[00:00] <vee> I installed phpmyadmin but cant get to it using http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[00:00] <kitche> arvin_: in the samba.conf file or though swat for a user unless you want your share wide open
[00:00] <achtung> sup ubunters!
[00:00] <Pelo> achtung, this is a support channel,  basicaly we aer up for helping ppl with ubuntu related issues
[00:00] <vee> am i doing something wrong?
[00:00] <Darius08x> Hmmm, I for some reason can't resize my partition. :/
[00:00] <achtung> ah
[00:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Darius08x: Is it mounted?
[00:00] <achtung> i've used ubuntu
[00:00] <astro76> achtung, but if you want to chat #ubuntu+1 is very active
[00:00] <ompaul> !offtopic
[00:00] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[00:00] <achtung> ok
[00:00] <astro76> achtung, err #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:00] <Darius08x> I just recently got done doing chckdsk /f about 49738 times in windows and finally got rid of some stupid error. But when I finalyl went to resize it..it just says it can't do it.
[00:01] <achtung> but i still use windows because of lack of native linux games
[00:01] <Darius08x> Uhhh, hold on, dunno. xD
[00:01] <vee> does anyone use phpmyadmin?
[00:01] <astro76> !games | achtung
[00:01] <ubotu> achtung: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[00:01] <Pelo> Darius08x,you can'T resize a live partiton, if you want to resize your ubuntu part you need to use the live cd,  use the 7.04 one or earlier the gutsy one is buggy for that
[00:01] <achtung> ok
[00:01] <pri> olá pessoal
[00:01] <astro76> !br | pri
[00:01] <pri> I am brazilian
[00:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !pt
[00:01] <ubotu> pri: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[00:02] <Darius08x> Ah, I'm using 7.10 So I have to go and download 7.04 or something? ):
[00:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Darius08x: or the gparted livecd.. that always works great..
[00:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !gparted
[00:02] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[00:02] <astro76> Darius08x, just get gparted livecd
[00:02] <pri> hello astro
[00:02] <Darius08x> Didn't work either JAck. :/
[00:02] <Pelo> Darius08x,  you can try with 7.10 , but be warned
[00:02] <netsrot> Pelo: thanks anyhow.
[00:03] <Darius08x> Oh, is gparted livecd diffrent then the gparted that comes on the 7.10 cd somehow?
[00:03] <DrUnKnMuNkY> hey everyone. i can't seem to get my sound working properly. the speakers are fine (i hear system beeps and whatnot) and i seem to have sound working in totem but there's no sound from firefox (youtube, etc.) and no sound from skype. any ideas?
[00:03] <vee> Can anyone asit me with the phpmyadmin i just installed on ubunutu server?
[00:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Darius08x: yes.. it is different.. stand alone... nice gui
[00:03] <Pelo> Darius08x, gparted live cd is another cd from the gparted ppl,   ubuntu live cd is from canonical and is a complete os
[00:03] <achtung> so if i cant talk here
[00:03] <achtung> can i just hang around?
[00:04] <ompaul> achtung, yes
[00:04] <achtung> k
[00:04] <kavelot> any hints on how to force a package installation when app manager says it's not supported on my hardware (I doubt thunderbird won't run on i386 :))?
[00:04] <Jack_Sparrow> achtung: feel free to watch and learn..
[00:04] <pri> hello boys
[00:04]  * IndyGunFreak highly recommends GParted Live.. Or PartedMagic... take your pick
[00:04] <Darius08x> Oh, okay, guess I'll try that in a second.
[00:04] <Pelo> vee, there aren't always ppl around that know about everytype of issue, you might want to give #networking a try for this question or even ##linux
[00:04] <vee> pelo thanx
[00:04] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: what do you need help with?
[00:04] <xTheGoat121x> So, it seems that at random, I got 100% CPU usage.... and it stays at that level till I restart.
[00:05] <Darius08x> Downlaoding it now, hope that works.
[00:05] <Darius08x> downloading
[00:05] <Pelo> xTheGoat121x,  got some java app working ?
[00:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Darius08x: much faster dl than a full desktop cd..
[00:05] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY cant get to it using http://localhost/phpmyadmin     is this the wrong way to get to it?
[00:05] <xiven> I need help with My install please
[00:05] <Pelo> xiven, we need specific questions
[00:05] <Darius08x> Yup.
[00:06] <vee> xiven whats the problem?
[00:06] <xiven> It won't get internet
[00:06] <xTheGoat121x> pelo... nope.  The only things that would be running are python apps... screenlets, to be exact... and I've already narrowed it down, not then.
[00:06] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: did you install it using apt-get or some other package manager or manually?
[00:06] <xiven> It gets an IP, but no internet
[00:06] <xiven> Windows works fine..
[00:06] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY  sudo get-apt install phpmyadmin
[00:06] <x80> does anyone know what this header is a part of: openglwidget.h
[00:06] <xiven> I have a wired connection to a router, with a wired connection to the modem. The modem has a wireless connection to the ISP
[00:06] <humblerodent> I've finished my English final essay.
[00:06] <humblerodent> yay.
[00:06] <achtung> \0/
[00:07] <Pelo> xTheGoat121x,  you are confusing me, when you get  100% cpu , open a terminal and type top,  see what process is on top of the list
[00:07] <vee> xiven open up System>Network
[00:07] <achtung> btw
[00:07] <Darius08x> I'm actually on ubuntu right now (I have NO idea what version put it on my laptop a little while ago) Does it come with any .iso burning stuffs. Or would it probably just be easier for me to but it on a usb drive and burn it from windows?
[00:07] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: i'm assuming you have apache installed on the machine. open a terminal and type cd /var/www. do you see anything called phpmyadmin?
[00:07] <achtung> has the problem with ubuntu killing laptop hard drives been fixed?
[00:07] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY yes i do... ap2... lemme try that
[00:07] <Jack_Sparrow> achtung: that isnt really like being quiet and reading along
[00:07] <thor> Darius08x you running gnome?
[00:07] <jacob__> can somebody tell me how to log out from superusers powers, (instead of waiting 15 mins)?
[00:07] <achtung> heheheh
[00:07] <achtung> i know
[00:07] <xTheGoat121x> Pelo, that's the thing.  there's nothing listed in top that's eating CPU cycles... it just seems to be unrelated to ANYthing
[00:08] <Pelo> Darius08x, yes you can right clic k and burn to cd,  but I prefer gnomebaker myself for that ,  just sudo apt-get install gnomebaker
[00:08] <unikon> why in the world is firefox slow in Ubuntu 7.10?
[00:08] <Pelo> xTheGoat121x, try with sudo top , might bring up more processes
[00:08] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY no such dir.
[00:09] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY under /etc i see it
[00:09] <xiven> I have opened System.NEtwork like 9 times
[00:09] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: what is your root apache directory?
[00:09] <Pelo> unikon, might have to do with how many plugins you have
[00:09] <rob_p> jacob__: sudo -K whould do it.
[00:09] <xiven> But, what do you want me to do?
[00:09] <ticky> does anybody konw why ubuntu is shutting down (or hibernating or suspending, i'm not sure which of the three is doing), all of a suden? i thought i was pressing some key combinations but i realized it was doing it by itself too..
[00:09] <xTheGoat121x> Pelo, I don't mean to be difficult, but I've tried that.
[00:09] <jacob__> rob_p: thx
[00:09] <rob_p> jacob__: welcome
[00:09]  * Pelo thinks xTheGoat121x  is just goating him 
[00:09] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY /var/www/apache2-default
[00:09] <kitche> ticky: an overheat maybe?
[00:09] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY thats it right?
[00:10] <ticky> kitche: i don 't think so. the funs are not loud.
[00:10] <Pelo> xTheGoat121x, could it be the display that is wrong ? is  your system behaving as if is it using 100% cpu &
[00:10] <billy> does anybody know why when i try to download the dota map, it doesnt show up when i play with it using wine?
[00:10] <Pelo> ?
[00:10] <vee> xiven you have to find where the network system window is to see if the settings are correct
[00:10] <ticky> is there a log where i can check the signals / messages?
[00:10] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: just /var/www is the root of the webserver folder. type this command while in /var/www: sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin
[00:10] <ticky> kitche: fans not funs
[00:11] <kitche> ticky: that doesn't mean anything could still be an overheating problem
[00:11] <xTheGoat121x> Pelo, now THAT sounds like a very good possibility!  In top and sudo top, nothing shows as chewing up 100% CPU, but in gnome-system-monitor, it shows 100% CPU usage w/o any apps eating that much CPU
[00:11] <ticky> kitche: how can i check that then?
[00:11] <billy> anybody here play wc3 dota on wine?
[00:12] <jacob__> rob_p: that didn't work
[00:12] <xiven> Maybe you guys would know about a common problem with Clearwire internet and Ubuntu
[00:12] <kitche> ticky: just have to watch your sensors
[00:12] <ticky> but i don'tthink it is that. it is not powering down like if there was a black out. it is shutting down like if i have chosen it
[00:12] <Pelo> xTheGoat121x, in system-monitor when you turn it on , the sys-mon itself does take quite a bit of cpu to get running , but it tends to go up and down for a while
[00:12] <rob_p> jacob__: Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to do.
[00:12] <kitche> ticky: yes some systems will powerdown like a shutdown
[00:12] <jacob__> rob_p: i want to graphically log out from superuser powers
[00:12] <ticky> kitche: you mean phisically, or in some program in the computer
[00:12] <xTheGoat121x> Pelo, alas, it's not just with system mon.
[00:12] <achtung> *reading*
[00:13] <kitche> ticky: well program lm-sensors
[00:13] <rob_p> jacob__: You mean you logged in graphically as root?
[00:13] <Pelo> xTheGoat121x,  there is a pannel app you can use to monitor your cpu and mem and a bunch of otehr suff that you can basicaly ahve on all the time, that might give you a better idea
[00:13] <ticky> kitche: installing it right now
[00:13] <Pelo> xTheGoat121x, sensors-applet  might need to apt-get it first
[00:13] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY ok i did that... what did that do... and i see a bunch files listed
[00:14] <xTheGoat121x> Pelo, all right.  I'll look into it
[00:14] <ticky> any other idea?
[00:14] <Jupp2> rob_p, I think he means that when you type in your password (e.g. synaptic) the system will still have you as root for a couple of minutes
[00:14]  * Pelo needs some junk to much on , later folks 
[00:14] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: that creates a symbolic link in your apache directory to the phpmyadmin directory. try going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin now
[00:15] <rob_p> Jupp2: Yeah.  That's what I thought initially too.  If that's the case, "sudo -K" should have forced an expire of sudo privs.
[00:15] <billy> anybody here have wc3 dota working?
[00:15] <asdsadasd> anyone knows if lineag2 can run on ubuntu some way? unreal engine2 support?
[00:15] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY  doesnt work
[00:15] <jacob__> rob_p: i loged in as the main and only user i have in the system, i want to grant access to superuser powers, but how can i log out of it so i can have standard powers
[00:15] <achtung> dota sucks!!!!
[00:15] <xTheGoat121x> ugh
[00:15] <kitche> asdsadasd: check wine appdb or cedega's if you want to pay a few bucks to get a good working system sicne their cvs doesn't run
[00:15] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY did i install it wrong?
[00:16] <billy> i cant get any downloaded maps on wc3 to work
[00:16] <kitche> billy: then you most likely have them in the wrong spot but that's more of a wc3 problem then a ubuntu one
[00:16] <billy> well i duno where to put them to get them to work with wine
[00:17] <billy> so im just wondering if anybody has them working in here
[00:17] <Jack_Sparrow> billy: try asking in #winehq
[00:17] <jacob__> rob_p: do you know how to do that?
[00:17] <billy> im banned :(
[00:17] <rob_p> jacob__: If you are logged in as the normal user, you don't have super user access without using sudo (or gksu, gksudo, etc.) before whatever you want to run with super user privs.
[00:17] <Jack_Sparrow> billy: Somehow, I am not surprised
[00:17] <eyemean> hi there, if i want to delete a protected folder how do i do in command pls?
[00:17] <kitche> billy: in the wc3 folder under ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ or whereverer wc3 is installed to
[00:17] <ticky> kitche: i cannot make it run, i have run sensors-detect and i still get "Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are." when i run `sensors`
[00:17] <billy> i have the map placed into the maps folder, but it doesnt show up when i play
[00:17] <Jack_Sparrow> eyemean: use sudo for cli or gksudo for gui apps
[00:18] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: i'm not sure. i just installed it using apt-get and it worked fine out of the box. try completely removing it and installing it again. sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin and sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
[00:18] <dngr> 7.10 install, hp dv600 with nvidia card, the machine just hangs on a black screen, probably X, what could one do to get it running?
[00:18] <jacob__> rob_p: i understand that, but how can i log out after i type (gksu, sudo, etc)
[00:18] <billy> how do i get unbanned from winehq?
[00:19] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: you may also want to reinstall apache2 in a similar manner
[00:19] <jacob__> rob_p: grant persmission as a normal user after granting superuser powers
[00:19] <Jack_Sparrow> billy: depends on what you did.. but that is all offtopic for this room
[00:19] <billy> kk
[00:19] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY i am running 7.10 server edition and installed LAMP i the beginning of the install
[00:19] <ticky> where can i get the messages for my system to find out why it shut down for the last time?
[00:19] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY then today i used apt-get to put phpmyadmin on.... was it on already an i double installed?
[00:20] <xTheGoat121x> BRB
[00:20] <eyemean> jack_sparrow, sorry but im new to linux, can u pls give example if i want to delete , say /opt/hvirtual
[00:20] <Jack_Sparrow> you would use sduo for root priv  then the rm command to remove the item
[00:20] <rob_p> jacob__: If you used sudo, then you can force an expire of the session by issuing, "sudo -k" at the command prompt.
[00:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !rm
[00:20] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[00:21] <dossy_> Hallo
[00:21] <pezz31> ticky:/var/log/syslog
[00:21] <ticky> thanks pezz31
[00:21] <Jack_Sparrow> eyemean: you can do... hold your breath... gksudo nautilus ... then exit nautilus asap
[00:22] <jacob> jacob__: after you used sudo once, all the other commands you run (that don't include the command "sudo") will still be run as a normal user
[00:22] <jacob__> rob_p: that didn't do it, i can still access the network settings in the gnome desktop environment
[00:22] <kohlgarten> hello. I have a little battery pb ; It doesn't charge and the "acpi" command replies : "Battery 1 Charged, 0%" ; any idea?
[00:23] <friendlys> what is a must have security software for linux? in your opinion?  tripwire?
[00:23] <jacob> jacob__: that is a convenience feature. it will remember your sudo password/session for 15 minutes and will automatically expire. All other commands and applications you use however will still run as a normal user.
[00:23] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: go to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
[00:23] <kitche> friendlys: no since tripwire can actually mess up the system it's installed on horribly
[00:23] <Jack_Sparrow> friendlys: wHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM?
[00:23] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: what files are listed in this directory?
[00:23] <Jack_Sparrow> friendlys: Sorry for the caps
[00:24] <jacob> jacob__: gnome's network settings automatically use sudo to grant superuser privileges that expire
[00:24] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY im in the dir.
[00:24] <unikon> pelo currently i have 15 plug ins
[00:24] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY only 000-default is in there
[00:24] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: open 000-default
[00:24] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY ok
[00:25]  * KTrigger is away: food and beer... necessities
[00:25] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY what am i looking for?
[00:25] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: what is listed beside DocumentRoot?
[00:26] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY /var/www/
[00:26] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: ok. try reinstalling phpmyadmin i don't see why it wouldn't work
[00:26] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY ok lemme try that
[00:27] <kelsin> jacob__: to remove privileges run "sudo -k" in the gnome run dialog (so it runs in the gnome env, not your new terminal environment that you get in a term)
[00:27] <_mastro_> hi all.. i've ubuntu feisty with ati proprietary driver (almost last ones)... i've installed compiz fusion "just for fun" but keep it disabled by default.... when i log in compiz fusion is enabled then after a while (some second) it shutdown itself and metacity come up again.. automatically! can you help me understanding what launch compiz entering gnome?
[00:27] <kelsin> jacob__: I think that's alt-F2 by default
[00:27] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: once it's installed check in /var/www for anything that says phpmyadmin. i've gotta head out but all i have is a link linking to /usr/share/phpmyadmin. that should be all you see in /var/www
[00:27] <vee> DrUnKnMuNkY  after i purge do exit then restart terminal
[00:27] <[Neurotic]> Hi, does anyone know what *** No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.c', error message would refer to when compiling a kernel? I assume I am just missing a package?
[00:27] <DrUnKnMuNkY> vee: shouldn't need to
[00:28] <vee> ok
[00:28] <vee> thannnnx
[00:28] <jsoftw> Why is it that my ~/.ssh/known_hosts file has _no_ ip addresses in it?
[00:28] <jsoftw> What is going on ?
[00:28] <kelsin> vee: I didn't hear the beginning of this, but phpmyadmin is installed not in /var/www and the config is in /etc/apache2/conf.d
[00:28] <jsoftw> its replaced with some gibbereish
[00:28] <kelsin> jsoftw: have you ssh'd as your user to other machines?
[00:29] <vee> kelsin just purged it!
[00:29] <jacob__> kelsin: how can i access the gnome run dialog
[00:29] <jsoftw> kelsin: yes I have.
[00:29] <kitche> jsoftw: because that's the way that it's suppose to look
[00:29] <kelsin> jacob__: I just said I think it's alt-F2 by default
[00:29] <jsoftw> kitche: no its not .
[00:29] <kitche> it encrypts the hosts jsoftw
[00:29] <jacob__> oh sorry
[00:29] <jacob__> i missed that
[00:29] <jsoftw> kitche: no no, there are no _IP_ addresses.
[00:29] <kelsin> jacob__: I've keybinded mine, but I'm pretty sure that's it
[00:29] <jsoftw> I realize there is supposed to be a dsa key and all that, but in ubuntu there is no ip address.
[00:30] <kitche> jsoftw: want me to show you my file from freebsd I have no ip addresses in that file either
[00:30] <Darius08x> Anyone wanna help me with gparted livecd thing?
[00:30] <vee> kelsin when I install it do i have to be in a certain directory?
[00:30] <jsoftw> kitche: :\
[00:30] <kelsin> jsoftw: yeah that's what ubuntu does, encrypsts the whole thing
[00:30] <jsoftw> kitche: are you _sure_ about that?
[00:30] <kelsin> vee: when you install phpmyadmin from the package?
[00:30] <Pelo> Darius08x,  are you in the live cd now ?
[00:30] <jsoftw> kelsin: ubuntu is the only thing I have ever seen it happen with
[00:30] <vee> kelsin yes
[00:30] <Darius08x> Yeah, an the very first screen.
[00:30] <dev_noob> I'm having an issue with /dev/sdb.  Unknown file system, and I cant repartition it :(
[00:30] <vee> kelsin using terminal
[00:30] <Darius08x> It wants me to choose which version I guess.
[00:30] <Pelo> Darius08x, use my nick in each so I know you are talking to me
[00:31] <Pelo> Darius08x,  a verson of what ?
[00:31] <Darius08x> Pelo: Ok, sorry
[00:31] <eyemean> jack-sparrow, cheers gksudo nautilus did the trick, i see wat u mean by hold ur breath, hahaha
[00:31] <kelsin> vee: then no, apt-get installs where it needs to no matter where you are when you run it
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Darius08x: tab will complete the nick you want to talk to
[00:31] <jsoftw> kelsin: show me the first part of a line out of known_hosts from freebsd then.
[00:31] <rob_p> jacob__: I just tried it.  Apparently it only works when invoking sudo <command> from the command line, not graphically.  Not sure why.
[00:31] <vee> kelsin sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin    .... do i have to cd/ swtich into the dir. i want it in???
[00:31] <vee> kelsin thanx
[00:31] <Darius08x> Pelo: It's listing things like Gparted-liveCD 0.3.4-10-beta (auto-config) and all sorts of stuff like that
[00:31] <vee> kelsin im installing it now and will let ya know what happend
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> eyemean: It is a huge bloated program and can be dangerous to your permissions  and is unforgiving if you make a mistake.
[00:31] <Pelo> Darius08x,  the live cd boot menu should show you stuff like  star/install , oem mode and stuff like that
[00:32] <Pelo> Darius08x,  is this the ubuntu live cd or the gparted cd ?
[00:32] <Darius08x> Pelo:  gparted.
[00:32] <dev_noob> gparted has a live cd?
[00:32] <Jack_Sparrow> eyemean: You might consider thunar as an alternate file manager.. lighter etc
[00:32] <Jack_Sparrow> devyes
[00:32] <jsoftw> like bash
[00:32] <jsoftw> :p
[00:32] <Jack_Sparrow> devyes
[00:32] <Pelo> Darius08x, I've never seen that one,  just pick the highest nuber that is not a beta  taht would be my guess

[00:33] <Jack_Sparrow> eyemean: it works, but I hate to give that command without a word of caution.. hope you understand
[00:33] <whabo> help, how come after uninstalling wine .. and removing the .wine folder ... its still visible under "all applications"?????? anyone? thx
[00:33] <Darius08x> Pelo:  Now it's asking me to select a keymap. o.o
[00:33] <kelsin> vee: "dpkg -L phpmyadmin" to see where it placed files
[00:33] <Darius08x> Pelo:  NEver mind about that. xD
[00:33] <Pelo> Darius08x,  keymap is yoru keyboard type
[00:34] <vee> kelsin k... lemme type it
[00:34]  * Pelo will kick Darius08x  if he asks about selecting a language
[00:34] <Darius08x> Pelo:  Thanks I figured it out as soon as I was done typing it. xD
[00:34] <Darius08x> Pelo:  Do I want english?
[00:34] <Darius08x> kidding
[00:34] <Darius08x> :p
[00:34] <Pelo> Darius08x,  I'm not the one using it
[00:34] <kelsin> whabo: did you install/uninstall from the ubuntu package?
[00:34] <Jack_Sparrow> duck and cover
[00:34] <whabo> kelsin: yes i did
[00:34] <eyemean> jack_sparrow, perfectly understandable, u can never be too cautious with newbes, hahaha
[00:35] <whabo> kelsin: i used synaptic
[00:35] <Jack_Sparrow> eyemean: welcome to ubuntu...
[00:35] <kelsin> whabo: when you say from "All Applications" where you are talking about?
[00:35] <whabo> kelsin: im talking about the application list in my menu
[00:35] <Darius08x> Ok, finally got to the GUI now
[00:35] <vee> kelsin what should i look for exactly
[00:35] <eyemean> jack_sparrow, cheers, cant rember if i said thank you for your help, so Thank you very much.
[00:36] <kelsin> whabo: I would try "sudo apt-get purge wine" and make sure you got all wine packages that installed
[00:36] <Jack_Sparrow> eyemean: np.. and thanks
[00:36] <Pelo> Darius08x, select the drive first,  (I'm assuming the interface is the same as in ubuntu )
[00:36] <eyemean> jack-sparrow, welcome
[00:36] <billy> can anybody here help me with warcraft 3 on wine, and playing downloaded maps?
[00:36] <vee> kelsin i see usr/share/phpmyadmin/...   quite alot
[00:36] <kelsin> billy: what about it is not working?
[00:36] <kitche> billy: I told you what you need to do
[00:36] <Pelo> Darius08x, then find the partiton you need to resize and right click, should be self explanatory,  apply after each command is my recommendation
[00:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo: it is similar,
[00:36] <whabo> kelsin: you mean reinstalling wine????
[00:36] <Darius08x> Ok, I just clicked resize/move, and resized it to half it's original size. Now I've got "An error occurred while applying the operations"
[00:37] <vee> kelsin and etc/phpmyadmin
[00:37] <Darius08x> :/
[00:37] <kelsin> whabo: no "sudo apt-get purge wine" does not install it, it purges which means removes the packge including any files marked as config files
[00:37] <Pelo> Darius08x,  any info on what the error is ?
[00:37] <kelsin> vee: there you go
[00:37] <billy> kelsin: i have the map downloaded, and its in my wine c: drive in the maps folder, but when i try to play the game, the map doesnt show up
[00:37] <Pelo> Darius08x, what FS is this partition you want to rezise ?
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Darius08x: what is the format of the drive you are trying to resize?
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[00:37] <Pelo> ...
[00:38] <Darius08x> NTFS
[00:38] <gladir> hey guys - im running the livecd - what module do i need to load to get a X1950pro to load X? or do i have to use envy to get it for me
[00:38] <vee> kelsin  i tired accessing it localhost/phpmyadmin and that didnt work
[00:38] <kelsin> billy: is it a map made for a different version of warIII then you're running? and did you try dropping it in the "downloads" folder underneath maps? (I don't know if that mattered)
[00:38] <Pelo> Darius08x,  xp 's ntfs or vista's ?
[00:38] <vee> kelsin thiswas my ori. problem
[00:38] <whabo> kelsin: thank you soo much
[00:38] <Darius08x> xp
[00:38] <gladir> pelo - ntfs is ntfs .. theres no difference between vista and xp
[00:38] <Darius08x> Pelo: XP
[00:38] <Pelo> Darius08x,  makeing it bigger or smaller ?
[00:38] <kitche> gladir: actually there is
[00:38] <kelsin> vee: one sec
[00:38] <vee> kelsin k
[00:39] <billy> kelsin: its the newest dota map, and i have it on frozen throne
[00:39] <kelsin> billy: and warIII is fully patched to the newest version?
[00:39] <Darius08x> Pelo:  smaller
[00:39] <billy> kelsin: yes warIII has the newest patch
[00:40] <Pelo> Darius08x, are you tring to make it smaller then the size need for the data on it ? if you get my meaning
[00:40]  * Pelo is embarassed about his last sentence
[00:40] <Darius08x> Pelo:  Trying to dual boot it and ubuntu
[00:40] <Darius08x> Pelo:  No. :p
[00:40] <Pelo> Darius08x,  how much data is on the ntfs drive ?
[00:40] <Pelo> Darius08x,  never mind the last one
[00:41] <tanath> i just had a wierd untitled, empty window pop up on my screen. how can i figure out what it s?
[00:41] <Darius08x> Pelo:  okey
[00:41] <Pelo> Darius08x, boot back xp run a scandisk and then run defrag twice at least,  then try the gparted cd again
[00:41] <tanath> when i focus it, it shows whatever is behind it
[00:41] <tanath> er, what was behind it at the time, actually
[00:41] <Darius08x> I've already done chkdsk /f and defraged a BUNCH of times.
[00:41] <kelsin> vee: did you restart apache? and choose the right apache version when you installed phpmyadmin?
[00:42] <Pelo> Darius08x, ok , still in gparted ?
[00:42] <Darius08x> I was getting some cluster error thing and that got fixed. But now it won't resize.
[00:42] <Darius08x> Yes. I am.
[00:42] <kelsin> vee: (restarting apache shouldn't be a problem, but it might have screwed up somehow)
[00:42] <vee> kelsin no, and I choose apache 2... as i think thats the version that comes with u.server 7.10
[00:42] <Pelo> Darius08x, refresh the gparted view,  I know that in 7.04 it would occasionnaly tell you there was an error but it would still do the job
[00:42] <kelsin> vee: you have the myphp conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d correct?
[00:43] <vee> kelsin lemme check
[00:43] <Darius08x> ... Now my mouse isn't working
[00:43] <kelsin> vee: and you don't have any other websites that overight the alias? you can try disabling all sites in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled folder
[00:43] <Pelo> Darius08x,  reboot the cd
[00:43] <Darius08x> Pelo:  I am.
[00:43] <kelsin> billy: don't know what to tell you :-( works for me just fine, try putting it into the downloads folder inside maps just in case that matters
[00:44] <Pelo> Darius08x, the only other thing I can suggest,  would be to backup your xp data,  whipe the hdd make two partition install xp on one and then install ubu on the other
[00:44] <vee> kelsin i see charset in that directory
[00:44] <billy> kelsin: when i make the downloads folder, it doesnt even show up
[00:44] <vee> kelsin no other sites
[00:44] <Darius08x> bleh. So just reformat completly. And before installing either go ahead and resize it?
[00:44] <narothepharoh> pelo: how do I run a terminal as root?
[00:44] <kelsin> vee: did you just hit enter over apache2 when installing phpmyadmin or did you hit space so the * appeared next to apache2 then selected
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo
[00:45] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[00:45] <kelsin> vee: if you don't know then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin" to do it again
[00:45] <Pelo> narothepharoh,  you donT run terminal as root you run commands with sudo
[00:45] <kelsin> billy: try making "Downloads"
[00:45] <vee> i had it highlighted red, then hit enter
[00:45] <billy> kelsin: ok
[00:45] <vee> kelsin look above
[00:45] <Pelo> Darius08x, that was a last ditch way to do it , if you can't manage to resize
[00:45] <kelsin> billy: if that doesn't work go and join a b.net game to make war make the folder then place your map in it
[00:46] <Pelo> !root > narothepharoh check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[00:46] <kelsin> vee: make sure to hit space to make the * appear, run that dpkg-reconfigure command and do it again
[00:46] <vee> kelsin ok
[00:46] <billy> kelsin: kk i got it to work, thanks a lot
[00:46] <fenris> hi
[00:46] <kelsin> billy: was it "Downloads"?
[00:46] <Pelo> hello fenris
[00:47] <billy> kelsin: no it was that i copied the folder with the game, and i put it else where, and i thought the maps were in there, but then it was in the original folder
[00:47] <kelsin> billy: ok didn't understand that at all, but glad you got it working
[00:48] <tanath> i'm getting empty untitled windows popping up on my screen at random. can anyone help?
[00:48] <MikeyMike> ok where might i find info about specifically putting ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386 onto a flash drive so that i can boot it live and fix some partitions?
[00:48] <Pelo> tanath, are you sure you are using ubuntu and not windows ?
[00:49] <Jack_Sparrow> MikeyMike: I gave you the link in the other channel
[00:49] <MikeyMike> i was told to go to pendrivelinux but is there something on ubuntu's website?
[00:49] <Drac[Away]> Hi there.
[00:49] <tanath> Pelo, lol, funny
[00:49] <MikeyMike> Jack_Sparrow,  is there something on ubuntu's website that tells me how?
[00:49] <Pelo> tanath, did you put anything in crontab ?
[00:49] <MikeyMike> i'll check out pendrivelinux.com
[00:49] <vee> kelsin  YOU GOT IT..... i got to eager and didnt bother pressing <space>... ok now how do you get the user and pass for it?
[00:49] <kelsin> !installing | MikeyMike
[00:49] <ubotu> MikeyMike: 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
[00:49] <MikeyMike> thanks kelsin
[00:50] <tanath> they looked about the right size/shape for amsn chat windows, so i thought it was that, but it didn't go away when i closed it
[00:50] <kelsin> vee: it's whatever user and password you setup for mysql
[00:50] <tanath> Pelo, nope
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> tanath: do you have effects enabled?
[00:50] <fenris> hm, i have a dualcore cpu, shouldn't /proc/cpuinfo report two cpus?
[00:50] <Pelo> tanath, any info in them or just blank windows ?
[00:50] <Draconicus> I upgraded to Gutsy, and then mpg321 stopped working...
[00:50] <tanath> Jack_Sparrow, using CF
[00:50] <Draconicus> Any ideas?
[00:50] <kelsin> vee: I think ubuntu's default is root/password
[00:50] <fenris> at least it did some time ago
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> tanath: I got that when I ran a kde app in ubuntu with compiz running
[00:50] <tanath> Pelo, no, they show what was on the screen behind the window at the time of appearance
[00:50] <Pelo> Draconicus,  reinstall from synaptic
[00:50] <kelsin> MikeyMike: that first link has a "Without CD" section that I think explains it
[00:50] <tanath> Jack_Sparrow, not running any kde apps at the moment
[00:50] <Draconicus> Same with mpg123
[00:50] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  ok thank you
[00:51] <Draconicus> Pelo: Thought as much. >.>
[00:51] <Jack_Sparrow> tanath: if you turn off effects the problem goes away?
[00:51] <tanath> Jack_Sparrow, wasn't really doing anything in particular except using epiphany
[00:51] <Pelo> tanath, try turning off compiz , run a while without see if the problem still occurs
[00:52] <tanath> ugh, i'd rather not. i use the negative plugin to invert the colours... everything is bright & harsh on the eyes without it
[00:52] <Darius08x> Pelo:  Looks like I'm gonna have to format entirely.
[00:52] <tanath> is there some way i can figure out what app these windows are from?
[00:52] <vee> kelsin ok.. can i reset it somewhere?
[00:53] <Pelo> Darius08x, well partition before hand make one fat32 and one ext3 , makethe fat32 first you can tell windows to instlal and reforma it to ntfs
[00:53] <Darius08x> ok
[00:53] <kelsin> vee: from inside phpmyadmin you can, or using the mysql command line tools, it wouldn't have changed unless you changed it, if I'm even correct about the default, I don't know if I am
[00:53] <tanath> aha! it's something from epiphany. java or something
[00:53] <Darius08x> aand there goes my mouse again.
[00:53] <Pelo> Darius08x, it's probabaly for the best,  if  you can't resize it , there is probably some thiny little someting wrong with it
[00:53] <Darius08x> Pelo:  Thanks, I'll get back to you if i have any other troubles. :p
[00:53] <vee> kelsin hhmMm
[00:54] <tanath> i clicked a link when the window popped up, and when i went away from the page (reloaded in this case), the window disappeared
[00:54]  * Pelo runs away and hides from Darius08x  :"I can'T deal with anymore trouble.... ahahahahaha !!"""
[00:54] <tanath> it's java or flash
[00:54] <tanath> and it's not working
[00:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo: first round is on me...  see you tomorrow...
[00:54] <luciddr34m3r> I've been having a heck of a time with my wireless card, would anybody be able to help me out?
[00:55] <kelsin> luciddr34m3r: just ask your questions
[00:55] <Darius08x> This is nothing Pelo. xD you should have seen me when I first installed ubuntu and treid to get a LAMP server running.
[00:55] <aladdinsane> If i add the backports like this to my sources list:
[00:55] <aladdinsane> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-backports main universe multiverse restricted
[00:55] <aladdinsane> Dont i need an authentication key? if so where do i find one and how do i add it?
[00:55] <Darius08x> My god it was pathetic. Even more so then now
[00:55] <Pelo> Darius08x, I was just kidding
[00:55] <luciddr34m3r> Well, I have a fresh install of ubuntu on my laptop, and I cant see any wireless networks. My roommate uses the same exact laptop and he doesnt have a problem. I may have used a slightly more recent version...
[00:56] <snkmad> theres a dir where all the Menu entries are saved?
[00:56] <Darius08x> I know. :p
[00:56] <luciddr34m3r> We are using the same drivers, so I assumed it would work for me too.
[00:56] <Pelo> Darius08x, I'm usualy very good at holding hands ,  I'm just disapointed that you will have to reinstall xp,  I know how long that takes, and how insanely teidious is it
[00:56] <alevine> how do i set up aptitude to use a certain repo for only a couple packages?
[00:56] <Zot^> I don' t have any sounds, system or speaker.......any suggestions?
[00:57] <xTheGoat121x> Has anyone here worked with ACPIs?  More specifically, with iasl?
[00:57] <sn0> alevine check into "apt pinning"
[00:57] <Darius08x> Pelo:  This is probably about my 6th time reinstalling it in the past month.
[00:57] <alevine> sn0: exactly what i wanted thanks
[00:57] <sn0> np
[00:57] <Pelo> Darius08x,  why not ditch xp altogether
[00:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Darius08x: once you get XP back on... and then ubuntu...  make an image of your boot sector with dd .... it comes in handy when I reinstall mine
[00:57] <crimsun> aladdinsane: the key is identical to the existing archive one (Ubuntu Archive Signing Key, 437D05B5)
[00:57] <luciddr34m3r> Ubuntu auto detected my wireless driver, but I still can't see any networks. Google wasn't able to help either.
[00:58] <Pelo> afk
[00:58] <Darius08x> Jack_Sparrow: Do what now?
[00:58]  * lalyta hi all
[00:58] <tilgovi> I've been searching around, but can't seem to find a way to change my default gcc to 4.2 in a way that is "ubuntu" (I could manually change symlinks, but this seems wrong...)
[00:59] <Darius08x> Pelo:  I use it for games, and also I've always used windows. It's easier for me.
[00:59] <computerex> Hi guys. This is my partition table: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e80/computerex/gparted.png does anyone know how I can get some more space to hda5?
[00:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Darius08x: after you get xp and ub installed.. make a backup of the drive boot sector to save you time later when XP needs to get reinstalled
[00:59] <bruenig> um an "ubuntu" way would be no gcc at all so I wouldn't worry about it
[00:59] <Darius08x> Pelo:  If I get use to linux enough...maybe.
[00:59] <Darius08x> Pelo:  Dunno if that'll happen though. :p
[00:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Darius08x: I need XP since it helps pay the bills
[00:59] <tilgovi> bruenig: That's a lame answer.  Ubuntu doesn't say you can't compile things, it just doesn't make you.  It does however, give you packages for gcc, it should give me a way to select which to use.
[01:00] <Oni-Dracula> anyone know how to disable mousekeys (mouse movement with the numpad)
[01:00] <Darius08x> Jack_Sparrow: >.> Dunno how to do that at all.. : D
[01:00] <Darius08x> I'll just worry about one thing at once.
[01:00] <workdammit> greetings, can anyone walk me through installing ruby 1.8.5 on ubuntu (using aptitude?) i can't seem to find it (1.8.6 is the current ruby version but it has a bug i need to downgrade)
[01:00] <xTheGoat121x> I'm guessing not, then
[01:00] <Animortis> I'm getting an unusual error installing flash. Can anyone help?
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Darius08x: sudo su ... cd Desktop .... dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.backup bs=446 count=1
[01:01] <jvai> anyone on dapper?
[01:01] <luciddr34m3r> my wireless card really should be working i think... i just cant see any networks, but i'm sitting a foot away from my AP
[01:01] <vee>  kelsin err i cant get into it
[01:01] <kitche> Animortis: well what is the error then maybe we will help can't help really without knowing the error
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Darius08x: assuming sda is your drive..
[01:01] <bruenig> tilgovi, the concept of an "ubuntu" way is a lame one to begin with, I was merely demonstrating that
[01:01] <vee> kelsin i wrote it down but it doesnt work
[01:02] <Pelo> luciddr34m3r,  you did read the wifi documentation from ubuntu right ?
[01:02] <bruenig> tilgovi, do what you want so long as it works
[01:02] <Jack_Sparrow> luciddr34m3r: did you ever identify your hardware/card?
[01:02] <Animortis> When done downloading flash from Synaptic, the console view displays the following message: md5sum mismatch install flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz / The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[01:02] <void^> tilgovi: the "ubuntu way" which is the "debian way" is to use update-alternatives for these things, but it can only be used if the packages are available, of course.
[01:02] <circaender> when I start my Ubuntu, it loads three bars and then just stalls? its a dedicated Ubuntu machine.
[01:02] <aladdinsane> crimsun: ok so does that mean i dont need to add a new key then, just uncomment the backports line in my sources list? And another question, reading about the backports repo, i understand it can have some security issues using it, how bad/serious is that really?
[01:03] <kitche> Animortis: sounds like you need to update the repos by refreshing synaptic
[01:03] <Pelo> circaender, canyou boot the recovery mode ?
[01:03] <Animortis> kitche: ... Ah, okay. One sec...
[01:03] <crimsun> aladdinsane: that's correct.  It can be serious, though the community attempts to keep it free of serious security issues.
[01:03] <tilgovi> void^: Right...I thought as much.  I don't see an update alternatives for the toolchain though
[01:03] <ztomic> luciddr34m3r: Which card is it?
[01:03] <circaender> pelo- no, and i can't see any but one error in text mode..
[01:04] <luciddr34m3r> I read as much documentation as i could, and no luck. I'm using a broadcom wireless card. Ubuntu decided to use an Atheros driver, but thats even whats listen on HP's site.
[01:04] <Darius08x> Jack_Sparrow:  Ah, welll, I'll ask you for that again later. I just need to install xp first at least.
[01:04] <Pelo> circaender,  and what is the error ?
[01:04] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[01:04] <crimsun> tilgovi: well, the gcc-defaults source package generates binary packages that set c{[c{,pp}89],++}
[01:04] <ztomic> luciddr34m3r: which model?
[01:05] <Animortis> kitche: No dice.
[01:05] <crimsun> ick, boog in my regex
[01:05] <aladdinsane> crimsun: ok but how serious is it, i mean is it worth using or should one better keep away?
[01:05] <Pelo> luciddr34m3r, look up the exact model in here there might be advice  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[01:05] <Animortis> Refreshing the repos did not work.
[01:05] <circaender> pelo, error_code+0x72/0x80  theres stuff after that..but if they are errors too, then there is a huge list and i cant see all of them.
[01:05] <crimsun> aladdinsane: you use it at your own risk.  Please consider that.
[01:05] <circaender> i have reinstalled 3 times..
[01:05] <kitche> Animortis: then the package is corrupted or something else
[01:05] <luciddr34m3r> ok hold on i'll find the model number again...
[01:05] <Pelo> circaender, can you boot any of the previous kernels ? if you have any
[01:06] <vee> kelsin i cant get in
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> luciddr34m3r: My hp came with a broadcom bcm43xx
[01:06] <Animortis> Well, it downloads it every time. Is there a problem with the repos right now?
[01:06] <circaender> um, im really new to this..so im not sure what you mean?
[01:06] <pablin> buenas
[01:06] <void^> tilgovi: well, there's also the generic way of setting CC
[01:07] <luciddr34m3r> Thats probably it. I run an NW8000, and that number sounds right. I found instrustions for that though and they didnt help. I'm 99% positive the driver is right though.
[01:07] <Pelo> circaender,  when you boot the comp, do you get a boot menu ? if not , reboot and type the esc key right after the bios stuff is done, that will get you the grub boot menu, you can boot in recovery mode or previous kernels from there ifyou hve any

[01:07] <aladdinsane> crimsun: yes i get that, im just trying to get a picture of how big that risk could be. put it like this, are u using it? and/or would u recommend a friend using it?
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> luciddr34m3r: IS that the help you used?
[01:08] <speedhunt3r> Jack_Sparrow: hey I was arvin_ a while ago, on my friend's pc
[01:08] <circaender> yes, i have been there before. i have the main kernal,the recovery one and somethign else after that.
[01:08] <circaender> the first two, just go to the load screen.. loads three of the bars and stalls in the same place every time.
[01:08] <snkmad> theres a dir where all the Menu entries are saved?
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> speedhunt3r: Ok.. I am already late.. so I must leave..   hope things are working for you
[01:09] <Pelo> circaender, ok I'll assume you tried them all, with this kind of error I would boot the live cd, try and backup my /home partiton and then just clean install
[01:09] <luciddr34m3r>  Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705M_2 Gigabit Ethernet is my card
[01:09] <luciddr34m3r> so its not the 43xx
[01:09] <xTheGoat121x> I don't seem to have ACPI implemented in my system... maybe my DSDT is messed up?
[01:09] <speedhunt3r> take care
[01:09] <ztomic> luciddr34m3r: ndiswrapper
[01:09] <kitche> luciddr34m3r: hmm that might not work not sure though
[01:09] <gorath> can any one tell me how to get/install xwinwrap for gusty please?
[01:09] <Bored1ed> Hello People!
[01:09] <Pelo> gorath,  did you look in synaptic ?
[01:09] <ztomic> ouch!
[01:09] <SonicChao> Hi Bored1ed
[01:10] <luciddr34m3r> i tried ndiswrapper
[01:10] <Bored1ed> Hi Sonic, whats happening?
[01:10] <gorath> pelo: yes nothing comes up when i search
[01:10] <workdammit> is it possible to downgrade packages in ubuntu? or do the old packages just get phased out over time
[01:10] <circaender> The live cd does the same thing, and i checked it for errors? I looked up my motherboard and it said it was compatable and everything..
[01:10] <ztomic> buy an atheros based card... all mine work perfectly.
[01:10] <circaender> i think i might be at a loss.
[01:10]  * Animortis is still not sure why apt-get can't download the flash player.
[01:10] <speedhunt3r> from selecting ubuntu from my grub loader till the log in screen, my monitor turns off while booting up..anyway I can fix this?
[01:10] <netsrot> Pelo: now it's working great, I just needed to set the min and max values in the file you talked about which no guide was explaining about but it was comments in the file.
[01:10] <jrib> workdammit: yes and yes
[01:11] <Pelo> gorath,  google for the website , on there look for a deb file , it you dont, find any get the source and come back , we'll tel you how to compile it
[01:11] <kitche> Animortis: it's corrupted on the repos or your local hashes are wrong but I'd say the package is corrupted
[01:11] <gorath> pelo: ok thanks
[01:11] <Pelo> circaender,  if you can't even boot the live cd,  consider it might be an hardware issue
[01:11] <workdammit> jrib: do you know how to specify aptitude to grab a particular package?
[01:11] <luciddr34m3r> The driver is good though. My roomate uses the same exact driver. I know at least 4 people with the same model laptop and the card worked out of the box (and i confirmed the driver to be identical to mine)
[01:11] <jrib> workdammit: aptitude install PACKAGE=VERSION
[01:11] <Pelo> netsrot, I knew it was there but It's been so long I didn't remember much about it
[01:11] <Pelo> netsrot, congrats
[01:12] <jrib> workdammit: apt-cache policy PACKAGE  to list
[01:12] <ztomic> luciddr34m3r: If you can identify the chipset as being supported then you may want to try manual setup. If not then ndiswrapper should work if you have the windows driver. the other option is to buy a new card.
[01:12] <kitofhawaii> speedhunt3r: you have an onboard video card? also, have a card with both DVI and VGA?
[01:12] <netsrot> Pelo: it seems to respect the available stepps as well.
[01:12] <Pelo> jrib, stop pressuiing the noobs
[01:12] <workdammit> jrib thanks!
[01:12] <Animortis> kitche: I've done a sudo apt-get clean'
[01:12] <Animortis> kitche: and that didn't change the result. Any other suggestions?
[01:12] <kitche> Animortis: well that just cleans the cache of packages
[01:12] <Pelo> netsrot, I don'T know how it could do otherwise
[01:13] <speedhunt3r> kitofhawaii: yes i do have onboard, but I am using my PCI-ex card.. I think the PCI-ex has both dvi and vga
[01:13] <Pulgus> ola todo mundo!
[01:13] <kitofhawaii> Animortis: after adding the restricted repo's did you do an update?
[01:13] <Animortis> Yea, the hope would be the new package would download safely. This is a fresh Ubuntu install...

[01:13] <TeslaDave> Hi all, I am trying to install a program called Think or Swim onto my Gusty ADM64 machine, does anyone know about this program?
[01:13] <Animortis> kitofhawaii, I have refreshed my repos. I'll do it again for safety sake...
[01:13] <circaender> if i looked up my motherboard and it said it was supported, is there still a chance its that?
[01:13] <luciddr34m3r> *sigh* ok i'll play around with it for awhile again. i may be back
[01:14] <kitofhawaii> speedhunt3r: have a spare monitor handy to plug in while seeing if it comes up over on one of them?
[01:14] <GeddiGuy> Hey, this is the first time I've used IRC! Am I working ok?
[01:14] <Pelo> circaender, did ubuntu work well before ?
[01:14] <ztomic> Personally, I never had good luck with ndiswrapper. I could connect but it was slow and dropped connection a lot.
[01:14] <jrib> GeddiGuy: yes
[01:14] <kitofhawaii> Animortis: what's the msg you're getting?
[01:14] <kefurd06> yes guy
[01:14] <GeddiGuy> KEWL! Thanks jrib
[01:14] <speedhunt3r> kitofhawaii: you mean on my video card that's not being used?
[01:14] <circaender> no, this is my first time trying.
[01:15] <kitofhawaii> speedhunt3r: yah, on one of the other ports, to see if any are "misbehaving"
[01:15] <Pelo> circaender, maybe you should try with the alternate install cd it is less picky about hardware when it installs
[01:15] <kitofhawaii> speedhunt3r: also, confirm in bios that the onboard is off and deprived an IRQ
[01:15] <speedhunt3r> kitofhawaii: yeah i do have a spare, suppose the display goes on to that monitor, then what do i do?
[01:15] <Animortis> kitofhawaii, md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz / The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[01:15] <TeslaDave> The program doesn't start fully because when it starts  it tries to update and write files i believe, and thus since SU doesn't really exist in ubuntu, it can't update and thus can't start, is their a place where i can install it so that i don't have to worry about sudo or su
[01:16] <netsrot> Pelo: great thanks, now it's only my cdrom drive making noices, I hope that cdemu will release a stable version soon but development seems dead.
[01:16] <speedhunt3r> kitofhawaii: i don't have a choice to turn it off, i can set one primary so i set my primary to pci-ex
[01:16] <raj_> hello guys. i need help creating a shortcut for an application ... under the application list>>>>> i recently installed wine ... but however after uninstallation and removal of .wine folder the application was still existing on my application list> so what i did it i went to menu editor and deleted it.... Today i installed wine again ... but however it does not show under applications anymore .. im talking about the folder that takes u
[01:16] <raj_> to programs etc.... how can i fix that ??? anyone ??? thank you
[01:16] <marl> hi folks, im running a VS with Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS  and am hitting a prob trying to setup an iptables rule, could some kind sole have a quick look at http://www.pastebin.ca/807821 and see if they can see what im doing wrong?
[01:16] <circaender> Thats how i got it to install, and it all installed fine and detected all my hardware and everything..and it told me to take the cd out and reboot..so i did, and it just loaded up three bars and stalled.
[01:16] <kitofhawaii> speedhunt3r: you should be able to rob it of its IRQ
[01:16] <ztomic> btw, is the wireless tool to graphically select a specific AP?
[01:16] <mico> hi there []
[01:16] <speedhunt3r> kitofhawaii: i'll look for it, i recently updated bios, brb....
[01:16] <Pelo> netsrot, my dvd drive was making some noise recently as well , I'm not sure it is ubuntu related but I was thinking it might have been , seemesd to have stopped now
[01:17] <ztomic> NM, that would be in manual configuration...
[01:17] <mico> could anyone point me direction of links to learn how to install an LDAP server and clients in gutsy ?
[01:17] <dewdude> ok, so, my laptop hard drive started making funky zipping/whining noises and after about 5 minutes, 100% died..like..the bios doesn't even detect it..so i put my 80gb drive in the thing that had a previous ubuntu install from an HP Omnibook...now i know i should idealy reinstall ubuntu...but..there's some stuff in /home i really don't wanna get rid of...any options for me?
[01:18] <Pelo> mico, assuming an ldap client is just a bunch of apps , you just need to know what those apps are and install them from synaptic
[01:18] <kefurd06> dewdude: if the drive isn't even picked up in bios.. u may be SOL
[01:18] <whabo>  hello guys. i need help creating a shortcut for an application ... under the application list>>>>> i recently installed wine ... but however after uninstallation and removal of .wine folder the application was still existing on my application list> so what i did it i went to menu editor and deleted it.... Today i installed wine again ... but however it does not show under applications anymore .. im talking about the folder that takes u
[01:18] <kitofhawaii> Animortis: i'm seeing you're not the only one having the problem...someone posted a workaround in ubuntuforums
[01:18] <whabo> to programs etc.... how can i fix that ??? anyone ??? thank you
[01:19] <kitofhawaii> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3013930&postcount=3
[01:19] <ztomic> dewdude: usb pendrive. In the future create a separate home partition.
[01:19] <kefurd06> dewdude: i've heard of companies that will take your dead hard drive and get as much data for u from it as they can
[01:19] <Animortis> kitofhawaii, A repo difficulty? I'll take a look or wait for it to fix.
[01:19] <dewdude> no no
[01:19] <dewdude> you totally misheard me.
[01:19] <Pelo> dewdude,  if hyou have some free hdd space,  resize to make a new partiton from that free space and copy your /home folder to it
[01:19] <gorath> Pelo: ok i belive i have the source now for xwinwrap how do i compile
[01:19] <dewdude> the drive that died..had nothing on it
[01:19] <dewdude> i don't care
[01:19] <kefurd06> oh
[01:19] <kefurd06> sry
[01:19] <dewdude> it had suffered a problem with data loss before and i was a fool for trying to use it
[01:19] <marl> dewdude: one tip u could try to get allow getting some data back from the drive if u need it, is place the drive oin an external drive caddy, and put it in the freezer in a well sealed bag
[01:19] <dewdude> but i wasn't sure if that was the issue with the thing.
[01:20] <dewdude> nah
[01:20] <circaender> is there a way i can find out if its my hard ware? i checked my motherboard and it said it was compatible..im not sure what else it could be..i have a Nvidia g-card
[01:20] <dewdude> the dead drive is in the trash already
[01:20] <Pelo> gorath, first you need to install the compiling software,    open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:20] <kitofhawaii> Animortis: the other thing you can try is "sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree" and then try the aptget again
[01:20] <kefurd06> now what was ur question?
[01:20] <ztomic> dewdude: I like Pelo's idea.
[01:20] <whabo> How can i create a shortcut for a new subfolder under applications??? its for WINE and the programs in it .. anyone ??? PLZ HELPP .. THANK YOU
[01:20] <dewdude> i thought about trying that.
[01:20] <kefurd06> sry whabo, wish i knew
[01:20] <marl> leaving it in the external caddy/bad, allows you to actually run and access it while it is still in the freezer! can allow short term access to apparently totaly dead drives!
[01:20] <dewdude> i know that
[01:20] <gorath> pelo: ok
[01:20] <Pelo> circaender, ifyou hve anything nvidia on your comp , use the alternate install cd , not the live cd , youcan get it from the ubuntu.com site, fromteh dl section , just check the box bellow the download button
[01:20] <whabo> kefurd06: its ok thx :)
[01:21] <Pelo> gorath,  done ?
[01:21] <gorath> pelo:yep
[01:21] <dewdude> the point is...i don't care about the dead drive..i'm jsut wondering should i try to reconfigure the ubuntu install on the "new" drive or reformat after getting the /home stuff backuped somehow
[01:21] <Pelo> gorath, ok  is the xwin... source package on your desktop ?
[01:21] <Animortis> kitofhawaii, Didn't work. I'll look for that workaround.
[01:21] <Bored1ed> Anyone have any download recommendations? Im quite bored.
[01:21] <dewdude> it's booted up in console since X wouldn't start..and my wifi is working......i jsut didn't know if there was some easy way to do it
[01:21] <DIL> stick the drive in the freezer and try it again -
[01:21] <kelsin> marl: looks to me like the REDIRCT table doesn't exist, I could be very wrong about that
[01:21] <circaender> Thats how i got it to install, and it all installed fine and detected all my hardware and everything..and it told me to take the cd out and reboot..so i did, and it just loaded up three bars and stalled.
[01:22] <TeslaDave> I have a question regarding installing a program that needs root su access everytime it starts, is there a place where it can be installed to get around the sudo / su differences ubuntu has?
[01:22] <Pelo> gorath,  join me in #Pelo please , this place is a bit to noisy for this tutorial
[01:22] <kitofhawaii> Animortis: it involves getting it directly from adobe (works good...can confirm that's a viable option, though it won't be managed, so keep an eye on the repo's)
[01:22] <ztomic> dewdude: not really important. you can reconfigure X and other things. But then again a new install is pretty quick.
[01:23] <kelsin> marl: n/m it's a builtin, shows what I know :)
[01:23] <Animortis> kitofhawaii, I'll take a look. Considering the security vulnerabilities involved, I will probably just use Gnash for a few weeks...
[01:23] <Pelo> afk brb
[01:23] <kitofhawaii> Animortis: also, are you using 64-bit ubunti?
[01:23] <whabo> i recently deleted the folder wine from application ( by mistake) and i removed wine to try and reinstall it and see if it comes back .. no luck .. any help would be appreciated
[01:23] <kitofhawaii> *ubuntu
[01:23] <ztomic> Thats the good thing about Linux as oposed to windows
[01:23] <dewdude> yeah
[01:23] <Animortis> kitofhawaii, No, 32.
[01:23] <dewdude> i just didn't wanna lose my copy of The Aristrocrats
[01:23] <snkmad> theres a dir where all the Menu entries are saved?
[01:23] <kitofhawaii> Animortis: ok then that workaround'll work for you :)
[01:23] <dewdude> right now i need to figure out of i put the wrong drive, cuz it's only detecting 40 gigs
[01:24] <ztomic> I dunno what that is.
[01:24] <kitofhawaii> Animortis: oh ok yah use whatever works :-D
[01:24] <TeslaDave> dewdude: u can ssh into ur machine pull what u want out of it then reinstall
[01:24] <Animortis> kitofhawaii, Thanks
[01:24] <dewdude> Tesla: i have physical console access to it
[01:24] <Ildjarn> Is there a way to queue files in rtorrent, i.e., download one torrent at a time automatically, instead of download them all at the same time?
[01:24] <dewdude> i'm just not sure of the best way to move everything over console
[01:25] <dewdude> i figured maybe someone in here knew a shortcut
[01:25] <temujin> where can i get the mkv(h264) codecs for mplayer?
[01:25] <ztomic> dewdude: if you need a graphical environment, boot a livecd.
[01:26] <dewdude> i don't have wifi on liveCD
[01:26] <ztomic> dewdude: then reconfigure X
[01:27] <TeslaDave> dewdude are you just trying to copy a directory
[01:27] <ztomic> dewdude: I must not understand something about what youre trying to do.
[01:27] <sceo> I'm trying to export an NTFS usb-drive with NFS.  It's not supported, but I read that it can work with FUSE (http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#nfs); can anyone help?
[01:28] <dewdude> specifically, i only want like, one or two files.
[01:29] <dewdude> i'm just gonna FTP them to my desktop
[01:30] <xsystemx> Anyone here deal with RAID on regular basis?
[01:30] <Darius08x> I just reformated my HDD to fat32 like pelo suggested. But it still says I'm using 149 MiB..how is that?
[01:30] <UbuntMe> Hey guys, i have a problem downloading this http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository?t=anon
[01:30] <kitofhawaii> xsystemx: software or hardware?
[01:30] <xsystemx> kitofhawaii - software
[01:30] <GOdFAThe1> Can someone help me install VLC?
[01:30] <Pelo> Darius08x, how big is the hdd ?
[01:30] <DIL> 0 1 or 5
[01:30] <xsystemx> 0
[01:30] <Darius08x> Pelo: 300GB with 297 unused
[01:31] <DIL> ok
[01:31] <kitofhawaii> xsystemx: ah...i don't use that...just hardware, sorry
[01:31] <Pelo> Darius08x, did you apply the command ?
[01:31] <wols_> Darius08x: that's normal
[01:31] <Darius08x> Pelo: yes
[01:31] <dewdude> Darius: formatting a hard drive takes space...you never get the full advertised amount.
[01:31] <DIL> did oiu lose a drie\ve
[01:31] <xsystemx> kito - how can I confirm certain module is loaded in memory?
[01:31] <Pelo> Darius08x, wols will hlep you on this, I busy else wehre atm
[01:31] <wols_> xsystemx: lsmod
[01:32] <Darius08x> Ah, okey dokey you two. Thanks.
[01:32] <choudesh> anyone run the icedtea-java7-plugin?
[01:32] <ztomic> dewdude: samba? ftpd? sshftp?
[01:32] <wols_> Darius08x: 300GB = 300 billion bytes  in harddisks, which is not300 GiB
[01:32] <wols_> also the meta data like the FATs and root directoriey need some room too
[01:32] <GOdFAThe1> Anyone have familiarity with installing VLC? Also wouldnt mind helping a Linux newb?
[01:32] <dewdude> i'm jsut gonna do the FTPD thing...
[01:33] <slic1> hello can ne1 tell me why when installing ubuntu, it hangs at 66%?
[01:33] <Darius08x> wols_:  I don't quite understand that really. But thanks. xD
[01:33] <wols_> !anyone | GOdFAThe1
[01:33] <ubotu> GOdFAThe1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:33] <DEAthKA> apt-get install VLC
[01:33] <DEAthKA> but first
[01:33] <DEAthKA> google medibuntu
[01:33] <GOdFAThe1> I get dependency issues
[01:33] <ztomic> dewdude: why cant you just copy the files to a usb drive or floppy. that would be a lot less trouble.
[01:33] <DEAthKA> add 2 lines with repository
[01:33] <dewdude> well...
[01:33] <kitofhawaii> dewdude: that's definitely a viable way of getting it over..your desktop a windows box? you could just share out a folder
[01:33] <DEAthKA> got it?
[01:33] <dewdude> floppy is out of the question...a floppy can't hold that much
[01:33] <wols_> Bored1ed: for a harddisk maker 300GB is 300x1000x1000x1000 bytes. for linux it is 300x1024x1024x1024
[01:33] <GOdFAThe1> add 2 lines with repository?
[01:34] <dewdude> i don't have a GUI..i can't get wifi working with liveCD...i don't know how to share folders with samba through command
[01:34] <slic1> why does ubuntu fiesty fawn 7.06 hang at 66% installing?
[01:34] <DEAthKA> u will find there what u need
[01:34] <DEAthKA> just google...medibuntu
[01:34] <dewdude> i also don't ahve any USB sticks.
[01:34] <GOdFAThe1> ok
[01:34] <GOdFAThe1> thanks
[01:34] <kitofhawaii> slic1: did you check your cd for consistency?
[01:34] <DEAthKA> np
[01:34] <GOdFAThe1> ill be back if I have any issues
[01:34] <slic1> kito: no how do i do that?
[01:34] <UbuntMe> I try to download this  http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository?t=anon but when i put in the respositories or whatever, and then put in the command, this comes up
[01:34] <UbuntMe> gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
[01:34] <UbuntMe> luke@luke-laptop:~$
[01:35] <Pelo> g'night folks
[01:35] <kitofhawaii> slic1: when you boot up the cd it should give you the option (one of the first screens that comes up)
[01:35] <slic1> ok ill try it, will it take long?
[01:35] <DIL> slic1, how long is the hang so far
[01:35] <kitofhawaii> slic1: burning os disks, i generally recommend going half or slower the rated speed of your cd burner
[01:35] <kitofhawaii> slic1: depends on your system, 5 minutes to 20
[01:36] <slic1> well at 66% it wont let me doing anything else
[01:36] <slic1> ok
[01:36] <slic1> brb
[01:36] <ztomic> dewdude: sshftp would be easiest
[01:36] <mttr> I have a problem with my applications menu not activating the applications.. can someone help me
[01:36] <UbuntMe> will someone help with my question plzz
[01:36] <fsckr> ok dumb question.  what do i do if I am not running compiz and I have no borders :_
[01:36] <kelsin> fsckr: you can try running "metacity --replace" to get metacity back running
[01:36] <fsckr> thx kelsin lemme try that
[01:36] <CaptainMorgan> I'm trying to check a log for which users logged in and did what... which log should I look for ?
[01:37] <mttr> i think i've lost my permissions.. or i messed up with chown
[01:37] <akorn> Anybody know how i can completely remove Crossover Office? i installed it but now i dont want it anymore since Wine seems to work better
[01:37] <fsckr> kelsin that worked ty....now to figure out what happened LOL
[01:37] <mttr> akorn.. just delete the .crossover folder
[01:37] <wols_> CaptainMorgan: users are not logged what they do
[01:37] <CaptainMorgan> wols_, what about logged in/out times ?
[01:37] <wols_> akorn: depends how you installed it
[01:38] <kitche> akorn: easy use a package managment software to remove it unless you used their .run file
[01:38] <wols_> CaptainMorgan: auth.log perhaps
[01:38] <juano__> akorn: you have to run /opt/..../cxoffice/cxremove
[01:38] <juano__> akorn: or something like that... with sudo
[01:38] <akorn> wols_ i used the .deb file to install it, any idea? i can't find any folders and if i use locate crossover i find nothing, bu tit's there becuase i used it to install a program!
[01:38] <heguru> CaptainMorgan: you can use last command for last logged in users
[01:38] <kelsin> CaptainMorgan: the last command will help "last"
[01:39] <akorn> mttr should tha tbe under /home/username ? because i dont see it there (and yea, i have show hidden files checked)
[01:39] <GOdFAThe1> Do you need to add repositories for VLC in the souces.list to install it without dependency issues?

[01:41] <juano__> akorn: go to applications , crossover, uninstall, after that it will show you a message with a dir, and you should run what it shows you with sudo , then it will be completely removed
[01:41] <akorn> kitche you're right, synaptic did find it...thanks a lot :)
[01:41] <akorn> juano_ it doesnt show under applications...maybe i have to add th folder to my menu snce it might not have automatically done that...but it seems that synaptic is actually uninstalling it
[01:41] <kitofhawaii> GOdFAThe1: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html explains the repos you need
[01:42] <GOdFAThe1> scguy318:  can I post them in here?

[01:46] <mttr> kitofhawaii  any more thoughts.. on application problem ?

[01:47] <mayeco> in wiki.ubuntu.com I want to create a navigation only with 1 depth
[01:47] <kitche> proqesi: you need to setup a 32bit chroot most likely
[01:47] <mayeco> who to do that?
[01:47] <GOdFAThe1> kitofhawaii: I also get similar issues when trying to install it from the package manager

[01:48] <kelsin> maverick_: do you have the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly package installed?
[01:48] <mttr> if i use gksu nautilus it works in with sudo but not from my menu
[01:48] <maverick_> kelsin: nope
[01:49] <maverick_> kelsin: installing now
[01:49] <kelsin> maverick_: there you go, I think listen uses gstreamer so hopefully that solves it
[01:49] <kitofhawaii> mttr: in terminal go to your directory "sudo chown -R <owner>" to touch all files under your homedir...try that
[01:49] <mttr> ok will try thanks
[01:49] <maverick_> kelsin: Thank you so much
[01:50] <GOdFAThe1> scguy318;  kitofhawaii ?? You still with me here?

[01:52] <Torrential> Hey, I've got a little fstab/mounting question.
[01:52] <Torrential> I'm running the latest Ubuntu, and I edited my fstab file so it'd automatically mount my second harddrive at boot.
[01:52] <maverick_> kelsin: yeah u're right , but what made u think of this package in specific ?!!
[01:52] <Torrential> However, it mounts this as read-only, I want all users to be able to change the files on the drive.
[01:52] <GOdFAThe1> kitofhawaii: I cant even install automatix!! ARGGG
[01:52] <Flannel> GOdFAThe1: that's a good thing.  You don't want Automatix.
[01:52] <dark_ninja> torrential, what's the fs type?
[01:53] <GOdFAThe1> lol
[01:53] <Torrential> vfat

[01:53] <kitofhawaii> Flannel: hey now i had no problem with it ;)
[01:53] <GOdFAThe1> well can someone tell me why I am having dependency issues with VLC install?? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47178/
[01:53] <maverick_> kelsin: it was among other packages, anyways thanks...i should look more into details next time
[01:53] <juano__> Torrential: check if rw is in the options
[01:53] <dark_ninja> torrential, this addresses your problem http://www.userlocal.com/tips/fatmounting.php
[01:53] <Torrential> juano_: It is.
[01:54] <Torrential> dark_ninja: I'll go take a look
[01:55] <TigranG> What version of OSS does Ubuntu 7.10 come with and is the newest one OSS 4?
[01:55] <kitche> TigranG: umm last tiem I knew it just uses Alsa
[01:56] <kitofhawaii> Torrential: if it's ntfs, get package ntfs-config
[01:56] <TigranG> kitche: Is OSS better than ALSA?
[01:56] <kitche> TigranG: Alsa replaced OSS but with OSS being open source now OSS might get better
[01:56] <wols_> TigranG: no
[01:56] <Torrential> kitofhawaii: It's not, it's a FAT32. I'm trying out the article dark_ninja gave me and it appears to address the exact problem I have. Thanks!

[02:05] <syndr0> why does youtube crash my ubuntu?
[02:05] <pg> How can I make the console font smaller?
[02:05] <pg> syndr0: it may be because of the flash plugin.
[02:05] <PriceChild> syndr0, ask adobe
[02:05] <kitche> syndr0: probably crashes firefox or your browser not ubuntu
[02:05] <TigranG> kitche: Ok. Thanks, just gonna stay with ALSA

[02:06] <dickfacemanx> how?

[02:09] <Mortuis> How do you tell how big a folder is on the command line?
[02:09] <MikeyMike> can anyone tell me how i can get gutsy on a usb drive without having to burn the iso to a cd and using windows if possible?
[02:09] <syndr0> pg, you here?
[02:09] <slic1> any1 help me with virutualization software?
[02:09] <MikeyMike> if it has to be done in linux i'l do it but i'm not able to burn cd's and i am only doing this to use it as a live cd
[02:10] <pg> syndr0: I think it's under Preferences -> Content -> File Types -> Manage
[02:10] <MikeyMike> i am not installing gutsy using the flash drive
[02:10] <mzar> hi...anyone knows how to solve this problem > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=631733
[02:10] <syndr0> no content under preferences
[02:11] <kelsin> MikeyMike: did you follow the directions on the installing page I linked you? It doesn't require burning the cd
[02:11] <dickfacemanx> that crap don't even make any freaking seince.
[02:11] <ronnies07> Direct rendering doesnt wish to work under xubuntu, but it works fine under ubuntu
[02:11] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  something i read  on that page made me turn away from it  i will re-read it again
[02:11] <IndyGunFreak> mzar: do you have all the repository options checked?
[02:11] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  i think  the reason was because i  want to do this in windows
[02:12] <pg> syndr0: you may be using the free flash player, or the one from Adobe

[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> ronnies07: id on't think you can do it w/ any intel chipset, some say ATI drivers work for it, bu tnot sure, there's no linux drivers for intel.
[02:12] <MikeyMike> thanks
[02:12] <mzar> IndyGunFreak: do u mean in synaptic manager?
[02:12] <MikeyMike> first one right?
[02:12] <geektern> anyone know anything about rebuilding initrd
[02:12] <TeslaDave>  I have a program that doesn't start fully because when it starts  it tries to update and write files i believe, and thus since SU doesn't really exist in ubuntu, it can't update and thus can't start, is their a special directory where i can install it so that i don't have to worry about sudo or su
[02:13] <kelsin> MikeyMike: yes, then the link for installing without cd, then installing from usbstick
[02:13] <syndr0> pg, go private with me please?
[02:13] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  i am only using this as a live cd and not to actually install the distribution are there things i can skip?
[02:13] <kelsin> TeslaDave: if the program is running as you it can write to your home directory fine
[02:13] <kelsin> MikeyMike: the steps are copy the live cd to usb, then make it bootable, what did you want to skip?
[02:13] <IndyGunFreak> mzar: yes, System/Admin/Synaptic, then the Settings Menu/repositories, and make sure all the items on the first tab are checked, then close, and click reload
[02:14] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  oh i seem to remember having to fake a cd-rom and all sorts of other stuff
[02:14] <denardo> Hi, all. I'm getting the dreaded "audio device unavailable" error in GUtsy when trying to play audio in amarok after I'm played audio in firefox. I've tried several suggested fixes from online without success. Any clues?
[02:14] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  i'll do some extensive reading now
[02:14] <TeslaDave> kelsin, so if i was to install in /home i would not have to be in root or sudo
[02:15] <kelsin> TeslaDave: if you installed in your home directory which is /home/<username>
[02:15] <kelsin> TeslaDave: what are you trying to install?
[02:15] <pg> syndr0: hang on a sec...
[02:15] <syndr0> pg, hangs on like a cliff hanger
[02:16] <slic1> uhhhh why do i get an error throught synaptic after checking repositories? the error is Bus error (core dumped)
[02:16] <mzar> IndyGunFreak: i cannot open..it show this error > http://img353.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotsynapticor0.png
[02:16] <slic1> do i edit sources.list and then try again?
[02:16] <TeslaDave> kelsin Think or Swim, i previously just installed in in a random directory just to see if it would run, so i assume i have to put in in home directory
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> mzar: looks like something is wrong with your source list.
[02:17] <slic1> imma try it brb
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> mzar: have yo made any recent changes to your source list?
[02:17] <mzar> IndyGunFreak: i dont know how to fix it
[02:17] <mzar> IndyGunFreak: i change the server form main to US
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> mzar: well, there's a couple ways, but first..., have you made any recent changes to your source list(ie, added or removed a repository)
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> mzar: ok..
[02:18] <frost0> i can't remove the partition i made for vmware?!!? any ideas?
[02:18] <kelsin> TeslaDave: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=614996 read that, sounds like some users installed it fine
[02:18] <musikgoat> question, if I wanted an application to start about 30 sec after boot, I could add a command in sessions like sleep 10s; somecommand  right?
[02:18] <ronnies07> so any reason why the i810 driver will direct render in GNOME but not Xfce?
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> mzar: well, you can either use source-omatic, and create a new source list, or if you want, i'll pastebin my source list for you, your choice.
[02:18] <musikgoat> sorry *30s
[02:18] <kelsin> TeslaDave: not any home directory, YOUR home directory, that's where your user has write access, the user in that forum installed it into a hidden folder in his home directory, sounds like a good plan
[02:18] <mzar> IndyGunFreak: i take 2nd choice
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> mzar: ok, hang on a sec.
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> mzar: you are using gutsy, right?
[02:19] <TeslaDave> kelsin, right install in the home directory, thanks
[02:19] <mzar> IndyGunFreak: i'm using feisty
[02:19] <kelsin> TeslaDave: read that forum post link, one user lists the steps he did to install successfully
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> mzar: ..ah, i see.. well, can't help you then, i'm using gutsy.
[02:19] <frost0> IndyGunFreak, how do i delete a vmware partition?
[02:20] <mzar> IndyGunFreak: ok
[02:20] <mzar> IndyGunFreak: i try 1st..
[02:20] <IndyGunFreak> !source | mzar
[02:20] <ubotu> mzar: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[02:20] <ronnies07> so any reason why the i810 driver will direct render in GNOME but not Xfce?
[02:20] <IndyGunFreak> mzar: thats not right, hang on
[02:20] <pg> synd0: what does your Preferences say about shockwave flash?
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> !sourceomatic | mzar this is the one you want
[02:21] <ubotu> mzar this is the one you want: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[02:21] <slic1> yup editing sources.list fixed that
[02:21] <kitche> ronnies07: it should direct render in Xfce also sicne X handles that not the environment
[02:21] <mzar> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> np
[02:21] <ronnies07> kitche, Ubuntu direct renders but Xubuntu does not
[02:22] <lucian> whats up
[02:22] <ronnies07> some package xubuntu lacks?
[02:22] <kelsin> ronnies07: is this a new xubuntu install, or just you install xubuntu-desktop on your ubuntu install?
[02:22] <ronnies07> this be new install
[02:22] <kelsin> ronnies07: do you have access to the old install?
[02:22] <ronnies07> no
[02:22] <Ozric_Tentacles> holaa
[02:23] <pg> syndr0: you can install the adobe plugin by typing "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree", then I think you run the installer.  I'm not sure why, but on my sytem this is not installed, yet flash works fine.
[02:23] <mrAshley> musikgoat: I couldn't get that to work, so I wrote a little tiny script that does it for me. I want aMSN to start up with my machine, but not until the tray loads or I don't get the icon for aMSN. So just a little bash script will do the trick I think.
[02:23] <kelsin> ronnies07: what video card?
[02:23] <ronnies07> intel 845
[02:23] <Ozric_Tentacles> alguien quiere venir a #panas a charlar???
[02:23] <Ozric_Tentacles> estamos aburridos
[02:23] <pg> How can I make the console font smaller?
[02:23] <musikgoat> mrAshley: thanks for the heads up, i'll do that instead
[02:23] <musikgoat> i was just getting ready to try :-)
[02:23] <kitche> ronnies07: it's the same base install just that XFCE is used isntead
[02:23] <ronnies07> odd
[02:25] <mrAshley> Has anyone gotten the svideo out for an i810 on an HP dv1000 series to work? (or any combination thereof)
[02:25] <MikeyMike> can anyone tell me what version of ntfsresize comes with gutsy ?
[02:25] <pg> Various web pages list different things, and I don't know what works: /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh, /etc/default/console-setup, setupcon, grub option "vga=1", etc
[02:26] <MikeyMike> can anyone tell me what version of ntfsresize comes with gutsy in the live portion of the cd install. sorry i forgot that last part
[02:26] <pg> MikeyMike: search the web for "gutsy packages" and you will find a page including ntfsresize
[02:26] <MikeyMike> pg,  okay
[02:26] <magic_ninja> for some reason my floppy drive isn't working, i cannot format a brand new floppy (it tells me unable to detect disk geometrics)
[02:26] <MikeyMike> but will that be the same as the live cd's
[02:26] <syndr0> pg, i dont need to restart ubunto just firefox right?
[02:27] <pg> MikeyMike: not sure.
[02:28] <pg> synd0: just firefox
[02:28] <Konda> soeajubg if floppy
[02:28] <pg> How can I make the console font smaller?
[02:28] <denardo> I'm getting the dreaded "audio device unavailable" error in GUtsy when trying to play audio in amarok after I'm played audio in firefox. I've tried several suggested fixes from online without success. Any clues?
[02:29] <MikeyMike> can't anyone tell me how to find out what version of gparted and ntfsresize/ntfstools comes with the live portion of the gutsy install iso
[02:29] <Konda> for a system that can't boot to USB, is there anyway to boot from floppy, have it pick up the USB drivers on a system, and boot the Ubuntu liveCD from a USB attached CD-ROM?
[02:29] <kitche> denardo: don't use OSS use Alsa instead close firefox down and open amarok and your sound should play
[02:29] <FunnyLookinHat> denardo, try changing your audio output device to OSS from ALSA in amarok
[02:29] <mediahunter> hello everyone
[02:29] <slic1> do sudo gparted --version
[02:29] <slic1> try that
[02:29] <MikeyMike> slic1,  i'm not in gutsy
[02:29] <IndyGunFreak> denardo: so sound works in Flash videos?
[02:29] <scguy318> slic1: don't really need sudo but that might do
[02:29] <MikeyMike> i donwloaded it
[02:29] <syndr0> pg, flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version.
[02:29] <slic1> so
[02:30] <mediahunter> i know this is not the right room but i am hoping the kindnest of the ubuntu community will be willing to help me
[02:30] <slic1> it should still show it
[02:30] <mediahunter> I am trying to install dreamlinux but i can not fig out the partion part

[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> mediahunter: why are you here asking about DreamLinux... i've installed it before, it should be pretty straight forward.
[02:31] <slic1> what u need help with?
[02:31] <mediahunter> indyGun it is all but the partions
[02:31] <mediahunter> it does not tell me how to partions the hard drive
[02:31] <cvd> Hey There, any cobol compiler for linux?
[02:31] <mediahunter> as in sizes and all that
[02:31] <slic1> o
[02:31] <slic1> idk
[02:31] <slic1> well do u have windows
[02:31] <slic1> ?
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> mediahunter: maybe you should look for partitions... i doubt partions would help you.
[02:32] <pg> syndr0: does it give problems only in YouTube or also other web sites with flash?
[02:32] <slic1> do u want windows and linux or just linux?
[02:32] <mttr> kitofhawaii  will this reset my applications permission  sudo chown main -R /home
[02:32] <denardo> -Fun OK, trying that
[02:32] <syndr0> pg, other sites too
[02:32] <mediahunter> just linux
[02:32] <slic1> ok

[02:33] <syndr0> yeah
[02:33] <kitche> kanuha: restart is the only way really

[02:36] <YO> so anyone know of a good IRC proxy?
[02:36] <YO> for gutsy
[02:36] <MikeyMike> Make sure that "syslinux" and "mtools" is installed. If they are not, install them. SYSLINUX is available for both Linux and Windows. For more information check the SYSLINUX homepage: [WWW] http://www.syslinux.org/
[02:36] <kanuha> kitche, is there no way besides restarting to end those processes?

[02:36] <Mannequin> hi. I have installed some documentation (like Diveintopython) using Synaptic. Which is the "correct" way to use it? I mean, is there any way to list/access the documentation I have installed?
[02:37] <gbw> what do you call that program which looks like fisheye mac?
[02:37] <kitche> kanuha: you could do a killall but they usually just spawn back but you can try it
[02:37] <robdig> cvd: yes, it converts to C
[02:37] <YO> or an IRC bouncer
[02:37] <kanuha> kitche, thx

[02:38] <munk_> magic_ninja, thanks a lot
[02:38] <broken> wols how is it you know I'm shouting?
[02:38] <broken> Just out of curiousity.
[02:38] <YO> CAPS :)
[02:38] <wols> all caps = shouting on irc
[02:38] <kelsin> MikeyMike: what bug in NTFS doesn't let the gparted livecd work for you?
[02:39] <BigDaddy> broken: you used all caps
[02:39] <wols> broken: and asking/demanding help is the best way NOT to get it

[02:39] <ubotu> yo: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:39] <cvd> any firefox pluging to download complete webpages, so  acan navigate offline?
[02:39] <gbw> hello, is there any other package which looks like cairo-dock?
[02:40] <kelsin> cvd: don't know about a firefox plugin, but wget can recursively download full sites
[02:41] <YO> ok so I will ask again ubotu :) I am looking to install a proxy on my gutsy box to allow me to connect to irc from blocked locations
[02:41] <kitche> YO: irssi
[02:41] <TSWoodV> Need advise as to how to make usbserial work with pl2303 and ftdi_sio modules simultaneously under 2.6.15 kernel.
[02:41] <wols> YO: use irssi
[02:41] <YO> hmm ok i will look into that ... thanks
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> gbw: you can install gdesklets
[02:41] <kitche> YO: it's a client but has a proxy feature
[02:41] <kelsin> YO: depending on the situation you can also just use a ssh forward
[02:41] <pg> kazol: it may be that your hardware is not supported.  Have you searched the web for your computer model and "stand by" or "hybernate"?
[02:41] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  ok i had the gparted live usb and i tried to resize my 332 gig windows partition using it. I was using half of that 332 gigs for windows and the other half was empty. I wanted to resize it to have half unallocated... so 160 gigs or so for windows (maybe 3 gigs free just in case i have to run windows again) and the other i was going to reinstall another version of windows on with a new motherboard and cpu and video card that i got. when i resized th
[02:41] <MikeyMike> e partition to half roughly it gave me this error, ERROR: Extended record needed (1048 > 1024), not yet supported! Please try to free less space.
[02:42] <gbw> IndyGunFreak, is there any particular reason i should not install cairo-dock?
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> gbw: you cna do whatever you like you asked for an alternative to cairo-dock
[02:42] <kazol> pg: Not yet, I forgot about it.
[02:42] <scguy318> MikeyMike: silly suggestion, but have you defragged? :P
[02:42] <pg> How can I make my console font smaller?
[02:42] <MikeyMike> scguy318,  i'm pretty sure it's not fragmented but i can check again
[02:42] <gbw> IndyGunFreak, actually i am asking which package is more stable and friendly to use
[02:42] <kelsin> MikeyMike: do you need to resize to half? Maybe resizing to like 50 gigs free if enough to move your files, then do your deletion / growing thing?
[02:43] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  well... 50 gigs isnt enough.... how can i find out the limit?
[02:43] <IndyGunFreak> gbw: well that wasn't the question you posed that i responded to, regardless, gdesklets is generally stable for me, but thats all ic an tell you.
[02:43] <MikeyMike> scguy318,  i just analyzed my partition and it says i do not need to defrag
[02:43] <kelsin> MikeyMike: don't know, but it might not error on a smaller amount
[02:43] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  right
[02:43] <kelsin> MikeyMike: are you running vista? If so does the resize tool in vista not get the partition small enough?
[02:44] <S_t_n_K> Hola
[02:44] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  windows xp
[02:44] <MikeyMike> professional
[02:44] <eyemean> hi does anyone kow how i can make thunar the default file manager on gutsy pls?
[02:44] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  you can resize the partition in vista? wow... i'm impressed lol
[02:44] <MikeyMike> but no i'm using xp pro
[02:44] <kelsin> MikeyMike: well you can resize them completely stupidly, afaik it doesn't ever move data, but if you aren't technically using the end of the disk (by chance) it can shrink it
[02:45] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  right.... i'm using the front half of the 332 gig partition.... i was going to resize to give my current windows barely any free space. then install my new hardware and install into the new partition. copy stuff from the old partition... then erase the old stuff and have my full 332 gigs again :)
[02:46] <BigDaddy> I just double checked, I have switched between alsa and OSS and I am having a problem on audio transitions. Anyone knowledgeable with audio problems?
[02:46] <lucieniu1> hi guys, my soundcard loops system sounds endlessly. other sounds, like those generated by pidgin/media players/etc are ok though.
[02:46] <scguy318> BigDaddy: there is no OSS, it's just an ALSA compatibility layer
[02:46] <abadtooth> How to I mount a windows hard drive that won't boot in the terminal?
[02:46] <kelsin> MikeyMike: I know you've said that three times now, I would honestly run out to best buy and buy a hard drive to copy the media on, safer, esp if you're having issues with the gparted cd
[02:46] <MikeyMike> kelsin,  lol i've considered it.....
[02:46] <scguy318> kelsin: not Best Buy :( :P
[02:46] <BigDaddy> scguy318: Oh, then should I have everything on ALSA or autodetect?
[02:46] <wols> MikeyMike: unecessary. rename program files, documents and settings and \windows to something else. then reinstall windows
[02:46] <Vad1> How can I get shockwave in Ubuntu? I need it for this website: http://www.sabayonlinux.org/
[02:46] <scguy318> BigDaddy: yeah basically
[02:46] <Vad1> ack
[02:46] <wols> tho it#s kinda offtopic
[02:47] <kelsin> scguy318: on then you'r convient neighborhood usb hard drive seller :)
[02:47] <Vad1> this websiteL http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml
[02:47] <MikeyMike> wols,  really?
[02:47] <MikeyMike> omg
[02:47] <MikeyMike> hahaha
[02:47] <robrrr> from the terminal, how can i adduser without being asked for first name, last name etc
[02:47] <scguy318> Vad1: if you're on 64-bit Ubuntu you probably need to do 32-bit compat libs
[02:47] <kelsin> robrrr: "useradd" "man useradd" for more info
[02:47] <MikeyMike> wait.... wols won't the new install of windows write completely over.......
[02:47] <Vad1> scguy318: I'm on 32, but I have a friend who's on 64 too. But I don't know how to get it _at all_
[02:47] <abadtooth> anyone know how to mount a hard drive that in the terminal?
[02:48] <wols> MikeyMike: just don't format the partition
[02:48] <MikeyMike> wols, it forces you to doesn't it? (windows xp professional)
[02:48] <kelsin> abadtooth: if you know what device it is in linux it's just "sudo mount /dev/<hard drive device> /path/to/a/mount/point"
[02:48] <MikeyMike> mind telling me more about this if you have experience?
[02:48] <magic_ninja> my floppy is being detected but i'm unable to use it >.<
[02:48] <scguy318> Vad1: oh, I take it back, there is no Linux support at all for Shockwave
[02:48] <MikeyMike> mind telling me more in /msg or query i meant
[02:48] <scguy318> Vad1: but see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[02:48] <Vad1> scguy318: at all?
[02:49] <scguy318> Vad1: pretty close to that, but that link suggests a way
[02:49] <wols> MikeyMike: it doesn't force you at all
[02:49] <robrrr> kelsin: i had a read but it wasn't obvious which switch i should use, --quiet?
[02:49] <wols> and yes I do mind
[02:49] <Vad1> scguy318: i'll give it a try, ok
[02:49] <scguy318> Vad1: basically Firefox on Wine :S :P
[02:49] <mttr> help my usr/applications  will not start any more.. the permissions seems ok.. can only get them to work when i sudo them in terminal
[02:49] <MikeyMike> wols,  oh okay... is there anywhere i can get more info on this?
[02:49] <MikeyMike> so i can stop bugging you lol
[02:49] <denardo> Fun I'm back... I had had a second (PCMCIA) audio device connected, so I logged out, disconnected it, and logged in again, just in case that was the problem, but it didn't affect things. With Amarok at Autodetect, it still zooms silently through the playlist then gives the "device unavailable" error.
[02:49] <MikeyMike> wols,  i'm not exactly sure what to search for to find more info about this
[02:50] <BigDaddy> scguy318: could the fact that I have Amarok installed be causing the popping sounds? Maybe xine conflicting with gstreamer or something?
[02:50] <kelsin> robrrr: I'm confused, if you've read the useradd man page you'd see that there isn't a --quiet flag
[02:50] <abadtooth> kelsin:  lemme try that
[02:50] <scguy318> BigDaddy: perhaps, but prob not
[02:50] <kelsin> robrrr: I don't think useradd normally asks questions
[02:50] <robrrr> ok i'll try again thanks
[02:50] <abadtooth> kelsin:  the hard drive has windows on it and that is shot up and wont boot..
[02:51] <BigDaddy> scguy318: This just started (that I noticed) last night while I was trying to get DVD ripping and music playback. Never got the DVD ripped but I got Amarok working fine
[02:51] <robrrr> kelsin: you're right i must have used a different command before, thanks for the help
[02:51] <scguy318> BigDaddy: mm, unfortunately I don't know too much :(
[02:52] <wols> MikeyMike: I don't know. there is not much to it. I told you all you need to do it
[02:52] <MikeyMike> rename program files, windows, documents and settings. that's it?
[02:52] <skar> is vmware player available in some repo?

[02:54] <Darius08x> Quick question. I've got to partitions One ntsf, and one ext3. the NTSF one already has windows on it. In ubuntu desktop7.10 if I choose "guided- use entire disk   will it overwrite windows, or automatically go on the blank ext3

[02:56] <kelsin> WorkingOnWis1: If I need full remote desktop I normally just user rdesktop and use the windows terminal server stuff (As long as it's not XP home which doesn't have it)
[02:56] <ssam> hard disk not showing
[02:56] <ssam> it was but now its not
[02:57] <kelsin> WorkingOnWis1: but VNC works just as well normally, just like not installing anything special on the windows box

[02:57] <ssam> both the partitions are gone
[02:57] <WorkingOnWis1> kelsin: grrr....it Is xp home...now what?

[02:57] <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 .  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 th
[02:57] <desertc> e Linux Kernel?
[02:57] <musikgoat> ssam: its probly not mounted
[02:57] <routerl> robdig: compiz and xorg are peaking my cpu usage when I move/scale windows
[02:57] <lucieniu1> Hi guys. I need help. How do I determine what my laptop's soundcard is. It uses an ATI RC410ME Chipset
[02:58] <eyemean> the more advice and messing about with linux the more i love this baby, hahaha
[02:58] <routerl> robdig: I've been surfing forums for days trying to figure it out
[02:58] <ssam> it was mounted
[02:58] <friendlys> is there a way to go through all your folders recursively and delete all folders that are named "CVS" ?
[02:58] <musikgoat> ssam: you can type "cat /proc/partitions" to get what disk partitions are detected by hardware
[02:58] <ssam> i cant see partition manager
[02:58] <eyemean> jack_sparrow thanx for the thunar advice, very nice app and faster than before now, hahaha
[02:58] <musikgoat> ssam: you may have to install it in add/remove
[02:59] <lucieniu1> I'm asking because system sounds played by my system loop/repeat endlessly and won't stop until the laptop is restarted
[02:59] <ssam> okay i see a bunch of numbers
[02:59] <WorkingOnWis1> kelsin: ty for the quick hlp
[02:59] <desertc> friendlys: yes, use the find command
[02:59] <musikgoat> what is before the #   /dev/what?
[02:59] <robdig> routerl: hmm...i don't use effects, but x always takes a bit of cpu...
[02:59] <friendlys> care to explain? more?
[03:00] <musikgoat> sda, hdb?
[03:00] <routerl> robdig: on a 2.4 GHz Core2 Duo, its using an entire core...
[03:00] <routerl> robdig: literally 100% of one core.
[03:00] <desertc> friendlys: I would have to google the syntax
[03:00] <mttr> friendlys try something like this find . -depth -type d -name _notes -o -name _vti_cnf | xargs rm -rf
[03:00] <musikgoat> ssam: you can type mount to get what is currently mounted...  if the 2 partitions are not showing in mount,  then mount them
[03:00] <mttr> found it on ubuntu site
[03:01] <routerl> robdig: sometimes it'll use a bit of both, but it always adds up to 100% (e.g. 30 + 70, etc)
[03:01] <ssam> i dont noe how to mount
[03:01] <ssam> can u help me with it
[03:01] <desertc> mttr: I was worried you had that memorized
[03:01] <robdig> routerl: sorry, but i don't know the cause...maybe someone else on here does...
[03:01] <mttr> lol
[03:01] <mttr> now if i could solve my problem haha
[03:01] <musikgoat> ssam: yes...  type sudo mount /dev/whatever_partition  /media/mountname
[03:01] <musikgoat> ssam: you have to sudo mkdir /media/mountname first

[03:02] <ssam> sorry i did
[03:02] <routerl> Someone please help. On a 2.4 Ghz dual core, Geforce 8600 GT, Xorg and compiz peak my CPU usage when I move/scale windows.
[03:02] <mttr> in folder /usr/bin
[03:02] <ssam> musikgoat: can i pm u what i see
[03:02] <routerl> I am considering going back to windows because this is so frustrating...
[03:02] <musikgoat> ssam did you see my instructions?
[03:02] <desertc> mttr: do they work  from the command line?
[03:02] <musikgoat> ssam sure
[03:02] <mttr> if i use the sudo in termial they work
[03:03] <desertc> why sudo?
[03:03] <desertc> what commands?
[03:03] <mttr> any one of them.. i.e the network folder
[03:03] <desertc> !effects > routerl
[03:04] <desertc> mttr: what is the network folder ?
[03:04] <mttr> synaptic package manager etc
[03:04] <mttr> almost all the applications from the panel time out
[03:04] <tomd123> is there a program that will let me download exactly half of a file?
[03:04] <desertc> Nautalius ?
[03:04] <ssam> wat do i do music
[03:04] <kelsin> tomd123: for what reason?
[03:04] <mttr> works if i use sudo nautalius in terminal
[03:05] <routerl> desertc: Thanks for that, but my video card is not on that list, and I am using the restricted drivers
[03:05] <tomd123> kelsin: I wanted to experiment with something
[03:05] <tomd123> kelsin: for educational/brilliant idea purposes
[03:05] <musikgoat> ssam: type sudo mount /dev/whatever_partition  /media/mountname    you have to sudo mkdir /media/mountname first
[03:05] <desertc> mttr: what happens when you type: nautalus ?

[03:06] <shadowblade> Hey all, quick question (I think)....is there a way to make each terminal line just show the $, and not the full myusername@mycomputer ?
[03:06] <sidcypher> has anyone had any luck getting a Sierra Wireless 875 card working on gutsy?
[03:06] <mttr> works in terminal
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> desertc: nautilus
[03:06] <archangel7863> what is the package name for db4-devel
[03:06] <kelsin> tomd123: probably can ctrl-c out of wget half way through, I don't know for sure though
[03:06] <mttr> all works in thermianl
[03:06] <AxlLeigh> Anybody know why ubuntu 7 wouldn't work with a random wireless with password?
[03:06] <desertc> mttr: even as non-sudo, right?
[03:06] <ssam> ill be back
[03:06] <AxlLeigh> My household account won't let me connect.
[03:07] <mttr> just a sec
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> AxlLeigh: encryption  wpa etc?
[03:07] <mttr> no only in sudo
[03:07] <skar> kitche, i can't seem to find the vmware-player package anywhere
[03:07] <AxlLeigh> 128-bit encryption passcode, Jack.
[03:07] <desertc> mttr: that's strange
[03:07] <routerl> Moving a window raises my CPU usage to 25%, even with compiz off
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !wpa
[03:07] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:07] <desertc> mttr: what is the error?
[03:07] <mttr> try this gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic the command from the application applet.. it works in terminal
[03:08] <mttr> it just times out
[03:08] <skar> kitche, are there any repositories i should add?
[03:08] <desertc> mttr: type nautilus at the command like/...
[03:08] <desertc> *line
[03:08] <archangel7863> rpm based distros call db4-devel by that name I can't find the correct equivalent for Ubuntu
[03:08] <kitche> skar: the multiverse repo if you dn't have it
[03:08] <routerl> desertc: just moving a window raises my cpu usage to 25% even with compiz off.
[03:08] <denardo> Hmm. System monitor says that nothing in /dev/snd/* is open. Or should I be looking at something else?
[03:08] <skar> kitche, i have it
[03:08] <desertc> routerl: 25% means 75% available!
[03:08] <magic_ninja> my floppy drive is detected but i am unable to mount a floppy disk (the disk light is on, the disk is detected and the floppy is brand new)
[03:09] <mttr> nothing happens
[03:09] <musikgoat> anyone know if rsync -a for archive will overwrite files automatically?
[03:09] <mttr> if not in root
[03:09] <desertc> mttr: What do you mean, "nothing"
[03:09] <michaeld> anyone have any luck booting an existing vista install (physical disk) in vmware in linux?
[03:09] <desertc> mttr: nothing never happens
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> routerl: I dont care if it spikes to 100 ...  Unused cycles are wasted.
[03:09] <kitche> skar: then you should have the package did you update your package manager by chance that you use or refresh
[03:09] <AxlLeigh> It connects on half, but it keeps looking for a network key, and even though I give it the right key, it doesn't connect, just times out.
[03:09] <mttr> this is what shows up
[03:09] <mttr> main@main-desktop:~$ nautilus
[03:09] <mttr> main@main-desktop:~$
[03:09] <tomd123> kelsin: I need it to be automated and perfectly stop at halfway (1/2, 1/3, whatever)
[03:10] <mttr> it like a permission is messed up
[03:10] <routerl> Jack_Sparrow: Sure, but when I'm trying to use them (i.e. write a damn text file or something) everything is too slow to be usable
[03:10] <skar> kitche, yes, i updated using 'apt-get update', but when i try to install vmware-player, it says "package has no installation candidate"
[03:10] <Jack_Sparrow> mttr: have you used sudo to run gui programs?  like gedit etc
[03:10] <desertc> mttr: is there a core dump in your directory?
[03:10] <mttr> try this find . chown -R root:root /usr/bin.. amd main:main and main:root all don't work
[03:10] <Jack_Sparrow> routerl: first off, watch your language in here.. thanks..
[03:10] <desertc> Jack_Sparrow: he says it works when he runs it with sudo
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> desertc: but that does not tell me what I asked
[03:11] <mttr> actually gedit worked
[03:11] <blahblahx> how do i add network-manager-gnome to my panel?
[03:11] <mttr> but not nautilus
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> mttr: have you used sudo to run gui programs?  like gedit etc  instead of gksudo which would protect your permissions
[03:11] <kelsin> tomd123: might be able to play with the download quota for wget, try to fake it out to only download 1/2 of the file that way, have to download two files though for that to work so it will take a sec
[03:12] <shadowblade> Hello, is there a way to make the terminal not show my full username@computer and just the $ and folder path instead?
[03:12] <jgoss> blahblahx,  run nm-applet
[03:12] <desertc> Jack_Sparrow: oooh, I see what you're saying
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[03:12] <routerl> Jack_Sparrow: Pardon me, I think that was a misunderstanding. "Damn" wasn't meant to be hostile, just to express that any program as simple as gedit becomes nearly unusable because my CPU is peaking.
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> routerl: Still NOT appreciated...
[03:12] <mttr> well i don't usual use gksudo.. but that is what the application applet use.. so i tried from terminal to simulate the function
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> MattJ: so you have used sudo to run gui apps...?
[03:13] <routerl> Jack_Sparrow: Than I apologize in the absolute. Still, do you have a clue as to what can be happening?
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> routerl: sorry... busy atm
[03:13] <mttr> when i use main@main-desktop:~$ sudo gedit
[03:13] <mttr> sudo: must be setuid root
[03:13] <robdig> shadowblade: do  you want to set it for everybody on yoru system or just you?
[03:13] <mttr> i get must be in setuid root
[03:13] <shadowblade> robdig: probly just me
[03:13] <desertc> mttr: he is saying that you should NOT use sudo -- use gksudo
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> mttr: doing that can cause the exact problem you are having now
[03:13] <sidcypher> any1 here get a aircard working with ubuntu?????
[03:13] <mttr> ok
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> mttr: gksudo gedit  is the proper way to do it
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> mttr: sudo nano or vi   etc is fine
[03:14] <desertc> mttr: he's saying that by using sudo gedit, you may have messed up permissions
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> desertc: sorry, wasnt trying to step on your toes..
[03:14] <MattJ> Jack_Sparrow: Yes
[03:14] <mttr> i suspect that is correct
[03:15] <desertc> Jack_Sparrow: I appreciate the help, because I have no idea
[03:15] <robdig> shadowblade: edit your ~/.profile, and add a line that says PS1=$
[03:15] <greencookie> How do I add a last.fm jounal account in scribefire?
[03:15] <mttr> but i can't seem to change the permissions back
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> desertc: np.. we all help each other..
[03:15] <desertc> Jack_Sparrow: I do not have much knowledge of how modern gdm's operate
[03:15] <robdig> shadowblade: you will need to restart your terminal to take effect
[03:15] <denardo> Hm. Google and dogpile don't bring up anything that I haven't already tried in getting xine to play audio once Firefox has done so,
[03:15] <mttr> i believe the programs are in /usr/bin
[03:15] <mttr> i
[03:16] <Jack_Sparrow> mttr: undoing it isnt all that easy, we would need to know what all you did as sudo in gui etc...
[03:16] <mttr> i've try to change permision with chown but no luck
[03:16] <robdig> shadowblade: or you can type source .profile (i think)
[03:16] <mttr> outch
[03:16] <Jack_Sparrow> mttr: so you tried sudo su    then pass then chown etc
[03:17] <shadowblade> rodbig: hm...doesnt seem to be working
[03:17] <shadowblade> oh well, its not a real big deal
[03:17] <shadowblade> did i need to restart my whole computer or just the terminal window?
[03:17] <mttr> yes.. what ever comands are on the appliction applets (top) bar.. all seem to be messed up
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> mttr: Sorry, but I am out of answers for today... Hope I can come up with more for tomorrow
[03:17] <mttr> with permissions that is
[03:17] <robdig> shadowblade: just the terminal window...you are running bash as your shell, right?
[03:18] <mttr> thanks for your help
[03:18] <mttr> may have to reinstall
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> np.. sorry it wasnt an easy fix
[03:18] <shadowblade> rodbig: ... dunno, sorry
[03:18] <denardo> So it appears that if I'm to listen to non-firefox audio while keeping firefox open, the solution is to boot into Windows. *sigh*
[03:18] <greencookie> Does anyone in here know if scribefire can be set up with a last.fm journal account?
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> mttr: remember after you get it reinstalled to do a backup..
[03:18] <shadowblade> rodbig: again, its not a big deal, i thought it might be a quick change kind of thing
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> mttr: also.. if you burn var/cache/apt/archives to a cd you can save a ton of dl time later
[03:19] <robdig> shadowblade: if you haven't changed it then it is bash. try putting it in ~/.bashrc, that's what i meant to say...sorry
[03:19] <mttr> can't someone do a ls -l on there /usr/bin folder
[03:19] <shadowblade> rodbig: that worked, thanks
[03:19] <mttr> well i lease my home folder is on seperate drive
[03:20] <mttr> can someone do a ls -l on there /usr/bin folder
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> goodnight
[03:20] <desertc> Sounds like on of those, "Oh, so that's why everyone says not to run programs as root user..."
[03:20] <desertc> moments
[03:20] <robdig> shadowblade: sorry for misdirection first, at work use ksh, which uses .profile...anyway glad it worked for you
[03:21] <denardo> Looking at QAmix doesn't show anything revealing.
[03:21] <desertc> mttr: Reinstall your root directory, and you should be all set
[03:21] <mttr> about 30 min haha
[03:22] <mttr> what folder in root should i back up before i reinstall

[03:28] <DM|> skar try this in a terminal  "sudo apt-get remove vmware-player --purge" should go through stopping the services
[03:29] <DM|> vmnet is a service, vmmon is the kernel module
[03:29] <robdig> cvd: of course you can ask, but will anybody be able to answer? never know until you ask...
[03:30] <DM|> dont ask to ask a question, just ask it

[03:32] <cvd> this is the code http://pastebin.com/m7ed65c68
[03:32] <skar> DM| aha! installation works now, thanks a lot!
[03:32] <DM|> yerp
[03:33] <FunnyLookinHat> mnereson8, you just have to remove the CD from your sources...  here is how to
[03:33] <FunnyLookinHat> mnereson8, sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:33] <mnereson8> remove or add?
[03:33] <tomd123> does anyone know of any very good grammar checkers?
[03:33] <FunnyLookinHat> mnereson8, put a # at the beginning of the first source line, the one with the CD
[03:34] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> holy shit
[03:34] <Ashfire908> fun.
[03:34] <Darius08x> ... whats goin on o.o
[03:34] <Ashfire908> netsplit
[03:34] <FunnyLookinHat> mnereson8, lol I'll type it again
[03:34] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> what just happened
[03:34] <FunnyLookinHat> !netsplit
[03:34] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[03:34] <cvd> :-(
[03:34] <Ashfire908> !netsplit
[03:34] <mnereson8> I saw
[03:34] <Ashfire908> oh lol
[03:34] <robdig> cvd: long time since i did cobol, but it sounds like it doesn't like the comment. Don't remember what the comment symbol is in cobol...
[03:34] <mnereson8> is that it?

[03:34] <meoblast001> hello i have 2 problems today.... the first.... i have my EXE files set to open with wine in the properties menu of the files, but the default appears as Text Editor when the file is right clicked.... i want it to open with Wine by default...... and the second.... Evolution does not notify me of mail until i launch it.... is there anyway to have the notifier launch with my session?
[03:35] <mnereson8> FunnyLokinHat: thanks, just comment out that one cdrom line?
[03:35] <Darius08x> I need help getting my wireless thing to work on ubuntu 7.10. It worked on the live cd, but not now. ?_?
[03:35] <cvd> i just copy the 'hello word' from open-cobol
[03:35] <FunnyLookinHat> mnereson8, yup, then do control + x to exit and make sure to hit yes for save
[03:35] <FunnyLookinHat> mnereson8, then you have to sudo aptitude update and then you can install your program   : )
[03:35] <mnereson8> FunnyLokinHat: awesome, its going now - thanks a ton mate
[03:35] <cvd> http://tinyurl.com/3blqj5
[03:36] <meoblast001> any ideas?
[03:36] <FunnyLookinHat> mnereson8, no problem   : )
[03:36] <robdig> cvd: so try removing the first line and see what it does...
[03:36] <Ashfire908> !netsplit > quanticle
[03:36] <tntCry> Darius08x, what do you mean worked? the wireless card or the internet connection ?
[03:37] <FunnyLookinHat> meoblast001, with the email notification, I'm not sure of a way to do that with evolution, sorry
[03:37] <meoblast001> ok
[03:37] <Darius08x> tntCry: ...Both? I could connect wireless and everything
[03:37] <meoblast001> any ideas for the WINE problem?
[03:37] <robdig> cvd: ah, * is in wrong column in your pastebin...compare to sample
[03:37] <FunnyLookinHat> meoblast001, with the .EXE files, you can set the default when you right click a .EXE - Choose Open With - Open with Other Application ---  Just type in wine and check the box to make it default
[03:38] <tntCry> Darius08x, so you mean ubuntu havent detected your card ?
[03:38] <Darius08x> Yeah
[03:39] <TigranG> Does building a custom kernel actually make the system faster?
[03:39] <cvd> still the same :-)
[03:39] <cvd> :-(
[03:39] <meoblast001> FunnyLookinHat: i dont have that option
[03:39] <tntCry> im the wrong person to help you with Darius08x , but if its an internet problem that means if your card works and your connected to your router and erverything but your internet isnt working it means you cant surf or log in msn ect.. that is a problem i can help you with.
[03:39] <Darius08x> tntCry:  Thats not my problem, it's just not detecting the card. ): But it did in the live cd which is odd
[03:40] <robdig> cvd: try deleting the first line and see if it will compile
[03:40] <tntCry> hmm
[03:40] <tntCry> did you type dmesg?
[03:40] <FunnyLookinHat> meoblast001, Ahh, so it isn't there...   hold on, I forget how to do it
[03:40] <FunnyLookinHat> meoblast001, give me a sec, I'll find it for you
[03:40] <tntCry> intrminal Darius08x
[03:40] <Darius08x> nope hold on
[03:40] <cvd> after deleting the first line http://pastebin.com/d3af8d0c7
[03:41] <tntCry> and see if you find the name of your WIcard theyr Darius08x
[03:41] <judgement07> does anyone use DEVEDE?
[03:41] <FunnyLookinHat> meoblast001, hmm..  I'm not totally sure.  You should google for it.  When I installed WINE, it automatically set the default for .EXE files to be WINE
[03:41] <TigranG> Does building a custom kernel from source actually make the system faster?
[03:41] <Darius08x> tntCry:  Don't see it
[03:42] <meoblast001> will reinstalling Wine destroy all my previous settings and files?
[03:42] <cvd> maybe there something wrong with the terminal?
[03:42] <FunnyLookinHat> meoblast001, probably not,   you can make sure it doesn't by doing this in a console
[03:42] <FunnyLookinHat> meoblast001, mv .wine .wine_backup
[03:42] <cvd> cuz sometimes i cant use the su at all
[03:42] <FunnyLookinHat> meoblast001, then once you reinstall wine, do this:   mv .wine_backup .wine
[03:43] <tntCry> dirst of all Darius08x what is it a laptop? built in wireless with mobo or a PCMCI laptop card or a PCI slot for PC.
[03:43] <Darius08x> PCI slot for pc
[03:44] <MattJ> Is it true that there is a maximum of 2GB for swap in Linux?
[03:44] <tntCry> you know Darius08x if i was you i would remove it and put it in another slot
[03:44] <Darius08x> Ok, thanks I guess i can try
[03:44] <tntCry> and try booting ubuntu again . this may cause of conflict that is 1 of the 80 reasons
[03:44] <tntCry> but the other reasons is you must get some files and stuff but that is also recommended if my way didnt work .
[03:45] <robdig> cvd: i don't remember, does cobol statements start in column 7 or 8? been too long...either way, for the warning, try doing cobc -free hello.cob
[03:45] <robdig> cvd: that will allow free format cobol
[03:45] <tntCry> i always start with basics Darius08x before i go with the hardcore setting
[03:45] <Darius08x> Ok, thank you, gonna go try that out, bye for noe
[03:45] <Darius08x> now
[03:45] <meoblast001> i want to make a ubuntu commercial for Albino Black Sheep because Canonical doesnt make commercials
[03:45] <Ashfire908> no more netsplit!
[03:45] <tntCry> good luck
[03:45] <Ashfire908> :)
[03:46] <Alyxander> hey guys has anyone checked out GEubuntu
[03:46] <ajeet> pls what is the comibation keys for kill command
[03:46] <Zhaozhou> Alyxander, heh, gebuntu. Allways new flavours.
[03:46] <meoblast001> ajeet: to kill an application use System > Administration > System Monitor
[03:47] <Zhaozhou> i wish there was a list of them. _all_ of them.
[03:47] <meoblast001> ajeet: there you will be able to right click on the name of the process and click kill
[03:47] <ajeet> is there a key combo
[03:47] <Alyxander> Zhaozhou, yup Gnome mixed with E17 very nice very very nice
[03:47] <meoblast001> ajeet: you can make one
[03:47] <ajeet> like in suse
[03:47] <Zhaozhou> Alyxander, e17 <3
[03:47] <Fyda> ajeet: No, but you could set one or create a launcher for 'xkill'
[03:47] <meoblast001> ajeet: first install the program xbindkeys
[03:48] <Zhaozhou> Im thinking of getting e17 on my box. e17 is really keyboard-friendly.
[03:48] <robdig> cvd: i don't remember, does cobol statements start in column 7 or 8? been too long...either way, for the warning, try doing cobc -free hello.cob
[03:48] <robdig> cvd: as far as the ld error, looks like you need to install ncurses
[03:48] <meoblast001> ajeet: Fyda's idea sounds a little easier
[03:49] <Alyxander> Zhaozhou, its hot the only reason i switched fro xubuntu with e installed was to see if they got it right with wireless and yeah they did
[03:49] <cvd> cannot find -lncurses
[03:49] <Zhaozhou> Alyxander, :D nice!
[03:49] <lht> Hi all. my apache wont start with /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[03:49] <Zhaozhou> Alyxander, what wireless card do you have?
[03:50] <Fyda> meoblast001: ajeet left :(
[03:51] <meoblast001> Fyda: he did?
[03:51] <meoblast001> im always late on that stuff
[03:51] <robdig> cvd: you need to install ncurses, the open cobol web site says 5.2 or later, not sure i see that, but try this...sudo apt-get install libncurses5
[03:51] <cvd> i have intalled the libncurses5, libncursesw5,libncurses-base,ncurses-bin
[03:52] <robdig> cvd: did you install open cobol from the ubuntu repositories or from their website?
[03:52] <cvd> from synaptic
[03:52] <cvd> and all the requirements
[03:53] <robdig> cvd: then it should have downloaded everything you need...suggest you open a bug on it
[03:55] <daks> does anybody know what could cause gnome to start slowly, displaying the ubuntu splash screen for an extended period?
[03:57] <judgement07> jkgkj
[03:57] <judgement07> whats wrong w/ this? is this slow or just me?
[03:58] <judgement07> devede question? please
[04:00] <jonesy> anyone else having issues with any application obeying sound settings set via the taskbar applet?
[04:00] <jonesy> my volume is muted, but firefox and totem are still loud as all hell.
[04:00] <jonesy> even when I turn the volume all the way down on totem, it's still loud as all hell.
[04:00] <sorely> ....
[04:01] <jonesy> then I did 'test' under "Sound Preferences" and it's loud as all hell... with everything muted!
[04:01] <Fyda> jonesy: But what about the sliders? Have you turned them all down to 0%, too?
[04:02] <jonesy> Fyda: the volume indicator on my panel says it's muted.
[04:02] <jonesy> if I click on it, it's all the way at the "-"
[04:02] <Fyda> jonesy: Yes. But look at the other channels in the mixer.
[04:02] <jonesy> yeah, that's where my confusion is.
[04:02] <jonesy> wtf is going on?
[04:02] <Fyda> I know it's inconsistent, and would like a fix as well.
[04:03] <jonesy> if I turn "PCM" down (wtf is that?) the volume goes down.
[04:03] <DG19075> jonesy, you have to open the mixer and make sure alll the controls are at minimum
[04:03] <skar> I used easyvmx.com to make an XP machine, and tried to use vmware-player to run it, but when I power up the machine, it gives me an error: "VMware Player unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)
[04:03] <skar> Failed to allocate page for guest RAM!"
[04:03] <jonesy> this is an area where instead of having 15 different sound systems to choose from, it would be nice if linux had *one* that worked with the major desktops in some kind of seamless way.
[04:04] <nickrud> jonesy: if changing pcm (pulse code modulation?) , right click the volume control and tell it to control pcm
[04:04] <nickrud> *works, that is
[04:04] <Fyda> PCM typically corresponds to most sound output from most apps, at least as far as I can see.
[04:04] <DG19075> Fyda, you are right
[04:05] <jonesy> I've been using linux for many years, and the only thing about it that sucks more than sound is printing (but that's any os) ;-P
[04:05] <jonesy> thanks Fyda
[04:05] <skar> I used easyvmx.com to make an XP machine, and tried to use vmware-player to run it, but when I power up the machine, it gives me an error: "VMware Player unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)
[04:05] <skar> Failed to allocate page for guest RAM!". How do i fix this?
[04:07] <robrrr> how can i make it so that the the root account can't be used to login? ie must su to root
[04:07] <skar> how do i change the permissions on my other partitions?
[04:07] <nickrud> skar, have you tried googling that error?
[04:07] <robdig> robrrr: by default, ubuntu has root disabled...the recommendation is to use sudo or gksudo for root access
[04:07] <skar> nickrud, oh, actually i haven't, thanks for the advice, hehe
[04:08] <nickrud> robrrr: passwd --lock <user>
[04:08] <ivan_> hi can someone help me with my wacom tablet??
[04:09] <robrrr> nickrud: thanks, will that stop the account from being used or just mean that i must su to root?
[04:09] <cvd> :-)
[04:09] <nickrud> robrrr: sudo will work, su shouldn't
[04:09] <skar> nickrud, a solution mentioned setting something to false in the "vmx", how do i edit the vmx?
[04:09] <juanbond> Hey guys, quick question... How can I disable the speaker beep when you backspace to far in terminal, or doing an illegal key stoke.
[04:10] <nickrud> skar: with a text editor :)
[04:10] <skar> nickrud, ah hehe, thanks
[04:10] <Fyda> juanbond: That's the system bell. Try looking in the Sound settings.
[04:10] <juanbond> Sounds good.
[04:10] <juanbond> Thanks!
[04:10] <Neodudeman> gutsy wont start
[04:11] <Neodudeman> it just gives me a blank screen
[04:11] <nickrud> juanbond: on the terminal, edit->current profile, untick system bell
[04:11] <Neodudeman> after grub loads
[04:11] <Fyda> Neodudeman: Try pressing Alt+F2 when it's at the black screen?
[04:11] <Neodudeman> ok, then?
[04:11] <troythetechguy> I'm looking for the "info" pages, and I don't see many of them in 7.04.  Is this common within Ubuntu?
[04:11] <Fyda> Neodudeman: I have seen 2 people with the same issue -- it turns out they have no splash screen, and Ubuntu won't finish booting unless they switch to the virtual terminal.
[04:12] <Neodudeman> weird
[04:12] <Fyda> Neodudeman: That shortcut switches to the VT. It seems that this allows the system to finish booting up. I do not know of a solution.
[04:12] <Neodudeman> what should i do in the virtual terminal?
[04:12] <Neodudeman> any commands that need be typed
[04:12] <Fyda> Neodudeman: Wait for it to finish booting up :)
[04:12] <ivan_> where can i ge helh a wacom tablet??
[04:12] <Neodudeman> oh
[04:12] <Neodudeman> lol
[04:12] <Neodudeman> ok, thanks, i'll try it now
[04:15] <robdig> troythetechguy: you probably need to install them...usually in packages that have a -doc on their name...there aren't a lot installed by default
[04:15] <mohd> Hello, is is possible to use emerald themes along with compiz fusion>
[04:15] <mohd> ?*
[04:16] <Morphius> QQ: I've followed to docs on ubuntu.com to get DVDs, but when I apt-get install libdvdplay0, the package doesn't exist.
[04:16] <troythetechguy> robdig, are the info pages more current than the man pages?
[04:16] <Morphius> And it appears taht gxine won't play DVD's without it.
[04:16] <robdig> troythetechguy: in my experience, no...many times they are exactly the same :(
[04:17] <troythetechguy> robdig, Thanks for the information.
[04:17] <Morphius> Anyone?
[04:18] <allnightarockin> sup

[04:21] <adamonline45> I'm trying to play a dvd on Kubuntu gutsy, and Kaffeine says: "The source can't be read.  Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disk in drive). (Error reading NAV packet.)"  Does anyone know what this could be?  I _do_ have a disk in the drive, of course 8)  And I can see the FBI warning before it says this...
[04:22] <ToddEDM> he guys, im trying to partition a external USB hard drive .... it is already partitioned FAT32, and im not sure what to do in Gparted, it wont let me format it!!!
[04:23] <Joey_Adams> ToddEDM> Do you care what's on there already, or are you not worried about deleting everything on there?
[04:23] <Kryll> is there a way to run windows based 3d games
[04:24] <dooglus> Kryll: yes, a friend of mine does it all the time
[04:24] <Fyda> Kryll: Some of them might work under Wine. Which one were you thinking of in particular?
[04:24] <ToddEDM> i tired to get CoD to work .. no go
[04:24] <thor> ToddEDM are you trying to format it as a fat32 drive?

[04:24] <ToddEDM> Joey_Adams:  ... i want it all gone!
[04:24] <Joey_Adams> Okay.
[04:25] <Joey_Adams> Open up a terminal, type sudo su to become root
[04:25] <ToddEDM> i want 2 partitions on it
[04:25] <Fyda> ToddEDM: Did you unmount it before trying to format it?
[04:25] <Joey_Adams> Then type fdisk -l and see what disk you want to reformat.
[04:25] <Joey_Adams> Oh, that too :)
[04:25] <ToddEDM> no fyda
[04:25] <Fyda> ToddEDM: Please unmount it in Gparted then try again :)
[04:25] <ToddEDM> ohhhhh i didnt know that it had to be unmounted
[04:25] <Joey_Adams> Yup.

[04:32] <nickrud> komputes: not on my machine, it is and always has been
[04:32] <komputes> ToddEDM: I always format mine as Fat32, i think it's the only possibility...
[04:33] <komputes> nickrud: what version of ubuntu do you run?
[04:33] <thor> ToddEDM didn't think you could do that with usb drives even in windows...they have to be fat32
[04:33] <ToddEDM> linux wont read/write fat32, will it ?
[04:33] <ToddEDM> really.....
[04:33] <thor> ToddEDM yup...no problem
[04:33] <nickrud> komputes: gutsy, but it's inherited from debian, it's always been that file are you sure you typed it correctly? /etc/group

I have tried emerald --replace with emerald installed, but it doesn't start.

[04:36] <Bryan> script*
[04:36] <Fyda> Strangework: I have that exact graphics card on this laptop, and I use the "intel" driver (which appears to be the same as i810, but I could be wrong)
[04:36] <nickrud> Strangework: you can the intel driver, it supports that chip
[04:37]  * nickrud is late again :)
[04:37] <Strangework> hm. okay, I will give that a shot, thanks guys :)
[04:37] <Fyda> Bryan: Well... you could write those two commands into a text file, make it executable, and run it,  but I don't know if this is what you mean by script ;)
[04:38] <weltall> sorry it's normal that gutsy has an extremely OLD clamtk package (old almost as feisty...)
[04:38] <komputes> nickrud:
[04:38] <komputes> sudo find / -name "groups"
[04:38] <komputes> /usr/bin/groups
[04:38] <komputes> /usr/share/restricted-manager/groups
[04:38] <nickrud> komputes: group not groups
[04:38] <adamonline45> I can't play DVDs... Can anyone help? <:D
[04:39] <kishan_> adamonline45, did u install the codecs
[04:39] <Fyda> adamonline45: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[04:39] <nickrud> weltall: normal, but maybe not optimal
[04:39] <kishan_> adamonline45, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[04:39] <komputes> nickrud:  thanks, that worked - stupid tutorial on http://www.ubuntu1501.com/
[04:40] <adamonline45> kishan_: Fyda: I isntalled the kubuntu-restricted-extras package; would that do it?
[04:40] <kishan_> no adamonline45 ,just follow the howto we send u
[04:41] <weltall> nickrud: well it's quite bad as the 2.99 version has an important feature (no file size limit) for an antivirus
[04:41] <galacticone> anyone farmiliar with ubuntu ultimate?
[04:41] <nickrud> kishan_: the packages that make gutsy were frozen back in august, so that's the latest release of all but critical or pet stuff
[04:42] <kishan_> sorry nickrud i did not get u
[04:42] <weltall> well 2.99 was of june
[04:42] <nickrud> galacticone: according to people who should know, it's a hacked up version
[04:42] <weltall> so someone forgot to update it :P
[04:42] <weltall> well i'll go for the old manual way
[04:42] <galacticone> ok does anyone know if it has a mac spoofer?
[04:43] <nickrud> weltall: yeah, the ubuntu stuff comes from debian, and sometimes it lags badly
[04:43] <weltall> ok thanks :)
[04:43] <Ashfire908> is there a guiode or anything to combining two ppp connections?
[04:44] <nickrud> weltall: don't know if you're aware of checkinstall, you should use it to make a hacked up package for installation
[04:44] <daks> so my gnome has begun lagging quite a bit when I first login, displaying the ubuntu splash screen for a long time, does anybody know what might cause this?
[04:44] <weltall> yes but i was fortunate there was a premade package on the site of the author :)
[04:45] <weltall> lucky*
[04:45] <weltall> daks: compiz
[04:45] <nickrud> the author is used to debian, i guess :)
[04:45] <weltall> :)
[04:46] <weltall> well he has also rpm packages :P
[04:46] <Ashfire908> is there a guide or anything to combining two ppp connections?
[04:46] <Strangework> okay. Um, I chose the 'intel' driver, and like you said, it still showed up as i810, now how do I know if it works properly?
[04:47] <nickrud> Strangework: look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , there's a lot of stuff there but if you go about halfway down it'll tell you about it's recognition of the video card
[04:47] <tushyd> anyone know how to convert vcf files to csv?
[04:47] <Strangework> nickrud: Yessir
[04:48] <nickrud> Strangework: if you have trouble with it, put on paste.ubuntu-nl.org & I'll take a look
[04:49] <devin_> having some issues with here and im not finding much on forums, I'm getting this error: (dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system)
[04:49] <adamonline45> kishan_: These pages all reference libdvdcss2; isn't there a 3 available?
[04:50] <Mike>  Can someone please help me with flash on Firefox 64-bit?
[04:51] <Strangework> nickrud: Hm, not sure how to interpret this at all. :( but almost every number is a zero. :\
[04:52] <nickrud> Strangework: what you're looking for is the section where most lines will start with either intel or i810, it'll say if it's using the 945 capabilities
[04:52] <zzap> Fyda: You there?
[04:52] <adamonline45> kishan_: Oh wow, libdvdcss2 did it, when 3 didn't... thank you 8)
[04:52] <syndr0> !konqueror
[04:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about konqueror - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[04:53] <Bryan__> I put sudo modprobe -r -f bcm43xx into a script, but it doesn't work.
[04:53] <zzap> Fyda: I got the monitor working. :D
[04:53] <Bryan__> However, I type it into a terminal, at it works just fine
[04:53] <zzap> Fyda: Thanks for your help yesterday.
[04:53] <zzap> Fyda: Still there? :P
[04:53] <Fyda> zzap: Er, yes
[04:53] <sina> hi can anyone help me out
[04:54] <zzap> Damn netsplits.
[04:54] <Fyda> zzap: Did it work out okay? How is your display?
[04:54] <sina> im trying to get my ndiswrapper working
[04:54] <sina> iv been at it for a good hour
[04:54] <nickrud> Bryan__: leave out the sudo , and call it like sudo <file>
[04:54] <zzap> Fyda: Primary monitor works fine.
[04:54] <zzap> Fyda: But I can't get the second monitor to work. :/
[04:54] <Bryan__> nickrud, hows do I do that?
[04:54] <zzap> Fyda: Like, in the options there's the "Screen 2" there, but it's disabled.
[04:54] <sina> ANYONE
[04:54] <nickrud> Bryan__: you're calling this scipt manually, right?
[04:55] <sina> JUMP RIGHT IN ANYTIME
[04:55] <zzap> Fyda: And I can't enable it without setting it to the primary monitor.
[04:55] <adamonline45> I have an old bruce lee DVD that LOOKS like it's wide screen, but it's really just a 4:3 with a black top and bottom.  Is there a way in Kaffeine to fit-to-width?
[04:55] <devin_>  Need some help here. I tried reinstalling Konqueror because it kept using 99% cpu and now im getting ( dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system) any idea how to fix this?
[04:55] <sina> whenver u feel ready to help ill be waiting
[04:55] <Bryan__> nickrud, no I just stuck it into /etc/acpi/resume.d/ and made it an executable
[04:55] <Strangework> nickrud: I found no lines beginning with 'intel' and 'i810' never appeared, but VESA appeared a lot.
[04:56] <Fyda> zzap: I don't know, I haven't set up a dual-head system successfully yet. But there's the man page for xorg.conf's options: http://linux.die.net/man/5/xorg.conf
[04:56] <nickname6324> Hey all, I have gutsy and I get frequent crashes and lockups when browsing the web or doing other regular activities. Is there any one to begin troubleshooting these errors?
[04:56] <zzap> Fyda: Hmm, so you think I'll have to edit the .conf?
[04:56] <nickname6324> Firefox crashes all the time
[04:56] <nickrud> Strangework: then you're not getting the intel driver during X startup alright. How did you set up the config? sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg , and selecting the driver is recommended
[04:57] <Fyda> zzap: Perhaps? I'm not sure that there's a tool that could reliably detect your hardware and generate a correct, working xorg.conf
[04:57] <Fyda> Someone might correct me on that though :/
[04:57]  * IpMooIng tips hatt
[04:58] <Strangework> nickrud: excuse me? I didn't understand that last statement
[04:58] <nickrud> Fyda: we could wish for that on dual configs :(
[04:58] <nickrud> Strangework: run the following:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg   . It'll ask you to select a driver, choose intel

[04:59] <sina> HI GUYS
[04:59]  * nickrud wishes someone was around who knew ndiswrapper
[04:59] <sina> IV BEEN AT THIS BUISNEESSSS FOR QUITE SOME TIME
[04:59] <tritium> sina: please don't use all-caps
[04:59] <juanbond> Hey guys, how can I view all groups
[04:59] <tritium> juanbond: they're listed in /etc/groups
[04:59] <nickrud> juanbond: cat /etc/group
[05:00] <sina> tritium id love to oblige

[05:00] <IpMooIng> please
[05:00] <tritium> s/groups/group
[05:00] <juanbond> thank you, i'm trying to setup my user to belong to the apache group.
[05:00] <zzap> Fyda: Hmm, I'll do some research on it. Also, when I go into the "Add/Remove Programs" app., like half the applications say they can't work because of my hardware being i386 or something. ?
[05:00] <sina> as soon as someone can hook me up wit some aid cause my hairs kinda fallin out here
[05:00] <sina> see issue is
[05:00] <nickrud> juanbond: why? and you'd do sudo adduser <user> www-data
[05:00] <tritium> juanbond: you'd use: sudo adduser <username> <group>
[05:00] <sina> i cant use ndiswrapper
[05:00] <Fyda> zzap: I'm not familiar with that, sorry.
[05:00] <tritium> !enter | sina
[05:00] <ubotu> sina: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:00] <Strangework> nickrud: All the terminal gave back was this "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20071206235943", no option to select a new driver :(
[05:00] <zzap> Fyda: Alright.
[05:01] <nickname6324> How can you rm a directory even if it is full?
[05:01] <Bryan> wow
[05:01] <Bryan> okay
[05:01] <nickrud> Strangework: now take a look at the /etc/X11/xorg.conf , see what driver it used (should have asked)
[05:01] <sina> yes sir will do forgive me i am a nub i will not use enter as punctuation but do u know wat i can do about ndiswrapper not working
[05:01] <cvd> a have to write the numbers to the left to compile in cobol? 000010,00020?

[05:02] <Johnny_5> how do i adjust enlightenment so the menus aren't too big without changing the theme?
[05:02] <nickrud> Strangework: are you sure you used -phigh ? I just tested it here again
[05:02] <Aztec007> any cute girls here?
[05:02] <Strangework> nickrud: yah, claims it is using intel
[05:02] <Bryan> so this is a weird one: my wifi returns when I get out of suspend. BUT it won't connect to anything. When I type in "sudo modprobe -r -f bcm43xx" and "sudo modprobe bcm43xx" into the terminal it restarts my drivers and THEN I can connect to WAP's. Is there anyway I can put this in a script, so I don't have to type this into a terminal everytime I get back form suspend?
[05:02] <tritium> Aztec007: that's offtopic here
[05:02] <nickrud> nickname6324: you would need rm -rf (recursive , force )
[05:03] <nickname6324> thanks
[05:03] <Aztec007> just kidding bro
[05:03] <onats> does anyone know where i can find apt.conf?
[05:03] <Aztec007> i actually had a question on running X on gentoo
[05:03] <nickrud> Strangework: ok, logging out, hit clt-alt-backspace , log back in. Take a look at that log file again
[05:03] <nickrud> onats: /etc/apt
[05:04] <Aztec007> It doesnt recognize my ATI All in wonder
[05:04] <juanbond> How can I remove my user from the www-data group?
[05:04] <tritium> Aztec007: this is an _ubuntu_ channel
[05:04] <onats> nickrud, i only see apt.conf.d directory

[05:04] <Johnny_5> how do i adjust enlightenment so the menus aren't too big without changing the theme?
[05:04] <Aztec007> woops
[05:04] <Strangework> ok
[05:04] <Aztec007> joing #Gentoo
[05:04] <nickrud> onats: that's the new method, apt will read all the fragments there and combine them to create apt.conf on the fly each time it's called
[05:05] <Fyda> Johnny_5: Adjust the font sizes, perhaps? If I recall correctly, E allows for changing that for individual elements
[05:05] <onats> nickrud, which file should i put in Acquire::http::Proxy “http://apt-cache-machine:3142″;?
[05:05] <nickrud> onats: you'd look for the options there you want to change; if it's not already set, make a new fragment there
[05:05] <Darius08x> About how big should my swap and root partion be?
[05:05] <Darius08x> hahaha, oh wow

[05:06] <Strangework> nickrud: Did it, what I noticed is that when I logged out, I went into a terminal window. later, a box came up saying I was in "low graphics mode" :(
[05:06] <nickrud> onats: use a new fragment, the reason debian uses those *.d directories is so you or dev's can adjust the behavior without affecting any other package
[05:06] <Johnny_5> Fyda: how do i get to it?
[05:06] <Bryan> so this is a weird one: my wifi returns when I get out of suspend. BUT it won't connect to anything.

Is there anyway I can put this in a script, so I don't have to type this into a terminal every time I get back form suspend?
[05:07] <onats> nickrud, so if i just add a file there, it will automatically include it, irregardless of naming convention?
[05:07] <nickrud> Strangework: put you /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log on that pastebin

[05:07] <onats> ok, no problem then.. thanks!
[05:07] <onats> will try it out now..
[05:07] <MikeOxbigger> Wtf...I cannot see my mouse :(
[05:08] <Shadow147> I have to use the nvidia-glx-legacy drivers
[05:08] <onats> nickrud, how would i know btw, if the proxying would work? would you know?
[05:08] <Strangework> nickrud: yessir, wait.. how do I operate the pastebin?
[05:08] <nickrud> !nvidia | Shadow147
[05:08] <ubotu> Shadow147: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:08] <Strangework> nickrud: what category do I place it under?
[05:08] <Fyda> Johnny_5: Are you using E17?
[05:08] <cvd> Hey thats was the problem. i do not write the first 6
[05:08] <nickrud> Strangework: open each file in gedit, then copy and paste. Just stick it up there, and put the link here. Category isn't really relevant
[05:08] <onats> nickrud, i'm planning to use the acquire http proxy, so that the package manager can fall back to the internet, in case the cacher is offline...
[05:09] <nickrud> onats: I'd make it 90
[05:09] <Fyda> Johnny_5: In E17, go to the main menu -> Configuration -> Configuration Panel, then under Appearance, open Fonts.
[05:10] <onats> nickrud, yeah, but upon placing it there, how do i know my system's actually using the proxy, and not the sources from internet repositories?
[05:10] <MikeOxbigger> Help...I cannot see my mouse pointer...my computer is pwning me >;(
[05:10] <nickrud> onats: you can see how apt will see it with cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*
[05:10] <game> hello lovely ubuntu users,
[05:10] <Fyda> Johnny_5: The Advanced mode in the Fonts dialog should let you select specific elements (eg. title bars, menu items, menu titles) and adjust their font style
[05:10] <Johnny_5> i think i may be using e16 because i don't see anything like that
[05:10] <nickrud> onats: now that I don't know, I've never run a proxy so I've never learned
[05:10] <Johnny_5> k
[05:10] <CoasterMaster> whoooo
[05:11] <onats> nickrud, ok, thanks for your help still... will test it out
[05:11] <Strangework> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47184/
[05:11] <Fyda> Johnny_5: Well, I don't have e16, but I figure it should be similar -- probably available in the control panel somewhere.
[05:11] <game> i would like to know. that my school has WIFI and i cant use chat room. does any one know why?
[05:11] <Johnny_5> k

[05:13] <Johnny_5> <MikeOxbigg  er:reboot
[05:13] <nickrud> Strangework: ok, now the xorg.conf. But possibly, try logging out and check to see if you're using the gnome session or the failsafe session (look under options on the screen)
[05:13] <game> Fyda: i used wireschirk and it went nuts.. well the network. is using wire shark illegal
[05:13] <MikeOxbigger> Johnny_5: Okay, but then how do I stop this from happening again?

[05:15] <UbuntMe> Can someone just give me a terminal command please?  I'm kinda in a rush.
[05:15] <cvd> what is the terminal command to show the kernel and ubuntu version?
[05:16] <nickrud> UbuntMe: that factoid is a bit out of date, the web page should be more current
[05:16] <IpMooIng> u gott learn dude

[05:17] <kelsin> Darius08x: swap should be between 2x and 1x of your ram, depending, root can be the rest but I normally make home a separate partition to ease when reinstalling
[05:18] <devin_> tired it as root
[05:18] <UbuntMe> nickrud: thanks dude! rock on
[05:18] <devin_> don't understand
[05:18] <nickrud> Darius08x: 15gb root, 2xram up to about 2gb, the rest /home
[05:18] <nickrud> Darius08x: 2gb swap that is

[05:23] <danayelx> oh sound, that too, how doe I make it so that my laptop stops making this loud annoying sound when i close it?
[05:23] <nickrud> Strangework: ok, the config looks right. (I meant the PCI:0:2:0 in the config) . I'd log out, click the options button, and make sure I'm not using the failsafe mode.
[05:24] <Strangework> nickrud: I will do just that :)
[05:24] <cvd> its there away so xchat automatically load this channel at statup?
[05:24] <cvd> or the server
[05:24] <cvd> ?
[05:24] <annihilus> mrAshley, yeah just audio cd's
[05:25] <onats> eny1?
[05:25] <nickrud> cvd: yes, xchat->network list , select freenode, edit, and click auto connect and add ubuntu to the channel list
[05:25] <Strangework> nickrud: I am back
[05:25] <nickrud> Strangework: ok, does the log have anything nice to say? If not, I'm at a loss
[05:26] <Strangework> nickrud: xorg.0.log I assume?
[05:26] <mrAshley> annihilus: My first suggestion would be to check your audio volume settings.. do you know how?
[05:26] <nickrud> Strangework: yes :)
[05:26] <nickrud> danayelx: it makes that sound when you go to suspend?
[05:27] <danayelx> well, yeah, i close the laptop
[05:27] <danayelx> then it starts making the sound
[05:27] <root_> hi I am having problems with my harddrives  going to about 55C anyone know how I can fix this >?
[05:27] <nickrud> danayelx: then don't close the lid :) (I don't, because I don't get my screen back)
[05:28] <danayelx> right, thats the issue, what can we do about it, or is it something that we have to live with?
[05:28] <danayelx> im used to working on my laptop, walking out w it, and openig it in the next room etc
[05:28] <nickrud> danayelx: sorry for being a fart there, I make jokes about suspend so I don't cry
[05:28] <danayelx> with fedora i didnt have this issue
[05:28] <annihilus77> mrAshley, sry im using a diff name, got kicked randomly
[05:28] <danayelx> lol
[05:29] <danayelx> someone turn them ddosers into an heroes plz
[05:29] <danayelx> :P
[05:29] <danayelx> stealz their ipods!!!
[05:30] <Strangework> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47186/ hope this yields good results. >_<
[05:31] <nickrud> Strangework: the vesa is recognizing your chip; one last try: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf , manually change   intel   to   i810  , log out and try again.
[05:31] <nickname6324> What text editors do you use for coding ?
[05:32] <danayelx> gedit
[05:32] <navynewyorker> Hi I'm a newbie to linux and I need help with an install
[05:32] <ciclo> i didn't do anything just now, just stay on the desktop, but the utilization of CPU is always higher than 50%. I didn think it's nomoral, and used "top". I found it's naulitus and trackerd who take up so much cpu. I killed them and everything is okay. It's strange; can anybody tell me why did these to process occurs while I didn't open them at all
[05:32] <Javid> !install | navynewyorker
[05:32] <ubotu> navynewyorker: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[05:32] <nickrud> nickname6324: my little stuff I use eclipse , emacs , gphpedit , gedit
[05:32] <nickname6324> thanks nickrud
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask | navynewyorker
[05:33] <ubotu> navynewyorker: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:33] <kelsin> nickname6324: emacs all the way
[05:33] <Javid> !lol
[05:33] <ubotu> Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: sorry, a bit slow on the draw
[05:33] <navynewyorker> well I did the install and upon reboot it get a Grub error 17 in the bios prompt
[05:33] <nickrud> nickname6324: I use eclipse in emacs emulation, by the way :)
[05:33] <nickname6324> what do you mean?
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: ask your question..
[05:34] <nickrud> nickname6324: more a response to kelsin , and a plug for emacs
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: what in particular are you having trouble wiht
[05:34] <nickname6324> lol you respond to me but really mean to respond to kelsin
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: are you trying to dual boot?
[05:35] <navynewyorker> during start-up i get a "grub error 17" message and the computer locks up
[05:35] <nickrud> nickname6324: eh, I figured you'd read it all in context, might miss it if directed at kelsin. kelsin seems to follow multiple convo's here easily
[05:35] <nickname6324> lol
[05:35] <kelsin> nickname6324: esp when my name is on every other line :)
[05:36] <Strangework> nickrud: Post up my xorg.0.log?
[05:36]  * nickrud adds extra text so I can lol
[05:36] <rabi> navynewyorker: what is ur problem in shortcut.
[05:36] <Fyda> navynewyorker: Okay, that error is "Cannot mount selected partition". Could have a few different causes.
[05:36] <nickrud> Strangework: sure, but look at it yourself first: where the others have vesa, you should see i810
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> rabi: He installed and now has grub error.  I asked if he was trying to dual boot.
[05:37] <onats> anyone here who can help me with apt-cacher?
[05:37] <Fyda> navynewyorker: How many hard drives are attached to the system?
[05:37] <navynewyorker> jack: i have winxp installed. made a partition for linux, and install
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: fine.. I dual boot here too..
[05:37] <Fyda> navynewyorker: also, what did you do during installation? Did you manually edit the partitions?
[05:37] <navynewyorker> fyda: one 160gb hard drive
[05:38] <navynewyorker> fyda: yes
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: If you manually created the ext3 (or other) it would work better if you made it smaller and left unallocated space for the installer to do it on its own
[05:39] <Strangework> nickrud: i810 wasn't found :(
[05:39] <navynewyorker> with partition magic i made a 20gb partition in winxp
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: you will have an extra ext3.. which we will use
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: partition magic is fine.
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: is that 20 for xp or for Ubuntu
[05:40] <nickrud> Strangework: either something strange is working here, or I am freaking blind. I'd look for better help, either here or on the forums. Paste links to the log and conf
[05:40] <navynewyorker> then installed ubuntu unto that partition, using ext3
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: what about swap space?
[05:40] <UbuntMe> Ok, that thing that someone told me to put into the terminal to get java dident work.  Sooo, how do I install the file jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin thats on my desktop?
[05:40] <navynewyorker> jack: 2gb
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: can you get to xp.?
[05:41] <nickrud> UbuntMe: what does java -version in a terminal say?
[05:41] <navynewyorker> jack: no, it freezes when i get errror 17
[05:41] <Strangework> nickrud: Hehehe.. My name appeared in that sentence.. Well, thank you for your effort nickrud, I will post them up immediately. I truly appreciate how much you put into my little problem. :)
[05:41] <nickrud> Strangework: it should be a simple problem ;(
[05:42] <UbuntMe> oh, hi nickrud,  well, it worked.  But it dosent work..  Like, it installed and everything with no error message, but it dodent do anything
[05:42] <navynewyorker> I tried hitting "esc" to edit grub, no joy
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: fdisk /mbr     will get you back into windows...  use partition magic and delete the linux partition... boot live and let ubuntu set it up
[05:42] <nickrud> UbuntMe: by 'doesn't do anything', could you give a concrete example?
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: are you running livecd now
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !doesntwork
[05:42] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[05:42] <navynewyorker> jack: yes
[05:43] <navynewyorker> I think, I'm running off the CD
[05:43]  * nickrud notes that factoid
[05:43] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: do you have a boot floppy?
[05:43] <navynewyorker> jack: no floopy drive
[05:43] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: booting live, does that cd offer an option to boot the hard drive?
[05:44] <navynewyorker> Jack: can't recall, i don't think so
[05:44] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: fdisk -l      small l   in a cli
[05:44] <navynewyorker> it's 7.10
[05:44] <Fyda> Strangework: I am puzzled, too, that it isn't working for you. I'd be interested in your xorg.conf and perhaps the output of 'dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-
[05:44] <navynewyorker> Cli?
[05:45] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: terminal window
[05:45] <Fyda> Strangework: Oops, forgot a closing '
[05:45] <Strangework> Fyda: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47185/ this is my xorg :)
[05:45] <UbuntMe> nickrud: ok, I installed it, i try to use a yahoo thing that requires java, and go to the java site and it says i need java.
[05:45] <nickrud> UbuntMe: what does java -version in a terminal say?
[05:46] <nickrud> UbuntMe: that is, does it say version 1.6.0 .. etc?
[05:46] <Fyda> Strangework: Well, that's odd -- the xorg.conf looks fine...
[05:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Strangework: line 81 or so.. I dont see refresh rates.. that might help
[05:47] <nickrud> UbuntMe: and, did you do the full line I gave, including the sun-java6-plugin ?
[05:47] <navynewyorker> Jack: response is, command not found
[05:47] <UbuntMe> nickrud:  how do i find out?
[05:47] <UbuntMe> yes, i did
[05:47] <UbuntMe> wait, maybe not
[05:48] <Strangework> Jack_Sparrow: oh damn.. X__X what do you think about this?
[05:48] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker:   sorry  sudo fdisk -l
[05:48] <nickrud> UbuntMe: java -version in a terminal, will spit out the version you are using. And, dpkg -l 'sun-java*' , the packages with ii at the beginning are installed
[05:48] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: cut and paste requires Shift Key
[05:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Strangework: I really need to go.. but I think you are getting the card right but not the monitor info
[05:50] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: he's getting vesa, not i810 in the log
[05:50] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: I saw that too...
[05:50] <UbuntMe> paistbin?
[05:50] <Jack_Sparrow> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:50] <UbuntMe> How do i get to the paisnbin nick?
[05:51] <navynewyorker> Jack: ok originally showed 4 boot device, then one"/dev/sdb1"
[05:51] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: one of my lappys gave me fits for res until I corrected that
[05:51] <UbuntMe> 0
[05:51] <UbuntMe> tks
[05:51] <nickrud> Strangework: and Fyda has a very good point: COLUMNS=255 dpkg -l 'xserver-xorg-video-*' , is the intel and i810 listed as installed?
[05:52] <Strangework> nickrud: I am not sure, how can I check?
[05:53] <UbuntMe> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47187/
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: I dont have time to troubleshoot grub atm..   someone may be able to help.. or boot xp cd into recovery mode and do fdisk /mbr   not to be confused with terminal or cli command line interface.. sorry.  Just getting tired.
[05:53] <nickrud> Strangework: copy and paste that command, if the line starts with ii it's installed
[05:53] <Strangework> OH!
[05:53] <Strangework> whoops. :P
[05:54] <navynewyorker> Jack: It's cool thanks for your help, good night
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> navynewyorker: navy inspector.. retired in san diego
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> goodnight all.
[05:55] <Strangework> goonight!
[05:55] <UbuntMe> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47187/

[05:55] <IpMooIng> aint just this  server getting hitt
[05:55] <dwj> hi
[05:56] <nickrud> UbuntMe: nope, you don't have the plugin installed:  sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin
[05:56] <Fyda> !hi | dwj
[05:56] <ubotu> dwj: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:56] <nickrud> Strangework: oh, well, it was a thought
[05:56] <dwj> hehe
[05:56] <IpMooIng> nickrud: how long u been using  linux
[05:56] <Strangework> nickrud: Heh, better than what I am doing.. :P
[05:56] <nickrud> IpMooIng: I switched in 2000
[05:57]  * IpMooIng sighs 2 yrs ago
[05:57] <dwj> everybody can't speak english :)
[05:57] <IpMooIng> i should been on this 15 yrs ago
[05:57] <nickrud> IpMooIng: heh, me also. I actually used minix, but totally missed linux.
[05:58] <nickrud> dwj: yup, and there's lots of language specific channels
[05:58] <IpMooIng> well given mi family background.. wish it was nix
[05:58] <dwj> ok
[05:58] <jaypro> whats a good program that plays dvds?
[05:58] <dwj> ok
[05:59] <noiesmo> jaypro, vlc player
[05:59] <nickrud> jaypro: vlc, mplayer, gxine are the most capable ones
[05:59] <jaypro> vlc? hrmm...i have that and i dont know how to open the file
[05:59] <Learning-Ubuntu> Hi all, Im trying to run a vnstat frontend on my computer so I dont have to open a terminal always for it. The first step says to confirm whether I have a working PHP setup. Im guessing I do but how would I confirm it. Does being able to browse other forums count?
[06:00] <jaypro> oh nm...i got it.. but it looks all fucked up
[06:00] <nickrud> jaypro: open vlc, and file->open disk
[06:00] <nickname6324> What are your favorite ubuntu Links?>
[06:00] <nickrud> !libdvdcss | jaypro
[06:00] <ubotu> jaypro: 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
[06:00] <nickname6324> !links
[06:00] <ubotu> Do NOT post links to Gutsy ISO files before an official release announcement is made.  These files are not the final release and will cause confusion.  Doing so will get you removed from the channel.
[06:00] <jaypro> nickrud yeah i opened it, but it looks all messed up
[06:01] <jaypro> oh okay.... thanks nickrud
[06:01] <nickrud> jaypro: you probably need libdvdcss to decrypt the disk
[06:01] <robrrr> is there somewhere i could get a default copy of: /etc/ssh/ssh_conf
[06:01] <Tanmaya> I can connect to internet via adsl but it breaks off after some time .. why ?
[06:01] <dwj> debian and unbuntu are ????
[06:01] <Strangework> nickrud: okay, I posted up a thread in the ubuntu forums
[06:01] <paragonc> whats the proper way to change the resolution in 7.10
[06:01] <Strangework> nickrud: I will check back later tomorrow, now, I am off to bed
[06:01] <Strangework> Goodnight everyone! :)
[06:02] <robrrr> good night
[06:02] <dwj> here !is morning
[06:02] <Tanmaya> here afternoon
[06:02] <nickrud> robrrr: you can get a copy of the deb on packages.ubuntu.com, and open it with archive manager
[06:02] <Learning-Ubuntu> COuld anyone tell me how to make this work http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Networking/vnstat-PHP-frontend-25160.shtml on my Ubuntu machine
[06:02] <ToddEDM> hey guys, my wife is using the Desktop upstairs, which is connected to the same wifi router as this laptop... is there a way i can send a message up to her.... without actually talking to her ;)
[06:02] <Pandemic> Hiya
[06:02] <robrrr> nickrud: thanks
[06:03] <Pandemic> Quick question: Is there a way to add the nm-applet icon to my menubar?
[06:03] <dwj> /etc/issue meaning?
[06:05] <Pandemic> Anyone know how I can add nm-applet to my menu bar?
[06:05] <nickrud> dwj: inextricably related
[06:06] <jaypro> worry nickrud, whats that link again?
[06:06] <jaypro> worry = sorry
[06:06] <nickrud> !medibuntu | jaypro (I'd do the wget stuff at the bottom)
[06:06] <ubotu> jaypro (I'd do the wget stuff at the bottom): medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[06:06] <jaypro> ahhh thanks!
[06:07] <robrrr> nickrud: im new to linux how would i download the package so it won't install, i've only ever used apt-get
[06:08] <jaypro> hrmm that wasnt the one
[06:08] <nickrud> robrrr: use these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-381bea41610683e5e26322fd7028e7aef85e3105
[06:09] <robrrr> nickrud: thanks
[06:09] <nickrud> robrrr: sorry, wrong person
[06:09] <UbuntMe> nickrud:   it dident change anything, results where the same
[06:10] <robrrr> nickrud: lol ok :)
[06:10] <nickrud> robrrr: you can do sudo apt-get install --download-only ssh-server ; the file will be in /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:11] <nickrud> UbuntMe: hrm, maybe you also need sudo update-alternatives --config java ; choose the sun one. It should be chosen automatically, though
[06:12] <cvd>  and how how to join more than one network at the same time at starttip, i want Freenode and Undernet
[06:12] <robrrr> nickrud: great thanks
[06:12] <nickrud> jaypro: the link I gave just above to robrrr , the link to help.ubuntu.com is the instructions you want
[06:13] <cvd> ?
[06:13] <nickrud> cvd, I've never tried more than one, but repeat the stuff you did with freenode?
[06:14] <cvd> ups my bad
[06:14] <Shadow147> th is line of code added to xorg.conf works Section "Extensions"    Option  "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
[06:14] <UbuntMe> nickrud:  so, what do i do?
[06:15] <Shadow147> any of the errors I got using opengl or uging wine stopped coming up
[06:15] <nickrud> UbuntMe: again, what does java -version tell you?
[06:16] <UbuntMe> java version "1.5.0_11"
[06:16] <UbuntMe> Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_11-b03)
[06:16] <UbuntMe> Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_11-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
[06:16] <regeya> meh.
[06:16] <nickrud> UbuntMe: ok, do:  sudo update-alternatives --config java  , then select the sun 1.6 you installed
[06:18] <UbuntMe> nickrud:  select what?
[06:19] <robrrr> nickrud: i've got the .deb file how to i view the contents?
[06:19] <nickrud> UbuntMe: have you run that command yet? It has instructions

[06:21] <jrib> gvsa123: by mozilla, you mean something other than firefox?
[06:21] <gvsa123> jrib: oh sorry... i mean Firefox
[06:22] <nickrud> robrrr: ah, you need to install mc , it's a text file browser. It'll open a deb package
[06:22] <robrrr> nickrud: thanks! :)
[06:22] <jrib> gvsa123: you should just need to visit a page that requires flash and click on "install" on the yellow bar that pops up
[06:22] <gvsa123> jrib: i clicked on install missing plugins and installed the adobe plugin, but i still can't view flash.. youtube for example
[06:22] <nickrud> robrrr: mc is just fantastic in a terminal
[06:22] <jrib> gvsa123: ah, when did you do this?
[06:23] <gvsa123> jrib: just last night... there were two options for plugins... i chose the adobe...
[06:23] <nickrud> UbuntMe: if you did:  sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin , yes it's there
[06:23] <MLeBlanc> Hello there, is anybody running WoW on Ubuntu?
[06:24] <jrib> gvsa123: yes, adobe released a new version so you won't be able to use the package in apt until it is updated.  For now, you can download the tar.gz from adobe and install the plugin intor ~/.mozilla/plugins/

[06:28] <LimCore> does ubuntu supoport flash?
[06:28] <nickrud> LimCore: flash, not shockwave
[06:28] <LimCore> gnash sucks,  and adobe flash (for amd64) sucks even more, both fail to play correctly youtube
[06:28] <LimCore> how to watch youtube on ubuntu amd64
[06:28] <jrib> LimCore: youtube plays fine here with flash with nspluginwrapper on amd64
[06:28] <LimCore> jrib: in firefox it says I dont have flash at all
[06:29] <ssam> i need to mount my ntfs partition
[06:29] <ssam> help
[06:29] <jrib> !ntfs > ssam (read the private message from ubotu)
[06:29] <LimCore> I clicked ffox to install it, restared, now ffox says it have flash, but still nothing plays
[06:29] <jrib> LimCore: yes, adobe released a new version so you won't be able to use the package in apt until it is updated
[06:29] <nickname6243> Hey all, is there a good program for ubuntu to make beats with?
[06:30] <jrib> !flash64 > limcore (read the private message from ubotu)
[06:30] <ssam> does 7.10 has diskmounter by default?
[06:30] <nickrud> jrib: I've been thinking about giving 64bit another chance, are there any gotcha's left?
[06:31] <jrib> LimCore: that page has manual instructions for using nspluginwrapper, just note that there is a package for nspluginwrapper in gutsy so do not convert an rpm
[06:31] <LimCore> hmm thanx jrib
[06:31] <jrib> nickrud: sun java plugin is all I can think of
[06:32] <nickrud> jrib: and that can be got around ...
[06:32] <nickname6243> IS there anyway to find the origin of my crashes/lockups?
[06:32] <jrib> nickrud: yep, that's the only thing that ubuntu does not automatically take care of for you.  There are some windows movie codecs too that you only get from w32codecs
[06:32] <nickname6243> automatix2
[06:33] <jrib> !automatix | nickname6243
[06:33] <ubotu> nickname6243: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[06:33] <nickrud> jrib: thanks
[06:33] <nickname6243> lol
[06:33] <ssam> jrib: As of Ubuntu 6.04 (Dapper Drake) there is slightly more NTFS writing support
[06:33] <ssam> through a very experimental NTFS FUSE module. Using this seems to work but
[06:33] <ssam> is NOT recommended. Do you want to use this? [no]
[06:33] <ssam> what should i do?
[06:33] <UbuntMe> nickrud:  Arg...  dident work.. Oh well, thanks for helping me.
[06:34] <jrib> ssam: umm, there is no such thing as 6.04.  What docs are these exactly?  And what version of ubuntu are you using?
[06:34] <ssam> 7.10
[06:34] <ssam> id mount it manually if ud guide me
[06:34] <nickrud> my favorite text substitution: w f m -> Worked For Me™
[06:35] <onats> does anyone know how i can change X resolution in command prompt?
[06:35] <ssam> but i am using diskmounter
[06:35] <jrib> ssam: and my first question?
[06:35] <ssam> i dont understand what docs?
[06:35] <ssam> could u ellaborate place
[06:35] <jrib> ssam: where did you read what you just pasted
[06:35] <jrib> ?
[06:35] <ssam> oh
[06:35] <ssam> terminal
[06:35] <ssam> the link u sent me
[06:35] <jrib> !enter | ssam
[06:35] <ubotu> ssam: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:36] <ssam> said cd wget http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/scripts/diskmounter
[06:36] <jrib> ssam: just use ntfs-config
[06:36] <jrib> !ntfs-3g > ssam (read the private message from ubotu)
[06:36] <ssam> its not showing...the partitions are not visible
[06:36] <jrib> ssam: with ntfs-config?
[06:36] <linxuz3r_> sup guys
[06:37] <ssam> dont know about that just letting you know the partitions are not visible....
[06:37] <jrib> ssam: visible where?
[06:37] <ssam> on ubuntu i cant see them let alone access them
[06:37] <shishio> guys, i am currently installing Flash on my Mozilla and it has two options which will i pick: the Gnash SWF player or the Adobe Flash player... ?
[06:37] <jrib> ssam: where are you looking
[06:37] <jrib> !who | ssam
[06:37] <ubotu> ssam: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[06:38] <shishio> guys, i am currently installing Flash on my Mozilla and it has two options which will i pick: the Gnash SWF player or the Adobe Flash player... ?
[06:38] <ssam> jrib: i cant seemt o see my partitions on ubuntu GUI though fdisk -l makes them visible on the terminal there not mounted it says
[06:38] <nickname6243> Hey you know wha't sucks?
[06:39] <jrib> shishio: no need to repeat.  gnash is open source and adobe is the official adobe one.  Trying to install adobe's at the moment will probably fail, so if you want that one, you should download the tar.gz from adobe and install it manually to ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[06:39] <jrib> ssam: ok, use ntfs-config then
[06:39] <ssam> alright
[06:39] <gvsa124> jrib: what was that path
[06:39] <jrib> gvsa124: path for?
[06:39] <gvsa124> jrib: oh there you go.. someone has the same problem as i do
[06:39] <shishio> jrib: so i can choose the adobe flash player riht>?
[06:39] <shishio> rught*?
[06:39] <gvsa124> jrib: the mozilla plugin
[06:40] <ssam> jrib: one more thing.......do you know how to compile a code?
[06:40] <gvsa124> jrib: do i have to uninstall the adobe i got from the plugin finder?
[06:40] <jrib> shishio: I just said it will probably not work at the moment because adobe has a new version and the package has not been updated.  But you can try of course.  I recommend installing manually to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ until the package is updated.
[06:41] <shishio> jrib: okey
[06:41] <jrib> gvsa124: doesn't matter, but if you leave it installed, you will be notified of the updated package when it arrives
[06:41] <jrib> !compile > ssam (read the private message from ubotu)
[06:41] <ssam> thanks
[06:41] <jrib> ssam: it is very rare that you will need to compile something on ubuntu
[06:42] <gvsa124> jrib: even if i manually install the flash player 9... it will update and fix itself automatically?
[06:42] <cocox> does anybody has the link to "fashion desktops" in ubuntu forums?? i used to but now is lost i have been searching and i cant found it
[06:43] <ozzloy> can i get some help with this please: http://rafb.net/p/Akimen65.html  ??
[06:43] <jrib> gvsa124: the package installs to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/.  You will install manually to ~/.mozilla/plugins/.  Firefox will prefer the one in ~
[06:43] <ssam> jrib: i need to convert flv to avi there is a site which said this is the code save it as as a file.sh and all that
[06:43] <ozzloy> screen resolution changing messed up compiz, please help
[06:43] <ozzloy> ?
[06:43] <gvsa124> jrib: i see... thanks a lot
[06:43] <jrib> ssam: that's a shell script, you don't compile it
[06:43] <ssam> jrib: then what do i do?
[06:44] <xyvuoeua> argh! pirates. i need some help. i've been toiling for an hour now and i can't get vlc to play back this fricken wmv trailer. it's wierd because it plays in beos but not on linux.
[06:45] <jrib> ssam: I would recommend opening it in a text editor and reading it first to make sure it is safe.  You can execute it by making it executable first (chmod +x FILENAME.sh) and then executing it (./FILENAME.sh).  Or, just have the shell read it (sh FILENAME.sh).  You need to be in the directory where FILENAME.sh is located
[06:45] <jrib> !cli > ssam (read the private message from ubotu)
[06:45] <cocox> does anybody has the link to "fashion desktops" in ubuntu forums?? i used to but now is lost i have been searching and i cant found it
[06:45] <jrib> ssam: make sure you read the extra links at the bottom

[06:50] <subzero800> I need help
[06:50] <chief> hi, I installed ubuntu sound studio, it install another kernel ( I think judging from the grub menu ), but when it boots into xorg it crashes any idea why? considering it should be using the xorg.conf that I'm using now which is functional.
[06:50] <subzero800> How do I install 3 packages at once and ignore dependancy errors?
[06:50] <rabi> subzero800: yah
[06:50] <subzero800> rabi: if they are all downloaded to a directory
[06:50] <rabi> subzero800: sudo apt-get install package1 package2 package3
[06:51] <rabi> subzero800: do they depend upon each other?
[06:51] <subzero800> yes
[06:51] <syndr0> would anyone be able to tell me why im having problem with flash on browsers?
[06:52] <syndr0> would having an olde computer make a difference?
[06:52] <syndr0> i mean mine can run flash well it did before
[06:52] <rabi> subzero800: then you install these three package seperately, "sudo dpkg -i package", ignore dependency problem for a while.
[06:52] <syndr0> but now on firefox it cause it to freeze ubuntu
[06:52] <rabi> subzero800: then finally you give a command "sudo apt-get -f install".
[06:52] <syndr0> and on and konqueror loads flash but it doesnt play correctly
[06:53] <rabi> subzero800: it will install these three package and manage dependency.
[06:53] <subzero800> rabi, thanks
[06:53] <chief> can I have kde & gnome, on the same system ? (gnome was installed first)
[06:53] <Darius08x> I'm trying to install a LAMP server on ubuntu 7.10 desktop edition. When I sudo apt-get apache2 it says "E: INvalid operation apache2" Wut am I doing wrong. Is there an easier way to download everything I want with just a single command or something?

[06:54] <cewe-xk> hauiki

[07:00] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:00] <autarkis> Ubuntu stalls on the loading screen (for the livecd/initial install).
[07:00] <autarkis> Thoughts?
[07:00] <nickname6243> what ubuntu? what specs?
[07:01] <autarkis> It's when the cursor is going back and forth (like Kit in KnightRider)
[07:01] <autarkis> Newest desktop from the website.
[07:01] <chief> can I have kde & gnome, on the same system ? (gnome was installed first)
[07:01] <nickname6243> what an unclear analogy
[07:01] <autarkis> 1 sec

[07:01] <ketrox> chief, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:01] <nickname6243> not running at the same time tho
[07:01] <autarkis> That version.
[07:01] <chief> ketrox : that will give me both ?
[07:02] <nickname6243> okay, what is inside the box?
[07:02] <racarter> what is the iptables command to turn off firewalls?

[07:09] <mediahunter> anyone here think they may be able to help
[07:09] <FunnyLookinHat> mediahunter, your best bet with something like that is probably to search ubuntuforums.org or google around.

[07:14] <spongebob> hi does anyone here knows a good .kar and .midi player for ubuntu that supports "channel" editing. I know pykaraoke exists and it's a good one but you can't edit or view the channelds. KMid exists but to tell you guys the truth it's crappy and useless pykaraoke are a lot better but i'm lookin for midi/kar player that supports channel viewing and editing.
[07:14] <mediahunter> how do i turn on a kernel module
[07:14] <cvd> i have to ask to ask a question or just ask?
[07:14] <GOdFAThe1> just ask
[07:14] <ketrox> mediahunter, modprobe i guess
[07:14] <sunogbaga> thnx ketrox.. suddenly.. apt worked again...
[07:14] <Darius08x> That did it for me, thank you ketrox
[07:15] <mediahunter> what would be the command string tho
[07:15] <mediahunter> is is acer-acpi that is the module
[07:15] <ketrox> modprobe module_name

[07:15] <indhu> hello sir , how to connect the projector
[07:16] <gwark> my intel wireless chipset recognises and works under 704, but not 710.  does anyone know how to fix this please ?
[07:16] <GOdFAThe1> Does anyone know why a program would tell me there is no hardware acceleration in the terminal when executing the program?
[07:16] <indhu> here im not able to connect the projector, when im connecting it is in black
[07:16] <indhu> so give me an idea over the connection of projector
[07:17] <gwark> fuckit im going back to 704.
[07:17] <mediahunter> can someone please help me get my atheros wifi card to work
[07:17] <slytherin> Is anybody able to install anjuta in gutsy?
[07:17] <pg> indhu: usually the projector cable ends with a jack that is similar to a monitor cable jack.  Plug it in where you would usually plug in a monitor cable into the computer
[07:18] <spongebob> slytherin : i did
[07:18] <rabi> slytherin: sudo apt-get install anjuta. or you can just install it from add/remove programs
[07:18] <pg> indhu: then with some computers you have to push Fn+F7
[07:19] <slytherin> spongebob: Fro official repositories? I am getting error.
 : what error?
[07:19] <slytherin> rabi: Thanks. I know how to install packages. Problem is beyond that point.
[07:19] <slytherin> spongebob: Package anjuta has no installation candidate
[07:20] <aantn> !python
[07:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about python - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:20] <sunogbaga> slytherin: add repositories
[07:20] <netsrot> GOdFAThe1: yes I have installed q3 a few times in linux.
[07:20] <pg> mediahunter: have you checked that it is supported - see the list linked from the Networking & Wireless sectio fo the Ubuntu forums
 :  maybe there's no link for the package fro the repo
[07:20] <Darius08x> Hmm. Sudo apt-get install apache2 didn't work. It was saying could not find package or something. I googled the program made a apt.conf file, and now it says E: syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf:2: Extra junk at end of file.
[07:20] <slytherin> sunogbaga: I have all repositories active.
[07:21] <Darius08x> What exactly am I suppose to put there?
 :  got to the anjuta website and copy their repository address
[07:21] <mediahunter> supported by wht utilites
[07:21] <mediahunter> it is supported by both ndiwrapper and madwifi
[07:21] <mediahunter> i just cna not get it to work
[07:21] <slytherin> spongebob: Yes, I can do that. I was just wondering is this is known bug.
[07:21] <ketrox> Darius08x, you messed your apt.conf
[07:22] <Darius08x> D: ketrox I didn't have a apt.conf before.
[07:22] <Darius08x> unless it's hidden
[07:22] <Darius08x> >.>
 :  no it only happens if the link to package is broken try sudo apt-get update
[07:22] <sunogbaga> slytherin: did you apt-get upgrade?
[07:22] <sunogbaga> i mean update
[07:23] <pg> Darius08x: Which versio of Ubuntu are you using?
[07:23] <nickrud> Darius08x: not hidden, just parted out in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d . Delete the apt.conf you created, run sudo apt-get install apache2 again, and paste the complete error on paste.ubuntu-nl.org
 : sunog baga ka dyan
[07:23] <Darius08x> pg:  7.10 desktop edition

 : shhhhh secret
[07:24] <mediahunter> so no help
[07:24] <penguincentral> hi.  my monitor is 1280x1024, yet my screen res is 1792x1344 and it won't change.  Any ideas?
[07:24] <slytherin> sunogbaga: Found the problem. I had some preferences set in /etc/apt/preferences regards to anjuta. Looks like they got carried from feisty when I was using their repository instead of official repository
[07:24] <pg> Darius08x: then you should not need an apt.conf file.  apache2 is in the repositories.
[07:24] <sunogbaga> spongebob: cge.. pm
[07:25] <Darius08x> pg:  I'm just doing what googled said. I deleted the file now though. It still says reading package lists, bulding tree..reading state info, then goes to say E: couldn't find package apache2
 : you did the dist upgrade from feisty to gutsy?
[07:25] <BobSapp> this is strange, normally ubuntu says it cant find the nvidia kernel driver, but when i boot into rescue mode it can startx?
[07:26] <pg> mediahunter: do you have madwifi module loaded and ndiswrapper unloaded?
[07:26] <slytherin> spongebob: Yes, I did
 : the anjuta website has an info and there's is a particular file you need to delete as it is no longer needed check their website for more info
[07:26] <nickrud> Darius08x: applications->add/remove, preferences button, make sure all the sources are ticked. Then, close, close, and try the install again
[07:27] <mediahunter> nither
[07:27] <mediahunter> i was trying the acer-apci
[07:27] <mediahunter> acer-acpi
[07:27] <mediahunter> i mean
[07:27] <mediahunter> it does not seem to work or i can not fig it out
[07:27] <GOdFAThe1> does anyone know how to install the latest ATI mobility drivers?
[07:27] <slytherin> spongebob: Yes. Solved my problem. Thanks for all the help.
[07:28] <mediahunter> so the next best thing i guess madwifi is beter then ndiswrapper
[07:28] <spongebob> hi does anyone here knows a good .kar and .midi player for ubuntu that supports "channel" editing. I know pykaraoke exists and it's a good one but you can't edit or view the channelds. KMid exists but to tell you guys the truth it's crappy and useless pykaraoke are a lot better but i'm lookin for midi/kar player that supports channel viewing and editing.
[07:28] <parth> hello i wanted to create a custom distro of mine
[07:28] <parth> using gutsy
[07:29] <lazarus_lupine> what do you have in mind?

[07:29] <ketrox> GOdFAThe1, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[07:29] <Darius08x> nickrud: Thank you, that did it. Nothing in there was checked at all
[07:29] <sunogbaga> slytherin: can u search the package using synaptic.., this problem happens if apt cannot find the package

[07:30] <sunogbaga> ooops solved
[07:30] <scottux> helloo
[07:30] <parth> Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)

[07:31] <scottux> anyone here familiar with NAS usage under linux?
[07:31] <pg> mediahunter: then install the madwifi-tools package, load the module (I guess "modprobe madwifi" or something) and try again
[07:31] <Darius08x> Ok, I'll look at it some, thank you.
[07:31] <mediahunter> ok
[07:31] <indhu> here im not able to connect the projector, when im connecting it is in black please
[07:31] <mediahunter> i will give it a try
[07:32] <scottux> doesn't anyone know enough about NAS usage enough to want to help me?
[07:32] <scottux> please?
[07:32] <pg> My thinkpad laptop no longer suspends or hybernates since a few days ago.  Here is the relevant part of /var/log/messages: http://pastebin.com/da0447de  .  I suppose some upgrade caused this.  How can I fix it?
[07:33] <thor> scottux no one has any idea what your problem is...so how can we know if we can help?
[07:33] <pg> scottux: what is NAS?
[07:33] <scottux> Network accessable storage
[07:33] <scottux> sorry
[07:33] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> enough with the incest talk, I'm going to bed!
[07:33] <parth>  hello i wanted to create a custom distro of mine using gutsy i used the method suggested on  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization whenever i try to install a package it gives me an error saying Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)
[07:34] <pg> scottux: describe your problem and if someone knows they will help you
[07:34] <GOdFAThe1> ketrox:  The terminal says I am using software acceleration innstead of hardware after I run those commands, any thoughts?
[07:34] <scottux> anywho, my problem is not at all with using my network accessible storage drive, more with how to figure out what the ip address it is
[07:34] <scottux> from there I think I could figure my own way out of my problems
[07:35] <ketrox> GOdFAThe1, you used  method1 or method2 ?
[07:35] <GOdFAThe1> method1
[07:35] <thor> scottux you can see the ip address of the server by opening a terminal and typing 'ifconfig' at the prompt
[07:35] <thor> scottux but you should really set a static ip address for an NAS server
[07:35] <scottux> such as ifconfig eth0(my ethernet)
[07:35] <ketrox> GOdFAThe1, try the scond the first wont install the lastest drivers
[07:36] <scottux> thor: I don't exactly know how to do so...any pointers?
[07:36] <GOdFAThe1> ok brb
[07:36] <sunogbaga> scottux: ifconfig
[07:36] <pg> scottux: see thor's messages
[07:36] <GOdFAThe1> ketrox: is there a way to get a device listing in linux?
[07:37] <rabi> hello everybody, i am facing problem installing flash.
[07:37] <scottux> so, ifconfig --help and sort it out, or what
[07:37] <ketrox> GOdFAThe1, lspco lsusb
[07:37] <rabi> is anybody there who can help?
[07:37] <ketrox> GOdFAThe1, lspci lsusb
[07:37] <pg> !justask | rabi
[07:37] <ubotu> rabi: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:38] <pg> My thinkpad laptop no longer suspends or hybernates since a few days ago.  Here is the relevant part of /var/log/messages: http://pastebin.com/da0447de  .  I suppose some upgrade caused this.  How can I fix it?
[07:38] <Noir__> Hey
[07:38] <rabi> pg: I am facing problem installing flash.
[07:38] <GOdFAThe1> ketrox: the device profile says VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M52 [Mobility Radeon X1300]
[07:39] <GOdFAThe1> ketrox:  I wonder why I am getting a MESA issue when trying to run a program?
[07:39] <Noir__> Anyways I can't seem to install 7.10 it tell me "can't display video mode" or something I looked up online and it told me it was a monitor issue
[07:39] <alvin> hi
[07:39] <Noir__> Can anyone confirm the alternative cd will let me install?
[07:39] <ketrox> GOdFAThe1, what gives u fglrxinfo ?
[07:39] <shishio> guys, any idea how can in open and play .exe files??
[07:39] <pg> rabi: can you be a bit more specific?  What flash - a flash player, a flash plugin to mozilla?  Which one?  How are you trying and what is the problem?
[07:40] <GOdFAThe1> ketrox: it says its not installed
[07:40] <pg> shishio: install the wine package
[07:40] <ketrox> GOdFAThe1,  then install using the guide
[07:40] <ketrox> :)
[07:40] <shishio> pg: where can i get wine package
[07:40] <GOdFAThe1> ketrox:  ok brb
[07:40] <Noir__> package manager
[07:40] <rabi> pg: flashplugin-nonfree, when i install it, it downloads flahs.....tar.gz file from server and says md5 checksum error. or something.
[07:40] <ketrox> shishio, sudo apt-get install wine
[07:40] <scottux> ifconfig isn't giving me any useful ip addresses. I have a wireless card (internet connection) and a gigabit ethernet card connected directly to my NAS server
[07:41] <shishio> kk ill try
[07:41] <sunogbaga> scottux: ifconfig.. find the line that says inet addr.
[07:41] <thor> scottux are you running ifconfig on the server?
[07:41] <shishio> ketrox: after installing how do i use this?
[07:42] <sunogbaga> scottux: do this on the remote machine
[07:42] <ketrox> shishio, wine somefile.exe
[07:42] <scottux> inet6 addr has a funky hex code, not a familiar ip address
[07:42] <sunogbaga> shishio: wine config
[07:43] <scottux> sunobaga: the remote machine is a self contained linux based NAS drive. no screen, no ssh, just an ethernet port
[07:43] <sunogbaga> shishio: wine <file.exe>
[07:43] <shishio> ketrox: do i need to locate the file location on that ?
[07:43] <sunogbaga> ow
[07:43] <scottux> *sunogbaga
[07:43] <shishio> sunogbaga: same to u
[07:44] <pg> shishio: from the repositories.  From the system menu, choose System -> Administration -> Synaptic package manager.  Then from the list of packages, find "wine" and install it.
[07:44] <thor> scottux do you have the docs on the drive? There should be a way to address the box to configure it...maybe via a web interface?
[07:44] <pg> rabi: tell me exactly what it says
[07:44] <sunogbaga> shishio: are you running an installer?
[07:44] <scottux> thor: yes, web interface is the usual method, but typically that's accessed via windows machine at address \\mybookworld\
[07:45] <scottux> thor: and I can't manage to get there from linux
[07:45] <rabi> pg: it downloads: the file from server, then says md5 checksum error, flashplugin-nonfree not installed.
[07:45] <shishio> sunogbaga: i am trying to run one of my windows xp programs
[07:45] <GOdFAThe1> ketrox: ok lol I did the flgrxinfo and it reloaded my session lol
[07:45] <sunogbaga> scottux: can you access it using windows box? via web interface?
[07:46] <sunogbaga> shishio: i suggest you install it first using wine
[07:46] <Player> What DNS server software is recommended for someone with simple needs on Ubuntu 7.10?
[07:46] <thor> scottux if that is what you are using in windows it should work in linux...assuming you are on the same network
[07:46] <lazarus_lupine> rabi, have you tried apt-get remove --purge flash-plugin-nonfree and then reinstalling?
[07:46] <scottux> sunogbaga: ultimately if it comes to that, I suppose. I was attempting to leave the awful thing behind completely
[07:46] <sunogbaga> shishio: run wine <installer.exe>
[07:46] <scottux> thor: I am. The same computer even.
[07:46] <thor> scottux if nothing else, you should be able to ping mybookworld and find the address
[07:46] <slytherin> Player: dnsmasq
[07:46] <GOdFAThe1> ketrox: I assume that is what is supposed to happen eh?
[07:46] <rabi> lazarus_lupine: yah i tried it, but not succeed.
[07:46] <Player> slytherin, thanks
[07:46] <shishio> sunogbaga: are you pinoy? can u help me
[07:46] <lazarus_lupine> hmm
[07:46] <scottux> thor: i"ll give that a shot
[07:46] <owen1> I am trying to connect to my ubuntu via vnc viewer (Preferences->Remote Desktop). I get "connection refused". any ideas?
[07:47] <sunogbaga> shishio: yes
[07:47] <shishio> sunogbaga: hay salamat
[07:47] <sunogbaga> shishio: pm me
[07:47] <scottux> thor: simply "ping mybookworld" in terminal?
[07:47] <thor> owen1 did you set a vnc password (vncpasswd)
[07:48] <eggroll> Hello
[07:48] <shishio> sunogbaga: hmm... are you still there
[07:48] <owen1> thor: yes, but got the same error (in the vnc, i only have field for ip. where do u enter this password?)
[07:48] <scottux> hello eggroll
[07:48] <thor> scottux  right....it should return the ip address
[07:48] <rabi> is there any method to install manually Adobe Flash Player?
[07:49] <scottux> unfortunately it returns: "unknown host mybookworld"
[07:49] <sunogbaga> scottux: should your device supposedly has a default ip when connecting to a network?? (just a guess)
[07:49] <shishio> rabi: i got the same problem too
[07:49] <thor> owen1 you will be prompted for the password when you connect
[07:49] <sunogbaga> shishio: yes i am
[07:49] <shishio> sunogbaga: reply ka naman pm ko
[07:49] <sunogbaga> shishio: what software are u using?
[07:49] <owen1> thor: I get "connection refused" immediately.
[07:49] <spongebob> hi does anyone here knows a good .kar and .midi player for ubuntu that supports "channel" editing. I know pykaraoke exists and it's a good one but you can't edit or view the channelds. KMid exists but to tell you guys the truth it's crappy and useless pykaraoke are a lot better but i'm lookin for midi/kar player that supports channel viewing and editing.
[07:49] <sunogbaga> shishio: registered ka ba? i can't receive you p
[07:49] <owen1> thor: (with or without password)
[07:49] <scottux> sunogbaga: supposedly, yes.
[07:50] <shishio> sunogbaga: im non registered...
[07:50] <rabi> can we install flalsh player by converting rpm package into deb package?
[07:50] <thor> owen1, are you running the vncserver on the ubuntu computer, and are you using the right ip address
[07:50] <owen1> thor: maybe i need to add a port?
[07:50] <thor> owen1 and do you have 590x open to the ubuntu box
[07:50] <owen1> thor: i went to preferences->remote desktop. is it enough?
[07:50] <thor> owen1 if you are using :1 for the server you need port 5901 open
[07:50] <sunogbaga> shishio: wat software are you trying to run?
[07:51] <pg> rabi: the deb package jsut downloads the file from Adobe and installs it.  The message you got was that the file was not downloaded correctly.
 : actually you can just copy the xpi and other .so to mozilla plugins dir
[07:51] <Noir56> Whats faster ndiswrapper or the built in drivers in the kernel?
[07:51] <sunogbaga> scottux: but?
[07:51] <shishio> sunogbaga: im trying to run Silkroad online on ubuntu
[07:51] <owen1> thor: i didn't understand your last comment...if i am using what>
[07:51] <owen1> thor: ?
[07:51] <rabi> spongebob: can't we install from rpm package, i.e. in adobe site?
[07:52] <thor> owen1 how did you start the vncserver in ubuntu?
[07:52] <scottux> well, I don't exactly know what that address is
[07:52] <sunogbaga> shishio: install silkroad first using wine.. wine <installer.exe>
[07:52] <grindcore> http://www.trosch.org/lif/cannibalism.html   this is bad. they dont know what they want to eat
[07:52] <scottux> sunogbaga i don't have a clue what it is
 : you can't ... you have to convert rpm to deb try sudo alien --script yourplayer.rpm
[07:52] <owen1> thor: preferences->remote desktop. i checked a few checkboxes
[07:52] <owen1> thor: am i missing something?
[07:52] <scottux> sunogbaga and thor: I'm trying to figure out what the default might be.
[07:52] <shishio> sunogbaga: okey
[07:52] <thor> owen1 in a terminal type 'ps ax | grep vnc' and see if vnc is running
[07:52] <sunogbaga> scottux: the manufacturer should have docs for this
[07:52] <owen1> thor: ok, 1 sec
[07:53] <pg> rabi: an rpm package would probably do the same thing, though I'm not sure.  You can download the installation file yourself from Adobe and install it, but then you have to remember that it is installed, where it is installed and what version it is/
[07:53] <shishio> sunogbaga: u have a YM>? can i pm u in YM>? OMG thanks i finaly seen pinoy on ubuntu
[07:53] <sunogbaga> shishio: erwin003
[07:53] <rabi> spogebob: yah i will convert it to deb
[07:53] <scottux> sunogbaga: they do, but I swear they're the worst docs you could possibly ask for
[07:53] <owen1> thor: yes.
[07:53] <pg> My thinkpad laptop no longer suspends or hybernates since a few days ago.  Here is the relevant part of /var/log/messages: http://pastebin.com/da0447de  .  I suppose some upgrade caused this.  How can I fix it?
[07:53] <spongebob> shishio : papatayin kita kaya magtago ka na
[07:53] <owen1> thor: 19733 pts/0    R+     0:00 grep vnc
[07:53] <spongebob> lolz
[07:53] <sunogbaga> scottux: well you will just need the IP
[07:53] <Player> slytherin, I'm just running an email server with no DNS, no caching, etc. is dnsmasq appropriate for me?
[07:54] <shishio> sunogbaga: hahaha
[07:54] <owen1> thor: do i need to open a port on my router?
[07:54] <sunogbaga> shishio: bakit?
[07:54] <thor> owen1 you aren't running vncserver in ubuntu. In a terminal type 'vncserver :1'
[07:54] <owen1> thor: ok
[07:55] <scottux> sunogbaga: right. I can actually access the drive via samba (i.e. smb:\\mybookworld\public or through System > Administration > Network and navigating through the Windows Network
[07:55] <thor> owen1 then try to access the computer remotely again
[07:56] <sunogbaga> scottux: what else would you like to do with the device?
[07:56] <owen1> thor: it asks me to install one of the following: thightvncserver, vnc4server or vncserver. which one should i install
[07:56] <owen1> thor: ?
[07:56] <spongebob> vnc4server
[07:57] <GOdFAThe1> can anyone help me with hardware acceleration?
[07:57] <spongebob> install both vnc and vnc4
[07:57] <owen1> spongebob: ok
[07:57] <scottux> if I can get the ip address, I can connect and enable ssh, and from there install php or rtorrent or any other number of neat self contained apps
[07:57] <spongebob> scottux : yes.... you can
[07:58] <scottux> sunogbaga: and I'd like to

[08:06] <rabi> shishio: then give browser path to /usr/lib/firefox
[08:06] <shishio> rabi: sudo what?
[08:06] <rabi> shishio: it will automatically install.
[08:06] <shishio> i have upt it on desktop lol
[08:07] <rabi> shishio: sudo ./flashplayer-installer
[08:07] <nanotalk> hi, I have a standard ubuntu desktop cd; is it possible to install using text-mode?
[08:07] <shishio> rabi: flash installer is in my desktop
[08:08] <rabi> extract it.
[08:08] <rabi> shishio: extract it.
[08:08] <bullgard4> "detlef@MD97600:~$ s2ram; bash: s2ram: command not found" although the uswsusp package is installed. Why does Gutsy provide no program package which includes s2ram?
[08:09] <shishio> rabi: i have done extracting it
[08:10] <rabi> shishio: then point to extracted folder from terminal.
[08:11] <zewb> hey
[08:11] <zewb> how do you get a mouse cursor in the command line
[08:11] <zewb> i forgot what you need to do it
[08:11] <mediahunter> anyone have any thoughts on geubuntu
[08:11] <mediahunter> or linuxMint
[08:12] <zewb> im using arch
[08:12] <zewb> you don't really learn a lot about linux using ubuntu
[08:12] <shishio> rabi: point extracted folder? like how?
[08:12] <zewb> but yeah
[08:12] <rabi> shishio: do you have extracted it in desktop?
[08:12] <zewb> does anyone know how to get a mouse cursor in the command line?
[08:13] <shishio> rabi: yes; how can i point the extracted folder to the desktop
[08:14] <rabi> shishio: if it is in desktop, then go to terminal and type "cd /Desktop/install_flashplayer_9_linux/"
[08:14] <slytherin> Player: In that case you will need another DNS. Sorry I misunderstood your requirement
[08:14] <mediahunter> can anyone tell me how good LinuxMint or GeUbuntu are
[08:15] <slytherin> mediahunter: What is GeUbuntu?
[08:15] <mediahunter> it is a distro of Linux that is compiled of of Ubuntu using Enligtment for the Desktop evirment
[08:15] <mediahunter> and gnome
[08:15] <mediahunter> mixed
[08:15] <shishio> rabi: done then what?
[08:16] <zewb> anyone know how to get a mouse cursor
[08:16] <mediahunter> i really wish i can get dreamlinux to work but i can not fig out the partion part
[08:16] <mediahunter> not to user friendly on the install
[08:17] <rabi> then type the command $ sudo ./flashplayer-installer
[08:17] <pg> My thinkpad laptop no longer suspends or hybernates since a few days ago.  Here is the relevant part of /var/log/messages: http://pastebin.com/da0447de  .  I suppose some upgrade caused this.  How can I fix it?
[08:17] <rabi> shishio: then type the command $ sudo ./flashplayer-installer
[08:18] <bullgard4> zewb: Ubuntu provides a mouse cursor automatically. If it is not provided on your system, consult the dmesg messages for relvant errors.
[08:18] <bullgard4> relevant
[08:18] <zewb> ok
[08:18] <zewb> im not using ubuntu
[08:18] <AgentHeX> anyone know where the config option is to see "shutdown" and "restart" in the "Quit..." section of the "System" menu?
[08:19] <pg> !anyone | AgentHex
[08:19] <ubotu> AgentHex: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:20] <AgentHeX> i used to see them, but now I don't.  both suspend and hibernation don't work, and luckily i have shutdown mapped to my power button or i would be bringing up the console and typing sudo /sbin/shutdown or reboot
[08:20] <AgentHeX> pg: that WAS my question
[08:20] <zeay> help witrh sound card
[08:20] <slytherin> AgentHeX: you should see them by default. What did you change to make them invisible?
[08:20] <shishio> rabi:sudo: ./flashplayer-installer: command not found
[08:21] <slytherin> zeay: State your question
[08:21] <bullgard4> AgentHeX: Normally, they are to be seen there in the lower right. If not so on your system, then there is an error. Try to find an error in kern.log.
[08:21] <slytherin> shishio: Are you trying to install flashplugin?
[08:21] <zeay> cannot detect my sound card but if i type lspci it states ali corp m5455
[08:21] <AgentHeX> slytherin: i don't know.  i don't remember changing any setting that have to do with that.  i've been fiddling with my power options panel, but i never saw an option for that, and i've looked there.
[08:21] <shishio> slytherin:yes
[08:21] <RantingHuman> hey zewb, pop by the FR channel sometime, will ya ;)
[08:21] <rabi> shishio: don't sudo: ./flashplayer-installer, only sudo ./flashplayer-installer
[08:22] <slytherin> shishio: Why not install flashplugin-nonfree from repositories?
[08:22] <AgentHeX> it's just when i hit System->Quit..., i don't see options for restart or shutdown.  i have log out, lock, suspend, hibernate, and one more i can't remember, but i can't see shutdown or restart
[08:22] <bullgard4> "detlef@MD97600:~$ s2ram; bash: s2ram: command not found" although the uswsusp package is installed. Why does Gutsy provide no program package which includes s2ram?
[08:22] <shishio> rabi: command not found
[08:22] <AgentHeX> slytherin: we've been experiencing problems from adobe's nonfree plugin.  there was an old version floating around here recently, lemme check my chat logs and i'll see if i can find it
[08:23] <GOdFAThe1> Does anyone know the command string to rename a file?
[08:23] <pg> AgentHex: I've never seen syspend or hybernate under the system menu.  They always appear under the power applet, thought.  You can make that appear in your panel from System -> Preferences -> Power options -> General
[08:23] <bullgard4> GOdFAThe1: mv
[08:23] <rabi> shishio: ohhh. can you go to the extracted folder?
[08:23] <shishio> rabi: ok
[08:23] <rabi> just go there.

[08:24] <slytherin> zeay: Can you paste output of lspci somewhere?

[08:25] <slytherin> zeay: Can you access internet from Ubuntu?
[08:25] <owen1> when running vncserver :1  I get "fonts error"   any ideas?
[08:25] <zeay> yup
[08:25] <slytherin> eNons3nse: What is there to help?
[08:26] <AgentHeX> eNons3nse: you should have a network icon in the top right.  click that and manually configure.
[08:26] <slytherin> zeay: Then copy output of lspci command and paste it at pastebin.com
[08:26] <owen1> how do i run vnc server on ubuntu?

[08:31] <ahoj> morning guys. Got a big problem. After an accidental hard shutdown, my ubuntu won't boot, it crashes to BusyBox. Any help available?
[08:31] <FluxD> CyberMad: normal is not to fancy extra is really fancy
[08:31] <CyberMad> slytherin use Extra ?
[08:31] <CyberMad> oh
[08:31] <eNons3nse> AgentHeX: I'm at the static IP configure screen.  how do i know what to put in for IP, Mask & Gateway
[08:31] <CyberMad> ok thanks..
[08:31] <FluxD> CyberMad: if u install ccsm there is another option u will see
[08:31] <AgentHeX> owen1: iono. it appears that vncserver has a ton of dependencies.  did it download a poopload of stuff?
[08:32] <owen1> AgentHeX: no. it's amazing. why is it so hard to connect remotely to Ubuntu machine????
[08:32] <ahoj> is there any possibility of booting the original ubuntu?
[08:32] <owen1> AgentHeX: it's not user friendly..
[08:32] <slytherin> CyberMad: Try normal first.
[08:33] <CyberMad> hmm.. after choosing Extra, i got "Desktop effects could not be enabled" :(  ?
[08:33] <lht> Hi all. How do I check my graphics type version details etc ?
[08:33] <changer_> ...
[08:33] <CyberMad> FluxD apt-get install ccsm ?
[08:33] <FluxD> !ccsm | CyberMad
[08:33] <ubotu> CyberMad: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[08:34] <AgentHeX> eNons3nse: you probably want some IP on your local network.  i.e. 192.168.0.x where the subnet mask is typically 255.255.255.0 for class C networks (i.e. 99% of home networks) and the gateway is your router's IP address (where the port is being forwarded from)
[08:34] <ahoj> any help with this busybox stuff?
[08:34] <AgentHeX> owen1: did you try looking at system->preferences->remote desktop?
[08:34] <FluxD> CyberMad: then u dont have compiz support
[08:35] <CyberMad> FluxD how to enable it?
[08:35] <AgentHeX> owen1: if all you wanted was console access, look into sshd
[08:35] <AgentHeX> !sshd
[08:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sshd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:35] <FluxD> CyberMad: what card?
[08:35] <AgentHeX> BAH!  what kind of helper bot is this?

[08:36] <AgentHeX> Gropi: launchpad.net ?
[08:37] <Gropi> AgentHeX: The is reported on launchpad for various releases but is being ignored. Basically most Samsung Laptops are not usable with Ubuntu.
[08:37] <CyberMad> I see on Device Manager, Radeon 9200 SE
[08:37] <Gropi> bug
[08:38] <CyberMad> RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE]
[08:38] <AgentHeX> Gropi: not sure about bugtracker etiquette, but i'd probably create a login and subscribe to the bug (if not post your problem on the bug's page).  it will be assessed eventually.
[08:38] <FluxD> CyberMad: my radeon 9200 works but not sure what that SE is
[08:39] <AgentHeX> SE is the low-end edition of the card
[08:39] <CyberMad> does compiz automatically installed and active when install ubuntu 7.10 ?
[08:39] <Gropi> AgentHeX: Of course. I all did this. Others did too. But the bug is not processed. The bug fixing process seems to be totally broken from my point of view. Whom can I talk to?
[08:39] <AgentHeX> CyberMad: no.  you have to enable extra effects once the restricted driver is installed
[08:40] <CyberMad> AgentHeX how to enable it?
[08:40] <AgentHeX> Gropi: don't know.  what's the link to the bug?
[08:40] <pg> My thinkpad laptop no longer suspends or hybernates since a few days ago.  Here is the relevant part of /var/log/messages: http://pastebin.com/da0447de  .  I suppose some upgrade caused this.  How can I fix it?

[08:41] <Jockeo> I downloaded a gdm login manager theme from art.gnome.org and installed it into ubuntu using gdmsetup. However the theme doesn't show up in the list of themes. I get the following terminal output when installing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47192/ If I try to install it again, it sais that the theme is already installed. Any ideas about what's wrong?
[08:41] <xeer> so i've heard of the 'split' command, but how would i join it back
[08:42] <xeer> i have a file that's a little bit too big for my cd, and i'd like to take it into parts
[08:42] <Gropi> AgentHeX: there is a workaround described, that works. But it won't be easy enough for ordinary users. And the bug is still present in Hardy.
[08:42] <AgentHeX> sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:42] <AgentHeX> try adding acpi=off to the module line including your kernel near the bottom of the file.
[08:43] <AgentHeX> Gropi: judging by the inference that this is an ACPI issue, i would try disabling it and see if that helps.  i'm not a dev, just trying to offer a solution.

[08:45] <xeer> anyone? .. know how to split a file, and rejoin it?
[08:45] <Gropi> AgentHeX: I am not trying to get the bug fixed for me but for others. And it seems there is no process. I get the impression that the ubuntu bug fixing model is broken. The importance is still "undecided" which means they haven't even looked at it after months!

[08:52] <Djoef> wols ; but i can see that you can put DDR or DDR2 in it, so i should see it on the RAM itself ?
[08:52] <wols> Ssam: you execute the file.sh

[08:52] <Ssam> can i give u the link?

[08:58] <bullgard4> pg: If you can go back to an old kernel which functioned all right, then do it. I could not use my old functioning kernel after I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy.
[08:58] <AgentHeX> CyberMad: what'd you do?
[08:58] <rgnr> if i get udp open|filtered unknown that means something blocks it?
[08:58] <AgentHeX> Ademan: not sure what you mean by "as if" you were using masm
[08:58] <CyberMad> i need to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  from recovery mode
[08:58] <Djoef> if i can put a DDR1 512 MB  and a DDR2 1G in my motherboard, will they work together ? and if so, will it be on the slowest speed ?
[08:58] <CyberMad> then i re-set the hardware
[08:58] <AgentHeX> CyberMad: nice work
[08:58] <Ademan> wols, AgentHeX, the thing is last time i checked masm doesn't run on ubuntu... and i don't care to run it in wine
[08:59] <CyberMad> AgentHeX i'm very happy :)
[08:59] <nuvan> quick question, searching hasn't helped much.  I'm trying to set up apache2, but whenever I try to access a CGI script i've got placed in /usr/lib/cgi-bin, my browser tries to download it instead of the server running it.
[08:59] <wols> Ademan: linux is a 32bit system
[08:59] <Ssam> slytherin: what do i do witht he file
[08:59] <wols> Ademan: check out nasm perhaps
[08:59] <auskadi> gutsy is so  ucked up and nobody seesm to care
[08:59] <pg> bullgard4: I thought the kernel might be the problem.  It was updated in feisty recently.
[08:59] <pg> bullgard4: that's why I avoided upgrading to gutsy.
[08:59] <nuvan> the directory is ScriptAlias'd, and i've tried adding an AddType directive,and uncommented the AddHandler directive, but neither helped
[09:00] <nuvan> i've also chmod'd the file to make it globally executable
[09:00] <CyberMad> what is the best desktop search for ubuntu? i just found beagle...
[09:00] <Ademan> wols: well that's the thing, nasm doesn't have the same syntax as masm, and this is for school, i can't very well turn in code written for nasm when they want masm syntax
[09:00] <auskadi> yes well lucky nuvan i have to back up kill gutsy and reinstall fiesty
[09:00] <Ademan> CyberMad: *best* is subjective, but tracker was included by default in gutsy, so i suppose you could say that ubuntu developers think tracker is the best
[09:00] <auskadi> ubuntu corporate wankers ...we dont all own a dell
[09:01] <wols> Ademan: so stop the whining and use masm
[09:01] <pg> bullgard4: where do you get s2disk? Universe and Multiverse are enabled, but I don't see it.
[09:01] <CyberMad> Ademan so what is that?
[09:01] <Ademan> wols: is there some magical linux port of masm that i haven't heard of?
[09:01] <AgentHeX> CyberMad: find / -name '<keyword>' FOR THE WIN
[09:01] <wols> Ademan: no
[09:01] <Ademan> CyberMad: tracker? it's a desktop search applications.
[09:01] <CyberMad> ok thanks
[09:02] <bullgard4> pg: Yes, i agree that the Feisty kernel might be your problem. On the other hand, the Gutsy kernel has brought about other suspend/resume problems, as I experienced myself.
[09:02] <Ademan> wols: then how, pray tell, will i be using it?
[09:02] <wols> Ademan: dosbox for example
[09:02] <Ssam> should i paste a shell into the bin if so how?
[09:02] <wols> Ssam: bash is a shell, ksh is a shell, what you have is a shellscript. totally different thing
[09:02] <bullgard4> pg: s2disk is part of uswsusp.
[09:02] <freepenguin> www.freepenguin.it/index-en.html
[09:03] <Ademan> wols: that's actually a pretty good idea, that's the sort of thing i was looking for in the first place, thanks
[09:03] <netsrot> auskadi: what is wrong with gutsy?
[09:03] <CyberMad> Ademan ahh i get it.. so there is utility name Tracker :)
[09:03] <Ssam> wols i have no idea what i am doing man........how do i work this?
[09:04] <CyberMad> so what do you think, about using Beagle... in your opinion
[09:04] <Ssam> so i typed chmod 755 file.sh
[09:04] <slytherin> Ssam: Have you created .sh file?
[09:04] <wols> Ssam: xreate a file and put that script in there
[09:04] <Ssam> which makes it executable
[09:04] <Ademan> CyberMad: yeah haha, sorry, someone should tell them not to name their applications after common nouns
[09:04] <Ssam> yes i have
[09:04] <wols> Ssam: so now run it
[09:04] <Ssam> i pasted the text into an empty file then renmaed it flv2avi.sh
[09:05] <gaten> why won't nautlus show one of my local mounted drives? it shows every other one, except for my "winshare" drive. is it because it's fat32?
[09:05] <Ssam> i chmod 755 flv2avi.sh first
[09:05] <Ssam> ?
[09:05] <Ademan> CyberMad: unfortunately I really don't have an opinion, i haven't used either very much, but I like the *possibilities* with tracker, in the near future tracker could become a whole lot cooler, but for now i don't think there's any noticable difference
[09:05] <wols> Ssam: you said you already have
[09:05] <AgentHeX> gaten: probably.  if you made it skinny32, it might want to see it.
[09:05] <slytherin> Ssam: yes and now from terminal go to directory that contains the file and do ./flv2avi.sh
[09:05] <Ssam> i have i was just asking if i did the right thing
[09:05] <CyberMad> ok :)
[09:06] <gaten> AgentHeX: anyway to force it to show up?
[09:06] <Ssam> done Usage: ./flv2avi.sh {-divx|-xvid} list_of_flv_files
[09:06] <AgentHeX> gaten: you could try to mount it manually.  check "mount --help"
[09:06] <CyberMad> geez.. there is weird behavior with compiz on ubuntu 7.10 with Radeon 9200 SE
[09:06] <Ssam> does the flv have to be in the same folder as the shellscript
[09:07] <gaten> AgentHeX: it mounts fine. it just doesn't show up in Nautilus
[09:07] <AgentHeX> gaten: something like "mount -t vfat /dev/hdaX /mnt/windows" or whatever where X is the partition number.
[09:07] <AgentHeX> gaten: oh
[09:07] <AgentHeX> gaten: uh...  where is it mounted?
[09:07] <Ademan> CyberMad: #ubuntu-effects might be able to help you, but compiz has never worked well for me
[09:07] <gaten> AgentHeX: /media, like everything else
[09:07] <CyberMad> ok thanks
[09:08] <AgentHeX> type "mount" and check to make sure it's mounted.  can you verify it?
[09:08] <wols> gaten: ls -ld /mountpoint
[09:08] <wols> what does this say?
[09:08] <gaten> wols: drwxrwx--- 28 root plugdev 4096 1969-12-31 16:00 /media/winshare/
[09:08] <gaten> AgentHeX: and yes, i can read and write files to it
[09:09] <AgentHeX> gaten: not the point.  is there anything on it?
[09:09] <wols> gaten: run "id". are you part of group plugdev?
[09:09] <gaten> AgentHeX: oh yes, tons of stuff. and i can access it all
[09:09] <AgentHeX> gaten: but it just won't show up in nautilus?
[09:10] <salkot> I feel like my system has gotten slower. What can I do to figure out the cause?
[09:10] <gaten> wols: yes i am, but it is odd that it is the only mounted drive in /media that is a member of plugdev, everything else is root
[09:10] <gaten> AgentHeX: correct
[09:10] <AgentHeX> are you able to see it on the cli as the user you're logged in as and not root?
[09:11] <gaten> AgentHeX: yes, for all intents and purposes, it works perfect. wait, let me amend my problem. it doesn't show up on the left hand side in nautilus, in the "shortcut" tree menu. i can browse to it by going to /media, but i can't see it listed in the shortcuts
[09:12] <CyberMad> how to convert pdf to jpeg ?
[09:12] <AgentHeX> gaten: browse to /media/ and drag the folder to the shortcuts side (usually the bottom half)
[09:13] <gaten> AgentHeX: nope. this is in tree view, btw
[09:13] <peacepipejv> AgentHeX: normal visual effects dont work either
[09:13] <RyanT5000> what's a diff tool that generates nice, formatted output (e.g.: html)
[09:14] <AgentHeX> peacepipejv: sad...
[09:14] <RyanT5000> http://wikileaks.org/leak/gitmo-sop-2003-2004.html
[09:14] <RyanT5000> like the diff on that page
[09:14] <AgentHeX> gaten: no clue how to get it there.
[09:14] <gaten> AgentHeX: all well, no one else does either :P i find it very odd. oh well, thanks anyway
[09:15] <AgentHeX> gaten: i'm looking at my .nautilus directory in my home folder.  i suggest you do the same
[09:15] <peacepipejv> help, no visual effects, "Composite extension not available"
[09:15] <alvin> guys: i am currently installing Silkroad online on my wine using Ubuntu 7.10. and i tried to run it.. it wont run, it has a problem connecting to its site

[09:21] <dgjones> alvin, you might stand more chance of getting a response in #winehq, thats the main support channel for problems with Wine
[09:22] <parth> does anyone know hotto create custom livecd of gutysy gibbon
[09:22] <parth> howto*

[09:23] <pg> In xterm, how can I enable the backarrow key option by default?
[09:23] <Bryan> when I try to install flash it says: md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[09:23] <Bryan> The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[09:24] <Bryan> why?
[09:24] <AgentHeX> Bryan: the plugin is borked.
[09:24] <pg> Bryan: It may be because the file was downloaded incorrectly from the Adobe site.
[09:25] <Bryan> AgentHeX, then how does one get flash now >_>
[09:25] <Bryan> and should I install gnash?
[09:25] <neur1> how do I change my boot screen back from kubuntu to ubuntu
[09:25] <AgentHeX> http://rapidshare.com/files/74380214/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz.html
[09:25] <AgentHeX> copy to /var/cache and run "sudo aptitude reinstall flashplayer_nonfree"
[09:25] <pg> Bryan: Gnash should work on most sites.
[09:25] <Bryan> pg, but not on youtube
[09:25] <AgentHeX> er...  s/flashplayer_nonfree/flashplayer-nonfree
[09:26] <ICQnumber> Bryan, the downloaded file is broken
[09:26] <pg> Bryan: ah...
[09:26] <Bryan> which, let us face it, is the reason most people (me included) have it for.
[09:26] <ICQnumber> Bryan, open yast , search for flash palyer and install it
[09:26] <Wutz> Hello, I need help, I've just installed a clean 7.10 ubuntu, and when I try to load in, I get a blank black screen, can anyone help?
[09:26] <Bryan> ICQnumber, yast?
[09:27] <CyberMad> how to convert pdf to jpeg ? on ubuntu
[09:27] <ICQnumber> Bryan, oh forget it, lol
[09:27] <Bryan> ICQnumber, :o what is yast?
[09:27] <Bryan> oh -_- ha
[09:27] <wols> Bryan: a program for suse
[09:27] <Bryan> yeah
[09:27] <marc-andre> someone knows where the lighttpd channel is?
[09:27] <AgentHeX> ICQnumber: nah.  adobe borked the package in synaptic, too
[09:28] <pg> Bryan: you can also downlaod the install file from adobe's site
[09:28] <Bryan> pg, yeah I know. But the package just suddenly didn't work anymore.
[09:29] <pg> Bryan: you can downoad the .tar.gz file (not a package) from adobe's site.  Anyway, AgentHex's file should work too
[09:30] <pg> I hope
[09:30] <AgentHeX> pg: it does.  i had to use it the other day
[09:30] <Bryan> pg, same file i think
[09:31] <pg> AgentHex: Is a bug reported about flashplayer-nonfree?
[09:31] <AgentHeX> pg: dunno.  i know it was a hot topic a couple days ago, so i figured someone reported it
[09:32] <Kalamansi> hello, how to install all updates (desktop 7.10 ubuntu)
[09:33] <Bryan> sudo apt-get update
[09:33] <Ademan> Kalamansi: the update manager should do that for you, in the upper right there should be an orange looking icon you can click on to install the updates
[09:33] <wols> Bryan: what does this install?
[09:33] <Bryan> wols, what does what install?
[09:33] <wols>  all updates (desktop 7.10 ubuntu)
[09:33] <wols> 10:33 << Bryan> sudo apt-get update
[09:34] <Bryan> that gets the updates. then sudo apt-get upgrade actually does the upgrading
[09:34] <Kalamansi> Fetched 3B in 4s (1B/s)
[09:34] <Kalamansi> Reading package lists... Done
[09:34] <wols> so it doesn't install anything
[09:34] <wols> Kalamansi: don't paste in her
[09:34] <_ruben> it only updates the list of available packages
[09:34] <wols> *here
[09:34] <Bryan> what _ruben said
[09:34] <AgentHeX> *smacks forehead*
[09:35] <Kalamansi> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[09:35] <AgentHeX> so...
[09:35] <Kalamansi> nice reply
[09:35] <Kalamansi> is it okay to run ubuntu 7.10 desktop as "server"?
[09:36] <Stormx2> I need to change the port of gnome's "remote desktop", and suggestions?
[09:36] <pg> I can't make xterm start with the backarrowKey option enabled
[09:36] <AgentHeX> room, correct me if i'm wrong, but is the only difference between desktop and server releases the packages on the CD?
[09:36] <kiss_kill> 8-)
[09:37] <Kalamansi> Stormx2 : www.gnome.org/~markmc/remote-desktop-2.html
[09:37] <kiss_kill> :-*
[09:37] <Kalamansi> Stormx2 : this is cool too www.gnomejournal.org/article/29/remote-desktop-administration-using-vino
[09:37] <Stormx2> Ah
[09:37] <Stormx2> Just saw that actually
[09:37] <Stormx2> thanks
[09:37] <Kalamansi> np
[09:38] <Kalamansi> Stormx2 : do you know some alternatives of dreamweavercs3/photoshop cs3?
[09:38] <Stormx2> Kalamansi: nvu? gimp?
[09:38] <dgjones> !nvu | Kalamansi
[09:38] <ubotu> Kalamansi: kompozer is WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy, !Backports on !Feisty, and from  « deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tonyyarusso/ubuntu edgy universe » for Edgy.  (Dapper still pending)
[09:39] <Stormx2> I do all my html work by hand, for graphics I use Paint Shop Pro 7 under WINE
[09:39] <Kalamansi> Stormx2 : lil features
[09:39] <Kalamansi> Stormx2 : whats the download website of paint shop pro 7?
[09:39] <Feracon> Hello, would anyone here have a moment to talk Ubuntu with a new user?
[09:40] <Stormx2> Kalamansi: It's commercial
[09:40] <Kalamansi> ah so you pay for it?
[09:40] <Kalamansi> i want it free Stormx2
[09:40] <dgjones> !anyone | Feracon
[09:40] <ubotu> Feracon: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:40] <AgentHeX> Kalamansi: try The GIMP
[09:41] <Feracon> haha okay, im trying to be polite thats all
[09:41] <Stormx2> Kalamansi: Not my business how you get hold of it mate.
[09:41] <Kalamansi> Feracon : go to System >Administration > user and group
[09:41] <Feracon> I recently installed Ubuntu 7.10, and I got my WUSB300N wireless card working on it. However, after logging out and back in ever sinse it hasnt worked
[09:41] <Bryan> ICQnumber, that didn't work btw >_>
[09:42] <Feracon> Im chatting here through XP unfortunatly =\
[09:42] <Enos> can I install ubuntu  to a virtual pc?
[09:42] <wols> Enos: yes
[09:43] <Feracon> I even reformatted my linux partition and reinstalled the NDISWrapper and NIC drivers
[09:43] <Feracon> and still it will not work
[09:43] <RaverDK> Feracon: hehe shame on you... :)
[09:43] <Enos> I want to install it to Connectix Virtual PC in windows
[09:43] <AgentHeX> Enos: it's actually owned by Microsoft now.
[09:43] <Feracon> Ive only spent about 30 minutes in the Ubuntu OS and its addicting i want my internet to work on it ><
[09:43] <AgentHeX> Enos: and it's free.
[09:43] <wols> Feracon: unless you give us error messages we cannot help. does the wlan interface show up in ifconfig -a? what does dmesg say, etc?
[09:44] <Enos> AgentHeX: yes I know, I have an old version
[09:44] <Feracon> I am getting no error message thats whats so diffucult about this
[09:44] <Enos> which is connectix
[09:44] <Bryan> Feracon, did you try opening up a terminal and Feracon, did you try sudo modprobe -r -f <yourcardsname> sudo modprobe <yourcardsname>
[09:44] <peter77> Feracon: have you turned on restricted drivers?
[09:44] <Feracon> It is stuck on receiving key from wireless router, and will not let me perform any action
[09:44] <Kalamansi> Is it okay to run ubuntu desktop 7.10 as server?
[09:44] <RaverDK> Feracon: Well i give up getting my software RF kill switch to work in linux, and went online used 25$ and got me a out of the box working PCMCIA card....
[09:44] <Feracon> No peter
[09:44] <AgentHeX> Enos: other VM solutions include VMware, VirtualBox, Qemu (and kqemu), and Parallels (if you have Intel VT or AMD SVM extensions on your CPU)
[09:45] <peter77> also if you're trying to access the internet by wifi then its more than likely you need wifi drivers for your computer!
[09:45] <Enos> I tried to install ubuntu in connectix but I failed
[09:45] <Feracon> I have the WUSB300N.tar driver set
[09:45] <AgentHeX> Enos: of course, you could go crazy and install Xen running Ubuntu as dom0 and try to get WinXP as domU, but that's just more trouble than it's worth :-P
[09:45] <Feracon> they worked the first time
[09:45] <AgentHeX> Enos: then download Virtual PC from Microsoft.  again, it's free.
[09:46] <Feracon> Does anyone know a easy way to get the system to run in level 1 ?
[09:46] <peter77> Feracon: so it is your wifi card that isn't working?
[09:46] <Enos> AgentHeX: I will, when I have better connection
[09:46] <Feracon> Or maybe its 3, which ever level it is that stops it from re entering X after you exit it
[09:46] <wols> Feracon: do you mean runlevel1?
[09:46] <Feracon> yes! runlevel sir
[09:46] <Enos> AgentHeX: I even had to order the ubuntu cd
[09:46] <Feracon> I need to get out of X in order to install Nvidia drivers
[09:46] <Enos> AgentHeX: I have 7.04
[09:46] <AgentHeX> Enos: you on dial-up or something?  tin cans and a string maybe?
[09:47] <AgentHeX> Enos: :-D
[09:47] <wols> Feracon: echo "false" >/etc/X11/default-display-manager
[09:47] <Enos> AgentHeX: yes I'm
[09:47] <Feracon> Wols: thankyou, will that permanently stop it from auto re entering X ?
[09:47] <Amaranth> wols: That'll make X start then immediately exit
[09:47] <wols> yes
[09:48] <AgentHeX> Enos: if you tighten the string, you will get less packet loss.
[09:48] <Enos> what string lol
[09:48] <btz> hi, im having some problems with the sound on ubuntu 7.10 .. im a linux newbie, but iv had help from others, and they cant figure it out.. When ever i have Rythmbox open, i cant get sound to work in VLC.. and vice versa.. only one program that uses sound can be runnin at the time.. anyhone know what could be wrong ?
[09:48] <wols> Amaranth: why would it?
[09:48] <AgentHeX> Enos: between the tin cans
[09:48] <wols> btz: no dmix or other software mixer
[09:48] <Amaranth> wols: Because it'll start X, run 'false' under X, then when false exits X will exit
[09:48] <Enos> AgentHeX: do u have any junk hardware lying around?
[09:48] <AgentHeX> Enos: tons
[09:49] <Enos> AgentHeX: why don't u send me some :)
[09:49] <btz> wols, so i have to install dmix? or what? i dont know what that is. as i said, im totally fresh to linux, im still learning :)
[09:49] <AgentHeX> Enos: old stuff
[09:49] <Enos> AgentHeX: I need old stuff
[09:49] <AgentHeX> Enos: PII 233MHz with no RAM
[09:49] <Enos> nothing better?
[09:49] <AgentHeX> Enos: mebbe
[09:49] <Enos> AgentHeX: well?
[09:50] <Enos> AgentHeX: sell me
[09:50] <AgentHeX> s/tons/none
[09:50] <AgentHeX> :-D
[09:50] <Enos> AgentHeX: which means?
[09:50] <AgentHeX> Enos: substitution command in vi
[09:50] <Feracon> Amaranth: Do you know a better way to stop auto entering X?
[09:51] <Enos> AgentHeX: why don't send me, hey
[09:51] <AgentHeX> Enos: truth is i'd never follow through.  there's sentimental value in the crap i have.
[09:51] <AgentHeX> Enos: but i hate mailing stuff
[09:51] <AgentHeX> Enos: i hate mail
[09:51] <Amaranth> Feracon: Uninstall it
[09:51] <AgentHeX> Enos: hate mail
[09:51] <AgentHeX> Enos: hate
[09:51] <Feracon> Uninstall what?
[09:51] <Alley^Away> on this older laptop I get "BIOS age (1998) fails cutoff (2000), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI" when trying to install
[09:51] <Enos> AgentHeX: come on, do something good, I am in need
[09:52] <Amaranth> Feracon: X
[09:52] <Amaranth> Feracon: If you don't want it just uninstall it
[09:52] <Alley^Away> when I add acpi=force to the startup params (F6) nothing happens
[09:52] <Feracon> I want it, just i need to stay outside it long enough to install nvidia drivers
[09:53] <Amaranth> Feracon: Once it starts press Ctrl-Alt-F1, login, and run 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop'
[09:53] <brobostigon> hi, god morning
[09:53] <Amaranth> Feracon: Once it starts press Ctrl-Alt-F1, login, and run 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop'
[09:53] <bradipy> hi
[09:53] <bradipy> #ubuntu-it
[09:53] <Amaranth> Feracon: But why are you manually installing the nvidia driver? restricted-manager will install the proper version for you
[09:53] <Feracon> really?
[09:54] <bradipy> it
[09:54] <bradipy> !it
[09:54] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[09:54] <bradipy> #ubuntu-it
[09:54] <AgentHeX> aight.  i gotta head to bed.  g'night all.
[09:54] <wols> Feracon: nvidia.com drivers will also break your ubuntu when it upgrades
[09:54] <Feracon> It says it has a driver for my 8800GTS installed but when i try to change my appearance mode to anythign higher than "none" it says the driver is not "enabled"
[09:54] <brobostigon> agenthex: good morning
[09:54] <Enos> bradipy: type
[09:54] <Amaranth> Feracon: Go to System->Administration->Restricted Drivers Manager
[09:55] <dgjones> bradipy, you need to type "join #ubuntu-it"
[09:55] <Feracon> Amaranth: any idea how to "enable" the driver?
[09:55] <Javid> where is the thing to control printers and such
[09:55] <Abu-Aadam>  hi i'm wondering how I can burn avi to dvd player format so

[10:02] <auskadi> auskadi thinks gutsy gibbon is crap, nothing works proprly with it each day anew problem
[10:02] <Amaranth> eses: :w
[10:02] <alch3mist> ese : press escape ": w"
[10:03] <Amaranth> Amaranth thinks auskadi is bad, complaining about things without explaining :P
[10:03] <kom0dor> hey all
[10:03] <rabi> kom0dor: hey
[10:04] <brobostigon> kom0dor: good morning. hi
[10:04] <auskadi> beacuse aussieman has been posting bug reports and asking questions for weeks here and in xubuntu and nothing fixes the problems in gutsy
[10:04] <Fethman> hmm I have a weird problem with a sony vaio vgns4. As I read in the forums many ppl have trouble with it but still. So when I try to shutdown or switch the virtual terminal the screen goes black and then it gets distorted. Also it's only happening with the latest nvidia driver from the restricted drivers manager. If I install the nvidia-old driver it works but compiz doesn't. The videocard is geforce6200go. Anyone else having simmiliar problems?
[10:04] <auskadi> it is designed for dell / we don all use dell
[10:04] <auskadi> gutsy is a problem with graphics
[10:04] <Alley^Away> on this older laptop I get "BIOS age (1998) fails cutoff (2000), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI" when trying to install
[10:04] <Alley^Away> when I add acpi=force to the startup params (F6) nothing happens
[10:04] <Alley^Away> sitting here w/ original 7.04 cd
[10:04] <rabi> auskadi: what problem did u face with gusty?
[10:04] <auskadi> fiesty worked perfectly and upgrade aits like goingg backwards to redhat 1
[10:05] <Amaranth> auskadi: Actually Dell has nothing to do with it
[10:05] <auskadi> it says my graphics card is not installed it is
[10:05] <Alley^Away> how do I get installation started
[10:05] <auskadi> hence googleearth ceestial ect wont work
[10:05] <auskadi> no control over audio
[10:05] <Amaranth> auskadi: And they didn't get some of their pet bugs fixed
[10:05] <auskadi> low battery life
[10:05] <Amaranth> auskadi: So use feisty
[10:05] <auskadi> yes back up again reinatsll
[10:06] <auskadi> why nt give us a warning that gutsy is so bad beofre offering the automatic upgrade with synaptic_
[10:06] <Amaranth> That wasn't a question, that was me telling you to use feisty
[10:06] <Amaranth> It works perfectly here
[10:06] <auskadi> as you also see - s nt a qestion markk as gutsy loses kbd fig all the time
[10:06] <rabi> auskadi: you must check System > Administration > Screens and Graphics once.
[10:06] <auskadi> really
[10:06] <zanpakatou> Amaranth : what bad?
[10:06] <auskadi> rabi i check t all the timer
[10:06] <moaiamorfo> hi all
[10:07] <rabi> auskadi: which board do you have
[10:07] <Amaranth> auskadi: It sounds like you have upgrade problems, not gutsy problems
[10:07] <auskadi> really)_ why then do i see a hundred people complaining about the same stuff and no action for weeks_
[10:07] <auskadi> i have an hp nx7300
[10:07] <zanpakatou> i think everyone should know that fresh install is recommended to prevent package/library conflicts
[10:08] <yann_> #list
[10:08] <AlleyKat> on this older laptop I get "BIOS age (1998) fails cutoff (2000), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI" when trying to install
[10:08] <AlleyKat> when I add acpi=force to the startup params (F6) nothing happens
[10:08] <AlleyKat> sitting here w/ original 7.04 cd
[10:08] <AlleyKat> how do I get installation started
[10:08] <moaiamorfo> I have problems with two packages under Gutsy. Synaptic outputs this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47200/
[10:08] <Amaranth> AlleyKat: You don't need acpi
[10:08] <eses> how do I delete a file in a terminal?
[10:08] <zanpakatou> AllyKat if you have an old machine try the alternate cd
[10:08] <Amaranth> auskadi: Because you haven't told anyone important
[10:08] <Amaranth> auskadi: Or explained the issue completely
[10:08] <moaiamorfo> problems started after applying some updates, yesterday
[10:09] <Amaranth> AlleyKat: btw, that's my name :P
[10:09] <AlleyKat> it's a very old 233 mhz laptop w/ 32 mb ram... hmm alternate cd? There is only one in the package... I'll google for it I guess
[10:10] <Amaranth> AlleyKat: That will not run Ubuntu
[10:10] <Amaranth> AlleyKat: you need 256MB
[10:10] <AlleyKat> what is your name?
[10:10] <AlleyKat> oh
[10:10] <Occulto> ciao
[10:10] <Amaranth> AlleyKat is my alternative name when Amaranth is taken on various websites :P
[10:11] <alecwh> Is the Netgear WPN111 RangeMax Wireless-G MIMO USB 2.0 Adapter supported in Ubuntu 7.10?
[10:11] <Amaranth> alecwh: That's marketspeak, dunno
[10:11] <eses> how to delete in terminal
[10:11] <wols> alecwh: what chip does it use?
[10:11] <AlleyKat> thx, saves me fighting with it for hours - ah ok :) is all I ever use generally
[10:11] <Amaranth> alecwh: Would have to know what chip it uses
[10:11] <wols> eses: man rm
[10:11] <zanpakatou> eses : rm
[10:12] <Amaranth> eses: careful, there is no undelete
[10:12] <AlleyKat> funny thou, I can get Win2K running on it... maybe some other distro?
[10:12] <zanpakatou> eses : just incase don't use sudo
[10:12] <Amaranth> AlleyKat: Probably not
[10:12] <alecwh> Uhm
[10:12] <alecwh> I'm not sure
[10:12] <alecwh> What chip?
[10:12] <alecwh> It's on woot.com
[10:12] <alecwh> http://woot.com
[10:12] <Amaranth> AlleyKat: And iirc Win2k needs 64MB just for it, either way that'd be painful
[10:12] <wols> alecwh: what wlan chip does it use
[10:13] <Ko_deZ> Hi. Is anyone else having problems with flasplayer-nonfree here? I get md5sum mismatch after the flashplayer is downloaded
[10:13] <Ko_deZ> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[10:13] <Ko_deZ> The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[10:13] <alecwh> wols: I don't know
[10:13] <alecwh> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-RangeMax-WPN111-Wireless-Adapter/dp/B0007YQO36
[10:13] <chief> Hi, I'm trying to setup samba, I can see myself in the network but I can't see the other ubuntu box any ideas?
[10:13] <zanpakatou> Ko_dez : check this path if flash player exists "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins " and "/usr/lib/firefox/plugins"
[10:14] <Amaranth> AlleyKat: If you find a distro that came out in 1999 it'd probably run on there but it'd be completely unsupported by anyone
[10:14] <rabi> Ko_deZ: same problem to me but solved.
[10:14] <Ko_deZ> zanpakatou: nope
[10:14] <Ko_deZ> rabi: how?
[10:14] <alecwh> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-RangeMax-WPN111-Wireless-Adapter/dp/tech-data/B0007YQO36/ref=de_a_smtd/202-3028850-9931001 - can anyone tell me if this is ubuntu compatable?
[10:14] <zanpakatou> Ko_deZ : then install it again
[10:14] <rabi> Ko_deZ: manually install flash plugin.
[10:14] <hangthedj> does anybody know of a program like drapes, that will let you change your background more than every five minutes?
[10:14] <wols> alecwh: use damnsmallinux or puppy linux. ubuntu won't run on 32MB
[10:14] <rabi> zanpakatou: no solution.
[10:14] <AlleyKat> so either more ram or back to win98/crawling 2K... ok thx
[10:14] <zanpakatou> Ko_deZ : you can just copy the .xpi and the .so to the plugins folder
[10:15] <brobostigon> alecwh: type dmesg into terminal press enter, then lsusb into teminal press enter, and then pastebin both output from both commands.
[10:15] <wols> alecwh: wrong. I gave you two current alternatives
[10:15] <Ko_deZ> zanpakatou: i have tried three times. The dowloaded install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz file does really not have the correct md5sum
[10:15] <zanpakatou> Ko_deZ : or you can download the plugins in adobe and install manually... it's a script
[10:15] <rabi> Ko_deZ: yah same problem happened to me before.
[10:15] <auskadi> Amaranth, im sorry i have / or re you someone importnat
 : download the installer script from adobe
[10:15] <wols> Ko_deZ: known problem
[10:15] <alecwh> http://pastebin.com/m4be18c87
[10:15] <alecwh> wols
[10:15] <alecwh> brobostigon:
[10:15] <Amaranth> auskadi: i meant file a bug
[10:15] <Ko_deZ> rabi: That should work, but I would rather have the auto thingy fixed.
[10:15] <Amaranth> !bug
[10:15] <ubotu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/  -  Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots
[10:15] <auskadi> filed a question
[10:15] <btz> uhm, how can i change the port that remote desktop uses? anyone know that?
[10:16] <auskadi> no response
 : if you can find an rpm convert it to deb like so "sudo alien --script plugins.rpm"
[10:16] <Ko_deZ> rabi: for future users (like my parents)
[10:16] <Amaranth> auskadi: Got a link?
[10:16] <rabi> Ko_deZ: that is problem that must be fixed.
[10:16] <Ko_deZ> rabi: yes, I agree.
 : have u tried the sudo command with the script?
[10:17] <Ko_deZ> zanpakatou: Cannot apt-get install without sudo =)
[10:17] <alecwh> sorry, here is the correct one: http://pastebin.com/m42f6f6af
[10:17] <alecwh> brobostigon
[10:17] <zanpakatou> Ko_deZ : no i mean.. u dowload the installer script from adobe.. and install from there... it should fix your problem
[10:17] <Ko_deZ> There really is a new install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz file with a different md5sum.
[10:17] <Bryan> I'm getting a gray box's where flash stuff should be :o help!
[10:17] <auskadi> forget ti everytime ive tridd to fix it has got worse im backing up and downgrading now .... last thing i did i lost kdb format and it wont revert
[10:17] <auskadi> im really sick of it
[10:17] <Ko_deZ> zanpakatou: yes, it would. I hope to not need to do that though.
[10:18] <zanpakatou> Ko_deZ : if it's different then it's corrupted or malformed
[10:18] <brobostigon> alecwh: its telling me your wifi adaptor is not connected.
[10:18] <alecwh> I don't have it yet...
[10:18] <alecwh> I'm seeing if I should order it
[10:18] <Amaranth> auskadi: You should try the 7.10 live cd
[10:18] <alecwh> I'm connected via wireless, though.
[10:18] <Amaranth> auskadi: See if your problems are gutsy or because of the upgrade
[10:18] <Martinn> why when i send only 1 ping count i recieve only 1 reply from 1 host and no DUPs?
[10:18] <Bryan> I'm getting a gray box's where flash stuff should be :o help! (I'm using opera btw.)
[10:18] <wols> alecwh: google
[10:19] <brobostigon> elecwh, look it up in the hardware db on help.ubuntu.com/ then go to community docs
[10:19] <wols> Bryan: install a flash plugin then
[10:19] <zanpakatou> auskadi : most problem comes because of the upgrade... library/package conflicts... that are not managed correctly
[10:19] <Bryan> wols, I did.
[10:19] <alecwh> wols?
[10:19] <wols> Bryan: obviously not
[10:19] <wols> alecwh: google if it works under ubuntu...
[10:19] <Bryan> wols, obviously so. It's not saying "HEY, install flash" it's saying "HEY...I dunno how to distplay this *break*"
[10:20] <alecwh> blarg
[10:20] <Martinn> ?
[10:24] <Ko_deZ> zanpakatou: Not nessesarily. It can be a minor version upgrade that kept the same filename.
[10:26] <humboldt> does anybody know if the ubuntu install cd supports netboot install easily some way?
[10:26] <humboldt> can I boot ubuntu live on PC 1 and netboot install it from PC 2?
[10:27] <dgjones> !install | humboldt

[10:39] <Bryan> I'm getting a gray box's where flash stuff should be :o help! (I'm using opera btw.) (and flash is installed. It's running fine in firefox; but I don't like firefox)

[10:40] <wols> Bryan: is there a flash plugin your your opera plugins directory?
[10:40] <Bryan> wols, yes
[10:41] <Bryan> opera even sees it
[10:41] <kapmop> hello
[10:41] <wols> chief: how are the ubuntu boxes connected? what ar their respective IPs?
[10:41] <Bryan> it says "shockwave flash"
[10:41] <hangthedj> chief, in the /etc/samba/smb.conf do your shares have the browseable option set to = yes?
[10:41] <chief> hangthedj: yes done that
[10:42] <chief> wols: they are connected on a wired network, 10.4.1.3 & 10.4.1.2
[10:42] <zewb> chief: try this: sudo rm /etc/*
[10:42] <wols> chief: and they can ping each other?
[10:42] <hangthedj> chief, have you tried connecting to them, even though you can't see them?
[10:42] <chief> wols: yes
[10:42] <wols> !ops zewb is a malicious troll
[10:42] <chief> zewb: I'm not an idiot :)
[10:42] <kapmop> i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras but flash still isn't working in firefox
[10:42] <zewb> it was a joke
[10:42] <zewb> calm down wols
[10:42] <JonathanD> zewb: don't tell jokes like that.
[10:42] <wols> zewb: that is NO joke. you should be banned for this.
[10:42] <zewb> why?
[10:42] <wols> and no I am not joking
[10:42] <zewb> lol
[10:42] <JonathanD> you never know who might not realize it's a joke.
[10:43] <onats> hi, my machine is updating from an apt-cacher server.. why is it that it seems to be still downloading package information from the internet...?

[10:43] <chief> now where was I :)
[10:43] <onats> anyone?
[10:44] <hangthedj> that was exciting
[10:44] <chief> hangthedj: depends on how you mean connected
[10:44] <kane77> hehe
[10:44] <chief> connect
[10:44] <onats> haller?
[10:44] <hangthedj> in nautilus, can you smb:///host/share?
[10:44] <chief> hangthedj: I've tried the connect to server tools in gnome
[10:45] <hangthedj> or mount -t smbfs to somewhere?
[10:45] <aantn> is it possible to run eclipse using ibm's java?
[10:46] <magnetron> hangthedj: don't use smbfs, it's deprecated. use CIFS instead
[10:46] <wols> andatche: considering eclipse is from ibm too originally: why not?
[10:46] <kapmop> what's the preferred way to get flash working in firefox?
[10:46] <chief> hangthedj: it says with nautilus that it can't display the contents of smb://agnus/
[10:46] <erUSUL> !flash | kapmop
[10:46] <ubotu> kapmop: 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
[10:47] <hangthedj> i'm deprecated. :(
[10:47] <hangthedj> chief, did you set it up through gui, or cli?
[10:47] <chief> gui
[10:48] <chief> and jed
[10:48] <hangthedj> honestly its been so long since i've setup a samba share, i'm sure a lot has changed.
[10:48] <chief> hangthedj: there was a little youtube video I followed for setting it up.
[10:48] <kapmop> i tried that and its still not working
[10:49] <hangthedj> in smb.conf do you have public = yes?
[10:49] <kapmop> i also tried installing just the flash player via the "install missing plugins" popup that firefox gives when it detects a requested plugin is missing
[10:49] <Alex> Hi. anyone know how I can force all squid traffic out over a socks proxy? so.. machine A connects to server B running squid, which has a local socks proxy that sends stuff out over machine C?
[10:50] <aantn> wols: I asked because its not working
[10:50] <Bryan> hmm
[10:50] <kapmop> i tried installing gnash swf player, too. that worked, but it displays youtube funkily
[10:51] <chief> hangthedj: the share is set to public yes
[10:51] <aantn> I get the following:
[10:51] <hangthedj> hmm, you might try gsambad, it used to be an amazing samba setup wizard.
[10:51] <kapmop> i'm guessing it could be related to the fact that i'm running amd64 instead of the usual i386 build
[10:51] <aantn> A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun/bin/java
[10:51] <chief> hangthedj: http://pastebin.com/m1fa49c7 there is the config :)
[10:51] <aantn> any ideas?
[10:51] <Bryan> I keep getting a funky error when I try to play flash in opera :o anyone got any ideas?
[10:52] <Bryan> error message: (process:31192): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_clipboard_get_for_display: assertion `display != NULL' failed
[10:52] <Bryan> Adobe Flash Player: gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY); failed. Trying to call gtk_init(0,0);
[10:52] <amidaniel|away> aantn: Do you have a JRE installed?
[10:53] <aantn> I'm nearly certain
[10:53] <CRoWsNeST> hello any one in here
[10:53] <chief> hangthedj: I'll have a look see at it
[10:53] <wols> aantn: jdk1.4 seems a bit low
[10:53] <aantn> I installed it from the medibutu repos
[10:54] <hangthedj> chief, i'm not sure what the default is, but you may want to uncomment the security = user
[10:54] <amidaniel|away> aantn: You should probably install the 1.5 or 1.6 jre .. I'm not sure how friendly eclipse is with 1.4
[10:54] <hangthedj> or change it to security = share.
[10:54] <CRoWsNeST> ok am new to ubuntu and am losed got it installed and try to get my graphic card working and the get the destop effects to work
[10:54] <chief> hangthedj: ok
[10:54] <CRoWsNeST> but i don;t no how to download beryl
[10:54] <amidaniel|away> aantn: It's probably also a lot easier to install eclipse from the ubuntu repo, as that will sort out your dependencies for you and configure it properly.
[10:54] <wols> CRoWsNeST: there is no beryl anymore and compiz is installed by default in gutsy
[10:54] <wols> CRoWsNeST: what videocard do you have and what drier do you use?
[10:55] <aantn> amidaniel|away: I did
[10:55] <magnetron> CRoWsNeST: install the package for advanced compiz settings
[10:55] <aantn> I installed java from medibuntu
[10:55] <CRoWsNeST> i have a Radeon 9550
[10:55] <wols> aantn: why from medibuntu?
[10:55] <aantn> I installed the package ibm-j2re1.5
[10:55] <wols> ubuntu has java 1.5 at least
[10:55] <CRoWsNeST> where do i do that
[10:55] <aantn> I'm on ppc
[10:55] <wols> aantn: why is it then talking about java 1.4 in your error message?
[10:56] <CRoWsNeST> is there remote accests with unbuntu
[10:56] <aantn> I don't know
[10:56] <nuvan> it seems that my /usr/include is next to empty.  anyone know the package name that contains the basic header files for development?
[10:56] <aantn> wait...
[10:56] <wols> CRoWsNeST: what drivers?
[10:56] <lht> Thanks for the help guys. My monitor resolution issue is fixed! :D I am off now.
[10:56] <erUSUL> CRoWsNeST: go to System>Admin>Restricted drivers
[10:56] <CRoWsNeST> if so i could really need it lol
[10:56] <aantn> I'm installing the package "ibm-j2sdk1.5"
[10:56] <wols> !b-e | nuvan
[10:56] <ubotu> nuvan: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[10:56] <magnetron> CRoWsNeST: in applications > add/remove, search for compiz
[10:56] <amidaniel|away> aantn: Can you load up a console and type "java -version"
[10:56] <erUSUL> !java | aantn
[10:56] <ubotu> aantn: 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
[10:56] <CRoWsNeST> i down load the driver i got it sitting on my desk top
[10:56] <aantn> I can't install sun's version
[10:56] <aantn> it doesn't exist for ppc
[10:56] <CRoWsNeST> but i don;t no how to install it
[10:56] <CRoWsNeST> lol
[10:57] <aantn> I'm trying to install another package...
[10:57] <wols> aantn: you don't need to download any driver. I ask waht driver you actaully use
[10:57] <CRoWsNeST> go i feel stupied
[10:57] <Fethman> hmm anyone know if there is a kernel with suspend2 compiled in it for gutsy. I patched it and compiled it myself but the hibernate script still says that there is no support for suspend2
[10:57] <aantn> wols: I do need to install the javasdk
[10:57] <aantn> don't i?
[10:57] <CRoWsNeST> ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64
[10:57] <erUSUL> CRoWsNeST: comiz is installed by default in latest ubuntu
[10:57] <kapmop> can i get ubuntu to undo all the updates i've done to it in the past day or so?
[10:57] <CRoWsNeST> that one
[10:57] <magnetron> CRoWsNeST: in administration, run "restricted driver manager"
[10:57] <wols> aantn: jre is enough
[10:57] <amidaniel|away> aantn: You shouldn't need the sdk
[10:57] <wols> aantn: unless you actually eclipse to do java programming
[10:57] <aantn> for eclipse?
[10:57] <CRoWsNeST> ok will i got ubuntu 7.04
[10:58] <erUSUL> CRoWsNeST: you should install your drivers quth the restricted drivers app
[10:58] <wols> CRoWsNeST: update
[10:58] <erUSUL> with*
[10:58] <amidaniel|away> wols: Eclipse provides it's own sdk
[10:58] <aantn> I don't want eclipse for java
[10:58] <denardo> How do I find out my current IP address (so I can ssh in from another machine on the LAN)?
[10:58] <wols> erUSUL: no he should not. those drivers don't work with compiz at all
[10:58] <CRoWsNeST> can i talk to some that will to help me in pvp
[10:58] <wols> amidaniel|away: I don't think so
[10:58] <CRoWsNeST> this room to fast and i can;t keep up
[10:59] <aantn> java version "1.5.0"
[10:59] <hangthedj> denardo, ifconfig
[10:59] <wols> aantn: and this java is installed where?
[10:59] <hangthedj> denardo, probably ifconfig eth0
[10:59] <amidaniel|away> aantn: "which java"
[10:59] <erUSUL> wols: xserver-xgl
[10:59] <CRoWsNeST> there is  168 update should i do ever one of them
[10:59] <chief> hangthedj: didn't help much :(
[10:59] <wols> erUSUL: eeek!
[10:59] <CRoWsNeST> i have not done any update yet
[10:59] <amidaniel|away> wols: Hmm .. maybe not. I know it provides its own implementation of the compiler, etc.
[10:59] <aantn> /usr/bin/java
[11:00] <wols> amidaniel|away: it might use jikes, but it certainly doesn't provide its own java runtime library
[11:00] <denardo> hangt thanks!
[11:00] <CRoWsNeST> any one
[11:00] <CRoWsNeST> plz help
[11:00] <hangthedj> probably not that much help these days with samba, usually only have to copy a couple files, so i use scp
[11:00] <erUSUL> wols: but i step aside if you are willing to guide her through manual instalation of the ati.com driver (something she will have to do every time the kernel, mesa, or the x server updates)
[11:00] <amidaniel|away> wols: No, it doesn't provide the runtime, just a compiler (and a bad one at that ...)
[11:01] <wols> erUSUL: why would it? "ati" and compiz will work. Free driver instead of proprietary shit
[11:01] <amidaniel|away> aantn: Okay, can you execute java -jar /usr/lib/eclipse/startup.jar ?
[11:01] <hangthedj> but i remember gsambad being pretty awesome
[11:01] <wols> amidaniel|away: jikes isn't bad
[11:01] <magnetron> denardo: right click the network applet in the upper right corner, choose info
[11:01] <wols> if it is jikes
[11:02] <chief> hangthedj:  maybe, but as with most tools you need to know to use them :)
[11:02] <hangthedj> chief, in the terminal you could try findsmb, or smbtree and see what comes up?
[11:02] <CRoWsNeST> why do i get this problem in desktop effects i get this when i click on it the Composite extension is not available
[11:02] <aantn> amidaniel|away: that works
[11:02] <aantn> thanks!
[11:02] <erUSUL> wols: i thought that recent cards dosn't support ati (radeon) with 3d accel /me scrolls back... ahh a 95xx maybe it would work
[11:03] <wols> erUSUL: not just maybe. everything up to x800 will work with i
[11:03] <wols> *it
[11:03] <chief> hangthedj: just 1 machine itself
[11:03] <amidaniel|away> aantn: Heh, alright :) If you're curious in investigating it more, there will be a configuration file somewhere in its millions of .ini's that points to the runtime to use for loading, which you should update to /usr/bin/java
[11:04] <CRoWsNeST> So can any one in here help me or no
[11:04] <erUSUL> wols: good to know
[11:04] <aantn> amidaniel|away: its not worth the time... thanks again
[11:04] <hangthedj> chief, did you try in #samba?
[11:04] <amidaniel|away> aantn: Alright, no problem :)
[11:04] <kapmop> fresh install of ubuntu 7.1 amd64: flash isn't working in firefox, even after installing ubuntu-restricted-extras. gnash kinda sorta works but renders a garbled image
[11:04] <hangthedj> probably not many people there, but worth a shot
[11:05] <chief> hangthedj: #samba ?
[11:05] <chief> oh
[11:05] <hangthedj>   /join #samba :)
[11:05] <predaeus> kapmop, to be exact you would have to say 7.10, it's the year and month
[11:05] <chief> hangthedj: thanks I'm in there already ;)
[11:06] <CRoWsNeST> Can some tell me how to get desktop effects to work
[11:06] <kapmop> are most people still using the i386 build?
[11:06] <wols> CRoWsNeST: glxinfo. what driver do you use?
[11:06] <hangthedj> try changing the security = user to security = share, when all else failed that worked for me in the past.
[11:06] <predaeus> kapmop, I heard there is something to install to get firefox working. I don't remember what though, did you scan the forums?
[11:06] <CRoWsNeST> wols am new to this i need step by step
[11:07] <erUSUL> kapmop: flash worked for mi in 64bit out of the box without using gnash
[11:07] <CRoWsNeST> in what you want to know
[11:07] <kapmop> i havent scanned the forums
[11:08] <predaeus> CRoWsNeST, I think this is still explained in #ubuntu-effects not sure though, haven't been to #ubuntu for some time
[11:08] <erUSUL> kapmop: i have flashplugin-nonfree installed (iirc i jus browsed to youtbe give a few clicks an voila! flash working)
[11:10] <kapmop> ah. i think i found the problem.. md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz _ The Flash plugin is NOT installed.

[11:12] <ihate88> hi got a problem. on my notebook, a MEDION MD 96290, the pc speakers don't work. it uses the hda-intel module. on vista i can assign a function i wish on each jack. one is even spdif optical/front speakers at the same time. i dont even see a red light using ubuntu... this works using vista. the worst thing is i cant use the integrated pc speakers. using no model option, the three plugs have the functions line out, microphone, line in.
[11:12] <ihate88> the model=medion-mda2 does not change anything. the model=medion option instead seems to work. all the all the correct controlers appear in alsamixer. but now i dont get ANY sound :( any help on this? i tried upgrading to newest alsa version
[11:12] <nuvan> thanks wols
[11:12] <CRoWsNeST> :(

[11:14] <white_eagle> can I ask for help
[11:14] <predaeus> CRoWsNeST, what wols meant was, open a console and run glxinfo and look at the output to see what driver is in use.

[11:23] <predaeus> kapmop, it's not easily noticeable, I am not even sure if I could notice it, I switched back to Xubuntu i386 from Xubuntu amd64 recently.
[11:24] <predaeus> kapmop, but maybe I've just got used to the slowdown. Not sure.
[11:25] <tomagor> anyone who knows for LTSP?
[11:26] <CRoWsNeST> predaeus do i need to just do the update on the pc and it will work ?
[11:26] <onats> is anyone else having problems updating their installation?
[11:26] <predaeus> CRoWsNeST, I don't know, could be that your hardware (graphics card) does not support the effects.

[11:37] <gordonjcp> GOdFAThe1: that's not the usual problem, pastebin the error?
[11:37] <LinuxJuggalo> evo7, open your firewall and it should be under policy or traffic rules something similar like that, in pidgin open accounts, click the account you are having problems with and click modify on the advanced tab it shows the port pidging is using to connect to the IM service
[11:37] <wols> ikonia: it does. old known problem in quake3 based games with alsa

[11:48] <ikonia> dbe: pango should be build against xft in the pango package
[11:48] <zetheroo> I would like to be able to take my videos and convert them to smaller more compact files
[11:48] <gordonjcp> zetheroo: avidemux will probably help you with that
[11:48] <dbe> ikonia: How can I check if its installed?
[11:48] <gordonjcp> I don't use it, because I find the GUI really hard to use
[11:48] <ikonia> dbe: dpkg -l | grep pango
[11:49] <gordonjcp> mencoder is a command-line tool, and much easier
[11:49] <dfd> I think there were some problems in last upgrades.. I can't run any gtk app anymore
[11:49] <zetheroo> hmmm
[11:49] <zetheroo> ok
[11:49] <zetheroo> thanks all
[11:49] <gordonjcp> zetheroo: what are you converting from and to?
[11:49] <zetheroo> I'll give avidemux a try
[11:50] <dfd> gnome doesn't start at all, gdm crashes when I click on preferences, gnome-terminal segfaults, XFCE doesn't start, Inkscape crashes when I open the save dialog
[11:50] <zetheroo> well... I want to convert many formats
[11:50] <dfd> all worked fine before last upgrade..
[11:50] <zetheroo> ogg to mpg
[11:50] <dbe> ikonia: ii  libpango1.0-0       1.12.2-0ubuntu3    Layout and rendering of internationalized te
[11:50] <dbe>           ii  libpango1.0-common  1.12.2-0ubuntu3    Modules and configuration files for the Pang
[11:50] <gordonjcp> if you've got more than a couple of videos to convert, it's actually much faster to use a command-line tool and write a script to do it
[11:50] <zetheroo> mov to mgp
[11:50] <him> Crossover office works as advertised... with two minor problems... I can input English just fine, but when i attempt to input japanese it gives me question marks.  So I boot into japanese and it solves that problem... the input is still alittle strange but works.  The second problem is more troubling.  I get parts of my word documents appearing in a huge font blown up on my screen.  If I minimize work the large text still remains for a breif
[11:50] <him> period
[11:50] <zetheroo> etc
[11:50] <dbe> ikonia: I cant see libpangoxft there.
[11:50] <ikonia> dbe: thats because it may not be a pacakge, pango should be built against xft as I said earlier
[11:51] <dbe> ikonia: Ok
[11:51] <ikonia> him: I'd take that up with cross-over support groups
[11:51] <dfd> Anyone had this problem?
[11:51] <ikonia> dfd: if gnome is segfaulting, I'd re-install ubuntu
[11:52] <ikonia> dfd: you could go around the houses trying to trouble shoot that
[11:52] <dfd> ikonia, it started segfaulting from the last upgrade.. I'm using stable.. I can't see what I did wrong
[11:52] <him> ok, thankyou.  I will have to do that.  I would be totally willing to use openoffice if it did not handle footnotes soo poorly
[11:53] <dissident> is there an easy way to make another ext3 partition on another hdd while installing ubuntu
[11:53] <dfd> at the moment I installed KDE to have a desktop environment, but I need to use inkscape for my work
[11:53] <ikonia> dfd something has not gone well, but as I said, a sefault can take a while to gor through, your probably best just re-installing ubuntu unless it's critical
[11:53] <dfd> and also firefox crashes when I open a save dialog..
[11:53] <ikonia> dfd: what are you doing, gnome/xfce/kde all on the same box ?
[11:53] <dfd> I used only gnome
[11:53] <ikonia> dfd: how are you using firefox if you can't load a desktop ?
[11:53] <ikonia> dfd: then why are you installing kde and xfce
[11:54] <dfd> ikonia, to have a desktop, since gnome doesn't start anymore
[11:54] <ikonia> dfd: ok, so kde is a work around
[11:54] <dfd> yes, it is a workaround for gnome, but I still need to run firefox, inkscape, etc
[11:54] <dfd> they all crashes when I open save dialogs
[11:54] <ikonia> dfd: I would re-install ubuntu unless you have mission critical data on
[11:55] <dfd> couldn't I just reinstall broken packages?
[11:55] <ikonia> dfd: which package is broke ?
[11:55] <dfd> eh.. I would like to know
[11:55] <ikonia> dfd: EXACTLY !
[11:55] <different_realit> I'm trying to install a usb accessrunner modem, in ubuntu.com says to excecute  cxacrufw-extract ~/CnxEtU.sys ~/cxacru-fw.bin   but i get the message cxacrufw not found.. what am I doing wrong ?
[11:55] <ikonia> dfd: it can takes ages to work through a segfault
[11:55] <ikonia> dfd: something as big as gnome will take a while, hence why I said it is probably easier to re-install
[11:56] <dfd> I could try reinstalling all gtk packages
[11:56] <ikonia> dfd: do you think it's a gtk problem
[11:56] <dfd> yeah.. since every app using gtk crashes
[11:56] <dbe> Where can I get gtk+-2.0?
[11:57] <dfd> is there a way to uninstall/reinstall a package without having to uninstall all its dependent packages?
[11:57] <wols> dfd: yes. man dpkg
[11:58] <dfd> ok
[11:58] <dbe> dfd: Just apt-get remove package && apt-get install package
[11:58] <dfd> dbe, but that would remove all packages on which package relies on as well
[11:58] <UltraMagnus> hi, i just tried to install ubuntu 7.10 64bit on my new laptop (dell vostro 1500) however when i hit enter at the first menu, my screen just turns off (not goes black, the backlight and everything turns off).  help?
[11:59] <dbe> dfd: Not that I know of.
[11:59] <chief> does the AMD64 version of ubuntu allow for executing 32bit binaries ?
[12:00] <wols> chief: yes
[12:00] <dfd> dbe, yes it does, I'm trying :-|
[12:00] <wols> chief: but you will need the 32bit libs the 32bit program needs
[12:00] <ikonia> chief: not without a 32bit environment installed too
[12:00] <erUSUL> chief: yes
[12:00] <chief> so I have to install the 32bit env as well ?
[12:00] <ikonia> chief: yes
[12:01] <chief> I take it, it doesn't install by default like that ?
[12:01] <ikonia> chief: no
[12:01] <ikonia> chief: do you have a reason to use 64bit ?
[12:01] <chief> bother
[12:01] <chief> ikonia: other than ego, and because I can, no. :)
[12:01] <ikonia> chief: then use 32bit
[12:01] <onats> how come my ubuntu in gutsy alpha isn't upgraded to final release... i already updated everything using update manager...
[12:02] <onats> it still looks like the alpha version, with the search icon
[12:03] <onats> halp!
[12:03] <chief> ikonia: I'd rather not do a total reinstall :)
[12:03] <erUSUL> onats: lsb_release -a
[12:04] <ikonia> chief: unless you have a reason to use 64bit, you'll find it more hassle, and no benifits
[12:04] <ce_chubby> ai
[12:04] <ce_chubby> aii
[12:04] <chief> ikonia: maybe, but I notice a performance boost while using 64 bit os.
[12:05] <ikonia> chief: really ? where ?
[12:05] <onats> erusul, it just states 7.10.. does the alpha version have an 'a' as in 7.10a?
[12:05] <chief> ikonia: video / audio authoring work :)
[12:05] <ikonia> chief: thats understandable, so you do have a "reason"
[12:05] <chief> lol
[12:05] <chief> ikonia: not something I think about :)
[12:06] <zetheroo> well I installed avidemux .... but it does not even open .ogg files
[12:06] <ce_chubby> chief
[12:06] <ikonia> chief: it's one of the area's 64bit shines
[12:06] <chief> ikonia: indeed ;)
[12:06] <ikonia> zetheroo: have you installed the codecs to be able to play ogg files
[12:06] <zetheroo> ikonia: I just played this ogg file
[12:07] <chief> ikonia: it's only for 1 application, I'm sure I can find something equal to it somewhere.. Skale ( for composing tracker music )
[12:07] <erUSUL> onats: if you upgraded with the update manager you are on the final version already
[12:07] <snafoo> Anyone know why my mic would be skippy when using ventrilo with ALSA, but fine when using OSS?
[12:07] <onats> erusul, ok thanks.. i'm just wondering why the search icon didn't disappear..
[12:07] <onats> erusul, you familiar with apt-cacher?
[12:07] <erUSUL> onats: the deskbar applet?
[12:07] <eses> how to start clonezilla? any one?
[12:07] <onats> erusul, yeah
[12:08] <onats> that small magnifying icon on the top right
[12:08] <erUSUL> onats: i comes with the final version by default too
[12:09] <NixPanther> Hi all. I'm having connection issues in Pidgin. It refuses to connect to MSN (writing error) and AIM (connection reset by peer). I've apt-get remove --purgeed and reinstalled it and still the same. Any idea's?
[12:10] <onats> !clonezilla
[12:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clonezilla - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:10] <onats> what does clonezilla do/
[12:12] <Greeny_> snafoo I hears we never reply
[12:12] <snafoo> yes Greeny_
[12:13] <Greeny_> pity
[12:14] <eses> clonezilla has something to do with disk less boot, create boot image
[12:14] <dissident> if i dual boot and i format one disk is it possible i cannot boot again with the other
[12:15] <dissident> i read somewhere i could solve that with dos boot disk
[12:15] <ikonia> dissident: depends whereyou menus.lst is and your grub boot sector
[12:15] <dissident> fdisk /mbr
[12:15] <dissident> is that correct ?
[12:15] <ikonia> dissident: that depends on the questions I've just asked
[12:16] <dissident> ok
[12:16] <erUSUL> dissident: fixmbr on winXP
[12:16] <sebrock> I need to play a sound file (anything really, a silent works too) in order to remove a scratching sound that is created when ALSA initiates. How can I automate this? I put "aplay silence.wav" in rc.local but that didnt help. If I execute it manually after boot it works fine?
[12:16] <dissident> how to use fixmbr please
[12:16] <bobba> hey guys i need help.. im trying to install latest ubuntu, but i got bus error * can't start hardware abstration layer - please ensure dbus is running
[12:16] <sebrock> dissident: man fixmbr
[12:16] <ikonia> dissident join #windows if you inist on doing that
[12:16] <ikonia> sebrock: its not a unix command so man won't work
[12:16] <sebrock> right
[12:16] <dissident> ok
[12:16] <sebrock> then why even ask here
[12:17] <ikonia> sebrock: because he didn't know
[12:17] <ikonia> sebrock: why offer garbage advice if you know the answer, point him at the right place to get support
[12:17] <sebrock> alright then, just put in you windows cd and try recover
[12:17] <erUSUL> sebrock: i thought it was asking hwo to recover a windows boot sector... my mistake
[12:17] <bobba> hey guys i need help.. im trying to install latest ubuntu, but i got bus error * can't start hardware abstration layer - please ensure dbus is running
[12:17] <onats> anyone here have used a netvista 2200?
[12:18] <brobostigon> no idea bobba: sorry
[12:18] <bobba>  :(
[12:18] <sebrock> I need to play a sound file (anything really, a silent works too) in order to remove a scratching sound that is created when ALSA initiates. How can I automate this? I put "aplay silence.wav" in rc.local but that didnt help. If I execute it manually after boot it works fine?
[12:18] <brobostigon> bobba: have you looked at the ubuntu forums??maybe other people have had the same problem??
[12:19] <Sollos> o.-
[12:19] <ikonia> sebrock: I believe xmms can be launched to play a file off a command line also
[12:19] <ikonia> sebrock: you may find that a better alternative, if not a weaker tool
[12:19] <sebrock> ikonia: well aplay does too?
[12:20] <ikonia> sebrock: but that doesn't appear to be working for you
[12:20] <noiesmo> sebrock, put the full path to the file ie "aplay /path/to/file/silence.wav"
[12:20] <sebrock> ikonia: strange is that I can manually open a terminal and to it right after boot without problem
[12:20] <ikonia> sebrock: have you put in some debug to make sure it actually runs the script, just a say "touch /tmp/worked" line in the rc sciprt
[12:20] <bobba> brobostigo: the forums didnt help.. search key words had no matches
[12:20] <sebrock> noiesmo: thats what I have, without the quotes in rc.local
[12:21] <brobostigon> ok, i dont know how to help anyfurther, sorry bobba/
[12:21] <noiesmo> sebrock,  I put "aplay silence.wav" in rc.local what you said above
[12:21] <GOdFAThe1> I need help copying a directory and its contents into an already existing directory with its own contents
[12:21] <erUSUL> sebrock: has /etc/rc.local execution bit on?
[12:21] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1 use nautalis or use cp -R
[12:21] <bobba> its okay
[12:21] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: when I use cp -r I get cannot overwrite non-directory
[12:22] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: cp -R
[12:22] <ikonia> not -r
[12:22] <sebrock> noiesmo: ok I have the full path
[12:22] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: oops
[12:22] <sebrock> erUSUL: yes, it executes fancontrol fine
[12:22] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: use the gui
[12:22] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: same issue -r, -R same problem
[12:22] <brobostigon> use nautilus
[12:22] <GOdFAThe1> I dont have permissions using GUI from what I can tell
[12:22] <ikonia> sebrock have youpu t a debug line
[12:23] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: the gui is launched by the same user you are using on the command line
[12:23] <brobostigon> start nautilus fom cli with root permissions
[12:23] <ikonia> brobostigon: he shoulnd't need root
[12:23] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: But to do anything in the terminal I need to type sudo
[12:23] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: I have denied permissions otherwise for some reason
[12:23] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: please show me ls -la in a pastebin of the directory you want to copy from, and the directory you want to copy to
[12:24] <brobostigon> i agree, but he might no have proper permmisons to do what he wants as user.
[12:24] <ikonia> brobostigon: then lets find out instead of telling him to use root blindly
[12:24] <dbe> How can I solve this?: apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 says "libgtk2.0-0 is already the newest version". ./configure in IceCat says "checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 1.3.7... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. ".
[12:24] <brobostigon> ok
[12:24] <GOdFAThe1> ok brb
[12:24] <ikonia> dbe: your package config path is not se correctly, however if you don't know how that works I suggest you don't try to build your own software
[12:25] <diogofsr> dbe: Install the -dev one.
[12:25] <NixPanther> !pastebin

[12:25] <ikonia> diogofsr: no
[12:25] <dbe> ikonia: I know how to set the path but the suggested file does not exist.
[12:25] <ikonia> dbe: what is the suggested file ? and its not the "path" you need to set

[12:27] <Acksaw> hey guys, i need an easy to install ubuntu without a cd-rom
[12:27] <sebrock> ikonia: no not at the moment, but as I said, fancontrol in rc.local executes fine, so it does execute
[12:27] <erUSUL> sebrock: i take you used full path to file.wav.... aplay /full/path/to/file.wav
[12:27] <sebrock> erUSUL:  yes
[12:28] <diffr> i try to run the following command: cxacrufw-extract ~/CnxEtU.sys ~/cxacru-fw.bin but i get the message that cxacrufw-extract command is not found... What should I do ?
[12:28] <brobostigon> acksaw: do you mean install via network, if so there is a doc on help,ubuntu.com, i think.
[12:28] <Acksaw> nice
[12:28] <adante> hi can someone tell me the correect format to run find and execute some command on a file?
[12:28] <Acksaw> can that be done over a crossover cable? I assume so brobostigon
[12:28] <brobostigon> no idea acksaw
[12:28] <adante> i am trying find . '*.bla' -exec ls {} but it says -exec is missing an argument
[12:29] <erUSUL> adante: use xargs
[12:29] <brobostigon> acksaw, its probel good to have a look at the forums too.
[12:29] <Acksaw> cant find the article on help.ub..
[12:30] <sebrock> ikonia, erUSUL: this is what it looks like: fancontrol
[12:30] <sebrock> aplay /home/sebastian/silence.wav
[12:30] <dbe> diffr: That worked. Thanks.
[12:30] <erUSUL> adante: find . -name <pattern> -print0 | xargs -0 ls
[12:31] <Acksaw> access to another network machine that is already running Ubuntu
[12:31] <Acksaw> i dont have this
[12:31] <Acksaw> so that won't work.
[12:31] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: did you get that link I posted?
[12:31] <adante> erUSUL: does xargs automatically append the filename to the command?
[12:31] <onats> cool! found out something new today..clonezilla is like norton ghost... but does it work on windows machines?
[12:32] <erUSUL> sebrock: maybe introducing a delay? sleep n (in seconds)
[12:32] <erUSUL> adante: thats the whole purpose of the command
[12:32] <ikonia> GIMP22: sorry no, I was on the phone
[12:32] <ikonia> ops
[12:32] <diffr> i try to run the following command: cxacrufw-extract ~/CnxEtU.sys ~/cxacru-fw.bin but i get the message that cxacrufw-extract command is not found... What should I do ?
[12:32] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: sorry no I was on the phone
[12:32] <sebrock> erUSUL: maybe, I'm gonna try to put another wave file in and see how it works
[12:32] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47213/
[12:33] <Acksaw> brobostigon, is there not a floppy install disk?
[12:33] <erUSUL> diffr: install it? maybe it is not instaled by default
[12:33] <IdleOne> !install | Acksaw have you checked out this link ?
[12:33] <ubotu> Acksaw have you checked out this link ?: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[12:33] <adante> erUSUL: okay, how would i construct a command of the form "fish $file someargs" ?
[12:33] <brobostigon> no that i know of acksaw.
[12:33] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: why have you installed all that as root ?
[12:33] <naturesss> help me preference>>appearance.... why work normal  ???
[12:33] <naturesss> help me preference>>appearance.... why work normal  ???
[12:33] <diffr> i downloaded a tar.gz file which had only the file cxacru-fw.bin which i extracted on desktop
[12:34] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: you need to do "sudo cp -R /usr/games/quake3/* /usr/local/games/quake3
[12:34] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: Im a newb should I have done it otherwise?
[12:34] <ikonia> differentreality: ./cxacru-fw.bin
[12:34] <brobostigon> acksaw, does the machine have usb ports, you could boot of a usb stick with the install on it,
[12:34] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: seems overkill unpacking it all at root
[12:34] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: but certainly not the end of the world
[12:34] <erUSUL> diffr: i tried to find it here on gutsy but i filed.... what how-to are you following?
[12:34] <Acksaw> brobostigon, i think it is too old to have the usb boot capability
[12:35] <brobostigon> ok
[12:35] <differentreality> it says permission denied... i follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/AccessRunner
[12:35] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: Is there a pro or con to installing stuff as root or otherwise?
[12:35] <Acksaw> basiaclly what it is is, I have kubuntu on the PC at the moment, the PC in kubuntu WILL detect both the HDD and the cd rom but the bios DOES NOT therefore i cannot install ubuntu..
[12:35] <Acksaw> i have tried different jumpers etc brobostigon but no lunk
[12:35] <wols> differentreality: it's a firmware
[12:36] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: well, dagerous to install anything as root that you don't undertstand, only root can access it which means your personal environment info won't be available as root
[12:36] <wols> Acksaw: what PC is it? intebased with IC8 or later?
[12:36] <Acksaw> no idear
[12:36] <Acksaw> its a celeron 1.2ghz
[12:36] <erUSUL> adante: usually someargs are before the $file ... find . -name <pattern> -print0 | xargs -0 command someargs
[12:36] <differentreality> wols yes i almost know what it is... the thing is it does NOT work!
[12:36] <brobostigon> i dont know what to advise, this is beyond my knowledge,acksaw
[12:36] <wols> Acksaw: what mainboard chipset?
[12:36] <Acksaw> not 100% sure wols
[12:36] <wols> differentreality: how do you know?
[12:37] <Acksaw> as i says, its a celeron 1.2ghz thats all i know wols
[12:37] <naturesss> help me preference>>appearance.... why bug  ???
[12:37] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: How come I need permissions using GUI if I do everything with root?
[12:37] <differentreality> wols if it works when i connect my modem it is supposed to be tring to activate the line which results in a red light switching on and off.. this doesnt happen in my case
[12:37] <wols> naturesss: google "smart questions"
[12:37] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: or as root...?
[12:37] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: you've not got permissions using the gui, thats the problem
[12:38] <wols> differentreality: the howto clearly tells you what to do with that file.learn to read
[12:38] <adante> erUSUL: nm, figured out how to use -exec :)
[12:38] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: is there a way to get them?
[12:38] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: gkusudo
[12:38] <ikonia> gksudo
[12:38] <erUSUL> adante: no problem
[12:38] <adante> erUSUL: thanks for help
[12:38] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia: do you advise against doing so?
[12:38] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: on doing what ?
[12:39] <differentreality> I do exactly as it says.. only that the second command is not excecuted
[12:39] <GOdFAThe1> ikonia:  gksudo for rights?
[12:39] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: what advice do you want ?
[12:39] <ikonia> GOdFAThe1: thats the command
[12:39] <wols> differentreality: you have a cxacru-fw.bin right?
[12:39] <differentreality> wols yes
[12:39] <wols> differentreality: there you have it. now use your brain for a second
[12:39] <ikonia> wols I think it's on his desktop and he's not in the desktop dir
[12:39] <differentreality> i am
[12:40] <wols> ikonia: he tries to run a unecessary command since he is unable to use one of his 2 remaining braincells
[12:40] <ikonia> wols: I've not followed the whole post
[12:40] <IdleOne> wols: if your having a bad day or maybe just a litle tired of doing tech support perhaps you need to take a break. being rude and insulting does not help anybody
[12:41] <differentreality> wols how am I exactly supposed to know if it necessary or not since i'm not familiar with linux and I 'm trying to learn ?
[12:41] <wols> IdleOne: suit yourself and help him then
[12:41] <riotkittie>  isnt this the same guy who was nasty to some guy for his english the other day. T:
[12:41] <dissident> did anyone try ntfs on linux from paragon company ?
[12:41] <wols> riotkittie: !ops is the command if you feel like it
[12:41] <ikonia> dissident not from paragon
[12:42] <ikonia> dissident: the ntfs-3g drivers are included
[12:42] <wols> dissident: why would you when there is ntfs-3g in ubuntu
[12:42]  * elkbuntu looks at wols
[12:42] <IdleOne> wols: I dont know his issue and probably cant help him. I am not telling you to not help i am saying that I have noticed for the past few days you being rude to a few users and honestly that is against #ubuntu channel rules and the CoC.
[12:42] <dissident> is ntfs-3g that good ?
[12:42] <IdleOne> err #ubuntu
[12:42] <ikonia> dissident: its becoming more acceptable
[12:42] <riotkittie> ah ha, so it *is* that guy ;)
[12:42] <ikonia> dissident: I still don't use it, but most people who are using it report well of it
[12:43] <IdleOne> riotkittie: yes as a matter of fact
[12:43] <riotkittie> dissident: it seems to be okay. i use it sparingly as i really dont use NTFS.
[12:44] <ikonia> dissident: just remember it "can" cause corruption,  but reports of those issues semm much less
[12:44] <riotkittie> ^ yea. and i'd be wary of using it if you dont have a win OS installed... or use it on a portable drive and have access to a win OS
[12:45] <wols> I'd be more wary of the paragon software
[12:45] <qiyong> is it safe for production server to upgrade from feisy to gusty?
[12:45] <ikonia> I think is also a fair comment
[12:45] <ikonia> qiyong: thats your call if its production
[12:45] <dissident> will paragon be better or worse then, cause i have a sata disk with old game roms (you know them) and i want to use them on an emulator
[12:45] <ikonia> dissident: contact paragone for support questions
[12:45] <erUSUL> differentreality: to run a binary file on the same directory you are on you have to call it like this ./cxacru-fw.bin
[12:45] <wols> dissident: netfs-3g is in ubuntu, paragon is not
[12:45] <ikonia> dissident: its going to be personal opinion
[12:46] <wols> erUSUL: if only it were a bianry to be called
[12:46] <dissident> and i am not planning on using a windows os ever again
[12:46] <differentreality> erUSUL it says that cannto execute binary file
[12:46] <wols> dissident: then why do you keep ntfs partitions around?
[12:46] <dissident> so that is why i want it to be ok
[12:46] <ikonia> dissident: then use the ntfs read only driver and copy them off
[12:46] <erUSUL> differentreality: try chmod +x cxacrufw-extract
[12:47] <wols> for simply copying over the data to somewhere else you can just as well use ntfs kernel support which is read only
[12:47] <riotkittie> how large is this drive? why not copy things over and format it to a linux friendly file system
[12:47] <wols> erUSUL: have you read the howto he linked to?
[12:47] <erUSUL> wols: nope
[12:47] <wols> erUSUL: it shows
[12:47] <dissident> that seems usefull
[12:48] <differentreality> erUSUL i tried chmod +x cxacru-fw.bin and then i got the message i told you... as far as what u say is concerned i get th emessage cxacrufw-extract: no such file or directory
[12:48] <ikonia> dissident: your missing a dir it wants
[12:48] <ikonia> dissident: I've not read your how to, but the error is saying " I can't find the directory cxacrufw-extract"
[12:48] <ikonia> oops
[12:48] <erUSUL> differentreality: i have to go for a few minutes sorry
[12:48] <ikonia> not dissident
[12:48] <differentreality> :/
[12:48] <ikonia> differentreality: I've not read your how to, but the error is saying " I can't find the directory cxacrufw-extract"
[12:49] <ikonia> differentreality: your missing a dir it wants
[12:49] <wols> ikonia: it isn't saying that either
[12:49] <wols> he is not
[12:49] <brobostigon> :-(
[12:49] <ikonia> wols: the error "no such file or dir" seems a reasonable warning
[12:49] <ikonia> wols: am I missing something from his howto ?
[12:49] <wols> ikonia: xcacrufw-extract certainly isn't a directory
[12:49] <ikonia> wols: another propriatary binary ?
[12:50] <dissident> is this possible : in windows xp creating a linux partition on another hdd
[12:50] <wols> it's a (in this case) unneeded script/program
[12:50] <ikonia> dissident: not really
[12:50] <dissident> copy all my stuff over there
[12:50] <ikonia> wols: ok so he's missing a file rather than a directory
[12:50] <wols> dissident: yes
[12:50] <wols> ikonia: why wouldn't it be possible
[12:50] <wols> dissident: but why you'd want to creat one I don't know
[12:50] <ikonia> wols: unless he's using fat32 he'd have to use tools like the ext2 drivers
[12:51] <wols> creating a partition can be done with any fdisk
[12:51] <ikonia> wols: he doesn't actually mean partition, he mines file system that can be accessed
[12:51] <dissident> because then i copy my files to linux part and then i delete my windows and replace it with linux os
[12:51] <ikonia> wols: although he said the word partition, his previous posts suggest he wants a file system
[12:51] <wols> creating a filesystem in that partition is something else. but even that can be done afaik (partition magic should be able to for example)
[12:51] <Cyclopes> i have to modprobe one of my devices manually every time i boot, is there any way to automate this task?
[12:52] <dissident> i have an extra hdd you see
[12:52] <CRoWsNeST> is ther person
[12:52] <wols> Cyclopes: man modules
[12:52] <CRoWsNeST> that was help me in here
[12:52] <CRoWsNeST> i sure hope so plz are u here
[12:52] <wols> !ask | CRoWsNeST
[12:52] <ubotu> CRoWsNeST: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:52] <Jay-Oh-En> how do i get this page to work for me http://208.57.3.117/Tegrity/NV%20Holistic%20Rubric/Class/Sun.htm
[12:52] <differentreality> so now what do i do? :/ on desktop i have 3 files... CnxEtU.sys (windows drivers of the modem)  cxacru.tar.gz (which I downloaded) cxacru-fw.bin (which I extracted from the previous .gz - not through the command line though)
[12:53] <zancik_> who has key for turboprint?
[12:54] <IdleOne> zancik: this is not a warez channel
[12:54] <wols> zancik_: turboprint gives one to you for a small sum
[12:54] <IdleOne> zancik: turboprint will give you a key if you pay them for it
[12:55] <CRoWsNeST> what the other ubuntu help room
[12:55] <CRoWsNeST> any one in here now
[12:55] <zancik_>  <IdleOne> oh yea fuck paying)

[12:56] <tejas> i want to add a column to my table but its not working update.php runs successfully but there is no column add to table. can any one tell me de solution?
[12:56] <wols> tejas:
[12:56] <wols> tejas: #web, #php
[12:56] <dissident> i make it clear : in windows i format another hdd to linux format, i put my files on it, format my windows os put linux os on it and then i use the files on tha other linux hdd ?
[12:56] <ikonia> tejas: join #php
[12:57] <tejas> oh sorry..
[12:57] <wols> dissident: doesn't make sense. copy the files you want to keep to a backup. format the windows partition. done
[12:58] <wols> dissident: all can be done under ubuntu. what you can and should do under windows if you wish is of no concern of this channel. ask ##windows instead
[12:58] <dissident> yes but that back has to be better ext3 or not ?
[12:58] <wols> if you want to do something under windows that is
[12:58] <wols> no it hasn't
[13:00] <dissident> ok, so getting thing and reading is no problem , i don't need something fancy then, cause when i was in ubuntu i couldn't read my windows hard drive
[13:00] <ibanez> hey guys, quick question, how do i kill a window in irssi ?
[13:00] <ibanez> lol
[13:00] <riotkittie>  /window close ?
[13:00] <mike1234> hi could anyone point me in the right direction to getting my scroll arrows to work, ie, you hold you scroll button down and then a cross hair apears and you can move the window up, down, left and right
[13:01] <ibanez> ah
[13:01] <ibanez> ty
[13:01] <Sharpie> when i press the quit button it freezes my entire desktop
[13:01] <riotkittie> yw
[13:01] <wols> dissident: we gave you over time at least 2 ways to read it. and we're vers sure they worked in ubuntu for several versions now
[13:01] <elkbuntu> ibanez, i dont use irssi, but irssi.org has lots of info and stuff, it might be useful you look there to find out all there is to know :)
[13:01] <ibanez> i use xchat
[13:01] <ibanez> lol
[13:01] <ibanez> but i am playing with irssi
[13:01] <ibanez> cause im bored
[13:01] <ibanez> i've checked out their site and read
[13:01] <ibanez> it's nice
[13:01] <wols> ibanez: welcome to the light
[13:01] <ibanez> but never told me that i don't tink :P
[13:01] <ibanez> lol ty
[13:02] <dissident> ok thanks
[13:02] <simmerz> does the flash plugin work in amd64 firefox properly? wondering whether to put amd64 ubuntu on my laptop or i386, but I need to have flash, and also wine must work properly
[13:02] <elkbuntu> ibanez, there is also #irssi here on freenode :)
[13:02] <ibanez> oh nice
[13:02] <ibanez> ty elkbuntu :)
[13:02] <wols> simmerz: there is no 64bit flash
[13:02] <ibanez> it wasn't listed on their site
[13:02] <Gorlist> afternoon
[13:02] <ibanez> only efnet and ircnet
[13:02] <Sharpie> when i press the quit button (the one that shows the shutdown options), it freezes my entire desktop. anyone know how to fix this?
[13:02] <simmerz> wols: no, but the flashplugin-nonfree package is available for amd64
[13:02] <wols> simmerz: no
[13:03] <simmerz> wols: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=flash&searchon=names&subword=1&version=gutsy&release=all
[13:03] <Gorlist> slight Gnome problem :) ive got some menu entries in Applications/Other which doesn't seem to want to delete via the menu manager?
[13:03] <simmerz> wols: 9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12: amd64 i386
[13:03] <wols> simmerz: it will not work in 64bit firefox
[13:03] <zzats> simmerz: I'd go for i386
[13:03] <wols> unless you run it under nspluginwrapper
[13:03] <simmerz> wols: ok
[13:03] <wols> simmerz: how much RAM do you have?
[13:03] <shiester_miester> gday everyone
[13:03] <simmerz> want to up to 4GB
[13:04] <zzats> simmerz: the pros of running 64bit are very marginal. it's propably a good idea to go for i386 in desktop-oriented installation as a general rule
[13:04] <wols> simmerz: i386 can only use up to 3.5GB per process at most
[13:04] <shiester_miester> I'm having some trouble getting Flash to work in gutsy, especially with sound
[13:04] <shiester_miester> the sound is working in everything else
[13:04] <tich> what is the best/recommended codec for streaming video?
[13:04] <shiester_miester> anyone have a guide/howto to installing flash
[13:04] <simmerz> wols: that's fine, but the system as a whole can address the whole 4GB? as in, 4GB is visible to the system
[13:04] <simmerz> ?
[13:04] <wols> shiester_miester: run the browser from an xterm, check for any messages in the xterm when you play flash with sound
[13:04] <shiester_miester> good idea
[13:04] <Sharpie> when i press the quit button (the one that shows the shutdown options), it freezes my entire desktop. does anyone know how to fix this?
[13:05] <shiester_miester> also the adobe plugin won't install, just the open source one\
[13:05] <shiester_miester> :/
[13:05] <xvoltagexx> can you shut down from the command line Sharpie?
[13:05] <shiester_miester> its installed, but not
[13:05] <Sharpie> xvoltagexx: yes
[13:05] <wols> shiester_miester: gnash is far from usable and flas from adobe is currently borked
[13:05] <xvoltagexx> could be your video card
[13:05] <shiester_miester> oh is it
[13:05] <shiester_miester> so both aren't good atm?
[13:06] <Sharpie> xvoltagexx: why the heck would my video card freeze 1 specific dialog?
[13:06] <simmerz> wols: is that correct?
[13:06] <shiester_miester> whats wrong with the adobe one?
[13:06] <DanDMan> Heyall
[13:06] <GOdFAThe1> shiester_miester: mine works fine...
[13:06] <wols> shiester_miester: can't be downloaded cause md5 is wrong
[13:06] <wols> since adobe updated theirs
[13:06] <DanDMan> oka then
[13:06] <xvoltagexx> that is a video card intensive action
[13:06] <shiester_miester> :/
[13:07] <Sharpie> xvoltagexx: if my video card can handle bioshock, it can handle that dialog
[13:07] <Sharpie> xvoltagexx: also, i've been on ubuntu for about 2 monthes now and it started yesterday
[13:07] <rssde> What is the main differende between a kernel module and a program?
[13:07] <GOdFAThe1> shiester_miester: did you do this? http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux
[13:07] <wols> kernel module runs in kernelspace, programs in userspace
[13:08] <xvoltagexx> not sure what to tell ya Sharpie
[13:09] <wols> Sharpie: what changed yesterday or the day before? and: does shutting down from the commandline work?
[13:09] <shiester_miester> GOdFAThe1, yeah i tried to run the rpm with no success, lol
[13:09] <shiester_miester> should I do the tar or the YUM? :/
[13:09] <wols> shiester_miester: tar
[13:09] <GOdFAThe1> tar
[13:09] <shiester_miester> k
[13:09] <GOdFAThe1> lol
[13:09] <GOdFAThe1> :P
[13:09] <wols> shiester_miester: if you really must download it from there (which is bad)
[13:09] <GOdFAThe1> wols: worked fine for me??
[13:09] <shiester_miester> why is it bad?
[13:10] <bTz> I have some trouble with my soundcard in ubuntu 7.10.. i can only have one program open at a time that uses sound. if i have rythmbox open and then open VLC, vlc gets no sound.. and vice versa.. anyone know what this might me ?
[13:10] <shiester_miester> !worksforme
[13:10] <bTz> be
[13:10] <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/
[13:10] <wols> cause it bypasses your package management
[13:10] <shiester_miester> wols, what would you recommend?
[13:11] <shiester_miester> i installed it with apt-get, but its like it wasn't recognised by firefox
[13:11] <wols> shiester_miester: checking postinst files for flashplayer-nonfree, however I dunno if you are able to correct the md5 problem there
[13:11] <wols> shiester_miester: what exactly did you install?
[13:11] <Sharpie> xvoltagexx: fixed it -_-
[13:11] <shiester_miester> sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree
[13:12] <Sharpie> xvoltagexx: it's because i removed gnome-power-manager from startup because i thought it was unnecessary :/
[13:12] <shiester_miester> and then i installed gnash which /sort of/ worked
[13:12] <shiester_miester> but it didnt have any sound and killed the cpu
[13:13] <cosmodad> can anyone give a recommendation on whether I should use powersaved or powernowd? which one is the default manager in Ubuntu?
[13:14] <chazco> Anyone able to help with: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608760 - Further info is that it also affects XP (or other OSes) under VirtualBox on 7.10, but not when ran by themselves. I think its something to do with 7.10's networking...
[13:14] <flysohigh> hi
[13:14] <ss_> Hi folks
[13:14] <ss_> HUAWEI ETS2551 Wireless modem works fine under Ubuntu. I have a little question. can some one identify that packages ( i mean driver packages) that relate to it specifically?
[13:14] <ss_> Actually I want to module these drivers for Slax to enable it to run this wireless mode. Any ideas?
[13:15] <gvsa123> help please... i can't get to the GUI of firestarter... i have sudo firestarter --start-hidden in start up, but no icon appears in the system tray... nor can i get to the GUI via system>admin>firestarter... i can see that it's running though through sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter status
[13:15] <wols> gvsa123: what happens when you try to start its gui?
[13:15] <gvsa123> wols: nothing... \
[13:16] <danbhfive> chazco: have you tried firebug?
[13:16] <cleaton> what does it say if you write firestartar in the console?
[13:16] <chazco> Probably... not firefox though, also gets IE in the Virtualbox on 7.10
[13:17] <Sharpie> what is user folders update? (in Sessions)
[13:17] <gvsa123> wols: it's still running though... i've also tried replacing the start up command with gksu, with -s and --start, with /usr/sbin/firestarter start, but still no GUI
[13:17] <CRoWsNeST> any one know what that room campiz-fuison is called
[13:17] <CRoWsNeST> i need in there fast
[13:17] <wols> gvsa123: open an xterm and try to start it from there
[13:17] <shiester_miester> wols, running the installer from the tar worked, but it still doesn't have any sound :(
[13:17] <danbhfive> chazco: I responded on the forums
[13:18] <Sharpie> CRoWsNeST: #compiz-fusion ?
[13:18] <brobostigon> compiz-fusion
[13:18] <wols> shiester_miester: I told you what to look for
[13:18] <shiester_miester> oh yeah i did run it in a terminal, it spat out a bunch of error messages\
[13:18] <gvsa123> cleaton: with plain firestarter, i get insufficient priviledges...
[13:18] <wols> CRoWsNeST: you've been told before: #ubuntu-effects
[13:18] <shiester_miester> i'll try it again since i got the adobe plugin working
[13:18] <scowby> 'lo all
[13:18] <wols> gvsa123: you need to be root probably
[13:18] <gvsa123> wols: how do i do xterm?
[13:19] <wols> gvsa123: open a terminal
[13:19] <shiester_miester> wols, strangely enough, no output in the terminal this time\
[13:19] <gvsa123> wols: i know... but i also have myself added in sudo visudo to have nopasswd as suggested in their website
[13:19] <shiester_miester> must have been some problems with gnash
[13:20] <shiester_miester> but the adobe pugin generates no output
[13:20] <shiester_miester> *plugin
[13:20] <gvsa123> wols: with sudo firestarter i get: refused by server, xlib no protocol specified, cannot open display
[13:21] <gvsa123> wols: i also get that even if i stop the daemon
[13:21] <shiester_miester> anybody else had any problems with getting audio to work in flash?
[13:21] <CRoWsNeST> what the other ubunte room called
[13:22] <CRoWsNeST> that i just ask for no tot long ago some gave it to me with a - in it
[13:22] <scowby> hey all, i'm trying to get sound working under VMWare.  In the instructions it's telling me to add some drivers, or to configure a driver.  Something dealing with OSS - which is some sort of sound utility??? - I dunno.  Anyone know about "configuring OSS" or what this is?
[13:22] <shiester_miester> CRoWsNeST, do you mean #ubuntu-offtopic?
[13:22] <scowby> shiester: no specifically, but sound in general
[13:22] <CRoWsNeST> no
[13:22] <bazhang> CRoWsNeST: would you like a list of irc channels?
[13:22] <scowby> shiester: what version ubuntu you running?
[13:22] <shiester_miester> 7.10
[13:23] <scowby> do you know much about the sound drivers installed?
[13:23] <gvsa123> wols: must be something with my gutsy install since i never had problems with edgy and feisty and i have all the same configs following the steps in their website
[13:23] <CRoWsNeST> it was like campiz fusion
[13:23] <CRoWsNeST> or somthing
[13:23] <scowby> like 'alsa' or 'oss" ?
[13:23] <danbhfive> compiz-fusion
[13:23] <shiester_miester> CRoWsNeST, that has absolutely nothign to do with ubuntu whatsoever
[13:23] <riotkittie> #ubuntu-effects?  that channel's dead, AFAIK
[13:23] <shiester_miester> #compiz-fusion
[13:24] <riotkittie>  forwards there, if it still forwards. yea.
[13:24] <IdleOne> riotkittie: it forwards to compiz-fusion
[13:24] <CRoWsNeST> grrrrrrr i lost it
[13:24] <scowby> sheister: i've heard of youtube vids not playing sound sometimes - which i believe uses the Flash player.  Related perhaps?  I dunno...
[13:24] <rssde> wound you say the main difference between a kernel module and a user program is that a module doesnt run sequentially?
[13:24] <IdleOne> CRoWsNeST: what do you need help with?
[13:25] <scowby> rssde: kernel module supports the Kernel - the runtime operating system.  User Program runs ON TOP OF the Kernel.
[13:25] <scowby> rssde: do you mean that the kernel is multi-threaded?
[13:26] <rssde> scowby, thats the biggest difference?
[13:26] <chazco> Trying firebug now, not having any luck :(
[13:26] <rssde> scowby, just read that modules dont run sequentially.
[13:26] <danbhfive> er, no luck?
[13:26] <chazco> It doesnt seem to work unless the page actually loads
[13:27] <danbhfive> yeah, exactly
[13:27] <chazco> Which means i cant get any info from it
[13:27] <danbhfive> the page doesnt even load?
[13:27] <chazco> Not fully... it gets a little way then stops
[13:28] <chazco> Only does this on Ubuntu 7.10
[13:28] <danbhfive> well, firebug will still work
[13:28] <chazco> If i click "Stop" then it displays some info
[13:28] <GOdFAThe1> when I run  sudo echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss I get a permission denied eventhough I have dwrx permission for all item
[13:28] <chazco> 55 requests, 1.2 minutes (it hadnt loaded by then when i clicked stop)
[13:29] <danbhfive> er, at least it has in the past, try opening a new tab, open firebug, and go to the NET tab, THEN put in the address and load the page
[13:29] <chazco> When i clicked stop it showed more stuff... everything seems to have taken ages to load compared to other sites
[13:29] <wols> gvsa123: you need gksudo, not sudo

[13:30] <dreaper> hello
[13:30] <dreaper> anybody see me?!?
[13:30] <IdleOne> hey dreaper
[13:30] <danbhfive> chazcoL did it work?
[13:30] <GOdFAThe1> wols when I run  sudo echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss I get a permission denied eventhough I have drwxr permission for all items
[13:30]  * chazco wants to get space back from dual-boot and cant until this works
[13:30] <gvsa123> wols: i think i found a solution... tried that already... i'll restart and report back just to see if it works...
[13:30] <xvoltagexx> hello dreaper
[13:30] <chazco> danbhfive - same as before
[13:30] <dreaper> do you speak polish
[13:30] <danbhfive> chazco: what do you mean?   firebug shows nothing?
[13:30] <dreaper> ??!?!
[13:31] <chazco> It does when i click stop to interupt firefox
[13:31] <wols> GOdFAThe1: sudo bash then "echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss"

[13:32] <chazco> firebug shows some .asp page and thats it... nothing else until i click stop
[13:32] <Kamilion> Howdy folks, running gutsy for 3 months now, normally stable, about an hour ago I was reading a pdf in evince with firefox in the background, whole system froze and my caps lock and scroll lock lights were blinking. What does this indicate?
[13:32] <danbhfive> chazco: well, do you see anything taking a long time to load under the net tab?  I don't think I, or possibly anyone else, can help much without knowing the webpage
[13:32] <rssde> scowby, I was just currious what the biggest difference was, found a page that said "kernel module doesn't run sequentially"
[13:33] <wols> Kamilion: kernel crash
[13:33] <Kamilion> Do the lights mean anything specific?
[13:33] <danbhfive> chazco: but firebug shows something, right?
[13:33] <chazco> Nothing seems to be causing it in particular :( I've heard that before, but i cant get a temp loging or anything
[13:33] <GOdFAThe1> wols: Thanks, what did "sudo bash" actually do, forgive me for being new at this
[13:33] <wols> GOdFAThe1: starts a root shell
[13:33] <Kamilion> I checked /var/log/*, but the kernel must have crashed hard.
[13:33] <speedhunt3r> can anyone tell me where to copy the bootstrap files for windows xp if I want to do a PXE lan setup?
[13:34] <danbhfive> chazco: is this a banking site?
[13:34] <chazco> This is particularly annoying because even virtualbox cant help... so I need to duel-boot
[13:34] <wols> GOdFAThe1: sudo doesn't work very well on its own with echo > /to/some/proc/setting
[13:34] <chazco> Nope, university
[13:34] <Kamilion> only system change recently was installing virtualbox today. Could it's /dev be causing problems in my kernel or otherwise tainting it?
[13:34] <wols> chazco: tried it in IE yet?
[13:35] <GOdFAThe1> wols: Will I need to return it to the way it was before running sudo bash as I noticed the symbols changed from $ to #
[13:35] <Jay-Oh-En> how do i install this sun-java6-plugin
[13:35] <chazco> On a normal XP - it works... on virtualbox + XP under 7.10 it doesnt
[13:35] <Jay-Oh-En> oops wrong thing
[13:35] <chazco> wols - On a normal XP - it works... on virtualbox + XP under 7.10 it doesnt
[13:35] <wols> GOdFAThe1: might be a good idea. "exit"
[13:35] <Jay-Oh-En> never mind i got it
[13:36] <GOdFAThe1> wols: Thanks
[13:36] <speedhunt3r> can anyone tell me where to copy the bootstrap files for windows xp if I want to do a PXE lan setup?
[13:36] <wols> speedhunt3r: how is this ubuntu related?
[13:36] <speedhunt3r> wols: it's not except i installed ubuntu using the same setup and i need to install xp on a laptop with no floppies and the cdrom isn't working
[13:37] <chazco> So... i have two choices afaiks... use 7.04 (which doesnt work well with my laptop) or dual-boot XP (not enough space really)
[13:37] <zeroflag> hey. I have a LVM raid0 set up on 2 of my raptor HDDs. I just did some benchmarks (hdparm -t) which concluded that each drive has a read speed of ~65-70MB/s. however, when I do the benchmark on the combined raid0, I get the same speeds as on the single drives. any ideas what might be causing the 100% slowdown?
[13:37] <wols> speedhunt3r: key phrase "It's not". you are OT
[13:37] <Kamilion> speedhunt3r: USB CD-ROM drive.
[13:37] <speedhunt3r> wols: OT?

[13:40] <danbhfive> chazco: well, this is a random comment, but I heard awhile back that microsoft servers where somewhat hostile to firefox, there was some sort of delay that confused firefox, that wasn't in the internets protocol, but that was an IE vs FF thing
[13:41] <chazco> Works fine in Firefox on 7.04 / Vista / XP
[13:41] <gvsa123> wols: i got the solution from the forums... i added  Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn,env_reset,env_keep+="DISPLAY HOME XAUTHORIZATION" to sudoers
[13:41] <chazco> unless they're running inside virtualbox on 7.10, in which case they fail too

(The images I am creating are of various flavors of windoze, btw.)  I thought dd would do it for me, is there anything I'm doing wrong?

[14:04] <brobostigon> i think he wants to run linux inside of windoews.
[14:04] <bendable> King1, I just boot the CD and check to see if the hardware is visible.  Also, a USB drive to save the output of lspci and lsusb are handy for looking up driver support later.
[14:04] <wols> King1: test what exactly? cause compiz won't work there for example
[14:04] <jrib> King1: then install vmware and install ubuntu in it

[14:09] <bendable> If you're feeling adventurous, you can use a live gparted CD to shrink your windows partition, then create a linux partition to install your test linux OS on.  If you don't like what you get, you can always use gparted to delete the linux partition and expand your windows partition back to what it once was.
[14:10] <wols> King1: there is a wlan chip inside that usbkey. we need to know what chip this is exactly. its name and type
[14:10] <wols> (lastlog dreaper

[14:29] <CODEMUTANT> NO. i don mind that option too. but more importantly i want to load linux installed in my hard disk without installin grub on my hard disk mbr. ie. through cd.
[14:29] <bazhang> King1: not for todays purposes
[14:29] <brobostigon> bonkers-matt: use mkfs.look up the man page.
[14:30] <CODEMUTANT> i mean without installin grub on my hard disk mbr.

[14:31] <brobostigon> look up mkfs man page, and then use mkfs with the /dev/** oof your usb drive.
[14:31] <Roman123> Hello, I'm not sure that my problem is directly related to compiz or ubuntu but an ubuntu expert might know how to deal with it. Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu 7.10 on a Mac Mini. Everthing works fine (also Compiz) but when I'm trying to maximize a window by pressing the maximize button, it does not maximize in vertical direction (only 2/3 of the possibe size). It looks like this one http://www.beigelbeck.net/maximize-problem.png
[14:32] <Roman123> It must have something to do with a window manager setting because the maximize from the task list applied to the window works.
[14:32] <CODEMUTANT> i have a laptop. so no floppy drive:-(

[14:33] <BFC> Sorry for asking again i have a usb harddrive and i want to expand my home directory on that harddrive how can i manage that ?
[14:33] <Roman123> I know, but may the problem is related to ubuntu. That's why I'm asking here. :)
[14:33] <Roman123> may be
[14:33] <bazhang> bonkers-matt: did you start up with the drive inserted or hotplug it?
[14:33] <brobostigon> mkfs -f ext3 /dev/** , i think
[14:33] <Enverex> Does anyone here have an issue with Wine locking up when you try and run winecfg or wineprefixcreate?
[14:34] <gordonjcp> BFC: depends on what filesystem you're using
[14:34] <bazhang> Roman123: have you checked the ubuntuforums? if you don't get an answer here, they may have something
[14:34] <Roman123> I've tried to google for the problem.
[14:34] <bonkers-matt> bazhang, i'm not sure i understand the question. i just plugged the disk in and then openned up gparted, gparted didnt list it but fdisk -l did. now i want to format the drive as FAT32
[14:34] <Roman123> But I'm not sure if I used the right keywords.
[14:35] <rgnr> i need to instal rtorrent
[14:35] <Roman123> I did not find anything
[14:35] <rgnr> where does it install it's files?
[14:35] <Roman123> btw, anyone here who installed openvz on ubuntu 7.10?
[14:35] <bazhang> bonkers-matt: you're running gutsy right? was the computer already running when you plugged in the drive (hotplug) or did you start up the computer with the drive attached
[14:35] <jrib> rgnr: dpkg -L rtorrent   will tell you, but why do you need to know?
[14:35] <rgnr> jrib: got an error  Could not read resource file: ~/.rtorrent.rc

[14:36] <bazhang> bonkers-matt: not sure what new drives are formatted in these days--could it be ntfs?
[14:37] <Oli``> I know the related security risks but how do I change the passwd policy to allow short even blank passwords?

[14:43] <EtteSB> anyone know whats causing that?
[14:43] <bonkers-matt> brobostigon, i want FAT32
[14:43] <rgnr> jrib: ok got it from repos

[14:43] <bieb> IanLiu  go to pidgin.im and download it
[14:43] <Twinkletoes> My kernel after install on VMware is (-generic).  My CPU is Interl Core(TM)2, so should I be using -386 or x86/64 kernel?
[14:43] <King1> anyone knows about WUBI ?
[14:43] <bonkers-matt> brobostigon, is it -t vfat or -t fat32?
[14:44] <brobostigon> vfat
[14:44] <rgnr> jrib: tells the same cannot find rtorrent.rc

[14:44] <EdgEy> 64bit is awkward atm if you neeed to use things like flash plugin, wine etc i would not recommend it

[14:45] <theLichKing> the menu fonts in photoshop running under wine look like crap.. is there a way to fix this?
[14:45] <whyameye> EdgEy: I run 64 bit and flash etc just uses the IA32 libs. It

[14:45] <bazhang> bonkers-matt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses for a better one :}
[14:45] <jrib> rgnr: like I said, that is not an error.  It is just telling you it did not find one.  You don't *need* to create one.  You just put custom settings you want in ~/.rtorrent.rc if you want so that everytime you start rtorrent, it will read the file and load your settings
[14:45] <auskadi> yep this is the problem - i think it is badly compiled maybe

[14:57] <BFC> sorry gordonjcp but it seems that the resize2fs is not what i was looking for i want to have my home directory which is stored at the local harddisk connected or merged with the available storage which is located in the usb harddrive
[14:57] <^root^> cannonball, that didn't help either
[14:58] <carnelain> my internal mic and front input bus don't seem to work (gutsy acer laptop)
[14:58] <BFC> so what i want to do is when the usb harddrive is connect and i store something in my home directory it should be stored at the usb harddrive
[14:59] <selvy> hay
[14:59] <BFC> it would be also the same if i could locate the whole home directory on the usb harddrive
[14:59] <usuario_base> i am using a live-cd session, and i installed the nvidia 3d drivers it says now that i have to restart... how do i do that in the same live-cd session?
[14:59] <selvy> good morning
[14:59] <Titanous> Can anyone help me??
[15:01] <erUSUL> BFC: search google for ubuntu home own partition
[15:01] <cannonball> ^root^: None of those options worked?  "alsa" or "oss" or "arts" or "esd" are common ones.  The first two access sound modules directly.  The second two connect to two common sound daemons (that interface to the modules directly).  Which you need to use depends on how your system is configured.

[15:02] <Titanous> I just booted the 7.10 Live CD on a Toshiba laptop, and all the window decorations are like this: http://img265.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotce1.png What should I do?
[15:02] <^root^> cannonball, can you please provide a link so that may save your time as well as mine, you see i am a noob and i dont want to bug you for something that can be read..
[15:03] <erUSUL> usuario_base: you can't
[15:03] <cannonball> ^root^: I don't have a link.  Another person here did send you a link on alsa, which is going to be a good one to read.
[15:03] <^root^> cannonball, okay, thanks, let me read that...
[15:03] <cannonball> ^root^: when you run mplayer, it will tell you what it's trying to use.  Here's what mine shows:
[15:03] <cannonball> AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
[15:04] <cannonball> So it's using the alsa audio output device.  Alsa stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.  It's just a kernel module that loads and presents a unified sound interface for programs to use (and share) the sound hardware.
[15:04] <cannonball> ^root^: read that url and hopefully some of this will start to sink in and make sense.  Good luck!
[15:04] <BFC> thank you erUSUL
[15:05] <Titanous> I just booted the 7.10 Live CD on a Toshiba laptop, and all the window decorations are like this: http://img265.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotce1.png What should I do?
[15:06] <usuario_base> in ubuntu 7.04 i could use the restricted nvidia drivers (i use a nvidia graphic card) and then i could restart GDM in the live cd session, how do i do that in 7.10? or to put it bluntly what is the process?

[15:53] <anto> erUSUL: i got a folder on it that i want to be loaded as the Desktop folder for my user :/
[15:54] <anto> erUSUL: not just mount it to media everytime
[15:54] <erUSUL> anto: you have to add it to /etc/fstab so it mount automatically on each boot
[15:54] <erUSUL> anto: make ~/Desktop be a symbolic link to the folder you want
[15:54] <anto> erUSUL: aah i understand now :P
[15:54] <erUSUL> anto: man ln

[15:57] <__boomer> hello, i'm trying to install ubuntu on a usb-hdd, but it's not working. has anyone here some experience with this?
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> __boomer: pendrivelinux.com is how I got mine working
[15:58] <__boomer> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, i'll take a look on that
[15:58] <avalon_> hello
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> __boomer: That may not be what you want but it had some good info I was missing
[15:59] <fsufitch> hey, i'm experiencing a problem with my KDE: none of the gnome programs are themed (they look like plain ugly buttons); this is fixed after i run gnome-appearance-properties, but it's a real pain to do so every time i log on; i looked online for answers or anything but couldn't find anything; anyone else having the same problem or a solution?
[15:59] <tifine> how can i increase the screen size in text mode ubuntu. my pc is showing the small screen as compared to graphical interface !
[15:59] <glassface> gftp sucks for me.. any ftp client with good features?
[16:00] <jrib> glassface: what features are you looking for?
[16:00] <glassface> simple
[16:00] <TheNo1Yeti> FileZilla
[16:00] <glassface> when I am typing it should goto the file
[16:00] <erUSUL> glassface: filezilla
[16:00] <jrib> glassface: wput, the 'ftp' command are simple, nautilus if you want a gui
[16:00] <glassface> gftp, filezilla requires to scroll manually to the file I require
[16:01] <robdig> fsufitch: they may have more info in #kubuntu, but if you want to run gnome-appearance-properties every time you log in, do system->preferences->sessions->add
[16:02] <fsufitch> robdig: gnome-appearance properties starts the window that allows me to pick my gnome theme; just closing that window is a PAIN; i don't like to do extra work if i don't have to ;)
[16:02] <fsufitch> i'll check in kubuntu though
[16:02] <Serenella> italiano?
[16:02] <robdig> fsufitch: understand...
[16:02] <erUSUL> glassface: if you are used to the unix shell you may prefer something like lftp or ncftp2
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !it
[16:02] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

[16:03] <Serenella> #ubuntu-it
[16:03] <glassface> erusul; i'm tired of scrolling each time to get a required file.

[16:03] <Phobos> Hi. What is the config file that I need to modify in order to specify the default session manager? (kdm/xdm/gdm)

[16:04] <ironfoot> have anyone an idea on how to get lamp configure correctly? I've followed a procedure I found on the ubuntu Forum but I get stuck with 1045 acess denied?
[16:05] <erUSUL> !lamp
[16:05] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !sound
[16:11] <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

[16:15] <juan_> hi, i have a small problem, my mozillla doesn't load swf files eventhough flashplayer is installed
[16:15] <waseem> i just cant control the volume level

[16:15] <juan_> hoe do i tell mozilla to recognize swf files?
[16:15] <yaaar> got a quick compiz-fusion question: how do i change the window decorator that starts up? right now it's emerald, and i can change it fine with gtk-window-decorator --replace once i'm running, but where do i change the decorator it runs on login?
[16:15] <reverseblade> What distro do you suggest for an old computer ? ubuntu seems not booting ?
[16:15] <kaur> Jack_Sparrow; yes
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> reverseblade: How old.. what cpu and most importantly, how much ram
[16:16] <reverseblade> Jack_Sparrow, It can run windows xp, P3  and not sure about ram gotta be 256
[16:16] <kaur> Jack_Sparrow; I could really use some help. I even moved my home dir to a new partition and made a complete reinstall but no help
[16:16] <zzillezz> i. i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and i have no windows option in the grub menu, what can i do ?
[16:17] <yaaar> reverseblade: ubuntu ought to work for you...you sure the bios has it booting off the cd?
[16:17] <Jack_Sparrow> kaur: Someone may have an answer, I did see one message about laptop drive issues.. but I have not seen it.. all my lappys have feisty
[16:17] <robdig> waseem: most apps use pcm to play audio. try double clicking on the volume control applet (2 speakers) to open up the mixer and adjust the pcm volume. if you want the single volume control to control pcm, right click on the volume control applet, preferences, and select it to control pcm
[16:17] <komputernerd> hello everybody
[16:17] <szundi> hi
[16:17] <reverseblade> yaaar, when I insert the live CD, the middle bar animation moves about 5 minutes then I got a black screen cursor is blinking on top left and booting not advances any more
[16:18] <kaur> Jack_Sparrow; I'd use feisty but it messes up frequency scaling... For me at least
[16:18] <komputernerd> I have a liveCD for Ubuntu, that I didnt label, how can I tell if it is 64bit or not
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> reverseblade: Go into cmos/bios and set shared video ram to a minimum amount for the install...  try dapper
[16:18] <waseem> robdig what is pcm?
[16:18] <zzillezz> wave
[16:18] <erUSUL> komputernerd: uname -a while it is running ;P
[16:18] <reverseblade> Jack_Sparrow, dapper ? I never liked that in deed. Can you suggest any other distro than ubuntu ?
[16:18] <komputernerd> thank you erUSUL

[16:19] <reverseblade> I don't need  speed in deed  I just need to boot it up
[16:20] <reverseblade> bro_man, do you think xubuntu will boot up whene ubuntu does not ?

[16:20] <bobbob1016> Can anyone suggest a frontend for tracker?  I have tracker-search-tool, and it finds results, but doesn't show them.
[16:20] <waseem> the sound works. currently i can only test with flash files maybe thats a prob
[16:21] <mrannanj> reverseblade: try the non graphical install option so you get to see what is the problem
[16:21] <bro_man> reverseblade: it's worth it to find out...  'Damn Small Linux" may be another option for you...
[16:21] <reverseblade> mrannanj, live CD has no non graphical install option does it ?
[16:21] <erUSUL> waseem: aplay /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav

[16:22] <zzillezz> thx, gonna have a look erUSUL
[16:23] <mrannanj> reverseblade: it must have.. just check the boot menu.. there are options you get pressing f1,f2,f3 etc
[16:23] <bro_man> reverseblade: ... both are designed for older PC's  and use very low resources
[16:23] <waseem> thanks erUSUL the test showed that the sound volume doesnt affect anything

[16:26] <erUSUL> waseem: tried alsamixer on a console yet?
[16:26] <mrannanj> reverseblade: the alternative install cd gives you nongraphical install if the livecd really fails
[16:26] <robdig> waseem: double click on the volume applet to open up the mixer, it will show you three volume controls, the pcm one is in the middle
[16:26] <olegnep_> nclife  - if you have any sort of reasonably new comp it will be ddr2
[16:26] <waseem> oh ok ill try that and no i have not tried the alsam mixer in console yet

[16:36] <ArsHermetica> eep, lemme check.
[16:36] <waseem> well the keyboard works but it cant control the sound tool (it still controls the master volume)
[16:36] <insp12> dear Ubuntu, I am using the ATi restricted drivers, and I finally was able to get my xorg.conf to detect everything right, but now when I try the compiz plugins I am getting a white screen of death

[16:47] <bro_man> Greetings, I have caused a problem in my Xubuntu backup system. I loaded the supplied drivers for an external USB HD ... now, when I unmount  the extternal HD and/or a USB thumbdrive, they do not  release them for Thunar ( the power lights stay on, current still running thru them) ... I am very conserned about destroying the data and usability of either ... is there some way to diagnose and repair this situation ?
[16:48] <insp12> foo is foo
[16:48] <robdig> foug: looks like i did samba-common and samba-client, but not sure you really need both...
[16:48] <bro_man> ... Thunar says they are unmounted, but they do not disappaer from Thunar and stay lit as well...

[16:51] <JuJuBee> I know how to extract a tar.gz file at command line, but I have a .zip file.  How do I extract it from CLI?
[16:51] <ApacheBBQ> Hello. Question from a newbie.  When I install software using the package manager...I never can find the software I installed...where exactly does it go after installation?
[16:52] <Dr_willis> JuJuBee,  unzip whatever.zip
[16:52] <kritzstapf> hi im trying to set up pulseaudio, but the startscript doesnt work, running it from a terminal works..
[16:52] <Dr_willis> JuJuBee,  or use 'unp' :)
[16:52] <erUSUL> ApacheBBQ: many packages doesn't add a menu entry. just run them from Alt+f2 for example or a terminal

[16:53] <Dr_willis> JuJuBee,  if you had asked that first.. :) i also have the answer to that!
[16:53] <ApacheBBQ> erUSUL, Will running it from a terminal give me a graphical program?
[16:53] <JuJuBee> sorry.
[16:53] <LotharTBL> Damn Dependencies!! Ok build essentials didn't include glib 1.2.6 any idea the apt-get name to install?
[16:54] <Dr_willis> JuJuBee,  unzip is one of the FEW prograsm vie seen that can do that this way.. .heh     unzip '*.zip'    NOTE the quotes.

[17:13] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  you could use the gparted tool. May be a little easier.  It will let you reisize keeping the data on sda1 intact also.
[17:13] <erUSUL> twiztr: they use the libata drivers
[17:13] <piggyg1> can that be stored on a network?

[17:13] <Slap_stick> I don't suppose anyone knows how to get java for firefox do they, i've got the libgcjwebplugin in there i did download the jre6 and copied of the libjavaplugin_oji.so to the /usr/lib/firefox directory but that crashed the brwoser
[17:13] <twiztr> So it's fine then?
[17:13] <piggyg1> thanks!
[17:14] <bobgill> Dr_willis: yes but GParted just hangs on Scanning All Devices, I can't get it to go
[17:14] <Slap_stick> but with the gcjweb plugin i get applet error on the java app
[17:14] <sharpie> is there a way to see when ubuntu was installed on my machine?
[17:14] <Roshev> "[20:12:18] <piggyg1> thanks!" иди соси!

[17:14] <GarethAdams> I'm trying to work out why the following line is producing "??" rather than the expected "ee" (or maybe "'e`e")
[17:14] <GarethAdams> echo "éè" | iconv -f utf-8 -t ascii//translit
[17:14] <bobgill> :/
[17:14] <ravi> does any one know about execlp()??please help
[17:14] <twiztr> erUSUL: So it's normal then?
[17:14] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  well.. ya may want to delete the swap partition first. then exit cfdisk.  Then restart it.  and try resizing/changing the sda1 partition.  do it all in little steps.
[17:15] <erUSUL> GarethAdams: works here
[17:15] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  you are NOT doing this to mounted filesystems are you?
[17:15] <erUSUL> twiztr: yes. you are on 7.04 isn't it?
[17:15] <GarethAdams> erUSUL: works on my Mac too, doesn't work on my linux box
[17:15] <bobgill> Dr_willis: why del the swap? It's on a different disk
[17:15] <twiztr> 7.10
[17:15] <GarethAdams> erUSUL: must be environment related but I have no idea where to look
[17:15] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  perhaps i am missreading the paste then. :) you pasted both
[17:16] <erUSUL> GarethAdams: this is ubuntu gutsy + zsh + es_ES.utf8 on gnome terminal
[17:16] <bobgill> Dr_willis: sorry my mistake... yes I only want to get rid of sdb1 and sdb2, and keep sdb3.. only on that disk
[17:16]  * Dr_willis saw the sda at the start and dident scroll down. :)
[17:16] <bobgill> :]
[17:16] <ArsHermetica> Could someone help me connect to the internet? Working off of a dell inspiron 1501 with a built in wireless card. And for somereason I cannot connect to the net
[17:16] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  i was about to say that on sda the partitions are out of order. :)  that may be whats confusing gparted.
[17:17] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  same with sdb. How did ya manage to do that.
[17:17] <bobgill> Dr_willis: really? how so ?
[17:17] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: what is the card?
[17:17] <bobgill> no idea lol
[17:17] <Dr_willis> Look at the #;s  Start and end
[17:17] <ArsHermetica> erm, how do I find that out? I just got this machine as a gift
[17:17] <bobgill> ah yes
[17:17] <bobgill> i see
[17:17] <bobgill> how can I fix that
[17:17] <Sake> how do you check the encoding of a file in linux and hten change it to utf8?
[17:17] <Smiky> Ciao a tutti !
[17:17] <Dr_willis> i would say delete sdb1 first... :)
[17:18] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: are you on the machine right now? running Gutsy?
[17:18] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  you DONT want to keep any data?

[17:18] <ArsHermetica> The machine is on and running gutsy, however I am on irc via my desktop
[17:18] <bobgill> Dr_willis: nope, sdb1 and sdb2 are old edgy install, i dont need them
[17:18] <Dr_willis> bobgill,   fire up fdisk and delete them then. dont use cfdisk. Heh.
[17:18] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: can you presently access the machine?
[17:19] <ArsHermetica> Bazhang: Yes I can
[17:19] <Dr_willis> Then make a new one.. this will trash all data on sdb1 and sdb2
[17:19] <bobgill> Dr_willis: what's the command? fdisk /dev/sdb1?
[17:19] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: open up the terminal and see what lspci says
[17:19] <Dr_willis> fdisk /dev/sdb   :) sdb1 is not the drive.
[17:19] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  you want to keep sdb3  correct?
[17:19] <bobgill> Dr_willis: yes definitely want to keep sdb3
[17:20] <Iggz> HI, is there anyway to change the short cut keys in desktop cubes? Ie away from alt/ctrl?

[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> ApacheBBQ: lame is the encoder
[17:21] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: you have to be registered to do that
[17:21] <ApacheBBQ> erUSUL, Having trouble locating it.
[17:21] <ArsHermetica> ah, understood
[17:21] <erUSUL> ApacheBBQ: once you are at it install all the other gstreamer plugins
[17:21] <aladdinsane> Is there a way to mount a drive so it turns up like a normal drive in nautilus/thunar, right now i have it mounted like this (fstab): /dev/sdc1    /home/alado/!HDD2        ext3    rw  0      0by which the drive of course mounts as a folder under alado. It would be nicer to have it in the left pane as a drive rather than, as i said, as a folder.
[17:21] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  if you  manually delete 1 and 2. and carefully make a new partition with the start end of 1  5099   - it should make a new single partition.
[17:21] <ArsHermetica> ok, opened terminal, how do I enter that command?
[17:21] <Iggz> Bazhang: Thanks :)
[17:21] <erUSUL> ApacheBBQ: probably you need to enable the multiverse repo
[17:21] <ApacheBBQ> erUSUL, How is that done..I am very new to this.
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> aladdinsane: switching to uuid can slove a lot of those issues
[17:21] <gnufied> hi trying to apt-get install amarok, but its trying to install ruby, which i don't want since i already have custom compiled ruby on my machine.. is there any way to avoid this?
[17:22] <erUSUL> ApacheBBQ: go to System>Admin>Software Sources and check all the repos from the first tab
[17:22] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: just type lspci and tell what the last line or so says (better not paste it in the channel though)
[17:22] <ArsHermetica> ok
[17:22] <bobgill> Dr_willis: ok, I did sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1
[17:22] <erUSUL> ApacheBBQ: also read the link ubotu told you
[17:22] <bazhang> Iggz: no worries :}
[17:22] <gidna> hi
[17:22] <bazhang> hi gidna
[17:22] <ArsHermetica> not found
[17:22] <ArsHermetica> oops, bazhang: not found
[17:22] <gidna> what I do if write ls << ciao on a console?
[17:23] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  hit 'h' to read the fdisk help. :)
[17:23] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  note that NO changesd are made untill you actually 'w' write the changes to disk. SO if you mess up. just exit. dont write
[17:23] <erUSUL> gidna: nothing usefull
[17:23] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: you opened the terminal and typed in lspci?
[17:23] <bobgill> Dr_willis: ok I hit "d" but it keeps saying "no partition is defined yet"
[17:23] <gidna> I want to know..
[17:23] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: yes
[17:24] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: sorry I typed 1 not l
[17:24] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  use 'p' to print the layout
[17:24] <bobgill> ok
[17:24] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  ALSO - i recall on some systems you can delete partitions/chagne the disks.. but then the kernel dosent see the changes till you reboot.. some sort of bug/quirk.
[17:24] <erUSUL> gidna: i have tried the shell thinks it is an unfinished command becouse it is bogus
[17:24] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  that may be your issue.
[17:24] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: it shows ALOT of stuff, what should I tell you?
[17:25] <bobgill> well I can't seem to delete it
[17:25] <WorkingOnWise> before I chase my tail too far into the woods, I have a question. Why couldn't I set up a VPN across the internet between my Ubuntu laptop and the Windows XP pc's I need to support, and and then simply use rdp for remote control. All the connection points have at least 512k dsl or cable connections.
[17:25] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  so i would say.. reboot and try it again.
[17:25] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: the last line or two--maybe realtek, ralink, intel, something along those lines (but don't paste in channel)
[17:25] <erUSUL> gidna: ls >> ciao on the other hand will create a file ciao with th output of ls in it (overwritting ciao if it alrady exists)
[17:25] <aladdinsane> Jack_Sparrow: so it is an issue? i just thought i set it up wrong? So what would be a possible solution then?
[17:25] <bobgill> Dr_willis: but I haven't done anything yet.. there are no changes for it to see ?
[17:25] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: ok, where should I tell you?
[17:26] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  the earlier changes from cfdisk may be needing a reboot to see the changes.
[17:26] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: ralink? realtek? what card for wireless
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !uuid
[17:26] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[17:26] <gidna> no..
[17:26] <bobgill> Dr_willis: right but I didn't make any changes in cfdisk, I couldn't get it to go
[17:26] <gidna> I don't see this effect
[17:26] <ArsHermetica> Ricoh
[17:26] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  ive seen this issue befor - had to reboot some of my systems during the isntall for the partitions to get seen.   If thats not the case here.. im at a loss as to what to do.
[17:27] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: ricoh wireless card? is there a number associated with it?
[17:27] <ArsHermetica> R5C843
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang: I thought for sure that laptop had a broadcom  57 something
[17:28] <ArsHermetica> Or am I looking for network controller?
[17:28] <ApacheBBQ> erUSUL, I get an error. Dependacy is not satisfiable.
[17:28] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  if fdisk cant delete the partitions.. well  - thats scary. :(
[17:28] <Dr_willis> bbl
[17:28] <bazhang> Jack_Sparrow: I think you are right
[17:28] <bobgill> Dr_willis: ok I will reboot in a minute and be back.. then we will see, thanks for the help
[17:28] <Dr_willis> good luck
[17:28] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: is there a listing for broadcomm as well?
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> bobgill: you might want to try gparted live to rework tose partitions
[17:29] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: the last few lines have Network controller, ethernetcontroller, generic sys periph, and sys periph
[17:29] <ArsHermetica> broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> yea
[17:29] <ArsHermetica> I apologize if i'm being a hassle

[17:40] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: yes, it does, and if this is the solution to my problems then I apologize. lol

[17:41] <bazhang> ubuntu-restricted-extras ArsHermetica
[17:42] <DaSkreech> Wonderful
[17:42] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: ok, one moment
[17:42] <DaSkreech> thank you mypapit
[17:42] <sjovan> DaSkreech: finch is pigden just textbased, if that is what you are asking for.
[17:42] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:42] <erUSUL> sjovan: why use telnet is so 80's ;P seriusly you should be using ssh
[17:42] <wib> hi there, can vlc deactivate the screensaver automatically? (gutsy)
[17:42] <DaSkreech> sjovan: precisely waht I want
[17:42] <erUSUL> !ssh | sjovan
[17:42] <ubotu> sjovan: 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/
[17:42] <mypapit> DaSkreech, np.. though i personally prefer centerim to finch
[17:42] <DaSkreech> mypapit: Why?
[17:42] <pike_> wib: mplayer can i dont know about vlc
[17:43] <sjovan> erUSUL: the problem is i need to open some ports on my router. i'm useing ssh, but i have to telnet my router
[17:43] <mypapit> DaSkreech, centerim is more inuitive, easier to use in console than finch.. i think the reason is, finch tries too hard emulate pidgin in console
[17:43] <sjovan> the problem is that after a lot of ideling on my reouter menu in telnet sudently it stopped working and i can't connect any more
[17:43] <mypapit> DaSkreech, well that's only my personal opinion, you can decide it yourself ;)
[17:44] <sjovan> and now i know how to fix the problem
[17:44] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang:    http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/
[17:44] <DaSkreech> mypapit: I'll take that into consideration and try centerim first then :)
[17:44] <LimCore> the default ubuntu kernel seems to provide only one loop /dev/loop0 ?  how to spawn more loops?
[17:44] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: installing those will also save some steps later--when you want to listen to mp3s, play flash (youtube) etc; there are two more packages to install for dvd playback, and then you will be good to go

[18:13] <ArsHermetica> ok
[18:13] <bsdunix> kom0dor: yes. you have some other sound management app setting it to that lower level.
[18:14] <kom0dor> hrm, thanks.
[18:14] <ArsHermetica> bazhang, it's unclickable
[18:14] <kom0dor> Any common culprit?
[18:14] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: synaptic package manager?
[18:14] <bsdunix> bazhang: damn. i was hoping i could get someone to flood the channel with a glorious cowsay
[18:14] <TBotNik_u> bsdunix: Yes we run on same MB with GenToo and RedHat, so should work, if config is right.
[18:15] <bazhang> bsdunix: dont know what that is, but heh
[18:15] <dis4ever> I have def. installed ubuntu now and i am glad i have done it.  put ms on the shelves forever
[18:15] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: yes it's shaded and unclickable
[18:15] <TBotNik_u> bsdunix: Documenting error output from the commands in the "Debugging" guide.
[18:15] <bsdunix> bazhang: it is time you found out. also see jive
[18:15] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: in settings only preferences, filters, internal options and toolbar are clickable
[18:16] <dis4ever> i also installed the debian menu : menu-xdg, but i can't find it anywhere
[18:16] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: did you need to enter your password when you opened it?
[18:16] <ArsHermetica> bazhang, no it did not prompt for a password
[18:16]  * ArsHermetica chuckles "It's always the tiny overlooked details that I miss"
[18:16] <bsdunix> TBotNik_u: okay. good to see you back
[18:16] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: okay, now quit synaptic and find it in the gnome menu
[18:16] <dis4ever> isn't it supposed to be in the app menu
[18:16] <sjovan> okay... what is the deal here? http://pastebin.com/d538a5412 <---trying to connect to my router. i'm remote on ssh
[18:16] <bsdunix> TBotNik_u: now. the basics first

[18:19] <bro_man> ubotu: what is a swap partition?
[18:19] <dis4ever> when using live cd i had sound now after ubuntu installation i have no more sound

[18:19] <ajmal> any body told me that how to install ttf font in the ubuntu 7.10
[18:19] <odracir34> ik heb een update gedaan naar 7.10maar nu geef ubuntu met bepaalde pogammas filsystem out of spaxe, weet iemand wat dat betekend, ik dacht eert dat ik te weinig ruimte had op mijn hd maar er is nog 75 gig vrij
[18:19] <bsdunix> TBotNik_u: BIOS settings; on-board sound disabled, plug and play OS = no. then try to cat file-foo >/dev/dsp. you should hear the file in your speakers
[18:19] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: SUCCESS!!!
[18:19] <knapkin> hey
[18:20] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: sweet!
[18:20] <knapkin> imlooking for some help on a flash plugin install
[18:20] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: in repositories, now what shall I do?
[18:20] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: now enable all the repositories and then fetch updates
[18:20] <bsdunix> TBotNik_u: or cat file-foo >/dev/snd
[18:21] <TBotNik_u> bsdunix: Reboot and go "SETUP" for BIOS at reboot re-init screen?
[18:21] <bsdunix> yes
[18:21] <TBotNik_u> OK will be back shortly, rebooting!!
[18:21] <ajmal> anybody told me that how to install true type font in the ubuntu7.10
[18:22] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: ok, all checked. now click revert?
[18:22] <ajmal> plz help me????????????????
[18:22] <in-pinko> Plja
[18:22] <bsdunix> TBotNik_u: the reason? maybe this kernel was cornfused by your on-board + pci snd card
[18:22] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: is there an option to reload
[18:22] <earlmacuha_> nid help
[18:22] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: lemme check
[18:22] <odracir34> join #ubuntu.nl
[18:22] <inzeo> ajmal: a font that you downloaded from a website?
[18:22] <earlmacuha_> my upgrade wont continue
[18:22] <ajmal> yes dear inzeo
[18:23] <earlmacuha_> it always fails to retrieve something
[18:23] <bsdunix> TBotNik_u: also, turning off plug and play OS will make your kernel ask the computer to tell it all about itself
[18:23] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: yes there is!
[18:23] <gulch> what package do i install so that gcc works ?
[18:23] <in-pinko> Anybody reply me: what is the canal about?
[18:23] <inzeo> ajmal: true type fonts are located at /usr/share/fonts/truetype
[18:23] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: clicky!
[18:23] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: it loaded some but couldn't others due to the lack of net connection!
[18:23] <inzeo> ajmal: just do: sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-newfont, then sudo cp newfont.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-newfont/
[18:23]  * ArsHermetica does a dance. "I did something right!"
[18:24] <inzeo> ajmal: that should make it appear in your fonts list then
[18:24] <ajmal> how can i install it just paste in /usr/share/fonts/trutype
[18:24] <pike_> ajmal: then update font cache
[18:24] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: anyway to connect ethernet to that laptop?
[18:24] <pike_> ajmal: fc-cache command
[18:24] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: lemme see if I have a spare ether cable
[18:25] <ajmal> thank you inzeo
[18:25] <inzeo> ajmal: no problem, good luck
[18:25] <bsdunix> TBotNik_u: using a pci soundcard is a very good idea. play an mp3 in a fat player and check system resource load. try same with mp3blaster, try with and without pci sndcard

[18:28] <wazeem> it didnt show the details
[18:28] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: ah. well to fetch more packages--you'll need another cable at some point
[18:29]  * ArsHermetica nods

[18:29] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: so you can come back later, or just note down what you need to do now--your choice
[18:29] <gulch> bazhang: seems to select good packages but now it sais i need the install cd. Any way i can bypass that ?
[18:30] <wazeem> erUSUL you there...

[18:30] <nono> buenas, alguien me puede decir como instalar el winrar, es que las guias que encuentro son para gente mas avanzada
[18:30] <bazhang> gulch: just disable the install cd in the repositories

[18:30] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: sure enough
[18:30] <gulch> nice, thanks for all your help. In return Ubuntu will have more apps!
[18:30] <el> I have installed the touchpad in system settings, but when I change the speed of my touchpad, there is no change at all, does any one else have that problem, or a solution?? Cheers
[18:31] <insllvn> can evolution work with exchange?
[18:31] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: sounds good to me, i'll do that then. Thank you for your helkp and hopefully i'll see you shortly
[18:31] <Dr_willis> diffr,  ubotu  is a bot. that spits out factoids and other Common answers.
[18:31] <el> insllvn, yes
[18:31] <TBotNik_u> bsdunix: No luck.  All sound attempt give errors.  the "cat file-foo >/dev/dsp" cmd errors with "cat file-foo >/dev/dsp"
[18:31] <Dr_willis> !samba | diffr
[18:31] <diffr> haha
[18:31] <ubotu> diffr: 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
[18:31] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: well be waiting :}
 , ups sorry
[18:31]  * ArsHermetica salutes
[18:31] <diffr> tnx
[18:31] <insllvn> thanks el
[18:31] <Dr_willis> diffr,  to really learn samba  - install the samba-doc package and read the 'using samba' book it includes. :)  in /usr/share/docs/ I think.
[18:32] <bsdunix> TBotNik_u: oh. i'm sorry. i thought you would understand the meaning of file-foo
[18:32] <diffr> :/
[18:32] <el> insllvn, np.. just point it to the OWA path
[18:32] <TBotNik_u> bsdunix: Did you copy?
[18:32] <bsdunix> TBotNik_u: pick a large text file
[18:32] <diffr> yesterday i selected smb i pressed "install srvices" and it was done! what is going on with the newer verstion ?!
[18:32] <TBotNik_u> bsdunix: Any large file?
[18:32] <Dr_willis> diffr,  you need to configure samba for it to do anything usefull.
[18:33] <bsdunix> yes
[18:33] <ajmal> i have alkatib(2).ttf font which is in the my sad5 drive tell me copy command
[18:33] <gulch> bazhang: one more thing, where do i edit out the cdrom ? I looked in sources.list but couldnt find any reference to a cd
[18:33] <bsdunix> now in console, type cat /path/to/file >/dev/snd (or may be /dev/dsp
[18:34] <inzeo> ajmal: sudo cp /path/to/alkatib(2).ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-newfont
[18:34] <rambo3> bsdunix, just use a speakertest
[18:34] <Dr_willis> gulch,  normally its the first entry/line in the sources.list - after changing the sources.list be sure to do a sudo apt-get update
[18:34] <bazhang> gulch: well I can tell you how to do it in synaptic...
[18:34] <diffr> Dr_willis actually yesterday i did what I wanted... i get the message now " package samba is not available, but is referred to by anotehr package.  this may mean ........ However the folloing packages replace it: smbclient samba-common" so what do I need to do? :/
[18:34] <Dr_willis> diffr,  i would do a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then install samba with 'sudo apt-get install samba'
[18:34] <bsdunix> rambo3: yes, i'm trying to help TBotNik_u diagnose his sound problem
[18:35] <dis4ever> how can i configure sound please
[18:35] <dis4ever> in live version i had sound
[18:35] <Dr_willis> diffr,  and sudo apt-get install samba-doc  - THEN read  /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/index.html
[18:35] <gulch> bazhang, Dr_willis: ill try synaptic first since its not in sources.list from what i can see
[18:35] <TBotNik_u> bsdunix: Use 17.4KB file "cat /home/nyled/myfiles/m_yellow_comp_cosultants.txt >/dev/dsp" and nothing
[18:35] <rambo3> bsdunix, ok for that matter you could sudo cut /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[18:35] <dis4ever> now after definitive install sound is gone
[18:35] <Dr_willis> gulch,  synaptic uses the same file :) if its not in one it shouldent be in the other.
[18:35] <UnAvaible> Hello! Is there a way to tell my window-manager that I want that new windows have a x:y pixels size at start?
[18:35] <diffr> Dr_willis i still get the same msg :/
[18:36] <TBotNik_u> All, have teleconf, be gone for a while.
[18:36] <diffr> plus "E: Package samba has no installation candidate"
[18:36] <gulch> Dr_willis, i know but i better check it
[18:36] <Dr_willis> !find samba
[18:36] <bazhang> aren't there two sources lists?
[18:36] <ubotu> Found: dpsyco-samba, egroupware-sambaadmin, gsambad, system-config-samba, xffm4-samba (and 6 others)
[18:36] <bsdunix> TBotNik_u: okay. seems you aint even got kernel level sound working yet. go back to basics of getting at least that
[18:36] <Dr_willis> !info samba
[18:36] <ubotu> samba: a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.2 (gutsy), package size 3750 kB, installed size 9212 kB
[18:37] <Dr_willis> diffr,  its in main, so if you cant 'sudo apt-get install samba' you may of broke somthing some how..  or the servers are having issues..
[18:37] <bsdunix> rambo3: neat tip
[18:37] <Dr_willis> diffr,  you did the update,upgrade, then tried to reinstall it?
[18:37] <diffr> exactly
[18:38] <tijn> Good evening all
[18:38] <bsdunix> rambo3: now we get into fields and columns of cut...
[18:38] <bazhang> hi tijn
[18:38] <Dr_willis> diffr,  you may want to try remaking your sources.list file at the easysource site.

[18:40] <alcarraz> this is my first time here
[18:40] <gulch> Dr_willis, im using native language and i almost missed it "storage" <-> "förråd"
[18:40] <gulch> "Sources" would be much better
[18:40] <diffr> maybe i should try reinstalling it ?
[18:40] <pike_> terminus is an awful console font
[18:40] <in-pinko> Take me any canal. Plz.
[18:41] <ajmal> cp: missing destination file operand after `/media/sda5/software/fonts/Alkatib.ttf/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-newfont'
[18:41] <ajmal> Try `cp --help' for more information.

[18:41] <tijn> ajmal, you are missing a space
[18:41] <bsdunix> TBotNik_u: got a idea. problems are usually something simple unless we make efforts to comlicate them. look into your installed sound device management apps
[18:41] <bazhang> hi WolfSoul
[18:41] <ajmal>  sudo cp /media/sda5/software/fonts/to/Alkatib.ttf/to/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-newfont
[18:41] <ajmal> is this correct command
[18:42] <tijn> no you are missing a space!
[18:42] <WolfSoul> anyone got some hints on how to get a existing ubuntu instalation moved from one computer to another ?
[18:42] <atlef> !clone
[18:42] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[18:42] <bazhang> WolfSoul: you mean a clone?
[18:42] <bsdunix> WolfSoul: yes. easy! cp * of the ubuntu drive >other drive
[18:43] <bsdunix> WolfSoul: yes. easy! cp -R *
[18:43] <eses> with Ubuntu, my computer has bee on for 3 days running, and not problems, bye bye windows XP no blue screen
[18:43] <WolfSoul> bazhang: not exactly, if possible i want to move the system as is from one hdd to another one in a different box
[18:43] <gulch> Dr_willis, the computer i use now has a zircom pcmcia card that halts the computer if its not docked. It halts at "piix_smbus". If i dock it the dock card doesnt work but the pcmcia card does. I can halt the kernel with the card so that gnome also freezes. Must be a kernel bug right ?
[18:44] <Iggz> Hi, in the help documentation for ubuntu - latest build - it states other desk-top enviros are available and mentions kubuntu-desktop. Can anyone tell me the benefits of using this over the packaged desk-top?
[18:44] <bazhang> WolfSoul: well there are about three options upthread :}
[18:44] <Alp-> hello
[18:44] <WolfSoul> bsdunix: sure, as soon as i can do this in windows, as that's the only OS that the new bos has currently :/
[18:44] <ajmal>  sudo cp /media/sda5/software/fonts/to/Alkatib.ttf/to/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-newfont
[18:44] <ajmal> in this command where space
[18:44] <bsdunix> WolfSoul: sorry, forgot recursive. setup basic networking, have remote drive set up as remote storage partition for copy
[18:44] <bazhang> Iggz: kde instead of gnome--differing opinions on which is better
[18:44] <godzirra> Howdy folks.  How do I get copiz to start up when I turn on my laptop, as opposed to having to run compiz --replace when I log in?
[18:45] <Alp-> i need help with networking and samba. i have installed samba and it worked for a while. but for a reason i dont know i cant access the windows shared network anymore. any help? where can i begin?
[18:45] <pike_> Iggz: youll start a DE war.. basically just try em the big ones are gnome kde and xfce4 desktop envonrons   xfce4 following is considerably smaller than both gnome and kde ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop
[18:45] <gulch> godzirra, look in the menus i think
[18:45] <in-pinko> Please, HELP ME. Call me a few english or american canals.

[18:46] <Iggz> bazhang. I see - I'll shut up ;-)  Any sites the two are compared?
[18:46] <gulch> godzirra, "desktop effects" or something
[18:46] <bsdunix> WolfSoul: then make the cp partition a fat32, have a working samba or other network awareness one way or the other and it should be easy. then, build and edit boot sector or grub
[18:46] <Dr_willis> gulch,  sounds like it to me..
[18:46] <Iggz> Bazhang/pike that is
[18:46] <bazhang> Iggz: only about a million :}
[18:46] <Iggz> LOL
[18:46] <tijn> hey, if i plug in headphones in my laptop, it doenst disable the speakers, is this some hardware issue or software?
[18:46] <Alp-> lggz: lots of, just google :) i prefer gnome, but kde is good too
  sudo cp /media/sda5/software/fonts/to/Alkatib.ttf                   /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-newfont
[18:46] <bazhang> Iggz: kde!
[18:47] <Alp-> and kde 4 is about to launch soon
[18:47] <IpMoo> tijn:  usualy they cut out
[18:47] <bsdunix> tijn: certainly hardware
[18:47] <Dr_willis> ajmal,  NOTE the spaces between the FROM and To Locations
[18:47] <godzirra> gulch: thanks, I'm looking.
[18:47] <tijn> IpMoo, cut out?
[18:47] <IpMoo> if someone used the wrong jack inproduction.....
[18:47] <tijn> aww
[18:47] <Dr_willis> ajmal,  I have no idea where ya got the 'to' from :)
[18:47] <twiztr> Is there a way to password protect a single folder, so if someone gets onto my account, they cannot access a directory tree without the password?
[18:48] <tijn> thats no good :(
[18:48] <bsdunix> tijn: insertion of the headphone plug should open the path for nowmal speaker operation, yours aren't doing that
[18:48] <bazhang> twiztr: truecrypt
[18:48] <Dr_willis> twiztr,  may want to check out the various 'fuse' tools.  They have a way of doing that i belive also.
[18:48] <sjovan> twiztr: and how are they going to acces your account?

[18:48] <pike_> twiztr: you can encrypt it or something but if they have your password you have bigger worries
[18:48] <Iggz> Its odd actually, the help doc says kubuntu-desktop is availble via the packet manager but its not there. Mind you the help file seems a little oudated

[18:49] <EchoBinary>  i have samba shares set up on an OpenSolaris box - one server, several aliases, with different shares set up for each alias with an include file names after %L.

[19:01] <Odd-rationale> bazhang: Sounds good. I'll wait for tomorrow.

[19:03] <bsdunix> wkrally: okay, you're CLI... on a side note... ever think of trying irssi?
[19:03] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: did you start up with the ethernet cable attached?
[19:03] <wkrally> bsdunix what is irssi? and irc client?
[19:04] <bsdunix> wkrally: yes. kicks butt
[19:04] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: yessir. waited bout 5 minutes, no dice. So tried restarting again. Still nothing
[19:04] <bazhang> hehe
[19:04] <velja> is there some tehnique to comunicate with 72.32.182.138 ?

[19:04] <wkrally> bsdunix is there a way to reinstall gnome through cli?
[19:04] <bsdunix> wkrally: what does ctl-alt-f7 do for you?
[19:04] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: with the connection attached, open up a terminal and type sudo ifconfig
[19:04] <bsdunix> wkrally: yes
[19:04] <chazco> Hi... anyone able to help with: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608760 ?
[19:04] <wkrally> bsdunix that is the gui
[19:05] <bsdunix> wkrally: right
[19:05] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: err just ifconfig
[19:05] <bsdunix> wkrally: is your gui hung?
[19:05] <solid_liq> how do I use Emerald for themes?
[19:05] <wkrally> bsdunix if i do a ctrl+backspace reboot i can log in but it sort of hung after logging in
[19:05] <ArsHermetica> ok, one moment, i'll try again
[19:05] <solid_liq> I have Emerald installed, but I don't seem to be able to select a theme to have it be used
[19:05] <wkrally> bsdunix still can move my mouse but nothing else
[19:05] <beena> I have eth1 instead of wlan0. Is that normal?
[19:05] <bsdunix> wkrally: do init 3
[19:06] <white_eagle> is there a "wine" channel?
[19:06] <zarac> should i get the "64bit AMD and Intel computers" if you have a core2duo?
[19:06] <zarac> =D
[19:06] <Creed> Is there a way to tunnel ports from my Ubuntu server (using SSHv2)? Like I want to forward port 6112 on the server to a remote client (theres nothing running on port 6112, I want to be able to connect to server:6112 and have it tunnel the port over SSH to the remote maschine).
[19:06] <bazhang> beena: should be ok
[19:06] <bsdunix> wkrally: that will kill GUI
[19:06] <zarac> it confuses me..
[19:06] <beena> I don't know why my wireless network isn't showing up
[19:06] <beena> :(
[19:06] <zarac> ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[19:06] <phantomcircuit> this is just silly
[19:06] <wkrally> bsdunix ok done it
[19:06] <bazhang> zarac: no real benefit at this point
[19:06] <white_eagle> is there a "wine" channel?
[19:06] <zarac> ok :)
[19:06] <bsdunix> wkrally: top
[19:06] <Jack_Sparrow> try #winehq
[19:07] <Creed> white_eagle, #wine-hq
[19:07] <zarac> well.. i'm burning it on a cd-r =7 already ..
[19:07] <white_eagle> ok
[19:07] <white_eagle> thanks
[19:07] <Creed> err without the -
[19:07] <zarac> so guess i'll try it
[19:07] <solid_liq> Creed, yes, you can use ssh to create a socks proxy, or google for forwarding ports over ssh
[19:07] <zarac> what's the loss though bazhang ? =D
[19:07] <robdig> phantomcircuit: what is silly?
[19:07] <bazhang> beena: what does ifconfig say in the terminal--don't paste in the channel
[19:07] <bazhang> zarac: no real difference--just more headaches trying to get 64 bit flash working
[19:07] <beena> bazhang: It shows an eth0 and eth1
[19:07] <wkrally> bsdunix when i go to f7 it gives a brown screen now, and in tty2 the command line isn't returning
[19:08] <zarac> oh =D
[19:08] <phantomcircuit> robdig, I cant get flash player to install because the md5 doesnt match
[19:08] <bazhang> beena: are you using it now?
[19:08] <Creed> solid_liq, Ive got the socks portion and forwarding services running on the server to the remote client, what Im trying to do is forward ports on the client to the server. I want to do Warcraft3 LAN games (port 6112) by using a SSH tunnel (campus has a proxy).
[19:08] <robdig> phantomcircuit: is this the one from the repos?
[19:08] <phantomcircuit> i assume it's just that the md5 that synaptic is using is outdated
[19:08] <beena> bazhang: I'm using eth0 now. My wireless network is not showing up
[19:08] <phantomcircuit> flashplayer-nonfree from the repository
[19:08] <bsdunix> wkrally: init 5, then hop back to your ttys3 top screen and watch it for suspicious stuff, run ps aux | grep *name* on the suspect processes, consider a kill -9 on them
[19:08] <bazhang> beena: I'm guessing that eth1 is your wireless network
[19:09] <phantomcircuit> us.archive.ubuntu.com/multiverse flashplayer-nonfree
[19:09] <robdig> phantomcircuit: agree, might be out of sync. do sudo apt-get update       and then give try installing again
[19:09] <beena> bazhang: I guess, but my wireless network is not showing up, so I can't connect to it.
[19:09] <wkrally> bsdunix need to type it in a new tty? bcuz i can't use 2 now
[19:09] <phantomcircuit> robdig, did didn't do anything
[19:09] <bazhang> beena: try sudo iwlist eth1 scan
[19:09] <bazhang> or is that scanning?
[19:09] <bsdunix> wkrally: hrmm. sounds like your using a messed up frame buffer or using nvidia driver or some such
[19:10] <beena> bazhang: It says no scan results
[19:10] <wkrally> bsdunix nvidia jep
[19:10] <bazhang> beena: how about iwconfig
[19:10] <wkrally> bsdunix standard installed was at the restricted hardware just enabled it
[19:11] <beena> bazhang: It shows up there, but I think that's because I manually tried to connect to it. For access point, it says invalid bit rate 1Mb/s
[19:11] <robdig> phantomcircuit: guess you could try changing to another server...system->administration->software sources, select another server in download from...maybe that will work...
[19:12] <Karcamo[x]> HI !
[19:12] <bazhang> beena: this is gutsy? did it ever work?
[19:12] <wkrally> bsdunix init 5 insn't giving errors, shows all as done
[19:12] <bsdunix> wkrally: okay. try this. reboot. insert kernel argument at chainloader startup: init 3. manually call init 5 and jump to tty2, run top, in tty3 run ps aux | grep suspect proc, kill the proc, see if you can narrow down the troublemaker safely that way
[19:12] <beena> bazhang: Yes it's gutsy. I just installed it today. I never got the wireless to work.
[19:12] <bazhang> beena: have you installed the restricted drivers?
[19:13] <beena> bazhang: yes
[19:13] <DARKGuy> Hey, how do I extract a .deb file into a specific location?
[19:13] <bazhang> beena: and the restricted drivers manager?
[19:13] <beena> bazhang: Yes
[19:13] <wkrally> bsdunix, can u give that in steps, don't really understand all, i'm just new to it
[19:13] <bazhang> beena: the card does not show up there?
[19:14] <beena> bazhang: Yes it shows up there, and says it's enabled. But my wireless network doesn't show up.
[19:14] <bsdunix> wkrally: okay. steps won't work
[19:14] <bsdunix> wkrally: can you run top?
[19:14] <bazhang> beena: what is the card name and model?
[19:14] <beena> bazhang:  Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI
[19:15] <recon> Is there a way to disable tooltips in AWN?
[19:15] <bazhang> beena: ok. there is a bug in gutsy with that card not being close enough to the ap
[19:15] <beena> bazhang: I'm sitting right next to it
[19:15] <wkrally> nope, can't get into tty4,5,6 can't type login name and tty 2 are using init
[19:15] <beena> bazhang: Maybe I should use ndiswrapper, then?
[19:15] <tuubun> how do i switch between keyboard layouts?
[19:16] <bsdunix> wkrally: you DO have the ability to hop from tty3,4,5, etc, don't you?
[19:16] <bazhang> beena: perhaps--is it an open network, or wep, wpa, etc?
[19:16] <beena> bazhang: Yes, open.
[19:16] <wkrally> bsdunix yes but can't type there
[19:16] <robdig> tuubun: system->preferences->keyboard
[19:16] <wkrally> bsdunix tty 2,3 are using init and 4,5,6 aren't able to login
[19:16] <bsdunix> wkrally: reboot so you can get that ability back
[19:16] <DARKGuy> Hey, how do I extract a .deb file into a specific location?
[19:16] <bazhang> beena: some have reported success using ndiswrapper with that card--can't tell you from my own experience, just reading the forums
[19:16] <wkrally> bsdunix
[19:17] <wkrally> bsdunix ok back in a mom then
[19:17] <Lafitte-> how do i enable opengl?
[19:17] <superman_> cms2337
[19:17] <phantomcircuit> robdig, nope that didnt work either
[19:17] <tuubun> robdig: i was speaking about that alt-shift stuff
[19:17] <beena> bazhang: If I need to use ndiswrapper, I'll need to remove the restricted driver, right? How do I do that? apt-get?
[19:17] <tuubun> barely managed to enable English :|
[19:17] <nickrud> DARKGuy: dpkg -x <deb> <dir>
[19:18] <bazhang> beena: there is a great thread about that at ubuntuforums
[19:18] <robdig> phantomcircuit: hmm, i'll look around for a moment
[19:18] <hairulfr> Anyone know why grub install would fail?
[19:18] <robdig> tuubun: what alt-shift stuff?
[19:18] <Lafitte-> looking for opengl help
[19:18] <beena> bazhang: Can you give me the link you're looking at?
[19:18] <bazhang> beena: just disabling it may do the trick though I'm not sure on that score
[19:18] <beena> Okay
[19:18] <lonecrow> I did a fresh install of gutsy server with lamp and posgresql,  when I booted up first error I get is the apache2 server saying it can't load because it doesn't know my fqdn ... what do I need to edit into my hosts?  I dont have a static IP, and my computer name is gabriel
[19:18] <Lafitte-> robdig, did you SU ?
[19:18] <DARKGuy> nickrud: thanks a lot :D
[19:18] <nickrud> beena: I'm using that one with ndiswrapper, the basic ndiswrapper stuff worked fine
[19:18] <nickrud> !ndiswrapper
[19:19] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[19:19] <tuubun> robdig: i asked if there was a shortcut for switching between layouts
[19:19] <wkrally> bsdunix ok back
[19:19] <bazhang> beena: nickrud sounds like the go to guy here :}
[19:19] <hairulfr> Let me ask in another way: Since I can't get grub to install on my c drive, can I just set it to install on the drive i use for / ? I remember hearing something, but don't know if i t was a do or don't...?
[19:19] <bsdunix> wkrally: okay...we're gonnan try using something other than that nvidia driver
[19:19] <wkrally> bsdunix, so what is the first thing i need to do now?
[19:19] <robdig> tuubun: dunno
[19:19] <Lafitte-> my opengl is not working. Anyone have a read for that ?
[19:20] <nickrud> beena: no, I blindly followed those directions; I just wanted you to know they work :)
[19:20] <bsdunix> we need to edit your /etc/xorg.conf file.
[19:20] <tuubun> does anyone know how one can switch between keyboard layouts? (different languages, etc)
[19:20] <robdig> phantomcircuit: are you on 64 bit?
[19:20] <phantomcircuit> no 32
[19:20] <cronos> hloa
[19:20] <cronos> hola
[19:20] <bsdunix> you should try using the safest, most basic driver... i forget the name...
[19:21] <nickrud> tuubun: iirc you can add keyboard indicator to the panel, and use it to switch

[19:21] <wkrally> bsdunix, can it be that it is the x11 file?
[19:22] <wkrally> bsdunix and ur meaning vesa?
[19:22] <bsdunix> wkrally: vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:22] <bsdunix> wkrally: yes

[19:22] <wkrally> bsdunix ok that file works
[19:22] <robdig> phantomcircuit: ok. found a couple of bugs, first one was 64, second was 32. take a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/173890, it looks like it may have a test version of fix if you want to play with it...
[19:22] <bsdunix> wkrally: you got it, buddy! BINGO! prize goes to wkrally !!
[19:23] <wkrally> bsdunix so now i need to adjust the name nvidia to vesa
[19:23] <bsdunix> wkrally: perfect. you da man
[19:23] <wazeem> can someone help me with my wireless card - after using ndiswrapper it functioned properly but after restart it has stopped working completly
[19:23] <wkrally> bsdunix but what 1 do i need to take? the one at driver or?
[19:24] <nickrud> wazeem: sudo nano /etc/modules , add the word ndiswrapper there on it's own line so it will be loaded on reboot
[19:24] <bsdunix> wkrally: I'm looking at mine...
[19:24] <tuubun> does ANYONE ON EARTH know if switching between languages is ever possible in ubuntu?
[19:24] <bsdunix> wkrally: you handy with vi?
[19:24] <nickrud> wazeem: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper should bring your wireless up now
[19:24] <bazhang> tuubun: sure
[19:24] <wazeem> nickrud thanks i will try that. I gotta load between XP and ubuntu so ill be a while
[19:24] <wazeem> k brb
[19:25] <wkrally> bsdunix nope, using editor
[19:25] <wkrally> bsdunix should i open it with vi?
[19:25] <bsdunix> wkrally: not a problem
[19:25] <bsdunix> wkrally: here's mine: Section "Device" Identifier     "Videocard0" Driver         "nvidia"
[19:25] <Lafitte-> how do you force a file form apt to overwrite and reinstall ?
[19:25] <phantomcircuit> robdig, sweet thanks a lot!
[19:25] <kamalgill> how do i reinstall ubuntu gutsy without wiping out my user folder?
[19:26] <bazhang> tuubun: http://ubuntuguide.org/
[19:26] <robdig> phantomcircuit: np, have a good one
[19:26] <tomd123> kamalgill: back up
[19:26] <bsdunix> wkrally: change "nvidia" to "vesa"
[19:26] <RichiH> i need a link to a package mirror
[19:26] <tomd123> kamalgill: unless your users directory is on a different partiiton
[19:26] <wkrally> bsdunix ok did that
[19:26] <nickrud> !mirror
[19:26] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low!
[19:26] <pike_> kamalgill: id suggest since you are reinstalling makine home a seperate partition this time
[19:26] <kamalgill> ok, thx
[19:26] <bsdunix> wkrally: now init 3, then init 5... it should work fine
[19:27] <tomd123> kamalgill: back up your users directory, or the important files
[19:27] <Outie> evening
[19:27] <bsdunix> wait... i think ubuntu, using deb run-levels...ummm is that same as posix?
[19:28] <wkrally> posix?
[19:28] <bazhang> unix
[19:28] <Outie> so I'm trying to decide whether or not I should switch to Gutsy 64bit
[19:28] <phantomcircuit> exit
[19:28] <phantomcircuit> er oopsies
[19:28] <tomd123> outie: don't
[19:28] <Outie> are there any major caveats with that?
[19:28] <riotkittie> Outie: why are you considering a switch to 64bit?
[19:29] <bsdunix> wkrally: yes, i was questioning myself here about init 3 and init 5. runlevels with deb GNU-compliance, vs my knowlege of POSIX runlevel behaviors
[19:29] <nickrud> Outie: I've been told the biggie is java plugin in the browser
[19:29] <Outie> because it has MOAR BITZ (just generally really)
[19:29] <lonecrow> anyone anyone?  once you install server what should you set your hosts to? or apache2 is there a line I need to add to get it to recognize the fully qualified domain name?
[19:29] <Outie> running a Core2Duo
[19:29] <riotkittie> D:
[19:29] <wkrally> bsdunix i can get ubuntu working when i use failsafe gnome
[19:29] <bsdunix> wkrally: i am hoping that calling init 3 will kill GUI.
[19:29] <Outie> nickrud: when I tried Feisty 64bit, the major issue that it wouldn't even boot without turning off the splash screen ;)
[19:30] <bazhang> lonecrow: you might try #ubuntu-server
[19:30] <Prosperux> bonsoir
[19:30] <wkrally> bsdunix nothing happens to my gui if i do that
[19:30] <Outie> +was
[19:30] <bsdunix> wkrally: you mean with vesa driver or...?

[19:31] <drama1981> i need to recompile the rt kernal with paravirtualization disabled. i was wondering if anyone could assist me
[19:31] <tuubun> bazhang: BECAUSE NOONE HERE KNOWS HOW ONE CAN SWITCH BETWEEN KEYBOARD LAYOUTS! shhh...
[19:31] <LotharTBL> WorkingOnWise you can use vnc to control your windows sessions try apt-get install vncviewer and see if that works for you
[19:31] <Prosperux> bye bye
[19:32] <bazhang> tuubun: I gave you a link before--you should read it
[19:32] <bsdunix> wkrally: then...try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[19:32] <nickrud> tuubun: I believe I told you that you can add keyboard indicator to the panel, clicking it will change keyboards
[19:32] <wkrally> bsdunix failsafe is with vesa drivers :D
[19:32] <giesen> Can someone help me before I go a little nuts, I'm trying to get dual-head working on my ATI X1300 and it's driving me NUTS
[19:32] <lonecrow> oh ok t hanks
[19:32] <bazhang> tuubun: and no need for all caps
[19:32] <bsdunix> wkrally: wait. i aint sure if killing GDM will kill x
[19:33] <giesen> I've got the two screens configured
[19:33] <giesen> they're layed out properly
[19:33] <waseem> who was the dude that just helped me
[19:33] <wkrally> bsdunix ok still didn't press enter
[19:33] <giesen> I just have no desktop on the second screen
[19:33] <boris> hi
[19:33] <giesen> I can move my mouse over it, but I just get an X, and obviously I cant drag windows across
[19:33] <bazhang> hi boris
[19:34] <richo> I got several ".directory" in very many directories. In those files it says: "[URL properties] iconSize=0
[19:34] <bsdunix> wkrally: aside from a reboot, killing x for sure...hrmm (i'm pondering a kill -9 process ID here!)
[19:34] <boris> sometimes, when i log in to GNOME, i only see a blank orange screen and a mouse cursor (no panels,wallpaper,icons). I can move the mouse cursor, but i dont have any other option than to restart X
[19:34] <richo> I got several ".directory" in very many directories. In those files it says: "[URL properties] iconSize=0 what is is this? is it safe to remove?
[19:34] <bsdunix> wkrally: all we need to do is reload your x!
[19:35] <bsdunix> wkrally: you know, get it to refresh, see our edited driver
[19:35] <tuubun> nickrud: ubuntu failed to add that "indicator" when i told it to do so by shouting it into my monitor. in keyboard preferences i didn't find any sign of keyboard layout switching
[19:35] <waseem> nickrud - Thanks a bunch it did the trick
[19:35] <bsdunix> wkrally: - re-read /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:35] <LimCore> anyone here have amd64 ubuntu 7.10 please?  I want to try one quick thing:   (as root) touch ./asdf.img && losetup  /dev/loop -e aes-256 ./asdf.img     input any long text like asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfadsfasdfdasf  and did it worked or reported kernel error?
[19:35] <bsdunix> wkrally: right?
[19:36] <bsdunix> wkrally: fsck-it! just reboot!
[19:36] <nickrud> tuubun: right click panel, add to panel, look for keyboard indicator. mentioning that my instructions weren't clear is not unknown
[19:36] <tuubun> bazhang: 1st - if i ask if anyone speaks other languages it does not mean i am looking for a helper speaking that language; 2nd - it sometimes brings a little attention
[19:36] <OXIj> how to enter NO-BREAK SPACE and other unicode symbols in X.org? is it possible without adding new layout. lv3 or something?
[19:36] <atlef> tuubun: what about preferences - keyboard - second tab
[19:36] <corporal_clegg> hello, how can I remap my Forword and Backword keys on my keyboard to END and HOME?

[19:40] <aladdinsane> How do i stop Xubuntu from shuting down my monitor after it has been idle for some time, i know how to turn off the screensaver, but this is some power saving feature.
[19:40] <EchoBinary> gulch:  I have samba shares set up on an OpenSolaris box - one server (Samba v3.0.24), several aliases, with different shares set up for each alias with an include file names after %L. All the windows boxes can see the aliases and the proper shares. A linux (xubuntu) client box (Samba v3.0.26a) sees the aliases, but only the share of the main servers hostname. what gives? what did i do wrong?

[19:51] <tuubun> nickrud: as for me the 1st link suggested some weird list of activities involving manually editing files. so that you know--i finally figured all this out--keyboard switching is called for some reason i don't know "group switching" and is set via 3rd tab of the keyboard preferences window.
[19:51] <waseem> is it possible for different user accounts to have different language settings?

[20:10] <bsdunix> gulch: i don't know. my first experience with online chat was probably 1979. that was "talk" on a large (think 2 acres) ibm cluster at strategic airlift command HQ, using autovon.
[20:10] <ArsHermetica> thanks beni!
[20:11] <Jack_Sparrow> ArsHermetica: the lcd on those does not show up properly in the xorg and may need to be tweeked to get it showing the right res's
[20:11] <gulch> bsdunix: I never got any chance to code anywhere so im making up for world failures basically.
[20:11] <bsdunix> gulch: the internet at that time was mainly just two parts; NORAD and darpanet
[20:12] <gulch> bsdunix: Ive used arp nets

[20:13] <zeroflag> http://zeroflag.de/zeroflag/HddResults_2007-12-07_20-57-45_1.xml <-- these benchmarks were done on a LVM raid0 using two raptor hdds. when I do the benchmark on a single hdd (raptor or a common 7200rpm drive) I get almost the same values for throughput. any idea why the raid is so "slow" (/not any faster than a single drive)?
[20:13] <gulch> bsdunix: the microsoft shit cost WAY too much for me to even consider coding (vic/c20/atari/amiga fan etc)
[20:13] <kaur_> Is there a way to make a 386 kernel recognize dual core?
[20:13] <bsdunix> gulch: amiga is the way to go
[20:14] <bsdunix> kaur_: dual core is smp default is smp
[20:14] <Jack_Sparrow> boris: research the refresh rates for your monitor and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to reflect that info
[20:14] <gulch> bsdunix: This is one of many reasons i like to code m$ out of business completely. For innovations sake
[20:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !offtopic
[20:14] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[20:14] <kaur_> bsdunix: so there is no way to use 386 kernel with 2 cores?
[20:14] <crayt3e> I keep getting this when i try to change the password of normal users: passwd: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info
[20:14] <beni_> zeroflag: because the file is written only to _one_ hdd
[20:15] <gulch> bsdunix: It was good. Though many viruses on the floppies at times :P...
[20:15] <beni_> I mean to one *physical* hdd. The RAID just gives more diskspace!
[20:15] <kaur_> bsdunix: the problem is that the generic kernel makes my computer act strange
[20:15] <DARKGuy> damn the floppies with viruses xD
[20:15] <zeroflag> beni_: eh? shouldn't raid0 split it?
[20:15] <bsdunix> gulch: i don't like m$, but i recognise and appreciate their service to the community.

[20:16] <sitwon> any way to run 32-bit software on 64-bit Ubuntu?
[20:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Please take the chatter to offtopic
[20:16] <gulch> bsdunix: They think that themselves.. well not all but a large portion
[20:16] <boris> Jack_Sparrow: and my only option about refresh rates is 60 Hz
[20:16] <beni_> zeroflag: oh sorry that was bullshit
[20:16] <bsdunix> Jack_Sparrow: point well taken
[20:17] <gulch> bsdunix: They have played long enough, its not a litterbox anymore
[20:17] <beni_> the raid writes the data to both hdds, so why should it be faster?
[20:17] <aoupi> Jack_Sparrow: how dare you say that about them?

[20:19] <PriceChild> flush, mount it properly
[20:19] <bsdunix> beni_: regarding raid; hardware raid is the only way to go. software raid use up system resources beyond any desires gains.
[20:19] <pteague_work> nickrud> yeah, i'm using eclipse from eclipse.org...  i'm just trying to figure out which dictionary app i need... i have aspell & aspell-en installed & it doesn't seem to be using it

[20:21] <bsdunix> beni_: raid 0 reads and writes to stripes of two or more in array; theoretically cutting in half the times w/ 2 drive stripe array. more drives improve this to a certain point

[20:28] <brett_h> anyone know where Gnome saves information you set to a specific external drive in the properties?  it let me put in bad data, now the drive won't mount thus I can't get to propeties to fix it...?
[20:28] <DM|> Isnt there a way to encrypt files from nautilus
[20:28] <gulch> beni_, bounty could be nice.
[20:29] <beni_> DM|: define: encrypt
[20:29] <bsdunix> beni_: no, it's just a used ibm intellistation zpro 6866 w/ external rack mount drive array and internal swap array of 4 scsi u160 drives
[20:29] <nickrud> flush: special directory, handled automatically by the automounter. Had that issue myself
[20:29] <boris> Jack_Sparrow: so i replace those lines in my xorg with ''Horizsync30-81   AND Vertrefresh56-75''???
[20:29] <nalioth> !offtopic
[20:29] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[20:29] <DM|> beni_ just make it so someone has to enter a password to enter that "folder"
[20:30] <flush> i "mkdir /mnt/horizon" as root
[20:30] <beni_> DM|: not possible... such encryption stuff isnt included within natilus
[20:30] <Jack_Sparrow> boris: you can cut and paste the one I linked or add them to your own.. either way..
[20:30] <flush> then i edited fstab, changed /media/horizon to /mnt/horizon
[20:30] <DM|> beni_ well that sucks
[20:30] <beni_> DM|: but if you want to really encrypt files try
[20:30] <xTheGoat121x> So, is there a support room for GNOME?
[20:30] <beni_> !truecrypt | DM|
[20:30] <Jack_Sparrow> boris: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if you get stuck at a cli
[20:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about truecrypt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:30] <flush> using the same line, umask=022 and uid=1000,gid=1000
[20:30] <nickrud> brett_h: gconf-editor, navigate to /system/storage/volumes, one of the devices under there will have the bad mountpoint
[20:30] <flush> same permissions, owned by root and group 46/plugdev
[20:30] <flush> hell thats annoying
[20:31] <brett_h> nickrud: is that in the apps menu somewhere?
[20:31] <Iggz> Having just installed the KDE desk-top - where is the advanced desk-top settings menu? The one that allows cubes, etc? :-)
[20:31] <DM|> beni_ thanks
[20:31] <naturesss> FluxD, now dufault ubuntu desktop hard !!! or reset ???
[20:31] <brett_h> nickrud: I ran it from terminal, just curious because I was looking for it
[20:31] <beni_> DM|: I'm using it for my external hdd it is 100% secure
[20:31] <nickrud> brett_h: it's hidden by default, iirc. right click the applications menu, you can edit it to show that prog (and others)
[20:31] <DM|> beni_ linux and windows compatable?
[20:31] <dis4ever> can't believ i changed from ms to ubuntu and having problems again
[20:31] <flush> nickrud doesnt work in /media/ nor /mnt.

[20:32] <ubotu> k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[20:32] <flush> is my fstab line okay at least ?

[20:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about truecrypt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:32] <bsdunix> beni_: my only point is; find used u160 raid controller and compatible drives as you can afford. i learned alot from doing that. i experimented with disecting my OS - no precedence for that.
[20:33] <boris> Jack_Sparrow: thank you, i did it
[20:33] <Jack_Sparrow> boris: glad to help
[20:33] <Alp-> i need help with my network. i used samba for a while for shared folders between 2 ubuntu computers. but for any reason i cant show the network in nautilus. if i use smbclient, it works well... any ideas?
[20:33] <nickrud> flush: UUID=DC42-3F5B /vfat vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 1 works here
[20:33] <bsdunix> beni_: in the end, i wound up with blinken lights, speed. knowlege available nowhere else
[20:34] <flush> let me try
[20:34] <naturesss> FluxD, now unistall kde pograms all ? from kubuntu-desktop
[20:34] <beni_> bsdunix: :) I really gotta try that when i got spare time :(
[20:34] <Alp-> smb://netzwerk (netzwerk is the name of my network) should show my 2 ubuntu pcs and some other windows clients. but it loads some time and then brings me an error dialog like "folder could not be shown"
[20:35] <FluxD> naturesss: no need
[20:35] <flush> damn man its still doesnt do anything
[20:35] <vangos> how now how can install cccam server?
[20:35] <brett_h> nickrud: thanks, uh, am I missing a way to delete a gconf err.. directive?  no right click menu, delete key does nothing, etc (I found the drive information I added)
[20:35] <flush> wtf is freaking plugdev anyway cant it just mind its own business
[20:35] <DM|> beni_ now.. i dont want to encrypt the whole HDD, i just want to make it so no one can access one folder on my HDD but me with a password
[20:36] <nickrud> brett_h: right click the mount_point in the right window, select unset key (or edit, and fix, no path, just the name you want it to be, like   attache   )
[20:36] <flush> nickrud heres the line
[20:36] <flush> UUID=79A6-276C /horizon vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 1

[20:37] <crass> err th wireless part of NM I should say
[20:37] <nickrud> flush: and you did sudo mkdir /horizon ?
[20:37] <flush> i stat /horizon and see its still owned by root, gid 46/plugdev when trying to chown it says permission denied (and im root no need to say)
[20:37] <bsdunix> beni_: all used, got them as i could: $200 for the ibm $30 for raid controller, about $30 per u160 scsi drive. make good relationship with local used business computer equipment retailer.
[20:37] <flush> yes i did
[20:37] <brett_h> nickrud: thanks again
[20:37] <nickrud> flush:  sudo umount /horizon && sudo mount /horizon
[20:37] <poeloq> how do i change the standard application for mp3s etc?
[20:37] <beni_> DM|: nope sorry. Truecrypt is able to create container files which are encrypted and which you can mount to a specific folder if you got the password
[20:37] <beni_> bsdunix: :)
[20:37] <brett_h> anyone know what it takes to name a disk when you create it with ubuntu, I was just using fdisk/mkfs.ext3 but now I have 2 external drives annoying named "disk" (in Gnome anyway)
[20:38] <flush> nickrud same thing
[20:38] <flush> everytime i edited fstab i did "umount -a && mount -a"
[20:38] <flush> and /horizon is never busy so it does umount

[21:09] <VSpike> kitofhawaii / CyberGabber: vncviewer and xvncviewer all alias to xvnc4viewer for me, which is interesting
[21:09] <kitofhawaii> sasha_: but if you had it before, the newest ati driver shuts of direct rendering in your xorg.conf file...so if you did go back to the restricted driver, you should check your xorg.conf file to make sure composite is enabled
[21:09] <cwill747> i need PuTTy help
[21:10] <VSpike> still, it just did the job, so that's great :)
[21:10] <DM|> Don64 yep got it already, its encrpyting,. but its been running for 10 mins now.. which worries

[21:13] <sasha_> direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

[21:14] <mnuaimat> magic_ninja: hmm, seems good idea
[21:14] <Habyby> alguem conhece o jogo Carom?
[21:14] <j0hn> hey, i have some MP3s and when i try to play them, they sound scratchy. the thing is, they sound perfectly fine in windows. i opened them up in Audacity (in ubuntu) and they play fine. but in a normal music player in ubuntu (Rythmbox), they sound scratchy. can anyone please help me?
[21:14] <VSpike> cwill747: I don't think they ever would, unless you were doing something very clever
[21:14] <magic_ninja> mnuaimat: i run the clan, we have a server and soon a website, come to #linuxgaming on gamesurge for more information
[21:14] <crdlb> sasha_: display :1.0 means that you've installed the xserver-xgl package, in which you do not get direct rendering, but compiz still works
[21:14] <sasha_> what i have to do
[21:14] <cwill747> VSpike: ok, thanks for your help
[21:14] <sasha_> :D
[21:14] <sasha_> but how can i back rendering
[21:14] <mnuaimat> magic_ninja: who is working on the website now ?

[21:15] <shampoonator> magic_ninja,  what games do you play in your clan?
[21:15] <VSpike> cwill747: the best you will be able to do it to copy the files temporarily and play them with something on the windows machine
[21:15] <crdlb> sasha_: get rid of Xgl
[21:15] <magic_ninja> counter-strike 1.6
[21:15] <crdlb> sasha_: but then you won't be able to use compiz
[21:15] <VSpike> cwill747: check out winscp for remote file access via ssh
[21:15] <Flare183> What is this kded running it's running at 80% what it is?
[21:15] <sasha_> damn
[21:15] <j0hn> can somebody please help me to get my music files playing correctly?
[21:15] <Flare183> !patience
[21:15] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[21:15] <kitofhawaii> sasha_: personally, why not stay with indirect rendering and wait for the new ati driver to be available on an ubuntu repo? it's going to be indirect anyway
[21:15] <cwill747> VSpike: alright, i'll try that thanks
[21:15] <shampoonator> doesnt look to "linux" to me :D

[21:16] <kitofhawaii> sasha_: well...at least, kinda...i know they're going to use ati's proprietary opengl driver, etc...the new driver's a serious pain right now to install as it is :)
[21:16] <Pirate_Hunter> anyone here know any good latin music I could get or any latin groups that are good and I dont mean those bands that try to pass as latin... im thinking something old but hip and maybe new as well not too new they are just mad with the whole rap in between

[21:17] <skelter> hey all - i'm having an issue where when i enable my nvidia drivers and reboot, it dumps me into "low graphics mode". can only get out of it if i disable the drivers. anyone know what might be going wrong here?
[21:17] <sasha_> when will be available
[21:17] <kishan_> linux4me, the default in livecd is grub
[21:17] <sasha_> that new drivers :D
[21:18] <linduxed> all it says when i run liloconfig is that /etc/fstab is screwed
[21:18] <DM|> Don64 says its still encrypting, 20 mins or so now
[21:18] <kitofhawaii> sasha_: *shrug* anyone's guess
[21:18] <sasha_> hmm much better works with compiz
[21:18] <Don64> how easy is it to use?
[21:18] <linduxed> skelter: you have to enable it in "restricted drivers"
[21:18] <magic_ninja> skelter: remove nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-common then change your xorg.conf driver line from nvidia to nv, restart x (ctrl alt backspace) then reinstall nvidia-glx and change your xorg.conf back to nvidia and restart x again
[21:18] <SQL_Noob> hi
[21:18] <linduxed> anyone on my prob?
[21:18] <sasha_> without compiz its slow :S
[21:19] <chester_martins> My connection to wireless network fall down with no reason and i just can connect after reboot the computer :S
[21:19] <chester_martins> anybody knows why?
[21:19] <crdlb> sasha_: that's a fglrx bug :)
[21:19] <skelter> linduxed, yes, that is what i did
[21:19] <skelter> magic_ninja, is this a common problem then?
[21:19] <Don64> DM|: how hard was it to get to work?
[21:19] <magic_ninja> skelter: for me, yes
[21:19] <sasha_> LOL
[21:19] <magic_ninja> skelter: i've gotten to the point i don't use packaged drivers anymore
[21:19] <sEbAsTiAnFfX> somebody knows how to make works the third button of the mouse as the displacement button in firefox ?
[21:19] <skelter> magic_ninja, cool, i'll give it a shot. thanks :)
[21:20] <skelter> magic_ninja, every time i've upgraded, things have gone wrong with the video. till this point i was able to fix it by reinstalling the drivers from nvidia.com
[21:21] <magic_ninja> skelter: thats what i do
[21:21] <task0> hello all, when i install flash_nonfree at the end of the terminal the message md5sum mismatch on install_flash... what can i do?!?
[21:21] <chester_martins> My connection to wireless network fall down with no reason and i just can connect after reboot the computer :S
[21:21] <chester_martins> anybody knows why?

[21:21] <matthieu> task0, try again ?
[21:21] <skelter> magic_ninja, don't have nvidia-glx, but nvidia-glx-new. assuming that i should just remove that instead, yes?
[21:21] <DM|> don64 not hard, just install 3 debs
[21:21] <sasha_> can i install beryl on ati drivers ?
[21:21] <kitofhawaii> sasha_: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide (if you're too impatient to wait for the newer drivers to be available on the repo)
[21:21] <crdlb> sasha_: beryl is dead
[21:22] <task0> matthieu: tried 3 times, all the same!
[21:22] <sasha_> what ?
[21:22] <Don64> DM|: how did you start the encryption?
[21:22] <shampoonator> is there a "good" (k)ubuntu gaming page?
[21:22] <sasha_> beryl is death ?
[21:22] <sasha_> it was much better than compiz
[21:22] <crdlb> sasha_: it has been replaced by compiz fusion, which is installed by default on ubuntu
[21:22] <[gloom]> my laptop has a pad, with 3 buttons, and a multimedia keyboard. The multimedia keys are mapped as buttons 4,5,6,7 of the /dev/input/mice. When i connect my external usb mouse, it's on /dev/input/mice too, and the button 4 is mapped in the wheel to, so every use of the wheel is interpreted as a keystroke on the multimedia keyboard
[21:22] <zenwryly> Can anyone reccomend a tool for low level network testing?  I have some wierd socket behaviour (hanging until timeout) and I want to see what level the problem is at?
[21:22] <shampoonator> sasha_,  i would say beryl was somehow reintegrated :D
[21:22] <kitofhawaii> sasha_: compiz fusion is beryl...
[21:22] <sasha_> i was not found compiz on 7.10
[21:22] <Flare183> sash_:> yes it's dead sayly
[21:22] <Flare183> sadly
[21:23] <shampoonator> kitofhawaii, no
[21:23] <sasha_> aha
[21:23] <crdlb> sasha_: you're using kubuntu, not ubuntu
[21:23] <DM|> Don64 dont do it yet, i dont think its working properly
[21:23] <jihun> 여긴 한글 안되나?
[21:23] <sasha_> kubuntu
[21:23] <Flare183> yeah I'm using Kubuntu as well
[21:23] <sasha_> he
[21:23] <kitofhawaii> shampoonator: for...all intensive purposes it is :)

[21:31] <mtx1> no problem!
[21:32]  * Flare183 says I wonder what in the world is happening to the main members?

[21:32] <mtx1> when i start my ubuntu system i get init: rcS process 2030 killed by signal 11 and rc-default process 2032 killed by signal 11 anyone know how to fix this? i have searched google for hrs with no fix? what would cause this?

[21:32] <SyncopatedFool> what i'm wanting is to release the ip and get knocked out of here
[21:32] <cwill747> SyncopatedFool: are you trying to get a new one?
[21:32] <shampoonator> btw is there a online poker game for linux? not one of this java things
[21:32]  * nickrud seconds Flare183 
[21:32] <cwill747> SyncopatedFool: release and renew?
[21:32] <kitofhawaii> SyncopatedFool: sudo dhclient -r eth0 (will definitely release the current lease)
[21:33] <sasha_> how can i make transparent cube
[21:33] <shampoonator> im so bored :/
[21:33] <SyncopatedFool> cwill747: no, i'm trying to properly disconnect my connection so that i can hook up a vonage adapter so that i won't have a mac mismatch on dslam at my dsl company
[21:33] <Flare183> Seveas:> I hate to bother you and you don't have to answer of you don't want to but what is going on with tge main members of ubuntu?
[21:33] <dave81> quick question for all
[21:33] <SiegeX> saloxin_: 6 sides of square plexiglass?
[21:33] <kitofhawaii> SyncopatedFool: but you'll need to run the prev command to get a lease back (if i'm not mistaken)
[21:33] <dave81> what is the best linux os?
[21:33] <Flare183> !best
[21:33] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[21:33] <CompGuy77> sasha_:  do you have "Advanced Desktop effects settings installed?
[21:33] <sasha_> yes
[21:33] <sasha_> :D
[21:33] <SiegeX> the one that runs the linux kernel
[21:34] <skelter> magic_ninja, i did what you suggested - should it say that i'm using these drivers in the "restricted driver" control panel, now?
[21:34] <SiegeX> but the best linux distro is Slackware =)
[21:34] <SyncopatedFool> but that doesn't solve the problem of releasing the ip from my computer's nic
[21:34] <shampoonator> dave81,  gentoo :)
[21:34] <nickrud> linux from scratch, cuz it's yours
[21:34] <CyberGabber> dave81: Find that out for yourself at : http://distrowatch.com/
[21:34] <CompGuy77> go to System/Preferences/Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[21:34] <matthieu> dave81, you will never have a final response, or perhaps Me :p
[21:35] <SiegeX> LFS is great as a learning tool, but as a full up system, that would be a bitch to admin yourself to keep up to date with all the security patches and bug fixes and what not IMHO
[21:35] <cwill747> SyncopatedFool: have you tryed sudo dhclient ?
[21:35] <continentaltest>  i have a problem printing ... installed latest vbox package under the latest Kubuntu distro, and started a WinXP sp1 VM for a little more testing (trying to completely get away of MS Windoze, sans a few legacy apps).

The WinXP has the appropr
[21:35] <cwill747> SyncopatedFool: should release and renew
[21:35] <nickrud> SyncopatedFool: sudo ifdown eth0
[21:35] <kitofhawaii> dave81: yah good luck with that one. depends what you're doing, (or who you're doing it for) i stick with either centos, opensuse, or ubuntu
[21:35] <dave81> cool ty  all
[21:35] <BigDaddy> Come on... someone here has to know how to uninstall a piece of hardware
[21:35] <cwill747> SyncopatedFool: that would work too
[21:35] <cwill747> BigDaddy: What are you trying to uninstall?
[21:36] <dave81> BigDaddy what hard ware>/
[21:36] <cs02rm0> BigDaddy: how did you install the driver?
[21:36] <kitofhawaii> SyncopatedFool: "sudo dhclient -r eth0" release the lease

[21:41] <CompGuy77> if you have a scroll mouse, click and hold the wheel to rotate the cube
[21:41] <cox377> anyone know how to install real player lol
[21:41] <sethk> BigDaddy, I don't know; you said you had installed everything today, so I assumed you might remember
[21:41] <kitofhawaii> Locksm: hah wb :)
[21:42] <mtx1> cox377 look at the feisty wiki its in there
[21:42] <Pyrofreek> anyone?
[21:42] <Locksm> kitofhawaii: thank you :)
[21:42] <nickrud> AdeptSix: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/map.html
[21:42] <mtx1> think its sudo apt-get install realplay
[21:42] <sasha_> is x1600 ati drivers supported ?
[21:42] <sasha_> now i have x600
[21:42] <kitofhawaii> Locksm: most use kde for the eye candy, and i'll be honest widget support in gnome isn't so great
[21:43] <sasha_> last time when i trying to install compiz on x1600 i was not have luck
[21:43] <CompGuy77> how can I get widgets on ubuntu?
[21:43] <Pyrofreek> anyone know my my screen would be garbled upon starting up
[21:44] <Locksm> kitofhawaii: ok, but does using kde make me into the evil devil concerning the ubuntu way or, does it open op a world of problems or what.. remember still a rookie, though ive taken a lot of what ive been told to heart, and reading up on some websites linked to me ;)
[21:44] <kitofhawaii> sasha_: ask locksm how much of a pain getting the latest ati driver was...it takes hours (and a few prayers)
[21:44] <cox377> mtx1: unfortuantly it looks like debian isnt hosting it anymore
[21:44] <Locksm> ARG
[21:44] <Locksm> dun ask me sasha_!!
[21:44] <sethk> Locksm, ubuntu supports kde, gnome, as well as many others
[21:44] <Locksm> still got the shivers
[21:44] <sasha_> someone have x1600 ?
[21:44] <Locksm> took about 2½ hours just getting the ati drivers down and compiled i think
[21:44] <BigDaddy> sethk: ok, how about this. Xine keeps saying my device is busy
[21:44] <DM|> since gutsy control C no longer shuts down a process in terminal, anyone know how to fix that?
[21:44] <sethk> Locksm, I have gnome, kde, icewm, enlightenment, and windowmaker on my box
[21:45] <Locksm> then getting em installed and makeing nessacary tweaks prob took close to 2 hours
[21:45] <BigDaddy> sethk: how can I find out what is occuping my sound card?
[21:45] <kitofhawaii> Locksm: it doesn't make you the devil, but kde4 is still in rc stage, so i'd wait for kde4 to go stable release until you tried it (or try kde3 but why bother with kde4 coming out?)
[21:45] <Locksm> not to mention our session with that damn wifi
[21:45] <sethk> BigDaddy, Not sure.  I could be a sound server issue.  If the sound server isn't running, only one app can access sound
[21:45] <CyberGabber> Pyrofreek: When youre in the garbled screen, you can try pressing together : Ctrl Alt +    or Ctrl Alt -   , which switches between lower/higher resolution...
[21:45] <Locksm> Ah
[21:45] <AdeptSix> nickrud: do I need to add this into /boot/grub/menu.lst .... or better yet what file needs to be edited to set the chain-loading?
[21:45] <sasha_> i was found notice that only x1600 are not supported
[21:45] <sethk> kitofhawaii, because it's wise to wait until kde4 has been out for a few months before upgrading
[21:45] <sasha_> but that was before 4 mounts
[21:46] <BigDaddy> sethk: Aha... what is the sound server process name? I will look and see if it is runniing?
[21:46] <sethk> kitofhawaii, if you install it the moment it's released, you are asking for trouble  :)
[21:46] <sethk> BigDaddy, I believe that in gnome it is called snd
[21:46] <kitofhawaii> sethk: aye...i tried installing the kde4 rc releae and it broke my gnome :)
[21:46] <Locksm> kitofhawaii: so basicly just go and learn some more of the ubunto gutsy gibbon version, and then just shift over doing a reinstall when new edition gets out, that way also getting linux/unix/ubuntu under my skin
[21:46] <Pyrofreek> cyber: i doubt it will work because all it is is the loading bar and logo just really jacked up, am i able to access anything from that screen
[21:46] <Locksm> btw what do you refer to in general, just plain linux or ?
[21:46] <frost0> do you think i can run ubuntu on a 9bg partition?
[21:46] <kitofhawaii> sethk: so i'm not trying it anytime soon even after release personally lol
[21:46] <Pyrofreek> cyber: it doesnt actually make it to the login
[21:46] <paul-a> does anyone know how to get samba to work in 7.10?
[21:46] <nickrud> AdeptSix: yes, that would be the xp stanza in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:47] <sethk> kitofhawaii, my point is it makes perfect sense to install the stable kde 3
[21:47] <BigDaddy> sethk: Well, if the process is " snd " it is not running.
[21:47] <Ildjarn> I need help with ndiswrapper please. I typed ndiswrapper -l and it says the device is present.. But the wireless light didn't turn on.. What else should I do to make it work? I tried ndswrapper -m and it says module configuration already has alias directive
[21:47] <kitofhawaii> Locksm: yah, kde and gnome are just your window managers, there's plenty more to learn besides :)
[21:47] <AdeptSix> nickrud:  this is what I currently have title		 Windows XP
[21:47] <AdeptSix> root 		(hd1)
[21:47] <AdeptSix> map 		(hd0) (hd1)
[21:47] <AdeptSix> map 		(hd1) (hd0)
[21:47] <AdeptSix> chainloader 	+1
[21:47] <AdeptSix> savedefault
[21:47] <AdeptSix> boot
[21:47] <Locksm> kitofhawaii: that fact is beginning to dawn on me
[21:47] <frost0> kitofhawaii, do you think i can run 7.10 on a 9bg partition?
[21:47] <sethk> BigDaddy, that's odd.  Try rebooting the system.  Normally I wouldn't suggest that, but it sounds like you've been hacking and the machine state isn't known.
[21:48] <AdeptSix> That has not worked for me.
[21:48] <Locksm> dosnt they recommend aprox 14 gb on ubuntu in general
[21:48] <AdeptSix> I get a boot error when I select Windows XP from grub
[21:48] <sethk> AdeptSix, it doesn't work much more frequently than it does work
[21:48] <nickrud> AdeptSix: pasting here isn't very nice, and root still should be hd0 iirc
[21:48] <frost0> kitofhawaii, better question...how much does a standard install take up?
[21:48] <BigDaddy> sethk: I have rebooted several times after uninstalling everything I thought I installed and this problem cropped up
[21:48] <CyberGabber> Pyrofreek: type my complete name please...  Try at Loginscreen the keys Ctrl Alt backSpace  to 'restart' grahics.. Something it helped me wchi kind of same problem.
[21:48] <AdeptSix> I am sorry about the pasting, I realized that as soon as I did it.
[21:48] <jasoni> Good Day all...  I'm having a problem with my sound.  It appears to be playing, but there is no sound.  Nothing is muted, tried two cards (built in and USB)...  Read lots of articles...  I'm out of ideas.
[21:48] <sasha_> why u use winblos ?
[21:49] <sasha_> :D
[21:49] <sethk> BigDaddy, ok.  I run kde so I'm not the best person to help with the gnome sound server
[21:49] <AdeptSix> Because to my knowledge I can't run Civ4 in ubuntu.
[21:49] <sethk> AdeptSix, too late!  Off with your head!
[21:49] <sasha_> hehehehe
[21:49] <BigDaddy> sethk: That's ok, you gave me a starting point. Thanks
[21:49] <sasha_> try with cedega
[21:49] <sasha_> or wine
[21:49] <phoenix__> hi, does anybody know how to run google earth on compiz, xgl and ati pivate driver?
[21:49] <Alp`> i need help with my network. i used samba for a while for shared folders between 2 ubuntu computers. but for any reason i cant show the network in nautilus. if i use smbclient, it works well... any ideas?
[21:49] <Alp`> smb://netzwerk (netzwerk is the name of my network) should show my 2 ubuntu pcs and some other windows clients. but it loads some time and then brings me an error dialog like "folder could not be shown"
[21:49] <AdeptSix> cedega does not support it as of yet to my knowledge ....
[21:49] <mtx1> when i start my ubuntu system i get init: rcS process 2030 killed by signal 11 and rc-default process 2032 killed by signal 11 anyone know how to fix this? i have searched google for hrs with no fix? what would cause this?
[21:49] <Pyrofreek> cybergabber: thats the thing though, it doesnt actually make it to the login screen, it just hangs witha  garbled image right after the load bar
[21:49] <kitofhawaii> frost0: it'll work (i'm only uing 4gb of my / mount and i have plenty installed)
[21:50] <GH0> Hello. I have been trying to load Ubuntu on a machine that is rather old for awhile. Everytime  I load it, it comes up normaly after the kernel loads it says [0.000000] ACPI: Unable to locate RSDP. I was wondering what this could mean.
[21:50] <nickrud> AdeptSix: lol, I always keep windows on the first partition of the first drive, just because it's so darned brain dead
[21:50] <Ildjarn> Someone please help me.. I can't get my wireless to work.. The restricted driver installed but didn't find any wireless networks.. Ndiswrapper installed but it doesnt work either
[21:50] <sasha_> does wine support civ4
[21:50] <cox377> can anyone download real player from the linux site?

[21:51] <jasoni> Eicca: Are you sure that Part2 is ok?  Can it be opened on other computers?

[21:53] <frost0> kitofhawaii, how will i partition it with gutsy?
[21:53] <phoenix__> sasha: i thougt there is an special parameter but i forgive it
[21:53] <sasha_> hmm
[21:53] <Alejandr0> hello, i need help with xmms plugin singit
[21:53] <coriander> nickrud, thanks that worked.  I just had to swap the -m parameter to come after --home <newdir> instead of before it.
[21:53] <nickrud> AdeptSix: raid I don't understand either
[21:53] <AdeptSix> nickrud:  Thanks for the help, though I still get the feeling this isn't going to work.  If it doesn't do you think it's hopeless outside a fresh install?
[21:53] <kitofhawaii> frost0: at 9gb i'd let gutsy take care of the partitioning for you...unless you really don't like its decisions
[21:53] <Eicca> jasoni I'll try
[21:53] <nickrud> coriander: cool, I'll try to remember that :)
[21:54] <sasha_> now they was tell me
[21:54] <sasha_> if i use compiz i dont have rendering
[21:54] <frost0> kitofhawaii, does it leave a buffer of space between the two?
[21:54] <nickrud> AdeptSix: no, there are a lot of much smarter people that drop in and out daily, check back in a few
[21:54] <sasha_> and for google earth u must have it
[21:54] <crdlb> sasha_: no, you don't have "direct rendering" :)
[21:54] <crdlb> rendering is an ambiguous term which doesn't mean much
[21:54] <sasha_> hehe
[21:54] <AdeptSix> cool thanks ... if I'm back in 5 it means I'm not in windoze
[21:54] <anabelle> hi
[21:54] <AdeptSix> =D
[21:54] <meoblast001> whats the best video editor for ubuntu
[21:55] <Locksm> ok just finished takeing a lot of data off the external, now i got a Q more though... Its ntfs partitioned and its in one drive and its 300 gb large
[21:55] <Locksm> i was thinking on takeing say, 100 gb out of it, and slam 40 into a linux partition, and rest as a fat 32 for shareing between systems.. But!! here is the part, i got 2 hard drives, 1 is into 2 pices, and the other needs to be halfed up and remade into 3 partitions... I still got about 120 gb of data on it that i dun wanna loose, can i still cut the partition into a smaller pice?
[21:55] <meoblast001> i currently use Kino
[21:55] <coriander> nickrud, I also then used groupmod -n <oldname> <newname>
[21:55] <sasha_> well u know what i trying to say :D
[21:55] <kitofhawaii> frost0: it generally favors /home since that's where your data usually lives
[21:55] <anabelle> i have a problem, when compiz is active and i try to play i video it has gaps.
[21:55] <nickrud> coriander: you have learned about man pages, I see
[21:55] <kitofhawaii> Locksm: dunno...i don't generally use partition resize tools (i don't trust them personally)
[21:55] <anabelle> it stops for 2-3 seces and then keep playing for about a minute
[21:55] <Locksm> me neither
[21:55] <skelter> is there some reason that the update manager tries to push a new version of graphviz on me every two days?
[21:56] <kitofhawaii> Locksm: but i live in hawaii, and our power goes out frequently enough for me to stick to the old backup/restore method
[21:56] <Locksm> kitofhawaii: mkay.. Well ive never been a fan of repartitioning half an active drive my self, always taken backup or placed data somewhere else, and repartition entire drive...
[21:57] <coriander> nickrud, honestly I just guessed it and got lucky, tho I'm not a stranger to man.  thx again
[21:57] <Alejandr0> hello, i need help with xmms plugin singit, how do i run it?
[21:57] <Eicca> jasoni thanks alot :) I'll save that forum to bookmark :P
[21:57] <Locksm> guess its just another burning session of 100 gb worth of data...
[21:57] <pike_> Alejandr0: chmod +x scriptname   then ./scriptname   to run
[21:58] <Locksm> *looks at the time*, thank god its weekend! I'll be up half the night geeking it out in front of the flatty
[21:58] <meoblast001> dang it
[21:58] <meoblast001> i saw a freaking Winblows ad on a Linux article
[21:58] <Eicca> :( sad
[21:58] <kitofhawaii> Locksm: lol i dunno if you don't have enough space somewhere to back up your data to (and it's that critical not to lose it) you're flying a kite without a string
[21:58] <phoenix__> i try to run google earth with: DISPLAY=:0 googleearth an works!!! but there's no borders Any suggestions?
[21:59] <crdlb> phoenix__: that's normal an unavoidable
[21:59] <Locksm> i got enough space to redirect about 40 of it
[21:59] <sasha_> i was see microsoft pages on linux servers
[21:59] <lifeforms> Q: what is the Generally Recommended way to build/customize a firewall on ubuntu server?
[21:59] <sasha_> :D
[21:59] <Ildjarn> Someone please help me.. I can't get my wireless to work.. The restricted driver installed but didn't find any wireless networks.. Ndiswrapper installed but it doesnt work either
[21:59] <nickrud> lifeforms: shorewall is very nice, and is in ubuntu main
[21:59] <Locksm> but its mostly selfmade video, websites for variouse clients, and large commercial adds with a lot of graph notes...
[21:59] <crdlb> phoenix__: display :0 is the underlying X server which has no window manager. Xgl is running in a fullscreen window on top of that server.
[21:59] <Locksm> tends to take up a lot of space...
[21:59] <haukuri> Does anyone have this same problem? Whenever i move a video window (xvideo) in any video player (totem, vlc or mplayer) the image itself gets left behind until I drop the window. I've got an intel graphics card.
[21:59] <barack> hola a todos
[21:59] <lifeforms> nickrud: thanks!
[21:59] <Ildjarn> Please help me i need to go to school in a few hours :(

[22:00] <Locksm> Ildjarn: your using a broadcom wifi right ?
[22:00] <talcite> would someone be able to take a look for me?
[22:00] <Ildjarn> Locksm yes
[22:00] <kitofhawaii> Locksm: yah, sounds like time to invest in a 500gb usb drive (i got mine for $100, that's cheap for insurance :) )
[22:00] <Locksm> *faints*
[22:00] <talcite> config.log: http://rafb.net/p/zh32en26.html
[22:00] <chronic1> anyone here having problems with flashplugin-nonfree and md5sum mismatches?
[22:01] <Locksm> minipci or regular pci Ildjarn ?
[22:01] <Ildjarn> Locksm minipci
[22:01] <meoblast001> is Piviti good?
[22:01] <Locksm> you wouldnt happen to use an acer laptop right ?
[22:01] <Ildjarn> Locksm: Compaq
[22:01] <sasha_> i have problems with aircrack-ng with atheros 5007 wifi card
[22:01] <sasha_> :D
[22:02] <meoblast001> is Kino better than Piviti?
[22:02] <mr_flea> is it possible to do a chroot-type install without actually chrooting? all i see that is being done in the chroot is installing a kernel and bootloader... (i'm asking because chroot isn't going to work because i installed amd64 but i'm working from i386)
[22:02] <white_eagle> i just want to share an experience
[22:02] <Locksm> oh, ok, well i had the problem with an acer minipci, my card was a revision 3, and someone in here were kind enough to help me out with my issue. But doing the process again, i wouldnt bet on 100% cuz im a rookie at linux / ubuntu
[22:03] <kane77> Ildjarn, where are you?
[22:03] <Ildjarn> kane77 India
[22:03] <kane77> you have school saturday_
[22:03] <Ildjarn> yeah
[22:03] <Ildjarn> half day
[22:03] <AgentHeX> what's the best way to mofidy and compile source packages for something like GPM?
[22:03] <meoblast001> i have a question?
[22:03] <kane77> Ildjarn, wow, that sucks.. I feel for you..
[22:03] <meoblast001> how do you add music to PiTiVi?
[22:04] <AgentHeX> and by GPM i mean Gnome Power Manager
[22:04] <kane77> Ildjarn, so what vireless you have_
[22:04] <AgentHeX> can someone suggest an IDE for this purpose
[22:04] <kitofhawaii> haukari: that's normal...if you're not using a composite window manager, it won't change the render location until you drop the window
[22:04] <white_eagle> i couldn't change my screen resolution higher than 640*480 with the fglrx drivers( for ati), but when I uninstalled them and reinstalled them the screen resolution itself changed to 1024*768
[22:04] <kane77> Ildjarn, s/wireless
[22:04] <Don64> DM| : are you still working with it?
[22:05] <mtx1> when i start my ubuntu system i get init: rcS process 2030 killed by signal 11 and rc-default process 2032 killed by signal 11 anyone know how to fix this? i have searched google for hrs with no fix? what would cause this?
[22:05] <frost0> kitofhawaii, how can i
[22:05] <kane77> AgentHeX, there is no IDE specificaly designed for modifying GPM, but there are few for C/C++, such as anjuta, eclipse, netbeans...
[22:05] <frost0> kitofhawaii, whoa...how can i tell how much hd space i have left?
[22:05] <mtx1> frost df -Th in terminal
[22:05] <kitofhawaii> frost0: from terminal, "df"
[22:05] <robdeman> hey alll... aMule just does not connect to any servers anymore... it has been working allright for weeks.. it just stopped
[22:05] <AgentHeX> kane77: you prefer anything in particular?  i've seen Eclipse (on my Windows machine), but i'm familiar with Dev-Cpp and Visual Studio (though I stopped using Microsoft compilers a while ago)
[22:06] <Ildjarn> kane77: BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI
[22:06] <Slazer> hello
[22:06] <phoenix__> can someone help me, i have an ubuntu 7.10 based distro and I live in spain but when i try to read a cd or dvd nautilus doensn't show spanish special characters, does anybody have an idea of how to fix it?
[22:06] <Slazer> does sb know the command to configure console?
[22:06] <kane77> Ildjarn, that's the same as I have!
[22:06] <Ildjarn> kane77: Cool. Are you using the restricted driver, or ndiswrapper?
[22:06] <Slazer> font, chareset..etc.
[22:07] <kane77> Ildjarn, the restricted driver didn't work in my case, only ndiswrapper...
[22:07] <white_eagle> just to ask, is this the first ubuntu version with support for wireless networking? i mean for the 7.10
[22:07] <kane77> AgentHeX, I prefer netbeans but that's only because I'm java & ruby dev
[22:07] <Ildjarn> kane77: Okay, I had tried both, but neither worked
[22:08] <kane77> Ildjarn, one at a time?
[22:08] <Ildjarn> kane77: Yeah
[22:08] <Ildjarn> kane77: Which version of ndiswrapper should I use?
[22:09] <sEbAsTiAnFfX> somebody knows how to make works the third button of the mouse as the displacement button in firefox (ubuntu 7.10) ?
[22:09] <mtx1> i get init: rcS process 2030 killed by signal 11 and rc-default process 2032 killed by signal 11 anyone know how to fix this? i have searched google for hrs with no fix? is there anyway to just recopy the /etc/init.d folder or will that mess everything up?
[22:09] <kane77> Ildjarn, I use the one from repositories.. and downloaded the driver from the HP page (my laptop is HP)
[22:09] <Ildjarn> kane77, I tried that but the wireless light didn't turn on :[
[22:10] <kitofhawaii> Ildjarn: did you modprobe between loading each ndis driver?
[22:10] <Ildjarn> kitofhawaii: I added the driver and then sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[22:10] <sebrock> I need some help, just installed this package from hardy rep to a gutsy system, worked out fine. However the changelog says that a sertain patch is included. Doesnt seem to work here thought
[22:10] <sebrock> the package is lirc
[22:10] <kitofhawaii> Ildjarn: after removing an unworking driver, did you "modprobe -r ndiswrapper"?
[22:11] <chester_martins> SOMEBODY know about joomla and mySQL DB??? i need some help
[22:11] <Ildjarn> kitofhawaii: I didn't have anything to remove

[22:12] <kitofhawaii> Ildjarn: "ndiswrapper -l" didn't show the device installed then?
[22:12] <Ildjarn> kitofhawaii: Yes it did, after I added the driver
[22:12] <kitofhawaii> Ildjarn: then you need to remove it with modprobe before trying a different driver

[22:33] <marcioapf> wols: nohup=no?

[22:34] <wols> Agiofws: no need to mount anything

[22:36] <marcioapf> wols: thank you very much =)
[22:37] <hape> hi .. anyone in there who used gutsy with rdesktop on multiple screens?
[22:37] <pythondasnake> I want to Dual Boot with Ubuntu/xp.  If I install Ubuntu does it package software to partition the HDD. I attempted to do it but it says I don't have enough partitioned space, although I don't know how that is possible with a 500 GB hard drive ??
[22:38] <kane77> wols, and the steering wheels?
[22:38] <Hilikus> hey guys, im trying to backup using rsync but i need a way to burn directly to a dvd, i dont want to create tars or any package that needs to be in the hard drive, i need to have it sent directly to the dvd burner, what program can i use to do that??
[22:38] <pythondasnake> NERO?
[22:38] <bruenig> Hilikus, so you want to rsync it directly to a dvd?
[22:38] <pythondasnake> I I guess that is windows
[22:38] <robdeman> hey alll... aMule just does not connect to any servers anymore... it has been working allright for weeks.. it just stopped
[22:39] <BarryToeman> geektern: probably.  try the tor detector page: http://torcheck.xenobite.eu/
[22:39] <Hilikus> pythondasnake you probably dont have free partitions, but you can resize your win partition
[22:39] <Hilikus> bruenig yes
[22:39] <BarryToeman> geektern: it's easy to use with the TorButton extension in firefox
[22:39] <pythondasnake> hilikus before I install ?
[22:39] <wols> pythondasnake: do you have some free unparitioned space on your harddisk?
[22:39] <Hilikus> pythondasnake during. the installiton will do that
[22:39] <bruenig> Hilikus, ok well you don't want rsync then, what you are going to want to do I suppose is use mkisofs and then pipe that to cdrecord
[22:39] <zechs> how does one get root globally in ubuntu? I have something that's impossible to do in the terminal it seems, and so i need root on the 'desktop'
[22:39] <pythondasnake> wols: I don't know how to check that using ubuntu?? Unpartitioned space
[22:39] <bruenig> Hilikus, maybe I growisofs does this, check the man page, I think it might
[22:39] <pythondasnake> I'm running off the iso image
[22:39] <pythondasnake> currently
[22:40] <Nexers> #ubuntu-pl
[22:40] <wols> pythondasnake: cfdisk for example
[22:40] <geektern> BarryToeman: thankyou i will be back to tell you the results to see if it worked or now
[22:40] <hape> zechs: try sudo su -
[22:40] <Hilikus> bruenig couldnt i pipe rsync??
[22:40] <bruenig> Hilikus, yeah the man page says growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /path/to/files
[22:40] <wols> zechs: sudo bash
[22:40] <aBound> pythonasnake: Usually on the LiveCD there is a partition editor might be in System >> Admistration >> Gnome Partition Editor if not its in Applications
[22:41] <bruenig> Hilikus, but why are you rsyncing, it defeats the point, rsync's purpose is to allow incremental backups by comparing two different sets of files, burning a dvd doesn't allow that
[22:41] <pythondasnake> Ok.. I will look around.. Might need some help here as I go through it :)
[22:41] <BarryToeman> brett_h: did you check to see if your font dpi has changed?
[22:41] <kazol> I can't access the NTFS partition at all from Ubuntu-it worked before.
[22:41] <Hilikus> bruenig of course it does, it burns new sessions where each session has the changes since the last backup
[22:41] <aBound> pythonasnake: alrighty!
[22:41] <zezom> I can't seen to resize any of my windows in the gnome version of ubuntu? what am I doing wrong?
[22:41] <pythondasnake> Oh cool.. DIdn't know Ubuntu had a python interp installed .. Neat, I like python
[22:41] <wols> kazol: mount
[22:42] <aBound> pythonasnake: Also has a Perl interpreter
[22:42] <kane77> zechs, what is impossible to do in terminal?
[22:42] <bruenig> Hilikus, hmmmm I have a hard time thinking rsync can do that
[22:42] <Agiofws> wols,    she umounted  ... and did apt-get update  and then apt-get install build-essential  and she got this error
[22:42] <kazol> wols: How come it worked perfectly before? In my experience, Ubuntu is as stable as Windows XP.
[22:42] <Agiofws> please insert the disk labeled: ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - release i386 (20071016) in drive /cdrom/
[22:42] <wols> Agiofws: then do what it says?
[22:42] <Hilikus> bruenig well, rsync will pipe the differences, then its up to the burning softaware
[22:42] <Agiofws> she has  wols
[22:43] <kane77> Agiofws, just edit the /etc/apt/sources.list and comment the entry for cd...
[22:43] <bruenig> Hilikus, I mean you would need to mount the disk and then somehow use rsync to compare the mounted files and then be able to surmise what has changed and then burn it again, the problem is that you won't just be appending files you will need to edit files, so it would require a complete remaster each time
[22:43] <frost0> kitofhawaii, thx for your help.
[22:43] <brett_h> BarryToeman: it's the same, all the other fonts are the same size just window title bars are huge
[22:43] <Hilikus> but i do want to keep all the previous sessions, so i would burn to like separate folders i guess
[22:43] <zechs> kane77 I have an installer on a cd, when i click it it wants to run in terminal, but it opens a new terminal and i dont have a chance to su, but i need to for setting the directory to install in
[22:43] <Agiofws> kane77,  comment or uncomment ?
[22:43] <kazol> wols: I have: UUID=0CF41F361887E334 /media/sda1     ntfs    defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[22:44] <kane77> Agiofws, comment
[22:44] <Hilikus> bruenig mmm i see what you mean
[22:44] <bruenig> Hilikus, rsync itself will be useless except if it can provide some sort of comparison of the state of the files, then you will need to be able to parse that comparison and tell growisofs exactly what to do with it
[22:44] <Kopfgeldjaeger> n8
[22:44] <bruenig> Hilikus, like if there is some rsync flag that just tells you what it would do that you could read with a script or something to then tell growisofs what to do
[22:44] <wols> kazol: there are errors. what are they?
[22:45] <BarryToeman> brett_h: are the fonts normal when compiz is off or disabled?
[22:45] <Undead_Zeus> How do I make my microphone's input louder??
[22:45] <kazol> wols: Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use.
[22:45] <pythondasnake> I suppose:   Guided= use the largest continuous free space ??
[22:45] <jobu1543> kk, got the printer installed with cups; awesome (& thanks):  how do yo print from the tty?
[22:45] <kane77> zechs, why don't you open a terminal go to cd and run it?
[22:45] <wols> jobu1543: man lpr
[22:45] <jobu1543> thanks wols!
[22:45] <bruenig> Hilikus, why don't you just get a small drive and use that
[22:45] <pythondasnake> Undead_Zeus is there a booster
[22:45] <Undead_Zeus> I don't know
[22:45] <brett_h> BarryToeman: Actually disabling compiz and coming back now the fonts are fine... I guess they change when I reboot, not sure, hmph
[22:45] <zechs> kane77 how do you 'run it'
[22:46] <Hilikus> bruenig use what
[22:46] <aBound> pythonasnake: Guided uses the entire HDD
[22:46] <bruenig> Hilikus, get a small drive and use rsync
[22:46] <BarryToeman> brett_h: i had this issue too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/141001/comments/14
[22:46] <pythondasnake> aBound but is says continuopus free space?  If xp is not on free space that doesn't sound right?
[22:46] <kane77> zechs, when you are in the directory just type ./<filename> (replace filename with filename you want to run
[22:46] <eses> !wine
[22:46] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[22:46] <aBound> pythonasnake: Probably means unallocated space
[22:46] <zechs> kane 77 ahhh cool ok it works thx!
[22:46] <pythondasnake> mmm
[22:46] <kane77> zechs, np...
[22:47] <pythondasnake> Well, now I'm a bit nervous.. I don't want to delete any partitions by mistake
[22:47] <kane77> zechs, there usually isn't need to log in as root...
[22:47] <pythondasnake> Manual ?
[22:47] <aBound> pythonasnake: Unallocated space is free space on partitions
[22:47] <BarryToeman> brett_h: or add "-dpi 96" to >login window>security>configure Xserver>command line
[22:47] <soundray> aBound: no, it isn't
[22:47] <aBound> pythonasnake: Can't blame ya
[22:48] <aBound> soundray: Unallocated space is usually free space am I not right?
[22:48] <zechs> kane77 the need was for making the install directory in /usr i think
[22:48] <soundray> aBound: no
[22:48] <pythondasnake> I'm not sure.. I'll take your word for it but I would think it's unpartitioned space
[22:48] <kane77> zechs, yes, but I meant to log into gnome as root...
[22:48] <aBound> soundray: then you tell me what exactly it means
[22:49] <jelousbuddy> irc://irc.dingalingz.net/misfits
[22:49] <soundray> pythondasnake: you've got it right. What are you trying to do -- resize your Windows partition?
[22:49] <Undead_Zeus> How do I boost volume for my input device?
[22:49] <pike_> pythondasnake: worst case scenario you lose everything. we always need bug reports
[22:49] <pythondasnake> haha pike
[22:49] <pythondasnake> soundray Yes.. Unless it does this for you..
[22:50] <pythondasnake> I probably want atleast 120 GB I would think
[22:50] <aBound> soundray: As far as I know Unallocated space is just a partition that's empty
[22:50] <Undead_Zeus> How do I boost volume for an input device?

[22:51] <masteroc> hey guys, i cant read any cd's from my cd drive, but ubutu shows that it is there, and i can burn cd's with it
[22:51] <pythondasnake> If I do it myself.. Where would I do that? BIOS ?
[22:51] <Undead_Zeus> How do I boost volume of an input device??
[22:52] <lauriexxx> help, can anyone guide me through upgrading from feisty fawn, to the new gutsy gibbon,I can't seem to do it via update manager, anybody got a good old command line???
[22:52] <pythondasnake> Undead_Zeus you're no boosting the volume.. I think your tunning the IMPEDence levels for a mic.. I would go to the source of your mic
[22:52] <jpolonia> hello , i would like to know , if i can find a kernel for ubuntu 7.10 for i686
[22:52] <jpolonia> hello , i would like to know , if i can find a kernel for ubuntu 7.10 for i686
[22:52] <Undead_Zeus> pythondasnake: How do I do that?
[22:53] <Chousuke> jpolonia: you should use the generic kernel
[22:53] <pythondasnake> To tell you the truth Undead_Zeus I have been using XP for so long I don't know using UBUNTU.. I would check your sound card where ever that i located and it normally would just have an option to boost
[22:53] <masteroc> why cant i read any cd's or dvd's from my drive, but i can still burn it
[22:53] <pythondasnake> I have been using UBUNTU for about 3 minutes :)
[22:53] <brett_h> BarryToeman: thanks
[22:54] <pythondasnake> Here I'll look for you Undead_zeus
[22:54] <jpolonia> the happend is , i have a laptop with amd64
[22:54] <jpolonia> the happend is , i have a laptop with amd64
[22:54] <aBound> pythonasnake: hehe you'll eventually get used to it
[22:54] <Undead_Zeus> thanks pythondasnake
[22:54] <Gekone> Buonanotte a tutti.
[22:54] <kbrooks> pythondasnake, (we know what you mean, but...) capitalizing names creates a mental nightmare when you read channel logs. also, it's unnecessary.
[22:54] <jpolonia> and ubuntu 7.10 is so slowly
[22:54] <jpolonia> and ubuntu 7.10 is so slowly
[22:55] <Agiofws> kane77,   apt-get install build-essential does not fiond the package on the cd
[22:55] <Agiofws> so the only way is net ?
[22:55] <delfos> hi, got a simple question, how could I or what should I write to keep using a console after executing 'sudo gedit', i mean keep the program openned and continue writing more commands in the same console?
[22:55] <Chousuke> jpolonia: your lines appear twice for some reason
[22:55] <aBound> jpolonia: wanting to find a kernel that supposedly supports 64-Bit?
[22:55] <pythondasnake> sorry
[22:55] <aLeSD> hi all
[22:55] <Chousuke> jpolonia: anyway, getting a i686 kernel isn't going to fix the slowness
[22:55] <Chousuke> an*
[22:55] <kane77> Agiofws, you wanted to install it from the cd?
[22:55] <aLeSD> how can I install mac4lin in the 7.10 ?
[22:55] <michael11> no ones on the xubuntu channel = (
[22:55] <aLeSD> I can't find the package in the repository
[22:56] <kbrooks> pythondasnake, no need to apologize a lot ;-) just type ubuntu, or Ubuntu
[22:56] <Agiofws> yes
[22:56] <Agiofws> kane77,
[22:56] <michael11> can anyone here me?
[22:56] <jpolonia> I need a kernel i686
[22:56] <Jack_Sparrow> I installed gutsy on a dell c610, setup the video and got desktop effects (all) working fine.  then after the update, I get no effects, xorg is still showing correct refresh rates etc.. any ideas
[22:56] <inzeo> micahel11: yes we here ya
[22:56] <kbrooks> pythondasnake, and i meant to say "capitalizing each letter of a name"
[22:56] <Cpudan80> michael11: Gotta ask your question first
[22:56] <inzeo> michael11: yes
[22:56] <kane77> Agiofws, sorry I misread then.. uncomment the line :)
[22:56] <Chousuke> jpolonia: again, why?
[22:56] <noname6243> What is the best way to to test for faulty memory
[22:56] <aBound> aLeSD: I think it has to be manually installed from a .tar package
[22:56] <mathen_> I managed to install a 'theme' for Ubuntu which I don't want, how do I reset to default?
[22:56] <void^> jpolonia: no you don't. focus on finding the real issue.
[22:56] <kane77> noname6243, mem86
[22:56] <inzeo> noname6243: have you tried the memory test off the live Ubuntu cd?
[22:56] <Cpudan80> noname6243: memtest86+, its one of the boot choices from grub
[22:56] <Agiofws> arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
[22:56] <aLeSD> aBound: ah :(
[22:57] <michael11> i have gusty gibbon xubuntu on a comp with random parts and i need to figure out how to get youtube to come in a better fps
[22:57] <pythondasnake> Looks like it's under system Undead_Zeus
[22:57] <aBound> aLeSD: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin/ << Mac4Lin
[22:57] <mathen_> How do you reset all visual effects (themes, boarders, icons etc) to default?
[22:57] <Undead_Zeus> Thanks, pythondasnake :)
[22:57] <aLeSD> aBound: ok
[22:57] <noname6243> sorry X just crashed
[22:57] <soundray_> pythondasnake: sorry, I missed a bit -- how are you getting on?
[22:57] <aetos> .
[22:57] <noname6243> what did you say
[22:57] <aBound> aLeSD: Unless you can find a script to automatically install it for you
[22:57] <noname6243> lol
[22:57] <Undead_Zeus> pythondasnake: I am not sure that helps... but thanks anyways
[22:57] <kbrooks> michael11, may i do some computing education?
[22:57] <jpolonia> your think the kernel, it'ns the problem?
[22:57] <wols> michael11: what flash version and what videocard driver?
[22:57] <noname6243> What was the best way to test for faulty memory?
[22:57] <pythondasnake> System>>preferences Undead_Zeus
[22:57] <inzeo> mathen_: if you go to System - Preferences - Appearance - just select the Human theme
[22:57] <wols> noname6243: memtest
[22:57] <inzeo> mathen_: that should be the default theme
[22:58] <pythondasnake> soundray oh I just burned an iso image and am running off that..
[22:58] <mathen_> The border (at the top) still has the "Orange theme" and it's size 32
[22:58] <Chousuke> jpolonia: most likely it isn't.
[22:58] <michael11> i have xubuntu latest version i have installed flash player 9 for it and i need to figure out how to get the videos in a faster fps it is extremely slow fps and the frames don't keep up with the sounds
[22:58] <inzeo> mathen_: did you change the fonts?
[22:58] <Undead_Zeus> pythondasnake: i have already been to volume control, and turned up my microphone input, or at least i thought i have. no better results
[22:58] <aBound> jpolonia: When you installed Ubuntu did you download the 32-Bit version or 64-Bit version
[22:58] <inzeo> mathen_: the default font is serif i believe
[22:58] <jpolonia> what could it be?
[22:58] <noname6243> how can I fix : Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/universe memtester 2.93.1-3.1
[22:58] <noname6243>   Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)?
[22:58] <mathen_> There's a huge "Firefox" icon insted of the normal one..
[22:58] <jpolonia> 64 bit version
[22:58] <mathen_> which refuse me to change the size to lower then 32
[22:58] <pythondasnake> Undead_Zeus: I am looking
[22:58] <Jack_Sparrow> michael11: have you configed not only your video card but your monitor sync rates in your xorg
[22:59] <michael11> xorg? no i don't think so
[22:59] <inzeo> mathen_: is the firefox icon located in the panel?
[22:59] <aBound> jpolnia: Ubuntu still slow hmmm could be the many packages installed or just assuming a kernel issue
[22:59] <michael11> how do i do so Jack_Sparrow?
[22:59] <wols> Jack_Sparrow: how do sync rates slow down video? not as if there is any sync lower than 25fps...
[22:59] <Agiofws> http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=olivesta1.jpg
[22:59] <mathen_> It is inzeo right to the Program
[22:59] <mathen_> If I click it, I get into the Program menu
[22:59] <Agiofws> kane77,  thanks though
[22:59] <inzeo> mathen: if you right click on the panel, what is the panel size?
[22:59] <michael11> how do i sync my moniter and video card?
[23:00] <mathen_> 23
[23:00] <wols> michael11: what videodriver do you use?
[23:00] <inzeo> mathen: hmm, not sure....
[23:00] <soundray_> pythondasnake: if you select a disk to install to and click Next, you'll get to choose a resize option.
[23:00] <michael11> i use a nvida one i don't know
[23:00] <jpolonia> aBound: 64 bit version
[23:00] <Chousuke> jpolonia: if you have 64-bit ubuntu installed and it's slow, try installing the i386 version
[23:00] <Ildjarn> kane77: I installed the one from the hp website and it still doesnt work
[23:00] <Jack_Sparrow> wols: If your card and monitor are not setup right they slow everything down
[23:00] <Chousuke> jpolonia: for most users, it's the safer choice.
[23:00] <gonnaeatthat> I need help with nvidia drivers, when i load them max screen res I can get is 800x600
[23:00] <wols> Jack_Sparrow: a monitgor never slows down a PC duh!
[23:00] <wols> gonnaeatthat: pastebin your xorg logs
[23:00] <pythondasnake> soundray: Well I made it that far and then was instructed I didn't have space.. I was confused because I figure there is no way I'm using all 500 GB with xp ?
[23:01] <gonnaeatthat> okay
[23:01] <Jack_Sparrow> wols: It effects what you see... duh
[23:01] <Ildjarn> kane77: When I did sudo ndiswrapper -m, it said module configuration already contains alias directive
[23:01] <gonnaeatthat> my xorg.conf?
[23:01] <michael11> wols: i use a Nvida driver i do not know witch one but how do i get it to sync?
[23:01] <wols> Jack_Sparrow: do you have a monitor that can display at a lower fps than 25?
[23:01] <mathen_> If I kill the entire panel, hwo dO I get it back.. . inzeo
[23:01] <Jack_Sparrow> wols: Clueless
[23:01] <wols> Jack_Sparrow: I know you are. please answer my question
[23:01] <inzeo> mathen_: i'm not sure
[23:02] <Jack_Sparrow> wols: Please joion me in ubuntu-ops if you want to diccuss it
[23:02] <kane77> Ildjarn, it's pretty tricky with these cards.. my friend has the same wireless, and for him it only works if both modules (ndiswrapper and bcm43xx) are enabled...
[23:02] <soundray_> pythondasnake: you shouldn't click on "Use largest continuous free space" if your partition covers your entire disk (even if it has free space)
[23:02] <michael11> i think i figured out why my fps was crappy
[23:02] <Ildjarn> kane77: I tried with both enabled, and with bcm43xx disabled
[23:02] <pythondasnake> Well I clicked Manual
[23:02] <wols> Jack_Sparrow: it's a ubuntu support question, not a ops question. calling others clueless might be a ubuntu-ops related matter I dunno, tho
[23:03] <Jack_Sparrow> wols: If you do not have your hardware setup correctly... you will not get the fps you hope for
[23:03] <Jordan_U> Ildjarn, What chipset do you have exactly?
[23:03] <jpolonia> i dosen't matter i have amd turion x2?
[23:03] <kbrooks> does anyone here want a computing lesson? :-)
[23:03] <AgentHeX> any idea why i sometimes get a black screen when a window opens fullscreen in compiz?
[23:03] <soundray_> pythondasnake: you shouldn't click that either. Only select the target hard disk drive.
[23:03] <Ildjarn> Jordan_U: BCM94311MCG mini PCI
[23:03] <Agiofws> http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lottiahf1.jpg http://img337.imageshack.us/my.php?image=3sheetspe4.jpg http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=olivesta1.jpg
[23:03] <daco> not a ubuntu specific question but i seem lost in all net howtos. All I want to do is direct connection between linux and win98. Anybody free to guide me trough?
[23:03] <Jordan_U> AgentHeX, Nvidia card?
[23:03] <wols> Jack_Sparrow: the question is how the monitor influences the fps. it cannot. it has no bearing on berformance. it has bearing on framerate, on resolution, etc. but not on "speed" of the PC
[23:03] <AgentHeX> yeah.  actually, not so much a black screen as it is a black window
[23:03] <pythondasnake> soundray I'm reluctant to re-partition the drive because to be honest I have never done it before and don't want to experiment and end up losing valuables..
[23:04] <pythondasnake> I didn't see multiple partitions as an option
[23:04] <wols> pythondasnake: backup. and you will need to have some free unparititioned space for ubuntu ot install
[23:04] <pythondasnake> Yeah..
[23:04] <soundray_> pythondasnake: data you haven't backed up is data you don't want
[23:04] <aBound> pythonasnake: I can suggest that to partition your HDD you can download partedmagic or gparted burn them to a disc and then partition the HDD from there
[23:04] <Jordan_U> pythondasnake, You can also use wubi, but it's still Beta IIRC
[23:05] <Jordan_U> !wubi | pythondasnake
[23:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi
[23:05] <ubotu> pythondasnake: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[23:05] <jpolonia> i dosen't matter i have amd turion x2?
[23:05] <pythondasnake> I'll check it out thanks
[23:05] <cysmtz> /fsdf
[23:05] <waseem> hey, does anyone know how to connect a usb controller to ubuntu?
[23:05] <kbrooks> pythondasnake, read the factoid carefully. UNOFFICIAL
[23:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U: wubi is not a good idea...  it can trash your ntfs
[23:05] <void^> wols: it can have an effect if you use vsync, or things like compiz that (try to) fix their framerate to the monitor's refresh rate by default
[23:05] <wols> Associat0r: ubuntu should support pretty much all usb controllers. what is the issue?
[23:05] <Jordan_U> Jack_Sparrow, How?
[23:06] <soundray_> wols: don't confuse. pythondasnake would be best served by the auto-resize function, which would create the needed free space by resizing.
[23:06] <mathen_> How do I reset all visual effects (border at the top "Program, System, etc") and icons at desktop and textformat and all such. I managed to install a theme which I can't get rid of. Please help me, quite new to ubuntu.
[23:06] <kbrooks> pythondasnake, you will receive no support for wubi here. maybe for the individual applications, but not for wubi itself.
[23:06] <wols> void^: but not slow down video playback. cause the framerate cannot go lower than 25 fps...
[23:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U: Let me see if I can find the link.. but you are running linux on an ntfs system.. not ext3..
[23:06] <pythondasnake> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-78155.html  Undead_Zeus: hope this helps??
[23:06] <kbrooks> Jack_Sparrow, so?
[23:06] <waseem> well i connected the usb controller but dont know how to check if it is working
[23:06] <Jordan_U> Jack_Sparrow, I know how wubi works
[23:07] <matute> hi!!!
[23:07] <aBound> I used Wubi before tried it once didn't boot my machine up after a successful install
[23:07] <waseem> i tried in gxmame but it doesnt respond so im guessing its not working
[23:07] <wols> waseem: usb controllers can't be "connected": they are built into your mobo. you mean a usb device. which device?
[23:07] <void^> wols: oh, i've seen some really ugly configuration failures on compiz systems. but yes, it shouldn't affect X clients, just what the user gets to see.
[23:07] <waseem> a usb gaming pad
[23:07] <Jordan_U> aBound, Were you at least still able to boot Windows or did it completely screw up ntldr?
[23:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U: I dont have the link in this pc...  but it was quite clear .. I googled up wubi problems and the list is endless.. all types of issues
[23:08] <aBound> Jordan_U: Wasn't able to boot Windows or Ubuntu
[23:08] <Associat0r> wols?
[23:08] <Ildjarn> So, anyone knows how to fix it?
[23:09] <enigmata> I need some help getting my audio to work in gutsy. I already tried troubleshooting at ubuntu forums.
[23:09] <enigmata> any suggestions
[23:09] <enigmata> ?\
[23:09] <soundray_> Ildjarn: fix what?
[23:09] <IamReck> enigmata, double click on the sound icon
[23:09] <Jordan_U> aBound, You should file a bug if you havn't already, wubi is supposed to be the "safer" way because it does not require repartitioning, that it screwed up ntldr is unacceptable ( and should be easily avoidable )
[23:09] <Loaxes> I hate myself and I want to die: I've been going at trying to get my laptop to dual boot for a week, I finally give up, and a week later, just now, after weeks of not touching it, I boot it up, and it gives me the option to dual boot.
[23:10] <Ildjarn> soundray_: I can't get my wireless to work
[23:10] <mathen_> I installed this theme, http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/3, it says I have to uninstall it manually. How do I do that?
[23:10] <Ildjarn> soundray-: When I did sudo ndiswrapper -m, it said module configuration already contains alias directive
[23:10] <IamReck> enigmata, unmute everything and turn it  up to full volume
[23:10] <aBound> Jordan_U: they probably fixed it though seeing as I did this a while back like a couple of months back
[23:10] <riddareralf> I accidentally removed my ~/config folder, what did I delete?
[23:10] <belkorin> Hey, does anyone know how I can set up my computer so that it shares internet that is coming in on the ethernet port over an ad-hoc wireless network?
 already did it
[23:10] <RichiH> !find wx-config
[23:10] <unop> riddareralf, ~/config or ~/.config ?
[23:10] <josspyker> belkorin:use firestarter
[23:10] <ubotu> Package/file wx-config does not exist in gutsy
[23:10] <aBound> Jordan_U: also seeing as Wubi is in Beta that's most likely the cause of the issue hehe
[23:11] <soundray_> Ildjarn: have you tried using a native driver?
[23:11] <Mo0oSaH> riddareralf you deleted all the configurations that you might have setup for certain programs
[23:11] <Ildjarn> soundray_: Yes. It installs fine, but doesn't find my wireless network
[23:11] <Jordan_U> aBound, What exactly happened, did you see a boot menu at all when you started the computer?
[23:11] <soundray_> Ildjarn: which one is it?
[23:11] <IamReck> enigmata, dunno what to tell you.  Are you sure all of your hardware is set up right?  speakers turned up and plugged in? etc.?
[23:11] <riotkittie> lulz. the unfunny one /msg'ed me with  a lame command to delete /
[23:11] <Ildjarn> soundray-: BCM94311MCG mini PCI
[23:11] <mathen_> Anyone have any idea?, please!
[23:12] <aBound> Jordan_U: The grub menu came up and I hit enter on Ubuntu then it just went black and stayed there
[23:12] <gonnaeatthat> who was the guy helping on nvidia issues?
[23:12] <riotkittie> errr wrong channel. ;x
[23:12] <riddareralf> unop, Mo0oSaH: I deleted the ~/config folder
 I also already set it to ALSA. I think its a driver issue. I'm running 82801h (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller
[23:12] <gonnaeatthat> I figured mine out had to change my screen properties to generic and set resolution that way, rather than use the model/serial
[23:12] <soundray_> Ildjarn: I think you should try the fwcutter approach
[23:12] <aBound> like it was stalling
[23:12] <IamReck> can't help you
[23:12] <riddareralf> were going to remove .cedega but it froze so I pressed twice and .config went also
[23:12] <Jordan_U> aBound, Did you use the wubi from the Ubuntu 7.10 install CD?
[23:12] <aBound> or waiting for something to load apparently didn't want to boot
[23:13] <belkorin> josspyker, do i have to have it start the firewall for the connection sharing to work?
[23:13] <unop> riddareralf, ~/config is not something i recognise -- it might be a folder for user configurations for programs you have installed -- in otherwords, all customizations you have made to applications have disappeared
[23:13] <waseem> Wols you there
[23:13] <Jack_Sparrow> soundray_: this might help him/her  http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/
[23:13] <josspyker> belkorin:yes
[23:13] <aBound> Jordan_U: never knew Wubi was on the Ubuntu 7.10 LiveCD/Install CD
[23:13] <belkorin> ok
[23:13] <riddareralf> unop: I meant ~/.config ofcourse
[23:13] <crdlb> riddareralf: you mean ~/.config ?
[23:13] <mathen_> I installed this theme, http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/3, it says I have to uninstall it manually. How do I do that?
[23:13] <riddareralf> yes
[23:13] <soundray_> Jack_Sparrow: thank you. Did you see that, Ildjarn ^^?
[23:13] <unop> riddareralf, same same
[23:13] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[23:13] <riddareralf> unop: alright
[23:13] <aBound> Jordan_U: Was on Windows XP Home downloaded Wubi installed it from there rebooted tried to load Ubuntu screen went black
[23:14] <crdlb> oops scrolled up
[23:14] <Jordan_U> aBound, It's not really full Wubi, it just let's you boot from the install CD without changing any BIOS settings
[23:14] <josspyker> belkorin:it works for me,but I share interconnection wireless to eth
[23:14] <soundray_> Ildjarn: there is also a forums thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920 (I don't know how good it is)

[23:14] <bosco> i have a question about wifi in ubuntu
[23:14] <belkorin> josspyker, would the local network connected device be the wireless card that I'm trying to share over?

[23:15] <unop> hi
[23:15] <Jordan_U> enigmata, Is this a new problem or has sound never worked on this computer with Ubuntu?

[23:15] <wols> insp12: they don't support compiz (no aiglx support)
[23:15] <bosco> i am using an atheros wireless card in my laptop i have downloaded the windows drivers and tried to set it up via ndisgtk it does not work i then installed mad-wifi and it still does not work any help
[23:15] <insp12> wols: but now im also getting the Mesa thing that I keep reading about when I do the fglrxinfo
[23:16] <josspyker> belkorin:share the card which is connected to the internet
[23:16] <Jordan_U> wols, They do now, though very poorly
[23:16] <aBound> Well I'm off guys take it easy :-)
[23:16] <wols> insp12: then your fglrx drivers are not configured correctly either
[23:16] <crdlb> wols: technically the problem is that they don't support texture_from_pixmap. AIGLX is just a means to that end :)
[23:16] <insp12> The cube works, kind of, its 2 panels but they rotate and have reflection
 Hasn't worked since I installed Gutsy
[23:16] <wols> Jordan_U: they have drivers new enough for it in gutsy?
[23:17] <bosco> i am using an atheros wireless card in my laptop i have downloaded the windows drivers and tried to set it up via ndisgtk it does not work i then installed mad-wifi and it still does not work any help
[23:17] <insp12> wols: should I reinstall the ones from the ATi site?
[23:17] <belkorin> josspyker: so if eth0 is my ethernet card, and eth1 is my wireless card, i should have both internet connected network device and local network connected device set to eth0?
[23:17] <waseem> my usb game pads are showin up in device manager but dont respond in gxmame (a game)
 I'm running 82801h (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller
[23:17] <Jordan_U> enigmata, wols The AIGLX compatible drivers were released after Gutsy, but I do *not* recommend upgrading to the newer drivers, they are buggy.
[23:17] <wols> insp12: they aren't supported
[23:17] <crdlb> insp12: oh it's working fine then
[23:17] <josspyker> belkorin:thats the idea
[23:17] <insp12> but there is a white screen instead of the windows
[23:17] <gonnaeatthat> bosco you have the nm-applet installed?
[23:18] <crdlb> insp12: just change General Options>Desktop Size>Horizontal Virtual Size in ccsm
[23:18] <crdlb> oh
[23:18] <Jordan_U> enigmata, Is everything turned up and unmuted in alsamixer?
[23:18] <wols> Jordan_U: hence: no compiz with fglrx. except with xgl, but lets not go there please
 Some noise is better than none...
[23:18] <gonnaeatthat> also bosco did you hit the function key related to wifi?
 Some noise is better than none...
[23:18] <insp12> ! that sounds pretty good, brb
[23:18] <dis4ever> sometimes i got disconnected (wireless). any ideas
[23:18] <bosco> gonnaeatthat:  nm-applet  explain
 All systems are loud.
[23:18] <josspyker> belkorin:it works for me the other way around,wireless internet to eth0
[23:18] <dis4ever> what is the best binary news reader
[23:18] <talcite> hey guys, I'm having a problem starting ubuntu server
[23:18] <gonnaeatthat> bosco it is necessary to get wireless to work with some cards hold on let me see the real name
[23:19] <talcite> it's stuck on loading rc.local scripts
[23:19] <telexicon> How can I tell ubuntu to load a framebuffer driver on boot? I want to use vga=791 but all it lets me use are the simple vga console resolutions instead of vesafb ones
[23:19] <insp12> crdlb: what should I change it to?
[23:19] <IamReck> enigmata, idk what to tell you, can't help sry.
[23:19] <insp12> crdlb: its at 2 right now
[23:19] <wols> talcite: what did you put in rc.local then?
 How do I get those buggy drivers installed?
[23:19] <talcite> wols: absolutely nothing
[23:19] <talcite> wols: I checked it, it just says return 0
[23:19] <crdlb> insp12: 4, but if you have white windows then your problem is not just that
[23:19] <soundray_> talcite: can you boot in recovery mode?
[23:19] <belkorin> josspyker: so what do I do now to make the ad-hoc network?
[23:19] <unop> telexicon, have you tried reconfiguring the xserver ?
[23:19] <IamReck> enigmata, i do not know. google your hardware and linux driver.
[23:19] <wols> talcite: then it does this and returns immediately
[23:19] <talcite> soundray_: lemme try
[23:19] <gonnaeatthat> bosco you have wifi enabled?
[23:20] <IamReck> thats as far as I can help you.
[23:20] <telexicon> unop, no this is for the console.. i dont have X installed (ubuntu-server)
[23:20] <enigmata> Hold on..
[23:20] <gonnaeatthat> this is just to start from the beginng
[23:20] <teknoprep> hey all
[23:20] <pythondasnake> Partition magic looks easy enough ..
[23:20] <bosco> gonnaeatthat: yes
[23:20] <insp12> crdlb: yeah its not just that sadly, but it sounded like a good tip, thanks! any other possibilities?
[23:20] <pythondasnake> Anyone ever use this?
[23:20] <teknoprep> whats up with this... i updated ubuntu ... and now it won't hibernate anymore?
[23:20] <telexicon> unop, it just says undefined video number
[23:20] <teknoprep> wtf
[23:20] <soundray_> pythondasnake: dangerous, though. Have you backed up?
[23:20] <bascule> telexicon: it seems you need to recompile a kernel to do this, console switching to and from X gets problematic with vesafb
[23:20] <dis4ever> what is best newsreader please
[23:20] <insp12> is Envy worth trying again, or will it mess up the xorg.conf?
[23:20] <gonnaeatthat> you have a function key on the laptop? and just making sure if you hit the fn /wifi key if light will come on
[23:20] <bosco> gonnaeatthat: now when i type in sudo modprobe ndiswrapper it says module not found unlike before
[23:20] <pythondasnake> soundray: semi :p
[23:20] <soundray_> teknoprep: don't use this abbreviation here please
[23:21] <teknoprep> soundray_, is that the best advice you can offer?
[23:21] <teknoprep> soundray_, heh
[23:21] <gonnaeatthat> go to system->admin->network
[23:21] <wols> bosco: what atheros chip is it? madwifi is usually better to use than ndiswrapper
[23:21] <IamReck> enigmata, have you done all of the following things?
[23:21] <telexicon> bascule, hmm ok.. i guess ill just deal with it remotely
[23:21] <IamReck> !sound
[23:21] <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
[23:21] <pythondasnake> Yeah I have a lot of code saved on xp and if I lost it I would probably commit suicide
[23:21] <josspyker> belkorin:just try
[23:21] <teknoprep> !hibernate
[23:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:21] <gonnaeatthat> check if roaming mode is enabled or if you even have wifi listed
[23:21] <talcite> soundray_: it has no problem booting into recovery mode
[23:21] <Chousuke> pythondasnake: so is it backed up?
[23:21] <talcite> soundray_: but I have no idea why it's not booting into normal mode...
[23:21] <talcite> soundray_: any ideas?
[23:21] <pythondasnake> For the most part
[23:21] <teknoprep> pythondasnake, back it up to a flash drive or external hdd
[23:22] <bosco> gonnaeatthat:  05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[23:22] <teknoprep> pythondasnake, if you need to code in windows why not just use vmware server with a windows xp running in it ?
[23:22] <pythondasnake> Yeah.. I suppose you make good points
[23:22] <teknoprep> pythondasnake, on your ubuntu destkop ?
[23:22] <belkorin> josspyker: so go to "create wireless network" on the nm-applet?
[23:22] <wols> talcite: what other S99 scripts are there?
[23:22] <talcite> wols: S99?
[23:22] <soundray_> talcite: while in recovery mode, have a look at /var/log/syslog and see if you find any entries relating to the failed boot
[23:22] <ikonia> Do we have anyone in here with a non-flash enabled ubuntu 7.10 desktop. I'd like someone to install the flash-nonfree plugin package from the command line to verify the md5sum contained in the ubuntu meta package
[23:22] <wols> talcite:yes
[23:22] <gonnaeatthat> bosco you network manager installed
[23:22] <teknoprep> non-flash ?
[23:22] <Jordan_U> pythondasnake, Anything that important to you should be backed up anyway, what if your HDD dies tomorrow?
[23:22] <gonnaeatthat> it should work you may need network manager
[23:22] <kitofhawaii> pythondasnake: $99 for a usb hard drive is cheap insurance :)
[23:23] <bosco> gonnaeatthat: yes
[23:23] <teknoprep> wt heck is non-flash enabled?
[23:23] <wols> teknoprep: someone who hasn't flash installed right now
[23:23] <josspyker> belkorin:give it a try
[23:23] <insp12> has anyone gotten compiz to run on an ATI X card?
[23:23] <pythondasnake> Yeah Like I said with the exception of some small applications everything is backed up on disks
[23:23] <teknoprep> oh adobe flash
[23:23] <insp12> I have seen some videos on youtube that show it is possible
[23:23] <wols> insp12: what ati chip do you have?
[23:23] <insp12> x1300
[23:23] <pythondasnake> Coding through vitual server might be slow:P
[23:23] <wols> insp12: not really
[23:23] <belkorin> josspyker: no good, that disconnects me from eth0
[23:23] <pythondasnake> To answer whoever said that's question
[23:24] <teknoprep> ikonia, ok here is what you need to do
[23:24] <gonnaeatthat> you have ths trength signal in your toolbar?
[23:24] <mikebeecham> Hi Guys....I have recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 and have just tried my IPOD nano on it for the first time....for some reason I can delete tracks off it...but when I go to add tracks Rhythmbox tells me that there is no space left?
[23:24] <insp12> wols: i have seen that its supported, at least on teh youtube "show off my linux" videos
[23:24] <ikonia> teknoprep: pardon ?
[23:24] <teknoprep> ikonia, the tar.gz files gets saved to a temporary location after you try to apt-get it
[23:24] <wols> insp12: it is not
[23:24] <ikonia> teknoprep: yes, I'm aware of what happens in the install thanks.
[23:24] <soundray_> pythondasnake: don't use partition magic. Your best chance of ending up with a working dual-boot system is if you let Ubuntu resize your Windows partition. Follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
[23:24] <wols> insp12: you can try with xserver-xgl. good luck, you will need it
[23:24] <josspyker> belkorin:try to find the wireless connection on the other computer?
[23:24] <gonnaeatthat> how can i enter someones name prior to my response my xchat doesnt seem to want to
[23:25] <teknoprep> ikonia, then do this... cd /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree
[23:25] <mikebeecham> Would anyone have experience with Rhythmbox and Ipod's?
[23:25] <belkorin> josspkyer: definitly disconnects me
[23:25] <mikebeecham> do I need to reformat?
[23:25] <insp12> man, its been such a fight, I can't believe there are no leads. I feel like its so close, I fought with xservers and all that during the week
[23:25] <teknoprep> ikonia, then do this ... tar xvzf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[23:25] <inzeo> mikebeecham: i've used an ipod with rhythmbox before
[23:25] <bosco> gonnaeatthat: so what do i do now lol
[23:25] <insp12> and now I finally have the "restricted" drivers running
[23:25] <kitofhawaii> pythondasnake: it can be slow, but it depends. generally when running it in a vm environment, people trim down the OS anyway, so it winds up running comparably to the bloat they'd run if it were a fully installed desktop
[23:25] <talcite> soundray_: it's really weird... It just stops at the cron jobs, after the NTP sever exits
[23:25] <insp12> and at a pretty high res
[23:25] <ikonia> teknoprep: what are you telling me to do ?
[23:25] <gonnaeatthat> bosco you have signal strength in toolbar?
[23:25] <ikonia> teknoprep: I'm aware of how the flash plugin works
[23:25] <insp12> but this white screen wont let me see anything
[23:25] <gonnaeatthat> or a networking icon?
[23:25] <teknoprep> ikonia, oh nvm then
[23:25] <talcite> soundray_: and it has a bunch of messages about IPtables blocking packets
[23:25] <bosco> gonnaeatthat: no not at all
[23:25] <soundray_> talcite: is it a fresh install?
[23:25] <mikebeecham> inzeo...it's almost as though it did delete the tracks, but they are still on there...the error message I get is "Error Transferring Track.  No space left of the resourc"
[23:26] <gonnaeatthat> okay reinstall network manager
[23:26] <teknoprep> ikonia, do you know why hibernate isn't owrking after i update ?
[23:26] <ikonia> teknoprep: I'm asking someone to attempt to install it via the command line to verfiy the md5 sum of the package it downloads
[23:26] <gonnaeatthat> applications add/remove programs
[23:26] <teknoprep> oh ok
[23:26] <gonnaeatthat> find it that way
[23:26] <ikonia> teknoprep: why would I know that, you've told me nothing about your problem
[23:26] <bosco> gonnaeatthat: ok doking that now
[23:26] <teknoprep> ikonia, did you fix it i suppose?
[23:26] <gonnaeatthat> see if it loads
[23:26] <talcite> soundray_: well "fresh" yes, but it's been awhile since I've booted it up
[23:26] <belkorin> josspkyer: when I connect to a wireless network, it disconnects me from the wired network
[23:26] <ikonia> teknoprep: did I fix it ? did I fix that ?
[23:26] <ikonia> what
[23:26] <josspyker> belkorin,it works for me,but only sharing ra0 (wireless connected to the router) eth0 to an old laptop
[23:26] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: there may be a trash folder on your "Device"  now...
[23:26] <waseem> has anyone here used gxmame before?
[23:26] <talcite> soundray_: almost 2 months actually
[23:26] <kitofhawaii> pythondasnake: i.e., i find people use about 1/4 or less of the features in the vm environment so it all equals out
[23:26] <pythondasnake> Maybe I will just put together a machine and have it be 100 percent Ubuntu :p..
[23:26] <teknoprep> ikonia, well hibernate was working at fresh install 100% ok... now hibernating doesn't work at all... after i did the ubuntu updates
[23:26] <soundray_> talcite: did you do anything to configure iptables?
[23:26] <teknoprep> ikonia, i didn't change anything.. just did updates
[23:27] <talcite> soundray_: I did configure them, yes
[23:27] <insp12> k, I installed xserver-xgl
[23:27] <pythondasnake> mm Kitofhawaii: I will check it out thanks
[23:27] <talcite> soundray_: that shouldn't be a problem though should it?
[23:27] <insp12> any last hints before I reboot and fight this out again?
[23:27] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: not that I can see
[23:27] <ikonia> teknoprep: that pretty much zero information to go on, ask the channel rather than one person. Report as much inforamation as you can
[23:27] <insp12> I know to pray to the linux gods and all that
[23:27] <deckard> how do I restart sound server on my laptop
[23:27] <teknoprep> ikonia, already asked ... no one knows anything of this
[23:27] <inzeo> mikebeecham: are you looking at your IPOD through nautilus as well?
[23:27] <teknoprep> ikonia, or is too busy
[23:27] <insp12> but anything else I should keep in mind?
[23:27] <talcite> soundray_: you've got to be kidding me... It was waiting for me to press enter...
[23:27] <soundray_> talcite: no, it shouldn't -- just wanted to make sure this wasn't some unintended effect of something else
[23:27] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: I know my generic had that issue... look for hidden files
[23:27] <teknoprep> ikonia, what can you do ya know.. other ppl are having this issue.. no real fix tho
[23:28] <deckard> somehow when coming back from hibernate I lose sound
[23:28] <talcite> soundray_: I feel like an idiot now >.>'
[23:28] <bosco> gonnaeatthat: did that and still nothing
[23:28] <mikebeecham> inzeo...not through sudo...but through normal nautlius
[23:28] <soundray_> talcite: on what?
[23:28] <ikonia> teknoprep: why are you telling me this ?
[23:28] <gonnaeatthat> okay bosco hold on
[23:28] <talcite> soundray_: at loading rc.local scripts 0.o
[23:28] <deckard> is there away to restart it ??
[23:28] <teknoprep> ikonia, you seemed to know what you are talking about.. but i see you actually have no clue and will leave you alone now
[23:28] <inzeo> mikebeecham: okay, and like Jack_Sparrow said, did you try showing hidden files?
[23:28] <cs82> can anyone help me with my problem? I have a gateway c210x every version of gusty I install the display goes out if I unplug the power
[23:28] <talcite> soundray_: ahh well, thanks for your help =D
[23:28] <soundray_> talcite: hmm, strange. Glad you located the problem, though
[23:28] <ikonia> teknoprep: I have no clue, you have no idea what I do/do not know
[23:28] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: inzeo I have tried Ctrl+H....nothing extra shows up
[23:28] <pythondasnake> Don't unplug the power :P

[23:29] <deckard> somehow when coming back from hibernate I lose sound, is there a way to restart
[23:29] <inzeo> have you tried mikebeecham: unmounting and remounting?
[23:29] <deckard> sound services
[23:29] <teknoprep> ikonia, and thats enough for me to not talk to you now
[23:29] <taff> ikonia download  easy umbuntu  from their  web site
[23:29] <soundray_> teknoprep: you seem to have a talent at making yourself unpopular
[23:29] <teknoprep> ikonia, you seem very insecure also
[23:29] <pike_> deckard: maybe sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[23:29] <mikebeecham> inzeo
[23:29] <ikonia> teknoprep: because you have given me no information on your problem other than "it doesn't suspend"
[23:29] <mikebeecham> nope
[23:29] <teknoprep> soundray_, sometimes
[23:29] <slaytanic> I just configured twinview for my dual head setup and I've got a problem, lots of windows pop up in the middle, even the login screen which is really annoying. Any way around that?
[23:29] <deckard> pike_, thanks trying
[23:29] <teknoprep> ikonia, doesn't hibernate
[23:29] <ikonia> taff: why do I need easy ubuntu ?
[23:29] <teknoprep> ikonia, after doing updates
[23:29] <ikonia> teknoprep: thats not enough information
[23:29] <teknoprep> ikonia, i would expect this to be a common problem
[23:29] <gonnaeatthat> bosco: you said you finished loading madwifi drivers right
[23:30] <ikonia> teknoprep: its not a common problem, there are many reasons hibernation can fail
[23:30] <teknoprep> ikonia, i find no answer on the forums except a possible problem with nvidia xorg.conf settings but that doesn't apply to me as i use ATI
[23:30] <bosco> gonnaeatthat: soposidly how do i check that
[23:30] <kitofhawaii> teknoprep: what video card do you have? also, if you expect top flight support, you know...you can pay for it. we're just trying to help
[23:30] <gonnaeatthat> im not sure lol
[23:30] <gonnaeatthat> is your network WPA?
[23:30] <teknoprep> kitofhawaii, ati 7500 mobilty

[23:30] <gonnaeatthat> hold on let me look too
[23:30] <mikebeecham> inzeo: unmounting (removing) and mounting again showed nothing new
[23:30] <teknoprep> kitofhawaii, ibm t40 thinkpd
[23:31] <ikonia> teknoprep: I'm aware of many reasons for hibernation to work/fail, but I'll keep that information for people who don't insult me
[23:31] <gonnaeatthat> is your wireless status led lit up on laptop?
[23:31] <gonnaeatthat> if madwifi driver is loaded it should be working
[23:31] <teknoprep> ikonia, thats fine i'll be able to fix it on my own .. just asked here to see if i could fix it faster
[23:31] <ikonia> taff: I am perfectly capable of installing flash, re-read my original question of why I wanted someone to do a test .

[23:39] <helpMeplease123> oh ok... but some people can install that i read
[23:39] <ikonia> inzeo: not %100 but I don't think it's in the stable repo
[23:40] <ikonia> inzeo: could be wrong though
[23:40] <Jack_Sparrow> ikonia: did you need help with sunbird?
[23:40] <Jordan_U> For some reason I need to hold down keys for ~ 1 second before a letter is actually typed

[23:40] <kane77> ikonia, isn't there package for sunbird?
[23:40] <nickrud> rflol
[23:40] <helpMeplease123> im the one who need help with sunbird
[23:40] <inzeo> ikonia: yeah, thats possible - i know i had installed it through add/remove and used it for a bit without problem
[23:40] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: no, I just packaged it up myself
[23:40] <ikonia> kane77: could be, when I last used it there wasn't
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> same here
[23:41] <kane77> ikonia, there is.. I'm installing it right now.. thanx for reminding me ;)
[23:41] <ikonia> kane77: ooh thats good to know, what version is out ?
[23:41] <sarixe> is it possible to get madwifi working from a livecd, only having a wireless connection?
[23:41] <Jordan_U> Ahh, slow keys was somehow activated ;)
[23:42] <Jack_Sparrow> helpMeplease123: Here are my notes on sunbird  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47301/
[23:42] <Jordan_U> sarixe, Yes, if your card is supported by the madwifi drivers that come on the LiveCD
[23:42] <littlebear> ok i have a result
[23:42] <nickrud> ikonia: it's 0.5 in the repos
[23:42] <littlebear> Download done.
[23:42] <littlebear> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[23:42] <littlebear> The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[23:42] <ikonia> nickrud: thanks
[23:42] <kane77> ikonia, 0.5
[23:42] <littlebear> yeah same result as always
[23:42] <ikonia> littlebear: I've just found the bug in launchpad
[23:42] <sarixe> Jordan_U : Atheros 5005G
[23:42] <soldats> littlebear, can y ou reinstall it
[23:42] <sarixe> bleh
[23:42] <SoteriouLoucas> hello
[23:43] <ikonia> soldats: it will not work
[23:43] <sarixe> Jordan_U : Atheros AR5005G
[23:43] <sarixe> that's the one
[23:43] <inzeo> littlebear: i think there is a way to deactivate the md5 check, but i simply used an older package that matched the md5 sum
[23:43] <ikonia> littlebear:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/174438
[23:43] <SoteriouLoucas> is anybody willing to help me ? i have a problem during uptading my system
[23:44] <littlebear> im running on 32 bit
[23:44] <kane77> SoteriouLoucas, can you give a bit more detail?
[23:44] <SoteriouLoucas> ok
[23:44] <soldats> !ask | sot
[23:44] <ubotu> sot: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[23:44] <soldats> !ask | SoteriouLoucas
[23:44] <ubotu> SoteriouLoucas: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[23:44] <soldats> oops
[23:45] <SoteriouLoucas> ok when i am trying my system
[23:45] <Jordan_U> sarixe, I don't know if that is supported, do you have any reason to think it wouldn't be? Is it very new?
[23:45] <soundray_> SoteriouLoucas: keep it on one line please
[23:45] <kane77> SoteriouLoucas, and can you _please_ keep it in one line?
[23:45] <SoteriouLoucas> It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first.
[23:45] <SoteriouLoucas> i run the command into terminal and this is what i get :
[23:45] <SoteriouLoucas> The following extra packages will be installed:
[23:45] <SoteriouLoucas> patch
[23:45] <inzeo> littlebear: do you have an AIM/yahoo/gmail, account?
[23:45] <tophat> anyone know how to get the BMC43xx (4318) to get to montir mode?
[23:46] <SoteriouLoucas> i am doing the command in the terminal and result is : Media change: please insert the disc labeled
[23:46] <SoteriouLoucas> 'Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)'
[23:46] <SoteriouLoucas> in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter
[23:46] <soundray_> SoteriouLoucas: please put the full output of sudo apt-get -f install on the pastebin
[23:46] <sarixe> Jordan_U : no, it's supported with the madwifi i use here on debian, but i was just wondering if it was possible to get madwifi working on ubuntu's livecd
[23:46] <pythondasnake> What Java IDE's work with Ubuntu ?
[23:46] <sarixe> Jordan_U : because i wasn't sure if it came pre-installed or not
[23:46] <kane77> tophat, for me (4311) it works with bcm43xx module
[23:46] <kitche> tophat: bcm43xx sort of doesn't do monitor mode yet I believe or it does but it doesn't work well at least on Linux
[23:46] <inzeo> SoterioLoucas: go to System - Administration - Software Sources and uncheck the CD as a source
[23:46] <littlebear> inzeo: yes but i never use it lol
[23:46] <soundray_> SoteriouLoucas: oh, if it's that, just go to System-Administration-Software sources and disable the CD
[23:46] <kane77> pythondasnake, netbeans, eclipse, IDEA...
[23:46] <SoteriouLoucas> thanx i will try it
[23:47] <inzeo> littlebear: haha, i was going to send you the tarball that I used for flash that works correctly (older version for now though)
[23:47] <daedalus> pythondasnake: have you tried eclipse?
[23:47] <tophat> so it wont work with the ndiswrapper drivers from windows, just the restricted drivers?
[23:48] <littlebear> lol i remember now i need to be registered to send pm's lol
[23:48] <Jordan_U> sarixe, It comes pre-installed, and should "just work" ( Ubuntu uses network-manager by default )
[23:48] <kane77> kitche, for me it works okay.. I was doing wardriving with kismet and it monitored alright...
[23:48]  * littlebear goes to register again lol
[23:48] <aleka> What is a good application to record stereo output from my soundcard other than Audacity? For some reason audcacity is not working for me and am wondering what other options there are...
[23:48] <inzeo> littlebear: hahahah
[23:48] <sarixe> Jordan_U : ok, thanks
[23:48] <kitche> kane77: it might work but kismet has bcm43xx has expermental which means it's not stable :)
[23:48] <daedalus> SoteriouLoucas if you don't want to mess with the disc you can comment it out in /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:48] <soundray_> aleka: have you disabled esd? Sometimes audacity will work once you have done that.
[23:49] <froh> aleka: if audacity dont work you probably have a os/setup problem
[23:49] <axod> Hi I just installed ubuntu 7.10 on a T42, it was working fine, then I disabled tap to click on the touchpad, now I can move the mouse, but not click anything, and the keyboard won't do anything either... any special keys I can try to bring it back to life?
[23:49] <kane77> kitche, good to know that.. (who read the docs ;) )
[23:49] <littlebear> dam someone allready registered it lol
[23:49] <aleka> soundray_: any pointers on how to check if esd is disabled  or how to disable it?
[23:49] <aleka> I was assuming I was using ALSA
[23:49] <inzeo> littlebear: haha
[23:49] <soundray_> aleka: System-Preferences-Sound -- on the second tab
[23:49] <kitche> kane77: and also bcm43xx driver only supports certain bcm43xx anyways
[23:49] <froh> aleka: ps aux|grep esd
[23:50] <axod> caps lock doesn't do anything either :(
[23:50] <daedalus> axod, take a look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and remove the offending line.
[23:50] <aleka> it is disabled
[23:50] <Jack_Sparrow> ikonia: are you still here... may I pm..?
[23:50] <kane77> kitche, yes, I'm kind of lucky with my 4311 as it is somewhat supported.. I still cannot connect to WPA, but that's probably because I'm dumb..
[23:51] <froh> aleka: do you get a device busy error?'
[23:51] <littlebear72> inzeo: registered lol
[23:51] <selinuxium> Hi all, is there a way of opening microsoft document imaging files in ubutu> (*.mdi)
[23:51] <aleka> I usually get error messages about the sound IO already being in use (which is what I want since I am trying to record), and one time it got working.. it was recording input from my mic
[23:51] <axod> daedalus: but alt ctrl backspace won't work either
[23:52] <inzeo> littlebear72: okay, is it an AIM account? if so, what's the sn?
[23:52] <SoteriouLoucas> thanx guys
[23:52] <SoteriouLoucas> i think is fixed
[23:52] <inzeo> SoteriouLoucas? did that work for you?
[23:52] <SoteriouLoucas> good night from me
[23:52] <froh> aleka: the command lsof lists open files, look for /dev/asound
[23:52] <littlebear72> did you get my pm i sent you ?
[23:52] <kane77> selinuxium, don't think so... last time I got .mdi I had to go to windows download viewer and export it to some better format...
[23:52] <daedalus> axod: I odn't know of any key combo to get you back, you might try restarting in recovery mode and fixing it fromt he command line...
[23:52] <SoteriouLoucas> no soundtrays commaand work
[23:52] <inzeo> littlebear72: oh yeah, i did, okay, I'll send it there along with the instructions
[23:52] <selinuxium> kane77: I was worried that might be the case! :)
[23:53] <draik> My friend's monitor is both TV and computer monitor. For some reason, it won't work on the tv/monitor. It is set to Monitor, but nothing displays. Where should I start looking?
[23:53] <littlebear72> thanks
[23:53] <aleka> I get "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate"
[23:53] <littlebear72> ill need that instructions lol
[23:53] <kane77> selinuxium, :/ there might be some, but I don't know of any...
[23:53] <daedalus> axod there is a program called gsynaptics that might help configure the mouse...
[23:54] <froh> aleka: you can set samplerate in audacity....
[23:54] <nickrud> SoteriouLoucas: that would be the first thing anyone said, but there might be more wrong; run  sudo apt-get -f install  in a terminal, and paste the whole output to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[23:54] <Jack_Sparrow> draik: I have one of those dual units, the max res is only 800x600  make sure you are not trying to push it higher than it can take
[23:54] <froh> aleka: some kard like 48000 (hint)
[23:54] <dis4ever> a good binary newsreader please
[23:54] <draik> Jack_Sparrow: It has gone up to 1024x768, which is where it was set.
[23:54] <froh> aleka: card even
[23:54] <froh> bye now
[23:54] <Jack_Sparrow> draik: Just tossing out suggestions..
[23:54] <SoteriouLoucas> nickrud i have done this also
[23:55] <SoteriouLoucas> and works
[23:55] <SoteriouLoucas> thanx
[23:55] <draik> Jack_Sparrow: I know. I thank you for that. Just letting you know.
[23:55] <inzeo> littlebear72: ok, it should be on the way
[23:55] <aleka> OK, for playback and recording , audacity is using Device: OSS: /dev/dsp.. should that be changed to ALSA?
[23:56] <nickrud> dis4ever: pan is about it for gnome
[23:56] <littlebear72> thanks inzeo
[23:56] <pythondasnake> Oh somebody answered me. I have tried Eclipse and Netbeans
[23:56] <jobu1543> I have a broken software RAID1 that drops to  BusyBox upon boot. Does anyone have any suggestions/urls that might help?
[23:56] <littlebear72> ok now my second issue is
[23:56] <dis4ever> how to watch the headers nickrud
[23:56] <aleka> and under ALSA, I have 3 options with my soundcard name and front,read and center ~)
[23:56] <pythondasnake> For simple stuff I like Textpad
[23:56] <inzeo> littlebear72: let me know if that works
[23:56] <littlebear72> i want tu run a vmware based product
[23:56] <pythondasnake> Light weight ..  bad for debugging though
[23:56] <dis4ever> i downloaded headers but don't know how to see them
[23:56] <littlebear72> or
[23:56] <pythondasnake> So I guess it works with Ubuntu was my question
[23:56] <littlebear72> a different one that does same thing
[23:57] <soundray_> !enter | pythondasnake
[23:57] <ubotu> pythondasnake: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[23:57] <inzeo> littlebear72: i would recommend virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org
[23:57] <nickrud> dis4ever: ?? look at the header pane?
[23:58] <pythondasnake> Ok, no problem
