[00:00] <Furythor> I was thinking if I could use /workspace and make there subfolders for projects. etc.
[00:00] <EchoedSilence> jeffMASTERflex: the file ends in .iso but is a winRAR archive
[00:00] <Furythor> or should I use /usr/local
[00:00] <EchoedSilence> jeffMASTERflex: That ok?
[00:00] <prince_jammys> Furythor: /usr/local/workspace
[00:00] <Dr_willis> winrar CAN open .iso files - that dosent mean that a .iso is an rar archive
[00:01] <prince_jammys> Furythor: is convention
[00:01] <EchoedSilence> So download it,and mount it to a CD?
[00:01] <Dr_willis> winrar just decided to grab the file assoiucation with iso files.
[00:01] <jeffMASTERflex> EchoedSilence: basically
[00:01] <EchoedSilence> Ah
[00:01] <EchoedSilence> just checking
[00:01] <patti_> hey all, anyone know how to get k3b to burn m4a files?
[00:01] <EchoedSilence> >>
[00:01] <EchoedSilence> thanks guys
[00:02] <Dr_willis> PaTeeLA,  you mean to make a dvd-video disk?
[00:02] <m1r> evening
[00:02] <EchoedSilence> mount the file i get from the DL, or extract it?
[00:02] <MasterMel> how do i instal a tar.gz file?
[00:03] <amenado> MasterMel-> tar.gz files are compressed archives thats all, you have to uncompress them first
[00:03] <Furythor> So I will stick with that /usr/local/workspace
[00:03] <Starfish> I have a problem
[00:03] <Starfish> ReiserFS: md0: warning: Filesystem on md0 cannot be mounted because it is bigger than the device
[00:03] <brian__> MasterMel: tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz
[00:03] <PaTeeLA> Dr_willis: no, it wont burn m4a files to audio disk
[00:03] <Dr_willis> PaTeeLA,  convert it to wave i guess with some other tool.
[00:03] <PaTeeLA> Dr_willis: got it working on other machine, just dont remember what was done... =(
[00:03] <Khisanth> EchoedSilence: you download the iso, use that to burn a cd
[00:03] <M-Nagato> you burn the iso you downloaded, EchoedSilence
[00:03] <Dr_willis> PaTeeLA,  May want toc heck the kubuntu homepage - the faq may mention what packatge you need then.
[00:03] <EchoedSilence> Thanks.
[00:04] <EchoedSilence> One last question before you get fed up and line me up in front of the firing squad
[00:04] <EchoedSilence> use daemon tools?
[00:04] <M-Nagato> daemon tools is used for mounting images, EchoedSilence. you need to burn it to a physical cd
[00:04] <Dr_willis> EchoedSilence,  daemon tools to do what exactly? I missed the initial problem.
[00:04] <Khisanth> I don't recall that having a disk burning option
[00:04] <prince_jammys> Furythor: conventions: /usr/local/bin for custom programs(not from repos) /usr/local/doc , etc (similar to what you see in /usr/share)
[00:05] <Dr_willis> EchoedSilence,  to burn a .iso to cd. I tend to use 'burn at once' or some other tools... under windows.
[00:05] <EchoedSilence> << Vista
[00:05] <Khisanth> Dr_willis: it lets you mount various disk images
[00:05] <MasterMel> brIan__amenado: thx i uncompressed it.. but for what file am i looking for?
[00:05] <Dr_willis> Khisanth,  i know what it does. :) i just dont know what hes wanting to do with it. heh.
[00:05] <grandi> good valentines day! http://www.helsinki.fi/~ptolvane/amb.gif
[00:06] <M-Nagato> Dr_willis, i think he's under the impression that you can install it while in windows like a normal windows application or something like that
[00:06] <EchoedSilence> I wanna find a way to install Ubuntu using the .iso i downloaded offa the website
[00:06] <Khisanth> Dr_willis: misread the "to do" :)
[00:06] <Dr_willis> Ive seen 'others' mistakenly mount .iso files then copy the files to a real cd..  - that WONT work right. :)
[00:06] <Konam> someone knows a good app to convert an OGM with several audio streams to avi (being able to select the audio stream I want in the output file)? I use to have a script for this but I can't find it anymore, if someone can point me to one...
[00:06] <Dr_willis> Konam,  ive used avidmux befor to do that.. with  varying degrees of success. :)
[00:06] <prince_jammys> Konam sounds like avidemux
[00:07] <amenado> MasterMel-> well look around in that uncompressed directory, are there Makefiles? whats the xxx.tar.gz you downloaded?
[00:07] <prince_jammys> Konam avidemux: good app but not the most friendly, try installing
[00:07] <Konam> prince_jammys Dr_willis I tried it but I can't select the audio output
[00:07] <Tailsfan> !phpBB on Ubuntu
[00:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about phpbb on ubuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:07] <Furythor> Yeah well, this goes for offtopic but finnish high quality education system should give heavy asskick for swedish oldtimers and change swedish to be optional in schools... I mean who really needs it could study it, why to torment everyone with it, I have never needed it nor used it .... :C
[00:07] <MasterMel> amenado: its the elisa.0.3.3.tar.gz file
[00:07] <Furythor> >AFK
[00:07] <M-Nagato> EchoedSilence, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[00:08] <EchoedSilence> thanks M-Nagato
[00:08] <prince_jammys> Konam thats the not friendly part -- i think there's a basic tutorial out there in the internet
[00:08] <amenado> MasterMel is it a source file? whats the content after you have uncompressed it?
[00:08] <Khisanth> Konam: ogmdemux
[00:08] <Jack_Sparrow> MasterMel: What is in that version that is not in the one from our repos
[00:08] <zeroman9> hey
[00:09] <icesword> ....
[00:09] <MasterMel> amenado: a couple of files and folders
[00:09] <mutable> hello, does anybody use Claws Mail? It creates mailbox folders in $HOME, is there any way to change the location? I cannot find anything in gui settings nor in google results.
[00:09] <EchoedSilence> brb guys
[00:09] <EchoedSilence> prolly be back later
[00:09] <EchoedSilence> thanks
[00:09] <MasterMel> jack_sparrow:  in the repos we still have the 0.3.2 version.. and on the site they already have the 0.33. version
[00:09] <Tailsfan> Is there anyway of running a phpBB Board on Ubuntu?
[00:09] <amenado> MasterMel-> we can be here all night guessing.., care to elaborate whats on it?
[00:10] <nickrud> !find phpbb | Tailsfan
[00:10] <ubotu> tailsfan: Found: phpbb2, phpbb2-conf-mysql, phpbb2-languages
[00:10] <orei> how can I view a txt file in non-wrapped mode
[00:10] <Tailsfan> Are those Packages in Synaptic?
[00:10] <orei> I dont want line wrapping
[00:10] <nickrud> Tailsfan: yes, that find searches the package listes
[00:10] <jeffMASTERflex> orei: in nano. nano should have wrapping off by default
[00:10] <prince_jammys> Tailsfan: checked, yes
[00:10] <Tailsfan> no hope for 3 I guess

[00:11] <tlee> I'm having problems installing 7.10 on my PC
[00:11] <MasterMel> amenado: its the elisa media center.
[00:11] <prince_jammys> Tailsfan: 3rd is there also
[00:11] <tlee> Im getting a msg: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000:00:14.0
[00:11] <tlee> does anybody know of a way around this?
[00:11] <prince_jammys> Tailsfan: apt-cache search phpbb2
[00:11] <MasterMel> amenado: or do you want to know what kinda files there are>?
[00:11] <Tailsfan> Cool, installing it on VBOx
[00:11] <amenado> MasterMel-> yes..
[00:12] <hfmls> oi
[00:12] <hfmls> algurm por ai
[00:12] <orei> jeffMASTERflex, thanks, where does nano show the column number or line number, i cant see it
[00:12] <hfmls> hi
[00:12] <amenado> MasterMel-> if there is a Makefile, then type  make; sudo make install
[00:13] <lwizardl> help I just updated and my system crashed now I'm getting kernel panic how do i fix this. i'm using a live cd right now
[00:13] <nickrud> prince_jammys: I don't see phpbb3 in there, where do you see it?
[00:13] <MasterMel> amenado:  ok thnx i will try
[00:13] <MatBoy> Hey guys, I have a LinuxEBDA is big issue and after I closed my PC, I also upgraded to a Q6600... what shall I do ? Install AMD64 version without formatting but overriding all files ?
[00:13] <wng-> orei, use Ctrl+C to see current position
[00:13] <prince_jammys> nickrrud i didn't --  i thought when said "not for 3" that he meant the third file, lol
[00:14] <orei> wng-, thanks :)
[00:14] <amenado> lwizardl-> what error were you getting when it crashed? duing update it crashed? or at reboot? what were you doing to crash it?
[00:14] <nickrud> prince_jammys: heh. brain fart, I've been sooo guilty :)
[00:14] <prince_jammys> nickrud: :)
[00:15] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: Congrats.. for the promotion
[00:15] <Tailsfan> Cool, Thanks, I'll install Ubuntu on Vbox and run it from there
[00:15] <patogen> jeffMASTERflex: Thank you. Got mpd up and running now and it works nice, found one client that seems fine also :)
[00:15] <lwizardl> amenado: during update
[00:15] <MatBoy> btw, can I boot with "Linux Rescue" from a Ubuntu CD ?
[00:15] <MatBoy> the xubuntu CD does not seem to have that option
[00:16] <hfmls> hi
[00:16] <hfmls> i formated a partition with gparted,ext3
[00:16] <lwizardl> amenado: I was doing a update while reading my emails on gmail
[00:16] <hfmls> but i cant write there... what can i do? :S
[00:16] <wng-> orei, use Ctrl+C to see current position
[00:17] <orei> wng-, got it, thanks
[00:17] <macogw> hfmls: is the partition mounted?
[00:17] <telexicon> Is there a reason I should be only getting 1MB/s with my Intel 3945 wireless 15 feet away from the access point?
[00:17] <hfmls> macogw:  yes
[00:17] <wng-> When I installed 7.10, my speaker output on my laptop is not recognized, I know it worked when i installed 6.10 on it awhile ago, anyone have any ideas?
[00:18] <macogw> hfmls: can you write to it as root?
[00:18] <Jack_Sparrow> hfmls: It will be a permissions issue
[00:18] <macogw> telexicon: 1MB/s is fast
[00:18] <hfmls> i can
[00:18] <hfmls> how can i change permissions
[00:18] <macogw> telexicon: but a reason aside from your card would be the speed of the server from which you're downloading
[00:18] <neverblue> hfmls, chmod/chown
[00:19] <telexicon> macogw, the internet is not involved here.. this is a file transfer to a machine on the same LAN
[00:19] <Dr_willis> hfmls,  to let a user wroite to it - i normally make a directory for the user, and chown THAT dir to be owned by the user.
[00:19] <N3bunel> lwizardl : try to run " fsck " ass root to fix the problem
[00:19] <telexicon> macogw, i should be getting like 5MB/s
[00:19] <macogw> telexicon: oh.  what are the limits on your router? is it 10/100 or is it 10/100/1000? you cant get over 1Mib/s without 1000
[00:19] <Dr_willis> hfmls,  true the user dosent have full access to the root of the disk. but they got their own dir. I normally link to their home dir or elsewere
[00:19] <telexicon> macogw, check please
[00:20] <red_one> i want to use an ISO image of the livecd as a package source - how do i do this?
[00:20] <hfmls> i want to use deluge with that partition, so downloads go there.
[00:20] <hfmls> what should i do?
[00:20] <macogw> telexicon: can you get more than that using a different OS wirelessly?  i know wireless has a lower limit than wired, just from the perspective of "that's how 802.11 works"
[00:20] <hfmls> shouldn't permissions be ok? :S
[00:20] <Dr_willis> hfmls,   make a dir. chown it to be owned by the user. the user will then have full access to that dir.
[00:20] <macogw> hfmls: is that partition going to be always mounted?
[00:21] <Dr_willis> is the easy way. :)
[00:21] <telexicon> macogw, as in.. id like to go to another restaurant now
[00:21] <prince_jammys> hfmls: you can change the permissions in fstab also
[00:21] <macogw> telexicon: what?
[00:21] <neverblue> lol
[00:21] <I440r> hi. im doing an ubuntu installation from within a gentoo system using debootstrap to an external usb drive.  i just spent THREE DAYS trying to do the same thing with debian but after the install i could not get it to boot
[00:21] <telexicon> because i know 802.11g is supposed to get 54Mbit, and I am the only one using this access point
[00:21] <I440r> no matter what i tried in the kernel
[00:21] <I440r> none of the canned kernels worked and none of the kernels i built worked
[00:21] <none> telexicon: for every frame, the media is sending 3 frames ... if it's to another wireless machine, the collision rate is big.
[00:21] <hfmls> macogw:  yes
[00:22] <macogw> telexicon: oh ok.  i dont know what the limits are *shrug* it was just a guess
[00:22] <macogw> hfmls: ok then lets add it to /etc/fstab
[00:22] <none> telexicon: 54Mbit/s is a joke ... nobody gets that performance
[00:22] <macogw> hfmls: open /etc/fstab as root
[00:22] <telexicon> none, thats fair but it should at least go half that
[00:22] <telexicon> none, i know i can get 2MB or 3MB
[00:22] <I440r> im in a very serious bind here, i cant even begin to say how frustrated i am but i have to have either debian (which i abandoned 8 years ago or so) or ubuntu
[00:22] <macogw> hfmls: if you know how to use vim or nano "sudo vim /etc/fstab" or "sudo nano /etc/fstab" otherwise "gksu gedit /etc/fstab"
[00:23] <none> telexicon: how do you measure?
[00:23] <none> telexicon: and how is the setup?
[00:23] <I440r> and it HAS to support ipw3945 anhd it has to be bootable from an external usb drive out of the box
[00:23] <amenado> I440r-> you tried downloading liveCd ?
[00:23] <none> telexicon: half of what? 54Mbit?
[00:23] <I440r> its downloading NOW. its going to take about 3 hours
[00:23] <macogw> I440r: well ive booted ubuntu from an external hard drive on my laptop that has ipw3945 before...
[00:24] <hfmls> ok, i have fstab opened as root
[00:24] <I440r> i have to have this system installed, up and running, and the moblin image creator working and a whole new camera driver working by friday
[00:24] <telexicon> none, i guess ill see how it goes
[00:24] <I440r> ive been fighting this crap for 3 days. i need the fastest possible solution and i think debootstrap is it
[00:24] <macogw> hfmls: ok. add a line, probably just above the CD one, I'd say, and we're going to put that disk into the file
[00:24] <Cafesolo> hello everyone
[00:24] <macogw> hfmls: you know the device name right? /dev/sdb2 or whatever it is?  that goes first
[00:24] <I440r> mac thats good to know but i dont think i can use the live cd to do this but im willing to try ANYTHING
[00:25] <I440r> like i said, its downloading now
[00:25] <hfmls> its disk
[00:25] <Konam> ok, thanks, avidemux will do the trick, I just have to select the audio stream I want in audio--->main track.
[00:25] <amenado> I440r-> what format did you have for the external USB drive?
[00:25] <I440r> ext3
[00:25] <macogw> hfmls: i know the others are shown as their UUIDs, but either works.  it's disk?  you mean the mount point is /media/disk?  that's now what i'm talking about right now. i mean the actual device/partition number
[00:25] <Cafesolo> I have a friend whose windows computer stopped booting. I was thinking about going to his house and boot ubuntu from a live cd so I could mount the windows partition and make backups of everything
[00:25] <I440r> if thats what u meant
[00:25] <lulzturtle> Hi everyone! :) Does anyone know a way for me to scan my network for open ports? Is there any tools included with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon that can do this? I'm a noob.
[00:25] <Cafesolo> the problem is that I'd need to burn some dvds
[00:25] <Cafesolo> so the question is
[00:26] <hfmls> macogw:  yes
[00:26] <Cafesolo> can I still run ubuntu if I remove the live cd?
[00:26] <I440r> the problem was that none of the canned debian kernels would succesfully boot to it. the kernel would load, expand, go thru some crap and FREEZE
[00:26] <macogw> hfmls: do you know what the device label is?  if not, you can type "mount" and itll list what's mounted to tell you
[00:26] <macogw> Cafesolo: no
[00:26] <mkquist__> Cafesolo: no i dont think so
[00:26] <macogw> Cafesolo: you can make a boot flash drive though
[00:26] <I440r> i spend all day today doing kernel compile after kernel compile to try to get it to boot
[00:26] <Flannel> Cafesolo: Does he not have two optical drives?  Try a USB to boot from
[00:26] <hfmls> yes its disk
[00:26] <Cafesolo> installing ubuntu is not an option since he doesn't have a free partition
[00:27] <mkquist__> Cafesolo:  there must not be two optical drives then..
[00:27] <pike_> !wubi | Cafesolo possibly
[00:27] <ubotu> Cafesolo possibly: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[00:27] <hfmls> macogw:  i want to access this partition from windows too, can u tell mhow to format to ntfs instead? cuz i know how to read write ntfs in ubuntu.
[00:27] <macogw> hfmls: that really doesn't sound right.  the first disk is /dev/sda and the second is /dev/sdb and the third is /dev/sdc and the first partition on the first disk is /dev/sda1 and the second on first disk is /dev/sda2 etc.  can you just paste the output of "mount" on http://pastebin.ca and link me to it?
[00:28] <amenado> I440r-> if you were using initrd from liveCD i think you have to use squashfs
[00:28] <macogw> hfmls: vista or xp?  there xp drivers for using ext2/3
[00:28] <orangesicle> question: i am trying to reinstall my vista partition because it seems to have become corrupt.  i want to create a separate partition that both vista and ubuntu can read/write for my music/movies.  what type of partition can be read/written by both operating systems?
[00:28] <hfmls> xp
[00:28] <lulzturtle> Hi everyone! :) Does anyone know a way for me to scan my network for open ports? Is there any tools included with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon that can do this? I'm a noob.
[00:28] <hfmls> but i rather use ntfs
[00:28] <compu73rg33k> okay so I have a maxtor harddrive, sda1 is a 500MB ext3 formatted partition, but no files on it
[00:28] <amenado> lulzturtle-> type  sudo lsof -i
[00:28] <macogw> pike_: thatd require that windows be bootable
[00:28] <lulzturtle> amenado: thanks :)
[00:28] <pike_> lulzturtle: nmap is handy for that nmap-fe is a decent gui front end
[00:29] <macogw> hfmls: umm ok can gparted not do ntfs?
[00:29] <hfmls> no it can't :S
[00:29] <mneptok> hfmls: use ext3 for sharing between Windows and Linux
[00:29] <hfmls> its "ghosted"
[00:29] <prince_jammys> hfmls,macogw:  gparted can do ntfs
[00:30] <compu73rg33k> okay so I have a maxtor harddrive, sda1 is a 500MB ext3 formatted partition, but no files on it. sda2 is a 183 GB encrypted partition. When I boot the computer with only the maxtor harddrive, it's recognized. when I boot the computer with another harddrive in, the maxtor harddrive fails to be recognized at all. I've tried all jumper settings. Is there something else that could be preventing this harddrive from being recognized?
[00:30] <mneptok> hfmls: ext3 is a nore reslient FS, and is open. those are some nice advantages. ;)  -  http://fs-driver.org
[00:30] <hfmls> it seems that it can, but its ghost the text.i can't choose it.
[00:30] <orangesicle> ext3 is able to be read/written by vista?
[00:30] <macogw> orangesicle: no, but xp can
[00:30] <musikgoat> orangesicle: no
[00:30] <prince_jammys> hfmls,macogw: from live cd?
[00:30] <hfmls> mneptok:  but i'm new to ubuntu
[00:30] <hfmls> no
[00:30] <shadowvice> Hey when the LTS server edition be out?
[00:30] <macogw> prince_jammys: i dont know. i dont use ntfs
[00:31] <macogw> shadowvice: april
[00:31] <amenado> I440r-> http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-live-cd-p2
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> shadowvice: 08-04
[00:31] <mneptok> hfmls: you want to share data between Windows and Linux, yes?
[00:31] <hfmls> it's wsay for me to se ntfs and go to synaptic and install ntfs support
[00:31] <macogw> shadowvice: server and desktop are released at the same time
[00:31] <prince_jammys> macogw no, i was saying i know that i does do ntfs
[00:31] <orangesicle> is there any partition type that can be read by both vista and ubuntu?
[00:31] <musikgoat> macogw: but is that confirmed to be LTS?
[00:31] <hfmls> and use it to x360 with media player.
[00:31] <hfmls> so i would want to format it in ntfs. :S
[00:31] <amenado> orangesicle-> vfat ? or fat maybe?
[00:31] <M-Nagato> orangesicle, fat32 maybe?
[00:31] <prince_jammys> mneptok:  windows can't see ext3
[00:31] <shadowvice> and updating a server from one version to another... is there any issues with that that I should watch out for?
[00:32] <macogw> hfmls: either way, if you want it to automount the partition as writable for you, you're going to need to put the partition into /etc/fstab, so i dont see how ntfs would help any (other than making it so that i don't know what the available options are for adding it to fstab)
[00:32] <Dr_willis> !ext2
[00:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:32] <Dr_willis> !ext3
[00:32] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[00:32] <mneptok> prince_jammys: it can with a driver
[00:32] <Dr_willis> With the proper driver - windows CAN read/write ext2/3
[00:32] <mneptok> hfmls: in that case, use FAT32
[00:32] <pike_> orangesicle: fat32 is the standard. solaris bsds linux windows macos all read it
[00:32] <pike_> orangesicle: generally
[00:32] <hfmls> i would
[00:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Dr_willis: ext2ifs
[00:32] <hfmls> but i't use 4gbup
[00:32] <hfmls> files
[00:32] <hfmls> i can't *
[00:32] <pike_> the 4 gig limit on files these days is a pain
[00:32] <orangesicle> thank you all! i'll work on finding those drivers for vista.
[00:32] <hfmls> yeah
[00:33] <danielski_pl> how do i view running tasks in terminal in order to kill a corresponding task?
[00:33] <mneptok> danielski_pl: top/htop
[00:33] <john_> ok i have a stupid question....I am using teamspeak 2 and I got my sound to work no prob...I am using logitec headset...and for some reason the mic is not working
[00:33] <macogw> shadowvice: currently, upgrades are only supported from one version to the one right after it.  skipping is not supported.  for LTS's, there is work being done to make it possible to smoothly go from one LTS to the next, skipping what's in between (probably involves it doing a bunch of extra checks regarding configuration files and software versions)
[00:33] <amenado> danielski_pl->  ps aux
[00:33] <pike_> danielski_pl: ps -a  or ps aux is nicely formatted
[00:33] <prince_jammys> hfmls: if you want ntfs or vfat, burn the gparted live cd, boot from the cd and change it... then come back and we'll help you wrap it up in fstab
[00:33] <pike_> danielski_pl: er.. ps -A
[00:34] <prince_jammys> hfmls: vfat will work for sharing between linux and windows
[00:34] <hfmls> prince_jammys:  but i used to use a something i installed via synaptic that mounted ntfs and gave access to read write ntfs. and just worked, i've installed
[00:34] <hfmls> is that the only way to format in ntfs ?
[00:34] <compu73rg33k> hmm anyone have a clue for me?
[00:35] <hfmls> but i dont want just that. i want ntfs because i need to use wmp and x360
[00:35] <compu73rg33k> the other thing was that it ran fine as a slave drive when I didn't have any encryption on it
[00:35] <danielski_pl> gnome says i still have an open firefox window yet... i dont c one, how do i go about killing it
[00:35] <prince_jammys> hfmls: yes, but the only problem is you don't have an ntfs partition yet - so you have to make it first
[00:35] <hfmls> lol i know
[00:35] <emma> Does ubuntu have a multi monitor switching utility?
[00:35] <hfmls> i'm saking if i can doit vi aubuntu
[00:35] <hfmls> via*
[00:36] <Dr_willis> emma,  nvidia drivers include somt tools if ysing nvidia cards. :)
[00:36] <prince_jammys> hfmls: try again after unmounting the partition.
[00:36] <hfmls> ok
[00:37] <prince_jammys> hfmls: there is no data in this partition, right?
[00:37] <compu73rg33k> danielski_pl: start terminal and type killall firefox-bin
[00:37] <hfmls> right
[00:37] <Picachoo> where can i get quality top famouse games that work in linux? or can be run fine with wine?
[00:37] <danielski_pl> compu73gr33k: do i have to sudo?
[00:37] <compu73rg33k> shoudln't, but if it complains then use it
[00:37] <Dr_willis> Picachoo,  I hear Savage2 is comming out soon - it has a native linux client. :)
[00:38] <Dr_willis> Picachoo,  it may be out allready.
[00:38] <danielski_pl> compu73gr33k:  thanx it worked :P
[00:38] <Dr_willis> !games | Picachoo
[00:38] <ubotu> Picachoo: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[00:38] <wng-> When I installed 7.10, my speaker output on my laptop is not recognized, I know it worked when i installed 6.10 on it awhile ago, anyone have any ideas?
[00:38] <NigelS_> Dr_willis: awesome game is s2, however to quoth the devs:"our opengl render guy has gone AWOL" so the linux client is delayed atm :(
[00:39] <Picachoo> Dr_willis IC.  whats your fav games
[00:39] <shadowvice> So by building a 7.10 server in the next few days and then updating to the next release within a small amount of time should be painless?
[00:39] <john_> if anyone can help with a small teamspeak difficulty a private message would be greatly appreciated
[00:39] <I440r> ok so whats the joe editor called in ubuntu
[00:39] <Dr_willis> NigelS_,  Bummer. I been meaning to buy the game. But havent  seen it in stores yet.
[00:39] <I440r> and i assume to install things you do "apt-get" ?
[00:39] <iratik> I've lost my window decorations (the title bars and borders) , I installed the "Advanced Desktop Settings Manager" ... and made sure window decorations are checked ......... Still no window deocrations.... what can I do?
[00:40] <Dr_willis> Picachoo,  lots of neat GPL games out for Linux, (and ported to windows also)  'rocksndiamonds' is a MUST get. :)
[00:40] <sleek> i put an ftp://... into my /etc/apt/source.list but it doesn't seem to work ... is there a way to get apt to recognize ftp sites?
[00:40] <Dr_willis> !info rocksndiamonds
[00:40] <I440r> cant find joe at all. is it even IN ubuntu
[00:40] <ubotu> rocksndiamonds (source: rocksndiamonds): Arcade style game. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 3.2.3-3 (gutsy), package size 384 kB, installed size 1256 kB
[00:40] <NigelS_> Dr_willis: I'm not sure you will, S2games have been keen to pioneer new methods of distribution - so you can download the full game and play (in windows) for 5 hours then you can opt to buy - if you want physical media, artwork and a guide you can pay $15 extra for the collectors edition though that hasn't shipped yet
[00:40] <wng-> I440r,
[00:40] <wng-> I440r, 'sudo apt-get install joe' then the command is 'joe'
[00:41] <I440r> nope
[00:41] <I440r> wng it cannot find any package named joe
[00:41] <prince_jammys> lol
[00:41] <I440r> do i have something missing from my sources.list?
[00:41] <Dr_willis> NigelS_,  most likely - after 5 hrs i wouldent want to play any more either. Heh heh .. Been getting most of my games from STEAM on windows lately
[00:41] <wng-> I440r, possibly, though mine is default from installation
[00:41] <wng-> I440r, pastebin yours
[00:41] <Picachoo> Dr_willis any more
[00:41] <Jack_Sparrow> iratik: I think it is something like compiz --replace  but ask in #Compiz
[00:42] <I440r> its one line why pastebin?
[00:42] <I440r> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main
[00:42] <wng-> your sources.list is one line?
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !find joe
[00:42] <ubotu> Found: joe
[00:42] <I440r> thats my entire sources.list
[00:42] <Dr_willis> Picachoo,  check the packatge manager for games.. thers dozens of them. The 'Linux game tome' has info on others.
[00:42] <iratik> thanks jack sparrow
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:42] <Dr_willis> Picachoo,  depends omn what kind of games you like. Theres also dozens of 'emulators' for other systems
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !info joe
[00:42] <Picachoo> Dr_willis will i have to get special gaming joysticks compatible with linux?
[00:42] <ubotu> joe (source: joe): user friendly full screen text editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5-1.1 (gutsy), package size 357 kB, installed size 1148 kB
[00:42] <icesword> hi
[00:42] <NigelS_> Dr_willis: yeah, I quite like steam as a platform - sort of anaologous to a closed source repo model I guess; S2 is pretty addictive, the demo has a few restrictions - i.e. you can't spawn as hellbourne and have a longer respawn time, nor can you command
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> I440r: Enable universe
[00:43] <Dr_willis> Picachoo,  special?  Never needed any special ones. of course I cant thinkof any games that need joysticks these days
[00:43] <Picachoo> Dr_willis emulators like virtual box and vmware?
[00:43] <I440r> ?
[00:43] <wng-> I440r, try using this website: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ to generate a sources.list
[00:43] <I440r> Jack_Sparrow, say again in english?
[00:43] <Picachoo> Dr_willis what do you mean by emulators?
[00:43] <wng-> oops
[00:43] <NigelS_> Picachoo: ET:quakewars, quake3, ut2k4, doom3 - these have native linux clients
[00:43] <Dr_willis> Picachoo,  no ' console emulators' like the SNES, NES, PS1 and PS2
[00:43] <wng-> I440r, sorry, that links dead
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> I440r: system-admin-software sources
[00:43] <icesword> i have a stupid question that is it reasonable to pay if i want to marry someone's daughter
[00:43] <Dr_willis> Never Winters Night - also has a Linux client.
[00:44] <I440r> jack. is that some command im supposed to type in?
[00:44] <NigelS_> ah yes :)
[00:44] <Picachoo> NigelS_ but if i use wine. joysticks wont work?
[00:44] <NigelS_> and tribes 2(the best game ever) :)
[00:44] <Jack_Sparrow> I440r: Click on...system...admin...etc
[00:44] <icesword> i have a stupid question that is it reasonable to pay if i want to marry someone's daughter
[00:44] <Picachoo> Dr_willis what use do they have?
[00:44] <I440r> erm
[00:44] <I440r> im not in a live cd
[00:44] <I440r> im in gentoo
[00:44] <I440r> inside a chroot
[00:44] <Dr_willis> Picachoo,  they play the games for the systems they emulate. :)
[00:44] <gouki> What are the possible locations for a startup to be? I've searched all the ones I know but can't find the script which is getting started at boot time (and I don't want him to).
[00:44] <I440r> with feisty base installed and nnothing else
[00:44] <starked> Does anyone here know the different options for vga=XXX in GRUB, or have a link to a (comprehensive) list of them?
[00:44] <putnum> ice: is she hot?
[00:44] <gouki> *startup fole
[00:45] <NigelS_> Picachoo: joysticks should work if your joystick controlled is supported which is most prob is, however I wouldn't warrant than any special features of said joystick that depend on windows software will work
[00:45] <gouki> *file
[00:45] <icesword> i have a stupid question that is it reasonable to pay if i want to marry someone's daughter
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> I440r: I assume you have sudo rights?
[00:45] <NigelS_> Picachoo: your best bet if you are concerned is to google the model and linux to see what other's experiences have been
[00:45] <putnum> troll
[00:45] <DIL_> is she ugly
[00:45] <icesword> anyone is going repond to me

[00:46] <icesword> and sorry
[00:46] <icesword> ok
[00:46] <NigelS_> starked: vga= etc are kernel options, google for them

[00:46] <kbrooks> i use ipv4 atm and i want to use ipv6, how to?
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> I440r: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list    remove the # in front of universe
[00:47] <icesword> prince_jammys, do you know any channnel i can talk these>?descuss
[00:47] <PriceChild> kbrooks, ubuntu is set up for ipv6, just get your network sorted.
[00:47] <icesword> discuss
[00:47] <kbrooks> PriceChild, how
[00:47] <dogmeat> how can i disable automatic updates?
[00:47] <wng-> Jack_Sparrow, he said his sources.list was one line
[00:47] <prince_jammys> icesword: #daughter4sale
[00:47] <PriceChild> kbrooks, ipv6 compatible router, isp etc.
[00:47] <icesword> prince_jammys, hehe
[00:47] <icesword> :)
[00:47] <starked> NigelS_:Thanks, looks like that was the hint I needed to actually find some answers (didn't realize they were kernel options, thought they were just for the boot loader).  Off to see what I can do.
[00:47] <xthegoat121x> evening all
[00:48] <DIL_> do you know a guy name Borat
[00:48] <kbrooks> PriceChild, i am connected direct to my cable modem
[00:48] <john_> um, has anyone ever used teamspeak?
[00:48] <I440r> pasted in the one for feisty as thats what i debootstrappeed.  doing apt-get update (i think i remember thats what you do)
[00:48] <dogmeat> DIL_, yes
[00:48] <NigelS_> starked: yep, I suspected as much - if you'd been searching for grub options you wouldn't have gotten far
[00:48] <PriceChild> kbrooks, which probably isn't ipv6 compatible, nor your isp
[00:48] <wng-> I440r, yep, apt-get update, then apt-get install joe should work
[00:48] <rafael__> hi
[00:48] <NigelS_> john_: yes
[00:48] <kbrooks> PriceChild, really?
[00:48] <thezanke> what is the best and most flexible cross-platform programming language that can run nativly in both linux and windows
[00:48] <DIL_> dogmeat: talkin to icesword
[00:48] <I440r> ya
[00:49] <rafael__> where ubuntu free
[00:49] <icesword> DIL_, why
[00:49] <dogmeat> DIL_, is Borat a legit kazakstanee name?
[00:49] <PriceChild> kbrooks, the ipv6 rollout is only just beginning.

[00:50] <wng-> When I installed 7.10, my speaker output on my laptop is not recognized, I know it worked when i installed 6.10 on it awhile ago, anyone have any ideas?
[00:50] <PriceChild> I440r, not intended for you sorry.
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> I440r: Does that answer your question on how to get joe?
[00:50] <NigelS_> john_: mic is usually muted by default iirc, have you tried alsamixer from the cmdline or the gnome vol control to correct?
[00:50] <dogmeat> PriceChild, if you can't actually get an Ubuntu question answered here, not sure what there is to talk about
[00:50] <patogen> How come when I want to install awesome it says I don't have libc6? If I try to install libc6 it says I have the latest version
[00:50] <I440r> lol i got joe but being able to get ubunto booted is my prime objective here...
[00:50] <PriceChild> dogmeat, its a good thing you can get questins answered then. No more offtopic chatter.
[00:51] <I440r> lol i was being humorous with the "your good to go" being debateable
[00:51] <icesword> yeah
[00:51] <Jack_Sparrow> I440r: :)
[00:51] <john_> yes...it's unmuted and put to highest volume
[00:51] <bytecolor> why are my environment vars different if I run gnome-terminal with and without the -x option?
[00:51] <I440r> what are the linux kernel packages called? and is there one that will support ipw3945 out of the box and be able to boot form an external usb hard drive?
[00:52] <PriceChild> I440r, the standard ones will.
[00:52] <john_> i have a couple of options in sound preferences to choose from though
[00:52] <wng-> I440r, linux-image is the name of the packages, im not sure on the second part though
[00:52] <NigelS_> patogen: where did you get the package from?
[00:52] <Pelo> I440r, kernel image
[00:52] <bytecolor> "gnome-terminal" reads my .bashrc, "gnome-terminal -x vim" does not
[00:52] <dogmeat> PriceChild, ive never actually had an answer to any ubuntu related question i asked
[00:52] <putnum> how can i get ubuntu to log out after so many minutes?
[00:52] <simmerz> can i get the current running kernel config from the stock image? or does it not provide something like /proc/config.gz?
[00:52] <I440r> PriceChild, the standard debian one didnt
[00:52] <patogen> NigelS_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/, it was in the hardy part ... I'm running gutsy however ...
[00:52] <PriceChild> I440r, this is #ubuntu.
[00:52] <dogmeat> PriceChild, i have been asked to go elsewhere when asking ubuntu questions on channel #debian
[00:52] <NigelS_> patogen: well there you go
[00:52] <PriceChild> dogmeat, a pity.
[00:52] <Pelo> dogmeat, join the club, I never get help in this channel,  usualy because I am busy giving it ,  what was your question
[00:52] <amenado> simmerz-> look in  /boot/config.xxx.x.x.
[00:52] <NigelS_> patogen: the pkg is not configured for your system
[00:53] <telexicon> macogw, ok, i didnt see what the issue was
[00:53] <bytecolor> ubuntu isn't debian, it only looks, smells, tastes and feels like debian ;)
[00:53] <bytecolor> but it's not debian...
[00:53] <Pelo> bytecolor, it is based on debian
[00:53] <chubs_> bytecolor: well, it is debian
[00:54] <NigelS_> simmerz: the stock kernel doesn't provide config.gz afaik - though if you checkout the actual dev package you can see the config file
[00:54] <patogen> NigelS_: Well does hardy use other versions of libc6 or what?
[00:54] <Photocopy> This is the fourth time I've tried to install ubuntu. Each time, it hangs at scanning mirror configuring apt.

[00:54] <PriceChild> Photocopy, unplug the network cable
[00:54] <amenado> NigelS_-> its in /boot/config-`uname -r`
[00:54] <I440r> ok, thats too confusing. which linux-image would you guys suggest?
[00:54] <PriceChild> I440r, the default one.
[00:54] <Photocopy> PriceChild: Why? And no.
[00:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Photocopy: try it next time with the network cable unplugged
[00:54] <Pelo> I440r,  -generic
[00:54] <I440r> what is the default one. how do i apt-get linux-image-default ?
[00:55] <I440r> generic
[00:55] <zwox> salut tout le monde
[00:55] <PriceChild> Photocopy, because its not able to use your network properly for some reason. Unplug it and it will give up and just continue.

[00:55] <dave> hello all......is there a way to do a forced reinstall of the OS via the command-line.....Im getting app freezes and segfaults
[00:55] <Pelo> I440r, do you have the gui ?  use synaptic , menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager
[00:55] <PriceChild> I440r, you have it installed?!
[00:55] <Photocopy> Jack_Sparrow; is it too late to unplug the network cable now and start the installation? It just booted off CD, its not hanging right now, im not that far yet
[00:55] <john_> NigelS_: everything is un-muted...i do have a few option in the sound preferences
[00:55] <amenado> Photocopy-> not too late, unplugged the ethernet cable
[00:55] <I440r> price?
[00:56] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[00:56] <PriceChild> I440r, it is installed by default
[00:56] <I440r> i have the base system installed via debootstrap
[00:56] <I440r> i have nothing in /boot at all
[00:56] <Pelo> dave,  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will reinstall everyting gui related and the apps,  not sure which meta package handels the backend stuff,  possibly ubuntu-minimal
[00:56] <zwox> ho sorry
[00:56] <zwox> my mistake
[00:56] <PriceChild> I440r, any reason for not doing a normal install?
[00:56] <dave> thx pelo
[00:57] <NigelS_> john_: forgetting about TS, can you get the mic working at all - if you try to record sound from it just in linux?
[00:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Photocopy: It may not be the answer, but if it is hanging on accessing the mirror, it should go past that if it has no connection.. that is the hope anyhow
[00:57] <I440r> limited time. and i mean SEVERELY limited.
[00:57] <icesword> PriceChild, what abnormal
[00:57] <I440r> but im downloading the iso now too
[00:57] <PriceChild> I440r, much quicker to download alternate cd and do it...
[00:57] <Pelo> I440r,  normal install is 30 min
[00:57] <PriceChild> icesword, pardon?
[00:57] <I440r> PriceChild, alternate cd?
[00:58] <PriceChild> I440r, just use whatever cd you're downloading.
[00:58] <I440r> it assumes i have the CD downloaded. tahts going to take 3 hours with this image :(
[00:58] <john_> NigelS_: Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings. I guess I can't record at all
[00:58] <icesword> PriceChild, you said any reason for doing a not normal install]
[00:58] <I440r> ya
[00:58] <Pelo> I440r,  get it in torrent ,  30 min to an hour
[00:58] <PriceChild> I440r, if you debootstrap, and get that ready then change all the config files needed and other random stuff... quite a long time
[00:59] <PriceChild> I440r, the standard install will ensure no problems
[00:59] <PriceChild> icesword, I wasn't talking to you? I don't understand your reply?
[00:59] <I440r> price ok
[00:59] <Picachoo> where can i download most popular linux games for free?
[00:59] <putnum> has anybody thought of a way to have auto complete when typing in the terminal window? IE it would guess what you are trying to type?
[00:59] <PriceChild> Picachoo, applications > add/remove
[00:59] <Pelo> Picachoo, from the repos  in add/remove or also try on www.getdeb.net
[01:00] <putnum> it would have to work from within X obiously
[01:00] <NigelS_> john_: yeah, check what your settings are in linux, then try fiddling with TS
[01:00] <I440r> does ubuntu recommend the use of a /boot partition?

[01:00] <kjoz> Hey Guys, i had the audio working on this laptop and i installed a path (kernel-headers?) and know it says the device is not found. One of the intel audio cards. Installed the newest alsa last time
[01:00] <I440r> price i know its not -
[01:00] <PriceChild> I440r, the standard install is all on on partition, with swap
[01:00] <I440r> but is it recommended?
[01:00] <PriceChild> I440r, that's for you to decide
[01:01] <Pelo> Picachoo, I don'T have an answer for that , just pick what you like I guess,   we find that frozen bubbles in middly addictive
[01:01] <putnum> anybody?
[01:01] <I440r> i wont be creating a swap partition for this drive, it will use the existing swap partition on sda
[01:01] <lazarus_lupine> hey having a problem with miro: if i use sudo I have no issues, but as a normal user I get dbus errors. any ideas?
[01:01] <PriceChild> !tab | putnum
[01:01] <Pelo> Picachoo, also do a search on www.digg.com for linux games there were several articles
[01:01] <ubotu> putnum: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:01] <dave> Pelo no luck...apt-get is segfaulting
[01:01] <Picachoo> Pelo but i only want best most played
[01:01] <Pelo> putnum, check in the firefox website for a pluggin or ask in #firefox
[01:01] <dave> any other ideas?
[01:02] <Pelo> dave, I recommend you backup your /home folder or move it to another partition and clean install
[01:02] <putnum> i am talking about building it into the terminal app
[01:02] <Pelo> Picachoo, why ?
[01:02] <nathan> hi all
[01:02] <filo1234> hi to all i have a problem with bluetooth connection to internet truth my phone
[01:02] <putnum> nothing to do with web or irc
[01:02] <nathan> anyone available to help me in pm or here?
[01:02] <dave> Pelo......yes.....I figured as much......thanks
[01:02] <PriceChild> putnum, read the last part of what ubotu said
[01:02] <NigelS_> putnum: building what in? auto-completion of what? paths and commands in the path already autocomplete
[01:02] <Pelo> filo1234,  check the forum for your phone's model , www.ubuntuforums.lorg
[01:03] <wng-> When I installed 7.10, my speaker output on my laptop is not recognized, I know it worked when i installed 6.10 on it awhile ago, anyone have any ideas?
[01:03] <putnum> i guess paths
[01:03] <dumasymptote> does anybody know if the bluetooth functionality of ubuntu is worth it?
[01:03] <prince_jammys> Picachoo: how about #games, or google, or anywhere but here?
[01:03] <filo1234> Pelo:  wait i have found with my error truth syslog is a bug
[01:03] <john_> NigelS_: well...i went to system, preferences, sound and everything is on autodetect  except sound capture. there is no autodetect option for me. right now i have ALSA selected in audio conferencing and for default mixer tracks i have realtek  selected
[01:03] <PriceChild> dumasymptote, we don't know if its worth it to you. We are not you.
[01:03] <filo1234> Pelo:  TIOCGSERIAL is not supported
[01:04] <ptn107> can my separate home partition be shared between debian and ubuntu (where the username is the same) without too much hassle?
[01:04] <Picachoo>  but i only want most popular , most rated and most played. quality games
[01:04] <Pelo> filo1234, I don't realy know anyting about bluetooth , which is why I pointed you to the forum , I'm too poor to have anyting fancy
[01:04] <Yahooguntu> anyone know the ohio loco team's irc channel?
[01:04] <prince_jammys> ptn107: should be, yes
[01:04] <amenado> ptn107-> yes if they have same uid and gid
[01:04] <simmerz> NigelS_: they're the same config file then?
[01:04] <PriceChild> ptn107, it may cause problems with the same applications having different versions on each, misreading the preferences
[01:04] <pike_> dumasymptote: depends.  ive tested bluetooth keyboards+mice and they 'just work' i guess it depends on the hardware
[01:04] <PriceChild> Yahooguntu, #ubuntu-us-oh
[01:04] <Yahooguntu> PriceChild: thanks
[01:04] <ptn107> PriceChild: thats what I was worrying about
[01:04] <sutabi> anyone no what file ineed to mod to get a username to log automatically in?
[01:05] <Pelo> ptn107,  which almost no hassle, as long as the progs you are using on both ar the same versions there should be no issue
[01:05] <pike_> ptn107: i do that usually. i guess it may not be a good idea but ive not had a problem
[01:05] <Pelo> sutabi, you mean to log in automaticaly ?  meneu > SYSTEM> ADMIN > connection windows , or login windows,  3rd tab I think
[01:05] <pike_> sutabi: gksu gdmsetup
[01:05] <pike_> er what Pelo said
[01:05]  * Pelo thinks pike is just showing off
[01:06] <kjoz> I installed a path (kernel headers) yesterday and know my audio isnt working. Spent 2-3 days and finally got the audio and then a patch came out
[01:06] <kjoz> any suggestions or help would be appreciated

[01:06] <m1r> i have small problem with windows border, i am trying to install gnome desktop on server but i cant get top window border to show on desktop, i only see: file,edit,view... section
[01:06] <m1r> any tips on that ?
[01:07] <Pelo> kjoz, I'm not sure I get the problem , is your sound currently working or not ?
[01:07] <pike_> m1r: are you running the window manager?
[01:07] <NigelS_> simmerz: well yes if the version is the same, but actually in ubuntu  i was told the settings are listed in /boot/config-`uname -r`
[01:07] <lazarus_lupine> I can't figure out why miro isn't working, I'm using the latest ubuntu version, but it seems to be a dbus permissions issue or something. I'm getting "no reply" erros from dbus, and "sudo miro" runs fine
[01:07] <natlinuxnewbie> as my name suggest I am a linux newb. Used Win longtime since Dos 6.2. I have just now installed Ubuntu 5.04. I have a Win XP right next to me that I am trying to get the network seeing each other. The Linux can see "Shared Docs" on the XP, but the XP can't see the linux. I've downloaded SAMBA 3.0.28 to my linux desktop and  to now i dont know what to do. Please help?
[01:07] <m1r> pike_ what package would that be ?
[01:07] <sutabi> pike_ and Pelo i cantget to that menu, :( isn't there a file i can edit in a console
[01:07] <pike_> m1r: try this in terminal in gnome: sudo apt-get install fluxbox; fluxbox&   <-- as a test
[01:07] <PriceChild> natlinuxnewbie, 5.04 has reached End Of Life.
[01:07] <PriceChild> natlinuxnewbie, I suggest you install Ubuntu 7.10, the Gutsy Gibbon.
[01:07] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: Welcome to dark side of the force! :-)
[01:08] <Pelo> sutabi, like pike said  sudo gdmsetup
[01:08] <m1r> pike_ , i have gnome runing
[01:08] <kjoz> Pelo, nope not working, i get this error message: No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
[01:08] <pike_> m1r: yeah try that though
[01:08] <simmerz> NigelS_: so they are!
[01:08] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: Yeah, you really should axe your install and go up to Gutsy -- 5.04 is old
[01:08] <Pelo> kjoz, open a terminal and type alsamixer
[01:08] <natlinuxnewbie> Princechild I know. due to broadband limits ill not be installing untill 10 days. :)
[01:08] <simmerz> thanks
[01:08] <Cpudan80> Real old
[01:08] <m1r> pike_ , ok
[01:08] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: There is a package you can download for samba
[01:08] <Cpudan80> !samba | natlinuxnewbie

[01:09] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: That should do it for you
[01:09] <kjoz> Pelo, I get this error: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[01:09] <natlinuxnewbie> I said ive got samaba but i dont know what to do now
[01:09] <Pelo> kjoz, sudo apt-get install alsamixer
[01:09] <sutabi> pelo, i don have a ketboard to type on so im on my windows using o-screen to type, and hope to editthe file from here
[01:09] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: How did you get it?
[01:09] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: via apt-get ?
[01:09] <sutabi> duel-boot
[01:09] <Photocopy> lol
[01:10] <natlinuxnewbie> cpudan80 i googled it and downloaded it my gnome desktop
[01:10] <Pelo> sutabi, this is a bit over my head, maybe you should check in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[01:10] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: So you got a tar.gz --- who knows if that even works with ubuntu
[01:10] <kjoz> Pelo, got this error when i typed that in: E: Couldn't find package alsamixer
[01:10] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: You need to use the apt-get version ---- sudo apt-get install samba
[01:10] <Pelo> kjoz, hold on
[01:10] <natlinuxnewbie> i can open it. but how do i install it?
[01:10] <mjgoins_> I am in a loop where I can't remove edgy-wallpapers without installing gutsy-wallpapers, but guts-wallpapers is considered broken by the presence of edgy-wallpapers (recently tried to double-upgrade from edgy to feisty to gutsy). any advice?
[01:10] <natlinuxnewbie> ah ok
[01:10] <m1r> pike_ failed to load database:/root/.fluxbox/init ... and then loads of faileds
[01:11] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: You would have to compile it, which is way more effort than you need to do
[01:11] <jones> anyone else having random crash/reboots with the new kernel?
[01:11] <pike_> sutabi: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file
[01:11] <MrKnights> Admin, Mods, etc could you unban l3w1s, the software he was using which is addon for mirc is not deleted and he didn't meen to come on this irc server with it, he opened the wrong client program.
[01:11] <pike_> m1r: youre running gnome as root?
[01:11] <Pelo> kjoz,  sudo apt-get install alsa-utils alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui
[01:11] <m1r> pike_ i think no
[01:12] <Pelo> kjoz, and also alsamixergui
[01:12] <m1r> pike_ , i login as user to gnome
[01:12] <pike_> m1r: so basically you have ubuntu-server install and then you used apt-get to grab the gnome packages?

[01:12] <ahorriblemess> help! I have no sound. I followed the instructions on here: http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690942
[01:13] <natlinuxnewbie> cpudan80 should i reinstall linux (so that I have my boot partition seprate from my data) or is this a none issue?
[01:13]  * Pelo can't beleive someone just went !list in this channel, he feels like he's on dalnet 
[01:13] <pike_> m1r: did you do a sudo -i in the terminal or anything?
[01:13] <m1r> pike_ , x-window-syste-core gnome-session gnome-applets nautilus metacity gdm
[01:13] <ahorriblemess> including backing up, but when I tried to get my settings back I rebooted and still no sound
[01:13] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, do you have a volume icon in the top panel ?
[01:13] <ahorriblemess> do I need to reinstall gutsy again or can I work around this somehow?
[01:13] <kjoz> Pelo, kk done, it added a lot of crap under Sound
[01:13] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: yes but  has a "no" symbol
[01:13] <Pelo> kjoz, try typing alsamixer in the terminal again
[01:14] <pike_> m1r: echo $USER says your username?
[01:14] <simmerz> NigelS_: looks like HIGHMEM_4G is set as an option, which means PAE is enabled, right?
[01:14] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: and "no devices found" if I try to adjust volume
[01:14] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, goto menu > system> admin > user ,  look at the properties of your username,  see if you are allowed to use sound devices
[01:14] <m1r> pike_ , one sec, i check, rebooting
[01:14] <kjoz> Pelo, same error :( alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[01:15] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: That is the preferred way to do things I guess --- but I wouldnt start over just to get that
[01:15] <Pelo> kjoz, ahorriblemess   type lspci in the terminal , see if your can tell if your sound card is listed
[01:15] <ahorriblemess> Pelo" yes I can

[01:17] <Photocopy> I installed ubuntu wihtout my network cable in cause it was hanging configuring apt when scanning remote mirror or something, and it told me it skipped this, and security updates? How do I now do what it skipped?
[01:17] <pike_> m1r: if you run metacity & does it fix the problem?
[01:17] <natlinuxnewbie> Cpudan80, so. I would i use apt get or synaptic package manager?
[01:17] <Hammer89> what's a good program for transcoding audio on linux? (something similar to bonkenc)
[01:18] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: my graphics card is Nvidia and I had to do a few things to get that recognized, so when I see "Unknown Device" I assume it's the graphics card
[01:18] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, please take over with kjoz  you seem to know more about it
[01:18] <pike_> m1r: basically it sounds like your window manager isnt starting up

[01:19] <pike_> !metacity | m1r
[01:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about metacity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[01:19] <m1r> pike_ if i reinstall metacity, will it start automaticly ?
[01:19] <pike_> m1r: are you being taken to login screen when ubuntu boots?
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Photocopy: glad that worked but I am on a different problem at the moment

[01:20] <m1r> yes pike
[01:20] <Photocopy> Jack_Sparrow... Alright, its hard to find help here, thanks for earlier
[01:20] <m1r> pike_ i restared x and i lost borders again, i try resintall metacity
[01:20] <pike_> m1r: thats odd. not sure where that is set but you could sudo dpkg-reconfigure metacity or something maybe i dunno id probably just add it to something so it runs at startup
[01:20] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: the thing is, it worked when I first installed 7.10, up until I tried to reconfigure the sound card so I can get headphone recognition
[01:20] <Jack_Sparrow> kjoz  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55936/   save that text as a file on your desktop please

[01:21] <natlinuxnewbie> Cpudan80,  Next step?
[01:21] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, find the howto you used again and gimme the links I'll see what I can find to undo
[01:21] <m1r> pike_ failed to load theme clearlooks, probably thats problem ?
[01:21] <pocketdrummer> Where are programs saved after you install them?
[01:21] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: Now you configure it
[01:21] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: ok, thank you I appreciate it, I'll get it

[01:26] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: thanks, should I keep my current version or say "no" because my current version is wrong?
[01:26] <Jack_Sparrow> kjoz: sudo bash script.txt
[01:26] <Dr_willis> jerbear,  you could just run it from rc.local
[01:26] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: I'm sorry, I mean type Y so install the provided package
[01:26] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, say no
[01:26] <jerbear> Dr_willis: yeh, but i shouldn't have to
[01:26] <Dr_willis> jerbear,  it may be the startup script is not doing somthing right - ive never written my own.
[01:26] <red_one> where does the ubuntu package for firefox3b3 live?
[01:26] <Dr_willis> jerbear,  compare it to the other scripts I guess.
[01:26] <acridfusion> hi yes , um i dont need any help i find out there is an IRC for this (via Pidgin) and for once everything seems to be going fine so yeah ;) awesome!
[01:26] <mike> hi all i have just done sudo apt-get install gdm, then i typed "startx" its not working, can anyone help me
[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> red_one: the beta3 wont be in the repos
[01:27] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, you want to install the pacakge from the command I gave you , and ditch the one that currently is not working , so what ever answer fits that scenario
[01:27] <NigelS_> simmerz: I don't believe so, I have no systems with > 4gb of ram :) but I believe you want HIGHMEM_64G which is provided by the server kernel image I believe
[01:27] <xinx> System → Administration → Restricted Devices Manager   I cant find this for some reason
[01:27] <pike_> acridfusion: welcome to ubuntu. /join #ubuntu-offtopic if ya wanna chat
[01:27] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: right, haha sorry for the confusion
[01:27] <Thedjatclubrock> I installed ubuntu, and then installed kubuntu desktop thru apt-get. now when I startup the loading logo is kubuntu, how di I switch it back?
[01:27] <acridfusion> hey thx pike
[01:27] <Dr_willis> mike,  gdm is the login manager, startx, starts up a X session. bypassing gdm.  -
[01:27] <brian__> its lame that its called pidgin now.. i still like gaim =)
[01:27] <summatusmentis> I'm trying to finish up my Ubuntu installation to my MacBook, but I'm wondering what Alt_GR does
[01:27] <danielski_pl_> does ANSI C compiler come with build-essential
[01:27] <jerbear> Dr_willis: i could be wrong about this, but i think the only requirements are accepting the proper startup and shutdown commands
[01:27] <NigelS_> danielski_pl_: yep, gcc
[01:27] <Photocopy> Hi
[01:27] <mike> dr_willis do i need to restat then
[01:27] <Photocopy> Back again/.
[01:27] <elninja> I'm sure this has been discussed before, but with all of the praise for new systems that use solid state disks I was wondering why people don't just install their OS on a flash drive and use the hard drive for data? Wouldn't that give you the same speed benefits?
[01:28] <red_one> Jack_Sparrow, not even 'experimental'?
[01:28] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: ok, well I typed N at first, then I entered the command again and hit "Y" and it said alsa-base and tools is already the newest version
[01:28] <Dr_willis> jerbear,  No idea really. Ubuntu uses 'upstart' now- So i dont know what the specifics are any more
[01:28] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, this is the only thing I can find in those instrucitons that is easily undone,  hopefully this will force a reinstall of the default options,  try that if that doesn't work ,... backup yoru /home folder and reinstall
[01:28] <ahorriblemess> man
[01:28] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: then you want a server
[01:28] <Thedjatclubrock> Why doesn't ubuntu display any users in the login window
[01:28] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: ok, thanks alot
[01:28] <Photocopy> When I had the LiveCD in I could see my NTFS Windows XP drive in the "Computer" In places. I cannot now that im on my installed ubuntu. Why? How can I fix this?
[01:28] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: uh.... I also don't really know how to backup my home folder
[01:28] <simmerz> NigelS_: ah ok I see. That would explain why a machine with 4G RAM would only show 2.5G? the rest is in lowmem?
[01:29] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, welcome to the joy of linux,   messing up and then fixing it and still kepping your data and settings
[01:29] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: or how to use it to restore all my settings and driver info
[01:29] <kjoz> Jack_Sparrow: kk its going
[01:29] <xinx> my Ubuntu doesnt show Restricted Devices Manager !  System → Administration → Restricted Devices Manager
[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> red_one: Possibly, or perhaps ask in Ubuntu+1  Hardy
[01:29] <Thedjatclubrock> I installed ubuntu, and then installed kubuntu desktop thru apt-get. now when I startup the loading logo is kubuntu, how di I switch it back?
[01:29] <danielski_pl_> nigels: thanx
[01:29] <red_one> Jack_Sparrow, where?
[01:29] <pike_> Thedjatclubrock: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm i think
[01:29] <Dr_willis> mike,  start the gdm service perhaps? startx should spawn a X session IF X is configured right.
[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> red_one: /j #Ubuntu+1
[01:29] <NigelS_> elninja: an ordinary flash drive would connect via the usb bus I imagine - that wouldn't be as good as sata plus flash has a limited number of writes which you could burn through quite quickly under some ordinary conditions
[01:29] <Photocopy> When I had the LiveCD in I could see my NTFS Windows XP drive in the "Computer" In places. I cannot now that im on my installed ubuntu. Why? How can I fix this?
[01:29] <NigelS_> simmerz: there's a 3g/1g split
[01:30] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, boot the live cd,  create a new partiton out of the free space you have on the hdd,  copy your /home filder to it ,  then just clean install ubuntu , use manual partitioning and tell itto use the partiton your /home folder is on for your /home folder
[01:30] <xavieran> How do I set my desktop background to be a color instead of a picture?

[01:30] <summatusmentis> does anyone here run ubuntu on a macbook? How do I get my apple key to work like it does in OS X?
[01:30] <mike> dr_willis it does, but then it says that x could not be started, is there a way to reconfigure it, its a server install and i have install 6.06 on this before and it worked fine
[01:30] <ubuntu_> hi. after every reboot my machine forgets the WPA password. it is on manual configuration, and when I set the WPA key, it connects. there is wpa-psk line in /etc/network/interfaces among other settings, but it does not connect/authenticate after reboot. I have to go in the nm-applet to enter again the key so it authenticates. how to fix that?
[01:30] <xavieran> It's probably something pretty simple but I have no idea how...
[01:30] <NigelS_> simmerz: http://kerneltrap.org/node/2450
[01:30] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, I can't help further tonight , I have to go and get some sleep,  best of luck
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> kjoz: when it finishes you need to log out then back in. You might want to try alsamixer before you do..
[01:30] <Pelo> g'night all
[01:30] <pocketdrummer> What does it mean when Synaptic says something isn't authenticated?
[01:30] <Photocopy> Thanks
[01:30] <elninja> NigelS, wouldn't you have the same problem with a sata drive that uses flash memory? And you could use a swap partition on your hard drive, or a swap on a 2nd usb key, to mitigate the risk of data loss from wearing out the drive.
[01:30] <ahorriblemess> Pelo: thank you so much
[01:31]  * Pelo knows that Jack_Sparrow  will be able to help everyone left 
[01:31] <simmerz> NigelS_: thanks
[01:31] <Thedjatclubrock> pike_: It is still the kubuntu logo :P
[01:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Ouch
[01:31] <Dr_willis> mike,  theres some command line to reconfigure X. but i never can rember it. :)  odd that it stopped working. You may want to reinstall your nvidia or ati drivers. also.

[01:31] <slonbg> sry for the repat, made by mistake
[01:31] <elninja> NigelS_, plus if the flash drive is just the OS and your data is on the hard disk. Then the worst case scenario is you have to reload the OS.

[01:33] <alecwh> I'm currently using the "Goom" visualization for Totem. Lately I'm getting very bored of it, is it possible to download additional visualizations for Ubuntu?
[01:33] <NigelS_> elninja: yes, the interface isn't the point wrt the limited number of writes and people have changed the algorithms that handle disk commits to better distribute them over the disk - fragmentation is not an issue with flash after all since all blocks have the same access rate - so I expect people will use them in future; I'm looking forward to - just need the cost/size ratio to improve and overall capacity
[01:34] <xavieran> How do I set my desktop background to be a color instead of a picture?
[01:34] <xavieran> It's probably something pretty simple but I have no idea how...
[01:34] <Dr_willis> xavieran,  I though there was acheck box right on the 'set wallpaper' tab thing.
[01:34] <NigelS_> it's odd so many don't know what nice is any more :)
[01:34] <Dr_willis> Not in gnome right now. :) but it wasent too hard.

[01:36] <natlinuxnewbie> Cpudan80,  does it matter where? whats a good place for a shared folder?
[01:37] <natlinuxnewbie> Cpudan80,  ...on my linux
[01:37] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: cd ~; mkdir windowsShare; chmod 777 windowsShare;
[01:37] <Cpudan80> That should get you started
[01:37] <natlinuxnewbie> what will it do?
[01:37] <Dr_willis> stooge,  how did you set the password in samba?  smbpasswd -a username sets the samba password for  that machines users home dir. not whats used on othe rmachines.
[01:38] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: Move to your home directory, make a directory called windowsShare, make it so anyone can mess with it

[01:39] <natlinuxnewbie> Cpudan80, is that a good idea? is it safe in my network?
[01:39] <Dr_willis> stooge,  if you cant see shares on other machines.. thats not really an issue on the local machine.  You did set the samba password on those machines? Checkyour workgroups also..
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Private word with you
[01:39] <Dr_willis> stooge,  Ive beenusing the smbfuse tools mainly these days to access the samba shares

[01:39] <Shuggle> how can I install the grub files to a separate partition when using the ubuntu installer?
[01:39] <glick> anyone?
[01:40] <elninja> NigelS_, yeah. Right now though, you can pick up an 8gb drive for relatively cheap (<$50). In most cases, that 8gb is enough for the system files and software. Then you have the entire hard disk free to use for your swap partition, /home partition, and any other data. You can buy a second usb key to use for redundancy, in case your OS gets fucked up. That way you just plug in your backup, and everything is back up and running wi
[01:40] <elninja> thin seconds.
[01:40] <stooge> brb i have to see if the others can see me...
[01:40] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: it should be safe
[01:40] <NigelS_> Photocopy: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[01:40] <Photocopy> 7.10
[01:41] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: I've never set up a samba server --- you should really read the doc and just try it, worst you can do is end up with a mucked up folder or something, no biggie
[01:41] <mike> can someone point me a direction to configure a laserjet 6p in ubuntu server
[01:41] <Photocopy> NigelS_: 7.10
[01:41] <natlinuxnewbie> Cpudan80, i did read it. I couldnt understand it :)

[01:45] <Picachoo> wine wont allow sounds if i install a windows game by it?
[01:46] <karl__> Picachoo: i think wine uses OSS and not ALSA
[01:46] <maximilion_> Starseed, I have amd64, still run 32-bit for browser plugin compatibility
[01:46] <Picachoo> karl__ whats oss and alsa?
[01:46] <maximilion_> karl__, baaad wine! :)
[01:46] <Photocopy> NigelS_: Hello? After trying that mount command I got this error: http://pastebin.com/m2e5ab96f
[01:46] <karl__> Picachoo: they are two different sound servers
[01:46] <karl__> OSS is older
[01:47] <karl__> ALSA has OSS emulation, so you should be able to configure it to work
[01:47] <karl__> might take a bit of tweaking
[01:47] <natlinuxnewbie> Cpudan80,  I right clicked on that windowsShared and set the share properities there. Now windows can see it but its asking for username and password. Whys it doing that when there is no username and password set on it?
[01:47] <maximilion_> Picachoo, OSS is close to hardware sound, and ALSA is a nice sound layer that provides compatibility and adherence to standards such as Open AL
[01:47] <Picachoo> so i can run a windows game in linux with sounds same like i run it in windows?
[01:47] <karl__> maximilion_: thanks for the acurate description
[01:47] <Cpudan80> natlinuxnewbie: You have to setup the folder properly, I dont really know how to do it
[01:48] <JohnnyFedora`> NigelS_, sorry... I am at a pub right now... by nativly I mean you can make programs to run for linux or windows and they can run them without needing to install anything... compiling is okay though
[01:48] <Cpudan80> Anyway
[01:48] <Cpudan80> I need to go
[01:48] <pike_> Picachoo: if it works correctly itll have sound just fine sure

[01:48] <Joelito> kdevelop is for kde, what's for gnome?
[01:48] <Photocopy> NigelS_: Is it fixable easilY? lol
[01:48] <Picachoo> pike maximilion_ oss only gives beeps i guess. and its used by wine. so no real sound ?
[01:48] <Photocopy> Thatss

[01:49] <DrBeaverhausen> Help!  New iPod Nano won't work.  Mounts just fine, music transfers with Amerok, can see the music, but iPod won't see it.  As soon as its unmounted it says there's no music.  iPod was a gift to wife for Valentines day.
[01:49] <maximilion_> Picachoo, No no, you will get accurate sound both if you spend some time setting up OSS or emulating it with ALSA :)
[01:49] <NigelS_> Photocopy: gnome is automounting but for some reason your ntfs partition has been marked as dirty - that is to say it wasn't properly shut down - you need to boot into windows and then run a disk check on it, maybe schedule one - otherwise you can use the ntfsfix tools to fix the partition, or you can temporarily force the mount - I wouldn't recomment the last option
[01:49] <Picachoo> maximilion_ will that slow the speed of game or it will be just like windows speed?
[01:50] <maximilion_> Picachoo, what you mean is System Beep I think (the small speaker on the mobo :P)
[01:50] <NigelS_> Photocopy: additionally, you're currently using the ntfs module whereas the newer ntfs-3g (fuse based) module allows for read/write

[01:50] <barata> say avi

[01:50] <Photocopy> NigelS_: Im confuuuuuuuused. What do I do? And Yes I need Read/write. Thats important too
[01:50] <barata> I didnt realize that it would be this difficult to find
[01:50] <NigelS_> Photocopy: I just told you
[01:50] <Picachoo> maximilion_  i use mirc and it does that
[01:50] <barata> ffmpeg just "says" it support it, but it doesnt convert

[01:51] <Photocopy> NigelS_: Cause I dont know what that means. Can you make that any simpler?
[01:51] <Dr_willis> barata,  i use avidmux to do that.
[01:51] <maximilion_> Picachoo, I really have no idea if it will slow things down. I emulate OSS via ALSA and I get 156 fps in Quake 3 in 1600x1200 (not running in wine, but just an example :P)
[01:51] <barata> TOO LONG Dr_willis
[01:51] <barata> I want something with the command
[01:51] <Dr_willis> barata,   Huh?
[01:51] <mahmoud2> NigelS_: he is using ntfs-3g
[01:51] <Dr_willis> lets be more vague then barata .....
[01:51] <Picachoo> maximilion_ is quak 3 free?
[01:52] <mahmoud2> Photocopy: Are you using Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[01:52] <maximilion_> Picachoo, ioquake3 is (google)
[01:52] <Photocopy> mahmoud2:Yes
[01:52] <Picachoo> maximilion_ direct dl link?
[01:52] <barata> avidemux is too long Dr_willis

[01:52] <Picachoo> maximilion_ what do you use if you dont use wine?
[01:52] <barata> huh?
[01:52] <NigelS_> thezanke: well, it depends what you want - if you want to have a gui this is where there are some issues - you could use java of course but that would break your no-install rule - you can do it in gtk, but that looks clunky to some, or qt which is cross-platform
[01:52] <maximilion_> I use Ubuntu :)
[01:52] <DrBeaverhausen> Can somebody help me with an iPod nano?
[01:52] <barata> I use ffmpeg maximilion_
[01:52] <mahmoud2> Photocopy: then you are using ntfs-3g ..  Is that an external HD ?
[01:52] <NigelS_> mahmoud2: have they aliased ntfs to ntfs-3g now? his fstab still lists ntfs
[01:53] <Photocopy> mahmoud2: No...
[01:53] <Picachoo> maximilion_ what do you use if you dont use wine?
[01:53] <NigelS_> Photocopy: you just need to boot into windows and run a disk check - should fix it
[01:53] <maximilion_> But yeah, I will get around to installing wine some day... Used Linux 2 years ago, but I've just had Ubuntu 4 days, gimme some time will ya ? :)
[01:53] <Photocopy> NigelS_: I dont know how to do that...
[01:53] <mahmoud2> NigelS_: yes ntfs is aliased to ntfs-3g ... Ubuntu does not use the old ntfs anymore ..
[01:53] <Picachoo> maximilion_ what do you use if you dont use wine?
[01:53] <Dr_willis> i use avidmux which is a front end to ffmpeg and other tools....
[01:53] <NigelS_> mahmoud2: good good
[01:53] <maximilion_> Picachoo, read please ! :(
[01:54] <Photocopy> mahmoud2 it asked me to pick one or the other and said the other was unstable, with the default answer being no, so I picked it
[01:54] <maximilion_> up there, a few lines below your second repetition ;)
[01:54] <Picachoo> maximilion_  iam only saying that if i installed wine and run a windows game by it. will lit be the same as windows run it?
[01:54] <mahmoud2> Photocopy: You need to boot into Windows and check the disk
[01:54] <j1solutions> h3llo all
[01:54] <Photocopy> mahmoud2: How?
[01:54] <barata> ok ... I'm testing avidemux
[01:54] <NigelS_> Photocopy: you can boot into windows i'm sure - then right click on my computer or the correct volume and select the tools tab then run a disk check
[01:54] <Alangara> how do you change the timeout on GRUB
[01:54] <Photocopy> Thanks nigels_
[01:55] <barata> mahmoud2, the terrorist from UAE?
[01:55] <Photocopy> theres still one itsy problem
[01:55] <NigelS_> Photocopy: possibly simply booting into it and exiting it will fix it but this way you can be sure
[01:55] <Dr_willis> Alangara,  its a setting in the menu.lst file near the top
[01:55] <barata> bruenig, what's going on with #politics?
[01:55] <j1solutions> Alangara: edit /etc/grub.conf
[01:55] <mahmoud2> barata: ???
[01:55] <Thedjatclubrock> Why doesn't ubuntu display any users in the login window
[01:55] <barata> is it now censored
[01:55] <Thedjatclubrock> Why doesn't ubuntu display any users in the login window
[01:55] <Photocopy> NigelS_: About that one thing with that ntfs 3g or whatever... it asked me to pick one or the other and said the other was unstable, with the default answer being no, so I picked no... I dont think I actually have that.
[01:55] <Alangara> cant, getting a not authorized error
[01:55] <bruenig> barata, it isn't censored
[01:55] <Photocopy> The script at
[01:55] <Photocopy> !ntfs
[01:55] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE
[01:55] <Photocopy> said so
[01:55] <barata> I cant joint bruenig
[01:55] <mahmoud2> Photocopy: from Windows Explorer you right click on the properties of the partition then Tools > Error Checking
[01:56] <nickrud> Thedjatclubrock: because you haven't enabled it in system->admin->login manger
[01:56] <bruenig> barata, I don't know why
[01:56] <DrBeaverhausen> Can someone help me with an iPod nano?
[01:56] <Thedjatclubrock> nickrud: No, I have, it used to list the users, but now it doesn't
[01:56] <sn00zer> Alangara, use sudo if its in the command line and gksu gedit if you want gui
[01:56] <nickrud> Thedjatclubrock: is it still enabled?
[01:56] <Thedjatclubrock> nickrud: Chmod
[01:56] <Thedjatclubrock> ?
[01:56] <Thedjatclubrock> nickrud: Yes
[01:56] <j1solutions> su root
[01:56] <j1solutions> chinge 9999
[01:56] <talcite__> hey guys, I'm finding that the gnome volume applet doesn't take the logarithmic quality of sound into account
[01:56] <Thedjatclubrock> nickrud: I see where it is supposed to be
[01:56] <mahmoud2> Photocopy: You probably did not shutdown your windows properly .. or your partition has a problem.
[01:56] <Alangara> k.. what would i put in the line to have it not automatticly go to the first on the list?
[01:57] <maximilion_> Picachoo, wine is not an emulator - it runs the intel code right off, so you should get the same CPU performance. To get the best video card performance, put in some time to get the correct Ubuntu gfx card drivers. Sound shouldn't effect graphics performance at all, but if you have a Pentium 3 sound might slow things down...
[01:57] <Thedjatclubrock> just non mae
[01:57] <mahmoud2> barata: so what were you saying ?
[01:57] <Starnestommy> barata: you need to be registered and identified with NickServ to go there
[01:57] <talcite__> does the applet just interact with the ALSA mixer?
[01:57] <nickrud> Thedjatclubrock: just non mae ?
[01:57] <Dr_willis> Thedjatclubrock,  different gnome themes either show , or dont show the list of users, and pictures.
[01:57] <tato> how load a mod?
[01:57] <talcite__> or does it interact with the driver module directly?
[01:57] <Photocopy> mahmoud2: I understand, but that little talk between you and NigelS_: about that ntfs3g thing worries me that i dont think i can read/write once ive disk checked anyway
[01:57] <emma> Is there a way to turn down the brightness of my monitor inside of Ubuntu?
[01:57] <NigelS_> Photocopy: I see, I'm not so familiar with the latest ubuntu installer I'm afraid since it was a long while ago that I actually had to install but let's fix the first problem then we can see if you have write support later
[01:58] <Thedjatclubrock> Dr_willis: It used to show all users (I know I haven't changed it)
[01:58] <maximilion_> Picachoo, I really can't promise anything about wine - if you want 100% compatibility and performance, run Windoze I guess - but the beauty of Linux is it's easy and safe to install things and try ! :)
[01:58] <meoblast001> hello.... i have a brother MFC-5440CN printer and i have a project tommorrow that i would really like to print off instead of putting it on a flash drive and taking it in asking a teacher to print it. I forget where the cups error logs are but i remember it saying the error was due to something called filters, how would i fix these to work with my printer?
[01:58] <Photocopy> NigelS_:Thanks
[01:58] <Photocopy> Ill try the disk check now then
[01:58] <maximilion_> bah. :)
[01:58] <icesword> ..
[01:58] <mahmoud2> Photocopy: Do not worry .. NigelS_ got confused .. just do the error check :)
[01:59] <maximilion_> Me, I will install Wine just to run Win98 DirectX games :)
[01:59] <maximilion_> Wish me luck :P
[01:59] <Alangara> on the grub/menu.lst what should be entered to cancel out the timeout feature?
[01:59] <feysalus> woohoo, for the first time in ~8 years I finally have a linux setup where 'everything works'
[01:59] <Alangara> where it load the OS after so long
[02:00] <maximilion_> hey feysalus congrats! :)
[02:00] <barata> that your Arabo Islamo terrorist kind is illegally using linux mahmoud2 !
[02:00] <feysalus> yeah I'm really chilling now 8)
[02:00] <Dr_willis> Alangara,  look in the file. theres a setting. Its default to 109
[02:00] <NigelS_> mahmoud2: well, I wouldn't say confused per se; just not entirely abrest of the changelog ;P
[02:00] <Dr_willis> Alangara,  look in the file. theres a setting. Its default to 10 i mean. :)
[02:00] <maximilion_> I installed SUSE 2 years ago, there was always some hassle... Ubuntu made me finally stop from booting XP so often :)
[02:00] <barata> hey .. the GPL is under US law that says ... 'no export of technology to terrorist'
[02:00] <nickrud> emma: you can change the xgamma, how you do it will depend on your video card
[02:00] <mahmoud2> !language | barata
[02:00] <ubotu> barata: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[02:01] <nickrud> emma: and the driver that vid card is using
[02:01] <Alangara> how do i take out the default time?
[02:01] <barata> and the GPL does comply too actually
[02:01] <j1solutions> ubuntu rocks
[02:01] <Alangara> to never timeout
[02:01] <Dr_willis> Alangara,  'Timeout 10'  change it to whatever...
[02:01] <maximilion_> Indeed it does :)
[02:01] <Nugget_> I installed Mint Linux on a Sony Vaio laptop I bought during the summer (because vista was crappy and I didnt want to buy XP). After I installed linux, it kept complaining that a hard drive failure was immenent, but everything worked fine so I ignored it
[02:01] <j1solutions> Alangara, change the setting to 0 seconds
[02:01] <Dr_willis> i got mine set to 60,
[02:01] <Nugget_> anyhow, it seems the hard drive has failed
[02:01] <maximilion_> Time to hit the hay, nn guys :)
[02:01] <xinx> hello
[02:01] <Nugget_> is linux to blame? I have no reason to believe that the hard drive was going to fail before hand. Did I do someting wrong? Bad kernel settings?
[02:01] <maximilion_> (and possibly gals)
[02:01] <Alangara> okie dokie... tnk
[02:01] <Nugget_> I need to know if I should avoid installing linux on expensive laptops in the future
[02:01] <nickrud> Nugget_: it kept telling you ...
[02:01] <xinx> I have a question is there any program to download mp3 music like limewire for Ubuntu/
[02:02] <j1solutions> Nugget_ i'd bet the drive was bad
[02:02] <Dr_willis> Nugget_,  hard drives are the most unreliable part of a computer.
[02:02] <NigelS_> Nugget_: you ignored a smart warning that a HD failure was about to happen? how long did that carry on for?
[02:02] <thezanke> NigelS_, well I dont one single program that i make to run on both OSes i just need to be able to write things for both OSes
[02:02] <barata> hey ubotu ... the topic is something like 'Ubuntu is being used by Arabo-animal terrorist and it is against the GPL"
[02:02] <barata> how about that?
[02:02] <xinx> I have a question is there any program to download mp3 music like limewire for Ubuntu? c
[02:02] <mahmoud2> barata: besides you have to read the GPL carefully .. because it allows uses for any purpose :P
[02:02] <Nugget_> NigelS_, it didnt complain till i installed linux
[02:02] <maximilion_> Dr_willis, I count the days until humanity can leave clunky mechanical devices and move on... ;)
[02:02] <NigelS_> you're tedious barata
[02:02] <xinx> p2p?
[02:02] <Dr_willis> !frostwire | xinx
[02:02] <ubotu> xinx: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[02:02] <thezanke> NigelS_, and i want the ability to make tons of different kinds of programs
[02:03] <j1solutions> buttNugget: dont ignore failure messages, and always back your data
[02:03] <nickrud> NigelS_: that's a very good word, imma gonna steal it
[02:03] <Dr_willis> maximilion_,  im guessing in a year or 2 - solid state will be common. :)
[02:03] <Nugget_> so I assumed it was because I wiped out a partition with the diagnostic utilities or something
[02:03] <Dr_willis> maximilion_,  and affordable. :)
[02:03] <barata> well ... many GPL-ed encription is also forbidden for the Arabo-animal terrorists
[02:03] <nickrud> Dr_willis: maybe in your income class
[02:03] <barata> Arabo-Muslimo animals
[02:03] <maximilion_> Dr_willis, saving up for a tablet pc with *only* Intel Turbomemory on raid ;)
[02:04] <simmerz> barata: you're overstepping the mark
[02:04] <Nugget_> anyhow, when it boots it just says Error 17 in grub
[02:04] <nickrud> !o4o | barata
[02:04] <ubotu> barata: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flamewars: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space or time travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics.

[02:04] <Dr_willis> nickrud,  its in the high-end macs now. :)   I rember when  lcd's were 1000$+ now look at them.
[02:04] <barata> but of course that low worms Arabo-muslimo-animals will always want to steal it

[02:04] <MatBoy> is there a way to setup softraid with the live installer ? I have the idea that the liveCD does not have the option anymore
[02:04] <NigelS_> nickrud: oh :)
[02:05] <NigelS_> Nugget_: if you run SMART on it you can get an idea of what failed, run tests etc

[02:07] <xinx> Question every time you install like a program it is necessary to restart on Ubuntu like Frostwire? is not opening after the installation :[
[02:07] <michael> firefox keeps crashing. i've looked up causes and fixes on net but to no use
[02:07] <Rafabe> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.04. The LiveCD loads, then I select install, select "manual partitioning", and after selecting my options, it freezes while fetching the partitioner. Is there a way I can load the partitioner manually?
[02:07] <j1solutions> michael, when does it crash?
[02:07] <Rafabe> from the command-linem without loading the LiveCD OS, I mean
[02:07] <michael> when i start firefox from cmd line i get the libspell errors
[02:07] <g0blin> hello people when i open my terminal why i always lost the history -c ?
[02:07] <g0blin> always
[02:07] <g0blin> :S
[02:08] <karl__> how can i view the total load on my system? top gives an average, but i want the current total
[02:08] <j1solutions> thats normal goblin
[02:08] <Nugget_> j1solutions, thanks... downloading i now
[02:08] <meoblast001> hello.... i have a brother MFC-5440CN printer and i have a project tommorrow that i would really like to print off instead of putting it on a flash drive and taking it in asking a teacher to print it. I forget where the cups error logs are but i remember it saying the error was due to something called filters, how would i fix these to work with my printer?
[02:08] <Nugget_> *it
[02:08] <g0blin> j1solutions: nope thats not
[02:08] <g0blin> j1solutions: i never type history -c
[02:08] <g0blin> automatic is that :S
[02:08] <michael> it crashes all the time it seems now
[02:08] <Nugget_> ugh.. sucks though.
[02:08] <g0blin> how to keep my history?a
[02:08] <Joelito> Is there a tweak that helps me add to any folder the instruction "Open terminal here"?
[02:08] <nickrud> Joelito: install nautilus-open-terminal
[02:09] <j1solutions> im thinking about killing myself
[02:09]  * Rafabe golf claps
[02:09] <Photocopy> NigelS_: So I reboot after diskchecking, and there I see sda1 on my ubuntu desktop. How do I know if i have read/write now?
[02:09] <michael> i am thinking of killing this ubuntu install
[02:09] <michael> i am so frustrated with it right now
[02:09] <imagine> I'm having an issue with DNS server.. my DNS server is all set up.. and it's behind my router.. now.. in my /etc/resolv.conf on my other computer, what nameserver do I use My routers' IP or my DNS Server or both ?
[02:09] <michael> so much i grabbed my xp disk
[02:09] <m1r> problem with windows border, metacity dont startup on system boot leaving all windows borderless , any tips to fix this ?
[02:09] <NigelS_> Photocopy: well, try creating a file would be a good start :)
[02:09] <glick> hey is anyone here running a dell latitude d830?
[02:09] <mahmoud2> Photocopy: just try creating a new folder or a file
[02:09] <glick> with ubuntu?
[02:09] <imagine> cuz right now I can ping my server using the fqdn every once in a while only
[02:09] <feysalus> j1solutions: don't
[02:10] <michael> anyone experience the libhunspell error with firefox?
[02:10] <DIL_> d800
[02:10] <Photocopy> NigelS_: mahmoud2: The folder "blahlols" apparently now exists within the folder "Game Recordings"    Success/fail?
[02:10] <Joelito> nickrud: Thanks :)
[02:10] <Rafabe> fail...I mean success
[02:10] <NigelS_> Photocopy: sounds like success :)
[02:11] <noodz> hey, i have kind of a strange request... i'm looking for a way to disable ubuntu's battery sensors so that the battery will continue to charge even though ubuntu believes its full.  i know the reading in gnome is wrong because when the battery has "2 minutes remaining" it actually stays on for over an hour... I think its capable of more, but it stops charging at 20wh ccompared to an original 80
[02:11] <Photocopy> NigelS_: Thanks, now I need to get sound working, and ubuntu studio installed so I can start working on my homemade solo album. whoot
[02:11] <NigelS_> Photocopy: so you get why sda1 didn't appear before yes? maybe your computer crashed in windows, or the power went - for whatever reason it wasn't properly shutdown by windows
[02:11] <michael> anyone familiar with firefox crashes?
[02:12] <michael> forums are no help
[02:12] <Photocopy> NigelS_:Yeah actually, when my ubuntu installation failed the third time and it booted windows i just did a hard reset
[02:12] <NigelS_> Photocopy: that would do it :)
[02:12] <xinx> !frostwire
[02:12] <Photocopy> NigelS_: I need to get sound working now.
[02:12] <xinx> !Frostwire
[02:13] <xinx> omg can someone post the link please?
[02:13] <xinx> ? Frostwire
[02:13] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[02:13] <mahmoud2> michael: how many tabs do you have opened when it crashes?
[02:13] <Photocopy> NigelS_: Think you can help with that?
[02:13] <NigelS_> thezanke: if you just want to be able to write apps for both OSs then there's really no limit to what language you can use, C++, python, java, C etc
[02:14] <NigelS_> Photocopy: it ought to be working now - what's your hw?
[02:14] <thezanke> dont you have to install python to use programs written in it?
[02:14] <Photocopy> NigelS_: my hardware?
[02:14] <Starnestommy> thezanke: usually, yes
[02:14] <noodz> anybody have any idea about my question above?
[02:14] <NigelS_> thezanke: it's an interpreted language yes, the interpreter is available for multiple OS's
[02:14] <thezanke> NigelS_, yeah.. thats what i dont want... I want it to just run
[02:14] <Photocopy> NigelS_: I guess I gotta go into windows and dxdiag to find out?
[02:15] <thezanke> NigelS_, so i was thing c++ would be best
[02:15] <NigelS_> thezanke: then C, C++ are what you want
[02:15] <g0blin> Hello people how to change the name of my username ( i want to change the username: geekworx to g0blin ) how can i do that?
[02:15] <thezanke> NigelS_, thats what i was hoping.. thank you
[02:15] <NigelS_> Photocopy: so you have no audio whatsoever atm?
[02:16] <Photocopy> NigelS_:Correct
[02:16] <michael> duh... i just unchecked my spell check. think that might work.
[02:16] <g0blin> somebody can help me?
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> g0blin: just create a new user account.
[02:16] <g0blin> IndyGunFreak: but i have too many goood files in this user :S
[02:16] <NigelS_> g0blin: the usermod command can change the login
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> then deal with it.
[02:17] <Photocopy> g0blin: /nick namehere
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> Photocopy: he's referring to ubuntu, not IRC
[02:17] <Photocopy> g0blin: Nevermind... I see what you mean
[02:17] <Photocopy> IndyGunFreak: I jut got that.
[02:17] <NigelS_> g0blin: usermod -l I think
[02:17] <NigelS_> g0blin: though this doesn't change the ~ dir - the -d and -m options help there, read its man page
[02:18] <FLUXxXx> Hello! Does anyone know what's the difference between RSYSLOG and SYSKLOGD? Which one is more addvanced and which one would YOU use? Thanks!
[02:18] <g0blin> geekworx@server:~$ usermod -l g0blin
[02:18] <g0blin> usermod: user g0blin does not exist
[02:18] <Rafabe> LiveCD install freezes right after I select the drives to format and what to mount them as, during "Detecting file systems"
[02:18] <g0blin> :S
[02:18] <Photocopy> NigelS_: Right I got no sound.
[02:18] <FLUXxXx> also, why isn't rsyslog available in the ubuntu repo?!?!
[02:18] <Rafabe> anything I can do to install Ubuntu with this CD or do I really have to download the Alternate install?
[02:18] <NigelS_> g0blin: like I say read the man page and use the correct syntax
[02:18] <crazy2k> Do you know of some software to make a song sound louder?
[02:18] <g0blin> nigelr: i'm not so good with english :S
[02:18] <noodz> crazy2k: i think vox can do that
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> Rafabe: well, you can try burning the ISO slower.. how fast did you burn the ISO?
[02:19] <noodz> or something like that
[02:19] <afour> HI
[02:19] <xinx> anyone knows how to change the password for root please :)?
[02:19] <iskin> Does anyone here know where I could go to find out how to remotely crash a computer on my network running windows. Possibly through a DoS attack or packet crafting.
[02:19] <crazy2k> noodz: What is the name? vox?
[02:19] <NigelS_> xinx: there is no root acct by default in ubuntu
[02:19] <simmerz> crazy2k: might be sox you're after
[02:19] <xinx> how can I create one?
[02:19] <amenado> Rafabe-> can you open a terminal and mount those partitions manually ?
[02:19] <Rafabe> indy: don't remember, but the CD has no defects when I run the test, so I don't think this is it.
[02:19] <dman> !flash
[02:19] <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
[02:19] <Rafabe> amenado: yes
[02:19] <Starnestommy> NigelS_: there is, but it's unusable
[02:20] <noodz> crazy2k: don't listen to me, thats not the right name... hah looking for you now though, ihave it somewhere
[02:20] <Rafabe> the LiveCD works until I try to install
[02:20] <NigelS_> xinx: you use sudo to access root level permissions, you don't always need one
[02:20] <mahmoud2> xinx: why do you want the root?
[02:20] <Rafabe> so I can mount/dismount etc
[02:20] <g0blin> so people?
[02:20] <xinx> I want to install Java
[02:20] <g0blin> how to change the name of my username a ?
[02:20] <Mechanimal> Anyone know how to change keyboard, I accidentally set it wrong?
[02:20] <xinx> to run Frostwire
[02:20] <amenado> Rafabe->  what filesystem are on those partitions ?
[02:20] <NigelS_> Starnestommy: for all intents and purposes.. :)
[02:20] <Rafabe> ext3
[02:20] <mahmoud2> !root | xinx
[02:20] <ubotu> xinx: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:20] <crazy2k> simmerz: If it does what I need :)
[02:20] <nickrud> xinx: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-javat6-plugin , done
[02:20] <simmerz> i don't recall
[02:20] <Rafabe> it detects them fine, since I was able to select them and check the "Format" box
[02:20] <Photocopy> NigelS_:Thans for the help. I'll start installing ubuntustudio tonight and get sound working tomorrow. Thanks

[02:22] <nickrud> xinx: you missed my mentioning a typo, it's   sun-java6-plugin
[02:22] <Rafabe> no, this is a LiveCD. By default they are not mounted, but as soon as I open "Computer", then they're all listed, and whichever one I click gets mounted.
[02:22] <amenado> xinx->  no susch thing as sun-javatt6-plugin
[02:22] <eck090> does anyone here use cedega? every time i run it i lagg up

[02:23] <g0blin> NigelS_: i use it but i dont know english i cant get help from there
[02:23] <NigelS_> DrBeaverhausen: #divorce, we really can't handle that here ;P
[02:23] <Rafabe> Amenado: no, this is a LiveCD. By default they are not mounted, but as soon as I open "Computer" (Nautilus, I assume), then they're all listed, and whichever one I click gets mounted.
[02:23] <meoblast001> i have a brother MFC-5440CN printer and i have a project tommorrow that i would really like to print off instead of putting it on a flash drive and taking it in asking a teacher to print it. I forget where the cups error logs are but i remember it saying the error was due to something called filters, how would i fix these to work with my printer?
[02:23] <^cLuBk|d^> [10:41] <cyberjames> ^cLuBk|d^: check your gateway  <-- the gateway and the dns have the same ip
[02:23] <amenado> Rafabe dismount them and do your install,
[02:23] <DrBeaverhausen> Got her an iPod nano for valentines, but the music isn't transfering right.
[02:23] <g0blin> NigelS_: help me tell me the command :S pLS dont say just usermod
[02:23] <glick> has anyone installed ubuntu on a d830?
[02:23] <glick> dell latitude?
[02:24] <witepa> I was able to get  a Wireless USB dongle - WUSB54GC to work with either the r73 or r2500 driver... not quite sure which one actually worked.... two days ago, but last night, it stopped working somewhat randomly. What could the problem be?
[02:24] <Rafabe> they were dismounted when I tried that. It was the 2nd time, and I had rebooted since the first install froze.
[02:24] <aliljet> hey, does anyone have a link to guide on installing ubuntu on a powerbook g4?  (power pc arch..)
[02:24] <SpaT> when is ubuntu getting a kernel upgrade?
[02:24] <Dr_willis_> !ppc
[02:24] <ubotu> PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[02:24] <Starnestommy> g0blin: usermod -l newname -d /home/newname oldname?
[02:24] <IndyGunFreak> DrBeaverhausen: what program are you using to sync the ipod
[02:24] <cyberjames> ^cLuBk|d^: how about the subnet mask? are you using class c ip address?
[02:24] <aliljet> Dr_willis: thanks!
[02:24] <DrBeaverhausen> Amerok.
[02:24] <nickrud> SpaT: it gets patched regularly, but the version won't change until hardy is released
[02:24] <^cLuBk|d^> yes cyberjames: 192.168.x.x
[02:24] <DrBeaverhausen> I transfered about a gig of music.  The space has been filled.
[02:24] <Dr_willis_> aliljet,  and thats about ALL i know on the topic. :P
[02:24] <g0blin> Starnestommy: so to type usermod -l goblin -d /home/goblin geekworx?
[02:25] <emma> I love Ubuntu.
[02:25] <IndyGunFreak> DrBeaverhausen: so whats the problem?
[02:25] <g0blin> Starnestommy: i wants to remame my username: geekworx.
[02:25] <^cLuBk|d^> but still cannot find the reason why i can't ping on 192.168.x.1
[02:25] <Starnestommy> g0blin: if goblin is the new one and geekworx is the old one
[02:25] <DrBeaverhausen> According to amerok the music it there, but when I unmount the ipod it shows no music.
[02:25] <cyberjames> ^cLuBk|d^: what's your sub/netmask?
[02:25] <xinx> Amenado can you type again the cmd please ? thanks :)
[02:25] <g0blin> Starnestommy: so thats the correct command a ?
[02:25] <amenado> Rafabe try again for the 3rd time?
[02:25] <NigelS_> g0blin: that's the command but if you use -m as well it will also copy the contents of your current home dir
[02:25] <^cLuBk|d^> cyberjames: 255.255.255.0
[02:25] <IndyGunFreak> DrBeaverhausen: that makes no sense at all.
[02:25] <DrBeaverhausen> All the files are mp3 or aac
[02:25] <witepa> I was able to get  a Wireless USB dongle - WUSB54GC to work with either the r73 or r2500 driver... not quite sure which one actually worked.... two days ago, but last night, it stopped working somewhat randomly. What could the problem be?
[02:25] <SpaT> nickrud: so they will patch the recently discovered vmsplice vuln?
[02:25] <g0blin> NigelS_: i wants only to rename the name
[02:26] <mohbana> does anyone use texlive?
[02:26] <g0blin> nothing to lose in my files
[02:26] <cyberjames> ^cLuBk|d^: are you using broadband router?
[02:26] <amenado> xinx i dont really speak spanish fluently, I can understand some...
[02:26] <j1solutions> i want to die
[02:26] <DrBeaverhausen> ya I know.  I've been using amerok to handle my shuffle for a month now with out problem.
[02:26] <Starnestommy> g0blin: usermod -m -l goblin -d /home/goblin geekworx ?
[02:26] <witepa> Sorry for the repeat, I meant to edit the message and be more specific, but I accidentally entered
[02:26] <Rafabe> amenado: sure, but since it's failing at the exact same place, I'm not holding my breath for the default installer to pass. Gimme 5 minutes for the LiveCD to load.
[02:26] <DrBeaverhausen> On the info screen of the ipod it shows that the memory is being used.
[02:26] <nickrud> SpaT: it's already released, came out monday
[02:26] <g0blin> can i paste?
[02:26] <g0blin> pls
[02:26] <g0blin> on the pastbin
[02:26] <g0blin> wait
[02:26] <xinx> I need a hand amenado to install frostwire
[02:26] <DrBeaverhausen> I can see the files on it.  Just won't play them.
[02:27] <Starnestommy> g0blin: if it's more than one line long, use a pastebin
[02:27] <amenado> Rafabe-> failing when it attempts to format your drive?
[02:27] <dogmeat> any recommendations for upgrading to v 7.10 ? e.g. is it a can of worms, or worthwhile to do that?
[02:27] <xinx> something is wrong the program is installed but is not opening because i need java I think
[02:27] <iratik> Under System>Preferences>Appearance [Theme] ... where do I find more themes to install?
[02:27] <g0blin> Starnestommy: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/4577/plain/ check here :S
[02:27] <^cLuBk|d^> cyberjames: yes. .
[02:27] <DrBeaverhausen> My wife hates linux and wants me to switch back to windows so I'm desperate.
[02:27] <SpaT> nickrud: ah good to hear
[02:27] <g0blin> Starnestommy: and tell me the correct what to type i don't understand really :S
[02:27] <Rafabe> amenado: no, it fails right before it attempts that. When it syas "Detecting filesystems" (not the first time, they were already detected before)
[02:27] <JohnRobert> what's the method of setting kernel variables these days .. as you can no longer echo values in...
[02:27] <amenado> xinx-> i have not installed it myself, but I assume its something like apt-get install frostwire
[02:27] <xinx> k
[02:27] <Jordan_U> DrBeaverhausen, Is it her computer?
[02:27] <cyberjames> ^cLuBk|d^: are you able to ping the internet?
[02:27] <dogmeat> DrBeaverhausen, get a mistress that likes linux.
[02:28] <xinx> its installed already
[02:28] <NigelS_> DrBeaverhausen: sr
[02:28] <xinx> but it requieres java
[02:28] <Starnestommy> g0blin: are both of the usernames correct>
[02:28] <witepa> I was able to get  a Wireless USB dongle - WUSB54GC to work with either the r73 or r2500 driver... not quite sure which one actually worked.... two days ago, but last night, it stopped working somewhat randomly, although I did install WMware in the process. Could this be the culprit? If not, what could the problem be?
[02:28] <NigelS_> DrBeaverhausen: sorry, I don't own an ipod or would be of more use :)
[02:28] <dogmeat> ive got a wired dongle.
[02:28] <amenado> Rafabe-> then I suspect you have a bad liveCD rom..you may have to reburn it at slower speed
[02:28] <g0blin> Starnestommy: i need to add 1st username?
[02:28] <SpaT> DrBeaverhausen: switch to another wife :P
[02:28] <^cLuBk|d^> cyberjames: no, even the dns and the gateway. but I set the correct values
[02:28] <NigelS_> if ipods just used usbfs it would save a lot of hassle
[02:28] <Rafabe> amenado" even though the self-test shows no errors found?
[02:28] <JohnRobert> ah it was sysctl
[02:28] <ally_xxxoo> hey, if you setup apache on Ubuntu, can you have your own pop3 account?
[02:28] <Starnestommy> g0blin: the old user is the last argument
[02:28] <g0blin> Starnestommy: omg look i dont wants to add or remove i wants only to RENAME.
[02:28] <g0blin> :S
[02:29] <iratik> DrBeaverhausen: iPods contain mp4 files, also.. as far as i know Rhythmbox is compatible with iPod
[02:29] <Starnestommy> g0blin: this is rename
[02:29] <mohbana> does anyone use texlive?
[02:29] <cyberjames> ^cLuBk|d^: do you use firewall?
[02:29] <NigelS_> ally_xxxoo: apache != pop server
[02:29] <amenado> Rafabe id run that self-test again just to make sure
[02:29] <nickrud> ally_xxxoo: apache doesn't do pop
[02:29] <g0blin> so 1st i need to write" adduser goblin ? ?
[02:29] <g0blin> or ?
[02:29] <eck090> does anynone use cedega for gaming?
[02:29] <Rafabe> amenado, I just did, it passed
[02:29] <NigelS_> g0blin: you asked for the command, he told it to you!
[02:29] <^cLuBk|d^> cyberjames: yes,
[02:29] <ally_xxxoo> nickrud what is a good app that does pop3 ?
[02:29] <FLUXxXx> HELLO! Is there a way to replace the current system logging daemon (sysklogd) with Rsyslog in Ubuntu GUSTY 7.10 ??!?! THANKS
[02:29] <NigelS_> g0blin: why won't you just use it?
[02:29] <iratik> DrBeaverhausen: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9266
[02:29] <eetfunk> hi all.  is there a way to do an "internet install" from the alternate cd?
[02:29] <mahmoud2> g0blin : did you try the usermod command they gave you before ?
[02:29] <Rafabe> is there any way I can use the LiveCD to install Ubuntu without going through the GUI?
[02:29] <cyberjames> ^cLuBk|d^: check your firewall rules..
[02:30] <^cLuBk|d^> cyberjames: is it okay if the firewall is windows?
[02:30] <iratik> Rafabe: yes there is a text mode option on the boot menu
[02:30] <DrBeaverhausen> Same thing with rhythmbox
[02:30] <Jordan_U> Rafabe, Easily, no
[02:30] <amenado> Rafabe-> im confused,  you can boot all the way up and have a desktop, but only in the install phase where you are getting a filesystem fail?
[02:30] <iratik> but i think its a little more advanced
[02:30] <Rafabe> iratik: how?
[02:30] <xxploit> FLUXxXx, just remove sysklogd and install Rsyslog?
[02:30] <nickrud> ally_xxxoo: it really depends on your use case, but dovecot is ok
[02:30] <Jordan_U> iratik, Rafabe There is a text mode option on the *DVD*, but not the liveCD
[02:30] <Rafabe> amenado: that's correct
[02:31] <g0blin> NigelS_: what to use it ? i have error :S
[02:31] <sabrebutt> Does anybody have any experience with webcams on ubuntu hardy a4?
[02:31] <ally_xxxoo> ?
[02:31] <iratik> Rafabe: what Jordan said is correct.. I really don't know whats on the liveCD.. but i know whats on the dvd... and i was thinking of the wrong medium
[02:31] <nickrud> DrBeaverhausen: if this is one of the latest ipods, you'll have to wait for hardy to get ipod sync
[02:31] <g0blin> NigelS_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/4577/plain/ read here
[02:31] <FLUXxXx> xxploit: rsyslog isn't in the repository
[02:31] <FLUXxXx> i think
[02:31] <Jordan_U> Rafabe, Have you run the integrity test boot option for the CD?
[02:31] <DrBeaverhausen> We just bought it today
[02:31] <Rafabe> jordan: twice
[02:31] <ally_xxxoo> thanks nickrud
[02:31] <d4rkmonkey> nickrud, whats this I hear about ipod sync?
[02:31] <amenado> Rafabe maybe as few suggest, you proly have to use alternate cd to install
[02:31] <DrBeaverhausen> So I have to wait 2 more months?
[02:31] <cyberjames> ^cLuBk|d^: yes as long your rules will not reject your ubuntu pc..
[02:31] <FLUXxXx> xxploit: nope, it isn't
[02:31] <tritan_3> how do you stop dialup auto connection on boot up?
[02:31] <FLUXxXx> SO.....
[02:31] <xxploit> FLUXxXx, im sure theres a deb of it around on some repo, just google for it then add the repo in then install
[02:31] <Jordan_U> !hardy | sabrebutt

[02:32] <sabrebutt> Thanks Jordan
[02:32] <DrBeaverhausen> Hell no
[02:32] <FLUXxXx> xxploit: there's a DEB for Ubuntu Hardy.
[02:32] <FLUXxXx> can i use that?
[02:32] <g0blin> NigelS_: so really can you help me :S
[02:32] <FLUXxXx> is it safe?
[02:32] <DrBeaverhausen> Did that, the reset
[02:32] <JynxDaddy> GParted on the Ubuntu CD and the GParted live CD shows my entire drive as unallocated :(
[02:32] <d4rkmonkey> DrBeaverhausen, whats this I hear about iPod?
[02:32] <cyberjames> ^cLuBk|d^: much better to try disable first your firewall and see how it will goes on...
[02:32] <^cLuBk|d^> [10:50] <cyberjames> ^cLuBk|d^: yes as long your rules will not reject your ubuntu pc..  <---- how will i set it so that it will not reject my ubuntu?
[02:32] <FLUXxXx> xxploit: how to install it? simply dpkg -i the.deb ? or add the harty repository ?
[02:32] <sleek> what do i need installed in order for banshee to burn an audio cd using mp3 files?
[02:32] <DrBeaverhausen> The ipod doesn't see the music I put on it.
[02:32] <xinx> ? sudo

[02:33] <nickrud> iratik: out of date for newer ipods
[02:33] <FLUXxXx> xxploit: could you give me the hardy repos?
[02:33] <FLUXxXx> please
[02:33] <FLUXxXx> thanks!

[02:34] <xxploit> FLUXxXx, there the exact same as what is in your sources.list right now except replace gutsy with hardy
[02:34] <iratik> nickrud: iTunes doesn't run in wine... and if all else fails... does iTunes run in vmware?
[02:34] <sleek> i'm trying to burn a cd using mp3 files on my hard drive, but banshee/brasero both say i can't do it... what package am i missing?
[02:34] <d4rkmonkey> DrBeaverhausen, hmm, how are you putting music on it?

[02:36] <iratik> nickrud: drbeaverhausen: found step by step instructions on installing support for 3g on http://lilserenity.wordpress.com/2007/12/22/virgin-mobile-praise-ubuntu-and-ipod-nano-3g/
[02:36] <nickrud> iratik: the new libgpod came out in december, so a november article is obsolete as well :)
[02:36] <d4rkmonkey> DrBeaverhausen, I'm not 100% sure, but I remember something about the newer ipods using a different database system. I've been meaning to get itunes working in a virtual machine so that I can use the $50 gift certificate for the itunes store (then rip the DRM off of those...), but the only windows disc I could find sitting around was a vista disk that came with my computer... I have no idea about newer nanos, b
[02:36] <d4rkmonkey> ut the best working way would probably be itunes if you could get it working in a virtual machine.

[02:37] <DrBeaverhausen> OK, I'm going to read some of the stuff you guys have sent me.
[02:37] <iratik> Under System>Preferences>Appearance [Theme] ... where do I find more themes to install? ..
[02:37] <d4rkmonkey> iratik, gnome-look.org I believe has a bunch
[02:37] <nickrud> iratik: personally I don't use non-ubuntu libs, so I'll wait. Principle and being able to troubleshoot here

[02:38] <bobthecow> any tips on getting an nforce 3 onboard NIC working?
[02:38] <bobthecow> anything i can find on the web is seriously outdated.
[02:38] <iratik> d4rkmonkey: lol, thats where i was already..... am I looking for GDM themes.. or GTK 2.x themes .. or what?
[02:39] <d4rkmonkey> iratik, sorry, no idea. I've only ever downlaoded an emerald theme.... but you need to be using emerald for that
[02:39] <NigelS_> iratik: you want the gtk ones, gdm is your login screen
[02:39] <iratik> emerald handles the window decorations.. but not the appearance of the scroll bars ... misc gtk widgets
[02:40] <rpj8> Anyone using eterm notice that it screws up irssi and ncmpc (and I'm sure other applications)
[02:42] <d4rkmonkey> iratik, I know, but it was all I needed, as the themes that were already on were fine for the scroll bars etc.
[02:42] <Dr_willis_> rpj8,  clarify 'screw' up :)
[02:43] <iratik> d4rkmonkey: thanks
[02:44] <g0blin> WOW ?
[02:44] <g0blin> too many joins
[02:44] <g0blin> :S
[02:44] <g0blin> whats wrong ?
[02:44] <rpj8> Dr_willis_: My bad :). Well, in irssi, the bar that tells me what window/channel I'm in at the bottom changes positions.

[02:46] <thiemster> !netsplit
[02:46] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[02:47] <xinx> Hi thiemster
[02:47] <xinx> do you have Frostwire?
[02:51] <Scunizi> MrPiracy, it's a vector graphic program.  I use it for flyers and such..  Other programs may be affected in the same way.
[02:51] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: Hey man, only one request is needed. ANd to install stuff in ubuntu, you need to use the command "sudo aptitude install package-name-here"

[02:52] <Rafabe> cause there's quite a few google results

[02:52] <IdleOne> Rafabe, it is a typo indeed

[02:52] <spike42> i installed the new kernel, and now my computer won't boot
[02:52] <Rafabe> ok, thanks
[02:52] <rpj8> aO|DBlade-DX: Yes. Vista will install over the grub in the MBR.
[02:53] <spike42> it just goes into to ash
[02:53] <rpj8> aO|DBlade-DX: Although that's simply remedied.
[02:53] <aO|DBlade-DX> rpj8, How?
[02:53] <mohbana> does anyone have problems installation lamp through 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server' mine stops at 100%
[02:53] <frogmeat> yes, you will lose your mbr and not be able to get a bootloader to work, you would need a disk to restore.

[02:54] <spike42> i really need help, i have a term paper due

I did check the box to make it my default but tha
[02:54] <frogmeat> t is obviously not working.
[02:55] <MrPiracy> rpj8: hold on, lemme check, but i think this is where i copied them to
[02:55] <rpj8> frogmeat: You could manually edit your xorg.conf file to make it so there's only ONE available screen resolution.
[02:55] <bobthecow> frogmeat: do you need the 1600x resolution setting?
[02:55] <rpj8> frogmeat: You should also check the x logs located in /var/log/X11 (I think)
[02:55] <bobthecow> frogmeat: what rpj8 said
[02:55] <spike42> rpj8:i installed the kernel that was just pushed out, then restarted. it says it can't find /dev/sda4, or anything else. it drops into ash and tells me to fix it
[02:55] <rpj8> To make sure nothing bad happened
[02:56] <mohbana> does anyone have problems installation lamp through 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server' mine stops at 100%
[02:56] <MrPiracy> rpj8: hmmmmm, they're not there, now i dont know where i put them anymore lol
[02:56] <rpj8> spike42: Think you meant that for someone else.
[02:56] <rpj8> MrPiracy: Hehe.
[02:56] <MrPiracy> rpj8: which command should i type after copying the files to this folder?
[02:56] <rpj8> MrPiracy: Commande use-my-fonts-in-Pidgin

[02:56] <aO|DBlade-DX> Could anyone help me with a Partitioning Problem? I have a hard drive with Win XP, Storage, Ubuntu, Swap... And I want to combine(extended) the WIN and STORAGE and also the UBUNTU and SWAP. Right now it says i have too many partitions
[02:56] <meoblast001> i have a brother MFC-5440CN printer and i have a project tommorrow that i would really like to print off instead of putting it on a flash drive and taking it in asking a teacher to print it. I forget where the cups error logs are but i remember it saying the error was due to something called filters, how would i fix these to work with my printer?
[02:56] <spike42> rpj8: who should i ask?
[02:57] <MrPiracy> rpj8: just to copy the files? last time i did a compile fonts command, but i dont remember what it was
[02:57] <MrPiracy> rpj8: i saw it on a website somewhere
[02:57] <nicoAMG>  where's the place /dev/net/tun device node is created?
[02:57] <rpj8> spike42: Not me. I've never been dropped to ash ever in my life.
[02:57] <rpj8> MrPiracy: Hmm.
[02:57] <spike42> its exactly like bash
[02:58] <rpj8> MrPiracy: see if this guy helps you at all: http://www.myfonts.com/Article1391.html
[02:58] <spike42> but it doesn't find any of my hard disk partitions, which is what the error said
[02:58] <rpj8> spike42: Hm. How did you install the new kernel? Through updates or did you roll it yourself
[02:58] <nicoAMG> I need to set MODE 0666 to such device node, but my UDEV hacking doen't works :(
[02:58] <rpj8> spike42: Also, if you still have the option to, boot into the old kernel.
[02:59] <spike42> through updates
[02:59] <raiin> wow that's alot of users
[02:59] <Jordan_U> spike42, Are you talking about busybox?
[02:59] <spike42> and i'm using lilo, and doesn't see the old kernel
[02:59] <spike42> busybox?
[02:59] <rpj8> spike42: lilo? Last I knew Ubuntu used grub.
[02:59] <Jordan_U> spike42, Any reason why you are using lilo?
[02:59] <TKL> Hello people. Anybody have an idea as to how to get the ratings from itunes importet to AmaroK?

[03:00] <FLUXxXx> Dude, HOW to install rsyslog on Ubuntu Gusty ?!?!
[03:00] <spike42> novell eats grub for some reason
[03:00] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: You install things in Ubuntu with aptitude.
[03:00] <nicoAMG> so, the ls -l command output is: crw------- 1 root root 10, 200 2007-11-04 18:07 /dev/net/tun
[03:00] <spike42> or somesuch, i dual boot and grub gets eatn
[03:00] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: "sudo aptitude install rsyslog" sounds like a winner.
[03:00] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: Google is also your very best friend.
[03:00] <Jordan_U> spike42, What do you mean by "novelle eats grub" ? Are you dual booting?
[03:01] <spike42> yup

[03:01] <dermoth> spike42, I'm not sure if you got the same problem as I had last kernel update, but try booting from the CD, chrooting to your system and running update-initramfs
[03:01] <nicoAMG> I.need the tun device for an userspace VPN application (OpenVPN Client on Ubuntu)
[03:02] <Jordan_U> spike42, You might or might not want to have one bootloader installed to the MBR and another to a partition
[03:02] <FLUXxXx> rpj8: lol do i look that stupid..? don't answer that
[03:02] <FLUXxXx> rsyslog isn't in the 7.10 repos
[03:02] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: Well then you should wait until 8.04 :)

[03:03] <FLUXxXx> that's MY post rpj8

[03:03] <meoblast001> does anyone here know what a print filter is?
[03:03] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: Hardy repos assume you have other dependencies, which you don't.

[03:03] <spike42> i get into the normal boot sequence, then it goes "looking for root partition" then fails out
[03:03] <nickrud> FLUXxXx: now you have a real problem, you hav a mixed system
[03:03] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: What's the problem with just waiting for hardy?
[03:04] <dermoth> spike42, if the initramfs is broken the kernel won't be able to load basic drivers and therefore won't be able to see the root fs
[03:04] <dermoth> spike42, I'm not sure if you got the same problem as I had last kernel update, but try booting from the CD, chrooting to your system and running update-initramfs
[03:04] <spike42> yea

[03:04] <spike42> thats what it said!
[03:04] <nickrud> FLUXxXx: bottom line, since you're already half hardy you might as well go all the way, see if it works. Your only other fix is a reinstall
[03:04] <spike42> something about initramfs

[03:07] <Soludra> I don't know how to revert to the previous drivers either
[03:08] <rpj8> Soludra: to revert to previous drivers (vesa), edit your xorg.conf file, change the driver to vesa
[03:08] <rpj8> Soludra: "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[03:08] <dermoth> spike42, actually what i ran is mkinitramfs, but it's probably ran by update-initramfs anyways. you can try the instructions in the forums first

[03:13] <pteague> ok, is there a way to change my screen resolution without rebooting the x server?
[03:13] <nickrud> Scunizi: restarting X was my next advice, if the +/- didn't work. But mentioning why you suggested backspace would prevent suprises
[03:13] <rpj8> perrako: Oooo ouch. on second thought it might be an hdd failure.
[03:13] <NigelS_> perrako: if your machine rebooted itself, and you can see no partitions it doesn't look good
[03:13] <Scunizi> nickrud, sometimes takes the fun out of it.. but I see your point.
[03:13] <kenan_> How come when I have my graphics card drivers installed, my computer screen will randomly turn black and there is no way to fix it unless I restart the computer, is there a way to fix this?
[03:14] <NigelS_> perrako: from the livecd try using the SMART tools to check it
[03:14] <xsystemx> thx all
[03:14] <rpj8> kenan_: Your card might not be supported by the drivers.
[03:14] <NigelS_> kenan_: which driver?
[03:14] <perrako> K, let's see how that goes
[03:14] <rpj8> kenan_: What kind of card do you have, and what does it say under driver in "etc/X11/org.conf"
[03:14] <RedHeron> Okay, got kind of a strange question: How do I discover what user/group combination the apache server on my Ubuntu box is using?
[03:14] <rpj8> Wow, loads of X problems tonight.
[03:14] <CyanideD> finally
[03:14] <Soludra> rpj8: I changed the config file, should I restart X now?
[03:15] <nickrud> pteague: if the +/- doesn't, and the change res doesn't, then restart is basically it
[03:15] <kenan_> rpj8: my drivers are supported i have an ati radeon 1100 and the graphics work fine and everything, but i will be working on something, then boom, black screen and i have to restart computer
[03:15] <CyanideD> i just got my irc working with ubuntu
[03:15] <nickrud> RedHeron: ls -l /var/www
[03:15] <wease|> i rarely have issues with X so this interesting
[03:15] <rpj8> RedHeron: ls /etc/passwd |grep apache
[03:15] <RedHeron> nickrud: That's not correct.
[03:15] <nickrud> RedHeron: ls -l /var/www -d that is
[03:15] <NigelS_> kenan_: which driver are you using?
[03:15] <rpj8> Soludra: yep. give it a whirl
[03:15] <perrako> NigelS_, where are the smart tools?
[03:16] <CyanideD> can someone help me out i cant seem to get java on ubuntu
[03:16] <rpj8> kenan_: Definitely sounds like your card isn't *fully* supported. File a bug report at bugs.launchpad.net
[03:16] <NigelS_> perrako: the smartmontools pkg iirc
[03:16] <pteague> why does system -> preferences -> screen resolution rely only on xrandr?  surely there's a way to get xvidmode to change the resolution?
[03:16] <perrako> k
[03:16] <RedHeron> nickrud: It's telling me root, which I already tried and which is incorrect.
[03:16] <kenan_> NigelS_: i cant check right now as i am not using that computer this is actually a problem my friend is having but we installed it via envy
[03:16] <RedHeron> rpj8: No results.
[03:16] <edju> I have an external usb hard drive that I want to use just to transfer files to and fro.  How do I get enough of an os on it to accomplish that?
[03:16] <nickrud> RedHeron: it should be user www-data and group root
[03:16] <RedHeron> nickrud: Thanks.
[03:16] <jappdev> RedHeron cat /etc/apache2/apache2.conf |grep Group
[03:16] <NigelS_> kenan_: what is envy?
[03:17] <kenan_> NigelS_: ive read on the forums that people use the same card as me and its fine for them and I have windows dual booted and i dont get any errors
[03:17] <rpj8> RedHeron: My bad...
[03:17] <scibot> Hi, in a game development forum this guy appears to need some help installing the intel video drivers with opengl support under Ubuntu, http://www.rtsoft.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7180#post7180
[03:17] <rpj8> nickrud: Wait, ubuntu doesn't use the passwd file under /etc/
[03:17] <rpj8> ?
[03:17] <nickrud> RedHeron: it only matters if apache is expected to write to there
[03:17] <nickrud> rpj8: yes, passwd and group
[03:17] <CyanideD> can someone help me out i cant seem to get java on ubuntu
[03:17] <NigelS_> kenan_: well windows uses an entirely different driver so its not really relevant to this - I ask as ATI written drivers have problems with black screens and hanging x servers
[03:17] <zelrikriando> hi nickrud
[03:17] <FLUXxXx> HELLO! Why doesn't Ubuntu have the /proc/config file? I want to get the latest kernel package, copy the running kernel .config and run make oldconfig
[03:17] <scibot> I'm not a Ubuntu user so I can't help him out, but I'd really appreciate it if any of you could.
[03:17] <NigelS_> kenan_: you are using fglrx I imagine
[03:17] <nickrud> zelrikriando: hi there
[03:18] <FLUXxXx> how do i get the .config file for the currently running kernel ?
[03:18] <FLUXxXx> in ubuntu 7.10??
[03:18] <rpj8> RedHeron: Ah, my bad. it wasn't 'ls'. it was 'cat'
[03:18] <kenan_> NigelS_: yes i am
[03:18] <NigelS_> kenan_: sounds like a bug with them
[03:18] <RedHeron> rpj8: Thanks.
[03:18] <rpj8> RedHeron: Pretty sure if you used cat /etc/passwd |grep apache it'd work
[03:18] <nickrud> CyanideD: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre  sun-java6-plugin
[03:18] <NigelS_> kenan_: they are very buggy, ati still can't write drivers even after the amd takeover
[03:18] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: There are a .... TON of .config files.
[03:18] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: Which one are you looking for specifically.
[03:18] <CyanideD> thanks
[03:19] <RedHeron> rpj8: No results.
[03:19] <nickrud> FLUXxXx: its in /boot/config-$(uname -r)
[03:19] <egc_> hey all
[03:19] <nickrud> rpj8: apache isn't a user, www-data is apache's user
[03:20] <egc_> anybody ever used cscope with a project?
[03:20] <meoblast001> hello... i have a Brother MFC-5440CN and i have it set up to print, but when i print, the error logs read something about a filter or something.... i dont know where the error logs are so i cant find the actual error......... does anyone know how to fix these filters?
[03:20] <UncleChevitz> Is there an WYSWYG HTML editor comparable to Seamonkey or Dreamweaver for Dapper?
[03:20] <FLUXxXx> thanks nickrud
[03:20] <rpj8> nickrud: Ah, thanks
[03:20] <FLUXxXx> rpj8: i'm looking for the currently running kernel .config
[03:20] <FLUXxXx> get it?
[03:20] <RedHeron> nickrud: Thanks, that's working now. :D
[03:20] <egc_> im looking for a how-to for setting it up
[03:20] <rpj8> RedHeron: try cat /etc/passwd | grep www-data
[03:20] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: I guess I don't. Either I just am not that advanced or you have no idea what you're talking about
[03:20] <meoblast001> UncleChevitz: i know Seamonkey is available for linux and if you get WINE, you can run Dreamweaver 8 with Ubuntu
[03:21] <scibot> UncleChevitz, I didn't know people still used dreamweaver.
[03:21] <RedHeron> rpj8: Already did. :D
[03:21] <xxploit> FLUXxXx,  /boot directory ?
[03:21] <FLUXxXx> yes, i found it
[03:21] <rpj8> RedHeron: Heh. woo. Sorry about that.
[03:21] <aaron_> a question of ctags
[03:21] <nickrud> aaron_: ##c knows much more about ctags than #ubuntu
[03:22] <FLUXxXx> but why wasn't the option CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL enabled in generic kernel ?
[03:22] <RedHeron> rpj8: Can't be right 100% of the time... no worries.
[03:22] <meoblast001> i have a Brother MFC-5440CN and i have it set up to print, but when i print, the error logs read something about a filter or something.... i dont know where the error logs are so i cant find the actual error......... does anyone know how to fix these filters?
[03:22] <nickrud> FLUXxXx: because it's a production kernel?
[03:22] <UncleChevitz> CS3 just came out a few months ago I use it on my windows box, thnx meoblast
[03:22] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: I would guess debug isn't exactly 'standard' if it's not in the generic kernel
[03:23] <kjoz> is Sparrow around ?
[03:23] <meoblast001> UncleChevitz: yw
[03:23] <FLUXxXx> rpj8: got it
[03:23] <FLUXxXx> thanks dudez
[03:23] <rpj8> meoblast001: logs are in /var/log/
[03:23] <mutefaintcow> I just booted Ubuntu and the sound doesn't work.
[03:23] <rpj8> FLUXxXx: No worries
[03:23] <jigs> thnx people for helping me yesterday.. ubuntu?  great.. nice nice i love this system..
[03:23] <nickrud> !sound | mutefaintcow
[03:23] <ubotu> mutefaintcow: 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).

[03:24] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[03:24] <emma> When you take the time to look there are a lot of little surprising things in the system menu
[03:24] <meoblast001> rpj8: do you know where the CUPS print one is?
[03:24] <eko_hermiyanto> I could mount home directory on another linux machine
[03:25] <eko_hermiyanto> I have root password for both machines
[03:25] <rpj8> meoblast001: Maybe in /var/log/cups
[03:25] <meoblast001> rpj8: oops, wasnt scrolling up high enough lol
[03:25] <eko_hermiyanto> I have tried sudo mount //192.168.0.13/ /media/fileserver -o username=root,password=petra,dmask=777,fmask=777
[03:25] <eko_hermiyanto> but failed
[03:25] <rpj8> meoblast001: you can use autocomplete at the command line... type in /var/log/c and then hit tab a few times
[03:25] <phoenix5002> Hello, can someone tell me a terminal command that will display my kernel version and info?
[03:25] <eko_hermiyanto> and I have tried //192.1968.
[03:25] <eko_hermiyanto> and I have tried //192.168.0.13/home
[03:25] <eko_hermiyanto> failed too
[03:25] <nickrud> phoenix5002: uname -a
[03:25] <glick> have any ubuntu fans tried kubuntu and what did you and didnt you like about it?
[03:25] <phoenix5002> thanx
[03:26] <nickrud> glick: it has kde?  /ducks
[03:26] <rpj8> glick: Don't like kde. I will never bother with kubuntu
[03:26] <Decamerone> :-)
[03:26] <speeddemon8803> Glick, tried (k)(u)(xu)buntu...loved em all
[03:26] <NigelS_> glick: gnome/kde are a personal preference - really you've got to try both and make your own mind up

[03:26] <moissi> Hi, what are the minimum system requirements for ubuntu?
[03:26] <_Oz_> yeah, what's the difference, exactly, between xubuntu and ubuntu?
[03:26] <meoblast001> do you understand that?
[03:26] <_Oz_> should I have used xubuntu for my headless media server?
[03:26] <speeddemon8803> !pastebin | meoblast001
[03:26] <ubotu> meoblast001: 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)
[03:26] <eko_hermiyanto> please I need that to scan for viruses on the computer
[03:27] <rpj8> meoblast001: Well apparently your print job got messed up due to filter errors :P
[03:27] <regeya> indeed, gnome and kde are a personal preference
[03:27] <eko_hermiyanto> because I only have klamav on this ubuntu
[03:27] <kahrytan> glick->  and you can try all 3 by installing ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop on either version
[03:27] <eko_hermiyanto> and the gentoo on the other machine does not have it
[03:27] <nickrud> _Oz_: xubuntu uses xfce as the desktop rather than gnome, a little less functionality for a lot better performance
[03:27] <meoblast001> speeddemon8803: sorry... i thought that was gonna end up small enough to fit nicely here
[03:27] <_Oz_> ah
[03:27] <regeya> _Oz_: xubuntu is like ubuntu, but with xfce as the desktop instead of gnome
[03:27] <_Oz_> can I switch to xubuntu from ubuntu without reinstalling?
[03:27] <regeya> !xubuntu
[03:27] <ubotu> Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels
[03:27] <meoblast001> rpj8: whats a filter and a filter error and how do i fix it?
[03:27] <kahrytan> nickrud->  xfce performance depends on machine
[03:27] <NigelS_> eko_hermiyanto: your syntax is wrong - what are you trying to mount?
[03:27] <nickrud> kahrytan: I meant on the same hardware
[03:28] <mutefaintcow> I've been to /SoundTroubleshooting trying to fix my sound, got lost in the lingo. Anybody help walk me through this?
[03:28] <eko_hermiyanto> I am trying to mount home directory on the network computer with my ubuntu
[03:28] <eko_hermiyanto> I have root password for both of the computer
[03:28] <speeddemon8803> !kubuntu > speeddemon8803
[03:28] <jigs> i suggest use ubuntu instead
[03:28] <kahrytan> nickrud->  I tried ubuntu and xubuntu on older p3 machine and ubuntu worked better
[03:28] <rpj8> meoblast001: Not entirely sure. Try tagging that last bit (without numbers) into google and see if anything shows up
[03:28] <meoblast001> rpj8: k
[03:28] <Geoffrey2> is there anyone here who could help me modify my menu.lst file?
[03:28] <meoblast001> rpj8: i think i already did but w/e ill do it again
[03:28] <kahrytan> Geoffrey2->  for what?
[03:28] <nickrud> kahrytan: heh. xfce was much faster on the p3 I ran
[03:28] <NigelS_> eko_hermiyanto: how are you making the dir avaiable on the network? smb?
[03:29] <eko_hermiyanto> yes
[03:29] <kahrytan> nickrud->  hence it depends on the computer
[03:29] <rpj8> meoblast001: It's what I'd do. I don't use cups at the moment, nor have I even been able to replicate the problem
[03:29] <eko_hermiyanto> sudo mount //192.168.0.13/home /media/fileserver -o username=root,password=petra,dmask=777,fmask=777
[03:29] <eko_hermiyanto> that was my command
[03:29] <eko_hermiyanto> but failed
[03:29] <NigelS_> eko_hermiyanto: I would suggest trying fuse smb - it makes mounting windows networks easy
[03:29] <eko_hermiyanto> nigelr, it's not windows network
[03:29] <eko_hermiyanto> my computer is ubuntu
[03:29] <eko_hermiyanto> and the network computer is gentoo
[03:29] <eko_hermiyanto> both of them are linux
[03:29] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: nfs?
[03:30] <eko_hermiyanto> smb
[03:30] <NigelS_> eko_hermiyanto: yes, but you're using smb which is the windows protocol
[03:30] <jigs> i've been experimenting ubuntu and xubuntu for a week now and, and i think ubuntu is much easier to used than xubuntu. well xubuntu is good but theres something is missing there
[03:30] <meoblast001> are there any CUPS users here that know what a print filter is?
[03:30] <RedHeron> SMB = Micro$of7 Crapola.
[03:30] <speeddemon8803> !smb

[03:30] <mutefaintcow> Sound not working. Been to /SoundTroubleshooting on community support pages to no avail. Anybody help walk me through this?
[03:31] <Geoffrey2> kahrytan: right now I need to add hpet=disable to the end of the kernel line, to get around a kernel bug that prevents ubuntu from loading at all....apparently there is somewhere in the file I can place that option to make it a default that carries over even when the kernel files are updated....
[03:31] <kahrytan> jigs->it could be the game
[03:31] <zoidberg_> hey guys...in gutsy there is compiz fusion already built in....are there other effects and stuff or addons that we can add to it?
[03:31] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: No no. Do you have nfs stuff installed? the way you're doing it you'll need nfs stuff
[03:31] <kahrytan> Geoffrey2->  oh cant help there. to adv for me

[03:32] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: To mount anything remotely you need nfs or smb.
[03:32] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Simple as that
[03:32] <eko_hermiyanto> rpj8, I have smb
[03:32] <zoidberg_> kahrytan, i'm confsued...what do u mean?
[03:32] <NigelS_> eko_hermiyanto: read the mount man page for the correct syntax
[03:33] <Chrisbst1> ok, so I have the random question of the day...anyone up for a challenge?
[03:33] <rpj8> THen you should mount that baby with smbclient and s,bfs

[03:33] <meoblast001> are there any CUPS users here that know what a print filter is?
[03:33] <speeddemon8803> Sure Chrisbst1
[03:33] <speeddemon8803> Bring it on bud :)
[03:33] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: smbfs is needed to mount samba clients
[03:33] <Chrisbst1> ok, I have a wireless network running throughout the house

[03:36] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[03:36] <rpj8> also, it's not that ubuntu doens't work out of the box. it's that your printer doesn't.
[03:36] <meoblast001> rpj8: i have another error that i gave up on.... GNOME always crashes at random moments and GDM has enormous fonts
[03:36] <rpj8> meoblast001: whoever made your printer was a lazy bum and didn't make linux drivers
[03:36] <Chrisbst1> I am trying to get the ubuntu machine to connect through to the network through a windows laptop on the wireless network. The laptop is connected to the wireless network with an internal card and I tried running a CAT5E to the linux machine from the windows latop, but the linux machine won't recognize the internet.
[03:36] <meoblast001> rpj8: they made linux drivers, i installed them..... the filter or whatever is messed up
[03:37] <___Oz___> I am installing xubuntu now!  On my media server, which is a pig.
[03:37] <meoblast001> rpj8: cups has these "print filters"
[03:37] <___Oz___> This will probably be a good thing.
[03:37] <mike345> hi everyone...i just installed some header updates that involved a reboot, and after i rebooted, it looks like my NIC is having a hard time grabbing an IP from my router...when i run ifconfig, it doesn't show that eth0 has an ip address. i've tried statically assigning an IP to the Ubuntu box that I know is available, but I still am not able to connect to the outside world...any ideas?
[03:37] <kahrytan> ___Oz___-> What is the media server doing?
[03:37] <mumrah> rpj8: xpdf is just a viewer
[03:37] <meekolope> Chrisbst1
[03:37] <kahrytan> ___Oz___-> tv tuner?
[03:37] <mutefaintcow> nickrud: no, didn't see that, what's a factoid?
[03:37] <nickrud> !sound | mutefaintcow
[03:37] <ubotu> mutefaintcow: 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
[03:37] <rpj8> mumrah: do a 'aptitude search pdf' and see what you come up with
[03:37] <___Oz___> kahryan: it is hooked up to my DLP to watch xViD and DivX movies, I control it via TightVNC
[03:37] <nickrud> mutefaintcow: the above is a factoid :)
[03:38] <eko_hermiyanto> sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.13/ /media/fileserver --verbose -o username=root
[03:38] <kahrytan> ___Oz___->  because mythbuntu uses xfce for mythtv setup
[03:38] <eko_hermiyanto> this is the correct command
[03:38] <___Oz___> Oh?
[03:38] <Nugget_> man am I screwed
[03:38] <mutefaintcow> nickrud: yes, that's where I started
[03:38] <___Oz___> I read about mythtv.  Not too sure I need that yet.
[03:38] <Nugget_> doing a surface scan on my laptop's HDD
[03:38] <eko_hermiyanto> but how to mount the home directory?
[03:38] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: You can just do 'sudo mount.cifs' and then the rest
[03:38] <___Oz___> I just needed something to watch movies and play music with, on my home system.
[03:38] <Nugget_> 896 errors so far
[03:38] <speeddemon8803> Dude, rockbox SUCKS
[03:38] <kahrytan> ___Oz___->  it does a media server backend
[03:38] <Nugget_> and not even 1% done
[03:38] <nickrud> mutefaintcow: what kind of sound chip do you have? I don't know sound much, just a couple of chips
[03:38] <eko_hermiyanto> the real problem is because //192.168.0.13/home could not be used as direction to mount home folder
[03:39] <kahrytan> ___Oz___->  it does more then just tv watching .. dvds, weather, videos
[03:39] <___Oz___> kahrytan: oh?  I have a headless server hooked right up to my TV -- is it good for that?
[03:39] <DynV> Would someone please test Ekiga with me ?  I speak both English and French fluently, send me a private message.
[03:39] <kahrytan> ___Oz___->  headless?
[03:39] <___Oz___> Does it require a tuner card and et. al?
[03:39] <rpj8> is the 192.168.0.13 a ubuntu box?
[03:39] <___Oz___> kahrytan: yeah, I control it via VNC, no keyboard, no mouse, etc
[03:39] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: is the 192.168.0.13 a ubuntu box?
[03:39] <Rictoo_> WOW
[03:39] <mutefaintcow> nickrud: intel ICH4
[03:39] <Rictoo_> WHAT IS GOING ON HERE WOW
[03:39] <eko_hermiyanto> rpj8, my machine is ubuntu but 192.168.0.13 is gentoo
[03:39] <nickrud> mutefaintcow: that's not one I know, sorry
[03:40] <___Oz___> Rictoo: easy, brother.
[03:40] <kahrytan> ___Oz___->  You could always get a cheap hauppauge remote and use lirc.
[03:40] <Rictoo_> lol ___Oz___
[03:40] <jbalcaen_> hello all
[03:40] <___Oz___> kahrytan: what's that?
[03:40] <eko_hermiyanto> but I have worked with the machine by using nautilus and capable to work with the data on the machine
[03:40] <meekolope> Chrisbst1: you are going to need to do some setting up
[03:40] <dogmeat> about to complete upgrade to gutsy
[03:40] <___Oz___> dogmeat: YES!
[03:40] <kahrytan> !shout | Rictoo_
[03:40] <mutefaintcow> nickrud: thanks anyway, i'll dig deeper on my own when i'm not so tired, lol
[03:40] <ubotu> Rictoo_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[03:40] <___Oz___> You're going to like gutsy.
[03:40] <meekolope> Chrisbst1: are you still there?
[03:40] <meoblast001> linux hates me
[03:40] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Ah ok. Well in my smb.conf file (on the samba server), I have path = /media/sda1/Music under the [Data] portion
[03:40] <Chrisbst1> yet meek
[03:40] <jbalcaen_> how can I clear my network configuration ? I'm at home but my dhcp keeps trying to get an offer from the gateway at work and not the one at home
[03:40] <Chrisbst1> yes
[03:41] <meekolope> linux loves you
[03:41] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Have you specified the path to share yet
[03:41] <speeddemon8803> !hate
[03:41] <Chrisbst1> Linux hates me
[03:41] <ubotu> hate is a thing we don't encourage - why waste your energy
[03:41] <kahrytan> meoblast001->  we hate you too .. kidding
[03:41] <___Oz___> Once I install xubuntu, I can go back to the gnome interface easily...  right?
[03:41] <nickrud> jbalcaen_: try sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0  (or eth1 if that's what it is)
[03:41] <kahrytan> ___Oz___->  xsession i think?
[03:41] <Rictoo_> ___Oz___: of course
[03:41] <dogmeat> i dont know that after i reboot ill have a usable system
[03:41] <jbalcaen_> I've ttried that already
[03:41] <mutefaintcow> btw general comment: new to linux, climbing the learning curve.... this is amazing
[03:41] <meekolope> Chrisbst1: so you are trying to share an internet connection through a wirelessly connected windows laptop to a linux desktop correct?
[03:42] <Chrisbst1> correctr
[03:42] <DG19075> !xubuntu
[03:42] <ubotu> Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels
[03:42] <meoblast001> what is a print filter and how do you fix it?
[03:42] <kahrytan> mutefaintcow->  Its steep learning curve but if you fall, you always got #ubuntu to catch you.
[03:42] <Chrisbst1> an awful thing to do because windows hates network bridges and I think linux hates windows...but that might be me
[03:42] <rpj8> meoblast001: You might have beetter luck in #cups
[03:42] <nickrud> jbalcaen_: then sudo killall NetworkManager && sudo NetworkManager
[03:42] <eko_hermiyanto> rpj8, not yet, I do not know how to do that :D
[03:42] <meekolope> Chrisbst1: ok first off you are going to need a Crossover cable instead of a Straight through cable. To connect your laptop to the desktop
[03:42] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Hah, wow, and you run gentoo :P.
[03:42] <Rictoo_> LIFE
[03:42] <nickrud> jbalcaen_: did both today, one of them worked
[03:42] <meoblast001> rpj8: #cups is always inactive, and last time i did that, i had one of my frequent computer crashes
[03:42] <jtmoney> i'm having a weird problem... sometimes, i cannot access my samba server/shares via \\ComputerName but only ip address. for example, i could type in \\192.168.1.100 and access the files *ALL THE TIME* but only \\ComputerName some of the time. any idea what could be causing this?
[03:43] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: edit /etc/samba/smb.conf on your gentoo box
[03:43] <eko_hermiyanto> rpj8, the one who set-up gentoo was my manager
[03:43] <meekolope> Chrisbst1: a cross over cable allows you to connect two computers directly to each  other
[03:43] <Jordan> i cant get the ubuntu cd to install a gui or load the gui
[03:43] <spdf> Mmm beer..
[03:43] <eko_hermiyanto> rpj8, I only able to use ubuntu :)
[03:43] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: assuming you have samba server on your gentoo box
[03:43] <kahrytan> nickrud-> " Learning  Ubuntu has a steep learning curve but if you fall, you always got #ubuntu to catch you." makes a great ad.
[03:43] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Ahhhh ok
[03:43] <speeddemon8803> !alternative | jordan
[03:43] <Chrisbst1> I actually don't have a crossove cable right now....is there a way to just use a patch to go one way
[03:43] <ubotu> jordan: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD.  It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal
[03:43] <meekolope> Chrisbst1: unless you have a spare router/switch sitting around you can use
[03:43] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Open up /etc/samba/smb.conf on the gentoo box.
[03:43] <Jordan> i tried both but neither work
[03:43] <nickrud> kahrytan: lol, it definitely has potential
[03:43] <eko_hermiyanto> rpj8, ok then?
[03:43] <Jordan> fail to start X server
[03:43] <___Oz___> If I have things installed under ubuntu that aren't in xubuntu, it won't uninstall them by doing this (the install), right?
[03:43] <NigelS_> jtmoney: nmbd - the net bios daemon - windows networking is a pain in the neck at the best of times
[03:44] <kahrytan> nickrud->  or something to the fact.
[03:44] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Mind putting in pastebin.com what you have in that file right now?
[03:44] <Chrisbst1> but meek, isn't it possible to use a patch to just go one way? pulling the internet from lappy to Linner
[03:44] <jbalcaen_> hmm...its still going to the old gateway
[03:44] <nickrud> kahrytan: it's long but definitely true
[03:44] <NigelS_> jtmoney: essentially the directory isn't being maintained - you can get one machine to be the master browser on the network
[03:44] <eko_hermiyanto> rpj8, of course not, I will put it there
[03:44] <mesa_boys> hai
[03:44] <Soludra> rpj8: I've restarted and everything, and I still come up to a low-graphics mode notice.
[03:44] <jtmoney> NigelS_: you know, nmbd isn't even running on my machine
[03:44] <meekolope> Chrisbst1: if you have a router/switch inbetween the laptop/desktop then you could use patch cables
[03:45] <meekolope> Chrisbst1: but i believe if you are connecting straight through the two you need a cross over
[03:45] <NigelS_> jtmoney: you're probably not sharing files from your machine?
[03:45] <rpj8> Soludra: that's very odd. try switching back to the vesa driver and see if you still get the low-graphics mode notice.
[03:45] <Chrisbst1> otherwise no?
[03:45] <kahrytan> nickrud->  Or " You can't fail with Linux, #ubuntu won't let you"
[03:45] <DynV> Would someone please test Ekiga with me ?  I speak both English and French fluently, send me a private message.
[03:45] <meekolope> Chrisbst1: right, they are pretty cheap though
[03:45] <mike345> hi everyone, i think i need some help reconfiguring my network...i just installed some header updates that update manager had downloaded, and then lost connectivity to the internet (looks like dhcp isn't working anymore)...can someone please message me if you can help? thanks!
[03:45] <nickrud> kahrytan: that's excellent :)
[03:45] <jtmoney> NigelS_: no, i am, i can access files no problem
[03:45] <meekolope> Chrisbst1: i would guess you could get a 6 foot or so for like 10-15 bucks
[03:45] <jtmoney> NigelS_: do you want to look at my /etc/samba/smb.conf? :)
[03:46] <NigelS_> jtmoney: post it if you like
[03:46] <Jordan> i cant get the gui to work
[03:46] <NigelS_> jtmoney: what else is on your network?
[03:46] <Soludra> X_X
[03:46] <Jordan> it freezes on livecd boot
[03:46] <Chrisbst1> ok, I'm off to Fry's but I'll come back if I need any more help. Thanks meek, I appreciate it!
[03:46] <kahrytan> Jordan->  give us your computers specs?
[03:46] <meekolope> Chrisbst1: no problem
[03:46] <wng-> When I installed 7.10, my speaker output on my laptop is not recognized, I know it worked when i installed 6.10 on it awhile ago, anyone have any ideas?
[03:47] <jtmoney> NigelS_: http://jtmoney.biatches.org/samba/smb.conf
[03:47] <Jordan> nvidia 8600 gts pentium d 3 ghz 2gb ram
[03:47] <jtmoney> 3 other computers, 2 are running xp, 1 is running vista
[03:47] <kahrytan> Jordan->  and two, even if it freezes. let it continue. Eventually, error will show.
[03:47] <Jordan> k
[03:47] <Geoffrey2> Jordan, what's the last command you see before it freezes?
[03:47] <kahrytan> Jordan->  it may take long time
[03:48] <kahrytan> Geoffrey2->  freeze on startup
[03:48] <Jordan> it shows up X server error on regular cd
[03:48] <Jordan> then it goes to cli
[03:48] <kahrytan> Jordan-> and that is?
[03:48] <Syubi> Hello everybody
[03:48] <jbalcaen_> does anyone know how to change the address from where my dhcp discovers from ? Its still trying to discover fromt my work gateway and now I'm at home...so its a completely different gateway.
[03:49] <Jordan> apparently its the gui. gnome loads, but it wont show a gui
[03:49] <musikgoat> what is xubuntu's gksudo equivelent?
[03:49] <kahrytan> Jordan-> can you log out and start plain xwindows?
[03:50] <hacim> i upgraded to gutsy and now the update-manager is not in my menu bar, how do I get that back?
[03:50] <Jordan> no. it has no window programs or guis running. just command line
[03:50] <genii> musikgoat: Since XFCE also uses GTK, gksudo is what you still want
[03:50] <eko_hermiyanto> rpj8, done
[03:51] <eko_hermiyanto> I have put it in pastebin.com
[03:51] <eko_hermiyanto> with my name eko_hermiyanto
[03:51] <___Oz___> so...  I installed xubuntu.
[03:51] <Geoffrey2> so, does anyone here know how to set up a default optional flag in grub?
[03:51] <___Oz___> How do I... activate it?
[03:51] <rpj8> Heh, want to paste the url to it?
[03:51] <musikgoat> oh,  thanks genii
[03:51] <Syubi> what does su mean?
[03:51] <eko_hermiyanto> http://pastebin.com/d296951ab
[03:51] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Heh, want to paste the url to it?
[03:51] <genii> musikgoat: np
[03:51] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: thanks
[03:51] <___Oz___> geoggrey: optional default?  You want a certain OS to load every time by default?
[03:51] <___Oz___> geoffrey2 rather
[03:52] <Gun_Smoke> anyone tell me why the push seems to be apt-get instead to aptitude?
[03:52] <Gun_Smoke> in Ubuntu?
[03:52] <NigelS_> jtmoney: ok, what I think is happening: in the absence of a defined server for handling requests, windows machines jockey for position to become the local master browser - that is the machine that holds the directory of the names of the other machines on the network - what is probably happening is that your machine is querying and receiving replies from this machine but it then is either turned off or unavailable, at which point a new election takes place t
[03:52] <jtmoney> wow, that sucks
[03:52] <jtmoney> but thanks for the analysis :)
[03:52] <NigelS_> jtmoney: what you can do is set your own machine to always win elections - that is to say you can specify an oslevel in your smb.conf such that you should always win
[03:52] <jtmoney> ohh
[03:52] <UncleChevitz> I'm a linuxxx dummy trying to install Seamonkey from a .tar.gz;  I extracted it ok, and I can run the install file but i get error 624 "cant make destination dir, please try another file" should I create an empty dir to put it in ??
[03:52] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Good lord you have a TON of home directories on this thing
[03:52] <bluefox> i need some help with wireless, i do not have a wlan, i'm pretty sure i have the drivers for my atheros wifi card installed, i have madwifi, and there is no wireless connection option in system->administration->Network
[03:53] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Ok, you see the portion that starts off [03:53] <Geoffrey2> no, I need to add hpet=disable to the kernel line..supposedly it's possible to make that a default option so it doesn't get overwritten when the kernel image gets updated
[03:53] <eko_hermiyanto> rpj8, yes
[03:53] <jtmoney> NigelS_: okay, i'm going to google how to do that
[03:53] <bluefox> !wireless
[03:53] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:53] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: The words in [] are the ones you can mount
[03:53] <NigelS_> jtmoney: if you get nmbd up and running it will work to provide replies to other machines on the network - I'm not sure what oslevel vista gives itself
[03:53] <genii> Gun_Smoke: there are a bunch of commands that begin apt-   apt-get apt-cache apt-cdrom apt-mirror                  so it's somewhat nice syntax wise
[03:53] <___Oz___> !xubuntu
[03:53] <ubotu> Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels
[03:53] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: You can add another directory to that by using similar variables to that
[03:53] <blazinfire> is there a media application for linux thats like itune's for buying music?
[03:54] <mjw-> UncleChevitz sudo apt-get install iceape
[03:54] <eko_hermiyanto> rpj8, oh thanks dude, you are the al-mighty
[03:54] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Once you've done this, restart the samba daemon and boom, tough actin' tinactin.
[03:54] <Gun_Smoke> genii: That's it?
[03:54] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: Eh, I am but a humble script kiddie.
[03:54] <rpj8> eko_hermiyanto: But you are quite welcome
[03:54] <___Oz___> I installed Xubuntu per the instructions.  How do I "activate" it?
[03:54] <___Oz___> Ubuntu is still running.
[03:54] <NigelS_> jtmoney: also the command nmblookup can allow you to find the IP associated with a nmb name
[03:54] <meoblast001> can someone please tell me why this debian package wont install http://solutions.brother.com/Library/sol/printer/linux/rpmfiles/cups_wrapper/cupswrapperMFC5440CN-1.0.2-3.i386.deb
[03:55] <UncleChevitz> Thnx mjw but im a recovering windows user, I'm not sure what u mean
[03:55] <rpj8> ___Oz___: Log out, in the login manager, select session in the bottom left, choose an xfce session
[03:55] <genii> Gun_Smoke: There used to be more differences in how each app handled dependencies. But now they are nearly identical in this way so which one you use does not really matter
[03:55] <UncleChevitz> I'm running dapper
[03:56] <telexicon> Where can I find the 7.10 'Ubuntu Packaging Guide' in PDF?
[03:56] <mjw-> UncleChevitz iceape is the unbranded seamonkey in ubuntu. apt-get installs software for you. you can also use the 'synaptic package manager' in system > administration
[03:56] <Gun_Smoke> genii: I'd have to disagree with removing packages..
[03:56] <genii> Gun_Smoke: Since apt-get is also applicable to ALL *buntu it is a window-manager agnostic way
[03:56] <ahorriblemess> Hey everyone... back again
[03:56] <jtmoney> NigelS_: that worked... os level = 32 made it work
[03:56] <___Oz___> rpj8: how do I make the xfce session standard?
[03:56] <___Oz___> (thanks for the tip!)
[03:56] <UncleChevitz> Great, thats my ticket
[03:56] <Gun_Smoke> genii: I don't understand the last?
[03:56] <mjw-> UncleChevitz using apt-get or synaptic should result in an easy installation with the applications appearing in your applications menu
[03:56] <ahorriblemess> one question... I keep geting this "no pub key" message from medibuntu.... but it never stops me from updating or installing things. It just pops up. How do I make that stop happening?
[03:56] <nadz050> Why my external hd(usb v2) have read error on my pc (usb v1.1)?Help anyone
[03:57] <rpj8> ___Oz___: It should pop open a box is you're still using gdm to log in that asks if you want to make this session your default
[03:57] <genii> Gun_Smoke: kubuntu for instance installs Adept instead of Synaptic. But it can also use apt-get
[03:57] <jtmoney> NigelS_: thank you so much
[03:57] <Filtered> is there anyway of getting a pr0xy bypass on ubuntu/
[03:57] <NigelS_> jtmoney: cool - checkout /var/log/samba - you can watch things happening there, diagnose faults that you can never work out in windows - use tail -f or less with the follow cmd to watch etc
[03:57] <jimmygoon> Why can't I adjust margins w/ gedit?
[03:57] <genii> Gun_Smoke: So no matter which default window manager, GNOME, KDE etc apt-get at command-line is still apllicable
[03:58] <dapatrick> Is there a way to see a chronological package update release history?
[03:58] <dapatrick> Not based on what's installed, but the dates that the updates came available in the 'verses?
[03:58] <mjw-> !synaptic > UncleChevitz
[03:59] <UncleChevitz> Thnx, I can do that,
[03:59] <rpj8> dapatrick: It _is_ possible. I just don't know how at the moment =p
[03:59] <Gun_Smoke> genii: Ok... I just read that aptitude is the preferred package manager for debian.  Whats up what *buntu?
[03:59] <ahorriblemess> I mean, i don't understand why I would get an error message if I can still get updates and packages
[03:59] <rpj8> Gun_Smoke: I only use aptitude anymore.
[04:00] <rpj8> Gun_Smoke: I'd highly recommend it. Although the things that were wrong with apt I think have been changed.
[04:00] <jbalcaen_> does anyone know how I can completely wipe my network configuration ?
[04:00] <ahorriblemess> I've installed gutsy maybe 5 times, and I've received that message maybe 2/7 times of installing.. I'm assuming I did something in the wrong order or something
[04:00] <NigelS_> aptitude is nice - it weights solutions to package dependency problems
[04:01] <Z0d14k> I have compiz-fusion installed.  I am trying to make the ring switcher my default application switcher.  I can't bind alt-tab to next window (all workspaces).  I have disabled the shortcut everywhere I can find it (disabled the normal application switcher and changed shortcut in the settings manager).
[04:01] <genii> Gun_Smoke: aptitude has more features than apt-get, generally speaking. More info if yer interested can be found here: http://www.pthree.org/2007/08/12/aptitude-vs-apt-get/
[04:01] <rpj8> ahorriblemess: did you follow these instructions to a T?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[04:02] <jbalcaen_> does anyone know how I can completely wipe my network configuration ?
[04:02] <Gun_Smoke> After climbing the tree to debian I'm only using aptitude.. I'm just wondering why it is so pushed with every how to, help note, or the like.. And also trying to understand why one would be better than another.. And if true in what situation?

[04:06] <Gun_Smoke> sudo is stupid
[04:06] <ubotu> Syubi: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

[04:14] <RequinB4> what is the syntax for using grep so it searches for 2 phrases that need to be in the file but not necessarily close to each other?  I can use grep -r searchterm /directory but this searches for only one string
[04:14] <kahrytan> Syubi->  var/www sounds to me like apache install?

[04:15] <[dcr]> Dude, can someone tell me a program the works with Linux to actually burn movies since the dvd burner that comes with Ubuntu just burns data dvd's ?
[04:15] <eliasz> alexstorer, it just worked....make sure you select the right driver, and to enable effects you go to system - pref - appearance
[04:15] <rpj8> [dcr]: k3b is a good one.
[04:15] <Syubi> kahrytan: yes apache. and the other problem is that even when we copied the files with an expert friend the other day, at the end people didn't have rights to access it on the net.

[04:15] <bluefox> i seem to be missing my wlan0 among my internet interfaces...how do i create one?
[04:15] <ixian_> [dcr]: brasero, gnomebaker? i dont know if they support that though, but they are good burning programs.
[04:15] <genii> gah, winsock
[04:15] <[dcr]> i tried brasero and gnomebaker
[04:15] <alexstorer> eliasz, if you do [glxinfo | grep direct] what do you get?
[04:15] <usser> RequinB4: why not just use grep phrase1 | grep phrase2
[04:16] <rpj8> [dcr]: You should try k3b, which I suggested.
[04:16] <kahrytan> rpj8->  k3b does data dvds
[04:16] <eliasz> alexstorer, direct rendering: Yes
[04:16] <RequinB4> usser: would that work? is my question
[04:16] <[dcr]> but Im trying to burn files such as mpeg, avi, mpg and ect to DVD Movies and ----NOT---- DATA DVD'S
[04:16] <genii> usser: Because the two phrases may nor be contained within each other
[04:16] <Z0d14k> usser/RequinB4:  Why not user grep "phrase1\|phrase2" ?
[04:16] <rpj8> kahrytan: Yeah but it does movie disks as well.
[04:16] <rpj8> I've done it before.
[04:16] <usser> genii: oh...
[04:16] <RequinB4> i want it to search for string1 U string2
[04:16] <usser> genii: then he needs something else not grep
[04:16] <NigelS_> root___: I believe you can bind a mac address to a particular interface by configuring udev - possibly this is made available with gconf also but I can't try that right now- take a look at /etc/udev/rules.d
[04:16] <kahrytan> [dcr]->  dvd menu?
[04:17] <genii> RequinB4: That will work if phrase2 can be founs withing the larger context of phrase1 in the example he gave
[04:17] <[dcr]> no, a MOVIE DVD, where i can pop it in a DVD Player and watch the movie
[04:17] <[dcr]> and not a DVD player
[04:17] <rpj8> [dcr]: http://gecius.de/linux/dvd.html
[04:17] <[dcr]> ugh DATA DVD *
[04:17] <[dcr]> i mean
[04:17] <rpj8> [dcr]: Give this a look see.
[04:17] <kahrytan> [dcr]->  so you dont need a dvd menu. I reccomend devade
[04:17] <kahrytan> !info devade
[04:17] <ubotu> Package devade does not exist in gutsy
[04:18] <bruenig> devede
[04:18] <kahrytan> !info devede

[04:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about devede - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:18] <RequinB4> genii: ok, that's not what i'm looking for.  Program should return true if and only if phrase1 and phrase 2 are present in the file
[04:18] <alexstorer> eliasz, i disabled effects, i'm going to restart x and see if i have direct rendering and will come back here.
[04:18] <scott> can someone help me with my ipod... i keep trying to connect it in amarok and it tells me it failed to create a lockfile
[04:18] <RequinB4> If grep can't do it, i don't know
[04:18] <piojoo> hey
[04:18] <kahrytan> [dcr]->  for plain dvds without menu, devede i believe is the best
[04:19] <piojoo> can someone help me? i can't run quake4 on wine... :S
[04:19] <rpj8> piojoo: Run it... natively then.

[04:19] <eliasz> :S
[04:19] <Z0d14k> RequinB4:  What are you trying to do with grep?  I missed the original question.
[04:19] <kahrytan> piojoo->  doh moment there eg?
[04:19] <DynV> Would someone please test Ekiga with me ?  I speak both English and French fluently, send me a private message.
[04:19] <eliasz> you loaded with my xorg.conf alexstorer ?
[04:19] <RequinB4> usser: yeah, i guess a script would work
[04:20] <kahrytan> piojoo->  quake engines are open sourced.
[04:20] <genii> RequinB4: Make grep behave as egrep. eg:     grep -e pattern_one -e pattern_two filename
[04:20] <eliasz> does anyone know why snort would say that the preprocessor frag2 is unknown? everywhere i read it says its packaged with snort..
[04:20] <kahrytan> piojoo->  So there is games like tremulous that run off quake based engine
[04:20] <alexstorer> eliasz, i didn't use your xorg.  i just turned off effects, but i'll use your xorg and try again.
[04:20] <bluefox> !device manager

[04:34] <alexstorer> eliasz, what else should i back up (aside from xorg.conf) before messing with systemsettings?
[04:34] <RequinB4> grep -r -e term1 -e term2 /directory gives me files with either term1 OR term2, i want term1 AND term2 :(
[04:34] <alexstorer> eliasz, no worries. :)  good luck on your assignment!

[04:36] <DoubleDew> anyone know why firefox would ask me to download a .php file versus displaying it?
[04:36] <Starnestommy> DoubleDew: the server isn't parsing it.
[04:36] <furythor> I am trying to run ut2004 and I get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55942/ what can cause that ?

[04:37] <olskolirc> help?
[04:37] <UncleChevitz> reading package tree...building dependancy...couldnt find package iceape
[04:37] <Starnestommy> DoubleDew: I think it has to be in /var/www/cgi-bin
[04:38] <DoubleDew> Starnestommy: no, not on my buddies server it didnt
[04:38] <DoubleDew> Starnestommy: do you know if there are issues with php5?  thats what i have installed
[04:39] <mjw-> UncleChevitz in synaptic, make sure you have Settings > Repositories   set so that main, universe, and multiverse are all enabled
[04:39] <mjw-> UncleChevitz iceape specifically is in universe
[04:39] <Kalir> How do I switch Mozilla from using Gnash?
[04:39] <indah> inndah
[04:40] <mjw-> Kalir close mozilla, sudo apt-get remove gnash   should do it
[04:40] <Starnestommy> DoubleDew: I think I was somehow able to make it work the way it did for them, but I don't remamber how.  #apache or ##php might be able to help, though
[04:40] <RequinB4> The actual package name is iceape-browser
[04:40] <indah> indah
[04:40] <Kalir> Ah, okay. Hang on.
[04:40] <UncleChevitz> I'm running 6.06, its updated, and I have all the binary repositories open
[04:41] <usser> DoubleDew: had that, check if you have index.php in your DirectoryIndex in apache2.conf
[04:41] <mjw-> UncleChevitz ah, that's probably the issue. 6.06 probably doesn't have an iceape package
[04:41] <Kalir> Second question. What would be a suitable flash player instead of gnash?
[04:41] <mjw-> Kalir the non-free flash plugin.
[04:41] <RequinB4> grep -r -e term1 -e term2 /directory gives me files with either term1 OR term2, i want term1 AND term2.  grep -r term1\|term2 /directory gives me all false negatives.

[04:45] <Jack_Sparrow> neo: I think there is an option in gconf-editor  under apps-metacity but sure exactly where
[04:45] <Survivorman> open gconf-editor, and i think it's under apps then nautilus then desktop
[04:45] <Syubi> i think i was told my university wouldn't allow direct connections and that i should get accredited with a computer in the vpn or something like that..
[04:45] <Survivorman> it's under nautilus Jack_Sparrow
[04:45] <olskolirc> how do I force uninstall kde4 and kde4-core please?  my repositories are messed up

[04:51] <chris062689> no.
[04:51] <jay-oh-en> whats eexubuntu
[04:51] <chris062689> it's not offical.
[04:51] <chris062689> -_-
[04:51] <emma> what about just putting xubuntu on the eee?
[04:51] <aO|DarkB-DX> When im browsing in a Folder and i want to open the folder in terminal, how do i do that? (kubuntu had a button to open folder in terminal) I ask  because it is really hard to navigate 30 directories on a MOUNTED HD
[04:51] <Kalir> The video won't play, but it tells me it's installed. Which is funny, because I try to apt-get it and it goes through it and then ends up saying "The Flash plugin is NOT installed." Well that does me a lot of good.
[04:52] <emma> Xandros already comes on the EEE, if you don't care if it's Ubuntu why not just leave Xandros on it?

[04:55] <aO|DarkB-DX> When im browsing in a Folder and i want to open the folder in terminal, how do i do that? (kubuntu had a button to open folder in terminal) I ask  because it is really hard to navigate 30 directories on a MOUNTED HD
[04:55] <mark4> its in /usr/share/git
[04:55] <___Oz___> and totem still says, "I don't have the codec to play this divx file".
[04:55] <indah> indah
[04:55] <telexicon> mark4, apt-get install git-core
[04:55] <RequinB4> grep -r -e term1 -e term2 /directory gives me files with either term1 OR term2, i want term1 AND term2.  grep -r term1\|term2 /directory gives me all false negatives.  grep -r term1 /directory | grep -r term2 /directory gives a true-postive for both and a false-postiive (term 2 only). grep -e -r term1 /directory | grep -e -r term2 gives true-postive and false-positive (term 1 only).  grep -e -r term1 /directory | grep -e -r term2 /dir
[04:55] <mark4> i dont think THAT is the executable
[04:55] <mark4> !
[04:55] <mark4> lol
[04:55] <mark4> that might be it
[04:55] <telexicon> mark4, git == gnu interactive tools
[04:56] <___Oz___> it says I need plugin "DivX 5"
[04:56] <___Oz___> what's that
[04:56] <RequinB4> I should get a pastebin for that -.-
[04:56] <emma> ___Oz___,  try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:56] <telexicon> mark4, git-core == Linus Torvald's distributed source control system
[04:56] <meekolope> telexicon: is it not a exec?
[04:56] <mark4> argh why do we have two things called git. i saw that before... i shud have realised. gentoo has the same problem
[04:56] <mark4> yea
[04:56] <mark4> actually, linus shud just use svn :P
[04:56] <piojoo> can someone help me? i have a problem with virtua tennis 3 and wine... the installation worked perfectly, but it just won't work :-/
[04:56] <telexicon> mark4, I refer you to his google talk on why SVN is bad
[04:56] <___Oz___> medibuntu?  yeah, already did that.
[04:57] <telexicon> meekolope, i never use GNU Interactive Tools
[04:57] <Survivorman> are you trying to play something on the web?
[04:57] <Kalir> ...Problem.
[04:57] <mark4> svn is bad? lol
[04:57] <mark4> ill go search for taht one
[04:57] <meekolope> telexicon: oh ok
[04:57] <kaushal> hi
[04:57] <telexicon> mark4, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 -- google tech talk
[04:57] <mark4> personally i think svn is the single greatest version control ever devised and ive used ALOT of diff ones over th eyears
[04:57] <Kalir> ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the Adobe Flash Player installer.
[04:58] <kaushal> i want to disable networking services while bootup
[04:58] <kaushal> how can i do that
[04:58] <Kalir> DANGER WILL SMITH, DANGER
[04:58] <telexicon> mark4, heres another possibly less biased google tech talk on git: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3999952944619245780
[04:58] <indah> indah
[04:58] <mark4> ok lol
[04:58] <indah> indah
[04:58] <indah> indah
[04:59] <telexicon> thats strange
[04:59] <emma> ___Oz___,  did you install the w32codecs ?
[04:59] <Kalir> Survivorman: Hit a bit of a snag.
[04:59] <Kalir> ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the Adobe Flash Player installer.
[05:00] <usser> Kalir: download tar.gz from adobe's site
[05:00] <telexicon> mark4, well i think git promotes some really cool workflows
[05:00] <FloodBot2> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[05:00] <usser> Kalir: extract it somewhere
[05:00] <emma> ___Oz___,  did you install the w32codecs?
[05:00] <Kalir> usser: Did that. I ran the installer from the terminal, and it just spits that error at me.
[05:00] <indah> indah
[05:00] <visof> hello
[05:00] <usser> Kalir: no not the installer theres tar.gz file there
[05:01] <indah> indah
[05:01] <indah> indah
[05:01] <indah> indah
[05:01] <visof> how can i know who in the lan with me at certain time ?
[05:01] <emma> okay i tried to help, no response, goodnight.
[05:01] <Survivorman> i think you can just move the plugin to your plugins folder manually and it will work
[05:01] <telexicon> mark4, and it is Linus's opinion that centralized source control (like SVN) wouldnt be able to handle something as high traffic and distributed as the linux kernel
[05:01] <genii> @time Toronto
[05:01] <ubotu> Current time in America/Toronto: February 14 2008, 00:01:42 - Next meeting: Desktop Team in 8 hours 58 minutes
[05:01] <Survivorman> sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
[05:02] <mark4> telexicon, erm im not sure thats correct tho. i think svn can handle large projects like that
[05:02] <Survivorman> make sure you're in the directory where the flashplugin is located
[05:02] <meekolope> visof: what do u mean? by ip address or user names or what
[05:02] <neo> another query....     when i plug in the pin of my headphone in computer jack the pc speaker doesnot mute        laptop hp 9601au
[05:02] <telexicon> mark4, for social reasons, not technical ones
[05:02] <indah> indah
[05:02] <usser> Kalir: well yea right installer just dont run it,
[05:02] <ljsmithx> When I try to send an E-Mail via Thunderbird I get a "relay not permitted" message, does anybody know how to fix this? My E-Mail is at Adam Internet and my ISP is AAPT
[05:02] <piojoo> can someone help me? i have a problem with virtua tennis 3 and wine... the installation worked perfectly, but it just won't work :-/
[05:02] <piojoo> can someone help me? i have a problem with virtua tennis 3 and wine... the installation worked perfectly, but it just won't work :-/
[05:02] <Dekkard> Question.. after the last kernel update, when i try to start a gnome session, I get just a blank screen..no taskbar..no popups nothing..any ideas?
[05:02] <telexicon> mark4, its not that SVN couldnt handle that throughput, its just a system which would require 1300 developers all the have access to the same codebase would be.. a crazy mess
[05:02] <usser> Kalir: theres libflashplayer.so file in the same directory with installer
[05:02] <mark4> oh. that sounds evein fishier lol
[05:03] <ifireball> visof: depends on how the LAN is configured and what would you call "on the lan with you", the most accurate way is probably to use a network scanning tool such as nmap
[05:03] <Kalir> Okay, I copied the file in question.
[05:03] <Kalir> libflashplayer.so
[05:03] <Survivorman> using firefox?
[05:03] <Kalir> Ja.
[05:03] <mark4> telexicon, well then they need to split the kernel into common code base, system specific code base and drivers
[05:03] <usser> Kalir: hang on 1 sec
[05:03] <ljsmithx> When I try to send an E-Mail via Thunderbird I get a "relay not permitted" message, does anybody know how to fix this? My E-Mail is at Adam Internet and my ISP is AAPT
[05:03] <mark4> and have each one on their own repository
[05:03] <Survivorman> ok
[05:03] <Survivorman> restart firefox and test
[05:04] <mark4> and they really do need to stop making me download PPC sources for my x86 box
[05:04] <telexicon> mark4, well they found a better solution, distributed source control (which is what git does)
[05:04] <Kalir> Hokay.
[05:04] <Survivorman> did it work?
[05:04] <mark4> my boss has a saying.  "it is what it is"
[05:04] <mark4> and for linux sources... its git :P
[05:04] <telexicon> mark4, and for xorg sources its git
[05:04] <telexicon> mark4, and for KDE sources its git
[05:05] <usser> Kalir: now do sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[05:05] <Survivorman> i think he did... i told him earlier
[05:05] <ljsmithx> can anyone help? i need to send emails
[05:05] <usser> Kalir: after that sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper
[05:05] <mark4> ok well i think kde is bloatware but i recently switched to using it simply so i could have compiz (you couldnt PAY me to run gnome :)
[05:05] <Survivorman> i never even have to install it
[05:05] <mark4> kde is liveable even with its bloat
[05:05] <usser> Kalir: restart firefox and u should have working flashplayer
[05:05] <mike> ljsmithx: what kind of email account do you have
[05:06] <telexicon> mark4, oh.. i run gnome
[05:06] <PaPaFD> I have a 10 second hardrive hdb1  that is not set up right anyone here that could help?
[05:06] <Dekkard> Question.. after the last kernel update, when i try to start a gnome session, I get just a blank screen..no taskbar..no popups nothing..any ideas?
[05:06] <Geoffrey2> ok, one last time....does anyone know how to set default options in menu.lst?
[05:06] <Survivorman> usser what does nspluginwrapper do? I never install it and flash works fine
[05:06] <nickrud> kaushal: what kind of networking setup do you have?
[05:06] <PaPaFD> I have a 10  gig second hardrive hdb1  that is not set up right anyone here that could help?
[05:06] <mark4> telexicon, for over 10 years ive run NOTHING but windowmaker. if they were still bothering to develop it I would probably not have switched
[05:06] <Kalir> I've got the newest version of nspluginwrapper anyhow.
[05:06] <Kalir> Testing firefox now...
[05:06] <kaushal> nickrud: I have to connect to Internet through pppoe
[05:06] <usser> Survivorman: its a workaround for 64bit firefox
[05:06] <mark4> i tried e17 but someone asked me to help them install compiz and i was soooo blown away i broke down and installed kde lol
[05:06] <telexicon> mark4, ah.. so you are one of those non-changers huh
[05:07] <nickrud> kaushal: a cable modem?
[05:07] <usser> Survivorman: if u have 32 bit version of ubuntu u dont need it
[05:07] <Survivorman> ah... thanks kalir
[05:07] <kaushal> nickrud: yeah
[05:07] <Survivorman> i mean usser
[05:07] <kaushal> ADSL 2 Modem
[05:07] <usser> Kalir: then u should have flash working now
[05:07] <mark4> telexicon, im a heretic. im a software engineer who "hates" c.  i wrote a forth compiler for linux in 100% pure assembler lol
[05:07] <raiin> I love asm
[05:07] <ste-foy> I love raiin
[05:07] <Kalir> Nnnnope. Still not working.
[05:07] <raiin> write highly advanced software in masm
[05:08] <telexicon> masm always looks like masochism
[05:08] <nickrud> kaushal: are you sure you can't have the modem handle the pppoe, and just use dhcp to connect to the modem itself?
[05:08] <mark4> if the site hosting it still existed you could check it out. i compile over 2 megs of source code per second
[05:08] <jimlay> join /debian
[05:08] <Survivorman> where did you move the plugin?
[05:08] <jimlay> oops
[05:08] <Geoffrey2> sigh....and probably insanely easy to do, if I can find someone who knows how.....
[05:08] <raiin> just can develop alot faster than with c/c++ even though have been a c/c++ developer a good 10 years
[05:08] <mark4> i just developed an 8051 assembler, disassembler, and SIMULATOR all in 100% PURE forth
[05:08] <usser> Kalir: huh... do cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[05:09] <neo> another query....     when i plug in the pin of my headphone in computer jack the pc speaker doesnot mute        laptop hp 9601au
[05:09] <nickrud> mark4: forth? my gosh, I haven't heard about anyone using that in ... decades!
[05:09] <Kalir> cp'd it to /usr/lib/browser-plugins and /usr/lib/firefox/plugins.
[05:09] <usser> Kalir: do ls -al *flash*
[05:09] <usser> Kalir: tell me what u get
[05:09] <telexicon> mark4, python is my friend
[05:09] <Survivorman> browser-plugins was a generic... i didn't know which browser you were using
[05:09] <raiin> nice mark4!
[05:09] <Kalir> Yeah, the libflashplayer.so file is there.
[05:09] <kaushal> nickrud: how can i proceed
[05:10] <nickrud> mark4: my only question: can anyone else read it? rflol
[05:10] <Biblio> hello. i need to contact mark shuttleworth. i tried the contact email in his blog (claire newman at canonical), but apparently nobody there. could anyone pass me his adress, or get me closer? thanks.
[05:10] <telexicon> mark4, could you make us a nice open source flash implementation?
[05:10] <usser> Kalir: are there are any other files that seem like flash plugins
[05:10] <mark4> nickrud you might hear more about it. chuck moore is developing 21 or is it 24 core cpus that are ultra low power and execute BILLIONS of opcodes per second
[05:10] <n2diy> When I double click on an Abiword file in Nautilus, Gedit opens it, how can I change that to default to Abitword?
[05:10] <Kalir> Nothing else got turned up by that command.
[05:10] <mark4> telexicon give me a spec for flash
[05:10] <n2diy> *Abiword
[05:10] <usser> Kalir: did u restart firefox after u copied that file there
[05:10] <telexicon> mark4, eh.. well theres an issue with that
[05:10] <Kalir> Yep.
[05:10] <nickrud> kaushal: try pointing your browser at the gateway address
[05:10] <Survivorman> n2diy i think you can change it by left clicking on the doc and changing it there
[05:10] <Decamerone> right click on the file in nautilus, go to "open with" and chooes abiword
[05:10] <mark4> nickrud i wish the hosting site were still online, i have had numerous non asm / non forthers tell me they CAN read my code
[05:11] <PaPaFD> Having trouble getting a second internal hardrive to mount correctly.   Gives  me it is restricted to Sys Admins If i type in my paswd then it will mount  would like to share it on my Samba server but can not change permissions  any ideas?
[05:11] <Decamerone> This should change it for all the files of that type
[05:11] <mark4> i got to extreme lengths to make my code readable. even at the expense of efficiency
[05:11] <tritium> !offtopic
[05:11] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:11] <Decamerone> Oh, I mean, right click and choose properties - then open with
[05:11] <nickrud> mark4: I'm impressed. Write once read never was coined to describe forth
[05:11] <Kalir> Nothing else in the plugin folder is related to flash.
[05:11] <piojoo> can someone help me? i have a problem with virtua tennis 3 and wine... the installation worked perfectly, but it just won't work :-/
[05:12] <piojoo> can someone help me? i have a problem with virtua tennis 3 and wine... the installation worked perfectly, but the game just won't work :-/
[05:12] <usser> Kalir: oh my bad forgot u have to enable it with nspluginwrapper
[05:12] <nickrud> kaushal: for my asdl modems it's been 192.168.0.1 , 1.1 , 0.254, and 1.254
[05:12] <tritium> piojoo: no need to repeat
[05:13] <mark4> nickrud and it was coined by c coders and i have extreme difficulty wading thru 20 page switch statemetns nested to the umpteenth level with NO comments lol... c coders are some of the worst ive ever had to deal with (yes sorry... there ARE exceptions)
[05:13] <usser> Kalir: do sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[05:13] <mark4> but c as a whole is VERY difficult to read. you literally have to be familiar with craploads of obscure obfuscated header files.
[05:13] <mark4> but someone is gona complain about OT chat any second
[05:13] <nickrud> mark4: I'm interested because forth was my first language. If you ever do put it up somewhere I'd like to see how much I remember
[05:14] <Survivorman> piojoo, which version of wine do you have? according to winehq, newer versions of wine should play virtual tennis 3 with no problems
[05:14] <n2diy> Survivorman: , Decamerone ok, that's a hassle, I think adding .abw will work? I assumed Abiword added its extension when I saved the file.
[05:14] <mark4> nickrud hang on
[05:14] <Kalir> nspluginwrapper: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins is not a valid NPAPI plugin
[05:14] <TKingdom> Does anyone know of an applet of some sort that tells how much a program is using by hovering over the icon?
[05:14] <neo> another query....     when i plug in the pin of my headphone in computer jack the pc speaker doesnot mute        laptop hp 9601au
[05:14] <usser> Kalir: do sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[05:14] <Kalir> Did I write the parameters in reverse?
[05:14] <TKingdom> How much Memory a program is using...
[05:14] <PaPaFD> Having trouble getting a second internal hardrive to mount correctly.   Gives  me it is restricted to Sys Admins If i type in my paswd then it will mount  would like to share it on my Samba server but can not change permissions  any ideas?
[05:14] <usser> Kalir: the whole thing
[05:14] <mark4> nickrud can you accept dcc?
[05:15] <mark4> erm can i even send one lol
[05:15] <Kalir> Even the do in the beginning?
[05:15] <genii> piojoo: Please ask in the #winehq channel, this is not an Ubuntu tech support question.
[05:15] <nickrud> mark4: don't know, give it a try :)
[05:15] <n2diy> Survivorman: , Decamerone ok, that' was the trick, it works now.
[05:15] <mark4> tell me if you see it
[05:16] <Survivorman> no kalir
[05:16] <nickrud> I see nothing
[05:16] <mark4> nickrud what forth did you learn?
[05:16] <nickrud> mark4: figforth
[05:16] <Kalir> Okay, I did that and it says it's an invalid NPAPI plugin.
[05:16] <mark4> cool
[05:16] <usser> Kalir: nope arrrg one sec
[05:16] <squidly> does anyone know if xorg 1.4 is in aptitue?
[05:16] <nickrud> squidly: no
[05:16] <piojoo> thanx genii
[05:16] <nickrud> squidly: in gutsy, anyway
[05:17] <mark4> is a file thats 377417 bytes large be too large to email?
[05:17] <UncleChevitz> !update
[05:17] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:17] <genii> mark4: Definitely not
[05:17] <nickrud> mark4: not really, I get much bigger ones at my work email, a sec I'll pm
[05:17] <mark4> k
[05:17] <squidly> nickrud: that's that I though. is there a testing package I can use. I'm having an issue with xforwarding.
[05:17] <n2diy> How can I restart/reset a comm port? Every couple of weeks my external modem appears to be busy to Ubuntu. Even when I disconnect  the modem, kppp tells me it is busy, so it seems to be a software issue?
[05:18] <nickrud> kaushal: I'm not evens sure what that means :)
[05:19] <Nekro> Help! I downloaded clamav-0.92.1.tar.gz and when I tried to build it got this error: "Please install zlib and zlib-devel packages" but I already have installed zlib1g-dev and zlibc. Any idea??
[05:19] <squidly> i'm getting a "the error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'." When ever I try to start xterm or gvim
[05:19] <nickrud> kaushal: I used to control my pppoe by using pppoeconf to set it up; then running  sudo pon and sudo poff to start/stop it. it didn't come up with the computer that way
[05:19] <jrib> Nekro: why are you installing clam?
[05:19] <UncleChevitz> I want to upgrade from 6.06, but it says I neet to be "root", how do I do that?
[05:19] <usser> Kalir: hm it should work
[05:19] <jrib> !upgrade > unclechevitz (read the private message from ubotu)
[05:19] <usser> Kalir: try doing that from the directory u have unpacked installer to
[05:20] <n2diy> ! upgrade
[05:20] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:20] <Kalir> I reversed it and it gave somewhat more logical but still error-ish output.
[05:20] <Nekro> 'cos I need to scan some files I'm gonna send to a partners and they use Virus XP
[05:20] <razordead> How do I get gEdit to save a file with DOS/Windows line endings?
[05:20] <Kalir> Namely, no appropriate viewer found for libflashplayer.so
[05:20] <usser> Kalir: wait wheres your installer?
[05:20] <Survivorman> usser, would mv instead of cp matter with the plugin?
[05:20] <bluefox83> is there some reasno i can't find ndiswrapper in the repos?
[05:20] <Survivorman> i would think not
[05:20] <jrib> Nekro: clam is in the repositories.  Is there a reason you are not using that?
[05:20] <usser> Survivorman: nah it doesnt matter
[05:20] <Kalir> I went back to the install_flash_player_9_linux dir.
[05:21] <jrib> !info clamav | Nekro
[05:21] <ubotu> nekro: clamav (source: clamav): antivirus scanner for Unix. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.91.2-3ubuntu2.3 (gutsy), package size 856 kB, installed size 1284 kB
[05:21] <usser> Kalir: cool, now whats the full path to that dir?
[05:22] <Kalir> /home/kalir/install_flash_player_9_linux
[05:22] <bluefox83> !ndiswrapper
[05:22] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:22] <usser> Kalir: nice then sudo nspluginwrapper -i /home/kalir/install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so
[05:23] <Nekro> mmm, oohh. Is there any problem with using a version older than the latest release???
[05:23] <Kalir> Okay, that didn't spit out any scary errors. What next?
[05:23] <jrib> Nekro: not if it is still supported
[05:23] <meekolope> oooo
[05:23] <UncleChevitz> I followed the UpgradeNotes instructions, the alternative is using apt-get, which it recommends against, it doesn't say anything about needing to be a super-user
[05:23] <bluefox83> I need some help, in Network settings, there is no wireless connection selection, i need to figure out how to put one in there
[05:24] <usser> Kalir: thats basically it, but u should delete that file we copied to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[05:24] <Kalir> So wait, lemme guess this one...
[05:24] <usser> Kalir: ie sudo rm /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[05:24] <tritium> usser: why are you not helping him install the flashplugin-nonfree package instead?
[05:24] <jrib> UncleChevitz: doesn't it say to use update-manager?
[05:24] <usser> tritium: because its broken
[05:24] <Kalir> tritium: Tried that already, anyhow.
[05:24] <tritium> usser: not any longer
[05:24] <Survivorman> he has 64 bit system
[05:24] <Kalir> Okay, here goes something.
[05:24] <tritium> ah, 64 bit...
[05:25] <Nekro> Ok. I got scared when I saw this message: WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
[05:25] <razordead> flashplugin-nonfree has been fixed for at least a week
[05:25] <UncleChevitz> says to run from alt-F2 or terminal
[05:25] <Kalir> Success!
[05:25] <Nekro> when I installed 0.91.2
[05:25] <Kalir> Thanks, chums!
[05:25] <jrib> it's not broken on 64bit either (installs fine here from -updates repo)
[05:25] <usser> Kalir: cool
[05:26] <tritium> jrib: good.  Too bad Kalir left...
[05:27] <tritium> usser: if you think flashplugin-nonfree is broken, perhaps you've not enabled the -updates repo?
[05:27] <Nekro> I have one more question: Is squid package built with transparent proxy enabled ??
[05:28] <usser> tritium: no its enabled its been quite some time since i installed it though, besides the guy said it didnt work for him so i assumed it was still broken
[05:28] <tritium> usser: okay
[05:28] <YourNameHere> Is there some gnome applet that will let me change my cpu frequency as I choose?
[05:29] <Syubi> Hey guys, I'm on Ubuntu!
[05:29] <Invizibil> hey YourNameHere
[05:29] <Some_Person> How do I convert a video to use the Cinepak codec?
[05:29] <Invizibil> you can do it with cpu-freq package
[05:30] <pawan_> how to install tar.gz file
[05:30] <Invizibil> i have a Turion 64 ML32 but the governor is sort of stuck
[05:30] <Invizibil> check up on cpu-freq
[05:31] <Some_Person> anyone know?
[05:32] <pawan_> how to install tar.gz file
[05:32]  * Geoffrey2 sighs in total exasperation
[05:32] <Starnestommy> pawan_: what's the file for?

[05:33] <pawan_> how to change nick name
[05:34] <meekolope> pawan: you downloaded a tar.gz file you are trying to install?
[05:34] <Starnestommy> pawan_: /nick nickname
[05:34] <pawan_> i am downloading
[05:34] <pawan_> but how to install
[05:34] <Survivorman> it's songbird, so you just need to unpack it and run songbird
[05:34] <Survivorman> it requires no installation
[05:34] <meekolope> pawan: once its downloaded
[05:34] <pawan1234> ok
[05:35] <meekolope> pawan: you need to unpack it and then compile it, using the commands as follows
[05:35] <^cLuBk|d^> where can I found the resolv.conf file in ubunto?
[05:35] <corporeal> is there any way to quickly revert my ubuntu installation to what was installed to begin with?
[05:35] <^cLuBk|d^> ive tried at /etc/ it isnt there
[05:35] <Starnestommy> ^cLuBk|d^: /etc/resolv.conf
[05:35] <meekolope> pawan: from the command line: tar -zxf thepackage.tar
[05:35] <Nutubuntu> Hello all - did anyone else get Error 13 when rebooting after the kernel upgrade today?
[05:35] <Geoffrey2> one last time....I need to add the option hpet=disable to the kernel line in menu.lst, supposedly there's some way to enter it so it's a default option that won't get overwritten every time the kernel is updated.....anyone have any ideas?
[05:36] <Some_Person> How do I reencode a video to use the Cinepak codec?
[05:36] <Syubi> How do I check in Ubuntu what IP a certain URL has?
[05:36] <meekolope> pawan: when its done, change directories into the new one created with the unpacked files then type 'make'
[05:36] <barnaby> hi
[05:36] <Starnestommy> Syubi: dig domain.name
[05:36] <meekolope> pawan: then 'make install'
[05:36] <Survivorman> no pawan
[05:36] <Survivorman> don't do that
[05:37] <egc__> barnaby: hi
[05:37] <pawan12> then
[05:37] <meekolope> and why not
[05:37] <Survivorman> it doesn't need installation
[05:37] <meekolope> ?
[05:37] <Survivorman> it's a mozilla download
[05:37] <meekolope> what package is it
[05:37] <meekolope> ooooh
[05:37] <Survivorman> like songbird
[05:37] <Survivorman> it's songbird
[05:37] <meekolope> my bad
[05:37] <Survivorman> just switch to the directory and run songbird
[05:37] <meekolope> is it just an add on?
[05:37] <Rictoo_> eix x11
[05:37] <Rictoo_> erm
[05:37] <Rictoo_> oops
[05:37] <pawan12> ok
[05:37] <Survivorman> no, but when it downloads, the folder is ready to go
[05:38] <Survivorman> after extracting it

[05:38] <meekolope> oh ok
[05:38] <meekolope> my bad i must have not read your whole post pawan
[05:38] <Syubi> how do I access the terminal please?
[05:38] <egc__> barnaby did you get that file?
[05:38] <Hammer89> how do you create shortcuts for using in the terminal? like... say I want to just type "apt" instead of "aptitude"... I seem to recall something about editing the /etc/bash.bashrc file... but I don't recall if that was distro specific or not... or how I'd actually modify it
[05:38] <ihmSelbst> @gfx
[05:38] <meekolope> thanks Survivor
[05:38] <pawan12> thanks
[05:38] <Survivorman> np
[05:38] <Starnestommy> Syubi: Applications > Accessories > Terminal, I think
[05:39] <Syubi> Starnestommy: thanks, it's there
[05:39] <viktor> how do i unamount a drive
[05:39] <Nutubuntu> Hammer89, you could look for a project called (I think) Autokey - an attempt to port Autohotkey to Linux
[05:39] <viktor> it tells me i got no prevliages
[05:39] <meekolope> viktor, you might have to be root
[05:39] <Starnestommy> viktor: sudo umount /mount/point
[05:39] <meekolope> right
[05:39] <viktor> how do i find the mount point
[05:39] <usser> Hammer89: yea .bashrc
[05:39] <meekolope> type mount
[05:40] <usser> Hammer89: syntax is alias ll='ls -l'
[05:40] <Starnestommy> it works with mount points and device nodes
[05:40] <usser> Hammer89: theres examples there close to the end
[05:40] <Hammer89> usser: I just had it open and didn't see anything...
[05:40] <Some_Person> How do I reencode a video to use the Cinepak codec?
[05:40] <usser> Hammer89: is it empty?
[05:40] <viktor> dev/sda2 etc is that it and can i just copy paste it
[05:41] <usser> Hammer89: well try adding some simple alias see if it works
[05:41] <Hammer89> usser: no
[05:41] <meekolope> viktor, is it a flash drive?
[05:41] <Hammer89> usser: it's not empty
[05:41] <meekolope> viktor, aka jump drive
[05:41] <viktor> nah my windows partition
[05:41] <timandtom> Hmm... Is there anyway to have like, bookmarks for your favorite IRC chats? Xchat
[05:41] <phroughy> um, are the ubuntu servers dead?
[05:41] <kaushal> hi
[05:41] <phroughy> ubuntu.com is dead, and updates aren't working....
[05:41] <pawan12> hi
[05:42] <meekolope> viktor, copy and paste your whole output from 'mount'
[05:42] <viktor> including wat is in the brackets at the end
[05:42] <kaushal> I have issues with connecting to the internet, I am running ubuntu 7.04
[05:42] <Hammer89> usser: can you write an example for me using aptitude?
[05:42] <meekolope> viktor, just the whole output yes
[05:42] <Hammer89> usser: making the shortcut be "apt"
[05:42] <Survivorman> timandtom: do you mean like while using xchat, shortcuts for this chat, for example?
[05:42] <usser> Hammer89: sure alias apt='aptitude'
[05:42] <meekolope> viktor, so i can see your computers setup
[05:42] <damion> hey all, what do people use for par2 and rar achieves off of the newsgroups?
[05:43] <Nutubuntu> I ran the kernel update earlier today, and when I rebooted, I got Error 13 -- is there any way to recover from this besides reinstalling?
[05:43] <viktor> where u want me to paste it
[05:43] <timandtom> Survivorman: Like, in firefox, you click on bookmarks, then click on a site, and it loads that site. I wanna be able to do the same thing, but with IRC rooms instead of websites
[05:43] <Nutubuntu> !pastebin
[05:43] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:44] <phroughy> is anyone else having trouble contacting the update servers or ubuntu.com
[05:44] <usser> phroughy: nope all good
[05:44] <Nutubuntu> phroughy, no problem seeing ubuntu.com
[05:44] <viktor> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55946/
[05:45] <Survivorman> timandtom: you might want to try installing chatzilla for firefox
[05:45] <Survivorman> you should be able to get something similar working with that
[05:45] <meekolope> viktor, ty one moment
[05:45] <phroughy> huh, i can't see ubuntu.com and my updates aren't working. i'll reboot and see what happens
[05:45] <Syubi> Gnome stopped working correctly ..
[05:45] <viktor> its sda1 i wanna unmount from desktop
[05:45] <Syubi> the bars don't work anymore after I tried connecting to an ftp
[05:45] <timandtom> Survivorman: Bah, no thanks. Not that big of a deal, I can probably get something working, but if there was a plugin or something to do what I needed already... :) Aw wells
[05:45] <Starnestommy> viktor: I think that would be sudo umount /dev/sda1
[05:45] <Syubi> is this normal?
[05:46] <meekolope> oh ok
[05:46] <meekolope> it should be yes
[05:46] <meekolope> viktor, sudo umount /dev/sda1
[05:46] <Syubi> is there anything like ctrl+alt+canc ?
[05:46] <viktor> ill try it as long as it wont stop me from login into windows
[05:46] <pawan12> hello
[05:47] <TKingdom> viktor: if you have dual-boot, unmounting the drive in ubuntu shouldn't matter.
[05:47] <viktor> okai thx
[05:47] <meekolope> viktor, it wont. always though when you are unmounting something make sure you arent transfering a file between your linux and desktop partition
[05:47] <meekolope> viktor, besides that it wont hurt anything
[05:48] <pawan12> downloaded now how to install
[05:48] <viktor> okai kool and if i want it bak do i just chage unmont to mount
[05:48] <Survivorman> tim: i can open irc in firefox
[05:48] <Survivorman> i just tried
[05:48] <kaushal> hi again
[05:49] <meekolope> viktor, yes, u might have to add the mount point though. example: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1
[05:49] <^cLuBk|d^> whats the problem usually if I already set the corresponding ip address on my eth0 and still cannot ping the gateway ?
[05:49] <^cLuBk|d^> my gateway and dns ip is the same
[05:49] <Some_Person> How do I reencode a video to use the Cinepak codec?
[05:49] <pawan12> songbird
[05:49] <viktor> oh okai i doubt ill ever want it back but thank you so much for the help
[05:50] <meekolope> viktor, no problem
[05:50] <Survivorman> pawan, open the directory
[05:50] <Survivorman> click on songbird
[05:50] <pawan12> then
[05:50] <meekolope> viktor, if u ever have a problem you can always do: man mount              or               man umount
[05:50] <Survivorman> it will ask you a few options, click on run
[05:50] <meekolope> and it will explain how to use them
[05:51] <Syubi> so there's nothing like ctrl+alt+canc, huh :)
[05:51] <pawan12> which file tp run
[05:51] <Survivorman> should just be songbird
[05:52] <phroughy> yep, rebooting fixed it, updates are running now.
[05:52] <UncleChevitz> Can I switch from Gnome to KDE without reinstalling my OS?
[05:52] <Nutubuntu> UncleChevitz, yes
[05:52] <Nutubuntu> I ran the kernel update earlier today, and when I rebooted, I got Error 13 -- is there any way to recover from this besides reinstalling?
[05:52] <phroughy> UncleChevitz: yes, just "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[05:52] <UncleChevitz> Where can I find out how?
[05:52] <UncleChevitz> OK thnx
[05:52] <Survivorman> then select kde as a new session at login
[05:52] <pawan12> its not opening
[05:53] <pawan12> using wine
[05:53] <Survivorman> it shouldn't need wine
[05:53] <blag> pawan12: where did you download songbird from?
[05:53] <phroughy> UncleChevitz: then in your login manager (kdm or gdm) there should be a menu to choose the session type, just choose KDE instead of gnome
[05:53] <Syubi> Is it possible to run an SSH connection to a host from a computer you have accessed through another SSH connection?
[05:53] <viktor> sorry everyone how do i change a gnome theme
[05:53] <pawan12> http://developer.songbirdnest.com/
[05:53] <blag> ah...
[05:53] <Nutubuntu> UncleChevitz, check out http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde as well
[05:53] <viktor> im still stuck with the standard one that u get with fresh install
[05:54] <blag> is there any reason i shouldnt recommend www.getdeb.net to people?
[05:54] <blag> viktor: right click on the desktop, click change desktop background
[05:54] <blag> viktor: then click on the themes tab
[05:55] <viktor> that changes the box but i wanan change like the bar at the top and bottom of screen where applications is
[05:55] <Hammer89> usser: it doesn't seem to be working
[05:55] <blag> oh, then click customize
[05:55] <Survivorman> did you download the developer version pawan?
[05:55] <blag> viktor: then click customize
[05:56] <usser> Hammer89: its supposed to work when u open a new terminal
[05:56] <Hammer89> usser: lol... okay
[05:56] <musicgenius> whats up with the busybox error on feisty and gutsy?
[05:56] <musicgenius> im still stuck on edgy
[05:56] <blag> pawan12: i would download this one: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird
[05:56] <Some_Person> nevermind, i figured it out, mencoder can do it
[05:57] <blag> pawan12: that one should work, but it will have errors (as noted on the website)
[05:57] <Nutubuntu> musicgenius, say more about the error?
[05:57] <Some_Person> debs > tar.gz
[05:58] <musicgenius> it wont boot into the os
[05:58] <Survivorman> pawan, it works fine, but on the main page is the developers release
[05:58] <musicgenius> it goes past the menu
[05:58] <Nutubuntu> musicgenius, I ran the kernel update earlier today, and when I reboot, I get Error 13 -- I'm trying to find out if there's any way to recover from this besides reinstalling. Same error you see?
[05:58] <musicgenius> then gives me a busybox error
[05:58] <Survivorman> don't download it, download it from http://www.songbirdnest.com/download
[05:58] <Survivorman> works fine.
[05:58] <musicgenius> ive seen this all over the net
[05:59] <Soludra> I'm having problems getting my graphics driver/card to work. When I first installed Ubuntu, and enabled the restricted driver, it worked fine, but then I downloaded updated drivers from NVIDIA's website, and now my computer always loads into a low-graphics mode, in low-resolution.
[05:59] <blag> Survivorman: oh, my bad.  i thought that was a tarball.  didn't mean to jump over your head there.
[05:59] <UncleChevitz> Thnx guys
[06:00] <Survivorman> blag: no problem
[06:00] <musicgenius> i cant remenber exactly what it says but i cant boot into ubuntu at all from the live cd it just gives me a busybox error
[06:01] <Syubi> I have clicked on 'Places', 'Connect to server', and connected to some server running an SSH service. Now, since I believe this is the only computer accepting an SSH connection from outside the uni network, can I use this computer to access the computer I need? In other words, after I established an SSH connection to comp A, how do I use it to access comp B on comp A's network?
[06:01] <Nutubuntu> Well ... I'm thinking of changing my nick to Doc or Sneezy or something ... because I sure am not Happy :/
[06:02] <OmnipotentEntity> Hello, I'm having trouble with wine segfaulting.
[06:03] <OmnipotentEntity> It segfaults when it tries to run any program I can think of.
[06:03] <OmnipotentEntity> I'm on HH alpha 4 running wine 0.9.55
[06:04] <Syubi> where does the terminal program resides on a Ubuntu box?
[06:04] <Nutubuntu> musicgenius, I ran the kernel update earlier today, and when I reboot, I get Error 13 -- I think this is a Grub error, but it says that the executable (the kernel?) is not okay. I'm trying to find out if there's any way to recover from this besides reinstalling. Same error you see?
[06:04] <blag> Syubi: Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[06:04] <Survivorman> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
[06:05] <musicgenius> im not sure ill pop in some other time and check it tomorrow
[06:05] <Syubi> ok, so perhaps i can use /usr/bin/gnome-terminal of another computer
[06:05] <Survivorman> what are you trying to do Syubi?
[06:06] <musicgenius> ill write it down and look for you in here l8r and let you know
[06:06] <musicgenius> i have grub on here
[06:07] <musicgenius> i have ubuntu and kubuntu running on a slave drive
[06:07] <Syubi> I am machine C. I connected to machine B with SSH. I would like to use machine B to connect to machine A because they are on the same network.
[06:07] <Syubi> Survivorman, I can't connect to machine A directly from my machine C.
[06:08] <Librustralia> hey there
[06:08] <Librustralia> does anyone know what codecs to install to get winff to convert MPG TO mp4?
[06:08] <Syubi> I'm clicking on the gnome-terminal file but it's not working
[06:08] <zcat[1]> Syubi: on A, sudo apt-get install ssh  (this will install sshd which listens for the connection from ssh)
[06:09] <^cLuBk|d^> if you install ubuntu, the resolv.conf already exist or you have to create it manually?
[06:09] <Syubi> there is ssh, but I can't connect because I'm not part of the network
[06:09] <Syubi> my university doesn't allow it
[06:09] <^cLuBk|d^> any help here?
[06:10] <zcat[1]> you can ssh to B, then ssh from B to A ?
[06:10] <Syubi> i am trying to do that but i don't have a clue how to
[06:10] <garth> i think a recent update broke my xserver, any help?
[06:11] <Syubi> pragmatically speaking, i mean. i don't know what to touch.. it's my first time on Ubuntu
[06:11] <Librustralia>  does anyone know what codecs to install to get winff to convert MPG TO mp4?
[06:12] <Hammer89> can someone take a look at this error for me? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55947/
[06:12] <Syubi> zcat[1]: do you think it's
[06:12] <Syubi> possible?
[06:13] <garth> no one else experienced xserver failures after a recent update?
[06:13] <teamcobra> is there an easy way to replace an installed openssh with hpn-patched openssh (hpn-ssh)
[06:14] <n2diy> Hammer89: that isn't a Ubuntu error, it is a SELinux error.
[06:14] <noodles12> garth: was that related to an xorg update? i saw something on dig about that so I skipped the installation package
[06:14] <zcat[1]> Syubi: If you can ssh from C to B, and you can ssh from B to A, yes...
[06:14] <Hammer89> n2diy: I never installed SELinux
[06:14] <garth> noodles i might've been, ive grown accustomed to not monitoring what is updating
[06:14] <Syubi> zcat[1]: can you tell me how to do that, please ?
[06:14] <Hammer89> n2diy: maybe the latest updates did it?
[06:15] <garth> @noodles is there a way i can roll it back?
[06:15] <garth> :/
[06:15] <zcat[1]> On machine C, open a terminal and type 'ssh B (whatever the IP or hostname is) and you get a shell on B.. then in that shell type "ssh A" and you get a shell on A..
[06:16] <n2diy> Hammer89: I don' think so? SELinux is a different version of Linux, I'm not even sure it is Debian based?
[06:16] <tarelerulz> What I wanted to make an normal audio cd with an dvdr ? Can that be done
[06:16] <Hammer89> n2diy: that makes no sense then... I've got no doubt I'm using Ubuntu
[06:16] <Hammer89> n2diy: is there a way to find out what kernel I'm using?
[06:16] <^cLuBk|d^> if you install ubuntu, the resolv.conf already exist or you have to create it manually?
[06:16] <teamcobra> no, selinux isn't a seperate distro
[06:16] <n2diy> Hammer89: uname
[06:17] <jay-oh-en> hi
[06:17] <n2diy> Hammer89: uname -a
[06:17] <zcat[1]> SElinux is just some security enhancements to the linux kernel, it can be used on any distro
[06:17] <Hammer89> Linux matthew-laptop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[06:17] <Syubi> zcat[1]: I was doing this with the 'connect to server' window and i can only browse files that way..
[06:18] <zcat[1]> Syubi: ahhh, ok. That's a little more complex then.
[06:18] <Syubi> zcat[1]: Indeed.. I was clicking on gnome-terminal with no success.. hehe
[06:19] <zcat[1]> Syubi: you can do tricks like 'tunneling' ports from one box to the next but it's a bit complex to describe
[06:20] <n2diy> Hammer89: From what I see here, SELinux is a modified kerenel, you have better luck in #ubuntu-kernel? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELinux
[06:20] <Hammer89> n2diy: Hmmm... I still don't see how SELinux got on my computer... I never installed it
[06:21] <pawan12> hi
[06:21] <zcat[1]> afaik ubuntu already uses an SElinux kernel, you just need to figure out how to configure the security extensions
[06:21] <Syubi> zcat[1]: what's the syntax for ssh ? I know the host name and my user name and my password.
[06:21] <Nutubuntu> I ran the kernel update earlier today, and when I reboot, I get Error 13 -- I think this is a Grub error -- it says that the executable (the kernel?) is not okay. I'm trying to find out if there's any way to recover from this besides reinstalling
[06:21] <n2diy> Hammer89: I don't know either, I have four updates pending, but none of them are kernel related.
[06:21] <zcat[1]> Syubi: man ssh .. typically 'ssh user@host' or just 'ssh host' if you're using the same username on both
[06:22] <Hammer89> n2diy: I had like 6 kernel related updates in the past week
[06:22] <pawan12> cant change nick name to pawan
[06:22] <zcat[1]> Nutubuntu: press ESC when grup tells you to, and select the previous kernel, that should still work
[06:22] <n2diy> Hammer89: What version of Ubuntu? I'm hanging on to Dapper 6.06
[06:22] <zcat[1]> *grub
[06:22] <Hammer89> n2diy: 7.10
[06:23] <Nutubuntu> zcat - will try , thanks
[06:23] <Syubi> Are these BSD commands?
[06:23] <camille__> can i plays network games with ubuntu?
[06:23] <n2diy> Hammer89: Live on the cutting edge, and you'll bleed. :)
[06:23] <Cpudan80> camille__: Yes, Ubuntu support socket programming
[06:23] <zcat[1]> Syubi: ssh? it has roots in openbsd I think..
[06:24] <julia> Hi all I am using kde4 and all of my gtk apps and qt3 apps are being rendered really slowly, like the CPU is drawing it. Any thoughts?
[06:24] <Cpudan80> supports*
[06:24] <camille__> can i pm you?
[06:24] <Cpudan80> No
[06:24] <Hammer89> n2diy: lol... I didn't install the release prior to 7:10 because there were way too many compatibility issues with my laptop
[06:24] <Nutubuntu> zcat, all I get is 2.6.22-14-generic and the same in recovery mode - neither one works. And memtest, which works fine but is limited :/
[06:24] <^cLuBk|d^> if you install ubuntu, the resolv.conf already exist or you have to create it manually?? pls answer
[06:24] <n2diy> no
[06:24] <Cpudan80> Nothing personal -- I'm just about to hop off
[06:24] <camille__> ok
[06:24] <camille__> thnaks
[06:24] <camille__> where do i look
[06:25] <cycom> anyone know how to fix wlan0_rename to have the correct name using the iwl3945 driver on gutsy?
[06:25] <Cpudan80> camille__: What are you trying to do?
[06:25] <n2diy> Hammer89: Have you tried google?
[06:25] <camille__> install internet games
[06:25] <Hammer89> n2diy: I had... to no avail
[06:25] <camille__> like dota
[06:25] <zcat[1]> Nutubuntu: well, you can boot the live CD, find out what older kernels are still around and sort out grub manually.. but it's a bit tricky
[06:25] <Hammer89> n2diy: I'll probably try a forum post soon
[06:25] <Cpudan80> camille__: That depends if the developer has made a port of the app for ubuntu
[06:25] <MrKeuner> hi, which one is the log file when installing ubuntu from live cd?
[06:26] <camille__> ah
[06:26] <Nutubuntu> zcat[1], I'm not sure I *have* the live CD ... installed from minimal
[06:26] <n2diy> Hammer89: Roger on the forum post, and again you might ask in #ubuntu-kernel.
[06:26] <Cpudan80> camille__: you could try using wine
[06:26] <camille__> which site should i go to that teaches networking and games
[06:26] <camille__> thanks
[06:26] <Hammer89> n2diy: okay... thanks :)
[06:26] <camille__> ill google wine
[06:26] <penney> Hi I'm getting a green screen playing some of my AVI's with mplayer in Gutsy.  I also have crackling audio.  I think it may be possible to sum up both these issues with some wrong codec... Anyone have any suggestions, maybe: what codecs should I be using so I can play any/every video known to man?
[06:26] <Librustralia> hellloo?
[06:26] <n2diy> Hammer89: Good luck.
[06:26] <Cpudan80> You want to make a networked application camille__ ?
[06:26] <Librustralia> Is anyone here familiar with FFMPEG or WINFF?
[06:27] <zcat[1]> Nutubuntu: well, you can alt-F2 a shell from the minimal install also.. but it's fairly tricky, not something I would want to talk anyone through over IRC
[06:27] <Cpudan80> camille__: In that case, you should look at the documents for the language you are going to program in
[06:27] <camille__> i am setting up internet shop
[06:27] <Cpudan80> Internet shop?
[06:27] <camille__> yup
[06:27] <Nutubuntu> zcat[1], thanks - I can understand that :)
[06:27] <Librustralia> what codecs are available that can converg MPEG to MPG4?
[06:27] <Cpudan80> So you want a web server camille__ ?
[06:27] <camille__> where people rent machines to surf ym or play games
[06:27] <n2diy> Hi jeeves
[06:28] <camille__> im currently using ubuntu now
[06:28] <Nutubuntu> zcat[1], would you happen to know, what was the most recent kernel prior to 2.6.22-14-generic ?
[06:28] <jeeves_moss> can someone help me figure out how a torrent tracker site works, and what software I should use.
[06:28] <Cpudan80> camille__: You're not making much sense
[06:28] <zcat[1]> camille__: sudo apt-get install oscommerce , I think..
[06:28] <camille__> thnks for the advice
[06:28] <jeeves_moss> camille__:  oscommerse isn't in the repo
[06:28] <camille__> ill try googling wine first
[06:28] <zcat[1]> sorry, apparently not
[06:29] <n2diy> Hi jeeves

[06:33] <xhhux> hello?
[06:33] <deeptrance> I received a message when updating ubuntu, it said that i would have to do a partial upgrade, and when I click continue i get the following error "Could not calculate the upgrade
[06:33] <deeptrance> A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
[06:33] <deeptrance> Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport."
[06:33] <cens0red> hi.
[06:33] <xhhux> hi
[06:34] <alus> ebubuntu? kubuntu? xubuntu? which do I want?
[06:34] <Biblio> zcat, thanks for trying, tho
[06:34] <Sphynx> Hello, i just updated my ubuntu but my wifi is not connecting it recgnizes the wifi card but it won't connect is there any way i could check the logs for this to see what's the error?
[06:34] <jappdev> sphynx: you can view the log file at /etc/log/messages but for more wifi info look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[06:34] <zcat[1]> Biblio: he may be more accessable via here be dragons..?
[06:34] <Sphynx> thanks jappdev
[06:35] <Biblio> zcat, is that his blog? if so, i contected the mail adress there
[06:35] <frankielai> anybody home?
[06:35] <n2diy> alus: I'll tell you, if you tell me what I want for breakfast?
[06:35] <zcat[1]> Biblio: I think he's fairly busy so it might take a while for him to get to you.
[06:35] <Syubi> zcat[1]: Unfortunately it didn't work. It says the connection is refused. That machine has the latest Ubuntu server installed. Do you think I should install sshd on it?
[06:36] <Biblio> zcat[1], thank you  :)
[06:36] <fesha> Okay, well if no one know of a good desktop manager (ie. something like Webshots) for Ubuntu, Is it possible for me to Wine Webshots
[06:36] <fesha> ?
[06:37] <Ayabara> Anyone with an Intel AG 4965 wifi-card here? I'm having troubles getting mine to work
[06:37] <zcat[1]> Syubi: perhaps... if it's accessable from the internet you might want to be sure there are no weak passwords, or firewall out traffic to port22 from the general public
[06:37] <deeptrance> Does anyone have errors when they try to update ubuntu?
[06:38] <Biblio> zcat[1].. sabdfl would not happen to be a nick, right? or some handle in some forum?
[06:38] <zcat[1]> Syubi: but yes, to ssh to it it will need sshd running
[06:38] <penney> deeptrance: what kind of errors?
[06:38] <zcat[1]> Biblio: it's the nick he uses on irc, yes..
[06:39] <Biblio> zc, very appreciated, thanks :)
[06:39] <Sphynx> jappdev: According to the troubleshooting at wifidocs it says my encryption key might be wrong but i configure my router with no password but it still didn't work any ideas?
[06:39] <deeptrance> penney: check your pm
[06:40] <jappdev> sphynx: do you get a specific error, or does it just not show any networks?
[06:40] <Em0ry42> deeptrance, PM me here.  that nick is on irssi and i'm not really a genius there
[06:40] <clearzen> How can I tell if the rca inputs on my computer are recognized by the kernel?
[06:41] <Sphynx> jappdev: it won't show any errors, it just times out and nothing works no internet at all
[06:41] <viktor> hey i did the sudo unamount and i restrated my computer now my hardrive is back
[06:41] <^cLuBk|d^> if you install ubuntu, the resolv.conf already exist or you have to create it manually?? pls answer..
[06:42] <Sphynx> jappdev: it does shows the networks
[06:42] <clearzen> ^cLuBk|d^: it already exists
[06:42] <deeptrance> Em0ry42: send you pm
[06:42] <neil_d> when using a gtk.PrintOperation() to create a print dialog, why doesn't the gfax printer show up ?
[06:42] <fesha> Why can't I private chat in X-chat?
[06:43] <n2diy> cluB it is created for you.
[06:43] <zcat[1]> ^cLuBk|d^: when you set up the network it's created, either the nameservers you entered manually or the ones assigned by DHCP
[06:43] <zcat[1]> fesha: on this server you must authenticate first
[06:44] <Em0ry42> deeptrance,  pm isn't working for me wow sorry... you use aim or anything?
[06:44] <deeptrance> i have aim let me sign on
[06:44] <alus> n2diy: you probably want eggs. many people have eggs for breakfast, but they take time to cook, so if you don't have time you might try cereal
[06:44] <Syubi> zcat[1]: Thanks for everything. I'm logging off now. Bye.
[06:45] <n2diy> alus: Thank you, and if you have time, research the different versions of Ubuntu. Who knows what you want? :)
[06:45] <fesha> zcat[1]: okay thanx
[06:45] <fesha> Dose anyone know of a good desktop manager I can use in Ubuntu? Maybe something similar to Webshots?

[06:46] <n2diy> alus: Yes, very sophisticated!
[06:46] <Sphynx> jappdev: no, i had the previous version of ubuntu and it worked perfectly until i updated
[06:46] <deeptrance> Em0ry42: i figured out why i couldnt pm
[06:47] <Em0ry42> deeptrance, why's that?
[06:47] <alus> n2diy: would you provide a similar level of information?
[06:47] <jappdev> sphynx: ok, are you running 7.10 now?  if so are you using ndiswrapper?
[06:48] <deeptrance> eh i guess not
[06:48] <Em0ry42> deeptrance, I dont think im registered either, how do I do that?
[06:48] <deeptrance> my aim is jadedangel369
[06:48] <deeptrance> check the server messages
[06:49] <Sphynx> jappdev: yes i'm using 7.10 from scratch, i dont think im using ndiswrapper
[06:49] <n2diy> alus: It would be easier for you, and I, if you Googled for the differences in the Ubuntu versions. I'm only familiar with Ubuntu, and I wold guess most of the others here are only familiar with one or two versions also?
[06:49] <viktor> hi i unmounted a drive and when my comp restarted it is back
[06:49] <deeptrance> Em0ry42: server has the walk through
[06:49] <viktor> how do i unamount it for good so it dont come back unless i want it to
[06:49] <jappdev> sphynx: what type of wireless card do you have?
[06:50] <meekolope> viktor
[06:50] <alus> n2diy: ok. that's good to know

[06:50] <ubotu> alus: Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org

[06:51] <meekolope> cat /etc/fstab
[06:51] <viktor> ok what em i lookin for
[06:52] <meekolope> look and see if those /dev/sda1, sda2 partitions are in there
[06:52] <viktor> yer there there
[06:53] <meekolope> what the fstab stands for is filesystem table, which is all the mount points you want to mount automatically are, at boot it mounts them
[06:53] <jappdev> sphynx: are there any interfaces listed under cat /proc/net/wireless
[06:53] <meekolope> so
[06:53] <Ububegin> hi , what is the grep command... which will search the whole directory and return the line number as well
[06:53] <meekolope> all you have to do is, sudo pico /etc/fstab
[06:54] <viktor> what wil that do
[06:54] <razordead> Ububegin: -rn
[06:54] <meekolope> and delete ONLY those lines that have the sda1/sda2 in them
[06:54] <razordead> Ububegin: or is it -rl
[06:54] <viktor> but i want sad2 onli wanna get rid of 1
[06:54] <meekolope> oh ok
[06:54] <meekolope> then only delete 1
[06:54] <Sphynx> jappdev: yes
[06:54] <meekolope> itll just make it so it wont mount automatically it wont delete that partition
[06:55] <Ububegin> razordead: u mean grep -rn "wordtosearchfor" /etc/
[06:55] <novato_br> how to solve Duplicate sources.list entry ?
[06:55] <Ayabara> is there a simple tutorial on how to use ndiswrapper somewhere out there?
[06:55] <razordead> Ububegin: yeah, I assumed you knew the rest & were just asking for the options
[06:55] <viktor> i dont know how to write in console
[06:55] <meekolope> ok
[06:56] <meekolope> are you using gnome or kde?
[06:56] <novato_br> i'm trying to install the kde4 by synaptic, i've checked the options, but it can't install the kde4-libs and kde4-lib-data without error
[06:56] <Ububegin> razordead:kinda forget...just wanted to double-confirm... tks
[06:56] <meekolope> as a window manager
[06:56] <viktor> gnome
[06:56] <fesha> Okay, well if no one know of a good desktop manager (ie. something like Webshots) for Ubuntu, Is it possible for me to Wine Webshots?
[06:56] <n2diy> viktor: you need to learn how to write in a console.
[06:56] <meekolope> ok do this instead itll be a little more familiar for u
[06:56] <meekolope> sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[06:56] <viktor> i know how to right but not edit anythign
[06:56] <jappdev> sphynx: watch the log file udev (tail -f /var/log/dmesg) while you try to connect again, and if it gives you any network errors, drop them in pastebin and post a link
[06:57] <meekolope> oh ok so did u delete that line?
[06:57] <jappdev> sphynx: * watch the dmesg log file not udev
[06:57] <n2diy> viktor: gedit (filename) is painless.
[06:57] <Invizibil> hi people
[06:57] <meekolope> right
[06:57] <Invizibil> what does noapic do?
[06:57] <Slart> fesha: webshots? isn't that some kind of photo software?
[06:57] <meekolope> viktor did u use pico? and deleted that single line?
[06:58] <novato_br> i've tried to install kde4 by synaptic, but i've some errors: Duplicate sources.list entry and trying to rewrite usr/lib/kde4/share/apps/kstyle/themes/plastik.themerc, what can I do?
[06:58] <Sphynx> jappdev: done
[06:58] <jappdev> sphynx: are you using a wpc54g?
[06:59] <razordead> Ububegin: man pages are your friend
[06:59] <Sphynx> jappdev: yeah
[06:59] <n2diy> Invizibil: It disables the advanced programmble interrupt controller.
[06:59] <Ububegin> razordead : i found this great site... it is even better than man... has examples as well... http://www.ss64.com/bash/
[06:59] <kaoticsnow> hehe my buddy learned man pages were his friend the hard way route -f "F is for full listing right?"
[06:59] <fesha> Slart: kinda. You cant edit the pictures. but you can put your own pictures in it and it will lett you use those for a sceen saver it will also let you use those pic for desktop and it will rotae youre desktop pics for you
[07:00] <jappdev> sphynx: take a look at the 4th and 7th post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5645
[07:01] <Slart> fesha: hmm.. the only thing I can think of, without coffee in my system, is picasa.. not sure they still have a linux version though.. you'll have to check
[07:01] <Sphynx> jappdev: ok
[07:01] <silverFox> i h4x

[07:01] <silverFox> ha
[07:01] <silverFox> fail
[07:02] <Ububegin> razordead: a fellow ubuntuer recommended it to me...  though a guru like you might not need it :D
[07:02] <Slart> fesha: and I don't think wine will work for that.. since you'll be wanting to change the gnome background instead of the windows background
[07:02] <razordead> Ububegin: it can't hurt to bookmark... it's easy to forget infrequently-used commands
[07:03] <Ububegin> admin pls ban silverFox .... a$$hole.. dont come here and spam
[07:03] <fesha> Slart: They have the desktop pic rotating? That is weird. I will go check for that
[07:03] <Slart> fesha: nah.. not the last time I checked.. but check out "screenlets" for that part
[07:04] <Ububegin> razordead: :D ... yeah ubuntu channel rux , dont it...

[07:08] <blink> ___Oz___, what u mean here..?edubuntu no 3ddesktop?..
[07:08] <___Oz___> Slart: it's sort of a diurnal anamoly.
[07:09] <spdf> ___Oz___: I read that as Diurinal.. Which, as far as where I'm from, means you urinate in it...
[07:09] <___Oz___> spdf: wrong word, my friend.  DIURNAL.
[07:09] <___Oz___> Has to do with relative motion of the stars from the perspective of the earth.
[07:10] <Slart> ___Oz___: nope.. still not getting it.. what's with blink and the verisimilitude?
[07:10] <thesurvivorman> Slart, you can make the screensaver work in picasa

[07:14] <Em0ry42> deeptrance, I'm not really sure, it should the MythBuntu Control Center should have grabbed some restricted drivers but I dont know
[07:14] <___Oz___> em0ry: should work then
[07:14] <spdf> Slart: Check it out, I released not too long ago, steady stream of updates
[07:15] <spdf> novato_br: Automatix can cause some serious problems
[07:15] <novato_br> so why automatix  exist ?
[07:15] <Slart> novato_br: automatix has been known to make grown men weep.. and then reinstall
[07:15] <novato_br> LoL
[07:15] <___Oz___> novato_br: as far as I know, the only way to recover from automatix is to reinstall fresh.

[07:17] <Hisotaso> what does that mean?
[07:17] <Slart> novato_br: before the restricted drivers thingy came along, installing graphics drivers and such were... well... a bit of a challenge.. automatix made that easier.. then it just never died
[07:17] <novato_br> so it's show subprocess return error code 1

[07:19] <novato_br> why is there error?
[07:19] <spdf> novato_br: Its possible that a repo that automatix is using has a broken package
[07:19] <Hisotaso> even after i enable the driver, after i reboot its unchecked again
[07:20] <novato_br> spdf, i'll unchecked automatic in source list, will go work?

[07:22] <novato_br> my ubuntu is portuguese brazilian, pier357_  and my english is not good
[07:22] <spdf> novato_br: You're english isn't bad

[07:25] <novato_br> kde4lib
[07:25] <novato_br> i've removed
[07:25] <novato_br> i've tried to install again
[07:26] <___Oz___> novato_br: I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but after automatix, you're almost certainly going to have to reinstall.
[07:26] <novato_br> and it was showed this error: http://www.pastebin.ca/903400
[07:27] <ph0rensic> ___Oz___: Haha yeah pretty much .. during the install it should warn you about automatix huh...?
[07:27] <pier357_> automatix down
[07:27] <novato_br> ___Oz___,  will I  have to install all system's packages ?
[07:27] <spdf> Like I said... Friends don't let friends use Automatix ;)
[07:27] <ph0rensic> If I had a nickel for everytime automatix broke someones system, I'd be richer than the sultan of dubai
[07:27] <spdf> ph0rensic: That's awfully rich.
[07:28] <___Oz___> novato: no...  you'll have to REINSTALL UBUNTU
[07:28] <___Oz___> the full deal
[07:28] <ph0rensic> spdf: Yup
[07:28] <novato_br> haaaaaaa ????
[07:28] <___Oz___> yes
[07:28] <thesurvivorman> you mean sultan of brueni
[07:28] <___Oz___> you can try to limp along for awhile with your borked system
[07:28] <___Oz___> but, in the end, you will probably reinstall
[07:29] <novato_br> i want not to install my ubuntu, it's alot setting that i made to work generic mp3, printer, videocard
[07:29] <spdf> novato_br: Are you running Ubuntu (Gnome), or Kubuntu (KDE)?
[07:29] <ph0rensic> thesurvivorman: Whichever the one where they make their own island with shapes like a globe and a palm tree
[07:29] <novato_br> i want not to set up again
[07:29] <thesurvivorman> brueni... that guy is nuts
[07:29] <___Oz___> sultan of kintakuntu you mean
[07:29] <novato_br> spdf, i'm running gnome
[07:29] <pier357_> novato_br: ubuntu si mette apposto non si reset mai
[07:29] <thesurvivorman> oh, that's dubai

[07:29] <thesurvivorman> brueni is the one who buys models for nights at a time, etc
[07:29] <novato_br> and i've to install kde4 to see how it is
[07:30] <wikityler> How do I copy all but the hidden contents of a directory?
[07:30] <___Oz___> novato_br: I feel your pain...  literally. I, too, installed automatix once.
[07:30] <pier357_> ubuntu it is put I never lie in wait for not reset
[07:30] <spdf> novato_br: Okay. So, you should be fine. I would suggest waiting until the KDE4 Kubuntu release comes out, or, finding another way without Automatix.
[07:30] <___Oz___> The only real way out of the mess is to reinstall.
[07:30] <In-Sane> wikityler: try cp * <foldername>
[07:30] <novato_br> okay, spdf
[07:30] <___Oz___> http://www.google.com/search?q=problems+with+automatix
[07:31] <jappdev> novato_br: if you want kde4, check out the kubuntu ppa
[07:31] <novato_br> i want not to install kubuntu, jappdev
[07:31] <wikityler> How do I copy all but the hidden contents of a directory?
[07:31] <jappdev> you don't have to
[07:31] <novato_br> Noya, jappdev
[07:31] <novato_br> no
[07:32] <In-Sane> wikityler:  cp * <foldername>
[07:32] <nix> whats the best way to make a GUI in unbuntu?
[07:32] <novato_br> thx buddies
[07:32] <jappdev> novato_br: here are the instructions http://www.kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php
[07:32] <novato_br> i have to go
[07:32] <In-Sane> wikityler: * doesn't include files that start with .

[07:33] <___Oz___> he even says in his faq, "what about these guys in #ubuntu who say not to install automatix? A: Automatix is perfectly safe.
[07:33] <pawan1> hi
[07:33] <ere4si> nix: there's zenity and Tkinter(which is python)
[07:33] <___Oz___> "
[07:34] <ganesh> hello, which package is taking care of password while installing ubuntu in our system
[07:34] <^cLuBk|d^> whats the problem if I can ping to any of the computers on my network, but other computers can't ping me?

[07:35] <ph0rensic> ___Oz___: define...safe...safe from every being able to work?
[07:35] <meekolope> ^cLuBk|d^: do you have a firewall on?
[07:35] <novato_br> jappdev, what is the size of kubuntu?
[07:35] <novato_br> in mega bytes?
[07:35] <nix> ere4si: in synaptic?
[07:35] <In-Sane> wikityler: cp only works with a directory if you use -r
[07:35] <KiwiNewt> hi all. Im having an issue of firefox suddenly crashing and gnome suddenly crashing or freezing. theres no errors in the system log that I cna find however. any ideas?
[07:35] <^cLuBk|d^> meekolope, i don't know, how will i know if my firewall is on or off? and maybe if you can tell me how to turn it off will be appreciated :D
[07:35] <ere4si> nix: zenity is installed - Tkinter is in synaptic
[07:36] <jappdev> novato_br: it depends on which packages you install, if you go only with the base system its ~200mb (someone correct me if thats wrong)
[07:36] <novato_br> and your link, jappdev is to kubuntu gutsy
[07:36] <meekolope> ^cLuBk|d^: are you using ubuntu?
[07:36] <novato_br> i don't have gutsy
[07:37] <novato_br> i'm running feisty fawn, jappdev
[07:37] <^cLuBk|d^> yes meekolope, the latest server edition
[07:37] <novato_br> it's version 7.04
[07:37] <wikityler> In-Sane, what i'm trying to do is copy my home dir, except the hidden files/directories.
[07:38] <jappdev> novato_br: you still should be able add the line to your apt sources.list file, then install the packages (they will have a -kde4 suffix)
[07:38] <novato_br> okay, jappdev
[07:38] <^cLuBk|d^> meekolope, the firewall is activated on default?
[07:38] <novato_br> i'll make
[07:38] <pier357_> excused I have already told to you why are here and of the humidifi
[07:39] <meekolope> ^cLuBk|d^: yes i believe so
[07:39] <spdf> wikityler: cp -R /dir /to-dir
[07:39] <^cLuBk|d^> meekolope, do you have any idea how to turn if off?
[07:39] <ere4si> nix: http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter will get you started with Tkinter
[07:40] <meekolope> ^cLuBk|d^:is it the server edition? or desktop
[07:40] <^cLuBk|d^> meekolope, server edition . . :D
[07:41] <meekolope> ^cLuBk|d^: one second ill check to be sure
[07:41] <^cLuBk|d^> nice :)
[07:42] <thesurvivorman> spdf: -R ignores hidden files?
[07:42] <spdf> Oh, ignores...
[07:42] <pier357_> yes ignores......
[07:42] <thesurvivorman> Yeah, he wanted to ignore hidden files in his home directory
[07:42] <pier357_> all
[07:42] <spdf> I missed the ignore part
[07:43] <meekolope> ^cLuBk|d^: do you see the "server" tab at the top
[07:43] <^cLuBk|d^> i didnt install any gui, i only use terminal :)
[07:43] <meekolope> ^cLuBk|d^: at the top of your screen
[07:44] <In-Sane> use cp * to ignore hidden files. thats all i know ;)
[07:44] <meekolope> ooooh ok
[07:44] <meekolope> no gnome
[07:44] <starked> Hey, does anybody here have a newzbin account, and could send me an invite?
[07:44] <^cLuBk|d^> yep :)
[07:44] <meekolope> ok np one second
[07:44] <jappdev> novato_br: the best way to make sure you get the right packages, is once you've added the line to you apt sources.list file, use synaptic to search for packages that contain '-kde4' and find the kdebase-kde4 and any other apps you might want, i would suggest kdeadmin-kde4 too
[07:44] <novato_br> okay, jappdev , thx
[07:46] <danny> hi can someone help me compile alsa-source?  i really have no clue how to do it
[07:46] <KiwiNewt> anyone able to help me with my applications crashing? :S
[07:47] <meekolope> do you have the "ufw" application installed?
[07:47] <^cLuBk|d^> meekolope, a second :)
[07:47] <pawan1> hi
[07:47] <meekolope> kk
[07:49] <guyfawke> Hi
[07:49] <^cLuBk|d^> meekolope, how will i know if it is installed on a machine or not? Im just assigned to connect it on our network :)
[07:49] <guyfawke> I need some help with encrypted lvm install with gutsy.
[07:50] <sissec3> Hi was just wondering if anyone could help me mounting a usb drive. The problem is that it hasnt been shut down properly from winXP so i am supposed to use a fore command. But i cant seem to get it to work
[07:50] <sissec3> *force command
[07:50] <spdf> sissec3: There's a utility called ntfsfix
[07:51] <meekolope> well two questions, one. is it already on your network successfully, aka can you ping other computers/go on the internet. second. do you have root access
[07:51] <spdf> sissec3: I believe its in the ntfsprogs package
[07:53] <^cLuBk|d^> meekolope, yes it is already on my network, it can ping other ip's ( assigned to other windows computer clients ) but it cannot ping from other computers, secondly I have a root access on this ubuntu box. My only problem is it cannot be seen from other windows computers
[07:53] <guyfawke> I have a fresh installed gutsy machine with encrypted lvm [works fine LUKS passphrase on boot]. What I wanted achieve was to remove the passphrase prompt and use a USB flash drive instead. I created a new key from /dev/urandom and cryptsetup luksAddKey'ed it and copied the root.key to a usb flash drive..
[07:53] <guyfawke> but this is nto recognised on boot.
[07:53] <guyfawke> I still need to enter the passphrase.
[07:53] <sissec3> spdf: installing packages now
[07:53] <meekolope> why are you trying to get it pinged? if its on the network?
[07:54] <spdf> ^cLuBk|d^: You're certain the IP you're pinging is correct?
[07:55] <sissec3> spdf: worked perfectly, thanks
[07:55] <i0n> whats up ubuntu people
[07:55] <spdf> sissec3: np
[07:56] <^cLuBk|d^> [16:12] <spdf> ^cLuBk|d^: You're certain the IP you're pinging is correct?  <--- yep! i even ping the gateway from my ubuntu, and its correct.
[07:56] <nix> how do i do dual monitors with ubuntu? i have nvidia6600gt ubu7.10
[07:56] <i0n> Should i have any problems getting ubuntu to run a - AMD 64 X2 2500+ AM2 DC, ASUS M2N4-SLI AM2
[07:56] <i0n> ?
[07:56] <clearzen> I'm getting a strange error from my Nvidia driver when starting up. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55949/ Anyone know what that means?
[07:57] <meekolope> My assumption would be that the firewall is blocking pings.
[07:57] <i0n> amd 64 x2 3600*
[07:57] <AlgorithmicContr> Good evening my sons
[07:57] <meekolope> im just fuzzing on firewall configuration from the command line

[07:57] <AlgorithmicContr> pawan1: quite well, why do you ask?
[07:58] <pawan1> just insatlled

[07:58] <spdf> ^cLuBk|d^: And, see if there's anything about blocking ICMP
[07:58] <thesurvivorman> Pawan, I discovered that you were downloading the developers version earlier and needed to get the regular version
[07:58] <nix> dual monitors? anyone?
[07:59] <meekolope> nix: what video card
[07:59] <spdf> nix: I'm using Twinview with nVidia

[07:59] <Daemonik> Does fglrx 8.42 still make attempting to suspend or hibernate hopeless?
[08:00] <meekolope> nix: do you have the nvidia driver installed
[08:00] <Mushrooms> Hi everyone, I have a question regarding Kile, TexLive, and KDVI with inverse searching. Would anyone be able to lend me a hand?
[08:00] <spdf> nix: check out google for nVidia Twinview, I can post my xorg.conf for you as well if you'd like.. it was very easy to set up
[08:01] <^cLuBk|d^> spdf, have a policy accept on all.
[08:01] <meekolope> nix: yeah if you the nv driver installed then all u should have to do is the correct xorg.conf
[08:01] <nix> spdf: can i still use compiz?
[08:02] <nix> meekolope: thanks
[08:02] <ph0rensic> whoa asking about tiwnview

[08:03] <clearzen> how can I make X load the module libGLcore.so.169.09 instead of libGLcore.so.1?
[08:03] <Mushrooms> maybe my question was a little bit too specific... but really i was wondering if there is anyway at all to help test my emulated middle button for the mouse
[08:05] <spdf> Mushrooms: Open up a text editor. Highlight some text, and then press your left and right mouse buttons together into the text editor. It should paste what you've highlighted.
[08:05] <neil_d> clearzen: do you know which program is load that ?   where does libGLcore.so link to ?
[08:05] <guyfawke> I need some help with encrypted lvm install with gutsy. Anybody ?
[08:05] <ph0rensic> nix http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773584
[08:06] <clearzen> neil_d: I know it is being loaded for glx
[08:06] <Mushrooms> spdf: wow excellent, works like a charm. Now I have to try figure out why KDVI is not reading my 'middle button' inputs
[08:06] <Mushrooms> spdf: thanks heaps
[08:06] <clearzen> neil_d: I also know that /etc/ld.do.conf.d/libc.conf points to the directory that contains it

[08:13] <Stevethepirate> noxville@virtue:~$ modprobe iwl4965
[08:13] <Stevethepirate> FATAL: Module iwl4965 not found.
[08:14] <jay-oh-en> whats exciting to do with linux
[08:14] <spdf> Stevethepirate: Hmm.. cd /lib/modules/
[08:14] <spdf> Stevethepirate: Then find | grep 4965
[08:15] <Stevethepirate> noxville@virtue:/lib/modules$ ls
[08:15] <Stevethepirate> 2.6.22-14-generic  2.6.24-7-386  2.6.24-7-generic

[08:16] <shayan> has anyone managed to run Qt in ubuntu
[08:16] <spdf> Stevethepirate: Anything in the 24-7's that's close?
[08:16] <Stevethepirate> No.
[08:16] <Stevethepirate> The drivers are _in_ the 22 folder.
[08:17] <spdf> Stevethepirate: Yeh, its possible they moved the 4965 stuff into another kernel module
[08:17] <Stevethepirate> Ah.
[08:17] <Stevethepirate> So what must I do?
[08:17] <psithe1st> hi all i have a problem installing a c compiler can any one help

[08:17] <guyfawke> I need some help with encrypted lvm install with gutsy. Anybody ? or should I ask somewhere else ?
[08:19] <clearzen> neil_d: don't know. I'm about to find out. Good thing I have backups
[08:19] <Stevethepirate> spdf: You still there?
[08:21] <jurgentje> Hi... I just installed openttd using synaptics, but is there an easy way to know where a certain program was installed?
[08:21] <spdf> Stevethepirate: Yeh.. I can see that the ubuntu 24-4 kernel has iwl4965, not -7 though..
[08:21] <Stevethepirate> okay.
[08:21] <spdf> Stevethepirate: Just trying to track down what happened to it
[08:21] <Stevethepirate> Okay.
[08:21] <Stevethepirate> If you wanna pm me thats okay?

[08:22]  * clearzen sighs
[08:22] <clearzen> no dice
[08:22] <spdf> Stevethepirate: Are you on gusty?
[08:23] <Stevethepirate> spdf: No, hardy
[08:23] <neil_d> wikityler: I don't know,    does <ls -1> | cp -r - /destination     work
[08:24] <keoni> i am working with something like this for the boot records " sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1 | nc ip port" on the side i want to copy and " nc -l -p 777 | dd bs=512 count=1 of=boot.img
[08:24] <sarthor> Hi, i have connected usb cd drive to my laptop, in "tail -f /var/log/messages" i can see the logs here "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55950/", but the Drive is not auto matically mounted, how to mount manually ??
[08:24] <keoni> i am trying to make an image over network
[08:24] <keoni> is this on the right track
[08:24] <kohwj> shayan: what do you mean by qt? qt apps? sure! no problem at all on linux- look at KDE and company
[08:25] <punsad> is there a good channel for bloggers?
[08:25] <guyfawke> I need some help with encrypted lvm install with gutsy. Anybody ? or should I ask somewhere else ?
[08:25] <pawan1> hello
[08:25] <Stevethepirate> sarthor: hi.
[08:25] <spdf> Stevethepirate: I'm going to have to say check out #ubuntu+1
[08:26] <Stevethepirate> Okay.
[08:26] <Stevethepirate> That suckz0r
[08:26] <Stevethepirate> they are useless
[08:26] <sarthor> Stevethepirate, Hi,
[08:26] <shayan> kohwj , yes I managed to run it but I am using gnome
[08:26] <Stevethepirate> but thanks for ur help
[08:26] <spdf> Stevethepirate: The file lists aren't up for a lot of the hardy packages
[08:26] <Stevethepirate> sarthor: Hai. Check out fstab
[08:26] <spdf> Stevethepirate: The last kernel with it in is -4, as far as I know
[08:26] <neil_d> keoni: I think you will need something like    "sudo mount -t auto /dev/sr0 <mount point>"
[08:27] <sarthor> Stevethepirate, i am new to linux. dont understand fstab, !
[08:27] <keoni> why is that
[08:28] <sarthor> neil_d,  sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb /media/hd1
[08:28] <sarthor> mount: special device /dev/sdb does not exist
[08:28] <sarthor> I want to identify what is my CD Drive, hda, sdb, or what??
[08:29] <Stevethepirate> sarthor: okay, fstab is a file, that basically gets run on startup.
[08:29] <Stevethepirate> you can put ur mount options in it.
[08:29] <neil_d> sarthor:  I think you will need something like    "sudo mount -t auto /dev/sr0 <mount point>"   note not sdb use sr0
[08:29] <Stevethepirate> and they will be run outmatically.
[08:29] <guyfawke> I need some help with encrypted lvm install with gutsy. Anybody ?
[08:29] <guyfawke> I have a fresh installed gutsy machine with encrypted lvm [works fine LUKS passphrase on boot]. What I wanted achieve was to remove the passphrase prompt and use a USB flash drive instead. I created a new key from /dev/urandom and cryptsetup luksAddKey'ed it and copied the root.key to a usb flash drive..
[08:29] <Mavokas> Bom dia !!! tem alguém no campus party???
[08:29] <Ububegin> how i do append to a existing classpath... i thot it was like this.. export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/etc ... but it doesnt work...
[08:31] <sarthor> sudo mount -t auto /dev/sr0 <mount point> it worked thanks
[08:31] <pawan1> hi
[08:32] <guyfawke> hi pawan
[08:36] <guyfawke> I have a fresh installed gutsy machine with encrypted lvm [works fine LUKS passphrase on boot]. What I wanted achieve was to remove the passphrase prompt and use a USB flash drive instead. I created a new key from /dev/urandom and cryptsetup luksAddKey'ed it and copied the root.key to a usb flash drive.. But on boot I am still prompted for LUKS passphrase and does not seem to pick up the key...
[08:36] <guyfawke> ...from the first partition of the usb drive.. [waitusb doesnt seem to be in effect as well].
[08:41] <hhp2k> Hey everyone.. I have an IBM thinkpad laptop (older model) that I just bought a USB wireless access dongle for.. the brand is "netcomm" and I can't find that brand anywhere in this list at the ubuntu forums (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported). Is there any advice for newer brands/models?
[08:41] <hhp2k> Sorry, that brand is actually "NetCore"
[08:43] <guyfawke> hhp2k: lspci might help
[08:43] <guyfawke> sorry..
[08:43] <guyfawke> lsusb
[08:43] <guyfawke> or cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
[08:43] <hhp2k> tried that, and it didn't pull up any relevant information. Ubuntu doesn't seem to notice when I plug it in.
[08:44] <guyfawke> dmesg ?
[08:44] <hhp2k> bit of a terminal noob :P Sorry, holdon
[08:44] <hhp2k> let me try ca
[08:44] <hhp2k> *cat
[08:46] <taisei> hi
[08:46] <hhp2k> k, dir not found
[08:46] <taisei> hello everyone
[08:46] <guyfawke> hhp2k: which version of ubuntu are you running ?
[08:46] <hhp2k> 7.10
[08:47] <hhp2k> fresh install
[08:47] <Laibsch> Hi, am I mistaken or has ubuntu not yet released a kernel update for the recently published exploit?
[08:48] <telexicon> Laibsch, its been released
[08:49] <Didot> hi all
[08:50] <ph0rensic> Laibsch: Not sure off hand But I know there was a kernel upgrade a few days ago
[08:50] <ph0rensic> telexicon: Ahh thanks
[08:50] <FloodBot2> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[08:50] <guyfawke> I have a fresh installed gutsy machine with encrypted lvm [works fine LUKS passphrase on boot]. What I wanted achieve was to remove the passphrase prompt and use a USB flash drive instead. I created a new key from /dev/urandom and cryptsetup luksAddKey'ed it and copied the root.key to a usb flash drive..

[08:50] <guyfawke> ...from the first partition of the usb drive.. [waitusb doesnt seem to be in effect as well].
[08:51] <ph0rensic> Is there a recommended front end for streamtuner??
[08:51] <meekolope> thats interesting guyfawke
[08:51] <meekolope> is your whole partition encrypted?
[08:52] <guyfawke> meekolope: yes
[08:52] <amer> hi , how can i add environment variable to the system and keep it for ever? please any help.
[08:53] <meekolope> so u want ure system to basicly be locked up unless u have ure usb flash plugged in at boot?
[08:53] <osfameron> amer: add it to your .bashrc: export VAR=value
[08:54] <guyfawke> meekolope: I chose the encrypted lvm install and everything works fine with the passphrase.. but I am unable to get the correct steps for booting without entering the passphrase.   http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/428

[08:54] <Mushrooms> I've been using Ubuntu straight these last three days, and i'm a little disappointed with the unusually long time required for boot up. does anyone else get this same problem?
[08:54] <guyfawke> yes.. followed the above guide for creating the root.key and adding it via cryptsetup and copied it to usb drive [also tried a usb with a ext3 partition]
[08:55] <guyfawke> tried various kernel parameters like waitusb=100 and key=root.key
[08:55] <meekolope> oooh so u just dont want the pass phrase u want it to auto login with your key from the flash drive?
[08:55] <guyfawke> nothing takes effect.. starts off to the LUKS Passphrase prompt
[08:55] <amer> osfameron, where the default environment variables stored in the system.
[08:55] <guyfawke> yes you are right meekolope
[08:55] <mutantx> can someone help me on how I can convert a video file to an iPod/iPod Touch format under linux?
[08:57] <anja> mutantx: ffmpeg or transcode should do it
[08:57] <meekolope> ok
[08:57] <meekolope> let me look at this tutorial real quick, see if i have any bright ideas
[08:57] <Laibsch> telexicon, ph0rensic: You were right.  Thanks.  I noticed that some of my entries in sources.list have not been fetching for a few days.  I guess it must be all the guys updating their kernels overloading the security servers.
[08:58] <mutantx> anja: I looked around on how to do it, I can't find anything...
[08:58] <idefix> what is the program for quick graph file extention changing?
[08:59] <Laibsch> telexicon, ph0rensic: I'll add a second entry for security to my local apt-proxy
[08:59] <Mushrooms> *sigh* i'm totally out of luck today, doesn't seem like anyone could help me
[08:59] <telexicon> Laibsch, you can use mirrors for security updates
[08:59] <anja> did you try googling ffmpeg ipod? http://www.julien-oster.de/content/ffmpeg-ipod.html
[09:00] <guyfawke> Mushrooms: could you disable the quiet and splash options from the boot and check the messages
[09:01] <Laibsch> telexicon: yes, apt-proxy should take care of that from now on (I hope).
[09:01] <guyfawke> you can then see if there is any particular step that is taking too long..
[09:01] <mutantx> anja: Thanks man... I seriously googled around and couldn't find anything like that... I'm going to try it out...
[09:01] <Mushrooms> guyfawke: how do i do that?
[09:01] <fonscho> # /ubuntu
[09:02] <Laibsch> telexicon: My thought was that pulling straight from security.ubuntu.com would give me more timely fixes, but of course the opposite is true (as is evidenced in my case)
[09:02] <guyfawke> at the grub prompt.. you can 'e'dit the kernel line and remove the quiet and splash options, the 'b'oot
[09:03] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: i've seen quite a few tips/tweaks for speeding up start time on the internet ... try google "ubuntu improve performance" "ubuntu speed start-up" and such, if  no one here knows.  You'll get a lot of more info
[09:03] <meekolope> guyfawke: ok i just glanced over the tutorial
[09:04] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: i see
[09:04] <meekolope> guyfawke: so u followed the usb portition of the document exactly?
[09:04] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: but unless you have serious problems, i wouldn't apply all the tweaks you read about
[09:05] <Mushrooms> i'll have a look into it, but after timing it for the first time today, 4 minutes and 48 seconds was a bit rough, that's from pushing the power button to the login screen
[09:05] <slugz> i need help making my laptop dual boot with windows vista and ubuntu, i'm not sure how to resize the hard drive
[09:05] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: ok thats a problem
[09:05] <guyfawke> meekolope: yep. I have added the key using cryptsetup luksAddKey ... etc. [basically the whole section 'Get rid of that password query']
[09:05] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: you thought you just wanted tweaks
[09:05] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: *i thought
[09:06] <slugz> what does the bar mean, how much to resize of how much space i have left
[09:06] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: :( i'm in trouble now
[09:06] <guyfawke> slugz: you have vista already on it or you have ubuntu and want to install vista ?
[09:06] <slugz> i already have vista on it
[09:07] <slugz> and i want to install ubuntu
[09:07] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: first time ubuntu or is it an upgrade?
[09:07] <slugz> first time
[09:07] <^cLuBk|d^> what is the default password of the root when you install the server edition ?
[09:07] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: I tried to use ubuntu before fiesty or something... but that was on a different computer, Just this week I decided to have another crack at using the whole linux thing again
[09:07] <meekolope> guyfawke: i have an idea
[09:08] <guyfawke> slugz: okay resize your windows partition [ntfs type] down so that you have atleast 4GB free for Ubuntu [more if you can afford it]
[09:08] <slugz> the new partition bar shows 86%
[09:08] <^cLuBk|d^> when I install it, it doesnt give me a field or area to set a root password
[09:08] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: actually fiesty was pretty quick at boot up
[09:08]  * guyfawke is all ears
[09:08] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: what version do you have? gutsy?
[09:08] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: i have gutsy now
[09:08] <meekolope> guyfawke: is ure entire partition encrypted including your /boot directory?
[09:08] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: does it work properly once it's started up?
[09:08] <guyfawke> no .. /dev/sda5 is the lvm that is encrypted
[09:09] <guyfawke>  /dev/sda1 is /boot
[09:09] <slugz> guyfawke, which option option should i pick? the first one or manual
[09:09] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yep it works well when it has reached the login screen. but anything between grub and login is a bit strange
[09:09] <guyfawke> you are installing gutsy ?
[09:09] <meekolope> ok
[09:09] <^cLuBk|d^> any help?
[09:09] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: Also, I notice that in fiesty, when the computer is loading, it has that signature ubuntu logo with a loading bar on the bottom
[09:09] <meekolope> guyfawke: did u copy that script that checks the presence of a usb flash drive exactly?
[09:10] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: however, i do not see this anymore in gutsy
[09:10] <guyfawke> slugz: then choose "Resize and use free space"
[09:10] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: black screen?
[09:10] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: black screen.
[09:10] <kaka> any know about jackfield
[09:11] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: I thought i screwed up my very first installation of gutsy (because i had multiple monitors plugged in)
[09:11] <slugz> guyfawke, what does the 86% it has on the bar indicate?
[09:11] <amer> osfameron, thanks. it's working now
[09:11] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: so i decided to format/reinstall
[09:11] <osfameron> amer: cool
[09:11] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: with the external monitor disconnected
[09:11] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: the very first time when i had it connectd, i was able to see the logo and the loadup on the secondary monitor
[09:12] <meekolope> guyfawke: did u copy that script that checks the presence of a usb flash drive exactly?
[09:12] <guyfawke> 86% of the hard disk size.. it will also have other values.
[09:12] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: i'm trying to find something out there ... should be able to fix this
[09:12] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: thank you so much for your help
[09:13] <guyfawke> meekolope: Silly me. I assumed that since the guide was nearly 2 years old, gutsy would already have it ... and since the encrypted lvm install was available from installer, I skipped all steps till 'Get rid of that password query'
[09:13] <glick> hio
[09:13] <threefcata> is it possible to make a window transparent under metacity?
[09:13] <glick> hey is anyone running ubuntu on a dell latitude d830 by any chance?
[09:13] <meekolope> guyfawke: ahhh so u see
[09:14] <meekolope> guyfawke: that script i believe is what checks to see if your usb drive is plugged in and if it has a root.key on it
[09:14] <kaka> anyone know about jackfield?
[09:14] <guyfawke> meekolope: Let me try that
[09:15] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: laptop?
[09:15] <Mushrooms> yes
[09:15] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yes, laptop
[09:15] <meekolope> guyfawke: yes re read that section, also make sure in the script that it checks for the correct partitions you are using
[09:15] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: found someone with your problem
[09:15] <sirius-black> hey
[09:15] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: is this on the ubuntu forums?
[09:16] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: am reading this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/17235
[09:16] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: link at the bottom of the page might be a fix
[09:16] <glick> i just got a new dell, and other then bio updates, what abotu those other firmware updates for things like the cdrom and stuff
[09:17] <slugz> correct me if am wrong, the rest of the 100%-86%, will be used for ubuntu installation right?
[09:17] <glick> are those necessary?
[09:17] <redarrow> moin oktanouc
[09:17] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yep i'm reading it now. wow tweaking with the kernel (?) i hope i don't screw anything up
[09:17] <redarrow> wrong!
[09:17] <guyfawke> slugz: yes
[09:17] <sirius-black> hey, i just installed linux 2 days ago...
[09:17] <kaka> how to install jackfield?
[09:17] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: not tweaking kernel, just tweaking the grub list entry
[09:17] <kaka> please
[09:17] <slugz> guyfawke, thank you very much
[09:17] <guyfawke> slugz: you will be warned in the next step
[09:17] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: backup the file before you change it
[09:18] <sirius-black> yea, same question more or less, i downloaded all the jack software and it still doesn't work
[09:18] <guyfawke> slugz: about the exact steps that are going to be performed. review them. make sure they make sense.
[09:18] <slugz> ok, i will
[09:18] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: may I please pm you?
[09:19] <kaka> jackfield is a dashboard like an OSX
[09:19] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: yes --

[09:20] <jmut> hi. I have cat /etc/issue  Ubuntu 6.06 LTS \n \l          and want to make somehow dist-upgrade as my packages are kind of messed up.     any pointers on howto do this
[09:20] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: oh just write it here, i'll help you out
[09:20] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: never mind i'll plow through this tutorial, thanks for helping me, and by backing up grub... i really have no idea how to do that
[09:20] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: i'll tell you
[09:21] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: ok i'm ready
[09:21] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: can you open a terminal?
[09:21] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: a terminal window
[09:21] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: opened
[09:21] <glick> how much space do you typically give ubuntu when you dual boot?
[09:22] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: i'm gussing i need to do a "sudo cp <original file> <originalfile.backup>" or something
[09:22] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst .            there's a space and a period after 'lst'
[09:22] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: that's another way
[09:22] <glick> i have 120gigs but i don know how much i should allocate to buntu
[09:22] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: mine just copies it to your home
[09:22] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: ok i'll use your method today
[09:23] <rebecca2930> hey guys hal compile is bombing out because it says it needs volume_id version is 74 but need 77 how do i fix this?
[09:23] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: your way is sudo /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub.menu.lst.backup
[09:23] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: both are fine (mine means you have to remember that it goes in /boot/grub)
[09:23] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: i see, ok i have done sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst .
[09:24] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: you see it in your home?
[09:24] <sirius-black> hey, i was wondering what i could use to make a (more or less) bejeweld-ish game
[09:24] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yes, there's a menu.lst file in there
[09:24] <jmut> can someone point me to a tutorial or something on howto perform dist-upgrade
[09:24] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: the period at the end is short for "current directory", so you copied it there
[09:24] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: i see, i understand.
[09:24] <glick> is kubuntu better for laptops?
[09:25] <Arenlor> jmut just run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[09:25] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: ok now should anything go wrong, you can just copy it back .. try their fix, it probably will work since the problem fits your description so well
[09:26] <ja_> I've installed a program that will interpret mouse gestures in gnome. I want to use them to navigate nautilus but can't find any commands. Is it possible to issue commands to cause nautilus to go Back / forward / Up etc. ?
[09:26] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: ok, now in the event that i do something really bad, i recover the backup by going "sudo cp menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst" ?
[09:26] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: yes
[09:27] <guyfawke> glick: depends on what you want to do.. [media and files take up majority..].. OS wil take about 6G Max [almost every package].. so 20G is a decent size for playing with ubuntu.. 60G if you are serious everyday everyhour user.
[09:27] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: you will only be changing the vga resolution , apparently
[09:28] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: I see, I will go and have a crack at it now.. wow i'm feeling adventurous today haha. I hope everything will work
[09:28] <glick> i wont install every package
[09:29] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: So basically i get the impression that by removing splash and quite, it's just two lines of code?
[09:29] <guyfawke> glick: I have a pretty usable system running off 6G, with some development environ etc..
[09:30] <glick> guyfawke, i might want to download some music/pr0n and rip some dvds as well
[09:30] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: they are options given to the startup screen (splash shows the logo, quiet doesn't show startup messages)
[09:31] <Arenlor> Is someone able to recommend a nice KHTML based web browser?
[09:31] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: remember in case of emergency that the full path to your copy is /home/your_user_name/menu.lst
[09:31] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: ok i'll write that down somewhere now
[09:31] <guyfawke> if you are ripping dvds.. [each dvd rip will be 4-8G] so keep that in mind.. you better go for 60G.. [that way you can keep some and offload occasionally to a external hdd
[09:31] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: you can't lose any data by doing this, by the way ,,, at the very worst you'll get a headache. i hope it works
[09:32] <danisahne> hi guys

[09:35] <cyroul> I really need help, all my user folder has disappeared after a reboot, anyone can help pls
[09:35] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: "sudo cp /etc/usplash.conf ."?
[09:35] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: yes
[09:36] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: done
[09:36] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: that way you can restore everything to the way it is now ... you will only be changing two files
[09:36] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: if you need to restore your copies, first copy them back and then execute step 3 of the fix
[09:37] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: i'm glad you stuck around cuz i forgot that
[09:37] <jay-oh-en> can somebody help  me get a webserver up
[09:37] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: step 3 rebuilds the splash screen using the configuration files
[09:38] <fanat1k> Hello. Could somebody tell me how to make computer with Ubuntu available for Windows-machines?
[09:38] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: "sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r`" <-- this is the step to restore everything?
[09:38] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: right .... if after you do that and reboot it didn't work, you can copy back the files and execute that command again
[09:38] <fanat1k> It's available form unix-machines, but it's requires a password from windows :(
[09:39] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: i see, i better write that down on paper too
[09:39] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: yes, good to do
[09:39] <glick> is kubuntu as polished as ubuntu>

[09:39] <fradim> I've got a problem with my keyboard and x11. This is the error _ can anyone help? http://rafb.net/p/EicfsP53.html
[09:40] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: let me give another tip for this kind of thing: sudo apt-get install elinks
[09:40] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: elinks is a text only web browser that you can use in any emergency where you can't access anything but a terminal
[09:40] <goliath> im having trouble with playing dvd with my external USB dvd player/burner  In ubuntu 6.06.1 Pointing either xine or vlc to /dev/sr0 works not in 7.10
[09:40] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: oh ok, excellent
[09:41] <jay-oh-en> can somebody help  me get a webserver up
[09:41] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: so you can google, etc from a terminal should you ever have trouble getting to your desktop
[09:41] <jpatrick> !server > jay-oh-en
[09:41] <fanat1k> Could somebody tell me how to make computer with Ubuntu available for Windows-machines? It's available form unix-machines, but it requires a password from windows :(
[09:41] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: just no images :)
[09:41] <jay-oh-en> jpatrick, i dont want ubuntu server
[09:41] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: would you recommend me installing that now?
[09:42] <jay-oh-en> jpatrick, i want to make one on my current ubuntu instal
[09:42] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: to run it, just type elinks ... yeah install it now ... try out after install, it's pretty cool
[09:42] <jpatrick> jay-oh-en: even easier
[09:42] <stdin> Mushrooms: there is one called w3m already installed, but elinks is a bit more advanced in features
[09:42] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: elinks google.com, for example --- then arrow keys go back/forward, and type "G" to go to a specific url
[09:42] <ricky_clarkson> Can I use mobile broadband, via the USB dongle, in Ubuntu?
[09:43] <prince_jammys> stdin this is true
[09:43] <Sushi> hi there
[09:43] <prince_jammys> stdin forgot
[09:43] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys stdin: so basically it's like trying to access a website using telnet and all it spits out is text
[09:43] <stdin> prince_jammys, Mushrooms: and if you install gpm you can use the mouse in the terminal and navigate in elinks with it ;)
[09:44] <jay-oh-en> jpatrick, so can you help me
[09:44] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: try iit and see -- like stdin said, you actually already have one -- elinks is a bit fancier in style
[09:44] <jpatrick> jay-oh-en: depends on what kind of server you want
[09:44] <AlgorithmicContr> She embarrasses me.
[09:45] <stdin> Mushrooms: like telnet except it doesn't print raw html, it's formatted and elinks has support for frames and the like
[09:45] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: to enter text into a google, move the cursor to the text box and then hit enter to edit the text
[09:45] <jay-oh-en> jpatrick, to put a website on it
[09:45] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys stdin: yeah that's pretty cool the set out is like google, but just in text
[09:45] <jpatrick> !lamp > jay-oh-en
[09:45] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: use it in case of emergency
[09:46] <stdin> if you remember the days of "WAP", then you'll be familiar with it
[09:46] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys stdin: but i have a question, i navigated the cursor to the place where you normally type in your query, but what do i press to allow me to start typing in there?
[09:46] <ph0rensic> Is there a recommended front end for streamtuner??
[09:46] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms hit enter and edit the text
[09:46] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: ah ok, yep i got it. this is pretty cool. thank you
[09:47] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: annoying, but oh well -- elinks actually allows you to do it with a mouse, but you wouldn't be able to in a real terminal
[09:47] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yeah this is like the last ray of hope
[09:47] <stdin> prince_jammys: that's why i said to install gpm, then you can use the mouse in a real term :)
[09:48] <CyanideD> can anyone in here help me install Berly on ubuntu 6.06
[09:48] <prince_jammys> stdin right Mushrooms if you want mouse use in a tty terminal try stdin's suggestion
[09:48] <Sushi> I'm probably not the first person to ask it today.. anyone knows how can I revert back to firefox 2.0 on hardy ?
[09:48] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: how do I quit out?

[09:49] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: now your ass is thoroughly covered so you try that fix
[09:49] <stdin> Mushrooms: you can click the top part (invisible) to display the menus
[09:50] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yep, ok, i'll attempt that now
[09:50] <Mushrooms> stdin: yep i'll try that again

[09:54] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: from the original file --- look at the menu.lst file
[09:54] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: oh i could check that from the menu.lst

[09:58] <jay-oh-en> jpatrick, yo it says this tasksel: aptitude failed (100) when trying to sudo taskel install lamp-server or whatever
[09:59] <ph0rensic> jay-oh-en: Tryin g to install a lamp server?
[10:00] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: ok i'm ready to roll, reboot time, talk to you soon, i hope
[10:00] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: drumroll ...
[10:00] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: hehe ok bbl
[10:01] <Kitten> hmm are there even any ppc releases  still? or do I have to get an older release?
[10:01] <snailrails> Hi, I've got a ubuntu minimal install ( 50 MB gziped ) I'm having so many problems installing a lamp server... permissions of /tmp were wrong. Bind9 cannot access /dev/console. help.
[10:01] <jay-oh-en> ph0rensic, yes
[10:01] <jay-oh-en> ph0rensic, i want to put my website on my server
[10:02] <ph0rensic> jay-oh-en: If I recall tasksel is run by itself which produces a graphical interface where you can install that way.. I always use the apt-get install version though
[10:02] <prince_jammys> jay-oh-en: what was the exact command that gave you the error message
[10:02] <brambo> what could i type into my terminal windows so it gets the newest flash player and installs it for me?
[10:02] <brambo> what can i get*
[10:02] <ph0rensic> brambo: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restriced-extras
[10:02] <snailrails> is there there no 'apt-get 'setup a working lamp system' command
[10:02] <jay-oh-en> sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[10:03] <ph0rensic> snailrails: yah hold on 1 sec.. what php version you want?
[10:03] <snailrails> 5
[10:03] <prince_jammys> jay-oh-en:  sudo apt-get install whatver_you_want_to_install
[10:03] <nix> how do i get emerald thmer?
[10:03] <brambo> E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restriced-extra
[10:03] <prince_jammys> jay-oh-en: that's why you got an error
[10:03] <ph0rensic> brambo extras?
[10:03] <jay-oh-en> prince_jammys, i tried that but it cant find lamp-server
[10:03] <jay-oh-en> prince_jammys, why?
[10:04] <brambo> i want the newest flash player for my browser to install
[10:04] <rvalles> I have some doubts regarding X configuration in ubuntu. First problem is that it generated a config with "us" keyboard instead of "es", no idea why. Second is, I modified it to "es", then changed monitors... but it doesn't autogenerate again! So I have the wrong resolutions and timings (much lower). Tried reverting "es"->"us" without luck. How do I make Ubuntu regenerate its X configuration file? How do I make Ubuntu know my keyboard is "es" so it ..
[10:04] <ph0rensic> sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server

[10:04] <Kitten> ah found it, weird that its not on ubuntus page anymore
[10:04] <jay-oh-en> k
[10:05] <ph0rensic> brambo did you try it with an s at the end?
[10:05] <snailrails> I need to go from ubuntu minimal --> LAMP
[10:05] <ph0rensic> brambo: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:05] <ph0rensic> jay-oh-en: You get that command?
[10:05] <prince_jammys> jay-oh-en: i may be wrong on this, but i don't think there is a single command to install a lamp server. you need to install apache, mysql, php etc... there is a tutorial on the internet called ubuntu server guide
[10:05] <jay-oh-en> ph0rensic, yes
[10:06] <ph0rensic> prince_jammys: I just gave it to him.. you used to be able to use tasksel .. im not sure if they still have that option
[10:06] <nix> how do i get emerald thmer? anyone?
[10:06] <prince_jammys> jay-oh-en: there is also something called xammp
[10:06] <brambo> hang on a min its asking for my unbuntu cd
[10:06] <ph0rensic> prince_jammys: there is also damp, wamp, and quite a few others ;-)
[10:08] <jay-oh-en> prince_jammys, mind giving me the link? i looked for it on google but i dont know which one was the right onme
[10:08] <prince_jammys> jay-oh-en: you can even get the whole server guide like this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-serverguide
[10:08] <idefix> you cannot search in the X-chat logs :(
[10:08] <jay-oh-en> prince_jammys, lol
[10:08] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: thanks for your help it's all good and working I could tell as soon as that 'shutdown ubuntu logo' popped up
[10:08] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: great
[10:09] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: i can't thank you enough, you just raised 100 points on my ubuntu experience meter :p
[10:09] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: heh, thats how it works
[10:10] <AnRkey> is samba slow for anyone else here?

[10:14] <hit> has anyone here got identd to work for irc?
[10:14] <hit> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227857 used this howto but nothing
[10:14] <prince_jammys> jay-oh-en: once you have installed the guide, view it in a browser by pasting: /usr/share/ubuntu-serverguide/html/en_GB/index.html
[10:14] <ph0rensic> In-Sane: It is a group of packages: It has g-streamer, flash non-free, Java 6
[10:15] <PaTeeLA> hit: do u mean the nick identify?
[10:15] <hit> PaTeeLA, identd
[10:15] <prince_jammys> prince_jammys: make a bookmark of that -- you basically just downloaded all the documents locally
[10:15] <hit> ident daemon
[10:15] <ph0rensic> nix: What version ubuntu do you have
[10:15] <PaTeeLA> hit: well, then i guess i dont know what that is.. sry
[10:16] <In-Sane> ph0rensic: Oh, thats clear, so it brings non-free stuff. thanks
[10:16] <ph0rensic> nix: should be sudo apt-get install emerald emerald-themes
[10:16] <rvalles> About X. First problem is that it created a config with "us" keyboard instead of "es", no idea why.

[10:19] <PaTeeLA> anyone know why rhythmbox would install differently on different machines?   Like why is it on one machine it come w/KCRW on one install and NOT on another?
[10:19] <rvalles> ph0rensic: what about the "us" keyboard part?
[10:19] <ph0rensic> rvalles: NP
[10:19] <ph0rensic> rvalles: You should be able to select your keyboard layout
[10:19] <rvalles> ph0rensic: it's my sisters' computer. I installed it in her home yesterday :)
[10:19] <ph0rensic> rvalles: It takes you through the process again
[10:19] <ph0rensic> rvalles: haah awesome
[10:20] <snailrails> what is needed to get ubuntu minimal to LAMP besides the usual packages ( mysql etc.. )
[10:20] <ph0rensic> nix: segfault?? hmm it didn't install it?
[10:20] <prince_jammys> jay-oh-en: once you "install" those (installing in this case is really just copying document files), they are stored in /usr/share or /usr/share/doc
[10:20] <nix> ph0rensic: when i entered the code u gave it said: Reading package lists... Done
[10:20] <nix> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[10:20] <prince_jammys> jay-oh-en: usually they come in both html, for a browser, or pdf to print out
[10:20] <jay-oh-en> prince_jammys, your too helpful lol
[10:20] <JosiahW> Is there a more advanced wireless connection manager for gnome than what comes with 7.10?
[10:20] <ph0rensic> nix:  hmm try one at a time?
[10:21] <_coredump_> moin moin
[10:21] <nix> same thing
[10:21] <ph0rensic> snailrails: Hmm... I think there are smaller webservers than apache . if your going for pure size limitations
[10:21] <nix> ph0rensic: same fault
[10:22] <ph0rensic> nix what version ubuntu you have.. btw i have no idea how to trouble shoot a seg fault
[10:22] <rvalles> ph0rensic: problem is it asks me too many questions
[10:22] <snailrails> no. I have ubuntu-minimal install and I want the full LAMP setup. Just there are packages needed over and above the regular lamp ones
[10:22] <rvalles> ph0rensic: but other than that, it seems things are fine; hopefully will be kept that way once new server packages appears and it upgrades, right?
[10:22] <digitalspaghetti> Can anyone help me with a SSHFS issue?  I have a remote directory that I map to a local directory so I can access and work with it easy.  I'm using Krusader as a WinSCP clone, and I go to copy between one remote directory and another (also on SSHFS) but when I start copying the remote dir I am copying from drops, and in Nautilus it changes from a directory to a empty file
[10:22] <ph0rensic> rvalles: There isn't an option just to selec your layout?
[10:22] <digitalspaghetti> Anyone any ideas?
[10:22] <rvalles> ph0rensic: no, it asks me step by step stuff
[10:22] <nix> ph0rensic: 7.10
[10:23]  * syc_ mohon pamid
[10:23] <rvalles> ph0rensic: the defaults are fine, but the amount of questions is debian-like, rather than ubuntu-like
[10:23] <ph0rensic> nix: Is this an older system??
[10:23] <ph0rensic> rvalles: haha .. yah I don't like that either.. I mean Im pretty sure I know my keyboard layout ya know
[10:23] <digitalspaghetti> I have to keep umount'ing it and remounting it, but it keeps dropping
[10:24] <rvalles> ph0rensic: maybe it _is_ supposed to act that way, thinking that because I'm the one requesting to "reconfigure" it, I must want to have control over stuff
[10:24] <nix> ph0rensic: what u mean by old   :P
[10:24] <ph0rensic> rvalles: There is always editing the xorg.conf file if you know what your doing
[10:24] <ph0rensic> rvalles: Well it is meant to go through the whole process to make sure your system is set up to work
[10:24] <rvalles> ph0rensic: yeah, I know, but I've been avoiding that just because it's not my computer and I want upgrades to properly regenerate her X conf file.
[10:24] <ph0rensic> nix: hehe I dunno.. I dont know much about seg faults .. other than they are not good
[10:24] <rvalles> (editing xorg.conf by hand)
[10:25] <nix> ph0rensic: could it do with my partitions? wtf is a segment?

[10:25] <jay-oh-en> @lart 8 you
[10:25] <jpatrick> jay-oh-en: please don't go that here
[10:25] <rvalles> ph0rensic: she and her husband never had a computer before, now they have a computer I have set up for them, with ubuntu :)
[10:25] <killown|away> when I press ctrl + alt + f1 or f2 .... I cannot se anyomore console terminal ...it show me only black screen how do I to fix it?
[10:26] <jay-oh-en> k
[10:26] <ph0rensic> nix: I dont know why thats not working man... im one of the lucky users where everything works.. (except automatix heeh)
[10:26] <ph0rensic> rvalles: That is wonderful, Im sure they will love it
[10:26] <rvalles> ph0rensic: I hope I can manage... one issue is this one, which will somehow work in any case, the other one is that their WPA2-enabled wifi should connect during boot (they have the wifi router in a different room and no cable).
[10:26] <jay-oh-en> killown|away, same with me
[10:26] <Asra> ello
[10:27] <nix> ph0rensic: o well... tanks ne way
[10:27] <killown|away> omg
[10:27] <rvalles> ph0rensic: somehow I was having trouble with network manager; today I'm supposed to fix this two remaining issues and explain them the basics; I'll go to their place after I have lunch x)
[10:27] <ph0rensic> rvalles: I think if the wpa2 doesn't connect it is most likely a setting of the wireless on the ubuntu setup. I remember I had to tweak the settings to find the one that worked with wpa2
[10:28] <Asra> people I got a little problem. I'm fairly new to the whole Ubuntu/linux thing. Is there a way to automatically start my Wired network on startup?
[10:28] <rvalles> ph0rensic: it does connect... if I tell network manager to connect. But not remember to do so after reboot.
[10:28] <neil_d> which cd version do I download the get the 'encrypted LVM' option ?
[10:28] <ph0rensic> rvalles: Ahh i see
[10:28] <ph0rensic> neil_d: If I were to guess it would be the alternate install
[10:29] <ph0rensic> neil_d: But dont quote me on that hehe
[10:29] <killown|away> jay-oh-en, do you have nvidia fx card?
[10:29] <jay-oh-en> rvalles, what you need is the command for connecting to that and putting it in the autostart folder
[10:30] <neil_d> ph0rensic: that isn't listed on the http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download page !
[10:30] <jay-oh-en> killown|away, no
[10:30] <yousif> hi all. i would like to know how i can convert odp to mpeg4 in linux or online. thank you in advance
[10:30] <JosiahW> Does anybody know of any software for that? For instance if I were walking down Las Vegas BLVD and I wanted to see a visual map of all the wireless network connections and their strength within the reach of my card.
[10:30] <ph0rensic> neil_d: hmm you just missed someone that had an issue with it.. he would have known.....
[10:30] <Asra> no body got a clue?
[10:30] <jay-oh-en> neil_d, theres a little box that says do you need alternate cd
[10:31] <rvalles> jay-oh-en: not valid
[10:31] <ph0rensic> JosiahW: There is .. for linux or win??
[10:31] <rvalles> jay-oh-en: this computer is multi-user.
[10:31] <rvalles> it should connect before logging in
[10:31] <neil_d> jay-oh-en: oh! I spoted it.
[10:31] <meekolope> Josiah: define visual map?
[10:31] <jay-oh-en> Asra, i need more details
[10:32] <JosiahW> ph0rensic: for linux / gnome
[10:33] <ph0rensic> JosiahW: You know they have websites tha already have that information available ...
[10:33] <jay-oh-en> JosiahW, you live in las vegas? i do too :D
[10:33] <xxx_> s
[10:34] <enzo> hi
[10:34] <demon981> hi there
[10:34] <JosiahW> ph0rensic: I am doing it for setting up a large wireless network in my building and want to be able to find eactly the best areas to place repeaters
[10:34] <jay-oh-en> Jon, i was trying to use your name lol but it said it was taken by you :[
[10:34] <enzo> i'd like to compile ffmpeg with -x11grab (i don't even understand why it's not activated ! it's activated on debian), how can i create a .deb file by compiling source ?
[10:34] <JosiahW> jay-oh-en: Sure do :)
[10:35] <jay-oh-en> JosiahW, north las vegas?
[10:35] <enzo> for now, i know how to compile and do a make install, but i prefer deeper a .deb file
[10:35] <demon981> how can i make audacious vu meter minimize along with audacious?
[10:35] <jpatrick> !checkinstall | enzo
[10:35] <ubotu> enzo: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[10:35] <ph0rensic> JosiahW: Hmm I remember reading about some good utilities for that ....
[10:35] <JosiahW> jay-oh-en: right now I live in Pahrump but will be moving to north las vegas shortly
[10:35] <yousif> guys i really really need this odp to mpeg4 converter so if anyone has a clue i will be sooooooooooooooooooooo thankfull
[10:35] <enzo> ok jpatrick
[10:36] <JosiahW> ph0rensic: I figured searching for how to steal wifi would be the best bet :)
[10:36] <demon981>  how can i make audacious vu meter minimize along with audacious?
[10:36] <ph0rensic> JosiahW: Have you heard of backtrack?
[10:36] <demon981> plss
[10:36] <jay-oh-en> JosiahW, ive been to Pahrump to that skate park lol its kinda kool to know that there are people in vegas with linux
[10:36] <meekolope> Josiah: i would use kismet and a gps device
[10:37] <meekolope> josiah: or Netstumbler
[10:37] <meborc> hey, does anyone know what is the command to play videos with vlc in framebuffer mode? :)
[10:37] <ph0rensic> meekolope: Kismet thats the one I was thinking of.. netstumbler is for win isnt it?
[10:37] <meekolope> Josiah: then judge by power
[10:38] <meekolope> ph0rensic: right, its not bad
[10:38] <demon981>  how can i make audacious vu meter minimize along with audacious?
[10:38] <meekolope> Ive done quiet a bit of wifi hacking if u have questions
[10:38] <Jon> jay-oh-en: hard luck :)
[10:38] <JosiahW> meekolope: netstumbler... does that require gps as well?
[10:38] <yousif> i have heard it is quite hard to find such a software but i suppose there is no software at all :(
[10:39] <jay-oh-en> demon981, do you have the vu meter next to audacious completely
[10:39] <ph0rensic> JosiahW: Im gonna take a look at my pdf list real quick .. I think I had an e-bool that describes how to do what yur trying to do...it may be the doc for kismet though..
[10:39] <demon981> yes
[10:39] <demon981> and in the panel i have audacious and vu meter
[10:39] <Jon> does anyone know if it's possible to get dmsetup / device mapper to re-scan physical drives? I've got LVM partitions that the gutsy install CD can't see because dm-mod wasn't loaded. I need to fix my MBR :|
[10:39] <james__> How can i get realplayer superpass working?
[10:39] <demon981> they are separate
[10:39] <jay-oh-en> Jon, lol its kool its just i used to hate getting the error when trying to use that name
[10:39] <JosiahW> ph0rensic: thank you
[10:40] <jay-oh-en> !grub | Jon
[10:40] <ubotu> Jon: 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
[10:40] <enzo> is there a way to know the version of ffmpeg that will be in hardy ?
[10:40] <bowo> hi all
[10:40] <Jon> unfortunately grub can't boot from /boot on LVM; so I was on lilo. I've clobbered it with Grub2 (which seems to basically not work, at all.)
[10:40] <Asra> More details .. I don't really got details. Top bar on the screen you got a button called wired network connection ... that can only be activted by clicking on it and selecting your network connection. I want to automate that basically. Sorry if I can't be clearer then that jay-oh-en .. but as I said .. I'm a noob
[10:40] <meekolope> Josiah: neither NEED a gps device
[10:41] <alus> "The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 second. Is is likely that something bad is going on. Halting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0."
[10:41] <alus> ?
[10:41] <alus> this is on a new 7.10 install
[10:41] <alus> the install had barely run for 90 seconds
[10:41] <jay-oh-en> Asra, ill try helping you out just one sec
[10:41] <meekolope> Josiah: they just can be handy. the cheaper way (my way he he) would just to judge it by the power in which u can receive the access points signal
[10:42] <yousif> guys what about ppt to mpeg4
[10:42] <yousif> anyone a clue?
[10:42] <Asra> thnx :)
[10:42] <ph0rensic> JosiahW: I got a couple you should look at: Here are the titles: #1 Choice: Wireless Security - models threats and solutions: Mcgraw-Hill  ... and #2 Internet Security Cryptographic Principles Algorithms and Protocols
[10:42] <JosiahW> okay thank you ph0rensic
[10:43] <demon981>  how can i make audacious vu meter minimize along with audacious?
[10:43] <ph0rensic> JosiahW: I am pretty sure that first one has just want you want
[10:43] <meekolope> Josiah: because when u have kismet or netstumbler running they will give u a signal strength to the access point u are looking at. you should be able to judge
[10:43] <JosiahW> Do you guys know of a better wireless connection manager or even a better network connection manager available for gnome?
[10:43] <JosiahW> ph0rensic: im looking it up right now
[10:43] <meekolope> JosiahW: what are u using right now?
[10:43] <JosiahW> meekolope: I am installing both right now
[10:43] <jay-oh-en> Asra, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/154207      and       https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/83143
[10:44] <ph0rensic> JosiahW: You should also look into the backtrack documentation.. it is a pen testing OS tha has all of the tools we are talking about .. and probably a few more good ones we haven't mentioned
[10:44] <jay-oh-en> Asra, those should get you running
[10:44] <meekolope> JosiahW: as for as a connection manager, what do u use? iwconfig?
[10:44] <JosiahW> meekolope: the default: Network Administration Tool
[10:44] <meekolope> i know of one
[10:44] <jay-oh-en> Asra, never mind
[10:45] <jay-oh-en> Asra, here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/97278
[10:45] <meekolope> JosiahW: ive used it quiet a bit, it works with native linux and ndiswrapper drivers for wireless cards
[10:45] <Asra> Thnx .. I'll look into it and report back as soon as I'm done ;)
[10:45] <jay-oh-en> Asra, the last one i gave you is the tut
[10:45] <JosiahW> meekolope: which one is that?
[10:45] <jay-oh-en> well not the tut but it will help you
[10:45] <alus> so, where can I get help on installing ubuntu?
[10:46] <Asra> thnx jay-oh-en :) think that will be enough for now .. or at least I hope so :D
[10:46] <yousif> I am sorry to repeat my question but i really need this ppt or odp to mpeg4 converter
[10:46] <ph0rensic> JosiahW: http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html
[10:47] <Cew27> hi does anyone know how to fix a folder missmatch error on evolution
[10:47] <wkornewald> is there a special ubuntu server support channel?
[10:47] <ph0rensic> yousif: Hmm Im not sure the best tool, but I know I saw some decent look apps on sourceforge.net earlier
[10:47] <meekolope> JosiahW: its called NetworkManager
[10:48] <meekolope> JosiahW: u are using ubuntu i assume :P?
[10:48] <yousif> ph0rensic: thank you i ll try this
[10:48] <ph0rensic> JosiahW: Cool thing about backtrack is it is a liveCD
[10:48] <jay-oh-en> Asra, can i pm you?
[10:48] <ph0rensic> yousif: Someone mentioned ffmpg for something like this .. but Im not sure cause Ive never used it
[10:49] <yousif> ph0rensic: actually ffmpg makes a copy from the desktop and not a converter
[10:49] <yousif> ph0rensic: i will try this as my last option
[10:49] <ph0rensic> yousif: Ok thanks for clarifying

[10:55] <JosiahW> meekolope: looks like Ubuntu has networkmanager available in apt
[10:56] <hend> Hi, I can't get any TTY consoles. I am running 7.10 (32bit) and have a ATI radeon 2600 gfxcard (running gflrx). When I try get to a console from X using ctrl+alt+F* all I get is a blank screen. After this I can't even get back into X, so I have to do a hard reset to get it to work again. This is a known bug, but all the workarounds I found (fbcon, radeonfb) don't seem to work for me. Anyone know what I can try?
[10:56] <meekolope> JosiahW: i would use it then, because itll be a cleaner install
[10:56] <meekolope> i always try to use apt or an equivilant instead of source when i can
[10:56] <JosiahW> am doin. Think networkmanager is the most advanced wireless manager for gnome?
[10:56] <JosiahW> meekolope: same here :)
[10:57] <meekolope> JosiahW: its always worked for me nicely. its the most like the windows native one. Its easy to use and u can use it for most cards so. whatever works! hehe
[10:58] <merdee> hy

[11:34] <icesword> Solv, what u mean by #!
[11:35] <Solv> icesword, it's a well known shorthand for 'number'
[11:35] <icesword> oh
[11:36] <icesword> Solv, it even does not have a server edtion
[11:36] <icesword> what can no1 do ?
[11:36] <Solv> icesword, but ubuntu doesn't have a tinyme
[11:37] <icesword> Solv, jeos
[11:37] <icesword> without x
[11:37] <Solv> true
[11:37] <Mez> Solv, icesword, this isn't the place to discuss the merits of another operating system, this is a support channel. Please take this chat somewhere else.
[11:37] <speedhunt3r> does kubuntu upgrade to kde 4?
[11:37] <icesword> hehee
[11:37] <soundray> speedhunt3r: yes
[11:37] <Cew27> right im having problems with open arena can anyone help
[11:38] <icesword> i will support ubuntu forever
[11:38] <soundray> speedhunt3r: the hardy release will be KDE 4
[11:39] <Cew27> anyone play open arena?
[11:40] <Survivorman> i used to play it... what is your problem?
[11:40] <Cew27> when im playing in full screen it switches mid game into windowed and i cant control anything and am forced to restart
[11:41] <soundray> Cew27: are you starting it from within gnome?
[11:41] <Cew27> yes i am
[11:42] <Cew27> ubuntu gutsy
[11:42] <soundray> Cew27: try logging into a failsafe session and start it from there to see if it still happens
[11:42] <Cew27> ok what will that prove
[11:42] <soundray> Cew27: it could just be a gnome keybinding
[11:43] <Survivorman> it used to happen to me when some system event was kicking me out... i can't remember if it was an instant message window or something like that
[11:43] <Cew27> soundray:what would that mean if its a keybinding
[11:43] <soundray> Cew27: also, when you lose control, don't  reset. Use Ctrl-Alt-Sysrq R E I S U B
[11:43] <Cew27> yes it did it lastnight with a pidgin convo
[11:43] <prince_jammys> Cew27: key combinations that you are pressing for the game may also be doing something else in gnome
[11:44] <Cew27> what is Ctrl-Alt-Sysrq R E I S U B
[11:44] <neville> I think it gives back control when X crashes and burns?
[11:44] <Cew27> i dont see a sysrq R E I S U B key lol
[11:45] <soundray> Cew27: don't be stupid. It's a magic sysrequest sequence for safe rebooting. You can look it up on the web.
[11:45] <Cew27> i didnt understand what you meant, how do i do it press alt+ctrl and type the above combination
[11:46] <neville> Hold
[11:46] <Survivorman> sysrq is on the delete key on my laptop cew
[11:46] <neville> Control + Alt + Prt Sc/Sysrq
[11:46] <neville> And while you're holding those 3 keys down
[11:46] <soundray> Cew27: hold down ctrl, alt, and sysrq (sometimes labelled PrintScreen). Then type r e i s u b in sequence. It's not meant to be easy
[11:47] <soundray> !enter | neville
[11:47] <neville> Yes
[11:47] <ubotu> neville: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[11:47] <neville> Sorry, I can't help it, it's a bad habit -_-v
[11:47] <Cew27> oh so control alt and print screen
[11:47] <patogen> Is there something like mpd for instant messaging? I know I can use a text-client + screen but I prefer to use a graphical one
[11:48] <Cew27> many thanks
[11:48] <meekolope> patogen: what is mpd?
[11:49] <icesword> i am curious too
[11:49] <patogen> meekolope: music player daemon
[11:50] <icesword> patogen, so what does it do with instant message
[11:50] <patogen> icesword: I would like to have an instant messaging daemon ...
[11:51] <patogen> mpd is for music, but something for instant messagin
[11:51] <meekolope> i had a pretty cool thing i used for AIM for awhile
[11:52] <patogen> meekolope: What was that? I don't use AIM, but it might support something like what I want
[11:53] <meekolope> it was a command line client for aim
[11:53] <patogen> aha, I already know of the option of command line client + screen
[11:54] <meekolope> can u post a picture of something similar to what ure looking for?
[11:55] <meekolope> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instant_messaging_clients
[11:55] <jonathaN> patogen: bitlbee might be something like what you want, it handles most IM protocols and you connect to it with an irc client of your choice
[11:56] <zly> Is there a way to make 'write' popup a message on a running gnome session like in kde ? Currently i'm just getting the message that the user refuses messages. I have put "mesg y" in /etc/profile, and it works when the user has a terminal open.
[11:56] <ballongen> Hey, i have some problem reading national symbols in files and directory names, check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=696100&highlight=ballongen thanks!
[11:56] <chaosphilipp> Hi there, i've got a problem, that might sound a little stupid: how do i run a shell-script?
[11:57] <ballongen> SCP FTP
[11:57] <icesword> chaosphilipp, ./
[11:57] <ballongen> chaky ./file
[11:57] <meekolope> chasosphilipp:
[11:57] <meekolope> chasosphilipp: run this command
[11:57] <chaosphilipp> ah, kay, thanks :)
[11:57] <meekolope> chasosphilipp: ./shellscript            or               sh shellscript.sh
[11:58] <patogen> jonathaN: I'll look into it :)
[11:58] <icesword> patogen, what about gaim
[11:58] <ballongen> pidgin rocks
[11:59] <meekolope> i like pidgen
[11:59] <meekolope> except the direct connection doesnt ever work right
[11:59] <patogen> Yes I like pidgin but it doesn't allow me to shut down the client like a daemon would
[11:59] <ballongen> the only thing i miss in pidgin is the support for msn offline messaging
[11:59] <M-Nagato> meekolope, i don't have problems with direct connect
[12:00] <M-Nagato> with an older version of it i had to manually fill in my ip for dc and transfers to work, but it doesn't need that anymore
[12:00] <ganeshhegd1> is there server version and desktop version in ubuntu 7.10??
[12:00] <chaosphilipp> hmm, ./shellscript.sh brings permission denied, sudo ./shellscript.sh command not found and ./shellscript (without .sh) no such file or directory...
[12:00] <meekolope> M-Nagato: really? what about to other users on windoz/aim clients?
[12:00] <soundray> ganeshhegd1: yes
[12:00] <M-Nagato> the only problem with people using aim is sometimes large pictures get cut in half
[12:00] <icesword> chaosphilipp, chmod +x
[12:00] <M-Nagato> but other than that, it works
[12:00] <ballongen> ganeshhegd1yes
[12:01] <chaosphilipp> yeah, cool, i can fly my helicopter-sim now :)
[12:01] <meekolope> hehe
[12:01] <ganeshhegd1> soundray: how can i knw which 1 I have ....?
[12:01] <ballongen> chaosphilipp: what?
[12:02] <chaosphilipp> (wwww.heli-x.nett )
[12:02] <soundray> chaosphilipp: wow, you've written a helicopter simulation as a shell script?
[12:02] <chaosphilipp> sry,  .nett
[12:02] <chaosphilipp> no, i jusst dowwnloaded one :D
[12:02] <meekolope> M-Nagato: mine doesnt like connecting to windows clients or maybe its aol AIM clients
[12:02] <Weasel__> (X)Ubuntu rocks
[12:02] <soundray> ganeshhegd1: the desktop version boots to a graphical login. Server is just text-based
[12:02] <GarethAdams> hi - if I need to set environment variable for system users (specifically the apache user) then where do I need to export them?
[12:02] <ganeshhegd1> chaosphilipp:from where did u download?
[12:03] <soundray> !server | ganeshhegd1
[12:03] <ubotu> ganeshhegd1: 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
[12:03] <M-Nagato> meekolope, hehe. sounds like maybe there are other problems going on then
[12:03] <chaosphilipp> wwww.heli-x.net
[12:03] <M-Nagato> but i know what you're going through, because a while ago (back when it was still called gaim and before it received the ugly interface it has now), i sometimes had problems connecting to people using AIM
[12:04] <meekolope> M-Nagato: perhaps i have an old version? ill look into it some time
[12:04] <chaosphilipp> ya'll  need a joystick or even better a rc--controller for it
[12:04] <ganeshhegd1> soundray: oh....can i install oracle 11g on desktop version?
[12:04] <icesword> !tab
[12:04] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[12:04]  * soundray fires at chaosphilipp's heli simulation with his shotgun simulation
[12:04] <soundray> ganeshhegd1: there is nothing in the desktop that should prevent it.
[12:05] <icesword> i do not play games
[12:05] <viktor> where can i find screensaver option and power option for screen
[12:06] <soundray> !oracle | ganeshhegd1

[12:07] <GarethAdams> it is possible to set environment variables for non-user accounts?

[12:08] <M-Nagato> HardGay, way to fail with your entrance
[12:08] <cox> Hello All
[12:08] <soundray> GarethAdams: I think so -- try via /etc/environment

[12:09] <M-Nagato> HardGay, no. i'm just saying you failed with the entrance which could've had more potential
[12:09] <M-Nagato> anyway, yes. this is OT. do you have a question?

[12:12] <prince_jammys> chaosphilipp: problem with the resolution in menu.lst and /etc/usplash
[12:13] <fr1ul^h4ck> Hi dudes. I have a web server .. /var/www/ .. i need to change all the index.html that r in the subdirectory of /var/www .. with the new index.html .. i don't know the command to do this.. how can I??
[12:13] <PietSnyman> i need some help installing ubuntu on a desktop pc without an internet connection
[12:13] <soundray> chaosphilipp: ubuntu uses a vesa mode for the boot splash which your machine doesn't support. Go through /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove all occurrences of 'splash'
[12:13] <GarethAdams> soundray: /etc/environment isn't executable - is parsed by another file or do I need to +x it?
[12:13] <soundray> GarethAdams: parsed
[12:14] <fr1ul^h4ck> Hi dudes. I have a web server .. /var/www/ .. i need to change all the index.html that r in the subdirectory of /var/www .. with the new index.html .. i don't know the command to do this.. how can I??
[12:14] <GarethAdams> thanks
[12:14] <prince_jammys> chaosphilipp: check this if it fits your problem -- http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen   if you end you doing the fix, remember to back up the two files you have to edit
[12:14] <chaosphilipp> i'll first check the resolution-thing, afterwards give the soundray-way a try
[12:14] <Survivorman> you need to replace it fr1ul?
[12:14] <fr1ul^h4ck>  if my new index.html is in /root .. can i do: cp -r /var/www/ /root/index.html ??
[12:15] <soundray> chaosphilipp: then the file you want to look at is /etc/usplash.conf
[12:15] <nekoNotHereDammi> stdin i can change my nick if i so choose ~_~
[12:15] <prince_jammys> soundray: the link includes both fixes, menu.lst and /etc/usplash.conf
[12:15] <velo|gfx> hello all
[12:15] <nekoNotHereDammi> plz make the kind note to check if someone is active before bothering - ^^
[12:15] <velo|gfx> http://www.waterstorm-game.com
[12:15] <fr1ul^h4ck> Hi dudes. I have a web server .. /var/www/ .. i need to change all the index.html that r in the subdirectory of /var/www .. with the new index.html .. i don't know the command to do this.. how can I??
[12:15] <fr1ul^h4ck>  if my new index.html is in /root .. can i do: cp -r /var/www/ /root/index.html ??
[12:15] <soundray> prince_jammys: oh, I missed that, thanks
[12:16] <M-Nagato> PietSnyman, what kind of help did you need?
[12:16] <chaosphilipp> i'll follow the link, slow boot and faulty splash screen seems to match my problem very well :)
[12:16] <PietSnyman> i need codecs but can't connect to the net so i can't use the repositories
[12:17] <Survivorman> sudo cp /root/index.html /var/www/
[12:17] <M-Nagato> do you have a way to transfer them from a computer with the internet to that computer?
[12:17] <PietSnyman> no
[12:17] <prince_jammys> chaosphilipp: in case of emergency (which is doubtful - the fix is not dangerous) you can access the internet from a terminal with www-browser (try it if you havent)
[12:17] <MasterMel> when i try to install a program from the command line i get the following error: ImportError: No module named pkg resources
[12:17] <stdin> nekoNotHereDammi: I suggest you read the guidelines
[12:17] <PietSnyman> it's a standalone pc
[12:18] <fr1ul^h4ck>  but with sudo cp /root/index.html /var/www/ i will py index.html only in /var/www .. i want to copy index.html in all the subdirecotiries of /var/www
[12:18] <MasterMel> anyone can help me out with this?
[12:18] <M-Nagato> i mean like, do you have a way to download the codecs on the computer you're currently on, then burn the files and copy them to your ubuntu box?
[12:18] <soundray> fr1ul^h4ck: I would try something like this (no guarantees): for i in $(find /var/www -name index.html) ; do cp index.html $i ; done
[12:19] <prince_jammys> fr1ul^h4ck: try #bash otherwise
[12:19] <M-Nagato> if you have no way at all to get files to that computer then i don't really know what you're expecting us to do
[12:19] <PietSnyman> yes. i don't know where to get them though and how to install them.
[12:19] <M-Nagato> ok then, that's a start. which codecs are you looking for?
[12:19] <nekoNotHereDammi> Changing your nick to user-away is frowned upon.
[12:19] <nekoNotHereDammi> not forbidden
[12:19]  * nekoNotHereDammi pats
[12:20] <PietSnyman> codecs for audio and video files
[12:20] <nekoNotHereDammi> !medibuntu
[12:20] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[12:20] <nekoNotHereDammi> PietSnyman try that
[12:20]  * nekoNotHereDammi goes back to bed
[12:21] <chaosphilipp> i'm hopefully rebooting now :)
[12:21] <nekoNotHereDammi> !reboot
[12:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about reboot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:21] <nekoNotHereDammi> !rebooting
[12:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rebooting - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:21] <nekoNotHereDammi> eh
[12:21] <nekoNotHereDammi> chaosphilipp usually not needed in any case..
[12:21] <prince_jammys> fr1ul^h4ck: for dir in $(find /var/www -type d); do sudo cp index.html $dir;done
[12:22] <chaosphilipp> but how can i see my brand new splash-screen without rebooting ;)
[12:22] <prince_jammys> fr1ul^h4ck: i believe will copy index.html to any directories inside of /var/www
[12:22] <GSF1200S> i hosed my system to the point where I had to manually run fsck.. everything seems fine.. do I have anything to worry about
[12:22] <PietSnyman> thanks, i'll do that. i also would like to know how you see a list of libraries that are installable on the machine.
[12:23] <Survivorman> he wants to copy all instance of index.html in /root/ to /var/www
[12:23] <Survivorman> in subfolders and so forth
[12:23] <soundray> GSF1200S: look in the root of each mounted filesystem for contents in lost+found/ -- if there's nothing, I wouldn't worry too much
[12:23] <prince_jammys> Survivorman: different index.html files, not a single file?
[12:24] <Survivorman> he wants to replace many of them with a new index.html
[12:24] <GSF1200S> I know it said it was going into lost and found when I invoked it
[12:24] <soundray> GSF1200S: look at the files that it put there and see if you recognize the data
[12:25] <itisovernow> how can i delete all histroy everything i ever played with mplayer xine and went to internet site permanently so none can see the history in suse?
[12:25] <chaosphilipp> wow, someone tighten me to my seat, my computer boots frightfully fast now :D
[12:25] <prince_jammys> chaosphilipp: worked?
[12:25] <chaosphilipp> jep :)
[12:26] <GSF1200S> soundray- theres only two things in lost and found when opened as root. Ones a kde temp file, and the other is some cryptic numbered file
[12:27] <soundray> GSF1200S: it seems you're in luck -- unless the cryptic one was something important
[12:27] <GSF1200S> it just says 'socket' in properties
[12:28] <soundray> GSF1200S: I'd say you're fully recovered
[12:28] <GSF1200S> reason I ask: I ended up booting (after messing with some things) and I couldnt access anything in the filesystem. It kept telling me it was a read only filesystem
[12:28] <chaosphilipp> as i am here: what LaTeX-Editor would you recommend for Linux?
[12:28] <chaosphilipp> I liked Texnicenter in windows
[12:29] <GSF1200S> on next boot was the error forcing me to manual fsck
[12:29] <soundray> chaosphilipp: emacs with auctex
[12:29] <GSF1200S> I have a clone image, but its prolly not worth the trouble
[12:29] <GSF1200S> thank god for ext3 :)
[12:29] <soundray> GSF1200S: read-only remounting is a security measure that the system takes to prevent changes on an inconsistent filesystem until it can be fsck'ed
[12:30] <GSF1200S> ahh
[12:30] <edwin> what's ubuntu's dev channel called?
[12:30] <prince_jammys> !dev
[12:30] <ubotu> Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment
[12:31] <edwin> thanks prince_jammys
[12:31] <GSF1200S> So for future notice- the lost and found folder displays anything that fsck had to recover from the ext3 directory because the file itself was screwed
[12:31] <prince_jammys> edwin: yw, no channel tho
[12:31] <GSF1200S> thanks for the info
[12:32] <edwin> prince_jammys: that page said #ubuntu-devel in freenode
[12:33] <prince_jammys> edwin: ok cool
[12:33] <nibbles> is there a way to mask the shell... so "nibbles@gay-pc:~$" looks like "hey:~$" or somesuch
[12:34] <soundray> nibbles: change the value of the PS1 variable
[12:34] <Wirwing> Hi, can somebody help me?
[12:34] <prince_jammys> nibbles: not sure, but check your file ~/.bashrc for bash settings
[12:34] <Wirwing> i fucked up my driver setting, my resolution and compiz fusion

[12:35] <ubotu> Wirwing: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[12:35] <edwin> nibbles: in a command line, type 'export PS1="new prompt $PS1" '
[12:35] <SleepingSloth> Wirwing, you need to be specific, and preferably not offend people
[12:36] <soundray> edwin: now that's going to append the old prompt to the new one... why?
[12:36] <MasterMel> when i try to install a program from the command line i get the following error: "ImportError: No module named pkg resources" can anyone help me out with this?
[12:36] <viktor> whats git...?
[12:36] <edwin> soundray: then just use the same command without the variable. sorry, i'm just so used to using this for chrooting and i append so i remember the box i'm in, lol
[12:37] <edwin> soundray: appending isn't neccessary though :P
[12:37] <soundray> MasterMel: what are you trying to install and how?

[12:39] <ricky_clarkson> I've read something about mobile broadband needing a kernel patch.
[12:39] <rblst> hello, why can't i enlarge page preview in OpenOffice in 7.10? it didn't work in 7.04, either :(
[12:39] <ricky_clarkson> Is this still true?
[12:40] <oboy03> what is the use of source.list?
[12:40] <oboy03> !source
[12:40] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[12:40] <prince_jammys> Wirwing: one not very efficient manual way is to try some of the backups of xorg.conf that are in the /etc/X11 directory ... if you do this, backup the directory first in case of mess
[12:40] <soundray> !repos | oboy03
[12:40] <ubotu> oboy03: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[12:40] <edwin> oboy03: it gives a list of repository mirrors to be used by apt/aptitude/synaptic
[12:41] <soundray> rblst: I just tried, and it works fine (Writer, I assume)
[12:41] <oboy03> so if something is wrong in the source.list i'll be donwloading a wrong version or update?
[12:41] <Jack_Sparrow>  oboy03 yes
[12:42] <Wirwing> prince_jammys: i already did, but the only thing it solved its now i have 800x600 resolution and vesa generic driver.
[12:42] <oboy03> thanks
[12:42] <Cew27> for everyone who wants to know i fixxed the open arena problem by disabling compiz
[12:42] <edwin> Cew27: what problem?
[12:42] <oboy03> and sudo apt-get update updates it?
[12:42] <soundray> oboy03: no
[12:42] <Jack_Sparrow> oboy03: The list of packages yes
[12:43] <rblst> soundray: yes, for some reason it's disabled for me in writer, in calc it works fine
[12:43] <soundray> oboy03: please read the links that ubotu gave you
[12:43] <oboy03> thanks
[12:43] <Cew27> where it exits full screen every 15 Minuit's and you cant control anything
[12:43] <prince_jammys> Wirwing: one of those backups (xorg.conf.1, xorg.conf.2, etc,) will probably work, though it's tedious to keep trying them (which you do by renaming each to "xorg.conf") --- there's probably a faster way, but i don't recall
[12:43] <Cew27> edwin: what irc client do you use
[12:43] <soundray> rblst: disabled how? Greyed out?
[12:44] <soundray> prince_jammys: I'd recommend copying rather  than renaming
[12:44] <rblst> soundray: yes grey, i've even installed the newest version of OO.o that is not yet in the repo..
[12:44] <edwin> Cew27: oh, if i knew that was your problem, i'd have told you how to fix it :P anyways, its going to do that for every gl program you have. I'd have a look at the winefix script. among other things, it'll automatically turn off compiz when opengl programs are started and turn it  back on when ever you exit
[12:44] <prince_jammys> soundray: how do you mean?
[12:44] <soundray> rblst: bad move
[12:45] <prince_jammys> soundray: gotcha
[12:45] <soundray> prince_jammys: if you rename xorg.conf.1 to xorg.conf, then rename xorg.conf.2 to xorg.conf, you will have lost xorg.conf.1
[12:45] <Cew27> edwin: what is the name of the script ??
[12:45] <edwin> Cew27: at least then you won't have to turn on/off compiz manually all the time. that, and the script has a few other cool features. btw, i'm just using x chat irc client
[12:45] <edwin> Cew27: winefix i think. i'll find it
[12:45] <Creationist> Anyone else have a problem with "Switch Users" when Compiz is running?
[12:45] <prince_jammys> Wirwing: yes, copying each backup is definitely better, since if you rename you then lose the backup
[12:46] <Cew27> edwin: im using pidgin, it isnt that good there is no auto complete for names or sound notifcation
[12:46] <rblst> soundray: well, i first asked the OO.o team, and they told me the version in Ubuntu is  old and buggy
[12:46] <edwin> Cew27: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=533257
[12:46] <soundray> rblst: well, you should have asked ubuntu people about that first
[12:46] <edwin> Cew27: ewwwww.. i love pidgin, i hate it for irc. just get x chat. if you're into commandline, bitchX is supposed to be really good
[12:47] <Cew27> edwin: the game i was running was open arena, native for linux will the wine script still be effective
[12:47] <sknh> help!
[12:47] <prince_jammys> soundray: i did tell him to back up the entire directory before,tho
[12:47] <soundray> rblst: I'm sorry you got such bad advice
[12:47] <edwin> Cew27: yes. the script was made for when you run wine games, but it works perfectly with any opengl program, i've tried and tested many times
[12:47] <Cew27> edwin: thanks ill go get it and get xchat bye
[12:47] <prince_jammys> soundray: overkill safety, but what the hey
[12:48] <chaosphilipp> ok, i dunno how ter use auctex, but the adventure-game in emacs is cool :)
[12:48] <Wirwing> prince_jammys: i already backup my original xorg. I already copy into another location, then deleted the original one, and copied then again to /etc/X11/
[12:48] <sknh> Did anyone have any problems after updating firefox on Gutsy?
[12:48] <prince_jammys> Wirwing: and nothing
[12:48] <chaosphilipp> sknh: what kind of problems?
[12:48] <bullgard4> English help wanted. Gnome main menu > System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes lists a table with 9 columns. What is the headline of the 3rd and the 9th column in English?
[12:48] <rblst> soundray: so what do you advise me to do?
[12:48] <soundray> rblst: anyway, first thing I'd try is to stop OOo, rename $HOME/.openoffice.org2/ and start it again so it creates a new user configuration
[12:48] <Veeger1> sknh: How did you update firefox
[12:48] <prince_jammys> Wirwing: that's weird, if your original xorg.conf worked for you
[12:48] <sknh> after the update, my firefox didn't restart
[12:48] <soundray> rblst: ^^
[12:48] <sknh> thru the synaptic package manager
[12:49] <sknh> I had to manually start it
[12:49] <sknh> and it didn't start
[12:49] <chaosphilipp> hmm, no, just had some problems with my addons recently, but it did always start
[12:49] <Veeger1> sknh: If you type firefox in terminal do you get an error
[12:49] <chaosphilipp> does it say anything, why it won't start again?
[12:49] <sknh> after 2-3 attempts it finally started but firebug didn't seem to work
[12:49] <rblst> soundray: i'll try that now, thanks
[12:49] <sknh> so I disabled, uninstalled firebug and tried to start firefox again
[12:49] <void^> bullgard4: perhaps you should ask in the channel for your language? there's only 6 columns for me.
[12:49] <sknh> but now it doesn't seem to be stable
[12:50] <danisahne> has anybody work with libvirt? i cant connect to my xend
[12:50] <danisahne>  libvirt.open("xen:///")
[12:50] <danisahne> libvir: Remote error : No such file or directory
[12:50] <danisahne> libvir: warning : Failed to find the network: Is the daemon running ?
[12:50] <Veeger1> sknh: Sounds more like comp issue between firebug and firefox
[12:50] <soundray> !paste | danisahne
[12:50] <ubotu> danisahne: 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)
[12:51] <bullgard4> void^: I know the answer in my native language. I'd like to know how it is called in English. --  What is the name of the 1st column?
[12:51] <sknh> Veeger1: I have raised this issue on the firefox channel and they say it works fine for them
[12:51] <bullgard4> void^: Are you using Ubuntu 7.10?
[12:51] <sknh> so I was wondering if this problem is related to the Gutsy's version of firefox ?
[12:52] <void^> bullgard4: columns can be disabled/enabled and reordered, therefore "nth column" is ambiguous
[12:52] <Veeger1> sknh: With firebug removed, completely remove firefox and reinstall and test before adding firebig back in
[12:52] <sknh> Veeger1: I tried uninstalling firefox
[12:52] <sknh> Veeger1: rolling back to an older version
[12:52] <soundray> bullgard4: Process name. There are only six columns here.
[12:52] <sknh> Veeger1: I did just that
[12:52] <Veeger1> sknh: HAve you changed or added any repos
[12:53] <sknh> Veeger1: I installed firebug again and it refused to start up
[12:53] <bullgard4> soundray: Thank you.
[12:53] <sknh> Veeger1: nope, I never did that
[12:53] <Veeger1> sknh: what version of firefox are you using
[12:53] <sknh> Veeger1: right now I am on 2.0.0.12
[12:54] <bullgard4> void^: I did not know that the columns can be permutated. So please tell me all six names you have in English and I will try to assciate them to my foreign release of Ubuntu 7.10.
[12:54] <sknh> Veeger1: what do you think I should try doing?
[12:54] <Leechzilla> Where is the root's Trash folder located?
[12:54] <Veeger1> sknh: same here .. do you have a link to firebug, where I do not need to be reg'd to get it
[12:55] <prince_jammys> Leechzilla: /root/.Trash
[12:55] <Leechzilla> thanks, prince_jammys
[12:55] <prince_jammys> Leechzilla: /anyuser-dir/.Trash
[12:56] <sknh> Veeger1: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843
[12:56] <rblst> soundray: no dice, both increase and decrease button, and the dropdown menu inbetween is grey
[12:56] <soundray> bullgard4: Process Name, Status, %CPU, Nice, ID, Memory
[12:57] <bullgard4> soundray: Thank you very much for your help.
[12:57] <rblst> soundray: could it be some setting i unconsciously modified?
[12:57] <darkness3477> Hey, I've just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on a fairly lowend laptop (256mb ram, 1.4gherz celeron M) and it's running quite a bit slower than I remember it being. Is there anything I can do to speed things up abit, other than using a more lightweight DE?
[12:57] <soundray> rblst: and when you leave Preview, you can zoom?
[12:57] <Veeger1> sknh: Installed fine and ff back up.. how would you like me to test it.
[12:57] <soundray> rblst: I've had  a look under Tools-Options, but found no candidates
[12:58] <sinbox> hi there, where would my firefox profile be stored?  I've looked in /usr/lib but it doesn't seem to be there
[12:58] <sknh> Veeger1: press F12
[12:58] <prince_jammys> darkness3477: slow startup or all-around slow?
[12:58] <sknh> Veeger1: do you see the window split?
[12:58] <sknh> Veeger1: have any website open before you do that
[12:58] <Veeger1> sknh: That is handy.. and it brought up the html of the site
[12:59] <sknh> Veeger1: right, it is working for you?
[12:59] <Veeger1> sknh: So we have eliminated a bug in the gutsy version of ff agreed
[12:59] <sknh> Veeger1: How come it is not working for me
[12:59] <rblst> soundray: yes, in View menu, in Magnify (or something similar) i can zoom
[12:59] <Slart> anyone know of a good way to slim down a pdf? ie.. perhaps remove some pictures in it? compress it? threaten to delete it perhaps?
[12:59] <sknh> Veeger1: How do I install a clean version of firefox
[12:59] <soundray> rblst: perhaps the hardware accel/OpenGL settings make a difference (Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org-View)
[13:00] <prince_jammys> sinbox: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
[13:00] <sknh> Veeger1: I am not worried about my profile... I don't mind replacing it
[13:00] <darkness3477> prince_jammys:  Startup was normal, I suppose. It's just running slow in general.
[13:00] <soundray> sknh: have you looked at the errors that firefox generates when you launch it from a terminal?
[13:01] <darkness3477> I did have arch linux on this laptop, and it was running quite fast. I expected Ubuntu to be a bit slower, as it's not 686 optimized, but still.. this is slow.
[13:01] <soundray> sknh: also see  if it works when you start it with 'firefox -safe-mode' (no extensions)
[13:01] <sknh> soundray: I am running chatzilla now... can't really restart firefox
[13:01] <F1rs7L1n3> ima li balgari tuka
[13:01] <F1rs7L1n3> ?
[13:01] <sknh> soundray: yeah... I want to try that too
[13:01] <Veeger1> prince_jammy if he uses synaptic to remove completely, and verifies he has no .mozilla or deletes what is left and reinstalls with synaptic, will that do it?
[13:01] <sknh> soundray: may be you ppl can hang on a little while I try that and get back in here?
[13:02] <soundray> sknh: maybe
[13:02] <Veeger1> soundray: thanks
[13:02] <prince_jammys> Veeger1: it should, it is basically uninstalling and purging
[13:02] <rblst> soundray: i ticked them, no difference
[13:03] <soundray> rblst: if they had been ticked, and you had now unticked them, I would have been more hopeful
[13:03] <prince_jammys> Veeger1: i haven't been following, but when you say "will that do it?" i assume you mean "will that completely remove firefox?"
[13:03] <Veeger1> prince_jammys: yes
[13:03] <darkness3477> So, is there anything I can do to speed things up a bit? Or could it be that this is just the first time loading it up, so it's running slowly (which seems a little odd to me).
[13:04] <prince_jammys> Veeger1: then yes, it should
[13:04] <Veeger1> prince_jammys: and any addons or other things that may be causinghis problem
[13:04] <prince_jammys> Veeger1: it's pretty safe to guess that all personal mozilla stuff would go in .mozilla
[13:04] <rblst> soundray: thank you very very much for your help anyway, i gotta dash now
[13:05] <Veeger1> prince_jammys: thanks, just checking
[13:05] <soundray> rblst: keep looking though, it's got to have a solution...
[13:05] <soundray> rblst: good luck

[13:28] <soundray> W8TAH: very, but offtopic too, so let's stop here ;)
[13:28] <terminate_all> thank you,,
[13:28] <noelferreira> how can i change resolution using the default vnc server of ubuntu?
[13:28] <Xman> can anyone tell me how can i run gutsy in live mode(live session)
[13:28] <noelferreira> how can i change resolution using the default remote conection vnc server of ubuntu?
[13:28] <W8TAH> soundray, np
[13:28] <soundray> noelferreira: call it with 'vncserver -geometry 1024x768' or whatever you prefer
[13:29] <Dr_willis> noelferreira,  for gnome - thats controlled by the vino program.  IF you are sharing the current desktop. if running vncserver directly - doo like soundray  suggests
[13:29] <nix> soundray: IT WORKS!!! tanks dude
[13:29] <W8TAH> soundray, one more question on the server - how can i see which dev nodes have a hdd on them -- i tried to do fdisk /dev/hdb to partition the second disk, but it didnt recognize it
[13:29] <noelferreira> but i don't run vncserver soulrider
[13:29] <rebecca2930> whois,perry
[13:29] <prince_jammys> soundray: nix congrats
[13:29] <soundray> nix: hooray! (It was more a shot in the dark than anything else ;)
[13:29] <noelferreira> Dr_willis, i don't run it manually it starts automatically? can i use that argument in the server?
[13:30]  * soundray bows
[13:30] <nix> soundray:   :P
[13:30] <Xman> PriceChild
[13:30] <acridfusionTK> i wonder if there is a way to reset the kernal resolution like i've had to do with the xorg......  like the screens where it says tty#
[13:30] <nibbles> !wiener
[13:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wiener - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:30] <prince_jammys> soundray: nix i was away -- what did you do - reinstall apt-get?
[13:30] <Pici> !botabuse | nibbles
[13:30] <ubotu> nibbles: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.
[13:30] <soundray> prince_jammys: reinstall the apt package with dpkg
[13:30] <Dr_willis> noelferreira,  check the docs on vino  i guess.. i dont use vino.
[13:30] <nix> prince_jammys: precisely
[13:30] <Dr_willis> !vino
[13:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vino - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:30] <sknh> soundray, FF is working fine now
[13:30] <soundray> sknh: in safe mode?
[13:31] <cew27_> prince_jammys, hello
[13:31] <sknh> soundray, yeah started in safe mode, disabled all extensions and reset everything
[13:31] <soundray> sknh: way to go, well done
[13:31] <kasra> acridfusionTK: wanna change the resolution of tty(s) shell ?
[13:31] <sknh> soundray, then started in normal mode and enabled firebug
[13:31] <Slart> acridfusionTK: kernel resolution? you mean the console ? the black background thingy, text only?
[13:31] <sknh> soundray, and it works fine now
[13:31] <prince_jammys> soundray: how does that go? dpkg -i apt ?
[13:31] <acridfusionTK> nod
[13:31] <acridfusionTK> the console :)
[13:32] <kasra> acridfusionTK: what Ubuntu ?
[13:32] <cew27_> prince_jammys: you there
[13:32] <Slart> acridfusionTK: you can use the vga=ask option in grub the get a list of valid resolutions
[13:32] <soundray> prince_jammys: "nix: I would suggest reinstalling the apt package with dpkg. First, download it with 'wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.7.6ubuntu14.1_i386.deb', then install it with 'sudo dpkg -i apt_0.7.6ubuntu14.1_i386.deb'"
[13:32] <acridfusionTK> 7.10
[13:32] <sknh> soundray, may be something got corrupted
[13:32] <prince_jammys> soundray: gotcha
[13:32] <acridfusionTK> ok
[13:32] <W8TAH> how do i determine what dev node a device is on? in this case a secondary hdd?
[13:32] <acridfusionTK> i'll try that
[13:32] <sknh> soundray, I think there is some problem with the firefox-gnome-support or the ubufox
[13:33] <soundray> sknh: I'll remember that -- perhaps it is wise to disable extensions when a firefox update is due

[13:35] <cew27_> prince_jammys, hi just got irc chat how do i put auto complete on for names
[13:35] <Slart> cew27_: it's usually enabled by default.. what client do you use?
[13:35] <prince_jammys> cew27_: <tab> prin <enter>
[13:35] <soundray> W8TAH: if that doesn't help, 'dmesg | grep -e [s,h]d'
[13:36] <cew27_> prin
[13:36] <prince_jammys> cew27_: tab, first few characters
[13:36] <cew27_> hold on lemme restart see it that works
[13:36] <Slart> cew27_: I think he meant .. prin <tab>
[13:36] <sknh> which IRC client is the most popular one?
[13:36] <prince_jammys> cew27_: doh the other way around, chars, then tab
[13:36] <cew27_> prince_jammys, ahh yes
[13:36] <Slart> sknh: xchat .. gnome and regular, I guess
[13:36] <prince_jammys> cew27_: my brain is busted

[13:36] <jimbo> not sure sknh  but i aint even gotten a hello yet
[13:37] <cew27_> Slart, ahh yes working
[13:37] <Dr_willis> Xman_,  I dont think we know what you mean by a 'live session'
[13:37] <sknh> I was using ChatZilla but now got XChat
[13:37] <soundray> prince_jammys: oh no. Still, better than if your bust was brained
[13:37] <jimbo> download gutsy desktop, burn iso to cd, set cd rom as boot drive 1 in bios, b oot of cd
[13:37] <Slart> xman_: insert cd, boot from said cd..chose "start or install ubuntu".. that should be it
[13:37] <prince_jammys> soundray: heh, ive never had much of a bust
[13:37] <Xman_> Dr_willis: i mean running ubuntu without installing it
[13:37] <jimbo> hi slart
[13:38] <Slart> hello jimbo
[13:38] <MasterMel> do you guys recommend an aplication wich i can open .rar files?
[13:38] <jimbo> yes thats what i mean xman
[13:38] <prince_jammys> soundray: how nice, no compiz probs
[13:38] <HalfbakedDUKE> whats up
[13:38] <Xman_> Slart: it starts the installation man
[13:38] <soundray> !rar | MasterMel
[13:38] <ubotu> MasterMel: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[13:38] <Slart> MasterMel: install unrar.. then use file-roller
[13:38] <HalfbakedDUKE> im getting a error on install of ubunto 7.10, telling me to install with 'no apic'
[13:38] <HalfbakedDUKE> timer 8254 error
[13:38] <soundray> MasterMel: any luck with elisa?
[13:38] <prince_jammys> MasterMel: file-roller(gnome), ark (kde), unrar (command line)
[13:38] <Slart> xman_: not if you have the regular install cd
[13:39] <jimbo> guys, where do i go if this ati driver install is giving me the chits, I cant switched to cusatom appearance, it keeps saying messa, my first time in ubuntu ever, read and tried stuff for 72 hours no dice
[13:39] <prince_jammys> MasterMel: passwd protected?
[13:39] <Slart> !ati | jimbo
[13:39] <ubotu> jimbo: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[13:39] <Cew27> prince_jammys,
[13:39] <Slart> jimbo: sorry.. but that's all the help about ati I can give you.. never used ati on linux
[13:39] <jimbo> roger tried that
[13:40] <jimbo> still cant switch to custom desktrop
[13:40] <HalfbakedDUKE> how can i boot with enabling the 8524 timer?
[13:40] <Xman_> Slart: but i think it was in the brezy badger that u were having 2 different cds one for live session and one for installation
[13:40] <MasterMel> soundray: yes thnx it is working now.. the elisa install..: the problem i ran into was that file i had was an update..and not a full install
[13:40] <Xman_> Slart: now they have been combined to one cd
[13:40] <jimbo> right i wasnt going to do this...
[13:40] <Slart> Xman_:  that's possible.. for gutsy there is the regular live/install cd.. and then there's an alternate install cd that only installs
[13:40] <MasterMel> prince_jammys: no not password protected
[13:40] <soundray> MasterMel: I see. Anyway, it's always best to stick with software from the repositories.
[13:41] <Cew27> prince_jammys, send me a message i want to test beeping
[13:41] <prince_jammys> MasterMel: then you should have one of the above already installed
[13:41] <MasterMel> Slart: ok i can use unrar.. thnx
[13:41] <prince_jammys> Cew27: test
[13:41] <Cew27> hmm didnt beep
[13:41] <Cew27> prince_jammys, try again ill leave the window
[13:41] <noelferreira> does anyone knows how to change resolution in vino server?
[13:41] <belinda> hal0

[13:42] <Cew27> sorry for this
[13:42] <soundray> noelferreira: System-Preferences-Screen Resolution
[13:42] <belinda> Basa apa kuwi aku rak mudeng
[13:42] <MasterMel> Soundray: at first i sticked to the reps but unfortunatly it was an older version.. :(
[13:42] <Dr_willis> noelferreira,  check the gnome help docs? it may be vino just does your screen res and thats it.
[13:42] <soundray> belinda: what language is that?
[13:42] <Slart> Xman_: you're welcome.. come back if it doesn't work out for you
[13:42] <Cew27> prince_jammys,  anyhoo i fixed that game problem i was having
[13:42] <xoai> work with xorg.conf
[13:42] <soundray> !highno | MasterMel consider...
[13:42] <Xman_> Slart: ok sir
[13:43] <prince_jammys> Cew27: good, its the alacarte that's annoying
[13:43] <tinman> Hey, I installe'd flash for firefox "Mozilla installation directory  = /home/fastfinger/.mozilla", do i need to link mozilla firefox to here or something?
[13:43] <ubotu> MasterMel consider...: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.
[13:43] <blink> hey..help me...:(
[13:43] <Cew27> prince_jammys, your damn right
[13:43] <xoai> @tinman: I think no
[13:43] <prince_jammys> tinman: it should work - that's where firefox keeps its stuff
[13:43] <soundray> tinman: no, you need to do it the Ubuntu way
[13:43] <soundray> !flash | tinman

[13:44] <noelferreira> Dr_willis, but i need a different resolution from server in my client
[13:44] <Cew27> prince_jammys, wait a second, send me a private message
[13:44] <prince_jammys> tinman: oh you didnt go thru repositories?
[13:44] <MasterMel> soundray: yes i guess your right, it is always a risk doing it the way i did
[13:44] <Dr_willis> noelferreira,  check the vino docs, or use a stand alone vncserver i guess.  Some clients can scale the output.
[13:44] <tinman> prince_jammys: nope, through macromedia's site
[13:45] <Dr_willis> noelferreira,  im not sure how a vnc server showing the current desktop could 'send' a different res to the clients.

[13:50] <Cew27> soundray: sorry im new to irc i dont know much yet
[13:50] <soundray> Bad_boy: if I remember correctly, it's a tray application
[13:50] <Dr_willis> Bad_boy,  check the packatge manager and see what files it isntalled.. it may be a applet you add to the panel.
[13:50] <kcynice> i could not install ubuntu.I use the live cd/dvd. but when the desktop was about to display,it told me "unsupported video mode",then the installation failed.
[13:51] <kcynice> i think i need someone's hand.
[13:51] <Traveler9> hi
[13:51] <brobostigon> kcynice: try the alternate install cd

[13:52] <Traveler9> brobostigon thanks :)
[13:52] <soundray> Bad_boy: it goes to the system tray or notification area in the panel.
[13:53] <anton__> I cant find a map named share in kde? kde/share/apps/kicker/pics/
[13:53] <soundray> Bad_boy: see if you can find it in the control center -- I think that's where you set alarms
[13:53] <kashogi> hello need help with ftp
[13:53] <Bad_boy> Dr_willis, it is definitely installe. I have try to add applet to panel, but it is not available
[13:53] <kcynice> brobostigon:did you mean i should install in text mode?I had burnt the two version cds and installed,both failed.
[13:54] <VeganZombie> Hello, I'm getting this error message and was curious if anyone could assist? The error is WARNING: NNET_OpenSocket: bind: Cannot assign requested address
[13:54] <kashogi> need help adduser to ftp and how to login
[13:54] <brobostigon> kcynice: so you have tried the alternate, and it didnt work.
[13:54] <soundray> Bad_boy: have you tried running kalarm from the command line?
[13:54] <kcynice> brobostigon:it failed ,too
[13:54] <eagle-101> VeganZombie, when do you get that?
[13:54] <ceil420> is there a guide for changing the DE/wm that launches with X? i have flux installed, but dno how to use it :x
[13:55] <Bad_boy> soundray:  what the command for it? KAlarm command does not work
[13:55] <soundray> Bad_boy: it's case sensitive -- kalarm
[13:55] <VeganZombie> eagle-101, I'm attempting to assign an IP & Port to a Linux Dedicated Server for Team Fortress 2 when that error shows.
[13:55] <eagle-101> ceil420, log out of gnome, on the login window you should be able to change enviroments (from gnome to fluxbox)
[13:55] <ceil420> Xfce, actually, but thanks :)
[13:55] <x-punk> isn't there a simple app (with gui) in linux to convert video files to the H264 file format?
[13:55] <ceil420> didn't know if there was a file to edit or what
[13:56] <kcynice> brobostigon: it faild during partioning
[13:56] <ikonia> x-punk: avidrip and dvd::rip can do it
[13:56] <Bad_boy> soundray:  loaded now. now i can add the panel as i know the command, cheers bud
[13:56] <eagle-101> ceil420, no file, just logout, and change your session details before logging back in
[13:56] <x-punk> ikonia: thanks
[13:56] <ceil420> eagle-101, cheers o/
[13:56] <brobostigon> kcynice: no idea, sorry.
[13:56] <xoai> @x-punk: try PSPVC
[13:56] <ikonia> x-punk: acidrip - not avidrip
[13:56] <Marfi> what is a good java / C++ IDE other than eclipse?
[13:56] <x-punk> xoai, ikonia: ok
[13:56] <eagle-101> VeganZombie, mmm well its basically telling you its unable to bind to that address. Are you sure nothing else is using that port?
[13:56] <thrope> hi - im building something that needs tkinter (matplotlib), .. ive installed python-tkinter, but it needs the headers. what *-dev package am I likely to need?
[13:56] <test3r> um why wont pastebin work with NoScript plugin running
[13:57] <test3r> i have a PYTHON question
[13:57] <VeganZombie> eagle-101, not really, would "ps aux -forest" tell me?
[13:57] <test3r> cant even use pastebin
[13:57] <ikonia> test3r: #python for python uestions
[13:57] <eth01> .
[13:57] <eagle-101> VeganZombie, trying never hurt ;)
[13:57] <ikonia> VeganZombie: ps won't show network bound ports
[13:57] <jrib> test3r: use a different pastebin.  It tests for bots by detecting if the browser runs javascript
[13:57] <test3r> chit- OK i doubt they know either. I had a program just up n disappear on me. I was close to Full Full disk though last night I was using it
[13:58] <VeganZombie> ikonia, thanks, would you know how I can see those?
[13:58] <test3r> would that possibly meess up code i was trying to use when it was very full
[13:58] <ikonia> VeganZombie: netstat -a | grep LIST shows all addresses/ports listening
[13:58] <viktor> whats the difference between gutsy and feisty
[13:58] <eagle-101> VeganZombie, btw, you should have a look at http://www.google.com/search?q=WARNING%3A+NNET_OpenSocket%3A+bind%3A+Cannot+assign+requested+address&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a (First link shows the solution to someoen wanting to run a counterstrike server, but it looks like there are other useful hits here)

[13:59] <VeganZombie> thanks eagle-101 , I'll certainly give it a look!
[13:59] <kcynice> brobostigon: Thanks all the same. And would you like to tell me the difference between the two installation versions?
[13:59] <jrib> viktor: gutsy was released 6 months after feisty
[13:59] <doppelgaenger> viktor, gutsy is 7.10, Feisty is 7.01
[13:59] <age6racer> Hi, I'm having trouble writing to a samba share from another ubuntu machine. I do have read/write permissions but as soon as I copy a folder over it makes it unwritable and the rest of the files (inside it) fail to copy
[13:59] <viktor> ahh oki thanks alot
[13:59] <ikonia> doppelgaenger: 7..04
[13:59] <jeylm> http://chosee-city.myminicity.com/
[13:59] <ikonia> jeylm: why have you posted that ?
[13:59] <doppelgaenger> ikonia, ack
[14:00] <jeylm> just for fun :)
[14:00] <xoai> funny
[14:00] <ikonia> jeylm: don't this is a support channel only
[14:00] <jrib> !offtopic | jeylm
[14:00] <ubotu> jeylm: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[14:00] <ikonia> !guidelines > jeylm
[14:00] <brobostigon> kcynice: the live runs a live envirenment of the cd, and it insatlls from inside that live, the alternate has no live, and installs via text intrface, no gui.
[14:00] <rotini> hello all.  I see that festival is a text-to-speech engine.  What app does speech-to-text?
[14:01] <dimrho> hi
[14:01] <xoai> how to know most used command in my system?
[14:02] <ikonia> xoai: look in your shell history (history command)
[14:02] <kcynice> brobostigon: I use debian now,but i found the ubuntu's gui is better.I am not sure the problem is my disk error or not.
[14:02] <test3r> Here

[14:04] <eth01> liberion you don't need to ask :P
[14:04] <liberion> eth01, ask for a cloak??
[14:04] <eth01> liberion, on topic btw, and join #freenode
[14:05] <Wirwing> hi, i cant run compiz and it doesnt start, i do a compiz --replace and it give this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55960/. I Gutsy, an Intel 950Gm, AIXGL enable, DRI enabled, etc. Here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55962/
[14:05] <dgjones> liberion, you might be better in #freenode for that
[14:05] <Derspankster> which is best? vmware or virtual box?
[14:05] <eth01> Derspankster, not exactly the best - virtual box.
[14:05] <Derspankster> so you vote for virtual box?
[14:06] <xoai> each has something better
[14:06] <test3r> Can anyone tell m what is going on in my Terminal? This program here should be launching. Here is the pastebin of whats going on- http://pastebin.com/m4cd540c6
[14:08] <Wirwing> Can somebody help me? i run compiz and it doesnt start, i do a compiz --replace and it give this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55960/. I have Ubuntu Gutsy, an Intel 950Gm, AIXGL enable, DRI enabled, etc. Direct Rendering is not enabled (i dont know why). Here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55962/
[14:08] <jrib> test3r: "xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: no element found: line 1, column 0" Find out what file it is trying to parse
[14:08] <test3r> o, prob the last thing I fed to it?
[14:08] <test3r> OK  =D
[14:09] <test3r> good call. now if i could just rrmmbr wtf it Waz  lol
[14:10] <prince_jammys> Wirwing: just an idea: check if your card requires the option: ""Option         "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"""
[14:11] <prince_jammys> Wirwing: you said it had worked before -- another idea (really just stabbing around): try " grep "AllowGLX" /etc/X11/*    to see if any of your old xorg.confs have it
[14:13] <Wirwing> prince_jammys: hi again, first at all, i could restore my old xorg, juts restarting. xD Second, ill try your suggestion. thnks.
[14:14] <Adys> Hello, I got two monitors (using nvidia 8600gt) of different resolution. They worked fine but I just had to reinstall xgl, and now I cant get them to be treated as separate monitors
[14:14] <CirclingTheSun> #help
[14:15] <Adys> For example maximizing a window maximizes it on both monitors, not the current one
[14:15] <Adys> any solution?
[14:16] <CirclingTheSun>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[14:16] <Zvezdichko> hello, I want to install nonfree codecs. do I have to use medibuntu for this or the codecs are in the official repos?
[14:16] <W8TAH> im trying to install Ubuntu Server 6.06LTS to a machine with 2 hdd in it (80gb primary and 60 gb slave) i cant seem to get the setup to use both disks for LVM - i need help
[14:16] <jrib> !restricted > Zvezdichko (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:16] <jrib> Zvezdichko: depends on which you are talking about
[14:16] <Adys> Zvezdichko:  The most popular ones are in the official repos
[14:17] <VeganZombie> ikonia, here's my netstat before running the server http://pastebin.com/m2baf3471 and this is after running the server http://pastebin.com/d51c93b6a I want to be able to connect to port 27015 via my public ip and not LAN ip. Do you see any problems?
[14:17] <Zvezdichko> thank you Adys and jrib, I mean .mp3 and .avi files
[14:17] <Adys> they should be in the official repos
[14:17] <Cew27> hello again, can someone tell me what "swap" is and what it is used for
[14:18] <mjw-> !swap | Cew27
[14:18] <ubotu> Cew27: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[14:18] <idnzor> hey, i want to upgrade to hardy development because i want to develop a patch for something, but i cannot be bothered to do a frsh install. is there a way to upgrade to hardy without manually changing sources.list?
[14:18] <dgjones> !hardy | idnzor
[14:18] <ubotu> idnzor: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[14:18] <Cew27> mjw-: where do i find a list of these irc commands
[14:19] <ThreeFingerPete> how much of a benefit can I expect from compiling my own kernel?
[14:19] <jrib> ThreeFingerPete: none
[14:19] <Pici> Cew27: http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:19] <jrib> (if you are asking that question)
[14:19] <idnzor> yeah, understand its beta, dont mind if it borks my system. i just dont want to upgrade up changing the sources.list coz that usually messes things up.
[14:19] <idnzor> i need to develop a patch against the latest gnome sources.....
[14:19] <jrib> idnzor: consider just installing hardy in a virtual machine and develop there
[14:19] <ThreeFingerPete> jrib: thanks. so why would i do it on a x86 machine?
[14:20] <nickrud> ThreeFingerPete: a lot learning is the best benefit you'll get
[14:20] <idnzor> i need composite window manager though for testing :)
[14:20] <ornberg214> how do i download and run itunes on ubuntu?
[14:20] <tarelerulz> This is my problem I donwnload wine and installed yahelite and It does about everything ,but when I go to a room  I can't get the link to the login page the one that has a picture of text you put in and then you login . It for keeping out bots. I do get a box that I think has something to do with that ,but I don't see text or anything
[14:20] <ThreeFingerPete> nickrud: so you suggest that i dual install ubuntu to another drive to mess with it?
[14:20] <idnzor> i have an intel chip - i am guessing i could not run compiz or compostite metacity in a virtual machine? correct me if im wrong
[14:20] <ikonia> VeganZombie: look at this line tcp        0      0 xomp-desktop:27015      *:*                     LISTEN      as you can see something is listening on your port on all all network cards
[14:20] <ikonia> ornberg214: you need to run it through wine
[14:20] <Slart> ornberg214: using wine perhaps? don't know if there is a itunes for linux
[14:21] <nickrud> ThreeFingerPete: that would be an excellent idea.
[14:21] <cercu1etz> hi, what's the usual reason when packages.ubuntu.com lists a package in 'main' but apt-get doesn't find it ? (libc6-dev-amd64 to be exact)
[14:21] <ikonia> idnzor: running it in a VM without direct hardware acccess would be hard
[14:21] <ThreeFingerPete> nickrud: I always listen to excellent ideas. thanks
[14:21] <ikonia> cercu1etz: apt-cache search libc6-dev
[14:21] <dgjones> !itunes | ornberg214
[14:21] <ubotu> ornberg214: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee
[14:21] <anton__> I think there is a lot of different prgs u can use for put files in to you ipod.
[14:21] <cercu1etz> ikonia: -i386 is there, but -amd64 is not
[14:21] <ikonia> cercu1etz: you can only get the amd64 version if your running the x86_64 release.
[14:21] <anton__> Not only iTunes.
[14:21] <ikonia> cercu1etz: are you running the x86_64 release.
[14:21] <cercu1etz> ikonia:  yes
[14:22] <cercu1etz> ikonia: and archive..../pool/main/g/glibc/... has it
[14:22] <ikonia> cercu1etz: what does uname -a show
[14:22] <m4steR> do you know some software to convert a divx to 3gp?
[14:22] <ikonia> cercu1etz: I'm surprised you can see the 32bit stuff
[14:22] <cercu1etz> ikonia: Linux pike 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 02:46:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[14:22] <ikonia> cercu1etz: thats quite surprising.
[14:22] <viktor> anyone know of a good little mp3 player that i can use i see them all the time in screenshots etc
[14:22] <ikonia> cercu1etz: contact the maintiner
[14:22] <cercu1etz> ikonia: I agree :)
[14:23] <idnzor> yeah i dont think i can use compiz in a virtual machine.....
[14:23] <ikonia> cercu1etz: I assume your sources.list is fine - pointing at the 64bit repo's
[14:23] <cercu1etz> ikonia: hmm. ok (but in the meanting, should I have the -amd64 package ?)
[14:23] <idnzor> so anyway to upgrade? i did it to gutsy once, i had to edit some apt file
[14:23] <cercu1etz> ikonia: not sure about that (sources.list)
[14:23] <ikonia> idnzor what do you want to upgrade
[14:23] <ikonia> cercu1etz check it
[14:23] <nickrud> idnzor: the people on ubuntu+1 will walk you through it
[14:23] <Slart> m4steR: I did some converting the other way.. I can't really remember what I used.. perhaps mencoder
[14:23] <karlo> hi guys
[14:24] <cercu1etz> ikonia: 1sec ... man sources.list
[14:24] <Slart> m4steR: I remember googling a lot and compiling some stuff to get it to work
[14:24] <jrib> ThreeFingerPete: my point was just that you should not expect a performance benefit just because you compile your kernel.  But if you are interested in learning that your idea is a good one
[14:24] <ikonia> Slart: mencoder is an excellent tool
[14:24] <Slart> ikonia: yes.. and 3gpp is a shitty format.. it evens out =)
[14:24] <VeganZombie> ikonia, so does that indicate that I should be able to connect through that port to my server?
[14:24] <idnzor> i am working on murrine development, patching applications to use the rgba colormap enable composite applications, just want to upgrade so i can start pacthing bleeding edge gnome stuff
[14:24] <m4steR> Slart, ok i will do some googling
[14:24] <m4steR> :D
[14:24] <ThreeFingerPete> jrib: a little of both.
[14:24] <cercu1etz> ikonia: should I have something like $(ARCH) instead of gutsy ?
[14:24] <ikonia> VeganZombie: that indiciates that "something" is listening on that port on all your nics
[14:25] <VeganZombie> thanks ikonia :)
[14:25] <ikonia> cercu1etz: I've not got a 64bit box to hand to check, but you should have gutsy as a line definatly
[14:25] <cercu1etz> ikonia: right now it's plain "deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted" et cetera
[14:25] <nickrud> cercu1etz: the sources won't look any different between 32 and 64 bit
[14:25] <cercu1etz> nickrud: a-ha
[14:25] <ikonia> cercu1etz: that looks right
[14:26] <cercu1etz> hmm, so what should I have installed ? the libc6-dev or libc6-dev-amd64 ?
[14:26] <Adys> okay ill try something else. How do i switch from xgl back to x?
[14:26] <vix> I need some help. i was trying to enable xgl with my ati card, but it didnt work, now I got xserver running, except that i cant see anything on my gnome desktop environment, just the mouse pointer.
[14:26] <Wirwing> prince_jammys:  i tried what u told me, but nothing happens.
[14:26] <ikonia> cercu1etz: libc6-dev should use your arch
[14:26] <prince_jammys> Wirwing: just trying to get some hints, oh well
[14:27] <waini> hi - i have a little problem
[14:27] <cercu1etz> ikonia: I think so, but I don't have /usr/include/gnu-linux-x86_x64... (and looks like gcc reads the -i386 includes when compiling)
[14:27] <ikonia> cercu1etz: shouldn't do, ubuntu isn't multilib
[14:27] <waini> playing dvds with vlc and 2ch - Audio works fine
[14:27] <rhineheart_m> I have this problem. I cannot access my site in the LAN...but only outside the LAN. Anybody who knows how to solve this? M using ubuntu server
[14:27] <cercu1etz> ikonia: multilib means it has x86 .so's and amd64 ones as well ?
[14:27] <waini> but plying with 5.1 don't
[14:28] <Necrodrako> Hello, I am using Gutsy Gibbon, I'm having a small problem with ALSA. In the sound settings i have my SB live card set as default but it wants to use my integrated intel card. in alsamixer it shows the intel as default. how would i change it to my SB live card (alsa refers it as card 2)?
[14:28] <ikonia> cercu1etz: correct
[14:28] <cercu1etz> ikonia: or is it referring to .h's
[14:28] <cercu1etz> ah ok
[14:28] <ikonia> cercu1etz: if you do a gcc -v you'll see it should be 64bit only so it won't know to look in the 32bit lib/include paths
[14:28] <ikonia> cercu1etz: at least I believe thats the case the last time I did cross-compiling on ubuntu,
[14:28] <waini> the sound stutters / flickering
[14:28] <cercu1etz> ikonia: I hoped so too, but stracing a compile looks like it opens /usr/include/....h :(
[14:29] <Webdevotion> Hi, I've tried to burn a md5 checksummed iso, but it still contains errors after burning it with Nero 7 and PowerISO on Win XP.
[14:29] <Webdevotion> Any other programs that could to a better job?
[14:29] <prince_jammys> Necrodrako: one way is to disable your onboard sound card from the BIOS - do you know how to do that
[14:29] <nickrud> Necrodrako: if you never use the onboard, the simplest method is to disable it in bios
[14:29] <ikonia> cercu1etz: don't forget that /lib64 is on multilib only
[14:29] <ikonia> cercu1etz: /lib is 64bit on 64bit systems
[14:29] <cercu1etz> ikonia: also, gcc -v sayz Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
[14:29] <ikonia> cercu1etz: ldd gcc and you'll see it's 64bit only
[14:29] <IdleOne> if I install ubuntu alternate cd  using virtualbox will I later be able to install GUI? might be a dumb question but I dont completly understand how virtual machines work
[14:29] <Webdevotion> I get warnings like "debootstrap warning: failure while configuring base packages" when doing the text based install
[14:29] <waini> has anyone an idea for solving my problem?
[14:29] <ikonia> IdleOne: the alternative cd installs a gui
[14:30] <cercu1etz> ikonia: so, /lib and /usr/include should just have x86_64 versions ... great then :D
[14:30] <waini> hello?
[14:30] <cercu1etz> ikonia: thank you
[14:30] <IdleOne> ikonia, yeah I meant if I use the server install
[14:30] <nickrud> IdleOne: and the os inside the vm can't really tell the difference of where it is at the apt-get level
[14:30] <Necrodrako> prince_jammys: Ive never done it before, but it shouldnt be too hard to figure out
[14:30] <cercu1etz> ikonia: (but the -amd64 pkg is useless then)
[14:30] <prince_jammys> Necrodrako: you know how to access the BIOS?
[14:31] <ikonia> IdleOne: you can install it
[14:31] <Necrodrako> nickrud: ok, thanks
[14:31] <Tyczek> Does sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv work with your ATI? I can't get video overlay with XV... The movie looks poor and like without antialiassing... (Fglrx 8.2)
[14:31] <IdleOne> nickrud, so that means the os thinks it is fully installed on the HD and not virtualy
[14:31] <Necrodrako> prince_jammys: yeah
[14:31] <slavik> I have 2 network cards (connected to two different networks) yet iptables allows connecting only to one of the networks.
[14:31] <prince_jammys> Necrodrako: should work
[14:31] <slavik> How do I fix this?
[14:31] <IdleOne> ikonia, thanks
[14:31] <Upir> Ello all
[14:31] <Necrodrako> prince_jammys: I appreciate the help, ill go do that now. Thanks!
[14:31] <nickrud> IdleOne: yes. There's a few things at the hardware level that benefit from tweaking, but it's done automatically
[14:31] <Webdevotion> IdleOne, do you get errors when trying to install from the alternate cd's?
[14:32] <prince_jammys> Necrodrako: np
[14:32] <IdleOne> Webdevotion, have not tried yet but I get errors from the livecd
[14:32] <Webdevotion> what kind of errors?
[14:32] <IdleOne> Webdevotion, not enough memory
[14:33] <Webdevotion> ic, I had that when trying the "full" version
[14:33] <IdleOne> Webdevotion, Host memory low is the error I get
[14:33] <IdleOne> Webdevotion, although there is 512mb should be plenty to install
[14:33] <Webdevotion> idd
[14:34] <Mushrooms> I'm sorry, this might sound like a silly question, but when your computer locks up in windows, you usually try to do a ctrl alt delete to try and kill off the non responding application. Is there like a Ubuntu/linux equivalent of this?
[14:34] <Webdevotion> I'm trying to install on an older ibm thinkpad (xubuntu)
[14:34] <tiberion> can someone help me get an irc cloak?
[14:34] <Webdevotion> always fail to install the base system
[14:35] <sn0> Mushrooms there is , using the magic sysrq keys
[14:35] <Upir> Still very new to Ubuntu, is there a way to mount a second hard drive, and if so, where would I be able to find the info on how to do it?  I can't seem to find anything on how, but I kinda remember seeing that it could be done somewhere.
[14:35] <dgjones> tiberion, you'd be better joining #freenode and asking in there
[14:35] <white_eagle> !info tcsh
[14:35] <sn0> a google shows something like http://fosswire.com/2007/09/08/fix-a-frozen-system-with-the-magic-sysrq-keys/ Mushrooms
[14:35] <ubotu> tcsh (source: tcsh): TENEX C Shell, an enhanced version of Berkeley csh. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.14.00-7 (gutsy), package size 330 kB, installed size 692 kB
[14:35] <Mushrooms> sn0 i read somewhere about ctrl alt f1 but all that did was cause a source of panic by making my screen completely dark
[14:35] <dgjones> !cloak > tiberion (Please see the private message from ubotu)
[14:35] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: ps ax lists all processes by number, then you can do "kill process_number", OR you can just type "killall process_name" , eg. killall firefox
[14:36] <sn0> Mushrooms ctrl+alt+f1 to ctrl+alt+f6 mearly open a tty terminal login, thats how it works :) you can switch back to the gui using ctrl+alt+f7
[14:36] <W8TAH> !cloak > w8tah
[14:36] <nickrud> Mushrooms: if alt-f2 works, type xkill and then click the offending window
[14:36] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys, sn0: I installed that macromedia flash plugin and it hung my firefox big time
[14:36] <Webdevotion> Which program do you guys use to burn an ISO on Windows to install a fresh system?  Getting errors in my burns.
[14:37] <nickrud> Webdevotion: infrarecorder , open source
[14:37] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: installed from where?
[14:37] <Webdevotion> ok, will look it up
[14:37] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys, sn0 nickrud: infact it locked up so hardcore that my mouse wouldn't even move anymore.
[14:37] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: the repositories
[14:37] <sn0> Mushrooms flash is made by adobe, so it can and will do that :) maybe try "gnash" which works a bit better thesedays
[14:37] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: through the synaptics packet manager
[14:37] <nickrud> Mushrooms: then you need that sysrq link sn0 gave you
[14:37] <kwrobel2008> webdevotion: ISORecorder
[14:37] <sn0> a bit better than older gnash, not adobe flash
[14:38] <bazhang> Webdevotion: isorecorder2 its freeware
[14:38] <Webdevotion> tnx
[14:38] <Wirwing> How can i enable direct rendering? heres my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55964/ I have aixgl enabled, dri, etc.
[14:38] <kwrobel2008> webdevotion: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/
[14:38] <nickrud> open source > freeware
[14:38] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: ok for the future - when X is stuck, do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to access a terminal , and Ctrl-Alt-F7 to go back to X after you've killed the bad program... try it now if you've never tried it before ..  as far as the plug in, sorry don't know
[14:38] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys, sn0, nickrud: I also had a look at the 'bugs.launchpad" to see if other people had the same problem, and it appears that it's been reported
[14:39] <kwrobel2008> Webdevotion: After installing ISORecorder, you will get an extra menu item when you right-click on an ISO file to burn to CD.
[14:39] <test3r> jrib > OK I've even tried reinstall. Now that I've moved the last files it was fussing with bak in place, it now makes a New error, more grewsome. now its wanting gtk and its calling TreeView (because they put in a file browser button/widget in this program- obviously incorrectly)
[14:39] <nickrud> Wirwing: try removing the Group 0 in your dri config, that limits direct rendering to root
[14:39] <test3r> jrib r u still there? n about?  =)
[14:39] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: when i do a ctrl-alt-f1, my screen just goes completely dark.. it doesn't look like a terminal at all
[14:40] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: you don't get a prompt?
[14:40] <jrib> test3r: did this program ever work?
[14:40] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: no, no prompt, the screen just goes completel dark
[14:40] <xoai> Mushrooms: text mode
[14:40] <test3r> yes it worked for quite some time
[14:40] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: *completely
[14:40] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: crap - screen resolution issue
[14:40] <test3r> its 'pypar2'
[14:40] <Wirwing> nickrud: remove all the section "DRI",  or just the "group 0" text?
[14:40] <test3r> its a GUI for parcing the par2 files
[14:40] <nickrud> Wirwing: just the group 0
[14:40] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: the prompt is there, you just don't see it :) -- if you know what i mean
[14:40] <jrib> test3r: does par2 work without the gui?
[14:41] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yep i'm with you. it's 'outside' the viewable area
[14:41] <test3r> dunno! loemme try
[14:41] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: when you start ubuntu, can you see the splash screen with the logo?
[14:41] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yes, after that fix you directed me to earlier, i can see the splash screen now
[14:42] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: ah it was you ... ok you have a similar problem with the tty (terminal)
[14:42] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: for both powering on and powering off sequences, i see the logo
[14:43] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: oh ok, i can find that through the 'bugs.launch' site right?
[14:43] <idefix> ok, so we need to be constructive, we also need to help lamers/thiefs/criminals...
[14:43] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: currently googling
[14:43] <vix> is it possible to restore gnome in some way? I cant see any menus, neither start any X programs..
[14:43] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: ok, i'll give it a shot. one has to become independent some day :)
[14:44] <acrimo> i've just installed Ubuntu Desktop 7.10 (alternate CD) - installation went fine, GRUB is installed, when it comes to boot though, i get a message about the kernel tables at the bottom of the screen, then a blank screen
[14:44] <acrimo> no splash screen is displayed, and nothing happens
[14:44] <nickrud> acrimo: how long did you wait?
[14:44] <acrimo> i've tried ctrl, shift + backspace to kill X in case it was a display prob, but that didn't work
[14:44] <simonaG> hi
[14:44] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: try google ubuntu tty "black screen", it's out there
[14:44] <acrimo> i waited about 15 mins nickrud
[14:45] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: tty (teletype terminal i think) is the name for that type of terminal
[14:45] <nickrud> acrimo: that's long enough for it to not be what I was thinking
[14:45] <acrimo> the recovery mode works fine, with no errors
[14:45] <acrimo> and if i use startx in recovery mode, then i get the desktop
[14:45] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yeah i didn't know what tty was so i had to do a define:tty in google first haha
[14:45] <Wirwing> i tried, but it doesnt work.
[14:46] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: old-school name for terminals, back when they were teletype
[14:46] <nickrud> acrimo: try  editing  /boot/grub/menu.lst , changing  #groot=quiet   (remove splash)  run  update-grub ,  and rebooting
[14:46] <nickrud> acrimo: that removes the splash screen, gives a text boot screen
[14:47] <Wirwing> heres my xorg. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55966/ I cant enable direct rendering, i dont know why.
[14:47] <m4steR> when i try to insert a cd i view on the screen "cannot mount volume"
[14:47] <m4steR> why?? :(
[14:47] <test3r> jrib > par2 itself appears to be fine. I think I've been here b4! Deja Vu!@ this program needs a fixing I'ma write a note & learn C# Today.
[14:47] <acrimo> will give that a go
[14:47] <acrimo> thanks nickrud
[14:47] <jrib> test3r: you should try purging it and installing again
[14:47] <prince_jammys> m4steR: has it always said that or did it ever work?
[14:48] <nickrud> Wirwing: put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[14:48] <test3r> is that the "remove complete" is that ne different?
[14:48] <m4steR> prince_jammys, no by ever
[14:48] <m4steR> ever didn't work
[14:48] <test3r> (i use Synaptic for as much as I can)
[14:49] <jrib> test3r: not sure, do 'sudo aptitude purge pypar2' to be certain
[14:49] <test3r> ok
[14:49] <nickrud> jrib: yes, remove completely in synaptic is purge
[14:49] <Repley> hi. new ati driver (8.2) on ati web site! someone have tried? can i install without uninstall old driver?
[14:49] <jrib> test3r: see what nickrud said.  Thanks nickrud
[14:50] <test3r> oh, dang it par2 is going lol i ned it to do the ones its doing, too =/
[14:50] <nickrud> Repley: the new one will overwrite the new one
[14:50] <jrib> test3r: well you are going to reinstall it
[14:50] <nickrud> Repley: erm, overwrite the old one, that is
[14:50] <test3r> it might have installed the par2 guts when it installed pypar2. not sure how it will handle deps
[14:50]  * nickrud goes off to read the change log .. thanks for the heads up by the way Repley 
[14:50] <Repley> nickrud: ok. thank you. i'm going to install.
[14:51] <test3r> a f it yeah hrere i run thing
[14:51] <prince_jammys> how do you make a message like what nickrud just did?
[14:51] <Repley> i hope that new ATI driver solve hibernation and suspend
[14:51] <Ayabara> I see the default theme for hardy will not be changed much. anyone got a tip for another good-looking theme?
[14:51] <jrib> prince_jammys: /me
[14:51] <nickrud> prince_jammys:  start with /me
[14:51] <prince_jammys> thx

[14:53] <dasorm> hi :) how to get fancy color scheme for console?
[14:54] <julo> hi
[14:54] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: heh, there's that too
[14:54] <jrib> dasorm: google "bash color prompt"
[14:55] <nickrud> Wirwing: everything I read in there says dri is enabled, what does glxinfo | grep direct say?
[14:55] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: If I were to set the screen resolution of the splash and logo to something low, it wouldn't affect how i see everything in the OS will it? I had a quick browse through the answers.launch place, and it appears linked to the problem I had earlier
[14:55] <Nutubuntu> I ran the kernel update yesterday, and when I reboot, I get Error 13 -- I think this is a Grub error -- it says that the executable (the kernel?) is not okay. I'm trying to find out if there's any way to recover from this besides reinstalling
[14:55] <Justuser> hi ppl
[14:56] <Wirwing> nickrud: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
[14:56] <nickrud> Wirwing: are you running xserver-xgl?
[14:56] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: the problems are related, but i don't know what effect changing the res would have.  try if you want -- remember how to restore everything if it messes stuff up
[14:56] <Wirwing> no, i dont have it installed, cause im using aixgl
[14:56] <Justuser> is there who install ubuntu on a mac ?
[14:56] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yeah i'm going to have a go at that now
[14:56] <Asra> Just got back from some extensive testing to try and get my network to start on boot. No luck yet ... anyone got a good step by step guide?
[14:57] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: the problems are definitely related - it's an issue of screen resolution when you are not in the desktop environment
[14:57] <nickrud> Wirwing: just wanted to be sure
[14:57] <Wirwing> nickrud: ok, i have installed it, and then?
[14:58] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: I understand. I'll have a crack at trying to fix this one myself.. hopefully i don't screw up hehe
[14:58] <nickrud> Wirwing: this stumps me, since line 773 and 774 say dri is good. And you don't want xserver-xgl , it will cause glxinfo to say no to direct rendering
[14:58] <Justuser> helllo$$$
[14:59] <nickrud> Wirwing: a stupid question, you did restart X after removing that group line?
[14:59] <Wirwing> nickrud, i really dont care about direct rendering, but if i run compiz, it call that process at the beginning, saying something like: Direct rendering =no, and all the other stuff doesnt start.
[15:00] <Wirwing> nickrud: of course.

[15:01] <Asra> so .. no easy guides for installing internet connection on boot?
[15:01] <nickrud> Wirwing: then lets take a look at LIBGL_DUG=verbose  glxinfo
[15:01] <nickrud> Asra: wired dhcp ?
[15:02] <Asra> yep .. at least as far as I know
[15:03] <nickrud> Asra:    in /etc/network/interfaces , make sure you have the lines   auto eth0      and    iface eth0 inet dhcp   , that should be all you need
[15:03] <nickrud> Asra: assuming your nic is identified as eth0
[15:03] <Asra> ok .. now comes the noob part .. how do I open that :D
[15:03] <test3r> jrib > Even doing aptitude purge, than install on it changed nothing with the error it gives me. I guess I'll just use normal par2 pak in terminal. I should contact pak maker & explain error, though.
[15:03] <nickrud> Asra: in a terminal,   sudoedit /etc/network/interfaces

[15:05] <nickrud> Asra: too far in the future?
[15:05] <Asra> yes
[15:06] <nickrud> Asra: try sudo -v  , then the sudoedit again
[15:06] <Asra> okidoki :)

[15:06] <feysalus> Hi, I installed pulseaudio, everything works great except I get no audio from flash videos in firefox - how do I fix it?
[15:06] <Asra> nope .. still time stamp error
[15:07] <nickrud> Asra: you'll probably need to reboot. I've never had that error, and google gives those as possible solutions
[15:07] <Mushrooms> reboot time, i hope this works bbl
[15:08] <Asra> hmm .. ok .. thnx nickrud ... I'll see what happens when I do that then
[15:09] <Woifi1988> hi

[15:11] <Wirwing> nickrud: lol, i missed that. Im gonna unninstall it and think about doing next. :(

[15:28] <acrimo> prince_jammys: i think the loading bar gets right to the end
[15:28] <Docfxit> jrib » yes. It works great.
[15:28] <acrimo> i'll just check again
[15:28] <linda> okay
[15:28] <cens0red> linda I remember seeing a howto up there about how to set up usb devices.
[15:28] <Wirwing> tux: just search for mp3 in sypnaptic, and install the right packages, there are the necessary codecs to play mp3 files
[15:29] <oshi> morning all
[15:29] <jrib> Docfxit: strange that the gui did not work.  I tried a similar example here and it seemed to work okay
[15:29] <Asra> morning? :D .. its 4:30 in the afternoon here
[15:29] <bazhang> tux ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:29] <acrimo> prince_jammys: yes, it gets all the way to the end
[15:29] <acrimo> then the splash screen goes a sort of blue colour for a split second
[15:29] <acrimo> then i see a blinking cursor at the top left of the screen
[15:29] <acrimo> then the cd-drive spins up
[15:30] <acrimo> then the screen is blank
[15:30] <Docfxit> jrib » Maybe when I select the computer name which is docfxit it isn't pointing to the root?
[15:30] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: Sorry I need to ask you another question again, I have tried to call up different programs using the terminal, namely gedit, firefox. I notice that if I open a separate terminal, and issue "killall gedit" it closes the connection between gedit and the terminal, as well as shutting down gedit. This is not true for firefox. Is this normal?
[15:30] <prince_jammys> Docfxit: jrib 's way is good, and alternative is "locate manager.*' which does NOT search the drive, it searches a previously made index of the drive (so it may not be fully updated),, locate is faster, but less accurate
[15:30] <test3r> tux: you want the extras. yes. plugins. =might as well get good bad ugly the crazy etc then u hav playback for a lot.
[15:30] <black_> I can't switch resolutions with xrandr
[15:30] <rever> bazhang, What is the best player to use for HD Content on Gutsy?
[15:30] <ubuntu-sw> hi i have a file file.zix how can i extract it
[15:30] <bazhang> rever I have had luck with vlc; opinions vary on that one
[15:30] <tux> thank test3r  & bazhang
[15:31] <bazhang> np
[15:31] <Docfxit> prince_jammys » Very nice to know about both ways. Tx.
[15:31] <bazhang> rever you may also want to visit www.medibuntu.org and get the win32codecs if you dont have them
[15:31] <test3r> er actually
[15:32] <test3r> !multimedia tux
[15:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about multimedia tux - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:32] <ubuntu-sw> hi i have a file file.zix how can i extract it
[15:32] <dgjones> ubuntu-sw, it doesn't look like you can do anything in ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432865, you might be able to get something running under wine though
[15:32] <test3r> !multimedia
[15:32] <ubotu> Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
[15:32] <boris> hello
[15:32] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: a little confused by the question --- but one thing : when you open a program from a terminal, that program is 'bound' to the terminal ... so if you then close the terminal, it will also close the program...  one way to invoke programs using commands and not have to keep a terminal open is with Ctrl-Alt-F2  try it ... i don't understand your original question
[15:33] <test3r> ;)
[15:33] <rever> bazhang, I have all the codecs and like I said the play OK just not as well as I thought. On my older system everything is smooth. CPU is low too. Here on the dual core I get 78% so thats one full core and haf of another
[15:33] <ubuntu-sw> so i can not extract .zix files on ubuntu
[15:34] <MasterMel> is there a standard password and username for samba?
[15:34] <bazhang> rever what driver you have for that video card?
[15:34] <jrib> !samba > mastermel (read the private message from ubotu)
[15:34] <rever> bazhang, The latest 169 buy Nvidia
[15:34] <bazhang> manually installed rever?
[15:35] <rever> bazhang, I used envy
[15:35] <acrimo> do i need to run anything after making a change to /etc/X11/xorg.conf for it to take effect?
[15:35] <bazhang> uh oh envy
[15:35] <Pici> acrimo: You need to restart xwindows.  Either by ctrl-alt-backspace or sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[15:35] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yeah i noticed that one single terminal handles one instance of gedit only.
[15:35] <Wirwing> I dont have direc rendering. Heres my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55972/
[15:36] <rever> bazhang, I am thinking about recompiling mplayer with better options as I do not think it was compiled to play HD content.
[15:36] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: don't worry about the question, now that i read it, it doesn't make sense to myself
[15:36] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: another tip, since you are exploring the terminal is tab completion -- do you use it?
[15:37] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yep i know about tab completion, it's partially implemented in windows too
[15:37] <bazhang> rever you might also consider using the restricted driver manager to install the drivers--envy is not well considered here
[15:37] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: ok -- in the terminal it will expand both known commands and file names
[15:37] <rever> bazhang, the restricted driver is outdated. I was going to do it manually but decided to use envy since it builds a deb package.
[15:38] <Lieuwe> hello
[15:38] <acrimo> Pici: would restarting the system do it?
[15:38] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: handy when you have crap like Program\ Files/Adobe\ Photoshop and such
[15:38] <Pici> acrimo: sure.
[15:38] <Necrodrako> Hello, Im using Gutsy Gibbon, I have a "Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 2.0"  which has side buttons primarily used for navigating back and forth in a browser. I cannot seem to get these buttons to function Ive tried several tutorials, to no avail. can anyone here help me?
[15:38] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: yep i know what you mean. thanks for the tip :)
[15:39] <rever> bazhang, it worked and everything loads without issues and I configured xorg myself. So other than the envy created a deb package it is the same as running the nvidia installer itself. From what I can see

[16:11] <whites> anyone can help me?:P
[16:12] <prince_jammys> NeXtDaY: don't install automatix, what are you trying to install?
[16:12] <bazhang> NeXtDaY: world class mess ;] ; not to worry though--whatever issues you have with gutsy will be mild in comparison
[16:12] <dgjones> !ask | whites
[16:12] <ubotu> whites: 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. :-)
[16:12] <bazhang> NeXtDaY: and of course we will be here and you can ask all you like ;]
[16:12] <frijolie> does anybody know, is HD-DVD playback software or hardware?
[16:12] <pckopat> bye
[16:12] <pckopat> :=)
[16:12] <NeXtDaY> prince_jammys: I don't want to install automatix, but it is installed here already :P, what a mess
[16:13] <prince_jammys> NeXtDaY: ah i see
[16:13] <whites> i got gutsy and i have a creative soundblaster x-fi fatal1ty... but i don't know how to install it :P
[16:13] <bazhang> hardware but offtopic here frijolie
[16:13] <frijolie> i'm purchasing a Toshiba Laptop which has a HD-DVD combo drive (it is also a DVD+- writer)
[16:13] <NeXtDaY> bazhang: Yep. will do that soon. first i must get gusty livecd
[16:13] <prince_jammys> whites: sound card not detected?
[16:13] <whites> nope... in devices there are 0 soundcards
[16:13] <frijolie> buzhang: I don't care about playing HD-DVDs, i just want to make sure the drive will be recoginized and function as a regular DVD drive
[16:13] <NeXtDaY> bazhang: thanks for your help. hope to see u here soon :)
[16:13] <whites> but in pci devices there is creative x-fi
[16:14] <bazhang> frijolie: should do--though running a livecd would help if the store lets you ;]
[16:14] <bazhang> NeXtDaY: see you later ;]
[16:14] <prince_jammys> whites: have had this problem but dont remember solution, sorry
[16:14] <NeXtDaY> bye
[16:14] <neverblue> frijolie, so you possibly want to play an HD-DVD on your DVD player?
[16:15] <frijolie> bazhang: good idea, i'll see if they'll let me use a LiveCD...
[16:15] <frijolie> neverblue: well, it would be nice...but definately not a requirement. I could live without it
[16:16] <whites> prince_jammys thanks for reading it... if anyone knows how to install x-fi soundblaster fatal1ty on gutsy tell me how to :)
[16:16] <frijolie> neverblue: I know there's not software out there that will play it, right? Totem, VLM, MPlayer?

[16:18] <boris> Pici: camera, not webcam
[16:18] <Pici> genii: ah.
[16:18] <rvalles> networkmanager just doesn't work; wifi connects but only when I go to the config tool and edit (touching nothing) the wifi settings.
[16:18] <Pici> boris: Ah, sorry, misunderstood.
[16:18] <frijolie> genii: thanks, I'll check out that link
[16:19] <prince_jammys> thesaint4444: how are you going to run wine programs without a desktop environment?
[16:19] <rvalles> on boot, it does indeed launch wpa_supplicant, but doesn't connect anywhere (doesn't even set the essid)
[16:19] <boris> Pici: ive got Ixus 70 digital camera, maybe you could help me, ubuntu 7.10 cant detect it and i _need_ to get photos off it
[16:19] <frijolie> bazhang: your guess, it will still be recognized and work as a normal DVD player?
[16:19] <frijolie> bazhang: that's all I really care about.
[16:19] <thesaint4444> prince_jammys: it is a console program... does not need a window...
[16:20] <rvalles> how can I disable an interface from NetworkManager point of view, so that I can set up that one by hand?
[16:20] <prince_jammys> thesaint4444: i know, but the windows programs that it runs need windows
[16:20] <AJC_Z0> boris: Can you remove the storage device from it and put it in a reader?
[16:20] <bazhang> frijolie: I would read up on that a bit--I always do my homework when buying new hardware--usually asking someone in irc is my last step ;]
[16:20] <thesaint4444> prince_jammys: no... the windows program is a console program.
[16:20] <Jouva> I'm wondering if there's a PAM library (or other authentication software) that can use the 6 digit output from VeriSign "Identity Protection" key fobs in Ubuntu?
[16:20] <amenado> rvalles-> just go and modify /etc/network/interfaces
[16:21] <frijolie> bazhang: where do you suggest looking, I've already tried the forums (ubuntuforums.org)
[16:21] <adamb> Hey guys I am trying to get my dual monitors working, but it only displays on one, any idea on how i would go about getting this fixed?
[16:21] <prince_jammys> thesaint4444: you mean its DOS?
[16:21] <thesaint4444> prince_jammys: windows runs on top of dos...
[16:21] <bazhang> frijolie: something like computer name ubuntu gutsy hd-dvd support or along those lines for search terms in google
[16:21] <prince_jammys> thesaint4444: did you check whether wine can run in DOS mode? i thought it couldn't
[16:21] <rvalles> amenado: if an interface is set that way, networkmanager won't manage it?
[16:21] <whites> it's boring having gutsy without soundcard :°°° omg
[16:22] <boris> AJC_Z0: how ?
[16:22] <adamb> ctrl-atl-bkspace used to take me to console mode back in the day, how do I get to init 3 nowadays?
[16:22] <thesaint4444> prince_jammys: yes I believe it can.
[16:22] <amenado> rvalles nm uses same file /etc/network/interfaces
[16:22] <boris> AJC_Z0: you mean a SD card reader ? i dont have it
[16:22] <nano-> How do I enable wireless if I've been using the cable for a while? Pulling out the cable and disabling the kill-switch doesn't help.
[16:22] <frijolie> bazhang: I seem to remember hearing about an online linux hardware compatibility list

[16:22] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[16:23] <thesaint4444> prince_jammys: anyway it doesn't work like that... thanks.
[16:23] <rvalles> amenado: thing is, I want to hide wlan0 from nm, so that nm doesn't touch it ever
[16:23] <nano-> Not that this is Hardy, not Gutsy, so my own fault, but it's factory default Hardy so just pointing it out so that it will not be broken when Hardy arrives.
[16:23] <prince_jammys> thesaint4444: ok
[16:23] <nano-> s/Not/Note/
[16:23] <amenado> rvalles thing is dont use nm
[16:23] <SHARKattack> i want to remote into my ubuntu with ssh on port 22 what should i install on my ubuntu box?
[16:23] <safiyyah> I was using xfce4, and I was trying to fix my broken window manager in gnome so I typed Alt+F2 metacity-replace, worked to fix the window manager in gnome but since I first did it in xfce4, that also got changed, Any idea how I can set it back to the default?
[16:23] <nano-> Good luck fixing it, and reading the scrollback, this place seems to be crazy.
[16:24] <dr-raku> can anybody help me to fix hal-device-manager to get it running again? it gives some messages and dies ( http://pastebin.com/md66f4af ); i'm running gutsy and noticed this behaviour after today's autoupdate
[16:24] <amenado> SHARKattack-> intall the open ssh server
[16:24] <fatereconciled> Why remote into ubuntu?
[16:24] <rvalles> amenado: quite smart, but it's part of ubuntu's base stuff
[16:24] <rvalles> amenado: this is my sister computer, I can't go and break up the whole system to disable it
[16:24] <amenado> rvalles-> just because its there in the base, you dont have to use it, how often do you tinker with cron?
[16:24] <thesaint4444> prince_jammys: hey no problem, thanks...
[16:25] <rvalles> anyways, it seems you're right and it stores his stuff there, amenado
[16:25] <rvalles> but the wpa key, which isn't there; where is it?
[16:25] <amenado> rvalles how often do you tinker with syslogd ?
[16:25] <meekolope> hello all
[16:25] <Tankado> hello anyone know how i can install the eclipse-cdt plugin for ubuntu? is there a package or something?
[16:25] <adamb> How do I get from X windows to console mode (run level 3) ?
[16:25] <rvalles> amenado: I use gentoo at home
[16:25] <ikonia> Tankado: search synaptic to see if there is a package in the repo
[16:25] <amenado> rvalles-> wpa keys are also defined in same interfaces file
[16:25] <meekolope> adamb: init 3
[16:26] <rvalles> amenado: I got computers for my sisters as a present, this one needs wifi (router in another room, no cable)
[16:26] <Tankado> ikonia : i  tried i only see "eclipse" as a whole but not the cdt plugin
[16:26] <meekolope> adamb: as root
[16:26] <ikonia> adamb: ubuntu uses runlevel 2 by default
[16:26] <fatereconciled> I've had problems with using secure WPA with ubuntu
[16:26] <adamb> that does nothing
[16:26] <rvalles> amenado: it's not there.
[16:26] <ikonia> Tankado: what format file does the plugin come in
[16:26] <Pici> adamb: You want to stop xwindows temporarily?
[16:26] <rvalles> amenado: what's the syntax? then I'd try and add that by hand
[16:26] <adamb> init 3 doesn't do anything.
[16:26] <amenado> rvalles-> you have to add it in, it does not magically add the wpa keys
[16:26] <adamb> Pici: yes..
[16:26] <whites> anyone knows how to install x-fi soundblaster fatal1ty on gutsy?!
[16:26] <adamb> Where is the inittab?
[16:26] <Pici> adamb: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[16:27] <amenado> rvalles i dont know on top of my head, but if you google for it am sure you'd find the correct one
[16:27] <dr-raku> whites, in.. /etc/ ??
[16:27] <Tankado> they offer to download it there : http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/downloads.php  but i heard its arealy long process and thought i could find something simpler
[16:27] <fatereconciled> Whites: Is your card blacklisted
[16:27] <amenado> rvalles some info we dont have readily available, so we google for it ourselves
[16:27] <ikonia> Tankado: doesn't look like there is anything in the repo for it
[16:27] <rvalles> amenado: networkmanager _knows_ the key... it does even work the moment I edit the essid (delete a char and put it back, then click okay)
[16:28] <dr-raku> rvalles, any ideea, please? :|
[16:28] <whites> dr-raku it is not detected
[16:28] <Tankado> ok thanks ikonia will just d/l it from there
[16:28] <rvalles> amenado: if networkmanager did work, it'll all be easy and nice, it's just exposing problems
[16:28] <macogw> adamb: ubuntu uses runlevels like debian does
[16:28] <macogw> adamb: 2-5 are all the same thing: multiuser with X
[16:28] <adamb> yeah im unsure of that, im used to fedora/rh
[16:28] <js1> if i have a file.deb how do i install it?
[16:28] <[chr0n0s]> Can anyone help me with compiz and ATi Driver version: 8.455.2 ?? || can i get it working without XGL ?
[16:28] <adamb> oh so how do I get to a runlevel without X, heh
[16:28] <amenado> rvalles i advised you already, you dont have to tinker with it if you have it set in the interfaces file
[16:28] <ikonia> js1: dpkg -i
[16:28] <frijolie> will Ubuntu ever allow package selection during install?
[16:28] <macogw> adamb: you can use update-rc.d to edit what starts or doesnt during different runlevels
[16:28] <fatereconciled> jsl: dpkg
[16:28] <macogw> adamb: its the debian version of chkconfig
[16:29] <fatereconciled> Or ikonia beat me to that :P
[16:29] <adamb> Ahh ok got it.
[16:29] <bazhang> frijolie: you can try the minimal install
[16:29] <acrimo> how can i increase the number of screen resolutions supported? I have a graphics card and monitor capable of 1680x1050 but the list only goes upto 1280x1024
[16:29] <js1> thx
[16:29] <js1> Package libpcap0 is not installed.
[16:29] <js1> ?
[16:29] <ikonia> js1: and ?
[16:29] <macogw> adamb: i am now glad i'm taking a (wayyyy too easy for a seniors-only class) sysadmin class that forces me to learn RH
[16:29] <js1> how do i install it: apt-get install libpcap doesnt work
[16:30] <macogw> js1: libcap1
[16:30] <macogw> js1: thats the only libcap in the repos
[16:30] <ikonia> js1: use synaptic - search for libpcap
[16:30] <frijolie> bazhang: is there a list of packages installed in that "minimal install"?
[16:30] <whites> anyone knows how to install x-fi soundblaster fatal1ty on gutsy?! the device is not detected
[16:30] <ikonia> js1: are you trying to install nmap, or something like that

[16:31] <rvalles> amenado: manpage for interfaces doesn't have anything wireless-related on it
[16:31] <fatereconciled> whites: You will have to install Asta driver
[16:31] <rvalles> amenado: yup, it's not so easy
[16:31] <whites> fatereconciled have u got an howto?
[16:31] <thesaint4444> prince_jammys: fyi you don't need to run winecfg if you dont have a windows server, just setup a wine config file....
[16:32] <fatereconciled> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[16:32] <amenado> rvalles okay lets do this together, open up your browser, point to google and search on  ubuntu interfaces wpa key
[16:32] <prince_jammys> thesaint4444: i was looking for that ... most of the documentation now assumes you're in a desktop environment
[16:32] <fatereconciled> Instead of disabling HD at BIOS disable the soundblaster
[16:33] <neighborlee> just wondeing, will upgrading a single core > dual core  CPU confuse a new install ? ( meaning I  should wait ) ?
[16:33] <frijolie> bazhang: ok, I've never heard of the minimal install..I'll bet you have to install a bunch of stuff afterwards. does it at least install a graphical boot?
[16:33] <js1> ikonia: ipaudit
[16:33] <ikonia> nerdsquad3210: should be fine
[16:33] <thesaint4444> prince_jammys: someone one the debian irc channel told me :-) cheers.
[16:33] <whites> lol i'm going crazy
[16:33] <bazhang> frijolie: not sure at all--my only minimal install was a debian net boot ;]
[16:33] <nerdsquad3210> what what ?
[16:33] <fatereconciled> Whites
[16:34] <fatereconciled> Did you get that?
[16:34] <amenado> rvalles has that help yet?
[16:34] <frijolie> bazhang: D'oh!
[16:34] <whites> yep i saved the bookmark
[16:34] <prince_jammys> frijolie: a truly minimal install like ubuntu server does not include a graphical login
[16:34] <fatereconciled> alright
[16:34] <whites> i'm in office now... i'm getting infos
[16:34] <fatereconciled> ahh
[16:34] <rvalles> amenado: ok, found something useful; the main problem was that nm or somebody was launching wpa_supplicant with -C
[16:34] <ikonia> js1: js1 ipaudit wants an older version of libpcap than ubuntu 7.04 or 7.10 ships with (just reading the dependencies)
[16:34] <fatereconciled> What are you running 7.1?
[16:34] <whites> yep
[16:34] <fatereconciled> Hah yeah.. same problem here
[16:34] <bazhang> prince_jammys: not talking about the server though thanks

[16:35] <prince_jammys> bazhang: is there another minimal install?
[16:35] <ikonia> Hisotaso: 32bit desktop
[16:35] <Indiadev_Techie> [-Haza-]: may be...
[16:35] <bazhang> prince_jammys: aye
[16:35] <amenado> rvalles okay, good luck, a lil nudge is all it took you.. :)
[16:35] <[-Haza-]> HEheh, i like the answer
[16:35] <Hisotaso> ikonia: is that a question?
[16:35] <ikonia> Hisotaso: yes,
[16:36] <adamb> So I installed nvida driver with "envy" but it doesn't seem to see my secondary monitor, what else can i do?
[16:36] <whites> fatereconciled there are 64b drivers from creative but i don't know why the installation crash...
[16:36] <ikonia> !envy > adamb
[16:36] <neverblue> ikonia, i seena previous post for me, about a plugin, wrong person, correct?
[16:36] <js1> thx
[16:36] <Hisotaso> Ikonia i dont know where i can check that
[16:36] <ikonia> neverblue: spot on
[16:36] <adamb> ikonia: ?
[16:36] <[-Haza-]> Pici: Cheers mate :)
[16:36] <ikonia> Hisotaso: what version of ubuntu did you download 32bit / 64bit desktop / server
[16:36] <ikonia> adamb: check the pm from ubotu
[16:36] <Hisotaso> oph its 32
[16:36] <Hisotaso> sorry
[16:37] <fatereconciled> what do you mean upon loading driver on boot?
[16:37] <Hisotaso> ikonia it was working before but i saw womething online that said the generic kernel supported dual core
[16:37] <Hisotaso> so i wanted to try it
[16:37] <adamb> ikonia: yeah i tried the restricted drivers on and off, and still didn't see my second monitor
[16:37] <whites> fatereconciled are u talking to me? :P
[16:37] <adamb> what else could I try?
[16:37] <fatereconciled> yes =P
[16:37] <frijolie> prince_jammys: well, I definately don't want a server environment. I at least want GNOME installed
[16:37] <rvalles> amenado: gonna reboot now and hopefully will go up during boot
[16:37] <ikonia> Hisotaso: it does
[16:38] <whites> fatereconciled i got 2 soundcards... internal and this x-fi...  i can only load internal drivers from boot
[16:38] <bazhang> frijolie: prince_jammys was unaware of the other minimal install
[16:38] <ikonia> adamb: well, you've borked you ubuntu install as far as I'm concerned using envy
[16:38] <amenado> rvalles if you read up that article on how to wpa... and used  pre-up ...you'd be okay
[16:38] <adamb> I tried before using envy...
[16:38] <Hisotaso> ikonia ya i just tried to go back to the 386 kernel to get my video working, thought i could just choose to boot to it in grub and it would be back to normal
[16:38] <adamb> using restricted drivers
[16:38] <ikonia> adamb: so ?
[16:38] <frijolie> bazhang: oh, so there's minimal install 1 and minimal install 2? Hehe
[16:38] <ikonia> adamb: should have stuck with the drivers and made them work
[16:38] <fatereconciled> go into BIOS and disable both before installing asta
[16:39] <ikonia> adamb: envy is no the answer
[16:39] <Indiadev_Techie> Windows really Suckx !!!
[16:39] <prince_jammys> frijolie: right.  bazhang pointed out the other minimal install ... the server install doesnt even require that you install any server packages, but if you want a desktop you have to install it yourself
[16:39] <whites> fatereconciled they're both disabled
[16:39] <adamb> ikonia: ok i will revert back, but what should I do to make restricted drivers work?
[16:39] <ikonia> Indiadev_Techie: thats not appropriate here.
[16:39] <bazhang> frijolie: well one is the minimal desktop; the other is ubuntu-server and nothing you want as far as I can tell
[16:39] <ikonia> adamb: I'm not debugging an envy mess, I can't support you until you do a re-install on your machine
[16:39] <mjw-> !offtopic | Indiadev_Techie
[16:39] <ubotu> Indiadev_Techie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[16:39] <fatereconciled> whites hmm.. and you're sure all alsa was loaded correctly
[16:39] <blue|palm> what does it mean when apt-get reports (after an upgrade command) that is has held certain packages back?
[16:39] <Indiadev_Techie> ikonia: but it really **** !!!
[16:39] <blue|palm> is there something that needs to be done to install these packages? Are there conflicts? etc
[16:39] <adamb> I will re-install, i am asking when i do re-installed what do I do to get second monitor.
[16:39] <ikonia> Indiadev_Techie: it doesn't matter. It's not appropriate or required here.
[16:40] <Indiadev_Techie> ikonia: i really hate it....
[16:40] <amenado> Blue-Omega-> if you use synaptic, it takes care of dependencies
[16:40] <frijolie> bazhang: isn't there a package called ubuntu-minimal or something similar?
[16:40] <blue|palm> amenado, ^ was that meant for me?
[16:40] <keoni> is there a way to make a hard drive image with dd without img the freespace of a disk?
[16:40] <Kouen> hi everyone
[16:40] <frijolie> Also, what is the current kernel out there?
[16:40] <Indiadev_Techie> ikonia: i have a old via p4 pc with 128mb ram nd 40gb harddrive....can i install ubuntu on it.....
[16:41] <amenado> yeah...change your nick so its easy to type
[16:41] <ikonia> Indiadev_Techie: I'm not interested, and it's not appropriate for this channel
[16:41] <fatereconciled> Not in all cases, amenado.
[16:41] <frijolie> or, how do you tell what kernel you're running. I know there's a command to tell
[16:41] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD frijolie
[16:41] <mahmoud2> indiadev_Techie: may be xubuntu
[16:41] <amenado> fatereconciled-> it will attempt and sometimes off course it  fails..nothing is 100% guaranteed
[16:41] <prince_jammys> frijolie: uname -a
[16:41] <Indiadev_Techie> ikonia: hey, i m askin ubuntu question.. u should help me...
[16:42] <orionjoe> can someone help me? I'm having trouble getting Open Arena to run
[16:42] <frijolie> bazhang: thanks
[16:42] <bazhang> Indiadev_Techie: #fluxbuntu
[16:42] <frijolie> prince_jammys: thanks
[16:42] <bazhang> np
[16:42] <AJC_Z0> boris: Yes, for example. I presume the camera has some unfortunate proprietary interface and doesn't just plug into a USB slot and appear as a mass storage device
[16:42] <nerdsquad3210> are you running open arena as root ?
[16:42] <Kouen> i has tried to install ubuntu linux but after 4 hours of waiting to the next dialog to be open (language selection was last one) i interrupted the installation via reset of the machine i want to know where ubuntu place files (temporal) i have three partition of fat32
[16:42] <amenado> Indiadev_Techie-> !attitude
[16:42] <Indiadev_Techie> i wanna try ubuntu on my old system toooo ....
[16:42] <ikonia> Indiadev_Techie: try it out then
[16:42] <ikonia> Indiadev_Techie: if it meets the minimum requirments, try it
[16:43] <orionjoe> I don't know, I downloaded it. when i run it the screen turns black then goes away.
[16:43] <ikonia> Indiadev_Techie: if it doesn't, it's up to you what you do
[16:43] <orionjoe> sorry, noob here
[16:43] <bazhang> Indiadev_Techie: get the livecd of fluxbuntu run it and if you like it install it
[16:43] <Indiadev_Techie> ikonia: but will it reun sucessfully... i have 128mb on my old pc...
[16:43] <prince_jammys> orionjoe: how much RAM in the old box?
[16:43] <prince_jammys> orionjoe: sorry, wrong nick
[16:43] <ikonia> Indiadev_Techie: if it meets the minimum requirments it will run, how well depends on your needs and usage
[16:43] <frijolie> bazhang: the minimal install is really "minimal" -- it's only 9MB!
[16:43] <orionjoe> that's ok, i was confused for a sec :P
[16:43] <VOYAGER> orionjoe,  lcd screen ?
[16:44] <amenado> Kouen-> just restart the install process, if you are really curious, boot on the liveCD and mount those partitions to check if any where stored
[16:44] <Indiadev_Techie> bazhang: i dont want any other os than ubuntu....
[16:44] <bazhang> hehe yes frijolie
[16:44] <orionjoe> on a laptop
[16:44] <Kibbles> I'm behind a gateway. How can I check my external IP?
[16:44] <alanbshepard70> The other day I installed nvidia drivers for my graphics card and now whenever I run updates or install a .deb package I get a system restart required notice. Why is this and can i keep it from happening?
[16:44] <Kouen> ok thanks
[16:44] <bazhang> Indiadev_Techie: you have asked and been answered this is not a chat channel
[16:44] <orionjoe> so yeah, lcd
[16:44] <amenado> Kibbles-> 62.90.99.15
[16:44] <Kibbles> lol amenado thanks
[16:45] <faris> hey all
[16:45] <nerdsquad3210> hey what are the the differences between installing from live cd oposed to regular install cd ?
[16:45] <fatereconciled> Why not, bazhang
[16:45] <ikonia> nerdsquad3210: the livecd is the regular install cd
[16:45] <bazhang> fatereconciled: why not what?
[16:45] <Kibbles> amenado: how'd you find that out though?
[16:45] <nerdsquad3210> its not
[16:45] <faris> does the live cd have compiz-fusion ?
[16:45] <ikonia> nerdsquad3210: it is
[16:45] <faris> the 700mb one
[16:45] <nerdsquad3210> your kidding
[16:45] <ikonia> nerdsquad3210: no
[16:46] <bazhang> faris very basic effects yes
[16:46] <ikonia> faris: should do, but I don't think running it from a livecd gives a good representation
[16:46] <amenado> Kibbles-> knowhow..learned it...google for tutorials on tcpip  :)
[16:46] <mjw-> !livecd | nerdsquad3210
[16:46] <orionjoe> so no one knows how to get open arena working?
[16:46] <frijolie> bazhang: I'm assuming that doesn't install xserver, right?
[16:46] <ubotu> nerdsquad3210: 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.
[16:46] <faris> no i dont want to run it from the live cd ,,its just for the download size
[16:46] <alanbshepard70> What's the terminal command to send data to a serial port on my computer?
[16:46] <nerdsquad3210> but theres the not live install cdrom
[16:46] <bazhang> frijolie: again no idea there sorry
[16:46] <fatereconciled> Frijolie: It does
[16:46] <sulan> Hi guys, tried enabling Composite Extension with fglrx (latest version) and running KDE 4 in Gutsy Gibbon made my keyboard not working - any ideas?
[16:46] <faris> i didnt know that
[16:47] <faris> and all of them have the compiz-fusion ready out of the box right ?
[16:47] <bazhang> nerdsquad3210: sounds like you got the alternate cd then
[16:47] <Pici> nerdsquad3210: Yes, the alternate CD.  Thats for installing on things that may not be compatible with the LiveCD (usually graphics cards).   No difference in what packages are installed though.
[16:47] <nerdsquad3210> ok
[16:47] <amenado> alanbshepard70-> man uucp,  cu is the command i think..thats goes ways back to your time..lol
[16:47] <frijolie> bazhang or fatereconciled ?
[16:47] <fatereconciled> faris: I had to install compiz manually
[16:47] <bazhang> faris basic stuff if your card supports it
[16:47] <HEP85> nerdsquad3210: it is called alternate install cd
[16:48] <alanbshepard70> amenado: thanks. lol.
[16:48] <frijolie> bazhang <-- the chat help maniac
[16:48] <bazhang> frijolie: haha
[16:48] <faris> yea it does tried it before on opensuse after a very long effort
[16:48] <bazhang> faris what card
[16:48] <nerdsquad3210> shouldn't it be called alternative install cd ?
[16:49] <faris> Geforce 6800GT
[16:49] <kitty_> hello all
[16:49] <credible> faris: the only thing you'll have to install is compizconfig-settings-manager
[16:49] <prince_jammys> nerdsquad3210: alternative installation cd
[16:49] <credible> the rest is provided
[16:49] <Pici> !alternate | nerdsquad3210
[16:49] <bazhang> faris nvidia are nice in ubuntu--that card should be fine
[16:49] <ubotu> nerdsquad3210: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD.  It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal
[16:49] <faris> alright ,,thnx
[16:49] <bazhang> faris I have the 7300 and compiz rocks in it
[16:50] <kitty_> Is it possible to change kubuntu intu ubuntu once it is installed... without a command line?
[16:50] <mar77i> hi i've got a question: what option is there to be added to the first line in a shell script? like in "#!/bin/bash -P"... no idea what that means
[16:50] <nerdsquad3210> compix steals resources from games !
[16:50] <prince_jammys> kitty_: yes
[16:50] <bazhang> kitty_: install ubuntu-desktop from synaptic
[16:50] <Pici> kitty_: All you need to do is install the ubuntu_desktop package from your favorite package manager.
[16:50] <rocky> trying to configure bind9 on my gutsy gibbon server, i have my authoritative domains setup and working properly, but for some reason my dns server refuses to answer requests that are not authoritative, did i miss something somewhere?
[16:50] <Pici> kitty_: which is adept in the case of KDE/Kubuntu
[16:51] <kitty_> great, thank you :)
[16:51] <amenado> actually am curious now, using oem install from 7.10,  one can set a template install and how do one then uses oem logon to customize?
[16:51] <kitty_> May I ask another question?
[16:51] <kitty_> or do I have to buy beer first?
[16:51] <kitty_> :P
[16:51] <Pici> kitty_: As many as you want ;)
[16:51] <bazhang> or synaptic if you are a nut like me and use both ;]
[16:51] <ricky_clarkson> I am using Windows to get online because I don't know how to make mobile broadband work in Ubuntu.  Can I get to my Ubuntu installation using vmware from within Windows, so that it has an Internet connection?
[16:51] <mar77i> hi i've got a question: what option is there to be added to the first line in a shell script? like in "#!/bin/bash -P"... no idea what that means
[16:51] <bazhang> kitty_: no only the one per day please ;]
[16:51] <kitty_> I used Wubi to install Ubuntu, didnt work, then I tried Kubuntu, didnt work, I figured out it was a graphics driver issue
[16:52] <kitty_> I got in through teh command line
[16:52] <Masqy> Hi all, I'm getting confused with xrandr. I have a Lenovo N3000, and would like to use an external monitor...
[16:52] <amenado> ricky_clarkson-> care to ask #vmware channel for windows questions?
[16:52] <kitty_> and installed the vesa driver
[16:52] <ikonia> kitty_: wubi is not a supported install method or tool
[16:52] <mjw-> mar77i that first line basically is calling the "interpreter" for the script that follows...in your case, it's calling bash, which is the default shell for ubuntu
[16:52] <ricky_clarkson> amenado: Hokay.
[16:52] <frijolie> bazhang: i guess I'm just trying to avoid spending 45 min after a fresh install of the ubuntu-desktop, removing all the--what I call--crap packages "rhythmbox, EVOLUTION, xsane, gnome-pilot, bluetooth, orca, ubuntu branded OOo, etc..."
[16:52] <prince_jammys> mar77i you mean what is the -P
[16:52] <kitty_> yes, but its the only option for me at the moment, seeing as how I am studying abroad in Japan, and my cd drive is dead ;)
[16:52] <Pici> mar77i: its also sometimes called the 'shebang' or 'hashbang' line.
[16:53] <kitty_> I didnt want to risk anything that would require me to install anything with a cd... or mes with partitions
[16:53] <ikonia> kitty_: that doesn't change the fact it's not supported
[16:53] <kitty_> right, but I am past the wubi point, I am in kubuntu now
[16:53] <smacky_> what is a good program to convert a vob file
[16:53] <kitty_> so the questions arent regaurding wubi really
[16:53] <ikonia> kitty_: but what/how wubi installs
[16:53] <kitty_> I just wanted to ask about how to install the proper driver, sinc eI am using vesa now
[16:54] <ikonia> kitty_: I'm sure someone else may respond
[16:54] <kitty_> I have a mobility x700, and I just wanted to install the correct driver
[16:54] <smacky_> what is a good program to convert a vob file
[16:54] <VOYAGER> google is your friend
[16:55] <prince_jammys> mar77i the path after the first two characters #!(referrer to as a she-bang) tell your comp where to find the interpreter for what follows .. in the case of a shell script, its /bin/bash
[16:55] <Max_> hello
[16:55] <soulc> how do I ftp a screen shot of my desktop to my webserver on another pc?
[16:55] <ikonia> soulc: is the other pc running an ftp daemon ?
[16:55] <tinman> soulc: if you have a shell, scp
[16:56] <ClarkDB9> Hello every body
[16:56] <HEP85> smacky_: what about avidemux?
[16:56] <VOYAGER> drop it in a shared folder
[16:56] <ClarkDB9> I m new and happy to have UBUNTU
[16:56] <prince_jammys> soulc what step is the problem? the screen shot or the ftp?
[16:57] <Indiadev_Techie> ClarkDB9: Hi
[16:57] <soulc> I want to have this automated where a process takes the screen shot then ftp it to the server and yes the server will run ftpd
[16:57] <soulc> screen shot
[16:57] <amenado> kitty_-> do you have w3m  the non graphical  web browser?
[16:57] <dr-raku> can anybody help me to fix hal-device-manager to get it running again? it gives some messages and dies ( http://pastebin.com/md66f4af ); i'm running gutsy and noticed this behaviour after today's autoupdate
[16:57] <Max_> does any of you have an idea why sun-java6-bin won't configure (post-installation script exits with error code 1)?
[16:57] <ikonia> soulc: pretty straight forward to script if you have the ftp server setup and working
[16:58] <soulc> I don't yet but am really stuck at a script.....
[16:58] <shite> uhh
[16:58] <shite> guys
[16:58] <ikonia> soulc: get that working before you script
[16:58] <soulc> in winbloz I had a nice little program...|-P
[16:58] <shite> i installed windows then i installed ubuntu ..now i cant boot into windows ?.. i dont think i installed over it infact im 99% sure.. is trhere any way to check?
[16:58] <MFen> for some reason nm-applet can't connect to a new network after un-suspend.  has anyone dealt with this before?  scenario is: i'm on a wireless network at home, close laptop to suspend, carry it to work, open the laptop to unsuspend.  new network, it can't join
[16:58] <ikonia> shite: would you consider changing your nick name please.
[16:59] <RussellGee> hey guys
[16:59] <shite> yes
[16:59] <ikonia> soulc: do you mean windows
[16:59] <ikonia> shinygerbil: thanks
[16:59] <MFen> and i can't even force it to join by manually entering the network name and password
[16:59] <Pici> neiloo: thanks.
[16:59] <neiloo> no worries
[16:59] <soulc> ummmm yeah just history
[16:59] <neiloo> sorry
[16:59] <ikonia> neiloo: that was meant for you
[16:59] <neiloo> what was?
[16:59] <soulc> I am on ubuntu desktop and not looking back
[16:59] <ikonia> "thanks"
[16:59] <neiloo> oh
[16:59] <neiloo> do u know my problem?
[17:00] <ikonia> neiloo: I missed it, please ask again
[17:00] <prince_jammys> shite: sudo fdisk -l    will give you a list of partitions on the drive
[17:00] <neiloo> hmm
[17:00] <neiloo>  ok
[17:00] <neiloo> ok
[17:00] <Indiadev_Techie> soulc: gr8
[17:00] <feysalus> hello again, after installing pulseaudio - the controls used to appear in the system tray - they dont anymore - anyone know how to re enable it?
[17:00] <neiloo> hmm
[17:00] <neiloo> it would appear i installed over windows ..but that cant be right
[17:00] <mjw-> !enter | neiloo
[17:01] <ubotu> neiloo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[17:01] <neiloo> mjw?
[17:01] <ikonia> neiloo: what's the problem.
[17:01] <neiloo> ok
[17:01] <ikonia> neiloo: quick summary as I missed it
[17:02] <neiloo> i installed Windows XP .. then i installed ubuntu .. im THOUGHT i installed ubuntu on the partition i MADE for it ..but i might of accidently installed it on the windows partition .. idk .. basically wjat i'd like ti know is .. how to get the boot menu to find windows or to find out if i installed over Windows?
[17:02] <ikonia> neiloo: the boot loader won't tell you that, if you do "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" and put it in a pastebin we can have a look for you
[17:02] <neiloo> ok
[17:02] <kane77> how can I compress files into a tar.gz so that it would "follow" the link to folder that I have? (now I have a symlink that points to  a directory and I want to include the content of that directory as well)
[17:03] <neiloo> oh man its not lookin hopefull
[17:03] <scott> Hey there.
[17:03] <Indiadev_Techie> neiloo: do u see a OS booting option menu ???
[17:04] <ale__> ciao a tutti
[17:04] <neiloo> when i start up ?..no i see grub giving me a countdown
[17:04] <neiloo> wait there
[17:04] <Max_> does any of you have an idea why sun-java6-bin does not configure (post-installation script exits with error code 1)?
[17:04] <HEP85> neiloo: you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.list
[17:04] <neiloo> http://pastebin.com/m3b71a513
[17:05] <neiloo> i think i installed over didnt i?
[17:05] <HEP85> neiloo: if you don't have another hd, then yes
[17:05] <neiloo> i have 2
[17:05] <neiloo> one 250 gig and one 300
[17:05] <prince_jammys> neiloo: looks like windows went bye bye in that device
[17:05] <Zvezdichko> hello, I can't make my cube working in Compiz Config settings
[17:05] <neiloo> hah
[17:06] <mjw-> Zvezdichko what seems to be the issue? Are other compiz effects working?
[17:06] <neiloo> if u installed windows then ubuntu  CORRECTLY.. in the boot loader .. it should see it right?
[17:06] <HEP85> neiloo: what does sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb say?
[17:06] <Zvezdichko> mjw when I type compiz it says Checking for Xgl: not present.
[17:06] <VOYAGER> neiloo,  yes
[17:07] <Survivorman> sudo apt-get install xgl
[17:07] <Zvezdichko> but glxinfo | grep direct says yes
[17:07] <ahorriblemess> helloooo
[17:07] <Survivorman> ok
[17:07] <neiloo> is pastebin slow for anyone else?
[17:07] <ahorriblemess> hey I was wondering if anyone has ever made a Live CD using Remastersys
[17:07] <scott> What video card are you using?
[17:07] <neiloo> http://pastebin.com/m24fb6b78 .. this is SDB
[17:08] <mjw-> Zvezdichko so are you seeing ANY compiz effects?

[17:08] <scott> Zvez>> What video card sre you using?
[17:08] <neiloo> use the CD to boot off the HD ?
[17:08] <mjw-> Zvezdichko you may need xgl server. Otherwise, try pasting the entire output of compiz --replace into a pastebin and someone may be able to help
[17:08] <HEP85> neiloo: a windows partition is there. but since there is no boot flag i guess it is no system partition
[17:08] <prince_jammys> neiloo: looks like you're gonna have to mess with grub
[17:08] <Indiadev_Techie> neiloo: do a fresh install now...
[17:09] <mjw-> zvezdichko xgl is not *always* required for compiz
[17:09] <neiloo> of windows or ubuntu Indiadev_Techie?
[17:09] <VOYAGER> windows always first
[17:09] <HEP85> neiloo: Where did you install windows? On the 250GB or the 300GB HD?
[17:09] <Indiadev_Techie> neiloo: yes windows first then ubuntu....

[17:10] <Indiadev_Techie> neiloo: r u new to ubuntu ???
[17:10] <prince_jammys> how could it be that grub doesn't include his windows partition
[17:10] <MFen> where's a good place to ask questions about nm-applet?

[17:11] <Indiadev_Techie> neiloo: install windows c:\ or any wher u wish.... then...install ubuntu....
[17:11] <VOYAGER> isnt ntfs anymore
[17:11] <mjw-> neiloo was that second hard drive what you booted windows from or did you just put files on it?
[17:11] <prince_jammys> VOYAGER: it's there in the second drive, NTFS
[17:11] <Indiadev_Techie> neiloo: but be sute to assign different partition/drive other than windoes to ubuntu...

[17:20] <console_jockey> So, to simplify: what is the cli command equivelant to "Safely remove" hardware?  It's not umount /my/dev (I've tried that).  Any ideas?

[17:42] <hakon_> Pici: yes, it says "could not mark all packages for installation or update"

[17:48] <wng-> Does anyone know how to mute the laptop speakers when headphones are plugged in?
[17:48] <mjw-> monzie actually just post your entire /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a pastebin
[17:48] <cox377> java and firefox anyone?
[17:48] <eyemean> hi i got slight problem, i installed new hard drive and windows and ubuntu 7.10 with grub
[17:48] <IdleOne> !java | cox377
[17:48] <ubotu> cox377: 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)
[17:48] <brunner> I like how FloodBot2 immediately adds three more lines to the conversation when it detects a flood
[17:48] <hakon_> Pici: one sec
[17:48] <eyemean> but now wen i start up it says it cant find boot omething or other
[17:49] <eyemean> basically grub does not load up
[17:49] <Pici> brunner: it also mutes the person so you don't see the 150 other lines that they are trying to paste.
[17:49] <eyemean> so now i've had to use live cd
[17:49] <IdleOne> brunner, 3 lines from the bot is better then 200 from a troll
[17:49] <profoak> Can any one help me, I recently tried to install vmware and now it trys to install itself as an extra package whenever i try to install anything
[17:49] <Aphh> Heh, looks like I'm not the only one having grub problems today.
[17:49] <monzie> mjw-: http://pastebin.ca/904044
[17:49] <IdleOne> brunner, or a newbie who doesnt know about pastebin
[17:49] <Zombine> So... I see that people come here for help, but what are the people who know what they're doing doing here?  What incentive is there to stick around?
[17:49] <brunner> it could mute and notice or msg instead of talking to the channel
[17:49] <Cew27> hi does anyone here run awn
[17:49] <brunner> and the mute/unmute could be more spaced out
[17:50] <hakon_> Pici:  I have enabled universe if that is what youre going at
[17:50] <brunner> rather, there could be a longer delay for the unmute so it's not all together
[17:50] <Zombine> Not that I'm complaining, but it just surpises me.  Just a helpful spirit, or are y'all payed bt Cannonical?
[17:50] <IdleOne> brunner, good idea. talk to LjL about it . I believe he owns the floodbot's
[17:50] <HEP85> eyemean: the new drive might be now the first one. so the grub config is now wrong
[17:50] <eyemean> can some one please help me sort out grub, im really stuck and im new to linux
[17:50] <cox377> IdleOne: hey, thanks for the link.. I've looked at that page and can't work it out. I've installed 1.6 but for some reason firefox wont load java.. it states applet not intilized.. I've run the reconfigure
[17:50] <Cew27> prince_jammys: sorry to bother you again but do you run awn
[17:50] <foormea> prince_jammys : just tried a "mount --bind" and chown the new mount point but that won't do the trick... the owner just won't change from root..
[17:50] <prince_jammys> Cew27: no, i don't
[17:50] <cappiz> what is the module name for IA32 emulation called?
[17:50] <mjw-> monzie unfortunately i don't know much about the fglrx driver...someone might be able to help also if you paste the output of compiz --replace
[17:50] <HEP85> eyemean: can you access your hard disk from the livecd?
[17:51] <eyemean> hep85 my new drive is sata1 and my second drive is ide
[17:51] <Cew27> prince_jammys: oh ok
[17:51] <prince_jammys> foormea hold on - do you want to change the partition permissions or the permissions of individual files inside?
[17:51] <eyemean> hep85 will install ntfs first
[17:51] <foormea> prince_jammys individual files
[17:51] <arashOio> hi, gprted cannot located any file systems, I wanna retrieve my data in my hard drive...
[17:51] <brunner> IdleOne: Sorry, I'm just trying to disguise my cranky mood as being constructive, not trying to actually be helpful
[17:51] <hakon_> Pici: Did you die?
[17:52] <monzie> mjw-: http://pastebin.ca/904046
[17:52] <Aphh> Does anyone know a reason why a previously ext2 filesystem I copied 90 gigs worth of files on and had "du -sh" run successfully would become unmountable?
[17:52] <prince_jammys> foormea oh ok because i do know how to change the partition permissions
[17:52] <Pici> hakon_: not yet, just thinking.
[17:52] <danbhfive> !guidelines > Zombine I think this message somewhat answers your question
[17:52] <dar-soul> hey guyz
[17:52] <dar-soul> need some help please
[17:52] <IdleOne> brunner, lol and still you mannaged to be helpful
[17:52] <dar-soul> i cant get amork or streamtuner to play anything
[17:52] <foormea> prince_jammys well basically i'd need a unix permission-able ntfs partition :D but apparently that's just not possible
[17:52] <pike_> Aphh: fsck corrects it?
[17:52] <Aphh> Let me see.
[17:52] <Bodsda> dar-soul, why not? error messages?
[17:52] <dar-soul> I think I have installed all the reuired codecs!
[17:53] <brunner> you guys are way too nice/tolerant here... I miss the old #debian attitude, "OMG RTFM! RTFM!!"
[17:53] <mjw-> monzie  sudo apt-get install xgl-server
[17:53] <dar-soul> amaroke is giving me no demux plugin
[17:53] <HEP85> eyemean: The problem is that the system always boots from the first drive. so we must install grub onto the new drive
[17:53] <hakon_> Pici: I used to have the same problem in 6.06... Some guy in here told me to do something in terminal that enabled a lot of packages and fixed the problem
[17:53] <profoak> Can someone help me, vmware tries to install as an extra package whenever i try to install ANY program, it wont go away
[17:53] <Aphh> "Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks..." that doesn't look promising, heh.
[17:53] <mjw-> monzie then restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace - this will also close everything without saving) and try running compiz --replace again
[17:53] <Pici> hakon_: Did you try doing a sudo apt-get update and try again?
[17:54] <wng-> Does anyone know how to mute the laptop speakers when headphones are plugged in?
[17:54] <hakon_> Pici: no...
[17:54] <Pici> hakon_: I need to run off to a meeting now, so if that doesnt work, try asking the channel again.
[17:54] <Bodsda> dar-soul, i got that once,. closing amarok and reopening fixed it,.,.make sure you have all the gsrteamer plugins & codecs
[17:54] <dar-soul> strematune is runing xmms which gives an error and aske to cehck soundcard and if output plugin selected or any program that is blocking the sound
[17:54] <W8TAH> can someone please tell me -- is there a procedure for using multiple physical hard drives in ubuntu server, using LVM and if so - were can i find it
[17:54] <hakon_> Pici: ok
[17:54] <ubuntu_> hi
[17:54] <Bodsda> hi
[17:54] <eyemean> hep85 thats what i thought i did, but i guess not, haha, i can access my ntfs drives now
[17:55] <unperson> Hi.  I've been playing Enemy Territory on my Ubuntu Gusty machine, and now after I ran update the sound doesn't work (or rather, the old trick to make the sound work doesn't work).  Anyone know anything about this?
[17:55] <HEP85> eyemean: does grub show up and displays an error or does it not even appear?
[17:56] <eyemean> hep85 does not even apprear, it says it can boot and to please insert boot cd
[17:56] <eyemean> cant boot i mean hep85
[17:56] <dar-soul> Bodsda, can you tell me the codecs to install
[17:56] <dar-soul> ?
[17:56] <Bodsda> dar-soul, search synaptic for gstreamer
[17:56] <mjw-> monzie any luck?
[17:57] <Aphh> I wonder how long fsck takes on a 320 gig drive.
[17:57] <jonah> hey guys i get this when try get emerald themes:^[[Ajonah@jonah-eeepc:~$ svn ls http://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes

[17:58] <[chr0n0s]> gad0_, banshee? not sure tho
[17:58] <eyemean> hep85, sorry im not sure what u men im new to linux
[17:58] <danbhfive> profoak: have you tried sudo apt-get remove vmware   ?  maybe that will do something
[17:58] <HEP85> eyemean: it would be good if you could post the output from sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda and sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb so I know your partition setup
[17:59] <proairgun> in
[17:59] <Bodsda> eyemean, type exactly this into a terminal               sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda and sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[18:00] <Bodsda> HEP85, sorry for intruding on your convo, but he said he was a noob so i thought i'd elaborate a bit more
[18:00] <eyemean> whre can paste the output again hep58
[18:00] <PythonMan_> I get an error a bit now and then saying "this or that program, couldn't open audio, please check so no other program is blocking your sound device.", how do I check that?
[18:00] <Bodsda> !paste | eyemean
[18:00] <ubotu> eyemean: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[18:00] <HEP85> eyemean: www.pastebin.com
[18:00] <unperson> Does Ubuntu still use esd at the sound server?
[18:01] <eyemean> cheers bodsda and hep58
[18:01] <Bodsda> PythonMan_, close all programs using sound
[18:01] <Bodsda> ;~)
[18:01] <Arelis> Hi all. I have an ATI Radeon 9600 but performance in games is very low. I'm using the open-source radeon driver, but found out FGLRX may be causing a lot of instability issues. And I don't want that again. So how can i crank up the performance?
[18:01] <PythonMan_> Bodsda: Heh, but is there any related commands I should know?
[18:01] <mjw-> unperson my experience is that ALSA is now preferred
[18:01] <eyemean> http://pastebin.com/d5b9532fc hep58
[18:01] <eyemean> http://pastebin.com/d5b9532fc hep85
[18:02] <Bodsda> PythonMan_, i havent been following your problem,. but i remember something called hardwaremixing or audiomixing,.,.ask the channel about them,.,.it allows you to have more than 1 proram using the soundcard at the same time
[18:02] <adamb> Ok so I am using the restricted driver for my video card which has two monitor attached, only one monitor displays when I use restricted, when i dont I can see both monitor, but identical. not an extended.
[18:02] <HEP85> eyemean: now type sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
[18:02] <unperson> mjw-, Hmm...I thought alsa was a driver architecture not a sound server, but I don't know much about this stuff.
[18:02] <adamb> Anyone point me in right direction of getting my second monitor working?
[18:02] <mjw-> unperson neither do i :)
[18:02] <pike_> Arelis: im not sure about the 9600. ive heard the around 9200 is very good with the open source drivers but..ebay may be your best option

[18:03] <mjw-> adamb what's the result of lspci | grep -i vga  ?
[18:03] <fedaikin> !ru
[18:03] <Arelis> pike_, if i will need to buy a new video card, i'd buy a new computer anyways. But i don't have the money for that.
[18:03] <Bodsda> adamb, try asking in #compiz-fuision they'll probably know   (the last post was an arrow--pointing you--)
[18:03] <HEP85> eyemean: and then sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
[18:04] <adamb> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 042f (rev a1)
[18:04] <pike_> Arelis: an old nvidia would be like 10-15 bucks but i get your point
[18:04] <VeganZombie> is there anyway to tell if I have a port open and forwarded to my computer? I can't seem to connect to a certain port from my public IP address but can on my local network.
[18:05] <MasterShrak> vegan netstat should help ya
[18:05] <HEP85> eyemean: and to be on the safe side we will install grub also on the second disk: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb
[18:05] <mjw-> adamb: weird that it says unknown device, but this might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors
[18:05] <kikr> has anyone else noticed the problems with popups?
[18:05] <prince_jammys> VeganZombie: not sure but ports you're listening at:    netstat -a | grep LISTEN
[18:06] <bertvdp> hi, I'm using one of my PCs as a network file server, now I use FTP and SSH for filesharing at the moment but I would like to make it work better with mac and windows (and perhaps linux too), should I use smb, afl or nfs then ?
[18:06] <MasterShrak> kikr: in firefox im assuming?
[18:06] <VeganZombie> problem is the port I want to connect too is listening, but I can't connect to it.
[18:06] <kikr> MasterShrak, yeah
[18:06] <MasterShrak> bertvdp: samba
[18:06] <MasterShrak> kikr: i would install the adblock extension
[18:06] <bertvdp> MasterShrak, does mac work with samba too ?
[18:06] <eyemean> http://pastebin.com/d39c163e2 hep85
[18:06] <Arelis> pike_, what are the other options?
[18:07] <kikr> MasterShrak, i'm talking about the legit popups.
[18:07] <genii> adamb: 042f =Quadro NVS 290
[18:07] <MasterShrak> bertvdp: i believe so, you may need to install an extra piece of software on the mac client, but im not 100%
[18:07] <Cubitus> hi @ all.
[18:07] <Zvezdichko> is there software to capture my linux desktop on video?
[18:07] <adamb> gemi: yes thats what card I have
[18:07] <bertvdp> MasterShrak: and running samba and AFP or NFS at the same time, how would that go ?
[18:07] <MasterShrak> bertvdp: nvm, its looking like mac has a samba client built in
[18:07] <arcad3> sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop
[18:08] <HEP85> eyemean: last line should have been: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/hdb
[18:08] <adamb> i onyl see Screen 0, not a Screen 0 and 1, so its not detecting other monitor?  this is in nvidia-settings
[18:08] <Zvezdichko> thank you arcad3
[18:08] <prince_jammys> Zvezdichko: recordmydesktop
[18:08] <arcad3> np
[18:08] <MasterShrak> bertvdp: i dont know what afp is, but i dont think running samba and nfs will cause problems
[18:08] <eyemean> ok hep85 so i just do sudo grub-install now?
[18:08] <HEP85> eyemean: yes only with hdb instead at the end
[18:09] <bertvdp> MasterShrak, AFP is apple file protocol (which has been reverse engineerd to work for linux)
[18:09] <MasterShrak> adamb: is there a button that says "Detect Displays" ?
[18:09] <eyemean> ok hep85
[18:09] <mark4> ok so how do i start compiz-fusion in this fresh ubuntu install i got here. i tried compiz --replace ccp & but it didnt work
[18:09] <MasterShrak> bertvdp: ic, well i would just run samba, itll eb able to talk to windows and mac, no need for nfs or afp
[18:09] <HEP85> eyemean: after that grub should at least show up. maybe we still have the wrong partition order
[18:09] <Cubitus> now i have a toshiba satellite notebook with a intel graphic chip. sometimes, ubuntu freezes and I have to hard-reset my notebook. My question is: why is the intel graphic chip /gm965 / gl960 on the compiz blacklist? does intel not work on these drivers?
[18:09] <bertvdp> MasterShrak, okey thanks, I'll get some info from !samba then :P
[18:09] <bertvdp> !samba
[18:09] <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.

[18:12] <Aphh> pike_: fsck fixed a TON of problems on this filesystem. I don't know if my files are worth checking out, but I can mount it, at least. Thanks a lot, man.
[18:12] <macogw> oiZo: when you drag a directory from the main part into the left part of Nautilus (the file browser) it automatically gets added to the Places Menu
[18:13] <MasterShrak> oiZo: also if you add things as a bookmark from nautilus, if i remember correctly (not a gnome user)
[18:13] <oiZo> well can i remove e.g. the Connect to server menu?

[18:14] <neimodjee> is there a way to disable this behavior?

[18:15] <penyaskito> thanks bertvdp, MasterShrak
[18:15] <kashogi> anyone help i need help adding user on ubuntu
[18:15] <MasterShrak> penyaskito: assuming it gets recognized by the livecd, you should be able to just install to it, ubuntu wouldnt even know its a raid afaik

[18:16] <Daenyth|Work> Hi, I'm going to be installing ubuntu for a student on his laptop, and it's going to be dual-booting with winxp home. I've done that before, but he also requested that I install armenian and russian fonts/dictionaries, etc, and I was wondering what kind of support there was for that, and if there were any guides on localization available
[18:16] <penyaskito> MasterShrak: the problem is that the cd sees the two disks, not the raid itself
[18:16] <jappdev> kashogi: are you verifing users based on their local account?
[18:16] <bertvdp> kashogi, what's your exact problem
[18:16] <MasterShrak> hakon_: have you enabled the universe repository?
[18:16] <hakon_> MasterShrak: yes
[18:16] <xo-tux> hi
[18:16] <MasterShrak> penyaskito: interesting, im assuming the raid controller has a bios, have you poked around in there at all?
[18:16] <bertvdp> Daenyth|Work, ubuntu-ru I think
[18:16] <MasterShrak> hakon_: what exactly is the error it is throwing at you?
[18:16] <dar-soul> one more question! can somone suggest to me whats the name of couple nice looking menus for gnome
[18:17] <dar-soul> liek suse uses or somting similiar
[18:17] <Muhammad_Saad> is there a channel for Linux drivers?
[18:17] <penyaskito> MasterShrek: the raid is enabled in the BIOS, but still seeing the two disks
[18:17] <Daenyth|Work> bertvdp: a channel? ok
[18:17] <MasterShrak> Muhammad_Saad: #linux    maybe
[18:17] <jappdev> kashogi: man useradd
[18:17] <hakon_> MasterShrak: one sec
[18:18] <bertvdp> dar-soul, suse just costumises the menu, but if you're searching for a specific menu, try tombuntu's website (I think it's tombuntu.org)
[18:18] <eyemean> hi hep85, wen i select windows it says starting up and nothing ahppens
[18:18] <MasterShrak> penyaskito: weird, i dont have much experience with raids, and no experience with hardware raids, but i would assume if it was set up to be a raid on hardware, that ubuntu wouldnt have to worry about it
[18:18] <wirechief4> identify silvermachine4

[18:24] <adamb> Is there a way i can have wallpaper on my main monitor that doesn't span across both monitors?

[18:25] <profoak> How do you relink something to command, im getting a error and it says relink libpcrecpp.la with the above command, i don't know what its talking about
[18:25] <adamb> pike: well yeah, that would work possibly.. I just want a normal size wallpaper on my main monitor..
[18:25] <mikebot> I guess it would be gnome, not ubuntu.
[18:25] <adamb> bertvdp: : hahah
[18:25] <bofh80> ehm, rather "i CAN mount the drive and read write to it fine..."
[18:25] <baseline> hi, how can i see who is on my apache?

[18:45] <MasterShrak> fiXXXingRAID: you can put   modproeb bnx2   in /etc/rc.local
[18:45] <fiXXXingRAID> Thank you MasterShrak
[18:45] <wng-> pro-rsoft, only Caller ID and Off-Hook can be toggled, neither of which control headphones or laptop speakers
[18:46] <MasterShrak> fiXXXingRAID: maek sure its executeable too though: sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local
[18:46] <salik> i've a question-newbie here... is there a way  i can install kubuntu, xubuntu, and any other variants that i want to @ hav an option @ boot up to switch to whatever i want to?

[18:46] <wng-> pro-rsoft, alright, thanks
[18:47] <MasterShrak> salik: you choos from your login manager, click sessions and choose your desktop environment
[18:47] <MasterShrak> salik: to isntall for example kubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[18:47] <MasterShrak> xubuntu is xubuntu-desktop

[18:48] <HEP85> eyemean: no what partition?
[18:49] <MasterShrak> salik: yes, gnome, kde, xfce, fluxbox, etc are all just desktop environments, everything is still the same "under the hood"
[18:49] <eyemean> thats what it says wen i select ubuntu in grub hep85
[18:49] <Veeger1> wng-: I understood you had to rebuild the alsa drivers from source

[18:59] <viclim> MasterShrak: he said first partition not first hdd

[19:50] <neverblue> rasel, english only, sorry
[19:50] <wng-> Veeger1, thanks a lot for your help earlier, for some reason the version you recommended worked perfectly
[19:50] <crf> anyway, I was trying to figure out how to change the icon of a item on my desktop, and in the help, it says that in the preferences of the item in nautilus, I should be able to click on the icon
[19:50] <wng-> now I have seperate channels for laptop speakers and headphones
[19:50] <Veeger1> wng-: Totally great news
[19:50] <Cew27> joi/join #ubuntuforums
[19:50] <Veeger1> wng-: So sorry for the confusion
[19:50] <rasel> ICQ433679717
[19:50] <crf> and it should put up a dialog to select a new icon.
[19:50] <neverblue> feysalus, not sure what else to change
[19:50] <crf> But it doesn't work.
[19:51] <wng-> Veeger1, I just wonder why the newer version didnt work at all
[19:51] <crf> Nothing happens when I click the icon.
[19:51] <Veeger1> wng-: I really should have told you which version I used
[19:51] <chazco> How can I force an fsck to run (to prevent it occurring later when on battery)?
[19:51] <neverblue> crf, so you want to select a new icon?
[19:51] <dosyl> Is someon can help me to be able to print from Windows 98 ans XP on my printer on Ubuntu?
[19:51] <crf> yes
[19:51] <wng-> Veeger1, by the way, theres no special lines in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[19:51] <Veeger1> wng-: From what I understand.. which is very little.. it has something to do with version mismatch on the mixer
[19:51] <rasel> HELP '<
[19:51] <Pici> chazco: sudo touch /forcefsck and then reboot.
[19:52] <neverblue> crf right click then select properties
[19:52] <chazco> Ah thanks Pici ... was hoping Ubuntu was be good enough to detect the battery and skip, but nope.
[19:52] <Veeger1> wng-: So glad you got it going
[19:52] <silent> hey guys, it's valentine's day... in a linux channel
[19:52] <arnath01>  if i try to add a new style to openoffice, it works initially but if i shut down openoffice and restart it, the custom style is gone? - i ask here because i think it may be some sort of permission issue?
[19:52] <Veeger1> wng-: Have a great day
[19:52] <wng-> Veeger1, me too, that's a deal-breaker on my end
[19:52] <wng-> Veeger1, thanks a lot :)

[19:54] <crf> right-click --> properties of the item on my desktop
[19:55] <crf> Then it says you're supposed to be able to select the icon.
[19:55] <chazco> Pici - how can I force a full check on a drive that isnt present at boot time? I dont think its ever been checked :)
[19:55] <crf> But that doesn't work for me
[19:55] <fyksen> Can somebody help me? I want to rezise many picture, and make them smaller for web and mailing, but i dont want to open one and one and make them smaller (gimp) is there a program who can rezise many picture? Need guid : ) Sry for the english : )

[19:56] <chazco> Pici - Its a truecrypt volume... when I unmount it it ceases the be a device...
[19:56] <Pici> chazco: oh.  I'm not really sure how you would go about doing that.

[20:16] <silent> Stevethepirate, I'd compile from source, if you're comfortable with it
[20:16] <danbhfive> feysalus: maybe you could setup a chroot or something
[20:16] <Stevethepirate> silent: Like, its on latest version already.
[20:16] <silent> Stevethepirate, the latest version in apt, or from the alsa website?
[20:16] <Stevethepirate> In apt.
[20:17] <sxealex_> does anyone know how to disable the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 method of xauth?
[20:17] <sxealex_> im trying to be able to run applications from another user on a remote  machine that use the xdisplay
[20:17] <silent> Stevethepirate, get the latest source from alsaproject and build alsa

[20:17] <Stevethepirate> silent: So you recommend i install from alsa
[20:17] <Stevethepirate> okay.

[20:20] <ooblez> would someone mind helping?:)
[20:20] <Stevethepirate> silent: Will i need to restart after compiling from source?

[20:23] <sirius-black> silent, what was the package-install command again, i thought it was "sumo apt-get install <package name>" but i have the feeling sumo is wrong XD as it gives the error "bash: sumo: command not found"

[20:29] <Veeger1> np
[20:29] <silent> get build-essential too, you'll need it to compile
[20:29] <yorkedork> Veeger1/Stevethepirate: you'll need a ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-codec=hda-intel-(type of your chipset)
[20:29] <Odd-rationale> Gremzilla: startx
[20:29] <Gremzilla> thanks!
[20:29] <Stevethepirate> okay
[20:30] <silent> yorkedork, is that required or does alsa autodetect? it's fairly good these days
[20:30] <tanath> if i switch from compiz to metacity while running epiphany, epiphany crashes
[20:30] <Odd-rationale> Gremzilla: or gdm
[20:30] <silent> tanath, don't switch to compiz
[20:30] <|_James_Bond_|> !pt
[20:30] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[20:30] <yorkedork> silent: i couldn't be absolutely positive, but a friend had a realtek in an nvidia 7050 that needed the hint
[20:30] <tanath> silent, from compiz, not to. but why not?
[20:30] <o7andrew> oh
[20:30] <yorkedork> silent: (it wouldn't work with 1.0.14/15 whatever 7.10 defaults to atm)
[20:31] <silent> tanath, stick to one , it's better
[20:31] <silent> WM*
[20:31] <tanath> silent, not really
[20:31] <Veeger1> yorkedork: What is the chipset type for that card?
[20:31] <gaten> is there anyway to start gdm from a windows machine using ssh and putty? mydesktop is logged out at home and I want to VNC in
[20:31] <sirius-black> ph0rensic: how exactly are you supposed to set up the synthesizer in ubuntustudio?
[20:32] <silent> tanath, you're right, switching between window managers is effective computing
[20:32] <o7andrew> oh yeah
[20:32] <tanath> silent, i vastly prefer compiz, but certain things don't work well with it running, so i temporarily switch to metacity and back
[20:32] <bardyr> gaten, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[20:32] <pike_> gaten: if you have a win32 version of sh or bash shell itd be pretty easy
[20:32] <yorkedork> Veeger1: realtek alc883
[20:32] <silent> tanath, bleh
[20:32] <silent> compiz...
[20:32] <tanath> silent, i said nothing about 'effective computing'. you said 'better' which is entirely subjective
[20:32] <Veeger1> yorkedork: So his full command line would be?
[20:32] <pike_> gaten: i thought you wanted to automate it bardyr's command will work manually
 metacity --replace
[20:32] <silent> tanath, which is better effective or ineffective computing?
[20:32] <gad0> is their a way I can remove automount of all my partitions automatically at bootup ?
[20:32] <ogre> !moto4lin
[20:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about moto4lin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:33] <tanath> solar_george, that's what i use
[20:33] <silent> in b4 "hay thats rhetorical"
[20:33] <yorkedork> Veeger1: my friends? ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-codec=hda-intel-realtek && make && sudo make install
[20:33] <tanath> silent, what's better is when bugs are fixed. what's effective for me would be for epiphany not to crash
[20:33] <Veeger1> yorkedork: thanks
[20:33] <bender1337> does ubuntu have the serial_cs driver?
[20:33] <o7andrew> silent: sometimes this is just a toy and eye-candy is cool
[20:34] <silent> o7andrew, toys break
[20:34] <yorkedork> Veeger1: the codec should vary on hardware type
[20:34] <gaten> pike_: i should have phrased the qustion differnt. GDM is already started, but im not logged in at home. i need to login to my desktop remotely in order to VNC in
[20:34] <o7andrew> ouch>yes,fully> tanath that is epiphany's fault not the window manager i bet
 try another window manager just to see if it has the same prob
[20:34] <yorkedork> Veeger1: depending on the actual manufacturer of the hardware - they're all built to "intel hda" spec, but i imagine they need quirks, etc.
[20:34] <pike_> gaten: you need to start vncserver?
[20:34] <Veeger1> yorkedork: Where do you pull that out of the existing system lspci or lshw with a grep ?
[20:35] <tanath> o7andrew, yeah, i never said it was a problem with the WM
[20:35] <Veeger1> yorkedork: Agreed.. compatible  ...
[20:35] <matholum> hello everyone, i have a qwik question... I am using mono and I would like to create/open an word file much like using the microsoft word com object in windows. Is there a library to use for open office?
[20:35] <intarwebz> hey all, i have a pxe server setup but the clients don't seem to have PXE (even though they have network boot options)--is it possible to add PXE to a bios?  does anybody have advice or experience regarding this?
[20:36] <tanath> solar_george, hrm.. any recommendations? i'm running gnome, and would prefer not to have to reload the panel and all that
[20:36] <o7andrew> i'd just bug-report, 'cos it'll be low-end code won't it? >noob<
[20:36] <eyemean> is there anyone who is an expert with grub pls?
[20:36] <gaten> pike_: no, i need to login to my gnome desktop remotely.
[20:36] <yorkedork> Veeger1: umm ... an lspci -v | grep Audio maybe; i'm not sure what you're asking
[20:36] <gwork> gaten: you really need to login to your desktop, or will another X-session over an ssh wire suffice as well?
[20:36] <tanath> solar_george, i honestly forget which other WMs i have. it's been so long since i've used them
[20:37] <gaten> gwork: desktop. i want to run a vnc session. im already on my machine via ssh
[20:37] <pike_> gaten: ok if you want a seperate session you just run vncserver but if you need to login to your current display you can: ssh in and vncserver :0.0   <-- i think then just run your vncclient to connect
[20:37] <gaten> gwork: and im on a windows machine that i dont have admin rights to, so i dont see how i could get an Xsession (unless you have a trick i havent heard iof)
[20:38] <sirius-black> hmm
[20:38] <sirius-black> what the hell?
[20:38] <bender1337> does ubuntu have the serial_cs driver?
[20:38] <sirius-black> i used this command: sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-*
[20:38] <eyemean> grub expert?
[20:38] <gwork> gaten: take pike_'s advice i guess. my trick would be to use xming with putty under windows.
 how about oroborus - you won't have to reload gnome or anything WM's are interchangable
[20:39] <sirius-black> and it installed all music programs and video programs there are
[20:39] <Baptiste> hello
[20:39] <sirius-black> in ubuntu
[20:39] <gaten> gwork: does that need to be installed or can it be run as a standalone?
[20:40] <Xbehave> is there an ap to view/edit my bios?
[20:40] <gwork> gaten: even from usb stick, once extracted..  i do it all the time... (especially with a portable putty)
[20:40] <Baptiste> I remember of a software which creates stylistic pictures, sort of waves in 3D, that remind apple's wallpapers... does someone know its name?
[20:40] <chimericalbrio> hey guys, i'm having trouble with bash right now, i'm logged into my box over ssh and whenever i start screen and try to use the backspace key, i get a wuff wuff message. how do i stop this?
[20:40] <chimericalbrio> i tried setting term=screen
[20:41] <chimericalbrio> i'm using mac os x's terminal, and backspace works fine all the time except in screen over ssh
[20:41] <gaten> gwork: nice. faster than VNC? i'm going to check this out
[20:41] <Veeger1> yorkedork: What I would like to know is.. where to get what is put after the --with-codec=  from a users system
[20:41] <kriel> any suggestions on how to check an old drive? I've got half a dozen old, salvaged hard drives that I've no idea if they're good or bad. I'd like to check them without installing and then fsck'ing. (seems the long way, too much time) ... Any other suggestions?
[20:42] <gwork> gaten: faster.. i can't tell. for one window: sure, but if your gimping: it's slow
[20:42] <bender1337> does ubuntu have the serial_cs driver?
[20:42] <arbogast> coment ke c
[20:42] <lyakh> hi, can anyone disclose the secret - how does ubuntu 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22) manage to boot on my core2duo, where debian and stock kernels hang on acpi?
[20:42] <Spencerical> arbogast: which language is that?
[20:42] <yorkedork> well, what's the output of lspci?
[20:43] <Vorbote>  /msg ubotu etiquette
[20:43] <tanath> solar_george, oroborus doesn't have a replace feature
[20:43] <yorkedork> Veeger1: sometimes you'll be able to tell from reported info, sometimes you'll have to look at the physical chip to know the actual hardware. and then, it's a matter of knowing the mapping between the hardware and the alsa codec config options
[20:43] <tanath> solar_george, seems a lot of WMs don't
[20:43] <gaten> gwork: right. thanks for the tip
[20:44] <yorkedork> Veeger1: i might be able to tell you which to use if you can paste the output of lspci -v

[20:49] <Stevethepirate> pmratpoison: Well, theres no command to do that
[20:49] <Stevethepirate> sirius-black: No.
[20:49] <Stevethepirate> the 'Trash' is really a folder.
[20:49] <Stevethepirate> Just as in windows.
[20:49] <Stevethepirate> If you want to permanently delete it
[20:49] <Stevethepirate> rm file

[20:50] <Stevethepirate> its like, mv file ~/.trash

[20:50] <Stevethepirate> visualdensity: Since i updated to hardy.
[20:50] <visualdensity> Stevethepirate: how did you fix it?
[20:50] <Stevethepirate> visualdensity: I went back to gutsy :P
[20:50] <pmratpoison> and what is the equivalent of " > " but not for standard out, but for error msgs?
[20:51] <Stevethepirate> cat
[20:51] <Stevethepirate> cat ./script file.out
[20:51] <Stevethepirate> or you could

[20:51] <visualdensity> Stevethepirate: hmm.. unfortunately, i AM on gutsy. :-S
[20:51] <clubs> I have no sound.
[20:51] <pmratpoison> > makes the standard output
[20:51] <pmratpoison> I think there is another operator for error output

[20:52] <Stevethepirate> visualdensity: np
[20:52] <Stevethepirate> hope u fix ur problem.
[20:52] <centrex> pmratpoison, instead of >, use 2>
[20:53] <Villano> I have a postfix/Courier-POP3 installed and running in a Local Network. Everything goes fine for now. But now, I want to use the usernames from an Active Directory Server as mailboxes
[20:53] <pmratpoison> centrex thnx!
[20:53] <Villano> ...........
[20:53] <visualdensity> Stevethepirate: I hope so too. If not, I'll just reinstall
[20:53] <sxealex_> anyone know anything about MIT MAGIC COOKIES?
[20:53] <Stevethepirate> visualdensity: Sigh.
[20:53] <hdevalence> where do I set the text that shows at login? Not the MOTD, but the text shown before login
[20:53] <Stevethepirate> I had to :(
[20:53] <anoym2000> no
[20:53] <tanath> solar_george, oh, wait. icewm-lite.. apparently has no taskbar.. i can try that :)
[20:53] <visualdensity> Stevethepirate: sh*t happens. ;) thanks again. appreciate it
[20:53] <Stevethepirate> visualdensity: mp
[20:53] <Stevethepirate> *np
[20:53] <Villano> Any idea ?  Anyone ?
[20:54] <sxealex_> im not hungry and dont wanna have a magic cookie
[20:54] <sxealex_> can anyone help me
[20:54] <sxealex_> o.O
[20:54] <erUSUL> sxealex_: can you give any context?
[20:54] <david> argh :B OpenPGP doesn't quite work as I'd like it to ;)
[20:55] <david> "pub" key seems to be private
[20:55] <sxealex_> i have a php scrip that runs an app
[20:55] <sxealex_> as sudo
[20:55] <sxealex_> i had it working fine yesterday
[20:56] <sxealex_> DISPLAY=:0 app
[20:56] <pmratpoison> if the contents of a folder are just empty folders, it it considered empty? (i.e. will rmdir erase it?)
[20:56] <sxealex_> now it says MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
[20:56] <erUSUL> pmratpoison: do not think so but never tried
[20:56] <sxealex_> invalid
[20:56] <pmratpoison> guess trial & error time
 openbox? - I'm just guessing here
[20:57] <erUSUL> pmratpoison: but rmdir has the -p option analog to the one for mkdir ;)
[20:57] <tanath> solar_george, no, icewm-lite is good
[20:57] <sxealex_> .Xauthority files dont seem to work and was hoping to diable them completely since it doesnt need to be a secure system
[20:57] <tanath> solar_george, i've switched from metacity to ice without prob, and ice to compiz without prob, now about to try compiz to metacity again
 does that fix it then i.e. epiphany
[20:57] <Vorbote> pmratpoison: no, because each empty folder inside the top folder make it full. to erase a folder with any contents you need the -r flag (and the -f flag if the permissions are restrictive).
[20:58] <pmratpoison> well, all I want to do is erase all the empty subfolders of a folder and those subfolders that have empty subfolders themselves
[20:59] <tanath> solar_george, hmm... switching to metacity this time didn't crash it
[20:59] <pmratpoison> so unless I use find I can't do -r, as Vorbote suggested
[20:59] <Vorbote> pmratpoison: in principe rm -r would be enough.
[20:59] <sxealex_> erUSUL: no clue?
[20:59] <Vorbote> pmratpoison: use rm
[20:59] <pmratpoison> yeah, but that would delete full folders as well
[21:00] <Vorbote> pmratpoison: rmdir only works on truly empty directories
[21:00] <sxealex_> <:(
[21:00] <erUSUL> sxealex_: no sorry
[21:00] <sxealex_> its ok
[21:00] <sxealex_> thanks
[21:00] <tanath> solar_george, maybe it's because i went from compiz, to metacity, to icewm, to compiz, to metacity, lol
[21:00]  * sxealex_ nods
[21:00] <Vorbote> pmratpoison: remeber that in UNIX and POSIX OSs (like Linux), everything is a file, even a directory inside a directory.
[21:00] <pmratpoison> so how would you do that? delete all the empty subfolders and subfolders that only contain empty subfolders with a single command ?
[21:01] <sanozuke> hello
 random things happen - things never make sense
[21:01] <Ermok> hi
[21:01] <sanozuke> ubuntu
[21:01] <sanozuke> hi
[21:02] <Joetheodd> Happy valentines day everyone.
[21:02] <tanath> solar_george, i seem to be having a lot of stability issues with epiphany though :/
[21:02] <Odd-rationale> !hello | sanozuke
[21:02] <ubotu> sanozuke: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[21:02] <sxealex_> pmratpoison: rm -rf directory
[21:02] <xthegoat121x> So, I read somewhere that it is possible to have direct rendering with an ATI v.c. without using XGL.. how?
[21:02] <tanath> solar_george, oh, everything makes sense... it's just a matter of whether we understand it or not :P
[21:02] <mark4> is there a way to set the size of icons on the desktop?
[21:02] <djp_> How can I remove the Ubuntu logo and replace with the gnome footprint?
[21:02] <sanozuke> i got ubuntu
[21:02] <bardyr> xthegoat121x, using the latest drivers
[21:02] <sanozuke> 5.10
[21:02] <Flannel> pmratpoison: rmdir could.  but you have to start at a bottom folder with -p (it only deletes empty ones)
[21:02] <sanozuke> i got ubuntu 5.10
[21:02] <mark4> they are kinda huge
[21:02] <Odd-rationale> sanozuke: Good for you.
[21:02] <dogmeat> i'm over here crying right now.
[21:02] <sanozuke> no
[21:02] <scjp_> does anybody install oracle on ubuntu ?
[21:03] <tanath> sanozuke, you could use an upgrade
 I don't use epiphany
[21:03] <Cpudan80> !oracle | scjp_
[21:03] <ubotu> scjp_: If you -must- install oracle .... here's a good place to start: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html
[21:03] <Flannel> sanozuke: If you can, you should upgrade to 6.06.
[21:03] <dogmeat> tears, just streaming down my cheeks
[21:03] <sanozuke> oracle
[21:03] <christian__> hi! can anybody help me with a strange login problem? sometimes i don't get any nautilus desktop, the system works fine... but to get the desktop working again I need to do a sudo init 1 and after sudo init 5 to get everything right...
[21:03] <sanozuke> i want xubuntu
[21:03] <pmratpoison> sxealex_ not really, that would delete the full folders as well, I want to keep them
[21:03] <scjp_> thank you Cpudan80
[21:03] <Odd-rationale> sanozuke: do sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop
[21:03] <Cpudan80> scjp_: No idea if that actually works
[21:03] <xthegoat121x> bardyr, ok... well the question is, I'm using the Restricted Drivers, should I be using something different?  B/C when I look at my list of running apps, I see XGL in the list, and boy does it eat memory.
[21:03] <sanozuke> i have a cd with ubuntu 5.10
[21:03] <tanath> sanozuke, it's basically ubuntu with xcfe installed. you can do that yourself if you like
[21:03] <sxealex_> oh only empty ones?
[21:04] <Flannel> sanozuke: Getting xubuntu is as easy as installing xubuntu-desktop, but since you're using an old version (that isn't supported anymore), you'll need to change to a working repository
[21:04] <sanozuke> ok
[21:04] <tanath> solar_george, it's become my main browser, over firefox even
[21:04] <sxealex_> pmratpoison: i think you need an sh script for that
[21:04] <Flannel> sanozuke: If you haven't installed yet, you ought to download a new version.  And you should obviously get a xubuntu CD
[21:04] <bardyr> xthegoat121x, well i guess you need to wait to hardy is released or download the newest drivers from ati.com and install them manually
 hope it sorts itself out then
[21:04] <tanath> solar_george, largely because it's fast and leightweight, and does several of the things i liked about firefox
[21:04] <pmratpoison> I guess
[21:04] <tanath> solar_george, hrm, indeed
[21:05] <xthegoat121x> bardyr, all right.
[21:05] <scjp_> okie it means in that in this channel 1218 peoples and no body use oracle that  great
[21:05] <catarinajob> hi
[21:05] <sanozuke> i made a xubuntu cd
[21:05] <catarinajob> hii !
[21:05] <Odd-rationale> tanath: Isn't firefox one of epiphany's dependencies?
[21:05] <silverblade> using nothing but cardboard tubes and glue?
[21:05] <sanozuke> what is ephifany
[21:06] <tanath> Odd-rationale, i don't believe so. it uses the gecko engine, but i don't think it's dependant
[21:06] <tanath> sanozuke, a web browser
[21:06] <tanath> sanozuke, designed for gnome
[21:06] <jappdev> !epiphany
[21:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about epiphany - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:06] <sanozuke> i tought it was a literal figure
[21:06] <tanath> !epiphany-browser
[21:07] <Odd-rationale> tanath: Last time I tried installing epiphany from a CLI system, it wanted to install ff along with it. Do you have ff installed rioght now?
[21:07] <tanath> Odd-rationale, i do...
[21:07] <tanath> Odd-rationale, i still use it once in a while. lemme check the dependencies
[21:07] <Odd-rationale> tanath: OK That makes sense.
[21:08] <sanozuke> does anyone know how to make a boot cd in xp to erase ubuntu and install xubuntu from a cd
[21:08] <Flannel> sanozuke: You just need to download/burn a xubuntu CD
[21:08] <mjw-> !burb | sanozuke
[21:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about burb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:08] <mjw-> !burn | sanozuke
[21:08] <Odd-rationale> sanozuke: Download the xubuntu iso from xubuntu.org. burn it to a cd and boot and then install.
[21:08] <ubotu> sanozuke: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[21:08] <tanath> Odd-rationale, you're right.. it does depend on firefox
[21:08] <mark4> is there a way to change the size of icons on my desktop? its like i can fit six ina vertical line and ive filled up that column
[21:08] <bardyr> sanozuke, boot into ubuntu, download the iso, right click on it and click burn to cd
[21:09] <Flannel> sanozuke: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install has instructions (the four at the top) just make sure you get a xubuntu iso
[21:09] <Ender> alright, so, i'm having an installation issue with ubuntu
[21:09] <sanozuke> yes
[21:09] <Odd-rationale> tanath: I think that is rather odd.
[21:09] <mark4> i would prefer about 1/8 the size of icons if i can have it
[21:09] <Flannel> I'm sorry.  sanozuke: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[21:09] <jappdev> sanozuke: http://www.xubuntu.org/get
[21:09] <tanath> Odd-rationale, indeed...
[21:09] <sanozuke> but ubuntu doens't desapear
[21:09] <bofh80> mark4, yes, right click on them, and hit Stretch Icon, can make it bigger or smaller
 <Odd-rationale> the ubuntu epiphany uses the ff gui engine (XUL) as well as geko
[21:10] <javb> i used to click on desktop and all my sticky notes in gnome used to hide. Now, the dont and i have to rigth click on 'sticky notes icon' and then click on 'hide notes' .. any idea of how to put this back ?
[21:10] <Odd-rationale> tanath: For a light-weight gtk+ web browser, I'd go with kazehakase.
[21:10] <Flannel> sanozuke: Once you install xubuntu overtop of ubuntu, Ubuntu will disappear (of course, Xubuntu is still Ubuntu, but thats not what you mean)
[21:10] <sanozuke> ! boot cd
[21:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about boot cd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:10] <mark4> erm right click on theme where?
[21:10] <Ender> can anyone tell me why ubuntu would hang during installation (using a live cd), when my system has 2 gb of ram?
[21:10] <duncanm> who's in charge of the backports?
[21:10] <bofh80> mark4, no, right click on the icons you want to resize and you can hit stretch icon i will check for desktop settings in a sec
[21:11] <Odd-rationale> tanath: Doesn't seem to make sense to me to make a broswer simply depend on another web browser...
[21:11] <sxealex_> pmra
[21:11] <rpj8> Hey guys. I downloaded the Firefox3 beta 3, extreacted it, and tried to create a symbolic link to it in /usr/local/bin . However, when trying to run /usr/loca/bin/firefox, I get '-bash: /usr/local/bin/firefox: No such file or directory
[21:11] <Flannel> duncanm: the backports team.  #ubuntu-backports
[21:11] <sxealex_> oops
[21:11] <Che-Anarc> If Direct Rendering is not enabled after install... should I try enabling it somehow?... or does it just mean that there are no appropriate drivers for my system?
[21:11] <tanath> Odd-rationale, japanese, eh? explains the name
[21:11] <pike_> Ender: might try alternate install cd or could be an issue with cdrom
[21:11] <mark4> err no. how do i set the DEFAULT.  i dont want to have to go thru every single icon every time i put it on my desk and MAYBE get them all the same size
[21:11] <Ender> i checked it for errors, came up clean
[21:11] <tanath> Odd-rationale, yeah. i guess they're only so far in development?
[21:11] <mjw-> Che-Anarc: what does lspci | grep -i vga   return?
[21:11] <Ender> ran a memtest
[21:11] <sxealex_> commands
[21:11] <sxealex_> fi
[21:12] <mark4> yea thats just modifying ONE icon. how do i set the default for ALL icons
[21:12] <bofh80> mark4, i'm lookin, but generally speakin, none of my icons are the same size lol
[21:12] <Ender> everything shows up green, but it sticks on 15%
[21:12] <Odd-rationale> tanath: I guess so...
[21:12] <mark4> also, the virtual size of the icon did not change so all i did was shrink its size and i STILL have room for only 6 icons per column
 if ubuntu built against XULrunner instead of XUL that wouldn't be the case any more
[21:13] <tanath> solar_george, sounds good. perhaps they ought to do that then
[21:13] <Che-Anarc> mjw- VGA Comptable controller: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC rev 4
[21:13] <tanath> Odd-rationale, does kazawhatitsface support quicksearch bookmarks?
[21:13] <Ender> do you think it would be an issue that i'm trying to install to a usb external hard drive?
[21:14] <mark4> erm keep aligned keeps them aligned to the same column but actually i can misallign icons on a horizontal
[21:14] <tanath> Odd-rationale, and any sort of adblock extension?
[21:14] <christian__> hi! can anybody help me with a strange login problem? sometimes i don't get any nautilus desktop, the system works fine... but to get the desktop working again I need to do a sudo init 1 and after sudo init 5 to get everything right.. I think it depends on the network manager applet, but not sure :-(((
 it has lead to epiphany calling itself ff as well
[21:14] <Odd-rationale> tanath: Don't know. Sorry. Try it. You can always apt-get remove.
[21:14] <Aline> oi
[21:14] <mjw-> Che-Anarc use a pastebin to paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf  so I can see it
[21:15] <tanath> Odd-rationale, oooh, awesome. it goes one better
[21:15] <Odd-rationale> tanath: No adblock plugin. Fortunately, there are other ways to do it.
[21:15] <tanath> Odd-rationale, support for regex. also has mouse gestures :)
[21:15] <tanath> Odd-rationale, such as?
[21:15] <tanath> Odd-rationale, i don't want to filter through privoxy again... :/
[21:15] <Odd-rationale> tanath: Privoxy or custom /etc/hosts file.
[21:15] <jonkri> i have a problem with my hard-drive, and i'm afraid i've lost all the contents... :'( this is what dmesg says: http://rafb.net/p/oT0Bq888.html
[21:16] <christian__> is there any way to see why nautilus sometimes does not start and sometimes it does after login???
[21:16] <Odd-rationale> tanath: I personally use the latter.
[21:16] <tanath> Odd-rationale, oh, the hosts file is a definite no no, lol
[21:16] <jonkri> is there any software that can help me?
[21:16] <tanath> Odd-rationale, waste of memory, and not customizable enough
[21:16] <tanath> Odd-rationale, i'd rather use privoxy
[21:17] <tanath> Odd-rationale, thanks for the recommends though
[21:17] <Odd-rationale> tanath: np. In linux, you always have a choice. :)
[21:17] <Didot> i always can't enter to irc.dal.net why/
[21:17] <catarinajob> hi !
[21:17] <catarinajob> i have a questios
[21:18] <catarinajob> question
[21:18] <catarinajob> my messenger is a bit confuse
 <Odd-rationale> and if you break it you get to keep both pieces
[21:18] <tanath> solar_george, lol
[21:18] <catarinajob> i use pidgin internet messenger
[21:18] <Odd-rationale> solar_george: Been there, done that.
[21:18] <christian__> hi, is there anybody who can help me with nautilus desktop not working properly???
[21:19] <hakon_> I need help because after i installed the drivers for my wi-fi the speed dropped to 200kb.s... i need a new driver
[21:19] <tanath> Odd-rationale, kazahakase seems pretty basic so far
[21:19] <Didot> i use xchat
[21:20] <tanath> Odd-rationale, oh, ho.. just tried 'expert gui'
[21:20] <dalnew> does anyone here know how to automatically set a value in a file on startup? I tried adding echo 1 > /location/file in rc.local, but it doesn't seem to set it correctly. I know it would need root, but rc.local should have that right?
[21:20] <Odd-rationale> tanath: It starts almost 2x faster than ff
[21:20] <Che-Anarc> mjw- http://pastebin.ca/904318    its a bit messy in some parts since I am trying to get my touchscreen up and running
[21:20] <Didot> hi desti
[21:21] <tanath> Odd-rationale, seemed about the same as epiphany for me
[21:21] <gaten> dalnew: what about putting a shell script in the rc.3 folder that has the command you want?
[21:21] <Odd-rationale> tanath: kazehakase at least doesn't require ff. So I like to use it for minimum systems.
[21:22] <mjw-> Che-Anarc but glxinfo | grep -i direct returns no?
[21:22] <bofh80> mark4, still there?
[21:22] <jimcooncat_> catarinajob: please just ask your question
[21:22] <quaalx> anyone know how to make vnc start before/at the login screen
[21:22] <quaalx> so i can use it to login
[21:22] <quaalx> i have no monitor connected
[21:23] <Che-Anarc> mjw- Yes returns "No"  :-(
[21:23] <nuzolx> list
[21:23] <mjw-> Che-Anarc is this a somewhat old system?
[21:23] <Gm4n> quaalx: do you care if you log into the console or not?
[21:23] <quaalx> Gm4n, i use ssh to work on the server also, so no
[21:23] <Gm4n> then just ssh in, vnc4server
[21:23] <Gm4n> then connect up
[21:23] <Che-Anarc> mjw- Yeah a little Toghbook P3 866 Laptop.
[21:23] <quaalx> hmm
[21:23] <quaalx> ok will try
[21:23] <quaalx> thanks
[21:23] <Cpudan80> quaalx: Its possible -- the instructions are ehh hang on
[21:24] <christian__> hi! where can I check for error messages after login?

[21:24] <tanath> Odd-rationale, hmm.... good thing i tend to play around in the prefs/options before i use an app... i just learned they set the mouse gestures a little differently from standard. standard gestures for previous/next tab are set to close previous/next tabs!
[21:24] <Che-Anarc> Probaby cant support DRI?

[21:24] <shawn_selig29> i just ran th einstaller for forstwire.....but now when i try to run it it does nothing and theres no icon for th eprogram either......can anyone hlep me out?
[21:24] <ooblez> hello again, could use a hand
[21:24] <tanath> Odd-rationale, close all prev/next, that is
[21:24] <quaalx> Cpudan80, cool thanks
[21:25] <ooblez> been told to do this: "Applications -> Settings -> Settings Manager"
[21:25] <ooblez> this is xbunutu
[21:25] <ooblez> not sure what im doing
[21:25] <ooblez> oh rather cant find applications:p
[21:25] <bofh80> mark4, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75044.html   < should be useful

[21:25] <prince_jammys> ooblez: what are you trying to do?
[21:25] <tanath> Odd-rationale, and up is close tab, instead of new tab... weird
[21:25] <tanath> Odd-rationale, heh, thanks

[21:27] <jjg_> hi ... i am new to ubuntu and am remotely supporting someone trying to get a PC online ... they have installed a new NIC and the LEDs are on indicating that the kernel loaded the appropriate driver ... I would expect to be able to dhclient at this point, but it isn't working .. do i need to use a tool to configure the new NIC?  if so, where can i find the GUI?
[21:27] <mjw-> Che-Anarc http://pastebin.ca/904323   ....you may need to load some modules, see my modules section
[21:27] <mjw-> Che-Anarc but ignore the rest...especially my device section ;)
[21:28] <jappdev> jjg_: ifconfig will give you information about your network config, also take a look at /etc/network/interfaces
[21:28] <jjg_> jappdev : we aren't seeing eth0 in ifconfig
[21:28] <Veeger1> I lost the ability to play any type of video, flash wmv, mpg... I removed and reinstalled firefox and flash originally thinking it was only flash videos, butit seems to be all video.  Reinstalled nvidia deivers and restricted extras.. any suggestions
[21:28] <danbhfive> jjg_: is nm-applet running?
[21:29] <dalnew> jappdev: ahh that may be it... mine is still #!/bin/sh -e
[21:29] <tanath> Odd-rationale, looks pretty good. has potential, but they need the ability to whitelist cookies (and maybe js too)
[21:29] <jjg_> danbhfive : not sure, how to tell?... ps aux | grep nm-applet ?
[21:30] <Odd-rationale> tanath: Yeah, it is still fairly new.
[21:30] <Cew27> does anyone know where to get a script that disables compiz when running a game
[21:30] <tanath> Cew27, you could switch to metacity first
[21:30] <dalnew> jappdev: actually I added #!/bin/bash already immediately before i did the echo 1 > blah
[21:30] <prince_jammys> Cew27: you can disable it by hand
[21:30] <danbhfive> jjg_: yeah, seems like that would work.  nm-applet puts an icon for a gui configuration of your network connection
[21:30] <dalnew> do i still need to remove the #!/bin/sh -e from the top of rc.local
[21:31] <tanath> Cew27, make a shortcut that runs 'metacity --replace' and another that runs 'compiz --replace' to switch back and forth
[21:31] <preaction> will the i386 ubuntu work with amd64 processors?
[21:31] <Cew27> prince_jammys:  i know but i heard of a script that does it when i open any game
[21:31] <erUSUL> preaction: yes
[21:31] <preaction> erUSUL, thanks
[21:31] <Veeger1> Cew27: Isaw one in this channel earlier today wine"something"  you might try in #winehq
[21:31] <jjg_> danbhfive : i have a newbie at the keys and he says there is a '?' for it
[21:31] <prince_jammys> Cew27: how does the script know you're opening a game?
[21:31] <mjw-> Che-Anarc you are using the right driver though at least.
[21:31] <quaalx> Gm4n, since you seem to know a bit about this.. is there a way to open a terminal from the server to the client (through ssh) and have the app remain open even if you close the window on the client side?
[21:31] <Cew27> Veeger1: i know a person showed me but i cant find it
[21:31] <danbhfive> jjg_: is this ubuntu?
[21:31] <jappdev> jjg_ you can use sudo lshw so see what hardware the kernel recognizes, the leds will light up even if the driver hasn't loaded
[21:31] <Cew27> prince_jammys: its beyond me
[21:31] <erUSUL> quaalx: use gnu screen
[21:31] <quaalx> an app for example, irssi
[21:32] <Aranel> Whats the last version of Compiz Fusion ?
[21:32] <quaalx> gnu screen..
[21:32] <prince_jammys> Cew27: anyway, I don't know about that script but check what tanath  said
[21:32] <preaction> quaalx, screen is best, or nohup if you don't care about ever being able to see that program again
[21:32] <jjg_> jappdev : uh oh, ok .. is there a way to use lsmod and detect what driver should be loaded?
[21:32] <quaalx> preaction, screen needs to be installed on server or client or both?
[21:32] <jjg_> danbhfive : yes, ubuntu
[21:32] <preaction> quaalx, just the server
[21:32] <quaalx> ok
[21:32] <tanath> yeah, as long as you don't run epiphany, you should be fine... lol
[21:33] <Cew27> tanath: i am switching manualy at the moment but it is abit annoying
[21:33] <preaction> quaalx, you log in, type "screen", and then do what you need to. find a tutorial for screen it's quite powerful and takes a little getting used to
[21:33] <tanath> Cew27, yeah, that's why i made the shortcuts :)
[21:33] <prince_jammys> tanath: you mean for her to make two bash one-liner scripts and have them on her desktop?
[21:33] <kwrobel2008> HI everybody. Can anybody help me with a particular dovecot/sieve issue?
[21:33] <kraut> moin
[21:33] <quaalx> preaction, hmm
[21:33] <tanath> Cew27, i have the blackbox icon for compiz, since i couldn't find the official ones, lol
[21:33] <kraut> was ist denn der knetworkmanager unter gnome?
[21:33] <quaalx> i guess its already installed on ubuntu
[21:33] <Aranel> Whats the last version of Compiz Fusion ?
[21:33] <tanath> prince_jammys, no, just a regular shortcut
[21:33] <Gm4n> quaalx, I'm a little confused about your question
[21:34] <tanath> prince_jammys, right click on the desktop kinda shortcut
[21:34] <Cew27> tanath: what does the blackbox icon have to do with anything lol
[21:34] <Gm4n> you want to have the ssh tunnel open from server to client?
[21:34] <prince_jammys> tanath: how?
[21:34] <preaction> quaalx, the two things to remember are Ctrl+A, ". and ctrl+a, d. the first one lists the different screens you have, and the second one "detaches" you from the screen. then you can run "screen -R" to reattach yourself after you log-in again
[21:34] <tanath> Cew27, 'cause it looks like a black cube, so makes me think of compiz :P
[21:34] <quaalx> Gm4n, right, and have the ability to close the program that is open in the terminal, and it still remain open. a program like irssi for example.
[21:34] <prince_jammys> tanath: shortcut to what?
[21:34] <mikke> Hello. I have a WDC 500GB external disk, -ubuntu 7.10. When I don't use my WDC for a time then it goes to "power-saving-mode" and unmount itself. Can I fix this? It use USB connection
[21:34] <Cew27> tanath: ahh got you now lol
[21:34] <tanath> prince_jammys, i made one that runs "compiz --replace" and another that runs "metacity --replace"
[21:35] <danbhfive> jjg_: well, I admit im pretty ignorant of these things, but you could try just running nm-applet   and then finding the icon that shows up, and see if you can work from there
[21:35] <prince_jammys> tanath: oh one of those gnome thingys - gotcha
[21:35] <dZen|n|> nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio no sound on that card I was told last night that my sound would't work with my kernel, can somebody help me here ? I have now spended a lot of my time just tou figure out wtf is going on.
[21:35] <Veeger1> mikke: I heard something about having to use windows to turn off sleep mode on an external drive, but I thought it was seagate
[21:35] <Webu> !pls
[21:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pls - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:35] <feysalus> Hi, I have one final step before my ubuntu setup is totally complete - how do I make the fonts in wine look good like they did in windows? instead of that unreadable courier font for everything?
[21:36] <Webu> Is Rhytmbox supposed to open .pls-files?
[21:36] <Gm4n> quaalx, so we aren't talking about VNC any more?
[21:36] <quaalx> Gm4n, nah just term
[21:36] <Gm4n> ah, that was my confusion ;)
[21:36] <quaalx> Gm4n, i think screen is my answer
[21:36] <Webu> Somehow it doesn't do anything at all when i'm trying to listen an Internet radio station :/
[21:36] <Gm4n> yeah, screen sounds like the right thing
[21:36] <genii> feysalus: ps install msttcorefontsPerha
[21:36] <Cew27> tanath: meh ill make the scripts and add a kayboard shotcut ;)
[21:37] <genii> bah touchpad
[21:37] <tanath> Odd-rationale, arg, kazahakase doesn't let you use gestures when no tabs are open... that sucks. i like using U for new tab...
[21:37] <Cyanide1> i need help my music from windows that i moved over on a external hard drive wont play on ubuntu
[21:37] <feysalus> genii,  I installed it
[21:37] <tanath> Cew27, whatever works for you. you should only have to do it once, so...
[21:37] <mjw-> Che-Anarc any luck?
[21:37] <Veeger1> dZen|n|: I will try to help if you want, bit One guy did say they will not work.. he had no links to back it up
[21:37] <Cew27> tanath: wait, how do i make the script isnt it #bin/bash then the command or something
[21:37] <Odd-rationale> tanath: Sorry, never really got used to mouse gestures...
[21:37] <tanath> Cew27, might be easier with shortcuts though if someone else wants to use your computer
[21:37] <h-town> is there a way to restore my ubuntu os or to reinstall it easily?
[21:38] <Webu> Cyanide1: you're trying to listen .mp3-music right?
[21:38] <Cyanide1> yeah
[21:38] <tanath> Odd-rationale, the basic ones are easy, and come in handy. left for back, right for forward, etc
[21:38] <dZen|n|> Veeger1: I would be so happy if you did, I have now installed new alsa driver 1.0.16
[21:38] <genii> feysalus: Maybe drop some fonts into  /usr/share/fonts/wine
[21:38] <Cew27> tanath: no one else will ;)
[21:38] <Veeger1> h-town: The gnome settings are easy, other stuff not so much, sort of depends on what all has happened
[21:38] <feysalus> ah ok
[21:38] <tanath> Cew27, uh, sorry? having trouble parsing your grammar, lol
[21:38] <Cyanide1> yes Webu i am
[21:39] <tanath> Cew27, oh, just missing a . i think
[21:39] <Veeger1> dZen|n|: HAd an issue with that earlier as well, I had them go back to 15...
[21:39] <Veeger1> wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2
[21:39] <Webu> Cyanide1: that's a restricted format, you'll need to install support for them :) Check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-6c1adf157cf1aaf47a391922036b3ecc98f01796
[21:39] <h-town> well i was following a guide for the top 13 things to do after installing ubuntu and I was at the first section for adding repositories and I entered some code in the terminal and it didn't work.. but then I noticed that the guide was for the last version of ubuntu
[21:39] <tanath> Cew27, it's "#!/bin/sh"
[21:39] <feysalus> genii, there is no wine directory, there is truetype,  type1, and X11
[21:39] <h-town> and now when I try to use synaptic i get this: E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[21:39] <h-town> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[21:39] <h-town> Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
[21:39] <h-town> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[21:39] <Cyanide1> ok thanks
[21:39] <prince_jammys> Cew27: a script to replace compiz?
[21:40] <Veeger1> h-town: system   admin   system-sources
[21:40] <feysalus> oh yes!
[21:40] <h-town> do you mean software sources?
[21:40] <tanath> Cew27, using a script seems needlessly indirect though
[21:40] <Odd-rationale> Cew27: Have you heard of compiz easy switch?
[21:40] <feysalus> genii, I copied the fonts from the mstcorefonts directory to the wine c:\windows\fonts directory
[21:41] <prince_jammys> tanath: a script is super direct
[21:41] <tanath> Cew27, a shortcut would run it directly
[21:41] <Cew27> Odd-rationale: no ?
[21:41] <Cew27> tanath: also i am now missing window borders :(
[21:41] <tanath> prince_jammys, the way he's doing it, is making a script to execute it. then binding a keyboard shortcut to run the script...
[21:41] <danbhfive> !enablesources | h-town
[21:41] <ubotu> h-town: Enable the standard Ubuntu repositories by going to System > Administration > Software Sources - See !repositories for detailed information
[21:41] <Odd-rationale> Cew27: I think it is what you're looking for. Let me get link
[21:41] <prince_jammys> tanath: ok indirect
[21:41] <tanath> Cew27, your window manager isn't running
[21:41] <Webu> Cyanide1: no problem, after that .mp3 and other restricted formats should play with all related programs :)
[21:41] <kwrobel2008> Anybody here with dovecot experience at all?
[21:42] <dZen|n|> Veeger1: ok now it have opened in ark
[21:42] <Cew27> tanath: how do i fix it
[21:42] <h-town> it all looks enabled all ready
[21:42] <tanath> Cew27, alt+f2 should still work if you're running gnome.. then run in there 'compiz --replace' (or metacity, depending on which you want)
[21:42] <dZen|n|> Veeger1: should I do ./configue ; make ; make install ?
[21:42] <h-town> what is !repositories?
[21:43] <tanath> !repositories
[21:43] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[21:43] <prince_jammys> cew27 tanath if you want to be cute you can even make an alias
[21:43] <Cpudan80> dZen|n|: Yes, that's how you compile something from the source
[21:43] <tanath> starting a line with ! makes it a message to the bot (ubotu)
[21:43] <Veeger1> dZen|n|: before you do..  would you do lspci for me
[21:43] <Odd-rationale> Cew27: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662926

[21:44] <h-town> ohh

[21:51] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[21:51] <Cpudan80> Im having a problem with my monitor
[21:51] <Cpudan80> The "edge" is way to far off the right side
[21:51] <Jowi> Cpudan80, LCD or CRT?
[21:51] <Cpudan80> The resolution is correct and everything, but I can drag the windows off to the right and lose them
[21:51] <Cpudan80> LCD
[21:51] <jdix123> cpudan - did you try your positioning buttons on the monitor?
[21:51] <Jowi> Cpudan80, press "auto adjust" button on monitor
[21:52] <Cpudan80> I really think it's an ubuntu problem though
[21:52] <jjg_> ok, i found out that i have a 3com 3c90x NIC ... can i use apt-get to get the nic or do i need to download it and build it?
[21:52] <Cpudan80> Why does it allow me to drag windows way off to the right?
[21:52] <Cpudan80> The left side is ok
[21:52] <jjg_> that is to say .. can i use apt-get to get the kernel module?
[21:52] <scjp_>  http://rifers.org/paste/show/6673
[21:53] <Cpudan80> Actually the left side is the same
[21:53] <kacper_> connect poznan.ircnet.pl

[21:57] <mjw-> Cpudan80: for what it's worth, your graphics would be better supported with the "radeon" driver as opposed to the "ati" driver. You're not going to get any 3d acceleration with the ati driver
[21:58] <Cpudan80> mjw-: My graphics card does not support the radeon driver
[21:58] <dZen|n|> ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel && make /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/buil <<- can I use this one ?

[21:58] <Jowi> !xinerama
[21:58] <ubotu> xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead

[21:59] <Veeger1> Cpudan80: I have one of those here...  just not using it as dual
[21:59] <Jowi> Cpudan80, you will still need to specify the monitor characteristics.
[21:59] <mjw-> Cpudan80 that's peculiar, the radeon 7500 is listed as supported.

[22:00] <Cpudan80> mjw-: Well - it wouldn't install on my laptop --- its not even listed under the 3rd party driver app thing
[22:00] <Veeger1> Cpudan80: If you tried to install fglrx you need to remove that firsrt
[22:00] <tajer007> hi everybody, i want that my kernel receive data on usbport1, i monitore and change them, than send them to usbport2
[22:00] <speeddemon8803> its real
[22:01] <sh> Hi guys. ps ax shows some postgresql processes. I want to kill exactly one of them, i.e. the process with the identifier "postgres -D /home/sh/src-out/postgresql-8.3.0/data/". How the fuck can I get his PID using pidof?
[22:01] <speeddemon8803> it replaces the windows key with an ubuntu logo.
[22:01] <mjw-> Cpudan80 ah, you mean restricted driver thing? I may have misspoke, the radeon driver is an opensource one, the 3rd party one is called fglrx
[22:01] <Asathoor> My wireless connection is annoying, often it looses the connection and I have to reboot
[22:01] <tajer007> hi everybody, i need help:  i want that my kernel receive data on usbport1, i monitore and change them, than send them to usbport2, is this possible?
[22:01] <Cpudan80> mjw-: Yeah, i think I tried all this before -- but it failed miserably
[22:01] <tolak68> i have dl the latest ati drv, but can't install it?
[22:01] <billenium> How can i reinstall ubuntu ("Format it") without using the CD? I am using ubuntu now, and i just want it to go back to the way it was when i first installed it. Thanks! :)
[22:02] <ompaul> sh, (A) as they said in #debian and (B) mind the language please
[22:02] <mjw-> Cpudan80 bummer, the radeon driver works with the older radeons a lot better than the ati driver does, which was wonky on my laptop as well
[22:02] <Veeger1> Cpudan80: I will try to walk you through a single monitor with the right driver if that would help
[22:02] <worgil> can anyone know ispconfig i need help pls
[22:02] <Asathoor> billenium >> I would use the cd ...
[22:02] <Cpudan80> Veeger1: Sure
[22:02] <Odd-rationale> billenium: Did you create a /home?
[22:02] <billenium> What if i dont have access to the CD?
[22:02] <speeddemon8803> worgil, are you talking about ipconfig?
[22:02] <Cpudan80> Veeger1: Wanna join me in #Cpudan80?

[22:04] <alus> at 8%
[22:04] <alus> does that mean something is wrong with my system, or the memory tester has a bug?
[22:04] <worgil> i need some help about http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20426
[22:04] <billenium> What is unetbootin?
[22:04] <Odd-rationale> billenium: Let me get link...
[22:04] <tolak68> yeah worgil goto network tools
[22:04] <billenium> cool thanks

[22:05] <Cpudan80> Wooo !
[22:05] <Cpudan80> Only one casualty that time!
[22:05] <speeddemon8803> billenium, unetbootin allows you to install ubuntu from windows by downloading the image, then putting a bootloader on your pc, and partitioning it so you can have both windows and ubuntu (supposedly).
[22:05] <quaalx> why is tightvncserver making all my keys type the wrong character. spacebar types a 7 in the vnc session
[22:06] <billenium> I dont have Windows, and i dont want windows :P
[22:06] <xyzjs> windwsrox ;p
[22:06] <speeddemon8803> just giving you what i know about unetbootin :)
[22:06] <Odd-rationale> billenium: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/index.html
[22:06] <kgx> hi..noob question: how do i find out which is current "drive". when i do df -h, what should i be looking for if i want to know the amount of free space available?
[22:07] <Asathoor> Is the wireless networking
[22:07] <Asathoor> buggy?
[22:07] <tolak68> kdx- system-system monitor
[22:07] <jdix123> kgx - there's a spiffy disk usage graphic utility in gnome.
[22:07] <Odd-rationale> billenium: I think unetbootin works on Linux as well
[22:08] <dZen|n|> Veeger1: sudo cp ./modules/snd-hda-intel.ko /lib/modules/$( uname -r )/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/  <<- this one dosn't work
[22:08] <ffm> I have a ati radeon x1300 and whenever I use the ATI or radeon driver X hangs. Any fixes?
[22:08] <billenium> Probably not a good place to ask this... but could i also install Debian? or Fedora? or any other distro?
[22:08] <tolak68> why no cd billenium?
[22:08] <ompaul> billenium, ask them
[22:08] <Odd-rationale> billenium: Yes.
[22:08] <Jowi> kgx, all drives shown with df -h is in use. depends on what you mean by "current"
[22:08] <speeddemon8803> sure billenium
[22:08] <ffm> billenium: use unetbootin.
[22:08] <billenium> tolak68: very long story...
[22:08] <mjw-> Cpudan80 you might use this as a basis sometime if you ever want to give the radeon driver a spin - even compiz works for me: http://pastebin.ca/904323
[22:08] <billenium> i have a CD drive... but it only takes the CDs i order off the internet :P
[22:08] <ffm> billenium: it supports ubuntu, debian, fedora...
[22:08] <Jowi> s/is/are
[22:08] <tolak68> can you intall one?
[22:08] <Odd-rationale> billenium: See list of available OS's via unetbootin here: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
[22:09] <ffm> mjw-: was that ment for me?
[22:09] <xxi> vino (vnc) is displaying only black for the second monitor in my dual screen display.  is there anything special that needs configuration?
[22:09] <Veeger1> dZen|n|:    sudo depmod -a
[22:09] <kgx> Jowi: well lets save i need to save 1G of data to /backups/, how would i know how much stuff i can put in there?
[22:09] <Cpudan80> mjw-: thanks
[22:09] <billenium> I narrowed it down to something like this "My computer can only take pressed CDs not burned CDs"
[22:09] <Odd-rationale> billenium: Did you burn the iso images to disk or the iso itself?
[22:09] <tolak68> bill- sounds wierd
[22:09] <mjw-> ffm I don't think so? But feel free to use it...? :)
[22:09] <kgx> Jowi: btw, this is a remote terminal, so don't have access to gui stuff
[22:09] <dZen|n|> Veeger1: done
[22:09] <ffm> mjw-: kk. the radeon driver hates me. I have A I have a ati radeon x1300 and whenever I use the ATI or radeon  driver X hangs. Any fixes?
[22:10] <Veeger1> dZen|n|: restart x   log out and in
[22:10] <billenium> Just don't worry about it
[22:10] <speeddemon8803> bill, does the structure of your cd look like ubuntublabla.iso or are there more than just that file on it?
[22:10] <tolak68> bill: i think you need another cd drive
[22:10] <Jowi> kgx, df -h has six columns. the "Avail" column show how much space is left on a device
[22:10] <billenium> thans for the link though, Unetbootin is awesome :P
[22:10] <dZen|n|> brb
[22:10] <ffm> mjw-: or should I just live with the 800x600?
[22:10] <mjw-> ffm the radeon driver does not support the X1x00 cards, you have to use the fglrx driver
[22:10] <Odd-rationale> billenium: How did you burn the disk?
[22:10] <c> who here has Ubuntu Ultimate 1.7?
[22:10] <mjw-> ffm the newest card the radeon driver supported was the X850
[22:10] <billenium> With nero :P
[22:10] <tolak68> gtg
[22:11] <speeddemon8803> as an image or a file bill?
[22:11] <ffm> c: we don't support ubuntu ultimate.
[22:11] <billenium> Just don't worry about it! haha its fine, i don't need any help.
[22:11] <billenium> with my CD drive

[22:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about g2g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:11] <speeddemon8803> *cd image
[22:11] <Bodsda> hey guys, is there a way to remember what windows and things i had open last time i logged out,.,.eg -- if i have totem and a terminal, then restart x with ctrl+alt+backspace ,.,.can my system remember those programs and load them automatically when i log back ion?
[22:11] <Odd-rationale> billenium: ok
[22:11] <Itaku> !lol | ffm
[22:11] <ubotu> ffm: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[22:11] <ffm> tolak68: this is a crowded channel. Please don't make it even more so.
[22:11] <Itaku> oh
[22:11] <Itaku> i didnt know that command existed
[22:12] <Bodsda> !yay
[22:12] <ubotu> Glad you made it! :-)
[22:12] <billenium> with unetbooten, can i install it on my hard drive? or do i have to partition it?
[22:12] <ffm> billenium: yes, and no.
[22:12] <ffm> billenium: *yes and yes.
[22:12] <mjw-> ffm look at   man radeon   to see what the radeon driver supports
[22:12] <ffm> billenium: for no partitions, use "wubi"
[22:12] <billenium> okay thanks
[22:12] <Odd-rationale> billenium: Or lubi
[22:13] <Bodsda> bazhang, hey dude ;~)
[22:13] <billenium> well if im using linux shouldn't i use lubi?
[22:13] <dZen|n|> Veeger1: done
[22:13] <Jowi> Bodsda, no. you will need to save the session for that to work. ctrl-alt-backspace is not meant to be used as a logout function.
[22:13] <speeddemon8803> bodsda, long time no see...what has it been? a few days? :)
[22:13] <Odd-rationale> billenium: Correct. But partitioning is the better option...
[22:13] <CarlFK> what can I do about this:  The following packages have been kept back:  linux-generic
[22:13] <Bodsda> Jowi, but kubuntu can do it by default, without saving session
[22:13] <billenium> Well i dont see a point since i only want 1 OS, right?
[22:14] <speeddemon8803> right bill :)
[22:14] <Bodsda> speeddemon8803, hey dude,. yer sorry,.,. been learning to programme,.,.lol
[22:14] <ffm> billenium: do you want to wipe out your windows install?
[22:14] <speeddemon8803> heh, yeah i need to learn that myself bodsda.
[22:14] <Jowi> Bodsda, if that is right, then kubuntu has disabled Xorg ctrl-alt-backspace and set up the key combination to save the session and log out instead.
[22:14] <Asathoor> anyone with suggestions on how to get an ATI Radeon driver working?
[22:14] <billenium> ffm: im not using windows :P
[22:14] <billenium> im using ubuntu
[22:14] <Bodsda> speeddemon8803, im starting with python,,.,.got me a hefty manual !! ;~)
[22:14] <speeddemon8803> !ati | asathoor
[22:14] <ubotu> asathoor: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[22:14] <billenium> and yes i want to wipe it out and install ubuntu (Again)
[22:15] <Cyanide1> can you install Gutsy Gibbon  on ubuntu 6.06
[22:15] <ffm> billenium: then use the unetbootin
[22:15] <Asathoor> thanx
[22:15] <mjw-> Asathoor what's the output of  lspci | grep -i vga
[22:15] <ffm> Cyanide1: yes, but you have to upgrade first.
[22:15] <Bodsda> Jowi, ok,.,.how about rememberin my open things if i log out properly ??
[22:15] <ffm> Cyanide1: to 6.10
[22:15] <speeddemon8803> !alternative | cyanidel
[22:15] <billenium> unetbootin totally wipes out the whole thing? then without partitioning installs ubuntu?
[22:15] <ubotu> cyanidel: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD.  It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal
[22:15] <ffm> billenium: it wipes everything out if you want it to.
[22:15] <Jowi> Cyanide1, not recommended. either you upgrade to the inbetween versions first or wait until next LTS is released
[22:15] <ffm> billenium: and partitons itself.
[22:15] <Jowi> !lts | Cyanide1
[22:15] <ubotu> Cyanide1: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[22:16] <billenium> well i dont want any partitions! lol... just ubuntu... no windows... no nothing
[22:16] <Odd-rationale> billenium: Partion first, then delete your current install's partition.
[22:16] <speeddemon8803> cyanidels getting good usage out of ubotu ;)
[22:16] <Veeger1> dZen|n|: Did you get any sound.. the mixer controls are muted after installing those drivers.. double check
[22:16] <Jowi> Cyanide1, you can upgrade from one LTS version to another LTS.
[22:16]  * billenium is confused
[22:16] <ffm> billenium: that's not a good idea.
[22:16] <danbhfive> billenium: ubuntu needs at least 2 partitions
[22:16] <Cyanide1> ok how
[22:16] <ffm> billenium: the default linux install is 2 partitions
[22:16] <ffm> !upgrade | Cyanide1
[22:16] <ubotu> Cyanide1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[22:16] <Jowi> !upgrade | Cyanide1
[22:16] <Cyanide1> and will i lose a data when i do
[22:16] <billenium> ?
[22:16] <danbhfive> billenium: one for swap, and one for home
[22:16] <Cyanide1> all*
[22:16] <ompaul> billenium, so just click install and do it - you need two partitions and it will do it automagically if you want
[22:16] <ffm> Cyanide1: no.
[22:16] <dZen|n|> Veeger1: I can se that I still use 1.0.16
[22:16] <Cyanide1> !upgrade
[22:16] <Bodsda> Jowi, any thoughts?
[22:16] <billenium> meh whatever...
[22:17] <billenium> im just going to use unetbootin
[22:17] <billenium> its not like this computer is expensive
[22:17] <ffm> billenium: you a partitionfobe?
[22:17] <ffm> *phobe
[22:17] <Jowi> Bodsda, never used kubuntu so no :)
[22:17] <speeddemon8803> im a windowsaphobe ;)
[22:17] <Cyanide1> !upgrade
[22:17] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[22:17] <billenium> wait...wait.. unetbootin is for windows?
[22:17] <Bodsda> Jowi, no i mean how would i make my ubuntu machine save my session when i log out?
[22:17] <ompaul> billenium, got your install cd?
[22:17] <ffm> billenium: and linux
[22:18] <ffm> billenium: you want the deb.
[22:18] <speeddemon8803> Cyanidel, if your going to use the bot, I do suggest you go to the websites as they are very informative :)
[22:18] <speeddemon8803> Cyanidel, or read the instructions it gives.
[22:18] <billenium> oh
[22:18] <billenium> \thats the fourth one i guess
[22:18] <Bodsda> brb
[22:18] <ffm> !botabuse > Cyanide1
[22:18] <Jowi> Bodsda, "gnome-session-save" should do it I guess.

[22:21] <speeddemon8803> BOdsda...read my mind bud!
[22:21] <Bodsda> Jowi, anyway to add that command to the beginning of the log out process?
[22:21] <ompaul> pier357_, ctrl + c   - if it accepts that if in x run a new terminal and type xkill and click the skull and xbones on your application window

[22:22] <billenium> perfect
[22:22] <Jowi> Bodsda, System -> prefs -> session should have an option to save on logout already if i'm not mistaken (i haven't used gnome in a while)

[22:28] <Jowi> Bodsda, yes, you can create a script to run the commands you want for a keycombo. but ctrl-alt-backspace is already taken. it will need to be disabled first in /etc/X11/xorg.conf i guess. I've seen it there but don't remember the exact option to add.
[22:28] <bastid_raZor> EchoedSilence; ubuntu needs ext3 format to install on. you'll need to make a partition with ext3

[22:33] <bastid_raZor> EchoedSilence; okay, use ext3 instead of ext2.. that may work better
[22:33] <Jowi> dZen|n|, first make sure sshd is running (restart it to see if you get errors or not), secondly, if you are behind a router you need to set up portforwarding in it pointing to the machine running sshd.
[22:34] <EchoedSilence> bastid_raz0r: Alright. I'll try later. got some HW. anything else in case it sticks at 15%? It doesn't freeze, as i can use firefox, but the installation does.
[22:34] <mjw-> Che-Anarc you might try googling about for your chipset and xorg.conf ...might find some example ones
[22:34] <bastid_raZor> EchoedSilence; that should do it. good luck

[22:53] <HazardX> how would I go about rerunning the install time configuration of the default user?
[22:53] <jappdev> Smegzor: which repos are failing?
[22:53] <HazardX> after the system has been installed?
[22:53] <Photocopy> Right.
[22:53] <bert1> hey people...
[22:54] <bert1> i got the new ubuntu
[22:54] <Cyanide1> how do i remove wine so i stop getting this W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com edgy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263
[22:54] <Photocopy> In ubuntu 7.10 my (I think its a creative or something ) Sound card does not work/was not detected/whatever happened. Help?
[22:54] <Smegzor> gutsy-proposed  (do you need more info than that?)
[22:54] <kjoz> Bodsda: Thanks, appreciate it :) Great community here, going to stick with linux for a long time, a lot better than MS :)
[22:54] <HazardX> (or actually, in this case, running it the first time)
[22:54] <Bodsda> !time > HazardX      read pm from ubotu
[22:54] <bert1> and desktop effects and wobbly windows worked stright away...
[22:54] <Bodsda> kjoz, glad you like it ;~)
[22:54] <bert1> but how do i activate/use the cube desktop???
[22:54] <Photocopy> kjoz; as long as you aren't a gamer, you should be using linux.
[22:54] <bert1> does anyone know?
[22:54] <HazardX> ....I don't need to set the clock
[22:54] <nickrud> Cyanide1: you would remove the file in /etc/apt/sources.list that mentions budgetdedicated (but getting the gpg key so it validates is another option)
[22:54] <ompaul> I will removing a large series of bans - prepare for some scrolling
[22:55] <HazardX> During installation the user setup stage got skipped,
[22:55] <Bodsda> HazardX, ok sorry,.,.didnt understand your question fully
[22:55] <HazardX> yea, its kinda an odd one.
[22:55] <nickrud> Cyanide1: erm, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* , could be there as well
[22:55] <Cyanide1> ive tryed it wont
[22:55] <ompaul> NOTICE  I will removing a large series of bans - prepare for some scrolling  I'll say when it it is done  ;-)
[22:55] <Photocopy> !sound
[22:55] <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
[22:55] <Smegzor> I notice that I often get one or more seemingly random repos have a hash sum mismatch or just not be available at all.  I don't know whats causing it.
[22:55] <chris062689_> ... What's going on?
[22:56] <nickrud> chris062689: ban clearing, just wait (it sucks)
[22:56] <Bodsda> chris062689, he sent a NOTICE -- he's removing bans ,.,.it will only take a sec
[22:56] <Cyanide1> ho do i get to /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:56] <ompaul> NOTICE  I will removing a large series of bans - prepare for some scrolling  I'll say when it it is done  ;-)
[22:56] <nickrud> Cyanide1: in a terminal, cd /etc/apt
[22:56] <ompaul> done!
[22:56] <chris062689_> Oh, ok sorry about that, I just logged in to see all of this.
[22:56] <ompaul> sorry about that housekeeping
[22:56] <Bodsda> Cyanide1, through terminal or nautilus?
[22:56] <jappdev> Smegzor: hmm, odd, which mirror are you using? (ex us.archive.ubuntu.com)
[22:56] <haxality> I was wondering how to set the font used during system startup
[22:56] <Smegzor> main
[22:56] <pike_> Cyanide1: either use preferences in synaptic or gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:56] <nickrud> Cyanide1: then sudoedit sourcesl.list
[22:56] <jac0b> how do I search for terms in ubuntu
[22:56] <Smegzor> hang on ..  I check
[22:56] <chris062689_> I have a question.
[22:57] <nickrud> Cyanide1: also, look in the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[22:57] <chris062689_> Is it possible to change the menu icon into a PNG in the GNOME Menu?
[22:57] <Bodsda> nickrud, sourcesl.list?
[22:57] <neolith2099> I had a screensaver open to look through them and a few opengl ones appear to lockup the system. It doesn't actually crash because my music still plays, but the keyboard wont work. Is there any keyboard combo that I can use to kill X, besides CTRL+ALT+BACKSAPCE (that wont work either)
[22:57] <nickrud> Bodsda: lovely typo there :)
[22:57] <HazardX> how can I add a GUI-admin access user from the command line?
[22:57] <Bodsda> nickrud, dont you just love 'em ,.,.;~)
[22:57] <nickrud> Cyanide1: that should have been sudoedit sources.list
[22:57] <LavieX> Hey Everyone - Can someone point me too a good website that gives recommendations on laptops to use with Ubuntu?
[22:57] <Zvezdichko> wow... how silly I am! I installed Epiphany and I expected to have the browser. Now I have a very stange game
[22:57] <HazardX> (as in a user that in the GUI is seen as having access to synaptic)
[22:57] <chris062689_> lol
[22:57] <jac0b> is the search function broken
[22:57] <nickrud> Bodsda: and I don't even have the excuse of typing on my lap this time

[22:58] <Bodsda> nickrud, and whats sudoedit  ,.,.ive never heard of it,.,.is it a cli editor?
[22:58] <nickrud> Cyanide1: that's ok, its only a warning
[22:58] <Bodsda> nickrud, thats the only bad use of wireless keybords.,.lol

[22:58] <butsniffer> anyone running them WD 500gig drives?
[22:58] <nickrud> Bodsda: it's an $EDITOR wrapper for sudo
[22:59] <Bodsda> nickrud, in n00b terms please
[22:59] <Cyanide1> i get the sources.list but theres nothing really there
[22:59] <Bodsda> Cyanide1, sources.list is a large text file containing repositories
[22:59] <Bodsda> Cyanide1, or rather repo locations
[23:00] <nickrud> Bodsda: it calls whatever editor is defined by EDITOR environment variable, and runs sudo on the file
[23:00] <chris062689_> Is it possible to set the GNOME menu icon to a PNG?
[23:00] <alex123> hey guys, i read that gstreamer-ffmpeg 0.10.3 fixes the flv seeking bug. but the gutsy repo only has 0.10.2. How do I go about upgrading the package?
[23:00] <Strangelet> Sometimes, in a couple of games, clicking the left-mouse-button will cause the screen to flash a black screen for a brief second. Also, running native linux games give me strangeness when I try to move the game window, it leaves an imprint of the game on it's earlier location. Any good fixes any of you could give?
[23:00] <Cyanide1> ok so how do i find the one with wine
[23:00] <jdix123> I can't get my laptop to display any desktop effects - so compiz fusion doesn't want to work.  I'm running Hardy on a Compaq Evo N610c notebook
[23:00] <jappdev> jdix123 see #ubuntu+1 for hardy support
[23:00] <jdix123> thanks
[23:01] <Bodsda> nickrud, ah,.so i could set $EDITOR to gedit and when i run  sudoeditor ./sources.list    it would open gedit on sources.list with sudo priviledges?
[23:01] <nickrud> Cyanide1: look through the file, do you see budgetdedicated listed there?
[23:01] <Bodsda> chris062689_, what do you mean by "GNOME menu icon"??
[23:01] <Smegzor> jappdev: nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-updates/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2: Hash Sum mismatch  (this one is fine if I switch to Main).
[23:01] <nickrud> Bodsda: better would be setting VISUAL , if it's set it's preferred in X
[23:01] <Smegzor> jappdev: I'm going to change my dns servers.  That might help.
[23:02] <chris062689_> In the default instal of Ubuntu, the Ubuntu icon at the top left corner.  That one
[23:02] <chris062689_> I want to replace it with a PNG  is that possible?

[23:02] <Bodsda> nickrud, yer, ok,.,. cheers for the info
[23:03] <haxality> I was wondering how to set the font used during system startup
[23:03] <Bodsda> chris062689_, yes, i suppose it has to be defined somewhere,.,.where i do not no though
[23:03] <chris062689_> I would assume it's somewhere in the gconf editor
[23:03] <Bodsda> haxality, as in the fonts that grub use?
[23:03] <Bodsda> chris062689_, have a look ;~)
[23:03] <nickrud> Cyanide1: found it?
[23:03] <haxality> more the fonts immediately after grub hands off the bootloading, actually
[23:04] <Bodsda> haxality, ah,.,.not sure,.. i dont even know what prog controlls that im afraid
[23:04] <nickrud> haxality: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[23:04] <Cyanide1> Nickrud no i didnt its not there
[23:04] <haxality> woot
[23:04] <haxality> thank you!
[23:04] <Itaku> hai der is there liek a way to upgrade to ubuntu 8.04 with apt?

[23:05] <Bodsda> !upgrade > Itaku       see pm from ubotu
[23:05] <nickrud> Cyanide1: ok, type this:   grep -r  budget  /etc/apt/*  , you should get back a line with a file name
[23:05] <Itaku> Bodsda that link doesnt tell me

[23:08] <Itaku> well is there a way to upgrade to ubuntu 8.04 alpha from apt?
[23:08] <nickrud> Bodsda: it means recursive, down thru directories
[23:08] <Itaku> or not using a cd
[23:08] <Bodsda> nickrud, why would that help in a text file that has no child dir's   ??
[23:08] <nickrud> Itaku:   sudo update-manager -d  should work
[23:08] <Itaku> k
[23:08] <Bodsda> !distupgrade
[23:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about distupgrade - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[23:11] <Cyanide1> rm: cannot remove `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list': No such file or directory
[23:11] <Bodsda> Photocopy, yes?
[23:11] <asdrubal> Could someone explain to me why, when I compile a kernel: it appends 10.00-Custom to the package name ?
[23:11] <asdrubal> that screws everything up
[23:12] <Photocopy> Bodsda: That thing implies nobody knows my answer. Sound not working in linux is a common thing, and theres 1138 people in here. Im sure someone knows, thanks for showing a lack of concern though.
[23:12] <jonkri> i have a image of a hard disk with a corrupted partition table. i do not have the partition table information. is it possible to recreate it somehow?
[23:12] <Bodsda> Photocopy, "that thing" implies you should be patient
[23:12] <nickrud> Cyanide1: odd, since /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list:deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main was the result.   ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* , is it there?
[23:12] <Photocopy> Bodsda: By the time someone comes free to help me, if my message is forgotten and gone, I won't be helped.
[23:13] <ph0rensic> Photocopy: Plus of the 1138 people here .. maybe 25 are active and paying attention
[23:13] <astro76> Photocopy: feel free to repeat your question every 10 minutes or so
[23:13] <nickrud> Bodsda: not really. I don't think it's a script, but a key combo watched for by X itself. I think I saw a way to change it in xorg.conf once, but that was a while back
[23:13] <asdrubal> Could someone explain to me why, when I compile a kernel: it appends 10.00-Custom to the package name?
[23:13] <ph0rensic> Hey zelrik
[23:13] <Bodsda> Photocopy, your reposting a help me not a question,.,.if you reposted a question you might get helped
[23:13] <Jangari> photocopy, the general etiquette in here is to repeat your query no more often than about once every 20 minutes
[23:13] <ph0rensic> zelrikriando: its me
[23:13] <asdrubal> dpkg-deb: building package `linux-image-2.6.24.2-c2d' in `../linux-image-2.6.24.2-c2d_2.6.24.2-c2d-10.00.Custom_i386.deb'.
[23:13] <haxality> asdrubal, when you build the kernel package there's an option you can pass, it's --append-to-version, I THINK
[23:13] <Bodsda> nickrud, i want ctrl+alt+backspace to save my session before restarting x,.,any ideas?
[23:13] <comicinker> is your firefox also very unstable on gutsy? mine is crashing about every 10 minutes!
[23:13] <asdrubal> Nowhere did I specify "10.00.Custom
[23:14] <nickrud> asdrubal: so it's differentiated from an ubuntu kernel
[23:14] <Photocopy> Bodsda: I don't see a difference.
[23:14] <Cyanide1> nick im going to pm you to make this alittle easier on my self
[23:14] <haxality> asdrubal, it should be in the man pages for the .deb build command
[23:14] <Bodsda> Jangari, i think more 5 mins then 20
[23:14] <butsniffer> anyone here ever worked with vinum? is there a project similar with linux?
[23:14] <asdrubal> this is the command I ran: nice -n 20 fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-c2d kernel_image kernel_headers
[23:14] <prince_jammys> Bodsda: why not just log out normally
[23:14] <Jangari> meh, somewhere between those, Bodsda
[23:14] <pike_> Photocopy: most sblive cards 'just work' id assume the problem is either that alsa is not selected or its trying to use the onboard card or something
[23:14] <Bodsda> prince_jammys, its just a fine-tuning  nit-picky thing ;~)
[23:14] <haxality> asdrubal, should work
[23:14] <Bodsda> Jangari, ~)
[23:14] <nickrud> Cyanide1: I'm at work and have to step away for 5-10 min, be right back.
[23:14] <Photocopy> pike_: I selected each option from the mixer to no results, and have no sound.
[23:15] <Bodsda> Photocopy, well for instance,.,. i have no idea what your problem is,.,.apart from sound
[23:15] <Arenlor> I've been doing a lot of searching but can't find the answer, I can't seem to get flash to work in Opera
[23:15] <asdrubal> haxality, Like I said, it appends 10.00.Custom to it
[23:15] <haxality> hmmm
[23:15] <Photocopy> Bodsda: That I cannot hear it from my sb live... which was stated
[23:15] <ph0rensic> Arenlor: yah thats Why is use firefox ;-)
[23:15] <haxality> asdrubal, I have no idea. I remember messing with it at one point but now I can't remember how
[23:15] <haxality> asdrubal, try 'man make-kpkg'
[23:16] <Photocopy> =S
[23:16] <Bodsda> Photocopy, i think you need a lesson in how to ask 'Good' questions -- saying "It doesnt work" is a really bad way to start,.,.how about--things you think have caused it,.,.has it ever worked,.,.thins youve tried
[23:17] <Photocopy> Bodsda: Its worked on a previous installation of ubuntu but no longer. I dont know what caused it. It has worked in windows also. Pie is good.
[23:17] <pushpop> how do you install snmp on ubuntu
[23:17] <asdrubal> haxality, I need to add --revision 1
[23:17] <haxality> asdrubal, there you go
[23:17] <joshjacklin> erm is there a program for using a tv card on kubuntu
[23:17] <Bodsda> Photocopy, i like pie also,.very tasty,.,. what have you tried?
[23:17] <haxality> asdrubal, man pages are awesome :)
[23:18] <pike_> !tv | joshjacklin lots
[23:18] <ubotu> joshjacklin lots: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux.

[23:22] <prince_jammys> Photocopy: no sound?
[23:22] <prince_jammys> Photocopy: or sound from the wrong card?
[23:22] <jappdev> apples: i imagine its talking about /etc/passwd
[23:22] <Photocopy> prince_jammys: Yep. Bodsda: I'd assume so, as my sound card is a SB live.
[23:22] <highvolt> giantmidget, i added vga=795 (795 is for my color depth and resolution) and it does not work

[23:23] <ph0rensic> c01100011: Beat you!
[23:23] <highvolt> giantmidget, the vga setting wasnt there. i added it, according to a thread on the forums
[23:23] <c01100011> ph0rensic, it was internet lag, and my mouse is only 600dpi man
[23:23] <giantmidget> highvolt, i understand what you say, but vga has not worked for me either in gutsy
[23:23] <prince_jammys> Photocopy: lspci         <-- in command line, and see if the sound card is there
[23:24] <Photocopy> Bodsda: No thing after that
[23:24] <khelll> how can i monitor the commands on the level of os
[23:24] <highvolt> giantmidget, have you managed to get it to work?
[23:24] <ph0rensic> c01100011: Dont be butt-hurt
[23:24] <Photocopy> prince_jammys: its there
[23:24] <Photocopy> Bodsda: Should I test it now?
[23:24] <highvolt> heres a link to the thread i used http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=584205&page=3
[23:24] <ph0rensic> c01100011: Just playin around
[23:24] <jappdev> apples: /etc/shadow is where passwords are stored, and if it is corruped, then you'll need to restore/fix it (which might involve a reinstall)
[23:24] <giantmidget> highvolt, every time i try to specify a vga setting, my tty's are all garbled and theres no feedback until gdm steps in
[23:25] <joshjacklin> erm is there a program for using a tv card on kubuntu
[23:25] <nickrud> Cyanide1: you here?
[23:25] <mehmet> where do i go for ktorrent problems?
[23:25] <Photocopy> Bodsda: It works thanks
[23:25] <Bodsda> Photocopy, right-click on speaker in top right-->open volume controll-->File-->devices-->make sure live is selected
[23:25] <giantmidget> highvolt, i couldnt figure it out, no. but im sure thats causing your problem
[23:25] <Photocopy> prince_jammys; im good now.
[23:25] <Bodsda> Photocopy, oh, ok no probs
[23:25] <astro76> joshjacklin: tvtime
[23:25] <pike_> mehmet: #kubuntu may be best bet
[23:25] <c01100011> got stuck in windblows for the past few months due to engineering software.... finally done with the project and can fall back to my much loved linux desktop. What is shiny, new fun to play with and most likely to break my system ?
[23:25] <Photocopy> Bodsda: I said I had done that earlier... and thanks
[23:25] <apples> jappdev i cant gte into the thing to have a look
[23:25] <prince_jammys> Photocopy: check what Bodsda says, and if you can't get it then try disabling your onboard sound card from the BIOS --- do you know how to do that
[23:25] <sxealex_> joshjacklin: myth tv is awesome
[23:25] <apples> it just stops at that
[23:25] <highvolt> giantmidget, yeah. im sort of determined to get this to work. i wish it was more straightforward
[23:25] <nickrud> c01100011: compiz
[23:25] <joshjacklin> XD thn x astro76 my friend couldnt think of the name of it
[23:25] <joshjacklin> lol
[23:25] <mehmet> pike_:  i have ubuntu tho
[23:25] <c01100011> nickrud, not that  behind.
[23:25] <BlueG> is the vmsplice() exploit patched in the latest kernel for Dapper Drake?
[23:25] <Photocopy> prince_jammys.... I dont need to know how... it works now

[23:26] <mooseman447> hey ubuntu just asked me to restart and i did but now when i type in my login i see the nvidia logo and sound but it just returns to the login screen

[23:26] <jappdev> blueg: yes
[23:26] <giantmidget> highvolt, i tried posting on the forums once, but nobody gave me any answers...
[23:26] <Photocopy> Lol...
[23:26] <apples> is there another way i can get a shell to run this fsck
[23:26] <pike_> mehmet: what is the problem?
[23:26] <Bodsda> prince_jammys, by setting default card using    asoundconf  you dont need to disable onboard card
[23:26] <Photocopy> Bodsda: Now i
[23:26] <pushpop> Anyone know how to install smnp in ubuntu?
[23:26] <jappdev> apples: if you have a ubuntu live cd (any of the install cds) then boot with that and you should be able to access your HD
[23:26] <sxealex_> joshjacklin: i have mythtv its with a wintv hauppage card its amazingly awesome if you can get it working
[23:26] <astro76> mehmet: it's ok you have ubuntu, they still have more people who know kde apps there
[23:26] <prince_jammys> Bodsda: i'll have to remember that
[23:26] <highvolt> giantmidget, hmm...i found another post about editing yet another thing in the menu.lst so ill try that out
[23:26] <apples> ah yes
[23:26] <Photocopy> Bodsda: Now I'd like compiz... to play with but apparently I cannot enable it... haha// anyawy to get ubuntustudio now

[23:26] <Photocopy> thanks
[23:26] <c01100011> anything new kicking around in terms of screenlets & docks ?
[23:27] <BlueG> jappdev: ok, thx
[23:27] <mehmet> it won't move from there
[23:27] <giantmidget> highvolt, can you give me the address please?
[23:27] <Cyanide1> Nick you back
[23:27] <pike_> mehmet: you have disk space? what about port forwarding what port are you using? did you install firestarter or something?
[23:27] <giantmidget> highvolt, earlier with gutsy i was hoping its a kernel problem, but updates didnt solve it
[23:28] <khelll> how can i monitor the sql queries generated by phpmyadmin ?
[23:28] <nickrud> Cyanide1: yes. you should say nickrud, it chimes here. Just happened to pass thru as you pressed enter
[23:28] <jappdev> blueg: apt-get update should install the patch, if you roll your own, 2.6.24.2 has the fix
[23:28] <mehmet> fuck yes on disk space, port: 42845, nope on firestarter
[23:28] <jappdev> mehmet: language...
[23:28] <mehmet> hahah sorry

[23:38] <Pelo> haitham, evolution,  click the little email icon in the top bar
[23:38] <pike_> mehmet: try 192.168.1.1
[23:38] <Photocopy> Bodsda: Synaptic tells me I have a broken package to use the broken filter ti find it....  in settings>filters> I set the broken filter, it refreshes, and looks like normal.
[23:38] <waini> i need some help with my vnc-server
[23:38] <Pelo> Bodsda, thunderbird is more like outlook express
[23:39] <Bodsda> Agent_bob, try asking here #bash
[23:39] <Cyanide1> winehq.list.save
[23:39] <Cyanide1> home@linuxrocks:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$
[23:39] <waini> i have read the wiki-artikel - but it do not work
[23:39] <pike_> mehmet: i have no idea what the login and pass would be normally its admin blank pass or admin pass or something
[23:39] <nickrud> Cyanide1: sudo rm winehq.list.save
[23:39] <mehmet> oh i know this
[23:39] <Bodsda> Pelo, neh,.,.its all outlook to me,.,never used it though
[23:39] <haitham> yes i did clicked on it but i don't understand how to fill them
[23:39] <waini> i dont get the desktop
[23:39] <Agent_bob> Bodsda but it's not bash specific.  and they will say $RANDOM which is bash specific.
[23:39] <Bodsda> Photocopy, so wheres the problem?
[23:40] <Bodsda> Agent_bob, what lanuage are you usin?
[23:40] <Agent_bob> shell  (dash)
[23:40] <Photocopy> Bodsda: Synaptic told me i have a broken package... IDK what that means but i should do something about it right?
[23:40] <Bodsda> Photocopy, probably,.,.1 sec, il find the command
[23:40] <Cyanide1> Nickrud it asks from my password then does nothing but bring this up home@linuxrocks:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$
[23:41] <apples> anyone help to try to restore my ubuntu from the live cd ?
[23:41] <astro76> Photocopy: in Synaptic, Edit menu > Fix broken packages
[23:41] <Bodsda> Photocopy, in terminal     sudo apt-get check
[23:41] <nickrud> Cyanide1: it's gone then. Normally, you don't get any output when a file command is successful.  ls  again, you'll see it's gone
[23:41] <Photocopy> thanks astro76 ill try it
[23:41] <Pelo> Bodsda, MS outlook is port of MS office and  does email , calendar , contact, task, that is similar to evolution,  outlook express does email , contact, and newsgroup,  that is more along the lines of mozilla thunderbird,  which ever suites you ,  evolution is default in ubuntu ,  thunderbird can be added from the add/remove menu
[23:41] <prince_jammys> Cyanide1: it's not supposed to say anything. you just deleted a file
[23:41] <Bodsda> Agent_bob, why do you want to create a random letter in shell?
[23:41] <Pelo> Bodsda, nevermind, I meant , to send this to haitham
[23:42] <Photocopy> astro76: It flashes with no message of success or fail... what does that mean?
[23:42] <Cyanide1> Nickrud so now when i go the Update manager i shouldnt get that erro message right
[23:42]  * not_guilty is away: Gone away for now.
[23:42] <DIL_> DIL_:
[23:42] <Bodsda> Pelo, ok,.,.cheers for the info anyway
[23:42] <Bodsda> !away
[23:42] <ubotu> You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users.  (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.)  The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.  See also «/msg ubotu Guidelines»
[23:42] <nickrud> Cyanide1: correct. You may have to tell it to check first

[23:44] <Bodsda> Photocopy, good stuff,.,.you mentioned compiz earlier, anything i can help with?
[23:44] <K4k> I know I'm missing something
[23:44] <Slart> bobbob1016: not even sure you
[23:44] <astro76> bobbob1016: if you plan on hibernating, make it 2 GB, otherwise it can be far less, max 1 GB I'd say
[23:44] <Cyanide1> now all i need to do in upgrade
[23:44] <Pelo> K4k,  not sure x is part of the basic install , you might need to sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
[23:44] <prince_jammys> K4k: the output of --> ls -l /tmp
[23:44] <Slart> you'll regret compiling that
[23:44] <Slart> oops.. sorry.. wrong window
[23:45] <bobbob1016> astro76, Pelo, Slart, ok, and my laptop is 512, I'd still want 1gig swap there, right?
[23:45] <kitche> K4k: try installing xorg instead of xserver-xorg but soudns like the permissions of your user home directory might not be set correctly
[23:45] <mEck0> hi! are someone using NetBeans 6 under Hardy Heron? I got an error while I'm trying to install it
[23:45] <Slart> bobbob1016: yes
[23:45] <K4k> Pelo: I installed that already
[23:45] <Pelo> bobbob1016, I would yes
[23:45] <bad_cables> i accidentally installed the incorrect driver because i misspelled net8185.inf as rtl8185.inf when trying to install it with ndiswrapper... now when: ndiswrapper -r rtl8185.inf... i get: couldn't delete /etc/ndiswrapper/rtl8185.inf: No such file or directory
[23:45] <bad_cables>  
[23:45] <Bodsda> bobbob1016, you sually want double the ram as swap
[23:45] <mehmet> pike_:  i got the port forwarded
[23:45] <mehmet> but it is still stalled
[23:45] <astro76> bobbob1016: yeah that would be good for the laptop

[23:45] <Fishscene> Hello everyone
[23:46] <ali> hello\
[23:46] <K4k> Pelo: tried that too
[23:46] <Pelo> waini,  not always
[23:46] <Fishscene> I was wondering how to solve a strange issue
[23:46] <astro76> waini: and never recommended
[23:46] <Pelo> K4k,  I'm out of my dept then
[23:46] <kitche> K4k: usually if I see an error like that I check the permissions first since really /tmp has nothing to do with your user home directory
[23:46] <Fishscene> The Menubar on the top of any window is SUPER HUGE and the font in it is SUPER HUGE as well. How do I make it "Normal size"?
[23:46] <bad_cables> how do you un-install a non-existent driver in ndiswrapper?
[23:46] <prince_jammys> K4k: instead, just the permissions of /tmp from --- >ls -l /   one line, no need to pastebin
[23:46] <nickrud> waini: actively discouraged, even
[23:46] <K4k> prince_jammys, it says "total 0"

[23:48] <Fishscene> Pelo, Thank you for responding
[23:48] <Pelo> Scunizi, change the delay for getting the emails maybe
[23:48] <harm> ubuntu isnt picking up my other desktop's shares.. anyone know a way to fix it?
[23:48] <Scunizi> Pelo, set for every 5 minutes
[23:48] <sam1am> Can someone tell me how to make ubuntu request a new dhcp lease from my router?
[23:48] <Pelo> Scunizi, don'T know then
[23:48] <Cyanide1> Nickrud
[23:49] <waini> i knew that there is a package - but not a svn one
[23:49] <Fishscene> I'll upload a screenshot of this for you s
[23:49] <MFen> does anyone have a favorite app for syncing VIDEO (not audio.. i already like banshee) to an ipod?
[23:49] <harm> sam1am: maby try man ifconfig? not sure
[23:49] <nickrud> Cyanide1: what's up?
[23:49] <MFen> miro doesn't do it, i just found out
[23:49] <sam1am> I have given it a static lease from the router, but it is having a hard time letting go of the old IP
[23:49] <Slart> sam1am: you can run "sudo ifdown eth1 && sudo ifup eth1"
[23:49] <Che-Anarc> Can anyone tell me how I can get my touchscreen working I dont really know what make / model it is... since it came with the laptop
[23:49] <astro76> sam1am: with dhclient, not sure of the syntax
[23:49] <Che-Anarc> Its integreated
[23:49] <MFen> ^^ this is your opportunity to opine on pointless application minutiae, so don't miss it!
[23:49] <Slart> sam1am: change eth1 to the interface you want to "bounce"
[23:49] <Cyanide1> if i upgrade using a live cd from 6.06 to 7.10 will i lose all my data
[23:49] <Pelo> Che-Anarc, check the laptop model then
[23:49] <Pelo> Che-Anarc, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[23:49] <Slart> Cyanide1: I don
[23:49] <astro76> sam1am: yeah ifdown and ifup would do it too
[23:50] <Bodsda> Cyanide1, if you install onto a different partition you can import all the data from the other install
[23:50] <nickrud> Cyanide1: first, yes. Second, you  can't upgrade directly from 6.06 to 7.10
[23:50] <Slart> Cyanide1: I don't think youĺl loose all your data... you might get some problems with some software though
[23:50] <astro76> Cyanide1: you can't upgrade using the livecd ever
[23:50] <Bodsda> yes
[23:50] <harm> ubuntu isnt picking up my other desktop's shares.. anyone know a way to fix it?
[23:50] <nickrud> Cyanide1: what you want to do is wait for hardy in april, then update via the update-manager. That will be supported
[23:50] <spdf> sam1am: I believe the leases are stored in /var/lib/dhcp3
[23:50] <Slart> eh... oh.. wait.. Cyanide1.. if you use a live cd to "install" ubuntu again youy'll loose everything..
[23:51] <Bodsda> !repeat > harm     see pm from ubotu please
[23:51] <sam1am> Strange, it keeps picking up that same old lease
[23:51] <Cyanide1> ok
[23:51] <MFen> specifically, i have some rss feeds.. boingboing tv, stranger things, and maybe some miro channels. i want to watch them on the 'pod
[23:51] <Slart> harm your desktops shares?? I don
[23:51] <Slart> harm your desktops shares?? I don't understand
[23:51] <Bodsda> Slart, only if you instal over old partition,.,.create a new one, you can import all the data
[23:51] <Pelo> harm, sounds like a samba or a permission issue, I can't help with either, try asking in #samba
[23:51] <meekolope> harm: are they windows shares or linux shares?
[23:51] <Cyanide1> thanks all
[23:51] <meekolope> !smb
[23:51] <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.
[23:51] <harm> meekolope: 2 ubuntu desktops
[23:51] <Slart> Bodsda: oh? I thought the install program made a clean start.. .I might be wrong
[23:51] <harm> meekolope: i can get ssh on the other one :X
[23:51] <Fishscene> ok screenshot
[23:51] <Fishscene> http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h269/Fishscene/Screenshot.png
[23:51] <Slart>   /me isn
[23:52]  * Slart isn't really getting along with his new keyboard
[23:52] <Bodsda> Slart, i mean, you can have 2 installs on the same hard drive
[23:52] <spdf> sam1am: Check /var/lib/dhcp3/, and remove the old lease, then ifdown/ifup again.. see if that works
[23:52] <Slart> Bodsda: ah.. yes.. but not on the same partition
[23:52] <MatBoy> do I need the alternated CD for a Software raid install ?
[23:52] <Bodsda> Slart, no, but you could use a new one, import all data, remove old partition, resize new partition
[23:52] <sam1am> spdf: Can I delete that file - will it be recreated automatically?
[23:52] <Slart> MatBoy: probably.. never seen an option concerning raid on the live install
[23:52] <BockBilbo> Fishscene nice window headers
[23:52] <BockBilbo> xD
[23:52] <astro76> MatBoy: yes
[23:52] <Fishscene> ROFL
[23:52] <Pelo> Fishscene, you meant title bar, , check the settings of emerals, as you are obviously running compiz and emerald
[23:53] <Slart> Bodsda: yes.. that sounds like something you'd be able to do
[23:53] <meekolope> !nfs
[23:53] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[23:53] <Fishscene> Emerald?
[23:53] <MatBoy> Slart, me neither... astro76 thanks !
[23:53] <Fishscene> I haven't the slightest clue what Emerald is.
[23:53] <spdf> sam1am: you could just move it to your home folder for testing..
[23:53] <BockBilbo> Fishscene is the window manager for compiz
[23:53] <Slart> emerald is the decorator for compiz I think
[23:53] <MatBoy> what shall I run on a Q6600 with 4 monitors... XFCE or KDE ?...
[23:53] <MatBoy> mhh
[23:53] <Pelo> Fishscene,  forget that, go back to the font tab, in apperance,   check the font size for titles bar
[23:53] <Bodsda> Slart, wicked,,.,.the first logical thin ive ot right,.,.yay
[23:53] <Bodsda> !yay
[23:53] <ubotu> Glad you made it! :-)
[23:53] <spdf> sam1am: There's no reason for it not to create a new one
[23:53] <MatBoy> XFCE was needed on a single CPU for performance
[23:54] <Cyanide1> what the name of the new Berly
[23:54] <BockBilbo> anyway, Fishscene did you try to change the typographic settings of ubuntu? where you can set the text size of the window titles?
[23:54] <Slart> MatBoy: 4 monitors? anything that works.. =)
[23:54] <Cyanide1> whats*
[23:54] <c01100011> MatBoy, Fluxbox
[23:54] <Fishscene> Just a sec... slow computer
[23:54] <astro76> !beryl | Cyanide1
[23:54] <ubotu> Cyanide1: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz
[23:54] <BockBilbo> (it's what Pelo has just said=
[23:54] <MatBoy> c01100011, not used to that
[23:54] <meekolope> !compiz
[23:54] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[23:55] <Fishscene> Window Title font is Sans Bold 10
[23:55] <huub> aight
[23:55] <BockBilbo> tha'ts weird
[23:55] <Fishscene> Bock, I don't know where that is
[23:56] <BockBilbo> just where you've checked that
[23:56] <Bodsda> guys, in firefox,. if you killall firefox, then start it again, it asks if you want to restore sesion -- when you close firefox properly it asks if you want to close all tabs,.,. how can i make it remember my tabs, even when i close it properly?
[23:56] <Pelo> Fishscene,  then I think it is a problem with your windows decorator in this case emerald, go and ask in #compiz-fusion about it
[23:56] <BockBilbo> what happens if you dissable the desktop effects?
[23:56] <Slart> Bodsda: there's a setting for that
[23:56] <Pici> Bodsda: Where you would normally set your homepage.
[23:56] <BockBilbo> can you see the titles right?
[23:56] <sier> Can I ask a question related to a different distro here?
[23:56] <Slart> Bodsda: something like sessions.. or remember my windows bla bla
[23:56] <neverblue> Bodsda, there is a #firefox channel on /server irc.mozilla.org
[23:56] <BockBilbo> sier what do you think?
[23:56] <BockBilbo> xD
[23:56] <sier> just asking.. lol
[23:56] <Slart> sier: we might laugh and point .. but you can always ask =)
[23:56] <Pelo> sier, better ask in that distro's  channel
[23:57] <Fishscene> Pelo, Bock, Thank you. I'll try that
[23:57] <BockBilbo> lol
[23:57] <sier> ok thanks
[23:57] <Bodsda> Slart, Pici -- where abouts in the preference tab?
[23:57] <Slart> sier: just don't expect to get any good answers
[23:57] <Bodsda> neverblue, im well aware
[23:57] <Slart> Bodsda: hang on... I'll check
[23:57] <Pici> Bodsda: Edit>Preferences Theres a dropdown right above the homepage textbox
[23:57] <tass1412> problem: my gpg-agent doesn't work (at least enigmail puts an error)
[23:57] <BockBilbo> Fishscene if disabling the effects the titles are alrite, it obviously has to be something related to compiz
[23:57] <tdjacr|away> What app do I use to burn iso files?
[23:58] <tdjacr|away> What app do I use to burn iso files?
[23:58] <Pelo> Fishscene, quick fix to figure out if compiz and co is the problem turn off the desktop effects
[23:58] <astro76> Bodsda: Show my windows and tabs from last time, int he place pici mentioned
[23:58] <Fishscene> Bock, Pelo. That worked! :D
[23:58] <Pelo> tdjacr|away, gnomebaker , in the menu under tools
[23:58] <Bodsda> Pici, Slart, cheers guys,.,.never thought of loking there,.,.cheers
[23:58] <BockBilbo> tdjacr|away brasero?
[23:58] <Bodsda> astro76, ot it,.,.ty
[23:58] <Slart> Bodsda: in the main thingy.. top
[23:58] <Fishscene> Now to hammer-down on effects in the other channel :)
[23:58] <tass1412> tdjacr|away, apt-cache search iso burn
[23:58]  * Bodsda apologizes aain for his dodgy 'G' key
[23:58] <Bodsda> Slart, Pici beat you,.,.;~) ,.cheers
[23:58] <BockBilbo> Fishscene right
[23:58] <BockBilbo> :)
[23:58] <Pelo> later folks
[23:59] <K4k> how come when I do "startx >> startx.txt" nothing is put into startx.txt
[23:59] <Slart> K4k: perhaps startx doesn't output anything on the console
[23:59] <Fishscene> Bock, Pelo. Just to follow up. I disabled Desktop effects, then re-enabled them. Problem fixed
[23:59] <K4k> Slart: it does, I see it
[23:59] <Fishscene> :D
[23:59] <K4k> doh...figured it out...
[23:59] <spdf> K4k: It logs to /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:59] <illriginal> Can someone help me with a permission's issue?... It involves FTPing.
[23:59] <nemilar> K4k: >> only redirects standard output, which doesn't include errors (Stderr)
