[00:00] <Shadow147> bachstudies but ntfs drives usually automount
[00:00] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, ok, I reset my bios to default and it still won't boot
[00:00] <soundray> Varon_Gitano: no
[00:00] <Eyemean> hi for some reason the java buttons in homail email ar enot working in firefox, can some one help pls?
[00:00] <soundray> Varon_Gitano: accept whatever is set as the default, though
[00:00] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I don't see anything legacy in the bios options
[00:00] <Varon_Gitano> ok
[00:00] <Eyemean> i cant send emails now
[00:00] <Shadow147> bachstudies I think the package you need is automount
[00:00] <Shadow147> !find automount
[00:00] <ubotu> File automount found in autofs, logcheck-database, logwatch, tiger
[00:01] <bachstudies> Shadow147, the error message when trying to unmount is cannot open /media/.hal-mtab
[00:01] <creature> mwe - didn't work. :(
[00:01] <Varon_Gitano> xserver-xorg config?????
[00:01] <Shadow147> bachstudies |!find automount
[00:01] <Darkmystere> Err can some 1 help me Gparted doesnt show the option to format in ntfs
[00:01] <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.
[00:01] <jetscreamer> mkfs.ntfs perhaps
[00:01] <mwe> creature: you installed something and updated the menu (you still need that to make it reload it, don't you?)
[00:01] <inazad> Hi there, how I can get a terminal access to my router ? (like SSH or Telnet)
[00:02] <bachstudies> Shadow147, nothing
[00:02] <Shadow147> bachstudies hmm well I never have had the error
[00:02] <genii> Darkmystere: Thats not an error. It doesn't format in ntfs
[00:02] <jetscreamer> jone would need ntfsprogs if it was going to work though
[00:02] <soundray> inazad: 'sudo apt-get install ssh'
[00:02] <Varon_Gitano> ok but i have to choose my mouse port!!
[00:02] <ally_oxoxo> Cpudan80: you there?
[00:02] <Cpudan80> yes?
[00:02] <soundray> Varon_Gitano: no, you don't
[00:02] <ally_oxoxo> ok
[00:02] <soundray> Varon_Gitano: you just have to accept whatever is already selected for you
[00:02] <ally_oxoxo> i did a clean fresh install
[00:02] <tom____> what package do i need to get all the libc man pages?
[00:02] <inazad> soundray, I have SSH, but I want to access to my router
[00:02] <mwe> creature: I'm sure you can do something similar then. leave out the single quotes too if you didn't :)
[00:02] <ally_oxoxo> but for some reason, when i go to Application - Add/Remove and try to enable xchat it doesn't work
[00:02] <michael132> Wow.  I've heard that Ubuntu has great technicial support, and this was incredibly easy to get a split second answer.  I'm sure my question was very easy to answer, but I'm really impressed.  Thank you guys.
[00:03] <Shadow147> bachstudies hmm well I look around the forums u may find something there
[00:03] <Darkmystere> But it has a Ntfs Option.. But you cant click it
[00:03] <ally_oxoxo> my Synaptic Package Manager doesnt have xchat either
[00:03] <Starnestommy> tom____: glibc-doc
[00:03] <soundray> inazad: you probably only have the client so far. You need to install an ssh server on your router.
[00:03] <ally_oxoxo> and sudo apt-get install xchat wont work either Cpudan80
[00:03] <creature> mwe: I installed gtkpod, it was not on the menu. I ran update-menus, and it appeared.
[00:03] <ally_oxoxo> any ideas?
[00:03] <bachstudies> Shadow147, thanks - I have just removed the drives from fstab and will see if manually starting them works now
[00:03] <ken_> !info xchat | ally_oxoxo

[00:03] <inazad> soundray, and how ?
[00:03] <mwe> creature: hmm
[00:03] <Cpudan80> ally_oxoxo: What does it say?
[00:03] <ken_> ally_oxoxo: you don't have all your repos enabled
[00:03] <creature> mwe: There's a characteristic delay before the menu appears after it's been updated, and that didn't happen the first time around either.
[00:03] <ArthurArchnix> xomp Well, grub looks good. How long have you waited at the flashing cursor? Have you given it a solid five minutes?
[00:03] <Cpudan80> ally_oxoxo: You need to enable the universe repo
[00:03] <danand> inazad: ssh 192.168.?.? -o user=admin works for me
[00:03] <tom____> Starnestommy: i've installed it but still can get pages like printf, strtol
[00:03] <Darkmystere> What program would i use to format in Ntfs?
[00:03] <mwe> creature: I'm sure you can make it work
[00:03] <soundray> inazad: or you have to enable port forwarding on your router, so that it puts incoming traffic through to some other machine that runs the ssh server
[00:03] <ArthurArchnix> xomp What is the make and model of your computer?
[00:04] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, yeah, I've given it like half an hour heh
[00:04] <ally_oxoxo> Cpudan80: Reading state information... Done
[00:04] <ally_oxoxo> E: Couldn't find package xchat
[00:04] <Varon_Gitano> I have a screen with Xserver-xorg configurATION, AND -I HAVE TO CHOOSE MY MOUSE PORT, AND SHOWS dEV/ imput mice - /dev psaux
[00:04] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, it's a Dell Optiplex 320
[00:04] <mwe> creature: odd
[00:04] <bascule> Darkmystere: mkntfs

[00:04] <Varon_Gitano> gpmdata
[00:04] <mwe> creature: without the outer quotes of course?
[00:04] <ArthurArchnix> xomp curious. K... lemme do a little forum searchin. While I'm at it, hit the dell support site and see if there is a bios update available.
[00:04] <Shadow147> ally_oxoxo sudo apt-get install xchat-common xchat-gnome
[00:04] <creature> mwe: If you have a 99update-notifier, you might like to have a peek at that. It uses DPkg::Post-Invoke.
[00:04] <ally_oxoxo> okay let me try that
[00:04] <creature> mwe: Of course.
[00:05] <soundray> Varon_Gitano: there is something already selected for you -- probably /dev/input/mice. Just stick with that.
[00:05] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, yes, sir. Thanks for all your help by the way. I appreciate it :)
[00:05] <Johnson> is there a way to toggle between command line and console program
[00:05] <mwe> creature: maybe so
[00:05] <Varon_Gitano> protocol?
[00:05] <ally_oxoxo> hey Shadow147
[00:05] <ally_oxoxo> Reading state information... Done
[00:05] <ally_oxoxo> E: Couldn't find package xchat-common
[00:05] <inazad> soundray, how I can put the SSH server into my router ?
[00:05] <Varon_Gitano> imps or explorer
[00:05] <ally_oxoxo> doesnt work either
[00:05] <mwe> creature: perhaps dig the manual. I'm sure it's possible

[00:05] <Darkmystere> mkntfs What i do with that?
[00:05] <LjL> ally_oxoxo: i suppose you do have universe enabled?
[00:05] <ally_oxoxo> I think it is
[00:06] <ally_oxoxo> where can i find it?
[00:06] <soundray> inazad: it depends on your router, but it's probably offtopic here, unless your router runs ubuntu.
[00:06] <Varon_Gitano> ok but i dont have default option
[00:06] <VOiCi> hey
[00:06] <LjL> ally_oxoxo: check /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:06] <mindframe> can someone help me please?  as soon as my system logs in it exits back to gdm
[00:06] <Shadow147> ally_oxoxo oh you need to open your universe list
[00:06] <VOiCi> Anyone know a fix to libmyspell problem with firefox(crash)?
[00:06] <IndyGunFreak> isn't universe enabled by default?
[00:06] <IndyGunFreak> i thought it was anyways
[00:06] <ally_oxoxo> ok
[00:06] <ally_oxoxo> oh
[00:06] <soundray> mindframe: check whether your disk is full
[00:06] <ally_oxoxo> omg  the repos are not enabled!
[00:06] <LjL> IndyGunFreak: i think it is on Gutsy, anyway, if that package isn't found, there has to be a reason.
[00:06] <Shadow147> ally_oxoxo use gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:06] <ally_oxoxo> why is it not enabled by default? that is silly
[00:06] <LjL> QED
[00:06] <Varon_Gitano> ready
[00:07] <LjL> ally_oxoxo: pastebin that sources.list please
[00:07] <IndyGunFreak> ljl  lol, no disputing that.., i didn't realize we weren't dealing w/ Gutsy.'
[00:07] <genii> soundray: Also if root recently ran X in their directory
[00:07] <Varon_Gitano> NOW? that's all?
[00:07] <soundray> Varon_Gitano: now restart your computer
[00:07] <Shadow147> ally_oxoxo well just enable all of the disabled repos
[00:07] <Varon_Gitano> ok c ya and thanks so much
[00:07] <danand> inazad: Thats quite involved in a lot of instances - requires reconfiguring and reinstalling the software your router runs on - usually busybox - and including the ssh server in the configuration
[00:07] <inazad> soundray, a linksys router ?
[00:07] <mwe> creature: oh you need a semicolon
[00:07] <LjL> Shadow147: that's a pretty bad idea
[00:07] <Shadow147> ally_oxoxo then try to install it
[00:07] <inazad> danand, ok
[00:07] <soundray> genii: good point, thanks
[00:07] <Eyemean> does anyone know why the java buttons in hotmail wont work pls?
[00:07] <VOiCi> Anyone know a fix to libmyspell problem with firefox(crash)? ??
[00:07] <ally_oxoxo> # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
[00:07] <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????
[00:07] <ally_oxoxo> Ok i see now
[00:07] <mwe> creature: two in fact
[00:08] <dfeeser> I was wondering what version of Ubuntu someone would recommend to install my laptop.  The steps are 768k ram, Pentium 1.6 M (not dual core), 40GB HD, ATI Radeon 64 or 128 card
[00:08] <creature> mwe: Nah, there's no post-install hook in apt.
[00:08] <mindframe> soundray, disk is definitely not full
[00:08] <creature> man apt.conf for details.
[00:08] <LjL> ally_oxoxo: you probably installed Ubuntu while not having a working Internet connection. pastebin that list.
[00:08] <mwe> really
[00:08] <Darkmystere> is there a GUI for mkntfs i dont want to mess up with those commands..
[00:08] <creature> Yep.
[00:08] <creature> It's Post-Invoke that I'm after.
[00:08] <soundray> inazad: Linksys routers come with various operating systems, some based on Linux, some on others, but none on Ubuntu, so it's offtopic.
[00:08] <mwe> creature: google returns numerous hits though
[00:08] <inazad> ok
[00:08] <soundray> mindframe: can you log in on a text console?
[00:09] <TrichomeKid> okay, did I hear someone say that the Flash installer was broken?
[00:09] <Shadow147> LjL well I don't want any packages not accessible which I made need
[00:09] <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????
[00:09] <LjL> !flash > TrichomeKid    (TrichomeKid, see the private message from Ubotu)
[00:09] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, ok I'm updating my BIOS.
[00:09] <mindframe> soundray, im ssh'd into it right now
[00:09] <creature> mwe: If it's there, it's not documented in the manual.
[00:09] <IndyGunFreak> what problem did she have that required a clean install?
[00:09] <danand> inazad: Possible though - seen some magazine articles on doing just that - Hack It!! :)
[00:09] <ArthurArchnix> xomp So I take it you've come across the kernel bug report with respect to this machine? I assume that since you knew to use the hpet=disable boot option to get it to install. The bug report I'm speaking about is here: Dell Optiplex 320
[00:09] <mwe> creature: 'DPkg::Post-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/bin/update-menus;"};' would be the correct syntax
[00:09] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, from 1.1.9 to 1.1.11
[00:09] <TrichomeKid> x-chat kind of stinks ....
[00:09] <ArthurArchnix> xomp  oops. Here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/138305

[00:09] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, yes, I was reading that one :)
[00:10] <Talim_1979> Help! I've got a large XFS partition using LVM, it suddenly became unreadable.. I ran xfs_check but it fails with an Input/Output error.  Is there any way to save it?  Data integrity is not very important.
[00:10] <Aloha> !flash
[00:10] <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
[00:10] <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.
[00:10] <siriusnova> guys anyone know when this bug will be fixed?
[00:10] <LjL> Shadow147, nonsense. the default sources.list also lists stuff like backports and proposed (commented out), which you *definitely* want to make *sure* you *really* want to enable. enabling stuff randomly is seldom a good idea.
[00:10] <siriusnova> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/150519
[00:10] <soundray> mindframe: make sure that all files in your home directory are owned by you: 'sudo chown $USER:$USER /home/$USER'
[00:10] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I tried to do some research on my own so's not to be entirely needy hehe :)
[00:10] <soundray> mindframe oops, mistake
[00:10] <ally_oxoxo> thanks Shadow147, LjL and Cpudan80
[00:10] <ArthurArchnix> xomp Let us pray to the almight computer lords for thy mercy. Oh dell, please bless this bios and give us the power to boot the buntu, in thy name, amen.
[00:10] <ally_oxoxo> you guys are great :)
[00:10] <soundray> mindframe: make sure that all files in your home directory are owned by you: 'sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER'
[00:10] <Dr_willis_> TrichomeKid,  try xchat-gnome if you want to see stinkage. :)
[00:10] <mindframe> k
[00:10] <IndyGunFreak> TrichomeKid: what alternative would you suggest
[00:10] <Shadow147> TrichomeKid but some people prefer xchat
[00:10] <LjL> !msgthebot > Aloha    (Aloha, see the private message from Ubotu)
[00:10] <Dr_willis_> TrichomeKid,  I actually perfer the older versions of xchat.
[00:10] <IndyGunFreak> ally_oxoxo: why did you have to do a clean install?
[00:10] <TrichomeKid> Dr_willis_: I think thatś what I have
[00:10] <genii> Darkmystere: Try first to install ntfsprogs then try gparted again to see if it's using that as it's backend when available
[00:10] <xomp_> lmao
[00:10] <Dr_willis_> TrichomeKid,  first thing i do is install the actual xchat.
[00:11] <TrichomeKid> is it different?
[00:11] <timnik> Evening all, anyone ever done any "pinning" with apt? I've set up a preferences file like in http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Apt-Pinning_on_Ubuntu and added the extra repositories for hardy to my gutsy installation... pin-priority for gutsy is set to 700 and hardy is set to 600. Unfortunately, it now wants to update 97 packages, so it seems to be ignoring my priorities. Any ideas?
[00:11] <Aloha> ljL thnx
[00:11] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I think your prayers fell on deaf ears :( Still not booting lol
[00:11] <LjL> !pinning > timnik    (timnik, see the private message from Ubotu) never really dealt with that stuff, but here's the official documentation about it
[00:11] <mindframe> soundray, done.  still happening
[00:12] <TrichomeKid> IndyGunFreak:  I don´t know many alternatives
[00:12] <soundray> genii: have you got another suggestion for mindframe?
[00:12] <ArthurArchnix> xomp From the bug report: I may be able to offer some testing assistance in this area. I'm running gutsy on an optiplex 320, but I had to install feisty and upgrade. I am running the 2.6.20.16 kernel, because no 2.6.22.* kernels will boot.
[00:12] <Shadow147> LjL well I do alot of compiling testing so I need all packages accessible just incase I need I can go grab it from the repos and not having to go dig for it
[00:12] <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????
[00:12] <IndyGunFreak> TrichomeKid: thats my point, Xchat is a fine client..., unless you live CLI, then there's irssi
[00:12] <soundray> mindframe: can you see anything interesting in $HOME/.xsession-errors ?
[00:12] <TrichomeKid> I bet ChatZilla is better tho... and Konversation has 4 stars
[00:12] <bahman> Hi everybody
[00:12] <LjL> Shadow147: you may have your very good reason, however that's *not* a good reason to recommend the same to others.
[00:12] <timnik> LjL, I've read all that on pinning, and followed everywhere it pointed too, but it won't work.
[00:12] <IndyGunFreak> konversation?...lol, i found it unusable.
[00:12] <genii> soundray: To login to console, then do something akin to : sudo chown -R correctusername:correctusergroup /home/theusername
[00:13] <soundray> genii: done
[00:13] <ArthurArchnix> xomp And in your bios, have you tried disabling floppy, legacy usb support, hmm... anything else that can be disabled and still alllow the computer to boot.
[00:13] <TrichomeKid> well, i just started using linux yesterday so I dont know
[00:13] <bahman> How could I speedup my ubuntu booting?! And also do I need a difagrimenting program?!
[00:13] <TrichomeKid> its not recognizing apostrephes sooo
[00:13] <genii> soundray: Ok lemme check scroll first
[00:13] <creature> mwe: Adding the semicolons and making it Post-Invoke makes it work, thanks. If you've got a Launchpad account, do you want to add a note giving the fix?
[00:13] <IndyGunFreak> TrichomeKid: as log as you're not using Pidgin for IRC, you're probably ok
[00:13] <Dr_willis_> I use chatzilla a lot also.
[00:13] <Shadow147> TrichomeKid didn't I want anything fancy just a simple IRC chat program
[00:13] <soundray> bahman: you don't need to defragment
[00:13] <Shadow147> LjL I will remember that
[00:13] <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????
[00:13] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, yeah I have floppy disabled and I don't see any legacy usb available
[00:13] <LjL> bahman: 1) by temporarily putting "profile" in your kernel parameters 2) no, unless you really mess up with your disk there's no real need for defragmenting
[00:14] <soundray> bahman: and check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=189192
[00:14] <nemilar> soundray: I'm convinced that ext3 does need to be defragmented, it's all just a big conspiracy
[00:14] <Talim_1979> does anyone have any suggestions on how to repair an XFS partition with read/write errors?
[00:14] <TrichomeKid> iĺl be back with a better client :)
[00:14] <bahman> soundray why could you refer me?!
[00:14] <genii> mindframe: : What was the last thing you did before it stopped working?
[00:14] <Darkmystere> Yay it worked
[00:14] <Darkmystere> =)
[00:14] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, does it look like my only salvation is to install fiesty and upgrade then? heh
[00:14] <soundray> nemilar: yeah, and the CIA didn't shoot JFK. He's still alive
[00:14] <creature> Talim_1979: read/write errors would be a hardware error, rather than a filesystem error. :(
[00:14] <LjL> !defrag | soundray, nemilar, bahman
[00:14] <genii> Darkmystere: Good
[00:14] <bahman> soundray Really thanks ;)
[00:14] <ubotu> soundray, nemilar, bahman: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed.
[00:14] <ArthurArchnix> xomp I've found a bunch more threads. And no one can get a 2.6.22 kernel to boot on this thing.
[00:15] <mindframe> genii, i just rebooted.  .nvidia-settings-rc is causing a lot of errors.  can i wipe that file out?
[00:15] <Shadow147> nemilar I was told ext3 don't need to be defragmented
[00:15] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, figures I would be cursed with a hoaky system LOL :D
[00:15] <Talim_1979> creature:  yes, I think the drive may have bad sectors.. but it's not completely dead
[00:15] <Cyclonut> quick question-I am writing a bash script that executes commands in a protected directory. I do not want to have to type my password when I execute the script. How might I achieve this?
[00:15] <Darkmystere> is it safe to Resize Windows  from gparted while on the thing and then add it to ubuntu?
[00:15] <LjL> Shadow147: see the above
[00:15] <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????
[00:15] <LjL> Darkmystere, resizing partitions with data on them is *never* safe.
[00:15] <creature> Talim_1979: First thing to do is make a backup, if you can. Burn stuff to DVD, copy it to another a drive, a USB pen, anything.
[00:16] <genii> mindframe: Ah, then that may be part of the issue. Did you try something like installing the nvidia drivers by compiling or something just before this started happening?
[00:16] <bahman> LjL How could I put "profile" in my kernel parameters?!
[00:16] <Shadow147> LjL well I won't use it unless It is necessary unlike with windows
[00:16] <LjL> !boot > bahman    (bahman, see the private message from Ubotu) see "boot options"
[00:16] <|ns|nR8> Darkmystere,  ive done it heaps of times and it works, justy make sure all your data is backed up first
[00:16] <Darkmystere> LjL: Im resizing the freshly formatted ntfs so i can add it to Ubuntus ext3
[00:16] <danand> Darkmystere: Always back up data before messing with partitions etc
[00:16] <Darkmystere> i did
[00:16] <Smegzor> I'm thinking of backing up / and found this in the ubuntu forums..     tar cvpjf backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/dev /      Is this good or can I do a better backup some other way?
[00:17] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, since things are looking grim for me, do you know how I would go about removing grub from my mbr? (if that's where it's located) I would like to get back the space I set aside for Gutsy since it won't install lol

[00:25] <agentmarmite> i have an intel e6600
[00:25] <secher> can anyone help me safely partition my hdd to install windows on, and get the boot screen to choose what OS to boot..
[00:26] <xsfr> won't let me i dont have to permissions shadow147.
[00:26] <Cyclonut> self_up: when you get into the live session, click the 'install' thing on the desktop
[00:26] <soundray> agentmarmite: do a 'uname -a' to know for sure
[00:26] <Cyclonut> self_up: then, if you remove the cd, you can boot into gutsy without CD
[00:26] <agentmarmite> soundray: ok, thanks. one sec.
[00:26] <Shadow147> xsfr use -arf instead
[00:26] <genii> mindframe: What soundray points out that gdm runs hints at something within the user envelope or home dir being at cause, like an .Xsesssion file with inalid settings, or an impossible default resolution, etc
[00:26] <timnik> LjL, ok, to answering my own question, if you don't want stuff installed by default, the pin-priority must not only be lower than whatever you want to prioritise, but also lower than the default, which is 500. I'll update the wiki to mention this too. :-)
[00:26] <self_up> Cyclonut, ah, was wondering what that was for, thanks
[00:26] <jay-oh-en> can sombody help me with what i posted
[00:26] <timnik> LjL, btw, that was in regard to pinning
[00:26] <xsfr> Shadow147, i have been.. cp -arf..etc
[00:26] <mindframe> genii, fixed it.  i just reinstalled the nvidia driver and let it regenerate the configuration.  thanks so much for the help genii and soundray
[00:26] <Shadow147> xsfr hmm

[00:27] <LjL> timnik: thank you
[00:27] <Shadow147> xsfr well try man cp
[00:27] <genii> mindframe: Glad you got it going :)
[00:27] <Cyclonut> self_up: to be clear, when you boot off the CD, you have not installed ubuntu. You are literally running right off the CD
[00:27] <JordiGH> It's weird. Dell had to install LinDVD on this thing in order to get legal DVD playback. How very odd.
[00:27] <Cyclonut> self_up: besides that, good luck!
[00:27] <danand> xsfr: Do you own the files your trying to copy??
[00:27] <soundray> agentmarmite: you need to follow the instructions on the help page under AMD64 (even if that seems counterintuitive)
[00:27] <Shadow147> xsfr look at the other options
[00:27] <xsfr> yes danand.
[00:28] <xsfr> i have the files on my desktop
[00:28] <TrichomeKid> so it IS possible to fix the flash player plugin using the Fix at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397  ?
[00:28] <soundray> agentmarmite: "For 7.10" to be precise :)
[00:28] <self_up> cool, another question to get me going - I'm trying to use my home wireless network, and i leave 'wireless connections' to 'roaming', but it never seems to pick anything up, something about wireless driver i have to do first??
[00:28] <self_up> Cyclonut: thanks, that is clearer now
[00:28] <agentmarmite> soundray: you mean a help page online?
[00:28] <soundray> agentmarmite: the one I pointed you to earlier

[00:30] <soundray> self_up: note that roaming doesn't work well with routers that don't broadcast the ESSID
[00:31] <agentmarmite> soundray: the  medibuntu way looked the easiest but none seemed to work
[00:31] <neeto> Does anyone know of a wallpapoz alternative? I am using it with compiz, and if I look at all my workspaces at once, they aren't the right wallpapers...
[00:31] <self_up> soundray, i'm fairly sure the router does: ESSID is the 'name of the network' ja?
[00:31] <soundray> agentmarmite: it's probably because you have the 64bit version. Make sure you have the 32bit libraries, then try from a terminal 'linux32 skype'

[00:36] <soundray> agentmarmite: <the_package> is just a placeholder. It's meant to be replaced with the name of the skype.deb package that you downloaded in the preceding step.
[00:36] <astro76> valemon: install the manpages-dev package
[00:36] <genii> agentmarmite: When you have an i386 deb file the --force-architecture  part makes it install anyhow on a x64 based linux
[00:36] <agentmarmite> soundray: but which directory do i save the package to?

[00:37] <mith_> however, javascript is on and flash is installed
[00:37] <soundray> agentmarmite: it doesn't really matter. A default firefox saves it to your desktop, so do a 'cd $HOME/Desktop' first, then enter the dpkg command.

[00:43] <TilRock> can anyone tell me how I disable these annoying little yellow information boxes that pop up when I put my mouse over an icon?
[00:43] <agentmarmite> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52950/plain/
[00:43] <Jangari> okay, i'l try that, kitche
[00:43] <Shadow147> solexios hmm I can remember the correct code
[00:43] <wyclif> !hi | BjornA
[00:43] <ubotu> BjornA: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[00:43] <soundray> illriginal: un0p has a point, but I think it's worth a try
[00:44] <ScreaminIke> i'm having problems with miro. it won't download. anything. i think the problem is my net admin's filtering software has identified miro as malicious (in some way) and has blocked it from downloading.... is there any way to change the application name in the packets so that it doesn't know that it's miro and thinx it's... firefox?
[00:44] <solexious> cool, ty
[00:44] <TilRock> they look like little post-it notes
[00:44] <[Triona]> neeto: just a minute, need to install lynx and gdm so I can pastebin
[00:44] <TrichomeKid> okay, i changed the font size in Firefox to like 20 yet some fonts still remain extremely small
[00:44] <xsfr> is there a way i can login as root so i can copy files..etc
[00:44] <TrichomeKid> what gievs
[00:44] <Junaos> !sudo | xsfr
[00:44] <ubotu> xsfr: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[00:44] <agentmarmite> aaah first skype on ubuntu, then supreme commander forged alliance... hehe
[00:45] <astro76> xsfr: from your question I'm guessing you want a file manager as root... you can do that with 'gksudo nautilus'
[00:45] <SnakeArtworX> So, anyone had such problem before? I'm talking about messy screen in Nexuiz?
[00:45] <Enron> genii I already have an entry in network for eth0 but I can't brint it up keep getting same error SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0 error while getting interface glags
[00:45] <Enron> flags*
[00:45] <TrichomeKid> i can tell im on a linux server...  star wars references :P
[00:45] <soundray> agentmarmite: the problem is that there is already a skype package present -- version 2.0.0.13 rather than the older one you tried to install with dpkg

[00:46] <soundray> agentmarmite: what happens when you do a 'linux32 skype' now?
[00:46] <gh0st> yeah. but what options?
[00:46] <Jangari> kitche: still doin it
[00:46] <|unjustice|> Hi.  I just added my username to another group using usermod, but now sudo is broken!
[00:46] <|unjustice|> I can't use sudo to do anything!
[00:46] <soundray> agentmarmite: no, there are still plenty of options
[00:46] <|unjustice|> sudo ls doesn't ven work

[00:46] <nugz1212> genii, will this tutorial work with the -rt module? it says it will fail at compiling, but doesnt say anything else about it
[00:46] <agentmarmite> soundray: i get: linux32: skype: No such file or directory
[00:46] <Jangari> nautilus is almost freezing, to the point where i need to force quit, every time i try to change directory
[00:46] <gh0st> no, i mean what should i write in the fstab as options?
[00:46] <kitche> Linuxishawt: do you have X installed since minimal install won't install it
[00:46] <IndyGunFreak> Jangari: its a sign, use thunar..lol
[00:46] <gh0st> i just want the 'default' (read, write, etc.) ones
[00:46] <genii> nugz1212: rt kernel I dunno, haven't tried it.

[00:47] <dfeeser> I was wondering what version of Ubuntu someone would recommend to install my laptop.  The steps are 768k ram, Pentium 1.6 M (not dual core), 40GB HD, ATI Radeon 64 or 128 card
[00:47] <soundray> agentmarmite: what do you get from a 'sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture /var/cache/apt/archives/skype*2.0*deb'? Pastebin if there are errors
[00:47] <genii> Enron: If yes to either question there, try to start up eth1 instead
[00:48] <wyclif> !hi | shock
[00:48] <ubotu> shock: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[00:48] <Jangari> i'll give it a go, konquere sh|ts me
[00:48] <IndyGunFreak> Jangari: tunar is really good, i like it a lot
[00:48] <jay-oh-en> why does this happen (please look at it) http://pastebin.com/m6cf3a6d1
[00:48] <illriginal> soundray... that worked beautifully!!
[00:48] <TrichomeKid> dfeeser: the latest would be fien.
[00:48] <illriginal> thank you very much :D
[00:48] <thinh1977> ls
[00:48] <TrichomeKid> fine, that is.
[00:48] <Enron> genii I think the prob is it see's eth1 not eth0
[00:48] <Smegzor> I just had a kernel panic (blinking capslock and scroll lock).  Will the problem be logged somewhere?  Its working fine after a reboot.  I was in a remote X session (XDMC) at the time.
[00:48] <Enron> hmm why does linux always do that
[00:48] <Jangari> man, no way on windows would you be able to replace your file browser, i love it!
[00:49] <dfeeser> TRich: would you suggest Xubuntu or just Ubuntu given the low 768k ram?
[00:49] <wyclif> Jangari: what are you using now?
[00:49] <shrug> !ot
[00:49] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[00:49] <genii> Enron: OK there is a fix, in udev for this. 1 minute I'll look it up
[00:49] <soundray> illriginal: is it playing across the file boundaries?
[00:49] <Jangari> right now, thunar
[00:49] <DG19075> is running Ubuntu 7.10 in 512 k
[00:49] <scguy318> dfeeser: 768 K? veeery low, Xubuntu wouldn'te ven do it
[00:49] <TrichomeKid> defeeser: im running 512 on this machine...
[00:49] <agentmarmite> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52951/plain/
[00:49] <Jangari> up until a minute ago, nautilus
[00:49] <TrichomeKid> ive never used xubuntu, sorry
[00:49] <scguy318> dfeeser: unless you mean MB?
[00:49] <TrichomeKid> oh, wait...
[00:49] <TrichomeKid> 768 MB, i assumed.
[00:50] <nickrud> jay-oh-en: as it says, the package you installed is only an installer of the java docs from sun, you have to manually download the zip from the given website
[00:50] <wyclif> Jangari i find fluxbox + thunar + conky is a really nice combo
[00:50] <dfeeser> oh yes i am sorry - 768M :)
[00:50] <DG19075> 512 MB here  and 7.10 runs fine
[00:50] <TrichomeKid> yea 768KB wouldnt get you passed the boot screen :P
[00:50] <soundray> agentmarmite: okay, that hasn't worked. -- You enable the Medibuntu repository, correct?
[00:50] <TrichomeKid> DG19075:  me as well... runs good
[00:50] <pyrops> hi, i still cant get my sound to work. i installed the ALSA base drivers and then rebooted, however after it says there are no GStream plugins?! what should i do?
[00:51] <[Triona]> I've got 128MB in here...
[00:51] <Jangari> fluxbox? conky?
[00:51] <scguy318> dfeeser: 768 K is like DOS era :) anyway, actually 512 MB is a little more than enough for Ubuntu, Xubuntu on 768 MB would do very nicely
[00:51] <Jangari> !fluxbox
[00:51] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[00:51] <genii> Enron: edit with admin privelege /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules            and remove the eth0 and eth1 entries. After a reboot it should be again eth0 as originally
[00:51] <Jangari> !conky
[00:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about conky - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:51] <dfeeser> haha whoops.  Thing is Gnome takes forever to load on this laptop.  Opening up a terminal takes 10 seconds
[00:51] <Enron> ty
[00:51] <agentmarmite> soundray: you mean in software sources?
[00:51] <dfeeser> just seems slow for the specs
[00:51] <soundray> agentmarmite: yes
[00:51] <DG19075> rruns well and very solisd too
[00:51] <wyclif> Jangari conky is a system monitor
[00:51] <jay-oh-en> nickrud, so why does it do that? shouldi have to
[00:51] <TrichomeKid> is there a pre-installed Hardware Monitor on v7.10?
[00:52] <TrichomeKid> or one i can install that checks cpu temp, fan speed, etc?
[00:52] <nickrud> jay-oh-en: probably has to do with licensing terms from sun
[00:52] <scguy318> TrichomeKid: not preinstalled, but there is sensors-applet
[00:52] <agentmarmite> soundray: all the 3rd party boxes r ticked. i haven;t added any myself, i tried a skype server this morning but it made it crash so i deleted it, so its just the default 4
[00:52] <scguy318> dfeeser: is Compiz running?
[00:52] <noelferreira> LjL, i have installed and configured voipbuster in windows. what should i do now in ubuntu. what sip client should i use and how can i configure it?
[00:52] <TrichomeKid> scguy318: is there a specific name?
[00:52] <scguy318> noelferreira: I hear Ekiga is good
[00:52] <nickrud> jay-oh-en: if you take a look at /usr/share/doc/sun-java5-doc , there's probably a README that explains
[00:52] <scguy318> TrichomeKid: sensors-applet is the package that gives you a GNOME panel applet
[00:52] <agentmarmite> soundray: also the "ubuntu software" section is all ticked
[00:53] <noelferreira> scguy318, and how can i configure it?
[00:53] <soundray> agentmarmite: give me two minutes to test the medibuntu skype version on my own 64bit machine
[00:53] <TrichomeKid> thanks
[00:53] <TilRock> can anyone tell me how to shut off those information text boxes that pop up when you hold your mouse pointer over an icon or menu item?
[00:53] <agentmarmite> soundray: thankyou, i hope im not too much trouble
[00:53] <CHOWNER> thats a tooltip
[00:53] <dfeeser> scguy: i installed XUbuntu desktop on top of the Ubuntu one..would a fresh install of XUbuntu help?  To answer your question, I dont think it is since i am running xfce, but i do not know how to check.
[00:53] <TilRock> yes, tooltip
[00:53] <TrichomeKid> gDesklets works well?
[00:53] <jscinoz_>  linux-image-2.6.22-14-386  is a SMP kernel yes?
[00:53] <CHOWNER> does M$ have a hold on the name tooltip
[00:53] <jay-oh-en> nickrud, if i dont do that will my java still work
[00:53] <PointyThingsHurt> Anyone know why my Num Lock, Scroll Lock and Caps Lock lights do not work?
[00:54] <SnakeArtworX> Ok,there was no answer for my question:( I will try to ask differently: What does it mean "7DrawQ ResetClipArea: not in 2d rendering state!" ?
[00:54] <CHOWNER> I would guess its your app doing that
[00:54] <scguy318> jscinoz_: the Ubuntu kernel is built with SMP support I believe, yes
[00:54] <CHOWNER> you mean on desktop?
[00:54] <jscinoz_> how can i check how many cores the os is detecting?
[00:54] <CHOWNER> count the penguins @ boot time
[00:54] <TilRock> on desktop menu's
[00:54] <nickrud> jay-oh-en: yes, that's only the doc package. if you install sun-java5-jre and sun-java5-plugin  (for i386 java) you're good to go. Or install the sun-java6-*
[00:54] <scguy318> jscinoz_: probably check System Monitor I suppose
[00:54] <[Triona]> jscinoz_: less /proc/cpuinfo
[00:55] <scguy318> dfeeser: it may, since the default Xubuntu install gives you a lesser set of packages
[00:55] <TrichomeKid> PointyThingsHurt: Try goign to System > Preferences > Keyboard
[00:55] <LjL> noelferreira, you can use the one you prefer... if you're in GNOME, there's Ekiga and linphone that i know of. as for configuring, the voipbuster site has instructions...
[00:55] <jay-oh-en> nickrud, kk
[00:55] <CHOWNER> can you see penguins at bootup or in shell?
[00:55] <TrichomeKid> select an appropriate ¨Layout¨
[00:55] <dfeeser> scguy318: is there a way to check to see if Compiz is running in xfce?
[00:55] <wyclif> whoever asked about tooltips?
[00:55] <wyclif> use gconf-editor
[00:56] <soundray> agentmarmite: okay, skype works a treat here. I got version 1.4 from the medibuntu repository. Do you want me to guide you through enabling that & fixing the conflicting packages thing?
[00:56] <TilRock> me
[00:56] <TilRock> ok, I'll give that a shot
[00:56] <wyclif> to disable tooltips globally...
[00:56] <scguy318> dfeeser: ps -A | grep compiz
[00:56] <scguy318> dfeeser: if nothing shows up Compiz is not running
[00:56] <agentmarmite> soundray: id be very grateful if u would.
[00:56] <jscinoz_> [Triona] where in that does it say how many cores it has.
[00:56] <chowner> yaay, I was gonna ask you what window manager you were running
[00:56] <dfeeser> thanks
[00:56] <wyclif> gconf-editor > apps > panel > global  untick tooltips_enabled
[00:56] <chowner> looks like Gnome
[00:57] <noelferreira> LjL, so why i needed to install voipbuster in windows? it was no enough create an account in the site?
[00:57] <soundray> agentmarmite: go to this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and scroll down to "Adding the Repositories"
[00:57] <[Triona]> jscinoz_: it should list each core in that file
[00:57] <EtherNomad> I just switched my wireless network from wpa2 to wep and then back again.  I tried getting gutsy to connect to the wep network.  Now it seems like wireless is entirely disabled...
[00:57] <Rich4> I need help to get a desktop cube on gnome. Can it be done with beryl?
[00:57] <Enron> genii lol after disabling the two entrees eth0 and eth1, it auto made eth2
[00:57] <jscinoz_> its only listing one...
[00:57] <Enron> I think it's a cat mouse chase
[00:57] <jscinoz_> and gnome-system-monitor is only showing one too >_<
[00:57] <jscinoz_> wtf?
[00:57] <jscinoz_> any ideas why?
[00:57] <LjL> noelferreira: last time i checked, there wasn't a way to create an account from the site.
[00:57] <agentmarmite> soundray: ok
[00:57] <noelferreira> ah ok
[00:57] <noelferreira> lol
[00:57] <nickrud> !beryl | Rich4
[00:57] <scguy318> jscinoz_: something in BIOS disabling the other core? if the cores are detected > 1 CPU would show up
[00:57] <ubotu> Rich4: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz
[00:57] <LjL> noelferreira: but yeah... i did most definitely tell you that the Windows part was just to create the account.
[00:57] <soundray> agentmarmite: highlight the line under Gutsy Gibbon with your mouse and paste it into your terminal with the middle mouse button
[00:57] <nickrud> !compiz > Rich4 (see pm)
[00:58] <genii> Enron: You rebooted?
[00:58] <jscinoz_> scguy318,would it matter im using the -386 kernel instead of -generic?
[00:58] <soundray> agentmarmite: from 'sudo' to 'list'
[00:58] <Enron> yea
[00:58] <Linuxishawt> !help > linuxishawt

[00:59] <ubotu> freeman163: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[00:59] <genii> Enron: Also you may have legacy file of /etc/iftab (NOT /etc/fstab)     with old MAC entries
[00:59] <LjL> noelferreira: no, it's really just that they want you to use their program for some reason (although they allow SIP for some reason... seems slightly inconsistent, but oh well)
[00:59] <jscinoz_> hmm apparently -386 doesnt have smp
[00:59] <soundray> agentmarmite: now copy and paste the 'wget' line that follows (for the GPG key)
[00:59] <jscinoz_> time to swap kernel >_<
[00:59] <jscinoz_> peace out guys
[00:59] <scguy318> jscinoz_: it might, uname -a would tell if you SMP support doesn't exist
[00:59] <scguy318> jscinoz_: *does/doesn't
[00:59] <genii> Enron: If that /etc/iftab exists, empty it of content also
[00:59] <noelferreira> LjL, ok
[00:59] <EtherNomad> how do I enable wireless in gutsy?
[00:59] <SnakeArtworX> Hey, is there anyone who could help a little? I was asking what could be a cause of display troubles in Nexuiz running on Gutsy64 with restricted nvidia drivers and compiz running

[01:00] <ubotu> mylogic: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[01:01] <chowner> live cd

[01:02] <soundray> agentmarmite: feed them to me via pastebin please ;)
[01:02] <agentmarmite> soundray: ok, one sec
[01:02] <scguy318> EtherNomad: probably you may have to use ndiswrapper to get it working

[01:04] <Jangari> how do i change the default file browser?
[01:04] <nickrud> xen_: start with  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , and log out and back in. That should get you the default ati setup
[01:04] <wyclif> LjL and that's EXACTLY how I used it.
[01:04] <Rich4> Would I get help setting that up or must I go to #compiz
[01:04] <LjL> wyclif: uhm, no, you used it on people who hadn't said anything at all.
[01:04] <wyclif> LjL IOW, those users just joined.
[01:04] <soundray> agentmarmite: 'sudo apt-get -f install' and errors to pastebin again pls
[01:04] <mith_> does anyone have any idea ?
[01:05] <LjL> wyclif: ok, look, just don't use it like that.
[01:05] <Starnestommy> Rich4: you could ask here, but #compiz-fusion may be of more use
[01:05] <EtherNomad> ok, let me rephrase...Network Manager does not list wireless as an option.  two options are "Wired Network" (which is grayed out) and "Manual configuration..."
[01:05] <msdtux> I try to install feisty server on my new PC. It stuck on 85 % (after selection which software I would like to install, I choose LAMP)...
[01:05] <wyclif> LjL I think I'll use it the way it's supposed to be used, kthxbai
[01:05] <scguy318> EtherNomad: did you read my responses? :)
[01:05] <Rich4> can I get help on setting up gnome?
[01:05] <scguy318> EtherNomad: you'll probably have to use ndiswrapper to get it working
[01:05] <LjL> wyclif: that is, not as you just did. correct?
[01:05] <soundray> wyclif: you do have a subordination problem, don't you ;)
[01:05] <portablejim> I have gotten myself into a mess by following a thread for Breezy then getting halfway through it and fining out it is not for Gutsy. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75443&p=408416 is the post and I have not completed step 10. Could someone help me undo what I have done.
[01:05] <LjL> msdtux: feisty? why don't you install gutsy?
[01:05] <Rich4> I just put 7.1 on with a live cd
[01:05] <sybariten> i have installed ubuntu live on a USB memory of 1Gb
[01:06] <EtherNomad> its been working for months until 30 minutes ago
[01:06] <wyclif> soundray i just don't tolerate bullying dude
[01:06] <astro76> wyclif: you should probably listen to the channel ops
[01:06] <hanophix33> can someone tell me how to speed up desktop effects
[01:06] <mith_> please? its probably pretty simple, and seems to me like its ubuntu not functioning right not my error
[01:06] <sybariten> followed the pendrive linux tutorial, have 750 for the OS and 250 megs for persistent changes
[01:06] <scguy318> EtherNomad: oh, in that case you probably should pastebin dmesg
[01:06] <Linuxishawt> Maybe someone can help me out with smbclient, I can connect to my C$ on my Server 2003 box and at the prompt I can ls but when I try to cd to another folder I get a NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND error , any suggestions?
[01:06] <scguy318> hanophix33: turn off effects you dont want, get a better video card
[01:06] <msdtux> Ljl, I have DVD repo of feisty, so I don't want to waste theme. I have limited bandwith.
[01:06] <astro76> Rich4: what do you need help with?
[01:06] <sybariten> i think the 250 got full very quickly... the question is, can i somehow get rid of gnome and use xfce instead?
[01:06] <EtherNomad> please clarify for irc noob
[01:06] <sybariten> would i need to resize partitions?
[01:06] <soundray> wyclif: there was no bullying. You were being taught how to use the bot. Not on newcomers who haven't said anything. Just accept it.
[01:06] <nickrud> wyclif: and if you want an example of bullying (never seen LjL do that) visit #debian
[01:07] <scguy318> EtherNomad: type lspci > output.txt in terminal, open that output.txt and !pastebin it
[01:07] <LjL> tsss. back on topic
[01:07] <EtherNomad> roger that
[01:07] <wyclif> soundray you have trouble comprehending english? i'm saying i used it exactly the way it's supposed to be used.  capiche?
[01:07] <Smegzor> Where do Windows shares get mounted?  I have two that show up in Places but aren't accessible to some apps.
[01:07] <mith_> ive tried to manually install flash, and it tells me /usr/lib/mozilla is not a valid directory
[01:07] <agentmarmite> soundray: sorry for the slowness - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52954/plain/
[01:07] <scguy318> Smegzor: nowhere
[01:07] <scguy318> Smegzor: unless you mount it yourself with smbfs
[01:07] <mith_> so does ubuntu put that somewhere non standard ?
[01:07] <jnascimento> Smegzor: type mount you ll see some fat mounted
[01:07] <Rich4> astro76: I'm rather flustered having had to reinstall windows/ubuntu/gentoo after the first time when gentoo erased my grub
[01:08] <hanophix33> scguy318: no workarounds?
[01:08] <jnascimento> Smegzor: or ntfs
[01:08] <jimbolina> excuse please to help wireless card connecting on gusty
[01:08] <scguy318> hanophix33: I'm not wholly familiar with Compiz but that's what I think
[01:08] <jnascimento> jimbolina: bring it on baby
[01:08] <mith_> i could just really use some help with why ubuntu doesnt know flash is there, although it installed it
[01:08] <gh0st> i managed to mount my ext3 drive through fstab, but now i can only read it as user !? (i set options 'user' and 'rw' though!!!)
[01:08] <mith_> is there something non-standard or special i have to do to get flash working ?
[01:08] <Rich4> astro76: as I ran kubuntu in my previous install, I'd like to run gnome this time
[01:08] <soundray> agentmarmite: sorry, this is a bit drawn out... 'sudo apt-get install skype-common'
[01:09] <nickrud> Smegzor: the ones you mount with Places are sort of virtual mounts, only apps that use the gnome virtual file system can see those, like gedit, the pdf viewer, and some others
[01:09] <SnakeArtworX> Well,do I ever get even a small reply for any of my questions asked? Even simple "No" will be OK,so I will know to not wait ages for reply.
[01:09] <scguy318> !brokenflash | mith_
[01:09] <ubotu> mith_: 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.
[01:09] <astro76> mith_: did you install it recently
[01:09] <scguy318> !patience | SnakeArtworX
[01:09] <ubotu> SnakeArtworX: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:09] <Rich4> astro76: I need help in installing it onto a generally raw install of gutsy
[01:09] <mith_> astro76: i just installed ubuntu last night
[01:09] <jimbolina> I installed gusty a whil back and now the card wireless stopped working even through the card worked in feisty
[01:09] <astro76> SnakeArtworX: people will not reply if they don't know the answer
[01:09] <EtherNomad> ok, I got the lspci part... adding < output.txt causes error
[01:09] <Smegzor> nickrud: yeah I figured that.  oh well.. I'll just have to use different tools for some things.
[01:09] <agentmarmite> soundray: no problem, i really appreciate the time you're showing me. i pasted and pressed enter. it looks good, no errors, should i pastelog?
[01:09] <scguy318> EtherNomad: > output.txt
[01:10] <astro76> Rich4: what do you mean? did you install some other ubuntu flavor first? if so then just install the ubuntu-desktop package
[01:10] <soundray> SnakeArtworX: if nobody knows an answer, nobody will answer. Just repeat your question after >10 minutes, for the people who joined in the meantime
[01:10]  * EtherNomad smacks head in shame
[01:10] <scguy318> EtherNomad: we're not taking the non-existent output.txt into standard in, we're taking dmesg's standard out and redirecting to output.txt
[01:10] <agentmarmite> soundray: *pastebin rather
[01:10] <noelferreira> LjL, can you tell me where are the instrucions in the voipbuster site. i can't find them.
[01:10] <gh0st> Hello, I mounted my ext3 HD through fstab, but now i can only READ it, no writing only with root !? (i set options 'user' and 'rw' though!!!)
[01:10] <scguy318> EtherNomad: then just pastebin the stuff
[01:10] <bthornton> I'm about to put 32-bit Ubuntu (Gutsy) on an AMD Turion64 laptop with 2GB of RAM.  Will the 32-bit version be able to utilize the full 2GB of RAM?
[01:10] <soundray> agentmarmite: no, just retry 'sudo apt-get install skype'
[01:10] <SnakeArtworX> ubotu: Success! Someone has answered my calling. Yay!
[01:10] <astro76> bthornton: yes
[01:10] <nickrud> Smegzor: I don't use smb much at all, but many people like fusesmb
[01:10] <mith_> i see its a known problem..
[01:10] <scguy318> SnakeArtworX: keep in mind that ubotu is a bot
[01:11] <Rich4> astro76: I was running kubuntu before, though after installing gentoo it erased my grub list
[01:11] <tifine> does any body know any software to blur-up  in ubuntu ?
[01:11] <Rich4> astro76: I reinstalled everything, and want to try gnome this time
[01:11] <Smegzor> I tried nfs but it causes my pc to freeze on any file over 1gb
[01:11] <mith_> the problem that i run into, is even when i try to install flash off adobe's site
[01:11] <ehom1> test
[01:11] <astro76> Rich4: so why not just install ubuntu?
[01:11] <mith_> it tells me /usr/lib/mozilla is not valid
[01:11] <jimbolina> so do I go back on feisty where card works?
[01:11] <mith_> when i clearly see the directory is there
[01:11] <SnakeArtworX> scguy318: but appears like it has a "Ghost"
[01:11] <mith_> and has files in it
[01:11] <astro76> Rich4: plain ubuntu is gnome
[01:12] <Rich4> astro76: it is installed. I'm on the installed copy of it
[01:12] <SnakeArtworX> or even a AI
[01:12] <mith_> ubuntu says its not there
[01:12] <scguy318> SnakeArtworX: because I told it to direct a factoid to you :)
[01:12] <jimmygoon> Anyone here use rEFIt?
[01:12] <Rich4> astro76: really eh
[01:12] <Linuxishawt> thanks to everyone who helped me out today, I now have KDE 4 running on top of a ubuntu minimal install
[01:12] <EtherNomad> it all makes sense once I slow down and pay attention...
[01:12] <scguy318> SnakeArtworX: ubotu just responds to factoids
[01:12] <agentmarmite> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52956/plain/
[01:12] <scguy318> mith_: have you tried the deb solution pointed to by the ubotu factoid?
[01:12] <EtherNomad> now where did I put that spare cat5 cable...
[01:12] <Rich4> astro76: could you direct me to instructions in getting compiz-fusion
[01:12] <gh0st> how can i change the user rights with fstab?
[01:12] <kbs> hello, I have a sony vaio that used to have sound on feisty, now on gutsy it has no sound, none of the posts on helped solve the problem, but I did notice something that might help someone fix the problem cause I surely can't, pressing the mute button now triggers MWheele down action ... might this be relevant?
[01:13] <scguy318> EtherNomad: trying to install ndiswrapper? it should be on your Ubuntu CD if you have it
[01:13] <astro76> !compiz | Rich4
[01:13] <ubotu> Rich4: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[01:13] <whileimhere> has the flash been fixed for firefox?
[01:13] <nickrud> whileimhere: nope
[01:13] <dfeeser> would compiling heavy used applications from source speed them up? Also, is there much benifit to recompiling the kernel even if all hardware works?
[01:13] <jimbolina> or cans gusty work with card if like feisty in that part?
[01:13] <magic_ninja> how do you reinstall a program with apt-get
[01:13] <hanophix33> something is eating up my cpu, system monitor isnt showing what it is
[01:13] <whileimhere> thanks :(
[01:13] <scguy318> whileimhere: not really, but !brokenflash has a workaround you may do
[01:13] <genii> gh0st: You mean allow regular users to mount drives by editing the fstab? Yes
[01:13] <nickrud> !brokenflash > whileimhere (see the blue text in the link)
[01:14] <soundray> agentmarmite: no change then -- but it's not saying why it won't install skype-common. Let's force that file directly: 'sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/skype-common_1.4.0.118repack-0medibuntu1_all.deb'
[01:14] <genii> gh0st: put as option  users
[01:14] <gh0st> genii: i did
[01:14] <nickrud> !test > nickrud
[01:14] <gh0st> still no access
[01:14] <scguy318> soundray: 64-bit?
[01:14] <whileimhere> I will just wait for the offical fix
[01:14] <gh0st> only as root
[01:14] <whileimhere> I wonder when it will be
[01:14] <SnakeArtworX> So, as the Ubotu-san says,I repeat my ask: Anyone knows what could be the cause of display errors in Nexuiz under Gutsy-Gibbon 64-bit with Compiz and restricted nvidia drivers?
[01:14] <xen_> who ever told me to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg it didnt work,
[01:14] <scguy318> SnakeArtworX: what sort of display errors?
[01:14] <xen_> omfg please i need to fix this
[01:15] <gh0st> genii: i will try to chown the mount dir, maybe this will help!? what do you think?
[01:15] <ethernomad_> hehe
[01:15] <hanophix33> does desktop effects use a lot of CPU?
[01:15] <nickrud> SnakeArtworX: is nexuiz a gl program?
[01:15] <xen_> how do i restore the gui?
[01:15] <tifine> does any body know any software to blur-up  in ubuntu ?
[01:15] <xen_> its totally trashed, FUCK
[01:15] <xen_> ;lsdafjk;lasdfdl;ksfj
[01:15] <xen_> asldnvdal;kms
[01:15] <genii> gh0st: No, not "no access" you just yet the user has no write places on the drive but allowed to mount it. do a sudo mkdr in that drive and then make it owned by that user or else chmod 777 it
[01:15] <astro76> !language | xen_
[01:15] <ubotu> xen_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[01:15] <nickrud> xen_: did you do the dpkg-reconfigure I suggested?
[01:15] <IdleOne> !ohmy | xen_
[01:15] <xen_> yes
[01:15] <nickrud> xen_: what happened?
[01:15] <nemilar> hanophix33: no, it stresses the GPU
[01:15] <xen_> nothing
[01:15] <SnakeArtworX> scguy318: When You look in one of directions, the screen goes messy and all of textures seems to be transparent, especially when affected by light-source
[01:15] <xen_> gui still choopy
[01:15] <xen_> i tried disabling restricted driver, and then re-enabled it
[01:16] <xen_> still  same probelm
[01:16] <Starnestommy> tried reinstalling X and gnome?
[01:16] <xen_> im kubuntu
[01:16] <nickrud> xen_: did you log out and back in after running the dpkg-reconfigure?
[01:16] <xen_> kde
[01:16] <scguy318> SnakeArtworX: mm, not sure what the problem is then, may be graphic driver related
[01:16] <gh0st> genii: can't i chmod the whole drive?
[01:16] <xen_> nickrud yes
[01:16] <Starnestommy> er, X and kde
[01:16] <EtherNomad> ok, tell me more about this !pastebin thing
[01:16] <xen_> no, i used to run gnome, and it worked fine
[01:16] <Smegzor> hanophix33: I use system monitor all the time.  By default it only shows your processes. In the view menu you can get it to show all processes.  Tried that?
[01:16] <[Triona]> Anywhere else I should look to see why my X server is shutting down a few seconds after it starts? http://stephanie.lostdreams.net/2008/01/xorglog.html is the Xorg.0.log from it.
[01:16] <nickrud> xen_: what kind of video card?
[01:16] <IdleOne> !pastebin | EtherNomad
[01:16] <ubotu> EtherNomad: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:16] <genii> gh0st: chmodding the drive will not take over a reboot
[01:16] <xen_> but doesnt cooperate with kde
[01:16] <xen_> X800 xt ATI
[01:16] <xen_> radeon
[01:17] <soundray> scguy318: indeed, but I tested it on mine and it's fine
[01:17] <xen_> i used to have ubuntu(gnome) worked fine no probelms at all, compiz and everything
[01:17] <agentmarmite> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52957/plain/
[01:17] <xen_> but kubuntu is really bad
[01:17] <msdtux_> help me guys, I try to install to new PC (Feisty Server). After I select LAMP software to install, it start installing the software needed, but I'm stuck on 85%... Help please !
[01:17] <gh0st> genii: so if i understand you correctly, i should create a folder on the drive and set the permissions for me? will that work permantly?
[01:17] <genii> gh0st: Exactly, yes
[01:17] <nickrud> xen_: do you stil have gnome installed?
[01:17] <IdleOne> msdtux: stuck for how long?
[01:17] <gh0st> genii: ok, and how would i set the permissions?
[01:17] <unagi> !rosebud
[01:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rosebud - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:17] <xen_> nope, i reformated and installed kuubuntu
[01:18] <jimbolina> I installed gusty a whil back and now the card wireless stopp working even through the card worked in feisty
[01:18] <scguy318> msdtux_: what's the status message?
[01:18] <dfeeser> Is there much benifit to recompiling the kernel even if all hardware works?  Will there be any noteable difference?
[01:18] <SnakeArtworX> scguy318: I never had such problem on Debian Etch with same drivers. I tried almost every solution known to me, but everytime when I execute Nexuiz I see in terminal such info :"7DrawQ ResetClipArea: not in 2d rendering state!"
[01:18] <xen_> how do i remove the ati driver completely and reinstall it?
[01:18] <kbs> the mute button on my vaio (gutsy) triggers mouse wheel down event, and sound is not working, I would appreciate any help in getting it work
[01:18] <genii> gh0st: chmod -R 755 is usually good
[01:18] <ethernomad_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52958/
[01:18] <ethernomad_> thats pretty nifty
[01:18] <msdtux_> IdleOne, its been 30 minutes...
[01:18] <xen_> cause the restricted driver manager is very very buggy
[01:18] <nickrud> xen_: you could have just installed  kubuntu-desktop , but that's off the point
[01:18] <bryan_> deinstall
[01:18]  * Nikki85 is away: Gone away for now.
[01:18] <xen_> no i couldnt, long story, but i needed to reinstall
[01:18] <xen_> decided to choose kde instead this time
[01:18] <gh0st> genii: i read in some guide that you can also use chown, is that correct?
[01:19] <msdtux_> scguy318, there is no status message. Just stop at 85%.
[01:19] <IdleOne> msdtux_: scguy318 asked what the status message is
[01:19] <nickrud> xen_: when you did the dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg you reverted to the regular ati driver.
[01:19] <soundray> agentmarmite: what does it say when you do a 'sudo apt-get install skype-common'?
[01:19] <genii> gh0st: You want to do both
[01:19] <IdleOne> ok you saw that
[01:19] <bryan_> apt-get remove
[01:19] <xen_> im not sure if it reverted, because the restricted driver manager doesnt tell me the correct things
[01:19] <gh0st> genii: ok thanks!
[01:19] <xen_> and when i run fglrxinfo in konsol, xserver restarts
[01:19] <genii> gh0st: np
[01:19] <nickrud> xen_: do    grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf  , what driver does it say? ignore wacom and the like, I'm interested in one of fglrx, ati or vesa
[01:20] <xen_> ok, ill paste it in paste bin, one moment
[01:20] <msdtux_> IdleOne, below progress bar, its written "Installed php5-mysql"
[01:20] <agentmarmite> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52959/plain/
[01:20] <nickrud> xen_: it's only 5 lines, only one of which is interesting
[01:20] <IdleOne> msdtux_: Installed or Installing?
[01:21] <msdtux_> IdleOne: Installed.
[01:21] <SnakeArtworX> 7DrawQ ResetClipArea: not in 2d rendering state!
[01:21] <ethernomad_> anyone have a chance to look over my pastebin?
[01:21] <SnakeArtworX> What does it mean?
[01:21] <IdleOne> msdtux_: is the computer sounding like it is working?
[01:21] <soundray> agentmarmite: I think we're getting there: 'dpkg --force-depends --purge skype-common ; apt-get install skype-common'
[01:21] <msdtux_> IdleOne: Yes, it still working...
[01:21] <nickrud> SnakeArtworX: sounds like a drawing error from a specific app. Without knowing the app no one has a clue
[01:22] <cre8torx> hello
[01:22] <MartianLobster> I just attached my ubuntu laptop to a network (I plugged in the cat 5 cable). I did "su root".  Then "ifup eth0". I get "Ignoring unkowninterface eth0=eth0".  What is wrong?  How do I tell it to attach the network, and get an ip address via dhcp?
[01:22] <jimmygoon> Is there any disadvantage to using a swap file instead of a swap partition?
[01:22] <xen_> nickrud sorry the gui that unstable right now it kciks me out
[01:22] <IdleOne> msdtux_: nowmaly I would tell you to be patient. considering it is still "working" I would keep waiting for a bit
[01:22] <xen_> back though
[01:22] <SnakeArtworX> nickrud: It's a message in terminal after exiting Nexuiz
[01:22] <xen_> it says "ati" down the bottom of grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:22] <crwlr> i tried booting up the livecd 7.10 on my desktop and the screen goes all pink...got an nvidia geforce 6600 in it
[01:22] <nickrud> SnakeArtworX: sounds like you have issues with compiz. Try disabling compiz and running the program
[01:23] <ogre> desmume is giving me error. can anyone tell me what this means?
[01:23] <ogre> desmume is giving me error. can anyone tell me what this means? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52960/
[01:23] <scguy318> jimmygoon: not really
[01:23] <agentmarmite> soundray: hmmm, different error, to do with admin rights i think, sec
[01:23] <ogre> oops sorry for the double post
[01:23] <ScreaminIke> i'm having problems with miro. it won't download. anything. i think the problem is my net admin's filtering software has identified miro as malicious (in some way) and has blocked it from downloading.... is there any way to change the application name in the packets so that it doesn't know that it's miro and thinx it's... firefox?
[01:23] <soundray> agentmarmite: sorry: 'sudo dpkg --force-depends --purge skype-common ; apt-get install skype-common'
[01:23] <nickrud> xen_: hm, and you just logged back in?  post /var/log/Xorg.0.log  on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[01:23] <xen_> k
[01:23] <SnakeArtworX> nickrud: Well,I thought that could be a solution. Ok,now will be a question from drawer "Stupid":
[01:23] <IdleOne> msdtux_: what is another 30 minutes . you waited this long
[01:23] <SnakeArtworX> How to disable Compiz?
[01:24] <robdig> SnakeArtworX: is this similar with what your experiencing? http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mesa-devel/2006-November/001213.html
[01:24] <agentmarmite> soundray: that looked better :-) sec...
[01:24] <nickrud> SnakeArtworX: system->prefs->appearance, last tab. Set to none
[01:24] <agentmarmite> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52962/plain/
[01:24] <nickrud> SnakeArtworX: that should work
[01:24] <msdtux_> IdleOne: ok, it's already 35 minutes since last stuck... Yesterday, I try to install without selecting LAMP software. It also stuck on 85%. But the status is not "installed php5-mysql" I don't remember the status.
[01:24] <Egghead> im using gusty, have a sata 4 disk raid setup already with mdadm, is there a way to change the disk idenifier of the raid disks?
[01:24] <soundray> agentmarmite: arrgh, both need sudo of course: 'sudo dpkg --force-depends --purge skype-common ; sudo apt-get install skype-common'
[01:25] <soundray> agentmarmite: hold on
[01:25] <agentmarmite> soundray: i already pasted
[01:25] <IdleOne> msdtux_: is this a fresh install?
[01:25] <soundray> agentmarmite: just try a 'sudo apt-get install skype' now
[01:25] <kosa> .join #emule-polish
[01:25] <agentmarmite> soundray: its "doing stuff"!
[01:25] <Rak000_AfK> How do I know if I should use Edgy, Feisty, or Gusty?
[01:25] <robdig> msdtux_: have you verified the disk?
[01:25] <agentmarmite> soundray: its on like 60%
[01:25] <madman91> hey guys
[01:25] <SnakeArtworX> rebdig: I'm using GPRS transmission, so it takes a little to download page. I reply in a moment.
[01:25] <ogre> Rak000_AfK:  go with gutsy its the newest
[01:25] <msdtux_> IdleOne: Yes, it is fresh install...
[01:25] <ethernomad_> Did I stump the room?
[01:25] <soundray> agentmarmite: when it's done, test with just 'skype'
[01:25] <ethernomad_> Network Manager not showing Wireless as an option
[01:26] <muuddflap> can someone tell me where to download java to
[01:26] <agentmarmite> soundray: ok, before or after 'sudo apt-get install skype' ?
[01:26] <madman91> if there are two programs sharing the same "man" name but one is xxx(1) and one is xxx(2), how do I access the second one?
[01:26] <creature> I have recently installed Ubuntu. Ubuntu has decided it wants to use my onboard soundcard rather than my actual soundcard (a PCI card). How do I convince ALSA to forget about the motherboard and use the PCI card instead?
[01:26] <ethernomad_> lspci - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52958/
[01:26] <soundray> agentmarmite: after
[01:26] <msdtux_> robdig:, I have verified the disk, it installed perfectly on my other PC.
[01:26] <Rak000_AfK> ogre: I previously had use Feisty, are there notable improvements over it?
[01:26] <cre8torx> hello
[01:26] <jrib> madman91: man 2 whatever
[01:26] <IdleOne> msdtux_: there are alot of packages that need to be configured during a fresh install. keep being patient
[01:26] <soundray> madman91: man 2 xxx
[01:26] <WindowSmasher> !flash
[01:26] <ogre> muuddflap:  there should be install instructions on the site
[01:26] <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
[01:26] <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.
[01:26] <agentmarmite> soundray: after 'sudo apt-get install skype' it asks if i want to continue (assume yes, but u never know...!)
[01:26] <madman91> thanks soundray jrib  :)
[01:26] <TrichomeKid> okay so i´m using X Sensors and my CPU Temp bounces around a lot.. it will go from 0C to 44C to sometimes over 100 degrees celcius... could it be my cpu temp sensor malfunctioning or should i do somethnig about it before my cpu fries?
[01:27] <ogre> Rak000_AfK:  any particular reason you dont want to upgrade?
[01:27] <xen_> nickrud : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52963/
[01:27] <soundray> agentmarmite: paste it for me before you do
[01:27] <mcisbackuk> hi all
[01:27] <TheZealot> Anyone know a good html editor (dreamweaver like) software for Ubuntu?
[01:28] <agentmarmite> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52964/plain/ - do i need to actually paste this, looks like the same link each time.
[01:28] <mcisbackuk> how do i become a packager, i'd love to be able to contribute
[01:28] <soundray> !html | TheZealot
[01:28] <ubotu> TheZealot: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages.  Editors in Ubuntu: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem, and KompoZer(Nvu).  For howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/
[01:28] <IdleOne> Rak000_AfK: you looking for long term support or is 18 months enough ? and also do you want the latest and greatest or you happy with older/more stable?
[01:28] <nickrud> xen_: I'll look but I'm on the phone, brb
[01:28] <xen_> should i just do a full resintall ?
[01:28] <msdtux_> IdleOne, ok. I'll wait another 30 minutes... but how should I do when it still stuck ?
[01:28] <xen_> ok, np
[01:28] <noelferreira> can anyone help me configuring n?ekiga with a voipbuster accou
[01:28] <soundray> agentmarmite: it's fine, say Y
[01:28] <noelferreira> can anyone help me configuring n?ekiga with a voipbuster account?
[01:28] <muuddflap> do's not say where to download it too
[01:28] <Rak000_AfK> IdleOne: Stability is for dinosaurs :P
[01:28] <Egghead> im using gusty, have a sata 4 disk raid setup already with mdadm, is there a way to change the disk idenifier of the raid disks w/o loosing the data?
[01:28] <Rak000_AfK> :D
[01:28] <soundray> agentmarmite: and, no, we haven't been here before :)
[01:28] <IdleOne> Rak000_AfK: then install 7.10 . very stable but always evolving
[01:29] <agentmarmite> soundray: it's all way above my head...!
[01:29] <ogre> Rak000_AfK:  you can just install feisty and update to gutsy via update manager. thats what i'd recommend if  were you. that is of course if you dont want to just make a new disk which might be quicker in the future
[01:29] <IdleOne> Rak000_AfK: or you can go for 8.04 " google hardy Alpha3 "
[01:29] <andresj> !eo
[01:29] <ubotu> Iru al #ubuntu-eo, Bonvole.
[01:29] <agentmarmite> soundray: its doing stuff again, installing i guess - 15%
[01:29] <soundray> TheZealot: if you expect anything like Dreamweaver, you're likely to be disappointed, though
[01:30] <Rak000_AfK> IdleOne: notable issues with 8?
[01:30] <soundray> agentmarmite: we never got this far until now
[01:30] <Joel> I have a pro/wireless 3945ABG that up until today was working, but now it doesn't detect it, would anybody know what to do about this?
[01:30] <IdleOne> Rak000_AfK: google there is info on the site
[01:30] <IdleOne> Rak000_AfK: www.ubuntu.com/testing IIRC
[01:30] <muuddflap> well i don't know maybe this is not my game
[01:31] <nytrino> for how long does the average ban stay in here?
[01:31] <IdleOne> for ever
[01:31] <agentmarmite> soundray: 35%
[01:31] <Rak000_AfK> IdleOne: thankyou, will do.
[01:31] <nytrino> :(
[01:31] <Starnestommy> a few hours to a couple days
[01:31] <IdleOne> nytrino: or until you can prove that you are reformed
[01:31] <muuddflap> well thanks anyway
[01:31] <ethernomad_> Network Manager is not showing Wireless as an option
[01:31] <muuddflap> see ya'll
[01:31] <Joel> yeah
[01:31] <ogre> IdleOne:  is it stable yet? you might make it harder for him to get support
[01:32]  * nickrud argh
[01:32] <nytrino> well could you unban 141.30.212.78? he's really sorry
[01:32] <Joel> and when I run iwconfig it says that lo and eth0 have no extensions
[01:32] <IdleOne> Rak000_AfK: suppor for 8.04 in #ubuntu+1 ogre !worksforme
[01:32] <hk2999> ubuntu
[01:32] <hk2999> there was an error starting the gnome settings daemon today
[01:32] <hk2999> why?
[01:32] <JordiGH> Multimedia keys in this Dell Ubuntu lappy work seamlessly, all of them. How did they manage that?
[01:32] <ethernomad_> am I typing in clear text or something?
[01:32] <IdleOne> nytrino: #ubuntu-ops
[01:32] <genii> Joel: Well, since iwconfig is for wireless devices that makes perfect sense.
[01:33] <secher> anyone experienced with QtParted?
[01:33] <robdig> Joel: i have same wireless, and something happened with latest update that messed mine up. it added auto eth1 to my interfaces file, so i couldn't connect (i use wpa). commented it out, when i booted today had to run sudo ifup eth1. don't know why yet...
[01:33] <soundray> hk2999: it's a known bug
[01:33] <hk2999> Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[01:33] <Egghead> is the a command to change the disk idenifier w/o loosing exsisting data on the hard drive?
[01:33] <TheZealot> How to I automatically tell aptitude to install all the recommended packages along with any given application I am installing?
[01:33] <hk2999> soundray: so what do i do about it?
[01:33] <agentmarmite> soundray: thanks for your patience, i hope they pay you well :-)
[01:33] <hk2999> this never happened yesterday
[01:33] <IdleOne> TheZealot: man aptitude
[01:33] <msdtux> IdleOne, Yes it work... thanks... fiuh its been 45 minutes... thanks...
[01:34] <kingpin> i have an atheros wifi card.. and when I "sudo iwlist scan" i never get any results, even though there is a working router several feet away
[01:34] <IdleOne> msdtux: patience is a virtue my friend
[01:34] <pyrops> hi, i still cant get my sound to work. i installed the ALSA base drivers and then rebooted, however after it says there are no GStream plugins?! what should i do?
[01:34] <soundray> agentmarmite: I'm doing this for the love of god ;)
[01:34] <unop> Egghead, did you mean volume label?
[01:35] <IdleOne> soundray: then you must love god very much :)
[01:35] <msdtux> IdleOne, :D I dunno why, but on my other desktop is faster...
[01:35] <secher> can anyone help me with qtParted?
[01:35] <Joel> robdig, then I should run sudo ifup eth1 and reboot?  / Do you think this change will be permanent?
[01:35] <soundray> hk2999: it's intermediat. Try the instructions from Joshua Swink -- scroll down this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587410&page=2
[01:35] <Rak000_AfK> ubuntu FTW! :D
[01:35] <IdleOne> msdtux: pc's have personality some like it fast some like it slow. what is important is that it is done right :)
[01:35] <kingpin> does gutsy have any known problems with madwifi? I just cant get this card to work.. i've tried the restricted, built the latest stable and even the latest SVN and i can't get it to work
[01:35] <agentmarmite> soundray: was it something horrendously stupid i had done or is it an issue with ubuntu/skype?
[01:35] <soundray> hk2999: sorry, I meant intermittent. Getting tired...
[01:35] <help> hi
[01:36] <help> i need help settign up a ubuntu server
[01:36] <robdig> Joel: don't know if it will be permanent, haven't rebooted since :). If you run the ifup, you should see it trying to get an ip address, if finishes successfully, you should be on line
[01:36] <msdtux> IdleOne, yea you right... thanks once again.
[01:36] <IdleOne> msdtux: np
[01:36] <soundray> agentmarmite: during one of your attempts, you installed a version of skype-common that was incompatible with the skype that medibuntu distributes. Not your mistake.
[01:36] <soundray> agentmarmite: is it working now?
[01:36] <Egghead> unop, not sure the disk identifier you get when u do a fisk -l
[01:37] <agentmarmite> soundray: just finishing install
[01:37] <Joel> robdig, sorry for all the questions, what is the interfaces file you edited?
[01:37] <agentmarmite> soundray: ah ok, all done - paste report?
[01:37] <kingpin> does anyone know why iwlist scan wouldn't have any results, even when there are several ap's nearby? I have an atheros card on gutsy
[01:37] <soundray> agentmarmite: no, just test 'skype' straight away
[01:37] <Egghead> unop, i have a raid 5 setup, and whant to make sure the dev names say consistant
[01:37]  * [Triona] gives up for the night.
[01:38] <agentmarmite> soundray: looks good!!!
[01:38] <Rak000_AfK> From LiveCD, can I mount a SATA X drive to find files?
[01:38] <robdig> Joel: /etc/network/interfaces. it had added an auto eth1 at the end, that is what i commented out...my normal eth1 stanza was untouched.
[01:38]  * soundray offers agentmarmite a high-five
[01:38] <agentmarmite> soundray: yes, fabulous, im IN!!!
[01:38] <andresj> Hello, where can I find information on changing my keyobard layout to a custom one?
[01:38] <user01> what package do i need to install to play nsf files?
[01:38] <agentmarmite> soundray: that's really great, i am indebted to you, sir.
[01:39] <Joel> robdig, mine added an auto lo
[01:39] <Joel> iface lo inet loopback, that's all that's in there
[01:39] <soundray> agentmarmite: pay it forward
[01:39] <SnakeArtworX> ^7Draw_CachePic: failed to load gfx/crosshair7 What it could be now?
[01:39] <Javid> How do I change the icon next to the Applications menu?
[01:39] <unop> Egghead, errm, i'm pretty sure a udev rule can help here -- but i've never tried it out to be sure
[01:39] <IdleOne> agentmarmite: www.paypal.com/soundray-food-fund :)
[01:40] <IdleOne> Javid: you dont
[01:40] <Javid> there's gotta be a way
[01:40] <Egghead> unop, cool, thanks ill google it :)
[01:40] <robdig> Joel: that should be ok...but not that there isn't anything else
[01:40] <Smegzor> I'm setting up samba shares using fusesmb and I'm concerned about the security of having username and password in the config file.  The problem is that there is only one user set up on the file server and that user can issue sudo commands.  Should I create a less privileged user just for smb shares?
[01:40] <soundray> Javid: it's not worth it
[01:41] <agentmarmite> soundray: ill see what i can do, ill check the old money jar! thankyou SO MUCH.
[01:41] <fristera> I am looking for ubuntu help, it shouldn't take long
[01:41] <Joel> robdig, lol that's what I thought, is there anywhere where they have what is suppose to be in that file?
[01:41] <Javid> soundray, why not? :p
[01:41] <genii> Smegzor: Yes
[01:41] <IdleOne> Javid: there is a way but it is hardcoded and why would you want to change it anyway. it is so round/triangular/human/free looking
[01:41] <ogre> desmume is giving me error. can anyone tell me what this means? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52960/
[01:41] <Javid> I've been tweaking my desktop and it's the last object on the screen that isn't colored blue
[01:41] <soundray> Javid: the integrity of your system rests on that icon
[01:42] <robdig> Joel: typically, you have a stanza for each interface...on mine lo, eth0 (wired) and eth1 (wireless)
[01:42] <fristera> I can not upload to ubuntu using ftp
[01:42] <kingpin> ... i have an atheros wifi card and `sudo iwlist ath0 scan` never works.. can anyone help me?
[01:42] <IdleOne> soundray: lmfao
[01:42] <unagi> !cron
[01:42] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[01:42] <Joel> robdig, ok, I'll work on it, thanks for the help, you rock!
[01:42] <Ibanez> Just thought I would announce to the world that I just installed Ubuntu on my 17" widescreen Toshiba Satellite and it rocks (minus the wired network adapter - wireless works fine).
[01:42] <fristera> need help uploading through ftp
[01:42] <IdleOne> then entire system rest on the stablity of 1 icon hahahah
[01:42] <robdig> Joel: if you're not doing anything special, like wep or wpa, just adding auto eth0 or 1 should help
[01:42] <genii> Ibanez: :) Nice
[01:43] <Joel> robdig, should I just copy what's there for lo with eth0 or eth1?
[01:43] <Rak000_AfK> LiveCD able to mount SATA drives containing linux part.s?
[01:43] <mattholimeau> Joel: no. that's a bad idea
[01:43] <robdig> Joel: its worth a try. after you do that, then run sudo ifdown and sudo ifup
[01:43] <SnakeArtworX> Still got the same problem: Ubuntu Gutsy (64)+8600GT (restricted nvidia driver)+compiz=no objects ecept map and "lightsource-activated" messed-up textures:)
[01:43] <soundray> Javid: I was just kidding, of course. Keep searching, you'll eventually find a way to replace it. Sorry, no help from here.
[01:44] <Joel> ok, one sec
[01:44] <mattholimeau> Joel: lo and eth0 will have very different configs
[01:44] <kingpin> sigh... does anyone have an atheros wifi card working in gutsy?
[01:44] <Smegzor> genii: Does the user need to be a desktop user or will unprivileged work?
[01:44] <robdig> mattholimeau: he is putting auto eth0 and auto eth1 in...his interfaces seem to have disappeared
[01:44] <mattholimeau> joel: however, i completely missed the context of the conversation, so ignore me
[01:45] <Joel> mattholimeau, what should I do then?
[01:45] <unop> Smegzor, have you looked at the credentials option of smbmount -- man smbmount
[01:45] <genii> Smegzor: unpriveleged is fine
[01:45] <Joel> sorry guys, I wish I could figure out more for myself, but its a tough spot for me
[01:45] <mattholimeau> joel: i just saw "copy the config of lo to eth0 and eth1"... so, sorry, my bad
[01:45] <Joel> oh np, I'm going to try it then
[01:45] <Smegzor> unop: Will do
[01:46] <unop> genii, but why have any user's credentials publicly available? it's better to have that info hidden
[01:46] <EtherNomad> alright...I'm at a loss.  I do a 'iwlist eth1 scanning' and I can see my wireless network
[01:46] <EtherNomad> Network Manager just isn't giving the option for wireless
[01:47] <pipegeek> I just had reason to uninstall nvidia-glx-new and install it again.  When I did, the glx module no longer loaded in X (complaining of an unknown symbol, _nv000042gl).  What do I do to get GLX back?
[01:47] <EtherNomad> I got pissed and restarted Ubuntu...problem persists
[01:47] <genii> unop: Yes, this is true. I generally use some account which has no shell account by habit, something like pcguest or so.
[01:48] <ThipThip> question:  Let's say I want a launcher to just go to a folder - what would the command line be for just a file browser?
[01:48] <pipegeek> I'd really like 3d acceleration to work.  There's no reason that it shouldn't.
[01:48] <genii> EtherNomad: When there is an /etc/network/interfaces entry for a device the network manager ignores it
[01:48] <zobf> Ha.
[01:48] <crdlb> pipegeek: pastebin your full /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:48] <genii> EtherNomad: It's considered a manually configured device
[01:48] <kingpin> i'm having trouble getting my wireless to work. Ii try "iwlist ath0 scanning" and it will never show any networks.. can anyone help
[01:48] <portablejim>  I have gotten myself into a mess by following a thread for Breezy then getting halfway through it and fining out it is not for Gutsy. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75443&p=408416 is the post and I have not completed step 10. Could someone help me undo what I have done.
[01:49] <Ibanez> ack... no sound
[01:49] <pipegeek> crdlb: will do
[01:49] <phantomcircuit> sudo apt-get install ffmpeg E: Couldn't find package ffmpeg
[01:49] <EtherNomad> alright, should there be anything in the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[01:49]  * Ibanez plods off in search of solution
[01:49] <phantomcircuit> que?
[01:50] <unop> genii, from a windows perspective, you also have to make sure that that user does not have the ability to interactively logon and you have to limit his access to that set of shares only -- while you might want to have this anyway, its not always possible, sometimes you need elevated rights to access a share and in that case it's better you have any user credentials hidden
[01:50] <slack_> hi
[01:51] <slack_> some online?
[01:51] <IdleOne> !info ffmpeg
[01:51] <ubotu> ffmpeg (source: ffmpeg): multimedia player, server and encoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu4 (gutsy), package size 184 kB, installed size 652 kB
[01:51] <nickrud> portablejim: you're in luck, you haven't made any changes to your gutsy install. Out of curiosity, did you actually get something when you installed linux-tree-2.6.12 ?
[01:51] <unop> phantomcircuit, what does this return?  apt-cache policy ffmpeg
[01:51] <Carbonflux> I hoping someone can help we with some weirdness on my ethernet, it keeps toggling to idle and back really quick in the net monitor, I seem to get getting full bandwidth but when I look at the history its a series of spikes ?
[01:51] <Carbonflux> its very weird
[01:52] <Carbonflux> it goes: 60 kb/s - idle, then back againb
[01:52] <Carbonflux> every few miliseconds
[01:52] <power788> what do I add to my .bashrc file to make it ask before deleting files?
[01:52] <Joel> robdig, I tried adding auto eth0 iface eth0 inet loopback into interfaces and then ifdown -a ifup -a and everything came out without error, but I do not have wireless still, what do you think I should do here?
[01:52] <kingpin> ...anyone willing to help me with my wireless problem? i cant find any answers on the internet
[01:52] <unop> power788, alias rm='rm -i'
[01:52] <phantomcircuit> unop:W: Unable to locate package ffmpeg
[01:53] <power788> unop: thank you
[01:53] <unop> phantomcircuit, you probably want to update your package list -- run  sudo apt-get update
[01:53] <pipegeek> crdlb: pastebin.com/m4c7d4725
[01:53] <unop> phantomcircuit, also ensure you have the universe repo. enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:55] <power788> unop: does this apply to when using Nautilus too?
[01:55] <mattholimeau> someone come fix my monitor. it sucks.
[01:55] <IdleOne> mattholimeau: size?
[01:55] <unop> power788, sorry, come again, i'm not sure i understand
[01:55] <portablejim> nickrud: I found out that the package is now linux-source.
[01:56] <power788> does adding  alias rm='rm -i' to my .bashrc file make it so Nautilus will ask before deleting files as well?
[01:56] <phantomcircuit> unop: every line was commented out :roll:
[01:56] <unop> power788, errm, no -- this only applies to bash
[01:56] <power788> how can I change nautilus too?
[01:56] <robdig> Joel: not quite right. you want auto eth0 carriage return iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:56] <unop> phantomcircuit, err , there you go then
[01:56] <portablejim> nickrud: thanks for telling me. So I just delete the folders I made?
[01:57] <mattholimeau> IdleOne: hah, no - i meant like with a sledgehammer and $500 for a replacement or something. it's just fuzzy if i havn't had it on for like an hour. it'll go away
[01:57] <unop> power788, i'm not sure about nautilus
[01:57] <mattholimeau> IdleOne: maybe just a regular hammer and many swings... it might be more satisfying.
[01:57] <nickrud> portablejim: what you've done so far is simply modify the source package. you should remove the source package , then delete any remaining folders
[01:57] <phantomcircuit> unop: wow much bigger problem
[01:57] <IdleOne> mattholimeau: 3rd floor window always does the trick :)
[01:58] <Alagar> hi i got one question: how do i create a folder in a folder where only the root has the rights? ( i am looking for the correct command.)
[01:58] <mattholimeau> IdleOne: have you heard of this though? It's an old flatscreen, and it's fuzzy until it "gets warm" or something.
[01:58] <nickrud> Alagar: sudo mkdir /path/to/folder
[01:58] <Smegzor> In fstab, my smb shares use credentials=/.root/smbcredentials   I have created an unpriv'ed user for connecting to the shares.  Do I change root to the name of the unpriv'ed user or keep it as is?
[01:58] <portablejim> nickrud: so all I have to do it do the opposite to steps 6 then 5?
[01:59] <crdlb> pipegeek: hmm: try sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-glx-new
[01:59] <IdleOne> mattholimeau: no but I have heard of this in older flat screen tv's
[01:59] <portablejim> ... and step 8
[01:59] <phantomcircuit> http://rafb.net/p/26Upku22.html <-- What The Fuck
[01:59] <pipegeek> crdlb: done, no effect
[01:59] <mattholimeau> IdleOne: strange... i jump into warsow and the "fuzziness" completely goes away.
[02:00] <portablejim> ... step 8 part a
[02:00] <unop> Smegzor, you put into the credentials file, the username and password of the windows/samba user you use to connect to the remote samba machine
[02:00] <crdlb> pipegeek: you could try sudo apt-get --reinstall install libg1-mesa-glx    then reinstall nvidia-glx-new again
[02:00] <nickrud> portablejim: yup, pretty much.
[02:00] <phantomcircuit> ah hell i know what the problem is
[02:00] <mattholimeau> IdleOne: then i quit out and it's back to fuzzy. i know if i sit around for an hour or so it'll gradually go away
[02:00] <unop> Smegzor, i dont see why you want to rename root (not a good idea anyway)
[02:00] <IdleOne> !language | phantomcircuit
[02:00] <ubotu> phantomcircuit: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[02:00] <secher> anyone that can help me out with qtparted? When i try to format a hidden partition it warns me to unmount all disks, "make sure youre not comitting a busy device" and i guess its physically part of an active disc (the system disc) and i cant unmount the system disc can i?
[02:01] <Alagar> nickrud: e.g. in /fruits sudo mkdir /apples?
[02:01] <IdleOne> Alagar: sudo mkdir /fruits/apples
[02:01] <Smegzor> unop: wasn't suggesting I did that :O
[02:02] <portablejim> thanks alot.
[02:02] <Linuxishawt> Has anyone had an success getting a 7.10 to connect to a 2K3 Domain?
[02:02] <Smegzor> unop: I think I'm all set now anyway.  I've created my new user, changes smbcredentials to use it for the user/pass.  time to test :)
[02:03] <Alagar> IdleOne: thank you.
[02:03] <tsrk> Hi, how do I restart IRCD?
[02:03] <IdleOne> Alagar: sudo mkdir /fruits/apples/red_delicious
[02:03] <tsrk> (I mean ircd-hybrid)
[02:03] <IdleOne> :)
[02:03] <ethernomad> I'm back in business!  I removed everything from the /etc/network/interfaces file except for the loopback entry
[02:03] <ethernomad> works like a champ
[02:04] <Alagar> IdleOne: haha. thank you. got it.
[02:04] <Ibanez> lol... ubuntu just politely notified me my battery is fully charged.
[02:04] <ethernomad> thanks to everyone who gently nudged me in the right direction
[02:04] <IdleOne> tsrk: as oper /rehash
[02:04] <Alagar> IdleOne: and how do i delete a folder?
[02:04] <IdleOne> sudo rm-rf /fruits/apples/red_delicious
[02:04] <tsrk> Doesn't that just reload the conf file?
[02:04] <pipegeek> crdlb: that did it, I think.  Should have mentioned that I foolhardishly ran the nvidia installer blob earlier (I was briefly using my own kernel, and there was no .deb).... it just poos all over everything.
[02:04] <pipegeek> Thanks.
[02:04] <IdleOne> tsrk: yes
[02:04] <cryonv> Hey guys.. I've got my system all buggered up... for some reason the eth0 and the eth1 seem to almost randomly be re-activating... on top of that it seems like my route isn't working. (Yes, I'm on a different computer now.)
[02:05] <tsrk> I want to completely restart it
[02:05] <IdleOne> tsrk: lemme check gimme a minute
[02:05] <tsrk> I'm trying to get hybserv working
[02:05] <tsrk> Ok, thanks
[02:05] <pipegeek> I'm off

[02:06] <mattholimeau> why can't i ctrl-c out of a bogus svn command?
[02:06] <unistyle> I need some serious help fellas
[02:07] <mattholimeau> seriously?
[02:07] <unistyle> installing drivers?
[02:07] <unistyle> anyone?
[02:07] <mattholimeau> well, you're about ten steps ahead of me, unistyle... my computer won't even do anything when i press the on button.
[02:07] <haymaker> anyone know about qcad?  i am wondering how to copy and paste from one drawing to another
[02:08] <unistyle> hmm
[02:08] <hanophix33> does anyone know how to fix those black minimizing lines?
[02:08] <leprasmurf> hello all, I'm trying to migrate from knoppmyth to mythbuntu.  I have an LVM partition that I'd like to keep, any guidance on how to migrate that?
[02:09] <unistyle> matt, is there a shortcut command under file copy?
[02:09] <cafuego> Use the Ubuntu alternate installer, which will detect the lvm and make sure you tell it to NOT wipe it.
[02:09] <ryanakca> is there any way to grep for 22 only in the last collumn? iptlog is a script that prints lines in this format, and I only want to show lines of connections on port 22. 'Jan 21 21:00:47         192.168.1.1     33591   192.168.1.101   80' ? I currently have something along the lines of `iptlog  | awk '{ print $2}' | grep 22`, but that wont work because its only grepping 22 in the portlist, and only displaying 22, not the whole line. Any ideas?
[02:09] <unistyle> like, ctrl+shift+c
[02:09] <cafuego> leprasmurf: ... chosoe manual/advanced partitioning and you should be fine.
[02:09] <humblerodent> hanophix33: I don't think that's something to "fix," if you're talking about the squares when you minimize a window....it's a graphical effect.
[02:09] <leprasmurf> cafuego: are you referring to the live cd?
[02:10] <cafuego> leprasmurf: No, the `alternate' installer is not on the livecd.
[02:10] <leprasmurf> cafuego: do I have to take any steps to use it?
[02:10] <eugman> I just put in a network card but when I run ifconfig it shows no eth0 just lo. I'm not sure what to do.
[02:10] <unistyle> I can't figure out how to install something i've downloaded fromt he internet and is not on in the manager
[02:10] <leprasmurf> cafuego: ok, thanks, I'll look it up
[02:10] <kitche> cafuego: he's talking about mythubuntu :) so it might not be what your thinking
[02:10] <secher> anyone that can help me out with qtparted? When i try to format a hidden partition it warns me to unmount all disks, "make sure youre not comitting a busy device" and i guess its physically part of an active disc (the system disc) and i cant unmount the system disc can i?
[02:10] <cafuego> kitche: mythbuntu is just a meta-pkg on Ubuntu.
[02:10] <unop> ryanakca, well, your awk command is doing that, if you want the whole line, take the awk command out
[02:11] <IdleOne> tsrk: in unrealircd the command is /restart
[02:11] <portablejim> secher: to unmount the system partition use the live CD.
[02:11] <unop> secher, use qparted from a live CD -- or use the command line to format the partition
[02:11] <ryanakca> unop: yes, but then it would grep in the time, the ip address, etc.
[02:11] <cafuego> leprasmurf: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download  -> Tick the box just under the Start Download link.
[02:11] <leprasmurf> cafuego: ty
[02:11] <Ibanez> blech... gotta reboot into windows land.. later
[02:12] <kitche> cafuego: ah it seems like it's supported then before it wasn't supported in here for a while but just went to mythubuntu website and it seems supported now
[02:12] <genii> blech, windows land
[02:12] <unistyle> can anyone help with installing files?
[02:12] <marion> Seeking help for GlobeTrotter Max 3.6 install
[02:12] <TrichomeKid> where are applications stored?  im trying to get the full path to my text editor to input into my FTP program
[02:12] <hanophix33> humblerodent: yea, it looks crappy
[02:12] <leprasmurf> cafuego: are you saying to just install ubuntu as normal then install the package from synaptics?  essentially?
[02:13] <marion> Seeking help for GlobeTrotter Max 3.6 install
[02:13] <leprasmurf> that would make it easy I suppose
[02:13] <secher> portablejim, unop, thanks
[02:13] <hanophix33> i just spent days trying to get desktop effects enabled, now they just bogg my computer down
[02:13] <eugman> Does anyone know how I can check if the computer reconizes the netowrk card at all? It's hooked in, lights are on, and the cable is in but ifconfig shows no eth0
[02:13] <cafuego> leprasmurf: Yep.
[02:13] <TigerCR1200> Is it possible to burn a CD while using the LIVE CD?
[02:13] <kitche> eugman: ifconfig -a and pastebin what it shows
[02:13] <unistyle> what happens if you do ipconfig release
[02:13] <cafuego> leprasmurf: You just need this alternate CD so that you can keep the LVM
[02:13] <cafuego> TigerCR1200: If you have 2 CD drives yes
[02:13] <unistyle> that's windows code, don't know if it works
[02:14] <leprasmurf> cafuego: I understand, thank!
[02:14] <TigerCR1200> cafuego: no I do not have two drives.
[02:14] <mattholimeau> really would like to figure out why my display is so fuzzy. anyone have any ideas?
[02:14] <cafuego> TigerCR1200: Then no.
[02:14] <marion> Seeking help for GlobeTrotter Max 3.6 install
[02:14] <TigerCR1200> Thank you
[02:14] <unop> ryanakca, command | egrep -i "\w+\s+22\s+"
[02:14] <unistyle> maybe your graphics card did not get it's drivers installed
[02:14] <Gamma-X> how do u change resolution without being able to see the screen? like only from the keyboard
[02:14] <mattholimeau> anyone have like, usage statistics for ubuntu? like, how many people use it as compared to other distros and as compared to, say, windows or mac?
[02:15] <unop> ryan8403, actually - command | egrep -i "^\w+\s+22\s+"
[02:15] <ryanakca> unop: aaah, thanks :)
[02:15] <unistyle> 93% of computer users use windows...i think like 7% use mac and 1% use linux
[02:15] <unistyle> not 100% sure about that though
[02:15] <phantomcircuit> im 100% sure that your wrong
[02:15] <Tm_T> unistyle: nah
[02:15] <unop> unistyle, that's about right
[02:15] <Tm_T> anyway, that's offtopic
[02:16] <eugman> kitche, I can't pastebin it. It's on a computer I'm trying to get working with the internet. However, when I do it an eth1 shows up so I guess it sees the card?
[02:16] <kitche> eugman: probably sees the card as eth1
[02:16] <Gamma-X> anyone know how to change resolution without seein the screen?
[02:16] <unistyle> i just want to know how to install downloaded software that's not in the manager
[02:17] <mattholimeau> what about ubuntu vs other distros though... like... number of main users...
[02:17] <mattholimeau> is it in the thousands, tens of thousands?
[02:17] <mattholimeau> dare i say hundreds? heh
[02:17] <kitche> mattholimeau: umm they just bunch Linux together sicne they are all the same Operating systems really
[02:17] <Tm_T> mattholimeau: offtopic too
[02:17] <htns> What's a good textmate alternative for ubuntu?
[02:17]  * whitehat hi,everybody!nice to meet you.

[02:18] <ally_oxoxoo> guys i have a question, i installed flash but it's not working, how come?
[02:18] <Tm_T> what drivers?
[02:18]  * Dr_willis_ wonders what textmate is.
[02:19] <unistyle> i downloaded a video driver for my graphics chipset on my motherboard, but cannot get it to install
[02:19] <aloha> htns: vim
[02:19] <unistyle> not sure about the code or whatever
[02:19] <Dr_willis_> unistyle,  whats your video card for starters.
[02:19] <hanophix33> what is the best desktop launcher?
[02:19] <aloha> hanophix33: xfce
[02:20] <Dr_willis_> hanophix33,  i just drag some icons to the panel. and launch from there. :)
[02:20] <Gamma-X> anyone know how to change resolution without seein the screen?

[02:21] <unistyle> i have a biostar p4m900 chipset motherboard with a via chrome9 onboard graphix
[02:21] <wibou> I've got a hardcore question about initrd... any taker? :P
[02:21] <unistyle> ubuntu gave it some generic driver that doesn't even let my screen saver run
[02:21] <htns> how can i change my keyboard layout like in windows where I can just do alt+left shift?
[02:22] <htns> I'm in keyboard, and I added the extra layout
[02:22] <wibou> muuuuh no one can answer my initrd questions :(
[02:23] <supersako> if i have ubuntu installed already and i just add kubuntu-desktop... is there a performance hit running kde this way? or will it be the same as if i uninstalled everything and just install kubuntu?
[02:24] <eugman> I got an ethernet card that ifconfig -a sees but seems to be down. Down do I get it working?
[02:25] <wibou> Supersako : out of disk space used, no performance lost at all
[02:25] <supersako> thanks
[02:25] <supersako> has kubuntu got better i am reading conflicted reports online ... most people are saying that it is not the best kde distro
[02:26] <wibou> supersako : its a matter of taste
[02:26] <Tm_T> supersako: if you ask from me, it is
[02:26] <kingpin> well.. I build madwifi from svn and I want to roll back to the madwifi that's included in linux-restricted-modules. can anyone help me with that?
[02:26] <wibou> eugman : are you using DHCP ?
[02:27] <wibou> eugman : or should you ?
[02:27] <supersako> is there anyway to get kubuntu with KDE4 from the repos..
[02:27] <eugman> wibou, I should be but it didn't auto cinfigure on install because of a faulty netowrk card
[02:27] <supersako> kubuntukde4-desktop
[02:27] <supersako> or something :P
[02:27] <Tm_T> supersako: just get KDE4
[02:27] <Dr_willis_> supersako,  check the topic in #kubuntu
[02:27] <Tm_T> supersako: there's no Kubuntu additions in it really yet ;)
[02:27] <Dr_willis_> supersako,  i would have to say give kde4 a pass for a while. Its a bit rough
[02:27] <eugman> wibou, and I don't know how to get dchp configured or any of that
[02:28] <Tm_T> Dr_willis_: no reasons to not to try
[02:28] <jscinoz> Hey guys, i just recently switched from the -386 to -generic kernel to get multicore support, my system boots, however it endlessly repeats something along the lines of "device-mapper, dm-linear device lookup failed" and fails to mount my home partition, i'm writing this from the livecd, and i've tried chrooting to my normal root partition and reinstalling grub and the kernel to no avail, what can i do?
[02:28] <Darkmystere_> How could i extend my Ubuntu partion Without using a live cd?
[02:28] <nablet> hello
[02:28] <Dr_willis_> Tm_T,  actually yes there are reasons.. :) it can screw up your system a bit...
[02:28] <unistyle> i need help installing a video driver...
[02:28] <Dr_willis_> Tm_T,  uninstalling kde4 can be a bit of a hassle.
[02:28] <Tm_T> Dr_willis_: aww, packages?
[02:28] <nablet> i have a Intel G965 can i have Direct 3d on it?
[02:29] <supersako> ya Dr.. i think ill hold off till 8.04 at least
[02:29] <Tm_T> Dr_willis_: umm, dunno about it, as I don't use package :-P
[02:29] <supersako> they plan on having KDE4 on it
[02:29] <wibou> eugman : humm wel you could first try to make the card to get up "by hand" using terminal... if it works, you should configure gnome or ubuntu itself to start dhcp by itself when it boot
[02:29] <Dr_willis_> Tm_T,  yep.  I had to remove kde4 just to get the apt system to a sane state again.
[02:29] <jscinoz> nablet, direct32 is a microsoft technology, you wont run it on linux, we use OpenGL here :P
[02:29] <jscinoz> direct3d*
[02:29] <Tm_T> Dr_willis_: sounds, err, interesting, anyway
[02:29] <supersako> i was reading 8.04 will have KDE4 but no long term support ;)
[02:29] <eugman> wibou, actually it's a server so all I have is terminal. The issue is I don't know what to run to get it up.
[02:29] <jscinoz> wine can translate direct3d calls to opengl realtime, thats how a bunch of windows games run on linux
[02:29] <nablet> jscinoz: oh :X
[02:30] <Dr_willis_> Tm_T,  best way to test - is with a live cd :)
[02:30] <Tm_T> true
[02:30] <nablet> jscinoz: i cant play wow cuz opengl is not working, can u help me?
[02:30] <jscinoz> yes, but im a bit distracted atm, my system is borked and im running off the live cd
[02:30] <jscinoz> ok
[02:30] <Dr_willis_> wow has opengl support I belive.  thats best to enable that for usibng it with wine.
[02:30] <facted> Hi all...I'm trying to compile evolution 2.21.5 and I get the following error message on ./configure: configure: error: GNU gettext tools not found; required for intltool

[02:30] <ubotu> The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[02:30] <jscinoz> nablet, have you installed the proper drivers for your card
[02:31] <nablet> jscinoz: they are default but i think they are the correct one
[02:31] <facted> what do I need to install to get the compile to work?
[02:31] <wibou> eugman : try : dhclient ethX (where ethX is the network card)
[02:31] <Darkmystere_> Well im having a Bit of a problem too.. It keeps saying OpenGL Cannot resize screen try ajusting resolution or somthing
[02:31] <jscinoz> nablet open a terminal and type "glxinfo | grep direct" and tell me what it says
[02:31] <limp> hi
[02:31] <kitche> facted: the gettext-dev tools
[02:31] <facted> thanks kitche, I'll try that out
[02:32] <shoeunited>  I have ubuntu gutsy, and I saw that the new 169.09 drivers are available.  Of course there's no support for gui installation yet.  I was wondering if someone could give me instructions to strangle gutsy into installing them?
[02:32] <nablet> jscinoz: direct rendering : yes
[02:32] <jscinoz> ok
[02:32] <sweetangel4you> someone to help me install sound blaster audigy extreme music please?
[02:32] <jscinoz> what command are you launching wow with?
[02:32] <nablet> jscinoz: wine wow.exe -opengl
[02:32] <jscinoz> Hey guys, i just recently switched from the -386 to -generic kernel to get multicore support, my system boots, however it endlessly repeats something along the lines of "device-mapper, dm-linear device lookup failed" and fails to mount my home partition, i'm writing this from the livecd, and i've tried chrooting to my normal root partition and reinstalling grub and the kernel to no avail, the partitions are all intact as verified under th
[02:32] <jscinoz> e live cd, and i've run fsck on all of them, what can i do?
[02:32] <eugman> wibou, looks good. Should I be concerned that it couldn't find resolve.conf?
[02:32] <jscinoz> nablet have you done the registry hack for opengl?
[02:33] <limp> i got a new laptop dell vostro. I'm resizing the windows partition to a smaller size to install ubuntu. But my question here is that i'd like to create a partition for storing the files so that I can access+modify them from both Operating systems. What type should i format in so that i can do that?
[02:33] <nablet> jscinoz: in the regedit?
[02:33] <unistyle> if i downloaded a driver from the internet, what should i type in the terminal to install it?
[02:33] <jscinoz> yes
[02:33] <nablet> jscinoz: yes i did
[02:33] <jscinoz> ok.
[02:33] <nemilar> limp: use NTFS
[02:33] <jscinoz> whats the exact error you get when you run wow
[02:33] <facted> kitche, where can I get that package from? it's not included in the sources in ubuntu?
[02:33] <Dr_willis_> unistyle,  totally depends on the driver and file.
[02:33] <nablet> jscinoz: wait i go show to u the screenshot
[02:33] <kitche> facted: from the repos libgettext-dev or something like that
[02:33] <jscinoz> nablet, also run glxgears and tell me if some spinning gears appear
[02:34] <shoeunited>  I have ubuntu gutsy, and I saw that the new 169.09 drivers are available.  Of course there's no support for gui installation yet.  I was wondering if someone could give me instructions to strangle gutsy into installing them?
[02:34] <limp> nemilar: on this computer, i can access windows files but I cannot modify them, will this happen again if I do a NFTS partition? (no OS on it, just file storing)
[02:34] <wibou> eugman  : hummm maybe... this mean you did not receive DNS configuration... unless your other card is getting this config or that you setted it by hand, you might not be able to resolve hostname
[02:34] <co_basket> hey da yang tau gak config wifi atheros d ubuntu gutsy
[02:34] <unistyle> graphics driver
[02:34] <nemilar> limp: linux can read/write ntfs, use the ntfs-config program to set those options
[02:34] <unistyle> i downloaded a couple differnt ones, but they are in a folder, and no indiual file will install
[02:34] <jscinoz> unistyle, what are the file names?
[02:34] <eugman> wibou, well I was able to ping google or so it looked
[02:35] <Dr_willis_> unistyle,  and what card  is this? we are having to pull teeth to get answers here... :)
[02:35] <nablet> jscinoz: http://img85.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1if4.png the screenshot :X
[02:35] <TrichomeKid> hey, can someone explain to me how I logon to a Windows computer to get shared files/
[02:35] <limp> nemilar, i get a "read only" error when I wish to modify files on windows from ubuntu. What is this ntfs-config program?

[02:37] <limp> nemilar, I do not have the choice for formating in NTFS under the ubuntu installator
[02:37] <nablet> jscinoz: ok
[02:37] <jscinoz> try it now
[02:37] <nemilar> limp: use the gparted livecd
[02:37] <kitche> facted: yes it's standard gettext but it's the source files for gettext so you can compile things that use it
[02:37] <unistyle> i don't understand how to get the drivers to work on my via chrome9 hc to work
[02:37] <Dr_willis_> !via

[02:37] <limp> nemilar, What's the gparted livecd? where can I get it ?
[02:37] <facted> I installed gettext, and that worked (I think)
[02:37] <genii> limp: If you install ntfsprogs the formatting ntfs will becoma an option

[02:38] <TrichomeKid> Dr_willis_: Yeah I got the drive mounted all that but the username/password just wont work

[02:38] <Some_Person> Flannel: that is for thunderbird 1.5, ubuntu has thunderbird2
[02:39] <jscinoz> Hey guys, i just recently switched from the -386 to -generic kernel to get multicore support, my system boots, however it endlessly repeats something along the lines of "device-mapper, dm-linear device lookup failed" and fails to mount my home partition, i'm writing this from the livecd, and i've tried chrooting to my normal root partition and reinstalling grub and the kernel to no avail, the partitions are all intact as verified under th
[02:39] <jscinoz> e live cd, and i've run fsck on all of them, what can i do?
[02:39] <wibou> I have a hardcore question on initrd... any real geek here?
[02:39] <genii> limp: If you install ntfsprogs to the livecd it will include the equivelent of mkfs.ntfs and gparted can then format in ntfs
[02:39] <nablet> jscinoz: alrite man
[02:39] <nemilar> jscinoz: I don't think anyone has an answer for you
[02:39] <nablet> jscinoz: i go check it :D
[02:39] <jscinoz> nemilar well ima keep asking because im stuck on a crippled liveCD until i can fix this device-mapper screwyness
[02:40] <Flannel> Some_Person: Not all of them; anyway, that theme is compatable with 2.0, you just have to change the version check to get it to work: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/discussions/comments.php?DiscussionID=711  has instructions on doing so.
[02:40] <nemilar> jscinoz: people are going to start complaining if you ask every two minutes...at least wait about 10 minutes or so
[02:40] <Flannel> MikeHuang: Whats your problem?
[02:40] <Dr_willis_> TrichomeKid,   You are going from linux --> to the windows share eh? well the gnome file manager has a toolto browse shares. or you could try the fusesmb tools --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb
[02:40] <MikeHuang> i use an alternate cd
[02:40] <Dr_willis_> TrichomeKid,  vista likes to block a lot of trafic also. it could be windows being a pain
[02:40] <TrichomeKid> yea i did the smb:// and the password isnt working
[02:40] <MikeHuang> the dialog just freezed,
[02:40] <TrichomeKid> nah, its XP
[02:40] <limp> genii, sorry i'm getting lost here.. So I should connect and get ntfs-config, then the option will be available in the Install program of the livecd ? or do I have to burn gparted on a cd, partition the disk, and then run the install?
[02:40] <Flannel> MikeHuang: which dialog?
[02:40] <nablet> jscinoz: i cant connect now lol T_T
[02:41] <TrichomeKid> hmmm
[02:41] <TrichomeKid> ill try that fusesmb
[02:41] <MikeHuang> and print out"Checking package manager"
[02:41] <Some_Person> Flannel: doesn't work, produces 2 toolbars
[02:41] <jscinoz> nablet, did you install wow off the dvd/cd, or from the download?
[02:41] <Flannel> Some_Person: Alright.

[02:42] <pavs> hi can I look at virtual-console 8 (tty8) without actually logging into tty8 by ctrl+alt+f8 ?
[02:42] <foojunkie> Hello
[02:43] <genii> limp: As I currently understand: You are on a livecd and wanting to partition an ntfs partition then format it from inside gparted... if so, then on the livecd use the package installer to install ntfsprogs not ntfs-config. Then after it finishes run the installer and gparted should be able then to format the ntfs partition in ntfs filesystem. If you have another situation please state more clearly what it is.
[02:43] <nablet> jscinoz: doesnt connect, like no internet

[02:45] <x3n0> does anyone know if ubuntu plays well with quad core socketFs and nVidia Tesla units...?
[02:45] <limp> genii, No, I actually do not have gparted (that was nemilar's suggestion). I am running the install from ubuntu livecd at the Partitioning stage, and I'd like to create a separate partition on which i could access+modify files from windows and linux. I was advised to format this partition in NTFS, but this option does not show in the option list.
[02:45] <AngryElf> what package do I need in order to encode h263?
[02:45] <newusergreen> i have a hard drive problem can anyone help me?

[02:47] <pavs> nikrud: yes regarding what?
[02:47] <nemilar> hey is it against the rules to rickroll someone in here?
[02:47] <pavs> nickrud: yes regarding what?
[02:47] <jscinoz> nablet, also pastebin your wowdir/realmlist.wtf
[02:47] <MikeHuang> Flannel:Dialog title is "DIstribution Upgrade",below that is "UPgrade ubuntu to version 7.10"
[02:47] <genii> limp: But if you wanted some shared partition between the two use instead a regular linux partition with ext3 or ext2 filesystem. then from xp/vista/w2k install the ext filesystem driver
[02:48] <Pici> nemilar: This is a support channel. Please stay on topic.
[02:48] <nemilar> lol
[02:48] <nickrud> yes you can look at tty8 with ctl-atl-f8 without actually logging in there
[02:48] <nablet> jscinoz: set realmlist eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
[02:48] <nablet> set patchlist eu.version.worldofwarcraft.com
[02:48] <jscinoz> k. sec
[02:48] <krammer> I am trying to config the x11/org file so I can use dual monitors
[02:48] <pavs> nickrud: how?
[02:48] <Flannel> MikeHuang: and its frozen?
[02:48] <MikeHuang> at the bottom is "checking package manager"
[02:48] <MikeHuang> yes...
[02:48] <nickrud> pavs: hit  ctl-alt-f8 . You will be looking at tty8  clt-alt-f7 to return
[02:49] <newusergreen> so what do i have to do to use my extra drive and still keep the data
[02:49] <MikeHuang> I rerun the process in a terminal, you want the output?
[02:49] <jscinoz> nablet try http://pastebin.com/m1c547ce0, you shouldnt have your realm details in config.wtf
[02:49] <hidox> l
[02:49] <limp> genii, and that I assume would make me able to access files on linux from windows without making a shared partition? This would be exellent, as long as I don't get the "read only" error when I try to modify files on windows from linux. (i use linux 90% of the time)

[02:51] <Gamma-X> how do i change my display driver?
[02:51] <pavs> nickrud thanks thats what I needed

[02:51] <jscinoz> nablet, if you need to contact me add me on msn: jscinoz@gmail.com, yahoo: jscinoz, aim: jscinoz
[02:51] <genii> limp: The windows ext driver is very good. And it is better to use an open source filesystem as well when possible like ext2 or ext3. But a separate partition for it is a good thing, instead of sharing your / with windows, messy things could happen by accident that way
[02:51] <nickrud> pavs: a better answer .. ah you read though my terseness, cool
[02:51] <jscinoz> nablet or jscinoz on crushridge-US
[02:52] <Gamma-X> how do i change my display driver?
[02:52] <pavs> nickrud thanks mate :)
[02:52] <genii> limp: http://www.fs-driver.org/     is where the Windows ext driver is
[02:52] <limp> genii, ok thank you. I will setup that shared partition in that case. Where do I get these ext3 drivers? (what difference between ext2 and 3?)
[02:52] <limp> genii, thank you
[02:53] <newusergreen> .
[02:53] <tecie1980> nm, found it... I had to add "notification area to the" menu bar.
[02:53] <limp> genii, these drivers seem to be for x86 processors only, I have an intel 2 duo core
[02:53] <newusergreen> hard drive help. hard drive is in right. as slave. i have data on it and i would like to write to the drive. i can read but not right
[02:53] <genii> limp: The difference between ext2 and ext3 is that ext3 has journalling, which makes it a bit faster to recover things or do filesystem checks. Otherwise they are very similar and can be converted to and from each other as well
[02:54] <genii> limp: x86 is the right one you need :)
[02:54] <Matir> Does anyone here use a personal media player with their ubuntu install?  I'm looking for something flash-based that handles both audio and video.
[02:55] <limp> genii, Oh so did I also get the wrong ubuntu installation cd? i got the 64 bit
[02:55] <newusergreen> i cant write to slave drive
[02:56] <MikeHuang> Flannel:I asked my question(FloodBot1),what should I do then?I am not familiar with IRC
[02:56] <CrazyWulf> Where can I change the way some windowed apps/games always open in the upper left corner? Er how could I at least move them a little
[02:56] <Flannel> !paste | MikeHuang
[02:56] <ubotu> MikeHuang: 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)
[02:56] <genii> limp: If you got the wrong cd it would not get to the install part. But "x86" is just a designation for intel-based. 32 bit app should run fine even on a 64 bit XP for instance
[02:56] <orangey> chandler
[02:56] <orangey> oops : )
[02:57] <limp> genii, so the correct cd would be the x86? I would rather install the appropriate installation. Thanks for your help :)
[02:57] <newusergreen> i can read but not write do my drive what can i do to make it write
[02:57] <jscinoz> lol you guys can burn i fixed it meslf :D
[02:57] <jscinoz> nablet i r back and i bring direct rendering :D
[02:58] <newusergreen> does anyone know anything about hard drives?
[02:58] <Flannel> !anyone | newusergreen
[02:58] <ubotu> newusergreen: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:58] <genii> limp: Either one will run on a 64 bit machine so it does not really matter. If you got the x86_64 it will run, if you got the i386 it will also run
[02:58] <jscinoz> ummm why is my glxgears framerate MUCH higher with compiz running than with metacity >_<

[03:00] <Flannel> MikeHuang: Its alright, we don't need it.  Are you currently up to date with 7.04?

[03:05] <faianca> jscinoz: fps are really slow :X
[03:05] <bazhang> limp yes it is
[03:05] <genii> limp: if core2 then yes
[03:05] <th0r> Mfaleo I am afraid Matir is right...there isn't any way to undo an rm *
[03:05] <heatmzzr> I've been running ubuntu for a few weeks all by itself but i want to add a small windows partition, how do i dual boot? or how do i install winxp
[03:05] <newusergreen> cant write to slave drive
[03:06] <jscinoz> faianca in what?
[03:06] <misslecommander> did they change the XORG setup ? CtrlAltF1 from login looked different, compared to when i had done it from within GnomeX
[03:06] <faianca> jscinoz: in wow :X
[03:06] <limp> Thanks all :)
[03:06] <genii> limp: The 64 bit one will just refuse to operate if you have a 32 bit core anyhow
[03:06] <cprmpt> Hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu.  Ive used it a lot before and I'm mostly using it for programming and stuff, but I'm having a bit of a problem under standing how the whole 'theme' thing is handled
[03:06] <faianca> jscinoz: really slow :(
[03:06] <jscinoz> wait faianca = nablet?
[03:06] <cprmpt> understanding*
[03:06] <faianca> jscinoz: yeah sorry :x
[03:06] <CrazyWulf> I just hit some kind of hotkey...   Looks liked it changed the theme from default into a high contrast look.    I don't see any theme settings in the configuration and under colors it shows my background should still be white (but it's black now) ..       How can I change it back? :/
[03:06] <Tm_T> root___: are we rooted now?
[03:06] <newusergreen> i have a hard drive installed but i cant write to it. i can read but not write
[03:06] <xen_> Hey im trying to install the skype .deb package, but it keeps telling me that theres already another synaptic running(but im using kubuntu-adept) wtf?
[03:06] <faianca> jscinoz: ii need to reboot cuz crashed
[03:06] <CrazyWulf> For Konversation
[03:06] <misslecommander> genii: visa-versa
[03:07] <cprmpt> Earlier, I had installed the emerald theme manager, and downloaded/installed a few themes, but when I selected them, nothing changed whatsoever
[03:07] <jscinoz> faianca add me on msn/yahoo/aim to talk about it, not paying much attention to this channel, because imt alking in #perl
[03:07] <Tm_T> DjBones: you know you shouldn't irc as root, right?
[03:07] <Flannel> xen_: close any update-managers, adept, aptitude, apt-get whatever that you have runnign
[03:07] <faianca> jscinoz: what is ur msn?
[03:07] <jscinoz> jscinoz@gmail.com
[03:07] <limp> genii, ok. Well that should answer all my questions for the moment, thanks a lot for helping me out :)
[03:07] <xen_> Flannel theres no update managers running, i even rebooted to make sure
[03:07] <bod_> CrazyWulf, try pressing super+m
[03:07] <misslecommander> genii: misread
[03:07] <xen_> Flannel now it keeps crashing, signal or something like that
[03:07] <newusergreen> how can i make ubuntu write to ntfs 3.1?
[03:07] <Mfaleo> just to make sure, i ram this "rm * vmware" intending to remove anything with " vmware" as a postfix, this was interpreted as rm *, correct? I saw it display every directory in there saying it couldn't delete it because its a directory, so that means any free files in the directory are removed, correct?
[03:08] <Tm_T> Mfaleo: noooo
[03:08] <faianca> jscinoz: already added u
[03:08] <Flannel> xen_: Alright, well if youre sure theres nothing running, delete /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[03:08] <bod_> Mfaleo, remove the space from the * and vmware
[03:08] <Mfaleo> thats not what i asked
[03:08] <xxpor> hey is anyone having trouble installing amarok right now?
[03:08] <CrazyWulf> bod_,   "Super"?
[03:09] <xen_> Flannel cool ill try that ty
[03:09] <Mfaleo> the command is executed, i could care less at this point how to do it right
[03:09] <bod_> CrazyWulf, super= windows key
[03:09] <CrazyWulf> Oh
[03:09] <bod_> xxpor, wots up?
[03:09] <genii> CrazyWulf: The one with the windows thingy on it
[03:09] <CrazyWulf> Thank you :)
[03:09] <CrazyWulf> hehe
[03:09] <CrazyWulf> Worked
[03:09] <Mfaleo> executing the command as i did, did infact remove all files in the directory in question, correct?
[03:09] <th0r> Mfaleo have you looked to see what was deleted?
[03:09] <bod_> CrazyWulf, its a compiz setting ,.,. its called the negative plugin i think
[03:09] <Mfaleo> i havent touched the PC in hopes that i can undelete somehow
[03:09] <xxpor> bod_, E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/amarok/amarok-xine_1.4.8-0ubuntu1~gutsy1_i386.deb: Size mismatch
[03:10] <Mfaleo> is there any way to do a undelete recover on the directory?
[03:10] <heatmzzr> I've been running ubuntu for a few weeks all by itself but i want to add a small windows partition, how do i dual boot? or how do i install winxp
[03:10] <Dagger86> Has anyone experienced Konquerer crashing in Kubuntu?
[03:10] <th0r> Mfaleo that's been answered twice
[03:10] <bod_> xxpor, r u using terminal or synaptic?
[03:10] <Flannel> heatmzzr: Just pop the XP CD and go.  You'll need to fix GRUB afterwards, first link here...

[03:10] <xen_> Flannel same thing is happening dude
[03:10] <bod_> xxpor, was that the complete error message?
[03:11] <Mfaleo> linux is a god damn useless piece of shit

[03:12] <xen_> bod no im not
[03:12] <Dagger86> Has anybody encountered this error message with the Konquerer web browser ( SIGSEVG )
[03:12] <xen_> cause i rebooted to make sure
[03:12] <xen_> im not dl nothing
[03:13] <linuxpoet> anybody here using bluetooth?
[03:13] <xen_> id be well aware if i was
[03:13] <bod_> xen_, thats wot that error means
[03:13] <dehspehl> Dagger86: nspluginwrapper causes seg faults for me
[03:13] <xen_> i realise that
[03:13] <xen_> but thats not what is happening
[03:13] <dehspehl> Dagger86: but doesn't take down konqueror itself. i assume konqueror is crashing, right?
[03:13] <D> hi guys, I got my ctrl key stuck.  I think what did it was alt f4.  someone suggested alt f7, but that didn't work.  I've even tried booting from a live cd and its the same story there too?  Any suggestions?
[03:13] <limp> If I am creating a shared partition with no OS installed would ext2 be better?
[03:14] <Dagger86> dehspehl: Yes exactly right
[03:14] <xen_> Flannel : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52969/
[03:14] <xen_> ^^ thats ps aux
[03:14] <bod_> xxpor, i can only suggest using synaptic instead ,.,. im using terminal to get amarok now and im having no probs, but i dont understand that error.,.,. use synaptic
[03:14] <CrazyWulf>  Is there a way I can change the way windowed apps/games show up?   They're always popping up in the upper left part of the screen....I'd like to be able to move them around
[03:14] <dappermuis> anyone know much about gpg and encryption?
[03:15] <CrazyWulf> nvm
[03:15] <bod_> carzyw do u mean the whole applications tab?
[03:15] <Flannel> xen_: alright, lets do this.  Open up a konsole, and do sudo apt-get update, what error does it give? (should just be one line)
[03:15] <bod_> CrazyWulf, do u mean the whole applications tab?
[03:15] <limp> If I am creating a shared partition with no OS installed would ext2 be better?
[03:15] <xxpor> ok ill try, thanks bod_
[03:15] <dehspehl> bod_: I think he meant windowless/fullscreen games which just draw to the root window
[03:15] <bod_> xxpor,  no probs
[03:16] <xen_> Flannel i got this at the end of the fetch list: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[03:16] <CrazyWulf> bod_  Yeah I got it, figured out holding down alt lets me move them :)   Thanks anyways

[03:16] <bod_> ok

[03:16] <bod_> dehspehl, cheers
[03:16] <Flannel> xen_: alright, go ahead and make it happy.  Looks like something got interrupted in a previous session, and stuff didn't get cleaned up properly
[03:16] <xen_> ah kk
[03:16] <dappermuis> is it possible to delete old pgp keys from the public key server?
[03:17] <D> my ctrl key is stuck.  alt f7 didn't unstick it.  Anybody know how to get it unstuck?
[03:17] <Flannel> dappermuis: revocation certificate
[03:17] <th0r> dappermuis no...you revoke them
[03:17] <xen_> Flannel Aha! yup thanks heaps dude that was it, looks like it crashed whilst mid way installing some updates from yesterday lol
[03:17] <xen_> tyvm
[03:17] <bod_> CrazyWulf, u can just click+hold on the top bar of the game to drag it about
[03:17] <limp> genii, what would you suggest for a shared partition if there is not OS installed? ext2 or 3 ?
[03:17] <dappermuis> Flannel, th0r: i already deleted them locally, but i don't think i create revocation certs
[03:18] <Ashnal> Can anyone here help me with a crackling sound issue?
[03:18] <genii> limp: ext3
[03:18] <xen_> dweller-in-peace xnet is pretty good isp huh lol :P
[03:18] <cafuego> limp: shared between what and what?
[03:19] <limp> cafuego, Windows and linux.
[03:19] <cafuego> limp: FAT32
[03:19] <genii> cafuego: There are a few reasons ext3 and not fat is better
[03:19] <cafuego> Windows can read ext2/ext3... but fat32 support is a lot more mature on both :-)
[03:19] <th0r> dappermuis http://dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto-3.html
[03:19] <limp> cafuego, omg. I got NTFS, ext3, now FAT32, I am really lost now lmao
[03:19] <dehspehl> though if you have Windows Vista forget about ext2 support
[03:20] <bod_> how can i have 2 applications using sound at the same time ,.,. eg a game and amarok,.,. my sound card doesnt support sound mixing
[03:20] <limp> windows XP, i'm not up for vista
[03:20] <genii> dehspehl: The ext driver from fs-driver.org works on vista, i use it sometimes
[03:20] <cafuego> limp: fat32 is the lowest common denominator. It's ubiquitous and supported by everything. However, there are file size limits and it does not support Linux file permissions.
[03:20] <SeveredCross> bod_: Make sure both are using ALSA would be a good step.
[03:20] <SeveredCross> Sometimes, you can try launching the game with the aoss wrapper
[03:20] <dehspehl> genii: ahh, might need that. my system is totally screwed up (only runs Vista now)
[03:20] <bod_> SeveredCross, yep done that
[03:20] <dappermuis> th0r: thanks
[03:21] <bod_> SeveredCross, i have to launch some games with cedega though
[03:21] <cafuego> limp: Windows can access ext2/ext3 with the driver genii mentions, but that reads and writes as root... and you're talkign windows here, I wouldn't trust it.
[03:21] <genii> limp: fat32 as shared used to make sense. But since it needs to be defragged and scanned occasionally and also cannot support permissions or files over 4Gb ext2 or ext3 is better for shared
[03:21] <Ashnal> Can anyone help me solve an issue where my sound cracles for games?
[03:21] <interbutt> hey how do i install lynx on ubuntu gutsy gibbon?
[03:21] <SeveredCross> bod_: Maybe aoss cedega?
[03:22] <cafuego> limp: NTFS write support in Linux is relatively new, and I've heard too many stores about people writing to it from Linxu and destroying it.
[03:22] <th0r> interbutt  apt-get install lynx?
[03:22] <bazhang> !info lynx
[03:22] <interbutt> the text browser
[03:22] <Starnestommy> interbutt: sudo apt-get install lynx?
[03:22] <ubotu> lynx (source: lynx): Text-mode WWW Browser. In component main, is optional. Version 2.8.6-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 1138 kB, installed size 4860 kB
[03:22] <bod_> SeveredCross, kk cheers
[03:22] <genii> cafuego: LOL well at least we're in agreement not to use ntfs
[03:22] <interbutt> oh i'll try that
[03:22] <cafuego> limp: So... unless you need to store files over 4Gb in size, go fat32. otherwise, ext3.
[03:22] <thomas_> I'm relatively new to Ubuntu, and was wondering if there were any rules of thumb to follow for partitioning the hard drive. I'm wanting to have a separate /home partition, if that helps any.
[03:22] <adrakoa> hi
[03:22] <Matir> thomas_, how big is your hard drive?
[03:23] <limp> Oktanouc_, I need read/write permissions from both OS's, it has to be stable. I only use windows occasionally. Files are not over 4gb exept for large downloads
[03:23] <thomas_> 160 GB
[03:23] <bod_> adrakoa, hi
[03:23] <cafuego> genii: I've had the ext2 driver zero the odd file. it's fine for reading, but writing was not great last time I use it.
[03:23] <Matir> thomas_, I would probably set aside ~20-25 GB for / and the rest for /home.
[03:23] <interbutt> cool it's working thanks
[03:23] <Tixer> For some reason, everything on ubuntu that I'd do no longer works, and I get a huge error:
[03:23] <Tixer> sudo rm -R /etc/samba/
[03:23] <Tixer> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[03:23] <genii> cafuego: I have had no issues with it myself.
[03:24] <Tixer> Can anyone tell me what's wrong, and why I'm getting that error?
[03:24] <Ashnal> can anyone help me with crackling sound?
[03:24] <cafuego> genii: If I hadn't, I'd be happy to recommend it too.
[03:24] <thomas_> Alright. Thank you. Since I do have a running install, would it be alright to boot into the LiveCD and move my /home partition to put the free space at the end of the drive next to my / partition?
[03:24] <genii> limp: If no files over 4Gb (dvd isos etc) and you will be keeping windows to occasionally go in and scandisk/defrag it then go fat32 if you like

[03:24] <limp> It will only be files such as mp3, php scripts, pictures and so but in very large amounts
[03:25] <john> hey i did sudo apt-get install lynx now how do i run it or is there still more to do?
[03:25] <john> john = interbutt (lol)
[03:25] <bod_> Ashnal, sorry ive tried fixing that 4,. im not to good with sound
[03:25] <JDLimbo> hello
[03:25] <bod_> JDLimbo, hi
[03:25] <Starnestommy> john: type 'lynx' in a terminal
[03:25] <john> okay
[03:25] <Matir> thomas_, I'm not sure I understand
[03:25] <john> yay it works thanks bye
[03:25] <genii> limp: As you can tell this topic is still in much debate over which method is better, etc :) So just choose a way and use it, if unsatisfactory, try the other way afterwards.
[03:25] <JDLimbo> if I you were having problems with firefox crashing, and sometimes freezing everything along with it, what would you check first?
[03:25] <limp> I'll go with FAT32, so I wont have to install drivers. Is that correct?
[03:25] <Ashnal> bod_: well it only crackles when im running certain programs
[03:26] <bod_> JDLimbo, i'd reinstall firefox from synaptic
[03:26] <bazhang> must one append an ampersand when running things from the terminal to retain use of said terminal?
[03:26] <bod_> Ashnal, which programs?
[03:26] <limp> genii, I think it's an interesting debate :) I'll try with fat. I can still backup on external HD and format to ext3 then
[03:26] <Ashnal> bod_:games
[03:26] <bod_> bazhang, YES
[03:26] <genii> limp: Correct, FAT32 requires no drivers on either side
[03:26] <bod_> Ashnal, let me google it
[03:26] <bazhang> bod_: cheers!
[03:27] <thomas_> I have an existing install of Ubuntu (which I'm on right now) with ~10 GB / partition, ~120 GB /home partition, and then ~20 GB free. Will it cause problems if I reboot onto the LiveCD, and use GParted to move my /home partition to after the free space to expand my / partition?
[03:27] <limp> genii, what about mount point? if it is shared should I leave blank? (and for my linux partition, thus, "/")
[03:27] <JDLimbo> bod_, ok, will try that and see if problem persists
[03:27] <Matir> thomas_, no, gparted should be safe, but I would (as I always would) make sure a backup is prepared
[03:28] <bod_> JDLimbo, let me no wot happens
[03:28] <thomas_> Of course. Thank you, Matir.
[03:28] <genii> limp: for a shared partition usually it will be someplace like /media/shared          but since that dir is not made yet leave it blank
[03:28] <JDLimbo> but I meant, would it leave an error message in /var/log somewhere?
[03:28] <JDLimbo> it's somewhat erratic
[03:28] <Matir> thomas_, no problem.
[03:29] <genii> limp: The os should see it during first boot and mount it as a foreign filesystem automatically someplace
[03:29] <limp> genii, "/" for the ubuntu installation. How does ubuntu know where to install the OS?
[03:29] <tsrk> How would I go about setting up a WebDav server?
[03:29] <heatmzzr> hey i need help, ive used ubuntu for awhile, want to create a small windoes partition, do i need to do something to first allocate room for windows or just put in the disk and install, I DO NOT want to screw up ubuntu.
[03:30] <limp> genii, should I make a swap partition between the NTFS (windows), FAT32 (shared) and my ext3 (linux)?
[03:30] <genii> limp: the "/" for ubuntu root is equiv of c:\    in windows world. Earlier you should have partitioned part of a disk for this it would have been something like sda2 sda3 or such name.
[03:31] <bod_> Ashnal, type alsamixer in the terminal and tell me wot u see
[03:31] <Ashnal> bod_ Any luck?
[03:31] <genii> limp: a better place for swap is at end of drive and not between two active sections with os on them
[03:31] <tritium> bod_: still using your AIM-speak, I see
[03:31] <walkies> is it possible to backport a newer version of X11 into ubuntu?
[03:31] <sethk> genii, in general, that's not true
[03:31] <sethk> genii, in general, between two partitions is better
[03:31] <sethk> genii, because the average head travel time is greatly reduced
[03:31] <Ashnal> bod_ ive already played with alsamixer a lot and currently i have all channels muted except the one that i need
[03:32] <sethk> genii, many systems deliberately use centered partitions for swap
[03:32] <SeveredCross> Centered partitions?
[03:32] <SeveredCross> As in, centered physically on the drive?
[03:33] <sethk> SeveredCross, right
[03:33] <genii> sethk: Traditionally the start of drive, because access times are slightly shorter there. but since swap partition gets a lot of hard use. So if it starts degrading the drive and positioned at end of one active os partition or beginning of an active os partition it's less damaging

[03:33] <tsrk> SeveredCross: Between two active partitions
[03:33] <limp> genii, ok so I don't need any swap. This is my first boot on livecd, no ubuntu installation exists yet. I added two partitions (at the "Prepare partitions" step of the installation). /dev/sda6 fat32 100gb and /dev/sda7 "/" 30gb
[03:33] <dappermuis> I deleted my gpg key pair using "gpg --delete-secret-and-public-key." Is there any way that I can now revoke it from the keyserver having not created a revocation certificate?
[03:33] <sethk> genii, well, in modern systems swap is rarely heavily used.  Nevertheless, you are wrong
[03:33] <sethk> genii, even if heavily used, seek time greatly dwarfs other factors
[03:33] <SeveredCross> I have 2 GB of RAM but 3 GB of swap for hibernation purposes.

[03:34] <sethk> tsrk, in general, a bit more, although it won't always be used
[03:34] <bod_> hey guys ,.,. in windows u could make a virtual memory swap folder to increase ur ram,.,. can u do this in ubuntu?
[03:34] <sethk> bod_, yes
[03:34] <tsrk> Ok, thanks
[03:34] <heatmzzr> thanks folks
[03:35] <nemilar> bod_: that's what the swap partition is for
[03:35] <sethk> bod_, won't have the performance of a swap partition, but you can do it.
[03:35] <CrazyWulf> Hmm....   My minimize/maximize/close buttons are missing from my windows..... How do I get them back? :(
[03:35] <nemilar> bod_: but swap doesn't increase the amount of RAM you have
[03:35] <bod_> nemilar, but it will speed my computer up a bit yer?
[03:35] <sethk> CrazyWulf, window manager configuration
[03:35] <nemilar> bod_: no
[03:35] <bod_> nemilar, so wot does it do?
[03:36] <genii> limp: So if all partitions are allocated, you can proceed to the next step where it formats, etc
[03:36] <sethk> bod_, in the file system, quite likely not
[03:36] <nemilar> bod_: using swap is slower than using RAM, since swap is on the hard drive, and hard drives are slow
[03:36] <sethk> bod_, allows you to run very large programs
[03:36] <nemilar> bod_: it allows applications to use more memory
[03:36] <Ashnal> bod_ it looks exactly like that, and i am using the CA0106
[03:36] <jcsmith> hi all, anybody have any idea why i can't get any audible beeps from gnome-terminal, the option is checked in the terminal preferences as well as system->preferences->sound
[03:36] <rpdillon> So, has the power management situation improved for the MacBook crowd with Gutsy?  I'm still a VMWare refugee...

[03:36] <nemilar> =)
[03:36] <bod_> Ashnal, kk 1 sec
[03:37] <limp> So do I add swap paritions betweens these partitions? right now I have fat16, ntfs, fat32 (shared), ext3, fat32 (the two first fats are very small space, came installed like that)
[03:37] <flamsmark> i'm having a problem successfully installing ubuntu with the alternate install disk. I have been trying to install with an encrypted root on a raid5 array, and /boot on a separate disk. i put one partition on each of three large disks, marking each as physical volumes for raid. then i made a raid volume, and used that as a physical volume for lvm. in that lvm, was one lvg with one logical volume, spanning the whole space, m
[03:37] <flamsmark> arked as a physical volume for encryption. in the encrypted volume, i put another lvg with two volumes, one for the root and one for the swap. at the end of another hdd, i put a 255mb /boot partition. the bootloader that the disk automagically installed was grub. when rebooting after the installation, i get an 'error loading operating system'. what am i doing wrong?
[03:37] <hdevalence> I'm installing apt-build, but my architecture is not on the list
[03:37] <Tetracomm> Hi.

[03:38] <Tetracomm> Does anyone know of any AIM clients which can work in Ubuntu which support voice conversations?
[03:38] <bod_> Ashnal, google talks about something called DXS which can be the cause of crackling sound ,.,. but i dont think it would be program-specific
[03:38] <pavs> ok let me try
[03:38] <bod_> Ashnal, have u always had this problem?
[03:39] <Vadi> Can anyone recommend me any RAM management programs in Ubuntu?
[03:39] <Ashnal> bod_ yes, ive been using ubuntu for about 4 days now, and its been driving me nuts
[03:39] <nemilar> Vadi: how do you mean?
[03:39] <bod_> Ashnal, distro?
[03:39] <majd> hey, my Screen Resolution screen doesn't have 1024x768..how can i fix that?
[03:39] <Ashnal> bod_ feisty
[03:40] <faianca> how can i install new version of opengl ?
[03:40] <nemilar> majd: it's probably not listed in your xorg.conf file
[03:40] <limp> genii, I get a msg after continuing "No mount point is assigned for fat32 file system in partition #6 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda). If you do not go back to the partitionning menu and assign a mount point from there, this partition will not be used at all
[03:40] <bod_> Ashnal, i have only used gutsy so im not sure,.,. thought about upgrading?
[03:40] <Ashnal> bod_ oops im using 7.10 whichever that is
[03:40] <Vadi> nemilar: Some program to manage my ram more efficiently.. like shut down unused libraries and such. Because I find that if I close down all apps, I still won't get all the ram I'd have as if I'd reboot. And with only 512ram, running gnome+kde, everything counts
[03:40] <bod_> Ashnal, gutsy
[03:40] <dcmorton> is there anyone here who knows how to setup an encrypted LVM with 2 hard disks?
[03:41] <sdfowes> who wants to look at some k3b debugging info? got problem burning dvd data. fails at 0%
[03:41] <bod_> Ashnal, actually ,.,. i get the crackling occasionally,.,. but mine is very mild so i dont really hear it
[03:41] <hanophix34> my comp freezes when i go to youtube
[03:41] <genii> limp: We can't assign yet one since / is not made or formatted. So leave it
[03:41] <astro76> Vadi: you'll find your ram is being used by cache, and will be freed when needed, no "management" apps needed

[03:41] <pavs> thanks guys installing openssh worked :)
[03:42] <Vadi> nemilar: well, there are similar tools in windows.. I thought I wouldn't need here but it looks like I do

[03:42] <nemilar> Vadi: if you run kde apps in gnome, for example, even if you close the kde apps, the libraries still remain open unless you kill them
[03:42] <misslecommander> youtube dont even show anything for me
[03:42] <Vadi> nemilar: I can also close down all apps, and still have like 400mb of swap space in use, haha.
[03:42] <nemilar> Vadi: you can use top to see which apps are using the most memory
[03:42] <Dee> can someone tell me if Virtual Box can run my XP install that is on one of my HD's?

[03:47] <mandelson> Im runjing ubuntu 7.10 and im having wifi connection issues.. how do i fix this
[03:47] <genii> limp: Use your own discretion. I prefer them at the end of drives. But as sethk indicated many prefer it in the middle of the drive.
[03:47] <McNutella> nickserv says all names I use are regged, but its impossible
[03:47] <Tixer> fsck?
[03:47] <Dee> is there an app out there that can run my existing XP install kind of like Virtual Box?
[03:47] <Vadi> Dee: What you'd need to do is install Windows in Virtualbox, setup a shared folder between Ubuntu and Virtualbox, then copy the windows files over into that shared folder for the windows in virtualbox to see them.

[03:48] <limp> genii, 500mb size?
[03:48] <tritium> McNutella: consider it a warning
[03:48] <genii> limp: A good size is something like your RAM size or multiples of it
[03:49] <misslecommander> sdfowes: if i buy 100 cr-r there is sure to be fails in there, goes to show, you get what you pay for. cheap discs = lost burns at high speeds
[03:49] <ramza3> I have a command in rc.local and there is a the /etc/rc*/S99rc.local ...but the command doesnt seem to start; when I run the command manually after I have logged in, it starts.  what do you think.
[03:49] <misslecommander> sdfowes: cheap discs 10 out 100 can fail, better discs 1 out 100 fail
[03:49] <Tixer> I'm getting segfaults on just about everything I do. Can someone tell me what to do to stop them?
[03:50] <Starnestommy> Tixer: it could be a problem with libc

[03:50] <mandelson> well ive run lspci and i cant find my wifi card and ive done iwconfig and my wireless card isnt installed...... iv used the ubuntu help site and that didnt help me at all... so i came here

[03:50] <nails> ramza3: could be enviroment varibles/settings that exist while you are logged in but not via startup. What process are you trying to start?
[03:50] <misslecommander> sdfowes: stress usually, not always
[03:50] <bod_> LDS_Trooper, cp

[03:50] <limp> genii, I've got 2gb RAM DDR2, what would you pick? 2gb swap size or 4gb ?
[03:51] <majd> nickrud: but then it doesn't do anything
[03:51] <LDS_Trooper> cp isn't working for directories tho
[03:51] <ramza3> nails, just php
[03:51] <Starnestommy> LDS_Trooper: cp -R?
[03:51] <bod_> LDS_Trooper, ask nickrud
[03:51] <misslecommander> sdfowes: type /list for list of channels
[03:51] <nickrud> majd: try full path names
[03:51] <mandelson> iv looked there and it still didnt help i followed it step by step and none of the packages have worked
[03:51] <bazhang> sdfowes: likely not a k3b issue; more likely is burn speed media quality as misslecommander points out
[03:51] <genii> limp: 2Gb should be fine then
[03:51] <Tixer> Even if I reboot or w/e, I'm still getting segfaults when I run certain programs
[03:51] <majd> nickrud: full path name for what?

[03:52] <Dee> is there an app out there that can run my existing XP install kind of like Virtual Box?
[03:53] <limp> genii, no mount point right?
[03:53] <nails> ramza3: You can try putting in a debug statment of sorts to see if the script is even being executed. Also check your syslog files for errors.

[03:54] <sdfowes> blanks and bads
[03:54] <bod_> Ashnal, il keep looking if i find something il tell u
[03:54] <Ashnal> bod_ alright, in the mean time i think ill mess with the settings for my onboard sound and try that
[03:54] <misslecommander> sdfowes: not sure how linux looks at them, but blank and bad burns may be considered invalid media
[03:54] <nickrud> ramza3: use the full path names, like /usr/local/bin/lighttp (although I wonder why you're not using the ubuntu provided lighttp
[03:54] <ramza3> nickrud, trying to get the latest and greatest
[03:55] <ramza3> nickrud, works fine, just doesn't startup on boot
[03:55] <nickrud> !latest
[03:55] <ubotu> A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.
[03:55] <misslecommander> sdfowes: if you fail a burm, wing the disc like a frisbee, as it is no good
[03:55] <Darkmystere_> How could i host a ftp from My Computer that has Ubuntu Gusty on it its annoying finding File and Folder Hosting sites especially folder hosting is hard to find how would i set that up?

[03:55] <pingu> why does linux make my wireless so much weaker
[03:56] <misslecommander> sdfowes: put them in microwave. atleast you get a lightning show for your money

[03:57] <ramza3> nickrud, can I  uninstall the lighttpd from the site and just using apt.  Or would apt just overwrite what I did.
[03:57] <bazhang> :{
[03:57] <sdfowes> anyways, anyone have driver issues that makes dmesg go beserk like this? http://pastebin.com/m2e42966f
[03:57] <nickrud> ramza3: when you configured lighttpd, where did you tell it to install?
[03:58] <bod_> Ashnal, ive found loads of things similar to do with music but i cant find a single post about crackling because of games,.,. wot games exactly make crackling noises?
[03:58] <Dee> can someone tell me if there's an app out there that can boot up my existing XP install kind of like Virtual Box, running it within Ubuntu?
[03:58] <genii> sdfowes: Your hard drive controller seems to be failing/bad or not recognised properly
[03:58] <ramza3> nickrud, looks like /usr/sbin/lighttpd  (whatever the defaults are)
[03:58] <Ashnal> bod_ its an open source RTS by the name of spring
[03:59] <bod_> Dee, that would be weird,.,.lol,.,. et me no if u find one
[03:59] <bazhang> Dee: there are several vm options out there; vmware as well as several others
[03:59] <bod_> Ashnal, does it ONLY happen in THAT game?
[03:59] <Dee> hmm, ok, thanks
[03:59] <misslecommander> sdfowes: are you using Dual Layer Burn ?
[03:59] <x3n0> anyone played with SSDs in a raid0 array...?
[03:59] <genii> limp: I need to go have a coffee and go outside for a cig, returning in a few minutes
[03:59] <nickrud> ramza3: usually the defaults would be /usr/local/sbin or bin.  If you have the original compilation directory, you should be able to do   sudo make uninstall
[03:59] <Ashnal> bod_ im not sure i havent any other comparable games
[04:00] <sdfowes> but are detected as full 8gb size in nero for windows.
[04:00] <bod_> Ashnal, it sounds like a prob with the game,.,. make sure ur  game is using ALSA
[04:00] <riotkittie> Dee: i *believe* there's a tutorial on ubuntuforums.org about doing exactly that with virtual box or vmware but i'm not positive
[04:00] <limp> genii, sure :)
[04:00] <Dee> hmm ok, thanks, ill look it up there
[04:00] <riotkittie> i'd go search for it for you but i dont have access to a browser
[04:00] <Ashnal> bod_ oh one thing you might be able to help, i tried using the alsa wrapper thing on it and it spits out an error
[04:01] <nickrud> vmware is supposed to be able to do that, but I wouldn't trust it with my real install
[04:01] <bod_> Ashnal, il try ,.,.
[04:01] <nickrud> riotkittie: no text browser?
[04:01] <DIL_> the vm site has some "pre-made" vm

[04:02] <riotkittie> nickrud: well yeah i do have those but i seem to recall visiting the forums on them making me curl up in the fetal position and cry for my mother.
[04:02] <ramza3> nickrud, working on it
[04:02] <misslecommander> sdfowes: try not to burn it as Dual Layer
[04:02] <Ashnal> bod_ the command is aoss right?
[04:02] <nickrud> riotkittie: an experience not worth repeating, I'm sure
[04:03] <bod_> Ashnal, yer,.,.i think
[04:03] <misslecommander> sdfowes: if it works like that, not burning as Dual Layer, then DL may not be an option to use in the near future

[04:06] <ookamidesu> no partitions are set. I deleted them all.
[04:06] <sdfowes> whack the mbr?
[04:06] <ookamidesu> good idea.
[04:06] <ookamidesu> I will do that next.
[04:06] <sdfowes> take backup steps
[04:06] <Ashnal> bod_ well i ran it with the aoss command, and this time it didnt spit any errors at me, only crackling
[04:06] <ookamidesu> as always.
[04:06] <ookamidesu> Thank you.
[04:07] <misslecommander> ookamidesu: make sure your BIOS/CMOS detects it properly, some motherboards dont, requiring you to manual config the Hads/Cylinders

[04:08] <VvWolverinevV> hi, my windows XP computer is unable to see my ubuntu samba shares, and my ubuntu is unable to see my windows xp shares, can anyone help me troubleshoot?
[04:08] <Ashnal> bod_ delving through the game forums i came across this Spring uses OpenAL in linux, which can be configured to use
[04:08] <Ashnal> ALSA instead of OSS (check your /etc/openalrc or ~/.openalrc
[04:08] <bod_> EcoBlue, u make it ,.,.lol,.,.
[04:09] <Ashnal> bod_ can you make sense of that?
[04:09] <x3n0> workgroup names are a good place to start
[04:09] <EcoBlue> bod_: I might
[04:09] <warnet_> cow_baek_cri_cew_baek
[04:09] <bod_> Ashnal, yer ,.,. ALSA is like a sound driver but u can also use OSS instead ,.,. ive only really heard of people using ALSA though ,.,. i dunno wot OpenAl is?
[04:10] <bod_> EcoBlue, il come in for a chat if u do
[04:10] <bod_> nickrud, wots OpenAl?
[04:10] <nickrud> bod_: you mean http://www.openal.org/ ?
[04:11] <bod_> nickrud, yer,.,. how would i tell that to use ALSA?
[04:11] <phantomcircuit> penis

[04:11] <bod_> !language | phantomcircuit
[04:12] <nickrud> bod_: not sure, I've never looked at it's config files. My first guess is it would use alsa by default on a linux box these days
[04:12] <bazhang> DIL_: have a question?
[04:12] <warnet__> w_baek
[04:12] <DIL_> no sir
[04:12] <Ashnal> nickrud, well supposedly its using OSS and i need it to use alsa
[04:13] <bod_> nickrud, Ashnal is having probs with crackling sound in a particualr game and the game forums say it uses OpenAl which can use either ALSA or OSS,.,. where would i be able to choose between ALSA & OSS for OpenAl?
[04:13] <mikedep333> !steam
[04:13] <ubotu> Steam can be found at: http://www.steampowered.com/
[04:13] <mikedep333> is there a guide somewhere to steam on ubuntu?

[04:14] <mikedep333> (with the dreaded wine, I know)
[04:14] <nickrud> Ashnal: it can use either according to it's web page, but since I've never looked at it (don't play games on linux) I don't know enough to say anything
[04:14] <bazhang> mikedep333: ubuntuforums has a gaming section; you might check there
[04:14] <genii> limp: Still installing system files?
[04:15] <nickrud> Ashnal: but, you might try installing alsa-oss package, and invoking the game with aoss <gamename>
[04:15] <sdfowes> any ideas!?

[04:15] <Ashnal> nickrud, already tried that and it still crackles
[04:15] <Onyx> I'm running an amd64 system, using gutsy for amd64, and I installed grub-gfxboot for amd64... I've edited grub's menu.lst to include the gfxmenu that I want to use, but when I reboot, I still get the same old text-based grub menu.  Has anyone else had trouble getting this going?
[04:15] <limp> genii, ok it's done. I did not reboot. What do I go now for the fat32 partition?
[04:16] <chris449> hi, i've just stuck the ubuntu (7.10) live cd in with the intention of installing it. My last install of ubuntu as nice and graphical, so I was expecting the same thing this time. However, a command prompt came up. I tried typing in startx but it said "no screens found"

[04:16] <nickrud> Ashnal: then you've plumbed by shallow but narrow knowledge of sound :)
[04:16] <chris449> bod_: desktop with nvidia 8800gts
[04:17] <Onyx> adrock358: BEST is certainly subjective, but I prefer amarok by far.
[04:17] <limp> genii, i am.
[04:17] <bazhang> cowon adrock358
[04:17] <adrock358> Anybody else have two cents?
[04:17] <Scunizi> adrock358: need ipod support .. amorak  otherwise your choice
[04:17] <bod_> chris449, u cant install with nvidia card plugged in ,.,. remove the card completely ,. use the standard screen plug,.,. then do the install then put the card back in
[04:17] <genii> limp: sudo mkdir /target/media/shared
[04:17] <chris449> bod_: i changed the xorg.conf to vesa instead of nv, and x starts, but doesn't do anything else... like install ubuntu
[04:17] <Ashnal> nickrud: well i think i found a way to config openAL to use alsa
[04:18] <Ashnal> however i get the feeling it wont work anyways
[04:18] <nickrud> Ashnal: add it to my meager store, will you ?
[04:18] <adrock358> THANK YOU

[04:18] <chris449> bod_: yes

[04:19] <bod_> chris449,  i couldnt install while g-cards where in because theyre not supported untill the install is finished
[04:19] <m0u5e> as in editting embeded pdf fields?
[04:19] <limp> genii, shared is on sda6
[04:19] <chris449> I have a video card in my computer, bod_ wants me to remove it
[04:20] <bod_> yer
[04:20] <chris449> there's no graphics anything on my motherboard, it needs a graphics card to have a display
[04:20] <genii> limp: OK. does:   ls /target                 produce anything? (just yes or no, no paste of the result needed)
[04:20] <darkblue_B> wellll I just had a long unhappy experience trying to back up an ubuntu install.. beside the fact that of two disks, either one or the other would boot, somehow apparently of their own will as to whch one is chosen to be the boot disk.. (both have systems) I used partimage to make a backup image of the *good* one, but despite? my indications otherwise, partimage made 2gb image sub-files, and nowhere could I find the incantations 
[04:20] <Scunizi> chris449: I have a 6600gt and it worked fine on install
[04:20] <bod_> chris449, im not sure then m8,.,. sorry ,. i couldnt use my nvidia card untill i installed ,.,. maybe try asking nickrud
[04:21] <limp> genii, no output
[04:21] <chris449> Scunizi: I had a 7900gt and installed then too. But now i've upgraded i can't even start a live cd
[04:21] <zachalink> WHY can't I view youtube videos on firefox in ubuntu 7.10??
[04:21] <chris449> bod_: thanks foryour help anyway
[04:21] <Onyx> chris449: Download the nvidia drivers and install them manually.
[04:21] <zachalink> Just a black screen. :(
[04:21] <genii> limp: Ok we need then to re-mount the newly made /   which partition was that one?
[04:21] <Scunizi> chris449: whats the new card
[04:21] <chris449> Onyx: it's a live cd
[04:21] <bod_> zachalink, u need the flash plugin
[04:21] <chris449> Scunizi: 8800gts 512mb version
[04:21] <limp> genii, sda8 is "/" (ubuntu)
[04:21] <zachalink> It doesn't tell me on firefox.
[04:22] <zachalink> What plugin would that be?
[04:22] <Darkmystere> How can i send Folders With Pidgin?
[04:22] <Onyx> chris449: should still be able to do basic things like that afaik
[04:22] <nickrud> bod_: that's not fair, I don't know much at all about nvidia :0
[04:22] <bod_> zachalink, hold on let me find it
[04:22] <limp> genii, why don't we reboot?
[04:22] <genii> limp: OK. so:   sudo mount /dev/sda8 /target
[04:22] <bod_> nickrud, tuff,.,. u shouldnt be so damn good with linux then i wouldnt send everyone to u,.,.lol
[04:22] <Onyx> I'm running an amd64 system, and I installed grub-gfxboot for amd64... I've edited grub's menu.lst to include the gfxmenu that I want to use, but when I reboot, I still get the same old text-based grub menu.  Has anyone else had trouble getting this going?
[04:22] <sdfowes> ahha, people ask what my problem is, post a pastebin, and silence. at least a 'dunno man, check with the developers' or something along those lines would be more appropiate.
[04:22] <Ashnal> nickrud: well apparently my openAL was already set to use ALSA it seems
[04:22] <genii> limp: Did the installer format it as vfat?
[04:22] <jetscreamer> zachalink: mozilla-flash mozilla-java mozilla-vnc .. the names are going to be a tad different
[04:23] <limp> genii, that's done.
[04:23] <Ashnal> nickrud: so it must be a problem with alsa?
[04:23] <jetscreamer> chris449: that card isn't well supported yet
[04:23] <Naisenu> Okay. I have what should be an easy task, but I can't figure it out right now. How do I create a "shortcut"/"link" on my desktop to a server that I own and regularly upload things to?
[04:23] <Scunizi> chris449: that I think is one of the cards that is not supported without the latest drivers.. although nv in xorg.conf I  would think would work for the insall.. You might try the alternate cd or put the old card back in until the sys is installed.
[04:23] <jetscreamer> chris449: use the text installer
[04:23] <bazhang> sdfowes: I have asked you several times but crickets from your end
[04:23] <genii> limp: ok so again:  sudo mkdir /target/media/shared
[04:23] <zachalink> Also, I click on a higher resolution to use, and it doesn't switch it. What gives?
[04:23] <nickrud> Ashnal: Does anything else sound bad?  Have you checked the support forums for the game?
[04:23] <sdfowes> http://pastebin.com/m2e42966f that's my problem.
[04:23] <astro76> Naisenu: places menu > connect to server
[04:23] <limp> genii, why are all the files in "/" the same in /target ?
[04:23] <sdfowes> crickets?
[04:23] <zachalink> And yes, my drivers are installed.
[04:23] <Darkmystere> nickrud: Err how do i send Folders with Pidgin or how do i host a ftp Server ? Or whats a good site to upload files/folders
[04:23] <chris449> jetscreamer: how do i use the text installer (sorry for silly question), the 'setup' command doesn't work
[04:24] <sdfowes> where would i go to find different chipset drivers to use?
[04:24] <limp> genii, ok I executed that. No change
[04:24] <sdfowes> is it even possible to use other drivers?
[04:24] <chris449> Scunizi: old card's broken
[04:24] <genii> limp: We have basically spliced the / of the new system into an existing subdir called /target
[04:24] <jetscreamer> chris449: i don't know i've never used it.
[04:24] <Ashnal> bod_ would you happen to know how to increase the buffer size for alsa?
[04:24] <chris449> jetscreamer: lol fair enough, i'll try onyx's suggestion of installing the latest nvidia drivers
[04:25] <genii> limp: OK, now: sudo su
[04:25] <nickrud> Darkmystere: not a clue about pidgin, I don't use it. You can host a ftp server with any of    /msg ubotu ftpd   . Sites to upload to, I'm not sure I have my own server out there some where to put stuff on
[04:25] <Scunizi> chris449: ahh... sorry to hear that.  The alternate cd is the text installer.. download and burn then boot to it..  no gui
[04:25] <bod_> Ashnal, sorry i dont no much about sound,.,.?,.,.
[04:25] <sdfowes> LOTS of ata issues; that are linux related. i've ruled out hardware problems.

[04:26] <chris449> Scunizi: ok i'll download the alternate, thanks for your help, though i'll still have to install the nvidia drivers when i load it up lol
[04:26] <kingpin> ok.. so I've been trying to get my new atheros wifi card working.. it just wouldn't scan. I recently found this: [ 1648.926332] rt61: module has no symbols (stripped?) [ 1648.926835] unable to load wlan_scan_sta, which would probably explain why I can't scan.. can anyone help me?

[04:26] <Naisenu> ty astro76 ... i knew it had to be easy ... but heh

[04:31] <sdfowes> bazhang, you said i was giving crickets, i need to know what they are so i don't give them again. no external devices. as far as i can tell , it only does it in linux, including other distros such as fedora, redhat, suse, it does NOT do freeze/unfreeze with windows, freebsd, nebsd, openbsd.

[04:35] <dduong> RB2: Around 3.5gb.  I recently installed 4gb in my laptop and ubuntu only reconized 3.5
[04:35] <Ashnal> nickrud: now how do i tell ubuntu to use my onboard sound instead of my audigy?
[04:35] <jetscreamer> no there is no reinstall
[04:35] <crwlr> no, i need to know if the belkin 54g wireless usb drivers are already good to go with studio
[04:35] <Scunizi> chris449: I'm not sure but you might be able to get the "server" iso on that.  once installed sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:35] <limp> genii, oops, closed. So uuuh, I cannot write on shared...
[04:35] <RB2> genii dduong, thanks!
[04:35] <sdfowes> !who
[04:35] <ubotu> As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[04:35] <sdfowes> !what
[04:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about what - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:35] <jetscreamer> !where when why
[04:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about where when why - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:35] <limp> genii, cannot paste files, cannot create directories etc...
[04:35] <nickrud> Ashnal: you would create an ~/.asound.conf file and tell it there. The syntax, I don't know
[04:35] <xen_> Hey there how do i mount and IDE HD and be able to access it without root permissions, say if the HD had music and i wanted to play music from it with amorak? using Kubuntu
[04:35] <xen_> anyone?
[04:36] <Onyx> chris449: You'll not want to use the ubuntu package -- you'll want the package directly from the nvidia website.
[04:36] <xen_> i can mount it, but need root
[04:36] <RB2> genii, If I have more than 4, do I need to recompile with largemem support? (or is that with largemem support)
[04:36] <bazhang> crwlr: not really sure about that--are they the usb dongles? I have had bad luck with those
[04:36] <ArthurArchnix> RB2 if your machine supports 64 bit.. heck, I'm not sure what the limit is.
[04:36] <xen_> but how do i actually be able to access it after moutning it without root?
[04:36] <Darkmystere> Can some 1 help me? I keep gettin this error:Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.
[04:36] <Darkmystere> Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.
[04:36] <lupos\royman> Im looking for some program that can stream movies/music over the network. Preferably if I could watch it through the webbrowser but that isnt a must. Anyone got any idea?
[04:36] <ArthurArchnix> RB2 just install ubuntu 64bit version
[04:36] <jetscreamer> xen_: depending on the fs, youwould use umask and gid and uid in the mount command
[04:36] <Scunizi> !permissions | xen
[04:36] <ubotu> xen: 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
[04:36] <chris449> Onyx: how do i do that?
[04:36] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: sounds like you need to edit your /etc/fstab file
[04:36] <Ashnal> nickrud: what does the ~/ in front of that path mean?
[04:36] <genii> limp: Next step:  open again Terminal, then: sudo mkdir /media/shared/username         <-- where username is your user name
[04:36] <xen_> rats, so theres no "point and click" alternative?
[04:36] <Onyx> chris449: Are you on i386, or amd64, or what?
[04:36] <chris449> Scuzini: looking for the server iso now, though it doesn't seem to be mirrored near me
[04:37] <crwlr> bazhang: ur correct about the dongles.  i guess it will be a shot in the dark...regular ubuntu does good with it, but i want to give studio a shot so I spose i will see what happens
[04:37] <nickrud> Ashnal: ~ is a shortcut for /home/<you>  , your home directory
[04:37] <chris449> Onyx: i have amd64 though I'm using the i386 install
[04:37] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: I don't know if there is a point and click solution, but editing your fstab file will work
[04:37] <Onyx> chris449: Ah, that could be part of the problem...
[04:37] <RB2> ArthurArchnix, I probably will, but I've heard of some problems with the 64-bit (in relation to apps I'm running). I thought that at some point, dynamic addressing was implemented so 32-bit could scale.
[04:37] <Scunizi> chris449: www.ubuntu.com then follow the download link..
[04:37] <chris449> Onyx: never affected me before
[04:37] <bazhang> crwlr: you can enable the ubuntu studio repos and install stuff from there on top of your working ubuntu install
[04:37] <xen_> ok, i have no knowledge of fstab, where can i find out how to do what i want?
[04:37] <genii> limp: then: sudo chown -R <your user name>:<your user name> /media/shared/<the dirname we made before>
[04:37] <dduong> RB2:  I've converted to 64 last night from i386 and I'm loving it :)
[04:37] <compy> so other than apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras whats another command like that i should install to get all the other libs and codecs?
[04:37] <jetscreamer>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[04:38] <crwlr> bazhang: unfortunately...not installed on my desktop, only the laptop...and no wired internet connection, just wireless.  hrmmm.
[04:38] <Scunizi> chris449: Onyx i386 install won't matter on 64 bit..
[04:38] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: remember, google is your friend.. if it doesn't know something, it's not worth knowing... http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html
[04:38] <bazhang> compy:  visit www.medibuntu.org
[04:38] <flamsmark> what's the right way to install the root inside an encrypted volume on a raid5 array, with the alternate install disk?
[04:38] <Onyx> chris449: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.09/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run
[04:38] <limp> genii, operation not permitted
[04:38] <crwlr> that's correct.  dont worry about the version, chris449.  x86 should work just fine on ur x64 system
[04:38] <xen_> i realise google is my friend, but linux is not as friendly
[04:39] <RB2> dduong, Is there a noticeable performance impact?
[04:39] <chris449> Onyx: i have to type all that in don't i -.- my computer's in the other room, this is the family one
[04:39] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: I know what you mean.. it was the same way for me when I first started out
[04:39] <genii> limp: Which operation? chmod or the mkdir one?
[04:39] <chris449> Onyx: err.. that sounded like i was stupid, i know i have to type it in lol
[04:39] <limp> genii, chown
[04:39] <Scunizi> xen_: with companionship comes knowledge and friendship
[04:39] <xen_> Joeyjoejo thanks for the link btw, ill do some reading up
[04:39] <crwlr> chris449: ya had me fooled...for a sec...HAHAHAHA!
[04:39] <dduong> RB2:  64bit is so much faster for me...especially while extracting compressed files and program load and run faster
[04:39] <Onyx> chris449: heh, i feel your pain... i had to do it recently when i updated xorg...
[04:39] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: no problem
[04:40] <Scunizi> xen_: stick with linux and it'll be your friend too
[04:40] <limp> genii, i'll try in root
[04:40] <xen_> with knowledge and friendship comes arguements and mid life crisis
[04:40] <RB2> xen_, lol
[04:40] <Scunizi> xen_: then a red mazaratti
[04:40] <xen_> :P
[04:40] <misslecommander> Darkmystere: try tunning it from Terminal> sudu -i , then synaptic
[04:40] <xen_> lol
[04:40] <dduong> RB2:  I have also installed Warcraft III and WoW and they are running fine with no problems
[04:40] <chris449> Scunizi: server edition just too big for usb stick i think (499mb), i'll try Onyx's suggestion first
[04:40] <Scunizi> k
[04:40] <limp> genii, still won't work in root.
[04:41] <Onyx> chris449: Just wget that file, chmod +x it, then execute it with sudo.
[04:41] <misslecommander> Darkmyster: typohell my bad > sudo -i , then synaptic   type in Terminal
[04:41] <ArthurArchnix> RB2 I've not heard  of that. I'm skeptical. From what I've read.. 32bit only has enough addresses for 4gb of ram.
[04:41] <crwlr> here's a good question...I had my system up and going with an nvidia geforce 6600 video card in it, and it came up with a purple screen...so i restarted it and then it was just a black screen...any suggestions?
[04:41] <poutine> t
[04:41] <Onyx> crwlr: Your drivers are probably messed up.
[04:41] <genii> limp: sudo nano /etc/fstab                    then make defaults,users   of the /dev/sda6   line into:  user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000                  ctrl-x to exit, Y to save changes
[04:41] <RB2> dduong, I'll have to try it out at some point for this box. I've gotta' do a fresh install of a new server and I'm trying to decide 32bit vs 64bit
[04:41] <crwlr> onyx: this was just the live cd
[04:42] <Onyx> what's with all these people having trouble on live cds?
[04:42] <Scunizi> crwlr: does the card have it's own power connector?
[04:42] <RB2> ArthurArchnix, I remember reading it somewhere, but I don't really remember exactly where; take it with a grain of salt.
[04:42] <crwlr> scunizi: negative
[04:42] <limp> genii, wait wait, how do u do that ?
[04:42] <Darkmystere> misslecommander: it worked how can i fix it for me?
[04:42] <genii> limp: just use the arrow keys to navigate inside of the editing program called nano
[04:42] <Scunizi> crwlr: is it agp? my 6600 agp has  a pwr connecor.
[04:43]  * RB2 is considering installing Ubuntu Server and giving it a test drive. I've always stuck with CentOS in the past.
[04:43] <crwlr> sunizi: pci express
[04:43] <Javid> !make > Javid
[04:43] <sdfowes> bazhang, you all done being pissed at me for being as clear as possible?
[04:43] <Scunizi> crwlr: ah
[04:43] <dduong> RB2:  Cool, I'm going to convert my server to 64bit for sure after experiencing it for the first time on my laptop.
[04:43] <sdfowes> hahaha
[04:43] <genii> limp: The backspace can be used to back over defaults,users          and type in there instead user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000
[04:43] <misslecommander> Darkmystere: i am looking, i will message if i find a good solution
[04:43] <crwlr> scunizi: picked it up for 40 bucks from some guy off of craigslist.org
[04:43] <fatedkiss> tritium, you in here
[04:44] <misslecommander> Darkmystere: just wanted you to still be able to use it. i'll message in a bit
[04:44] <limp> genii, k done
[04:45] <genii> limp: OK, so ctrl-x   to exit, Y to save (unless done already)
[04:45] <htns_> Guys...
[04:45] <htns_> I'm trying to type in Korean
[04:45] <htns_> It's not working
[04:45] <Javid> can I get the source for a package from apt, or do I have to find it myself?
[04:45] <limp> genii, that's done too. I still cannot write
[04:45] <genii> limp: Then: sudo umount /media/shared
[04:45] <htns_> I tried the package manager and installed all sorts of stuff
[04:45] <Darkmystere> ok
[04:45] <htns_> Please halp
[04:45] <UberDay> does anyone know anything about cedega im trying to find the folder it installs games into?
[04:45] <genii> limp: then: mount /media/shared
[04:45] <sdfowes> i love this channel such nice volunteers, bazhang is one of them, such a nice person.
[04:46] <sdfowes> round of applause to bazhang
[04:46] <stuudz> Hi!
[04:46] <dehspehl> UberDay: ~/.wine or ~/.cedega perhaps?
[04:46] <limp> genii, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda6, missing codepage ......
[04:46] <UberDay> i dont use wine but ill look
[04:47] <xen_> hmm this fstab looks a little bit more complicated in my file :S
[04:47] <crwlr> studio install is cleaning up!  WOOT!
[04:47] <rouwenpi> hi there, please i'm in trouble here .... i've installed the server ubuntu ... how can i configure my keyboard without xorg ?
[04:47] <tecywiz121> Hey, quick question:  my bios see's ~3000Mb of ram, system monitor displays 2.2gb
[04:47] <genii> limp: again: sudo nano /etc/fstab                                  this time highlight with the mouse the line which contains /dev/sda6  right-click, copy                 then paste here
[04:48] <bazhang> sdfowes: perhaps you would like to join me in #ubuntu-offtopic :}
[04:48] <xen_> how do i find out where the IDE is in /dev? i know its in /media/whatever, but i cant find it in /dev
[04:48] <sdfowes> i need technical help.
[04:48] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: run the command 'mount'
[04:48] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: it will tell you that /dev/whatever is mounted at /media/whatever
[04:48] <genii> xen_: Some get mounted with nodev option and have no /dev entries
[04:49] <xen_> ah cool, ty i see it now
[04:49] <tecywiz121> xen_: or run ls /dev/hd*
[04:49] <sdfowes> rm -Rv ./documentary
[04:49] <limp> genii, /dev/sda6 /media/shared vfat helix,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 1
[04:49] <bazhang> sdfowes: then I would suggest toning it down a bit--others here can read too, you know
[04:49] <stuudz> I have a problem here... I have install gutsy gibbon and now i want to install Win Xp Pro SP2 on my second partiton and it doesn't work.... when I boot with the windows CD it say that any HDD is find.... But to install vista it's working very well.... any idea?
[04:49] <limp> genii, have to go real soon
[04:49] <sdfowes> everyone can read.
[04:49] <DIL_> the expansion card take up memory as well
[04:49] <sdfowes> if it makes you happy, ban me.
[04:49] <sdfowes> god dan.
[04:49] <sdfowes> damn*
[04:49] <genii> limp: the part starting "helix" is incorrect
[04:49] <chris449> Onyx: no precompiled kernal interface was found to match your kernal
[04:49] <Qrawl> whats the shell command to set wallpaper
[04:49] <stuudz> *** HDD is not found.... sorry
[04:49] <limp> genii, what should it be ??
[04:49] <genii> limp: user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0
[04:50] <stuudz> I have a problem here... I have install gutsy gibbon and now i want to install Win Xp Pro SP2 on my second partiton and it doesn't work.... when I boot with the windows CD it say that any HDD is not found.... But to install vista it's working very well.... any idea?
[04:50] <jamisou> trouble installing flashplayer on hardy heron... i've downloaded, installed but no flashplayer...?
[04:50] <Onyx> chris449: That's fine, let the script build the drivers.
[04:50] <xen_> hmm seems i doesnt appear in mount, nor does it appear in ls /dev/hd*
[04:50] <bazhang> sdfowes: I would not want to do that--just try to be bit more patient--if someone knows they will help you
[04:50] <genii> limp: don't substitute your name there :)
[04:50] <Johnson_> im trying to access a mounted network folder, and every time i try to do an operation on the folder like open it, or get its property i get a message saying "open folder u can stop this operation by clicking cancel" how do i fix this
[04:50] <misslecommander> Darkmystere: check this out, tell me how it goes please > http://www.linuxweblog.com/ubuntu-install#comment-133
[04:50] <xen_> but dolphin can see it :S
[04:50] <rouwenpi> can i configure my keyboard without xorg please ?
[04:50] <sdfowes> bazhang, you see me pasting line after line 10 seconds apart? no, i think i'm being quite patient.
[04:50] <desertc> stuudz: need to install windows first, or MS will take over your boot and keep ubuntu from loading
[04:50] <chris449> Onyx: You do not appear to have libc header files installed on your system
[04:51] <UberDay> nope dehspehl its not there
[04:51] <limp> genii, k edited with "user" instead of "helix", should i try to remount?
[04:51] <limp> genii, mount worked
[04:51] <genii> limp: then  ctrl-x      Y   Return                       then again: sudo umount /media/shared                        then: mount /media/shared
[04:51] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: run the mount command and copy the ouput to pastebin
[04:51] <dehspehl> UberDay: cedega is proprietary so by convention some of the stuff might be in opt
[04:51] <genii> limp: Good
[04:51] <chris449> Onyx: it then tells me that installation failed
[04:51] <Onyx> chris449: Ergh... doesn't look like it will work then, because you need to install a C compiler... thought ubuntu included that by default :/
[04:51] <genii> limp: Try to put something there now
[04:51] <limp> genii, i can now write, i think
[04:51] <xen_> !paste
[04:51] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:51] <DIL_> stuudz, it may serve you better to install ubuntu last
[04:51] <stuudz> desertc, I know but it's very easy to reinstall GRUB..... And i don't wan to format my ubuntu partition....
[04:52] <chris449> Onyx: the whole reason i'm doing this is to write C programs -.- seems a little ironic
[04:52] <Scunizi> sdfowes: not sure what your technical issue is ... perhaps restating it for someone else to answer.. I'm getting tire of  reading the banter between you and bazhang
[04:52] <limp> genii, ok perfect i'll try from windows now
[04:52] <chris449> Onyx: *compile c programs, someone else wrote it
[04:52] <Onyx> chris449: Ouch... want to try to install a compiler?
[04:52] <misslecommander> Darkmystere: review it first. backup any changes you make.
[04:52] <crwlr> bazhang...i gots me a problem now...it's just showing a black screen...studio just installed...idk what to do other than whip out the vista cd...
[04:52] <limp> genii, wouldn't of done it without you gosh!
[04:52] <tecywiz121> Anyone?
[04:52] <chris449> Onyx: can i apt get the compiler? what's it called?
[04:52] <dehspehl> chris449: Onyx: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:52] <xen_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52975/
[04:52] <UberDay> ok im a newbie to linux dehspehl so i dont know what you mean by opt
[04:52] <limp> genii, ok GF getting mad now -.-
[04:52] <Onyx> dehspehl: Thanks :)
[04:53] <rouwenpi> UberDay: /opt
[04:53] <genii> limp: Heh, go then... have fun
[04:53] <Qrawl> whats the shell command to set wallpaper
[04:53] <bazhang> crwlr: this is on the desktop? or the laptop
[04:53] <crwlr> desktop
[04:53] <limp> genii, have to try under windows, first, haha
[04:53] <misslecommander> grep something or other ?
[04:53] <sdfowes> Scunizi, page up maybe? i'll post and make it easy http://pastebin.com/m2e42966f
[04:53] <crwlr> i have ubuntu 7.10 on the laptop
[04:53] <dehspehl> Onyx: that gives you enough to build for instance a kernel, but you will probably need to get -dev packages if there are dependencies
[04:53] <patogen> All videos I playback look ugly, they do play but they look way worse than on win
[04:53] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: what is sdb1?
[04:53] <patogen> is there a way to fix this?
[04:53] <Geoffrey2> is it possible to make an existing ext3 partition larger?
[04:53] <chris449> dehsphel: thanks trying now
[04:54] <DIL_> tecywiz121, fyi expansion cards take up memory as well
[04:54] <Jangari> how do i change the default file browser from nautilus to thunar?
[04:54] <bazhang> crwlr: that is odd; does the livecd work at all? or just the black screen? can you start up in safe mode?
[04:54] <dehspehl> UberDay: i think it's ~/.transgaming
[04:54] <UberDay> yup somethings there dehsphel just the link to it. im just trying to figure out if theres a c_drive
[04:54] <Onyx> dehspehl: Ahh okay -- I know I have that installed on my system, just didn't know what it was called (I come from OpenBSD and Slackware mindset...) -- I built my custom kernel immediately after install, heh.
[04:54] <UberDay> yah i just went there
[04:54] <limp> genii, i was able to write, now i'll see if i can modify / delete / access from linux, then i'm in bed
[04:54] <UberDay> i cant find that i saw that on the ubuntu site
[04:54] <xen_> Joeyjoejo thats weird, it wasnt there the first time i ran mount
[04:54] <nano__> Hey, If my router isnt working with linux, how would I modify it (settings wise) so that it does?
[04:54] <xen_> that must be the IDE im trying to get at
[04:54] <crwlr> bazhang: i have the alt install cd for studio.  tried the ubuntu 7.10 cd and it came up purple...like it was outta range.  tried the 7.04 cd and it just came up with noghitng
[04:54] <dehspehl> UberDay: ls -a ~
[04:54] <genii> limp: Alright. Don't make your gf madder LOL
[04:54] <Darkmystere> misslecommander: Sorry was afk
[04:54] <crwlr> nothing*
[04:55] <misslecommander> Darkmystere: check this out, tell me how it goes please > http://www.linuxweblog.com/ubuntu-install#comment-133
[04:55] <stuudz> how can i view all partitions in Windows XP install CD after gutsy was install?
[04:55] <limp> genii, i'll make it up
[04:55] <misslecommander> treview first
[04:55] <sdfowes> Scunizi, ata problems. random freeze/unfreeze, doing anything to doing nothing. massive errors like that in the buffer
[04:55] <misslecommander> Darkmystere: review it first. backup any changes
[04:55] <tecywiz121> DIL_, I have 4 gigs in there, but afaik the BIOS can only see three of it...  When I had a gig, about 800megs was being reported
[04:55] <Scunizi> sdfowes: you trying to run vmware?  unfortunatly I'm not up to answering your paste.. I just don't have the answer..
[04:55] <chris449> Onyx, dehspehl: is installing :)
[04:55] <jetscreamer> stuudz: fdisk -l
[04:55] <sdfowes> no vmware.
[04:55] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: cool.. so when you make your new entry in fstab, make sure it says /dev/sdb1
[04:55] <bazhang> crwlr: you have ethernet access for the alt install cd computer? if I recall correctly there is a install drivers option at the end of that install process
[04:55] <sdfowes> Scunizi, not runnign vmware. it does it from boot until shutdown, just ideling. does it less with media in cdrom drive
[04:55] <Scunizi> sdfowes: sure looks like there's a vmware driver trying to load.. but I could be wrong
[04:56] <DIL_> bad stick
[04:56] <Javid> can I get the source for a package from apt, or do I have to find it myself?
[04:56] <chris449> Onyx: yay X ran, though a fat lot of good it did, how do i get the install started?
[04:56] <tecywiz121> DIL_, Think so?
[04:56] <stuudz> jetscreamer, no.... in the installation of Windows XP....
[04:56] <sdfowes> Scunizi, it does it from the livecd, which i'm sure has no vmware install on it.
[04:56] <xen_> JoeyJoeJo yup cool, ty
[04:56] <crwlr> bazhang: didn't come across that option.  the alt cd install is the desktop
[04:56] <Onyx> chris449: The system install?
[04:56] <sdfowes> Scunizi, but i may be wrong.
[04:56] <UberDay> nothing showed up with the transgameing folder deh but ill keep looking around im bound to find it sooner or later
[04:56] <DIL_> try them alternatively
[04:56] <chris449> Onyx: yeah\
[04:56] <patogen> is there a way to fix this?
[04:56] <patogen> All videos I playback look ugly, they do play but they look way worse than on win
[04:56] <limp> genii, ok perfect! finally outta this nightmare.. have to install apache etc now....;
[04:56] <Onyx> chris449: Should be an option in one of the menus, or on the desktop as far as I remember
[04:56] <Scunizi> sdfowes: sorry I don't have the answer to your technical problem
[04:56] <Cpt_Qtek> Hi I'm having this issue with Grub ... I have a computer with ubuntu 7.10 using Grub to boot it.  Now I've also have this USB stick with the Ubuntu live system on it.  Is there a way I can tell Grub on my computer to boot from the usb stick ?  The usb device = /dev/sdc1 , how can I tell Grub to boot from it ?
[04:56] <limp> genii, thanks again! see ya!
[04:56] <genii> limp: Bye, have fun
[04:56] <tecywiz121> DIL_, kk
[04:56] <tecywiz121> thx
[04:57] <chris449> Onyx: i'm looking at a liney screen and the cursor is an x
[04:57] <dehspehl> UberDay: could locate transgaming
[04:57] <eshaase> any idea how to make opera feel more native?
[04:57] <Onyx> chris449: Ahhh okay
[04:57] <sdfowes> Scunizi, that's fine, i'm still waiting, as bazhang suggested.
[04:57] <QMario> Have any of you experienced a bug in which when you press "Ctrl+Tab" on the last tab of Konqueror 4, it crashes immediately?
[04:57] <bazhang> crwlr: how much ram in the desktop? did the livecd for the laptop work in the desktop?
[04:57] <cafuego> eshaase: install and run KDE
[04:57] <sdfowes> patiently.
[04:57] <dehspehl> UberDay: locate transgaming, locate cedega.. hopefully something will show up
[04:57] <UberDay> where is it located exactly
[04:57] <genii> QMario:  #kubuntu
[04:57] <anony> hi... when i press the up/down volume control on my keyboard, it changes the wrong sound slider...  any ideas? I"m using a Microsoft Wireless MultiMedia Keyboard 1.1.
[04:57] <crwlr> bazhang: i got 2gb of ram in it.  livecd worked in laptop but not desktop
[04:57] <misslecommander> i think > sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg  < at login screen using Ctrl Alt F1 to enter Terminal , fixed my random desktop freeze issue. i took my time to make sure all was correct
[04:57] <Onyx> chris449: You'll want to do this... /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:57] <sdfowes> would anyone know if it's possible to use a different driver?
[04:58] <jetscreamer> stuudz: ask in ##windows maybe
[04:58] <chris449> Onyx: switch to a terminal first?
[04:58] <Scunizi> sdfowes: you have to restate you problem every 4-5 minutes.... succinctly
[04:58] <Onyx> chris449: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start -- do that out of x
[04:58] <bazhang> crwlr: what about safe mode in desktop? did that not work?
[04:58] <dehspehl> UberDay: 'locate' command
[04:58] <sdfowes> wouldn't that result in a ban?
[04:58] <Onyx> chris449: Shut down x first -- ctrl+alt+backspace
[04:58] <eshaase> cafuego: opera plays better with kde?
[04:58] <compy> when i play a movie its all fuzzy and not clear at all.  Anyone know what i should do?
[04:58] <sdfowes> channel flooding?
[04:58] <Darkmystere> ok  Err How do i figure out the URL For my FTP server i made with gproftpd ?
[04:58] <anony>  hi... when i press the up/down volume control on my keyboard, it changes the wrong sound slider...  any ideas? I"m using a Microsoft Wireless MultiMedia Keyboard 1.1.
[04:58] <sdfowes> Scunizi, does ubuntu come with more then one ide chipset driver?
[04:58] <crwlr> hang on for that one, bazhang...tryin some hardware troubleshooting.  actually logged in on the desktop without the video showing.
[04:58] <CppIsWeird> can anyone tell me how to confiure my wireless via command line, so far ive managed to set my wireless interfaces IP, and ive given iwconfig my router essid and key, how come nothings happening?
[04:59] <UberDay> holy hell lol ok i found it deh
[04:59] <cafuego> eshaase: Well, opera uses the Qt widget library, so it uses KDE theming.
[04:59] <UberDay> thanks much
[04:59] <Scunizi> Darkmystere: it's your ip then the port usually
[04:59] <bazhang> crwlr: okay
[04:59] <misslecommander> anony: something similiar, when i roll wy wheel to turn up the volume on real player, up is down, down is up :)
[04:59] <cafuego> eshaase: Which makes it authamgically use whatever you select if you run KDE. You can of course also install the KDE control center and tweak its theme to look like Gnome.
[04:59] <anony> missilecommander: any ideas?
[04:59] <dehspehl> cafuego: eshaase: i actually don't get why they do, they had to pay. coulda just used Gtk
[04:59] <Scunizi> Darkmystere: if you're behind a firewall you have to port forward the correct port to the machine
[05:00] <Darkmystere> I turned it off
[05:00] <dehspehl> cafuego: eshaase: Opera, that is
[05:00] <Darkmystere> the Firewall
[05:00] <sdfowes> does linux only have 1 driver for ide controllers? i find that highly unlikely.
[05:00] <cafuego> dehspehl: Gtk wasn't anywhere near as useful on Windows back then, I expect.
[05:00] <eshaase> cafuego: well i use gnome, will intalling the kde libs be sufficient?
[05:00] <cafuego> sdfowes: No, it has lots.
[05:00] <Scunizi> Darkmystere: in the router?
[05:00] <misslecommander> anony: i know of things to do in windows to re-map keys, but i dont know about linux. i am sure there is a way, but such a small issue, i wouldnt worry about it
[05:00] <crwlr> bazhang: shutting the desktop down now.  gonna try the safemode deal
[05:00] <Darkmystere> Yea
[05:00] <cafuego> eshaase: The control center, and whatever depends that needs.
[05:00] <sdfowes> cafuego, very helpful. how many does ubuntu have? 1?
[05:00] <misslecommander> re-mapping is not fun
[05:00] <bazhang> crwlr: okay
[05:01] <chris449> grep: /etc/default/locale no such directory
[05:01] <crwlr> bazhang: do you have aim or msn?
[05:01] <CppIsWeird> can anyone tell me how to confiure my wireless via command line, so far ive managed to set my wireless interfaces IP, and ive given iwconfig my router essid and key, how come nothings happening?
[05:01] <anony> missilecommander: well, i figured if i'm having trouble, at least one other person is having the same problem, and i use it quite regularly
[05:01] <cafuego> sdfowes: www.kernel.org -> browse the ide source tree and check. probably a few hundred I imagine.
[05:01] <Darkmystere> Im Lost lol is it the Ip i set?
[05:01] <dehspehl> kde's mapping system is a little handier than manual X key map configurations
[05:01] <patogen> CppIsWeird: Maybe you need to use dhcp? dhclient does the trick then
[05:01] <chris449> Onyx: probably a good time to mention i'm using kubuntu install disk :$ and i tried that kdm instead of gdm
[05:01] <bazhang> crwlr: best to do it in channel; that way everyone can benefit :}
[05:01] <misslecommander> anony: i noticed it, but it doesnt bother me. so i never really got into it
[05:01] <cafuego> sdfowes: Let me put it this way; I'd be surprised if you managed to find an ide controller that's not supported.
[05:01] <Onyx> chris449: How did that work?
[05:02] <xen_> JoeyJoJoe heres my new fstab entry, its in the bottom: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52977/
[05:02] <chris449> Onyx: grep: /etc/default/locale no such directory
[05:02] <crwlr> kk
[05:02] <flamsmark> what's the right way to install the root inside an encrypted volume on a raid5 array, with the alternate install disk?
[05:02] <vincent_> Hello All
[05:02] <anony> missilecommander: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys
[05:02] <chris449> Onyx: then it says something like starting k graphical display manager
[05:02] <sdfowes> cafuego, fantastic. the paticular one that ubuntu is using for my contoller is giving me massive fits.
[05:02] <crwlr> bazhang: recovery mode, correct?
[05:02] <chris449> Onyx: then a prompt again
[05:02] <xen_> JoeyJoeJo that looks ok no?
[05:02] <bazhang> crwlr: that should do it yes
[05:02] <Onyx> chris449: login prompt, or terminal?
[05:02] <chris449> Onyx: terminal
[05:02] <CppIsWeird> thx patogen
[05:02] <crwlr> bazhang: okay, im to the prompt.  what would you like me to check?
[05:03] <Onyx> hrm.... but startx brings up the basic xorg, right?
[05:03] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: looks good to me.. have you tested it out yet?
[05:03] <misslecommander> anony: one alternative ? maybe choose different keyboard in System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layout. check to see its identified
[05:03] <Darkmystere> Well im totoally lost im trying to get my friend to test it for me but idk what To give him to access it..
[05:03] <cafuego> sdfowes: It's probably using libata, the new driver model based on scsi etc. You'll be wanting to google a way to make it use the OLD style driver instead.
[05:03] <Darkmystere> Also idk where to put files >.>
[05:03] <xen_> JoeyJoeJo just about to reboot to see how it go's, brb
[05:03] <JoeyJoeJo> ok
[05:03] <misslecommander> anony: dont make your OS unfunctional
[05:03] <Scunizi> Darkmystere: no.. the machine your on has an ip.  If you're behind a firewall it starts with 192.xxx.x.x.  If you're trying to get to the ftp server from outside the lan then you use the primary ip address of your network give by your isp. With a router installed you have to access the router configuation  and setup port forwarding for the correct  port  to your ftp server.
[05:04] <bazhang> crwlr: no x server? just black screen?
[05:04] <chris449> Onyx: yes it does
[05:04] <anony> missilecommander: System>Prefs>Keyboard Shortcuts, then assign keys. Works a charm.
[05:04] <venger> I'm wanting to dual boot windows/ubuntu.  windows is already installed on a hardware raid mirror.  i have a non-raid disk with upartitioned space to use for ubuntu.  I'm concerned about running lilo to update the mbr in this situation since raid is involved.  it seems easy to muck things up.  Is there anything i need to do specifically for this type of config? like for example install the boot bloc
[05:04] <venger> k to each member of the raid?
[05:04] <Darkmystere> oh
[05:04] <misslecommander> Darlmystere: did that work for you ?
[05:04] <ppibburr> - made a lvecd from a feisty debootstrap with added freespire packages on a laptop, worked, i put it on a desktop and it worked till the computer fried??
[05:04] <crwlr> bazhang:  just root@ubuntu:
[05:04] <ubuntu> what causes the partitioner to error out every time you try to do it guided
[05:04] <cafuego> sdfowes: I understand that;'s not immediately useful advice, but I have a meeting I need to be at
[05:04] <Onyx> chris449: It's really odd that kdm would fail, then... give me a minute to look some stuff up
[05:04] <sdfowes> cafuego, sweet. kernel keeps hanging then resuming, getting ata timeouts. happens less with media in the cd drive (hdd and cddrive on same channel) and this doesn't happen with free/net/openbsd or windows .seems to be a linux thing
[05:04] <Darkmystere> ok sec
[05:04] <chris449> Onyx: thank you :D
[05:05] <sdfowes> cafuego, much helpful.
[05:05] <dehspehl> kdm usually fails when X fails
[05:05] <bazhang> crwlr: what about startx what errors does it give
[05:05] <cafuego> righto
[05:05] <flamsmark> venger - can't you just ask the installer nicely to install lilo to the disk that you want to install ubuntu on, which isn't part of your raid?
[05:05] <Onyx> dehspehl: Yeah, my thoughts as well.
[05:05] <dehspehl> I don't think I've ever had it be a specifically kdm-related thing, that is
[05:05] <crwlr> bazhang: doin something...
[05:05] <chris449> dephspehl: X seems to be working, the startx script brings up a funny window with the mouse cursor as an x
[05:05] <misslecommander> anony: so you all set with that ?
[05:05] <venger> flamsmark, i could but what is going to boot that disk after a reboot?
[05:05] <bazhang> crwlr: spitting out errors?
[05:05] <crwlr> bazhang: i notice the colors are very off on the screen, gotta be the wrong resolution.  how do i fix it?
[05:06] <chris449> dehspehl: *not window, screen
[05:06] <anony> missilecommander: the buttons still map to the wrong slider, but the other shortcuts are working
[05:06] <mbt> !windows

[05:06] <dehspehl> chris449: well yeah, startx default configuration is pretty darn lame in Ubuntu
[05:06] <geokeratz> rescuecd
[05:06] <dehspehl> chris449: most at least give you twm :P
[05:06] <geokeratz> !rescuecd
[05:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rescuecd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:06] <flamsmark> venger - your bios
[05:06] <misslecommander> !metacity
[05:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about metacity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:06] <Darkmystere> Ok so its 192.168.2.1 its  a friend around the Block hes not connected to my Wireles
[05:06] <chris449> dehspehl: any suggestions?
[05:07] <flamsmark> venger - put that disk before the raid array in the boot order, and voila
[05:07] <geokeratz> !sysrcd
[05:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sysrcd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:07] <bazhang> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg crwlr could do; give it a try in the terminal
[05:07] <dehspehl> chris449: pastebin the error/log file
[05:07] <anony> missilecommander: AHA! System>Prefs>Sound Preferences and choose your sliders
[05:07] <venger> flamsmark, and update the bios each time i want to switch?
[05:07] <Scunizi> Darkmystere: so you are trying to access his ftp.. or is he trying  to get to yours?
[05:07] <misslecommander> anony: you good now ?
[05:07] <anony> missilecommander: yup
[05:07] <DIL_> venger, grub will handle it
[05:07] <Darkmystere> Hes trying to access mine i just made it like 10mins ago
[05:07] <chris449> dehspehl: sorry, but how?
[05:07] <anony> missilecommander: thanks
[05:07] <misslecommander> anony: very good
[05:08] <Scunizi> Darkmystere: and you have a  router?
[05:08] <Darkmystere> yep im using wireless
[05:08] <crwlr> bazhang: odd question...use kernel framebuffer device interface?
[05:08] <ubuntu> i get "an error accored wile writing the changes to the storage device .......the resize operation is aborted" i get this every time i try to install ....any ideas
[05:08] <dehspehl> chris449: startkde
[05:08] <flamsmark> no, and have the lilo installer detect windows and give you the option to boot that partition when the disk containing lilo is loaded by the bios
[05:08] <dehspehl> chris449: yeah, pasting w/o X is tricky
[05:08] <DIL_> venger, yes
[05:08] <dehspehl> chris449: if startkde doesn't work you've got other problems
[05:09] <cafuego> dehspehl: not at all, use gpm or screen.
[05:09] <xen_> JoeyJoeJo Thank you very much dude, it worked like a charm :-)
[05:09] <Scunizi> Darkmystere: so what is the IP assigned  to your router?
[05:09] <JoeyJoeJo> xen_: glad to hear it
[05:09] <chris449> dehspehl, Onyx: wow i just walk into the other room, and KDE is there and running :) thanks for your help, it was just taking time to do stuff
[05:09] <Scunizi> Darkmystere: assigned by your isp
[05:09] <Onyx> chris449: lol, no worries dude... should be easy as pie to install your system now :)
[05:09] <venger> flamsmark, now you are talking
[05:09] <ubuntu> i get "an error accored wile writing the changes to the storage device .......the resize operation is aborted" i get this every time i try to install ....any ideas
[05:09] <Darkmystere> Err id have to wireshark unless my Administrator Router Concel page will show it.. sec logging in
[05:10] <chris449> Onyx: with my luck i'll get a rare
[05:10] <Darkmystere> Never asked.. they didnt tell either
[05:10] <bazhang> crwlr: not sure--never actually had to use that command--you can always come back if the one does not work though
[05:10] <chris449> Onyx: Grub error
[05:10] <dehspehl> chris449: wait did you leave the room after trying, or doing it remotely?
[05:10] <Onyx> chris449: How come you decided to do i386 instead of amd64?
[05:10] <Scunizi> Darkmystere: consol should tell you
[05:10] <cprmpt> If I go to a terminal and type apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop and then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, will that create problems?
[05:10] <cprmpt> I mean
[05:10] <fatedkiss> does this mean i have an alternative driver running? oem3 : driver installed
[05:10] <fatedkiss>         device (14E4:4318) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)
[05:10] <jetscreamer> cprmpt: add --purge
[05:10] <cprmpt> will it smoothly put KDE on my machine?
[05:10] <crwlr> bazhang: shot 1...down the tube, no effect
[05:11] <Onyx> cprmpt: sure -- why not do kde 4 though?
[05:11] <Onyx> cprmpt: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/11/how-to-install-kde-40-in-kubuntu-710/
[05:11] <cprmpt> well, I'm not up on the times I guess - didn't know it was available :)
[05:11] <Onyx> yeah, came out recently
[05:11] <chris449> dehspehl: I left the room :$
[05:11] <cprmpt> Im running Ubuntu at the moment
[05:11] <unabatedshagi1> hi everyone, quick question: I used the configuration editor to edit the values for the gnome panel, how would I go about restoring them back to the default values?
[05:11] <sadmin> hi all
[05:11] <Onyx> cprmpt: Instructions will be the same.
[05:12] <ubuntu> please help i get "an error accored wile writing the changes to the storage device .......the resize operation is aborted" i get this every time i try to install ....any ideas
[05:12] <sadmin> i am doing my ubuntu ldap client
[05:12] <sadmin> how i do that
[05:12] <chris449> Onyx: i'm compiling a program for my dad that's designed to run on DSLinux on hardware that's i386
[05:12] <dru> would like some help, anyone that can assist ... pm me
[05:12] <sadmin> actually i want to test ldap with ppolicy
[05:12] <Onyx> chris449: Ahhh okay
[05:12] <chris449> Onyx: I've also heard about compatibility issues with many programs and 64bit OS's in general
[05:12] <dru> my problem is .... http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7971/screenshotrn6.png
[05:12] <Onyx> chris449: Yeah, there's a couple of issues, but I've been able to work around most (all) of them
[05:12] <what_if> how do I change the actions of my multimedia keys ??
[05:12] <Scunizi> Darkmystere: once you find the real ip your friend should enter the ip then a colon and the port you forwarded  to your machine that matches the port that the ftp server is set up for...
[05:13] <thinh1977> where to i find the icon for the different programs at?
[05:13] <Onyx> what_if: Use compiz-config
[05:13] <bazhang> http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto crwlr this link may help
[05:13] <what_if> Onyx: compiz not installed :)
[05:13] <Onyx> thinh1977: /usr/share/pixmaps
[05:13] <chris449> Onyx: I had enough trouble installing i386 version, though if all goes well, i might install x64 once iv'e done this for my dad
[05:13] <Onyx> what_if: Oh... well disregard that then :P
[05:13] <dru> http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7971/screenshotrn6.png ....
[05:13] <sadmin> i make my ubuntu ldap client
[05:13] <dru> can anyone help?
[05:14] <crwlr> thx bazhang, ill give it a shot
[05:14] <sadmin> but when i try to login it says permission denied
[05:14] <sadmin> any idea
[05:14] <thinh1977> i mean under what folder are the icon picture at?  i have installed software but they dont show up on menu so now i have to add them manually
[05:14] <cprmpt> do I have to kill X before I run that command to remove ubuntu-desktop?
[05:14] <bazhang> dru: could you give a brief description of your problem; not everyone has x
[05:14] <Onyx> chris449: I don't know why you couldn't compile in i386 compatibility on an amd64 system, but it's been a while since I compiled a program of my own.
[05:14] <flamsmark> venger - see, a master scheme in action
[05:15] <Onyx> cprmpt: It would be very smart to do that... sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[05:15] <cprmpt> well
[05:15] <cprmpt> I meant, does X need to be stopped
[05:15] <cprmpt> not literally kill it
[05:15] <Onyx> cprmpt: Yes.
[05:15] <cprmpt> cool
[05:15] <cprmpt> alright, later
[05:15] <SeabassTKE> i'm having a problem moving windows from desktops on one monitor to the other, i think it has something to do with beryl or something, anyone know how to fix that?

[05:17] <adrock358> HOW DO I MODIFY MY menu.lst FILE FROM LIVE CD?
[05:17] <chris449> Onyx: i've never compiled a program of this size before (it's pretty small comparatively, but i've just started out programming) and i didn't realise you could compile in compatibility mode
[05:17] <Onyx> adrock358: YOU GO TO /boot/grub/menu.lst THEN YOU CAN MODIFY IT
[05:17] <Onyx> adrock358: It's also nice not to yell :)
[05:17] <jonathan8di> What chat room should I go to to get help with networking (I bought a domain name and now I want to host my own website...I'm not sure where to start.)

[05:18] <Onyx> jonathan8di: What do you want to do?  Been hosting websites for a long time now... I can probably help
[05:18] <adrock358> onyx bash: /boot/grub/menu.lst: No such file or directory
[05:18] <Upintilldawn> i am looking for some info on how to start up my sl-modem-daemon
[05:19] <Onyx> adrock358: Now that I think about it, grub wouldn't be installed on a livecd
[05:19] <desertc> dru: what did you do to your configuration?
[05:19] <jonathan8di> Onyx:  I just want set up my own personal website.
[05:19] <ubuntu> ppibburr that is what i entend to do
[05:19] <dru> nothin
[05:19] <Onyx> jonathan8di: Do you want to host it yourself, or pay for hosting, or what?
[05:19] <SeabassTKE> i'm willing to bet that some of u guys are running dual monitors, anyone else have trouble moving windows from one to the other, i have cube running and if i drag it to the edge instead of going to the other window, it goes to another desktop on the same screen, any ideas?
[05:19] <dru> desertc: nothing, just signed on and it was like that
[05:19] <zeek> hi------------------------------- is it true to install ubuntu is needed internet connection?
[05:19] <adrock358> How do I modify my menu.lst file from the live cd?
[05:19] <ppibburr> ubuntu: make sure windows is shutdown properly
[05:19] <dru> jonathan8di: hostnewway.com
[05:19] <thinh1977> does the launcher only accepts svg files?
[05:20] <jonathan8di> I'm open to third party hosting but I would like to try and host it myself, if that's even possible
[05:20] <Onyx> adrock358: What do you want to do that for?  The livecd does not need to run grub
[05:20] <adrock358> Anybody know?
[05:20] <ubuntu> ppibburr already have twice
[05:20] <Onyx> dru: did you change anything in your settings?
[05:20] <Upintilldawn>  i am looking for some info on how to start up my sl-modem-daemon
[05:21] <adrock358> Does anybody know how to modify boot files---while--i'm on the LiveCD?
[05:21] <dru> Onyx: no, just signed on and it had a red sign over my sound
[05:21] <dru> Onyx: http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7971/screenshotrn6.png
[05:21] <ubuntu> ppibburr after i get the error the only option the partitioner gives me is to use the whole disk
[05:21] <Onyx> dru: looking at that right now -- doesn't really say a whole lot.  did you reboot recently?
[05:21] <adrock358> Nobody Eh?
[05:21] <desertc> dru: Hard to believe you didn't change any settings... well, anyway, try reinstalling gstreamer
[05:21] <zeek> hi.................. anyone could help me?
[05:22] <crwlr> bazhang: do you think it could be my lcds?  i haven't found any way to fix the problem
[05:22] <Onyx> adrock358: You've failed to answer my question.
[05:22] <desertc> !ask |zeek
[05:22] <ubotu> zeek: 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. :-)
[05:22] <dru> Onyx: yes
[05:22] <Scunizi> adrock358: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.1st
[05:22] <ppibburr> ubuntu: seems like the ntfs is marked open, is the pending partion reize lare enough?
[05:22] <Upintilldawn>  i am looking for some info on how to start up my sl-modem-daemon. i need to get the modem to work with this laptop
[05:22] <ArthurArchnix> adrock358: Sure. You just need to unmount the disk (since live cd probably already mounted it read only) then remount it with r/w.
[05:22] <dru> desertc: i diddnt and i searched gstreamer in the synap and installed everything on that list
[05:22] <ubuntu> ppibburr 53 gig
[05:22] <Onyx> dru: Chances are it didn't load up your module.  can you go to a terminal and type lshw and tell me what sound card that lists?
[05:23] <jonathan8di> dru: wow!  20.30/year, that's the cheapest I've seen so far!
[05:23] <dru> jonathan9dh: i know we are the cheapest
[05:23] <zeek> ubotu, thank you
[05:23] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[05:23] <bazhang> crwlr: I would wiggle the connector for the lcd--if it is an odd green color--I had that issue once before
[05:23] <dru> onyx: how do i know which one is the sound card
[05:24] <Onyx> jonathan8di: If you want really good webhosting, phpwebhosting is phenomenal.
[05:24] <jonathan8di> dru:  so I guess you own and/or work for this company?
[05:24] <Onyx> dru: it should say "sound"
[05:24] <jetscreamer> lspci |grep -i audio
[05:24] <zeek> ubotu, I want to install ubuntu, is it need internet connection (using live-cd)
[05:24] <Onyx> dru: make that "multimedia"
[05:24] <jetscreamer> zeek: no you don't 'need' one it's nice to have though
[05:25] <dru> onyx: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52979/
[05:25] <ubuntu> ppibburr should i just try the alt install cd and see what happens ?
[05:25] <dru> jonathan8di: my friend owns it .. i get free hosting if i refer every now and again
[05:25] <Upintilldawn> i am looking for some info on how to start up my sl-modem-daemon. i need to get the modem to work with this laptop
[05:25] <jetscreamer> the hd intel one
[05:25] <adrock358> Scunizi can i open it in gedit?
[05:26] <Onyx> dru: sudo nano /etc/module.conf
[05:26] <jetscreamer> now lsmod | grep -i intel
[05:26] <ppibburr> ubuntu: try it.
[05:26] <jetscreamer> check for is it loaded first
[05:26] <zeek> jetscreamer: so, all the drivers have beed included?
[05:26] <Onyx> dru: once in that file, options snd_hda_intel model=3stack position_fix=1
[05:26] <ubuntu> thanks every body
[05:26] <jetscreamer> do what onyx says
[05:27] <SeabassTKE> quick question, anyone running dual monitors and desktop cube together?
[05:27] <jetscreamer> zeek: (i don't know)
[05:27] <ppibburr> i made a livecd from a feisty debootstrap for i386 on a amd64 laptop, worked, ran it on a desktop and it fried. that normal?
[05:27] <adrock358> ArthurArchnix do you know how to open menu.lst in gedit?
[05:27] <jetscreamer> sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:27] <Onyx> dru: also make sure you don't have some other sound modules loading.
[05:27] <zeek> jetscreamer, thank you
[05:28] <dru> onyx: i typed it
[05:28] <dru> i dont know what to do now
[05:28] <jetscreamer> err
[05:28] <Onyx> dru: ctrl+o to save the file, ctrl+x to exit
[05:28] <Onyx> dru: reboot, and it should be working.
[05:28] <jetscreamer> ah
[05:28] <l3ttuc3> i unmounted a partition in gnome (nautilus) i can manually mount it back, but it's little icon does not appear back on the desktop, how do i manage that please?
[05:28] <dru> onyx: if it doesnt ill come back in
[05:28] <jonathan8di> Dru and Onyx: phpwebhosting looks a little more pricey then I wanted.  I'm just doing this for fun.  How does hostnewway work?  Will it allow me to run server side scripting?
[05:28] <kr00l> Anyone know how to set up a ubuntu home server?
[05:29] <jetscreamer> install stuff.. hey presto, a server
[05:29] <en3r0> out of 1000 people, someone must be here right?
[05:29] <jetscreamer> no noone is here
[05:29] <jetscreamer> we are all bots
[05:29] <Onyx> jonathan8di: sometimes you get what you pay for with web hosting...
[05:29] <en3r0> dang
[05:29] <jetscreamer> 1166
[05:29] <l3ttuc3> en3r0 1166 people actually.
[05:30] <Onyx> en3r0: did you need help with something?
[05:30] <jetscreamer> !ask
[05:30] <ubotu> 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. :-)
[05:30] <en3r0> not really, just came to lurk
[05:30] <l3ttuc3> me me me, first :P.
[05:30] <jetscreamer> me too
[05:30] <Upintilldawn> i am looking for some info on how to start up my sl-modem-daemon. i need to get the modem to work with this laptop
[05:30] <Onyx> jonathan8di: If you're just hosting a basic web site, best to do it on your own with apache and save the cash
[05:31] <Onyx> dru: How's that work?
[05:31] <jonathan8di> Onyx:  Ok, so is there a tutorial or some site I can go to get started?
[05:31] <dru> onyx: it diddnt work, and now it has my resolution at 1440 x 1110 and no sound
[05:31] <MirJA> jonathan8di, why dont you try free webhosting? its available allllll over the netttt
[05:31] <adrock358> jetscreamer.  yeah, i'm in LiveCD though.  Know how to edit system files--while--in the LiveCD?
[05:31] <dru> onyx: plus i cant reset the resolution
[05:31] <jetscreamer> Upintilldawn: m-a a-i sl-modem i think.. not sure all i know, there is a factoid on ubuntu site how to install it
[05:31] <jonathan8di> Onyx:  apache is open source server software?
[05:31] <Onyx> dru: I assure you that has nothing to do with editing your modules.conf...
[05:31] <jonathan8di> Will it be like a DNS?
[05:31] <ppibburr> apache rocks
[05:32] <Onyx> jonathan8di: yes, apache is open source, and it's totally awesome
[05:32] <jonathan8di> MirJA:  What are you referring to?
[05:32] <jetscreamer> adrock358: what are you trying to do? the livecd doesn't use grub does it? i forget
[05:32] <MirJA> jonathan8di, i ma referring to ww.google.com :)
[05:33] <jetscreamer> or do you mean on the hd you want to edit it... mount the partition
[05:33] <MirJA> am*
[05:33] <en3r0> LAMP for Life
[05:33] <dru> jonathan8di: what kind of website are you opening
[05:33] <adrock358> jetscreamer.  no.  im trying to edit my menu/lst from LiveCD
[05:33] <ppibburr> SALE: ssi Apache Lunux eruby
[05:33] <dru> onyx: what now?
[05:33] <jonathan8di> dru:  just personal.  It's just a "for fun" project so I can learn some new technology and skillz
[05:33] <adrock358> Does anyone know how to edit your menu.lst file--from LiveCD?
[05:33] <jetscreamer> adrock358: mount the partition, and edit it. it would be /mountpoint/boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:33] <ArthurArchnix> adrock358: Which menu.lst
[05:34] <crwlr> bazhang: you there?
[05:34] <MirJA> jonathan8di, pick the one that suits you. http://www.free-webhosts.com/
[05:34] <dru> jonathan8di: ebay is always the safest bet then, webhosting for 5 bucks a year
[05:34] <vontux> hello, how would I reinstall xorg?
[05:34] <jonathan8di> I'm thinking of maybe writing some programming tutorials
[05:34] <Onyx> jonathan8di: http://www.debianadmin.com/apache2-web-server-with-php-support-in-ubuntu.html
[05:34] <dru> jonathan8di: what language?
[05:34] <vontux> also if I copy an x.org file that works from live-cd, why won't it work on my hd install?
[05:34] <bazhang> crwlr: sure!
[05:34] <Onyx> dru: Can you paste your modules.conf file?
[05:34] <crwlr> bazhang: absolutely no luck...
[05:34] <adrock358> jetscreamer bash: /mountpoint/boot/grub/menu.lst: No such file or directory
[05:34] <fatedkiss> so i cant get my wifi card to work after reinstalling ubuntu
[05:34] <dru> onyx: how do i open it again ... lol
[05:35] <chris449> jonathan8di: running a server on your own computer, like Onyx is suggesting, is fun, you're not limited to web you can do other stuff too
[05:35] <jetscreamer> adrock358: you have to mount it, and substitute where you mounted it for /mountpoint/
[05:35] <crwlr> OMG BAZHANG!!!  For some reason it works now!!!
[05:35] <dru> chris449: its also hella expensive
[05:35] <bazhang> crwlr: are there some settings..oh good
[05:35] <zack> hey can someone help me with dvd playback in ubuntu, is it illegal???
[05:35] <MirJA> zack, sure
[05:35] <jetscreamer> zack: depends on where you are
[05:36] <bazhang> zack depends where you live
[05:36] <ppibburr> depends
[05:36] <jetscreamer> if it's illegal
[05:36] <chris449> dru: how? are you charged for data uploads?
[05:36] <crwlr> bazhang: all i did was plug a 15" crt into it...didnt work, so i restarted it with my lcds plugged back in and whalla
[05:36] <adrock358> jetscreamer you mean where i want to mount it?  like on the desktop?
[05:36] <zack> jetscreamer, im in the US and A
[05:36] <bazhang> crwlr: nice work!
[05:36] <dru> chriss449: a server from your computer ... dont that cost like 10 grand in equipment alone
[05:36] <IndyGunFreak> then technically, yes its illegal zack
[05:36] <crwlr> bazhang: now i just gotta figure out the twinview stuff
[05:36] <venger> under avanced, device for boot loader installation says (hd0), since all my drives are sda, sdb, sdc: does that mean the 1st drive which is sda?
[05:36] <jetscreamer> adrock358: mount the partition, on /mnt for instance. then edit /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:36] <zack> I dont get it
[05:36] <zack> why ?
[05:36] <vontux> if I copy an x.org file that works from live-cd, why won't it work on my hd install?
[05:36] <crwlr> but before that i need a smoke, so brb bazhang
[05:36] <Onyx> dru: My mistake dude...
[05:37] <fatedkiss> bcmwl5 : driver installed
[05:37] <fatedkiss>         device (14E4:4318) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)
[05:37] <fatedkiss> , can someone tell me what alternate driver is?
[05:37] <zack> so i can't legally play dvds! that i own!
[05:37] <Onyx> dru: You want /etc/modules
[05:37] <jonathan8di> dru: I only know c, c++, Java, and Javascript.  But I plan on learning Python (or maybe ruby...or scala, that looks cool too) over the next year, so in one or more of the above languages.  The tutorials won't be on learning the languages but more on special topics and effective programming.
[05:37] <jetscreamer> or /media/sda1/boot/grub/menu.lst ... wherever it gets mounted
[05:37] <chris449> dru: I did it with a AUD$500 laptop, had a web and counter strike source server going
[05:37] <zack> thats obserd
[05:37] <ppibburr> ruby rocks!
[05:37] <jetscreamer> absurd
[05:37] <zack> sp
[05:37] <zack> thans
[05:37] <zack> thanks
[05:37] <adrock358> jetscreamer what's the full command to mount the partition
[05:37] <dru> onyx: so how do i get in the modules again?
[05:37] <chris449> dru: you can run a server on anything that can run linux :P just to varying degrees of success
[05:37] <zack> indyguyfreak, why is it illegal?
[05:37] <Onyx> dru: sudo nano /etc/modules
[05:37] <IndyGunFreak> zack: i wouldn't worry about why, you're going to watch DVDs, that you purchased and or rent, it should't be a prob.  The issue seems with how Ubuntu unscrambles coded DVDs
[05:38] <jetscreamer> adrock358: that depends on what it is and where it is.. usually something like mount /dev/hda1 , if it's in fstab.. otherwise, mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /mnt   or whatever
[05:38] <ArthurArchnix> zack:  That's too bad. If you lived somewhere else you could use these instructions to get DVD playings. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu   Too bad. :(
[05:38] <dru> onyx: now?
[05:38] <SeabassTKE> anyone know how to drag something across monitors without the cube turning instead?
[05:38] <jetscreamer> you need libdvdcss2 for the dvds
[05:38] <IndyGunFreak> ArthurArchnix: lol
[05:38] <Onyx> dru: make sure the you have this line:
[05:38] <bazhang> crwlr: check !twinview command for that
[05:38] <Onyx> dru: options snd_hda_intel model=3stack position_fix=1
[05:38] <IndyGunFreak> !dvd | zack just install libdvdcss and don't worry about it
[05:38] <ubotu> zack just install libdvdcss and don't worry about it: 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
[05:38] <ppibburr> linux dvd decryption a 14 yr old cracked it right?
[05:39] <IndyGunFreak> ppibburr: probably
[05:39] <fatedkiss> , can someone tell me what alternate driver is?
[05:39] <dru> onyx: thats it?
[05:39] <fatedkiss>         device (14E4:4318) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)
[05:39] <Onyx> ppibburr: I think so, yeah
[05:39] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo crwlr
[05:39] <ArthurArchnix> ppibburr: I think you're thinking of the HDDVD
[05:39] <Onyx> dru: yep, save it and exit
[05:39] <zack> Can anyone tell me why it is illegal?
[05:39] <patogen> How come my video output from all files look terrible? It doesn't matter if I have codecs installed or not
[05:39] <NotLarry> Ok, this is the wrong channel for this, but I made a mistake and totally hosed my apache2 installation on my lamp setup of 7.10. I have tried to apt-get apache2 but can't seem to get it running again.  any suggestions on getting my originally installed setup short of reinstalling the os?
[05:39] <IndyGunFreak> zack: i just did
[05:39] <adrock358> How do i log in as root?
[05:39] <IndyGunFreak> !root | adrock358
[05:39] <ubotu> adrock358: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[05:39] <dru> onyx: ctrl+o, then enter ... then ctrl+x ... then reboot?
[05:39] <jetscreamer> adrock358: add sudo in front
[05:40] <Onyx> dru: Yeah
[05:40] <jetscreamer> dru: yes, or just ctrl+x.. it will ask you if you want to save
[05:40] <ArthurArchnix> That is funny.
[05:40] <jetscreamer> nano -w rules btw
[05:40] <jonathan8di> chris449:  won't I need 2 DNS to host myself?
[05:40] <spacecat> hey
[05:40] <venger> I'm installing 7.10 Desktop. under advanced -> device for boot loader installation says (hd0), since all my drives are sda, sdb, sdc: does that mean the 1st drive which would be sda?
[05:40] <spacecat> should i put ubuntu or fedora on my labtop
[05:40] <jetscreamer> yes venger
[05:40] <venger> jetscreamer, thanks for the response
[05:40] <Onyx> venger: Yep.  Grub calls all drives, regardless of type, "hd"
[05:40] <sadmin> hey
[05:40] <jetscreamer> grub counts from 0 btw
[05:41] <sadmin> guys i make my ubuntu dapper
[05:41] <chris449> jonathan8di: i'm not sure sorry, i got people to type in http://60.241.x.x
[05:41] <sadmin> ldap client when i login to my ldap user it says
[05:41] <sadmin> nyousuf@localhost's password:
[05:41] <sadmin> Permission denied, please try again.
[05:41] <ArthurArchnix> !enter | sadmin
[05:41] <sadmin> what this mean
[05:41] <ubotu> sadmin: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:41] <IndyGunFreak> why did you install dapper, would be my first question
[05:41] <Onyx> jonathan8di: In your domain configuration, you just need to add your IP as the DNS, so yes.
[05:41] <sadmin> okwho me
[05:42] <spacecat> hey
[05:42] <ArthurArchnix> IndyGunFreak: LTS most likely
[05:42] <zack> indygunfreak, all you said was that there is an issue with ubuntu unscramling coded dvds
[05:42] <sadmin> indyGunFreak
[05:42] <dru> onyx: still nothing
[05:42] <sadmin> ?
[05:42] <Rei-chan> !ot > zack
[05:42] <zack> IF someone can't answer my question im going back to windows where i don't have to break the law (at least not to play my own dvd's)
[05:42] <IndyGunFreak> ArthurArchnix: probably, but assujming he's not payhing for support, its kinda useless
[05:42] <Onyx> dru: modprobe snd_hda_intel
[05:42] <levander> In evolution, how do I get it so that when I delete a message it doesn't just draw a line through it, but moves it to the Trash folder?
[05:42] <IndyGunFreak> zack: if you really wan tto know, Google holds the answers, I told you the basic issue.
[05:42] <sadmin> well its a  old system i have implement ldap with ppolicy so i jaust wana check it with ubuntu
[05:42] <jetscreamer> zack: ok
[05:42] <ppibburr> zack: the decryption is unlicsensed
[05:42] <ArthurArchnix> zack: Read the links man. You pay money for windows and windows pays some of that money to the people who own the patent for dvd decryption.
[05:42] <dru> onyx:FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel not found.
[05:42] <Rei-chan> zack: You are free to use whatever operating system you want. This is a support channel, not #law.
[05:42] <jetscreamer> cya
[05:42] <bazhang> zack: go to www.medibuntu.org and read around
[05:42] <IndyGunFreak> zack: then go back to windows,, obody really cares... we told you the issue.
[05:43] <levander> zack: don't be an idiot about panties
[05:43] <Onyx> dru: Ah, that would be why it's not working... you need to compile that module.
[05:43] <crwlr> bazhang: crap dude, my wireless drivers aren't installed...!belkin 54g usb
[05:43] <dru> onyx: how?
[05:43]  * ArthurArchnix marvels at the zack attack... oops. 
[05:43] <Onyx> dru: Give me a sec to find it.
[05:43] <chris449> Onyx: would you have to run a program if the DNS is pointing at your computer, or is that it?
[05:43] <crwlr> !belkin 54g usb
[05:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about belkin 54g usb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:43] <dru> onyx: thanks
[05:43]  * IndyGunFreak joins #prison to talk about the negative side of decrypting DVDs
[05:43] <jonathan8di> chris449:  So your saying people put your ip address directly into their browser, right?
[05:43] <ppibburr> haha
[05:43] <chris449> crwlr: belkin hardware is terrible, their support is good though
[05:44] <chris449> jonathan8di: yeap, and counter strike source. It didn't last long and i was only doing it for fun
[05:44] <Onyx> chris449: AFAIK, you don't need to run anything separate.
[05:44] <Turel> how can i manage my hdd ?
[05:44] <ppibburr> any one familar with remastering?
[05:44] <patogen> How come my video output from all files look terrible? It doesn't matter if I have codecs installed or not
[05:44] <levander> Oh come on, no one uses evolution?
[05:45] <dru> patogen: same for me
[05:45] <ArthurArchnix> levander: Used to. But then didn't like the idea of being tied to gnome forever. What's the issue
[05:45] <flamsmark> i wonder if there's been sufficient user turnover in this channel th re-ask my question yet? i have been attempting to install (using the alternate disk) root in an encrypted container on a raid5 array. though i have succeeded before on this very system, this time, i am failing miserably. i am open to suggestions that involve using the same hardware to implement a slightly different procedure that achieves the same goals. i
[05:45] <flamsmark>  have just under two gig at the end of one disk which is otherwise in use, and three large disks. backups are handled separately, and remotely, but i want to have a fault- (if no mistake-) tolerant system. what am i almost certainly doing wrong, or what should i be doing right?
[05:45] <jonathan8di> Onyx:  Ohhh!  Thanks.  I was confused on that.  So when godaddy.com ask for DNS, I can just put my one IP address, right?
[05:45] <Turel> there is an empty partition on my disk. how can i manage it ?
[05:45] <patogen> dru: No idea how to fix it?
[05:45] <patogen> dru: The videos look normal in win xp and mac os x
[05:45] <dru> patogen: nope i tryed everything
[05:45] <Onyx> jonathan8di: Yup
[05:45] <jonathan8di> Onyx:  But goDaddy asks for a minimun of 2 DNS.
[05:45] <patogen> dru: That sucks =/
[05:45] <Onyx> jonathan8di: Just list it twice
[05:45] <dru> patogen: yes
[05:45] <levander> ArthurArchnix: When I click on delete on a message, evolution just draws a line through the message summary in the INBOX window.  I want it to act like normal mail readers, and move the mail to the Trash folder.
[05:46] <jetscreamer> lol@flamsmark
[05:46] <Turel> --**--**--** how can i manage my hdd partitions ????--**--**--**--**--**
[05:46] <ppibburr> turel fdisk
[05:46]  * jetscreamer waves
[05:46] <CruCio> Help ?
[05:46] <Rei-chan> jonathan8di: In the custom nameserver thing, you should not be putting IPs, but ns entries.
[05:46] <CruCio> how do i install somthing on ubuntu ?
[05:46] <Rei-chan> !ask > crucio
[05:47] <ppibburr> turel: gparted
[05:47] <chris449> Onyx: this may sound dumb, but why does a domain registrar need DNS servers?
[05:47] <puff> Hi... odd question here. I'm trying to back up an old win98 box before I reformat it for ubuntu.
[05:47] <CruCio> ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-6.0-linux-ppc.tgz
[05:47] <CruCio> on my ubuntu
[05:47] <CruCio> i want to install that file above
[05:47] <Rei-chan> crucio: Are you at command line?
[05:47] <IndyGunFreak> why is that odd?
[05:47] <adrock358> I'm on LiveCD and mounted my hard drive on Desktop.  how to I access menu.lst from it in gedit?
[05:47] <CruCio> terminal ?
[05:47] <puff> It only has a 2GB drive;  I should be able to fit that on my ipod nano! :-)
[05:47] <chris449> *punches self for saying DNS servers* shoudl just be DNS
[05:47] <jetscreamer> chris449: so they know where to tell computers that want to know where you are where to look to find out where you are
[05:47] <dru> onyx: any luck?
[05:47] <flamsmark> oh, jetscreamer, how it hurts me to hear you laugh at my pain
[05:47] <ArthurArchnix> levander: Very strange. I didn't mess around too much with the default install, but I never noticed anything like that.
[05:47] <Rei-chan> crucio: Yes. type apt-get install java2, we use apt in Ubuntu.
[05:47] <Onyx> chris449: because the registrar tells the domain where to "go" when the URL is typed into a browser.  A URL is really just a "frontend" if you will
[05:47] <levander> CruCio: System -> Administration -> Synaptic
[05:47] <puff> IndyGunFreak: Well, I'm looking for some windows help, so I can get off windows.
[05:48] <Onyx> dru: almost got it, give me a minute
[05:48] <CruCio> dude, i tried everything
[05:48] <IndyGunFreak> puff:  i mean why is it an issue backing up your windos drive?
[05:48] <levander> ArthurArchnix: Maybe it's because I'm using IMAP or Maildir?
[05:48] <CruCio> and that never worked for me
[05:48] <puff> It's my mom's old laptop, I want to back it up before I reformat, in case she forgot and left an important file on it.
[05:48] <cotton> im trying to use synaptic package manager with linux ubuntu 7.04 and i get a message that says
[05:48] <CruCio> and to let you know am using a ps3
[05:48] <cotton> "E:Malformed line 46 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist)
[05:48] <cotton> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[05:48] <cotton> Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem
[05:48] <cotton> E:_cache->open()failed, please report."
[05:48] <puff> IndyGunFreak: An issue?  Uhm, because I know almost nothing about windows.
[05:48] <FloodBot3> cotton: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:48] <jetscreamer> fix it cotton
[05:48] <adrock358>  I'm on LiveCD and mounted my hard drive on Desktop.  Does anybody know how I access menu.lst from it in gedit?
[05:48] <ArthurArchnix> levander: Perhaps. I usually went to the gnome forums for my troubles. And I seem to recall there being an evolution irc channel I went to once too.... I'll see if I can dig it up
[05:48] <jetscreamer> edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:49] <Onyx> dru: dru: sudo aptitude install alsa-source linux-backports-modules-generic
[05:49] <cotton> yeah what am i supost to change it to
[05:49] <puff> IndyGunFreak: I plugged my nano into this things USB port (it's a thinkpad) but I can't tell if it's workig or not.
[05:49] <chris449> Onyx: oh i see, so it doesn't ask for the IP of the host, but rather the DNS servers that will contain the IP of the host?
[05:49] <levander> ArthurArchnix: I've been there, but it's not a heavily trafficed server.  Did you get any help there?
[05:49] <IndyGunFreak> puff: are you on Ubuntu now or Windows... I'm assumig you're using a Live CD, right?
[05:49] <adrock358>  I'm on LiveCD and mounted my hard drive on Desktop.  Does anybody know how I access menu.lst from it in gedit?
[05:50] <jonathan8di> Onyx/chris44/dru:  Can you explain to me what will happen once I change the DNS to my IP address?  What will happen when I then try to access my domain name through a web browser?  What will my PC return from that request (right now I don't have any special "server" software installed.)
[05:50] <Onyx> chris449: Depends how the DNS is set up, but yeah, that's the idea
[05:50] <ppibburr> adrock: kate MOUNTED/path/to/file
[05:50] <CruCio> Rei-chan , did what you just said and it says E: couldn't find package java2
[05:50] <cotton> jetscreamer:im at the /ect/apt/sources.list but what am i supost to do with it
[05:50] <puff> IndyGunFreak: Right now it's booted up under win98.  I have an ubuntu live CD, yeah.
[05:50] <Onyx> jonathan8di: It will probably say that there is no server configure
[05:50] <adrock358> Nobody?
[05:50] <Onyx> d*
[05:50] <Onyx> adrock358: What?
[05:50] <puff> Is it feasible to boot it under the live CD and back it up?
[05:50] <Turel> ppibburr: thnx a lot dude...
[05:50] <IndyGunFreak> puff: i have no clue what you're talkin gabout.
[05:50] <ppibburr> yes
[05:50] <venger> flamsmark, you said you got it installed it's just after you reboot that it fails?
[05:50] <ppibburr> turel: welcome
[05:50] <adrock358> Anybody?
[05:50] <IndyGunFreak> how do you have it booted up under Windows?
[05:50] <jetscreamer> puff: sure, just dd the hd somewhere
[05:50] <Onyx> dru: let me know when that's done
[05:51] <ArthurArchnix> levander: Yeah. But I had a simple question. Take a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-79752.html
[05:51] <marbig> Hi all. I've posted a problem on the ubuntu forums. As yet have had no replies. Maybe someone here can help. Basically some websites I get to are all cluttered and overlapping. I use 7.10 and Firefox. See the picture here for an example (in red circle). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/marbig/overlap.jpg
[05:51] <dru> i lost my ubunto disc
[05:51] <Perdente> hi everyone, I have a PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection card which worked fine for me, but after the last update my wireless isn't recognized anymore, does anyone know what to do?
[05:51] <dru> and its asking for it
[05:51] <flamsmark> venger, talking of my problem, yes, it is only after the reboot that i am aware of anything having gone wrong
[05:51] <adrock358> ........Jetscreamer?

[05:51] <Onyx> dru: Burn another one?

[05:51] <dru> im on dsl
[05:51] <clagra> join /#ubuntu-de

[05:51] <Onyx> hrm...
[05:52] <adrock358> genii are you there?
[05:52] <dru> onyx: nvm found it
[05:52] <CruCio> well guess you guys are no help
[05:52] <Onyx> dru: Heh...
[05:52] <CruCio> am out
[05:52] <ppibburr> adrock: the file is in the mounted directory
[05:52] <venger> flamsmark, i haven't done what you are trying but i did see this hit and wonder if it has to do with the crypt setup: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=669282
[05:52] <dru> onyx: while im waiting ... can you tell me how to run crossover?
[05:52] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: what is your malfunction?
[05:52] <Onyx> jonathan8di: It's probably best to get apache up and running first
[05:52] <invitado> hola alguien sabe de algun programa para hacer folletos ,
[05:52] <CruCio> i want to install ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-6.0-linux-ppc.tgz on my ubuntu
[05:52] <invitado> sorry
[05:52] <dru> onyx: i installed it, i think, i ran the .deb file then nothing else came up except for a .sh file. then when i try to open that it just says run with crossover
[05:53] <CruCio> do i have to unzip it ?
[05:53] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: its in the repos, install it from there
[05:53] <IndyGunFreak> !java | CruCio
[05:53] <ubotu> CruCio: 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)
[05:53] <CruCio> and how do i do that gunfreak ?
[05:53] <dru> onyx: it isnt recognizing the disc
[05:53] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: open Synaptic package Manager, (System/Admin/Synaptic)
[05:54] <adrock358> ppibburr it says i don't have permission to modify it.  i need to edit it.
[05:54] <dru> onyx: Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press [Enter].
[05:54] <ppibburr> sudo
[05:54] <ppibburr> adrock: sudo
[05:54] <Onyx> dru: You'll want to chmod +x the .sh files, then run them
[05:54] <flamsmark> venger, that went right over my head
[05:54] <jonathan8di> Onyx:  How do I know if I have a dynamic or static IP?  I guess it will cause problems if it is dynamic.
[05:54] <chris449> Onyx: (k)ubuntu finished installing, but it seems it didn't install GRUB, any suggestions on how i should go about installing it?
[05:54] <flamsmark> i was hoping for it just to work. as it does on my laptop, which doesn't have a raid
[05:54] <Onyx> jonathan8di: If you're not on dialup, you can safely pick static -- your IP rarely changes.
[05:55] <Perdente> hi everyone, I have a PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection card which worked fine for me, but after the last update my wireless isn't recognized anymore, does anyone know what to do?
[05:55] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: did you get lost?
[05:55] <Onyx> chris449: sudo apt-get install grub
[05:55] <dru> onyx: thanks
[05:55] <jonathan8di> Rei-chan:  Why can't I put my on IP?
[05:55] <Onyx> chris449: Are you sure it didn't install grub?
[05:55] <adrock358> ppibburr i'm opening the file directly though
[05:55] <CruCio> ok i just did what u said indygunfreak
[05:55] <Onyx> dru: Got it working?
[05:55] <jonathan8di> Rei-chan:  Why do I have to go through a name server?
[05:55] <dru> onyx: read pm
[05:55] <dru> onyx: just the crossover
[05:55] <CruCio> i see 3dchess
[05:55] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: in Synaptick, Click Settings, and Repositories
[05:55] <chris449> Onyx: nope i'm not sure, but it booted straight to windows after the BIOS
[05:55] <Onyx> dru: Hrm, didn't get a PM...
[05:55] <Rei-chan> jonathan8di: Ask Godaddy. :)
[05:55] <ppibburr> adrock: sudo [editor] /path/to/file
[05:56] <Onyx> chris449: Ahhh okay, you definitely need to install it then
[05:56] <dru> hm, i thought i sent one
[05:56] <Tatsh> anyone here use vsftpd for ftp?
[05:56] <Onyx> dru: Is your nickname registered?  If not you can't send PMs
[05:56] <dru> oh
[05:56] <dru> i feel stupid now
[05:56] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: you there?
[05:56] <CruCio> ok indygunfreak
[05:56] <CruCio> yes
[05:56] <CruCio>  i am
[05:56] <chris449> Onyx: any suggestions as to how? i have a super GRUB disc lying around somewhere, or should i stick back in the ubuntu live cd?
[05:56] <Onyx> dru: /msg nickserv register PASSWORD email@whatever.com
[05:57] <dru> in the irc?
[05:57] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: on that first tab (Ubuntu software) are all those boxes checked?
[05:57] <ppibburr> adrock: what do you mean directly?
[05:57] <CruCio> nope
[05:57] <jonathan8di> I don't understand.  I thought paying to register my domain name meant that I got to pick what IP address it maps to.
[05:57] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: whats not checked?
[05:57] <CruCio> their all unchecked
[05:57] <Onyx> chris449: If you bring up the livecd, before it actually loads up the OS, you can pass options to it to boot your Ubuntu system.  From there, you can install grub (after it's loaded)
[05:57] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: what versikon of Ubuntu are you using?
[05:57] <l3ttuc3> i unmounted a partition in gnome (nautilus) i can manually mount it back, but it's little icon does not appear back on the desktop, how do i manage that please?
[05:58] <CruCio> version ?
[05:58] <chris449> Onyx: ok thought so, rebooting computer now :)
[05:58] <CruCio> 7.10 Gutsy
[05:58] <Onyx> chris449: Let me know when you need some help :P
[05:58] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: hm, ok.. well on that first tab, check them all except source code.
[05:58] <Onyx> chris449: It should be easy enough to do from the package manager -- just select grub, then run the grub setup
[05:58] <CruCio> ok everything on top is checked except source code
[05:59] <adrock358> ppibburr what would the path be to my mounted hd when it is on the desktop and labeled "disk"
[05:59] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: after checking all of them, click Close, then when you're back at Synaptic, click Reload in the toolbar
[05:59] <dru> onyx: in the chat?
[05:59] <Onyx> dru: Hm?
[05:59] <user01> can anyone give me an idea of something i could present on at my LUG?  Im still new to linux and the president needs another presentation for the meeting :p
[05:59] <ppibburr> adrock: /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk
[05:59] <dru> onyx: to put the /msg stuff
[05:59] <Onyx> dru: oh, yeah -- just make sure there isn't a space before the /
[06:00] <CruCio> ok i have
[06:00] <dru> ok
[06:00] <CruCio> its downloading somthing
[06:00] <dru> onyx: did you get my pm?
[06:00] <Onyx> dru: Did you resend it?
[06:00] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: right.. when its done, click "Search".. and do a search for "sun-java"
[06:00] <ppibburr> adrock: that is the / directory
[06:00] <dru> yes
[06:00] <Onyx> dru: Hrm, still nothing... :/
[06:00] <chris449> Onyx: ok i'm at the live CD menu, what do i give it to boot? it's installed on sdc3
[06:00] <dru> brb
[06:01] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: did you do the search?
[06:01] <marbig>      /msg nickserv set hide email on
[06:02] <bazhang> uhm marbig
[06:02] <CruCio> k wait
[06:02] <CruCio> lemme search
[06:02] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: sun-java   make sure you have the -
[06:02] <dru> onyx: when i put in the linux cd it shows up on the desktop as linux
[06:02] <dru> onyx: but doesnt recognize in the terminal
[06:03] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: did it kickback some results?
[06:03] <ArthurArchnix> Lavender still there?
[06:03] <ppibburr> i made a livecd from a feisty debootstrap for i386 on a amd64 laptop, worked, ran it on a desktop and it fried. that normal?
[06:03] <Onyx> chris449: Hrm, it doesn't give you any options?
[06:03] <Onyx> chris449: It's been a long time since I've booted from a livecd--give me a sec to look it up
[06:04] <venger> ppibburr, whats fried mean?  is the cd reader on the desktop old? maybe it doesn't like the burn?
[06:04] <jonathan8di> jonathan
[06:04] <marbig> Hi all
[06:04] <Onyx> dru: if you close out the package manager and try it again what does it say?
[06:04] <ppibburr> vanger: computer shutoff, will not turn on
[06:04] <Onyx> dru: If it's showing on the desktop it's definitely mounted.
[06:04] <ppibburr> venger*
[06:04] <ArthurArchnix> levander: Check this out... there's been six years of complaints over at Evolution-devel about this... you are the latest victim :)  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206061
[06:04] <sadmin> hey guys is ubuntu dapper works with pploicy on ldap
[06:04] <chris449> Onyx: thanks, i'm looking through the help file now, but can't find anythign yet
[06:04] <CK_L> how to execute *.run
[06:04] <venger> ppibburr, sounds like coincedence
[06:04] <adrock358> ppibburr so if i want to access menu.lst using gedit, from my mounted hard drive (which is labeled "disk," and is on the desktop) I type: sudo gedit /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst

[06:05] <CruCio> Indygunfreak
[06:05] <ppibburr> adrock: yes
[06:05] <dru> onyx: still says the same
[06:05] <ppibburr> venger: really?
[06:05] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: yes?
[06:05] <CruCio> i found sun-java5jre
[06:05] <CruCio> and sun-java5source
[06:05] <ArthurArchnix> levander: This is a screenshot of a filter workaround. I suppose you could try the same with trash. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=99009&action=view
[06:05] <adrock358> ippibburr  i get a blank file
[06:05] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: java6 should be there to. if youw ant it.
[06:05] <venger> ppibburr, yea unless the livecd ran the cdrom at highspeed raising the temps up high enough to smoke something ? =)
[06:06] <CruCio> yes , sun-java6-jre
[06:06] <CruCio> is it ?
[06:06] <ppibburr> venger: maybe, it was on a usb key thoug... but i think the cdrom was freaking, least it was noisy like a cdrom
[06:06] <Onyx> chris449: What drive is linux installed on again?
[06:06] <ppibburr> adrock: is it a new file or an existing?
[06:06] <chris449> Onyx: sdc3
[06:07] <ppibburr> adrock: exit without save, then cat /path/to/file
[06:07] <CruCio> Indygunfreak
[06:07] <dru> onyx: after the 5th time of opening and closing the cd drive it finally worked
[06:07] <CruCio> sun-java6-jre is it ?
[06:07] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: anyways, these aer the ones you need to mark for installation....  (right click, mark for install)...  sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jdk, sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin  after you right click and mark all those for install, click Apply at the top, install them
[06:07] <Onyx> chris449: sudo mkdir /mnt/linux
[06:07] <Onyx> dru: Awesome -- 'cause I didn't know what to tell ya :P
[06:07] <dru> onyx: it is done
[06:07] <Onyx> dru: try the modprobe command again
[06:07] <venger> ppibburr, so it wont turn on as in no power light, no spin ups??
[06:08] <ppibburr> venger: nothing
[06:08] <venger> ppibburr, crack the case
[06:08] <CruCio> i should check their boxes right ?
[06:08] <dru> onyx: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel not found.
[06:08] <ppibburr> venger: hehe, thats the problem its at my work
[06:08] <Onyx> chris449: Is your nickname registered to services?
[06:08] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: or just right click them and choose "mark for installation"
[06:08] <chris449> Onyx: nope, should I?
[06:08] <IndyGunFreak> and a box will pop up showing dependencies you need to install, jsut click Mark
[06:08] <venger> ppibburr, grab a witness or kick it while noones looking
[06:09] <Onyx> chris449: Yeah, would probably be easier because there's a lot of commands to pass for this to get done
[06:09] <CruCio> .bin is not found ?
[06:09] <Tixer> I want to put Xubuntu on a flash drive, so I can install it on a comp without a CD drive. How can I do this?.
[06:09] <Onyx> chris449: Easier than keeping all this in the channel
[06:09] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: are you sure?
[06:09] <levander> ArthurArchnix: I just looked at that bug report.  That's pretty much the last straw for me and evolution.  It's already crashed on me a couple of times trying to set it up to work with dovecot IMAP.  I'm going back to Thunderbird.
[06:09] <CruCio> i can't find the java6-bin
[06:09] <ppibburr> venger: they cant prove anything, shutdown and rebooted from the key, out IT never knows i'm there
[06:09] <CruCio> Yes
[06:09] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: its sun-java6-bin
[06:09] <IndyGunFreak> is that what you searched for?
[06:10] <ppibburr> venger: just i dont want to fry my machines
[06:10] <ArthurArchnix> levander: Essentially, what I've learned is that IMAP on Evolution is dysfunctional. But they at least have the pride in knowing that they alone are doing it as it ought to be done. Or something. Filters and expunging delete on exit sounds like a workaround for single users. Many users on many clients is apparently a nightmare.
[06:10] <adrock358> ppibburr  what i mean is, the file is blank.  not like when i nav directly to it from the mounted drive itself on the desktop (menu.lst file).
[06:10] <ArthurArchnix> levander: Yeah. It's depressing alright. I just read the ubuntu bug report where the ubuntu guys said, go talk to the gnome guys.
[06:10] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: find it?
[06:11] <levander> ArthurArchnix: I do use other clients - it's an IMAP account, that's the whole point.  Between non-standard behavior and the crashes, I'm just done.
[06:11] <ppibburr> adrock: when you nav to it you see contents?
[06:11] <CruCio> There is only sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-javadb sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-sources
[06:11] <adrock358> yes
[06:11] <ArthurArchnix> levander: I wonder what Kubuntu uses...
[06:11] <ppibburr> adrock: run that path by me agian
[06:11] <levander> ArthurArchnix: There's kmail.
[06:12] <dru> onyx: anything else i can do?
[06:12] <CruCio> same does for the java5
[06:12] <ArthurArchnix> levander: It's a shame to lose all that nice pda and calendar integration, you know?
[06:12] <Onyx> dru: Looking into it...
[06:12] <levander> ArthurArchnix: Isn't evolution one of the old Ximian apps?  Ximian, the company Novell bought, that also does Mono?
[06:12] <dru> onyx: thanks
[06:12] <Xabriel> quick question: When setting up gutsy, how should I use the primary/logcal options?
[06:12] <levander> ArthurArchnix: Yeah, I was really thinking about getting into the evolution.
[06:12] <dru> onyx: for some reason i still cant pm you
[06:12] <desertc> Tixer: you sure can - it's a little tricky, but it can be done.  They sell bootable USB memory sticks, too
[06:12] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: click on Settings/Repositories again
[06:13] <CruCio> ok
[06:13] <ArthurArchnix> levander: Heh... all I know is that one time I had a ximian desktop wallpaper, and one time I looked it up and found out it used to be a linux os or something... :P
[06:13] <adrock358> ppibburr.  allright.  i'm on LiveCd.  I mounted my drive to Desktop.  It's called Disk.  And I'm trying to edit the file menu.lst.  the menu.lst file is in boot/grub
[06:13] <Onyx> dru: Chances are 'dru' is registered by someone else, so when you tried to register, it failed... check the server tab to see if that's what happened
[06:13] <IndyGunFreak> on th first Tab "Ubuntu software".. check source code... on the second tab, "Third party software".. check all those boxes
[06:13] <venger> is there an option to add programs to the right click menu?
[06:13] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: see above
[06:13] <adrock358> oh you mean:  sudo gedit /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:13] <ppibburr> tixer: i got a script
[06:14] <ppibburr> tixer: that does it perfectly
[06:14] <CruCio> Yes
[06:14] <root__> I learn to program with LDD v3
[06:14] <CruCio> there is
[06:14] <adrock358> ppibburr. oh you mean:  sudo gedit /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:14] <root__> but it can't work
[06:14] <levander> ArthurArchnix: Mono is the .NET clone for Linux.  Really stupid idea.  If it ever becomes real competitor to MS .NET, MS will kill it so fast by messing around with the standards.  I'm counting evolution as one more bad idea by Ximian.
[06:14] <root__> how to set the include file path
[06:14] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: did you check all those boxes?
[06:14] <IndyGunFreak> on third party,
[06:14] <CruCio> yes
[06:14] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: and did you click source code on the first tab?
[06:14] <levander> ArthurArchnix: I just looked it up, Evolution is from that old Ximian company, now owned by Novell.
[06:14] <ppibburr> adrock: that sure do it
[06:15] <levander> ArthurArchnix: That awkward image manager program called F-Spot is another thing done by Ximian.
[06:15] <CruCio> yes
[06:15] <ppibburr> adrock: if that is the path, then you will have read,write access to oit
[06:15] <levander> ArthurArchnix: My rage is growing as I type about that company...  I'd better just stop.
[06:15] <ArthurArchnix> levander: Looks like I got you started on the warpath. Sorry I couldn't find a better answer for you. Ooooh.... don't get me started on F-Spot. :)
[06:15] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: click close, then click reload
[06:15] <Xabriel> what is the difference between using primary or logical partitions?
[06:15] <CruCio> ok
[06:15] <Rich4> can I get help with getting xwinwrap>?
[06:15] <adrock358> ppibburr.  in order to save it do i have to open through terminal?
[06:15] <CruCio> do i do anything in add/remove ?
[06:15] <IndyGunFreak> no.
[06:16] <chap> Why when I 'shutdown -P now'  my server shuts off, but the power led remains on?
[06:16] <CruCio> k
[06:16] <IndyGunFreak> did you reload synaptic
[06:16] <CruCio> ys
[06:16] <CruCio> yes*
[06:16] <ppibburr> adrock: as long as you used sudo, you can save
[06:16] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: now click search, and do a search for sun-java
[06:16] <adrock358> Can anybody help me out?  I'm on LiveCd, and I mounted my HD so I can edit menu.lst.  When I navigate to it all I see is a black file.  The path is ppibburr  is that right?  Thanks.
[06:17] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: did sun-java6 come up with several options?
[06:17] <adrock358> ppibburr.  you don't get it bro.  when i open the file directly, like with my mouse, i can't save.
[06:17] <ppibburr> adrock terminal, sudo gedit /path
[06:18] <CruCio> nope , same options
[06:18] <adrock358> ppibburr  all i get is blank file
[06:18] <IndyGunFreak> CruCio: type this w/o quotes... "/join #indygunfreak"
[06:18] <CruCio> k
[06:18] <ppibburr> adrock: sudo cat /path
[06:19] <adrock358> ppibburr.  so cat /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:19] <dru> onyx: ... ive tryed ...  /msg nickserv register <nick> <password> ... 20 times and nothing happens
[06:19] <Huy> hello, how do I change it so that my core file starts with its name and PID rather than just "core" when a program dmbs a core?
[06:19] <adrock358> ppibburr with sudo of course
[06:19] <Onyx> dru: are you in xchat?
[06:19] <dru> yes
[06:19] <ppibburr> adrock :yes
[06:20] <Onyx> dru: There is a "server" window -- it should say "Freenode" or "Ubuntu", but it's in the left column of xchat.  click there, and you can see messages from the server
[06:20] <jklfdjskl> my webcam works with kopete and cheese, but doesnt work with gyachi. what can i do?
[06:21] <dru> i know it says my name is taken and if it is mine to type something
[06:21] <dru> but it isnt
[06:21] <adrock358> ppibburr.  what is cat?
[06:21] <ppibburr> it dumps the file stdout
[06:21] <ppibburr> or writes
[06:22] <ppibburr> adrock: did it dump anything?
[06:22] <chap> dru /msg nickserv identify password
[06:22] <Onyx> dru: So you'll need to pick a new nickname
[06:22] <jklfdjskl> anyone have any ideas?
[06:22] <adrock358>  ppibburr. sudo cat /home/ubuntu/Desktop/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:22] <adrock358>  returns no such file...
[06:22] <dru> i been tryin to do that ... lol i cant figure it out
[06:23] <Onyx> dru: Since 'dru' is taken, you can pick another nickname with /nick whatever
[06:23] <chap> dru try #freenode
[06:23] <ppibburr> adrock: what version ubuntu?
[06:23] <Onyx> tdru: Actually...
[06:23] <adrock358> ppibburr 7.1  should i umount then remount?
[06:23] <Onyx> tdru: The last time 'dru' was seen was over 3 years ago, so you can probably use it.
[06:23] <tdru> lol
[06:23] <tdru> too late?
[06:23] <jklfdjskl> my webcam works with kopete and cheese, but doesnt work with gyachi. what can i do?
[06:24] <adrock358> to mount it all i did was right click on it and click mount
[06:24] <ppibburr> adrock: mkdir foo mount /dev/dev# foo
[06:24] <Onyx> tdru: Nah, just go to #freenode
[06:24] <adrock358> ppibburr.  to mount it all i did was right click on it and click mount
[06:24] <ppibburr> adrock: ahh! the desktop is a link
[06:24] <Onyx> dru: Just tell them that you're wanting to use dru, and it's been 3 years 11 weeks 4 days since dru was last seen
[06:25] <kr00l> Anyone know how to get ubuntu home server working?
[06:25] <Huy> anyone know how to change coredump behavior? i.e. append the PID?
[06:25] <adrock358> ppibburr.  so i have to mount it the real way?
[06:25] <chap> kr00l: home server?  I have the server version working
[06:25] <ppibburr> adrock: yes, unless it is in /media or /mnt
[06:25] <flamsmark> is dd if=/dev/urandom of=dev/hd{a...c} going to kill my disks, or kill the data on them? and is there a way to get dd only to copy only a certain number of bytes?
[06:26] <kr00l> chap: can i DL ubuntu sever and get it to work as a home server for files and e-mail?
[06:26] <venger> flamsmark, man dd it has a length setting and yes it should wipe the part table, it wouldn't 0 the data
[06:27] <jklfdjskl> hmm someone please help me with this webcam issue
[06:27] <ppibburr> adrock: mkdir foo then mount /dev/bleh foo then sudo gedit foo/boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:27] <jklfdjskl> my webcam works with kopete and cheese, but doesnt work with gyachi. what can i do?
[06:27] <flamsmark> i can't seem to find it in the man page
[06:27] <chap> kr00l: Ubuntu server provides Samba, mail server, DNS, LAMP, and various other tools
[06:27] <flamsmark> but i don't need the data zeroed, just not sensible
[06:27] <flamsmark> venger ^
[06:27] <kr00l> chap: so could i use it at home? Is it easy to setup
[06:27] <venger> flamsmark, fair enough, just confirming it
[06:27] <andoatnp> when I try to install ubuntu on a windows dell pc, off a cd, it goes through the ubuntu welcome screen with the orange scoll bar, and then freezes up
[06:27] <crwlr> bazhang: i got mad at it...had to install the ndiswrapper and i'm not in the mood for that so i am trying regular ol 7.10...and so far so good
[06:27] <andoatnp> any advice on what to do?
[06:28] <ppibburr> venger: you think the liveenviroment i made is safe?
[06:28] <adrock358> ppibburr.  it is in media
[06:28] <chap> kr00l: from my experience the packages are partially configured.  I've been doing quite a bit of googling to figure it out
[06:28] <flamsmark> and i can't seem to find the length setting in the manpage
[06:28] <riotkittie> andoatnp: try checking the cd or the md5sum...  or booting in safe graphics mode. alternatively, try the alternate CD
[06:28] <bazhang> crwlr: okay; give a shout when/if you have issues :}
[06:28] <venger> ppibburr, no flash disk or cd will cause a desktop to not power on.  I'm sticking with coincedence
[06:29] <kr00l> chap; great, all i want is an easy to use file server
[06:29] <ppibburr> venger: but the software being created in a different envroment?
[06:29] <crwlr> bazhang: can i make that a item for the distro team?  to have ndiswrapper already working like on regular ubuntu? cause i can connect to my network on livecd 7.10...just not with the studio
[06:29] <chap> kr00l: i just got samba running.  It wasn't too much trouble (a few hours for the noob inside me)
[06:29] <flamsmark> venger , aah count
[06:29] <andoatnp> riotkittie: I did the cd check, and it was ok, and safe graphics mode crashed.. what is the alternate CD?
[06:30] <kr00l> chap: lots of noob in me
[06:30] <venger> doesn't matter, hardware failure is hardware failure even if you had some software that load tested it to the point of failure, its still the hardware at fault
[06:30] <adrock358> ppibburr.  it is in /media so i can just nav to it and save it right?
[06:30] <riotkittie> andoatnp: the alternate CD is a text based installer :T no live disc, no 'try before you buy'
[06:30] <ppibburr> venger: hahaha
[06:30] <bazhang> crwlr: ubuntustudio is a pure distro--ie no non-free bits
[06:30] <venger> ppibburr, i could see it bombing out with errors rebooting, but not failing for good
[06:30] <ppibburr> adrock: no, unless you open as sudo
[06:30] <crwlr> ahh thx for that info, bazhang
[06:30] <riotkittie> andoatnp: it freezes completely? are the caps/scroll/numlk lights flashing?
[06:30] <chap> kr00l: samba will let you setup shares with windows and other *nix pc's.
[06:31] <ppibburr> venger *nods
[06:31] <kr00l> chap: i don't know how to master the command line and ubuntu server is only commandline
[06:31] <crwlr> bazhang: what should my partition layout be?  have a 300gb drive but dont want to use all of it for ubuntu
[06:31] <bazhang> crwlr: no worries; the best bet is to install ubuntu regular then activate the repos for studio and add from that
[06:32] <chap> kr00l:  if you like you can install the desktop version and tack on the server package
[06:32] <ppibburr> adrock: sudo gedit /media/<point>/boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:32] <bazhang> crwlr: what is installed first? ubuntu/xp/vista?
[06:32] <crwlr> nothing...bare system, bazhang
[06:32] <adrock358> ppibburr.  so it didn't work before because i was giving a path to a link....which was on the desktop...but now it will work because i am giving the root source?
[06:32] <kr00l> chap: how so?
[06:32] <ppibburr> adrock: yes
[06:32] <bazhang> crwlr: uh sorry let me rephrase; what do you want to install first? this will be a dual boot?
[06:33] <crwlr> bazhang: eh, think i will dual boot with vista just in case i get bored with ubuntu every now and then and feel some counter-strike comin on
[06:33] <riotkittie> andoatnp: try booting again. it's been so long since i've seen the menu on that disc but there should be an FKey option that will let you pass kernel options. Get to that line, remove 'quiet' and replace splash with nosplash then try to boot. then tell us exactly what error it spits out when it freezes.
[06:33] <chap> kr00l: if you are just trying to file share and find the command line creepy, the desktop version can share over the network as well without any command-fu
[06:34] <bazhang> crwlr: then you might want to install vista first; that way ubuntu can pick up the install and add it to the grub menu list
[06:34] <chap> kr00l: its integrated into gnome pretty well
[06:34] <andoatnp> riotkittie: completely frozen, the cd-rom eventually stops spinning, screen is blank, no lights are flashing
[06:34] <crwlr> aight bazhang...i hate sitting thru the vista install...so boring...
[06:34] <kr00l> chap: well I want to set up a home server where i can put all my media crap and access it on any computer in my house
[06:35] <crwlr> bazhang: what if i put ubuntu on first?
[06:36] <chap> kr00l: try and see what you like.  If one is too awkward you can always reinstall
[06:36] <bazhang> !dualboot | crwlr this may help out
[06:36] <ubotu> crwlr this may help out: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot

[06:39] <yao_ziyuan> i went to gnome-look.org and found a theme called Nimbus
[06:39] <yao_ziyuan> shown here
[06:39] <nano__> Hey, If my router isnt working with linux, how would I modify it (settings wise) so that it does?
[06:39] <yao_ziyuan> that makes ubuntu really worth living in
[06:39] <adrock358> ppibburr.  will this command to rebuild the boot image work from LiveCD?  It looked like it worked:  sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.22-14-generic?
[06:40] <ppibburr> adrock: which image?
[06:40] <CruCio> Indygunfreak ?
[06:40] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=306528 levander a small discussion here
[06:40] <ppibburr> adrock: the liveCD or the harddisk's
[06:40] <yao_ziyuan> ubuntu displays chinese characters better than kubuntu because it installs a set of chinese fonts made free by a taiwan company
[06:40] <adrock358> ppibburr.  HD
[06:40] <CruCio> when terminal says su: authetication failure what must i do ?
[06:40] <yao_ziyuan> but still some characters such as "you" have an irregular style
[06:41] <cafuego> CruCio: use sudo, not su.
[06:41] <cafuego> CruCio: 'sudo -s' for an interactive root shell.
[06:41] <CruCio> ok
[06:41] <levander> bazhang: Thanks, but that thread just says to use procmail in some specific case.
[06:41] <yao_ziyuan> is there a way to hide a program's taskbar button in ubuntu?
[06:41] <adrock358> ppibburr.  yeah i think it did
[06:41] <crwlr> bazhang: i found a guide that shows me how to get the grub back after i install ubuntu then vista.  should work good
[06:41] <ppibburr> adrock: i think you updated the livecd and will loose it at reboot
[06:41] <yao_ziyuan> in kubuntu i can click Window Special Settings -> Skip Taskbar
[06:42] <CruCio> cafuego what does "sudo -s" does??
[06:42] <cafuego> CruCio: it starts a root shell
[06:42] <CruCio> root@localhost:~#
[06:43] <bazhang> crwlr: okay; good luck!
[06:43] <CruCio> what do i type in there ?
[06:43] <crwlr> bazhang: you bet!  i enjoy a good challenge!
[06:43] <cafuego> CruCio: ... provided the user running it is permitted to do so in the /etc/sudoers file.
[06:43] <cafuego> CruCio: What do you mean "what do i type in there" ?
[06:43] <ppibburr> adrock: i think you need to us chroot
[06:43] <CruCio> hmm
[06:43] <CruCio> n/m
[06:44] <CruCio> does it helps install files ?
[06:44] <crwlr> crucio: type       sudo -s
[06:44] <CruCio> ok
[06:44] <ArthurArchnix> yao_ziyuan: Sorry, don't understand. What do you mean hide pograms task bar? You can remove them all by removing window list from the panel.
[06:44] <cafuego> CruCio: Ubuntu doesn't use 'su' . Instead, you get root privileges by using sudo.
[06:44] <yao_ziyuan> ArthurArchnix: i don't want certain programs to show their buttons on the taskbar
[06:45] <ppibburr> venger: in as i made my distro, i added a user to sodoers, worked in chroot, but the liveinstnce it says parse error in sodoers
[06:45] <Phuzion> !webserver
[06:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about webserver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:45] <Phuzion> !lamp
[06:45] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[06:45] <yao_ziyuan> ArthurArchnix: for example, if you run ubuntu in vmware, you may not want the vmware toolbox application to occupy taskbar space
[06:45] <CruCio> cafuego
[06:45] <adrock358> ppibburr.  how do i rebuild the HD boot image which I have just modified by modifying the menu.lst and  /etc/usplash.conf files (keep in mind I am on the LiveCD)?  Do I use the sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.22-14-generic command?
[06:46] <didkoddd> hey
[06:46] <didkoddd> :)
[06:46] <CruCio> i try the it but it wont allow me to install jre-6u3-linux-i586-rpm.bin
[06:46] <didkoddd> anybody here?
[06:46] <crwlr> crucio: what's the deal?
[06:46] <CruCio> it says permission denied
[06:46] <cafuego> CruCio: You don't want to do that anyway.
[06:46] <CruCio> why ?
[06:46] <ppibburr> adrock: you will have to chroot to the hdd's /
[06:46] <crwlr> crucio:  type          sudo apt-get install jre-6u3.....   the rest of it
[06:46] <cafuego> CruCio: The jre is available as a package from within Synaptic.
[06:46] <cafuego> CruCio: no!
[06:46] <bazhang> levander:  the only other (non-bug) link I found was asking users to learn mutt :{
[06:46] <cafuego> crwlr: No! it's an rpm installer!
[06:47] <crwlr> oh....
[06:47] <crwlr> nvm then
[06:47] <CruCio> jre-6u3 and what are the ........ ?
[06:47] <adrock358> ppibburr.  chroot to the hdd's, how is this done?
[06:47] <crwlr> crucio: listen to cafuego!!!!
[06:47] <CruCio> k
[06:47] <cafuego> CruCio: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[06:47] <cafuego> CruCio: Or use synaptic and install sun-java6-jre.
[06:47] <ppibburr> adrock: in terminal > sudo chroot /media/<point>
[06:48] <cafuego> CruCio: Just check that in the repository preferences you have 'Multiverse' enabled.
[06:48] <CruCio> cafuego
[06:48] <CruCio> It says :broken package
[06:48] <cafuego> CruCio: otherwise it might not find the package.
[06:49] <ppibburr> then mount /proc and /sys
[06:49] <CruCio> i did , catfuego, i found sun-java6-jre
[06:49] <CruCio> but it couldn't check and install
[06:49] <CruCio> there are an error
[06:49] <crwlr> then ur doing something wrong...
[06:49] <ArthurArchnix> yao_ziyuan: Yeah, I get it now. I'm just looking online.
[06:49] <ppibburr> crucio: i read sub-java6 was broke or something and the alt is to be used
[06:50] <crwlr> bazhang: seems to be working well now
[06:50] <CruCio> alt is to be used ?
[06:51] <bazhang> crwlr: congrats!
[06:51] <adrock358> ppibburr.  i'm tired.  and i'm going to try to get this done before bed, so i apologize.  if i start saying really stupid things, then I'm just going to log off.  I don't know what chroot does.  but do i type: sudo chroot /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:51] <CruCio> sun-java6-jre: Depends: sun-java6-bin (= 6-03-0ubuntu2)
[06:51] <ppibburr> adrock :no
[06:51] <ThreeFingerPete> had some trouble with x and gnome and my keyboard settings. I got that settled, but now when I go control-alt-F1 the keyboard settings in there are still messed up. how do I set that as well?
[06:52] <ppibburr> adrock: chroot /media/disk
[06:52] <ppibburr> adrock: sudo of course
[06:52] <CruCio> : Package sun-java6-bin has no installation candidate
[06:52] <adrock358> ppibburr. then mount /proc and /sys?
[06:53] <ppibburr> adrock: yes, then in that terminal your root / enviroment is actually /media/disk
[06:53] <cafuego> CruCio: Just check that in the repository preferences you have 'Multiverse' enabled.
[06:53] <cafuego> CruCio: otherwise it might not find the package.
[06:53] <cafuego> Like I said.
[06:54] <CruCio> k
[06:54] <ppibburr> adrock: so then act like your were atually using your hdd
[06:54] <adrock358> ppibburr.  so then i can rebuild the HD Grub image by running the update command as:  sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.22-14-generic
[06:54] <adrock358> ?
[06:55] <ppibburr> adrock: yes
[06:55] <CruCio> which part in the sypnatic is the multiverse ?
[06:55] <misslecommander> have issue: every now and then i have 2 cd/dvd icons on my desktop, but i only have one cd/dvd
[06:55] <quaal> anyone have an idea why ubuntu decided to stop starting metacity when i login to gnome?
[06:55] <ppibburr> adrock: to leave chroot: umount /sys and /proc type exit
[06:55] <misslecommander> is that auto-mount ? and how do i stop auto-mount ?
[06:56] <misslecommander> quaal: metacity dont load at startup for you ?
[06:56] <CruCio> cafuego ,where in sypnatic is multiverse ?
[06:56] <quaal> misslecommander, it was, but then after some updates it doesnt anymore
[06:56] <ppibburr> Crucio repositories
[06:56] <adrock358> ppibburr.  i got permission denied after running the update command
[06:57] <CruCio> i should uncheck multiverse right ?
[06:57] <misslecommander> quaal: i did all the updates, let me see if i can find it on my machine Gutsy GnomeX
[06:57] <quaal> yea i'm in gutsy and gnome
[06:57] <CruCio> should i also uncheck Source code ?
[06:57] <misslecommander> quaal: are you using system monitor to view that process ?
[06:57] <quaal> misslecommander, the only way metacity will start is if i run it manually
[06:57] <quaal> and thats a pita
[06:57] <ppibburr> adrock: odd
[06:58] <adrock358> ppibburr. /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 186: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied
[06:58] <misslecommander> quaal: look a "view" select "my processes"
[06:58] <misslecommander> quaal: in system monitor
[06:58] <quaal> misslecommander, for what reason
[06:59] <CruCio> cafuego, i had multiverse unabled should i uncheck it ?
[06:59] <misslecommander> quaal: to show the process, i see it on mine, and i did all the updates
[07:00]  * Nikki85 is back.
[07:00]  * Nikki85 is away: Gone away for now.
[07:00] <ArthurArchnix> yao_ziyuan: Looks like the answer is no. People who want this feature replace the window manager. Metacity / gnome window_list applet can't do it. Compiz on the other hand... that may be different. You should head over to #compiz and ask about this feature.
[07:01] <arooni-mobile> i have 3 hard drives.  i'm hearing a hard drive spin/up spin/down (sounds like its trying to spin up for the first time) every 4 or 5 seconds... question:  1) is this a bad thing? 2) is there a way of detecting which hard drive it is via software (ubuntu gutys) 3) what should i do to solve?
[07:01] <misslecommander> quaal: you may try to mark for -re-install through Synaptic Package Manager. i wnet through my crahes and re-installed any module that had problems, seemed to cure most of them
[07:01] <jumpkick> anyone know how to fix the "NVIDIA kernel module was not created." when installing from the NVIDIA binary driver?
[07:01] <yao_ziyuan> ArthurArchnix: thank you for your effort...
[07:02] <misslecommander> jumpkick: you good with terminal ?
[07:02] <dookdook> i'm shopping around for a webcam.  i'm running feisty, and am considering logitech quickcam connect (usb webcam).  do you anticipate any problems with this camera or have any other suggestions?
[07:03] <ppibburr> adrock: worked for me
[07:03] <jumpkick> misslecommander: I'm okay with a terminal...
[07:03] <misslecommander> this cdrom/dvd issue has been there, i cant figure out how to fix it. i hear my cdrom spin up for no reason. soon after my system crashes
[07:03] <misslecommander> jumpkick: just a suggestion i am new, but it worked for me
[07:04] <ppibburr> adrock: try umount /sys and /proc
[07:04] <misslecommander> jumpkick: when you boot into login, you can press Ctrl Alt F1 to enter terminal
[07:04] <weird_idiot> anyone here following the world markets (or know where the finance markets channel on freenode is?)
[07:04] <adrock358> ppibburr.  I am in chroot (or "root"), and I have mounted proc and sys by typing "mount /proc. (enter)" and "mount /sys (enter)"  My menu.lst file has been modified and saved to it's original locale.  Then I rebuild the Grub boot image by: sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.22-14-generic, and I get 100 lines of: "/usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 186: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied
[07:04] <adrock358> ," in return.  do you think that it is already updated and it is safe to reboot?
[07:05] <jumpkick> misslecommander:  that machine can't run X, because the nvidia driver is broken
[07:05] <jumpkick> so I'm already there :D
[07:05] <misslecommander> jumpkick: dont know this will fix it, you cant get to desktop ?
[07:05] <ppibburr> adrock: try unmounting /sys and /proc then re-run the command
[07:05] <ubuntu> whats up ppl
[07:06] <bloodgutsandoil> ppibburr hey i am back
[07:06] <adrock358> ppibburr same result
[07:06] <ArthurArchnix> yao_ziyuan: No problem. Don't take me as the final authority on this. That's just my impression.
[07:06] <misslecommander> jumpkick: i ran > sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:06] <zetheroo> I have been trying each and every app for syncing with an iPod and none of them are working all the way. I can copy music and sync the iPod to the PC, but whenever I eject the iPod there is no Songs on the device.
[07:06] <jumpkick> misslecommander: since the Jan 18th Xorg update I've been pooched
[07:06] <adrock358> AAAAAAAAAAAAH!
[07:06] <JDLimbo> so, my system froze up, and I think I grabbed the right error message from the syslog, but can someone here tell me what it means, if anything?
[07:06] <misslecommander> jumpkick: in terminal, i had much better results doing it from lonin/terminal than through terminal within x
[07:07] <jumpkick> misslecommander: that won't help... the driver is broken...  config hasn't changed
[07:07] <bloodgutsandoil> ppibburr found an older ver ubuntuCE 1.0 and it has the older installer same resault different error "faild to vreate enough space?
[07:07] <zetheroo> anyone?
[07:07] <JDLimbo> ubotu !pastebin
[07:07] <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)
[07:07] <zetheroo> this is very frustrating
[07:07] <jediael> any body know how to install the driver for logitech pro 4000 webcam?
[07:07] <misslecommander> jumpkick: can you get to desktop ?
[07:07] <adrock358> ppibburr.  it worked for you but you are not on the LiveCD
[07:07] <jediael> yes
[07:08] <misslecommander> jumpkick: you dont need to get into X to do this, thats what i am saying
[07:08] <ppibburr> blood: you were ubunu-live that could resize dual-boot?
[07:08] <jediael> heelooooooooooooooooooo
[07:08] <misslecommander> jumpkick: i highly suggest it. thats all i can do. if you cant get to the desktop, you are out nothing trying to reconfigure
[07:09] <bloodgutsandoil> exit
[07:09] <genewitch> are there people awake this late?
[07:09] <misslecommander> jumpkick: simple question. you refuse to answer. i cant help you
[07:09] <genewitch> oh nifty
[07:09] <zetheroo> anyone?
[07:09] <zetheroo> I have been trying each and every app for syncing with an iPod and none of them are working all the way. I can copy music and sync the iPod to the PC, but whenever I eject the iPod there is no Songs on the device.
[07:10] <JDLimbo> zetheroo I've used amaroK with mixed results in the past
[07:10] <JDLimbo> depending on what version of the iPod I used
[07:10] <ppibburr> adrock: got it
[07:10] <zetheroo> JDLimbo: I have the latest iPod Nano
[07:10] <zetheroo> and nothing is working
[07:10] <ppibburr> adrock: nope nvm
[07:10] <jediael> hello
[07:11] <JDLimbo> yeah, it seemed to work better with older ipods
[07:11] <jumpkick> misslecommander:  there is nothing wrong with my xorg.conf...   the "nvidia" driver can't be compiled and installed...   the configuration worked before Jan 18th
[07:11] <jediael> genewitch
[07:11] <zetheroo> is there a way to hack the iPod so it can be just drap and drop?
[07:11] <Martinzz> hi, I need to hok the wireless up, please help
[07:11] <adrock358> ppibburr.  Is there any way to undo the damage I have done without reinstalling?  All I was doing was following a guide to decrease boot time (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580903&highlight=slow+boot).  and by mistake I entered the wrong screen resolution.  Now every boot has a kernel panic.
[07:11] <pingu> what movie/streaming video players are avaliable on ubuntu which are the best cause im having trouble viewing some streaming videos and movies on my computer
[07:11] <Martinzz> ~hook
[07:11] <misslecommander> jumpkick: one question> can you get to desktop at all ?
[07:11] <jumpkick> misslecommander:  I can do the dpkg --reconfigure on the xserver, but the nvidia binary driver won't work
[07:12] <Martinzz> Anybody knows an app for wireless
[07:12] <misslecommander> jumpkick: that answers my question
[07:12] <Martinzz> to make my life easier
[07:12] <misslecommander> Martinzz: what kind of app you looking for ?
[07:12] <pingu> martinzz: i dont think there are any apps can you be more specific
[07:12] <pingu> what movie/streaming video players are avaliable on ubuntu which are the best cause im having trouble viewing some streaming videos and movies on my computer
[07:12] <zetheroo> has anyone gotten the new iPod Nano to sync in Ubuntu?
[07:13] <Martinzz> something so I can get online using a wireless signal
[07:13] <jumpkick> misslecommander:  not until I can start the X server, which can't happen until I can install the Nvidia binary driver, which must be the 167.07 or .09 version because the gutsy distro I run has an old 100.x driver that doesn't work with my Nvidia 7050

[07:13] <ppibburr> adrock: use change the vga setting?
[07:13] <JDLimbo> I pulled this --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52981/ from the syslog after my system froze up. Can anyone decipher it for me, or at least let me know that it is either unrelated or gibberish?
[07:13] <adrock358> what do you mean
[07:14] <adrock358> ppibburr what do you mena
[07:14] <pingu> what movie/streaming video players are avaliable on ubuntu which are the best cause im having trouble viewing some streaming videos and movies on my computer
[07:14] <adrock358> mean
[07:14] <arooni-mobile> is there a tool i can use to check integrity of a disk
[07:14] <genewitch> Oh but i do have a problem!! Synaptics Touchpad isn't working on my laptop, and i've been digging around, if anyone has resolved this in the past i'd love a chance to chat about it
[07:14] <arooni-mobile> to see if its in good shape
[07:14] <arooni-mobile> or about to fial
[07:14] <arooni-mobile> fail
[07:14] <ppibburr> adrock: did you just reove 'quiet' or did you change vga = (number)
[07:14] <genewitch> arooni fsck?
[07:15] <genewitch> or are you looking for smart monitoring software?
[07:15] <misslecommander> JDlimbo: only thing i can figure from that is NULL, in which its expecting something, and there is nothing to get
[07:15] <soldats> !gxine | pingu
[07:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gxine - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:15] <adrock358> ppibburr. just the vga number.  then in the etc usplash.conf i missentered the screen res.  and now i have kernal panic
[07:15] <arooni-mobile> genewitch, not sure what i'm looking for, but i'm nervous about having hard disks die
[07:15] <soldats> !xine | pingu
[07:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xine - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:15] <JDLimbo> zetheroo, did you try GTKpod?
[07:15] <soldats> ?info xine
[07:15] <zetheroo> JDLimbo: yes
[07:16] <JDLimbo> missilecommander ok, well thank you for trying
[07:16] <crwlr> im goin crazy with the installs!  LMAO
[07:16] <soldats> !info xine
[07:16] <ubotu> Package xine does not exist in gutsy
[07:16] <genewitch> Arooni try a google search for "linux s.m.a.r.t."
[07:16] <ppibburr> adrock: check in those directories, see if you have a file with a timestamp or ~ or .back
[07:16] <zetheroo> JDLimbo: they all seem to mount it fine and sync the library and copy the music just fine....
[07:16] <zetheroo> JDLimbo: but once the iPod is unmounted there is nothing in the Music area
[07:16] <genewitch> FSCK will check your file systems though.
[07:16] <misslecommander> JDLimbo: yw
[07:17] <JDLimbo> zetheroo, well... are you putting in mp3's or m4a's?
[07:17] <zetheroo> JDLimbo: mp3's
[07:17] <JDLimbo> I don't know if that would actually be an issue, but you could try with some m4a's and see if that works
[07:17] <adrock358> ppibburr.  i dyin.  open up the files to search for those symbols or just the title should have them?  thank you.
[07:18] <CruCio> How am i suppose to know what my architecture is ?
[07:18] <ppibburr> adrock: title
[07:18] <ppibburr> arch
[07:18] <CruCio> ppibburr
[07:19] <genewitch> crucio in a terminal window type uname -a
[07:19] <crwlr> is it better to have all my music .mp3 or .ogg or .m4a?
[07:19] <CruCio> yes
[07:19] <CruCio> type what ?
[07:19] <genewitch> uname -a
[07:19] <ppibburr> arch
[07:19] <CruCio> uname -a ?
[07:19] <genewitch> or arch
[07:19] <CruCio> ok
[07:19] <genewitch> hehe
[07:19] <CruCio> ??
[07:19] <JDLimbo> crwlr it really depends on personal preference. those are all lossy formats, so sound quality won't really be affected
[07:19] <CruCio> hmm
[07:19] <CruCio> its ppc64
[07:20] <crwlr> jdlimbo: a big 10-4 on that bozz
[07:20] <genewitch> crucio architecture means like i386, i686, x64, stuff like that
[07:20] <ppibburr> powerpc 64-bit
[07:20] <CruCio>  Tue Dec 18 10:47:41 UTC 2007 ppc64 GNU/Linux
[07:20] <CruCio> yes
[07:20] <crwlr> got my whole cd collection on my desktop...about 20k songs...didnt feel like converting them anyways :p
[07:20] <CruCio> i can't find any sun-java6-bin for ppc64 :(
[07:21] <JDLimbo> although, .ogg has yet to achieve widespread acceptance in terms of media devices like ipod or zune.
[07:21] <crwlr> dont use either of em, jdlimbo, so im good
[07:21] <adrock358> ppibburr  no time stamps or anything i don't think but i'll keep looking
[07:21] <misslecommander> !java
[07:21] <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)
[07:21] <misslecommander> dont know that will help but
[07:22] <EcoBlue> so now that I run ubuntu, what "must-have" apps are there for it
[07:23] <adrock358> ppibburr yeah i don't think so none of that stuff.
[07:23] <soldats> EcoBlue, depends on what you want to do
[07:23] <JDLimbo> EcoBlue, I like amaroK for music management, azureus for torrenting.
[07:24] <genewitch> So to reiterate my problem, I have a synaptics touchpad that is not functioning at all. The evdev is in lsmod, it's listed in xorg.conf, but xorg.0.log saying that no repeaters found and it unloads the module. I can't seem to figure out how to get SHMConfig to work, for some reason.
[07:24] <JDLimbo> a lot of the built in apps are more than functional
[07:24] <ppibburr> adrock: you need to undo the changes, but i assume you built the kernel with the changes
[07:24] <adrock358> ppiburr, so essentially I'm stuck at trying to update the boot image.  I have changed all necessary files.  Is there a way around this?  What was "nope nvm," which you described to me earlier?  Thanks.
[07:24] <genewitch> synclient, gsynaptics, etc won't work cause SHMConfig won't load.
[07:25] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: evdev? Do you mean you have a touchscreen or a touchpad?
[07:25] <mhall> has anyone gotten ndiswrapper to work yet?
[07:25] <EcoBlue> soldats: network hacking?
[07:25] <genewitch> touchpad
[07:25] <vontux> hi, is there a reason why the xorg.conf file from the ubuntu live-cd won't work when copied to my hard drive installation?
[07:25] <CruCio> is there a difference in PPC64 and PPC ?
[07:25] <genewitch> All the stuff said to type lsmod |grep evdev
[07:25] <pr0nGuy> What's a good program to store names and addresses?
[07:25] <genewitch> and make sure evdev was listed
[07:25] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Ok... if memory serves evdev is for touchscreens.
[07:25] <adrock358> ppiburr.  right, which I have done.  but I need to rebuild.  but I cannot.
[07:25]  * genewitch shrugs
[07:26] <genewitch> maybe synaptics uses the same basic commands or something
[07:26] <soldats> EcoBlue, define hacking
[07:26] <vontux> hi, is there a reason why the xorg.conf file from the ubuntu live-cd won't work when copied to my hard drive installation?
[07:26] <n2diy>  prOnGuy, any spreadsheet?
[07:26] <EcoBlue> soldats: I dunno, having fun with windows?
[07:26] <genewitch> ettercap is my favorite network tool, EcoBlue
[07:26] <JDLimbo> o hai guise how does I can hax plzkthx
[07:27] <pr0nGuy> n2diy: that's what I'm using now.  I just thought there would be something nicer that someone could suggest.
[07:27] <ppibburr> adrock: did the rebuild command give any ouput to hint at success?
[07:27] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Hang on... ah no. That was something else. ok, well what are you trying to do. I just spent the other day learning about synaptics and xorg.
[07:27] <JDLimbo> linix gud fer dat amirite
[07:27] <soldats> EcoBlue, this isnt really the place for that kind of question. this is for tech support. but "SSH" is your friend
[07:27] <n2diy>  prOnGuy, ok, do you want to put together mailing lists and stuff like that?
[07:27] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: Ok, my touchpad is unresponsive. the xorg log says it's unloading the module because there's no repeater
[07:27] <Richard_Balls> I messed around with xorg.conf and now when I start X I get a blank screen
[07:28] <Richard_Balls> how can I restore?
[07:28] <adrock358> can I back up my files to my ipod and reinstall.  i only have a few gigs of stuff i want.  and then the network configuration stuff i wan b/c that took a while
[07:28] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: I was trying different things on different forums and websites, and i ended up breaking the xorg completely, so now i have a fresh install
[07:28] <JDLimbo> *kof*airmon-ng*kofkof*
[07:28] <adrock358> ppibburr.can I back up my files to my ipod and reinstall.  i only have a few gigs of stuff i want.  and then the network configuration stuff i wan b/c that took a while
[07:28] <ppibburr> richard: the xorg.conf will have timestampded backuos(s) use one
[07:28] <pr0nGuy> n2diy; that's another possibility, but mostly I need just a regular address book.  I see a bunch in synaptic.  Just wondering what might be good.
[07:28] <Richard_Balls> ppibburr, how?
[07:29] <ppibburr> adrock: sure
[07:29] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Fresh install, that's good. So the first thing you should do is "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg/conf.orig
[07:29] <Richard_Balls> from recovery mode
[07:29] <genewitch> roger
[07:29] <JDLimbo> genewich: from now on, 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup
[07:29] <ppibburr> adrock: thats why i like, '/home' as a partition
[07:29] <JDLimbo> er what he said
[07:29] <Richard_Balls> oh hey will that work for me too
[07:30] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: done.
[07:30] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch:  That command backs up your xorg. So that if it gets messed up, all you have to do is get to a shell and then copy the xorg.orig back over xorg.conf
[07:30] <genewitch> JD i had it backed up
[07:30] <adrock358> ppibburr.  i think i'm done man.  thanks for the info and stuff
[07:30] <n2diy>  prOnGuy, ok, I haven't tried to set up anything like a mail merge, but would hope Openoffice can do that? For now I just keep my contact info. in OO, and or Gnumeric.
[07:30] <ppibburr> richard: in a terminal -> s /etc/X11
[07:30] <misslecommander> ppibburr: whats the advantage of having /home on its own partition ?
[07:30] <ppibburr> adrock: welcome
[07:30] <genewitch> JDLimbo: but it locked me out completely and i didn't know the command to tell it text only instead of gui boot to fix it
[07:30] <Martinzz> WOHOOOO!! got it!
[07:31] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: You have to boot into recovery mode.
[07:31] <JDLimbo> later on, from a recovery terminal, 'sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup' saveas xorg.conf
[07:31] <JDLimbo> err
[07:31] <JDLimbo> notsure, might have to use vim
[07:32] <JDLimbo> gedit probably doesn't work in text only mode.
[07:32] <misslecommander> genwitch: Ctrl Alt F1 at login screen wont work ?
[07:32] <CruCio> is anyone here on ps3 ?
[07:32] <genewitch> JDLimbo: it didnt give me a console
[07:32] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Doesn't matter. You've got a clean install now. You say it's unresponsive? I guess you've tried to install gsynaptic and make it more sensitive?
[07:32] <genewitch> misslecommander: nope, nor f2-f9
[07:32] <pr0nGuy> n2diy: ok. but I am using spreadsheets already.  I'm looking into "contacts"
[07:32] <Richard_Balls> ppibburr, 's:command not found"
[07:32] <JDLimbo> genewitch: you go into the recovery mode from the GRUB menu, I believe
[07:32] <misslecommander> genewitch: ok
[07:32] <ppibburr> richard: ls
[07:33] <soldats> genewitch, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" will recreate your xorg file to the basics and ready to use
[07:33] <pr0nGuy> n2diy: ok. "rubrica" looks like another option.
[07:33] <genewitch> soldats: thanks, i know that. but i couldn't get a console up.
[07:33] <JDLimbo> like, as your computer is first booting up
[07:33] <genewitch> was just a black screen
[07:33] <n2diy>  prOnGuy, well, I don't know whether it is capable of doing what you want, but Korganizer is a great calendar/todo list program.
[07:34] <soldats> ok well when you get terminal....
[07:34] <pr0nGuy> n2diy: I'm looking for something simple that my family can use as an addressbook.
[07:34] <ppibburr> sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.cof.stamp /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:35] <JDLimbo> mm, evolution isn't simple enough?
[07:35] <neeto> sometimes I will find myself unable to type in certain windows and I will have to restart the program who fathered the window in order for it to be fixed. is this a known issue?
[07:35] <achandrashekar> hello all..does anyone have experience with setup of an ltsp environment??
[07:35] <JDLimbo> a good idea may be to have a backup on an external disk
[07:35] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Well, now that you've got a fresh install, have you installed gsynaptic yet?
[07:35] <JDLimbo> neeto: a little more context please
[07:36] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: apt-get is busy so i have to wait a moment
[07:36] <pr0nGuy> n2diy: actually "contacts" is more for phone and PDAs.  I'm installing "rubrica" for the desktop.
[07:36] <neeto> JDLimbo: it's hard to give, the problem is intermittent.
[07:36] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: but when i installed it last time, it said you need "option SHMConfig on" in xorg.conf
[07:36] <genewitch> so i did that. i also tried "true" instead of "on"
[07:36] <misslecommander> neeto: have heard, but, i had to change my keyboard type so the pc-speaker wouldnt beep when i typed
[07:36] <genewitch> but synclient -l said SHMConfig isn't enabled
[07:36] <misslecommander> neeto: havent heard
[07:37] <neeto> hmm
[07:37] <neeto> now that you mention it, I think it might have to do with SCIM
[07:37] <neeto> I'll look into it
[07:37] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Yeah, here's a link with where to put it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205594    scroll down to #7
[07:37] <fatedkiss> anyone in here use skype?
[07:37] <ppibburr> gizmo
[07:38] <n2diy>  prOnGuy, ok, korganizer doesn't play with addresses or contacts, which I thought it did. Not familiar with the other two programs, good luck.
[07:38] <neeto> fatedkiss: I just installed it, what's up?
[07:38] <_Codeman_> I seem to have lost my title bars... all of them... I have restarted a few times and they do not return... can anyone help me get them back?
[07:38] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Note how you have to restart 'X" before that Xorg change takes effect.
[07:38] <fatedkiss> i tried to use it and my mic was working fine, then it stopped
[07:38] <neeto> _Codeman_: what window manager are you using?
[07:38] <JDLimbo> _Codeman_, are you using compiz-fusion?
[07:38] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: yeah. I will try that again. One tick :-)
[07:38] <_Codeman_> gnome w/ compiz
[07:39] <fatedkiss> neeto, it work ok for you?
[07:39] <JDLimbo> terminal ccsm
[07:39] <JDLimbo> _Codeman_, type 'ccsm' in a terminal
[07:39] <neeto> fatedkiss: seems to, have you looked at your system volume?
[07:40] <JDLimbo> search for the button labeled 'window decorator' in the menu that pops up
[07:40] <fatedkiss> neeto, yeah my system volume was ok, mic was turned up, and capture was ok
[07:40] <Javid> where can I get more gnome-panel stuff?
[07:40] <kama> good morning
[07:40] <neeto> fatedkiss
[07:40] <misslecommander> JDLimbo: what does ccsm do ?
[07:40] <neeto> fatedkiss: so your capture is running fine, but skype isn't picking up your mic at all?
[07:41] <JDLimbo> _Codeman_, click it, then in the command field type 'gtk-window-decorator'
[07:41] <fatedkiss> neeto, correct
[07:41] <JDLimbo> compiz "something" "something" manager
[07:41] <vontux> hi, is there a reason why the xorg.conf file from the ubuntu live-cd won't work when copied to my hard drive installation?
[07:41] <elkbuntu> Richard_Balls, can you please change your nick to something that does not have rude implications?
[07:41] <fatedkiss> neeto, or at least the capture on alsamixer
[07:42] <crdlb> JDLimbo: that doesn't really work on ubuntu due to compiz-manager
[07:42] <misslecommander> JDLimbo: it wont change anything if i choose not to right ?
[07:42] <neeto> fatedkiss: what is your sound capture device?
[07:42] <crdlb> _Codeman_: nvidia?
[07:42] <genewitch> is ctrl-alt-backspace gunna kick me off IRC?
[07:42] <_Codeman_> Yes
[07:42] <fatedkiss> neeto, no idea really would that be the same as my sound card?
[07:42] <ArthurArchnix> Technically, you're going to kick yourself off... but yes.
[07:42] <Luria> _codeman_ try "compiz --replace &" in a shell for the moment
[07:42] <misslecommander> i searched Yelp for ccsm, it had no entries
[07:43] <genewitch> ok i'll be right back
[07:43] <JDLimbo> misslecommander if you don't change anything in the menu that pops up, then nothing will be changed
[07:43] <misslecommander> JDLimbo: ok, i cant afford to make more work for myself :)
[07:43] <_Codeman_> JDLimbo: thanks that help
[07:43] <achandrashekar> Anyone have experience setting up linux terminal server in ubuntu??
[07:43] <neeto> fatedkiss: yes, go to skype settings, then go to sound devices, and select the one you are using
[07:43] <n2diy> achandrashekar: linux is a terminal server?
[07:44] <neeto> fatedkiss: I'ma go smoke, I'll be back in 20 minutes or so. If it still doesn't work, just let me know
[07:44] <JDLimbo> _Codeman_, you're welcome. You may have to restart after changing it
[07:44] <fatedkiss> neeto, ok
[07:44] <_Codeman_> Luria: tried that... it froze my computer twice
[07:44] <bruce__> new to ubuntu n e one know were i can download  any intro books???
[07:45] <genewitch> in the preferences menu i pick "touchpad" and it says "SHMConfig" must be set to "true"; gsynaptics couldn't initialize
[07:45] <_Codeman_> JDLimbo: It seems to have worked but I know how compiz can be sometimes so if it acts up, I'll restart :-D
[07:45] <achandrashekar> n2diy: yep you can set up as such - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto
[07:46] <JDLimbo> _Codeman_, hopefully that should take care of that problem for good
[07:46] <Luria> compiz isnt 100% stable :-/
[07:46] <n2diy> bruce__:  take a look at: http://rute.2038bug.com/rute.html.gz
[07:46] <JDLimbo> hang on though, I saw a great guide for configuring compiz, somewheres on the interweb
[07:46] <Luria> un/fortunately, its kinda handy on small screens, making it a key program on my eee :-)
[07:47] <misslecommander> JDLimbow: just what i have been looking for, thank you
[07:47] <Jambon_> hi, I'm having issues viewing videos in 7.10. I just get a black screen and sound. no video
[07:47] <n2diy> achandrashekar: yes, but you already have seven terminals at your finger tips, F1 through F7.
[07:48] <_Codeman_> hmm now my title bar and border color is maroon... would emerald do that cuz I installed it thinking it might fix it... I wanted the blue color that I chose in appearances
[07:48] <achandrashekar> n2diy: yeah..I didnt expound..need to set up a network of some p3's connected to a ltsp server..
[07:48] <genewitch> my Xorg.0.log says no synaptics: 6003c8 (EE) Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
[07:48] <homo_erectus> spanish?
[07:48] <genewitch> and preinit failed, unloadmodule "synaptics"
[07:48] <n2diy> achandrashekar: If your looking for Thin Terminals,  Edubuntu is designed for that, and the server too. #edubuntu.
[07:48] <bruce__> thanx n2diy ill save the link. do you know of any other ones i can download (i put them on a psp so i can read on the bus)
[07:49] <quaal> how do i make the gnome login screen (gdm?) the correct resolution (1280x1024)
[07:49] <JDLimbo> _Codeman_, misslecommander http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/29/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion
[07:49] <n2diy> bruce__: no I don't, except for #ubuntu! ;)
[07:49] <crdlb> _Codeman_: yes, emerald caused that
[07:49] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: post output of lspci to pastebin
[07:49] <crdlb> _Codeman_: it has its own theme format, and will not use your metacity theme
[07:50] <JDLimbo> ahh... I know nothing of emerald.
[07:50] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: is pastebin on ubuntu.com
[07:50] <bruce__> ok thanx
[07:50] <achandrashekar> n2diy:  I suppose I could use that just right of the box..I was being bold in understanding what ltsp clients were offered. Im understanding "how" the client actually loads..its more academic in nature for me right now to learn why/how it works.
[07:50] <Luria> _codeman_ see the emerald theme manager
[07:50] <soldats> !paste | genewitch
[07:50] <ubotu> genewitch: 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)
[07:50] <Jambon_> anyone know why I can't play videos?
[07:51] <n2diy> achandrashekar: fine business, I don't know much about it either, but I'm interested in it.
[07:51] <JDLimbo> Jambon_, ehh.. nope. What kind of computer you got?
[07:51] <achandrashekar> Jambon_: likely because you are missing some restricted packages
[07:51] <JDLimbo> that could be it too
[07:51] <Jambon_> the weird thing is this started happenin yesterday
[07:51] <Jambon_> it was working before
[07:51] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52984/
[07:52] <Jambon_> and I haven't messed with the video settings
[07:52] <achandrashekar> n2diy: its a bit interesting...at least according to this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto
[07:52] <penars> emacs isn't installed on xubuntu by default?
[07:52] <Luria> penars, no
[07:52] <genewitch> nope, penars
[07:53] <penars> how come
[07:53] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: And what's the make and model of your laptop?
[07:53] <genewitch> cause it has nano and vim
[07:53] <Luria> cause its supposed to be small
[07:53] <genewitch> medion uh
[07:53] <JDLimbo> man that would piss me off. Movies = about 2/3's of everything I do with my computer
[07:53] <Luria> well, not full vim either, but thats an apt-get away
[07:53] <quaal> how do i make the gnome login screen (gdm?) the correct resolution (1280x1024)
[07:53] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: you need the model number?
[07:54] <genewitch> It's dark :-)
[07:54] <JDLimbo> quaal, that's a little tougher
[07:54] <genewitch> brb, flashlight
[07:54] <quaal> JDLimbo, its like cut off shorter
[07:54] <quaal> looks weird
[07:54] <JDLimbo> this is more of an ubuntu room, you're going to have to talk to some gnome people
[07:54] <Jambon_> JDLimbo: my computer is a laptop with a radeon 9200 mobility. I've been having issues with getting an external monitor to work without the laptop screen being on, but I gave up on that. After I got thing back to normal things were find until yesterday. Now I can't watch any videos, in either movie player or vlc
[07:54] <JDLimbo> they have big ol' docs at their website, lemme see what I can find
[07:55] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: MD40812
[07:55] <genewitch> medion
[07:55] <n2diy> achandrashekar: yes, and I'll take a look at that shortly. Are you aware of the #ubuntu-marketing channel? They aren't very active as of yet. But could be of help promoting Thin Clients and Servers to local schoolS
[07:56] <JDLimbo> hrm
[07:56] <n2diy> *schoolS/schools?
[07:56] <quaal> anyone here run a wrap device
[07:56] <genewitch> my CUE key is broken
[07:56] <genewitch> like the first letter of uall's name
[07:56] <genewitch> hehe
[07:57] <bdancer> re
[07:57] <JDLimbo> Jambon_, just 'sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg' or something of that nature...
[07:57] <achandrashekar> n2diy:really!!!!??????Holy moly!!! sweet! Im a teacher and we could use the help!
[07:57] <JDLimbo> that's the first thing I would try
[07:57] <achandrashekar> will be on there in 1 sec
[07:57] <Jambon_> JDLimbo: k
[07:58] <achandrashekar> n2diy: in pomona california....low socioeconomic kids...mainly hispanic
[07:58] <bdancer> can someone help me? is it possible to set console resolution to 1650x1050?
[07:58] <ArthurArchnix> hey genewitch the next time you reboot, instead of booting normally, go into grub, go to the ubuntu 7.10 kernel option, press 'e' to edit, go to the end  of the line and type this, without quotes "i8042.nomux", put a space after splash or something. Then hit esc (I think) and press 'b' to boot.
[07:58] <JDLimbo> umm
[07:58] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: tried that
[07:58] <genewitch> will try again
[07:58] <n2diy> achandrashekar: roger, waiting for you at #ubuntu-marketing.
[07:58] <genewitch> brb
[07:59] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: You're using Gutsy?
[07:59] <JDLimbo> hope I gave him the right command
[07:59] <olskolirc> does Gutsy have a version of glibc?  I can find it in repository
[07:59] <olskolirc> !glibc
[07:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glibc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:59] <BloodyScum> has the problem with x been fixed yet, is it safe to update it now?
[08:00] <olskolirc> !glib
[08:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glib - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:00] <Ambisi> Why doesn't XChat-Ubuntu have any icon for it?
[08:00] <olskolirc> good question BloodyScum
[08:00] <bdancer> BloodyScum, apt-cache show libc6
[08:01] <_Codeman_> thanks again
[08:01] <ppibburr> ?glibc
[08:01] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: no go on the i8042.nomux
[08:02] <genewitch> i'm gunna change "on" to "true"
[08:02] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Give me one more try.. I'm losing hope though. I've seen reports that non-debian systems are working ok.... like Fedora 8 maybe. They have a live cd did you try that? Asking, not suggesting. Just trying to narrow down the problem.
[08:03] <genewitch> no, i haven't tried anything else
[08:03] <genewitch> most of the people
[08:03] <genewitch> having problems with synaptics are trying to turn it off, or get the scrolling functions to work
[08:03] <Jono> Hi, I just had a quick question. I am a noob when it comes to Ubuntu, I went through the installation process of the LAMP server, and now it is promting me with Maxivik login:   but it says my password is wrong
[08:03] <genewitch> mine just doesn't functon
[08:03] <grekkos> Ubuntu isn't connecting to my network automatically -- what can I do to fix this?'
[08:04] <crwlr> bazhang: well bud, i got my desktop setup with 7.10 and it's running very nicely.  i will be messing with the twinview tomorrow, think you will be around to help me out with that?
[08:04] <bdancer> grekkos, do u use Network Manager in tray?
[08:04] <grekkos> bdancer: if that's what this icon in the tray is called
[08:04] <bdancer> grekkos, it runs perfectly for me
[08:04] <Jambon_> JDLimbo: still no luck. restarted x and same thing. video is just black with audio
[08:04] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: i'm gunna ctrl-alt-backspace, back in a jiffy
[08:05] <grekkos> bdancer: it used to run ok i had to disable some option that was making it try to use wireless internet or something -- my desktop is hardwired
[08:05] <grekkos> bdancer: this is a clean install now on the same machine
[08:05] <JDLimbo> quaal, http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/docs/2.8/gdm.html maybe there's something in there
[08:05] <bazhang> crwlr: well I'm not much of an expert, but likely will be around if you want my very limited assistance :}
[08:06] <genewitch> ok back
[08:06] <Onyx> crossover office is a piece of crap
[08:06] <bdancer> grekkos, so how it work now? only manual change every time? or what?
[08:06] <crwlr> aight, its all good, bazhang.  just about time for me to crash.  got a long day of work in 6 hours
[08:06] <Vie_imoet> hi... can some1 help howto connect 2 hotspot using kubuntu
[08:06] <bazhang> cya
[08:06] <JDLimbo> Jambon_, what exactly did you try to do to get the external monitor?
[08:06] <grekkos> bdancer: well i usually just run dhclient manually, let me try rebooting now though I changed an option in the tray icon's menu maybe it will stay like this
[08:07] <ArthurArchnix> Yeah... hey, genewitch can you post the output of dmesg to pastebin. That's a log of your boot up messages, any errors that the kernel experienced trying to initialize your synaptic driver should show up there.
[08:07] <misslecommander> how do you run dhcp manually ? the dhcp conf file ?
[08:07] <grekkos> sudo dhclient
[08:07] <yao_ziyuan> i'm using ubuntu but my boot screen is "kubuntu". how do i change it to ubuntu?
[08:07] <grekkos> in a terminal
[08:07] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: sure, need xorg.0.log or anything else?
[08:07] <misslecommander> thank you
[08:07] <grekkos> or sudo dhclient (device)
[08:07] <ArthurArchnix> Nah... I don't think this is an xorg issue.
[08:07] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: very well, two ticks
[08:08] <bdancer> grekkos, but there is an option of dhcp in network manager i guess
[08:08] <BloodyScum> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969  prevous x bug that i think has been fixed
[08:08] <yao_ziyuan> also, after logoff, there is a kubuntu boot screen before computer poweroff
[08:08] <Nubbie> Hi, i'm using my home folder as my desktop, and I am constantly annoyed by the nautilus-debug-log.txt file which appears every time i log in. Any suggestions?
[08:08] <bdancer> how can i set widescreen resolution in console??
[08:08] <joenet> hi... can some1 help me howto connect 2 wireless hotspot using kubuntu
[08:08] <grekkos> bdancer: I guess really all I was looking for is where the network manager is -- I remember i had to change some gui option to get it working
[08:08] <grekkos> bdancer: i think xrandr will change resolutions from console
[08:08] <bdancer> ))
[08:08] <ppibburr> joenet: do you have knetworkmanager?
[08:08] <Jambon_> JDLimbo: well the laptops screen doesn't work, so I hooked up an external monitor. all I tried was to tell the scree and graphics manager the model of my monitor so I could get better refresh rates. Ended up in safe mode. Reverted to default, and now after a while of work videos don't play. might it be an update problem?
[08:09] <joenet> yes
[08:09] <bdancer> grekkos, nop... not from console but for console ))
[08:09] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52987/
[08:09] <ppibburr> joenet: is your wireless iterface up?
[08:09] <JDLimbo> the damned screen and graphics manager
[08:09] <grekkos> oh
[08:09] <joenet> yes
[08:09] <joenet> but is not shown on knetworkmng
[08:11] <bod_> hey guys,.,. how do i change the orange colour of the top-bar on windows to a colour of my choice?
[08:11] <grekkos> my ubuntu 7.10 is not connecting to the wired network automatically still - can anyone help?
[08:11] <grekkos> bod_: System -> Preferences - Appearances
[08:11] <grekkos> bod_: also check out http://gnome-look.org for more gnome themes
[08:12] <[chr0n0s]> grekkos, which ethernet contoller you have?
[08:12] <ppibburr> joenet: does right clicing on the knetworkmanager tayicon give you "connect to other wireless netowrks"
[08:12] <fatedkiss> anyone know the syntax to force an installer for a i386 file?
[08:12] <simion314> Please help me, the sound volume icon on the panel is no more and  my sound is on MUTE and i can't turn it on, please tel me how can i repair this
[08:12] <JDLimbo> Jambon_, I may have had that command wrong before. Try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[08:12] <bod_> grekkos, cheers dude
[08:12] <Jambon_> i got it
[08:12] <grekkos> [chr0n0s]: I'm not sure... it's tulip compatible does that help?
[08:12] <joenet> if i would to connect ssid PGSD, what command should i write
[08:13] <JDLimbo> simion314, what kind of computer do you have?
[08:13] <grekkos> bod_:  :D
[08:13] <rootborn> can some one help me to make my wireless of my laptop to work ?
[08:13] <yao_ziyuan> how do i change the splash screen back to "ubuntu"?
[08:13] <Jambon_> same old same old even after that
[08:13] <grekkos> [chr0n0s]: i remember to fix this the last time I installed I had to open some kind of network manager GUI and disable it
[08:13] <simion314> JDLimbo: laptop
[08:13] <yao_ziyuan> i installed kubuntu-desktop, so the splash screen is "kubuntu" despite i reconfigure gdm
[08:13] <JDLimbo> simion314, toshiba satellite?
[08:13] <joenet> ppibburr: no, wireless are not shown
[08:13] <fatedkiss> simion314, right click on the pannel and select +ad to panel?
[08:13] <ArthurArchnix> hmm.... genewitch can you unplug your mouse, reboot, then once you log in, run dmesg again and repost?
[08:14] <genewitch> sure thing
[08:14] <[chr0n0s]> knetworkmanager in KDE works fine
[08:14] <genewitch> does that update each time?
[08:14] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Yeah, it's last boot log.
[08:14] <grekkos> [chr0n0s]: i'm using gnome
[08:14] <simion314> JDLimbo: no, compaq evo n600c
[08:14] <genewitch> oh if i have no mouse, is there an easy way to get a terminal?
[08:14] <JDLimbo> Jambon_, sorry man, I'm stumped
[08:14] <[chr0n0s]> grekkos, look for the network manager of gnome
[08:14] <grekkos> [chr0n0s]: i'm pretty sure it's trying to use some wireless network assistant program, and I have no wireless adapter
[08:14] <genewitch> or can i plug it in before i type dmesg
[08:14] <ppibburr> ctl-altf3
[08:14] <bod_> grekkos, a message says "The current controls them does not support colour schemes"
[08:14] <simion314> JDLimbo: it has 2 volume buttons and my little kid pres on them until i habe no sound
[08:14] <genewitch> ok, be back in a couple then
[08:15] <grekkos> bod_: What did you do to get this message?
[08:15] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Well, login manager should pop up, log in, then hit alt+F2, then hit gnome-terminal
[08:15] <Nubbie> bod_: then get a new theme.
[08:15] <ArthurArchnix> or type rather
[08:15] <Jambon_> anyone else? black video?
[08:15] <genewitch> aye
[08:15] <bod_> Nubbie, i want to edit this theme
[08:15] <ppibburr> joenet: you ever have wireless working?
[08:15] <Nubbie> Jambon_: try disabling desktop effects.
[08:15] <bod_> grekkos, appearence-->theme (tab)-->preference-->colour (tab)
[08:16] <Nubbie> bod_: i would contact the author of the theme, they can point you to the right section to edit then.
[08:16] <UberDay> can anyone help me every time i boot up ubuntu and when i click on wired network while trying to connect to the internet my hole pc freezes is there a way i can fix this?
[08:16] <bod_> Nubbie, its the default theme
[08:16] <Jambon_> Nubbie: tried and failed
[08:16] <JDLimbo> simion314, not to sound insulting, but did you try right clicking on the toolbar>add to panel>search for volume control
[08:17] <simion314> fatedkiss>: i added the volume icon, it do not appear, i must restart X?
[08:17] <bod_> Jambon_, wots the problem?
[08:17] <duvnel1> hey, I'm trying to use the fglrx driver.. I've had it working.. tonight I tried to install ATI's latest and that TOTALLY fracked things up.. well I've got everything mostly working now: correct resolution, fglrx module is loading automatically..
[08:17] <Jambon_> bod_: video is just black. I only get sound. same problem reguardless of video player
[08:18] <duvnel1> .. only it's very sluggish with and without the gl desktop enabled
[08:18] <VvWolverinevV> hi, my totem movie player freezes when i try to play certain avi files, anyone know why?
[08:18] <fatedkiss> simion314, umm, i didnt have to
[08:18] <ppibburr> simon13: run command: volumeMangerName
[08:18] <simion314> JDLimbo>: i tried that now but i belive i must restart X
[08:18] <duvnel1> I think the dri extension is not being enabled.. any idea how to verify if it is, or what the problem might be?
[08:18] <simion314> Thx all i will restart
[08:19] <bod_> Jambon_, unsupported format?
[08:19] <creature> Hello. I have recently installed Ubuntu. Ubuntu has decided it wants to use my onboard soundcard rather than my actual soundcard (a PCI card). How do I convince ALSA to forget about the motherboard and use the PCI card instead?
[08:19] <Jambon_> bod_: it has stopped working on videos that were working
[08:19] <JDLimbo> Jambon_, just out of curiosity, what is your video chipset? nVidia? ATI? Intel?
[08:19] <bod_> Jambon_, recent update?
[08:19] <Junkee> creature: did you disable onboard sound in your bios?
[08:20] <Jambon_> JDLimbo: ati mobility 9200
[08:20] <Jambon_> it's working fine otherwise
[08:20] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52988/
[08:20] <Jambon_> except for the whole dual monitors thing
[08:20] <duvnel1> creature: either disable in bios or do a blacklist of your onboard in /etc/modules
[08:20] <creature> Junkee: I don't think so. But I'm not sure I'd want to. I don't mind the soundcard being there, and I may want to use it in future, but it's not the primary card.
[08:21] <duvnel1> creature: there are also sound prefs under the system menu
[08:21] <duvnel1> .. to select default
[08:22] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: It is as I feared, this has nothing to do with 'X'. The kernel doesn't detect your touchpad.
[08:23] <simion314> JDLimbo: yes it was on Mute, i do not had to restart anyway, i do not know that feature of adding those application to the panel
[08:24] <MattMan___VB6> can anyone help me half the time when i go to connect to the internet and hit wired network. my hole system freeze's on me ? anyone know what it might be?
[08:24] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Sorry.... lost connection. You get that last post?
[08:24] <JDLimbo> well now you know! learn something new every day, that's what I say
[08:24] <ppibburr> forget 5 old things too :)
[08:25] <JDLimbo> yeah that's probably not a bad idea
[08:25] <JDLimbo> free up some space
[08:25] <ppibburr> haha
[08:25] <joenet> how can i connect to hotspot named "PGSD" using iwconfig?
[08:25] <rootborn> please can some one help me to make my wireless of my laptop to work ?
[08:26] <joenet> i'm newbie
[08:26] <joenet> i'm using laptop too
[08:26] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Ok... well, there's nothing wrong with 'xorg'. The kernel isn't detecting your touchpad. Here, take a look at my output. If you search or scroll down to line 314 you'll see what it looks like when ubuntu's kernel detects a touchpad. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52989/   In yours, I can't find any remark about detecting a touchpad.
[08:26] <JDLimbo> loose wire?
[08:26] <JDLimbo> invest in a usb mouse
[08:27] <rootborn> joenet, do you got some problems with your wireless?

[08:34] <genewitch> you guys rock, and i'll be in here to help as well
[08:34] <genewitch> lupos\royman: you have to have an irc daemon :-)
[08:34] <joenet> ppibburr:i cant play mp3 and avi(dvix/xvid)

[08:34] <Negromancer> Hello. My sound has stopped working for reasons unknown to me. I tried to dpkg-reconfigure alsa and it didn't fix it. I do not know what else to try.
[08:34] <ArthurArchnix> Wrong link.
[08:34] <genewitch> hehe clipboard error
[08:35] <lupos\royman> genewitch: yea ofc, but how do i do so someone can write /connect irc.mydomain.com ? its all fixed when installing the ircd?
[08:35] <olskolirc> Gutsy doesn't have glibc?
[08:35] <ppibburr> joenet: you need the restriced packages
[08:35] <genewitch> well
[08:35] <JDLimbo> negromancer what kind of computer do you have
[08:35] <ArthurArchnix> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52990/ so as I was saying, if your kernel was detecting your touchpad you'd see this second entry.
[08:35] <genewitch> that depends, is irc.mydomain.com a different IP than say www.mydomain.com?
[08:35] <Negromancer> IBM thinkpad a31p
[08:35] <lupos\royman> genewitch: no, they're the same, they're both om my computer
[08:35] <ppibburr> joenet: net up?
[08:36] <genewitch> ok make sure that you have * set to mydomain.com's ipaddress
[08:36] <rootborn> this is my output from lsmod | grep ipw2200 :      ipw2200               149320  0

[08:36] <Kassah> All my icons disappeared recently from OpenOffice... is this a common problem? is there an easy fix?
[08:36] <genewitch> i am assuming you're using dyndns or something similar. Go ahead and give them the domain name and port for your computer, and make sure you have the ports forwarded in your firewll
[08:36] <joenet> ppibburr:now i'm nt in PGSD hotspot range
[08:36] <lupos\royman> genewitch: at the dns provider? or in the ircdconfig
[08:36] <genewitch> if the ircd is running they'll be able to connect
[08:36] <genewitch> DNS provider
[08:36] <joenet> ppibburr:i'll try it later
[08:36] <lupos\royman> genewitch: yea using no-ip.com
[08:36] <lupos\royman> genewitch: kk thank you :)

[08:38] <Xabriel> ok, I'm very close to completing my dual boot of gutsy and XP, but I'm stuck on grub

[08:38] <co_sendirian> where is can I join to comunity fedora?
[08:39] <Madpilot> ubotu, themes | fatedkiss - this should be more than enough...

[08:39] <misslecommander> i tried to keep it as simple as possible
[08:39] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Well, here's the bug report for your laptop, and your issue. It would be really great if you could contribute to this bug report before trying another distribution. Maybe then we could get you back for Hardy. As it is, the poster reports success with PClinuxOS, and both Fedora8 and Suse10.2 have live cd's, so you can try them and see if the touchpad works before choosing one.
[08:39] <Xabriel> I though I had set up the boot menu, but whenever I boot up I go into the grub command line; just grub>
[08:39] <co_sendirian> anybody help me?
[08:39] <co_sendirian> to talk where is comunity fedora?
[08:39] <fatedkiss> O.o sweet jesus

[08:46] <vontux> ppibburr: yeah, well, here is the thing, I moved the hd from one box to another, so not on my current box
[08:46] <Madpilot> fatedkiss, yes
[08:46] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Hmmm... is that driver different than the one that ubuntu ships with?
[08:46] <timetravel0> hi everybody can i visualize the GUI connecting via SSH
[08:46] <genewitch> nope
[08:46] <ppibburr> vontux: hehe
[08:46] <joenet> D4rXz:udah pernah pk kubuntu?
[08:46] <vontux> ppibburr: so I did try recreating xorg.conf for the new machine, but to no avail
[08:46] <genewitch> same one, but when you download the targz in the INSTALL file it says how to enable it in kernel
[08:47] <fatedkiss> Madpilot, what would you say is better?
[08:47] <rootborn> please can some one help me to make my wireless of my laptop to work ?
[08:47] <joenet> rootborn:still not working?
[08:47] <D4rXz> ini lagi pake ubuntu
[08:47] <th0r> timetravel0 you have three choices, forward X via ssh, install vncserver, or install NX
[08:47] <prophY> hey, is it possible to print an encrypted password for me in terminal?
[08:47] <D4rXz> cos di kantor
[08:47] <Madpilot> fatedkiss, that's entirely a matter of opinion. I prefer gnome, I find kde too Windows-like.
[08:47] <joenet> rootborn:what wireless do you use? i'm intel
[08:48] <D4rXz> wew
[08:48]  * D4rXz sambil belajar bahasa inggris
[08:48] <fatedkiss> Madpilot, ok was asking for your opinion, thanks ^^
[08:48]  * D4rXz hohoho
[08:48]  * joenet podo brooooo
[08:48] <Madpilot> D4rXz, English here, please
[08:48] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: if i do redo the kernel (which i might give it a shot right now) is this the right channel to walk me through the hotswap and reboot process?
[08:48] <D4rXz> okey MR Madpilot
[08:49] <Madpilot> ubotu, id | D4rXz joenet
[08:49] <mkquist> hey all.  random question...  If anyone knows..  what's the difference between unix and linux? basically, aside the the free part?

[08:49] <neeto> What is the command to turn on the screensaver
[08:49] <n2diy> genewitch: check out #ubuntu-kernel
[08:49] <timetravel0> th0r: and the os is solaris
[08:49] <genewitch> n2diy: tnx
[08:49] <D4rXz> I want to learning english too in here...
[08:49] <joenet> ubotu:okkkk
[08:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about okkkk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:49] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Maybe. Depends on who you catch here. Certainly not me. last question, output of:  sudo modprobe -l | grep mouse
[08:50] <th0r> timetravel0 then the short answer to your question is probably no...unless the univ has made arrangements for one of those three you won't be able to get into the gui via ssh
[08:50] <prophY> is there a command to print out an md5 password i want? like encrypt test = 234912374nadf?
[08:50] <n2diy> D4rXz: what is your native language?
[08:50] <D4rXz> native <-- is aktif?
[08:50] <D4rXz> indonesian
[08:50] <ppibburr> mkquist: li u, kernel's are different, aside from being similar in feel to unix and ported libs, everything is different
[08:50] <n2diy> ! is

[08:51] <mar77i> morning... looking for a working mssql client for linux... does something like this exist?

[08:51] <th0r> timetravel0 in linux, if you have set it up, you can forward X through ssh and run X applications remotely. But solaris is another story
[08:52] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52993/
[08:52] <genewitch> oops, i lost scroll
[08:52] <genewitch> haha
[08:52] <genewitch> they're the same
[08:52] <misslecommander> genewitch: try /clear
[08:52] <D4rXz> there is body give me about configuration SELinux...?
[08:53] <genewitch> nah i was reading what n2diy and D4rXz were saying :-)
[08:53] <misslecommander> genewitch: doesnt seem to be any FIFO on my chat, so i have to /clear it once in a while
[08:53] <rmaj> what can one learn about the chattr (and the extended file modes)?
[08:53] <genewitch> i'm using pidgin, which seems fairly nice, actually
[08:53] <ppibburr> me too
[08:53] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Yeah. And the same as mine. I was just seeing if you had the same modules loaded. You must need another driver. If we knew which one, we could just try a modprobe -drivername which is a lot easier than recompiling the kernel.
[08:54] <rootborn> joenet, I'm Intel as well
[08:54] <kane77> pidgin is great, but I only use it for IM, I don't like irc in it
[08:54] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: the drivers end in so or ko?
[08:55] <ppibburr> rootborn: suggest a google search for ubuntu wireles and any information about the chipset and driver
[08:55] <genewitch> let me get that driver from telia and read the install again.
[08:55] <misslecommander> maybe there is a setting for it, but i couldnt find it, but, it would relog me in auto even if i chose to disconnect
[08:55] <neeto> Is there a way to turn on the screensaver immediately after entering a certain command, if yes, what is this command?
[08:55] <joenet> rootborn:my wifi was set up automatically... im using kubuntu 7.10
[08:55] <D4rXz> why ICQ not running in GAIM..?I'm use distro ubuntu now...
[08:56] <Javid> is there a way to take a screenshot of your screensaver in action?
[08:56] <D4rXz> I'm try to login ICQ but nothing respon ..
[08:56] <Javid> I think electricsheep frames would make some kickass wallpapers
[08:56] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: ko
[08:56] <rootborn> joenet, I use 7.10
[08:56] <GHz> Hello, I need help. My pc is running very slow, so slow I have to use my friends pc to do anything!!! Now I tried to close one terminal and they all quit ARG!!!
[08:56] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: You should ask some more people about this before recompiling... I'm not convinced it will help. Those links you gave me, am I missing something? What did you see in them that led you to think a recompile would fix it?
[08:57] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: can you do me a favor and pastenbin your xorg.conf?
[08:58] <joenet> rootborn: switch it on and use knetworkmanager
[08:58] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch,If you like. but if I know anything, it's that your kernel doesn't detect your touchpad. And xorg just configures some of the hardware detected by your kernerl. So if this is related to your touchpad issue... :(
[09:00] <quaal> whats the command to list alsa devices

[09:03] <josh__> anyone run into the problem with emerald that when you change themes it doesnt actually kick in until you go to the command line and type emerald --replace & even if its running

[09:03] <joenet> rootborn:(Fn)+wireless icon
[09:03] <GHz> my pc has 2GB of RAM, an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 1GHz processor, three HDDs(250GB, 120GB, and 40GB) and dual boots winXP and ubuntu 7.10
[09:04] <PufF-> Trying to get GL/3D accelleration working with a radeon 9200 series and when i configure for the ati driver all i get is a black screen. tried a few different things i found via google and various forums and i am now out of ideas, anyone familiar with a known issue such as this?
[09:04] <jay-oh-en> GHz, i got the same thing pretty much but +3000
[09:04] <genewitch> ArthurArchnix: my  /proc/bus/input/devices is empty.
[09:04] <misslecommander> jah-oh-hen: try Ctrl Alt F1  then type sudo -i  <return> then type reboot
[09:04] <rekon> idling permitted in this channel?
[09:05] <rootborn> joenet, I got no active device in manual network configuration
[09:05] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Really? sudo cat /proc/bus/input/devices
[09:05] <fnordistus> pappnase
[09:05] <joenet> rootborn:did your eth0 r eth1 shown
[09:05] <genewitch> i run terminal as sudo su -
[09:05] <genewitch> but let me try that
[09:06] <misslecommander> jah-oh-hen: try Ctrl Alt F1  then type sudo -i  <return> then type shutdown  /// i believe works
[09:06] <ppibburr> shutdown now
[09:06] <rootborn> joenet, not there
[09:06] <dgjones> rekon, there's about a thousand people idling in the channel
[09:06] <joenet> im here
[09:06] <genewitch> nevermind
[09:06] <joenet> rootborn:did your eth0 or eth1 shown
[09:06] <JDLimbo> closer to 1100
[09:07] <GHz> jay-oh-en: yeah well I'm not finished stating what I have, and I bet you can watch youtube videos without firefox crashing >.<
[09:07] <rootborn> joenet, yes eth1
[09:07] <rootborn> is my wireless
[09:07] <rekon> dgjones, I figured as much but I have been banned from other networks and channels after a bot joined and kicked all the idlers. I was just making sure. Thanks :)
[09:07] <rootborn> and eth0 is LAN
[09:07] <ppibburr> rootborn: in a terminal: sudo dhclient
[09:07] <Daremonai> has anyone tried streaming music/videos with vlc on ubuntu?
[09:07] <ppibburr> rootborn: then ping google.com
[09:08] <jay-oh-en> GHz, yeah but firefox is horrible but its the only thing i use
[09:08] <joenet> rootborn:answered by ppibburr
[09:08] <ArthurArchnix> genewitch: Yeah. And when I run this: sudo cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep Touch*  my touchpad shows up. I don't expect yours will. It just filters the results so they're easier to search.
[09:09] <zetheroo> I have found out how to get the New iPod Nano to run in Ubuntu with Rythmbox, if anyone is having issues please let me know
[09:09] <ppibburr> jay-oh-en: mozilla bytecode compiler supporting loads of scripting languages :)!!!!!!
[09:09] <bullgard4> What is the reason that gnome-system-monitor always consumes so much CPU time (10% on my Intel M processor)?
[09:09] <jay-oh-en> how come everytime i click the shutdown button at the top right it freezes my X but i can still click things but nothing happens
[09:09] <joenet> rootborn:is your wireless not shown if you right click knetworkmanager?
[09:09] <dgjones> rekon, bots are banned here unless they're official ones from the channel operators, occasionally get a spambot, but they get dealy with quickly
[09:10] <vincent_> hey anyone feel like helping me out quickly?
[09:10] <GHz> jay-oh-en: it runs deeper than firefox though, I had irssi open in one terminal, was gonna get info in a nother terminal from cat /proc/cpu, and every terminal was turminated
[09:10] <rootborn> joenet, I had only kde install now I intsall kubuntu-desktop
[09:10] <rekon> dgjones, awesome..thanks for the info. First time on this chat, hopefully I can learn a few things :)
[09:11] <dgjones> !ask > vincent_
[09:11] <brubelsabs> Is there a howto on how to create man pages? I've heard that DocBook XML would be great.
[09:11] <GHz> all because one terminal was not doing anything and needed closing
[09:12] <joenet> rootborn:ok.... i'm out of here.. bye
[09:12] <ppibburr> rootborn: you try the dhclient?
[09:12] <joenet> see u guys next time....
[09:12] <vincent_> Well, i am running kubuntu.. but i run apt get, to try to update the package lists, it hangs when it tries to connect to archive.ubuntu.. my internet is only 256k, and im in australia, so is it possible to either 1) find a better connection, or 2) download everything i need without using apt-gets in built downloader?
[09:13] <vincent_> sorry dgjones, i didnt want to sound rude :p
[09:13] <ke1> i just loaded 7.04 and my wireless card immediately was recognized at the top, even with wpa, but when i installed kubuntu, it went away and now when i reinstalled 7.04 my wireless card is gone and so is kubuntu. anyone have a clue about this?
[09:13] <GHz> I feel like I'm running on a 8080 processor
[09:13] <dgjones> vincent_, don't worry, a lot of people ask that, just a standard thing so people know
[09:14] <kama> is there an easier way to install 32 bit ubuntu, and get rid of my 64bit installation?
[09:14] <vincent_> ahh i see
[09:14] <ke1> anyone have a clue?
[09:15] <Madpilot> kama, you'll have to reinstall w/ 32bit
[09:15] <ppibburr> ke1: you went back to uuntu from kubuntu?
[09:15] <ke1> yes
[09:15] <ke1> tried to
[09:15] <ppibburr> how? -desktop or actual installs?
[09:16] <kama> mad - you have a keen sense of the obvious
[09:16] <ke1> reformatted my hard drive and it still won't recognize kubuntu or my network card anymore
[09:16] <kama> note my question was is there an 'easier way'
[09:16] <ppibburr> but ubuntu is up?
[09:16] <amb_> Hi at all
[09:16] <ke1> misslecommander, u have any ideas about this?
[09:16] <Madpilot> kama, I try. Sarcasm aside, far as I know there is no easier way than just reinstalling...
[09:17] <ke1> yes, ubuntu is up
[09:17] <vincent_> hey when people apt-get update, does it list the archive.ubuntu.com IP as 1.0.0.0?
[09:17] <ppibburr> kama: mad is right
[09:17] <chazco> I've given up on getting Ubuntu to work fully, so need to get windows back... is a duel-boot system the best option, or would XP with Gusty under Virtualbox be better?
[09:17] <GHz> FINE!!!
[09:17] <amb_> does someone knows something about ubuntu combined with vista
[09:17]  * GHz kicks pc
[09:17] <ppibburr> ke1: did you try the wireless hot keys?
[09:17] <jay-oh-en> how come everytime i click the shutdown button at the top right it freezes my X but i can still click things but nothing happens\
[09:17] <brubelsabs> kama: You've to regard, that every binaries are 64Bit, every libs etc.. just reinstall => it is the easiest way!
[09:17] <ke1> what are they?
[09:18] <ppibburr> ke1: err wait, desktop or laptop?
[09:18] <amb_> because i instaled ubuntu on a vista system now ubuntu works but vista because of disk crc not eaven if everything is readable
[09:18] <alfatau> hello, i've a mobility radeon 9600. two month ago i tried installing ubuntu 7.10 with compiz but graphics acceleration never worked properly neither following many tutorial to enable it, so i came back to a clean version without compiz. Now i changed the hard drive so i've to reinstall the entire system. I red there are new drivers for my graphic card released few days ago. Will i be able to finally enable compiz effects with these new drivers?
[09:18] <kama> brub - that could have just as easily been written in swahili for all I understood
[09:19] <genewitch> alfa last time i tried with ATI anything compiz and xgl and all that gave me heartburn. just so you know
[09:19] <kama> can i do it online by chance?
[09:19] <genewitch> :-)
[09:19] <brubelsabs> kama: reinstall from scratch, it is the easiest solution#
[09:19] <misslecommander> ke1: i have to read back to see what you were talking about
[09:19] <brubelsabs> when defining easiest as: with least effort
[09:19] <ppibburr> kama: everything is compiled for 64bit, 64 is not 32 so no work :)
[09:19] <ke1> thanks
[09:20] <helix_> hey what is the minimum system requirments any of you have pushed XUBUNTU on?
[09:20] <th0r> helix_  433 mhz pentium 192MB ram
[09:20] <ppibburr> though 32 aint 64 but work :)
[09:20] <kama> easiest - most noobishlky easily understood and painelss
[09:20] <amb_> hi, sonone who nows help if you need both Vista and ubuntu?
[09:20] <misslecommander> ke1: sorry i cleared my screen, i am not sure what the issue is
[09:21] <jay-oh-en> how come everytime i click the shutdown button at the top right it freezes my X but i can still click things but nothing happens im on 32 bit and have a ati 9550 card with restricted drivers installed i tried everything but nothing i tried works and yes i have looked on google PLEASE HELP
[09:21] <kama> 64 has trouble with flash
[09:21] <dgjones> helix_, 400 mhz pentium with 128Mb ram, it worked, although was a bit slow
[09:21] <prophY> i ran linux with xfce at first on a celeron 333, 64 mb ram
[09:21] <brubelsabs> kama: Yes this known, hence I'm using 32bit on a 64bit machine too.
[09:22] <Balachmar> Hi, can someone explain to me how to use launchpad for translations?
[09:22] <ppibburr> kama: as am i
[09:22] <ivone> hai
[09:22] <ivone> hai
[09:22] <ivone> hai
[09:22] <snaktt> hello
[09:22] <misslecommander> jay-oh-hen: try another bit depth like 16 or 24, another resolution mode 1024x768
[09:22] <ke1> misslecommander: i just loaded 7.04 and my wireless card immediately was recognized at the top, even with wpa, but when i installed kubuntu, it went away and now when i reinstalled 7.04 my wireless card is gone and so is kubuntu. anyone have a clue about this?i bought the 7.04 ubuntu book today and the first time i loaded it, it worked great until i loaded kubuntu. for some reason kubuntu took away my wpa is why i reformatted and started over aga
[09:22] <Balachmar> Because I would want to help to translate hardy into dutch, but I can't seem to find out how to use launchpad
[09:22] <bullgard4> What is the reason that gnome-system-monitor always consumes so much CPU time (10% on my Intel M processor)?
[09:22] <kama> any bets on if flash will get fixed during the bush administration?
[09:23] <ppibburr> hahahha
[09:23] <jay-oh-en> misslecommander, i have it formatted perfect what would that do?
[09:23] <misslecommander> ke1: does it show up in Network Settings ?
[09:23] <Balachmar> For example there are a few translations that need review, but I cannot let anyone know which of the options I prefer.
[09:23] <ke1> nope
[09:24] <amb_> does somewone knows something about driving Vista and ubuntu?
[09:24] <misslecommander> ke1: do you see something like Wireless connection ?
[09:24] <ppibburr> Tixer
[09:24] <ke1> i've even tried installing a different wireless card, the same make and model and that did not show up either. neither does a netgear wirless pcmcia card that goes with my router.
[09:24] <chazco> I've given up on getting Ubuntu to work fully, so need to get windows back... is a duel-boot system the best option (but this would involve a massive partitioning resize and lost space), or would XP with Gusty under Virtualbox be better?
[09:24] <misslecommander> ke1: you are using System/Administration/Network correct ?
[09:25] <ke1> yes
[09:25] <symtab> is there a ubuntu multimedia repository?
[09:25] <symtab> like there is debian, debian multimediat
[09:25] <GHz> maybe I should get rid of the graphical stuff
[09:25] <symtab> ?
[09:25] <dgjones> !medibuntu | symtab
[09:25] <ubotu> symtab: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[09:25] <Netwhell> bonjour a tous
[09:25] <vincent_> symtab, like a place to download music?
[09:25] <symtab> thanks
[09:26] <symtab> vincent_, yeah
[09:26] <symtab> :)))
[09:26] <GHz> like compiz-fusion, and X
[09:26] <dgjones> symtab, thats a good place to start for codecs / apps for playing dvd's etc
[09:26] <vincent_> oo sounds good sym, tell me if you find one ;)
[09:26] <misslecommander> ke1: the thing you are lookign for is "Wireless connection" when you click on Network, if "Wireless network" isnt visible, nothing i can tell you can make it work
[09:26] <vincent_> GHz: compiz-fusion, is it any good?
[09:26] <misslecommander> ke1: if you see it, you can double-click on it, to configure
[09:27] <ke1> yes, i have that
[09:27] <misslecommander> ke1: then anable it by making sure the box is checked
[09:27] <GHz> it works(better than Vistas Arrow crap) ;)
[09:27] <EADG> What file would I need to edit to change the text color during verbose bootup?
[09:27] <misslecommander> ke1: you double click , setup what your SSID and WPA are, then enable it by checking it ?
[09:27] <symtab> DGJ, ok
[09:27] <symtab> tganks
[09:28] <misslecommander> ke1: if you dotn enable it, the settings mean nothing, the system cant even talk to it
[09:28] <ke1> i tried that too. wpa does not show up at all
[09:28] <ke1> i understand
[09:28] <ke1> how do i get wpa back?
[09:29] <misslecommander> ke1: just a second
[09:29] <GHz> I can't for the life of me figure out why everything runs so damn slow >:<
[09:29] <ke1> it won't even connect with wep
[09:29] <misslecommander> ke1: you have to match it to the router, not doing that wont connect you to internet
[09:30] <ke1> my router is set to wpa
[09:30] <GHz> how do I shut down X
[09:30] <misslecommander> ke1: what is it eth0 eth1 ? or something else ?
[09:30] <ke1> i have changed it back and forth several times to no avail
[09:30] <helix_> Hey whenever I install Xubuntu on a system Live CD or Alt Install I get an ATA EMask error at start up and can't seem to diagnose the problem
[09:31] <misslecommander> GHZ power button corner, or press Ctrl Alt Del and select
[09:31] <ke1> ath0 & wlan0
[09:31] <helix_> it's driving me crazy as it slows boot times to up to three minutes
[09:31] <helix_> gets stuck and throws me a numerical sequence about emask ata errors
[09:31] <t94xr> ath0 wlan0 are Wireless Network ports
[09:31] <GHz> select what?
[09:31] <misslecommander> ke1: ok wlan0 ?
[09:31] <ke1> yes
[09:31] <misslecommander> ok
[09:32] <t94xr> eth0 eth1 eth# are network ports - cable, cat5/cat6 and such
[09:32] <ke1> wlan0:avahi
[09:32] <misslecommander> ok that will work, seeing avahi i know your ip is something like 169
[09:33] <ke1> yes

[09:33] <graft> anyone have good recommendations on free alternatives to powerpoint?
[09:33] <ke1> network tools says the interface does not exist when i try to configure it
[09:33] <GHz> it has log out, Lock Screen, switch user, Suspend, Hibernate, Restart, and shut down

[09:34] <yon> hey guys, for some reason i cant get my mic to work on skype, wen i talk i hear myself in the speakers but on skype no one can hear me, what can be the problem?
[09:34] <GHz> and cancel
[09:34] <chazco> I've decided a duel-boot is the best way to get windows back... is there a quick non-destructive way to repartition?
[09:35] <ke1> i have no problem with reformatting again, but each time I have, i never get it to recognize my card again even after swapping out cards. and it does not show kubuntu either as an option to load via synaptic
[09:35] <ke1> why would it not reload kubuntu?
[09:35] <vincent_> does anyone know why, when i try to update, it returns archive.ubuntu as having an IP of 1.0.0.0, but when i ping it it has a true IP?
[09:36] <ke1> anyone know of a ubuntu guru in ks i can speak with tomorrow?
[09:36] <Tm_T> ke1: ks?
[09:36] <ke1> kansas
[09:36] <grigora> What can I use on Ubuntu to support Tag3v2 tagging for mp3s? Thanks
[09:37] <Tomcat_> grigora: tagtool
[09:38] <magnetron> there's a bunch of possible tools, grigora. check the "sound and video" category in Applications > Add/Remove
[09:39] <misslecommander_> Real Player is gone, that was its last straw to pull
[09:39] <misslecommander_> ke1: give me a sed
[09:39] <ke1> k
[09:39] <ke1> thanks man
[09:41] <GHz> misslecommander you be illin', that does not do what I want which is to not be in a windowed system
[09:41] <misslecommander_> GHz: what was that ?
[09:41] <ke1> btw, i did get kubuntu back with updating to 7.04 through the network
[09:41] <misslecommander_> ke1: look at this fill in the info and open Terminal
[09:42] <misslecommander_> ke1: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53000/
[09:42] <ke1> does anyone NOT like kubuntu?
[09:42] <bdancer> anyone runs warcraft2 in dosemu? how to configure sound in dosemu?
[09:42] <GHz> I want no more of X period
[09:42] <misslecommander_> ke1: check that pastebin
[09:42] <jfr> Can someone please look at my error when installing bugzilla on ubuntu? It looks like a pretty common error, but I have no idea on how to solve it. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52997/
[09:43] <misslecommander_> ke1: you have to type it just as t is, the quotes and all, just fill in your SSID
[09:43] <EcoBlue> I don't like KDE
[09:43] <JDLimbo> try gnome
[09:43] <EcoBlue> so that answers your question ke1
[09:43] <EcoBlue> JDLimbo: I'm running that now
[09:43] <ke1> not yet
[09:44] <misslecommander_> how hard is it to switch over to KDE ? that require another install ?
[09:44] <ke1> i am glad to have kubuntu back, but i still need wpa
[09:44] <rekon> vincent_ sorry for the late reply...but have you tried checking out these threads on ubuntu forums? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53354&highlight=apt-get+1.0.0.0  and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=60223&highlight=apt-get+1.0.0.0
[09:44] <GHz> I am pissed off at the slowness, in windows xp I can watch video from youtube, on firefox. in ubuntu I can't
[09:44] <ke1> yes, you go to synaptic and look up kubuntu-desktop and install it from there.
[09:44] <EcoBlue> GHz: got the graphics drivers
[09:45] <GHz> what do you mean?
[09:45] <EcoBlue> okay, what graphics card you got?
[09:45] <ke1> u catch that missle?
[09:46] <misslecommander_> ke1: that is set for open routers, it may work on WPA. if you set your WPA and SSID within Network Settings then just do > sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[09:46] <GHz> nvidia geforce fx 5200
[09:46] <misslecommander_> ke1: yes
[09:46] <EcoBlue> GHz: did you enable the drivers
[09:46] <brubelsabs> In FHS 2.3 there is the naming convention for /usr/share/man on page 24, but Ubuntu 7.10 doesn't follow this. Why?
[09:46] <EcoBlue> GHz: system > admin > restricted drivers
[09:47] <EcoBlue> brubelsabs: FHS 2.3 is what?
[09:47] <misslecommander_> ke1: after that do > sudu dhclient           if it doesnt work the first way, but you still need to set your SSID and pass method
[09:47] <GHz> yeah I got those
[09:47] <ke1> so, without seeing wpa as an option, go ahead and run that first command and then the second one u just now gave?
[09:47] <drkat> Question: I removed the lower panel in my desktop and I want programs to minimize to the top panel - how do I configure that?
[09:47] <EcoBlue> GHz: okay that's the extent of my knowledge
[09:47] <drkat> using gnome - sorry
[09:47] <brubelsabs> EcoBlue: Filesystem Hierachy Standard
[09:48] <brubelsabs> and even 4.04 claimed to be FHS 2.3 compliant
[09:48] <GHz> what does that have to do with anything?
[09:48] <misslecommander_> ke1: i would think if the card is enabled, you get root access > sudu -i      then type > sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart         if everything as already been setup
[09:48] <ke1> i don't have wpa as an option right now, so you're saying to run those two commands and i will get them back? my router is already set to wpa
[09:49] <ke1> k, i will try that
[09:49] <GHz> I'm going to windows this suxorz
[09:49] <misslecommander_> ke1: setup what you need it Network Settings. then do both them if need be
[09:50] <simmerz> GHz: what are you trying to do?
[09:50] <brubelsabs> e.g.: /usr/share/man/it.ISO8859-1 should be named: /usr/share/man/it_IT.88591
[09:51] <GHz> I'm trying to be productive(watch youtube videos, chat in irssi, etc.)
[09:51] <simmerz> GHz: so where is the problem?
[09:51]  * simmerz wonders how watching YouTube videos is productive
[09:52] <GHz> it's better than sleeping all day
[09:52] <misslecommander_> ke1: editing the conf file is hard to explain in easy terms.
[09:52] <DEAD_ZOMBIE> it depends on what are you watcing
[09:52] <simmerz> GHz: still not exactly productive, but that's my view and not what we're discussing here. so what doesn't work? examples?
[09:54] <GHz> every thing becomes greyed when I try to watch a youtube video, and also when I do other things like bring  up system monitor
[09:54] <DEAD_ZOMBIE> i think i need a ubuntu cd firs for checking if it works
[09:55] <misslecommander> ke1: i have Gnome and Firefox issues, i will post to pastebins, and you have to figure it out for yourself
[09:55] <DEAD_ZOMBIE> try kosheen
[09:55] <ikonia> n
[09:55] <ikonia> oops
[09:56] <DEAD_ZOMBIE> but with high quality speakers and high wolume.
[09:56] <misslecommander> i am about ready to make use of this partition , and put it to good use, good windows use, in which i have no issues, i spend more time fixing and typing root pass than anything
[09:56] <genewitch> does anyone know what repo i have to add to get the devel packages for the stuff i have installed?
[09:56] <GHz> maybe I should downgrade to an old copy of red hat that I have
[09:56] <misslecommander> all of them
[09:56] <genewitch> like kernel devel and xf86-devel
[09:56] <erUSUL> genewitch: they are on the same repo
[09:56] <ikonia> genewitch they are in the same repo
[09:57] <chazco> Anyone here syncing a PocketPC with Windows on Virtualbox (gusty host)? If so... how did you do it? :)
[09:57] <genewitch> what's the linux kernel package called then, cause make xconfig is failing
[09:57] <chazco> Having one last attempt at keeping just Ubuntu
[09:57] <EcoBlue> I got a palm to sync like that
[09:57] <EcoBlue> I downloaded the non-OSE version of vbox
[09:57] <ikonia> chazco: I've not done it, but as I recall you hav eto do it over virtual USB, as things like bluetooth couldn't be emmulated
[09:57] <chazco> Trying it currently, it was detected the first time and wont connect any more
[09:57] <EcoBlue> then used the USB host controller to select it
[09:57] <ikonia> genewitch: thats probably QT your missing
[09:57] <EcoBlue> and then installed the drivers and it worked
[09:58] <coolbhavi> How to import contacts in kopete?
[09:58] <chazco> I've noticed the lack of bluetooth (try passing a bluetooth USB adapter through is interesting)...
[09:58] <chazco> EcoBlue - pretty much what i tried, it wont work anymore :(
[09:58] <ikonia> genewitch: if you can't figure out the dependencies for the kernel interface, then ask your self should you be really messing with the kernel
[09:58] <EcoBlue> chazco: that sucks
[09:58] <coolbhavi> I have a hotmail and a gmail address book
[09:58] <ikonia> chazco: I think it's just a bug in the emmulation
[09:58] <brubelsabs> no one could tell if 7.10 is FHS 2.3 compliant?
[09:58] <chazco> They're the final few reasons why Im having troubles with Ubuntu
[09:58] <ikonia> chazco: there is a thrad on the fourm, but I'm sure it's burried
[09:58] <misslecommander> ke1: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53003/        and       http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52994/
[09:58] <ikonia> brubelsabs: no, it's not
[09:58] <erUSUL> genewitch: make xconfig needs qt devel libs
[09:59] <misslecommander> sorry but you are on your own, you can figure it out with those.
[09:59] <achadwick> genewitch: packages related to your kernel: COLUMNS=300 dpkg -l "*`uname -r`*"
[09:59] <chazco> Cant sync PocketPC, cant sync phone, keyboard issues... thats it really, but still highly annoying
[09:59] <chazco> ikonia - I've probably read every thread about synce and virtualbox now :D
[09:59] <ikonia> chazco: I remember reading this, but I've never experienced/used it myself
[09:59] <brubelsabs> ikonia: and any standard below 2.3?
[09:59] <DEAD_ZOMBIE> what is wirtual box?
[10:00] <user11_011> how do we see shared folders under places->network
[10:00] <misslecommander> ubuntu will soon find its way to the trashbin
[10:00] <chazco> Whats odd is that Windows (vbox) detects the device, but wont start it... its like it doesnt have enough permissions (it does)
[10:00] <ikonia> brubelsabs: I don't think it's officially signed off, but I think it's very close
[10:00] <misslecommander> anyone suggest the most stable linux ?
[10:00] <ikonia> misslecommander: ubuntu is one of the most stable
[10:00] <DEAD_ZOMBIE> may be bill needs more money?
[10:00] <tot_to-drummond> ubuntu misslecommander
[10:00] <misslecommander> not only am i sick of typing root pass's but the crash every hour is sickening
[10:00] <genewitch> ah the image is being updated right now
[10:00] <genewitch> i'll grab the headers after
[10:01] <brubelsabs> ikonia: I want to write manpages... but I don't know where to put those in /usr/share/man/de_DE or just /usr/share/man/de
[10:01] <GHz> the one I keep hearing is good, is gentoo
[10:01] <ikonia> misslecommander: if you can't figure out how to configure not typing roots password, it's good that it prompts you to do so for your own safter
[10:01] <chazco> Ubuntu still has too many crashes for a Linux distro, but it isnt bad (and i dont think most of them are Ubuntu itselfs problem though)
[10:01] <ppibburr> Tixer: how goes with the usb live?
[10:01] <ikonia> chazco: exactly
[10:01] <icesword> misslecommander, what u mean?
[10:01] <misslecommander> if this is the best then i dont even know i will put my time into it, i am fed up with the constant crashes, from day 1, it did the same thing, i cant even get anything done, before it dies, that is sad
[10:01] <ikonia> misslecommander: ok, great. Thanks for trying.
[10:01] <rekon> lol
[10:02] <misslecommander> i dont mind helping others, only because i went through the same things, and i managed to get around the issues, but its constant
[10:02] <misslecommander> not the place to say this i know, please excuse me
[10:03] <user11_011> how do we see shared folders under places->network
[10:03] <chazco> I'm hoping a simple PS2->usb adapter will solve the keyboard issue... then all i need is for either the phone or the PPC to sync
[10:03] <DEAD_ZOMBIE> knopppix is best .
[10:03] <misslecommander> i will sit here an wait for it to die, when that happens the partition is getting owned my mr microsoft
[10:03] <DEAD_ZOMBIE> i still saerching for better distro but still knoppix is best for me
[10:03]  * GHz agrees with misslecommander
[10:04] <snaktt> Hi im wondering if annyone can help me with an issue im having. i dont know what caused it bar updating around 8 packages yesterday. When i booted up today i cant use Xclient script as the session. gdm plays the intro sound and then restarts. any ideas?

[10:04] <misslecommander> ikonia: you all have been of so much help, there are alot of smart people with tons of knowledge in here. i thank you
[10:04] <DEAD_ZOMBIE> anyway i still didnt check ubuntu .
[10:04] <genewitch> lol compared to gentoo ubuntu is amazing
[10:05] <chazco> Anyone know how to get documents to display the same as they would on MS Windows + Office... I'm using Textmaker 2006, which does resonable, but they still dont match up. Oddly, installing the MS fonts makes it worse...
[10:05] <erUSUL> snaktt: did you installed your graphic drivers manually?
[10:05] <DEAD_ZOMBIE> yeah gentoo is slow. but i dont know about ubuntu.
[10:05] <ikonia> DEAD_ZOMBIE: pelase don't talk nonsense and rubbish products you clearly don't understand. This is an ubuntu support channel, for ubuntu support discussion only
[10:05] <snaktt> yes but is has been working since
[10:06] <erUSUL> snaktt: you have to reinstall them becouse the xserver update messed up with the installation
[10:06] <snaktt> i use nvidia drivers
[10:06] <snaktt> ok thanks
[10:07] <snaktt> erUSUL: if it dosen't work ill be back :D thanks for the help erUSUL
[10:07] <naranha> is this a known bug? i want to use ntpd to update my local time. i select a ntp server in the date properties, but it does not do anything at all... if i use ntpdate manually it works just fine.
[10:07] <ikonia> naranha is ntpd running ?
[10:07] <naranha> yes
[10:08] <ikonia> naranha: I've had this issue with ubuntu 6.06 in the past, let me see if I have my notebook with me
[10:08] <naranha> it's just that the gui frontend is not working, i'm using gutsy
[10:08] <erUSUL> snaktt: no problem ;)
[10:08] <ikonia> naranha: I'm not aware of a gui for ntp - so that bit I can't help on
[10:08] <ppibburr> made another build of my livesystem, off to test, later folks
[10:09] <naranha> well it's just the normal date properties integrated in ubuntu, where you can select the time manually or use ntpd synchronization
[10:10] <naranha> the "synchronize now" button is greyed out too
[10:10] <naranha> grayed
[10:10] <ikonia> naranha: do you have ntp servers configured for ntpd ?
[10:10] <dameat> Hey everyone - I'm having trouble keeping a noisy ide hard drive spun down using hdparm -y (even when it isn't mounted) - anyone have any suggestions on how to debug?
[10:11] <naranha> sec
[10:11] <rekon> naranha: mine is the same way, if I choose manual then the synchronize button becomes available
[10:11] <vladuz976> anybody here live in Japan? I am wondering if there are routers around that have english documentation.
[10:11] <naranha> ah thx that seems to work
[10:12] <naranha> i guess i just press synchronize now every now and then
[10:12] <genewitch> should be able to do it in rc.d
[10:12] <genewitch> right?
[10:13] <genewitch> forgive me if that made no sense i am about to fall asleep
[10:13] <genewitch> set it on boot and then have it as part of an hourly cron job or whatever
[10:13]  * syc_ mohon pamid
[10:13]  * syc_ wassalamualaikum wr wb
[10:13] <ke1> thanks misslecommander, but that did not help get my wpa option back. any other ideas?
[10:14] <naranha> sure, just that i was hoping to make it work just using the gui ;)
[10:14] <genewitch> let me get ntpd installed
[10:14] <genewitch> and i'll check it out
[10:14] <genewitch> i have an ntp server on my network
[10:14] <vladuz976> is there a japanese ubuntu channel?
[10:14] <naranha> no it's allright, I don't want to do it manually
[10:15] <naranha> thanks
[10:15] <genewitch> no i meant let me see what the gui does on my machine
[10:15] <portablejim> Could someone help my with Jack Sense. I have a Azalia sound card but I cannot fins a jack sense option.
[10:15] <naranha> ah allright, go ahead ;)

[10:22] <Oli``> brizben: through flash?

[10:24] <brizben> Oli``, thanks btw I use www.google.com/linux for searching :-)
[10:24] <bullgard4> What is the command line command for 'Enlightened Sound Daemon'?
[10:25] <KOXAKI> Thanks, i have a problem while instaling ubuntu. I have downloaded 7.10 newest version, burned and tried to install. When i select to install ubuntu, it starts doing something but nothing appears on the monitor. He turns off and start flashig. Nothings going on ? ??
[10:25] <Oli``> bullgard4:  esd?
[10:26] <bullgard4> RedShift: "detlef@MD97600:~$ man esd; No manual entry for esd."
[10:26] <bullgard4> Oli``: "detlef@MD97600:~$ man esd; No manual entry for esd."
[10:27] <Oli``> bullgard4: doesn't mean the command doesn't exist - only that you don't have the documentation for it
[10:27] <genewitch> which esd
[10:27] <genewitch> ;-)
[10:27] <icesword> hi, KOXAKI ,you may need to check your cd
[10:27] <Oli``> hm, my esd
[10:28] <Oli``> >_< ignore that ^
[10:28] <rekon> bullgard4: after I did apt-get install esound, the command esd and man esd becomes available
[10:28] <bullgard4> rekon: What is Gnome's default sound server?
[10:28] <DEAD_ZOMBIE> who knows.
[10:29] <KOXAKI> icesword i checked many times i burnet it @ 4x speed
[10:29] <zoom_> alsa i think depending of your sound card i suppose
[10:29] <Oli``> KOXAKI: have you tried it in safe graphics mode?
[10:29] <rekon> bullgard4: I honestly have no idea. I am a noob
[10:29] <bullgard4> rekon: ok.
[10:29] <chintan> hello chennal
[10:29] <KOXAKI> yes i tried, it do the same, monitor flashes :/
[10:30] <Oli``> chintan: enough of the greetings - this is a support channel
[10:30] <icesword> KOXAKI, after you press install ,did it have a "press esc for verbose mode or something?
[10:31] <spdf> KOXAKI, What kind of graphics card?
[10:31] <KOXAKI> hmm no, it has 2 lines something writen at the bottom of the monitor and then it turns off
[10:31] <KOXAKI> Nvidia inno3d geforce 8500gt 512mb

[10:32] <KOXAKI> isnt this link for booting live cd ?
[10:32] <pecisk> is there gui for managing gnupg stuff? Seahorse has its own configuration, but lot of apps depends on gpg
[10:33] <Oli``> KOXAKI: you're trying to boot the LiveCD to get to install, aren't you?
[10:33] <spdf> KOXAKI, Are you using a dvi or vga cable?
[10:34] <KOXAKI> i downloaded the instalation cd, 64bit
[10:35] <selig5> Is fiesty still supported?
[10:36] <Oli``> selig5: yes
[10:36] <spdf> KOXAKI, Does your monitor just go into standby mode? Does numlock still turn off and on?
[10:38] <Oli``> KOXAKI: the isntall cd *IS* the same as the LiveCD. You get booted into the Live environment before you install, so I suggest you have a go at using the VESA graphics driver (as explained in that last link I posted)... Other than that, I'd probably suggest you gave the 32bit version a go.
[10:38] <KOXAKI> spdf: the keyboard is doing well, just the monitor goes at standby
[10:39] <Kazuhiro> Hi all
[10:39] <KOXAKI> Oli``: ill follow the link you gave me, and i will also download 32bit version

[10:48] <brk3> Oli``: nethogs works greath when specifying the interface. it was trying to use my lan instead of wireless. thanks for the help :)
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[10:49] <Oli``> Bauldrick_: have you read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=252465 ?
[10:49] <pvh_sa|wrk> heya... i'm trying to install edubuntu on a machine whose SATA-RAID controller is not recognised by the 7.10 install CD... is there any way i can load the relevant driver into the installer's kernel (e.g. by having it on a CD and loading the module 'on the fly' ?)
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> pvh_sa|wrk, what sata chip do youuse
[10:50] <Oli``> pvh_sa|wrk: is it detecting any disks? are they in raid already? is it "fake" software raid?
[10:51] <Oli``> pvh_sa|wrk: if you answered yes to those questions, you should be able to install dmraid while in the livecd without needing to restart
[10:51] <Oli``> pvh_sa|wrk: as seen here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[10:52] <pvh_sa|wrk> Oli``, it detects two individual drives, instead of a single raid volume. this is a on-motherboard raid controller
[10:53] <Oli``> pvh_sa|wrk: yeah that's FAKERAID =) follow the link above and it should (probably, depending on the chipset) work well
[11:00] <chefle> Hi all, I have a question concerning Dapper Drake, here: 6.06.2 LTS
[11:00] <Oli``> !ask | chefle
[11:00] <ubotu> chefle: 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. :-)
[11:01] <chefle> Q: When I installed, it was 6.06, do I have to do anything to get to 6.06.2? I regularly do apt-get update/upgrade.
[11:02] <cafuego> chefle: You'll be on 6.0.2 already then
[11:02] <pvh_sa|wrk> Oli``, i kind of get it... seems it'll help to have a livecd (i.e. normal ubuntu) - can that do the dmraid thing from there, and install packages from edubuntu on top of that installation :P
[11:02] <chefle> Oktanouc_, thxanks
[11:02] <cafuego> Eh, 6.06.2
[11:02] <chefle> Oktanouc_, thanks
[11:03] <Oli``> pvh_sa|wrk: doesn't edubuntu have a livecd that you can apt-get with?
[11:03] <pvh_sa|wrk> Oli``, i'll look around, but the  server version isn't that

[11:09] <erUSUL> ganesh: first the root will be (hd0,4) not (hd0,5) and you suould change the UUID on the kernel lines (find out the new uuid with «blkid» )
[11:09] <erUSUL> ganesh: hd0 becouse is your first disk right?
[11:09] <NET||abuse> bazhang, already bought?? that was quick.. what a week ago?

[11:13] <ganesh> erUSUL, how to change the UUID of the kernel line
[11:14] <bullgard4> rekon: Thank you very much.
[11:15] <rekon> ganesh, erUSUL has told you how to edit the menu.lst file. Are you asking how to find the new UUID number for your drive if it has changed?
[11:15] <ganesh> rekon, im asking
[11:15] <erUSUL> ganesh: you find the new uid with uuid with «blkid» command and search and replace it
[11:16] <NET||abuse> haha, screw you market watch,, "sun mysql deal stinks" the markets are down 10% in 2 days, and sun has remained boyant.. how does that look then eh?

[11:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about swe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:16] <rekon> erUSUL, ha thanks for that command. I've been using ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid all of this time :(
[11:17] <ganesh> erUSUL, after finding the UUID kernel where to replace
[11:17] <wheehat> If /proc is on a sepearate partition does it have to be as large as the system memory to hold /prob/kcore?
[11:18] <erUSUL> rekon: well i find ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid easier than blkid but
[11:18] <erUSUL> !uuid
[11:18] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[11:18] <Gnine> you got fan control issues if acpi is faulty
[11:18] <Gnine> or, worst
[11:18] <erUSUL> ganesh: on the kernel lines on /boot/grub/menu.lst... if you have opened the file it will be obvious to you
[11:19] <ganesh> erUSUL, ok
[11:19] <zk> hello...has anyone used Ophcrack? :)
[11:19] <erUSUL> ganesh: this lines kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=ee465ea1-394d-4dd2-a5f9-a35567176c40 ro single
[11:19] <ganesh> erUSUL, ha
[11:19] <erUSUL> ganesh: see? root=UUID=uuid_of_your_partition
[11:20] <ganesh> erUSUL, ok
[11:20] <NET||abuse> ooh,, didn't realize that market watch article was dvorak
[11:20] <erUSUL> ganesh: you have to change this lines too root            (hd0,1) becouse now your grub root is (hd0,4) and not (hd0,5)
[11:21] <erUSUL> ganesh: it is clear now? (btw (hd0,1) is *my* grub root partition
[11:21] <erUSUL> )
[11:21] <ganesh> erUSUL, i am getting one doubt
[11:22] <erUSUL> ganesh: ask
[11:22] <ganesh> erUSUL, this will show the (hd0,4) grub menu.lst
[11:22] <ganesh> erUSUL, im i corerect
[11:23] <ganesh> erUSUL, i want to update the menu.lst of my current partition
[11:23] <erUSUL> ganesh: depends on how you installed grub
[11:23] <chimp> is there a hotkey in the terminal you can press that will return control of the terminal to you without closing the program?
[11:23] <erUSUL> ganesh: when you install grub you ususally spicify a root partition (see man grub-install)
[11:24] <chimp> ie if i've done gedit and dont want to close gedit before using that terminal again
[11:24] <erUSUL> chimp: Crtl+Z ?
[11:24] <erUSUL> chimp: or jut open a new tab or terminal
[11:25] <chimp> ctrl-z seems to work thanks
[11:25] <bullgard4> What is Gnome's default sound server?
[11:26] <ganesh> erUSUL, actually i copied the live cd filesystem in one partition , now i want to make that partition is the latest
[11:26] <chimp> wait no ctrl-z buggers the program running
[11:26] <ganesh> erUSUL, if i do manual i am able to do
[11:26] <cafuego> hit ^z first, the type 'bg' to run it in the background
[11:27] <chimp> ta
[11:27] <cafuego> and 'fg' to bring it back to the foreground.
[11:27] <chimp> woo thats perfect
[11:27] <chimp> thanks
[11:27] <Guillem> Xephyr does not have any GLX visual in my system (despite of showing GLX extension at xdpyinfo). Is this normal??? (nvidia proprietary drivers here)
[11:27] <cafuego> fg take a param if you've backgrounde dmultiple jobs; type `jobs' for a list.
[11:28] <Xintruder> hi

[11:29] <erUSUL> ganesh: why didn't you installed normally?
[11:32] <rekon> bullgard4, I don't think there is a default one, I've read a little bit and checked the settings on my gnome desktop and most of the options are detect automatically. OSS and Alsa are both available for me to use.

[11:34] <bazhang> that should read welcome home :}
[11:34] <bullgard4> rekon: So it depends on the hardware what Ubuntu 7.10 will use as its sound server?
[11:34] <G__> does someone know how to do an network installation of ubuntu ?? :-?
[11:34] <ghostm55> bazhang: hi there!
[11:34] <ubuntu> it's possible to download and install apps with the livecd ? (And keep it between each boot :) )
[11:35] <ubuntu> save it on harddisk ?
[11:35] <bazhang> hiya ghostm55
[11:35] <ubuntu> without make partition ?

[11:36] <bazhang> !minimal | G__
[11:36] <ubotu> G__: 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
[11:37] <rekon> bullgard4 From my system I have the option to use OSS, Alsa, or ESD with my one sound device.

[11:38] <Gnine> OSS/ALSA are readily available choices
[11:38] <Gnine> !sound
[11:38] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

Synaptics describes the 'esound' package as: "Enlightened Sound Daemon - Support binaries." So I conclude that on my machine there is a part of Enlightened Sound Daemon already installed but some support binaries are missing. Why does Ubuntu 7.10 not install these support binaries by defaul

[11:54] <dgjones> monTree, http://www.ubuntu.com/news/lts-6.06.2 sounds like its just an updated install cd for the LTS version
[11:55] <bullgard4> rekon: Can find a process 'esd' in System > Administration > Gnome system monitor > Processes?
[11:55] <monTree> why make update, just skip and go to 7.x. oh well, i guess sometimes things are not as simple in corp. and business.

[12:08] <xsfr> gksudo nu-something
[12:09] <terminal_dude> anybody please ?
[12:09] <aspin65100> hi all, got my ubuntu disk today
[12:09] <bytecode> VSpike: I fiend that help() and then modiules does fgive a list of modules, but that there is some kind of API error warning "warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)"
[12:09] <aspin65100> I keep getting out of range errors with my monitor though
[12:09] <aspin65100> I have tried everything

[12:11] <bytecode> terminal_dude: you need to google around for a package that provides the library " libssl0.9.7" that you need.  once that is installed, then you can (hopefully) install the package that uses it
[12:11] <marco_pt> hi all :)
[12:11] <bullgard4> rekon: What do you mean by " the speaker in your tray"? Do you mean the Gnome Volume Control Applet v.2.20.0? What do you mean by "your tray"?
[12:11] <xsfr> what's the terminal command to open a sudo file manager?(something like gksudo naturolis)
[12:11] <bytecode> Vspike: that sounds totally random
[12:11] <ikonia> xsfr: you want to open a file as root in a text editor ?
[12:11] <brubelsab1> howto get the file which accommodates the manpage for e.g. `man ls`?
[12:11] <xsfr> no

[12:15] <Joe_> I have two GPUs, GeForce 6200 and Quadro NVS280.  For some reason Xorg.0.log says the Quadro is incompatible and therefore GLX support is turned off on it... could that cause hard locks randomly while running things like VLC or firefox on that card?
[12:15] <marco_pt> ikonia, kile spell checker config is at kcontrol center :\
[12:15] <ikonia> Joe_: the quadro needs different drivers as I recall
[12:15] <ikonia> marco_pt: file spell checker ? for what ?
[12:15] <Joe_> I checked, both(according to Nvidia) are supported by 169.07

[12:16] <bytecode> Vspike: I find it strange that you can't instantiate a module binding for introspection without it kicking into full operation  though - surely that's not flexible practice.  It'd be like the equivalent of  rm --help telling you what it does and then deleting all of your files "just because" you'd referenced it.  I'd love to compare behaviour further, except that I can't get 3D or compiz running on my ATI RV380 [Radeon X600] under dual

[12:17] <Joe_> ikonia, Arima_souichirou I've been trying to debug this hard lock issue for weeks... and if this is really the cause then I can easily switch which GPU my monitors are connected in(so I can keep the layout I like) and just not move certian apps to the other windows

[12:23] <nomad111> oh ok
[12:24] <kitche> nomad111: use the restricted driver manager instead

[12:32] <kbrosnan> tim168: try pressing ctrl + H on your desktop
[12:32] <mavi-> tim168: then type "df -h" and see if its more space
[12:32] <anton_> How do i get my kubuntu to use my VIA drivers? I could write a command in terminal, right?

[12:34] <nemilar> I don't like mondays.  I don't like tuesdays, either.
[12:34] <glaxo> VSpike: many thanks, I will attempt to work this into my solution.
[12:34] <Javid> shift+delete = dead
[12:34] <Javid> that's skip recycle, delete
[12:34] <VSpike> glaxo: the difference was, mine could be mounted by the user
[12:34] <VSpike> glaxo: maybe that's the key?
[12:34] <Pici> tim168: There is a problem when deleting files that are on other mountpoints from Nautilus, sometimes they get stuck into a .Trash folder on that volume.  I think this will be fixed in the next Gnome release.
[12:34] <blue42> Hello, how do i get my DVD drive to burn CDs and DVDs ? it reads everything but wont burn. it's a pioneer dvd-wr dvr-112d.

[12:35] <nemilar> Pici: yeah, that's a really annoying bug
[12:35] <tim168> Pici so i should look in ~/.Trash or something ?
[12:35] <kitche> blue42: install a cd burning application and for dvds you would need growisofs to burn them
[12:35] <mahmoud_> tim168: what was the file location?
[12:35] <Dr_willis> look in the root directory of the media.  not your home dir
[12:35] <nemilar> tim168: what he's saying is not only is there a ~/.trash but there's also trash directories on your other mounts
[12:35] <tim168> mahmoud_ the file was in my home folder
[12:35] <Pici> nemilar: Exactly.
[12:36] <nemilar> Pici: most. annoying. bug.  ever.
[12:36] <mahmoud_> tim168: then it should be gone .. try restarting and check again
[12:36] <blue42> kitche: yeah i've got gnomebaker and brasero - i think it maybe a hardware issue?

[12:38] <kitche> blue42: yes myself I always set up a burning group which I add users to that can burn cds/dvds
[12:38] <chazco> Is Ubuntu 7.04 still available from ubuntu? I've given up on Gusty :(
[12:39] <nemilar> chazco: I'm sure you can find an iso of it

[12:39] <bazhang> http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/
[12:39] <chazco> Ah, found it (the srerver i tried wasnt answering)
[12:40] <blue42> How do you set up a burning group?
[12:40] <chazco> Is it possible to use the 7.10 restricted nvidia driver on .04? I
[12:41] <bazhang> dont expect support if you do chazco
[12:41] <VSpike> glaxo: the creds file was owned by the user, and the mount point was too.. and the user would issue the mount command
[12:41] <chazco> Thats the trouble I have... Gusty breaks keyboard + web... 7.04 doesnt like my graphics card... nothing likes my PocketPc or phone...
[12:41] <nemilar> blue42: you mean, a group that has permissions to burn CDs?
[12:41] <Javid> expecting support is a long shot no matter what
[12:41] <ikonia> chazco: lets put things into context
[12:42] <ikonia> chazco: nothing likes your ppc or phone - well no, your using an emmulator, that's not meant to be used how your using it
[12:42] <ikonia> chazco: how does gutsy break "keyboard and web"
[12:42] <blue42> yeah but it's just me who uses the computer
[12:42] <chazco> I tried using synce - the PDA hard resets.... The Samsung will only allow me to dialout
[12:42] <nemilar> blue42: so why do you need a group, then?
[12:43] <naxa> hi! i've problem mounting cifs. i do "sudo mount -t cifs //server/shared /mnt/server/shared -o user=xxx,password=xxx" but it gives the "wrong fs type, etc." error
[12:43] <chazco> The keyboard doesnt respond till i do a replug (but dmesg shows it as being fine)... the web wont let me work on the uni intranet without changed tcp_window_scaling...
[12:43] <naxa> all directory exists
[12:43] <ikonia> naxa: smbfs ?
[12:43] <glaxo> VSpike: that's interesting, my creds file was owned by the user as was the mount point. however I did not try doing "mount -a" as opposed to "sudo mount -a"
[12:43] <kitche> nemilar: umm I suggested the group
[12:43] <ikonia> naxa: do you have cifs module loaded ?
[12:43] <naxa> ikonia, smbfs cannot handle hungarian chars, and is very old...
[12:43] <chazco> The web issue i've managed to work-round by adding some commands to the boot scripts... the other ive had no luck. Bought a PS2/USB converter which didnt help.
[12:43] <naxa> ikonia, lsmod says so
[12:43] <blue42> well maybe i just need the permission to burn then - that's what i want to do
[12:43] <naxa> ikonia, also, tabbing //server/ works
[12:44] <ikonia> naxa: sounds a good start then, try mounting it as smbfs to make sure
[12:44] <nemilar> blue42: you're trying to burn but you're getting Permission errors?
[12:44] <blue42> no i'm getting burn failed notices
[12:44] <Daremonai> is there a way to do something under linux as a different user: ex: I want to edit a file in /home/user2 but its only accessable by user2 (not even root) is there a way to run the program as user2, kinda like sudo, but just as user2 not as root?
[12:45] <nemilar> blue42: does the burn start at all, or does it fail before it begins?
[12:45] <chazco> Will my v4l-dvb (custom compiled) drivers stand much chance of working on 7.04?
[12:45] <Daremonai> i know i could chown it, but i don't want to change the ownership.
[12:45] <nemilar> Daremonai: "su" is the switch user command
[12:45] <blue42> yeah it does start
[12:45] <naxa> ikonia, it gives the same wrong fs type error
[12:45] <Daremonai> ah nemilar i thuogh su = super user hehe :) thanks
[12:45] <nemilar> Daremonai: "su bob" will switch user to bob...obviously you have to know bob's password.  Or you could switch to root and then to bob.
[12:45] <ikonia> naxa: is't being shared out ok ?
[12:45] <naxa> ikonia, pardon?
[12:46] <Lsi_> Daremonai: su user2 -c command!
[12:46] <ikonia> naxa: is the share being shared out via samba ok ?
[12:46] <Daremonai> Lsi_ Thanks
[12:46] <Daremonai> nemilar: thanks
[12:46] <nemilar> sure thing
[12:46] <blue42> Nemilar: it does start but i get a failure notice at the end.
[12:46] <naxa> ikonia, i'm not sure if i understand you, but smbfs fails as well...
[12:46] <BlackAlex> i have an issue on my tower... i have three cd-rom drives but when ubuntu gutsy wants my disk inserted, its not able to see it..
[12:46] <nemilar> blue42: what program are you using?  is there any more specific error?  are you sure the media is good?
[12:46] <ikonia> naxa: you are trying to mount a remote machine, yes / no ?
[12:46] <naxa> ikonia, but it's a SAMBA share
[12:46] <Javid> how would I take a screenshot of my screensaver?
[12:47] <naxa> ikonia, yes
[12:47] <laughzilla_> hi all :)  is there a fix for viewing the latest version of flash via ubuntu ?
[12:47] <ikonia> naxa: and that's my question are you sure the remote machine is sharing the device out ok ?
[12:47] <naxa> ikonia, so you mean if the server is ok or not? good question, it used to be ok all day for ages, it's the school server
[12:47] <BlackAlex> laughzilla - i got flash working fine with ubuntu gutsy ?
[12:47] <ikonia> naxa: check it out
[12:47] <mavi-> naxa: try do "smbclient -L ip.to.share"
[12:48] <naxa> ikonia, ok
[12:48] <BlackAlex> is there a problem people are having with adobe flash?
[12:48] <mavi-> naxa: that will list all shares, then you know if it can connect
[12:48] <blue42> nemilar: i posted the readout from gnomebaker on the forum - i'll post the link
[12:48] <naxa> ikonia, how can i check the ip? i don't know
[12:48] <ikonia> BlackAlex the flash package is broke ?
[12:48] <BlackAlex> uh.
[12:48] <ikonia> naxa: I'm not talking about checking the IP. Contact your network admin and make sure that share is still available
[12:48] <nemilar> a lot of people seemed to be having flash problems in the past few days
[12:48] <naxa> ikonia, i see...
[12:48] <naxa> mavi-, i can see all the share folders...
[12:49] <nemilar> I woke up today with a huge gash on my arm, and I'm _sure_ I didn't go to sleep with it
[12:49] <BlackAlex> i got it working somehow...
[12:49] <BlackAlex> anyhow any ideas on how to get my cdrom drive to be detected by ubuntu so it can be used?
[12:49] <BlackAlex> i have three cd rom drives and i think they are conflicting somehow...
[12:50] <nemilar> BlackAlex: does your dmesg show them all detected
[12:50] <nemilar> ?
[12:50] <BlackAlex> yeah they are all detected just fine...
[12:50] <BlackAlex> its moreover when ubuntu needs the ubuntu disk
[12:50] <BlackAlex> its not finding it for some reason.
[12:50] <nemilar> BlackAlex: you mean when you try to install a package from CD-Rom or something?
[12:50] <BlackAlex> yeah
[12:50] <nemilar> hmm
[12:51] <nemilar> Did you try it in all 3 drives?  maybe it's not searching all the mountpoints
[12:51] <IdleOne> BlackAlex: solve that issue by removing the cd deb line from /etc/apt/sources.list you do not need it
[12:51] <nemilar> yeah, that would be a better solution if you have broadband
[12:51] <nemilar> although not really a "solution" per say
[12:51] <chazco> Anyone any idea on why my USB keyboard doesnt work (usually) without being unplugged/replugged?
[12:51] <IdleOne> BlackAlex: when done editing that file make sure to save it and the sudo apt-get update
[12:51] <BlackAlex> i have dsl
[12:52] <BlackAlex> i dont mind downloading packages tho...
[12:52] <spyder89> ive got a good one who can help
[12:52] <IdleOne> !ask | spyder89
[12:52] <ubotu> spyder89: 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. :-)
[12:52] <laughzilla_> blackalex - ubuntu gutsy ?  is that something i install via synaptic ?
[12:52] <spyder89> ok
[12:53] <marl> hi folks, im trying to find tcpsvd or tcpserver for ubuntu edgy, but cant find ether package anyware :( anyone got any pointers to a repo for these packages?
[12:53] <nemilar> BlackAlex: oh, yeah, then you should update over the net rather than CD
[12:54] <spyder89> Anyone know why when I connect to my Dell Poweredge Console I get no gui?  I am running Ubuntu Server 7.10 64bit with Ubuntu-desktop gui.  It gets to the login screen point and I loose the monitor connection.
[12:54] <BlackAlex> nemilar... uhm.. no.  Ubuntu Gutsy is like a distro update.
[12:55] <erudified> Hey guys, does anyone know how to completely remove gnome-panel from my session? I've taken a shine to kiba-dock
[12:55] <laughzilla_> blackalex  - so i can't install it via synaptic in ubuntu 7.10 ?
[12:55] <IdleOne> !gutsy | nemilar
[12:55] <ubotu> nemilar: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Gutsy:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - New Features: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/710tour - Please use bittorrent to download if possible, see !torrents
[12:55] <nemilar> BlackAlex: I thought you just wanted to install some packages, my bad
[12:55] <jrib> spyder89: does hitting the space bar bring it back?
[12:55] <BlackAlex> its ok.
[12:55] <spyder89> i have not tried that I will though
[12:55] <erudified> I really hope AMD gets around to fixing the ATI drivers before hardy is released... the new ones are a huge step backwards
[12:55] <laughzilla_> thx for the gutsy links
[12:56] <jrib> spyder89: that happens to me, must be some strange bug
[12:56] <laughzilla_> but i have 7.10 installed and flash doesn't work
[12:56] <CraZy675> what is the command to install LAMP?
[12:56] <laughzilla_> i can see up to flash 7, not flash 9
[12:56] <IdleOne> !flash | laughzilla_
[12:56] <ubotu> laughzilla_: 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
[12:56] <BlackAlex> IdleOne: thanks for that little fix...
[12:56] <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.
[12:56] <laughzilla_> thanks! :) :)
[12:57] <blue42> nemilar: here is the link to the burning issue and the gnomebaker readout is there: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673640
[12:57] <IdleOne> BlackAlex: not a fix exactly . more like a " avoiding the issue" :)
[12:57] <BlackAlex> 1.5 mbps internet... not too shabby...
[12:57] <BlackAlex> true.
[12:57] <erudified> I get like 1mbps from my cable modem... pretty sucky, really
[12:58] <naxa> ikonia, mavi- maybe you are right, much of the server is not functioning
[12:58] <Lsi> mmm ..24mb/s :)
[12:59] <naxa> ikonia, mavi- I'm not sure where is the admin right now but possibly i want to find him anyway
[12:59] <erudified> Does anyone know how to completely remove gnome-panel from my session?
[12:59] <medfly> i got this laptop i found somewhere... it came with a detachable floppy disk thing. i want to use it on my desktop. i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do, since i don't think i'm seeing anything related on dmesg
[12:59] <medfly> it connects by a big thing like a printer.
[13:00] <BlackAlex> IdleOne: well heres whats going on though - i got cdromx (4 of them) in my media folder... they arent mounting inside the /cdrom/ drive as ubuntu is trying to find it there ..
[13:00] <MrMist> Hey guys
[13:01] <MrMist> I need to check the file consistency on a disk... fsck tuned the disk somewhat, and I need to check that everything is as it should. How do I do it ?
[13:01] <nemilar> blue42: are you duel booting?  it looks like it could be hardware
[13:01] <kitche> blue42: it seems like it's having a hard time closing he session on the cds
[13:01] <[blackb]> hi all
[13:02] <blue42> no i'm not duel booting
[13:02] <tmann102> is anyone familiar with virtual box?
[13:02] <[blackb]> sameone know about an nfs bug with new kernel's version?
[13:02] <tl_> q
[13:02] <tl_> quit
[13:02] <erudified> tmann102, <3 virtualbox
[13:02] <[blackb]> incompatibility with 100Mb o 1000Gb etherneth and other ethernet most slowly
[13:02] <[blackb]> like 10Mb/s ?
[13:03] <BlackAlex> lol!
[13:03] <tmann102> erudified: why can't i boot xp? it stops @fter i select format ntfs quick
[13:03]  * BlackAlex notes to himself (dont ever right click 50 songs and open up in a movie player :o)
[13:03] <nemilar> blue42: the drive has always worked before, or is it a new drive?
[13:04] <blue42> nemilar and kitche could it be related to not connecting it correctly - the last DVD drive burnt out
[13:04] <mp_spyder89> space bar does not bring it back
[13:04] <erudified> tmann102, Bad media? I've install XP/Vista/2000/2k3 with no issues
[13:04] <tmann102> darn!
[13:05] <tmann102> well, i don't think its bad media, since i installed it on two other machines
[13:05] <tmann102> as the only os
[13:05] <mp_spyder89> jrib space bar did not bring back the gui
[13:05] <[blackb]> wich parameter must put in sysctl.conf?
[13:05] <blue42> nemilar: it's a reasonably new drive but i haven't been able to get it to burn
[13:05] <erudified> tmann102, were you using a cd-rom? try making an iso of the cd and installing from that
[13:05] <tmann102> k
[13:05] <tmann102> yes i was using a cdrom
[13:05] <tmann102> *no dvd drive*
[13:06] <kitche> [blackb]: for what there are tons?
[13:06] <nemilar> blue42: if it hasn't burned a single disk sucessfully, I'd say it might be a hardware error
[13:06] <tmann102> i'm computer amish.
[13:06] <MrMist> Anyone? How do I do a file consistency check on a ext3 partition ?
[13:06] <erudified> maybe some ATAPI bug, then, did you enable the 'send raw ata commands' option?
[13:06] <nemilar> blue42: I've had that error come up before on a brand new drive, I RMA'd it and my replacement worked fine
[13:06] <kitche> MrMist: kinda hard unless you have a checksum for all the files on your drive
[13:06] <chazco> Anyone able to help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4184280 (USB keyboard issue)?
[13:06] <tmann102> erudified: how do i do that?
[13:07] <MrMist> kitche: Hmm... and there's no such thing in the ext3 journal ?
[13:07] <jrib> mp_spyder89: is the graphical login screen the thing that is not showing?  Or is it the tty logins (ctrl-alt-f1)?  or both?
[13:07] <blue42> nemilar- so the drive might be faulty? what's RMA'd it?
[13:07] <kitche> MrMist: nope unless you want to do a fsck
[13:07] <erudified> it's in the VM options somewhere
[13:07] <MrMist> I've already run a fsck... but isn't that more like a physical disk test?
[13:07] <[blackb]> kitche i have an ubuntu with last vkernel  i have a 10/100Mb/s ethernet good configured it speack with an ethern thet goes only at 10Mb/s
[13:08] <nemilar> blue42: return merchandise authorization..basically I returned the drive and got a new one
[13:08] <tmann102> erudified: somewhere. right. be back in an hour, right after i find it.
[13:08] <[blackb]> but the nfs goes slowly
[13:08] <MrMist> kitche: I've already run a fsck... but isn't that more like a physical disk test? I need to know if the files were kept in place when fsck fixed the drive
[13:08] <erudified> Uhhh, cry my a river ;)
[13:08] <kitche> [blackb]: man ifconfig it tells you how tos witch but nfs is slow usually anyways
[13:08] <[blackb]> a lot slowly
[13:08] <tmann102> erudifide: lo
[13:08] <tmann102> l
[13:08] <nemilar> blue42: if there's another machine you could put it in to test it, you could try that
[13:08] <medfly> i got this detachable floppy device thing, its connected by a printer-like thing, big one, how do i mount the floppy inside it?
[13:08] <blue42> OK i better look for the reciept- thanks for your help
[13:08] <[blackb]> MTU abount my ethernet is 1500
[13:09] <[blackb]> i try with 1000 or 1492
[13:09] <[blackb]> but the same thing apppen
[13:09] <bullgard4> "detlef@MD97600:~$ ps -A | grep esd" produces no output. "detlef@MD97600:~$ ps aux | grep esd" produces: "detlef   19921  0.0  0.1 2984 764 pts/1 R+ 13:56  0:00 grep esd". What is the essential difference between both commands?
[13:09] <nemilar> blue42: yeah, sorry about that...you could also check the IDE cable, swap in a new one...it's rare but sometimes they have faults, too
[13:09] <kitche> [blackb]: touching MTU is not a good idea really
[13:09] <tmann102> has anyone elses' computer been made much much faster by ubuntu gutsy gibbon?
[13:09] <mp_spyder89> the graphical login screen
[13:09] <[blackb]> the 2 ethernet speaks with UDP protocol
[13:09] <dhude> yeah, Tm_T
[13:09] <jrib> mp_spyder89: and you can login at the tty's fine then?
[13:09] <dhude> tmann102: I mean
[13:10] <[blackb]> what i can do?
[13:10] <kitche> bullgard4: man ps and it tells you what the ux is used for
[13:10] <mp_spyder89> how do you login in at the tty's?
[13:10] <jrib> mp_spyder89: ctrl-alt-f1
[13:10] <Linuxishawt> I'm installing using the minimal iso and I want to install gnome, do you know if I can change my sources to point to a live-cd and just insert the cd instead of having to download all the packages?
[13:10] <tmann102> its awesome, dhude
[13:10] <laughzilla_> blackalex  - i checked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#head-7be182bbefefd03501502a1763c4abb55b29d424  and it says that flash is installable via gutsy gibbon on amd64 boxes ... i'm on an old pentium box
[13:10] <blue42> Thanks nemilar - i might try it on another machine
[13:10] <mp_spyder89> let me see
[13:10] <nemilar> blue42: hope everything works out for you
[13:10] <laughzilla_> will the apt-get install still work on a pentium 4 box, blackalex ?
[13:11] <tmann102> can someone tell me why gpart and qtparted both stop on "searching for devices"
[13:11] <mp_spyder89> when should i hit ctrl-alt-f1
[13:11] <BlackAlex> laughzilla_ are you still asking about flash?
[13:12] <kitche> mp_spyder89: when the gdm loads up
[13:12] <mp_spyder89> ok
[13:12] <laughzilla_> blackalex - yes because the help page doesn't tell me how to install it on this kind of box
[13:12] <AmirB> Hey guys. As much as I'm sorry to have to do it, I have to delete Ubuntu from my computer. I'm giving it away and the new owner doesn't want linux :(. Anyways, I'm dual booting Ubuntu and Vista and was wondering how I go about deleting Ubuntu. Do I just delete the partition? I've heard some bad things about that...so how do I go about doing this oh so vexing task?
[13:12] <laughzilla_> blackalex anyway i'm trying the apt-get in case it works.
[13:12] <mavi-> AmirB: just delete the partition
[13:12] <erudified> that'll leave you unbootable
[13:13] <mavi-> AmirB: you will need to fix the MBR to and remove grub
[13:13] <AmirB> ya, that's what I heard
[13:13] <BlackAlex> heres what i would do if i were you , but someone may bitch about me for saying this : goto www.adobe.com and download the source code for flash and build that into your distro
[13:13] <erudified> restore the Vista bootloader, then delete the partition and format it as NTFS
[13:13] <laughzilla_> nope, it says i have the latest version, no upgrade made to my flash, blackalex.
[13:13] <AmirB> how do I do that erudified?
[13:13] <mavi-> what ever order you do it in doesnt matter
[13:13] <erudified> I don't know, ask in #Windows
[13:13] <BlackAlex> then yoou should be setup laughzilla ?
[13:13] <mavi-> as long as you dont turn off the computer in between
[13:14] <AmirB> what's MBR?
[13:14] <Pici> AmirB: Master Boot Record.
[13:14] <BlackAlex> AmirB Master Boot Record
[13:14] <erudified> The part of your hard drive the holds grub or lilo or the windows bootloader
[13:14] <AmirB> aha, and how do I "fix" it?
[13:14] <BlackAlex> AmirB which boot loader are you using?
[13:14] <AmirB> grub
[13:15] <OwlNoob> Hi all.
[13:15] <AmirB> *That's what you meant, right?*
[13:15] <BlackAlex> run "sudo grub-install" and see if that works for you...
[13:15] <BlackAlex> should re-install grub to your mbr
[13:15] <Pici> BlackAlex: He wants to remove linux.
[13:15] <ZeroA4> AmirB, if you are giving the computer away... just delete all partitions (including windows ) and reinstall windows
[13:15] <OwlNoob> I think my server has encourtered an intrusion, but I am not sure how bad it is...
[13:16] <chris062689> Hello people.
[13:16] <mp_spyder89> no i cannot login at the tty's the screen goes black after a bunch of text
[13:16] <AmirB> I don't feel like doing that, and he doesn't mind getting the installed version of windows I already have on. Are you saying it's so complicated to delete ubuntu that it's more worth it to completely format the computer?!
[13:16] <OwlNoob> My net stat shows hundred hof lines like this : tcp        0      0 sd-xxxx.dedibox.fr:www  webnix1.albacom.n:20378 SYN_RECV   root       0          - ... but I don't get the meaning of it or don't know how to get rid of it.
[13:16] <BlackAlex> oh then.... AmirB which windows distro are you running?
[13:16] <BlackAlex> lol
[13:16] <AmirB> vista
[13:17] <AmirB> lol
[13:17] <BlackAlex> do you have your windows vista cd/dvd handy?
[13:17] <AmirB> should be around here somewhere...
[13:17] <ZeroA4> AmirB, I think it is the easyest way...
[13:17] <florians> hi
[13:17] <florians> someone here?
[13:17] <erudified> OwlNoob, that's a portscan
[13:17] <white_eagle> hello, how can I choose which device should manage the sound?
[13:18] <BlackAlex> use your cd/dvd to get and click RECOVERY, select your windows vista partition, and then select "Fix Startup"
[13:18] <erudified> Once your box has been compromised it's pretty much impossible to trust it again
[13:18] <BlackAlex> doing that process will rebuilds vista bootloader.
[13:18] <liljekrans> Jep
[13:18] <BlackAlex> while it says you are using an invalid bootloader and blah blah ;)
[13:18] <OwlNoob> erudified: does this mean my box has been comprimised or is this just an attempt?
[13:18] <AmirB> blackalex, ok, and then I can just delete the ubuntu partition?
[13:18] <erudified> yeah that means you've been pwnt
[13:19] <AmirB> oh, and do I do that in windows?
[13:19] <erudified> portscans are running from your machine
[13:19] <BlackAlex> AmirB, see if you can boot into vista
[13:19] <BlackAlex> and then INSIDE vista, delete your ubuntu partition
[13:19] <OwlNoob> erudified: Nice!
[13:19] <BlackAlex> just to make sure you have an OS to boot into ;)
[13:19] <erudified> OwlNoob, first class security ;)
[13:20] <erudified> It was probably a brute force ssh "penetration"
[13:20] <erudified> hehehehe "penetration"
[13:20] <carlitos> oi tudo bem?
[13:20] <florians> Hi Guys! Just need a native speaker for a simple question...if anyone has time pls send me a message!!! thanks!
[13:20] <BlackAlex> i migrated from vista to ubuntu though... finally got all my applicatiojns i coded from .net into java
[13:20] <carlitos> alguen tuga aki
[13:20] <white_eagle> I have multiple audio cards, how can I choose what device should manage it???
[13:20] <carlitos> ?,,,,,,?
[13:20] <white_eagle> .....
[13:20] <medfly> florians, how about you ask your bloody question
[13:20] <AmirB> ok, so let me get this straight: first I boot into vista, from there I insert my vista cd and tell it to recover the boot thingy, once that's done I restart and make sure I can still boot into vista and from there I can delete the ubuntu partition?
[13:20] <OwlNoob> erudified:  it looks that it uses www-data user to launch the script?
[13:20] <Pici> carlitos: language?
[13:20] <kitche> florians: hmm native speaker we are all native speakers in one language or another
[13:20] <mavi-> AmirB: yeah, that sounds great
[13:21] <CrashTest_> I am so hosed.  My computer locked up during dist-upgrade to 7.10, now I can't seem to clean or upgrade.

[13:21] <ubotu> carlitos: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[13:21] <carlitos> obrigado pessoal
[13:21] <BlackAlex> AmirB -  boot into your cd/dvd before you boot into windows
[13:21] <medfly> florians, ask it in here
[13:21] <erudified> OwlNoob, well, on the upside that means they may not have root
[13:21] <kirkgo> Some people is a part of Ubuntu MOTU?
[13:21] <AmirB> alright, thanks! oh, and one last question, the RECOVERY thing doesn't damage any of my files or anything, right? It'll just change some system files?
[13:21] <white_eagle> I have multiple audio cards, how can I choose what device should manage it???
[13:22] <AmirB> aah, boot into my vista cd. thanks, didn't know that
[13:22] <ikonia> white_eagle: point things at the correct /dev/$file
[13:22] <BlackAlex> if you do the FIRST OPTION (fix startup) it doesnt touch your system (the way vista is setup)... it repairs the BOOT folder in vista...
[13:22] <carlitos> #ubuntu-pt
[13:22] <BlackAlex> and restores your mbr
[13:22] <CrazyWulf> My maximize/minimize/close buttons are missing from my windows.    How do I get them back?
[13:22] <white_eagle> ikonia, ??
[13:22] <OwlNoob> erudified:  misendurstanding : does this netstat line show the user using the process?
[13:22] <AmirB> thanks so much!
[13:22] <nemilar> CrazyWulf: did you change your theme or something?
[13:22] <jrib> mp_spyder89: what happens when you try to login at the tty's?  Are those screens black as well?
[13:22] <laughzilla_> yes blackalex i realize it should be setup now, however it's not, so i'm trying to troubleshoot it ... anyway thanks :)
[13:22] <florians> ok the question is not directly related to ubuntu. I have to find a title for my work. It's about how Rijndael became AES. I named the work "The Evolution of Rijndael to AES" and wanted to know if this is correct english, or if there are better ways to express it
[13:22] <BlackAlex> no prob AmirB
[13:23] <erudified> OwlNoob, ps aux will
[13:23] <white_eagle> !offtopic | florians
[13:23] <ubotu> florians: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[13:23] <CrazyWulf> No it's set on default right now.
[13:23] <AmirB> now I must go and do the unhinkable...delete ubuntu in favor of vista :(
[13:23] <AmirB> wish me luck!
[13:23] <erudified> It's hard to say, really - you can't trust the output of any executable on your machine now
[13:23] <BlackAlex> *traitor*
[13:23] <nemilar> CrazyWulf: and changing your theme doesn't help?
[13:23] <CrazyWulf> I looked at the different themes but changed it bacxk
[13:23] <AmirB> lol
[13:23] <erudified> It's almost like running windows ;)
[13:23] <bardun> how about "How Rijndael evolved into AES".. although i'm not a native speaker either
[13:23] <medfly> florians, ##english i guess
[13:24] <CrazyWulf> No
[13:24] <OwlNoob> is portmap a suspicious process?
[13:24] <florians> thanks for your help...!
[13:24] <MrFeetio> where can I find a distro tailored to the eee-pc?
[13:24] <CrashTest_> So, is there some way to force a fresh start from my package-management system?  Some way to go back to an older state?
[13:25] <nemilar> can we start a petition for the workday to start at like, noon, instead of 9AM? please?
[13:25] <AmirB> bubye
[13:25] <erudified> nemilar, go into business for yourself ;)
[13:25] <suenner> "/mode suenner +x"
[13:25] <kitche> OwlNoob: nope but processes can be trojaned
[13:25] <erudified> nemilar, although you'll probably end up like me, getting up at 5am instead of 9
[13:25] <nemilar> erudified: haha, but I need my health insurance
[13:25] <nemilar> erudified: with everything I have to do before work, I wind up getting up at 6
[13:27] <aleprof> I have a problem with external monitor of my laptop: the resolution is the right one, but panels and menu are drawn as if my monitor where 1024x768 (that is, my laptop's size, not external monitor's one). So, menu and panels are in the middle of my screen. Anyone got same problem?
[13:27] <kirkgo> Some ubuntu developer here?
[13:27] <tdn> How do I get my network to work automatically at bootup?
[13:27] <erudified> aleprof, are you using MergedFB ?
[13:27] <OwlNoob> erudified: kitche : anyone of you kind enough to check this? http://pastebin.com/mb77c45d I don't see anything weird at first sight
[13:28] <tdn> I would like to use /etc/network/interfaces instead of NetworkManager. How do I do this?
[13:28] <tomg> tdn uninstall network manager....
[13:28] <tdn> tomg, I did, and now my network does not come up!
[13:29] <BlackAlex> nemilar you still around?
[13:29] <tdn> tomg, only if I manually run dhclient, it comes up.
[13:29] <CrazyWulf> Any ideas on how to get my buttons back?
[13:29] <tomg> make an initscript
[13:29] <nemilar> BlackAlex: for a few more minutes, yeah
[13:29] <erudified> tdn, did you create appropriate entries in `interfaces` ? man interfaces is helpful
[13:29] <Daremonai> how do i stream titles to a shoutcast server (I use xmms)?
[13:29] <vlt> Hello. A few days ago I was looking for an audio player that can fade out the current track when (manually) skipping to the next one. If anyone is interested: There's a crossfade output plugin for XMMS(1) and its fork Audacious available where you can set fade durations exactly. It works fine.
[13:29] <chazco> Anyone know how to use USB pass-through with a PocketPC on Gusty+VirtualBox?
[13:29] <kitche> OwlNoob: do a ps aux just want tos ee if Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus gets outputted again
[13:29] <BlackAlex> nemilar - i looked at what ubuntu does and its not necessarily broke.. it checks specifically the /cdrom/ folder... and the linky to /media/cdrom
[13:30] <tdn> erudified, yes. I did. But it ignores them. When I run dhclient manually, it creates two new network devices, eth2 and eth3 instead of using the eth0 and eth1 I define in the interfaces file.
[13:30] <medfly> how do i mount a floppy from a detachable floppy drive?
[13:30] <erudified> dhclient doesn't make network devices
[13:30] <BlackAlex> for some reason the update manager isnt able to check through all my cdrom drives... hmm
[13:30] <BlackAlex> just because it isnt configured.
[13:30] <erudified> it just runs a dhcp client on one you specify... can you pastebin your interfaces file?
[13:30] <OwlNoob> kitche: ps aux => no warning (this was ps faux)
[13:30] <CrazyWulf> I'm not entirely sure when they disapeared but it could have been when I installed the kubuntu-desktop?
[13:31] <erudified> and the ouput of ifconfig -a too
[13:31] <CrazyWulf> I just want my buttons back :(
[13:31] <OwlNoob> kitche: ps -faux ('-') actually
[13:31] <kitche> OwlNoob: ok yeah ps doesn't use - for it's options
[13:32] <tdn> erudified, any other ideas?
[13:32] <tdn> erudified, ifup and ifdown does not work either.
[13:32] <CrazyWulf> Any ideas on how to get my minimize/maximize/close buttons back?
[13:33] <tdn> ifup says: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device. What to do?
[13:33] <erudified> Yeah dude your interfaces file isn't set up right... use pastebin.ca and paste the output of ifconfig -a and /etc/network/interfaces
[13:34] <ortodox> hey all please help me,i have intalled ubuntu server with norwegian keyboard layout...but i have english keyboard can someone tell me how to change this to english by command?

[13:34] <tdn> erudified, that should be right.
[13:34] <tdn> erudified, I cannot use a pastebin, because I does not have network access to the box.

[13:38] <robert44ht5> hello, I am fairly new to ubuntu and need some help with my restricted driver instalation. it is for my Nvidia driver set. when I installed it last week, it made my screen go black and I had to re-install from scratch. Is there a way to revert back to my current drivers if it locks me up again? I did a backup, but those files will only be accesable inside of ubuntu. I did not see how to burn a backup that wont take a bunch of cd's.
[13:38] <tuitu> somebody can help me?
[13:40] <BlueBoysBlues> good morning everybody
[13:40] <Webu> Morning :)
[13:40] <robert44ht5> morning

[13:41] <robert44ht5> well, so far i see alot of joiners and leavers... and no help....   hhmm? is this a live help chat forum?

[13:42] <tdn> erudified, it does NOT work.
[13:42] <tdn> erudified, and why should it? Because I just told you that /etc/network/interfaces are ignored?
[13:42] <tuitu> my ubuntu is reseting to the login place without my execution
[13:42] <robert44ht5> kitche, thanks... i was just wondering.
[13:43] <robert44ht5> good luck!

[13:45] <Gunrun> "sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-common_*.deb" With this command can someone explain to me what the dpkg -i bit does?
[13:45] <erudified> tdn, it'd work great if you had interfaces set up properly ;)
[13:45] <tdn> erudified, no. It would not.
[13:45] <ortodox> ubuntu server change keyboard layout!!! PLEASE HELP!!!
[13:46] <erudified> tdn, I guess I'm just imagining the hundreds of times I've set this up successfully
[13:46] <kitche> Gunrun: dpkg -i means install package using dpkg
[13:47] <Gunrun> ah
[13:47] <freezey> i got an issue with apache on ubuntu... on numerous occasions when i initially try to access something it says files does not exist.. but when i reload the browser a few times something then pops up
[13:47] <Gunrun> so would double clicking the package work just as well?
[13:47] <Gunrun> these instructions are for someone else, who isn't too savy with command lines
[13:47] <kitche> Gunrun: yes if you have the frontend for dpkg installed
[13:47] <erudified> tdn, if your interfaces file contains what you say it does, the only explanation for it not working is 1.) it's a wireless card and you didn't define a station id and/or 2.) it's just the wrong interface
[13:47] <tdn> erudified, I do not doubt that it has been working for you, but I tell you that my problem is that /etc/network/interfaces is ignored. I have also set up a decent number os machines, and I know how to create the interfaces file.
[13:47] <Gunrun> well is it installed by default?
[13:47] <kitche> Gunrun: which is installed by default
[13:47] <mp_spyder89> how do you message a peticular person on this?  say i wanted to leave the message on here but specific to someone
[13:47] <Gunrun> right
[13:48] <ppibburr> anyone know how to get sound working from a debootstrap build?
[13:48] <tdn> erudified, there is not wireless devices in the box.
[13:48] <Gunrun> ok, thankyou

[14:20] <benny269> oddalot: ok done, next step?
[14:20] <oddalot> everything should be ready by default...like i was saying
[14:20] <oddalot> ok...now go to search in the main window
[14:20] <benny269> oddalot: compiz?
[14:20] <oddalot> and search for compiz
[14:21] <benny269> oddalot: got a bunch of options
[14:21] <oddalot> install compizconfig-settings-manager
[14:21] <benny269> anything else?
[14:21] <oddalot> that should be it
[14:22] <oddalot> did you install 7.10
[14:22] <oddalot> ?
[14:22] <idyllic> emerald-theme also
[14:22] <idyllic> if you want windows border
[14:22] <benny269> 7.10 yes. what's a windows border?
[14:22] <bullgard4> jrib: 'man ps' is a novel speaking about three different standards and no explantion of how to use the command. Please tell me what do you mean by "one does not list the arguments so the grep is seen as "grep""? Can you please say that in other words. I did not understand that.
[14:22] <oddalot> next do what idyllic says
[14:22] <stephans> cups printer sharing stopped working all of a sudden... I have 2 other machines where the printer shows up ok but print jobs never get there...

 is this an error? : D[22/Jan/2008:14:26:57 +0000] cupsdNetIFUpdate: "eth0" = fe80::230:1bff:fe80:d686%eth0...
 there are lots of lines like that in that file
[14:29] <oddalot> oh cool
[14:29] <oddalot> it gave me a bunch of new ones
[14:29] <kitche> Pie-rate: well the lastest flasgh doesn't have the .xpt file anymore
[14:29] <LjL> tribaldata, no, the motd is static. it's rebuilt at each boot (and even then, there is no clean way to insert commands in it)
[14:29] <kitche> flash*
[14:29] <benny269> why is mine not working/
[14:29] <oddalot> you clicked on the repositories thingy
[14:29] <chazco> Anyone know if its possible to sync a Samsung F700 with Ubuntu? I've tried OpenSync + SyncML but had no luck, and am having problems with Virtualbox...
[14:29] <oddalot> and a window popped up?
[14:29] <AmirB> hey guys, remember me?
[14:29] <erUSUL> stephans: if it is on the error log it may be but i have no clue on what the error is... you can googl the error string
[14:29] <LjL> tribaldata: you can certainly edit your .bashrc and have it output things on login though
[14:30] <benny269> repositories tab and clicked on both fetch buttons
[14:30] <oddalot> oh wait
[14:30] <oddalot> it says you need subversion insalled
[14:30] <oddalot> ok...hold on
[14:30] <Pie-rate> AmirB: there are more than 1200 people in this room. people join and leave literally every second. we don't remember you.
[14:30] <AmirB> ok, ok, sorry
[14:30] <Pie-rate> AmirB: =P
[14:31] <oddalot> benny, go back to the synaptic package manager
[14:31] <oddalot> and search for subversion
[14:31] <oddalot> and install it
[14:31] <AmirB> there were some people on before who were helping me, and what they suggested didn't work, so I was trying to see if they were still here
[14:31] <Pie-rate> Pici: why can't the broken package at least be removed from the repo?
[14:31] <benny269> whats difference between synaptic and add/remove?
[14:31] <Pie-rate> Pici: if they can't fix it?
[14:32] <Frikkie> hello
[14:32] <oddalot> where is the add/remove?
[14:32] <LjL> benny269: add/remove is more user friendly but shows only GUI applications
[14:32] <LjL> orsomething
[14:32] <Frikkie> I have 1 or 2 problems... anyone willing to help noob out?
[14:32] <Pici> Pie-rate: I dont know.  I'm not on that side of the development process.
[14:32] <Richard_Balls> Frikkie, just ask
[14:32] <Frikkie> Okay.
[14:32] <bazhang> ask away Frikkie
[14:32] <benny269> i see thank you
[14:32] <oddalot> add remove is for newbs
[14:32] <Frikkie> I am running a clean new install.
[14:33] <oddalot> frikkie what is the problem?
[14:33] <benny269> that would be me!
[14:33] <bazhang> gutsy Frikkie?
[14:33] <oddalot> benny...use synaptic....and you will not be a noob
[14:33] <ubuntuisloved> morning
[14:33] <Frikkie> When I try to run the music player, it sais: Cannot initialise scheduler. Did you initialise gst-register?
[14:33] <AmirB> I want to delete Ubuntu from my Ubuntu/Vista dual boot system, and some guys earlier said to boot into my vista cd and select to recover the bootup of vista, and then when I deleted the Ubuntu partition it shouldn't give me problems, but when I booted into my cd it told me that it found no problems with the bootup system!
[14:34] <AmirB> what should I do from here?
[14:34] <bazhang> benny269: at some point you might want to learn some command line as well; it really is much faster and intuitive as well :}
[14:34] <medfly> er you should look for a way to install the vista bootloader or edit your grub config
[14:34] <ubuntuisloved> AmirB: is grub still visiable
[14:34] <AmirB> yes it is
[14:34] <benny269> bazhang: I wish, I did a bit of simple basic and java coding but CLI makes no sense to me
[14:34] <bazhang> AmirB: you plan on reinstalling ubuntu; or using windows only
[14:35] <ubuntuisloved> AmirB: do you care about windows
[14:35] <AmirB> I don't care much for windows, but I'm giving my machine away and the new owner doesn't want ubuntu
[14:35] <benny269> oddalot: fetching now pops up a little scanning window but then disappears and nothing new has appeared under themes?
[14:35] <ubuntuisloved> AmirB: if not just reinstall vista and delete all partitiions or you can rewrite the mbr for vista
[14:35] <AmirB> it's unfortunate, but that is the situation
[14:35] <bloodboy> hello i need some hep here, i need to have 5 primary partitions on my hard drive, is it possible?
[14:35] <bazhang> benny269: once you learn the very basic commands for adding stuff you may not go back :}
[14:35] <ubuntuisloved> AmirB: if not just reinstall vista and delete all partitions during setup
[14:36] <inertial> AmirB: delete the ubuntu partitions and resize the vista partition
[14:36] <inertial> AmirB: vista uses ntfs right? there are plenty of tools for resizing ntfs
[14:36] <benny269> any ideas?
[14:36] <oddalot> try restarting your computer?
[14:36] <ubuntuisloved> AmirB: i wouldnt waste time resizing quicker to just reinstall vista fresh
[14:36] <AmirB> ubuntuisloved, what's an MBR and how do I rewrite it? (he wan't the vista partition as is, it's got files and programs he wants anyways)
[14:36] <ubuntuisloved> master boot record
[14:36] <bazhang> AmirB: this is more of a question for ##windows; though folks here might want to help it is not officially supported in this channel
[14:36] <benny269> ok back in 2
[14:36] <benny269> also before i go
[14:36] <benny269> how do i register a nickname
[14:37] <LjL> !register > benny269    (benny269, see the private message from Ubotu)
[14:37] <inertial> msg nickop benny269
[14:37] <benny269> so that pidging logs straight in
[14:37] <LjL> inertial: ?
[14:37] <inertial> er nickserv i meant benny269
[14:37] <AmirB> bazhang: ah, ok, that's good to know. so deleting ubuntu (without messing up grub) has more to do with windows than ubuntu?
[14:37] <Pie-rate> Pici: i don't see why adobe doesn't just release a .deb

[14:38] <bazhang> AmirB: dont believe windows uses grub :}
[14:38] <bloodboy> i accidentally installed ubuntu over my windows box, any way to get windows back?
[14:38] <bloodboy> plz help me
[14:38] <erawfish> bazhang: mine does :)
[14:38] <ubuntuisloved> it doesnt
[14:38] <Richard_Balls> Frikkie,  look around in /usr/bin/ and see what version is there
[14:39] <inertial> he could just leave grub there bazhang
[14:39] <LjL> Pie-rate, releasing "a .deb" doesn't necessarily mean it'll work on all versions of Debian, Ubuntu and whatever distribution uses .deb. many software houses prefer to let the distributions do the packaging job
[14:39] <bloodboy> i didn;t make any backup b4 installing ubuntu
[14:39] <kitche> x-X-x: if there is a security fix then it will be updated but it's probably not a security bug
[14:39] <bloodboy> is there any way to uninstall ubuntu?
[14:39] <erawfish> bloodboy: did you overwrite the windows partition with ubuntu data?
[14:39] <ubuntuisloved> bloodboy: ouch you can do a recovery on the drive
[14:39] <bloodboy> yes i did
[14:39] <kitche> x-X-x: mayeb the next version of Ubuntu will have the newer warzone
[14:39] <erawfish> then you need to reinstall
[14:39] <inertial> wow it's really a bloodbath in here...
[14:39] <x-X-x> kitche its not a security bug but a whole system crash
[14:39] <erawfish> either with the recovery CD if you have any or with the windows CD
[14:39] <bloodboy> i tought there can be 5 partitions in a disk...
[14:39] <ubuntuisloved> bloodboy: if you have important files on there you can recover them
[14:39] <bloodboy> can i get my data back?
[14:40] <mp_spyder89> how do you mount a usb device command line?
[14:40] <kitche> x-X-x: most likely it won't be updated unless there is a bug on launchpad for it
[14:40] <ubuntuisloved> bloodboy: google getdata back ntfs
[14:40] <xen_> hey having probs, i put my second gta vc cd in to install via wine, but konsol or dolphin doesnt read the files in /media/cdrom0 , help please
[14:40] <erawfish> there can be as many as you want but if a data area is overwritten it has nothing to do with how many partitions there are
[14:40] <Pie-rate> LjL: ubuntu has failed at packing, then. i'm willing to bet 70-90% of desktop users want flash installed. fixing it should be a higher priority, in my opinion.
[14:40] <benny269> ok and how do i stop that annoying "sounds of africa" login?
[14:40] <erawfish> bloodboy: have you made backups of your windows?
[14:40] <Pie-rate> benny269: prefs->sound
[14:40] <invit> SVP, YA DES FRANCAIS?
[14:40] <bloodboy> only backups of my most important files
[14:40] <LjL> !fr | invit
[14:40] <ubotu> invit: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[14:40] <bloodboy> but AHEM
[14:40] <ubuntuisloved> benny269: hey i happin to like that sound
[14:40] <erawfish> !fr | invit
[14:40] <Pie-rate> benny269: system->prefs->sound->sounds
[14:40] <bloodboy> i still want my videos..
[14:41] <erawfish> bloodboy: those you can get back. the other stuff:no
[14:41] <ubuntuisloved> bloodboy: google getdata back ntfs
[14:41] <bloodboy> u know , that find of videos
[14:41] <bloodboy> ok, kthx for the help
[14:41] <LjL> Pie-rate: perhaps, but then again it's pretty sad that the Ubuntu package has to actually fetch the tarball from the Adobe file because the license doesn't let them just package the thing.
[14:41] <Pie-rate> LjL: agreed
[14:41] <Frikkie> Richard: Thanks... that solved the probem. I am a noob... and I really want to learn. Could you please tell me shortly what running gst-register did exactly?
[14:41] <oddalot> i disabled the entire login process since it's a home computer

[14:42] <benny269> ubuntuisloved: lol apologies, its not so nice at top volume at 8am for a student after a big night out :P
[14:42] <Pie-rate> LjL: we need a lawyer to go poke adobe's lawyers a few times
[14:42] <ubuntuisloved> benny269 lol
[14:42] <xen_> i done a ls on cdrom0 but nothing is listed, wtf is going on
[14:42] <ubuntuisloved> Pie-rate: in the eye
[14:42] <LjL> Pie-rate: or we need more programmers to put efforts into Gnash and friends :)
[14:43] <Pie-rate> LjL: meh. probably never gonna be perfect. imo adobe should just opensource the thing.
[14:43] <oddalot> bahahah
[14:43] <oddalot> that will be the day
[14:43] <oddalot> then mac fanboys will have nothing left
[14:43] <Pie-rate> LjL: gnash is kind of like WINE. neither will ever be "done"
[14:43] <Frikkie> The OS is on the network... can I access files shared from windows OS?
[14:43] <mavi-> havent they already open sourced the going-to-be next version?
[14:43] <mavi-> the tangerine engine atleast
[14:44] <LjL> Pie-rate: while complicated, i'm sure Flash is still much simpler than the entire Win32 API. anyway, we've strayed way too much offtopic i fear
[14:44] <Pie-rate> LjL: although, i guess it is a lot less simple to clone flash
[14:44] <oddalot> oh
[14:44] <Pie-rate> LjL: a lot simpler*
[14:44] <oddalot> i thought you were talking about photoshop
[14:44] <de_dustyciti> Hi guys, need help on cpufreq. Intel E2160 CPU, Ubuntu 6.10 with 2.6.17-10-generic kernel (shipped with ISO), cpufreq seems not working. modprobe either speedstep-centrino or acpi-cpufreq fails with "No such device". Any one has an idea? Thanks.
[14:44] <AmirB> two last questions:
[14:45] <Richard_Balls> Frikkie, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[14:45] <AmirB> 1) Does this look good enough to rewrite the MBR (or do I need something more: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/44/master_boot_record_mbr_fix_repair
[14:45] <AmirB> 2) Do I rewrite the MBR and then delete the Ubuntu partition, or the other way around?
[14:45] <ubuntuisloved> your write
[14:45] <Frikkie> Thank you Richard... will check it out
[14:45] <ubuntuisloved> i mean right
[14:46] <Pie-rate> de_dustyciti: i don't think edgy is supported any more, which means nothing but security updates i believe. You may have better results with 7.10
[14:46] <ubuntuisloved> AmirB: i'd consult though in windows irc on that link
[14:46] <AmirB> ah, ok, your right
[14:46] <ubuntuisloved> AmirB: i'm an ubuntu user and take no responsibility on crap vista
[14:46] <AmirB> about the second question though?
[14:46] <poisonkiller> hi
[14:47] <ubuntuisloved> yea rewrite mbr then in windows disk management recover partition
[14:47] <robertj> Does anyone else have an issue where a minimal nvidia Xorg config no longer works? it used to work and during updates from official gutsy it no longer works
[14:47] <de_dustyciti> Pie-rate: I just happened to have that CD so I installed it first... is there a known kernel works with E2160 / cpufreq or I'll have to apt-get upgrade ?
[14:47] <robertj> Screen flickers alot and when I kill Xorg I never get my terminal back
[14:47] <poisonkiller> can any1 say, why Crossover menu won't install to Applications, when I install Crossover?
[14:47] <mp_spyder89> how do you mount a usb device command line?
[14:48] <rene> usually with mount
[14:48] <Pie-rate> de_dustyciti: hmm, not sure.
[14:48] <ubuntuisloved> poisonkiller: it uses its own menu under windows apps
[14:49] <benny269> oddalot: back, emerald seems to be working, borders are normalised, but i cant see any themes in the prefs though?
[14:49] <ubuntuisloved> !mount > mp_spyder89
[14:49] <oddalot> did you do the repositores
[14:49] <poisonkiller> ubuntuisloved: i mean the menu under Applications, where i can install windows programs, uninstall crossover etc.
[14:49] <ubuntuisloved> lol careful how you ask that
[14:49] <benny269> yeah i tried the same thing, still nothing, although windows are ok now
[14:49] <oddalot> hmm
[14:49] <ubuntuisloved> poisonkiller: what ver of crossover?
[14:50] <oddalot> try to get that to work, the emerald themes rock my face off
[14:50] <poisonkiller> ubuntuislover: 6.0.0
[14:50] <benny269> am i looking at the right thing? sys>prefs>emerald theme manager>themes setting tab> themes tab?
[14:50] <ubuntuisloved> yea ive got it working on feisty and gutsy
[14:50] <poisonkiller> ubuntuisloved: 6.0.0
[14:50] <inertial> is there a cli utility to stream music?
[14:51] <ubuntuisloved> yea theres a dameon
[14:51] <kitche> inertial: what do you mean by stream music you mean yourself or soemthing else
[14:51] <ubuntuisloved> trying to remember the name
[14:51] <oddalot> yeah, sounds right
[14:51] <inertial> kitche: connect to a music stream and play music
[14:51] <ubuntuisloved> mtpd or something
[14:51] <poisonkiller> ubuntuisloved: some time ago it was there, but after i reinstalled it wouldn't install there again
[14:51] <kitche> inertial: xmms2 or mplayer
[14:51] <oddalot> did you hit refresh?
[14:51] <inertial> ah yeah basic mplayer is just cli..
[14:52] <bullgard4> "detlef@MD97600:~$ ps -A | grep esd" produces no output. "detlef@MD97600:~$ ps aux | grep esd" produces: "detlef   19921  0.0  0.1 2984 764 pts/1 R+ 13:56  0:00 grep esd". What is the essential difference between both commands?
[14:52] <jrib> bullgard4: I answered this before
[14:52] <benny269> yeah ok no worries thats a minor issue, next thing is that when i login, the letters i type are HUGE! they're mostly hidden by the letterbox so i can only see a small part of what im typing. password too. do you know what i mean?
[14:53] <erUSUL> bullgard4: in the first esd was not found on the process list in the second the *grep* command was found on the process list
[14:53] <Chamwork`> hi guys, quick question.  Is there a website or forum thread that's fairly up to date that will list windows apps and nice linux alternatives, preferably for gnome?  Looking for a replacement for speed commander in windows (file manager)
[14:53] <jrib> bullgard4: and I missed your response.  In the command "grep foo", grep is your command and "foo" are your arguments
[14:53] <erUSUL> bullgard4: afaik ubuntu dos not install esd by default
[14:54] <bazhang> Chamwork`: there is a comprehensive list; I forget the link but google something like linux alt and that should give it to you
[14:54] <jrib> bullgard4: try 'ps -A | grep grep' and 'ps aux | grep grep' to see what I mean
[14:54] <benny269> oddalot? anyone?
[14:54] <Chamwork`> great, thanks bazhang
[14:55] <Chamwork`> ha
[14:55] <Chamwork`> linuxalt.com :)
[14:55] <bazhang> http://www.linuxalt.com/ is one
[14:55] <bazhang> though there is one even more complete Chamwork
[14:55] <inertial> bloody hell the birds are starting to sing...
[14:56] <hibbert> can anyone tell me if in ubuntu 8.04 is the kernel moduel for a fritz wlan stick???
[14:56] <oddalot> benny269: what was the question agaon?
[14:56] <poisonkiller> ubuntuisloved: are you there?
[14:57] <erUSUL> hibbert: lsusb will tell you the chip it uses and then you can find out if there's support
[14:57] <Frikkie> Okay cool.
[14:57] <bazhang> http://linuxappfinder.com/alternatives Chamwork`
[14:57] <benny269> yeah ok no worries thats a minor issue, next thing is that when i login, the letters i type are HUGE! they're mostly hidden by the letterbox so i can only see a small part of what im typing. oddalot: next thing is that when i login, the letters i type are HUGE! they're mostly hidden by the letterbox so i can only see a small part of what im typing. password too. do you know what i mean?
[14:57] <Chamwork`> bazhang, wow thanks!
[14:57] <hibbert> it autmaticaly worked in 7.10 but in 8.04 nothing happens
[14:57] <Frikkie> I installaed SAMBA, and created a shared folder. But now when I try to access it from Windows PC, it askes for Username+Password. Where do I set up the username and password?
[14:58] <oddalot> oh
[14:58] <kitche> hibbert: umm #ubuntu+1 for 8.04 support
[14:58] <Seith> im new to ubuntu just install and im haveing problems with the audio output jack can someone help me
[14:58] <bazhang> Chamwork`: there is one more but I cant find it atm will let you do some google fu :}
[14:58] <oddalot> just get rid of the login window
[14:58] <hibbert> thx ;)
[14:58] <mp_spyder89> any recommendations on partitioning your drive for virtual machines?  should you make separate partitions per machine or put on a big partition?
[14:58] <benny269> oddalot: brilliant how can i do that?
[14:59] <erUSUL> mp_spyder89: usually vm use disk image files
[14:59] <oddalot> use google
[14:59] <profanephobia> mp_spyder89, neither.. partitioning isnt needed for vms
[14:59] <oddalot> type like ubuntu login window
[14:59] <oddalot> or something like that
[14:59] <jrib> bullgard4: do you know how to search man pages?
[14:59] <PCHENK> hi
[14:59] <Seith> im new to ubuntu just install and im haveing problems with the audio output jack can someone help me
[14:59] <bullgard4> erUSUL: I could not find the term 'process list' in 'man ps'. --  In "ps aux | grep esd" the ps command considers 'grep' a parameter? Why is it not stpped to do so by the 'pipe' character?
[15:00] <mikebeecham> Hi guys...I have a Creative HS-300 headset, and I cannot get it to work within Ubuntu.  I have set everything to ALSA, but this makes no difference?
[15:00] <bazhang> right mp_spyder89; as profanephobia says it is not needed--they just take up file space
[15:00] <PCHENK> hi all
[15:00] <oddalot> lol, pimpzilla rocks my face off
[15:00] <LjL> bullgard4: eh? no, it definitely doesn't consider grep a parameter...
[15:00] <Chamwork`> nice!  gnome commander looks like what i need
[15:01] <erUSUL> bullgard4: no; what happens is that grep finds itself on the process list (the list ps outputs). It finds itself becouse ps outputs the parameters too so if you grep for esd a line containing "ps aux | grep esd" will match
[15:01] <ForsakenSoul> can some one help me start my system in safe grafics moda
[15:02] <bazhang> hi profanephobia!
[15:02] <ForsakenSoul> trough terminal
[15:02] <profanephobia> bazhang, hi!
[15:02] <PCHENK> hoi
[15:02] <MadHag> what is the command to start installion?
[15:02] <bytecode> Seith: Do you mean "jack" as in "Jack Audio Connection Kit" or do you mean "jack" as in the connector on the back of the soundcard?
[15:02] <MadHag> I have no gui
[15:02] <ForsakenSoul> i`m chatting from a LiveCD seem to have a installed a package that shouldn`t be there and now i doesn`t want to boot
[15:02] <benny269> oddalot: ok done, also i cannot get flash working?
[15:03] <oddalot> use opera
[15:03] <profanephobia> PCHENK, do you need help with something?
[15:03] <oddalot> it has flash built in
[15:03] <Seith> yes sorry
[15:03] <PCHENK> i am looking, are there dif rooms?
[15:03] <sheri_rao> when i tried to upgrade ubuntu gusty it took me to distro upgrade , why?
[15:04] <bullgard4> erUSUL: Ah! Understood. Thank you very much for explaining and your endurance with me.
[15:04] <bytecode> Seith: Which?
[15:04] <profanephobia> PCHENK, depends on what you need
[15:04] <sheri_rao> when i tried to upgrade ubuntu gusty it took me to distro upgrade , why?
[15:04] <erUSUL> bullgard4: no problem
[15:04] <brobostigon> oddalot: does opera on every plaform have flash buillt in, or is it just i386 opera??
[15:04] <Seith> i have a x205-s9349  jack audio on the front i will not get any sound from it if i connect to it
[15:04] <MadHag> anybody know the command to start installation?
[15:05] <Seith> but i still get sound from the speakers that are part of the labtop

[15:05] <ForsakenSoul> Whats the command to start GUI in safe grafics mode ?
[15:05] <ForsakenSoul> what`s the command to start the GUI in safe graphics mode ?

[15:06] <sheri_rao> i was trying to recieve updates for gustry
[15:06] <profanephobia> ForsakenSoul, you can start gnome in safe mode by using the options menu at the logon screen and changing the session to failsafe gnome
[15:06] <sheri_rao> profanephobia, i was trying to recieve updates for gustry
[15:06] <ForsakenSoul> profanephobia don`t get that far
[15:06] <PCHENK> test
[15:06] <ForsakenSoul> it just stops while trying to load the gui
[15:06] <profanephobia> ForsakenSoul, ok can you get to a grub menu at boot?

[15:07] <m1r> hello
[15:07] <mikebeecham> Hi guys...I have a Creative HS-300 headset, and I cannot get it to work within Ubuntu.  I have set everything to ALSA, but this makes no difference?  I cant hear anything through the headphones and the mic does not work...can anyone help?
[15:07] <ForsakenSoul> yeah
[15:07] <erUSUL> MadHag: what do you want to install?
[15:07] <bytecode> Seith: when you double click on the speaker icon in your system tray, the volume control app will appear - check that the volume slider for your headphone socket is not muted.  Also, visit the Edit-> preferences menu, and check the "Headphone Jack Sense" check box, to ensure that you can choose whether you want the speakers to automatically mute when you plug the headphones in
[15:07] <ForsakenSoul> i have normal mode and recover mode
[15:07] <PCHENK> grijs nu
[15:07] <MadHag> ok
[15:07] <Seith> same problem
[15:07] <MadHag> thanks
[15:07] <PCHENK> ik
[15:07] <ForsakenSoul> on the recover mode it doens`t boot i stops as a terminal
[15:07] <profanephobia> ForsakenSoul, ok enter the grub menu at boot and try the recovery mode
[15:07] <benny269> oddalot: i want to keep firefox, i need the extensions
[15:08] <ForsakenSoul> profenaphobia how do i enter the grub menu ?
[15:08] <sheri_rao> i think i have backdrop repo thats why
[15:08] <bullgard4> What is the reason that Ubuntu does not install the DEB program package 'esound' although it installs the 'esound-common' DEB program package?
[15:08] <mikebeecham> I;m getting this error when teasting the mic: Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'
[15:08] <ForsakenSoul> sorry for the stupid question
[15:08] <h1st0> mikebeecham: are you sure you're plugged in to the speaker port?
[15:08] <ForsakenSoul> i`m still a noob
[15:08] <profanephobia> ForsakenSoul, usually at boot when grub is starting up it will say press esc for grub menu
[15:08] <PCHENK> hooi
[15:08] <h1st0> ForsakenSoul: its supposed to give you a single user terminal
[15:09] <Seith> yes
[15:09] <mikebeecham> I have headphones AND speak h1st0...no matter which one I plug in, the other does not work
[15:09] <mikebeecham> if that makes sense
[15:09] <MadHag> actuallu all I need is the command to install, I can fix the xserver problem later
[15:09] <de_dustyciti> How can I update package linux-image-generic rather than have it on hold?
[15:09] <h1st0> mikebeecham: unplug the speakers and plug the headphones in the speaker spot?
[15:09] <ops1234509> how long will fiesty be supported?
[15:09] <Turno> if i upgrade from a 32bit cpu to a 64bit cpu, will I have to reinstall?
[15:09] <h1st0> mikebeecham: and you get no sound or no sound in either speakers or headphones?
[15:10] <mikebeecham> h1st0: then they will work, but the mic will still not work
[15:10] <graulich> how can I tell xorg.conf to make my mouse's "button 9" to act as the middle mouse button?
[15:10] <mikebeecham> I have tried this already
[15:10] <crdlb> ops1234509: until october (18 months from release)
[15:10] <Seith> i plug into the speaker port when i do the sound that is play like a video it will still sound from the speakers the is built in the laptop
[15:10] <prophY> no turno u dont have to
[15:10] <profanephobia> Turno, 64bit processors can run 32bit OS no need to reinstall
[15:10] <h1st0> mikebeecham: did you check if the mic is muted?
[15:10] <mikebeecham> in Windows, I have an option to have both working
[15:10] <Turno> sweet, thanks
[15:10] <mikebeecham> yes h1st0
[15:10] <h1st0> mikebeecham: alsamixer in terminal or double click the speaker icon by the clock.
[15:10] <MadHag> can someone click properties on the install icon and tell me the command please
[15:10] <Oxdude> hello all, first time for linux and ubuntu and having graphix card problem which is nvidia gforce 6200 and need step by step guide pls many thnx
[15:10] <Seith> the speakers r part of the labtop
[15:10] <mikebeecham> h1st0: I'm there
[15:10] <h1st0> mikebeecham: in alsamixer you can use the arrow keys to move over and make sure the mic is not muted.
[15:11] <bullgard4> MadHag: What What 'install' icon do you mean?
[15:11] <Seith> i dont have the setting
[15:11] <Seith> just volume
[15:11] <bytecode> Seith: that's what the "headphone sense" check box is for.  Enabling it in the preferences will make the "headphone Sense" check box then appear on the Options tab , you can then tick /check it so that the speakers are muted automatically
[15:11] <h1st0> mikebeecham: i believe m will un mute the channel you have selected.
[15:11] <profanephobia> MadHag, are you using the alternative cd?
[15:11] <graulich> how can I tell xorg.conf to make my mouse's "button 9" to act as the middle mouse button?
[15:12] <RyanPrior> It's a shame we don't have a GUI alsamixer.
[15:12] <MadHag> I am at a prompt because I have a gui problem
[15:12] <Seith> there only one box that volume n its check
[15:12] <MadHag> no I got thr otrt one, it came in the post today
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Oxdude: You should not have much of a problem getting that one to work.
[15:12] <MadHag> I just want to install
[15:12] <h1st0> mikebeecham: if you are in gnome make sure the checkbox isn't selected under the mic volume.
[15:13] <h1st0> MadHag: did you install or are you just trying to boot the livecd still?
[15:13] <erUSUL> RyanPrior: when i right click on the volume icon and choose to open volume control i have exactly that
[15:13] <mikebeecham> h1st0:  I am in gnome...and this is AMic?
[15:13] <MadHag> booting the live, I dont have windows
[15:13] <chazco> Anyone know how to sync a Samsung F700 with Ubuntu? It supposedly supports SyncML, but multisync wouldnt work :(
[15:13] <Oxdude> I see somethingwrong not driver mentioned under restricted driver manager
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia | Oxdude
[15:14] <ubotu> Oxdude: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[15:14] <Seith> i go to file n change device n see only realtek n alsa mixer
[15:14] <h1st0> mikebeecham: on the volume control make sure its not checkboxed under the microphone column
[15:14] <RyanPrior> erUSUL: Is that actually a front-end to alsamixer? If it is, why does the documentation say to run alsamixer from the CLI?
[15:14] <h1st0> MadHag: boot using the safe graphics mode.
[15:14] <bullgard4> jrib: I did answer you at 15:23 UT +1h but you did not take notice.
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Oxdude: Are you trying to enable effects ?
[15:14] <mikebeecham> h1st0: it's not
[15:14] <bytecode> Seith: Enable the other sliders by going to EDIT -> Preferences to enable the "headphone" volume slider and the "headphone jack sense" option.  the slider will appear on the same tab as the Main slider, the "headphone jack sense" option will appear on the Switches tab (sorry - i mistakely said options tab earlier)
[15:14] <MadHag> tried tat, no joy
[15:15] <MadHag> same ting, out of range

[15:15] <MadHag> I just want to start the install
[15:15] <OmegaCenti> help ignore
[15:15] <OmegaCenti> oops
[15:15] <h1st0> MadHag: well there is an alternate install cd that is text based so you can definately install using that.
[15:15] <MadHag> ati rad 9200 its supported
[15:15] <Seith> ok i went to it it has master pcm caller id and off-hook
[15:16] <RyanPrior> MadHag: what does it say when you type startx?
[15:16] <h1st0> MadHag: let me check something real quick
[15:16] <MadHag> I tried tat a few weeks ago and had the same problem
[15:16] <MadHag> I will try again
[15:16] <MadHag> with a fresh download
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: Yes you can get effects and all using 9200.. Did livecd boot for you?
[15:16] <erUSUL> RyanPrior: becouse it is easier. Some channels are hidden on the gui alsamixer shows them all
[15:17] <OmegaCenti> what does it mean when I type $ ls -al /etc and one of the entries is higlighted in green?
[15:17] <MadHag> not to a gui, its there but I cant see it :)
[15:17] <erUSUL> RyanPrior: in one shot
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: You may not need to reinstall.. if you have a little patience
[15:17] <MadHag> I use SuSE and all is fine there
[15:17] <RyanPrior> erUSUL: It sounds like we need a *better* GUI for alsamixer then. :-)
[15:17] <erUSUL> OmegaCenti: it has executable permisions
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: ctrl-alt-F2
[15:17] <MadHag> ok
[15:17] <MadHag> thanks
[15:17] <h1st0> MadHag: doewnload the alternate iso and install with that.
[15:17] <erUSUL> RyanPrior: you can configure the gui to show everything
[15:17] <MadHag> downloading now
[15:17] <h1st0> MadHag: it must be a problem with the livecd selecting a video driver for your card for some reason.
[15:17] <mikebeecham> h1st0: sorted it mate...within Alsa mixer, I had to open up Surround as an option, then I could slide up the volume

[15:30] <Chamwork`> it's like i go form a ferrari to a honda
[15:30] <OmegaCenti> I am having trouble accessing vpnc in /etc. the line is as followsdrwxrwxrw-  2 root vpnc      4096 2008-01-22 09:56 vpnc
[15:30] <Oxdude> cannot enable my card says... nvidia-glx-new is not enabled
[15:30] <arizon> is this working? I tried by entering through a chell without X started.
[15:30] <LjL> arizon: yes
[15:30] <bazhang> yes arizon
[15:30] <arizon> aight
[15:30] <chazco> Given the lack of support in Ubuntu for some devices how can I properly setup Virtualbox with USB pass-through? It currently seems to work, but fails when I actually try to use it...
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Chamwork`: Please stop with the comments...
[15:31] <erUSUL> !offtopic > Chamwork`
[15:31] <bytecode> Seith: it depends upon your laptops sound card, and which ones are recognised.
[15:31] <arizon> bazhang or LjL, can I get a little help? it's just a detail I need
[15:31] <bazhang> chazco: have you tried vmware-server? its in the canonical gutsy partner repos and works fine here; though vbox does as well for many
[15:32] <Seith> realtek hdaudio
[15:32] <Chamwork`> it's all good guys, i do approciate your hard work and helping people out, just not for me right now.  Good luck!
[15:32] <LjL> arizon: the question being?
[15:32] <bullgard4> h1st0: I am not familiar with the 'apt-cache showpkg' command. I use to use Synaptic. Please tell me what depends on what when there is a headline "Reverse Depends" and another headline "Dependencies:".
[15:32] <Seith> do i need to install alsa
[15:32] <arizon> you've probably answerede it a 100 times since yesterday.. I need to install the new drivers
[15:32] <arizon> I have downloaded them, I know how to stop gdm
[15:32] <LjL> arizon: the drivers for what?
[15:32] <arizon> I just don't remember how to run the drivers
[15:32] <arizon> nvidia
[15:32] <chazco> bazhang - How easy is it to convert virutal machines to VMWare? I thought it could only use existing systems...
[15:32] <arizon> sorry hehe
[15:33] <LjL> arizon: do the drivers from the repositories not work?
[15:33] <arizon> I had trouble with it last time
[15:33] <bazhang> chazco: convert? cant be done
[15:33] <profanephobia> arizon, have you tried using the restricted drivers manager?
[15:33] <OmegaCenti> I am having trouble accessing a file needed by vpnc in /etc/vpnc. Need help!
[15:33] <erUSUL> arizon: chamod +x NVIDIA_whatever && sudo ./NVIDIA_whatever
[15:33] <arizon> since the kernel update, the other day, I had problems to start X, but I got it working
[15:33] <chazco> Ah... that makes it more difficult then
[15:34] <LjL> arizon, we generally recommend using the drivers from the repositories (there are two versions, nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new, you might want to try the latter if the former has problems), and discourage using non-packaged drivers unless there's really something fatal with the ones shipped
[15:34] <riaal> Is there any easy way of checking CPU temp? (AMD 64)
[15:35] <LjL> !info lm-sensors | riaal
[15:35] <ubotu> riaal: lm-sensors (source: lm-sensors): utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors. In component main, is extra. Version 1:2.10.4-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 496 kB, installed size 1520 kB
[15:35] <arizon> ok, I have downloaded these from the nvidia site
[15:35] <arizon> are they the same as the repository drivers?
[15:35] <LjL> arizon: yes, that's what we generally discourage. no, they aren't.
[15:35] <arizon> ok
[15:36] <LjL> arizon: the trouble with those is that, when there is a kernel update for instance, your X will stop working.
[15:36] <arizon> I'll try with the rep. drivers first then.. be right back.
[15:36] <LjL> arizon: you really should.
[15:36] <arizon> yeah, I noticed that the other day
[15:36] <arizon> ^
[15:36] <crdlb> but yes, they're the same *driver* just different packaging
[15:36] <arizon> ok
[15:36] <arizon> I'll try w/ the repo thing first then, brb..
[15:36] <riaal> LjL, where can I find the manpage?
[15:36] <h1st0> riaal: acpi -t
[15:37] <LjL> riaal: sensors-detect and sensors
[15:38] <OmegaCenti> I am having trouble accessing a file needed by vpnc in /etc/vpnc. Need help!
[15:39] <h1st0> OmegaCenti: can you elaborate a little bit?
[15:39] <Tifanie> hello guys
[15:39] <didkoddd> hey what version of ubuntu will be the best fom my notebook ?
[15:40] <h1st0> riaal: man sensors
[15:40] <didkoddd> Aceer Aspire 5520 ?
[15:40] <_gallo_> hey ubuntu users
[15:40] <h1st0> didkoddd: you probably want to install the current version
[15:40] <_gallo_> i use windows 95 and its great :D
[15:40] <riaal> h1st0: LjL: cheers
[15:40] <didkoddd> what is .. ?
[15:40] <didkoddd> h1st0:  i mean can u give me link ??
[15:40] <riaal> If the system keeps rebooting, what logfile might show some info?
[15:40] <bazhang> _gallo_: nice to hear it! but wrong channel
[15:40] <h1st0> didkoddd: www.ubuntu.com
[15:41] <Tifanie> hello gays
[15:41] <amish_> when i install gutsy from d cd ... it shows some error ... can i upgrade to gutsy using d cd ??
[15:41] <Jack_Sparrow> OmegaCenti: What program are you using to try and access it?
[15:41] <Tifanie> how are u?
[15:41] <erUSUL> crdlb: not really true owners of a 8xxx nvida series of card need the nvidia.com driver afaik
[15:41] <bazhang> Tifanie: not really a chat channel
[15:41] <_gallo_> i tried to install ubuntu on my notebook but it crashes all the time
[15:42] <Tifanie> aha
[15:42] <ForsakenSoul> profanephobia are you still here
[15:42] <Tifanie> but i want sex
[15:42] <bazhang> _gallo_: perhaps ##windows can help you then
[15:42] <bazhang> Tifanie: please stop
[15:42] <didkoddd> i men gyus i tried once
[15:42] <Jack_Sparrow> _gallo_: What type of notebook and what all has been added or changed from the initial installation
[15:42] <colinnn> hey all, after the last update, X doesn't start. after running dpkg-configure the error output is the same as before. typed it in at http://pastebin.com/d3c887644
[15:42] <didkoddd> but when i am done with the installation .
[15:42] <didkoddd> cant boot
[15:42] <didkoddd> and stuck
[15:42] <profanephobia> ForsakenSoul, yes
[15:42] <arizon> it doesn't work
[15:42] <h1st0> didkoddd: do you get any error msgs?
[15:42] <_gallo_> but its ubuntu gutsy gibbon i'm trying to install
[15:42] <ForsakenSoul> look i tried the recovery mode but it stops at the terminal
[15:43] <ForsakenSoul> my system bootet but no gui
[15:43] <didkoddd> h1st0:  i dont remember .. it was 2 wweeks ago ..
[15:43] <didkoddd> but i think yeah
[15:43] <erUSUL> ForsakenSoul: that's what it is supposed to do give you a root terminal to fix things
[15:43] <didkoddd> the acant boot
[15:43] <ForsakenSoul> i can`t start my logon screen because i`ve made it to autolog
[15:43] <didkoddd> and to boot manually
[15:43] <didkoddd> .......
[15:43] <profanephobia> ForsakenSoul, so you werent able to get to a terminal?
[15:43] <colinnn> Jack_Sparrow: heya :) dpkg-reconfigure didn't work, error message from startx is at http://pastebin.com/d3c887644
[15:43] <Jack_Sparrow> _gallo_: What type of notebook and what all has been added or changed from the initial installation
[15:43] <arizon> LjL: I went to Screens and graphics, choose driver by model, took the right one, restarted X, changed back in xorg.conf to nvidia instead of nv.
[15:43] <h1st0> didkoddd: ?  I can't really understand what you are saying the livecd wouldn't boot properly?
[15:43] <chazco> Whats the quickest partition resizer? Need to create a partition for windows
[15:43] <ForsakenSoul> profanephobia a got a terminal but i don`t know what do to when i`m there
[15:43] <OmegaCenti> h1st0: Jack_Sparrow Well, I am trying to look at files inside of the directory /etc/vpnc and it doesn't seem I can cd into the directory, and sudo cd doesn't work
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> colinnn: I saw it.. and I ferer to someone with more knowledge in that area..
[15:44] <h1st0> chazco: gparted
[15:44] <_gallo_> my notebook is a dell notebook with 1 gb ram and a dual core processor
[15:44] <h1st0> chazco: or fdisk or cfdisk
[15:44] <_gallo_> nothing has been changed
[15:44] <chazco> gparted was very, very slow last time... and fdisk / cfdisk are destructive iirc
[15:44] <colinnn> Jack_Sparrow: hehe okay. i didn't uninstall X btw. trust me i am not that insane. i just ran the last update.
[15:44] <profanephobia> ForsakenSoul, type startx and recored any errors
[15:44] <h1st0> _gallo_: do you need any help or are you just trolling?
[15:44] <erUSUL> chazco: there is no other options afaik
[15:44] <ForsakenSoul> I need a way to get into failsafe mode
[15:44] <didkoddd> h1st0:  it boot .. installl ....... and when I reboot after the install .........
[15:44] <_gallo_> I'm just trolling
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> OmegaCenti: DO you have a gui on that box or just server?
[15:44] <Seith> how do i format my etrax harddrive on my computer so i can use it as a storage space
[15:44] <ForsakenSoul> so i can fix my drivers
[15:44] <didkoddd> cant boot .......
[15:44] <chazco> Ah pity :(
[15:45] <h1st0> !best | chazco
[15:45] <ubotu> chazco: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[15:45] <arizon> shizz. I was gone on sec, and now it's loads of stuff here..
[15:45] <ForsakenSoul> ok thanks
[15:45] <Seith> i have Ubuntu
[15:45] <chazco> For the record, i didnt ask for the best, i asked for the fastest...
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> _gallo_: What model of Dell
[15:45] <h1st0> didkoddd: can't boot what the livecd?
[15:45] <OmegaCenti> Jack_Sparrow: I have a gui, using ubuntu 7.10 with gnome
[15:45] <erUSUL> ForsakenSoul: did you manually installed nvidia/ati drivers? if so you need to reinstall them
[15:45] <ForsakenSoul> you`ll here from me if i mess up :D
[15:45] <arizon> gah, how do I scroll in this thing?
[15:45] <didkoddd> no the system
[15:45] <didkoddd> h1st0:  the sysmtem .......
[15:45] <_gallo_> dell taqi_nonen
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> OmegaCenti: See if you can get in with gksudo nautilus
[15:45] <didkoddd> h1st0:  cant load linux .......
[15:45] <ForsakenSoul> erUSUL no i actually install a libgl that deleted my nvidia drivers
[15:45] <ForsakenSoul> by mistake
[15:45] <h1st0> didkoddd: what happens when it doesn't load kind of need more information
[15:46] <Pie-rate> is there any way i can disable the close button on rhythmbox or make it minimize to its icon when the close button is pressed? i'm sick of closing it accidentally.
[15:46] <Seith> can some help me
[15:46] <erUSUL> ForsakenSoul: (re)install nvidia-glx-* packages  ??
[15:46] <OmegaCenti> Jack_Sparrow: yes I can get in with gksudo nautilus
[15:46] <smirre> why when I run 'sudo apt-get install libfuse2 fuse-utils libntfs8 ntfsprogs' it tells me: Couldn't find package libfuse2
[15:46] <smirre>  ??
[15:46] <Seith> i want to format my extra hardrive how can i do that
[15:46] <h1st0> Pie-rate: it should put an applet by the clock.  Just right click on the applet and check box show rhythmbox
[15:46] <Seith> i have Ubuntu
[15:46] <arizon> I'll be back later...
[15:46] <profanephobia> Seith, sudo apt-get install gparted
[15:47] <Seith> how so i install that
[15:47] <profanephobia> Seith, gnome partion editor will allow you to easily format your drives with a GUI
[15:47] <profanephobia> Seith, sudo apt-get install gparted in the terminal
[15:47] <tinman_> So, pon dsl-provider trigers the internet connection, sometimes it starts and sometimes it dosent so i issue the comamnd a few more time and it tarts, but when i do this after a few minutes i disconnect with a "modem hangup"
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> OmegaCenti: SOmeone earlier posted in response to your question the method of changing permissions.. if that is what you are looking to do.
[15:48] <profanephobia> Seith, or search for gparted in synaptic
[15:48] <tinman_> Maybe the "plog" isen't giving me enough information as what is happining actually
[15:48] <smirre> When I try to run #sudo apt-get install gparted it sais :  Couldn't find package gparted
[15:48] <weeman> how can i fuck my mumyy?
[15:48] <tinman_> Is there a wasy way to make it who the actual lines from /var/log/syslog ?
[15:48] <OmegaCenti> Jack_Sparrow: not quite, I know how to change permissions, my problem is that I can't normally cd into the directory in a terminal, even though I THINK I am in the group of users that can use it
[15:49] <weeman> hmm
[15:49] <weeman> ok thx
[15:49] <OmegaCenti> Jack_Sparrow: drwxrwxrw-   2 root vpnc      4096 2008-01-22 09:56 vpnc
[15:50] <Seith> ok i did that but still wont let me format
[15:50] <profanephobia> Seith, it needs to be unmounted
[15:50] <tinman_> And am I getting the modem hangup because i triggered too many connection?
[15:50] <OmegaCenti> Jack_Sparrow: however, when I type groups in the terminal, it doesn't show me as a member of the group vpnc
[15:50] <erUSUL> tinman_: have you revised the system logs  ??
[15:50] <ikonia> OmegaCenti: if you have added yourself you need to log out and back in to be a member or start a new shell
[15:50] <Seith> ok
[15:51] <OmegaCenti> ikonia: so just exit in the terminal?
[15:51] <fairyEneried> hola
[15:51] <fairyEneried> sorry, hello!
[15:51] <ikonia> OmegaCenti: just start a new shell
[15:51] <fairyEneried> I need a little help, as always
[15:51] <ikonia> fairyEneried: ask the question then
[15:51] <OmegaCenti> ikonia: how would I do that inside a terminal window? it doesn't seem to work if I just open a new twerminal in gnome.
[15:51] <tinman_> 16:50 < erUSUL> tinman_: have you revised the system logs  ??
[15:51] <Seith> ok it is
[15:51] <tinman_> What do you mean?
[15:51] <fairyEneried> I need a Caller Id program for my ubuntu
[15:52] <ikonia> OmegaCenti what is your username
[15:52] <m4rC0> hi guys
[15:52] <OmegaCenti> ikonia: andromeda
[15:52] <ikonia> fairyEneried: caller id ? do you have your phone routing through your computer ?
[15:52] <ikonia> OmegaCenti: grep andromeda /etc/group
[15:52] <erUSUL> tinman_: look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog to see why it hangs up
[15:52] <m4rC0> can i do a question?
[15:52] <ikonia> m4rC0: sure
[15:52] <Pie-rate> h1st0: yeah.... that has absolutely nothing to do with my question. i want the CLOSE button to do what the CLOSE button should do, and CLOSE the window, instead of being a QUIT button.
[15:52] <tinman_> erUSUL: I see..
[15:52] <m4rC0> sry my english and the noob questions :P
[15:52] <bazhang> just the one
[15:53] <OmegaCenti> ikonia: alright, the /etc/groups says I am a member of vpnc
[15:53] <mp_spyder89> quit
[15:53] <ikonia> OmegaCenti: ok - so do "id andromada" does that show you ?
[15:53] <mp_spyder89> exit
[15:53] <m4rC0> xgl is valid as graphic acceleration for games?
[15:53] <fairyEneried> ikonia: give me a second
[15:53] <m4rC0> like warsow?
[15:53] <erUSUL> Pie-rate: on all windowing systems (window apple unix baesd) the close button has allways closed the app
[15:53] <OmegaCenti> ikonia: it says vpnc in the list
[15:53] <ikonia> m4rC0: xgl isn't graphics acceleration, your graphics drivers supply that
[15:53] <ikonia> OmegaCenti: ok, so log out and back in
[15:54] <OmegaCenti> ikonia: sorry, I don't know how to log out and back in inside a terminal window.
[15:54] <profanephobia> Pie-rate, some themes move the close button to the other end of the window though
[15:54] <ikonia> OmegaCenti: just exit your desktop and log back in - it will be easier
[15:54] <steveny> hello:)
[15:54] <Pie-rate> erUSUL: every single other application that uses a notification area icon like that stays open when you use the close button
[15:54] <OmegaCenti> ikonia: oy, that means I lose everything I was working on :/
[15:54] <steveny> I have a small USB problem:( I am sad
[15:54] <Pie-rate> erUSUL: there's no reason why rhythmbox should do that differently.
[15:54] <neverblue> morning
[15:55] <ikonia> OmegaCenti: su - andromeda
[15:55] <fairyEneried> ikonia: yes, the phone line is attached to the modem and the phone to the modem
[15:55] <ikonia> see if that works
[15:55] <erUSUL> Pie-rate: there exceptions to it but they are a few (application dependant) and usually you have to explicity enable the not normal behavior of "close button minimi to notification area/try"
[15:55] <ikonia> fairyEneried: caller id need to be enabled by your phone provider
[15:55] <OmegaCenti> ikonia: that worked!!!
[15:55] <OmegaCenti> ikonia: thanks
[15:55] <ikonia> OmegaCenti: great,
[15:55] <ikonia> OmegaCenti: just be aware it will only work in that one shell until you log out of gnome and back in
[15:55] <kksm19820117> Back when I used to run Red Hat 7.0, I used to edit the /etc/inittab file in order to get multiple GUI screens, the second which could be accessed via Ctrl-Alt-F8. How do I do this on Ubuntu, given that I cannot find an innittab file in /etc? I am running a xdm/fluxbox setup.
[15:55] <OmegaCenti> ikonia: nice!!!
[15:55] <steveny> does someone have a spare minute for a USB port problem?
[15:56] <OmegaCenti> ikonia: that is fine, I now have access to vpnc ^_^
[15:56] <fairyEneried> ikonia: we have the caller id service on the provider, and we were using it in windows, but, we're moving to linux now, and we need an alternative
[15:56] <ikonia> OmegaCenti: ok, just keep that in mind
[15:56] <profanephobia> !ask steveny
[15:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask steveny - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:56] <Pie-rate> erUSUL: no. pidgin and every single other instant messenger i can think of has a default behavior of minimizing to tray
[15:56] <joe_> hello all. I am trying to install a driver for my printer and the instructions indicate that I need to do it from root, but I cant seem to log in as root.
[15:56] <ikonia> fairyEneried: look at the documentation for things like astrix, see if it has any recommendations
[15:56] <Pie-rate> erUSUL: as does banshee and every other music player with a tray icon i can think of
[15:56] <ikonia> joe_: sudo replaces root
[15:56] <ikonia> !sudo > joe_
[15:56] <ikonia> joe_: read the links ubotu just sent you
[15:56] <steveny> my usb ports aren't working....
[15:56] <steveny> steveny@steveny-laptop:~$ lsusb
[15:56] <steveny> Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

[15:56] <steveny> Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[15:56] <joe_> ikonia:  when I type sudo password it says password command not found
[15:56] <FloodBot1> steveny: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:56] <riaal> Anyone think it can be some software failure that make my computer die and reebot every 7-12 day
[15:57] <erUSUL> Pie-rate: well what can i say use banshee then
[15:57] <ikonia> joe_: why are you doing that ?
[15:57] <profanephobia> !paste | steveny
[15:57] <ikonia> joe_: you just need to do "sudo command"
[15:57] <ubotu> steveny: 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)
[15:57] <Seith> ok i install it from sysnaptic  gparted\
[15:57] <ikonia> joe_: also "password" is not a valid comment
[15:57] <rvalles> smirre: did you build a custom kernel?
[15:57] <ikonia> command
[15:57] <joe_> ikonia:  cause I was told I had to, in order to change the root password
[15:57] <Seith> how can i use it
[15:57] <fairyEneried> thanks ikonia
[15:57] <h1st0> Seith: no run it.
[15:57] <rvalles> sorry, steveny
[15:57] <ikonia> joe_: who told you that ? you should not set the root password
[15:57] <Pie-rate> erUSUL: i like rhythmbox, it's an annoyance that there should either be a pref for or should just be eliminated
[15:57] <fairyEneried> ikonia: but asterisk is not too big for such little task?
[15:57] <h1st0> Seith: it should be in yoru applications menu if not hit alt+f2 and type in gparted
[15:57] <fairyEneried> :)
[15:57] <profanephobia> Seith, system -> admin -> gparted
[15:58] <ikonia> fairyEneried: astrix is too big, hence why I said look at what it uses ad see what you can adapt
[15:58] <joe_> ikonia:  a buddy of mine told me to. ok, I wont do it then. I will check out the links
[15:58] <Seith> on terminAL
[15:58] <Pie-rate> erUSUL: no one complains about gaim minimizing to notification by default, tons of people complain about rhythmbox. it's a bad behavior and it should be changed.
[15:58] <ikonia> joe_: I advise to not listen to your buddies advice in future
[15:58] <joe_> hehe
[15:58] <m4rC0> can i play warsow with xgll or i have to install driver with aiglx? :S
[15:58] <ikonia> joe_: you just need to use "sudo" infront of a command to use it as root
[15:58] <ikonia> joe_: "eg ls" is "sudo ls" and ls will be run as root
[15:58] <ForsakenSoul> erUSUL i tired to start with the startx command but it gave me an error
[15:58] <Seith> ok i ran it
[15:58] <rvalles> m4rC0: aiglx is generally better than xgl
[15:59] <ForsakenSoul> cannot find module nvidia and no devices found
[15:59] <fairyEneried> yep, ikonia, you're right, thanks ;)

[16:00] <rvalles> steveny: tried loading uhci_hcd
[16:00] <rvalles> steveny: ?
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> m4rC0: The Current ATI drivers use AIGLX.There is no need to install XGL that the older drivers (< 8.40) required.
[16:01] <rvalles> steveny: does it work from another OS? maybe it's disabled on bios?
[16:01] <erawfish> !nvidia  | forsaken
[16:01] <ubotu> forsaken: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[16:01] <Pie-rate> erUSUL: is there any way to do it through a plugin?
[16:01] <steveny> um...how do I do that? I am completely new...sorry
[16:01] <erUSUL> Pie-rate: dunno; sorry
[16:01] <rvalles> steveny: modprobe uhci_hcd
[16:01] <m4rC0> i have installed v7.12 of ati driver
[16:01] <steveny> no, it works in xp
[16:02] <rvalles> ok, if it works on xp...
[16:02] <m4rC0> but animations in compize where slow
[16:02] <OmegaCenti> Oy, this is a hassle trying to run vpnc as a member of the group vpnc. vpnc is located in /usr/sbin/vpnc. My path doesn't have /usr/sbin in it, and even if I try /usr/sbin/vpnc default.conf it gives me an error of binding to 0.0.0.0:500: Permission denied. Any suggestions?
[16:02] <rvalles> try loading that kernel module to see if it helps
[16:02] <m4rC0> so i turned back to xgl :S
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> m4rC0: What ATI card?
[16:02] <Pie-rate> erUSUL: looks like probably not
[16:02] <h1st0> OmegaCenti: you may get more help int he support for vpnc
[16:02] <m4rC0> ati radeon x1650
[16:02] <Seith> just to make sure the one that said file system that one is the on that have Ubuntu on it right
[16:03] <rvalles> intel and via motherboards use uhci instead of ohci (for usb 1.1) and ehci (usb 2.0) devices sometimes work sometimes do not if the correct uhci/ohci hcd is present
[16:03] <rvalles> *not present
[16:03] <OmegaCenti> h1st0: didn't find any #vpnc :/. I really have been searching
[16:03] <h1st0> OmegaCenti: did you check on the vpnc site?
[16:03] <OmegaCenti> h1st0: been scouring it like there was no tomorrow :)
[16:03] <steveny> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53037/
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL: Do you have the link for the ATI that are blacklisted?
[16:04] <erawfish> OmegaCenti: you need to be root to be able to bind to ports <1024
[16:04] <h1st0> OmegaCenti: how did you install vpnc?
[16:04] <Pici> !cfbl | Jack_Sparrow
[16:04] <ubotu> Jack_Sparrow: Desktop Effects are supported on graphics cards that use the default Intel and ATI drivers and the restricted !NVIDIA drivers, except for the following, which are blacklisted due to stability/compatibility issues: Intel 965, ATI Rs480 and Rv350, ATI Mobility x300, x600 and x700 - Join #compiz-fusion for anything not officially supported by Ubuntu
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Thanks
[16:04] <erawfish> OmegaCenti: also that it is in /usr/sbin is a STRONG hint that only under root this program is runnable
[16:05] <OmegaCenti> h1st0: installed via synaptics
[16:05] <erawfish> !info vpnc
[16:05] <ubotu> vpnc (source: vpnc): Cisco-compatible VPN client. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.4.0-3ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 62 kB, installed size 228 kB
[16:05] <OmegaCenti> erawfish: so I should only run it as root?
[16:05] <h1st0> OmegaCenti: then documentation would be with man vpnc
[16:05] <erawfish> you CAN only run it as root
[16:05] <h1st0> OmegaCenti: possible search the forums.
[16:05] <OmegaCenti> h1st0: been reading it :/
[16:05] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: no; sorry :(
[16:05] <h1st0> !sudo | OmegaCenti
[16:05] <ubotu> OmegaCenti: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[16:05] <mats_> is there secure IM for Ubuntu?
[16:05] <OmegaCenti> h1st0: am reading the forums.

[16:05] <OmegaCenti> h1st0: I know what root is.
[16:06] <jac0b-work> is anyone using wpa2 on their wireless
[16:06] <m4rC0> well txh for the help
[16:06] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL: Got it... thanks
[16:06] <neverblue> !anyone | jac0b-work
[16:06] <steveny> rvalles? any luck with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53037/
[16:06] <ubotu> jac0b-work: 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?
[16:06] <two_bits> I just got everything working in Ubuntu working, and I just want to shout to the world, this is the best operating system I have ever used!
[16:06] <erUSUL> mats_: jabber (gtalk for example) can be encrypted
[16:06] <hax0r> i'm trying to execute a binary file, i did 'chmod 777 filename' and now it says "no such file or directory" how can that be?
[16:06] <pygmymath> two_bits: We know :P but good on you :D
[16:06] <jac0b-work> that is my real question
[16:06] <neverblue> mats, using SSL/TSL, yes, if your looking for a client, most can handle SSL/TSL
[16:07] <riotkittie> i use wpa/wpa2 mixed
[16:07] <erawfish> hax0r: the directory is not in your path
[16:07] <rvalles> steveny: sudo modprobe...
[16:07] <MichaelSammels> If I remove the package ubuntu-desktop does it remove my GUI?
[16:07] <jac0b-work> i have seen in the bug reports that wpa2 is not owkring
[16:07] <neverblue> nice two_bits :)
[16:07] <mats_> Thanks neverblue
[16:07] <hax0r> i'm in the directory where the binary is.. i can nano it, but when i try executing it, it says "no such file or directory"
[16:07] <neverblue> mats_, it just matters if the server accepts security
[16:07] <riotkittie> jac0b-work: that probably depends on people's devices and their drivers...
[16:07] <pygmymath> jac0b-work: only if that includes gnome ?
[16:07] <erawfish> hax0r: cause . is not in your path
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> MichaelSammels: Perhaps you should tell us what you are trying to do
[16:07] <rvalles> hax0r: is the binary... a shell script?
[16:07] <rvalles> or script of sorts
[16:07] <pygmymath> jac0b-work: wrong person sorry
[16:07] <erUSUL> MichaelSammels: no; it is a meta-package it pulls packages in but it does not remove any (maybe if you use autoremove)
[16:07] <pygmymath> MichaelSammels: only if that includes gnome
[16:08] <hax0r> erawfish: what do you mean by not in my path
[16:08] <DiDKo> hey guys can i install ubuntu desctop amd64 on my notebook?
[16:08] <rvalles> hax0r: what does the first line say? does _that_ file exist?
[16:08]  * cyberix have s a problem https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/22796
[16:08] <hax0r> rvalles: no, it's a compiled binary
[16:08] <rvalles> hax0r: are you calling it as ./binary?
[16:08] <pygmymath> MichaelSammels: unless you're using a different wm
[16:08] <erUSUL> DiDKo: if its a 64 bit cpu you can
[16:08] <erawfish> hax0r: what I wrote

[16:09] <jac0b-work> i am going to use RTL8185L wireless card now and I am going to use wpa2
[16:09] <rvalles> if not, I have no idea how to help you
[16:09] <a110100> amitprakash: do you play frozen bubble often?
[16:09] <smirre> Why cant I install anything? It keeps telling that the library is not found
[16:09] <jac0b-work> wpa work flawlessly
[16:09] <fuq> heh
[16:09] <jac0b-work> does*
[16:09] <pygmymath> smirre: what do you mean by anything?
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> smirre: Did you enable the additional repos
[16:10] <erawfish> smirre: exact error message
[16:10] <riotkittie> jac0b-work: rt... is that a realtek or an ralink?
[16:10] <jac0b-work> realtek
[16:10] <Pici> !netsplit
[16:10] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[16:10] <erawfish> riotkittie: realtek

[16:10] <neverblue> wow
[16:10] <neverblue> lots of networks going down, that cannot be good
[16:10] <steveny> rvalles: the lsusb is all the same...plugging and unplugging didn't do anything:( something else I can check
[16:10] <riotkittie> i should have known that. heh.

[16:10] <pygmymath> i think
[16:11] <jac0b-work> thanks for the help
[16:11] <rvalles> steveny: sorry, I'm out of ideas
[16:11] <Danagin> I'm having two problems. 1st problem, I hooked up a 250gb drive and formated it with 2 ext3 partitions, I only see one of them in ubuntu, the second problem is that I can't do anything with the partition it can see. if I chown user:username, it tells me invalid username
[16:11] <smirre> pygmymath: Thanks. It returls the following: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[16:11] <smirre> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[16:11] <rvalles> steveny: in any case, run "dmesg" and paste the full output somewhere.
[16:11] <riotkittie> jac0b-work: i'm not familiar with realteks but wpa2 should be possible. if it's not supported by the native driver, there's always wpa_supplicant or ndiswrapper :T
[16:11] <Danagin> can I get a little help please
[16:11] <rvalles> steveny: it might help me or others debug the problem
[16:12] <profanephobia> smirre, do you have synaptic open?
[16:12] <rvalles> steveny: you can save the output in a plaintext file doing dmesg >file
[16:12] <pygmymath> smirre: are you running add/remove programs or synaptic or auto updates?
[16:12] <napnap_notused> I installing Xubuntu on my USB harddrive, I'm at the install time. I would like to install Grub on my usb drive and not on my internal drive. Actually it will be installed on (hd0), how can I know the equivalent of /media/sdb ?
[16:12] <waiting4android> anyone know of a software that allow s voice  chat on google or yahoo in ubuntu
[16:12] <waiting4android> ?
[16:12] <pygmymath> smirre: what profanephobia said heh
[16:12] <riotkittie> and sometimes, manual configuration works a lot better than relying on network-manager
[16:12] <jac0b-work> the realtek RTL8185L per their site is supported under kernel 2.6.22

[16:14] <voidmage> Would compiz still work in that setup?

[16:15] <voidmage> :P
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> smirre: Post your sources.list to the pastebin please
[16:15] <crdlb> voidmage: iirc your max texture size should be around 8192x8192
[16:15] <crdlb> hehe

[16:15] <riotkittie> napnap_notused: with grub, 0 is the first drive and first partition (0,0 in grub == sda1 or hda1). so if your usb drive is say, sdc, it'd be 2,0 in grub

[16:15] <OmegaCenti> Well, I have been searching for a while now, and is there any reason why I wouldn't be able to connect to a vpn running ubuntu in a virtualbox?

[16:17] <Danagin> can someone please help me with a few minor questions to get me rolling with ubuntu?
[16:17] <QwertyM> I just want to know if there is a way in rtorrent to allow only one torrent to download at a time, and when it completes, start the next in the list?

[16:20] <hobbzilla> Greetings. Just installed ubuntu for the first time.

[16:20] <pygmymath> Danagin: thats fdisk -l
[16:20] <riotkittie> ForsakenSoul: sudo apt-get install <package>
[16:20] <pppoe_dude> I can add a VPN network but it doesn't show up in the connection list.
[16:20] <hobbzilla> however, during the install process, it never asked me to set root's passwd.
[16:20] <pygmymath> smirre: is the automatic updater a running? it should update through that? though 5.10 is pretty darn old heh
[16:20] <hobbzilla> is there a default passwd.
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !root
[16:20] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[16:20] <riotkittie> hobbzilla: there is no root password. root is locked. use sudo.

[16:21] <pygmymath> lol
[16:21] <Seith> so how can i fix that so i can use either my headphone or my external logic speakers\
[16:21] <erUSUL> rvalles: the correct ting to use is «sudo -i»
[16:21] <amish_> the resolution of my videos is not as what it used to be in windows ... how do i fix that ??
[16:21] <smirre> pygmymath: All I want to do is format a drive. Surely 5.04 can do that?
[16:21] <juannicolas> hi
[16:21] <rvalles> steveny: looks quite nice.
[16:21] <erawfish> smirre: mkfs
[16:21] <Quicksilva> Hi would anyone be available to help me with compiling ffmpeg in ubuntu.   I am following this.... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53041/  and when I copy and paste the .configure block I get this output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53043/       thanks :)
[16:21] <rvalles> steveny: maybe... try to boot the kernel without apic
[16:22] <pygmymath> smirre: fdisk is a formatting program, not particularly ni<ce but it works
[16:22] <pygmymath> smirre: or mkfs
[16:22] <MadHag> fatal server error
[16:22] <juannicolas> How can i make my vpn server in Ubuntu to give me DNS in addition of an ip and gateway
[16:22] <juannicolas> ?
[16:22] <smirre> pygmymathL okay will try those thanks
[16:22] <erawfish> pygmymath: it's a partitioning program
[16:22] <MadHag> no valid fontpath could be found
[16:22] <rvalles> steveny: other than that, I can't say.
[16:22] <erawfish> juannicolas: dhcp?
[16:22] <amish_> Jack_Sparrow : the quality of my videos is not as what it used to be in windows ... how do i fix that ??
[16:22] <MadHag> I cant startx
[16:22] <pygmymath> erawfish: only had experience with fdisk heh
[16:22] <hobbzilla> okay, thanks. so I should "not" change root's password once I've gained access to it's account?
[16:22] <steveny> rvalles: yeah......I have no idea what that means:P I am on day two of this ubuntu stuff
[16:23] <Jack_Sparrow> amish_: What video card are you using?
[16:23] <erawfish> hobbzilla: right
[16:23] <Danagin> I know what fdsik is to ms but didn't know you could use it with linux too.
[16:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Danagin: Different fdisk
[16:23] <juannicolas> erawfish I do have DHCP running also, but when i connect to my server via VPN gives me, IP, gateway but i also want dns in order to have internet via my vpn
[16:23] <MadHag> use system recovery
[16:23] <MadHag> its great
[16:23] <pygmymath> Danagin: just to be confusing heh
[16:23] <rvalles> steveny: press esc in early boot, to get grub menu to display
 : ATI accelerated graphics driver ...
[16:23] <Danagin> lol
[16:24] <erawfish> juannicolas: it's a dhcp server setting most probably
[16:24] <rvalles> steveny: edit the kernel commandline, and add noapic nolapic
[16:24] <rvalles> steveny: at the end of it
[16:24] <rvalles> good luck
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Danagin: May I suggest gparted livecd... for what you are trying to do..  not gparted on the ubuntu livecd
[16:24] <rvalles> if that doesn't work, I don't know what else you can try, sadly
 it shows its in use in d restricted drivers ...
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> amish_: That does not tell me which card..
[16:24] <hobbzilla> erawfish: why not change root's passwd ?
[16:24] <erawfish> juannicolas: he already has partitioned. now we need to check what he did. fdisk -l
[16:24] <MadHag> http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
 how to check ??
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !noroot
[16:24] <ubotu> We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)
[16:24] <erawfish> hobbzilla: cause there is no root password to change and there is no root account to log into
[16:25] <juannicolas> wroung tab
[16:25] <rvalles> Jack_Sparrow: lol, problems which are result of having a root password

[16:25] <erawfish> !lamp | mr__daniel
[16:25] <ubotu> mr__daniel: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[16:44] <Pici> mats_: Firestarter is just a front end to iptables. iptables is always (iirc) running.
[16:44] <genii> ForsakenSoul: ifconfig eth0 up     or the interface name whatever it is
[16:45] <h1st0> !hardy > optx,   optx Read the private message from ubotu.
[16:45] <nicoleamychung> how do i install emule bittorent?
[16:45] <MadHag> that tells me to to install the fglrx driver?
[16:45] <genii> optx: #ubuntu+1
[16:45] <mats_> perfect thanks
[16:45] <h1st0> !p2p > nicoleamychung,   nicoleamychung Read the private message from ubotu.
[16:45] <ForsakenSoul> genii and what would this command do excatly ...
[16:45] <genii> ForsakenSoul: It swould try to fire up your ethernet adapter
[16:45] <ForsakenSoul> ok thanks
[16:45] <nicoleamychung> everytime i try to install it, won't let me
[16:45] <h1st0> MadHag: I thought Jack_Sparrow said that card wouldn't work with fglrx
[16:46] <hobbzilla> Is there a faq/help page that explains the pros/cons of running KDE-Ubuntu vs. Kubuntu?
[16:46] <MadHag> thats what I mean
[16:46] <grandi> nicoleamychung, emule is a windows program. similar program in linux is amule
[16:46] <nicoleamychung> where can i find amule for linux?
[16:46] <h1st0> hobbzilla: google has some links to blogs on the matter
[16:47] <Jack_Sparrow> h1st0: It shouldnt..
[16:47] <MadHag> bloody annoying, works great in SuSE
[16:47] <h1st0> nicoleamychung: can you please read the pm from ubotu
[16:47] <Pici> nicoleamychung: amule is in the Ubuntu repositories.
[16:47] <nicoleamychung> ok
[16:47] <nicoleamychung> have you got a website to amule?
[16:47] <h1st0> !software > nicoleamychung,   nicoleamychung Read the private message from ubotu.
[16:47] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: that card works with fglrx in suse?
[16:47] <h1st0> nicoleamychung: its in the repos you don't need their webiste.
[16:47] <MadHag> not sure
[16:47] <MadHag> just standard installation
[16:48] <lxndr82> !software > lxndr82
[16:48] <MadHag> compiz and everting
[16:48] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: please post your xorg.conf to the pastebin...  or read my notes and make those changes
[16:48] <MadHag> whats this no valid font path error?
[16:48] <h1st0> MadHag: on help.ubuntu.com under community docs is a hardware compatibility list that shows which driver to use for each card.
[16:49] <MadHag> I have no gui
[16:49] <hobbzilla> is /boot & /tmp better suited for a non-journaled FS (i.e. ext2) ?
[16:49] <h1st0> MadHag: that has nothing to do with why X isn't starting.
[16:49] <MadHag> crap typing all that out :)
[16:49] <h1st0> MadHag: its a warning.
[16:49] <verb3k> Guys I have a problem with some .flv videos from youtube, their video plays very fast but the sound is normal, how can I play a youtube flv properly? (using the latest mplayer release)  thanks in advance
[16:49] <verb3k> I am using Mplayer
[16:50] <h1st0> verb3k: aren't you using flash for them? or are you capturing videos then playing them back with mplayer?
[16:50] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: If you cant get vesa mode to work the problem goes deeper than just video driver
[16:50] <MadHag> hmm
[16:50] <MadHag> like what though
[16:50] <MadHag> the card is supported
[16:50] <verb3k> h1st0, I downloaded them from youtube and want to play them with mplayer
[16:50] <bazhang> !enter | MadHag
[16:50] <ubotu> MadHag: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[16:50] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: Which is why it is not the real problem
[16:50] <MadHag> my mother board?
[16:51] <nicoleamychung> i'm new to linux
[16:51] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: It could be several things... I cant guess from here. only from what you tell us.
[16:51] <verb3k> h1st0, the video runs so fast but audio is normal
[16:51] <bazhang> nicoleamychung: care to join #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[16:51] <MadHag> ok, tanks anyway
[16:51] <h1st0> verb3k: no idea i've haven't tried to play flv
[16:51] <ksbalaji> hlst0: Requested to see pvt msg?
[16:51] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and look it over
[16:51] <h1st0> verb3k: perhaps #mplayer?
[16:51] <Ertu> guys, is it normal for X to take up over 10% of my CPU just for dragging a window around? In fact, it's usually at 3% idle.
[16:52] <verb3k> h1st0, tried to ask there but no one replies
[16:52] <MadHag> ok
[16:52] <nicoleamychung> i want to learn commands for linux
[16:52] <h1st0> Ertu: what kind of cpu?
[16:52] <Pici> !cli > nicoleamychung (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[16:52] <h1st0> Ertu: and what kind of video card?
[16:52] <andrew_> !cli
[16:52] <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
[16:52] <Ertu> it's a modern hp lappy with a dual core processor and a geforce
[16:52] <bazhang> http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/ nicoleamychung
[16:53] <nicoleamychung> ok thanks
[16:53] <h1st0> Ertu: did you install nvidia drivers? if not that is the problem
[16:53] <MadHag> nan command not fpound?
[16:53] <MadHag> nano
[16:53] <dave_> !
[16:53] <nicoleamychung> also, are linux uses to hack
[16:53] <h1st0> MadHag: nano should be installed
[16:53] <Ertu> yup, using the restricted drivers. glxgears works.
[16:53] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: sudo nano   not found...
[16:53] <Flanger> nicoleamychung: There are very nice tutorials to be found all over the net.
[16:54] <MadHag> yep
[16:54] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: Then like we suspected, the problem is much deeper...
[16:54] <h1st0> Ertu: hrm..  Well thats definately not normal.
[16:54] <MadHag> had a small prob with software install
[16:54] <nicoleamychung> whos floodbot1
[16:54] <MadHag> so skipped it
[16:54] <Jack_Sparrow> MadHag: This is a hd install not wubi or some other vm stuff right?
[16:54] <MadHag> just base system
[16:54] <Ertu> well that's good to know :). At least then it can be fixed.
[16:54] <tyranos> can someone tell me how to get my virtual consoles(ctrl+alt+f1) in gutsy back and also add to option to login to console instead of gdm  plz
[16:54] <unagi> can i make a new user account and install kde on it to try it out or will that affect my other users too
[16:54] <bazhang> nicoleamychung: this is not really a chat channel

[17:14] <mavi-> Yonie: install firestarter, thats a nice gui to config the firewall and NAT
[17:14] <mavi-> Yonie: but if you want to do it all by yourself you need iptables
[17:15] <pike_> melter: this is more striclty support there is so much traffic that anything not related to that gets shunted to offtopic
[17:15] <brobostigon> nicoleamychung: try tunning synaptic from terminal, if it gets errors that will tell you, gksudo synaptic, that the command

[17:16] <bcardarella> mavi: regular speakers work.... headphones no audio. I know the headphone plug works
[17:16] <jeezy> i need help on installing ubuntu 7.10 on an ibook g4 1,3 ghz
[17:16] <adelie> how can I see what package commands / programs are members of?
[17:16] <mavi-> bcardarella: test speakers and phones in the same jack, done that?
[17:17] <taishi28012> Is there a way to map the escape key to the right alt key in ubuntu?
[17:17] <bcardarella> mavi: it's a laptop
[17:17] <jeezy> on 82% the installation stops with "false mirror server" during the apt configuration
[17:17] <brobostigon> jeesy: i have gutsy on an ibook g3, what the problem
[17:17] <nicoleamychung> it got an error when i did that
[17:17] <mavi-> bcardarella: ok, so its the same jack already?
[17:17] <ksbalaji> neverblue: Yes I tried thru terminal. Even then, opening an application takes about 5 secs. Earlier it was immediate.
[17:17] <tytilasson> Anyone know a work around for a HAL failure after an update on 8.04?
[17:17] <neverblue> jeezy have you checked the forums, or do you have a specific question about that setup ?
[17:17] <Chamunks> This just seems like something that would be awesome to know, I've found a few links via google but is there a above all guide to teach a total rookie bash scripting?
[17:17] <mavi-> bcardarella: some laptops have more then one out channel
[17:17] <jeezy> (the error is translated from german)
[17:17] <mats_> tried to connect to #ubuntu-offtopic no answer
[17:17] <adelie> taishi28012: yes... but I don't know how. I know it is possible for what it it worth
[17:17] <neverblue> ksbalaji, and the application is ?
[17:17] <mavi-> bcardarella: oh, internal speakers ofc
[17:17] <Yonie> mavi-, thanks, ill try that now :) can you also tell me how do i get the gateway, ifconf doesnt give me the gateway
[17:18] <nicoleamychung> i'm using the old version of ubuntu - brobostigon
[17:18] <Jack_Sparrow> tytilasson: Ask in #Ubuntu+1 for the best answers to that.
[17:18] <mavi-> Yonie: you need to get that from your ISP, it isnt something your computer knows
[17:18] <taishi28012> adelie: Thanks
[17:18] <mavi-> Yonie: try typing "route"
[17:18] <bcardarella> mavi: yeah, integrated system speakers work. Headphone jack no worky....    this one doesn't seem to have another audio out port
[17:18] <mavi-> Yonie: that will show your current router
[17:18] <frikkie> How can I access data on a harddrive? (FAT32)
[17:18] <tytilasson> ty
[17:18] <brobostigon> nicoleamychung: in terminal type the following, gksudo synaptic, and tell me what happens
[17:18] <mavi-> bcardarella: double click the speaker icon and make sure all those are turned on
[17:18] <Yonie> mavi-, thank you
[17:19] <NemesisUK> genii, maybe it's a phenom thing :(
[17:19] <nicoleamychung> bazhang - i am using the old version of ubuntu
[17:19] <bazhang> nicoleamychung: which one
[17:19] <neozen-work> hi guys
[17:19] <neozen-work> got a problem with my display
[17:19] <bazhang> hi neozen-work
[17:19] <nicoleamychung> the old version but don't know which one
[17:20] <neozen-work> about every 30 seconds, it goes dark
[17:20] <nicoleamychung> brobostigon-it says it failed
[17:20] <bcardarella> mavi: everything is on... the only thing I don't have in the volume control settings is a headphone volume option. There is nothing in the preferences that allow me to choose that either
[17:20] <nicoleamychung> bazhang-i don't know which version i'm using
[17:20] <neozen-work> switching to a virtual console and back fixes it.... until another 30 seconds passes
[17:20] <nicoleamychung> bazhang-how do i find out
[17:20] <neozen-work> ATI Mobility FireGL 9000
[17:20] <nicoleamychung> bazhang-how do i find out what version i'm actually using?
[17:20] <bazhang> is that lsb_release -a in the terminal? I forget
[17:21] <mavi-> bcardarella: you dont have that checkbox in edit->preferences?
[17:21] <Yonie> mavi-, when i type route it gives me two of the same think under destination, is that right?
[17:21] <jeezy> is there a special channel for ubuntu ppc?
[17:21] <variable_office> is there any way to get java running in 64bit firefox?
[17:21] <neozen-work> even in a virtual console (tty1), display goes dark
[17:21] <mavi-> Yonie: destinations are the networks you route to, so you can have diffrent routers to diffrent networks, the one that go to 0.0.0.0 is the default one
[17:21] <neozen-work> bazhang: hi there
[17:22] <bcardarella> mavi: nope
[17:22] <bcardarella> mavi: I wonder if Ubuntu installed the wrong driver for my audio card
[17:22] <bazhang> nicoleamychung: it is lsb_release -a in the terminal
[17:22] <mavi-> bcardarella: type "lspci" to see your hardware detected, then lsmod to see the loaded drivers
[17:22] <grandi> nicoleamychung, type lsb_release -d in the terminal
[17:22] <nicoleamychung> ok
[17:23] <DiDKo> hey guys i just installed ubuntu ..
[17:23] <bazhang> -d works as well? nice to know!

[17:58] <Whisper> h1st0 you suck i fixed it ;)
[17:58] <caravel_> (Edimax EN-9130TXL, chipset: Realtek, module: 8139too, no link)
[17:58] <caravel_> DRebellion: I got your point
[17:58] <mavi-> adelie: i think there are some dialogs and stuff ready to use from shell scripts, but if you want to make more advanced guis you should look in to python scripting
[17:58] <glaxo> some of my folders have an owner of "1026" what does this relate to ? I have no user of this name
[17:59] <ikonia> glaxo: it's a uid
[17:59] <Lunar_Lamp> glaxo, that is the users id number.
[17:59] <ikonia> glaxo: chown it to a user you do have
[17:59] <DRebellion> caravel_: have you checked output from the command 'dmesg' ?
[17:59] <h1st0> arjun: did you see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845&highlight=realtek+alc883
[17:59] <glaxo> thanks guys thats what I thought, it doesnt relate to any of my visible users UIDs though, I am unable to chown the directory as it is a cifs mount and I get permission denied when trying to do so
[17:59] <adelie> mavi-: for opening up windows and drawing primitives to it, you recommend python?
[18:00] <arjun> h1st0, checking it out quick
[18:00] <frikkie> The media player program does not want to play mp3 files. What do I do?
[18:00] <mavi-> adelie: i thought you ment native gui elements, to draw stuff you can use imagemagick
[18:00] <h1st0> arjun: that involves editing a file aparently
[18:00] <h1st0> arjun: maybe a better option
[18:01] <arjun> h1st0,  ok im gona check this one out quick thanx man ;)
[18:01] <DRebellion> frikkie: which media player program?
[18:01] <adelie> mavi-: both
[18:01] <wers> why isn't gtkwifi in the repos?
[18:01] <caravel_> DRebellion: yes thanks: I can see some entries "NETDEV WATCHDOG [...] timed out", related ?
[18:01] <glaxo> ikonia, Lunar_Lamp, any ideas?
[18:01] <mavi-> adelie: but yeah, i would still recomend python, and use of gtk (the native gui) and cairo, a vector gfx library to do the drawing
[18:01] <nemilar> !mp3
[18:01] <DRebellion> caravel_: yep

[18:08] <arizon> but I was trying to find it earlier but I didnj't
[18:08] <DRebellion> init6: i think, system > administration > services
[18:08] <nemilar> piyush_: I use gnochm but there's also kchmviewer for kde
[18:08] <xsfr> is there a boost.asio package?
[18:08] <DRebellion> init6: :P
[18:08] <DRebellion> ikonia: :P
[18:08] <xsfr> !boost asio
[18:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about boost asio - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:09] <init6> DRebellion, thanks but I don't have a GUI.  :P
[18:09] <arizon> I'll be back.
[18:09] <piyush_> mlr:ok
[18:09] <xsfr> !pkg boost asio
[18:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pkg boost asio - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:09] <frikkie> How do I install the restricted-extras in v5.04 ?
[18:09] <piyush_> mlr: i m googling...

[18:09] <m1r> piyush_: chm viewer , sry
[18:09] <glaxo> ikonia,  is it UID or GID i'm looking for?
[18:09] <MitsuoDeshoDesho> ikonia: data is still there, i am 100% sure, just programs get all messed up and i cant mount shit
[18:10] <ikonia> glaxo: check bothas I don't know where your seeing the number your quoteing
[18:10] <piyush_> mlr: ok thank u... :)

[18:10] <Kodge> Hi, is there any Ubuntu MSN clients ( similar to windows ) that support webcam viewing?
[18:10] <ikonia> !language | MitsuoDeshoDesho
[18:10] <ubotu> MitsuoDeshoDesho: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[18:10] <ikonia> MitsuoDeshoDesho: the data is there, but without a partition table you can't do anything with it
[18:10] <nemilar> The language requirements for this channel are like on a 7th Heaven TV show
[18:10] <mats_> kodge there is one built in
[18:10] <Kodge> In Pidgin?
[18:11] <ikonia> nemilar: if you don't like it, raise a request to change it
[18:11] <ikonia> nemilar: but don't cry about it
[18:11] <arizon> I don't know how to scroll when using this ctrl alt f1 chell
[18:11] <arizon> shell
[18:11] <nemilar> ikonia: I'm not crying about it
[18:11] <DRebellion> arizon: shift + pgup/pgdown
[18:11] <arizon> I've started X now
[18:11] <mats_> Pidgin connects to MSN, Yahoo etc'
[18:11] <arizon> thanx
[18:11] <MitsuoDeshoDesho> ikonia: some stuff can read it.. but some cant
[18:11] <Kodge> mats_: Pidgin doesn't support webcam viewing
[18:11] <brobostigon> mats_: yep
[18:11] <arizon> doesn't work :S
[18:11] <glaxo> ikonia, 1026 appears to be my UID on the server
[18:11] <ikonia> glaxo: perfect
[18:11] <glaxo> ikonia, do I need to make them match?
[18:12] <ikonia> glaxo: thats the most easy way of dealing with things
[18:12] <mats_> guess not
[18:12] <arizon> I don't have the possibility to choose "restricted drivers" from the menue
[18:12] <arizon> menu
[18:12] <glaxo> ikonia, is there a preference for which end to change it at? I would hazard a guess at client end
[18:12] <ikonia> glaxo: excellent call
[18:12] <DRebellion> arizon: have you enabled the restricted sources?
[18:12] <glaxo> ikonia, can you guess my next question? ;)
[18:12] <ikonia> glaxo: how ?
[18:13] <glaxo> ikonia, we have a winner!
[18:13] <arizon> Not that I'm aware of, from synaptic?
[18:13] <ikonia> glaxo: one moment, let me just check everything you need to do
[18:13] <DRebellion> arizon: system > administration > sources
[18:13] <arizon> aight. wait
[18:13] <DRebellion> arizon: system > administration > software sources
[18:13] <arizon> DRebellion, aight, wait a sec
[18:14] <ikonia> glaxo: actually can I suggest an even easier solution, (we can do the longer one if you want)
[18:14] <glaxo> ikonia, suggest away
[18:14] <frikkie> How can I play mp3 files in v5.04?
[18:14] <magnetron> what disassemblers for linux elf binaries do you recommend?
[18:14] <xsfr> can i get a hardy package to work on gutsy?
[18:15] <ikonia> glaxo: create a group on both machines call it something like "share_access" "groupadd -g 1200 share_access" on both boxes, then add your username to that group on both the server and the client, then chown -R user:share_access the share
[18:15] <ikonia> glaxo: that way your local uid's on both client and server are safe
[18:15] <frikkie> How can I install mp3 codec on v5.04 ?
[18:15] <ikonia> frikkie: 5.04 packages have not been updated for a long time
[18:15] <arizon> DRebellion: where do I find it in that menu? I can't see any "restricted drivers" nor "drivers" option
[18:15] <glaxo> ikonia, I don't have that level of flexibility on the server side as it is a consumer NAS
[18:15] <ikonia> glaxo: does that make sense what I'm suggesting
[18:16] <arizon> no wait, i found it
[18:16] <xsfr> can i get a hardy package to work on gutsy?
[18:16] <arizon> DRebellion: it's enabled
[18:16] <ikonia> glaxo: ok - we'll do this the client way. What permissions do you want, just your user - or everyone or what ?
[18:16] <brobostigon> xsfr: no, not recommended
[18:16] <frikkie> ikonia, I dont need a new package. I just want to play mp3 files.
[18:16] <frikkie> ikonia, old package will do
[18:16] <ikonia> frikkie: does that package exist on 5.04
[18:16] <brobostigon> frikkie: try xmms, audacious
[18:16] <glaxo> ikonia, ideally my user with full access and others with read only
[18:17] <xsfr> brobostigon, does gutsy have the boost asio package?
[18:17] <ikonia> glaxo: can you show me the output of "ls $path/to/share" on your client machine in a pastebin please.
[18:17] <brobostigon> xsfr: no idea: packages,ubuntu.com
[18:17] <ikonia> glaxo: just so I can be certain what you've got
[18:17] <magnetron> frikkie: ubuntu 5.04 is not supported anymore.
[18:17] <arizon> did DRebellion leave while I was tabbed out?
[18:17] <DRebellion> arizon: still here
[18:17] <arizon> alright
[18:18] <arizon> DRebellion: It's enabled, but doesn't show up in the menu
[18:18] <frikkie> magez, Yes I see that... but it should not be that hard to get mp3s working right?
[18:18] <gigo> if i do, aptitude update; aptitude upgrade, does it only install security patches or does it upgrade some software packages too to new versions?
[18:18] <dundel> is there a way to restart ur sound driver or something, sometimes rhythmbox is just freezing and i need to reboot or logout to play music/sounds again
[18:18] <glaxo> ikonia, do you want the output of the mount point or what?
[18:18]  * DRebellion shrugs
[18:18] <arizon> DRebellion, I've set driver to "nv" in xorg to make it run at all
[18:18] <ikonia> glaxo: yeah, perfect
[18:18] <arizon> does that affect it
[18:18] <Toran> Hey guys, does anyone have any experience getting uShare to work with sharing media to an xbox 360 over a network?
[18:18] <ikonia> arizon: vesa is the safe option

[18:18] <ubotu> Toran: 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?
[18:18] <gigo> this channel is scrolling so fast
[18:18] <gigo> anyone read my question
[18:19] <gigo>  if i do, aptitude update; aptitude upgrade, does it only install security patches or does it upgrade some software packages too to new versions?
[18:19] <ikonia> frikkie: xmms is a player, not a codec
[18:19] <brobostigon> frikkie: try, xmms, audacious,vlc, they play mp3 straight,
[18:19] <Toran> I'm having problems. I've installed and configured ushare, but my xbox doesn't see my computer once I start it. Would that have anything to do with the fact that I'm on a campus network?
[18:19] <ikonia> gigo: it upgrades all that is possibe

[18:19] <arizon> I'll try with the nvidia pkg. it did the trick last time
[18:19] <arizon> brb
[18:19] <ikonia> arizon: I advise against that
[18:19] <ikonia> arizon: very much !
[18:20] <arizon> ok..but that's what I've been using for months
[18:20] <brobostigon> frikkie: sudo apt-get install xmms, type that into terminal
[18:20] <Kodge> Are there any MSN clients that support webcam for Ubuntu? ( other than Amsn, that's rubbish )
[18:20] <ikonia> arizon: if you do that, you may lose a lot of support in here
[18:20] <arizon> ikonia: is there a spec. reason?
[18:20] <yoshx> hello
[18:20] <ikonia> arizon: they are not tested against the current ubuntu kernels interfaces
[18:20] <glaxo> ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53062/
[18:20] <arizon> ikonia, ah, ok..
[18:20] <frikkie> brobostigon,  It returns: "sudo apt-get install xmms"
[18:20] <ikonia> glaxo: I need "ls -la"

[18:21] <arizon> ikonia, Is Envy a way to go?
[18:21] <ikonia> glaxo: not just ls
[18:21] <frikkie> brobostigon, oops... hold on
[18:21] <ikonia> arizon: %100 not
[18:21] <DRebellion> !envy | arizon
[18:21] <ubotu> arizon: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[18:21] <ikonia> arizon: envy is even worse
[18:21] <frikkie> brobostigon, It returns: "E: Package xmms has no installation candidate
[18:21] <frikkie> "
[18:21] <ikonia> arizon: even though it uses the same drivers from nvidia.com
[18:21] <ikonia> frikkie: it doesn't exist on your version then
[18:21] <frikkie> ikonia, alright
[18:21] <glaxo> ikonia, apologies http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53063/
[18:21] <arizon> ikonia, ok
[18:21] <frikkie> ikonia, What did they use back when 5.04 was new?
[18:22] <ikonia> frikkie: no idea
[18:22] <ikonia> frikkie: can't remember how it was put togther
[18:22] <brobostigon> i used xmms
[18:22] <gigo> ubotu: enter key as a punctuation? what do you mean?
[18:22]  * arizon is backing off ikonia for a while, (s)he seems to have 3 others on h(im/er)
[18:22] <frikkie> brobostigon, Okay. How did you install it back then?
[18:22] <brobostigon> i have used xmms, since 1999

[18:23] <gigo> ok
[18:23] <brobostigon> frikkie: i compiled from source
[18:23] <gigo> what is enter key as a punctuation? i thought , ; ! . etc. are punctuation
[18:23] <magnetron> frikkie: they don't fix bugs in ubuntu 5.04 anymore. you take a security risk by running that version of ubuntu, and we cannot provide support for such an old version.
[18:23] <ikonia> glaxo: ok - good news is - your user perms are great, just need to sort out your local permissions
[18:23] <arizon> ikonia, give me a shout-out when you have time/would like to explain on how to go about with this
[18:23] <ikonia> arizon: ok
[18:23] <magnetron> frikkie: the oldest supported version is Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
[18:24] <glaxo> ikonia, lets sort
[18:24] <frikkie> magnetron, Yes I know that. :) I just want to use this old machine to play mp3... and I dont have a newer cd. So... just want to play mp3 on hifi. Did not think such a simple thing cannot be solved.
[18:24] <ikonia> glaxo: ok so basiclly you need to create a clone of your current user with a new uid
[18:24] <DRebellion> frikkie: tried any other players?
[18:24] <glaxo> ikonia, sounds reasonable
[18:25] <lod____> hi, my calender is set to usa standart (sunday is first day of the week) but I'm In europe and I want to fix this, can someone help me
[18:25] <brobostigon> frikkie: do a search on packages.ubuntu.com, that will tell you what packages are availble for your version
[18:25] <ikonia> glaxo: are you confident with cut and paste ?
[18:25] <frikkie> DRebellion, I got this file: xmms-1.2.10-1.i386 but I dont know what to do with it

[18:26] <ikonia> glaxo: I need you to be %100 honest an accurate in what your doing as we are going to change some serious files
[18:26] <ikonia> glaxo: are you with me/following ?
[18:26] <Sjimmie> oh is it already :) Well then it's your localization, let me think

[18:27] <arizon> back in black :)
[18:27] <xsfr> what is the difference between "gutsy" and "hardy"?
[18:27] <ikonia> xsfr: later versions

[18:27] <lod____> i don't want to change my iface languge
[18:27] <xsfr> which one is better ikonia?
[18:27] <glaxo> ikonia, yep no problem - ive got the whole system stored in a backup image

[18:28] <ikonia> xsfr: gutsy only exists at the moment
[18:28] <ikonia> glaxo: ok - be very careful with this and say "stop" if your not certain about ANYTHING
[18:28] <Sjimmie> lod____: Where is your "default language" set to? go to -> System -> Administration -> Languages
[18:28] <ikonia> glaxo: first "grep 1026 /etc/passwd" on your client
[18:28] <lod____> but i'm use to think that the first column in calender is monday not sunday and i mix dates
[18:28] <ikonia> glaxo: that should return no results
[18:28] <ikonia> glaxo: please confirm
[18:28] <glaxo> ikonia, correct
[18:29] <frikkie> DRebellion, Can't I just download an installer and run it?
[18:29] <frikkie> DRebellion, For xmms?
[18:29] <ikonia> glaxo: ok now what is your text editor of choice, what are you most comfortable in ?
[18:29] <lod____> it's set to english
[18:29] <erUSUL> lod____: that depends on locale ;)
[18:29] <DRebellion> frikkie: you could download the xmms source code and compile it yourself
[18:29] <ikonia> frikkie: there isn't a package for your version
[18:29] <glaxo> ikonia, i normally use gedit
[18:29] <DiDKo> DRebellion : do u know amount ind digits
[18:29] <Sjimmie> English US or English (UK)
[18:29] <Sjimmie> lod____: ?

[18:30] <arizon> it's a dickster to read
[18:30] <ikonia> frikkie: download the ubuntu version you want, burn it, boot from it, install it

[18:32] <glaxo> ikonia, yep there
[18:32] <Sjimmie> lod____: if you changed your default language to UK
[18:33] <lod____> can I edit some of these locales
[18:33] <ikonia> glaxo: I need you to copy the whole line with your username in and paste it at the bottom of the file - as you did with shadow
[18:33] <glaxo> ikonia, hmm i get "user root does not exist"
[18:33] <frikkie> If I download the 700mb, and then upgrade... do I have to download 700mb every time there is an update? Or is there like an auto updater or something?
[18:33] <ikonia> glaxo: user root
[18:33] <PloneDork> installed ubuntu studio last night, booted up fine. Then did updates and now when I boot up I get an Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format error.  It then gives me the options to boot from ubutu, or recovery but does not want to boot. (ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-rt) any suggestions
[18:33] <DRebellion> frikkie: you only download what you need to update. nowhere near 700mb
[18:33] <frikkie> DRebellion, Will that continue until v8 and 9 etc?
[18:34] <brobostigon> frikkie: if you rrun an update after install, it only updates the packages that have updates
[18:34] <glaxo> ikonia, yes gksudo gedit /etc/shadow yields an alert box with "user root does not exist"
[18:34] <DRebellion> frikkie: just - 1) Download the gutsy iso image 2) Burn it to disc 3) Do a clean install
[18:34] <frikkie> DRebellion, Okay..... will do that.
[18:34] <brobostigon> do a backup
[18:34]  * arizon_ will be back in 1 min
[18:34] <ikonia> glaxo: ok - please test "sudo nano /etc/shadow"
[18:35] <glaxo> ikonia, sudo: no passwd entry for root!
[18:35] <ikonia> glaxo: thats exceptionally worrying
[18:35] <glaxo> ikonia, you're telling me!
[18:35] <brobostigon> frikkie: backup anything importent first
[18:35] <ikonia> glaxo: please test re-editing /etc/passwd
[18:35] <glaxo> ikonia, again "user root does not exist"
[18:36] <ikonia> glaxo: rats, we should have done this in single user mode
[18:36] <magnetron> glaxo: are you logged in as root?
[18:36] <ikonia> glaxo: my bad, we should have done /etc/shadow first
[18:36] <glaxo> magez, I am not
[18:36] <magnetron> glaxo: good
[18:36] <glaxo> mangetron, i am not
[18:36] <zer07> woah
[18:36] <PloneDork> hello? any suggestions?
[18:36] <glaxo> magnetron, sorry about the spellings!
[18:36] <ikonia> magnetron: it's my mistake, I've added and /etc/passwd entry before putting in a shadow enty for his password
[18:36] <DiDKo> anyvody know after i install ubuntu in safe graphics mode
[18:36] <DiDKo> what shoud i do ?
[18:37] <glaxo> ikonia, ahh I see the shadow should have come first?
[18:37]  * arizon_ is back and ready to be guided through restricted-drivers-installation/update
[18:37] <DiDKo> to boot it ?
[18:37] <magnetron> !enter | DiDKo
[18:37] <ubotu> DiDKo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[18:37] <ikonia> glaxo: not normally, but do to ubuntu's sudo config, it may have been a wiser call
[18:37] <ikonia> glaxo: it didn't hit me how it would effect sudo potentially
[18:37] <glaxo> ikonia, not to worry - do I need to restore from my image?
[18:37] <LadyNikon> hey. i am looking for a wifi adapter for my linux box.  I would like to have it as usb.  Any suggestions?
[18:37] <DRebellion> !hcl | LadyNikon
[18:37] <ubotu> LadyNikon: 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
[18:38] <ikonia> glaxo: no no no, just reboot into single user mode (safe mode) and remove the line from /etc/passwd at the bottom
[18:38] <LadyNikon> DRebellion: i wanted people suggestions here
[18:38] <magnetron> LadyNikon: my suggestion would be to avoid USB wifi adapters.
[18:38] <LadyNikon> magnetron: oh?
[18:38] <spleencheesmonke> anyone able to help with wireless networking.  seems my wireless card in my desktop doesnt want to connect.  keep getting dhclient: wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801
[18:38] <glaxo> ikonia, please excuse my ignorance - how do I boot into single user miode?
[18:39] <ikonia> glaxo: no problem, just reboot any in your grub menu should be "recovery mode"
[18:39] <glaxo> ikonia, will do - catch you shortly
[18:39] <ikonia> glaxo: I'll be  away for about 25 minutes, I'm going to drive home then resume
[18:39] <LadyNikon> magnetron: hard to use with linux or?
[18:39] <genii> spleencheesmonke: That is just the host controller designation and not actually the ethernet adapter itself. This happens much with Realtek 8187 wireless chipsets or similar. The one you want is wlan0
[18:39] <magnetron> LadyNikon: if you check the wiki page, you'll notice that the number of USB wifi adapters with working Linux drivers is disturbingly small
[18:40] <LadyNikon> magnetron: i am looking at it now
[18:40] <lod_> 10x everyone now the first day of the week is the right one
[18:40] <caravel_> DRebellion: do you have an idea for this Realtek chipset ? I did quite a few searching but no user seems to have cured it permanently ?
[18:40] <LadyNikon> magnetron: not surprised.. which is why i asked for opinions :)
[18:40] <LadyNikon> magnetron: i dun wanna spend money or stuff that might work
[18:40] <spleencheesmonke> genii - thanks for your response.  not sure what that means really.  can i post you the  /var/log/syslog of when i try to connect wirelessly?
[18:40] <benny269> Noob ubuntu user just started here, cant seem to watch videos? any help
[18:40] <DRebellion> LadyNikon: mine works perfectly - Belkin F5D7050uk ver. 4002 with gutsy
[18:40] <magnetron> LadyNikon: i got a PCI atheros-based card, it works perfectly.
[18:40] <DRebellion> LadyNikon: with WEP. haven't tried WPA yet.
[18:40] <caravel_> DRebellion: I just can'y believe the issue is not solved, that chipset is way too popular isn't it ?
[18:41] <spleencheesmonke> genii - it was working up until yesterday.  dont think i did anything to it! :)
[18:41] <LadyNikon> magnetron: i got a congested box.. which is why i was thinking usb.
[18:41] <sandr-> does anyone know how i can fix this problem with my desktop: http://users.telenet.be/sandr/video.avi ?
[18:41] <genii> spleencheesmonke: Don't bother. Just instead use wlan0 instead of wmaster0 as the adapter you wish to use
[18:41] <LadyNikon> DRebellion: hmmm..
[18:41] <DRebellion> !codecs > benny269 (read the pm from ubotu)
[18:41] <arizon_> can I somehow install restricted drivers manager?
[18:41] <Petrov> i have xp and vmware 1.0.4. I want install ubuntu but then : asking for cache data failed en assuming drive cache: write through
[18:41] <spleencheesmonke> how do i select wlan0?
[18:41] <DRebellion> LadyNikon: mind you, gutsy is the only distro its worked properly on ;)
[18:41] <magnetron> LadyNikon: i took out one of the sound cards when i fitted this in.
[18:41] <LadyNikon> DRebellion: heh
[18:42] <DiDKo> how can i boot . from the built in shell ?
[18:42] <DiDKo> anybody knows?
[18:42] <danbhfive> arizon_: have you checked your sources yet?
[18:42] <benny269> DRebellion: thank you, before i do that, what is medibuntu?
[18:42] <LadyNikon> DiDKo: . ?
[18:42] <genii> spleencheesmonke: First see if it will start up. In Terminal:   sudo ifconfig wlan0 up                      then: ifconfig    and see if there is a stanza about it now active
[18:42] <arizon_> danbhfive: yes, it's enabled already, I have disabled and re-enabled it
[18:42] <DRebellion> benny269: basically, stuff we can't put in ubuntu for legal reasons. proprietary software/codecs and stuff
[18:42] <arizon_> danbhfive: still doesn't exist in the menu
[18:42] <sandr-> medibuntu is a distribution with many multimedia functions and restriced extras
[18:42] <magnetron> DiDKo: if you are at the shell, you already have booted. when did your ubuntu stop booting into graphical mode?
[18:42] <spleencheesmonke> genii - wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[18:43] <benny269> DRebellion: so is it a program, a distro or codecs or......?
[18:43] <DRebellion> benny269: a repository
[18:43] <danbhfive> arizon_: try using the CLI, restricted-manager
[18:43] <DRebellion> !medibuntu | benny269
[18:43] <ubotu> benny269: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[18:43] <arizon_> danbhfive: where do I find that?
[18:43] <danbhfive> arizon_: do you know how to open a terminal?
[18:43] <sandr-> does anyone know how i can fix this problem with my desktop: http://users.telenet.be/sandr/video.avi ?
[18:43] <arizon_> yes, wait a sec. I'm gonna try
[18:44] <arizon_> ;)
[18:44] <Breakage> Hi, whats gives better audio quality on huge speakers? Alsa or OSS?
[18:44] <danbhfive> arizon_: CLI is a reference to the terminal
[18:44] <genii> spleencheesmonke: 1 minute
[18:44] <spleencheesmonke> np
[18:44] <benny269> DRebellion: lol yes i tried that already but it doesnt mean much to me? whats a repository? what do i use it for? do i need it?
[18:44] <DiDKo> magnetron : stucked at the ubuntu sign for loading
[18:44] <arizon_> ah. I didn't know that
[18:44] <magnetron> sandr-: what problem?
[18:44] <DiDKo> magnetron : and afterthat built in shell
[18:44] <glaxo> !pastebin
[18:45] <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)
[18:45] <arizon_> danbhfive: still, how do I use it?
[18:45] <genii> spleencheesmonke: Do you know how to use pastebin?
[18:45] <arizon_> the manager
[18:45] <magnetron> DiDKo: what di you do with the computer, the last time it was booting the graphical interface?
[18:45] <danbhfive> arizon_: did it start?
[18:45] <spleencheesmonke> nope.  i learn quick though :)
[18:45] <glaxo> ikonia, troubles!
[18:45] <arizon_> what do I write
[18:45] <Tyczek> hi, what is the best method to install newest ati catalist... build package or start the installer?
[18:45] <DiDKo> magnetron : installed in in safe graphics mode....
[18:45] <DRebellion> benny269: a repository is where lots of packages are stored so you can use programs like synaptic and apt-get to download and install them automagically.
[18:45] <arizon_> danbhfive: driver gives me nothing when tabbing
[18:45] <danbhfive> arizon_: on the terminal? or in the manager?
[18:45] <ouellettesr> hello, im having trouble with my gps device, it keeps switching between /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyACM0
[18:45] <LadyNikon> i see broadcom is still being a pain in the devices..
[18:45] <gradin> anybody know of a good thumbnail generating program thats actually in the repositories
[18:46] <spleencheesmonke> am at pastebin.com now
[18:46] <Jupp2> I have an old laptop with a semi-working cdrom drive, the drive is good enough to boot into a live session in ubuntu, not good enough to go trough a full install. My questions is: is there a way to boot from a CD and install from a usb drive (my old laptop won't boot from usb)?
[18:46] <arizon_> I have the terminal open, but I can't get any manager started, since I don't know what to write in the terminal to start the mgr
[18:46] <benny269> DRebellion: so what popular packages are included under medibuntu?
[18:46] <glaxo> ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53064/ thats what I get when trying to run single user login
[18:46] <genii> spleencheesmonke: If nt glaxo just told the channel bot to provide the address of it, above. So copy into a pastebin the results of:  lsmod            then: cat /etc/network/interfaces     and: lspci   and: lsusb
[18:46] <brobostigon> gradin: gthumb
[18:46] <DiDKo> magnetron : any clue ?
[18:46] <danbhfive> arizon_: please continue to cite my name, it makes it easier for me.  The command is restricted-manager
[18:46] <arizon_> yeah, sorry
[18:47] <arizon_> danbhfive: ok, I'll try
[18:47] <DRebellion> benny269: packages for playing proprietary formats like your videos. what format are they in?
[18:47] <arizon_> danbhfive: one sec
[18:47] <Eat_pici> How do I install a .tgz file?
[18:47] <magnetron> DiDKo: what "safe graphics mode" are you talking about? and what did you install? ubuntu has no "safe graphics mode", is this something you did in windows?
[18:47] <DRebellion> !make | Eat_pici
[18:47] <ubotu> Eat_pici: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[18:47] <ouellettesr> benny269: http://medibuntu.org/packages.php
[18:47] <Eat_pici> sweet!
[18:47] <arizon_> danbhfive: i'll do an apt-get since it's not installed
[18:47] <pike_> Eat_pici: unpack it then take a look at the install or readme file it varies. id recommend looking for a deb or something
[18:47] <spleencheesmonke> do i put lsmod into terminal?
[18:47] <danbhfive> arizon_: hmmm, thats not right
[18:47] <DiDKo> magnetron ubuntu 7.10 64
[18:47] <danbhfive> arizon_: is this vanilla ubuntu?
[18:47] <arizon_> arizon@arizon-desktop:~$ restricted-manager
[18:47] <arizon_> The program 'restricted-manager' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[18:47] <arizon_> sudo apt-get install restricted-manager
[18:47] <DiDKo> magnetron right under install ....
[18:48] <DRebellion> spleencheesmonke: yars
[18:48] <arizon_> danbhfive: no It's ordinary gnome kernel ubuntu
[18:48] <magnetron> DiDKo: sorry, i don't understand.
[18:48] <danbhfive> arizon_: try running this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:48] <PriceChild> arizon_, did you install ubuntu, or is it linux mint, ubuntu ultimate etc. ?
[18:48] <arizon_> no ubuntu gutsy
[18:48] <ouellettesr> anyone know anything about gps devices?
[18:49] <arizon_> danbhfive: why would I want to install ubuntu desktop?
[18:49] <arizon_> :O
[18:49] <Enano> Hi! I have windows with Ubuntu, dualboot. I'm gonna re-install ubuntu, I've DLed the live DVD and booted from it, but it won't let me select "install ubunutu" from it. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!
[18:49] <sybariten> i'm running a ubuntu live install from a USB memory, with one of those persistent partitions. I can no longer install apps via apt, it complains about no space. Can someone guide me through how i can find out if i can ditch something, things arent working out here.
[18:49] <brobostigon> arizon_: ubuntu-desktop package guves you gnome DE
[18:49] <sybariten> i have done df -h but it doesnt work, actually
[18:49] <DiDKo> magnetron when i try to staart my pc ... it goes to the built in shell
[18:49] <danbhfive> arizon_: well, you can fix the restricted manager, but the root problem, i believe is that you don't have a full installation, for whatever reason
[18:49] <DiDKo> what to do ?
[18:50] <benny269> DRebellion: I'
[18:50] <mustafa> to make compiz available .. what should I do?
[18:50] <benny269> I'm not sure, i think divx
[18:50] <danbhfive> arizon_: installing ubuntu-desktop gives you a full installation, or at least close to it
[18:50] <spleencheesmonke> genii - done
[18:50] <spleencheesmonke> seperated entrys by ---------
[18:50] <arizon_> danbhfive: I did install that, but still haven't got the restricted-manager
[18:50] <danbhfive> arizon_: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^
[18:51] <arizon_> danbhfive: I originally upgraded from feisty, but then I installed gutsy from a liveCD
[18:51] <benny269> DRebellion: I think divx
[18:51] <arizon_> danbhfive: is the difference the ^?
[18:51] <magnetron> DiDKo: i know that your computer goes to the shell at start, but i don't know why. i was hoping you could tell me what can have caused this, what you were doing the last time the computer functioned normally.
[18:51] <ompaul> scott85678 one only please
[18:51] <danbhfive> arizon_: a fresh install, yes, the ^ makes it different
[18:51] <arizon_> danbhfive: BIG difference.. the other one was like..one pgk
[18:52] <danbhfive> arizon_: a fresh install?
[18:52] <arizon_> danbhfive: yeah, LOADS of stuff, compared to what I first did
[18:52] <DRebellion> benny269: sudo apt-get install avifile-divx-plugin

[19:02] <Linoman> magnetron http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53066/ heres what i got from lspci but i cant seems to find it, i only find bridges, video wired network adapters
[19:02] <arizon> The moment of truth is upon us. I am going to apply the 3d driver and see if X crashes. going -> x now, brb
[19:02] <PloneDork> h1st0: do you think I am better off doing a complete reinstall with ubu defaults, I have no data stored...freshly reformatted disks
[19:03] <h1st0> PloneDork: yeah let the installer partition your drive sounds like you messed up a pointer or something.
[19:03] <asdwdf> hey
[19:03] <poisonkiller> can any1 say why ubuntu is using most of my 512mb RAM and half of my swap (~700mb)

[19:04] <magnetron> Linoman: is it an internal or external wireless card that you are trying to got to work? is it an USB device?
[19:04] <dissident> i installed it and it works but i cannot see through it, it doesn't show anything, only black screen
[19:04] <ouellettesr> anyone know why my gps device registers as ttyUSB0 and then changes to ttyACM0
[19:04] <arizon> well, I discovered that it was already enabled, which means it works!!!
[19:04] <dissident> do i have to install some kind of videoplayer in virtualbox

[19:05] <filthpig> !vm
[19:05] <ubotu> There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[19:05] <h1st0> dissident: what are you trying to do with virtual box?
[19:05] <arizon> danbhfive, ikonia, DRebellion: Thanx for all your help! it's greatly appreciated and you're doing revolutionary work!
[19:05] <filthpig> !qemu
[19:05] <ubotu> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[19:05] <h1st0> !botabuse > filthpig,   filthpig Read the private message from ubotu.
[19:06] <spleencheesmonke> genii - you get the paste ok?  sorry, not being impatient - just want to make sure :)
[19:06] <magnetron> Linoman: you can use lsusb to list USB devices in your system, in the same way as lspci.
[19:06] <filthpig> huh?
[19:06] <glaxo> ikonia, you there?
[19:06] <h1st0> filthpig: msg ubotu with /msg ubotu qemu instead of flooding the channel
[19:06] <zhaz> well let me frase it this way, anyone got any experience on install ubuntu on a xen machine?

[19:08] <spleencheesmonke> thanks
[19:08] <poisonkiller> can any1 tell me why ubuntu is using 100% of my RAM (512mb) and 50% of my swap (total is 1.5GB)?
[19:08] <magnetron> Linoman: that may be it
[19:08] <dissident> what do i have to install to actually use my webcam, it only shows black screen , everthing is installed
[19:08] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: why shouldn't it be using that much?
[19:08] <Linoman> magnetron so what do i do next? where can i start looking?
[19:09] <jm-didi> ?
[19:09] <magnetron> poisonkiller: run the system monitor and tell us which program is using all the ram
[19:09] <IgorSobreira> hi all.. have two processes using all my CPU: gnome-settings-* and gnome-volume-ma* anybody knows what could be the problem?
[19:09] <abuyazan> hwllo
[19:09] <h1st0> dissident: that stuff you may have to ask the virtualbox people.  I don't know if they ever implemented hardware support like that.
[19:10] <h1st0> IgorSobreira: the processes just hung maybe?
[19:10] <abuyazan> i have ubuntu 7.10 on HP laptop but last week the sound control buttons become not functioning
[19:10] <abuyazan> just mute is working
[19:10] <danbhfive> how do I change the MIME type of a file?
[19:11] <abuyazan> cannot up and down the volume
[19:11] <mustafa> in appearance .. when I try to turn on visual effects it says 'the composite extension is not available' .. what is my problem?
[19:11] <dissident> ok
[19:11] <h1st0> mustafa: your video driver
[19:11] <h1st0> mustafa: what type of video card do you have?
[19:11] <magnetron> Linoman: you could start googling for your laptop model and linux, or you could google for the line that show up in lsusb. i can't provide more help then that, without knowing which card you have. you could also ask your manufacturer.
[19:11] <poisonkiller> magnetron: it seems like nothing is using memory, but 100% is still used :D
[19:12] <dissident> where to find channel for virtualbox
[19:12] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: i have a trick command that may shed some light, wana try it?
[19:12] <magnetron> poisonkiller: where did you read that ubuntu is using 100% of your ram?
[19:12] <mustafa> hlst0: ati radeon I think .. I have in 'restricted drivers' turned on the ati driver
[19:12] <poisonkiller> danbhfive: maybe, depends on that command :P
[19:13] <h1st0> mustafa: then it should be working try joining #compiz-fusion channel
[19:13] <h1st0> mustafa: they will be able to help you more.
[19:13] <poisonkiller> magnetron: under System Monitor, Resources
[19:13] <Linoman> magnetron: yes I'm aware of that, and i already try it, this is what i got from gateway website http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Q106/BladeK8F/6008038R/6008038Rmv.shtml and there i found realtek but i cant seem to find the model or maybe is not supported yet
[19:13] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: sudo echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches              some say its teh dangerous, but according to docs, and my experience, its fine
[19:13] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: type your password twice if you need to
[19:14] <mustafa> Linoman: your problem .. was it wireless device?
[19:14] <genii> spleencheesmonke: So it's a CardBus based rt2500 adapter then
[19:14] <spleencheesmonke> genii - indeed.
[19:14] <poisonkiller> danbhfive: what could it do, if it went wrong?
[19:14] <spleencheesmonke> ralink i think. ra0
[19:14] <Mauro__> Hi I have a problem with the installer
[19:14] <Linoman> yes it is, i guess the main problem is me because i cant find my wireless model so i can look for the libraries to make it work
[19:14] <kinections> the documentation here seems to be incorrect https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html. I cannot find the pacakage ntp-simple. however, ntp is available and installs ntpd
[19:14] <spleencheesmonke> was working fine up until the other day. like i said, not sure that i did anything to make it stop working
[19:15] <medfly> i got this floppy device that connects with a parallel port.. i wanna use it. do i mount it by mounting /dev/fd0, or do i need something different? (and what)
[19:15] <connected> excuse I want to play HABBO but apra nesecito it the Shockwave but is not compatible with linux. Is no algun compatible program with linux?
[19:15] <Mauro__> with gutsy, its not loading the mpt driver
[19:15] <neverblue> Mauro__, just state your question please, on a single line, thanks!
[19:15] <Mauro__> oh sorry
[19:15] <kinections> can anybody else confirm what I am seeing?
[19:15] <mustafa> Linoman: I had a similar problem .. solved it halfway yesterday .. I had a realtek 81-something ..
[19:15] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: well, supposedly, it could corrupt any unsaved files, but it specifically states that it won't do that.  Its part of the kernel, so if you are trusting enough to run linux, then you can probably trust the command
[19:16] <danbhfive> poisonkiller: sync will protect you though
[19:16] <Mauro__> Is there an option to load the mpt SAS driver at boot time while installing a server with 7.10?
[19:16] <Linoman> mustaga, what laptop do you have? this are the supported drivers for realtek https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsRealTek
[19:16] <holycow> hey guys
[19:16] <connected> excuse I want to play HABBO but apra nesecito it the Shockwave but is not compatible with linux. Is no algun compatible program with linux?

[19:17] <holycow> i have a box that gets a grub error 18 because there was a power failure.  it was working fine before that.  the normal thing is to reinstall grub at this poitn?

[19:33] <Blinkiz> nice
[19:33] <histo> frost0: Making a harddrive slave really doesn't matter.  I'm not sure I quite understand your idea.
[19:34] <Pici> Blinkiz: Or... if you're looking for a file within a package, apt-file search stuff.ext  (you'll need to install the apt-file package first)
[19:34] <histo> Blinkiz: linux-image-`uname -r`-server

[19:34] <Linoman> mustafa: read the readme from the website you gave me
[19:34] <Blinkiz> histo: Linux-image.. aha.. Nice command :)

[19:34] <dissident> can someone maybe tell me how to manage imgburn so i can use it in virtualbox
[19:34] <steveire> thanks pike_
[19:34] <frost0> histo, how?
[19:35] <pteague> i can't seem to get the server kernel to play nice with the nvidia driver :(
[19:35] <dissident> i managed it in opensuse but forgot how
[19:35] <histo> Blinkiz: thats the name of the package you would have to sudo apt-get install linux-image-`uname -r`-server
[19:35] <steveire> pike_: I'm not sure I get it though. Do I use localhost for host?
[19:35] <histo> Blinkiz: the uname -r should just pull your current kernel number if not you may have to put it in 2.6.22-14 or whatever.
[19:36] <frost0> histo, is it hard?
[19:36] <viktor> ubuntu gutsy gibbon is that the same as ubuntu gutsy? =)
[19:36] <histo> Blinkiz: yeah that wouldn't work you have to type ni the version number
[19:36] <histo> Blinkiz: so it would be sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22-14-server
[19:36] <pike_> steveire: so like scp username@servermachine:filename /local/copy/path
[19:36] <frost0> histo, please say its easy ? :)
[19:37] <histo> frost0: its not hard if you know what you are doing. There is documentation.
[19:37] <Blinkiz> histo: It's okay, I got the kernel. linux-image-2.6.22-14-server was the package
[19:37] <pike_> steveire: and just reverse putting local path first to move to server
[19:37] <Blinkiz> histo: Thank you for the help
[19:37] <frost0> histo, linkage por favor?
[19:37] <histo> frost0: basically you could plug in the other drive unplug the ubuntu drive and install windows.  That way you know its safe.  Then plug in the ubuntu drive and reinstall grub.
[19:37] <steveire> pike_: OK thanks. So I don't ssh in first? I run that as 'stephen' on my laptop?
[19:37] <histo> !dualboot > frost0,   frost0 Read the private message from ubotu.
[19:37] <frost0> histo, reinstall grub how?
[19:37] <histo> !grub > frost0,   frost0 Read the private message from ubotu.
[19:37] <pteague> so what's the max mem the non-server kernel can handle?
[19:38] <Blice> Hi. On the main menu, how can I have "Applications", "Places", and "System" say something else?
[19:38] <histo> pteague: something rediculus
[19:38] <foo-nix> how can is et xine to use the right audio device?
[19:38] <desertc> mustafa: I got it.  I need to select the text and the path first - then do the menu item
[19:38] <pike_> steveire: you dont need to.
[19:38] <pike_> steveire: yeah so at local machine
[19:39] <steveire> pike_: Ah nice. You even get tab completion :)
[19:39] <frost0> histo, how will i figure out if its hd0 or something else?
[19:39] <pteague> histo> hmm...  k, cause i'm having issues setting mem=4096m
[19:39] <golem_> acpitemp seems to always, always, always show my CPU at 40 deg C.  this can't be right
[19:39] <pteague> let me try again... i made some changes, brb
[19:40] <mustafa> I'm back .. the battery of my laptop ran out without me noticing it
[19:40] <Chafka> hi can i make remote login over web on ubuntu like on suse ??
[19:40] <mustafa> Linoman: still here? .. you had a q
[19:41] <histo> frost0: if you read the guide it should explain the numbering
[19:41] <frost0> histo, it doesnt :(
[19:41] <histo> frost0: you can look at your current grub config its in /boot/grub/menu.1st
[19:42] <Chafka> pls help me!!  can i make remote login over web on ubuntu like on suse ??
[19:42] <pingu_> !xine
[19:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xine - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:43] <frost0> histo, after i follow these instructions...i can choose right?
[19:43] <histo> Chafka: System > P_references > Remote Desktop
[19:43] <histo> frost0: yes you will be able to choose either windows or ubuntu on the grub menu.
[19:43] <spleencheesmonke> genii - still no luck :(
[19:43] <histo> frost0: assuming you set it up properly
[19:44] <frost0> histo, last question....:)....does it matter which cord i use for my next hd?
[19:44] <histo> frost0: not exactly you can have two ide drives on each cable.  You just have to set the jumpers on the back of the drive accordingly one master and one slave.
[19:45] <frost0> histo, k thx
[19:45] <wormer> locate windows
[19:45] <Blinkiz> My virtualbox says it needs to find the "build and header files". I have installed the correct header files. So what is the build files? I have installed build-essential
[19:45] <FullMon-T> I can't get my motorola Q to connect to my ubuntu box. Tried google... tried bluetooth. No avail.

[19:46] <Ballena> Is there a way to reload Bash so my chnages in ~/-bashrc will apply?
[19:46] <DiDKo> anybody can help me /

[19:47] <wormer> nice
[19:47] <Blinkiz> histo: Virtualbox is already installed. This is for the guest os that I have installed inside a virtualbox vm.
[19:47] <sburwood> anyone wanna help?  I have a Trust Scanner (Easy Webscan 19200) that isn't recognized.  I also have difficulty with my DVD burners since I've been downloading stuff at a cyber cafe
[19:47] <sburwood> I have gutsy
[19:47] <histo> Blinkiz: I'm not quite sure I understand your question then.
[19:48] <DiDKo> when i tri to load my fresh installed ubuntu it kicks me to the busy box ?
[19:48] <histo> Blinkiz: The guest os says it wants the header files? and the guest os is ubuntu?
[19:48] <Blinkiz> histo: Yeah
[19:48] <histo> Blinkiz: what are you trying to install int he guest os?
[19:49] <DiDKo> when i tri to load my fresh installed ubuntu it kicks me to the busy box ?
[19:49] <histo> !patience | DiDKo
[19:49] <ubotu> DiDKo: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[19:49] <Pici> !ttyerror | DiDKo
[19:49] <ubotu> DiDKo: If you get an error on boot similar to « /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off », you can try the fixes proposed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TTYError
[19:49] <Blinkiz> histo: Is the "Linux additions" that comes with vitualbox. It adds modules in the kernel do accelerate the VM without the need for hardware virtualization like Intels VT-x
[19:49] <histo> DiDKo: just give it a few minutes someone will get to you also you may want to post the error message you were getting.
[19:50] <glaxo> well that sort of worked (changing my UID) but I was locked out of my /home !
[19:50] <pteague> figured out my problem... was setting mem=4096 in grub/menu.list instead of mem=4096m
[19:50] <histo> Blinkiz: ahh no idea on how that works.  Make sure you have the headers for the kernel the vm is running.  And possibly ask the #virtualbox peeps
[19:51] <Danagin> whats the best ms exchange client to use for linux. Preferably something skinable with an outlook type of feel.
[19:51] <histo> !best | Danagin
[19:51] <ubotu> Danagin: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[19:51] <pike_> Danagin: i think eclipse will be your best bet
[19:52] <agsimeonov> Hey guys when I try to install the game Rune for Linux I get the following error:

[19:52] <agsimeonov> Can Anyone Help???
[19:52] <Danagin> ok ty
[19:52] <Blinkiz> histo: I got help from #vbox channel. I installed module-assistant and typed "sudo m-a prepare" in a console. It ten installed the right header and so on. Nice little tool
[19:52] <histo> Blinkiz: cool
[19:52] <Taggnostr> hello

[19:53] <Taggnostr> how can I update my ubuntu 6.06?
[19:53] <sburwood> anyone wanna be patient with me?
[19:53] <medfly> Blice, i'm trying... there;s a problem sincei'm using parallel port. i tried modprobe parport parport_pc.. still nothing ;)
[19:53] <sburwood> I'm a newbie ... I hope in a couple months to get ADSL
[19:53] <Omegacenti> Is SysVconfig still used or has it been replaced by something? Or should I just edit the rc init scripts myself?
[19:54] <histo> FullMon-T: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded
[19:54] <desertc> agsimeonov: That's a Loki game, right??
[19:54] <Taggnostr> I did both apt-get update/upgrade but there is nothing to update
[19:54] <agsimeonov> desertc: Yes indeed
[19:54] <dgjones> !upgrade > Taggnostr
[19:54] <Taggnostr> thanks
[19:54] <desertc> agsimeonov: Can you not find support on their forums?  You are a cash paying customer, and all.
[19:54] <CarlFK> mustafa: do you have a URL of an svg I can browse FF to?
[19:54] <agsimeonov> deserc: Haven't tried will do...
[19:55] <Omegacenti> Is SysVconfig still used or has it been replaced by something? Or should I just edit the rc init scripts myself?
[19:55] <njecto> hi there! I have been looking for a newbie friendly 2008 tutorial which explains how to enable injection on a Atheros 5212 chipset card on a laptop running Ubuntu
[19:56] <Flanger> sburwood: What's the problem?
[19:56] <histo> !startup > Omegacenti,   Omegacenti Read the private message from ubotu.
[19:56] <pteague> hmm... i thought i was supposed to be able to get larger than 1280x1024 on this... if i change it to 1640 or whatever it ends up doing the scrolling thing
[19:56] <histo> njecto: you need patched drivers the airodump site has some documentation.
[19:56] <Omegacenti> histo: I am actually trying to add a script before fstab tries to mount a network share.
[19:57] <histo> njecto: err aircrack-ng.org
[19:57] <desertc> agsimeonov: http://faqs.lokigames.com/runefaq.html
[19:57] <sburwood> I often have a problem when the computer boots.  Vertical lines and a "no input" message
[19:57] <sburwood> I can't burn DVDs and ... well that is enough ... also, I can't get my scanner recognized
[19:57] <histo> Omegacenti: no idea on where you would put it.  But i'm sure update-rc.d would do it
[19:58] <agsimeonov> desertc: Thanks
[19:58] <mustafa> carlfk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SVG.svg ... the image shown is PNG .. click on it and the SVG shows .. but firefox doesn't render SVG 100% correct .. as mentioned earlier .. export from withing Inkscape to PNG .. SVG as a format isn't very usable (yet)
 i have aircrack-ng already installed
[19:58] <njecto> but not the patches
[19:58] <Taggnostr> dgjones I tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades but when I do gksu "update-manager -c" it says that my system is up-to-date
[19:58] <mwe> njecto: but aircrack-ng.org has info about how to install a patched driver
[19:59] <krabador> someone can help me with an audio problem?
[19:59] <twistedbeatfreek> anyone know how i get websites to play flash, java videos ?
[19:59] <CarlFK> mustafa: so back to: is there an inkscape package?

[19:59] <CrazyWulf> Trying to install a new login theme.    It says I should drag/drop the file into the dgmsetup tool to install.....    Where can I find that?
[19:59] <pike_> !flashissue | twistedbeatfreek
[19:59] <ubotu> twistedbeatfreek: 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.
[19:59] <tuxix> hi, i would like to have a wifi access on my windows laptop (because i only have it on my linux laptop), so i did a "iwlist eth1 key" to get my wifi access key but it is in hexa and i don't know how to convert it into text so i can use it on my windows laptop
[19:59] <CrazyWulf> gdmsetuptool
[20:00] <sburwood> Flanger : I have a Trust Easy Webscan 19200.  I wanna scan alot of documents and put them on DVD rather than have all that paper
[20:00] <pike_> twistedbeatfreek: the 'official' fix will be a while
[20:00] <golem_> hey, i don't see opera in synaptic - do i need to add a particular repository?
[20:00] <MrObvious> tuxix: You're thinking ASCII or plaintext.
[20:00] <mwe> njecto: it's a bit outdated. the latest svn has injection support without the need for pathing
[20:00] <tuxix> plaintext, i think windows only accept plain text
[20:00] <mwe> njecto: patching even
[20:00] <mustafa> carlfk: you can use add/remove to install inkscape
[20:00] <Flanger> sburwood: Is it recognised?
[20:01] <mwe> njecto: svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk/ madwifi-ng
[20:01] <kashogi> hello yall  anyone need help setting up ftp
[20:01] <mwe> njecto: compile and install that after removing the ubuntu madwifi-ng
[20:01] <pike_> kashogi: are you sure you need ftp?  considered sftp?
[20:01] <kashogi> cant access outside LAN
[20:01] <mustafa> CarlfFK: it will show up in Applications -> Graphics ..
[20:01] <kashogi> sftp
[20:01] <MrObvious> tuxix: I'm not sure, but I just type in an alphanumeric character password all the time for my WPA encryption on both my downstairs Windows XP box and my Linux laptop, and it works fine. I use the Gnome built in networking programs too, using the little icon by the clock.
[20:02] <sburwood> Flanger : Xsane seems to want to do something with it but lacks something
[20:02] <pike_> !sftp | kashogi
[20:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sftp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:02] <benny269> anyone know how to stop window borders becoming FAT with huge lettering?
[20:02] <MrObvious> !ftpd > pike_
[20:02] <sburwood> I was using OpenSuse, but had other problems with that
[20:02] <mwe> njecto: but you'll probably need to hack udev too. info on aircrack-ng.org for that as well
[20:02] <CarlFK> mustafa: doh - din;t find IS the first time I looked...
[20:02] <kashogi> sftp cant access outside LAn
[20:02] <pike_> kashogi: basically if youve installed openssh-server you can use sftp instead its already setup. winscp is a handy client on windows for it
[20:03] <dho_ragus> pike_: he said that port 22 is locked down.
[20:03] <pike_> kashogi: you can listen on whatever port you want
[20:03] <MrObvious> benny269: My guess is you're using a huge font size or high contract theme. Try turning the font size or font DPI down.
 the doc you said it is outdated. now you say i have to compile and install after removing ubunu madwifi-ng BUT my question remains the same where is the newbie friendly 2008 tutorial???
[20:03] <mustafa> carlfk: no prob
[20:03] <pike_> kashogi: i use 443 to cut through most any network
[20:03] <Flanger> sburwood: ;) Sounds fun... I'll check some things
[20:03] <kashogi> how do i change that
[20:03] <tuxix> MrObvious: the problem is i didn't set the key and my housemate isn't around right now so he can't give me the wep key. thus i have to convert the key given by "iwlist eth1 key" in some format in order to use it on my windows laptop
[20:03] <kashogi> i run my server on my mac os x
[20:03] <mwe> njecto: just check out the driver and compile/install it. that's a nice howto :)
[20:03] <Breakage> Hi im having a prob with gnome-screensaver in xubuntu 7.10, i've set it to disable when idle and regard after 2 hours but it still wont disable. and i get a blank screen after some time. how do i disable it?
[20:03] <mustafa> carlffk: it is a really great vector graphic app .. use it all the time when designed websites
[20:03] <benny269> MrObvious: someone helped me download emerald which solved the problem but after restart it reverted? how to i change font and dpi?
[20:04] <pike_> kashogi: gksu gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config    there is a line like Port 22 yoiu can add another Port 443 line if ya want
[20:04] <sburwood> Flanger : I'd appreciate ... but I don't have much time on the net.
[20:04] <MrObvious> tuxix: Ahh I see. Google hex converter and it should pull it up.
[20:04] <pike_> kashogi: then just sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[20:04] <sburwood> Flanger : I could give you my e-mail address?
[20:04] <MrObvious> benny269: Try System -> Preferences -> Appearance.
[20:05] <warlock_> Hello
[20:05] <mwe> njecto: the rest of the document still applies. only the part about pathcing and getting a specific revision instead of the latest is outdated
[20:05] <kashogi> ok
[20:05] <warlock_> i need help with dmix in alsa i got 5.1 sound and this script in .asoundrc file http://pastebin.com/m5edf27cc
 the how does not tell you *in newbie friendly terms* which tools/packages you need before attempt to install the patches
[20:05] <kashogi> let me try that
[20:05] <njecto> will i need subeversion?
[20:05] <warlock_> help me please
[20:06] <mwe> njecto: build-essential and linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[20:06] <njecto> will i need subversion too?
[20:06] <evil666> Hi! Does anybody know if there are any drivers for Pinnacle devices for ubuntu?
[20:06] <Flanger> sburwood: What is the exact error you get?
[20:07] <mwe> njecto: after make & friends as suggested on the page
[20:07] <rotini> what kind of utils are available to edit runlevels?
[20:07] <mwe> njecto: yes obviously :)
[20:07] <mwe> njecto: to svn checkout
[20:07] <golem_> nevermind, i'm an idiot - there's opera in add/remove...   one star, heh
[20:07] <pteague> anybody know what i need to do to generate /dev/rtc ? i've got something that keeps complaining that it doesn't exist
[20:07] <rotini> scratch that, found it
[20:07] <mwe> njecto: but I don't know of a "nice 2008 tutorial"
[20:08] <njecto> svn checkout is mumbo jumbo to a newbie
[20:08] <mwe> njecto: however, if you do what I said it should work
[20:08] <sburwood> Flanger : I don't remember exactly, but saw something like that the last time I looked for information
[20:08] <sburwood> brb
[20:08] <mwe> njecto: but I told you the command
[20:08] <mwe> njecto: svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk/ madwifi-ng
[20:09] <mwe> njecto: it will put the source in a directory named madwifi-ng
[20:09] <mwe> njecto: open a terminal window and type the svn command and it will download the latest trunk
[20:10] <benny269> MrObvious: no all fonts set to 10
[20:10] <glaxo> does anybody know how to change my UID along with all associated permissions?
[20:10] <testfire> Hello everyone!
[20:10] <njecto> svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk/ madwifi-ng   do i execute that command as normal user or as root?
[20:10] <mwe> njecto: I'm sorry I don't think there is any "nice 2008 tutorial"
[20:10] <kashogi> kashogi: gksu gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config    there is a line like Port 22 yoiu can add another Port 443 line if ya want     pike cant do that on  mac os x terminal
[20:11] <testfire> glaxo:  System/Admin/Users and Groups/ ?
[20:11] <sburwood> Flanger : I get a message LIKE this one (I can't tell if it is the exact same one) 'artec_eplus48u:libusb:001:003'
[20:11] <glaxo> testfire, thanks for that but the uid section in users is greyed out
[20:11] <mwe> njecto: only change from a 2007 tutorial is not to patch it and get the latest trunk instead of a specific older revision
[20:12] <njecto> the output of the command you told me to execute is :  svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/madwifi/trunk'svn: PROPFIND of '/madwifi/trunk': Could not resolve hostname `svn.madwifi.org': No address associated with hostname (http://svn.madwifi.org)
[20:12] <testfire> glaxo:  Did you need to enter your root password in to open the User settings manager?
[20:12] <pike_> kashogi: i cant support osx :-)
[20:12] <glaxo> testfire, yes
[20:12] <Hattory> i'm trying to install wlan in my desktop pc.. i installed ndiswrapper and everything.. i see that iwconfig shows me eth1 instead of wlan0.. how to rename it?
[20:13] <Flanger> sburwood: Seems like Xsane doesn't support your scanner
[20:13] <mwe> njecto: you need a working internet connection on the computer you're using
[20:13] <pike_> kaminix: oh you mean remotely? try sudo nano instead
 i have a working internet connection on the computer
[20:13] <kaminix> Wrong highlight? :p
[20:13] <benny269> anyone know how to stop window borders appearing very large after a restart?
[20:13] <Flanger> sburwood: Check out this link http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/adding.html
[20:13] <mwe> njecto: it worked here right now. just checked
[20:14] <testfire> glaxo:  might want to try logging in a root and see if it works.
[20:14] <Blice> On the main menu, how can I have "Applications", "Places", and "System" say something else?
[20:15] <sburwood> Flanger : sounds complicated
[20:15] <mustafa> I have no sound here
[20:15] <sajes> why does gxine say "The xine engine failed to start. No demuxer found - stream format not recognised" when I try to play a dvd? (I have libdvdread3 installed)
[20:15] <asdasdsa> can there be a virus in linux?
[20:15] <Hattory> i'm trying to install wlan in my desktop pc.. i installed ndiswrapper and everything.. i see that iwconfig shows me eth1 instead of wlan0.. how to rename it?
[20:15] <dracula2> can there be a virus in linux?
[20:16] <mwe> njecto: svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk/ madwifi-ng <-- copy paste that. it will work if you have subversion and your internet is working
[20:16] <testfire> dracula2:  yes, but it would be very, very hard.
[20:16] <njecto> ok that command works. i have a madwifi-ng dir now  Do i need to install any patches?
[20:16] <bahadunn> what is needed to be in compliance with licenses and sell computers with ubuntu pre-installed?
[20:16] <mwe> njecto: I told you
[20:16] <Ertu> Hattory: mine shows eth1 as well and it works
[20:16] <mwe> njecto: two times. but again no :)
[20:16] <Flanger> sburwood: I never experienced a prob such as this, but it's just typing in 3-6 commands in the console.
[20:17] <sburwood> Flanger : I hope that that works ... So I need to download a driver and do something with a file *.c
[20:17] <njecto> ok

[20:17] <mwe> njecto: remove the ubuntu madwifi-ng, though
[20:17] <sburwood> Flanger : do you believe in divine intervention to help a newbie like me? ;)
[20:17] <Hattory> Ertu, anyway, where can i find that thing?
[20:17] <clearzen> dracula2: you're more likely to see things like logic bomb. the way user permission are set up make it very hard.
[20:17] <kbs> hello, I cant get my Vaio's sound working on Gutsy, I would appreciate any help
[20:17] <mwe> njecto: if you don't your custom driver will posibly be overwritten when you update ubuntu
[20:18] <releod> Does anyone know how I can share media from my ubuntu-desktop to my xbox 360?
[20:18] <Ertu> Hattory: have you configured your wireless connection with the gnome network app?
[20:18] <clearzen> releod: samba?
[20:19] <testfire> dracula2:  because the way the Linux is setup with permissions and such it makes it extremely hard for one to do anything.
[20:19] <dracula2> clearzen what is a logic bomb?
[20:19] <njecto> i did execute as root : ifconfig ath0 down  and ifconfig wifi0 down    but iwconfig still lists ath0     is that OK?
[20:19] <releod> clearzen: any links I can read? I enabled samba sharing, but my xbox360 does not see the shares, or at least I do not know how to tell it to see the shares..
[20:19] <twistedbeatfreek> anyone know how to make the winbdows catch on fire when minimizing them ?
[20:19] <Hattory> Ertu, yes i did, it's recognised.. but it gives me error when i try to ifup eth1
[20:19] <testfire> twistedbeatfreek:  install the compiz plugin.
[20:19] <clearzen> dracula2: it is a process that uses all available resources (cpu, ram) until the box is restarted basically.
[20:20] <mwe> njecto: yes if ifconfig doesn't
[20:20] <star1> Does anyone know how I could shrink an ext3 partition at /dev/sdb2 ?
[20:20] <twistedbeatfreek> testfire: whats it called?
[20:20] <Ertu> Hattory: what kind of error?
[20:20] <spleencheesmonke> help with wireless networking please.  card seems to have stopped working.  device is active, but will not connect. /car/log/syslog comes up with some interesting stuff : "Old device 'ra0' activating, won't change." anyone able to help?
[20:20] <kbs> anyone know how to get sound working on Gutsy? it used to work on feisty
[20:20] <JDLimbo> start have you tried using gparted?
[20:20] <njecto> plain ifconfig does not  but ifconfig -a   does!
[20:20] <sburwood> Flanger : I don't see my scanner in the list ...Easy Webscan Gold is not mine./ Compact Scan USB 19200 isnt it.
[20:20] <testfire> I'm not sure if there is one, I assume there is one, I know there is one in beryl, but not sure about compiz, let me google it..
[20:20] <clearzen> dracula2: or you could set it up to drop databases etc when certain conditions are met
[20:20] <mats_> flash doesnt work in Ubuntu
[20:20] <sburwood> Mine is called Easy Webscan 19200
[20:21] <mwe> mats_: really?
[20:21] <mats_> yes
[20:21] <star1> JDLibo: Yes, but it seems it can't resize an ext3 partition by changing its start point
[20:21] <mwe> mats_: I guess I'm imagining things then
[20:21] <testfire> mats_:  Install the restricted extras in the add/remove utility.
[20:21] <dracula2> clearzen is clamav the best virus scanner for linux? and are you a woman?
[20:21] <njecto> do i remove the atheros pcmcia card?
[20:21] <mats_> ??????
[20:22] <mats_> testfire restricted extras?
[20:22] <star1> JDLimbo: Plus all the partitions show up with little lock symbols next to them in gparted, but I just assumed that's because they were mounted at the time
[20:22] <sburwood> thanks ... Flanger ...
[20:22] <Sebaot> I need some help with ubuntu...
[20:22] <sburwood> gotta go home

[20:23] <pike_>  !flashissue | mats_
[20:23] <ubotu> mats_: 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.
[20:23] <desertc> kbs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930
[20:23] <desertc> mats_: GNASH is an alternative
[20:23] <clearzen> dracula2: you can use that or avg. But it doesn't matter unless you are sharing files with windows systems. And no. :p
[20:23] <Sebaot> I recently installed ubuntu 7.10 for the first time and when I downloaded and installed all updates i restarted the computer by mistake

[20:23] <Flanger> sburwood: You might want to try it. Or if you're not comfortable with it, search in newsgroups if someone else had that same problem. (probably someone did and figured it out ;)). They're searchable in google groups
[20:23] <cookie> hello everybody
[20:23] <pike_> Sebaot: so its not booting correctly anymore?
[20:23] <dracula2> clearzen i installed clam av where can i locate it now?

[20:24] <mats_> bot had for me
[20:24] <Sebaot> pike_: and I have never used linux before so I am pretty lost
[20:24] <cookie> it has to do with the size of the video(height and width) and the frames per second
[20:25] <mwe> I don't have any flash issue. I guess because i just download the file from adobe and installed it myself
[20:25] <cookie> don't know how to set it up to be in sync.

[20:27] <DRebellion> Sebaot: back up /home and reinstall ?
[20:28] <testfire> twistedbeatfreek:  wait a second, it's there. install the advanced desktop effects manager and go down to the effects/animations, it's in there and is called burn.
[20:29] <Sebaot> DRebellion: And how do I do that the best way? I have never used linux before.
[20:29] <benny269> anyone help fix flash player?
[20:29] <DRebellion> Sebaot: but you're using it now ;)

[20:30] <glaxo> can anyone help me with changing my UID and all associated permissions?
[20:30] <Sebaot> DRebellion: Yes, and i intend to migrate from WinXP :)
[20:30] <DRebellion> Sebaot: if you have any important files/documents in /home copy them over to a memory stick or something. then just reinstall to get back to the way it was. (nice and fresh)
[20:30] <distatica> hi folks, what is the rule on Ubuntu Forums for raising the dead? I notice a post regarding Belkin Wireless-G card model F5D9010 returns as a first match on Google, the post is unanswered, but I have updated information. Do I start a new thread, do I respond to that one and raise the dead? I can't find anything on the forums through searching 'raise dead' (at least nothing that seems to tell me what to do), and I don't have all day to look arou
[20:31] <Chafka> will someone help me?
[20:31] <Pici> !helpme
[20:31] <ubotu> Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[20:31] <spleencheesmonke>  help with wireless networking please.  card seems to have stopped working.  device is active, but will not connect. /var/log/syslog comes up with some interesting stuff : "Old device 'ra0' activating, won't change." anyone able to help?  pastebin: http://pastebin.com/d29b3d1d9

[20:33] <boubbin> pike_ thanks
[20:33] <rich__> guys i did a distro-upgrade and now my battery doesnt work
[20:33] <JDLimbo> star1, try burning a gparted liveCD and using that instead
[20:33] <rekon> distatica: im not sure exactly what there rules are about raising dead topics, but i've done it many times in the past to add more information and never had an problems.
[20:33] <distatica> boubbin: If you have a specific model in mind, you could also search it on Google and see if anyone else has experiences with it, I do that before purchasing any device. I imagine you likely already knew this, just saying in case you didn't.
[20:33] <Chafka> why when i click add acount on pidgin i don't have option to choose xmpp accout ????
[20:33] <distatica> rekon: ok, thank you.
[20:33] <distatica> nothing seems to suggest it's taboo, but I've been banned from places before over it.
[20:34] <pteague> anybody know why i might be getting this error? the file exists & everybody has read permissions - "Parallels Workstation encountered a problem with the /dev/rtc device. This may be caused by one of the following reasons: (1) you do not have proper system permissions, (2) the device is not found in your host PC, (3) the device is used by another process. The absence of /dev/rtc device may downgrade VM performance and make internal timers
[20:34] <pteague>  slow."
[20:34] <distatica> (Not that I care there, I run Debian ;)
[20:34] <bcardarella> Is there a reason why Ubuntu is only reporting that I have 3GB of RAM when I know I have 4? I did the memory test available at the GRUB menu and it ran 5 times. No errors, and the test had all 4 GBs available.
[20:34] <Starnestommy> Chafka: try asking in #pidgin.  They may be able to provide a better answer.
[20:34] <Starnestommy> bcardarella: is it a 64-bit or 32-bit install?
[20:35] <Oli``> Anyone know how to get speaker-test to work with pulseaudio (or know another app that does the same job for pulse)?
[20:35] <JDLimbo> star1, try burning a gparted liveCD and using that instead, should take care of the ownership problem
[20:35] <bcardarella> Starnestommy: I'm pretty certain it is 32... can u-name report that?
[20:35] <Oli``> bcardarella: because you're running in 32bit mode
[20:35] <bcardarella> Oh, it has a limit?
[20:35] <pteague> bcardarella> modify the /boot/grub/menu.lst to have mem=4096m
[20:36] <Oli``> bcardarella: yeah... 32bit caps out at 3
[20:36] <Oli``> hmm
[20:36] <pteague> you still won't get the full 4gb, but i think you'll get more than not listing it
[20:36] <bcardarella> Okay, that makes sense. Thanks

[20:38] <ivan_> hello- some time back someone gave me a link to a good site to help configure a virtual server in apache2
[20:39] <ivan_> can anyone help?
[20:39] <vwbusguy> leetdood: X -reconfigure
[20:39] <leetdood> then i had a choice of showing detailed X output, or not, and after that was console
[20:39] <vwbusguy> leetdood: try X - reconfigure and try the Xorg.conf it puts out
[20:39] <BFCPP> Hello does anybody know a good chat for scripting ?
[20:39] <vwbusguy> leetdood: if that works, move that to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:40] <vwbusguy> leetdood: make sure to rename the old xorg.conf first
[20:40] <leetdood> just 'x -reconfigure'? and how do i use the xorg.conf? (sorry, really new at using ubuntu)
[20:40] <ivan_> any one here use ebox?
[20:40] <Starnestommy> leetdood: the X is capital
[20:40] <vwbusguy> leetdood: capital X
[20:40] <leetdood> ah, ok
[20:40] <kane77> do newly installed gnome applets show in the add applet menu rightaway or is it necessary to restart the panel?
[20:40] <vwbusguy> leetdood: then "xstart (new xorg.conf listed when you ran X -reconfigure)"
[20:41] <leetdood> alright, thanks, I'll do that
[20:42] <vwbusguy> leetdood: if that doesn't work, use dpkg to reconfigure your X, it's more options and more things to know, but it's another tool there for you
[20:42] <tyranos> hello everyone i tried updating my nvidia drivers in gutsy but i cannott edit xorg.conf anymore as everytime this failsafe mode comes and resets everything

[20:53] <Brandon_> Exteris, hmm interesting another program which is vital but isn't in the default installation. VIM and SSH, I'll have to look up why that is sometime
[20:53] <rekon> cookie: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-597783.html , I know its not much but have you tried disabling compiz while you record?
[20:53] <poningru_> pteague, just do /etc/init.d/udev restart
[20:54] <poningru_> Brandon_, both are installed
[20:54] <Exteris> Brandon_, on any new system i install vim, it really is much better
[20:54] <poningru_> Brandon_, not ssh server though
[20:54] <DRebellion> Brandon_: i guess the average user just doesn't want a shell anymore :(
[20:54] <Exteris> but to the why, i am puzzled
[20:54] <Brandon_> I'm using server version that might be why
[20:54] <herbaliser> hi can anybody tell me what the trackerd process is?
[20:54] <poningru_> Exteris, vim is installed its just in vi mode
[20:55] <poningru_> turn vi mode off
[20:55] <poningru_> and bam!
[20:55] <faithful_one> DRebellion: ur right... and i don't understand that either
[20:55] <pteague> hmm...  that still doesn't seem to help :(  doing `sudo hwclock --debug --show` still returns "hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=16: Device or resource busy."
[20:55] <herbaliser> it is taking a lot of cpu
[20:55] <faithful_one> DRebellion: shell is very powerful
[20:55] <poningru_> !trackerd
[20:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about trackerd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[20:55] <Brandon_> poningru_, nah I had to actually install it. Might just be the server version
[20:55] <Brandon_> keep it slim I guess
[20:56] <poningru_> Brandon_, no dude what you installed was VIM full

[21:00] <NMajik> I think I'm going crazy. I bought a new hard drive, it came formatted as NTFS. No problem, I use gparted to make it FAT32.  I make a folder on it, but regardless of what I try I cannot change the permissions for the folder. What other information do you need?

[21:01] <vwbusguy> khaotik: what problem are you having with openoffice
[21:01] <khaotik> is there a way i can save a file into tab delimited format
[21:01] <leetdood> if you get the same result in windows it's probably not a ubuntu problem
[21:01] <DRebellion> boinker: how did you install flash?
[21:01] <NMajik> DRebellion: "chmod 777 downloads" simply acts like I pressed enter. The permissions don't change but no error is thrown (I'm running as root currently)

[21:02] <Hazarath> Let's try this... I'm trying to convert an MKV file over to AVI, I keep getting errors. Help?
[21:02] <oreth|> ...
[21:02] <oreth|> hrm
[21:02] <oreth|> you could save as csv
[21:03] <oreth|> then run a python script on it to convert to tab delimited
[21:03] <poningru_> Hazarath, does converting another file work?
[21:03] <oreth|> but other than that...
[21:03] <oreth|> i don't believe you can save as tab delimited
[21:03] <oreth|> hold on a second
[21:03] <poningru_> edit that script and look for parameter and change that to some other codec
[21:03] <khaotik> i tried that but then when i uplad my sheet to the server i see all the double quote marks in my description field
[21:03] <Hazarath> poningru, Only have one file currently. I have the full error here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53078/
[21:04] <Jack_Sparrow> oreth|: I thought csv was a delimited file
[21:04] <Exteris> Jack_Sparrow, isnt it Comma Separated Value
[21:04] <oreth|> khaotik: Don't you get a dialogue that lets you choose the delimiting character?
[21:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Exteris: agreed, but a delimited file is a delimted file...
[21:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Exteris: If they use tabs or commas same dif

I have tried installing the drivers again and tinkering with the xorg.conf, but i haven't had any luck. it's a first gen core2duo macbook
[21:06] <Exteris> Jack_Sparrow, i wasnt really conversating too
[21:06] <Tyczek> I just want to ask, do you have problems with video scalling on playing movies with ati fglrx? It freezes and video in not synced with audio...
[21:06] <PSPJunkie> it's got an intel integrated card
[21:06] <khaotik> it's not the pipe character?
[21:06] <Jack_Sparrow> glaxo: does the old mount point still existit in /media
[21:06] <Exteris> PSPJunkie, dont you have an Xorg.conf backup
[21:07] <glaxo> Jack_Sparrow, nope, it was never mounted under media
[21:07] <PSPJunkie> I have various backups, but none of them work. I've tried all of them
[21:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Exteris: np should not be hard for them to figure it out
[21:07] <zhaz> Anyone know how to install a virtual ubuntu under xen?

Sometimes sounds get garbled, sometimes i get no sound at all and sometimes when I get sound the sounds in game that are supposed to be farther away sound closer and vice versa
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> glaxo: what mount points do you see in media?
[21:08] <glaxo> Jack_Sparrow, cdrom, cdrom0, crypt
[21:08] <Exteris> zhaz, can't zen boot from cdrom?
[21:09] <Hazarath> poningru_, any ideas?
[21:09] <pteague> anybody have any ideas on this 1?  doing `sudo hwclock --debug --show` returns "hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=16: Device or resource busy."
[21:09] <Exteris> or you could image it with a ubuntu livecd
[21:09] <NMajik> I bought a new hard drive, it came formatted as NTFS. No problem, I use gparted to make it FAT32.  I make a folder on it, but regardless of what I try I cannot change the permissions for the folder. What other information do you need? (DRebellion seems to have left)
[21:09] <zhaz> Exteris No
[21:09] <cdecarlo> khaotik: you figure it out yet?
[21:09] <robobob> hey im getting download speeds of like 0.3kbs how do i find out wts killing my speed
[21:10] <Ademan> anyone know if the "xorg-dev" package is "xlib" ?
[21:10] <kikr> omg ubuntu lags
[21:10] <pteague> NMajik> try setting UID &/or GID in /etc/fstab when you mount it
[21:11] <sinnus> what options should I add to /etc/fstab to allow mounting samba shares for simple user. now I can mount only from root
[21:11] <Hazarath> Need help converting MKV into an AVI, tried with a script, but, it fails. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[21:11] <Ademan> Hazarath: you could certainly do it with mencoder.  by the way do you have the restricted codecs installed? because not having those would definitely screw a script up
[21:11] <NMajik> pteague: What exactly does that mean?
[21:12] <david---> windows is the best?
[21:12] <dtolj> david---: i second that
[21:12] <khaotik> sorry, got a couple phone calls
[21:12] <david---> whats "second"?
[21:12] <khaotik> stilll aint tried it yet
[21:12] <Switch^> do compiz and wine conflict?
[21:12] <Hazarath> Ademan, I'll look that up in package manager. I do have the 'nasty' codecs installed, it give out an odd error as seen here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53078/
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Switch^: Only if you are trying to run games under wine
[21:13] <david---> deutsche
[21:13] <Vermux_> when logging out the screen is transfered to terminal 8. and tty7 has a blinking dash
[21:13] <david---> überall
[21:13] <pteague> NMajik> /etc/fstab is the file that's used to figure out what hard drives get mounted to what places...  if you're having that drive mounted at boot that's probably where it's being set... & the reason you can't change ownership or permissions on the directory is because fat32 has no clue what ownership or file permissions are
[21:13] <Vermux_> can somebody help me?
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Switch^: #compiz has the best information on that
[21:13] <david---> wont i get kicked for spamming?
[21:13] <Vermux_> Im running kubuntu Gusty
[21:14] <david---> nobody is listening
[21:14] <david---> lol

[21:15] <Achoth> Have anyone been able to make Steam + Steam friends work on Ubuntu?
[21:15] <Hazarath> Ademan, That's the first thing I do is get the restricted drivers. Heh. So, this thing you told me to get have a GUI?
[21:16] <TJjj> erawfish: it says E: could not open lock file ?var/lib/dpkg - (13 permissions denied)
[21:16] <Ademan> Hazarath: unfortunately no, but I think there are some frontends to it, lemme see if i can find any
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> TJjj: That usually means you have a second package manager open
[21:16] <pteague> NMajik> close, you'll need to use the UID number & GID number of your username/groupname ...  if you're the only user on the system i believe you're UID & GID are both 1000, let me check
[21:16] <erawfish> TJjj: you can only installs tuff with sudo

[21:16] <malebria> When I go in Tools -> Add-ons, I can't see it on the list.

[21:17] <malebria> I'm using gutsy gibbon.
[21:17] <NMajik> pteague: Eh, I may or may not be. How do I check?
[21:17] <TJjj> wow it worked. Thanks!
[21:17] <glaxo> pteague, do you know how I can change my UID and associated permissions?
[21:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !uuid
[21:17] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[21:17] <AdamBright> Ok i was reading all the linux on xbox 1 stuff but its all horribly out of date, has anyone gotten a recent version of (k)ubuntu working on the xbox, say gutsy?
[21:19] <Ademan> Hazarath: so far no good, there's acidrip but that's specifically for ripping dvds.  http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mencoder_Introduction_Guide   is a guide for using mencoder from the command line, if all else fails i guess you could use that
[21:19] <abo> is there an advanced tool to capture snapshot for ubuntu?
[21:19] <phaedral> googled "evolution bottom post", got back "bottom posting is harmful".  wtf?

[21:19] <abo> nemilar screenshots
[21:19] <nemilar> abo: just press your print screen key
[21:20] <abo> yeah.. this captures the whole screen
[21:20] <benanzo> Hazarath: have you tried avidemux?
[21:20] <nemilar> to get just the focus'd window, alt+prntscreen
[21:20] <Stone_age> Ok, what the heck is the default mysql user and password?
[21:20] <nemilar> Stone_age: root / no password I believe
[21:21] <abo> nemilar, this captures the whole screen (or with alt+screenshot for a window) I want something more advanced where I can capture a given square or circle
[21:21] <Stone_age> I tried that
[21:21] <benanzo> this command will convert to avi: mencoder FILE.mkv -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o FILE.avi

[21:23] <cdecarlo> juri: are you the same juri from the symfony chat?
[21:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo | TJjj
[21:23] <ubotu> TJjj: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[21:23] <nemilar> Stone_age: that explains how to set the root mysql password
[21:23] <juri> cdecarlo: Yeap :)
[21:24] <PriceChild> Stone_age, you set a password on the database when you set it up?
[21:24] <cdecarlo> I wonder how much that kind of overlap happens
[21:24] <PriceChild> Stone_age, try again, but with a "-p" flag. it will then ask for your password when needed.

[21:26] <thedjatclubrock> Jack_Sparrow: I believe either 256 or 512
[21:26] <Ponderings> nano please give more info, wireless or ethernet?
[21:26] <nemilar> PriceChild: that bot-message is hysterical
[21:27] <faithful_one> Vermux: can u get at a terminal?
[21:27] <nano__> both wireless and ethernet
[21:27] <PriceChild> nemilar, there's a few goldens in there :)
[21:27] <cdecarlo> juri: sorry, I'm got on the ubuntu train at 7.04
[21:27] <Vermux> faithful_one: yes
[21:27] <Ponderings> nano use ethernet if you
[21:27] <PriceChild> nano__, what doesn't work?
[21:27] <nano__> it works with with the wired and wireless at my school...
[21:27] <PriceChild> nano__, what doesn't work?
[21:27] <Jack_Sparrow> thedjatclubrock: If using shared video ram, be careful how much you allow to be set aside.. it could cut you short
[21:27] <cdecarlo> juri: isn't there a package?
[21:27] <faithful_one> Vermux: have u looked at dmesg?
[21:27] <Vermux> faithful_one: no, how?
[21:27] <NMajik> pteague: Got it working, thanks for your help!
[21:27] <Vermux> faithful_one: the computer is booted with the dvd now
[21:27] <Ponderings> nano so wireless prob, what device are you using?
[21:28] <PriceChild> Ponderings, he said it didn't work with ethernet either....
[21:28] <dr-spangle> I have downloaded the ubuntu installer from the site, do I burn the .iso file to the CD or do I extract the files then burn?
[21:28] <faithful_one> type in "dmesg"
[21:28] <pteague> NMajik> np, glad i could help... i'm usually asking questions =)
[21:28] <PriceChild> dr-spangle, you don't burn the iso as a file on a data disc
[21:28] <Flare183> dr-spangle: burn then boot
[21:28] <PriceChild> !iso
[21:28] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[21:28] <thedjatclubrock> Jack_Sparrow: How do I do that
[21:28] <nano__> Ponderings: I believe the router is by aztech sytems
[21:28] <PriceChild> !install
[21:28] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[21:28] <Flare183> dr-spangle: extract files, burn files, boot from cd
[21:28] <mous16> hi to all...I've a d-link dwa-645 pcmcia wireless card. it needs tha madwifi driver. this driver is included in ubuntu or I've to compile from source?
[21:28] <joe_> My printer shows up in the window "Configure - KDE Control Module" and when I try to print a document, it shows up. Also there is a little printer up near my clock and it shows the status fo print jobs. BUT nothing prints even though the status windwo says its complete. what could be causing this?
[21:28] <nano__> it worked twice, randomly, but only for about 5 minutes
[21:28] <PriceChild> dr-spangle, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[21:28] <dr-spangle> @Flare183: thanks :D
[21:29] <Flare183> dr-spangle: no problem

[21:29] <benanzo> basically "DO this as SUPER-USER"
[21:29] <nano__> Ponderings: keeps timing out.
[21:29] <PriceChild> nano__, what doesn't work?
[21:29] <Ponderings> nano if it doesn't work with cable, then you have probs :p
[21:29] <Jack_Sparrow> thedjatclubrock: Check bios/cmos  see how much ram is reserved for video..  Make sure it doesnt say something like 64megs
[21:29] <thedjatclubrock> Thanks
[21:29] <mwe> extracting the files and burning wont create a bootable CD
[21:29] <nano__> PriceChild: the laptop with the router
[21:29] <Ponderings> nano type ifconfig, do you have an ip on device eth*
[21:29] <Vermux> faithful_one: ok, what I suppose to look for. it looks fine
[21:29] <PriceChild> nano__, what doesn't work about it? How do you know it isn't working?
[21:29] <Flare183> mwe: it will if you burn the right files
[21:29] <Shuggle> I think my gpu offers cpu scaling. is there any way to change this?
[21:30] <PriceChild> Flare183, please give the link i gave in future
[21:30] <Flare183> PriceChild: gotcha
[21:30] <Jack_Sparrow> thedjatclubrock: Some of those older machines really take their time.  but if you are convinced it locked up.. check shared video ram
[21:30] <faithful_one> Vermux: there's no hardware issues in there?
[21:30] <ThipThip> Hey are there any virtualbox users in here?
[21:30] <Jack_Sparrow> thedjatclubrock: I would also suggest looking at the ubuntu supported hardware page.
[21:30] <nano__> Ponderings: looks so
[21:30] <Vermux> faithful_one: I founf something: [drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* process 8060 using kernel context 0
[21:30] <Shuggle> erm.... my gpu offers frequency scaling. is there a way to change the frequency setting?
[21:31] <LinAsH> ThipThip, yes...
[21:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ThipThip: Yes, but we get out help from #Vbox
[21:31] <nemilar> I wish people would stop telling people that "sudo" and "su" stand for "super user..."
[21:31] <dr-spangle> @Flame183: It says that you get a ISO recorder or Infra recorder and burn the ISO to disc
[21:31] <Vermux> faithful_one: I suspect there is. I have winxp installed on the computer as well. the comp. use to freeze
[21:31] <subtlecluesblues> Im trying to watch a DVD with mplayer with "mplayer dvd://". But nothing happens.
[21:31] <Ponderings> nano ok, well stick with cable for now, if your device is listed with an ip you're getting somewhere, do you know the ip of your router? it might be in the manual perhaps 192.168.0.1, but just type ping and then the ip
[21:31] <subtlecluesblues> how do you watch a dvd?
[21:31] <Vermux> I installed kubuntu a week ago as well and it didnt freeze on me since then
[21:31] <Vermux> faithful_one: ^
[21:31] <mwe> !dvd

[21:31] <faithful_one> Vermux: we won't go into windows issues, there are too many ;)
[21:31] <dr-spangle> @Flame183: Can I just extract the files using winrar and burn them normally?
[21:31] <nano__> PriceChild: The connection is just timing out all the time...
[21:32] <Vermux> faithful_one: but everything with kubuntu was fine
[21:32] <PriceChild> nano__, when browsing the internet?
[21:32] <PriceChild> nano__, in firefox?
[21:32] <mwe> dr-spangle: please use a program like nero or something and choose burn iso
[21:32] <Vermux> faithful_one: now, Im trying to reinstall kubuntu and I got the error message I told u
[21:32] <faithful_one> Vermux: ok, have u tried updating the kubuntu system thru the internet?
[21:32] <Ponderings> nano actually forget that, if it get's an ip the connection the router is not too bad, it might be that the router is dead, i personnaly see this as a router issue
[21:33] <Ponderings> nano i mean dying*
[21:33] <Vermux> no, I donwloaded and burned the ISO file from Kubuntu
[21:33] <faithful_one> Vermux: "sudo apt-get update"
[21:33] <PriceChild> dr-spangle, mwe, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[21:33] <PriceChild> dr-spangle, mwe, that gives a link for a free burning program on windows
[21:34] <Vermux> faithful_one: how will it update the dvd?
[21:34] <Ponderings> nano changing clients, i'll be on as azexian in a sec...
[21:34] <faithful_one> Vermux: it won't, it'll update ur system directly
[21:34] <Vermux> faithful_one: I booted the comp. from the dvd
[21:34] <Flare183> !upgrade | Vermux
[21:34] <ubotu> Vermux: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[21:34] <CyberGabber> nano__: Make your router powerless for about > 1-2 minutes, then retry again. Most of the times that will solve this kind of router-issues
[21:34] <azexian> nano ok...
[21:34] <PriceChild> nano__ answering my questions would get you answers a *lot* quicker.
[21:34] <Vermux> faithful_one: the reason I want to reinstall kubuntu are not connected to the issue that I have now
[21:35] <ThipThip> I'm having a problem with VirtualBox.  To put it simply:  It just freezes.  Just a little green cursor.
[21:35] <DjViper> PriceChild: he dropped
[21:35] <Flare183> ThipThip: then report it to launchpad
[21:35] <Stone_age> I've set up mysql so many times on different distro's without ever having a problem like this. The one time I use apt to install it, I get locked out. None of those fixes at mysql A-B help.
[21:35] <PriceChild> DjViper, pardon?
[21:35] <PriceChild> nano__ answering my questions would get you answers a *lot* quicker.
[21:35] <CyberGabber> ThipThip: Go to irc-channel #vbox , they can help better
[21:35] <nano__> Sorry got disconnected.
[21:35] <Taggnostr> how could I see the space used/available of the disks?
[21:35] <DjViper> PriceChild: * nano__ has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[21:35] <Vermux> faithful_one: I had to many problems with kubuntu after I installed it that I may caused. Im trying to reinstall kubuntu- format the partition and reinstall it
[21:35] <subtlecluesblues> the DVD page says: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[21:36] <PriceChild> DjViper, yes.. right after my message to him...
[21:36] <subtlecluesblues> but that shellscript is not on my computer.
[21:36] <azexian> taggnostr either system monitor, or df -h
[21:36] <PriceChild> DjViper, why do you need to tell me that?
[21:36] <Taggnostr> ok, thanks
[21:36] <DjViper> PriceChild: nevermind :)
[21:36] <faithful_one> Vermux: ok, have u already formatted that partition?
[21:36] <azexian> taggnostr np
[21:36] <azexian> nano did you get the router from the isp?
[21:36] <PriceChild> nano__, are you still experiencing the problem?
[21:36] <nano__> PriceChild: The connection is timing out at home, it works fine at school though
[21:36] <Flare183> !libdvdread3 | subtlecluesblues
[21:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libdvdread3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:36] <Flare183> wha!
[21:36] <nano__> azexian: yes
[21:36] <Vermux> no, after I booted the computer from the dvd I got the error message I wrote u
[21:37] <Vermux> faithful_one: ^
[21:37] <Flare183> !dvd | subtlecluesblues
[21:37] <ubotu> subtlecluesblues: 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
[21:37] <Flare183> there
[21:37] <Vermux> faithful_one: then, I asked u guys what to do
[21:37] <faithful_one> Vermux: ok, and u do have a backup o/s on ur system, right?
[21:37] <nano__> PriceChild: no?
[21:37] <nano__> PriceChild: hmmm
[21:37] <PriceChild> nano__, do you see the "network manager" applet up top right, near the clock and volume? It looks like a bar chart or computer screens.
[21:37] <azexian> nano in that case they will probably replace it, if you connect to the router it is VERY unlikely to be an issue with the software, unless you have a dead ethernet port, you could try asking for a new one perhaps, unless it works on other os?
[21:37] <Moduliz0r> how do I install and use tor?
[21:37] <Vermux> faithful_one: yes, I have win xp
[21:38] <PriceChild> nano__, Does that tell you that you are connected? or does the blue thing just keep going round and round.
[21:38] <Vermux> faithful_one: I have kubuntu too that I want to delete and reinstall
[21:38] <PriceChild> azexian, lets not jump to conclusions.
[21:38] <Flare183> !tor | Moduliz0r
[21:38] <ubotu> Moduliz0r: TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg
[21:38] <nano__> PriceChild: Seems to actuall be working now, what did you do?
[21:38] <Moduliz0r> thanks
[21:38] <dracula2> ey how can i install another distro (zenwalk) along with ubuntu without burning a cd?
[21:38] <Flare183> Moduliz0r: no problem
[21:38] <mwe> Stone_age: so you can't log on to mysql on your local host, or is it remote?
[21:38] <faithful_one> Vermux: ok, then if ur running kubuntu from the dvd, then u should be able to just format the partition from there
[21:38] <azexian> pricechild ubuntu support for ethernet is huge, and the isp will replace it, I don't see any risk
[21:38] <nano__> PriceChild: It always showed a signal, its just when loading a page the connection timed out
[21:38] <PriceChild> azexian, you have *no* idea what the problem is... you're jumping to conclusions.
[21:38] <azexian> nano ah...
[21:38] <faithful_one> Vermux: then reboot with the dvd and it should go on normally
[21:39] <PriceChild> nano__, but it is working now.
[21:39] <PriceChild> ?
[21:39] <Vermux> faithful_one: right. but Im telling u that I got error message from kdedesktop
[21:39] <dr-spangle> @Flame183 or mwe: It said "A write error occured. Failed to write lead-in."

[21:39] <leprasmurf> hello all, I'm trying to enable nvidia tv out.  I've already tried enabling it by the docs at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOut, but I'm still seeing a screen full of green and multicolored blocks
[21:39] <azexian> child*
[21:39] <nano__> PriceChild: strangely, though it is slow
[21:39] <PriceChild> azexian, you were also missing the point that it wasn't working with wireless OR wired.
[21:39] <Vermux> faithful_one: it says:"the process for the media protocol died unexcpectedly
[21:39] <Vermux> "
[21:39] <PriceChild> nano__, wireless?
[21:39] <Vermux> faithful_one: what does it mean?
[21:39] <azexian> pricechild yes, but that makes it even more likely to be a router issue
[21:39] <Flare183> dr-spangle: not good could either be the drive or the cd itself
[21:39] <joe_> My printer shows up in the window "Configure - KDE Control Module" and when I try to print a document, it shows up. Also there is a little printer up near my clock and it shows the status fo print jobs. BUT nothing prints even though the status windwo says its complete. what could be causing this?
[21:39] <faithful_one> Vermux: when i get errors from my desktop, i just work around them thru the terminal
[21:40] <PriceChild> azexian, and sending it back is really a last resort.
[21:40] <Flare183> joe_: wrong driver
[21:40] <Vermux> faithful_one: but does this error imlpy on hardware problem?
[21:40] <azexian> pricechild they will give him a better one, seems like a pretty good solution to me
[21:40] <nano__> PriceChild: though it did work last night for about 5 minutes so i'm not going to conclude that everythings alright yet
[21:40] <joe_> Flare183: dude, that makes me very sad
[21:40] <gavin_> How can I install Flash for firefox
[21:40] <Flare183> joe_: i'm sorry

[21:41] <azexian> flare183 its > to send a message to someone
[21:41] <nano__> PriceChild: yes wireless
[21:41] <Vermux> faithful_one: ?
[21:41] <faithful_one> Vermux: it could also mean that since u already have kubuntu on the h/d, the dvd doesn't want to put it back on top of itself
[21:41] <Flare183> azexian: I know i forgot
[21:41] <joe_> !drivers
[21:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:41] <azexian> flare183 just checking :)
[21:41] <gavin_> Is that the command?
[21:41] <faithful_one> Vermux: if u've made any changes to the system settings
[21:41] <nano__> PriceChild: i doubt theres anything wrong with the router as i'm using it on two computers right now
[21:41] <Flare183> joe_: I don't know keep asking
[21:42] <PriceChild> nano__, probably wise :) I would suggest you try accessing http://212.58.224.131 next time. That is the ip of the bbc. It might just be dns problems rather than general connection for example.
[21:42] <faithful_one> Vermux: that's the only thing i can think of

[21:42] <faithful_one> Vermux: right
[21:42] <azexian> nano__ if you ping google.com does it change to the ip of google?
[21:42] <Vermux> faithful_one: do u recommend continuing or rebooting and seeing if I ge t that message again?

[21:49] <nemilar> Stone_age: are you still looking for the mysql/root password solution?
[21:49] <azexian> vermux ok, have you loaded the partition editor, when you click install it will auto load it
[21:49] <Stone_age> File protection is one thing, paranoia is a whole different story.
[21:49] <Chafka> how to chmod my windows partition from ubuntu so i can read and write.. now i can only read ???
[21:49] <nano__> PriceChild/azexian: As happened to me before, google pings fine but all the others fail.
[21:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !ntfs-3g | Chafka
[21:50] <ubotu> Chafka: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[21:50] <pike_> Chafka: you cant you remount it with uid and guid options or just umask=000
[21:50] <Vermux> azexian: I didnot click on the install icon because I got an error message when I loaded the kde
[21:50] <faithful_one> azexian: it doesn't sound like it's even getting that far into the process
[21:50] <azexian> nano__ so you can't ping msn.com? did you try killing all other network devices?
[21:50] <Danagin> when I try the ip address I still get the username and password box.. . nothing I type in gives me access.
[21:50] <azexian> vermux/faithful_one is it perhaps a dodgy disk?
[21:51] <Danagin> should I \\ipaddress
[21:51] <faithful_one> azexian: it worked last week
[21:51] <Vermux> azexian: what is dodgy? the message I got was "the process for the media protocol died unexcpectedly"
[21:51] <Chafka> pike_,  how with uid :S or guid ?? some guide please
[21:51] <faithful_one> Vermux: dodgy = scratched, or damaged
[21:51] <Flare183> !ntfs | Chafka
[21:51] <ubotu> Chafka: 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
[21:51] <nano__> azexian: no, tried msn, cnn, yahoo and google, google and yahoo ping (but with some packet loss)
[21:51] <Vermux> azexian: no, it is a good disk
[21:51] <azexian> faithful_one ok, so you want to format from cli?
[21:52] <azexian> vermux soz, wrong person :p
[21:52] <pike_> Chafka: that link provides an automount script i mispelled its uid gid
[21:52] <ouellettesr> how can I permanantly set a baud rate for a tty device?
[21:52] <pike_> Chafka: sudo mount -o remount,umask=000 /media/windows
[21:52] <Vermux> azexian: yes. but not the winxp partition
[21:52] <faithful_one> azexian: actually, i'm tryin to help Vermux :)
[21:53] <azexian> vermux ok, first type df -h to see a list of hdd's, can you tell from that the right one? if not msg it to me
[21:53] <azexian> faithful_one fair enough :)
[21:53] <Vermux> so what is the next step?
[21:53] <Vermux> maybe booting with winxp and then deleteing kubuntu?
[21:53] <azexian> nano__ do the other computers on the network still work ?
[21:53] <nano__> yes, i'm using one
[21:53] <faithful_one> Vermux: i don't even know if windows will be able to see the kubuntu partition
[21:53] <azexian> vermux linux is far better at formating to linux format then windows :)
[21:53] <nano__> azexian: BBC pings, no loss
[21:54] <vwbusguy> Vermux: u could always use a gparted live cd
[21:54] <Vermux> azexian: it doesnt show the win partition
[21:54] <azexian> vermux ok, to format to linux partion you type mkfs.ext3 /dev/* where * is the partition e.g hda1
[21:54] <Flare183> !gparted | Vermux
[21:54] <ubotu> Vermux: 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/
[21:54] <david__> hola
[21:54] <azexian> or that :p
[21:54] <Flare183> !es | david__
[21:54] <ubotu> david__: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[21:54] <pike_> Vermux: be very sure of the partition number
[21:54] <Vermux> df -h doesnt show me the list of hdds
[21:55] <faithful_one> lol azexian
[21:55] <pike_> Vermux: sudo fdisk -l
[21:55] <brobostigon> gparted may be better for someone who is very familier with it.
[21:55] <vwbusguy> I like how every1 has a favorite partitioning tool
[21:55] <glaxo> my mounted drive /mnt/nas1 has an icon showing on the desktop. my understanding is that this should only happen if it is mapped under /media - how can I remove this without turning off icons for cd-roms / USB drives?
[21:55] <azexian> vermux soz, I always like df, use fdisk -l instead, pike is to quick for me :p
[21:55] <mwe> Stone_age: when I installed mysql it asked me to set a root pass
[21:55] <mwe> Stone_age: and you cant find the pass in a flat file. it's stored in the db
[21:55] <vwbusguy> gparted is porlly the easiest and most user friendly.  fdisk is powerful and versatile but not terribly user friendly (compared with gparted)
[21:55] <sveakex> is it possible to copy paste from x into a non x terminal?
[21:55] <CyberGabber> ouellettesr: maybe this will point you in right direction : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto
[21:56] <Vermux> azexian: it doesnt do anything
[21:56] <vwbusguy> **prolly
[21:56] <azexian> vermux ok sudo mount -a
[21:56] <azexian> vermux then try it
[21:56] <Vermux> azexian: nothing
[21:56] <vwbusguy> azexian: you don't want to mount a partition you are going to format!
[21:56] <sybariten> this is so damn irritating
[21:57] <sybariten> i dont get the swedish chars when i IRC or IM
[21:57] <sybariten> but i always do when i ssh from putty
[21:57] <azexian> vwbusguy very true, but he needs to know partition number
[21:57] <Chafka> pike_, i can write on my c partition but on d no.. :S and the command didn't work
[21:57] <faithful_one> vwbusguy: he's just tryin to see what's there
[21:57] <Vermux> guys, I boot the comp. from the cd
[21:57] <sybariten> the thing is, i'm doing ubuntu to ubuntu now so you'd expect them to be as compatible as can be
[21:57] <filthpig> what's the easiest way to mount a mds/mdf-image?
[21:57] <azexian> !acetoneiso
[21:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about acetoneiso - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:57] <sybariten> but its now i get the characterset-error
[21:57] <mwe> sybariten: odd. I thought ubuntu was supposed to be unicode
[21:57] <secret_023> Hi, I used another monitor on my PC for a week. After that I returned to my previous lcd monitor. Since that, I have some strange behavior; 1- my screen resolution reset at each startup  2- my screen resolution reset after I use vmware in full screen mode.     I did not change my xorg.conf.    Any idea ? (using ubuntu 7.10)    msg me please
[21:58] <Vermux> ?
[21:58] <Vermux> azexian: ?
[21:58] <sybariten> mwe: hm, what exactly would unicode mean in this case?
[21:58] <azexian> vermux do you know the partition already?
[21:58] <filthpig> !mds
[21:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mds - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:58] <Vermux> azexian: I think if I remember right it started from 5
[21:58] <azexian> filthpig look up acetoneiso, it's like dameon tools, beautiful tool :)
[21:58] <Vermux> 5 to 7
[21:58] <Vermux> azexian: because winxp is on 1
[21:59] <vwbusguy> Vermux: use gparted (in your gnome menu) or fdisk -l to find the partition number, either one should work
[21:59] <mwe> sybariten: that national characters are supposed to be shown and work in almost all programs
[21:59] <Chafka> i need some help pls!! i can write on my c partition but on d no.. :S
[21:59] <azexian> vermux ok, not something you want to guess :P, downloaded gparted live cd, it's only 50MB, and it lets you format safely, excellent tool
[21:59] <sybariten> mwe: yeah well.... i think you get extra complexity when things involve several machines
[21:59] <sybariten> i dont even have a clue where to start to solve this
[21:59] <tcpdumpgod> convert it to an IS/clear
[22:00] <sybariten> my ubuntu, as it is, is totally okay with swedish chars... but thats when running everything locally
[22:00] <mwe> sybariten: and I probably only heard half of your problem
[22:00] <Chafka> i need some help pls!! i can write on my c partition but on d no.. :S
[22:00] <Flare183> !help | Chafka
[22:00] <ubotu> Chafka: 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
[22:00] <vwbusguy> Vermux: here's the other question... ar eyou using grub for a boot loader?  and if so are you potentially going to be formatting a partition that has grub on it?
[22:00] <EADG> Afternoon all. Could somebody tell me which file I need to edit to change/add color to my boot up text? (I boot verbose to a tty, not using usplash)
[22:00] <Flare183> crap
[22:00] <chazco> Anyone know how to convert a tasksel command to an apt-get command?
[22:00] <Flare183> !fuse | Chafka
[22:00] <ubotu> Chafka: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems
[22:01] <sybariten> mwe: yeah... the problem starts when i SSH to my server, and IRC from there. With ubuntu to ubuntu, so to speak. The irritating thing is, this is what i normally do, but with windows to ununtu. Then the swedish caracters work, "on the other end"
[22:01] <Vermux> vwbusguy: YES, i THINK
[22:01] <Goshawk> how to disable swap mount on ubuntu livecd?
[22:01] <chuy_max> hi, I have a printing issue, everytime I want to print something, it doesn't print the last 10cm, I'm using letter sized sheets, and the apps I use are configured correctly to use that paper size
[22:01] <chuy_max> any ideas?
[22:01] <mwe> sybariten: oh
[22:01] <chuy_max> I'm using PSC-1200 printer, I think it uses hplip driver

[22:01] <glaxo> my mounted drive /mnt/nas1 has an icon showing on the desktop. my understanding is that this should only happen if it is mapped under /media - how can I remove this without turning off icons for cd-roms / USB drives? anyone?
[22:01] <Flare183> chuy_max: the problem is the settings on gnome
[22:01] <vwbusguy> Vermux: if you are using GRUB and format the partition with GRUB on it, you won't be able to boot any OS.
[22:02] <vwbusguy> Vermux: but you can use the Windows CD to rewrite the MBR for you
[22:02] <Vermux> vwbusguy: BUT i HAVE WIN XP ON IT
[22:02] <erUSUL> secret_023: can you not reconfigure the resolution on System>Admin>screen and graphics?
[22:02] <Flare183> !caps | Vermux
[22:02] <ubotu> Vermux: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[22:02] <vwbusguy> Vermux: yes but it's chainlaoded through GRUB
[22:02] <mwe> sybariten: sounds to me like ssh needs to be configured to use unicode. I'm only guessing, though.
[22:02] <Vermux> vwbusguy: and I have the kubuntu dvd
[22:02] <chuy_max> Flare183, mmm, is it a common problem?, do you know how to fix it?
[22:03] <phaidros> hi, using laserjet 5p via usb adapter I get a very nice device /dev/usblp0, but neither cups nor hp-tools find the printer ..
[22:03] <Flare183> chuy_max: yeah go to the system menu, and then find priners
[22:03] <azexian> vermux, if you do that you will loose grub, although if you have mucked up your partition table you might not be able to do anything else, if no partitions are coming up...
[22:03] <Flare183> printers*
[22:03] <azexian> vermux can you ls /dev/hd* ls /dev/sd* for me please
[22:03] <Flare183> chuy_max: and then click it, right click on the printer and click properties
[22:03] <azexian> vermux separate commands
[22:03] <sybariten> mwe: hm, intersting theory. I've been in localization hell many times.... but i've never actually configured an ssh client. Oh well, in fact i have... Putty has settings for those things. Its the linux SSH client that i've never configured....
[22:03] <joe_> looks like I may have jobs lined up in a print que, is there a way to clear the print que?
[22:03] <k3zo> I'm trying to change the main menu icon (currently a mac icon with osx icon theme) back to ubuntu and want to locate the human ubuntu icon, where is it!?
[22:03] <sybariten> mwe: will look into it
[22:04] <phaidros> joe_: delete them ;)\
[22:04] <Flare183> joe_: click, press delete
[22:04] <joe_> phaidros: from where?
[22:04] <ouellettesr> CyberGabber: thanks for the link :)
[22:04] <phaidros> joe_: on the job, right-click .. cancel
[22:04] <azexian> joe_ you might need to admin in printer que
[22:04] <Flare183> joe_: from the printers dialog box
[22:04] <Flare183> joe_: I mean window
[22:04] <joe_> Flare183: I dont have a diaglog box :(
[22:05] <Vermux> azexian: ok, I know the partitions
[22:05] <phaidros> Flare183, azexian any ideas how to use a printer with /dev/usblp0 device name?
[22:05] <Vermux> azexian: it is /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 /dev/sda7
[22:05] <Vermux> azexian: as I said it started from 5
[22:05] <azexian> vermux that is all the ones you want to format?
[22:05] <chuy_max> Flare183, under printer options, the page size is letter, can it be another option?
[22:05] <azexian> phaidros not quite sure, sorry ;s
[22:05] <joe_> Flare183: azexian how do I get the printer dialog box back?
[22:05] <Vermux> azexian: yes: 5 to 7 (kubuntu)
[22:06] <Vermux> tdev/sda is win xp
[22:06] <Vermux> azexian: ^
[22:06] <Vermux> azexian: so what do I do next?
[22:06] <azexian> vermux ok, they will currently be differently types, one is swap, one is probably ext3, and one is home I expect, does that sound about right?
[22:06] <Flare183> phaidros: add new printer and then find a driver that uses that device
[22:06] <Vermux> azexian: exactly
[22:07] <Flare183> chuy_max: yeah should be another option
[22:07] <azexian> vermux do you know which ones which? :p
[22:07] <Vermux> azexian: root, home, and swap
[22:07] <Vermux> azexian: this order
[22:07] <brobostigon> home will be ext3 too proebely
[22:07] <Flare183> joe_: is there a printer in the system tray?
[22:07] <joe_> Flare183: no sir
[22:07] <Vermux> azexian: I dont want to leave traces of old settings because they r not good. I want to delete everything
[22:07] <staan-> Hi! I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10. When I choose "start or install ubuntu" it loads up, and then I get "out of range" on my monitor. Anyoe got a clue? Thanks!
[22:07] <Moduliz0r> Vermux: I'm like that too
[22:07] <azexian> vermux kk, so we need to run sudo mxfs.ext3 on both the home and root partitions, that will get rid of it
[22:07] <Flare183> joe_: ok then goto system menu, adminstration (i think), then printers
[22:07] <brobostigon> apt-get --purge
[22:08] <yassine> anyone here using vbox on ubunto ?
[22:08] <Moduliz0r> Vermux: *ALL* traces of applications have to go
[22:08] <azexian> vermux it formats :)
[22:08] <Vermux> azexian: ok, how the command goes?
[22:08] <Flare183> !away | killown|away
[22:08] <ubotu> killown|away: 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
[22:09] <joe_> Flare183: ok I found that, is there some place there that I can tell it to show in system tray?
[22:09] <azexian> vermux mkfs.ext /dev/# where # is partition e.g sda5
[22:09] <Flare183> joe_: no it's supposed to be there when it printing something or has an error
[22:09] <Goshawk> how to disable swap mount on ubuntu livecd?
[22:10] <Flare183> joe_: and besides it comes up only when you print something
[22:10] <joe_> Flare183: I am not the brightest bulb in the box, and I accidently told it not to be in tray
[22:10] <Flare183> joe_: after that it disappears
[22:10] <Vermux> azexian: it says no such file or directory

[22:10] <Moduliz0r> !flash
[22:10] <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
[22:10] <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.
[22:10] <Vermux> azexian: do I need to boot regular with the hard drive in order to do that?
[22:10] <Flare183> secret_023: no idea
[22:10] <Alloosh> Hi, I have a desktop connected to the net, and I use a router DSL, so I can connect other computer, when I plug a windows machine it works right away, now I got a lap top and I installed ubuntu, how to connect it ?
[22:11] <Vermux> azexian: by the way I downloaded the software u told me about (partitions)
[22:11] <azexian> vermux ok, from the ls command, it needs to be that number, you can use tab if you like, but it should be /dev/sda4, if that doesn't exist then why was it there a sec ago?
[22:11] <azexian> vermux excellent, forget the commands, just use that :p
[22:11] <brobostigon> vermux: was it gparted
[22:11] <azexian> vermux yep
[22:11] <azexian> excellent tool
[22:12] <Vermux> azexian: it was in dark on the command line, I barely can see it, but I see it somehow
[22:12] <Vermux> the partitions are darkened
[22:12] <ciplogic> I´ve update to KDE4, and I´ve got at installing kde4 base package the errors:

[22:12] <azexian> vermux strange...
[22:12] <joe_> Flare183: and now when I try to print something like a test page, it says something along the lines of "test page submitted as job 9" (so far I have done it 9 times lol)
[22:13] <mwe> gparted has let me down more than once
[22:13] <azexian> vermux if you use gparted live it shouldn't be a prob, it will show you your partitions, and you just right click, format to ext3 on all but windows and swap
[22:13] <rich__> sup homies
[22:13] <nemilar> sup G homie rich
[22:13] <Flare183> joe_: then reinstall the printer
[22:13] <joe_> I know, I just deleted the printer and am going to tey and reinstall
[22:13] <azexian> mwe I only use gparted, I've trusted it with a lot of servers, perhaps you haven't used it resonantly?
[22:13] <joe_> OMG!!! great minds think alike Flare183 :D
[22:14] <hsn> I'm using Reiserfs for my laptop ubuntu installation, is that good?
[22:14] <sksol> guys, this is what i have: a laptop running ubuntu a pc box (no monitor, no monitor cables), and an ethernet cable. is it possible to connect the two computers and use the pc box as a file server? or even better install some webserver stuff on it?
[22:14] <Flare183> !omg
[22:14] <ubotu> Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[22:14] <joe_> lol
[22:14] <Flare183> joe_: yeap
[22:14] <ciplogic> there is a page for update to KDE4??

[22:15] <ProfUniversitari> hello
[22:15] <ProfUniversitari> brasil?
[22:15] <mwe> azexian: I beleive I've just been unlucky. I have to add it has also worked well many times, though
[22:15] <Starnestommy> ProfUniversitari: try #ubuntu-br
[22:15] <Flare183> !br
[22:15] <ProfUniversitari> ok
[22:15] <ProfUniversitari> :)
[22:15] <azexian> mwe fair enough, I once formated the wrong partition, but I knew how to get it back :p
[22:15] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[22:15] <mwe> azexian: resizing partitions and/or moving them around should never be considered a safe operation I think
[22:16] <Vermux> azexian: one sec, I need to download iso recorder
[22:16] <azexian> mwe you should certainly not do it without error checking
[22:16] <dracula2> how can i install zenwalk with virtualbox ose?
[22:16] <mwe> azexian: no but still it manages to break sometimes
[22:16] <azexian> mwe but in resont times it's getting better, I've never had a problem in that regard, even with huge hdd, but yeah, backup is recommeded if it's vital data
[22:17] <mwe> azexian: yeah
[22:17] <azexian> mwe resent*
[22:17] <Flare183> dracula2: you have to have zenwalk on disk to install it using virtual box
[22:17] <Vermux> azexian: do I need to boot from it?
[22:17] <mwe> azexian: but I'm to lazy to do backups. I tend to cry when I lose my data instead unless the data is absolutely crucial
[22:17] <dracula2> Flare183 what's the point of virtual box then? how can i install without a disk? network install?
[22:17] <azexian> vermux yes, it's a linux live disk, but it's very light
[22:18] <secret_023> Hi, I used another monitor on my PC for a week. After that I returned to my previous lcd monitor. Since that, I have some strange behavior; 1- my screen resolution reset at each startup  2- my screen resolution reset after I use vmware in full screen mode.     I did not change my xorg.conf.    Any idea ? (using ubuntu 7.10)    msg me please
[22:18] <azexian> mwe same here:p
[22:18] <Flare183> dracula2: see that's the thing you must have bought the disk to use it and i don't think that zenwalk has a network install function
[22:18] <Vermux> azexian: oy, shit, I forget that I cant boot from the cdrom now
[22:18] <Vermux> only from the dvd rom
[22:19] <azexian> vermux why not?

[22:19] <Vermux> okok
[22:19] <TABASCO> Hello
[22:19] <TABASCO> How can I say tracker that it shall rescan my files?
[22:19] <Vermux> azexian: because the dvd is primary master
[22:19] <azexian> secret_023 go into screen res on sys --> prefs and choose your res and tick the box 'this is my default' that will make it the same res for each boot
[22:19] <Vermux> azexian: and the cd rom is slave
[22:19] <azexian> vermux could you put the disk in there?
[22:19] <Vermux> yes
[22:20] <froosch> hi! so people, i *had* the battery monitor applett or what it's called working. then i did some experimenting to get suspend/wlan/ati-wdrivers etc. (did some partly reinstalls of acer-acpi, other packages, kernel parameter tweaking, dunno).... now everything works fine, only the power applet says 'on ac power' _all the time_ ... what to check? this is 7.10 on acer laptop
[22:20] <TABASCO> Because the index does not work any more when I use the Deskbar Applet search.
[22:20] <Vermux> azexian: but in order to change the booting sequence I need to reconnect the ide cables
[22:20] <azexian> vermux can you not change it in your bios?
[22:20] <Flare183> Vermux: not really it's in the bios
[22:21] <azexian> vermux or do you mean you only have one ide cable?
[22:21] <Vermux> azexian: no, I cant
[22:21] <Flare183> Jack_Sparrow: what was that all about?
[22:21] <azexian> vermux I don't understand :s
[22:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Getting improper notices
[22:22] <mwe> froosch: that applet told me my battery was broken :) it's not
[22:22] <Flare183> Jack_Sparrow: ah gotcha
[22:22] <Vermux> azexian: and now I cant eject the dvd  from some reason
[22:22] <chimp> Is there an equilizer than you place on ubuntu that affects all audio output?
[22:22] <azexian> vermux turn it off and stuff a pin in the hole :p
[22:22] <rutter> hey, can anyone help me with these white bars that I get at the top of my screen when playing DVDs?
[22:22] <rutter> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/Hellcom/DVD.png
[22:23] <froosch> mwe: it's not only the applet. where in proc or sys should i get the raw info?
[22:23] <azexian> rutter what media player, and is it every film?
[22:23] <nano_> stop
[22:23] <ghoulsblade> hi all, is there any way to "trigger" powersave mode via a command ? i'd like to switch my laptop display off without shutting down or waiting for the energy save to kick in
[22:23] <ziyax> any opendns user here?
[22:23] <nano__> azexian, ya so any ideas?
[22:23] <Moduliz0r> ex-opendns, why?
[22:24] <mwe> froosch: /proc/acpi/battery I beleive
[22:24] <azexian> nano__ as I said, do other pc's work?
[22:24] <rutter> azexian: all media players that I have tried (vlc, totem) and it is a film
[22:24] <nano__> azexian, ya so any ideas?
[22:24] <Alloosh> hi, how can I connect to the local netword?
[22:24] <nano__> azexian: sorry, yes both do
[22:24] <azexian> nano__ by ethernet I assume?
[22:24] <azexian> rutter I mean have you tried other films?
[22:25] <nano__> azexian: yes
[22:25] <azexian> nano__ and you're going by wireless?
[22:25] <B-rabbit> ghoulsblade, "sudo suspend"
[22:25] <nano_> yea
[22:25] <mwe> froosch: perhaps your kernel boot parms break something?
[22:25] <rutter> azexian: yes, with all my DVDs
[22:25] <froosch> ...acpi tells me 'no support for device type: battery'... it worked some time. i just can't find out what i broke
[22:25] <nano_> what's it to you
[22:25] <azexian> nano__ just well we're trying to fix it, can you try with ethernet only, just narrows down the problems
[22:25] <nano__> azexian: yep, but the laptop worked wirelessly with this router when xp was on it..
[22:25] <froosch> mwe: i removed all params following the tests i think
[22:25] <mwe> I see
[22:26] <ghoulsblade> B-rabbit,  hmm, not the whole computer, just the display, it should keep running to play music for example
[22:26] <azexian> nano__ if you're going to moan I'll help someone else who needs it, wireless may need a different driver, so we test with ethernet first to make sure you can connect, then we fix the wireless
[22:26] <froosch> ...and proc/acpi _has no_ battery
[22:26] <nano__> azexian: ???
[22:27] <mwe> froosch: and your using the ubuntu kernel and did disable any important modules or something like that?
[22:27] <azexian> nano__ just plug it into ethernet to narrow down problems, you won't need to ethernet for ever...
[22:27] <mwe> froosch: it's a missing driver then
[22:27] <arialth> i am having a problem with video on Ubuntu 7.04 on an hp dv9420us. The system itself runs smoothly, but when i shut down, i get a black screen, but it is not flat black, because i get some VERY strange anamollies which are like bars of distortion flying down the screen (it is hard to describe.) In addition, when i suspend/hybernate, i get the black screen, too, and i can shut down and logs tell me it was a normal shutdown, but i cannot even switch to tty1
[22:27] <lod_> how to change vnc listen port in ubuntu's remote desktop
[22:27] <B-rabbit> ghoulsblade, er, u could just turn off your monitor i guess
[22:27] <Flare183> !vnc
[22:27] <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
[22:27] <_Codeman_> Isn't there an easy way to get the source tree to the kernel I am running from the repository?
[22:28] <nano__> azexian: doesnt work with ethernet
[22:28] <azexian> _codeman_ sudo apt-get install linux-source should do it, or it might be linux-headers I forget :p
[22:28] <mwe> froosch: is battery.ko loaded?

[22:28] <ghoulsblade> it's a laptop *g*   i was hoping for something like echo 0 > /proc/acpi/display, but it don't have a clue about that acpi dir
[22:28] <nano_> fug
[22:29] <azexian> ghoulsblade what are you trying to do?
[22:29] <nano__> azexian: you saw PM?
[22:29] <ghoulsblade> i want to switch the display off, e.g. put it into powersaving mode while leaving the laptop running to play music
[22:29] <azexian> nano__ no
[22:29] <gd1> hi how can I make "qmake" command point to the right version of QT
[22:29] <_Codeman_> azexian: thanks
[22:29] <ghoulsblade> i could wait 10 minutes, but that's annoying
[22:30] <azexian> _codeman_ np
[22:30] <gd1> in Ubuntu, there's some Qt rubbish under /usr/lib
[22:30] <secret_023> Hi, I used another monitor on my PC for a week. After that I returned to my previous lcd monitor.

Any idea ? (using ubuntu 7.10)    msg me please
[22:30] <ghoulsblade> (for the energy save to kick in i mean)
[22:30] <njecto> i installed the madwifi drivers that support injection and now if i try to enable monitor by executing iwconfig ath0 mode monitor   i get the error Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :   SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.
[22:30] <elvirolo> hi all
[22:30] <azexian> ghoulsblade you can that in energy saving options, make it a min if you like :p
[22:30] <azexian> ghoulsblade but you want a command right?
[22:30] <froosch> mwe: ah thanks! modprobe battery gives at least command line info. i can live with that for now!-)
[22:30] <Zoo-> hey everyone, has anyone heard of deals with hp compaq nc6000 having acpi issues , and plus.. I am a mandriva user, used to use debian for about 2 years, and ubuntu for 1 1/2 year and half, but I sold my acer aspire 3610, and this is a nice mobile workstation. however if I leave acpi to acpi=on, I have to echo the fan, to turn it on.. if I leave it off. the fan is on idled. but it screws up the synaptic touchpad, and I have tried a
[22:30] <Zoo-> kind of apm options and acpi options
[22:30] <ghoulsblade> hmm then it goes blank all the time while working =)  yep, something like that
[22:31] <Ashnal> How would I enable my sound card?
[22:31] <mwe> ghoulsblade: xset dpms force off I think
[22:31] <azexian> ghoulsbalde lol, kk, one sec
[22:31] <azexian> ghoulsblade or that :p
[22:31] <ghoulsblade> hmm can i do things like  echo 0 > /proc/acpi/bla  without breaking anything ?
[22:31] <desertc> Ashnal: Has it ever worked?
[22:31] <mwe> froosch: it will probably make the applet work again as well
[22:31] <Zoo-> the issue, if I leave acpi=on, I have to do.. echo -n 0 > /proc/acpi/fan/C20F/state
[22:31] <mwe> froosch: put the module name in /etc/modules to make sure it's autoloaded at each boot
[22:32] <desertc> Ashnal: Try this >>> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930
[22:32] <js_> for some reason i get extremely small fonts using the nvidia driver in xubuntu, what can that be related to?
[22:32] <alexbOrsova> does anyone knoe how to record the sound output of an application?
[22:32] <nano_> when is flash going to get fixed
[22:32] <alexbOrsova> *know
[22:32] <Zoo-> and it has a total of 4 state files in there, lol.. but that turns it on full speed, but then after  a while it shuts off.. and I still use an xp pro vlk, that I work with on a daily basis, as I work with alot of different software, and support systems with kaspersky internet security
[22:32] <Zoo-> heya ghoulsblade
[22:32] <desertc> alexbOrsova: you can do it - I've done it before
[22:32] <stasbull> Hi guys!
[22:32] <mwe> nano_: I think you can just use the installer from adobe.com
[22:32] <azexian> nano__ flash is fixed
[22:32] <ghoulsblade> mwe,  thx , it worked =)
[22:32] <alexbOrsova> desertc: how?
[22:32] <Ashnal> desetc, yes but i resterted my computer and it doesnt anymore, i suspect the module isnt loaded
[22:32] <mwe> nano_: that works here
[22:32] <stasbull> Today I've got ubuntu desktop
[22:33] <azexian> stasbull haven't we all :p
[22:33] <desertc> alexbOrsova: not sure, but you can record anything.  it's wickedly easy, I just don't remember how, something built-in
[22:33] <desertc> alexbOrsova: google is your friend
[22:33] <stasbull> the question is how can I get to console from desktop?
[22:33] <Ashnal> desertc, FATAL: Error inserting snd_ca0106 (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/sound/pci/ca0106/snd-ca0106.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
[22:33] <azexian> stasbull applications --> terminal
[22:33] <alexbOrsova> desertc: I've been googling for an hour and none of the proposed methods have worked so far
[22:33] <elvirolo> i'm having a network problem : i have two laptops here ; on the first one, whenever i connect it via ethernet to my modem, the internet connection works fine (using dhcp). on the second one though (also running gutsy), i get the following message "No working leases in persistent database"... both /etc/ntwork/interfaces are exactly the same... why is that ?
[22:33] <rutter> It seems azexian is busy with a couple of others, can anyone else help me with these white bars I get while playing DVDs
[22:33] <mwe> stasbull: ctrl+alt+f1, alt+f7 to get back
[22:34] <nano__> azexian: did you see my last message?
[22:34] <rutter> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/Hellcom/DVD.png
[22:34] <desertc> Ashnal: ugh  - is it one of those sound blaster value cards?
[22:34] <Vermux> azexian: ok, eventually I used the kubuntu live dvd to boot
[22:34] <ghoulsblade> Zoo-, hi, do i know you from somewhere ?
[22:34] <Vermux> azexian: BUT them the computer froze now
[22:34] <Ashnal> desertc, its an audigy of some type and it was working yesterday
[22:34] <Vermux> azexian: as it happaned with win xp many times
[22:34] <stasbull> thanks man. I've tried ctrl+alt+f1  but didnt get back
[22:34] <froosch> mwe: power manager still not working after restart. maybe on next reboot. hint for /etc/modules: yay, thanks for that
[22:34] <longjon> hiya there
[22:35] <mwe> stasbull: so alt+f7 doesn't get you back into x window?
[22:35] <desertc> Ashnal: Sorry, not sure.  What did dmesg say?
[22:35] <azexian> vermux ok, I'm not quite sure what you can do until you get to the cli, if you edit the boot loading of grub on the kubuntu disk (f7 I believe) I type single, and delete quiet splash, it will make you get to cli
[22:35] <Ashnal> desertc, where would i find dmesg?
[22:35] <azexian> rutter sorry rutter, I have no idea about that :s
[22:35] <stasbull> not quite sure about alt +f7
[22:35] <rutter> ok
[22:36] <desertc> Ashnal: just type it at a terminal
[22:36] <rutter> any idea where I can get help with that?
[22:36] <mwe> froosch: you're welcome.
[22:36] <desertc> Ashnal: might take you a little while to get comfortable looking at the output, but keep with it
[22:36] <azexian> rutter #mplayer perhaps?
[22:36] <rutter> ok
[22:36] <ghoulsblade> mwe,  works like a charm , many thanks =D
[22:37] <alexbOrsova> so does anyone here know how to record sound card output?
[22:37] <Zoo-> ah screw it, time to read all the books I have
[22:37] <Ashnal> desertc, ive been looking through pages and pages of stuff trying to fix my cracling sound for about 2 days, and somewhere along the line i made it worse, and now the module doesnt even want to load
[22:37] <mwe> ghoulsblade: great
[22:37] <Vermux> azexian: if I'll change in the bios under the hdd configuration to disable the 32bit data transfer is it fine?
[22:37] <ubuntuo> a
[22:37] <arialth> i am having a problem with video on Ubuntu 7.04 on an hp dv9420us. The system itself runs smoothly, but when i shut down, i get a black screen, but it is not flat black, because i get some VERY strange anamollies which are like bars of distortion flying down the screen (it is hard to describe.) In addition, when i suspend/hybernate, i get the black screen, too, and i can shut down and logs tell me it was a normal shutdown, but i cannot even switch to tty1
[22:37] <azexian> vermux if you need to that's ok, it' best to keep it though
[22:38] <Vermux> ok
[22:38] <azexian> vermux it will just make things slower :)
[22:38] <Ashnal> desertc, ashnal@ashnal-desktop:~$ dmesg|grep snd

[22:38] <azexian> vermux you don't need the cd, you just need to go into grub, and delete silent splash, and add single, that will get you into a command line, without the graphical stuff, shouldn't crash then
 thanks it works with alt+f7
[22:39] <Vermux> azexian: when the computer freeze it makes a click noise
[22:39] <nano__> azexian: did you see my last message?
[22:39] <mwe> stasbull: cool
[22:39] <azexian> nano__ which one nano?
[22:39] <stasbull> now can I switch from desktop to console and back
[22:39] <azexian> vermux is it overheating?
[22:39] <stasbull> thanks)!
[22:39] <nano__> azexian:it doesnt work with ethernet
[22:39] <ally_oxoxox> hey i have a question
[22:39] <mwe> yw
[22:39] <ally_oxoxox> my xchat-gnome doesnt display the users in #ubuntu, why?
[22:40] <Vermux> azexian: I got the following error when booting: cmos checksum bad
[22:40] <lod_> i have this in my dmesg: icmpv6_send: addr_any/mcast source
[22:40] <azexian> nano__ that is odd, it could be a bad driver for your eth link, but the fact that it can ping google means that's not the case
[22:40] <lod_> what does it mean? how to stop it
[22:40] <azexian> vermux that means that your bios is dodgy
[22:40] <Ashnal> desertc, do you know how to fix those errors?
[22:40] <Vermux> azexian: F1 to run setup f2 to load defualt values and continue
[22:41] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: did you enable it in settings. perhaps it's "off screen" try maximizing the window
[22:41] <azexian> verux press f6 / f7
[22:41] <azexian> vermux*
 Sorry, I don't know anything about your mom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:41] <rich4> I'm looking for a guide to beryl (not compiz fusion) any ideas?
[22:41] <Vermux> azexian: nothing is happaning
[22:41] <Fackamato> Hi. I just built a custom realtime kernel with the help from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile, and the kernel image .deb installs fine, however, installing the headers .deb gives me this: linux-headers-2.6.24-5-rt depends on linux-headers-2.6.24-5, but:
[22:41] <Fackamato>   Package linux-headers-2.6.24-5 is not installed.
[22:41] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: or dragging the edge at the scroll bar
[22:41] <Fackamato> Anyone know of a solution?
[22:41] <azexian> vermux I'm not quite sure, go through f5 -f12 it's one of them :p
[22:41] <ally_oxoxox> nope that did not work
[22:41] <nano__> azexian: also it worked wirelessly and via ethernet elsewhere
[22:42] <ally_oxoxox> i max the screen but i cant see the users in #ubuntu
[22:42] <ally_oxoxox> i checked my prefernces too
[22:42] <ally_oxoxox> nothing
[22:42] <azexian> nano__ did you try killing the other connections?
[22:42] <azexian> vermux that error is serious, you might need to flash your bois :s
[22:42] <ally_oxoxox> its called xchat-gnome 0.18 nwe
[22:42] <bryn> nano__: have u got a proxy server setup in your browser?
[22:42] <Vermux> azexian: ok, I will remember that
[22:42] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: try pulling the right edge at the scroll bar. the list can be hidden
[22:42] <Vermux> azexian: ok, now, which device should I boot from?
[22:43] <Vermux> azexian: I gor the list of devices
[22:43] <Vermux> azexian: hard drive or the live kubuntu dvd?
[22:43] <azexian> vermux live disk
[22:43] <andrewmin> anyone know where the apt cache is stored and how to clear it?
[22:43] <rich4> I've a question regarding beryl
[22:43] <andrewmin> i createda  faulty package
[22:43] <ally_oxoxox> Nope that didnt work
[22:43] <ally_oxoxox> hmm
[22:43] <azexian> vermux but you need to add single remember :p
[22:43] <andrewmin> and i need to remove it
[22:43] <nano__> azexian: which others, to these other two desktops?
[22:43] <nano__> bryn: no
[22:43] <andrewmin> but it wont remove because the post remove scripts is faulty
[22:44] <Vermux> azexian: where?
[22:44] <danand> andrewmin: apt-get clean to clear - /var/apt/cache i believe
[22:44] <zoobox> anyone knows if gcdw is built in now in cdw?
[22:44] <Starnestommy> andrewmin: somewhere in /var/cache
[22:44] <andrewmin> yeah, i tried that
[22:44] <Vermux> azexian: I typed F6
[22:44] <andrewmin> but the package wasnt htere
[22:44] <maronnax_> autotools
[22:44] <andrewmin> how do you use autotools?
[22:44] <Vermux> azexian: it asks me about boot options
[22:44] <bcardarella> Is there any reason why the Alternate Install CD (text-based) would be going slow? (64-bit)   It took around 3 minutes just to boot to the initial window then everything goes very slow
[22:44] <azexian> vermux press c, I thought you were booting live cd, you are running grub from hdd right?
[22:44] <azexian> vermux oh ok
[22:44] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: well here it's quite hard to pull the right point if it's hidden. has to be very close to the left edge but not at the edge
[22:45] <Vermux> azexian: no, Im running the dvd
[22:45] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: err right edge
[22:45] <ally_oxoxox> mwe_ i already max the screen
[22:45] <azexian> vermux you need to remove silent and splash, and type single
[22:45] <ally_oxoxox> wouldnt that work?
[22:45] <Vermux> azexian: I c a line containing the word splash
[22:45] <maronnax_> andrewmin, wrong window, sorry
[22:45] <andrewmin> ok
[22:45] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: I just realized it doesn't reveal the list if you maximize the window
[22:45] <danand> andrewmin: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[22:45] <Vermux> azexian: how do I remove them
[22:45] <andrewmin> danand: i checked there, but my package aint there
[22:45] <ally_oxoxox> well mwe: i tried to get it working but it wont
[22:45] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: I have the pull just left of the right edge of the window
[22:46] <andrewmin> basically, it gives me a post-removal scripts error
[22:46] <zoobox> since gcdw is "dependent" on cdw but cdw "is in conflict with" gcdw ?
[22:46] <andrewmin> and i fixed that
[22:46] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: try view->user list as well
[22:46] <azexian> kubuntu may be different... press e, then hold down backspace
[22:46] <andrewmin> but it wont reinstall
[22:46] <azexian> and enter
[22:46] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: is it checked?
[22:46] <spleencheesmonke> is anyone able to help me with wireless card problem please? getting rather annoying now.  card suddenly stopped working. device is enabled but all sorts of error messages in system log regarding the card.  need help deciphering please.

[22:47] <Vermux> azexian: after I push f6(more options) it shows at the bottom of the page a path for the boot options
[22:47] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: oh well this is not xchat-gnome just plain xchat, so perhaps it's different
[22:47] <ally_oxoxox> well
[22:47] <ally_oxoxox> the icon says xchat-gnome
[22:47] <ally_oxoxox> and i click "about" and it says xchat-gnome 0.18
[22:47] <azexian> vermux ok, use the arrow keys, to go back to it, then backspace it
[22:47] <danand> andrewmin: Is this a locally created package ie one you have made yourself?
[22:47] <andrewmin> yes
[22:48] <Ashnal> anyoneknow how to fix this error? snd_ca0106: Unknown parameter `model'
[22:48] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: it's probably a little different then. mine says xchat 2.8.4
[22:48] <ally_oxoxox> wow mwe: that is weird
[22:48] <andrewmin> danand: i messed up the post-install scripts. but now i cant remove it :-P
[22:48] <ally_oxoxox> why am i so outdated?
[22:48] <ally_oxoxox> i jsut did a fresh install, and updated all my packages
[22:48] <dracula2> how can i mount a distro cd and then install with virtual box please?
[22:48] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: that's xchat-gnome
[22:48] <ally_oxoxox> ahhhh
[22:48] <ally_oxoxox> mwe:
[22:48] <ally_oxoxox> i see it now
[22:48] <ally_oxoxox> ok
[22:48] <azexian> vermux ok?
[22:48] <Vermux> azexian: ok, when Im on the Start or install Kubuntu, I c at the bottom of the page a line that says at the end of it quite splash
[22:48] <danand> andrewmin: Have you tried using aptitude - it has section for obsolete and locally created packages
[22:49] <ddalton> ok is this a good system for ubuntu? browsing the net sound video editing documents running scripts and using gnome. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220194295712&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:AU:1123
[22:49] <ally_oxoxox> um i have to install the other one in my app list
[22:49] <ally_oxoxox> brb
[22:49] <mwe> ally_oxoxox: I think it still uses plain xchat but adds something. not sure
[22:49] <bitterbug> funny thing, i lose sound fairly often so i checked for open files on the pcm device, and deluge is the culprit. does deluge even have sound notifications?
[22:49] <andrewmin> danand: ill try that
[22:49] <Vermux> azexian: I still dont know what are u trying to do?
[22:49] <zoobox> anyon at all used or heard of cdw or gcdw ?
[22:49] <brigo> any spanish, please?
[22:49] <azexian> vermux ok, that comes up when you press f6 right?
[22:49] <Vermux> azexian: yes
[22:50] <Ashnal> anyone know how to fix this error? snd_ca0106: Unknown parameter `model'
[22:50] <azexian> vermux ok, when you use the arrow keys, can you go backwords and forwards through it (left and right)
[22:50] <zoobox> brigo: try #ubuntu-es
[22:50] <killown|away> how do I to disable kde 4 composit effects:
[22:50] <killown|away> ?
 I have one more question. Iwas trying to download tilda but it says that i need to anable universe...
[22:50] <FreeAtMind> lamego please answer my question
[22:50] <mwe> !universe | stasbull
[22:50] <ubotu> stasbull: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
do you know how??
[22:50] <ubuntuo> okay mwe: its working fine
[22:51] <ubuntuo> mwe: how can i check my "netstat" ?
[22:51] <Vermux> azexian: yes
[22:51] <ubuntuo> netstat -a?
[22:51] <azexian> vermux ok good, just delete the quiet and splash bit, and type single
[22:51] <Ashnal> anyone know how to fix this error? snd_ca0106: Unknown parameter `model'
[22:51] <dracula2> how can i mount a distro cd and then install with virtual box please?
[22:51] <mwe> stasbull: read ubotus comment
[22:51] <azexian> vermux this puts you into single user mode, so that you can skip the crash, and go straight to the command line
[22:51] <Junkie> Hey, I ran the updater to go from feisty to gutsy, but the window seems to have disappeared.... is it running in the background?
[22:51] <mwe> well good night all
[22:52] <Vermux> azexian: do I have to add the "--" after?
[22:52] <zoobox> killown|away: are you away? really?  but ask more at #kubuntu
[22:52] <stasbull> thanks guys... will see..
[22:52] <azexian> vermux I don't think it matters, but why not :)
[22:52] <Vermux> azexian: it was there before, after the splash
[22:52] <azexian> vermux ok, yeah keep it
[22:52] <Vermux> azexian: ok, so now I choose start or install Kubuntu option?
[22:52] <azexian> just press enter
[22:53] <azexian> vermux it should now boot with lots of text, and no splash :)
[22:53] <famicon> heya all
[22:53] <famicon> windows vista removed grub
[22:53] <famicon> how can i reinstall it
[22:53] <Vermux> azexian: right!! what is "splash"?
[22:53] <l3ttuc3> they have new ati drivers out?
[22:53] <zoobox> !EasySource
[22:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easysource - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:53] <brobostigon> !grub
[22:53] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[22:53] <azexian> vermux "splash" is the nice theme that you see when you boot
[22:53] <JensNDS> test
[22:54] <FreeAtMind> Lamego are you there??
[22:54] <azexian> vermux we delete it so you can see the command line when you get to it
[22:54] <Vermux> azexian: Ic. ok, now it stopped
[22:54] <azexian> vermux it says login: ?
[22:54] <CyberMatt> famicon, or you could use Super Grub Disk
[22:54] <Ashnal> anyone know how to fix this error? snd_ca0106: Unknown parameter `model'
[22:54] <famicon> eh, i dotn feel like burning another disk
[22:54] <Vermux> azexian: now it has the command line
[22:54] <famicon> and i found this app for windows
[22:54] <LetsGo67> Is there a way to install drivers for an Intel graphics chipset?
[22:55] <FreeAtMind> someone says if Lamego user is portuguese??
[22:55] <famicon> LetsGo67 yeah, just compile them into your kernel
[22:55] <Vermux> azexian: what is next step?
[22:55] <LetsGo67> famicon, it's called a Famicom.
[22:55] <azexian> vermux excellent, now we're getting there :), ok, first we need to format each drive
[22:55] <LetsGo67> famicon, any simple way?
[22:55] <Vermux> azexian: each partition?
[22:55] <soundray> LetsGo67: don't listen to famicon. Ubuntu comes with drivers for intel
[22:55] <iBA86> is the automatic process instal similar to installing a regular program on windows?
[22:55] <Vermux> azexian: what is the command again?
[22:55] <azexian> vermux yes, and mind you don't get the wrong one!
[22:55] <famicon> soundray ORLY
[22:55] <alexvd_> I have a mad dog entertainer 7.1 sound card that is identical to the chaintech av710.  I can get analog audio to work but no spdif.  Anyone help?
[22:55] <azexian> vermux mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda#
[22:55] <famicon> oh yeah, LetsGo67 he's right
[22:56] <LetsGo67> SoundRay: will I get a restricted drivers notification, just like nvidia?
[22:56] <famicon> you can select the driver from somewhere in the configuration menu
[22:56] <famicon> LetsGo67 no
[22:56] <LetsGo67> famicon, you should change your screenname to famicom.
[22:56] <LetsGo67> Congrats!
[22:56] <azexian> vermux and mkswap /dev/sda# for the swap partition
[22:56] <soundray> LetsGo67: no, the intel driver is free software
[22:56] <Ashnal> anyone know how to fix this error? snd_ca0106: Unknown parameter `model' I get it when trying to insert the module
[22:56] <JensNDS> any op there? my girlfriend was banned in this channel
[22:56] <famicom> dun dun dun dun
[22:56] <famicom> JensNDS what reason?
[22:56] <LetsGo67> SoundRay, Famicom: GO INTEL!
[22:56] <Vermux> azexian: so do I have to format all 3 of them?
[22:57] <JensNDS> famicom: i don't know
[22:57] <soundray> LetsGo67: make sure you have the package xserver-xorg-video-intel
[22:57] <Moduliz0r> cake
[22:57] <famicom> well she was probably being a douche
[22:57] <azexian> vermux leave the swap if you like, but it takes a matter of mins on linux
[22:57] <azexian> vermux and that's for big drivers :p
[22:57] <LetsGo67> Famicom, no, she's being a bathtub.
[22:57] <azexian> vermux drives*
[22:57] <SuPeRhOmEm> plz does anyone knows some good away script for xchat?
[22:57] <famicom> SuPeRhOmEm yeah
[22:58] <famicom> not using one
[22:58] <SuPeRhOmEm> famicom; could u tell me?
[22:58] <Ashnal> anyone know how to fix this error?  snd_ca0106: Unknown parameter `model'
[22:58] <Some_Person> Why can't you change screensaver settings in ubunut?
[22:58] <famicom> away scripts are annoying and obnoxious
[22:58] <max_> Does anyone know how to get shared folders working from ubuntu to windows? (on virtualbox)
[22:58] <LetsGo67> SuPeRhOmEm, /away
[22:58] <SuPeRhOmEm> famicom; LetsGo67 o_0,
[22:58] <Vermux> azexian: when I tried to format the sda7 (swap) it says it is mounted; will not make a filesystem here
[22:58] <soundray> LetsGo67: and configure X with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' (accept the defaults for most settings)
[22:58] <bcardarella> What is the advantage of partitioning my disk using LVM?
[22:58] <k3zo> how do i copy one users settings to another's in ubuntu? I've just setup the system for the initial user and want an exact replica for anothers
[22:59] <azexian> vermux ok, that doesn't matter, swap doesn't contain anything anyway, just leave it, but looks like you're done :)
[22:59] <SuPeRhOmEm> LetsGo67; if i'm asking for an away script.. this means I want to improove more functions to my /away command
[22:59] <famicom> bcardarella it treats your different drives as one entire filesystem
[22:59] <LetsGo67> Thank you sir soundray.
[22:59] <dracula2> how can i open a distro ISO through virtualbox?
[22:59] <famicom> so you no longer work with seperate drivers but one but drive
[22:59] <max_> you need to mount the ISO
[22:59] <bcardarella> famicom: so if I only have one drive it doesn't make sense to do this?
[22:59] <Vermux> azexian: ok, what now?
[22:59] <famicom> bcardarella i could be wrong, cause it is used for partitioning as well
[23:00] <famicom> in fact, forget whatever i said and use google
[23:00] <Vermux> azexian: now, boot again from the dvd?
[23:00] <azexian> vermux next step is to try the kubuntu live disk, if you feel lazy just type init 5 now, and it will go on, single puts you in what's called init 2, which is just for command stuff, init 5 is the gui
[23:00] <CyberGabber> dracula2: for vbox issues join #vbox
[23:00] <k3zo> can I copy the home folder and change the owner/mod of the files to copy the setup?
[23:00] <max_> #vbox
[23:01] <soundray> bcardarella: LVM allows you to have more dynamic partitioning. Factoid coming as private message...
[23:01] <soundray> !lvm > bcardarella
[23:01] <soundray> k3zo: yes
[23:01] <danand> andrewmin: Any luck with aptitude??
[23:01] <dracula2> cybergabber thank you
[23:01] <jtt> k3zo make the new user  cd default user  execute  cp -R *  /home/newuser
[23:01] <Vermux> azexian: I typed it
[23:01] <Junkie> Anyone know if the distro updater runs in the background or just exited on me?
[23:01] <Vermux> the computer makes clicks
[23:02] <azexian> vermux like it's working?
[23:02] <k3zo> jtt: sorry will that change the mod to the new user?
[23:02] <CyberGabber> jtt: And what about the users file-rights ?
[23:02] <Vermux> yes, but it made clicks like it used to do when winxp froze
[23:02] <soundray> k3zo: no, you still have to sudo chown after that
[23:02] <Some_Person> Why can't you change screensaver settings in ubunut?
[23:02] <azexian> vermux your hdd might be going :s
[23:02] <Vermux> azexian: ok, the kde is up. Im clicking install?
[23:03] <azexian> vermux go for it :)
[23:03] <azexian> vermux at least it's getting further now, isn't it?
[23:03] <jtt> k3zo sorry  perfix  command with  sudo   no should not change mod
[23:03] <Vermux> azexian: yes
[23:03] <Vermux> azexian: thank u so much
[23:03] <azexian> vermux no problem :)
[23:03] <k3zo> soundray: you don't add the execute either (i presume!) and what do you type after copying those files to change mod
[23:03] <Vermux> azexian: I will continue the installation tomorrow, because I got to go now
[23:04] <Vermux> azexian: Im leaving the computer open
[23:04] <azexian> vermux me too, hope it works, I will probably be on tomorrow if you need me :)
[23:04] <k3zo> jtt: you don't type execute do you?!
[23:04] <Vermux> azexian: thanks
[23:04] <T3> hello people
[23:04] <Vermux> bye
[23:04] <azexian> bye ;)
[23:04] <jtt> k3zo no  just  sudo and the rest of the command after  the word execute
[23:05] <danand> andrewmin: Just had a thought - if apt aptitude is not working for you, you may want to try using dpkg directly to remove the package. apt and derivatives (aptitude, synaptics, apt-get etc) are all front ends for dpkg
[23:05] <jtt> k3zo, even is you mess up you can delete the  newuser and try again
[23:05] <k3zo> lastly then how do I change own/mod afterward
[23:05] <k3zo> jtt: yeah if all else fails! ;)
[23:05] <soundray> k3zo: 'sudo chown -R newuser:newuser /home/newuser'
[23:05] <k3zo> ty so much guys
[23:05] <k3zo> peace
[23:06] <CyberGabber> k3zo: Maybe this points in the right direction ("How to copy / clone user account in Linux?")http://www.ambience.sk/user-account-copy-linux
[23:06] <Alloosh> guys, please some help here, I got new laptop, but cant connect it to internet
[23:06] <T3> when I face msgs like the below while running generic ./autogen.sh, what should I do? Probably there is some place where ac macros are defined. But I really can't found that place.

[23:06] <soundray> jtt: that's not going to affect files with names beginning with . (k3zo)
[23:07] <neverblue> T3, what are you trying to setup/install/configure ?
[23:07] <jtt> k3zo  i assumed you would interpert the *  as what ever files you wante to change
[23:08] <T3> neverblue: clanlib -> http://www.clanlib.org
[23:08] <Some_Person> Why can't you change screensaver settings in ubuntu?
[23:08] <k3zo> thanks guys gotta go watch shameless now in abit
[23:08] <jtt> k3zo  you could do  .?*  etc.
[23:08] <T3> neverblue: but, looking around internet, i saw many cases where that happens, with similar language.
[23:08] <khelll> how to watch the process that r occupying the memory
[23:09] <neverblue> T3, ok, and you think you can find support in #ubuntu because ?
[23:09] <T3> i don't believe it was caused by clanlib. Is something in my development environment
[23:09] <danand> Some_Person: You should be able to - System -> Preferences -> Screen Saver

[23:17] <neverblue> rr_lap, what did you want to do with it ?
[23:17] <jscinoz> if /proc/cpuinfo shows the ht flag, this means my cpu supports hyperthreading yes? It's a 2.2ghz centrino duo. Since it appears to support HT, how can i enable it?
[23:17] <rr_lap> i want to change my "places" but can't seem to find it in the edit menu
[23:17] <barry_> brb reading that message
[23:17] <neverblue> rr_lap, i never figured that out myself, good luck
[23:17] <rr_lap> so was thinking i could change it in a file somewhere
[23:17] <desertc> barry_: Try this:: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930
[23:17] <Some_Person> danand: however, there is a forum post that tells how to replace gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver

[23:17] <puneypunk> hi i copied aload of files in the terminal with sudo by accident, how do i change the permisions of the files back to normal so i can view them in the file manager?
[23:17] <Dr_willis> rr_lap,  change them to what? I just drag folders to the places sidebar in the filemanager to add new places.
[23:18] <rr_lap> Dr_willis: ty lol
[23:18] <jscinoz> yes, its a dual core cpu, but i imagine it could be set up as 4 logical CPUs as both cpus shown in /proc/cpuinfo have the ht flag
[23:18] <Dr_willis> rr_lap,  so  logical people over look it. :)
[23:18] <hotdog003> puneypunk: sudo chown -R usernamehere:usergrouphere files
[23:18] <soundray> puneypunk: use chown
[23:18] <jscinoz> x86info also says for each core "The physical package supports 2 logical processors"
[23:18] <genewitch> is asking my question more than once if i haven't gotten a response after some arbitrary amount of time frowned upon?
[23:18] <rr_lap> Dr_willis: i think you have helped me so much lol
[23:18] <rr_lap> i mean in the past

[23:18] <rr_lap> Dr_willis: i never knew of that panal
[23:19] <hotdog003> jscinoz: Is the bios set? Linux should automagically enable hyperthreading if it can.
[23:19] <puneypunk> hotdog003, thanks, is there a default user group?
[23:19] <rr_lap> neverblue: solved problem
[23:19] <neverblue> rr_lap, its connected with Nautilus some how
[23:19] <soundray> genewitch: no. In fact, you're encouraged to ask again after 10+ minutes of not receiving a reply
[23:19] <Dr_willis> rr_lap,  :)  sort of like people not realizing you got to rightclick in just the right place on the gnome panels to edit them
[23:19] <pteague> any idea if the nvidia drivers work with the 64bit ubuntu?
[23:19] <neverblue> rr_lap, when you said edit, I didnt just think 'add'
[23:19] <rr_lap> oh i hate that
[23:19] <juri> Hello! Does anyone know how to update php to 5.2 on Ubuntu Dapper? Thank you
[23:19] <stasbull> im trying to download it goes well but after I get such a message...
[23:19] <rr_lap> neverblue: i meant remove actuelly but same diff
[23:19] <Cpudan80> juri: On dapper?
[23:20] <pteague> juri> is 5.2 in the dapper repos?
[23:20] <Cpudan80> juri: Cant you just apt-get it?
[23:20] <Some_Person> danand: and i just did that
[23:20] <desertc> How do I select a part of an image in Inkscape?
[23:20] <jscinoz> hotdog3, yes its set in the bios, but i thought ubuntu didnt automatically enable due to some security threat where one thread could obtain cryptography keys from another.
[23:21] <danand> Some_Person: I need to catch up with this new fangled Ubuntu thing - Still in Debian mode. Does seem weird that the "new & improved" screensaver program should offer less functionality!
[23:21] <stasbull> how can I get universe?? in ubuntu...
[23:21] <Some_Person> danand: yes
[23:21] <magnetron> !universe | stasbull
[23:21] <ubotu> stasbull: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[23:22] <danand> Some_Person: How is xscreensaver :)
[23:22] <Some_Person> danand: screenshot: http://finnmetal.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/gnome-screensaver.png
[23:22] <McJerry> anyone using freeradius on gutsy?
[23:22] <Some_Person> danand: xscreensaver is good, i used it back in breezy
[23:22] <juri> Cpudan80 Dapper using PHP 5.1.2, but I need >= 5.2.1
[23:22] <brobostigon> i used xscrennsaver 10 year ago
[23:22] <genewitch> Does anyone here have experience with getting the 7.10 kernel to recognize Synaptics touchpad devices? up to and including kernel modules/recompile. Any help would be appreciated!
[23:22] <Cpudan80> juri: Is it not in the repos?
[23:22] <rsk> juri: maybe upgrade to gutsy?
[23:22] <soundray> genewitch: does yours not work at all?
[23:23] <dracula2> how can i run virtualbox as root from ubuntu?
[23:23] <juri> rsk: Is there any other way?
do you know what packeges?? I've just been there but didn't find the right thing
[23:23] <Mahone> I can't find the kernel packages in my repositories...
[23:23] <rsk> dracula2: sudo virtualbox
[23:23] <juri> Cpudan80: I don't know
[23:23] <Mahone> Can I post the content of my /etc/apt/sources.list?
[23:23] <magnetron> dracula2: i don't think you want that
[23:24] <rsk> juri: sure goto the php site, download the source. compile install. but that isn't recommended.
[23:24] <brobostigon> dracula2: you shouldnt run a vm as root, why would you want to do that.
[23:24] <soundray> Mahone: use the pastebin
[23:24] <soundray> !pastebin | Mahone
[23:24] <andrewmin> anyone know how to remove a package that doesn't want to remove?
[23:24] <ubotu> Mahone: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[23:24] <andrewmin> http://pastebin.com/f32414f73
[23:24] <Some_Person> danand: except one problem with xscreensaver, 2 of my favorite screensavers aren't in the list
[23:24] <magnetron> rsk: come on... is "sudo virtualbox" really that wise?
[23:24] <juri> rsk: Is it possible to get somewhere PHP 5.2 ubuntu package?
[23:24] <genewitch> soundray: yeah, i was troubleshooting it last night. It turns out the kernel doesn't even see it as a device.
[23:25] <rsk> magnetron: no but that's how virtualbox is run in root afaik
[23:25] <Cpudan80> juri: It doesn't look like they have 5.2.3 versiosn for dapper in the repos
[23:25] <soundray> genewitch: is it a hardware fault, possibly?
[23:25] <Cpudan80> juri: So either upgrade to gutsy, or get the package from php.net directly
[23:25] <genewitch> soundray: as in the touchpad itself is broken? That's not the case as the touchpad works in bios and on window
 Thanks for links but I need more help... can you explain it?
[23:25] <genewitch> s
[23:25] <PriceChild> stasbull, ubotu is a bot
[23:26] <hotdog003> Hello all. I have a Logitech Clicksmart 510 webcam with a custom-compiled gspca driver (it freezes my computer with the spca5xx one). Whenever a program uses it, that program seems to not 'release' it properly, so I have to unplug and plug the camera back in before another program can see it.
[23:26] <Mahone> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53087/
[23:26] <hotdog003> Any way to fix?
[23:26] <magnetron> rsk: virtualbox ska inte behöva köras med sudo
[23:26] <juri> Cpudan80: is it possible to get only PHP package from gutsy?
[23:26] <soundray> andrewmin: you can find the failing script in /var/lib/dpkg/info/armyops.postrm
[23:26] <andrewmin> soundray: ok one sec
[23:26] <danand> andrewmin: Take it aptitude didn't work - could look at using dpkg directly but think that will give you similar errors
[23:26] <Cpudan80> juri: I dont know
[23:26] <stasbull> same for me... I need this universe...
[23:26] <genii> !info libapache2-mod-php
[23:26] <ubotu> Package libapache2-mod-php does not exist in gutsy
[23:26] <andrewmin> danand: dpkg also failed
[23:26] <soundray> genewitch: do you know the device name?
[23:26] <Xteven_> ubotu: try putting a '5' at the end
[23:27] <Cpudan80> juri: It wouldn't be hard to compile it from the source --- the tar files are right on php.net
[23:27] <genewitch> soundray: er Synaptics Touchpad
[23:27] <Ette> Xteven: ubotu is a bot >>
[23:27] <Xteven_> Ette: so he told me :)
[23:27] <juri> Cpudan80: thank you. I will try.
[23:27] <soundray> genewitch: I mean the name of the pseudofile under which it should be accessed, sometimes referred to as the device name, starting with /dev/
[23:28] <danand> andrewmin: Fix your postrm script - rebuild package - install updated version??
[23:28] <danand> Some_Person: :-(
[23:28] <genewitch> Oh, dev/input/event0 (and it's kin, if i read properly)
[23:28] <soundray> genewitch: can you open a terminal window?
[23:28] <danand> andrewmin: Then remove!! :)
[23:28] <genewitch> sure can
[23:28] <Mahone> Hi, did anyone look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53087/? I have 7.10, are you able to install packages like 'kernel-headers', or 'kernel-sources'?
[23:28] <Some_Person> danand: i dont get it, but Hufo's Tunnel and Colorfire, my 2 favorites, aren't there
[23:29] <genewitch> mahone i did that last night
[23:29] <Pici> Some_Person: Make sure you have the xscreensaver-data-extra and xscreensaver-gl-extra packages installed too
[23:29] <Some_Person> Pici: i do
[23:29] <Pici> Some_Person: hm
[23:29] <soundray> genewitch: do a 'sudo cat /dev/input/event0' and see if clicking or touching your touchpad generates any output
[23:29] <danand> Some_Person: Pici beat me to it!!
[23:29] <Mahone> genewitch: Can you do it now?
[23:29] <LetsGo67> What do you guys say about Microsoft Silverlight?
[23:29] <PriceChild> !offtopic | LetsGo67
[23:29] <ubotu> LetsGo67: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[23:30] <abo> is there an advanced tool for customized screenshot in ubuntu? I need to be able to select a region in the screen to be captured
[23:30] <soundray> abo: use the regular screenshot tool and crop it with the Gimp
[23:30] <hotdog003> abo: Compiz fusion can do that.
[23:30] <LetsGo67> PriceChild: It is available for Linux as Moonlight.
[23:30] <danand> Good night all - good luck
[23:30] <LetsGo67> What do you guys say about Novell Moonlight?
[23:31] <kylcrow> anyone help me?
[23:31] <genewitch> soundray: No, it didn't. i am going to go verify the proper device, be back in a moment
[23:31] <soundray> LetsGo67: we don't discuss this here
[23:31] <Some_Person> Pici, danand: strangly enough, those two screensavers also had a bug in xFX's gnome-screensaver clone. coincidence?
[23:31] <viktor> using ubuntu gutsy 7.10: on startup when i login my keymap is turkish. i accidentally installed ubuntu with turkish keymap, is there any way to change this? thanks a million :)

[23:31] <LetsGo67> SoundRay, it is an opponement to Flash
[23:31] <Mahone> Are you able to install packages like 'kernel-headers' or 'kernel-sources'?
[23:31] <desertc> snikker: When did you see the error?
[23:32] <PriceChild> Mahone, linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[23:32] <soundray> Pici, PriceChild: I think this person wants to be kicked...

[23:32] <PriceChild> LetsGo67, #ubuntu-offtopic please.
[23:32] <Mahone> PriceChild: It says me that the package is referred by another package, but not available...
[23:33] <LetsGo67> PriceChild, it is well on topic.  Flash itself is mentioned in the topic line.
[23:33] <desertc> How do I select a part of an image in Inkscape, for use with cut-and-paste?
[23:33] <viktor> i accidentally installed ubuntu with turkish keymap, so when i logon my keys are all fked up, but inside my X ive managed to change to normal keymap. is there any way to change it in the loginsection aswell? thanks a bunch! :)
[23:33] <PriceChild> Mahone, how odd... install "linux-headers" and it should pull in your version.
[23:33] <T3> MrObvious: some miracle here... the compilation passed.. don't know what i did, but.. thanks =]
[23:34] <soundray> viktor: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[23:35] <genewitch> soundray: none of the /dev/input/* do anything when i use the touchpad
[23:35] <viktor> soundray: thanks, that will magically fix it, or do i have to do some leet hax after i use that command? :)
[23:35] <xbass2006> witam
[23:35] <Mahone> PriceChild: linux-headers-2.6.22-14 is already to the most recent version
[23:35] <PriceChild> Mahone, then it is installed
[23:35] <soundray> viktor: it's a wizard. You will see
[23:36] <viktor> soundray: thanks a million man :)
[23:36] <kylcrow_> Ok, well I am having wireless internet problems. It seems like I am losing connection every few minutes, and i have to disable then re-enable my wireless all over again to get back online.
[23:36] <Mahone> PriceChild: But my kernel version is 2.6.20-16
[23:37] <Mahone> PriceChild: I need the updated headers to install VMware Workstation, but when I try to install them, it says that they are referred, but it's not possible to install
[23:37] <kylcrow_> Ok, well I am having wireless internet problems. It seems like I am losing connection every few minutes, and i have to disable then re-enable my wireless all over again to get back online.
[23:37] <danbhfive> kylcrow_ it may be a bad connection
[23:37] <Mahone> PriceChild: My feeling is that the package has not its address in my repos...
[23:37] <kylcrow_> its been 70 percent, and I have no problem with the same laptop using windows
[23:37] <Mahone> PriceChild: Could you please give me your /etc/apt/sources.list?
[23:38] <PriceChild> Mahone, 2.6.20-16 isn't a current ubuntu released kernel is it?
[23:38] <aruonoaru> can someone help me with a java problem,
[23:38] <soundray> genewitch: just checking things here, hold on...
[23:38] <genewitch> soundray: take your time, thanks for the help :-)
[23:38] <scguy318> !source-o-matic | Mahone
[23:38] <ubotu> Mahone: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic

[23:38] <astro76> !ask | aruonoaru
[23:38] <ubotu> aruonoaru: 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. :-)
[23:38] <genewitch> soundray: I've got i8042.nomux set in the kernel thing in grub, but there was another option to try, but i can't find it again now :-( i8042.nops2 or something like that
[23:39] <solexious> Hello all, how can I check if ubuntu supports my generic pci raid card?
[23:39] <Nicksys> How do I add a password to rar files?
[23:39] <Mahone> uboty: I know source-o-matic, but if you try to access it, it isn't available now...
[23:39] <hotdog003> Nicksys: Rar is a propietary format. I doubt that you'd be able to do it with Ubuntu.
[23:39] <aruonoaru> how do i log into system administrator
[23:39] <soundray> genewitch: here's another approach: go to tuxmobil.org, look up your laptop model and see if anyone else had similar difficulties
[23:39] <hotdog003> ubotu, tell aruonoaru about sudo
[23:39] <astro76> !sudo | aruonoaru
[23:39] <ubotu> aruonoaru: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[23:39] <Mahone> PriceChild: It has been installed automaticly through Update manager...
[23:39] <danbhfive> kylcrow_ i had the same problem, try changing the channel that your wireless is operating on
[23:40] <kylcrow_> I recently put Ubuntu 7.10 on my made for Windows Laptop, help needed setting up wireless internet.
[23:40] <viktor> soundray: set of characters that should be supported by the console font" ? im swedish, what the hell should i take? XD
[23:40] <soundray> viktor: no swearing please. And I don't know, look through the list for likely candidates
[23:40] <danand> andrewmin: Just thought - dpkg -L | --listfiles package ...  List files installed to your system from package. Manual remove perhaps then update dpkg's list of installed packages
[23:40] <danbhfive> kylcrow_ i used ndiswrapper to get the wireless working, and I figure, that since its not native linux, linux has trouble restarting the NIC if the wireless drops
[23:41] <kylcrow_> ndiswrapper   can i search for that in add/remove programs
[23:41] <Mahone> Since source-o-matic isn't available, can someone please send me his/her /etc/apt/sources.list?
[23:41] <Ette> im trying to run warsow via ./warsow.i386 in terminal. it worked before and only just stopped working today. anyone know whats wrong?
[23:41] <hotdog003> The GSPCA webcam driver not release my Logitech Clicksmart 510, so I have to unplug my camera and plug it back in for other programs to get it to work. Any way to fix?
[23:41] <hotdog003> does not*
[23:42] <viktor> soundray: sorry for cussing, not my intention. I'll look through it. thanks :)
[23:42] <danbhfive> kylcrow_ if your wireless works at all, you dont need it
[23:42] <kylcrow_> ok it works for like 2 minutes   then nothing
[23:43] <danbhfive> then you don't need it
[23:43] <hotdog003> Ette: Is there an error message or something?
[23:43] <kylcrow_> Server not found
[23:43] <solexious> Hello all, how can I check if ubuntu ha drivers for my generic pci raid card?
[23:43] <Ette> hotdog003: nah just goes to a new line in termnial
[23:44] <hotdog003> solexious: The Ubuntu Wiki has an extensive hardware compatability list. I'd check that.
[23:44] <astro76> solexious: google your card model number + linux
[23:44] <rsk> solexious: easiest would be to burn the livecd bootup and se if it works :) takes 10minutes to download the cd burn it and bootup
[23:44] <astro76> !hardware | solexious
[23:44] <ubotu> solexious: 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
[23:44] <viktor> soundray: thanks again, it seems to be working fine now. :)
[23:44] <genewitch> soundray: no help there. i haven't seen many people saying "touchpad not functioning at all" mostly stuff like "scroll doesn't work"
[23:44] <hotdog003> Ette: Do you have compiz fusion running?
[23:44] <danbhfive> kylcrow_ all i can suggest, personally, is to change the channel in your router
[23:44] <kylcrow_> how do i do that?
[23:44] <Mahone> Since source-o-matic isn't available, can someone please send me his/her /etc/apt/sources.list? Sorry for repeating this, but I need kernel-headers to install VMware Workstation...
[23:44] <aruonoaru> how doi delete java folder locked on desktop, i want to remove java
[23:44] <genewitch> kylcrow: read the manual that came with your router?
[23:45] <astro76> Mahone: gutsy
[23:45] <astro76> ?
[23:45] <soundray> genewitch: it's also possible that you have to flip a setting in the BIOS setup to make it work -- "USB legacy mode" or similar.
[23:45] <danbhfive> kylcrow_ do you know how to setup your router at all?
[23:45] <kylcrow_> oh sorry,  I am at school it is all set up for me already
[23:45] <Mahone> astro76: What?
[23:45] <Ette> hotdog003: wouldn't think so, i didn't install it myself
[23:45] <aruonoaru> how do i delete java folder locked on desktop, i want to remove java from linux
[23:45] <astro76> Mahone: for version 7.10?
[23:45] <solexious> rsk: I'm runnig server, not sure how to add hardwear:::  astro: Tried with out luck, very generic ::: hotdog: Tired the forum one, will try wiki :)
[23:45] <Ette> aruonoaru: do it via synaptic
[23:46] <PurpZeY> How do I mount a folder to the desktop using SSH? I did it once before but I can't recall how
[23:46] <Mahone> astro76: Yes
[23:46] <falconer> aruonoaru, use the synaptic package manager
[23:46] <danbhfive> kylcrow_ i don't know then, sorry  :(
[23:46] <jetscreamer> there are no folders
[23:46] <kylcrow_> thanks for trying :)

[23:46] <kylcrow_> can anyone help me with my wireless internet losing connection in about 2 minutes
[23:46] <falconer> you can delete the directory from the desktop by using the rm command on the command line
[23:46] <PurpZeY> soundray: I used sshfs, I have it installed, I just don't remember what the context is
[23:47] <nominativo> i have also problems with wireless connection
[23:47] <mtwatkin> Hello, I am using ubuntu 7.10, I am looking for someone who knows about xorg.conf problems

[23:47] <hotdog003> Elle: Hmm, do you know if DRI is working?
[23:47] <genii> genewitch: Something which may work for you on this is to put as a kernel option usb-handoff
[23:47] <Ette> hotdog: WB, and whats DRI?
[23:47] <nominativo> it seems to be connected at 0%
[23:47] <hotdog003> Ette: 1sec.

[23:48] <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
[23:48] <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.
[23:48] <genewitch> genii: at the end after quiet splash and stuff?
[23:48] <kylcrow_> My wireless internet seems to lose connection after about 2 minutes
[23:48] <hotdog003> Ette:  glxinfo | grep -i "Direct rendering"
[23:48] <hotdog003> Ette: does it say yes?
[23:48] <genii> genewitch: Yes
[23:48] <Ette> hotdog003: yep, it says yes
[23:48] <soundray> genewitch: you can try it out without making a permanent change by hitting 'e' at the grub boot menu
[23:49] <hotdog003> Ette: That means your 3d card is working. I'd suggest perhaps redownloading warsow?
[23:49] <nominativo> my wireless tricks
[23:49] <kylcrow_> i didnt quit
[23:49] <genewitch> soundray: aye
[23:49] <kylcrow_> My wireless internet seems to lose connection after about 2 minutes]
[23:49] <hotdog003> Ette: Warsow 0.4 came out a few days ago and maybe it broke something...?
[23:49] <nominativo> kylcrow_ what card?
[23:49] <neverblue> kylcrow_, what router ?
[23:49] <Ette> hotdog003: i still got the zip so ill try re-unpacking it, then redownloading cause it worked yesterday (with 0.4)
[23:49] <kylcrow_> its made for windows   how do i check the card name?
[23:50] <kylcrow_>  Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01)
[23:50] <hotdog003> Ette: Yeah, check to see if the zip itself is corrupted also.
[23:50] <kylcrow_> School router
[23:50] <neverblue> kylcrow_, I really doubt its 'made for just windows'
[23:50] <nominativo> i've got a broadcom 4318
[23:50] <kazol> I have a printer that doesn't work anymore in terms of software....what should I do?
[23:50] <falconer> kazol?
[23:50] <zac_> hey guys, I just installed some wireless drivers manually and the interfaces are showing up when I do ifconfig but there's nothing shown the upper right corner for me to pick a network
[23:50] <neverblue> kazol, buy a new one...
[23:50] <zac_> its also not in /etc/network/interfaces
[23:50] <kylcrow_> neverblue: i meant the laptop was sorry   its a  Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI card
[23:50] <hotdog003> kazol: Printer name? Manufacturer?
[23:50] <zac_> I'm not sure what to add
[23:51] <kazol> falconer, neverblue: All requests to it are not printed; it worked before.
[23:51] <neverblue> kylcrow_, I didnt ask you what type of card
[23:51] <pteague> hmm...  what's the key manager in gnome that's similar to pageant in putty?
[23:51] <nominativo> i have a digicom
[23:51] <kylcrow_> im sorry   I dont know what card it is
[23:51] <nominativo> for router
[23:51] <neverblue> kazol, then what happened before it stopped printing, to cause it to no longer work ?
[23:51] <zoobox> anyone more than me that thinks it is rather irritating that the screen goes to energy saving (=turns off) before the ubuntu livecd have finnished (before I can see the desktop) ?
[23:51] <soundray> kylcrow_: broadcom devices tend to be troublesome. Consider replacing it with an Intel 2200BG
[23:51] <falconer> kazol, does the printer have a button on it to tell it to print a test page?
[23:51] <kazol> neverblue: Nothing much except resetting it.
[23:51] <hotdog003> pteague: Do an ssh-add; Putty's pagent is just a clone of ssh-agent
[23:52] <Hazarath> Ok, my laptop is having a hard time playing a video file, it's like, 1,200 bps framerate, and it's stammering bad... what can I do to fix it?
[23:52] <nominativo> intel 2200BG works?
[23:52] <neverblue> kylcrow_, you just told me what card it was, now your saying you dont know what card it is, plus I asked you what router u were using, not what card
[23:52] <kazol> falconer: Yes, it prints the test page without any problems.
[23:52] <nominativo> i'm thinking about replacing
[23:52] <pteague> hotdog003> yeah, that works on the command line, but i need it for gui
[23:52] <neverblue> kazol, resetting the printer ?
[23:52] <falconer> kazol, is it a usb printer?
[23:52] <pteague> ubotu> !pageant
[23:52] <genewitch> neverblue: someone else had asked him what                                                                                                            card he had :-)
[23:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pageant - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:52] <hotdog003> Pteague: echo /dev/zero | ssh-add
[23:52] <hotdog003> ?
[23:52] <aruonoaru> i need some 1 on 1 help for installing java and running frostwire, forums confuse me
[23:52] <kazol> falconer: No it's an archaic parallel port laser printer (from 1994 I think).
[23:52] <Ette> hotdog003: new unzip works perfectly
[23:53] <kylcrow_> neverblue: It is a school router that I can not control
[23:53] <soundray> nominativo: works extremely well here -- much better reception than the RT61 card I threw out
[23:53] <hotdog003> Ette: Brilliant. Glad you got it working.
[23:53] <kazol> neverblue: I've resetted it many times.
[23:53] <aruonoaru> i need some 1 on 1 help for installing java and running frostwire, forums confuse me
[23:53] <neverblue> kylcrow_, then possibly others at the school are having the same issues
[23:53] <nominativo> here in gutsy?^^;
[23:53] <neverblue> kazol, good to know
[23:53] <TheZealot> what is a good music player in gnome that is smallish
[23:53] <soundray> nominativo: yes
[23:53] <kylcrow_> i have no trouble with the same laptop running windows
[23:53] <neverblue> !java  | aruonoaru
[23:53] <ubotu> aruonoaru: 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)
[23:53] <nominativo> yes but I seem so near
[23:53] <soundray> TheZealot: audacious
[23:53] <pteague> hotdog003> i thought there was 1 that brought up a window like gsudo or something
[23:53] <genewitch> atheros using ath_pci working flawlessly here... x11vnc works well on it too!
[23:53] <TheZealot> thanks sound
[23:54] <hotdog003> TheZealot: If you like minimalist, I'd suggest vlc. If you want to go amarok-like, try listen
[23:54] <nominativo> soundray, may you help me
[23:54] <Hazarath> Need help playing a video file that,s like, 1,200Kbps bitrate, it's making my lappy stammer.
[23:54] <Ette> hotdog003: thanks a lot :3
[23:54] <nominativo> i think it's not a big problem
[23:54] <kylcrow_> neverblue:  i have no trouble with the same laptop running windows
[23:54] <hotdog003> pteague: That's what the echo /dev/null | part is for- when it sees that, it opens up a window... I think.
[23:54] <soundray> nominativo: what problem?
[23:54] <nominativo> I just see my network and it tells me I'm connected to NOne
[23:55] <nominativo> and NOne is not my essid
[23:55] <nominativo> i've got a broaadcom 4318 using ndiswrapper
[23:55] <soundray> nominativo: then click on the ESSID of the network you want to connect to
[23:55] <TheZealot> is the gimp the only good image editor or are there any that more resemble photoshop?
[23:55] <Hazarath> Need help playing a video file that,s like, 1,200Kbps bitrate, it's making my lappy stammer.
[23:56] <nominativo> and I'v got a michelangelo wavw by digicom for router
[23:56] <nominativo> of course
[23:56] <tarvid> what's the quickest way from a csv file to avery 5160 labels?
[23:56] <nominativo> it doesn't connect
[23:56] <kylcrow_> neverblue: i have no trouble with the same laptop running windows\
[23:56] <Vadi> How can you tell what graphics card is installer on your computer from the terminal?
[23:56] <neverblue> kylcrow_, so you dont think that right now the wireless network is the issue, its the Ubuntu or the card or driver ?
[23:56] <nominativo> or, better, it says that it's connected at 0%
[23:56] <neverblue> kylcrow_, repeating is not necessary
[23:56] <Vadi> *installed
[23:56] <soundray> TheZealot: there is a project (fork of gimp?) called gimpshop. I don't know if it's still maintained
[23:56] <neverblue> !patience | kylcrow_
