[00:00] <staykovmarin> hi, i just installed ubuntu and i am truying to install the nvidia drivers. however it doesnt want to download the precompiled version
[00:00] <pipehh> Hi =)
[00:00] <jack-desktop> mwe, I'm going to mess around a little bit more and see if I can do what I originally started trying to do
[00:00] <fatedkiss> theres a default network manager icon on the top panel and i erased it on accident, would anyone know where i can find it again?
[00:00] <mEck0> nemilar, no :( I have googled a lot but can't find a solution to it. In restricted drivers, I can see that the driver is in use, but I don't have a wireless connection-section in gnome network manager (just wired- and modem connection)
[00:00] <timtux> m1r: it won't connect, it finds the AP etc, but it wont connect to it.
[00:00] <itson> anyone know why when i do a search on synaptic for nvidia, it doesnt find any nvidia-glx-new or nvidia-glx or nvidia-settings?
[00:00] <Dr_willis> staykovmarin,  how are you truing to install them? I normally just let the restricted-manager tool handle it. Yoiu are saying THAT dosent want to download them?
[00:00] <Jangari> wasn't it a silly design flaw to make cd/dvd drive bays with the open/close button *underneath* the tray?
[00:00] <m1r> timtux, what revision of card u got ?
[00:00] <staykovmarin> is this a common problem?
[00:00] <staykovmarin> it just stays on the screen after i tell it to download from ftp://download.nvidia.com
[00:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Jangari: Be aware that changing the size of your ubuntu partition(s0 will change the uuid and cause you to edit of your fstab..
[00:00] <staykovmarin> no progress bar or anything
[00:00] <nemilar> Jangari: how do you figure
[00:01] <nemilar> mEck0: are you using the iwl3945 driver?
[00:01] <m1r> timtux, u have any protection ON ? wep , wpa ?
[00:01] <Dr_willis> Jangari,  Not from my vantage point. :)  Then again. the eject command  means ya dont need that ubtton
[00:01] <timtux> m1r: nope.
[00:01] <Jangari> grr, i just don't know now
[00:01] <m1r> timtux, how far is device from AP ?
[00:01] <mwe> jack-desktop: ok. if you need to regenerate it, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p critical xserver-xorg IIRC, though
[00:01] <staykovmarin> Dr_willis: no, i am using the binary download. for some reason i cant get my resolution normal on this monitor. it works fine on my monitor at home though
[00:02] <nemilar> mEck0: err I gtg, I'll be back in a bit if you can't find someone to help
[00:02] <timtux> m1r: 1m.
[00:02] <jack-desktop> mwe, thanks.
[00:02] <Jangari> this is on a windows 2k machine, Dr_willis, there's unfortunately no 'close' button.
[00:02] <timtux> m1r: (meters), 3feet. :-P
[00:02] <mEck0> nemilar, don't know actually, in restricted drivers (proprietary) the driver in use is: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for Linux. Okay, thx
[00:02] <m1r> timtux, did u install anything above default setings ?
[00:02] <mwe> jack-desktop: in case you do that backup what you have to a name you remember, though :)
[00:02] <Jangari> which also means i have to go into the next room to replace the disk
[00:02] <timtux> m1r: no.
[00:02] <Dr_willis> Jangari,  I recall some tools for windows that put a little cd/eject/close/open button on the systemdray.. of course you just push on the cd tray and it should close.
[00:02] <m1r> timtux, can u tell me revision of card ?
[00:02] <timtux> m1r: B1
[00:02] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow: you there
[00:03] <m1r> ah
[00:03] <danand> Jangari: :) - For when your finger just can't reach - on the command line $ eject [open] or $ eject -t [close]
[00:03] <Jack_Sparrow> yes.. commercials
[00:03] <m1r> timtux, gimme 5 min
[00:03] <Jangari> yeah, i know, but those little plastic gears make me want to use the open/close button
[00:03] <arken_> I need help using my joystick
[00:03] <Dr_willis> Jangari,  gears? Hmm.. I just tap mine and it closes. :) can almost just look at it and it willclose..
[00:03] <hanophix33> Jack_sparrow: i got them enabled, they run very slow
[00:03] <arken_> I want to use it in tremulous but it says "Joypad not active"
[00:04] <Jangari> mine's a little stiff
[00:04] <Jangari> hehe, what a double entendre
[00:04] <danand> arken_: I say that to my girlfriend all the time :-D
[00:04] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: There are a couple of tricks...  ask in #Compiz see what they can do..
[00:04] <timtux> m1r: sure, a note to you is that i don't have the device accessible at the moment. (It's my girlfriends device/computer). Gonna go to her tomorrow to fix it, and she doesn't have any internet connection there. So i'm bring the files needed on a usb-stick. :)
[00:04] <m1r> timtux, did u try enter network info in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[00:04] <Jangari> hey, anyone know the package or configuring a joystick or two? and it's fire buttons also?
[00:04] <zorn> should I have hpmud.rules if I have a samsung printer?
[00:05] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow: thanks
[00:05] <timtux> m1r: yes, but i don't know if they where correct. Could you give me an example of how it should look?
[00:05] <yon> Does anyone know why I cant access my USB hdd?
[00:05] <Jangari> package for*
[00:05] <Jack_Sparrow> np sorry it took so long
[00:05] <Celes> hello... can someone help me plz :(?
[00:05] <Jangari> ask away, Celes
[00:05] <m1r> timtux wait
[00:05] <timtux> m1r: for simple dhcp without encryption :)
[00:05] <Celes> okay so I had a mac theme for my ubuntu
[00:05] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: Let me know what all you did in addition to the notes you used..
[00:05] <Celes> and then suddenly I get an error msg
[00:06] <nugz1212> somebody wanna help me get ETQW installed?
[00:06] <timtux> m1r: thanks for your help by the way, i really appreciate it. :-)
[00:06] <Celes> Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
[00:06] <Celes> Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager.
[00:06] <itson> anyone know why, when i do a search on Synaptic for nvidia, it doesnt find nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new or nvidia-settings.
[00:06] <Celes> how do I fix it ?
[00:06] <tritium> itson: you must not have the restricted repos enabled
[00:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !find nvidia-glx-new

[00:13] <Jangari> it should be there somewhere, probably under utilities

[00:15] <techgeek40> Beryl is now Compiz
[00:15] <Jangari> local4130: beryl is dead, look into compiz-fusion

[00:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !beryl
[00:15] <ubotu> Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz
[00:15] <Celes> okay Jangari
[00:15] <local4130> thanks
[00:15] <Celes> it kinda worked except my custom theme is gone from my appearance window
[00:15] <xomp> Jack_Sparrow, ok, did that now I get [ 46.638000] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000:00:14.0

[00:16] <techgeek40> Timewriter: you can go to system - administration - Synaptic and type in compiz in the search window

[00:16] <Jangari> and save it for posterity, lest you have to do it all over again later
[00:17] <yao_ziyuan> people, a very important question: why ubuntu is yellow?
[00:17] <Celes> yes Jangari, but I never installed it in the first place.. my bro did lol
[00:17] <local4130> thanks for the advice guys
[00:17] <filthpig> yao_ziyuan, it's brown oO
[00:17] <Celes> im a linux noob.
[00:17] <yao_ziyuan> filthpig: orange...
[00:17] <Jack_Sparrow> xomp: There are lots of boot modifiers...  I am busy.. but here are a few pci=noapci acpi=off noapic nolapic or  all_generic_ide
[00:18] <mint2> whats xorg? and how do i use it
[00:18] <NickPresta> !compiz-fusion > NickPresta
[00:18] <Jangari> local4130: if you search synaptic for compiz advanced or something like that, it should pop up with some package which is the 'advanced desktop effects settings' manager
[00:18] <Niriven> mint2: It a windowing system, you probably are using it if your in some sorta graphical interface
[00:18] <filthpig> yao_ziyuan, then why did you ask why it was yellow?
[00:18] <Jangari> but, local4130, be prepared for some bugs in it, restarting it a few times seems to work
[00:18] <yao_ziyuan> filthpig: because in chinese, you can call it yellow
[00:19] <neopsyche> Hi, i tried installing KDE-desktop and it offered me some install settings as default after download..

[00:22] <fatedkiss> im trying to reinstall the defauult network manager on my panel, in system>preferences its not there or in Administration. theres a 'network' but its not the same
[00:22] <techgeek40> Nickrud: it would be great if I could get Gutsy booted right
[00:22] <techgeek40> :<
[00:22] <techgeek40> Nickrud; maybe you know the answer to this one
[00:22] <techgeek40> I reinstalled Gutsy - running dual core intel processor with 2 gigs ram - Nvidia 5200 Graphics card - I had to use the alternate CD to do the install - everything goes fine - but when I reboot it just sits at the screen for Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ok]  what is going on?
[00:22] <Chitinid> fatedkiss: try running nm-applet?
[00:22] <Celes> how do I change my monitor resolution on ubuntu? like I have a widescreen lcd.. >< and I dont know how
[00:22] <Celes> everything looks so small
[00:22] <Jangari> odd, fatedkiss, it's not the sort of thing that gets removed from the panel
[00:22] <nickrud> techgeek40: when you hit enter, what happens?
[00:22] <techgeek40> Celes: System - Administration - select screen and graphics
[00:23] <hou5ton> on a new install, my external hard drive does not show up on the desktop like it did before, and it won't let me mount it.  I followed instructions which say to: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/Laptop File Backup -o force

[00:23] <Jangari> or, 'screen resolution'
[00:23] <fatedkiss> yeah i think i somehow clicked the delete panel thing cuzz it was gone and im trying to rebuild it
[00:23] <techgeek40> Nickrud: I get the login prompt - command line mode
[00:23] <nickrud> techgeek40: log in there, then run killall gdm
[00:23] <Elevator_Hazard> Is there a simple way of installing php-gtk?
[00:24] <Jangari> oh, fatedkiss, you deleted the panel? that's strange
[00:24] <hanophix33> i am getting very slow desktop effects
[00:24] <jimmy__> sethk: Hey, I did killall x and it said no process killed, yet when i try to install some video drivers, it says im still running xserver

[00:24] <tritium> Celes: that's no excuse.
[00:24] <nickrud> techgeek40: no go to alt-f1 , hit enter. What happens
[00:25] <sethk> jimmy__, upper case X
[00:25] <jimmy__> sethk: Tried that, no luck
[00:25] <Jangari> right, or if you're on a wired network, just shows two screens?

[00:26] <sethk> jimmy__, try   ps aux | grep X          see if the X server is running with a different name
[00:26] <Odd-rationale> xomp: make sure you select that the ext2 mounts as root (/)
[00:26] <francesca> CIAO
[00:26] <jimmy__> ok
[00:26] <xomp> thanks Odd-rationale :)
[00:26] <techgeek40> nickrud: nothing just the command prompt
[00:26] <nownot> sethk: you mind looking at my firewall script making sure everything is looking alright
[00:26] <LordMetroid> I AM SCREWED...
[00:26] <techgeek40> unless I goofed and didn't do the sudo killall gdm
[00:26] <jimmy__> Is there a way i can use the terminal, while im using irssi sethk ?
[00:26] <sethk> nownot, ok, you have a new paste URL?
[00:26] <nickrud> techgeek40: that's the screen with the rc.local message, you get a login prompt there now?
[00:26] <Jangari> fatedkiss: notification area"
[00:26] <LordMetroid> WHat is the newestIs 7.10.4 the newest version of Ubuntu?
[00:26] <Jangari> that's the item you need to restore'
[00:26] <LordMetroid> wait a minute I can use wikipedia for that
[00:26] <nownot> sethk: i pm'd it to you
[00:27] <jimmy__> sethk: Also how do i switch to the 'x screen' ?
[00:27] <tritium> Jangari: just 7.10
[00:27] <jimmy__> Infact what is the x screen
[00:27] <sethk> jimmy__, usually control-alt-f7.
[00:27] <Jangari> it also show any programs that run in the background, notes, or rss feeds, pidgin, etc.,
[00:27] <techgeek40> nickrud - let me try that again - one second - sorry
[00:27] <fatedkiss> Jangari: notification area?
[00:27] <Jangari> tritium: ?
[00:27] <mojo> Why would my sound cards (mobo-realtek and creative-audigy2zs) sometimes flip-flop after a reboot, from hw:0,0 to hw:1,0 and vice-versa?
[00:27] <SpookyET> deskbar used to be a freaking bar. now, it's a bloody window mimicking google desktop search. I like the spotlight approach they used in the old versions.
[00:27] <sethk> jimmy__, if the X server is really running, you should have a screen.  Unless you are remotely logged into the system
[00:27] <viktor_> does anyone know if "Mono" (runtime implementation of the ECMA  Common  Language  Infrastructure.  This can be used to run ECMA and .NET applications.) got an irc chan?
[00:27] <techgeek40> nickrud: am I suppose to do the sudo killall gdm ??? or just killall gdm?
[00:27] <mojo> also:  how do i change the designation?
[00:28] <tritium> Jangari: what?
[00:28] <sethk> techgeek40, if you need to do it, you'll need sudo
[00:28] <Starnestommy> techgeek40: sudo killall gdm
[00:28] <techgeek40> Okay - rebooting and trying that again - sorry :<
[00:28] <sethk> jimmy__, try sudo killall /usr/bin/X       although plain old X should have worked
[00:28] <NickPresta> I have a radeon 9800 Pro. I installed ccsm, and have added fglrx to the WHITELIST variable. I have also changed the Composite option to "1". I get an error about texture_from_pixmaps. Any ideas?
[00:28] <nickrud> techgeek40: sudo killall, it's the graphical login prompt. I;m trying to see if that's interfering at all. robdig was helping someone with the same symptom. Neither of us has seen it before
[00:28] <Jangari> oh, nothing, you directed that at me, but it should have been to LordMetroid
[00:28] <mEck0> which of the following drivers do I need to download for a 32-bit Ubuntu 7.10-version (intel c2d cpu)? http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?suite=all&case=insensitive&keywords=ipw3945-modules
[00:28] <graywind> Could someone check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=672801 and point me in the right direction?
[00:29] <techgeek40> Nicrud: okay I"m at the error Running local boot scripts - issue
[00:29] <graywind> I'm a bit at a loss where to go with it :(
[00:29] <techgeek40> Now doing alt+ctrl+f2
[00:29] <hanophix33> can someone help me with speeing up my effects
[00:29] <techgeek40> I get the Ubuntu 7.10 desktop tty2
[00:29] <Jangari> fatedkiss: add to panel > search for notification, it's in utilities, "notification area"
[00:29] <techgeek40> Then that desktop login prompt - command line
[00:29] <nickrud> techgeek40: ok, now log in, then run sudo killall gdm
[00:30] <buyaka> is there any way to change the behavior of the lower panel in gnome? its not always obvious which is the active button..id like to make the contrast greater
[00:30] <techgeek40> okay - didi that part back at that comand line prompt richard@desktop:~$
[00:30] <Jangari> oh bugger,that doesn't restore the network icon though
[00:30] <Jangari> maybe you have to restart after adding the notification area, fatedkiss
[00:30] <nickrud> techgeek40: nice name :)   ok, alt-f1 , should get you back to the rc.local screen. Hit enter, do you see the login prompt now?
[00:31] <zk> LjL: reconfigred the xorg...but when i restart the gdm its starts and stopes 6 times in 90 seconds :D
[00:31] <hanophix33> nickrud: how bout helpin me speed up desktop effects
[00:31] <tylerjgillies> holy crap kopete sucks for irc
[00:31] <techgeek40> Nickrud: i ge the starting up - then loading, please wait
[00:31] <nickrud> hanophix33: you should ask on #compiz-fusion for compiz questions, the people that know compiz well hang out there
[00:31] <nownot> sethk: thanks it seems to be working so i guess im going to stick with it
[00:31] <LjL> zk: hm :| try installing "xdm", and setting it as the default DM
[00:32] <sethk> nownot, sounds reasonable.  :)
[00:32] <tylerjgillies> test
[00:32] <nickrud> techgeek40: when you hit enter, do you see the login prompt?
[00:32] <techgeek40> then something with usplash: setting mode 1152x864 failed
[00:32] <fatedkiss> Jangari: ill try that
[00:32] <techgeek40> usplash: using mode 1024x768
[00:32] <techgeek40> Yeah I get the desktop login command line prompt
[00:32] <tylerjgillies> tylerjgillies: test
[00:32] <zk> LjL: how? :-"  keep going...don't stop :P
[00:33] <Jangari> anyone know if you can make thunderbird put something in your notification area when there are new messages?
[00:33] <LjL> zk: sudo apt-get install xdm
[00:33] <Jangari> like the little letter icon on windows?
[00:33] <timtux> Anyone here running DWL-G122 rev B1?
[00:33] <zk> LjL: ook...and how do i set it default DM?
[00:34] <reese-015> quick question guys, just out of curiosity, I just got into Ubuntu7.10 and am wondering why some programs (for example synaptic) don't react to most gtk themes I install and have a dull grey look?
[00:34] <penars> anyone know how to switch to status in irssi? alt-1 doesnt work
[00:34] <tritium> penars: it is alt-1
[00:34] <Dr_willis> reese-015,  the apps ran as root. use the root users theme settings.
[00:34] <nickrud> techgeek40: ok, so I'm clear on this:  you boot up, and the screen shows something about rc.local [ok} , then the machine seems to stop doing anything. When you hit alt-f2, you can log in. When you log in and kill gdm, you can hit alt-f1 and hit enter and see a login prompt. Correct
[00:34] <penars> tritium: why isn't it working for me? alt-2 and alt-3 works fine
[00:34] <Bizzeh> reese-015: gtk sucks balls
[00:34] <tritium> penars: no idea
[00:35] <tritium> !language | Bizzeh
[00:35] <ubotu> Bizzeh: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[00:35] <Bizzeh> is pretty much the most truthfull and "to the point" answer you will get
[00:35] <reese-015> Dr_willis: but *some* themes do apply to them (like the Human default theme, if I take another theme though, Synaptic becomes dull and grey)
[00:35] <Bizzeh> i dont remember swearing
[00:35] <fatedkiss> jangari: that did it thanks
[00:35] <B-rabbit> Jangari, what email account have you got...is it hotmail, gmail or yahoo
[00:35] <reese-015> Bizzeh: why is that?
[00:35] <tritium> Bizzeh: well, scroll back, then
[00:35] <fatedkiss> ^^
[00:35] <techgeek40> nickrud: 99% I do the alt+ctrl+f2 - but yes, at the end of all this - I see a desktop login: and have - but it's a command line prompt - not the "GUI" part
[00:35] <Jangari> neither, B-rabbit
[00:35] <Jangari> institutional email through imap
[00:35] <Dr_willis> reese-015,  could be they are gtk apps not totally gnome apps.
[00:35] <Bizzeh> tritium: balls isnt a swear word...
[00:36] <nickrud> techgeek40: that's fine, it's one step at a time right now.
[00:36] <sethk> techgeek40, once you do control-alt-f2, you can't see the gui login screen.
[00:36] <techgeek40> Seth: no
[00:36] <tritium> Bizzeh: please, just keep the channel family-friendly, okay?  Your phrase clearly was not.
[00:36] <nickrud> techgeek40: what did I miss in my summary, it could be important
[00:36] <sethk> techgeek40, it may or may not be there yet, but after control-alt-f2, you won't see it either way.
[00:36] <Jangari> Bizzeh: balls isn't a swear word, sucks isn't a swear word, but "sucks balls" is an offensive verb phrase, to some
[00:36] <nickrud> sethk: he's not seeing it at all, that's the issue
[00:36] <techgeek40> nickrud: you were 99% correct - you put alt+f2 - left out the ctrl part
[00:37] <reese-015> I see, that's another thing I'm trying to understand, from what I can see I am using Compiz as a window/compositing manager and gnome as desktop env, so how come that the gtk themes I get from gnome-looks.org also come with window borders (which I'd guess is purely Compiz, not gtk)?
[00:37] <B-rabbit> Jangari, ok then i don't know anything about...what i was goin to say was that if u have a gmail account...you can use the "gmail notify" app to alert you when ever a mail comes in
[00:37] <sethk> nickrud, ok, I was just clarifying
[00:37] <techgeek40> is there a way - at the command line prompt - to do a sudo apt-get update?
[00:37] <B-rabbit> :)
[00:37] <techgeek40> I tried that one time - but without the web address I don't think I will be able to
[00:37] <ouellettesr> hello, I just installed kubuntu, and after I rebooted, it starts up and the screen is all messed up. There are lines going from the botton of the screen to the top. And kind of left to right
[00:37] <sethk> techgeek40, at the command line prompt is the only place you can do sudo apt-get update
[00:37] <nickrud> techgeek40: ok :) The ctl-alt is necessary when you're in X , alt- works from one console to another. you mentioned some stuff about usplash (just now saw it while reading back) what was that about?
[00:37] <reese-015> Actually just looking for a simple explanation of how gtk, gnome/'metacity' and compiz work together in terms of 'decorating' everything, just a really simple short explanation if that's possible :)
[00:37] <penars> what' the lightest terminal?
[00:38] <Jangari> no, B-rabbit it ain't that, i get a splash screen and an email alert popping up on the lower let corner of the screen when a new mail comes in, but i'm not always at my computer, so i want it to leave an icon in the panel, like akregator does when it finds unread feeds
[00:38] <Dr_willis> penars,  you mean like rxvt xterm, eterm and so forth?
[00:38] <penars> Dr_willis: yeah
[00:38] <bruenig> reese-015, if compiz is running, metacity is not, so you can throw it out of the equation
[00:38] <techgeek40> seth: i mean without actually getting into the desktop gui -
[00:38] <Dr_willis> penars,  id have to say rxvt
[00:38] <techgeek40> nickrud: let me redo that part and I will let you  kn ow
[00:38] <sethk> techgeek40, so do I
[00:38] <Dr_willis> !info rxvt
[00:38] <ubotu> rxvt (source: rxvt): VT102 terminal emulator for the X Window System. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.6.4-12 (gutsy), package size 196 kB, installed size 556 kB
[00:38] <penars> Dr_willis: thx
[00:39] <reese-015> bruenig: that's what I thought... but I can still get metacity themes and they affect the look of everything, is there some sort of compiz-metacity compatibility now?
[00:39] <bruenig> reese-015, gtk is a widget set basically, programs are well programmed using it as a backend for clicky things, it doesn't concern itself with window decoration
[00:39] <Chitinid> rencore_: gtk draws buttons and gui elements inside windows. metacity and compiz are window managers, only one of which runs at a time. they let you move windows around and so on. The taskbar and such is the gnome-panel program. Finally, it's possible to use other window decorators. Compiz has a built-in one, but you can also use emerald, etc.
[00:39] <Chitinid> rencore_: a window decorator draws the window frame, the titlebar, etc.
[00:39] <bruenig> reese-015, no of course there isn't compiz-metacity compatibility, that is like asking if there is some windows nt/linux compatibility
[00:39] <Jangari> lightest terminal? how light is the standard x-terminal?
[00:39] <reese-015> bruenig: I mean on the theme-side :)
[00:39] <javatexan> ill get ffmpeg compiled on a VM this week and then repeat process on the 'production' server
[00:40] <graywind> So should I go ahead and submit my problem in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=672801 as a bug? Not sure where to go with it.
[00:40] <Chitinid> reese-015: compiz can use metacity themes for decoration, yes
[00:40] <sethk> Jangari, pretty light
[00:40] <B-rabbit> Jangari, are you using an e-mail client?
[00:40] <Jangari> thunderbird, B-rabbit
[00:40] <reese-015> Aha, that explains it...
[00:40] <reese-015> Thanks Chitinid
[00:41] <techgeek40> nickrud: when I do the sudo killall gdm - i t get the following: (it's going to be about six lines - so bare with me)
[00:41] <techgeek40> Starting up ....
[00:41] <nickrud> techgeek40: don't paste here
[00:41] <techgeek40> Loading, please wait ...
[00:41] <Chitinid> you know, it's better to do /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[00:41] <sethk> techgeek40, it's auto reloading
[00:41] <Chitinid> if you kill it it'll just reload
[00:41] <Flannel> !paste | techgeek40
[00:41] <ubotu> techgeek40: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[00:41] <fatedkiss> any one know what ff. lines are?
[00:41] <reese-015> Now the only thing I'm still trying to figure out is why do certain programs that run as root (like synaptic) not react to most themes, only seem to react to the default ones that came with Ubuntu7.10
[00:41] <sethk> techgeek40, what Chitinid said
[00:41] <nickrud> Chitinid: kinda hoping for that
[00:42] <techgeek40> nickrud: i'll have to do that from my laptop - it's on the net right now - hang tight
[00:42] <bruenig> reese-015, because they are using a different configuration directory /root/
[00:42] <techgeek40> Seth: do huh?
[00:42] <nickrud> techgeek40: you can do it in a pm if you like
[00:42] <techgeek40> nickrud: let me do it in a pm -
[00:43] <reese-015> bruenig: Yes but how come that if I change to another default theme, synaptic DOES react to it, it's only if I change to a theme that didn't come with the distro that synaptic doesn't change to it.
[00:43] <nickrud> sethk: have you heard of this error, robdig was working with someone who had this happen but couldn't resolve it
[00:43] <reese-015> I guess it must be something like root having its own directory of themes, so that it tries to get the theme in use from its own directory and if it doesn't have a copy of it, it doesn't work... right?
[00:43] <techgeek40> Chitinid: how would I do your suggestion? do I do sudo killall /etc/init.d/gdm stop?
[00:43] <awmcclain> Is there a utility I can run that will help me cleanup packages that I build from source?
[00:43] <B-rabbit> Jangari, sorry i don't know...i use thunderbird too but there isn't an option for e-mail notification time span...sorry
[00:43] <badkitty> ello maytees
[00:44] <bruenig> reese-015, I assume you are using the drag and drop theme installer as a user when you installed these other themes? which means they are being installed into your home directory not a universally accessible theme directory
[00:44] <Jangari> no worries B-rabbit, thanks
[00:44] <badkitty> whats up nickrud
[00:44] <Jangari> might have to delve into the config editor
[00:44] <danand> ouellettesr: does switching with ctrl-alt-F1 etc help you in any way or do all screens look the same?
[00:44] <nickrud> badkitty: got sucked inot a problem I haven't seen myself, those are always fun :)
[00:44] <reese-015> Ok, I think I have enough info not to bother you guys with it anymore, thanks bruenig and the rest of you! ;)
[00:45] <jotil> doing: dirlist = (char *)malloc(sizeof(de->d_name)); is randomly adding garbage. sometimes it is working fine. sizeof(de->d_name) yields 256 at all time, even though the string it contains is much smaller.
[00:45] <badkitty> nickrud: haha yeah ... happens
[00:45] <Elevator_Hazard> Who knows anything about easily installing php-gtk?
[00:45] <nickrud> jotil: you choud ask about c on ##c
[00:45] <ouellettesr> danand, yes it brings me to a prompt
[00:45] <xomp> christ, after installing from the live cd to my hdd I choose Ubuntu from the options of OSes and I'm presented with nothing but a black screen with a blinking cursor.. Nothing else.. atleast XP boots fine still lol
[00:45] <jotil> nickrud: i thought this is ##c
[00:45] <jotil> lol
[00:45] <sethk> jotil, sizeof has nothing to do with how much is allocated
[00:46] <sethk> jotil, sizeof is a constant translated at compile time
[00:46] <PMantis> Anyone play with automatically receiving bluetooth file transfers to a server (no gui) from a cell phone. Seems the only way I can get it to work is compiling obexpushd
[00:46] <PMantis> errr ?
[00:46] <sethk> jotil, it's only meaningful for statically allocated buffers.
[00:46] <jotil> well sizeof is returning 256 at all times, even if the contained string is just a few characters long
[00:46] <sethk> jotil, I would guess that it's giving you the size of an array of pointers, although I'd have to see the code to be sure
[00:47] <sethk> jotil, right, exactly
[00:47] <badkitty> xomp: Have y ou heard of Grub?
[00:47] <jotil> so i must end it with \0
[00:47] <tehk> I have a macbook and I do not seem to have glx, how would I go about enabling it? I am using the intel driver
[00:47] <tritium> jotil: please stay on topic
[00:47] <sethk> jotil, no, has nothing to do with a terminator
[00:47] <xomp> badkitty, yah, it's installed and presents my os options just fine.
[00:47] <badkitty> xomp: Maybe the install didn't finish? I dunno thats weird
[00:47] <sethk> jotil, pm me if you like; this is off topic here
[00:48] <robdig> jotil: if you want length of string, use strlen. sizeof returns the size of an object
[00:48] <danand> ouellettesr: In that case I'm out of idea's - Mine works the other way around - messed up prompts but good gdm screen:-/
[00:48] <xomp> badkitty, I had to pass on some extra options to get the live cd to even boot properly. Think maybe that's my problem now that it's installed?
[00:48] <penars> is there a decent instant messenger that is text-based?
[00:48] <sethk> danand, maybe you two can get together and break both  :)
[00:48] <badkitty> xomp: yeah thats a little odd, could be part of the problem
[00:48] <thiago> fuck all
[00:48] <danand> sethk: :)
[00:48] <sethk> xomp, it's certainly possible
[00:49] <tritium> !language | thiago
[00:49] <ubotu> thiago: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[00:49] <ouellettesr> thanks anyhow denand
[00:49] <badkitty> !language | thiago
[00:49] <larson9999> penars, there's a text version of gaim, that's supposed to be ok
[00:49] <fatedkiss> sudo pico /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[00:49] <fatedkiss> Add the ff. lines at the bottom, any idea what this means (fff files?)
[00:49] <xomp> sucks then. Don't know what to do now lol
[00:49] <badkitty> fatedkiss: hey man
[00:49] <sethk> xomp, you add the options exactly the same way
[00:49] <ToMaK> how can i run an EXE file on ubuntu??
[00:49] <fatedkiss> badkitty: hi ^^
[00:49] <sethk> xomp, or, you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, and put them on the kernel boot line
[00:49] <ToMaK> i already install wine but HOW???????
[00:49] <badkitty> ToMaK: You don.t ... or use wine..
[00:49] <ouellettesr> ToMaK:  wine
[00:50] <timtux> ToMaK: wine filename.exe
[00:50] <Bizzeh> ToMaK: wine /path/to/file.exe
[00:50] <badkitty> Ithink you can even right click and open with.. wine??
[00:50] <xomp> sethk, I had to hit F6 at boot to pass on some noacpi options I think. I never edited a file or anythin that I know of :)
[00:50] <ToMaK> i already tried that
[00:51] <B-rabbit> ToMaK, join #winehq
[00:51] <sethk> xomp, in grub, I think you press C to edit the command line
[00:51] <Jangari> e
[00:51] <Jangari> not c
[00:51] <ToMaK> B-rabbit: ok
[00:51] <sethk> xomp, I don't know if the function keys are mapped, probably not by default
[00:51] <Jangari> (i think)
[00:51] <danand> ouellettesr: Try looking at your X11 logs for any errors - can't remember where they go though - try /var/log/gdm
[00:51] <xomp> sethk, ok, do you think I need to boot to the live cd again to edit my grub thingy?
[00:51] <sethk> Jangari, c and e both work.  One edits the line, the other is command mode.  I get them mixed up
[00:52] <sethk> xomp, yes
[00:52] <Jangari> ah. yes
[00:52] <sethk> Jangari, if it isn't c, it's e  :)
[00:52] <Jangari> xomp, have you heard of super grub disk?
[00:52] <Jack_Sparrow> xomp: You just need to configure your video seperately..  ctrl-alt F2  then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:52] <sethk> e is probably edit and c command mode, but I still get it backwards  :)
[00:53] <Jangari> i think that's what it's called, but maybe you don't need to recover the grub as such, just edit it
[00:53] <xomp> Jack_Sparrow, do I do the ctrl-alt f2 at the blinking cursor black screen or from the live cd?
[00:53] <tritium> Jack_Sparrow: is xomp currently using the LiveCD?  If not, the first v.c. works too...
[00:53] <Jack_Sparrow> xomp: If ctrl-alt F2 does not bring up cli.. boot into recovery mode at the grub menu
[00:53] <fatedkiss> Add the ff. lines at the bottom (ff. files?)
[00:54] <Jangari> Jack_Sparrow: if the partitions are wrongly listed in the menu.lst, recovery mode will similarly be affected, won't it?
[00:54] <danand> ouellettesr: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[00:54] <Cyberai> Hey, I just switched from a 1440x900 flat panel to a 1920x180 and I'm having a problem getting it to run at native rez. I ahd this problem with the 1440x900 one too. Someone in here told me how to use a command that give me the exact mode with the dot clock htiming setc. Can anyone tell me what that command is?
[00:54] <Jack_Sparrow> xomp: Boot the installed setup to the grub menu.. chose recovery mode to get cli
[00:54] <xomp> Jack_Sparrow, ctrl-alt f2 does nothing on this screen. I tried to boot from the recovery mode too with a black screen and blinking cursor
[00:54] <tritium> xomp: there are six virtual consoles on Ctrl-Alt-F1 through Ctrl-Alt-F6.  There's nothing special about the second one that you hvae to use it.  In fact, I find that rather odd to choose the second one.
[00:55] <ouellettesr> thanks denand
[00:55] <PMantis> Anyone have SDPTOOL_OPTIONS for /etc/default/bluetooth that will enable automatic file receiving from a cell phone *without* a GUI?
[00:55] <Jack_Sparrow> tritium: He can use any of them agreed.. I could have chosen any of them
[00:56] <tritium> Jack_Sparrow: I think people get used to using the second one from their experience with debian-installer running on v.c. 1
[00:56] <Jack_Sparrow> tritium: Rather than explain all of that.. just easier to have him try any of them.
[00:56] <tritium> Jack_Sparrow: yep
[00:56] <Jangari> i choose 4
[00:56] <xomp> ok guys, I'm booting into the live CD again, maybe I can access whats needed to get it to work without the live cd?
[00:56] <Marfi> for nvidia drivers, is nvidia-glx-new considered the "newest" drivers, or the most stable?
[00:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Back to the game.. look after each other
[00:57] <tritium> Marfi: the differences between the drivers are which cards they support
[00:57] <bastid_raZor> Jack_Sparrow:: go Giants
[00:57] <xomp> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[00:57]  * xomp prays to get this working hah
[00:57] <Marfi> tritium, im using an nvidia 7800
[00:57] <tritium> Marfi: then check the package details, and use the proper one
[00:57]  * robdig likes the pack
[00:58] <buyaka> is the game being streamed anywhere?
[00:58] <Marfi> tritium, i have enabled them in the restricted driver manager. i just want to know if nvidia-glx-new is the most recent release for the driver, or if there are newer ones
[00:58] <xomp> ok folks, my live cd is up now, what should I do? lol
[00:58] <terminal_dude> hey guyz
[00:58] <xomp> I'm dual booting if that helps any of you heh
[00:59] <tritium> Marfi: okay, so by now you understand
[00:59] <xomp> My XP option works, but the Ubuntu option (either Ubuntu or Recovery) results in a black screen with blinking cursor.
[00:59] <Jangari> can you access the menu.lst from a livecd?
[00:59] <britt> is anyone using an iphone via bluetooth?
[00:59] <terminal_dude> can somone tell me please for some reason my mozill aplugins stop working. whats best plugin to use to be able to play most online conntent, quicktime, rela player windows etc
[00:59] <nugz1212> can somebody help me get rid off "file creation error" while installing ETQW?
[00:59] <sethk> Jangari, sure, you have to mount the file system first.
[00:59] <Darkmystere> Can some 1 please help me get my Splash Screen working..
[00:59] <Jangari> right
[00:59] <nugz1212> on the native installer
[01:00] <Marfi> tritium, yes. its using the restricted drivers from the package nvidia-glx-new, and didn't know if these are the newest, bleeding edge drivers
[01:00] <Jangari> i don't even get what a splash screen is supposed to do
[01:00] <punkshui> hello i'm having problems gaining write access to my hfsplus partition. actually i'm looking for a good way to share files between linux and os x. ideally i would like both operating systems to be able to read and write to all my partitions
[01:00] <terminal_dude> anyone please ?
[01:00] <xomp> Jangari, I installed ubuntu from the live cd to my hard drive but it won't boot right on the hard drive and does boot with the cd as long as I pass on a lot of modifiers.
[01:01] <NemesisD> hi all, im trying to help someone get dual boot working and for some reason, even though menu.lst seems to look good and everything, grub seems to completely bypass them menu. It momentarily displays "failed to allocate mem" and then boots straight into ubuntu
[01:01] <hou5ton> anyone know why my new Ubuntu install takes 3 full minutes to load to the login screen?
[01:01] <hou5ton> with a black screen
[01:01] <Jangari> if you're on a lvecd then it's independent of whatever installation is on your machine
[01:01] <kosha> Does anyone know why my sd card reader would work and show a mounted SD card when I first start up my computer but then once I remove it and put it in again it wouldn't mount?
[01:01] <xomp> lol looks like tonight is I can't get ubuntu to dual boot right night tonight heh
[01:01] <sethk> NemesisD, are you sure grub is installed on the MBR?
[01:02] <Jangari> kosha: did you unmount it first?
[01:02] <NemesisD> im pretty sure because I think he said something about it saying grub loading
[01:02] <Jangari> before you unplugged it, that is
[01:02] <sethk> NemesisD, I would try to reinstall grub
[01:02] <sethk> NemesisD, also, make sure there is a delay parameter set.  If not, it won't show the menu
[01:02] <Jangari> super grub disk...
[01:02] <Marfi> how do i install the newest nvidia drivers?
[01:03] <tritium> Marfi: you have them. I told you...
[01:03] <NemesisD> sethk, i wonder if I could do that via ssh, just sudo grub; find /boot/grub/stage1; setup (hd#); ?
[01:03] <punkshui> hello i'm having problems gaining write access to my hfsplus partition. actually i'm looking for a good way to share files between linux and os x. ideally i would like both operating systems to be able to read and write to all my partitions
[01:03] <Marfi> tritium, didn't see it, sorry
[01:03] <NemesisD> sethk, well i did just test that and timeout was 3, which is pretty brief, so i just changed that to 10
[01:03] <erawfish> !nvidia | Marfi
[01:03] <ubotu> Marfi: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:03] <Jangari> adding 10 seconds to your boot time?
[01:03] <Jangari> pfft
[01:03] <tritium> Marfi: we went through that.  The nvidia-glx-new package is for newer cards.  It's not a newer driver.
[01:04] <sethk> NemesisD, yes, you can install grub from the command line, although not that way.  You just need the root command followed by the setup command
[01:04] <badkitty> Question, If I install 2 Linux OS's, can I use the same swap partition for both OS's
[01:04] <Jangari> hiddenmenu on, timeout 3 (press esc to see menu)
[01:04] <erawfish> badkitty: yes
[01:04] <NemesisD> seth, root (hd0,0); setup (hd0) ?
[01:04] <sethk> NemesisD, right, assuming that is the right disk and the right partition  :)
[01:04] <badkitty> erawfish: thanks
[01:05] <NemesisD> seems to be, according to grub
[01:05] <Darkmystere> OMG Does no 1 know how to get Splash Working?
[01:05] <sethk> NemesisD,  if you installed it onto the first disk that should be correct
[01:05] <punkshui> Darkmystere why do you want a splash screen?
[01:05] <xomp> ok, going to go smoke. brb
[01:05] <Marfi> tritium, so that is not the newest build of the driver then?
[01:06] <punkshui> hello i'm having problems gaining write access to my hfsplus partition. actually i'm looking for a good way to share files between linux and os x. ideally i would like both operating systems to be able to read and write to all my partitions
[01:06] <Jangari> do you use compiz fusion, Darkmystere? there's a splash screen utility in there
[01:06] <fatedkiss> i cant figure out what ff. lines are >.>
[01:06] <tritium> Marfi: you're confusing what the name is for.  It's to indicate that it supports the newer cards.  It has nothing to do with how new the drivers are.
[01:06] <Darkmystere> punkshui: Because it takes 3-5mins to load and it shows letters and ythen a  blank screen for the rest of the time..
[01:07] <Darkmystere> jangari: Thats just a little popup when you login
[01:07] <Jangari> meh
[01:07] <Marfi> tritium, ah, ok. gotcha there. ;) so how do i install the most recent driver for the card? i know with most drivers and other software for ubuntu, it is the most stable, not the newest
[01:07] <Jangari> switch it on and walk away for 3-5 minutes
[01:07] <Marfi> punkshui, i did that for my girlfriend
[01:07] <Jangari> watch the world instead of the screen
[01:07] <Darkmystere> The booting Proccess is just plain boring i walk away for like 3-5mins..
[01:07] <Darkmystere> lol...
[01:07] <Jangari> hehe
[01:07] <Jangari> damn straight
[01:08] <Marfi> punkshui, the way i ended up doing it was all through the terminal. it wasn't very stable for me
[01:08] <sethk> shouldn't take anywhere near that long
[01:08] <Jangari> i don't think a boot process was designed to be enthralling
[01:08] <punkshui> Darkmystere: sorry I don't think I understand what it is you want. Please ask someone else.
[01:08] <Darkmystere> Well i just want it so i can feel complete its my Last HUUGE problem other than that its just fixing the size of youtube videos..
[01:08] <tritium> Marfi: if you install something other than the ubuntu packages, keep in mind that we don't support that here.
[01:08] <Darkmystere> jangari: You havent seen the Splash screen ive choosen.. picture this (messaging kids are not allowed :P)
[01:09] <Jangari> my biggest problem right now is that applications and windows are opening too high on the screen to see the toolbars,
[01:09] <Jangari> i have t alt+move each one
[01:09] <Darkmystere> lol
[01:09] <Jangari> it sh|ts me
[01:10] <Darkmystere> I hope your a dude jangari..
[01:10] <Jangari> oop, pardon
[01:10] <punkshui> Marfi: ok, so i've disabled journaling on my os x partition and i can see the partition in ubuntu i've also put it in my fstab but it doesn't load automatically first i have to authenticate as root.
[01:10] <Darkmystere> lol
[01:10] <tritium> Darkmystere: s/your/you're
[01:10] <Jangari> yes i'm a dude, why would that matter?
[01:10] <tritium> win-X-perts: 15
[01:10] <Darkmystere> jangari: Check your Private messages..
[01:10] <Marfi> punkshui, have you enabled read / write permissions on the drive?
[01:10] <Jangari> ain't nothin
[01:10] <punkshui> Marfi: from in os x or ubuntu?
[01:10] <Marfi> ubuntu
[01:11] <Darkmystere> well
[01:11] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: did you get your sound fixed?
[01:11] <xomp> ok, I'm back. So who wants to help me get this thing to boot? lol I can re-explain everything if needed.
[01:11] <rubinho> Alguem aqui fala português ?
[01:11] <punkshui> Marfi well I put rw in my fstab line
[01:11] <Jangari> where does konverstion put privates? just as another tab i'd expect
[01:11] <Darkmystere> IndyGunFreak: yea I need help with my splash now could you assist me?
[01:11] <IndyGunFreak> maybe.
[01:11] <jimmy__> I accidently installed the wrong driver for my old nvidia card, how do i uninstall it and revert to my original nvidia-glx driver?
[01:11] <yao_ziyuan> when installing kubuntu-desktop in ubuntu's synaptic manager,
[01:11] <Darkmystere> IndyGunFreak: Well i just want my splash screen to work
[01:12] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: did you insall splash screen manager?
[01:12] <yao_ziyuan> when it says "Configuring kmag",
[01:12] <yao_ziyuan> Synaptic freezes.
[01:12] <IndyGunFreak> !splash | Darkmystere
[01:12] <Marfi> punkshui, what does the fstab line look like?
[01:12] <ubotu> Darkmystere: To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[01:12] <Jangari> is it easy to retrofit a laptop with gigabit ethernet?
[01:12] <Darkmystere> IndyGunFreak: Just sudo apt-get install splash screen manager
[01:12] <IndyGunFreak> yao_ziyuan: are you sure its freezing, or are you just not giving it enough time, sometimes it takes a fwe minutes.
[01:12] <Darkmystere> !gnome-splashscreen-manager
[01:12] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: no, sudo apt-get install gnome-splasscreen-manager
[01:12] <punkshui> Marfi: /dev/sda2       /mnt/osx        hfsplus ro,exec,noauto,users 0  0
[01:12] <yao_ziyuan> IndyGunFreak: i think it's still alive. just near freeze
[01:13] <punkshui> Marfi: looks like i just answered my own question there
[01:13] <yao_ziyuan> if i press Esc,
[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> yao_ziyuan: depending on what its updating, it can take a while.
[01:13] <yao_ziyuan> Synaptic's console window will soon display a ^p[
[01:13] <yao_ziyuan> ^[
[01:13] <fatedkiss> can anyone perhaps advise me what soemone would mean by ff. files?
[01:13] <Darkmystere> IndyGunFreak: Dont i have to edit menu.lst to get splash working or somthing usualy when it has to do with boot i do just asking
[01:13] <Jangari> dammit, my cli synaptic is stuck behind a firewall at my uni, how can i change the proxy that it uses?
[01:14] <Marfi> lol
[01:14] <yao_ziyuan> what is kmag?
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: thats possible, i never mess w/ my boot line, and splash always works by default for me
[01:14] <yao_ziyuan> kde maginfier?
[01:14] <yao_ziyuan> magnifier
[01:14] <w00t`> whick office is better and more polished, abiword or the open office? :)
[01:14] <tritium> Jangari: synaptic isn't a cli app.
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: i thought you were talking about splash, like between the login screen/signing in, and when the desktop actually starts.
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> w00t`: well, which one is 10x bigger?
[01:15] <punkshui> Marfi: okay still no write access.
[01:15] <Marfi> punkshui, did you remount the drive?
[01:15] <Jangari> okay, apt-get then, tritium
[01:15] <Darkmystere> I mean when your Booting The thing wiht Ubuntu at the top and then a Orange loading bar
[01:15] <Darkmystere> below
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:15] <Marfi> punkshui, or try to write something as root from the terminal to it
[01:15] <tim167> !imap
[01:15] <punkshui> Marfi: here is my fstab /dev/sda2       /mnt/osx        hfsplus rw,exec,noauto,users 0  0
[01:15] <ubotu> IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol
[01:15] <w00t`> i'm using open ofc usually but not abiword yet... maybe i'll try abiword to see :)
[01:16] <xomp> could someone please halp? :( I'm dead in the water here.
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: right, i was thinking the splash between logging in and when the desktop loads, you can put a splash screen there to.
[01:16] <punkshui> Marfi: I'll remount now (umount ... && mount ... ) ??
[01:16] <Marfi> punkshui, should work. also, check that you have hfsutils installed
[01:16] <shockwaver> I'm running in to an issue trying to retrieve files over the network from my ubuntu machine. I recently put a cheap zonet wireless card in there (Which seemed to work perfectly), but every time I try to pull a file larger then about 15mb off the server the connection drops for a moment which breaks the transfer. Is this a config issue or a crappy wireless card issue?
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> w00t`: abiword, is kinda like fluxbox GUI... small, light, and just enough to get the job done 99% of the time
[01:16] <buyaka> is it possible to get the additional buttons on my mouse working in ubuntu? ive got a logitech 710
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> !mouse | buyaka

[01:17] <w00t`> IndyGunFreak,  wow thats great..... i'm gonna try that... thanks :)
[01:17] <Ven]n> im trying to copy some icons into /usr/share/icons .. but i get omitting directory.. why?
[01:17] <buyaka> indy sweet thx
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> w00t`: if youre needs are fairly minimal, abiword will suit you just fine.
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> buyaka: np...
[01:18] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: are you there?
[01:18] <ruggerit> I need help with a soundcard. anyone?
[01:19] <buyaka> how compatible are these MS Word alternatives to MS Word itself? the reason I ask is because I have to submit Word documents for college work..
[01:19] <Darkmystere> IndyGunFreak: Ok, Heres the link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52848/
[01:19] <Darkmystere> Yea i just pre-typed that and tried not to retype
[01:19] <vbabiy> !flash
[01:19] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[01:19] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[01:19] <buyaka> the format is nothing fancy.. just your typical MLS format
[01:19] <Darkmystere> whats abiword anyways
[01:19] <buyaka> MLA i meant
[01:19] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: hmm, yours looks like mine, and i don't see anything when my PC loads, other than the loading bar.
[01:19] <tritium> Darkmystere: apt-cache show abiword
[01:20] <Darkmystere> I also want a splash screen like how you where talking about lol i didnt know that i get black screen there also >.>
[01:20] <punkshui> Marfi: okay now I have read/write access to my hfsplus drive in ubuntu... not to my Users directory but oh well.
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> !abiword | Darkmystere
[01:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about abiword - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> !info abiword | Darkmystere

[01:20] <ruggerit> can anyone help with general sound issues
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> !anyone | ruggerit
[01:20] <ubotu> ruggerit: 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?
[01:20] <Darkmystere> Do i need take out Silent Splash or somthing
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: no, don't think so, thats what mine says, and it works fine.
[01:20] <shockwaver> Any way to limit the upstream bandwidth on a network interface?
[01:20] <brambo> i really like unbuntu but i am having problems still installing things.....
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: have you modified your boot line for some reason?
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> brambo: what are you trying to install?
[01:21] <Darkmystere> What you mean?
[01:21] <brambo> RoR-0.33d-linux
[01:21] <brambo> its a game
[01:21] <brambo> for linux
[01:21] <ruggerit> how do you fix a broken soundcard
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: i mean have yo modified your bootline, like because your PC was freezing on boot up, etc.
[01:21] <kosha> you fix it
[01:21] <tritium> ruggerit: probably easier to replace it if it's physically broken
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: well, you need to be a bit more specific, is it physically broken, you need to buy a new one,
[01:21] <brambo> found here, http://repository.rigsofrods.com/
[01:21] <tritium> ruggerit: also, cheaper
[01:22] <IndyGunFreak> tritium: lol, pinch poke you owe me a coke
[01:22] <ruggerit> very true
[01:22] <nemilar> If a sound card if physically broken, uh, buy a new one
[01:22] <Darkmystere> IndyGunFreak: No i dont think so but i do have an Especially rare boot setup... Grub And Windows Bootloader are linked instead of just grub..
[01:22] <brambo> I tryed taking it out of the archive and playing it in a folder
[01:22] <ruggerit> my soundcard is detected with aplay, but i can't hear sound
[01:22] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: i bet thats part of the problem... hang on a sec.
[01:22] <brambo> placing
[01:23] <nemilar> ruggerit: is it muted?
[01:23] <ruggerit> no
[01:23] <Darkmystere> Well i have another Operating system on my Windows Bootloader
[01:23] <ruggerit> alsamixer shows al up
[01:23] <ruggerit> *all
[01:23] <Darkmystere> I acctually kinda like having both..
[01:23] <ruggerit> the master volume cannot be adjusted
[01:23] <tritium> brambo: it's likely a source package that you need to build
[01:23] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere:   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52849/  there's mine, they look almost identical
[01:23] <Darkmystere> Well its not a diffrent operating system its just Wubi ubuntu instead of this Dedicated Partion Ubuntu
[01:23] <xomp> Ok, I've tried every boot option there is on this thing and the only option that works the way it's supposed to is "Windows XP Pro". Is this an indication as to what I need to stick with since Ubuntu refuses to boot? It's really starting to annoy me..
[01:23] <brambo> how do i build a source package?
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: what is your sound device
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> !source | brambo
[01:24] <ubotu> brambo: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> !compile | brambo
[01:24] <ubotu> brambo: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[01:24] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, sis ac'97 sound controller from lspci
[01:24] <tritium> IndyGunFreak: that's for source .debs
[01:24] <Darkmystere> I know why there linked also the Wubi and Ubuntu default grub got fused during installation causing this signifigant bootsetup
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> tritium: lol, i realized that pretty quick
[01:24] <tritium> brambo: see the second link, not the first
[01:24] <Darkmystere> why is your boot.lst so small?
[01:24] <tritium> IndyGunFreak: :)
[01:25] <mEck0> bah, why is it so damn hard to fix intel 3945 wireless card :S have tried with a lot of guides etc. but can't get it working. Seems like I must use windows in school to get using the wlan :(
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: my boot.lst?
[01:25] <tritium> brambo: I suggest you use checkinstall, so that what you install is maintained under package management
[01:25] <Darkmystere> Oh you just showed a bit of it
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> its got the generic kernel entry, the recovery kernel, and memtest, what more do you want?
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> yeah.
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> i can show you the whole thing if you want
[01:26] <Darkmystere> IndyGunFreak: whats diffrent anyways?
[01:26] <mg6182> ubuntu supports the nvidia geforce 6600, correct?
[01:26] <tritium> brambo: you're not responding.  Are you seeing what we've sent you?
[01:26] <tritium> mg6182: yes
[01:26] <mg6182> thx
[01:26] <brambo> yes

[01:26]  * xomp ejects live cd, boots into XP and reformats the linux partition back to NTFS and uses live CD as new coaster... >:(
[01:26] <kosha> Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu automatically remount an SD card after removing it
[01:26] <tritium> xomp: what's wrong?
[01:26] <felipe_> any known problem installing the latest version of nvidia driver on Ubuntu Gutsy?
[01:26] <Darkmystere> >.>
[01:27] <Darkmystere>  i didnt know i could send files
[01:27] <tritium> felipe_: the supported approach is to install the ubuntu nvidia-glx packages
[01:27] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: i really don't know whyt hat wouldn't be working... do you have two sound devices installed, like 1 onboard, and 1 soundcard?
[01:27] <xomp> tritium, nothing now lol. I just don't have the time it takes to troubleshoot this install. I'm not making any progress on google on the subject either.
[01:27] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, no. It's very strange to me
[01:27] <Jangari> kosha, i asked before but i do't know if you answered, did you unmount it first before removing it?
[01:27] <tritium> xomp: what hardware are you installing on?
[01:27] <ruggerit> I'll give it a restart and try again
[01:27] <stoneman> Hi there, i would like to remove Gnome and install KDE instead, i tried installing KDE4 core, but i didnt have any network manager, and my gnome stuff was still on the PC, how do i remove everything gnome and install kubuntu with KDE4?
[01:27] <kosha> i didn't unmount it before removing, i just took the card out of the card reader
[01:27] <Jangari> xomp: how new is this particular installation?
[01:27] <xomp> tritium, it's a stock Dell Optiplex 320 if that means anything.
[01:28] <fatedkiss> <.< im never getting my mic working
[01:28] <Darkmystere> IndyGunFreak: Accept if you want its my menu.lst file..
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: and whats it say when you try to adjust your double click on the horn in your taksbar, error, like "No sound device," or what
[01:28] <tritium> xomp: did you follow some of the docs in !install?
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: i refuse them by default.
[01:28] <Jangari> kosha, you have to unmount media first before removing it, otherwise it can't remount it
[01:28] <brambo> tar: --: (PROGRAM ERROR) Option should have been recognized!?
[01:28] <brambo> Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
[01:28] <brambo> brambo@brambo-desktop:~$
[01:28] <Darkmystere> Oh ok
[01:28] <xomp> tritium, I tried following the site from the bot here on dual booting but that site wouldnt pull up
[01:28] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, no, it allows me to change volume
[01:28] <tritium> !install | xomp
[01:28] <ubotu> xomp: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[01:28] <tritium> xomp: particularly, the Common Problems link may be useful to you
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: ..ok.., so its a configuration error.
[01:29] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, it's possible that the onboard got fried
[01:29] <tritium> brambo: don't paste here, please.  And if you have a specific question, please ask.
[01:29] <Strangelet> I am trying to backup my music into an external HD, the only problem is that some songs and folder names have umlauts in them. How can I set it I may put those files/folders in? I use KDE, but #kubuntu isn't yielding any solutions
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: tell me exactly what lspci spits out about your sound device
[01:29] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, where should i look
[01:29] <Jangari> kosha: when you insert it again, it should pop up an error message, that message also tells you the command to run to force an unmount so the device can be remounted again
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: possible i guess, but unlikely
[01:29] <xomp> tritium, so I made a linux partition in windows using partition magic and after passing on noapci commands to the live cd installed it from that but now I have the options for ubuntu when I boot up, but none of them give me anything but a black screen with blinking cursor
[01:29] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, i'll need another minute
[01:29] <fatedkiss> anyone else had the problem where the sound works fine but there microphone does not?
[01:29] <brambo> sorry i was just trying to see if that would make it easier, i can't seem to do anything as of yet i will keep reading the page you sent
[01:29] <tritium> xomp: you don't need to create partitions prior to running the LiveCD installer.
[01:29] <Darkmystere> Ok now im having problems with inter net explorer for linux i keep getting thisn 39%  FONTSUP.CAB!! An error ocurred when downloading. Please run IEs4Linux again. Corrupted file: ie6/EN-US/FONTSUP.CAB
[01:30] <xomp> tritium, I know, but I read somewhere that the tools on the ubuntu cd were kind of flaky and I didn't want to risk loosing my XP data and OS.
[01:30] <Airbender> tritium, thanks for the answer, but I had troubles autodetecting more than one display with the distribution packages of nvidia drivers(nvidia-glx-new)
[01:30] <tritium> brambo: tar -jxvf <filename.tar.bz2)
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere: You need to see the people in #WInehq and ask about that script before you continue
[01:31] <tritium> xomp: they're not flaky
[01:31] <Airbender> tritium, by the way, is the package updated with the latest version?
[01:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere: In particular.. Read their topic and see that it is a problem
[01:31] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: why on earth would you use IE4linux?
[01:31] <brambo> is the  <><>  " < NAME >  needed?
[01:31] <Daworm> If I get "Buffer I/0 error on device fd0, logical block 0" when starting the install for ubuntu. It's ok to continue?
[01:31] <brambo> < NAME > or just NAME
[01:31] <niuq> join #knoppix
[01:31] <stoneman> Hi there, how do i remove gnome and replace it with KDE?, i want to remove the gnome apps too and use pure KDE
[01:31] <Darkmystere> because im trying to use msn
[01:31] <tritium> Airbender: no, typically not the very latest.  Once a stable release is made, only major bugs and security fixes are released until the next Ubuntu release (which occurs every six months)
[01:32] <Darkmystere> and it needs internet exporer
[01:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Daworm: Yes, I get that error twice then a [ause
[01:32] <xomp> tritium, I didn't want to take a risk either way lol. Partition Magic has done the job in the past for me. And Ubuntu didn't have any problems finding them either.
[01:32] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: ?.. use pidgin
[01:32] <IndyGunFreak> or use aMSN
[01:32] <tritium> xomp: so where is the install failing now?
[01:32] <Jangari> totally, Darkmystere, demicrosoften thyself
[01:32] <nugz1212> anyone here succesfully running ETqw on their linux?
[01:33] <badkitty> nugz1212: Nope just ET
[01:33] <xomp> tritium, it appeared to install just fine once I got the liveCD to boot. Now when I power the PC on I have a grub menu listing 3 options for Ubuntu and one for Windows XP. If I choose ANY of the Ubuntu options I get nothing but a blinking cursor at a black screen.
[01:33] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)
[01:33] <h1st0> nugz1212: doens't it have a linux client?
[01:33] <nugz1212> i need some gelp
[01:33] <Daworm> Thanks Jack_Sparrow - Not sure what's happened now though. It continued through, did the load scripts. then bottom half of screen went pink for 2 seconds.
[01:33] <nugz1212> yeah, i keep getting a file creation error
[01:33] <Daworm> Now monitor button is blinking like there's no connection. :s
[01:33] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: are you using ubuntu 7.10?
[01:33] <Daworm> PC is on though.
[01:33] <ferric84> I installed coldfusion on ubuntu via a bin file - what is the easiest way to remove it?  i can't find any docs on google on how to rid it from my system
[01:33] <h1st0> nugz1212: maybe you should email their suspport
[01:33] <Darkmystere> I use pidgin But it seems the file transfers are extreamly slow i tried using pidgin to download
[01:33] <tritium> xomp: hmm...
[01:33] <Darkmystere> a 5mb file
[01:33] <Darkmystere> it took
[01:34] <Darkmystere> 1hour
[01:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Daworm: Hit F6 at start or install and try one of these boot modifiers
[01:34] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, yes
[01:34] <Darkmystere> and then i tried amsn it took lkike 5mins
[01:34] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, fresh installed today
[01:34] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[01:34] <xomp> tritium, I know, I'm at a loss too lol.
[01:34] <h1st0> Darkmystere: depends on the sender
[01:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Daworm: pci=noapci acpi=off noapic nolapic or  all_generic_ide    there are others too..
[01:34] <tritium> xomp: you've tried noapic, nolapic boot options?
[01:34] <fatedkiss> I need help trying to get my microphone to work or actually recognize input
[01:34] <xomp> tritium, I had to pass some extra options off on the liveCD in order for it to boot in the first place.
[01:34] <Darkmystere> h1st0: My friend has a 6mb/s Internet connection and so do i
[01:35] <Darkmystere> 6GB
[01:35] <xomp> tritium, can I pass those on now that I'm not using the live CD and simply trying to boot into what's installed on the hard drive?
[01:35] <Daworm> oo
[01:35] <Daworm> I think card is dead
[01:35] <Daworm> reboot
[01:35] <Daworm> 3/4 pink
[01:35] <h1st0> Darkmystere: it could still be a problem between the two of you because pidgin works fine for me.
[01:35] <tritium> xomp: make sure those same options are in the grub boot options
[01:35] <phuzion> Is there a way to make xchat automatically open links on double click, instead of having to right click etc?
[01:35] <tritium> !enter | Daworm
[01:35] <Daworm> and 5 boxes of grey at the top.
[01:35] <ubotu> Daworm: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:35] <htns> doing "sudo apt-get install irssi," Ubuntu says that it can't find the package......
[01:35] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: look at post #4  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=39109&highlight=ac97+sound+card
[01:35] <xomp> tritium, ok, is there a way I can access the grub boot options from the liveCD or elsewhere?
[01:35] <Daworm> Sorry
[01:35] <htns> Even though Ubuntu terminal tells me to do that command, can anybody help?
[01:35] <htns> I'm on 7.10
[01:35] <htns> ;_;
[01:35] <tritium> htns: it's in the main repos.  You have to be able to find it, unless you haven't updated your package listings
[01:35] <Darkmystere> IndyGunFreak: I know why i dont have a splash screen... Because theres none installed according to gnome Splashscreen Manger or is that for between login and acctuall deskto[
[01:36] <Jangari> apparently you'll have to mount your file system, xomp
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> Darkmystere: thats between logging in, and the desktop
[01:36] <xomp> Jangari, Ok, I've no idea how to do that lol
[01:36] <tritium> xomp: yes, but can you physically look when you boot, xomp?
[01:36] <Jangari> nor do i
[01:36] <Daworm> Is it possible Ubuntu install killed my video card? As all I see is a 3/4 pink screen and 5 grey boxes at the top of that.  Was working flawlessly previously though.
[01:36] <trollboy> Hi, how do I detect what wireless card is installed on my computer?
[01:36] <h1st0> nugz1212: do you have the full version or the demo?
[01:36] <Darkmystere> oh whats the manager for

[01:36] <Darkmystere> boot
[01:36] <sethk> trollboy, lspci
[01:36] <zachalink> question: why does it take so long to show my desktop after boot up (20-30 seconds)
[01:36] <tritium> xomp: otherwise, yes, you'll have to mount that partition once you've booted the LiveCD
[01:36] <nugz1212> full version
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Daworm: No... power down and restart
[01:37] <joe2> hey guys does any body know what www6 is ?
[01:37] <charlz> hi all.. please help. where could i find an installation guides for MySQL?
[01:37] <xomp> tritium, what's physically look mean? heh *I am slow*
[01:37] <Daworm> Jack_Sparrow - doing now.
[01:37] <zachalink> When I have 2 GB ddr2 memory, amd athlon 64 x2 5600+ processor
[01:37] <joe2> i got ito on a website
[01:37] <punkshui> Marfi, I'm now in os x and was wondering how you got the ext3 partition to mount in os x?
[01:37] <zachalink> That really strikes me as... odd
[01:37] <xomp> tritium, ok, I'll boot the live cd now.
[01:37] <tritium> xomp: it means "look at your monitor, and check"  ;)
[01:37] <joe2> hey guys does any body know what www6 is ?
[01:37] <joe2> i got ito on a website
[01:37] <zachalink> I am
[01:37] <zachalink> I stare at it the whole time
[01:37] <tritium> xomp: no, try rebooting, and look at the grub menu
[01:37] <zachalink> nvm
[01:37] <nugz1212> h1st0: full version
[01:37] <xomp> tritium, oh ok I'm in the grub menu now with all my options for booting what os
[01:37] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, IEC958 is already muted in alsamixer
[01:37] <releod> does anyone know what software to use to stream music/media to xbox360 from ubuntu (gutsy) ??
[01:37] <Jangari> xomp, i don't know if anyone's anwered this already, but have you tried editing the menu.lst from the grub menu itself? before selecting an OS, that is
[01:38] <h1st0> nugz1212: yeah definately look on the forums or through there community for support.
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[01:38] <xomp> Jangari, nope, should I choose "e" or "c" to do that?
[01:38] <Jangari> e
[01:38] <tritium> xomp: see the help at the bottom of the screen?  I think it's the "e" key taht lets you edit the options
[01:38] <h1st0> releod: can't the 360 just stream off of a windows share?
[01:38] <Jangari> check what it has for the partitions
[01:38] <h1st0> releod: you could just share a folder with samba
[01:38] <releod> h1st0: I do not use windows, at all.
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: i really have no logical explanation for your problem, sorry
[01:38] <Jangari> but you'd also need to know exactly what the partitions are that you're using
[01:39] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, that's okay. Thanks for trying
[01:39] <h1st0> releod: there is a media blade on the 360 dash That I though had network options
[01:39] <xomp> ok I've hit "e" and I have these listed: root (hd0,1) - kernel /boot/vmlinuz-blah blah - initrd /boot/initrd.blah blah - quiet
[01:39] <joe2> does any body know what www6
[01:39] <fatedkiss> -.-
[01:39] <h1st0> releod: just make a samba share on yoru nix box and browse it using the 360
[01:39] <tritium> xomp: your kernel parameters aren't there, then
[01:39] <xomp> Jangari, I have only 1 hdd so it should be root?
[01:39] <releod> h1st0: sounds easy enough, thanks :)
[01:39] <tritium> xomp: you need to edit that line to add those options
[01:39] <Jangari> okay, you're where you wanted to be half an hour ago, xomp
[01:39] <xomp> tritium, ok, how is that done? :)
[01:39] <tritium> xomp: "e" key, I believe
[01:39] <h1st0> releod: yeah should be you might want to remove user auth on the share.
[01:40] <Jangari> yeah, e again
[01:40] <charlz> where can i find a good installation guides for MYSQL?
[01:40] <releod> h1st0: so read only would be good?
[01:40] <h1st0> releod: just edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf and change the line security = user to security = share
[01:40] <xomp> ok, I'm at a "grub edit> root (hd0,1) prompt now lol
[01:40] <tritium> xomp: then, once you're booted into the syste, you'll edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, and add them permanently
[01:40] <h1st0> releod: no that way it won't prompt the 360 for user and pass
[01:40] <tritium> xomp: which options do you use?
[01:40] <bascule> charlz: sudo apt-get install mysql

[01:44] <sethk> fnx, all the linux distros have everything you need.
[01:44] <xomp> sethk, ok just a sec let me back out of the root one
[01:44] <h1st0> !lamp > fnx,   fnx Read the private message from ubotu.
[01:44] <sethk> fnx, you will need at least two boxes, because you need two DNS servers.  Or you can get someone else to be your secondary, and you be their secondary
[01:44] <Jack_Sparrow> fnx: Look for web hosting service, they can take care of everything including basic page templates.
[01:45] <xomp> sethk, funny thing, I selected that one for /kernel blah and it already has those lines in it haha
[01:45] <h1st0> sethk: you don't need dns

[01:45] <sethk> h1st0, you don't _need_ any of it
[01:45] <Jangari> how can i tell apt-get to use a particular proxy server?
[01:45] <tritium> xomp: read this Grub Howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:45] <tritium> xomp: well, it _should_ already have those options.
[01:45] <h1st0> Jangari: you don't
[01:45] <Daworm> Ok, Jack_Sparrow. I can't figure this one out. It seems my video card has switched itself off after going to the Ubuntu install screen, I saw the cursor appear and that was about it.
[01:45] <sethk> h1st0, there's a millions servers you can use.  but it makes no sense to do all of it except dns
[01:45] <Jangari> i must
[01:46] <Starnestommy> superwtf: sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop?
[01:46] <h1st0> Jangari: you network connection should be routed through the proxy
[01:46] <xomp> thanks tritium but I think I'm gonna just do away with installing it heh.

[01:46] <Jangari> yeah,. but my proxy for the whole thing is different to the proxy that synaptic uses, for instance
[01:46] <fatedkiss> Is there any way to uncompile drivers?

[01:47] <xomp> tritium, it runs like a hammered turd haha
[01:47] <tritium> xomp: well, I'm glad it works for you on one of your machines :)

[01:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:47] <superwtf> nope, ubuntu-desktop does not work
[01:47] <muuddflap> hello everyone
[01:47] <xomp> tritium, I use compiz fusion on my lappy and it brings it to it's soldered knees hah
[01:47] <tritium> xomp: old hardware?  Have you tried xubuntu instead?
[01:47] <superwtf> apparently ubuntu-desktop is not installed, however im using it, strange
[01:47] <superwtf> im using gnome DE
[01:47] <Jack_Sparrow> superwtf: What exactly are you typing into cli
[01:47] <fatedkiss> remove a driver i compiled...dont know what i did exactly
[01:47] <superwtf> on Ubuntu
[01:47] <xomp> tritium, it's a compaq evo n610c 3Ghz CPU and 1Gb of RAM
[01:47] <h1st0> superwtf: well removing the meta package ubuntu-desktop doesn't remove any other packages
[01:47] <Jangari> unagi, evolution saves sent mail and drafts etc., always as 'on this computer', is that what you mean?
[01:48] <tritium> xomp: ah, so it's compiz-fusion, sounds like
[01:48] <muuddflap> anyone know why my printer won't work
[01:48] <fatedkiss> im trying to get my mic working, i installed some driver for alsa a lib and a utils program
[01:48] <superwtf> im typing in, sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[01:48] <xomp> tritium, but for some reason any of compiz's eye candy is on it is nearly un-usable
[01:48] <superwtf> so i can install pure KDE and KDE apps(kubuntu)
[01:48] <h1st0> superwtf: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package thats why.  It doesn't have any content just requirements of other packages
[01:48] <tritium> xomp: which video chipset?
[01:48] <fatedkiss> i edited...a file..now my sound dont work at all
[01:48] <sethk> fatedkiss, to remove a driver you have to reinstall the kernel version before the driver was added.  that's the only reliable way to do it.  if you in fact really need to do it.
[01:48] <unagi> not always because my 1and1 account is in its own folder Jangari
[01:48] <Jangari> use thunderbird
[01:48] <superwtf> h1st0 ah ok so how do i remove the gnome DE then?
[01:48] <h1st0> superwtf: its an easy way to install gnome and all the programs the end user just installs ubuntu-desktop
[01:49] <superwtf> and all the gnome apps?
[01:49] <xomp> tritium, it's an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500
[01:49] <superwtf> i want kubuntu without having to format the pc
[01:49] <h1st0> superwtf: well remove gnome packages and do some autoremoves
[01:49] <Daworm> Jack_Phoenix - Asus V7700TI
[01:49] <tritium> xomp: are you using fglrx, or ati driver?
[01:49] <Jangari> install kde first, superwtf, then think about removing gnome apps
[01:49] <superwtf> ah ok, i installed KDE4 before according to ubuntugeeks guide
[01:49] <xomp> tritium, I think I'm using the fglrx driver or whatever comes with Gutsy
[01:49] <h1st0> superwtf: what  are you trying to accomplish
[01:49] <sudobash> superwtf you have to format partition unless you just want to create it out your current OS'es freespace
[01:49] <superwtf> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673574
[01:50] <tritium> xomp: if that's the case, you'll likely have more luck install Xgl as well.
[01:50] <h1st0> superwtf: okay well remove the gnome packages then.
[01:50] <sudobash> but they you still have to format the partition you make out of that
[01:50] <Daworm> Jack_Sparrow even - Asus V7700TI   *dont' know what I thought Jack Phoneix*
[01:50] <muuddflap> he he quess no one care's why it don't
[01:50] <fnx> about websites: So besides the software mentioned I need nothing else? No DNS boxes or servers? (just want to clarify)
[01:50] <h1st0> sudobash: why would he do that?
[01:50] <superwtf> so i have to do all one by one like?
[01:50] <fatedkiss> and reinstalling the kernel will esentially wipe everything that was installed right?
[01:50] <tritium> xomp: (xserver-xgl)
[01:50] <tritium> fatedkiss: no
[01:50] <sudobash> unless he already has ubuntu installed
[01:50] <Jangari> superwtf: when you login, go down the bottom to select kde as your desktop, it's in sessions or something
[01:50] <xomp> tritium, what is a Xgl? Oh ok, can I get that off synaptic?
[01:50]  * IndyGunFreak used KDE once, then my doctor told me it was bad for me
[01:50] <sethk> fatedkiss, only kernel drivers
[01:50] <tritium> xomp: yes, you can
[01:50] <Jangari> if kde is already installed, that is
[01:50] <tritium> !info xserver-xgl
[01:50] <ubotu> xserver-xgl (source: xserver-xgl): GL-based X server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.1.99.1~git20070727-0ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 1696 kB, installed size 4404 kB
[01:50] <fatedkiss> so wifi drivers and stuff like that?
[01:50] <tritium> xomp: ^^
[01:50] <superwtf> jangari i tried that, but when i logged into KDE session, there was no applicatinos for internet etc etc
[01:50] <trollboy> Howdy, how do I detect what wireless card I have in my laptop?
[01:51] <superwtf> *applications
[01:51] <xomp> tritium, cool, I'll give it a try :)
[01:51] <h1st0> superwtf: the only problem you may have is removing gnome and having it want to auto remove Xorg because apt won't know kde4 is there.  But I dont' know how you installed it.
[01:51] <sethk> trollboy, for the third time, run lspci
[01:51] <tritium> trollboy: look at what dmesg and lspci report
[01:51] <sudobash> iwconfig is wireless utility
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[01:51] <Jangari> you should have access to all the same apps as you currently have in gnome
[01:51] <Ubunoob> I need to get wireless working in ubuntu. I'm on 7.10 right now, any help is very appreciated
[01:51] <jbuncher> Has anyone noticed increased power usage when idle with the new xserver-xorg-core package?
[01:51] <trollboy> sorry sethk
[01:51] <sudobash> but you can configure it in network settings
[01:51] <sudobash> as root
[01:51] <superwtf> ah ok, ill try again
[01:51] <h1st0> Jangari: it won't create the menus automatically.  He's installing kde4
[01:51] <sethk> trollboy, that's ok.  they called a dumb foul on the giants.  :)
[01:51] <trollboy> lol sorry
[01:51] <Jangari> right, so intalling more programs won't help until he finds them in kde
[01:52] <h1st0> jbuncher: i've noticed that the power consumption just sucks in nix
[01:52] <Jangari> it's a matter of creating the panels and menus and so forth
[01:52] <superwtf> hmm, what if i installed kubuntu-desktop, and then installed KDE4(that is if kubuntu doesnt have KDE4 specifically) then remove all gnome related stuff?
[01:52] <trollboy> sethk: I'm not sure which is my wireless
[01:52] <trollboy> what is it listed under?
[01:52] <xomp> tritium, I'm installing that now, thanks for suggesting it :)
[01:52] <tritium> xomp: sure.
[01:52] <adub> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52852/        <--- problem getting azureus to load
[01:52] <h1st0> superwtf: that would just be a mess
[01:52] <h1st0> superwtf: just remvoe gnome
[01:52] <sudobash> trollboy type iwconfig in a console and tell us what it says
[01:52] <sethk> trollboy, should say that it's a network thing.  if there are two, one of them is the wireless
[01:52] <tritium> !xgl | xomp

[01:53] <h1st0> superwtf: then install the kde apps you want.
[01:53] <badkitty> adub: Does it just close down as soon as you open it?
[01:53] <sudobash> iwconfig
[01:53] <sethk> trollboy, or as sudobash said, try iwconfig -a
[01:53] <superwtf> i was going to format the pc to reinstall with kubuntu, but when i loaded the kubuntu live cd, there was no WPA wireless support, only WEP :S
[01:53] <Jangari> Ubunoob: what sort of wireless do you have, card or internal?
[01:53] <jbuncher> h1st0:  Perhaps I should have been more specific.  After the latest xserver-xorg-core package, my wakeups-from-idle per second as reported by powertop jumped enormously, from ~100 to ~20000, and power consumption increased 8W from ~12W to ~20W
[01:53] <crdlb> xomp: you do not want Xgl
[01:53] <sudobash> that is the easiest way to see if wireless is already working
[01:53] <trollboy> sethk: no device
[01:53] <tritium> crdlb: in his case, he does
[01:53] <sethk> trollboy, ok, then go back to lspci
[01:53] <Ubunoob> wireless linksys wmp54g card
[01:53] <crdlb> tritium: no he doesn't :) he's not using fglrx, trust me
[01:53] <trollboy> sudobash: lo        no wireless extensions. eth0      no wireless extensions.
[01:53] <h1st0> jbuncher: i've noticed that the power management in linux blows compared to windows.
[01:54] <h1st0> jbuncher: thats all I was saying.
[01:54] <sethk> trollboy, if you don't know how to interpret it, capture the output and put it on the paste site.
[01:54] <sudobash> wel your card isnt installed correctly
[01:54] <tritium> crdlb: he said he was
[01:54] <superwtf> brb all
[01:54] <sudobash> or isnt turned on
[01:54] <adub> badkitty no it just wont load
[01:54] <crdlb> tritium: he's mistaken, fglrx supports the 9500 and up
[01:54] <crdlb> and I helped him set it up yesterday :)
[01:54] <xomp> crdlb, lol you would say that after I installed it haha :P I'll uninstall it now. I know that file you gave me worked so :)
[01:54] <Ubunoob> Jangari: I have a linksys wireless card. it picks up the network, i just can't connect.
[01:54] <bdancer> re
[01:54] <sudobash> go to system -> Administration -> network
[01:54] <sudobash> and see if your wireless card shows up
[01:55] <mEck0_> nemilar, are you there now?
[01:55] <tritium> crdlb: ah
[01:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Daworm: Google didnt bring up anything useful for me on that hardware.  a mfg pdf would be the best
[01:55] <trollboy> sethk: http://www.pastebin.ca/866974
[01:55] <badkitty> adub: Oh ok.. try compiling from source then install
[01:55] <tritium> crdlb: well, compiz-fusions slows his machine down to its knees
[01:55] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, asoundconf reset-default-card => no such luck
[01:55]  * __mikem feeds trollboy
[01:55] <LogicalDash> OpenOffice will no longer remove italic formatting when I have it turned on and type ctrl+I. How do I fix this?
[01:55] <sudobash> if your card isnt supported you might could use ndiswrapper to wrap your windows drivers into linux
[01:55] <sudobash> it's pretty easy
[01:55] <adub> badkitty just compile and install from source
[01:55] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, i'm gonna run some bios checks
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: sorry man, i'm googled out, those were the best things i could find on it.
[01:55] <sudobash> im sure someone will help you with it
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: ok, but i dobut its a hardware issue.
[01:55] <adub> have you had this problem before
[01:55] <crdlb> xomp: what does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say?
[01:55] <sethk> trollboy, marvell 88e8039 is your wired ethernet.
[01:56] <sudobash> if i am here i will help you with ndiswrapper
[01:56] <xomp> crdlb, yeah, I don't have a lot of the eye candy enabled right now. Just a few of the animations (very little at that) and this thing runs horrid :/
[01:56]  * h1st0 scratches head about trollboy's nick
[01:56] <Daworm> Jack_Sparrow Yeah, as I said .. it's OLD. All I have is the vid card sitting in a box.  It's an Asus V7700TI 64MB.
[01:56] <xomp> crdlb, let me check :)
[01:56] <sudobash> but it is as simple as loading an INF file into ndiswrapper and making it active
[01:56] <sethk> trp;;tjat
[01:56] <Daworm> I saw some ubuntu references to v5.something and installing. But that's about it in google.
[01:56] <sethk> trollboy, that's the only one I see
[01:56] <Jack_Sparrow> crdlb: You seem to be very knowledgeable on these ati cards.  May we PM sometime?
[01:56] <bdancer> i'm trying to install wine on ubuntu 64bit, so apt want to install ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 and other 32-bit libs... but here http://wiki.winehq.org/UbuntuAMD64 said that wine have 64 bit packages and there is no need to download 32bit libs... so why apt want to download them? i add wine apt repository and run apt-get update
[01:56] <sethk> trollboy, if it's a laptop, make sure there isn't a switch that's turned off.
[01:56] <xomp> crdlb, Direct Rendering enabled: YES
[01:56] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, i doubt it as well, but it's worth a try
[01:57] <bkar> trollboy-> ls -la /sys/class/net  to confirm your nic names
[01:57] <crdlb> Jack_Sparrow: sure
[01:57] <sudobash> Back|track has support for most wireless cards maybe you can use the driver from that slackware distro but maybe not...
[01:57] <h1st0> Hrm.. I can't say anything trollboy is typing.
[01:57] <nugz1212> who do i set programs like gkrellm to launch automaticlly?
[01:57] <sudobash> maybe there is a port or your wireless drivers...
[01:57] <crdlb> xomp: well your card can't handle every effect (it just doesn't have the hardware for some features), but most of it should work pretty well :/
[01:57] <Ubunoob> I have a linksys wmp54g wireless card. it picks up the network, i just can't connect, any help would be grateful! =)
[01:57] <KrisWood> Ok I've done a few tutorials on setting up SVN for ubuntu, and I've got a problem; it seems that I've mixed stuff up and now none of it works. Does anyone know of an "idiot's guide" to setting up SVN for ubuntu? :-/
[01:57] <crdlb> xomp: for example, I'd suggest turning off wobby
[01:57] <jbuncher> If anyone is running a fully updated gutsy on an intel laptop chipset in here, can you run powertop and report the wakeups-per-second?
[01:58] <bkar> Ubunoob->  ls -la /sys/class/net  to confirm your nic names
[01:58] <sudobash> yeah i know that the wmp54g works in Back|Track from the live cd
[01:58] <xomp> crdlb, yeah, I disabled wobbly earlier today
[01:58] <sudobash> research what driver it is using
[01:58] <sethk> trollboy, unless it's a usb wireless, it's not detected.
[01:58] <Daworm> Jack_Sparrow, know of any possible switches I can use with the vid card? Unfortunately PC doesn't have onboard video :(
[01:58] <sudobash> and you might find an answer for your ubuntu box
[01:58] <sudobash> good luck
[01:58] <xomp> crdlb, I pretty much have just some animations enabled and that's it. Nothing else but my system is slow slow that when I type in xchat or notepad it can take 2 seconds for the display to catch up to what I'm doing heh
[01:58] <h1st0> xomp: what kind of cpu and mem
[01:59] <xomp> h1st0, not sure really :S
[01:59] <crdlb> xomp: join #compiz-fusion , I have an idea that might possibly help
[01:59] <mrnotproper> hi i've a little question, which file in etc that I can add a command for the starting of ubuntu ?
[01:59] <tritium> xomp: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[01:59] <buyaka> is it possible to get ubuntu to recognize when i plug in headphones to the front of the case and shut off the rear speakers accordingly?
[01:59] <sethk> mrnotproper, /etc/rc.local
[02:00] <mrnotproper> sethk: thanks
[02:00] <h1st0> buyaka: no
[02:00] <sethk> mrnotproper, np
[02:00] <xomp> model name      : Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.40GHz
[02:00] <h1st0> buyaka: unless they are usb headphones
[02:00] <Jack_Sparrow> One sec
[02:00] <trollboy> !ping
[02:00] <ubotu> ping: unknown host
[02:00] <buyaka> can it be done manually?
[02:00] <h1st0> buyaka: yes
[02:00] <h1st0> buyaka: exten right arm and turn off speakers
[02:01] <buyaka> lol
[02:01] <underpressure> minimizing Pidgin cause it to close, anyone else having this?
[02:01] <buyaka> yeah not exactly what i was looking for... my speakers dont have on/off or volume control
[02:01] <Erick> hello everyone
[02:01] <h1st0> buyaka: No but on a serious note the head phone jack has no way of telling what is plugged in or when.
[02:01] <hou5ton> I'm having trouble finding recent info on installing a webcam on Ubuntu .... any suggestions?
[02:02] <h1st0> !webcam > hou5ton,   hou5ton Read the private message from ubotu.
[02:02] <desertc> Anyone have an idea where the log files are for the physical mounting of an optical drive?
[02:02] <Jangari> buyaka, i dig, i have the same problem, if you hit the mute button, the sound is also muted through the headphones
[02:02] <tritium> desertc: all log files are in /var/log
[02:02] <h1st0> desertc: dmesg
[02:02] <Erick> wow, there is 1221 people here
[02:03] <h1st0> Erick: thats nothing
[02:03] <desertc> Okay, thanks - I did check there, but I wondered if I missed something.
[02:03] <buyaka> h1st0, well its *possible* it does it in windows.. i guess we just need better drivers
[02:03] <Jangari> i agree
[02:03] <sethk> Erick, might be 2 people and 1219 'bots  :)
[02:03] <Erick> on the wyldryde network, there is no more then 500 people in the busiest chat
[02:03] <h1st0> buyaka: then your soundcard is doing it.
[02:03] <buyaka> redhat should buy out a small electronics manufacturer
[02:03] <desertc> The optical drive is sputtering at a disc, and I am not sure what is going on with it.  Must not be getting to a software level, then.
[02:03] <h1st0> buyaka: I can tell you that my sound card does not no matter what OS
[02:03] <Jangari> okay, gotta get lunch, see you later folks
[02:04] <buyaka> see you
[02:04] <scott85653> I have a linksys wmp54g wireless card. it picks up the network, i just can't connect, any help would be grateful! =)
[02:04] <Jangari> hey, if you solve this headphone issue, keep e posted
[02:04] <Jangari> me*
[02:04] <desertc> buyaka: There are sound cards with open source drivers, it's just that people want their el-cheapo sound cards to work, too
[02:04] <h1st0> buyaka: I would search the forums maybe for your pc or sound card
[02:04] <sethk> scott85653, check whether you need to enter an encryption key
[02:04] <buyaka> ive got on-board sound ..
[02:04] <scott85653> sethk: it's WEP
[02:04] <Erick> why, when i load live desktop on Ubuntu, does it always have some kind of issue?
[02:05] <buyaka> in the process of doing that
[02:05] <trollboy> and I'm back
[02:05] <buyaka> overall though, feels great to be back on linux..its come far as a desktop
[02:05] <scott85653> hey sethk: I did this once before, i had to edit the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"
[02:05] <h1st0> buyaka: but that is definately controlled on a driver level and you may want to ask the alsa people
[02:05] <scott85653> but i cant find it anymore
[02:05] <trollboy> sethk: you get a chance to check out http://www.pastebin.ca/866974
[02:05] <scott85653> how do i get wireless working again?
[02:05] <h1st0> buyaka: /j #alsa
[02:05] <sethk> scott85653, I'm haven't done wep recently either.  probably someone else has.
[02:06] <scott85653> I removed ndiswrapper, and added it tot he blacklist. Any ideas>
[02:06] <sethk> trollboy, yes, I see only one network interface, the Marvel 88e8039, which I believe is wired, not wireless.
[02:06] <todkon> Does Ubuntu have a xconfig program?
[02:06] <sethk> todkon, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:06] <sethk> todkon, there's also a newer one that I can't remember  :)
[02:06] <todkon> thanks sethk
[02:07] <Lu_buntu> hello
[02:07] <sethk> todkon, as root, or with sudo
[02:07] <nugz1212> well hey
[02:07] <trollboy> sethk: the laptop has wireless
[02:07] <firefly2442> Is it possible to use an SSH tunnel to punch through a firewall to run UDP packets?
[02:07] <nugz1212> fixed my ETQW install error by myself
[02:07] <todkon> sethk: haha alright,
[02:07] <trollboy> this is a fresh install of ubuntu on it
[02:07] <sethk> trollboy, either it's disabled, or the kernel support for it isn't loaded or isn't compiled in or doesn't exist.
[02:07] <nugz1212> i feel like a 5 year old
[02:08] <sethk> trollboy, the thing is, if it's on the pci bus, it will show up on lspci no matter what
[02:08] <trollboy> sethk: how do I install kernel support for it?
[02:08] <Lu_buntu> dumb question...  how do I play .mov files in firefox?
[02:08] <Lu_buntu> comes up blank
[02:08] <bdancer> i'm trying to install wine on ubuntu 64bit, so apt want to install ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 and other 32-bit libs... but here http://wiki.winehq.org/UbuntuAMD64 said that wine have 64 bit packages and there is no need to download 32bit libs... so why apt want to download them? i add wine apt repository and run apt-get update
[02:08] <sethk> trollboy, thinking more carefully, it should show up with lspci without any kernel support
[02:08] <bdancer> and where can i get opera 9 64bit?
[02:08] <sethk> trollboy, could it be disabled, in the BIOS or with a switch?
[02:08] <trollboy> well, let me reboot and check the bios
[02:08] <trollboy> brb
[02:08] <sethk> trollboy, k
[02:09] <tsrk> Hi, I have a question about ircd:  I have set up a server, but I want to connect to it multiple ways (ip, hostname, etc).  Why does it need to know how I connect to it and can I set it to accept any connections?
[02:10] <Daworm> tsrk - if it's on your own home connection, I believe you would need a reverse DNS or setup a dyndns option.
[02:10] <UBUNTUISLOVED> anyone know if there is a slim no X(GUI) redhat based distro? likely less then 200mb like a stripped CENTOS distro? I need to do some testing and they dont use debian at work
[02:10] <tsrk> Ok, thanks.   One more question: How do I setup chanserv and nickserv?
[02:10] <kellie127> if anyone uses godaddy for V-dedicated please msg me what I should have for MX records....
[02:11] <Erick> i need help. upon trying to load off LiveCD, i get a screen full of "-bash: /dev/null: Permission denied" what is going on?
[02:11] <Daworm> tsrk - not sure on that count. Quick google leads me to : http://www.inspircd.org/forum/showthread.php?t=160
[02:12] <themoebius> whats an app I can use to detect what IP addresses are active on my local network?
[02:12] <hou5ton> ok ... regarding webcams .. I went to where ubuto said .... downloaded and read the readme file .... and it's WAY over my head .... talking about configuring the kernel and stuff like that.  Any other suggestions?

[02:15] <charlz> hi all how to configure mysql?
[02:16] <charlz> once it  installed what should i configure in MySQL
[02:16] <Daworm> charlz, did you read through the link above?
[02:17] <charlz> Daworm: yes but its too complicated. :)
[02:17] <Daworm> Then how will you learn? :)
[02:17] <Daworm> Pretty sure, if you just tell linux to get the packages etc. It'll be all done, then it's a matter of reading the info on what to change to secure it.
[02:18] <UBUNTUISLOVED> charlz: mysql can be configured here /etc/my.cnf
[02:18] <charlz> Daworm: yeah, time is running out for me, cause my client needs it immediately and dont have time to read all the manuals. :)
[02:18] <trollboy> the wireless switch is on
[02:19] <Daworm> Took me 10 minutes :) But gl with it.
[02:19] <trollboy> and still doesn't show up in lspci
[02:19] <tritium> charlz: don't your client deserve better?
[02:19] <taufiqur> hi there

[02:20] <Daworm> Jack_Sparrow : any other advice on the video card issue?
[02:20] <KrisWood> well that's strange, I could have swore I could do rmdir -r
[02:20] <UBUNTUISLOVED> !dvd
[02:20] <tritium> Roky: get libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repos.  That's the preferred option.
[02:21] <tritium> UBUNTUISLOVED: see above.  No need to repeat.
[02:21] <UBUNTUISLOVED> did see
[02:21] <xenthro> hey guys, my virtual terminals aren't functioning properly, I just get a black screen with a carriage blinking. any ideas?
[02:21]  * KrisWood shrugs and does rm -r instead
[02:21] <UBUNTUISLOVED> didnt i mean
[02:21] <fozze> anyone know of any guides on debugging defunct processes?
[02:21] <Roky> tritium already have

[02:21] <tritium> Roky: okay, then read the URL I had ubotu send you.
[02:22] <charlz> tritium: why i don't have /etc/my.cnf?
[02:22] <Roky> trtium I am right now
[02:22] <tritium> charlz: no idea

[02:23] <Daworm> try a locate
[02:23] <trollboy> lemme try a re-install
[02:23] <Daworm> when I did it, mine was called something else from memory.
[02:23] <UBUNTUISLOVED> charlz did you do a /etc/init.d/mysql start
[02:23] <charlz> Daworm: ok i find the my.cnf but how to fix this error? : ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

[02:26] <futeki> Yes. But some people sit their computers on their desktops...
[02:26] <Roky> zcat[1] I did the synaptic I already had the libdread3 file installed but reinstalled just incase, now I tryed this command "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh"
[02:26] <Roky> but It says command not found
[02:26] <Roky> I copied and pasted directly into terminal so i don't get it
[02:26] <charlz> guys what should i do if my MYSQL server failed to start?
[02:26] <KASE> anyone know about installing Linux on this T-Mobile MDA, which is running WM5
[02:27] <charlz> i have existing datas in MYSQL.
[02:27] <fozze> do init.d scripts run as root on bootup?
[02:27] <Celes> can someone help me please?
[02:27] <zcat[1]> Roky: please just do what I say. I can play dvd's .. you can't .. one of us knows how to do this and it isn't you.
[02:27] <Chinaski1> is it possible to make computer start up faster? like on mac osx, which starts in few seconds?
[02:27] <UBUNTUISLOVED> charlz: then do a debugging on it pm me
[02:27] <Roky> alriiight, then what do I do.
[02:27] <Celes> who knows ubuntu really well?
[02:27] <Chinaski1> i have ubuntu 7.10
[02:27] <zcat[1]> Roky: so, are you running synaptic yet?
[02:27] <Roky> yes
[02:27] <Roky> zcat[1] yes
[02:27] <astro76> !ask | Celes
[02:27] <ubotu> Celes: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[02:28] <zcat[1]> click 'search' button, and in the box type dvdcss
[02:28] <charlz> UBUNTUISLOVED: where should i start? don't have much knowledge in MYSQL.
[02:28] <Celes> Okay well  I had a crappy theme malfunction with my ubuntu.. so I wanted to reinstall it
[02:28] <UBUNTUISLOVED> charlz:  pm me
[02:28] <Celes> but it wouldnt allow me to have a new ubuntu user account thing
[02:28] <Celes> so in order to delete my old account I have to know the partition sizes
[02:29] <Celes> and that I dont know..
[02:29] <profx> how do I play DVDs, either in VLC or mplayer ?
[02:29] <Celes> Pleeease help!
[02:29] <zcat[1]> !dvd | profx
[02:29] <ubotu> profx: 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
[02:29] <Daworm> profx, just tell VLC to open the DVD (it's what I do on windows)
[02:29] <Daworm> then again, linux is obv diff.
[02:30] <jimmygoon> profx: open vlc and then hit "open" -> "Disc" -> "DVD w/ menus"
[02:30] <Celes> Do you guys even know the partition sizes?
[02:30] <Chinaski1> is it possible to make computer start up faster? like on mac osx, which starts in few seconds?i have a laptop with ubuntu 7.10
[02:30] <astro76> Celes: what does themes have to do with user accounts have to do with "partition sizes"? how do we know your partition sizes?
[02:30] <dcraven> Celes, good chance your sizes are different than ours.
[02:30] <jadacyrus> damn! having some a hard time, i screwed up my fglrx drivers now cant get them reinstalled properly without fglrxinfo reporting Mesa GLX Indirect
[02:31] <profx> jimmygoon, doesnt work
[02:31] <Daworm> Question to those that might be able to help.  Trying to install 7.10 onto a semi-old PC that runs win2k3 fine.  It goes through the initial load scripts then just as it reaches (what I assume it gets to) the GUI for going through the install. My screen goes black like it switches off from no signal.  Running an Asus V770TI 64MB  (yeah,old card)
[02:31] <Celes> in order to delete an old ubuntu account when you g o to manual to delete.. it wont let you delete unless you can factually tell the partition sizes
[02:31] <xenthro> profx it will not work until you install libdvdcss3
[02:31] <zcat[1]> profx: you probably need dvdcss2 (I presume you're trying to play a factord DVD, not one recorded at home?)
[02:31] <zcat[1]> *factory
[02:31] <xenthro> !dvd | profx
[02:31] <ubotu> profx: 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
[02:32] <astro76> Celes: you delete a user with 'userdel', what are you trying?
[02:32] <Aquahallic> Daworm: do you have an onboard video and a video card in a slot?
[02:32] <Erick> can anyone tell me why ubuntu LiveCD isnt working?
[02:32] <Daworm> no on board vid unfortunately.
[02:32] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, I found an old sound card I've never used. That worked wonders. I also threw a wireless card in, and that worked out-of-the-box
[02:32] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, problems solved
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: thats awesome.
[02:33] <profx> xenthro, i seen it the first time it was posted
[02:33] <ruggerit> IndyGunFreak, thanks for the help
[02:33] <zcat[1]> Roky: still here? If you did that search you should have a list of packages now.. one of them should say 'libdvdcss2' -- if it's not there' you probabl;y didn't add the medibuntu repo properly.. if it is there but the box next to it is white, you only need to click that and pick 'install' from the list now.
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: rule of thumb w/ linux.. if its old, its probably gonna work great
[02:33] <Aquahallic> Daworm: does your video card do multiple monitors?
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> ruggerit: no prob, wish we could have gotten it squared away a little easier
[02:33] <Daworm> Aquahallic - nope.
[02:33] <The_N3rd> Hey, I have an Idea, and google isnt turning much up.  Remote cd burning
[02:33] <andy_> Hi I have 7.10 ubuntu gnome desktop installed, but want to try out Xfce. Will everything go to hell if I install xubuntu-desktop on synaptic??? Will it just add Xfce to my desktop options?? or something more drastic?
[02:33] <Daworm> I can't find anything via google at this stage either.
[02:34] <Erick> i get tons of SQUASHFS errors
[02:34] <dcraven> andy_, option 2 :)
[02:34] <Celes> Okay im sorry guys
[02:34]  * zcat[1] is tired of trying to help people that ask for help and then they can skip half the steps for whatever random reason..
[02:34] <xenthro> profx I didnt though. without those libraries, no app will play dvd's
[02:34] <Celes> I have a better formatted question!
[02:34] <andy_> dcraven, sorry what is option 2?
[02:34] <dcraven> andy_, it will add xfce to your desktop options.
[02:34] <Breebo> andy_, installing Xfce shouldn't interfere with Gnome.
[02:34] <Celes> How does one delete old partitions on their ubuntu.. in order to get new ones!
[02:34] <The_N3rd> Like, the mac's are doing now.  Burning onto a remote disc drive.
[02:34] <eljimbo> does anyone here have any experience restoring an LVM volume?
[02:34] <profx> xenthro, ah, so your attempting to help yourself, not me, thanks
[02:35] <andy_> Thanks, I'll give it a try :-)
[02:35] <Erick> what do the tons of SQUSHFS errors mean?
[02:35] <releod> How do I enable VNC through the terminal?
[02:35] <astro76> !gparted | Celes
[02:35] <ubotu> Celes: GParted 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-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[02:35] <Celes> what does Gparted do?
[02:35] <The_N3rd> any Ideas??
[02:35] <xenthro> Celes creat/delete partitions
[02:35] <Roky> celes- its a partitioner
[02:35] <astro76> Celes: what you asked ;)
[02:35] <zcat[1]> profx: if you're trying to play regular 'factory' DVD's with region code on them, you MUST have libdvdcss2 installed.. otherwise you just cannot play them in ubuntu, with and player..
[02:36] <TylerJGillies> andy_, xfce is the bestest ever!
[02:36] <zcat[1]> *with any player
[02:36] <crabgrass> is there any kind of dvd-ripping channel in here?
[02:36] <mumra1> I'm having a problem with a SATA DVD burner.. none of my applications detect the drive.. ubuntu 7.10... any tips?
[02:36] <astro76> crabgrass: not on this network
[02:36] <TylerJGillies> releod, vncserver
[02:36] <xenthro> crabgrass, dvdrip is what I use... it is quite awesome. also get avidemux
[02:36] <zcat[1]> crabgrass: well, first you need to install libdvdcss2 (sigh) and then go install k9copy or dvdrip ..
[02:36] <crabgrass> astro76: damn, have any reccomendations on where to go?
[02:36] <profx> zcat[1], had it already, still not working
[02:36] <astro76> crabgrass: you can ask question here if it has to do with ubuntu and is legal ;)
[02:37] <releod> TylerJGillies: do I need to apt-get install vncserver?
[02:37] <KrisWood> ok mental note of the day, if you use a2ensite to enable a virtual directory, use a2dissite to disable it BEFORE deleting it >.<
[02:37] <crabgrass> xenthro, zcat[1]:  dvdrip was nothing but crap for me, i use vobcopy
[02:37] <releod> I have ssh access, trying to re-enable my vnc stuff
[02:37] <andy_> TylerJGillies: thanks, we'll see momentarily
[02:37] <TylerJGillies> releod, yeah
[02:37] <zcat[1]> profx: lindvdcss2 (NOT libdvdread3 although you need that as well) and the box next to it is grey?
[02:37] <TylerJGillies> andy_, i run it. i love it. has all the functionally of gnome but it runs way quicker
[02:37] <crabgrass> astro76: well, if i said i was outside the usa, would you help? :P
[02:37] <xenthro> crabgrass, shame, I have used it for dozens of dvd's
[02:37] <shockwaver> Is there a good (or more to the point, easy) way to limit bandwidth on a network interface?
[02:37] <JOINERIC> is anybody familiar on installing and configing an nvidia video card
[02:37] <xenthro> crabgrass there is also acidrip, but I have not used that
[02:37] <crabgrass> xenthro: i dunno what went wrong, but the audio never ever synched up
[02:38] <Celes> umm well.. the thing is how do you delete a partition on a not fully installed ubuntu?
[02:38] <zcat[1]> umm acidrip is for cd's isn't it, not dvd's
[02:38] <andy_> TylerJGillies: That's what I'm looking for :-)
[02:38] <Celes> it seems like a challenge.
[02:38] <xenthro> crabgrass have you used it recently? maybe an old version?
[02:38] <The_N3rd> No one is responding?
[02:38] <sethk> Celes, you can boot the live cd and use fdisk
[02:38] <anton_> quick question. I'm new so.... how do install a desctop theme that i downloaded from internet
[02:38] <TylerJGillies> andy_, the xfce terminal is way quicker than gnome-terminal also
[02:38] <astro76> Celes: get the gparted livecd from the link ubotu gave you
[02:38] <crabgrass> maybe one of you in here knows how to extract subtitles from a dvd to .srt?
[02:38] <Celes> really?
[02:38] <astro76> Celes: it's also on the ubuntu livecd
[02:38] <crabgrass> xenthro: it's the latest one in synaptic...
[02:38] <Daworm> Aquahallic - any advice? Is there a cmd line switch I can use to use some dodge generic basic vid driver??
[02:38] <profx> zcat[1], like I said, its already installed
[02:39] <nugz1212> okay
[02:39] <andy_> TylerJGillies: rebooting now for the first time, bye bye
[02:39] <nugz1212> no i have problems setting up my usb headset
[02:39] <Daworm> I have installed Ubuntu 5.10 previously without an issue fwiw
[02:39] <xenthro> crabgrass about the ripping subtitles, I have done it before but I used a windows app through wine...
[02:39] <zcat[1]> I dunno, but in the last three versions of ubuntu I've just used k9copy.. pop the CD in, check the boxes, click the 'dvd' button and it goes and makes an ISO file out of it.. only had one 'copy protected' disk that it couldn't do so far..
[02:39] <nugz1212> when i click test on the sound setup, i can hear the input, but i get this error http://pastebin.ca/867023
[02:39] <profx> ah, I got it now
[02:39] <Celes> which one do I dl astro76 ?
[02:39] <badkitty> attempting an ubuntu liveUSB install  <---
[02:40] <crabgrass> xenthro: yeah, that's where i was headed, but i like to avoid wine if at all possible.
[02:40] <The_N3rd> Hey, I have an Idea, and google isnt turning much up.  Remote cd burning
[02:40] <nugz1212> and then no other program can record it
[02:40] <crabgrass> xenthro: i know mplayer can read them, is there some way to pipe that to a file?
[02:40] <zcat[1]> The_N3rd: remote like how? ssh -X to the box with the burner and run whatever you want (cdrecord, k3b, whatever) ?
[02:41] <TylerJGillies> how much do you think someone would buy an ISA soundcard for?
[02:41] <nugz1212> can someone help me?
[02:41] <The_N3rd> yes, ssh would be a good place to start
[02:41] <xenthro> crabgrass i remembner looking for answers to your questions about a year ago and i couldn't do anything with wine... I dont know how to "pipe" it to mplayer but you should check out an mplayer channel
[02:41] <TylerJGillies> !question | nugz1212
[02:41] <ubotu> nugz1212: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[02:41] <JOINERIC> i have installed a new nvidia 8800GT, i have reinstalled the new nvidia drivers but it still looks like crap
[02:41] <nugz1212> ?
[02:41] <VvWolverinevV> hi, how do i open a port to listen on in ubuntu?
[02:41] <xenthro> crabgrass I meant anything without wine
[02:41] <crabgrass> xenthro: alright, will do.
[02:41] <nugz1212> so i cant ask a support question?
[02:42] <sethk> nugz1212, sure you can, why not?
[02:42] <KrisWood> if I wanted to uninstall apache and reinstall it how would I go about that using apt?
[02:42] <crabgrass> xenthro: actually, the only part i can't get so far is the subs. everything else works dandy
[02:42] <zcat[1]> JOINERIC: 8800gt is painful to get going, you have to use nvidia's binary installer.. nvidia-glx-new isn't 'new' enough yet
[02:42] <TylerJGillies> VvWolverinevV, listen for what?
[02:42] <Breebo> VvWolverine, what service are you planning to use in regards to the port that you want to listen on?
[02:42] <astro76> VvWolverinevV: you install a server... ports are not closed by default
[02:42] <nugz1212> i dont know i jsut got flagged for doing it
[02:42] <sethk> nugz1212, but until you ask, nobody can answer
[02:42] <xenthro> crabgrass I too have always had problems with subs... on any OS
[02:42] <Carbonflux> what is the best way to connect two ubuntu 7.10 machines that are on the same LAN? they both have static IP's also.
[02:42] <crabgrass> xenthro: dvd to divx + all audio to mkv
[02:42] <sethk> nugz1212, I missed that, I guess.  ask.
[02:42] <nugz1212> when i click test on the sound setup, i can hear the input, but i get this error http://pastebin.ca/867023
[02:42] <The_N3rd> For example [laptop w/o burner] <==ssh==> [computer w/ burner]
[02:42] <crabgrass> xenthro: it might not even be worth it, i'll use the dub.
[02:42] <KrisWood> nevermind I found it, apt-get remove
[02:42] <VvWolverinevV> tylerjgillies, astro76: UDP port for listening in azureus
[02:43] <nugz1212> i already asked the question
[02:43] <TylerJGillies> VvWolverinevV, configure your router
[02:43] <zcat[1]> JOINERIC: and also you have to remove the ubuntu package that keeps trying to reconfigure it.. I forget the name though.. someone here might remember it
[02:43] <VvWolverinevV> TylerJGillies: done
[02:43] <mumra1> problem with SATA dvd drive
[02:43] <mumra1> any help?
[02:43] <JOINERIC> zcat[1], yeah i already installed that but i have to reconfig every time i reboot and it looks like crap, is there no way around it
[02:43] <mumra1> pleeeeasssseeee
[02:43] <sethk> nugz1212, somethings running without admin privileges.  try using sudo to start the program, or sometimes there is a button like "administrator mode"
[02:43] <nugz1212> im in root right now
[02:43] <TylerJGillies> VvWolverinevV, then azureus should do port control
[02:43] <zcat[1]> JOINERIC: yeah, there's a package that does the reconfiguring, but I can't remember the name :(
[02:43] <JOINERIC> zcat[1], i see
[02:43] <astro76> !ask | mumra1
[02:43] <ubotu> mumra1: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[02:43] <nugz1212> same problem
[02:44] <VvWolverinevV> TylerJGillies: it's not
[02:44] <TylerJGillies> VvWolverinevV, i don't know then, i use a console bit torrent app
[02:44] <sethk> nugz1212, I'v not seen that, unfortunately.  you might try doing a forced reinstall of the sound subsystem.
[02:44] <nugz1212> and how do i do tht
[02:44] <zcat[1]> anyone else know? what's the package you have to remove when you're not using the packaged nvidia drivers?
[02:44] <VvWolverinevV> TylerJGillies: such as?
[02:44] <crabgrass> thanks for all the help and knowledge
[02:44] <sethk> nugz1212, which is kind of like telling you to reboot when I don't know what's going on  :)
[02:44] <sethk> nugz1212, in synaptic
[02:44] <nugz1212> k
[02:44] <The_N3rd> zcat[1], could you elaborate a little more on the ssh burning idea?
[02:45] <TylerJGillies> VvWolverinevV, rtorrent
[02:45] <hou5ton> i have my webcam working, but skype isn't functioning with it ... even though skype lists it as being there.  Also, skype will use the microphone on the webcam
[02:45] <astro76> The_N3rd: on the laptop you do ssh -X or ssh -Y, which opens a shell, and you can launch gui apps which run on the desktop
[02:45] <recon> I opened irssi in a non-screen shell. Is there any way to transfer it over to screen without closing it?
[02:45] <Celes> astro76, you never told me which link to click for the correct dl!
[02:45] <xenthro> hou5ton, if you are using the 1.4 version, it will not work. you will need to get the 2.0 version
[02:46] <mikeylikesit5805> hi all what is "buffer i/o error on device fd0 logical block0
[02:46] <The_N3rd> okay, but how do i pip an image to it?
[02:46] <The_N3rd> *pipe
[02:46] <releod> TylerJGillies: how do I view my servers desktop from Leopard? I installed VNCServer and started it up...
[02:46] <nugz1212> oh, gconf package shows as not being installed
[02:46] <zcat[1]> The_N3rd: you can 'ssh -X' to any machine with an ssh server and run any program remotely.. even graphical ones.
[02:46] <Daworm> How do I do a command line install of ubuntu? Might try that and see if it'll load to the OS after install. Somehow I doubt it though :(
[02:46] <astro76> Celes: there was only one
[02:46] <hou5ton> xenthro:   I have the 2.0.0.27 version
[02:46] <astro76> !gparted | Celes
[02:46] <ubotu> Celes: GParted 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-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[02:46] <The_N3rd> yes, yes, I understand that
[02:46] <TylerJGillies> releod, you do xvncviewer <server hostname>
[02:46] <xenthro> hou5ton, can't help then. sorry
[02:46] <zcat[1]> JOINERIC: I think the package you want to remove is displayconf-gtk .. but I might be wrong :)
[02:46] <Celes> ubotu. I dont have ubuntu installed right now
[02:47] <releod> TylerJGillies: thanks
[02:47] <astro76> The_N3rd: you need to transfer it to the desktop machine first
[02:47] <Celes> I cant sudo apt - get ><
[02:47] <superwtf> man wireless support for kubuntu 7.10 is hopeless :S
[02:47] <TylerJGillies> releod, welcome
[02:47] <stelt> Why don't i see all the bugs i've reported when checking launchpad.net ?
[02:47] <astro76> The_N3rd: I wouldn't trust transferring over network while burning
[02:47] <Celes> http or ftp
[02:47] <Celes> From SF
[02:47] <Celes> Alternative download source : torrent
[02:47] <Celes> which one?
[02:47] <jay-oh-en> !flash
[02:47] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[02:47] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[02:47] <superwtf> it cant even pick up the godam wep network -.-
[02:47] <The_N3rd> I was hoping i could find a differnt way than that.  Say, mounting a remote device.
[02:47] <astro76> Celes: ? it doesn't matter
[02:48] <Celes> Okay..
[02:48] <TylerJGillies> jay-oh-en, any idea when we're supposed to get an official flash fix?
[02:48] <xenthro> superwtf type "iwconfig" in a terminal and see if there is anything there
[02:48] <zcat[1]> The_N3rd: there are also websites that will download and OSS iso for you and mail it out on CD or DVD for a small cost, eg kiaoracd.org.nz :)
[02:48] <jay-oh-en> TylerJGillies: no idea i wish soon
[02:48] <The_N3rd> no, that is not a problem.  It is proof of concept for me
[02:48] <superwtf> xenthro, im was going to install the live cd of kubuntu, but i got nothing man, i dont have the net while on the live cd so no hope really
[02:48] <TylerJGillies> jay-oh-en, amen
[02:49] <superwtf> it picks up the card
[02:49] <superwtf> but not the network -.-
[02:49] <KrisWood> I've got a problem. I'm trying to get apache2 and svn configured on my server and have been going through tutorials on the net and I think I've mixed them up and now apache won't even start anymore. Could anyone help me straighten it out? :(
[02:49] <mumra1> my SATA DVD drive isn't being properly detected by ubuntu, anyone else having this problem?
[02:49] <Some_Person> When the hell will there be a Settings button in gnome-screensaver?!
[02:49] <nugz1212> k im reinstalling the alsa sound server
[02:49] <zcat[1]> What's the holdup with fixing the flash installer, surely it can't be that difficult to do a later package with the correct md5 in it!
[02:49] <xenthro> superwtf what chipset/model is your wifi?
[02:50] <nugz1212> i was thinking it was in gconf thing since the error did say gconf
[02:50] <releod> TylerJGillies: sorry - Im confused.. I want to view my ubuntu's desktop from my leopard laptop.. vncserver is installed on ubuntu.. not sure what to do on leopard though..
[02:50] <The_N3rd> But is there a way to WRITE to an remotely mounted optical drive?
[02:50] <The_N3rd> would I have to mount something form /dev, or /media? or is that not the way to go?
[02:50] <chickin> xenthro, I thought you said: "what chipset/model is your wife?" :P
[02:50] <TylerJGillies> releod, xvncviewer from leopard terminal. or download "chicken of the vnc" its a good OS X vnc viewer
[02:50] <superwtf> ralink rt73
[02:50] <zcat[1]> The_N3rd: not the way to do it..
[02:50] <Celes> is Gparted hard to use?
[02:51] <astro76> The_N3rd: the way we said does what you want, you could mount a share from the laptop on the desktop and do it that way, but I wouldn't recommend it
[02:51] <superwtf> works real well in gnome, i got wpapsk, but kubuntu is hopeless
[02:51] <luis> hello all, how do I activate the animations and such in Ubuntu 7.10?
[02:51] <xenthro> chickin pleasure model, clearly
[02:51] <releod> TylerJGillies: okay, do you know if xvncviewer is in port?
[02:51] <The_N3rd> It is an interesting Idea though.
[02:51] <chickin> xenthro; lol :P
[02:51] <The_N3rd> The problem is getting passthrough
[02:51] <TylerJGillies> releod, its in fink don't know if its in port, probably is
[02:51] <stelt> luis, animations where?
[02:51] <Some_Person> When the hell will there be a Settings button in gnome-screensaver?!
[02:51] <luis> like the sube and such?
[02:51] <luis> cube*
[02:52] <chickin> some_person are you asking?
[02:52] <TylerJGillies> releod, chicken of the vnc is free and a better gui
[02:52] <chimp> Sometimes when i restart x, via ctrl-alt-backspace, when i login all that happens in the login box disapears and then it just sits there, i end up having to reboot to fix it, why?
[02:52] <releod> TylerJGillies: alright, I will check that one out then
[02:52] <zcat[1]> Some_Person: when you write the code for it? :)
[02:52] <IdleOne> Some_Person: soon as you change your attitude and language. or when you add it to the app perhaps :)
[02:52] <JMhaha> hi everybody, look at open mosix and found it is still using kernel 2.4, anybody know any clustering packages supports ubuntu gutsy?
[02:52] <Some_Person> I am a user, not a developer
[02:52] <badkitty> SWEET! I got my liveusb to work.. Ubuntu on USB w000t
[02:52] <Some_Person> I just don't have the time
[02:52] <KrisWood> ok no takers on that one I guess...
[02:52] <hou5ton> anyone know who to ghost a linux drive onto an external harddrive that is formated with ntfs?
[02:52] <TylerJGillies> Some_Person, you use linux, you are a now a developer whether you like it or not ;)
[02:53] <KrisWood> how do I get my apache config files back to their defaults?
[02:53] <chickin> some_person, usually when you curse when saying some_thing people think your joking  :/
[02:53] <JOINERIC> zcat[1]: thanks
[02:53] <VvWolverinevV> astro76: it seems that my ports are closed, how do i open them?
[02:53] <zcat[1]> Some_Person: it's a feature I'd like to see as well, but nobody seems in a hurry to add it...
[02:53] <The_N3rd> Here, this is what i was thinking:  http://www.mail-archive.com/macfuse-devel@googlegroups.com/msg00354.html
[02:53]  * chickin is selling his legs for 2.99 each!
[02:53] <VvWolverinevV> astro76: (or one of them :P)
[02:53] <Some_Person> No, but seriously, ubuntu has been without one since Dapper
[02:53] <badkitty> KrisWood You are supposed to make backups as you go
[02:53] <Darkmystere> Where would i get a Bootmenu Theme?
[02:53] <astro76> VvWolverinevV: they aren't, unless you have messed with iptables or firestarter
[02:53] <VvWolverinevV> astro76: firestarter
[02:53] <KrisWood> badkitty, thanks for the tip -.-
[02:53] <astro76> VvWolverinevV: it's either your router or azureus
[02:53] <sethk> Some_Person, use kde, it has all that stuff
[02:54] <zcat[1]> Some_Person: you can go back to the old screensaver package still, I beleive
[02:54] <badkitty> KrisWood: sorry
[02:54] <astro76> VvWolverinevV: then I guess you need to use firestarter to open ports
[02:54] <patogen> How do I run gnome application finder outside gnome? :P
[02:54] <Some_Person> I do not like KDE
[02:54] <IdleOne> Some_Person: we are all users/devs in our own way
[02:54] <chickin> does ubuntu have good screen savers?
[02:54] <Terren> hello.
[02:54] <badkitty> chickin: Yep
[02:54] <Some_Person> No, I never develop anything
[02:54] <misslecommander> chicken, yes, the screen savers are very nice
[02:54] <IdleOne> hello Terren
[02:54] <rdavis> They have one that uses your idle cycles to answer the question to Life The Universe and Everything.
[02:54] <chimp> Surely its better to just turn off the screen and save energy rather than a screen saver?
[02:54] <VvWolverinevV> astro76: got it thanks :D
[02:55] <zcat[1]> chickin: they'd be better if there was a way to access all the options without having to edit obscure textfile config :(
[02:55] <mattholimeau> does anyone know what config it is that makes an ssh terminal's title change to the user and hostname of the session?
[02:55] <chickin> badkitty ah thx, I'm installing ubuntu thats why i ask, I'm trying to enter ubuntu informed :) would want a leg? only 2.99!
[02:55] <Some_Person> which is the problem, i mean, how the hell do you use gltext without config?
[02:55] <astro76> Some_Person: you can install xscreensaver, or complain to the Gnome people
[02:55] <mattholimeau> it seems dependent upon the server i'm ssh'ing into
[02:55] <misslecommander> zcat[1]: you can customize them ?
[02:55] <TylerJGillies> VvWolverinevV, what was the problem?
[02:55] <chickin> zcat[1] that sucks
[02:55] <mattholimeau> i'm wondering what i can change on the remote server to have it do that or not.
[02:55] <Some_Person> how do i contact the GNOME team (preferably through irc)?
[02:55] <luis> how do you enable the animations and effects from compizconfig on ubuntu?
[02:55] <Billster> hello can someone help me with my menu I am running Gusty and I seem to have removed just the part of the menu that allowed me access to Accessories, Games, Internet, etc...
[02:56] <zcat[1]> misslecommander: yes, a lot. there are many many config options but ubuntu doesn't have an easy way to get to them :(
[02:56] <VvWolverinevV> TylerJGillies: i was running firestarter haha, and i just figured out how to open ports
[02:56] <Carbonflux> what is the best way to connect two ubuntu 7.10 machines that are on the same LAN? they both have static IP's also.
[02:56] <The_N3rd> astro76: I suppose I could ask around on the ubuntu forums and see if anyone has any ideas
[02:56] <TylerJGillies> VvWolverinevV, gotcha
[02:56] <chickin> misslecommander have you been on ubuntu chat room all day?! i've seen you every time i'm on!
[02:56] <rdavis> Just re-add Gnome Panel.
[02:56] <zcat[1]> Carbonflux: install ssh package, and use ssh / scp to connect and move files around
[02:56] <Carbonflux> I do have the ssh command
[02:56] <Terren> wow
[02:56] <TylerJGillies> chickin, some people never leave. i leave my irc client on my server going 24/7
[02:57] <Carbonflux> but I don't see a ssh service running
[02:57] <IdleOne> Billster: can you still see Applications and Panel?
[02:57] <chickin> misslecommander ah nvm, I just saw you log on! :/ stupid me
[02:57] <astro76> The_N3rd: for what?
[02:57] <Carbonflux> so there is more that I need to install then is installed by defult zcat[1] ?
[02:57] <zcat[1]> Carbonflux: ssh package installs the ssh server
[02:57] <misslecommander> i had question concerning Services. i have AMD=Powernow capable AMD-Mobile. it is doing what the forums said: irratic speed changes, do i need this service running. i have good cooling on my box ?
[02:57] <IdleOne> Billster: I meant Places not Panel
[02:57] <chickin> tylerjgillies ah but (stupid me) he just logged on! :/
[02:57] <Billster> no I found a ying/yang icon that does the job but its not the same
[02:57] <Carbonflux> thanks zcat[1]...is there a UI or conf file for it also ? I assume there must be heh
[02:57] <zcat[1]> Carbonflux: alternatively, just right-click and choose to share a folder, it will offer to install smb and nfs for you..
[02:58] <misslecommander> chicken: i come often yes. alot of times just reading
[02:58] <Carbonflux> zcat[1], is that safe ?
[02:58] <zcat[1]> Carbonflux: yes, but the defaults are probably what you want.
[02:58] <The_N3rd> atro76: more ideas.  I'm sure this remote idea is possible.
[02:58] <IdleOne> Billster: right click on the panel itself and click add to pannel in the window you will find what you are looking for. just drag it onto the panel
[02:58] <zcat[1]> Carbonflux: depends.. if your network is behind a typical 'nat' broadband connection, it's completely safe
[02:58] <chimp> Sometimes when i restart x, via ctrl-alt-backspace, when i login all that happens in the login box disapears and then it just sits there, i end up having to reboot to fix it, why? (sorry for repeat)
[02:58] <misslecommander> do i need the PowernowD to be running? i used the panel applet, and it jumps just as the bug says
[02:58] <Terren>  :D
[02:58] <chickin> is there anything for ubuntu that would be like windows blinds?
[02:58] <Billster> ok then thanks
[02:59] <TylerJGillies> chickin, themes
[02:59] <rdavis> Chickin, go to gnome-look.org
[02:59] <The_N3rd> compiz fusion and beryl!
[02:59] <Roky> Ca someone help me get ubuntu working correctly so I can watch a dvd on my desktop?
[02:59] <zcat[1]> Carbonflux: ssh and scp are much safer though .. but not as easy as drag-and-drop shared folders in gnome
[02:59] <rdavis> Tons of themes to install.
[02:59] <astro76> The_N3rd: no you can't mount the optical drive remotely and write to it, at all.. ssh -X does exactly what you want, and you could pretty easily transfer the .iso while you are burning but it would be *much* better to just transfer it first
[02:59]  * TylerJGillies graphics card is too old to support compiz :(
[02:59] <chickin> tylerjgillies ah! I am downloading ubuntu right now, just have some thoughts floating in my head :)
[02:59] <lewis> i am new to ubuntu and need someone to walk me through how to set up my wireless atheros card
[02:59] <rdavis> Roky, go to the Ubuntu Guide and look up DVD playback.
[02:59] <rdavis> google seach "ubuntu guide"
[02:59] <Some_Person> And yes, I am aware that there is an app called "xFX Screensaver Settings" which adds a "Settings" button, but it is buggy as hell!
[02:59] <IdleOne> !dvd | Roky
[02:59] <ubotu> Roky: 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
[03:00] <chickin> rdavis ok, maybe later :)
[03:00] <Carbonflux> thanks zcat[1], all my machines have static IPs and connect thru a DSL modem thru a ethernet hub, fairly standard I think, thanks for the info :)
[03:00] <lewis> can anyone help me?
[03:00] <TylerJGillies> anyone in here use wubi before?
[03:00] <astro76> The_N3rd: the writing software *must* be running on the machine with the optical drive
[03:00] <IdleOne> !wifi | lewis
[03:00] <ubotu> lewis: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:00] <The_N3rd> astro76:like i said, it's the concept.
[03:00] <TylerJGillies> !complaining | Some_Person
[03:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about complaining - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:00] <misslecommander> lewis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[03:00] <Rian-Davide> hey Im trying to connect to my wireless internet and I can't seem to for some reason, its got a wpa encryption I believe, how do I connect to it?
[03:00] <chickin> some_person, you manage to use "hell" in almost every sentence :P
[03:00] <lewis> i read that and am still confused
[03:00]  * TylerJGillies kicks ubotu 
[03:01] <Some_Person> Oh bloody hell, I guess I do
[03:01] <IdleOne> !language | Some_Person
[03:01] <ubotu> Some_Person: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[03:01] <p1> Hi, after my computer resumes from suspend, sound does not work.  If I remove and reinsert the driver module it works again.  I listed the module under MODULES in /etc/default/acpi-support, but that did not help
[03:01] <Carbonflux> zcat[1], nice, I already have it working heh
[03:01] <rdavis> Davide, Google search the hell outta ndiswrapper, ubuntu and wireless.
[03:01] <lewis> can anyone go private with me and help me?
[03:01] <jeremi23> :d hi
[03:01] <jeremi23> ;d
[03:01] <Rian-Davide> yea I use ndiswrapper too
[03:01] <zcat[1]> Carbonflux: ssh -X lets you run GUI apps on the remote host too.. very powerful concept!
[03:01] <lewis> hello?
[03:01] <misslecommander> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:02]  * The_N3rd waves goodbye!
[03:02] <chimp> lewis people prefer if you talk in here, that way if others share your problem they can read, and multiple people can here
[03:02] <IdleOne> later The_N3rd
[03:02] <chimp> can help*
[03:02]  * The_N3rd explodes!
[03:02] <lewis> misslecommander, i tried reading wifi docs and was confused
[03:03] <Carbonflux> zcat[1], that is nice, exactly what I wanted.  :)
[03:03] <IdleOne> lewis: ask a specific question and someone might be able to help you
[03:03] <rdavis> Like, "Why did the Giants kicker just miss the FG?"
[03:03] <rdavis> Answer "Bad snap + nerves"
[03:03] <jason0_> Trying to rip an audio cd using grip but the first track doesn't rip correctly. Is this a copy protection mechanism?
[03:03] <IdleOne> !offtopic | rdavis
[03:03] <ubotu> rdavis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:03] <Some_Person> And I do not want to remove gnome-screensaver and use xscreensaver, because it removes ubuntu-desktop, which might make all hell break loose when upgrading
[03:04] <zcat[1]> easy answer to wifi issues, buy a cheap pc card or USB adapter that's known to be well supported .. much easier than messing with ndiswrapper or fwcutter :)
[03:04] <misslecommander> lewis: i can understand, i was when i first read it too. check System/Administration/Network nad Network Tools. those will probably help you most
[03:04] <TylerJGillies> !gnash
[03:04] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[03:04] <IdleOne> Some_Person: you have this habit of using the word hell. please stop. and you can always re-install ubuntu-desktop later
[03:04] <misslecommander> lewis: by default, my wireless card wasnt "enabled" its probably the same for alot of users.
[03:04] <chimp> Ok as i said before, i cant log in graphically atm until i reboot, i also tried doing /etc/init.d/gdm restart, however that did not help and i still cant log in graphically
[03:05] <rdavis> Gnash is bad, don't use it.
[03:05] <sk_> Hello!
[03:05] <p1> Hi, after my computer resumes from suspend, sound does not work.  If I remove and reinsert the driver module it works again.  I listed the module under MODULES in /etc/default/acpi-support, but that did not help
[03:05] <lewis> it is enabled
[03:05] <Some_Person> ...which would put back gnome-screensaver and cause hell between it and xscreensaver
[03:05] <TylerJGillies> rdavis, why?
[03:05] <sk_>  Trying to free already-free IRQ 0 ; bcm43xx: IRQ_READY timeout  How can I fix this ?!?
[03:05] <misslecommander> lewis: in Network, double-click Wireless connection, configure to your routers, then make sure box is checked
[03:05] <zcat[1]> rdavis: use it, and file many, many bug reports at the developers.. then it will be less bad!
[03:05] <rdavis> Developmental pains, when Flash 9 is made and available for Linux.  Sometimes we have to get down from out high horses and use what's best.
[03:05] <misslecommander> lewis: that is most basic, and certainly needed
[03:05] <rdavis> And sometimes what's OSS isn't what's best./
[03:06] <Dr_willis> 'best' can be a vague term in the best of times... :P

[03:06] <misslecommander> lewis: i see users fidlle around with terminal commands, when thier card hasnt even been anabled, so all kids of errors come about. make sure its enabled and it shows up first
[03:06] <erat123_> hi all
[03:06] <rdavis> No. It's usephemy.
[03:06] <dattfill> i try copy and paste any file in ubuntu feisty fawn but i cant do it
[03:06] <sk_>  Trying to free already-free IRQ 0 ; bcm43xx: IRQ_READY timeout  How can I fix this ?!?
[03:06] <sk_> :(
[03:07] <shockwaver> Is there a good (or more to the point, easy) way to limit bandwidth on a network interface?
[03:07] <rdavis> It's like medicine: you use what's indicated, not some holostic garbage because it's hip.
[03:07] <TylerJGillies> dattfill, how are you doing it?
[03:07] <chimp> Not necesarrily rdavis, it may not be great yet, but give it time and it could be just like many OSS projects
[03:07] <dattfill> i try copy and paste any file in ubuntu feisty fawn but i cant do it
[03:07] <misslecommander> shockwave: there is commercial applications that do that, but very expensive
[03:07] <dattfill>   TylerJGillies
[03:07] <KrisWood> alright I've got my apache repaired, now, can anyone please point me to an idiot's guide to installing and configuring subversion?
[03:07] <was_chickin> tylerjgillies did someone kick me?
[03:07] <shockwaver> I just want to limit the upstream on my wireless card to like.. 100kbs
[03:08] <TylerJGillies> dattfill, what method are you using to copy?
[03:08] <rdavis> That's my point, though, chimp: there isn't necessarily a need for the project.  The software makers make a *nix version, so why try and re-invent the already free (as in beer) weel?
[03:08] <dattfill> i am in desktop and i like copy example foto.jpg to /media/sd1/my files
[03:08] <rdavis> (and an "h" there)
[03:08] <misslecommander> shockwave: i cant think of the names off-hand, but a search of google > throttle bandwidth, or bandwidth management
[03:08] <dattfill> and i dont get paste command with right buttom
[03:08] <TylerJGillies> was_chickin, no
[03:09] <dattfill> please help me
[03:09] <zcat[1]> rate-limiting is built into iptables.. you just need the right command to turn it on (and no, I don't know the right command)
[03:09] <misslecommander> shockwave: also check google > bandwidth shaper, or bandwidth shaping
[03:09] <was_chickin> tylerjgillies my client must have froze, I disconnected but im still here, wierd
[03:09] <Daworm> Is installing from liveCD normally so deathly slow??
[03:09] <erat123_> i just got bitchx installed and running.  anyone know of a good faq where i can find more info on it?
[03:09] <TylerJGillies> was_chickin, that happens a lot of times on irc. you'll timeout in a sec
[03:09] <p1> After my computer resumes from sleep, sound does not work.  If I remove and reinsert the driver module it works again.  I listed the module under MODULES in /etc/default/acpi-support, but that did not help.
[03:10] <dattfill> please who can help me send private
[03:10] <misslecommander> was_chicken: are you using the linux-box you wanted to fix ?
[03:10] <was_chickin> tylerjgillies, ah, can someone kick my old client?

[03:12] <misslecommander> was_chicken: do the basics, you have to anyways: make sure card is enabled > Network , double-click Wireless connection, and setup
[03:13] <davidthedrake> If I install a different Desktop environment such as XFce, will that mess with my settings for Gnome?
[03:13] <functionofxy> can anyone recommend a cad program for linux similar to/compatible with autodesk inventor and autocad?

[03:13] <soldats> was_chickin, you shouldnt ask questions like that here, there are irc ops everywhere :)
[03:13] <lewis> i show a minus sign for my wireless connection, how do i get it connected?
[03:13] <was_chickin> tritum im trying to kick my frozen client so i can use it's name
[03:13] <dattfill> when i enter with root user i get the same

[03:14] <soldats> was_chickin, what are you using right now
[03:14] <was_chickin> tritum I don't think it's reg.
[03:14] <IdleOne> tritium: nickserv handles ghost
[03:14] <lewis> any help?
[03:14] <zcat[1]> misslecommander: shaper configures linux's inbuilt firewall code to limit the network traffic ..
[03:14] <davidthedrake> techgeek40, Starnestommy : thanks, that's what I thought.
[03:14] <was_chickin> soldats was_chickin
[03:14] <tritium> IdleOne: yeah, that's what I meant ;)
[03:14] <IdleOne> :P
[03:14] <misslecommander> lewis: if it shows minus sign, its not enabled, double-click it, and setup according to your router
[03:14] <moriba> hello need help creating an iso dvd video image from mpgs? is it possible without making any conversions?

[03:15] <was_chickin> dave2 how long will that take?
[03:15] <Dave2> was_chickin, it varies.
[03:15] <misslecommander> lewis: then after setting the configuration, make sure the box is checked. the minus sign will become a box after setting it up
[03:15] <Starnestommy> was_chickin: 10 minutes to a couple hours, I think
[03:15] <badkitty> moriba: not to my knowledge
[03:15] <soldats> was_chickin, to kick a name just use /msg ghost <[asswprd>

[03:16] <charlz> hi all how to manually configure a lancard for ip address?
[03:16] <zcat[1]> 'never twice the same colour' ? :)
[03:16] <IdleOne> ghost command does not depend on the nick being registered. it looks at the host and of the host matches then it will kill that nick/host
[03:16] <Starnestommy> was_chickin: /msg nickserv ghost password
[03:16] <tritium> was_chickin: /msg nickserv ghost <nick> <password>
[03:16] <Dave2> IdleOne, no, it doesn't
[03:16] <jrib> dattfill: what filesystem is on sda1?
[03:16] <misslecommander> zcat[1]: how do i know if the built-in firewall is active? and where can i set it up to conform to my needs ?
[03:16] <Starnestommy> was_chickin: er, /msg nickserv ghost nickname password
[03:17] <IdleOne> Dave2: well it should
[03:17] <charlz> is there any special command?
[03:17] <soldats> was_chickin, look up i missed nickserv, see what Starnestommy wrote to recover your nick
[03:17] <lewis> should my connection name be lo, eth0 or ath0:avahi?
[03:17] <dattfill> mmmm i cant copy and paste anyfile in anydirectory
[03:17] <functionofxy> can anyone recommend a cad program for linux similar to/compatible with autodesk inventor?
[03:17] <Dave2> IdleOne, I don't see why it should; I can see that being open to abuse.
[03:17] <dattfill> sda1 hda1 hda2 i cant copy and paste
[03:17] <tritium> functionofxy: qcad, if you only need 2D CAD
[03:17] <was_chickin> starnetommy does that mean it has to be registered?
[03:17] <misslecommander> lewis: if you see those, your card should work. make sure the box is checked now

[03:18] <jrib> !who | dattfill
[03:18] <ubotu> dattfill: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[03:18] <Starnestommy> was_chickin: yes
[03:18] <zcat[1]> misslecommander: I geuss read up on how shaper works.. edit the config file.. I hafta go anyhow, someone in here will be able to help you
[03:18] <IdleOne> Dave2: hence the creation of nickserv
[03:18] <troubled> Starnestommy, Dave2: my god man, do you two follow people around to answer tech support questions? :)
[03:18] <dattfill> yes
[03:18] <Dave2> troubled, nope, merely have ircop on highlight
[03:18] <was_chickin> oh... :~)
[03:18] <p1> After my computer resumes from sleep, sound does not work.  If I remove and reinsert the driver module it works again.  I listed the module under MODULES in /etc/default/acpi-support, but that did not help.
[03:18] <was_chickin> sarnetommy I don't think it was registered, i can try though
[03:18] <misslecommander> lewis: dont worry about those> eth0,ath0, and so on. those are a good sign
[03:18] <jrib> dattfill: what filesystem is on sda1?
[03:18] <bastid_raZor> Giants~!
[03:18] <Dave2> was_chickin, it's not registered. you'll just have to wait for it to time out.
[03:19] <misslecommander> zcat[1}: thank you
[03:19] <nemilar> Would anyone be willing to give me a quick instruction on the use of sed/awk?
[03:19] <dattfill> windows files
[03:19] <nemilar> I will love you forever
[03:19] <functionofxy> tritium, yeah. i need full 3d. inventor is the only reason i keep a win32 partition, but like many others i despise having to interrupt my work to boot
[03:19] <dattfill> but in hda 1 is linux files, mp3, pictures but i cant copy and paste too
[03:19] <was_chickin> ah well!

[03:20] <tonsofpcs> so is there a way to modify a user's bash profile to set him/her to only be able to execute binaries in . without using the full binary path?  if so, wouldn't I be able to set up rbash and just put symlinks to the binaries I want to allow in ~?
[03:20] <p1> nemilar: is there anything in particular you want to know, other than what "man awk" and "man sed" tell you?
[03:20] <chickin> :P
[03:20] <chickin> yay!
[03:20] <chickin> thx!
[03:20] <IdleOne> sorry
[03:20] <jrib> nemilar: #sed and #awk are probably better channels for related questions.  But you can try here too, just be more specific
[03:21] <functionofxy> tritium, any other ideas?
[03:21] <nemilar> p1 jrib I'll try those channels, thanks
[03:21] <lewis> when i unplug my lan, my wireless does not connect
[03:21] <tritium> functionofxy: no, there really is no 3D CAD program for linux.
[03:21] <p1> After my computer resumes from sleep, sound does not work.  If I remove and reinsert the driver module it works again.  I listed the module under MODULES in /etc/default/acpi-support, but that did not help.
[03:21] <chickin> tylerjgillies dave2 starnestommy soldats tritum idleone geez! thanks for all your healp peoples :)
[03:22] <TylerJGillies> chickin, you're welcome
[03:22] <functionofxy> tritium, ah. too bad then. ill have to continue my futile attempts to get inventor to run under wine
[03:22] <lewis> can't i be connected via lan and wireless at the same time?
[03:22] <IdleOne> yeah no problem even though I was completly wrong
[03:22] <tritium> functionofxy: there are commercial ones, however
[03:22] <functionofxy> tritium, do u know names of the top of your head?
[03:22] <chickin> people should have 3's so that others can be highlighted easier
[03:22] <yao_ziyuan> what is the standard online place to download more gnome theme packages?
[03:22] <TylerJGillies> lewis, you are always connected via lan.
[03:22] <chickin> #'s*
[03:23] <TylerJGillies> lewis, unless you remove the cable or disable adapter
[03:23] <tritium> functionofxy: no, sorry.  But Google should be able to help you find some.
[03:23] <chickin> for example I would be about 87 so you could type "87: hi!"
[03:23] <functionofxy> tritium, thanks!
[03:23] <lewis> misslecommander, r u there?
[03:23] <twistedbeatfreek> anyone here?

[03:27] <ampex> is there a way to put a disk in fstab but not have the system freak if it's not present or unmountable at boot?
[03:27] <tritium> IdleOne: wow, you don't have a U.S. keyboard, it appears
[03:27] <misslecommander_> lewis: if it says eth0 i would think that is network card installed pci. you connecting wireless or LAN ?

[03:28] <tritium> Shuggle: eth0
[03:28] <IdleOne> tritium: I have the same kind of keyboard I have always had over the past 10 years . beats me what kind it is but it serves me
[03:28] <TylerJGillies> IdleOne, what do you mean? shift + \ is | for me too and i havea us keyboard
[03:28] <soldats> ampex, even if its in fstab  nothing odd should happen except for your bios recalculating what drives are present. nothing bad will come of it
[03:28] <lewis> i am using lan currently, but want to be mobile
[03:28] <twistedbeatfreek> need help installing a driver that i downloaded to desktop very new to linux and ubuntu
[03:28] <misslecommander_> lewis: you may have both a wireless and a network card.
[03:28] <TylerJGillies> IdleOne, that was for tritium
[03:28] <badkitty> spt5007: What do you mean? just install ubuntu first and then you get your gfx card drivers updated

[03:29] <Linuxian> hi
[03:29] <tsrk> Hi, I set up hybserv for an ircd-hybrid server and am having some problems.  I still cant msg nickserv/chanserv, and when i run hybserv I get the message "Unable to open SETPATH (/etc/hybserv/settings.conf)".
[03:29] <misslecommander_> lewis: there is a profile you can save for when you hook LAN, and when you hook up wireless, just save them profiles  and you can choose between them
[03:29] <lewis> my network card works fine obviously, i just can't seem to get the wireless going
[03:29] <bassmint> does anyone know how to get the Avast program working?
[03:29] <bassmint> it depends on some libraries
[03:29] <Linuxian> i have a problem with my friend's laptop
[03:29] <lewis> what do u mean exactly?
[03:30] <TylerJGillies> !question | Linuxian

[03:30] <ubotu> Package avast does not exist in gutsy
[03:30] <lewis> each device has it's own profile?
[03:30] <charlz> mysql error nr. 0. anyone have ideas about this error?
[03:30] <misslecommander_> lewis: wireless may be wlan, and lan may be eth, you can still save profiles on Network settings, to what suits your needs at that time
[03:30] <bassmint> it's not in the repositories
[03:30] <bassmint> it's from www.avast.com
[03:30] <TylerJGillies> bassmint, why are you asking in #ubuntu if its not ubuntu?
[03:30] <soldats> bassmint, well do a apt-cache search for the libraries
[03:31] <lewis> which device should i be using for wireless?
[03:31] <Shuggle> misslecommander_ : you talked before that you had problems with your display locking up. do you use a wireless card?
[03:31] <bassmint> yeah I guess you're right Tyler
[03:31] <bassmint> but I use Ubuntu
[03:31] <pipehh> Quiero Un Skin xD
[03:31] <misslecommander_> lewis: you will figure it out :) choose one or the other, when you setup one, save that profile, then setup the other, save as profile name different
[03:31] <bassmint> and I figured other people might be running Avast
[03:31] <tritium> lewis: the one that return wireless parameters in the output of iwconfig
[03:31] <Stormx2> Is it possible to map my system beep to a beep on my speakers?

[03:31] <p1> After my computer resumes from sleep, sound does not work.  If I remove and reinsert the driver module it works again.  I listed the module under MODULES in /etc/default/acpi-support, but that did not help.

[03:32] <spt5007> I need help installing Ubuntu w/ an 8800gt (g92), when I try to install I get "Your screen and graphics adapter could not be identified," then, the installer freezes after I click continue or if I identify my hardware
[03:32] <misslecommander_> Shuggle: yes i do, i diabled restricted nvidia. why you ask ? they both may be associated ?
[03:32] <TylerJGillies> !repeat | p1
[03:32] <ubotu> p1: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[03:32] <pipehh> Ok
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> bassmint: Best bet is to read info on their site.. check to see if they have a channel..  Look for Deb not rpm etc...
[03:32] <badkitty> spt5007: weird... do you have your card setup in bios, and your on board gfx turned off?
[03:32] <chickin> !patience
[03:32] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[03:33] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow: IIRC there is instructions on the site for installing on ubuntu.
[03:33] <Shuggle> misslecommander_: I am running ubuntu on my laptop. I have a nvidia 6150 go wireless driver and a broadcom 4311
[03:33] <p1> TylerJGillies: I have to repeat my question eventually because people don't scroll back to see what has been posted.  They just assume the question will be repeated.  I try not to repeat too often
[03:33] <spt5007> no onboard graphics, detected in BIOS fine
[03:33] <TylerJGillies> p1, cool
[03:33] <misslecommander_> Shuggle: in windows a funny thing happens, i havent found a solution or people that have the same issue. in windows, when i change my wireless settings, or enable them, my video flashes, like its resetting
[03:33] <badkitty> spt5007: Aperature size defined correctly in bios?
[03:33] <spt5007> should be half size on vram?
[03:33] <erpo> I have an ssh/sftp server running on my home file server. When I try to ssh in, it takes a loooooong time but eventually succeeds. When I try to browse the sftp server using ssh://my.ip.addr.ess/foldername URLs in GNOME, it times out. Both the client and server have plenty of RAM and the load averages are low. How can I troubleshoot this?
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: thanks,, I would have thought so..
[03:34] <Darkmystere_> Err Can some 1 help me How can i Change an iso to ISO 9660 format
[03:34] <misslecommander_> Shuggle: you think it could be related? i thought it may, but i cant be sure
[03:34] <kosa>  [stamp-po] Błąd 2
[03:34] <sethk> erpo, usually that's a reverse DNS failure
[03:34] <Terren> wow so confused right now
[03:34] <badkitty> spt5007: I set my size to highest allowed
[03:34] <Darkmystere_> because when i try and view the iso it says:CD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format
[03:34] <kosa> Hi   all  I have litte  problem
[03:34] <misslecommander_> Shuggle: i dont see a video flash in linux, but i do in windows. so that may be. 2 OS both same issue, not sure
[03:34] <badkitty> kosa: Dont we all ;-p
[03:34] <TylerJGillies> !question | kosa
[03:34] <ubotu> kosa: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[03:35] <bkar> Darkmystere-> what are you doing?
[03:35] <Darkmystere_> bkar: i have a Bactrack CD iso that wont boot and now im trying to view it and see why and its saying its not in 9960 format
[03:35] <misslecommander_> Shuggle: i hunted google for the windows issue with the flashing screen when changing settings on my wireless, but i dont see evidence of that in linux.
[03:36] <bkar> Darkmystere-> what are you doing then with the cd? what is your mount command?
[03:36] <badkitty> Darkmystere It could be how it was burned???
[03:36] <misslecommander_> Shuggle the video freeze happens even with nothing running, just desktop showing, and once i clcik on something, it freeze

[03:36] <badkitty> Is it the backtrack or backtrack2 disc?
[03:36] <tritium> kosa: don't paste here
[03:36] <Darkmystere_> Guys Guys!!! i have an iso on my destkop and i cannot read it because its in Wrong Format its a fresh downloaded iso

[03:37] <kosa> sorry
[03:37] <bkar> Darkmystere-> once more, what command did you issue to mount it?
[03:37] <tritium> kosa: xchat is in the repositories.  You don't need to compile it.
[03:37] <kosa> ;/ Iam newbe
[03:37] <Darkmystere_> im using gmount-iso...
[03:37] <tritium> !info xchat | kosa
[03:37] <ubotu> kosa: xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.4-0ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 300 kB, installed size 808 kB
[03:37] <misslecommander_> Darkmystere: iso is an image. burn to cd-r or dvd-r with burn software
[03:38] <bkar> misslecommander_-> fyi, a good valid iso can be mounted
[03:38] <misslecommander_> bkar: absolutely
[03:38] <Shuggl1> misslecommander_: it seems that our problems are not the same. changing my wireless settings does nothing but disconnect me :)
[03:38] <kosa> :/  thx    and sorry  for my englisch
[03:38] <Darkmystere_> misslecommander_: .... Ive burned 5 cds im on my last 1 and i want to see why
[03:38] <Darkmystere_> When i use gmount i get this:An error occured
[03:38] <Darkmystere_>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[03:38] <Darkmystere_>        dmesg | tail  or so
[03:38] <Darkmystere_>  and then a bunch of ss's
[03:39] <soldats> dont do that again
[03:39] <bkar> Darkmystere-> do it like so,  sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /where/that/file.iso  /mnt
[03:39] <Darkmystere_> but when i try and read the file with archive manager i get this:CD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format
[03:39] <misslecommander_> Shuggl1: wireless cards seem to do that, like they restart themselves. in linux i cant be sure what it is doing. i am not familiar enough with ,inux to determine that
[03:39] <bkar> then you can cd /mnt and see its contents
[03:39] <Chickin> if you don't talk for a while will you be kicked?
[03:40] <p1> After my computer resumes from sleep, sound does not work.  If I remove and reinsert the driver module it works again.  How can I do this automatically on sleep and resume?
[03:40] <badkitty> Chickin: No
[03:40] <Shuggl1> misslecommander_: I think that my problem is related to firefox.
[03:40] <santri> co_nakal
[03:40] <misslecommander_> bkar: for iso mount, there special Synaptic for that , or default ?
[03:40] <bassmint> oh I think I know what my real problem is, re: Avast...I run 64 bit Ubuntu and I think Avast might be 32 bit
[03:40] <Chickin> badkitty thx
[03:40] <misslecommander_> Shuggl1: Firefox does that to me too
[03:40] <yao_ziyuan> i go to gnome-look.org,
[03:40] <yao_ziyuan> and see the top theme is Aurora
[03:40] <misslecommander_> Shuggl1: or atleast it occurs more often
[03:40] <bkar> misslecommander_-> i dont understand your question..rephrase
[03:40] <yao_ziyuan> it is a "theme engine"
[03:41] <yao_ziyuan> i followed the instructions, "./configure --prefix=/usr"
[03:41] <misslecommander_> Shuggl1: does your mouse jump all over just before crash ?
[03:41] <ipunk> co_nakal
[03:41] <yao_ziyuan> and it says:
[03:41] <Shuggl1> misslecommander_: sometimes it fades out and then the screen freezes, and sometimes there is no warning
[03:41] <yao_ziyuan> c compiler can't generate exectuables
[03:41] <misslecommander_> bkar: will linux mount and iso without installing anything ?
[03:41] <Darkmystere_> Well when i try thast i get wrong fs type, bad option bad super block on /dev/loop0 missing codepage or helper program
[03:41] <ipunk> co_nakal
[03:41] <misslecommander_> Shuggl1: very similiar.
[03:41] <scguy318> yao_ziyuan: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:41] <yao_ziyuan> o
[03:41] <bkar> Darkmystere-> then it was not a valid iso to begin with
[03:42] <misslecommander_> Shuggl1: you use Shuggle name in here all the time ?
[03:42] <Shuggl1> misslecommander_: not really, but that may be related to the video freezing. perhaps you are only getting a few frames per second
[03:42] <Goose> So i have an ubuntu issue :D
[03:42] <verano_> whats ubuntu?
[03:42] <bkar> misslecommander_-> nope, mount is an essential tools that should be part of the os
[03:42] <Darkmystere_> bkar: Is there a way to Recode it to 9660 format?
[03:42] <misslecommander_> bkar: good info, thank you
[03:42] <Shuggl1> misslecommander_: yeah, so far
[03:42] <badkitty> Darkmystere: Where did you download it, and is it backtrack1 or 2?
[03:42] <dolphin_noel> why i using linux when i spent 5 hours to tryto compile somehting tat i allreadu do itin windowS?!
[03:42] <Darkmystere_> 2 torrent
[03:42] <bkar> Darkmystere-> do you have the original source? and its directory structure? you can mkisofs
[03:42] <dolphin_noel> in 5 minuts
[03:43] <misslecommander_> Shuggl1: if i find anything out about the issue, being they both sound about the same, i will let you know.
[03:43] <badkitty> Darkmystere: May be a good idea to download the image from their site.
[03:43] <goat|wor1> dolphin_noel: then go back to windows if you like it better
[03:43] <Darkmystere_> dolphin_noel: Can you speak better i got lost in your words..
[03:43] <goat|wor1> no one is stopping you
[03:43] <misslecommander_> Shuggl1: i am currently dealing with a few other issues, but that one is on the toplist
[03:43] <dolphin_noel> goat|wor1 you can be joking but i'm serious thinkin about this ...
[03:44] <badkitty> dolphin_noel: There is a small learning curve to get things working just right in linux, but once you get the hang of it, you wont go back
[03:44] <Shuggl1> misslecommander_: thanks. i'm going to use opera and see if it helps. that brings up the next bug.....
[03:44] <Flannel> dolphin_noel: If you ask a real question, we can help you.
[03:44] <dolphin_noel> Darkmystere_ well do you speak portuguese? i think portuguese is one bether language then english
[03:44] <Darkmystere_> dolphin_noel: Whats your problem
[03:44] <Flannel> !pt | dolphin_noel
[03:44] <ubotu> dolphin_noel: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[03:44] <nickrud> techgeek40: ping
[03:44] <misslecommander_> ISO can be corrupt, a new download of it, and a checksum may do you well
[03:44] <techgeek40> nickrud: I'm here
[03:44] <dolphin_noel> well my problem isspent 5 houts try to do something that i do in less then 5 minuts in windows
[03:44] <techgeek40> Sorry

[03:44] <Darkmystere_> Well i speek it abit
[03:45] <techgeek40> <---using the crappy openchrome onboard video :<
[03:45] <dolphin_noel> i fell me a litle frustrated
[03:45] <nickrud> techgeek40: sounds like you fixed .... oh
[03:45] <dolphin_noel> and stupid
[03:45] <badkitty> dolphin_noel: The same could be said visa versa
[03:45] <misslecommander_> being i dont use email of any sort, can i saflet remove Evolution ?
[03:45] <spt5007> I'm having problems installing Ubuntu with an 8800gt (g92), please see the screenshots on my forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673503
[03:45] <Darkmystere_> But i dont think thell let me talk to you in portchugese
[03:45] <millllmannnn> where is the standard place to put the src folder?
[03:45] <nickrud> misslecommander_: yes
[03:45] <Darkmystere_> bkaz: Could You send me a link to a correct Torrent
[03:45] <misslecommander_> nickrud: thank you.
[03:45] <p1> After my computer resumes from sleep, sound does not work.  If I remove and reinsert the driver module it works again.  How can I do this automatically on sleep and resume?
[03:45] <Darkmystere_> nickrud: i need help with my Splash Screen
[03:46] <goat|wor1> millllmannnn: /usr/src  or /home/username
[03:46] <bastid_raZor> misslecommander_:: i had Evolution uninstalled for nearly 4 months.. and only recently have started using it
[03:46] <tritium> p1: you're repeating again.
[03:46] <techgeek40> nickrude: what I did was take the Nvidia card out - ran the dpkg again - used the vesa driver - when I got to the desktop gui - I installed the nvidia drivers - but that still didn't work
[03:46] <badkitty> Darkmystere you looking for a .torrent of backtrack???
[03:46] <Darkmystere_> Yea...
[03:46] <nickrud> misslecommander_: there's a few things you can disable/remove from system->admin->sessions startup as well
[03:46] <millllmannnn> thankx
[03:46] <Billster> how can you add something to startup like conky
[03:46] <Chickin> p1 ever though about not letting your comp go to sleep?
[03:46] <Darkmystere_> Because apparently the last 1 is corrupt
[03:46] <nickrud> Darkmystere: I don't know much about usplash, it gave me issues so I disabled it
[03:46] <badkitty> Darkmystere: Why not download off of the website??
[03:46] <DanaG> How do you make mplayer use the device "surround51:1"?
[03:46] <p1> tritium: I have to repeat eventually.  First of all, people enter and exit the channel.  Second, people donm't scroll back to read old lines, they rely on people to repeat.
[03:46] <dolphin_noel> badkitty yes but whu i shoud spent 5 hours or more qhen in cna do the same thing in less then 5 minuts
[03:47] <tritium> p1: no, you don't
[03:47] <Darkmystere_> nickrud: Is there a way to read iso types that arent 9660
[03:47] <Flannel> p1: repeating is good every 15 to 30 minutes, not sooner.
[03:47] <badkitty> dolphin_noel: Once you get used to it, linux is WAY faster than windows
[03:47] <Darkmystere_> nickrud: I got my sound working on the generic kernal on my dedicated partion install =)
[03:47] <p1> tritium: if I don't repeat, nobody will remember my question, and some people will not read it
[03:47] <nickrud> Darkmystere: again, I don't know, all the ones I've used have been made under ubuntu or were generic stuff
[03:48] <tritium> p1: see Flannel's reply above
[03:48] <nickrud> Darkmystere: about time you dropped wubi
[03:48] <Darkmystere_> dolphin_noel: what are you trying to use i could compile and send it to you
[03:48] <dolphin_noel> badkitty well they say it is less crsh but this is allways crash me when im listen musica and some website send musica
[03:48] <dolphin_noel> is allmost crash whith firefox for shure
[03:48] <Darkmystere_> nickrud: i havent used wubi in a week i still have it it saved me some time on fixing windows Bootup thing
[03:48] <dolphin_noel> and rytmytch box
[03:48] <Jangari> i think it's about time i repeat my query then: every window or application opens too high for the screen and the toolbar is off the screen, what's going on?
[03:49] <dolphin_noel> well linux crash to
[03:49] <Darkmystere_> nickrud: it gave me a award winning rare boot Windows Bootloader and grub are linked
[03:49] <dolphin_noel> looks :x
[03:49] <nickrud> techgeek40: you said your nvidia worked with vesa mode, but failed when you started the restricted driver?
[03:49] <spt5007> I'm having problems installing Ubuntu with an 8800gt (g92). I get a screen that say "Your screen and graphics card could not be detected." For screenshots: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673503
[03:49] <Aquahallic> evenin' folks
[03:49] <Aquahallic> are there any descent playstation 2 emulators out there that play nice with ubuntu?
[03:50] <techgeek40> nickrud: no - it didn't work with either one - I actually had to go back to vesa driver using the onboard vid card -
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> dolphin_noel: It is extremely stable.. The biggest problems are in what some of the users they themselves agg or change
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> add
[03:50] <nickrud> techgeek40: I'm stumped (not an unusual experience for me)
[03:50] <badkitty> Darkmystere Try downloading it from here: http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html
[03:51] <dolphin_noel> Jack_Sparrow i know i know i know have some advantages and i like itis not idont useuse but i get a litle pissoff spent 5 hours to compile some software lol :x
[03:51] <techgeek40> nickrud: at this point - I just have no idea. But I'm not going to worry right now - because in about one week I'll be getting the new nvidia directx pci express card (for vista)
[03:51] <techgeek40> But the only thing I don't know is how well it will work with Ubunut
[03:51] <Darkmystere_> dolphin_noel: Whats the software i can do it for you or give you advise >.<
[03:51] <dolphin_noel> Darkmystere_ man don`t try to make me lammer lol

[03:52] <nickrud> techgeek40: makes sense.
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> dolphin_noel: Most people dont need to compile themselves, but once you have done it a couple times it gets much easier and faster
[03:52] <erpo> techgeek40: nvidia cards usually work very well with ubuntu.
[03:52] <Darkmystere_> dolphin_noel: Im not trying to if you ask nickrud,Jack_Sparrow, How many times ive came here asking questions youd be here for a year
[03:52] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: i am trying to eliminate running processes, so i can narrow the paying field, and find the source of some issues i am having
[03:52] <techgeek40> nickrud; any idea when there is going to be a new release - I have read that Gutsy will be the only one until April 2009?
[03:52] <Breakage> Hi, I want to install xubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu-desktop but how do I keep the them seperate.. ie all the main menu icons etc
[03:52] <dolphin_noel> Jack_Sparrow yes it is resolved thank you very muc i just get alitle dah o0 0o @@ urgg but yes it works stable :) that linux
[03:52] <nickrud> techgeek40: april 08
[03:52] <erpo> techgeek40: April 2008.
[03:52] <DanaG> Gaack, when I try to play a DVD in gmplayer, it repeatedly opens and closes some random window in front of the movie, and thus eats CPU.
[03:53] <techgeek40> erpo: nickrud and I tried and tried - it just hangs at the start up screen -
[03:53] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: besides, i havent done email in around 10 years. i dont like it at all
[03:53] <DanaG> It looks rather ridiculous, actually -- it's like it's spazzing out.
[03:53] <nickrud> techgeek40: or there abouts
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> DarkmystereYou have talked my ear off.. but you have learned and now you are here helping others.. That is great
[03:53] <techgeek40> Maybe the new one will handle the problem
[03:53] <Darkmystere_> dolphin_noel: Go into the terminal find the file you want the source type cd then press space and drag and drop the file to terminal and then type ./configure then make then make install
[03:53] <erpo> DanaG: Try ogle or xine for playing dvds.
[03:53] <nickrud> DanaG: you running compiz?
[03:53] <DanaG> Yeah.
[03:53] <techgeek40> nickrud: it was hanging where? The Loading boot script (/etc/rc.local) right?
[03:53] <Darkmystere_> Jack_Sparrow: Lol you mean type your eyes out?
[03:53] <DanaG> But here's the error it's spamming me with (when run in console):

[03:54] <Breakage> if i install xubuntu-desktop will it load my sessions stuff like compiz and emerald and awn??
[03:54] <techgeek40> Quick question here - why do I see some nicknames come up in yellow?
[03:54] <techgeek40> Also is there a better IRC app XChat-Gnome - is there a better one out there?
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Goodnight all.. play nice
[03:54] <Carbonflux> if I changed my audio board is there a way to get Ubuntu to "redetect" it ?
[03:54] <techgeek40> Night Jack
[03:54] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow: i read what you say, i learn lots from listening, that includes the others that contribute
[03:54] <Daworm> Jack_Sparrow - just a quick FYI - turn out I had to hit my keyboard to get my screen to come up :) For some reason screen went blank as soon as the GUI kicked in.
[03:54] <DanaG> When I use Metacity, it just repeatedly FLICKERS.
[03:55] <DanaG> blinkblinkblinkblinkblinkblinkblinkblinkblinkblinkblinkblinkblink
[03:55] <Daworm> Just got done now installing from liveCD.
[03:55] <nickrud> DanaG: try changing the video output type, or another player. I find vlc to pretty stable
[03:55] <DanaG> It's an AUDIO issue.
[03:55] <spt5007> I'm having problems installing Ubuntu with an 8800gt (g92). Is there anyway to specify a different video driver at the options terminal before installing Ubuntu?
[03:55] <misslecommander> Daworm: i was reading something about GRUB, seems to be an option to blank screen. dont ask me how to run GRUB< i am still learning
[03:56] <yao_ziyuan> configure: error: GTK+-2.10 is required to compile aurora
[03:56] <DanaG> I usually use Xine, but I wanted to try mplayer.
[03:56] <Chickin> p1 try asking your questio in the ubuntu forums
[03:56] <erpo> spt5007: You could try the text mode install.
[03:56] <DanaG> I guess mplayer loses.  I'm just going to go back to Xine.
[03:56] <techgeek40> spt5007: you may need to try the Alternate CD install
[03:56] <Daworm> misslecommander - yeah, seems to turn off my vid card when it boots into the GUI.
[03:56] <techgeek40> lol waht erpo said
[03:57] <nickrud> DanaG: try alternate video output types if you want to give mplayer a better chance
[03:57] <misslecommander> yao_ziyuan: search in Synaptic Package Manager for GTK, you may find it there
[03:57] <DanaG> That won't fix the console-and-window error spamming.
[03:57] <yao_ziyuan> misslecommander: seems i already installed it
[03:57] <misslecommander> Daworm: i read it just the other day, so maybe that will help some.
[03:57] <RiXtEr> hey all, is there anyway to boot an cd iso off of a hard drive via grub?
[03:58] <misslecommander> yao_ziyuan: you can re-install, but, i dont know what that will do. i am sure someone knows
[03:58] <erpo> RiXtEr: No.
[03:58] <p1> Chickin, I'll do that, but I think I'll ask again here
[03:58] <brapse> can anyone confirm if the madwifi site is down?
[03:58] <Dr_willis> RiXtEr,  ive seen some disrtos sort of fake that. :) but know of no general way to do it.
[03:58] <Daworm> It's all good now though, I just just trying to get install happening :)
[03:58] <bkar> what is the relationship between gnome-session and metacity? i seem to have broken my metacity when I remoted in and used gnmoe-session
[03:59] <nickrud> yao_ziyuan: install libgtk2.0-dev , you need the headers for the library to compile
[03:59] <Breakage> brapse: yep down here too
[03:59] <RiXtEr> Dr_willis: what do you mean fake it?
[03:59] <erpo> brapse: I can't connect to madwifi.org
[03:59] <yao_ziyuan> nickrud: ok
[03:59] <misslecommander> bkar: metacity on my machine has an icon that looks likw win32(windows) is that bad ?
[03:59] <Dr_willis> RiXtEr,  ive seen puppy linux (or was it dsl) do a boot with an initrd, that then mounted a .iso  on a usb drive.
[03:59] <yao_ziyuan> and the most important question:
[03:59] <brapse> Breakage, erpo: thanks :/
[03:59] <Dr_willis> RiXtEr,  but  you had to have a special 'boot' disk set up to do the  trick. :)
[03:59] <yao_ziyuan> why do people provide answers to people they don't know?
[04:00] <bkar> misslecommander-> i have no idea on that one, i have a question of my own re gnome-session and metacity
[04:00] <Breakage> brapse: no problem
[04:00] <RiXtEr> Dr_willis: I see. ok thanks
[04:00] <misslecommander> bkar: i didnt notice it till today, checking processes, do i even need it, somehow it seems related to Gnome themes
[04:00] <erpo> yao_ziyuan: Because we're communists.
[04:00] <yao_ziyuan> is that the natural deduction of "one for all, all for one" market economy?
[04:00] <yao_ziyuan> erpo: ...
[04:00] <nickrud> erpo: you took the words right out of my mouth. I backspaced to avoid politics :0
[04:00] <QwertyM> misslecommander: yeah you need metacity running if you're running a gtk theme ofcourse.
[04:00] <misslecommander> bkar: i ddidnt notice it till i installed Gnome theme extras, in which i will remove soon enough
[04:00] <Darkmystere_> Is there a yahoo messanger for Ubuntu i know about pidgin im using it but it doesnt allow you to message mobile phones
[04:01] <misslecommander> QwertyM: can i safely remove it, and what are the consequences i can expect ?
[04:01] <nickrud> yao_ziyuan: seriously though, lots of someones helped me learn this free thing, I'm passing it on
[04:01] <QwertyM> misslecommander: that kind of an icon is shown if there exists no default icon for an application, its an icon theme dependent
[04:01] <niall9> anyone know the config options in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for mouse forward and back buttons?
[04:01] <QwertyM> misslecommander: you'll only lose your theme, and everything it provided you :P
[04:01] <bkar> Darkmystere_-> there is chikka  but too bad they seem to only support windows, have not tried their java client though
[04:02] <nickrud> !mouse | niall9
[04:02] <ubotu> niall9: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[04:02] <yao_ziyuan> nickrud: do you feel "other people's problems are my problems"?
[04:02] <QwertyM> misslecommander: removing metacity or gnome-theme-extras?
[04:02] <compu73rg33k> So I've done a grub-install to /dev/hda and then I Rebooted and I'm at hte grub command line
[04:02] <misslecommander> QwertyM: if i uninstall the Gnome theme extras, will metacity be removed as a proccess as well ?
[04:02] <QwertyM> misslecommander: never remove metacity
[04:02] <QwertyM> no it wont
[04:02] <compu73rg33k> don't I need to somehow install the kernel to my /boot partition?
[04:02] <misslecommander> QwertyM: ok
[04:02] <bastid_raZor> misslecommander:: you're in THAT bad of need for resources?
[04:02] <nickrud> yao_ziyuan: it's off-topic, but up to a point, yes. I'm actually very self centered.
[04:02] <Breakage> :D
[04:03] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: not in need, i have plenty of CPU/Memory, i eliminate the possible causes
[04:03] <compu73rg33k> can someone give me a pointer of how to installing a kernel image my /boot partition, i've installed grub to it and my installation is on an encrypted partition w/ a  volume group on hda2
[04:03] <bastid_raZor> misslecommander:: ahh. i see
[04:03] <bkar> compu73rg33k-> yes the vmlinuz.xxx should be there including System.map.xxx
[04:03] <Darkmystere_> nickrud: Lol  its offtopic but no your not as self-center as i!!
[04:03] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: and if i dont need it, i dont want it installed, i like stable, not speed
[04:03] <compu73rg33k> bkar when I ran grub-install it just made a /grub folder and when I booted now i'm at the grub command line
[04:03] <yao_ziyuan> i am the center of the world
[04:04] <compu73rg33k> bad grub-install? should I re-try that again?
[04:04] <goat|wor1> yao_ziyuan: yes, I am :-)
[04:04] <QwertyM> misslecommander: the default installation processes are all stable :) metacity is a core component of gnome, maybe compiz removes that dependency now but I think metacity is more than just the borders
[04:05] <bkar> compu73rg33k-> i have not been using grub-install , so am a bit reluctant to say yes
[04:05] <compu73rg33k> do you use lilo?
[04:05] <nickrud> compu73rg33k: mainly you need to chroot into your installation and reinstall your kernel image using a package manager. If boot is mounted, the kernel image will be placed there
[04:05] <Darkmystere_> Is there a way to mount and iso of a game made for windows and wine running the program acctually notice the iso? or is there a way to mount the iso in the place where it would appear if you used an iso in the virtual c drive?
[04:06] <compu73rg33k> nickrud hmm reinstall the kernel image to the /boot partition?
[04:06] <compu73rg33k> I never installed it to begin with
[04:06] <quittt> is someone here having problems with Debian menu?
[04:06] <misslecommander> QwertyM: be back, removing theme extras
[04:07] <nickrud> compu73rg33k: yes, assuming you chroot into your ubuntu hard disk install,  sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-<correct version> will put the image, initrd, and config into /boot
[04:07] <bkar> compu73rg33k-> I use this as reference http://olympus.het.brown.edu/cgi-bin/info2
[04:07] <Darkmystere_> guy who wanted to install xbuntu over ubuntu just install xbuntu desktop for the same affect
[04:08] <Daworm> Ugh -- I had this issue when I installed Ubuntu 5.1 last time can't remember how I got it working. But atm, Ubuntu 7.1 cannot see my NIC.
[04:08] <Daworm> Anyone got some advice on how to proceed to identify it and get it setup properly?
[04:09] <bkar> Daworm-> what kind of nic? wireless?
[04:09] <misslecommander> Open Office Safe to remove ?
[04:09] <TylerJGillies> misslecommander, no
[04:09] <misslecommander> ok
[04:09] <nickrud> TylerJGillies: why not?
[04:09] <Daworm> Eth
[04:09] <Daworm> *bkar
[04:09] <TylerJGillies> misslecommander, essential system files
[04:09] <bkar> what?
[04:09] <Darkmystere_> Is there a way to Share an internet With a desktop PC with an Ethernet Card?
[04:09] <Darkmystere_> Ethernet Cord And im using wireless
[04:10] <TylerJGillies> Darkmystere_, internet connection sharing
[04:10] <misslecommander> TylerjGillies: the packages with the Ubuntu Icon ? those essentials ?
[04:11] <Daworm> wait - nvm Bkar - it's running it seems.  :)
[04:11] <misslecommander> TylerjGillies: i was under the impression, the ones with the ubuntu icon, where just there, because they came with it. not really sure though
[04:12] <TylerJGillies> misslecommander, i was joking. its ok to delete open office.
[04:12] <compu73rg33k> w00t thanks a lot bkar and nickrud i'll give those tips a shot and let you know how it works thanks a bunch
[04:12] <nickrud> well that sucks, language-support depends on openoffice packs
[04:12] <misslecommander> TylerjGillies: now you got me wondering
[04:12] <jsemmanuel> i set the plugin to make exaile disappear from the taskbar. HOw do i restore it now and disable that plugin? Trying to start exaile again from the applications menu does not work
[04:13] <misslecommander> TylerjGillies: if it breaks i fix it. oh well. if my backups fail, well, ubuntu may never see me again
[04:13] <TylerJGillies> misslecommander, it should be fine its just an office program
[04:13] <techgeek40> What's the easiest way to add wav files for my own start-up sounds?
[04:14] <misslecommander> TylerjGillies: have question about Restart vs Re-Login. one preferred over the other ?
[04:14] <TylerJGillies> misslecommander, relogin restarts X server, restart restarts whole computer
[04:14] <Pirate-King> how do you edit sudoers?
[04:14] <misslecommander> TylerjGillies: hardware i always powerdown, with software i only go with what it says
[04:14] <debasys> from where do i download .deb package of vlc player?
[04:14] <snipexv> Hi, I have a hp deskjet 3653. Gutsy will automatically detect the printer as a HP DeskJet 3650 Foomatic/hpijs with device uri hp:/usb/deskjet_3600?serial=LPDT. However, I can't get anything to print, I'll add the job but it will only process, never print. I search google and the forums with no luck. Does anyone here have any ideas on how to continue?
[04:15] <bastid_raZor> Pirate-King:: sudo vi /etc/sudoers
[04:15] <misslecommander> TylerjGillies: restart vs relog concerning application uninstalls
[04:15] <bastid_raZor> Pirate-King:: if vim is your editor of choice
[04:15] <Pirate-King> hmmm
[04:15] <Dr_willis> actualy issnt there a visudo editor for that file?
[04:15] <techgeek40> BRB
[04:15] <TylerJGillies> bastid_raZor, you should use sudoedit
[04:15] <bastid_raZor> Dr_willis:: visudo is i think
[04:15] <Pirate-King> want to add    <username> ALL=(ALL) ALL to that file
[04:16] <Dr_willis> visudo - edit the sudoers file
[04:16] <misslecommander> TylerjGillies: i'll be back, hopefully :)
[04:16] <TylerJGillies> misslecommander, depends on what they use in the system
[04:16] <Pirate-King> I tried visudo
[04:16] <Pirate-King> can't edit
[04:16] <Dr_willis> Thats the 'proper and safe' way to edit it. :) Not sure what it does however
[04:16] <scguy318> Pirate-King: EDITOR=gedit sudo visudo?
[04:16] <scguy318> Pirate-King: or whatever editor you like
[04:17] <Dr_willis> sudo visudo  - is redundant I think
[04:17] <Pirate-King> Im in debian no desktop environtment
[04:17] <debasys> can't i download a deb package  to transfer to another PC which does not have internet connection????
[04:17] <nickrud> visudo does some basic consistency checks, helps you avoid breaking sudo
[04:17] <Dr_willis> sudo editor  ehatever :)
[04:17] <Darkmystere_> TylerJGillies: how would i go about doing that?
[04:17] <debasys> i need a deb package for VLC Player....where do i download it??
[04:17] <Dr_willis> debasys,  you can.. but often the first package depends on other packages
[04:17] <Dr_willis> !info aptcd
[04:17] <ubotu> Package aptcd does not exist in gutsy
[04:17] <kenworth> Pirate-King - press 'i' once in visudo to enter insert mode and edit. if i recall correctly.
[04:17] <Dr_willis> debasys,  thers a tool designed for that. but i cant rember its name
[04:18] <debasys> Dr_willis, in case of VLC? does it depend on any other package also?
[04:18] <nickrud> debasys: vlc is in the reps
[04:18] <Pirate-King> ok
[04:18] <Dr_willis> aptoncd - Installation disc creator for packages downloaded via APT
[04:18] <TylerJGillies> Darkmystere_, doing what?
[04:18] <Dr_willis> debasys,  every thing has dependencies. :)
[04:18] <debasys> nickrud, i know that, the machine does not have an active net connection
[04:18] <Dr_willis> and those thiings have dependencies...
[04:18] <nickrud> debasys: oh, then you might be able to use apt-zip to download all the deps on another machine
[04:18] <debasys> nickrud, so what i need is a deb package which i can transfer easily
[04:18] <nickrud> !apt-zip | debasys

[04:20] <Daworm> wanting a nice light ftp server, which would have smallest simplest footprint nickrud?
[04:20] <nickrud> Daworm: not sure, to be honest.
[04:20] <kenworth> Pirate-King - sudo visudo in an xterm, then edit, then ctrl-x to save. works fine here. forget insert mode.
[04:20] <Daworm> I'll just got ftpd :)
[04:20] <misslecommander> removing Office, said successful remove, but press ok and X brought me to login screen.
[04:21] <Daworm> *get
[04:21] <misslecommander> killed X, but i am here, so not too bad
[04:21] <Darkmystere_> Omg i know its offtopic but  Some 1 needs to stick a pin needle in my Brain because i have endless problems..

[04:21] <Pirate-King> kenworth there is no desktop environment on my machine all by command line
[04:22] <nickrud> Darkmystere_: best advice I have is move slowly, investigate what you want to do before you do it so you have fewer suprises
[04:22] <rainwalker> anyone know why desktop effects would run faster when using the live cd than on my actual install?
[04:22] <nabo> its a intel GM965

[04:27] <ucrit> nabo: is your driver already installed correctly?
[04:28] <misslecommander> for some reason, now Metacity has an icon. i removed Gnome Theme Extras. now i can see the icon
[04:28] <nabo> ucrit: i think so, how i can see it? sorry im kind noob :(
[04:28] <Daworm> what's the hotkey to turn of the GUI? to reduce pc load?

[04:29] <nabo> jnascimento: that is for ethernet :X

[04:34] <nickrud> they're all overblown clones of rcs
[04:35] <Daworm> yeah, just gotta set it up. TylerJGillies - svn isn't default available on a linux box is it?
[04:35] <tritium> p1: there is a "MODULES" section you can list it in.
[04:35] <nabo> ucrit: where i can see that? :X
[04:35] <desertc> pure_eigenVector: ...if anyone can answer your question

[04:37] <nabcore> Shuggl1; Use a dynamic IP

[04:40] <fismoll8> want to code from my windows computer
[04:40] <fismoll8> but hate coding on windows
[04:40] <nickrud> Daworm: you probably want to enable the universe & multiverse ones as well. In fact, you should probably turn on the gui long enough to run the software sources to make sure its set up to get updates and security
[04:40] <techgeek40> fismoll8: two computers - one on windows the other on ubuntu?
[04:40] <misslecommander> the panels failed to work before restart, but gui is much much more repsonsive
[04:40] <fismoll8> yes
[04:40] <Daworm> nickrud - how long for?
[04:41] <techgeek40> fismoll8: same network or you would be doing it from a different location?
[04:41] <Daworm> should I just run apt-get upgrade ?
[04:41] <nickrud> Daworm: just long enough to run system->admin->software sources , enable the first four on the first tab and security and updates on the (third?) tab
[04:42] <Daworm> rgr. universe and multiverse were enabled. Just deb main was commented out.
[04:42] <nickrud> Daworm: the settings I'm talking about determines what apt-get update gets, and what apt-get upgrade will install
[04:42] <Daworm> how to bring the GUI up?
[04:42] <p1> tritium: curiously, the system beep works, but I cannot play sound or video files
[04:42] <twistedbeatfreek> erawfish: it says its unsupported however i dont have sound how can i hookup the onboard sound card
[04:42] <Daworm> I've started it again.
[04:42] <nickrud> Daworm: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start
[04:43] <Daworm> nickrud, done that . but still sitting at command prompt. Reboot?
[04:43] <PeterPan_> Nemykal no i gues..
[04:43] <tritium> p1: sorry, no ideas

[04:53] <htns> does anybody know why?
[04:53] <fatedkiss> bod: i was trying to fix a mic issue
[04:53] <mattholimeau> anyone know what it is that changes the ssh terminal title upon logging into a remote host? Sometimes it sets it to the user on the remote host, sometimes it stays as my local user and hostname
[04:53] <linux-user> U can upgrade kernel with synaptic
[04:53] <jbuncher> Can anyone tell me what specific features xserver-xgl gives to a system over one that doesn't use it?
[04:53] <bod_> fatedkiss: so the sound worked b4 updates?
[04:53] <fatedkiss> yeah
[04:53] <Michael133> got a question. I have dual monitors and I'm running Ubuntu 7.03 x86, (MSI) nVidia NX7100GS Video card, I installed the driver from the "Restricted Drivers Manager" and I see no controls allowing me to adjust settings for multiple monitors..
[04:53] <Dr_willis> mattholimeau,  those can be set with the proper bash prompt settings. :)
[04:53] <bod_> htns: theres talk of that on the forums
[04:53] <tritium> linux-user: only when one is available, but that's not what's needed here.
[04:53] <aszwet1> is there anyway to determine what kind of soundcard i have using the commandline?
[04:53] <htns> bod_: I'm on Thinkpad t42
[04:54] <aszwet1> oops
[04:54] <Dr_willis> mattholimeau,  check the bash prompt howto -  for lots of examples of ticks like that.
[04:54] <bod_> fatedkiss: hhmm,.,. have u got sound when u boot the machine up,. like at the log in screen?
[04:54] <nickrud> Michael133: I think you can run   nvidia-settings
[04:54] <fatedkiss> bod:not anymore
[04:54] <bod_> fatedkiss: do u no exactly which files u updated?
[04:54] <twistedbeatfreek> linux-user: synaptic pacgkage manager ? how do i find it on my desktop its not like windows
[04:54] <bod_> htns: hang on m8
[04:54] <Michael133> type nvidia-settings in the terminal...
[04:54] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: you don't need to upgrade your kernel.
[04:55] <nickrud> Michael133: yes
[04:55] <htns> ^_^
[04:55] <Flannel> twistedbeatfreek: system > Administration > Synaptic PAckage Manager
[04:55] <jbuncher> Michael133:  Have you tried running "nvidia-settings" from the command line?
[04:55] <compu73rg33k> hmm so my basic problem is I guess I haven't created any grub config? I just installed the linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic from aptitude
[04:55] <aszwet1> i'm not getting anysound using alsautils, i ran alsaconf, and it says no supported PnP or PCI card found, no legazy ISA found either... using lspci i show a Multimedia audio controller:  Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L) AC`97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
[04:55] <fatedkiss> bod: i belive so i know the file i had compiled
[04:55] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: if you're having sound issues, try reading below:
[04:55] <twistedbeatfreek> then what?
[04:55] <tritium> !sound | twistedbeatfreek
[04:55] <ubotu> twistedbeatfreek: 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
[04:55] <fatedkiss> bod: would you like me to list all 3?
[04:55] <compu73rg33k> so after I install a kernel image to my boot partition, I would need to install grub right?
[04:55] <linux-user> twistedbeatfreek: desktop>administration>synaptic package manager
[04:55] <Michael133> thanks a bunch ;-)
[04:56] <bod_> fatedkiss: no im not good with sound fixing,.,. but i would suggest redoing wotever it is u did to break it,.,. if that fails talk to nickrud,. he's pretty in the know-how
[04:56] <nickrud> Michael133: out of curiosity, could you check if there's a way to run that from system->admin menu?
[04:56] <PeterPan_> Nemykal no i gues..
[04:56] <jbuncher> compu73rg33k:  If you install the kernel through the repositories, and grub is already installed, grub update should be run automatically to update the kernels in your grub menu.
[04:56] <bod_> htns: wot seems to be the prob?
[04:56] <Michael133> yes
[04:56] <Michael133> nothing in there
[04:56] <nickrud> fatedkiss: bod_ is way too kind, sound is way over my head
[04:56] <bod_> nickrud: me too m8
[04:56] <htns> bod_: when I pick ubuntu when my laptop starts up, there's a brief second of something and then the screen blacks out for a very long time
[04:56] <fatedkiss> nickrud: bummer ; ;
[04:57] <compu73rg33k> I apparently have grub, it just doesn't seem to have any options to boot from ... I guess my problem here is that I have an encrypted partition that contains the whole install, i've created 3 partitions using LVM for root usr and home
[04:57] <htns> Usually, I just get up, do my stuff (about 10-15 minutes) and get back, and there's the login screen
[04:57] <techgeek40> Okay - got AVI working on one computer - but when I do sudo apt-get install w32codecs I'm getting an error
[04:57] <htns> I mean, srsly, Windows 95 boots up faster than that, what's up dude?
[04:57] <nabo> ucrit: i got this error,  =>1 0x7df006f5 in i965_dri.so (+0x856f5) (0x0034e944) have any idea please? :X
[04:57] <nickrud> fatedkiss: there's a guy that I would like to spend a week in class with, he knows but is usually busy with other stuff
[04:57] <Flannel> compu73rg33k: When using LVM, you need /boot to be non-LVM
[04:57] <jbuncher> nickrud & Michael133:  For me, nvidia-settings is in Applications -> System Tools, but I can't remember if it was visible by default, it may have to be turned on via the menu editor
[04:57] <techgeek40> This worked on my laptop - but on my desktop I get Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[04:57] <bod_> htns: oh,. so its the point from picking the grub menu to the log in screen ,.,. strange,.,. is this a recent problem or have u always had it?
[04:58] <compu73rg33k> yeah I have /boot on a separate partition (hda1) that's unencrypted and not on the LVM
[04:58] <fatedkiss> nickrud: it happens, i wish i was a bit more linux savy
[04:58] <nickrud> jbuncher: thanks, I'm trying to remember to tell people about the menu ways
[04:58] <skwashd> hi all
[04:58] <htns> bod_: I just installed ubuntu today, at first it worked fine, this was before I installed the security updates
[04:58] <tritium> htns: what's not working now?
[04:58] <skwashd> i am running gutsy on an old AMD 2000+
[04:58] <htns> tribaldata: ubuntu works, it's just that, it takes forever to get from the boot menu to login screen
[04:58] <htns> From there on, it's great
[04:58] <bod_> htns: ok,.,. if u sat infront of ur laptop,.,. how long is it b4 u can log in?
[04:58] <gilster> techgeek40: do you have the medibuntu repos setup in sources:?
[04:59] <htns> bod_: 10-15 minutes is my best guess
[04:59] <htns> It seems to respond though
[04:59] <jbuncher> techgeek40:  Enable the medibuntu repositories https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and you can install w32codecs
[04:59] <nickrud> o_)
[04:59] <nickrud> 0
[04:59] <jbuncher> nickrud:  no problem
[04:59] <skwashd> everything works fine ... except on cold boot initramfs decided to bailout to busybox
[04:59] <bod_> htns: ouch
[04:59] <htns> If I do ctrl-alt-del, then it just reboots after a while, like 40 seconds....
[04:59] <skwashd> any ideas?
[04:59] <ethan961> htns: does usplash show up?
[04:59] <htns> But the screen is blank the whole time
[04:59] <htns> ethan961, I dunno, when I get back, usually the login screen is just sitting there
[05:00] <bod_> htns: it sounds like ur grub may be having problems booting,.,. how did the install go ,.,. good/errors?
[05:00] <bkar> skwashd-> all the time? or once?
[05:00] <skwashd> bkar: every cold boot
[05:00] <htns> bod_: install went great, I had problems after I installed the security updates
[05:00] <jbuncher> Can anyone explain what specific features xserver-xgl adds to a system over one that does not have xserver-xgl installed?
[05:00] <techgeek40> I don't see the https:// in my software sources list
[05:00] <htns> I needed to reboot, after then, I had this problem
[05:00] <techgeek40> but sources code is there
[05:00] <bod_> htns: distro?
[05:00] <bkar> skwashd-> so you never able to get to the full boot?
[05:00] <htns> bod_: 7.10
[05:00] <ethan961> htns: so nothing shows up while booting from grub to gsm?
[05:00] <nickrud> jbuncher: it's only use I know of is to let ati cards using the fglrx driver run compiz
[05:00] <jbuncher> techgeek40:  Follow this link for instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[05:01] <skwashd> bkar: if i [ctrl]-[alt]-[del] in busybox
[05:01] <htns> ethan961, that would be my best guess, it's just a blank screen
[05:01] <jbuncher> nickrud:  alrighty
[05:01] <tritium> htns: FYI: distro = ubuntu, release=7.10
[05:01] <twistedbeatfreek> how do i install a sound driver that ive placed on my desktop
[05:01] <bkar> skwashd-> then what happens?
[05:01] <bod_> htns: how much RAM have u got?
[05:01] <skwashd> it works fine
[05:01] <techgeek40> Doing that now - thank you jbuncher
[05:01] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: which driver?  it's likely already in the kernel
[05:02] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: did you read the wiki pages I sent you?
[05:02] <fatedkiss> If i updated a driver for alsa and i think the driver was bad is there any way to rollback the driver?
[05:02] <htns> bod_: I have 768 MB of RAM
[05:02] <skwashd> 704 + 64 shared video
[05:02] <htns> 509 MB of swap space
[05:02] <twistedbeatfreek> its called alsadriver 20080117
[05:02] <htns> about 3 GB of total disk space
[05:02] <bod_> fatedkiss: uninstall the alsa update
[05:02]  * skwashd reads more closely
[05:02] <bod_> htns: thats not the problem then
[05:02] <tritium> fatedkiss: never overwrite system files.  you'll break package management
[05:02] <ethan961> htns: if ctl-alt-f1 makes boot faster it seems you have the usplash resolution bug.
[05:02] <jbuncher> techgeek40:  In case it's not clear on the site, all distros have to do the "Then, add the GPG Key:" portion of those instructions.
[05:02] <fatedkiss> bod: how would i do that?
[05:02] <twistedbeatfreek> yeah i dont understand alot of the things about linux
[05:03] <bod_> nickrud: have u heard of something called readahead?
[05:03] <htns> ethan961, so should I go ahead and do ctrl-alt-f1 then during boot?
[05:03] <bod_> fatedkiss: synaptic
[05:03] <tritium> fatedkiss: if you _did_ replace a system file, hopefully you kept a backup?
[05:03] <nickrud> bod_: read chunks of the hard drive, anticipating needed sectors ?
[05:03] <tritium> fatedkiss: which file, specifically?
[05:03] <rabiddachshund> I'm trying to install Apache2 onto a Gutsy Ubuntu but it keeps asking for the install disk so it can find libapr1. What can I add/remove to/from my sources.list to stop that?
[05:03] <tsrk> I just installed hybserv (for use with ircd), but I can't get it to work.  When I run it, it says: Unable to open SETPATH (/etc/hybserv/settings.conf).  Anyone know why that might be?
[05:03] <rabiddachshund> Xubuntu**
[05:03] <fatedkiss> alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3
[05:04] <bod_> nickrud: thought so ,.,. cheers
[05:04] <amin> hi rooms
[05:04] <nickrud> rabiddachshund: system->admin->software sources, uncheck the cdrom
[05:04] <skwashd> bkar: btw the live cd works every boot
[05:04] <tritium> fatedkiss: no, the path to the file you replaced
[05:04] <rabiddachshund> ty
[05:04] <bod_> htns: go into System-->Admin-->Synaptic package manager
[05:04] <skwashd> but that isn't the ideal solution ... this is my mother in law's PC :)
[05:04] <bod_> htns: search for readahead
[05:04] <twistedbeatfreek> tritium: i can physically see the driver on my desktop i can open it but what i do with the folders inside is beyond me i need help
[05:04] <mkquist> hey all is flash working or not atm?
[05:04] <fatedkiss> tritium: umm.. i probably really couldnt tell
[05:04] <jfholeary> Is anyone here available to answer a question for me?
[05:04] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: did you read the URLs I sent you?
[05:04] <narothepharoh> how do i change permissions to my dvd drives to read and write?
[05:05] <bod_> jfholeary: wots up?
[05:05] <jbuncher> mkquist:  it works on my two machines
[05:05] <mkquist> tty
[05:05] <bkar> skwashd-> i dont know why yours need to stop at busybox, using ctrl+alt+del does same as cold boot with access to bios, so i dont see that any differently
[05:05] <twistedbeatfreek> uhh i went to the webpage and it was a forum that was talking about problems it didnt say how i fix it
[05:05] <htns> bod_: k, there are three results, and one of them, readahead, is installed
[05:05] <jfholeary> bod_: I'm having a issue with my printer. Currently when I print something the font is so small it's almost illegible, how would I change the settings?
[05:05] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  just ask, and if people can answer, they shall
[05:05] <htns> one is preload and the other is readahead-list
[05:05] <tritium> !properenglish | bod_
[05:05] <ubotu> bod_: English is a language with rules, grammar, and correct spellings.  Please don't abuse it with AIM-speak and misspelling common words because you are lazy or just being stupid.
[05:05] <jfholeary> Thank you, jbuncher
[05:05] <bod_> tritium: sorry
[05:05] <brandon> does anyone hear know about the problem with nVidia sound drives and gutsy compatibility?
[05:06] <amin> hi
[05:06] <jbuncher> brandon: No, what are you referring to?
[05:06] <skwashd> bkar: its got me stumped too
[05:06] <edwin> does anyone have merb installed by crazy off chance?
[05:06] <bod_> htns: click on the green box next to readahead and tick 'mark for reinstallation' this thing is he only thing i no that can speed up grub loading time
[05:06] <bkar> jfholeary-> from which applications are you printing from?
[05:06] <fatedkiss> tritium: i did a sudo ./config ...let it run..i really didnt make a back up i know i should have, im cheking the log of it now to see where it installed
[05:06] <ethan961> htns: yes, that would confirm that you are affected by the bug. If so, you should change the contents of /etc/usplash.conf to your screen resolution and then perform "sudo update-initramfs  'uname
[05:06] <brandon> there is a new version called hardy coming out and i heard it will fix the problem
[05:06] <amin> I have some problems after install kde 4.0 in ubuntu.
[05:06] <mojo> Why would my sound cards (mobo-realtek and creative-audigy2zs) sometimes flip-flop after a reboot, from hw:0,0 to hw:1,0 and vice-versa?  where is the designation for each card specified?  how do i change/set that with alsa?
[05:06] <ethan961> -r
[05:07] <bod_> jfholeary: sorry not my forte im afraid
[05:07] <jbuncher> brandon:  What specific problem are you referring to?
[05:07] <jfholeary> bkar: It happens from every applications. I tried to print something from firefox and from OpenOffice and I came back with the same result.
[05:07]  * mojo is on gutsy amd64
[05:07] <brandon> i was on here last night and the guys helping me are not here tonight
[05:07] <htns> okay, I'll do both, ill let you guys know how it turns out ^_^
[05:07] <jfholeary> bod_: Thank you anyway!
[05:07] <tritium> fatedkiss: apt-get and aptitude both have reinstall options.  You can reinstall the alsa packages.
[05:07] <bod_> np
[05:07] <narothepharoh> how do i change permissions to my dvd drives to read and write?
[05:07] <htns> thx for the help
[05:07] <brandon> i cannot hear any sound
[05:07] <amin> my network manager doesn't work correctly after install kde 4.0.
[05:07] <bod_> htns: after thats reinstalled ,. do a reboot and let me no if its faster
[05:07] <twistedbeatfreek> tritium: can u help me on pidgin or something i cant figure this out at all
[05:08] <ethan961> htns: sorry hit enter, "sudo update-initramfs 'uname -r'l
[05:08] <htns> bod_: okay
[05:08] <htns> ethan961, okay
[05:08] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: you can /query me
[05:08] <bkar> jfholeary-> you are using cups right? look at the ppd driver that your printer is assigned to?
[05:08] <amin> actually my wireless network manager
[05:08] <skwashd> narothepharoh: sudo adduser <your-username> cdrom
[05:08] <fatedkiss> tritium: i think when i installed it im seeign a few errors in the log, such as no directory and stuff, so i think i messed it up bu installing it
[05:08] <skwashd> narothepharoh: reboot and try again :)
[05:08] <tritium> fatedkiss: likely.  It's not wise to overwrite system files.  It'll screw up the package management system.
[05:09] <bkar> amin-> umm kde use a different network manager than gnomes nm
[05:09] <amin> so what can I do?
[05:09] <fatedkiss> tritium: yeah i know that now, i was just kinda trying to get my mic to work and i followed this html file i found
[05:09] <bkar> amin-> look around for knetwork? or kdmnetwork maybe?
[05:09] <jfholeary> bkar: I'm using CUPS/BJC-600
[05:09] <bkar> amin you can google for kde4 network manager
[05:09] <twistedbeatfreek> tritium what did that query thing do ?
[05:10] <ethan961> htns: I apologize for poor typing, trying to type this on my iphone
[05:10] <mikeylikesit5805> why is it taking so long to "scan the mirror" in setup
[05:10] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: it's like a PM in IRC
[05:10] <rabiddachshund> sweet. It worked, thanks.
[05:10] <htns> ethan961, lol o wow
[05:10] <rabiddachshund> How cpu intensive is apache2?
[05:10] <bkar> jfholeary-> on your browser,   localhost:631 and manage the settings there
[05:10] <htns> ethan961, I know how hard that is, my brother owns one too
[05:10] <twistedbeatfreek> ./query tritium is what i typed
[05:10] <amin> it doesn't work . I have to 1 log to gnome and after that log out and log in to kde 4 to use my internet.
[05:10] <fatedkiss> tritium: im thinking of maybe just reinstalling the OS and starting from scratch. i do know more about linux now then when i stated (slowly learning)
[05:10] <htns> ethan961, i think you're right though, usplash.conf was set to the wrong resolution, it was too high for me
[05:11] <htns> ill brb though and let you guys know
[05:11] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: you have to have a registered nick to do so
[05:11] <ethan961> htns:ok
[05:11] <tritium> fatedkiss: it's an option
[05:11] <fatedkiss> tritium what would you suggest?
[05:11] <bkar> amin-> look at your /etc/network/interfaces settings
[05:11] <bod_> fatedkiss: a complete reinstall is quite drastic ,.,. i suggest googleing first
[05:11] <jfholeary> bkar: Oh wow, thanks!
[05:12] <amin> is anyone know how it possible to get backup of ubuntu before reinstall that?
[05:12] <tritium> fatedkiss: that's really up to you, depending on how much you've invested it the current install.
[05:12] <twistedbeatfreek> tritium how do i get a registered nick
[05:12] <bod_> amin: could u re-phrase that to make sense plz
[05:12] <bkar> jfholeary-> okay, you're welcome and good luck
[05:12] <tritium> !register | twistedbeatfreek
[05:12] <ubotu> twistedbeatfreek: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about  registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[05:12] <fatedkiss> tritium: yeah that why im kinda debating it, all ive really done is got my wifi working, my ati driver...and messed up my sound
[05:13] <narothepharoh> skwashd first it said i am already a user then i did it for the other one and it said,sudo adduser narothepharoh CD-RW/DVD±RW Drive
[05:13] <narothepharoh> adduser: Only one or two names allowed.
[05:13] <bkar> !clone | amin
[05:13] <ubotu> amin: 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
[05:13] <jfholeary> bkar: It's asking for my username and password whenever I try to change anything, do I just type in my root password and username?
[05:13] <twistedbeatfreek> !register | twistedbeatfreek
[05:13] <tritium> fatedkiss: and, indeed, a complete reinstall is usually quite drastic.  I'd first try the apt-get install --reinstall option on some alsa packages that you overwrote packages in.
[05:13] <jfholeary> ....
[05:13] <jfholeary> Never mind I should have read the first page.
[05:13] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: no, read the URL ubotu sent you
[05:13] <bkar> jfholeary-> man lppasswd,  you have to be root i think to assign it to users..but am not 100% sure for this one
[05:14] <mojo> !automate
[05:14] <ubotu> Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning
[05:14] <twistedbeatfreek> kk
[05:14] <skwashd> narothepharoh: adduser <username> cdrom ... not  CD-RW/DVD±RW Drive
[05:14] <fatedkiss> tritium: ill try that i appreciate the help
[05:14] <jfholeary> bkar: okay, thanks.
[05:14] <tritium> fatedkiss: sure.  Good luck.
[05:14] <narothepharoh> skwashd: i did cdrom first and it said i am already a member
[05:15] <edwin> join #merb
[05:15] <tritium> fatedkiss: note that "dpkg -l | grep alsa" will tell you what alsa packages you have installed, and give you a place to start
[05:15] <skwashd> narothepharoh: ls /dev/cdrom -l
[05:16] <techgeek40> <---has now banged head on desktop a few times - anyone got advil?
[05:16] <pabix> Hello everybody. I would like to crop an .eps file; how is this possible?
[05:16] <fatedkiss> tritium: sweet, i just sorta like to chill in here, i like the support. i like to read whats going on learn that way too
[05:16] <jbuncher> techgeek40:  What's the issue?
[05:16] <tritium> fatedkiss: that's a good way to learn :)
[05:16] <narothepharoh> skwashd: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-01-20 21:40 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
[05:16] <narothepharoh> ????
[05:16] <Daworm> Was installing runit so I can get svn up and running (apparently needed the package) but I get this at the end : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52866/ : is that bad??
[05:16] <bod_> fatedkiss: this is the best place to learn
[05:16] <skwashd> narothepharoh: ls -l /dev/hdc
[05:16] <bod_> does anyone no if there is a linux gaming channel?
[05:16] <techgeek40> jbuncher: just wishing there were a way to get some sort of decent desktop for this darn openchrome video card -
[05:17] <aceraxon> I'm new to linux so I'm just trying to soak this up
[05:17] <fatedkiss> tritium, bod, i just wish i new as much about linux as i do windows
[05:17] <genii> bod_: Try #linux-gamers
[05:17] <tritium> fatedkiss: give it time.
[05:17] <bod_> genii: cheers
[05:17] <bod_> fatedkiss: me too m8
[05:17] <jbuncher> pabix:  I haven't found a good way to do it, but I've opened the .eps file in gedit and manually edit the bounding box until I get the boundary I want.
[05:17] <aceraxon> I actually work for Gateway computers and people are so pissed about Vista I figured I should give Linux a go
[05:17] <narothepharoh> skwashd: brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 2008-01-20 21:40 /dev/hdc
[05:17] <fatedkiss> tritium: yeah, i know itll take time i love what i see so far
[05:17] <pabix> jbuncher, Oh, I see
[05:17] <tritium> aceraxon: cool, and welcome
[05:17] <pabix> I'll try to do that
[05:17] <jbuncher> techgeek40:  Ah, well I've got no idea on that one.
[05:18] <pabix> thank you
[05:18] <tritium> fatedkiss: :)
[05:18] <skwashd> narothepharoh: so if you are in the cdrom group you should have read and write access to the device
[05:18] <jbuncher> aceraxon:  I've had very good experiences with Gateway Intel Laptops and Ubuntu
[05:18] <tsrk> Hi, for some reason in file permissions lots more groups are showing than in the groups management dialog.  This is really a problem because I have added groups and they aren't appearing in the group management place so I can't add users to it.  Anyone know why this would be?
[05:18] <techgeek40> I was praying I could use my Nvidia pci video card - but it just won't work for some strange reason
[05:18] <narothepharoh> skwashd: it wont let me change any access it says permission denied
[05:18] <bod_> techgeek40: why wont it work ,.,. drivers?
[05:18] <twistedbeatfreek> tritium ok i registered my nick what now
[05:19] <genii> bod_: Try #linux-gamers.net    rather :)
[05:19] <aceraxon> jbuncher: that's good to hear, I like Gateway, my favorite place to work, I'm just too much a computer geek, turning an old system I built into something usable with Ubuntu
[05:19] <Daworm> Was installing runit so I can get svn up and running (apparently needed the package) but I get this at the end : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52866/ : is that bad??
[05:19] <bod_> genii: yer the other one didnt work ,.,. cheers
[05:19] <jbuncher> pabix:  Yeah, it was a pain.  I wish I knew of a better way.
[05:19] <skwashd> narothepharoh: what is "it" ? :)
[05:19] <narothepharoh> skwashd: brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 2008-01-20 21:40 /dev/hdc
[05:19] <narothepharoh> ,Sorry, couldn't change the permissions of "CD-RW/DVD±RW Drive".
[05:19] <techgeek40> bod: Not sure - nickrud and I tried - he's good - but when I boot - it stops at the load boot script (/etc/rc.local)  [OK]
[05:19] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: /query tritium
[05:19] <stunatra> Has the flash issue been resolved yet?
[05:19] <misslecommander> can someone suggest a good backup app to backup my current config and packages installed, on this account ?
[05:19] <tritium> stunatra: not yet
[05:19] <skwashd> narothepharoh: any changes will be lost of reboot
[05:19] <sp0ro> I have a problem with my login screen resolution; it is a higher resolution than my desktop screen. I looked at the solutions on the forums saying to edit the xorg.conf file, but my xorg.conf has none of the lines they say to edit. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52867/  Ok, so now that we know my xorg.conf has none of the lines that the fixes say to edit, my question is this: Should I add the "Display" and "Virtual" lines manually and
[05:19] <sp0ro>  their corresponding values? If so, where?
[05:19] <techgeek40> I did the ctrl+alt+F2 - and got the command prompt - but from there :<
[05:20] <zetheroo> can someone tell me how to once and for all kill the network-manager-gnome applet?
[05:20] <bod_> techgeek40: nickrud = better then me ,.,. sory
[05:20] <Cpudan80> stunatra: No, there is a workaround if you must have it right away
[05:20] <Cpudan80> !flash > stunatra
[05:20] <jbuncher> aceraxon:  Yeah, they were semi-recent laptops.  I even used Ubuntu to fix a messed up Vista partition.  Those restore discs that came with hte machine wouldn't even boot.
[05:20] <Darkmystere_> i keep getti this error from Linux o /home/son9524/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor3/torrent: Cannot talk to klauncher
[05:20] <techgeek40> bod: He's good - I've been a windows tech for years - 26 - but linux - totally new and I feel like an idiot -
[05:20] <stunatra> Thanks Cpudan80, tritium
[05:20] <Darkmystere_> iyt was working earlier.. when i first installed
[05:20] <zetheroo> anyone?
[05:20] <techgeek40> But everyone here has been VERY helpful - and it's appreciated
[05:20] <n00bie> i recently ordered myself a dell xps m1330 notebook... my question is, is HDMI supported in ubuntu 7.10 ?
[05:20] <Cpudan80> stunatra: no problemo
[05:21] <bod_> techgeek40: i no how u feel ,.,. its like moving to a new country ,.,.lol
[05:21] <pabix> jbuncher, If ever I find a better way, I'll let you know :)
[05:21] <tritium> n00bie: it depends on the video driver, but yes
[05:21] <edwin> zetheroo: killall nm-applet?
[05:21] <techgeek40> I have a five year old - i'll zip her up and send if someone wants here LOL (just kidding - she's joy - but at 12 in the morning and she is still up)
[05:22] <zetheroo> edwin: thanks... will try that
[05:22] <techgeek40> bod: I can put together a ten pc network - with a server and get it up and running - but with this - OH MY GOD!
[05:22] <jbuncher> pabix: that would be most appreciated :)  I'd even be happy finding a program in linux that will display the coordinates of the cursor over the eps file, which would make editing the bounding box much less guess and check.
[05:22] <n00bie> tritium, it's a 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
[05:22] <bod_> techgeek40: ha,.,. i dont wanna be in ur shoes ,.,.lol,.,.
[05:22] <wyclif> hey everybody
[05:22] <tritium> n00bie: the nvidia drivers support it
[05:22] <techgeek40> I can dual boot windows vista and xp - and even have a VNC for them - but ;<
[05:22] <fatedkiss> would sudo aptitude reinstall <filename> work? or do i have to add a url to get the file from?
[05:23] <edwin> zetheroo, if that works, you can go to system > preferences > sessions and save the session so that it never starts up again
[05:23] <pabix> jbuncher, maybe to do this you include it in a LaTeX file, put it right on the upper-left hand corner, and use xdvi
[05:23] <techgeek40> She wants to play run around the house with daddy because I do that with her a lot (she has me wrapped around her fingers - she knows that LOL)
[05:23] <zetheroo> edwin: super
[05:23] <bod_> techgeek40: with windows if i dont no how to do something ,. ten mins on google will fix my problem ,.,. here 2 mins in this forum will get u someone working on it personally ,.,. its much better then any MS support
[05:23] <tritium> fatedkiss: you have to use the package name from the repo
[05:23] <edwin> fatedkiss: sudo aptitude reinstall <package> does work
[05:23] <jbuncher> pabix:  maybe, but I'm trying to narrow down the number of steps, and keep the raw eps files
[05:24] <misslecommander> sp0ro: you still need help with the resolution issue ?
[05:24] <edwin> tritium: darn you and your quick replies
[05:24] <sp0ro> misslecommander: Yes, please. :)
[05:24] <techgeek40> MS Is good - I won't fault them - except some of the bs they pull - and it's good for the average user - but for a power user like me - that always wants to learn - lol
[05:24] <tritium> edwin: :)
[05:24] <Dr_willis> i can fault ms for a lot of things they do for the average user... :)
[05:24] <misslecommander> sp0ro: i looked at your pastebin, it looks like you are missing what is needed
[05:25] <bod_> techgeek40: i hate MS because they made me pay for a system that they should be struggling to GIVE AWAY
[05:25] <edwin> complete irc newb question, are people just manually typing in names followed by a colon to reply to questions, or is there some faster way to do it?
[05:25] <tigliona1bit> I have universe in my repos and am using gutsy but I can't find this package with apt-cache search rubygems http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/interpreters/rubygems  what's up with that?
[05:25] <jbuncher> techgeek40:  I just get a special level of satisfaction out of using linux tools to fix MS systems :)
[05:25] <TylerJGillies> edwin, try enter a few characters and hit tab
[05:25] <bod_> edwin: it shows up as red so its easier to see when someones talking to u
[05:25] <bod_> edwin: but yes
[05:25] <techgeek40> jbuncher: LOL that part I won't argue I do too
[05:25] <edwin> TylerJGillies: mmmm autocomplete...LOVE IT
[05:25] <chronographer> Hi all. I have a new issue with my gutsy install, where shutdown doesn't work anymore. I have to use init 0 which does work. When I click shutdown or restart, the screen becomes unresponsive and then nothing happens, no windows close etc.
[05:25] <hakuna_matata_24> 123
[05:25] <sp0ro> misslecommander; Yes I am. :) I have no idea why it's missing crucial lines like that. I am running the restricted nVidia drivers at the moment in case you were wondering.
[05:25] <misslecommander> spOro: this URL> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto      this section>        SubSection "Display"
[05:25] <techgeek40> But - I have got to go - I have to get to bed - :< work (gag) will be here too darn soon
[05:25] <techgeek40> Thank you all for the help
[05:26] <mkquist> edwin: i think it depends on ur software but in konversation u type a letter then <tab> gives u a list of names
[05:26] <fatedkiss> tritium, edwin, i wanna try install my ol ddriver but i dont necceseraly know where it was stored, is there a default location for drivers?
[05:26] <bod_> techgeek40: cya m8
[05:26] <techgeek40> You have a good one everyone - enjoy
[05:26] <sp0ro> misslecommander: Thanks, I'll take a look at that.
[05:26] <techgeek40> bod_: good night
[05:26] <tritium> fatedkiss: /var/cache/apt/archives
[05:26] <edwin> mkquist: using x-chat
[05:26] <misslecommander> sp0ro: let me know
[05:26] <mkquist> oops nm
[05:26] <fatedkiss> tritium, sweet
[05:26] <tritium> fatedkiss: but, as I said, use the package name, not the full file name
[05:26] <mkquist> edwin: does it do the same?
[05:26] <edwin> actually, i'm wanting to say that autocomplete is a systemwide program/feature, cause it works everywhere
[05:26] <wyclif> edwin: personally, I like BitchX
[05:27] <edwin> mkquist: yep.. should have known, i use it in the command line all the time...DOH!
[05:27] <mkquist> lol
[05:27] <bod_> edwin: lol
[05:27] <edwin> wtf?
[05:27] <tritium> edwin: yes, tab-completion is implemented in many apps
[05:27] <fatedkiss> tritium. so the package name would be like, alsa-driver*.tar.bz2?
[05:28] <edwin> ok...weird, now tabe just repeats "wyggler2 wyclif every time
[05:28] <tritium> fatedkiss: nope
[05:28] <wyclif> navigating the install options in openssh
[05:28] <edwin> i must have triggered something by accident
[05:28] <tritium> fatedkiss: which package do you want to reinstall?  It should be lised in the output of "dpkg -l | grep alsa"
[05:28] <wyclif> yeah
[05:28] <zetheroo> what
[05:28] <tritium> (else it's not intalled already, and hence not re-installable)
[05:28] <zetheroo> ???
[05:28] <underwatercow> Is there a way in GNOME to insert characters by a shortcut instead of from the character map, ie. in Windows you can press alt+ a number combination.
[05:28] <edwin> anyone know what i could have messed up?
[05:29] <edwin> oooh, never mind
[05:29] <fatedkiss> tritium,  alsa-base                                  1.0.14-1ubuntu2              ALSA driver configuration files
[05:29] <fatedkiss> ?
[05:29] <edwin> found out what's up
[05:29] <bod_> lol
[05:29] <zetheroo> what about the start menu
[05:29] <sp0ro> misslecommander: FYI, my problem is not the desktop resolution, it's the login resolution. My desktop resolution is 1280x1024, while my login resolution is 1900x1440 I believe. Isn't the display line only for correcting desktop resolutions?
[05:29] <mkquist> lol
[05:29] <edwin> its just listing all the matches it has....
[05:29] <bod_> edwin: wot was it?
[05:29] <edwin> meaning i didn't type enough characters
[05:29] <tritium> fatedkiss: alsa-base is the name of that particular package
[05:29] <fatedkiss> tritium, ok gotcha
[05:30] <edwin> eg, for bod, i just have to type bod, then tab, because b + tab gets me everyone and their mother
[05:30] <edwin> thats what i get when i try to tab complete in a room full of 1000+ users :|
[05:30] <bod_> edwin: yer,. i didnt realise that was wot u meant,.,.lol
[05:30] <edwin> fatedkiss: thank you
[05:31] <tritium> edwin: hit tab multiple times until the proper nick is listed
[05:31] <sp0ro> misslecommander: brb, restarting X to see if these changes worked.
[05:31] <buyaka> im trying to run hdparm on my hard disk .. is there a shorter way of referring to my drive rather then /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3320620AS_6QF139KJ ?
[05:31] <fatedkiss> edwin, >.> what i do?
[05:31] <tritium> edwin: else, type more characters before trying to use tab-completion
[05:31] <edwin> fatedkiss: nothing its just typing "fat+tab" actually gets me your name instead of a huge friggin list
[05:32] <n_i_c_k> What might be the cause of a disk suddenly becoming read-only?
[05:32] <edwin> tritium: i figured that out the hard way, lol
[05:32] <bod_> edwin: i didnt no that worked in x-chat ,.,.., cool
[05:32] <fatedkiss> edwin, oh i was like *shifty eyes
[05:32] <tritium> edwin: :)
[05:32] <misslecommander_> Firefox still giving me issues
[05:33] <edwin> n_i_c_k: are you using multiple keyboard layouts?
[05:33] <bod_> misslecommander, wots up?
[05:33] <n_i_c_k> edwin: no
[05:33] <tritium> bod_: s/wot/what.  it's not hard to do
[05:33] <tritium> bod_: one exra letter...
[05:33] <misslecommander_> bod_: t seems to randomly crash while using it, and dumps the OS along with it
[05:33] <htns> bod_, nalioth: thanks a lot, I can see the boot up screen now and it boots up VERY quickly
[05:33] <bod_> tritium,  wot?? im so confused??????
[05:33] <tritium> !properenglish
[05:33] <ubotu> English is a language with rules, grammar, and correct spellings.  Please don't abuse it with AIM-speak and misspelling common words because you are lazy or just being stupid.
[05:33] <HorizonXP> hey, how can i update to the latest version of wine? right now, i'm at 0.9.46
[05:33] <misslecommander_> bod_: freezes OS
[05:33] <bod_> misslecommander_, have u tried reinstalling firefox?
[05:34] <nalioth> HorizonXP: perhaps asking in #winehq would help
[05:34] <mkquist> anyone have any suggestions on a cd labeling proggie?
[05:34] <tritium> bod_: in other words, "wot" is *not* a word
[05:34] <misslecommander_> bod_: i was thinking of that just before it froze
[05:34] <misslecommander_> bod_: i can do that through SPM ?
[05:34] <bod_> tritium,  sorry,.,. bad habbits
[05:34] <wyclif> tritium it is if you're in the UK
[05:34] <bod_> misslecommander_,  yer,.,. just search for firefox then mark for reinstallation
[05:34] <w4rd> wot = wide open throttle to me, but I'm a car guy :P
[05:34] <tigliona1bit> guys?  What would couse the rubygems package to not show up in my apt-cache search?  I have universe enabled...
[05:35] <bod_> w4rd, lol
[05:35] <misslecommander_> bod_: it had been giving me problems from day 1, so i think its time it needs a beating
[05:35] <tigliona1bit> what happens when you search for it?
[05:35] <sp0ro> misslecommander: We now have a bigger problem, it's running in low graphics mode with no restricted driver support with 800x600 and 600x480 resolution support. :(
[05:35] <bod_> misslecommander_, to right
[05:35] <jfholeary> Okay, I can't figure out how to change anything on the CUPS homepage.
[05:35] <jfholeary> In fact, I'm even more confused now.
[05:35] <misslecommander_> bod_: thank you,
[05:35] <bod_> misslecommander_, no probs
[05:35] <w4rd> tigliona1bit: try 'aptitude search rubygems'
[05:35] <n2diy_> w4rd: QSL?
[05:35] <brandon> hey im in terminal and i just need clarification of what a message I just got means...
[05:35] <bod_> k
[05:35] <w4rd> n2diy_: huh?
[05:36] <tigliona1bit> w4rd: I get nothing
[05:36] <misslecommander_> spOro: do what that pages says, all the way through. the structure of the file, may be important (indents, sysntax)
[05:36] <brandon> Please, run the configure script as first...
[05:36] <brandon> brandon@ubuntu:~/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.12$ sudo make install
[05:36] <n2diy_> w4rd, never mind, your nick looks like a ham radio call sign.
[05:36] <w4rd> tigliona1bit: you have the universe and metaverse repositories enabled, right?
[05:36] <tigliona1bit> I have universe
[05:36] <genii> brandon: it means do:  ./configure;make install
[05:36] <bod_> brandon, its gonna install a sound driver for u
[05:36] <nickrud> tigliona1bit: run   apt-get update  , then search again, if you don't find it you don't have universe enabled right
[05:36] <w4rd> n2diy_: oh, lol - 'ward' (my name) was taken
[05:36] <tigliona1bit> here, I'll pastie my sources.list, though it's the default.  And yes I've done that
[05:37] <misslecommander_> spOro: it did fix the issue with the resolution to some extent ?
[05:37] <tritium> brandon: Do you really need to compile it?  It's installed by default.
[05:37] <n2diy_> w4rd, roger roger, 73.
[05:37] <Celes> ohh deary
[05:37] <brandon> i hear no sound right now because i have an nVidia soundcard, so i am doing some updating
[05:37] <tigliona1bit> http://rafb.net/p/Hjbaaa70.html
[05:37] <edwin> so anyone else on gnome using something o?ther than x-chat
[05:37]  * Celes needs to learn ubuntu
[05:37] <bod_> edwin: no
[05:38] <wyclif> edwin: yes.. BitchX.  great in a terminal.
[05:38] <brandon> genii, do i write that directly after what it has written then?
[05:38] <jbuncher> edwin:  I use pidgin at times
[05:38] <n2diy_> edwin: I just joined the party, I'm using xchat-gnome.
[05:38] <misslecommander_> spOro: the restrocted driver may have not liked the changes, i prob should have said to disable the restricted driver, and try that. then do the fix if need be, and move onto enabling the restricted driver.
[05:38] <jfholeary> Okay, I'm a completely new, and not exactly computer savvy user trying to configure my print right now. Someone told me to go to the CUPS webpage and that didn't help at all, and in fact it's even confusing. So is there anyone here who can fix this issue for me step by step? I'm having a issue with my printer. Currently when I print something the font is so small it's almost illegible, how would I change the settings?
[05:38] <w4rd> tigliona1bit: looks fine to me - did you run 'sudo apt-get update' afterwards?
[05:39] <tigliona1bit> http://rafb.net/p/CbS1kP90.html
[05:39] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: I did do all the changes, upon reboot of X the restricted driver was disabled.
[05:39] <wyclif> i tried xchat-gnome but i don't like it as much as BitchX...i like the way BitchX does threading
[05:39] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  What kind of printer, and has it printed "normally" in ubuntu before?
[05:39] <dedi> can someone do me a favor and paste the output of "ls -la /var" please?
[05:39] <genii> brandon: You can do them separately if you like. Eg:   ./configure                    and then when that finishes do:   make install
[05:39] <nickrud> tigliona1bit: are you sure it's available in dapper?
[05:39] <misslecommander_> spOro: your resolution issue fixed ?
[05:39] <tigliona1bit> nickrud: I thought I was using gutsy
[05:39] <dissident> i have this new hdd sda1 how can i write to it, it says no permission
[05:39] <tigliona1bit> whoopsies
[05:40] <bod_> dedi: it gives me file permissions on things do u want me to pste bin it?
[05:40] <jfholeary> jbuncher: No, it's never printed normally in any application I've used. The print is a MultiPASS MP390 made by Cannon.
[05:40] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: No, it made it worse. Everything is now at 800x600. I'll repost my new xorg.conf in a sec
[05:40] <dissident> and also when booting i have to be as root to mount it
[05:40] <nickrud> tigliona1bit: no, your repos say dapper
[05:40] <misslecommander_> spOro: ok, hold a second
[05:40] <tigliona1bit> :B just signed up at slicehost and I guess the form reset that field when it didn't submit the first time.  Thanks for catching that
[05:40] <brandon> so press enter on what it has now then when it is clear type ./configure;make install
[05:40] <dedi> bod_: yeah :) i messed some permissions up and have to set that right again
[05:40] <bod_> !pastebin
[05:40] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:40] <misslecommander_> spOro: yes please post new xorg
[05:40] <brandon> genii should I type sudo first?
[05:41] <monzie> Hi all
[05:41] <monzie> I want to make an SSL certificate for apache
[05:41] <grigora> has anyone succeeded in putting music on an iPhone from Ubuntu?
[05:41] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Hmm...I don't know that canon printers work all that well, but I could be wrong.  Is it only the font that is really tiny, or does the entire document get scaled down?
[05:41] <wyclif> brandon after you run configure, THEN run make install
[05:41] <monzie> I am using Ubuntu 7.10
[05:41] <monzie> how do i do that?
[05:41] <bod_> dedi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52868/
[05:41] <jfholeary> jbuncher: The entire document is scaled down.
[05:41] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  are you using gutsy?
[05:41] <dedi> great thing, thank you bod_
[05:42] <bod_> dedi: no probs
[05:42] <genii> brandon: needing sudo depends on what you are "making". Usually you should do something like:  more README   or for the similar file instead of README that comes with the source code
[05:42] <dissident> he guys how to use my new ext3 formatted hdd (just for data, not system)
[05:42] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Yup.
[05:42] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52869/
[05:42] <edwin> is there a script to auto-regenerate your menu entries?
[05:42] <Dr_willis> !mount
[05:42] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[05:42] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Ok.  Honestly, I haven't run in to this before, but I'll see if I can help.  Go to System -> Administration -> Printing
[05:42] <edwin> i had to manually install x-chat, but it doens't have an icon
[05:43] <fatedkiss> i forgot it but theres a command to show current listing of avail sounds cards, it wasnt lspci thou
[05:43] <brandon> genii, ok, but my question is do i type the "configure" part in now after the "brandon@ubuntu:~/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.12$ sudo make install
[05:43] <brandon> " part?
[05:43] <bod_> edwin: why didnt u install it through synaptic?
[05:43] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Okay, I'm there.
[05:43] <edwin> i did, lol
[05:43] <edwin> bod_: i did
[05:43] <misslecommander_> spOrO: looks to be you dont have all the possible modes there, let me look at my xorg, and i will see if i can give you the others
[05:43] <bod_> edwin: oh,.,. weird
[05:43] <grigora> monzie: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html
[05:43] <fismoll8> high all--trying to install freenx from the deb files on the nomachine website. Getting the following error: Package nxnode is not configured yet
[05:43] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Select your printer on the left under "Local Printers", and on the right go to the "Job Options" tab
[05:43] <nickrud> edwin: click the menu button a couple of times
[05:43] <wyclif> edwin i have a fresh install, when I installed xchat it dropped the icon in the menu
[05:44] <edwin> bod_: i uninstalled some things that i didn't need, and i think x-chat was a part of that package or something
[05:44] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Okay!
[05:44] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  There should be a "scaling" option, is that set to 100%?
[05:44] <grigora> anyone knows if it's possible to sync with iPhone from Ubuntu?
[05:44] <genii> brandon: put it after the brandon@ubuntu:~/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.1.12$          part
[05:44] <bod_> edwin: mark x-chat for reinstallation,.,. should put the right things bak
[05:44] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: I don't have 800x600 or 600x640, that wouldn't effect the resolution I am trying to boot in.
[05:44] <Nath_> Hi all, can anybody help me with a wireless problem?
[05:44] <sp0ro> 600x480*
[05:44] <genii> brandon: remember it is ./configure   and not just configure
[05:44] <misslecommander_> spOro: add these , try to keep from largest to smallest format > "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[05:44] <wyclif> grigora have you tried Amarok?
[05:44] <edwin> bod_:  up, up, and away to the cli
[05:45] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Yeah... and I've set it up to %1,000 and it still printed the same way.
[05:45] <fismoll8> anyone know how to set up freenx
[05:45] <bod_> edwin: wtf?
[05:45] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: How would that effect how I am trying to boot up? I am trying *NOT* to boot into anything lower than 1280x1024.
[05:45] <Elevator_Hazard> fismoll8: what are you running? it should be set up and such.
[05:45] <nickrud> jfholeary: if you print a doc with 4 pages, are all 4 pages printed on one sheet?
[05:45] <genii> brandon: And to save you reading the README since alsa is a sytem app and not a localised app for that user, afterwards: make                  then after that: sudo make install
[05:45] <misslecommander_> spOro: keeping with the format it expects is best practice
[05:45] <wyclif> grigora oops i thought you said, "iPod", HEH
[05:46] <brandon> genii ok... thx will try that
[05:46] <dedi> bod_ can you do that again for /var/run? :D nono i dont request it for every subfolder now :))
[05:46] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: Alright, I'll try restarting X and see if the changes worked.
[05:46] <grigora> wyclif: well, i haven't, but i looked at a page on help.ubuntu.com which references another page (http://www.touchdev.net/wiki/How_to_Escape_Jail) but that's not accessible ....
[05:46] <misslecommander_> spOro: ok
[05:46] <bod_> dedi: is that the whole command?
[05:46] <fismoll8> no elevator
[05:46] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Alrighty.....what do the "Text Options" Say?  Just type them in order, you don't need to say "characters per inch" or anything like that, just type "10.00, 6.00, 18, 18, 36, 36" or whatever your numbers are
[05:46] <jfholeary> nickrud: No, it would probably take a lot more than that since a document with one page comes out in about four pages, but it's all super small.

[05:46] <ubotu> firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins
[05:46] <dedi> bod_: ls -la /var/run
[05:46] <fismoll8> Elevator: I am running ubuntu--installed client, node, and server from no machine website
[05:46] <edwin> ah, well i used xchat-gnome, would that make a difference?
[05:46] <Nath_> Hi all, can anybody help me with a wireless problem?
[05:46] <nickrud> jfholeary: it sounds like you're using the wrong driver then
[05:46] <nemilar> has anyone tested out firefox 3?  is it really as fast as its claimed to be?
[05:47] <fismoll8> when installing the server, I get the error that the node isn't configured
[05:47] <nemilar> Nath_: just ask the question, if someone knows the answer they'll help
[05:47] <bazhang> nemilar: yep and yep
[05:47] <dedi> nemilar: it is
[05:47] <bod_> dedi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52870/
[05:47] <nemilar> word, that's awesome
[05:47] <fismoll8> nxserver depends on nxnode (>= 3.1.0); however:

[05:47] <dedi> bod_: very kind of you, thanks
[05:47] <jw--> heh
[05:47] <wyclif> edwin xchat-gnome is fine, i just would rather have something else
[05:47] <genii> brandon: If after the "sudo make install" part you do not see near the last few lines "depmod -a"     then issue that afterwards as well but with sudo, eg: sudo depmod -a
[05:47] <bod_> !pastebin | fismoll8
[05:47] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: Nope, still restricted to only 800x600 and 600x480 resolutions. :(
[05:47] <sledge> Could somebody take a look at bug 184730?
[05:47] <ubotu> fismoll8: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:47] <grigora> wyclif: do you know another place that has those instructions?
[05:47] <bod_> dedi: no probs
[05:47] <bazhang> !wireless | Nath_
[05:47] <ubotu> Nath_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:47] <edwin> wyclif: something else like?
[05:47] <wyclif> edwin BitchX
[05:47] <misslecommander_> spOro: how old is your monitor ?
[05:48] <khaotik> whats a good channel for reinstalling windows xp on to laptop
[05:48] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: 1 year old.
[05:48] <misslecommander_> spOro: better yet, what model is it ?
[05:48] <wyclif> grigora no, unfortunately I don't have an iPhone to try and sync...
[05:48] <edwin> wyclif: ah, you mentioned that earlier..i'll look into it
[05:48] <jfholeary> jbuncher: 10.00, 6.00, 18, 18, 36, 36
[05:48] <Nath_> My wireless is listed as "working out of the box" but I can't get ubuntu to even recognise that I have a wireless connection
[05:48] <bazhang> ##windows
[05:48] <sp0ro> misslecommander: Samsung SyncMaster 910T
[05:48] <fatedkiss> I think i identified my sound problem kinda
[05:48] <khaotik> good lookin
[05:48] <jfholeary> nickrud: This is the driver it told me to use. :/
[05:48] <wyclif> edwin try it, it's very effective
[05:48] <bod_> khaotik: i can do it if u want,.,. private chat?
[05:48] <misslecommander_> spOro: just a sec
[05:48] <Elevator_Hazard> I bet when they say out of the box they mean for everything but linux >.<
[05:48] <genii> brandon: I just noticed the alsa version you are trying to compile. It is quite old now.
[05:48] <khaotik> hells yea
[05:49] <ShakaGoldSaint> hi there people
[05:49] <Nath_> on the ubuntu webiste it is listed there
[05:49] <edwin> for the record, this is really lame: xchat-gnome doesn't install an icon, xchat does
[05:49] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Under the "Printer Options" tab, is the correct Page Size selected?
[05:49] <bod_> khaotik, have u registered with serv?
[05:49] <dissident> !diskmounter
[05:49] <ShakaGoldSaint> anyone knows an equaliser software for alsa or something like it?
[05:49] <goat|wor1> Nath_: what wireless card?
[05:49] <sp0ro> Nath_: What WLAN NIC are you using?
[05:49] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE
[05:49] <fatedkiss> whatever erased my sound card from being listed. linux isnt showing i have any sounds cards, but it is listed in the pci list
[05:49] <brandon> genii, i have one more question, its about a message i get everytime i load up.  it says failed to initialize HAL
[05:49] <khaotik> ??
[05:49] <wyclif> edwin you must be missing a file
[05:49] <brandon> any Ideas on that?
[05:49] <Nath_> belkin fd50...
[05:49] <Nath_> somthing like that
[05:49] <jfholeary> jbuncher: It's supposed to be A4, isn't it?
[05:49] <bod_> !register | khaotik
[05:49] <ubotu> khaotik: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about  registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[05:49] <Nath_> card is F5D6050z
[05:49] <nickrud> jfholeary: could be the right driver, but it sounds like  more than config. I was hoping it was a 4up or 2up issue :(
[05:50] <bod_> khaotik, do that to be able to private cat
[05:50] <bazhang> and chat
[05:50] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Probably, in the states it's usually Letter, but I think elsewhere A4 is the standard
[05:50] <ericrost> just wanted to say thanks for a well put together distro
[05:50] <sp0ro> Nath_: Are you sure you installed the proper drivers?
[05:50] <Nath_> I didn't install anything
[05:50] <nemilar> ericrost: I agree, Ubuntu is the best desktop distro out there
[05:50] <ericrost> I rebuilt my system after farking it up using module assistant in 45 minutes with no data or preferences loss
[05:51] <jfholeary> nickrud: Man, haha, this is frustrating. I was trying to set my grandmother up with Ubuntu and so far this has been the only issue. For some reason my printer works fine on my computer.
[05:51] <ericrost> and I've been using it as a produciton system for more than a year
[05:51] <rabiddachshund> If I wanted to ftp into my linux as root, how would I do that?
[05:51] <jfholeary> jbuncher: I'll try printing something with the letter format.
[05:51] <monzie> can anyone tell me how to install mod_ssl on 71.0
[05:51] <n2diy> ericrost: nemilar, say thanks by passing it on to others.
[05:51] <Qrawl> where are the cube effects, etc on Gutsy
[05:51] <nemilar> n2diy: I already have :)
[05:51] <Nath_> how do i install drivers
[05:51] <ericrost> n2diy: I try
[05:51] <goat|wor1> rabiddachshund: you never should
[05:51] <sp0ro> Nath_: Most wireless NICs don't work out of the box with Linux considering most of them are made for windows exclusively. Sec
[05:51] <bod_> Qrawl, u have to install compiz-fusion
[05:51] <monzie> can anyone tell me how to install apache-mod-ssl on ubuntu
[05:51] <nemilar> n2diy: it's hard to convert the gentoo-afficianados though
[05:52] <bazhang> !ccsm | Qrawl
[05:52] <ubotu> Qrawl: 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
[05:52] <ericrost> n2diy: I built a buddy a junk computer with ubuntu because he was about to be without his roomies rig
[05:52] <Qrawl> bod_,  ok ty
[05:52] <ericrost> n2diy: he loves it
[05:52] <Qrawl> bazhang, ty
[05:52] <misslecommander> spOro: Firefox keeps dumping me
[05:52] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Yeah, that didn't work either.
[05:52] <Nath_> so what can I do
[05:52] <rabiddachshund> but if I wanted to...
[05:52] <ericrost> n2diy: then I ssh'd in to fix a driver, and he won't go back
[05:52] <misslecommander> spOro: i have to fix Firefox, i cant help you much without it, sorry
[05:52] <Nath_> cause I can't install packages and the OS is kinda useless unless i get the wireless working
[05:52] <sp0ro> Nath_: Try reading this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437919
[05:53] <n2diy> nemilar: cool hard to convert the converted. :) ericrostcool.
[05:53] <sp0ro> misslecommander: np
[05:53] <ericrost> Nath_: do you have another running computer?
[05:53] <goat|wor1> rabiddachshund: you would have to configure your ftp server,  what ftp server are you using?
[05:53] <bod_> khaotik, ??? r u still here ???
[05:53] <rabiddachshund> vsftp
[05:53] <Nath_> I'm dual booting
[05:53] <rabiddachshund> d
[05:53] <ericrost> Nath_: then download the packages in your windows side
[05:53] <andy10204_TSL> hello?
[05:53] <khaotik> how do i register
[05:53] <bod_> hi
[05:53] <ericrost> Nath_: burn them to cd and double click on them in ubuntu
[05:53] <ericrost> Nath_: from packages.ubuntu.org
[05:53] <bod_> khaotik, r u using x-chat?
[05:53] <misslecommander> Nath: open Network, double-click Wireless coneection, setup SSIS, enable Wireless connection by checking the box
[05:53] <edwin> wyclif: i think i'm spoiled..i can't use the bitchx command line version
[05:53] <goat|wor1> rabiddachshund: it should be an option in the conf file
[05:54] <misslecommander> gtg fix Firefox
[05:54] <fatedkiss> guess tritium must be afk
[05:54] <Nath_> Wont that be a pain trying to get all the dependent files
[05:54] <Qrawl> And whats the difference between Normal and Extra in Effects
[05:54] <goat|wor1> rabiddachshund: i know it is in proftpd, not entirely sure about vsftpd
[05:54] <tritium> fatedkiss: I'm here.  what's up?
[05:54] <ericrost> Nath_: yes, but you're just shooting to get the wifi working, correct? after that you'll have a connection
[05:54] <khaotik> i was in the middle of an install of xp on a laptop that dosnt stay charged unless plugged in and the cord got kicked out and shut off
[05:54] <Nath_> I am trying to connect to an open wireless network
[05:55] <Qrawl> Normal and Extra seem the same in Visual Effects
[05:55] <fatedkiss> tritium, i belive i know what happend kinda..
[05:55] <Nath_> i only seem to have the option of turing on roaming
[05:55] <khaotik> yes using x chat on my laptop running 7.10
[05:55] <andy10204_TSL> this is my first time here
[05:55] <ericrost> Nath_: all you should need are a few statically linked packages without many dependencies, find the solution on the forums while you're on your windows side if you can
[05:55] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  I'm not well versed in installing additional printer drivers, but perhaps someone can help you with this http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-MultiPASS_MP390
[05:55] <fatedkiss> tritium, it seems my os no longer detecs the sound card i had
[05:55] <andy10204_TSL> so
[05:55] <dedi> when running screen i get a: Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 777. If i change it manually to 777 it works, but its gone after a reboot. i checked the file and directory file permissions and owner and there seems everything fine. cant find what causes the file permissions to reset at startup. same thing is with slocate
[05:55] <bod_> khaotik, to send private messages you have to register with NickServ
[05:55] <tritium> fatedkiss: how so?
[05:55] <bod_> !register | khaotik
[05:55] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Thanks... :/
[05:55] <ubotu> khaotik: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about  registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[05:56] <Nath_> Ok i'll have a look, thanks all
[05:56] <fatedkiss> tritium, dont really know. i did an lspci and it shows up: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
[05:56] <ericrost> Nath_: fyi, wifi is the WORST part of linux
[05:56] <Nath_> really
[05:56] <Nath_> damn
[05:56] <khaotik> now when i turn on system its missing the ntldr
[05:56] <fatedkiss> tritium, but asound list. shows no cards
[05:56] <ericrost> Nath_: unfortunately for us, its the first you see, too :)
[05:56] <Nath_> does it work at all?
[05:56] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  That page documents the issue you're having (image roughly 60% of size), but provides a driver to use.......I just don't know how to install it.
[05:56] <bazhang> depends ericrost on how well the card is supported
[05:56] <tritium> fatedkiss: hmm
[05:56] <ericrost> Nath_: trust me, for almost anything you'll do, its point, click, install
[05:56] <bod_> khaotik, is the hard drive formatted?
[05:56] <ericrost> bazhang: I have a ralink that was fully supported in feisty
[05:57] <ericrost> bazhang: that's now unstable in gutsy
[05:57] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Which page?
[05:57] <bazhang> Nath_: yes, though intel wireless cards are best choice
[05:57] <Nath_> ok
[05:57] <ericrost> bazhang: totally agree
[05:57] <ripdisk> i need some help installing ubuntu on an old laptop, it gives me a kernel panic and says it tried to kill an idle process, but when i use the vga=771 option it boots into a black screen
[05:57] <tritium> fatedkiss: I need to get going here.  Got to get up early for work, so I need some sleep ;)
[05:57] <Nath_> is usb ok
[05:57] <Nath_> or do i need to install a pci wireless card
[05:57] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-MultiPASS_MP390
[05:57] <bazhang> ericrost: tell me about it; ralink drove me crazy :{
[05:57] <fatedkiss> tritium, all right, see ya later ^^
[05:57] <jfholeary> jbuncher: OH! Thank you.
[05:57] <bod_> Nath_, usb is fine
[05:57] <ericrost> Nath_: pci is usually better, but I'm living with a usb for the moment
[05:57] <tritium> fatedkiss: good night, and good luck
[05:58] <ericrost> I will give up my old atheros pci cards when you pry them from my cold dead hands
[05:58] <Nath_> but intel should be better
[05:58] <ripdisk> i need some help installing ubuntu on an old laptop, it gives me a kernel panic and says it tried to kill an idle process, but when i use the vga=771 option it boots into a black screen
[05:58] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  so yeah....just need to figure out how to actually use the file they provide, and printing should be ok.
[05:58] <Nath_> Im going shopping!
[05:58] <n2diy> ripdisk: try the nodma option?
[05:58] <bazhang> superb
[05:58] <tritium> fatedkiss: I'll check up on you tomorrow night, if you're around.
[05:58] <khaotik> no it had windows xp running on it
[05:58] <Nath_> thanks again all
[05:58] <genii> brandon: I ghosted a couple times, my connection is flakey.May have missed some messages. I'll repeat the last 2 I sent
[05:58] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Yeah.
[05:58] <ripdisk> what's nodma do, n2diy
[05:58] <ericrost> Nath_: si, intel es muy bueno for wireless
[05:58] <genii> brandon: For the HAL message I'm not much help. Someone else may know.
[05:58] <bod_> ripdisk, have you got a graphics card ?
[05:58] <fatedkiss> tritium, ill be here
[05:58] <ripdisk> yes i have a graphics card, lol
[05:58] <Qrawl> Glipper should be it Ubuntu by default
[05:58] <brandon> genii, ok
[05:59] <bod_> ripdisk, try installing  without the graphics card plugged in
[05:59] <n2diy> ripdisk: no direct memory access, use the Fx key options to find out more about it.
[05:59] <sp0ro> missilecommander; I fixed the problem, was kind of a pain, but a very simple fix apparently.
[05:59] <ripdisk> bod
[05:59] <ripdisk> how would i do something like that?
[05:59] <ripdisk> i didn't even think that was possible
[05:59] <dedi> when running screen i get a: Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 777. If i change it manually to 777 it works, but its gone after a reboot. i checked the file and directory file permissions and owner and there seems everything fine. cant find what causes the file permissions to reset at startup. same thing is with slocate
[05:59] <ericrost> another kudos to everyone.. I almost installed fedora for the better ralink driver temporarily, but I went to their support channel, and found a bunch of assholes
[05:59] <bod_> ripdisk, is it a laptop or a desktop?
[05:59] <ripdisk> laptop, sir
[05:59] <wyclif> edwin the commands are the same as xchat
[06:00] <ericrost> and they're sloppy enough that their live disc for amd64 is more than 800 megs for a cd image
[06:00] <n2diy> ripdisk: during boot up you'll have options to use F5 or F6, and others, try them.
[06:00] <khaotik> i was just trying to reinstall a new copy of xp
[06:00] <bod_> ripdisk, oh,.,. u cant do that then ,.,. sorry
[06:00] <ericrost> I don't know that I've ever seen an 800 M cd-r / rw
[06:00] <ericrost> I actually went and looked to see if I was just stupid
[06:00] <bod_> khaotik, the hard drive you are trying to install xp on,.,. is it formatted?
[06:01] <ripdisk> n2diy, I get to the screen that asks me if i want to boot it up live or in save graphics mode or whatever
[06:01] <bazhang> khaotik: this is for a dual boot with ubuntu?
[06:01] <nemilar> ericrost: they exist, but they're not common
[06:01] <ripdisk> and when i boot it, even with the vga=771 option, it goes to a black screen
[06:01] <ericrost> and all I've ever gotten from the ubuntu community is good help, and not a lot of impatience and snobbery
[06:01] <edwin> wyclif: except that i don't use commands in xchat (i'm mouse spoiled)
[06:01] <n2diy> ripdisk: whatever, and explore those options.
[06:01] <wyclif> edwin there is also http://www.irchelp.org/
[06:01] <bod_> ericrost, ahmen to that
[06:01] <ericrost> just kudos to us for being a good community, which is what linux needs
[06:01] <khaotik> no its just a full reinstall of windoze for a friend
[06:01] <ripdisk> n2diy, i've read it all but i'm kind of a noob and can't figure it out
[06:02] <ripdisk> guess i can read again
[06:02] <bazhang> then best to go to ##windows khaotik
[06:02] <nemilar> ericrost: Linux has always had a good community...it needs vender support more than anything, I think
[06:02] <khaotik> no i dont think its formatted
[06:02] <edwin> wyclif: good point...
[06:02] <bod_> khaotic: format the hard drive first
[06:02] <Krumar> has anyone here successfully installed a bluetooth headset for use with a program like teamspeak or skype?
[06:02] <ericrost> nemilar: I haven't found that in some other distros... but I've loved my LUG
[06:02] <bazhang> !ot | bod_ khaotik
[06:02] <ubotu> bod_ khaotik: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:02] <Netham45> hmm, I just acquired a laptop with an Ubuntu Feisty BETA on it.
[06:02] <nemilar> the fact that the primary method of support for linux is "Just google it" is preventing Linux from getting anywhere near mainstream
[06:03] <nemilar> ericrost: yeah, LUGs are awesome
[06:03] <Morili> Hello, I can't upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10. I am typing gksu "update-manager -c" in the terminal, and I have tried F2 and typing that, and it isn't showing any upgrade available.
[06:03] <ericrost> nemilar: to offtopic?
[06:03] <n2diy> ripdisk: yes, you can. There should be something like boot=nodma, try that. I haven't installed since Dapper, 6.06, so my memory is a little foggy, GL.
[06:03] <bod_> khaotik, join this channel #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:03] <Dr_willis> nemilar,  i find that MS has caused people to not even attempt to use any of their braincells.  :)
[06:03] <ArthurArchnix> Hi... I'm searching through the forums for an answer on how to always mount usb devices with full read/write permissions for the my username. Hal mounts my ntfs usb key, or my friends, always as read only. How do I configure Hal mount policy on a per user basis?
[06:04] <nemilar> Dr_willis: it's a differing philosophy...one says that people should know the inner-workings of their computers, should work through problems...the other is that things should "just work" and when it doesn't, there should be a phone number to call
[06:04] <ripdisk> n2diy, that's not in the help thing at all
[06:04] <edwin> nemilar: i find the google method more help than the "stay-on-hold-for-3-hours-just-to-be-told-to-turn-off-my-computer-and-turn-it-back-on" methodology that xp followed (at least whenver i asked for help)
[06:04] <dedi> ripdisk: remove quiet and splash. you problably have an ati card
[06:04] <n2diy> ripdisk: it is a boot up option.
[06:04] <Dr_willis> nemik,  a phone # - with a nice $$$ attatched to it. :P
[06:04] <edwin> nemilar: also, there are commercial distros that offer the phone support
[06:04] <wyclif> edwin: HEH!
[06:04] <nemilar> edwin: yeah, definitely...I _love_ that I can answer almost any linux question by googling it, I'm just saying I don't think it's for the masses
[06:04] <n2diy> ripdisk: your passing a kernel command at boot.
[06:04] <Dr_willis> Even ubuntu has phone support! :)
[06:05] <Morili> Could someone please help me upgrade to Ubuntu 6.10?
[06:05] <Dr_willis> I think.
[06:05] <Cpudan80> Morili: 6.10 ?
[06:05] <Morili> Yes. I'm using 6.06.
[06:05] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid
[06:05] <Cpudan80> Morili: You should go up to 7.10 ...
[06:05] <Cpudan80> !upgrade | Morili
[06:05] <ubotu> Morili: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:05]  * Dr_willis sends in a resume.
[06:05] <edwin> nemilar: i'd offer up that irc is the best live support ever, but it's kind of intimidating, i mean heck, its beyond me how all these people have myspaces, but are still unfamiliar with the concept of email
[06:05] <Morili> I know, I am. But I need to go to 6.10 at first.
[06:05] <n2diy> Morili: Do you have the 6.10 CD?
[06:06] <nemilar> edwin: IRC is sooooo 1990s
[06:06] <Morili> Yes, but it is a 64-bit edition. I don't have a 64-bit processor, nor do I want to use a 64-bit OS.
[06:06] <nickrud> lol Dr_willis
[06:06] <Cpudan80> Morili: Might as well wait for the next version -- which will be LTS and have a direct upgrade path I think
[06:06] <nemilar> edwin: but it does provide the best real-time support system, hands down
[06:06] <brandon> is anyone here good with kernl
[06:06] <brandon> ?"
[06:06] <Cpudan80> Morili: "It is 64-bit edition" ?
[06:06] <Morili> Yes, my 6.10 CD is.
[06:07] <edwin> nemilar: speaking of which, i hadn't actively been on irc since the 90s, lol only came here cause i needed quick help and google wasn't giving it
[06:07] <Cpudan80> Morili: So you have to get a new CD
[06:07] <bazhang> !ask | brandon
[06:07] <ubotu> brandon: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[06:07] <Dr_willis> Yea! lets all use Yahoo to text chat! then have webcams ..  then voice chatting... then phones.. then txt msg each other on the phones! full circle.
[06:07] <jamesdell> hello! anyone have successful of making centos/redhat/fedora running for guest in ubuntu xen sever??
[06:07] <ripdisk> I just tried typing this when it said boot:, n2diy
[06:07] <Morili> I know, however I'm sure I can upgrade VIA command line.
[06:07] <Cpudan80> Morili: You can upgrade on the command line, sudo apt-get upgrade I think --- the directions should tell you
[06:07] <n2diy> brandon, try the folks in #ubuntu-kernel?
[06:07] <brandon> bzhang, what?
[06:07] <nemilar> edwin_: that's how I wound up here, too, haha... I just decided to stay, when I saw that I could help some people out
[06:07] <ripdisk> i typed live vga=771 boot=nodma
[06:07] <brandon> how do i get there?
[06:07] <ripdisk> it didn't work
[06:07] <Morili> I know Cpudan, however when I type in gksu "update-manager -c" it won't let me upgrade to the latest version.
[06:07] <Morili> Well, 6.10.
[06:08] <dedi> ripdisk: just remove any thing except "ro"
[06:08] <edwin_> gah..bitchx aint gonna do it for me. that huge modeline is rediculous
[06:08] <n2diy> ripdisk: you should have had the option to press one of the Fx keys to see the options.
[06:08] <edwin_> exit
[06:08] <Morili> Should I tell you the message I'm getting in the terminal? Perhaps you can help me from there?
[06:08] <Cpudan80> Morili: That would be good - paste the output to pastebin
[06:08] <Morili> Ok.
[06:08] <Guza> hi , what is the best software with web support for server monitoring ?
[06:08] <brandon> n2diy, how do I get there?
[06:09] <jamesdell> anyone?
[06:09] <Morili> This is the result, cpudan: "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:17: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet
[06:09] <Morili>   warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)"
[06:09] <edwin> ooh, i do like the regular xchat version better than xchat-gnome..or maybe it's just an old release
[06:09] <ripdisk> dedi: that almost worked, except it says: kernel panic - not syncing vfs: unable to mount root fs on uknown block(104,1)
[06:09] <Flannel> edwin: no, theyre different (and your preference is common, actually)
[06:09] <bazhang> !anyone | jamesdell
[06:09] <ubotu> jamesdell: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:09] <Cpudan80> Morili: Do apt-get install python-vte
[06:10] <Cpudan80> Morili: Then try that upgrade thing you were doing
[06:10] <edwin> Flannel: it just seems to be better organized
[06:10] <edwin> regardless of if that's true or not, lol
[06:10] <dedi> ripdisk: this has nothing to do with the blank screen, seems your installation has some other problems :)
[06:10] <Morili> All right, thank you very much.
[06:10] <n2diy> brandon, try the folks in /join #ubuntu-kernel?
[06:10] <jamesdell> !thanks | jamesdell
[06:10] <ripdisk> dedi: I know the CD works, it installs on other computers
[06:10] <CK_L> how to make linux dual boot?
[06:11] <CK_L> how to make linux dual boot monitor and tv?
[06:11] <bazhang> CK_L: which installed first?
[06:11] <ripdisk> also, this is just me trying to boot into the live thing, dedi
[06:11] <brandon>  /join #ubuntu-kernel
[06:11] <Cpudan80> CK_L: Dual boot monitor and TV?
[06:11] <CK_L> bazhang: sorry is monitor
[06:11] <Morili> I'm still receiving the same problem, cpudan.
[06:11] <dedi> ripdisk: into the live cd? then its strange :>
[06:11] <ArthurArchnix> How do I configure it so that everytime a new usb key is plugged in, I automatically have read and write access to that usb stick.
[06:11] <bazhang> CK_L: which OS is installed on your monitor?
[06:11] <Cpudan80> Morili: Did the python install complete successfully ?
[06:11] <ripdisk> dedi, yes sir
[06:12] <n2diy> brandon, yes, your there.
[06:12] <puff> Hi.  A make error overwrote chunks of my libc;  I'm afraid that if I do "apt-get remove" followed by "apt-get install", it'll end up removing all of the dependencies.
[06:12] <Cpudan80> Morili: sudo apt-get install python-vte
[06:12] <ripdisk> dedi, i erased everything and wrote ''ro''
[06:12] <CK_L> Cpudan80:  yup , i got 1 monitor and 1 tv , how can i display both at same time
[06:12] <ripdisk> and that's what it said
[06:12] <puff> Is there any way to tell apt to just re-download/re-install libc?
[06:12] <jbuncher> ArthurArchnix:  As far as I know, as long as the filesystem is fat32 on those, it should be configured that way already
[06:12] <Morili> It says I have the latest version all ready. (of the python vte)
[06:12] <CK_L> bazhang: sorry is dual boot monitor
[06:12] <Cpudan80> CK_L: Well.... that's something to ask after it's up and running as a dual boot
[06:12] <dedi> ripdisk: ah the root=blah you should not delete :D
[06:12] <Aloha> puff, just apt-get install again
[06:12] <brandon> n2diy, yea thx
[06:13] <Cpudan80> Morili: ehhhhh try sudo apt-get install python
[06:13] <dedi> ripdisk: kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/md1 ro
[06:13] <Morili> Ok.
[06:13] <bazhang> CK_L: dual screen? you want to output to tv and have the display on computer monitor as well?
[06:13] <jbuncher> Cpudan80, Does he actually want a "dual boot", or does he just want two monitors?
[06:13] <dedi> ripdisk: should look like this, just no more options after "ro"
[06:13] <ripdisk> dedi, there is nothing that says ''root''
[06:13] <Cpudan80> jbuncher: Dunno, hasn't said that yet
[06:13] <Morili> Same results.
[06:13] <Cpudan80> Morili: Then I dunno, sorry
[06:13] <drambuie> CK_L, i use xrandr to put it to my tv
[06:13] <n2diy> brandon, nada, but why are you mentioning audio there? They probably can't help you?
[06:13] <dedi> ripdisk: ok then i cant help, never used the live cd
[06:13] <ArthurArchnix> jbuncher: No... the last three drives I've tried to plug in have been ntfs. I know I can chown them, but I also think that hal should be configurable to automount all usb devices as r/w.
[06:13] <Morili> I only recently installed 6.06, could it have been installed improperly?
[06:14] <Cpudan80> Morili: Possibly, why did you install such an old distro?
[06:14] <jbuncher> ArthurArchnix: Ah ok.  I don't have any experience writing to ntfs from linux, much less with external usb drives.
[06:14] <ampex> what's the default mta in ubuntu?
[06:14] <misslecommander> Firefox with realplayer 10 installed. i open audio stream, 3 processes of realplayer.bon running on one audio stream/ this problem, bad install ? i see no uninstall for it
[06:14] <brandon> n2diy, because i need to use the kernel to compile something i guess
[06:14] <Morili> It was all I had on me, and I don't have and CD burning drives available.
[06:14] <misslecommander> realplayer.bin
[06:15] <dbmoodb> hello i am having problems printing over a network
[06:15] <Morili> Well I to have a 7.10 CD, but I have so many problems with it, it's not worth dealing with.
[06:15] <Cpudan80> Morili: Try sudo apt-get check
[06:15] <misslecommander> how can i uninstall realplayer 10 ?
[06:15] <ripdisk> file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper xforcevesa initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --
[06:15] <ripdisk> dedi, that's what it says
[06:15] <jbuncher> Morili, did you check the cd for defects when you installed?
[06:15] <tich> i just updated the linux headers and now my computer is loading in low graphics
[06:15] <bazhang> https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ Morili ubuntu will send the latest disks to you gratis
[06:15] <tich> how do i fix this?
[06:15] <n2diy> brandon, don't guess, solve the problem. the kernel guys don't like users guessing about the kernel.
[06:15] <Morili> Bazhang, that takes 6-10 weeks, right?
[06:15] <Morili> That's a bit of a while, heh.
[06:16] <ripdisk> dedi: does that tell you anything?
[06:16] <Morili> And no, I didn't jbuncher.
[06:16] <dbmoodb> just download them again
[06:16] <misslecommander> spOro: is your issue fixed ?
[06:16] <bazhang> Morili: that would be my guess; why not have a fried burn it for you?
[06:16] <tich> it also says that i have broken packages
[06:16] <dedi> ripdisk: yeah file replaces the root i think. just try to remove the quiet and splash
[06:16] <brandon> n2diy, how do I do that when I dont know how to open kernel up?
[06:16] <ArthurArchnix> jbuncher: It's more of a hal question... I think a new policy has to be created. I can't find any link on ubuntuforums or anywhere else. Everyone just says to take ownership of it once you see that you can't write to it.
[06:16] <bazhang> friend *
[06:16] <sp0ro> misslecommander: Yep, was a pretty simple fix.
[06:16] <tich> and that i can't install build-essential
[06:17] <Morili> I suppose I could. Thank you everyone, sorry for all the trouble. : )
[06:17] <dbmoodb> i have added cupsys to aa-complain, but my printer still doesn't work in ubuntu, in debian etch it works perfectly
[06:17] <sp0ro> misslecommander: Just changed my monitor in the Ubuntu configs to a custom LCD that runs in 1200x1024. Restricted drivers and all are working now.
[06:17] <ripdisk> dedi: kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill the idle task!
[06:17] <n2diy> brandon, Kernel is the heart of the operating system, do you know how to program at the machine code level? That is what those guys are playing with.
[06:18] <jbuncher> ArthurArchnix:  Yeah, that could be, but I'm not knowledgeable at all about hal really, unfortunately.  Do you have read/write support for ntfs installed?
[06:18] <dbmoodb> linux is our kernel
[06:18] <brandon> n2diy, haha,,,, no
[06:18] <dedi> ripdisk: mhm never seen that error. tried google?
[06:18] <ripdisk> dedi: for hours
[06:18] <brandon> n2diy, You must turn on the sound support soundcore module. This is in the kernel. Look in the sound drivers directory and it should be the first option.
[06:18] <jbuncher> n2diy:  Not to be picky, but I don't think they are writing at the "machine code" level.....don't they write in C?
[06:18] <dedi> sorry mate cant help you :(
[06:18] <n2diy> brandon, then stick here, you don't have a kernel problem. You have an app. problem.
[06:18] <brandon> that is what I am looking at...
[06:19] <misslecommander> spOro: that is excellent
[06:19] <dbmoodb> well my problem seems to stem from "no ticket cache for blah"
[06:19] <n2diy> jbuncher: same thing, as far as my expertise goes. :)
[06:19] <ripdisk> dedi, do you know anyone that could help me?
[06:19] <n2diy> brandon, modules can be installed/loaded without the kernel.
[06:20] <brandon> yea, but shouldnt It already be there?
[06:20] <jbuncher> n2diy:  I think you mean "without reinstalling/changing the kernel"
[06:20] <dedi> ripdisk: unfortunately not
[06:21] <ripdisk> dedi: well, shoot.
[06:21] <n2diy> jbuncher: you know what I mean, why beat me up too? :)
[06:21] <jbuncher> n2diy:  Because the people asking questions may not know what you mean, and they're the ones we're trying to communicate with :)
[06:21] <n2diy> brandon, nobody can guess what everybodies system configuration is.
[06:22] <fparis> the x.org update didnt fix my problem. when i type its still jittery, anyway to try to fix it?
[06:22] <edwin> i'm curious as well, jbuncher. I get that problem on pidgin
[06:22] <n2diy> jbuncher: Well, I'm doing my best. Why don't you try to? Help or sit?
[06:22] <dedi> when running screen i get a: Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 777. If i change it manually to 777 it works, but its gone after a reboot. i checked the file and directory file permissions and owner and there seems everything fine. cant find what causes the file permissions to reset at startup. same thing is with slocate
[06:23] <brandon> n2diy, ok, where can i download the module from then??
[06:23] <jbuncher> edwin:  what problem are you referring to?
[06:23] <n2diy> brandon, what sound card do you have?
[06:23] <brandon> nVidia
[06:24] <n2diy> brandon, ha, I should have guessed that. What is the model number?
[06:24] <edwin> jbuncher: jittery text while typing. it seems to be a refresh problem or something
[06:24] <edwin> ... but it only appears in pidgin
[06:25] <genii> dedi: If running "screen" or "updatedb" not with sudo then the files they use must allow the username you are running them under r/w access
[06:25] <brandon> n2diy, i do not know
[06:25] <dbmoodb> ba
[06:25] <htns> okay....
[06:25] <htns> i just did apt-get phpmyadmin
[06:25] <htns> but how the heck do i get into it???
[06:26] <jamescarr> hi
[06:26] <jbuncher> edwin;  I think you might have wanted to send that message to fparis, rather than me.  I don't have that issue, but it certainly is interesting
[06:26] <jamescarr> is there a good app for editing MOV files?
[06:26] <slypheed> j linux
[06:26] <n2diy> brandon, open a termina, and enter lshw, and see if you find it.
[06:26] <edwin> brandon: do lspci and you'll find out which card you have
[06:26] <n2diy> *termina/terminal
[06:27] <brandon> n2diy, the card is HDA NVidia, the chip is sigmatel STAC9200
[06:27] <edwin> jbuncher: oops, i guess so
[06:27] <fparis> edwin, its weird typing.. it sometimes holds the    letter or whatever i type for no reason. its also slow at times.. but only occasionally
[06:27] <lackli> will getting 32-bit binaries like libgnome32 have any negative effect on my amd64?
[06:27] <dedi> lackli: no
[06:27] <lackli> ok thanks, it won't mess things up dedi?
[06:27] <abbazabba71> I am new to ubuntu.  can anyone help me configure my computer as an internet gateway?
[06:28] <n2diy> brandon, cool, so google for Ubuntu sigmatel STA9200, and see if you can find the module/driver name.
[06:28] <lackli> ok, thanks dedi
[06:28] <dedi> lackli: i run everything without problems oder mess up
[06:28] <brandon> n2diy, 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
[06:28] <brandon> that wrk?
[06:29] <edwin> brandon, is your audio not working?
[06:29] <brandon> nope.
[06:29] <brandon> only on linux
[06:29] <brandon> it wrks on windows
[06:29] <n2diy> brandon, nope, we're looking for a file, ????.???
[06:29] <coolbhavi> Ububtu alternate CD install error no 80 help
[06:29] <edwin> brandon, i know how to fix it, give me like 5 seconds
[06:29] <brandon> ok...

[06:30] <edwin> ?*
[06:30] <yao_ziyuan> when i installed kubuntu-desktop to ubuntu, i chose "kdm" as desktop manager. how do i change it back to gdm?
[06:30] <brandon> yea
[06:30] <brandon> i believe so
[06:30] <coolbhavi> please help anyone?
[06:30] <edwin> brandon: if so, just open up synaptic and search for "backport module generic"
[06:31] <Darkmystere> Ok,well i got my splash working but  has anyone noticed that youtube videos are too small ?
[06:31] <brandon> where is synaptic?
[06:31] <bod_> Darkmystere: r u using firefox?
[06:31] <edwin> brandon: System > administration > synaptic package manager
[06:31] <dedi> yao_ziyuan: im not shure, but try dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[06:31] <jbuncher> htns:  try localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser
[06:31] <Darkmystere> Yea
[06:31] <n2diy> brandon, locate/synaptic
[06:31] <bod_> Darkmystere, do the videos still work?
[06:31] <Darkmystere> bod_: Yea Why?
[06:32] <htns> jbuncher: do you know where the webroot usually is for apache?
[06:32] <cE_cRi_tMn> dffffffffff
[06:32] <htns> im looking in /etc/apach2, but it's not there....\:
[06:32] <brandon> ok, i got synaptic up and running
[06:32] <Flannel> htns: /var/www
[06:32] <bazhang> cE_cRi_tMn: got an issue?
[06:32] <htns> ah...
[06:32] <Flannel> htns: /etc/apache2 is all the configuration (which dictates where the webroot is)
[06:32] <bod_> Darkmystere, i think i have a fix 1 sec
[06:32] <edwin> brandon: click search (last button on the tool bar / far right)
[06:33] <Aicryac> hey you guys, i have ubuntu 7.10 running and of course it is on apache 2.2.4 right now, i saw apache 2.2.8 came out not to long ago and want to give it a shot but couldn't find config.nice file to play with, can anyone help me out on that? :)
[06:33] <edwin> then type "backport modules generic" and search
[06:33] <jbuncher> htns:  http://myipaddress/apache2-default/
[06:33] <Darkmystere> bod_: sec checking again
[06:33] <htns> jbuncher: yeah, that works
[06:33] <MrObvious> Good evening guysl.
[06:33] <brandon> ok..
[06:33] <MrObvious> *guys
[06:33] <jbuncher> htns: http://myipaddress/phpmyadmin/ works for me
[06:33] <Darkmystere> it takes a bit to load..
[06:33] <MrObvious> Actually good morning. :\
[06:33] <edwin> brandon: should get like 3 packages that pop up, right?
[06:33] <htns> jbuncher: yeah, phpmyadmin works
[06:34] <htns> im just wondering where the /var/www is....
[06:34] <jbuncher> htns: ok
[06:34] <htns> I cant find that phrase in the apach2.conf file
[06:34] <htns> ~_~
[06:34] <brandon> for "backport module generic"?
[06:34] <edwin> right
[06:34] <Flannel> htns: Its not.  Its a virtual host specific thing, its in the file in sites-available
[06:34] <edwin> brandon: if not, then you'll have to enable some repos
[06:34] <htns> o....
[06:34] <brandon> searching
[06:34] <bod_> Darkmystere, here ,.,. this fixes all flash problems,.,. basically just remove ur flash plugins thrugh synaptic ,. then read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397
[06:34] <MrObvious> !easysource | brandon
[06:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easysource - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:35] <htns> well, that's different from windows now is it....
[06:35] <MrObvious> :\
[06:35] <MrObvious> It was there a few days ago.
[06:35] <Darkmystere> well err... opk it seems to be working
[06:35] <htns> I've been using/developing in windows for years now, so im really used to it ~_~''

[06:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easysources - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:35] <Flannel> htns: Its the debian method of configuration.  Everything is split out into chunks that make sense.  To allow easy enabling/disabling of specific parts.
[06:35] <brandon> yea 3 packages
[06:35] <htns> i see
[06:36] <edwin> brandon: install the last one
[06:36] <brandon> modules-gene?
[06:36] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[06:36] <edwin> brandon: right
[06:36] <brandon> k
[06:36] <Flannel> htns: everything module specific is in /mods-available, everything virtual host specific is in /sites-availabe.  the corresponding -enabled directories are for the mods/sites that are actually enabled.
[06:36] <bazhang> the bot has a bad memory of late
[06:36] <MrObvious> bazhang: That's it. Maybe someone can add it to the bot again?
[06:36] <edwin> brandon: it'll prompt you to install the second one too. go ahead and do that.
[06:36] <MrObvious> bazhang: I would but I don't know how.
[06:37] <bod_> hey guys im bored and need a fun program to play with ,.,. any ideas?
[06:37] <htns> Flannel: I see, so it is recommended that I keep my webroot in /var/www instead of moving it to a different dir?
[06:37] <bazhang> MrObvious: well seeing as the bot master took it out...
[06:37] <Flannel> htns: Where were you thinking about moving it to?
[06:37] <MrObvious> bod_: You could try Supertux.
[06:37] <brandon> ok
[06:37] <n2diy> bod_: sabre
[06:37] <wyclif> bod_: tetris?
[06:37] <Flannel> bazhang: its because that page is missing
[06:37] <htns> Flannel: well I'm not going to do it now, but maybe in my home directory
[06:37] <bod_> MrObvious, n2diy : could uu explain them plz
[06:37] <htns> for example
[06:37] <ripdisk> dedi
[06:37] <bod_> wyclif, no thanks
[06:38] <ripdisk> are you still here?
[06:38] <MrObvious> bod_: It's a game.
[06:38] <dedi> ripdisk: yeah
[06:38] <wyclif> bod_ well, if you're not into games...

[06:38] <edwin> brandon: the only thing that sucks is that youill have to restart your computer for changes to take effect. you'll know if it works because you'll here a "beep" when the login window appears -- unless your sound is muted of course
[06:38] <techno_freak> bod_, gturtle ;)
[06:38] <ripdisk> dedi, right before that other error i told you about comes up, it says something about acpi=force

[06:38] <funkyFlash> hey guys, i have some stubborn files on a reiser3 fs that refuse to die
[06:38] <brandon> ok.

[06:38] <Darkmystere> omg this thing kreeps going gray rendering it unusuable..omg
[06:38] <brandon> ill be back if it doesnt wrk bwahahaha
[06:38] <Flannel> htns: If you're looking to do stuff in your homedir, you can use userdir, which is a module (and already enabled) that allows users to have their own web folders.  Put stuff in ~/public_html, make sure it (and public_html) are readable by all, and then you can browse them with http://site/~username
[06:38] <brandon> lol
[06:38] <MrObvious> brandon: lol
[06:39] <htns> I see, okay
[06:39] <edwin> brandon: come back and let us know if it works anyways
[06:39] <Darkmystere> ok bod can you catch me up
[06:39] <Darkmystere> i missed like 4mins worth of help
[06:39] <techno_freak> bod_, its a programming game for the kids..
[06:39] <htns> Well thx ^_^
[06:39] <Darkmystere> it kept going grey then white then grey then white
[06:39] <edwin> ubuntu doesn't have customers, but we like to take care of our own anyways
[06:39] <brandon> and if it does. ill be back for another question about HAL not initializing
[06:39] <funkyFlash> i have permission to kill them, but as i try to rm them, it responds "permission denied".  the files themselves are obv fubar, and 0 bytes.  the rest of the filesystem is healthy
[06:39] <bod_> techno_freak, im not a programmer ,.,. i no a little basic & python will that do?
[06:40] <brandon> ok, BRB
[06:40] <techno_freak> bod_, it will
[06:40] <bod_> techno_freak, kk will get it now ,.,. cheers
[06:40] <edwin> < programmer, but been out of the loop for a while
[06:41]  * MrObvious doesn't like programming and has tried
[06:41] <bod_> edwin: dunno how u do it,.,. python confuses me and its ment to be 1 of the easiest
[06:41]  * MrObvious prefers software support or networking issues
[06:41] <edwin> bod_, i friggin hate python, forced spacing and all..i'm a ruby guy
[06:41] <CK_L> i got 1 monitor and 1 tv , how can i make it display the same thing...
[06:41] <dedi> ripdisk: this sould not make any concern about booting up
[06:41] <ripdisk> ok
[06:41] <ripdisk> i'll keep trying
[06:42] <edwin> CK_L, are you on an intel card?
[06:42] <MrObvious> CK_L: What kind of TV?
[06:42] <MrObvious> If it's just a regular TV it's not worth it unless it's a HTPC.
[06:42] <bod_> edwin, python is cool,.,. considering the gnome and kde is written in python // or can be written in python ,m. dunno which
[06:42] <MrObvious> HPTC
[06:42] <CK_L> edwin: ATI FX5200
[06:42] <CK_L> MrObvious: normal TV
[06:42] <VvWolverinevV> hi, if i want to setup an application to run at startup that needs root permissions, how can i set that up?
[06:42] <Flannel> VvWolverinevV: which application?
[06:43] <VvWolverinevV> firestarter
[06:43] <MrObvious> CK_L: You mean NVidia FX5200? I have the same card on my downstairs machine.
[06:43] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, u need to write the script then give it 777 access then put it in the sessions menu
[06:43] <MrObvious> CK_L: Why a normal TV? It's not worth it at those horrible resolutions.
[06:43] <Darkmystere> Well Err Youtube is acting weird..
[06:43] <bod_> Darkmystere, why?
[06:43] <MrObvious> Darkmystere: You're acting weird. :p
[06:43] <edwin> bod_, some programs are written in python, not the de's themselves :P anyways, i tried, i mean really tried python, but the conventions irritated me too much.. ruby for me was way sexier, especially with code blocks and inline ruby
[06:43] <n2diy> VvWolverinevV: that isn't a real good idea.
[06:43] <VvWolverinevV> n2diy: why?
[06:43] <funkyFlash> any ideas?  the rm that couldn't?
[06:44] <bod_> n2diy,  i wrote start up scripts ,.,. they work fine
[06:44] <MrObvious> funkyFlash: Lol
[06:44] <edwin> funkyFlash, try sudo rm
[06:44] <n2diy> VvWolverinevV: root is for doing admin stuff, not day to day stuff.
[06:44] <Flannel> VvWolverinevV: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firestarter
[06:44] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: how do i give 777 access?
[06:44] <MrObvious> !chmod | VvWolverinevV
[06:44] <ubotu> VvWolverinevV: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[06:44] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, have u written the script u want to load at start-up?
[06:44] <Darkmystere> Lol well is this a good thing the description says this:
[06:45] <wyclif> need help installing openssh.  unpacked the tarball to /tmp, did ./configure + make + make install, still no openssh
[06:45] <Darkmystere> WARNING: Installing this Ubuntu package causes the Adobe flash plugin to be downloaded from www.adobe.com.
[06:45] <funkyFlash> edwin, i have the permission to nuke them, i own the files and i have rw perms on them
[06:45] <funkyFlash> the files are fubar'd
[06:45] <n2diy> bod_: yes, but you bypassed your security.
[06:45] <CK_L> MrObvious: yup nividia fx5200 brand ATI
[06:45] <bod_> Darkmystere, yer thats good!
[06:45] <MrObvious> Darkmystere: If Flash works don't install the update.
[06:45] <wyclif> everything to the defaults
[06:45] <Flannel> wyclif: Whats wrong with the openssh in the repositories?
[06:45] <bod_> n2diy, only to run a program u wrote
[06:45] <edwin> wyclif, any reason you aren't using the repos? they too out of date?
[06:45] <Darkmystere> Ive already did this fix
[06:45] <wyclif> i tried that, but could not grab it
[06:45] <bod_> Darkmystere,  dunno then ,.,. sorry
[06:45] <Flannel> wyclif: What error did you get?
[06:45] <wyclif> edwin flannel i could not grab them
[06:45] <edwin> wyclif, also, what output are you getting when you try to configure, make, make install?
[06:45] <Darkmystere> i cant even play a simple game like Battelon says i have 0.0.0 installed
[06:46] <MrObvious> CK_L: Uhh no. ATi and NVidia are opposite companies. ATi would never make an NVidia card (unless I've never heard of this one before?).
[06:46] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: isn't it just "/usr/sbin/firestarter"?
[06:46] <ripdisk> dedi, i don't know, i think i'm going to give up
[06:46] <edwin> wyclif, you'll need the dependencies along with the DEV(EL) versions of them in order to compile
[06:46] <wyclif> edwin give me a sec and i might paste it
[06:46] <MrObvious> VvWolverinevV: What kind of script is it?
[06:46] <AtheistPope> could anyone tell me after a clean install, why I'm not able to install Wine? running ubuntu for amd64.   the add/remove utility wont even let me checkmark the program
[06:46] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, wot do u wanna make run at start-up?
[06:46] <MrObvious> bod_: You could learn bash scripting.
[06:46] <n2diy> bod_: I wrote!? :) Ok, so the crackers can't crack your program?
[06:46] <Flannel> wyclif: Are you connected to the internet while trying this?  Really, the repos are what you want to go with.
[06:46] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: the firewall
[06:46] <CK_L> MrObvious: mine is ATI brand FX5200
[06:46] <wyclif> Flannel: YES
[06:46] <Darkmystere> Well my problem is that Youtube videos are too small really just all of the options are smushed together
[06:46] <edwin> wyclif, also you'll need the package "build essential" anyways, i'll wait for you to get back
[06:46] <CK_L> ^.6
[06:46] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, firewall boots anyway doesnt it?
[06:46] <MrObvious> CK_L: Whatever.
[06:47] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: i don't think so
[06:47] <pvl1> wats d-bus?
[06:47]  * MrObvious prepares for bad foot odor because of MrObvious taking off shoes after working hard for a few hours
[06:47] <edwin> btw, is there a paste channel for ubuntu? so that main chat doesn't get cluttered?
[06:47] <bod_> n2diy, so someones gonna break into my computer and stop a script from loading amarok
[06:47] <wyclif> edwin thanks i wondered if I was missing a package
[06:47] <Flannel> wyclif: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?  And which method did you use to install? Desktop or Alternate CD? (or server CD perhaps?)
[06:47] <CK_L> MrObvious: so how to make it display on monitor and tv
[06:47] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: i don;t get the icon in the top panel
[06:47] <misslecommander> MrObvious: i got flash installed somehow, it works, but i know i had a problem with Firefox telling me i was missing plugin. after about 10 tries it went in
[06:47] <bazhang> !paste > edwin
[06:47] <wyclif> Flannel: gutsy via CD
[06:47] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, can u run the firewall from terminal?
[06:48] <MrObvious> CK_L: What outputs does your video card have?
[06:48] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Ubuntu 64 bit?
[06:48] <Flannel> wyclif: which CD?  And please pastebin your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list)
[06:48] <misslecommander> MrObvious: 32, the flash issue only on 64 ?
[06:48] <wyclif> flannel will do, need a few secs
[06:48] <bod_> misslecommander, yer flash & 64 = problems
[06:48] <CK_L> MrObvious: same like your fx5200 i think
[06:48] <misslecommander> MrObvious: ok
[06:48] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: yes, but i get the same error about insufficient priveleges
[06:48] <MrObvious> CK_L: Is it VGA and DVI? If so you can get some kind of converter for like DVI -> RGB or VGA -> RGB. Then just run the monitor off the other. Try that.
[06:49] <n2diy> bod_:  I don't know, but if the do, and it is running as root... Compared to the same program running under bod_? You just lost your primary level of security, you might as well be running Winders.
[06:49] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Nevermind. It's probably something else.
[06:49] <MrObvious> !flash | misslecommander
[06:49] <ubotu> misslecommander: 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
[06:49] <dedi> ripdisk: i was at the same stage on a debian installation, after 20 hours i gave it up to boot into the live cd
[06:49] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[06:49] <bod_> VvWolverinevV,  wotever command ur using to load the firewall from terminal ,.,. put sudo infront of it
[06:49] <n2diy> *the/they
[06:49] <edwin> !paste > bazhang
[06:49] <misslecommander> VvWolverinevV: i ad to do something with chmod to install Real Player 10 in .bin format, but now i cant uninstall it, or dont know how
[06:49] <bod_> n2diy, gd point ,.,. *Quick* done ,.,. changed to 775
[06:49] <bazhang> thanks edwin! :}
[06:50] <brandon> edwin, it didnt work
[06:50] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Real Player sucks. Sorry
[06:50] <n2diy> bod_:   :)
[06:50] <edwin> brandon: ok, give me a second, i'm gonna fetch you a guide
[06:50] <fparis> is there currently java support problems in 64? i cant seem to run apps when i installed the icedtea..... also i still have typing problems lingering.. when i type something its jerky at times and sometimes holds the current letter and lags any thoughts anyone?
[06:50] <MrObvious> misslecommander: In the directory is there a README file?
[06:50] <misslecommander> MrObvious: no sorry about it, it was my only alternative to WMP, i dont like RP either
[06:50] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: ahh ok, now i get a password prompt, but better than an error
[06:50] <bod_> MrObvious, realplayer was the best microsoft application ever!!!!!!!!!!
[06:50] <wyclif> Flannel: thanks for the pointers.  working on it...
[06:50] <brandon> ok
[06:51] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, password prompt means u need to be privilidged to run the program ,.,. just enter ur password and the command will work
[06:51] <MrObvious> bod_: You're flaming me about an application which sucks. At least there are a few decentones.
[06:51] <edwin> brandon, there are a few more things i could step you through, but i think this would be faster, lol: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller
[06:51] <misslecommander> MrObvious: i installed it something like /home/username/installs/realplayer... i just put the sh script in /bin which is what i was suggested to do
[06:51] <funkyFlash> say guys, i have some 0 byte files that won't die when i try to remove them.  i have the permission to remove them, but it responds with "permission denied"
[06:51] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: so ill have to enter my password at login?
[06:51] <bod_> MrObvious,  wot part of realplayer sucks?????
[06:51] <misslecommander> MrObvious: it was giving me problems, now i cant uninstall the dumb thing
[06:52] <MrObvious> bod_: I've hated it from day 1, back when I used Windows 98 like 10 years ago.
[06:52] <bazhang> bod_: offtopic
[06:52] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, unless u give the file the right permissions ,. yes
[06:52] <brandon> ok
[06:52] <brandon> thx
[06:52] <jbuncher> funkyFlash, have you tried booting to recovery mode and deleting them from there?
[06:52] <cappicard> hrmm... why did ubuntu remove the video.x file? qemu-ppc does not run without it
[06:52] <misslecommander> MrObvious: if the moving shell script to /bin works, it stays
[06:52] <MrObvious> misslecommander: You know how the rm command works?
[06:52] <edwin> may even have your laptop listed on there, brandon ;_
[06:52] <CK_L> MrObvious: vga to my monitor dvi to my tv then how can i configure?
[06:52] <edwin> ;-)*
[06:52] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: fair enough
[06:52] <bod_> MrObvious,  i suggest u try the new gold release on a windows box b4 u diss it ,.,. it is really gd m8
[06:52] <brandon> reallr...
[06:52] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: thanks
[06:52] <funkyFlash> i haven't, however, these are on a drive that isn't system.  it's worth a shot
[06:53] <misslecommander> MrObvious: if someone is a nebie at linux, that would be me. i know windows up and down, but this is Mars, compared to Venus
[06:53] <MrObvious> CK_L: Just work with dual monitors and the NVidia driver. IDK how to do it from there but you'll get the idea. You'll have to set the second resolution probably manually.
[06:53] <edwin> bod_, plain curiousity..is that free/ i mean, usually on windows, gold means "pay me b****!"
[06:53] <edwin> and that / should have been ?*
[06:53] <funkyFlash> i unmounted the drive, forced a "fix fixable", and remounted, and still no dice
[06:53] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Ok. So you want to delete realplayer right?
[06:53] <jbuncher> funkyFlash:  It's just a suggestion, I haven't done anything with reiser before.
[06:53] <bod_> edwin, 100% free!!!
[06:53] <funkyFlash> i appreciate it.  shoulda gone with ext3...
[06:53] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: not true, i didn't have to re-enter my password ;)
[06:54] <MrObvious> funkyFlash: I've never used Reiser. :\ I've used Linux for a while now and never have touched it. Maybe I should? :\
[06:54] <edwin> bod_, anything is better than wmp, lol
[06:54] <MrObvious> lol
[06:54] <bod_> VvWolverinevV,  do it again in 15 mins and u will ,.,. sudo gives u root privilidges for 15 mins
[06:54] <bod_> edwin,.,.lol
[06:54] <funkyFlash> no, mrobvious, you shouldn't
[06:54] <CK_L> MrObvious: do i need install ATI driver?
[06:54] <funkyFlash> lol
[06:54] <misslecommander> MrObvious: if what i did fixes it, no. i redirected Firefox to look to the script file in /bin instead of /home/usdername/..... so on..  if you know how i can remove it, please post
[06:54] <Flannel> sudo caches your password for 15 minutes, it doesn't give you root perms for 15 minutes
[06:55] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: oh :(
[06:55] <CK_L> MrObvious: i use mplayer to watch rm and rmvb file it fine for me , because i cant solve realplayer problem :(
[06:55] <bod_> Flannel, sorry ,.,. misconception
[06:55] <brandon> edwin, well my gateway isnt on here... i will keep reading though
[06:55] <misslecommander> MrObvious: i save log files on things like that, so i can acces them if i need to, i have tons of logs
[06:55] <bod_> CK_L, wot realplayer probs?
[06:55] <MrObvious> misslecommander: You'll need sudo access from the terminal. You probably created a symbolic link (ln -s) a while back in sudo which is like a shortcut.
[06:55] <AtheistPope> could anyone tell me after a clean install, why I'm not able to install Wine? running ubuntu for amd64.   the add/remove utility wont even let me checkmark the program
[06:55] <MrObvious> CK_L: I like mplayer much better too.
[06:56] <edwin> brandon: i think you may have to edit  the X11/xorg.conf file...gimme a sec and i'll fetch the exact line i'm talking about
[06:56] <CK_L> bod_: it cant play smoothly keep stack
[06:56] <ripdisk> dedi: i would try a mini installer but i can't get the unbuntu on this pc to burn CDs
[06:56] <misslecommander> MrObvious: i believe intinially i used chmod &^&*&& bunch guru stuff, from .bin file
[06:56] <MrObvious> AtheistPope: Run 32 bit I think. But there might be a workaround I'm not sure. Try the wiki and search for wine 64 bit
[06:56] <brandon> ok....
[06:56] <bod_> CK_L, r u using the windows version via wine?
[06:56] <dedi> ripdisk: which burn app you tried?
[06:56] <ripdisk> all of them
[06:56] <ripdisk> lol
[06:56] <ripdisk> including gnome baker
[06:57] <ranjhana> How can I boot to a command line instead of the GUI on a fresh install of 7.10? It's selecting the wrong video mode (had to use the alternate installer since the default installer has this problem too) and I can't see anything.
[06:57] <misslecommander> MrObvious: its working as of now, but if it gives me any more trouble, it is gone, and staying gone
[06:57] <ripdisk> and all the ones that came with it
[06:57] <CK_L> MrObvious: now monitor and tv problem , too bad
[06:57] <ripdisk> it just says to insert a blank cd
[06:57] <AtheistPope> MrObvious: I checked the wiki but i'll look some more i guess
[06:57] <mojo> I have a weird audio problem.  Having 2 audio cards (mobo/nvida and creative audigy2), sometimes the ALSA designations flip-flop them between which is hw:0,x and hw:1,x.  I run Gutsy AMD64.  This last time left FLASH audio going to the mobo sound but I want to direct it to the Audigy2.  How do I specify which audio out the flash plugin uses?  ps - ffox64 with 32bit flash plugin via nswrapper.
[06:57] <ripdisk> however, it reads CDs just fine
[06:57] <dedi> semms you a user like me.. with a lot of uncommon problems :D
[06:57] <funkyFlash> ripdisk: i've had the most luck with k3b.  even tho it's a kde app, it seems to be the most solid
[06:57] <CK_L> bod_: no i use realplayer for linux version
[06:57] <Flannel> AtheistPope: Try going through synaptic instead of add/remove (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager) and be sure to hit "Reload" first
[06:57] <Squal> Question: Using a new burn of Gutsy 7.10 LiveCD, I'm trying to transfer all the files on the computer's NTFS partition onto a new Vista box on the other end of the home network (all wired). Sysmon says I'm maxing out at 190-210 KB/s. The integrated NICs on both PCs are 10/100/1000, and the two switches in the middle are 10/100. Where do I need to start re: troubleshooting? At this speed, It'll be a week before I'm done the transfer
[06:57] <funkyFlash> i have a really fickle burner, and i seem to make the fewest coasters with k3b
[06:57] <CK_L> bod_: install from apt-get
[06:57] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Hmm. I'm getting tired sorry lol. I'm ready for bed now :|. If it were me I would just remove any references to RP and just use mplayer.
[06:57] <edwin> brandon: good news and bad news

[06:57] <misslecommander> MrObvious: i got mu gui twice the speed it was earlier, just removing junk i dont need, i rebbot, its fast! like it should be.
[06:57] <brandon> ok...
[06:57] <bod_> CK_L, personally i suggest using wine and the windows version,.,. cause u get the cool gui aswell,.,. and it just works
[06:57] <edwin> brandon: good news, i found the file you need to edit and what you need to edit
[06:58] <_c> i installed xmlto. that required apache, somehow. ubuntu actually started apache like a complete idiot. uninstalling xmlto doesn't seem to make aptitude realize that apache isn't needed anymore, even thoug i say to remove useless dependencies. how to fix?
[06:58] <brandon> bad news is u dont know what i need to put in the edit??
[06:58] <misslecommander> MrObvious: its on its last trial, then it goes to removal hell
[06:58] <brandon> lol
[06:58] <edwin> brandon: bad news: you having a gateway, i'm not sure what you need to put on the second line
[06:58] <CK_L> bod_: i perfer use virtualbox to install xp
[06:58] <brandon> lol
[06:58] <misslecommander> MrObvious: night
[06:58] <funkyFlash> squal, are you using ntfs-3g?
[06:58] <bod_> _c, use synaptic,. search for apache and mark for complete removal
[06:58] <Squal> funkyFlash: I suppose... I"m using whatever comes by default in the GUtsy liveCD
[06:58] <brandon> wow.... yet another fun and late night for me huh??
[06:58] <brandon> lol
[06:58] <stefano_> how can i start a program on another machine with a shortcut? (instead of connecting via ssh and starting it seperately)
[06:58] <edwin> !paste > brandon
[06:58] <funkyFlash> oh, sorry.  i'm slow.
[06:58] <misslecommander> it can sit there and burn forever, i never liked rp ever, ever
[06:58] <bod_> CK_L, ok ,.,. but if u dont wanna do realplayer i suggest amarok
[06:59] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Basically if you use the rm command as sudo (rm is a deleting files command so be careful with what you type) you'll be able to get somewhere. If you want to find traces of it you can do the following: cd / && sudo find | grep real (change directory to / and then as root find stuff and then parse the results for the term real).
[06:59] <edwin> brandon: did you get that paste?
[06:59] <MrObvious> G'night
[06:59] <Flannel> _c: you said you wanted xmlto, Ubuntu installed apache because it needed it.  Its not stupid
[06:59] <misslecommander> it still stinks

[06:59] <funkyFlash> i know, this is the default answer, but do you know what condition the drives are in?  fragmentation, in need of a disk check?
[06:59] <_c> Flannel: *starting* apache without permission is nuts.
[06:59] <CK_L> amarok nice? i will try later
[06:59] <misslecommander> noted, thank you
[06:59] <edwin> brandon: obviously you'll change the "=dell-m42" to your model
[06:59] <Flannel> _c: apache starts by default when you install it.
[06:59] <brandon> paste did not work
[07:00] <gobbles414> Hi all: I am trying to solve how to make system-wide keyboard shortcuts to control VLC in Ubuntu. I need to know what to put in gconf-editor => metacity => keybinding_commands. For example, vlc --extrashort-jump-size -5 is for a five second rewind. It opens a new VLC window, but I want the command to execute on a currently playing file. Can anyone help?
[07:00] <bazhang> xen_:  a short description in channel would be helpful; not everyone is using x
[07:00] <wyclif> CK_L: amarok works well for me
[07:00] <Squal> FunkyFlash - no, but have no reason to suspect problems - they've worked fine under native windows environments
[07:00] <edwin> shoot, ok
[07:00] <bod_> wyclif, amarok,. just works,.,. its gr8
[07:00] <brandon> edwin, pastebin.com works well also
[07:01] <xen_> bazhang sorry, im wondering if i can get my WPA PSK wireless to connect automatically each time i start up my pc without having to type in loads of commands into the terminal with each reboot
[07:01] <funkyFlash> ok.  well, i can't see what might by botching it, but i'd test each part of the chain individually.  such as, try copying a large file onto the same disk, so you're reading and writing.
[07:01] <funkyFlash> if that's slow, then the disk/file system/linux ntfs driver is to blame
[07:01] <xen_> bazhang like a start up script or something
[07:01] <misslecommander> xen: i need to do that on occassion, i would like to know the same
[07:01] <edwin> brandon: open a terminal (alt+F2 > gnome-terminal) and type : sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[07:01] <ranjhana> How can I boot to a command line instead of the GUI on a fresh install of 7.10? It's selecting the wrong video mode (had to use the alternate installer since the default installer has this problem too) and I can't see anything.
[07:01] <ripdisk> wow
[07:01] <xen_> because otherwise its a real pain to do this each time i reboot
[07:01] <funkyFlash> elsewhere, i may blame network cables/network driver/network switch
[07:01] <ripdisk> k3b works
[07:01] <ripdisk> i'm really shocked
[07:01] <Squal> FunkyFlash - windows-windows filetransfers work fine, but I guess I could test whether it's a samba issue by setting up an FTP server
[07:02] <bod_> ranjhana, ctr+alt+F1 i think ,.,. dont hold me to it though
[07:02] <funkyFlash> how did you share the volume from samba?
[07:02] <Flannel> Squal: Make sure you're not playing any media on the Vista box
[07:02] <gobbles414> Hi all: I am trying to solve how to make system-wide keyboard shortcuts to control VLC in Ubuntu by using the gconf-editor => metacity => keybinding_commands tool. Can anyone help?
[07:02] <MrObvious> xen_: I just use Gnome's network icon thingy in the corner, choose my SSID, then it remembers encryption keys with the keyring manager.
[07:02] <funkyFlash> aye
[07:02] <xen_> im using kubuntu
[07:02] <ranjhana> bod_: At what point during bootup? Or wait until the system loads and then do that so it kicks me back to a command line?
[07:02] <funkyFlash> or, anything else that would make the vista box seek to other parts of the drive
[07:02] <edwin> brandon, you got that file open?
[07:02] <xen_> pure kde, without gnome
[07:02] <MrObvious> xen_: wi-fi radar
[07:02] <xen_> i dont want gnome either
[07:02] <xen_> lol
[07:02] <brandon> yea
[07:02] <misslecommander> xen: i have it so i use Network Monitor, then click configure, and connects right away, but dont know how i got to that point. i still need to use terminal from time to time
[07:03] <xen_> wifi radar is not the one, ive used that before
[07:03] <xen_> network monitor does not support WPA PSK lol
[07:03] <jon__> ranjhana: hit 'e' on the line that says kernel when you get to the grub boot menu and add ' single', then hit 'b' to boot -- you'll go to single user mode
[07:03] <Squal> Flannel - the Vista box is loaded down right now with a game :) HOWEVER - the transfer rate is too consistant (190-210 KB/s) to be a CPU limitation, and the destination is a quad core
[07:03] <bod_> ranjhana, not sure i think while grub is booting ubuntu ,.,. im not sure really ,. just remember reading something like that
[07:03] <bkar> ranjhana-> is the install completed?
[07:03] <xen_> well not in kubuntu 7.10 it doesnt
[07:03] <CK_L> now i got problem is i don tknow how to make monitor and tv display together
[07:03] <edwin> brandon, go to the end of that file and add options snd-hda-intel model=
[07:03] <MrObvious> I forget which command it is to launch Gnome's network icon thingy.
[07:03] <bazhang> !info nm-applet
[07:03] <ubotu> Package nm-applet does not exist in gutsy
[07:03]  * MrObvious really needs sleep
[07:03] <misslecommander> MrOvious: thats just it, it connects to AP, but it forgets my encry and key
[07:03] <xen_> im using kde, no gnome,
[07:04] <funkyFlash> if you haven't already, squall, i'd try connecting via gnome's built in smb dealie, as opposed to setting up a share.  so, smb://vista-box/share-name
[07:04] <edwin> after the = sign, type your model... (this is where the badnews comes in)
[07:04] <xen_> i dotn want to have to use gnome either
[07:04] <Flannel> Squal: Vista throttles bandwidth though stupidly when you're playing audio.  That game may very well be what's causing it.
[07:04] <funkyFlash> (entered into the address bar of a file manager window)
[07:04] <misslecommander> MrOvious: simple enough to click configure and do it that way, but would be nice to auto
[07:04] <ranjhana> bkar: yes, i installed through the alternate installer because the default one wouldn't work due to this issue
[07:04] <Squal> Flannel - they hook their audio subsystem up to their networking subsystem????
[07:04] <Squal> Flannel - sounds amusing
[07:04] <edwin> brandon, logic would tell me that this should be "gateway", but intuition tells me that it's going to be more complicated than that
[07:04] <bkar> ranjhana-> are you now booted on this newly installed ubuntu?
[07:04] <bazhang> Squal: yup
[07:04] <MrObvious> xen_: You could always make a script that loads on startup.
[07:04] <gobbles414> :P I am trying to solve how to make system-wide keyboard shortcuts to control VLC in Ubuntu. I almost have this problem solved. I just need help from someone who knows the command line a little better than I do! :'(
[07:04] <misslecommander> oh that would be nice
[07:05] <Squal> FunkyFlash - k, thanks
[07:05] <xen_> that would be lovely, but i dont know how to write scripts etc
[07:05] <MrObvious> !info network-admin
[07:05] <ubotu> Package network-admin does not exist in gutsy
[07:05] <funkyFlash> squal, for the sake of argument, what if you booted the vista box off a live cd as well?  or booted the vista box in safe mode?
[07:05] <xen_> infact thats exactly what im after, a startup script
[07:05] <misslecommander> xen_: yes that would be excellent
[07:05] <MrObvious> xen_: You could try gnome-system-tools maybe?
[07:05] <Starnestommy> xen_: use /etc/rc.local?
[07:05] <Flannel> Squal: There were a bunch of articles about it a few months (er, maybe more than a few months now) ago.  Google around for them.
[07:05] <n2diy> gobbles414: have you looked at man loadkeys?
[07:05] <xen_> hence: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673786
[07:05] <ranjhana> bkar: the kernel loads (with the splash page that I can see) but once it switches to the system (Gnome) my monitor stops working (
[07:05] <funkyFlash> i'm not very effective at problem solving, i'm more interested in the root of the problem than fixing it
[07:05] <xen_> sorry /etc/rc.local?
[07:05] <Demonho-br> hello.. i have ubuntu here , and 2 users. the first i created can do anything like use sudo  or other things that i need to type the adm password.. but my seccond account cant do it.. how can i change the group or allow sudo access to my seccond account ?  i dont know how to do it, i want my seccond account get the same permissions that my first account has... please help me
[07:05] <ranjhana> "input not supported"
[07:06] <xen_> MrObvious, no gnome,
[07:06] <bkar> ranjhana-> now try  ctrl+alt++  note the last + sign, this will cycle trhough the workable resolution, maybe use -  the other way
[07:06] <xen_> i dont want gnome, i use kde, pure kde
[07:06] <funkyFlash> demonho, add the other user to the admin group
[07:06] <Squal> FunkyFlash - if it comes to that, there are easier methods - working around the behavior of another user who doesn't want to relinquish the box atm
[07:06] <brandon> edwin, ok, let me look for a second
[07:06] <Starnestommy> xen_: I think /etc/rc.local is a shell script run at startup
[07:06] <Flannel> Demonho-br: add the second one to the admin group.
[07:06] <misslecommander> its in Help Manual, i just searched it Network-Admin tool
[07:06] <gobbles414> n2diy: Didn't know about that. I will look and be right back. Thank you...
[07:06] <MrObvious> xen_: Isn't there a startup thing in KDE? I forget. But just make a bin.sh script and put that header thingy and name it wi-fi.sh
[07:06] <misslecommander> thank you thank you thank you
[07:06] <funkyFlash> you can get at the user accounts via system > administration > users and groupd
[07:06] <Demonho-br> Flannel, how to do it ?
[07:06] <xen_> ah ok, but im no scripter, so even if i knew that, i dont know what or where to put the commands lol
[07:06] <xen_> i dont know the syntax etc
[07:06] <funkyFlash> squal - aye
[07:07] <Flannel> Demonho-br: users and groups like funkyFlash just said, or using usermod in the terminal.
[07:07] <MrObvious> xen_: Just do what you have in your post, only without the sudo
[07:07] <MrObvious> .
[07:07] <Demonho-br> Flannel, at the moment im on my seccond account what i can do is change user on terminal and type commands
[07:07] <bod_> xen_: scripting is as easy as writing the same commands u would use in the terminal
[07:07] <MrObvious> !sh
[07:07] <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
[07:07] <MrObvious> :|
[07:07] <ranjhana> bkr: is there a way to exit Gnome back to just a straight console?
[07:07] <xen_> i need the root access to perform those commands though no?
[07:07] <bkar> ranjhana-> now try  ctrl+alt++  note the last + sign, this will cycle trhough the workable resolution, maybe use -  the other way
[07:07] <rabiddachshund> Is there a command I can run to change the resolution through an ssh tunnel?
[07:07] <bod_> xen_ sudo
[07:07] <Demonho-br> Flannel, hmm.. usermod ?
[07:07] <funkyFlash> demonho, also worth noting, you'd have to do this as your privilleged user
[07:07]  * Abu-Abudrahman is away: not here
[07:07] <MrObvious> xen_: The script should do it as root if you save it in the right spot.
[07:08] <edwin> brandon; here's a more thorough guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=530374
[07:08] <Flannel> Demonho-br: you can't do it from your second account.  But, ctrl-alt-f1, and log in with your first (ctrl-alt-f7 gets back to the GUI) and then : sudo usermod -G admin -a username
[07:08] <bkar> ranjhana-> once you know you have a good install, ctrl+alt+F1 to F6 gives you console
[07:08] <MrObvious> !away | Abu-Abudrahman
[07:08] <ubotu> Abu-Abudrahman: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users.  (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.)  The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.  See also  !Guidelines
[07:08] <brandon> edwin, on the bottom of my laptop it says Model: MX3414
[07:08] <MrObvious> !away > Abu-Abudrahman
[07:08] <ranjhana> bkar: thanks, reboot time and I'll try that out
[07:08] <funkyFlash> flannel > me
[07:08] <brandon> edwin, possible?
[07:08] <Demonho-br> Flannel, thank u.. u hacko :D
[07:08] <funkyFlash> lol
[07:08] <MrObvious> !init.d
[07:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about init.d - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <gobbles414>  n2diy: I'm sure that would have helped had I known more about the command line. Let me ask you this. How can I get vlc --extrashort-jump-size -5 to work with an open VLC window, instead of opening a new window?
[07:09] <edwin> brandon, no. it SHOULD be more generic than that. the reason i say that is that i'm on an hp dv9653cl, and all i had to put in was "hp'
[07:09] <funkyFlash> any newcomers have ideas on files that won't rm?
[07:09] <MirJa> funkyFlash, did you tried rm -rf ?
[07:09] <edwin> brandon, there is a command to find out what you should put there, but that command has escaped my memory: damend the luck huh? lol
[07:09] <funkyFlash> mirja, aye
[07:09] <gobbles414> funkyFlash: use sudo mv in the terminal?
[07:09] <brandon> lol, its ok
[07:09] <n2diy> gobbles414: sorry, what is an VLC?
[07:10] <rabiddachshund> I changed my resolution to something way too high for my monitor to accept and it took it. How do I change it back?
[07:10] <funkyFlash> ah, didn't try moving..... too rash to killl
[07:10] <funkyFlash> hold on
[07:10] <MrObvious> xen_: Just make the script with commands without sudo and stick it in /etc/rc.d and then make it chmod +x scriptname.sh
[07:10] <gobbles414> VLC is a media player
[07:10] <kkathman> has anyone experienced an nvidia card that seems to blink on and off periodically?
[07:10] <MirJa> funkyFlash, as root ?
[07:10] <MrObvious> xen_: After that reboot and test it out.
[07:10] <xen_> MrObvious ahh cool, ty, ill try that
[07:10] <funkyFlash> mirja, i own the files, so that shouldn't matter.  but i tried anyway, to no avail
[07:10] <MrObvious> :)
[07:10] <MrObvious> !boot
[07:10] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto

[07:10] <n2diy> gobbles414: ah, sorry, I don't play with  VLC?
[07:11] <MirJa> funkyFlash, wierd, that command can even delete your " / "
[07:11] <stefano_> if i run gimp on a nother computer via ssh -X and use something like a blur filter, is the filter being calculated on the local or the remote machine?
[07:11] <Squal> Question: Is there a substantial downside to installing ubuntu in WUBI?
[07:11] <MirJa> funkyFlash, what error you get if you try to delete the file ?
[07:11] <Flannel> stefano_: All on the remote machine.  You get piped an image
[07:11] <stefano_> thank you
[07:12] <funkyFlash> "permission denied".  however, my user owns them, and has -rw on them
[07:12] <stefano_> Squal, no big downside, however i'd always recommend performing a normal install
[07:12] <gobbles414> n2diy: I think that I need to add a GENERIC modified to the command. Is there a modifier for the command line the tells programs to execute a command without opening a new window
[07:12] <misc--> hello, how can I find out which package a certain file is part of on my machine?
[07:12] <gobbles414> generic modifier...
[07:12] <kkathman> I recently had a video card fail (it was an FX5200), and I replaced it with an FX5500 with a bit more memory. That card comes up, but every oncein a while it just blanks out for about a second and comes back. But it does this rather often. Any ideas?
[07:12] <Flannel> misc--: dpkg -S file
[07:12] <misc--> Flannel: cool thanks
[07:12] <n2diy> funkyFlash: but what about the executable bit?
[07:12] <funkyFlash> flannel - that command has made me a happy camper many a times
[07:13] <MirJa> funkyFlash, well try to delete the file ( rm -rf file ) as root and then look for the error
[07:13] <n2diy> gobbles414: could be, I don't know?
[07:13] <rabiddachshund> Has anyone tried hooking their computer up to a tv using vga?

[07:14] <gobbles414> Can anyone here help me with a command line problem?
[07:14] <MirJa> funkyFlash, you are trying to delete the file as a USER, try removing it as ROOT
[07:14] <bazhang> sudo funkyFlash
[07:14] <funkyFlash> mirja, hdb is the USER that owns the file
[07:15] <Flannel> funkyFlash: and use pastebin if you don't mind
[07:15] <gobbles414> I need to add one thing to vlc --extrashort-jump-size -5 to make it open in an existing VLC media player window. But I don't know what it is that I should add to make it work.
[07:15] <funkyFlash> pastebin?
[07:15] <Flannel> !paste | funkyFlash
[07:15] <ubotu> funkyFlash: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:15] <gobbles414> Any command line experts here...?
[07:16] <brandon> edwin, anything?
[07:16] <funkyFlash> aye, it was only 4 lines, so i figured it wasn't that horrid
[07:16] <bazhang> !ask | gobbles414
[07:16] <ubotu> gobbles414: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[07:16] <n2diy> gobbles414: is there a vlcrc file in your home directorey?
[07:16] <rabiddachshund> what is the window manager for xubuntu? is it X?
[07:16] <bazhang> xfce rabiddachshund
[07:16] <Starnestommy> rabiddachshund: xfwm
[07:16] <xen_> erm Mr Obvious which rc.d folder? theres like 6 of them all from 1-6
[07:16] <xen_> :S
[07:16] <Starnestommy> which is part of xfce
[07:17] <n2diy> rabiddachshund: X86
[07:17] <Shuggle> would anyone here be able to recommend a good tool to 'backup' a dvd to xvid?
[07:17] <brandon> edwin i just looked up "gateway MX3414" on google and my laptop popped up
[07:17] <bazhang> !ripping
[07:17] <ubotu> For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar
[07:17] <MirJa> Shuggle, so you want to rip a dvd ?
[07:17] <rabiddachshund> does that handle resolution too?
[07:17] <gobbles414> n2diy: Yes, in a folder called .vlc. And yes, I have already consulted vlc --help
[07:17] <bazhang> oops
[07:17] <edwin> brandon: nothing. BUT, and i hate to say it, but try googling the command i gave you (that ended in model= ) and see if a forum comes up that tells you how to determine what model to put in
[07:18] <MirJa> Shuggle, try dvdrip
[07:18] <n2diy> gobbles414: I would guess .vlc is the place to play?
[07:18] <MirJa> !google | dvdrip
[07:18] <ubotu> dvdrip: Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com  -  Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux
[07:18] <edwin> ..then, you could also backup the original file, save the modified one with "model=gateway" , then cross your fingers and restart

[07:19] <edwin> gobbles414, man vlc should give you more detailed assistance
[07:19] <gobbles414> n2diy, I am actually trying to add the command using gconf-editor. None of the VLC files themselves need to be changed. I just need the correct syntax
[07:19] <edwin> twistedbeatfreek, yes?
[07:19] <twistedbeatfreek> anyone know much about beryl
[07:20] <bazhang> MirJa: that would be !info packagename though better to query the bot away from the channel
[07:20] <crimsun> brandon: pastebin the output from `lspci -nv && cat /proc/asound/card*/*codec*`
[07:20] <crimsun> brandon: then tell me the url
[07:20] <edwin> twistedbeatfreek, enough to say you should be using compiz fusion instead, lol
[07:20] <MirJa> aha, !info dvdrip
[07:20] <bazhang> twistedbeatfreek: that is now merged with compiz

[07:20] <n2diy> gobbles414: ok, roger that The syntax in the VLC files may give you a clue how to do that?
[07:20] <edwin> bazhang, which is why i said compiz fusion
[07:20] <twistedbeatfreek> is it really ?
[07:21] <bazhang> edwin: okay..and?
[07:21] <misslecommander> crzedmonk: you might want to say what you need help in
[07:21] <twistedbeatfreek> so i can get the cube desktop with compiz?
[07:21] <bod_> crzedmonk, wots up?

[07:22] <gobbles414> edwin and n2diy: Have already looked in vlc man and vlc --help. I think that this is a GENERIC syntax question. In other words, the syntax that I am missing would work the same in Totem or MPlayer as it will in VLC. Let me ask this question a different way...
[07:23] <edwin> gobbles414, oh ok. listening
[07:23] <stefano_> how can i output the unix-timestamp in the terminal?
[07:23] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek,  make sure u have 'Desktop cube' and 'Rotate cube' enabled
[07:23] <gobbles414> What command line syntax allows a program to execute a command within an existing window of that program? For example, if I want to pause a song that is currently playing...
[07:24] <edwin> brandon, that makes my head hurt, post the output of "lshw" or "lspci -v" instead, please
[07:24] <twistedbeatfreek> bod: where are those options
[07:24] <MirJa> gobbles414, that depends on the programyou are using
[07:24] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, press alt+F2 then typr ccsm
[07:24] <bod_> gobbles414, let me have a lookage
[07:24] <MirJa> for instance in mplayer you can use " P " or spacebar to pause anything playing
[07:24] <Hotcoral_> good morning
[07:25] <gobbles414> MirJA and bod: Interesting... For example, isn't %f a generic command of some sort?
[07:25] <n2diy> ! backround
[07:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about backround - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:25] <crimsun> brandon: did you, in fact, try model=gateway?
[07:25] <MirJa> gobbles414, i dont know i dont use vlc
[07:25] <crimsun> brandon: that's what it is in the source code.
[07:25] <stefano_> how can i create a 100MB file with zeros on it?
[07:25] <stefano_> in it
[07:26] <Dr_willis> dd command can do that.
[07:26] <brandon> ok, will try it
[07:26] <Dr_willis> with the right options.
[07:26] <stefano_> k good
[07:26] <n2diy> gobbles414: start the program in backround mode, and then you can return to the command line and play.
[07:26] <gobbles414> There are a lot of programs in Ubuntu that have %f attached to their launcher commands....
[07:26] <crimsun> brandon: that quirk was added on Wed Oct 10 10:04:26 2007 +0200.
[07:26] <bod_> gobbles
[07:26] <gobbles414> n2diy: background mode, what is that?
[07:26] <Breakage> hi could someone help, i've just done a fresh install from ubuntu to xubuntu and tried to disable mouse accel though xset m on startup but it wont work for some reason. I've added "xset m 0 0" to autostarted applications but i can still feel mouse accel, mouse accel goes if i disable type the command in terminal. Also im using xchat gnome and as i type i keep getting system error beeps lol.
[07:26] <gobbles414> yest bod...?
[07:26] <bod_> gobbles414, wot exactly do u wanna do
[07:27] <brandon> edwin and crimsun, ok i did it, now what?
[07:27] <Aval0n-> guys I use mplayer via mythtv to play x264 content, even with stop-xscreensaver=1 in the .mplayer/config file I still get screen fade-to-black
[07:27] <Aval0n-> anyone know if there is a work around?
[07:27] <brandon> do I have to restart again?
[07:27] <brandon> lol
[07:27] <Aval0n-> ubuntu fiesty 7.10
[07:27] <crimsun> brandon: what did you do?
[07:27] <edwin> gobbles414: http://www.videolan.org/doc/vlc-user-guide/en/ch04.html the only thing i couldn't find there were commands for playback...looking right now
[07:27] <brandon> put gateway
[07:27] <miranda_> Cpudan80: That is correct. II ask only because when I configured cloneing, kubuntu ha this on. I tried setting it up manually,loading 2 cards, monitors and screens in my xorg file, but the secondary display simply does not work.
[07:28] <crimsun> brandon: and you only have one options snd-hda-intel line, correct?
[07:28] <bod_> gobbles414, wot r u trying to do?
[07:28] <brandon> 1 sec
[07:28] <edwin> brandon, yes  you have to restart :-(
[07:28] <crimsun> restarting isn't strictly necessary, but it's easiest.
[07:28] <gobbles414> I want to edit gconf-editor => apps => metacity => keyboard_bindings to allow me to create a hotkey for playback of files. The link that edwin provided a moment ago provides vlc --play-and-pause as an example
[07:29] <edwin> gobbles414, i would suggest mpd for this though. it allows you to control your music via command line, and even from a remote source
[07:29] <n2diy> gobbles414: wait, I'm having a brain cramp, and can't remember, let go ask in #bash.
[07:29] <gobbles414> when I use that command, a new window opens every time i press the hotkey
[07:29] <bod_> gobbles414,  if u wanna pause a music player for eg amarok ,.,. terminal-> tyoe amarok --pause
[07:29] <bod_> gobbles414, dunno bout hotkeys though,.,. i suppose u could write a script then link it to a hotkey
[07:30] <gobbles414> Actually, I am trying to use VLC for transcription work
[07:30] <edwin> gobbles414, so you're wanting global hotkeys, kinda like what xmms does, only for any media player, right?
[07:30] <brandon> crimsun, http://pastebin.com/m7b8678ec
[07:30] <bod_> edwin: il let u have this one,.,. my head hurts
[07:30] <michael___> hey ya'll I have a problem with moving some themes I dl to the /usr/share/themes file, how do I do that, says the access is denied and cant seem to do it in terminal with cp
[07:30] <crimsun> brandon: correct.
[07:30] <brandon> ok.
[07:30] <bod_> michael___, sudo cp
[07:30] <brandon> ill be back
[07:30] <n2diy> gobbles414: run (command) &, and then you can play at the CLI will the program runs.
[07:31] <michael___> bod aaaah
[07:31] <bod_> michael___, lol
[07:31] <gobbles414> All: I am trying to do this <http://www.freewisdom.org/en/all/entries/2007/11/04/audio_transcription_on/> except in VLC instead of xmms2
[07:31] <michael___> haha I'm new
[07:31] <bod_> michael___,  no probs
[07:31] <drgeb> I just got a diNovo edge keyboard and unable to use it on gutsy anyone tried this before?
[07:31] <gobbles414> pay close attention to the second part of CONTROLLING AUDIO
[07:31] <bod_> michael___, let me no if u have any other probs
[07:31] <twistedbeatfreek> can anyone help me make my desktop a 3d cube
[07:31] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, yes!
[07:32] <edwin> gobbles414, lol, frustrating i know, but we'll get there eventually, lemme check that link so i can get a better understanding of what you need, bro
[07:32] <jdecoste> hi
[07:32] <edwin> gobbles414, or sis, lol
[07:32] <jdecoste> anyone here has a multiseat configuration ?
[07:32] <gobbles414> Thanks edwin
[07:32] <twistedbeatfreek> hey bod ccsm doesnt work for some reason
[07:32] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, does ur compiz work?
[07:32] <twistedbeatfreek> uhh im not sure never used it
[07:33] <edwin> gobbles414, ok, so i read like 4 words in that post and i know your problem already
[07:33] <twistedbeatfreek> im very new to linux
[07:33] <edwin> gobbles414, partly anyways
[07:33] <gobbles414> great...
[07:33] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, ok thats a no then ,.,.lol,.,. follow these instructions,.,.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[07:33] <misc--> ok so I have the ubuntu ISO, but I need to install from a usb stick seeing I have no cdrom. I've read that you have to create the partitions on the usb stick manually then copy files from CD etc. Then I read on the ubuntu docs: Copy ISO image to any partition or flash drive which you have. Then change kernel params. So is it possible to simply copy the ISO to the usb stick with dd or somethign?
[07:33] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, dont worry m8 ,.,. il walk u through it
[07:33] <sumigamer> I just installed blackbox but I cant login because it gives some error that the session lasted less than 10 seconds. What the heck is that supposed to mean??
[07:34] <bod_> misc--, just put the iso on the usb stick and then treat it like a cd ,.,. i think
[07:34] <stefano_> why is my Celeron M with 1.5Ghz faster than my Athlon XP 2200+? :O
[07:34] <Javid> !install > misc--
[07:34] <edwin> gobbles414, let me install vlc real quick so i can play around, this all should only take 10 min
[07:34] <n2diy> twistedbeatfreek: we're all newbies. :)
[07:34] <edwin> gobbles414, if someone else doesn't get back to you, by then, i'll have an answer
[07:34] <misslecommander> tha includes me
[07:34] <misc--> ok thanks to both
[07:35] <twistedbeatfreek> lol thats not comforting lol
[07:35] <gobbles414> edwin: Thank you so much! :-D
[07:35] <gobbles414> ...will wait for you
[07:35] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek,  wot isnt?
[07:35] <Viking667> yo. Got a question about how I can set aside a set amount of memory for AGP. The card has 64MB on, but something's not quite right in that even though X sees that the card has 64MB, there's some sort of buffer that only gets set to 8MB. has something to do with the GART.
[07:35] <edwin> gobbles414, christ, it's 42mb? maybe a bit more than 10 min then, lool
[07:35] <misslecommander> blind leading the blind, no tristed, there are still some vetrans lingering :)
[07:35] <n2diy> twistedbeatfreek: but, some of use are not as new as others are.
[07:35] <twistedbeatfreek> lol n2diy said were all newbs
[07:36] <bazhang> misc--: sadly it is more complicated than copying the iso over--details can be found at www.pendrivelinux.com
[07:36] <gobbles414> Edwin: I have rather fast broadband, so I tend not to notice. =-O
[07:36] <edwin> misslecommander, 2 heads are better than one, right? EVEN IF someone has to play the dog, lol
[07:36] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek,  but noobs hu no bits about certain things
[07:36] <sumigamer> My xsessions error file states the foll.....(process:6974): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid. This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
[07:36] <sumigamer> program instead. For further details, see:     http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html   Refusing to initialize GTK+.
[07:36] <yagerrr123> thanks
[07:36] <twistedbeatfreek> bod so im gonna go into terminal and follow those steps?
[07:36] <gobbles414> ...still willing to wait if you're not on dialup
[07:36] <misslecommander> edwin: teams yes
[07:36] <michael___> bod says omitting dir
[07:36] <misc--> bazhang: ok thanks, yeah I looked at that a while ago so if that's what it takes then fair enough will do it that way
[07:36] <edwin> gobbles414, as reward, you should fork over your internet connection to me..or better yet, send me the money for a t line
[07:36] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek,  yep ,.,. if u get stuck let me no
[07:36] <abhi_> my firefox is crashing when i install the Sun Java plug in :(
[07:37] <bod_> abhi_, how r u installing the plugin?
[07:37] <abhi_> bod_ thru firefox
[07:38] <bod_> michael___, but did it work?
[07:38] <abhi_> bod_ i'm trying to open bseindia.com
[07:38] <abhi_> it crashes
[07:38] <gobbles414> Edwin: HeHe. Well, don't get too jealous. The phone company in my city has a monopoly on DSL and our only local cable company on cable internet. So the price to speed ratio probably sucks compared to where most people live!
[07:38] <bod_> abhi_, errmm,.,. try using synaptic to reinstall firefox ,.,. more likely to be a prob with that then the plug in
[07:38] <sumigamer> guys I need help with blackbox here......why wont it start??
[07:39] <abhi_> bod_ ?!?!
[07:39] <edwin> gobbles414,  don't talk to me about monopolies. i'm on a military installation > 10mb dsl is 50 bucks a month
[07:39] <abhi_> bod_ u know my firefox crashes even when i use iGoogle
[07:39] <michael___> bod_, no
[07:39] <twistedbeatfreek> bot i think i have compiz, i have gutsy version and that site is for feisty
[07:39] <gobbles414> Edwin: Alright, you win hands down!
[07:39] <bod_> abhi_,  open synpatic ,.,.,. System-->Admin-->Synaptic package manager
[07:39] <michael___> sudo cp /home/michael/Desktop/Clearlooks-Aquamarine /usr/share/themes thats what I type is the right?
[07:39] <bod_> michael___, try moving the file through ur file browser rather then terminal
[07:40] <gobbles414> ...Several military bases where I live so I know how the armed forces can be sometimes
[07:40] <michael___> no I am told I dont have permission
[07:40] <bod_> michael___, looks ok
[07:40] <MirJa> its ok
[07:40] <brandon> edwin, its still a no-go
[07:40] <bod_> michael___, oh ,.,. add "sudo" (Without quotes) to the beginning of that command
[07:41] <afpac> Hi, in Ubuntu some applications have their "Forward" etc. button hidden because the top and bottom of the screen have been hidden by panes. How do I deal with it?
[07:41] <michael___> I did
[07:41] <MirJa> bod_ he did
[07:41] <twistedbeatfreek>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY sk8ordie
[07:41] <bod_> MirJa, oh yer,.,. oops
[07:41] <MirJa> twistedbeatfreek, yer password is out now....muahahaha
[07:41] <bod_> michael___, can u tell me the exact error message
[07:41] <bazhang> um twistedbeatfreek you may want to do that again
[07:41] <MirJa> just kidding, change it
[07:41] <tsukasa> anyone know of a good program to limit download speeds? preferably with a somewhat fine grained control so i can limit by port or ip address
[07:41] <michael___> yeah one sec
[07:41] <twistedbeatfreek> huh
[07:41] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, ur in the wrong room to do that me thinks
[07:42] <misslecommander> i have found that sometimes sudo alone dont seem to work for me, i have to do sudo -i, then do with what i want to do. dont ask me why, i dont know
[07:42] <edwin> googlies, wow...install stalled on plugin download, so i'ma have to walk you through everything/ask questions, ok?
[07:42] <Viking667> oh. Just tried updating from 7.04 to 7.10, told me it couldn't download the upgrade tool. Is this normal?
[07:42] <bod_> !pastebin | michael___
[07:42] <ubotu> michael___: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:42] <tsukasa> anyone?
[07:42] <twistedbeatfreek> ieeeee IRC I forget
[07:42] <Viking667> tsukasa: that's rather harder to do than we think. wget will rate-limit...
[07:42] <mojo> I have a weird audio problem.  Having 2 audio cards (mobo/nvida and creative audigy2), sometimes on boot the ALSA designations flip-flop them between which is hw:0,x and hw:1,x.  I run Gutsy AMD64.  This last time left FLASH audio going to the mobo sound but I want to direct it to the Audigy2.  How do I specify which audio out the flash plugin uses?  ps - ffox64 with 32bit flash plugin via nswrapper.
[07:43] <tsukasa> Viking667, not quite what i need...
[07:43] <crimsun> mojo: do you want your onboard Nvidia to be ignored?
[07:43] <misslecommander> tsukasa: shaper in Synaptic Package Manager, has been what i was told was good,
[07:43] <edwin> brandon, dang. you may have to recompile alsa, and i've never done that.. at least you have those guides, bro. sorry i didn't help you much
[07:43] <crimsun> mojo: what's the output from `cat /proc/asound/modules`?
[07:43] <michael___> its not large, error while copying to <file name> you dont have permission to write to this folder
[07:43] <sumigamer> guys I really need help with blackbox........it doesnt start at all..........whats wrong??
[07:43] <puff> Brasero gives me this error:  write failed: Input/output error
[07:44] <crimsun> brandon: cat /proc/asound/version
[07:44] <bod_> brandon: to recompile alsa ,.,. u might aswell reinstall it from synaptic
[07:44] <crimsun> brandon: what does that command (in a Terminal) give you?
[07:44] <brandon> in terminal?
[07:44] <bod_> michael___,
[07:44] <bod_> type this
[07:44] <bod_> michael___, pre warning
[07:44] <twistedbeatfreek> bod: where would i find compiz if i had it?
[07:44] <edwin> googlies, from everything i've read, you'll not be able to do this with vlc. unless, i've missed something, and there is in fact options for playback from the command line. everything i saw was net browser plugin related
[07:44] <mojo> crimsun, well  i don't have speakers on the mobo/nvida audio but i intend to in the future.  i will get that output 1 sec..
[07:44] <puff> When trying to burn a DVD... google turns up various posts and bug fixes, but no resolution.   Any ideas what the fix is?
[07:44] <bod_> michael___, this will give u root access make sure u dont do anything stupid
[07:44] <edwin> googlies, how attached are you to vlc?
[07:45] <michael___> bod_: haha
[07:45] <gobbles414> edwin: Are you talking to me?
[07:45] <bod_> michael___, type sudo -s
[07:45] <bod_> michael___, then run ur command
[07:45] <MirJa> googlies, lol
[07:45] <edwin> gobbles414, yes.. oops
[07:45] <brandon> crimsun, Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14.
[07:45] <brandon> Compiled on Jan 20 2008 for kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (SMP).
[07:45] <edwin> gobbles414, i got tab completion happy, sorry
[07:45] <michael___> ok
[07:45] <misslecommander> twistedbeatfreek: most everything i have seen installed, shows up in Synaptic Package Manager
[07:45] <olskolirc> hi guys
[07:45] <crimsun> brandon: no wonder, that's too old.
[07:45] <bod_> hi
[07:45] <sumigamer> guys does anyone know what is setuid and setgid???
[07:45] <crimsun> brandon: are you running gutsy?
[07:45] <olskolirc> i got a failed to start gtk-qt core dump.  how do I fix this?
[07:45] <mojo> crimsun, mojo@alembic:~$ cat /proc/asound/modules
[07:45] <mojo>  0 snd_intel8x0
[07:45] <mojo>  1 snd_emu10k1
[07:45] <gobbles414> Edwin: NP, so the download from the repos stalled?
[07:46] <jvai> puff i notice this too with gnomebaker, i found i have to run gnomebaker as root, to access the dvd drive
[07:46] <puff> Ah, hm.
[07:46] <brandon> bod_, how would I re-install it fromsymantic?
[07:46] <crimsun> brandon: did you install the linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r) package?
[07:46] <twistedbeatfreek> i know its there i looked but how do i use it
[07:46] <mojo> crimsun, what controls the load order?  the audigy USED to be hw:0,n but now is hw:1,n
[07:46] <jvai> <-- on a thinkpad z60m... ata drive
[07:46] <sumigamer> anyone here???
[07:46] <brandon> yea,
[07:46] <MirJa> jvai, add yourself to the group "optical"
[07:46] <brandon> on both
[07:46] <bod_> brandon, open synaptic package manager ,.,. then search for alsa then click on the green box and click on 'Mark for reinstallation'
[07:46] <crimsun> mojo: Linux pci dev enumeration is non-deterministic, meaning it's a crapshoot for audio devices.
[07:47] <brandon> ok, thx
[07:47] <afpac> how do i access the forward button in evolution? it's hidden behind the bottom pane.
[07:47] <jvai> aahhh// ok @ MirJa
[07:47] <misslecommander> twistedbeatfreek: it becomes part of the GUI i believe, i am new, so thats all i know
[07:47] <mojo> crimsun, no kidding?  that is nuts to me... but that explains why they sometimes flip-flop on boot i guess
[07:47] <crimsun> mojo: just use this:  echo options snd-intel8x0 index=-2|sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[07:47] <brandon> crimsun, wait a second maybe i didnt get that one...
[07:47] <edwin> gobbles414, yes, it stalled, which is the first time ever.
[07:47] <mojo> crimsun, index negative two?
[07:47] <twistedbeatfreek> what is gui and where on my desktop do i find it
[07:47] <edwin> gobbles414, i would suggest looking into mpd (music player daemon)
[07:48] <crimsun> mojo: yes, that entire string verbatim.
[07:48] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, if u wanna install compiz ,.,. lets start from the beginning
[07:48] <twistedbeatfreek> ok
[07:48] <edwin> gobbles414, its similar to xmms2 without having that (what i think is) ugly interface
[07:48] <fryfrog> I'm having a weird problem that I am at a loss to trouble shoot:  Every once in a while, my server just stops doing file requests in a directory or on a share (or my array).  Right now, it is hung on a dir with a lot of 7z files that i was doing a "find" on to extract them.  I can't kill -9 the processes and rebooting ends up in a hang.
[07:48] <twistedbeatfreek> bod tell me what i need to do
[07:48] <misslecommander> twistedbeatfreek: the GUI is what you are looking at, allowing you to click and internact with linux. also how it looks
[07:48] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, open synaptic by going System-->Admin-->Synaptic package manager
[07:48] <MirJa> gobbles414, i would suggest get comfortable with mplayer
[07:49] <MirJa> it would be the best in my opinion
[07:49] <puff> jvai: hm, same error when run via sudo.
[07:49] <fryfrog> I was able to ctrl-c the 7zr / find, but now I can't cd into the dir, it just hangs
[07:49] <puff> process (BraseroGrowisofs) stderr: :-( write failed: Input/output error
[07:49] <misslecommander> twistedbeatfreek: its not all that bad. most all the packages in SPM are easy as pie to install/uninstall
[07:49] <fryfrog> I had to reboot a few minutes ago, and the array needed to resync... and now *that* has slowed down to basically not running.
[07:50] <fryfrog> the load average is high (9), but nothing is using cpu :/
[07:50] <brandon> yea i did crimsun...
[07:50] <gobbles414> Edwin and MirJa: You do realize that I actually want to use the GUI front end on whatever player I use...? I am trying to use VLC for transciptions
[07:50] <bod_> fryfrog: try a complete power off
[07:50] <edwin> mplayer is nice, but i didn't like the interface. mpd is nice because it has NO interface. That is, its just a daemon, there are a bunch of clients (interfaces) that you can use
[07:50] <crimsun> brandon: did what?
[07:50] <brandon> should I do the re-install alsa??
[07:50] <brandon> get the backports file
[07:50] <crimsun> brandon: ok, then even that is too old.
[07:50] <crimsun> brandon: one sec.
[07:50] <fryfrog> bod_: well, seriously, of course i know about that :p
[07:50] <MirJa> edwin, i dont have mplayer GUI installed
[07:50] <twistedbeatfreek> bod: whats the next step?
[07:50] <stefano_> fryfrog, that seems to be normal
[07:50] <fryfrog> bod_: i'm trying to find the *problem* instead of just recovering :/
[07:50] <MirJa> just the app and i always use it from CLI
[07:50] <MirJa> :)
[07:51] <fryfrog> stefano_: why would freezing up like that be normal?
[07:51] <edwin> MirJa, touche, i digress, lol
[07:51] <brandon> however.... upon openning symantic there were a lot of upgrades/packages already there should I load them?
[07:51] <stefano_> fryfrog, well i'd expect a resync to take a lot of time
[07:51] <n2diy> fryfrog: try sudo init 1, and then init 5
[07:51] <fryfrog> n2diy: changing init (reboot, power down) ends up hanging when it tries to unmount the raid array.
[07:51] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek,  use the search feature and search for "compiz-fusion" (Without quotes)
[07:52] <n2diy> fryfrog: yuck.
[07:52] <ArthurArchnix> Anyone know how to edit gnome/hal usb automounting policy so that usb devices with ntfs filesystems are automatically mounted with read/write permission?
[07:52] <crimsun> brandon: you need 1.0.15 _final_
[07:52] <fryfrog> stefano_: resync of array is slow, but normal is say, 5,000-20,000k/sec... /proc/mdstat has it going at 80k/sec now :/
[07:52] <brandon> ok...
[07:52] <cyberjames> hello.. how to make a good xen-tools.conf for xen host running centos?
[07:52] <fryfrog> n2diy: i can't kill the processes with open writes to the array, so i can't unmount it or remount it read-only.  i also can't use mdadm to take the array offline / make it read only :/
[07:53] <brandon> what about the packages already in the tray when I open symantic crimsun?
[07:53] <michael___> bod_: sigh, nope
[07:53] <brandon> should i dwnload them?
[07:53] <ripdisk> holy crap this is driving me crazy, i can't get the live cd to boot for ANYTHING
[07:53] <twistedbeatfreek> ok bot what then
[07:53] <crimsun> brandon: forget that.  Compile alsa-driver 1.0.15.
[07:53] <michael___> still saying omitting
[07:53] <ripdisk> i've been working on it for like 5 hours now
[07:53] <ArthurArchnix> brandon Did you get your audio working?
[07:53] <edwin> gobbles414, either way, i still think you're going to have to use a diff program. off the top of my head, the ones that i know that will do what you want (and even have a gui) are mpd, amarok, exaile, and mplayer
[07:53] <MirJa> ripdisk, any errors ?
[07:53] <mojo> crimsun, thanks, i will try that change to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base that you suggest.  need to reboot to test, of course :}  bbl!
[07:53] <fryfrog> nothing of note is showing up in dmesg or messages either :/
[07:53] <bod_> michael___, im out of ideas then m afraid ,.,. sorry
[07:53] <n2diy> fryfrog: your over my head, good luck.
[07:53] <brandon> we are discussing that now arthurarchnix. lol
[07:53] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, is there a package there called compiz-fusion?
[07:54] <fryfrog> n2diy: i'm over my head too :(
[07:54] <brandon> crimsun, how do i do that??
[07:54] <gobbles414> Edwin: XMMS2 can also, according to the link I posted earlier. Why exactly won't that procedure work in VLC?
[07:54] <fryfrog> i don't even know what to *search* for on google to get a clue
[07:54] <ripdisk> mirja, yeah, it's saying there was a kernel panic
[07:54] <edwin> gobbles414, well i assumed you didnt' want to go with xmms2, lol
[07:54] <MirJa> ooops!
[07:54] <Viking667> xmms2 is a WEIRD creature. What the hell am I supposed to use to play a tune with?
[07:54] <crimsun> brandon: go to http://www.alsa-project.org and download alsa-driver 1.0.15.
[07:54] <twistedbeatfreek> :bod there are compiz-fusion plugins
[07:54] <stefano_> hpw can i output the current unix timestamp?
[07:54] <brandon> ok
[07:54] <ArthurArchnix> crimsun: You know how to compile alsa from source? Me and brandon walked through the complete sound solutions guide, found a bug on launchpad regarding his audio card, noted that it's fixed in Hardy, but that's with newest Alsa. So compiling latest, like you say is the way to go, but I couldn't walk brandon through the steps yesterday.
[07:54] <Viking667> I got this dinky little box on the screen with play, rewind et al on it, but no way of "adding" a file.
[07:54] <edwin> gobbles414, unless you can point me to it, there is no command line command (wow that sounds redundant) to stop, skip, play, etc playback in vlc
[07:55] <michael___> well thanks anyways bod_
[07:55] <fryfrog> the weirdest part is i can visit any directory on the file system *execept* the one I was running the find command on :/
[07:55] <michael___> cant get wine to dl either sigh
[07:55] <n2diy> fryfrog: well, that is when it becomes fun, unless your maintaining something for someone else!
[07:55] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, u want the one that just says compiz-fusion or compiz ,. the plug ins will affectively install themselves
[07:55] <edwin> gobbles414, if you can give me those, then sure we can get it up and running ;-)
[07:55] <gobbles414> vlc --extrashort-jump-size -5 (five second rewind)
[07:55] <bod_> michael___,  no probs ,.,. sorry i couldnt help more
[07:55] <compu73rg33k> hmmm so I've managed to install a kernel to my /boot partition and get grub installed, when it boots up it asks for password like it should for encryption then it boots into "initramfs"
[07:55] <ripdisk> MirJa, kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill the idle task!
[07:55] <gobbles414> oops, without the vlc in front i'm sure
[07:56] <compu73rg33k> I have a root, usr and home partitions set up with LVM
[07:56] <twistedbeatfreek> bod: i think maybe i have compiz then cuz its not on there
[07:56] <crimsun> ArthurArchnix: yes, I maintained it for several years for Ubuntu.
[07:56] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, no it would still show up
[07:56] <edwin> gobbles414, it you would need the vlc in front
[07:56] <twistedbeatfreek> hmm
[07:56] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek,  1 sec let me check something
[07:56] <Devil520> exit
[07:56] <ArthurArchnix> crimsun: Wow... talk about Brandon's lucky day. Mine too... I've wanted to learn. I think I'll write down your instructions if you don't mind. :)
[07:56] <ripdisk> MirJa, any suggestions?
[07:56] <edwin> gobbles414, all you need to do is 2 things then (per command)
[07:56] <Inuyasha32246> hi all
[07:56] <compu73rg33k> anyone know how I boot to my root partition so I"m not in initramfs .. :\
[07:57] <crimsun> ArthurArchnix: the instructions themselves are well documented, so they're fairly straightforward.
[07:57] <MirJa> from where you downloaded the cd  and did you matched the md5 sums ?
[07:57] <ripdisk> yes, I did
[07:57] <brandon> ok crimsun, its downloaded
[07:57] <gobbles414> Correct... But the vlc in front is causing VLC to open in a new window
[07:57] <scottam> hey guys, i'm having trouble with grub.  i think i'm it's unable to find my /boot partition.  it often returns error 17 or 21 (unable to find or locate specified partition).  i have 5 hard drives in the system, which are called sd[a-e] in a variable order every time it boots -- 4 are sata, and i can.  i've ran grub-install onto every
[07:57] <ripdisk> MirJa, yes i did
[07:57] <brandon> do I just restart or is there something else I should do?
[07:57] <MirJa> weird, it should not happen, infact i've heard kernel panic on a live cd for the first time
[07:57] <crimsun> brandon: no, you have to build them by hand now.
[07:57] <gobbles414> The goal is to get the command to execute in an open VLC front end window
[07:57] <scottam> well, i meant to type more, but i accidentally hit enter...let me know if anyone has an idea and i'll give more details
[07:58] <brandon> fun...
[07:58] <brandon> lol
[07:58] <crimsun> brandon: where did you download it?
[07:58] <n2diy> fryfrog: off course, if your doing it for someone else, you have backups, backups, and backups!
[07:58] <edwin> gobbles414, so all you needed was the command line parameter to suppress the gui? DOH!!!
[07:58] <brandon> idk...
[07:58] <brandon> i can move the file though
[07:58] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, i gotta go to school ,.,. but people on this channel will def sort it out ,.,. join #compiz-fusion
[07:58] <crimsun> brandon: did you save it to your Desktop?
[07:58] <gobbles414> edwin: that sound's right... how do i do that?
[07:59] <brandon> im going to now
[07:59] <twistedbeatfreek> thanks bod
[07:59] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, make sure u join that channel #compiz-fusion ,.,. they will help
[07:59] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, good luck
[08:00] <brandon> crimsun, yea i have it in a folder on my desktop
[08:00] <crimsun> brandon: ok, you need to open a Terminal in that folder.
[08:00] <gobbles414> ...as I said earlier, I think that the syntax I need to add is rather generic
[08:00] <crimsun> brandon: generally, `cd ~/Desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.15`
[08:01] <lex0> can somebody tell me how to install .msi files off Wine?
[08:01] <brandon> how do i open a terminal for that specific folder crimsun?
[08:02] <bod_> lex0: wots an .msi file?
[08:02] <MirJa> brandon, open up a terminal, type >>> cd /to/theat/foder/
[08:02] <scottam> bod_: a .msi is an automated installer for windows
[08:02] <lex0> used for windows
[08:02] <bod_> ok
[08:02] <crimsun> brandon: just open a Terminal, then use the command I gave you (and how MirJa suggested)
[08:02] <bod_> scottam, cheers
[08:03] <edwin> gobbles414, i know listen has an option to start minimized, is there anything in vlc settings like that?
[08:03] <edwin> gobbles414, i'm searching right now for a global command line way to do it
[08:03] <bod_> lex0, just right click on the .msi file and select run with wine
[08:03] <brandon> ok...
[08:03] <lex0> nothing happens bod
[08:03] <gobbles414> Edwin:  I know that this particular command probably isn't correct...
[08:04] <fparis> !java
[08:04] <bod_> lex0, does r wine actually work?
[08:04] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[08:04] <bod_> les0 ur wine
[08:04] <crimsun> brandon: what's the output from `pwd`?
[08:04] <MirJa> lex0, try runing it in a terminal
[08:04] <brandon> how do i find the mapping to that folder??
[08:04] <gobbles414> ...but I thinks it's as simple as changing vlc --extrashort-jump-size 5 to something like vlc %f --extrashort-jump-size 5
[08:04] <lex0> ok how?
[08:04] <MirJa> wine *.msi
[08:04] <gobbles414> but since I don't have a clue what %f means...8-)
[08:05] <lex0> the icon is on my desktop
[08:05] <brandon> is it just                    /desktop/"folder name"
[08:05] <crimsun> brandon: yes
[08:05] <brandon> ok.
[08:05] <MirJa> brandon, cd ~/desktop/folder name
[08:05] <lex0> it says bad EXE format
[08:05] <lex0> wine could not load
[08:05] <MirJa> there you go
[08:06] <ArthurArchnix> MirJa: That probably needs a capital 'D'... ~/Desktop
[08:06] <MirJa> thats not an exe format and i never used wine (i doubt if wine runs .msi files)
[08:06] <edwin> gobbles414, this would be SO much easier if i had vlc
[08:07] <MirJa> ArthurArchnix, brandon did " pwd "  and posted the output. So its acordance to that :)
[08:07] <gobbles414> Well, how would you do this in Totem. Maybe the same solution will work in VLC
[08:07] <ArthurArchnix> MirJa: My mistake.
[08:07] <edwin> gobbles414, try "vlc -Irc --extrashort-jump-size 5"
[08:08] <brandon>  cd/desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.15
[08:08] <brandon> it said not found
[08:08] <gobbles414> ok... will apply this idea to three different hotkeys and report back in a moment
[08:08] <crimsun> brandon: that would be "cd ~/Desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.15"
[08:08] <crimsun> brandon: capitalisation is important.
[08:08] <Viking667> there's a certain command you run to load msi files, blowed if I know what it's called though.
[08:08] <JMhaha> May I know which version of ubuntu using kernel 2.4?
[08:08] <brandon> oh... duh... lol, i feel dumb now
[08:09] <crimsun> JMhaha: none use it by default, though warty (4.10) did contain 2.4 kernels.
[08:09] <idioterna> re
[08:09] <JMhaha> coz I would like to R&D on open mosix clusters, which version is suitable for it?
[08:09] <nablet> hi guys, im trying to play WoW with wine, but when i try play with opengl the graphics are messed up, any1 can help me? how i can install opengl?
[08:09] <idioterna> would anyone know what to do when Xorg 1.3 says "ring buffer allocation failed" with intel driver?
[08:09] <brandon> now i got this ->    brandon@ubuntu:~/Desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.15$
[08:09] <JMhaha> I found open mosix only support kernel 2.4
[08:10] <MirJa> lex0, try runing wine msiexec /i xyz.msi
[08:10] <gobbles414> Edwin: Nope. A new window opens in GNOME every time I press one of the hotkeys.
[08:10] <techno_freak> JMhaha, build your kernel from 2.4 source
[08:10] <edwin> gobbles414, damn
[08:10] <lex0> xyz = my file
[08:10] <lex0> ?
[08:10] <gobbles414> Edwin: agreed
[08:10] <MirJa> it means name of your file
[08:10] <lex0> ok
[08:10] <MirJa> yourfilename.msi
[08:11] <lex0> yay!
[08:11] <lex0> thanks
[08:11] <MirJa> np :)
[08:11] <brandon> crimsun is that right?
[08:11] <crimsun> brandon: good, now you need:  ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-pcm-oss-plugins=yes --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes --with-debug=detect --with-kernel=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
[08:11] <JMhaha> I am still new in ubuntu linux, can I have both 2.6 kernel and 2.4 kernel at the same machine? even from boot menu I can select which kernel I can use.
[08:12] <crimsun> JMhaha: certainly.
[08:12] <xen_> Hi, anyone know how to resize that big menu bar at the bottom of the screen in kubuntu? its bloody massive lol, kde4 btw
[08:13] <brandon> ok...
[08:13] <ArthurArchnix> crimsun: Is that a good build command to use for any card that requires the intel driver, or have you modified that for his specific card? I'm asking out of curiosity.
[08:13] <crimsun> ArthurArchnix: specifically for HDA.
[08:13] <techno_freak> xen_, right click on it, go to properties..
[08:13] <ArthurArchnix> crimsun: Thanks.
[08:13] <edwin> gobbles414, try "screen vlc <options>"
[08:13] <xen_> aint no propertys dude,
[08:13] <crimsun> brandon: after that configure command completes, run:  make
[08:14] <whalesalad> Hey guys I think I need a little lesson on file permissions. A friend and I are trying to work on a project together. I have both of us members of the staff group, and the permissions of the directory we're working with as well as all files in it are owned by me, and assigned to the "staff" group. Both me and my friend are members of the staff group, and it is our default group. for some reason he cannot edit the files inside the directo
[08:14] <techno_freak> xen_, configure panel
[08:14] <gobbles414> Edwin: 1 sec
[08:14] <xen_> it just says Task Manager Settings, which gives me
[08:14] <brandon> just type make
[08:14] <brandon> ?
[08:14] <crimsun> brandon: yes.
[08:14] <xen_> show tool tips
[08:14] <xen_> lol
[08:14] <edwin> gobbles414, nevermind wont work
[08:14] <xen_> configure panel?
[08:14] <brandon> ok
[08:14] <brandon> done
[08:14] <Starnestommy> whalesalad: are you using chmod -R mode directory?
[08:14] <techno_freak> xen_, right click on the panel, configure panel in the menu
[08:14] <crimsun> brandon: err, do you mean it's running or it's finished?
[08:14] <whalesalad> Starnestommy: yes. I did chown -R michael:staff <dirname?
[08:14] <makers_mark> hey,isn't xchat free?
[08:14] <gobbles414> edwin: already applied, so will try anyway
[08:14] <techno_freak> xen_, i had to check in a kde machine to get the menu name right
[08:14] <xen_> It dosent give the option
[08:15] <Starnestommy> makers_mark: for linux
[08:15] <Madpilot> makers_mark, on Linux, ya

[08:15] <techno_freak> xen_, are you sure you right clicked on the "panel"
[08:15] <makers_mark> i've had xchat in xp for more than a month and it never asked me to register.
[08:15] <MirJa> gobbles414, did you read the manpage?
[08:15] <xen_> ya the big panel on the bottom of the screen
[08:15] <makers_mark> and why isn't it free for all systems?
[08:15] <brandon> haha, floodbot
[08:15] <Starnestommy> whalesalad: are you trying to make it so that staff can write, read, and execute, and others can just read and run?
[08:15] <xen_> that big dock
[08:15] <techno_freak> makers_mark, you need to register you want to send Private Messages, else ok
[08:16] <whalesalad> Starnestommy: yep.

[08:17] <alanbshepard70> Does anyone know of a package that allows you to edit pictures contained in a hex file? In windows I could use a program like reshack but I can't find anything for linux. I searched the repos but found nothing. Any ideas? Any search terms to try?

[08:18] <xen_> damnit, the hotkey that used to work for screenshot(in gnome) doesnt work in kde4 :S
[08:19] <gobbles414> mirja: man vlc is very short (unless I'm doing something wrong) vlc --help is a lot longer with more commands
[08:19] <crimsun> brandon: (those packages and their dependencies should be installed already)
[08:19] <gobbles414> ...am I missing the answer in the man page
[08:19] <gobbles414> ?
[08:19] <techno_freak> xen_, you are using kde4?
[08:19] <dsturnbull> hi. any way to install ubuntu without formatting /?
[08:19] <xen_> yup
[08:19] <techno_freak> xen_, try in #kubuntu, i do not have a kde4 system to check
[08:19] <Dr_willis> dsturnbull,  clarify what you mean.
[08:19] <lex0> is there a way to use AOL on wine?
[08:20] <MirJa> gobbles414, you gotta have a look at this page if you havent already : http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help
[08:20] <dsturnbull> the graphical installer won't let me install onto my old root partition, says it MUST be formatted
[08:20] <edwin> gobbles414,  what is "-vvv" used for ?
[08:20] <brandon> http://pastebin.com/m357daace   crimsun
[08:20] <ArthurArchnix> lex0: It doesn't have to be wine, but you should definitely be drinking something if you're going to be using AOL.
[08:20] <bmt2> hello to all
[08:21] <bmt2> i just ran in the ultimate challenge... !

[08:21] <bmt2> any suggesstions ?
[08:21] <whalesalad> Starnestommy: thanks again dude
[08:21] <crimsun> brandon: ok, now:  make distclean
[08:21] <gobbles414> edwin: I tried vvv after finding it in google vlc -vvv --play-and-stop
[08:22] <gobbles414> is that right?
[08:22] <gobbles414> still gave new windows every time
[08:22] <mojo> crimsun, you rock man!  i now have my audigy coming up as hw:0 in alsa, and thus my flash audio (flash 32 on ffox 64 via nswrapper) working on the audigy again!!!
[08:22] <crimsun> brandon: then repeat that configure command.  Please pastebin both the configure command _and_ its output.
[08:22] <brandon> make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'.  Stop.
[08:22] <edwin> gobbles414, oh ok, just making sure we didn't miss the obvious.. btw, after friggin forever, vlc seems to be installed, so i'll play with it a bit

[08:23] <xen_> see dude, dosent give me the option
[08:23] <edwin> gobbles414,  can you give me the command for rewind again, please?
[08:24] <mojo> crimsun, ps - lookin on my own for the past few days most suggested pulseaudio to re-route the flash audio but i can't use pulse with jack because the pulseaudo jack connection module isn't part of the package (the bug says something about jack-audio-connection-kit isn't in main so they won't include it for now, ugh!!!)  but this is a much more immediate fix so thanks again
[08:24] <techno_freak> xen_, try asking them, they have better knowledge about kde4 than me
[08:24] <gobbles414> edwin: glad to hear it... will wait...
[08:25] <dsturnbull> ha, just move /etc/partman/check.d/12system_partitions_formatted..
[08:25] <mojo> crimsun: +5 karma
[08:25] <edwin> gobbles414, ok, i just played at the command line a bit, and "vlc -Irc" in fact does run it without the gui
[08:25] <brandon> an then type make right?
[08:25] <gobbles414> edwin: I WANT to use the GUI!
[08:25] <brandon> after the "configure" command
[08:25] <gobbles414> I DO NOT want a new window to open every time I press the hotkeys
[08:26] <edwin> gobbles414, so then are you just wanted the window to be minimized or what?
[08:26] <crimsun> brandon: I just need to see the configure command and its output pastebinned for now, please.
[08:26] <gobbles414> All that I want is a hotkey to play/pause an active audio file VLC, for my work as a transcriptionist
[08:27] <gobbles414> then one for 5 seconds fast forward
[08:27] <brandon> http://pastebin.com/m58a5ba4b
[08:27] <gobbles414> and another for 5 second rewind
[08:27] <MirJa> gobbles414, are you playing an audio right now ?
[08:27] <MirJa> try this
[08:27] <brandon> there was an error
[08:27] <brandon> last line
[08:27] <MirJa> press spacebar. see what happens ?
[08:27] <gobbles414> edwin: yes
[08:28] <MirJa> press ctrl+forward arrow key
[08:28] <stuart> will file roller keep asking me for a password if i only extract part1.rar, or will it tell me to include file2.rar before extracting?
[08:28] <crimsun> brandon: looks like the folder itself was extracted improperly
[08:28] <stuart> on password .rar's that is.
[08:28] <edwin> gobbles414, just a question: have you already tried to set up shortcuts using System > preferences > keyboard shortcuts?
[08:28] <brandon> great....
[08:29] <crimsun> brandon: do you still have the original downloaded file (not folder)?
[08:29] <edwin> gobbles414, there are aptions for play, resume, rewind, etc
[08:29] <fparis> i installed java, and the blackdown to enable java plugins in my browser. but when i type about:plugins, it doenst show that  its installed.
[08:29] <brandon> u mean the alsa i just downloaded?
[08:29] <crimsun> brandon: yes, the actual file named alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2
[08:29] <brandon> yea
[08:30] <gobbles414> Edwin and MirJa: YES, we are understanding each other now!!! I want to duplicate the behavoir of CTRL+arrow keys. HOWEVER, I do not want to have to leave my word processor to execute those commands. Hence, creating GLOBAL keyboard shortcuts in gconf-editor.
[08:30] <techno_freak> fparis, from where did you install java?
[08:30] <crimsun> brandon: what's its sha1sum?  (sha1sum alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2)
[08:31] <fparis> add/rem applications techno_freak
[08:31] <brandon> it was until i put it on my desktop
[08:31] <QwertyM> crimsun: its a secure hash check, to validate if your downloaded file is perfect/original/non-manipulated
[08:32] <techno_freak> fparis, did you install sun-java6-plugins ?
[08:32] <xen_> this is going to sound dumb but, how do i start dolphin with root powers?
[08:32] <QwertyM> you hash it with the file to find out
[08:32] <brandon> it is without the ".tar.bz2"
[08:32] <QwertyM> yeah its just a key
[08:32] <fparis> techno_freak, it wont let me.. it said "doesnt exist"
[08:32] <crimsun> QwertyM: (did you mean to direct that to brandon?)
[08:32] <techno_freak> xen_, kdesu
[08:32] <xen_> ah ok ty
[08:32] <QwertyM> crimsun: errr, oops sorry
[08:32] <techno_freak> fparis, sun-java6-plugin - The Java(TM) Plug-in, Java SE 6
[08:33] <fparis> "package sun-java6-plugin has no installation candidate)
[08:34] <techno_freak> fparis, 7.10 ?
[08:34] <fparis> techno_freak, yes
[08:34] <gobbles414> Edwin and MirJa: Any ideas...? :'(
[08:34] <techno_freak> fparis, have you enabled multiverse and universe repos?
[08:34] <edwin> gobbles414, mine works out of the box
[08:34] <edwin> gobbles414,  i had to change 2 things, neither of which was gconf-editor
[08:35] <fparis> techno_freak, i am sure i have, when i open package manager, i can see multiverse and universe stuff?
[08:35] <gobbles414> Edwin: I'm listening with all three of my ears (lol)
[08:35] <MirJa> gobbles414, dude duplicating commands, i have no freakin idea about that, sorry :(
[08:35] <edwin> gobbles414, 1) under System > preferences > keyboard shortcuts, modify the keys you would like to use for playback
[08:35] <techno_freak> fparis, does apt-cache search sun java6 show the package?
[08:35] <some_dude> why are there no modules listed in my xorg.conf ?
[08:36] <edwin> gobbles414, 2) under System > Preferences > Preferred apps, click on the multimedia tab and change the box that says "rythembox" to "vlc'
[08:36] <bullgard4> What is meant by 'asound' (The /proc/asound directory)
[08:36] <anvo> Hello world!
[08:36] <crimsun> brandon: any progress on that pastebin?
[08:36] <edwin> gobbles414, i am listening to music and typing this at the same type
[08:36]  * techno_freak starts some music too
[08:36] <edwin> gobbles414,  vlc didnt pop up, and i can rewind, etc
[08:36] <scottam> what is an acceptable amount of time to repost a question?
[08:36] <fparis> techno_freak, i did thhhat yes it showed files
[08:36] <brandon> http://pastebin.com/m58a5ba4b
[08:37] <D|sToRt|oN> how can i install wine ?
[08:37] <brandon> i pasted it earlier to you
[08:37] <anvo> Any idea how to make a Creative Live Cam Notebook to work with Gutsy?
[08:37] <techno_freak> fparis, oops, wonder why..
[08:37] <kr00l> I installed doom3 demo and had it working. Now i exited out and i would like to run it again. Does anyone know the command to run doom 3 demo?
[08:37] <some_dude> don't i need some modules in my xorg.conf ?
[08:37] <techno_freak> fparis, does it have "sun-java6-plugin"
[08:37] <fparis> techno_freak, it says (32-bit) im on a 64 macine? is that why? and no, it does not say plugin
[08:37] <techno_freak> scottam, ??
[08:38] <Dr_willis> kr00l,  how did you install it? it may of put a 'doom' game in the path
[08:38] <gobbles414> Edwin: VLC is not in the list for me. I have Banshee, Totem, and Rythenbox. I also have custom (which allows me to type a custom command)
[08:38] <MirJa> brandon, the install-sh script is missing
[08:38] <crimsun> brandon: sorry, I meant the sha1sum command
[08:38] <techno_freak> fparis, ah you're on 64 bit machine, then fine
[08:38] <MirJa> o0o
[08:38] <MirJa> oops
[08:38] <D|sToRt|oN> if you answer my Post pls PM im going to google my question thanks
[08:38] <techno_freak> fparis, please tell ubuntu version, arch when you ask a question ;)
[08:38] <edwin> gobbles414, just type "vlc" into custom
[08:38] <fparis> techno_freak, the java6-plugin is not there. hehe sorry.. 7.10, x86_64 :)
[08:39] <ArthurArchnix> crimsun: I wanted to stick around and watch the whole thing, but it's getting late. Is the summary like this: install build essential, download latest driver, extract to folder, cd to folder, run configure (use those options you listed IF the card uses the Intel HDA driver), then make, then we haven't got there yet, but I'm assuming: make install, then reboot. Does that about sum it up?
[08:39] <kr00l> Dr_willis: i used the ubuntu wiki to install the demo
[08:39] <brandon> sorry crimsun, whats a shalsum command? well what i mean is how do I get it?
[08:39] <gobbles414> Edwin: done and testing... 1 sec
[08:39] <crimsun> ArthurArchnix: yes, except you need both build-essential and linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[08:39] <anvo> Any idea how to make a Creative Live! Cam Notebook to work with Gutsy?
[08:39] <edwin> gobbles414, the only caveat i could see is searching/seeking
[08:39] <kr00l> Dr_willis: I'm in my games folder and i don't see anything
[08:39] <MirJa> brandon, sha1sum alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2
[08:39] <techno_freak> fparis, am little knowledged on 64bit, ask around this channel
[08:39] <Dr_willis> kr00l,  look in your home dir It normally makes a dir there and links in bin. or reread the docs. (guess ya could rerun the installer and see where its installing stuff to)
[08:40] <brandon> what, type it in terminal?
[08:40] <Dr_willis> kr00l,  could try typing 'doo<tab>' in the termninal
[08:40] <ArthurArchnix> crimsun: Noted. Thanks for being kind to a noisy lurker. :)
[08:40] <fparis> alrighty, anyone know how to get java working in firefox in a x86_64 machine? the plugin is not installed, even if java is installed.
[08:40] <scottam> techno_freak: hey, i was running back and forth and didnt hear what you said
[08:41] <crimsun> ArthurArchnix: anytime.
[08:41] <techno_freak> scottam, what were you asking about?
[08:41]  * ArthurArchnix puts on his winter coat. Goodbye!
[08:41] <brandon> Mirja, do i type that in the terminal?
[08:41] <kr00l> Dr_willis: doom3-demo? how did you know that?
[08:41] <MirJa> brandon, yes
[08:41] <scottam> grub problem...grub seems to be unable to find the /boot partition
[08:42] <brandon> it says not found
[08:42] <Dr_willis> kr00l,  logical thinking and clean living. :P
[08:42] <scottam> grub channel is empty....
[08:42] <brandon> no such file or directory
[08:42] <Dr_willis> scottam,  its not on a raid partition is it?
[08:42] <MirJa> brandon, pwd
[08:42] <MirJa> in a terminal
[08:43] <MirJa> and tell me the output
[08:43] <scottam> there is a raid partition, but it isn't on it

[08:47] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[08:47] <UberDay> ?
[08:47] <brandon> ok its downloading something
[08:48] <edwin> gobbles414, strange, it was working up until i messed with gconf-editor. even after i reset everything, shortcuts were still broken. that may be why urs weren't working
[08:48] <brandon> ok crimsun and MirJa, its done
[08:48] <UberDay> faianca cedega is better for running games
[08:48] <brandon> now what? paste bin?
[08:48] <edwin> gimme a sec, i'm gonna log out and see if that fixes it
[08:49] <pinkbunny> Im trying to play a URL that has an @ sign in the address...mplayer or vlc or anything will not play it (thinks the stuff after @ is the url). Can anyone help?
[08:49] <faianca> UberDay: i need to pay :(
[08:49] <UberDay> for cedega?
[08:49] <faianca> yeah
[08:49] <faianca> i think so :X
[08:50] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. Toying with compiz. Whats the plugin that sort of reduces windows to a expo-like  spread. when you move the mouse to the top right corner? Trying to disable it. :P
[08:51] <UberDay> faianca i got a free copy :) from a friend
[08:51] <idyllic> Dr_willis: i think it is SCALE
[08:51] <faianca> UberDay: ur lucky :)
[08:51] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. Got that disabled.. and it still doing it.. In fact I got everyting disabled.. heh heh
[08:51] <crimsun> brandon: yes, now run that sha1sum command, and pastebin the result
[08:52] <UberDay> faianca read your pm box i sent u
[08:52] <brandon> http://pastebin.com/m536501b
[08:52] <brandon> crimsun, what was the shalsum command again?
[08:52] <gobbles414> Edwin: Well, I misunderstood your original instructions and thought that I was supposed to use VLC's shortcuts. You wanted me to change Ubuntu's keyboard shortcut! Anyway, there are two problems with that. First, Totem is respecting Ubuntu's keyboard shortcuts, but VLC is not. Second problem: In my system, there are no global shortcuts for rewind and fast forward (only previous track and next track)...
[08:52] <pinkbunny> Im trying to play a URL that has an @ sign in the address...mplayer or vlc or anything will not play it (thinks the stuff after @ is the url). Can anyone help?
[08:52] <brandon>  sha1sum alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2
[08:53] <brandon> ??
[08:53] <MirJa> yes
[08:53] <brandon> kk
[08:53] <edwin> gobbles414, logging out and back in fixed it for me
[08:53] <edwin> gobbles414: i can type and listen to, play/stop, skip, etc at the same time
[08:53] <brandon> ok, first paste bin is ->http://pastebin.com/m536501b
[08:54] <gobbles414> Edwin: 1 sec while I logout
[08:54] <brandon> Shalsum paste bin is ->  http://pastebin.com/mf5fa9dd
[08:55] <faianca> UberDay: can send me again? i didnt had my nick identified
[08:55] <UberDay> i did
[08:55] <crimsun> brandon: good, the sha1sum is correct
[08:56] <faianca> UberDay: didnt received nothing T_T :X
[08:56] <brandon> ok....
[08:56] <UberDay> i sent u a message
[08:56] <crimsun> brandon: now:  tar xf alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2
[08:57] <Cs2excalibur> anyone using recordmydesktop?
[08:57] <Cs2excalibur> i need some help with the audio
[08:57] <UberDay> faianca do you use yahoo messenger?
[08:57] <Librustralia> Hello :)
[08:58] <faianca> UberDay: yup
[08:58] <gobbles414> Edwin: Totem is still respecting Ubuntu's hotkey, while VLC is not. It could be because I am on a laptop. I really think that I was on the correct path with gconf-editor.
[08:58] <rabiddachshund> I've got my computer hooked up to a TV and changed the resolution on accident. I managed to ftp my xorg.conf but I don't know what to change. Help? http://pastebin.ca/867284
[08:58] <brandon> ok, it is not doing anything...
[08:58] <faianca> UberDay: i go check it
[08:58] <UberDay> add me uber.linux on yahoo
[08:58] <Librustralia> I'm having difficulties with installing windows (windows ME). When I insert the CD, it says "CD drivers not found, installation aborted" (or something similar)
[08:58] <UberDay> :)
[08:58] <xelnaga> hey guys
[08:58] <Cs2excalibur> hey
[08:58] <xelnaga> do u know how to install flash in x86_64
[08:58] <Cs2excalibur> can anyone help me with "recordmydesktop"?
[08:59] <crimsun> brandon: what do you mean?  That command should have "only" returned you to a prompt.
[08:59] <Librustralia> oops
[08:59] <brandon> brandon@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ tar xf alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2
[08:59] <brandon> brandon@ubuntu:~/Desktop$
[08:59] <Librustralia> wrong channel
[09:00] <Librustralia> lol
[09:00] <gobbles414> MirJa: Did edwin leave the room?
[09:00] <crimsun> brandon: that is correct.  Now, `cd alsa-driver-1.0.15`
[09:00] <MirJa> umm dont know
[09:00] <crimsun> brandon: then, execute that long configure command from before
[09:01] <faianca> UberDay: add me pls ^ ^
[09:01] <MirJa> crimsun: why not make him a compound command instead of telling single command at atime
[09:01] <Starnestommy> xelnaga: there's some sort of fix on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397
[09:01] <crimsun> MirJa: (I already did that above.)
[09:02] <MirJa> oops! didnt noticed
[09:02] <brandon>  ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-pcm-oss-plugins=yes --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes --with-debug=detect --with-kernel=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
[09:02] <MirJa> damn this 2 pass encoding
[09:02] <brandon> thats it right?
[09:02] <MirJa> takes alot of time
[09:02] <brandon> or is it the other one?
[09:02] <Cs2excalibur> RON PAUL 2008!!!
[09:03] <compu73rg33k> I'm creating a fresh install and it seems to have frozen at "Preparing footmatic-db-hpijs"
[09:03] <rabiddachshund> can someone look at my xorg and tell me why it's making my tv illegible? http://pastebin.ca/867284
[09:03] <compu73rg33k> it's been at 45% for 20 minutes
[09:03] <Cs2excalibur> can anyone help me with my audio for recordmydesktop?
[09:03] <edwin> oops, got disconnected and didn't notice gobbles414 make it back?
[09:03] <compu73rg33k> I found this bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-db-hpijs/+bug/146742 ) but that doesn't help
[09:04] <compu73rg33k> Is there a away to skip over a package during the install?
[09:04] <compu73rg33k> So I can just get the system up, I dont' think I need that package anyhow
[09:04] <gobbles414> Edwin: HEY, it still isn't working for me -- maybe because I'm on a laptop. I really think that I'm on the correct track with creating hotkeys in gconf-editor. Would you please try that and see what happens
[09:05] <edwin> gobbles414, couldn't be that you're on a laptop-- so am I. as for gconf-editor, i tried that and it broke my shortcuts intirely, lol
[09:06] <brandon> crimsun, u want that on pastebin when its done?
[09:06] <compu73rg33k> anyone know if there's a way to just skip the current package from installing? there has to be a simple skip over comand no/
[09:06] <gobbles414> Edwin: So you didn't see a new window appear each time you pressed the assigned hotkey from gconf-editor?
[09:06] <UberDay> anyone know of a program that will clean out cookies and unused files on ubuntu 7.10?
[09:07] <edwin> gobbles414 i did see a new window popup. it also broke the shortcuts that were previously working
[09:07] <crimsun> brandon: that's the correct command.  No, I don't need it pastebinned.  After that command completes, you need:  make && sudo make install
[09:07] <Cs2excalibur> you guys are useless
[09:08] <Dr_willis> Cs2excalibur,  hmm.. demand a refund? it is 4 am here
[09:08] <crimsun> brandon: after all those commands complete, reboot.
[09:08] <brandon> k
[09:08] <compu73rg33k> Tip: just state your problem
[09:08] <edwin> gobbles414, i think we need to find a way to detect if a sound file is already playing
[09:08] <kepalapening> hi
[09:08] <Cs2excalibur> I would like a refund but Ubuntu is free
[09:08] <gobbles414> Edwin: Umm... What do you mean? VLC makes it quite clear when a file is playing.
[09:09] <crimsun> brandon: I'm off now, have to work.
[09:09] <crimsun> brandon: g'luck.
[09:10] <edwin> gobbles414, what i mean is that every time you type "vlc" a new instance of the program is run, so you sending a command to skip is moot because no file is open
[09:10] <brandon> ok thx a lot crimsun
[09:10] <Cs2excalibur> brando you noob
[09:10] <edwin> gobbles414, actually, the reason i stopped using vlc in the first place is because the only way you can prevent multiple instances of it running is under windows
[09:10] <mojo> Cs2excalibur, you embarass me as a fellow Ron Paul supporter... give the folks on IRC time before calling them useless... that attitude will guarantee you are ignored.
[09:10] <Cs2excalibur> lol
[09:10] <Cs2excalibur> relax mojo
[09:10] <mojo> lol
[09:11] <mojo> Cs2excalibur, fwiw i've never played with any desktop recording stuff or i would try to help
[09:11] <Cs2excalibur> I just bought a "RON PAUL" sticker for my car so I'm pretty happy
[09:12] <gobbles414> Edwin: Exactly right regarding no file being open. Of course, for my needs manually entering the file name in the terminal each time I want to pause is out of the question.
[09:12] <edwin> gobbles414, counter productive actually, as you'd have to give focus to the command line before you could do it, lol
[09:13] <mojo> Cs2excalibur, sometimes it's the little things in life that make us happy... like seeing fellow Ron Paul supporters in the wild :)  okay, nuff said / off-topic
[09:13] <Cs2excalibur> well thing is, it was working when I first installed it, but not it's not and I'm thinking it's something to do with the audio configuration.  Or it could be Virtual Box.
[09:13] <pinkbunny> agh stupid xchat highlighting on my name...ron...
[09:13] <Cs2excalibur> lol
[09:13] <gobbles414> Edwin: Yep! Maybe we should attempt to modify Totem to work for me?
[09:13] <edwin> gobbles414, as such, this is why we had suggested earlier using a different media player. is there any particular reason you're attached to vlc? i mean, for just transcription work, is there anything stopping you from using something else (i do transcription work myself, and i just use the recorder lol)
[09:13] <Cs2excalibur> I just like to talk a lot of crap
[09:13] <Cs2excalibur> that's what you can do online
[09:14] <brandon> MirJa, I shouldnt need to type anything else right? just reboot?
[09:14] <MirJa> yes
[09:14] <edwin> gobbles414, i'll start playing around with totem and see what i can come up with
[09:14] <brandon> ok, well ill be back then
[09:15] <mojo> i <3 internet radio - where else do you get "these boots are made for walkin" after a roots-rock reggae track and a trancy-tune, lol
[09:15] <edwin> gobbles414, totem has an infrared remote control plugin :P
[09:16] <idyllic> mojo: i <3 internet radio - where else do you get "if you don't like this track, we will fast forward"
[09:16] <ArthurArchnix> MirJa: Did Brandon get all the way through crimsun's instructions? Is he rebooting now to see if it works?
[09:16] <Cs2excalibur> there's a lot of pple online but few talking?
[09:16] <mojo> idyllic, lol
[09:16] <pau1> I am trying to add music to my iPod through RythymBox ... and it seems to be all setup automatically for it.... I can see the iPod and even drag music into it... but when I Eject the iPod there is no music in it..... why oh why???
[09:16] <MirJa> ArthurArchnix, yes i guess
[09:16] <_coredump_> moinsen
[09:17] <JMhaha> quite interesting question : If using Ubuntu with Open Mosix, running VirtualBox or VMWare, has anybody really benchmark the difference of processing speed? Would it be faster?
[09:17] <Cs2excalibur> Paul, hey paul, make use it's in mp3 file and not ogg
[09:17] <gobbles414> Edwin:  I am not locked into VLC. But I don't like the MPlayer or XMMS interfaces and Totem's skip forward goes way too far by default.
[09:18] <edwin> gobbles414, i'm the same...thats why i use mpd :P
[09:18] <pau1> anyone?
[09:18] <std> my computer thinks the zip disk is a floppy
[09:18] <edwin> gobbles414, anyways, enough plugging of the app that i didn't even develop. lets get your sh** workin
[09:19] <misslecommander> terminal editor ?
[09:19] <edwin> gobbles414, can you shoot me that xmm2 link again real quick
[09:19] <edwin> ?*
[09:19] <stefano_> is there a good interface designer for gtk2 that integrates well with perl?
[09:19] <fotoflo> hmmm, from top: Cpu(s):  0.1% us,  0.0% sy,  0.0% ni, 99.9% id,  0.0% wa,  0.0% hi,  0.0% si
[09:19] <fotoflo> what is ni?
[09:19] <std> I am having trouble with an iomega zip disk.
[09:19] <misslecommander> terminal editor command allows root text edit ?
[09:20] <Spee_Der> fotoflo: ni = nice i think
[09:20] <gobbles414> Edwin: 1 sec
[09:20] <pau1> anyone?
[09:20] <pau1> I am trying to add music to my iPod through RythymBox ... and it seems to be all setup automatically for it.... I can see the iPod and even drag music into it... but when I Eject the iPod there is no music in it..... why oh why???
[09:20] <fotoflo> Spree_der: whats that mean?
[09:21] <compu73rg33k> ugh, I'm still stuck at 45% "Preparing foomatic-db-hpijs" anyone know how to abort the current package installation and just get on with the rest of the installation? I don't need this package really
[09:21] <gobbles414> Edwin: <http://www.freewisdom.org/en/all/entries/2007/11/04/audio_transcription_on/>
[09:21] <Cs2excalibur> paul why don't you try copying and pasting it to your ipod?
[09:21] <buyaka> stefano_, i dont know a whole lot about it tbh but have you looked at glade?
[09:21] <Spee_Der> fotoflo: It is the "nice value", defining how much cpu time the program is going to use or share with other running tasks.
[09:21] <buyaka> they have glade-perl for it
[09:21] <pinkbunny> Cs2excalibur, iPods use a database, simply copying and pasting wont work for pau1
[09:21] <stefano_> buyaka, no i havent, thank you, i'll do just that
[09:21] <buyaka> http://www.glade-perl.connectfree.co.uk/
[09:22] <stefano_> nice
[09:22] <Cs2excalibur> well sorry i hate ipod, there's no radio
[09:22] <grigora> Why would rsync copy certain files over and over again, even though the target dir already has that file and it hasn't changed? I am using the following options - -rvz --delete. Thanks.
[09:22] <pau1> pinkbunny: I am not just cutting and pasting
[09:22] <kr00l> I would like some help installing "uplink"
[09:22] <fotoflo> Spree_der, thats in the totals
[09:22] <pinkbunny> pau1, I know, I was informing Cs2excalibur that copying and pasting will not work with iPods.
[09:22] <fotoflo> it means everyything is bieng nice?
[09:23] <Spee_Der> fotoflo: Go to System > Admin > System Monitor, you will get a good idea. It takes a moment to load, so be patient.
[09:23] <Cs2excalibur> but honesty why buy an Ipod for 300 when you can get a damn good laptop for 900?
[09:23] <pau1> pinkbunny: I am using Rythymbox and following the how-to
[09:23] <fotoflo> spree_der: using ubuntu server, no gui
[09:23] <edwin> gobbles414, will any of these interfaces suffice? : http://gimmix.berlios.de/screenshots.php (gimmix) http://sonata.berlios.de/screenshots.html (sonata) http://sarine.nl/gmpc-screenshots (gmpc)
[09:24] <Spee_Der> fotoflo: OIC. I dno't know the server flavor, yet.  But it is the sharing quility of a running task.
[09:24] <pinkbunny> pau1, heh sorry, I have no clue how to set it up. I use MacOSX in VMWare for all my iPod needs.
[09:24] <Cs2excalibur> humm that's interesting Paul my friend hooked his Ipod to my computer and we transfer file no problem
[09:24] <compu73rg33k> Alright advice: The installation has been hung up at "Preparing foomatic-db-hpijs" for like 20 minutes now, do you think I should just restart and retry the installation or does anyone think it'll eventually work and move on
[09:25] <gobbles414> Edwin: At this point, I am willing to settle for just about anything. If you think that XMMS2 is the way to go, I'll just do that.
[09:25] <Spee_Der> fotoflo: I think you can open terminal, then type man nice and get more infos......
[09:26] <brandon> still no sound...
[09:26] <Cs2excalibur> anyone know a good movie maker?
[09:26] <pinkbunny> compu73rg33k, did you check the MD5/hashs to make sure the ISO you downloaded was not currupted in any way? And restart, usually if its hung for that long its not going anywhere.
[09:26] <edwin> gobbles414, ive not touched xmms2, but i'd say go with it, then once a better alternative comes along, replace it
[09:26] <edwin> gobbles414, that way, you have something functional at least
[09:27] <brandon> MirJa, idk what im gunna do... probably have to wait for hardy huh?
[09:27] <compu73rg33k> hmm no pinkbunny but I did get a successful install earlier in the day, it's just that installation got messed up wwith the boot partition heh
[09:27] <mkquist> MS Paint w/layers...  That isn't Photoshop my friends.  Not to rain on any parades or anything.  Photoshop is a bit more than that.
[09:27] <Spee_Der> fotoflo: Don't mistake the nice feature for the Nice programming language :>
[09:27] <mkquist> oops, sorry wrong channel
[09:27] <pinkbunny> compu73rg33k, ah lol yeah just restart it and itll eventually work.
[09:28] <Cs2excalibur> I need to get laid
[09:28] <compu73rg33k> I think I also used it to isntall a week or two ago, so I *think* the CD is ok
[09:28] <compu73rg33k> I'll just try again and if it fails again I'll redownload the iso
[09:29] <edwin> well, i'm off to do some web programming aka uber nerd stuff
[09:29] <gobbles414> Edwin: Thanks for the advice. It's getting REALLY late where I am. Got to go... Thanks for the help. Have a good night.
[09:29] <compu73rg33k> I'll just watch an episode of "The Universe" while it installs again :)
[09:29] <edwin> gobbles414, yep, sorry we couldn't make vlc behave
[09:29] <Cs2excalibur> Anime FTW
[09:29] <edwin> later all

[09:31] <Starnestommy> pau1: edit /etc/fstab?
[09:31] <pinkbunny> Cs2excalibur, and do you honestly think the 1000 or so people in here care about you wanting to get laid or your likes in anime?

[09:31] <grigora> anyone?
[09:31]  * Spee_Der is most thankful for the help in this channel.

[09:32]  * erUSUL do not feed the troll
[09:32] <Cs2excalibur> ok ok i'll stop
[09:32] <Cs2excalibur> for now
[09:32] <ArthurArchnix> and in a terminal, if you type: aplay -l
[09:32] <grigora> does anyone know why rsync would keep copying files over even though they are the same?
[09:33] <Spee_Der> fotoflo: I think this week i will install the server version and learn that also.....   Just to learn something new.....
[09:33] <ArthurArchnix> brandon see above, does that give you a list of devices, or does it just say, none are found.
[09:33] <AdvoWork> Hi there. I've connected to my dedicated server via ftp, and am trying to upload a file, which is giving me the error: [R] 450-Error during write to file: Disk quota exceeded. doing a # df shows ive got tons of space, so what could it be?
[09:33] <pau1> anyone know how to get an iPod working in Ubuntu?
[09:33] <brandon> i have a list
[09:33] <grigora> pau1: look for Banshee
[09:33] <Spee_Der> fotoflo: I just bought 100 dvd's for 25 bux so I am reading for more confusion ! haha
[09:33] <Cs2excalibur> Yes Paul, you just plug it in and drag stuff into it
[09:34] <pau1> grigora: will it work?
[09:34] <grigora> pau1: doesn't do playlists yet, but otherwise works fine
[09:34] <erUSUL> !ipod | pau1
[09:34] <ubotu> pau1: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[09:34] <grigora> pau1:  there is a page describing how to do it, but yes, it does work
[09:34] <pinkbunny> ahh rockbox <3
[09:34] <grigora> erUSUL: that's the page for pau1, thanks
[09:35] <pau1> thanks
[09:35] <ArthurArchnix> brandon  ok, well after installing new alsa drivers you need to unmute your soundcard.
[09:35] <brandon> unmute the soundcard??
[09:35] <ArthurArchnix> In a terminal type: alsaconf
[09:35] <dr_> its real fukced im toast
[09:35] <brandon> cause it shows everything is unmusted
[09:35] <pau1> I have tried gtkpod, Amarok, Rythymbox.... and none of them work
[09:36] <Darkmystere> How would i use virtuall box to Mount an .iso Thats in a zip file without extracting it?
[09:36] <brandon> "command not found
[09:36] <grigora> pau1: banshee does work
[09:36] <Starnestommy> Darkmystere: I think you need to extract it
[09:36] <majikins> hi - does anyone have experience with raid1 and lvm on ubuntu server?
[09:36] <dr_> bye bye job
[09:37] <pau1> I am trying out banshee now
[09:37] <dr_> at least im drunk
[09:37] <ArthurArchnix> brandon Sorry, its: alsamixer
[09:37] <brandon> i already did that after i rebooted
[09:37] <Cs2excalibur> anyone using VB? I need help setting my share folder from host?
[09:37] <ArthurArchnix> Brandon. Ok. Bummer man.
[09:37] <Darkmystere> starnestommy: Wouldnt that make it like 5GB or so?
[09:37] <Darkmystere> I ony have 5.1GB left on this partion..
[09:38] <brandon> yea it is
[09:38] <pau1> grigora: I cannot see the iPod in Banshee
[09:38] <Starnestommy> Darkmystere: there's no way to read it from the .zip without first unzipping it
[09:38] <grigora> pau1: did you follow the instructions on that page?
[09:38] <UberDay> anyone know a program for ubuntu 7.10 to clean out cookies and un-used files?
[09:38] <erUSUL> pau1: maybe you need to configure and activate the apopiate plugin
[09:38] <ArthurArchnix> brandon Have you tried deleting all the changes you've made to alsa-base file? Those options that you've added, and restarted?
[09:39] <pau1> grigora: ok I unplugged it and plugged it back in and its there.... now I will try to add music to it
[09:39] <grigora> so does anyone know why rsync would keep copying files even when the target is the same as the source?
[09:39] <pinkbunny> Darkmystere, there are ways to mount .iso's inside .zip's, but the hours of headache you'll go through to accomplish that would be much better spend clearing up some space and extracting the .iso.
[09:39] <erUSUL> UberDay: you can delete those things from firefox
[09:39] <brandon> no, how do I do that?
[09:39] <brandon> gedit?
[09:39] <UberDay> yes i know this erUSUL but im also needing a program to clean out un-used files
[09:39] <pau1> grigora: can I make playlists in banshee?
[09:40] <grigora> could it be related to the fact that the target is a cifs mounted from a Windows box?
[09:40] <pinkbunny> bleh i always come in here to get help and i end up helping others :(
[09:40] <dr_> this is the what im in xchat
[09:40] <ArthurArchnix> brandon: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[09:40] <erUSUL> UberDay: what do you call unused files?
[09:40] <grigora> pau1: not yet, as I already said
[09:40] <ArthurArchnix> brandon Remove the stuff you added to the end, reboot, and pray.
[09:40] <dr_> http://roland.505.ru/med_death_ray.jpg
[09:40] <UberDay> just files that i no longer use anymore. such as unused package files and what not
[09:40] <sofiankrt> how can I use mandriva's bootloader instead of my ubuntu one?
[09:41] <pinkbunny> !ops dr_ | drunk bantering
[09:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ops dr_ - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:41] <erUSUL> UberDay: deborphan can point out deb files that are unused/uneeded

[09:43] <Spee_Der>  sri, not me
[09:43] <Darkmystere> Err how would i convert a .img file to .iso?
[09:43] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: yes
[09:43] <Kirrus> erUSUL, I figured that out ;) I'm having trouble finding the log, there doesn't appear to be a specific file for it
[09:43] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: all my operating systems actually
[09:43] <UberDay> ok thank you very much erUSUL
[09:43] <brandon> brb
[09:43] <bryan5482> hello, I have computer with ubuntu on hdd of 500gb (1 partition),i also have the live-cd , and i would like to split the hdd to 250gb and still keep the data does it possible ?
[09:44] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: just put the apropiate "stanza" on the menu.lst file of your mandriva instalation
[09:44] <Darkmystere> The partion is only like 15GB..
[09:44] <erUSUL> UberDay: no problem
[09:44] <Darkmystere> pinkbunny: How do i mount a iso in a zip file?
[09:44] <pau1> grigora: banshee lets me copy music but its not there when I eject the device
[09:44] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: cool, how do I do that? I installed mandriva first then ubuntu, by the way
[09:45] <JohnRobert> is there a way to turn off screen's keyboard shortcuts?
[09:45] <Spee_Der> Bye folks, time for work.....
[09:45] <grigora> pau1: are you synchronizing the Ipod and using the "sync with library option"? (vs the save manual changes)
[09:45] <pau1> is there a way to get the iPod to work without the whole database system?
[09:45] <Kirrus> Found it, the dhcp logs on an edgy system are in syslog.
[09:45] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: with a text editor open the menu.lst file (not sure where mandriva puts it maybe /boot/grub/menu.lst) and add the stanza..
[09:45] <pau1> grigora: no... I did with the manual settings
[09:46] <UberDay> erUSUL is deborphan command line or graphical
[09:46] <erUSUL> UberDay: is cli it list the unused packages
[09:46] <grigora> pau1: not sure what that does ... maybe syncs the ipod with the pc using the ipod as the source
[09:46] <pau1> grigora: should I sync the library?
[09:46] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: stanza?
[09:46] <UberDay> well i downloaded it and installed it cant find it
[09:47] <toby> bryan5482: got any answer so far?
[09:47] <pau1> grigora: I am doing the syncing with the library and now its saying Waiting for transcoder
[09:48] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52873/ <<<--- that's what i have in my menu.lst for the default gutsy kernel
[09:48] <bryan5482> toby: no
[09:48] <bryan5482> toby: can you help me please ?
[09:48] <grigora> pau1: maybe your files are not in MP3?
[09:48] <ambhr> hello everyone, does someone know any answer for partitioning problems because of Ubuntu doesn't recog the other OS
[09:48] <toby> bryan5482: you can keep your data as long as they do not exceed 250 GB (in case of 50/50 split)
[09:48] <Cs2excalibur> K this is pretty boring and sleep I'm out
[09:48] <grigora> pau1: so it has to convert them to mp3 before it can put them on the iPod
[09:49] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: you need to adapt it to your instalation the locale and the most important the uuid and the root lines
[09:49] <Cs2excalibur> Go Ron Paul 2008!!!
[09:49] <pau1> grigora: argh.... it seems there are files on the iPod
[09:49] <bryan5482> toby: ok, how i can create the new partition ? does i need special software ?
[09:50] <toby> bryan5482: the ubuntu-installer should do this automatically, i.e. ask you how to shrink the existing partition
[09:50] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: so basically, copy what you have in your menu.lst to mine, and then I'm good to go?
[09:50] <Giulia_71> ciao
[09:50] <g-e> hey people! is it possible to activate some kind of hardware-acceleration for the vga-card in ubuntu? i have the feeling that graphics are a bit slow on my machine (2d).
[09:50] <bryan5482> toby: does ubuntu have software like partition magic on windows systems ?
[09:50] <dr_> k word thank u white hat anonamys person !!!!  much love i can login and i have security intsructions in a txt on my desktp  MUCH LOVE!!!
[09:50] <AdvoWork> how can i find out what ftp server/software is running on my ubuntu machine?
[09:51] <AdvoWork> it doesnt seem to be ftpd
[09:51] <Starnestommy> bryan5482: no, but it has cfdisk, gparted, and qtparted.  The last 2 are graphical
[09:51] <toby> bryan5482: yes, however it's embedded into the installier
[09:51] <toby> bryan5482: did you ever try to run the installer from the live-cd?
[09:51] <Kirrus> AdvoWork, there is normally no ftp server/software installed by default
[09:52] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: no you need to change the root line ( root (hd0,1) ) becouse you may hve your root partition in a different parttition than me and you have to change the UUID=something becouse the something is surely different in your installation
[09:52] <ubuntu_os> necesito ayuda
[09:52] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: also change the locale=es_ES to your locale

[09:52] <ambhr> toby: if I run the installer on a win system, is there a way to see the win partitions
[09:53] <AdvoWork> Kirrus any ideas how I can find what its called though?
[09:53] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: ??
[09:53] <Kirrus> AdvoWork, its not installed. If you want one to be installed, you need to install it
[09:53] <toby> bryan5482: you only want to resize/split a partition witbout installing Ubuntu?
[09:54] <chazco> Hi... my USB keyboard doesnt always work when Ubuntu starts... it will start working if moved to a different USB card (regardless of which one it was on)... using some scripting I managed to get a dmesg output which shows that it is correctly detected... any ideas on fixing this?
[09:54] <toby> ambhr: what exactly do you want to do?
[09:54] <AdvoWork> Kirrus but if im able to ftp to my server then surely something must already be running on it?
[09:54] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: i have my grub instaled in the second partition of my first hd so for me root is (hd0,1) but for you is maybe/surely something different
[09:54] <ambhr> I want to install a second OS ubuntu to my laptop but without loosing all the other datas.
[09:55] <Cin> i have reason to suspect that my sound card is causing my pc to crash. how can i go about disabling all sound modules?
[09:55] <dr_> Now i have to resotre my cpanel from 4 and . galf hour ago muxh love !!
[09:55] <Kirrus> AdvoWork, you didn't say that you could already get in ;) What version of Ubuntu are you running, and how did you setup the server
[09:55] <toby> ambhr: I suggest running the installer from the live-cd which has an easy-to-use graphical partition-editor
[09:55] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: also the root partition of ubuntu in my comp has the UUID i posted but in yous computer is *surely* different. You have to find which values apply to your instalation
[09:55] <ambhr> toby: but I can only see the first partition of my disk but there are more
[09:55] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: so there's no easy way out of it?
[09:55] <toby> ambhr: did you try to use manual mode?
[09:55] <brandon> arthurarchnix
[09:56] <brandon> i think i found something interesting
[09:56] <ambhr> toby: yes I can't see all the NTSC partitions
[09:56] <Cin> how can i ensure that my sound card is never used?
[09:56] <Cin> (it's on board, so i can't remove it)
[09:57] <toby> ambhr: NTSC?
[09:57] <ambhr> toby: eaven if i free some parts in win there is no change.
[09:57] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: to find your uuid use «blkid» on a terminal and (hd0,1) is the first disk (the 0) second partition (the 1) ; they start counting at index 0
[09:57] <Starnestommy> toby: NTFS, probably
[09:57] <ambhr> that is the format of the partitions for Windows
[09:57] <ArthurArchnix> brandon Yeah?
[09:57] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: and yes there is no other method of doing it
[09:57] <AdvoWork> Kirrus its a dedicated server, so was already setup for us. and its version: Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
[09:57] <ambhr> toby: sorry
[09:57] <brandon> when i use alsamixer command in the terminal, it says at the top alsa 1.0.14, not alsa 1.0.15, any ideas arthurarchnix?
[09:57] <toby> toby: ok, I know NTFS  ;)
[09:57] <dr_> ntfs  got me in shit
[09:58] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: maybe I should reinstall mandriva?

[09:58] <dr_> we have a 27 characher lohgon
[09:58] <mint2> i get uid 1000 with my external on dolphin
[09:58] <mint2> can anyone help
[09:58] <ArthurArchnix> brandon Yeah. Sounds like you didn't install the latest drivers correctly.
[09:58] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: why?
[09:58] <toby> ambhr: you could try to install and run qtparted
[09:58] <g-e> hey people! is it possible to activate some kind of hardware-acceleration for the vga-card in ubuntu? i have the feeling that graphics are a bit slow on my machine (2d).
[09:58] <toby> ambhr: it's quite easy to use
[09:58] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: so I could use their grub?
[09:58] <brandon> ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! cant be, crimsun told me step by step what to do
[09:58] <Dr_willis> mint2,  i resorted to just making a proper fstab entry for my external usb ntfs drive.
[09:58] <ArthurArchnix> brandon Wait... no never mind. That's just the alsamixer version
[09:58] <erUSUL> g-e: what vga-cvard do you have?
[09:58] <brandon> oh
[09:59] <ambhr> toby: sorry i dont know about qtparted
[09:59] <mint2> Dr_willis:  how did u proceed
[09:59] <g-e> erUSUL: lspci says this:
[09:59] <ubuntu_os> any know the funtion tor-resolve?
[09:59] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: i thought you were using mandriva grub
[09:59] <g-e> erUSUL: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
[09:59] <mrcrinkle> Hi, can someone help to install driver for video radeon 7000?
[09:59] <ambhr> toby: it is the first time that i do something again with unix since years
[09:59] <toby> ambhr: you can easy install it using synaptic or things like that
[09:59] <Kirrus> AdvoWork, I assume you're not new to the CLI? Try generating a list of installed packages, then search them for the word "ftp". Try this: "dpkg --get-selections > apps", then "vi apps", then "/ftp"

[09:59] <ubotu> mrcrinkle: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:00] <mint2> Dr_willis: how do u create a table in fstab
[10:00] <mrcrinkle> !ati
[10:00] <brandon> well, i will have to wait and see crimsun again then
[10:00] <Dr_willis> mint2,  i edited the /etc/fstab file
[10:00] <brandon> or MirJa
[10:00] <erUSUL> g-e: for sis you have to use the provided drivers afaik
[10:00] <Dr_willis>  added a line similer to ---->   /dev/sdb1      /media/minihd ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
[10:00] <Dr_willis> sdb1 was my external ntfs disk
[10:01] <ambhr> toby: where do i found mor info about or the downloads
[10:01] <g-e> erUSUL: how?
[10:01] <mrcrinkle> erUSUL: I type !ati but no answer
[10:01] <sofiankrt> 'erUSUL: no, I'm actually using the ubuntu grub, but I'm hating it
[10:01] <toby> ambhr: apt-get install qtparted should do the job
[10:01] <brandon> its way late here, ill see you around arthurarchnix
[10:01] <brandon> adios

[10:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:01] <dr_> i think i      learned something important
[10:02] <dr_> thanks  whoever glitched me
[10:02] <AdvoWork> Kirrus theres ftp,  pure-ftp, and pure-ftp-common
[10:02] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: no, I'm actually using the ubuntu grub, but I'm hating it
[10:02] <g-e> erUSUL: what do you mean with "use the provided drivers" ?
[10:03] <dr_> bye need too fix cpanel these evil are leaking from me
[10:03] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: so you wanted to boot mandriva with the ubuntu grub and not the other way around???
[10:03] <Kirrus> AdvoWork, ftp is the base client (installed by default), so pure-ftp is the server.
[10:03] <ambhr> toby: is apt-get install qtparted reachable from the Diskos or do I ve to load down some more
[10:03] <Kirrus> !info pure-ftp | AdvoWork
[10:03] <ubotu> advowork: Package pure-ftp does not exist in gutsy
[10:03] <toby> ambhr: it's a command you have to run in a root-shell...
[10:04] <Starnestommy> or prefix it with sudo
[10:04] <Kirrus> AdvoWork, sorry, annoying bot.. more info: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/net/pure-ftpd
[10:04] <ambhr> toby thanks - how do I get the commandline in that Disk driven Ubunto.
[10:05] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: no, I use 3 operating systems, and I want to use the mandriva grub, I'm currently using the ubuntu grub, and I don't like it
[10:05] <ambhr> do i need to know any main passwd fur su
[10:05] <Starnestommy> su needs the root password
[10:05] <toby> ambhr: it's your user-password
[10:05] <Starnestommy> sudo needs your regular one
[10:05] <toby> and you need to run "sudo su"
[10:06] <TylerJGillies> su = switch user, so whatever user's password you wanna use
[10:06] <erUSUL> sofiankrt: you will have to ask on a mandriva channel i guess
[10:07] <ambhr> toby: how do i get the passwd by driving the disk driven Ubunto and where i get a commandline Window like xterm.
[10:07] <erUSUL> toby: to get a rrot shell use «sudo -i»
[10:07] <toby> ambhr: take a look at the menu
[10:08] <sofiankrt> erUSUL: ok, thank you very much. bye
[10:08] <ambhr> toby: ok try will need some time to get back in because all the network info isn't on the disk
[10:08] <Kirrus> AdvoWork, does that answer your question?
[10:09] <dr_> su = switch user, so whatever user's password you wanna use
[10:09] <dr_> do it
[10:09] <Bilbo> is anyone familiar with the kubuntu quick install for linux MCE?

[10:29] <sanjivv2> on my machine.. Dell Inspiron 1501 notebook.. i have installed Ubuntu Gutsy.. 64-bit.. and all of a sudden a few days back.. there was a problem with HAL not starting up.. the battery indicator on the panel shows its running on AC power and does not show a battery indicator.. however once i log into the system.. i try to start HAL and it tells me that it is already running.. moreover.. when i restart HAL.. the battery indicator shows up with the charging 
[10:30] <toby> sanjivv2: probably after dist-upgrade?
[10:30] <sanjivv2> can someone tell me what the issue is.. once i tried to suspend the machine and it failed.. and whn i restarted it.. it was showing verbose messages where it said that hal cannot be started because dbus has not started yet.. but dbus had been started..
[10:30] <pradeepvglughyd> anyone has a solution running Ubuntu 7.10 with Compiz Fusion on AMD 690G chipset(it has ATI Radeon X1200 graphics)
[10:30] <sanjivv2> nope.. no upgrade whatsoever.. it is a clean install..
[10:30] <sanjivv2> and it has been running perfectly for the past 2 months or so..
[10:30] <toby> can you do a "/etc/init.d/dbus restart"?
[10:31] <sanjivv2> ok.. one sec.. let me do that..
[10:31] <sanjivv2> done.. now?
[10:31] <toby> this should also restart hal
[10:31] <sanjivv2> yeah..
[10:32] <sanjivv2> it does..
[10:32] <toby> however, the battery-applet needs a restart too, after restarting hal..

[10:35] <sanjivv2> i didnt do anything that would cause it to stop all of a sudden..
[10:35] <humblerodent> Meh, never mind, it works if I use Xine instead.
[10:35] <humblerodent> :P
[10:35] <toby> sanjivv2: strange - already taken a look at launchpad/bugs ?
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> chris___, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:35] <sanjivv2> yeah.. nothing seems to help..
[10:36] <tommy_> i've got a minor issue, however, that i don't think should be happening. my laptop needs acer-acpi, and i've followed the instructions at http://code.google.com/p/acer-acpi-deb/ verbatim (including the key stuff). however, apt-get still complains with "WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!"
[10:36] <chris___> ActionParsnip, what does that do?
[10:36] <sanjivv2> toby: any ideas?
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> chris___, downloads all the latest updates for your system
[10:37] <chris___> ActionParsnip, I think I've done that ( I am upto date).
[10:37] <toby> tommy_: that's no problem
[10:37] <sanjivv2> any idead?
[10:37] <sanjivv2> ideas?
[10:37] <toby> sanjivv2: no :(
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> chris___, i'd check just to make sure
[10:37] <chris___> ActionParsnip ok.
[10:37] <sanjivv2> ok..
[10:37] <chris___> ActionParsnip are you a bot or a person?
[10:37] <toby> except a cron-script which restarts hal every 5 minutes :D
[10:37] <tommy_> toby, i know i can still proceed and ignore the error, but i don't think the error should be happening. right?
[10:37] <sanjivv2> do you know anyone who can help?
[10:38] <pradeepvglughyd> how do i install ubuntu 7.10 in vesa mode , with generic video drivers
[10:38] <toby> tommy_: it's no error, just a warning because you didn't import the gpg-key from the repo
[10:38] <toby> tommy_: so the packages can't be authenticated
[10:38] <dr_> -my wife just wnt to work shes' happy
[10:38] <sanjivv2> anyone has issue with hal not starting up?
[10:38] <tommy_> toby, but i'm saying, i did import the key as it mentions in the instructions, and "apt-key list" now shows his key there too
[10:39] <tommy_> toby, what could cause this?
[10:39] <dr_> oh yea rules,  im from moscow
[10:39] <chris___> ActionParsnip that update gets stuck:

[10:39] <toby> tommy_: I dunno..
[10:41] <tommy_> toby, i guess i'll forge ahead ignoring the error then, seeing as i need this for wifi to work on my laptop. i just wondered how the system was still deciding that they package was unauthenticated

Dell Inspiron 1501 notebook.. i have installed Ubuntu Gutsy.. 64-bit.. and all of a sudden a few days back.. there was a problem with HAL not starting up.. the battery indicator on the panel shows its running on AC power and does not show a battery indicator.. however once i log into the system.. i try to start HAL and it tells me that it is already running.. moreover.. when i restart HAL.. the battery indicator shows up with the charging 
[10:47] <chris___> Dr_willis, does that mean that version of the kernel isn't available to me yet?
[10:47] <Dr_willis> chris___,  thats  what i am thinking. 2.6.26 must be fixing a few bugs.
[10:48] <Dr_willis> So it may get updated some time in Ubuntu. But im not sure how often they do actual kernel updates.
[10:48] <chris___> Dr_willis, does ubuntu lag behind kernel versions for long, usually? I notice there's a new version of ubuntu available for me to get, but that fails, I think that failure is a known amd 64 issue.
[10:48] <LooSe> occasionally 7.10 has had 2 new kernels i think
[10:49] <dr_> ndiswapper works nice on 7.10
[10:49] <Dr_willis> chris___,  not sure. They tend to focus mainly on security updates.
[10:49] <Dr_willis> I was thinking theres been 2 kernel updates  since gutsy has came out.
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis, are you admin on this server?
[10:50] <chris___> Dr_willis thanks for your help, I think I might be stuck :-(
[10:50] <LooSe> id love to test it dr_ but noone has been nice enough to give me a wireless laptop and router
[10:51] <Belisarivs> Hi all.
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> hi Belisarivs
[10:51] <Belisarivs> I have problem with krorrent.
[10:51] <Aloha> !hi | Belisarivs
[10:51] <sanjivv2> on my machine.. Dell Inspiron 1501 notebook.. i have installed Ubuntu Gutsy.. 64-bit.. and all of a sudden a few days back.. there was a problem with HAL not starting up.. the battery indicator on the panel shows its running on AC power and does not show a battery indicator.. however once i log into the system.. i try to start HAL and it tells me that it is already running.. moreover.. when i restart HAL.. the battery indicator shows up with the charging 
[10:51] <ubotu> Belisarivs: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:51] <sanjivv2> someone please help..
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> !hi | Belisarivs
[10:52] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  nope.. I just have no social life.
[10:52] <Dr_willis> :)
[10:52] <tommy_> man, after being reminded of how fast and easy linux can be after over 5 years with gentoo's slow broken ass, if someone ever sees me on that again, feel free to punch me in the face, i've probably been body-snatched and won't feel it anyway
[10:52] <dr_> i have computer science degree in russian, i run a multi national corperations file and xtp transfer protocol
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis, i like your sense of humour dude :)
[10:52] <Dr_willis> I just got moved to 3rd shift last week.. so about now is my lunch time.. argh. :)
[10:52] <Belisarivs> It allocates full space for downloads eve though I disabled this feature. An it also is very unstable.
[10:53] <Dr_willis> Belisarivs,  ive  not noticed it being that unstable :) lately at least.
[10:53] <Dr_willis> as for the full space. Ive not tried that setting. You may want to check in #kubuntu.  or the Kubuntu forums  It may be that setting is only used on starting up the program.
[10:53] <Belisarivs> I'll provide bugreport, but I'd like ask whether would someone help me to search relevant data (backtrace, gdb) so I can fill report
[10:54]  * ActionParsnip can't  get on #kubuntu due to ban for sayin afk/back :(
[10:55] <LimCore> ActionParsnip: lol?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> LimCore, sucks hard :(
[10:56] <sanjivv2> someone willing to help me with a small issue?

[11:08] <sybariten> anyone running ubuntu live from USB memory and familiar with the so called ICEauthority issue?

[11:11] <Flannel> sybariten: delete the ICEauthority file in your homedir, and don't use sudo on graphical programs anymore (use gksu)
[11:11] <sybariten> Flannel: OK? interesting... will try your tip... thanks!  best way to get to a point where i can delete the ICEauthority file?
[11:12] <sybariten> (as i am in a loop now, gnome wont start and goes back to the error every time it tries to log in)
[11:12] <Flannel> sybariten: ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a tty, its in your homedir (and its actually .ICEauthority)
[11:12] <Aloha> sybariten: just use xfce ;)
[11:12] <Flannel> sybariten: you'll need to sudo to delete it
[11:13] <sybariten> Flannel: ok thanks
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> sybariten, you could boot to your cd in the live environment. Mount and delete the file from there as well as tty as Flannel says
[11:13] <sybariten> Aloha: hm, i would.. but i think this live "install" is set up to use gnome
[11:13] <Aloha> oh its live install
[11:13] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: If he was going to reboot, he might as well just use the recovery console
[11:13] <sybariten> i'm at work and dont actually have the CD with me, just the USB memory
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Flannel, just another option :)
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> Flannel, apparently not :)

[11:14] <Javid> that sure is a useful macro
[11:15] <sybariten> i did not need sudo to move the file Flannel .... moved it to the Videos dir
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> Javid, there are LOADS
[11:15] <Javid> yes I know
[11:15] <Chinaski1> is it possible to add some extra features to nautilus information sidebar? like selection info and other useful things.the default sidebar shows only the folder currently opened
[11:15] <Javid> they seem to make a great substitute for actually helping people

[11:16] <sucramuk> HI all, new to linux, intend to install ubuntu 7.10 on a dual boot with XP, is it neccesary to make a FAT 32 partition on drive now, or can ubuntu 7.10 read/write NTFS drives?
[11:16] <Flannel> sybariten: didn't need to reboot, (ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to the GUI) but oh well

[11:17] <Phildo> heyas - i'm having a bit of trouble using the downloaded nvidia driver in gutsy - is there any trick to it?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> ikonia, ok cool
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> ikonia, are you admin?
[11:17] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: no
[11:17] <blayde> sucramuk, gutsy can handle ntfs just fine
[11:17] <ikonia> Phildo: what's up ?
[11:17] <LooSe> magicians learn "tricks" you want to learn a skill :P
[11:17] <Phildo> hrm
[11:17] <sucramuk> cool thanks blade
[11:17] <Phildo> well, i just loaded xorg with vesa no drama
[11:18] <sucramuk> i mean blayde
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> ikonia, ok cheers :D
[11:18] <ikonia> Phildo: ok, thats a good start.
[11:18] <Phildo> ikonia: then turned on the 'restricted driver' thing..
[11:18] <ikonia> Phildo: what part are you having an issue with ?
[11:18] <sucramuk> can xp see the linux partion tho?
[11:18] <Phildo> which loaded nvidia-glx-new i guess
[11:18] <ikonia> sucramuk: shouldn't be able to unless you use a 3rd party driver
[11:19] <Phildo> and now i'm getting the failed to initialize the glx module error in xorg.0.log
[11:19] <ikonia> sucramuk: I'd advise against it
[11:19] <ikonia> Phildo: what video card do you have ?
[11:19] <blayde> sucramuk, the partition will show in the 'partition manager' as unknown though
[11:19] <Phildo> 7300GT
[11:19] <ikonia> Phildo: and now xorg has "nvidia" as the driver ?
[11:19] <Phildo> let me double check..
[11:19] <ikonia> Phildo: and the nvida module is loaded in "lsmod"
[11:19] <ikonia> Phildo: check both
[11:20] <sucramuk> ok,i think i'll bias the size of my partition towards xp for the mo, to see how i get on
[11:20] <Phildo> xorg is being told to use it, and the module is not loaded
[11:20] <sucramuk> 10gig be adequate for 7.10?
[11:20] <ikonia> Phildo: which module, the kernel module, yes ?
[11:20] <ikonia> sucramuk: should be fine as a learning too
[11:20] <Phildo> 'nvidia'
[11:20] <ikonia> tool
[11:20] <ikonia> Phildo: ahh modprobe it ?
[11:21] <Phildo> no such file or directory with 'modprobe nvidia'
[11:21] <sucramuk> ok, thanks ppl for the help, off to back up and install. CYA
[11:21] <ikonia> Phildo: oops thats worrying
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> Phildo, use sudo
[11:21] <ikonia> Phildo: you may need to reboot to pickup the new kernel (nvidia-glx) modules
[11:21] <sybariten> Flannel: oh ok... didnt know i could ctrl-alt-f7 ... well, i got the same error now
[11:21] <ikonia> Phildo: you shouldn't have to, but it has happened on occasion
[11:21] <danielke> server: irc.bungie.org
[11:21] <Phildo> ikonia: i just did reboot..
[11:21] <danielke> jaja
[11:21] <ikonia> Phildo: ooh, thats interesting
[11:21] <ikonia> Phildo: dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[11:22] <ikonia> Phildo: can you pastebin the output of that please.
[11:22] <Phildo> hmmmmm yep ok

[11:24] <ikonia> Phildo: that looks spot on
[11:24] <ikonia> Phildo: and uname -a shows the correct kernel ?
[11:24] <ann_> what do you mean??????????????????/
[11:24] <Phildo> 2.6.22-14-generic
[11:24] <bazhang> ann_: wrong channel for that

[11:25] <bazhang> ann_: this is not a chat channel
[11:25] <ann_> ah................ ook thnx
[11:26] <ikonia> ann_: this channel is to request support for the ubuntu operating system only, not general chant
[11:26] <ikonia> chat
[11:26] <Phildo> ikonia: ie. yes i think so :)
[11:26] <ikonia> Phildo: yup, looks good
[11:26] <ikonia> Phildo: so when you modprobe "sudo modprobe nvidia" it crys that there is no module ?
[11:26] <Phildo> correct
[11:26] <ikonia> Phildo: lets look if the module is there
[11:26] <ann_> ok i ask you how to apply ubuntu you mean
[11:27] <ikonia> ann_: you want to know how to install ubuntu ?
[11:27] <bazhang> if you have an issue with an ubuntu install then yes ann_
[11:27] <ann_> yap
[11:27] <ann_> ok

[11:27] <ubotu> i iz so bored of lolcats. speek english!
[11:27] <nelias> After upgrading to gutsy I get a kernel panick vfs: unable to mount root fs error. I had read that sometimes the initrd line is missing in the menu.lst. but mine is here. any ideas?
[11:27] <ikonia> ann_: you download the install CD disk from http://www.ubuntu.com and boot your PC from that CD rom.
[11:27] <Phildo> ahhh.. ikonia its looking in 2.6.22-14-generic/nvidia/nvidia.ko - there exists one in 2.6.22-13-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia
[11:28] <Frostydecide> I'm having some trouble with codec in totem. Ubuntu automatically installed the gstreamer codecs and they worked fine untill I decided to install VLC and some other players. Now Totem is complaining it doesnt have the codecs to play x-vid and Div-x. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
[11:28] <Phildo> ikonia: should i just copy the ko file to where modprobe is looking?
[11:28] <ikonia> Phildo: thats very odd
[11:28] <ikonia> Phildo: I don't quite see why it is in 22-13 ?
[11:28] <Phildo> er
[11:28] <Phildo> 14
[11:28] <Phildo> sorry
[11:28] <Phildo> :>
[11:28] <Phildo> typo
[11:28] <FloodBot3> Phildo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:29] <Phildo> o_O
[11:29] <ikonia> Phildo: can you re-phrase that with the correct directories just so I'm clear please.
[11:29] <Phildo> modprobe is looking for 2.6.22-14-generic/nvidia/nvidia.ko
[11:29] <Phildo> (doesnt exist)
[11:30] <Phildo> however one exists at 2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
[11:30] <ikonia> Phildo: where is the module ?
[11:30] <ikonia> Phildo: ooh I see, thats very odd
[11:30] <ikonia> Phildo: dirty hack is to copy it
[11:30] <Phildo> i was assing around with a downloaded nvidia driver, could have been made then.
[11:30] <nelias> Did anyone else have kernel panicks after upgrading to gutsy?
[11:30] <ikonia> Phildo: yes, you've proably corrupted it now
[11:30] <Phildo> nah, i mean before
[11:30] <ikonia> Phildo: before what ?
[11:31] <Phildo> before i loaded vesa, and then did it the ubuntu way..
[11:31] <ikonia> Phildo: downloading the drivers from nvidia.com changes the module path
[11:31] <Phildo> ahhh
[11:31] <Phildo> where is the module path configured..
[11:31] <ikonia> Phildo: the nvidia kernel interface changes it
[11:31] <ikonia> Phildo: what I would do is remove the nvidia.com modules
[11:32] <ikonia> apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx-new
[11:32] <ikonia> reboot make sure your kernel is fine
[11:32] <ikonia> then re-apply nvidia-glx-new
[11:32] <ikonia> follow ?
[11:32] <Phildo> yep, doing now
[11:32] <ikonia> Phildo: mega.

[11:35] <Phildo> yes, its loading nvidia
[11:35] <ikonia> Phildo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - change it to vesa , then re-do tht back to nvidia AFTER you've re-applied nvidia-glx-new

[11:48] <ingofreyer> HI, anyone some time for me? I get a pretty strange behaviour of Ubuntu when trying  to get my USB-IR-Receiver of my Technotrend Skystar2 to work. It is recognized and mapped to a /dev/input/eventX-Device, when plugged in, but if I restart Ubuntu, it is gone. I have to unplug and replug it to use ist again. I am building a mediacenter-box which should work standalone, and only controlled via...
[11:48] <ingofreyer> ...remote control. It replaces my old video recorder. So I need to get this IR-Receiver working.
[11:49] <majikins> hi - pls can someone help me with the patch command?
[11:49] <orlandoj> hi ! I try to install apache2 (apt-get install apache ). It install, but cannot start. It works with the package apache ( the apache 1.3 ). Someone take this trouble ?
[11:50] <orlandoj> I try to install apache2 (apt-get install apache2 ).
[11:50] <ingofreyer> @majikins: save your patch to a file and use the following syntax: "patch <oldfile> <patchfile>" at terminal
[11:51] <majikins> I've googled a solution which gives a procedure to patch initramfs-tools
[11:51] <majikins> its says : patch -b -p0 /tmp/failed-raid.patch
[11:51] <majikins> ahhh
[11:51] <majikins> so the instruction is wrong as it does not specify which file to patch?
[11:52] <ingofreyer> I think so.
[11:52] <simmerz> Joe_: it would be nice, but is it likely, and how can I ask package maintainers?
[11:52] <ingofreyer> I got the patch syntax by typing "man patch" in terminal
[11:52] <majikins> ok - now I got to figure out which file has to be patched
[11:52] <majikins> bugger - should have done the same too
[11:52] <majikins> thanks
[11:53] <ingofreyer> but it may be right, as your manual says. but are you sure, your patchfile works?
[11:53] <ingofreyer> works as in: is in a correct syntax?
[11:53] <majikins> i don't know - following instructions
[11:53] <majikins> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=507074
[11:54] <majikins> could you have a look and tell me what you think?
[11:54] <SleepingSloth> okay, quick , and possibly silly question - if you ran glxgears, and under normal conditions got somewhere around 5500 frames per second from it, what would you expect to get from it when cpuburn is running?
[11:55] <majikins> when give the instruction to patch, keep on working - does not drop to command line
[11:55] <majikins> have to ctrl-c to get back
[11:55] <Agent_bob> is this right ? "Ubuntu provides users with a way to deploy Debian" <<< ?   http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship
[11:56] <ingofreyer> majikins:you do not need to give a original file to patch, when your patchfile is made for multiople files. how long did you wait until you ctrl-c'd?
[11:56] <SleepingSloth> Agent_bob, ubuntu is a debian derivative
[11:56] <majikins> about 10 mins
[11:56] <Agent_bob> SleepingSloth isn't that saying that if you install ubuntu you have installed debian ?
[11:57] <kbrooks> Agent_bob, no
[11:57] <_ruben> Agent_bob: ubuntu = debian plus extras
[11:58] <Agent_bob> kbrooks am i just unable to read the page accurately then ?  http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationshi
[11:58] <Agent_bob> p
[11:58] <majikins> should I give it more time?
[11:58] <majikins> I assumed something was wrong when it took so long
[11:58] <kbrooks> Agent_bob, "Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process."
[11:58] <ingofreyer> no, the time is long enough
[11:59] <majikins> but how do you conclude that the patch is for multiple files?
[11:59] <Agent_bob> kbrooks i'm not dealing with fact, i'm dealing with the official page, and what it does say.    maybe the page should be edited ?
[11:59] <ingofreyer> you are sure, the patchfile was in the right place (/tmp) and was made readable/executable (whatever it needs, for a patchfile, I am not that experienced in that way...) to be used?
[12:00] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=student.pdf student training pdf for ubuntu
[12:00] <Javid> I have a package that didn't install all the way that seems stuck in apt, and it keeps trying to reinstall and giving me errors every time I do anything with apt, how do I get rid of it?
[12:00] <ingofreyer> and you surely have used root-rights, don't you?
[12:00] <kbrooks> Agent_bob, i have no idea, i am not canonical. ask them yourself
[12:00] <Agent_bob> ok.
[12:00] <majikins> yes sudo su to root
[12:00] <Agent_bob> majikins or sudo -i
[12:01] <majikins> but did not think to look at rights of file
[12:01] <ingofreyer> majikins: and the patchfie was in the right position?
[12:01] <majikins> however if you are root that does not matter right?
[12:01] <ingofreyer> then try this, I will read the patchfile while you do.
[12:01] <majikins> hold on
[12:01] <majikins> reboot server
[12:03] <majikins> I'm sure it is - following instructions to go to usr/share/initramfs-tools and execute the command
[12:03] <ingofreyer> okay, I read the file. It looks good and I have no idea, what could be the problem. Maybe another one in this channel should look at it. sorry, majikins
[12:04] <majikins> ok
[12:04] <majikins> thanks for responding!
[12:04] <ingofreyer> no problem. I think, I will have to repeat my problem:
[12:04] <ingofreyer> HI, anyone some time for me? I get a pretty strange behaviour of Ubuntu when trying to get my USB-IR-Receiver of my Technotrend Skystar2 to work. It is recognized and mapped to a /dev/input/eventX-Device, when plugged in, but if I restart Ubuntu, it is gone. I have to unplug and replug it to use ist again.

[12:57] <asdswqefwqef> ikonia,
[12:57] <xomp> would anyone know the termial syntax for editing a file as root? I need to make some changes on my xorg stuff and can't figure out the terminal syntax lol
[12:57] <asdswqefwqef> yash how do i click menu while watching dvd
[12:57] <ikonia> asdswqefwqef: what ?
[12:57] <bullgard4> elkbuntu: Thank you very much.
[12:57] <ikonia> asdswqefwqef: click the menu on the screen with your mouth
[12:57] <asdswqefwqef> yesterday i watch a dvd but i cannot click menu
[12:57] <asdswqefwqef> how can i solve this problem
[12:57] <ikonia> mouth ??? sorry mouse
[12:57] <asdswqefwqef> hmm
[12:57] <ikonia> asdswqefwqef: try another DVD to see if you can click the menu's in the other dvd's
[12:57] <asdswqefwqef> i cannot click
[12:57] <asdswqefwqef> with mous :D
[12:57] <temhawk> question...
[12:57] <temhawk> what are the chances that all my data will be lost if ubuntu installation fails?
[12:57] <ikonia> xomp: if you can't work out "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" you should not be editing core system files
[12:57] <ganesh> i installed ubiquity & created a live cd but it is not installing from that cd , help me to resolve my problem
[12:57] <ikonia> temhawk: depends on the status of the partitioning
[12:57] <Whitman> xomp, sudo nano <file>
[12:58] <temhawk> i have a mac mini, intel
[12:58] <Zeroclo> ciao
[12:58] <ikonia> temhawk: again, depends on the completion of the parttioning
[12:58] <Daremonai> ere4si oki thanks.. but i won't have vlc for windows, i'll just use it on my ubuntu pc
[12:58] <CrazyWulf> Ok I'm having major problems installing ubuntu onto my laptop.   The first disc I burned it would freeze up on the "loading linux kernel" message..   The second disc it would get passed that, but isn't loading correctly at all (also giving a bunch of buffer i/o errors).    Both discs work flawlessly on my desktop.
[12:58] <mojo> xomp, prefix the command with sudo (super-user do) to execute the commands with root priveledges.  you will be asked for your own password, btw
[12:58] <temhawk> should i install ubuntu without backing up my disk?
[12:58] <ikonia> Gnea: we don't support creating livecd's
[12:58] <|Stevie|> whats the better method to undervolt a turion, edit the dsdt, patch powernod, or a phc kernel?
[12:58] <ikonia> temhawk: your call
[12:58] <xomp> thanks guys, I do know what I'm doing with the xorg file :) Just couldn't remember the syntax
[12:59] <temhawk> ikonia: your call plz
[12:59] <ikonia> temhawk: no
[12:59] <ikonia> temhawk: always have a backup
[12:59] <temhawk> ikonia: but i don't have a backup disk
[12:59] <temhawk> either i install or not
[12:59] <ikonia> temhawk: then why are you asking if you should backup if you can't ?
[12:59] <temhawk> if i should back up = i wont install
[12:59] <xomp> thanks ikonia, Whitman & mojo :) Got it now. BRB restarting X :)
[12:59] <ikonia> temhawk: thats up to you depending on how much you value your data
[13:00] <temhawk> my data is worth a whole new computer alltogether
[13:00] <Kungen354646> doesnt any1 know what do do about the bug " Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings"??
[13:00] <ere4si> CrazyWulf, are you burning the disk at a slow speed?
[13:00] <ikonia> temhawk: ???? I suspect you are trolling. There is a risk that if the install fails you will lose data, how much you value that data is the risk YOU must decide upon
[13:01] <CrazyWulf> The second disc I did at 4X
[13:01] <temhawk> ikonia: is there no safe install method?
[13:01] <|Stevie|> any ideas?
[13:01] <ikonia> temhawk: no more/less than a mac OS X or windows install method
[13:01] <temhawk> aha
[13:01] <temhawk> i thought there is a Live CD
[13:01] <ikonia> temhawk: there is
[13:01] <temhawk> i don't got it though
[13:01] <ikonia> temhawk: but thats not "installing ubuntu"
[13:01] <temhawk> i know
[13:02] <ikonia> temhawk: you can use the live cd as a live CD without risk
[13:02] <temhawk> i just want to try it out
[13:02] <xomp> ok, so can anyone help  me restore my panel or start menu thingy in Gnome? LOL I removed them all because I was going to go with AWN as a replacement but it's not what I hoped for. If I could restore that stuff to before I screwed around with them that would rock :D
[13:02] <bazhang> temhawk: asked and answered--or buy a usb key they are cheap nowadays
[13:02] <ikonia> temhawk: then your question is "can I use a livecd without risk"
[13:02] <temhawk> i only have 1 CD though
[13:02] <temhawk> is it live or install or both?
[13:02] <spark_> both
[13:02] <ikonia> temhawk: it's a livecd that you can then choose to install
[13:02] <temhawk> wouldn't it require a ton of RAM?
[13:02] <temhawk> i see
[13:02] <ikonia> temhawk: 256 ram to run
[13:03] <temhawk> ok, i have 1g
[13:03] <temhawk> that's safe, right?
[13:03] <temhawk> i mean, to run
[13:03] <ikonia> safe ??
[13:03] <temhawk> files are absolutely safe
[13:03] <ikonia> you are using a livecd - it runs in ram - thats all
[13:03] <spark_> yipp it is
[13:03] <temhawk> good, like a game
[13:03] <ikonia> temhawk: files are safe unless you chose to delete them from your disk
[13:03] <ikonia> temhawk: files are as safe as the person controlling the livecd
[13:04] <bazhang> temhawk: perhaps some background reading would be suitable--care for a link or two?
[13:04] <temhawk> well, i just wanted to be sure, because on the internet it said that there is a simple install method that deletes all data
[13:04] <temhawk> sure, ikonia
[13:04] <temhawk> bazhang that is

[13:08] <bazhang> no worries temhawk
[13:08] <Kungen354646> because it says so with every startup
[13:09] <ikonia> Kungen354646: can you give the exact error please.
[13:09] <BotaniCar> hello world, i am trying to install 7.04 on a TV only box, setup recognises TV, sets 800x600 resolution , but my instalation menus are too big, cant see the bottom with "next" swiches .. any help ?
[13:10] <Slasher`> BotaniCar, press alt and click/drag the window up so you can see the next buttons, maybe?
[13:10] <Kungen354646> ikonia: hmm then i need to reboot ;P it just tries to load the graphical shell a couple of times and then gives up and goes into safe gfx mode
[13:10] <[XAP]Bob> BotaniCar Try Hitting return or Alt-N (I think Alt-N is teh right shortcut)
[13:10] <temhawk> help please: i inserted the ubuntu 7.10 disk, double-clicked the disk image on the desktop and how do i run it now?
[13:11] <ikonia> temhawk: - you have to boot from the cd
[13:11] <BotaniCar> Slasher`:that's how i did it, but i hoped for a solution to resize menu windows
[13:11] <temhawk> how do i do that on mac?
[13:11] <Slasher`> ah i have no idea then, sorr
[13:11] <Slasher`> y
[13:11] <pdenapo> Hi, in order to make the package grace, I've to recompiled several packages (lesstif,xmhtml) from the sorces. How may I tell apt-get/aptitude to keep my own compiled version and do no try to "upgrade" it to the version from the ubuntu repositories? (which has some missing symbol when linking!)
[13:11] <ikonia> temhawk: put the cd in , power off, power on and I think it's apple+c to boot from cdrom
[13:11] <temhawk> okay
[13:11] <ikonia> pdenapo: you can't
[13:11] <BotaniCar> [XAP]Bob:it is, untill  i get to disk formating part, cant click next there without some working b4 :)
[13:11] <temhawk> that will only RUN ubuntu, not install, right?
[13:11] <ikonia> pdenapo: apt won't know anything about your packages as they are nothing to do with it
[13:11] <ikonia> temhawk: correct
[13:12] <pdenapo> I don't understand, I've installed them with dpkg --install
[13:12] <temhawk> and once i shut down ubuntu, and i start my mac again, i wont have to press any shortcuts to boot into macintosh again?
[13:12] <ikonia> pdenapo: I'm not sure how dpkg --install will track dependencies
[13:12] <pdenapo> isn't it possible to configure it to ignore some upgrades?
[13:12] <ikonia> temhawk: correct
[13:13] <ikonia> pdenapo: you can ignore updates in general with apt-cache policy
[13:13] <temhawk> thanks, ikonia, i will get back here if i make it!
[13:13] <[XAP]Bob> Anyone up for some serious xorg furkling - my dual rotated widescreens are giving me a headache!
[13:13] <pdenapo> is there some documentation/how-to?
[13:14] <ikonia> pdenapo: man package for dpkg and apt-cache is a good base start
[13:14] <pdenapo> many thanks
[13:14] <temhawk> wait a second
[13:14] <temhawk> i got myself confused
[13:14] <temhawk> which disk do i use?
[13:14] <CrazyWulf> Ok I'm going to try to burn the Ubuntu disc one more time.   What's the absolute best method/application to do it with?  Xfburn?
[13:14] <temhawk> PS or 64-Bit PC?
[13:14] <temhawk> PC+
[13:14] <temhawk> i have latest intel mac^
[13:14] <ikonia> temhawk: is your mac 32 or 64 bit ?
[13:14] <ikonia> temhawk: just use 32bit
[13:15] <temhawk> thanks
[13:16] <bazhang> CrazyWulf: this is on windows? or ubuntu
[13:16] <CrazyWulf> Have Ubuntu running on my desktop
[13:16] <CrazyWulf> Would some Windows burning apps be better?
[13:17] <CrazyWulf> On Windows I tried with PowerISO and CloneCD..... both didn't run on my laptop correctly.
[13:17] <bazhang> CrazyWulf: right click on iso file open with cd/dvd creator
[13:17] <bazhang> on ubuntu CrazyWulf
[13:17] <CrazyWulf> Ok

[13:26] <pure`eigenVector> ikonia: agreed, I was just forced to install windows after ubuntu... and windows wouldn't let me install it since it wants to be on drive 1
[13:27] <pkundu> my System>Preferences>Session is being over written by last session. what shld I do
[13:27] <pure`eigenVector> ikonia: should I leave windows drive the primary drive and then boot to the ubuntu live cd and run grub to install it on the windows partition?
[13:27] <ikonia> pure`eigenVector: so in that case, I suggest you leave windows on primary disk, and ubuntu on seconday, and just install grub to the master boot sector of the first disk
[13:27] <ikonia> pure`eigenVector: thats it, you've got it. That's how I'd deal with it
[13:27] <temhawk> back, ikonia
[13:27] <customer24> hello
[13:27] <temhawk> it didn't work!
[13:28] <pure`eigenVector> ikonia: is there a good quick howto page for doing this in grub?

[13:28] <Zampaktu> Hi, sorry for this newbie question, but i am looking in my squid.conf for how i can allow images to be shown, i now have only text displayed.  any tips are welcome.
[13:28] <ikonia> temhawk: blue tooth keyboard / mouse /
[13:29] <temhawk> ikonia: i have wired mouse and wired keyboard
[13:29] <ikonia> temhawk: thats unusual
[13:29] <temhawk> latest apple keyboard + latest mighty mouse
[13:29] <ikonia> Zampaktu: thats an exceptionally unusual config. Use squid support forums for that
[13:30] <Pici> Zampaktu: Also check out #squid
[13:30] <customer24> I'd like to install Ubuntu but if I start the Setup my Monitor turns off.
[13:30] <ikonia> temhawk: I'm not familer with the latest apple keyboards/mouse
[13:30] <Zampaktu> ikonia: Thanks, i am now on #squid
[13:30] <temhawk> ikonia, i was just saying, maybe the latest ubuntu isn't compatible with it..
[13:31] <ikonia> temhawk: I don't know, I don't know enough about the latest mac keyboard/mice
[13:31] <bazhang> temhawk: you using bootcamp? leopard? what is the mac os you have on there
[13:31] <ikonia> temhawk: you may get a better response if you post on ubuntuforums
[13:31] <temhawk> do you think trying again might work, or is this something else?
[13:31] <ikonia> temhawk: I really couldn't say
[13:31] <temhawk> Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11, boot from CD (no bootcamp)
[13:32] <ikonia> the mac OS version is not important as your booting direct from the ubuntu cd
[13:32] <bazhang> temhawk: intel?
[13:32] <temhawk> intel
[13:32] <bazhang> temhawk: you may need to use bootcamp for that iirc
[13:32] <temhawk> iirc?
[13:33] <temhawk> if i remember correctly?
[13:33] <ikonia> bazhang: why would he need boot camp to boot the ubuntu cd ?
[13:33] <bazhang> temhawk: you may need to use bootcamp for that
[13:33] <bazhang> ikonia: not regular bios on new macs
[13:33] <temhawk> i though it isn't free download anymore
[13:33] <temhawk> i don't have bootcamp
[13:33] <ikonia> bazhang: that shouldn't stop the mouse/keyboard
[13:33] <ikonia> bazhang: my mac mini boots fine direct from the cdrom
[13:34] <bazhang> ikonia: my bad--you take care of temhawk
[13:34] <temhawk> i don't think you can help me, right?
[13:34] <ikonia> bazhang: oh no, not saying your wrong, I just don't understand why for the livecd
[13:34] <temhawk> if it doesn't work, it doesn't work
[13:35] <ikonia> temhawk: I would post a message on the ubuntu forums and query the latest mac mouse/keyboard
[13:35] <ikonia> temhawk: then a bigger audience can respond
[13:35] <bazhang> ikonia: just trying to get some info out of temhawk what seems to be routine he is having an awful lot of problems with
[13:35] <culturerevolt_> ikonia: i agree... that is odd, kb/mouse shouldnt have a problem...

[14:00] <temhawk> you might google for "Alienware windows theme"
[14:00] <n00br1c3> The thing is grub is ubuntu relatded and is somehow on my windows hard drive
[14:00] <Verifier> Jack_Sparrow: It's JeOS that i've installed. Yes this is strange, u got any ideas at all?
[14:00] <Pici> n00br1c3: You need to restore the MBR on your windows drive, the folks over in ##windows can help you do this.
[14:00] <Jack_Sparrow> n00br1c3: You need to fixmbr to get that going again..

[14:01] <ganesh> Jack_Sparrow, ubiquity tool is there in live cd , i am installing with that tool to harddisk but it is not able to detect the newly created partition
[14:01] <n00br1c3> i just need to completly remove grub from the windows hard drive
[14:01] <n00br1c3> if possible?
[14:02] <IdleOne> n00br1c3: if you do that then ubuntu wont boot
[14:02] <Pici> n00br1c3: Ask in ##windows how to use fixmbr, its a windows tool.
[14:02] <n00br1c3> i'm jsut trying to save the windows hard drive and not the linux hard drive so i am willing to ruin the linux HD
[14:03] <ganesh> Jack_Sparrow, its not like to creating a new version of live cd , i am intrested to create the cd myself
[14:03] <IdleOne> n00br1c3: ok then type /join ##windows and ask them how to fixmbr

[14:06] <Jack_Sparrow> ganesh: Please post a link to what you are trying to do or follow

[14:07] <mdales> simmerz: the mbr isn't part of the device image
[14:07] <simmerz> mdales: no
[14:07] <simmerz> it's a separate block
[14:08] <mdales> Jack_Sparrow: I think the /etc/fstab is set to do /dev/sda0 etc.
[14:08] <simmerz> or does dd do whole discs? I thought it only did partitions
[14:08] <mdales> simmerz: does the whole disk
[14:08] <mdales> afaict
[14:08] <simmerz> mdales: so it does
[14:08] <Jack_Sparrow> simmerz: Yes dd can do entire disks not jsut partitions
[14:08] <simmerz> assuming they have the same geometry though, iirc
[14:09] <mdales> basically I've ubuntified one apple tv
[14:09] <mdales> and I want to just dd the image to another
[14:09] <simmerz> i see
[14:09] <mdales> as the install process is slow
[14:09] <simmerz> likely then that the drives are the same?
[14:09] <mdales> yes
[14:09] <Jack_Sparrow> simmerz: increase the buffer size to 4k  that will help speed it up
[14:09] <simmerz> if they are, a dd will work fine

[14:17] <misslecommander> UBUNTUISLOVED: enable it in System/Administration/Network ? make sure the box is checked,
[14:17] <h1st0> phild0: just use the restricted manager and install it.
[14:17] <h1st0> !nvidia > phild0,   phild0 Read the private message from ubotu.
[14:17] <phild0> h1st0: yeah, the module doesnt seem to be appearing..
[14:18] <Rifleman_82> hi guys, i'm trying to install firefox 2.0
[14:18] <zth> i've got a kernelpatch, how do i apply it to the kernel? it's to make some USB stuff work
[14:18] <aquo> i had a look at /var/log/dpkg.log and many lines are printed multiple times? is this a bug?
[14:18] <UBUNTUISLOVED> misslecommander: thanks it is under roaming mode
[14:18] <Rifleman_82> unarchived the tarball, ran the firefox script but it says it doesn't work
[14:18] <Pici> Rifleman_82: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[14:18] <Tom47> h1st0: the stuff in apps nautilus desktop
[14:18] <Rifleman_82> 6.06 lts
[14:18] <h1st0> phild0: make sure you have the restricted repo enabled
[14:18] <misslecommander> UBUNTUISLOVED: roaming works for some people, but configure it to your router, you are prob better off
[14:19] <Rifleman_82> that's the second part. can i upgrade to 7.10 lts without losing all my settings?
[14:19] <wilhart> if i got amd64 should i then install ubuntu x64
[14:19] <phild0> h1st0: how do i make sure?
[14:19] <misslecommander> UBUNTUISLOVED: dont forget to save the Profile
[14:19] <Pici> Rifleman_82: 7.10 is not LTS.
[14:19] <UBUNTUISLOVED> misslecommander: well ive got a batch script too
[14:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Rifleman_82: Not directly.. no
[14:19] <h1st0> Tom47: well in there you can make your icons visible
[14:19] <UBUNTUISLOVED> which also is not working ive been using this for about 4 months
[14:19] <h1st0> phild0: System > administration > software sources
[14:19] <Rifleman_82> any reason why i should not stick with the version i have now?
[14:19] <Tom47> h1st0: ye they are all ticked
[14:19] <IdleOne> got an old machine here with 166mhz and 64mb ram will it be capable of running xubuntu? or should I just do a alternate install and simply go text based?
[14:20] <Pici> Rifleman_82: 8.04 LTS is planning to have support for directly upgrading from 6.06, but that wont be released until April.
[14:20] <UBUNTUISLOVED> once and a great while i get these wlink not ready errros and i dont know what its trying to do
[14:20] <Rifleman_82> pici: thanks
[14:20] <misslecommander> UBUNTUISLOVED: i have one, just in case. dont always work for me first time, so i run "batch" in terminal, works every time that way
[14:20] <luk3> hi guys what is the best programme to use for java development and included a way of creating a gui?
[14:20] <zth> i've got a kernelpatch, how do i apply it to the kernel? it's to make some USB stuff work. or where do i put usb-modules i want to replace?
[14:20] <phild0> h1st0: it is enabled.
[14:20] <h1st0> Tom47: alright also check apps > gnome > backgournd
[14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: That is a tough piece of hardware to get working right
[14:20] <UBUNTUISLOVED> misslecommander: yea it seems that the dhclient is not working?
[14:20] <Rifleman_82> pici: any ideas about firefox? i also need sun java runtime environment 6
[14:21] <Pici> !java > Rifleman_82 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[14:21] <h1st0> phild0: then the nvidia package is there.  What do you mean the module isn't?
[14:21] <willscarlet^^> what can voice chat with msn messenger please?   is there anything ??
[14:21] <[adw]> luk3: try netbeans, uses matisse for gui creation, witch i find very nice
[14:21] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow: it runs windows95 pretty smooth actualy.
[14:21] <misslecommander> UBUNTUISLOVED: mine does the same thing, i am working on it, almost got it so at boot, it works fully. have lockup problems so i dont mess with it so much
[14:21] <Tom47> h1st0: seem to have it back, i unchecked then re-checked show_desktop under preferences ... thanks for answering
[14:21] <Pici> Rifleman_82: Are you getting any errors when you try to install it? Can you pastebin them?
[14:21] <Rifleman_82> pici:thanks
[14:21] <h1st0> Tom47: np
[14:21] <phild0> h1st0: modprobe nvidia says no such file or directory
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: I may get flamed. but stick with that...
[14:21] <h1st0> Tom47: it was probably just a hiccup with gnome for a minute there.
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[14:21] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow: lol
[14:21] <h1st0> phild0: you have to install the restricted drivers
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> brb
[14:22] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow: even microsoft has stopped support
[14:22] <h1st0> phild0: system > administration > restricted drivers manager
[14:22] <phild0> h1st0: apt-get install nvidia-glx-new ?
[14:22] <UBUNTUISLOVED> misslecommander: do you run network manager?
[14:22] <luk3> adw: thanks i will give it a look
[14:22] <CrazyWulf> Hmm.....Ubuntu is acting *really* sluggish right now and my internet connection for it seems to be screwed up
[14:22] <CrazyWulf> What is causing this? :/
[14:22] <h1st0> CrazyWulf: its impossible to tell with out being there looking at your box.
[14:22] <UBUNTUISLOVED> misslecommander: look at these http://pastebin.org/16307
[14:22] <misslecommander> UBUNTUISLOVED: its installed but i dont have it starting in Services, it disappeared
[14:22] <nimzo> Ubuntu 7.10 on Macbook with Apple Remote working for volume: how to set back/forth to controle page up/down?
[14:22] <h1st0> CrazyWulf: check top and psaux
[14:22] <willscarlet^^> what do you guys use for voice chat ?
[14:22] <misslecommander> ok
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> CrazyWulf, what ping times do you get?
[14:23] <h1st0> willscarlet^^: my mount
[14:23] <h1st0> willscarlet^^: mouth
[14:23] <UBUNTUISLOVED> misslecommander: could they be fighting
[14:23] <phild0> h1st0: i just enabled it then for arguments sake
[14:23] <willscarlet^^> as in software ... for online voice chat :)
[14:23] <h1st0> nimzo: is it an infrared remote?
[14:23] <Rifleman_82> pici: is java 6 available for 6.06 ?
[14:23] <h1st0> phild0: then nvidia will be working.
[14:23] <zth> sudo insmod hid.ko <- trying that gives me invalid module format... so how do i do it?
[14:23] <Rifleman_82> i need it for some internet banking
[14:23] <h1st0> phild0: read the message from ubotu
[14:23] <h1st0> !nvidia > phild0,   phild0 Read the private message from ubotu.
[14:23] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow: think I am going to try the alternate install and maybe apt-get xubuntu-desktop see how that works out . will be back later and let you know :)
[14:24] <misslecommander> i know a temproray fix for that i believe
[14:24] <phild0> h1st0: ok, its doing what it did before, restarts a few times then loads low-graphics mode.
[14:24] <misslecommander> GUI going haywire , only desktop, no panels
[14:24] <nimzo> h1st0: yes
[14:25] <UBUNTUISLOVED> misslecommander: what is it?
[14:25] <h1st0> phild0: what type of nvidia card do you have?
[14:25] <misslecommander> go to Network, uncheck the box, then re-check it, then configure , and press ok
[14:25] <misslecommander> temp fix
[14:25] <misslecommander> OS gonna die
[14:25] <phild0> h1st0: A 7300GT
[14:25] <nimzo> h1st0: it is deifined in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
[14:25] <h1st0> nimzo: it should be controlled by lirc then.  Perhaps search the forums
[14:25] <SleepingSloth> phild0, i missed the start of your problem, but - you're trying to get nvidia-glx-new set up in gutsy, right?
[14:25] <l3ttuc3> how long do downloaded .deb files remain in the /var/cache/apt/archives directory?
[14:25] <h1st0> SleepingSloth: yes
[14:26] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: untill you remove them
[14:26] <phild0> SleepingSloth: basically - and the problem is that the ko file isnt being created
[14:26] <phild0> or perhaps its being created in the wrong place
[14:26] <misslecommander> be back, restart
[14:26] <nimzo> h1st0 done that, the problem is how to make it issue keyboard commands, lircd seems not to do that
[14:26] <l3ttuc3> h1st0 oh, ok. it does not rotate or get rid of them if you run out of space or anything?
[14:26] <SleepingSloth> phild0, with the drivers downloaded from nvidia?
[14:26] <h1st0> nimzo: there should be a lirc config in your home directory
[14:26] <phild0> SleepingSloth: i've tried both
[14:26] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: you can clean it out but i'm pretty sure they stay.
[14:27] <phild0> modprobe is looking for /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/nvidia/nvidia.ko - is that the correct directory?
[14:27] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: sudo apt-get autoclean
[14:27] <l3ttuc3> h1st0 no im fine with that behaviour. im a bit scared they get deleted automatically, before i get a chance to copy them somewhere else to avoid having to download them again. 256kbps. not ideal for repeated downloads. plus i got a 1GB cap on my bandwidth monthly.
[14:28] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: yeah I currently have 3 versions of xorg etc..
[14:28] <l3ttuc3> hah. h1st0 i take it that stretches a while. thanks.
[14:29] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: let me check something real quick
[14:29] <SleepingSloth> phild0 - what are you running?
[14:29] <l3ttuc3> h1st0 ok.
[14:29] <phild0> SleepingSloth: gutsy
[14:29] <SleepingSloth> phild0, modprobe what, i mean
[14:29] <phild0> modprobe nvidia
[14:30] <SleepingSloth> using nvidia-glx-new, modprobe nvidia returns nothing for me
[14:30] <phild0> thats because the module would be loaded for you?
[14:30] <bullgard4> Are the announced Freenode netsplits now over?
[14:31] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow: i am glad you mentioned Session, i hd been looking for Network Manager in  Services, no wonder why i couldnt enable it at startup
[14:31] <phild0> is there a command to make modprobe look through all the modules?
[14:32] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: autoclean removes packages that can no longer be downloaded
[14:32] <Karyn_bear> hey guys, im trying to watch a DVD (.avi file) on my ubunbu, but it's not playing. I installed the libdvd already
[14:32] <Karyn_bear> any ideas?
[14:32] <phild0> depmod looks good
[14:32] <l3ttuc3> h1st0 what do you mean by 'can' no longer be downloaded?
[14:32] <misslecommander> modprobe > -l --list
[14:32] <misslecommander>     List all modules matching the given wildcard (or "*"
[14:32] <misslecommander>     if no wildcard is given).  This option is provided for
[14:32] <misslecommander>     backwards compatibility: see
[14:32] <misslecommander>     find(1) and
[14:32] <misslecommander>     basename(1) for a more flexible alternative.
[14:32] <FloodBot2> misslecommander: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:32] <l3ttuc3> those that are out of the repository?
[14:32] <dax_roc> phild0: what you mean ? reload
[14:32] <rootborn> what to get for my wireless of my laptop to work?
[14:32] <Achoth> Karyn_bear: Try MPlayer or VLC
[14:33] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: like old versions of packages
[14:33] <misslecommander> next time i will use > man modprobe
[14:33] <Karyn_bear> i tried MPlayer "Movie PLayer/Totem" and VLC
[14:33] <Karyn_bear> but no luck
[14:33] <l3ttuc3> h1st0 ah ok. thanks.
[14:33] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: it still leaves current packages there.
[14:33] <dax_roc> phild0: lsmod will list all modules, depmod is for updating iirc
[14:33] <phild0> :)
[14:33] <Achoth> Karyn_bear: That sucks, have you tried installing codecs?
[14:33] <SleepingSloth> phild0, what was the problem with apt-getting nvidia-glx-new ?
[14:34] <Achoth> Because I didn't have to do anything for my Ubuntu
[14:34] <l3ttuc3> h1st0 and you can add those to synaptic, right? if you just copy them onto a dvd then later want to install them? and it'll sync dependencies and all that?
[14:34] <Karyn_bear> i belive the codecs are installed Achoth
[14:34] <Karyn_bear> how can i confirm that?
[14:35] <bazhang> Karyn_bear: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> Karyn_bear, http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg34t2.htm
[14:35] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: you can just install them with dpkg or gdebi
[14:35] <Karyn_bear> Achoth: I am able to watch movie trailers at apple.com/trailers
[14:35] <zth> HEY GUYS. i got a simple .diff file (kernel patch) i want to apply to my running rt kernel, how do i do this?! do i have to recompile the whole damn thing?
[14:35] <phild0> SleepingSloth: no problem - modules.dep just needed updating
[14:35] <phild0> all good now.
[14:35] <Karyn_bear> yes restricted-extras are already enabled
[14:35] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: I don't know about making a mirror though.  You might want to check out apt-cdrom
[14:35] <phild0> thanks anyway :)
[14:35] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: man apt-cdrom
[14:35] <dax_roc> Karyn_bear: thats one of many codecs ( apple )
[14:36] <l3ttuc3> h1st0 it's ok, so long as i got the .debs i'll figure something out if and when i need to.
[14:36] <dax_roc> you could install gst-ffmpeg
[14:36] <Karyn_bear> i see, but how can i watch this DVD with .avi file ?
[14:36] <dax_roc> not sure if that handles dvd
[14:36] <dax_roc> What player are you using with what backend
[14:36] <h1st0> l3ttuc3: yeah I would read the man pages of apt-cdrom may do what you are looking for when you need to restore.

[14:40] <Rifleman_82> what does "locale not supported by Xlib" mean?

[14:41] <dax_roc> Joe_: are you suspending / resuming when the freezes happen ?
[14:41] <Joe_> dax_roc no, it happens completely randomly
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> Nulo, you can kill <pid> each firefox process using the leftmost number
[14:41] <Joe_> could be reading email, typing, watching a show, doing nothing
[14:42] <dax_roc> have you any experimental drivers / modules installed
[14:43] <Joe_> dax_roc no, only drivers I have that aren't from the repos are the nvidia ones, 169.07 the most current

[14:46] <ubotu> cubesis: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[14:46] <cubesis> i mean flash 9 sound in browser doesn't work

[14:47] <Joe_> dax_roc two cards, GeForce 6200 and Quadro NVS 280
[14:48] <cubesis> ubotu should be redo that cause the flash bug fix is out!
[14:48] <crdlb> am^2u: no, that just means the the ATI driver is broken so fell back to software rendering
[14:48] <am^2u> and reinstalling/uninstalling  the drivers wont help
[14:48] <crdlb> am^2u: check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[14:48] <bazhang> cubesis: it is?
[14:48] <LunatikBunnie> I need assistance, I dont know how to resize my HDA1 on the installation of Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) on my desktop, The slider only allows me to change the size of my SDA(Sata HDD)
[14:48] <am^2u> ok, what should i look for ?
[14:48] <cubesis> For a fix, see the built packages (in blue) provided under Main Fix.
[14:49] <crdlb> am^2u: just pastebin it if you'd like
[14:49] <dgjones> cubesis, is the fix in the ubuntu repo's?

[14:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cable - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[14:50] <LunatikBunnie> bazhang: yes.
[14:50] <dgjones> cubesis, if there's a fix that isn't in the repo's, its not an officially supported fix, thats why uboto is sticking with bug report

[14:50] <Joe_> dax_roc as I said earlier, it didn't work for me, it would only see one monitor and one other showing random colors.  Manually instaling the drivers from Nvidia was the only thing that worked
[14:50] <white_eagle> can I connect via cable connection to internet using ubuntu?
[14:51] <bazhang> cow_2001: just a moment...
[14:51] <cubesis> oh ok sorry..

[14:51] <uptownben> Hi all, I'm setting up a new ubuntu server and I wanted to ask what your opinions were regarding installing exim or sendmail...
[14:51] <bazhang> LunatikBunnie: and what seems to be the issue?
[14:51] <Karyn_bear> how can i watch DVD's on ubuntu?
[14:51] <Joe_> dax_roc no, I used nvidia-settings to do it
[14:51] <LunatikBunnie> bazhang: i want to resize HDA1 not SDA1. there's no SLIDER for HDA1.
[14:51] <Unxuxu> hi... Can anyone help with my graphical envoirmnt?  If compiz is installed, my gnome-settings-deamon, does not startup... if I remove compiz, gnome-settings-deamon starts but there is no windows borders or title bars.;..
[14:52] <pkundu> Karyn_bear, vlc or media player
[14:52] <cubesis> karyn: u need the restricted packages an easy way is using automatix
[14:52] <am^2u> ok, then how do i get to installing my ATi drivers ? i even tried the one from the website .. the .run file but when i later checked it showed as VESA being installed
[14:52] <dgjones> !automatix | cubesis
[14:52] <ubotu> cubesis: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[14:52] <Karyn_bear> right pkundu: But my .avi file wont play in MPlayer or VLC
[14:52] <dax_roc> Joe_: it should work fine with a hand tailored xorg.conf on the repo drivers, sorry I cant be of more help
[14:52] <Karyn_bear> and i have restricted extras enabled
[14:52] <LunatikBunnie> bazhang: ALSO, does the slider work as "10%" = use 10% for ubuntu OR "10%" = use 10% FOR XP?
[14:52] <white_eagle> I have problems with nethack for gnome, it wouldn't start a new game via ctrl+N it just freezes, I have to exit the game, and enter it again so I can start a new game
[14:52] <Karyn_bear> and libdvd
[14:52] <crdlb> am^2u: that's a bad idea
[14:52] <cubesis> yeah i know its not recommended but for people that don't use linux much its easy to install a lot of packages at one time
[14:53] <am^2u> i guess
[14:53] <cubesis> !ubotu worksforme
[14:53] <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/
[14:53] <pkundu> Karyn_bear, VLC should play your avi. Did you tried opening the file from VLC
[14:53] <Pici> cubesis: No. Its not reccomended because it can break your system.
[14:53] <am^2u> what do you suggest crdlb  ?
[14:53] <dgjones> cubesis, please don't recommend automatix, once its used, the majority of people supporting in here aren't able to help because of the way it works and its difficult to diagnose problems
[14:53] <cubesis> oh i will check out the link
[14:53] <Karyn_bear> yes it just "hangs" and i have to force quit pkundu
[14:53] <bazhang> cow_2001: a practical guide to ubuntu linux seems to be the more popular title on amazon--haven't read it, but seems okay
[14:53] <Karyn_bear> same with my MPlayer
[14:54] <cubesis> can't i won't but for dvd's u should use medibuntu right?
[14:54] <Karyn_bear> hey pkundu: that is very strange VLC is working now
[14:54] <crdlb> am^2u: once you use ati's installer, it becomes very difficult to undo that damage. Whenever you are on that computer, join #compiz-fusion and look for me or adamk
[14:54] <cubesis> i mean ok i won't sorry i just woke up
[14:54] <Karyn_bear> but MPlayer won't play it
[14:54] <Karyn_bear> why is that
[14:54] <pkundu> Karyn_bear, then it may be issue with the hardware resource and not player
[14:54] <LunatikBunnie> bazhang: any help?
[14:54] <am^2u> will do , thanks crdlb
[14:54] <pkundu> Karyn_bear, wat hardware config you are using
[14:54] <cow_2001> bazhang, thanks
[14:54] <Karyn_bear> im not sure, how can i check pkundu?
[14:54] <white_eagle> am^2u, look for the atis linux unofficial wiki
[14:55] <Unxuxu> hi... Can anyone help with my graphical envoirmnt?  If compiz is installed, my gnome-settings-deamon, does not startup... if I remove compiz, gnome-settings-deamon starts but there is no windows borders or title bars.;..
[14:55] <white_eagle> search on google
[14:55] <Unxuxu> gutsy
[14:55] <cubesis> so are most people using the flash fix or is there another option? besides waiting
[14:55] <cizarro> hello all. is there a special channel for hardy-related questions (testing-related)?
[14:55] <crdlb> cizarro: #ubuntu+1
[14:55] <pkundu> !brokenflash
[14:55] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.

I need to change the size of my HDA1(PATA HDD). also, should i pull more to the RIGHT for space to install or more to the LEFT for more space for ubuntu?

[14:57] <ingofreyer> Hi. Can anybody help me with a little problem? I have an USB-IR-Receiver which is fully recognized is I plug it in. But it will not be recognized after restarting Ubuntu until I plug it out and replug it into another USB-Port. Anybody an idea how to fix this problem?
[14:57] <cubesis> white_eagle so is your sound working fine? no delays?
[14:57] <white_eagle> cubesis: nah
[14:58] <cubesis> what?
[14:58] <sybariten> anyone know a good apt-command to see how much space a package will occupy if i install it? Without installing it, i mean
[14:58] <cubesis> do u mean no it has no delays or no it doesn't work
[14:58] <davertron> hi guys, i'm trying to enable the nvidia driver through the restricted drivers manager, but after i restart i'm unable to startx, and the xorg error log has the following messages in it "error running install command for nvidia" and "Failed to load nvidia kernel module"
[14:58] <cubesis> davertron u probably aren't using the right driver for your card then
[14:59] <bazhang> sybariten: what package? you can search at packages.ubuntu.com
[14:59] <nemo> I'm installing ubuntu on laptop of a friend who is rather unhappy with Vista.
[14:59] <nemo> Trouble is, I've never resized a drive with vista before.
[14:59] <davertron> cubesis should i just download the driver package from the nvidia site?
[14:59] <sybariten> bazhang: ffmpeg
[14:59] <cubesis> what card do you have?
[14:59] <nemo> I'm wondering if people here have ever resized a drive to shove vista into a little corner safely
[14:59] <davertron> cubesis i have a geforce 5200
[14:59] <nemo> I suppose I should ask in ##linux too, just, am targetting ubuntu, so...
[15:00] <cubesis> i had one of those when i was on 4.10 so u might wanna try the legacy driver
[15:00] <cubesis> nvidia-legacy
[15:00] <ikonia> nemo: many people have, but there are still risks
[15:00] <davertron> cubesis how do i tell which driver i have?
[15:00] <nemo> ikonia: any that aren't there with XP?
[15:00] <bazhang> nemo: dual boot vista and ubuntu?
[15:00] <pure`eigenVector> need help with setting up grub after installing windows on a separate hard disk from ubuntu:  I went through the QuickStart on 'Recovering Ubuntu after Installing Windows' but got an Error 17 when it started booting:/
[15:00] <cubesis> davertron: use your package manager to find the legacy driver and try that
[15:00] <nemo> bazhang: well, actually triple boot :-/
[15:00] <nemo> bazhang: she wants XP too
[15:01] <ikonia> nemo: no - resizing a non-native file system has risks on any os
[15:01] <sybariten> nemo: i have never done that....
[15:01] <sybariten> nemo: ....but i love google and it tells me this: http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2007/12/27/windows/installing-ubuntu-laptops-single-ntfs-partition-windows-xp-or-vista
[15:01] <nemo> ikonia: yeah, but I've done XP at least a few times
[15:01] <ikonia> nemo: and ?
[15:01] <nemo> ikonia: well, has always turned out well
[15:01] <ikonia> nemo: that doesn't mean it does not have risks
[15:01] <nemo> but vista is a different beastie, so thought I'd seek out others experiences
[15:02] <ikonia> nemo: it CAN work but there are risks
[15:02] <SleepingSloth> davertron, what happens when you try to startx?
[15:02] <nemo> ikonia: I know :)
[15:02] <ikonia> nemo: ubuntu will treat vista the same as XP
[15:02] <Muiske> je
[15:02] <cubesis> for dual booting vista it is best do boot ubuntu through the vista boot loader
[15:02] <bazhang> http://apcmag.com/5162/the_definitive_dual_booting_guide_linux_vista_and_xp nemo
[15:02] <nemo> ikonia: fair 'nuff. just was wondering if Vista did odd things to filesystem the resizer wouldn't expect
[15:02] <ikonia> cubesis: you can't do that
[15:02] <nemo> cubesis: really!
[15:03] <IdleOne> ikonia: would you mind getting me a link to 7.10 alternatecd download. cant seem to get it from ubuntu.com even if I check the box
[15:03] <nemo> I was going to chainload vista and xp out of grub, same as usual
[15:03] <cubesis> thats what i seen in some tutorials
[15:03] <ikonia> nemo: no he's wrong
[15:03] <bazhang> cubesis: nonsense
[15:03] <ikonia> IdleOne: one moment
[15:03] <IdleOne> thank you np
[15:03] <nemo> ikonia: well, kind of thing I wanted to come here to find out :)
[15:03] <mzracer360> I own a Mirra backup server which no longer backs up, I am wanting to put ubuntu server 7.10 on it, but first I need to remove the BIOS password to change some settings.  Can anyone help me out?
[15:03] <nemo> ikonia: maybe I should back up my boot sector just in case
[15:03] <ikonia> IdleOne: any specific location you want to get it from
[15:03] <cubesis> cause vistas boat loader is picky and wants to be the first sector on the drive
[15:03] <tygenos> nemo easiest way = boot partition on usb
[15:03] <cubesis> in order to boot vista
[15:03] <mzracer360> i have already tried removeing the CMOS battery
[15:03] <IdleOne> ikonia: US east coast if possible
[15:03] <nemo> tygenos: ick ick ick
[15:03] <ikonia> cubesis: if you don't know something - please don't say it
[15:04] <ikonia> nemo: ignore that
[15:04] <cubesis> wow..im not making it up
[15:04] <nemo> ikonia: ok. so grub chainload is still possible.
[15:04] <ikonia> nemo: yes
[15:04] <nemo> I mean, I don't actually care about the vista boot loader
[15:04] <ikonia> nemo: correct
[15:04] <nemo> unless vista wants it
[15:04] <sybariten> hm, emacs takes up around 65 megabytes
[15:04] <nemo> some sekret vista boot loader magik
[15:05] <ikonia> nemo: just install it as you did on xp
[15:05] <nemo> sybariten: you don't need all of emacs :)
[15:05] <sybariten> i am running ubuntu from a 1Gb live USB memory devizzze
[15:05] <tygenos> nemo if you use bitlocker, better put the boot on usb. Chainloading works without a problem
[15:05] <nemo> tygenos: since I don't know what bitlocker is...
[15:05] <nemo> does that mean no?
[15:06] <ikonia> IdleOne:  http://ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso
[15:06] <nemo> tygenos: vista encrypted partition?
[15:06] <sybariten> the question is, is there a good way to check whether emacs will fit? will it without doubt end up in that 250-mb-partition that doesnt have the filesystem on it?
[15:06] <sybariten> nemo: ok?
[15:06] <ikonia> IdleOne: that one is responding quick. 32bit 7.10 alt-install cd
[15:06] <tygenos> bitlocker is drive encryption in vista
[15:06] <IdleOne> thank you ikonia
[15:06] <ikonia> IdleOne: welcome
[15:06] <nemo> sybariten: what are you using emacs for? :)
[15:06] <bobbob1016> I'm converting videos with mencoder, flv to avi.  I'm using "mencoder input.flv -o output.avi -ovc x264 -x264encopts threads=3:bitrate=500 -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=52" I have a hyper-threaded machine, not sure if using the dual-core command applies, but should those commands give me the same quality as the original flv?
[15:07] <sybariten> nemo: textediting....
[15:07] <nemo> sybariten: there are some stripped down emacs distributions
[15:07] <cubesis> how can you uninstall mozilla firefox plugins?
[15:07] <ingofreyer> Hi. Can anybody help me with a little problem? I have an USB-IR-Receiver which is fully recognized is I plug it in. But it will not be recognized after restarting Ubuntu until I plug it out and replug it into another USB-Port. Anybody an idea how to fix this problem?
[15:07] <bobbob1016> How would I check that the video is the same quality?
[15:07] <ikonia> cubesis: remove them from the plugin dir in your home dir
[15:07] <sybariten> nemo: oh, you mean like joe or jed or whatever its called... well, its worthless if i cant have the lisp environment and all that
[15:07] <nemo> bobbob1016: if you find a version of mencoder and filter strings that don't result in a/v lag, please let me know :-/
[15:07] <cubesis> oh ok thankyou
[15:07] <nemo> bobbob1016: video won't be same quality obviously since you are re-encoding
[15:07] <cubesis> ingofreyer: is your bios set to plug and play?
[15:08] <nemo> bobbob1016: question is if it is good enough for you
[15:08] <nemo> sybariten: ah aaaand when the requirements go up, so does the size ;)
[15:08] <nemo> sybariten: could just use a tiny clisp package or something :)
[15:08] <bobbob1016> nemo, How much quality loss will I have though, a significant amount, as in 25% or more like 10%?
[15:09] <nemo> bobbob1016: these aren't things you measure in percentages :-p
[15:09] <cubesis> ikonia: i don't see anything like that in my HOME folder
[15:09] <ingofreyer> cubesis:my bios should be set right. it worked before on a c't-VDR 6 distro (debian-based). but it does not work on ubuntu 7.10-amd64 now...
[15:09] <sybariten> nemo: hm, i dont know... i'm sceptical....  :)
[15:09] <nemo> bobbob1016: TIAS
[15:09] <Silospen> Quick question: Mounting filesystem through Nautilus (i know, fstab would probably be easier, but i;m now determined to do it this way) - Is there some format for mount options in nautilus? It keeps throwing "invalid mount option"
[15:09] <ikonia> cubesis: ~/.mozilla/plugins
[15:09] <nemo> bobbob1016: and try #mplayer
[15:09] <bobbob1016> nemo, Do you have a better way I can convert the videos then?  Since you don't seem too fond of mencoder.
[15:09] <nemo> bobbob1016: and do let me know if you find a combination and ubuntu mencoder package that don't have a/v desync
[15:09] <cubesis> well 64 doesn't have that much support im on a dual socket dual core and i use 32 bit
[15:09] <nemo> bobbob1016: actually, I'm quite fond of it
[15:10] <nemo> bobbob1016: I just can't seem to get it to elminate audio lag from flv, and is annoying me
[15:10] <cubesis> 64 is just going to help you with very few things
[15:10] <ikonia> cubesis: what are you talking about ?
[15:10] <cubesis> and hurt you with many
[15:10] <nemo> bobbob1016: I mean, without hand-tuning lag.
[15:10] <ingofreyer> ikonia: thats for me, I suppose
[15:10] <ikonia> ingofreyer: but saying 64bit doesn't have much support is wrong
[15:10] <ingofreyer> cubesis: you think, I should try and switch to a 32-bit ubuntu?
[15:10] <cubesis> i would
[15:10] <Karyn_bear> hey, im having some trouble with watching a DVD/.avi file
[15:11] <Karyn_bear> i have all therequirments installed
[15:11] <Karyn_bear> but it wont play
[15:11] <cubesis> especially if you had it working on another debian os that was 32 wasn't it?
[15:11] <SleepingSloth> i'm running 64 bit, and i've got no problems...
[15:11] <Unxuxu> hi... Can anyone help with my graphical envoirmnt?  If compiz is installed, my gnome-settings-deamon, does not startup... if I remove compiz, gnome-settings-deamon starts but there is no windows borders or title bars.;..
[15:11] <SleepingSloth> even flash worked without any real effort
[15:12] <cubesis> sleepingsloth well this guy does
[15:12] <cubesis> flash with sound?
[15:12] <ingofreyer> yeah, and flash is not my problem. it is a technisat-usb-ir-receiver.
[15:12] <nemo> Unxuxu: you could just use another WM? :)  #compiz-fusion folks are quite familiar with common bugs though
[15:13] <snipexv> Hi, I have a hp deskjet 3653. Gutsy will automatically detect the
[15:13] <snipexv> printer as a HP DeskJet 3650 Foomatic/hpijs with device uri
[15:13] <snipexv> hp:/usb/deskjet_3600?serial=LPDT. However, I can't get anything to
[15:13] <snipexv> print: I'll add the job to the printer but it will only process, never print. I searched
[15:13] <snipexv> google and the forums with no luck. Does anyone here have any ideas on
[15:13] <snipexv> how I should continue in finding a solution?
[15:13] <FloodBot2> snipexv: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:13] <SleepingSloth> cubesis - admittedly i dont have an IR receiver. my point was just that 64 bit support has been making headway recently. a year ago i would have agreed with you wholeheartedy, but i moved back to 64 bit with gutsy, and so far, no issues
[15:14] <ikonia> SleepingSloth: pretty much every 32bit component in the kernel tree is supported in 64bit
[15:14] <eugman> Is there a tool for checking the lan for other computers and tells me what local ip they have?
[15:14] <bazhang> SleepingSloth: no question; but this is kind of a special situation :}
[15:14] <ikonia> SleepingSloth: it's external 3rd party drivers that have limited support and can't be generalised under linux
[15:14] <cubesis> sleeping could u tell me what performs better as i have 4 cpu cores on a AMD and if it really does anything better i should switch then
[15:14] <ikonia> eugman: not really, you want networking monitoring/probing
[15:15] <cubesis> i thought i read that 32 bit fixes aren't always supported to 64
[15:15] <ikonia> cubesis: how can you be asking which works best when your advising people to not use it ?
[15:15] <SleepingSloth> bazhang, ikonia, cubesis no argument, i was just agreeing with ikonia about support being decent.
[15:15] <cubesis> cause i didn't know the support changed
[15:15] <SleepingSloth> ikonia. probably because life moves on...?
[15:15] <ikonia> cubesis: so as before "if you don't know something - please don't say it"
[15:15] <bazhang> SleepingSloth: I'm agreeing with your agreement :}
[15:15] <bobbob1016> nemo, By A/V sync, you mean the audio gets out of sync?  Do you know of any program that doesn't do that?  Does mencoder work with rm to avi as well?
[15:15] <MrMist> Hey guys
[15:15] <ingofreyer> ikonia: SleepingSoth: bazhang: cubesis: the driver works. only the device is only recognized again is I unplug it and replug it again.
[15:16] <Karyn_bear> my MPlayer and VLC is broken!
[15:16] <bullgard1> ikonia: I have made a change in my configuration. Please highlight me so that I can see if it has some effect.
[15:16] <SleepingSloth> bazhang.. :)
[15:16] <MrMist> I'm having a small problem... How can I play videos without X using Ubuntu?
[15:16] <ikonia> bullgard1: test
[15:16] <bullgard1> ikonia: Thank you.
[15:16] <cubesis> ingo: i would just go with the easy fix and use a front USB port and when you use it u just have to plug it in
[15:16] <unstable> How can I write random data to my entire disk, with ubuntu.
[15:16] <bazhang> ingofreyer: what about during sleep/hibernate/thaw--does it remains okay in that situation?
[15:17] <ingofreyer> so is there a event, I could call after startup tu emulate the replugging-process for not having to replug it manually? the system will be a mediacenter under a tv...
[15:17] <MrMist> How do I enable the framebuffer? It's possible to use mplayer with the framebuffer, right ?
[15:17] <cubesis> so does 64 perform better on a 64 bit OS or is just for people that do compiling and such
[15:17] <bobbob1016> unstable, Random data to the entire disk as in free space, right?
[15:17] <unstable> bobbob1016: no, everything. overwriting the os and all my data
[15:17] <ikonia> cubesis: 64bit will perform better with software with high memory usage or software that is multithreaded and able to use the longer registers
[15:18] <bazhang> cubesis: not really the place for this discussion; what about joining #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[15:18] <nemo> bobbob1016: ask in #mplayer
[15:18] <ingofreyer> I can try if it does. but there are not much options I would use, the box will remain unpowered most times, will only be used if we want to watch tv, dvd's, ... So I need to consume as less power as I can
[15:18] <cubesis> ok sorry guys if im being a n00b i will ntso
[15:18] <nemo> bobbob1016: and is possible to tweak the intervals to acceptable manually, and possibly more advanced tweaks I don't know about
[15:18] <SleepingSloth> cubesis - well, I don't think i can 'feel' a real noticeable difference in all honesty. but i imagine that's largely because i'm not running the cpu intensive apps i was a few years ago. if i were running a lot of less common applications, (ie non-repos ones), and with a lot of uncommon hardware, i would think twice about swapping - but that is purely my own gut feeling about it
[15:18] <ingofreyer> cubesis: 64bit does compile faster on a 64bit processor, yeah
[15:18] <ToxicSoul2> unstable, dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/<drive>
[15:18] <bazhang> ingofreyer: I see; the remote really is the key, eh?
[15:18] <nemo> bobbob1016: and for all I know, is fixed in later mplayer
[15:18] <ingofreyer> yeah#
[15:19] <bobbob1016> unstable, I'd suggest dban, derick's boot and nuke, you burn it to a CD, and it completely scrambles whatever drive you tell it to.  I'd suggest removing any drive you don't want erased
[15:19] <bobbob1016> nemo, Thanks
[15:19] <cubesis> sleepingsloth: thankyou
[15:19] <ToxicSoul2> unstable, although like bob said, dban is probably better
[15:19] <MrMist> Anyone ?
[15:20] <kost_> How to see chat logs in Pidgin?
[15:20] <cubesis> i used sudo nautilus and went to my mozilla plugin folder but it still won't let me delete
[15:20] <c0ldfusi0n> Hey guys. Is it safe to install xserver-xorg-core ?
[15:21] <SleepingSloth> cubesis - there *should* be a performance benefit, with all other things being equal. that performance benefit could be anything from 0% upwards, i believe
[15:21] <unstable> ToxicSoul2: my bios is password protected, I forgot the password. and the bios boot order doesn't show cdrom first
[15:21] <unstable> and my hdd is sata, which I don't have an external adapter for
[15:21] <Starnestommy> c0ldfusi0n: yes
[15:21] <c0ldfusi0n> Starnestommy: Thanks.
[15:21] <arkangelp> Hello everyone
[15:22] <ToxicSoul2> there are ways to bypass bios passwords, but you can always run sudo fdisk
[15:22] <ToxicSoul2> however if wipe your drive, and your pc isn't set to boot from disc..
[15:22] <ToxicSoul2> not sure how you're going to reinstall much =p
[15:22] <bazhang> !hi | arkangelp
[15:22] <cubesis> sleepingsloth: thankyou i will just stick with 32 as you are just gonna stick with 64 sorry for recommending 32 i didn't know that 64 has full 32 bit support
[15:22] <ubotu> arkangelp: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[15:23] <ingofreyer> SleepingSoth: cubesis: There *is* a performance benefit, I compile 33% faster now. can we switch back discussion to how to solve strange behaviour of ubuntu? is there any possibility to simulate the replugging-process?
[15:23] <lod_> is there any console version of wireshark, ethereal and etc.
[15:23] <Starnestommy> lod_: tshark?
[15:24] <lod_> i want it for server, without gui
[15:24] <bazhang> !info tshark
[15:24] <ubotu> tshark (source: wireshark): network traffic analyzer (console). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99.6rel-3 (gutsy), package size 106 kB, installed size 256 kB
[15:24] <ToxicSoul2> I have an interesting problem, if I boot the install cd neither my mouse nor keyboard work, however in safe graphics mode they work and I'm able to install but it hangs at boot.. now I know the pc works because surprisingly Solaris works and will install flawlessly
[15:24] <lod_> 10x
[15:25] <Bromskloss> Hi! I'd like to get a laptop or a subnotebook to run Ubuntu on. Is there a list of models that are known to work well with Ubuntu?
[15:26] <Starnestommy> MrMist: I think https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ConsoleFramebuffer?highlight=%28framebuffer%29 explains how to enable framebuffers
[15:26] <Matir> Bromskloss, consider System76: they ship notebooks with Ubuntu pre-installed
[15:26] <bazhang> Bromskloss: eeepc works well :}
[15:26] <cubesis> i installed gnash and the mozzila plugin but how do i set it to use that instead of flash 9
[15:27] <ToxicSoul2> cubesis, remove flash9 =p
[15:27] <phatnutz> hello, hoping for help with mythbuntu install
[15:27] <cubesis> i tried but sudo nautilus and i still can't delete
[15:27] <ToxicSoul2> ..
[15:27] <ToxicSoul2> use synaptic.
[15:27] <arkangelp> Does anyone can recommend a good software to transfer mp3 to my pend drive? like sony or samsung?
[15:27] <arkangelp> Hello everyone
[15:28] <phatnutz> hola
[15:28] <pure`eigenVector> hihi
[15:28] <ToxicSoul2> and arkangelp, what do you mean, you can use nautilus, or just use a terminal..
[15:28] <bazhang> arkangelp: which make and model?
[15:28] <StigOE> Is there anyone that would be able to help me get my graphics card (Ati Radeon HD 2600) installed properly in Ubuntu? When I enable fglrx and reboot, the monitor isn't able to show a picture. It's like it reboots in a loop...
[15:29] <arkangelp> ToxicSoul2,  I am trying to transfer those from nautilus but is hanging...
[15:29] <ToxicSoul2> is the drive full?
[15:29] <arkangelp> no ToxicSoul2
[15:29] <Bromskloss> Matir and bazhang: Thank you. I am taking notes. Are there any place I could find a longer list of models that will work?
[15:29] <anthony> hello
[15:30] <Matir> Bromskloss, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam
[15:30] <ToxicSoul2> I have an interesting problem, if I boot the install cd neither my mouse nor keyboard work, however in safe graphics mode they work and I'm able to install but it hangs at boot.. now I know the pc works because surprisingly Solaris works and will install flawlessly
[15:30] <Goshawk> hi
[15:31] <UBUNTUISLOVED> hi
[15:31] <p13r0> hi
[15:31] <UBUNTUISLOVED> anyone know of a way to emulate tape device for testing?
[15:31] <Bromskloss> Matir: Seems to be spot on! (At first sight, anyway.) Thanks! :-)
[15:31] <Goshawk> i want to log all the commands typed from an user into the shell. can syslog do it?
[15:31] <axel_> Hello! I want to translate the printing-dialogue into German. I Use Ubuntu 7.10 and HPLIP. Where do I find the files to modify?
[15:31] <p13r0> can anyone help me ?
[15:32] <Starnestommy> p13r0: go ahead and ask yyour questions
[15:32] <Matir> Bromskloss, no problem
[15:32] <st_iron> Goshawk: is not enough his/her .bash-history
[15:33] <axel_> Sorry, little correction. It's the printer properties dialogue I watnt to translate.
[15:33] <Goshawk> st_iron: i want to log also command outputs
[15:33] <phatnutz> anyone know why my mythbuntu 7.10 livecd hangs before getting to graphical mode - it hangs at "running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local).  if I ctr-alt-delete it reboots no problem
[15:33] <st_iron> Goshawk: then you want to log all things on the screen
[15:34] <Goshawk> st_iron: sure
[15:34] <st_iron> Goshawk: I think it is impossible (it is only my opinion)
[15:35] <sybariten> OK so i realized that i cant install emacs22 on my ubuntu live on USB
[15:35] <sybariten> i think my drive is 750 + 250 ... well its a 1Gb
[15:35] <Goshawk> st_iron: maybe i found something http://baudizm.blogsome.com/2007/09/12/log-terminal-commands-and-outputs-quietly/
[15:35] <Goshawk> st_iron: thanks anyway :)
[15:35] <sybariten> i seriously havent installed much with apt-get before...  shouldnt i have all 250 megs to install apt-packages?
[15:35] <bkar> phatnutz-> have you tried selecting vga or low rez when booting?
[15:36] <st_iron> Goshawk: interesting... good luck :)
[15:36] <ToxicSoul2> okay this is annoying..
[15:36] <DiceyDays> quick question- Anyone know of a gnome program that can tell me what is filling up my harddrive and where?
[15:36] <sybariten> and is there anything i can do, maybe as a reinstall, to use the space betteR? i used the guide on pendrivelinux, and they suggest a 750 partition. I dont need gnome actually, could i do this with Xfce?
[15:36] <bkar> sybariten-> sure why not? or you can  do the apt-get several times, say 50Meg at a time, at diff times off course
[15:37] <ToxicSoul2> My mouse and keyboard work right up to right after the background, etc. load for the session..
[15:37] <Starnestommy> DiceyDays: baobab?
[15:37] <phatnutz> bkar - didn't get that far...  it's in text mode, shows a bunch of (OK) items, then gets to the scripts and hangs.  sits there with the cursor flashing.  seems like x hasn't evn tried to initialize the display
[15:37] <Rainarrow> NickServ IDENTIFY Fpe509
[15:37] <DiceyDays> Starnestommy: Thanks
[15:37] <Rainarrow> ...
[15:38] <Rainarrow> I'm missing the slash, lol
[15:38] <ToxicSoul2> time for someone to change their password
[15:38] <bazhang> um Rainarrow...
[15:38] <Starnestommy> Rainarrow: /msg nickserv set password new-password-here
[15:38] <bkar> phatnutz-> how long have you waited? just for comparison, to get a working liveCD fedora 8 on an emachine 512Meg ram, 800MHz took me 12 minutes
[15:38]  * Rainarrow 's face turns red
[15:38] <sybariten> DiceyDays: i am no expert of those programs since i use other workflows and environments.....
[15:38] <Rainarrow> Starnestommy, Thanks
[15:38] <st_iron> Goshawk: it won't log all users
[15:38] <Starnestommy> everyone's accidentally done it at some point in time
[15:38] <Rainarrow> lol
[15:38]  * UBUNTUISLOVED hahah nice
[15:39] <Rainarrow> ok, I'm actually here for some questions
[15:39] <Robotchicken1886> hey has anyone ever had a problem where bittorrent keeps crashing/not responding durring a download
[15:39] <sybariten> DiceyDays: ....but i do love google and it tells me that the gnome counterpart of "Kdirstat" is "baobab"
[15:39] <Turno> hey, whats the equivalent of nice for the disk?... sort of like... disk nice?
[15:39] <phatnutz> bkar - i thought that might be the cae, but i lef tit for 20 minutes.  it's an amd64 with 2gb ram, so it probly shouldnt take that long...  is there a way to get a more verbose output to find out what's happening?
[15:39] <Robotchicken1886> it says it is not responding
[15:39] <zth> Rainarrow: if it's why it wont auth u its because u're forgetting the slash ;)
[15:39] <DiceyDays> Starnestommy: K, no prob, I am using it right now
[15:39] <sybariten> bkar: hm, how do you mean?
[15:39] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Robotchicken1886: what ver u using?
[15:39] <Robotchicken1886> and sometimes when the download file transfer window
[15:39] <Robotchicken1886> um let me check
[15:39] <sybariten> bkar: i mean, i dont think i can remove gnome from _this_ install....
[15:39] <Rainarrow> zth, thanks for enlighten me lol
[15:40] <ToxicSoul2> Anyone have any idea why my mouse and keyboard stop working right after the liveCD session finishes loading?
[15:40] <Rainarrow> ok, time to get serious
[15:40] <bkar> phatnutz-> during boot, I think F6 for options, remove the quiet  option on the line to become verbose
[15:40] <mewm_> hmm
[15:40] <Rainarrow> My Ubuntu box has a DELL P1110 CRT monitor
[15:40] <Rainarrow> and it won't display 1280x960
[15:40] <ToxicSoul2> I can't even kill gdm with ctrl+alt+backspace
[15:40] <bardyr> ToxicSoul2, what kind of keyboard/mouse?
[15:40] <ToxicSoul2> ps2
[15:40] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Robotchicken1886: what ver u using for bittorrent?
[15:40] <h1st0> Rainarrow: what kind of video card?
[15:40] <Robotchicken1886> um not sure
[15:40] <phatnutz> bkar - thanks, tht's my first stp for sure.
[15:40] <h1st0> Rainarrow: and does the monitor support that res?
[15:41] <Robotchicken1886> the newsest one i think
[15:41] <Rainarrow> the card is a ATi Radeon 9500
[15:41] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Robotchicken1886: have you tried to do all updates?
[15:41] <genii> try crtl-shift instead of ctrl-alt
[15:41] <nickryan> hello everybody, i have a problem about gnash. When I open youtube in firefox, my computer choked, gnash uses more than 50% of cpu, how can i deal it except uninstall gnash?
[15:41] <h1st0> !ati > Rainarrow,   Rainarrow Read the private message from ubotu.
[15:41] <Robotchicken1886> hmmm let me get on that
[15:41] <Robotchicken1886> thanks
[15:41] <Rainarrow> and sure, my monitor support that resolution
[15:41] <h1st0> nickryan: disable the plugin
[15:41] <ToxicSoul2> None of the normal key combinations worked, I've tried the whole acpi=off kernel option..
[15:41] <penguinguy1234> flash
[15:41] <Rainarrow> h1st0: Thank you, however I've already tried that
[15:41] <penguinguy1234> !flash
[15:41] <h1st0> nickryan: But you may want to ask the gnash people
[15:41] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[15:41] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
 Weird, it tells me 243 gig free but nautilus says I only have 221
[15:41] <h1st0> Rainarrow: you already installed ati drivers?
[15:41] <Rainarrow> I've tried both the open-source driver and the ATi proprietary driver, also tried to edit the xorg.conf
[15:42] <Rainarrow> yeah, I'm now working under the fglrx driver
[15:42] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: did you restart X
[15:42] <mewm_> argh
[15:42] <nickryan> h1st0: thanks, I have reported a bug
[15:42] <bkar> ToxicSoul2-> try low rez like vga maybe?
[15:42] <Rainarrow> of cuz, I also tried reboot machine
[15:42] <Rainarrow> and manually edit the xorg.conf, adding the mode I want in the "Mode" section
[15:42] <Rainarrow> and restart X
[15:42] <Rainarrow> and reboot again
[15:43] <ToxicSoul2> bkar, yeah I got the CD to work in safe graphics mode but then after installing it hangs at boot
[15:43] <nickryan> gnash is terrible
[15:43] <MrObvious> Howdy everyone..
[15:43] <Rainarrow> I also tried the amdcccel, the Catalyst Control Center
[15:43] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: pastebin.org your Xorg file
[15:43] <lusepuster> Hi folks - my fs behaves kinda oddly, it seems my swap patition loses its formatting every now and then. How can that be?
[15:43] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: sometimes it also needs Hsync to be correct
[15:44] <GizM0> can any on help me with a ip pro
[15:44] <DiceyDays> sybariten: It tells me I have 243 gig free but nautilus says I only have 221 gig free
[15:44] <Rainarrow> www.pastebin.org/16321
[15:44] <GizM0> Anyone know how to set an interface to promis mode with no IP address
[15:44] <l3ttuc3> DiceyDays something to do with 1024 vs 1000 bytes to a kilobyte?
[15:45] <genii> l3ttuc3: That would be my guess too
[15:45] <GizM0> Anyone ???
[15:45] <uptownben> Can anyone make a suggestion regarding a good/secure pop3 package?
[15:45] <penguinguy1234> I have a problem with desktop effects on ubuntu gutsy (7.10). When I try to enable on any user but the first user, it says 'desktop effects could not be enabled'. It works perfectly on the first user though...
[15:45] <bkar> ToxicSoul2-> boot on liveCD, mount the partition where /etc/X11/xorg.conf is and modify the resolution to match vga, so next boot on hard disk may work?
[15:45] <l3ttuc3> DiceyDays how did you arrive at the bigger value?
[15:45] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: uhhh nothing comes up
[15:46] <sybariten> DiceyDays: well
[15:46] <DiceyDays> l3ttuc3: I used baobab and it showed the higher value
[15:46] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: did you hit send
[15:46] <sybariten> DiceyDays: i dont think i can help you on that right now
[15:46] <zth> how can i completely remove an application i installed using scons and svn?
[15:46] <sybariten> DiceyDays: the du command is probably the most exact way of checking that
[15:46] <bkar> penguinguy1234-> you have to customize for each user, each user has to log on to do it
[15:46] <Rainarrow> http://pastebin.org/16321
[15:46] <Rainarrow> sure, please try again
[15:46] <GizM0> thanks for your help guys
[15:46] <MrObvious> zth: Use make uninstall?
[15:47] <l3ttuc3> DiceyDays that's the treeview program showing you a breakdown of all your used/unused space? the only thing i can think of is either one of them didn't factor something in, like lost+found or it's something to do with byte/kilobyte conversion.
[15:47] <genii> l3ttuc3: Also 5% reserved for superuser, etc
[15:47] <DiceyDays> l3ttuc3: Okay
[15:47] <penguinguy1234> bkar: I logged in to the second user and tried to enable it, but it says it could not be enabled.
[15:47] <Robotchicken1886> i have the latest version
[15:47] <l3ttuc3> genii you put the words to my thoughts hehe. DiceyDays im not 100% sure though.
[15:47] <zth> MrObvious: using scons and not regular make
[15:48] <bkar> penguinguy1234-> i dont know then, i would think each desktop is customizable per user basis
[15:48] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: http://pastebin.org/16324
[15:48] <MrObvious> zth: Oh. Uhh. IIRC there was a program that used scons. I don't remember.
[15:48] <MrObvious> zth: Lemme look.
[15:48] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: notice how i set the horizsync info

[15:49] <Rainarrow> UBUNTUISLOVED: I'm running 1280x1024 for now, if the Hsync is wrong shouldn't I be not able to running high resolution?
[15:49] <lod_> uname -a
[15:49] <MrObvious> zth: Ahh nevermind, I'm installing some security updates. Try seeing if scons --help will tell you how.
[15:49] <Rainarrow> UBUNTUISLOVED: thanks, I'll try that out
[15:49] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: your file has no sync in it

[15:59] <drhous1> MrObvious: ok so what should i do now?
[15:59] <Karyn_bear> hey guys i have a question. I went from totem-gstreamer to totem-xine to play DVD's
[15:59] <Karyn_bear> when i updated to totem-xine it no longer would play my .mp3's
[15:59] <Karyn_bear> why is that?
[16:00] <IdleOne> dont tell me I am going to have to reboot so I can eject this cd
[16:00] <UBUNTUISLOVED> anyone ever do any emulations for devices in vmware?
[16:00] <LjL> penguinguy1234: do you just not get it?
[16:00] <bazhang> IdleOne: I thought someone upscroll said eject -t
[16:00] <phatnutz> how can I try to start x from the command line if the livecd doesn't do it on it's own?  is it startx?  sorry, I'm REAL rusty
[16:00] <sipior> phatnutz: that should work
[16:01] <IdleOne> bazhang: yeah but my device gives me error
[16:01] <guest_> hi do i need to do apt-get update / upgrade for security updates?  or can i just do the update manager?
[16:01] <MrObvious> drhous1: Try this search: http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=35052816
[16:01] <genii> phatnutz: Yes, normally with no login manager then startx
[16:01] <UBUNTUISLOVED> phatnutz: love the name ....try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm
[16:01] <LjL> guest_, the update manager will do fine
[16:01] <IdleOne> bazhang: eject: CD-ROM tray close command failed: Input/output error
[16:01] <bazhang> IdleOne: what about opening burning software and choose eject from there
[16:01] <IdleOne> bazhang: tried that also
[16:02] <bazhang> IdleOne: such as k3b or whatever flavor oh sorry

[16:02] <ubotu> aneesh: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[16:02]  * MrObvious is teaching the bot to be friendlier. lol
[16:02] <azexian> anyone know anything about flash creation? I've tried f4l without success (nothing worked), and uira appears to be dead?
[16:02] <bazhang> IdleOne: can you see it on your desktop?
[16:02] <IdleOne> bazhang: gnomebaker and brasero dont have ejct options ( brasero sees cdrom as empty )
[16:02] <bkar> IdleOne-> one does not need to reboot, but may have to visit single user mode
[16:03] <shady_inc> Hi all
[16:03] <azexian> anyone?
[16:03] <IdleOne> bazhang: no it is not mounted
[16:03] <blackb2> qualcuno pratico di nfs
[16:03] <IdleOne> bkar: single user mode?
[16:03] <UBUNTUISLOVED> !hi |shady_inc
[16:03] <ubotu> shady_inc: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[16:03] <blackb2> ho un problema da giorni serissimo
[16:03] <ToxicSoul2> So can anyone tell me why if I disable a drive in BIOS ubuntu still manages to see it on the install CD? =p

[16:03] <bkar> IdleOne-> yes
[16:04] <blackb2> i have a big problem with nfs
[16:04] <dakira> in which file does samba save its users (dapper)?
[16:04] <tehk> I am wondering how would I load GLX on  macbook(c2d) my xorg does not have the modules section in it for me to add Load "glx"
[16:04] <IdleOne> bkar: explain please
[16:04] <azexian> flash creation (swf) ubuntu anyone? I've tried f4l, but no options work
[16:04] <phatnutz> UBUNTUISLOVED - thanks, I'm a master of nameology.  LOL  may I ask what that command does?  I'm about to try it but am curious
[16:04] <Rainarrow> UBUNTUISLOVED: I reverted to the original xorg.conf, but I still only got 800x600
[16:04] <bkar> IdleOne-> man init or initlevel
[16:04] <bazhang> azexian: what is f4l?
[16:04] <greenleaf> I have a dual-boot Ubuntu/XP system, and need to do an XP reinstall.  What do I need to do after that to make sure I can boot Ubuntu again?
[16:04] <shady_inc> blackb2: what problem.??
[16:04] <Rainarrow> I also selected the fglrx driver in the error dialog box
[16:04] <crdlb> tehk: it's not that simple, if you're getting GLX errors, your video drivers are just broken
[16:04] <azexian> flash for linux, it looks great, but no options work on gnome
[16:04] <sipior> ToxicSoul2: because ubuntu generally sidesteps the bios for this
[16:05] <bazhang> greenleaf: back up first step
[16:05] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: did you add the sync info i pasted?
[16:05] <dakira> greenleaf: boot with the ubuntu cd and install grub again
[16:05] <blackb2> when i try to connect a local filesystem to a remote pc
[16:05] <ToxicSoul2> greenleaf, just boot the liveCD and re-install grub
[16:05] <sipior> ToxicSoul2: well, most modern OSes do
[16:05] <crdlb> tehk: intel graphics right?
[16:05] <dakira> greenleaf: check the wiki for the exact procedure
[16:05] <UBUNTUISLOVED> phatnutz: restarts the gnome interface screen
[16:05] <bazhang> azexian: installed from where?
[16:05] <bltzfsck> would someone please point me to the best docs for making a wireless connection from my ubuntu box?
[16:05] <greenleaf> thanks!
[16:05] <blackb2> my ethernet is 1Ghz dosn't work correctly with a 10Mb ethernet
[16:05] <Rainarrow> UBUNTUISLOVED: I have them removed already
[16:05] <u007-1> www.linuxwireless.org
[16:05] <MrObvious> azexian: Flash works here on Gnome just fine.
[16:05] <UBUNTUISLOVED> !wireless > bltzfsck
[16:05] <azexian> tried both the cvs and the deb, both install and run, but don't work
[16:05] <MrObvious> azexian: Do you have 64 bit?
[16:05] <dakira> does anyone know in which file samba saves its users (dapper)?
[16:05] <Rainarrow> UBUNTUISLOVED: and killed X, then stop/restarted the GDM
[16:05] <azexian> yes
[16:05] <azexian> but I have flash
[16:05] <azexian> I want to create flash

[16:06] <u007-1> hi, anyone know how to install gtk2.8 with apt-get on gutsy 7,1?
[16:06] <MrObvious> azexian: Wow never tried that. lol IDK sorry.

[16:06] <Rainarrow> UBUNTUISLOVED: ok it's my bad
[16:06] <bltzfsck> u007-1: i tried the ndiswapper route and it said the driver that came on the cd with the device was the wrong driver.  any idea why that might be?
[16:07] <Rainarrow> seems X automatically override my xorg.conf with a failsafe one
[16:07] <MrObvious> u007-1: sudo apt-get install gtk-2.8 ?
[16:07] <azexian> has anyone tried f4l on kubuntu? does it work there? I just wander if I'm missing a lib
[16:07] <ToxicSoul2> Hmm and a good 70% of the time it seems ubuntu fails at "Setting up the partitioner"
[16:07] <blackb2> i past the log
[16:07] <xomp> hi everybody :) could someone tell me how I can remote desktop from my windows XP machine into my Ubuntu box? Thanks
[16:07] <u007-1> bltzfsck: are you running broadcom chipset?
[16:07] <azexian> xomp, you can use vnc
[16:07] <u007-1> mrobvious: can't...
[16:08] <phatnutz> UBUNTUISLOVED - thanks for the advice, the command to restart the gnome interface needed an argument, I tried reset but it didn't help.  then I tried reload, it killed the current interface but failed restarting.  I just tried startx and got an interface...
[16:08] <bltzfsck> u007-1: no, it's ralink
[16:08] <masteroc> why would ettercap not detect my eth0 interface?
[16:08] <genii> azexian: Since flash is a proprietary format owned by Adobe and they have not released any source code for it,any programs which use it other than theirs by neccesity need to be reverse-engineered.
[16:08] <xomp> azexian, I have tightvnc installed on my XP machine, I just can't figure out how to use it to connect to this ubuntu box.
[16:08] <blackb2> nfs: server 10.193.101.100 not responding, still trying      nfs: server 10.193.101.100 OK
[16:08] <tehk> crdlb: http://pastebin.com/m63e0f730
[16:08] <bltzfsck> u007-1: will broadcom work out of the box?
[16:09] <blackb2> it loop with this error
[16:09] <bltzfsck> u007-1: i got the thing at fry's, so it can definitely go back
[16:09] <phatnutz> YAY MY INSTALL STARTED!!  Good luck all
[16:09] <azexian> genii, f4l looks excellent, but it doesn't work on gnome, don't know if it works on kde, xomp, there are many howto's search 'vnc windows linux'
[16:09] <u007-1> bltzfsck: i've encountered some problem, but managed to found the driver online based on the file which came out the problem
[16:09] <Rainarrow> UBUNTUISLOVED: I'd like to thanks you in advance of the problem get solved, cuz u seems to be really busy ;)
[16:09] <xomp> !vnc
[16:09] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[16:09] <blackb2> i have the last kernel version
[16:10] <crdlb> tehk: you have the nvidia driver installed
[16:10] <bltzfsck> u007-1: i downloaded the latest driver from ralink and it was the same file as the one on the disk
[16:10] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: did you add that and restart X?
[16:10] <crdlb> tehk: specifically nvidia-glx-new
[16:10] <masteroc> anyone have experience with ettercap?
[16:10] <masteroc> it wont detect my network interfaces
[16:10] <blackb2> does anyone could help me?
[16:10] <bardyr> !FreeNX
[16:10] <ubotu> FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[16:10] <crdlb> tehk: so sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx-new
[16:10] <erUSUL> !anyone | blackb2
[16:10] <ubotu> blackb2: 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?
[16:10] <bltzfsck> u007-1: also tried to compile the thing, but it's been a few years since i tried that sort of thing, and i seem to have lost my touch
[16:10] <u007-1> bltzfck: i'm not sure about ndiswrapper
[16:11] <tehk> crdlb: Ah thanks I used a package list to clone installs on 5 PCs that explains it. Thank you!
[16:11] <azexian> lol, !ubotu is very annoying :p
[16:11] <Rainarrow> UBUNTUISLOVED: I added the Hsync, restarted X, and got a "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" box, then I restored my original xorg.conf, but currently is still getting that box on this full restart I just tried
[16:11] <bltzfsck> u007-1: but ubuntu likes broadcom?
[16:11] <u007-1> bltzfck: i kind of forgot, but if you are using broadcom, there have the driver somewhere :)
[16:11] <blackb2> when i try to mount with nfs i have thet error nfs: server 10.193.101.100 OK  nfs: server 10.193.101.100 not responding, still trying
[16:11] <azexian> !flash
[16:11] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[16:11] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[16:11] <crdlb> tehk: unfortunately the nvidia driver cannot coexist with anything else :)
[16:11] <azexian> !f4l
[16:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about f4l - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[16:12] <u007-1> i need gtk2.8 :(
[16:12] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.
[16:12] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: you sure it can handle that resoultion?
[16:12] <xomp> azexian, my google results end up being "How to remote desktop from ubuntu to XP" when I'm needing the opposite :(
[16:12] <azexian> hang on, I'll take a look :p
[16:13] <Rainarrow> UBUNTUISLOVED: sure, it's a 21 inch CRT, I always used that resolution in Windows, for it's proper 4:3
[16:13] <Rainarrow> UBUNTUISLOVED: it could even handle 1600x1200@85
[16:13] <ToxicSoul2> xomp just install a vncviewer in XP and then system->pref->remote desktop
[16:13] <ceil420> i want a 21" CRT :o
[16:13] <UBUNTUISLOVED> i want a 21" LCD
[16:13] <khamael> what are the numbers (like (200) in the seed section in azureus?
[16:14] <Rainarrow> lol
[16:14] <ceil420> enjoy your lack of true blacks and fail native resolutions
[16:14] <Rainarrow> actually it's currently running 1280x1024
[16:14] <anon19> i want to ditch a monitor and get a projector and have the entire wall be my screen...
[16:14] <ToxicSoul2> xomp then you ssh to ubuntu, create a ssh tunnel for port 5900 then vncview localhost
[16:14] <xomp> ToxicSoul2, ok, I've done that now, how would I enter the address in tightvnc on the XP machine?
[16:14] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: CTRL+ALT++
[16:14] <Rainarrow> but I'd like to use correct 4:3 resolutions
[16:14] <sipior> ceil420: enjoy your sore back after a move ;-)
[16:14] <ceil420> anon19, i wouldn't mind havin' a 10' screen myself :p
[16:14] <bltzfsck> another question: i used to have a parameter in my grub configuration vga=791, which gave me a nice tight display running in text mode, but i couldn't get it to work on the new install.  what's the syntax?
[16:14] <ToxicSoul2> xomp just enter its ip..
[16:14] <ceil420> lol sipior; i'm over the age of 10, i can handle carrying a CRT :p
[16:15] <ToxicSoul2> xomp you can get the ip using ifconfig in the terminal
[16:15] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/04/30/how-to-increase-the-screen-resolutions-available-to-ubuntu-while-running-in-parallels-for-os-x/
[16:15] <sipior> ceil420: and under the age of 30, i would guess. give it time :)
[16:15] <ceil420> lol true
[16:15] <xomp> ToxicSoul2, ok, so put the ip in tightvnc and it should work?
[16:15] <ToxicSoul2> xomp, yes if you've set it up right
[16:16] <azexian> has anyone used uira?
[16:16] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ceil420: can you handle a 10' CRT ?
[16:16] <ceil420> UBUNTUISLOVED, with a crane :o
[16:16] <ToxicSoul2> !vnc > xomp
[16:16] <xomp> hah thanks it worked :D
[16:17] <ToxicSoul2> np
[16:17] <calc> a 24" LCD is pretty close to the limit of easy to view space
[16:17] <Joe_> ... so small...
[16:17] <calc> dual head 24" puts the seam in the wrong place for ergonomics
[16:17] <Rainarrow> ...
[16:17] <ceil420> nah, i can take a 30" :p
[16:17] <Rainarrow> there's 10'' CRT?
[16:17] <calc> triple head might work well though
[16:17] <Joe_> computer 1 = 20" wide, computer 2 = 20" wide, 22" wide, 22" wide, 20" wide
[16:18] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: 10 inch yes
[16:18] <calc> ceil420: two 24" side by side are too wide, but 3 with the side 2 angled might work ok
[16:18] <ceil420> my sole monitor is a 17" CRT :x hp mx70
[16:18] <u007-1> hi, is it possible to add other version of ubuntu like dapper into gutsy repo?
[16:18] <UBUNTUISLOVED> u007-1: why do you ask what are you installing
[16:18] <Joe_> I love my "wrap around your head" set up
[16:18] <anon19> I'd say it depends on what you use it for.
[16:19] <calc> u007-1: your question doesn't make sense
[16:19] <u007-1> i need gtk2.8...
[16:19] <calc> u007-1: the dapper repo has dapper the gutsy repo has gutsy
[16:19] <anon19> Two monitors can be handy, even if they're difficult to view, if you're not using both at once.
[16:19] <UBUNTUISLOVED> u007-1: for what package?
[16:19] <ceil420> calc, i think ideal for me would be a main 21"+ screen front and center, a 17-20" screen off to the side for stuff like GIMP and Firefox, and a little 12-15" for 'utilities' (sys info etc)
[16:19] <u007-1> i'm planning to install php-gtk 2.0
[16:19] <sethk> anon19, when I do development, I put the app on one monitor and the dev tools on the other
[16:19] <u007-1> which requires gtk 2.6 or above
[16:20] <calc> i think i will probably end up giving my wife one of my 24" lcds since i rarely use them since they are too wide together
[16:20] <ceil420> oh, or one big IMAX setup XD
[16:20] <sethk> ceil420, I find it much better if both screens have the same resolution and size.
[16:20] <u007-1> or else, i will need php4 for the old phpgtk1.0.. but its also not available on gutsy
[16:20] <phatnutz> anyone have any input on wether or not softwre raid 1 is a good idea for my mythbuntu box?
[16:20] <UBUNTUISLOVED> u007-1: cant you use an older version of php-gtk or do a vmware instance?
[16:20] <sethk> ceil420, one IMAX is far superior to two monitors of different sizes
[16:20] <anon19> sethk: would that I had the video capabilities to do that...
[16:20] <PowerJC> i have a duron 1600 256 mb ram, which is better for installation the live cd or the alternative cd
[16:20] <ceil420> sethk, yeah XD
[16:20] <calc> ceil420: i've found off to the side hard to read which was why i was mentioning angling might help
[16:20] <Rainarrow> UBUNTUISLOVED: I tried a dpkg-reconfigure, and this should revert me to the "ati" driver right?
[16:21] <calc> ceil420: at least at the 24" size
[16:21] <u007-1> ubuntuisloved: yes, but the older version need php4... but gutsy doesn't have php4, only php5
[16:21] <UBUNTUISLOVED> Rainarrow: well it might not
[16:21] <ceil420> phatnutz, if redundancy is that important to you, go for it
[16:21] <Rainarrow> and I'm actually not trying to "increase" resolution
[16:21] <calc> two 24" lcd's beside each other is nearly 48" wide of video
[16:21] <ceil420> calc, where can i get a 24" CRT? :o
[16:21] <calc> ceil420: i have two 24" 1920x1200 LCDs
[16:21] <Rainarrow> ceil420: you could try to grab a SONY FW900
[16:21] <azexian> anyone know anything about flash creation on ubuntu?
[16:21] <genii> azexian: This one looks promising http://osflash.org/ames there are ubuntu-centric instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664277
[16:21]  * ceil420 googles
[16:21] <azexian> excelletn, thankyou :)
[16:21] <calc> ceil420: but yea Sony and Iiyama made 24" widescreen CRTs iirc
[16:21] <Sichae> I have a rather large question/situation.
[16:22] <calc> ceil420: maybe NEC also
[16:22] <phatnutz> my bead, I meant raid0 for data access
[16:22] <Rainarrow> ceil420: that's the best CRT to my knowledge, lol, I have another SONY GDM-F500, which is also a 21''
[16:22] <phatnutz> *bad

[16:22] <ceil420> geeez
[16:22] <ceil420> other places got 'em $700+
[16:22] <anon19> Ouch.
[16:22] <Rainarrow> ..
[16:22] <bkar> to those that have dual core or quad cores, can you notice the speed boost compared to single core? do you have to assign task to each core to get the boost effect ?
[16:22] <azexian> excellgenii: I think those might be more about actionscript?
[16:22] <UBUNTUISLOVED> u007-1: that will allow you to develop in that vmplayer without hurting anything
[16:22] <dissident> i formatted a sata disc (for putting data on it) with gparted but now i have no permissions to put things on it
[16:23] <ceil420> i saw a 21" CRT on craigslist for $15 ^^
[16:23] <Rainarrow> I'm pretty sure it's already discontinued
[16:23] <calc> bkar: helps in some cases
[16:23] <dissident> although i can mount it using root pass but still cannot write to it
[16:23] <azexian> genii:*
[16:23] <calc> ceil420: CRT quality varies just like LCD
[16:23] <Rainarrow> so does any one here actually use a ATi card with a CRT running 1280x960?
[16:23] <calc> ceil420: a FW900 is not a $15 monitor
[16:23] <Rainarrow> since I know no LCD runs at this resolution
[16:23] <jrib> dissident: #ubuntu for support
[16:23] <ceil420> calc, true :p
[16:23] <bkar> calc-> only in some case? i am wondering in normal use, if the difference is observed?
[16:23] <dissident> can someone tell me how to put data on /dev/sdb1
[16:23] <phatnutz> if I wanted to use a raid strip array in my mythbuntu distro, would it be posisble to create the partitions from theinstaller?
[16:23] <anon19> Rainarrow: I used to, not anymore.
[16:24] <u007-1> ubuntuislove: wow... entire image
[16:24] <ceil420> calc, also, people upgrade to shiny new LCDs and don't think their 10 year old CRT's are worth very much, so just sell 'em for dirt cheap even though they work just fine
[16:24] <Sichae> For a couple years now, I've been wanting to get into linux and whatnot and with recent problems with Windows XP, I am looking at a new OS. I found ubuntu and have it burned to a disc and whatnot, but I am experiencing problems when trying to install ubuntu from the disc (even run the live CD).  So I tried using wubi and it seemed to work, but during the initial load bar screen, it cuts out...
[16:24] <Rainarrow> anon19: thanks you, could you tell me r u using the ati or the fglrx driver?
[16:24] <Sichae> ...and goes to text, I see a final line of "User Login" or something like that. Then the screen goes black and nothing happens afterwards. Any ideas? I don't wish to sound like a complete dunce.
[16:24] <dissident> jrib:well isn't this ubuntu
[16:24] <Rainarrow> anon19: and, did u need to do any extra tweak to get that resolution working?
[16:24] <calc> ceil420: yea that is true :)
[16:24] <jrib> dissident: oh sorry, you are in #ubuntu.  It is me that is in the wrong place :)  What filesystem
[16:24] <sipior> phatnutz: sure. i think there's even a raid setup "assistant" in the gutsy installer
[16:24] <anon19> Rainarrow: I was using the ATI driver.
[16:24] <u007-1> ubuntuislove: thank you :) but i really need it on my system...
[16:24] <calc> ceil420: I have an IBM P260 which is very nice but haven't used it since I bought the 2 24" LCDs a few years ago
[16:24] <dissident> jrib: ext3
[16:24] <r3r333rrrR> motherfuckers
[16:24] <fuq> lol
[16:25] <bkar> ceil420-> us in california must pay 8 bux for recycling fees each time you purchase a monitor
[16:25] <anon19> Rainarrow: And no, no tweaking, really. But that was a while ago...
[16:25] <ph|ber> anyone have epiphany crash on 7.10 64bit?? i cant even get it to come up.
[16:25] <sipior> Tourette's syndrome is a crippling affliction
[16:25] <phatnutz> sipior how do I fins that "assistant"?  unless I'm missing sdomehting really obviouis(very possible) it's not there...
[16:25] <jrib> dissident: what does 'ls -ld /path/to/mount/point' return?
[16:25] <dissident> i just want this drive to be mounted and writeable when i boot up
[16:25] <Rainarrow> argh, it's strange
[16:25] <leagris> Having standard C knowledge. What online resources would you recommand to help me setup and use a complete (integrated) GNU programming environment with online browsable libraries documentations (not having to grep load of header files), easy setup of autoconf, gettext, getopt, debugging, packaging, project managment. I'v tryed Eclipse but it can't help display required libraries function documentations and needed headers, managing po translat
[16:25] <leagris> ion, gengetopts, autoconf... Any help on available guides on setting a proper environment and guilds on using this altogather is welcome.
[16:25] <DIL_> hey i am trying to burn a cd, but i get a prompt to insert a RW or Blank disc. i am using new discs
[16:25] <ceil420> bkar, pfft. that's fucked up. in this day of modern computer, people actually do use more than one monitor every once in a while
[16:25] <anon19> Actually, does anyone here have any experience in taking apart CRTs?
[16:25] <sipior> phatnutz: i seem to remember it being available at the manual partition stage
[16:26] <Rainarrow> 1280x 1024, 1600x1200 and 1024x768 all worked perfectly
[16:26] <bkar> phatnutz-> are you installing it to a RAID now? am curious, how that goes, if ubuntu also uses LVM like fedora does
[16:26] <Rainarrow> it just won't run 1280x960
[16:26] <Rainarrow> which is my fav resolution
[16:26] <pure`eigenVector> ya 1280x960 is hot
[16:26] <sipior> phatnutz: perhaps i'm mistaken. it's easy enough to add it in later, as long as you've already made the partitions
[16:26] <Rainarrow> it could even run 1280x960@100 under Windows
[16:26] <r3r333rrrR> sorry that was the wrong window
[16:26] <logyati> hello
[16:26] <DIL_> hey i am trying to burn a cd, but i get a prompt to insert a RW or Blank disc. i am using new discs
[16:26] <jrib> r3r333rrrR: watch your language here
[16:26] <ceil420> 1280x1024 is my favourite for now, but i want bigger :x
[16:26] <ceil420> this monitor won't go any higher
[16:26] <dissident> jrib:/dev/sdb1
[16:26] <sipior> r3r333rrrR: we're down to our last bar of soap
[16:27] <anon19> I've got nine in my garage that I'd like to take apart and get the parts out of, but I'm a little worried about safety concerns.
[16:27] <logyati> is there a way to execute a script every time an user logout from gnome?
[16:27] <jrib> dissident: have you mounted it?
[16:27] <tanath> my desktop is nonexistent. how can i get it back?
[16:27] <tanath> tried logging out & back
[16:27] <l3ttuc3> when i get the ubuntu-restricted-extras, some of the .deb files contain scripts to 'wget' certain tarballs, and some .EXE packages containing MS truetype fonts. where are those stored prior to installation?
[16:27] <bkar> ceil420-> i know, another 8 bux down the tube...which sometimes i dont mind, because jerks seems to find my area to dump old pc because of the open space and they know i dont look out the window with a shotgun
[16:27] <Rainarrow> ceil420: I'd like things to be in 4:3 aspect ratio, lol
[16:27] <jrib> tanath: you mean your icons don't show up?
[16:27] <phatnutz> bkar I'll let you know what I find but I'm having a hard time with a decision - I have two identical 80 gb sata drives.  I don't know if I should put liveTV there for speed, or if I should but the root partition, apps and or swap there.  any input?
[16:27] <dissident> i can do that by right clicking on it and using the root passwd
[16:27] <ceil420> lol bkar
[16:27] <LjL> l3ttuc3: not sure, but likely in /tmp
[16:27] <dissident> but then i still cannot write to that disk
[16:27] <tanath> jrib, right. no icons, no wallpaper, no response to right click
[16:27] <anon19> Rainarrow: @100? Arr. This thing only runs at 60. I can see the refresh...
[16:28] <ceil420> Rainarrow, i just need more space :x 16:10/4:3 doesn't matter that much
[16:28] <logyati> is there a way to execute a script every time an user logout from gnome?
[16:28] <azexian> tanath: how did you do that!
[16:28] <genii> azexian: From what I can discern you compile xml code into the swf
[16:28] <bkar> phatnutz-> have a separate /boot partition, dont put in LVM
[16:28] <l3ttuc3> LjL tried there, no dice, the files are gone. i was hoping to save them for a rainy day, in case i have problems connecting to the net or something while reinstalling.
[16:28] <jrib> dissident: ok, you'll want to create a mount point for it and set it up in your fstab.  Let me know if you have any questions on how to do that after reading the link ubotu gives you:
[16:28] <jrib> !fstab > dissident (read the private message from ubotu)
[16:28] <sipior> phatnutz: are you really i/o limited for this digital recording?
[16:28] <r3r333rrrR> yes jrib , i said i was sorry
[16:28] <tanath> azexian, well, my computer blew up... that might have done it, lol. had to buy a new power supply
[16:28] <pure`eigenVector> help! I'm trying to mount an NTFS drive but gives me the error: Unexpected clusters per mft record (-127) failed to mount!
[16:29] <azexian> genii: ok, I'll look into, thanks, I am trying to preduce very simple swf files, like from flash, I don't need anything like actionscript, I will try this now, thanks
[16:29] <tanath> azexian, jrib , but it worked before, even after that
[16:29] <jrib> tanath: what does the following return: gconftool-2 -g /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop
[16:29] <azexian> tantath, fair enough :p
[16:29] <Rainarrow> anon19: yeah I can't stand anything below 75
[16:29] <Rainarrow> anon19: but once it get to 85 it's all ok
[16:29] <phatnutz> sipior from what perspective?  capture wil be done via firewire from my comcast dvr, so I expect a lot of dta coming in.  There's also a chance I may be doing analaog capture at the same time
[16:29] <tanath> jrib, true
[16:29] <Rainarrow> anon19: there's no real difference between 85 and 100, lol
[16:29] <dissident> jrib: there is no line in fstab for that drive, what now
[16:29] <Rainarrow> ceil420: 16:9 is ok for me, I just hate these non-standard 5:4/16:10
[16:29] <jrib> tanath: open an instance of nautilus
[16:30] <jrib> dissident: add one
[16:30] <tanath> jrib, it seems it doesn't want to run
[16:30] <ceil420> i don't know what people are trippin' on with refresh rates; 60Hz doesn't bother me, and never has
[16:30] <jrib> tanath: nautilus does not want to run?
[16:30] <dissident> jrib: i  did that and have to come back in failsafe
[16:30] <LjL> ceil420: perhaps you're on an LCD?
[16:30] <tanath> jrib, trying from terminal now
[16:30] <jrib> dissident: pastebin what you did
[16:30] <jrib> !paste | dissident
[16:30] <ubotu> dissident: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[16:30] <ceil420> LjL, nope. never owned one
[16:30] <genii> ceil420: If you are in north america where the wall outlet frequency is 60Hz and you work near fluorescent lights 60Hz refresh gives you massive migraines
[16:30] <artmoonik> hello does someone use libmtp7 on gutsy for a creative zen please ?
[16:30] <DIL_> hey i am trying to burn a cd, but i get a prompt to insert a RW or Blank disc. i am using new discs
[16:30] <bkar> phatnutz-> kind of interesting to find what you will get working, all these new hdtv gadgets, hdmi, blue ray stuff, hope you write a tutorial or blog to say your experiences
[16:31] <dissident> jrib:i just put in same line as my other drive (which i boot from)
[16:31] <ceil420> genii, ah, well i don't have fluorescent lights :p
[16:31] <sipior> phatnutz: hmm...well, with two applications writing simultaneously, i suppose striping can't hurt. there is the greater risk of total data loss, but i assume that's not a problem for you
[16:31] <jrib> dissident: pastebin it so I can see please
[16:31] <tanath> jrib, it seems to hang. there's no output
[16:31] <azexian> tanath: you could try nautilus --replace, and if not the perhaps you need to reinstall, try: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop nautilus
[16:31] <LjL> ceil420: then you have some pretty non-average eyesight... 60Hz *is* hard to bear for most people on moderately sized monitors. also, i think you should keep in mind that it can cause eyestrain even if you don't notice it
[16:32] <jrib> tanath: does it happen with a newly created user?
[16:32] <sipior> phatnutz: but then again, why only 2 80GB drives? that won't leave you much room
[16:32] <phatnutz> lol - got a sdtv with a happaughe pvr 150 running baout 2 years ago and have had intermittent linux experience over cloase to 10 years - but I've never been very advanced in any of this so a tutorial that I wite might be garbage
[16:32] <phatnutz> lol
[16:32] <tanath> azexian, i believe i already did reinstall it. i reinstalled lots of things to be safe
[16:32]  * Rainarrow agree with LjL
[16:32] <bkar> lol
[16:32] <tanath> azexian, Unknown option --replace
[16:32] <azexian> tanath, that's strange, nautilus --replace should always work...
[16:32] <azexian> tanath, soz I mean metacity --replace
[16:32] <l3ttuc3> LjL do agree with you about 60Hz, but most monitors come in that flavour.
[16:33] <phatnutz> sipior - my winblows system was there, striped for speed.  I was thinking that that the combined total of 160GB on a striped voluem would be a good temporry location for incoming recordings.  Then they could be moveds to my nas for long term storage
[16:33] <tanath> jrib, gah.. don't care to create another user, anything else to try first?
[16:33] <ToxicSoul2> 57Hz here..
[16:33] <ceil420> LjL, maybe i'm odd, but 15-17" CRT @ 60Hz has never bothered me. i'm more bothered by the fact that i can see the pixels of LCD's native resolution (little squares covering the screen... distracting as hell)
[16:33] <dissident> jrib:/dev/sdb1 ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[16:33] <genii> l3ttuc3: Yes it's unfortunate. They should all do at least 72
[16:33] <tanath> azexian, running compiz, but it and metacity run fine
[16:33] <sipior> phatnutz: sure, that'd work
[16:33] <azexian> tanath, erm...
[16:34] <Rainarrow> ceil420: on a moderately high-resolution LCD I don't really think you could see the pixels unless you watch very closely
[16:34] <jrib> dissident: delete that line
[16:34] <l3ttuc3> genii how does that compare on an LCD screen, i have a feeling i read somewhere they don't refresh the same way as CRT monitors?
[16:34] <Rainarrow> ceil420: but I do like CRT, cuz they could display just any resolution
[16:34] <MrObvious> ceil420: CRTs hurt my eyes now after using a nice flat panel 17" laptop for a few weeks.
[16:34] <dissident> already did that in failsafe cause i couldn't log in no more
[16:34] <jrib> dissident: now, what would you like the mount point for the drive to be?
[16:34] <jrib> !who | dissident
[16:34] <ubotu> dissident: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[16:34] <tanath> azexian, it's not the WM
[16:34] <Rainarrow> it's not like a LCD, which could only run one native resolution
[16:34] <ceil420> Rainarrow, my friend has a 15" and a 17" LCD, and i can sit there and count pixels in both :x i don't know what their native res's are
[16:34] <MrObvious> ceil420: Of course it's 1920x1200 so pixelation isn't a problem unless I do like 800x600.
[16:35] <tanath> azexian, it appears to be nautilus. it's responsible for the desktop
[16:35] <anon11> ceil420: I've always preferred CRTs but had to switch to an LCD due to space restrictions...
[16:35] <phatnutz> siphor - I also have a 120 gb and 200 gb PATA ide drive in that system.  I'd like to keep one of them free fro a possble windoze dual boot down the road.  will I find my system slow if I only use one drive for the root. boot and swap volumes?
[16:35] <Rainarrow> ceil420: I guess 17''s has 1024x768 or 1280x1024
[16:35] <ceil420> MrObvious, i hate everything about laptops, except for their portability :x the screen, the keyboard, the fact that the screen is attached to the keyboard, etc
[16:35] <MrObvious> phatnutz: When you run Windows, yes.
[16:35] <azexian> tanath: you could try making a new test user to see if it's a bad config somewhere
[16:35] <dissident> jrib:desktop if possible
[16:35] <ceil420> anon11, my condolences :x i'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming into next-gen displays ;)
[16:35]  * bkar feels older, haft to throw away his vt100 terminals..heh
[16:35] <Rainarrow> ceil420: on my Thinkpad T43 laptop w/ 1400x1050 I could barely see any pixels ;)
[16:35] <phatnutz> since I was on 32 bit windoze before, I expect that 64 bit ubuntu should be fast even if it's on a 7200 rpm PATA drive..
[16:35] <l3ttuc3> high resolution LCD would not be a problem, i wish my laptop had it, it's noticeably more tiring to look at it at 1280x800 than, say to look at a mac at 1440x??? thereabouts.
[16:35] <MrObvious> ceil420: My laptop is nice though. It's a Dell Vostro 1700 and it even has a number pad.
[16:35] <sipior> phatnutz: i doubt it. unless you plan on swapping a lot :)
[16:36] <tanath> azexian, *sigh*. that's a PITA
[16:36] <jrib> dissident: how about /media/sdb1 and you can create a symlink on your desktop to it afterwards?  Or do you actually want sdb1 to be your desktop?
[16:36] <l3ttuc3> my cousin had a dell laptop with a 1600x1200 resolution which was just amazing.
[16:36] <ceil420> MrObvious, don't think i've ever seen a laptop with a numpad :o it still has that dorky touchpad, or the nipple mouse ;x
[16:36] <Rainarrow> yeah, hi-res is tiring to look at
[16:36] <genii> bkar: If you actually have vt100 terminals send a memo to user Minataku instead of throwing them out, he collects archaic computer things :)
[16:36] <l3ttuc3> Rainarrow isnt that only if you use small fonts?
[16:36] <phatnutz> alright, lets see iof I can get this monster going.  It's on my gaming rig conencted to the samsung HDTV in the living room, so I'll be poppong back in to the bedroom computer to check here every so often.  thanks for your help guys
[16:36] <MrObvious> phatnutz: I'm on 64 bit and I can't really say if it's faster or not because I've only had Ubuntu on here really. But the biggest thing is getting Firefox to work with Flash and Java.
[16:36] <dissident> jrib: your suggestion of /media/sdb1 is fine
[16:37] <dissident> jrib: just tell me what to do
[16:37] <azexian> tanath, it's the easiest thing you can do to test, because it would show if it was user based, or something more serious, it will only be a 50MB, if not, then you could just do rm ~/.gnome* but you would use any custom settings
[16:37] <Rainarrow> l3ttuc3: but most of the fonts are bitmap ones
[16:37] <phatnutz> MrObvious - that's why I'm trying to leave a 200gb drive avaiable for windoze ;)
[16:37] <moonlite> phatnutz: its windows
[16:37] <Rainarrow> l3ttuc3: which would be a little ugly if upscaled
[16:37] <azexian> tanath rm -rf ~/.gnome* or rm -rf ~/.nautilus*
[16:37] <moonlite> you spelled it wrong
[16:37] <bkar> genii-> okay will do, may cost him a bundle though for shipping
[16:37] <l3ttuc3> Rainarrow eh? what? on ubuntu?
[16:38] <brobostigon> good afternoon
[16:38] <l3ttuc3> Rainarrow im using bitstream vera sans for everything, and that looks pretty crisp.
[16:38] <wyclif> good morning everyone
[16:38] <genii> bkar: At least he'll have had the chance to know :)
[16:38] <jrib> dissident: ok, if you do not want to use UUID to identify the partition, then add the following to your fstab: /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ext3 defaults 0 2
[16:38] <Rainarrow> l3ttuc3: actually I'm mentioning Windows, on Ubuntu it's basically all ok on my 14.1'' 1400x1050 SXGA+
[16:38] <anon11> good morning
[16:38] <Rainarrow> l3ttuc3: yeah I also liked bitstream fonts
[16:38] <phatnutz> ps, mrobvious - with  a lot of processer and memory power, youmay want to try using a virtual machine to emulate a 32 bit windows envireonment, just for stuff that gives you troube in a 64 bit environment
[16:38] <Rainarrow> l3ttuc3: also the Bitstream Sans Mono, for the terminal
[16:38] <brobostigon> g0ju: moin
[16:38] <Rainarrow> l3ttuc3: it looks great
[16:39] <dissident> jrib: it's the same to me, i just want to write to that disk
[16:39] <l3ttuc3> Rainarrow i wish i had that resolution on my laptop at least. in general, ubuntu looks a lot nicer than windows xp/vista, which is why it's what im using just now.
[16:39] <g0ju> ho
[16:39] <jrib> dissident: ok, let me know when that is done
[16:39] <l3ttuc3> Rainarrow indeed.
[16:39] <l3ttuc3> you nailed my visual configuration.
[16:39] <frojnd> helloo guys. How can I paste a couple of C lines in VI ?
[16:39] <l3ttuc3> it is so much nicer than the usual arial installment.
[16:39] <Rainarrow> l3ttuc3: XP is ok for me, Vista is huge, slow and stupid in general lol
[16:39] <jrib> frojnd: p
[16:39] <anon11> phatnutz: where can I get a decent virtual machine that could do so? I like to run ancient programs, and they don't handle 64 bit well.
[16:40] <jrib> frojnd: you should run through 'vimtutor'
[16:40] <Rainarrow> frojnd: you could also try to right on the terminal and use its paste function
[16:40] <ToxicSoul2> man.. I can't get ubuntu to boot for the life of me
[16:40] <ToxicSoul2> every other machine it works fine on
[16:40] <Rainarrow> actually I'm also a little confused on Vim's "global clip board" thing
[16:40] <l3ttuc3> Rainarrow i liked the looks of vista. then thought about how much better compiz fusion would look, and after finding out that every time i booted up vista 500MB of my hard disk disappeared, got annoyed, went back to XP just about long enough to download ubuntu and install it.
[16:41] <haxality> hi, I was wondering how to change back to the standard monospace font shown during boot-up, if possible
[16:41] <Rainarrow> argh, UBUNTUISLOVED has left..
[16:41] <anon11> l3ttuc3: I just figured if I wanted a nice-looking UI I'd try a mac... Vista didn't seem to offer much to me.
[16:41] <phatnutz> anon11 I'm not up on WINE, but I do know that vmware has an industry leading VM server freely available with a support community available for many playforms, including linux
[16:41] <haxality> I have a widescreen display and it looks weird with the font displayed when you turn off the 'splash' option
[16:42] <imilinuxos> hello all
[16:42] <Rainarrow> I'm still managing to get my X stared after I modified the xorg.conf as he told me lol
[16:42] <dissident> jrib: /dev/sdb1       /media/sdb1                               ext3    defaults        0       2
[16:42] <l3ttuc3> anon11 i think one of the reasons why macs look so good is that their displays are invariably higher resolutions, and are easier on the eyes, besides, mac hardware always look a little stylish.
[16:42] <Rainarrow> anon11 and l3ttuc3, MAC is good generally
[16:42] <dissident> jrib:is that ok
[16:42] <l3ttuc3> now they're just hacked up x86s with heavily customised *nix.
[16:42] <calc> vista got a lot faster for me after upgrading from 1gb -> 4gb ram
[16:42] <anon11> phatnutz: thanks.
[16:42] <ToxicSoul2> and now it stops at... sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/16x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
[16:42] <ToxicSoul2> fun.
[16:42] <calc> of course its still vista though
[16:42] <brobostigon> mac os x
[16:43] <Rainarrow> calc: wow, RAM is really cheap now lol
[16:43] <jrib> dissident: yes that's fine.  Now, unmount sdb1 if you have mounted it through nautilus, then execute 'sudo mkdir /media/sdb1'
[16:43] <l3ttuc3> Rainarrow macbooks were made by Asus up till very recently, or still are.
[16:43] <anon11> ...it's a 19! Not an 11...
[16:43] <Rainarrow> calc: my T43 only goes up to 2GB
[16:43] <l3ttuc3> which kinda sucks, cos my asus laptop does not have anywhere near that resolution hehehe.
[16:43] <calc> Rainarrow: i put 4GB in my laptop but it only lets me use 3.3GB of it, even when using amd64 arch
[16:43] <Rainarrow> l3ttuc3: really? I guess it's just for manufacturing, many electronics are built in China or Taiwan
[16:43] <phatnutz> LiveCD installer question - how do I set up a SOFTWARE RAID 1 array during setup?
[16:43] <calc> Rainarrow: the bios on my laptop must be crap :-\
[16:43] <Rainarrow> l3ttuc3: like FOXCONN, ASUS
[16:44] <soldats> calc, your video card mey be using some of the memory
[16:44] <l3ttuc3> Rainarrow, check out the wikipedia article on asus or macbooks, it's in one of them.
[16:44] <genii> !shared
[16:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shared - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:44] <Tuco_> yo!
[16:44] <calc> soldats: its an i945 iirc it doesn't pre-reserve much
[16:44] <genii> Hmm
[16:44] <Rainarrow> calc: it's mostly the prob with your chipset
[16:44] <dissident> jrib: done that
[16:44] <brobostigon> phatnutz: you need the alternate install cd for that, the live installer wont do it.
[16:44] <jrib> dissident: now type 'sudo mount -a'
[16:44] <soldats> calc, did you run memtest and make sure everything is detected
[16:44] <calc> Rainarrow: hmm probably so, iirc intel x86_64 doesn't have the special mmu so they might all have that memory hole, not really sure
[16:44] <l3ttuc3> Rainarrow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus under 'History'.
[16:45] <l3ttuc3> last paragraph.
[16:45] <calc> soldats: even memtest only sees ~ 3.3GB
[16:45] <jrib> Rainarrow, l3ttuc3: can you move the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please?
[16:45] <dissident> jrib:done
[16:45] <soldats> wow chip set problem?
[16:45] <anon11> Well anyways, I'm trying to figure out whether to dual-boot XP with Ubuntu or dual-boot with Xubuntu. Any advice?
[16:45] <l3ttuc3> jrib ok. sorry.
[16:45] <calc> soldats: thats probably normal for ia32 but x86_64 should work around it
[16:45] <calc> soldats: i945 chipset
[16:45] <phatnutz> brobostigon - is there an alternate CD available for MythBuntu?  I read somewhere that it doesn't exist...
[16:45] <soldats> true i wonder why it wont
[16:45] <jrib> dissident: ok, now we need to set permissions on the partition.  See ubotu's link and let me know what permissions you want if you are not sure how to set them:
[16:46] <sam__> can somebody help me (im a noob), play around w/ pwmconfig to get my fan speed lowered
[16:46] <sam__> its really loud
[16:46] <brobostigon> phatnutz: for mythbuntu, no idea, but ubuntu / kubuntu / xubuntu do.
[16:46] <calc> soldats: its either a bios pci relocation issue or a chipset issue
[16:46] <jrib> dissident: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[16:46] <Rainarrow> jrib: I'm sorry
[16:46] <Rainarrow> Sorry for offtopic guys
[16:46] <dissident> jrib: btw there is a lost+found folder on that hdd, can i delete that
[16:46] <soldats> anon11, ubuntu and xubuntu use the same kernal and undelying system xubuntu using xfce instead of gnome so it runs a little faster
[16:46] <ToxicSoul2> Okay wow, I finally got ubuntu installed however display is all messed up.. card is a rage128.. any ideas?
[16:46] <jrib> dissident: that's for the filesystem, just leave it
[16:47] <anon11> soldats: is there any disadvantage, then, to using Xubuntu?
[16:47] <neverblue> ToxicSoul2, enable the restricted drivers in the restricted drivers manager ?
[16:47] <brobostigon> anon11: only the DE, which is xfce, faster smaller DE.
[16:47] <sam__> can someone help me figure out how pwmconfig works b/c my computer has fan issues
[16:47] <Rainarrow> I'm doing a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and it's weird that I got even 1600x1200@85, but only 1024x768@75

[16:47] <ubotu> You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users.  (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.)  The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.

[16:47] <MichaelSammels> How do I add the cdrom deb line to /etc/apt/sources.list?
[16:47] <soldats> anon11, not really. xfce is a little more minimal and a little more restricted but runs a lot faster
[16:47] <ToxicSoul2> neverblue, "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
[16:48] <jrib> MichaelSammels: use apt-cdrom
[16:48] <neverblue> ToxicSoul2, not sure about ATI, maybe try in #ati ?

[16:48] <yahya> What can I use to play .gsm audio files?
[16:48] <MichaelSammels> Rainarrow: It's Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper
[16:49] <brobostigon> yahya: try vlc, that might do it.
[16:49] <MichaelSammels> Rainarrow: Can you please change what you said above to match Ubuntu 6.06 please?
[16:49] <genii> MichaelSammels: use apt-cdrom then
[16:49] <erUSUL> MichaelSammels: sudo apt-cdrom add /dev/cdrom
[16:49] <dissident> jrib: please assistance for changing permission please
[16:49] <Rainarrow> argh, I meant modifying the /etc/apt/sources.list file, forgot to mention the filename, me stupid
[16:50] <soldats> dissident, man chmod
[16:50] <jrib> dissident: what permissions do you want?  everyone can write and read, or only your user?
[16:50] <calc> yahya: sox might be able to convert it if you can't find anything to play it natively
[16:50] <yahya> brobostigon: vlc doesn't play it
[16:50] <kestir> I have a problem with my terminal...if I type sleep 2 && echo -e '\a' it makes no sound...can someone help me troubleshoot this?

[16:50] <dissident> jrib:everyone
[16:50] <neverblue> u007-1, by doing a new install
[16:50] <jrib> dissident: sudo chmod 777 /media/sdb1/
[16:50] <Rainarrow> MichaelSammels: you could also try to looking for relevant options in Synaptics
[16:50] <sipior> u007-1: downgrading is usually fraught with peril, alas
[16:51] <Rainarrow> MichaelSammels: there should be a checkbox for the cdrom
[16:51] <u007-1> sipior: damn.. :(
[16:51] <MichaelSammels> Rainarrow: Server Edition has no GUI which I am trying to do. I was told to add the cdrom deb to sources.lst
[16:51] <azexian> tanath: any luck?
[16:51] <azexian> tanath: any luck?
[16:51] <dissident> jrib:did that
[16:51] <dissident> jrib: is that all
[16:51] <calc> u007-1: edgy is only to be supported for a few more months anyway
[16:51] <jrib> dissident: yes.  You may have to press "reload" in nautilus
[16:52] <calc> u007-1: edgy goes unsupported around the time hardy is released

[16:52] <u007-1> calc: okay :)
[16:52] <dissident> jrib: is it possible i'm not using nautilus ?
[16:52] <Rainarrow> MichaelSammels: this should be the line in Dapper's /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:52] <MichaelSammels> Rainarrow: Thanks a lot :D
[16:52] <xplozion> Hi everyone
[16:52] <jrib> dissident: nautilus is the file browser in GNOME

[16:53]  * shyt asd
[16:53] <phatnutz> IF I were to use a linux partition manager on a bootable CD to create a LVM RAID1 array, would the liveCD installer be able to write data there?  seems like the answer should be yes, but I just want to be sure...
[16:53] <tanath> azexian, sorry, a couple things came up. i'm busy for a few mins. will try soon
[16:53] <dissident> jrib: there is also a link on my desktop
[16:53] <azexian> tanath that's fine
[16:53] <jrib> dissident: k, is everything working ok then?
[16:54] <dissident> jrib: yes it seems i can write to it, thank you sooooooooooooooo much
[16:54] <u007-1> is there any repository for gtk2.8 on gusty?
[16:54] <MrObvious> phatnutz: I run my CPU 100% already and I don't have any problems with Firefox after I found a nice howto to do it. :D
[16:54] <Rainarrow> Anyone here works with a CRT on 1280x960 res?
[16:54] <sipior> phatnutz: it should, yes. make sure it makes a filesystem on the array
[16:55] <phatnutz> MrObvious - user anon11 might be interested in how you did that.  depending on how this install goes, I may be too!  Could you recommend any good resources?
[16:55] <il3dsm> anybody knows how to configure apache2 so internal ip addresses don't get logged?
[16:55] <dissident> jrib: i reboot to see if everything is allright
[16:55] <phatnutz> sipior - ext3 for a Myth live recording data partition, right?  or is there a better file system?
[16:55] <neverblue> il3dsm, ask in #apache
[16:55] <neverblue> Rainarrow, can you get to the question ?
[16:56] <neverblue> !anyone > Rainarrow
[16:56] <sipior> phatnutz: i doubt it makes much difference. have a look on the mythTV forums, perhaps the topic has come up
[16:56] <Rainarrow> neverblue: thanks, my bad
[16:56] <MrObvious> phatnutz: Its on the wiki. Basically I typed in the search firefox and it has you download Firefox 32 bit and install Flash manually and Java and stuff but it shows how.
[16:56] <MrObvious> !firefox32
[16:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox32 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:57] <phatnutz> MrObvious - ah, so your runnig 32 bit firefox in a 64 bit environment, then?
[16:57] <Rainarrow> Anyone here working with a CRT on 1280x960 res? My Ubuntu box with a DELL P1110 21'' could work on 1280x1024, but I can't get it to run 1280x960
[16:57] <MrObvious> How do I add a factoid to the bot (installing a 32 bit firefox on a 64 bit enviroment)?
[16:57] <MrObvious> phatnutz: Yup. Works great.
[16:57] <Rainarrow> the 3d card is a ATi Radeon 9500
[16:57] <phatnutz> Rainarrow, can't you set custome resolutions in the x config files?
[16:57] <u007-1> !gtk
[16:57] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI

[16:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gtk2.8 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:58] <neverblue> Rainarrow, did you enable the restricted drivers in the 'Restricted Drivers Manager' ?
[16:58] <Rainarrow> phatnutz: I did that already, what's weird is even I've added 1280x960 in the "modes" line, the res selection dialog still skips it
[16:58] <sipior> u007-1: might simply be easier to build an older version of gtk from source. i don't believe the dependency list is very long
[16:58] <darx1> whats the difference between xv and opengl for display?
[16:58] <darx1> :-)
[16:58] <darx1> which is faster
[16:59] <Rainarrow> neverblue: I've tried both the free "ati" driver and the proprietary "fglrx" driver, and both won't give me the option for 1280x960 res
[16:59] <phatnutz> Rainarrow damn, wish I could be more helpful but "check the config file" is about as deep as my understanding goes!  :)
[16:59] <abhi> when I trun on my cable modem after booting, I am not able to access net But if I turn on the modem during or before booting I am able to access the net. how to solve this problem?
[16:59] <Rainarrow> phatnutz: thanks you anyway
[16:59] <neverblue> Rainarrow, so this has nothing to do with compiz, and adding effects right, just trying to adjust res. ?
[16:59] <phatnutz> Rainarrow, why that odd resolution?  wh\y not 1280*1024?
[17:00] <Rainarrow> neverblue: yes, I'm just trying to adjust res.

[17:01] <soldats> thanks

[17:01] <Webu> Any suggestions how to automatically keep computer's clock syncronized (i don't have a GUI)?
[17:01] <adrock358> What does "CD into a directory mean?"
[17:01] <frojnd>    How can I get the name of process PID 6 ? I know I get all the process with top but how can I get just the name of PID 6 ?
[17:01] <MrObvious> adrock358: Change Directory, or move the terminal to a different folder. EG: cd /home/paul/Desktop would take me from /home/paul to /home/paul/Desktop
[17:01] <Rainarrow> adrock358: it means to "change your current working directory"
[17:02] <neverblue> adrock358, cd <directory>
[17:02] <Amaranth> adrock358: `cd` is a terminal command, short for "change directory"
[17:02] <soldats> Rainarrow, does it not show it in the list. not sure. you may be able to do it n the xorg.conf file but i need to go t work so i goota go
[17:02] <MrObvious> frojnd: Try ps aux | grep 6
[17:02] <praveen_> keyboard and mouse not working in LenovoY500 using Ubuntu7.10
[17:02] <adrock358> THANK YOU
[17:02] <Rainarrow> adrock358: e.g. cd /tmp should bring you to the /tmp directory
[17:02] <jrib> dissident: I don't know much about that.  System -> Preferences -> Sound Preferences -> Sounds   has some options though
[17:02] <Rainarrow> soldats: ok, thanks anyway
[17:02] <MrObvious> frojnd: Of course it'll tell you any PID that has a 6 in it, but you can read through that. lol
[17:02] <frojnd> MrObvious, too many.. I only need one name for PID 6
[17:02] <cannonball> frojnd: or  egrep '^Name:' /proc/6/status
[17:02] <kingrat76> hi, someone can help me with a problem on wacom tablet?
[17:03] <MrObvious> cannonball: Ahh never heard of egrep.
[17:03] <JDorfler> I just wanted to get on here and thank everyone that's brought us Ubuntu.  Thank you.  I don't see much thank yous on the forums.

[17:04] <adrock358> bash: CD/documents: No such file or director
[17:04] <frojnd> MrObvious, I understand but I only have to get the exact name :)
[17:04] <JDorfler> Seriously, what I want to know, is why the same OSS that I use in WinXP runs faster and more stable in Ubuntu?
[17:04] <cannonball> MrObvious: egrep is much the same as grep, but the e means that it supports extended regex operations.  So anytime I start using beginning of line or things like that, I just use egrep instead of grep.  But that command would have worked just fine with grep.
[17:04] <Webu> MrObvious, hmm ok, i'll try to look for it :)
[17:04] <JDorfler> You guys did a great job and I am enjoying my PC a lot more than I ever have with XP
[17:04] <jrib> adrock358: linux is case-sensitive, so you probably want something like: cd Documents
[17:05] <DRebellion> JDorfler: because the linux kernel is way more efficient than NT

[17:09] <MrObvious> Elevator_Hazard: Cool beans.
[17:09] <IdleOne> Elevator_Hazard: so it adds to the excitement of Ubuntu :)
[17:09] <jrib> worthawholebean: what exactly is saved?  What exactly is not saved?
[17:09] <praveen_> neverblue, ya its a new installed version of Ubuntu7.10
[17:09] <osfameron> DRebellion: thanks, that's a start
[17:09] <MrObvious> Whoa Russian! lol
[17:09] <worthawholebean> jrib, most preferences are saved for the session but disappear with a new session.
[17:09] <Elevator_Hazard> IdleOne: Oh yea it does, sound on flash also decided to work so I'm having a solo party over here listening to music.
[17:10] <osfameron> DRebellion: I quite like the case studies in the linux-on-laptops linked blogs postings, but that's useful, yes
[17:10] <jrib> worthawholebean: give a specific example of something
[17:10] <MrObvious> Off-topic news for RIAA haters: http://www.pronetworks.org/index.php/tag/hacker
[17:10] <MrObvious> :)
[17:10] <neverblue> praveen_, did you check the forums, you might want to see if others with the same device has similar issues
[17:10] <DRebellion> MrObvious: heh, heard about that on slashdot.org . Shame they put it back up :(

[17:10] <worthawholebean> jrib, I use an extension called FoxGame which has a bunch of checkbutton prefs, and none of them get saved
[17:10] <bltzfsck> when i try to set vga=791 in my menu.lst, i get no consoles at all.  anybody know why that might be?

[17:11] <CountX> having an issue with installing ubuntu on my laptop
[17:11] <anon11> I have the JDK and JRE running fine, but Firefox is still asking for plugins, which I can't seem to get without reinstalling both.
[17:11] <praveen_> neverblue,  k i ll check and come back
[17:11] <MrObvious> CountX: Say it, don't spray it.
[17:11] <bltzfsck> it's worked in the past when i was running plain vanilla debain
[17:11] <worthawholebean> Permissions all look fine.
[17:11] <DRebellion> CountX: what and you want us to guess?
[17:11] <jrib> worthawholebean: ok, and does any other extension save its preferences?
[17:11] <CountX> I installed it last night, but when i restarted for some updates it left me at a tty with an error
[17:11] <Elevator_Hazard> MrObvious: heheh you'd think they'd be more secure than that.
[17:11] <DRebellion> CountX: error: ______
[17:12] <worthawholebean> jrib, oh wait, yes they do
[17:12] <worthawholebean> *facepalm*
[17:12] <CountX> the kernel didnt update, so i could revert back to anything, "fsck failed drive is read-only"
[17:12]  * bltzfsck loves that tight, tiny little console font
[17:12] <alexvd_> Anyone run intel graphics card with Compiz
[17:12] <DRebellion> !anyone | alexvd_
[17:12] <ubotu> alexvd_: 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?
[17:13] <noodlesgc> alexvd yeah
[17:13] <MrObvious> CountX: Try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade if you can get to a terminal and see if that fixes it.
[17:13] <CountX> anyways thats not why i am here, i want to know what would be the best way to partition 2 separate 100gb sata drives to run windoze and ubuntu
[17:13] <alanbshepard70> is there a way to force ubuntu to open each window as the same size that it was when it was closed? Also can I force each window to always open a certain size no matter what size it last was? I know I can't do both at the same time but I want to try both and see which is less annoying to me.
[17:13] <alexvd_> Ok I have intel 855Gm I ran compiz no problems then enabled dual screens
[17:13] <bcardarella> Is there a way to diagnose LiveCD issues? It seems that when X tries to load the LiveCD fails. I've got a brand new laptop. Intel Quad Core 2, 4 GBs RAM, Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX. I'm guesisng it is the Nvidia card that is hold this up.
[17:13] <abhi> when I trun on my cable modem after booting, I am not able to access net But if I turn on the modem during or before booting I am able to access the net. how to solve this problem?
[17:13] <DRebellion> !dualboot > CountX (read the pm from ubotu)
[17:13] <CountX> MrObvious: and no terminal access at the time
[17:13] <kaminix^>  How do I solve this again? Done it before, but do not remember what was wrong:
[17:13] <kaminix^> e2fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)     mybook: recovering journal     fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on mybook
[17:14] <haxality> hi, I'm unable to ping a windows computer on my network from my xubuntu computer
[17:14]  * bltzfsck rephrases the question to why don't i get a console when vga=791 is set in menu.lst?
[17:14] <neverblue> bcardarella, you can check the CD, you are prompted with that option when it loads
[17:14] <erawfish> haxality: that is normal. pretty much every windows xp sp2 and later uses a firewall that blocks incoming pings
[17:14] <crdlb> alexvd_: an i855 isn't nearly powerful enough to drive compiz on two screens, and there's a hardware limit holding you to 2048x2048 in total resolution
[17:14] <MrObvious> CountX: There should be a failsafe option on booting from Grub I think when you push ESC. It should load a root terminal then. What exactly is the error?
[17:14] <alexvd_> I ran into the Max texture size limit so I tried the VideoRAM option.  This cauzed a third of the screen to be black.  I cannot run compiz now normally. I removed the option for VideoRAm in Xorg. I also see that i initially fail the texture_pixmap
[17:15] <haxality> really? I could ping it like a week ago...
[17:15] <DRebellion> erawfish: haxality: mine doesn't
[17:15] <chazco> Will getting a USB->PS2 adapter fix the keyboard issue?
[17:15] <erawfish> DRebellion: then you don#t use a firewall, the firewall which is on by default
[17:15] <alexvd_> crrlb: Yes I learned that
[17:15] <CountX> DRebellion: can you give me a more specific answer
[17:15] <haxality> so how did it arbitrarily stop working, if it's not the firewall causing the problem
[17:15] <DRebellion> erawfish: oh. of course, i'm probably have windows firewall turned off cause i use a different one.
[17:16] <haxality> I use the windows firewall and it doesn't block incoming pings from the LAN
[17:16] <noodlesgc> alexvd so are you still trying to use dual screens or is your single screen messes up?
[17:16] <haxality> only from the internet cloud
[17:16] <erawfish> haxality: can your windows ping your ubuntu?
[17:16] <haxality> sec
[17:16] <[-Haza-Nix-]_> Afternoon folks, How might i go about creating a drop down menu on my task bar that list a selection of applications of my choice?
[17:16] <alexvd_> crdlb: yes I know that i run into the total 2048 limit.  However that is not my issue.  My issue is now whenever I run Compiz i get a third of the screen chopped off vertically
[17:16] <[-Haza-Nix-]_> For windows i would make a folder with all my shortcuts in it then right click the taskbar -> toolbars -> new toolbar and then point to thew shortcuts folder
[17:16] <erawfish> haxality: it does block all pings
[17:16] <haxality> yes
[17:16] <cubesis> what is the name of flash player 9 in your plugins folder????
[17:16] <CountX> DRebellion: let me explain, i have tried many times in the past to get ubuntu to boot correctly on my laptop, all hard drive issues, i just want to know what would make ubuntu the most reliable to boot, I have a laptop with 2 internal 100gb sata HDD's
[17:16] <haxality> erawfish, so how was I pinging it before, then?
[17:16] <crdlb> alexvd_: you only see the top left 640x480?
[17:16] <bcardarella> neverblue: I'll give that a try
[17:16] <kane77> is there a program that can change the contrast/brightness of a laptop display?
[17:17] <alexvd_> noodlesgc: I know i cant run compiz dual.  Just trying to get it working in 1024x768 normally again
[17:17] <erawfish> haxality: I doN#t know or care (this is not ##windows)
[17:17] <haxality> sigh..
[17:17] <erawfish> but windows firewall blocks all pings by default.
[17:17] <cubesis> yep i can't run compiz dual either
[17:17] <anon11> What's the maximum recommended rate of transfer across a null modem cable?
[17:17] <haxality> so this isn't ##windows, but you are in fact the absolute authority on windows features?
[17:17] <alexvd_> crdlb:  No I have the 1024x768 screen but the right portion is black. I can see click on items behind it
[17:17] <cubesis> could someone with flash9 tell me what the name of the plugin is..im trying to delete it but can't see it in my plugins folder
[17:18] <DRebellion> anon11: i recommend as fast as possible ;)
[17:18] <noodlesgc> alexvd you could try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" you will lose monitor settings
[17:18] <nlindblad> anon11: you mean transfer speed?
[17:18] <anon11> Aye.
[17:18] <Matic`Makovec> Is there a way to check why a certain process is taking so much CPU?
[17:18] <crdlb> alexvd_: I mean what is the size of the part of the screen you can *see* ?
[17:18] <Linuxishawt> blah!
[17:18] <haxality> just saying.
[17:18] <DRebellion> Matic`Makovec: use the command 'top'
[17:18] <crdlb> alexvd_: is it about 640x480 ?
[17:18] <alexvd_> crdlb: I guess that is probably close to that
[17:18] <zoom> can we update compressed archives please ?
[17:18] <cubesis> matic: system - admin - system monitor
[17:18] <alexvd_> crdlb: no way to measure
[17:19] <Matic`Makovec> DRebellion, I only saw there that it uses that much. I wonder why.
[17:19] <wyclif> DRebellion: top -cs
[17:19] <crdlb> alexvd_: ok then I know what happened, open ccsm and go to General Options > Display Settings, and check Detect Outputs
[17:19] <Matic`Makovec> I know what top does and so on. My question is what for.
[17:19] <anon11> DrRebellion, nlindblad: Well, I need to set a transfer rate, and I'm curious as to how high I can go without causing confusion on the other end.
[17:19] <alexvd_> crdlb: Ok doing that now
[17:19] <erawfish> anon11: fastest is generally 115200 bits/s
[17:19] <Linuxishawt> 74-131-141-126.
[17:19] <kingrat76> Hi, i noticed big cpu usage when i simply move around my pen (a wacom graphire usb) on gimp 2.4.0rc3- and ubuntu 7.10, can someone help me pls?
[17:19] <Linuxishawt> nmap it!
[17:19] <erawfish> RS422 could go higher but that's not on PCs
[17:19] <CountX> swap partitions are logical right?
[17:19] <CountX> not primary?
[17:19] <flukierdonut> is there any mplayer or vlc support for HD AVIs ?
[17:19] <anon11> Thanks, erawfish.
[17:20] <nlindblad> anon11: since it's serial it shouldn't be too picky
[17:20] <CountX> flukierdonut: what codec/
[17:20] <nlindblad> anon11: can you set any rate you want or are there any given rates to choose from?
[17:20] <DRebellion> flukierdonut: don't see why not. give it a spin and see what happens.
[17:20] <flukierdonut> CountX, well when i try to play it in mplayer it says its and HD format and it cant play it.. its an avi file
[17:21] <agd5f> are there any known issues with hardy on AMD64?  Every image I've tried panics on boot
[17:21] <Linuxishawt> ubuntu is wack.
[17:21] <alexvd_> crdlb: hot diggity dam that worked.  You guys dont suck!!!!
[17:21] <anon11> nlindblad: Any rate I want, but I assume there's some kind of maximum recommended speed.
[17:21] <neverblue> Linuxishawt, did you need help with something ?
[17:22] <Linuxishawt> No, i'm fine
[17:22] <Starnestommy> agd5f: try hitting F6 at the cd boot prompt, then replace "quiet splash" in the text box with "nosplash noacpi noapic"
[17:22] <Linuxishawt> thanks however
[17:22] <eugman> ght?
[17:22] <eugman> I can do a server install with no mouse right
[17:22] <tonsofpcs> sure
[17:22] <Linuxishawt> eugman you can
[17:22] <neverblue> Linuxishawt, why u posting IPs in the channel, having an issue with your own ?
[17:22] <eugman> ok thought so, jsut checking
[17:22] <Linuxishawt> Not really
[17:22] <nlindblad> anon11: the only idea I have is testing different speeds and watch how well it works
[17:22] <DRebellion> anon11: rate of the slowest netork card/switch/router
[17:23] <tonsofpcs> you can do a server install with no server too...
[17:23] <alexvd_> crdlb: should I be concerned that when running compiz from terminal I see it fails the check for texture_from_pixmap and the tries with indirect rendering.  Isnt indirect rendering slower?
[17:23] <neverblue> Linuxishawt, what did you need then ?
[17:23] <Linuxishawt> nothing, just checking this out
[17:23] <crdlb> alexvd_: it's accelerated indirect rendering (AIGLX), completely normal
[17:23] <Linuxishawt> i don't like the fact i can't select which packages I want during install
[17:24] <alexvd_> crdlb: thanks again
[17:24] <ShadowAp3x> lawl @ chu
[17:24] <jrib> !minimal | Linuxishawt
[17:24] <ubotu> Linuxishawt: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[17:24] <profanephobia> CountX, any ideas?
[17:24] <ShadowAp3x> dude, you got owned
[17:24] <agd5f> Starnestommy: no dice
[17:24] <ShadowAp3x> nice, jrib
[17:24] <Linuxishawt> what if I don't have network support during install?
[17:24] <Linuxishawt> but thanks for the minial tip
[17:24] <Linuxishawt> i will use it
[17:25] <Linuxishawt> it has always bothered me
[17:25] <WindowSmasher> Hello all
[17:25] <alexvd_> crdlb: I am running awn for dock.  Do you know how to enable the hack to speed up the hide?
[17:25] <crdlb> alexvd_: I don't, there's an #awn channel on freenode though
[17:25] <Webu> Another question, i've got a headless remote server with dynamic IP-address which may sometimes change, is there a good way to somehow make the server check it's own IP-address and send it somewhere, since if it's headless i have no idea which IP it'll get?
[17:25] <alexvd_> crdlb: heading over cool bean
[17:26] <zoom> how can i update an archive with the -u option i have already a compressed archive is it possible please ?
[17:26] <Linuxishawt> webu, dhcp on your lan, or via your ISP?

[17:26] <Webu> Linuxishawt, ISP.

[17:26] <Breakage> hi just formated to xubuntu from ubuntu to and im trying to set fonts like gnome.. on gnome I had a res of 1280x1024 with 10px font and 80dpi, but on xubuntu I use the same res but cant set font to 80dpi. I've tried in "~/.config/Xft.xrdb" by adding "Xft.dpi: 80" but it doesn't change the font size at all. My fonts and theme is default on 1280x1024 atm with nvidia card. Help please :))
[17:26] <Linuxishawt> why not do a dynamic dns
[17:26] <Linuxishawt> no-ip.org
[17:26] <Linuxishawt> they have native linux clients
[17:26] <neverblue> !enter > Linuxishawt
[17:26] <bkar> zoom archive like ar uses -u option for updates, only updates changed contents
[17:26] <DRebellion> Webu: you could use dynamic dns. that way it would send its ip to the service provider and they would map their dns entries accordingly.
[17:27] <Webu> Oo okey, sounds good.
[17:27] <Cpudan80> Is there a DynDNS client for Ubuntu ?
[17:27] <Cpudan80> I usually run it through my router --- so I don't even know...
[17:27] <bkar> Cpudan80-> I believe they do
[17:28] <Cpudan80> That's good to know
[17:28] <Linuxishawt> they have a deb -- http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/no-ip/
[17:28] <zoom> bkar, tar -vzu zoom.tar.gz /home/zoom/ is it good ?
[17:28] <Cpudan80> Thats the no-ip client, no-ip hasn't given me good luck for some reason
[17:28] <ally_xoxoo> hey Cpudan80: im having a problem watching a .avi file
[17:28] <ally_xoxoo> any ideas?
[17:28] <Cpudan80> ally_xoxoo: Add the restricted-extras
[17:28] <Webu> Actually i have the same feature in my router as well, but since i'm using bridged port for my headless server i think i can't use it.
[17:29] <ally_xoxoo> i did cpudan80
[17:29] <ally_xoxoo> i also did "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[17:29] <bkar> zoom you can test it, create a small dir, fill it with files, tar it, add another file,  tar it again, and then uncompress both tar files to see if there is a difference....prove this to yourself
[17:29] <bcardarella> Is there a way to install ubuntu without loading X on the LiveCD?
[17:29] <Cpudan80> Webu: I would try the router way --- that's usually more reliable (ie. no computer needs to be turned on)
[17:29] <ally_xoxoo> my totem-gstreamer was able to play my mp3s and movies, but now it doesnt
[17:29] <ally_xoxoo> i removed and reinstalled
[17:29] <Pici> bcardarella: no.
[17:29] <zoom> ok thx
[17:30] <Cpudan80> ally_xoxoo: Ehhh ok, you probably need the fstreamer w32 codecs
[17:30] <zoom> i don t seems be good bkar
[17:30] <bltzfsck> there's nothing called "device manager" under my system/administration menu, but it's referenced on the ubuntu help website.  how can i get one?
[17:30] <ally_xoxoo> where can i get that Cpudan80
[17:30] <neverblue> bcardarella, the ALT. CD doesnt boot into a Live version, its all done at command line
[17:30] <ally_xoxoo> i have the libdvd codecs i think
[17:30] <Cpudan80> ally_xoxoo: looking up the name
[17:30] <Breakage> hi just formated to xubuntu from ubuntu to and im trying to set fonts like gnome.. on gnome I had a res of 1280x1024 with 10px font and 80dpi, but on xubuntu I use the same res but cant set font to 80dpi. I've tried in "~/.config/Xft.xrdb" by adding "Xft.dpi: 80" but it doesn't change the font size at all. My fonts and theme is default on 1280x1024 atm with nvidia card. Help please :)
[17:30] <bcardarella> neverblue: i read about that alt cd but all I can find is the daily alt build for Heron
[17:30] <Janner____> How can i get the user list so that i can see channels users,in Xchat, in ubuntu 7.10?
[17:30] <Cpudan80> ally_xoxoo: For whatever reason, the restricted extras package doesn't have all the stuff
[17:31] <neverblue> bcardarella, its out there
[17:31] <_moro_bana_> please help im on ubuntu, recently my processor has been giving me problems, it goes to 100% use and the system slows down ,sometimes comes to a halt, even when im running nothing
[17:31] <Cpudan80> ally_xoxoo: sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[17:31] <ally_xoxoo> yeah i noticed that :P
[17:31] <ally_xoxoo> ok
[17:31] <ally_xoxoo> hold on
[17:31] <neverblue> Janner____, is it just xchat, or the gnome-chat ?
[17:31] <neverblue> !enter | ally_xoxoo
[17:31] <ubotu> ally_xoxoo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[17:31] <Webu> Cpudan80, i suppose it only works for the routing ports (NAT) where router itself requests an IP-address.
[17:31] <Janner____> xchat
[17:31] <Cpudan80> ally_xoxoo: Those are in medibuntu
[17:31] <Cpudan80> !medibuntu | ally_xoxoo
[17:31] <ubotu> ally_xoxoo: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[17:31] <bcardarella> neverblue: nm I found the alt
[17:31] <bltzfsck> is there really such a thing as "device manager"?
[17:31] <ally_xoxoo> cpudan80: i did medibuntu already
[17:32] <neverblue> Janner____, can you rephrase the question, or ask in #xchat ?
[17:32] <noodlesgc> _more_bana_ do you have beagle installed?
[17:32] <Cpudan80> ally_xoxoo: ok good, well then add that codec pac
[17:32] <Cpudan80> pack*
[17:32] <tummyacid> hello all, i have the same question thats on a million forums but none seem to give specific enough info to be applicable to my situation.  I am trying to boot a finished windows install on my Gusty system.  It is on /dev/hdc7 so something tells me the line every helpful forum post tells me to use, root(hd0,0) does not refer to the seventh partition on my secondary master drive.  Anyone know where i can get more info here?
[17:32] <_moro_bana_> please help im on ubuntu, recently my processor has been giving me problems, it goes to 100% use and the system slows down ,sometimes comes to a halt, even when im running nothing
[17:32] <bltzfsck> it might help me sort out my broken pci wireless card

[17:32] <Janner____> neverblue, my bad, its gnome-caht..
[17:32] <fradim> i've installed emerald but i want to go back to the default compiz/ubuntu window decorations. how do i do that?
[17:32] <Webu> Cpudan80, for bridged ports router doesn't see their IP or anything if i'm not wrong, so i have to use a Linux client.
[17:33] <WeDare> Hey guys,,, anyone else experiencing problems after update this morning?
[17:33] <noodlesgc> _moro_bana_ do you have beagle installed?
[17:33] <CrazyWulf> I'm trying to burn the Ubuntu iso onto another cd via Ubuntu.   I keep getting "there was an error writing to disc" no matter which speed I pick.   On the upper right corner of the .iso icon it looked like there's a padlock ......
[17:33] <Cpudan80> Webu: oh ok
[17:33] <neverblue> Janner____, sudo aptitude install xchat
[17:33] <WeDare> my soundcard evidently does not work anymore
[17:33] <_moro_bana_> noodlesgc: no i dont
[17:33] <sp0ro> Is SAMBA the easiest way to network a Windows computer and a Linux box(as a file sharing server)?
[17:33] <_moro_bana_> i had automatix but removed it
[17:33] <wyclif> _moro_bana_: sounds like a runaway process.  Identify it by running top -cs in a terminal
[17:33] <Cpudan80> ally_xoxoo: add ffmpeg too
[17:33] <|REM|> WeDare: I saw your message just as my updates were finishing
[17:33] <_moro_bana_> wyclif: ok
[17:34] <wyclif> _moro_bana_: do NOT run malicious scripts like Automatix!
[17:34] <hotchick> maybe that'll get me some attention
[17:34] <|REM|> WeDare: I'm afraid to reboot now
[17:34] <WeDare> lol
[17:34] <sp0ro> Currently my Windows box does not recognize my Linux box, but my Linux box sees my Windows box fine. This is why I am asking if SAMBA would solve the problem.
[17:34] <|REM|> :)
[17:34] <noodlesgc> _moro_bana_ go to System->Preferences->Indexing Preferences see if indexing is checked
[17:34] <neverblue> sp0ro, yes, you want to setup samba
[17:34] <Breakage> hi just formated to xubuntu from ubuntu to and im trying to set fonts like gnome.. on gnome I had a res of 1280x1024 with 10px font and 80dpi, but on xubuntu I use the same res but cant set font to 80dpi. I've tried in "~/.config/Xft.xrdb" by adding "Xft.dpi: 80" but it doesn't change the font size at all. My fonts and theme is default on 1280x1024 atm with nvidia card. Help please :)
[17:34] <neverblue> !samba > sp0ro
[17:34] <WeDare> also something in samba is funky too, I had to disable the shares to get gnome to boot within 3 minutes after timeouts
[17:34] <sp0ro> neverblue: Alright thanks.
[17:35] <_moro_bana_> noodlesgc: its checked
[17:35] <tummyacid> sp0ro: SAMBE may seem the easiest, but due to windows having so many strange networking policies, i find it orders of magnetude easier to use either FTP or SCP if you can get the server on the windows machine
[17:35] <bastid_raZor> sp0ro:: in windows you'll have to find a program that can read ext3 format. i'm not sure what the application is but there is a windows app that does this
[17:35] <DIL_> tummyacid, hda= 1st drive hdb=2nd drive hdc=3rddrive the #=partition
[17:35] <CrazyWulf> What does a padlock icon next to .iso icon mean?
[17:35] <bltzfsck> guess not
[17:35] <_moro_bana_> wyclif: i removed it after i was told
[17:35] <Jed1> sp0ro  SAMBA or FTP!
[17:35] <noodlesgc> _moro_bana_ if removing automatix doesn't fix your problem, uncheck indexing
[17:35] <WeDare> I was hoping someone already knew a fix for my sound issue
[17:35] <bastid_raZor> CrazyWulf:: probably that you don't have permission to use it.
[17:35] <wyclif> _moro_bana_ i would recommend a clean reinstall.  automatix will sometimes prevent you from booting your system, and will destabilize it
[17:36] <WeDare> I already tried re-installing everything alsa
[17:36] <_moro_bana_> noodlesgc: what does indexing do
[17:36] <CrazyWulf> Hmm
[17:36] <DIL_> tummyacid, hda= 1st drive (0,0) hdb=2nd drive(0,1) hdc=3rddrive(1,0) the #=partition
[17:36] <DRebellion> CrazyWulf: i think its to do with file permissions. You probably don't have permissions to write or read or something like that.
[17:36] <WeDare> and the linux sound stuff
[17:36] <fradim> i've installed emerald but i want to go back to the default compiz/ubuntu window decorations. how do i do that? is there a setting somewhere that removes the use of emerald?
[17:36] <WeDare> but no luck

[17:36] <gcarrillo> if i installed the libdvdcss and libdvdread libraries, should i be able to playback dvds using totem with a gstreamer backend?

[17:37] <tummyacid> anyone have any other tips for booting winxp from the seventh partition?
[17:37] <_moro_bana_> !patience
[17:37] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[17:38] <jamie_> my cd drives have completely disappeared from /dev/ is this a known issue with any of the auto updates?
[17:38] <neverblue> jamie_, not that I have heard
[17:38] <bastid_raZor> tummyacid:: which partition it is on doesn't matter. as long as grub knows where it is.. you are fine

[17:38] <Keigo-kun> Can't reach my newly installed apache2 server by writing localhost in the URL bar.. what is wrong it with? :/
[17:38] <tummyacid> jamie_ : could be a failing power supply
[17:39] <tummyacid> okie, ty for the help all brb
[17:39] <jamie_> well the drives still work under windows xp
[17:39] <Shadow6363> is there a website that shows what options certain packages were compiled with, in my case apache on gutsy?
[17:39] <Jed1> Keigo-kun, try http://127.0.0.1
[17:40] <Linuxishawt> keigo-kun, are you sitting on the same machine you just installed apache on? is the service running?
[17:40] <wyclif>    4008  1068 pts/2    S+   Jan20   0:00 screen
[17:41] <jamie_> neverblue:  i see two generic devices, sg0 and sg1, is it possible that somehow my drives are now being seen as generic?
[17:41] <Keigo-kun> Jed1: Same problem.
[17:41] <Ar-ras> how can i create my own splash.rle?
[17:41] <Jed1> Keigo-kun  - ok.. have you start the service?
[17:41] <Keigo-kun> Linuxishawt: Yes, same computer and yes, I think apache2 is running, i didn't get an error message when running apache2 start
[17:42] <WeDare> Does anyone have any Idea how to fix issues with an intel soundcard that does not seem to be recognized that worked fine out of the box before but  this morning after the update quit working, and is now reporting that no devices found?
[17:42] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: Have you setup a firewall of some kind on the computer?
[17:42] <Keigo-kun> Cpudan80: Well, unless Ubuntu comes with one on by default, just my router.
[17:42] <DRebellion> WeDare: checked the command 'dmesg' ?
[17:42] <neverblue> jamie_, no idea
[17:42] <u007-1> bah.. installed glib2.8, now my nautilus cannot open
[17:42] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: Ok, so no....
[17:42] <FonMax> WeDare: reinstall ALSA
[17:43] <WeDare> already did that
[17:43] <nicolah> what does "upstream" mean relating to bugs or to software versions ? thanks
[17:43] <neverblue> WeDare, do you see the device listed when you run the 'lspci' command ?
[17:43] <FonMax> version of ALSA?
[17:43] <jamie_> WeDare: I remember seeing something about that in the forums, it is around the known issues with gutsy sticky thread
[17:43] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: try seeing if apache is working ---- ps ax | grep apache
[17:43] <Jed1> Keigo-kun ... hm...   try ps aux | grep apache to check that the service is running..
[17:43] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: Type that at a terminal window, you should have least one thing going
[17:44] <Keigo-kun> I got 4 things
[17:44] <Ar-ras> so
[17:44] <Keigo-kun> apache2 -k start things
[17:44] <Cpudan80> I have
[17:44] <Ar-ras> does somebody know how to create own splash.rle?
[17:44] <WeDare> 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
[17:44] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: OK, so it is running.... that's good
[17:44] <WeDare> not intel nvidia doh!
[17:44] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: Have you messed with the config at all?
[17:44] <jamie_> Anyone have any idea how to go about diagnosing missing cd drives in /dev/?
[17:44] <Jed1> Keigo-kun  ok... sounds weird...
[17:44] <neverblue> WeDare, I would take that previous suggestion, try the forums
[17:45] <genii> !intelhda
[17:45] <ubotu> For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[17:45] <Keigo-kun> Cpudan80: Yes. I got an error message the first time I started it and guesses that was why it didn't work, so I added ServerName localhost to the apache2.conf file
[17:45] <tummyacid> ok im typing "root (hd1,0) <enter> makeactive <enter> chainloader +1 <enter>" and i get "Error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format"  searching the error now anyone have an experiance with this?
[17:46] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: Oh ok --- I think you messed it up lol
[17:46] <kernl> erm, anybody knows how to make the login screen go back to default? i had enlighment17 installed with a login screen, but now don't have a way to change it back
[17:46] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: Hang on and I'll paste my config file
[17:46] <bastid_raZor> !usplash > Ar-ras
[17:46] <Keigo-kun> Cpudan80: No, the server didn't work before I added that either
[17:46] <Keigo-kun> Cpudan80: And I deleted the line now, so it's identical to when I installed it
[17:47] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: Ok ---- did you install it by following the lamp instructions on Ubuntu's howto?
[17:47] <chronic1> About the flash install....i got it working by doing a manual install.  I think the problem is that the install is using a wrong MD5 hash when verifying the tarball.
[17:47] <Keigo-kun> Cpudan80: No, i followed this: http://joeabiraad.com/linuxunix/installing-lamp-on-ubuntu-710-linuxapachemysqlphp/100
[17:48] <mous16> hi to all. Someone know a program to convvert from wma to mp3 without losing metadata?
[17:48] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: That one looks fair enough --- what happens when you do http://localhost ?
[17:48] <Keigo-kun> Cpudan80: It loads for ages, then I get a "timed out" error
[17:49] <jamie_> mous16: you really don't want to transcode file type like that, the resulting files are going to sound horrible.
[17:49] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: Paste your error log to pastebin --- the error log is at /var/log/apache2/error.log
[17:49] <genii> Keigo-kun: Does it respond to the ip of your box?eg: for a common lan IP:    http://192.168.0.100
[17:49] <darx> hi folks how can i find the version of fglrx that is installed in my system?
[17:49] <darx> :-
[17:50] <Ttech> fglrx --version?
[17:50] <mous16> jamie_:? alsa with a "windows" converter?
[17:50] <misslecommander> if while running a Gnome Theme, you remove the installation from Synaptic, that mess things up ? freeze, panels disappear, desktop gone ?
[17:50] <darx> Ttech: there is no command called fglrx
[17:50] <DRebellion> misslecommander: remove what installation from synaptic?
[17:50] <Timon_Crazy> bbl
[17:51] <VOiCi|Work> Hi, I plugged my headphones into that new laptop i got at work (ubuntu)(toshiba), I get sound both from speakers and from headphones, i want to only get one of them, like when my headphones are plugged, i get sound in them, when not, i get sound from speakers, I tried alsamixer but cannot seems to be able to do anything, anybody who knows more than me could help?
[17:51] <Keigo-kun> Cpudan80: http://pastebin.com/d6fb34e6c
[17:51] <bastid_raZor> misslecommander:: heh, you killed something?
[17:51] <jamie_> mous16: you might want to try the program sound converter, its under synaptic package maanger
[17:51] <jamie_> mous16: i'm not following you
[17:51] <mous16> jamie_: also, not alsa!
[17:51] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: That's uneventful
[17:51] <Keigo-kun> genii: No, it does not respond to the LAN IP either
[17:51] <Cpudan80> genii: Take a look at that error log he posted --- nothing real interesting
[17:51] <misslecommander> DRebellion: i had a Gnome theme, or some theme going on, and i removed Gmome-Thems from SPM, since then my panels disappear, and alot of funky things go on with GUI
[17:52] <xomp> hey guys, I'm wanting to find/use a dark theme for ubuntu and I'm browsing around on gnome-look.org. Is the built in theme thingy called Metacity for Gutsy?
[17:52] <bastid_raZor> VOiCi|Work:: from what i've heard in this channel that is a known bug that has yet to be fixed. although i could be wrong. it may have been fixed. possibly check the forums for the fix?
[17:52] <genii> darx:apt-cache policy xorg-driver-fglrx             the part beginning something like 7.0.1-8.73   shows it is 8.37 on mine for instance
[17:52] <Keigo-kun> Cpudan80: I get an error when I start apache2, when ServerName is not in the apache2.conf
[17:52] <genii> *7.1.0-8.37      rather
[17:52] <VOiCi|Work> ok bastid_raZor , ill take a look at it, thanks for the info
[17:52] <DRebellion> xomp: metacity is a windows manager. i don't think ubuntu uses it.
[17:52] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: killed ? you could say that. i killed  Gnome :)
[17:52] <jamie_> mous16: yeah, wma and mp3s and most type of music files are compressed with a losey compression, which means when you go from one format to the next it information is lost and files begin to sound worse
[17:52] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: That's ok --- then it just defaults to localhost
[17:52] <bastid_raZor> Keigo-kun:: i get that same error. it doesn't affect anything.
[17:53] <genii> Keigo-kun: Looks like you need to specify in /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[17:53] <Keigo-kun> Cpudan80: Actually, it defaults to 127.0.1.1 for me for some reason.
[17:53] <jamie_> mous16: but i am an audio nerd with 300 dollar speakers, so you you might not care as much as i do :)
[17:53] <bastid_raZor> misslecommander:: heh.. best of luck on that :\
[17:53] <misslecommander> well atleasy i got my wireless to connect at boot :)
[17:53] <mous16> jamie_: ok.. i'l remember it!
[17:53] <MrObvious> DRebellion: Wrong. Ubuntu uses it. It's part of Gnome.
[17:53] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: which is localhost :-)
[17:53] <xomp> DRebellion, ok, thanks. Do you know which of the many choices on this website I would need to browse then? I don't want to run emerald or any other thing like that to slow things down.
[17:53] <misslecommander> even if i freez every two mins
[17:53] <darx> genii: so is this newer or not? http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html
[17:53] <hasse_> hey, i have a thinkpad t61p, with a nvidia graphic card, and it's possible to run 1920x1200, but i cant get the drivers to do that, when i use nvidia-settings it can update to that resolution , but if i restart X it's back to low resolutioin
[17:53] <Keigo-kun> Cpudan80: Isn't local host 127.0.0.1?
[17:53] <jamie_> mous16: but sound converter might be able to do what you want to do
[17:53] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: ehhhhhhh yeah........ whoops
[17:53] <CrazyWulf> Are there any applications that could would allow me to stream media to my X-Box 360 for Ubuntu?  I mean *really* stream, not trancode.   Trying to get rid of Windows all together :p
[17:53] <DRebellion> xomp: sorry, i was wrong. ubuntu uses it as part of gnome. thanks for clearing that up MrObvious
[17:54] <jamie_> mous16: also check out this wiki, http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Transcoding
[17:54] <MrObvious> hasse_: When you go to System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution is 1920x1200 there?
[17:54] <VOiCi|Work> bastid_raZor, fyi, i think there is a fix on that site, ill try it out
[17:54] <VOiCi|Work> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/116310
[17:54] <MrObvious> DRebellion: Now you know. :p
[17:54] <DRebellion> CrazyWulf: what does xbox support? maybe upnp?
[17:54] <Keigo-kun> Cpudan80: Maybe I should try opening a port? Sounds really odd, but it's the only thing I can think of
[17:54] <bastid_raZor> VOiCi|Work:: thanks i'll look too to get a refresher
[17:54] <psst> how can I get a list of software packages, versions and *licences* installed on my ubuntu machine?
[17:54] <hasse_> MrObvious, yes, but Hz = 0
[17:54] <xomp> DRebellion, and Mr. O thanks :)
[17:55] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: i seriously will be sitting here, reading the text in xchat, and things just go awry, no intervention, thing just dies
[17:55] <Cpudan80> Keigo-kun: the router isn't blocking anything - as it is one level outside your LAN... you could try it - prob wouldn't do anything
[17:55] <MrObvious> hasse_: Hmm. You might have to play with xorg.conf. :\ I have 1920x1200 on my laptop with an 8600m and it works fine. If you want PM me and post your xorg.conf and I'll compare it to mine and we can get it working better.
[17:55] <genii> darx: If you want the latest one install the manual method shown here http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[17:55] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: but, even through the flames of Gnome Hell, i survived
[17:55] <CrazyWulf> Not entirely sure.    On Windows you need Windows Media Player 11 installed and sharing the media for it to stream.   Was hoping there would be something that could emulate that to make the X-Box *think* I was running Windows with WMP11
[17:55] <bastid_raZor> misslecommander:: one too many apt-get removes?
[17:55]  * bastid_raZor laughs
[17:56] <JuJuBee> Anybody know of a good program to convert between pdf and odt or doc?

[17:56] <ubotu> leal: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
 openoffice word?
[17:56] <DRebellion> CrazyWulf: you don't *need* WMP. that's just what microsoft tell you :P
[17:56] <MrObvious> jamie_: Check the cables.
[17:56] <leal> the totem is not working anymore, i did not make anything (even update packages).
there is an export to pdf option there on the file menu...
[17:56] <genii> Keigo-kun: Put into /etc/apache2/ports.conf   some line like:    Listen  192.168.0.100:80
[17:56] <Ashfire908> what's that option for tar to strip begining folders?
and you can save as doc
[17:57] <bastid_raZor> misslecommander:: both do the same apt-get apititude synaptic..
[17:57] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: i had when i first installed, so prob the case. i was fresh of the tree then
[17:57] <DRebellion> !doesnt work | leal
[17:57] <ubotu> leal: 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.
[17:57] <leal> it complains about the libdvdcss. but was working hours ago.
[17:57] <kingrat76> Hi, i noticed big cpu usage when i simply move around my pen (a wacom graphire usb) on gimp 2.4.0rc3- and ubuntu 7.10, can someone help me pls?
[17:57] <genii> Keigo-kun: Then do a restart by: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[17:57] <JuJuBee> I need to open a pdf (that I did not create) and want to convert to word or oo.
[17:57] <darx> genii: the automatic method doesn't work. I'll have to install it manually. I've enabled all the repos so I was wondering if the driver is already the latest. thus the question. forgive my english hope i'm making sense.
[17:57] <jamie_> MrObvious: actually they still work under my windows install
[17:57] <leal> sorry... sorry...
[17:57] <Jed1> Keigo-kun  did you solve your problem?
[17:57] <jamie_> MrObvious: so i am assuming the problem lies on the software side
[17:57] <leal> it does not read DVD's anymore.
[17:58] <MrObvious> jamie_: IDK them.
[17:58] <JuJuBee> When I try to open a pdf in open office, I get junk...
[17:58] <neverblue> !enter > leal
[17:58] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: there was a time, where nothing would install, missing this missing that missin..bllbllb whatever, i just started clicking everything, and finally things started installing, so this install is botched i know
[17:58] <Breakage> Hi, I have enable the restricted driver for nvidia "nvidia-glx-new" and was wondering if I disable restricted drivers manager from startup will the "nvidia-glx-new" still update through update manager if there is a update and rdm is disabled??
[17:58] <genii> darx: If all your repos are current and you have done the apt-get update with no updates then yes you are running latest available from there for ubuntu.
[17:58] <Keigo-kun> genii: No effect.
[17:58] <Keigo-kun> Jed1: Nope.
[17:58] <tummyacid> ok i tried swapping hd0 and hd1 with the map (hd0) (hd1) and converse, but still same error, "Error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format"
[17:58] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: its my test Frankenstien
[17:58] <jamie_> MrObvious: yeah i like to think of myself as fairly savvy but this one has me completely perplexed
[17:59] <genii> Keigo-kun: You put of course your own IP for 192.168.0.100 I would hope (the one the box is actually using)
[17:59] <kane77> is there a program that can change the contrast/brightness of a laptop display?
[17:59] <Keigo-kun> genii: Obviously.
[17:59] <darx> genii: does that mean the current fglrx driver in the repo supports aiglx?
[17:59] <knoppix> How do I know if I"ve booted from KNoppix CD OR MY knoppix Hard Drive?
[17:59] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: really, i think its funny, i have to laugh every time it dies, just so i wont go insane
[17:59] <leal> any ideas?
[17:59] <mous16> jamie_: noway... sound converter and convertit loose all the metadatas, like  title or album.. other ideas?
[17:59] <darx> genii: i know that it is the latest from the repo but is it the latest that supports aiglx?
[17:59] <MrObvious> kane77: I just use the FN key + my adjustment keys on my laptop (up/down arrows) and it works fine.
[17:59] <neverblue> knoppix, this is a Ubuntu support channel, you might be a bit offtopic :)
[18:00] <misslecommander> bastid_raZor: i try to eliminate one by one, i fix things one by one, but the process is so slooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww
[18:00] <hendrixski> I know there's an apt-get build-dep ... is there something like that for run-time dependencies?  like to get the dependencies for a package without installing the package itself?
[18:00] <Pici> knoppix: Perhaps try #knoppix
[18:00] <jamie_> mous16: nope sorry, that hydrogen audio site has some pretty good forums, you might be able to get answers there
[18:00] <rama_8086> i got a source code from internet but iam unable to compile that code...is there any best tutorial to know how to compile source code
[18:00] <kane77> MrObvious, yes but that only changes backlight, is there something for contrast?
[18:00] <misslecommander> my lag-o-meter is gone now

[18:01] <Zoem> after the most recent  xorg update, I can get to the login screen, but whenever I attempt to start a session from there, it resets to the login screen. Any suggestions?
[18:01] <hendrixski> I know there's an apt-get build-dep ... is there something like that for run-time dependencies?  like to get the dependencies for a package without installing the package itself?
[18:01] <|REM|> how can i check to see if someone has ssh'ed into my pc?
[18:01] <Jack_Sparrow> knoppix: They are the ones that support their distro... You need to be patient and wait for them

[18:02] <MrObvious> Wow it's getting ready to snow here today and I'm hearing them test the tornado sirens. lol
[18:02] <Jed1> Keigo-kun  Maybe you should look in the error log for some clues!  (/var/log/apache2/error.log)
[18:02] <Cpudan80> cdsmithus: Nautalis crashed, no big deal
[18:02] <Cpudan80> cdsmithus: Does it happen every time you start up?
[18:02] <Keigo-kun> Jed1: Allready did, there's no error in it.
[18:02] <Pici> hendrixski: I dont believe so, but you could always look and install from `apt-cache depends packagename`
[18:02] <cdsmithus> Cpudan80: Okay, but it's happening about once per millisecond?
[18:02] <misslecommander> MrObvious, when i choose to download Nvidia Settings package, it wants to remove nvidia-gtk-new, nvidia settings make up for it ? i am not using restricted driver anyhow
[18:02] <hendrixski> Pici, yeah, but I gotta script this
[18:02] <Jed1> Keigo-kun  ok :)
[18:02] <MrObvious> misslecommander: No clue.
[18:03] <Cpudan80> cdsmithus: well how long does it go on for?
[18:03] <misslecommander> i stopped using it, it was nice, but it seemed to make things worse
[18:03] <hasse_> MrObvious, do you write me pm ?
[18:03] <genii> darx: For aiglx You would need to check the revision notes at http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Category:Releases
[18:03] <cdsmithus> Cpudan80: All the time.  If I delete it, it's a megabyte or so again by the time I can type 'ls'
[18:03] <misslecommander> for a while it ran beatiful, then just started to worke like a dead horse
[18:03] <Cpudan80> cdsmithus: Oh........... that's not good at all
[18:03] <Jed1> Keigo-kun  can you ping yourself?
[18:03] <cdsmithus> cpudan80: what is nautilus?
[18:04] <Jed1> Keigo-kun   ping 127.0.0.1  works?
[18:04] <genii> Keigo-kun: If you do: ping localhost                     does it succees or tell you it cannot find a route or some other type of error message?
[18:04] <genii> *succees->succeed
[18:04] <Cpudan80> cdsmithus: It's part of gnome -- the desktop manager
[18:04] <jamie_> my cd drives have completely disappeared from /dev/, they still work under my windows, any ideas on how to fix/diagnose?

[18:05] <bored_> i dnt want it to prompt for anything..
[18:05] <cdsmithus> cpudan80: Hmm.  Okay.  I'll keep poking around.
[18:05] <bored_> just perform the installation
[18:05] <Cpudan80> cdsmithus: Yeah - I dunno what could cause that --- the log should be /var/log
[18:05] <Ashfire908> what's that option for tar to strip begining folders?
[18:05] <leal> somebody??
[18:05] <neverblue> jamie_, what do you believe is the reason for the disappearance ?
[18:05] <bored_> or is there some way i can tell it not to do configuration but just do the installation..
[18:06] <Jed1> Keigo-kun  ok... you need to tune your network setup....
[18:06] <genii> Keigo-kun: with admin privelege then ad to the first line of the file /etc/hosts a line:         127.0.0.1       localhost                              then save. restart apache2 and try the localhost or 127.0.0.1 again in url bar

[18:09] <jamie_> neverblue: yup, its a hard problem to search, but i couldn't find anything, i also posted, not one reply
[18:09] <DRebellion> Lopin: the kernel won't let the program read memory outside what its been allocated so the program crashes.
[18:09] <nedw> does anyone have a suggestion for a good backup tool (not a time-machine clone)
[18:09] <tummyacid> Lopin: seg faults occure when something tries to access memory it isnt supposed to... usually means poor programming(though not always)
[18:10] <syntaxerror55> dissident: check http://appdb.winehq.org/ for apps that are known to work in wine

[18:11] <Jed1> Keigo-kun  Sorry  man... then I dont really know what to do...
[18:11] <Zoem> after the most recent  xorg update, I can get to the login screen, but whenever I attempt to start a session from there, it resets to the login screen. Any suggestions?
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Lopin: WHat were you doing that generated the error.. Installing any drivers perhaps
[18:11] <tsrk> Hi, how do I add myself to a group in the command line?
[18:11] <Keigo-kun> Jed1: What can make the computer unable to ping itself O.o sounds very odd
[18:11] <rama_8086> when iam doing ./configure for a software it showing,checking for working makeinfo... missing
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Zoem: I would start with recovery mode and manually reconfigure exserver-xorg
[18:11] <Jed1> Keigo-kun  Have you messed with configuration files in /etc ??
[18:11] <bkar> tummyacid-> you want guarantees?  you pay top money, you may get it or may not
[18:12] <tummyacid> tsrk : dont forget to type newgrp <group name> after you have been added to it
[18:12] <Keigo-kun> Jed1: No. I have installed and reinstalled apache2 at one point, but I made a complete removal so I don't see how it could matter
[18:12] <rama_8086> when iam doing ./configure for a software it showing,checking for working makeinfo... missing, how to solve that
[18:12] <Zoem> Jack_Sparrow,  using dpkg-reconfigure, or do you mean editing the configs?
[18:12] <Phalcon> Greetings, all.  I'm troubleshooting a problem logging in.  My desktop never appears and it goes back to the login prompt, no error.  I saw someone else with the same problem.  Has this already been resolved?
[18:12] <tummyacid> well i was kinda hoping to hear some anecdotes before i spent all day reinstalling operating systems just to play call of duty
[18:12] <ToxicSoul2> hey, I'm back. I had a question: the gnome failsafe session works but the other session doesn't, whats the easiest way to fix the first?
[18:13] <rsfriends> i have a video dvx, but want to convert to ipod, is their any program in  ubuntu that can do this  job;) thx for answare;)
[18:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Zoem: sudo dpkg rec....   or manually editing xorg.conf.. your choice
[18:13] <theunixgeek> Anyone good with OpenOffice.org Base and would like to help a newbie to it? :)
[18:13] <DRebellion> rsfriends: mencoder
[18:13] <Jed1> Keigo-kun   ok.. wait ... I will check one thing
[18:13] <rsfriends> thx ;) drebellion;)
[18:13] <DRebellion> rsfriends: ;)
[18:13] <hwilde> anybody an expert with Thunderbird filter rules?  I created a new account and I would like to copy the filter rules so I don't have to recreate each one by hand.
[18:13] <Zoem> Jack_Sparrow, well, I have no idea what could be wrong with the .conf, so I'll see if dpkg can fix it
[18:13] <bkar> Phalcon-> can you ctrl+alt+F3 and login  can you?
[18:13] <__SchmRz__> How do i install glibc 2.4 on ubuntu 6.06?
[18:13] <rsfriends> ;)
[18:14] <tummyacid> since all other proposed solutions have had absolutly zero effect on my error messages it occures id better spend the time reading a book
[18:14] <Pici> theunixgeek: Have you tried asking in #users.openoffice.org ?
[18:14] <rama_8086> ./configure results checking for working makeinfo... missing, how to solve that error
[18:14] <tsrk_> I accidently disconnected... Anyone know how I can add myself to a group in the command line?
[18:14] <genii> Keigo-kun: At any rate it seems to be more an issue with your network setup than apache
[18:14] <theunixgeek> Pici: no, I didn't know that channel existed. I'll check it out. ;)
[18:14] <DRebellion> __SchmRz__: sudo apt-get instal libc
[18:14] <Phalcon> bkar:  Yes.  I created a new account as a test, same issue.  I also asked about this on the forum site as well...
[18:14] <bkar> tsrk-> man groupadd
[18:14] <eugman> DHCP autoconfigure isn't working for me. I have an old ~2000 server I was given. I don't know how to manually configure dhcp or test if the computer's network card is working.
[18:15] <__SchmRz__> DRebellion, that does not work
[18:15] <bastid_raZor> tsrk_:: you could use sudo addgroup
[18:15] <Phalcon> bkar:  That is, yes, I can go to a terminal just fine and danday.
[18:15] <genii> tsrk_: sudo usermod -G -a <newgreoupname> <newgroupname2> <etc> username
[18:15] <DRebellion> __SchmRz__: what happens when you try? any error messages?
[18:15] <Jed1> Keigo-kun  try this in terminal:  sudo ifup lo
[18:15] <theunixgeek> Pici: actually, I have been there, but I joined it as #openoffice.org instead of #users.openoffice.org
[18:15] <__SchmRz__> DRebellion, Package libc has no installation candidate
[18:15] <tummyacid> tsrk: dont forget to use newgrp <grp name> as that user to switch groups....
[18:15] <VvWolverinevV> hi, im using istanbul desktop session recorder and the the output files always play with a green stripe in the middle of them, anyone know why?
[18:16] <VvWolverinevV> !istanbul
[18:16] <ToxicSoul2> Okay second question: Any idea why Solaris will run at 1280x1024 but I can only get ubuntu to work at 1024x768 (if I try 1280x1024 I get an out of range message..)
[18:16] <__SchmRz__> DRebellion, libc is base package. I don't think that i can install it that way.
[18:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about istanbul - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:16] <DRebellion> !msgthebot | VvWolverinevV

[18:16] <pure`eigenVector> istanbul was once constantinople

[18:17] <MrObvious> Solaris
[18:17] <MrObvious> :\
[18:17] <eugman> Anyone know what I need to do to configure dhcp manually?
[18:17] <__SchmRz__> Jack_Sparrow, how will i install new glibc version (2.4) i need it for supertuxkart :)
[18:17] <ToxicSoul2> yeah I got that, but for some reason ubuntu doesnt want to support the resolution
[18:17] <genii> eugman: dhcp server or dhcp client?
[18:18] <dissident> i have removed wine with uninstall but in applications menu i can still see wine and an app i once installed but already removed, so how can i permanently delete something of the app bar
[18:18] <eugman> genni, dhcp client. I'm doing a server install and it's not autoconfiguring dhcp.
[18:18] <Jack_Sparrow> __SchmRz__: What is the latest version in our repos
[18:18] <ToxicSoul2> I had to manually edit my xorg to even get this to load in 1024x768, ubuntu kept wanting to put me in 1280x1024 which was completely unusable
[18:18] <misslecommander> Jack_Sparrow: my wifi connects at boot, dont need to do a thing :)
[18:19] <bastid_raZor> dissident:: right click where it says applications and select edit Menus
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> cool
[18:19] <genii> eugman: man dhclient.conf               it's found in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf           you can set longer timeout periods, other things there
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> ToxicSoul2: What video card?
[18:19] <ToxicSoul2> Jack_Sparrow, rage 128
[18:19] <__SchmRz__> Jack_Sparrow, just a sec
[18:19] <wyclif> ok, this is ridiculous.  my gf saw i had BitchX installed, and thought it might be pr0n
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> ToxicSoul2: What all have you done or tried so far on that..
[18:19] <tummyacid> has anyone had the experiance where the ONLY way to get windows to dual boot with ubuntu is to install windows to the first partition of the drive? is this really my only option here? the swap (hd0) (hd1) command and its complement make no difference in the error messages when i type chainloader +1
[18:20] <wyclif> all b/c of that "X"
[18:20] <Jaza> I need help with dvd rip
[18:20] <eugman> genii, cool. Should I able to use the conf info from my laptop?
[18:20] <pure`eigenVector> wyclif: owned!
[18:20] <genii> eugman: Conceivably :)
[18:20] <eugman> genii, hopefully. Thanks.
[18:20] <wyclif> try explaining what IRC is in that context...
[18:20] <__SchmRz__> Jack_Sparrow, 2.3.6
[18:20] <genii> eugman: np
[18:20] <eugman> genii, Oh btw. How can I test if the network card is recognized once I finish the install?
[18:21] <pure`eigenVector> wget www.google.com
[18:21] <DRebellion> Jaza: have you tried inserting the dvdr into the drive? No, seriously tell us some more info first...
[18:21] <genii> eugman: Before reboot you mean?
[18:21] <Jaza> when I started I get an error "stdin player command: xine not found"
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> tummyacid: It can be done the other way.. but just easier to have windows on and let the ubuntu installer set it up.
[18:21] <ToxicSoul2> Jack_Sparrow, I edited the xorg just removing the resolutions to get it to start in 1024x768, but otherwise not much as far as getting it to work under 1280x1024
[18:21] <genii> eugman: Sorry, thinking ubuntu install instead of dhcp install there a second
[18:22] <rama_8086> how can write a CD or DVD from ubuntu
[18:22] <eugman> genii, I am doing a full install. After I get it intalled and have acess to the shell.
[18:22] <MGalaxy> Is it psooble to print to a PNG file? how?
[18:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ToxicSoul2: I am not sure where those fit in the radeon 7000 - 9500 series..
[18:22] <bkar> Phalcon-> if you look in your /var/log/auth.log  does it shed some light on the log-in/log-out process?
[18:22] <genii> eugman: OK. 1 minute.
[18:22] <__SchmRz__> Jack_Sparrow, the latest version is 2.3.6
[18:22] <dsturnbull> anyone have gutsy amd64 + creative sb x-fi xtreme gamer working?
[18:22] <Jaza> and "rar command (for vobsub compression):rar not found"
[18:22] <tummyacid> Jack_Sparrow : when i installed ubuntu it didnt notice the windows partition, but now thats its installed it had made a shortcut on the desktop to it.  Can i tell ubuntu to recheck for windows installs and attempt to configure them automatically?
[18:22] <bastid_raZor> rama_8086:: i tend to like some KDE apps.. K3b for example burns cd/dvd's with ease
[18:22] <Phalcon> bkar:  Checking...
[18:22] <Jack_Sparrow> __SchmRz__: Yep, I saw your post, just dont have time to help with that.
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> tummyacid: So you are in ubuntu now?
[18:23] <Ar-ras> bastid_raZor I dont wanna change Usplash i wanna create my own splash.rle
[18:23] <misslecommander> !burn > rama_8086
[18:23] <Jaza> drebellion any idea why that is?
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> tummyacid: Did you look at your boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:24] <Phalcon> bkar:  I see the session opened, then closed 4 seconds later.
[18:24] <bastid_raZor> Ar-ras:: that link had a how to on just that.
[18:24] <xybre> ToxicSoul2: wrong refresh rate?
[18:24] <genii> eugman: You can chroot there and do ifconfig...but it will be blank slate for stuff like hosts, /etc/network/interfaces and so on. Not to mention udev. But you could try these steps:
[18:24] <Jack_Sparrow> tummyacid: Also look at sudo fdisk -l
[18:24] <bkar> Phalcon-> nothing shed any lights on why it logs you out?
[18:24] <ToxicSoul2> xybre, should be right, was set to 76Hz
[18:25] <Jack_Sparrow> ToxicSoul2: Pastebin your xorg.conf ...  I will try to look at it before I have to leave
[18:25] <genii> eugman: sudo cp -a /etc/network/* /target/etc/network
[18:25] <DRebellion> Jaza: is xine installed on your system?
[18:25] <Keigo-kun> Jed1: I got this: Ignoring unknown interface lo=lo.
[18:25] <Phalcon> bkar:  Nothing I can see.  No files in the home directory are even touched, not even .xsession-errors
[18:25] <tummyacid> Jack_Sparrow : yes i havebeen using ubuntu for months and love! havnt missed the windows partition i had installed first since until today i wanted to play a little call of duty... but no way to get windows to boot.  Ive looked at /boot/grub/menu.lst and checked the search engines but none of the solutions offered seem to get around "Error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format"
[18:25] <Phalcon> bkar: I cannot find anything odd in /var/log either.
[18:25] <Ar-ras> bastid_raZor no? I wanna create a splash.rle, and that doesnt show me how
[18:26] <bkar> Phalcon-> which window manager do you use?
[18:26] <genii> eugman: sudo cp -a /etc/hosts /target/etc/hosts
[18:26] <bastid_raZor> Ar-ras:: i don't know what a splash.rle is.. sorry i thought you meant a usplash
[18:26] <Jaza> are you referring to xine extra pugins?
[18:26] <Phalcon> bkar:  KDE by default though same behavior with Gnome and XFCE.

[18:27] <Phalcon> I've even run rkhunter and chkrootkit just because I'm paranoid...  Nothing.
[18:27] <webwolf_27> tummyacid, could you paste your menu.lst in the pastebin
[18:27] <bkar> Phalcon-> maybe pam modules are kicking you out, maybe it has not passed, I forget how you log pam failures
[18:27] <mustafa> i'm sitting on a laptop with 'realtek wireless' label on it .. I can't see my wireless device .. can anyone help?
[18:28] <DRebellion> mustafa: try the command 'dmesg' look for wireless errors
[18:28] <neverblue> !wireless | mustafa
[18:28] <Phalcon> bkar:  I can ssh in...  I'll check for any pam errors.  Good idea..
[18:28] <Jaza> when I try to install it says" xine extra plugin cannot be install to your computer type
[18:28] <leal> ubotu: maybe it does not work at all. So, there is no need to ask.
[18:28] <genii> eugman: Forget the first one there about /dev/sdb1  and the others replace /mnt/ with /target/
[18:28] <ubotu> mustafa: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[18:28] <webwolf_27> mustafa, what chip?
[18:28] <tummyacid> Jack_Sparrow : thanks for the pointer ill check out fdisk -l but im not really using menu.lst for the testing im just hitting 'c' and then typing the commands in manaully to the grub console... it makes me feel safer not messing with grub directly until i know what to put in menu.lst but i can try it that way if you folks prefer

[18:30] <kraut> hi
[18:30] <jrib> hk2999: ask in #ubuntu-ops
[18:30] <Jaza> DRebellion when I try to install it says" xine extra plugin cannot be install to your computer type
[18:30] <pure`eigenVector> howdy kraut!
[18:30] <tummyacid> is grub like lilo used to be where you have to run an update command? im sorry i was so used to lilo that when grub came out i just took it at face value and never bothered to learn it like i should have
[18:30] <Keigo-kun> Jed1: I think we might got something there, I remember manually editing the networks config because I couldn't connect when I installed Ubuntu
[18:30] <Jack_Sparrow> tummyacid: Hope that made sense.. create copies of the windows loader section and paste a few copies, edit those leaving the original
[18:30] <kraut> wich package do i need use my nvidia graphics card with the binary driver?
[18:30] <jrib> !nvidia > kraut (read the private message from ubotu)
[18:30] <kraut> thanks
[18:31] <tummyacid> right right ive done that before i just though id check by manually typing in commands but i dont mind doing it thru the menu.lst if i can get help

[18:33] <leal> Hello, i was watching DVD's a few hour ago with totem in gutsy, now, no one DVD is playing anymore. The same DVD is not working..
[18:33] <u007-1> jetscreamer: i found it :D thanks
[18:33] <DRebellion> leal: have you updated between then and now?
[18:34] <leal> DRebellion: Nothing.
[18:34] <rencore_> why dont my usb devices get automounted
[18:34] <leal> really nothing!
[18:34] <Xabriel> ok, who wants to help me untangle my attempt at making a dual booting gutsy/XP laptop?
[18:34] <ToxicSoul2> Hmm I seemed to have fixed the problems I was having.. although that was the hardest ubuntu install I've ever done.. =p
[18:34] <leal> i have some "golden" rules, and one is not mess a working machine. :)
[18:35] <Jaza> can anyone help me with DVD rip when I try to install it says "when I started I get an error "stdin player command: xine not found"
[18:35] <webwolf_27> Xabriel, so whats wrong with it
[18:35] <DRebellion> Xabriel: just explain your situtation and someone will help
[18:35] <Phalcon> bkar: Not seeing anything odd with pam.  I have a lot of login/logout entries, cron is working, I can ssh in...
[18:35] <DRebellion> Jaza: what program you using to rip?
[18:35] <ToxicSoul2> oh fun, installed fluxbox and I dont get any menus *sigh*
[18:35] <leal> DRebellion: Do you know about a "known" bug with totem? I mean, there is a file to regenerate or something? I did try to find a local configuration, but did not find anything.
[18:36] <Jaza>  when I try to install it says" xine extra plugin cannot be install to your computer type
[18:36] <Jaza> dvd: rip
[18:36] <Xabriel> well, I installed gutsy, and everything was working fine, then I installed XP on a seperate partition, now I'm trying to sort thing out with grub (I'm using the super grub disk)
[18:36] <pure`eigenVector> any reasons why my ubuntu becomes slow to respond when transfering large files even though the cpu utilization and memory are very low?  Are my cpu monitors not reporting hard drive transfer activity?
[18:36] <u007-1> jetscreamer: gtk2.8 configure still states X not found, even installed xserver-xorg-dev
[18:36] <Tyczek> Do you experience problems with playing video on ati 7.12 ?
[18:37] <bkar> Phalcon-> I could not think of any solution
[18:37] <tummyacid> id paste my /boot/grub/menu.lst file but the only lines that would be intesresting (as far as i know) would be the following "root (hd1,0) <enter> makeactive <enter> chainloader +1 "
[18:37] <DRebellion> pure`eigenVector: your cpu monitors report cpu activity. nothing more, nothing less.
[18:37] <webwolf_27> Xabriel, youll need to use map in menu.lst to tell win it's on the primary partition
[18:37] <Jaza> DRebellion I'm trying to use DVD::rip
[18:37] <Xabriel> you're gonna have to tell me how to get there :P
[18:38] <Phalcon> bkar:  Me neither ;-)  Thanks for trying.   I'll continue to monitor the two threads posted on the forum.
[18:38] <jetscreamer> dvd::rip kinda blows, or did when i tried it 6 months or a year ago
[18:38] <jetscreamer> try avidemux
[18:38] <Lopin> I need help with a hanging install of server...
[18:38] <pure`eigenVector> DRebellion, but I was wondering if dma wasn't enabled causing the file transfer to eat up cpu cycles
[18:38] <DRebellion> Xabriel: does the computer boot? can you get into linux?
[18:38] <webwolf_27> Xabriel, damn it's been a while since I've dualbooted
[18:38] <Flannel> Lopin: Did you verify the CD? (check for defects)
[18:38] <kimmey2k3> Do I need some special codecs to play bluray 1080p movies?
[18:39] <jetscreamer> u007-1: not sure... there are other xorg -dev packages, they kinda go in tiers
[18:39] <Xabriel> not currently, I tried repairing the linux MBR with super grub, but I'm gettting error 15: File not found
[18:39] <Flannel> tummyacid: What are you trying to boot?  hd1,0 is hdb, of which... you appear to have no drives.  If I had to guess, I'd say hd2,1 is what you want to boot to
[18:39] <ThipThip> Wow, I'm very confused.  Here's my story:  In my curiosity, I read about CTRL-ALT-F1, which I thought would simply be a shortcut for opening a terminal window.  However, it took me to a terminal from which I knew not how to escape.  I pressed CTRL-ALT-DEL and my computer restarted, but now it boots in low graphics mode.  What's going on?
[18:39] <jetscreamer> you might need w32codecs maybe
[18:39] <webwolf_27> Xabriel, you'll need to boot with a livecd to restore grub
[18:39] <Xabriel> ok
[18:40] <Flannel> ThipThip: ctrl-alt-f7 gets you back to the GUI, ctrl-alt-f1 (through ctrl-alt-f6) get you to ttys
[18:40] <Xabriel> not the i368? that's what I had to use to install gutsy
[18:40] <echelon3> what is the current version of ubuntu
[18:40] <DRebellion> ThipThip: CTRL+ALT+F1 takes you to the *actual* terminal. a terminal window in gnome is simply an emulator of one of these.
[18:40] <echelon3> latest
[18:40] <freefal> 7.10
[18:40] <bkar> Phalcon-> just curious, if you ssh in using  ssh -X option, you can log in okay?
[18:40] <webwolf_27> then you'll have to add some map commands to menu.lst to get XP to boot
[18:40] <u007-1> jetscreamer: thank you :D i've found bunch of xorg to install :P
[18:40] <echelon3> when was 5.1 released
[18:40] <Pici> echelon3: 7.10, aka Gutsy Gibbon
[18:41] <Phalcon> bkar:  I'll check...
[18:41] <Pici> echelon3: 5.10 = 2005/10  so, october 2005.
[18:41] <tummyacid> Flannel: http://pastebin.com/d5edd6312      <---- results of fdisk -l   i agree, but the working ubuntu entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst refer to hd1,0  i am actually trying to use hdc but it makes no difference as they both yield the exact same error 13 when i try to boot windows from the grub console
[18:41] <webwolf_27> Xabriel, if it's not the alternate cd it'll work
[18:41] <mustafa> I found out I have a realtek RTL8101E .. now what should I do to install a driver for it?
[18:41] <Xabriel> ok
[18:41] <Flannel> tummyacid: Can you boot linux successfully?
[18:41] <ThipThip> wow - I feel like I'm in a parallel universe here.  OK, CTRL-ALT-F7 took me to a blank screen where I could type but do nothing.  I tried the rest of the CTRL-ALT-F buttons and found that F9 got me back here.
[18:41] <Keigo-kun> I can't ping localhost, what could be wrong?
[18:41] <tummyacid> Flannel : yes i am in ubuntu now
[18:41] <flipmode> #Kubuntu
[18:42] <ThipThip> (but I'm still in low graphics mode and can't seem to claw my way out)
[18:42] <Flannel> tummyacid: and the linux entries are hd1,X?
[18:42] <tehk> I am having trouble changing my cursor theme. I can change it on my kde sesion but it does not work in my xfce session
[18:42] <tofaffy> When I go into gconf-editor and go to apps>nautilus>desktop and try and set the icons where they don't show up on the desktop... I can't change them because they are set to schema. Where would I go to change this in the theme or whatever so they don't show up?
[18:42] <FYI> Is there anyway to see what programs are using your network connection on ubuntu?
[18:42] <tummyacid> Flannel : yes, would you like me to post my (practically default) /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[18:42] <FYI> I have a constant upload rate of like 5kbs and want to see what program is using it
[18:42] <Flannel> tummyacid: no, thats fine... just... troubling.
[18:42] <TheGateKeeper> is there a mail client which will minimise to the system tray, & notify when new mail arrives?

[18:43] <Daremonai> I need a good music streaming server for ubuntu, anyone has got one in mind? vlc was lagging a lot from the server side for some reason. and gnump3d shares the mp3s (in other words, people will be able to download the audio) - it doesn't work as radio-station-y
[18:43] <FYI> Pici: tahnks

[18:44] <AristoMagnus> Hello
[18:44] <webwolf_27> tummyacid, grub counts from 0 so hd0,0 is the first partition on the primary hd
[18:44] <basy> when i set timeout of screensaver to 1minute in dafalt desktop settings... my screensaver did nit start after 1 minutr but black screen starts after 5 minutes... Any idea where or what to set? i am on KDE kubuntu 7.10, 64bit...
[18:44] <Flannel> tummyacid: GRUB gets a list of harddrives from the BIOS, and it numbers them (starting with zero), partitions are also numbered from zero.  Linux, starts with a, (and 1) and also, differentiates between HD and SD (IDE and SATA, respectively) because its got more resources to be able to distinguish
[18:44] <Lopin> Can anyone help me?
[18:44] <Flannel> Lopin: did you verify the CD?
[18:44] <ThipThip> Flannel or DRebellion: I cannot seem to get back to regular graphics mode from whence I came.  I'm currently in CTRL-ALT-F9 land and very confused.  Can you direct me to a place where I might read about this dilemma (and perhaps the function of all the CTRL-ALT-* shortcuts)?
[18:44] <AristoMagnus> After setting up bing nsswitch.conf and openldap+samba for a directory server, Sometime, i can't login, the boot process stuck at bind9 startup... Did you ever see that problem with 7.10 server?

[18:45] <jlewis> [stupid question]....but I've seen all these demo's on desktop wall and desktop cube...assuming a 7.10 install with working compiz, how do I actually use whichever of these features is the active one?
[18:45] <AristoMagnus> After setting up bind9 nsswitch.conf and openldap+samba for a directory server, Sometime, i can't login, the boot process stuck at bind9 startup... Did you ever see that problem with 7.10 server?
[18:45] <tummyacid> ok ok question answered... so for /dev/hdc5 i would do root (hd2,4)   ??
[18:45] <jetscreamer> ThipThip: it's 'supposed' to be alt+F7 to get back to gui, and ctrl+alt+F(1-6) for consoles... not sure what you got, just that's what it's 'supposed' to be
[18:46] <ikonia> AristoMagnus bind9 has nothing to do with nsswitch.conf

[18:46] <pure`eigenVector> whoo hoo!!! finally got everything up and running in ubuntu!!!   Thanks everybody for the assistance and patience!!! You guys rawk!
[18:46] <tummyacid> w00t grats pure`eigenVector !!!
[18:46] <ThipThip> DRebellion:  CTRL+ALT+F7 takes me to a blank screen where I can type, but nothing happens.
[18:46] <Phalcon> bkar:  I can start xeyes anyway.  I'm too far away from the box to test much more than that at this point...
[18:46] <AristoMagnus> ikonia: I know but when i bootup, if it stuck at bind, i cant login with root and it stuck
[18:47] <ikonia> AristoMagnus: you can't login to ubuntu as root any way
[18:47] <AristoMagnus> ikonia: But if bind start and the rest just start, i can login...
[18:47] <DRebellion> ThipThip: that's really odd. You can't boot the computer in normal graphics mode?
[18:47] <AristoMagnus> ikonia: yes you can if you configure a password for root ;)
[18:47] <ikonia> AristoMagnus: look at the syslog for bind start issues, the hang is probably it trying to contact it's masters/slave ?
[18:47] <AristoMagnus> ikonia: anyway, that's not the point
[18:47] <bkar> Phalcon-> okay..am out of ideas anyways
[18:47] <ThipThip> DRebebellion:  I don't seem to be able to.  Rebooting brings me back here.
[18:47] <DRebellion> ThipThip: :/
[18:47] <ThipThip> I'll try again.
[18:47] <tummyacid> im rebooting now to try the new root command, this window will stay up though because its on a vnc to my other box, brb
[18:47] <ikonia> AristoMagnus: the point is if you doing things like configuring root passwords and dns servers you should know how to do basic debugging

[18:50] <DRebellion> eugman: to be honest, it's pretty self explanatory if you have enough background networking knowledge.
[18:50] <muuddflap> i have a lexmark z730 i can get it to feed paper but won't print can someone help
[18:50] <webwolf_27> tummyacid, can I see the relavant portion of your menu.lst
[18:51] <rencore_> why wont my usb devices automount
[18:51] <jetscreamer> muuddflap: lexmark has a linux section on their webpage, hth all i know
[18:51] <eugman> Drebellion, I thought that might be the case. I have a litlle but knowledge is accidentle. Of course I'm taking a networking couse so maybe that'll cover everything
[18:51] <jetscreamer> i have one but never tried hard to make it work
[18:51] <DRebellion> eugman: never stop learning ;)
[18:51] <muuddflap> thanks jet been there and nothing but thanks
[18:51] <jetscreamer> rencore_: they're not marked auto in fstab?
[18:52] <tummyacid> webwolf_27 : so far their isnt a portion of the menu.lst im using the grub console for testing but if i were to put one it would look like "root (2,4) <enter> makeactive <enter> chainloader +1 <enter>"
[18:52] <rencore_> jetscreamer, i dont know
[18:52] <eugman> Drebellion, The issue is finding the information sometimes.
[18:52] <bcardarella> Is there a way to choose the run level I boot into? (for recovery mode)
[18:52] <jetscreamer> rencore_: less /etc/fstab and see
[18:52] <webwolf_27> tummyacid, don't forget the maps or win won't run
[18:52] <Xabriel> webwolf_27: so, can I use the i386 disk? Cause the live CD doesn't boot on the laptop I'm working on.
[18:52] <Tyczek> how to change driver from catalist 7.12 to 8.1? just remove packages?
[18:53] <tummyacid> webwolf_27 : thanks ive got them in my notes but so far they havent changed any error messages... im glad someone else can confirm that they do help though
[18:53] <Lopin> is anyone even here?
[18:53] <tummyacid> webwolf_27 : any other pointers?
[18:53] <Lopin> HELLO!!!
[18:53] <webwolf_27> Xabriel, what cd did you use to install linux
[18:53] <rencore_> jetscreamer, where can i see if it automounts?
[18:54] <Flannel> Lopin: Did you verify the CD?
[18:54] <Xabriel> webwolf_27, i386
[18:54] <webwolf_27> tummyacid, in the future install windows first. Then install linux
[18:54] <Xabriel> webwolf_27, the alternate cd
[18:54] <webwolf_27> Xabriel, that should work
[18:54] <jetscreamer> rencore_: less /etc/fstab ... there may be a gnome specific automount that i know nothing of, though
[18:54] <jetscreamer> may also be
[18:54] <tummyacid> webwolf_27 : agreed, thats actually what i did but you are probably right it was a bad move to put windows into the extended partition

[18:55] <kantor> is there a program with witch I can add or change fat32 file system labels ?
[18:56] <webwolf_27> tummyacid, win insists on being on the first partition of the primary master. Thats why we need the maps

[19:02] <Stwange> can anyone give me a hand with the realplayer and mplayer plugin on firefox? I'm on 7.10 x86_64, but (I think) I'm running firefox32. When I click install plugins it can never find it, and trying to install it any other way has been a nightmare
[19:03] <webwolf_27> Xabriel, youll have to chroot into your root partition. mount (at the minimum) /boot (if you have one)
[19:03] <u007-1> my firefox is dead as well!
[19:03] <Pici> u007-1: I see libgtk2.12...
[19:03] <arooni> HEY TEAm!
[19:03] <MrObvious> Stwange: You'll probably have to download it manually.
[19:04] <MrObvious> Stwange: Just like flash.
[19:04]  * MrObvious goes to shower
[19:04] <arooni> i got a problem with my hardware... i hear one of my three hard drives spin up/shut down spin up/shut down.  how can i figure out via ubuntu which one it is?
[19:04] <u007-1> pici: okay, i'm done for...
[19:04] <flipmode> #Kubuntu
[19:04] <Stwange> MrObvious, it's been ages since I did that, but I'll see if I can find another tutorial
[19:04] <s0crates> hello everyone, I am trying to find some help for the ubuntu studio distro yet no one is present in that channel. I am hung up in the install, it fails in the "install software section" I've singled it out to the "ubuntu studio desktop" any ideas?

[19:04] <MrObvious> Stwange: It's on the wiki somewhere.
[19:04] <MrObvious> !po
[19:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about po - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:04] <Pici> !br | tecnicopabx
[19:04] <ubotu> tecnicopabx: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[19:04] <u007-1> pici: now most of the application is broken with gtk2.8
[19:04] <tsrk> Hi, when I run hybserv I get this error: Unable to read pid file /var/run/ircd/hybserv.pid.  The /var/run/ircd/ directory doesn't exist.  What should I do about that?  Is that file important?
[19:05] <Pici> u007-1: Why did you install 2.8?
[19:05] <ThipThip> I'm not exactly sure what I did, but whatever it was, I seem to have messed up my computer good.  Perhaps it was restarting in the middle of the update manager?
[19:05] <tecnicopabx> #ubuntu-br
[19:05] <u007-1> because i need php-gtk 2.0
[19:05] <u007-1> php gtk1.0 doesn't work with php5

[19:06] <tecnicopabx> ubuntu-br
[19:06] <Pici> u007-1: I'm not sure what kind of support you are expecting if you've manually installed a lower version number package than the one that comes with Ubuntu.
[19:06] <Xabriel> webwolf_27, you're gonna have to give me pretty detailed instructions, I'm pretty new ubuntu/linux
[19:06] <Pici> tecnicopabx: /j #ubuntu-br
[19:06] <mustafa> how do I easily install a wireless device .. realtek 8101e?

[19:07] <jahubuntu> dr
[19:07] <u007-1> pici: i can't get gtk2.6 or higher
[19:07] <tecnicopabx> ubuntu-pt
[19:07] <quaal> eric, at what point
[19:07] <u007-1> pici: and its only gtk2.1
[19:07] <Pici> u007-1: libgtk2.12 is in the Gutsy repos.
[19:07] <tecnicopabx> #ubuntu-pt
[19:07] <Pici> u007-1: Thats two dot twelve, not 2.2.1
[19:07] <u007-1> pici: so in other word, i can never get php-gtk to run at all?
[19:07] <Pici> u007-1: er, not 2.1.2
[19:08] <eric> when i try to upgrade i get failed to fetch error, i'm working to duplicate the problem now
[19:08] <s0crates> am I visible?
[19:08] <u007-1> pici: yes, i needed 2.8 not 2.1
[19:08] <Starnestommy> s0crates: looks like it
[19:08] <s0crates> Starnestommy: thanks :)
[19:08] <fghcx> hello, I've got a problem. If I want to install Ubuntu my monitor turns off
[19:08] <DIL_> i cant see you
[19:08] <oozaru> irc://irc.rizon.net/kyuuketsuki
[19:08] <Pici> u007-1: 2.8 is a LOWER version than 2.12
[19:08] <s0crates> I guess I can't get any help for ubuntu studio around here then :/
[19:08] <eth01> you join #ubuntu-studio
[19:08] <u007-1> and why the hell i cannot have php4 and php5 in 1 box?
[19:09] <eth01> u007-1, you can.
[19:09] <Stwange> MrObvious, erm the tutorial for the RealPlayer plugin (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins) points me to http://forms.real.com/real/realone/intl/focus.html?loc=gb&lang=en&oem=rp10_us&tagtype=applet&type=rp10_us for the download, when I click "Linux & Unix" it takes me to http://www.real.com/linux?pcode=rn&opage=freeplayer_partner&src=112206focus if I then click "Download RealPlayer", it takes me back to the previous websi
[19:09] <Stwange> te, and I end up in a loop
[19:09] <s0crates> eth01 yeah I did but no one is in there
[19:09] <MirJA> u007-1, because they would CONFLICT with each other
[19:09] <eth01> s0crates, it has 47 users. be patient ;)
[19:09] <DIL_> they only work in heaven
[19:09] <joshua> How far does the installation go?
[19:09] <eric> quall this is what i get "Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...rce/Sources.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)"
[19:09] <MirJA> u007-1, you see its literelly impossble to have two versions of one software in one machine
[19:09] <s0crates> yeah I know, I'll just wait.. farewell then! and long live ubuntu!
[19:10] <joshua> At what point does the monitor die?
[19:10] <eth01> slight contradiction
[19:10] <fghcx> I press in the Bootmenu on Install and then my Display turns off
[19:10] <u007-1> mirja: i could do that on windows..
[19:10] <u007-1> linux is so dependant on the libraries..
[19:10] <MirJA> u007-1, forget winblowzz mate, its the linux world
[19:10] <Xabriel> D: webwolf is gone! who wants to help me fix my attempt at dual booting?
[19:10] <MirJA> and you are welcome here ;)
[19:10] <u007-1> example, yum, conflicting with python version
[19:10] <u007-1> what the...
[19:11] <Pici> u007-1: yum?
[19:11] <u007-1> i remembered the last time, i've had php4 and php5 in 1 linux box
[19:11] <u007-1> why ubuntu have to limit it?
[19:11] <frankS_> anyone have a tip for a easy to use desktop, not kde and not gnome
[19:11] <Flannel> u007-1: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[19:11] <Starnestommy> frankS_: xfce?
[19:11] <u007-1> 7,1
[19:11] <eric> quaal you there
[19:11] <u007-1> gutsy
[19:11] <Pici> !enter
[19:11] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[19:12] <joshua> XFCE is good
[19:12] <emre> hi folks. i can't find a user manual for the gnome keyring manager. can anyone give a url?
[19:12] <Flannel> u007-1: php4 isn't installable, because its not supported at all
[19:12] <joshua> or check Elive
[19:12] <u007-1> flannel: yes, i understand, but don't you give option for people to install without support?
[19:12] <sp0ro> I have a SAMBA server setup on my linux box. My Windows client can connect to it, but I get a "Network path was not found." returned on the Windows client. I have a feeling my "path =" line has something to do with it, but no matter what I change the path's directory to, it won't work. Any ideas?
[19:12] <Meronik> which virtual machine for windows is better for ubuntu?
[19:12] <xybre> My computer hates me.
[19:12] <AristoMagnus> ikonia: I don't think the bind hang because of a misconfiguration..
[19:12] <Flannel> u007-1: You can always compile it yourself.  php4 isn't
[19:12] <frankS_> joshua: thanks, kde and gnome dont get installed in my distro. broken packages :(
[19:13] <OffMan2000> CiAo A TuTTi
[19:13]  * xybre stabs X
[19:13] <frankS_> so i gotta use something else
[19:13] <OffMan2000> !list
[19:13] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[19:13] <Pici> !it | OffMan2000
[19:13] <QuickGold> Can someone tell me the name of a GUI for administering Apache?
[19:13] <tummyacid> yay im back... something new happened this time i managed to get it to hang after displaying "Starting up" by using root (0,4)  even though the drive is def on /dev/hdc  no other drives are recognized by grub other then hd0 and the swap commands dont seem to help but i can cause dis i/o errors if i use them wrong.  One question once i swap (hd0,4) (hd0,0) and swap (hd0,0) (hd0,4) which am i supposed to use when i type root (hdx,y) and does it matter wha
[19:13] <Flannel> u007-1: php4 isn't just "not supported" but its not even in the repos, because its been unsupported for so long
[19:13] <MirJA> Meronik, you want to installed vm in winblowz, or you want vm on ubuntu
[19:13] <OffMan2000> !it
[19:13] <MirJA> ?
[19:13] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[19:13] <u007-1> flannel:  rather than compillig php4, i decided to go with gtk.. and now.. i'm doomed
[19:13] <MirJA> Meronik, whatever it is, i would suggest vmware (mind you its not free) :)
[19:13] <twistedbeatfreek> IN apperanace prefrences it wont let me select extras says the composite extension is not availabe how do i fix this
[19:13] <dsturnbull> Stwange: did you get it working? i just fixed that problem myself
[19:14] <tummyacid> so i guess thats two poorly worded questions
[19:14] <AristoMagnus> ikonia: It is intermitent, but when bind hang on startup, samba and openldap doesnt start and that disable the login to work (nsswitch.conf is configure to be compat ldap)
[19:14] <frankS_> QuickGold: there is none.... try webmin
[19:14] <Meronik> MirJA: how about MS VPC?
[19:14] <Stwange> dsturnbull, give me one second and I'll know :)
[19:14] <QuickGold> frankS_: I thought there was a GUI to administer like the virtual hosts and what not
[19:14] <MirJA> Meronik, never used
[19:14] <mutable> hello, how can i set 'apt-cache search sth' to show full package version please? i cannot find it in man page...
[19:14] <Prince_Andrei> anyone have a second to answer a noob question?
[19:14] <Meronik> what is the minimum RAM for ubuntu? I am setting up the machine
[19:15] <MirJA> Prince_Andrei, shooooot!
[19:15] <joshua> do you need a GUI?
[19:15] <QuickGold> !ask | Prince_Andrei
[19:15] <ubotu> Prince_Andrei: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[19:15] <tummyacid> Prince_Andrei : sure, except that was my only second to anser a noob question, so i hope that was the one you wanted to ask...
[19:15] <Prince_Andrei> my install has become corrupt i think... it freezes. I had hardware issues that are fixed now
[19:15] <Meronik> joshua: me?
[19:15] <Prince_Andrei> can i repair my ubuntu install?
[19:15] <Meronik> me - yes
[19:15] <MirJA> Prince_Andrei, if the issues are fixed, then try installing the system again my frend :)
[19:16] <joshua> Meronik: Yes
[19:16] <twistedbeatfreek> IN apperance prefrances it wont let me select extras its says the composite extension is not available how is this fixed
[19:16] <ubunman> #pardus
[19:16] <Prince_Andrei> it now locks up periodically
[19:16] <Prince_Andrei> it didn't before
[19:16] <quaal> eric, hi
[19:16] <Meronik> joshua: yes
[19:16] <Meronik> ))
[19:16] <quaal> sorry bathroom break
[19:16] <ubunman> hi
[19:16] <ubunman> hello
[19:16] <dsturnbull> Stwange: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Firefox32_in_AMD64 these instructions (generally) worked
[19:16] <Prince_Andrei> all programs periodically freeze with no combination of keystrokes allowing me to escape
[19:16] <eric> hi
[19:16] <Stwange> dsturnbull, erm I think I got a problem with the tutorial. It's telling me to sudo ln -s /usr/local/realplayer32/realplay /usr/local/bin/realplay but /usr/local/bin/realplay doesn't exist
[19:17] <u007-1> anyway i could reinstall package with apt-get?
[19:17] <ubunman> pardus and ubuntu installed in my system
[19:17] <joshua> Meronik: 256 will do. 512 is better for Gnome or KDE
[19:17] <Meronik> so what's the min RAM"?
[19:17] <MirJA> Prince_Andrei, less RAM could be an issue ? not sure thought
[19:17] <MirJA> though**
[19:17] <Pici> u007-1: apt-get install --reinstall packagename
[19:17] <eric> quaal any luck with that error code
[19:17] <tummyacid> alright folks thanks a lot for the help at least now im getting total lockups as opposed to useless generic error messges... i feel ive accomplished something here but i need to take a lunch break, good luck and thanks for your time
[19:17] <u007-1> pici: its my mistake, ... i thought 2.8 is higher than 2.10
[19:17] <joshua> Meronik: XFCE will run good on 256
[19:17] <Starnestommy> u007-1: sudo aptitude reinstall packagename?
[19:17] <u007-1> pici: okay
[19:17] <Pici> u007-1: Its a bit confusing, but yes :)
[19:17] <dsturnbull> Stwange: oh realplayer? i thought you were doing flash plugin :p
[19:17] <Meronik> ok, thanks, why so much? even more than Winblows lol
[19:17] <MirJA> u007-1, the latest one is 2.12
[19:17] <Prince_Andrei> MirJA: I had 4 gigs and now am running 2 (others went bad)
[19:18]  * dsturnbull misread
[19:18] <ubunman> when i logged into ubuntu, i cannot access with normally user except root
[19:18] <Stwange> nah dsturnbull, I got that one working some time back (no idea how :)) but thanks anyway - it was a similar tutorial i was looking for
[19:18] <joshua> Meronik: More than Win? Have you tried Vista on 256???
[19:18] <MirJA> u007-1, why dont you build from the sources ?
[19:18] <Meronik> joshua: I am talking about WinXP
[19:18] <MirJA> Prince_Andrei, whoaa, then its not RAM i guess
[19:18] <Meronik> i don't have vista
[19:18] <Stwange> so does anyone know what to do with this? sudo ln -s /usr/local/realplayer32/realplay /usr/local/bin/realplay - /usr/local/bin/realplay doesn't exist on my system
[19:18] <ubunman> i cannot access pardus partition on ubuntu with user.
[19:18] <joshua> Meronik: Linux will perform much better the Win on 256
[19:18] <Prince_Andrei> I'm just wondering if there is a simple way to do a complete repair to a ubuntu installation
[19:19] <twistedbeatfreek> can anyone help me fix desktop cube im going crazy
[19:19] <MirJA> Prince_Andrei, are you saying that you _had_ 4 gigs of RAM and now you have 2 gigs left ?
[19:19] <zobban> hi i have lots of files on my ubuntu how can i remove them all with one command
[19:19] <Linuxishawt> does anyone know of any issues trying to mount to a Administrative share on a Server 2003 box?
[19:19] <Prince_Andrei> MirJA: yes
[19:19] <Pici> Linuxishawt: ask in ##windows.
[19:19] <InGunsWeTrust> What DVD program can I use to rip and burn DVDs and convert them from PAL to NTSC
[19:19] <joshua> Meronik, just give it a shot. You'll be astonished
[19:19] <MirJA> Prince_Andrei, damnn mann thats hell lot of RAM you got there, i have just 512 MB  :-s
[19:19] <Meronik> will ANY of my windos application work in ubuntu with help of "wine"?
[19:19] <Prince_Andrei> MirJA: heh...
[19:19] <quaal> eric, sorry you were the one getting error during reinstall?
[19:19] <quaal> when does the error occur
[19:20] <zobban> you can use devede for dvd burning
[19:20] <u007-1> pici: i can't reinstall, it states already latest version
[19:20] <MirJA> InGunsWeTrust, mplayer, mencoder,  transcode, dvd-author

[19:20] <zobban> hi i have lots of files on my ubuntu how can i remove them all with one command

[19:20] <pijiu> I managed to get 1360x768 resolution on my HDTV through 915resolution, however I wish to disable my laptop display and use only the HDTV. Whenever I go into 'Screens and Graphics' it only shows me as using one display when it's not the case, could anyone help?
[19:20] <Stwange> zobban, you realise that if you do that you won't be able to use your ubuntu any more?
[19:20] <DRebellion> zobban: sudo rm -rf / ?? <---- do NOT run that command
[19:21] <MirJA> InGunsWeTrust, for ripping: dvdrip , for burning : k3b , for authoring dvd : dvd-author
[19:21] <zobban> no i want to remove all files endin .wmv
[19:21] <zobban> how can i do that
[19:21] <joshua> Ingunswetrust : dvd-author is great. qdvdauthor for a nice gui
[19:21] <DRebellion> zobban: rm -rf *.wmv
[19:21] <InGunsWeTrust> Thanks a lot! :)
[19:21] <bardyr> zobban, you dont need -r !
[19:22] <MirJA> zobban, or -f, rm *.wmvwould do the job
[19:22] <zobban> so how is the command rm -f *wmv
[19:22] <DRebellion> zobban: if you are already in the directory then yes
[19:22] <MirJA> damn my spacebar is screwed
[19:22] <InGunsWeTrust> my medibuntu repository says it is not authenticated. what command do i use to install the key for it?
[19:22] <Meronik> hey, guys. does ap get use http to get the application?
[19:23] <Starnestommy> zobban: rm -f *.wmv
[19:23] <bardyr> zobban, i make it .wmv
[19:23] <Flannel> Meronik: it can, or ftp
[19:23] <pure`eigenVector> MirJA: Spacebars are overrated
[19:23] <Starnestommy> Meronik: I think so
[19:23] <u007-1> pici: nevermind :) i got it :)
[19:23] <zobban> whey when i do ls i still se .wmv files
[19:23] <sp0ro> What is the full file path for the ~/home folder?
[19:23] <Flannel> sp0ro: /home/username/home
[19:23] <Prince_Andrei> Does anyone have any advice on how to repair a ubuntu installation that has become corrupt?
[19:23] <Flannel> sp0ro: er, ~/ is /home/username
[19:23] <Stwange> sp0ro, if you type ~ and press tab it will tel you
[19:23] <mustafa> ubuntu sucks :-(
[19:24] <zobban> no
[19:24] <philip__> what is ubuntu
[19:24] <sp0ro> Flannel, so /home/username/home is under the root file system?
[19:24] <Stwange> sp0ro, or maybe not, I thought it did
[19:24] <DRebellion> Prince_Andrei: corrupt in what way?
[19:24] <Meronik> philip__: freedom

[19:24] <joshua> You want to know what it means?
[19:24] <Prince_Andrei> DRebellion: it locks up randomly now
[19:24] <sp0ro> Flannel, Stwange, trying to figure out where ~/home lies in the full file path system
[19:24] <Starnestommy> zobban: which command did you use?
[19:24] <DiceyDays> To install KDE4, i just do sudo aptitude install kde4-core right? Or do I need another repository?
[19:24] <genii> zobban: sudo rm *.wmv
[19:24] <DRebellion> !doesnt work | rootborn
[19:24] <rootborn> I don't know what I had install on debian and it work
[19:24] <ubotu> rootborn: 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.
[19:24] <sp0ro> Flannel, Stwange, I don't see it anywhere under the root file system
[19:24] <morphir> how can one create a ca.cert file?

[19:25] <joshua> Meronik: No!
[19:25] <Starnestommy> Meronik: most will, some games may have trouble
[19:25] <Flannel> sp0ro: ~/ is your homedir, ~/home is a directory "home" inside your homedir.

[19:25] <Prince_Andrei> I've had good luck with Wine
[19:25] <Keigo-kun> genii: Just for future reference, I found the error. I had no loop-back stuff in my /etc/network/interfaces. Added a standard one and now it works fine.
[19:25] <DRebellion> ~ is /home/<username>
[19:25] <joshua> Meronik ; Which app are you planning?
[19:25] <genii> Keigo-kun: Good :) All is a learning experience
[19:25] <sp0ro> Pici, Flannel, I know, I am trying to figure out the FULL file path for it for networking purposes because /home is not working for file sharing purposes.
[19:26] <Keigo-kun> genii: Truely :)
[19:26] <Meronik> joshua: about a hundred for the beginning, until I find linux alternatives
[19:26] <Pici> sp0ro: ~/folder is located in /home/username/folder

[19:28] <yapyccky> zobban, i cant login with hamachi. im getting crazy
[19:28] <Meronik> joshua: this is after wine fails?

[19:28] <ubotu> lajujkej: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[19:29] <joshua> Meronik : Yes
[19:29] <zobban> sorry i dont know what is hamachi

[19:29] <yapyccky> ok zobban thx anyway for help
[19:29] <zobban> sure anytime
[19:29] <genii> daxroc: Did you restart webserver after you installed trac ?

[19:30] <ikeaman> is there an ubuntu dist with nomachine and network-boot support for my old computer?

[19:30] <DigitalNinja> Is it possible to install the Gutsy kernel on Dapper?
[19:30] <babo> everytime I use a vm, whether it's qemu or vmware - I go to full screen and the vm screen ends up being the exact same (small) size. But the rest of the screen fills with black.
[19:30] <MirJA> eugman, shutdown -h 0
[19:30] <Pici> eugman: halt
[19:30] <genii> daxroc: sudo apt-get install clearsilver-dev
[19:30] <babo> full-screen = same size
[19:31] <babo> anyone have any ideas why ?
[19:31] <Jaza> Can anyone help me with xine, when I try to install it tell me it cannot be installed on my computer (i386)
[19:32] <babo> DigitalNinja, the gutsy kernel ?
[19:32] <MirJA> Jaza, what _exactly_ are the errors ?
[19:32] <MichaelSammels> How do I get the Intel 845G Onboard graphics working in Ubuntu 6.06?
[19:32] <babo> you mean the linux kernel ?
[19:32] <babo> gutsy doesn't have a kernel afaik ...
[19:32] <zobban> hi i deleted the files they wen to /home/zobban/.Trash can i remove allso from there
[19:32] <genii> Jaza: What more precisely does it say, yes. If long, use the pastebin please
[19:32] <genii> !pastebin
[19:32] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[19:32] <DigitalNinja> babo: Yup!
[19:32] <valemon>  hello
[19:32] <babo> gutsy is just the distro ...
[19:33] <babo> DigitalNinja, upgrade your kernel
[19:33] <lajujkej> I have php5 and phpcommon installed.  I also have apache2 and mysql.  Do you think I need a different version of php
[19:33] <zobban> hi i deleted the files they wen to /home/zobban/.Trash can i remove allso from there
[19:33] <eric> has anyone solved the problem with upgrading from fiesty to gutsy? I recieve this error during the first stage of upgrading---"Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...rce/Sources.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)"
[19:33] <danfg> guys, i'm trying to setup sudo to allow a regular user to run a command without asking for a password, but it's not working in ubuntu, sudo asks the password anyway
[19:33] <daxroc> genii: I dont need the development packages
[19:33] <cw101> eric: yes
[19:33] <cw101> its the terminal
[19:33] <DigitalNinja> babo: If I upgrade the dapper kernel I only get an old one. I want a new kernel. That's why I want to know if I can install the gutsy kernel on dapper
[19:33] <MirJA> zobban, trash folder is just like windows recycle bin, and yes you can remove the files from there as well
[19:33] <cw101> you have to change the terminal
[19:33] <Jaza> it ells me that the application requires special hardware features or the vender decided not to support your computer type
[19:33] <sp0ro> Anyone know why /home wouldn't be showing up on a SAMBA server on my windows client even with the permissions set to 777?
[19:33] <twistedbeatfreek> i cant get desktop cube working can anyone help
[19:33] <Meronik> what will happen to other commercial OS (u know who i mean) when Linux spreads all over?

[19:33] <zobban> how can i remove from there
[19:34] <cw101> eric: let me login to tell you
[19:34] <daxroc> genii: I think its a bug in the way it was compiled , 64bit here
[19:34] <eric> cw101 --ok
[19:34] <MirJA> zobban, cant you cd in .trash ?
[19:34] <genii> daxroc: python-clearsilver is only the python bindings. clearsilver itself only comes in a dev package

[19:34] <santosh_> hello can anyone help me in configuring my ethernet card with dhcp client
[19:34] <Forsakensoul> because no one in the winehq is writing anything
[19:34] <babo> DigitalNinja, hmm dunno dude. As far as I'm aware, you can upgrade the kernel on dapper to the latest linux kernel no problem. Have you done a restart ?
[19:35] <zobban> zobban@matrix:~/.Trash$ ls
[19:35] <zobban> zobban@matrix:~/.Trash$
[19:35] <zobban> it does not show any files
[19:35] <Pici> u007-1: The package names are gtk2.0-0, but the versions for those are 2.12
[19:35] <MirJA> santosh_, which card?

[19:35] <cw101> eric: you can login remotely, but you can't login locally?
[19:35] <DigitalNinja> babo: I think you only get 2.6.15 if you do apt-get upgrade
[19:35] <pike_> danfg: or just a specific group?
[19:35] <santosh_> mirja: card comes with nvidia chipset
[19:35] <Dotel> evening everyone

[19:36] <danfg> pike_: i'm just testing NOPASSWD btw, i've no intention of letting myuser run any command, but only a specific command

[19:36] <twistedbeatfreek> can aqnyone help me get my desktop cube working

[19:36] <santosh_> mirja, right now i am connected through wireless data card, but want to configure through ethernet card
[19:36] <DigitalNinja> babo: I did compile a new kernel. It works! However, I get these errors "euevent" during boot. I don't know what that means
[19:36] <valemon> anyone?
[19:36] <DigitalNinja> babo: The kernel works though
[19:37] <eric> I'll check again
[19:37] <simion314_> hi, i want an application for recoding the screen for video tutorials, any suggestions?

[19:37] <babo> DigitalNinja, well if it works then what's the problem ? boot up always throws up errors, most of which you can ignore methinks ...
[19:37] <Starnestommy> valemon: /etc/network/interfaces?

[19:54] <Administrator> Are there any known compatibility problems with Intel network adapters? Or certain brands of modems? My internet seems to be very intermittent. Sometimes it works, other times it is incredibly slow...
[19:54] <twistedbeatfreek> in appearance prefrences  ive been trying to make EXTRAS to work but an error saying composite extention is not availabe any ideas how to make it work????
[19:54] <Matic`Makovec> Hello there. Does anyone at all have any idea why would nautilus be taking over 80% of CPU for quite some time now?
[19:54] <x-X-x> MrObvious im overclocking a geforce go 7300 using the extra feature coolbits with nvidia-settings in terminal. my problem is that when i move the slider to my desired number, after i press apply it resets back to the original.
[19:54] <DRebellion> Matic`Makovec: its a recent bug that's cropped up. I'm getting it too.
[19:55] <daxroc> Administrator: google your chipset , lspci will output info
[19:55] <MrObvious> x-X-x: No clue. I've never overclocked a video card or had a need to.
[19:55] <MrObvious> x-X-x: Well I've played with it but never really done it seriously.
[19:55] <recon69> MrObvious: thx, i did the apt-get and the nvidia drivers compiled , for some reason they where not updated
[19:55] <DRebellion> Matic`Makovec: if you're trying to shut down - CTRL+ALT+F2 then login and type the command sudo halt
[19:55] <MrObvious> x-X-x: I'm more into CPU/RAM ocing.
[19:55] <x-X-x> MrObvious well i cant even play with it :S
[19:55] <Administrator> I've done a google of my chipset so far, but I didn't find any info about it, regarding compatibility. I'll run lspci though.
[19:55] <MrObvious> recon69: Good to hear.
[19:55] <MrObvious> x-X-x: Try that site I suggested.
[19:55] <daxroc> x-X-x: nvclock worked for me ( under a diffrent distro ) will revert on reboot iirc
[19:55] <Matic`Makovec> DRebellion, ah, a bug, thanks
[19:56] <twistedbeatfreek> in appearance prefrences  ive been trying to make EXTRAS to work but an error saying composite extention is not availabe any ideas how to make it work????
[19:56] <Starnestommy> twistedbeatfreek: did you try installing ati's drivers?
[19:56] <n1bble> hi guys. kind of a weird situation. was upgrading from 7.04 to 7.1, and the power went out at about 80% install.  it boots to a blank background and mouse, but nothing after that, can also get to the other shells. any way to resume safely, or am i better off restarting?
[19:56] <DRebellion> Matic`Makovec: Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
[19:56] <santosh_> anybody have idea how to identify laptop display manufacturer? My laptop is compaq-presario v6608au model with amd turion processor
[19:56] <Matic`Makovec> Hopefully indeed

[19:57] <Starnestommy> twistedbeatfreek: go to System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager
[19:57] <cw101> Jouva: try using tvtime for wintv pci card
[19:57] <Administrator> I just ran lspci. It confirmed that I'm googling the right chipset. Still, I've been searching google for a while for any information about this chipset, and can't find anything regarding Ubuntu compatibility
[19:57] <cw101> Jouva: or mythtv
[19:57] <cw101> Jouva: I suggest tvtime
[19:58] <DRebellion> !hcl > Administrator (maybe the pm from ubotu will help?)
[19:58] <Meronik> how can I edit wine's windows registry?
[19:58] <Jouva> cw: That's not the answer I'm looking for :) I'm not looking for a program I'm looking to get it to be recognized period.
[19:58] <wififun> I need to move 4 software raid drives from a NAS that has gone bad to my Ubuntu machine and mount the volume. md2 is installed, but I am not sure how to configure it to see sda sdb sdc sdd as a group.
[19:58] <u007-1> pici: do you know which package i miss out for  /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_hash_table_ref
[19:58] <twistedbeatfreek> starnestommy: ok it says i have an ati driver
[19:58] <DRebellion> Meronik: there is regedit in ~/.wine
[19:58] <Starnestommy> twistedbeatfreek: is it both enabled and in use?
[19:58] <cw101> Jouva: the tvtime recognizes most tv cards... you don't have to install anything
[19:59] <Leopardc65> wt do u mean byt hold the fn button down?  do u mean "F" + "N" and "down"  ?
[19:59] <cw101> Jouva: just install the tvtime software
[19:59] <twistedbeatfreek> starnetommy: yeah it is
[19:59] <Jouva> Oh and my bluetooth dongle is recognized by Ubuntu. The bluetooth icon appears, but nothing can connect to it and it can't find anything, even with "visible and connectable for other devices" enabled, yet the other devices could find each other
[19:59] <DRebellion> Leopardc65: i think by 'n' he means 1/2/3/etc
[19:59] <santosh_> DRebellion: lspci doesnt show display details
[19:59] <Meronik> how do I open chm files in Ubuntu?

[20:00] <ubotu> Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.
[20:01] <Meronik> thank you guys!
[20:01] <leal> there is a way to tell nautilus to "open" some "specific" folder with some specific app (by default)?
[20:01] <Leopardc65> i'm tring to install ubuntu but my virtual machine asks me to push F3 but when i do that my volume turn of bacause i'm using Mac
[20:01] <MirJA> Meronik, xchm
[20:01] <Leopardc65> do u know wt i can do?
[20:01] <cw101>  apt-get install gnochm

[20:02] <Jouva> cw: That's just it. /dev/video* doesn't exist
[20:02] <DRebellion> Leopardc65: there should be a special shortcut setup by your vm software
[20:02] <DRebellion> n1bble: i would recommend just starting again - format the disk when it asks you to
[20:02] <cw101> Jouva: check on the web if your devices are supported
[20:02] <Jouva> it is
[20:02] <Jouva> It's a WinTV card that I've used in the past under linux
[20:02] <Jouva> It's an older WinTV card
[20:03] <Leopardc65> i' going to try to set up some sort cut if is possible ..
[20:03] <cw101> Jouva: try lspci
[20:03] <cw101> Jouva: does it pick it up?
[20:03] <leal> i could put the app in the list (right click), but i want it by default.
[20:03] <Starnestommy> twistedbeatfreek: is the package xorg-driver-fglrx installed?
[20:03] <Jouva> That's the OTHER thing. It doesn't get picked up and prior to installing Linux I was able to use the card. Mind you the tuner is broken, but the S-Video in works just fine.
[20:03] <frustrated_newbi> hi
[20:04] <cw101> Jouva: and it works fine under windows?
[20:04] <Jouva> Yes.

[20:05] <solexious> Hello all, any one know if I can enable rpc on my ubuntu box so i can defrag it from a windows box?
[20:05] <DRebellion> Jouva: have you checked output from the command 'dmesg'?
[20:05] <ghost> Need a cls to convert folder full of .jpg into .rar
[20:05] <Starnestommy> frustrated_newbi: it's either the package freetype1-tools or type1inst
[20:05] <ghost> I imagine i could do this with the cp command?
[20:05] <Jouva> DRebellion: I'll look more at it, but so far I've not seen anything directly about it

[20:06] <cw101> it uncompresses all of the files
[20:06] <ghost> file.jpg  into file.rar

[20:07] <goodhabit> !flash
[20:07] <solexious> Hello all, any one know if I can enable rpc on my ubuntu box so i can defrag it from a windows box?
[20:07] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[20:07] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[20:07] <ghost> I would us CP for that?
[20:07] <DRebellion> ghost: no 'mv#
[20:07] <DRebellion> ghost: no 'mv'
[20:07] <Dr_willis> the 'rename' command can do that also I think.
[20:07] <bastid_raZor> ghost if that is the case then mv file.jpg file.rar
[20:07] <Mike> anyone have problems intalling wine?

[20:11] <Dr_willis> ghost,  depends on how many files you got to rename.  it can be done with the proper use of the mv or rename command. but not with the wildcards you were using

[20:13] <Jouva> basti, it doesn't let you install it, period.
[20:13] <bastid_raZor> dhude:: i downloaded the free version
[20:13] <Elevator_Hazard> Like there's apache2 running as a process but when I try to apt-get remove it it says its not installed.
[20:13] <Dr_willis> ghost,   the rename command. --> similer to --> rename ’s/\.oldextension$/newextension/’ *.oldextension
[20:13] <dissident> need printarch, printlbc
[20:13] <Elevator_Hazard> I already have xampp for linux but I guess I have apache too
[20:13] <cw101> Elevator_Hazard: apt-get autoremove apache
[20:13] <Starnestommy> ghost: in perl, I think rename's syntax is rename("/path/to/old.file", "/path/to/new.file");
[20:13] <syntaxerror55> Xintruder: that's nice to know :D
[20:14] <au_> hey.. anyone can help me? I have a memory card, but I'm unable to format it.. gparted nor mkfs.vfat doesnt work :(
[20:14] <samad909> hi i am trying to install the 'an' app via "sudo aptitude install an" but i get the error segmentation fault(core dumped)...how can i fix this? i tried a purge too but same error
[20:14] <Jouva> bastid_raZor,  'VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)"
[20:14] <Elevator_Hazard> I guess its gone now.
[20:14] <ghost> Starnestommy: so the next step is how can I do it with all files, keeping the name before the extension, but changing the extension
[20:14] <pike_> au_: plug it in then dmesg|tail then sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1  <-- or whatever partition dmesg shows
[20:14] <ghost> in our case, from .jpg to .rar
[20:14] <dissident> it says printarch function not found
[20:14] <x_> anyone have GNOME 2.22 on Ubuntu ?!
[20:14] <dissident> and it's an original game
[20:14] <bastid_raZor> Jouva:: you have the wrong VMware Player?
[20:14] <pike_> au_: be VERY sure of the partition you dont want to format a HD partition
[20:14] <dissident> from tuxgames
[20:14] <Jouva> bastid
[20:15] <Jouva> I'm trying to INSTALL it :P
[20:15] <ghost> I have a bunch of books stored in jpg rars

[20:15] <Breakage> what plugins go i need to install to make totem-xine play mp3s? i dont want to use gstreamer.
[20:15] <Dr_willis> ghost,  that rename example i gave you can do that..
[20:15] <Starnestommy> ghost: it would involve a semi-complex regular expression
[20:15] <x_> Pici  i think i read something about LIVE CD about it
[20:15] <samad909> any help anyone?
[20:15] <jw--> use Exaile
[20:15] <Dr_willis> ghost,   the rename command. --> similer to --> rename ’s/\.rar$/jpg/’ *.rar
[20:16] <dissident> anyone who know grintlibc and printarch
[20:16] <cw101> Breakage: use the package manager
[20:16] <Pici> x_: Feature freeze for 2.22 was just last week, it will be in Ubuntu 8.04 though.
[20:16] <Breakage> cw101: tried that give me some error. one sec
[20:16] <theunixgeek> Can I have items in an OpenOffice Base table be numbered?
[20:16] <Jouva> bastid_raZor, I dunno how I could havethe wrong VMware Player when it's not even installed :) And looking around many others have the same issue as me
[20:16] <bliss_> how come!
[20:16] <x_> Pici     oh ... u mean i can't have it on 7.10 ?!
[20:17] <au_> pike_: http://openpaste.org/en/4787/ I get some strange errors
[20:17] <jac0b> does linux have a simple image edit program like paint I can get
[20:17] <samad909> i cant install any software: i get Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[20:17] <theunixgeek> Allow me to rephrase that: How can I have items in an OpenOffice Base table be numbered.
[20:17] <Pici> x_: No, it wont be in the repositories.
[20:17] <genii> Breakage: package you want is libxine1-ffmpeg
[20:17] <bliss_> re mv command  i am in nymserv@mail:~$ pwd    /var/lib/nymserv so the command is nymserv@mail:~$ mv /home/tim/nymserver.pl /var/lib/nymserv/nmyserv/  but i get mv: target `/var/lib/home/nymserv/nmyserv/' is not a directory: No such file or directory   how come?
[20:17] <theunixgeek> samad909: that's a problem with the program's code.
[20:17] <Starnestommy> samad909: try sudo echo "testing".  That'll tell if it's sudo or aptitude breaking
[20:17] <rootborn> can some one tell me what shoud I install for making my wireless to work
[20:17] <samad909> theunixgeek: nothing gets installed, after i run aptitude it says that
[20:17] <kazol2_> What are the themes called in System-Prefs-Appearance? Metacity or GTK 2.x?
[20:17] <x_> Pici     and any news from 8.04 ?! i mean wnen comming out !!
[20:17] <iskin> My computer crashed during a dist. upgrade (I think while updating libc), is there anyway to start from where it crashed.
[20:17] <theunixgeek> samad909: again, that's a problem with the program's code.
[20:18] <Starnestommy> x_: april
[20:18] <theunixgeek> samad909: how recent is your installation?
[20:18] <Pici> x_: Ubuntu version numbers are Y.MM, so 8.04 is 2008/04, April.
[20:18] <samad909> theunixgeek: few days
[20:18] <pike_> iskin: i think like sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a  or whatever flag is for all
[20:18] <au_> hey.. anyone can help me? I have a memory card, but I'm unable to format it.. gparted nor mkfs.vfat doesnt work :( http://openpaste.org/en/4787/
[20:18] <theunixgeek> samad909: hmm... that's weird.
[20:18] <greg-g> I am trying to install Ubuntu server 6.06.2 in virtualbox.  It installed with no errors, on boot it sits and does nothing (other than use a whole cpu core) after "uncompressing linux... Ok, booting the kernel."   Suggestions?
[20:18] <theunixgeek> samad909: also try #debian
[20:18] <Breakage> genii: thanks will try that too, ive tried ive tried "libxine-extracodec" but it says its not available, but is referred to by another package
[20:18] <kazol2_> What are the themes called in System-Prefs-Appearance? Metacity or GTK 2.x?
[20:18] <samad909> theunixgeek: sudo works, i guess it is aptitude how do i fix it
[20:18] <x_> Starnestommy   thanks  :-)
[20:18] <samad909> Starnestommy: sudo works, i guess it is aptitude how do i fix it
[20:18] <bastid_raZor> Jouva:: i didn't know there was a package for vmware. i downloaded one from their site and installed it
[20:19] <Jouva> bliss_, do you want to make the file be named "nymserv" in the directory /var/lib/nymserv, OR do you want it to be nymserver.pl under /var/lib/nymserv/nymserv ? also, you spelled nymserv wrong as nmyerv
[20:19] <x_> Pici    oook .. thanks 4 help :-)
[20:19] <Pici> kazol2_: They are metacity and gtk themes.
[20:19] <cw101> Breakage: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats?action=show&redirect=MP3#head-1340337f2ca1d0c54900935468515ba7630fcc59
[20:19] <Starnestommy> samad909: does using apt-get to install work?
[20:19] <samad909> sudo echo "testing" passed the echo properly so it must be aptitude then
[20:19] <Breakage> genii: thanks, its installing. :))
[20:19] <samad909> a sec
[20:19] <solexious> Hello all, any one know if I can enable rpc on my ubuntu box so i can defrag it from a windows box?
[20:19] <genii> Breakage: np
[20:19] <samad909> starnestommy: nope
[20:19] <Breakage> cw101: thanks for the link
[20:19] <eugen> %C5
[20:19] <iskin> pike_ I've been trying that. I get parse error in '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0006' and some other nonsense but it doesn't fix itself.
[20:19] <cw101> Breakage: np
[20:19] <kazol2_> thx Pici
[20:19] <Starnestommy> samad909: sounds like dpkg is bustesd
[20:19] <Pici> solexious: The filesystem that Ubuntu uses does not need to be defragged.
[20:19] <Whisper> How do i change keymap?
[20:19] <cw101> hehe. I'm googling for ppl lol
[20:19] <Starnestommy> *nusted
[20:20] <Starnestommy> **busted
[20:20] <samad909> starnestommy: is this a major problem? or is there a fix
[20:20] <ghost> thanks
[20:20] <bliss_> Jouva: i want to tranfer the nymserver.pl to nymserv directory AND i want to change the name of nymserver.pl to nymserv.pl
[20:20] <Mike> anyone had problems installing wine to ubuntu 710? I do all the steps but then I try to install through synaptic says the following packages have unresolvable dependencies
[20:20] <Starnestommy> samad909: you'd need to find a way to reinstall dpkg withoug using a package manager
[20:20] <solexious> Pici: So it cant get fragmented?
[20:20] <Starnestommy> *without
[20:20] <x_> Mike    yeah .. i have
[20:20] <QuickGold> Mike: I installed Wine on 7.10 today with no problem
[20:21] <cw101> Mike: better to backup stuff on cd and reinstall the 7.10
[20:21] <Jouva> blis: WHICH nymserv directory? You seemed to say /var/lib/nymserv/nymserv
[20:21] <Jouva> err
[20:21] <Dr_willis> Mike,  do an 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then try installing it again..  for a start.
[20:21] <cw101> other guy had the same problem
[20:21] <samad909> Starnestommy: now that is bad, i am new to ubuntu, guess reinstall ?
[20:21] <dissident> anyone can help me with printarch or printlbc
[20:21] <Mike> I did, was working on this last night for a few hours, and just did a install
[20:21] <Jouva> bliss_: WHICH nymserv directory? You seemed to say /var/lib/nymserv/nymserv/ meaning a "nymserv" directory that is under /var/lib/nymserv
[20:21] <Pici> !defrag > solexious (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[20:21] <solexious> Thank you
[20:21] <Starnestommy> samad909: if you installed build-essential before, you might eb able to rebuild dpkg from source
[20:21] <Starnestommy> *be
[20:21] <samad909> starnestommy: i have build-essential
[20:22] <cw101> lsb_release -a
[20:22] <Mike> I'll put the whole error in that paste msg
[20:22] <samad909> starnestommy: guide me with building dpkg
[20:22] <cw101> Mike: sources.gz?
[20:22] <Starnestommy> samad909: I've never had to rebuild it before, but I'm looking up how to do it
[20:22] <samad909> starnestommy: i just tried to install this 'an' app from the repos and it got busted when i tried removing it
[20:22] <samad909> starnestommy: ok thanks
[20:23] <Jouva> bliss_: I THINK you want to change the spelling of the last part from nmyserv to nymserv and remove the end "/" and make it .pl    mv /home/tim/nymserver.pl /var/lib/nymserv/nymserv.pl
[20:23] <bliss_> Jouva: yes its my fault
[20:23] <theunixgeek> Happy Birthday to me! :D (and to King Louis XVI of France's decapitation!)

[20:24] <Mike> Dr_willis: I just did sudo apt-get update and says unable to lock the admin dir (/var/lib/dpkg/)
[20:24] <Jouva> Then you really wanted: mv /home/tim/nymserver.pl /var/lib/nymserv/nymserv.pl
[20:24] <dissident> is anyone here playing call to power
[20:24] <frustrated_newby> starnestommy that did not help still getting: "(EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0)"
[20:24] <wesley_> where do i find xrender
[20:24] <Jouva> Don't end a file name with a / unless it's a directory.
[20:24] <Dr_willis> Mike,  be sure nothing else is accessing the instasller system. No other apt tools open like synaptic and so forth..
[20:25] <rootborn> bardun, it din't work when I had debian its whas ok, but now I don't know what doesn't work
[20:25] <Mike> Dr_willis: and could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 resource temp unavailable)
[20:25] <bliss_> Jouva;  but mv /home/tim/nymserver.pl /var/lib/home/nymserv/   but mv: target `/var/lib/home/nymserv/' is not a directory: No such file or director
[20:25] <Starnestommy> frustrated_newby: sounds like a problem with /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:25] <bardyr> rootborn, explain your problem, what card do you have, OS, etc
[20:25] <Mike> ok that did it
[20:25] <bliss_> Jouva: ok i seee

[20:26] <rootborn> this is my uname -r
[20:26] <dannyboy20> are broadcom wifi cards compatible with ubuntu?
[20:26] <theunixgeek> !anyone | rootborn
[20:26] <ubotu> rootborn: 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?
[20:26] <QuickGold> !ask | rootborn
[20:26] <ubotu> rootborn: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[20:26] <Jouva> bliss: THAT command tried to simply move the file without renaming it and trying to put it in a non existing directory of /var/lib/home/nymserv/
[20:27] <frustrated_newby> starnestommy I pasted it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52919/ pastebin
[20:27] <Mike> ok I didnt update and and upgrade but same error, says broken packages
[20:27] <x_> anyone knows what's the best TORRENT downloader ?!  and what's command line 4 install it   plz
[20:27] <rootborn> ubotu, do you really need to tell me all of this, if I wod know whats the problem with my wireless I will made it work or if I coud find some help on google
[20:28] <bastid_raZor> x_:: i use ktorrent which is a KDE app..
[20:28] <MirJA> x_, the best torrent downloader is rtorrent
[20:28] <theunixgeek> x_: Ubuntu comes with BitTorrent
[20:28] <theunixgeek> x_: but the best of all is Transmission
[20:28] <bardyr> rootborn, ubotu is a bot
[20:28] <rinaldi_> x_: deluge
[20:28]  * MirJA loves rtorrent and the simplicity it got
[20:28] <bastid_raZor> x_ and when you ask the best.. you're only going to get opinions. you'll have to decide for yourself which is the best
[20:28] <MrObvious> rootborn: ubotu is a bot.
[20:28] <rootborn> some one told him to tell me that
[20:28] <theunixgeek> lol
[20:28] <frustrated_newby> starnestommy what confuses me is the fact that I installed the nvidia driver and each time I tried to go to "SystemTools" -> Nvidia Settings menu it tells me "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."
[20:28] <MrObvious> :|
[20:28] <bardyr> theunixgeek, the best is deluge
[20:28] <x_> what's command line 4 Bittorrent and Rtorrent ?!
[20:29] <theunixgeek> bardyr: each to his own
[20:29] <bardyr> atleast the new versions of deluge
[20:29] <Starnestommy> frustrated_newby: edit line 18 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that the line mentioning type1 is commented out
[20:29] <pike_> x_: eh?
[20:29] <dannyboy20> are broadcom wifi cards supported by ubuntu?
[20:29] <rinaldi_> x_: deluge is sudo apt-get install deluge
[20:29] <MirJA> rtorrent file.torrent
[20:29] <boubbin> how to check what cpu and gfx etc im using from command line ?
[20:29] <MirJA> and there u go
[20:29] <Mike> could it be the package that is broken?
[20:29] <fatih> When i start 3d applications or games it is running incredibly slow. I have ati radeon x1300 graphic card and ubuntu 7.10. wine is last version
[20:29] <rootborn> can some one help me to make my wireless working? and I will live
[20:29] <pike_> dannyboy20: broadcom is still a headache sometimes but yes it may be supported and there is always ndiswrapper
[20:29] <rinaldi_> !hardware |dannyboy20
[20:29] <ubotu> dannyboy20: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[20:29] <frustrated_newby> starnestommy is this why Nvidia-Settings is also broken ?
[20:30] <Starnestommy> frustrated_newby: no, it's because root isn't a normal user
[20:30] <x_> rinaldi_   what's that ?! torrent downloader ?!
[20:30] <MrObvious> rootborn: Ask your question.
[20:30] <bastid_raZor> fatih:: #winehq would be a better place to ask
[20:30] <pike_> boubbin: cat /proc/cpuinfo and lspci -v
[20:30] <rinaldi_> x_: yes i find it to be the fastest one, wel for me anyway
[20:30] <rootborn> MrObvious, I did that
[20:30] <fatih> i am asking nearly 1 hour at there
[20:30] <x_> theunixgeek   what's that command line ?!
[20:30] <rootborn> MrObvious, have a look up
[20:30] <x_> MirJa   what's the command line ?!
[20:31] <frustrated_newby> starnestommy so just ignore that this is not working?
[20:31] <Administrator> I know of another linux distro where my internet functions fine. Is there a way to transfer the driver from that system to Ubuntu?
[20:31] <MirJA> x_, rtorrent file.torrent
[20:31] <bardyr> !work
[20:31] <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.
[20:31] <x_> rinaldi   ok ... i'll try  :)  thanks
[20:31] <bastid_raZor> fatih:: that channel is hit and miss. but they do have a large database of answers .. sadly takes them a bit to come around
[20:31] <MrObvious> rootborn: All I see is you wanting help but not being specific; we can't help if you arne't specific.

[20:38] <BluTao> hi
[20:38] <zoobox> Starnestommy: besides, the only way to kill all scripting support in Writer is to change in the soruce and recompile it then....?
[20:38] <Dr_willis> Forsakensoul,  how are you even comming to this conclusion that you have the 64bit stuff installed?
[20:38] <syntaxerror55> Starnestommy: oh, nevermind. you're trying to help him too
[20:38] <syntaxerror55> Starnestommy: sorry
[20:39] <Herald_S> OK, how about this, anyone use a tape changer to back up their Ubuntu install?
[20:39] <rootborn> Starnestommy, when my wireless is ON I have a blue light on my laptop and when is not it is RED but now the light swich all the time, like is on and is not
[20:39] <Forsakensoul> well dr_willis i`ve tried to start a game in wine and it gave me a d3d error i`ve consulted with a programmer from wine
[20:39] <lufis> Is there a way to batch rename with mv? I tried mv lonnie*.jpg lorrie*.jpg, but mv spat out: target `lorrie*.jpg' is not a directory
[20:39] <Forsakensoul> isent him a couple of logs
[20:40] <Forsakensoul> and he told me that some 64bit packages for opengl are on my pc
[20:40] <Dr_willis> Forsakensoul,   I think your opengl stiff us not the issue. its more of a wine issue
[20:40] <pike_> lufis: you can do a for loop
[20:40] <bliss_> bastid_raZor: thanks
[20:40] <Starnestommy> rootborn: ignoring the light, does the connection work?

[20:40] <Herald_S> anyone have LTS 6.01 that wants to check existence of a file for me
[20:40] <Herald_S> ?
[20:40] <self_up> yo all, just burned me a desktop gutsy iso, and installed ubuntu on this windows xp laptop: man do i have questions
[20:41] <bastid_raZor> bliss_:: glad you have it moved and renamed and owned :)
[20:41] <syntaxerror55> Herald_S: I have 6.06 LTS
[20:41] <samad909> starnestommy: figured it out, keep in mind if anyone asks, just do a sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/*.bin ;)
[20:41] <Forsakensoul> dr_willis loo at this log http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=10396
[20:41] <rootborn> Starnestommy, no, but can you help me with some commands to check someting with it
[20:41] <bliss_> and to make it exe chmod+x nymserv.pl
[20:41] <self_up> first is, i expected windows to be wiped clean away and replaced with linux, but not so, i'm dual booting now, what gives is this the norm?
[20:41] <Forsakensoul> and if you can see anything that shouldn`t be there tell me
[20:41] <Slart> lufis: you can do all kinds of bash magic.. look at "man find" for example
[20:41] <pike_> lufis: like for i in *.jpg; do mv $i /newdir/$i; done  or something
[20:41] <Herald_S> Syntaxerror, nevermind, you'd have to install amanda-server to check it and I don't think it's worth it
[20:41] <samad909> starnestommy: after that a sudo aptitude update and it works fine ;)
[20:41] <Herald_S> sorry

[20:47] <Breakage> Hi, Could someone help I reformated to xubuntu and reinstalled awn and compiz all is fine but.. I have a problem the stacks trasher plugin which also happens with the non-stacks trash plugin, the problem is that the plugin wont open my trash folder it says "Failed to open URL "trash:". The URL "trash:" is not supported. This was ok with Gnome but doesnt like Xfce. I think its because it should be trying to open "trash:///" instea

[21:02] <nemilar> kestir: I'm assuming you've checked that your screensaver isn't set to "blank screen"?
[21:02] <h1st0> chapium: you mean they are listed as sda
[21:02] <iskin> Goshawk: I'm about 80% sure it does.
[21:02] <nemilar> kestir: or that your monitor powersave isn't set to go on at the same time your screensaver is supposed to activate?
[21:02] <syntaxerror55> nemilar: I couldn't help but laugh at that.
[21:03] <sadaiyappan> Hi
[21:03] <Goshawk> iskin: do you know if there is a way to disable this?
[21:03] <chapium> h1st0: they are listed as sda and the installer identified it as SCSI ATA Quantum Bigfoot
[21:03] <nemilar> syntaxerror55: haha, it's like, "my computer isn't turning on!"  "Did you check that it's plugged in?"

[21:04] <bcardarella> How do I boot directly to a shell prompt on a normal boot instead of X?
[21:04] <sadaiyappan> Ktorrent is KDE though right ?
[21:04] <sadaiyappan> I want something for Gnome
[21:04] <nemilar> sadaiyappan: check out Deluge
[21:04] <iskin> Goshawk: You can turn the swap use off once it has booted from console.
[21:04] <aisStar> DRebellion, So I cant use it....
[21:04] <DRebellion> bastid_raZor: i think sadaiyappan was loooking for more of an opinion...
[21:04] <NeoOokami> Deluge and transmission are the best GTK clients
[21:04] <solexious>  !torrent > solexious
[21:04] <syntaxerror55> sadaiyappan: correct. Then go with Azureus
[21:04] <thingfish> what's the version of nautilus that comes with 7.10?
[21:04] <h1st0> chapium: its a known issue and I don't know why ubuntu insists on testing someones driver that is listing that way but they do and will continue to do so.
[21:04] <sadaiyappan> Okay thx
[21:05] <DRebellion> aisStar: nope.
[21:05] <bastid_raZor> DRebellion:: that lists several torrent apps to choose from.
[21:05] <sadaiyappan> What's a good Burning program?
[21:05] <nemilar> NeoOokami: what is transmission written in, do you know?  It's got to be java or python...
[21:05] <Goshawk> iskin: yep. but i'm doing a distribution based on ubuntu for computer forensics and swap space should not be used... never.

[21:05] <h1st0> sadaiyappan: you can use it in gnome
[21:05] <sadaiyappan> why are the best programs all KDE based?
[21:05] <nemilar> NeoOokami: but it's ported to so many platforms!
[21:05] <syntaxerror55> sadaiyappan: because KDE is the best ;D
[21:06] <h1st0> !best | sadaiyappan
[21:06] <ubotu> sadaiyappan: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[21:08] <nugz1212> can someone hlpe me setup my ati graphics card in ubuntu studio?
[21:08] <ArtNo70> found it
[21:08] <h1st0> kferdous: why is what?
[21:08] <nemilar> !ask | nugz1212
[21:08] <ubotu> nugz1212: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[21:08] <seasonfive> NeoOokami: because it still used when it try to unmount it ?
[21:08] <h1st0> !ati > nugz1212,   nugz1212 Read the private message from ubotu.
[21:08] <TrichomeKid> Okay, I am using v7.10 and I have checked the MD5Hash and CD Integrity and everything there is good.  When I choose load/install option it gets to a login screen where it says "User ubuntu will login in 10 seconds..." then the desktop starts to load, but the monitor flickers and returns to login screen
[21:08] <TrichomeKid> what's the problem?
[21:09] <vt220> I have got some serious problems with my kyocera fs-1750 printer under ubuntu 7.10 and also 8.04 dev branch. The Printer is connected over a usb to aprallel adapter to the PC. The Adapter gets recognized and udev creates /dev/usb/lp0 as the device node. But i cant print anything with cups. No matter which device I chose, or wich driver.  The Printer is jonly sometimesresponding und printing one number on a page. :(
[21:09] <nugz1212> ive tried that several times
[21:09] <kferdous> h1st0 why wouldn't it matter if it's VM
[21:09] <chapium> NeoOokami: why is it on /home?
[21:09] <h1st0> TrichomeKid: try the safe graphics mode from the menu that comes up
[21:09] <nugz1212> the restricted driver doesnt work, i want 8.42.3
[21:09] <nugz1212> i cant get it work, device comes up as ati display 0
[21:09] <NeoOokami> seasonfive: I'd guess that, but surely it'd be no more or less in use during shutdown than home on any other system?
[21:09] <h1st0> vt220: can you ditch the adapter and use just straight usb
[21:09] <TrichomeKid> h1st0: I tried that but it eventually just went to a blank screen?
[21:10] <h1st0> nugz1212: the message from ubotu has directions for you.
[21:10] <NeoOokami> chapium: eee PC has a 4GB SSD, the 16GB SD seemed like a better place for homoe. ;)
[21:10] <vt220> h1st0: no only serial and parallel
[21:10] <seasonfive> NeoOokami: don't really know. Perhaps there is a specific daemon for SDCard ?
[21:10] <nugz1212> in my past ubuntu's (mainly 7.10 original) its come up as ati radeon x1300
[21:10] <vt220> h1st0: the printer is definitly OK
[21:10] <TrichomeKid> I used the amd64 version, should I try the i386 instead?
[21:10] <h1st0> TrichomeKid: what kind of video card do you have?  You can also use the alternate cd to install in text mode
[21:10] <rinaldi_> hi how can i open .docx files in open office?
[21:10] <TheLynx> erawfish: managed to solve my problem. removed linux-header-generic (obviously not meant for amd64 dual)
[21:10] <TrichomeKid> radeon xpress 200
[21:10] <seasonfive> NeoOokami: If you succeed to mount/unmount your sdcard on your system it should work at shutdown
[21:10] <morph3us> join
[21:10] <morph3us> :s
[21:10] <h1st0> vt220: maybe ask someone that knows more about cups
[21:10] <TrichomeKid> its not great but should do the trick, i'd think.
[21:10] <h1st0> vt220: could be a bug
[21:11] <vt220> h1st0: i asked google the whole day :)
[21:11] <vt220> h1st0: this was the reason i updated to hardy but no effects on my problem
[21:11] <NeoOokami> seasonfive: I can do it fine manually. It just doesn't seem to get done by the shutdown script for some reason.
[21:11] <h1st0> vt220: /j #cups they would no more
[21:11] <cherva> I have a chroot enviroment of a customized ubuntu and witch file should I edit to make mplayer the default player ?
[21:11] <nugz1212> h1st0: i cant use the binary driver, i have to get 8.42.3 to work
[21:11] <seasonfive> NeoOokami: If there is a user space thing needed to work with SDCard, you have to be sure this thing have to be shutted down before you try to unmount your device
[21:11] <TrichomeKid> h1st0: is there a big difference between the amd64 and i386 version? I am running an AMD3200
[21:12] <h1st0> nugz1212: there are directions for that in the wiki link from ubotu
[21:12] <seasonfive> NeoOokami: Add a lsof | grep "/home" > /tmp/debug in your shutdown script
[21:12] <h1st0> nugz1212: you are using ubuntu studio also it is completely different you may have to ask them this is ubuntu support
[21:12] <sadaiyappan> can someone tell me the coolest looking messenger program for Gnome?
[21:12] <tanath> my desktop icons aren't showing
[21:12] <nemilar> sadaiyappan: pidgin
[21:12] <syntaxerror55> sadaiyappan: pidgin
[21:12] <nugz1212> h1st0: yes but their all for using the restricted driver
[21:12] <tanath> i played with gtweakui, but it's not working
[21:12] <h1st0> !best > sadaiyappan
[21:13] <sadaiyappan> pidgin is installed out of the box -- but it's not cool looking it's kind of lame
[21:13] <seasonfive> NeoOokami: it'll point you the guilty
[21:13] <h1st0> sadaiyappan: please stop polling the room
[21:13] <Xintruder> تحياتي
[21:13] <h1st0> !offtopic > sadaiyappan
[21:13] <syntaxerror55> sadaiyappan: well then that's the end of it.
[21:13] <NeoOokami> seasonfive: Thanks. I'll give that a shot later. :)
[21:13] <Xintruder> sorry
[21:13] <nemilar> I do wish Audium had a linux port, though :(
[21:13] <brokenFUN> anyone know of a LIVE cd that just formats HDD?
[21:13] <tanath> sadaiyappan, you might like amsn
[21:13] <nemilar> brokenFUN: gparted livecd
[21:13] <h1st0> brokenFUN: any of them you can use to format the hdd
[21:13] <syntaxerror55> tanath: kmess ftw
[21:13] <h1st0> brokenFUN: what are you tyring to do?
[21:13] <NeoOokami> nemilar: Pidgin is where Adium gets it's libraries from. Though yeah it's not quite as pretty.
[21:13] <h1st0> brokenFUN: afteryou format?
[21:14] <brokenFUN> i need to format
[21:14] <seasonfive> NeoOokami: lsof = LiSt Open Files: it give you a list of all files opened on your system and WHO opened it (process ID)
[21:14] <nemilar> NeoOokami: yeah, they steal all the great libpurpleness and then make it all appleified, and I want it :(
[21:14] <Xintruder> can I centrally controll ubuntu user desktops in a company, like a Windows DC can control windows xp computers? What would the directory service be called
[21:14] <h1st0> brokenFUN: well what livecd's do you have?
[21:14] <bastid_raZor> syntaxerror55:: where did you find which repo to add for kde4?
[21:14] <NeoOokami> nemilar: Might wanna get a Mac then? XD
[21:14] <john_> i couldn't find the irc client on ubuntu.. i don't think it was installed. so i'm on lostirc.

[21:15] <QuickGold> john_: try X-chat
[21:15] <nemilar> NeoOokami: as soon as I find a couple grand lying in the street, it's first on my list ;)
[21:15] <h1st0> Xintruder: yes System > Preferences > Remote Desktop
[21:15] <john_> oh okay.
[21:15] <syntaxerror55> john_: Linux has the most irc clients then any other os
[21:16] <nemilar> Pidgin's IRC support isn't completely pathetic, expecially with the extra plugins
[21:16] <Xintruder> h1st0: remote desktop can only b e similar to remote desktop connection in Windows. It is nothing like a windows server active directory.
[21:16] <h1st0> Xintruder: ?
[21:16] <noodlesgc> john_ I my IRC client will be the best once 0.1 comes out (phalkyn.sf.net)
[21:16] <Xintruder> h1st0: yeah?
[21:17] <syntaxerror55> noodlesgc: don't advertise in the channel ;D
[21:17] <QuickGold> good luck noodlesgc
[21:17] <h1st0> Xintruder: I don't know there are tons of options i'm sure.  I've never used active directory so I really can't help you out there.
[21:17] <h1st0> Xintruder: vnc xdmcp etc...
[21:17] <john_> i'm back on xchat.
[21:17] <syntaxerror55> noodlesgc: but I can't resist try it
[21:17] <rinaldi_> is .docx support available for openoffice?
[21:17] <john_> I need help on getting my Broadcom MaxPerformance 54g to work. I'm connected to an ethernet
[21:17] <ArtNo70> #ubuntu-de
[21:18] <syntaxerror55> ArtNo70: type /join #ubuntu-de
[21:18] <tristan> rinaldi: I don't think there is yet.
[21:18] <noodlesgc> syntaxerror55 It compiles and the interface works, but as of yet there is not network code
[21:18] <h1st0> john_: you need the firmware package
[21:18] <john_> how can i get it? through sypnaptic?
[21:18] <h1st0> !broadcomm > john_,   john_ Read the private message from ubotu.
[21:18] <syntaxerror55> noodlesgc: so you can't /server ?

[21:18] <h1st0> !broadcom > john_,   john_ Read the private message from ubotu.
[21:19] <noodlesgc> syntaxerror55 no. It is still in very primitive stages.

[21:19] <rinaldi_> tristan: the thing is i remember doing a tutorial and managing to do it before, but since then i have reinstalled ubuntu, so just wandering if anyone knew...
[21:19] <syntaxerror55> noodlesgc: ah, ok
[21:19] <NeoOokami> Ubuntu's handling of my wireless card was one of the things that impressed me the most. Downloaded and ripped the firmware for me~
[21:19] <wyclif> anyone have recommendations on a new webcam that plays nice w/ Ubuntu?
[21:19] <F-r-a-n-k-l-i-n> I have a question
[21:19] <tanath> my desktop icons aren't showing, and nautilus won't run. can someone help?
[21:19] <QuickGold> tanath: hit ctrl + alt + backspace
[21:19]  * ifco says hi
[21:20] <solexious> Hello all, I have a generic raid card, how can I see if linux has drivers to support it?
[21:20] <F-r-a-n-k-l-i-n> what should i do when i try to run the life cd and i get a msg on screen from the monitor that said "Video Signal out of range" ???
[21:20] <ifco> anybody here using mplayer / smplayer?
[21:20] <tanath> QuickGold, i've already logged out & back in. doesn't help. and you should be careful throwing that around
[21:20] <wyclif> ifco: liking mplayer here
[21:20] <h1st0> john_: you may be able to use the restricted drivers manager to get it going under System > Administration
[21:20] <seasonfive> noodlesgc: why a new IRC client ? What will be the good point in your ?
[21:20] <h1st0> !anybody > ifco
[21:20] <tanath> QuickGold, if i were in the middle of something important and hadn't saved, i'd have lost data
[21:21] <benanzo> Logitech webcams are generally supported by the standard uvcvideo driver -- I don't know of any specific models to get, but the three that I've tried over the past year have all worked out of the box with Ekiga or even the new Skype beta
[21:21] <ifco> wyclif: im gettin the video error message no matter what driver i select :(
[21:21] <sksol> hey guys, i have a laptop with ubuntu, and a desktop computer without monitor or keyboard... is it possible to configure the desktop as a file server?
[21:21] <tanath> QuickGold, also, i didn't say i couldn't log out properly
[21:21] <wyclif> ifco: will check what driver i'm using for that
[21:21] <john_> okay i'll try that
[21:21] <h1st0> sksol: yes whats on the desktop currently?
[21:22] <eyyYo> How do i run bashscripts with sudo? "sudo bashfile" doesnt work, and "sudo ./bashfile" doesnt work either..
[21:22] <sksol> i think xp
[21:22] <seasonfive> sksol: how will you install ubuntu on the desktop without screen/keyboard ? :p
[21:22] <ifco> wyclif: thx but as i say mine doesnt work with any of them, dunno what to do
[21:22] <wyclif> thanks, i was thinking Logitech already.  the plan is for it to be used mostly with Skype beta
[21:22] <h1st0> sksol: you need to search for a headless install.
[21:22] <sksol> no idea :)... thats what im asking... is it possible to install something on it over the network?
[21:22] <ally_xoxoo> hey can anyone help me? My Totem-gstreamer, MPlayer, Amarok, and rhythmbox no longer work properly on my Ubuntu.
[21:22] <ally_xoxoo> any ideas?

[21:23] <ally_xoxoo> yes i did that already
[21:23] <eyyYo> ally_xoxoo: im no expert, but describing your problem more should be good.
[21:23] <QuickGold> hit the wrong keys
[21:23] <QuickGold> sorry
[21:23] <ally_xoxoo> i uninstalled and reinstalled about 50 times
[21:23] <ally_xoxoo> eyyYo: the problem i think, has to do with the codecs i isntalled for DVDS
[21:24] <ally_xoxoo> yesterday everything was working GREAT
[21:24] <sksol> ok, thanks... ill look into it... but still, you guys think ubuntu would be the best choice for the desktop? all i need from it is file storage and the lightscribe burner
[21:24] <tanath> my desktop icons aren't showing, and nautilus won't run. can someone help?
[21:24] <ally_xoxoo> until today when i tried to install the coedcs
[21:24] <ally_xoxoo> codecs*
[21:24] <eyyYo> As i said, im no expert, i have no clue :)
[21:24] <ally_xoxoo> ah ok
[21:24] <h1st0> ally_xoxoo: did you add repos for the dvd codecs
[21:24] <syntaxerror55> noodlesgc: I'll make sure to look for 0.1
[21:24] <john_> i'm not sure if it worked. is there a way i can serach for wireless networks on ubuntu>
[21:24] <ally_xoxoo> yes i added the repos
[21:24] <wyclif> tanath: first what version of nautilus?
[21:24] <ally_xoxoo> and the key
[21:24] <F-r-a-n-k-l-i-n> what should i do when i try to run the life cd and i get a msg on screen from the monitor that said "Video Signal out of range" ???
[21:24] <ifco> wyclif: its 5.62 i suppose

[21:25] <tanath> wyclif, 2.20.0
[21:25] <h1st0> F-r-a-n-k-l-i-n: try the safe graphics mode option
[21:25] <chapium> eyyYo: chmod +x bashfile         Then you can run it
[21:25] <_mastro_> hi all, does somebody know how to print in "draft mode" with gnome?
[21:25] <h1st0> !info nautilus > wyclif
[21:25] <puff> john_: iwlist
[21:25] <noodlesgc> syntaxerror55 it will be revolutionary, CNN will probably come to my door :D
[21:25] <john_> oky
[21:25] <wyclif> tanath: that is the current version.  have you tried checking for dependencies?
[21:25] <puff> john_: sudo /sbin/iwlist eth1 scan<enter>
[21:25] <seasonfive> sksol: ubuntu will by default install lot of things useless for a headless desktop but ... if storage is not a problem
[21:25] <tanath> wyclif, uh, it's installed fine
[21:26] <h1st0> john_: did you install the firmware?
[21:26] <syntaxerror55> noodlesgc: heh. I'll check back every so often, I promise. :P
[21:26] <wyclif> tanath: ok
[21:26] <ally_xoxoo> h1st0: you get my PM?
[21:26] <john_> i think
[21:26] <puff> john_: If you want, I have a perl script that invokes iwlist and reformats the output more succinctly.
[21:26] <h1st0> john_: also you can click on the computer icons by the clock
[21:26] <sksol> storage is not a problem
[21:26] <h1st0> ally_xoxoo: no
[21:26] <F-r-a-n-k-l-i-n> ] <h1st0>:try the safe graphics mode option < -- I already tried that, i heard that I need to edit the xserver file and add the resolution that my monitor support ??
[21:26] <ally_xoxoo> ok
[21:26] <john_> i see
[21:26] <tanath> wyclif, this happened shortly after my power suppy exploded :-/
[21:26] <wyclif> tanath: i'm wondering what could be causing your icons to disappear
[21:26] <ally_xoxoo> well i said: after i removed all the apps
[21:26] <seasonfive> sksol: so that's not a matter of distro then. Choose the one you know the best :)
[21:26] <sksol> so how woudl i be able to access that computer? using command line?
[21:26] <tanath> wyclif, nautilus not working? :P
[21:26] <john_> yay i think it works i'mma get my wpa key from my mom and if it doesn't work i'll come back
[21:26] <h1st0> ally_xoxoo: you have to be registered to send pm's
[21:26] <wyclif> tanath: new power supply now?
[21:26] <ally_xoxoo> i typed this in terminal: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-restricted-extras
[21:27] <tanath> wyclif, nautilus is s'posed to do the icons too
[21:27] <tanath> wyclif, yep
[21:27] <ally_xoxoo> and then this:  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-apps gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-tools gstreamer0.10-x libgstreamer0.10-0 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 totem-gstreamer amarok amarok-xine
[21:27] <wyclif> tanath: i'm looking at my nautilus
[21:27] <ally_xoxoo> but it still doesnt work
[21:27] <eyyYo> chapium: thanks, that worked
[21:27] <h1st0> ally_xoxoo: are you getting errors?
[21:27] <nemilar> hey my nautilus just disappeared!
[21:27] <tanath> wyclif, new user seems to work fine
[21:27] <ally_xoxoo> h1st0: it opens for a second, then it turns "black" and hangs like its locked or something
[21:27] <h1st0> ally_xoxoo: also you can install vlc and see if that works just to make sure its a codec issue
[21:27] <ally_xoxoo> i have to force-quit it everytime
[21:27] <wyclif> what happens when you check Preferences>Views?
[21:27] <ally_xoxoo> no im getting no errors
[21:27] <tanath> wyclif, but there's too much on this account for me to switch, so i need to fix this one
[21:27] <derrin_> Can anyone help?  I am trying to run moodle on local lamp stack and have hot a probem I don't understand.  See:  http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/565
[21:28] <wyclif> tanath: Preferences > Views on the account with problems
[21:28] <h1st0> ally_xoxoo: the other thing to do would be remove the codecs and let totem install them by itself
[21:28] <ally_xoxoo> ok h1st0: how can i do that?
[21:28] <wyclif> tanath: make sure you have Icon View enabled
[21:28] <ally_xoxoo> i installed the w32codecs and i think libdvdread3
[21:28] <seasonfive> derrin_: sudo killall apache
[21:29] <nemilar> killall -9
[21:29] <h1st0> tanath: what happened didyour desktop icons dissapear?
[21:29] <tanath> wyclif, i hate icon view. i use list view, and that doesn't affect ability to see desktop icons
[21:29] <tanath> h1st0, yep
[21:29] <wyclif> tanath: ah, on the desktop.  sorry
[21:29] <tanath> h1st0, and nautilus won't run
[21:29] <mats_> no wonder Ubuntu is free Flash does not work on it!!!!

[21:30] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[21:30] <pike_> mats_: flash works just fine ;p
[21:30] <Aloha> h1st0, dang beat me
[21:30] <tanath> h1st0, i tried basically that with gtweakui
[21:30] <h1st0> tanath: use gconf-editor
[21:30] <h1st0> tanath: someone had that problem earlier
[21:30] <mats_> no it doesnt and when you try to register to the forum to get help that doesnt work either
[21:31] <ally_xoxoo> h1st0: VLC doesnt play my mp3 anymore either
[21:31] <derrin_> seasonfive:  I got this: http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/566
[21:31] <ally_xoxoo> and i just installed it
[21:31] <h1st0> mats_: if you read the directions from ubotu it works just fine
[21:31] <ally_xoxoo> now the application is all gey "locked"
[21:31] <h1st0> mats_: the link to the forums you don't have to register to read that.
[21:31] <ally_xoxoo> have to force-quit again
[21:31] <mats_> well I could not even register to the forum
[21:31] <tanath> h1st0, still no go. no right click either btw
[21:31] <h1st0> ally_xoxoo: vlc was?
[21:31] <ally_xoxoo> yes
[21:32] <ally_xoxoo> it used to work the otherday
[21:32] <seasonfive> derrin_: did you runned using sudo ?
[21:32] <h1st0> tanath: what where you doing when this started?
[21:32] <mats_> ubuntuforum is down
[21:32] <h1st0> mats_: nopoe
[21:32] <seasonfive> derrin_: run it at sudo and repost :)
[21:32] <h1st0> mats_: i'm looking at the link right now
[21:33] <h1st0> mats_: you would have to register to download the fix
[21:33] <seasonfive> derrin_: but i think apache process is called apache2. a killall apache2 should work
[21:33] <tanath> h1st0, my power supply exploded... then it started getting slow (lagging a bit). now my icons don't show & that
[21:33] <Roberto35> hi guys cannot make run streams on firefox, Gnash is installed, Flash player too and the flashplugin nonfree what is missing?
[21:33] <h1st0> tanath: hrm...
[21:33] <h1st0> tanath: and they all work for other users?
[21:33] <tanath> h1st0, lag is mostly gone though
[21:33] <tanath> h1st0, yeh
[21:33] <wyclif> tanath: you got me.  that is a difficult problem
[21:33] <h1st0> Roberto35: what kind of streams?
[21:33] <derrin_> seasonfive:  Sorry - when running sudo i got:  http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/567
[21:34] <tanath> h1st0, i need this account though
[21:34] <tanath> :/
[21:34] <h1st0> tanath: Well you can keep the account just your gconf settings are hosed or something.
[21:34] <h1st0> tanath: all the files for the account are in /home/username
[21:34] <Roberto35> hlst0:well mediastreams
[21:34] <wyclif> tanath: as far as the power supply goes, i don't see how that could be the source (assuming you replaced and rebooted)
[21:34] <Roberto35> hlst0:for example on youtube.com
[21:34] <h1st0> tanath: in there is a .gconf folder.  I'm not sure what happens if you delete that though if it will be recreated.  Someone else may know.
[21:35] <derrin_> seasonfive:  I got:  $ sudo killall apache2
[21:35] <derrin_> apache2: no process killed
[21:35] <derrin_>     What do you think is going on?
[21:35] <tanath> h1st0, yeah, but many are hard coded, and i can't seem to apply permissions recursively
[21:35] <h1st0> Roberto35: if you have flash installed it should work just fine.
[21:35] <Light> Err, can anyone help me? I've been meaning to fix a problem but nothing solves it...
[21:35] <seasonfive> derrin_: killall httpd :)
[21:35] <Roberto35> hlst0:well it doesnt :(
[21:35] <wyclif> Light: just ask, don't ask to ask
[21:35] <Light> Lol.
[21:35] <BritneySpears> I thought the name of the process for apache on ubuntu was apache2 not httpd
[21:35] <mats_> Roberto flash doesnt work on ubuntu
[21:35] <h1st0> Roberto35: remove gnash
[21:35] <h1st0> mats_: it works fine
[21:35] <seasonfive> derrin_: netstat gave you the owner of the bind on the TCP port 80 -> httpd process
[21:36] <Light> Well, I had Ubuntu and XP both running fine, then I reformatted XP for reasons, then now, I can't dual boot to ubuntu.
[21:36] <wsdf> hey
[21:36] <derrin_> seasonfive: okay that seems to have worked?
[21:36] <wsdf> how can i play .pls on ubuntu 7.10
[21:36] <h1st0> Roberto35: restart firefox and try again.
[21:36] <BritneySpears> Light you probably wiped your MBR
[21:36] <Cpudan80> Light: Right, XP overwrote the grub bootloader
[21:36] <Light> I've checked a lot of sites, and all their solutions do not work.
[21:36] <h1st0> !codec > wsdf,   wsdf Read the private message from ubotu.
[21:36] <RaulR> wsdf: with amarok
[21:36] <derrin_> seasonfive:  Sorry I am a noob... don't understand what happened?
[21:36] <seasonfive> derrin_: dunno :) retry the netstap and see if httpd is still there
[21:36] <Cpudan80> You need to put grub back in Light
[21:36] <Light> Oh and did I mention, it's on separate HDD's.
[21:36] <bastid_raZor> syntaxerror55:: nice.. i'm running KDE4 in VMware.. it looks flipping awesome
[21:36] <h1st0> !grub > light
[21:36] <Cpudan80> Doesn't matter
[21:37] <Light> Well, okay then, how do I get it back? <.<
[21:37] <wyclif> Light: aha, there the rub ;-)
[21:37] <RaulR> wsdf .pls is a playlist file
[21:37] <seasonfive> derrin_: perhaps it should be better for you to learn basis rather than playing with webserver ? :-/
[21:37] <h1st0> Light: read the pm from ubotu
[21:37] <h1st0> !grub > Light,   Light Read the private message from ubotu.
[21:37] <Light> Reading.
[21:37] <derrin_> seasonfive:  says ESTABLISHED twice... looking good?
[21:38] <seasonfive> derrin_: if you restarted apache after the killall yes, that's good
[21:38] <seasonfive> derrin_: otherwise no
[21:38] <derrin_> seasonfive:  what do you mean basis?
[21:38] <wyclif> jmantra: awww c'mon i liked your previous username
[21:38] <Light> Oh this method.
[21:38] <Light> I've tried this.
[21:38] <seasonfive> derrin_: what is a process, what is a socket, what is netstat ... :-p
[21:38] <jmantra> wyclif, some tightwad in another channel made me change it back
[21:39] <Light> When I rebooted, It gave me a black screen, with the typing thing on top, I clicked something, it just happened again.
[21:39] <sethk> what is life?  what is existence?
[21:39] <derrin_> seasonfive:  I dodn't restart apache   is that therefore bad?
[21:39] <sethk> where can I get a bottle of wine for $3?
[21:39] <seasonfive> derrin_: not that bad .... do a sudo killall -9 httpd
[21:39] <wyclif> jmantra: i hate when ppl do that
[21:39] <h1st0> Light: you basically have to follow the link for lost ubuntu after installing windows.
[21:39] <h1st0> Light: you are going to fix grub
[21:40] <Light> Alright..
[21:40] <derrin_> seasonfive:  I got:  $ sudo killall -9 httpd
[21:40] <derrin_> httpd: no process killed
[21:40] <wyclif> BritneySpears: you did it again
[21:40] <wyclif> BritneySpears: you're not that innocent!
[21:40] <BritneySpears> I know :-P
[21:41] <seasonfive> derrin_: what say the netstat ?
[21:41] <Ax-Ax> where can i find smb.conf?
[21:41] <redguy> Ax-Ax: /etc/samba
[21:41] <seasonfive> derrin_: what netstat say ? (sorry i'm french :D)
[21:41] <wsdf> Ralfm,
[21:41] <Ax-Ax> redbox :)
[21:41] <NeoIce> is there a way to run the server CLI as the primary interface but have maybe one of the alt-windows running a desktop environment?
[21:41] <wsdf> anyway
[21:41] <Ax-Ax> redguy  :)
[21:42] <Roberto35> what do i need to make working mediastreams on firefox? Just the flashplugin nonfree?
[21:42] <Ax-Ax> not box :(
[21:42] <solexious> Hello all, I have a generic raid card, how can I see if linux has drivers to support it?
[21:42] <k3zo> hi I've just installed ubuntu and I've gone on to isntall the restricted driver for my ati x800xt card.  now compiz won't work and returns the error... The Composite extension is not available

[21:42] <derrin_> seasonfive:  French are cool!
[21:42] <seasonfive> derrin_: indeed apache is killed now. You should be able to restart it
[21:43] <pp_> boas deveras
[21:43] <deveras> hello
[21:43] <deveras> english mate
[21:43] <deveras> L)
[21:44] <pp_> ok
[21:44] <deveras> dudes we need some help
[21:44] <deveras> past the error pp
[21:44] <deveras> if you pleasee
[21:44] <seasonfive> derrin_: does it work ?
[21:44] <derrin_> seasonfive:  same message:  $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[21:44] <derrin_>  * Restarting web server apache2                                                httpd (no pid file) not running

[21:45] <deveras> we are trying to set ati drivers and using apt-get for it, but it doesnt seam to find xorg.conf
[21:45] <derrin_> Why does it say not running?
[21:45] <seasonfive> derrin_: its just complaining because you asked a restart while apache was not running.
[21:45] <derrin_> seasonfive:  Why does it say not running?
[21:45] <redguy> derrin_: because it wasn't running
[21:45] <noo1> I have a strange problem that I am failing to resolve. Here on my ubuntu box I can grab pages that have recently been loaded by other pcs on my network. I couldn't connect to IRC, until I connected to the same network on my laptop, then after a few attempts I succeeded on my ubuntu box.  I can dig/ping any site out there from my ubuntu box, but I cant load pages that aren't in cache in FF.
[21:45] <jamescarr> is there a good tool for editing quicktime movies?
[21:45] <seasonfive> derrin_: because restart = stop then start. The stop failed because apache wasn't running (you killed it)
[21:46] <seasonfive> derrin_: but the start succeeded :)
[21:46] <arken_> hello, i need some help finding a program. There was a program that allowed you to take your version of ubuntu and seal it to make a live cd, what was it called/
[21:46] <Ax-Ax> how do i restart samba?
[21:46] <panik> Having a problem with my wireless connection on 7.10, showing connection and asking for pw, but pw isnt working? or letting me connect?
[21:46] <redguy> noo1: you have a proxy server running in your network?
[21:46] <noo1> redguy: nope :-\
[21:46] <derrin_> seasonfive:  okay.  I get it the last bit.  Thanks very much.  Not clear re: what was causing my problem?
[21:47] <redguy> Ax-Ax: erm /etc/init.d/samba restart ?
[21:47] <Ax-Ax> redguy :)
[21:47] <redguy> noo1: well, it seems so
[21:47] <seasonfive> derrin_: don't you started apache by hand ? using sudo http or sthg like that ?
[21:47] <Roberto35> makes me nervous a little bit i must admit why cannot i not make run media streams on ubuntu Gutsy i have installed the Gnash player and the flashplugin-nonfree why isnt it working can anybody please help me
[21:48] <pike_> Roberto35: ok so ... remove that stuff
[21:48] <Aloha> anyone know the link to the forgot password page on ubuntu forums?
[21:48] <noo1> redguy: i agree the symptoms would suggest that, but trust me i dont haev a proxy server running. do you have any other ideas of why this might happen?
[21:48] <derrin_> seasonfive:  might have done sth a along time ago.  My bad.  sorry.
[21:48] <Roberto35> pike_: why? doesnt that work?
[21:48] <arken_> hello, i need some help finding a program. There was a program that allowed you to take your version of ubuntu and seal it to make a live cd, what was it called?
[21:48] <pike_> Roberto35: then go to adobe website and download the plugin then double-click the tar.gz to open it now open a new terminal and type gksu nautilus and drag the plugin to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[21:48] <redguy> noo1: check firefox preferences (edit->preferences->advanced->network tab->settings button) and see if you don't have a proxy server configured
[21:48] <derrin_> seasonfive:  Is there any good training documentation to learn how tpo set up / manage LAMP?
[21:48] <deveras> apt-get search doesnt work... how do i find pakages with apt? trying to isntal ssh
[21:48] <pike_> Roberto35: thats the non distro specific way
[21:49] <seasonfive> derrin_: that's not a problem, nor a mistake. That just depend of what you want to do. As i said, lear the basics.
[21:49] <seasonfive> learn
[21:49] <Roberto35> pike_: sounds a bit difficult i am a new user but i will try that
[21:49] <panik> Having a problem with my wireless connection on 7.10, showing connection and asking for pw, but pw isnt working? or letting me connect? any help would be great ;)
[21:49] <pike_> !flashissue | Roberto35 also see this
[21:49] <ubotu> Roberto35 also see this: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[21:49] <derrin_> seasonfive:  AM keen to learn the basics.  Where should I start?  Can you recommend a good book?
[21:49] <derrin_> seasonfive:  or a good website?
[21:49] <noo1> redguy: checked, no proxy settings.
[21:50] <seasonfive> derrin_: i know only french ones. sorry
[21:50] <jamescarr> is there a good tool for editing quicktime movies?
[21:50] <deveras> apt-get search doesnt work... how do i find pakages with apt? trying to isntal ssh
[21:50] <derrin_> seasonfive:  Ahhh   - my French is poor!   Hahahaha!   thanks for all your help! Bye!
[21:51] <seasonfive> derrin_: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ ?
[21:51] <Roberto35> pike_: thanks
[21:51] <noo1> redguy: so theres nothing set odd in FF, and I can ping/dig any site from term.  I don't know whats wrong here.
[21:51] <dcmorton> deveras: apt-cache search ssh
[21:51] <deveras> thanks dcmorton
[21:51] <dcmorton> and: apt-get install openssh-server
[21:51] <redguy> noo1: tried any other browser? elins/lynx perhaps?
[21:52] <jamescarr> linux geeks dont edit video ;)
[21:52] <deveras> to make it run?
[21:52] <ally_oxxo> hey guys, my "Movie Player" for some reason does not play my .mp3. How come?
[21:52] <redguy> noo1: ah, you say that not only http has problems
[21:52] <Sonja> is there a way to raise or lower the global volume pressing Windowskey-uparrow and Windowskey-downarrow or something similar to that?
[21:52] <redguy> noo1: maybe you have IPs messed up in your network?
[21:52] <arken_> ally_oxxo: Have you installed the mp3 codecs?
[21:52] <dcmorton> deveras: thats the install package.. you can use that if you don't want to search for the particular one
[21:53] <arken_> ally_oxxo: go into the add/remove programs and search "mp3", and install all of those
[21:53] <dcmorton> just trying to save you some time
[21:53] <noo1> redguy: i have it set to DHCP, and it grabs a valid IP from my router which no other box is using
[21:53] <deveras> dcmorton service openssh start ?
[21:53] <ally_oxxo> arken_ its complex. I had everythign working fine the other day until i tried to install DVD packages.
[21:53] <ally_oxxo> i removed all my totem,vlc, amarok because they would freeze everytime i tried to play a file
[21:53] <dcmorton> deveras: the server will start automatically
[21:53] <arken_> ally_oxxo: just get all those codecs like i told you to, and tell me what happens
[21:53] <redguy> noo1: hmmm
[21:53] <ally_oxxo> okay
[21:54] <ally_oxxo> 1 sec
[21:54] <derrin_> seasonfive:  thanks for the website!  thanks friend!
[21:54] <julio> hello everyone
[21:54] <Flare183> !hi | julio
[21:54] <ubotu> julio: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[21:54] <redguy> noo1: seems very odd. Just to make sure - did you try to arping your IP ? This would detect duplicate IPs
[21:54] <deveras> dcmorton thanks, last question any reason that the sudo aticonfig --initial
[21:54] <deveras>  for the instalation of the ATI driver would fail no finding xorg.conf
[21:55] <noo1> redguy: no, how do I do that
[21:55] <jephey> I need help with an init.d script I made, it modprobes the x10 driver (home automation) and then I must specify the serial port to use... but I use a USB->Serial converter and the /dev/ttyUSB# changes intermittently... how can I lookup by the USB vendor or device ID the /dev/ path to it? Is there a way to do that?
[21:55] <ally_oxxo> arken_ install all of these?
[21:55] <ally_oxxo> thats a lot
[21:55] <seasonfive> derrin_: You're welcome.
[21:55] <arken_> ally_oxxo: the drivers
[21:55] <Flare183> !enter
[21:55] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[21:55] <arken_> ally_oxxo: not the programs.
[21:55] <ally_oxxo> yeah the only driver i notice was "ubuntu restricted-extras"
[21:55] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: It's the first three, GStreamer extra -- GStreamer ffmpeg and Ubuntu Restricted Extras
[21:55] <Dr_willis__> jephey,  i think you can tweak the udev rules to give it a specific name.. but ive never done so. Just read a few articals about doing that.
[21:55] <wyclif> !hi | pinkbunny
[21:55] <ubotu> pinkbunny: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[21:56] <ally_oxxo> but i already had that install and unisntalled  it
[21:56] <ERGLupin> im trying to install 7.10 on an external HDD and it seems to get stucked on installing system "Detecting FIle System"
[21:56] <dcmorton> deveras: i'm unfamilar with the ATI drivers and their installation.. I would try here: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[21:56] <jephey> About udev and USB?
[21:56] <ally_oxxo> yes Cpudan80: ill reinstall those
[21:56] <arken_> ERGLubin: GParted ftw.
[21:56] <Dr_willis__> jephey,   I may  a bit confused. but i think thats 'close' to what needs to be done. :)
[21:56] <Dr_willis__> !udev
[21:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about udev - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:56] <Jinn> How do i install Java on ubuntu PS3 ??
[21:56] <Jinn> Help!
[21:56] <dcmorton> deveras: that script makes it easy to get them installed properly
[21:56] <deveras> dcmorton again thank you mate
[21:56] <ERGLupin> so use GParted to make the partitions instead of the installer?
[21:56] <Flare183> !java | Jinn
[21:56] <ubotu> Jinn: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[21:56] <ally_oxxo> CpuDan80: its been 6 hours and i havnt had a break of luck fixing it :(
[21:56] <Jinn> How do i install Java on ubuntu ps3 ??
[21:56] <mats_> how come ubuntu doesnt have a firewall?
[21:56] <deveras> i will have ssh to the machine and try that dcmorton cheers
[21:56] <Dr_willis__> Jinn,  i would be suprised if java has been ported to the ps3 cpus
[21:56] <Flare183> !iptables | mats_
[21:56] <julio> What's going on with the updates?
[21:57] <ubotu> mats_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[21:57] <arken_> ERGLubin: The installer is crap, get Gparted under the repos
[21:57] <Jinn> Flare !! help me out man
[21:57] <Dr_willis__> mats_,  it does.. Its just not enabled by default.
[21:57] <Dr_willis__> !firewall | mats_
[21:57] <redguy> noo1: try typing arping your_ip in the terminal
[21:57] <Flare183> Jinn: what is it?
[21:57] <Dr_willis__> mats_,  not that its really needed for most people.
[21:57] <ERGLupin> arken_ how can I install apps from a live cd? or do you mean the live cd of gparted?
[21:57] <Jinn> am unable to install java on my ubuntu
[21:57] <redguy> noo1: install the arping(?) package if necessary
[21:57] <Jinn> by the way am using a PPC
[21:57] <mats_> tables oldschool
[21:57] <Jinn> :(
[21:57] <arken_> ERGLupin: Ask someone else, I'm 14 and new to linux, lol
[21:58] <julio> mats_, ubotu is a boot, isn't a human being
[21:58] <redguy> noo1: what kind of LAN do you have? is it wifi?
[21:58] <jephey> For the record guys, Linux + Blueproximity and X10 ... you can turn off the lights when you walk out of the room, dim them, turn down the volume on your tv or mute it, it's so cheap too! If anyone wants to do something seriously cool.
[21:58] <ERGLupin> ...
[21:58] <Dr_willis__> Jinn,  Im not sure if the PS3 actually counts as a PPC or not.  I imagine theres some PS3 linux forums on the web.
[21:58] <ally_oxxo> arken_ okay i installed those drivers like you said.
[21:58] <mats_> bot
[21:58] <ally_oxxo> should i go to Source List?
[21:58] <noo1> redguy: its ethernet, im running the arping and it said WARNING: interface is ignored, operation not permitted and on the next line it says arping
[21:58] <arken_> ally_oxxo: So try it again.. and see what happens.
[21:58] <Jinn> dude
[21:58] <jephey> *using a bluetooth phone as a beacon indicating where you are ofcourse
[21:58] <Jinn> i've searched everywhere
[21:58] <TrichomeKid> So, im trying to install ubuntu and when it gets to the login screen it says "logging in as ubuntu in 10 seconds" but when the desktop tries to load the monitor flickers and goes back to login screen. anyone know the cause?
[21:58] <Jinn> tried everything
[21:58] <Flare183> Jinn: I don't know what the arch. that the ps3 has?
[21:58] <Jinn> googles all that forumes out there
[21:58] <Jinn> ohh arch
[21:59] <Jinn> ??
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> arken_ still wont play my mp3
[21:59] <Jinn> i think its i386 i think
[21:59] <arken_> ally_oxxo maybe its the goddamn mp3
[21:59] <Flare183> !ps3
[21:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ps3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:59] <redguy> noo1: sudo arping then
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> it opens for a second, doesnt paly, and the screen "slowly fades to black/grey" and locks
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> no no
[21:59] <Dr_willis__>  the ps3 is NOT an i386
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> i had it playing yesterday
[21:59] <panik> Any help with wireless belkin usb?
[21:59] <Jinn> well mine is
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> it wasn't until today when i was fooling around with the DVD packages
[21:59] <Jinn> it even says it
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> did this happen
[22:00] <Jinn> when i install something it says package doesn't support i386
[22:00] <Flare183> !java
[22:00] <Dr_willis__> Jinn,  then somthing is very confused in the land of ps3 linux. the PS3 uses the cell processors that are PPC variants. if its really a i386 - the  You just install the normal java packages.
[22:00] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[22:00] <noo1> redguy: no responses, sent 17 probes (17 broadcasts) 0 responses
[22:00] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: Open the thing in Apps --> Sound/Vid --> Movie Player, it should download the correct codecs
[22:00] <Jinn> Willis
[22:00] <ally_oxxo> um ok let me try
[22:00] <Flare183> Jinn: if your system is ppc
[22:00] <Jinn> how do i install things manually ?
[22:00] <Jinn> on my ubuntu ps3 ?
[22:00] <Flare183> Jinn: crap then try this
[22:00] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: If it doesn't --- you've got something really hosed up, prob should just kill it and redo it from scratch
[22:00] <Flare183> !javappc
[22:00] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[22:01] <Roberto35> pike_: it works now, but why is that so difficult to make running if u dont know this homepage
[22:01] <redguy> noo1: well that was an even further shot. No idea what could cause the symptoms you described.
[22:01] <ally_oxxo> Cpudan80: I opned up Totem MOvie Player but its not downloading the codecs
[22:01] <noo1> sigh...
[22:01] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: What happens when you try to play the file?
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> same thing, it turns grey/black locks and i have to force-quit or xkill
[22:02] <underwatercow> is there an easy (good) way to do speech to text in Ubuntu?
[22:02] <chalcedony> what are things called that play music? is xmms one? and how do I play a .wav file on cd with it?
[22:02] <Dr_willis_> http://psubuntu.com/2007/02/13/howto-enable-java-for-firefox/
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> i've already uninstalled totem Movie Player 20 times today
[22:02] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: Yeah, something is hosed up beyond repair -- format and start over
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> and still no luck
[22:02] <Jinn> what does IcedTea do ?
[22:02] <chazco> Hi... which would be the best option? Gusty under VirtualBox on XP or a duel-boot system? Tried XP under Virtualbox on Gusty but Gusty still has too many issues :(
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> oh dear cpudan
[22:02] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  check http://psubuntu.com/2007/02/13/howto-enable-java-for-firefox/
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> i didnt want to hear those words! :(
[22:02] <peepsalot> i'm trying to use OO.org to view some documents.  I don't want to edit them, just view them, but it keeps popping up all these stupid editing toolbars and things that I don't want to see.  they just get in my way.  is there some way to make it stop doing this?
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> i guess it's for the best right?
[22:02] <chalcedony> Jinn: it's tea.. with ice .. a cold drink in the Southern USA.. "Sweet Tea"
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> sigh*
[22:02] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: If you just started you can't have that much data....
[22:03] <ally_oxxo> 4 days :)
[22:03] <Jinn> chaldonkey ! its not funny!!
[22:03] <seasonfive> chazco: why would you want to keep your windows ? :p
[22:03] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: That would be my best advice at this point
[22:03] <ally_oxxo> i agree
[22:03] <ally_oxxo> i had that idea 10 hours ago
[22:03] <ally_oxxo> haah P
[22:03] <chalcedony> Jinn: i'm someone's mother. not a linux guru
[22:03] <chazco> seasonfive - Because Ubuntu wont let me use my PocketPC, Samsung phone and has issues with my uni documents and website... :D
[22:03] <chalcedony> tea is tea
[22:04] <Jinn> then why bother answering ?
[22:04] <erUSUL> peepsalot: use the print preview mode?
[22:04] <Jinn> when do don't know what it is ?
[22:04] <seasonfive> chazco: wow, seems you have all the things microsoft sell :)
[22:04] <ally_xoxoo> hey Cpudan80
[22:04] <Cpudan80> hi ally_xoxoo
[22:04] <chalcedony> anyone please ? what are things called that play music? is xmms one? and how do I play a .wav file on cd with it?
[22:04] <ally_xoxoo> do i need to do "boot and nuke" to erease my harddrive or just run the iso?
[22:04] <chazco> Anyway, trying to work out the best way to keep both?
[22:04] <Dr_willis_> chalcedony,  theres a dozen media players. I like bmpx for my music.
[22:04] <Cpudan80> ally_xoxoo: you can do it from the live CD
[22:04] <erUSUL> !players | chalcedony
[22:04] <ubotu> chalcedony: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs
[22:04] <seasonfive> chazco: by the way, i don't see how your computer prevent you of using your pocketpc :)
[22:05] <ally_xoxoo> does the live CD erase all the data on the harddrive beyond recovery though?
[22:05] <chalcedony> erUSUL: oh
[22:05] <chazco> I cant syncronise with it, which i really need to
[22:05] <chalcedony> umm what to do now?
[22:05] <seasonfive> chazco: the simplest way is to find a better phone and a better uni
[22:05] <chazco> Put bluntly, Ubuntu cant cut it currently, so i need Windows
[22:05] <doolph> hi
[22:05] <chazco> But i like Ubuntu for most stuff, which means i need both :D
[22:05] <ally_xoxoo> ok restarting cpudan80 ill be back in a few
[22:05] <erUSUL> chalcedony: install one player and use it
[22:06] <mats_> ubuntu only has ip tables and no firewall
[22:06] <chalcedony> erUSUL: i have xmms.. how do i get it to see the cd and play it?
[22:06] <redguy> mats_: what do you consider a firewall then?
[22:06] <doolph> anyone can tell me if there's any help on resell computers with ubuntu installed?
[22:06] <redguy> mats_: if not iptables?
[22:06] <erUSUL> chalcedony: is cd audio?
[22:06] <panik> WPA problems on 7.10
[22:06] <chalcedony> mats_: iptables is the BEST of firewalls .. it just takes a while to learn it
[22:07] <Ham1722> Hi im Ham, I enjoy long walks on the beach, but more recently i cannot do this as i've been trying franticly to install ubuntu on my new pc that came in yesterday. Is it possible to configure xserve before install?
[22:07] <mats_> something with a graphical interface ; )
[22:07] <chalcedony> erUSUL: YES .. audio recording in .wav
[22:07] <seasonfive> chazco: nobody need windows :)
[22:07] <Jinn> It always says *couldn't find package*
[22:07] <seasonfive> chazco: then i guess Gutsy on XP is just fine for you ?
[22:07] <erUSUL> chalcedony: is a data cd with wav files or a cd-audio ??
[22:07] <Jinn> and i don't know how to download and install stuff on ubuntu
[22:07] <mats_> without bill where would we be?
[22:07] <redguy> mats_: ah you mean a firewall GUI then? seen firestarter?
[22:08] <seasonfive> chazco: but me it doesn't worth such effort
[22:08] <chalcedony> erUSUL: it's a data cd with wav files
[22:08] <erUSUL> !firewall
[22:08] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[22:08] <mats_> checking it right now looks fine
[22:08] <chazco> Ok... tell me how to use Linux to sync my PPC calender, sync my phone calender, use my USB keyboard and access my uni intranet, print stuff the same as it supposed to look (even with MS fonts + Softmaker)... and i'll not need Windows then :)
[22:08] <erUSUL> chalcedony: with xmms press add files and browse to the cd ( /media/cdrom/ usually)
[22:08] <chazco> So... performance wise... duel-boot or Virtualbox on XP?
[22:08] <chalcedony> erUSUL: you are wonderufl !! thank you :)
[22:09] <doolph> there's any ubuntu version on dvd?
[22:09] <erUSUL> chalcedony: no problem
[22:09] <seasonfive> chazco: http://www.linux.com/articles/114065
[22:09] <Ham1722> how does one configue xserve before install? is this possible?
[22:09] <mwe> before install?
[22:09] <neeto> I am trying to install new system sounds on xubuntu, should I use aRts, even though it's for KDE?
[22:09] <chazco> seasonfive - If thats synce, it doenst work with this PPC
[22:10] <chazco> (not enough free RAM to run Firefox atm)
[22:10] <seasonfive> chazco: lol
[22:10] <Ham1722> well ubuntu wont let me install it as when it tried to display anything after loading rc.local the display apparently shuts down, from what ive been told this is due to xserve?
[22:10] <chazco> Only got 256MB of RAM, and running XP in Virtualbox currently :D
[22:10] <seasonfive> chazco: even your computer don't want windows anymore :)
[22:10] <Jinn> why isn't you ubuntu easy to use as Mac and windows !! ??
[22:11] <neeto> lol Jinn
[22:11] <seasonfive> Jinn: because you didn't contributed to that ?
[22:11] <EtteSB> where are aliases set if i want them permanent?
[22:11] <jamescarr> hey quick question
[22:11] <sadaiyappan> how do i turn on javascript?
[22:11] <neeto> I am trying to install new system sounds on xubuntu, should I use aRts, even though it's for KDE?
[22:11] <jamescarr> I am using Linux Mint, which is for the most part ubuntu based right?
[22:11] <Jinn> maybe if it was alotta people would be swtiching from windows to ubuntu
[22:12] <sadaiyappan> how do i turn on javascript?
[22:12] <Jinn> linux are dump
[22:12] <Jinn> dude
[22:12] <Jinn> i need help installing java on my ubuntu ps3
[22:12] <sadaiyappan> how do i turn on javascript?
[22:12] <Jinn> no clue :(
[22:12] <mats_> firestarter is a lot easier to handle then just IP Tables
[22:12] <jamescarr> sadaiyappan: in firefox?
[22:12] <chazco> Nope... USB pass-through to Virtualbox for PocketPC is also failing :(
[22:12] <sadaiyappan> yeah
[22:12] <sadaiyappan> jamescarr in firefox
[22:12] <mwe> sadaiyappan: don't repeat
[22:13] <mwe> sadaiyappan: it's on by default
[22:13] <EtteSB> dont you need to install java first?
[22:13] <jamescarr> sadaiyappan: pretty simple... but ask in #firefox or #mozilla
[22:13] <mwe> no
[22:13] <mwe> not for javascript
[22:13] <mwe> only for java
[22:13] <Jinn> and besides shouldn't the firefox on ubuntu auto download java for you ?
[22:13] <jamescarr> EtteSB: Java is not Javascript!
[22:13] <EtteSB> meh almost :O
[22:13] <fparis> okay. this update did NOT fix my keyboard typing problem. it still jitters and hates   me and retypes a key whenever it wants
[22:13] <mwe> two entirely different things
[22:13] <jamescarr> Jinn: JAVA IS NOT JAVASCRIPT
[22:13] <sadaiyappan> hm..
[22:13] <jamescarr> EtteSB: NO IT IS NOT AT ALL
[22:13] <sadaiyappan> ok I need it for flash player
[22:13] <jamescarr> sorry
[22:13] <chazco> Hmm... is it safe to edit permissions on the USBFS
[22:14] <benanzo> Jinn: do you want Java or JavaScript?
[22:14] <chazco> ?
[22:14] <jamescarr> thats one thing that aggrivates me
[22:14] <Jinn> i never said it was javascript ?
[22:14] <mats_> so is there in IDS for Ubuntu? Snort?
[22:14] <sadaiyappan> flashplayer is not working for me
[22:14] <Jinn> I want Java!!
[22:14] <mwe> java and javascript don't have much in common besides a part of the name
[22:14] <Jinn> on my ubuntu ps3 !
[22:14] <seasonfive> Jinn: you're running Ubuntu on a Playstation 3 ?
[22:14] <jamescarr> java and ecmascript (known as javascript) have NOTHING in common ;)
[22:14] <Jinn> Indeed
[22:14] <seasonfive> Jinn: perhaps Java doesn't exist for cell processor yet ?
[22:14] <benanzo> Jinn: open a terminal Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[22:14] <TrichomeKid> Does the alternative install setup with the gui?
[22:14] <jamescarr> ecmascript is only called javascript because of a marketting agreement with netscape and sun back in the early 90s
[22:14] <benanzo> and type 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[22:15] <EtteSB> sadaiyappan: flash is broken
[22:15] <Jinn> k
[22:15] <Jinn> i have
[22:15] <seasonfive> Jinn: at least on Linux. Install XP or Vista on it :)
[22:15] <Jinn> and ?
[22:15] <mwe> well they'e computer languages :)
[22:15] <benanzo> that will install Java and Flash and mp3 support, as well as a bunch of other nice-to-have things
[22:15] <benanzo> like MS Fonts
[22:15] <jamescarr> however, I do write some java applications using javascript :)
[22:15] <Whisper> how do i add sshd to autostart?
[22:15] <Jinn> dude ps3 has only 256MB and linux does nothing but emulates xp
[22:15] <NET||abuse> jeezus,, ok,,, memory stick was working a few minutes ago.. moved files over to my gf's laptop so she could use them, now was going to do it again (i safely detatched the stick) and i keep just getting these messages in /var/log/messages  http://www.pastebin.org/16377
[22:15] <Jinn> and vista
[22:15] <Jinn> so imagine the speed
[22:15] <jamescarr> java 6 has a built in scripting engine
[22:15] <chazco> The MS Fonts make most formatting worse for me ironically
[22:15] <Dr_willis_> Whisper,  if you install the ssh server package. it will auto start at boot up.
[22:16] <mats_> redguy is there an IDS for Ubuntu? Snort?
[22:16] <seasonfive> Jinn: it try
[22:16] <NET||abuse> what's wrong with the usb port,, i moved the stick to and from both laptops,, one is XP and it picks up the memory stick no problem
[22:16] <Jinn> what ?
[22:16] <seasonfive> Jinn: XP and Vista are far away better
[22:16] <Jinn> try it ?
[22:16] <Whisper> Dr_willis_ okay thanks
[22:16] <pinkbunny> wyclif, lol why are you welcoming me? ive been in here for over 2 years :)
[22:16] <benanzo> Whisper: how did you install it?  It should autostart automatically if you just installed via apt-get or synaptic
[22:16] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  you are rambling.. and it dosent really sound like a Ubuntu related topic. :)
[22:16] <Jinn> if that would completely delete the ubuntu so i can use the xp
[22:16] <Jinn>  i would
[22:16] <Jinn> but ubuntu will emulate it
[22:17] <Jinn> five was telling me to install xp on ubuntu
[22:17] <redguy> mats_: yup, I think ACID is there as well. It's a nice front-end to snort
[22:17] <seasonfive> Jinn: can i laught ?
[22:17] <Jinn> sure five
[22:17] <Jinn> Willis ,help!!
[22:17] <mwe> jamescarr: so that's true javascript. I'll tell my web developer friends that they in fact don't know javascript :)
[22:17] <Jinn> :(
[22:17] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  with vmware, or virtualbox . you can run xp under linux. correct. Some people need it.. others dont. :)
[22:17] <mats_> right on will check out ACID now
[22:17] <TrichomeKid> Does the alternative install setup with the GUI?
[22:17] <chazco> Is it safe to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules? Want to slightly change the permissions on the usb subsystem...
[22:17] <seasonfive> Jinn: well. Are you sure Java for Cell exist ?
[22:17] <Jinn> willis
[22:17] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  dont expect vmware or virtualbox to work on your ps3 however.
[22:17] <DerangedDelusion> Does anyone know of a Command-Line based IRC File Server?
[22:18] <Jinn> what is the point in doing this
[22:18] <Jinn> when
[22:18] <pike_> TrichomeKid: command line but its still kinda graphical
[22:18] <Jinn> ur xp
[22:18] <Jinn> wil be slow ?
[22:18] <Dr_willis_> I pasted a link on Java for the PS3 Ubuntu earlier.
[22:18] <Jinn> duo to the emulation
[22:18] <sadaiyappan> what do you mean flash is broken?
[22:18] <Dr_willis_> http://psubuntu.com/2007/02/13/howto-enable-java-for-firefox/
[22:18] <TrichomeKid> pike_: will i be able to install KDE or Gnome?
[22:18] <sadaiyappan> so it doesn't work right?
[22:18] <Jinn> willis
[22:18] <craig1709> Is anyone else reminded of "jerryleecooper"?
[22:18] <julio> i got go
[22:18] <Dr_willis_> sadaiyappan,  the flash company updated flash and broke the ubuntu flash installer.
[22:18] <julio> by
[22:18] <Jinn> help me install java on ubuntu ?
[22:18] <julio> quit
[22:19] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  go read that link i just posted.. follow the directions.. any problems check the psubuntu.com forums.
[22:19] <simion314> hi, i belive that my sound is on MUTE and the volume icon is missing , and i do not have sound. How can i get the volume icon appear?
[22:19] <sadaiyappan> oh
[22:19] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  all i did was google and find it.
[22:19] <sadaiyappan> when will it be fixed?
[22:19] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  ps3 linux - is still VERY VERY much a work in progress
[22:19] <pike_> TrichomeKid: yeah. even after the install you just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or whatever if you want it
[22:19] <TrichomeKid> pike_: okay thanks
[22:19] <pike_> TrichomeKid: but yes default alternate cd install has full gnome environment
[22:19] <seasonfive> Is Cell processor has PPC emulation ?
[22:20] <sadaiyappan> is it possible to get the older versions?
[22:20] <jroes> is there a way I can remove a package from attempting to be installed when I run apt-get install?  I have a botched sun-java6-bin that keeps trying to install and it prevents me from installing other pkgs
[22:20] <syntaxerror55> !flash > sadaiyappan
[22:20] <PCHENK> hi
[22:21] <syntaxerror55> PCHENK: Hello.
[22:21] <scguy318> jroes: remove the broken package perhaps
[22:21] <Dr_willis_> seasonfive,  i think the cell is some sort of ppc variant. :) but i dont keep up with ppc stuff.
[22:21] <PCHENK> hi

[22:23] <Light> Err, anyone know how to dual boot ubuntu with XP? Not being able to get onto ubuntu without disk.
[22:23] <Dr_willis_> Light,  your grub menu is broken?
[22:23] <mats_> redguy ACID looks fine
[22:23] <Light> Yes.
[22:23] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[22:23] <Dr_willis_> !fixgrub | Light
[22:23] <ubotu> Light: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[22:23] <NET||abuse> anyone able to tell me why my usb ports are always failing under ubuntu?
[22:23] <Light> I tried that.
[22:24] <Light> It still boots into windows.
[22:24] <Dr_willis_> Light,  grub is one of those tools that it pays to read the grub homepage/docs and learn its ins and outs.
[22:24] <NET||abuse> if i reboot it'll probably work, but that is just unacceptable for day to day usage
[22:24] <Jinn> why doesn't the ubuntu update manager install java for us ?
[22:24] <Dr_willis_> Light,  so you are sayin gyou get NO grub menu at boot up then?
[22:24] <Jinn> who are the people working on this updates anyways ?
[22:24] <mwe> NET||abuse: failing, as in not detected?
[22:24] <scguy318> Jinn: because the Update Manager simply finds updates for existing packages
[22:24] <Light> Err, yeah.
[22:24] <scguy318> Jinn: you want to use Synaptic for Java package installation
[22:24] <Light> Nothing, just auto boots into windows.
[22:24] <Linuxishawt> Does anyone know if source-o-matic down?
[22:24] <Light> I've installed it back on ubuntu, still boots into windows..
[22:24] <Dr_willis_> Light,  you need to reinstall grub to the mbr of the boot drive then. to get a grub menu
[22:25] <Light> I did..
[22:25] <scguy318> Light: is your BIOS preventing you from writing to the MBR?
[22:25] <Light> Preventing me?
[22:25] <Jinn> i have a windows ultimate CD
[22:25] <Dr_willis_> Light,  i would say you did somrhting wrong then. :) this is how its done.
[22:25] <Jinn> now how am i suppose to make the run under ubuntu ?
[22:25] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  install vmware, install the os inside vmware.
[22:25] <Light> Well, all I did was follow the steps.
[22:25] <larryone> Hi, has anyone hwe
[22:25] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  or virtualbox instead of vmwaer
[22:25] <daedra> how do you get terminal up in gutsy
[22:25] <daedra> ?
[22:26] <larryone> sorry - has anyone here ever installed dual boot with windoze vista?
[22:26] <Jinn> and must i log on ubuntu everytime i wanna log on vista ?
[22:26] <Light> Like, sudo grub, so on, but no menu..
[22:26] <Jinn> which one of this is better ?
[22:26] <Light> I checked the HDD and it's there.
[22:26] <scguy318> Jinn: if you went the VM route, yes, a dual-boot would be different
[22:26] <mwe> Jinn: you don't log on to linux to log on to windows, no
[22:26] <Jinn> virtual box ?
[22:26] <Cpudan80> Jinn: You really need to ask yourself what you are using Vista for
[22:27] <scguy318> Light: dd if=/dev/yourdisk bs=512 count=1 | strings :P
[22:27] <mwe> Jinn: at boot up you choose which one you wanna start
[22:27] <Cpudan80> If you want it for gaming -- you MUST dual boot
[22:27] <Jinn> dude
[22:27] <larryone> Jinn, when you're running dual boot, the grub list loads frst, not ubuntu.... that's where you can choose to go to vista or ubuntu
[22:27] <Light> Say what?
[22:27] <Ham1722> would someone be able to help me install ubuntu on my machine, i've been having an issue where once the installer runs "/ect/rc.local" it just hangs, I've tried installing using the GUI safe mode thing, where it comes up with an error "The screen has turned off(something like that) 6 times in the last 90 seconds, something bad could be going wrong". I sort of know my way around Linux (haven't used it in a very long time and i was using 
[22:27] <Ham1722> problem is
[22:27] <Jinn>  i don't care
[22:27] <Jinn> fo far as
[22:27] <Jinn> its better than ubuntu
[22:27] <Cpudan80> Pretty much every other situation can be done in a VM
[22:27] <Jinn> how do i get virtual box ?
[22:27] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  of coruse if you are wanting to do this on your PS3. i dont think vmware, or virtualbox exist for the ps3linux yet.
[22:27] <Cpudan80> Vista sucks - use XP in a VM
[22:27] <Dr_willis_> !virtualbox
[22:27] <ubotu> virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[22:27] <Jinn> lol
[22:27] <scguy318> Dr_willis_: mebbe QEMU or something related, but other than that eh
[22:27] <Dr_willis_> !vmware
[22:27] <Jinn> dan
[22:27] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[22:27] <scguy318> Light: what's the device name of your disk?
[22:27] <daedra> how do you get framebuffer console up?
[22:27] <Dr_willis_> all bets are off when using PS3 Linux.
[22:27] <Jinn> its probably because u've been influanced by those idiots that u hang out with
[22:28] <jay-oh-en> every time i try to install java it gives me this
[22:28] <Jinn> i use both xp and vista
[22:28] <Jinn> and seriously
[22:28] <Light> I still don't get how to fix it..
[22:28] <CHOWNER> whos callin who a player? VIMware
[22:28] <Jinn> vista is way better
[22:28] <scguy318> Jinn: well, good for you I guess
[22:28] <Ham1722> any one?
[22:28] <Jinn> and it supports most of my applications
[22:28] <Jinn> 98%
[22:28] <scguy318> Ham1722: what's your question?
[22:28] <syntaxerror55> Jinn: then delete your Linux partition
[22:28] <Cpudan80> Jinn: I don't appreciate being called an idiot - Vista's stupidity is not the subject for #ubuntu
[22:28] <Jinn> and besides am talking about a 64-bit vista
[22:28] <sethk> Jinn, last I checked, vista is still available, so use it  if you like it
[22:28] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  what if that last 2% was CRITICAL to your business...
[22:28] <Light> =S
[22:28] <CHOWNER> Vista Linux

[22:30] <scguy318> daedra: wrong addressee sorrry
[22:30] <kestir> Can someone kick Jinn the troll please?

[22:32] <Seveas> CHOWNER, this is a very busy support channel. Take offtopic talk elsewhere
[22:33] <bascule> daedra: you have to add the modules in /etc/modules or something
[22:33]  * CHOWNER does a sloppy salute
[22:33] <larryone> is there a different channel dedicated to ubuntu installs?
[22:33] <daedra> I'm installing feisty

[22:33] <Dr_willis_> syntaxerror55,  and a lot of people that dont listen :)
[22:33] <scguy318> larryone: not really, here is good
[22:33] <ikonia> CHOWNER: can you please stop
[22:33] <bascule> daedra: or rebuild an initramfs, or put your own kernel in :)
[22:33] <larryone> ok
[22:33] <daedra> bascule: thought as much
[22:33] <larryone> scguy318, I have 4 current partitions
[22:33] <larryone> no3 is huge
[22:33] <daedra> bascule: Gutsy is ubuntu's Vista
[22:33] <syntaxerror55> Dr_willis_: there's always a lot of those.
[22:34] <larryone> can I resize it and put in ubintu there?
[22:34] <scguy318> daedra: that's a bad comparison :P
[22:34] <ikonia> daedra: please don't say that as that is nonsense
[22:34] <Seveas> daedra, neh, gutsy doesn't suck :)
[22:34] <syntaxerror55> daedra: And what does that make Hardy? :D
[22:34] <scguy318> larryone: and your question is?
[22:34] <larryone> can I resize it and put in ubintu there?
[22:34] <Light> scguy318: http://pastebin.com/d2b16defd
[22:34] <scguy318> larryone: yes
[22:34] <Seveas> larryone, yes, the ubuntu installer will let you do that
[22:34] <ikonia> larryone: sure, but just be aware that resizing partitions is not without risk
[22:35] <daedra> if you can't set up framebuffer console easily then its a horrifiying mess
[22:35] <larryone> ok
[22:35] <daedra> I'm overexaggerating but I am a console-junkie :)
[22:35] <larryone> but if I put a swap partition aswell that meand 6 partitions total, is that ok?
[22:35] <Dr_willis_> daedra,   i normal disable the framebuffer console..
[22:35] <ikonia> larryone: thats fine
[22:35] <scguy318> larryone: yes
[22:35] <larryone> ok
[22:35] <Light> ?
[22:35] <mats_> flash does work on gutsy but it takes a lot of effort
[22:35] <scguy318> Light: perhaps GRUB is being written to /dev/sdb when your BIOS boots from /dev/sda?
[22:35] <CrazyWulf> So here's a question......     Where do all of my minimized apps keep going? :/
[22:36] <Dr_willis_> mats_,  not really. :) i found a .deb that works. but it may not work for everyone.
[22:36] <scguy318> Light: that may be the possibility
[22:36] <ShiftyPowers> anyone know how to solve this EDID issue with nviida? http://www.pastebin.ca/867756
[22:36] <daedra> Dr_willis_: and what if you can't start up X for some reason?
[22:36] <Light> I'm suppose to get grub onto sda?
[22:36] <Dr_willis_> mats_,  the 2nd link the bot gives for !flash has a link to some testing debs.
[22:36] <larryone> so between partition /dev/sda3 and partition /dev/sda5 in goes ubuntu and swap
[22:36] <mats_> .deb?
[22:36] <ikonia> ShiftyPowers: edid is monitor issues, not nvidia issues normally
[22:36] <brobostigon> good evening
[22:36] <ikonia> ShiftyPowers: a lot of kit announces rubbish edid info
[22:36] <Seveas> hello brobostigon
[22:36] <larryone> there's no /dev/sda4 listed here, is that a problem (i'm running the ubuntu install prog)
[22:36] <Light> scguy318: I'm suppose to write grub onto sda?
[22:36] <Dr_willis_> daedra,   what does X have to do with the framebuffer? I disable the framebuffer on the console. If i cant get  X going.. I fix it. :P
[22:36] <ShiftyPowers> ikonia, i get that error about EDID being invalid, i'm trying desperately to solve it
[22:36] <Dr_willis_> mats_,  yes. :)
[22:37] <Dr_willis_> !flash
[22:37] <daedra> Dr_willis_: how do you fix it!
[22:37] <mats_> whats a deb
[22:37] <ikonia> ShiftyPowers: you'll porbably have to set the info manually if edid info is rubbish
[22:37] <ShiftyPowers> everything worked great, I installed a new 8800gt and the latest nvidia driver and now i'm stuck at 640x480
[22:37] <Seveas> Dr_willis_, X can use a framebuffer driver if you feel like it :)
[22:37] <ikonia> mats_: an ubuntu package
[22:37] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  i  edit the xorg.conf or whatever as needed.
[22:37] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[22:37] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[22:37] <mats_> ok
[22:37] <Dr_willis_> Seveas,  yea.. but that never took off.
[22:37] <ShiftyPowers> ikonia, any docs on how to do that?
[22:37] <daedra> Dr_willis_: using a live distro?
[22:37] <Light> scguy318: I'm suppose to put grub onto sda? And not sdb?
[22:37] <bascule> ShiftyPowers: there is sime nvidia option for xorg.conf to tell it to ignore it, see nvidia docs
[22:37] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  been there, done that.
[22:37] <thrice> Anybody know about a .mvrb to xvid converter?
[22:37] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  or the recovery mode. or live cd's
[22:37] <ikonia> ShiftyPowers: you'll have to set info like hsncy and vsync and 1280x800 say in xorg.conf manually, or use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and enter the info manually
[22:37] <CHOWNER> 640x480 ? bios up to date on motherboard?
[22:37] <daedra> Dr_willis_: the point I am getting at, is if you can't get into X, you can simply get into tty1 and fix it from console
[22:38] <CrazyWulf> Where do my minimized apps keep going?
[22:38] <ikonia> CHOWNER: bios ? it's a video card
[22:38] <daedra> Dr_willis_: MUCH easier than faffing about with livecds
[22:38] <Seveas> CrazyWulf, the bottom bar on the screen unless you deleted the window list
[22:38] <fotofl0> what do i use to install perldoc?
[22:38] <fotofl0> apt-get?
[22:38] <ikonia> fotofl0: synaptic
[22:38] <larryone> the ubtuntu installer has listed /dev/sda1, 2, 3, 5   how do I tell if there's a partition /dev/sda4 that might have data on it?
[22:38] <Dr_willis_> daedra,    and what does this have to do with the framebuffer?  i gues sive totally missed the actual problem.
[22:38] <ikonia> fotofl0: find the package
[22:38] <Seveas> fotofl0, apt-get install perldoc would do the trick
[22:38] <buffdaemon> hello guys which package should i install so that i can use stdio.h  in ubuntu
[22:38] <Seveas> buffdaemon, libc6-dev
[22:38] <ikonia> larryone: partition 4 won't exist because partition 5 is your extended partition
[22:38] <daedra> Dr_willis_: well, just hit CTRL+ALT+F1
[22:38] <buffdaemon> thanks buddy
[22:38] <Seveas> buffdaemon, you'll likely want build-essential as well
[22:39] <Cpudan80> buffdaemon: build-essential
[22:39] <buffdaemon> ok
[22:39] <NET||abuse> mwe, sorry you responded and i had stepped away for a moment.

[22:39] <buffdaemon> thanks a lot
[22:39] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  yes that takes you to the console.. so? :)
[22:39] <fotofl0> Seveas: didnt work
[22:39] <bascule> larryone: there isn't, or sda4 is extended containing logical sda5
[22:39] <larryone> ikonia, does that mean I can creats a 4th partition after no3?
[22:39] <CrazyWulf> Just did a clean install..... Haven't changed anything except updates
[22:39] <CrazyWulf> Hmm
[22:39] <daedra> Dr_willis_: I can't get there in Gutsy
[22:39] <larryone> aaa
[22:39] <fotofl0> perl-doc
[22:39] <NET||abuse> mwe, doesn't load the usb stick but i get these messages http://www.pastebin.org/16377
[22:39] <ikonia> larryone: no - don't worry about it, let the installer deal with it
[22:39] <CrazyWulf> So how do I get it back?
[22:39] <larryone> ok
[22:39] <Light> Wait, I'm not sure anymore, do I put grub onto windows? Or Ubuntu?
[22:39] <fotofl0> sweet
[22:39] <daedra> doing CTRL+ALT+F1 in Gutsy gives me a black screen
[22:39] <fotofl0> just downloaded 12 mb
[22:39] <ikonia> Light: grub goes on your BOOT disk
[22:39] <nicoleamychung> hello
[22:39] <fotofl0> err 7 mb
[22:39] <nicoleamychung> i'm new to ubuntu
[22:39] <ikonia> Light: regardless of anything being on it
[22:39] <TrichomeKid> Okay so I used the alternative install to get ubuntu on my machine. BUT when its loading the desktop, the monitor flickers and it goes back to login
[22:39] <Seveas> hello nicoleamychung
[22:39] <Light> Which, is on my ubuntu, which I tried, which doesn't work.
[22:39] <daedra> Dr_willis_: no prompt, no nothing
[22:39] <TrichomeKid> whats the problem?
[22:39] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  its HIGHLY likely the 'framebuffer' being enabled by default is conflicting with the X video drivers, or some other  quirk. Thus i normally disable the framebuffer on the console. by using the 'nofb' option.

[22:40] <fotofl0> Fetched 7208kB in 10s (692kB/s)
[22:40] <Light> ikonia: I've tried that though, it still doesn't work.
[22:40] <daedra> Dr_willis_: oh ok...
[22:40] <daedra> Dr_willis_: I'll try that lol
[22:40] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  i feel that the framebuffer should be disabled by default. I see proberly a dozen identical problems to yours in here a week.
[22:40] <flub> hi, the 7.10 installer crashed on me when it was repartitioning the drive.  my guess is that it removed swap while in use, restarting and manually doing swapoff -a before the install worked.  is this a known issue or should a bug be reported?
[22:41] <Dr_willis_> its not like its used much. :)
[22:41] <Seveas> Dr_willis_, hear, hear!
[22:41] <fotofl0> another question: my terminal has some random chinese looking chars in it when i read documentation
[22:41] <CrazyWulf> How do I get back the window list?
[22:41] <bascule> Dr_willis_: I thought framebuffer was disabled?
[22:41] <fotofl0> probably setup wrong?
[22:41] <daedra> Dr_willis_: Do I just enter nofb in gnome-terminal and tty1 will work again?
[22:41] <fotofl0> (from ssh)
[22:41] <Dr_willis_> bascule,  it wasent last clean install of gutsy i did.
[22:41] <Seveas> CrazyWulf, rightclick on the bottom panel, select add to panel. In the window that appears, pick the window list
[22:41] <nicoleamychung> hello
[22:41] <Seveas> hello nicoleamychung
[22:41] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  No.. You hae to give the nofb option to the kernel when you boot. Eithe by editing the /boot/grub/menu.lst or editing the speciifc boot line from the grub menu
[22:41] <bascule> Dr_willis_: if you use vesa for the fb all is usually well, it's if it uses card specific modules that probs occur
[22:42] <bjames> does anyone know how to mount a pfs.img file?  this is part of my router firmware, file does not give any useful information, so I'm not holding any high hopes
[22:42] <nicoleamychung> are you guys computer
[22:42] <Cpudan80> Oh lord here it goes
[22:42] <Dr_willis_> bascule,  yep. Ive seen way too many cases of my cards messing up the consoles.
[22:42] <daedra> Dr_willis_: I'll try that then
[22:42] <nicoleamychung> gtg bye
[22:42] <Cpudan80> Seveas: Does the bot have a be serious factoid ?
[22:42] <Seveas> bjames, there are some tools that can convert .img to .iso
[22:42] <Seveas> Cpudan80, yes
[22:42] <bascule> bjames: it's not mountable if it's firmware, just a file
[22:42] <bjames> Seveas: are they not just for iso9660 format?
[22:43] <bascule> bjames: like an mp3 isn;t mountable
[22:43] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  # defoptions=quiet nosplash nofb      is my line in /boot/grub/menu.lst   - after editing it run 'sudo update-grub'
[22:43] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  then reboot.
[22:43] <bjames> bascule: I guess I have to do it manually then
[22:43] <daedra> Dr_willis_: tanks
[22:43] <guidov> hey, i just tried installing ubuntu server, tried burning 3 cd's but the installation keeps telling me the cdrom is corrupt (wrong md5 hashes). is this a common problem? i am sure the cd's are correct
[22:43] <visof> how can i open "take screen shots "program from terminal
[22:43] <visof> ?
[22:43] <bascule> bjames: the router should ahve a browse dialog so you can point it to the file
[22:44] <Dr_willis_> guidov,  try them on a different machine? its possible the cd/dvd drive is flakey.
[22:44] <Seveas> guidov, did you check the md5sum of the iso?
[22:44] <daedra> Dr_willis_: I think the wiki should be updated to the nofb edit
[22:44] <Seveas> visof, gnome-screenshot
[22:44] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  go for it. :)
[22:44] <redguy> mats_: I guess so
[22:44] <guidov> Dr_willis_: i tried 2 cdrom drives
[22:44] <CHOWNER> burn iso discs at 4x speed
[22:44] <guidov> Seveas: yeah md5's are all correct
[22:44] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  i made a wiki page the other day  for the fuse smb stuff.
[22:44] <bjames> bascule: no, I think you misunderstand - this is not a binary blob that the router expects to upload to replace the old firmware
[22:44]  * bascule agrees with CHOWNER 
[22:44] <Seveas> guidov, try lower speed burning
[22:44] <daedra> Dr_willis_: here goes!
[22:44] <makers_mark> how can i change the system load screen?
[22:44] <bascule> bjames: what is it then?
[22:45] <Hesham> Help Please!! i want to upgrade my ubuntu 7.04 to the new one 7.10. i have the latest version on a cd how can i upgrade from cd?
[22:45] <bjames> bascule: I have extracted the original files from the binary using a mix of dd and zip -F (fix)
[22:45] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  make a page. then i will check it out and help if ya want.
[22:45] <cizarr> anyone know how could i restore my bottom bar(where the opened applications bars) in ubuntu please?
[22:45] <Seveas> Hesham, you can't
[22:45] <bjames> and I want to further inspect them
[22:45] <guidov> Seveas: ok will try that.
[22:45] <fotofl0>  open(MEMORY,¡¯>¡¯, \$var)
[22:45] <riotkittie> ah, the sweet sweet smell of burning power supply unit :\
[22:45] <unop> !upgrade
[22:45] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[22:45] <bascule> bjames: why?
[22:45] <guidov> i can hardly believe my system is corrupt because i ran another distribution on it for a long time without problems
[22:45] <Hesham> Seveas so what should i do? re-install but am afraid to put the new system on another place not the one which the older version is in
[22:45] <bjames> bascule: I want to see if there is any chance of reverce engineering it
[22:46] <bjames> bascule: at least to a point
[22:46] <solexious> Hello all, Can I use ubuntu server as a replacement for my router? I have all my network on a gigabit switch, only a network connection from my modem goes to my current router and a connection from that to my switch.
[22:46] <unop> Hesham, is your linux box connected upto the internet?
[22:46] <bascule> bjames: i see, hexedit it is then
[22:46] <bjames> I have already found traces of what I think is GPL code
[22:46] <bjames> yes, I've been using hexedit
[22:46] <bjames> ghex2 actually
[22:46] <Seveas> !upgrade | hesham
[22:46] <ubotu> hesham: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[22:46] <CHOWNER> bjames : get a linksys with linux on it
[22:46] <Hesham> unop yeah, and am in the " keyboard layout "
[22:46] <Seveas> solexious, yes
[22:46] <daedra> Dr_willis_: thanks
[22:46] <unop> solexious, sure
[22:46] <bjames> CHOWNER: I'd like a port of OpenWRT for my router
[22:47] <bjames> rather than but a new one
[22:47] <larryone> the partitioner refuses to rezise my windows! how do I fix this?
[22:47] <unop> Hesham, well, you'll have to boot back up into 7.04 and do an upgrade -- the CD just isnt capable of providing that
[22:47] <bascule> larryone: defrag windows in windows
[22:47] <makers_mark> how can i change the system load screen?
[22:47] <solexious> What should I search for? I know I need dhcp but not sure what else to run port farwading etc
[22:47] <bascule> !splash | makers_mark
[22:47] <ubotu> makers_mark: To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[22:47] <bjames> ideally I want a router that I can ssh into from anywhere in the world, then ping my server with a (magic) Wake-on-lan packet to access that remotely from anywhere
[22:47] <bjames> then turn it off again
[22:47] <Cpudan80> bjames: DD-WRT can do all that
[22:47] <Seveas> bjames, look for knock
[22:47] <Seveas> bjames, look for knockd
[22:48] <TrichomeKid> Has anyone had problems with the desktop not loading?
[22:48] <bjames> Cpudan80: OpenWRT is a better idea
[22:48] <bjames> Seveas: will do
[22:48] <Cpudan80> bjames: Why? They work pretty much the same
[22:48] <bjames> DD-WRT isn't open is it?
[22:48] <unop> solexious, iptables (already build in) provides firewalling and port forwarding, dhcpd and bind will be needed atop it to provide ip addressing and name resolution
[22:48] <magnetron> Cpudan80: dd-wrt doesn'n honor the GPL
[22:48] <Cpudan80> bjames: It's free but not open source
[22:48] <Seveas> solexious, firestarter can do the basic connection sharing functions.
[22:48] <Cpudan80> Oh lord here it goes
[22:49] <Cpudan80> Anyway - that's not on topic
[22:49] <solexious> thank you both, will search for that
[22:49] <Hesham> unop so i can't use my cd, i just have to download the 770mb updates?
[22:49] <makers_mark> thanks bascule
[22:49] <scguy318> magnetron: DD-WRT is licensed under the GPL
[22:49] <unop> Seveas, I think he has the ubuntu server installed -- firestarter would be overkill there, no?
[22:49] <cubexombi> umm quick question, my google fu is weak and I need to add the radeonfb module at boot, kinda crappy not having any video untill X starts
[22:49] <scguy318> magnetron: unless I'm reading the information incorrectly?
[22:49] <Seveas> solexious, if you feel like reading manuals, grab an iptables intro and you'll learn to setup a proper SOHO firewall/routing thing
[22:49] <magnetron> scguy318: but they don't release the source code for the binary files
[22:49] <Seveas> cubexombi, echo radeonfb | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
[22:50] <unop> Hesham, well, it depends -- it could be more or less that amount yes .. and i'm afraid that is what you have to do
[22:50] <cubexombi> where should I add it? /etc modules or somewhere else
[22:50] <cubexombi> seveas.. good enough thanks!
[22:50] <Hesham> thanks unop Seveas
[22:50] <eshear> php4-cli doesn't seem to exist for gutsy....is there a replacement package?  How do I figure that out?
[22:50] <Seveas> eshear, php5-cli
[22:50] <eshear> aha
[22:50] <bjames> Seveas: I don't understand exactly what knockd pages are telling me
[22:50] <Seveas> php4 is dead
[22:50] <scguy318> magnetron: which binaries? I'm browsing source right now
[22:50] <bjames> I don't think this solves my problem
[22:51] <eshear> i have a script that's php4 only right now...and no time to upgrade it
[22:51] <unop> Hesham, you could upgrade using the CD -- but that'd mean you'll need to backup all your configuration files and $HOME directory -- your mileage can vary
[22:51] <eshear> is there some kind of backports thing I can use?
[22:51] <unop> !backports
[22:51] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[22:51] <magnetron> scguy318: the firmware.
[22:51] <Seveas> bjames, knockd will tell your server to open ports if you know the secret knocks
[22:51] <eshear> heh, thanks
[22:51] <Seveas> bjames, just like your magic WOL packet would do
[22:51] <bjames> Seveas: I want my server to Wake-on-LAN
[22:51] <bjames> i.e. it will be off
[22:51] <Seveas> ah!
[22:51] <Seveas> well, then ignore me ;)
[22:51] <bjames> and the NIC will only listen to magic packets
[22:52] <bjames> which can only be sent on a local network as they are broadcast packets ;-)
[22:52] <unop> bjames, that's largely a BIOS thingy
[22:52] <Darkmystere> i know theres probally guides but can some 1 walk me through making a Bootable Windows XP disk?
[22:52] <Seveas> bjames, are they? I thought they were just link-layer packets and therefore local
[22:52] <Darkmystere> i need to repair my install but all i have is an old iso
[22:52] <magnetron> scguy318: http://xwrt.blogspot.com/2007/02/dd-wrt-continues-to-exploit-free-open.html
[22:52] <scguy318> magnetron: I see
[22:52] <unop> Darkmystere, as then guys in ##windows
[22:52] <Lifeisfunny> is there a command to post into the terminal to fix the totem movie player I can't get it to go into fullscreen properly.
[22:53] <Seveas> !windows | Darkmystere
[22:53] <ubotu> Darkmystere: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[22:53] <bjames> Seveas: as I understand it they are broadcast packets
[22:53] <Darkmystere> Err
[22:53] <Darkmystere> im trying to do it from Ubuntu
[22:53] <bjames> and can only be sent over local networks
[22:53] <Darkmystere> ..
[22:53]  * LjL thinks seveas has a factoid to revert
[22:53] <Seveas> LjL, :)
[22:53] <Seveas> LjL, it's tempting
[22:53] <mats_> Firestarter is now up and running
[22:53] <Darkmystere> Seaveas: Im trying to do it in Ubuntu not windows
[22:54] <mats_> beginning to like Linux
[22:54] <Seveas> bjames, you were right and I was not completely wrong
[22:54] <Seveas> "The Magic Packet is a broadcast frame, transmitted over port 0 (Historically the most common port used), or 7 or 9 (becoming the most common ports used). It can be sent over a variety of connectionless protocols (UDP, IPX) but UDP is most commonly used. The data that is contained in a Magic Packet is the defined constant as represented in hexadecimal: FF FF FF FF FF FF followed by sixteen repetitions of
[22:54] <Seveas> the target computer's MAC address, possibly followed by a four or six byte password."
[22:54] <larryone> I've gotten to the most difficult part of the install - what to name the new ubuntu host
[22:55] <Seveas> it does have the MAC address but not in the IP header :)
[22:55] <bjames> Seveas: that's the badger
[22:55] <Seveas> larryone, StarshipEnterprise
[22:55] <unop> larryone, name it "idunno" :)
[22:55] <Sep1> 1271 ppl O.o, its going to be a bit tricky to get answers i would like though all the clutter =P
[22:55] <Seveas> larryone, or: Vostok1
[22:55] <creature> Hello. I have some questions. First up: when I install something via synaptic that creates menu entries, it *should* run update-menus so that the non-Gnome window managers get updated menu files. Gutsy, it seems, does not do htis. How do I make it do this?
[22:55] <bjames> Seveas: I need to either get OpenWRT/DD-WRT/whatever onto my router, or get a new router with it on to do what I want
[22:55] <Darkmystere> Seavas: Lol nice me and my friend just made a Messanger that pings some 1s Ip and Directly talks to them that uses Encryption that wpa was soppose to work it confiurms the key without acctually sending it you have to message around 50-60 lines for wireshark to even pick it up
[22:55] <kgx> hey is if i need http://localhost/* to point to http://www.xya.com/* in apache, how can i do this? i don't want to use hosts file because that will spoil other stuff (like mysql, etc)
[22:55] <larryone> it is christened laplap! long live the laplap!
[22:55] <ArthurArchnix> larryone: Whatever you like. But you'll see it a lot, so don't make it something you don't want to see everyday.
[22:56] <TrichomeKid> So I had problems opening my desktop on v7.10 - I used failsafe mode and it loaded.  What can I do to possibly fix the problem?
[22:56] <redguy> kgx: use apaches redirect directive?
[22:57] <Darkmystere> Seavas: It wors entirely on linux can be used in Windows also And It takes up less memory and bandswith than Any other messanger because it doesnt update until you do somthing like send a essanger
[22:57] <Seveas> bjames, I have a spare cisco monster for you ;)
[22:57] <Sep1> redguy: Is that releated to proxypass?
[22:57] <bjames> argh - a rackmount router?
[22:57] <jarle> what is the name of the type of graphic console ubuntu uses at boot-time. Need to do some googling, but can't remember what to google for?
[22:57] <bjames> :-D
[22:57] <kantor> hi, can somebody tell me please some mp3 player, DAP device mangers for Linux ?
[22:57] <Seveas> bjames, of course :)
[22:58] <bascule> jarle: boot splash?
[22:58] <bjames> lol, thanks for the offer
[22:58] <creature> jarle: It's a framebuffer.
[22:58] <Lifeisfunny> larryone, how about NewBuCity
[22:58] <robeh> can someone please step me though the process on creating ssh keys so i can shh without a password
[22:58] <jarle> bascule: before the splash
[22:58] <unop> jarle, usplash?
[22:58] <Cpudan80> Darkmystere: You want to use a program called NLite -- it might work under Wine, might not
[22:58] <Seveas> robeh, ssh-keygen
[22:58] <jarle> creature: that's it, thnx :)
[22:58] <robeh> i know i just cant get it working
[22:58] <bjames> the idea is to have my fileserver accessible remotely, but only leave something low power on
[22:58] <Darkmystere> Cpudan80: Is it an iso burner?
[22:58] <creature> robeh: I used http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html to do it just this afternoon.
[22:58] <bascule> jarle: the ubuntu thing with the orange bar is the boot splash
[22:58] <robeh> thank you
[22:58] <Darkmystere> Cpudan80: Should i risk it and try and use magic iso Via wine it worked to convert 2 isos
[22:58] <bjames> although if you have a spare router I'm sure you can find a place for it on fleaBay
[22:58] <bjames> ;-)
[22:58] <bascule> jarle: other than that you are looking for a grub splash
[22:58] <Seveas> robeh, when it asks type, pick dsa, when it ask size pick 1024. Hit enter when it asks for a filename
[22:58] <Cpudan80> Darkion: You wanted to make a windows XP ISO bootable right? That's what NLite does
[22:59] <pg> After I resume from sleep, I can't play sound files, though the system beep works.  Sound works again after I remove and reinsert the sound driver module.  Any help?
[22:59] <pg> OK
[22:59] <Cpudan80> Darkion: If you just want to burn an ISO, then you should use GnomeBaker or some such thing
[22:59] <jarle> creature: The framebuffer is all garbled at boot on my laptop, I guess what people call boot splash is actually a fb?
[23:00] <robeh> do i do the ssh-keygen on the host im connecting to or the one im connecting with
[23:00] <bjames> Seveas: I'm currently in "discussion" with Belkin (soon to also be Philips and SMC who make compatible firmware) to release GPL code
[23:00] <creature> jarle: The bootsplash sits on top of the framebuffer layer, AFAIK.
[23:00] <bjames> I've found references to "linux" "gnu" and "apache" in their firmware
[23:00] <mats_> im a firestarter
[23:00] <creature> The framebuffer is the bit of the kernel that lets you do something other than 80x24.
[23:00] <Seveas> bjames, nice
[23:00] <jarle> bascule: I'm talking about the boot progress bar (below the unbuntu logo) Actually I can't see it at all...
[23:01] <creature> Which includes running a terminal at a higher esrolution, or shwoing pictures.
[23:01] <mats_> what is debian?
[23:01] <unop> Seveas, would you know of a utility that'd allow you to place an image on the desktop (apart from the wallpaper) -- like osd_cat draws text on screen?
[23:01] <bascule> !debian
[23:01] <ubotu> Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[23:01] <Lifeisfunny> Would someone know a command to post into a terminal to fix the totem movie player?   I can't get it to go into fullscreen properly.  It goes into fullscreen but when the frame is suppose to fade, it doesn't.
[23:02] <jarle> creature: any idea where I should look to change to boot-splash?
[23:02] <Seveas> unop, display, from the imagamagick suite
[23:02] <unop> !usplash
[23:02] <ubotu> To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[23:02] <kgx> redguy: well i don't really want it to redirect. there's some propriety software on the server that can't use ssl, so i have to make the software request http://localhost and apache should retrieve https://xyz.com when it http://localhost is requested. is it possible?
[23:02] <unop> Seveas, hmm, ok, didn't know it could do that--  thanks -- i'll have a look
[23:03] <creature> jarle: You can't change *to* boot-splash, it sits on top of the the framebuffer. ubotu's links should help you configure it, though.
[23:03] <chalcedony> what do people use to transcribe things in Linux?
[23:03] <creature> jarle: If you're having trouble booting, you can turn it off.
[23:03] <todd_> anyone know how to delete all files older then a specified ammount of time (30 days)?
[23:03] <debatem1> hey all, my company just allocated a small budget for funding open source projects. *besides ubuntu* where do you think we should point it to do the most good?
[23:04] <jarle> creature: I guess I have to either change screen resolution of the boot-splash, or turn it of...
[23:04] <Aloha_> debatem1: freenode
[23:04] <creature> todd_: Use the find command to find the files, and run them through rm.
[23:04] <Hesham> gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" this can't work to upgrade from cd?
[23:04] <debatem1> Aloha_: can't believe I didnt think of that. any other suggestions?
[23:05] <Aloha_> debatem1: me ;)
[23:05] <creature> jarle: You'll need to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to change the options, then run sudo update-grub to write your changes tot heb oot sector.
[23:05] <debatem1> aloha_: lol
[23:06] <jarle> creature: thnx!
[23:06] <creature> jarle: No problem. Good luck.
[23:07] <debatem1> we have a small budget for funding open source projects. *besides ubuntu* where do you guys think we should point it to do the most good?
[23:07] <Seveas> debatem1, gnome or Xorg
[23:07] <DiseasedLove> Question: When using cfdisk, my local hardrive reports no partitions when in reality there is 1 NTFS, 1 ext3, and 1 swap partition. When using gparted, it hangs on "Looking for Devices" or something similar. Can anyone solve my problem?
[23:07] <Aloha> debatem1: xfce
[23:07] <robeh> thanks creature works great
[23:07] <Hesham> i need to upgrade my system 7.04 to 7.10 from cd obtained from ubuntu. gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" this can't work to upgrade from cd?
[23:08] <bascule> debatem1: gnash
[23:08] <creature> DiseasedLove: I've found gparted is *really* slow to display partitions, so it might not actually be hung.
[23:08] <redguy> kgx: not sure. Perhaps look at mod_proxy_http ?
[23:08] <debatem1> seveas, aloha: do you think its smarter to donate to larger or smaller projects? i wasnt sure
[23:08] <lukasz> Hey people i just reinstalled Ubuntu :)
[23:08] <debatem1> bascule: good suggestion! thank you
[23:08] <Aloha> debatem1: its a donation, donate to your favorite
[23:08] <ArthurArchnix> DiseasedLove: Have you tried starting gparted with the -nofloppy option?
[23:09] <^Zew^> hello
[23:09] <creature> debatem1: Perhaps a less established project. Maybe a sound app? Sound editing wasn't much good on Linux last itme I checked.
[23:09] <debatem1> aloha: I just don't really know who needs the cash the most, you know?
[23:09] <Seveas> debatem1, depends on your preferences
[23:09] <DiseasedLove> creature: Would you know why the partitions arent showing up? I used PartionMagic as well and it reported that the entire disk was BAD, but I this is the one I boot into.
[23:09] <jerbear> i'm looking at my /etc/hosts file and there's a line with 127.0.1.1 with my machine's name... what is the purpose of this? shouldn't it be on the line with "127.0.0.1"?
[23:09] <debatem1> creature: hmm
[23:09] <Aloha> debatem1: they all do
[23:10] <Seveas> debatem1, for smaller projects your donations can make a huge difference, but the larger projects are often more important for the success of linux
[23:11] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: Wikimedia
[23:11] <jarle> any idea how many colours the ubuntu boot splash needs in the framebuffer?
[23:11] <debatem1> seveas: i guess maybe I just have more sympathy for the small projects lol. anything spring to mind?
[23:11]  * Rasputin waves to the people
[23:11] <Seveas> jarle, 256
[23:11] <jarle> Seveas: thnx!
[23:11] <Seveas> debatem1, gnash was a good suggestion
[23:11] <CelsoLeite> .
[23:11] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: yes, Gnash
[23:11] <Seveas> debatem1, or telepathy
[23:12] <syntaxerror55> but still, consider Wikipedia
[23:12] <Seveas> or pulseaudio
[23:12] <mcphail> debatem1: gnupdf might be worth it
[23:12] <nirc> can you somehow convert code written in vb.net 2005 for windows to something linux can run?
[23:12] <creature> DiseasedLove: No idea. It's possible there's something funky with your partition table that's weird enough to throw partitioners off but not weird enough to stop you booting.
[23:12] <fitztrev> Is there a program to edit *.ai vector graphic files??
[23:12] <syntaxerror55> mcphail: we have enough PDF editors
[23:12] <creature> Or it could be something entirely different. You're running the partitioners as root, right?
[23:12] <creature> Or, via sudo, at least.
[23:12] <DiseasedLove> Yes, I'm root.
[23:12] <mcphail> syntaxerror55: not any which meet ISO standards
[23:12] <debatem1> seveas: gnash is at the top of the list now, im looking at telepathy
[23:13] <matisse> hi
[23:13] <syntaxerror55> mcphail: sorry, I meant readers. GnuPDF edits them?
[23:13] <matisse> how do I delete stuff from the bash cache ?
[23:13] <bascule> debatem1: you could also give server/bandwidth to projects, freenode for example
[23:13] <creature> matisse: Do you mean the command history?
[23:13] <Seveas> matisse, rm ~/.bash_history
[23:13] <basy> Are there any installers for man pages? I need to install man pages for develop with openGL, i have mangl.tar.Z and there are *html and *3gl manuals, any idea how to install that?, pliz
[23:13] <matisse> creature: yes
[23:13] <mcphail> syntaxerror55: the libraries will allow creation and display
[23:13] <matisse> Seveas: that would be to much :-)
[23:13] <cmagnon> DiseasedLove : even if you are the root user use sudo any way
[23:13] <creature> matisse: Either remove or edit ~/.bash_history.
[23:14] <debatem1> bascule: yeah, thats being worked on.
[23:14] <matisse> thx both of you :-)
[23:14] <syntaxerror55> mcphail: I retract my previous statement
[23:14] <debatem1> Ok, thank you all, these look pretty promising
[23:14] <mcphail> syntaxerror55: :)
[23:15] <DiseasedLove> creature, cmagnon: Thanks for you help, I'll try a partition table fix
[23:15] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: oh, also, check out the Uira project. It's for flash creating in Linux
[23:15] <pieisgood> so, I have a bluetooth device that can detect certain devices (like my phone) but not others (like my 360 controller) why is this and how can I fix that?
[23:16] <creature> debatem1: Can we have some more information about who you are? I mean, it might be best to give back to the things you use most often. So if you're a web developer something like apache or lighttpd, if you're a C coder something like GNU (for gcc), etc.
[23:16] <pg> After I resume from sleep, I can't play sound files, though the system beep works.  Sound works again after I remove and reinsert the sound driver module.  Same thing with the ethernet card.  Any help?
[23:16] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: thank you, that looks very interesting
[23:17] <debatem1> creature: we're a consulting firm that looks to move small businesses away from proprietary software and towards F/OSS in South Carolina, USA
[23:17] <bascule> pg: that is a deep problem, submit a bug on launchpad, think it's unlikely there is a workaround for such an issue
[23:17] <daedra>  Dr_willis_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub
[23:17] <xomp_> can someone help me with boot modifiers? I need to find out which modifier will allow Gutsy Live CD to boot on my machine :(
[23:17] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: then Uira. It's the only one of it's kind.
[23:17] <daedra> Dr_willis_: I _may_ edit the wiki page on framebuffers but it appears to have my problem already covered
[23:17] <xomp_> is there a complete list of available boot modifiers maybe?
[23:17] <creature> debatem1: Maybe you could sponsor the development of a device driver for something that's unsupported/barely working.
[23:17] <xomp_> I'll have to try them one at a time, process of elimination type deal :)
[23:18] <daedra> Dr_willis_: is vga=normal the same as nofb?
[23:18] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: yeah, that one's looking quite promising
[23:18] <debatem1> creature: was thinking about that- blackberries come to mind
[23:18] <spykid33> hi
[23:18] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  i dont think so. You can use vga=ask and test out different modes.
[23:19] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  ive seen no way to 'tell' the installer to not use the framebuffer option.
[23:19] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  i always edit the menu.lst afterwards
[23:19] <daedra> Dr_willis_: yeah I'll add the nofb kernel option to an example
[23:19] <daedra> and paste it in the wiki
[23:19] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  that page says  = normal is the same as nofb :)
[23:19] <daedra> yeah...
[23:19] <daedra> just checking
[23:20] <creature> debatem1: Blackberries, ipods, webcams, printers...
[23:20] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: urg. uira's shut down.
[23:20] <Dr_willis_> that wiki page needs a littel work daedra  :)
[23:20] <pg> bascule: thanks!
[23:20] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: really? They've come such a long way since I last checked them in '06 ;;
[23:21] <larryone> is there a nice grub editor installed by default??? I want grub to be pretty, and need to change the timeouts...
[23:21] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: oh. It's a shame
[23:21] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: well, according to wikipedia- the site says 'under heavy construction'
[23:21] <bascule> larryone: timeouts are easy, adding a picture less so
[23:21] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  ive never seen a 'framebuffer' referance in any bios's ive expored either like the page metnions.
[23:21] <larryone> bascule, is there no good grub editor?
[23:21] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: nah, they shut down due to a french law.
[23:22] <bascule> larryone: no, it's all test-editor based afaik
[23:22] <bascule> text-editor
[23:22] <larryone> editing menu.lst is easy, but why is therre no gui editor?
[23:22] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: government: cause none of us is as stupid as all of us
[23:22] <mwe> larryone: because nobody cared to make one
[23:22] <larryone> owch
[23:22] <CelsoLeite> Channel of ubuntu brasil, anybody knows?
[23:22] <creature> larryone: You can get a skin/theme for the grub splash screen so it's pretty on boot-up, but it doesn't tend to hang around long enough on my machine to warrant it...
[23:22] <pieisgood> hello ubuntu, any of you guys use a wireless 360 controller with your ubuntu installation (gutsy 7.10)?
[23:23] <PurpZeY> !br
[23:23] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[23:23] <CelsoLeite> !br
[23:23] <mwe> larryone: given the simplicity of the file it's not really needed
[23:23] <larryone> ok
[23:23] <schiste> Hey folks, I'm currently trying to help a friend of mine just installing UBuntu (I'm on kubuntu). He has a vaio and he can't either set the laptop to "economy" or, better, control the fans speed. Does anyone know how to do that?
[23:23] <CelsoLeite> thks!
[23:23] <CelsoLeite> =P
[23:23] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: I checked them only a week ago and saw they had a UI, and was prepared for a real version so I could erase my Windows partition that only is there because of Flash 8. This is really bothering me. :(
[23:23] <PurpZeY> schiste: Think you need to install the Sony acpis....I had a similar issue.
[23:23] <creature> When I install something via synaptic that creates menu entries, it *should* run update-menus so that the non-Gnome window managers get updated menu files. Gutsy, it seems, does not do this. How do I make it do this?
[23:24] <schiste> PurpZeY what's the package name ?
[23:24] <mwe> creature: the kde menus are updated here
[23:24] <daedra> Dr_willis_: made the wiki change
[23:24] <bascule> !info kmilo
[23:24] <ubotu> kmilo (source: kdeutils): laptop special keys support for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 66 kB, installed size 240 kB
[23:24] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: yeah, we have a client where we were able to free them from all but one windows install, but they had to have the one for flash dev. i was really hoping uira was going to work out
[23:24] <daedra> !framebuffer
[23:24] <ubotu> Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub
[23:24] <creature> mwe: Well, I'm using Fluxbox, so that's nice to know but not a lot of use to me. :)
[23:25] <mwe> creature: I don't think fluxbox is supposed to display the debian menu entries
[23:25] <riotkittie> creature: open a term and type sudo update-menus
[23:26] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: anyway, I hope you find someone to donate to. I can't honestly say the Ubuntu project is in big need of donations.
[23:26] <creature> riotkittie: Yes, that's how I do it by hand. As I say, I want it to do it automatically after I install some softwrae.
[23:26] <PurpZeY> schiste: I don't know that it's a package. . .I'm not sure, I actually just used a script to control brightness when battery power is being used...It came off the forums.
[23:26] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: the absence of a 'donate' button on the page kind of clued us in on that one lol
[23:26] <wwalker> what is the proper way to set something to start automatically at login (like pidgin)
[23:26] <mwe> creature: are you sure it's supposed to display the menu-xdg entries?
[23:27] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: lol
[23:27] <creature> mwe: I don't know. I'm presuming so.
[23:27] <PurpZeY> wwalker: Sys --> Pref --> Session
[23:27] <creature> mwe: As long as I get a menu that's aligned with what I've got installed, I don't much mind where it's sourced from.
[23:28] <christian_> hello
[23:28] <Achoth_> Yo
[23:28] <mwe> creature: my point is I'm not sure it's supposed to update :) some wms have a debian submenu that shows those
[23:28] <mcphail> debatem1: your company could help people move away from Acrobat (hence windows) by supporting gnupdf. Linux does not support pdf standards properly. But we should maybe move this to offtopic
[23:28] <creature> mwe: I'm pretty sure it is meant to update.
[23:29] <mwe> maybe
[23:29] <creature> mwe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox#head-bbb787a59ce5927dd5a6c38d0732e3feb341b115 suggests so.
[23:29] <creature> "That include thing pulls in the file generated in /etc/fluxbox. Its generated by the Debian Menu package (for which you need the menu package) and if thats installed before Fluxbox is, it will automatically be put in the menufile. "
[23:30] <riotkittie> flux under gutsy is wonky though
[23:30]  * Pelo notices InspectorCluseau  and decides to hide all the brakables 
[23:30] <wwalker> PurpZeY: thanks
[23:30] <debatem1> mcphail: honestly, the prevalence of pdf support in linux has reached a point where we don't particularly worry about it. i suppose thats a bad way to justify your spending- no cash for you, you were too successful- but i imagine that is probably how this is going to go
[23:30] <creature> riotkittie: I would like to unwonk it.
[23:30] <_hakon_> how do i navigate to a directory in terminal?
[23:30] <volk> cd
[23:31] <Pelo> _hakon_, cd /whereever
[23:31] <Darkmystere> Is there a way to Format My windows Partion Back to NTFS  So i can Reinstall Windows? Im keeping Ubuntu but i want to format windows so ubuntu will get more room
[23:31] <matisse> How do I edit the size of the bash command history ?
[23:31] <pieisgood> So... do any of you use an xbox controller with ubuntu?
[23:31] <Pelo> _hakon_,  you may find this informative  http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[23:31] <daedra> mmm pieisgood
[23:31] <un0p> matisse, the %HISTSIZE variable
[23:31] <un0p> sorry, $HISTSIZE
[23:32] <mwe> creature: it's a pretty long howto :) did you do all that?
[23:32] <pieisgood> daedre: that's nice... but seriously I'd like to use one with my computer
[23:32] <nonXero> greetings.
[23:33] <agsimeonov> Hello
[23:33] <creature> mwe: I didn't. I've got a pre-existing Fluxbox config in my home directory, so a lot of it was here already.
[23:33] <creature> I've just switched from Debian to Ubuntu, although the less said about that the better.
[23:33] <mwe> I see
[23:33] <DarthSOup> hello
[23:33] <un0p> mwe, I used menumaker to regenerate my fluxbox menu -- it seems to import pretty much anything and everything -- it might not be what you want tho
[23:33] <danand> un0p: add to /home/<USER>/.bashrc  export HISTSIZE=2000
[23:34] <cosmodad> creature: minority opinions are neglectable. :)
[23:34] <un0p> creature, let me guess -- debian packages are starting to get outdated? :)
[23:34] <un0p> danabad, aye
[23:34] <mwe> creature: well does the menu even get updated if you run the update-menus command manually?
[23:35] <un0p> mwe, yes by default, i think you can override that tho
[23:35] <creature> un0p: Two things, really. More updated software in Ubuntu, and having tried to get MythTV to work in Debian I decided that there had to be a better way, a way where not everything with the computer was a fight. I thought Ubuntu was that way.
[23:35] <jupiter> Hello, I have a problem with my wireless connection. I cant find a way to turn on the antenna of the laptop. when i press the button on the keyboard i just get an unknown keycode from dmesg. is there something i can do to turn it on?
[23:35] <_hakon_> so what exactly do i type to access desktop in terminall?
[23:35] <agsimeonov> MythTV does work in Ubuntu
[23:35] <creature> Then I spent 2 weeks triggering every single bloody bug in the alternative installer, bricking the PC a couple of times, and generally having to jump through just as many hoops as I would have with any other distro. But anyway. I now have a working, ish, distro.
[23:35] <bascule> !hotkeys
[23:35] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts
[23:35] <bascule> jupiter: ^
[23:35] <creature> mwe: Yes, it does get updated if I run the command myself.
[23:36] <un0p> creature, pretty much the same reason why i switched too
[23:36] <_hakon_> help!!!
[23:36] <mwe> creature: I see ...
[23:36] <soundray> jupiter: do you know what wireless chipset is used in your machine?
[23:36] <_hakon_> using 6.06
[23:36] <xomp_> could someone please assist me with installing Gutsy on my Dell Optiplex 320. I was able to pass on some modifiers to the LiveCD to boot and install it, now when I select Ubuntu from the Grub menu I'm left at a black screen with blinking cursor :(
[23:36] <Pelo> jupiter, try looking up the laptop's model in the forum maybe there is a recommendation there www.ubuntuforums.org or try general keywords to your problem if there is nothing specific about your model
[23:36] <PretoDuKaa> brasil
[23:36] <mwe> creature: I thought it was run automatically as well when installing something :|
[23:36] <schiste> Hey, does anyone knows what "modprobe snoy-laptop" do?
[23:37] <PretoDuKaa> ;quit
[23:37] <creature> mwe: I think it is meant to, but it does not.
[23:37] <Bilbo> quit
[23:37] <creature> schiste: It inserts the 'snoy-laptop' module into the kernel, although it's probably a type for 'sony'.
[23:37] <Pelo> schiste, load the module to run snoy-laptop , what ever that is
[23:37] <creature> typo, even.
[23:37] <Bilbo> :quit
[23:37] <ArthurArchnix> xomp hit Alt+F1, then login, then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:37] <larryone> I cant connect to network on my new installation
[23:37] <mwe> creature: I must admit I haven't been on flux for about two years but IIRC it did by then
[23:37] <Bilbo> ;quit
[23:38] <soundray> schiste: it loads the module named snoy-laptop.ko. There's a better chance of sony-laptop.ko existing, though
[23:38] <larryone> I set it up the same as on this laptop, but with differrent ip address
[23:38] <creature> Bilbo: You want /quit.
[23:38] <larryone> but it wont connect
[23:38] <ompaul> HI ALL - I AM ABOUT TO UNBAN A LOT OF NICKS PLEASE WAIT 10 - 15 seconds
[23:38] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I've tried that. Alt+F1 does nothing at the blinking cursor :(
[23:38] <masteroc> can anyone help me to patch my kernel for injection with the madwifi driver?
[23:38] <Pelo> !enter | larryone
[23:38] <ubotu> larryone: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[23:38] <mwe> creature: file a bug maybe, though it doesn't solve your problem right away
[23:38] <ompaul> There is going to be alot of scrolling
[23:38] <ArthurArchnix> xomp What about booting into recovery mode. Is that possible.
[23:38] <schiste> Thanks but I wanted to know what sony-laptop do ^_^"
[23:38] <schiste> Anyway I'm gonna try ^^
[23:38] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, recovery mode does the same black screen, blinking cursor bit :(
[23:38] <creature> mwe: Can I file a bug without having to set up a user account for anything?
[23:39] <soundray> schiste: are you on gutsy?
 it detects it as ipw2200
[23:39] <ompaul> Finished
[23:39]  * Pelo wonders why ompaul is so forgiving all of the sudden 
[23:39] <mwe> creature: you need to register but it's really fast
[23:39] <ompaul> Pelo, you are mistaken
[23:39] <Pelo> ompaul,  oh, it's just so you can ban them again ?
[23:39] <ompaul> no
[23:39] <bascule> ompaul: guess you don't use a bot ban with auto timeout then :)
[23:39] <mwe> creature: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu
[23:39] <schiste> soundray he is (I'm trying to fix a friend pc througn vnc :) )
[23:39] <ompaul> bascule, well we might but then again we might not
[23:39] <ArthurArchnix> xomp When booting, have you tried hitting 'e' on the normal boot option, and removing the 'splash' and 'quiet' options from the kernel boot line?
 it seems that there isnt a way to set a shortcut for the wireless antenna
[23:40] <pieisgood> So... I have a problem, can some one help me?
[23:40] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, not yet, let me try that :)
[23:40] <debatem1> i missed something
[23:40] <Pelo> pieisgood, we need to knwo the problem befor we can do something about it
[23:40] <soundray> schiste: if you install linux-doc-2.6.22, you can look it up in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.22/Documentation/sony-laptop.txt.gz -- alternatively, find that file on the web
 i have already tried that, but fujitsu siemens is not a very popular brand :)
[23:40] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, same thing :S it's not booting.
[23:41] <larryone> Hi, I have 2 very similar laptops, both with 7.10 installs, but only one will connect to my wireless network. can anyone help me?
[23:41] <Pelo> jupiter, , try doing a search for anthena or how ever it is spelled ,see what comes up
[23:41] <soundray> jupiter: the chipset supports key switching under Linux in principle -- it works here.
[23:41] <neeto> So I've heard from my underground sources that wine may or may not support DX10... is this true?
[23:41] <pieisgood> I have a wireless 360 controller and a USB bluetooth ... I would like to use the 360 controller with my computer, but after installing xpad360... the 360 controller isn't recognized by the USB bluetooth dongle

[23:42] <pieisgood> Are you kidding me?
[23:42] <masteroc> has anyone patched their kernel for injection with aircrack-ng?

[23:43] <mwe> creature: oh forget it. it's a bug that update-menus is not run after you install the menu package https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/menu/+bug/152768
[23:43] <Bo1> nmrader: mouse wheel
[23:43] <viv145> done it's intalles
[23:44] <creature> OK, another issue I have: If I use the gkrellmms plugin (a remote control for XMMS), when I start up xmms gkrellm hangs. It does not unhang when I close xmms.
[23:44] <nmradar> nothing happens
[23:44] <agsimeonov> nmradar: the scroll button on your mouse
 and you can use the button to turn on the antenna?
[23:44] <nmradar> nothing
[23:44] <the7thmagus> @piesgood: even Windows cannot run the wireless controller. use a wired
[23:44] <viv145> know me to configure it
[23:44] <agsimeonov> nmradar: How many Desktops do you have set?
[23:44] <pieisgood> Crap
[23:44] <Bo1> nmrader: have u got rotate cube plu gin enabled aswell as the desktop cube plugin?
[23:44] <creature> mwe: I was hoping there was a post-install-hook or similar for apt so I could just make it run the command after I've installed something. :|
[23:44] <ArthurArchnix> xomp Could be a problem with the grub setup. Maybe start up the live cd, mount the disk, post the output of cat /path/2mounted/disc/boot/grub/menu.lst and also of sudo fdisk -l
[23:45] <agsimeonov> nmradar: indeed you do have to enable rotate cube as well
[23:45] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I don't know how to mount the disk :( I'm a noob
[23:45] <nmradar> ah! I just enabled rotate cube as well....
[23:45] <nmradar> there we go!
[23:45] <the7thmagus> actually, I am wrong. Windows can use the wireless controller, but only with the use of a receiver dongle
[23:45] <danand> pieisgood: :-[
[23:45] <neeto> pieisgood: yeah, I was pissed when I found that out, make sure if you do get a wired controller, that it's a 'wired 360 controller FOR WINDOWS' otherwise, even the wired controller won't work
[23:45] <nmradar> that's much better. thanks!
[23:45] <mwe> creature: yeah. maybe there is
[23:45] <agsimeonov> nmradar: Compiz is sweet
[23:45] <soundray> jupiter: well, to be precise, it turns on and off the radio, not the antenna, which is a passive device
[23:46] <nmradar> yeah. definitely
[23:46] <ArthurArchnix> xomp the live cd may mount it automatically.  I'm not sure. You can open up nautilus and see if it has been.
[23:46] <nmradar> I love the wobbly windows
[23:46] <pieisgood> Neeto: thanks... I think i'll just go cry about this for a little while lol
[23:46] <ArthurArchnix> xomp are you on the live cd now?
[23:46] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, ok, I'm booting the live CD now, I have to pass on the boot modifier of "hpet=disable" in order for it to boot hehe
[23:46] <agsimeonov> nmradar: The thing I enjoy the most are the themes through Emerald
[23:46] <the7thmagus> I recently deleted an existing NTFS partition and replaced it with an ext3 partition. now fdisk -l returns empty (everything mounts fine though). how can I get it to list all my partitions?
[23:46] <neeto> haha pieisgood, yeah... leave it to microsoft to make everyone mad. No wonder we all switched.
[23:46] <Jack_Sparrow> masteroc: I thought that was already in the repos and didnt need anything special..
[23:46] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, nope, I'm on my laptop which also has Gutsy installed :)
[23:47] <soundray> the7thmagus: call it with sudo
[23:47] <mwe> creature: there is a DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs, so probably a DPkg::Post-Install-Pkgs as well
 ok, i stand corrected... but it seems i have to look for the problem somewhere else. Thanks
[23:47] <the7thmagus> @soundray: ah, good old sudo. thank you, it worked
[23:47] <Jack_Sparrow> xomp_: Where did you find that boot modifier?
[23:48] <nmradar> asimeonov: I've installed one theme so far, but I'm probably gonna change it. I don't really like it that much.... Do you have a good recommendation?
[23:48] <soundray> jupiter: if you have a not-so-uncommon laptop, you'll probably find a few helpful installation reports on tuxmobil.org
[23:48] <creature> Can I set up a password for sudo/root that's different to my user account password? If so, how?
[23:48] <masteroc> neeto: i am using an atheros chipset
[23:48] <neeto> has anyone gotten wallpapoz to work with xompiz?
[23:48] <xomp_> Jack_Sparrow, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/138305
[23:48] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[23:48] <masteroc> neeto: ive been looking and im really confused with what i have to do
[23:48] <xomp_> np
[23:48] <neeto> masteroc: atheros works native within aircrack, no?
[23:48] <xsfr> is there a package for  "boost ASIO" ?
[23:48] <soundray> creature: you can create an admin user and disable sudo for your present user
[23:48] <masteroc> neeto: no, you need the madwifi drivers
[23:48] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I'm in the live cd now, you say start up nautilus?
[23:48] <danand> creature: Apparently thats NOT recommended
[23:49] <creature> soundray: I like being able to type sudo whatever and it does it, but I'd like to use a different password.
[23:49] <ArthurArchnix> xomp yeah. Let's see if it mounted your disc automatically.
[23:49] <neeto> hmm... I dunno, I got my atheros card working using airsnort and aircrack
[23:49] <Antoine> guten morgen! was macht denn der befehl sudo m-a a-i
[23:49] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I see all my disks :)
[23:49] <creature> My thinking here is "If someone sniffs my user account password, they don't take over my entire PC."

[23:50] <Darkmystere> to format in ntfs?
[23:50] <soundray> creature: I can't think of a way to achieve that
[23:50] <ArthurArchnix> xomp see above
[23:50] <agsimeonov> nmradar: also I really like this http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Glass+Panel?content=46587
[23:51] <LjL> noelferreira: yes, but currently i think you need Windows to set up the account (since it has to be set up from their own program). after it's set up, however, you can just use any SIP client
[23:51] <danand> creature: Just a suggestion - not too sure about it - perhaps remove admin group from your everyday account - create new user for administration
[23:51] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, ok, I have the menu.lst open now
[23:51] <Shadow147> Darkmystere I would suggest u use gparted
[23:51] <neeto> masteroc: yes, but that was a couple years ago... I'm not sure what you're running into. All I remember is that it was a pain in the ass to get working... but don't get discouraged.
[23:51] <Darkmystere> I am using gparted when i click format as it doesnt light up ntfs
[23:51] <Darkmystere> just fat32 and another fat and ext3 and ext2
[23:51] <LjL> noelferreira: of course you can possibly use WINE for that
[23:51] <danand> creature: Create the new account 1st !!
[23:51] <Darkmystere> i tried formatting to ext3 but it still doesnt have the option
[23:52] <ArthurArchnix> Scroll down to where it shows the ubuntu kernel line, what does it say "root (0,0)"... or what are those numbers? Not zeros?
[23:52] <creature> danand: Good tip. :)
[23:52] <Shadow147> Darkmystere well format to fat32 then to ntfs
[23:52] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, it says "root (hd0,1)"
[23:52] <Varon_Gitano> hi everyone
[23:52] <Shadow147> Darkmystere see if that works
[23:53] <xsfr> is there a package for "boost ASIO" ?
[23:53] <noelferreira> LjL i read something about using ekiga. i really don't like wine:(
[23:53] <neeto> I want to be able to play call of duty on ubuntu, but punkbuster won't install in wine... is there a way to get around this?
[23:53] <Darkmystere> wow that was an offly fast reformat?
[23:53] <LjL> noelferreira, but i'm telling you that you'll only need to use WINE to *set up the account*, since that can only be done using their little program. you can forget about it afterwards.
[23:53] <ArthurArchnix> xomp, ok that means it's looking for the boot files on the first hard-drive and the second partition. Do you have windows or something? Post the output of "sudo fdisk -l"

[23:55] <ubotu> caribe: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[23:55] <xsfr> is there a package for "boost ASIO" ?
[23:55] <LjL> !kernel > caribe    (caribe, see the private message from Ubotu)
[23:55] <Darkmystere> it still doesnt let me format as ntfs
[23:55] <caribe> a un kernel pra un k7
[23:56] <soundray> Varon_Gitano: make sure (using synaptic, for example) that the package xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed
[23:56] <LjL> caribe: /join #ubuntu-es
[23:56] <Varon_Gitano> no, and i have been using 3d effects but i was installing beryl and now i cant use 3d effects anymore
[23:56] <ArthurArchnix> xomp ok. Everything looks real good. My next suspect is your bios. Try resetting it to defaults and rebooting. If that fails, trying going into bios and disabling anything that says "legacy".
[23:56] <Shadow147> bachstudies remove the ntfs-config then try to unmount
[23:56] <Varon_Gitano> and the video driver shows Vesa driver
[23:56] <bachstudies> Shadow147, will the drives still mount without it?
[23:56] <Johnson> anybody have the problem with not being to type in vncviewer.
[23:56] <Shadow147> bachstudies yea
[23:56] <Johnson> the texts fields aren't active for me frequently
[23:56] <bachstudies> thanks
[23:56] <Shadow147> bachstudies as long u have usbmount
[23:57] <bachstudies> Shadow147, I'll check
[23:57] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, ok, one moment, here is the pastebin of my fdisk -l http://pastebin.com/m3989631d
[23:57] <Varon_Gitano> no, and i have been using 3d effects but i was installing beryl and now i cant use 3d effects anymore
[23:57] <Varon_Gitano> and the video driver shows Vesa driver
[23:57] <soundray> Varon_Gitano: go through the X setup with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'. Say no to autodetection, select Intel on the second step, and accept the defaults for the rest of the configuration.
[23:57] <Varon_Gitano> ok
[23:57] <bachstudies> Shadow147, usbmount is currently not installed
[23:57] <Shadow147> bachstudies I have a External Drive thats NTFS and I didn't need the ntfs-config
[23:58] <bachstudies> Shadow147, the reason i installed ntfs-config was because of some HAL-storage error
[23:58] <Shadow147> bachstudies what type of drive internal or external
[23:58] <bachstudies> Shadow147, both
[23:58] <Shadow147> bachstudies hmm
[23:58] <larryone> wireless will not work on my broadcom card, and I dont have a wired network... what can I do?
[23:58] <michael132> Hello, I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm having trouble installing airsnort.  After typing in ./configure, I get an error: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[23:59] <xsfr> is there a package for "boost ASIO" ?
[23:59] <bascule> michael132: sudo apt-get install airsnort
[23:59] <creature> mwe: trying that now.
[23:59] <michael132> thanks ill try that
[23:59] <Shadow147> bachstudies I don't no about HAL-storage errors
[23:59] <LjL> michael132: why on earth are you trying to *compile* airsnort, when it is right there in the official repositories?

[23:59] <groundup> I keep trying to install 64bit Ubuntu on my AMD Turion 64 laptops and I can't get it to work. Right now it is saying that there is an error with the boot cd when I insert it. Is this due to me having 32bit on it right now?
[23:59] <ionstorm> cryptsetup question: I have Ubuntu Gutsy without cryptsetup on /dev/sda1, I have another gutsy install root encrypted on /deb/sdb1, how to I setup the grub on my normal Gutsy install to notice the encrypted volume and boot it?
[23:59] <bachstudies> Shadow147, like i say, ntfs-config worked its magic and the drives were instantly mounted and writable - I just want to be able to mount them manually with write access when i need them
[23:59] <soundray> michael132: don't compile from source. Familiarize yourself with how to install software on ubuntu (LjL sent you a useful link)
[23:59] <Varon_Gitano> Do i have to use the FRAMEBUFFER?
