[00:00] <crimsun> mcr: #ubuntu+1
[00:00] <Jouva> frost0: Can you atleast see the PS2 to USB device plugged in and find some sort of feedback in any sort of joystick configuring application?
[00:00] <danielski_pl> Tkingdom: there is no .icons folder in /home
[00:00] <mcr> thanks crimsun.
[00:00] <frost0> Jouva, with the app i have right now...no....
[00:00] <TKingdom> danielski_pl:  Did you show hidden files?
[00:00] <danielski_pl> yes
[00:00] <frost0> Jouva, but if i recall correctly..i can get normal controller...
[00:00] <gmcastil> What's the Openoffice equivalent to a 'list' in Excel?
[00:00] <TKingdom> What version of Ubuntu?
[00:01] <Jouva> Try it with a normal PS2 controller and see if you get anything at that point
[00:01] <TKingdom> I'm sorry, its Home/Username/.icons
[00:01] <danielski_pl> TKingdom : 7.10
[00:01] <billenium> Is there a folder where all those preset wallpapers are held??
[00:01] <Photo1> z80asm! freepascal! extcalc! <3 <3 :)
[00:01] <frost0> one more question :)....is anyone here familiar with nomachine?
[00:02] <Pinchiukas_> anybody wanna help me with c++?
[00:02] <Guest25250> im not very familiar with linux and am having trouble installing a patch, can anybody offer some assistance?
[00:02] <TKingdom> Pinchiukas_: http://www.cyberdiem.com/vin/
[00:02] <yousif> hi all.
[00:03] <Photo1> I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship (between Ubuntu and myself) ;)
[00:03] <astro76> Pinchiukas_: try ##c++
[00:03] <Pinchiukas_> astro76: they're not helping :)
[00:03] <astro76> Photo1: nice
[00:03] <Guest25250> so lets say u connect to a wireless network w/ubuntu, how to you then disconnect from that network?
[00:03] <w00w00> can anyone refer me to a channel to where they can help me setup WIFI & FN keys?
[00:04] <Photo1> Thank you astro76 :)
[00:04] <danielski_pl> is there a gui to change X11 mouse themes?
[00:04] <frost0> Guest25250, can't you just right click on the network manager in the bottom right of your screen and click wireless network again to deactivate it?
[00:05] <mithro> is there a way to "blacklist" a bunch of modules which I never want to be loaded?
[00:05] <frost0> Guest25250, or just choose a different type?
[00:05] <astro76> !blacklist | mithro
[00:05] <ubotu> mithro: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u »
[00:05] <me6ez> hey all, can i use a boot image to boot linux from a usb pen drive ?
[00:05] <TKingdom> danielski_pl:  gcursors
[00:05] <TKingdom> gcursor*
[00:05] <mithro> astro76: will that prevent things from insmoding them manually?
[00:05] <gmcastil> Does anyone know how to create a list in Openoffice?
[00:05] <Guest25250> I did a google search and there were quite a few other people asking that question as well.  There is no GUI support for disconnecting from a wireless network once you have connected to it in ubuntu
[00:06] <astro76> mithro: yes
[00:06] <Guest25250> so im wondering if there is a non-gui way to do it
[00:06] <gmcastil> Guest25250: ifdown <device>
[00:06] <astro76> Guest25250: you could right-click on network manager icon and uncheck Enable Wireless
[00:06] <gmcastil> Guest25250: it'll probably be something like wlan0
[00:06] <Guest25250> well i want the wireless card enabled still for aircrack
[00:06] <frost0> Guest25250, you cant just go to start-->system-->administration-->and then network?
[00:06] <Guest25250> but i dont want it connected to anything
[00:07] <Guest25250> in windows there is an option to not "automatically" connect to known networks
[00:07] <Guest25250> it keeps recognizing it as a known network, i'd like to remove that association
[00:07] <Darkmystere> is this the correct syntax to make a VAP from my main device: wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode monitor or does Ath0 go where Ath1 is, BTW my Main Device is Atho?
[00:08] <w00w00> huhu =)
[00:08] <yousif> I have installed ubuntu phisically after weeks of virtually running it. It is great the only problem i m getting is the wireless network. When i set the password type to wpa2 in the network settings, it changes to wpa if i check it again. I ll be very happy to get any help on this. Thank you in advance
[00:08] <w00w00> hi, is there someone here who can help me setup WLAN (W200 card) on my notebook & get the FN + F2 key to fix?
[00:08] <yotux> I was using edubuntu and now I have a ubuntu normal install and can;t login any ideas
[00:08] <yotux> xession errors
[00:08] <bod_> Hey guys, ive got a new keyboard thats got a "Open your systems default email client" button on it, when i press this button it loads Evolution, how do i set Thunderbird to be my default mail client so that my keyboard opens that instead of Evolution?
[00:09] <astro76> bod_: system > prefs > keyboard shortcuts
[00:09] <danbhfive> anyone know how to check a fat32 disk for errors?
[00:09] <bod_> astro76, ty,.,.;~)
[00:09] <Darkmystere> *Ath0 no question mark
[00:10] <bod_> astro76, that only lets me set the keys function, i want to set thunderbird as the default client instead of evolution, any ideas?
[00:10] <andersbr> If there is a Mac share out on the network, should I be able to browse it from my Ubuntu laptop?
[00:10] <me6ez> does the bootimage.img on a cd work on a usb pendrive ?
[00:10] <gmcastil> Is there an Openoffice equivalent to a 'list' ?
[00:10] <TKingdom> bod_:  In thunderbird goto Preferences > General and check the first option
[00:11] <epifanio> hi ,  can you suggest me how to create an .iso image ,  from a directory ? actually i've brasero and k3b as sw to burn cd-dvd
[00:11] <bod_> TKingdom, ty,. will try now,.,.;~)
[00:11] <TKingdom> Click Check Now
[00:11] <Kanja> Hey, I've got a question - I dunno if anyone can help me
[00:11] <LtL> bod_ - system > preferences > preferred applications might be a beter solution to default apps.
[00:11] <Kanja> yesterday my terminal stopped working
[00:11] <astro76> epifanio: the command is mkiofs
[00:11] <Kanja> the command gnome-terminal starts up, I can see it in the task bar at the bottom
[00:12] <astro76> epifanio: whoops, mkisofs
[00:12] <Kanja> stays "starting terminal"
[00:12] <genii> epifanio: astro76 means mkisofs
[00:12] <astro76> my s key is getting funny :P
[00:12] <sich11> Adobe Flash has been fixed??
[00:12] <Photo1> Hmm, do I need to do something special after installing apps via Synaptic?
[00:12] <Kanja> but then it disappears without opening a command line
[00:12] <astro76> Photo1: what's up?
[00:12] <epifanio> astro76:   thanks
[00:12] <bod_> LtL, cheers that did it,.,. thank you,.,.;~)
[00:12] <Kanja> I tried downloading the xfce-terminal, thinking it was just something wrong with the command, but same problem
[00:13] <danielski_pl> TKingdom: the actual folder to use for icons is /usr/share/icons
[00:13] <Photo1> Well, I have no idea where the apps went :P gcursor starts using Alt+F2, but refuses to install the new theme
[00:13] <LtL> bod_ - welcome
[00:13] <Kanja> I can still switch into text only mode with ctr-alt-Fx
[00:13] <Photo1> Show list of know apps... roger ;)
[00:14]  * Photo1 feels wet behind the ears :)
[00:14] <genii> Kanja: mkisofs needs arguments. Examine the man page for how to use it, or google for examples
[00:14] <frank__> Does anybody know a good guide for setting up a LCD as a second monitor for a laptop?
[00:14] <TKingdom> danielski_pl:  Oh, thanks.  I use .icons in Home folder with no problem
[00:14] <Astroglide> .
[00:14]  * bod_ thinks PcWorld are sooo expensive, they charged me £40 for this wireless keyboard and mouse, RIPOFF!!
[00:14] <TKingdom> except for some cursor packs
[00:14] <jnik> does 7.10 not support ISA cards? I can't find the isapnptools on packages.ubuntu.com (need to get an AWE64 working, and manually loading the module with the ports/IRQ/DMA specified is still giving a "device not found" in alsamixer)
[00:15] <kazagistar> hello... I'm a newbie who has problems with Broadcom wireless :|
[00:15] <sich11> Adobe Flash has been fixed?? of topic, wich you mean with fixed?
[00:15] <Guest25250> .
[00:15] <kazagistar> I seriously doubt I am unique
[00:15] <crimsun> jnik: it last shipped in breezy IIRC.
[00:15] <astro76> Photo1: not sure about that one specifically but there's a man page, try man gcursor
[00:15] <danbhfive> kazagistar: well, it might get fixed in hardy
[00:15] <jnik> crimsun: thanks. Guess it's off to the source....
[00:15] <crimsun> jnik: further, you should only need sudo modprobe snd-sbawe
[00:16] <kazagistar> see, I got the driver installed, and i think its running, but I cant detect networks
[00:16] <Johnson> somehow many whole E partition has been made root, and i cant save any of my files anymore
[00:16] <epifanio> astro76:   how to use it,  (reading its help)   can you suggest me the sintax to use ?
[00:16] <Johnson> how do i change permissions
[00:17] <frank__> kazagistar: What happens when you type iwlist scan
[00:17] <jnik> crimsun: "should", yes, but....unprintable expletive. I've just been trying to load the SB-16 module, figuring I'd worry about the AWE later. modprobing sb-awe works automagically. Thanks.
[00:18]  * jnik has been around too long, still thinks kerneld is a cool idea
[00:18] <genii> epifanio: : mkisofs needs arguments. Examine the man page for how to use it, or google for examples
[00:18] <epifanio> yes i'm reading about
[00:18] <BodomLaw> i need an itunes substitute, any ideas? I need something that has the smart playlist option like on itunes, because i have a lot of music
[00:18] <Jayzer> banshee?
[00:19] <kazagistar> *2 interface does not support scanning (lo/eth1)
[00:19] <Johnson> somehow my E partition has become read only and root this is the partition i use all the time. open nautilus under root and try to change permissions but it says i can't
[00:19] <Jayzer> not sure if it has smart playlist
[00:19] <Jayzer> but you might try amarok
[00:19] <BodomLaw> deos it add songs to the playlists automatically?
[00:20] <Jayzer> actually, banshee does smart playlists
[00:20] <Jayzer> i just checked
[00:20] <m41n1> hi all
[00:20] <BodomLaw> cool
[00:20] <box-> I know it says restricted driver BUT i have ubuntu with a Geforce4 MX440 and the only screen resolution i get is 640x480 any idea what i need to do ? its using nvidia Geforce 4 Generic Driver
[00:20] <bucky2> whats the best tool to use to test random access/seek times of a hard drive?
[00:20] <m41n1> just a question
[00:20] <astro76> epifanio: here's some examples http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Mkisofs
[00:20] <BodomLaw> and is it well made, like songbird is half baked if you know what i mean
[00:20] <m41n1> i've just installed on my notebook
[00:20] <m41n1> everything goes fine but internet conection
[00:20] <Jayzer> i haven't been using it long enough to know..
[00:21] <Jayzer> it's relatively stable, but i believe there still are bugs present
[00:21] <m41n1> i can do a ping to www.google.es, and it responds
[00:21] <epifanio> astro76: great!
[00:21] <Jayzer> but the interface is clean...it's pretty decent
[00:21] <m41n1> but can access any page/ftp/ssh...
[00:21] <Jayzer> have you tried amarok?
[00:21] <m41n1> i've alrready set up the namesevers in /etc/resolv.conf
[00:21] <m41n1> but i get nothing
[00:22] <BodomLaw> no
[00:22] <biouser> Does anyone here do any txt->tex->pdf conversions?
[00:22] <BodomLaw> i havento
[00:22] <frank__> biouser: you can use openoffice. It has a function to convert
[00:22] <Jayzer> amarok is chock-full of features
[00:22] <Jayzer> and is probably the more stable of the two
[00:22] <BodomLaw> smart playlist?
[00:22] <jnik> crimsun: thank you much, just adding snd-sbawe to /etc/modules and rebooting did it. Off to lash myself with a wet noodle for overanalyzing it....
[00:22] <biouser> and frank__ hmm....
[00:23] <biouser> I am trying to use vim
[00:23] <adub> is there a gui based NES emulator for linux
[00:23] <BodomLaw> i mean 45gb of hand selected playlist is a long thing
[00:23] <LtL> Johnson - in your /etc/fstab file, what does that partition's line say?
[00:23] <rainwalker> I'm installing the linx version of google earth, and it's asking me for the binary path. what do I set?
[00:23] <BodomLaw> adub look in the systamatic package manager
[00:23] <BodomLaw> there is one in there someplace
[00:23] <astro76> adub: yes search in Synaptic, but there is fceu, and gfceu is a gui front-end
[00:23] <frank__> biouser. You don't have Openoffice.org?
[00:23] <Johnson> LtL let me open that
[00:24] <adub> astro76 is that the best gui based one
[00:24] <biouser> frank__, I do
[00:24] <BodomLaw> synaptic, sorry, im new
[00:24] <astro76> adub: best is subjective, there are many gui front-ends, but fceu is the emulator you want
[00:24] <biouser> where is menu.lst located (on a separate topic)
[00:24] <biouser> frank__, I really like pdflatex from the repos
[00:24] <danbhfive> biouser: /boot/grub
[00:25] <astro76> biouser: locate menu.lst
[00:25] <Johnson> LtL: # /dev/sda5
[00:25] <Johnson> UUID=469E-5165  /media/sda5     vfat    defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[00:25] <adub> astro76 cool thanks
[00:25] <Jayzer> BodomLaw: yeah...it has smart playlists
[00:25] <LtL> biouser - /root/grub/menu.lst
[00:25] <BodomLaw> kool
[00:25] <biouser> astro76, thanks for the 'teach a man to fish' answer
[00:25] <Jayzer> just make sure you got 1.4.8 and not 1.8
[00:25] <Jayzer> get*
[00:25] <astro76> biouser: you're welcome, I always try to ;)
[00:26] <LtL> Johnson - backup that file and append this AFTER the vfat option:  rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077 0 0
[00:26] <Flughafen> an anybody here recommend a good tv tuner card that works with ubuntu?
[00:27] <JonathanD> Flughafen: the one I had worked fine with a quick test on mythbuntu, when we were hosting the local lug...
[00:27] <astro76> Flughafen: hauppage wintv works great
[00:27] <BodomLaw> ill try out both the players
[00:27] <BodomLaw> right now im just streaming online
[00:27] <JonathanD> Flughafen: I don't remember which one it is, though :p
[00:27] <genii> Flughafen: pci/usb/pcmcia/doesn't matter?
[00:27] <astro76> Flughafen: yeah... look up the mythtv hardware compatability list, that's the best resource for linux tv card compatability
[00:27] <LtL> Johnson - then umount and remount, it may be busy awhile
[00:27] <Flughafen> astro, thanks
[00:27] <Flughafen> jonathanD, thanks
[00:28] <JonathanD> Flughafen: I'll check.
[00:28] <LtL> Johnson - better to reboot it
[00:28] <JonathanD> I know the brand, it's avermedia
[00:28] <Jayzer> i was messing with some fonts..trying to get MS fonts and some anti-aliasing...and now some web pages just flat out don't show text anymore
[00:28] <Johnson> LtL
[00:28] <Johnson> ok
[00:28] <Jayzer> namely Facebook and Ubuntu Forums
[00:28] <Johnson> i can unmount a partition?
[00:28] <Jayzer> anyone know what might be going on?
[00:28] <LtL> Johnson - backup that file just in case
[00:28] <Johnson> ok
[00:28] <zelrikriando> Facebook erkkk
[00:28]  * zelrikriando vomits
[00:28] <genii> Flughafen: My Hauppage WinTV USB2 needed some tweaking but works great. The WinTV PVR they make works out of the box.

[00:31] <Nickste> hi there. How do i switch my wifi card to rfmon mode?
[00:32] <edgeoc> I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to, or direct me to a how-to, on booting/installing ubuntu off of a USB memory drive? I have found plenty of sites describing how to setup the usb drive from within a liux system, but I am doing this on a windows box... Is this a posibility?
[00:32] <BodomLaw> edgeoc
[00:32] <Danielle_pl> ive got a feeling compiz fusion doesnt like nvidia
[00:32] <BodomLaw> google damnsmall linux
[00:32] <BodomLaw> or get the ubuntu live cd
[00:33] <johnson_> pete, you are an butt head...I've asked you to stop with the nick
[00:33] <edgeoc> well, the system im going to put it on does not have a cd drive, so thats why i want to do it off usb
[00:33] <Airthus> Does anyone know a a Linux version of a ZIP Password Recovery tool?
[00:33] <astro76> wrong channel johnson_ ?
[00:33] <taz> hi
[00:33] <ninix> anyone can tell me how secure NFS share ? i.e only for user "s0nix"
[00:33] <BodomLaw> edgeoc why is it that old?
[00:33] <edgeoc> no, that new
[00:33] <edgeoc> heh
[00:33] <edgeoc> i could get a usb cd drive
[00:33] <BodomLaw> heh
[00:33] <Airthus> macbook air?
[00:33] <Airthus> lol
[00:33] <edgeoc> but i wanted to avoid that if possible
[00:34] <edgeoc> x61 ibm
[00:34] <BodomLaw> so why deosnt it have a cd drive?
[00:34] <zachalink> Major crisis: ever since I installed the last updates for ubuntu, my video is malfunctioning: it's set at 640x320 resolution, I can't get into settings, and my tasks on taskbar still don't show up.
[00:34] <BodomLaw> i dont know ibm computers
[00:34] <taz> any one can help me.... u know when start computer turn on.. username and password..... so how i can find and change password ??
[00:34] <zachalink> I actually have to use knoppix live cd in order to access this chatroom. quite sad, isn't it?
[00:34] <BodomLaw> enough be know how old an x61 is
[00:34] <Invisible_Ubunti> BodomLaw, you don't really secure it by "User" you secure it by Network address, IP Address etc..
[00:34] <Zeddie> well you don't :) you go into single user mode and change the password :)
[00:34] <BodomLaw> what?
[00:35] <Eyemean> hi can anyone recommend a cpu overclocking softare?
[00:35] <Airthus> Does anyone know of a Linux version of a ZIP Password Recovery tool?
[00:35] <Zeddie> taz : don't know the exact details but that should get you started :)
[00:35] <zachalink> So how can I fix this major ubuntu crisis without resintalling the os? as I don't want to reinstall WoW because I can't do it with dvd and I only got dvds.
[00:35] <taz> umm ok
[00:35] <Invisible_Ubunti> Eyemean, there is no CPU overclocking software its all done by Multipliers in the BIOS
[00:36] <Ashfire908> Eyemean, powernowd can do processor freq scaling
[00:36] <Ashfire908> Eyemean, not problay what you want though
[00:36] <Danielle_pl> sometimes windows has more advantages
[00:36] <Invisible_Ubunti> zachalink, why not redo your xorg.conf
[00:36] <zachalink> go on... =)
[00:36] <Invisible_Ubunti> zachalink, make sure your using the Repo drivers and its configured proper
[00:37] <Eyemean> invisible_ubunti, multiplier not work on mine, but cpucool is software in windows which works, but i wanted something in linux aswell
[00:37] <zachalink> And how I would do that would be... =)
[00:37] <astro76> zachalink: have you used envy or automatix?
[00:37] <Invisible_Ubunti> Eyemean, what proc?
[00:37] <Eyemean> cheers ashfire908
[00:37] <Celes> okay..
[00:37] <zachalink> yes, I used envy to reinstall the drivers, and it went worse.
[00:37] <zachalink> From bad to worse.
[00:37] <Eyemean> xp2000+
[00:37] <solexious> [Q] Can i make passworded folders in ubuntu?
[00:37] <Invisible_Ubunti> zachalink, how did you get your video working properly the 1st time ;)
[00:37] <astro76> zachalink: that's why your system is broke now
[00:37] <Demonho-br> solexious, nice nickname
[00:37] <astro76> !envy
[00:37] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[00:37] <solexious> Demonho, ty
[00:37] <Eyemean> invisible_ubuntu, i know its crap chip, but im just getting to grips with overclocking befor ei upgrade
[00:38] <zachalink> Um... by just using envy.
[00:38] <astro76> zachalink: I'd recommend reinstall and not use envy next time
[00:38] <astro76> yes
[00:38] <Invisible_Ubunti> zachalink, ATI or Nvidia?
[00:38] <Danielle_pl> which is better ubuntu or slackware?
[00:38] <Celes> my sister needs a colour for her video codec.. and it only shows up black and white:( is there any way to fix this?
[00:38] <bruenig> Danielle_pl, slackware
[00:38] <zachalink> envy worked perfectly, it was probably emerald... >.>
[00:38] <zachalink> nvidia.
[00:38] <doofy`> does anyone use lyx to create latex documents and know how to add the packages from texlive that are in the repos to it?
[00:38] <zelrikriando> anyone does video editing here?
[00:38] <Invisible_Ubunti> Slackware if you have time to read if your lazy ubuntu
[00:38] <astro76> zachalink: it works perfectly until it breaks when the kernel is upgraded
[00:38] <johnficca> is there a way to compile something on my 64 bit desktop ubuntu so it can be installed on a imac g3 powerpc ubuntu?
[00:39] <Photo1> Blender is insanely slow. Can I set it to use my working accel mode somehow?
[00:39] <zachalink> oh
[00:39] <Invisible_Ubunti> johnficca, no there is no way they are completely diffrent archs
[00:39] <h-town> i've done a dual boot with vista and ubuntu before, but I was wondering if there is a way to configure my partition so that ubuntu has like 75% of my drive and vista has 25% or even less?
[00:39] <zachalink> so I have to do a reinstall and not use envy? =(
[00:39] <Danielle_pl> im using buntu x86 and have a amd64, y wont buntu 64 install?
[00:39] <Invisible_Ubunti> Danielle_pl, what did it say why it won't?
[00:39] <genii> Invisible_Ubunti: google cross-compiling. It can be done.
[00:39] <zelrikriando> h-town: that s easy fix, uninstall vista
[00:40] <Invisible_Ubunti> genii, is it advised?
[00:40] <Danielle_pl> Invisible_ubuntu: just says unable to install
[00:40] <astro76> zachalink: it's probably the easiest and quickest way... I don't know how to fix it and it's not supported in this channel for that reason
[00:40] <Johnson_> LtL: i tried rebooted and it still is marked as read only whcih sucks because all my info is on there, and i havent modified any files. i was using eclipse. then all of a sudden i couldnt't save anymore
[00:40] <zachalink> okay then
[00:40] <genii> Invisible_Ubunti: Ideally no. But possible.
[00:40] <h-town> i've done that and I had massive problems, ubuntu won't recognize the old vista partition, even though i've used gparted to format it properly
[00:40] <Invisible_Ubunti> genii, that is why I was advising not to because its not idea especially if he compiles and has problems later on ;P
[00:41] <h-town> would my best bet be to install ubuntu, and then vista?
[00:41] <Invisible_Ubunti> brb must reboot
[00:41] <zelrikriando> h-town: overwrite you vista partition with some linux distro
[00:41] <Invisible_Ubunti> h-town, vista then ubuntu
[00:41] <zelrikriando> it works great
[00:41] <h-town> but when i install vista first it only lets me partition half of my drive and no more
[00:42] <LtL> Johnson_ - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions?highlight=%28mount%29
[00:42] <zelrikriando> h-town: do not install vista then :)
[00:42] <bod_> hey guys,. whenever i try to watch a full screen video in mozilla, a program called npviewer takes over and displays the film, but it starts off as a small screen, which i have to maximize,. how do i make npviewer maximize when its loaded?
[00:42] <Danielle_pl> can i use the nvidia driver that came with ubuntu to use compiz-fusion or do i have to install non-free?
[00:42] <bruenig> Danielle_pl, non free
[00:43] <Danielle_pl> oh hell no
[00:43] <Airthus> Does anyone know of a Linux version of a ZIP Password Recovery tool?
[00:43] <Photo1> Danielle_pl: why ask then ?
[00:43] <zelrikriando> h-town: installing Vista will remove grub by the way
[00:44] <h-town> i want vista for games, I understand you can use wine and all that but I want the ease of just installing and playing no problem, i use ubuntu for EVERYTHINg esle
[00:44] <h-town> yeah i know that
[00:44] <Danielle_pl> photo1: wanted to know coz last time i did that, my computer started in low graphics mode all the time, couldnt play 3d games, and had to reformat
[00:44] <h-town> i've dealt with that problem before
[00:44] <zelrikriando> h-town: why not trying XP ?
[00:44] <zelrikriando> Vista is not as nice I was told
[00:45] <h-town> cause I already got a vista CD with my laptop and I don't want to pay money for more microsoft
[00:45] <NW2190> Does anyone know how to fix the Jack Audio Server?

[00:47] <unstable> I am trying to setup gutsy to share printing, I have an HP printer connected via USB to gutsy. I can print fine from gutsy, I need to setup sharing so this Vista laptop can print using the printer connected to the Gutsy desktop.
[00:48] <unstable> Can a vista laptop print to a gutsy desktop that has a printer attached to it over the network?
[00:48] <bod_> elkbuntu, cheers
[00:48] <h-town> here's what I tried last: i formated my vista drive completely, using gparted I changed it to the correct format for ubuntu (i used the forums) but in My Computer the old vista drive is locked and can't be accessed
[00:48] <Airthus> Does anyone know of a Linux version of a ZIP Password Recovery tool?
[00:48] <xopher> do I need to have cool'n'quiet enabled in bios for freq. scaling to work on my amd64 cpu?
[00:48] <bod_> unstable, dont see why not,,
[00:48] <h-town> i tried to change the boot menu or whatever it's called, but I couldn't get it to work cause i'm a stoner
[00:48] <bod_> h-town, are you looking at the "My computer" folder from ubuntu?
[00:49] <elkbuntu> unstable, you may have to disable apparmor
[00:49] <h-town> i mean Computer from Places
[00:49] <Flughafen> whats the best software for a tvtuner card in gutsy?
[00:49] <zelrikriando> h-town: you mean on ubuntu you cant see the old vista part?
[00:49] <bod_> oh
[00:49] <h-town> i can see it, it's labeled Lost and Found
[00:49] <astro76> unstable: go to http://localhost:631/ in a web browser
[00:49] <h-town> with an X over the icon
[00:50] <h-town> in my filesystem
[00:50] <unstable> astro76: What do I do there?
[00:50] <unstable> astro76: I can see my printer listed, but how can I tell if the vista laptop can see me on the network?
[00:50] <Pie-rate> Does AOL dialup require some kind of software to connect? I'm helping a neighbor set up an ubuntu box, they have AOL dialup (yeah, it's the only feasable connection here), i tested the modem with a free dialup service and it worked. AOL isn't, however. the modem makes its annoying noises, and then the tx/rx lights flash a little, and then all the lights go off and it disconnects. I was thinking it either got the wrong login info or it n
[00:51] <astro76> unstable: you can enable printer sharing.. you can also use the Printing control panel
[00:51] <Pie-rate> WALL OF TEXT
[00:51] <astro76> unstable: you'll just use IPP in windows with the IP address of your pc
[00:51] <bod_> Pie-rate, you need the aol browser program yes
[00:51] <astro76> unstable: IPP is an option when you add a printer
[00:52] <jay> does anyone know where to get a windows xp image for VMWare?
[00:52] <unstable> astro76: I go o administration, and I check the boxes under basic server settings that say "show printers shared by other systems", and "share published printers connected to this system" right?
[00:52] <ironfoot> I have a problem with apache2 can someone help me?
[00:52] <godlikekill> hey i lost the network icon in task whats that called?
[00:52] <unstable> astro76: and what port?
[00:52] <jay> !windows
[00:52] <bod_> jay, your xp disc?
[00:52] <ubotu> For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents
[00:53] <nemilar> Pie-rate: I don't believe you can use AOL with Linux
[00:53] <astro76> unstable: I don't think you'll have to specify
[00:53] <nemilar> Pie-rate: best you could do is maybe run it in wine?
[00:53] <Pie-rate> nemilar: lol
[00:53] <jay> bod_ any instructions on how to create an image?
[00:53] <bod_> nemilar, how can he get wine without aol?
[00:54] <nemilar> Pie-rate: actually googling for AOL in Linux gives a little hope
[00:54] <Pie-rate> bod_: by using my own t1 connection?
[00:54] <bod_> jay, iso,.,. but go to a windows channel ##windows
[00:54] <Pie-rate> bod_: i did say my neighbor
[00:54] <godlikekill> The Netowkr button in task is called what i ned that for my wireless
[00:54] <astro76> Pie-rate: how close is your neighbor? you should sell him some wireless access ;)
[00:54] <putnum> how can i get ubuntu to boot up to a command line instead of the kde?
[00:54] <nemilar> Pie-rate: yeah man, hook up your neighbor with some t1 action
[00:54] <Pie-rate> astro76: too far.
[00:54] <bod_> Pie-rate, true,.,. if you could get wine onto your neighbours system, then just follow the instructions for a windows installation,. but run all exe's through wine
[00:54] <nemilar> Pie-rate: how dare you let someone use AOL when you have a t1
[00:54] <Pie-rate> astro76: neighbor=1 mile here
[00:55] <nemilar> Pie-rate: run some cat6 or coax or somethin ;)
[00:55] <godlikekill> Whast the ICON for network in TASK called and HOW do i get it BACK
[00:55] <bod_> Pie-rate, neighbour,. is next door isnt it? or a few doors down,. not a mile??lol,.,.;~)
[00:55] <astro76> Pie-rate: you can do that but you'd need line of sight
[00:55] <Pie-rate> nemilar: they can't afford a mile of cable
[00:55] <nemilar> bod_: it depends where you live
[00:55] <Pie-rate> astro76: i know, we don't have line of sight. trees.
[00:55] <astro76> aww
[00:56] <nemilar> Pie-rate: if AOL hasn't changed its protocol, something like this might work: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialAOL.html
[00:56] <bod_> nemilar, really?? wow,.,. strange,. and i suppose it depends whether or not your christian,.,.;~)
[00:56] <Ashnal> so how can i get my sound card to be used instead of my onboard?
[00:56] <Invisible_Ubunti> Anyone know how to change the grub splash screen?
[00:56] <bod_> Ashnal, i believe its asoundconfig,.,. lemme check
[00:56] <nemilar> bod_: in the city your neighbor might be across the hall... in farm-land it might be miles awa
[00:56] <nemilar> +y
[00:57] <nemilar> Ashnal: you could disable the onboard in the bios
[00:57] <bod_> Ashnal, have a look at     man asoundconf
[00:58] <bod_> nemilar, pointlessasoundconf, can set default sound cards
[00:58] <bod_> space*
[00:58] <Pie-rate> nemilar: why does aol have to do that crap
[00:58] <Pie-rate> what's a dialup service that works?
[00:58] <bod_> Invisible_Ubunti, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30341
[00:58] <nemilar> Pie-rate: proprietary is AOL's middle name
[00:58] <Vasilii> do anyone know which command opens lnguage-selector?
[00:58] <Vasilii> language-selector*
[00:58] <bod_> Pie-rate, the old pipex is good
[00:59] <Pie-rate> nemilar: i figured
[00:59] <nemilar> Pie-rate: anything that uses standard dial-up protocols will work fine
[01:00] <Jed> can anyone help me with a problem i have trying to run ubuntu from live cd?
[01:00] <bod_> !anyone | Jed
[01:00] <ubotu> Jed: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:00] <nemilar> Pie-rate: really, though, I bet you could figure out a way to share your connection.. It's a long distance but I'm willing to bet there's a way
[01:00] <Indiadev_Techie> Jed: ok... whats ur problem.................
[01:00] <bod_> Jed, whats up?
[01:00] <Ashnal> so now why would mplayer still put sound through my onboard when its set to use alsa and alsa is set to use my sound card?
[01:01] <bod_> Ashnal, did you set your default sound card through     asoundconf?
[01:01] <Jed> sorry im not good at speaking english, im doing my best
[01:01] <bod_> Jed, dont worry
[01:01] <Jed> when i run it from cd,,, an error shows up,, it says
[01:01] <Jed> Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcodes.fw" not available or load failed"
[01:01] <recon> is it mandatory to set up swap on a new install? if so, how much?
[01:01] <Jed> i dont know why it happens
[01:02] <Ashnal> bod_ yes
[01:02] <themunkee> I am using xubuntu, how can i view shared folders on a windows machine?
[01:02] <genii> Jed: You need the broadcom firmware
[01:02] <bod_> Ashnal, not sure im afraid,. i dont use mplayer
[01:02] <Jed> how can i get it
[01:02] <zh> hello
[01:02] <bod_> hi
[01:02] <Pie-rate> nemilar: no. for starters, we'd have to support them. also, the setup costs would be prohibitively high for them and they would be a security risk.
[01:03] <Ashnal> bod_: its not mplayer only, VLC, firefox, all use my onboard still
[01:03] <genii> Jed: http://www.langerland.de/linux/bcm43xx/firmware.html
[01:03] <siretfel> hi
[01:03] <bod_> Ashnal, probably best to disable the onbaord card,.,. have you rebooted since you set the default?
[01:03] <zh> i know little english
[01:03] <Pie-rate> nemilar: plus, they would use our bandwidth, and we'd have to add some kind of throttling that would cost more money or time to implement.
[01:03] <siretfel> can i ask question here about ubuntu?
[01:03] <pygmymath> siretfel: yes :)
[01:04] <bod_> zh, thats ok,.,. what is your problem?
[01:04] <Ashnal> bod_: no i just updated my alsa drivers to 1.0.16
[01:04] <siretfel> thanx
[01:04] <jimmygoon> Is there a way to force regeneration of menu.lst because I had to reinstall grub and my xp entry is missing. I don't mind doing it manually, but it would be easier....
[01:04] <Jed> thank you very much genii
[01:04] <joecurlee> hi all, I've finally got ubuntu installed on my new machine (I'm a newb here). using ati x1050 integrated display so from research i've found i need radeonhd
[01:04] <joecurlee> installed radeonhd via synaptic
[01:04] <genii> Jed: Wait, not there, just a list
[01:04] <Jed> oh
[01:04] <bod_> Ashnal, make sure everythings fully updated then make sue the default is set then do a reboot,. then think bout disabling
[01:04] <nomic> anyone know how i enable the 'restricted' component in feisty fawn?
[01:04] <zh> first come here
[01:05] <Jed> what should i do?
[01:05] <bod_> zh, ok
[01:05] <jimmygoon> nomic, what restricted componenet? and why not up to gutsy?
[01:05] <joecurlee> uninstalled all other ati drivers... just tried configuring xserver-xorg via command line, and now I can't find any radeonhd driver (or any other ati driver of course)
[01:05] <joecurlee> so now what?
[01:05] <jimmygoon> !restricted
[01:05] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:05] <nomic> because aticonfig doesn't work in gutsy
[01:05] <zh> i kown here little
[01:05] <jimmygoon> ah, okay, see what ubotu spit out above
[01:05] <jimmygoon> !grub
[01:05] <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
[01:05] <jay> my cd drive doesnt work is there somewhere to download windows xp vmware app?
[01:05] <nomic> ty
[01:05] <bod_> zh, what is your problem?
[01:05] <pygmymath> nomic: not needed to use the aticonfig
[01:06] <Zamboli> hey, im just trying to compile an app, but i get  ./configure: error: C compiler cannot create executalbes
[01:06] <nomic> i need it to configure dual head on my ati card
[01:06] <pygmymath> nomic: on a 1650 sapphire
[01:06] <jimmygoon> jay, there is virtual box which is free, vmware server which is also free, and then there is the best IMO, vmware workstation which may or may not be easy to get keys for :D
[01:06] <Creationist> Can anyone suggest a good Ruby IDE for a new programmer like me (although I do know VB fairly well)?
[01:06] <pygmymath> nomic: ah.. never ventured into dual head
[01:06] <jimmygoon> jay, I used virtualbox which has a OSS version, but VMware's stuff is better
[01:06] <siretfel> can you guys rewind in mplayer while whatching videos in firefox?
[01:06] <jimmygoon> Creationist, what would such an IDE do?
[01:06] <zh> i donot have
[01:06] <bod_> zh, what is your native language?
[01:07] <nomic> works really well with maximum resolution i just forgot how
[01:07] <joecurlee> i'm thinking i'm screwed right now... also: wasn't able to enable radeonhd via ubuntu interface
[01:07] <pygmymath> siretfel: nope.
[01:07] <zh> chinese
[01:07] <jimmygoon> Creationist, jedit has some Ruby parsing and project management and has tons of extensions
[01:07] <siretfel> excelent
[01:07] <siretfel> hahaha
[01:07] <Creationist> jimmygoon: Syntax highlighting, indentation, interpreter
[01:07] <siretfel> thought i was the only one

[01:07] <Creationist> etc.
[01:07] <siretfel> :D
[01:07] <jay> jimmygoon: i installed vmware-server but i dont have a vm appliance for windows xp
[01:07] <jimmygoon> Creationist, jedit should do all of those things
[01:07] <pygmymath> siretfel: thats only me though heh i've not looked into it much.. prefer to download stuff mysel
[01:07] <zh> thanks
[01:07] <jay> jimmygoon: my cd drive is messed up and im trying to find somewhere to download one
[01:07] <bod_> zh,  no problem
[01:07] <jimmygoon> jay, you mean a Virtual Machine?
[01:08] <genii> Jed: You also need bcm43xx-fwcutter package incidentally. http://svit.epfl.ch/stuff/wl_apsta.o
[01:08] <jimmygoon> I just told you - VMware or virtualbox etc
[01:08] <Creationist> jimmygoon: Better than Arachnoruby?  I'm kind of interested in a ruby-only IDE.
[01:08] <bod_> jay, you want to download a cd drive?
 comon don't spoil it for me man!! haha
[01:08] <johnficca> where do I download the ubuntu dvd repos from
[01:08] <johnficca> ?
[01:08] <Creationist> jimmygoon: Others are usually complicated for me... can't tell what is meant for Ruby or other languages.
[01:08] <pygmymath> siretfel: heh. totem is generally better btw (with gxine backend)
[01:08] <jay> jimmygoon, bod_ : lol no, i want windows xp for vmware-server
[01:08] <jimmygoon> Creationist, um, its probably not *Better*, I don't know of that IDE, but honestly ... the things you are looking for aren't specific to Ruby... you ought to look for somethign that instead does those things well, which I think jedit does
[01:08] <genjix> someone please help me... I am going to be thrown out of university unless I can hand in my overdue coursework which is already late. My extension is for tommorow.

[01:09] <jay> bod_: I have a cd key, i just need the cd....
[01:09] <genjix> it worked fine always before
[01:09] <Creationist> jimmygoon: Alright, I'll take a look.  Thanks.

[01:10] <joecurlee> just tried editing xorg.conf myself. made "radeonhd" my display driver to no avail
[01:10] <jimmygoon> Creationist, that last link is probably what you are looking for
[01:10] <bod_> jay, do you have the cd though? no one is gonna give you an iso of there xp instalation cd,.,. or is very unlikely to
[01:10] <themunkee> i need to view shared folders on windows xp
[01:10] <Jed> ok, thank you very much genii, im gonna give it a try
[01:10] <RaptorQuest> I get "Could not add buddy to server list" when trying to add a Buddy in Pidgin - where is it and how do I add to it and am I in the right place to ask this?
[01:10] <pygmymath> genjix: tried a different burning program?
[01:10] <joecurlee> can't get past the "running local boot scritps (/stc/rc.local)" line in the start up screen
[01:10] <jimmygoon> themunkee, you shouldn't have to do anything, ubuntu has built in samba
[01:10] <jimmygoon> !samba > themunkee
[01:10] <genjix> pygmymath, what else is there except cdrecord?
[01:10] <genii> joecurlee: Hit enter
[01:10] <Creationist> jimmygoon: Definitely interested in a RAD environment.
[01:10] <jay> bod_ yea i have the cd, came with my laptop but i installed ubuntu over it and since my cd drive has stopped workin
[01:11] <genjix> everything uses cdrecord as far as i know.
[01:11] <Creationist> jimmygoon: Thank you.
[01:11] <jimmygoon> Creationist, absolutely. good luck
[01:11] <jay> bod_: its ok, i thought there would be a free vmware application for xp, i use to have one that let me test ie6 when i ran xp
[01:11] <Pie-rate> would earthlink use a normal protocol?
[01:11] <joecurlee> genii: that didn't do anything but move the cursor down the screen
[01:11] <themunkee> jimmygoon: i'll look at that, thanks
[01:11] <siretfel> problem 2: in pidgin i cannot get any file transfers at all (receive i mean). In Kopete I do receive up to a point like 34%. Any suggestions?
[01:11] <crimsun> genjix: there's wodim.
[01:11] <zelrikriando> RaptorQuest: maybe you made a typo when you put the name in
[01:11] <Creationist> heh... unfortunately, I can't use the web when I have Transmission or KTorrent or Deluge running.
[01:11] <bod_> jay,  i suggest you get the cd fixed instead of trying to get an iso,.,. pastebin the output of     dmesg
[01:11] <genjix> aha i'll try wodim
[01:11] <genii> joecurlee: Try ctrl-c then
[01:11] <RaptorQuest> 12 times?
[01:12] <nemilar> Pie-rate: I used to use netzero in linux, but that was a long, long time ago
[01:12] <joecurlee> genii: also nothing
[01:12] <pygmymath> genjix: everything in add/remove if you're desperate heh
[01:12] <zelrikriando> RaptorQuest: yes it happens...
[01:12] <nemilar> Pie-rate: back when it was free and ad-supported, I just connected standardly, and so there were no ads for me :)
[01:12] <genjix> i am very desperate
[01:12] <genjix> i made an iso using k3b
[01:12] <pygmymath> woh :/
[01:12] <prefect> nemilar: heh, yah .. you could use the local dialup # , and format the username / password in such a way ... fre internet
[01:12] <jay> k thanks
[01:12] <zelrikriando> RaptorQuest: which type of account on pidgin?
[01:12] <pygmymath> genjix: cant you hand it in on a usb stick?
[01:12] <RaptorQuest> not to me - twice or three times maybe, but then I double check my source
[01:13] <genii> joecurlee: Is this first boot or was it previously working?
[01:13] <nemilar> NetZero Platinum Internet service for the Linux operating system currently supports Linspire. @ Pie-rate
[01:13] <genjix> i have no usb stick and it says explicitly a cd...
[01:13] <genjix> man im fucked
[01:13] <nemilar> Pie-rate: so I'm guessing you could get it for Ubuntu
[01:13] <genjix> wodim says the same as cdrecord

[01:13] <Ashfire908> what is a file's "status time" and what does that mean
[01:13] <joecurlee> genii: was working before removing all ati / vesa drivers
[01:13] <MrRoland> hey, I have a problem. lots of things missing from the administration panel, if I try to configure and add any of them like control center it will select it and in 2 seconds will deselect it back, any ideas ?
[01:13] <formolQC> tvtime work at the first time for me
[01:13] <pygmymath> genjix: tried rebooting a few times?
[01:14] <RaptorQuest> and I have other hotmail entries imported fron YM
[01:14] <genjix> yes
[01:14] <genii> joecurlee: And how did you go about doing this driver removal procedure?
[01:14] <siretfel> anyways...i'll try asking again tomorrow. GOODNIGHT ubuntuers!!!!!!
[01:14] <bod_> jay having said that, if theres was somehow i could send you an iso of my xp, i would
[01:14] <Iradieh> Does anyone know how to reset a firmware on a laptop DVD-rom?
[01:14] <pygmymath> genjix: and i take it the cdrom drive is picking up the blank cd
[01:14] <genjix> sometimes and sometimes not
[01:14] <pygmymath> siretfel: night!
[01:14] <joecurlee> genii: but was crap graphics... also after installing radeonhd I never saw the option to switch to it via gui or shell.
[01:14] <joecurlee> genii: to uninstall i used synaptic
[01:14] <genii> joecurlee: That is not an answer to the question
[01:14] <pygmymath> genjix: googled the error messages?
[01:15] <genii> joecurlee: OK, second reply is :)
[01:15] <joecurlee> sorry about that :)
[01:15] <genjix> pygmymath, yep
[01:15] <genii> joecurlee: So previously you were using in the xorg.conf file what? radeon as the driver name?
[01:15] <genjix> been reading this so far http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=676848&page=3
[01:16] <joecurlee> genii: no it was "vesa"... was having problems booting with that too though, would give me "safe graphics mode"
[01:16] <pygmymath> genjix: sudo apt-get install gnomebaker     ?
[01:16] <genjix> ok ill try
[01:16] <joecurlee> genii: also when I woudl attempt to switch driver from command line via "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" it would not let me change from "vesa"... very weird
[01:17] <pygmymath> genjix: sudo apt-get install brasero \
[01:17] <MrRoland> well ? no Idea?
[01:17] <TaintedTux> Any idea why my mpd library might not update in sonata? /etc/mpd.conf is correct
[01:17] <genii> joecurlee: vesa is the fallback/failsafe driver. removing it is not good. If you are still ale, I would recommend boot to Recovery. then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg    no -phigh which only gives resolution settings
[01:17] <Hammer89> I have a USB drive with 2 partitions on it... how do I reformat it so it has only one fat32 partition?
[01:18] <genii> joecurlee: Back up your existing xorg.conf first
[01:18] <joecurlee> genii: i see, thanks for that info. so can i reinstall vesa some how?
[01:19] <genii> joecurlee: you can use apt-get at commandline for it
[01:19] <joecurlee> ko
[01:19] <joecurlee> *ok
[01:19] <genii> joecurlee: EG: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-vesa
[01:22] <Hammer89> nevermind... figured it out :)
[01:23] <MrRoland> so this means I have to reinstall :(
[01:24] <joecurlee> genii: thanks, i have vesa now... going to restart. any idea why i can't get radeonhd working?
[01:25] <genii> joecurlee: Not offhand.
[01:25] <joecurlee> genii: not so much "can't get it working" as "can't even see it in the list of drivers"
[01:25] <joecurlee> ok... i'll keep googling... very frustrating. I'll most likely have to get a better video card... stupid on board ati pos
[01:25] <genii> joecurlee: As far as I know the HD ati drivers are just in the fglrx main one.
[01:25] <joecurlee> oooh you might be right
[01:26] <joecurlee> that actually might make sense. crap
[01:26] <joecurlee> although synaptic didn't saying anything about dependancies
[01:26] <putnum> is there a gui to the xorg? I want to set my refresh rate for my monitor but wanted a gui
[01:27] <joecurlee> genii: thank you very much for the vesa help, got it working again :)
[01:29] <genii> joecurlee: np

[01:32] <ubotu> Creationist: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:32] <stdin> genjix: do you intentionally ignore peoples requests that you watch the language?
[01:33] <prefect> I think Ruby on Rails is for web based programs .. but I don' know for sure .. sorry not very helpful, heh
[01:33] <unstable> astro76: I'm able to print from my desktop, which is directly connected to my printer via usb. and I"m able to ping my desktop ip from my laptop(vista), I added my desktop ip in vista, as a printer, went through the whole dialog, did a test print..and nothing happened.
[01:33] <mahmoud_> Creationist: Ruby on Rails is a web framework written in ruby
[01:33] <Blizzard-> Can someone help me with that?
[01:34] <putnum> anybody know?
[01:34] <ballzack3> Will the hardware manager tell me what my ram is detected as?
[01:34] <prefect> Blizzard-: start with the live cd , the choose install, and select the partition you want it on .. then , follow the prompts
[01:35] <jack> ballzack3: type free in a term
[01:35] <putnum> is there a gui frondend for xorg?
[01:35] <ballzack3> I mean is it detected as 533Mhz
[01:36] <DASPRiD> hellas, little problem: just installed apache2 with php5 on a fresh machine, restarted apache2 and downloaded phpmyadmin. but when i point the browser to the phpmyadmin dir, the browser tries to download the index file. nothing in the apache2 error log.
[01:36] <jack> ballzack3: I would think you can find out in the bios/cmos on boot
[01:36] <ballzack3> thanks, i didn't know about free
[01:37] <nickrud> putnum: no, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   in a terminal will give you a sorta gui though
[01:37] <Blizzard-> prefect...?
[01:37] <prefect> yah ??
[01:37] <ballzack3> jack, i can but i thought there would be a mmint way to do it - my bios says it's 533mhz, but the x86 memtest boot option program says it's 1/2 that
[01:37] <putnum> ok thanks nick
[01:37] <box-> any idea what i have to lower the display settings from the recovery mode ? my monitor wont display what its trying to set
[01:38] <box-> isnt there a xorg.conf file or something ?
[01:38] <Blizzard-> I PMed you.
[01:38] <Pie-rate> does anyone know if earthlink dialup works with linux? AoL has proprietary software that it needs, does earthlink?
[01:38] <nickrud> DASPRiD: you have libapache2-mod-php5 installed? If so, try downloading the file. I had the exact issue, downloaded the file and it magically started working
[01:38] <jack> box-: yes, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:38] <prefect> and I replyed
[01:39] <g4dist_p4r4hy4ng> hay
[01:39] <jack> box-: You can also edit manually with sudo nano
[01:39] <g4dist_p4r4hy4ng> hy
[01:39] <g4dist_p4r4hy4ng> te ngarti
[01:40] <DASPRiD> nickrud, yes i have
[01:40] <putnum> does the ATI Radeon XPress 200 work well on ubuntu?
[01:40] <nickrud> putnum: adequately, I have one
[01:40] <box-> says package isnt installed
[01:40] <phaedra> putnum, Yes, perfectly.
[01:40] <box-> jack what areas do i have to change on it ?
[01:40] <putnum> whats screen res are you running
[01:40] <Siph0n> I am trying to get my Svideo cable to work with my plasma tv.... but when i change xorg.conf, do i need Logout,
[01:40] <nickrud> putnum: 1280x800
[01:40] <putnum> ok
[01:40] <box-> putnum : when i installed the nvidia driver it tries to set like 2048x1600 or something
[01:40] <Siph0n> or Restart or restartx ?
[01:41] <putnum> wow
[01:41] <jack> box-: You can stick it in the pastebin, but not knowing what you changed means I would be guessing
[01:41] <box-> but monitor will only display up to 1400x900
[01:41] <phaedra> putnum, 1600x1200
[01:41] <Codenut> for some reason, I have lost all the games that came with ubuntu, any thoughts?
[01:41] <nickrud> Siph0n: yes, you must restart X (log out and back in) for the xorg.conf change to be recognized
[01:41] <DASPRiD> nickrud got another reason?
[01:41] <box-> if i edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf which settings would i have to change in it ?
[01:42] <nickrud> DASPRiD: um, restart apache? I really don't know why it started working here, just shared my experience
[01:42] <jacquesdupontd> someone is here ?
[01:42] <jacquesdupontd> i was asking myself a question
[01:42] <jacquesdupontd> can we unfragment a disk with multi os ?
[01:42]  * nickrud thinks everyone is hiding from jacquesdupontd 
[01:42] <Codenut> anyone have any hints on how to get the normal games back?
[01:42] <jacquesdupontd> it wont broke anything ?
[01:42] <jacquesdupontd> haha
[01:43] <nickrud> jacquesdupontd: you don't need to defrag ext3 partitions (the default type used with ubuntu)
[01:43] <DASPRiD> nickrud, all done, like i do it always...
[01:43] <DASPRiD> well maybe i just need sleep to fix it :)
[01:43] <jack> jacquesdupontd: What format are the partitions you are trying to defrag..
[01:43] <genii> box-: To change only resolution settings: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[01:43] <Codenut> my apologies all I am very tired see you all later
[01:43] <box-> genii says dpkg-reconfigure isnt installed
[01:43] <jacquesdupontd> there is many
[01:43] <jacquesdupontd> hfs+
[01:43] <jacquesdupontd> ntfs
[01:44] <ballzack3> ext3 defrags itself?
[01:44] <nickrud> Codenut: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-games
[01:44] <jacquesdupontd> but defragmenting software defragment only a type of partition ?
[01:44] <Blizzard-> prefect I didn't get anything
[01:44] <Odd-rationale> ballzack3: ext3 fragmanents less
[01:44] <nickrud> jacquesdupontd: exactly
[01:44] <Blizzard-> Prefect will you join #Project8
[01:44] <jack> jacquesdupontd: Correct, no one tool works for all
[01:45] <norv> ballzack3: it's designed to avoid fragmentation, and defrag software depends on what kind of partition you're using
[01:45] <Blizzard-> So it's not so busy.
[01:45] <timandtom> Are there any good OCR programs for Ubuntu to make a .pdf file's text searchable?
[01:45] <jacquesdupontd> ok and what do you know about hfs+ ?
[01:45] <ballzack3> What happened with that filesystem guy, is he still in jail for pwning his wife?
[01:45] <ballzack3> Reiser?
[01:45] <Blizzard-> Prefect?
[01:45] <jacquesdupontd> does it need to be defragmented ?
[01:46] <iDivine_> Hello!
[01:46] <Ashfire908> what options would i use to make find not match files with the ".bz2" extenstion?
[01:47] <iDivine_> I have a question, if you guys don't mind..
[01:47] <nickrud> !ask | iDivine_
[01:47] <ubotu> iDivine_: 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. :-)
[01:47] <ballzack3> So there's no way to tell what Mint is detecting your RAM speed as?
[01:47] <jack> ballzack3: Ask in #Mint
[01:48] <ballzack3> whoops!
[01:48] <iDivine_> Well ok, I have Ubuntu obviously , But, I have NO clue where to start. Can any one direct me here?
[01:48] <ballzack3> what about in ubuntu?
[01:48] <jack> ballzack3: Actually.. #LinuxMint
[01:48] <ballzack3> thanks
[01:48] <zelrikriando> iDivine_: what do you want to do?
[01:48] <nickrud> ballzack3: sudo lshw shows the specs of the chips
[01:48] <ballzack3> east coast!
[01:48] <Blizzard-> Can someone help me figure out how to install ubuntu on a partition and boot with that partition.
[01:48] <bendy21> Hi there everyone, does 7.10 Server provide a way to setup software RAID on disks during the setup phase? I've hunted around and can't find any howto's on this.
[01:49] <Odd-rationale> iDivine_: Play around, have fun, and don't be afraid to try new things. The ubuntuforums.org is a good place to start.
[01:49] <recon> Ashfire908: i dunno, but a workaround could be to pipe the files to sed, and remove everything that has .bz2 onit.
[01:49] <iDivine_> I would like to know, How to download things. Like simple programs I had on my old windows. And I would also like to know if there are any plug-ins..
[01:49] <putnum> has anybody ran windows xp inside vmware server on ubuntu?
[01:49] <Ashfire908> bendy21, i think you tell it to format a patition with "raid" or something like that
[01:49] <zelrikriando> iDivine_: System > Administration > Synaptic package manager
[01:49] <nickrud> iDivine_: you will probably need to replace those windows apps with linux apps, see the link below
[01:50] <nickrud> !equivalents | iDivine_
[01:50] <ubotu> iDivine_: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant
[01:50] <badkitty> Y0Y0
[01:50] <zelrikriando> iDivine_: then Search > " My Software "
[01:50] <norv> iDivine_: and some "simple" programs aren't really that simple
[01:50] <Ashfire908> bendy21, and i think it then gives you a screen to setup the raid, but i've never tried it because my server has hardware raid
[01:50] <bendy21> ashfire: Thanks for that I'll have a closer look. Didn't think to look in the partition type box!
[01:50] <jack-desktop> whats a quick and easy program to find out the rgb values of a selected pixel?
[01:50] <jack-desktop> like Xoomer in windows if anyone has tried it
[01:51] <meoblast001> hello... im trying to copy the Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD to a flash drive on a Fedora machine and i get an error about ..../unstable and permissions when copying
[01:51] <meoblast001> how do i fix this?
[01:51] <norv> jack-desktop: hmm, doubt it's that hard to do in X even if it's totally nonexistant
[01:51] <baal> hi
[01:52] <baal> lircd going to include the Imon pad patch anytime ?
[01:52] <Ashfire908> recon: i'll just figure out how to use it's filename stuff
[01:52] <WorkingOnWise> is there a way to change what java plugin firefox uses from the comandline?
[01:53] <norv> jack-desktop: but running said app in wine is definitely not a possibility
[01:53] <recon> WorkingOnWise: update-alternatives
[01:53] <nickrud> jack-desktop: gcolor2
[01:53] <matematico> wiki
[01:53] <vbabiy_laptop> Hey guys is there a deb for vmware server
[01:53] <recon> WorkingOnWise: specifically, "sudo update-alternatives --config java"
[01:53] <jack> meoblast001: Sounds like a question for Fedora since that is the os you are using.. I would have nothing to do with Ubuntu since the ubuntu CD is just data being transfered
[01:53] <recon> although it'll change all of them.
[01:53] <badkitty> vbabiy_laptop: Yep
[01:53] <timandtom> Uh, quick question. Whats the difference between Unix and Linux? I'm looking at a list of software and what OS
[01:53] <jack-desktop> nickrud: not exactly xoomer, but thanks ;p
[01:53] <nickrud> add   deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner   to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get  install vmware-server  vbabiy_laptop
[01:53] <ballzack3> #linuxmint is dead :(
[01:54] <nickrud> jack: eh, it at least gives you the rgb values ;P
[01:54] <recon> timandtom: it's complicated. linux is an offshoot of the unix kernel.
[01:54] <badkitty> nickrud: Is the vmware install fixed?
[01:54] <timandtom> 's they are for, but I don't really know what Unix is :P excuse my accidental enter key btw
[01:54] <vbabiy_laptop> thanks nickrud
[01:54] <nickrud> badkitty: was it bad? that's what I used
[01:54] <badkitty> ballzack3: Is it really?
[01:54] <Ashfire908> recon know if there is a not switch/keyword or something
[01:54] <nickrud> badkitty: is currently bad, that is
[01:54] <jack> ballzack3: Thats why it hasnt done well
[01:54] <Boden> ive got a couple ubuntu n00b questions..
[01:54] <meoblast001> jack: i give up on computers then
[01:54] <WorkingOnWise> recon: thanks! that is what I needed!
[01:54] <recon> Ashfire908: nah, if i need to do anything i use sed.
[01:54] <timandtom> recon: Would a program for "Unix-like" OS's work on Linux then?
[01:54] <ballzack3> because not enough ppl in the irc room?
[01:54] <ali> xoomer seems to work with wine for me
[01:54] <recon> timandtom: yeah. and bsd, and a whole bunch of other stuff.
[01:55] <badkitty> nickrud: Yeah for a while everyone was recommending installing from source
[01:55] <recon> timandtom: basically, anything that ends with an *ix. and then some more.
[01:55] <Boden> is there a program for burning .img files?
[01:55] <ballzack3> badkitty: if dead is <10 ppl, then yes :)
[01:55] <nickrud> timandtom: for most practical purposes a program you can compile on unix can be compiled on linux
[01:55] <jack> ballzack3: terrible support ...  I didnt care for the product to begin with..
[01:55] <ballzack3> oh
[01:55] <Pie-rate> xoomer works perfectly in wine
[01:55] <ballzack3> it seems cool to me...what would be better?
[01:55] <ballzack3> ubuntu?
[01:55] <Pie-rate> which certainly impresses me
[01:55] <timandtom> recon: Ah, cool, thanks. So Linux and BSD and stuff is basically different distros of unix, like Ubuntu, Fedora, and Damn Small, are all distros of Linux?
[01:55]  * nickrud refuses to use non free stuff if free stuff does the job
[01:56] <jack> ballzack3: Dont ask us, we are biased
[01:56] <norv> ali: hmm, I thought that wouldn't work because I thought it used some low level windowing stuff.. guess it can
[01:56] <ballzack3> i bet you run vista, right?
[01:56] <nickrud> or even close
[01:56] <Pie-rate> i would expect WINE to fail at that, like it normally does with everything else
[01:56] <jack> ballzack3: Nope, XP and Ubuntu
[01:56] <genii> timandtom: Unix was and still is a commercial OS developed by AT&T. Linux is a unix-like OS but no lineage to it. FreeBSD or NetBSD et al are more of a Unix heritage
[01:56] <timandtom> genii: Ah, k, cool, thanks
[01:56] <recon> timandtom: not exactly distros. Linus wrote a slightly different kernel.
[01:56] <nemilar> BSD is a child of the original UNIX code by AT&T
[01:56] <nemilar> Linux has none of that code
[01:56] <recon> timandtom: s/slightly//
[01:57] <Blizzard-> Sorry to repeate, I lefted for a second.
[01:57] <Blizzard-> Can someone help me figure out how to install ubuntu on a partition and boot with that partition.
[01:57] <Boden> so, im completely new to this chat, but i have some ubuntu related questions.
[01:57] <badkitty> ballzack3: It was like number 6 on the charts fora while wasn't it, why the sudden drop off?
[01:57] <timandtom> recon: But I've sorta got the right idea?
[01:57] <dsmith_> anyone know where I can find new cheap laptops that work flawlessly with ubuntu?
[01:57] <Blizzard-> I didn't see if anyone could help me or not.
[01:57] <dsmith_> ex. acer's
[01:57] <nemilar> dsmith_: have you looked at Dell's ubuntu selection?
[01:57] <recon> timandtom: yeah, pretty much. linux is unix's bastard son.
[01:57] <dsmith_> besides Dells
[01:57] <Pie-rate> Blizzard-: it should let you resize your current partitions and make a partition for you
[01:57] <Blizzard-> Can someone help me figure out how to install ubuntu on a partition and boot with that partition.
[01:57] <ballzack3> badkitty:  which charts? i have no idea, i installed mint because i thought my hdd had crashed
[01:57] <genii> Blizzard-: The livecd will guide you through the installation.
[01:57] <Pie-rate> Blizzard-: you're repeating way way way too fast
[01:57] <jack> recon:  Very poorly phrased
[01:57] <badkitty> ballzack3: Distrowatch.com
[01:58] <JohnMM> test
[01:58] <nemilar> dsmith_: well if you want something that'll work 100% and is supported, Dell is the way to go.  There are a couple of other companies that sell Linux on laptops, but nothing as reputable as dell
[01:58] <timandtom> recon: Awesome, thanks. Just wondering, that should do it :) Hopefully I can blunder my way through this now
[01:58] <JohnMM> !ping
[01:58] <ubotu> ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore
[01:58] <recon> jack: i may or may not be high right now, i dunno.
[01:58] <JohnMM> k
[01:58] <Blizzard-> Pie, I pmed you.
[01:58] <ballzack3> the only thing i dont like so far is my sound isn't working, but ive been too lazy to really look for help
[01:58] <Boden> Can someone please let me know if there's a program to burn .img files to a cd?
[01:58] <brianh> dsmith_: My Compaq runs Ubuntu well.  Make sure all the hardware in the laptop is supported before you buy
[01:58] <zachalink> hi, how can I see hidden files, and 2. how can I close package installer when it won't close and it doesn't show up in process list.
[01:58] <theyycallmepost> could someone point me in the right direction to get some linux newb bluetooth help?
[01:58] <dsmith_> nemilar: I understand, I wanted to find an alternate source to install onto. I have installed ona few older laptops but am looking for new ones
[01:58] <dsmith_> brianh: I know. :)
[01:58] <recon> Boden: try http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/cdrecording/
[01:59] <recon> Boden: specifically, http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/cdrecording/#toc16
[01:59] <jack> Boden: I thought img files were the same as iso...
[01:59] <badkitty> EEEWWW compaq!!
[01:59] <Boden> thanks recon. i'll check that out.
[01:59] <jack> Boden: HAve you tried right clicking and writing to disk
[01:59] <Ashfire908> does bash do anything special with !
[01:59] <Boden> Jack: i thought they were too, but the native burning software disagrees
[01:59] <Boden> Jack: yes i have
[01:59] <JohnMM> what's a good kde app for cd recording?
[01:59] <brianh> dsmith_:  What I mean is, if you have an option between intel wireless and broadcom, go with intel
[02:00] <nemilar> JohnMM: k3b is the most popular
[02:00] <jack> JohnMM: K3B
[02:00] <JohnMM> ah thanks
[02:00] <dsmith_> i know about intel believe me
[02:00] <recon> JohnMM: definatly k3b
[02:00] <dsmith_> i also prefer nvidia
[02:00] <JohnMM> thanks
[02:00] <zachalink> can anyone help?
[02:00] <zachalink> I can't close the dang package installer
[02:01] <box_> any idea where to get a list of compiz commands ?
[02:01] <dsmith_> [X]   <----- click that :)
[02:01] <fazzio> hi people ....
[02:01] <badkitty> NVIDIA FTW
[02:01] <jack> zachalink: You can see hidden files with nautilus
[02:01] <recon> box_: man compiz
[02:01] <dsmith_> FTW?
[02:01] <jack> zachalink: HAve you been using non-standard repos?
[02:01] <dsmith_> For the Weary?
[02:01] <jack-desktop> nickrud, thanks it worked perfeectly
[02:01] <zachalink> and about the closing package manager
[02:01] <nemilar> zachalink: what do you mean when you say you can't close it?  you mean the graphical application?
[02:01] <badkitty> For The WIn
[02:01] <nemilar> zachalink: or are you installing from the command line?
[02:01] <zachalink> yes,
[02:02] <zachalink> no
[02:02] <dsmith_> yes Nvidia is a winner
[02:02] <nemilar> zachalink: open a terminal and run "xkill" and then click on the installer
[02:02] <jack> !who
[02:02] <fazzio> anyone from brazil?
[02:02] <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 :)
[02:02] <zachalink> I tried to install limewire and it froze halfway through configuring sun-java6
[02:02] <jack> fazzio: BR has their own room
[02:02] <jack-desktop> theres too many jacks
[02:02] <dsmith_> zachalink: limewire?? why
[02:02] <crxyem> zachalink, why would you bother with limewire
[02:02] <dsmith_> lol
[02:02] <zetheroo> is there an IRC chat for openoffice?
[02:02] <nemilar> zachalink: after that you will probably need to repair your package management, which is typicall done through the command line: dpkg --configure -a
[02:02] <Jewfro-Macabbi> is anyone using aide? and do you know the first run command to create a db?
[02:03] <dsmith_> zetheroo: yep
[02:03] <jack> zetheroo: yes
[02:03] <dsmith_> !openoffice

[02:03] <crxyem> ok, I'm running kubuntu 6.10, if I pop in a 7.04 disk to upgrade are there any wierd issues I may expect
[02:03] <dsmith_> crxyem: do a backup first
[02:03] <fazzio> jack: ow, thanks ... but, whats the name?
[02:03] <jack> !br
[02:03] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[02:03] <zachalink> limewire? because it's the only way I can "get" songs
[02:03] <crxyem> only need to backup my /home corect
[02:03] <ballzack3> buenos dias!
[02:03] <nemilar> crxyem: _usually_ everything works fine...  you can get a list of reported problems on the ubuntu site somewhere
[02:04] <dsmith_> zachalink: what genre?
[02:04] <crxyem> zachalink, you should look into torrent
[02:04] <fazzio> THANKS FOR ALL ...

[02:04] <jack> crxyem: I must ask.. HAve you ever run automatix or envy scripts.. it is important if yo plan to upgrade
[02:04] <crxyem> no
[02:04] <dsmith_> crxyem: !streamtuner
[02:04] <zetheroo> I fresly install Ubuntu Gutsy on a laptop and for some reason the Ubuntu boot up screen with the progress bar never shows up.... its black until I get to the login screen.... why is this?
[02:04] <dsmith_> !streamtuner
[02:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about streamtuner - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:04] <badkitty> automati ftw! .. NOT!
[02:05] <crxyem> never used streamtuner
[02:05] <ballzack3> badkitty: i think if you look at the last 30 or 7 days Mint is still in the top 3 or 5
[02:05] <stelt> where can i set the time format ?
[02:05] <dsmith_> crxyem: check out streamtuner and streamripper
[02:05] <zachalink> lol, torrent takes decades, and sometimes I want specific songs. Anyways, on another issue: how can I mount a cd/dvd to view the windows portion of a game dvd? (in this case, world of warcraft dvd)
[02:05] <Vadi> When I installed emacs, it got 20mb of other files too. However when I tell it to uninstall, it's only 40kb - why? How can I uninstall the rest too?
[02:06] <nemilar> Vadi: does apt-get autoremove do anything for you?
[02:06] <badkitty> ballzack3: Pretty impressive if there are only 10 users
[02:06] <crxyem> you can selectively download songs from torrents
[02:06] <ballzack3> yeah....
[02:06] <zachalink> By the way, I tried that xkill thing on package manager, and didn't do anything.

[02:06] <Vadi> nemilar: no, nothing
[02:07] <ballzack3> torrents
[02:07] <crxyem> torrents are not neccessarily illegal
[02:07] <nemilar> ok, in that case:
[02:07] <nemilar> !offtopic
[02:07] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:07] <box_> if you enable desktop effects is that compizfusion OR do u have to install compiz seperate ?
[02:07] <tigran> in 7.10 its compiz
[02:07] <Vadi> How can I remove the rest of dependencies that emacs dragged in?
[02:08] <nemilar> Vadi: some of those dependencies might be in use by other programs, or there might be some other emacs stuff on your system
[02:08] <crxyem> then send zchalink to another channel for his question about limewire freezing on install.
[02:08] <xxploit> box: its compiz
[02:08] <Boden> at the moment, i have two large issues under ubuntu: i have no idea how to use/install tarballs. AND: my sound card is recognized, but i've gone through all the troubleshooting steps and i cant get any sound to play.
[02:08] <Vadi> nemilar: They aren't though, at least, they weren't before
[02:08] <nemilar> Vadi: what package did you remove when you removed emacs?
[02:08] <Vadi> the emacs one
[02:08] <nemilar> Vadi: emacs22-bin-common or something like that might still be installed
[02:08] <Vadi> It's the same one I used to install it
[02:09] <badkitty> Boden: A tarball is similar to a zip file, it is not executable, you must extract the files from it and then use those to install
[02:09] <Vadi> Yeah you're right
[02:09] <badkitty> Wow I cant talk tonight
[02:09] <nemilar> Boden: if you're trying to install software, you should use the package management if at all possible
[02:10] <Vadi> nemilar: Yay, reclaimed 67mb of my space. I'd say that package needs to be looked at :|
[02:10] <Boden> Badkitty: is it something i need to compile first?
[02:10] <nemilar> Vadi: 'emacs' is just a meta-package... yeah apt can be a pain like that sometimes
[02:10] <badkitty> Boden: Often times yes but not necessarily
[02:10] <Boden> nemilar: i do as much as possible, but i mean for things that dont show up in the package manager
[02:10] <crxyem> so, I shouldn't have anything to worry about if I try to upgrade with a 7.10 disk,
[02:10] <nemilar> Boden: what are you trying to install at the moment?  also, you should enable all the software sources in the system - administration - software sources menu
[02:11] <badkitty> Boden: I downloaded Azureus tarball the other day and when I extract the files, I just run it, everything is already compiled
[02:11] <nemilar> Boden: some of them are disabled by default
[02:11] <thechris> I need some data recovery help for mdadm
[02:11] <nemilar> badkitty: not compiled...Azureus is written in Java
[02:11] <zetheroo> anyone
[02:11] <zetheroo> ?
[02:11] <Boden> badkitty: alright. what file extension am i looking for after extracting the tarball? which one is the executable
[02:11] <badkitty> nemilar: Oh yah good point
[02:11] <Boden> nemilar: thanks, i have done that
[02:11] <tigran> Boden: it has no extension
[02:11] <ballzack3> Boden: a .bat or .exe file probably
[02:12] <ballzack3> or .sh lol
[02:12] <badkitty> Boden: nemilar is right to ask what you are trying to install, it is much better to install using the repos
[02:12] <nemilar> Boden: typically the install will be: tar zxfv tarball.tar.gz ; cd tarball/ ; ./configure ; make ; make install
[02:12] <Boden> alright, let me go look...
[02:12] <RB2> I'm migrating all of my data from my old w2k box. No problems mounting remotely via smb, however I think last time it failed partway through because of a filename. Can I use rsync to sync the two up?
[02:12] <nemilar> Boden: but the package management system won't know that it's installed, and installing from source is complex and almost always not necessary
[02:12] <jmworx> Can someone help me fix my desktop after de-installing the desktop effects.
[02:12] <andresj> is there a way to make ubuntu, when updating a package, download only the difference between the old version and the new one, instead of downloading it all again?
[02:13] <nickrud> andresj: no
[02:13] <Boden> nemilar: so most sites that i can download tarballs from i can also find repo addresses @?
[02:13] <Ryuho> My tablet (motion computing M1400) hotkey does not show up on: showkey, acpid, or xev. I know it works (it works under default windows install) is there no way to use this key in ubuntu?
[02:13] <jmworx> When I log in, I get no window manager at all and need to start it manually (blind from a white xterm) every time
[02:13] <nemilar> Boden: what are you trying to install?   and if at all available, install from the .deb package
[02:13] <crxyem> I like checkinstall vs just using make install
[02:13] <badkitty> crxyem: Good point
[02:13] <nemilar> yeah checkinstall is preferable
[02:14] <jmworx> (I'm running Gusty BTW)
[02:14] <Siph0n> neone know what plugin i need to view the finance.google.com charts? :)
[02:14] <andresj> nickrud: oh... I say it because I'm updating KDE 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 and its a lot :)
[02:14] <nemilar> but I'm sure Boden doesn't even have build-essential installed so...
[02:14] <nemilar> Siph0n: flash non-free
[02:14] <Boden> nemilar: right now it's something called cdrtools. im not sure if i need it anymore though. i just wanted to know in general for things that arent in the package managers
[02:14] <nickrud> andresj: yeah, there's been talk about that diff update for a long time (pre ubuntu), but no action.
[02:14] <ally_oxooox> hey, quick question. How do you clear logs in ubuntu?
[02:15] <nemilar> Boden: avoid compiling from source if at all possible, is my recommendation
[02:15] <andresj> nickrud: gentoo has it :)
[02:15] <Siph0n> nemilar, i have flashplugin-nonfree installed... so Synaptic says anyway....
[02:15] <nickrud> andresj: diff's of source is much easier than diffs of binaries
[02:15] <Boden> nemilar: i'd rather avoid it too. since it seems to be over my head at the moment. any idea on the sound issue?
[02:15] <zetheroo> I fresly install Ubuntu Gutsy on a laptop and for some reason the Ubuntu boot up screen with the progress bar never shows up.... its black until I get to the login screen.... why is this?
[02:16] <andresj> nickrud: I guess :)
[02:16] <nemilar> Siph0n: is flash elsewhere broken?
[02:16] <thechris> anyone know how to force MDADM to re-add a device even though it has some bad blocks?
[02:16] <nickrud> zetheroo: try editing /etc/usplash.conf if it isn't your monitor's native resolution (one fix that works for some problems)
[02:16] <Siph0n> nope.... i went on lge.com and the flash plays
[02:16] <nemilar> zetheroo: that's just a bug, it'll be fixed in the next release of ubuntu
[02:16] <ally_oxooox> hey, quick question. How do you clear logs in ubuntu?
[02:16] <nemilar> ally_oxooox: you mean the logs in /var/log ?
[02:17] <norv> zetheroo: is that the only problem?
[02:17] <iDivine_> Umm, I was wondering, How do I add cool affects and features to Ubuntu
[02:17] <ally_oxooox> nemilar i think so. are there any other logs?
[02:17] <tigran> nemilar: whens the next release? every 6 months?
[02:17] <Siph0n> nemilar, actually yea.... the flash never starts on lge.com
[02:17] <nathan42100>  anyone here have America's Army working  (2.5) on ubuntu ?
[02:17] <norv> zetheroo: wait, do you get grub or post messages?
[02:17] <zetheroo> nickrud: sudo gedit /etc/usplash,conf   ?
[02:17] <thechris> what package contains mdadm?
[02:17] <nickrud> heh, my gutsy was problem free (except for usplash)  zetheroo yes
[02:17] <nemilar> ally_oxooox: /var/log is where the system logs are kept, but individual user apps might record things to user's home directories, I suppose
[02:17] <ally_oxooox> nemilar like traffic logs, terminal, etc
[02:17] <zetheroo> norv: yes...
[02:17] <iDivine_> Umm, I was wondering, How do I add cool affects and features to Ubuntu?
[02:17] <meoblast001> hello.... im trying to copy the contents of the Ubuntu 7.10 disk onto a flash drive and i get a permissions error, how do i fix this, ive had this problem on Ubuntu and Fedora
[02:17] <nickrud> zetheroo: gksudo gedit that is, don't use sudo with gui programs
[02:18] <nemilar> ally_oxooox: apache logs are kept in /var/log/apache[2] by default
[02:18] <zetheroo> nickrud: ok
[02:18] <ally_oxooox> nemilar are there any logs that a user should delete for security purposes?
[02:18] <meoblast001> iDivine_: install compiz-fusion and compizconfig
[02:18] <nemilar> ally_oxooox: the system logger will rotate logs automatically so they don't take up too much space
[02:18] <kamikaze> hai
[02:18] <ally_oxooox> oh okay thanks nemilar
[02:18] <iDivine_> Umm, I don't think I have enough ram for Compiz fusion.
[02:18] <nemilar> ally_oxooox: not really... nothing truly sensitive is logged, and anything that's borderline is read-only by root
[02:18] <tigran> iDivine_: how much do you have? and video ram
[02:19] <ally_oxooox> cool
[02:19] <iDivine_> I'm not quite sure about video, But I think ram I have around 512?...
[02:19] <iDivine_> I've heard I have a bad video card as well..
[02:19] <norv> zetheroo: I doubt it's a major problem then
[02:19] <meoblast001> Error "Operation not permitted" while copying "/media/Ubu...86/ubuntu".
[02:19] <meoblast001> what does that mean?
[02:20] <nemilar> meoblast001: you don't have write permissions to the destination, so either a) the device is mounted read-only, or b) you can try as root
[02:20] <iDivine_> I'm not quite sure about video, But I think ram I have around 512?...
[02:20] <nemilar> iDivine_: the 'free' command will tell you how much ram you have
[02:20] <tigran> iDivine_: well I had a 512 RAM and a 32mb gfx card, it worked pretty good, just turn off the fancy stuff
[02:20] <iDivine_> k
[02:20] <meoblast001> nemilar: i tried as root when i was on my fedora machine and it did the same thing
[02:20] <nemilar> meoblast001: what type of media is the destination?  external HDD?
[02:20] <iDivine_> Where under free?
[02:21] <meoblast001> nemilar: fat16 USB flash drive
[02:21] <nemilar> iDivine_: on the "Mem:" line, the "total" column
[02:21] <tigran> iDivine_: Under free...
[02:21] <iDivine_> 507516 sound right?
[02:21] <nemilar> iDivine_: it's measured in Kilobytes
[02:21] <nemilar> iDivine_: yeah, that's 512MB
[02:21] <iDivine_> ;)
[02:21] <nepbabu> meoblast001, mount -t -o rw vfat /dev/<fat_device> /mediat/whatever;
[02:21] <anabelle> hola
[02:21] <meoblast001> nemilar: im doing as root on ubuntu and so far its going well
[02:21] <nepbabu> !mount | meoblast001
[02:21] <iDivine_> Do I have enough for compiz fusion?

[02:21] <nathan42100>  anyone here have America's Army working  (2.5) on ubuntu ?
[02:22] <zetheroo> nickrud: ok I changed it to 1280 x 800 from 1280 x 1024
[02:22] <nickrud> zetheroo: try rebooting, see if the splash screen works now
[02:22] <nepbabu> anabelle, hi
[02:22] <nickrud> zetheroo: if it doesn't, you can turn off the splash and see the text boot (what I did)
[02:22] <zetheroo> nickrud: still black
[02:22] <iDivine_> Do I, 512 RAM good enough for Compiz - fusion?
[02:22] <nemilar> iDivine_: compiz puts more strain on your video card and processor than it does your RAM, but 512 is more than enough RAM yeah
[02:23] <zetheroo> nickrud: and it takes forever to boot

[02:24] <crxyem> so what's the benefit of dl the cd vs dvd version of 7.10 ?
[02:24] <Blizzard-> I can use as I want.
[02:24] <nickrud> zetheroo: then you can do what I did (that fix didn't work for me either) .  sudoedit /boot/grub/menu.lst , look for the line # defoptions , leave only quiet (delete splash) . Save, and run sudo update-grub
[02:24] <nemilar> crxyem: the DVD comes with a lot more packages

[02:24] <ubotu> So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone.
[02:24] <nickrud> zetheroo: it disables the splash, shows the text boot

[02:26] <nathan42100> oh,question. For AA, it has a hidden config folder in /home/<username>. After unhiding it, I can see it and even delete it but not open it. How does one do that?
[02:26] <nemilar> meoblast001: mount | grep media/Ubu
[02:26] <iDivine_> I've heard it's horrible*
[02:26] <ghettoxover> when i insert the cd and try to boot linux from it instead of install, wich is the  choice i have to use?
[02:26] <nepbabu> !printer | zcat[1]

[02:26] <Boden> genii: it is intel, but i dont think it's hi def
[02:26] <zcat[1]> turns out lemark is about the most linux-hostile printer there is...
[02:27] <nemilar> iDivine_: works fine for compiz right out of the fox
[02:27] <iDivine_> Can I run compiz fusion?
[02:27] <nemilar> zcat[1]: yeah, that's the truth
[02:27] <nemilar> iDivine_: haha, box, not fox
[02:27] <brianh> iDivine_: it will work
[02:27] <genii> Boden: What does the line from lspci say?
[02:27] <nathan42100> nemilar: oh,question. For AA, it has a hidden config folder in /home/<username>. After unhiding it, I can see it and even delete it but not open it. How does one do that?
[02:27] <iDivine_> Link please?
[02:27] <nemilar> zcat[1]: Lexmark printers are the win-modem equivilant of printers
[02:27] <zcat[1]> it works in ;doze.. I might flog it off to a 'doze user

[02:28] <zcat[1]> so I don't feel too bad about it
[02:29] <cabroni_> hi again, is there a virtual piano or keyboard for utuntu, with 49,88 keys?
[02:29] <crimsun> Boden: I thought you went through the troubleshooting already.
[02:29] <meoblast001> nemilar: yeah.... im trying to copy off that onto a flash drive
[02:29] <zelrikriando> iDivine_: I guess there is just one
[02:29] <iDivine_> ;(
[02:29] <Boden> crimsun: i did, but it was the other day. i dont remember what the value was
[02:29] <iDivine_> That website is confusing me..
[02:29] <yao_ziyuan> is there a performance advantage of linux over windows?
[02:29] <zetheroo> nickrud: hey I found the real fix for this
[02:29] <schoash> anyone knows how to change display brightness on a panasonic cf-r7? tried pcc_acpi which worked on a cf-r3 but now i have no luck

[02:29] <zelrikriando> iDivine_: but you can customize it a little :)
[02:29] <Cosmo> I need help setting up dual monitors in Ubuntu 7.10 x86_64 and I have the fglrx driver for my ati200m
[02:29] <yao_ziyuan> i.e. programs compiled from the same source code run faster under linux?
[02:29] <genii> Boden: In a Terminal type in: lspci           then look for a line which says something like Audio Controller or so. Copy and paste it here (jst the 1 line)
[02:30] <crimsun> Boden: ok, so grab the script from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems again, please, and run it.
[02:30] <zetheroo> nickrud: you there?....
[02:30] <ghettoxover> when i insert the cd and try to boot linux from it instead of install, wich is the  choice i have to use?
[02:30] <Boden> crimsun: will do
[02:30] <zelrikriando> iDivine_: you need several packages to run it...maybe that s what is confusing you
[02:30] <iDivine_> Can someone invite me to a private chat?
[02:30] <Cosmo> I need help setting up dual monitors in Ubuntu 7.10 x86_64 and I have the fglrx driver for my ati200m
[02:30] <nickrud> zetheroo: still here. got the sound off. What was it?
[02:30] <crimsun> Boden: and please hurry.  I need to leave in 5-7 minutes.
[02:30] <Boden> crimsun: sorry. hurrying.
[02:30] <genii> Boden: If it's an Intel HDA type then there is a link provided by ubotu which will help you fix it
[02:30] <nepbabu> yao_ziyuan, answer to your question is too broad
[02:31] <zetheroo>  nickrud: after you edit that file you have to do this in the terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh usplash
[02:31] <zetheroo> nickrud: then its fixed
[02:31] <nickrud> zetheroo: ah, I'll remember. Thanks
[02:31] <yao_ziyuan> nepbabu: but native machine code for x86 should be at the same speed right?
[02:31] <Boden> genii: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)

[02:32] <ubotu> Boden: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[02:32] <nepbabu> yao_ziyuan, in general yes. but depends a lot on what that native code is trying to achieve. be it linux vs. windows

[02:52] <compy> timandtom, nice what are you looking to use linux for...d esktop?
[02:53] <stefano_> ,
[02:53] <compy> if you want it for desktop, gentoo may not be the best choice, but still will work
[02:53] <timandtom> compy: I've been managing pretty good so far, I just need to get a distro for my little brothers computer. Windows got borked, and I don't have the install CDs or the keys, so I need something that has a GUI, works with Firefox and Wine, and works for a bit older computers
[02:53] <timandtom> compy: Desktop
[02:54] <anka-ar> please, start gcalctool, set the view to "Show Thousands Separator" an put 1000000 and tell me whats show you gcalctool
[02:54] <jimmygoon> Can I change the font rendering for JUST ONE font
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> timandtom: well, Ubuntu is about as easy as it gets....
[02:54] <ogre> does anyone know anything about vmware player on gutsy? I noticed its not in the repos
[02:54] <ballzack3> ok
[02:54] <norv> actually Gentoo is more for desktops, not servers
[02:54] <nepbabu> !virtualization | ogre
[02:54] <ubotu> ogre: 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
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> gentoo is just complex, so it would turn of a young person, or an extreme newbie.
[02:54] <cua0> ogre: did you add the unsupported repos?

[02:55] <adam_> Hello!  Is there a nice FTP server available for xubuntu?  Preferably with a GUI?
[02:55] <zappitelli16> says event not found
[02:55] <timandtom> IndyGunFreak: Yeh, bit it does take a bit more resources to run then some of the other distros I've heard about. Problem is, I don't really remember any of the other distros I saw :P
[02:55] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, yes. look into that.
[02:55] <ballzack3> anka-ar: i see no thousands separator!

[02:56] <timandtom> IndyGunFreak: Uh, 96mb RAM, AMD(i think) 450mhz processor, 8gb hard drive. All it's ever used for is flash games

[02:56] <cua0> ogre: i don't think i've ever seen vmware in any repos though, since its commercial, you prolly have to grab it off their site.
[02:56] <IndyGunFreak> timandtom: yeah, its gonna be really tough to find a distro to work on that...
[02:56] <ballzack3> anka-ar: using the drop down menu and using ctrl-k does the same thing, but no thousands separator appears either way
[02:56] <iDivine_> Which Version or kind of ubuntu do I have?
[02:56] <IndyGunFreak> timandtom: you're gonna have to looka t the small distros, Damn Small Linux, Puppy, Vector, etc.
[02:57] <anka-ar> o_0
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> iDivine_: what do you mean?
[02:57] <iDivine_> Like

[02:57] <mzuverink> timandtom, what about dsl?
[02:57] <timandtom> IndyGunFreak: Ah, ok. DSL would probably work? I've used that for like, 10 minutes once, it seemed decent enough.
[02:57] <iDivine_> Now what?
[02:57] <anka-ar> ok
[02:57] <ogre> cua0:  they have vmware server i noticed
[02:58] <anka-ar> thanks ballzack3

[02:58] <ballzack3> what does it show for you?
[02:58] <iDivine_> Iindy
[02:58] <timandtom> mzuverink: I don't know anything about any distro other then Ubuntu, thats why I'm asking :P
[02:58] <iDivine_> nowwhat?
[02:58] <iDivine_> now what*
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> iDivine_: hit enter?
[02:58] <iDivine_> it just shows '>_' ....

[02:58] <nepbabu> timandtom, try debian
[02:58] <mzuverink> google damn small linux
[02:58] <zetheroo> anyone?
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> iDivine_: then you entered it wrong...
[02:58] <iDivine_> oh I see.
[02:58] <mzuverink> timandtom, google damn small linux
[02:58] <timandtom> IndyGunFreak: Meh, I remember Firefox worked in it, hopefully Wine would to. Firefox is all that REALLY needs to work.
[02:59] <cua0> ogre: that should be all you need
[02:59] <nepbabu> !debian | timandtom
[02:59] <ubotu> timandtom: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[02:59] <iDivine_> Codename:Gutsy..
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> timandtom: yeah, i'm pretty sure it comes *out of the box* with firefox, not sure on wine.
[02:59] <timandtom> nepbabu: Would that or Damn Small Linux probably work better for an older computer though?
[02:59] <nepbabu> timandtom, puppy linux
[02:59] <pvl1> hey, i was trying to update ubuntu, it said it needed to do that in parts bc it was updating the kernel, but my computer crashed in the middle of it, and now i cant really get anything to run
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> i donn't think debian would install on a box that slow.
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> proc is fine, ram/hard drive space is lacking.

[03:00] <nepbabu> anka-ar, #ubuntu-devel and #gnome
[03:01] <IndyGunFreak> timandtom: if you want to look at distros for the type of pc youre looking at, I'd suggest DSL, Vector, Puppy...

My problem is that after installation and configuration of xorg, I get an error when of "No input driver matching 'vmmouse'" and then sends me back to the CLI TTY. My problem is as follows, VMware is saying it's Ubuntu's lack of support of VMware and Ubuntu i
[03:02] <timandtom> nepbabu, mzuverink, and IndyGunFreak: Thanks guys. Do any of the three(Vector, Puppy, DSL) have a much bigger community? Makes it that much easier when I bork it :)
[03:02] <ballzack3> clitty?
[03:03] <nepbabu> timandtom, yes. they are targetted for old boxes

[03:03] <zappitelli16> It says ignoring unknown interface ath0=ath0
[03:03] <iDivine_> No one is in the channel  #compiz-fusioin
[03:03] <ogre> cua0:  yeah im going to set up leopard/vista VMs. something for everybody ya know
[03:03] <IndyGunFreak> iDivine_: maybe if you type it right it will help
[03:03] <iDivine_> I did
[03:03] <nebulON> where's djmario?
[03:03] <iDivine_> I copied and pasted

[03:04] <Ussr1943> anyone have any expirience dealing with loading an ubuntu installation from a USB drive?
[03:04] <iDivine_>  #compiz-fusioin?
[03:04] <vbabiy_laptop> Nephyrin: it does it all by its self
[03:04] <IndyGunFreak> iDivine_: again, #compiz-fusion
[03:04] <zappitelli16> nebabu is there a better channel I should go to?
[03:04] <norv> Ussr1943: only installing from
[03:04] <IndyGunFreak> pay attention
[03:04] <vbabiy_laptop> Nephyrin: i am using the deb package
[03:05] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, no this one should be fine. i don't know how #wireless is. try it n see.
[03:05] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, try ##linux as well.
[03:05] <timandtom> nepbabu and IndyGunFreak: Ah, k, thanks guys :) Sorry for all the questions, but a few extra minutes here saves me an hour or two of downloading and burning later :P
[03:05] <Ussr1943> I've installed it successfully onto my external, and my bios supports booting from usb, however I'm woundering if there is an issue with have grub on the usb?
[03:05] <zappitelli16> with the # signs?
[03:05] <nepbabu> tinman, personally i'd go for puppy
[03:05] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, use them
[03:05] <IndyGunFreak> Ussr1943: you actually installed it to an external drive?
[03:06] <Ussr1943> yes i did
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> Ussr1943: hm, in my experience, the slow speed of usb ports causes a bottleneck doing that, hopefully you get it to work
[03:06] <zappitelli16> nothing happened just started a new line with name@laptop
[03:06] <jack-desktop> how can we modify a gtk theme
[03:06] <tinman> nepbabu: Me? what did i do?
[03:06] <tinman> I am planning on compiling debian
[03:06] <nepbabu> tinman, :)
[03:07] <do0zman> gparted will not run off live cd sits and loads how do i just wait?
[03:07] <Ussr1943> basicly all i did was unplug my ide cables to prevent writing over my internal, then i booted up live then installed onto my external usb. yes it is USB 2.0 so it should be fairly fast
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> Ussr1943: whatever you say.. but i've found otherwise.
[03:07] <Ussr1943> but the only way to know is to boot it up, and currently my computer keeps telling me to insert a boot disk, when it should be able to read right off the USB
[03:08] <Boden> thanks for the help, i'll catch you guys later
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> whats it saying when you boot the USB disk?
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> that you need to insert a boot disk?
[03:08] <Ussr1943> "Please insert boot cd and press enter"
[03:08] <Ussr1943> yeah
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> no clue on that onem.
[03:09] <nepbabu> Ussr1943, what is this you are trying to install? 7.10?
[03:09] <Ussr1943> yeah 7.10 onto my external hdd
[03:09] <jimmygoon> Ussr1943, first, BIOS settings for CMOS boot up
[03:09] <IndyGunFreak> Ussr1943: why don't you jsut partition the internal hard drive, and install it normally, use the external drive to backup dataon your drive.
[03:09] <nepbabu> Ussr1943, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/
[03:09] <jimmygoon> and secondly, either feisty/gutsy had a problem with usb bots
[03:09] <jimmygoon> s/bots/boots
[03:10] <zappitelli16> nepbabu niether of those did anything.
[03:10] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, again what device is it? wlan0?
[03:10] <Ussr1943> I don't have a repair CD or an xp install cd so if anything goes wrong on my internal I'm outta luck. I still have to use my internal for somethings
[03:10] <zappitelli16> intel wireless 2200BF
[03:10] <zappitelli16> BG*
[03:11] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, nope the interface
[03:11] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, eth0?
[03:11] <jimmygoon> Ussr1943, did you enable USB booting in your BIOS?
[03:11] <Ussr1943> yes i did
[03:11] <zappitelli16> eth0 when I type in iwconfig says no wireless extensions
[03:11] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, its probably eth1
[03:11] <jack-desktop> how can i modify a gtk theme, like just change the colors of a certain thing
[03:11] <Ussr1943> I have 3 diff options USB-FDD, USB-CDROM, USB-ZIP. I've tried all of them, allthough i believe FDD is what i want
[03:12] <fireman2333333> Hello?
[03:12] <zappitelli16> eth 1 says unassociated ESSID: "126 Miracle" which is the wireless network I'm trying to connect to.
[03:12] <badkitty> someone official?
[03:12] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, $ sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "your ssid"
[03:12] <Ussr1943> now maybe there is a step i missed? I basicly just unhooked my internal, booted live, installed straight to my external, restarted changed bios, restarted and then i get the "please insert boot disk" message
[03:12] <Frogzoo_> after upgrading to gutsy, I can't mount /usr - the boot says the /dev/sda2 is already mounted or /usr busy
[03:12] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, $ sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "126 Miracle"
[03:13] <fireman2333333> Anyone here intrested in and writing an article and getting admin privledges in a wiki?

[03:17] <_Leppy> hey, when you try watching a movie and it says no stream available, how do I fix it?
[03:17] <Danielle_pl> {Q}, why is my CPU running at 99% when something is being installed?

[03:17] <ObsidianX> hey folks, i can't seem to get kbluetooth to find my receiver anymore... it worked when i first plugged it in
[03:17] <ObsidianX> but it doesn't anymore
[03:17] <zappitelli16> nepbabu should I type !pastebin | zappitelli16 into terminal?
[03:17] <badkitty> do0zmanz sufficient if not too much
[03:17] <IndyGunFreak> do0zman:  how much hard drive space do you have
[03:17] <genii> do0zman: Yes, that should do.
[03:17] <crxyem> do0zman I have a 768MB swap for 2Gb ram
[03:18] <nepbabu> prey_alone, psmisc
[03:18] <vbabiy_laptop_> hey nepbabu any idea how i can install vmware
[03:18] <crxyem> and it never seems to get used
[03:18] <nepbabu> !vmware | vbabiy_laptop
[03:18] <ubotu> vbabiy_laptop: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[03:18] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, nope.
[03:18] <badkitty> crxyem: Isn't the swap supposed to be something like 1/2 the amt of RAM u have?
[03:18] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, paste the output of the command "iwconfig" into the pastebin
[03:18] <nepbabu> !pastebin > zappitelli16
[03:18] <prey_alone> nepbabu: thanks
[03:19] <nepbabu> yw
[03:19] <do0zman> so what would be the recommended amount of swap for 2gb ram?
[03:19] <nepbabu> do0zman, swap = 2 * physical mem
[03:19] <genii> badkitty: For hibernate you need ram size
[03:19] <ahorner> Am I supposed to use restricted drivers for my ati radeon x1550 pro
[03:19] <ahorner> with a 1440x900 res monitor
[03:19] <IndyGunFreak> do0zman:  probably 2-3gigs would be more than enough
[03:19] <do0zman> that would be 4gb
[03:19] <do0zman> i was just told 2gb is to much
[03:20] <zappitelli16> nepbabu how do I paste into pastebin from the terminal?

[03:25] <zachalink> "you are not priviledged to eject "WoW DVD"... wtf.. immediate fix plz
[03:25] <zappitelli16> link?
[03:25] <zetheroo> for some reason when I try to install Windows XP Pro in VBox the computer just powers off... this has happened twice now
[03:25] <ahorner> a simple yes/no will suffice
[03:25] <_Leppy> !kubuntu_docs proglem
[03:25] <nepbabu> zachalink, sudo eject
[03:25] <ahorner> zetheroo: cpu overheating?
[03:25] <_Leppy> ahorner, just chill and someone will help you.
[03:25] <ahorner> lol ok but its not a hard questino
[03:25] <_Leppy> they did give you a site to check out too
[03:25] <zetheroo> ahorner: the fan has been going non-stop
[03:25] <zappitelli16> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55052/plain/
[03:25] <zappitelli16> is that what you wanted?
[03:25] <ahorner> which fan...
[03:25] <zachalink> ty
[03:26] <zetheroo> ahorner: why would the cpu overheat with Ubuntu and not with Windows?
[03:26] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, looks good. :) now do $ sudo dhclient eth1
[03:26] <revilodraw> #FFFFFF is white, what is transparent?
[03:26] <ahorner> zetheroo: idk but its happened to me before..
[03:26] <schwepps> zetheroo, broken power management in linux?
[03:26] <ahorner> revilodraw: # lo
[03:26] <Shuggle> should I be worried about de-fragmenting my hard drive when using ubuntu?
[03:26] <revilodraw> ahorner; thanks!
[03:26] <schwepps> Shuggle, no
[03:26] <zetheroo> schwepps: so does this mean no Ubuntu for me?
[03:26] <IndyGunFreak> Shuggle: no
[03:27] <ahorner> revilodraw: err... i was being sarcastic
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> !defrag | Shuggle
[03:27] <ubotu> Shuggle: 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.
[03:27] <schwepps> zetheroo, how get power management working
[03:27] <zappitelli16> should I paste again?
[03:27] <revilodraw> ahorner; not very funny... do u actaully know or not?
[03:27] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, nope.
[03:27] <zachalink> btw, why didn't it normally let me eject? was it because I changed the mounting?
[03:27] <Frogzoo_> hmmm - looks like I can get /usr to mount by disabling the fsck check in /etc/fstab - not really ideal, but it's something
[03:27] <zetheroo> schwepps: you asking me?
[03:27] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, do $ sudo dhclient eth1
[03:27] <ahorner> revilodraw: umm depends.. what are you trying to make transparent
[03:27] <schwepps> zetheroo, i meant "how about"
[03:27] <Shuggle> Thanks!
[03:27] <schwepps> zetheroo, are you on a laptop?
[03:27] <zetheroo> schwepps: yes
[03:27] <revilodraw> ahorner; a clock widget in gdesklets
[03:28] <schwepps> zetheroo, which one?
[03:28] <zappitelli16> nepbabu http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55053/plain/
[03:28] <ahorner> revilodraw: there is no hex code, you have to just make it match the background
[03:28] <zetheroo> schwepps: toshiba sat
[03:28] <revilodraw> ahorner; ok thanks
[03:28] <vbabiy_laptop_> why would my laptop network cards start at eth1
[03:28] <iDivine_> Compiz people aren't helping me ;(

[03:30] <midgetnat> Hello guys.. :) I'm having some issues trying to connect to my smtp server. I can do it locally but I cannot do it remotely. I verified the IPTABLES and the remote computer has access to it. What could be happening?

[03:31] <ahorner> schwepps: thats like t3 fiber
[03:32] <genii> vbabiy_laptop_: Yes, eth0 normally. But if you recently changed cards, the old one has a remnant in the udev settings by mac address and the new one becomes eth1 even if eth0 no longer exists
[03:32] <zappitelli16> any other ideas nepbabu?
[03:32] <ahorner> brb gotta restart
[03:32] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, yes. your key is wrong afaik
[03:32] <cclampblues> i have a question about the flash plugin for  firefox... i have installed it through add/remove programs and it is not being recgonized by firefox. it says i still need to install a plugin. so i click the link and it says the plugin is already installed and to restart firefox. i close firefox (with x button) aand restart... but i get the same message about installin the plugin. i am running xubuntu gusty...
[03:32] <cclampblues> please advise...
[03:32] <vbabiy_laptop_> genii: how can I reset this back to eth0
[03:33] <zappitelli16> what does that mean?
[03:33] <midgetnat> Hello guys.. :) I'm having some issues trying to connect to my smtp server. I can do it locally but I cannot do it remotely. I verified the IPTABLES and the remote computer has access to it. What could be happening?
[03:33] <tgm4883_laptop> so it just occured to me (im sitting at the airport), but how do I disable my wireless adapter for the airplane?
[03:33] <genii> vbabiy_laptop_: 1 moment I'll find the file to edit
[03:33] <schwepps> cclampblues, the way i usually do it is download flash manually, unzip it, and drag the files to .mozilla/firefox/plugins
[03:33] <tgm4883_laptop> would just unchecking "Enable Wireless" do it?
[03:33] <cclampblues> schwepps: the tar.gz file?
[03:33] <Starnestommy> tgm4883_laptop: ifdown wlan0?
[03:34] <schwepps> cclampblues, yea, the tar.gz from adobe
[03:34] <_Leppy> since no one wants to do any sort of order... subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[03:34] <tgm4883_laptop> Starnestommy, will that disable it though?
[03:34] <zappitelli16> how should I fix it?
[03:34] <_Leppy> can someone help me with this
[03:34] <_Leppy> please
[03:34] <vbabiy_laptop_> thanks genii
[03:34] <Starnestommy> tgm4883_laptop: It should, but you may also need to shut down wmaster0
[03:34] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, sec
[03:34] <cclampblues> schwepps: ok. just drag and drop huh... ill give it a shot. thanks!
[03:35] <tgm4883_laptop> Starnestommy, actually, it looks like i only have lo, eth0 and eth1
[03:35] <schwepps> cclampblues, yea, the only file you should need is libflashplayer.so or something
[03:35] <tgm4883_laptop> it's a intel wireless card
[03:35] <genii> vbabiy_laptop_: The old remnants are in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[03:35] <peter_> hi guys - how can i publish html/php files to apache, i.e. /var/www - have no access as user, only root access.
[03:35] <schwepps> cclampblues, of course this assumes the firefox you use is 32 bits
[03:35] <Starnestommy> tgm4883_laptop: the wireless is probably eth1 if you also have an ethernet port
[03:35] <tgm4883_laptop> Starnestommy, yea it is
[03:36] <_Leppy> can someone help me with this
[03:36] <pvl1> is there a awy to restore ubuntu?
[03:36] <_Leppy> subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[03:36] <tgm4883_laptop> so probably just ifdown eth0 then right?
[03:36] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, your wifi router uses wep/wpa?
[03:36] <tgm4883_laptop> Starnestommy, is there a similar way to disable bluetooth too?
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> pvl1: restore ubuntu?
[03:36] <zappitelli16> wpa
[03:36] <genii> vbabiy_laptop_: You can safely delete all entries in that file, they will be recreated next boot anyhow
[03:36] <pvl1> IndyGunFreak, yea like undo all changes within the last few days
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> pvl1: oh, no i don't think so.
[03:36] <vbabiy_laptop> genii: should i just wipe the file
[03:36] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, you need to get the correct key. putting in the essid only won't get you an IP address
[03:37] <tinin> _Leppy describe more your problem
[03:37] <genii> vbabiy_laptop: No
[03:37] <Starnestommy> tgm4883_laptop: I don't know how to do it for bluetooth, but there most likely is a way to do it
[03:37] <pvl1> IndyGunFreak, oh thanks
[03:37] <nepbabu> !wpa | zappitelli16
[03:37] <tgm4883_laptop> ok
[03:37] <ubotu> zappitelli16: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:37] <zappitelli16> okay how do I do that?
[03:37] <tgm4883_laptop> i'll just try disableing that from the bios and see what happens
[03:37] <midgetnat> Hello guys.. :) I'm having some issues trying to connect to my smtp server. I can do it locally but I cannot do it remotely. I verified the IPTABLES and the remote computer has access to it. What could be happening?
[03:37] <_Leppy> I keep getting this problem, I think it has to do with kubuntu docs and not being able to over write it
[03:37] <_Leppy> the folder
[03:37] <vbabiy_laptop> genii: the 1st and 3rd are the same right http://pastebin.com/m5a4b9fae
[03:37] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, there's a section called "WPAHowTo". read it
[03:37] <_Leppy> I try to update/upgrade anything and I get that along with problems with dpkg
[03:38] <zappitelli16> okay thanks
[03:38] <BIOSboiler> hi guys\
[03:38] <damnweirdo> hey everyone,
[03:38] <genii> vbabiy_laptop: Reading
[03:38] <BIOSboiler> hey
[03:38] <nepbabu> yw
[03:38] <nepbabu> hi damnweirdo
[03:38] <_Leppy> when I try to sudo apt-get install -f it comes back with the same problem
[03:38] <nepbabu> O_o
[03:38] <damnweirdo> Is there anyway I can run ubuntu w/o having to install it on my windows xp laptop?
[03:38] <vbabiy_laptop> genii: nvm 2 different macs
[03:38] <midgetnat> damnweirdo:  A LIVE CD
[03:38] <tinin> _Leppy try this in a terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[03:38] <nepbabu> !livecd | damnweirdo
[03:38] <ubotu> damnweirdo: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option.
[03:38] <damnweirdo> I have that, I think. I downloaded it, and burned it.
[03:39] <midgetnat> then start your computer with that cd in
[03:39] <nepbabu> damnweirdo, good. now set to boot from cd and boot if off the cd
[03:39] <genii> vbabiy_laptop: Yup. I had this problem on an Intel Yukon adapet it wanted to randomly make itself a new mac for some reason.
[03:39] <midgetnat> damnweirdo: go to your bios and set it up to boot from the cd
[03:39] <midgetnat> Hello guys.. :) I'm having some issues trying to connect to my smtp server. I can do it locally but I cannot do it remotely. I verified the IPTABLES and the remote computer has access to it. What could be happening?
[03:39] <nepbabu> O_o
[03:39] <damnweirdo> nep, that's what I've been trying to do. ... it always goes to the windows xp boot
[03:39] <genii> vbabiy_laptop: In this case you can change eth1 to read eth0   then just wipe the other
[03:39] <TangentBuntu> how can I view the whole desktop for ubuntu remotely?
[03:39] <vbabiy_laptop> okay
[03:39] <vbabiy_laptop> thanks
[03:40] <vbabiy_laptop> let me try
[03:40] <_Leppy> ok.. I'll let you know what it does after it's done.
[03:40] <nepbabu> damnweirdo, then you haven't fixed your boot sequence in the bios
[03:40] <midgetnat> Tnagentbuntu: VNC
[03:40] <_Leppy> in the meantime, ty so much tinnin, I've been waiting for 4 days to get some sort of help.
[03:40] <TangentBuntu> I see
[03:40] <TangentBuntu> I guess Iĺl just not do it then
[03:40] <damnweirdo> i'll look again...
[03:40] <nepbabu> !vnc | TangentBuntu
[03:40] <ubotu> TangentBuntu: 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
[03:40] <vbabiy_laptop> genii: do i need to restart
[03:41] <aldaek> what is a light weight (network) remote desktop?
[03:41] <vbabiy_laptop> genii: or can i run a command

[03:41] <midgetnat> hello.. i realy need some assistance here... i canot connect to my smtp server

[03:44] <midgetnat> anyways... who can assist me with the smtp?
[03:44] <jimmygoon> hm, my fonts look great in terminal/gvim but they look strange in xchat
[03:44] <midgetnat> i can connect locally but cannot do it remotely
[03:45] <midgetnat> checked the iptables and everything is fine
[03:45] <midgetnat> the remote computer has access to it
[03:45] <badkitty> hk2999: Hey nothing wrong with nano
[03:45] <nepbabu> midgetnat, poke a hole in your fw
[03:45] <Starnestommy> midgetnat: it could be your ISP blocking it
[03:45] <genii> vbabiy_laptop: You're welcome
[03:45] <midgetnat> but it is on the same network
[03:45] <nepbabu> midgetnat, so?
[03:46] <jimmygoon> How could I backup my current font configuration? I'm particularly smitten with it
[03:46] <midgetnat> nepbabu: called my isp and they were not blocking it
[03:47] <nepbabu> midgetnat, do you use a router? i'd double check that one as well
[03:47] <midgetnat> yup.. and the router is set to accept all connections to that machine
[03:47] <vbabiy_laptop> genii: do you know why vmware creates so many network alias
[03:48] <nepbabu> midgetnat, try telnet'ing to that machine
[03:48] <nepbabu> midgetnat, on that particular port
[03:48] <midgetnat> nepbabu: maybe something could be happening there... checked the inetd.conf and it has some lines about sendmail and exim and i have masqmail
[03:48] <genii> vbabiy_laptop: No, i don't use it
[03:48] <vbabiy_laptop> genii: thanks
[03:48] <cclampblues> what directory is firefox stored in in xubuntu?
[03:48] <nepbabu> midgetnat, no idea
[03:48] <eko_hermiyanto> How I can read UDF cd in Ubuntu?
[03:49] <midgetnat> nepbabu: yup it says it cannot connect to it... when i restart the daemon, it says something about several smtps... but they are removed... apt-get removed them before
[03:49] <eko_hermiyanto> I have searched through google but found no solution
[03:49] <Starnestommy> cclampblues: the program itself or the user config settings?
[03:49] <genii> cclampblues: Why not ask in #xubuntu ?
[03:49] <nepbabu> eko_hermiyanto, iso9660 is the option your after
[03:49] <nepbabu> cclampblues, /usr/lib/firefox
[03:49] <cclampblues> specifically the plugin folder? how can i search in thunar?
[03:49] <eko_hermiyanto> nepbabu, yes, but, unfortunately our art department created the cd in this format
[03:49] <nepbabu> eko_hermiyanto, i said use that option
[03:50] <cclampblues> also... what is a .so file?
[03:50] <eko_hermiyanto> nepbabu, in mount?
[03:50] <nepbabu> cclampblues, it's a library
[03:50] <Starnestommy> cclampblues: .so files are shared libraries
[03:50] <nepbabu> !mounting | eko_hermiyanto
[03:50] <ubotu> eko_hermiyanto: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[03:51] <cclampblues> ok would that be the file i need to drag into the plugin folder to make flash work in firfox?

[03:51] <papuccino1> Hey guys. Just wanted to ask a simple question.
[03:51] <nepbabu> !flash | cclampblues
[03:51] <ubotu> cclampblues: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[03:51] <papuccino1> Is the splash screen the login part of ubuntu or the part AFTER you login?
[03:52] <cclampblues> thanks nepbabu. but ive been there and done that. ive followed the directiions. installed the flash plugin. and it doesnt work. i was told i can drag and drop the uncompressed file in firefox's plugin folder.... would that be the .so filee?
[03:52] <papuccino1> Woops, got disconnected could someone answer me again.
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> papuccino1: splash, i believe, is the screen after you sign in
[03:53] <papuccino1> Thanks for the answer Indy.
[03:53] <Starnestommy> papuccino1: it's both the login screen and the screen before the login screen pops up
[03:53] <nepbabu> cclampblues, copy over libflashplayer.so and flashplayer.xpt to your ~/.mozilla/plugins
[03:53] <papuccino1> Thanks for the answers.
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> nepbabu: cclampblues why not just runt he install script, it will do it for you
[03:53] <BIOSboiler>  has anyone tried "mepis"?
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> BIOSboiler: yes, its ok.
[03:54] <do0zman> i installed video driver that i was prompted to after install and no i have no visual after ubuntu slider
[03:54] <fismoll8> anyone know of a decent nintendo ds emulator for ubuntu
[03:54] <simpLSIMoN> has anyone seen a sata port timeout issue during boot - more spec. does anyone know of a fix or a workaround?
[03:54] <do0zman> any way to fix that
[03:54] <DoubleDew> anyone know why my usb wireless network adapter all of a sudden will not be recognized?  I had to do nothing to get it to work orignally.  Any suggestions?  is there a way to create a network adapter?
[03:54] <zappitelli17> okay nepbabu I tried everything that the WPAHowTo said, and I still can't connect.
[03:55] <BIOSboiler> hey Indy do u like ubuntu better?
[03:55] <IndyGunFreak> BIOSboiler: much.
[03:55] <BIOSboiler> why?
[03:55] <cclampblues> and after i have installed the plugin my mouse freezes. i have to restart now . what the hell is that?
[03:55] <BIOSboiler> just u like Gnome better than kde
[03:55] <damnweirdo> I think I didn't properly burn the iso for my LIVE CD.
[03:55] <tinin> _Leppy I hope it works, if not just try to follow the eeror msg fro synaptic apt-get or aptitude
[03:55] <IndyGunFreak> BIOSboiler: to many reasons to list.. but gnome over kde is one... yes
[03:55] <nepbabu> zappitelli17, in that case i can't help you.
[03:55] <BIOSboiler> this dude at work told me that GNOME was for Newbies
[03:55] <damnweirdo> when I look at the CD, I only see one iso image file on the cd.
[03:55] <Noogen> simp: i think it's adding irqpoll to boot option or something to do with turning on raid in the bios
[03:55] <zappitelli17> do you know where I can get help?
[03:55] <nepbabu> BIOSboiler, no it's not.
[03:56] <IndyGunFreak> BIOSboiler: that dude is an idiot, Gnome/Kubuntu/Xfce they all do the same thing, they just look different while doing it.
[03:56] <nepbabu> BIOSboiler, use it yourself first n see it first hand.
[03:56] <BIOSboiler> i have
[03:56] <jimmygoon> BIOSboiler, I would agree with others, that person was an idiot
[03:56] <BIOSboiler> i like gnome
[03:56] <jimmygoon> BIOSboiler, though KDE is often cited as being more for powerusers or people that want easy access to tweak everything
[03:56] <NW2190> Can anyone help me mount a file off of another linux computer?
[03:57] <nepbabu> BIOSboiler, so if you like it. then why listen to some wannabies?
[03:57] <damnweirdo> can anyone tell me if there's a special way of burning iso image file to a bootable cd?
[03:57] <jimmygoon> NW2190, "mount" a file?
[03:57] <BIOSboiler> its j8ust all the hard core linux guys i know laugh at me when i told them i like gnome they said it was for Newbies only
[03:57] <jimmygoon> NW2190, what do you mean?
[03:57] <NW2190> sorry
[03:57] <Invisible_Ubunti> Trying to change my usplash Grub Splash screen but for some reason its not working.  I did use the Gnome GUI Splash screen manager and now I'm unable to change it anymore by replacing the file that is located in /usr/lib/usplash anymore any idea's on what to do?
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> damnweirdo: 1.. burn it slow, but google "How to burn an ISO" the first link is really good.
[03:57] <Flannel> damnweirdo: just make sure you burn the image, not the file itself.  If you see an iso file on the CD, its wrong
[03:57] <NW2190> I mean a directory off of a computer on my local network
[03:57] <jimmygoon> BIOSboiler, "hardcore" linux guys? Sounds like fluxbox/kde/etc fanbois...
[03:57] <DVS01> NW2190: depends on the os of the other pc. what os is it?
[03:57] <nepbabu> BIOSboiler, it's the first point contact for most linux users. so they might think it's for newbies
[03:57] <jimmygoon> NW2190, nautilus has built in support for a lot of that sort of thing
[03:57] <damnweirdo> flannel, that what I thought. THX
[03:57] <BIOSboiler> jimmy they like Freebds
[03:57] <NW2190> DVS01: Slackware
[03:57] <jimmygoon> Place->Connect to Server, etc
[03:57] <BIOSboiler> Freebsd
[03:58] <NW2190> Well is there something I could add to my /etc/fstab?
[03:58] <jimmygoon> BIOSboiler, hm, well, thats different than linux but meh, w/e. As far as I'm concerned I'm a hardcore GNOME user and happy with that
[03:58] <nepbabu> BIOSboiler, i've used minix in the past. does that make me uber?
[03:58] <Invisible_Ubunti> BIOSboiler, its all personal choice there is no GUI that is for newbies only
[03:58] <jimmygoon> NW2190, you could look at FUSE/FUSEFS to see if it will mount networked transparently... I'm not sure it will :/
[03:58] <zappitelli17> how do I look up what my wireless card's interface is?
[03:58] <brandon__> i cannot in stall my linksys wireless adapter
[03:59] <jimmygoon> !fuse | NW2190
[03:59] <ubotu> NW2190: 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
[03:59] <DVS01> NW2190: easiest way imo is sshfs. get sshfs, and you can then connect via ssh to another system and mount its filesystem to yours
[03:59] <brandon__> can some one help me
[03:59] <papuccino1> Hey guys, Quick question: What could I use to make an NFO and a SFV file in Ubuntu.
[03:59] <DVS01> NW2190: that or look up nfs. you can also use samba, but thats typically for windows integration
[03:59] <nepbabu> !ask | Brandon_
[03:59] <ubotu> Brandon_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[03:59] <nepbabu> !ask | brandon__
[03:59] <ubotu> brandon__: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[03:59] <genii> cclampblues: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[03:59] <NW2190> DVS01: K thanks I'll try to look at that
[03:59] <Invisible_Ubunti> papuccino1, NFO is a txt file renamed to NFO for people that use "Warez" while NFO is a windows file containing system information
[03:59] <brandon__> lol k
[03:59] <DVS01> sshfs is FUSE based, so you can mount as a regular user, without having to be root
[04:00] <DVS01> NW2190: example.. mkdir ~/otherpc ; sshfs user@someotherpc.net:/path/to/somewhere ~/otherpc
[04:00] <Invisible_Ubunti> papuccino1, SFV if I remember right is a file checksum for people that download a RAR/TAR/ZIP file so look at your corresponding zip/rar program
[04:00] <papuccino1> I see. Thanks for the NFO information. So I just write in a simple text editor, rename the extension ".nfo" and it would be an NFO file? Correct?
[04:00] <brandon__> Hey is there any one who now how to make the desktop cube transparent?
[04:00] <Invisible_Ubunti> Yes
[04:01] <DVS01> brandon__, run ccsm, it will let you configure compiz
[04:01] <papuccino1> Thanks Invisible.
[04:01] <papuccino1> One more question. How do I make a SFV file in Linux?
[04:01] <BIOSboiler> hey jimmy how long have u been a linux user?
[04:01] <Invisible_Ubunti> Anyone got a spare sec to help me fix my grub splash that I borked up :P
[04:01] <brandon__> DVS01_, I am new at ubuntu can u be more specific?
[04:01] <citm> i am having trouble with my wireless.. i had it setup manually but it stopped working after i turned my computer off at the end of the day and on the next day.. so i am using roaming now, it connects to my router, but I cannot get to any websites
[04:01] <Invisible_Ubunti> papuccino1, SFV if I remember right is a file checksum for people that download a RAR/TAR/ZIP file so look at your corresponding zip/rar program
[04:01] <citm> any ideas
[04:01] <citm> ?
[04:02] <DVS01> brandon__: system|preferences|advanced desktop effects settings
[04:02] <TKingdom> Invisible_Ubunti, describe it real quick and someone might be able to help
[04:02] <Invisible_Ubunti> citm, load your wireless network search tool, unless you have it load at startup you have to reconnect everytime
[04:02] <DVS01> brandon__: if that doenst exist, you may have to install it thru synaptic package manager
[04:02] <zappitelli17> how do I get Device Manager to come up in Gutsy under <System --> Administration?
[04:02] <Invisible_Ubunti> TKingdom, I did but I'll repeat :)
[04:02] <Invisible_Ubunti> Trying to change my usplash Grub Splash screen but for some reason its not working.  I did use the Gnome GUI Splash screen manager and now I'm unable to change it anymore by replacing the file that is located in /usr/lib/usplash anymore any idea's on what to do?
[04:02] <TKingdom> It happens :)
[04:02] <citm> network manager seems to load at startup and connect to the network automatically
[04:02] <moe_> yo
[04:03] <papuccino1> Yes, I know it's for file verification purposes. In windows, I would select all the RAR's (I would divide a big file into small rar files) and then rightclick selecting create SFV file in the shell menu.
[04:03] <papuccino1> A different program did that process. Not WinRar.
[04:03] <BIOSboiler> gdesklets
[04:03] <Invisible_Ubunti> citm, I know on my laptop I use Kubuntu and I had to manually startup the wireless app to connect it wouldn't do it on startup
[04:03] <heartsblood> if I want to search for something from console what's the most effect tool to do that?
[04:03] <brandon__> ya i got that stuff but cant rilly find it
[04:04] <nepbabu> heartsblood, find
[04:04] <citm> thanks Invisible_Ubunti. Seems to startup automatically in gnome - i'd install kubuntu, which i want to, but i cnat get on the net on it.
[04:04] <citm> lol
[04:04] <Invisible_Ubunti> papuccino1, it depends on what program your using to make the rar as to how to make the SVF file is what I'm hinting at.. if you are making RAR's then consult the --help menu of the rar consolde command
[04:04] <moe_> any of u dudes can help me out with this it's me first time useing linux i want to use Beryl so i can download a dock like the one i had in mac
[04:04] <genii> heartsblood: find or locate        but you might want to do sudo updatedb             first
[04:04] <TKingdom> Invisible_Ubunti: Is the Gnome GUI Splash called gnome-splashscreen-manager?
[04:04] <papuccino1> Brandon: download Gnome Compiz Manager. You can edit everything from a simple window. No need for code. Just search for: "Gnome Compiz Manager".
[04:04] <Jonathan83> locate works too
[04:04] <Invisible_Ubunti> citm, what card?
[04:04] <BIOSboiler> what is the difference between free bsd and ubuntu?
[04:04] <nepbabu> Invisible_Ubunti, what's wrong with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplash?
[04:04] <citm> be an intel.. the driver is let me check.. ilw4965
[04:05] <putnum> anybody know if there is a way to run vmware server in the background?
[04:05] <Invisible_Ubunti> TKingdom, yes, I started out by manually replacing the file in /usr/lib/usplash then I read somewhere to use the GUI and then that stopped switching and its stuck on one splash I don't want
[04:05] <TKingdom> Same exact thing happened to me yesterday
[04:05] <heartsblood> nepbabu: there's a much more efficient command but I just can't remember the name of it
[04:05] <eko_hermiyanto> if I have edit /etc/fstab, then how to activate my newly edited filesystem in ubuntu?
[04:05] <zh> i want to chinese channel,but i donot known how to do
[04:05] <Invisible_Ubunti> nepbabu, thats the problem that isn't working
[04:05] <TKingdom> All you need is USplash installed and Start-Up Manager
[04:05] <BIOSboiler> putnum search for virtualbox.org
[04:05] <genii> BIOSboiler: freeBSD is of Unix origin, Ubuntu is of Linux origin. Linux is a unix-like operating system.
[04:05] <nepbabu> heartsblood, find / -name "foo" -type f
[04:06] <BIOSboiler> what the difference?
[04:06] <putnum> bio: i don't want vbox
[04:06] <mahmoud_> BIOSboiler: Ubuntu uses Linux kernel .. FreeBSD has its own kernel (different)
[04:06] <crdlb> !ccsm | brandon__
[04:06] <ubotu> brandon__: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[04:06] <Starnestommy> zh: type /join #ubuntu cn
[04:06] <putnum> i prefer vmware
[04:06] <heartsblood> nepbabu: there's something better
[04:06] <Starnestommy> zh: er, /join #ubuntu-cn
[04:06] <schwepps> putnum, "in the background"?
[04:06] <nepbabu> heartsblood, ok
[04:06] <eko_hermiyanto> BIOSboiler, the different is Windows is Windows and ReactOS is only an operating system which created to act like Windows(that's same with Unix and Linux)
[04:06] <putnum> well i mean not see the gui
[04:06] <genii> BIOSboiler: Much. The core code is not the same. Also BSD retains much in the way of traditional unix filesystem structures
[04:06] <Invisible_Ubunti> nepbabu, I got this Fingerprint Splash one and its messed up the part that moves to show progress is all messed up so I went to change it and used the GUI manager now the GUI won't change it and neither will command line
[04:06] <putnum> like have it run as a process
[04:06] <^Elfboy> hi anyone here know ubuntu server
[04:06] <schwepps> all programs run as processes
[04:07] <mahmoud_> ^Elfboy ?
[04:07] <nepbabu> Invisible_Ubunti, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[04:07] <zh> oh thanks
[04:07] <putnum> i don't want to see the vmware window i guess is what i am trying to say
[04:07] <Jewsus_> How come when I delete files they do not show up in my Trash?
[04:07] <mahmoud_> !server | ^Elfboy
[04:07] <ubotu> ^Elfboy: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support
[04:07] <papuccino1> Ok, downloaded the rar program from the Add/Remove menu. What's the program called, can't find it in the menus nor can I launch it in the alt+f2 process.
[04:07] <Invisible_Ubunti> nepbabu, did all that :)
[04:08] <genii> BIOSboiler: Binaries for one will not work on the other. Although bsd has a linux binary compatability feature, last i saw it supported kernel 2.4 binaries.
[04:08] <schwepps> putnum, either use screen, '&' at the prompt, run it in the initscripts, etc
[04:08] <Dimitree> how can i update my repositorys ? I have enabled all kinds of repositorys except source but when i search for Xchat it only finds 1 result oposed to the two results i got before reinstalling ubuntu ?
[04:08] <nepbabu> Invisible_Ubunti, then i have no help for you.
[04:08] <schwepps> dozens of different solutions
[04:08] <brandon__> k thx guys
[04:08] <TKingdom> Invisible_Ubunti:  I  had the same symptoms, I got tired of looking how to get it back to normal but I just ended up reinstalling
[04:08] <Noogen> putnum: if you start a virtual machine then it is run in the background until you stop it or shutdown
[04:08] <Invisible_Ubunti> nepbabu, added vga=791 to the menu.lst file replaced the file in /usr/lib/usplash and recreated the link
[04:08] <BIOSboiler> does anyone in hear like freebsd?
[04:08] <papuccino1> Ok, downloaded the rar program from the Add/Remove menu. What's the program called, can't find it in the menus nor can I launch it in the alt+f2 process.
[04:08] <cclampblues> ok. so here goes again. I am trying to install flash plugin for firefox. i have attempted to do it through firefox and it always failed. i installed it through the add/remove programs option. i start firefox and  it says i still need to install the plugin. only now if i click the link to do so in firefox it says that it is already installed. i have the tar.gz uncompressed on my desktop ---dragging and dropping as was suggested to me doe
[04:08] <nepbabu> Invisible_Ubunti, try vga=ask and set the lowest one after scan
[04:08] <Noogen> putnum: or you can set it up to start individual vm in the startup script
[04:08] <Invisible_Ubunti> nepbabu, thanks anyways.. think its just being a bit weird right now :)
[04:09] <Starnestommy> BIOSboiler: I've used it in vm's before
[04:09] <bruenig> papuccino1, are you talking about unrar?
[04:09] <schwepps> BIOSboiler, sure. i also like long walks on the beach and champagne
[04:09] <putnum> ok and does anybody know if vbox works seamlessly like vmware does? And how many concurrent sessions does it allow ?
[04:09] <TKingdom> Install compiz-fusion and see if that takes it back to normal.
[04:09] <putnum> i know vmware only allows 3
[04:09] <mahmoud_> Jewsus_: in Linux if you delete a file, its deleted .. the "delete" button is a move to trash not delete.
[04:09] <do0zman> i istalled the driver i was prompted to by the system and now i hav no visual
[04:09] <Noogen> putnum: what do you mean 3?
[04:09] <do0zman> what do i do to bring it back?
[04:09] <papuccino1> No
[04:09] <Starnestommy> do0zman: try disablibng usplash
[04:10] <Starnestommy> *disabling
[04:10] <papuccino1> The program just says "Rar"
[04:10] <Noogen> i run vmware server and i don't see a limit
[04:10] <Invisible_Ubunti> TKingdom, might have to do that. Think one of the settings are messed up in the profile of mine to hold it to the splash screen it is now just don't know where else to look
[04:10] <yurimxpxman> I just deleted /dev/null. is there any way to get it back?
[04:10] <schwepps> yurimxpxman, probably best to reboot
[04:10] <do0zman> how would i do that i booted into recovery mode
[04:10] <papuccino1> Rar: Compression Uncompression tool. That's all it says.
[04:10] <putnum> vmware (from what i have read) only allows you to have 3 concurrent rdp sessions open at a time
[04:10] <karlNY> yurimxpxman: man /dev/null --- shows you commands to restore /dev/null at the bottom of the manpage.
[04:10] <putnum> noogen: really?
[04:10] <bruenig> papuccino1, ok so that is probably unrar
[04:10] <Noogen> yeah, what kind of limit are you talking about?
[04:10] <schwepps> do0zman, by visual, you mean X11?
[04:10] <Jewsus_> mahmoud_ if I specifically choose "Move to Trash" it still does not show up in the trash
[04:10] <yurimxpxman> karlNY: cool. Thanks
[04:11] <karlNY> yurimxpxman: hang on I lied
[04:11] <schwepps> do0zman, you could edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and use the vesa driver, for example
[04:11] <zcat[1]> sudo mknod c 1 3 /dev/null   or something like that?
[04:11] <BIOSboiler> schwepps what does that mean?
[04:11] <karlNY> yurimxpxman: if that doesn't show it, try    man /dev/zero
[04:11] <mahmoud_> Jewsus_ : is that a NTFS partition?
[04:11] <do0zman> if i use the regular boot(not recovery) i get a blank screen
[04:11] <putnum> so you can open notepad,photoshop,itunes and ie all at the sametime?   and are you running them seamlessly or in the vm console
[04:11] <NW2190> hey, if a fairly old computer randomly shutsdown (regardless of distro) is the problem likely with the power supply?
[04:11] <bruenig> !info rar
[04:11] <ubotu> rar (source: rar): Archiver for .rar files. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.7b1-2 (gutsy), package size 494 kB, installed size 1012 kB (Only available for i386 amd64)
[04:11] <Noogen> putnum: yep
[04:11] <bruenig> !info unrar
[04:11] <ubotu> unrar (source: unrar-nonfree): Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.7.3-1.1 (gutsy), package size 94 kB, installed size 232 kB
[04:11] <putnum> using seamlessrdp i assume?
[04:11] <yurimxpxman> karlNY: I don't have those man pages
[04:11] <karlNY> yurimxpxman: if that doesn't show it, try    man zero
[04:11] <karlNY>     ---->    mknod -m 666 /dev/null  c 1 3
[04:12] <karlNY> =) cool?
[04:12] <Noogen> putnum: i use seamless remote desktop desktop
[04:12] <Starnestommy> man null
[04:12] <Noogen> yep
[04:12] <cclampblues> yeah ok thanks
[04:12] <putnum> noogen: awsome can you share what guide you used?
[04:12] <Jewsus_> mahmoud_ I don't know, how can I find out if it's ntfs?
[04:12] <TKingdom> NW2190: Does the computer start up like normal?
[04:12] <Invisible_Ubunti> papuccino1, by doing "rar --help" it says type sfx[name]     Create SFX archive
[04:12] <schwepps> Jewsus_, cfdisk?
[04:13] <NW2190> TKingdom: ya pretty much. and the intervals are really random
[04:13] <schwepps> but down write anything for the love of god
[04:13] <Noogen> putnum: it just work, though the session is your os limitation
[04:13] <Frogzoo_> really odd - removing evms solved my /usr refusing to mount
[04:13] <decay> just installed ubuntu. howcome when it books, X doesnt start, and when i type startx, i go in as root?
[04:13] <Invisible_Ubunti> so do rar and at the end of the command put sfx *filename*
[04:13] <genii> yurimxpxman: Your answer is in #kubuntu
[04:13] <Jewsus_> schwepps, cfdisk says "Fatal error: Cannot open disk drive"
[04:13] <schwepps> Jewsus_, sudo
[04:13] <NW2190> TKingdom: sometimes it will stay on for hours and other times it won't last 10 minutes
[04:13] <Noogen> putnum: there was an xp sp1 update that remove this limit in xp
[04:13] <putnum> yea
[04:13] <Noogen> but all i need is one session
[04:13] <papuccino1> Invisible, where do I type this "rar --help" command?
[04:13] <Starnestommy> decay: try sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start instead
[04:13] <Jewsus_> ok ty
[04:13] <Invisible_Ubunti> decay, sounds like your xserver is having driver issues or you didn' create a normal user?
[04:13] <TKingdom> NW2190: Well, if everything else on the motherboard works fine then you might try swapping the PSU, just to make sure.
[04:14] <papuccino1> say again?
[04:14] <papuccino1> i got disconnected
[04:14] <Jewsus_> mahmoud_, I think it's ntfs
[04:14] <putnum> ok where can i get the patch
[04:14] <Invisible_Ubunti> in console
[04:14] <decay> Starnestommy: thanks.  Invisible_Ubunti : i don't know about drivers. but i did have to use noapic to boot.
[04:14] <putnum> i have xp sp2
[04:14] <zcat[1]> !terminal
[04:14] <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
[04:14] <Noogen> putnum: why don't you have your start menu open?
[04:14] <mahmoud_> Jewsus_ : show hidden files .. you will probably find it in .trash-username
[04:14] <Noogen> i have mine auto-hide
[04:14] <Noogen> i mean the xp taskbar
[04:14] <putnum> because i don't want that
[04:15] <putnum> how much memory do you have?
[04:15] <NW2190> TKingdom: Ya, sometimes after it randomly shutsdown  the monitor doesn't display anything on startup and I have to wait a while for it to work. Could that be related to a PSU problem?
[04:15] <Noogen> 8gb
[04:15] <putnum> damn
[04:15] <putnum> i only have 2
[04:15] <Noogen> yep
[04:15] <Jonathan83> NW2190  yes it could be
[04:15] <schwepps> i have 512 lol
[04:16] <putnum> i am gonna try and set it up so i can run it over ssh
[04:16] <karlNY> Hey guys  --  where do I forage to RTFM about customizing VPN tunnels so only one application (or port) is connected via tun0, and all others go through a normal eth0 public connection?
[04:16] <schwepps> i've never had more than 512 on a linux box
[04:16] <karlNY> besides google. tried that. still trying that. =)
[04:16] <Noogen> i installed the patch so that I can have two session.  one account is setup to have no desktop so i can use seamlessrdp, the other i connect through vmware terminal to do windows maintenance stuff
[04:16] <Jewsus_> mahmoud_ I can find the .trash folder which has what it is supposed to, but why doesn't clicking the trash icon bring up that folder?
[04:16] <NW2190> Jonathan83: Ok, ya then I'll just have to swap it out and see if it works. Thanks
[04:16] <decay> Invisible_Ubunti: that worked. will i have to type this everytime?
[04:16] <putnum> now thats cool RDP over ssh
[04:17] <Invisible_Ubunti> decay, no
[04:17] <su-hoens`rZ> I just managed to install gcc-2.95 and g++-2.95, however when i tried to compile my program i got undefined reference to "cerr". Why are standard things not being found to be linked to?
[04:17] <decay> Invisible_Ubunti: but i just gave me a pop up. "Internal Error. failed to initialize HAL"
[04:17] <Jonathan83> yeah I heard about that but never tried it )RDP ssh)
[04:17] <decay> what is HAL
[04:17] <Invisible_Ubunti> decay, This is a fresh install?
[04:17] <putnum> yea
[04:17] <decay> yes just now
[04:17] <putnum> seems awsome
[04:18] <genii> decay: Hardware Abstraction Layer
[04:18] <Invisible_Ubunti> decay, if I remember Hardware Application Layer
[04:18]  * yurimxpxman unlinks /dev/mem..
[04:18] <decay> genii: oh
[04:18] <TKingdom> Has anyone here menually installed ATI video drivers?
[04:18] <TKingdom> manually*
[04:18] <decay> this is strange because i had a fresh install last week and this didn't happen
[04:18] <Invisible_Ubunti> decay, its a way to detect your hardware and configure it
[04:18] <yurimxpxman> TKingdom: yes
[04:18] <pvl1> TKingdom, yea
[04:18] <putnum> be able to access your pc anywhere that has a internet connection
[04:18] <pvl1> TKingdom, dont recommend it
[04:18] <genii> battery dying, no cord. Later
[04:18] <Invisible_Ubunti> TKingdom, there a pain and is frustrating try the repo 1st
[04:18] <TKingdom> That's what I was afraid of, I was going to back up my system first.
[04:18] <mahmoud_> Jewsus_ : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-vfs2/+bug/106621
[04:19] <mahmoud_> !bug 106621 | Jewsus_
[04:19] <TKingdom> I have a Radeon Xpress 200, crappy onboard video card. All the 3D games I've installed seem to lag
[04:19] <putnum> so whats the eayest method to get wpa wireless setup under ubuntu?
[04:19] <squish102> could someone suggest an easily configured email server. zimbra/scalix possibly?
[04:20] <schwepps> there's no such thing as an easily configured email server
[04:20] <TKingdom> pvl1: Do you have to uncheck the Use option in the Restricted Drivers Manager for the current card?
[04:20] <squish102> haha
[04:20] <Invisible_Ubunti> TKingdom, Yea try the repo then do it, it saves a backup so any problems just restore your backup to orginal not very hard
[04:20] <waterz> how can i configure ubuntu so that everytime i start the command login prompt will appear.
[04:20] <Blue_Sassley> Can someone remind what the program is for iPods?
[04:20] <schwepps> email was invented to cause sysadmins pain and discomfort :-)
[04:20] <putnum> or is wep alot easyer to setup?
[04:20] <schwepps> don't use wep, ever
[04:21] <chris062689> I can't wait to get my Eee :)
[04:21] <TKingdom> Invisible_Ubunti:  The package manager makes a backup/
[04:21] <TKingdom> ?
[04:21] <chris062689> Should arrive tomorrow.
[04:21] <chris062689> Anyone else have a Eee?
[04:21] <mahmoud_> !bug 106621 | Jewsus_
[04:21] <pvl1> TKingdom, no, i think i compiled, set it to use it, and reset, but i had so many problems with it picking up the correct driver. what card are you using?
[04:21] <norv> chris062689: me, it's not as amazing as they look of course
[04:21] <putnum> well i can set my ssid not to broadcast
[04:21] <TKingdom> Radeon Xpress 200
[04:21] <putnum> and it should be fine
[04:21] <chris062689> Well.. All I'm going to be using it for is college anyway, so it should be all good
[04:21] <chris062689> Do you have any huge problems with it?  Are you using the Xandros OS?
[04:21] <Noogen> one of the infamous card
[04:21] <norv> chris062689: well, if they expect you to use fancy document formats get ready for pain
[04:22] <putnum> schwepps how do you get wpa setup?
[04:22] <Noogen> but then no worries, many people ran into the problem of your card and have overcame it
[04:22] <chris062689> What.. do you mean norv?
[04:22] <norv> chris062689: or have to type a alot on the thing
[04:22] <karlNY> Hmmmm  --  where do I forage to RTFM about customizing VPN tunnels so only one application (or port) is connected via tun0, and all others go through a normal eth0 public connection?
[04:22] <karlNY> besides google. tried that. still trying that. =)
[04:22] <Invisible_Ubunti> TKingdom, when it installs it backsup to a old config file so if it fails rename the new to old and old to new :)
[04:22] <Noogen> i think the regular vesa driver should work or even radeonhd
[04:22] <TKingdom> I ran Return to Castle Wolfenstein on low settings (online), and it was pretty choppy
[04:22] <fxd> how do I add a new irc server into my irc client?
[04:22] <chris062689> norv: I don't think the typing thing will be a huge deal for me, I kind of have small fingers.
[04:22] <TKingdom> Invisible_Ubunti: Ahh, thanks for the tip
[04:22] <chris062689> And think I can adjust to the keyboard.
[04:23] <yannick_> join #ubuntu-qc
[04:23] <tinman> fxd: depend on client
[04:23] <cclampblues> hello what dooes the message cpu freq changed mean. i keep seeing it as i shutdown or restart?
[04:23] <Invisible_Ubunti> brb going ot try something!!
[04:23] <norv> chris062689: worry if they want you to use Microsoft software, I had a physics course where I had to turn everything in in the new Office formats
[04:23] <chris062689> norv: I still think I'm really going to enjoy it :)  I'm probably going to get EeeXubuntu on it.
[04:23] <TKingdom> i heard someone say a good system restore program
[04:23] <TKingdom> cant recall what it was
[04:23] <chris062689> norv: OpenOffice doesn't support 07 yet?
[04:24] <putnum> does anybody know how to get wpa wireless setup?
[04:24] <pvl1> TKingdom, i recommend for you to use envy. i have a radeon 2600, got compiz to run and stuff, but no games. although xp runs em fine. although i did screw up my ubuntu, which i plan on fixing sometime next week. so im not sure on anythint right now
[04:24] <norv> chris062689: let me check again, don't recall
[04:24] <mahmoud_> chris062689: on Ubuntu it does support 07 but not for everything
[04:26] <norv> chris062689: otoh if you can enter formulas in TeX and such it's nice, because text editors don't use much proc/ram
[04:27] <musikgoat> chris062689: I could not import office 07 files in OOo 2.3,  i think that is slated for 3.0
[04:28] <mahmoud_> misikgoat: under ubuntu ?
[04:28] <norv> under OpenOffice, ubuntu just packages
[04:28] <musikgoat> right
[04:28] <mahmoud_> norv : ubuntu OOo packages are based on novell OOo which has the ooxml imports
[04:29] <norv> mahmoud_: oh, so it's like another 'distribution' of OOo?
[04:31] <mahmoud_> norv: yes .. AFAIK most linux distributions base openoffice on go-oo (Novell openoffice.org version)
[04:31] <norv> btw, ooxml as in the MSFT one or the OpenOffice one?
[04:31] <Starnestommy> norv: MS.  OpenOffice uses OpenDocument
[04:32] <su-hoens`rZ> i just changed my sources.list in apt, how do i get apt to recognize changes?
[04:32] <musikgoat> norv  from ooo wiki:  "Office Open XML" is an XML based file format that has been published as ECMA-376. It is used as default file format by Microsoft Office 2007.
[04:32] <Starnestommy> su-hoens`rZ: sudo apt-get update
[04:32] <Invisible_Ubunti> Ok very newbie question when I'm looking at gnome-look.org it says GTK 2.x, Splash Screen, and GDM Theme can someone tell me the diffrence/what each of those changes plz
[04:32] <krammer> hi
[04:33] <krammer> need help install tar.bz2
[04:33] <norv> musikgoat: well, at least it's a standard unlike the older microsoft office ones
[04:33] <musikgoat> right, i agree
[04:33] <Starnestommy> Invisible_Ubunti: gtk themes are what the widgets look like, the splash screen shows between logging in and when trhe desktop is loaded, and the GDM theme is what the login screen looks like
[04:34] <Starnestommy> krammer: open it in the archive manager?
[04:34] <musikgoat> krammer: you need to untar  the file first
[04:34] <su-hoens`rZ> anyone know where i can get virtual machines which have gcc/g++ 2.95?
[04:34] <krammer> the files are extracted in the archive
[04:35] <codemonkey1024> Hey, how do I make a multiboot ubuntu install start up in windows by default?
[04:35] <kahrytan> Invisible_Ubunti->  uSplash is the screen that has the loading bar just before GDM login.
[04:35] <musikgoat> hehe, everytime i see the name codemonkey now, i just think of that jon coulton song!!
[04:35] <Invisible_Ubunti> Starnestommy, So Splash is what normally shows all the things loading before it gets to the desktop,  GTK is that what is like a Windows Theme controls Window Color's/Fonts/Etc, while GDM theme is the login screen where I type user/pass?
[04:35] <kahrytan> !grub > codemonkey1024
[04:36] <Starnestommy> Invisible_Ubunti: yes
[04:36] <karlNY> Hmmmm  --  where do I forage to RTFM about customizing VPN tunnels so only one application (or port) is connected via tun0, and all others go through a normal eth0 public connection?
[04:36] <karlNY> besides google. tried that. still trying that. =)

[04:37] <travisat_> krammer: if you are lazy like me install unp
[04:37] <krammer> no I am trying to learn about the cl
[04:37] <liquid> sup everyone
[04:37] <travisat> krammer: if you really want to learn about tar, man tar
[04:37] <MrObvious> do0zman: Ping. :p
[04:37] <travisat> krammer: it is quite complex
[04:38] <krammer> thank you
[04:38] <musikgoat> krammer: tar xjvf file_name.tar.bz2
[04:38] <krammer> trying to install pidgin
[04:39] <Starnestommy> krammer: sudo apt-get install pidgin?
[04:39] <musikgoat> krammer: you would find it easiest to install the packaged deb, as its built for ubuntu
[04:39] <krammer> ok thanks
[04:39] <dserban> what's the best bittorrent client I can gnash my teeth on?
[04:40] <travisat> dserban: I like transmission, but it isn't that complex, you might look at azureus
[04:41] <dserban> azuerrus looks super bloated to me.... and since bittorrent is an "unknown" to me, I want to keep it simplistic if at all possible
[04:41] <willwh> deluge is now
[04:41] <willwh> nice
[04:41] <willwh> but site seems to be down for me, http://deluge-torrent.org/
[04:41] <cptnapalm> Ah learn something new everyday.  Didn't even know Ubuntu had an official channel on IRC
[04:42] <travisat> deluge is in the repo
[04:42] <willwh> oh
[04:42] <travisat> :)
[04:42] <mahmoud_> http://deluge-torrent.org/ is up
[04:42] <willwh> guys I like this theme, but I can't figure out to get the font, I found in an swf?? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=68803&forumpage=1
[04:42] <willwh> http://www.miniml.com/fonts/font/kroeger_05_55/
[04:42] <willwh> how do I install it?
[04:42] <willwh> and use in gnome
[04:43] <deadlyallance543> how can you get the fingerprint scanner on a hp laptop to work with ubuntu?
[04:43] <dserban> so.. ehhh... quick primer.... so I need to seed my bittorrent client?  with a file?  I download via http?  is that right?....
[04:44] <musikgoat> dserban: you download a .torrent file which contains tracker information.  the file is opened in the client you choose, and starts its work connecting to the tracker to find other clients with full files (seeds) or partial (leechers)
[04:45] <travisat> willwh: you have to buy the fonts
[04:45] <dserban> ahh
[04:45] <willwh> oh
[04:45] <dserban> k makes sense... so... finding a specific download may be difficult right?  i have to find a torrent site first ?
[04:45] <travisat> willwh: he has 4 free ones but not the one you wanted
[04:46] <musikgoat> dserban: yes, there are public sites and private sites
[04:47] <musikgoat> piratebay is an example of a public site, where you can get files without signing up,  but there are privacy concerns with public sites
[04:47] <dserban> and... ehh... can you maybe name one or two?  i'm googling torrent but... meh I'm getting a lot of spammy sites

[04:50] <ilhamhafizovic> Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could recommend some reading material for a newbie Linux Ubuntu user
[04:50] <ilhamhafizovic> Books or maybe online content

[04:54] <Starnestommy> maybe vlc
[04:54] <Invisible_Ubunti> for a splash screen why type of file is it suppose to be in?
[04:54] <Cpudan80> dbgi: You do need the ubuntu-restricted-extras package to play MP3/M4A, etc
[04:54] <Thorsten11> i love vlc
[04:54] <Invisible_Ubunti> !splash
[04:54] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[04:55] <Cpudan80> VLC is good -- but I use it mainly for videos
[04:55] <dbgi> Cpudan80, i dont know, its playing my mp3's fine
[04:55] <Thorsten11> true
[04:55] <Tall> I'm using the LIVE cd right now, if I wanted to just mess around with it could I install programs through terminal or it won't work? I've been stuck trying to figure out how to install Tiny Fugue, heh.
[04:55] <Cpudan80> dbgi: then you prob have the package already
[04:55] <dbgi> Cpudan80, : yea sum how heh
[04:56] <dbgi> vlc doesent come with as a default?
[04:56] <Thorsten11> nope

[05:03] <JASONCO> hi -- ive got a series of video files that im trying to re-assemble in they are avi files named waterfall.avi.001 etc -- one of them is missing and when i try to cat them back togehter it wont play past the missing chunk - is tehre a way (or program) to get it to ignore the chunk nad keep goin?
[05:03] <Starnestommy> zappitelli16: have you tried using ndiswrapper with a windows version of the driver?
[05:04] <bobgill> I am adding a command to run in my ~/.fluxbox/startup file, would I end it with & or && (it only runs and ends, doesn't stay running like amarok or pidgin, etc.) ???
[05:04] <vollkor1> deadlyallance543 you know this page? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FingerprintAuthentication
[05:04] <zappitelli16> no I haven't used ndiswrapper, but I was under the impression that the drivers I used would work. no?
[05:04] <zappitelli16> maybe they will work, but I have to access them through ndiswrapper??
[05:04] <astro76> bobgill: neither, the commands are not started in a shell so do not need to be backgrounded
[05:04] <nepbabu> zappitelli16, nope. ipw2200 should work out of the box
[05:05] <Paper_App> anybody can helpme about a ipod touch with AMAROCK?
[05:05] <nepbabu> !amarok | Paper_App
[05:05] <ubotu> Paper_App: Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok
[05:05] <Extravert> can anyone tell me why the flash update broke flash?
[05:05] <Jangari> because adobe is sh|t
[05:05] <zappitelli16> thats what I thought. I don't know how to tell why it isn't working I've followed all the documentation and can't come to any conclusions. I do not have a device manager under administration though, if that makes a difference.
[05:06] <simps> zappitelli16, try ndiswrapper and see how it goes
[05:06] <zappitelli16> how?
[05:06] <eventide> hey, I was wondering.  If you've got a family computer and you want a shared directory which anyone can access, is it the best practice to create a /home/shared and set privileges to 777?
[05:06] <Paper_App> yeah... but.. my ipod touch is not available (at devices list)
[05:06] <zappitelli16> apt-get install ndiswrapper?
[05:06] <Jangari> Paper_App: i can't even get my machine recognising my brother's ipod touch as a device
[05:07] <simps> zappitelli16, Synaptic Package Manager should have it
[05:07] <astro76> eventide: world writable is never a good idea, make it 775, and owned by a group which everyone belongs to
[05:07] <Administrator__> hi,there
[05:07] <zappitelli16> can I run it through synaptic package manager? Or will it work upon installation?
[05:08] <Mr__> anyone here officially with ubuntu?
[05:08] <Paper_App> i found a web link  (they saw "it is possible")
[05:08] <simps> i'm sorry, i don't understand, zappitelli16
[05:08] <simps> rephrase plz
[05:08] <eventide> astro76: okay.  But there's no standard "shared folder" by default in ubuntu right?  I have to create it myself in /home/shared
[05:08] <ab3> I have a lot op trouble with logging on my ubuntu box on both gnome as sshd. I a absolutely sure that my passwords are correct, but I just can't get logged in.  I have this same problem when I try to run synaptic, but when I run synaptic from the root prompt I can start it.
[05:08] <Paper_App> do you like it?
[05:08] <Jangari> yes thanks, Paper_App
[05:08] <zappitelli16> how do I get ndiswrapper to work? through synaptic package manager
[05:08] <ab3> could it be because I did: sudo su; passwd root
[05:09] <Paper_App> it is in spanish.... no problem??
[05:09] <Jangari> mm, my spanish ain't fabulous
[05:09] <Mr__> anyone here officially with ubuntu?
[05:09] <Jangari> but i'm a linguist, so i should be able to do something with it,
[05:09] <Jangari> gibbit me
[05:09] <Flannel> !anyone | Mr__
[05:09] <ubotu> Mr__: 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?
[05:09] <astro76> eventide: that would work
[05:09] <simps> zappitelli16, after installation, it should be under System->Administration->Windows Wireless Drivers
[05:09] <Paper_App> http://magarto.com/blog/archivo/2007/12/31/iphone-ipod-touch-ubuntu-gtkpod-amarok/
[05:10] <Jangari> ta
[05:10] <JASONCO> hi -- ive got a series of video files that im trying to re-assemble in they are avi files named waterfall.avi.001 etc -- one of them is missing and when i try to cat them back togehter it wont play past the missing chunk - is tehre a way (or program) to get it to ignore the chunk nad keep goin?
[05:10] <zappitelli16> I don't have a windows wireless drivers application under administration
[05:10] <Jangari> ooh, an animated favicon
[05:10] <simps> zappitelli16, did you install ndiswrapper from synaptic package manager?
[05:10] <Mr__> need to speak with somone from ubuntu
[05:10] <vollkor1> Hi, I got a problem when resizing my windows vista partition with gparted as found on the 7.04 live cd in order to install ubuntu:
[05:10] <vollkor1> "The ntfs partition is hibernated. Windows must be resumed and turned off properly so resizing could be done safely."
[05:10] <vollkor1> I shut windows vista down with the option "shut down", so this message is a bit confusing to me and I could not find any useful help on this with google or the forums.
[05:11] <zappitelli16> Yes synaptic package manager is showing that ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 are both installed
[05:11] <eventide> astro76:  okay.  thanks for the input
[05:11] <vollkor1> Any advise on what to try next?
[05:11] <Jangari> Mr__: ubuntu doesn't have an official support network as such, since it's all free, they can't afford to employ tech support people
[05:11] <simps> zappitelli16, you also need ndisgtk
[05:12] <Mr__> just wondering if the new name on my site will be ok
[05:12] <Mr__> they asked me to switch the other one
[05:12] <ab3> :(
[05:12] <Jangari> vollkorn: desktop pc or laptop?
[05:12] <zappitelli16> ndisgtk is not coming up installed, or not installed
[05:12] <vollkorn> Laptop Thinkpad X61
[05:13] <karlNY> Mr_  Jangari -- doesn't ubuntu sell commercial support via enterprise editions?
[05:13] <astro76> Mr__: then you should ask them via whatever venue they asked you in the first place ;)
[05:13] <Jangari> actually, you should just backup your data and delete vista
[05:13] <astro76> karlNY: no enterprise edition, they just sell support, and it's canonical
[05:13] <Jangari> vollkorn:
[05:13] <astro76> !canonical
[05:13] <ubotu> Canonical Ltd. is committed to the development, distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community. It is the driving force behind the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu Operating Systems. Canonical's website is at http://www.canonical.com/
[05:13] <zappitelli16> its not showing up under all in synaptic package manager... now what?
[05:13] <vollkorn> Jangari: unfortunately I need vista for work :(
[05:13] <Jangari> quit!
[05:14] <Jangari> only kidding,
[05:14] <Mr__> just hoping buntfu.com will be ok with them
[05:15] <Jangari> i'm not sure what to do, vollkorn, i've never used vista, but there might be an option to disable the feature that keeps it hybernating (presumably it's so it can restore fast, and waste heaps of power)
[05:15] <Berto> Hi - I have a Live Free or Die Hard DVD that wouldn't play in linux on VLC or Totem, but it DID play in Windows VLC.  Other DVDs work in Ubuntu.  What could be the issue?
[05:15] <simps> zappitelli16, is there an install cd for you wireless adapter?
[05:15] <simps> your*
[05:15] <zappitelli16> no thats the problem.
[05:15] <zelrikriando> my ffmpeg doesnt recognize xvid
[05:15] <zachalink> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[05:15] <zachalink> I keep getting that error whenever I try to install ANYTHING. Fix, plz & ty
[05:15] <zelrikriando> (when I try to convert)
[05:15] <astro76> Mr__: more likely hoping to spam the link here
[05:15] <karlNY> Can VPNC, route, and iptables be used to force one single application (jabber client) to connect through my office VPN tunnel (while keeping my main PC net-interface on my cable-modem's IP ?
[05:15] <zappitelli16> Ubuntu is stored to my hard disk can I find ndisgtk on the CD?
[05:15] <Jangari> Berto: i think you have to install the libraries to let you play proprietary dvds
[05:15] <vollkorn> Jangari: So you say vista is hibernating though it says it is shutting down?
[05:16] <zappitelli16> or can I download ndisgtk offline?
[05:16] <Berto> Jangari, which packages are those?
[05:16] <Mr__> astro76:  actually no i just don't want anymore hoopla over it
[05:16] <Jangari> well, gparted thinks it's hibernating, right? I'd trust gparted over any bill gates app any day
[05:16] <Mr__> just trying to help build something
[05:16] <Berto> Jangari, that was on my Media PC, I'm trying on my personal box right now...
[05:16] <simps> zappitelli16, with or without ndisgtk, you still need the install disk for your wireless adapter. try google to find the files
[05:16] <Mr__> don't want to step on toes
[05:16] <astro76> Mr__: ok but it's been made clear no one official is here
[05:16] <zachalink> can anyone help me on this please? I can't find anything on google.
[05:17] <Mr__> astro76: k sorry everyone didn't mean to offend
[05:17] <Berto> Jangari, same thing happens with this Die Hard DVD on my box.  I hit play, the scroll-bar comes up, and then it dies and goes back to normal VLC startup mode
[05:17] <nickrud> zachalink: run   sudo dpkg --configure -a    in a terminal
[05:17] <al213> hi
[05:17] <zemonstas_> hi, will reinstalling the mysql packages remove the databases?
[05:17] <Jangari> dunno Berto
[05:17] <zachalink> then it says something about configuring java and doesn't load it
[05:17] <nepbabu> !dvd | Berto
[05:17] <ubotu> Berto: 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
[05:17] <nickrud> zemonstas_: as long as you don't choose purge , or remove completely, no
[05:17] <Berto> thanks Jangari and nepbabu
[05:17] <zappitelli16> am I looking for files or a new CD? Sorry I'm such a beginner
[05:18] <nickrud> zemonstas_: but this sounds like a good time to back up your databases anyway
[05:18] <nepbabu> yw
[05:18] <zachalink> Setting up java-common (0.26ubuntu1) ... won't go any further for some reason..
[05:18] <zemonstas_> nickrud - I can't backup because mysql.sock is unable to be connected through
[05:18] <nepbabu> !java | zachalink
[05:18] <ubotu> zachalink: 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)
[05:18] <zemonstas_> nickrud - i'm trying to desperately restore database connectivity
[05:19] <Jangari> zemonstas_: is your database local or on a remote server?
[05:19] <zemonstas_> jangari - remote
[05:19] <simps> zappitelli16, try for "install files for <insert name of adapter here>"
[05:19] <zachalink> but it gives me the error when I try to install anything, anywhere
[05:19] <zachalink> not just terminal
[05:19] <nickrud> zemonstas_: you've stopped and started mysql? (just a quicky, I'm not particularly familiar with mysql, just used it lightly)
[05:19] <Jangari> can you login via ftp and nav to the database? or is it embedded deeper than you can access?
[05:19] <zemonstas_> nickrud - stopping and starting mysql fails
[05:19] <cyborg> hi
[05:20] <zappitelli16> Am I looking for drivers? because I just installed those
[05:20] <zemonstas_> jangari - i'm logged in and using the SSH so i have command line
[05:20] <nickrud> zachalink: you need to use my nick in the messages when you reply, so I don't miss them. Did you run the  command I gave you?
[05:20] <zachalink> yes, and I said it was stuck there and wouldn't load any further
[05:20] <vollkorn> jangari: Well, I thought the problem could be something like the version found on the 7.04 cd is not aware of changes introduced by vista ad I'll just try the new version found on the 7.10 cd.
[05:20] <Jangari> can you find it via ssh?
[05:20] <simps> zappitelli16, so you just need to set up the drivers?
[05:20] <zemonstas_> Jangari - can i find what?
[05:20] <zappitelli16> maybe?
[05:20] <nepbabu> O_o
[05:21] <Jangari> the actual db, or is it somewhere ytou can't access?
[05:21] <zachalink> nickrud: yes, and I said it was stuck there and wouldn't load any further. (sorry, forgot)
[05:21] <nickrud> zachalink: didn't see it, it got lost in the chatter. Use my nick, it's red on my screen.   run    sudo apt-get -f install   in a terminal, and paste the complete output
[05:21] <zappitelli16> how do I set up the drivers?
[05:21] <nickrud> zachalink: not here!!!!!!
[05:21] <nickrud> zachalink: paste the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:21] <simps> zappitelli16, in terminal, sudo lshw -C network
[05:22] <Roy> I have ndiswrapper. Could someone please tell me how to install the wireless drivers after that?
[05:22] <zappitelli16> now what?
[05:22] <nepbabu> !ndiswrapper | Roy
[05:22] <ubotu> Roy: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:22] <simps> zappitelli16, is the driver there?
[05:23] <zachalink> nickrud: thank you so much! ^_^

[05:23] <Extravert> zomg
[05:23] <Extravert> the update removed flash ...
[05:23] <Aloha> the Dell Inspiron Laptop 1420 N says it has Ubuntu 7.10 but doesn't say it has DVD playback like the other ones do, does this mean it can't play dvds?

[05:24] <zcat[1]> Aloha: try.. if it can't see !medibuntu to add it (assuming it has a dvd drive..)
[05:24] <lakcaj> Aloha, it just means that they don't provide a "licensed" dvd app.  You can easily install vlc/mplayer/xine/ogle or others to play dvds
[05:25] <zappitelli16> simps, this is what came up, I can't tell if the driver is there or not
[05:25] <zappitelli16> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55057/plain/

[05:38] <ArrPirate> ok I have a problem where my monitor is causing conflicts with Ubuntu. GDM detects the wrong resolution and then the right resolution but the text is set for the wrong resolution. A forum post tells me that I can fix this by running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and removing all the resolutions but the right one, and I've tried that several times now but my settings don't seem to be saved. What can I do?

[05:41] <dogpigeoncow> i have jackd installed but when i open Rosegarden it tells me i need to run the JACK server
[05:41] <spk> can I get it to log to a file?
[05:41] <dogpigeoncow> wats wrong?
[05:41] <nickrud> spk: you might try looking in /var/log/syslog , there might be some clues there.
[05:41] <spk> nope, tried
[05:41] <karlNY> What tools do I use to make it so only one application (or port) is connected via tun0, and all others go through a normal eth0 public connection?
[05:42] <mannyz> someone please anwser me :S?
[05:43] <phaedra> spk, Have you looked at dmesg?
[05:43] <dogpigeoncow> i have jackd installed but when i open Rosegarden it tells me i need to run the JACK server. how do i run it?
[05:44] <nickrud> dogpigeoncow: the sound system in linux is still kinda crappy. Since you're obviously new to linux (which gets less and less daily ;) you might want to wait for the next release. The sound system is supposed to be revamped. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/cleanup-audio-jumble has some hope.
[05:44] <wassa> hi.. I am trying to edit an alias file in /etc folder but told I can't as I am not owner... but I am the only user??
[05:44] <spk> nothing there
[05:44] <karlNY> is my question clear? I am asking about legitimate automation of VPN access, which I have already.  I just want to use iptables/etc so that etho doesn't turn into tun0... that way I can keep my 30 apps open the same, just open up jabber (and run a ??script?? to vpn/proxy the jabber?)... and only jabber goes through the VPN/private IP/net.

[05:46] <xenthro> hey guys, i have a dir with 1500 hi-res images and I want to batch convert them all to 1024x768, what is the most efficient way of doing this (I love command line tools)
[05:46] <zappitelli16> can anyone help me configure the WPA supplicant for Gutsy?
[05:47] <spk> xentrho: use convert from imagemagick and create a bash script
[05:47] <sluggo> spk: have you configured it to start in the default runlevel?
[05:47] <xenthro> spk bash script?
[05:47] <cvd> where is the sorucelist?
[05:47] <cyborg> thx the help nicrkud. evrithing works fine
[05:47] <spk> xenthro: are you confortable with the command line?
[05:48] <spk> sluggo: not sure
[05:48] <wassa> soldats... do i need to install sudo through package installer
[05:48] <nickrud> cvd: /etc/apt/sources.list , or  system->admin->software sources
[05:48] <spk> I set it to defaults
[05:48] <sluggo> spk: update-rc.d hamachi defaults
[05:48] <xenthro> spk, getting there
[05:48] <spk> sluggo: yeah, I did that
[05:48] <cyborg> etc/apt cvd
[05:49] <spk> like I said, it works, just not on startup but I cant see the message
[05:49] <spk> arrg
[05:49] <karlNY> do all internet applications (jabber, aim) have to use ports off the same outbound gateway, or can I create tun0 to handle aim/jabber, while leaving firefox/gmail open using eth0?
[05:50] <spk> xenthro: convert is a command line program to do ONE image, and a bash script is a way to automate many commands, hence many images
[05:50] <soldats> wassa: no just add "sudo" to the start of the command you want to run
[05:50] <karlNY> couldn't iptables and route create a direct path for some apps based on port#, while leaving open web-browser/gmail running on eth0 through main gateway?

[05:53] <xenthro> spk thanks for the tip. ill research it
[05:54] <soldats> wassa: well edit the line like "sudo edit /etc/../alias"

[05:55] <karlNY> BTW -- if my vpn/route question is invalid here (despite I'm  trying to do it w/Xubuntu and kvpnc)- is there a better #channel?
[05:55] <Tall> I had a quick question, I installed Tiny Fugue in Ubuntu, but whenever I click to load it.. it does nothing.
[05:55] <karlNY> What tools do I use to make it so only one application (or port) is connected via tun0, and all others go through a normal eth0 public connection?
[05:56] <tehdave> I lost sound on my comp, and can't restart alsa (tried /etc/init.d/alsasound start//restart). It's not in the GUI services window, and I don't see it in the startup services under sessions... how can I restart alsa without rebooting? -_-

[05:57] <zappitelli16> Can anyone help me configure WPA supplicant? I'm confused.. and a newbie.
[05:57] <karlNY> soldats - right right. now if only I can figure out how to force "vpnc" to tunnel using a certain interface or port...
[05:58] <soldats> karlNY: whats vpnc
[05:58] <phaedra> zappitelli16,  Try this  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[05:58] <karlNY> soldats: its like command-line kvpnc
[05:58] <wassa> soldats.. i don't understand what you mean.. I launched terminal window and enter the following sudo edit /etc/modprobe.d
[05:58] <karlNY> soldats: it's a VPN client for Ubuntu/Debian etc
[05:59] <karlNY> soldats: it connects to Cisco-based VPN nets.
[05:59] <Jangari> works well, too
[05:59] <Jangari> once you have it set up
[05:59] <karlNY> actually re-re-reading the manpage, it looks like there is something called vpnc-scipts
[05:59] <karlNY> that can set an additional route and leave existing gateway alone.... perhaps that's it!!??
[06:00] <Audio_1> is anybody around?
[06:00] <soldats> karlNY: i bet if there is a config for it youshoud be able to connect it to whatever port youwant
[06:00]  * karlNY checks again
[06:00] <zappitelli16> phaedra I'm confused what this means : Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to include your network. The info to include can be generated with wpa_passphrase  (although this is optional, it saves the supplicant having to generate the preshared key (PSK) each time it is started):
[06:00] <musikgoat> Audio_1: nope, 1134 people arent around

[06:03] <phaedra> zappitelli16,  If you already have a network setup you don't need to do that.  It just generates an ssid and key for wpa/wpa2...
[06:03] <wassa> this doesn't work.. I am entering sudo edit /etc/modprobe./aliases... then i get an error saying no mime type..  how do i figure out the type of file.. grrrr

[06:06] <imforgetfull> i did that it doesn't work
[06:06] <tehdave> can you install a package to the live CD? o.O
[06:06] <soldats> imforgetfull: open your browser and in the address bad do "about:plugins"
[06:06] <WGGMk> imforgetfull: prolly because the live cd doesnt have the universe or multiverse repository enabled..
[06:07] <imforgetfull> yeah i need that
[06:07] <imforgetfull> i just did that code it said "couldn't find package'

[06:08] <sky_> is it advisable to uninstall firefox and autoremove and then install it again via synaptic?
[06:09] <tehdave> sooooooo...alsa restart command? -_-
[06:09] <WGGMk> sky_: there are most likely dependencies attached to firefox with gnome
[06:09] <Veetus> can anyone help me with azureus? :\
[06:10] <sky_> WGGMk: what if I install the ubufox extension along with firefox?
[06:10] <tomd> I only want to remove alsa-base linux-sound-base and alsa-utils, when I try to remove them apt-get says: The following packages will be REMOVED: alsa-base alsa-utils fast-user-switch-applet gdm gdm-themes gnome gnome-desktop-environment linux-sound-base ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal
[06:10] <WGGMk> sky_: im not very familiar with the firefox packages, you would be better off asking another person
[06:10] <sky_> oh ok
[06:10] <sky_> I'm just sick of flash breaking...
[06:10] <tomd> this is advice from the troubleshooting sound problems doc.
[06:11] <tomd> my sound works, but it is using OSS and alsa is configured
[06:11] <tomd> it just defaults to alsa's OSS emulation or something
[06:11] <WGGMk> sky_: you dont need to remove firefox to remove flash
[06:11] <sky_> http://www.walfas.org/flash/yousei.swf <--- this worked fine before adobe started that flash issue, and now it loads, and plays for like the first 5 seconds for me before blanking out...
[06:11] <spk> ok, found it.  it seems that the hamachi boot script I added is running before the dhcp has given the machine an IP address, hence failing.  How do I control the service startup order?
[06:11] <sky_> WGGMk: I've removed flash time and time again
[06:11] <soldats> tehdave: hmmm maybe "sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound stop" then start
[06:12] <sky_> with and without the restricted extras set...
[06:12] <WGGMk> sky_: what method are you using to isntall it?
[06:12] <tomd> when I use firefox and play something with the flash plugin, I then can't play any files with another app until I close the tab that has the flash plugin opened, or kill firefox... happens with other programs too.
[06:12] <JohnMM> spk, service order is controlled in /etc/rcx.d
[06:12] <sky_> synaptic
[06:12] <wassa> i really don't get this.. I used sudo edit /etc/modprobe.d ... shouldn't this allow me to then open a file in that directory and edit it?
[06:12] <JohnMM> where x represents the init level
[06:12] <tomd> They hold on the the device, /dev/C0D0p
[06:12] <tomd> and it blocks my sound.
[06:12] <WGGMk> sky_: on the forums there is a post about flash using ndiswrapper.. you might have more success with that
[06:12] <tomd> anyone know why?
[06:12] <wassa> but each time i try and save the file i am told i don't have permission still
[06:12] <tehdave> soldats: "Command not found"
[06:12] <soldats> wassa: try "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/**"  where ** is the file
[06:12] <sky_> mind linking me to it?(I don't even know what ndiswrapper is, but I understand that synaptic installs it whenever I try installing flash)
[06:13] <karlNY> soldats: I found kvpnc has a GUI to configure extra routs, NAT, and all sorts of custom transport options -- I need to go RTFM and find out what route or port binding I can force my client to do -- Im much closer to figuring it out.
[06:13] <bluefoxx> okay, so i finally dug out my neverwinter nights disks but my disk NWNG D3 a corrupt file in the archive[/data/voicesets.bif], anyone else have the game willing to share the zip file from disk three?or is there a torrent i can get it from?
[06:13] <sky_> (of course, I autoremove after ear flash uninstall
[06:13] <WGGMk> wassa: use sudo gedit
[06:13] <spk> so, what would this do: sudo update-rc.d hamachi defaults
[06:13] <karlNY> soldats: thanks for your help / sounding board
[06:13] <tehdave> !offtopic bluefoxx

I have a mythtv frontend hooked up to my tv (really old tv) when I VNC to the box while it's running 1024x768 it works fine, however when I have it in 800x600 the session is visually garbled to the point where I can't see anything, mouse and kb still work and on the TV there's no problem at all. Anyone got some advice?

[06:22] <mib_hoimx7d7> i was deleting a partition
[06:22] <mib_hoimx7d7> using live cd
[06:22] <theacolyte> Anyone with the NVIDIA 780i chipset?
[06:22] <mib_hoimx7d7> then when i go to boot ubuntu
[06:22] <mib_hoimx7d7> no dice
[06:22] <cvd> soldats  i say the qicktime videos in http://www.apple.com/getamac/
[06:22] <tomd> mib_hoimx7d7: that's always risky business
[06:22] <sky_> okay, I reinstalled firefox.
[06:22] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> you deleted an important partition, which partition was that?
[06:22] <tomd> mib_hoimx7d7: did you back up the partition table?
[06:23] <mib_hoimx7d7> it was a windows partition
[06:23] <sky_> So guys, how should I go about installing flash again?
[06:23] <sky_> via firefox?
[06:23] <mib_hoimx7d7> yes i have the backed up partition
[06:23] <mib_hoimx7d7> table
[06:23] <soldats> cvd: is quicktime installed if so do "about:plugins" in the browser address bar and check. if not restart your browser and see if it helps
[06:23] <tomd> mib_hoimx7d7: you can probably re-write the table and have your partitions back proper.
[06:23] <mib_hoimx7d7> i can view the partition using a live cd
[06:23] <sluggo> spk: did you get your hamachi working?
[06:23] <mib_hoimx7d7> so thats not the problem
[06:23] <mib_hoimx7d7> all the data is there
[06:23] <tomd> mib_hoimx7d7: why can't you see what from ubuntu
[06:23] <mib_hoimx7d7> it just doesnt boot
[06:24] <tomd> oh.
[06:24] <soldats> sky_: go to the adobe page and install  the tar.gz and follow the directions on install methods
[06:24] <tomd> mib_hoimx7d7: probably because device numbers changed
[06:24] <spk> sluggo: yes and no.  it is running before I have an IP at bootup, so thats why its failing
[06:24] <cvd> i have everything, codecs, moz plugz, players,  but nothing happen
[06:24] <spk> I'm trying to figure out how to make it run later during bottup
[06:24] <tomd> mib_hoimx7d7: re-examine your partitioning scheme... you're logical partition numbers changed and now you have to reconfigure grub or edit fstab or something rather.
[06:24] <WGGMk> spk: hamachi doesnt need you to have an IP to get its own IP
[06:24] <spk> sluggo:  true, but I'm asking it to login as well
[06:25] <spk> and go online
[06:25] <sluggo> spk: try  this update-rc.d -f hamachi remove
[06:25] <tomd> mib_hoimx7d7: i.e. if you removed /dev/hda6 /dev/hda7 may become the new /dev/hda6
[06:25] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: I like tomd's re-configure grub idea -- as long as you're backing everything up like you said you were.
[06:25] <sluggo> spk: thenn update-rc.d hamachi start 99 2 3 4 5 . stop 99 0 1 6  this will make start later in boot process
[06:25] <WGGMk> spk: not to barge in, but make a script and put it into rc.local, that should work
[06:25] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> when you are in liveCD you can mount these partitions okay?
[06:25] <spk> sluggo:  thats what I'm trying, but what does that line say? :)
[06:26] <mib_hoimx7d7> yes
[06:26] <annoid> ok then...
[06:26] <ethan961> mib_hoimix7d7, did you remove the partition manually as in fdisk or did you use something like prarted?
[06:26] <mib_hoimx7d7> gparted
[06:26] <annoid> so I've installed Flash successfully.. I already did the repository thing
[06:26] <mib_hoimx7d7> off of the live cd
[06:26] <spk> WGGMk: thanks, will use that as a last resort
[06:26] <annoid> i want to install flash
[06:26] <annoid> I'm running the LIve Cd
[06:26] <amenado> !who  | mib_hoimx7d7
[06:26] <ubotu> mib_hoimx7d7: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[06:26] <ethan961> yes, sorry, typing on iphone
[06:26] <sluggo> spk: it does the same as running update-rc.d hamachi defaults, but sets it to ran last in the boot order
[06:26] <annoid> I've done this before but I can't get the correct codes this time, it's not working

[06:28] <WGGMk> can someone say my name in chat to test a sound issue

[06:28] <annoid> anyone...?
[06:28] <amenado> !who  | mib_hoimx7d7
[06:28] <ubotu> mib_hoimx7d7: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[06:28] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: is this a dual boot system?
[06:28] <cvd> hey alsa or pulse?
[06:28] <ethan961> mib_homix7d7, are all your initrd etc. still there?
[06:28] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY it was
[06:29] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: ok
[06:29] <mib_hoimx7d7> ethan961: i think so
[06:29] <mib_hoimx7d7> recovery console gets partially through booting and hangs at stuff involving my CD drive
[06:29] <voidmage> is there any way to do a desktop wallpaper slideshow in ubuntu, as in have it rotate between different wallpapers in a folder?

[06:29] <timandtom> I really need to write down how to do this so I don't come back and ask a third time... But... How do I go edit what networks my computer is allowed to connect to? I need to stop it from automatically connecting to my neighbors.
[06:30] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: did you backup your windoze data too, or just partition table?
[06:30] <astro76> timandtom: perhaps you should set your irc client to logging this time ;)
[06:30] <voidmage> timandtom: when you connect to a network manually, network manager marks it as "preferred", meaning it will connect to those first
[06:30] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado i have to boot the live cd first
[06:30] <timandtom> astro76: Actually I think it does xP I need to find the logs sometime...
[06:30] <karlNY> voidimage   apt-cache show chbg
[06:30] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> are you not on liveCD now?

[06:31] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: in the same room as my computer
[06:31] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: did you backup your windoze data too, or just the old partition table?
[06:31] <voidmage> timandtom: i forget how to unset networks, it uses gconftool though
[06:31] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY: i backed up everything important
[06:31] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: Sweet!
[06:32] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: then check out "grub-install"
[06:32] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> find out which partition your menu.lst is and vmlinuz and initrd
[06:32] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY i already reinstalled grub
[06:32] <astro76> timandtom: this is also handy http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[06:32] <pocketdrummer> Hey, does anyone know a way to force a mouse to use 500/s sample rate?
[06:32] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY using root
[06:32] <timandtom> voidmage: Ok, thanks. Uh, is that something that's already installed on 7.10? I'm kinda new to linux, so I really have no idea about anything
[06:32] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY roo(hd0,2)
[06:33] <voidmage> timandtom: it's a command line tool, but i don't remember how to use it
[06:33] <ethan961> mib_hoimx7d7, is your ubuntu partition(s) backed up as well,
[06:33] <timandtom> astro76: ooooh, thanks :D

[06:33] <timandtom> voidmage: Ah, k, I'll google it, thanks
[06:33] <mib_hoimx7d7> well the live cd is booted
[06:33] <mib_hoimx7d7> what did you want me to look at?
[06:34] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> find out which partition your menu.lst is and vmlinuz and initrd
[06:34] <Administrator_> find -name vmlinuz /
[06:34] <kuldipz> drupal
[06:34] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: sounds like your /boot/grub/menu.lst may not be pointing to the right device -- like someone said earlier maybe.
[06:34] <voidmage> karlNY: wallpaper-tray works nice too
[06:34] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado my ubuntu partition
[06:35] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> be specific, /dev/sda13 ?
[06:35] <karlNY> voidmage: thanks
[06:35] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY if it wasnt how come i can boot a little using the recovery selectino in grub?
[06:35] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: voodoo gnomes.

[06:36] <xopher> is there a way to speed up extraction of rar-archives? It seems to take ages. And using winrar via wine isn't an option...
[06:36] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> if you refuse to have my nick, i will not respond to you anymore
[06:36] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado
[06:37] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado what do you mean?
[06:37] <karlNY> xopher: besides adding ram, there's a tool called xarchiver
[06:37] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> be specific, /dev/sda13 ?
[06:37] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: is on /dev/sda3
[06:37] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: and marked as bootable according to fdisk
[06:37] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> okay now mount that while you are on liveCD
[06:38] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> ie mount  /dev/sda3 to let say /mnt
[06:38] <WGGMk> Can someone please help me with a sound issue. ALSA seems to hang up after playing anything once!
[06:38] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: it says it cant find /dev/sda3in fstab

[06:40] <pocketdrummer> Is there a way to force the sample rate of my mouse to stay at 500?
[06:40] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: im sorry im just trying to type fast
[06:40] <bacony> how do i force readahead to start early in my boot process?
[06:40] <xopher> karlNY, Im gonna check it out, it should be faster than unrar/rar ?
[06:41] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: so can you please tell me what to do next?
[06:41] <karlNY> xopher: not sure - just know it works ok for me when I have to unrar once in a blue moon
[06:41] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> okay, ls -la   /mnt/boot  and do you see your vmlinuz and initrd image?
[06:41] <xopher> aah, it's just a frontend?
[06:41] <timandtom> astro76: Ah, thanks again :D Found what I was looking for in the logs. voidmage: Ok, found it, its "gconf-editor" in terminal, that opens the GUI, then its in /system/networking/wireless/networks
[06:42] <joeerror> Hoping I've waited long enough to reask :)... When I VNC to my mythfrontend box while it's at a res of 800x600 it's visually garbled, still responds to keyboard and mouse input, at any other resolution it works 100% fine, I'd like it to be fine at 800x600 though, any takers?
[06:42] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: i see vmlinuz only
[06:42] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> without your initrd image there you'll not be able to boot
[06:42] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: under boot/
[06:43] <ambar> cannot connect to yahoo/msn/gtalk using pidgin.somene please help
[06:43] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> yes
[06:43] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> unless you specified different location in your menu.lst
[06:43] <soldats> joeerror: it might have somethig to do with the VNC connection color depth try turning the color depth to the lowest setting ie. 14bit
[06:43] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: under /boot/ i have a initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic.bak
[06:43] <musikgoat> ambar: can you get on the internet?
[06:43] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: would that work
[06:43] <musikgoat> with a web browser?
[06:44] <ambar> yes
[06:44] <timandtom> ambar: Try going into where you set up how it connects, and start messing with the settings. Try default setup, no proxy, GNOME proxy, etc.
[06:44] <WGGMk> <--- IS BEGGING... My sound stops working or hangs after playing 1 song or using the "Test" button in the Sounds Preferences. Can anyone help???
[06:44] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> that would not work, lest you specify to use that **.bak in your menu.lst
[06:44] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7:  does it say unknown block (0.0) ?
[06:44] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: at the kernel panic error?
[06:44] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY yes
[06:44] <ambar> okay.let me try it again.it used to work fine and i didnt change any settings too
[06:44] <joeerror> soldats: thanks, but that's a no go
[06:45] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY or some other num in the ()
[06:45] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: got any ideas on how to fix it?
[06:45] <timandtom> karlNY: Completely off topic, but Panic! At the kernel should TOTALLY be a band name.
[06:45] <joeerror> soldats: it ends up looking like say when you have the frequency settings too high, but the display attached to the machine looks fine
[06:45] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> are you understanding me?  about what you put in menu.lst and where they are located ?
[06:46] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado so put the .bak in the menu.lst file
[06:46] <mib_hoimx7d7> ?
[06:46] <Toaster`> !flash

[06:46] <soldats> joeerror: thats strange. i used vnc way back and i had the same prob but i lowered the color depth and it worked. i have no clue.    :(
[06:47] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> which kernel you boot to depends on wat you specify on your menu.lst
[06:47] <jay-oh-en> how do i get a transfer to go faster in kopete
[06:48] <joeerror> soldats: maybe I should just repriotize and put getting lirc to work back on top and skip out on vnc :)
[06:48] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> meaning if you dont specify the correct one, you'll not be able to boot
[06:48] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: im aware of that. one thing when i visually look at my /boot/ i see 2 differnet kernel versions of initrd.img that dont show up in terminal
[06:48] <Administrator_> i do not knoe
[06:48] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> since you are aware of that, then make sure your menu.lst matches what it sees in /boot/
[06:48] <amenado> or expects to see
[06:49] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: ok
[06:49] <Joshu> csáó
[06:49] <soldats> joeerror: probly. :P
[06:49] <soldats> id  do it
[06:49] <Joshu> vki tudna nekem segíteni, h a hangkártya néha meghal, és nem szól, mit tok vele csin?
[06:49] <amenado> Joshu-> likewise :)
[06:49] <astro76> !hu | Joshu
[06:49] <ubotu> Joshu: Magyar nyelvű segítséget az #ubuntu-hu csatornán talál
[06:51] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: it is in my menu.lst but it still gets the kernel panic vfs error
[06:51] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> is it the correct bootable kind?
[06:52] <ambar> i have selected No Proxy and tried connecting to yahoo. now the Pidgin is starts and getting closed within seconds!
[06:52] <cvd> any diference between sudo and gksudo?
[06:52] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: did you look through your /boot/grub/menu.lst, looking for "root"  drive entries? ie- are you sure those entries are correct, be it hd(0,0)  or 0,1  or 1,0  etc?
[06:52] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: it is the entry i just made
[06:52] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> you may have a vmlinuz or initrd image in /boot but if they are the wrong kind unbootable ones, will not work
[06:52] <astro76> !gksu | cvd
[06:52] <ubotu> cvd: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[06:52] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: how do i know?
[06:52] <soldats> cvd: same thing but gksudo allows gui apps to be run as root
[06:53] <cvd> o ok
[06:53] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY it is the correct partition hd0,2
[06:53] <WGGMk> testing WGGMk
[06:53] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY: for sda2
[06:53] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: OK thanks.  Curious -- how many hard-drives you got in the case? assuming it's only one, right? what kind, scsi/sata/ide/etc?
[06:53] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: nvm - got it
[06:53] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> how did those multiple vmlinuz and inritrd.*.img .bak  get there?
[06:53] <WGGMk> hate to be a bother but can someone say my name in chat 1
[06:53] <soldats> WGGMk: ?
[06:53] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: i dont know
[06:54] <WGGMk> soldats: 1 more time plz
[06:54] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: maybe when i reinstalled grub?
[06:54] <astro76> WGGMk: #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place for further testing
[06:54] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> and thats the key, if you have the wrong kernel in there that is possibly not bootable, you get those panics
[06:54] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: I have a similar dual boot  setup I think... in that my partition for grub and /boot is /dev/sda2
[06:54] <WGGMk> astro76: thnx & thnx soldats
[06:55] <ambar> what proxy should i select in order to get connected to yahoo server with Pidgin?

[07:02] <jc> ambar, are you getting an error message? I'm connected to all three right now without trouble
[07:03] <kavik> why... helo..
[07:03] <kavik> hello*
[07:03] <ambar> it just say's " Failed to connect to server"
[07:03] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> do you see the stage1.5 in your /mnt/boot/grub?
[07:04] <kavik> is the live CD of Ubuntu supposed to be ridiculously slow?
[07:04] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: i see jfs_stage1_5  and reiserfs_stage1_5
[07:04] <xnu> ubuntu is slow
[07:04] <bluefoxx> kavik, only if u dont have a decent system
[07:04] <fragged[away]> kavik, as far as seek times, yes, because its searching on CD and its roughly 10mb/s wheras hdd is 60mb/s with ALOT faster seek times
[07:04] <ambar> jc, can you tell me the proxy settings that you are using?
[07:05] <mib_hoimx7d7> kavik how much ram do you have?
[07:05] <bluefoxx> kavik, eg: less than 256/512 mb ram and a old cpu[under 2 ghz]
[07:05] <fragged[away]> xnu, wrong, ubuntu and any other linux distro is slow if your too stupid to configure your system appropriately and correctly
[07:05] <dobblego> you're is the contractive form of you are
[07:05] <g4dist_p4r4hy4ng> rrtew
[07:05] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> how about  e2fs_stage1_5 and stage1 and stage2
[07:05] <kavik> well... (256MB of RAM) i'm trying to install ubuntu on the harddrive but it's going slower than windows vista with 64MB of RAM..
[07:05] <jc> ambar, I'm not using a proxy
[07:05] <xnu> p3 500mhz and 128mb ram
[07:05] <mib_hoimx7d7> try the alt text install cd
[07:05] <fragged[away]> bluefox83, reguardless, my dualcore laptop w/ 1gb of ram is slow under live CD's, I should find the parameter to pass complete system to ram :D
[07:06] <kavik> the mouse will be free, but everything else is frozen.
[07:06] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: all those are there
[07:06] <fragged[away]> kavik, try using the alternate boot cd, I used that, but still likes to hang on certain sections which esc fixed
[07:06] <kavik> i can't
[07:06] <jc> ambar, have you tried to restart pidgin?
[07:07] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: were you going to apt-get install pastebinit and paste us some output?
[07:07] <kavik> i ordered both CD's but one when i got it, was already cracked...
[07:07] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: i dont think its a problem with grub
[07:07] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> get into grub and point your root to hd0,2   hd0,2 is where your /boot is right? ie hda3?
[07:07] <fragged[away]> kavik, you can download them also
[07:07] <ambar> jc, thanks ! i got connected to MSN !!! :D
[07:07] <bluefoxx> fragged[away], my main: celeron D@2.93 oced to 3.75ghz[tested stable] and 1.5 gigs of ram[used to be 256, then 768 now 1.5 gig]
[07:07] <Hemebond> Argh! Zero Punctuation just published his COD4 review and Ubuntu updates have destroyed my Flash.
[07:07] <kavik> but this computer can't burn .iso
[07:07] <Hemebond> Someone will PAY FOR THIS!
[07:07] <FBERN> bluefoxx can i msg u
[07:07] <kavik> hemebond, pay for what
[07:08] <xnu> flash is useless anyway
[07:08] <dobblego> is it possible for a user to be in a group and not be in a group at the same time? http://rafb.net/p/wcYwdo35.html
[07:08] <Hemebond> For breaking me Flash.
[07:08] <ambar> jc, for yahoo also you are using No Proxy ?
[07:08] <fragged[away]> bluefoxx, I was referring to the fact that live cd's are slow reguardless
[07:08] <xnu> and cod sucks
[07:08] <jc> ambar, yes
[07:08] <Hemebond> xnu, yes cod sucks.
[07:08] <Hemebond> I want to watch the review.
[07:08] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado:  in grub via terminal i can type root (hd0,   then tab and it shows my ext3 linux and #2
[07:08] <bluefoxx> fragged[away], my "new"box consists of parts made from discards from school
[07:08] <kavik> fragged[away] so live CD's are slow nonetheless?
[07:08] <xnu> just ubuntu
[07:09] <xnu> lol
[07:09] <kavik> fragged[away] how should i connect the harddrive to install ubuntu on it? i had it on slave....
[07:09] <fragged[away]> kavik, yes, unless you pass the entire disc to RAM they are relatively slow... like if you leave your system idle, even opening a menu can take 2-3 seconds while CD spins up
[07:09] <bluefoxx> kavik, generaly, depending on your parts, if you have a good cddive, then not so slow, but still slower than a desktop install
[07:09] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: the actual partitino is sda3 so that makes sense
[07:09] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> go and do it, assuming your /boot/initrd and /boot/vmlinuz are good ones
[07:10] <kavik> bluefoxx should i connect my harddrive that i wish to install ubuntu onto, in slave mode? or master?
[07:10] <fragged[away]> bluefoxx, ALL CD drives are slow... afaik CDs run at ~9mb/s, hard drives run at ~60+mb/s
[07:10] <ambar> jc, i selected No Proxy for yahoo too, it said it was connecting but suddenly after 1 or 2 seconds the program automatically closed!
[07:10] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: so im rebooting
[07:10] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> good luck
[07:10] <bluefoxx> kavik, i dont notice it as much but thats as i ran off a live cd for 4 months while i saved and scrounged for a new hdd after my 5th WD blew out
[07:10] <fragged[away]> kavik, it shouldnt matter so long as it boots from BIOS,
[07:10] <xnu> in slave if its the slave
[07:10] <jc> ambar, what port was yahoo using?
[07:10] <bluefoxx> kavik, try cable select
[07:10] <kavik> bluefoxx what's cable select?
[07:11] <WGGMk> Ok, so I narrowed my problem down to ALSA. OSS seems to work fine, as long as im only using it 1 application of course. But when using ALSA, after 1 thing that requires sound (IE: 1 full song, 1 message on pidgin, 1 error dialog box) it just doesnt work after that. I have also tried opening sound preferences and using the "Test" button, which will work, but after hitting OK on the small dialog box, and trying to Test it again (even the same one) it will NOT wor
[07:11] <xnu> grub will boot from a slave drive
[07:11] <fragged[away]> WGGMk, look at JACK or various other alternatives
[07:11] <amenado> bluefoxx-> my achilles are the ibm deathstarts, i must have six of those busted on me
[07:11] <ambar> jc, Pager Port: 5050 and File Transfer Port: 80
[07:11] <xnu> well grub will boot anything if you know what you are doing
[07:11] <bluefoxx> kavik, the default setting harddrivees come in, usually the best choice if your not that farmilliar with hardwarez[but its what i specialize in]
[07:11] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: so it loaded past grub and to the part where its loading hardware
[07:11] <jc> ambar, ok thats the same as mine
[07:12] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: and it stopped at Uniform CD-ROM driver revision 3.2
[07:12] <kavik> bluefoxx ok cool.. think you can help me with a quick windows issue?
[07:12] <fragged[away]> bluefoxx, even if you know what your doing, IDE is a prick.... cable select wont work on some older mobos, LBA, master/slave just sucks, blah blah blah
[07:12] <WGGMk> fragged[away]: I would prefer to stick with ALSA, seeming as this was NOT an issue with Feisty
[07:12] <amenado> kavik  haha windows?
[07:12] <bluefoxx> amenado, hehe, i found a seagate 320 meg hdd that still works[not good for much, my broken mp3 player is better than it but...]
[07:12] <fragged[away]> WGGMk, JACK etc use alsa
[07:12] <bluefoxx> fragged[away], yes, ide sucks, sexy FTW
[07:12] <horizxon> how do I find out what version of glibc I have?
[07:12] <ambar> jc, hmmm....whats the Encoding ?
[07:12] <kavik> amenado yeah, my friend prefers windows...
[07:13] <bluefoxx> kavik, try # windows or PM me, i knwo windows but not as well
[07:13] <xnu> windows rules
[07:13] <kavik> bluefoxx ok
[07:13] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: any ideas on why the bootup hangs?
[07:13] <jc> ambar: ISO-8859-1
[07:13] <bluefoxx> fragged[away], and by "sexy" i mean skuzzy, scsi, w/e u wanna call it
[07:13] <xnu> everyone knows ubuntu runs under windows
[07:13] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> so its stuck there forever? you may have a bad initrd or kernel
[07:14] <fragged[away]> bluefoxx, I prefer sata, so much more hawtness :D
[07:14] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado it gets to loading the hard drive then the cr drive then stops
[07:14] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> maybe remove the cdrom? see if it overcomes it
[07:14] <ambar> jc, same here! Yahoo Japan is unchecked, Page server: scs.msg.yahoo.com, Japan Page Server: cs.yahoo.co.jp
[07:15] <bluefoxx> fragged[away], lol, guy sold me a bad sound card that ate my sata somehow...fried my cabel XD, got a free wifi card off of him though, and it works flawlessly in linux =D
[07:15] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado now it says check root = bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules. devices cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT does not exist dropping to shell
[07:15] <horizxon> sorry i found out, its ls -al /lib/libc*
[07:15] <jc> ambar, yep thats exactly what I've got - and you still can't connect
[07:15] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep root  <----- do the entries just above the /vmlinuz lines say hd(0.2) in that output?
[07:16]  * fragged[away] is *patiently* waiting for a new damn PCI SATA controller from ebay store, damn current file server SATA card doesnt like LBA :(
[07:16] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> thats beyond me now, i believe you have a bad initrd file
[07:16] <jc> ambar, try changing the proxy back to either GNOME or environment
[07:16] <xnu> chinchilla
[07:16] <bluefoxx> a stroke of luck thats lasted the past few weeks, first that then a second comp[laptop] and a third, then free parts from school, now my grandfather and i got a new apartment all lined up =D[the tides have turned, maybe next my dad will start to talk to me and we'll actually get alongXD, not]
[07:17] <xnu> yay
[07:17]  * bluefoxx needs media for 'new' tape backup drive...wonder if any stores still sell it...
[07:17] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep root  <----- do the entries just above the /vmlinuz lines say hd(0.2) in that output?
[07:18] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY im not in the live cd rifght now
[07:18] <g-know> i am having error15: cannot find file
[07:18] <BetaTest> I was told that I can install new themes if I go under System>Preferences>Themes, but I don't have a Themes category there
[07:18] <WGGMk> fragged[away]: I fail to see how JACK can be an alternative to ALSA if JACK uses ALSA as their default i/o driver???
[07:18] <g-know> :(
[07:18] <HorizonXP> !ubotu test
[07:18] <ubotu> Failed.
[07:18] <HorizonXP> hahaha
[07:18] <bluefoxx> lol, im running about 7 different programs at the same time and i havent touched the mouse in the past hour
[07:19] <xnu> lol
[07:19] <xnu> themes
[07:19] <xnu> mouse
[07:19] <mib_hoimx7d7> amenado: any i deas on where to go from here?
[07:19] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: ok thanks  - well I googled and a whole bunch of listings say that it might have /dev/had instead of /dev/sda in menu.lst, or that in /etc/fstab it might say /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sda -- stupid stuff like that.
[07:19] <ambar> jc, using GNOME it doesn't connect at all. using No Proxy/Environmental i've tried connecting  in Invisible mode, and it says "connecting" but within 2 seconds or so the program is automatically getting closed!
[07:20] <xnu> lol
[07:20] <amenado> mib_hoimx7d7-> re-install
[07:20] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/Installing-Debian-Dell-2950-ftopict284011.html
[07:20] <xnu> proxy smoxy
[07:20] <jc> ambar, I'm out of ideas hopefully some with a better idea can chime in
[07:21] <pocketdrummer> Is there a way to force my mouse's sample rate to use 500?
[07:21] <ambar> jc, thanks a lot, at least the msn is getting connected now! :)
[07:21] <bluefoxx> is there any reason logitech-applet doesnt work?
[07:22] <BetaTest> I was told that I can install new themes if I go under System>Preferences>Themes, but I don't have a Themes category there. Any suggestions as to what I should do because clicking and dragging into the Appearances window doesn't cut it
[07:22] <xnu> lol
[07:22] <xnu> install
[07:23] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: I think it's a botched character error in your grub stuff somewhere.
[07:23] <BetaTest> What do you propose I install?
[07:23] <xnu> apperance maybe to get themes?
[07:23] <xnu> i don't use gnome
[07:23] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY i dont think it has to do with grub
[07:23] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: I've fixed that error before, but without having your output, seeing it all  visually, it's hard to really help
[07:23] <ere4si> BetaTest, if you look in the control panel for the main menu you should be able to add Themes to your menu
[07:24] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: what you do to the partition table, if backed up is always reversible...
[07:24] <ere4si> BetaTest, control center I meant :)
[07:24] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: you didn't say you deleted data, earlier - so what else did you do besides delete a partion?
[07:24] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: it was working fine before, then you changed one partition in gparted... then it broke?
[07:25] <BetaTest> So ere4si, what would I be looking for? o.O
[07:25] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY just deleted a partition and then extended the ubuntu partition to cover it
[07:25] <xnu> lol
[07:25] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: that should be reversible if you did not write any data in addition to that
[07:26] <Creationist> Okay, I have flashplugin-nonfree installed, but every Flash-based website still says I need Flash 8 or higher.. what gives?

[07:26] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: you'd need to first restore the partition table to what it was prior to extending it, ideally....
[07:26] <ere4si> BetaTest, an entry in the control center for "main menu" which will give you options to show on the menu different progs - if you go to prefs the entry for themes should be greyed out - click it to enable it
[07:26] <xnu> omg
[07:26] <Hemebond> omg
[07:27] <Hemebond> wtfhax
[07:27] <xnu> thanks ubotu bot master thing
[07:27] <Hemebond> IRC gave birth to those acronyms.
[07:27] <xnu> its still im
[07:27] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY i guess i could but would that fix anything?
[07:27] <xnu> wtf?
[07:27] <astro76> !wtf
[07:27] <ubotu> Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[07:27] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: but if you extended ubutnu over a partition you don't care for, you should be able to just do what you did, reinstall grub, make sure it's pointing to the correct partition and once all is lined up in menu.lst and /etc/fstab, you should be fine
[07:27] <AlexRox> !omg
[07:27] <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.

[07:28] <AlexRox> ok...I got the point.

[07:29]  * Creationist is a wing-a-ling dragon... how about you? ;)
[07:29] <xnu> !take it easy bot
[07:29] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: (in /etc/fstab and in the grub boot menu, if applicable)
[07:29] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY i did it in grub already but ill try fstab
[07:30] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: well good luck man - that partition recovery stuff should be well documented, even your vfs kernel panic is well documented - just a pain in the neck to filter out all the useless forum posts to something that matches your case exactly.
[07:30] <AlexRox> I stopped using Ubuntu since the last time I did, the kernel crashed like a tonne of bricks
[07:31] <ere4si> BetaTest, do you have an entry for the control center in your menu?
[07:31] <xnu> ubuntu is vapor ware
[07:32] <singlesun> vapor ware?
[07:32] <xnu> here today gone tomorrow
[07:32] <astro76> that's not what vaporware means
[07:32] <singlesun> so then what remains?
[07:32] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY thats been the problem so far
[07:32] <Sevensins> good morning from gmoney
[07:32] <xnu> lol
[07:33] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: grin
[07:33] <badkitty> xnu: nah i dont think so
[07:33] <Sevensins> anyone here to help me with alsa problems?
[07:33] <xnu> badkitty
[07:33] <singlesun> xnu, what remains then? personally ive had a much better experience with ubuntu than some other linux distros ;)
[07:33] <^Santri_Cowo^_> fadan
[07:33] <xnu> true
[07:34] <xnu> can't complain about that
[07:34] <singlesun> ;) and there is alot of nice ppl that back it up too... just look at the channel listing
[07:34] <xopher> Hi, is it possible to overclock your cpu when using frequency scaling?
[07:34] <xopher> Im on a amd64 venice, with cool'n'quiet enabled, oc'd to 2.64ghz in bios, but 'performance' shows a 2.4ghz maximum
[07:34] <xnu> there release cycle is screwed
[07:34] <AlexRox> xopher, the info given by linux will always show the stock core speed
[07:35] <xnu> they're
[07:35] <astro76> their
[07:35] <xnu> grammar
[07:35] <astro76> :p
[07:35] <singlesun> lol
[07:35] <xnu> lol
[07:35] <astro76> !ot
[07:35] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:35] <AlexRox> I've tried OC'ing, I never get the OC readidng
[07:35] <singlesun> oops... i did the lol...
[07:35] <xopher> AlexRox, does this mean it's actually still overclocked when at 100%?
[07:35] <mib_hoimx7d7> karNY fstab doesnt say anything about my ubuntu partition
[07:35] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: which is your winbows partition again?
[07:35] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: sda1?
[07:35] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY its sda2
[07:35] <xnu> didn't yo momma teach you about oc'ing
[07:35] <AlexRox> xopher, it probably is overclocked, but most of the time, Linux fails to show the OC'd core speed.
[07:35] <xopher> AlexRox, is there a way to read the FSB in linux?
[07:36] <AlexRox> Not to my knowledge.
[07:36] <Sevensins> my alsamixer doesnt save settings. my soundcard is an emu 0404 where you can adjust the samplerate but the alsamixer and the gnome-mixer dont save what i adjust there each time i reboot the system from a cold state it has lost all settings. where can that reason from?
[07:36] <AlexRox> There have been some CPUID clones, but none successful enough to reach RC
[07:36] <xopher> AlexRox, right, well when I didn't have cool'n'quiet enabled, freq scaling didn't work, but the cpufreq showed up correctly
[07:36] <xopher> ok
[07:36] <Sevensins> i found out that logginng out and in to gnome doesnt make me loose the settings its just once i shut down and boot up againn
[07:37] <xnu> google alsamixer?
[07:37] <AlexRox> Wouldn't know, My experience varys between IBM PPC and Intel cores.
[07:37] <xnu> lol
[07:37] <pocketdrummer> hello everyone
[07:37] <xnu> archlinux wiki
[07:37] <xopher> ok, well thanks a lot
[07:37] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: does dmesg | frep sda    on live-cd  show your sda partitions?
[07:37] <Sevensins> i checked that i have the proper rights for the dev files
[07:37] <pocketdrummer> Is there a way to change your keyboard layout? I have two versions added (qwerty and dvorak), but I'm not sure how I can switch between the two. Any suggestions?
[07:38] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: s/frep/grep/
[07:38] <AlexRox> use sax2
[07:38] <xopher> Ill just hold on to the illusion that my cpu is faster than it wants to tell me .. ;)
[07:38] <Sevensins> therefore i had to add a group audio and i added myself plus root to this group
[07:38] <xnu> just get a blank keyboard and set your own key map
[07:38] <Sevensins> but still no effect
[07:38] <AlexRox> pocketdrummer, SAX2
[07:39] <sky_> So guys, is anyone else getting segfaults on npviewer.bin?
[07:39] <kaushal> hi
[07:39] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY says EXT2 FS on sda3, interal journaled
[07:39] <Sevensins> xnu googling st is contraproductive since you can imaagine i already did so
[07:39] <xnu> wtf is npviewer.bin
[07:39] <kaushal> is LPI 199 a objective type exam
[07:39] <sky_> xnu: flashy goodness

[07:39] <xnu> whats flash
[07:39] <krys2008> hey can any one help me with installing Panda Desktop Secure For Linux?
[07:40] <xnu> thats gnu right
[07:40] <xnu> gnu flash
[07:40] <xnu> o
[07:40] <xnu> adobe
[07:40] <AlexRox> If its Linux, doesn't it HAVE to be GNU?
[07:40] <Hemebond> xnu: your shoe-lases are undone.
[07:40] <xnu> sorry my bad
[07:40] <pocketdrummer> Weird, xIRC crashed. Anyway, I'm not sure if anyone responded... Is there a way to change your keyboard layout from qwerty to dvorak and back whenever I feel the need?
[07:40] <xnu> i don't have shoes
[07:40] <Hemebond> AlexRox: No.
[07:40] <AlexRox> No?
[07:41] <xnu> i'm in the african jungle in my tree hut typing on my xio
[07:41] <Hemebond> AlexRox: Linux is the kernel. GNU/Linux is an operating system.
[07:41] <AlexRox> pm for explanation ?
[07:41] <Dezine> Hi, I installed Ubuntu from Kubuntu and then removed Kubuntu, now I can only login by typing startx. Any idea how to fix this?
[07:41] <xopher> AlexRox, dmidecode | grep External Clock

[07:41] <xnu> or qingy
[07:41] <xnu>  if your getty
[07:41] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: have you recently upgraded releases or kernels?
[07:41] <blayde> pocketdrummer, if you put the keyboard applet in the panel and mess w/ keyboard preferences you can do it - i have
[07:42] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY yes
[07:42] <AlexRox> xopher, and that is?
[07:42] <xopher> That's the Front Side Bus, AFAIK
[07:42] <blayde> pocketdrummer, thing is i need to put the letters on the keys so i can actually start learning dvorak
[07:42] <AlexRox> thats impossible.
[07:42] <xnu> 500mhz here
[07:42] <AlexRox> My FSB is 533...not 133...
[07:42] <xnu> blazin fast

[07:45] <DJAdmiral> The support is amazing.
[07:46] <AlexRox> I learnt Linux Through SuSE.

[07:46] <DJAdmiral> Alex, how many years have you been with Ubuntu?
[07:46] <AlexRox> 3
[07:46] <xnu> true
[07:46] <DJAdmiral> I mean, Linux
[07:46] <AlexRox> and I've given up this year.
[07:46] <xnu> lol
[07:46] <AlexRox> with Linux itself?
[07:46] <DJAdmiral> Why so
[07:46] <DJAdmiral> ?*
[07:46] <xnu> gnu
[07:46] <AlexRox> 8 years
[07:46] <DJAdmiral> Aye.

[07:47] <DJAdmiral> Awesome.
[07:47] <stf_> Hey all. Got a problem with Gutsy's usplash. The monitor natively uses 1280x768 (or 1365x768, not sure). I can't find a vga=*** code for that (except someone mentioned vga=797 which doesn't work). The closest I get is 1280x1024 (vga=795) but then the splash is distorted (shifted to downwards and to the right, and squashed vertically). I could use any pointers on that :)
[07:47] <DJAdmiral> Suse since 8?
[07:47] <Hemebond> Fixed my Flash. Solution is in the forums.
[07:47] <xnu> thats good for you
[07:47] <DJAdmiral> Wish I was that lucky.
[07:47] <AlexRox> SuSE since 7
[07:47] <AlexRox> Yeah...well I've found one cool thing out...
[07:47] <xnu> i use linux all day at work in a fortune 500 company
[07:47] <AlexRox> when ever I have a problem in Windows...it keeps fucking me over.
[07:47] <xnu> windows rules
[07:47] <AlexRox> but in Linux...I think of a solution in less time than it takes me to think of the problem!
[07:47] <DJAdmiral> ubotu: language > AlexRox
[07:47] <badkitty> Both OS's have their benefits
[07:48] <xnu> there is no contest
[07:48] <AlexRox> Eh, sorry.
[07:48] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: yeah It basically talks about tons of stuff, but the guy got dpkg-reconfigure  [new.kernel.installed.xxxxx] to work
[07:48] <hitguy> yes .you are right
[07:48] <AlexRox> Theres no contest
[07:48] <DJAdmiral> Anyway
[07:48] <AlexRox> but in terms of being able to move in a world without walls...
[07:48] <AlexRox> who wins?
[07:48] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY ok im trying it
[07:48] <xnu> nobody
[07:48] <AlexRox> Linux.

[07:49] <xnu> thats right
[07:49] <DJAdmiral> I've been with Linux for about 3 years now, first used Fedora/Red Hat for a while, then moved on and actually learned Linux with Ubuntu since 5.04
[07:49] <krys2008> any one know how to install Panda DesktopSecure For Linux ubuntu 7.10?
[07:49] <DJAdmiral> And I managed to make my own distro from scratch last year :)
[07:49] <xnu> good for you
[07:49] <AlexRox> Wow...congrats.
[07:49] <AlexRox> Im learning python soon
[07:49] <badkitty> For a basic computer user windows is by far better, but for anyone who wants to go beyond surfing myspace making pretty word documents.. linux is the way to go
[07:49] <DJAdmiral> and I'm 18 now.
[07:50] <AlexRox> niice.
[07:50] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: also - the guy in that post had added a repository before installing the kernel... he ended up having to make all the repositories match the same release/level that he wanted to stick with, obviously, he had to satisfy dependencies
[07:50] <xnu> all this windows bashing
[07:50] <AlexRox> Ha its not windows bashing...
[07:50] <xnu> lol

[07:55] <xnu> you are correct sir
[07:55] <FBERN> anyone here use nvidia proprietary driver and get BLACK SCREEN?
[07:55] <xnu> nope
[07:55] <ethan_> hi room
[07:55] <hantu> astro76: kubuntu-desktop gives me a lot of applications i don't want
[07:55] <stf_> FBERN: what wm?
[07:55] <xnu> then remove them
[07:55] <hantu> i just want a working desktop, without those applications
[07:55] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: can you apt-get install initrd-tools, then apt-get install the former kernel -- and apt-get remove the newer kernel -- revert?
[07:55] <xnu> use openbox
[07:55] <xnu> pekwm
[07:56] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY nope caus i cant get on the internet :(
[07:56] <astro76> hantu: well you could remove the meta-package and remove what you don't want, or, look at the dependency list as a reference
[07:56] <crdlb> hantu: see Webu's link
[07:56] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: sorry man but without seeing it all I'm shooting in the dark now.
[07:56] <icedtea> where can I get a ubuntu package without using apt-get? I need to download vim on a machine with no internet connection but through a flash drive
[07:56] <stf_> Hey all. Got a problem with Gutsy's usplash. The monitor natively uses 1280x768 (or 1365x768, not sure). I can't find a vga=*** code for that (except someone mentioned vga=797 which doesn't work).

[07:56] <mkquist> last night i d/l the 'update' of the Flash, now flash won't play?  Is there a prob w/the new one? cause mine was working
[07:56] <stf_> Also, is /etc/usplash.conf ever read by usplash?
[07:56] <astro76> icedtea: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[07:57] <karlNY> mib_hoimx7d7: good luck
[07:57] <hantu> x-window-system-core kde-core and kdm will do, thanks.
[07:57] <cMad> I heard folks complaining about the flash update last night - that it broke flash completely - anyone know if it's ok? I haven't updated yet
[07:57] <icedtea> astro76: thanks man
[07:57] <xnu> i don't use flash
[07:57] <xnu> is it broke?
[07:57] <cMad> xnu: I don't like to :)
[07:58] <stf_> cMad: someone complained about that just before you joined
[07:58] <hantu> umm.. konqueror etc comes with kdebase which is in kde-core ;\
[07:58] <cMad> stf_: cheers, I'll hold off for now then
[07:59] <mib_hoimx7d7> karlNY yeah i know
[07:59] <mib_hoimx7d7> KarlNY im going to try and make the partition table the same
[07:59] <astro76> hantu: I believe konqueror is responsible for the desktop in kde... you should ask in #kubuntu
[07:59] <Aloha> what is better, evolution or thunderbird?
[07:59] <singlesun> any idiots guide to connecting to a wpa secured access point?
[07:59] <astro76> hantu: or #kde

[08:00] <WGGMk> What would cause my wireless card to NOT be recognized by Ubuntu anymore? Was working in 7.04 & 7.10 (via RDM in 7.10, but now does not show in RDM)
[08:01] <xnu> hmm
[08:01] <singlesun> any guide for connecting to wpa secured access points?

[08:01] <ubotu> singlesun: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:01] <AlexRox> singlesun, aircrack-ng
[08:01] <cMad> mkquist: thanks, that article appears to suggest using the proposed repo, bit concerned about that breaking other bits though, what do you think?
[08:01] <astro76> cMad: enable the repo, install flash, then disable the repo
[08:02] <singlesun> AlexRox, i have some issues with air and my card.... when i was using bt2... hence the reason im trying with ubuntu ;)
[08:02] <xnu> exctly why ubuntu needs a rolling release with stable an unstable branches
[08:02] <AlexRox> heh cool
[08:02] <astro76> xnu: that's debian
[08:02] <cMad> alright, thanks astro76 / everyone
[08:02] <xnu> exactly
[08:02] <astro76> exactly, so what's your point? :p
[08:03] <xnu> so you get everything set up and then the next version comes out and breaks what worked before?
[08:03] <astro76> pick the one you prefer, half the reason for ubuntu was a regular fixed release
[08:03] <astro76> xnu: generally the update works fine, here you see only those with problems
[08:04] <xnu> ok
[08:04] <xnu> i'm glad i never have problems
[08:05] <astro76> and of course the problems are usually related to proprietrary wireless drivers or proprietary 3d drivers which the community can't do much about
[08:05] <xnu> ok
[08:05] <xnu> i see the point
[08:06] <xnu> so is it an upgrade or a new release
[08:07] <astro76> xnu: you can upgrade from release to release
[08:07] <xnu> like arch or debian
[08:07] <astro76> or you can upgrade from LTS release to LTS release which will be about 3 years apart assuming 8.04 is LTS
[08:07] <astro76> it's mostly debian
[08:07] <xnu> ok
[08:08] <astro76> many packages are unmodified
[08:08] <xnu> so whats modified
[08:08] <astro76> too much to list here and ot
[08:09] <sananebe> may anybody help me about my HD Audio??? i habe no sound and no kn0owledge about linux :(
[08:09] <FC|Kasei> hi, i'd like to install ubuntu 7.10 on an athlon 900MHz 512MB ram pc. live-cd starts regular, when i choose start and install ubuntu, the loadingscreen appears, after 5-10 sec. a black screen apears and nothing happens. is that pc to old ?

[08:10] <FC|Kasei> i waited 30 min
[08:10] <astro76> FC|Kasei: no, but you might try the alternate install cd
[08:10] <Invert314> how do I get xterm to print my CPU specifications?

[08:11] <sananebe> with super user
[08:11] <prakriti> it keeps dropping me to busybox
[08:11] <xnu> its ok
[08:11] <stf_> xnu: yep, but it only has the 4 common resolutions: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024.
[08:11] <xnu> busybox is good

[08:12] <pigor> hello. is there a good documentation how to patch a package xy?
[08:12] <stf_> pigor: what?
[08:12] <pigor> "apt-get source ..." and then ?
[08:13] <xnu> so resize the ext3, create a new ntfs in its place and install windows
[08:13] <DJAdmiral> brb.
[08:13] <stf_> pigor: `apt-get source somepackage` gets you the source for somepackage
[08:13] <xnu> then reinstall grub
[08:13] <xnu> apt-get windows
[08:13] <badkitty> LOL
[08:13] <pigor> I want to modify the source and build a new package or just a patch file or
[08:13] <Webu> :D
[08:13] <FC|Kasei> why should the alternate cd work, but the live cd not? is there an option to see the loading sequence and not the loading screen?
[08:13] <badkitty> DJAdmiral: Why not virtualbox?
[08:14] <xnu> lol
[08:14] <xnu> hmm
[08:14] <sananebe> does anybody know anything how to get the latest ALSA in development stage? (not by using synaptics, i need the daily snapshots)

[08:14] <TaintedTux> I cant get MPD to read the music I copied from my ext.HD to my music directory, and none of my music at all shows up in Sonata...any ideas?
[08:14] <xnu> i d/l windows server 2008 just for laughs
[08:14] <FC|Kasei> maybe i was to slow, because the blackscreen appears

[08:18] <Invert314> I think my CPU supports SVM, it's just that either: (a) I haven't enabled SVM in my BIOS or (b) I haven't compiled a kernel which includes support for SVM or (c) maybe I need to do both. My questions, therefore, are: (1) what should I look for and where in my BIOS to enable SVM, and (2) where in the kernel do I enable SVM?

[08:28] <Duskin> wow theres alot of people in here
[08:28] <Duskin> anyone know if world of warcraft works on ubuntu?
[08:28] <Duskin> using WINE preferebly
[08:29] <Decco> it works yeah.
[08:29] <Duskin> cool
[08:29] <Decco> i also try to make it work..
[08:30] <Duskin> does it run slower on linux?
[08:30] <miss_sunshine> sure
[08:31] <Duskin> sure?
[08:32] <sinthetek> i recently saw an article about gaming in linux/wine being better than with vista
[08:32] <Duskin> orly
[08:32] <Slart> sinthetek: don't believe everything you read.. not saying it's wrong though =)
[08:33] <sinthetek> http://wastingtimewithmikeandari.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/linux-has-better-windows-compatibility-than-vista/
[08:33] <iiPing> pipz... question where can i find the application developer channel
[08:33] <Slart> sinthetek: but if I had to chose gaming on ubuntu or gaming on vista.. I'd chose vista
[08:33] <sinthetek> Slart: you would probably know better than me, i don't game...
[08:33] <Slart> sinthetek: the guy that chose 5 games? way to be thorough =)
[08:33] <Duskin> i just want to be able to play WoW is all
[08:34] <Duskin> and hopefully as fast if not faster then on my vista
[08:34] <Duskin> cuz i get low fps as it is
[08:34] <sinthetek> Slart: but i've heard similar experience even in comparison with xp over the years (on specific hardware/game combos anyway) and considering vista's resource usage it wouldn't surprise me at all
[08:34] <sinthetek> heard of similar experiences*
[08:34] <Slart> I think wow is pretty well supported... there is a lot of people out there that want it to work
[08:34] <iiPing> etqw is running great on the platform
[08:35] <Slart> sinthetek: gaming on linux vs gaming on xp.. there I can tell you.. xp wins.. hands down, blindfolder.. it still wins
[08:35] <Duskin> ok well i guess the only thing i can do is try it out
[08:35] <zh> Does ubuntu have good firewall
[08:35] <Slart> sinthetek: wine runs few games good.. some games run with bad performance.. and many games don't run at all
[08:35] <Slart> zh: yes

[08:37] <iDivine_> Hello.
[08:37] <blackjohn> καλημέρα
[08:37] <iDivine_> I was wondering, Why I can't view certain embedded .wmv videos?
[08:37] <Slart> gr | blackjohn
[08:37] <Slart> !gr | blackjohn
[08:37] <ubotu> blackjohn: #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές  /  #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes
[08:38] <sinthetek> Slart: overall i don't doubt your right, but i'm sure there are/were some exceptions to the rule with xp and i would be surprised if there weren't even more in regards to vista
[08:38] <Slart> iDivine_: what player do you use?
[08:38] <iDivine_> G something..
[08:38] <iDivine_> G something..
[08:39] <blackjohn> kalimera se oloys sas
[08:39] <Slart> sinthetek: yes.. there are always exceptions... vista breaks some older games.. drivers need some work etc
[08:39] <iDivine_> I was wondering, Why I can't view certain embedded .wmv videos?
[08:39] <Slart> iDivine_: gxine?
[08:39] <sinthetek> and the whole..."needing 4x more resources" thing...
[08:39] <iDivine_> Umm, I think so...
[08:40] <Slart> iDivine_: try opening those same wmv's with VLC.. see if it works there
[08:40] <taz> hi guy
[08:40] <taz> how i can get wobbly or cube ??
[08:40] <iDivine_> I actually use..
[08:40] <iDivine_> totem-plugin-viewer 2.20.0
[08:40] <Slart> taz: ask in #compiz-fusion
[08:40] <taz> any one can help me please
[08:40] <iDivine_> I actually use..
[08:41] <iDivine_> totem-plugin-viewer 2.20.0
[08:41] <taz> ok thanks i try
[08:41] <Slart> iDivine_: ah.. embedded movies in webpages?
[08:41] <iDivine_> Yup.
[08:41] <Duskin> does ubuntu support multiple videocards/monitors?
[08:41] <iDivine_> ;P
[08:41] <sinthetek> my first/only experience with vista, i was helping a friend pick out a new system... he had a particular store in mind and the best hardware we saw was amd x2 5200 systems (though they had vista pre-installed)
[08:41] <Slart> iDivine_: well.. those don't work reliably for me either.. don't know why
[08:41] <sinthetek> we went through 2 of the same model before we went with a core-duo model with half resources because the better hardware wouldn't stay booted
[08:42] <iDivine_> Is that a thing that only Ubuntu?
[08:42] <haim> hi anybody else experienced segfault when running 'depmod -a' (for the new kernel upgrade)?
[08:42] <iDivine_> does...
[08:42] <Slart> Duskin: dual monitors work but you'll have to do some work to get there.. dual video-cards.. I have no idea
[08:42] <iDivine_> Is that a thing that only Ubuntu does?..
[08:43] <Slart> sinthetek: it's sad really... we wouldn't accept that in a car.. but with computers we do
[08:43] <Duskin> well i have dual video cards right now (not SLI or crossfire) with one monitor each, would that work?
[08:43] <Slart> iDivine_: don't know.. it was a long time since I ran anything else than ubuntu
[08:43] <sinthetek> Slart: i don't, haha :P. i suspect it might be related to some secret ms/intel conspiracy, hah
[08:44] <zaryk> hello! What do you think of creating a speakers configuration tool for Ubuntu? I've heard that the padevchooser will have that feature in the future.
[08:44] <zaryk> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4285380#post4285380
[08:44] <iDivine_> Sigh.. So, You mean, I can't watch embedded web pages videos?
[08:44] <Slart> Duskin: I don't know.. I haven't tried it myself
[08:44] <Invert314> sinthetek, are you the same sinthetek from the indymedia network? lol
[08:44] <Slart> sinthetek: hehe.. indeed
[08:44] <Duskin> ok well i guess i can try it
[08:44] <sinthetek> (or negligence of 'cheaper' consumers who buy amd hardware more often in hopes of not delaying vista's release again :P)
[08:44] <iDivine_> Sigh.. So, You mean, I can't watch embedded web pages videos?
[08:44] <sinthetek> Invert314: haha, whatup, homie?
[08:44] <Slart> iDivine_: well.. you said it yourself.. you can watch some of them =)
[08:45] <sinthetek> deja vu, eh?
[08:45] <Slart> iDivine_: no need to repeat everything..
[08:45] <iDivine_> I did? IT's like SUPER poor quality..
[08:45] <Invert314> yeah
[08:45] <iDivine_> on 56k..
[08:45] <prakriti> if i'm going to clone a drive with dd, what blocksize would be optimal?
[08:45] <FC|Kasei> ok, starting with save grafic mode didn't work either, 10 min blackscreen. i did alt+strg+entf to restart, starting without quiet option, the same, first the loading screen  (4 lines 3ok) the screen went black
[08:45] <Invert314> let's talk in #indymedia, it's less chaotic
[08:47] <Slart> iDivine_: you might be able to tweak it.. or install some extra stuff.. I don't know really... I don't watch many embedded wmv-movies so I haven't really looked into it
[08:47] <FC|Kasei> so why does the lince cd doesn't work
[08:47] <taz> which one terminal i sholud using for compiz-fusion ??
[08:47] <Phildo> Heyas - problem, when i enable any visual effects settings, i lose all my window title bars... everything used to be fine, but today theyve disappeared..
[08:47] <iDivine_> Wow, I would think an OS like Ubuntu, would have SOMETHING, to watch embedded videos.
[08:47] <FC|Kasei> live-cd
[08:47] <Slart> taz: /join #compiz-fusion
[08:48] <Slart> iDivine_: I think wmv is a closed/proprietary format.. might have something to do with it
[08:48] <ghetto> im havinf this problem, i cant install ubuntu, the cd loads the installation interface and all, but then when the ubuntu bar is loading nothing happens :/
[08:48] <taz> just like this /join #compiz-fusio  or  #compiz-fusio
[08:48] <FC|Kasei> idivine i can watch videos on webpages with ubuntu
[08:48] <SlimG> Is the pacakges ndisgtk and ndiswrapper provided by ubuntu 7.10 out-of-box?
[08:48] <iDivine_> .wmv formats?
[08:48] <iDivine_> or Real?..
[08:48] <FC|Kasei> sure
[08:48] <Slart> taz: just type "/join #compiz-fusion".. without the ""
[08:49] <FC|Kasei> live streams although
[08:49] <iDivine_> Sigh..
[08:49] <zh> mplayer can play wma?my can't

[08:52] <doktoreas> hello everybody
[08:52] <doktoreas> anyone can suggest a syslog server to get log from syslogd?

[08:52] <doktoreas> from remote
[08:53] <AlexRox> ah, my bad
[08:53] <doktoreas> like wiki
[08:53] <AlexRox> no clue =)

[08:53] <taz> wherei can find it irc-channel
[08:53] <Kevin`> doktoreas yes, I believe so.
[08:53] <Duskin> it wouldnt load livecd but worked with alternate fine

[08:57] <Kevin`> cornishman well, are you sure it does wireless? I wouldn't want to install it manually unless I knew it worked
[08:57] <miss_sunshine> man or command
[08:58] <cornishman> It provides an interface to network administration facilities over ssh tunneling, which at a quick glance I thought you were after.

[09:10] <bentob0x> anybody knows why Photoshop under wine can't read/use the .pfb fonts that are installed system-wide?
[09:11] <Peanut> Good morning - I have a bit of an Ubuntu Emergency - when I try to boot into Ubuntu, all it will say is "GRUB" and a flashing cursor. This is a MacBookPro with MacOSX and Ubuntu installed. Yesterday I shrank the MacOSX partition by 5GB, then allocated that space to my Ubuntu single partition using Gparted. Worked like a charm, booted well for both Linux and MacOSX.
[09:11] <astro76> bentob0x: because anything win only sees the fake windows directory under ~/.wine/
[09:11] <astro76> bentob0x: *anything wine
[09:11] <Peanut> But then I ran out of the extra 5GB too, and now I can't boot Ubuntu at all anymore :-(
[09:12] <astro76> Peanut: boot with a livecd and delete some files
[09:13] <Peanut> astro76: oh, there is diskspace aplenty on the Ubuntu again - but I fear that having the disk full and the boot area in the middle of that 5GB disk killed my bootloader in some way.
[09:13] <zetheroo> can I get USB working in Virtual Box?
[09:13] <Peanut> Because I grew the Ubuntu partition downwards, so to say, which Gparted supports just fine.
[09:14] <ogre> how do i run a command as root on a usb stick?
[09:14] <Peanut> ogre: if you mean you booted from that stick and it has no users configured: just 'sudo bash'.
[09:15] <zetheroo> anyone?
[09:15] <ogre> Peanut:  no im actually trying to set boot on that stick using a script
[09:15] <Peanut> Then I'm afraid I didn't understand your question, please try again :-)
[09:16] <Peanut> I have just booted with the live CD. My Ubuntu partition on the HD still has 1.24GiB available.
[09:16] <Peanut> What would I need to do to get it bootable again?
[09:16] <ogre> i am trying to run a script on a usb stick but ubuntu says i dont have permissions

[09:17] <Kevin`> Peanut chroot and run grub-install
[09:17] <Peanut> ogre: Try copying the script from the USB to your homedir? Perhaps the stick is mounted without execute or suid permissions?
[09:18] <Peanut> Kevin`: ah, good plan. Should I run a fsck first?
[09:18] <ghetto> Peanut try here http://support.microsoft.com/ph/2971
[09:18] <Kevin`> Peanut probably a good idea

[09:18] <Peanut> Ok, here goes nothing.. wish me luck ;-)

[09:28] <Kevin`> mha is the disk itself working at the proper speed? maybe dma got disabled or something sillt
[09:28] <FC|Kasei> right^^
[09:29] <Peng> Is it possible to get Ubuntu to stop screwing with my /etc/resolv.conf?
[09:29] <mha> Kevin`: afaik DMA cannot be set on SATA drives (hdparm dosen't have the field). However read/write speeds to the single discs are seemingly having good performance on both 2.6.{17,22}.
[09:29] <Peng> I don't want to use the prepend-hosts or whatever thing because I have comments in it.
[09:29] <mha> Kevin`: when the kernel is upgraded, the raid resync sucks. :)
[09:29] <Kevin`> mha make 2.6.24 stock and report to lkml
[09:29] <NoiseFree> I'm tyring to find live cd ubuntu. Is this the regular desktop cd? or ..?
[09:30] <compwiz18> Peng: if you have your heart set on keeping it the way it is: sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf will make it unwritable to ANYTHING (and that includes root) sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf will undo it, make it root writable again
[09:30] <mha> Kevin`: was my next move unless I got some other tip/feedback yes.
[09:30] <Kevin`> mha I didn't have this problem with raid5, though, on my system
[09:31] <blackjohn> mporei kapoios na voi8isei enan arxario???
[09:32] <Kevin`> hi ubotu
[09:32] <Peng> compwiz18: That sounds good, but I'm not using ext2 or ext3.
[09:32] <compwiz18> Peng: ah, then it probably won't help :) soryr
[09:33] <mib_hoimx7d7> anyone want to try and hlep me?
[09:33] <Peng> compwiz18: Thanks for the tip though. It could come in handy in the future.
[09:33] <blackjohn> υπάρχει κάποιος έλληνας να βοηθήσει έναν αρχάριο στο ubuntu710????

[09:38] <rian> hiiiiii
[09:39] <PKdoR> Finally my ubuntu is setup just like I like it
[09:39] <Demonho-br> hello
[09:39] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: do you have a seperate /boot partition?
[09:39] <Demonho-br> someone can help me
[09:39] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: no
[09:39] <raid_user> Hi All! First sorry my English! I have a 4 * 750 GB hdd = 3 TB and 1 320 GB hdd... I'm installing Ubuntu on 320 GB and I want make other disk 3 TB RAID 5... I have Bios raid5 but I think so Linux not support bios raid yet. I research and fount mdadm command... This command a stabil? have any bug or problem? thansk all...
[09:40] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: so it's just under the root partition, then, what filesystem is it?
[09:40] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: i just updated my kernel and deleted a partition other than the ubuntu
[09:40] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: and that error appeared on boot
[09:40] <Demonho-br> i have a sony notebook, my keyboard is U.S  and i had set  u.s keyboard with deadkeys.. i tried intl   but nothing is working !!! look c~ao  ´e   ´i   i want these symbols  ¨ ´ ~ ¨  above letters, what can i do ? :(  my xorg is ok
[09:40] <PKdoR> but I am still debateng about a good Vm app Im bettewn VMWare or Virtualbox
[09:41] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian ext3
[09:41] <mib_hoimx7d7> virtualbox has seemless integration with windows
[09:41] <zetheroo> hey I am trying to follow the Ubuntu Guide online about working with SAMBA ....... but I am a bit stumped here....sudo smbpasswd -a system_username
[09:41] <Demonho-br> ikonia, do u know how to configure keyboar ? =\
[09:41] <zetheroo> can someone help me ?
[09:41] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: ok, I think it means that grub is having problems with the partition that /boot is on.  can you boot to a rescue disk/livecd/alternate install cd and mount your root partition from there?
[09:41] <mib_hoimx7d7> yes i can
[09:42] <mib_hoimx7d7> i was talknig to someone earlier and we narrowed it down to needing to rebuild/reconfigure my initrd
[09:42] <Demonho-br> what about my keyboard please.
[09:42] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: ok, so partition table would be good and the root partition is good, that is very good.  Yes, it probably is your initrd.
[09:42] <mib_hoimx7d7> any ideas?
[09:42] <PKdoR> the reason VMware im still considering is bacause a lot of the VMs I get from Tux distro come in VMWare format and Virtual Box does not completelly support it atleast no snap shots
[09:43] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: or it makes sense that could be it.  I can't see why it needs to be rebuilt, though, how did you come to that conclusion?
[09:44] <Demonho-br> =\
[09:44] <mib_hoimx7d7> well i just upgraded my kernel and grub is configured correctly. in addition we were able to get partially through the bootup sequence and it stopped
[09:44] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: are you sure grub is configured correctly?  can you paste your menu.lst?
[09:45] <pajamian> ...to the pastebin, I mean
[09:45] <pajamian> not in channel
[09:45] <mib_hoimx7d7> well im not on the computer that has the problem. it cant get internet
[09:45] <Nulo> Hi, when I plug in my USB Epson D88 printer the system recognises it (it comes out in the syslog), but in CUPS the option to add a parallel/usb printer is greyed out. Where am I going wrong? (Kubuntu Dapper 6.06)
[09:45] <mib_hoimx7d7> but i assure you i spent a good 1-2hrs making sure grub was configured correctly
[09:45] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: can't connect to the network at all, not even on a live cd or rescue disk?
[09:46] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: nope. im at a college that has propritary software that needs to be installed to access the internet
[09:47] <PKdoR> any body here running Ubunu on a PS3?
[09:47] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: ok.  Well if you're sure that your menu.lst is fine ... hrmmmm
[09:48] <mib_hoimx7d7> i am
[09:48] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: is it i686 or x64?
[09:48] <mib_hoimx7d7> i686
[09:49] <clusty> hey
[09:49] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: and you just ran the recent kernel update and that's when it stopped working, right?
[09:49] <clusty> tryuing to get running but it crashes and burns. it lists as fatal error-: no valid fontpath found
[09:49] <clusty> am I missing siome packages or just misconfigured?
[09:49] <clusty> ...been a long time since I tried getting X running from scratch
[09:50] <mib_hoimx7d7> well i updated the kernel then deleted a partition and it stopped working afterward
[09:50] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: ok ... what size is your initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic ?
[09:51] <mib_hoimx7d7> i have initrd.img-2.6.20-16 and its 6.8mb
[09:51] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: that's old
[09:52] <mib_hoimx7d7> yeah
[09:52] <pajamian> mib one sec ...
[09:52] <mib_hoimx7d7> well the synaptic packet manager told me to update and i did
[09:52] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: yes, I have initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic on my box, and it's 7233642 in size
[09:53] <pajamian> so yours is definately old
[09:53] <mib_hoimx7d7> mines 7162509
[09:53] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: it is running gutsy, right?
[09:53] <mib_hoimx7d7> fiesty
[09:53] <Nulo> Hi, when I plug in my USB Epson D88 printer the system recognises it (it comes out in the syslog), but in CUPS the option to add a parallel/usb printer is greyed out. Where am I going wrong? (Kubuntu Dapper 6.06)
[09:53] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: oh, that could make the difference
[09:53] <Slart> I installed the flash update.. and, ironically, it killed flash for me.. it doesn't work any more.. am I the only one?
[09:53] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: sorry, I just assumed it was gutsy.
[09:54] <mib_hoimx7d7> slart everyone has been saying that
[09:54] <Slart> mib_hoimx7d7: ah.. thanks.. I'll just get my pitchfork and torch and get in line to stab someone =)
[09:54] <pajamian> is anyone else here running fiesty and can confirm the current initrd filename and size for mib_hoimx7d7 ?
[09:54] <asdrubal> Howdy everyone
[09:54] <mib_hoimx7d7> please!!
[09:55] <mib_hoimx7d7> asdrubal are you runnig fiesty?
[09:55] <asdrubal> mib_hoimx7d7, yeah, sup
[09:56] <mib_hoimx7d7> can you check the size nad name of your initrd.img file
[09:56] <mib_hoimx7d7> i need to compare to see if mine is correct or not
[09:56] <pajamian> asdrubal: i686, right?
[09:56] <mib_hoimx7d7> yes
[09:58] <mib_hoimx7d7> did you find out?
[10:01] <nemilar> sup yizzzooo dis be da NEMZY reppin' da 6-3-1 yo holla
[10:01] <asdrubal> mib_hoimx7d7, I'm running a custom kernel
[10:01] <clusty> any1 trying to get X running
[10:01] <jonnymac> why will my USB speakers not work for firefox or VLC when they'll work with rhythmbox? please...
[10:02] <Peanut> *sigh* I did install-grub, but now I have 3 bootable icons in rEFIt, two of wich are Linux and both say 'GRUB' when I boot them, nothing more.
[10:02] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: when i try to boot up it says RAMDISK compressed image found at block 0        crc error          Kernel panic VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown block
[10:02] <PKdoR> how can I change the DPI
[10:02] <blag> anybody know a good way to get ifconfig to tell me my ip address without greping or awking anything?
[10:03] <NoiseFree> I'm looking for a bittorrent of the live CD 5.10, is there any?
[10:03] <nemilar> blag: you want just the IP address?
[10:03] <pajamian> blag: ifconfig
[10:03] <pajamian> just look for the ip address in the output
[10:04] <blag> nemilar, pajamian: just the ip address, as in www.xxx.yyy.zzz
[10:04] <iari> Anyone knows a good CD Burning app ?  (not for console)
[10:04] <blag> its going into a script
[10:04] <nemilar> iari: check out Brasero for Gnome and k3b for KDE
[10:04] <nemilar> blag: if it's going into a script, what's it matter if you use grep/awk
[10:04] <Pirate_Hunter> iari: you mean cli CD burning app?
[10:05] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: yeah, I'm trying to find which package initrd comes from.
[10:05] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: ok thanks
[10:05] <NoiseFree> guys: 	breezy-live-i386.iso, do I read this properly as "Live 5.10 Ubuntu for Intel 32-bit"?
[10:05] <blag> nemilar: other people will look at the script, and so it would be really nice if it was a bit more elegant
[10:05] <iari> nemilar: Private_Hunter: Thanks!
[10:05] <blag> but, i suppose simply piping it around is the unix way...
[10:05] <blag> (tm)
[10:05] <pajamian> blag: you can always use perl, heh
[10:05] <pajamian> ...instead of grep or awk
[10:05] <jay-oh-en> what can i do to make flash faster?
[10:06] <blag> pajamian: lol, true, and my roommate even knows perl
[10:06] <nemilar> jay-oh-en: there's the $1,000,000 question
[10:06] <jay-oh-en> nemilar, lo
[10:06] <neko_> install flashblock ?
[10:06]  * NoiseFree wonders if he got the wrong channel
[10:06] <Pirate_Hunter> iari: you shouldntn't thank me I was asking if you wanted a CD burning app that only work in command line, thats what i understood :(
[10:06] <jay-oh-en> neko_, whats flashblock
[10:06] <Paki_m_bored_in_> Hi all I upgraded my system yesterday. There was an upgrade for non free flashplayer plugin as well which i upgraded
[10:06] <Paki_m_bored_in_> now its not working in firefox
[10:07] <mib_hoimx7d7> Paki_m_bored_in_: everyone is saying that the upgrade was broken
[10:07] <nemilar> !flash > Paki_m_bored_in_
[10:07] <Paki_m_bored_in_> Ok :)
[10:07] <Paki_m_bored_in_> !flash
[10:07] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[10:07] <Pirate_Hunter> jay-oh-en: an app that blocks flash on pages and you can give permissions to the ones you want
[10:07] <neko_> a firefox addon that replace flash objects with button to activate them
[10:07] <nemilar> jay-oh-en: ^^^ ( look up)
[10:08] <pajamian> Paki_m_bored_in_: same here, upgrade is broken.  what I did was just download and install flash direct from adobe.
[10:08] <nemilar> www.ubuntuforums.org <------ down??
[10:08] <Pirate_Hunter> nemilar: wouldnt think so are you sure?
[10:08] <pajamian> I really would like to see a better method for installing flash, heh, rather a pain that the installer never seems to work lately.
[10:08] <kandala> Hello all, I was doing a Fiesty upgrade from Edgy and the upgrade stopped in between and the comp was frozen. I had to reboot and when I did that, I get an error "ALERT! /dev/disak/by-uuid/**** does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" I get this prompt (initramfs).
[10:08] <nemilar> Pirate_Hunter: it just came back up for me
[10:09] <nemilar> Pirate_Hunter: I was getting timeout messages for a while
[10:09] <Pirate_Hunter> nemilar: ok cause it works heer :D
[10:10] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: find anything usefull?
[10:10] <Pirate_Hunter> kandala: try to rertieve you /home folder thorugh the liveCD or just install it again without formating the disk
[10:10] <nemilar> Pirate_Hunter: now it's not working again :( :(
[10:10] <iari> Private_Hunter: No, i wanted a CD burning app with interface..
[10:10] <Pirate_Hunter> nemilar: kk let me check it out i really doubt it, might be your onnection if ur using wireless
[10:10] <pajamian> yeah, I think it's in systemimager-boot-i386-standard
[10:11] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: nm, it can't be
[10:11] <Pirate_Hunter> iari: OK i misunderstood the no console part just woke up and its my day off :D
[10:11] <pajamian> I don't have that package on my system
[10:11] <pajamian> heh
[10:11] <nemilar> Pirate_Hunter: nah, my connection is fine
[10:11] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: I'm starting to think it is generated, not sure how, though.
[10:11] <kandala> Pirate_Hunter: Will all my data be safe ?
[10:12] <kandala> Pirate_Hunter: which is why I am doing an upgrade
[10:12] <mib_hoimx7d7> something to do with dpkg i think????
[10:12] <pajamian> hang on, google is your friend (and mine)
[10:12] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/utils/initrd-tools
[10:13] <Bodsda> hi guys
[10:13] <Pirate_Hunter> kandalaWell that depends if you use the live CD and either tranfers the data to another HD or CD it will be safe otherwise you could try to install it again but youll have to retrieve /home which is tricky (i dont exactly know how to do that)
[10:13] <xen_> Hey there im having problems with "apollon" how on earth do i use this program? i would like a program similar to limewire, so if theres any alternative to apollon please state, thanks

[10:14] <jay-oh-en> how do i do this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55065/
[10:15] <Bodsda> xen_, why not search synaptic for p2p
[10:15] <xen_> im using kubuntu
[10:15] <asdrubal> try ktorrent
[10:15] <xen_> and i tried that in adept, but no resluts :S
[10:15] <Pirate_Hunter> xen_: Gtk-Gnutella, e donkey etc search online
[10:15] <xen_> no, ktorrent not the same as limewire
[10:15] <xen_> thats a torrent client
[10:15] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=61284 looks like it has your answer
[10:15] <xen_> i know limewire is too etc etc
[10:15] <jay-oh-en> xen_, why dont you use limewire or frostwire they both work on kubuntu
[10:15] <xen_> but still not the same
[10:15] <Pirate_Hunter> asdrubal: ktorrent is not like limewire it doesnt search the gnutella network
[10:15] <Bodsda> jay-oh-en, you need the latest version of java
[10:16] <xen_> ah ok didnt realise that limewire is available on linux
[10:16] <Bodsda> xen_, why not google for it?
[10:16] <Peanut> Second try - I have a bit of an Ubuntu Emergency - when I try to boot into Ubuntu, all it will say is "GRUB" and a flashing cursor. This is a MacBookPro with MacOSX and Ubuntu installed. Yesterday I shrank the MacOSX partition by 5GB, then allocated that space to my Ubuntu single partition using Gparted. Worked like a charm, booted well for both Linux and MacOSX.
[10:16] <xen_> well why dont i bloody google for everything eh mate
[10:16] <xen_> jesus just after some advcie
[10:16] <asdrubal> WHat is libboost?
[10:16] <Peanut> I have enough diskspace again on the Linux one, but it seems to have wiped out whatever it needs to boot :-(
[10:16] <jay-oh-en> Bodsda, so how do i do that
[10:16] <Peanut> I can mount the filesystem fine when booting from the CD
[10:17] <Bodsda> search synaptic for java,.,. i dunno what the latest version is, but you need anything over 1.5,.,. just search synaptic for   java
[10:18] <Bodsda> Peanut, do you get a grub loader selection thingy?
[10:18] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian  the live cd doesnt have mkinitrd on it so i cant make the new initrd :(
[10:18] <Peanut> No, only the word 'GRUB' and a flashing cursor.
[10:19] <DASPRiD> he
[10:19] <DASPRiD> in which package is `dig` included?
[10:19] <jay-oh-en> Bodsda, its not in synaptic past 1.5 only 1.4

[10:19] <Pirate_Hunter> Peanut: have you tried restarting i.e. turn of the mac/pull out the power for a few seconds than turn it on, ive seen that beofre I doubt you touch  anything
[10:19] <Bodsda> Peanut, maybe your GRUB loader is broken, i cant understand how tho, u didnt remove any space from the ubuntu partition,.,. but im afraid i cant really help,.,. im not that good
[10:19] <Bodsda> jay-oh-en, 1 sec,.lemme check
[10:19] <Keigo-kun> I can't get X to work, it starts but gives me the error that Screen 0 is not DRI compatible or something

[10:22] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian thats the command ?
[10:22] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Hi all, I need to know a way to re-generate the original /etc/X11/xorg.conf that is created at ubuntu install time. I am testing hardy and lost my xorg.conf. dpkg-reconfigure -plow is not the answer since the file it generates does not contain the stuff for wacom tablet
[10:22] <jay-oh-en> !java
[10:22] <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)
[10:22] <Keigo-kun> I need to get some default basic settings for xorg.conf, anyway to do it from the terminal?
[10:23] <pajamian> Bodsda: me, nothing, I'm trying to find the command to regenerate initrd for mib_hoimx7d7
[10:23] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: yes, check the man page
[10:23] <Bodsda> pajamian, oh, i thought you were doing something exciting like putting pretty pictures behind the grub menu,.,.lol,.,.;)
[10:23] <Pirate_Hunter> who keeps spamming jave/flash every so second its getting annoying please stop
[10:23] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Keigo-kin
[10:23] <Bodsda> can we stop with the bot flooding plz,. if you wanna ask the bot a question, do it privately
[10:23] <taz> hi please can u help me to get cube.. can u tell me step to step please
[10:23] <pajamian> Bodsda: he seems to have a corrupt initrd.
[10:24] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Keigo-kun: dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg
[10:24] <Keigo-kun> Le-Chuck_IT2: Thanks!
[10:24] <Bodsda> pajamian, thats not good,.,. corrupt means bad ,.,.;~)
[10:24] <Pirate_Hunter> Keigo-kun: i doubt it if you havent backed it up, try to set it using generic values
[10:24] <Bodsda> taz,.i will
[10:24] <taz> thanks
[10:24] <Le-Chuck_IT2> nobody knows how to regenerate the default xorg.conf without re-installing
[10:24] <Bodsda> taz,  have you registered with nick serv,. can you send pm's?
[10:25] <pajamian> Bodsda: I'm probably not the best person to help him with this, I don't know much about it myself, if you know more, then please take over, I'll be happy to watch and learn, hehehe.
[10:25] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Come on I destroyed mine to reply to a bug report question :)
[10:25] <taz> umm i not understand
[10:25] <Pirate_Hunter> Le-Chuck_IT2: dont think thats possible unless you backed it up yourself, just try to set it up using generic values, what are you trying to do anyway
[10:25] <mib_hoimx7d7> i dont know anything about the bootup sequence so its all good help
[10:26] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Pirate_Hunter: what is the tool that generates it in principle?
[10:26] <Bodsda> pajamian, me, no more, ha, unlikely,. im a 2month linux user m8,.,. not too good im afraid, i played with initram when i started mucking round with grub,.,. its fun
[10:26] <Pirate_Hunter> Le-Chuck_IT2: how can you destroy x replying to a bug report?
[10:26] <Bodsda> !register | taz
[10:26] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Pirate_Hunter: I had to check the "new" configuration tools
[10:26] <ubotu> taz: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about  registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[10:26] <copacabana> elo
[10:26] <pajamian> Bodsda: ok, cool, well we can probably mungle through it somehow, hehehe
[10:26] <Bodsda> taz read the message from ubotu and follow the link,.,.
[10:26] <Pirate_Hunter> Le-Chuck_IT2: this aint DBZ (regenerate) you have to use the command for X to set it up manually
[10:26] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Pirate_Hunter: I have now three or four xorg.conf with different extensions and don't know what the original one is
[10:26] <Bodsda> pajamian, who r u helping?
[10:27] <Peanut> Jay! I got my Ubuntu back. Now let's hope there's still a MacOSX left on the machine.. *fingers crossed*
[10:27] <pajamian> Bodsda: mib_hoimx7d7
[10:27] <copacabana> ohhh f***k
[10:27] <Pirate_Hunter> Le-Chuck_IT2: so you have backups than?
[10:27] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Pirate_Hunter: you mean X -config or something like that?
[10:27] <Bodsda> pajamian, and what doesnt work?
[10:27] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: wanna tell Bodsda what happens when you try to boot?
[10:27] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Pirate_Hunter: I am not completely sure
[10:28] <mib_hoimx7d7> sure
[10:28] <taz> yes already
[10:28] <Pirate_Hunter> Le-Chuck_IT2: yea x-config and if you are not sure it means you created those yourself so dont bother
[10:28] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Pirate_Hunter: because I thought my backup was xorg.conf.1 (generated by the screen settings configuration) but it is not working the same
[10:28] <Bodsda> taz, have you registered?
[10:28] <mib_hoimx7d7> Bodsda: when i boot i get a vfs kernel panic error
[10:28] <taz> yes
[10:28] <Bodsda> ok
[10:28] <eth01> j #networking
[10:28] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7, did you google that?
[10:29] <Bodsda> taz, i sent you a pm
[10:29] <mib_hoimx7d7> Bodsda: yes i did but i can up mostly empty handed
[10:29] <Pirate_Hunter> Le-Chuck_IT2: I hope this helps you https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/4273 that is if you have a valid backup
[10:29] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7, ok, lemme have a google,. brb
[10:29] <taz> hpld
[10:29] <taz> hold
[10:30] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Pirate_Hunter: I restricted my attention to two backups (I remembered about a keyword that I had set up some time ago)
[10:30] <Bodsda> taz,  have you got ccsm?
[10:30] <Le-Chuck_IT2> so if none of them works again, it's fault of today's X updates
[10:30] <davi1> I have tried to get vmware player working... but everytime I restart the machine its not working again
[10:30] <Pirate_Hunter> Le-Chuck_IT2: if the link helps try that or reconfigure xorg yourself
[10:30] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: i typed update-initrdramfs -k `uname -r` -c and i got the error getopt: not found
[10:31] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7,  whats the rest of the error?
[10:31] <davi1> help please
[10:31] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Pirate_Hunter: or I will just start the livecd and copy the xorg.conf file... what a dumb :)
[10:31] <taz> my wife need me ... sorry.. i get go and will come back again  later  . bye
[10:31] <Le-Chuck_IT2> didn't realize it's that easy
[10:31] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7, try update-initramfs -u
[10:31] <Bodsda> taz ok,. will prob be here
[10:32] <mib_hoimx7d7> it said first:  cannot open root device NULL or unkowon-block
[10:32] <mib_hoimx7d7> then: kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: unable to mount root FS on unknown-block
[10:32] <Le-Chuck_IT2> Pirate_Hunter: thanks for your help
[10:32] <pajamian> Bodsda: would it help if he chroot-ed?
[10:32] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7,  so your unable to boot, completely?
[10:32] <Pirate_Hunter> Le-Chuck_IT2: that could work would never think of that, nice thinking outside the box *im amused*
[10:32] <mib_hoimx7d7> yes
[10:32] <Bodsda> pajamian, if i knew what chroot'ing was i might be able to answer you,.,.lol
[10:32] <mib_hoimx7d7> i already did pajamian
[10:33] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7, can you boot from the live cd?
[10:33] <qzio> i have big problems with the sun-java6-bin package.. i cant install it, i cant remove it. is there some fancy i thing i can do and just ignore it?
[10:33] <mib_hoimx7d7> yes Bodsda
[10:33] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7, boot into the live cd now
[10:33] <sniff> wow this chan is big :e
[10:33] <mib_hoimx7d7> i have
[10:34] <pajamian> Bodsda: mib_hoimx7d7 basically the problem is he can't boot, so he needs to boot to a rescue CD or live CD / whatever and then mount the root partition somewhere.  chroot will allow that root partition to actually look like it's mounted as root so that any commands he runs from there will affect it with the proper libs, etc.
[10:34] <Bodsda> qzio,  id be more interested in why you can remove it
[10:34] <mib_hoimx7d7> and i have mounted and chroot'd to the partition
[10:34] <Bodsda> pajamian, yes
[10:34] <Bodsda> ;)
[10:34] <sniff> anybody knows if the ncurses interface of aptitude -s would do any changes?
[10:34] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7, can you pastebin the output of     dmesg     please
[10:35] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: the flag -u produces the error /usr/sbin/update-initramfs: 502: not found
[10:36] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7,  meaning you dont have the command update-initramfs
[10:36] <mib_hoimx7d7> Bodsda: the computer im fixing doesnt have access to the internet im using another computer right now
[10:36] <qzio> Bodsda: hu? shouldn't i be able to remove it?
[10:36] <Bodsda> qzio, yer i meant cant,.,. worry about why you cant remove it,.
[10:36] <Le-Chuck_IT2> bye all
[10:36] <qzio> Bodsda: i cant install it, and i cant do anything else with apt/aptitude. it just whines about this package
[10:36] <Bodsda> bye

[10:37] <m41n1> hello, i've a kind of problem. I installed ubuntu in a Sony Vaio, it works file but can't browse any website. Ping works even with www address, dns's are set up...i don't know what to try
[10:37] <davi1> why is it that when I try to install VMware player from the Add and Remove Applications app that it tells me that I cannot becasue my computer is not supported?
[10:38] <sniff`> anybody knows if the ncurses interface of aptitude -s would do any changes?
[10:38] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7, this other computer you have, which has the internet,. is it the same distro as the machine your trying to fix?
[10:38] <davi1> anyone?
[10:38] <Bodsda> m41n1, try dhcp
[10:38] <mib_hoimx7d7> Bodsda: no im afraid its not  even my computer and hence has vista
[10:39] <vallhalla81> i need help finding a distro that will run on a old laptop (dell pentium 2 160ram )
[10:39] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7, oh,,.damn,.,.you need it on the internet realy,,..,.im not sure what else you can try
[10:39] <m41n1> bodsa, i've already tried that
[10:39] <Bodsda> vallhalla81, dapper?
[10:39] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: i have to run a web based java client to log in and identify myself. however the live cd doesnt have the client built in and the college i go to restricts web access
[10:39] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: so i cant istall it from java.com or packet manager :(
[10:39] <vallhalla81> i will look it up
[10:40] <qzio> Bodsda: http://gottfolk.se/apt-errors.txt
[10:40] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: you have mounted and chrooted on your machine though.  Any reason why you can't run the client now?
[10:40] <Bodsda> mib_hoimx7d7, go to the tech-guys,.,. they have full access, tell them you cant do the course without a certain file from a blocked site,.,. sorted!
[10:41] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: what do you mean run the client. its web based so i'd have to run the firefox from my partition
[10:41] <Bodsda> qzio, first do       sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:41] <qzio> Bodsda: yupp, done that, the ugprade throws the same errors
[10:42] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: try startx, see if you can get into gnome and run FF
[10:42] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian: no dice :(
[10:42] <Bodsda> qzio,  oh hang on then
[10:43] <qzio> Bodsda: http://gottfolk.se/apt-error-upgrade.txt for the aptitude safe-upgrade
[10:43] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: you booted to the live CD, right?  you running gnome already?
[10:43] <mib_hoimx7d7> yes
[10:43] <Bodsda> qzio,  this is the bits that are broken, ive g2g now, but ask in here if anyone understands this : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55068/
[10:43] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: can you boot to a rescue disk that doesn't run gnome?  like the alternate install CD?
[10:44] <davi1> anyone?
[10:44] <mib_hoimx7d7> pajamian i have knoppix but would that really work?
[10:45] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: ummmm, it might, I don't know.  It would help if you're running the correct kernel at least.
[10:45] <sniff`> davi1 maybe they dont' support ubuntu
[10:45] <sniff`> did you  check?
[10:45] <stefano_> an update of flashplugin-nonfree just broke my flash player, it doesnt work anymore :O
[10:45] <davi1> sniff:its in the repos...
[10:45] <mib_hoimx7d7> the knoppic cd is a old kernel :(
[10:46] <stefano_> how hard can it be :(
[10:47] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: knoppix boots to a gui anyways, right?  you need something that will just boot to a console, no gui.
[10:47] <mib_hoimx7d7> yeah
[10:48] <pajamian> mib_hoimx7d7: download either the alternate install cd or a rescue cd from somewhere and boot to that, in the console, then see if you can mount, chroot and startx

[11:02] <mania90> ?
[11:03] <lollo> ok i'll try
[11:03] <pajamian> mania90: not fixed, unfortunately
[11:03] <Decco> ati x1600 and ubuntu.. anyone fixed that +
[11:03] <mania90> also remiove it of topic pajamian:

[11:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:05] <nemilar> oh.
[11:05] <lollo> the last question*
[11:05] <pajamian> lollo: it's not recommended to do that
[11:06] <lollo> uhm why ? it's for my security ?
[11:06] <pajamian> lollo: that password keeps an attacker from gaining root
[11:06] <nemilar> lollo: that's there for your own protection
[11:06] <nemilar> lollo: The next version of Ubuntu, 8.04, due out April, will let you set options like that.. for now it's required though
[11:06] <lollo> uh ok, it's a sort of my antivirus in ubuntu .. ?
[11:06] <edw> pajamian: thanks. i wish i could say the same about my wifi
[11:07] <lollo> great !
[11:07] <pajamian> lollo: it is possible by modifying /etc/sudoers, but I really don't recommend it.
[11:07] <nemilar> lollo: It prevents a program from modifying your system without your permission
[11:07] <lollo> no i'll not do it !!!! you've the password to insert too ?
[11:08] <lollo> or u disabled that ?
[11:08] <nemilar> yeah, I think almost everyone here leaves it enabled, lollo
[11:08] <pajamian> lollo: I don't know what you mean by: you've the password to insert too ?
[11:08] <Jadd76> Am I the only person who can't access ubuntu.com ?
[11:08] <livenicely> my tv card is present in hardware list but first tvtime was ok now i have checked my /dev. there is not any v4l folder. i dont know how it removed

[11:09] <nemilar> Roy: run the program's uninstaller from within wine
[11:09] <brinkergurl17> Hello All! Quick question, I installed NoMachine NX and its missing libXcomp.so.3 but its inside of /usr/NX/lib. I linked libXcomp.so.3 to /usr/lib but when i ldd nxssh i still get libXcomp.so.3 not found anybody know how to fix this?
[11:09] <lollo> however, this is a sort of antivirus ... right ?
[11:09] <pajamian> lollo: I have my password memorized, but it's not a bad thing to have to write it down.
[11:09] <Jadd76> Strange, I can't even ping it
[11:10] <Flynsarmy> Anyone here know how to use XMing?
[11:10] <Roy> nemilar: I tried that but it didn't work.
[11:10] <lollo> however, this is a sort of antivirus ... right ? --- the only antivirus - firewall in ubuntu
[11:10] <pajamian> lollo: it's one measure that can help to keep a virus from gaining control of your computer.
[11:11] <pajamian> lollo: it is not anti-virus, though.
[11:11] <nemilar> Roy: what happened when you tried it?
[11:11] <lollo> ok, and ... there are other misures to keep me safe from viruses ?
[11:11] <nemilar> brinkergurl17: did you run "ldconfig" after you symlinked the files?
[11:12] <lollo> like an integrated firewall or similar ...
[11:12] <Roy> nemilar: I saw a graphical interface much to the like of Windows and I was prompted to remove it. After closing the graphical interface, I saw that the application is still there.

[11:13] <nemilar> asdrubal: in the next version of Ubuntu, Transmission will be the default torrent program.. if you haven't looked at it, you might want to check it out
[11:14] <brinkergurl17> ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/libz.so.1' to `/usr/NX/lib/libz.so.1': File exists  got this on all of them
[11:14] <asdrubal> transmission has very few features, nemilar
[11:14] <asdrubal> so I don't like it
[11:14] <pajamian> Roy: I usually maintain a seperate .wine directory for each windoze app I install that way removal is as easy as removing the .wine directory and works for the most stubborn apps.
[11:14] <nemilar> asdrubal: yes, I know... I don't love it, for the same reason
[11:14] <asdrubal> nemilar, forced encryption, random ports, blocklists
[11:14] <nemilar> brinkergurl17: did you run ldconfig ?
[11:14] <asdrubal> that are things I want in a torrent client
[11:14] <Milamber> hello ubuntu people
[11:15] <brinkergurl17> thanks nemilar reading about it now
[11:15] <nemilar> asdrubal: Deluge can get very CPU-heavy on large torrents when they go very fast
[11:15] <asdrubal> nemilar, interesting.
[11:15] <Roy> pajamian: That's a great idea, I'll try it next time. But what do I do to remove that stubborn application now?
[11:15] <nemilar> brinkergurl17: after you add a library by hand, you have to run ldconfig to let the system know about it, is all
[11:15] <brinkergurl17> oh
[11:16] <pajamian> lollo: the best measure to avoid viruses is to keep your system up to date, just run the updates when prompted.  There are also anti-virus programs for Linux (such as clamav) but I haven't ever had need for one.
[11:16] <nemilar> brinkergurl17: you can also add additional directories (if you wanted to add /usr/NX/lib instead of creating symlinks, for example) to search for libraries in /etc/ld.so.conf
[11:16] <pajamian> Roy: you may be stuck with just re-installing all your other windows apps into seperate .wine directories and deleting this one.
[11:16] <brinkergurl17> oh cool
[11:16] <nemilar> pajamian: most of the AV programs for Linux ( don't know about the one you mentioned ) just detect Windows viruses, so you don't spread them unknowingly to others
[11:17] <pajamian> nemilar: true.
[11:17] <Milamber> i'm having some trouble installing ubuntu
[11:17] <brinkergurl17> thats probably easier in the future then right?
[11:17] <pajamian> I really have yet to hear of a linux virus.
[11:17] <nemilar> brinkergurl17: yeah probably
[11:17] <_dml> Milamber: whatsup?
[11:17] <nemilar> pajamian: there have been some proof-of-concept viruses, but there are no known viruses for linux in the wild
[11:17] <Roy> pajamian: separate .wine directory as in not within the program files?
[11:17] <Milamber> my machine reboots before it gets to the graphical interface
[11:18] <Vasilii> I need to change language on my OzOS (e17) setup, how do I run "Language Selector" by command, which command is it to open up that program?
[11:18] <pajamian> Roy: the program files are under .wine/drive_c
[11:18] <balor> I've just installed  evolution-data-server-dbg. Where does it put the debug libraries?
[11:18] <_dml> Milamber: have you tried booting into recovery ( single user ) mode ?
[11:18] <pajamian> Roy: I'll explain...
[11:18] <Roy> Sure, thank you :)
[11:18] <Milamber> _dml: its not installed yet
[11:18] <balor> d'oh...just found it
[11:19] <pajamian> Roy:  I usually do something like this when installing a wine app...
[11:19] <_dml> Milamber: oh . bugger ...
[11:19] <_dml> the installer is rebooting ?
[11:19] <pajamian> Roy: mkdir ~/fooapp
[11:19] <Milamber> i boot from the CD, select "Start or install Ubuntu" and moments later my machine reboots
[11:19] <_dml> before it gets to graphical ?
[11:19] <Milamber> yeah
[11:19] <pajamian> Roy: WINEPREFIX=~/fooapp/wine wineprefixcreate
[11:19] <_dml> um that sucks
[11:19] <nemilar> haha _dml
[11:19] <student_> hello
[11:20] <_dml> Milamber :  what kinda hardware is it ?
[11:20] <pajamian> Roy: WINEPREFIX=~/fooapp/wine wine fooinstall.exe
[11:20] <nemilar> sup student_
[11:20] <_dml> ie especially new or old ?
[11:20] <Milamber> very new
[11:20] <_dml> hmm
[11:20] <Milamber> got it this week
[11:20] <_dml> maybe its *too* new ...
[11:20] <_dml> ;)
[11:20] <Milamber> :)
[11:20] <_dml> have you tried another flavour of linux ?
[11:20] <pajamian> Roy: then after the install I would run with: WINEPREFIX=~/fooapp/wine wine 'C:\Program Files\foo\foo.exe'
[11:21] <_dml> or, is there a non-X install mode?
[11:21] <Roy> Oh!
[11:21] <Aquahallic> Milamber: is this trying to install ubuntu that it just reboots??
[11:21] <zetheroo> vmware is just not workin under Ubuntu 7.10
[11:21] <Milamber> i haven't tried that yet
[11:21] <pajamian> Roy: then if I want to remove it, I just remove the ~/fooapp directory
[11:21] <_dml> it's prolly barfing on autodetecting your hardware for X
[11:21] <Milamber> yes Aquahallic
[11:21] <pajamian> Roy: rm -rf ~/fooapp
[11:21] <Milamber> could be
[11:21] <Roy> Hmmm
[11:21] <Milamber> i'm using SLI
[11:21] <mahi> hi  i am facing error (EE) I810(0): Monitor 2 cannot be specified on single pipe devices
[11:21] <_dml> so if you can install it text-only
[11:21] <_dml> then later get X working at your leisure ..
[11:21] <nemilar> zetheroo: works over here..
[11:21] <pajamian> brb
[11:21] <Aquahallic> if it's a new machine... check to see if you can drop the sata controller into compatibility mode.. that kicked me once..:)
[11:21] <Roy> Hb
[11:22] <nemilar> mahi: fresh install?
[11:22] <Milamber> ahh, thx, will give that a shot as well Aquahallic
[11:22] <mahi> nemilar s
[11:22] <Milamber> its an nforce 780i motherboard
[11:22] <Milamber> so maybe thats the issue
[11:23] <_dml>  yeah, its worth googling Ubuntu + each bit of hardware ..
[11:23] <nemilar> mahi: ?
[11:23] <_dml> well the interesting bits
[11:23] <Aquahallic> might have a brand new sata controller or something that the installer can't detect
[11:23] <nemilar> mahi: pastebin your xorg.conf file
[11:23] <mahi> nemilar:
[11:23] <schoash> in my /proc/acpi/GFX0/DD02/brightness i have 2 lines. How can I cahnge the value in the second line which says current: 0?
[11:24] <schoash> wanna change it to 50

[11:26] <Paki_m_bored_in_> Hi all i m trying to install flash player manually but its not accepting the mozilla installatin directory as /usr/lib/mozilla ??
[11:26] <wuya> hehe
[11:26] <nemilar> mahi: is it a duel-head card or single?
[11:26] <wuya> ´ó¼Ò¶¼²»Ëµ»°
[11:27] <pajamian> Paki_m_bored_in_: /usr/lib/firefox
[11:27] <nemilar>  Paki_m_bored_in_ you are not root
[11:27] <mahi> nemilar:how to check?
[11:27] <Paki_m_bored_in_> well i ran the script using sudo i think
[11:27] <wuya> su -
[11:27] <nemilar> mahi: do you have one video output or two?
[11:28] <Paki_m_bored_in_> nemilar: i used sudo to run the script
[11:28] <pajamian> Paki_m_bored_in_: use sudo and /usr/lib/firefox
[11:28] <nemilar> Paki_m_bored_in_: oh.  pajamian has some ideas then
[11:28] <pajamian> I've isntalled it a few times and that always works for me
[11:29] <Paki_m_bored_in_> thanx
[11:29] <pajamian> ...just installed it again today in fact, when the flash-installer update decided to break it on me, heh
[11:29] <mahi> nemilar: i am using IBM thinkfinger..
[11:29] <frost0> Is it okay for me to run ubuntu w/ less than a gig of storage left?
[11:29] <frost0> like 850mb ?
[11:30] <frost0> it's all i have :(
[11:30] <mahi> nemilar:Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller
[11:30] <frost0> not install*
[11:31] <_dml> frost0: how much space is USED .. ? and what filesystem are you using?
[11:31] <pawan> hi
[11:31] <supershort> hi
[11:31] <frost0> _dml, i've used about 18gb....and not sure which filesystem :(
[11:31] <_dml> frost0: type ` mount `
[11:31] <supershort> you know the thing on the bottom that shows ur open windows
[11:31] <nemilar> frost0: you should be able to run until you have nothing left... but things start to act strange at the very end
[11:32] <supershort> how do i get that back
[11:32] <_dml> frost0: whats it say about \ ?
[11:32] <supershort> i accidently closed it
[11:32] <_dml> , even ..
[11:32] <nemilar> supershort: right click, add to panel
[11:32] <nemilar> supershort: right click on the panel, that is, then add to panel
[11:32] <nemilar> supershort: I think it's called the Window Selector
[11:32] <nemilar> supershort: might be the window list, though
[11:32] <frost0> _dml, command not found?
[11:33] <_dml> frost0: its usually a bad idea to have less than 10-20 % free space because fragmentation increases nonlinearly as free space decreases
[11:33] <_dml> but all it will do is frag up a touch
[11:33] <neko_> hi again
[11:33] <_dml> the shit only really hits the fan if you run out ;)
[11:33] <neko_> another little zip question
[11:34] <nemilar> !ohmy | _dml
[11:34] <ubotu> _dml: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[11:34] <nemilar> ;)
[11:34] <frost0> _dml, i'm not planning on using anymore space....i just cleaned up....and no some apps are runing oddly :(
[11:34] <qzio> hmm, if to .deb files has dependence of each other how the hell do i install them?
[11:34] <supershort> um
[11:34] <supershort> where do i rightclick to add to panel
[11:34] <neko_> if i zip a folder with this kind of path : "zip -r stuff.zip /home/someone/somefolder/"
[11:34] <supershort> there nothing on bottom
[11:34] <nemilar> supershort: anywhere on the panel. If you lost your lower panel, right-click on the upper panel and select "New panel"
[11:34] <neko_> the zip file contain the whole path
[11:34] <frost0> _dml, what is the command to check my hd space again?
[11:34] <_dml> frost0: qzio : at the same time ?
[11:34] <_dml> frost0: df -h
[11:34] <nemilar> frost0: df -h
[11:35] <nemilar> qzio: if you use the gdebi installer it will take care of the dependencies for you
[11:36] <frost0> _dml, http://pastebin.com/d1965b636
[11:36] <_dml> hmm
[11:36] <qzio> nemilar: ah thats a neat program, ill remember it thanks! but i think i solved my problem with doing dpkg -i *.deb :) :)
[11:36] <nemilar> qzio: cool cool
[11:37] <frost0> _dml, ? :)
[11:37] <g-Z|NiceShot-> -s irc.quakenet.org
[11:37] <_dml> frost0: yeah you dont have much free do you ;)
[11:37] <nemilar> I've run linux on much smaller drives, though :)
[11:37] <frost0> _dml, it's actually a nice computer...just a tiny hd..
[11:37] <_dml> frost0: just don't let /tmp or /var/log fill up :-0
[11:37] <_dml> since you dont have them on isolated partitions
[11:37] <frost0> _dml, i did yesterday..
[11:38] <wuya> hehe
[11:38] <frost0> _dml, it was bad...
[11:38] <_dml> yeah
[11:38] <_dml> bad ;)
[11:38] <g-Z|NiceShot-> How i get in a Quakenet server with xchat?
[11:38] <frost0> _dml, may that be why things were getting messed up?
[11:38] <_dml> could be ..
[11:38] <nemilar> g-Z|NiceShot-: /server server.to.join.net
[11:38] <frost0> _dml, but would the damage be permanent?
[11:38] <g-Z|NiceShot-> ok
[11:38] <_dml> depends what happened ...
[11:38] <_dml> ie what it was in the middle of writing
[11:38] <frost0> _dml, gnome-rdp says error reading database
[11:38] <_dml> yeah databases REALLY dont like it
[11:38] <nemilar> lol, oops
[11:39] <frost0> _dml, cant i just reinstall...i tried...but same error :(
[11:39] <_dml> frost0: you might need to purge & reinstall
[11:39] <_dml> since a reinstall wont hose your local data / conf
[11:39] <frost0> _dml, howso? :)
[11:40] <_dml> aptitude purge appname
[11:40] <frost0> _dml, i'm really contemplating removing sauerbraten for space..
[11:41] <_dml> frost0: never heard of it .. i'm installing it ;)
[11:41] <frost0> _dml, it's sweet...but about 900mb.
[11:41] <_dml> hmm only wants 206Mb for me
[11:41] <vlazar> hey
[11:42] <frost0> _dml, assassin edition?
[11:42] <vlazar> how is the user administration app package called?
[11:42] <frost0> _dml, wait.....okay..maybe delete my podcasts :)
[11:42] <frost0> _dml, tons of them...
[11:43] <frost0> _dml, is it wise to truecrypt your hard drive?........i have nothing to hid but....it sounds cool.. ..
[11:43] <frost0> _dml, reading about it on downloadsquad.com
[11:44] <_dml> frost0: not unless you need to ... a surprising number of people forget their passwords ...
[11:44] <tdn> How can a device (partition) exist in fdisk -l but not in /dev? I am trying to mount a partition from an USB harddisk enclosure, but this is what happens: http://thomasdamgaard.dk/paste/P1062.html
[11:44] <_dml> frost0: whats assassin edition ?
[11:44] <frost0> _dml, okay....uh....its the newest release i guess.
[11:44] <frost0> _dml, its nice...
[11:45] <frost0> _dml, according to sauerbraten.org
[11:45] <frost0> _dml, okay the package that is giving me trouble is gnome-rdp...
[11:45] <frost0> _dml, how do i purge and reinstall that?
[11:45] <pawan> hi
[11:46] <c4fe> hi
[11:46] <_dml> frost0: aptitude purge gnome-rdp; aptitude install gnome-rdp
[11:46] <frost0> _dml, will this give me a menu item?
[11:46] <frost0> _dml, if i don't use add/remove?
[11:46] <_dml> frost0: i think so
[11:47] <_dml> frost0: the gnome add/remove is just a gtk front end for aptitude / synaptic / apt / dpkg
[11:47] <_dml> saerkraut looks nice
[11:47] <frost0> _dml, its saying permission denied..
[11:47] <_dml> bung a sudo on the front
[11:48] <frost0> _dml, i did .... :(
[11:48] <_dml> sudo aptitude ...
[11:48] <_dml> oh ? ]

[11:56] <moad> anyone knows what makes firefox stop working after 10-15 minutes ?
[11:56] <krim> moad: Maybe you have some extensions that are messing things up?
[11:56] <_dml> frost0: also try running aptitude with just: sudo aptitude
[11:57] <_dml> gives you the nice curses interface
[11:57] <_dml> better than that gnome thing ;)
[11:58] <dbgi> would anyone know why that when i type into xchat here, my computer makes a beeping noise with every letter i type..
[11:58] <jufjurieuih> Haha, that would be so annoying.
[11:58] <dbgi> it is
[11:58] <jufjurieuih> I would actually enjoy it if it would make a typing sound that sounded like an old type writer.
[11:58] <mahi> brinkergurl17:what i have to do so that i dont require to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[11:58] <dbgi> this is just a beeping noise, sucks
[11:58] <jufjurieuih> I have wanted to do that but I can't find anything that will.
[11:59] <df7> i cant find on jabber.org where i can setup an account
[11:59] <jufjurieuih> Does it do it with just XChat?
[11:59] <LukeLC> I believe pidgin has an option to make any sound you want when you type
[11:59] <jufjurieuih> Really? OMG I gotta check this out brb.
[11:59] <LukeLC> you'd have to find the file for 'old typewriter' though
[12:00] <brinkergurl17> mahi i donno thats beyond me
[12:00] <xcucumber> hi! i was trying to get video to work in firefox, and did sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer, and it installed, but when i open firefox, it still says i need a plugin, any help welcome, thanks!

[12:01] <LukeLC> Yeah, I can't remember where though
[12:01] <pawan> hi
[12:01] <pajamian> xcucumber: when you clicked to install the plugin what plugin did it say you needed?
[12:01] <LukeLC> it's called keystrokes

[12:02] <jufjurieuih> Yeah under sound events it is not listed. Why would they remove such an awesome feature.
[12:02] <frost0> _dml, same error
[12:02] <frost0> _dml, sadness
[12:02] <pawan> why
[12:03] <LukeLC> It may not have ever been in pidgin, ive used a lot of chat programs in the last little bit
[12:03] <_dml> frost0: try: sudo cat /etc/shadow
[12:03] <Tomi^^> Are there drivers for Realtek HD Audio soundcard, integrated on Asus p5k? :o
[12:03] <_dml> frost0: you see some shit on the screen or what?
[12:03] <pawan> why slapping
[12:03] <Tomi^^> For Ubunutu ofc.
[12:03] <frost0> _dml, lots o poo.
[12:03] <xcucumber> it says need to install plugin, i click button to install, it says "no suitable plugins were found, unknown plugin application/x-mplayer2
[12:03] <_dml> frost0: error with aptitude or the package ?
[12:03] <user11_011> i am unable to recieve notifications on buddy login on pidgin > why?
[12:03] <U> haiii
[12:04] <kylix13> hello, all.  why the ubuntu didn't install full manual ? how can I get it ?
[12:04] <frost0> _dml, uh pastebin?
[12:04] <_dml> mm
[12:04] <pajamian> xcucumber: installing mozilla-mplayer should have done it.  did you restart FF?
[12:04] <xcucumber> ya i closed windows and reopened
[12:04] <LukeLC> user11_011 have you checked all the prefernces options?
[12:04] <frost0> _dml, almost done pastebinning...btw...what is this?
[12:05] <xcucumber> could it be that i installed firefox on the desktop
[12:05] <df7> how much commercial support cost and what it is include... like do they send patches?
[12:05] <pajamian> xcucumber: what do you mean?
[12:05] <jufjurieuih> I would kill for a way to make a cool sound for keystrokes.
[12:05] <xcucumber> i'm using dapper and i had an old firefox 1.5, so i ended up downloading 2.0.11 and installed it on the desktop
[12:05] <_dml> frost0: just checking if sudo was working ;) thats the system shadow password file
[12:05] <df7> mmm stupid, patches should be available in repository
[12:05] <user11_011> LukeLC: yes(but it has only sound options) , enabled even notification plugins and enabled notification area also.
[12:06] <_dml> which you couldnt read unless you had root access
[12:06] <frost0> _dml, so i can't send you this...
[12:06] <frost0> _dml, right?
[12:06] <_dml> well you can, but i dont really want it and its not gonna help you
[12:06] <_dml> send me your application error ;)
[12:06] <pajamian> xcucumber: yeah, that's probably it, the plugin you installed went into a different directory.  You can try copying the plugin file from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins to the local plugins directory.
[12:07] <frost0> _dml, application error?...i'm really sorry...it's sooo early
[12:07] <frost0> oh
[12:07] <frost0> oh
[12:07] <xcucumber> ok thank you!
[12:07] <frost0> _dml, the gnome-rdp error!
[12:07] <wuya> fuck....
[12:07] <_dml> yeah
[12:07] <wuya> hehe.  nice....
[12:08] <frost0> _dml, "error during connection to the database"
[12:08] <_dml> frost0: like this? http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.launchpad.net%2Fubuntu%2F%2Bsource%2Fgnome-rdp%2F%2Bbug%2F149542&ei=uvSqR6XeAovApgTgy5m1Cw&usg=AFQjCNH7Vty31yqUVGOmrKTqKBPhtKvSmw&sig2=j9b_TI0kr3BsXmVFGP95EA
[12:09] <_dml> frost0: it says rm ~/.gnome-rdp.db
[12:09] <frost0> _dml, i'll run that
[12:09] <frost0> _dml, then reinstall...or am i fine?
[12:09] <_dml> frost0: then try running it again
[12:10] <_dml> frost0: most apps use "dotfiles" in your home dir to store prefs and data
[12:10] <_dml> ls -a ~/ will show them
[12:10] <frost0> _dml, fixed!
[12:10] <_dml> cool
[12:10] <pawan> hi
[12:10] <marshall> how do i configure firefox to use mplayer to play embedded movies instead of totem?
[12:10] <frost0> _dml, thank you very very much
[12:10] <_dml> np
[12:11] <_dml> frost0: now i'm gonna play saerkraut
[12:11] <jack_spratt> how do i onetime boot to cli?
[12:11] <hugo> ello
[12:11] <pajamian> marshall: install the mplayer-plugin package and remove the corresponding totem one (forget the exact names of the packages, but can look them up in a min)
[12:11] <_dml> marshall: mozilla-mplayer ?
[12:11] <frost0> _dml, sauerbraten? :)
[12:11] <_dml> yeah thats it ;)
[12:11] <frost0> _dml, it means something like sausage....
[12:11] <frost0> idk
[12:12] <hugo> any swedishes here?
[12:12] <pajamian> marshall: yes, install mozilla-mplayer and remove totem-mozilla
[12:12] <jack_spratt> how do i onetime boot to cli?
[12:13] <LukeLC> !nl
[12:13] <ubotu> Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl
[12:13] <pajamian> marshall: ...from synaptic
[12:13] <marshall> pajamian: thanks
[12:13] <marshall> _dml: ok, thanks
[12:14] <jack_spratt> come on, it must be easy as pie, everyone needs to know how to do it
[12:16] <frost0> _dml, once again thx
[12:16] <jufjurieuih> Hmm, I don't know, it may be me. But KDE is very unreliable, and it 'feels' like windows, in a bad way.
[12:16] <Chani> is it possible to dist-upgrade from dapper straight to gutsy?
[12:17] <WhiteSnak3> ciauZ a tutti
[12:17] <frost0> _dml, any experience with nomachine?
[12:17] <jufjurieuih> I wouldn't recommend that, but yes its possible.
[12:17] <Chani> the only distro cds I have are kubuntu dapper, and some gentoo disk. and I'm not giving a windows guy gentoo.
[12:17] <gino--> im having problems with ubuntu hardy,
[12:17] <Photo1> Hi again! :)
[12:17] <gino--> how do i fix error:15
[12:17] <jufjurieuih> join #ubuntu+1
[12:17] <gino--> not found
[12:17] <jufjurieuih> for hardy
[12:18] <Chani> jufjurieuih: how mch trouble do you think it would cause?
[12:18] <Photo1> What do you guys recommend for avoiding Codec trouble for videos?
[12:18] <Photo1> vlc maybe?
[12:18] <incorrect> is there an ubuntu NAS project?
[12:18] <DJAdmiral> hey, is there any way to install GRUB from the Alternate disc?
[12:18] <jufjurieuih> It may work perfectly, I just personally have encountered issues with large dist upgrades like that.
[12:18] <pajamian> jack_spratt: not sure, possibly by passing a kernel argument for the run level?
[12:18] <Chani> dist upgrades have issues period
[12:18] <UcKen> Anyone with a bit of experience with Multisync here?
[12:19] <jufjurieuih> lol, exactly.
[12:19] <jufjurieuih> Why not just download gutsy?
[12:19] <jack_spratt> pajamian: apparantly debian based distros dont use runlevel args, but thanks
[12:19] <jufjurieuih> and lol @ gentoo for a windows guy.
[12:20] <LetsGo67> I always have a problem uploading the last song of this music CD with Sound Juicer.  There's a lot of undesirable noise.  Is this the CD's fault, or the computer's?
[12:20] <pajamian> Photo1: I've found different players work better in different circumstances and on different hardware, just find the one that works best for you.  If you want to be able to play any codec then get the w32codecs package from medibuntu.
[12:20] <Photo1> Or should I let Totem download codecs? Isn't that bad etc? :P
[12:20] <Photo1> Well, codec packs cause no havoc on Linux?
[12:21] <Photo1> They can mess up XP pretty good ;)
[12:21] <jufjurieuih> lol My codecs work fine. I have w32codecs installed.
[12:21] <pajamian> Photo1: ...and the gstreamer0.10-pitfdll package so that totem can see the w32 codecs
[12:22] <DJAdmiral> Anyone know if installing GRUB from the alternate disc is possible, people?
[12:22] <DJAdmiral> Just GRUB, in case the MBR gets written over.\
[12:22] <pajamian> DJAdmiral: it should be, though I've never tried it.
[12:22] <Slart> DJAdmiral: I have no idea.. there is a grub boot cd though.. and you can install grub from the live cd
[12:23] <pajamian> grub-install should work from the alternate install disk afaik
[12:23] <incorrect> i am getting lazy in my old age, is there a webui to configure the server?
[12:24] <mannyz> hey, how I can get the running programs to show when i use ctrl+alt+delete?
[12:24] <pajamian> jack_spratt: oh well, I remembered something about run levels from my old red hat days, haven't tried it since I switched to ubuntu, haven't had any need to boot to cli.
[12:25] <bazhang> wow flash has been fixed and parallels (the virtualization solution) is in the repos now
[12:25] <Chani> jufjurieuih: I have exactly one blank cd-r left, and this internet connection is kinda crappy... so... I dunno. I'm reluctant to use up my last cd. assuming my cd drive still works
[12:25] <MissPenguin> hey
[12:25] <pajamian> bazhang: I wish flash were fixed
[12:26] <jufjurieuih> Chani damn, thats rough lol.
[12:26] <Chani> jufjurieuih: btw, my mum's computer is actually running gentoo :) has been for years now. poor thhing hasn't been upgraded at all in at least a year
[12:26] <bazhang> pajamian: the latest update has it ;]
[12:26] <MissPenguin> i'm new to xubuntu. i cant get sound to work. any ideas?
[12:26] <kurugah> pajamian is it not?
[12:26] <pajamian> bazhang: yes I got the update and it broke flash for me, I had to dl and install it direct from adobe
[12:26] <bazhang> pajamian: see /topic
[12:27] <xcucumber> hi ! i wasnt able to get media player to work in firefox, even though the plugins in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins included a bunch of mplayerplug-in-wmp.so , mplayerplug-in-wmp.xpt, and others and opened firefox from the usr/lib/firefox folder... any help welcome! thanks :-)
[12:28] <tinman> xcucumber: What do you mean wont work? firefox askes you to install missing plugins?
[12:28] <xcucumber> ]ya
[12:28] <thanasi> why does eth0 always come up when i reboot? i ran grep -r eth0 /etc/ and changed averything to eth1. when i run .../networking restart eth0 does not come up but as soon as i reboot it's back and then smb machines is invisible. any ideas?
[12:28] <tinman> You probably do't have the one needed then
[12:28] <xcucumber> and then it says it cant find suitable plugins
[12:28] <pajamian> xcucumber: you need to copy those plugins to your local firefox folder since you have installed ff yourself and it doesn't use the /usr/lib/plugins folder.
[12:29] <frost0> anyone here play frets on fire
[12:29] <pawan> hi
[12:29] <UcKen> To avoid being Mr. Spam I'll change the wording a bit but still ask the same question: Does anyone know a thing or two about Multisync, and using it between Evolution and an E series Nokia phone via bluetooth? :)
[12:29] <DJAdmiral> I do!
[12:29] <pajamian> xcucumber: copy them to ~/.mozilla/plugins
[12:29] <DJAdmiral> I play frets
[12:29] <xcucumber> oh ok i'll try that now thanks
[12:30] <frost0> DJAdmiral, i notice i have to download this package that contains songs for FoF
[12:30] <frost0> DJAdmiral, are these songs legal?
[12:30] <DJAdmiral> Yeah
[12:30] <frost0> DJAdmiral,like non-copyrighted material..or permission is given?
[12:30] <MissPenguin> where is the volume control and mute option please?
[12:30] <DJAdmiral> Those songs were licensed out to Frets.
[12:30] <DJAdmiral> or they're Creative Commons
[12:30] <DJAdmiral> not sure
[12:30] <frost0> DJAdmiral, but not illegal?
[12:31] <DJAdmiral> Nope, not illegal.
[12:31] <pajamian> MissPenguin: double click on the little speaker icon in the panel
[12:31] <frost0> DJAdmiral, is the package fretsonfire-songs-sectoid?
[12:31] <MissPenguin> in the settings manager?
[12:32] <frost0> DJAdmiral, is that the package fretsonfire-songs-sectoid?
[12:32] <xcucumber> i added a -r to make it copy , is that ok? "cp plugins -r ~/.mozilla/plugins" ?
[12:32] <pajamian> it will right on the panel, I think in the upper right corner by default (not sure, though since I moved mine ages ago)
[12:32] <bazhang> mannyz: I believe you want top in the terminal
[12:32] <mannyz> mmk
[12:33] <DJAdmiral> Yes
[12:33] <pajamian> xcucumber: just copy the mplayer* ones
[12:33] <bazhang> mannyz: you can install htop as well, which is a more powerful version
[12:33] <xcucumber> oh ok hmmm
[12:34] <pajamian> xcucumber: cp /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/mplayer* ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[12:34] <mannyz> bazhang, what it does?
[12:34] <MissPenguin> pajamian- i cant find a speaker icon and i havent removed one
[12:34] <xcucumber> nice thanks! im a newb at shell
[12:34] <bazhang> mannyz: same as top, just more powerful
[12:34] <frost0> DJAdmiral, uh....you gotten GH2 Controller To Work
[12:34] <frost0> ?
[12:35] <frost0> DJAdmiral, I Can Get Buttons To Work...but, no strum :
[12:35] <frost0> :(
[12:35] <pajamian> MissPenguin: I'm not sure what to say, it's on every ubuntu install I've seen/done
[12:36] <DJAdmiral> don't have the controller on me
[12:36] <DJAdmiral> but I gtg now
[12:36] <mannyz> where i get this htop?
[12:36] <mannyz> sudo apt-get install htop?
[12:36] <pawan> hi
[12:36] <Pici> mannyz: yes
[12:36] <MissPenguin> can you tell me exactly where to look? i can get the sound mixer to come up by no volume control. i wonder if its set to mute
[12:36] <Pici> !hi | pawan
[12:36] <ubotu> pawan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:37] <pajamian> MissPenguin: one min
[12:38] <xcucumber> thanks for the help with the media player! it works now... i guess i didnt understand that the plugins were supposed to be in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ ... is this like a home folder ??
[12:38] <pajamian> xcucumber: it's because of your weird ff setup.
[12:38] <xcucumber> lol
[12:39] <pajamian> xcucumber: your copy of ff doesn't see the normal plugins folder
[12:39] <xcucumber> oh
[12:39] <MissPenguin> i can get to applications> settings> settings manager> sound> device.  but hear no sound yet
[12:39] <mannyz> bazhang, i got it open now.. but i dont find the pingus game :S.. its stuck and dosnt close :S
[12:39] <xcucumber> why is that?
[12:39] <frost0> anyone else play frets on fire?
[12:39] <pajamian> xcucumber: because it is not the ff that comes with ubuntu
[12:40] <xcucumber> oh
[12:40] <MissPenguin> frost0- no, i dont even know what it is
[12:40] <pajamian> MissPenguin: open a terminal and type: gnome-volume-control
[12:40] <pajamian> MissPenguin: that's another way to bring it up
[12:41] <frost0> okay ....better question...anyone use joystick/controller on ubuntu?
[12:41] <pawan> any software to plya flv files
[12:41] <pawan> play
[12:41] <xcucumber> why does it have a period in front of mozilla?
[12:41] <Slart> frost0: I have used a logitech gamepad if that might help you
[12:41] <xcucumber> ~/.mozilla/plugins
[12:41] <Photo1> frost0: no, not yet, but I could give my XBox 360 Controller a go :)
[12:41] <frost0> Slart, heres my problem...
[12:41] <pajamian> xcucumber: most local settings folders do, the . marks the file or folder as hidden
[12:41] <Slart> xcucumber: files starting with a dot is hidden
[12:41] <mannyz> i have the game pinugs open :D and i cant close it. suggestions?
[12:42] <Dr_willis_> mannyz,  xkill, then click on the window :)
[12:42] <xcucumber> oh ok no wonder you cant see it under home folder
[12:42] <Dr_willis_> thats a little hardkore to kill somthing.. but it works.
[12:42] <Dr_willis_> :)
[12:42] <frost0> Slart,Photo1, here is my issue....i have all of the keys coming up.....with my calibrator....but in FAF i can only define buttons...and according to the calibrator my strum bar is not a button but a joystick of sorts...it moves up and down the axis....how would i make that become a button?
[12:42] <Photo1> Hey Dr_willis :)
[12:42] <Slart> xcucumber: many of the configurations folders residing in your home folder is hidden by default.. ie starts with a dot.. I guess it keeps the home folder from getting to messy
[12:42] <pajamian> xcucumber: if you change the setting to view hidden files you will see it.
[12:43] <xcucumber> oh how do you do that?
[12:43] <Photo1> frost0: You can use it fine in "other OSes"?
[12:43] <MissPenguin> that was fun. i clicked on terminal and was no longer here. :) please re-post that command
[12:43]  * Dr_willis_ thinks the home folder is still getting too messy :) i must have 200 . files for different programs.
[12:43] <xcucumber> hehe
[12:43] <Dr_willis_> MissPenguin,  you mean xkill ? hard to rember eh?
[12:43] <Slart> frost0: oh.. I never had those kinds of problems.. I have no idea.. perhaps there is some kind of filter you can configure.. have you searched for joystick in synaptic?
[12:43] <frost0> Photo1, it shows up in ubuntu...and the controller works on ps2...haven't tried on other os's...
[12:44] <pajamian> xcucumber: view menu, show hidden files
[12:44] <Photo1> no, gnome-volume-control
[12:44] <frost0> Slart, i guess i would like to change the strum bar to show up as a button :(
[12:44] <Photo1> It might be that the buttons are really axes
[12:44] <pajamian> heh, I'll repost the command as soon as she comes back
[12:44] <pawan> any software to plya flv files
[12:44] <Photo1> Which means Ubuntu is right, and PS2 just reads the axes as buttons
[12:45] <xcucumber> odd they're still hidden , i just have 1 file in the home folder: comp
[12:45] <woodsoul> pawan: vlc
[12:45] <pajamian> MissPenguin: that's another way to bring it up
[12:45] <pawan> how to install
[12:45] <Photo1> For example, my left and right rudder controls are z axis + and -, but most games let me use them as fire buttons
[12:45] <pajamian> MissPenguin: open a terminal and type: gnome-volume-control
[12:45] <Slart> pawan: mine plays automagically.. in totem I Think
[12:45] <MissPenguin> good grief. lol. im trying:)
[12:46] <pajamian> MissPenguin: you asked me to repost the command so I did when you came back
[12:46] <frost0> Slart, figured out what i need.
[12:46] <Slart> frost0: oh? what was it?
[12:46] <frost0> Slart, Joy2Key is what it is called for windows..
[12:46] <MissPenguin> pajamin: i see it. thank you:)
[12:46] <woodsoul> pawan: sudo apt-get install  vlc
[12:46] <Turel> does anyone help me to setup a direct smtp server ?
[12:46] <frost0> Slart, maps joy buttons to keyboard keys and then you can map the keys ....
[12:46] <pawan> ok
[12:46] <frost0> Slart, hope it has a port for *nix
[12:46] <encompass> hi
[12:47] <Slart> frost0: is it available for linux?
[12:47] <frost0> looks like it!
[12:47] <Photo1> Through Synaptic?
[12:47] <frost0> think..
[12:47] <frost0> it even recognizes star power..haha

[12:48] <user11_011> LukeLC: yes(but it has only sound options) , enabled even notification plugins and enabled notification area also.
[12:48] <Photo1> user11_011: might be because you need to register on irc, depends on which network youre on
[12:49] <Photo1> If you mean ICQ etc I dunno :)
[12:49] <frost0> Slart, no, how do i find this program once it is installed!
[12:49] <frost0> :P
[12:49] <Garito> hi
[12:49] <Slart> frost0: running joy2key in a terminal doesn't work?

[12:51] <user11_011> pajamian: all my buddies
[12:51] <frost0> Photo1, no...
[12:51] <frost0> Slart, k
[12:51] <ThreeFingerPete> hi, i just got a recomended flash plugin update and i know flash was busted last week. is todays flash update safe to get?
[12:51] <frost0> Slart, now what...
[12:51] <notpalomer> hmm
[12:52] <Slart> frost0: press enter?
[12:52] <notpalomer> I have flashflugin-nonfree installed
[12:52] <Pici> ThreeFingerPete: Yes, its fixed.
[12:52] <Dr_willis_> Excentrik,   its possible its some od framebuffer issue. could disable that.  I dont even know how to set/change console colors.
[12:52] <notpalomer> BUT facebook complains that I need to upgrade my flash
[12:52] <Pici> ThreeFingerPete: see /topic
[12:52] <pajamian> user11_011: apt-get install pidgin-guifications
[12:52] <ThreeFingerPete> Pici: thanks
[12:52] <Slart> ThreeFingerPete: it killed my, previously working, flash installation
[12:52] <user11_011> pajamian: cool. lemme try
[12:52] <aladdinsane> is there anything i need to think about or do before i change my graphics card?
[12:52] <Dr_willis_> so it may be a good idea to remove your prev. flash install :)
[12:53] <Pici> You may need to uninstall/reinstall flash if you used the 3rd party flash workaround.
[12:53] <pajamian> user11_011: then enable guifications under the tools / plugins menu
[12:53] <ThreeFingerPete> Slart: really? hmm. now i get a mixed message
[12:53] <Dr_willis_> aladdinsane,  going from an ati to a nvidia card? or what exactly?
[12:53] <Slart> ThreeFingerPete: I'm not saying it won't work for you.. it didn't for me
[12:53] <Excentrik> Dr_willis_, maybe. Let's google a bit more :P
[12:53] <frost0> Slart, okay it says -dev is to specify a target...my target is /dev/input/js0....so what do i do now?
[12:53] <ThreeFingerPete> Pici: not sure. I've had flash installed for months now
[12:53] <user11_011> pajamian: there is already a buddy notification [plugin . is it dead?
[12:53] <aladdinsane> Dr_willis_: yes thats exactly what im doing
[12:53] <frost0> Slart, to apply that?
[12:54] <pajamian> user11_011: you mean buddy state notification?  that's different
[12:54] <Slart> frost0: "joy2key -dev /dev/input/js0" perhaps..
[12:54] <user11_011> pajamian: what is that for?
[12:54] <frost0> Slart, it yells at me "MUST SPECIFY A TARGET!"
[12:54] <pajamian> user11_011: read the description.
[12:54] <frost0> Slart, i don't like when it yells at me :(
[12:55] <ThreeFingerPete> Slart: what the heck. i'll try and i'll win
[12:55] <Dr_willis_> aladdinsane,   You proberly want to check out the !nvida wiki  pages. to be safest i guess you could setup the xorg.conf to use the vesa driver befor swapping cards. Or after swaping cards. Manually edit the file from the console and set up the nv driver.. Or ask what the proper command is to reconfigure Xorg. (i never can rember it)
[12:55] <pajamian> user11_011: click the little arrow at the bottom that says details
[12:55] <Slart> frost0: sccchhh.. it's alright.. think of your happy place.. with puppies or whatever.. let me check the manual
[12:55] <user11_011> pajamian: it does configure to issue notifications when someone signs on/off
[12:55] <Slart> ThreeFingerPete: hehe.. let me know how it went
[12:55] <frost0> Slart, yes...puppies and guitar hero.. :)
[12:55] <Frogzoo> Dr_willis_: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[12:56] <rockzman> Can someone tell me a good tool for SQL database management
[12:56] <Dr_willis_> there ya go aladdinsane   <Frogzoo> Dr_willis_: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[12:56] <Dr_willis_> aladdinsane,  be sure to jot that down. :)
[12:56] <UcKen> I am trying to run this command: "syncml-obex-client -b 00:17:E4:EC:06:CD 14 --dumpinfo --slow-sync text/x-vcard Contacts --wbxml --identifier "PC Suite"" but when the phone says it has sent 300 of 543 contacts it just stops and has to be restarted. (The phone in question is a Nokia E65 btw). Anyone got any tips?
[12:56] <aladdinsane> Dr_willis_: ok, thanx i'll look into that
[12:57] <Sergo21> hi
[12:57] <pajamian> user11_011: buddy state notifications tells you in the _conversation_window_ when a buddy signs on or off.  guifications tells you via a little popup tooltip type window in the bottom right corner of your screen.  guifications is what I think you want.
[12:57] <Frogzoo> rockzman: mysql-admin
[12:57] <ThreeFingerPete> Slart: It worked for me
[12:57] <rockzman> Frogzoo, I need a GUI tool for MS-SQL
[12:57] <rockzman> not mysql
[12:57] <Frogzoo> rockzman: funny channel to ask
[12:57] <Slart> ThreeFingerPete: aww.. now I feel singled out.. I'm going to try reinstalling it
[12:58] <frost0> Slart, is it bad? :(
[12:58] <Pici> rockzman: ms-sql tool for Linux?
[12:58] <rockzman> Frogzoo, this is a linux channel which is a OS that includes a lot of kind of programs, do i must use mysql just because i am using linux
[12:58] <rockzman> Pici, something to manage and export data from my ms-sql
[12:58] <Sergo21> does ubuntu 7.10 have an firewall?
[12:58] <Slart> frost0: you have to specify which window to send these events to.. it gets tricky
[12:58] <rockzman> thatz all lol
[12:58] <Pici> !firewall | Sergo21
[12:58] <ubotu> Sergo21: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[12:59] <frost0> Slart, you can do it..
[12:59] <frost0> Slart, :)
[12:59] <ThreeFingerPete> Slart: Fingers are crossed for ya
[12:59] <Slart> frost0: ok... lets try this.. open a terminal.. run xwininfo
[12:59] <pajamian> rockzman: try rdesktop and log into the server that is hosting the ms-sql db and use the tools on that server.
[12:59] <rockzman> pajamian, brilliant idea
[12:59] <frost0> Slart, got the info.
[12:59] <frost0> Slart, pastebin
[12:59] <frost0> ?
[12:59] <rockzman> thank you
[12:59] <rockzman> lol
[12:59] <rockzman> noobish channel
[13:00] <user11_011> pajamian: oh god. enabling guifications sent all my account to all other's to make friend
[13:00] <Slart> frost0: the click the window you want to send these keyboard events too
[13:00] <pajamian> user11_011: huh?
[13:00] <user11_011> pajamian: oh god. enabling guifications sent all my account to all other's to make buddy
[13:00] <frost0> Slart, hold on.
[13:00] <frost0> please*
[13:00] <user11_011> pajamian: what to do
[13:00] <asdrubal> are there an good RPGs for ubuntu that are free?
[13:01] <koko___> hello, i want to connect to X with ssh, any ideas, tutorials ? i already configured ssh for X11 forwarding and i marked this option in a putty terminal to connect from win$
[13:01] <Slart> frost0: you should get about 10 lines or so with info.. in the top is a line that reads something like this  xwininfo: Window id: 0x4200003 "0| Ubuntu Server: #ubuntu"
[13:01] <frost0> Slart, people in forums i'm reading are saying try a different program that happens to have a .deb installer.
[13:01] <frost0> i have it but it is missing dependencies.
[13:01] <asdrubal> koko___, ssh -x
[13:01] <frost0> Slart, looks like this one has gui too.
[13:01] <pajamian> user11_011: I don't know what you mean, it only notifies you of what your buddies do, I've never had it "send" anything to a buddy.
[13:01] <Sergo21> hello, how to the system logs, recently the system has frozen and didn't respond (was needed to do restart)
[13:01] <asdrubal> koko___, I mean, ssh -X
[13:01] <Slart> frost0: ah.. sounds easier... what is the program called?
[13:01] <frost0> Slart,qjoypad.sf.net
[13:02] <Sergo21> =]
[13:02] <frost0> Slart, but again..missing dependencies..
[13:02] <Sergo21> probaly this couse an program installed from internet..
[13:02] <asdrubal> are there an good RPGs for ubuntu that are free?
[13:02] <Brakkvatn> What's the deal with the new flash update?
[13:02] <BLUE-BLUE> tung sije aJE MIR SI KLON
[13:02] <BLUE-BLUE> SHKA JE NI TU BA AJE NI MIR
[13:03] <asdrubal> are there an good RPGs for ubuntu that are free?
[13:03] <frost0> asdrubal, battle for wesnoth
[13:03] <xcucumber> when you copy a file, is the star to tell it to copy that file?
[13:03] <ThreeFingerPete> asdrubal: online games? Eve online is good
[13:03] <frost0> Slart, the dependency is libqt3c102-mt.....how do i get that via terminal?
[13:03] <pajamian> xcucumber: the * is a wildcard, it replaces any number of other characters.
[13:04] <asdrubal> eve costs money
[13:04] <Slart> !info libqt3-mt | frost0: might be this one
[13:04] <ubotu> frost0: might be this one: libqt3-mt (source: qt-x11-free): Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime version), Version 3. In component main, is optional. Version 3:3.3.8really3.3.7-0ubuntu11.1 (gutsy), package size 3222 kB, installed size 8920 kB
[13:04] <frost0> asdrubal, savage2
[13:04] <ThreeFingerPete> xcucumber: the star is a wildcard and it means all, so thr*fingerpete would become threefingerpete
[13:04] <xcucumber> so if it has a star, eg green*, it copies anythign that starts with green?
[13:04] <pajamian> xcucumber: right
[13:04] <ThreeFingerPete> xcucumber: thats correct
[13:04] <xcucumber> oh thanks :-)
[13:04] <frost0> Slart, i'm sorry if i'm asking too much but, what would i type in the terminal...i've done it before...but i don't remember the syntax :(
[13:05] <pawan> hi
[13:05] <pajamian> frost0: apt-get install qt-x11-free
[13:05] <Slart> frost0: no worries.. if I wanted to avoid people asking me questions I wouldn't be hanging out here, now would I =)
[13:06] <Slart> frost0: it's "sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt", sudo because you need to be root to install stuff.. apt-get is the program.. install tells it to .. install =).. and then the package name libqt3-mt
[13:06] <MissPenguin> i found the volume control. added it to lower right hand corner. still no sound. no, when i try and use terminal i get a black screen with smeared color for a few seconds then i have to sign in again
[13:07] <Slart> frost0: you can install stuff using synaptic too.. it has a gui, less typing more clicking
[13:07] <frost0> Slart, it says i have that file...
[13:07] <ThreeFingerPete> frost0: you can also type sudo aptitude install name
[13:07] <pajamian> MissPenguin: make sure that none of the controls have a red X over the speaker icon at the bottom, if they do, click on the X to un-mute, also make sure all the sliders are up.
[13:07] <Slart> frost0: what about pajamian's suggestion?
[13:08] <frost0> Slart, nothing
[13:09] <pajamian> frost0: are you trying to build something from source?  you might need a -dev package as well.
[13:09] <frost0> pajamian, its a .deb
[13:09] <MissPenguin> ok. no red x's. sliders are up to 86%
[13:10] <pajamian> MissPenguin: then chances are it's not a problem with muted sound.
[13:10] <Slart> frost0: hmm..if you double click the deb-file.. what does it say?
[13:10] <frost0> that error
[13:10] <frost0> Slart,
[13:10] <tbf> is there some policykit package for gutsy?
[13:11] <Brakkvatn> The flashplugin-nonfree is broken again
[13:11] <Slart> frost0: could you copy it verbatim for me?
[13:11] <user11_011> pajamian: the error is if u have a group other than "Buddies" then all those ids will be copied to buddies and all ur previous add buddy requests will again be sent .
[13:11] <user11_011> pajamian: with those email ids
[13:11] <doktoreas_> hello everybody
[13:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Brakkvatn: How is it broken?
[13:11] <pajamian> user11_011: that certainly didn't happen to me when I added the guifications plugin.
[13:12] <doktoreas_> is there a way for monitoring all the traffic from differents ip inside a lan?
[13:12] <frost0> Slart, Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt3c102-mt
[13:12] <doktoreas_> i mean external traffic
[13:12] <Brakkvatn> Jack_Sparrow: The MD5-sum differs when it downloads the file from adobe.
[13:12] <pajamian> user11_011: what network(s) are you on?
[13:12] <Slart> frost0: hmm. and there is no such package in ubuntu..
[13:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Brakkvatn: Get it from the repos... not the point and click inside firefox
[13:13] <frost0> Slart, there is a source package..
[13:13] <user11_011> pajamian: i have two google id's
[13:13] <frost0> Slart, is that another way it would work?
[13:13] <Slart> Brakkvatn: try removing the old one.. that did it for me
[13:13] <pajamian> user11_011: ok, I have a google talk account that I use pidgin for, I've never had a problem with it.
[13:14] <pajamian> user11_011: I don't think this particular problem is because of the guifications.
[13:14] <user11_011> pajamian: i have two google id's and all buddies of both gave away authorize requests for adding buddy of the other id.
[13:14] <Slart> frost0: there is always a way.. but some ways take more time than others. =)
[13:14] <frost0> Slart, idea!what if i download alien....and then get the .rpm and then make it into a .deb?
[13:15] <user11_011> pajamian: i have made two buddy groups one named "Buddies" another with "xyz"
[13:15] <frost0> Slart, possible?
[13:15] <pajamian> user11_011: but unfortunately I can't help anymore, I have to head off (wife is calling me to bed) and I really don't know what the problem is anyways, try the IRC channel for pidgin, you may get better help there, I would guess #pidgin, probably.
[13:15] <Slart> frost0: ouch..
[13:15] <Slart> !rpm
[13:15] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[13:15] <user11_011> pajamian: how nice. have a nice ....
[13:15] <frost0> Slart, huh
[13:15] <orlandoj> hi, how can i install Acrobat Connect Add-in on firefox ?
[13:15] <Slart> frost0: if you want to be wild and crazy.. go ahead =)
[13:15] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: Not a good idea
[13:15] <frost0> Slart, no..i just want it to work :)
[13:15] <tdn> How can a device (partition) exist in fdisk -l but not in /dev? I am trying to mount a partition from an USB harddisk enclosure, but this is what happens: http://thomasdamgaard.dk/paste/P1062.html
[13:16] <frost0> Slart, uh so...compiling from source not an option?
[13:16] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: We all want everything to work. but do you want to risk everything else to get it going
[13:16] <Slart> frost0: compiling from source is better than the rpm
[13:16] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, no sir.
[13:16] <Slart> frost0: but it might have the same dependencies.. do you have compiling instructions?
[13:16] <frost0> Slart, nope.
[13:16] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: Avoid alien
[13:17] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, will do.
[13:17] <Slart> frost0: no info at all? just a source archive?

[13:21] <frost0> Slart, on their website...
[13:21] <bazhang> baghyay: what is the issue?
[13:22] <bueno>  :(
[13:22] <IdleOne> Morning! this question is no ubuntu specific but I would like to know where I can get a list of distros that support my hardware. ( ubuntu has an issue with my hardware hopefully fixed soon )
[13:22] <baghyay> i remaster my ubuntu & i want to try my iso but when i run it  i have this problem
[13:22] <bueno> que
[13:22] <frost0> Slart, now what?
[13:22] <bueno> nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[13:22] <Slart> frost0: then we start with "./config"
[13:22] <bazhang> IdleOne: what hardware?
[13:22] <baghyay> ""VBox status code: -1909 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE)
[13:23] <Slart> frost0: it will start all kinds of tests to see if everything is ready for the actual compile
[13:23] <IdleOne> bazhang, acerpower s290. specificaly the onboard NIC
[13:23] <frost0> Slart, no such file or directory?
[13:23] <bazhang> bueno: english please and fewer o's ;]
[13:23] <tbf> ah, found a package in ppa
[13:23] <Slart> frost0: are you in the correct folder?
[13:23] <bueno> ya capollo
[13:23] <bazhang> IdleOne: just a second
[13:23] <frost0> Slart, there was a subfolder called src
[13:23] <Slart> frost0: ok.. cd src then
[13:24] <bueno> y tu nombre
[13:24] <Slart> frost0: then try ./config
[13:24] <bueno>  es raroooooooooooooooo
[13:24] <IdleOne> !es | bueno
[13:24] <ubotu> bueno: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[13:24] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: You wont find a list like that, you will find lists of what each distro supports...  or distrowatch... best bet is a forum with your hardware
[13:24] <frost0> Slart, then make?
[13:24] <Slart> frost0: no error messages? if not.. make
[13:25] <bueno> gracias
[13:25] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow, been googling all morning cant seem to find anything. ultimately I would like to get Ubuntu back on my pc and working properly
[13:25] <Slart> frost0: and when that finishes.. "sudo make install"
[13:25] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: What hardware is the issue
[13:25] <frost0> Slart, make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/share/qt3/mkspecs/default/qmake.conf', needed by `Makefile'.  Stop.
[13:25] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow, the onboard NIC
[13:25] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: Selecting a distro for something like a wifi card is just silly,, (my opinion)
[13:26] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow, not wifi
[13:26] <Slart> frost0: then ./config didn't finish properly.. try running it again... check the last 10 lines or so for any error messages
[13:26] <frost0> Slart, ./config: line 51: qmake: command not found
[13:26] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow, I agree but I cant seem to get it working and I just dont like using windows. feel like I am a slave :/
[13:27] <frost0> Slart, qmake?
[13:27] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: Pick a distro that you like with good support and make whatever hardware change is necessary
[13:27] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: What card is it?
[13:27] <Slart> frost0: ah..  we install it.. "sudo apt-get install qt3-dev-tools"
[13:27] <RMWChaos> Hello, I'm a Windows-aholic trying to go Linux, and am having trouble following the instructions to configure my wireless LAN...

[13:28] <Jack_Sparrow> RMWChaos: Which instructions?
[13:28] <bazhang> IdleOne: is the sis mirage graphics chip?
[13:28] <IdleOne> bazhang, yeah
[13:28] <cocox_> i can't use my audio device with vmware because its being used by another program, is there some way to check who is using /dev/dsp ????
[13:28] <RMWChaos> from this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/CompaqW200?action=fullsearch&value=linkto%3A%22WifiDocs%2FDevice%2FCompaqW200%22&context=180
[13:28] <IdleOne> bazhang, graphics work fine though issue is with internet
[13:28] <iari> Does anyone know how to access files on / from VirtualBox ?
[13:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !sound > cocox_
[13:29] <bazhang> IdleOne: wired or wireless?
[13:29] <IdleOne> wired
[13:29] <frost0> Slart, tons more errors now...all starting with q's :)
[13:29] <Jack_Sparrow> iari: That is a wild and dangerous thing to do
[13:29] <Slart> frost0: what's the first error you see?
[13:29] <RMWChaos> I am a bit unclear about the prerequisite packages and how to get them
[13:29] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=579413 IdleOne this guy got it going--though not a helpful thread really
[13:30] <Slart> frost0: or you could pastebin the whole thing..
[13:30] <Slart> !paste | frost0
[13:30] <ubotu> frost0: 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)
[13:30] <Jack_Sparrow> RMWChaos: Dependencies?
[13:30] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: what does lspci show
[13:30] <neko_> is someone know well the zip command line syntax ?
[13:30] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow, I am in windows at the momment
[13:31] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: even easier.. go to the hardware manager
[13:31] <levander> I see a little icon for my DAP in rhythmbox, but now, how do I move music to it?
[13:31] <frost0> Slart, http://pastebin.com/d4e0a4885
[13:31] <Slart> frost0: no.. run ./config again
[13:31] <Jack_Sparrow> RMWChaos: I am not a wifi person, but I will take a look in a minute
[13:31] <RMWChaos> Sorry, not sure what your question is about dependencies
[13:31] <[revamped]> levander : go to music and add folder or file
[13:31] <neko_> i would recursively zip a folder and not having the whole path inside the zip file
[13:32] <Photo1> Hmm. configure couldn't install cooledit. Should I have extracted the archive to another place? Is there a preferred extraction folder for installs?
[13:32] <Jack_Sparrow> RMWChaos:Dependencies are the prerequisites
[13:32] <RMWChaos> my problem is not with wifi specifically at the moment, but rather how to use sudo
[13:32] <Jack_Sparrow> sorry for the spelling, still early
[13:32] <frost0> Slart, same
[13:32] <bazhang> Realtek RTL8211B IdleOne this seems to be it
[13:32] <frost0> Slart, did ./config then make....and i get those errors
[13:32] <levander> [revamped]: well, i clicked on Music and have all the music I have on my computer listed in the bottom window on the right.  But, I'm not sure what you mean by add folder or file.
[13:32] <Jack_Sparrow> RMWChaos: sudo then the command you need to run as root
[13:32] <RMWChaos> instructions say to type this: sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion linux-headers-`uname -r` gcc-3.4-base cpp-3.4 curl
[13:32] <Slart> frost0: pastebin the output from ./config
[13:32] <Jack_Sparrow> brb
[13:33] <Photo1> Because I don't believe that my updated Gutsy has a gcc that "can't create executables" as config.log says :)
[13:33] <neko_> ex.: zip -r myzip.zip  /home/me/myfolder
[13:33] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow, SIS191 ethernet controller
[13:33] <[revamped]> levander if u added folders and files in rythmic . thn just play the songs
[13:33] <Slart> Photo1: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[13:33] <neko_> it make a zip with the /home as root
[13:33] <frost0> Slart, http://pastebin.com/d3557ceff
[13:34] <neko_> and i would have /home/me/myfolder as root of the zip content
[13:34] <levander> [revamped]: the question is, how do I add the songs to my DAP (digital audio player, a portable one)?
[13:34] <Jack_Sparrow> RMWChaos: try without subversion
[13:35] <SaSav> hihihihhihihihihihihi

[13:36] <RMWChaos> so I type exactly as it says? I didn't understand if it meant to replace words like "subversion" and "build-essential" with the actual package names or something
[13:36] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow, I recall reading that I needed to disable the onboard niic and then install a NIC card that is supported. my Realtek 8029(AS). but I do not know how to disable the onboard from bios and honestly dont want to mess with what I dont know
[13:36] <Slart> RMWChaos: type what it says.. those are packages
[13:36] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: one sec..
[13:36] <Jack_Sparrow> RMWChaos: type it just like you showed me  minus the last word subversion

[13:37] <RMWChaos> ok, will try that

[13:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Photo1: it looks for the cd, since the cd is still in your list.. go to synaptic - repos and de-select it
[13:38] <Slart> Photo1: there are many places to install apps.. I guess most goes into /usr/local or just /usr.. depends on what kind of app it is

[13:38] <kn4rF> hello, is there anywhere a 8.04 changelog?
[13:38] <Photo1> Slart: Right, that what I figured. I can make a folder called app/ (and one called install/) in /usr/local ?
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> kn4rF: Please ask in Ubuntu+1
[13:39] <kn4rF> where?
[13:39] <bazhang> IdleOne: lots of folks have had trouble with the controller--across the spectrum--the link I gave you seems to be the best shot outside of getting another ethernet card
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: Easy to disable the onboard one... just go into the bios and tell it not to use it.
[13:39] <kn4rF> ok
[13:39] <Slart> Photo1: well.. you could.. I don't think you'll break anything if you do.. but I think there are better ways
[13:40] <frost0> Slart, make is actually taking time now!
[13:40] <Slart> Photo1: what are you installing?
[13:40] <a-i-t> hei
[13:40] <Slart> frost0: hehe.. it usually does
[13:40] <Photo1> cooledit (and yes I checked in Synaptic first :))
[13:40] <a-i-t> ubuntu suck
[13:40] <IdleOne> bazhang, thanks for that link I will take a closer look at it. Jack_Sparrow what worries me is that I dont want to "break" anything
[13:40] <bazhang> a-i-t: not a popular opinion around here and offtopic ;]
[13:41] <RMWChaos> tried without subversion, and replaced 'uname -r' with 2.6.22-14-generic,  but then got error that it couldn't find package gcc-3.4-base...let me make sure I copied that line verbatim
[13:41] <carl-> is there a repo with the mapi for evolution out there ???
[13:41] <Jack_Sparrow> PriceChild: You are way fast this am...  I didnt even get op'd up and you had him
[13:41] <carl-> would really like to give mapi on evolution a try
[13:41] <bazhang> IdleOne: you could alternately try a livecd of any number of distros and see if they recognize it
[13:42] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow, I am going to give a shot to disabling from bios . bazhang the Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 live cd dont have internet
[13:42] <Xsss4hell> hi
[13:42] <RMWChaos> yes, typed it correctly; however, the instructions are for ubuntu 6.06 and above...any changes by 7.10 I wonder
[13:43] <IdleOne> be back in a bit
[13:43] <bazhang> IdleOne: I meant outside of ubuntu /me ducks ;]

[13:43] <Slart> frost0: pastebin it
[13:43] <frost0> Slart, its like thousands of lines..
[13:43] <Slart> CosmicB: I run 64bit on an amd if that helps
[13:43] <CosmicB> do I download the amd64 iso image then (??)
[13:44] <Slart> frost0: just the last 10-20 lines will be enough
[13:44] <Slart> CosmicB: yes
[13:44] <Xsss4hell> Please Help Me! I want Rhthmbox to copy the playlists int /media/disk/PLAYLISTS and my mp3 files into /media/disk/MUSIC

[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> RMWChaos: Did you read the link on compiling, since this is your first time at this
[13:53] <Slart> frost0: no errors is good.. try "sudo make install".. remember, you have to be root to install applications
[13:53] <frost0> Slart, it took like 1 sec.
[13:54] <RMWChaos> jack_sparrow: it said build-essential was already installed, so yes, I assume that worked
[13:54] <frost0> Slart, now what?
[13:54] <Slart> frost0: try running it

[14:02] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Greetings. I've had to make some tweaking on Ubuntu's  JRE to be able to run eclipse (Basically: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre | sudo update-alternatives --config java | Choosing version 1.5.0), but after that my Internet Banking (which is Java Based) stopped working. How can I solve this, is there a way to make Firefox use a different (downgraded, maybe?) version?
[14:03] <AdvoWork> is it possible to see if a cron job ran, and if not, why not?
[14:03] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Update: Without messing with Eclipse, of course...
[14:04] <MissPenguin_> how can i fix terminal?
[14:04] <Schiz0> AdvoWork: Have the cron script output some data (use 'echo "text"'), then have it mail you - put MAILTO=your@address.tld
[14:04] <Schiz0> then it will mail you the output from a script
[14:04] <AdvoWork> Schiz0 the cron job should run a script, i tested that yesterday and it ran through and did what it was supposed to :s but ive just checked, and it doesnt seem like its done what i wanted
[14:05] <Photo1> make fails. Could someone here see what is wrong, or should I email the author?
[14:05] <AdvoWork> ill try that mailto thing though, but can i check if it ran today or not?
[14:05] <Schiz0> AdvoWork: is there a /var/log/cron.log ?
[14:05] <Schiz0> I don't use Ubuntu so I'm not sure exactly
[14:05] <Schiz0> Photo1: pastebin the log of the output
[14:05] <Schiz0> Photo1: what are you trying to make?
[14:05] <Photo1> The first errors are that it can't find certain .h files in X11
[14:06] <brobostigon> Schiz0: why are you here if you dont use ubuntu, this is ubuntu support.
[14:06] <Photo1> Installing cooledit (text editor)
[14:06] <Schiz0> brobostigon: Because I know how to use Ubuntu. ANd I'm too lazy to type /part
[14:06] <AdvoWork> Schiz0 nope, nothing called cron in /var/log
[14:06] <Photo1> Schiz0: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55077/
[14:07] <brobostigon> Schiz0: how can you know how to use ubuntu if you dont use ubuntu??
[14:07] <zappitelli16> Can someone help me sort out my wireless network problems?
[14:08] <Schiz0> brobostigon: Fine, you deal with the people I'm helping. Good luck.
[14:08] <Photo1> brobostigon: It might be completely possible that he does tech support for Ubuntu, but uses another distro himself ;)
[14:09] <brobostigon> schiz0: sorry if i offended you,
[14:09] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Greetings. I've had to make some tweaking on Ubuntu's  JRE to be able to run eclipse (Basically: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre | sudo update-alternatives --config java | Choosing version 1.5.0), but after that my Internet Banking (which is Java Based) stopped working. How can I solve this, is there a way to make Firefox use a different (downgraded, maybe?) version without messing with Eclipse?
[14:09] <Jack_Sparrow> brobostigon: Just a quick point, I helped out in here for quite awhile while still using another distro until I decided to make the switch.  Bothe were debian based and very similar.
[14:10] <Photo1> He left in disgust :)
[14:10] <woodsoul> brobostigon: he just left
[14:10] <Photo1> Yeah, he could know how to use Ubuntu but prefer another distro ;)
[14:10] <AdvoWork> Schiz0 found the error,using webmin :s
[14:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !webmin
[14:11] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.
[14:11] <AdvoWork> my script does: ./etc/init.d/samba restart and its saying No Such file or directory
[14:11] <Photo1> So Jack_Sparrow: make needs .h files that don't exist in X11/, but configure said yes ok good: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55077/
[14:11] <brobostigon> soory if i offended anyone, i will leave and feel sorry for what i have done, very sorry to everyone,
[14:11] <AdvoWork> Jack_Sparrow ?
[14:11] <jrib> AdvoWork: get rid of the first dot
[14:11] <Slart> AdvoWork: is there a dot there at the start? if so, remove it
[14:11] <AdvoWork> ahhh
[14:12] <jrib> ZaphodBeeblebrox: what was it before you ran update-alternatives?

[14:13] <jrib> ZaphodBeeblebrox: yes, that's what I meant
[14:13] <zappitelli16> How do I intall a file that I have downloaded?

[14:13] <AdvoWork> all working now, thanks guys
[14:13] <jrib> !flash > zappitelli16 (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:14] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> jrib: Sorry, I can't remember... If I run the update-alternatives again it should show me, right?
[14:14] <jrib> ZaphodBeeblebrox: it will show you all the options yes

[14:16] <aniac> mahmud2 I use GParted but it doesn't do anything at all... just "scanning all devices" all the time...

[14:18] <gilad_> hello i need some help pls
[14:18] <bazhang> Heatryn: is that 64 bit intel? not familiar with it
[14:18] <bazhang> ask away gilad_
[14:19] <Slart> Heatryn: is the T7500 a 64-bit processor?
[14:19] <gilad_> I cannot write in hebrew in ubuntu

[14:20] <Pici> !caps | gilad_
[14:20] <jrib> ZaphodBeeblebrox: wait
[14:20] <ubotu> gilad_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[14:20] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> jrib: Yes?
[14:20] <popey> CraZy675: sudo apt-get install <packagename>
[14:20] <Slart> !lamp | CraZy675
[14:20] <ubotu> CraZy675: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

[14:20] <ubuntuisloved> anyone know what causes sleep and hibernation to fail
[14:20] <toplok> isn't vmware-player no longer supported in Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[14:20] <Slart> ubuntuisloved: hardware not following standards.. afaik
[14:21] <toplok> I can't install it from add-remove

[14:21] <gilad_> ok somone can help my pls  ?
[14:21] <CraZy675> no there is an easier way I just forget what it is

[14:21] <jrib> ZaphodBeeblebrox: and 'ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/'
[14:21] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> jrib: I still can cancel the whole thing by not agreeing with Sun's License Term. Should I?
[14:21] <CraZy675> pretty sure it was a dpkg command that ran the install program that's on the server disc
[14:22] <jrib> ZaphodBeeblebrox: I guess it's ok to install it and try it if you want
[14:22] <toplok> could someone confirm if vmware-player works or not in ubuntu 7.10 ?
[14:22] <bazhang> toplok: vmware-server is, not sure about player--it is in the repos
[14:22] <popey> CraZy675: apt is preferable over dpkg, it will keep packages up to date, dpkg wont
[14:22] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> jrib: ok, just a minute, please
[14:22] <bazhang> toplok: use it all the time--very easy to setup btw
[14:22] <toplok> bazhang, yes, it is there, but it can't be installed.
[14:22] <toplok> bazhang, in 7.10
[14:23] <bazhang> toplok: how did you try to install it and what error message did you get
[14:23] <toplok> bazhang, VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386).
[14:23] <CraZy675> popey true
[14:23] <toplok> bazhang, I am using core quad Q6600
[14:24] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> jrib: Problem persists, as if I did nothing, I'm pasting at pastebin, just a sec
[14:24] <bazhang> toplok: aha what about vmware-server?
[14:24] <ubuntuisloved> popey: suspend was working though
[14:24] <toplok> bazhang, is it free ?
[14:24] <bazhang> toplok: as in no charge yes
[14:24] <popey> ubuntuisloved: what changed?
[14:25] <toplok> bazhang, is it available from add-remove ?
[14:25] <ubuntuisloved> popey: last i remember just basic updates and i think i turned on the nvidia driver
[14:25] <Feanix> bazhang: Thanks a lot, "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" worked! I had to guess the answer to most questions, I hope I did not screw anything up, but the display wokrs great again!
[14:25] <popey> ubuntuisloved: the nvidia drive would likely be the cause
[14:25] <bazhang> toplok: no idea never use it--enable gutsy canonical partner in synaptic update sources list then search for it and try to install it
[14:25] <ubuntuisloved> popey: under restrictions the nvidia is off
[14:25] <bazhang> Feanix: nice work!
[14:26] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/895015
[14:26] <ubuntuisloved> popey: where is the log for debugging
[14:26] <bazhang> me notices the message about flash being fixed is absent from the topic
[14:26] <popey> ubuntuisloved: have you restarted since you used the nvidia driver to unload it?
[14:26] <toplok> bazhang, should I use sudo apt-get install vmware-server ?
[14:27] <LjL> bazhang: that's because it's not only fixed but available (i would assume) in every mirror, so people will just find out when they turn on their computer
[14:27] <bazhang> toplok: after you have added the repo in synaptic yes--though you will have to get the free key from www.vmware.com
[14:27] <bazhang> LjL: thanks!
[14:28] <bazhang> toplok: enable the repo; download it; get the free key from vmware site; enter the key; finish installation--voila!

[14:29] <emosamurai> I was wondering how I could make it so everything I do over the Internet, including IRC, goes through a proxy server.
[14:29] <emosamurai> Is that possible?
[14:29] <emosamurai> My knowledge of Ubuntu is patchwork at best
[14:29] <ubuntuisloved> popey: i gotta step out so i'll debug later
[14:29] <popey> emosamurai: yes, using ssh tunnel or a vpn
[14:29] <emosamurai> vpn?
[14:29] <emosamurai> Free service?
[14:29] <LjL> emosamurai: you'd have to define which sort of proxy server you mean.
[14:30] <emosamurai> Is there a way to get a free vpn?
[14:30] <emosamurai> Anonymizing

[14:30] <bazhang> tor? emosamurai
[14:30] <emosamurai> Well, one that doesn't give out my ip address
[14:30] <popey> oh yes, tor
[14:30] <bazhang> not for irc if I recall correctly emosamurai
[14:30] <Blue_Sassley> !tor > Blue_Sassley
[14:30] <bazhang> at least not freenode
[14:31] <LjL> bazhang: freenode allows Tor, except during times when there's high levels of abuse
[14:31] <bahadunn> how can I import the ubuntu archive key in debian?
[14:31] <LjL> bazhang: #ubuntu doesn't however
[14:31] <LjL> bahadunn: why would you do that?
[14:31] <bazhang> LjL: ah thanks again!
[14:31] <bahadunn> LjL: so I can maintain a ubuntu mirror on a debian server and so that debmirror can verify the signatures

[14:32] <emosamurai> Thanks, LjL and bazhang
[14:32] <LjL> bahadunn: ah. sounds much better than what i was suspecting. well i don't know about debmirror, but perhaps you can just do this?
[14:32] <LjL> !gpgerr | bahadunn
[14:32] <bazhang> np
[14:32] <ubotu> bahadunn: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys <key> ; gpg --export --armor <key> | sudo apt-key add »
[14:33] <bahadunn> yeah that is what I need I think
[14:33] <bahadunn> let me try it
[14:34] <nepbabu> bahadunn, all you are doing there is getting pub keys from the server and importing it to your keyring
[14:34] <LjL> nepbabu: so skip the apt-key add step?
[14:34] <LjL> or not, perhaps you should tell gpg to add them to the keyring rather
[14:34] <nepbabu> no idea man
[14:35] <jrib> ZaphodBeeblebrox: yes, now I did

[14:42] <jrib> jamesm: do you understand how to use rename now?
[14:42] <neko__> his name is mc right ?
[14:42] <jamesm> I don't think rename would give me enough variables..  anyone know of another tool  -- looks like I could write a perl script to do the task..GUess I need to dig out that O'Reilly book

[14:48] <Burt> Slart, it says i can...
[14:48] <jamesm> I wonder if F-SPot has a GUI option that would rename in accordance with the Directory name
[14:48] <Slart> Burt: then just rename the executable.. qjoy-whatever it was called
[14:49] <Slart> Burt: then it wont run
[14:49] <Burt> Slart, whats the rename command via the terminal?
[14:49] <Slart> Burt: mv currentfilename newfilename

[14:52] <Burt> not there..
[14:52] <Burt> Slart, uh....is there a search option?
[14:52] <Slart> Burt: type this "whereis qjoypad"

[14:56] <bahadunn> any idea how to get debmirror working with ubuntu gpg key?

[14:56] <enzo> kino will be ok with this format ali1234?
[14:57] <ali1234> enzo: probably not, no. mpeg is rather hard to edit.
[14:57] <enzo> kino doesn't use ffmpeg ?
[14:57] <fotbollen> hi, i cant install ubuntu alternative on my new intelbased computer. It stops when finalizing the setup. cant seem to get the kernel installted?
[14:57] <ali1234> enzo: not quite that simple unfortunately
[14:57] <maximilion> Hardware Information can read the vendor info etc right, and I've turned Advanced Mode off.
[14:58] <enzo> ffmpeg -i foo.ts out.mpeg, and then kino, i'm sure it will be ok, i check
[14:58] <fotbollen> error: exiting on error base-installer/kenel/failed-install
[14:58] <maximilion> What's the URL to that list of sound card drivers again?
[14:58] <maximilion> My UA-1EX was on the list with a build that I could use
[14:59] <Burt> Slart, so is that program jacked up?...it works...but, i can't run any other programs after it :(
[14:59] <Burt> Slart, it is sort of weird.
[14:59] <ali1234> enzo: if you convert the ts, often you will lose a/v sync
[14:59] <maximilion> Or should I use some 'Synaptic for drivers'?
[14:59] <maximilion> To search for my card?
[14:59] <Slart> Burt: it kills gnome?
[14:59] <enzo> i check ali1234, ffmpeg is sooo magic
[14:59]  * maximilion kills gnomes!!
[14:59] <Burt> Slart, locks it up
[14:59] <fotbollen> Unable to isntall the selected kernel, Kernal Package linux-generic
[14:59] <fotbollen> what should i do
[14:59] <Slart> Burt: that's odd..
[14:59] <Burt> Slart, the errors in the terminal say...something about x
[14:59] <Burt> Slart, but it shows up and runs..
[14:59] <Jay955> i notice when i creat a new user accound it make a folder for that person on my primary drive is there a way to creat that folder on my secondary drive
[15:00] <ali1234> enzo: let me know if it works... the only solution i found was the unofficial virtual-dub with mpeg2 support (which is windows)

[15:00] <danbhfive> Jay955: it makes a folder under /home, right?
[15:00] <luc|f3r> im thinking of putting linux on my dell inspiron 6400 and i was wondering if ubuntu will work with this wireless card: Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card
[15:00] <Jay955> yes
[15:01] <maximilion> Thanks jamesm! Checking it out...
[15:01] <ali1234> enzo: no i'm from UK where we have dvb-t freeview. i assume it is similar... mpeg2 over digital broadcast. i have a USB receiver and i use mythtv
[15:01] <jamesm> np
[15:01] <danbhfive> Jay955: well, the most common solution is to put the whole /home folder on another driver
[15:01] <jamesm> max -- I meant alsa -- whoops

[15:02] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r: boot on the LiveCD and test
[15:02] <bazhang> luc|f3r: you have the livecd?
[15:02] <Burt> Slart, here's whats happening....i run it...then send it too the tray and then.....i can't open any other programs..but can still navigate gnome....(sigh)
[15:02] <danbhfive> Jay955: but, I suppose its possible to do something similar for one specific account
[15:02] <Slart> Burt: mouse works? keyboard works?
[15:02] <luc|f3r> no i dont :(
[15:02] <Burt> Slart, yep
[15:02] <ditt0> Hey, is there a way to undo installed updates.... flashplugin-nonfree was updated and now flash doesnt work in firefox
[15:02] <Slart> Burt: can't click on things?
[15:02] <danbhfive> Jay955: if you need help with that, let me know
[15:02] <jamesm> Burt -- you have terminal open while you are in this state that is functional?
[15:02] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, you should try that... I bet it will work
[15:02] <Burt> Slart, can click on things..just don't open
[15:03] <luc|f3r> i dont really like livecds lol
[15:03] <Jay955> ok thanks will take a look it
[15:03] <Slart> ditt0: "sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree".. then just install it using firefox
[15:03] <luc|f3r> i installed gentoo off the live cd and holly crap that was hard lol
[15:03] <bazhang> luc|f3r: the best way to test would be as Blue_Sassley suggests; download and then run it--nothing will be installed and we can troubleshoot more effectively that way ;]
[15:03] <Slart> Burt: can you move icons around on the desktop?
[15:03] <Burt> jamesm, i usually have the terminal open but no i used  a shortcut
[15:03] <danbhfive> ditt0: with the flash plugin package, all it does is copy a file to your plugins folder
[15:03] <_5> ahh
[15:03] <ditt0> Slart: thanks!
[15:03] <_5> ok
[15:03] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, but you are not installing you are just testing
[15:03] <_5> ok
[15:03] <Burt> Slart, now it is just plain slow
[15:03] <Jay955> i'm new on linux and having a hard time with all the commands LOL
[15:03] <Burt> Slart, deathly slow
[15:03] <_5> me
[15:03] <Slart> Burt: do you have a terminal open?
[15:04] <luc|f3r> what processor do i need?
[15:04] <luc|f3r> CPU: Genuine Intel T2050
[15:04] <maximilion> jamesm: Do I need any extra alsa stuff? I have base, utils etc
[15:04] <luc|f3r> its a duo core
[15:04] <Burt> Slart, opening*
[15:04] <danbhfive> Slart: Question, will purging the flash package delete the plugin too?  since the plugin is not part of the package?
[15:04] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, to run the live CD?
[15:04] <luc|f3r> 64bit?
[15:04] <ali1234> argh, my HD *is* dying...
[15:04] <bazhang> luc|f3r: that will do very nicely--the question is the wireless though ;]
[15:04] <maximilion> jamesm: I'm on a new and updated Gutsy
[15:04] <luc|f3r> ya
[15:04] <Slart> danbhfive: I don't really know.. all I know is it worked for me =)
[15:04] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, I have  T7500 and I use the 32bit
[15:04] <Burt> Slart, it is just trying to load stuff but...
[15:04] <Burt> Slart, no avail
[15:04] <danbhfive> Slart: cool beans  :)
[15:04] <Jay955> brb
[15:05] <bazhang> luc|f3r: if you tell us the card we can give you an answer ;]
[15:05] <rsfriends> how can i upgrade  ubuntu   tom 7.10
[15:05] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, but I know some have had troubles and used the 64bit
[15:05] <rsfriends> in terminal
[15:05] <Slart> Burt: ok.. remember this.. ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to gnome... remember it?
[15:05] <Burt> yes.
[15:05] <bazhang> !upgrade | rsfriends
[15:05] <danbhfive> rsfriends: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade                          Thats one way
[15:05] <ubotu> rsfriends: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[15:05] <Burt> Slart, uh...then?.. :)
[15:05] <rsfriends> k thx
[15:05] <bazhang> np
[15:05] <Blue_Sassley> bazhang, luc|f3r said his card was a Dell 1390
[15:05] <jamesm> Burt -- sorry Slart -- I am coming into this a bit late...but "top" might shed some light on where the bog is
[15:06] <Burt> jamesm, it is all opening now..
[15:06] <Slart> Burt: now.. read the whole line before you do this.. press ctrl+alt+f1.. you'll get to a terminal... write "sudo pkill qjoypad" .. memorize it all.. to get back.. press ctrl+alt+f7
[15:06] <fotbollen> Unable to isntall the selected kernel, Kernel Package linux-generic <- what should i do? freshinstall ubuntu 7.10
[15:06] <jamesm> ?
[15:06] <luc|f3r> wheres the livecd? lol
[15:06] <Burt> Slart, it is loading now...barely...it took a good 5 minutes
[15:06] <luc|f3r> i found a cd but it doesnt say live lol
[15:06] <Burt> Slart, still do the same command though?
[15:06] <Slart> jamesm: oh. .we know who the culprit is =) but thanks anyway
[15:06] <Slart> Burt: yes
[15:07] <Burt> Slart, i'm the culprit...:(
[15:07] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[15:07] <Slart> jamesm: I'm kind of working on your little renaming script in the background here =)
[15:07] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, the normal CD is a LiveCD
[15:07] <luc|f3r> AH okay lol
[15:08] <maximilion> Aww <3 http://www.michaelminn.com/linux/mmusbaudio/README.html <-jamesm
[15:08] <luc|f3r> is there a walkthrough to install?
[15:08] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, yeah look on the ubuntu forums
[15:09] <Burt> Slart, its not kicking me out to ohcrap@ubuntu
[15:09] <maximilion> Should I try Synaptic or apt-get before downloading?
[15:09] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587549 luc|f3r
[15:09] <Slart> Burt: it didn't work?
[15:09] <fotbollen> damn bugs
[15:09] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
[15:09] <Burt> Slart, i login via terminal and never get kicked out to ohcrap@ubuntu
[15:09] <Burt> to run commands
[15:09] <jamesm> slart -- Cool..I was trying to catch up on what your issue was exactly..but I missed too much of the conversation...is the app your running java driven?
[15:10] <jamesm> MAX:  let me check that site out
[15:10] <ali1234> i have aq feeling this box was turned off in the middle of an update
[15:10] <Slart> jamesm: nope.. it's a thing to convert joystick input into keyboard input.. to emulate a digital joypad using a normal joystick
[15:10] <danbhfive> !tab > jamesm
[15:11] <Slart> Burt: I don't quite understand... how did you login via a terminal?
[15:11] <Blue_Sassley> !install > Blue_Sassley
[15:11] <Burt> Slart, control alt f1...asks me to login
[15:11] <Burt> Slart, i do.
[15:11] <ikonia> Burt kicked to ohcrap@ubuntu what are you talking about ?
[15:11] <Slart> Burt: ah.. you're on another computer..
[15:12] <Slart> Burt: well.. you entered your username and password.. and then what? nothing happens?
[15:12] <luc|f3r> so when i go into the livecd how am i suspose to test the card?
[15:12] <Burt> Slart, then it gives me the terminal warranty....but never my user@ubuntu: prompt
[15:12] <Burt> Slart, yep
[15:12] <Slart> Burt: even if you press enter a couple of times?
[15:12] <goodhabit> Hello. How I can start new session windowed?
[15:12] <Burt> Slart, yep
[15:12] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, try and connect to a wireless network
[15:12] <Slart> Burt: that's odd.. very odd
[15:12] <maximilion> How do you find out your kernel version?
[15:12] <luc|f3r> ive never used linux and wireless cards lol
[15:12] <maximilion> I think it's 2.6.17 something
[15:12] <ikonia> luc|f3r: why is that funny ?
[15:12] <xENO__> maximilion: 'uname -r' in console
[15:12] <maximilion> right
[15:13] <maximilion> thanks xENO__!
[15:13] <luc|f3r> Blue_Sassley can i private message you?
[15:13] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, yeah
[15:13] <fotbollen> i can´t seem to install a kernel
[15:13] <bazhang> luc|f3r: first boot from the livecd--then see if it gets your wireless card
[15:14] <luc|f3r> so it will be like my windows at the system try theres my wireless computer so it should show on ubuntu?
[15:14] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, yeah its in the upper right hand corner of the screen
[15:14] <luc|f3r> u guys are really helpful :)
[15:14] <luc|f3r> thanks for helping a noob :D
[15:14] <Blue_Sassley> luc|f3r, left click it once and a menu should apper showing the wireless networks
[15:15] <luc|f3r> k ill probally connect on my girls pc and ask once more how to do it lol
[15:15] <Burt> Slart, should i go back to joy2key?
[15:15] <Burt> Slart, were we close with that one?
[15:15] <Slart> Burt: seems like qjoypad doesn't quite do it's jon
[15:15] <Burt> Slart, that one was installed via synaptic
[15:15] <Slart> *job
[15:15] <Burt> Slart, true
[15:15] <jamesm> MAX:  uname -r
[15:15] <Slart> Burt: it does this ever time you run it?
[15:16] <Slart> *every
[15:16] <Burt> Slart, yeah
[15:16] <xENO__> Anyone know why Gnome would fail to function after a fresh install + updates?
[15:16] <[revamped]> do anyone of you use vypress chat on ur box ?
[15:16] <jamesm> qjoypad...I remember reading an article about something like that in LJ --  I have a RACING USA system outside my shop that I was going to be build up...but got busy with work :(
[15:16] <Slart> Burt: I'd go back to the other one then... yes
[15:16] <[revamped]> does anyone of you use vypress chat on your box ?
[15:16] <Burt> Slart, do you remember were we left off?
[15:17] <jamesm> Metal pedals, slide out racing seat, drop down keyboard, 19" LCD, Pentium III 666 to push it...cool concept for the kids...just no time :(
[15:17] <Slart> Burt: you had the program installed.. you were running xwininfo
[15:17] <Slart> Burt: you click the window you want to send the keystrokes to
[15:17] <jamesm> ahh I love tangents
[15:17] <regius_> is it possible to make virtualbox ose demonized?
[15:18] <Burt> Slart, i click on the terminal right?
[15:18] <piffa> bella
[15:18] <Slart> Burt: well.. in the future you click on the window belonging to the game.. but for testing we can try the terminal, yes
[15:19] <Slart> Burt: or rather a text editor window.. don't want to be running random commands
[15:19] <Burt> Slart,but, i can't minimize the game :(
[15:19] <Slart> Burt: oh.. then we have more problems
[15:19] <Burt> Slart, how do i normally?...i don't know the command?
[15:19] <ali1234> regius_: i've never used virtualbox so i don't know, but i once made a daemonized version of vmware player using vncserver... that way i could access the virtual server's console too if needed
[15:20] <maximilion> OK, just ran "make install" of my sound card driver. Can I manually  load it to test it?
[15:20] <regius_> ali1234, ok nice but i now got virtualbox up and running. This is the only thing left
[15:20] <Burt> Slart, is it simple?
[15:21] <bardyr> hey, can i create a software raid 0 and encrypt it? with the alternative cd?
[15:21] <Slart> Burt: depends on the game.. I don't know of a general way to do it.. alt+enter is the windows way.. might try it
[15:21] <maximilion> Or should I put it in some startup .conf file?
[15:21] <xENO__> maximilion: You can modprobe the module name...
[15:21] <ali1234> regius_: you could do the same thing i did using virtualbox, just tell it to run on it's own private vnc display...
[15:21] <xENO__> So nobody's had a problem with Gnome not working after one of the updates?
[15:21] <regius_> aa now i understand
[15:21] <regius_> thnx
[15:21] <Burt> Slart, so to use the joy2key i have to be able to minimze the game?
[15:21] <regius_> tnx
[15:21] <Jeruvy> what is the acceptable way to delete trash items that you don't have rights to delete?
[15:21] <maximilion> xENO__: I'm pretty new, I just type sudo modprobe mmusbaudio?
[15:21] <ali1234> regius_: qemu actually has that functionality built in to it... maybe vb does too
[15:22] <xENO__> maximilion: If that's the name of the .ko file, yes.  It should wor.
[15:22] <Slart> Burt: well.. not really.. we need the window handle.. clicking on the window is just one way of getting that.. there might be other ways of getting that info
[15:22] <maximilion> returned nothing, but no error either :)
[15:22] <Roy> Hi! I was wondering if there is an utility like windows in Gutsy where I can check my disks for errors
[15:23] <xENO__> maximilion: It's silent, usually.  Try a volume control app, that should detect it.
[15:23] <[revamped]> how to run .sh installer file ?
[15:23] <Burt> Slart, like what info?
[15:23] <xENO__> Roy: I don't think there's a GUI one, but there's the command-line tool fsck,
[15:23] <Jeruvy> [revamped] 'sh file.sh'
[15:23] <maximilion> 'man' command will not exit with Esc or Ctrl-C!
[15:23] <Slart> Burt: well.. you can try it.. just run xwininfo and click on any window.. you'll get some text.. at the top is a window id.. that's the number we need
[15:23] <[revamped]> okay jeruvy
[15:23] <xENO__> maximilion: "q"
[15:23] <jamesm> maximilion: q
[15:24] <jamesm> heh ;0
[15:24] <zakke> Are there any cool program to unpack .rar files with? ;D
[15:24] <DGJ> !fsck | Roy
[15:24] <ubotu> Roy: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[15:24] <Roy> xENO__: could you please explain how to go about it?
[15:24] <maximilion> good, thx. I should type 'man man' some day ;)
[15:24] <Roy> Thanks dgj
[15:24] <Slart> jamesm: here's a oneliner.. it doesn't do anything yet.. it just prints out what it can do..  for a in $(ls); do for b in $(ls ./$a/); do echo mv ./$a/$b ./$a-`echo $b | egrep -o '[0-9]+'`.png; done; done
[15:24] <xENO__> ...
[15:25] <maximilion> "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
[15:25] <xENO__> Ah.
[15:25] <xENO__> lsmod|grep 'module name'
[15:25] <luc|f3r> is there anyway to change the taskbar to the bottom?
[15:25] <jamesm> maximilion: what app did you check that in?
[15:25] <Slart> jamesm: I assume you have only folders in your base dir.. and I'm not sure how spaces in productnames are handled
[15:26] <bazhang> luc|f3r: sure
[15:27] <[revamped]> how to run .sh files
[15:27] <JohnMM> ./file.sh
[15:27] <[revamped]> sh file.sh givving me error
[15:27] <JohnMM> must chmod +x file.sh first
[15:27] <Pici> [revamped]: try: bash file.sh
[15:27] <Dimitree> can i remove the line in Xchat that comes after a nickname ? it is really confusing for me o-o
[15:27] <[revamped]> ok
[15:27] <martin__> hi
[15:27] <Burt> Slart, how do i release the mouse from the game if i have it windowed?
[15:28] <luc|f3r> im looking at pics of ubuntu lol
[15:28] <martin__> ive just installed ubunto

[15:28] <Pici> !enter | martin__
[15:28] <ubotu> martin__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[15:28] <martin__> ok sorry
[15:28] <maximilion> xENO__: with ' quotes?

[15:28] <martin__> that happens :(
[15:28] <xENO__> maximilion: It will work with ' or " quotes.
[15:29] <oboy03> hi guys
[15:29] <Slart> Burt: you can try using alt+tab to switch to another window
[15:29] <oboy03> what update do u check on software sources?
[15:29] <Burt> Slart, mouse is still stuck when i do that. :(
[15:29] <JohnMM> martin__, sudo apt-get clean, sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:29] <xENO__> I'm having a problem with Gnome not starting after installing updates.
[15:29] <oboy03> do i need the recommended update? or just the important security update?
[15:29] <jamesm> Slart: Thanks  -- That is part of the problem -- I am looking at changing the files from (img1 (1).png to img1.png) eliminating that white space has helped on a few test files.  With that I have created a list.txt and am now looking up a utiliy to match list.txt with the files in ascending/desencing order -- I figured it was going to take at least 1 prior modification before the actual rename was applied -- Digital cameras naming schemes by default are real
[15:29] <jamesm> ly really  poor
[15:30] <luc|f3r> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/16351 <<< should i do that if it doesnt work?
[15:30] <Burt> Slart, got it released now what do i do with this window id?
[15:30] <oboy03> I've just reinstalled ubuntu
[15:30] <mediabuntu> can any one help me i have no sound
[15:30] <oboy03> the recommended update messed everything
[15:31] <oboy03> no sound?
[15:31] <JohnMM> which update is that?
[15:31] <Slart> Burt: you run the joy2key program with the id on the command line... joy2key -dev /dev/input/js0 12345678
[15:31] <Slart> Burt: change 12345678 to your id... at least that's what I think you have to do
[15:31] <oboy03> i just update all recommended
[15:31] <mediabuntu> yep no sound i cant play music
[15:31] <oboy03> then evrything was messed up
[15:31] <maximilion> xENO__: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55081/
[15:31] <oboy03> try to up the volume
[15:32] <jamesm> I would imagine if I dug a little harder there is probably a GUI made just for this type of thing -- in regards to rectifying sloppy file names...Need to look at F-Spot again..that program has all sorts of goodies buried in it
[15:32] <xj24> how do you exclude directories when using find?
[15:32] <oboy03> sometimes at 80% volume I hear no sound, at 81% i hear something
[15:32] <Slart> jamesm: that's not so hard.. are all the files named like that? are the more than one file with the same beginning?
[15:32] <bazhang> oboy03: what sources are you using? the first four in synaptic repo list?
[15:32] <oboy03> baxhang: yeah
[15:32] <Slart> jamesm: I mean.. are there "img1 (1).png" and "img1 (2).png"
[15:33] <bazhang> oboy03: anything like automatix or envy?
[15:33] <yao_ziyuan> if i set my normal user password as the same as my root password, can a virus invoke "pswd" to get this password and gain root access?
[15:33]  * maximilion asks all: Does Pidgin log channels, and where can I find it?
[15:33] <ambar> can anyone tell me that who rates the ubuntu applications? or how can the ubuntu applications can be rated?
[15:33] <oboy03> ??
[15:33] <|REM|> how do I change the IP address from static to DHCP from the command line?
[15:33] <VOiCi> dhclient or dhcpcd
[15:33] <Slart> ambar: I think there a little application that gathers info on what apps people have installed
[15:33] <VOiCi> i think
[15:33] <bazhang> yao_ziyuan: no root by default
[15:33] <xENO__> maximilion: Restart Gnome.
[15:33] <VOiCi> |REM|,
[15:33] <hurbi> its simple
[15:33] <oboy03> in software source i check the first four in ubuntu software tab, and first on the update tab
[15:34] <yao_ziyuan> bazhang: i don't log in with root (with a normal account). but can the virus get my normal account password?
[15:34] <VOiCi> type dhcpcd <interface> or dhclient <interface>
[15:34] <mediabuntu> i have a configuration error
[15:34] <maximilion> xENO__: Did modprobe add mmusbaudio to the startup .conf, wherever that is?
[15:34] <bazhang> yao_ziyuan: what virus?
[15:34] <maximilion> (I want to learn)
[15:34] <xENO__> ...
[15:34] <bazhang> oboy03: things are messed up is not very descriptive
[15:34] <yao_ziyuan> bazhang: an imaginary virus that assumes my root password = my normal user password
[15:34] <mediabuntu> i get this error when i click the sound icon ¨No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.¨
[15:34] <luc|f3r> so since i have a duo core i download the amd64 right?
[15:35] <pepperjack> luc|f3r: not necessarily
[15:35] <jamesm> Slart: yes throughout 54 directories
[15:35] <bazhang> luc|f3r: you can use either; the benefits to the 64bit are minimal at the moment
[15:35] <Slart> luc|f3r: stay with 32-bit unless you really really want 64bit.. like if you have more than 4gb of memory
[15:35] <frost0> Slart, http://pastebin.com/d3b8e28c1
[15:35] <oboy03> bazhang sorry, i mean i got broken packages, and can't fix it like before
[15:35] <pepperjack> luc|f3r: i have a 64 bit processor but use the normal 32 bit kernel and i recommend that to most people unless they need to address huge amounts or ram
[15:35] <xENO__> maximilion: No, Ubuntu shuld do that automatically.  At leats, I think it does.
[15:35] <frost0> Slart, i think we have the command wrong
[15:35] <oboy03> so i reinstalled ubntu
[15:35] <|REM|> VOici: Thanks!
[15:36] <VOiCi> did it work?
[15:36] <VOiCi> works
[15:36] <oboy03> now i want to know which update should i use to prevent future problems
[15:36] <bazhang> oboy03: first four in synaptic and fifth was what?
[15:36] <xENO__> oboy03: Like Gnome not starting?
[15:36] <luc|f3r> so get the http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso ?
[15:36] <oboy03> gnome starts
[15:36] <bazhang> luc|f3r: aye
[15:36] <maximilion> Oh. It's ctrl+alt+backspace. I thought that restarted X. Be right back :)
[15:36] <sizzle> how come it takes forever to load any webpage using firefox and clearing all data on exit..
[15:36] <oboy03> but the broken packages cant be removed
[15:37] <mediabuntu> what wont start
[15:37] <xENO__> I can't get any component of Gnome to start after updating a fresh Ubuntu 7.10 install.
[15:37] <oboy03> anyway my problem is should i only update impt security updtes or recommended updates as well
[15:37] <bazhang> oboy03: what is the fifth software repo you have?
[15:37] <oboy03> source
[15:37] <Slart> frost0: I wouldn't bet against it... I've never used it before
[15:37] <sizzle> highspeed cable and new fast computer with 1g ram
[15:37] <martin__> hm
[15:37] <oboy03> baxhang: source
[15:37] <martin__> what must i do to play mp3s with rythmbox?
[15:38] <bazhang> oboy03: you doing compiling?
[15:38] <Slart> frost0: but I have got to run.. wife just got home and I have some errands to run
[15:38] <frost0> Slart, got everything working!
[15:38] <oboy03> nope
[15:38] <frost0> Slart, somehow...idk
[15:38] <bazhang> martin__: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:38] <xENO__> gnome-panel segfaults, gnome-terminal segfaults, gnome-session-manager segfaults...  Everything except gnome-screensaver, really.
[15:38] <oboy03> im just updating my ubuntu 7.10
[15:38] <frost0> Slart, i think the other program saved its settings :)
[15:38] <frost0> Slart, thx
[15:38] <Slart> frost0: hehe.. then all is well.. good luck with the joystick
[15:38] <JohnMM> xENO__, running x64?
[15:38] <xENO__> JohnMM: i386
[15:38] <bazhang> oboy03: no need for the source
[15:38] <Photo1> OK, I now have sound :D
[15:38] <frost0> Slart, God Bless...I Got To Go Also...
[15:39] <wittyphotons> hey, i need help with what is probably a simple sound issue:
[15:39] <JohnMM> xENO__, did you verify the iso checksum before burning?
[15:39] <stelt> how can i mount the ntfs partition i have ?
[15:39] <oboy03> bazhang: how about recommended ubuntu updates?
[15:39] <JohnMM> xENO__, your iso may be corru[t
[15:39] <xENO__> JohnMM: Better than that, I installed it on a VirtualBox.
[15:39] <maximilion> Will it still be autoloaded at startup? Restart Gnome == Reboot in that respect?
[15:39] <_elemental> anyone know a good rss reader that is not integrated with a web browser?
[15:39] <xENO__> It works fine until I update.
[15:39] <mediabuntu> can any one help me my modules srnt getting loaded at boot
[15:39] <bazhang> oboy03: they are fine--something else is clearly the issue
[15:39] <oboy03> bazhang: or should i only update important security update?
[15:39] <wittyphotons> i was messing around with a usb sound card trying to get capturing-audio working and now i can only play sound from one channel at a time
[15:39] <xENO__> And it works fine on the VirtualBox.
[15:39] <JohnMM> stelt, mount -orw -tntfs /dev/something
[15:39] <oboy03> oic
[15:39]  * maximilion thanks xENO__ very much!
[15:40] <JohnMM> oops sorry stelt, it's mount -tntfs -orw /dev/something /mnt/ntfs
[15:40] <wittyphotons> alsamixer shows my 'headphone' output to be 0M or M0 (changes when i try ot mute)
[15:40] <agoebel> anyone know if I can use sshfs to have a remote server mount a local device?
[15:40] <stelt> xENO__, doesn't that make it read-only ?
[15:41] <stelt> JohnMM, doesn't that make it read-only ?
[15:41] <JohnMM> stelt, -orw should allow it to be readwrite
[15:41] <mediabuntu> how can i mount the modules manually
[15:41] <oboy03> bazhang: i was just wondering that sometimes updates cause problem with broken packages
[15:41] <_elemental> anyone know a good rss reader that is not integrated with a web browser?
[15:41] <oboy03> i've installed and update ubuntu a few times
[15:41] <bazhang> oboy03: what packages specifically
[15:41] <JohnMM> stelt, if after that command the volume is still readonly you should install ntfs-3g and replace -tntfs with -tntfs-3g
[15:41] <oboy03> the games package and open office
[15:41] <Burt>  can someone help me figure out why frets on fire is sooo laggy
[15:42] <Burt> i run more intensive games easily on *nix
[15:42] <oboy03> sometimes the lib... someting
[15:42] <bazhang> oboy03: what games package--please be clear
[15:42] <Kfiro> the last update just broke flash under firefox
[15:42] <oboy03> its just weird
[15:42] <Kfiro> any ideas how to fix it ?
[15:42] <agoebel> Burt: it uses vector graphics and it just isn't timed properly
[15:42] <oboy03> that every installation there are different problems
[15:42] <[revamped]> +elemental : use foxit reader
[15:42] <ThreeFingerPete> Kfiro: uninstall and reinstall
[15:42] <Burt> agoebel, fix?
[15:42] <Kfiro> ThreeFingerPete:  how do I do that ?
[15:42] <agoebel> Burt: not without remaking it.
[15:42] <pepperjack> _elemental: if you search for a gnome applet i think yoiu can put a reader in the gnome-panel
[15:42] <bazhang> oboy03: if you give info like the lib something, then I will give advice like go try something something
[15:42] <maximilion> I have 156 fps in Quake 3 @ 1600x1200, I'm happy for now :)
[15:42] <wittyphotons> is someone available to help me with a quick sound issue?
[15:42] <ThreeFingerPete> Kfiro: i updated this morning and it works fine
[15:43] <oboy03> sorry
[15:43] <Kfiro> ThreeFingerPete:  not sure what went wrong
[15:43] <jamesm> OMG  I could stay here all day and try to work through some of these issues...I forgot how active the channels were (haven't been here in a few months)
[15:43] <oboy03> anyway
[15:43] <ThreeFingerPete> Kfiro: you might find it in synaptic
[15:43] <oboy03> i have a fresh install
[15:43] <bazhang> oboy03: no need to reinstall--this is not windows
[15:43] <JohnMM> jamesm, indeed ...it's almost so active that it's difficult to follow convos haha
[15:43] <maximilion> Restarted Gnome, now my USB hdd doesn't show - in fact the whole "Removable media" menu is gone!
[15:43] <xENO__> JohnMM: Could using xfs as the /root and /home be the problem?  I didn't think of that because it works fine on Debian Etch.
[15:43] <Kfiro> ThreeFingerPete: perhaps it's  because i"m runing 64bits
[15:43] <agoebel> Burt: not without remaking it.
[15:43] <bazhang> oboy03: specify the problems and we will try to address them one by one
[15:43] <agoebel> anyone know if I can use sshfs to have a remote server mount a local device?
[15:43] <ThreeFingerPete> Kfiro: possible. i am using 32
[15:43] <JohnMM> xENO__, shouldn't be
[15:43] <Kfiro> ok I'll try synaptics
[15:44] <oboy03> so you mean we can actually save problems like that?
[15:44] <oboy03> i mean not like windows, mess one file and the whole os is messed
[15:44] <JohnMM> gotta go, bbl
[15:44] <bazhang> oboy03: if you specify, possibly ;]
[15:44] <JohnMM> afk
[15:44] <FY1> is it natural for the non-free flash plugin to bogart 1 cpu and use it heavily?
[15:44] <oboy03> yeah maybe next time
[15:45] <oboy03> i got headaches from reading a lot to fix the problem
[15:45] <oboy03> anyway i already had a fresh install
[15:45] <oboy03> still getting a hang of this
[15:45] <oboy03> :)
[15:45] <jamesm> agoebel: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/28/how-to-mount-a-remote-ssh-filesystem-using-sshfs/
[15:45] <jamesm> agoebel: There was also a nice write up in LJ a few months ago on how to do that
[15:46] <elwaywitvac> jamesm: at school, don't have my subscription
[15:46] <wittyphotons> so for some reason i'm only getting sound out of one channel at a time. alsamixer shows the 'headphone' output to be either M0 or 0M (changes when try to mute). any help would be appreciated.
[15:46] <jamesm> elwaywitvac: Let me see..
[15:46] <Mikado111> this is what heppend to me: http://www.shortText.com/x034yf. I though it was some bug and press `y`. Can someone explain that?
[15:47] <ThreeFingerPete> oboy03, the problem was with the install work around from last week. those of us with older flash installs didnt have problems
[15:47] <chang-li> Is nfs-client only setup via command-line, or is there a gui?
[15:47] <elwaywitvac> jamesm: thankx
[15:47] <jamesm> elwaywitvac: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8904
[15:47] <elwaywitvac> jamesm: thanks
[15:47] <Pici> wittyphotons: you can mute each channel independently in alsamixer using < and >
[15:47] <wittyphotons> ah, thanks
[15:47] <elwaywitvac> brb
[15:48]  * wittyphotons smacks forehead
[15:48] <wittyphotons> that was easy.
[15:48] <lammy> hallo! after playing around with "sudo apt-get --purge ...." my gdm-login-screen doesn't have my german keyboard-settings (y<>z) - how can i fix this, please ???
[15:48] <jamesm> elwaywitvac: just curiuios..are you randomly accessing it  like for a backup solution or are you going to be accessing the mount as a share on your local system ?
[15:49] <_elemental> is fox it in the repos?
[15:50] <stelt> JohnMM, NTFS signature is missing
[15:51] <_elemental> pepperjack I'm not sure how to search for a gnome applet
[15:51] <stelt> Is NTFS support nowadays production code, or still experimental ?
[15:51] <Dimitree> any Bible software for ubuntu ? =)
[15:52] <stelt> Dimitree, i even think there's a christian edition of Ubuntu
[15:52] <nikitis> Hey anyone know about sound cards not showing up with the latest kernel update?
[15:53] <Dimitree> stelt,  no wai O_O
[15:53] <lammy> Dimitree: "sudo apt-cache search bible" - but mostly you need a bible under window$
[15:53] <jamesm> Dimitree: Yup There is a CE for Ubuntu -- great package base for first timers that are introducing a system to children.  I have installed it on numerous systems here in town for families
[15:54] <oboy03> bazhang: i just reboot and finished security update
[15:54] <bazhang> oboy03: still okay?
[15:54] <xENO__> I'm going to try this one more time.
[15:54] <Dimitree> cool =)
[15:54] <oboy03> now my firefox cant be loaded says: cant find child process
[15:54] <elliotjhug> hi all - trying to install koffice2 from repos right now - refuses to install since I have the KDE 4 packages that mucks up one of its dependencies - any ideas?

[15:54] <Bcosta> 2
[15:54] <Dimitree> thank you :)
[15:55] <agoebel> jamesm: any luck with the mounting?
[15:56] <jamesm> agoebel: I did not get your answer to usage?  Are you trying to back up to that mount or do you want full access to it always?
[15:56] <nikitis> I have a HDA Intel 82801G onboard Sound card.  It's always been detected before, but now when I just updated the kernel.  It no longer shows up.  Can anyone help me?
[15:56] <jamesm> agoebel: Did you check out that link from LJ?

[16:00] <nikitis> So can anyone help me with my sound card detection?
[16:00] <agoebel> jamesm: ah, no guarentees on what it is.  This is actually for a major project, there is no guarentee of what connection the machine will have except that it is wireless
[16:00] <dragonfighter44> How do I install ubuntu, download it, burn to cd-r, and load?

[16:01] <agoebel> jamesm: honestly don't know, it's my friends project, I'm just helping with code when I can
[16:01] <Jeruvy> that reminds me I need more coffee ;)
[16:01] <jamesm> dragonfighter44: rephrase your ???
[16:01] <hitguy> hah
[16:01] <hitguy> good
[16:02] <eric_> Im trying to use the context menu write to disk option on a .iso file thats only 4.4 gbs to a dvd5 and it keeps coming back telling me that its not big enough any ideas why??
[16:02] <agoebel> jamesm: all I know isthat the robot connects to a server which relays to other clients
[16:02] <elliotjhug> Coreleone: OK, It probably won't work on vista then - you can keep going on without it - just means you won't get some bookmarks copied across - won't do any damage not having it
[16:02] <elliotjhug> dragonfighter44: You should probably get silenced, but we are all volunteers here - we don't have to help you at your command
[16:02] <jamesm> agoebel: My mind is churning with all the possibilities
[16:02] <hitguy> yes .right
[16:02] <|REM|> VOiCi: Doing dhclient worked but on a reboot it goes back to the static address.  I need to set it to DHCP from here on out...
[16:02] <oboy03> im sorry i really have no idea to do it but im trying
[16:02] <VOiCi> uhm
[16:02] <mysticmarks> eric< has to close the disk and that can take space on a dvd
[16:03] <hitguy> uhm
[16:03] <VOiCi> that is probably because it is setted somewhere
[16:03] <VOiCi> |REM|,
[16:03] <Coreleone> elliotjhug: you mean to do the installation?
[16:03] <agoebel> james: I know, right?  the issue is that there are 3 machines: firewalled robot, server, and clients which controll it
[16:03] <VOiCi> you should take a look at some config file
[16:03] <gaovi> .
[16:03] <VOiCi> or add it to your .bashrc, but that would be a hack
[16:03] <happy> i am using ubuntu, latest version and looking for a program that can catalog pics that i have spread all over my lan, i do now want them on a sql server or similar but to stay on the servers, just looking for a prog that will make it possible to scan my lan and catalog them on a laptop
[16:03] <Feanix> stupid question: in "man", if there is a phrase "see _xxx_(123) for details", how do I do that? "man xxx" does not help
[16:03] <elliotjhug> Coreleone: Yeah - just keep going ignoring the fact it can't find your vista user accounts - its no disaster
[16:03] <neverblue> guys, having an issue with postfix-doc, when I do my morning updates, it seems to give me an error, I have tried to do aptitude remove, yet I get the error: ' Removing postfix-doc ...postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf for reading: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing postfix-doc (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1' what can I do resolve this ?
[16:03] <oboy03> bazhang: i got no browser so i guess i cant pastbin
[16:03] <bazhang> oboy03: well the child process means that the icon you click for firefox is looking for an older version of firefox--you did not use anything outside of official ubuntu repositories--such as automatix?
[16:03] <Pici> Feanix: try man 123 xxx
[16:03] <eric_> K well thanks i gotta grab breakfast anywho cheers all
[16:03] <jamesm> alot of it just depends on what type of feed he/they want -- live, delayed  -- I think the secure portion of it is pretty simple --
[16:03] <elliotjhug> neverblue: You're probably better off in #ubuntu-server
[16:04] <neverblue> elliotjhug, why is that ?
[16:04] <oboy03> nope
[16:04] <StaticSignal> Hey, #Ubuntu. I'm trying to download the AMD64 package for Cinelerra. I'm given a command to type into the terminal, but all it does is spit errors back at me. I've never used the terminal before, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Help a newb out?
[16:04] <oboy03> i updated from cannonical and only the security updates
[16:04] <bazhang> oboy03: try typing firefox in the terminal
[16:04] <Pici> StaticSignal: What command?
[16:04] <agoebel> jamesm: it is currently set up with webcam which file dumps to an ftp and then javascript refreshes every second, but that is way to slow
[16:04] <mysticmarks> anyone know where i can find a script to keep my grub menu.lst from being overwritten during major updates
[16:04] <StaticSignal> Pici: deb http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu64 ./
[16:04] <agoebel> jamesm: if there is a better way than remotely mounting /dev/video it'd be great
[16:05] <mysticmarks> its annoying rewriting it
[16:05] <oboy03> bazhang: thats weird it says it is not installed
[16:05] <jamesm> happy: F-Spot will dig as deep as you need it to.  If you have the drives mapped on your system prior to the cataloging should be no problem
[16:05] <Coreleone> elliotjhug: And after the grub will find both  right?
[16:05] <idefix> I'm having trouble running kformula, it won't start in the openoffice word processor.. .. the error is "Object OpenOffice.org 2.0 Formula couldnot be inserted."
[16:05] <Feanix> Pici: no manual entry for 7 ( i entered "man 7 debconf" )
[16:05] <elliotjhug> neverblue: postfix is considered a server app - and they know better about that kinda stuff over there. They are really good with mail clients and stuff
[16:05] <jburd> Ubuntu used to automatically mount my DVD discs and show an icon on the desktop.  However, now it doesn't do that and still shows icons for discs that aren't in the drive.  What's the problem?
[16:05] <happy> jamesm: thanks
[16:05] <bazhang> oboy03: then install it ;]
[16:05] <jburd> I'm using the 64 bit version of 7.10
[16:05] <Hisotaso> Xchat wont let me install xchat-systray, says there are unresolvable dependancies
[16:05] <elliotjhug> Coreleone: So long as you're sure that you're talking about User Accounts, not Partitions, then yes
[16:05] <oboy03> still the same
[16:05] <StaticSignal> Pici: it spits back; bash: deb: command not found
[16:05] <neverblue> elliotjhug, im having issues with update/deletion of packages, not using postfix
[16:05] <oboy03> i'll try add/remove
[16:06] <NET||abuse> Hey guys.. bootin up with grub,, i get disk error
[16:06] <bazhang> oboy03: it takes more than five seconds to install ;]
[16:06] <Dimitree> woot there is a Bulgarian bible wooot !
[16:06] <jamesm> agoebel: I think a temp storage device attached to the 'bot would be slick -- what input ports/jacks does the bot have  -- do you know ?
[16:06] <Coreleone> elliotjhug: Thanks for your help/
[16:06] <elliotjhug> neverblue: Well - its still a server package. But I stand corrected if you think here would be a better place to ask.
[16:06] <Pici> StaticSignal: You need to download the deb file from that url, not provide the url as an argument.
[16:06] <NET||abuse> it goes from Boot from CD: \n Boor from CD: \n"GRUB HardDiskError"
[16:06] <maximilion> mMm, coffee... black as midnight on a moonless night :)
[16:06] <elliotjhug> Coreleone: No prob
[16:06] <hyphenated> mysticmarks: "major" upgrades? keep a backup. for "normal" upgrades, put important things outside the "AUTOMAGIC KERNELS" section
[16:06] <NET||abuse> how can i fix this issue?
[16:06] <cvdpr> if i always has used nick cvd, why the hey xchat say that the nick its already taken?
[16:06] <Pici> StaticSignal: er, nevermind.
[16:06] <oboy03> well after 5 secs nothing happened
[16:06] <jburd> How do I get it to mount CDs automatically again?
[16:06] <Pici> StaticSignal: You need to put that into your /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:06]  * Nikki85 is away: Gone away for now.
[16:07]  * Nikki|AWAY is back.
[16:07] <elliotjhug> cvdpr: You probably haven't logged in yet - or you get that message before xchat logs you in
[16:07] <oboy03> i used sudo apt-get install firefox
[16:07] <Pici> !away > Nikki85 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[16:07] <StaticSignal> Pici: Okay... now, what is that, and how do I do it.
[16:07] <bazhang> oboy03: sudo apt-get install firefox
[16:07] <mysticmarks> thaks
[16:07] <idefix> what is an 'io-slave'?
[16:07] <Pici> StaticSignal: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:07] <idefix> !io-slave
[16:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about io-slave - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:07] <cvdpr> the only way to login is to change my nick to cvdpr
[16:07] <bazhang> oboy03: and what was the message when you did that?
[16:07] <agoebel> jamesm: basic stripped down IBM thinkpad I believe, so maybe usb.
[16:07] <oboy03> firefox already is newest verson
[16:08] <Pici> StaticSignal: then paste that deb line in there, and then: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install cinelerra
[16:08] <maximilion> Restarted Gnome... how can I make it re-detect my USB hdd?
[16:08] <agoebel> jamesm: the reason we were thinking mounting video0 is because we found a nice java webapplet which would work
[16:08] <drpcken> hey guys I'm having a problem with emerald.  this is my second day using ubuntu and I thought I wanted the theme manager but I'm not to happy with it.  I installed it and it messed up my appearance, so I tried to go back to the Crux theme but the title bar wont' change back
[16:08] <bill_> Is there an app that will give me the proper resolution for my monitor:HPw1907@1440x900? thanks

[16:09] <maximilion> bill_: in Screen and Graphics
[16:09] <luc|f3r> hey is there a progam on ubuntu to check ur pop3 e-mail?
[16:10] <Feanix> stupid question: in "man", if there is a phrase like "see _debconf_(7) for details", how do I do that? I cannot click on the entry, and "man debconf" "man debconf 7" "man 7 debconf" or "man debconf(7)" either lead to entry I came from or do not work.
[16:10] <agoebel> jamesm: sorry, have to run, work time
[16:10] <maximilion> luc|f3r: I prefer Thunderbird
[16:10] <Dimitree> jamesm, is it possible to get the "complete jewish bible" for GnomeSword ? o-o
[16:10] <bill_> max yes it only offers 1152x I forget but it is not correct
[16:10] <luc|f3r> so there is cause i use rogers.com for my e-mail lol
[16:10] <jamesm> agoebel: 1GB RAM -- barebones linux-mix built with a cooker to provide cam functionality and temp storage.  Wireless LAN  -- direct feed to server
[16:10] <oboy03> still cant make firefox work
[16:10] <hitguy> why?
[16:10] <jamesm> BUMMER -- That sounded like a really slick project :(
[16:10] <oboy03> says: could not launch application
[16:10] <oboy03> failed to execute child process
[16:11] <nickrud> luc|f3r: mail-notification is a nice panel app for that
[16:11] <bazhang> oboy03: this was from terminal or clicking icon?
[16:11] <oboy03> clicking on it
[16:11] <vallhalla81> is there any way to network a pc to a lap top using usb to usb?
[16:11] <bazhang> oboy03: and from terminal?
[16:11] <oboy03> in the terminal it says firefox not installed
[16:12] <jamesm> Dimitree: That is questions I have not been asked before --  I am guessing here, but your not just looking for translation into Hebrew -- your actually looking for a version of the "Jewish Bible" for that app?
[16:12] <bazhang> oboy03: type top in terminal and see if firefox is running
[16:12] <maximilion> bill_: Then I don't know, my Dell 27" widescreen was in the list, but had the wrong resolutions, so I hacked xorg.conf

[16:12] <bill_> Sorry Max I just dug a little deeper and found it thanks

[16:18] <ThePain> pentium 4 1.6 Ghz, 256MB ram, 30Gb hd
[16:18] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: so ls /media doesnt show cdrom0? you can sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0
[16:18] <ThePain> bazhang: pentium 4 1.6 Ghz, 256MB ram, 30Gb hd
[16:18] <neverblue> [revamped], please, no need to repeat the same question 1-2 mins apart

[16:18] <unstable> I've been using mkisofs to make images of backed up DVDs, but the name on the disc by default is "CDROM", what is the option to change that name, to the movie title say?
[16:18] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: might also sudo ln -s /media/cdrom0 /media/cdrom    <--- after you mkdir
[16:19] <ThePain> the laptot is NEC Versa M300
[16:19] <bazhang> ThePain: the ram is the issue--try the alternate cd or the minimal install

[16:19] <drpcken> hey guys I'm having a problem with emerald.  this is my second day using ubuntu and I thought I wanted the theme manager but I'm not to happy with it.  I installed it and it messed up my appearance, so I tried to go back to the Crux theme but the title bar wont' change back

[16:19] <ThePain> bazhang: how ot use minimal install?
[16:19] <[revamped]> thanks for giving this info neverblue
[16:19] <Dimitree> jamesm,  this is what i'm after http://www.messianicjewish.net/jntp/complete-jewish-bible.html
[16:19] <bazhang> !minimal | ThePain
[16:19] <ubotu> ThePain: 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
[16:20] <Hisotaso> pepperjack, what does this command do?
[16:20] <oboy03> ??
[16:20] <ThePain> ok i will try
[16:20] <oboy03> should i uninstall my firefox?
[16:20] <hon> assume I have a machine at home. ISP does not give me static IP, so the machines IP changes quite frequently. What would you set up on it to find the IP whenever you need to ssh to it?
[16:20] <happy> how can i link to a share on a ip on my lan?
[16:20] <usr_rob> i have a mini-itx box with 1ghz / 1gb ram / 80gb 2,5" disk , do you thing ubuntu with gnome will be to bloaty, maybe xfce will be a better choice
[16:20] <jamesm> Dimitree: Give me second -- I am looking at some old notes I had from a customer last Summer.  I even have the CD around this mess somewhere...we got the program working with Wine with very little trouble.
[16:20] <HoboBen> Hi - Is it safe to use gparted to partition a USB pen? Are they fall all intents and purposes mini hard drives, or do they work differently?
 yes I have a router
[16:20] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: creates a symlink like a shortcut that is /media/cdrom that points back to /media/cdrom0
[16:21] <Dimitree> jamesm,  ok :)
[16:21] <chamunks> Hey about the nickserv is there a way to get it to send my password to my email because i seem  to have forgotten it.
[16:21] <Hisotaso> Pepperjack, entered command, ejected and reinserted disc, still cannot mount volume
[16:21] <pepperjack> HoboBen: most all usb drives you can just wipe partition table and partition however you want
[16:21] <Nulo> Hi, when I try to add a printer using the KDE printer manager (in Kubuntu Dapper 6.06) the options parallel/usb are greyed out. 'lsusb' and 'dmesg' show that the system can see  the printer in the usb port though (Bus 001 Device 008: ID 04b8:0005 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus Printer). When I try to add a printer using localhost:631 in the broswer I get the message 'hpiod: invalid uri:hp:/no_device_found' in the drop down menu wher I would expect to see my
[16:21] <Nulo>  USB connection. I tried selecting that option and going on with the installation of the printer, but when I try to print a document I (unsurprisingly) get an error message in 'dmesg': ' no_device_found: INFO: open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds...', after which it guves up saying 'unable to send Event hp:/no_device_found 34 5012: Broken pipe'. Help?
[16:21]  * maximilion takes timeout to say this is the most awesome IRC channel he's been on since 1998 :)
[16:22] <maximilion> Phew, 1256 users, people coming and going, lots of people getting help :D
[16:22] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: try this sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0
[16:22] <HoboBen> Thanks pepperjack
[16:22] <neverblue> XXer, plug each into the router, then you want to file share on both, Windows has its own form of file sharing, and linux uses Samba.  So you would want to learn how to use Samba
[16:22] <neverblue> !samba > XXer
[16:22] <ThePain> !samba
[16:22] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[16:23] <Hisotaso> pepperjack, this is what i get back: mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist
[16:23] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: that is not a good sign
[16:23] <bazhang> oboy03: you still there?
[16:23] <drpcken> how can i reboot from terminal?
[16:23] <cvdpr> command to info the cpu name, momory etc
[16:23] <oboy03> yeah
[16:23] <Hisotaso> i just had a cd in there yesterday
[16:23] <LjL> drpcken: sudo reboot
[16:23] <pepperjack> drpcken: sudo shutdown -r now
[16:23] <oboy03> still the same problem
[16:23] <drpcken> thanks :)
[16:24] <bazhang> oboy03: you need to install pastebinit
[16:24] <vincent_ws> bonsoir
[16:24] <bazhang> hi vincent_ws
 Thanks for the info It sounds like a good place to start
[16:24] <oboy03> how?
[16:24] <vincent_ws_> bonjour
[16:24] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: try just the actual node  like sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0
[16:24] <oboy03> sudo apt-get install pastebinit?
[16:24] <bazhang> english vincent_ws_ please
[16:24] <vincent_ws_> hi
[16:25] <bazhang> yes oboy03
[16:25] <oboy03> done
[16:25] <Hisotaso> pepperjack, ok that worked, however am i going to have to do that everytie i put a disc in?

[16:25] <krim> I have a folder with subfolders. How do I list all the files and save the output to a text file?
[16:26] <oboy03> next?
[16:26] <Hisotaso> pepperjack, also is that a sign of a hardware or software issue?
[16:26] <vincent_ws_> i have an answer about boot manager (grub) in ubuntu and windows, i have xbuntu and i want install windows in multiboot but, windows erase grub ? how can i keep grub after windows installation ?
[16:26] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: no do this now: sudo ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom   <-- after that it should work i think but i really dont know udev hal stuff that well
[16:26] <bazhang> oboy03: now do the following: cat  /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit
[16:26] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: software
[16:26] <Pici> krim: find /path/to/folder/ > outputfile
[16:26] <krim> Pici: Thanks.
[16:26] <bazhang> oboy03: only one space after cat sorry
[16:26] <tdn> How can a device (partition) exist in fdisk -l but not in /dev? I am trying to mount a partition from an USB harddisk enclosure, but this is what happens: http://thomasdamgaard.dk/paste/P1062.html
[16:27] <oboy03> ok
[16:27] <stelt> when cfdisk shows a FS Type it is indeed FORMATTED as such, right? (trying to find a reason cfdisk shows ntfs, but mount says it is not)
[16:27] <Hisotaso> pepperjack, it wont let me eject thje disc now lol
[16:27] <LjL> stelt: well no, cfdisk just gives you the partition type, which is just a byte in the partition table
[16:27] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: try eject command
[16:28] <bipin> hi
[16:28] <bstock> anyone know how to change which program is associated with file extensions
[16:28] <bazhang> !paste | oboy03 put the output here and tell us the link
[16:28] <ubotu> oboy03 put the output here and tell us the link: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[16:28] <stelt> LjL, so i need to format so i can mount it as such ?
[16:28] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: also, haul back and smack your computer
[16:28] <bill_> Max, it took the screen a while to come back but I think it is working
[16:28] <oboy03> cat  /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:29] <pepperjack> bstock: within nautilus?
[16:29] <LjL-Temp> stelt: yes. of course you also want to make sure that you don't have data on it before formatting ;)
[16:29] <maximilion> Good:) Use the menu buttons on the monitor to verify that you have full resolution
[16:29] <bazhang> in the terminal oboy03 with the | pastebinit at the end of that command
[16:29] <oboy03> http://paste.stgraber.org/243
[16:29] <bstock> pepperjack: yeah i want nautilus to launch a different app for a certain mime type
[16:29]  * jburd wonders what's wrong.  So doesn't anybody know why Ubuntu suddenly stopped automatically mounting my CD discs?  
[16:29] <Hisotaso> pepperjack: "/media/cdrom0 is not in the fstab (and you are not root); eject: unmount of `/media/cdrom0' failed, switched to root "eject" works fine, however thats a lot of work to put in  and eject a disc

[16:29] <andyshack> hey folks. im trying to connect to a samba share from 7.10 (samba server is ubuntu, been running as fileserver for xp machines with password flawlessly) problem is im not being prompted for the samba login from the 7.10 client. is this normal ?
[16:30] <bstock> pepperjack: found it, have to go to properties on the file you want to change the default app
[16:30] <Catachan> right now, and by default, it is that pale tan-ish orange color
[16:30] <jburd> If I eject a disc and then insert another disc then click "Mount Disc" in the Gnome panel, it shows me cannot mount "Name of the Older Disk"
[16:31] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: try sudo eject otherwise do sudo umount /dev/hdc then hit the eject button on the cdrom
[16:31] <bazhang> oboy03: looks like the were some repos that failed to install due to verification issues--was it timing out?
[16:31] <jamesm> Dimitree: well that app doesn't have a Jewish port...but I did find something else - checked into e-sword and found j-sword with alot of mods...looking for something now

[16:32] <opi>  Hi! Is there a way to read ESSID from nc-applet? My friend forgot his ESSID and I'd like to read it. In gconf-editor there's bssid but that's not it
[16:32] <oboy03> timing out?
[16:32] <oboy03> during update?
[16:33] <Dimitree> jamesm, i need that bible in english ? :)
[16:33] <NET||abuse> so i get no other helpfull info,,, i've just successfully booted into a knoppix dvd, so i wanted to check out the drives in the machine see where the issue is happening.
[16:33] <bazhang> oboy03: right--server timing out
[16:33] <oboy03> the update went smoothly
[16:33] <oboy03> except this time firfox got messed
[16:34] <bazhang> oboy03: you have many repos that are commented out
[16:34] <oboy03> ???
[16:34] <Dimitree> jamesm, btw any idea if i can maby search for that bible and find it in some format will i be able to convert it to a usable format for gnome sword ?
[16:34] <bazhang> oboy03: due to verification issues
[16:34] <oboy03> so???
[16:34] <oboy03> :)
[16:34] <Dimitree> jamesm, are there tools to do such things ?
[16:34] <oboy03> <-- noobs
[16:34] <enzo> ali1234: yes, i've launched kino on my .ts and the audio and video is desync :(, how have you done ?
[16:34] <hamedv90> Dorod
[16:34] <jburd> I can mount other removable disks fine but not Cds?
[16:34] <krim> Pici: Is there a way to get in in alphabetic order?
[16:35] <ali1234> enzo: hang on i'll find you the link
[16:35] <enzo> thanks ali1234
[16:35] <Pici> krim: pipe the output through sort
[16:35] <Nulo> Hi, when I try to add a printer using the KDE printer manager (in Kubuntu Dapper 6.06) the options parallel/usb are greyed out. 'lsusb' and 'dmesg' show that the system can see  the printer in the usb port though (Bus 001 Device 008: ID 04b8:0005 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus Printer). When I try to add a printer using localhost:631 in the broswer I get the message 'hpiod: invalid uri:hp:/no_device_found' in the drop down menu wher I would expect to see my
[16:35] <Nulo>  USB connection. I tried selecting that option and going on with the installation of the printer, but when I try to print a document I (unsurprisingly) get an error message in 'dmesg': ' no_device_found: INFO: open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds...', after which it guves up saying 'unable to send Event hp:/no_device_found 34 5012: Broken pipe'. Help?
[16:35] <ali1234> enzo: http://home.comcast.net/~fcchandler/stable/index.html (but this is a windows app)
[16:36] <krim> Pici: Can you tell me how or would it be easier if I just looked it up in man?
[16:36] <irenicus> i ghosted ubuntu with norton ghost and i get busybox v1.1.3 and its waiting on a command
[16:36] <luc|f3r> will ubuntu fit on a reg cd?
[16:36] <eth01> !cd
[16:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:36] <oboy03> yes it will fit
[16:36] <irenicus> what can i do?
[16:36] <luc|f3r> k thanks
[16:36] <Pici> krim: find /path/to/files/ | sort > output
[16:36] <krim> Pici: Thanks!
[16:36] <enzo> ok ali1234 (with virtualbox, it should work)
[16:36] <jamesm> Dimitree: Technically since gnomesword is GPL you could by all rights import the bible YOU want to study and hack the code accordingly.  On the gnome-sword site there is a bit of information on doing this (in regards to the current installed Bible) but it would take some research
[16:37] <ali1234> enzo: i expect it would work in wine...
[16:37] <eth01> it won't work.
[16:37] <irenicus> can some one help me
[16:37] <eth01> use the damn version for the os.
[16:37] <Dimitree> jamesm,  ok thank you very much ! :)
[16:38] <Brakkvatn> What seems to be the problem, irenicus ?
[16:38] <enzo> the link you gave me is a patch version of virtualdub ali1234? strange such a useful thing is not already in virtualdb no ?
[16:38] <jamesm> Dimitree: The cool thing about a community driven app like Gnome-Sword is that people would respond and you could probably get it done in a relatively short timeframe
[16:38] <Hisotaso> Pepperjack: ok i figured it out, fstab reffered to /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0, changed it to /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0, works fine now, thanks for your help ^^
[16:38] <oboy03> what does verification issues mean?
[16:38] <maximilion> "rescan-usb": command not found.
[16:38] <jamesm> Dimitree: Honestly I would just user your exsisting software and port it with WINE
[16:38] <Dimitree> jamesm, well i hope i will have luck :)
[16:38] <maximilion> Help :)
[16:38] <KingDong> someone told me ubuntu is made for black people, is that true É
[16:39] <jamesm> probably be the easiest and quickest solution
[16:39] <ali1234> enzo: due to the problems with redistributing mpeg2 decoder software
[16:39] <Dimitree> jamesm, ok i will try that aswell thank you :)
[16:39] <maximilion> KingDong: Yes, except one distro, RedNeck Linux. ;)
[16:39] <pepperjack> Hisotaso: nice np
[16:40] <jburd> mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[16:40] <jburd> dmesg | tail: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0
[16:40] <Pici> KingDong: Ubuntu is for everyone.  This is a support channel, please don't be inappropriate.
[16:40] <jburd> That's what I get.
[16:40] <maximilion> !rescan usb
[16:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rescan usb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:40] <oboy03> bazhang?
[16:40] <bazhang> oboy03: yes?
[16:40] <jburd> No CD or DVD mounts.
[16:40] <o00w_> anyone know how to create an iso from a dvd structure, audio and video directories without burning to dvd
[16:41] <oboy03> what are verification issues?
[16:41] <enzo> ah ok ali1234
[16:41] <o00w_> the directories are on my hdd
[16:41] <oboy03> how do i solve them?
[16:41] <irenicus> i ghosted a version of linux, but after the ghost it wont boot into linux it goes to busybox v1.1.3
[16:41] <Jadd76> Why do I get this error when using VirtualBox ? VBox status code: -102 (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)
[16:41] <stelt> how do i format a (ntfs) partition ?
[16:41] <jamesm> TY Pici -- that kid has to get back to school anyway
[16:41] <pepperjack> oboy03: i might misunderstand but just to create an iso you can dd if=/dev/cdrom of=mahfile.iso
[16:41] <vallhalla81> hi all i am running a old laptop using kubuntu using 6.06 it has no ethernet cable but i have a modem that will run usb how can i get kubuntu to detect it?
[16:42] <oboy03> ?
[16:42] <iari> Anyone know why my laptop does't go into sleep mode when I close it ?
[16:42] <Nulo> stelt, you can use qparted. if the partition is in the same dirve you're using you will need to run qparted from a rescu/live CD
[16:42] <jamesm> vallhalla81: Did you already plug the modem in to the system ?
[16:42] <middayc> I am installing the ubuntu server.. but it stops at the start right after "booting the kernel." .. what could be wrong?
[16:42] <oboy03> bazhang: what caused the problem?
[16:42] <vallhalla81> jamesm i tryed but it didnt sem to work
[16:43]  * maximilion reboots
[16:43] <vallhalla81> so unpluge to come here and ask for advice
[16:43] <bazhang> oboy03: not really sure--sounds like a server issue
[16:43] <iari> How come I don't have a 'shutdown' option ? only 'log off, Switch user, hibernate, suspend ' ...?
[16:43] <oboy03> so i'll just update again?
[16:43] <jamesm> vallhalla81: did you check to ensure that the modem is supported -- what brand and model is it ?
[16:44] <stelt> Nulo, it won't f##k up the other partitions ?  Qparted is what is used in the install from liveCD process, right? (As that crashes everytime)
[16:44] <vallhalla81> a ntl cable modem it is working ok via ethernet on this machine
[16:44] <pepperjack> iari: what you want to mess up your uptime?
[16:44] <vallhalla81> i also checked the usb port it is working too
[16:44] <bod_> anyone know if theres a way to speed up deluge downloads?
[16:45] <StaticSignal> Pici: Thanks, Worked just fine!
[16:45] <oboy03> so there's no solution to firefox?
[16:45] <stelt> Nulo, even in Windoze i can format one partition of a drive while running the OS from the other
[16:45] <bazhang> install transmission bod_ ;]
[16:45] <Pici> StaticSignal: great
[16:45] <bod_> bazhang, whats transmission?
[16:46] <bazhang> official bt client starting in Hardy bod_
[16:46] <oboy03> ?
[16:46] <iari> pepperjack: When I go into Hibernate I can't go back... I must turn off manually..
[16:46] <ftpvk> is there an awn expert here?
[16:46] <bazhang> oboy03: try uninstalling and then reinstalling firefox from synaptic
[16:46] <bod_> bazhang, so its just a different program? ,. is it faster then deluge?
[16:46] <oboy03> ok
[16:46] <bazhang> bod_: it is nice--wont help with deluge though sorry
[16:47] <bod_> bazhang, is it faster then deluge?
[16:47] <maximilion> double-clicking an mp3 file brings up Totem asking for a codec. Recommendation on best mp3 player to just play audio?
[16:47] <Nulo> stelt, you must be careful when partitioning a drive and make sure you back-data. it could indeed be f*cked up. If it's in a different drive you can run qparted from your normal linux installation, but make sure the other drive is NOT mounted
[16:47] <sveakex> ftpvk: hey vyto :)
[16:47] <bod_> maximilion, i use amarok,. but its your choice,. mplayer, vlc
[16:48] <bazhang> bod_: depends on what you use if for, but has been solid here--you might want limit the upload in deluge and number of torrents to just three or four as well
[16:48] <bazhang> want to even
[16:48] <maximilion> bod_: Thanks! Might try vlc, since I have it already... how to make it default for mp3 files?
[16:48] <stelt> Nulo, i already have all the partitions right. It's just that i seem unable to use the NTFS partition
[16:49] <bazhang> bod_: be careful--you come in to ask a question but will forced to stay and answer many more ;]
[16:49] <oboy03> im almost giving up :)
[16:49] <luc|f3r> wish me luck
[16:49] <bod_> bazhang, no thats bad advice,. im downloading games,.,.;~) ,.,. torrent proograms only work on share ratio's, the more you upload the higher priority you willl get from seeders
[16:49] <ftpvk> IS THERE AN AVANT WINDOWS EXPERT HERE
[16:49] <luc|f3r> its done
[16:49] <jamesm> crickey  -- he left
[16:49] <luc|f3r> gonna reboot
[16:49] <bod_> bazhang, yer
[16:49] <Nulo> stelt, in htat case what you need is to mount it properly, not re-partition it.
[16:49] <bod_> maximilion, right click on an mp3 file
[16:49] <VOiCi> Anyone know a tool to extract data from .swf on linux
[16:49] <bod_> maximilion, properties, theres a tab caled open with,m.,. change default in there
[16:49] <k0p> Hi. a macbook santa rosa works with ubuntu 32 bits? I install and I have a troubles with wireless. do u know something about it?
[16:50] <lolfrenz> VOiCi, flasm
[16:50] <eth01> k0p, incompatible.
[16:50] <bazhang> bod_: but the main issue is how much you allow for upload at one time--not how long you seed for
[16:50] <bod_> !SHOUT | ftpvk
[16:50] <ubotu> ftpvk: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[16:50] <stelt> Nulo, i know, but mount says it's not ntfs (while cfdisk says it is)
[16:50] <k0p> eth01: so.. only with ubuntu 64bits?
[16:50] <VOiCi> lolfrenz, thanks :)
[16:50] <eth01> ftpvk, #windows
[16:50] <ftpvk> okay okay
[16:50] <maximilion> bod_: Lovely! Thanks.
[16:50] <luc|f3r> how do i boot it?
[16:51] <eth01> k0p, you think that'll make a difference?
[16:51] <luc|f3r> do i need to reboot?
[16:51] <ftpvk> so is there
[16:51] <jamesm> VOiCi: what are you trying to extract from the file -- data and code or pics ?
[16:51] <oboy03> finally
[16:51] <eth01> ftpvk, ?
[16:51] <Nulo> stelt, in that case i'm afraid i can't help you.
[16:51] <bod_> bazhang, you misunderstand me,. 10 seeders, 5 leechers = 20% capacity per leecher,. if you upload speed is at unlimited and someone else is at 1kbps the torrent program will give you some of there % because you are seeding more then them
[16:51] <VOiCi> jamesm, text
[16:51] <bazhang> luc|f3r: you got the livecd burned to disk? then just reboot with it in the cd drive--though you may have to point the bios to look for it first
[16:51] <bod_> maximilion, no probs
[16:51] <k0p> eth01: I don't know.. Time ago there aren't some software to ubuntu 64bits. am I right?
[16:52] <ftpvk> anyone??
[16:52] <maximilion> bod_: What do you use for torrents?
[16:52] <k0p> eth01: like w32codecs..
[16:52] <ftpvk> anyone??
[16:52] <bod_> maximilion, i use deluge, but i might change to transmission,.,.;~)
[16:52] <whoaitsphil> can anyone gimme some advice? i'm trying to install ubuntu on my windows XP desktop...install was going fine, it was about 60% done then it got an error with the cd or cdrom reading it...quit the install...now i have all the HDD space missing that i allocated to the install and i can't resume the install. what should i do to get things back to normal and try to install again?
[16:52] <bod_> !repeat | ftpvk
[16:52] <ubotu> ftpvk: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[16:52] <maximilion> Any easy to install ones in Synaptic that you recommend? Firewall hassle?
[16:53] <bod_> ftpvk, you asked for a windows user, go to ##windows
[16:53] <sveakex> is there a lithuanian ubuntu channel?
[16:53] <oboy03> now i got a broken package oclock
[16:53] <oboy03> :(
[16:53] <sveakex> bod_: he meant awn
[16:53] <bod_> !lithuania
[16:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lithuania - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:53] <bazhang> whoaitsphil: that sounds serious--could you try the install process from the beginning again?
[16:53] <bod_> sveakex, oops,.,. i dont know what an awn is,.,.lol,.,ty
[16:54] <whoaitsphil> when i do i have to go through the partition options again and the HDD space is missing...30gb that i allocated to the first install
[16:54] <sveakex> bod_: awant windows navigator i think
[16:54] <sveakex> bod_: avant*
[16:54] <bod_> sveakex, ok,.ty
[16:54] <sveakex> ^^
[16:54] <bazhang> maximilion: transmission goes through port 80 so no port forward or firewall hassle at all
[16:54] <bod_> whoaitsphil, i have a solution
[16:54] <stelt> how do i format a ntfs partition?
[16:55] <oboy03> what should i do with oclock as broken package?
[16:55] <whoaitsphil> yes, bod?
[16:55] <Catachan> any one know how to change the color of the screen that pops up right after you log in to gnome?
[16:55] <bazhang> oboy03: what is oclock
[16:55] <bod_> whoaitsphil, put your xp cd in and begin an install, dw, were not gonna reinstall it,. it will get to a partition manager thing,. delete the partition given for ubuntu, then create a new empty partition, then power off
[16:55] <whoaitsphil> ahhh yes
[16:55] <bod_> ;~)
[16:55] <whoaitsphil> great idea
[16:55] <whoaitsphil> gonna try it now
[16:56] <bod_> kk,.lemme no how it goes
[16:56] <oboy03> i dunno it says i have a broken package oclock
[16:56] <whoaitsphil> k thanks
[16:56] <bod_> np
[16:56] <oboy03> should i remove it?
[16:56] <middayc> which linux distro supports widest array of hardware? I am trying to install multiple variations of debian and ubuntu on compaq w6000 workstation since yesterday without any luck
[16:56] <bod_> bazhang, why is it, when i come in for a question, i end up staying answering loads more?,.,.lol,.,. i dont mind though,.,.:~)
[16:56] <iari_> Does anyone know why my Laptop doesn't come out of hibernate/Suspend mode ?
[16:57] <sveakex> middayc: probably none if ubuntu won't go
[16:57] <oboy03> ubuntu is frustrating :(
[16:57] <bod_> iari_, check power settings in your system bios
[16:57] <bazhang> oboy03: sounds like there are either internet connection problems on your end or server issues--you might want to try another server and see if that helps out
[16:57] <bod_> oboy03, only when you dont know how to fix it
[16:57] <oboy03> hope i can just inject all the info in my head :)
[16:57] <maximilion> bazhang: ok, will try an apt-get
[16:57] <iari_> bod_: What should I be looking for?
[16:57] <oboy03> yeah
[16:57] <bazhang> bod_: hahaha
[16:57] <oboy03> ok
[16:57] <oboy03> i'll try those
[16:58] <RainCT> Hi
[16:58] <oboy03> i'll reboot my pc and modem
[16:58] <bod_> iari_, -->power settings--> anythiong to do with hibernation/sleep,
[16:58] <bazhang> middayc: ubuntu--but we have to say that in #ubuntu ;]
[16:58] <ftpvk> is there a good mathematics-plotting software for linux?
[16:58] <iari_> bod_: Thank you I'll try..
[16:59] <RainCT> Do you know if there's any program to freeze an account (so that any change the users do will be reverted on reboot)?
[16:59] <bod_> middayc, we are biased in here,.,.;~)
[16:59] <jrib> ftpvk: gnuplot?
[16:59] <bod_> iari_np
[16:59] <ftpvk> anything else
[16:59] <maximilion> oh, never mind :) Opera's bittorrent is running at 280KB/s :D
[16:59] <ftpvk> can you do it with octave
[16:59] <bazhang> hehe
[16:59] <maximilion> Must have tried a dead torrent before
[16:59] <sveakex> maximilion: why not use rtorrent? :P
[16:59] <jrib> ftpvk: yes
[17:00] <ftpvk> which is better, you think
[17:00] <dimedo> hi there, can anyone help me cross-compiling a library for i386 arch on my ubuntu amd64 machine?
[17:00] <bod_> RainCT, i seem to remember something about *nix systems keeping a log of every command done, wether threw terminal or gui,.,. research it??maybe??
[17:00] <jrib> ftpvk: they've both done what I've needed them to do.  Why not just try both?
[17:01] <jrib> ftpvk: octave apparently uses gnuplot anyway: http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/textbooks/octave/octave_15.html
[17:01] <maximilion> Well, I've always been an Opera fan, and since 9.2 when it works with every single banking, security, etc page on the net I've become an Opera fan-atic :D If Opera had WebDev plugin and Firebug I'd delete Firefox as I have IE ;)
[17:01] <spike> hi, is anybody using postit?
[17:01] <bod_> notes!
[17:01] <bod_> no sorry
[17:01] <maximilion> As I have _deleted_ IE (clarification)
[17:01] <oboy03> im back
[17:01] <spike> I cant seem to be able to keep them visible when I switch virtual desktop
[17:02] <bod_> brb,. nature calls
[17:02] <helyo> hello, anyone installed E17 from Elbuntu repos?? Cause I have questions please.
[17:02] <oboy03> what do u usually do with broken packages? completely remove?
[17:02] <ftpvk> jrib: which one do you find more user friendly
[17:02] <Jouva> Is there a way I can get the gdm login screen's monitor resolution to match that of what I use for my desktop session? For one thing it gets a little annoying when it has to switch between the resolutions after login, and secondly, the gdm screen looks squished
[17:02] <maximilion> OK, 1240KB/s now :P
[17:03] <hieppo> does anyone know how I can set up my apc ups?
[17:03] <jrib> ftpvk: they're the same, you need to make this decision based on *your* ideas of what makes something user-friendly
[17:03] <hieppo> it is a usb version?  I don't know if ubuntu automatically install the driver
[17:03] <ftpvk> jrib:ok, thanks!
[17:04] <jrib> ftpvk: np
[17:04] <RainCT> bod_: I was thinking on something simpler (like keeping a compressed copy of the home dir and then removing /home/<user> on startup and restoring it from the copy).. Actually, I already started a script for this, but if a program for this already existed it would save me some work
[17:04] <RainCT> well, another question then.. how can I disable the beep that the terminal does (including in tty's, not only gnome-terminal)?
[17:04] <hieppo> any help is appreciated.
[17:05] <jburd> Why the heck on Earth am I dealing with a stupid mount problem in 2008?
[17:05] <ePax> I have dualboot ubuntu ant vista... how do i remove ubuntu... i have to return my comp? anyone?
[17:05] <bod_> RainCT, if you want a script that replaces /home    cant that be done with 1 command,.,. sudo cp /path/to/backup /home      (and force yes to all questions)
[17:05] <bazhang> ePax: remove ubuntu? in #ubuntu ? perhaps not the right place to ask ;]
[17:05] <hon> ePax: they usually reinstall the OS on return computers.
[17:05] <bod_> RainCT, its a modprobe,. 1 sec
[17:05] <oboy03> i am now completely removing oclock broken package
[17:06] <RainCT> bod_: indeed, but with simple I didn't mean *that* simple :)
[17:06] <unstable> I want to burn 8 gigs, onto a dual layer dvd. it's lots and lots of files and directories, can I just burn these as is... or do I need to wrap them up?
[17:06] <helyo> hello, anyone installed E17 from Elbuntu repos?? Cause I have questions please.
[17:06] <sveakex> ePax: you can edit your partitions in vista i think, there is a software built in for it. however i do not know how it will affect your MBR so you might have to overwrite that, in XP you boot with the xp cd and rewrite it
[17:06] <ePax> bazhang: Pleae save me dumb comment... as i said... im returning my comp and changing to another one... wich in that case means that anothe rone will run ubuntu
[17:06] <geoaxis> if i have my mail stored in mbox format at a place
[17:07] <bod_> RainCT, third post down : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=531781 ,.,. and what will your script be doing exactly?
[17:07] <ePax> sveakex: thank you very much
[17:07] <oboy03> anyway
[17:07] <whoaitsphil> bod, i went in the XP setup cd but when i got to the partition screen it froze...which is weird i've never had that freeze before...but i had 30gb NTFS with 15gb used...had to be my XP partition...then 1800mb unknown and 43gb unknown...so it might actually be working right i'm gonna have to go into the ubuntu partition installer again and probably do manual?
[17:07] <geoaxis> how can i retrieve it to a new location in maildir format
[17:07] <oboy03> bazhang thanks for the help
[17:07] <geoaxis> ( i am migrating my services)
[17:07] <bazhang> ePax: again--no idea about ##windows
[17:07] <oboy03> seems i got more problems now
[17:07] <enzo> ali_ is that you ali1234 ?
[17:07] <sveakex> ePax: google around for more about the MBR issues with vista. :)
[17:07] <sveakex> ePax: and how to partition it within vista
[17:07] <oboy03> i mean its not because you helped me
[17:07] <oboy03> anyway
[17:07] <RainCT> bod_: thanks
[17:07] <Pici> ePax: or ask in ##windows
[17:07] <bod_> whoaitsphil, how many os's or partitions do you have/need    ??
[17:08] <whoaitsphil> i only have XP installed
[17:08] <whoaitsphil> and i want ubuntu installed as well
[17:08] <whoaitsphil> simple dual boot
[17:08] <bod_> RainCT, your script? what exactly do you want it to do?
[17:08] <whoaitsphil> i've done it many times before...but i got screwed up cause of a cd rom read error this time on install
[17:08] <ePax> sveakex: i hade problem with mbr and i kinda solved it... cos vista would boot... not that i use vista much... but i kinda payed for it
[17:08] <eagle-101> whoaitsphil, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[17:09] <oboy03> aahahahah
[17:09] <KenSentMe> Is the uuid in /etc/fstab unique for a certain hd? If i put in a certain disk and mount it to /media/disk_a and have another line in fstab for a second hd that i want to be mounted in /media/disk_b, will the uuid make sure the different drives are mounted to the proper folder, even if they are both for example /dev/sdb1?
[17:09] <bod_> whoaitsphil, firstly id do it cean,.,. meaning remove all partitions except the xp, then use the ubuntu cd,.,. but you right click on my computer, theres a choice called 'manage'  in there you can remove partitions
[17:09] <oboy03> now even the terminal is messed up
[17:09] <sveakex> ePax: if you know hot to solve the mbr issue then it is only the removing partitions one left (within vista) ;)
[17:09] <oboy03> another child process problem
[17:09] <whoaitsphil> ok...well i was doing it clean...i only had XP installed and then i was installing ubuntu
[17:09] <eagle-101> KenSentMe, what do you mean by uid?
[17:09] <whoaitsphil> ubuntu just booted again by cd..im gonna see what i can do
[17:09] <KenSentMe> eagle-101, there is a uuid in /etc/fstab for every partition
[17:09] <sveakex> ePax: my vista got unusable after 6 months until i went over to ubuntu and then to arch linux
[17:10] <bod_> whoaitsphil, you said you had unexplained/unneeded partitions,.,. start again with just the 1
[17:10] <Assid> heya
[17:10] <eagle-101> KenSentMe, under proc? my fstab does not mention uid at all
[17:10] <BabyDoll> hey guys its me luc|f3r
[17:10] <bod_> hi
[17:10] <ePax> sveakex: i got bluescreen 2 hours after i started vista
[17:10] <ePax> :D
[17:10] <whoaitsphil> well i had a bad partition because ubuntu only half installed on it
[17:10] <KenSentMe> eagle-101, mine does
[17:10] <BabyDoll> so im on the livecd and it sees the card but it wont connect
[17:10] <whoaitsphil> thats the one i gotta get rid of and redo
[17:10] <Assid> ePax: i just formatted xp to get on hardy alpha
[17:10] <eagle-101> KenSentMe, here is mine http://rafb.net/p/m2ZduX85.html
[17:10] <bod_> whoaitsphil, do it in the 'manage' thing i told you about
[17:10] <sveakex> ePax: hehe, stick to ubuntu or any other linux distro is my advice, but do what you want to do ;)
[17:10] <Assid> decided xp makes good for gaming.. and lets just keep it there if possible
[17:11] <oboy03> i guess reformatting will easily solve my problems
[17:11] <eagle-101> whoaitsphil, ah, ok, open up fdisk, find the bad partition and delete it
[17:11] <sveakex> Assid: Wintendo 32bit XP Edition ;)
[17:11] <KenSentMe> eagle-101, the uuid is at the beginning of the lines in my fstab
[17:11] <BabyDoll> what i do to get my wiresless card working right?
[17:11] <eagle-101> KenSentMe, wanna pastebin yours?
[17:11] <RainCT> bod_: get the settings from a configuration file, have a command to gain root permission without being in the admin group (still have to look how to do this) and take a new copy of the home directory set in the config file, and restore it from there on boot (and on the way empty the printer jobs queue). isn't really much, but I asked as if there's something like this with GUI it would indeed be better
[17:11] <sveakex> Assid: or even better, Wintendo32 XP Edition, haha XD
[17:11] <Assid> sveakex: more like XPot 32 edition
[17:12] <sveakex> Assid: hehe x)

[17:12] <stupid> I am having some problems getting the cd to start on another computer. It got an intergrated ati x1250 and the X-server on the cd doesnt seem to cope with it. How do i proceed with the installation?
[17:12] <bod_> RainCT, actually, as a new scripter myself, id be happy to attempt to write that for you,.. if you'd let me, but it may take me a short while,.,.

[17:13]  * eagle-101 wonders if that is a ubuntu specific thing
[17:13] <bod_> stupid, use the alternative cd,. or go into recovery mode/single user,.,. and do     dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[17:13] <bod_> BabyDoll, turn it on
[17:14] <sveakex> Assid: Wintendo is an awesome name imo, it really defines Windows
[17:14] <BabyDoll> the firmware wont enable

[17:15] <Haz_> lets say i wanted to reconfigure the x-server on my ubuntu machine. how would i go about doing this? dpkg-reconfigure?
[17:15] <sveakex> Assid: on bootup on Windows XP i should replace the boot image with Wintendo! x')
[17:15] <BabyDoll> ubuntu doesnt see my dell wireless 1390 card
[17:15] <bod_> Haz_, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[17:15] <nathan__> how do i change my key board layout to dvorak and also make it a systemwide chamnge

[17:15] <Assid> sveakex: why not.. i plan to put it as the penguin doing BAD things to windows logo
[17:16] <eagle-101> KenSentMe, did yous see what Pici showed me? I think that answers your question
[17:16] <sveakex> Assid: hehe, that is also funny
[17:16] <brodden> how can I set "USB-Mixer" to be the outputdevice for ALSA at winecfg?
[17:16] <Assid> yo Pici wassup mate!
[17:16] <brodden> because sound work with alsa, but not mic.. both sound and mic work with OSS (where input and output is usb-mixer) but it has to be ALSA
[17:16] <brodden> if not I cant be on ventrilo and wolfenstein at the same time
[17:16] <knoppix__> my ubuntu no longer boots, i get grub error 15, how can i fix it?

[17:18] <bod_> RainCT, go for it,. pastebin it
[17:19] <RainCT> bod_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/4307/
[17:19] <bod_> RainCT, and could you give me a detailed explanation of what you wish to achieve
[17:20] <sveakex> radim: that is why
[17:20] <Bodsda> RainCT, this is bod_
[17:20] <sveakex> radim: i think you might have to reinstall grub through knoppix now (i guess you are using that now), which i do not know how to do
[17:21] <sveakex> radim: so ask somebody else about it
[17:21] <^Elfboy> will sone one look at thia please http://www.pastebin.ca/895189
[17:22] <Bodsda> ^Elfboy, do what it says?
[17:22] <^Elfboy> read the http://www.pastebin.ca/895189
[17:22] <bazhang> heh
[17:22] <Bodsda> ^Elfboy, i did
[17:23] <Bodsda> ^Elfboy, it tells you what to do to fix it,.,??
[17:23] <^Elfboy> umm then i did not understan it :)
[17:24] <Bodsda> ^Elfboy,  get the ncurses library
[17:24] <^Elfboy> kk
[17:24] <^Elfboy> just apt-get http://www.pastebin.ca/895189
[17:24] <^Elfboy> ops
[17:24] <Bodsda> bazhang, do you ever find yourself fixing people problems, with commen sense and logic, even if you dont really no what your doing?
[17:24] <stupid> On the installation live-cd, how do i reach the terminal if i cannot get into X ?
[17:24] <^Elfboy> just apt-get ncurses library
[17:25] <Bodsda> ^Elfboy, synaptic search the word        ncurses
[17:25] <Bodsda> stupid, recovery mode from grub,.,. or i think its like ctrl+F1     not sure though
[17:26] <mocoloco> >stupid, just hit crt+alt+F2 and you'll be at a terminal
[17:26] <Bodsda> mocoloco, ty,. il remember that,.,.:~)
[17:26] <mocoloco> ctrl+alt+F1-6 are all terminals in fact, and ctrl+alt+F7 is your first graphical login (when X is working of course)
[17:27] <Bodsda> mocoloco, are they run levels?
[17:27] <^Elfboy> sorry to sound stupid but this is my frist time with ubuntu so how do i  synaptic search ncurses
[17:27] <^Elfboy> im use to portage :)
[17:27] <mocoloco> not sure bodsda, I never really learned what that means :)
[17:27] <Jouva> Bodsda: F1-F6? No they're just virtual terminals
[17:28] <Bodsda> ^Elfboy, System-->Admin-->Synaptic    when there click the search button, then type    ncurses    then click search,.,.sorry i didnt realise you were a new user
[17:28] <^Elfboy> umm
[17:28] <bazhang> Bodsda: hehe dont tell others ;]
[17:28] <^Elfboy> no x
[17:28] <Bodsda> Jouva, ok,.,.ty,.,.virtual?
[17:28] <^Elfboy> its a server
[17:28] <Bodsda> ^Elfboy, ah,.,.hang on,. il find the exact package name for you
[17:28] <Jouva> Bodsda: As opposed to physical :)
[17:28] <RainCT> Bodsda: let it get the configuration from /etc/freeze.conf (which could be for example something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/4309/, but doesn't need to be exactly like that), let the save option take the name of which's users home you want to re-copy (also allow "all" to copy them all again, or try to detect if the user who is running the command is in the config file and use that one if no other one is indicated;
[17:28] <RainCT> Bodsda:  the script should become $admin and from there gain sudo powers to copy the dir), and the 'start' part should be run for all users in the config file. I think I had thought of something more but I can't remember now..
[17:28] <RichiH> ^Elfboy: aptitude search ncurses
[17:28] <^Elfboy> ok thanks Bodsda thanks
[17:29] <RichiH> ^Elfboy: or apt-cache search, if you prefer
[17:29] <RichiH> ^Elfboy: both work on cli
[17:29] <mocoloco> elfboy, do sudo aptitude.  it's not too tough to search in there.  Ctrl-T will open the menu, from there you can figure it out fairly easily
[17:30] <Bodsda> RainCT, i thought you just wanted to make sure any changes done by a certain user (eg 1 person) was reverted on reboot?
[17:30] <Bodsda> ^Elfboy, i cant find that package in my synaptic, might be a server thing,.,. sorry not to sure
[17:31] <^Elfboy> ok
[17:31] <^Elfboy> thanks
[17:31] <Bodsda> Jouva, as opposed to physical,. i believe that nothing on my screen i can phsically minipulate because its all virtual?
[17:31] <RainCT> Bodsda: yes..
[17:31] <BabyDoll> ...
[17:31] <RichiH> ^Elfboy: did you read what i wrote?
[17:31] <Jouva> Bodsda: 6 terminals as opposed to 6 physical monitors :P
[17:32] <Bodsda> RainCT, if you just want to revert changes on one account, i think your overcomplicating things
[17:32] <Jouva> err
[17:32] <Jouva> Bodsda: 6 "virtual" terminals as opposed to 6 physical monitors :P
[17:32] <Bodsda> Jouva, right, got ya
[17:32] <Bodsda> ty
[17:32] <Bodsda> :~)
[17:32] <Catachan> any one know how to change the color of the screen that pops up right after you log in to gnome?
[17:32] <Jouva> Bodsda: Essentially the runlevel includes information on how many terminals to create and what daemons to run on startup. And the default one for Ubuntu desktop includes running GNOME Display Manager
[17:33] <bXi> anyone here with a dell xps m1730?
[17:33] <Jouva> Catachan: System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[17:33] <whoaitsphil> bod i got a problem...
[17:33] <Bodsda> ?
[17:33] <RainCT> Bodsda: atm it's only one account but it might become more (and I'm planning to improve it in the future, like also creating a GUI for it)
[17:33] <Bodsda> oh,.ok
[17:33] <whoaitsphil> i've deleted the old partition of the failed ubuntu install
[17:33] <Drakaen> Question... how can I access my Linux Drive while in windows?
[17:33] <helyo> Hello anyone has installed E17 on Gutsy?
[17:33] <Bodsda> whoaitsphil, so?
[17:33] <^Elfboy> RichiH: sorry i did not see what u ssaid
[17:34] <RainCT> Bodsda: anyway, if you see anything you can improve on what I send you please feel free to do so :)
[17:34] <mocoloco> Catachan, that's a bug that causes it to be brown, even when you change the color in the login screen settings.  Let me find you a link to the fix...
[17:34] <Bodsda> RainCT, ah ok,.,. im not as good at scripting as you,.,.:~)
[17:34] <Catachan> Jouva, that seems to only affect the desktop color and the login screen's color. Between the log in screen and the fully loaded desk top I get that orangish color on my monitor
[17:34] <whoaitsphil> so right now under my manual parition editor in ubuntu it has sda1 32gb NTFS...sda2 45gb ext3...and sda5 1990mb swap
[17:34] <Catachan> mocoloco, that would be appreciated
[17:34] <whoaitsphil> the 32gb ntfs is my window.s..i really dont wanna lose anything on that
[17:34] <Catachan> thank you
[17:34] <Jouva> Drakaen: That's a big 100% definite absolute... maybe. You essentially need drivers in windows that support the particular file system used. Overall, don't expect full working support :)
[17:35] <iari> My laptop doesn't go into hibernation / Suspend mode. When I try switching to hibernate the screen goes black and there's a blinking '_' like DOS mode... I can't type or do anything except shutting down using the power button..
[17:35] <whoaitsphil> sda2 has been deleted and created again but when i try to install ubuntu on it, it says there is an error and cant do it
[17:35] <Bodsda> whoaitsphil, what error?
[17:35] <RichiH> ^Elfboy: use apt-cache search and/or aptitude search to look for ncurses packages
[17:35] <mocoloco> Here's the GDM background color fix http://bapoumba.wordpress.com/2007/10/24/change-gdm-background-color-to-match-your-gdm-theme-applies-to-xfce/
[17:35] <Drakaen> i am just looking at passing files back and forth like u can do the other way (linux able to open the windows drive
[17:36] <^Elfboy> RichiH:  thansk it list a lot fo file
[17:36] <Catachan> whoaitsphil, did you make sure to format sda2 as an ext2 or preferably ext3?
[17:36] <Jouva> Drakaen: Write access may be MUCH harder to come across than read access at all
[17:36] <whoaitsphil> all i did was delete it
[17:36] <Drakaen> ahh
[17:36] <whoaitsphil> then go back and do the guided
[17:36] <mocoloco> just noticed it says xfce, but it works for anything using gdm, ie gnome
[17:36] <whoaitsphil> and it says
[17:36] <Jouva> Drakaen: If you went with defaults, I believe the default is ext3. So you'll need to find something that lets you mount ext3 within windows
[17:36] <corvus>  join #ubuntu-fr

[17:37] <danbhfive> Riddell: pong
[17:37] <Drakaen> any ideas what can be used... one person said samba but im not sure it will work
[17:37] <Jouva> Drakaen: http://www.fs-driver.org/  seems to be a potential good start
[17:37] <whoaitsphil> The test of the file system with type ext3 in partition #2 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) found uncorrected errors.   If you do not go back to the partitioning menu and correct these errors, the partition will be used as is.

If it's NOT then you CAN'T use samba because you can't boot both OSes at the same time without some sort of special software. In this case just use the ext2/ext3 driver
[17:42] <danbhfive> blackv1: whats the output of this command: ls ~/.mozilla/plugins
[17:42] <blackv1>  No such file or directory
[17:42] <thatoldchestnut> sorry to repeat myself. I'm trying to create a partition on my PC using gparted having booted off the ubuntu live cd (so that I can dual boot), but each time I try to create it and it reaches the point where it says 'real resize', my PC freezes. any ideas?
[17:43] <kercyr> I'm looking for advice about wireless adapter for an 7.10 install.  Searching seems to indicate it's a pretty spotty part in Linux's hardware support.   Are there any sure bets?
[17:43] <blackv1> worked fine until I ran an update for flash this morning
[17:43] <danbhfive> blackv1: how about this command: locate libflashplayer.so
[17:43] <dgjones> Riddell, I also have 821cc72359a937caef85bb4cc74ef5cd  /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[17:43] <blackv1> now it says it's not installed?
[17:43] <Fratm> Anyone notice the latest 7.10 updates broke flash?
[17:43] <kercyr> I had some problems with flash this mroning too.
[17:43] <Invisible_Ubunti> I'm trying to find out how to install the GNOME theme manager where it shows up under System -> Preferences
[17:43] <Fratm> (i guess so)
[17:44] <kercyr> but removing and reinstalling fixed it.
[17:44] <blackv1> danbhfive: nothing
[17:44] <LjL> Fratm, blackv1: i think you should try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree »
[17:44] <mocoloco> blackv1, is it maybe related to this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3929669
[17:45] <whoaitsphil> i'm dual booting XP and ubuntu...on the manual partition setup for ubuntu should i make the partition primary or logical and beginning or end and what should i set as mount point? i already have XP installed
[17:45] <bobbob1016> thatoldchestnut: Is it resizing an NTFS drive?  If so, did you shut down Windows correctly?  NTFS-3G, which gparted uses to the best of my knowledge, requires a clean shut-down.
[17:45] <mocoloco> Invisible_Ubunti, you can change themes under System -> Preferences -> Appearance.  Does that have what you need?
[17:46] <NoOneImportant> how do I use ladspa?
[17:46] <Fratm> LjL, that worked.
[17:46] <bwf> whoaitsphil: make one partition for ubuntu your primary partition and define the mount point as root, then have a logical partition as your swap
[17:46] <AnAnt> Hello, how can I edit the Applications menu ?
[17:46] <Invisible_Ubunti> mocoloco, Yes, all the pages i've read tell me to do it the other way
[17:47] <thatoldchestnut> bobbob1016: yes, it's NTFS, which I understand linux doesn't like very much anyway. as far as I know windows shut down correctly, I restarted my computer properly and made it boot off the CD in the BIOS
[17:47] <whoaitsphil> should i set them both at the end of the partition?
[17:47] <LjL> !away > Veinor|away    (Veinor|away, see the private message from Ubotu)
[17:47] <AnAnt> I find launchers that don't exist in /usr/share/applications/
[17:47] <bastid_raZor> are there any issues with ntfs-3g ? aptitude put the latest release on hold for some reason
[17:47] <blackv1> LjL: thanks! that fixed it :)
[17:47] <mocoloco> Invisible, that's probably because the appearance section is new in ubuntu 7.10
[17:47] <bobbob1016> whoaitsphil: That depends on a number of things.  I'll explain the difference, and you can figure out what you want.  To the best of my knowledge, there can only be 4 primary partitions, a logical acts as one primary, but can have many partitions inside it.
[17:48] <BabyDoll> my livecd doesnt wanna boot anymore :( wtf
[17:48] <LjL> bobbob1016: no, an *extended* acts as a primary, and an extended can contain logical partitions
[17:48] <bwf> whoaitsphil: the primary partion should not be part of any other partition but stand alone.
[17:48] <bobbob1016> thatoldchestnut: That is all I can help with, I don't know what would cause your issue, apart from not having a clean shutdown.
[17:48] <mocoloco> AnAnt, just right-click on applications and click "Edit Menus"
[17:48] <thatoldchestnut> rightio. don't worry, no one else seems to know either haha
[17:49] <sixstorm> why does linux have to suck with the newest hardware?
[17:49] <bobbob1016> whoaitsphil: Sorry, I was mistaken, Ljl corrected me, replace logical with extended in my response.  Sorry, I'm in class atm.
[17:50] <mocoloco> sixstrom, the answer is it doesn't have to :)  if companies made linux drivers as quickly as for Windows there wouldn't be issues
[17:50] <bobbob1016> sixstorm: Depends on what new hardware you mean.  But the answer would be that companies don't make drivers for new things, and the drivers have to be made by outside people for linux.
[17:50] <whoaitsphil> thanks...i think i've got it working...i think my windows xp partition might be screwed up though
[17:50] <sixstorm> mocoloco:  yeah i understand that.  ubuntu just doesn't wanna fully work with my 8800GT
[17:51] <bastid_raZor> whoaitsphil; everytime i've done any tweaking of a primary partition with windows i've 'always' had to put the windows cd in and do a restore.. windows tosses system files all over a partition
[17:51] <LukeLC> !help
[17:51] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[17:51] <hon> sixstorm: you stepped on the "nvidia driver can of worms". you can keep checking phoronix and such
[17:51] <whoaitsphil> do a restore? or a repair?
[17:51] <sixstorm> hon:  ;)
[17:51] <bastid_raZor> whoaitsphil; repair..
[17:52] <whoaitsphil> ah ok
[17:52] <kercyr> If you have any advice about wireless adapters (pci or usb) on ubuntu, please let me know.  Thanks.  I'm going to go work on other things...
[17:52] <whoaitsphil> so i will still have everything?
[17:52] <bobbob1016> sixstorm: The better phrasing would be your 8800GT doesn't want to work with Ubuntu.  nvidia drivers are usually good though, once they support the hardware with their driver.
[17:52] <bastid_raZor> whoaitsphil; basically all it done was remove the system files at the end of the partition. everything worked fine just had to put those files back on the partition
[17:52] <whoaitsphil> cool, thanks
[17:53] <sixstorm> bobbob:  yeah, i know.  i just remember having a slighty older PC and ubuntu would just FLY and be 100% functional
[17:53] <Nuclear> whoaitsphil: you will have to reinstall your applications as your registry will be reset to its original state
[17:53] <sixstorm> but with a Q6600 and 8800GT, it's just not all that fantastic
[17:53] <Nuclear> whoaitsphil: but the data on the partition should remain intact
[17:53] <bobbob1016> sixstorm: Yeah, that is because the drivers have to be made by hand basically.
[17:53] <whoaitsphil> k...will i be able to copy stuff from my windows partition to my ubuntu?
[17:53] <AnAnt> mocoloco: thans
[17:53] <bastid_raZor> Nuclear; whoaitsphil i've not seen it to extent.
[17:53] <hon> sixstorm: good news is that there is an nvidia driver being written paid by novell.
[17:53] <AnAnt> mocoloco: thanks
[17:53] <^punisher> sup?
[17:53] <^punisher> good
[17:53] <bastid_raZor> that
[17:54] <sixstorm> hon:  sweet!
[17:54] <BabyDoll> how can i get my dell wireless 1390 card to work
[17:54] <hon> once that lands, well, things won't suck so much.
[17:54] <Nuclear> bastid_raZor: pardon?
[17:54] <bazhang> BabyDoll: open up a terminal and type lspci
[17:55] <[revamped]> how to get special effects more than default ones ?
[17:55] <bastid_raZor> Nuclear; i've done several computers that way and have never had to reinstall apps after doing a repair.
[17:55] <bazhang> install ccsm [revamped]
[17:55] <TtyS2> trying to alter fstab to mount a share on my lan, whats wrong  //172.16.200.100/W	/mnt/w	smb	user,rw,auto,exec	0	0
[17:55] <BabyDoll> k next?
[17:55] <bardyr> how can i do a speed test on a raid?
[17:55] <bazhang> BabyDoll: that meant for me?
[17:55] <BabyDoll> ya
[17:55] <[revamped]> bazhang are you sure its for desktop effects ?
[17:56] <bazhang> [revamped]: heh, yeah pretty sure ;]
[17:56] <TKingdom> So I used Envy to install the latest ATI drivers, but in the Restricted Drivers Manager it says "In use" but Enabled isn't clicked.  This is normal, correct?
[17:56] <[revamped]> okay bazhang , any command line ? :$
[17:56] <thatoldchestnut> is EXT3 the best option use when installing ubuntu? as opposed to NTFS.
[17:56] <Nuclear> bastid_raZor: I see, I've noticed that it restores the registry to a previous point before. Nevermind then ;-)
[17:57] <sp> thatoldchestnut: installing GNU/Linux (which includes Ubuntu) on NTFS is not going to work out, believe me
[17:57] <thatoldchestnut> haha
[17:57] <thatoldchestnut> right
[17:57] <thatoldchestnut> maybe that's why it freezes when I try to do the partition
[17:57] <sp> thatoldchestnut: you could use reiserfs or xfs, but ext3 is the de-facto standard
[17:57] <bazhang> [revamped]: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-gnome (emerald if you wish as well)
[17:57] <bastid_raZor> Nuclear; possibly i hadn't installed any new apps in windows to the previous registry point it restored to. i'm sure it isn't impossible to happen with windows
[17:57] <[revamped]> thanks bazhang
[17:58] <sp> thatoldchestnut: should not be the reason for that, really, sounds like a bug, but installing on NTFS is not going to work as I said
[17:58] <thatoldchestnut> mind you, I did try to make the unallocated space into EXT3 when I was trying to make the partition then, and it still froze up
[17:58] <Zodiac`> a friend of mine can have both output and input in ALSA, and it works nice.. but Wine only shows output.. (means he cant talk in mic while using alsa, and OSS isnt an option when playing)
[17:58] <Nuclear> bastid_raZor: nothing is...
[17:58] <bazhang> [revamped]: no worries ;]
[17:58] <BabyDoll> at the very end i see network controller: broadcom Corporation BMC94311MCG wlan
[17:58] <TKingdom> bazhang: any idea why Compiz stopped working after I did 'dist-upgrade' and restarted?
[17:58] <BabyDoll> but im running off livecd to see if it would see my card
[17:59] <thatoldchestnut> sp: a bug with my computer, or with the software? I heard there's an 'alternate' version of ubuntu I can try to download instead, I don't know whether that's wrong or not
[17:59] <Aloha> what would cause my wireless connection to hang for awhile and then start going again after awhile?
[17:59] <bazhang> TKingdom: that was from feisty?
[17:59] <TKingdom> gutsy
[17:59] <sp> thatoldchestnut: maybe a software bug, but why do you want to create a NTFS partition anyways?
[18:00] <sp> thatoldchestnut: if you plan on creating a dual-boot environment you should install the other operating system first anyways
[18:00] <bazhang> BabyDoll: if you want to get someone's attention best to use their nickname--you can type the first three or so letters and then hit the tab key
[18:00] <bazhang> TKingdom: gutsy to hardy?
[18:00] <thatoldchestnut> sp: well my drive is NTFS to begin with and I run win xp on here, I only recently found out that linux doesn't get along with NTFS
[18:00] <BabyDoll> sorry bazhang
[18:00] <BabyDoll> bazhang at the very end i see network controller: broadcom Corporation BMC94311MCG wlan
[18:01] <thatoldchestnut> sp: so the other OS (windows) has already been installed
[18:01] <merike_> Hello, what could cause CUPS to stop working? It simply states that the job is complete even though it doesn't print.
[18:01] <TKingdom> bazhang:  A friend of mine told me to run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade', I guess I'm not familiar with what that does exactly.  But compiz was working fine until I ran that and then restarted..
[18:01] <sp> thatoldchestnut: well, you cannot install (or should not) GNU/Linux on an NTFS partition, however, reading and writing should work fine
[18:01] <bazhang> BabyDoll: though I dont have that card--there are two options that both work for ubuntu and that card the broadcom fw cutter iirc
[18:01] <white_eagle> !flash
[18:01] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[18:01] <white_eagle> is the flash problem fixed for sure?
[18:02] <sp> thatoldchestnut: if you are trying to resize an NTFS partition make sure you defragmented that partition first
[18:02] <white_eagle> !flashissues
[18:02] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree »
[18:02] <bazhang> white_eagle: yesh!!!
[18:02] <neverblue> guys, having an issue with postfix-doc, when I do my morning updates, it seems to give me an error, I have tried to do aptitude remove, yet I get the error: ' Removing postfix-doc ...postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf for reading: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing postfix-doc (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1' what can I do resolve this ?
[18:02] <white_eagle> thank god!!
[18:02] <sunseeker888> HI guys need some advice. I am planning to buy a 500 GB external drive to back up my files on from windows. Can I partition, it, so that i can back up ubuntu documents
[18:02] <white_eagle> I was bored with gnash
[18:02] <BabyDoll> bazhang: when i try to enable the firmware it said something about that cutter lol
[18:02] <TKingdom> sunseeker888:  Try Gparted
[18:02] <BabyDoll> bazhang: where can i get it so i can install ubuntu on my lappy?
[18:03] <Zodiac`> a friend of mine can have both output and input in ALSA, and it works nice.. but Wine only shows output.. (means he cant talk in mic while using alsa, and OSS isnt an option when playing)
[18:03] <sunseeker888> Thanks Tkingdom, can ubuntu see my files mp3 on usb, do i need to use same?
[18:03] <sunseeker888> samba
[18:03] <Ketsuban> Does anyone have any experience with kasumi (dictionary for use with SCIM and Anthy) not adding words to the dictionary when converting to kanji?
[18:04] <whoaitsphil> sweet, got ubuntu installed and windows xp is still working fine...thanks everyone
[18:04] <danbhfive> TKingdom: lsb_release -a                 what's that say?
[18:04] <psycholvlan> are ubuntu's d/l servers down
[18:05] <white_eagle> psycholvlan, why that?
[18:05] <rfu> :o
[18:05] <bazhang> BabyDoll: that would be in the restricted drivers--piece of cake really
[18:05] <genii> psycholvlan: Nope, I just did an apt-get update to see
[18:05] <psycholvlan> trying to get some programs and can't connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com
[18:05] <thatoldchestnut> sp: yep, so last night I downloaded a stand-alone version of gparted and booted off that, and was able to set it so that the half of my HDD with windows was NTFS, and the half I intended to install ubuntu on was EXT3. it got me a little further than before, but crashed once again
[18:05] <bobbob1016> My notification area seems broken, I can't bring up any menu's on it.  For example, I can't click the "update" icon on it.  Any ideas on a fix?
[18:05] <BabyDoll> bazhang: i tried to enable it and it wouldnt let me
[18:06] <TKingdom> danbhfive: sorry, couldn't tell ya
[18:06] <sp> thatoldchestnut: when exactly does the installer crash? you shouldn't touch the NTFS partition at all from within the installer
[18:06] <bazhang> BabyDoll: this is in the livecd?
[18:06] <genii> psycholvlan: Though I am using canadian repo not US
[18:06] <BabyDoll> yes bazhang
[18:06] <BabyDoll> want me to install first?
[18:06] <white_eagle> my friend has problems with his usb flash drive 4 gigs, it doesn't get recognized on ubuntu
[18:06] <psycholvlan> that could be the case
[18:06] <white_eagle> it is an JetFlashV30
[18:07] <danbhfive> TKingdom: why not?  whast the codename?
[18:07] <psycholvlan> just did the sudo apt-get update and it went through all the servers but stopped at the us.archive.ubuntu.com
[18:07] <white_eagle> he just hops it in and it doesn't get recognized
[18:07] <bazhang> Ketsuban: not sure about that though I do use kanji scim
[18:07] <TKingdom> danbhfive: Any particular reason you want to know?
[18:07] <ibou> I tryed to install compiz. i lost my windows borders although i installed emerald and executed emerald --replace. Here is the console message after a compiz --replace : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55110/
[18:07] <white_eagle> it is ofcourse recognisable in windows
[18:07] <sp> white_eagle: that sounds weird... USB flash drives usually work in a very specific way that is the same for all flash drives, so you should not be experiencing this problem
[18:07] <danbhfive> TKingdom: because of your earlier question
[18:07] <Itaku> i need help getting my sound working
[18:08] <white_eagle> it is my friend sp
[18:08] <danbhfive> TKingdom: if you don't need help still, then nvm
[18:08] <sp> white_eagle: any chance it does have some sort of encryption support or anything else "non-standard"?
[18:08] <TKingdom> Haha sorry, it's early.
[18:08] <neverblue> Itaku, did you try 'alsamixer', its a terminal command ?
[18:08] <thatoldchestnut> sp: it crashed after I'd manually selected in the installer which 'half' (the EXT3 half) I wanted ubuntu to go on. I pressed forward to start it, and it froze after about five or ten seconds
[18:08] <Ketsuban> bazhang: do you have any words in the Kasumi dictionary?
[18:08] <sp> white_eagle: also, what does the output of "lsusb -v" tell you about that drive?
[18:08] <TKingdom> lsb_release -a
[18:08] <bazhang> BabyDoll: well the main thing is that your card is fairly well supported under ubuntu--the fact that there are drivers and it is recognized are big steps--getting it work will require a little work though
[18:08] <TKingdom> oops..
[18:08] <Itaku> no
[18:08] <TKingdom> danbhfive:
[18:08] <sp> thatoldchestnut: okay, you might want to download the alternative install CD
[18:09] <bazhang> Ketsuban: is that from the repos? the kasumi dictionary?
[18:09] <Cpudan80> Hey
[18:09] <TKingdom> No LSB modules are available.
[18:09] <Cpudan80> Is there something wrong with Flash?
[18:09] <TKingdom> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[18:09] <TKingdom> Description:    Ubuntu 7.10
[18:09] <TKingdom> Release:        7.10
[18:09] <TKingdom> Codename:       gutsy
[18:09] <Cpudan80> My system did an update this morning, and now flash is broken
[18:09] <FloodBot1> TKingdom: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:09] <bazhang> Cpudan80: no more!
[18:09] <Cpudan80> Or well, it is broken in Firefox
[18:09] <Pici> !flashissues > Cpudan80 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[18:09] <neverblue> Itaku, check with that, make sure the volume is turned up/un-mute
[18:09] <Itaku> i dont know what my sound cord is though
[18:09] <Cpudan80> bazhang: Hrm -- but it wont work in Firefox...
[18:09] <BabyDoll> hey bazhang: im installing now
[18:09] <Ketsuban> bazhang: yes.
[18:09] <danbhfive> TKingdom: ok ok, well, it looks like you are still running gutsy
[18:09] <psycholvlan> it there a way to connect to other servers... like canada's?
[18:09] <neverblue> !who | Itaku
[18:09] <ubotu> Itaku: 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 :)
[18:10] <bazhang> Cpudan80: right same here---though now the issue is well on its way to your mirror--I mean the fix not the issue haha
[18:10] <Itaku> .
[18:10] <merike_> someone willing to help with CUPS?
[18:10] <Itaku> it was at you...
[18:10] <Pici> me?
[18:10] <bazhang> Ketsuban: just a moment let me install it
[18:10] <genii> psycholvlan: just chang us.archive.ubuntu.com in the sources.list to ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[18:10] <danbhfive> TKingdom: Here is a command to check your installation, that you can try,  it shouldn't hurt anything, unless you are really custom with your install
[18:10] <thatoldchestnut> sp: rightio, cool. that's not the LTS one, is it? or the one for serves?
[18:10] <Itaku> neverblue i dont know what my sound cord is though
[18:10] <PanzerMKZ_> psycholvlan what you mean connect to other servers?
[18:10] <psycholvlan> where i find the sources list
[18:10] <danbhfive> TKingdom: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^
[18:10] <neverblue> Itaku, use alsamixer
[18:10] <psycholvlan> i'm new to linux
[18:10] <Itaku> i did
[18:11] <thatoldchestnut> sorry, typo. sp: rightio, cool. that's not the LTS one, is it? or the one for servers?*
[18:11] <Itaku> neverblue i dont know which one my speakers are
[18:11] <psycholvlan> i mean connect to other servers... my us.archive.ubuntu.com is down for me
[18:11] <sp> thatoldchestnut: there should be an alternate install CD for the LTS version too iirc
[18:11] <neverblue> Itaku, try each of them then
[18:11] <sp> thatoldchestnut: but no, that is not the server version
[18:11] <TKingdom> danbhfive: Don't I already have that/
[18:11] <Pici> psycholvlan: System>Administration>Software Sources, pick a different mirror
[18:11] <psycholvlan> ok thanks
[18:11] <genii> psycholvlan: You need to edit the file with admin privelege.So:  alt-f2   then:  gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:11] <Cpudan80> Pici bazhang -- Fix from ubotu works great, thanks
[18:11] <neverblue> Itaku, does your hardware work, the sound card, the speakers, headphones, etc ?
[18:11] <danbhfive> TKingdom: the ^ changes it, make sure to include the ^
[18:12] <genii> psycholvlan: Or use Pici's suggestion :)
[18:12] <TKingdom> Okay, its going
[18:12] <Itaku> neverblue it does
[18:12] <neverblue> Itaku, then change settings in alsamixer should fix your issues
[18:12] <cellofellow> I got a new version of flash in update-manager. Is this one safe?
[18:12] <bazhang> Cpudan80: yes! no problem ;]
[18:12] <D0pamine> does anyone know if there is an alsaconf in a package somewhere
[18:12] <Itaku> again
[18:12] <Itaku> neverblue i dont know which one my speakers are
[18:12] <D0pamine> i got a soundcard that needs re-configuring
[18:13] <Itaku> i tried al of them
[18:13] <bazhang> Ketsuban: it works here--what exactly is the error you get?
[18:13] <Ketsuban> bazhang: no error, just that I don't get more than one entry in the dictionary added to the list when entering something.
[18:13] <Itaku> neverblu do i need to be in reltek or NVidia?
[18:13] <neverblue> Itaku, as I said before, try all the settings
[18:13] <TKingdom> danbhfive:  Now I know why you mentioned custom install.  It's reinstalling stuff like Evolution, Totem and Rhythmbox
[18:13] <marx2k_> D0pamine: try alsa-utils
[18:14] <TKingdom> What now?
[18:14] <Ketsuban> bazhang: add 勝木 = まさき and 富増 = とます to the dictionary, then try and type them.
[18:14] <marx2k_> !alsa-utils
[18:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alsa-utils - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:14] <TKingdom> Restart?
[18:14] <marx2k_> alsa-utils                                      - ALSA utilities
[18:14] <pteague> is the flash plugin really fixed?
[18:14] <glguy> I gave a friend running Ubuntu some fonts to add to his ~/.fonts, but his computer doesn't see the bitmapped fonts after restart (it does see the ttf ones). He has to manually type xset +fp ~/.fonts
[18:14] <Itaku> how do i change that setting?
[18:14] <neverblue> Itaku, lspci will tell you which audio card you have (* do NOT paste the output from that command in the channel*)
[18:14]  * cellofellow has same question as pteauge
[18:14] <danbhfive> TKingdom: That command goes through and double checks that everything from ubuntu-desktop is actually installed
[18:14] <glguy> What do you set so  that yo udon't have to manually add those fonts to the path every time??
[18:14] <D0pamine> thanks marx2k_
[18:14] <thatoldchestnut> sp: is the alternate version of ubuntu essentially the same as the normal one? I can't quite seem to see a link anywhere to download it
[18:14] <maximilion> Hmm, vlc worked perfectly for a while, now won't play a single movie file! (perfect audio, pink garbage instead of video)
[18:14] <Itaku> im not using irssi so i cant see the bold in the **'s lol
[18:15] <TKingdom> danbhfive:  Okay
[18:15] <tuxfusion> hello people, i use GNOME and want to completely disable the standard minimize effect. I tried to set /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources to TRUE with gconf-editor like i read , but i didnt help any idea ? thx !
[18:15] <danbhfive> TKingdom: I figured that it might help ya, that if you had the full install, maybe it will fix something
[18:15] <neverblue> Itaku, lspci will tell you which audio card you have ( do NOT paste the output from that command in the channel )
[18:15] <neverblue> !who | Itaku
[18:15] <ubotu> Itaku: 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 :)
[18:15] <TKingdom> Yeah, its a good idea
[18:16] <TKingdom> let me restart
[18:16] <maximilion> tuxfusion: Prefs-Appearance-Visual Effects tab?
[18:16] <Itaku> you already told me that...
[18:16] <Ro1> Can someone please give me the full command to remove an application from wine?
[18:16] <tuxfusion> maximilion, ill check ......
[18:16] <BabyDoll> must be a big file its stuck on 27% lol
[18:16] <D0pamine> i have another question but bear with me its an odd one , i've got a compiz screensaver plugin that i need to run 24/7 however the monitor blanks after 15 mins , i've set to "never" in gnome power management and commented out "DPMS" in xorg.conf however it still blanks after 15 mins
[18:16] <neverblue> Itaku, good luck
[18:16] <D0pamine> anyone any ideas
[18:16] <neverblue> guys, having an issue with postfix-doc, when I do my morning updates, it seems to give me an error, I have tried to do aptitude remove, yet I get the error: ' Removing postfix-doc ...postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf for reading: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing postfix-doc (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1' what can I do resolve this ?
[18:17] <D0pamine> the plugin itself perhaps ?
[18:17] <cellofellow> tuxfusion: if you are indeed using metacity, I cannot help, but if it Compiz I know what to do. You need to install compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:17] <Ro1> Can someone please give me the full command to remove an application from wine?
[18:17] <Zodiac`> a friend of mine can have both output and input in ALSA, and it works nice.. but Wine only shows output.. (means he cant talk in mic while using alsa, and OSS isnt an option when playing)
[18:17] <Itaku> neverblue: http://pastebin.com/m7c03b240
[18:17] <cellofellow> tuxfusion: and then you will find under the Animation stuff the ability to turn off the minimize effect.
[18:17] <Ro1> Can someone please give me the full command to remove an application from wine?
[18:17] <maximilion> !tab
[18:17] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[18:19] <tuxfusion> cellofellow,maximilion me on GNOME-default , not ubuntu  =) , with obenbox, but i think the animation ist from openbox , there is no visual effects tab/option in Prefs-Appearance-Visual Effects  ; (
[18:19] <Ketsuban> bazhang: eh?
[18:19] <BabyDoll> bazhang: i got an errno5 input/ouput error so it failed to install any help?
[18:19] <dax_roc> Any one know how to prevent a forked app from logging in the executing shell
[18:19] <cellofellow> tuxfusion: oh, openbox
[18:20] <Ro1> Can someone please give me the full command to remove an application from wine?
[18:20] <tuxfusion> *i think anaimation "is NOT " from opembox
[18:20] <cellofellow> tuxfusion: you'll want to go and configure openbox then
[18:20] <tuxfusion> but some GTK ...
[18:20] <bazhang> Ro1: ask in #winehq
[18:20] <kakarot0> hi i need help i have troubles downloading a page with Firefox that i have already seen hundreds of times and i dont know what happend
[18:20] <pteague> cellofellow> looks like it's fixed
[18:20] <dax_roc> * forked to background
[18:21] <bazhang> BabyDoll: what part of the install process were you on?
[18:21] <tuxfusion> i ll have to make 100 % itz not opnebox then ill , thx anyway !
[18:21] <Noq^> hi! i would like to know if its posible to have icon size 16x16 icons in panel no mather what size of the panel you have.... And also is it posible to have customable startbutton for the main menu but so i can have it in size 30x30.. right now it can be resized to that size.. i must have fixed sizes like 24x24 or 32x32.. is this posible to change somewhere?
[18:21] <cellofellow> pteague: I just upgraded and it broke. :(
[18:21] <pteague> doh
[18:21] <BabyDoll> bazhang: copying files 27% done
[18:21] <maximilion> tuxfusion: Aha. Well, this is the Ubuntu channel, so I assumed you meant Gnome in Ubuntu :)
[18:21] <bazhang> cellofellow: it broke for me earlier today as well--the mirrors have the new fix now though!
[18:22] <cellofellow> bazhang: but, I just installed the newest version. :/
[18:22] <bazhang> cellofellow: or will shortly ;]
[18:22] <thatoldchestnut> does anyone know whether the alternate version of ubuntu for the desktop PC follows the same procedure when installing as the normal one, and is it unable to do anything the normal one can?
[18:22] <cellofellow> bazhang: should I meander over to archive.ubuntu.com instead of using the easynews mirror for now?
[18:22] <bazhang> cellofellow: I did as well--the broken and fixed versions two hours apart haha
[18:22] <pteague> cellofellow> last time i ended up just downloading the file & running the installer... i think the problem is adobe keeps changing the file breaking the md5sum
[18:23] <tuxfusion> maximilion, yes strange there is no GNOME channel nor a openbox channel , fluxbox guy are freaks the yscred me away , and cause i think itz some basic GNOME/GTK thing ( i t looks like th standard meatacitya ani) i thougt id finally find a solution =)
[18:23] <DRebellion> thatoldchestnut: the alternate installer uses a text only install method (no install gui). However, the installed distrubution is just as capable as the normal livecd installed.
[18:23] <neverblue> guys, having an issue with postfix-doc, when I do my morning updates, it seems to give me an error, I have tried to do aptitude remove, yet I get the error: ' Removing postfix-doc ...postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf for reading: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing postfix-doc (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1' what can I do resolve this ?
[18:23] <slavik> my system is connected to two networks (and does not need to route traffice from one to the other or vice versa), the problem is that I can only connect to the network which is set as the internet interface in firestarter configuration
[18:24] <kakarot0> need a fix on Mozila Firefox
[18:24] <Al-Khouli> hi guys, is there a reliable pdf writer for Ubuntu ?!
[18:24] <bazhang> BabyDoll: so you went through the entire process and then it hung on the installing files at 27%? what did you do then?
[18:24] <TKingdom> Does anyone know a command to output your drivers version?
[18:24] <TKingdom> video card drivers*
[18:25] <MrBL> hi buddies
[18:25] <dan__> IS THERE A WAY TO PLAY MUSIC FILES THAT ARE ON A WINDOWS COMPUTER ON THIS NETWORK?
[18:25] <orochi_> Hello :> Is there any possible way I might be able to config ALSA to force all sound output to be 48000Hz on playback
[18:25] <DRebellion> !caps | dan__
[18:25] <ubotu> dan__: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[18:25] <bazhang> caps dan__
[18:25] <thatoldchestnut> drebellion: thanks. are instructions provided within the installer for the alternate version for how to install it correctly? I suppose what I'm saying is, will an idiot like me have any trouble? haha
[18:25] <dan__> (oops, sorry)
[18:25] <BabyDoll> bazhang: any help
[18:25] <DRebellion> thatoldchestnut: its not hard, you just won't be used to it. if you concentrate and take your time, you'll be fine.
[18:26] <MrBL> anyone had problems with the last kernel update on Gutsy and suspend/hibernate?
[18:26] <TKingdom> thatoldchestnut:  I used the alternate version it has the proper options for you to easily get through the installation.
[18:26] <DRebellion> dan__: yes. set up the folder as 'shared' (on windows) and mount the share on linux.
[18:26] <thatoldchestnut> cool, thanks. I shall give it a go
[18:26] <thatoldchestnut> thanks all for your help
[18:26] <bazhang> BabyDoll: what did you do after it hung at 27%?
[18:27] <BabyDoll> it gave me an error then stopped
[18:27] <stephans> does anyone know why sound in (microphone) would wver stop working?
[18:27] <bobbob1016> My notification area seems broken, I can't bring up any menu's on it.  For example, I can't click the "update" icon on it.  Any ideas on a fix?
[18:27] <orochi_> stephans: I have no idea, but I have an intel hda based chipset and in 7.10 the volume on the microphone goes down on every boot
[18:28] <MrBL> my perfect laptop installation doesn't suspend after closing screen since I"m
[18:28] <orochi_> To get it to work I have to switch the microphone source from line in, then back to microphone :>
[18:28] <bazhang> BabyDoll: is this adsl?
[18:28] <MrBL> (I'm using 2.6.22-14-generic)
[18:28] <BabyDoll> ya bell is dsl
[18:28] <Pici> bobbob1016: Have you tried removing and re-adding the notification area?
[18:28] <gtt> i'm getting a new hard drive today, and it out-spec's the hard drive currently holding my OS. Assuming it would be a performance improvement to move the OS to the new drive, what is the best way to copy the entire OS entact to the new drive with the minimum amount of time and labor?
[18:29] <bobbob1016> Pici: Yeah, a few times
[18:29] <bazhang> BabyDoll: well you can try again with the livecd, or try the alternate cd if that chokes again
[18:29] <Pici> bobbob1016: Does anything else on the notification area work?
[18:29] <gtt> MrBL: I just solved that problem (2 hours ago) by using Envy to upgrade my ndivida drivers.
[18:29] <sidelil> Excuse me, I have a dual boot machine, ubuntu + vista. Is it possible to run the installed vista in a virtual machine under ubuntu? Thank you.
[18:29] <maximilion> Is there a Mac Panther type theme?
[18:30] <BabyDoll> bazhang: the alt cd? what u mean lol
[18:30] <x1sc0> how can I install pygtk in ubuntu ?
[18:30] <Pici> !themes > maximilion (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[18:30] <gtt> MrBL: see bug 180907 at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/180907
[18:30] <bobbob1016> Pici: No, programs in the notification area don't, my battery percentage isn't shown, and network-manager doesn't list wifi available.  I can change the volume, and see the calendar though.
[18:30] <danbhfive> gtt: maybe you could do a fresh install, then copy over /home, and take a look at /msg ubotu !clone
[18:30] <MrBL> gtt: didn't think that NVidia would screw up. I'll give it a try right now, thx!
[18:30] <bobbob1016> Pici: The shutdown button works too.
[18:30] <maximilion> Pici: Lovely, thanks! :)
[18:31] <bazhang> BabyDoll: first lets try the livecd once more then we can discuss other options ;]
[18:31] <Deeppact> Hello everyone
[18:31] <BabyDoll> bazhang: im already trying it lol
[18:31] <JoshJ> wow this is ridiculous, i'm having some weird issue trying to install on a comp with an ATI radeon HD 2400
[18:31] <gtt> danbhfive: i forgot to mention, reinstalling the OS was my least favorite option (my /home is on a separate partition, so it's not that bad of an ordeal) because i just did it a week ago.
[18:31] <BabyDoll> its scanning files
[18:31] <JoshJ> basically it defaulted to 1024x768 resolution, i tried to change it to 1440 x 900 but it's glitching out and now i can't even get into X :/
[18:31] <gtt> it might be the quickest option for me though.
[18:32] <bazhang> BabyDoll: new to linux?
[18:32] <JoshJ> is there a way to reset my desktop settings?
[18:32] <zlaja> uhm im new on my linux
[18:32] <bobbob1016> Pici: The battery icon changes as I unplug/plug in the power cord, and the Update Manager tells me if I have to reboot, after installing updates via synaptic.
[18:32] <BabyDoll> bazhang: just ubuntu lol im use to gentoo and freebsd lol
[18:33] <zlaja> dont know how to use it :S
[18:33] <TKingdom> JoshJ:  Try Envy http://albertomilone.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage
[18:33] <zlaja> im using ubuntu
[18:33] <BabyDoll> ya its hangin up again at 27
[18:33] <Pici> bobbob1016: My n-m doesnt give me signal either.
[18:33] <JoshJ> tkingdom: i'm in irssi on tty1...
[18:33] <TKingdom> Oh
[18:33] <JoshJ> TKingdom: i can't get X to start at all right now, it keeps blinking and throwing me back to a tty
[18:33] <Pici> !envy | JoshJ TKingdom
[18:33] <ubotu> JoshJ TKingdom: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[18:33] <dan__> i am able to navigate to music files in file browser, but i am having trouble reading those files from the music playre itself
[18:34] <JoshJ> it WAS working a minute ago until i tried to  change resolution
[18:34] <bobbob1016> JoshJ: Did you install the ATI driver?  I think you need it for ATI X1xxx and up.  How did you change your resolution, via gui or terminal?
[18:34] <JoshJ> i just need to know how to reset the resolution via command line
[18:34] <dan__> do i need ot have an entry in fstab for the smb share?
[18:34] <JoshJ> via gui
[18:34] <bazhang> BabyDoll: then it might be an issue with the cd itself--either the iso is corrupted, the media is faulty. or the burn speed was too fast
[18:34] <BabyDoll> bazhang: it stopped again lol
[18:34] <tuxfusion> cellofellow,maximilion it was an OpenBox animation , disabled it with obconfig , thx guys !
[18:34] <BabyDoll> i burned it probally too fast lol
[18:34] <JoshJ> system-administration-graphics and screen or something
[18:34] <bobbob1016> Pici: What do you mean?  If I click n-m, it used to show me available wifi, it won't anymore, that is what is happening with everything there.
[18:34] <Dimitree> Why when i completely remove a package from Synaptic and then try to install a newer version of the same app, it says that an older version is detected in a channel ??? how to completely remove apps ?
[18:35] <bazhang> BabyDoll: you should first check the md5 sum to be sure the iso is not corrupted, also try burning at a very slow speed
[18:35] <pepperjack> JoshJ: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  scroll to near the bottom usually its the depth 24 settings it will try them from greatest to least
[18:35] <JoshJ> i tried to change it to the widescreen plug and play one
[18:35] <JoshJ> k thanks
[18:35] <Pici> bobbob1016: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[18:35] <gtt> JoshJ: which monitor is it?
[18:35] <JoshJ> though i guess it'll be nano instead :P
[18:35] <JoshJ> gtt: some dell monitor
[18:36] <JoshJ> i have like 20 modelines, could that be the problem?
[18:36] <Arelis> Hi all. I have a rar file here i'd like to extract, and it is passworded and i know the password, but every time at the end of the extraction it deletes the file and asks me the password again, after it copies the file all over again! Can anybody help me solve this?
[18:36] <gtt> the sheer number of modelines is unlikely a problem
[18:37] <bobbob1016> JoshJ: Open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and type "cd /etc/X11/" then type "ls" without the quotes, if you see "xorg.conf" with a date or backup or something behind it, it should mean you have a backup, if you just copy the backup over the current one, it should bring you back to what it was at.
[18:37] <JoshJ> ah, Dell SE198WF is what xorg.conf has
[18:37] <bobbob1016> Pici: Gutsy
[18:37] <JoshJ> bobbob1016: k, lemme check for a backup
[18:37] <maximilion> !flash
[18:37] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[18:37] <JoshJ> yeah
[18:37] <gtt> I've also had ok luck with renaming it, and letting xorg generate a new one.. if you're on gutsy or higher it should work
[18:37] <maximilion> !gnash
[18:37] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[18:38] <gtt> and since xorg's able to identify your monitor, that's a good shot too.
[18:38] <bullgard4> "detlef@MD97600:~$ LANG=C apropos recurse; recurse: nothing appropriate." Where can one find a manpage for this Samba command?
[18:38] <JoshJ> gtt: fair enough, but the default install it didn't get widescreen :/
[18:38] <white_eagle> hey what was that command for the usb again?
[18:38] <bobbob1016> JoshJ: You should still use envy as suggested above.  If that doesn't work, do "cd /etc/X11/" then "mv xorg.conf xorg.conf-broken" then "mv xorg.conf(most recent backup) xorg.conf"
[18:39] <white_eagle> please repeat it
[18:39] <white_eagle> whoever said it to me
[18:39] <smultron> has anyone gotten Pidgin to connect to iChat Server running on Mac OS X Server?
[18:39] <JoshJ> bobbob1016: hang on, i'm going to restart, give me the envy thing when i get back ok?
[18:39] <bobbob1016> JoshJ: You might need to do "sudo" before the last two commands, not sure.
[18:39] <bobbob1016> JoshJ I won't be here
[18:39] <JoshJ> since i just tried to reset the X stuff
[18:39] <bazhang> smultron: probably the wrong channel for that
[18:39] <Arelis> Hi all. I have a rar file here i'd like to extract, and it is passworded and i know the password, but every time at the end of the extraction it deletes the file and asks me the password again, after it copies the file all over again! Can anybody help me solve this?
[18:39] <JoshJ> yeah, i did the xorg.conf stuff in tty2 already
[18:39] <JoshJ> brb
[18:40] <smultron> bazhang: already tried #pidgin
[18:40] <bobbob1016> JoshJ: I have to leave soon, class is over soon, others can help though
[18:40] <Al-Khouli> Anyone knows a good pdf writer ?
[18:40] <bazhang> smultron: I was thinking ##apple
[18:40] <white_eagle> my friend has problems with his usb flash drive 4 gigs, it doesn't get recognized on ubuntu
[18:40] <gtt> JoshJ: probably true...I experienced something similar on my va1912wb, after you enable the restricted driver (or use envy) your proper display mode should return
[18:40] <gtt> dangit
[18:40] <white_eagle> please repeat that command
[18:40] <white_eagle> someone told it to me, and I haven't wrote it somewhere
[18:40] <Arelis> Hi all. I have a rar file here i'd like to extract, and it is passworded and i know the password, but every time at the end of the extraction it deletes the file and asks me the password again, after it copies the file all over again! Can anybody help me solve this?
[18:40] <Arelis> sorry
[18:40] <Arelis> i accidentaliy pressed the enter key again
[18:41] <Arelis> meant to press Shift
[18:41] <vicky_> hello
[18:41] <white_eagle> Arelis, laptop, huh ;)
[18:41] <white_eagle> ?
[18:42] <NoOneImportant> is ubuntu-minimal a meta package?
[18:42] <JoshJ> right, it's working now in that i have a nonwidescreen GUI now
[18:42] <vicky_> can some tell me how to delete a installation of ubuntu
[18:42] <bobbob1016> JoshJ: Someone will show you how to get envy, I have to go now.
[18:42] <LjL> vicky_: just overwrite it with something else.
[18:42] <JoshJ> system-administration-screens and graphics; now what do i set this monitor as?
[18:42] <JoshJ> or do i actually *need* envy to get widescreen?
[18:42] <vicky_> i try that
[18:43] <Pici> JoshJ: Envy isn't supported here, so I dont think anyone is going to be helping you get it.
[18:43] <vicky_> it did not work
[18:43] <gtt> you dont have to have envy for widescreen
[18:43] <LjL> !doesn't work | vicky_
[18:43] <ubotu> vicky_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[18:44] <cvdpr> ubuntu its the more easy distro for restricted format right>?
[18:44] <vicky_> i have install ubuntu several time on my laptop
[18:44] <ivan_> s there a channel for squireel mail?
[18:44] <white_eagle> someone told it to me, and I haven't wrote it somewhere
[18:44] <white_eagle> the command
[18:44] <cfedde> recent ubgrade to restricted adobe flash player breaks you-tube?
[18:44] <NoOneImportant> how do I get syntax highlighting working for vim?
[18:44] <white_eagle> for fixing the usb
[18:44] <vicky_> and i need to delete the one that i am not using
[18:44] <LjL> cfedde: *only* youtube, or youtube's the only thing you've tried?
[18:44] <gtt> instead, try the restrcted drivers
[18:45] <vicky_> when i boot up my system i am ask to select which one to load
[18:45] <cvdpr> ?
[18:45] <ivan_> hello folks-does anyone know of a channel for squirrel mail or ISP config?
[18:45] <sidelil> Excuse me, I have a dual boot machine, ubuntu + vista. Is it possible to run the installed vista in a virtual machine under ubuntu? Thank you.
[18:45] <white_eagle> ahhhh
[18:45] <cfedde> LjL: that's the one I tried.
[18:45] <white_eagle> sidelil, no
[18:45] <LjL> !flashissues | cfedde
[18:45] <ubotu> cfedde: The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree »
[18:45] <vicky_> i have install
[18:45] <cfedde> LjL: thanks!
[18:45] <maximilion> There really is no way of getting Flash working in Firefox on AMD64 except install Firefox 32bit?
[18:45] <sidelil> withe_eagle thanks
[18:45] <gtt> white_eagle: wrong... i've been able to do it.
[18:45] <vicky_> ubuntu 7.10, metest86*
[18:45] <LjL> vicky_, if you have two installations in two different partitions, and you want to get rid of one of them, and free the space, that won't be easy. you will certainly need to backup your data.
[18:46] <LjL> !gparted > vicky_    (vicky_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:46] <gtt> white_eagle,sidelil:  the trick is to convert the vista partition into a vmware virtual machine using the vmware convertor
[18:46] <vicky_> i know that for sure
[18:47] <vicky_> tell how i can format my hard drive and i just reload it
[18:47] <tobias_> Hey ubuntu people. I'm following this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox , but on "sudo module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-ose" I get the error message saying "Bad luck, your kernel headers were not found" or something like that. I try to follow the hints in that message, but without succes. What could I do?
[18:47] <gtt> it'll take time and hard drive space, but it worked very well for me.
[18:47] <LjL> vicky_: format the whole drive? the Ubuntu installer will give you that option.
[18:47] <bob__> hi, i'm looking for a C or C++ IDE
[18:47] <sidelil> gtt: ok. I use VirtualBox, but I can install vmware if needed. Can you suggest me a guide or something like this? Is it something difficult?
[18:48] <vicky_> i did that. that how come i end up like this
[18:48] <gtt> i used a separate FAT32 partition to store the created vmware image
[18:48] <vicky_> i try it once more
[18:48] <vicky_> hope it work
[18:48] <bob__> hi, i'm looking for a C or C++ IDE, anyone knows a good one with all the essential tools?
[18:48] <vicky_> i dont know what i was doing wrong
[18:49] <CSABA> im having trouble installing the gtk developer libraries, can somebody help me?
[18:49] <bazhang> sidelil: vmware-server is in the gutsy canonical partner repos and is very easy to install--once you have downloaded it you need to go to vmware.com and get the free key
[18:49] <maximilion> Anyone got Gnash working in Youtube etc on their AMD64 PC?
[18:49] <vicky_> anyway i try once more
[18:49] <CSABA> i need to install pango, but pango requires libpng
[18:49] <LjL> tobias_: try « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) »
[18:49] <gtt> sidelil: virtual box should work too, but if it doesnt have a convertor of its own (dont remember seeing one) you can use the vmware convertor... there's a guide on howtoforge for using the convertor.
[18:49] <CSABA> and libpng cannot be compiled because it has errors
[18:49] <CSABA> so what to do?
[18:49] <rinaldi_> hi why is it that with some fullscreen games I can still see the top and bottom menu bars?
[18:49] <tobias_> LjL, it says there is no installable candidate
[18:49] <bazhang> maximilion: not sure about gnash--but flash is working once again--should be in a mirror near you soon
[18:49] <vicky_> also can i set up a remote access VPN with ubuntu
[18:49] <bob__> hi, i'm looking for a C or C++ IDE, anyone knows a good one with all the essential tools?
[18:50] <maximilion> OK, worth waiting for then?
[18:50] <CSABA> bob: eclipse?
[18:50] <LjL> CSABA: why would you need to *compile* libpng?
[18:50] <sidelil> bazhang, gtt: thank you both!
[18:50] <bazhang> maximilion: yesh!
[18:50] <macogw> bob__: eclipse can do c and c++
[18:50] <bob__> isn't that a java?
[18:50] <bullgard4> "detlef@MD97600:~$ LANG=C apropos recurse; recurse: nothing appropriate." Where can one find a manpage for this Samba command?
[18:50] <CSABA> LjL: well pango says there is no libpng
[18:50] <bazhang> np
[18:50] <macogw> bob__: written in java but has plugins for tons others
[18:50] <LjL> tobias_: « apt-cache policy  linux-headers-$(uname -r) »
[18:50] <maximilion> bazhang: I installed restricted and gnash... easy to purge/remove?
[18:50] <CSABA> bob: it has a plugin for c/c++
[18:50] <CVD-PR> which is more friendly or easy to setup eclipse or netbeans?
[18:50] <LjL> CSABA: sudo apt-get install libpng3 libpng12-0?
[18:50] <maximilion> And why is Ubufox needed?
[18:51] <bob__> so i can just get it trough synaptic or apt-get?
[18:51] <CSABA> thanks ill try that
[18:51] <cellofellow> maximilion: just exta features
[18:51] <tobias> LjL: I think you mean tobias_
[18:51] <tobias_> LjL: Installed: none, Candidate: none, version table (empty)
[18:51] <maximilion> I thought Firefox plugins were platform independent :)
[18:51] <vicky_>  can i set up a remote access VPN with
[18:51] <cellofellow> maximilion: those are extensions
[18:51] <maximilion> ah.
[18:51] <vicky_> ubuntu
[18:51] <LjL> tobias_: err, foir the linux headers, yes, for libpng, no
[18:51] <cellofellow> maximilion: plugins are not, unfortunately.
[18:51] <tobias_> tobias, hey there name fellow :P
[18:51] <LjL> tobias_: the package name being?
[18:51] <Flatulento_joe> or
[18:51] <bazhang> maximilion: sooper sekrit partnership with ubuntu (sshhh!)
[18:51] <tobias> tobias_: yo :)
[18:51] <gtt> sidelil : unfortunately i know of know thorough guide...though you will probably be able to figure it out... free up a bunch of space and remove everything you can from the vista install. shrink your vista partition as small as you can. create a separate fat32 partition that's big enough to accomodate the vmware image, and then use the vmware convertor.
[18:51] <bob__> eclipse and its c plugin is available trough synapstic or apt-get?
[18:52] <tobias_> LjL, linux-headers-2.6.20-15-386
[18:52] <CSABA> bob: no download it from eclipse's site, search on google
[18:52] <LjL> tobias_: uh, what ubuntu version are you on
[18:52] <tobias_> LjL: feisty
[18:52] <bob__> so it's a tar.gz archive?
[18:53] <maximilion> So I won't need Ubufox when the proper Flash plugin comes?
[18:53] <CSABA> bob: yes but if you unpack it you can just double-click on the eclipse file and it will start
[18:53] <LjL> tobias_: why do you have the 386 kernel installed rather than the generic?
[18:53] <CSABA> and then download the c++ plugin and copy it into the eclipse directory
[18:53] <tobias_> LjL, no idea, I do choose generic in grub
[18:53] <gtt> have you considered Kdevelop instead?
[18:53] <gtt> of Eclipse?
[18:53] <LjL> tobias_: well but if uname -r says 386, it means it's 386 that is running. anyway, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please
[18:53] <bob__> oh ok
[18:54] <tobias_> LjL, right, on it
[18:54] <bob__> kdevelop? never heard of it
[18:54] <Catachan> sorry, i lost connection, let me ask again. . .
[18:54] <Catachan> Does any one know anything about changing the logo at the top left corner of the screen?
[18:54] <CSABA> if I want to print out an environment variable, i should just write echo $VARIABLE_NAME right?
[18:54] <d90_> hey guys all my devices attached to usbs are not working (external hd, scaner, printer, bluetooth, cardreader, camrea, same when I attach memory stick)
[18:54] <LjL> tobias_: you really should be running generic anyway (and *before* compiling those vbox modules)

[18:58] <LjL> tobias_: *and* you've used automatix...
[18:58] <tobias_> LjL, that so? Oo never noticed
[18:58] <jjgalvez> I've got a small home network behind a router so everyone has 192.... addresses. If I want to reference a machine (like the one connected to the printer) by its name rather then its ip address then do I have to install bind on one of the machines?

[19:03] <usr13> There's an application that does like an extended screen capture?  (Trying to remember the name of it...).  It's for teaching some one new processes, via emai.
[19:03] <LjL> tobias_: you will need to update to *Gutsy* now, not Feisty, since you most likely have pieces of Gutsy installed
[19:03] <d90_> all my devices attached to usb slots are not working (external hd, scaner, printer, bluetooth, cardreader, camrea, same when I attach memory stick), does anyone know why?

[19:05] <ivan_> squirrel mail experts here?
[19:06] <Nuclear> question: Is there a 3D Desktop version for Ubuntu 7.10?
[19:06] <maximilion> OK, I have Ubuntu running with nvidia (6800 generic) drivers. HW accel is there, and only a few bugs (exiting a 3D game makes the resolution 1024x768, Blender always starts fullscreen despite me starting it windowed, that kind of thing...)
[19:06] <taz> 6800 gt with 256mb
[19:06] <mkquist> bob__: check this post - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[19:06] <bazhang> yesh Nuclear
[19:06] <Tailsfan> Because I heard it was free and legal
[19:06] <nemilar> Nuclear: 7.10 comes with compiz-fusion installed
[19:06] <taz> i found it
[19:06] <bazhang> taz that is the nv driver or the nvidia driver
[19:06] <maximilion> Should I bother to install drivers from nvidia.com, or am I asking for trouble? :)
[19:07] <tobias_> LjL, okay, im back now starting it
[19:07] <Nuclear> nemilar: how do I enable it? I can start the configuration and set the options, but it just doesn't 'load'
[19:07] <taz> with ctrl and alt  then click arrow it show
[19:07] <LjL> maximilion: the latter
[19:07] <taz> it work now
[19:07] <d90_> nemilar, need to wait for a 2 months for 8.04, 7.10 became pretty unusable, i cant to use my usb slots, they are not working... cant run compiz...

[19:14] <LjL> tobias_: ok, you're on Gutsy, and you've probably been on Gutsy for a long time - just on the wrong kernel

[19:14] <LjL> tobias_: now what you do is reboot, and select "linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic" in GRUB... but first check that it's there in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:15] <maximilion> KiD_ChAoS: Opera is lovely <3
[19:15] <Le-Chuck_IT1> jjgalvez: yes, or you'll have to use a DNS :)

[19:15] <LjL> tobias_: you could pastebin that one to me while you're at it
[19:15] <Le-Chuck_IT1> jjgalvez: maybe there's some windows-related stuff, since samba can find hosts on the web
[19:15] <Le-Chuck_IT1> but I am unsure
[19:15] <JoshJ> hah! they made ubuntu even MORE os x-like with gutsy

[19:17] <jjgalvez> Le-ChuckIT1, I guess thats what I'm really wondering about is it worth it to set up a DNS vs just editing everyoness host file, right now2 I've got 2 ubuntu computers (soon to be three) and two wondows boxes so its not really all the bad
[19:17] <igors> JoshJ, like the IDEs, to "hide" a peace of source...(my english is not very good)
[19:17] <JoshJ> igors: it doesn't look like it at first
[19:17] <JoshJ> lemme check something
[19:17] <LjL> tobias_: change "default 4" into "default 3" first, then reboot
[19:17] <igors> thanks

[19:17] <hyde> Hello men!

[19:17] <bazhang> there are plugins for gedit igors not sure what they do though
[19:17] <LucidDr34m3r> I'm having a problem with my laptop battery and was wondering if anyone could help. I'm running gutsy and it worked fine to begin with, but at some point my laptop stopped detecting my battery entirely. If I type "sudo acpi -V" it doesn't even list my battery, and it won't charge or anything. I'm using an up to date version of Gutsy running on an HP nw8000. Any help would be appreciated.
[19:17] <LjL> tobias_: into default 2
[19:17] <Le-Chuck_IT1> this is all I can say
[19:17] <JoshJ> lemme see if gedit-plugins has one
[19:18] <tobias_> LjL, okay, done rebooting
[19:18] <Sam330> Anyone know of a DAQ for booting 7.10 from an extrernal device (ie. MicroSD card)
[19:18] <Dante> Hi again. Seems like I got the drivers to work for my ATI card. Tuxracer is running. But I still cant take any other visual other that none? Do I have Compriz in Ubuntu 7.04?
[19:18] <Sam330> *FAQ
[19:18] <Dante> Oh its 7.10
[19:18] <LjL> tobias_: if it doesn't boot with the new default kernel, select the one you were using again
[19:18] <JoshJ> igors: do sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins
[19:18] <hyde> Im has Ubuntu 7.10
[19:18] <igors> bazhang, yeah..i have some...but i'd like one like this you know...to "collapse" a class, or function...
[19:18] <tobias_> LjL, okay, on it
[19:18] <JoshJ> igors: i'm not sure if "join/split lines" does what you're looking for or something else, it's badly phrased
[19:18] <hyde> Ma tu ktoś UBUNTU 7 10????
[19:18] <LucidDr34m3r> Also, if i remove my battery and put it back in while running, there are short intervals of time where it stops taking input from my mouse and keyboard. It just freezes temporarily.

[19:23] <Slart> taz: normal? thunderbird? evolution?
[19:23] <theacolyte> LiraNuna: interesting, although the 780 chipset is a little different -- I went to install ubuntu last night x64 7.10 on my new build and the disk boots into a blank screen
[19:23] <Dante> I think so
[19:23] <taz> firefox
[19:23] <LjL> Tobias92: now try again installing the headers, « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) », then go on with the vbox setup. you can remove the old kernels, if the new one works - « dpkg -l | grep linux-image », and remove everything except for 2.6.22-14-generic
[19:23] <usr13> taz: Are you using web based mail server?
[19:23] <LiraNuna> theacolyte, let me guess, 8800GT?
[19:23] <Dante> I just write install 'compizconfig-settings-manager?
[19:23] <taz> what do u mean?
[19:23] <theacolyte> LiraNuna: heh, yeah, in SLI
[19:23] <usr13> taz: Using your web browser to access mail?
[19:23] <Slart> taz: firefox is a browser.. are you using webmail of some kind? hotmail?
[19:23] <maximilion> I can manage without all effects -it's stylish with smaller icons that I'm after. Main thing is I don't install a bunch of graphical "tasks" that might mess up my not-perfect nvidia driver :)
[19:23] <Tobias92> LjL, thanks :)
[19:23] <theacolyte> LiraNuna: to be honest I didn't have any time to troubleshoot at all, any ideas?
[19:23] <maximilion> Hm, that was directed to bazhang.
[19:23] <LiraNuna> theacolyte, use the laternate CD - 8800GT is too new
[19:23] <taz> att/sbc
[19:24] <usr13> taz: What email software on your PC?
[19:24] <LiraNuna> theacolyte, or use alt-F1 during splash to run in VESA
[19:24] <bazhang> dante prefaced with sudo apt-get install of course--and add compiz-gnome and emerald if you wish
[19:24] <taz> pop
[19:24] <theacolyte> LiraNuna: nice, thanks a bunch... so I install it via the alternate, Im assuming it uses some sort of VESA Mode and then I install NVIDIA's drivers?
[19:24] <usr13> taz: Are you using Thunderbird?
[19:24] <LiraNuna> theacolyte, I got 8800GT running in SLI too, the drivers are too old to recognize 8800GT

[19:25] <LiraNuna> theacolyte, VESA is a VGA driver - noo HW accel
[19:25] <michalski> i have gnome right now as the desktop environment, if i install KDE (kde-desktop) will i be able to remove it if i dont like it? and how would i?
[19:25] <Dante> Bazhang: I have both of those already I see. But when I try to take something other than None it says "Composite extension is not available"
[19:25] <theacolyte> LiraNuna: so the process is install alternate w/ VESA, install official NVIDIA drivers?
[19:25] <usr13> taz:  Very good.  Now if someone here has experience with evolution, they should be able to help you.
[19:25] <bazhang> maximilion: there are tons at gnome look dot org (com?)
[19:25] <JoshJ> michalski: you could? just sudo apt-get remove kde-desktop
[19:25] <usr13> taz: What is your language?
[19:25] <debasys> i am trying to configure a wireless data card...at the end after editing wvdial.conf and making sudo wvdial it says 'modem is busy'
[19:25] <bazhang> dante then it is the driver that needs to be 3d
[19:25] <JoshJ> michalski: you can choose which one you want on boot anyway
[19:25] <taz> american
[19:25] <LiraNuna> theacolyte, or use the normal liveCD and press Alt+F1 during splash to switch to VESA
[19:25] <LucidDr34m3r> Anybody able to give me a hand? My laptop battery isn't getting recognized by Gutsy anymore...
[19:25] <taz> usa
[19:25] <michalski> joshj: realy how would i chose on boot?
[19:26] <theacolyte> LiraNuna: ah didn't know you could do that iwth the normal CD
[19:26] <maximilion> bazhang: That's exactly my problem... it great! But I'm pretty new to this and I'd like to go on recommendations by seasoned veterans ;)
[19:26] <JoshJ> in the options thing on the login window
[19:26] <maximilion> I have absolutely no idea which theme requires a lot of other modules etc
[19:26] <Dante> bazhang: I used the resricted driver manager to install my ATI Xpress 200M card.
[19:26] <usr13> taz: You should see options for text-only or somethingl like that... change that option.
[19:26] <michalski> joshj: ahhhh ok thanks, so if i ever want to remove it i just remove the kde-desktop package?

[19:26] <Pici> !flashissues > YouKnowMe (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[19:27] <taz> where i can find ?
[19:27] <jmedina> is there any way too see which packages do I have installed from a specific repository?
[19:27] <Dante> bazhang: Tuxracer seems to work fine so I dont think that I am missing 3d drivers? Or is there something im missing?
[19:27] <theacolyte> LiraNuna: but it *does* work with 8800GT's in SLI?
[19:27] <jmedina> for example I want to list all the packages I have installed from multiverse
[19:27] <michalski> ok thank you
[19:27] <Slart> YouKnowMe: sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree   then reinstall it using firefox
[19:27] <LiraNuna> theacolyte, yes
[19:27] <bazhang> dante that should be good then--not sure have you asked in the compiz channel?
[19:27] <JoshJ> Slart: when i just installed it via firefox, it did it with the packge manager
[19:27] <crdlb> Dante: you must use Xgl with that driver
[19:27] <JoshJ> Slart: just a FYI
[19:27] <hyde> weźcie sie
[19:28] <maximilion> Well, there's GTK, Beryl, compiz as you say, Gnome, X11...

[19:30] <Dante> crdlb: And I just write sudo wep-get install xserver-xgl?
[19:30] <crdlb> Dante: the ATI driver does not support the things needed to run compiz, so you must install xserver-xgl, which is essenitally an abstraction layer
[19:30] <Slart> JoshJ: yes.. firefox runs apt or something.. I'm just not sure it works the same when you run if from apt alone.. any way.. that was the way I did it and it worked =)
[19:30] <Dante> crdlb: Nice can I do that in add/remove?

[19:47] <Villano> But I'm sure the mail is there,  because in console, I type: mail and can read the mail for that user.
[19:48] <Villano> I configured outlook in a Windows machine for testing, and sending goes fine. But when I chek for new mail, there nothing, not even errors
[19:48] <speedjunkie> hey everyone...quick simple question from a noob...how do you make something executable
[19:48] <Villano> speedjunkie : chmod +x filename
[19:49] <Villano> :D

[19:50] <KR-data> hi, I've booted a system from the kubuntu livecd, to make a backup of a harddrive, fdisk showed that the system is OnTrackDM6 I found this: http://ramses.smeyers.be/varia/OnTrackDM6/ but I'm not sure what to do? Besides since it is a live cd, how much will I gain from rebooting?
[19:50] <maximilion> If I install all the Tango icon stuff (except industrial tango-gtk), will it change the whole theme?
[19:50] <LucidDr34m3r> gtt: any ideas? does any of that make sense?
[19:50] <maximilion> (From Synaptic)
[19:51] <speedjunkie> hey guys...its been a while since i used ubuntu...in terminal how do i go move into the desktop directory?

[19:52] <w3pog> anyone here particularly good with LVM using large partition sizes, i.e., in excess of a terabyte?  server 7.10 seems to not like it much at all, thre's a couple ubuntu bug reports but I have yet to find a workaround that actually works
[19:52] <cherva> can someone tell me a nice app like everest for windows to see what types of ram support my motherboard
[19:54] <maximilion> cherva, look in you motherboard manual or google your motherboard name/model? :)
[19:54] <maximilion> Far more reliable than auto-detection :)
[19:55] <speedjunkie> can anyone help me install java..been trying for hours with no success
[19:55] <cherva> I don't know the mother board of the pc I whant to check
[19:55] <neverblue> speedjunkie, what seems to be the issue, what method are you using to install
[19:55] <KR-data> speedjunkie, try looking at the ubuntu-restricted-extras package
[19:56] <speedjunkie> tried to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras package, but it says it couldnt find the packages
[19:57] <Breakage> Hi could someone help, i'm having problems setting fonts in urxvt with .Xresources using the URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=10
[19:57] <Breakage> command
[19:57] <pepperjack> speedjunkie: do a search for sun jre and install that package.  that should be it assuming the package isnt broken in some way. you may need to sudo update-alternatives java or somesuch to fix symlinks not sure
[19:57] <speedjunkie> i went to the synaptic and thought i installed java that way but it didnt work...i am trying to run frostwire
[19:57] <Breakage> heres my xorg.conf everything else works if I remove that line
[19:57] <Breakage> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55125/
[19:58] <Kein> Is it possible to install Ubuntu to a flash drive?
[19:58] <pepperjack> speedjunkie: what does java -version say?
[19:58] <KR-data> how do I mount from a OnTrackDM6 system, when on the livecd?
[19:58] <speedjunkie> 1.4.2
[19:58] <gtt> LucidDr34m3r: I probably dont know enough to really solve the problem, however I would try it with the livecd... to make sure it's not something that's a part of your config/install
[19:58] <pepperjack> Kein: yep https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[19:59] <LucidDr34m3r> hmm... alright thanks anyhow
[19:59] <gtt> LucidDr34m3r: it does this regardless of whether it's connected to mains power?
[20:00] <LucidDr34m3r> gtt: yeah
[20:00] <LucidDr34m3r> gtt: well... if i unplug it, it turns off
[20:01] <gtt> LucidDr34m3r: it sounds like a dead battery to me.
[20:01] <gtt> it's not dual boot so you can test it in windows per chance?
[20:01] <LucidDr34m3r> gtt: definitely not. i've tried it with other batteries that i know are good
[20:01] <LucidDr34m3r> gtt: not dual booting, no
[20:01] <maximilion> Installed basic Ubuntu, not happy with any of the themes. Can I get Tango icons and a nice clean OSX style theme without installing compiz, GTK, ... ?
[20:02] <pepperjack> speedjunkie: do a sudo update-alternatives --list java what does that say?
[20:02] <gtt> ok, happens on multiple batteries... weirdness
[20:02] <maximilion> gtt, pepperjack, anyone?

[20:08] <KaiForce> no truecrypt channel on freenode?

I noticed this very bug after installing the pamusb package the other day: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-patches/2007-August/012114.html  If such a small fix like this was found and changed months ago, how come the version I just downloaded didn't reflect it?

[20:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about channel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:09] <Jouva> pepperjack: Thanks again for your help yesterday with pointing me to pamusb :) Works quite well! Just wish they fixed a bug that doesn't allow 2 or more devices that can authenticate a single user. It has support for it in the code but just not in the config loader apparently.
[20:10] <coin_pan> exit
[20:10] <bullgard4> Pici: Ah! Thank you very much.
[20:10] <Flannel> TKingdom: what OS do you have left?
[20:10] <pepperjack> Jouva: thats pretty cool. who needs more than 2 devices anyway :)
[20:11] <TKingdom> Flannel: I'm on the Master drive now with Ubuntu 7.10
[20:11] <TKingdom> The other installation is the same thing
[20:11] <Flannel> TKingdom: Oh, and you want to remove another ubuntu install? just ... reformat it
[20:11] <TKingdom> What about the options in the grub bootloader? How can I remove those so it automatically loads this one
[20:12] <none> hi all
[20:12] <none> good evening
[20:12] <Jouva> pepperjack: Backup if the original one fails or breaks? ;)
[20:12] <Flannel> TKingdom: Are the default options that install or this install?
[20:12] <Jouva> Or gets lost
[20:12] <Dante> Are there a set of buttons to press to change keyboard layout like in windows there is shift+alt?
[20:12] <phoenix666> there is an option in System/administration/startup
[20:12] <TKingdom> Flannel: I believe this one.  It's the first option...
[20:12] <Jouva> pepperjack: That is, if one used "auth required" in various modules instead of "auth sufficient"
[20:13] <Hammer89> is there any consensus on what the best CD burner is for Ubuntu?
[20:13] <Flannel> TKingdom: alright, just to double check, pastebin /boot/grub/menu.lst please
[20:13] <phoenix666> I answered to grub
[20:13] <Flannel> !best | Hammer89
[20:13] <ubotu> Hammer89: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[20:13] <kdub432> does anyone know of a way to use "control-c" and control-v" instead of the "control-shift-c" and "control-shift-v" that you have to use in gnome terminal?
[20:13] <Hammer89> Flannel: lol... okay :)
[20:13] <pepperjack> Jouva: is still expect you to update the wiki :)
[20:13] <emil31> i was wondering if you can help me ppl
[20:14] <emil31> I have webcam but don't find drivers for it
[20:14] <Flannel> Hammer89: for a list, /msg ubotu burn and then take a gander
[20:14] <Jouva> pepperjack: Which one? Which entry?
[20:14] <Jouva> Or do you mean put in an entry in the ubuntu wiki?
[20:14] <TKingdom> Flannel:  The menu.lst is a bit large, even passed the default options. Won't I get reprimanded for flooding?
[20:15] <Flannel> !pastebin | TKingdom
[20:15] <ubotu> TKingdom: 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)
[20:15] <Kein> pastebin it.
[20:15] <Hammer89> Flannel: thanks!
[20:15] <emil31> it's live webcam vista, is it possible to use it with ubuntu 7.10 ?

[20:17] <Flannel> TKingdom: alright, yeah, just remove the other one.  And to get rid of the entries, just remove them from that file (down at the bottom, the ones after the "End Debian automagic kernels list")
[20:18] <shacamus> hey everybody ! i encountered some problemes after my ubuntu installation... no sound... no gstreamer found... buggable videos.... could you help me ?
[20:18] <TKingdom> Flannel:  Save to remove the entries before I reformat the drive?
[20:18] <shacamus> no audio device....
[20:18] <Flannel> TKingdom: sure.  Doesn't matter which order (unless you reformat, and then try and select one of them)
[20:18] <TKingdom> Flannel:  Okay, thanks your help.
[20:18] <Flannel> stemount^: You might get a better response in #ubuntu-uk
[20:19] <stemount^> sure

[20:19] <Pici> tomasko: The best way would to file a bug on Launchpad.

[20:20] <skopii> hello let me give you some background first. I am very comfortable w/ linux (debian) and my friend who has never used linux before wants to install linux. I told her to try ubuntu. She wanted to dual boot though, so she made 3 logical partitions using partition magic. She boots the installer and chooses "custom". this is where she gets lost. I have never actually used ubuntu like I said, but in debian if you don't need to make any partitions you can choose fr
[20:20] <ewanchic>  I'm looking for some information on using growisofs. I've already used read the man pages. I'm trying to look for explanation of some of the --use-the-force-luke switches to try and diagnose my errors.
[20:21] <Flannel> skopii: you got cut off at "you can choose fr"
[20:21] <skopii> lol Flannel
[20:21] <skopii> from already  available partitons and associate them with mountpoints
[20:22] <Flannel> skopii: is she using the Desktop CD or the Alternate CD to install? (desktop is GUI, alternate CD uses debian installer)
[20:22] <skopii> ie if your disc is already partitioned just skip that step and start formatting/setting up mount points
[20:22] <tomasko> wow, apparently this problem has been around since _dapper_
[20:22] <tomasko> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+source/maxima/+bug/92710
[20:22] <skopii> Flannel: I am pretty sure she is using the desktop, perhaps I should tell her to use the ALlt...
[20:22] <ewanchic> I have a posting on my growisofs issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690527
[20:22] <skopii> she says she clicks the "installer" from the desktop cd
[20:23] <skopii> well s/destop cd/Desktop/
[20:23] <Flannel> skopii: Thats the Desktop.  But, it should allow her to.  However, Feisty had a bug where you had to actually use the partitioner to create the root partition.  No idea whether it was fixed in Gutsy or not, so if, even after she has moved on and selected mountpoints, she gets a "you need a /" error, she'll just need to go back, delete/recreate that partition
[20:24] <skopii> Flannel: trying that now...thanks ;]
[20:24] <TopoMorto> someone has succesfully installed ubuntu on ASUS Pro57SN (T8300/3G Ram/Geforce9500M GS (512))  Notebook?
[20:25] <skopii> only she said that it was complaining that she didn't have a /boot
[20:25] <skopii> perhaps I will just tell her to delete all those partitions and re-create using ubuntu

[20:32] <jorgenpt> Hi, anyone know a good way to upgrade chroots that're meant to be booted over PXE or whatnot? Just using chroot ...  then aptitude upgrade isn't always as good, because it fails installing some packages that want to restart certain packages (like openssh, apache, console-setup, atd, etc) - because something is already listening on their port on the machine that hosts the chroot.
[20:32] <WhoaItsPhil> thanks bodsda...i'll give it a shot
[20:33] <Codenut> I will research to postfix and exim. Thanks for the input.
[20:33] <Bodsda> WhoaItsPhil, no probs,;~)

[20:35] <Starnestommy> johnficc1: I think you need libsoup and libgtk2.0-dev
[20:35] <white_eagle> moin moin
[20:35] <johnficc1> Starnestommy: ok let me try that.

[20:35] <Druidshade> can someone help me? I want to install ubuntu 7.10 on a different desktop pc, ive dowloaded the iso and burned it, but when i put it into the pc the ubunto screen loads but when i select somerthing it either goes to  a black screen or the pc reboots.
[20:35] <Starnestommy> johnficc1: er, libsoup-2.2-dev
[20:36] <white_eagle> Druidshade, how much ram do you have on that pc?

[20:36] <ubotu> Bodsda: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts
[20:36] <Bodsda> Dirrtys, you do realise thats not actually a question,.,.right?
[20:36] <Gnea> Druidshade: sounds like you've got some shoddy hardware
[20:36] <Druidshade> 512 mb
[20:36] <Bodsda> Flannel,  thankyou my friend
[20:36] <white_eagle> Druidshade, hardware INcompatibility, i guess

[20:36] <Gnea> :)
[20:36] <Druidshade> ok bummer :(
[20:36] <Bodsda> Gnea, wrong person dude
[20:36] <white_eagle> will you tell us your hardware?
[20:37] <white_eagle> Druidshade
[20:37] <white_eagle> ..
[20:37] <Gnea> Bodsda: scrollback
[20:37] <Flannel> Druidshade: You'll be able to install from the alternate CD, and more than likely be able to get X to work on the real install
[20:37] <Bodsda> Gnea, scrollback to where?
[20:37] <johnficc1> Starnestommy: I have that I still get the same thing?
[20:37] <Druidshade> ok, will try the alternate cd first
[20:37] <Bodsda> Druidshade, are you using a desktop or laptop?
[20:38] <Druidshade> desktop
[20:38] <Dirrtys> Yea I just want a name of cam that works
[20:38] <Bodsda> Druidshade, have you got a graphics card?
[20:38] <Druidshade> yup
[20:38] <Gnea> Bodsda: that one was pretty obvious - he was asking what the easiest webcam to install out-of-the-box in ubuntu is - there's a supported list on the site
[20:38] <Bodsda> Druidshade, have you got a normal motherboard screen slot?
[20:38] <maximilion> Help! 'Install theme' button is greyed in gcursor.
[20:38] <Bodsda> Gnea, but what he wrote, was not a question
[20:39] <Gnea> Bodsda: should be a simple matter of matching it up with sometihng on newegg.com or walmart
[20:39] <Gnea> Bodsda: it's all about interpretation :)
[20:39] <Bodsda> Gnea,  you answer him them
[20:39] <ajitam> hi can somebody tell me how can I create sfv file (rar1, rar2, rar3, sfv) ? thx
[20:39] <wil_> I am so confused... I am still trying to learn linux... I just downloaded rar linux version and unpacked it to a directory.... I go to that directory but can not run it (i tried typing rar). I then downloaded the rar program from the add/remove programs and it works when I type rar anywhere. Why is this and how do I get programs to work that I download?
[20:39] <Gnea> Dirrtys: well that website that ubotu gave you has them
[20:39] <Bodsda> Gnea, sorry,.,. i dont really do 'nice' at this hour,.,.;~)
[20:39] <Druidshade> bodsda, what is a normal motherboard screen slot?
[20:39] <Flannel> Dirrtys: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[20:39] <maximilion> I installed gcursor via Synaptic and it appears in preferences, but I can't change cursor. What could be wrong?
[20:40] <Bodsda> Druidshade, could you use your screen if you remove your graphics card?
[20:40] <Gnea> Bodsda: i just took a midterm and i'm hungrier than all heck - i can do nice :P
[20:40] <Dirrtys> Yes it does thank you very much
[20:40] <DRebellion> wil_: you should always check for a package in the repositories first before downloading manually.
[20:40] <bob__> Hi again
[20:40] <Bodsda> Gnea, i hope you did well,.,.;~),.,. but i still think putting ?? marks on the end of a statement is a bad way of making it a question,.,.lol
[20:40] <johnficc1> Starnestommy: do you think I need a newer version of libsoup?
[20:40] <bob__> i'd like to mount a cd image in .bin format?
[20:40] <bob__> how do i do that?
[20:40] <Gnea> Dirrtys: good matches there with walmart.com and newegg.com
[20:40] <Druidshade> never tried that
[20:41] <Starnestommy> johnficc1: maybe
[20:41] <Bodsda> Druidshade, but can you,. if you can,. remove the graphics card completely ,. and try
[20:41] <jorgenpt> Anyone have experience with rtl gbit nics on nForce chipsets?
[20:41] <drew_> hi all, i need to compile a self dependent struct, a linked list, how can i do that?
[20:41] <Gnea> Bodsda: one ? is good... two ?'s is usually a sign that the person is on the verge of meltdown... anything more just needs to be dipped into a vat of dry ice ;)
[20:41] <wil_> DRebellion, well, I know that now because it works! but... I am still trying to learn linux and would like to learn how to get apps working manually... why did it not work when I went to the folder and typed rar?
[20:41] <Bodsda> Gnea, what???
[20:41] <Bodsda> ;~_
[20:41] <Gnea> Bodsda: shatter!
[20:42] <Bodsda> ;~)
[20:42] <Gnea> :)
[20:42] <jorgenpt> I was running Edgy, but it didn't support it, so I upgraded to Feisty - and plan on upgrading to Gutsy - but according to this: http://www.hailfinger.org/carldani/linux/patches/forcedeth/ - he's still implementing gbit support.
[20:42] <Flannel> !away > rhyhann-dinner
[20:42] <DRebellion> wil_: you probably downloaded a source package, meaning you would have to compile the code (turn it from source to binary) before you could use/run it.
[20:42] <bob__> i'd like to mount a cd image in .bin format, do you need an application for that? or can i mount it in some other way?
[20:42] <Gnea> Bodsda: it is not a class that i really wnated to take, but i'm finding that it has distinct advantages when it comes to learning how to bridge certain gaps
[20:42] <DRebellion> bob__: mount -t loop file.bin /path/to/mountpoint
[20:43] <bob__> what does the loop do?
[20:43] <Bodsda> Gnea, like,.,.,.,.,.,.the english channel???
[20:43] <Jouva> pepperjack: Which wiki were you referring to by me updating one related to pamusb?
[20:43] <ewanchic>  I'm looking for some information on using growisofs. I've already used read the man pages. I'm trying to look for explanation of some of the --use-the-force-luke switches to try and diagnose my errors.
[20:43] <Bodsda> can someone double check to see if theres a site here plz     http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/
[20:43] <Gnea> Bodsda: this one is much, MUCH more complicated ;)
[20:43] <andreas_> hey does anyone know why even though i installed the java jdk 1.5 and jre 1.5, when i type in the konlola "java something" it says that it can't find java?
[20:43] <wil_> DRebellion, I just download the winrar linux version from their site, unpacked to one folder... went to that location from terminal and I tried typing rar... nothing happened.... but then I added the rar app in add remove, typed rar and it worked straight away from any folder
[20:43] <Bodsda> Gnea, river themes?
[20:43] <Gnea> Bodsda: yup
[20:43] <maximilion> Never mind, found an answer... strange that someone here suggested I should install gcursor...
[20:43] <wil_> DRebellion,  I know it now works, but I just dont understand why that did not before
[20:43] <Bodsda> lol
[20:43] <Gnea> Bodsda: windows server 2003 :P
[20:43] <Dirrtys> Well I off to shop now that I know what I want..Thank Guys
[20:43] <pepperjack> Jouva: wiki.ubuntu.com im not sure how many people still use it though
[20:43] <Bodsda> Gnea, aaahhhh!!! purge the beast
[20:44] <ewanchic>  I'm looking for some information on using growisofs. I've already used read the man pages. I'm trying to look for explanation of some of the --use-the-force-luke switches to try and diagnose my errors.
[20:44] <Jouva> pepperjack: Was there an entry for pamusb? If not I'm not sure what to name the page or link it to. Or what sort of standards they have for formatting a document
[20:44] <Druidshade> bodsda, after removing the video card there is no slot for the monitor

[21:01] <drpcken> ahhhh
[21:01] <drpcken> so grep is a search
[21:01] <drpcken> gotcha
[21:01] <President_Thor> i'm copying some data dvds
[21:01] <drpcken> ok restarting
[21:01] <DRebellion> drpcken: i used the -i flag to make it case insensitive
[21:01] <wolfman2323> hi..
[21:01] <bluefoxx> what is /scripts/init-bottem anyways? is it important?
[21:01] <President_Thor> and they're done, but all my HD space is gone
[21:02] <jorgenpt> Gnea: The problem is that it's a netbooted system, so currently it doesn't boot: It loads the kernel, and fails with "ipconfig: eth0: SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device" "ipconfig: no devices to configure" "/init: .: 1: Can't open /tmp/net-eth0.conf" [ ..] Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[21:02] <jorgenpt> I'm downloading an ubuntu CD now, and I'll try making an USB stick bootable, and I'll see if I can find the device when I'm booted off the usb stick.
[21:02] <Gnea> jorgenpt: perhaps it's showing up as eth1? have you looked at the F-key options at boottime?
[21:03] <Bodsda> drpcken, i suggest learning them b4 you execuye,. although DRebellion would probably not deliberately destroy your computer, he could do so with just 4 letters and a space,.,. ask the person what the com does, then if your not sure,. go check it on the web,.,.although no one in here will give you a bad command cause everyone else would see it
[21:03] <bert_> hi, does anyone know a nice program to record your desktop ?
[21:03] <jorgenpt> What F-key options at boottime, Gnea?
[21:03] <bob__> how to create an extra mountpoint in /media/ ?
[21:03] <jorgenpt> The thing is that this page: http://www.hailfinger.org/carldani/linux/patches/forcedeth/ says he's _trying_ to implement proper gbit support, but that you need to manually patch. OTOH, the Ubuntu kernel sources has Gbit references in the forecdeth.c file.
[21:04] <bluefoxx> jorgenpt, in my expirence when you get a "kernel panic: not syncing" its usually acpu speed/ram speed problem, either you have overclocked your cpu to much, underclocked it too much, or its toast
[21:04] <Gnea> bob__: mkdir /media/MYNEWMOUNTPOINT
[21:04] <DRebellion> bob__: sudo mkdir /media/newmountpoint
[21:04] <noia> test
[21:04] <Bodsda> noia, test is good
[21:04] <jorgenpt> bluefoxx: No, the problem is that it's mounting NFS as root but can't start bring the net interface up.
[21:04] <noia> thanx
[21:04] <bob__> thanks
[21:04] <Bodsda> no probs
[21:04] <jorgenpt> I haven't touched CPU/RAM speed from stock settings :)
[21:04] <bob__> nooby Q i know ;)
[21:05] <pepperjack> bob__: you can mount to any directory basically  /home/username/somedir for example
[21:05] <neverblue> guys, having an issue with postfix-doc, when I do my morning updates, it seems to give me an error, I have tried to do aptitude remove, yet I get the error: ' Removing postfix-doc ...postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf for reading: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing postfix-doc (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1' what can I do resolve this ?
[21:05] <jorgenpt> Hm, nvm that page I pasted, seems the patch is _ancient_, it says 0.28 in the newest gbit patch, ubuntu has 0.60. Then I don't get why it doesn't load the forcedeth driver properly?
[21:05] <bluefoxx> jorgenpt, ah, dont know from there then, thats just what i know as i do a lot of overclocking[fried my mobos but never my cpu, strangly]
[21:05] <borncrazy> http://pastebin.com/m3788cfba
[21:05] <jorgenpt> bluefoxx: Ouch ;)
[21:06] <jorgenpt> Is there anything that would cause it to give it another name, except for a /etc/ethers? I've added forcedeth to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and /etc/modules, and regenerated initramfs, but it still fails.
[21:06] <jw144000> Wubi 7.10 crashes when I try to open it, can anyone help?
[21:06] <bluefoxx> jorgenpt, now i run linux, i can just plug my hdd into another machine, now that i have two extra desktops[6 comps worth of parts and two mobos in one week, W00T!]
[21:07] <chazco_> Does dpkg install dependencys automatically? e.g dpkg -i some.deb would install its dependencys also?

[21:08] <Bodsda> what is linux mint? apart from a distro
[21:08] <Bodsda> os
[21:08] <neverblue> Bodsda, google it?
[21:08] <bluefoxx> !linux | Bodsda
[21:08] <ubotu> Bodsda: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[21:09] <Bodsda> bluefoxx,  really?
[21:09] <erUSUL> neverblue: does /etc/postfix/main.cf exist? maybe a sudo touch /etc/postfix/main.cf ? can workaraund the issue?
[21:09] <pepperjack> bob__: its basically ubuntu with some proprietary stuff included by default. some useful some not such a good idea
[21:09] <bluefoxx> Bodsda, as the bot says...
[21:09] <pepperjack> Bodsda: ^
[21:09] <neverblue> erUSUL, does not exist
[21:09] <Bodsda> i was being sarcastic
[21:09] <jorgenpt> Gnea: What did you mean by F-keys options during boot?
[21:09] <Odd-rationale> Is there a way to empty a folder at shutdown like /tmp?
[21:09] <bluefoxx> Bodsda, i know >.>
[21:10] <Bodsda> bluefoxx, so now i wonder why you replied?
[21:10] <erUSUL> Odd-rationale: put the rm on /etc/rc.local ??
[21:10] <cdm10> The recent kernel update broke my touchpad driver.
[21:10] <cdm10> Oh, and the flash update broke flash
[21:10] <bluefoxx> Bodsda, because i did, but this is ot
[21:10] <Bodsda> bluefoxx, true,
[21:11] <Bodsda> aaawwww,.,. Linux mint is the windows of linux
[21:12] <Odd-rationale> erUSUL: Thanks for the tip. I'll experiment with that.
[21:12] <KiD_ChAoS> what's a good vulnerability scanner?
[21:12] <erUSUL> cdm10: for flash purge the flashplugin-nonfree package and install it again
[21:12] <neverblue> erUSUL, any ideas ?
[21:12] <wolfman2323> hi..i just wanna ask..if is it ok to download  edubuntu-desktop  .. im currently using ubuntu...
[21:12] <maximilion> I'm on a 'normal' network, adresses are 192.168.0.xx and mask 255.255.255.0 - should I disable roaming mode and enter IP and mask for Ubuntu?
[21:12] <cdm10> erUSUL: Alright.
[21:12] <Bodsda> wolfman2323, yer
[21:12] <neverblue> KiD_ChAoS, a bit off topic, please take is somewhere else
[21:12] <DRebellion> KiD_ChAoS: nessus
[21:12] <erUSUL> neverblue: maybe a sudo touch /etc/postfix/main.cf ?
[21:13] <pepperjack> wolfman2323: edubuntu is basically some themes and packages that are in the repos its perfectly safe
[21:13] <DRebellion> wolfman2323: yes
[21:13] <cdm10> erUSUL: they really should try to avoid updates that do that... I mean, seriously, this is supposed to be a consumer OS.
[21:13] <neverblue> erUSUL, the doesnt exist
[21:13] <erUSUL> neverblue: then purge the package and install again
[21:13] <neverblue> s/the/it/
[21:13] <wolfman2323> bodsa... rebellion..  even if i have.. kubuntu downloaded ?
[21:13] <KiD_ChAoS> thank you DRebellion when neverblue would not
[21:13] <Bodsda> wolfman2323, yes
[21:13] <DRebellion> wolfman2323: you can install as many different desktops as you like :)
[21:13] <erUSUL> neverblue: touch will create an empty file maybe that will appease dpkg and you can remove the package
[21:13] <neverblue> ah
[21:14] <ufuntu> hello is there any command that shows where a program is installed? (thanks in advance)
[21:14] <wolfman2323> bodsda... rebellion.. so i will have.. the option..... everytime i log in??
[21:14] <jorgenpt> ufuntu: perhaps which <program>
[21:14] <cdm10> ufuntu: whereis program
[21:14] <cdm10> ufuntu: which works too
[21:14] <cosmodad> ufuntu: use synaptics or dpkg -l
[21:14] <Bodsda> wolfman2323, not sure never done it,.,. just no you can
[21:14] <cosmodad> oh where. n/m
[21:14] <maximilion> Any network pro here that could help me with the above? :)
[21:14] <jorgenpt> or dpkg -L <package>
[21:15] <KiD_ChAoS> maximilion, yes you could do the above
[21:15] <jorgenpt> What can I do for a simple write-speed-test of a device?
[21:15] <cdm10> ufuntu: the dpkg command works if you have a package name and want to know what files it's installed. whereis/which work if you have the name of a binary and want to find out where it is.
[21:15] <maximilion> KiD_ChAoS: Good, is there a purpose for roaming mode?
[21:15] <cosmodad> jorgenpt: hdparm can do testing.
[21:15] <neverblue> nice, thanks erUSUL
[21:15] <wolfman2323> ok thanks..
[21:15] <k0p> hi. Someone here with macbook santa rosa?
[21:15] <maximilion> Companies with 20 Linux laptops? :)
[21:15] <glacier> where does linux save the source that i have downloaded with apt-get source ...
[21:15] <wolfman2323> brb
[21:15] <erUSUL> jorgenpt: hdparm -tT /dev/device
[21:16] <cosmodad> glacier: in the current dir I think.
[21:16] <KiD_ChAoS> i think roaming mode lets ubuntu roam between interfaces like if it could get online with the wired connection, and roaming was turned on in the wifi connection it would roam there to reach the internet
[21:16] <DRebellion> glacier: in the current directory
[21:16] <glacier> right.. thx :-)
[21:16] <KiD_ChAoS> maximilion, i don't use it
[21:16] <k0p> I don't have a network like wlan0 on iwconfig ... it's a broadcom wireless...
[21:16] <erUSUL> KiD_ChAoS: in ubuntu roaming mode simply means that network-manager is in charge for autoconfiguring the interface
[21:16] <weltschmerz> i've installed pulseaudio (using hardy heron alpha 4), and it doesn't show up in the prefs.  any tips?
[21:16] <jorgenpt> hdparm does only reads, doesn't it?
[21:17] <DRebellion> weltschmerz: /join #ubuntu+1
[21:17] <erUSUL> KiD_ChAoS: if you disable it you use the normal /etc/network/interfaces file
[21:17] <cdm10> weltschmerz: you need to install padevchooser
[21:17] <cdm10> weltschmerz: that's what adds the GUI configuration stuff

[21:31] <LCID_Fire> ?
[21:31] <ewanchic>  Hechicera1973: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[21:32] <Veinor> WHen I boot, and look at the console with syslog level 9, I see a message that scrolls by way too fast to read
[21:32] <Veinor> How can I read it?
[21:32] <drpcken> anyone here familiar with Brightside?
[21:32] <Hechicera1973> well... in the about section it says "unbuntu 6.06 LTS - the drapper drake realeased in june 2006"
[21:32] <Speedjunkie> ok, i have an extra harddrive in my linux box and i can save things to that hard drive on linux and i can access them on the vista machine but i cant save files to the same hard drive from the vista box.
[21:33] <ewanchic> Veinor: Do the command again with |more
[21:33] <Veinor> It wasn't a command.
[21:33] <ewanchic> Venior ls -l | more
[21:33] <Veinor> It was an error message displayed during bootup.

[21:34] <Starnestommy> bob__: /nick new-nickname
[21:35] <Hechicera1973> for some strange reason
[21:35] <Speedjunkie> how can i tell?
[21:35] <Veinor> ewanchic: it's not showing up in /var/log/syslog
[21:35] <Speedjunkie> i formatted the harddrive using a program on linux
[21:35] <Hechicera1973> it doesn't get along with my 19" wide screen lcd monitor
[21:35] <LCID_Fire> type mount
[21:35] <bluefox83> hey, my system just notified me that there's a flash upgrade, is that the broken one?
[21:35] <Veinor> I remember seeing the word "fail" writetn in red on the right-hand side of the screen
[21:35] <Speedjunkie> type mount??
[21:35] <mannytu> it an update...
[21:36] <DRebellion> !brokenflash | bluefox83
[21:36] <ubotu> bluefox83: The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree »
[21:36] <manicnerd> does anyone know if the new ATI driver works with the radeon xpress 1150?
[21:36] <LCID_Fire> Speedj: open a console - enter mount, press enter
[21:36] <Speedjunkie> ok hold on brb
[21:36] <ewanchic> Hechicera1973: 7.10 doesn't work with your monitor? How so?
[21:36] <drpcken> can I use apt to kind of 'look' for install packages? instead of guessing the name when i try to install?
[21:37] <drpcken> for instance if i think i know the name
[21:37] <Starnestommy> drpcken: aptitude search word
[21:37] <drpcken> but not 100% sure?
[21:37] <Hechicera1973> when i selected the 1440 x 900 resolution, it "cut out" some part of the monitor
[21:37] <ewanchic>  Veinor: Sorry, it might not be /var/log/syslog. Hmm,i can't remember. I hope some else here does.
[21:37] <Hechicera1973> l had a black column on the left side of the monitor
[21:37] <Hechicera1973> very strange thing
[21:37] <gtt> Hechicera1973: press the auto adjust button on your monitor
[21:37] <Hechicera1973> yes, i did it!
[21:37] <Hechicera1973> the same thing
[21:38] <Hechicera1973> i notice when i switch from windows to linux, there is a different setting, and I always use auto adjust
[21:38] <ewanchic> Hechicera1973: I would go back to 7.10 becuase it is more updated. Then install the restricted drivers. Then work with your monitor... I believe the command is nvidiaconfig
[21:39] <gtt> Hechicera1973: does it show the entire contents + the black bar ?
[21:39] <ewanchic> Hechicera1973: I too had issues with my LCD monitor setup until I used nvidaconfig
[21:39] <matisse> Is it possible to build an update package on your own if you have the sources ? (so the package database will stay alright)
[21:39] <gtt> or is part of it missing, and you get the black bar instead?
[21:39] <neeto> How do I save my Xfce session so that X and all the program settings I have now will stay the same?
[21:40] <Speedjunkie> how do i reformat my extra hard drive
[21:40] <DRebellion> matisse: yes
[21:40] <DRebellion> Speedjunkie: what format do you want?
[21:40] <drpcken> ok, say i have apt downloading/installing in one terminal, is it ok to open another terminal and do things? for instance turn off the system beep?
[21:40] <DRebellion> drpcken: yep
[21:40] <drpcken> nice
[21:40] <Hechicera1973> ok
[21:40] <ewanchic> Hechicera1973: I'm using 1650 x 1280? can't remember I'm not home righ now
[21:40] <LCID_Fire> Speedj: I'd say Gnome Partition Manager
[21:41] <Hechicera1973> no.. resolutions higher than 1440 x 900 causes my monitor going black
[21:41] <Hechicera1973> well... i'll give a shot to 7
[21:41] <ewanchic> Hechicera1973: You will need the restricted drivers in order for beryl to work, but I think it comes pre-installed already.
[21:41] <Hechicera1973> againg, and come back
[21:41] <Hechicera1973> thanks guys
[21:41] <Veinor> Also I'm having problems getting suspend and hibernate to work properly
[21:41] <ewanchic> Hechicera1973: A hot key would be SpecialWindowsKey + e
[21:41] <Veinor> Or, suspend at least.
[21:41] <Hechicera1973> thank you
[21:41] <Hechicera1973> see you later
[21:41] <ewanchic> Veinor: Are you using a laptop?
[21:42] <Veinor> Yeah.
[21:42] <ewanchic> Hechicera1973: Good luck
[21:42] <ewanchic> Hechicera1973: And God Bles
[21:42] <Veinor> Says "Your computer failed to suspend. Check the help file for common problems."
[21:42] <LCID_Fire> Does anyone know whether it's legal to use a stack array in a kernel module!?
[21:43] <brian__> you know to program gtk
[21:43] <silentabe939> Okay i need help but idk if you guys can help
[21:43] <Veinor> ewanchic: why, you have any idea as to what it could be?
[21:43] <ewanchic> Veinor: i personally do care for hibernate and suspend. It's kinda flawed electronics IMHO. Most forums i've seen say to turn ACPI off. There are also issues, not with ubuntu but the linux altogether that if you use that, or low= power, it will destroy your hard drive (to make a long story short)
[21:43] <whoaitsphil> i am trying to edit my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for a WoW tweak but when i try to save it, it says could not save the file. you do not have the permissions necessary to save the file...any way i can do this?
[21:44] <Veinor> hmm.
[21:44] <DRebellion> whoaitsphil: gsudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:44] <Veinor> whoaitsphil: run 'gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf' (without quotes)
[21:44] <DRebellion> whoaitsphil: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:44] <silentabe939> does anyone know how to access the secret xkcd forum?
[21:44] <whoaitsphil> ty

[21:50] <Speedjunkie> alright people i need some help...i have an external hard drive, i mounted it and it is now /media/hdb1...i want to find out how to unmount and reformat that hard drive
[21:50] <gtt> wyseur: one way would be to use the included file manager or go to the directory that you've defined as the root for your wine apps using your xterm and just use mkdir
[21:50] <crazney> hey, i'm trying to upgrade my feisty install completely so i can upgrade to 7.10 or whatever.. but apt-get update is constantly dying on http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz which is causing other problems.
[21:50] <crazney> it's dying on that url, cause well, it's not gzip'd
[21:51] <crazney> it's just text.. and so gzip dies
[21:51] <rfitch> Speedjunkie: I think GNOME Partiton Manager might have something to help you out with this
[21:52] <Speedjunkie> i tried that but i dont see hdb1 in there
[21:52] <wyseur> thx gtt, gonna try that
[21:52] <Speedjunkie> all i see is my master drive and the partitions in it
[21:52] <xTheGoat121x> All right, there seems to be some error in lid.sh that causes an endless loop on my laptop that eats CPU cycles
[21:53] <erUSUL> wyseur: make a normal dir in ~/.wine/drive_c/
[21:53] <gtt> Speedjunkie: you used the little drop-down drive selection menu in the upper right that's very easy to overlook, right?
[21:53] <drpcken> whats the -y parameter do in apt-get?
[21:53] <Speedjunkie> tried that also its not there....

[21:56] <zamboli> I have flash installed, but firefox isnt using it, i cant view youtube videos
[21:56] <DRebellion> !info songbird | mohbana
[21:56] <rfitch> then mkfs.etx3 (or whatever fs you like) /dev/hdb1
[21:56] <ubotu> mohbana: Package songbird does not exist in gutsy

[22:01] <Blue_Sassley> DJAdmiral, mine is working just fine
[22:01] <gigamonkey> I have an SD card for my Asus eee. If I don't care about sharing files with any Windows boxes, is there any reason to not repartition it with ext3 or something other than vfat?
[22:01] <DJAdmiral> fesha, I've never used an SD card before, but in all likeliness
[22:01] <drpcken> DJAdmiral, mine is working
[22:01] <DJAdmiral> it should be in /mnt or /media
[22:01] <DJAdmiral> what are your AIM account settings?
[22:01] <Blue_Sassley> DJAdmiral, the default ones

[22:02] <makingtheswitch> hi everyone

[22:03] <makingtheswitch> I've been trying to figure out the best way to store my files for my switch from XP to Ubuntu. Is it possible to buy an internal hard drive and just isntall it on that? If so, what kind? I don't know if I want to dual boot or not. I'm over WIndows
[22:03] <Blue_Sassley> DJAdmiral, yes those are my settings
[22:03] <RoRza> can anyone help me to retrive my password ?
[22:04] <DRebellion> RoRza: you can't
[22:04] <mohbana> !info nvu > mohbana
[22:04] <RoRza> why not  ?
[22:04] <DRebellion> RoRza: you could try cracking it with john
[22:04] <wyseur> anybody knows how to choose your rapget directory??? should it be like c:\downloads, or do you have to put the whole /home/¬/.wine/.... ????
[22:04] <ompaul> RoRza, reboot the box and choose "recovery " from the grub menu - the console right at the very very start - then well when the box boots type "passwd YourUserNameHere" and choose your new password and type reboot and all will be good
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> marcool: You are rapidly reaching end of life on that release.  If you have gotten this much service out of it, you can afford a little down time, or make room and run dual until you get the new one just the way you want it
[22:04] <noelferreira> anyone testes hardy heron already (alpha4 release)?

[22:05] <Bethesda> Good evening, I have a little bit of a problem with gaming on Linux - I can get things to work, but less good then on Windows. I basically despise myself for having to dual-boot XP for just gaming ... more people who feel the same about this?
[22:05] <DRebellion> drpcken: which application?
[22:05] <Kein> I feel fine about having a dual-boot.
[22:05] <mikeymouse> I have been using hardy for a couple of weeks now and its running well
[22:05] <wolfman2323> the splash screen is the one that u see when ur os is loading right??
[22:05] <DRebellion> wolfman2323: yes
[22:05] <Kein> Sure, if WINE was better I wouldn't be using Windows.
[22:05] <Bethesda> I feel the same Kein.

[22:06] <iwkse> hi there..
[22:06] <Kein> But it still isn't running what I need it to.
[22:06] <Bethesda> Also, to be Dual-booting XP ( on a different HDD ) Should I do Windows first and reinstall Linux later?
[22:06] <Kein> It doesn't matter as long as you're able to install GRUB again.
[22:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Blue_Sassley: It can never be perfect.. it is designed to run Windows apps.  :)

[22:07] <Vern> are the files not available anymore?
[22:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Bethesda: Yes windows on first makes life a little easier
[22:07] <Blue_Sassley> Jack_Sparrow, you have a point but it can get to a "broken" windows level
[22:07] <CyberGabber> RoRza: Take a look at : http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/recover-forgotten-ubuntu-password.html
[22:07] <ompaul> marcool, if you have had a box up for such a long time - and it is "making money" then it is time to host it on a new machine build the new one and then test everything and get it all happy again -- if it is a desktop back up your data and give yourself two hours work at some slack time - announce it to users and be done with it - if a disk blew out you will be down for a lot longer getting new disks etc
[22:07] <DRebellion> wolfman2323: i don't think that's for when you boot. i think it's for when gnome is loading up.
[22:07] <tonedevf> Does anyone here run Gutsy on XFS?

[22:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Bluey: Win-modem is the operative phrase...
[22:10] <makingtheswitch> I can give specs if anyone can help
[22:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Bluey: Those are not true modems, they are emulated in software eating up cpu cycles to do the work
[22:11] <ompaul> makingtheswitch, name your hardware and then people can advise about how to deal with it - the other way would be impossible name everything that does not work - how about my car but I am working on that ;-)
[22:11] <Jack_Sparrow> makingtheswitch: We have a supported hardware page
[22:11] <Jack_Sparrow> makingtheswitch: It is not as up to date as we would like

[22:12] <Bluey> wellh ow can i get it to ocnnect to the internet?
[22:12] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[22:12] <Kein> Basic dist-upgrade, replacing repost then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
[22:12] <Kein> repost?
[22:12] <Kein> wtf?
[22:12] <Kein> replacing repositories.
[22:12] <ompaul> makingtheswitch, use a live cd and see if it works - and please type on one line or if lots of info please type on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[22:12] <jpatrick> !language > Kein
[22:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Bluey: You can buy the special drivers for that card , but that costs just about as much at replacing the modem
[22:13] <Pici> Kein: Replacing repos in your sources.list is not the reccomended way to upgrade.
[22:13] <tonedevf> XFS, anyone?  heard rumors of problems or seen bug reports on it?
[22:13] <ompaul> Kein, think about it - your repos are for your old version - of course they must be replaced with an upgrade

[22:13] <ompaul> tonedevf, head into #ubuntu+1 for hardy
[22:13] <makingtheswitch> intel graphics media accelarator graphics card
[22:13] <Jack_Sparrow> makingtheswitch: Everything there is fine, what about sound card, video card and wifi or net card
[22:14] <tonedevf> ompaul: sorry, i don't understand.  are you saying i need to use hardy for full xfs compatibility?
[22:14] <makingtheswitch> video is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
[22:14] <bluefox83> my gf's machine is having issues running firefox and swiftfox...it uses like 100% cpu, is there anything i can do to fix it?
[22:14] <Jack_Sparrow> makingtheswitch: Intel wont be a problem
[22:14] <ompaul> makingtheswitch, nothing there that scares me - use a live CD to test your hardware
[22:14] <Jo71n_7_8471n> how to enable OLDPWD ?
[22:14] <makingtheswitch> can't find sound card
[22:14] <makingtheswitch> I will
[22:14] <makingtheswitch> but, I'm only buying the laptop to switch to Ubuntu
[22:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Jo71n_7_8471n: Do youKNOW the old password
[22:14] <makingtheswitch> so I don't want to be stuck with a Vista machine if I can't switch, you know?
[22:15] <Bluey> i am very confused. i know i had to do a scan, so i did. then i was told what files to download, so i did, i followed the intstructions but that didnt work. it was Feist Fawn. then i was told to use Martian
[22:15] <bardyr> makingtheswitch, then buy a ubuntu dell or system79
[22:15] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed, and nice to see you asking first
[22:15] <ompaul> tonedevf, no you are talking about upgrades - therefore I would think of hardy - -- also XFS -- no particular pain points occur that I know of - check launchpad.net and see if there are bugs
[22:15] <makingtheswitch> the dell is a little out of my price range
[22:15] <makingtheswitch> i'll check out system79, what is that?
[22:15] <Jo71n_7_8471n> Jack_Sparrow: password? "cd -" is not working
[22:15] <janci> hmm.. so Im following the official upgrade howto, but it doesnt show the There is a new version... for me :/
[22:15] <tonedevf> no, i was just asking about fresh install of gutsy on xfs
[22:16] <tonedevf> it works until i run the updates, then stuff stops working...dbus errors, weirdness galore
[22:16] <alphawolf83> somebody know how to get a config-File in .wine? i have 3 .reg files but no config-File i need to switch off the graphic option off wine to run a console windows emu only. Can somebody please help?
[22:16] <tonedevf> ...but a fresh unpatched gutsy seems to work okay
[22:17] <fesha> My SD card isnt even showing up on my desktop like it should. Could I be missing a driver or something?
[22:17] <tonedevf> same hardware, same install, same updates but on EXT3 works
[22:17] <tonedevf> very baffling
[22:17] <bardyr> makingtheswitch, its and ubuntu laptop vendor witch name is misspelled, cant remember the correct one
[22:17] <DRebellion> alphawolf83: i think there is a specific binary you have to use to run console apps...
[22:17] <ompaul> tonedevf, when you update I presume you reboot
[22:17] <tonedevf> of course
[22:17] <ArrPirate> On my new computer I will be getting an Nvidia Geforce 8800gts 320mb 320-bit graphics card. Is that compatible with Ubuntu?
[22:17] <makingtheswitch> oh ok
[22:17] <lollo> good nighttttttttttttttttttttttt

[22:18] <r_a_f>  ArrPirate: sure
[22:18] <Jo71n_7_8471n> ;-)
[22:18] <ompaul> tonedevf, check syslog for messages and launchpad.net for bugs - as I said no idea about that being a pain point and I have xfs on a couple of boxes in work

[22:58] <ac_> i've got a question
[22:58] <DJAdmiral> !ask
[22:58] <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. :-)
[22:58] <timandtom> ac_!ask
[22:58] <nickrud> !brokenflash
[22:58] <ac_> DJAdmiral > Lan network
[22:58] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree »
[22:58] <ac_> ok
[22:58] <amenado> timandtom-> then you have to modify the corresponding wep client on your ubuntu..btw, try it on the clear to make sure you can connect before using encryptions like wep or wpa
[22:59] <ac_> So, I want to configure the soft cheese (webcam taking soft) to be more bright
[22:59] <ac_> the luminosity is too low :s
[22:59] <ac_> my cam works in other programs like amsn and stuff like that
[22:59] <seany> DJAdmiral: i move stuff around via scp most of the time, but if you want to mount remote shares i'd look at samba, or messing with sshfs
[22:59] <timandtom> amendo: Ok. How do I modify that? For starters... What IS that? Kinda new to linux :)
[22:59] <ac_> is there a way to configure ?
[23:00] <Bluey> zardosht: i know i got somewhat far with my instructions form the site. because i have the option to connect with the modem, but it never does. and the guy i had help me said it might be because of the serial error
[23:00] <amenado> timandtom-> why are fooling around with encryption when you can not even connect on the clear?
[23:00] <amenado> timandtom-> why are you* fooling around with encryption when you can not even connect on the clear?
[23:00] <pinsmack> how do i see if my soundcard is working? because now it isn't working.
[23:00] <MrBL> please help, my laptop cannot suspend since last kernel update on Gutsy...
[23:00] <timandtom> >.> Actually, I haven't tried to connect without encryption yet... Feeling kinda stupid now, haha. I'll try that
[23:00] <rottik9> I am wondering can i run loader2 ...on ubuntu...its a loader for fta?
[23:00] <timandtom> brb
[23:01] <amenado> rottik9-> what is that loader2 ?
[23:01] <ac_> anyone has an idea ?
[23:01] <Zeek15> !flash
[23:01] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[23:01] <zardosht> bluey: sorry but I cant guide further, u need someone more expert
[23:01] <Zeek15> !shockwave
[23:01] <ubotu> Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[23:01] <Bluey> zardosht: thanxs anyway
[23:01] <Zeek15> glad to see flash is working on ubuntu now :D
[23:02] <pinsmack> !sound card
[23:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sound card - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:02] <Zeek15> !sound
[23:02] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[23:02] <RMellie> any idea why dhcp works with upc.nl cable modem?
[23:02] <zardosht> bluey: but it might worth to sea this http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg19t13.htm
[23:02] <amenado> RMellie-> you expect it not to work?
[23:02] <ac_> too bad.. no one answered me on the forum, no one answers on IRC...
[23:02] <ac_> :(
[23:03] <RMellie> lol, i made a typo man chill
[23:03] <Zeek15> ac, ?
[23:03] <MrBL> ac_: yeah me too...
[23:03] <RMellie> ac what was ur question?
[23:03] <jmworx> Can someone help me fix my desktop? Ever since I disabled the desktop effects, I no longer have a window manager when I log in and need to start metacity blind from a terminal. (sorry, I asked the same question yesterday and the power went out before I could see the answer)
[23:03] <Bluey> zardosht: actually, i just rememberd something. i have an ethernet card also, and i know that Ubuntu keeps trying to use my ethernet card
[23:03] <ac_> I want to configure the luminosity in cheese.
[23:03] <CyberGabber> RMellie: type in terminal : sudo mii-tool eth0
[23:03] <ac_> It is too dark. My webcam works in other programs (amsn..) perfectly.
[23:03] <RMellie> what is this supposed to achieve?
[23:04] <ac_> i get a picture only when I expose the cam to direct light.
[23:04] <timandtom> amenado: Is there a way for Ubuntu to refresh and see what networks are around again? It still shows as encrypted(it's not)
[23:04] <RMellie> im asking because i have tried quite a few things by now
[23:04] <CyberGabber> RMellie: to check your nic-cable /link
[23:04] <Zeek15> jmworx, try changing your settings in System->Administration->Login Window
[23:04] <zardosht> bluey: ubuntu use ethernet web you are using dsl modem not for dialup
[23:04] <jj> hello all
[23:04] <pinsmack> ....can anyone help me out with my sound problem? i don't like reading pages and pages of stuff that isn't to what i am concerning for
[23:04] <amenado> timandtom-> you can type on a terminal  iwconfig wlan0 scan   assuming your wifi interface is wlan0
[23:04] <KenSentMe> How can you fix the crashed install of a deb package? Apt tells me to reinstall it but the archive isn't available. I can't get apt to install anything right now. How can i get out of this?
[23:04] <RMellie> the link cable its definetely working, im using it as we speak (ive dual booted to windows)
[23:05] <RMellie> so it is not cabling
[23:05] <RMellie> next idea about what it might be wrong
[23:05] <timandtom> amendo: unknown command: scan
[23:05] <ac_> so...
[23:05] <Slart> KenSentMe: can't you uninstall the package that is giving you problems?
[23:05] <Zeek15> KenSentMe, can you uninstall it with package manager?
[23:05] <nickrud> KenSentMe: put the complete output from  sudo apt-get -f install   on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[23:05] <Bluey> zardosht: is there a way to keep it from constantly useing my ethernet card?
[23:05] <ac_> RmEllie : I've answered...
[23:05] <Zeek15> lol we all knew that one xD
[23:05] <amenado> timandtom-> sudo iwconfig wlan0 scan
[23:05] <Slart> oh my.. we do love those easy questions =)
[23:05] <KenSentMe> Slart, apt or synaptic doesn't start
[23:05] <jmworx> Zeek15: I don't have a "Login Window" option in Administration
[23:06] <KenSentMe> nickrud, how do i run that in english so you can read it?
[23:06] <timandtom> amendo: same problem
[23:06] <Slart> KenSentMe: what happens when you run "sudo apt-get install" ?
[23:06] <Zeek15> jmworx, are u using gnome interface or KDE?
[23:06] <amenado> timandtom-> is you interface named wlan0?
[23:06] <jmworx> Zeek15: Gnome
[23:06] <amenado> timandtom-> is your interface named wlan0?
[23:06] <timandtom> amendo: Uh, I don't really know. How do I check?
[23:06] <pinsmack> D:
[23:06] <KenSentMe> How do i run a command in english instead of my system language?
[23:06] <Yanch0> i just plugged in a usb key but got no drive popping on (similar to what does in windows) any idea how I can get it please?
[23:06] <jmworx> Zeek15: I do have System->Administration though
[23:06] <amenado> timandtom-> iwconfig
[23:06] <RMellie> CyberGabber come on we are close to finding the solution
[23:07] <Zeek15> jmworx, try in terminal sudo gksu /usr/sbin/gdmsetup
[23:07] <zardosht> bluey: if you use single pc it has nothing to do with ethernet when use dialup
[23:07] <nickrud> KenSentMe:   LANG="en_EN.utf8"  sudo apt-get -f install
[23:07] <jmworx> Zeek15: Oh, I'm using Kubuntu (and thus kdm)
[23:07] <nickrud> KenSentMe:   LANG="en_US.utf8"  sudo apt-get -f install
[23:07] <Zeek15> jmworx, ah
[23:07] <timandtom> amendo: its eth1
[23:07] <mattfletcher> i ran "update-manager -d" to try and test hardy, but nothing seems different. how can i test it worked?
[23:07] <CyberGabber> RMellie: type :  sudo lspci | grep Eth
[23:07] <ac_> bye everyone...
[23:07] <ac_> no one answered me :(
[23:07] <Tredje0ye> Hello there. I can't get online. The network manager refuses to connect to my router. I've tried dhcp (which is what I connect with usually through Windows), static adress, ipv4 zone conf mode, used ifconfig, mii-tool, added 8139cp to the blacklist, and also reinstalling. LiveCD couldn't get online, alternative cd install couldn't get online, and now I'm stumped. It's a standard rtl8139 card which used to work automatically in Linux 
[23:08] <ac_> IRC is not so good
[23:08] <ac_> :'(
[23:08] <RMellie> it is the correct card, i have verified it 100%
[23:08] <Zeek15> jmworx, ok hold on a sec gotta look into KDE....
[23:08] <amenado> CyberGabber-> you have to realize he is now booting in windows..he is dual booted

[23:08] <MrBL> ac_:  let's troll this chan, yeah !
[23:08] <jmworx> Zeek15: But the problem isn't with the login window. It's after I log in. Seems like the compiz wm is trying to run despite the fact I disabled it
[23:08] <Tredje0ye> timandtom: Topcom actually

[23:08] <Bluey> zardosht: does the new information help with any new ideas at least?
[23:08] <M-Nagato> for some reason, my audigy ls card comes out with a lot of bass when the volume is turned up
[23:08] <M-Nagato> does anyone know how to fix this?
[23:08] <mattfletcher> !hardy

[23:09] <nickrud> KenSentMe: any output for me?
[23:09] <ac_> I've already looked at the doc, at the forums...
[23:09] <Zeek15> jmworx, ok u said that u can't see anything when u log in
[23:09] <timandtom> Tredje0ye: Ah, nevermind. I'm having trouble connecting to a Verizon router, so just wondering if it was just me :P
[23:09] <CyberGabber> amenado: So, he is booting to talk in IRC, and booting again to linux for trouble-shooting ? Oh boy.. this gonna cost some time ;-)
[23:09] <ac_> I don't want to troll...
[23:09] <ac_> but I'm just tired.
[23:09] <KenSentMe> nickrud, one moment, i'm asking this for someone on the dutch channel so it might take some time to deliver messages
[23:09] <ac_> In Sorry...
[23:09] <seany> has any one had success getting 7.10 to work with LDAP auth?
[23:09] <amenado> CyberGabber-> yep
[23:09] <jmworx> Zeek15: I see the panel, but if I open a terminal, I just see it as a white rectangle (no window borders, no text, no menu)
[23:10] <jmworx> Then I type '
[23:10] <Dr_willis> ac_,  i dont mess with webcams Much - i got 4 that have No linux support at all..  so good luck.
[23:10] <KenSentMe> nickrud, here is is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55146/

[23:10] <jmworx> Zeek15: Then I type "metacity --replace" and I get everything back to normal
[23:10] <jmworx> But if I log out, I need to do that again

[23:11] <zardosht> bluey: you probably need someone much more expert than me, but first take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=22762&posted=1#post22762
[23:11] <Tredje0ye> DHclient always uses 255.255.255.255 as DHCPDISCOVER, but my routers IP Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0? Are these related or different from each other?
[23:11] <Zeek15> jmworx, ok 1 sec I'll check into this
[23:11] <timandtom> amendo: sudo iwconfig eth1 scan still says scan isnt a command
[23:11] <RMellie> MrBL look into acpi
[23:11] <psi_> evening all
[23:11] <RMellie> Tredje0ye go study basic ipv4
[23:11] <RMellie> next!
[23:11] <timandtom> amendo: and eth1 is my wireless
[23:11] <Slart> Tredje0ye: different, I'd say
[23:11] <jmworx> Zeek15: thanks
[23:11] <nickrud> KenSentMe: if he has that cups package on his machine, try:     sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package
[23:11] <seany> MrBL: tell it to sleep before you close the screen...?
[23:12] <pinsmack> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55148/ anyone can help please?
[23:12] <Tredje0ye> RMellie: What if I don't have time but still want to support Open Source software?
[23:12] <amenado> timandtom-> iwconfig eth1 scan   and scan is not a command? reload your drivers, it didnt load right to understand scan..maybe reboot
[23:12] <MrBL> RMellie: thx for your answer.
[23:12] <nickrud> Tredje0ye: send me money ;0
[23:12] <RMellie> Tredje0ye still u need to look up the basics
[23:12] <RMellie> anyone using the upc/cello isp here??
[23:12] <smallfoot-> no
[23:13] <MrBL> seany: when I do this, it just doesn't! All it can do is shutdown, no suspend or hibernate
[23:13] <amenado> Tredje0ye-> are you booted off of the liveCD now?
[23:13] <KenSentMe> nickrud, will do, one moment
[23:13] <Tredje0ye> Nope, I'm in Windows
[23:13] <mohbana> how do i find the list of running processes?
[23:13] <RMellie> u did a /w and checked or u took it out fo you know where
[23:13] <Bluey> zardosht: alright thank you. ill go through these sites and if i still need help ig uess ill have to come back here.
[23:13] <Tredje0ye> The LiveCD couldn't connect either
[23:13] <Zeek15> jmworx, alright can u access your theme manager?
[23:13] <timandtom> amendo: Ah, k, I'll try that... Back in a few
[23:14] <amenado> Tredje0ye-> well it is difficult to assist you when you dont have access to it
[23:14] <jmworx> Zeek15: yes
[23:14] <seany> MrBL: then acpi  is what you need to debug then
[23:14] <Tredje0ye> Yes, thats true :/ Well, how about this then. Give me a few suggestions, push comes to shove and it doesn't work I'll export dmesg and whatnot to my USB Mp3 player and upload them to my web-server for better clarification
[23:14] <yassine> hi everyone
[23:14] <Starfish> I'm using Gutsy, and I'm having problems
[23:14] <nickrud> Tredje0ye: can you hook up that laptop via ethernet temporarily
[23:14] <Zeek15> jmworx, do u have any other themes then metacity on there?
[23:15] <RMellie> amenado: u treat Tredje0ye better than me, i do the same yet u called me lazy
[23:15] <teo-> where can i find drivers for broadcom corporation netlink bcm5787m wifi ??
[23:15] <Dimitree> how can i see my file system type ?
[23:15] <Starfish> all of my music and movies and such are becoming not music and movies
[23:15] <RMellie> Dimitree fdisk
[23:15] <RMellie> but careful not to write something
[23:15] <Tredje0ye> Unfortunatly it's installed on this computer through dualboot, which makes the whole process of getting support to fix it harder :S
[23:15] <amenado> RMellie-> i will ask him same, he offered to paste it eh? look at what he just said
[23:15] <jmworx> Zeek15: What do you mean "any other themes then metacity"? I don't see a metacity tab or anything...
[23:15] <Dimitree> isn't that for formatting ??? O_O
[23:15] <yassine> my Ubuntu 7.10 freeze in random periods after a kernel upgrade
[23:15] <RMellie> Tredje0ye i hear you, we have the same problem
[23:15] <pinsmack> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55148/  anyone can help me fix this?
[23:16] <yassine> i was not able to find any suspecious logs in syslog

[23:16] <djzn> hi... remember that soundcard Sound Blaster 128 PCI (Creative 5507)? is that soundcard well supported in Linux? Good input and output dB's????
[23:16] <Tredje0ye> Do you think turning on UPnP will help? or would that be friviless?
[23:16] <jmworx> Zeek15: I'm using gnome. It's just that I have Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu (don't ask).
[23:17] <amenado> RMellie-> and Tredje0ye okay boot into liveCD, then  configure your interface,  iwconfig  to see if liveCD detected your wireless, ifconfig if you are using ethernet
[23:17] <Zeek15> jmworx,alright then this in terminal should work sudo gksu /usr/sbin/gdmsetup
[23:17] <cole> hi all im trying to install the latest pidgin from source, when i .configure im getting this: configure: error: The msgfmt command is required to build libpurple. If it is installed on your system, ensure that it is in your path. If it is not, install GNU gettext to continue. If you have msgfmt installed, but for some reason this error message is still displayed, you have encountered what appears to be a bug in third-party configure macros. Try setting the
[23:17] <cole> MSGFMT environment variable to the absolute path to your msgfmt binary and trying configure again, like this: MSGFMT=/path/to/msgfmt ./configure ...
[23:17] <cole> yes checking for msgfmt... no
[23:17] <cole> Error during sources configuration. Installation aborted!. any ideas what this is?
[23:17] <mohbana> does anyone here use eclipse?
[23:17] <natty> hi
[23:17] <mohbana> ive got a huge problem and i am workingon something important
[23:17] <nickrud> Tredje0ye: If you can find somewhere to hook that laptop via a wired connection, this would go much easier
[23:17] <Tredje0ye> *shrug* Ok
[23:17] <Qwexer> I am getting an error "can not open /dev/dsp" when I try to say something with festival...anyone know why?
[23:17] <natty> im a new ubuntu user,and new to linux as well...
[23:17] <amenado> mohbana-> visit #java please
[23:17] <jmworx> Zeek15: I think there's a misunderstanding here :-) So I get greeted by kdm, but when I log in, I get a gnome desktop!
[23:17] <Tredje0ye> Where'd you get the idea I'm on a laptop? o.O
[23:18] <Yanch0> i just plugged in a usb key but got no drive popping on (similar to what does in windows) any idea how I can get it please?
[23:18] <pinsmack> :/
[23:18] <natty> I was wondering why firestarter ,when its turned on,blocks all my connections?
[23:18] <Zeek15> jmworx, wow sounds like u have gnome and kde mixed 2gether
[23:18] <nickrud> Tredje0ye: cuz I hear problems with wired access about once a month :)
[23:18] <jmworx> Zeek15: Note that all this used to work... until I enabled desktop effects
[23:18] <amenado> Tredje0ye-> thats the problem, people do not want to give background history, so we guess, and lots of times we guess wrong without good info
[23:18] <Starnestommy> natty: sounds like a bad firewall setting
[23:18] <natty> hmm....
[23:18] <Zeek15> jmworx, ah ok can u change your session before you login?
[23:18] <Tredje0ye> This is a stationary TCI comp :P With AOpen motherboard and SiS chipset
[23:18] <natty> It doesnt really have any settings...\-:
[23:19] <Zeek15> jmworx, should be able to change in between kde and gnome b4 u login
[23:19] <jmworx> Zeek15: I still want to log in as gnome. I just want the WM to start when I login
[23:19] <Tredje0ye> One sec, lemme see if I can't get some more specific criteria
[23:19] <amenado> Tredje0ye-> umm just having a desktop does not mean one is relagated to wired, am using a desktop but it uses wifi
[23:19] <Kein> Oh, so you want KWin to start up instead of Metacity?
[23:20] <Tredje0ye> I have this crappy ZyDAS wifi USB dongle ^^;; It made my ubuntu crash
[23:20] <Kein> ...or Compiz?
[23:20] <mohbana> how do i bring a process back to memory
[23:20] <amenado> Tredje0ye-> then get a nicer one?  :)
[23:20] <Zeek15> he just turned off compiz and it messed it up
[23:20] <Bodsda> Tredje0ye, thats nice
[23:20] <Bodsda> Zeek15, turn compiz back on?
[23:20] <mohbana> my eclipse closed down and i can no longer see it on the taskbar but its still running because i can see it in the system monitor
[23:20] <Tredje0ye> So I'm guessing wired is the way to go
[23:21] <pinsmack> seriously this is going out of hand
[23:21] <pinsmack> alsamixer
[23:21] <nickrud> KenSentMe: I'm gonna be away for a bit, if that fails try      sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq mfc5860cncupswrapper

[23:22] <amenado> Tredje0ye-> what happens when you were booted to a liveCD?
[23:22] <Starnestommy> shamrock: try replacing * with ./*
[23:22] <pinsmack> Zeek15:  ....what are you talking about?
[23:22] <nickrud> mohbana: then you'll probably have to do    killall eclispe . If you haven't saved recently (or set up autosave) you're gonna lose work

[23:31] <Dr_willis> Valde,  wine by default does not touch, or look for your 'windows' install.
[23:31] <zlaja> so talk in pm
[23:31] <zlaja> lol
[23:31] <Kaelten> whats odd to me though is that its not finding anything, including the NIC
[23:31] <yassine> Pelo: i would but i was not able to find any neither in syslog nor in daemon.log am i missing some places?
[23:31] <Condiment> I'll find out
[23:31] <^punisher> good
[23:31] <Valde> Dr_willis, I'm not installing wine ?
[23:32] <Owleto> I understand xorg.conf contain globally defined config for x. But where per user settings go?

[23:32] <LD> :(((((
[23:32] <chimp> Hey i accidently lost my sound card driver for alsa, i tried purge-remove, then installing all the alsa stuff again but that didnt fix it, is there an automated way for it to detect and install the sound card like it does on ubuntu install?
[23:32] <Dr_willis> Valde,  using wine to run apps off your 'installed' windows drive. often caused issues..   <Valde> Anyone wanna help me install wine but keep the files on my current harddrive....
[23:32] <bod_> zlaja, zlaja im constntly pm'ing you,. reply
[23:32] <jj> Wireless connection problem, under system->network settings Ubuntu sees the wireless eth1. It activates. Under INterface properties however when I put in the connection name the interface doesn't find it.
[23:32] <zlaja> am
[23:32] <zlaja> i need to register?
[23:32] <Dr_willis> Valde,  you now have me totally confused then. :)
[23:32] <Pelo> yassine, what version of ubuntu are you running, how much memory does your computer, have , what cpu , how many active applicatiions do you have running when this happens, does it freeze and you njeed to reboot or does it freeze for a bit and then worksp properly ?
[23:33] <Kaelten> Dell sas 6 host buss mptbios 6.14.10.00
[23:33] <Starnestommy> zlaja: if you want to register, /msg nickserv help register
[23:33] <Valde> Dr_willis, Yea me to I wanna install ubuntu from this live cd but keep my files on the harddrive
[23:33] <seany> Kaelten:  that looks like it's only from dell options are a perc6, or onboard with no raid controller
[23:33] <bod_> !register > zlaja
[23:33] <zlaja> ahm
[23:33] <zlaja> i typed
[23:34] <zlaja>         /msg nickserv help register
[23:34] <bod_> yes?
[23:34] <Tredje0ye> Ok, so here's where I stand: I got a stationary computer, AOpen motherboard, SiS chipset, RealTek ethernet and soundcard, basicly standard stuff that should've worked instantly. I installed Ubuntu using both install discs, desktop and alternate. I've tried all settings in the network manager. Roaming mode, static adress, DHCP, ipv4 zero zone conf (?), ifconfig, ifup, mii-tool (to set 100baseT-FD). The only time I've managed to get on
[23:34] <bod_> zlaja, did you read the message it gave you>
[23:34] <bod_> ?
[23:34] <seany> Kaelten: do the disks show up in the config for the controller?
[23:34] <pinsmack> Zeek15:  you're there?
[23:34] <zlaja> ya
[23:34] <seany> bother...
[23:34] <kavelot> does Ubuntu offers a "video codec pack", like k-lite mega pack for windows?
[23:34] <bod_> zlaja, so youve registered?
[23:34] <zlaja> how
[23:35] <LjL> zlaja, ask in #freenode if it's not clear
[23:35] <Qwexer> ok, rebooted and still getting same error with festival...sigh
[23:35] <Dr_willis> Valde,  you want to resize your existing windows install. to free up some hd space to install ubuntu to.
[23:35] <Pelo> Tredje0ye, you got cut off and try to be a little more brief
[23:35] <bod_> zlaja, read the message ubotu gave you
[23:35] <zlaja> #freenode
[23:35] <tcpdumpgod> Hey guys, for some reason my browser wants to open PHP files on my server when I try to connect to PHP files NOT in the Apache root directory. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
[23:35] <Valde> Dr_willis, Yea
[23:35] <bod_> !register | zlaja
[23:35] <ubotu> zlaja: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about  registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration

[23:35] <Valde> Dr_willis, Dual Boot
[23:35] <Dr_willis> Valde,  vista can do that, or the ubuntu isntaller can do it also.
[23:35] <Pelo> tcpdumpgod, try checking in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[23:35] <Valde> Dr_willis, What must i do though :D
[23:36] <bod_> zlaja, can we not just talk in here?
[23:36] <Owleto> kavelot: yes, pretty easy to install codecs through the installer
[23:36] <Dr_willis> Valde,  or use a live cd with gparted, resize the widnows drive. free up some space at the end - leave it 'unallocated' - and restart the linux installer. and tell it to use the unallocated space.
[23:36] <Tredje0ye> hmm
[23:36] <zlaja> im working on registration wait
[23:36] <Dr_willis> Valde,  the Installer walked you through this I thoght..
[23:36] <root____1> sup guys
[23:36] <yassine> Pelo: CPU : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ MEM 4G, i was running eclipse and FF and pidgin, it freezes and i have had to reboot even when running other application this happens too
[23:36] <Pelo> Tredje0ye, what is the nature of the problem, skip the comp's pedigree for now
[23:36] <timandtom> Can anyone help? For some reason, I can't connect to my network wirelessly if I have WEP enabled(Yet I can connect without WEP, or with an ethernet cord)
[23:36] <root____1> quick Q -- how do I apt-get a newer version of an app than apt knows about
[23:36] <kavelot> Owleto: but can I install them without having the videos that needs the codec I want?
[23:36] <Pelo> yassine, did you install the amd64 version of ubuntu or the i386 version ?
[23:37] <Tredje0ye> Pelo: I can't connect to my network or get online
[23:37] <mgi> hey - I have a problem restoring a deleted partition (using parted) - is there anyone who can help with this? thanks.. already tried #parted
[23:37] <tcpdumpgod> Pelo i've looked around there... but i dont know exactaly what im looking for if you know what I mean.
[23:37] <yassine> Pelo this started to happen only today and the only thing i did today is to upgrade the kernel since it was suggested by the synaptic package manager
[23:37] <LjL> !nickspam > Spence    (Spence, see the private message from Ubotu)
[23:37] <MrSiebel> Does anybody in here have vmware?
[23:37] <tcpdumpgod> Pelo PHP is working, as seen here. http://finehoes.servebeer.com/info.php
[23:37] <root____1> quick Q -- how do I apt-get a newer version of an app than apt knows about ---- thanks, devin
[23:37] <Owleto> kavelot: yes... enable the repos first, then just select what you need
[23:37] <LjL> root____1, the automatic updater will keep you updated to the latest versions of stuff that apt knows about
[23:37] <jj> @TImandtom - is your router setup for WEP?
[23:37] <Pelo> Tredje0ye, I would suggest asking in #networking for the network stuff, and it might depend on how you connect to the internet for the other stuff
[23:37] <kavelot> gonna try, thanks
[23:37] <Dr_willis> MrSiebel,  I imagine a lot of people do. Its very popular
[23:38] <tcpdumpgod> Pelo but if you try to go here: http://finehoes.servebeer.com/torrentflux/
[23:38] <root____1> LjL is there any way to get apt to get a newer version than the one it knows about?
[23:38] <yassine> Pelo: no i installed a x86 distro on the amd64 infrastructure
[23:38] <tcpdumpgod> It tries to open the PHP file.
[23:38] <seany> root_: you'll have to either find a newer deb download it and use dpkg  to install it, or download a tarball and configure it yourself
[23:38] <LjL> root____1: no
[23:38] <timandtom> jj: As of right now, no, because when I do set it up, it won't let me connect to it anymore(even if I get the right password)
[23:38] <Thurin1> If I install Java/JDK, (since JRE will not work) - will that be like JRE + Extras, or is it completely different and has nothing to do with running Java in my browser?
[23:38] <Pelo> yassine, can you boot the previous kernel from the grub boot menu ? try it out , see if the problem still occurs
[23:38] <MrSiebel> Dr_willis I have windowsxp on my system and I would like to install and run vmware on xp and then put feisty fawn on vmware
[23:38] <Pelo> tcpdumpgod,  I don't know anything about this stuff
[23:38] <MrSiebel> I'm having just a bit of trouble
[23:39] <Dr_willis> MrSiebel,  thats doable. theres premade 'vmware appliance' images on the vmware site. that makes it even easier.
[23:39] <root____1> LjL you suck
[23:39] <cole> hi all, can anyone tell me where to go to install GLib 2.0 development headers
[23:39] <Pelo> root____1, please be nice to the helpers
[23:39] <bod_> LjL, how did you request he leave?
[23:40] <Pelo> LjL,  you are no fun,  I was already to convince him you were the best in the world
[23:40] <jj> @Timandtom - it depends on your wireless PC card - some support only the older WEP format, there is the WEP key in interface properties - I assume you've been there?
[23:40] <neverblue> bod_, he runs the channel
[23:40] <bod_> oh your ops,.,.ok
[23:40] <Starnestommy> cole: get libglib2.0-dev
[23:40] <MrSiebel> Dr_Willis I was able to install vmware for xp... now it asks me for a login to a server
[23:40] <mgi> any takers for a parted issue?
[23:40] <LjL> Pelo: was just a kick, you can still try
[23:40] <MrSiebel> What server and do I have to pay for it?
[23:40] <Yanch0> CyberGabber no i dont see it
[23:40] <bod_> bad move shouting at an op,.ha
[23:40] <cole> ohhh ok thanx starnestommy
[23:40] <LjL> bod_: bad move shouting like that at anyone.
[23:41] <bod_> true
[23:41] <yassine> Pelo: the older kernel is no more existing in the /boot/grub/menu.lst i assume that the upgrade removed it
[23:41] <Dr_willis> MrSiebel,  the vmware server is running inthe background. :0 thats how vmware works. Just  hit connect.
[23:41] <mgi> I'll just state the problem and if anyone can help let me know..

[23:41] <Pelo> LjL,  but now "i" no longer beleive it,  you crushed my perfect image of you with your meanness
[23:41] <LjL> ...
[23:41] <Dr_willis> MrSiebel,  its running on 'localhost' :) the machineyou are on. Assuming you Installed the vmwareserver program. Not just the client.
[23:41] <bod_> haha,.,.unluck LjL
[23:41] <nickrud> Pelo: what meanness, LjL just loomed large ;)
[23:41] <mgi> I accidentally deleted a partition, then recreated it successfully using mkpart, then stupidly deleted it again. now when I use mkpart again the filesystem type doesn't come up in 'print' and I can't fsck or mount it.. how can I get this partition back?
[23:41] <mgi> 'rescue' didn't work
[23:42] <jj> /msg nickserv register jj
[23:42] <timandtom> jj: I use the same type of WEP at my dads house. At least, I think so. 26 numbers for the password.
[23:42] <Pelo> yassine, kernel upgrades do not remove the previous kernels just for this purpose,  you can try installing the previous kernels from synaptic, that will atleast give you an option
[23:42] <visualdensity> I'm currently running subversion, with apache2 (dav_sv module). I made some changes to SVN's config file (/etc/subversion/config). My question - do I need to restart SVN? If I do, how do I do that? It's not in the /etc/init.d/ directory
[23:42] <Pelo> nickrud, but must we all get crushed under the weight of his ego ?
[23:42] <MrSiebel> Mr_willis It asks for a hostname username and password?
[23:42] <MrSiebel> Before it will allow me to connect
[23:42] <Pelo> visualdensity,  you might have better luck asking in #apache
[23:43] <Dr_willis> MrSiebel,  it may be time to hit the vmware web site and read its docs.   Ijust hit 'connect' on my setup. It may be you have the vmware client, installed, and dident isntall the full vmwareserver package.
[23:43] <nickrud> Pelo: I think I see what he did in a totally different light. He simply checked the guy with a very effective tactic.
[23:43] <bod_> Pelo, his ego, saved us from the evil of root___1
[23:43] <visualdensity> Pelo: fair enough. ciao. ;)
[23:43] <LjL> now, -> ontopic
[23:43] <jj> TImandtom - did you try System->Administration->Networking->Wireless Connections->Properties then set to hexadecimal and enter the WEP pass?
[23:43] <seany> visualdeception: you might check in ps to see how ti's running

[23:44]  * mgi needs help with partitioning
[23:45] <Pelo> yassine, you should still have the hability to install a pervious version of the kernel from synaptic,  look around for kernel image,  that's the best i can personnaly do for you , it might at least get you working,  until the next kernel update
[23:45] <teo-> seany yes i do
[23:45] <Zeek15> pinsmack, hey sorry my IRC client froze solid u still need help?
[23:45] <pinsmack> i tried restarting to see if the sound problem wil lget fixed
[23:45] <pinsmack> but it didn't
[23:45] <pinsmack> yeah man i still need it
[23:45] <timandtom> jj: Wait, nvm, I just checked what that was, haha. I need it to be in roaming mode, as this is a laptop, so I bring it all over, and connect to a few different networks
[23:45] <yassine> Pelo: many thanks for the suggestions! cheers
[23:45] <wers> what's the best audio cd burner in terms of quality? :D

[23:47]  * mgi really needs help with partitioning
[23:47] <Pelo> mgi,  more details
[23:47] <mgi> I accidentally deleted a partition, then recreated it successfully using mkpart, then stupidly deleted it again. now when I use mkpart again the filesystem type doesn't come up in 'print' and I can't fsck or mount it.. how can I get this partition back?
[23:47] <wers> in terms of quality, what's the best audio cd burning app? :D
[23:48] <pinsmack> Zeek15:  it is already in auto detect...
[23:48] <mgi> ..this is using parted by the way
[23:48] <Zeek15> pinsmack, o ok then change it to Alsa
[23:48] <mgi> and yes, I've asked in #parted
[23:48] <Starnestommy> wers: k3b?

[23:48] <Kaelten> for those that are interested I found the conflict, I had to disable dell's integrated SAS raid system
[23:49] <Kaelten> now ubuntu can see stuff
[23:49] <pinsmack> Zeek15:  nothing is working
[23:49] <Pelo> mgi, I don't know how you would recover the data on it if there is some you need,  I can only suggest you boot the live cd and format the partiton again,   you can also do it from the gparted live cd which you can dl on line
[23:49] <Pelo> gotta go , later folks

[23:52] <pinsmack> yes
[23:52] <CyberGabber> Yanch0: I don't now much about that, but you could check: sudo lshw -C bus   The row with the word 'configuration' should tell if a driver is used.  ( p.s. Is USB enabled in your BIOS ?)
[23:52] <Zeek15> pinsmack, ok wat happened when they stopped working?
[23:52] <Yanch0> yes it is enabled CyberGabber

[23:54] <jorgenpt> hm, envy does a lot of magic. :p
[23:54] <yfk> what can conclude to the fact that any program opens files with spaces normally the exception of mplayer?
[23:54] <jorgenpt> !envy
[23:54] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »

[23:55] <pinsmack> and bod_ i did that also and it isn't working

[23:55] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[23:55] <bruenig> yfk, mplayer opens files with spaces, you just need to make sure that bash is feeding it the full file as a single argument not as a series of space delimited arguments
[23:55] <yfk> when using the Rightclick --> open with
[23:56] <bod_> pinsmack, lspic | grep audio               what do you get?
