[00:00] <israfil> how do i do that
[00:00] <Odd-rationale> mysterycool: Install what you want. You can always remove.
[00:00] <spudratic0> musse click applications add remove programs
[00:00] <nickrud> Elad: don't boot from the cd, we can't troubleshoot the install properly without running the install
[00:00] <musse> Nickrud thanks, i want install Real player
[00:00] <ompaul> israfil, minimise you can't do what you ask
[00:00] <FourX4Luvn> israfil: Then don't close it, just minimize it
[00:00] <musse> oK
[00:00] <inertial> no idea why luks encryption might be causing me to get a kernel panic on boot?
[00:00] <israfil> oh, that sucks  :(
[00:00] <IndyGunFreak> !repositories > musse
[00:00] <Elad> Nickrud: If i boot from hd, its going to take me into xo, no?
[00:00] <FourX4Luvn> inertial: Yeah, if you have encrypted LVM set up.
[00:00] <maverique> can somebody recommend me an good but not to expansive wifi card that works with ubuntu without any problems directly?
[00:00] <nickrud> Elad: xo?

[00:00] <j_humphrey> I installed KDE, and now i dont want it, is there an easy way to remove all the packages associated with it?
[00:00] <FourX4Luvn> maverique: Intel based cards
[00:01] <Elad> Nickrud: I hvent created space for linux partiiton yet... I mean windows XP
[00:01] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: yep i do...
[00:01] <maverique> are they pci or usb?
[00:01] <danand_> maverique - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[00:01] <IndyGunFreak> !synaptic > musse
[00:01] <FourX4Luvn> maverique: They make both

[00:01] <XXer> Anyone know how to set up a fserver trigger in XCHAT using obsidian2? The help file says to " [Obsidian²] To start serving with Obsidian+, first set a trigger, it's ID and a directory that will be accessible through that trigger:
[00:01] <XXer>  [Obsidian²] /fs triggers add trigger_id1 my very own trigger /path/to/somewhere" this is what i did "/fs triggers add trigger_id1 Cartoons /media/500-1HD/Cartoons" and this is the msg I get back "[Obsidian²] Warning, requested triggerid all is not defined."
[00:01] <artti> I just made apt-get update, but my ubuntu version did't update
[00:01] <IndyGunFreak> musse: realplayer is easy to install, have you tried following the instructions on their site?
[00:01] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: have i completely lost my encrypted partition?
[00:01] <nickrud> Elad: ah, I thought you had an install already done, from the alternate cd.
[00:01] <musse> not yet
[00:02] <j_humphrey> I installed KDE, and now i dont want it, is there an easy way to remove all the packages associated with it?
[00:02] <FourX4Luvn> inertial: I dealt with the same thing a while back, but now I forget what I ended up doing... Have you tried googling for "luks kernel panic"
[00:02] <maverique> i remember i once seen a MSI PCI wifi card that said it had linux drivers
[00:02] <Odd-rationale> j_humphrey: yes. one moment. let me get link
[00:02] <j_humphrey> thanks odd-rationale
[00:02] <rmorgan> maverique: several makes work well natively and with ndiswrapper
[00:02] <leniwy> hi all. how can i improve the appearance of the greek fonts in firefox?
[00:02] <IndyGunFreak> musse: well, thats a better start.. because software can be installed in many, many ways, but if you cna, its best to stay with whats in the repositories/package manager
[00:02] <Elad> Nickrud: Nope im actually trying to install now.. I'm  back at: * Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK]
[00:02] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: i was having trobule finding anything about the exact error message that was relevant but i'll try less specific searches..
[00:03] <Tetracomm> When I hibernate in KDE, I can't hear any sound when I resume. Help?
[00:03] <Elad> Nickrud: after that line it just sits there with the blinking underscore character
[00:03] <abshiffl> j_humphrey you should be able to use apt-get autoremove
[00:03] <FourX4Luvn> inertial: Unfortunately that's all I can help you with.. Just do lots of searches.. it's what I had to do.
[00:03] <IndyGunFreak> Tetracomm: don't hibernate? :)
[00:03] <astro76> artti: update only updates the package info, upgrade updates packages, and dist-upgrade upgrades to the next ubuntu version
[00:03] <nickrud> Elad: You need to install from the alternate cd, the 8800gt is not suppported by the gutsy video drivers. You have to use the alternate cd, and then do some manual config
[00:03] <j_humphrey> abshiffl, how do i use it?
[00:03] <danand_> artti - apt-get update just updates the list of packages available for install/upgrade - it does not actually update any of the packages on your system. you need to sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:03] <Odd-rationale> j_humphrey: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[00:03] <abshiffl> I belive the package for the kde desktop is just kde-desktop
[00:03] <musse> IndyGunFreak thanks man i will try now
[00:03] <abshiffl> so you would use
[00:03] <astro76> artti: so an upgrade to the next ubuntu version would be apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:03] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: ok.. you got your data back though? there's light at the end of the tunnel?
[00:03] <j_humphrey> ok thanks
[00:04] <abshiffl>  sudo apt-get autoremove kde-desktop
[00:04] <FourX4Luvn> inertial: Yes, there is light as long as you have not forgotten your passphrase
[00:04] <Elad> Nickrud: can i download the alternate from ubuntu.com?
[00:04] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: thanks for the reassurance.. i'll see what i can find
[00:04] <nickrud> Elad: releases.ubuntu.com/7.10
[00:04] <artti> astro76: i will try that
[00:04] <nickrud> Elad: sorry for assuming too much :)
[00:05] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: come to think of it i think this happened right after ubuntu did a kernel update..
[00:05] <spudratic0> adjusting sound properties in gusty how is this done?
[00:05] <Elad> Nickrud: downloading the alternate now,   I will be back in a few for your help :P
[00:05] <artti> i hope that ubuntu upgrade don't take much space
[00:05] <Mimi> Exuse me can someone help me with Making a shortcut on my desktop for WoW?
[00:05] <FourX4Luvn> inertial: That's actually reassuring.. Try booting from the old kernel (hit esc at the grub boot screen)
[00:05] <rbs-tito> fophillips: Did you get your clock working?
[00:06] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: it should be pretty easy..
[00:06] <fophillips> rbs-tito: Yep.
[00:06] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: the old one isn't listed
[00:06] <FourX4Luvn> damn
[00:06] <nickrud> Elad: I'm off line in about 45 minutes, here's a link that has reliable info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3740479&postcount=5
[00:06] <Mimi> IndyGunFreak, <-female second day on linux " Everything is hard for me "
[00:06] <Elad> thanks
[00:06] <j_humphrey> when i use i use enlightenment under gnome, does it take the place of compiz-beryl?
[00:06] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: ok., well..., how do you usually start it?
[00:07] <nickrud> Elad: that is, it's repeated in various places, and more people than not said it Worked for Them.
[00:07] <abshiffl> When I installed, I set aside a few partitions for music, photos, and backup storage space.  Each partition is mounted /music ,/photos , /backup etc and belongs to root.  How can I adjust those permissions? :(
[00:07] <FourX4Luvn> j_humphrey: Yes
[00:07] <nickrud> abshiffl:   chown username:username /music , for example
[00:07] <rbs-tito> fop hillip s: that's good
[00:07] <artti> After upgrading to 7.10 how much space that should take? Less than 2GB?
[00:07] <nickrud> abshiffl: that'll make that user able to read/write there
[00:08] <abshiffl> thanks
[00:08] <nickrud> abshiffl: you'll need sudo, forgot to prepend that
[00:08] <Mimi> IndyGunFreak, Applications/Wine/Browse C: Drive Then i go to Program file and is there
[00:08] <Elad> nickrud: thanks doesnt seem too hard
[00:08] <FourX4Luvn> artti: Are you talking how much space is needed total, or just how much will the install grow from the upgrade?
[00:08] <leniwy> nickrud: how can i improve the appearance of the greek fonts in firefox
[00:08] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: ok.
[00:08] <abshiffl> nickrud: figured as much :P Thanks
[00:09] <nickrud> leniwy: not sure, mostly a matter of finding good looking free greek fonts I'd guess. I've never messed with them
[00:09] <ompaul> leniwy, have a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[00:09] <artti> FourX4Luwn: I think how much install grow from upgrade.
[00:09] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: ok... right click your desktop.. choose create launcher, then hte dropdown bar should be application, then command, should be "wine "/path/to/file.exe"
[00:09] <IndyGunFreak> then choose an icon
[00:09] <FourX4Luvn> artti: Ok.. Not sure exactly, it depends on what packages you have installed of course, but yes it's much less than 2GB.  CLoser to 200MB or so if I had to venture a guess.
[00:10] <nickrud> ompaul: hey, that looks like a good link to fonts. I've always wanted to fill out my utf-8
[00:10] <maverique> ok well i will now freez the wifi problem
[00:10] <ompaul> nickrud, ;-)
[00:10] <abshiffl> nickrud: what does the syntax for that statement actually do, I know chown is chmod command but not sure about the username:username part
[00:10] <maverique> my father will have to live with it that i put a cable now down :P
[00:10] <ompaul> nickrud, !font does that
[00:10] <nickrud> abshiffl: the first username is the owner, the second is the group
[00:10] <nickrud> !font
[00:10] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[00:10] <FourX4Luvn> abshiffl: chown = CHange OWNership
[00:10] <abshiffl> thanks guys
[00:10] <artti> FourX4Luvn: I have on hard disk space only ~7.5 GB
[00:11] <ompaul> pici can you work on that and make it /msg cheers ^^
[00:11] <abshiffl> If there are no groups set is the 2nd parameter needed?
[00:12] <FourX4Luvn> abshiffl: Bah.. I misread your question.. sorry.  No, you don't need to add the groups part if it's not needed.  Wuld be simply "chown username /music"
[00:12] <abshiffl> perfect
[00:12] <abshiffl> thanks again
[00:12] <maverique> can somebody tell if there is a key command for switching the workspaces?
[00:12] <Mimi> IndyGunFreak, Details: Failed to execute child process ".wine/drive_c/Program" (No such file or directory)
[00:13] <bruenig> Mimi: you didn't escape the spaces
[00:13] <farruinn> maverique: ctl-alt-[arrow key]
[00:13] <nickrud> maverique: clt-alt-right/left arrow
[00:13] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: you didn't put the complete path most likely.
[00:13] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: type this w/o quotes... "/join #indygunfreak"
[00:13] <bruenig> he did, but he did Program Files instead of Program\ Files
[00:14] <Thanatos3762> It looks like you guys are talking about the workspace manager. I think it is really slick, anyone have any tips on making it even cooler?
[00:14] <Snurglewozzle> Hello, Ubuntu friends!
[00:14] <artti> Hi.
[00:14] <Thanatos3762> Herro
[00:14] <FourX4Luvn> Mimi: Check what bruenig wrote.  That's your problem
[00:15] <snkmad> anyone knows if theres a wine 0.9.55 for gutsy? only saw the package for hardy
[00:15] <artti> SnurgleWozzle: How long have you been Ubuntu user?
[00:15] <Necrodrako> Hello, Im using 7.10 and i was wondering if theres a way to use 2 programs with one soundcard (skype and amarok)
[00:15] <Snurglewozzle> artii: a fair while.
[00:15] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: no, she didn't put /home/whatever/
[00:16] <neil_d> hi, I have installed 7.10 with the 'encrypted LVM' does anyone know what encryption it uses ?
[00:16] <IndyGunFreak> i think it was several errors.
[00:16] <leniwy> ompaul: thanks for your help. i installed the package msttcorefonts and now the greek fonts looks perfect in firefox
[00:16] <artti> Snurglewozzle: I'm ubuntu user about 2.5 days. :)
[00:16] <ompaul> leniwy, glad it worked for you
[00:16] <Snurglewozzle> artti: you need help? I'm your man...
[00:17] <blbrown> general question; is there some amount of memory you keep free for smooth operation.  E.g. I am using 800 MB of ram right now and I have 2.5 gigs total.  I was thinking about going all the way to 4 just to be safe
[00:17] <neil_d> artti: thats good what where you using before ?
[00:17] <Mark_Milliman> How can I remove a package that apt-get believes is installed but dpkg can't find?
[00:17] <leniwy> :))))))
[00:17] <Necrodrako> Hello, Im using 7.10 and i was wondering if theres a way to use 2 programs with one soundcard (skype and amarok)
[00:17] <artti> Snurglewozzle: Currently i don't need help. I'm upgrading ubuntu from 4.10 to 5.04
[00:17] <ompaul> blbrown, for "normal" desktop stuff it should be good
[00:17] <fredoslack> hello
[00:17] <Snurglewozzle> Why not all the way up to 7.10?
[00:17] <astro76> Mark_Milliman: apt-get remove
[00:17] <artti> neil_d: Before i used Windows XP Professional.
[00:18] <blbrown> ompaul: I do development with tools like Eclipse.  250 MB right now for eclipse
[00:18] <Mark_Milliman> thanks astro76
[00:18] <ompaul> blbrown, the linux kernel "pre wires" lots of ram so if it is only using 800 it is fine - when you see yourself swapping then buy more ram
[00:18] <artti> Snurglewozzle: Can't upgrade right there. Step-by-step.
[00:18] <mysterycool> how can i install qemu?
[00:19] <artti> Snurglewozzle: Or can i?
[00:19] <j_humphrey> does anyone know of some documentation/thread about how to set up a simple home server?
[00:19] <FourX4Luvn> "sudo apt-get install qemu" doesn't work?
[00:19] <FourX4Luvn> mysterycool:  "sudo apt-get install qemu" doesn't work?
[00:19] <ompaul> !upgrade | artti
[00:19] <ubotu> artti: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[00:19] <Mark_Milliman> astro76, i did the remove then install but apt-get told me that policykit was already installed
[00:20] <neil_d> j_humphrey: do you want external access ?
[00:20] <Snurglewozzle> Umm...  no, I think you're right .  Step by step.  How'd you miss so many releases?
[00:20] <j_humphrey> neil_d, yeah
[00:20] <artti> ubotu: i have readed many times.
[00:20] <mysterycool> FourX4Luvn: ty :D
[00:20] <FourX4Luvn> mysterycool: Welcome
[00:20] <icesword> good morning
[00:20] <snkmad> anyone knows if theres a wine 0.9.55 for gutsy? only saw the package for hardy
[00:21] <kibb> has anyone else got this problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/102394
[00:21] <FourX4Luvn> Morning??  Someone's on the wrong side of the pond  ;-)
[00:21] <neil_d> j_humphrey: I don't know of a simple howto on that.   Seting up a server is easy, the problem is in getting others to access you IP, do you have a statis IP address ?
[00:21] <rael> hey
[00:21] <j_humphrey> neil_d, im not sure
[00:21] <ryuo> i'm testing my laptops RAM, and 2 of the addresses so far have some up as "failing" any ideas what i should do?
[00:21] <rael> Ihave gdesklets and it mmeory leaks after awhile so I would like to use cron to stop and restart it..say every 2 hours, and have it stop and the restart aminute later. I'm not sure exactly what command to use
[00:21] <Elad> Nickrud: Still here?
[00:21] <artti> Snurglewozzle: My computer was very slow with windows and i had so little free space on disk. My friend gave me Ubuntu 4.10 Live CD and Install CD.
[00:21] <nickrud> Elad: yep
[00:21] <Elad> Nickrud: I got the gui running off live cd
[00:21] <neil_d> j_humphrey: how do you connect to the inter-net
[00:21] <FourX4Luvn> rael: 'crontab -e'  I believe it's pretty well commented
[00:22] <kibb> im getting white text on most webpages makes it unreadable unless the whole page is selected
[00:22] <Snurglewozzle> artii: I see.
[00:22] <nickrud> Elad: good, I'd not heard of it being done. What did you do?
[00:22] <bAndie91> hi all
[00:22] <ompaul> artti, that is pretty old and no longer supported - if you used any "helper" tools to do any codec stuff you can be pretty sure your install will break during the upgrade, one leap at a time - for the upgrade you would have downloaded many isos and burnt them by the time you get to upgrade each distro level and if it breaks badly on you - you need to reinstall the disk you have, pretty horrific methinks
[00:22] <astro76> artti: you're running 4.10 now?
[00:22] <Snurglewozzle> artti: which country do you live in?
[00:22] <bAndie91> whats the theme?
[00:22] <artti> Snurglewozzle: Estonia.
[00:22] <j_humphrey> neil_d, wifi through a router/modem, to cable
[00:22] <artti> astro76: Yes. Currently doing apt-get upgrade
[00:23] <icesword> snkmad, u want the latest wine,u need to compile it uself
[00:23] <nickrud> artti: if those are pressed disks, keep them. They are collector's items
[00:23] <Elad> Nickrud: , I chose start ubuntu safe mode hit f4 changed res to 800x600, hit f6 change cmd line to nosplash and at the end of the line added noapic
[00:23] <kibb> default ultimate ubuntu originally it had a black background for most things but from the start white pages didnt show text
[00:23] <artti> ompaul: I can't burn on CD.
[00:23] <Snurglewozzle> artti: I understand.  I take it your internet connection is dialup?
[00:23] <nickrud> Elad: ok
[00:23] <j0hng4lt> can someone tell me how to make a directory that I can save to without being su?
[00:23] <snkmad> icesword well i always used the .deb package others have provided
[00:23] <kibb> i've changed it a few times since then the problem remains
[00:23] <artti> Snurglewozzle: wifi
[00:23] <Snurglewozzle> artti: how fast?
[00:23] <Snurglewozzle> artti: how fast?
[00:23] <ompaul> artti, ask your friend to do it for you
[00:23] <kibb> im pretty sure if i can find where to change text colours i can fix it
[00:23] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: 'mkdir ~/mystuff'
[00:23] <icesword> snkmad, what i mean is compile from source code
[00:24] <Elad> Nickrud: I have XP on my hd I want to keep it on there to, I'm at the preare disk space window, I want to partition the disk with the manual option, correct?
[00:24] <neil_d> j_humphrey: ok, does the router/modem get turned off regular ?
[00:24] <j_humphrey> niel_d never
[00:24] <snkmad> icesword i know, but theres the latest package compiled already, but its for hardy, not gutsy
[00:24] <artti> Snurglewozzle: Currently it shows 60kb/s
[00:24] <jacob_> FourX4Luvn how do i use vnc?
[00:24] <Snurglewozzle> artti: ok, that's reasonably fast.  Any reason you didn't just download 7.10 and wipe your disk clean -- start from scratch?
[00:24] <kibb> i can change the font in Appearance Preferences but not the default colour
[00:24] <nickrud> Elad: yes, you'll want to resize the windows partition. But, before you do that defrag the windows disk, and backup
[00:24] <icesword> snkmad, why not manage it youself
[00:25] <astro76> artti: with all the downloading the many upgrades would need to do, if you can even upgrade from that old anymore.. you'd be better off downloading the latest iso
[00:25] <artti> ompaul: I think that i should ask.
[00:25] <unagi> anyone know why alt +f4 would stop closing windows other than the obvious keyboard shortcuts?
[00:25] <jacob_> FourX4Luvn what server should i use?
[00:25] <Snurglewozzle> jacob_: use synaptic and search for tightvnc
[00:25] <artti> Snurglewozzle: And what i do, when i only latest?
[00:25] <j0hng4lt> thx - made the dir - how do I set permissions?
[00:25] <FourX4Luvn> jacob_: Oh.. you mean the service or user-mode?
[00:25] <Elad> Nickrud: I defragged yesterday and backup'ed all my main files today.
[00:26] <nickrud> Elad: smart
[00:26] <jacob_> i downloaded the linux version and I runned vncviewer
[00:26] <Elad> Nickrud: I need to create a new partition table?
[00:26] <Snurglewozzle> artti: I am suggesting that, if you have nothing important to save on your hard drive -- things that can't be backed up -- that you simply download 7.10, burn a CD, and start from that release.
[00:26] <artti> Snurglewozzle: I can't burn on CD.
[00:26] <artti> Snurglewozzle: i have nothing to backup either.
[00:26] <Snurglewozzle> artti: I see.  None of your friends have a CD burner?
[00:26] <Elad> or edit my ntfs partition first
[00:26] <nickrud> Elad: it will be automatically changed when you do the install, resizing windows and assigning partitions
[00:27] <j0hng4lt> only su can save to this folder, how can I make it where I can save to it from a program like quanta+ ?
[00:27] <DG19075> or if you can, burn the DVD image- less updates needed
[00:27] <artti> Snurglewozzle: My friends have.
[00:27] <Snurglewozzle> how about a USB thumb drive that's got 1GB of memory?
[00:27] <neil_d> j_humphrey: ok, does the router/modem get turned off regular ?
[00:27] <lyte> Snurglewozzle artti: i believe if you find the right form on ubuntu.com you can still have a cd posted out...
[00:27] <Elad> Nickrud: dont i need to specify how much space to give the partition tho?
[00:27] <j_humphrey> snurglewozzle, you have to do it in linux, you cant burn iso images in windows
[00:27] <j0hng4lt> would I use chown?
[00:27] <j_humphrey> neil_d. never
[00:27] <Snurglewozzle> It'll save you a lot of trouble to simply create a new 7.10 LiveCD and start fresh from there.
[00:27] <mysterycool> i downloaded ReactOS and i wanna make a virtual machine in order to run ReactOS without needed to make partitions on my hard disk. how can I do that?
[00:27] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: You can save to anything in your home directory.. if you can't you have an ownership problem.. fixable with 'sudo chown -R username:usergroup /home/username'
[00:27] <Elad> Nickrud: as of now the entire hd is a ntfs partition
[00:28] <artti> Snurglewozzle: But i see my friends after 30 hours.

[00:28] <nickrud> Elad: it's a gui tool, try it. If you knew to edit your grub boot line, you will have no problem understanding the partitioning gui
[00:28] <lyte> mysterycool: just use virtualbox, create a vdi image which is a file on your real hdd representing the "fake" hdd
[00:28] <Thanatos3762> Anyone know how to keep my processor speed from drawing down on idle?
[00:28] <Odd-rationale> artti: Have you considered unetbootin?
[00:29] <j0hng4lt> thanatos, y play aao?
[00:29] <DG19075> j_humphrey: there's an app called BurnCDCC which works very well in Windows to burn .iso images www. terabyteunlimited.com
[00:29] <nickrud> Elad: the new partition table will not be written without your explicit permission
[00:29] <j0hng4lt> u play aao?
[00:29] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: All you asked, that I saw, was how to make a directory you could save stuff to.  If you state the actual problem, perhaps someone could help you.
[00:29] <artti> Odd-rationale: Tried several times to do that.
[00:29] <j_humphrey> neil_d, i never turn it off
[00:29] <Thanatos3762> j0hng4lt> what?
[00:29] <Snurglewozzle> artti: then I recommend you burn a 7.10 cd at your friend's house.
[00:29] <MC_Lightning> http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-ca0106 i've installed this and still no multichannel sound :
[00:29] <MC_Lightning> can anyone help me?
[00:29] <artti> Odd-rationale: But it didn't found dnsmasq.conf
[00:30] <Elad> Nickrud: the solution I came up with was was in the forums you linked me :P
[00:30] <smayes3> Hi... I have somehow misconfigured usplash.. I now get only text after the grub menu.. no usplash ... same on shut down... I've tried reinstalling various packages and reconfiguring as well .. no luck... any geniuses here able to help me figure this out?
[00:30] <j0hng4lt> Okay, actual problem: I have a new apache install that has assigned localhost to /var/www, and I want to use it for testing php I write in quanta+.  quanta says I do not have permission to save to that folder...  How can I correct this?
[00:30] <artti> Snurglewozzle: I will do that.
[00:30] <j_humphrey> mc_lightning, dont ask to ask, just ask
[00:30] <MC_Lightning> o.O
[00:30] <BodomLaw> im getting poor dl speeds on utorrent from a private site i need some help
[00:30] <spaghetti_knife> How do I check which version of ubuntu I'm using?
[00:30] <Bodsda> hey, does anyone here have any knowledge of gvba? im getting really low speeds out of it, and cant find a way to increase them
[00:30] <nickrud> spaghetti_knife:   lsb_release -a    in a terminal
[00:30] <gold44> what's in the ubuntu dvd? where can i get a list of packages on the dvd?
[00:31] <spudratic0> is there a way to boost audio from the sound card tried all the sliders at 65% of volume I can barely hear it when in windows I could hear it at 15or 20 % any suggestions on reading as really can't read the irc screen that well it's me that can't see that well and would like some reading material so I can magniphy it thanks
[00:31] <lyte> j0hng4lt: best practise would be to (as root) set the owner of that directory to your user and the group as the apache user
[00:31] <lyte> s group
[00:31] <neil_d> j_humphrey: OK, there are two ways this can be done, you can register with a free DNS provider, to get a name like http://jow.dyndns.org (or many others) or you can use http://273.132,12,11, you will also need to alter the config of the modem/router so it knows to which computer to seed accesses to port 80 and 443 to.
[00:31] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: Ok.. 'sudo chown -R username:usergroup /var/www'
[00:31] <MC_Lightning> how do i enable surround sound?
[00:31] <Ferilad>  hello. i downloaded ubuntu from the website and burned it to a CD, but i can't boot it. can you guys tell me what should i do?
[00:31] <j0hng4lt> lyte: thx and how?
[00:31] <MC_Lightning> i have a sound blaster live 24 bit 7.1
[00:31] <astro76> j0hng4lt: check first it might be set up with a group owner already, ls -ld /var/www
 try the pcm
[00:31] <MC_Lightning> and i only get sound from the front channels
[00:31] <lyte> j0hng4lt: with the command FourX4Luvn gave you
[00:31] <khaotik> is there a way to watch Internet television using Ubuntu??
[00:31] <gold44> how to convert flash video to audio mp3?
[00:31] <DranDane_> How can I repear or create a new boot sector from the liveCD of ubuntu ?
[00:31] <j0hng4lt> astro76: it is root root
[00:32] <Dr_Willis> khaotik,  depends on what site is showing what, and how its showing it..
[00:32] <smayes3> Ferilad: make sure your BIOS is set to allo a boot from the CD Drive and also make sure the CD burned perfectly ... not too fast
[00:32] <astro76> j0hng4lt: make it root:www-data
[00:32] <spudratic0> pan lol whats the pcm and how do I get to it or better yet a page that explains it thanks
[00:32] <isthisnickvalid> Hi people!
[00:32] <artti> Hi.
[00:32] <Thanatos3762> hello person
[00:32] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[00:32] <astro76> j0hng4lt: then make yourself a member of that group
[00:32] <j0hng4lt> okay now it is jason jason
[00:32] <IndyGunFreak> isthisnickvalid: no its not.. :)
[00:33] <MC_Lightning> how can i enable multi-channel sound in ubuntu? i have a sound blaster live 24 bit and i only get sound from the front channels..
[00:33] <spaghetti_knife> I'm wondering: do I have to open the feisty and edgy repositories if I'm installing tor on gutsy? Here's the link to the source of my confusion: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR
[00:33] <j0hng4lt> astro, okay, how to add to that group?
[00:33] <BodomLaw> im getting poor dl speeds on utorrent from a private site i need some help
[00:33] <isthisnickvalid> I have a Dell inspiron 1520 with windows vista and it has 4 partitions (with factory stuff, such as Dell Media Direct) I don't want to delete any of it, is there any safe way to install ubuntu? Will Grub work well with vista?
[00:33] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: edit /etc/groups and add your username after the entry for www-data
[00:33] <IndyGunFreak> BodomLaw: does everything else download good?
[00:33] <astro76> j0hng4lt: it's pointless if you make it owned by jason:jason
[00:33] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: You'll have to log out and back in for the changes to be seen
[00:33] <Ferilad> smayes3: yeah i did set it up as you said but instead of booting it just flashes back to XP welcome screen. (I burned my disc in 8x)
[00:34] <isthisnickvalid> I've been reading but 4 partitions are master and it says I have to delete one of them...
[00:34] <jacob_> FourX4Luvn i runned vncviewer for linux, what do i type in into the vnc server?
[00:34] <BodomLaw> yes
[00:34] <j0hng4lt> I made it owned by jason jason and it worked, but you say that is not the best way to do it?
[00:34] <BodomLaw> it deos
[00:34] <MC_Lightning> how can i enable multi-channel sound in ubuntu? i have a sound blaster live 24 bit and i only get sound from the front channels..
[00:34] <Dr_Willis> BodomLaw,  you may want to check the wine forums/guides - i also recall the utorrent web site having some forums on using it with wine
[00:34] <BodomLaw> my port is fowarded
[00:34] <IndyGunFreak> isthisnickvalid: grub will wrk with vista fine... i've never heard of needing to delete a partition.
[00:34] <DranDane_> How can I repear or create a new boot sector from the liveCD of ubuntu ?
[00:34] <FourX4Luvn> jacob_: The server is Windows, right?
[00:34] <heartsblood> what do you call those programs that seem to float ontop of a persons desktop?  widgets?
[00:34] <IndyGunFreak> heartsblood: yes
[00:34] <Dr_Willis> heartsblood,  widgets, desklets, applets,  gdesklets
[00:35] <IndyGunFreak> !gdesklets | heartsblood
[00:35] <ubotu> heartsblood: gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/
[00:35] <yoluca> BodomLaw are you using utorrent via wine ?
[00:35] <neil_d> IndyGunFreak: he will if all four are masters and he wants another partition for ubuntu
[00:35] <spudratic0> thanks all and pan I think you gave me enought to go on thank you
[00:35] <BodomLaw> yes i am
[00:35] <thebest_> hey
[00:35] <LjL> j0hng4lt: i'm not entirely sure why ubuntu comes with /var/www owner by root:root by default... but what you should do, i think, is make it owned by root:www-data, and add your user to the www-data group
[00:35] <dasickis> hey
[00:35] <FourX4Luvn> neil_d: You mean 'primary' :)
[00:35] <MC_Lightning> how can i enable multi-channel sound in ubuntu? i have a sound blaster live 24 bit and i only get sound from the front channels..
[00:35] <DranDane_> What is the difference between the ext2 and ext3 partition type ?
[00:35] <yoluca> BodomLaw ok, did you tried qbittorent ?
[00:35] <neil_d> FourX4Luvn: yes.
[00:35] <IndyGunFreak> neil_d: may be, i really don't know.. i dont' dual boot, but doesn't make much sense
[00:35] <IndyGunFreak> to have 4 masters
[00:35] <FourX4Luvn> DranDane_: ext3 is ext2 with journaling.. basically
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> DranDane_,  ext3 has a journel and so is a little more reliable.
[00:36] <nickrud> LjL: other way, www-data:root is correct, for allowing apache to write to /var/www (like with drupal or others)
[00:36] <dasickis> Is there a command that can tell you a person's wireless interface?
[00:36] <dasickis> I need it for an app I'm developing
[00:36] <BodomLaw> no i havent
[00:36] <DranDane_> Thank you.
[00:36] <BodomLaw> should i
[00:36] <dasickis> for any given ubuntu computer or is it default to eth1?
[00:36] <LjL> j0hng4lt: see nickrud
[00:36] <GuyFromHell> which package contains modules (for wireless cards)
[00:36] <MC_Lightning> how can i enable multi-channel sound in ubuntu? i have a sound blaster live 24 bit and i only get sound from the front channels..
[00:36] <schilling> hello
[00:36] <yoluca> BodomLaw my fav one
[00:36] <dasickis> I tried googling a number of things nothing showed up
[00:36] <BodomLaw> k ill try
[00:37] <dasickis> that worked
[00:37] <FourX4Luvn> jacob_: The server is Windows, right?
[00:37] <BodomLaw> can i sudo apt it?
[00:37] <neil_d> IndyGunFreak: its a limit of the partitioning system (thanks to MS). if you want more than four partitions a primary has to be split into secondary partitions.
[00:37] <schilling> can anyone help me with ubuntu 7.10 and hamachi
[00:37] <BodomLaw> apt-get watever
[00:37] <spaghetti_knife> Anyone try installing tor on gutsy?
[00:37] <yoluca> BodomLaw if you add the repos to your source list , then yes
[00:37] <astro76> nickrud: in that case how is his user going to be able to write being a www-data group member?
[00:37] <neil_d> j_humphrey: you still there ?
[00:37] <IndyGunFreak> neil_d: i see, never dealt with that one before.
[00:37] <LjL> BodomLaw: which app?
[00:38] <Ferilad> do i need anything extra other than the ISO in order to install ubuntu on a PC?
[00:38] <FourX4Luvn> spaghetti_knife: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-tor-with-vidalia-gui-on-ubuntu.html
[00:38] <LjL> astro76: uhm you have a point too. is apache running as root to begin with, or www-data?
[00:38] <j_humphrey> neil_d, im still here, i was just setting up my dns
[00:38] <Dr_Willis> Ferilad,  well you need to burn the iso to a cd properly.
[00:38] <Dr_Willis> Ferilad,  or use some other method to install.
[00:38] <LjL> i'll answer my own question... www-data. but i don't know about the group
[00:39] <nickrud> astro76: the idea behind the www-data owner is about allowing apache to write to /var/www , not about users. Usuall 755 permissions, no group write
[00:39] <artti> Here, in Estonia time is 2:38 AM. :P
[00:39] <neil_d> j_humphrey: how did it go.
[00:39] <j_humphrey> neil_d, it went well
[00:39] <Syxx> does anyone know another why to install Steam without Win-Doors
[00:39] <icesword> artti, do not know where is it
[00:40] <LjL> nickrud: well so if he wants to write himself, www-data:www-data should do?
[00:40] <nickrud> astro76: I just sudo copy stuff in, then change only the dirs that I need apache to write to. I got really freaky once and wrote acl's for /var/www, but that was overkill
[00:40] <artti> icesword: near Finland
[00:40] <neil_d> j_humphrey: do you know how to change the config of you modem ?
[00:40] <snkmad> Syxx msiexec /i steaminstall.msi
[00:40] <artti> icesword: next to Russia
[00:40] <j_humphrey> neil_d, yeah
[00:40] <dasickis> j_humphrey: Is there a command that can tell you a person's wireless interface?
[00:40] <icesword> artti, yeah
[00:40] <nickrud> LjL: yes, if the dirs get the right perms on them
[00:40] <dasickis> j_humphrey: I need it for an app I'm developing
[00:40] <LjL> nickrud: well a setuid group might help i suppose
[00:41] <artti> icesword: And where are you from?
[00:41] <icesword> artti, u guess
[00:41] <j_humphrey> dasickis, i dont know what you're talking about
[00:41] <M-Nagato> does anyone know why flashing windows would lag wine (i don't know if it's specific to wine, but it happens when playing world of warcraft)? it does it even in window mode
[00:41] <Syxx> what is that Snkmad
[00:41] <artti> icesword: america, england?
[00:41] <snkmad> Syxx its wine
[00:42] <icesword> artti, why u guess that,there are so many countries
[00:42] <Syxx> is it a command line
[00:42] <FourX4Luvn> Ok guys.. I have a problem.  I do lots of work with remote X.  Running several X servers on my workstation and running remote apps from several different computers.. All this wasn't a problem until I was tasked with doing the same thing with a Mac OS X machine.  I can't seem to find any information where the Mac is the one serving the applications.  Anyone have any resources they could point me to?
[00:42] <dasickis> j_humphrey: Is there a command that allows you to find out a person's interface?
[00:43] <dasickis> j_humphrey: like mine is eth1 but is it different on different PCs
[00:43] <dasickis> j_humphrey: or is it always eth1?
[00:43] <artti> icesword: Yeah, there's Vatikan but it is so small. You probrably won't live there.
[00:43] <DranDane_> How can I repear or create a new boot sector ?
[00:43] <j_humphrey> dasickis, i have no idea, im just trying to set up a server
[00:43] <neil_d> j_humphrey: let me know when you get that right, who did you setup the DNS with ?
[00:43] <heartsblood> IndyGunFreak, I checked gdesklets site and it doesn't seem like they have very many desklets.  I was wondering if you had ever seen a widget that would work with evolution, specifically the daily/weekly events.
[00:43] <dasickis> o ok
[00:43] <FourX4Luvn> dasickis: No, it's different depending on their setup.  What if you just prompt the usr to enter the information themselves?
[00:43] <j_humphrey> neil_d, i set it up with dynedns
[00:43] <icesword> artti, right click on my name ,see
[00:43] <Syxx> Snkmad the is what i get
[00:44] <artti> iceswrod: Maybe you live in China? Japan?
[00:44] <Syxx> http://pastebin.ca/906825
[00:44] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: I'm trying to create an app so that they just run it
[00:44] <artti> icesword: Country unknown.
[00:44] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn:  I was thinking to do an ifconfig and find the second interface
[00:44] <GuyFromHell> nevermind, a make uninstall on the iwl4965 folder fixed my problem...
[00:44] <israfil> whats a good IDE C++ for linux/ubuntu
[00:44] <icesword> artti, then whois my ip
[00:44] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: Basically I need something to figure out all the wireless networks they can see
[00:44] <FourX4Luvn> dasickis: Then perhaps write it to take the interface as an argument.  The wireless interface is not always second.  It may be first, it may be third.
[00:45] <thegothguy> hey i have an ubuntu install problem
[00:45] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: Basically the same way networkmanager does
[00:45] <prince_jammys> dasickis: see if you can somehow use the output of --> ip addr show
[00:45] <astro76> israfil: kdevelop, anjuta
[00:45] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: that's what i thought
[00:45] <dasickis> prince_jammys: i'll try now
[00:45] <prince_jammys> dasickis: there's bound to be something more efficient
[00:45] <speeddemon8804> !linksys > speeddemon8803
[00:46] <FourX4Luvn> dasickis: That's all I can t hink of myself, because there's no telling where it will be detected.. Or even which one would be the right one (for instance if they have two wireless interfaces).
[00:46] <israfil> kdevelop is that for kde?
[00:46] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: So how should I consult the user to find their wireless interface?
[00:46] <Syxx> snkmad you there
[00:46] <thegothguy> im trying to install to an externa hd and my install gets between 15% to 78% and stops responding any sugguestions?
[00:46] <artti> icesword: WhoIs doesn't give me any country name.
[00:46] <neil_d> j_humphrey: do you want automatic update of the DNS when your IP changes, or will you do it manually ?
[00:47] <FourX4Luvn> dasickis: Well, it depends on how you want to write the program.  you could write it to take the interface as an argument on the command line.. Or have it prompt them at the right time.. Or write a preferences panel...
[00:47] <Liono_> need help. stuck for an hour
[00:48] <icesword> artti, then u go to some whois site,like u google whois,then use that whois my ip
[00:48] <FourX4Luvn> artti: You're on the right track though.. Try traceroute :)
[00:48] <Liono_> i need a script that runs on boot. and soon after kde lauches and desktop is visible, it locks screen. 2. i need the script to lock screen 'after every 30 minuts of unlock'    is this right :?
[00:48] <Liono_>   activate screen "DISPLAY=:0.0 kdesktop_lock --forceunlock"
[00:48] <Liono_>   set timeout "at now +60min 'kdesktop_lock --forcelock'"
[00:48] <Syxx> can someone help me with installing Steam
[00:48] <j_humphrey> neil_d, i'll do it automatically
[00:49] <j_humphrey> neil_d, but i dont have access to opening ports on the modem, so i think its futile to try it now
[00:49] <Snurglewozzle> Be back later, my friends.
[00:49] <artti> FourX4Luvn: Traceroute doesn't have affect.
[00:49] <eradicus> hi i'm getting  error: linux/module.h: No such file or directory while compiling a module, i have the complete kernel headers and sources, what could be the problem?
[00:50] <icesword> artti, i am in china
[00:50] <FourX4Luvn> ack!  what the heck kind of Linux distro doesn't install traceroute by default?
[00:50] <crimsun_> FourX4Luvn: use tracepath instead.
[00:51] <FourX4Luvn> interesting.. When did that become the norm?
[00:51] <eradicus> FourX4Luvn, ubuntu
[00:51] <FourX4Luvn> eradicus: Thank you.  :-P
[00:51] <smayes3> Ferilad: disable all other boot sources in the BIOS other than the CD Drive
[00:51] <BodomLaw> so um qbittorent got even worse speeds
[00:51] <FourX4Luvn> crimsun_: Thanks
[00:52] <FourX4Luvn> artti: Best guess.. he's from somewhere near Hanoi
[00:52] <crimsun_> FourX4Luvn: if you /must/ have traceroute, there're the paris-traceroute, tcptraceroute, traceproto, traceroute-nanog, and mtr packages to consider.
[00:53] <crimsun_> FourX4Luvn: of those, likely traceroute-nanog is your better bet.
[00:53] <FourX4Luvn> crimsun_: No.. tracepath works fine.. I just have never heard of it.. I cut my teeth on traceroute and that's all I've ever used.
[00:53] <Elad> jesus i cant find bootcamp anywhere
[00:53] <FourX4Luvn> Elad: Try Paris Island
[00:53] <artti> FourX4Luvn: Hanoi? Capital of Vietnam?
[00:54] <eradicus> hi i'm getting  error: linux/module.h: No such file or directory while compiling a module, i have the complete kernel headers and sources, what could be the problem? anyone who encountered the same?
[00:54] <FourX4Luvn> artti: Well, tracepath shows it routing through Hanoi just a couple hops away from you.
[00:54] <FourX4Luvn> artti: Err.. not you... icesword
[00:54] <neil_d> j_humphrey: ok, you will need to install something to do that for you (dhclient I think), I will try and find it for you.
[00:55] <j_humphrey> eradicus:: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-147364.html
[00:55] <j_humphrey> neil_d, no, i dont have access on my router firewall

[00:56] <FourX4Luvn> Oh my... I was trying to help artti guess where you're at, icesword
[00:56] <neil_d> j_humphrey: that fairly much stops you, do you think you will be able to get it though.
[00:56] <FourX4Luvn> icesword: By using comonly available network tools
[00:57] <icesword> FourX4Luvn, u are not hacking ,are u

[00:59] <cwillu> pros977, ssh -t should do it
[00:59] <IndyGunFreak> BodomLaw: are you sure its not a cap on the site your accessing?
[00:59] <BodomLaw> absolute
[00:59] <BodomLaw> good private tracker
[00:59] <artti> How old are everyone?
[00:59] <IndyGunFreak> is utorrent configured properly?
[00:59] <pros977> cwillu I've got over 60 computers I execute commands on at once
[00:59] <Phrantik> 24
[00:59] <FourX4Luvn> BodomLaw: Or your share ratio, for that matter
[00:59] <icesword> 22
[00:59] <cwillu> pros977, cssh is your friend :p
[00:59] <BodomLaw> i have a 2.5 ratio
[00:59] <icesword> artti, why ask that
[00:59] <neil_d> j_humphrey: oh rats, I would suggest finding out what the default password is for that modem/router and see if that works
[00:59] <gold44> what packages are in ubuntu-server iso ?
[01:00] <pros977> cwillu can you help me with and example
[01:00] <BodomLaw> much higher than needed to be a "power user"
[01:00] <artti> icesword: I have boring.
[01:00] <cwillu> pros977, but -t should let you type on those commands, or just use -phigh to force dpkg to default them
[01:00] <icesword> artti, ?
[01:00] <j_humphrey> neil_d, its not terror: linux/module.h: No such fileerror: linux/module.h: No such file or directory while compiling a moduleerror: linux/module.h: No such file or directory while compiling a module default one or directory while compiling a modulehe
[01:00] <j_humphrey> neil_d, its not the default one*
[01:00] <neil_d> j_humphrey: the auto DNS update package is ddclient
[01:00] <pros977> cwillu you rock
[01:00] <pros977> cwillu phigh it is
[01:00] <cwillu> pros977, look at cluster-ssh in the repository too
[01:00] <BodomLaw> and my port is forwarded
[01:00] <artti> iceswrod: i have nothing do to.
[01:00] <Liono_> how to auto run a script at boot and keep it running when a user logs in.  (in a way that the user or any other user cant stop that script from running or delete the file or logs out of it)?
[01:01] <artti> I just(about 24 hours ago) got 19. =)
[01:01] <Flannel> !bum | Liono_
[01:01] <ubotu> Liono_: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[01:01] <pros977> cwillu I've heard of that
[01:01] <j_humphrey> neil_d, what did you just ssay about the default thing? pidgin just crashed
[01:01] <pros977> cwillu I have passwordless authentication on all my machines
[01:01] <BodomLaw> there is tons of seeders for both torrents
[01:01] <pros977> cwillu then I wrote a script that goes out and contacts each machine sequentially
[01:01] <cwillu> pros977, cssh is just a wrapper around ssh, so ud_rsa/dsa will still work
[01:01] <icesword> artti, that is good,u can have girl friend now
[01:01] <thegothguy> need help on instal ubuntu to external hd
[01:02] <cwillu> pros977, parallelize that stuff :p
[01:02] <neil_d> j_humphrey: I use xchat,  I would suggest finding out what the default password is for that modem/router and see if that works
[01:02] <artti> icesword: I can!? :D
[01:02] <Liono_> Flannel if i make a script run as sys service. not one can stop it. ?
[01:02] <pros977> cwillu why parallelize?
[01:02] <BodomLaw> at the risk of being obnoxious HELP ME!!!
[01:02] <pros977> cwillu thanks for the advice btw
[01:02] <cwillu> pros977, sequential must take forever
[01:02] <FourX4Luvn> Ok guys.. I have a problem.  I do lots of work with remote X.  Running several X servers on my workstation and running remote apps from several different computers.. All this wasn't a problem until I was tasked with doing the same thing with a Mac OS X machine.  I can find all kinds of information about how to access applications from the Mac, but I can't seem to find any information where the Mac is the one serving the applications.  Anyo
[01:02] <icesword> artti, what is u mother languauge
[01:02] <BodomLaw> its hitting 50kB when it should be at 42kB/s
[01:02] <artti> icesword: Estonian.
[01:03] <Flannel> Liono_: If its running as root, then you'd need to be able to sudo to stop it.  And you can remove people's abilities to tweak it through sudoers, even while giving them the ability to sudo in general if you'd like.
[01:03] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, arbitrary mac programs?  not sure you can do that
[01:03] <icesword> artti, there are so many languauges
[01:03] <cwillu> pros977, np
[01:03] <artti> icesword: Yes... Over 5000
[01:03] <pros977> cwillu I suffix all my commands with the & symbol
[01:03] <artti> icesword: i can say something in estonia.
[01:03] <Liono_> Flannel ya.. ic.. but that script will run when i (admin) log in too.? i dont want that
[01:03] <icesword> artti, many of them are dieing
[01:03] <cwillu> pros977, okay, ya
[01:03] <pros977> cwillu so, if I run eject on every computer in the room, all the drives pop out at once
[01:04] <cwillu> pros977, seriously, look at cssh
[01:04] <redwyrm> hi. I'm trying to produce a CD image where all files are in ASCII-betical order, but mkisofs doesn't provide a way to do that. any ideas?
[01:04] <Flannel> Liono_: It will be running all the time, regardless of anyone logged in or not.
[01:04] <pros977> cwillu I will
[01:04] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: Yes.. Basically.. I want a vnc session with the Mac serving the applications.. but I don't want VNC because I want a seperate session.. I don't want to share or take over the session that the user at the Mac is using.
[01:04] <cwillu> pros977, basic usage is as simple as "cssh host1 host2 host3 host4"
[01:04] <cwillu> pros977, and then yo get 4 windows + a control window, and if you type in the control window, it goes to all of them
[01:04] <Liono_> Flannel ic.. nice idea..
[01:04] <pros977> cwillu dpkg --configure -a --phigh
[01:04] <BodomLaw> !
[01:04] <pros977> cwillu ?
[01:05] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, you might have to look at the mac "x server" (not to be confused with X as in the display server)
[01:05] <artti> There's estobuntu.
[01:05] <neil_d> j_humphrey: did you get the message that ddclient is the does the auto updates if the DNS
[01:05] <uni_674> what version of GTK does ubuntu 7.10 gutsy gibbon come w/ ?
[01:05] <Liono_> Flannel is there  a way that in a user login say 'user1' who is not root or admin. a script is run by a sudoer /admin on boot (so he cant stop it) ?
[01:05] <cwillu> pros977, looks right,
[01:05] <pros977> cwillu nope
[01:06] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: You mean Mac OS 10 server?  The OS.. (I use '10' to avoid confusion with 'X')
[01:06] <FourX4Luvn> ?
[01:06] <cwillu> yep
[01:06] <artti> Dam, i should install Estobuntu.
[01:06] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, but I have no idea what they'd support
[01:06] <Flannel> Liono_: Like I said, the script will run at boot, and runs constantly regardless of anyone being logged in or not.  It will run as whatever user you set it up to run as, and assuming thats not the user, they won't be able to fiddle with it.
[01:06] <FourX4Luvn> damn
[01:06] <neil_d> artti: what is estobuntu ?
[01:06] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, under windows, there's a hack you can apply to get 3 sessions out of a normal xp workstation, otherwise you need terminal services
[01:07] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, it's usually a big ticket item, doing what you want to do
[01:07] <pros977> cwillu dpkg: conflicting actions -p (--print-avail) and -
[01:07] <artti> neil_d: It is translated gutsy, firefox and other several things to my mother language
[01:07] <adub> why do values in a host machines internal arp table expire after several minutes?
[01:07] <j_humphrey> neil_d, it wasnt the default one
[01:07] <cwillu> pros977, ya, I was thinking dpkg-reconfigure
[01:08] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: Right.. I am working from ubuntu.. and I have several other *NIX systems that serve a desktop to my ubuntu workstation.. I was hoping to do the same with the Mac.  I want to administer the Mac without disturbing my wife's work, is what I'm trying to do.
[01:08] <neil_d> artti: ok! thanks
[01:08] <cwillu> pros977, man dpkg, search ('/' key) for force, and look at the conf stuff
[01:08] <artti> neil_d: http://estobuntu.org/estobuntu-english
[01:08] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, ya;  honestly, this isn't gonna be the best channel for advice on that
[01:08] <neil_d> j_humphrey: I don't know how you can get around that.
[01:08] <Liono_> Flannel oh ic.  got an idea. i make the rc.local run as admin.   it will run on user1 too. but he wont be able to stop it. but when i log in. i can stop it?
[01:08] <Dr_willis> rc.local allready runs as admin
[01:08] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, pros977 I gotta run right away;
[01:09] <narothepharoh> is there a gentoo channel ?
[01:09] <cwillu> pros977, that man page should give you what you need
[01:09] <Dr_willis> everything in rc.local gets ran as root.
[01:09] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: I know.. but I don't know where else to ask either  heh.  Searching google, as I said, only gives me answers for going the other way
[01:09] <pros977> cwillu thanks
[01:09] <narothepharoh> #Gentoo
[01:09] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: Thank you for the input though
[01:09] <j0hng4lt> can any1 help me with the following error when starting quake2: could not mmap /dev/dsp
[01:09] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, you could try doing admin stuff via ssh, just from the terminal
[01:09] <Mark_Milliman> is there a command line option to force an upgrade?  I had a device crash ubuntu (not upgrades fault) in the middle of going from 7.10 to 8.04.
[01:09] <cwillu> but that' all I got for ideas
[01:09] <j0hng4lt> using restriced driver for nvidia
[01:09] <Flannel> Liono_: No.  It only runs once.  Your script will be running constantly, as root (or whatever).  Your unprivs users can't touch it.  You could via sudo if you'd like.  But, of course, you'd be stopping it for everyone when you did so, not just yourself.
[01:09] <Mark_Milliman> All packages downloaded but many did not install
[01:09] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, try #macosx
[01:09] <gold44> anyone running ubuntu server?
[01:10] <Flannel> !anyone | gold44
[01:10] <mike_> gold44: yes
[01:10] <ubotu> gold44: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:10] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: I do that already, but Mac is so gui-centric that I just can't figure out how to do some things without the gui tools.
[01:10] <artti> So... everybody have problems...
[01:10] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: Ok.. thank you
[01:10] <tonyyarusso> gold44: I do.  Any particular question?

[01:10] <ali1234> hi. i tried to install apt-file and it has seemingly frozen at "Setting up apt-file (2.0.8.2ubuntu2)" i suspect it is trying to download a huge file on my gprs connection. is this correct?

[01:10] <gold44> how is server? doe it come with gui? or just stay at console after boot?
[01:10] <LjL> gold44: console

[01:10] <Liono_> Flannel yes. i stoped it and its stopped for every one. but the system reboots. and the script will start again ?
[01:10] <j0hng4lt> I am assuming that the error has to do with my video card...
[01:10] <Flannel> Liono_: yes
[01:11] <j0hng4lt> liono\
[01:11] <tonyyarusso> gold44: You can add X if you wish, but general practice is not to.
[01:11] <Flannel> gold44: The server is regular Ubuntu with a server specific kernel, no GUI stuff installed by default, and the CD allows a few pre-fab server packages installed by default
[01:11] <Liono_> Flannel thanks. so nice of you to explain
[01:11] <tonyyarusso> gold44: All of the packages and such are the same - the only difference is the default setup.
[01:11] <gold44> tonyyarusso: i want to run server. currently running desktop on lappy
[01:12] <Liono_> Flannel can you help me with some scripting issue?
[01:12] <uni_674> how do i get GTK 2.12 then LjL
[01:12] <LjL> uni_674: you already have it.
[01:12] <Liono_> j0hng4lt talking to me?
[01:12] <Flannel> Liono_: You'd probably get better help in #bash, or whatever other language you're writing in
[01:12] <uni_674> then why is aurora trying to tell me i cannot compile it because i dont have GTK 2.10
[01:12] <Liono_> Flannel no. i cant find help there
[01:12] <j0hng4lt> liono, no, was going to, hit enter by accident
[01:13] <LjL> uni_674: wait, wait, one thing is having a library, another thing is having the *C headers* to compile C programs using that library.
[01:13] <j0hng4lt> any1 have quake 2 working?
[01:13] <gold44> tonyyarusso: i probably need to apt-get a bunch of things after installation.  want to use as web / file server, maybe as mail server too

[01:13] <chao1> How do I install vmware

[01:14] <LjL> !vmware > chao1    (chao1, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:14] <Davo_Dinkum> does wget http://gertjan.freezope.org/replicator/http-replicator_3.0_i386.deb work for anyone else?
[01:14] <Dr_willis> j0hng4lt,  that game is so old - its proberly trying to access the sound card wrongly. You could disable the sound to see if it works. also there MAY be updated GPL variants of Quake2 that just use the old versions data files.
[01:14] <j0hng4lt> the oss sould output driver shows okay, failing on dev/dsp
[01:15] <Liono_> Flannel this script will do what? i want it to lock screen "after 30mins past the unlock event" and i want it to be running so that the screen will be locked every time after it has been unlocked (available) for 30 mins.   activate screen "DISPLAY=:0.0 kdesktop_lock --forceunlock"
[01:15] <Liono_>   set timeout "at now +60min 'kdesktop_lock --forcelock'"
[01:15] <j0hng4lt> any other games that have decent gui for linux that i can download?

[01:16] <Flannel> Liono_: Before you do that, have you checked to see if KDE has something like that already?
[01:16] <Dr_willis> Padman,  Tremulus,  lets see... One other...
[01:16] <Muzza> heard about nquake?
[01:16] <gimme_snuggles> j0hng4lt: i know of a great game, one of my favorites. Enemy Territory

[01:22] <Dr_willis> Hertta,  boot it up and see if it installs?
[01:22] <Liono_> Flannel lastly. can you tell me how to log all the "screen unlocking events"  for ever. and continuous even resumable after shutdowns ?
[01:22] <Hertta> Dr_willis it doesn't.
[01:22] <artti> Odd-rationale: Well that part is done.
[01:22] <Hertta> I want to know is it hardware related or am I running out of resources
[01:23] <FourX4Luvn> Thanks to whoever it was that suggested #macosx.  The figured out a workaround for me :)
[01:23] <Odd-rationale> artti: I can finish an upgrade on an newly installed system in about 30 min
[01:23] <Dr_willis> Hertta,  what dosent work on it? Youmay want to use the alternative isntall cd - its better for low-ram systems
[01:23] <Odd-rationale> artti: Is it installing?
[01:23] <artti> Odd-ratinale: currently is "setting up..."
[01:23] <geekworx> Hello people how can i RUN this game ( Counter Strike 1.6 ) from my Linux Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[01:24] <Odd-rationale> artti: Has it been like that long?
[01:24] <jpeterman> geekworx, Install Steam under WINE
[01:24] <prince_jammys> geekworx: windows game?
[01:24] <Hertta> The installation just "hangs", mouse is moving but the system does not respond. I tried trice to install but always the same thing. no CD/HDD usage eihther, and I have waited for over 45minutes each time it has hanged, and nothing has happened during that time
[01:24] <geekworx> prince_jammys, yes its windows game
[01:24] <geekworx> jpeterman, how to install that?
[01:24] <prince_jammys> geekworx: check the database at winehq/org
[01:24] <Hertta> I suspect is is hardware problem
[01:24] <geekworx> jpeterman, tell me the command example: apt-get isntall underwine?
[01:24] <jpeterman> geekworx, sudo apt-get install wine
[01:24] <prince_jammys> geekworx: winehq.org
[01:25] <artti> Odd-rationale: about 45 mins from internet and now 15 minutes installing, setting, updating...
[01:25] <jpeterman> geekworx, check winehq.org, like people are saying, but it should be pretty simple. download a .exe installer of Steam, then double click on it after installing Wine
[01:25] <geekworx> so when i install wine i can install counter strike ( windows game ) ?
[01:25] <Odd-rationale> artti: OK
[01:25] <geekworx> ok
[01:25] <jpeterman> geekworx, Correct. Wine inserts a compatibility layer. It's very easy, I have CS installed on Ubuntu
[01:26] <jpeterman> Hi, I'm not entirely sure which channel to ask this in. There's this extension for FF that only works on FF/Windows, so I installed the Windows version of FF under Wine. I tried to drag the extension onto FF, but it didn't work. Is there a way to add it some other way?
[01:26] <geekworx> jpeterman, aha thx dude i'm downloading and installing wine right now
[01:26] <artti> About 0.55 AM i installed Ubuntu on my computer. Now i upgrade.
[01:26] <fdsafds> How do I switch to Runlevel3?
[01:26] <Odd-rationale> jpeterman: Can you install it from the ff website?
[01:27] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: Sorry about that went out for pizza
[01:27] <n2diy> fdsafds: init 3
[01:27] <jpeterman> Odd-rationale, , I dont think the extension is on there
[01:27] <icesword> artti, i still awake
[01:27] <icesword> u
[01:27] <fdsafds> it didn't do anything
[01:27] <artti> icesword: me too.
[01:27] <icesword> artti, what version
[01:27] <fdsafds> It took it as a valid command but nothing happened.
[01:27] <artti> iceswrod: i should sleeping.
[01:27] <Odd-rationale> jpeterman: The extension (.xpi) is on your local hdd??
[01:27] <Elad> has anyone here ever ran Ubuntu under Vmware?
[01:27] <jpeterman> Odd-rationale, correct.
[01:28] <artti> icesword: Upgrading to 5.04
[01:28] <jonasjokoon> Hello
[01:28] <icesword> artti, u should,it is not good
[01:28] <fdsafds> I also tried loading in recovery mode but that put me in runlevel 1, when I tried to go to runlevel 3 it loaded gdm
[01:28] <fdsafds> any suggestions?
[01:28] <Odd-rationale> jpeterman: hmm. never had to to that myself. Where did you get it orginally?
[01:28] <artti> icesword: Yes, i sould sleep. Everyone here sleeps. But not me.
[01:29] <fdsafds> I would really like to get to run level 3 so that I can try installing a newer nvidia driver.
[01:29] <fdsafds> But when I try to do it, it says I am in run level 1.
[01:29] <icesword> artti, u computer won't get tired, not u
[01:29] <jpeterman> Odd-rationale, ESPN360.com. They have a proprietary movie player
[01:29] <fdsafds> It tells me a command to get to run level 3, but when I use it, it loads gdm.
[01:29] <Dr_willis> ubuntu dosent use the runlevels  the same way that most disrtos do
[01:29] <jonasjokoon> I have an Ibook g4 (apple mac thing), is it possible to install ubuntu with the 7.10 cd on this powerPC mchine ? I hve to tke the 32 bits version ?
[01:29] <Odd-rationale> jpeterman: Can you install it from there?
[01:29] <Dr_willis> go to runlevel 3, kill the gdm service.. there ya go
[01:30] <lookaway> hey, does anyone know how I can use DCC download a file with Xchat? I can't seem to do it...
[01:30] <artti> icesword: my ancient computer is just slow.
[01:30] <jpeterman> Odd-rationale, Hmm, when I click on the link, it displays just garbled stuff.
[01:30] <fdsafds> Dr_willis it brings up the login screen.
[01:30] <fdsafds> Would I be able to install the nvidia driver using run level 1?
[01:30] <Dr_willis> fdsafds,  kill the gdm service.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:30] <Odd-rationale> jpeterman: Don't know. Sorry :(
[01:30] <Dr_willis> fdsafds,  if you dont stop it.. it will restart.
[01:30] <icesword> artti, how could u say it ancient,u still got 256m ram
[01:31] <fdsafds> So when I am in run level 1 I type /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:31] <artti> icesword: and only 8GB disk space and 500Mzh
[01:31] <Odd-rationale> gtg
[01:31] <fdsafds> and then I type init 3?
[01:31] <icesword> artti, that cpu is slow
[01:31] <Dr_willis> fdsafds,  i dont mess with init levels.. if you want gdm to be not running you 'stop' the service - reguardless of the runlevel.
[01:31] <artti> icesword: i'm agree with you.
[01:31] <Dr_willis> fdsafds,  you could go to runlevel 3, then stop the service
[01:31] <Dr_willis> or to whatever runlevel you want. :) and stop the se5rvice
[01:31] <jonasjokoon> is it possible to install ubuntu on a mac ?
[01:32] <Dr_willis> !ppc | jonasjokoon
[01:32] <ubotu> jonasjokoon: 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
[01:32] <icesword> artti, u should use some small linux onit,like puppy,damn small linux
[01:32] <fdsafds> How do I run a command when I have the login screen in front of me?
[01:32] <Dr_willis> fdsafds,  use the console. alt-ctrl-f1

[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> artti: i would probably backup important files, and do a clean install of Gutsy, but thats just me
[01:42] <Timmothy> Greetings! Kay, so I just started using Ubuntu (7.10) and everything's good, 'cept for I tried to log into Megaupload.com, and for those who don't know, it uses flash. I installed the nonfree adobe plugin and restarted firefox, but it's all... gimpy. I'm not able to click login because of it. Is there another way to make it work, or am I just screwed?
[01:42] <artti> IndyGunFreak: haven't nothing to backup, and i can't directly to gutsy
[01:43] <Jupp2> are the screenlets part of the standard repositories?
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> artti: thats why i siad clean install.
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> then if you have no files, it should be relatively easy
[01:43] <neil_d> artti: its within bounds I suppose.  are you going to update further ?
[01:44] <artti> neil_d: i'll try
[01:44] <talisein> Hi, one of my RAID devices failed recently and I replaced it. But now every reboot the computer does not create the /dev/sdc1 device and the RAID needs to be reassembled.
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> updating from 5.04, to 5.10, then 6.06, then 6.10, then 7.04, then 7.10, willb e problematic at best, and will probably take freaking forever(if it even works).. it will be quicker to download a gutsy cd, burn it, and install from it.
[01:44] <artti> IndyGunFreak: i can't burn on CD, can't do floppy install, any other choices to get directly gutsy
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> why can't you burn a CD?
[01:45] <dabbill> any one got an idea why movie player wont keep sound and video sync when playing DVD's i have to pause and play the movie every 15mins or so to resync it.
[01:45] <maybeway36> artti: try the mini.iso
[01:45] <artti> IndyGunFreak: i have old computer.
[01:46] <talisein> you can install via usb drive if your computer will boot off one
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> maybeway36: but if he can't burn a CD, how will that work.
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> artti: how old?
[01:46] <artti> IndyGunFreak: i don't know. I got it free. 8Gb, 500Mhz, 256 RAM
[01:46] <neil_d> talisein: I have heard that a RAID rebuild can take a long time, has the rebuild finished before you turn the computer off.
[01:46] <artti> maybeway36: mini.iso?
[01:47] <talisein> neil_d, yes, I have let the reassembly finish several times before rebooting.
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> artti: ok..,  i think you'd still need to burn a cd for the mini-iso, but i could be wrong
[01:47] <ubuntufreak> I have an error using the VirtualBox in Ubuntu 7.10 as it needs to add vboxusers how do i do it
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> artti: so you don't have a CD drive, or its broken, or what?
[01:47] <foibles> hi there
[01:48] <neil_d> talisein: how about the controller are you sure its OK ?
[01:48] <artti> IndyGunFreak: i have cd drive
[01:48] <maybeway36> you could get the kernel and initrd off the mini.iso and put it on some other media
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok, it doesn't burn
[01:48] <foibles> im having trouble playing HD ("high definition") files
[01:48]  * Liono_ sees no one knows his problems in 11 channels and 4 networks 2500 users !
[01:48] <foibles> they come out messed up or doing play at all
[01:48] <foibles> why is this?
[01:48] <heartsblood> is it possible, when installing a package from apt, to automatically install recommended packages as well?
[01:48] <heartsblood> y
[01:48] <heartsblood> sorry wrong window
[01:48] <talisein> neil_d, I think the controller is fine. When I manually reassemble the RAID I can read files off of it fine
[01:49] <maybeway36> artti: are you going to install it ona that has internet access
[01:49] <maybeway36> *on a computer
[01:49] <artti> maybeway36: yes
[01:49] <prince_jammys> heartsblood: mmm aptitude does this, but i think apt-get doesn't
[01:49] <IndyGunFreak> artti: maybe you could try a debian net install,
[01:49] <maybeway36> artti: you should try unetbootin
[01:49] <maybeway36> it supports ubuntu, debian, etc.
[01:49] <IndyGunFreak> unetbootin?
[01:50] <maybeway36> ill find the url
[01:50] <heartsblood> prince_jammys, thanks I didn't realize there was a difference
[01:50] <artti> maybeway36: i tried before, but then there was problem with dnsmasq.conf
[01:50] <prince_jammys> heartsblood: there is -- it's best to stick to one or the other though, they can get in each other's way
[01:50] <gold44> has ubuntu server always been less than 650mb in the past?
[01:50] <artti> IndyGunFreak: well i could try that again
[01:50] <gold44> has ubuntu server iso file always been less than 650mb in the past?
[01:50] <IndyGunFreak> try what again?
[01:51] <maybeway36> artti: that's strange
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> artti: have you tried doing a debian floppy install maybe?
[01:51] <hmuller> crazy question: If ubuntu uses initramfs for boot, why is it named initrd?
[01:51] <prince_jammys> prince_jammys: aptitude does it with the -r option
[01:51] <neil_d> talisein: I have a software RAID 5 but its never failed, in about 5 years so I can't help much here.
[01:51] <maybeway36> artti: http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/lubi/unetbootin_ubuntu710rev99_all.deb
[01:51] <artti> IndyGunFreak: haven't floppys home and don't know where those to buy
[01:51] <maybeway36> hmuller: it's always names initrd I guess :P
[01:51] <talisein> I just have a simple RAID 1
[01:52] <prince_jammys> heartsblood: from man aptitude: " -r Treat recommendations as dependencies when installing new packages"
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> artti: you can buy floppies at any computer store.
[01:52] <talisein> googling tells me some people have a similar problem but no one answers them
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> maybeway36: so what does that file do
[01:52] <artti> IndyGunFreak: haven't seen those years
[01:52] <MedBook> Hello, whenever I load my Ubuntu disc and press "Start or Install Ubuntu" it takes me to "BusyBox 1.1.3" and does nothing from there, what am I doing wrong?
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> artti: they're still readily available at best buy, etc.
[01:53] <heartsblood> prince_jammys, yea I'm reading it now, ty.
[01:53] <threefcata> how can i set mplayer as the default player in gnome?
[01:53] <artti> inimesekene: Terekest.

[01:54] <ahorriblemess> what happens if I delete my alsa-utils/lib/drivers folders after I did the whole /configure, make, make install thing?
[01:54] <maybeway36> artti: no
[01:54] <ahorriblemess> do I lose everything or has it already been applied?
[01:55] <inimesekene> und pole, tegelt siin peaks rääkima vist inglise keeles... reeglid... muidu veel lüüakse välja
[01:55] <maybeway36> artti: that deb should let you boot to the Ubuntu installer from the GRUB menu once installed
[01:55] <donald_> ahorriblemess: u mean the folder where u unzip the tar files?
[01:55] <agroker> artti, "communarid aahju" all I can say in your language
[01:55] <ahorriblemess> yeah i unzipped them into my home folder
[01:55] <ahorriblemess> kinda dont want them there
[01:55] <prince_jammys> agroker: what language is it?
[01:56] <agroker> Pricey, estonian

[01:56] <agroker> artti, western ukraine
[01:57] <ahorriblemess> donald_: I'm not talking about the .tar folder, I mean the extracted folder with the package in it
[01:57] <ahorriblemess> donald_: just want to double check, things have been going smoothly lately
[01:57] <donald_> ahorriblemess: the modules etc get installed into other places
[01:57] <artti> maybeway36: and i download package UNetbootin Ubuntu 7.10?
[01:57] <niuq> hi, i have a problem with compiz-fusion, the themes just disappears, the title bar it does not appears in any window
[01:57] <maybeway36> Yes, make artti: sure its a .deb file
[01:58] <niuq> ubuntu-effects would be helpful?
[01:58] <ahorriblemess> donald_: ok great, sorry, I just wanted to be sure
[01:58] <ahorriblemess> thanks!
[01:58] <artti> maybeway36: unetbootin_ubuntu710rev99_all.deb
[01:58] <pawan> any software to convert audio bit rate
[01:58] <magick_> I'm hearing some static blips while playing music through ALSA on my intel-hda onboard sound card. The speakers aren't the problem and the mp3 is just fine so it comes down to ubuntu. Any ideas?
[01:58] <maybeway36> looks right
[01:58] <artti> maybeway36: you have experience?
[01:58] <maybeway36> artti: i've done this before
[01:58] <jport> Hey can someone help me? Once i add a job in /etc/cron.hourly it will automatically run or do i have to edit anything else ?
[01:58] <maybeway36> not much, but a couple times
[01:59] <maybeway36> it's pretty simple, toy reboot and  a new option is on your GRUB
[01:59] <artti> maybeway36: how long it takes?
[01:59] <tehcheez> portupgrade -a
[01:59] <tehcheez> SOrry, wrong channel.
[01:59] <maybeway36> artti: to install?
[02:00] <artti> maybeway36: yes
[02:00] <maybeway36> a while, it has to download all ubuntu componments online
[02:00] <donald_> tehcheez: portupgrade -arR is better
[02:00] <cpk1> using the stock feisty kernel and cant seem to get madwifi to work, tried using restricted modules and compiling madwifi from trunk svn but still cant insert ath_pci... any idea why?
[02:00] <artti> maybeway36: hours?
[02:00] <niuq_> while using compiz-fusion it suddenly the title bar disappears, any idea?
[02:00] <tehcheez> donald_: emerge world? :)
[02:00] <IndyGunFreak> maybeway36: what does that do, download the new OS, install it over the old one?
[02:00] <maybeway36> artti: depends on your interne speed
[02:00] <artti> Here it is 4.00 AM at morning.
[02:01] <maybeway36> artti: if you tell it do "use entire hard drive" yes
[02:01] <greenmanspirit_> why is libdvdcss not in the repos?
[02:01] <blubb0r> can i change the icon of a folder in ubuntu 7.10??
[02:01] <maybeway36> artti: you could also look at ShipIt to get a real ubuntu CD
[02:01] <donald_> niuq_: emerald installed? broken?
[02:01] <niuq_> donald_: it is installed
[02:01] <donald_> tehcheez: not a gentoo user..
[02:01] <artti> maybeway36: i takes weeks
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> maybeway36: artti i doubt shippit would work, only becuase he would need the alt. install CD, and they don't ship that.
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> artti: have you loooked onlien for a place to purchase the alt. install CD?
[02:01] <tehcheez> donald_: I have it sorta running :)
[02:01] <prince_jammys> blubb0r: right-click on it and properties, i think -- then click on the icon
[02:02] <MedBook> Whenever I try to boot the LiveCD of Ubuntu, the screen goes to "BusyBox 1.1.3" and does nothing after that, is there anything I can do to make it work?
[02:02] <artti> IndyGunFreak: haven't yet time to look that
[02:02] <donald_> tehcheez: sadistic arent u?
[02:02] <IndyGunFreak> artti: there's lots of places that have them.
[02:02] <maybeway36> artti: how fast is your internet conection?
[02:02] <BarryToeman> Anyone use claws-mail? Where does it store the actual mail files at?
[02:02] <artti> maybeway36: unetbootin_ubuntu710rev99_all.deb is downloaded. :)
[02:02] <greenmanspirit_> is libdvdcss not made for 64 bit machines?
[02:02] <maybeway36> artti: good
[02:02] <donald_> greenmanspirit_: for good reasons. it's in medibuntu
[02:03] <artti> maybeway36: 60-70kb/s maybe. I go take connecetion test.
[02:03] <greenmanspirit_> donald_: what reasons would there be not to compile it for 64 bit?
[02:03] <palpate> hello all
[02:03] <maybeway36> artti: it will take really long to downlaod then
[02:04] <agroker> artti, if you are on wifi are you sure that is a good idea to upgrade?
[02:04] <palpate> i just installed ubuntu on my ps3 and im looking for a good nntp binaries downloader somebody can help me ?
[02:04] <artti> agroker: with Unetbootin?
[02:04] <maybeway36> artti: it probably wont work on wifi - the installer doesn;'t have wireless support
[02:04] <donald_> greenmanspirit_: i dont know much abt 64bit. i dont use it even on a core2duo. too many things dont work on it
[02:04] <palpate> no problem i use wired connection
[02:04] <IndyGunFreak> artti: http://on-disk.com/product_info.php/products_id/366
[02:05] <artti> maybeway36: When i make network connection then i choose ethernet instead wireless
[02:05] <maybeway36> artti: if you have ethernet
[02:05] <agroker> artti, yes
[02:05] <greenmanspirit_> donald_: this is the first thing i have run into that is causing me problems on 64-bit ubuntu, for the most part they have made everything work
[02:05] <maybeway36> artti: but that site IndyGunFreak posted is probably a good idea
[02:05] <donald_> greenmanspirit_: java? flash?
[02:06] <donald_> greenmanspirit_: is 64 bit any faster?
[02:06] <greenmanspirit_> donald_: both installed for firefox without an issue
[02:06] <agroker> palpate, Gnus is the best :-)
[02:06] <donald_> greenmanspirit_: seems like time to try 64 bit.
[02:06] <palpate> anybody know a good newsgroup binaries downloader i can use on gnome ?
[02:07] <greenmanspirit_> donald_: i have noticed a speed boost on a few things, but not a ton, but i'm using a 2.4 dual core processor so that might be why its fast
[02:07] <agroker> palpate, gnus-gtk ;-)
[02:07] <Lycus> Anyone here ever setup a private bittorrent tracker?
[02:07] <salah_> I have always been wondering something. Why do I never dream when im drunk?
[02:07] <spaghetti_knife> I'm wondering: why does my updater have aids? It dls at 15 kB/s, then drops to 0.
[02:07] <palpate> ok ill try this ;) thx :p
[02:07] <agroker> salah_, you obviously dream
[02:07] <spaghetti_knife> Synaptic's fuxx0rzed.
[02:07] <blubb0r> bla\nbla
[02:07] <n2diy> salah_: you do, you just don't remember them.
[02:07] <spaghetti_knife> Anyone else have that problem?
[02:07] <salah_> agroker, why do I never remember them?
[02:07] <hmuller> salah_: because you've beat your subconscious into an alcoholic submission
[02:08] <MarcC> how do I install Batik? I can't find it in the repos
[02:08] <agroker> salah_, because alcohol switches your neocortex off and you sleep deeply
[02:08] <Dr_willis> MarcC,  compile it from source?
[02:08] <Gigi70> kubuntu or pclinuxos
[02:08] <pawan> any software to convert audio bit rate
[02:08] <salah_> agroker, neocortex?
[02:08] <aldacom> hola
[02:08] <spaghetti_knife> Anyone having trouble with synaptic?
[02:08] <agroker> salah_, conscious part of your brain
[02:08] <MarcC> Dr_willis: thanks, it's just odd that this would not be in the official repos...a google search indicates that it is/was
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> spaghetti_knife: no, working fine
[02:09] <spaghetti_knife> GRRR
[02:09] <spaghetti_knife> Okay, thanks.
[02:09] <tafgeek> how can I change the update manager settings?
[02:09] <agroker> spaghetti_knife, works great, I'd say
[02:09] <aldacom> dont speak spanish
[02:09] <prince_jammys> !es | aldacom
[02:09] <ubotu> aldacom: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[02:09] <spaghetti_knife> Okay. I'll see if uninstalling tor will do it.
[02:09] <tafgeek> I did and want to change them back and forget how I did it
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> spaghetti_knife: why would tor mess up synaptic?
[02:10] <aldacom> gracias uboto
[02:10] <salah_> and if I dream when im drunk.. Do I think like a drunk person in my dreams?
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> I don't know. synaptic just has AIDS right now. It's really annoying.
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> It all started when I got tor.
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> I think.
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> Maybe.
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> spaghetti_knife: i doubt its aids
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> Anyone able to cure PC aids?
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> its a user malfunction
[02:10] <gorilla> sounds like pebkac to me.
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> okay.
[02:11] <spaghetti_knife> you know how to cure it?
[02:11] <n2diy> salah_: try asking in #philosophy?
[02:11] <Tommis> Ubuntu rocks, good job pplz
[02:11] <prince_jammys> spaghetti_knife: sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-herpes
[02:11] <IndyGunFreak> spaghetti_knife: well, considering you've yet to really explain *WHAT* the problem is, i don't know if i can cure it, saying it has aids, while it appaerntly amuses you, tells the rest of us nothing
[02:11] <spaghetti_knife> Okay.
[02:12] <spaghetti_knife> Whenever I download anything over synaptic, update, install, anything, it starts out at 8-13 kB/s, and then slows down to 0.
[02:12] <spaghetti_knife> What should I do to diagnose the problem?
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> i doubt thats a problem w/ synaptic.
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> if it was a synaptic problem, it wouldn't start at all.
[02:13] <jak3> yes problem with ubuntu version, try rollback to 7.04
[02:13] <Flannel> spaghetti_knife: Try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, see what sort of speeds you get there
[02:13] <j0hng4lt> just got alien arena - not a bad game...
[02:13] <IndyGunFreak> jak3:  to my knowledge, its imposible to roll back to 7.04
[02:14] <spaghetti_knife> gutsy gibbon
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> j0hng4lt: try open-arena, its good.
[02:14] <spaghetti_knife> 11.4 kB/s
[02:14] <j0hng4lt> open-arena, can I apt-get it?
[02:14] <Blair`m> Hello... I'm trying to get my sister set up with a computer she got for $50 ^^' the only problem is with her USB network adapter
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> j0hng4lt: yup....
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> !info open-arena | j0hng4lt
[02:14] <ubotu> j0hng4lt: Package open-arena does not exist in gutsy
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> oops.
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> wrong package name.
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> but i know you can
[02:14] <spaghetti_knife> now 153 B/s
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> !info openarena | j0hng4lt
[02:15] <ubotu> j0hng4lt: openarena (source: openarena): A fast-paced 3D first-person shooter. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.0-4 (gutsy), package size 747 kB, installed size 1648 kB
[02:15] <Blair`m> it seems to automatically load the rt73 driver, and it connects to the network all right - my router registers its MAC address and everything
[02:15] <spaghetti_knife> Now 10.1kB/s
[02:15] <spaghetti_knife> It's realy slow
[02:15] <spaghetti_knife> And it goes up and down without logic
[02:15] <Blair`m> but it never gets to the point where it can load webpages or ping
[02:15] <artti> maybeway36: download 558 kb/s, upload 120kb/s
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> thats pretty good.
[02:15] <spaghetti_knife> Whenever I download things over rapidshare, it's really fast.
[02:15] <spaghetti_knife> 553 kB/s
[02:15] <tafgeek> how can I change the update manager settings; I did and want to change them back...can't remember how I did it
[02:16] <j0hng4lt> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:16] <j0hng4lt> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[02:16] <j0hng4lt> what does that mean?
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> j0hng4lt: lol, close synaptic
[02:16] <Dr_willis> j0hng4lt,  check out 'urbanterror' also - its not in the repos. You gotta download it from their web site.
[02:16] <Flannel> spaghetti_knife: Those are different servers you're getting them from.  Have you tried changing mirrors?
[02:16] <spaghetti_knife> how do i change mirrors?
[02:17] <j0hng4lt> is open arena like quake3 or something?
[02:17] <rsk> j0hng4lt: ye
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> j0hng4lt: yes.. its good, i like it.
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> j0hng4lt: i suck, but i like it.
[02:17] <j0hng4lt> i used to play america's army religiously - but they quit updating for linux
[02:17] <Liono_>  how to log all the "screen unlocking events"  for ever. and continuous even resumable after shutdowns ?
[02:17] <artti> well i go now sleep
[02:18] <Shau1> how do you set mplayer as the default in ubuntu?
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> Shau1: default for what?
[02:18] <Fare> what are the differences between ubuntu and debian, once installed?
[02:19] <Fare> I'm a debian user, but wanna know if ubuntu is better to install for my gf
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> Fare: not a whole lot.., Ubuntu is just a little more user friendly
[02:19] <spaghetti_knife> Flannel: How do I change mirrors?
[02:19] <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?
[02:19] <donald_> j0hng4lt: u tried to run package installer / updater as a normal user. doesnt work
[02:19] <Shau1> I am trying to use mplayer instead of totem and would like to set mplayer as the default video player.
[02:19] <Blair`m> Fare - Unless she's a leet h@x0r, ubuntu is it
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> Blair`m: i don't know, i'm far from l33t, and I really like Debian.
[02:20] <agroker> !tell Fare about debian
[02:20] <BarryToeman> Fare: if you have some extra bandwidth for the month you can try the livecd.
[02:20] <kostkon> spaghetti_knife, maybe from "system -> administration -> software sources"?
[02:20] <Flannel> spaghetti_knife: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors has a list, open up /etc/apt/sources.list and change the URLs (suggest commenting out the old ones, and duplicating)
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> kostkon: impossible, he said his synaptic has AIDS, no way that will work
[02:21] <kostkon> IndyGunFreak, oh, ok
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> :)
[02:21] <n2diy> IndyGunFreak: I didn't think Linux was prone to virii?
[02:22] <Dr_willis> n2diy,  its not 'prone' to them :)
[02:22] <IndyGunFreak> n2diy: lol, apparently his is, or it might have been his lame attempt at humor.
[02:22] <agroker> n2diy, linux virii usually attack between the cair and keyboard
[02:22] <xoai> lol
[02:22] <Dr_willis> PEBKAC
[02:22] <Shau1> I am trying to use mplayer instead of totem and would like to set mplayer as the default video player.
[02:22] <hmuller> Fare: the ubuntu livecd is a fair indication of what it is going to be like installed
[02:23] <n2diy> agroker: roger on the loose nuts between the chair and keyboard.
[02:23] <Shau1> Open to any suggestions?
[02:23] <spaghetti_knife> Okay, last time I had synaptic running in a terminal and I control-z'd it, the process still ran.
[02:23] <spaghetti_knife> How do I kill the process?
[02:23] <IndyGunFreak> Shau1: for what?.. avi's, for firefox, what?
[02:24] <cpk1_> !aptfix | spaghetti_knife
[02:24] <ubotu> spaghetti_knife: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[02:24] <Dr_willis> ctrl-z put it in the background
[02:24] <Shau1> I am using firefox
[02:24] <Fare> ok. What if I want to use my favorite debian lisp packages on her system? Can I just import a debian unstable sbcl in ubuntu?
[02:24] <Dr_willis> use the bg/fg command to bring it back
[02:24] <hmuller> Shau1: this looks promising: http://zebardast.wordpress.com/2007/11/22/how-to-change-gnome-default-media-player/

[02:24] <foo> I am having this extremly weird problem. It's as if keys are stuck on my keyboard, but they're not. eg. I press a letter and it duplicates, or something. This literally magically broke over night. I did an apt-get update && upgrade yesterday... I'm thinking that may have something to do with this. I tested RAM, no errors after 5 passes. I tried 3 keyboards, same error on all (broke one due to frustration). Any ideas on this? I'm out of ideas. If I boot into win
[02:25] <Fare> foo: same problem in console mode or not?
[02:25] <Fare> foo: might be some broken X kbd config
[02:25] <foo> Fare: I don't think so, no, let me see.
[02:26] <foo> Fare: I did try this, it was ok IIRC. It's just hard to see the problem, it takes a few minutes to happen... kind of spontaneous.
[02:27] <agroker> foo, did you try to look into /var/log  for clues?
[02:27] <foo> agroker: As I said, nothing weird in the logs. :/
[02:27] <foo> Fare: It's looking ok so far.
[02:27] <bzaks> Wasn't native dual monitor support added into Gutsy?
[02:28] <Fare> foo: are you using something like synergy or what else?
[02:28] <foo> Fare: No
[02:28] <dakotaUbuntian> If anyone needs help and wants to graphically show their problem: http://www.budgiephoto.com/   New, free image hosting. I just thought I would share the word.
[02:28] <Dr_willis> ive used dual montirs under linux - for years. :)
[02:28] <foo> dakotaUbuntian: That's not sharing, that's spamming.
[02:28] <Fare> foo: if you can try in console mode *after* the problem happens
[02:28] <bzaks> Dr_willis. Could you help me get my xorg set up? I tried a couple of tuts, is there one you know that works well?
[02:29] <Ashfire_Server> i restarted my ubuntu gateway and now i can only connect to it via a certian computer
[02:29] <Fare> to see if the problem persists when console switching or so
[02:29] <foo> Fare: Doing that now, no go.
[02:29] <Dr_willis> bzaks,  totally depends on your video card for starters.
[02:29] <foo> Fare: eg. not seeing anything strange here
[02:29] <Fare> what does "no go" mean?
[02:29] <bzaks> nvidea
[02:29] <bzaks> nvidia***
[02:29] <BarryToeman> Fare: you can use the Ubuntu alternate cd if you want a minimal install (command-line install in the menu) to build on.  best way in my opinion.
[02:29] <Ashfire_Server> could someone help be figure what i did wrong in iptables or route?
[02:29] <Fare> so if the console is fine after X breaks, it's an X-only problem
[02:29] <donald_> bzaks: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[02:29] <Mushrooms> I am having trouble with pidgin, is there anyone who can help me?
[02:29] <Dr_willis> bzaks,  theres an nvidia gui config tool that can enable the Twinview and other settings.
[02:29] <Narlzac85> My onboard sounds stopped working a while back (probably broken), so I've been using Microsoft Lifechat USB headset for sound. It only works in Totem and Exaile (probably rythmbox too, I forget). My question is this: Do you guys think that 8.04's new sound system will fix this issue for me? I have the headset set as the default output in sound settings, but I'm guessing that the applications that work are all using GStreamer
[02:29] <Dr_willis> bzaks,  use 'sudo nvid<tab>' to see what ones are installed.. IF you have the nvidia drivers isntalled they should beinstalled also
[02:30] <bzaks> Got the nvidia-glx-new installed. So I should just look for the nvid
[02:30] <Fare> is there a minimal netinstall CD, as in debian?
[02:31] <bzaks> dr_willis: settings?
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> Fare: i don't think so, but there might be.
[02:31] <bzaks> hey sweet!
[02:31] <bzaks> thanks Dr_willis
[02:31] <bzaks> you know ...
[02:31] <bzaks> I really should've thought of that on my own
[02:31] <bzaks> sorry everyone
[02:33] <gretsch_drums> hello, i am having an ubuntu (nvidia) problem and wondering if anyone can help
[02:33] <BarryToeman> Fare: no, unfortunately.
[02:33] <spaghetti_knife> Flannel: I changed mirrors, but it's still moving really, really slowly.
[02:34] <Mushrooms> oh noes >.< I think i did something epically bad to ubuntu
[02:34] <gretsch_drums> we have finally gotten the nvidia drivers to work in 7.10 ubuntu
[02:34] <gretsch_drums> but now (all of a sudden, when the drivers work), the desktop is extremely sluggish
[02:34] <gretsch_drums> with almost 3d effects
[02:34] <gretsch_drums> and the menus are slow to render
[02:34] <donald_> Mushrooms: u grew Mushrooms in it?
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> Mushrooms: well, share it with us so we can make fun of you
[02:35] <Ashfire_Server> do i have to reset a network interface after changing iptables?
[02:35] <amenado> nope
[02:35] <illriginal> Does anyone know if there's a converter for Ape to MP3?...
[02:35] <box-> anyone know if there is a good web design program for ubuntu ?
[02:36] <BarryToeman> Ashfire_Server: you have to restart iptables though.
[02:36] <Mushrooms> Yesterday i installed a package by the name of compiz something or other to try out the stuff they had on offer. But today when i booted my ubuntu, pidgin didn't seem to register any japanese, korean, or chinese characters anymore
[02:36] <Fare> is there an introductory course for beginners?
[02:36] <Ashfire_Server> BarryToeman: how
[02:36] <gretsch_drums> i used to use monkey audio on win32
[02:36] <amenado> BarryToeman-> one does not restart iptables, only change the rulez
[02:36] <gretsch_drums> for APE to mp3
[02:36] <gretsch_drums> not sure if it's on linux now or not though
[02:36] <Ashfire_Server> i was about to say
[02:37] <Mushrooms> so i uninstalled the package, restarted, to see if that was giving me the trouble
[02:37] <Ashfire_Server> is there something i have to do for iptables to take effect?
[02:37] <Mushrooms> but nothing has returned to normal... so i hope i haven't done anything epically bad
[02:37] <amenado> none
[02:37] <PKdoR> I need help I cant delete files/folders or make file/folder on my home dir
[02:37] <PKdoR> it says I dont have oermision
[02:37] <amenado> one makes the firewall rules and the effect is immediate
[02:38] <Ashfire_Server> well i can't connect though the system from one computer but i can from another
[02:38] <amenado> PKdoR-> its really your home dir? which file?
[02:38] <gretsch_drums> does anyone know if there are any 3D effects that ubuntu runs on the desktop, and that hog resources?
[02:38] <donald_> Mushrooms: dont see how compiz would hurt the other apps
[02:38] <BarryToeman> amenado: heh, i meant you have to make sure the new rules are actually saved
[02:38] <Liono_> how to change system log behaviour. to include things or details. verbose.  etc?
[02:38] <Ashfire_Server> !pastebin > Ashfire_Server
[02:38] <PKdoR> amenado, any files, every file/folder
[02:39] <amenado> BarryToeman-> saving firewall rulez and restarting are two different processes
[02:39] <jack-desktop> why is there two "disk" icons on my desktop?
[02:39] <Mushrooms> donald_: I didn't think so either, but I was out of ideas, and decided to uninstall it and see what happens, but it hasn't fixed the problem
[02:39] <amenado> Liono_-> man syslogd
[02:39] <Mushrooms> donald_: do you think it has anything to do with scim?
[02:39] <amenado> Liono_-> man syslogd or maybe now syslog-ng
[02:39] <Liono_> ok
[02:39] <tehcheez> donald_: Yes I am sadistic.
[02:40] <BarryToeman> amenado: thanks for then enlightenment.
[02:40] <amenado> PKdoR-> what is the permission of your /home/username
[02:40] <amenado> BarryToeman-> you're welcome
[02:40] <illriginal> Does anyone know if there's a converter for Ape to MP3?...
[02:40] <donald_> Mushrooms: try checking the language settings again
[02:41] <Mushrooms> donald_: Do you mean for ubuntu or for pidgin?
[02:41] <PKdoR> amenado, it says "rrot" on the properties window
[02:41] <amenado> PKdoR-> how did you get to manage changing your home permission unless you are looking at /home/root ?
[02:41] <Syxx> i need some help i downloaded Steam in my Ubuntu 7.10 i have it installed but when i log in , it says  loging in as  (username) and thats it then i have to force quite can anyone help me

[02:42] <PKdoR> amenado, it all stared by trying to install nero
[02:42] <Ashfire_Server> this is my iptables on the gateway system.
[02:42] <amenado> michael-> for one your video card has to support 3-d, then visit #compiz i believe
[02:42] <Ashfire_Server> http://pastebin.com/d27c96f66
[02:42] <Mushrooms> donald_: well in pidgin, I can't really find a place where i can tinker with language settings at all, but i guess for ubuntu it would be settings->administration-> language?
[02:42] <michael> Thankx
[02:43] <Syxx> i downloaded Steam in my Ubuntu 7.10 i have it installed but when i log in , it says  loging in
[02:43] <donald_> Mushrooms: yea. something like that. what language issues r u seeing?
[02:43] <AntLiOn> hello there. can someone help me with this problem that happened here: http://tinyurl.com/2am28f ? thanks
[02:43] <amenado> PKdoR-> do this  sudo chown -R  username.username /home/username
[02:44] <amenado> Ashfire_Server-> what exactly is the problem?
[02:44] <BagelMaster> No matter what media player I use, all my music always skips when I do a process on the computer, is there a very low-resource player that I haven't tried, or a way to fix this?
[02:44] <illriginal> Does anyone know if there's a converter for Ape to MP3?...
[02:44] <PKdoR> amenado, subtitut username for my ubuntu username?
[02:44] <amenado> AntLiOn-> same with you, what exactly is the issue?
[02:44] <amenado> PKdoR-> yes
[02:45] <Gast272> Hola
[02:45] <Mushrooms> donald_: When pidgin starts, I have some friends in Japan, and Korea, who have Japanese and Korean nicknames, It actually looks as large spaces. This is the first problem.

[02:47] <Mushrooms> donald_: I'm pretty sure this may be a pidgin problem, because gedit, Kile, and other text editors don't have the same problem
[02:47] <gretsch_drums> anyone know if compiz.real can be safely removed, and still allow openGL to be properly supported?

[03:08] <NigelS> Jahromeo: Jahromeo very odd, what version of ubuntu/kubuntu is this?
[03:08] <amenado> Ashfire_Server-> as you can see, you have two routers the desktop must traverse..so those are not configured properly

[03:13] <Flannel> Shadow6363: The same rar file (one big one?) or what?

[03:14] <danbhfive> supersako: was that a question?
[03:14] <iratik> thanks
[03:14] <Jahromeo> xoai what does rm -rf do?
[03:14] <NigelS> Jahromeo: no, you can read about it in their man pages
[03:14] <amenado> loa Note that using just "modprobe -r" will clean up unused autoloaded modules and also perform the pre- and post-remove commands in the configuration file /etc/modules.conf.
[03:14] <NigelS> Jahromeo: dont type that
[03:14] <iratik> Jahromeo: removes recursively and forces (doesn't ask you before deleting) ... man rm

[03:15] <BarryToeman> eltux: did you try "Places -> Connect to Server" in Gnome?
[03:15] <Leechzilla> danbhfive: I don't know

[03:15] <eltux> BarryToeman: no
[03:15] <danbhfive> Leechzilla: how did they show up before?
[03:16] <juank_prada> loa: what worries me is that not even by running ubuntu from the livecd, the webcam works (it used to )
[03:16] <Jahromeo> ok that seems to have fixed it via apt-get
[03:16] <Jahromeo> it now works
 lsof | grep video0
[03:16] <Jahromeo> lets try via adept
[03:16] <Leechzilla> danbhfive: It was there in Computer. It's not there anymore
[03:16] <Flannel> Shadow6363: Could just be the data itself.  I dont know if it writes to RAM first, or flushes to disk piecewise
[03:16] <spaghetti_knife> Sorry to be bothering you with the same problems as before, but could someone please help me with my synaptic? It's running really slowly.
[03:16] <eltux> Leechzilla: try booting into it and then booting into Ubuntu again. It happened with me (xp though)
[03:16] <spaghetti_knife> I even switched mirrors, and nothing changed.
[03:16] <spaghetti_knife> Is there a problem with my install?
[03:16] <NigelS> Jahromeo: cool, was a corrupted cache file then; of course the program still shouldn't have seg faulted
[03:16] <karunali> Hi I'm on a Apple iBook and I'm going to use the normal mouse button as right click and the tap click as normal click, is this possible ?
[03:16] <juank_prada> loa: done, it didnt show anything just the prompt again
[03:16] <Leechzilla> eltux: I can't boot into Windows either. It goes into the recovery console instead of going into Windows
[03:16] <spaghetti_knife> And if so, how can I figure out what it is?
[03:16] <eltux> BarryToeman: does it have a good graphical interface? That's what I'm looking for
[03:16] <danbhfive> Leechzilla: you can try sudo fdisk -l    see if it shows up there
[03:17] <KingMorpheus> ?
[03:17] <Jahromeo> k nigels thanks for help and everyone else too :)(
[03:17] <Shadow6363> no idea how accurate this might be, but it seems as if previous archives are still taking up some sort of temporary space or process and as such when i go to unarchive the next, there isnt room/memory
[03:17] <Jahromeo> will play around then see what happens
[03:17] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: uploading the new one.
[03:17] <BarryToeman> eltux: it shows up in Nautilus file manager.
[03:17] <Jahromeo> does it make a diff if you keep adept + synaptic on your pc?
[03:17] <DropKickMurpheys> can someone help me install a game from a tar.gz file? i don't remember the commands in terminal
[03:17] <eltux> BarryToeman: ooh, thanks :3
 Do your check your problem on launchpad? googling?

[03:17] <Rcommander> Hey guys I am running Gutsy and want to know how to install SopCast
[03:18] <Leechzilla> danbhfive: Okay, it's there. But when I mount it, it says the NTFS is marked to be in use.
[03:18] <juank_prada> loa: i did but found nothing similar to this..
[03:18] <spaghetti_knife> Please, help.
[03:18] <Jahromeo> gonna install synaptic find it nicer to use
[03:18] <NigelS> DropKickMurpheys: well tar -xzvf will extract such an archive
[03:18] <NemesisD> anyone in here own an eee? my wifi connection keeps dropping
[03:18] <Rcommander> NemesisD what type of encryption?
[03:19] <danbhfive> Leechzilla: hmmm, yep, no idea, sorry
[03:19] <BarryToeman> eltux: it will also show the connection on the left below your partitions/mounted devices and can be persistent.
[03:19] <juank_prada> loa: if it was something that happened due to some configuration issue ... wouldnt it work when running ubuntu from the LiveCD?
[03:19] <karunali> Hi I'm on a Apple iBook and I'm going to use the normal mouse button as right click and the tap click as normal click, is this possible ?
[03:19] <NemesisD> Rcommander, none
[03:19] <eltux> BarryToeman: thanks, I'll try it out with my website
[03:19] <NigelS> Leechzilla: it means that your NTFS partition is marked as dirty - that is to say it wasn't cleanly unmounted - either the machine was hard reset or something crashed
[03:19] <FourX4Luvn> Leechzilla: That means that the NTFS partition was not shut down cleanly.
[03:19] <NemesisD> Rcommander, at least not on the router end, maybe its set somewhere on the eee's end?
[03:19] <BagelMaster> No matter what media player I use, all my music always skips when I do a process on the computer, is there a very low-resource player that I haven't tried (I've tried Banshee, Rhythmbox, and XMMS), or a way to fix this?
[03:19] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: i don't think i can upload it with elinks.
[03:20] <Rcommander> NemesisD, k are you using the latest laptop kernel, no if there is no encryption on router then there is none on eee
[03:20] <RB2> BagelMaster, is this a desktop or a notebook?
[03:20] <amenado> Leechzilla-> i wonder if that kind of error is something to do with your xp having shutdown improperly, some people here mentioned that, while mounting an ntfs, it fails because xp was not shutdown properly
[03:20] <BagelMaster> RB2: Notebook
[03:20] <spaghetti_knife> Can anyone help me with my package manager problem?
[03:20] <NigelS> all he has to do is run ntfsfix or reboot into windows and exit smoothly
[03:20] <amenado> Ashfire_Server-> oh well..next time perhaps
[03:20] <danbhfive> spaghetti_knife: what's the problem?
[03:20] <Rcommander> nemesisD, also make sure if you are using KDE then you have Knetworkmanager thts what i use and works like a charm
[03:21] <mjw-> someone asked re: macbook compatibility: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AppleMacBook2007
[03:21] <Rcommander> Guys I need help installing SopCast on gutsy...any takers?
[03:21] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: can you send/recieve dcc files?
[03:21] <amenado> Ashfire_Server-> nope
[03:21] <spaghetti_knife> danbhfive: my updater/installer/synaptic/apt-get does not work well. It starts downloading at 15 kB/s and then stops.

[03:22] <ubotu> spaghetti_knife  try enabling the defaults, just check to be sure: Enable the standard Ubuntu repositories by going to System > Administration > Software Sources - See !repositories for detailed information
[03:22] <spaghetti_knife> I switched mirrors and everything, but it's still really slow.
[03:22] <NemesisD> Rcommander, laptop kernel? im using ubuntu, is there a separate kernel?
[03:22] <Jahromeo> i install synaptic - it crashes once dl finished - closes - now it wont open again
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> Jahromeo: well, i doubt that is Gods fault.
[03:22] <amenado> alberto-> speak in english please
[03:22] <Jahromeo> what is wronggg grrrr
[03:22] <spaghetti_knife> !repositories
[03:22] <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
[03:22] <Jahromeo> adept is the one thats caus all this nonsense :(((((((((((9
[03:22] <Rcommander> NemesisD ya try the laptop-latest h.o
[03:22] <mjw-> BagelMaster I'm on a Dell Latitude C510, what problem are you having?
[03:23] <NemesisD> god this is getting intolerable, sorry Rcommander just went down again
[03:23] <kjp2> anyone with expereince using netatalk ?
[03:23] <RB2> BagelMaster, you're on 7.10? What's your CPU usage when idling?
[03:23] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: oh apparently i need to refresh the page
[03:23] <amenado> Jahromeo-> ahh spend another few to re-install
[03:23] <RB2> I had a problem with trackerd being a resource hog for days on end.
[03:23] <NemesisD> Rcommander, im afraid im not familiar with your lingo
[03:23] <spaghetti_knife> danbhfive: I can't start synaptic. My program's locked.
[03:23] <BagelMaster> mjw- All the media players I have tried (XMMS, Banshee, Mplayer, Rhythmbox) skip when I do any process on my computer
[03:23] <alberto> alguien habla español?? necesito ayuda sobre ubuntu

[03:23] <Rcommander> in SPM
[03:23] <ubotu> alberto: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[03:23] <danbhfive> spaghetti_knife: did you check your sources?
[03:23] <Jahromeo> and see if synaptic does the same nonsense
[03:24] <eltux> BarryToeman: I require a password to login to my website's ftp, will it work?
[03:24] <juank_prada> loa: what else could i do?  :(
[03:24] <alberto> ok
[03:24] <alberto> ok
[03:24] <amenado> Jahromeo-> this time when installing remove your network capabilities like removing the ethernet cable so its quicker..update should be done post-install
[03:24] <alberto> bye
[03:24] <mjw-> BagelMaster i'm curious to the answer of cpu usage when idle too
[03:24] <NemesisD> Rcommander, installing now
[03:24] <alberto> chao
[03:24] <RB2> mjw-, have you seen many probs with trackerd?
[03:24] <MrPiracy> anyone familiar with java virtual machine? how can i install it on ubuntu x64?
[03:24] <BagelMaster> RB2 mjw - Percent used while idling?  That's around 7%
[03:25] <NemesisD> Rcommander, now what?

[03:25] <NigelS> !java | MrPiracy
[03:25] <ubotu> MrPiracy: 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)
[03:25] <astro76> !flash64 | MrPiracy
[03:25] <mjw-> RB2 um, what's trackerd? :)
[03:25] <ubotu> MrPiracy: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[03:25] <amenado> MrPiracy-> runtime or jdk?
[03:25] <Rcommander> NemesisD, also get the backport modules
[03:25] <Rcommander> and restart you should be fine
[03:25] <RB2> mjw-, it's the indexing engine for the search applet
[03:25] <amenado> MrPiracy-> never mind, you're 64bit, am not..
[03:25] <NemesisD> Rcommander, how an i tell which are the backport modules?
[03:26] <rhineheart_m> is there a way to restore ubuntu server into its newly installed state? just like in windows..they have system restore...thanks
[03:26] <Jahromeo> synaptic is already the newest version. - according to apt-get
[03:26] <mjw-> RB2 i run on xubuntu, i don't think xubuntu uses that
[03:26] <spaghetti_knife> danbhfive: I have to be able to start apt first. I tried that, then it sank, then I control-z'd and now it's locked. How do I unlock it, or at least kill it?
[03:26] <Jahromeo> yet when i run command synaptic it doesnt work
[03:26] <amenado> rhineheart_m-> nope, but which server services you think you have fouled up?
[03:26] <RB2> mjw-, no I don't believe it does.
[03:26] <Jahromeo> nm got synaptic gonna see if that bombs
[03:26] <danbhfive> rhineheart_m: what do you mean newly installed?
[03:26] <Rcommander> NemesisD, go to synaptic, and search for backport and get the latest backport modules, AFTER you have enabled them int he software sources pack
[03:26] <Jahromeo> maybe its just my adept manager that sux
[03:26] <danbhfive> spaghetti_knife: fg
[03:27] <RB2> BagelMaster, I'm assuming this is doing anything else regardless of what it is, correct?
[03:27] <Rcommander> nemesisD, if you just installed ubuntu then go to software sources, enable backports and unsupported and run and update
[03:27] <MrPiracy> amenado: i just want to get this website open and displaying normally: https://www2.bancobrasil.com.br/aapf/login.jsp?aapf.IDH=sim
[03:27] <spaghetti_knife> danbhfive: i fg'd, and fg apt-get, but nothing happened. "No such job."
[03:27] <mjw-> BagelMaster I use xubuntu on this c510, but i haven't actually tried much media playing. youtube works ok though without skipping (Celeron 1066MHz)
[03:27] <NigelS> spaghetti_knife: fg uses job numbers
[03:27] <MrPiracy> NigelS, astro76 : i just want to get this website open and displaying normally: https://www2.bancobrasil.com.br/aapf/login.jsp?aapf.IDH=sim
[03:27] <FourX4Luvn> spaghetti_knife: 'jobs'
[03:27] <NemesisD> Rcommander, are you saying its just a newer version of the same app thuogh? im still searching for laptop-netconf?
[03:27] <amenado> MrPiracy-> it prompting about trusting its key..you have already?
[03:27] <Jahromeo> how can i remove adept without removing kubuntu desktop?
[03:28] <spaghetti_knife> 'jobs' turns up nothing.
[03:28] <BagelMaster> RB2, I didn't quite get that.  I'm also running Xchat and Pidgin while I gave you that Processor &
[03:28] <spaghetti_knife> and yet apt remains locked.
[03:28] <BagelMaster> 5*
[03:28] <Dr_willis> Jahromeo,  i wouldnt even bother trying to remove adept. - Just use synaptic if you perfer it
[03:28] <Rcommander> NemesisD, no laptop-netconf is a completely different thing that does not ship with ubuntu but helps with certain WiFI connections
[03:28] <FourX4Luvn> spaghetti_knife:  then you have nothing running in the background on that terminal.  try 'ps ax | grep apt'
[03:28] <amenado> spaghetti_knife-> look in /var/lock  and see if its locked there
[03:28] <khaotik> anyone feel like walking me thru getting my web cam working. i have read a lot of forums and downloaded things but my laptop just wont pick up the device
[03:28] <Rcommander> NemesisD, updating is just somethin that might help
[03:28] <snkmad> how do i install firefox 3 beta on ubuntu?
[03:29] <MrPiracy> amenado: well, i dont see it ... all i have is an error message on the bottom that says "Applet tclJava notinited"
[03:29] <RB2> BagelMaster, I'm not sure.
[03:29] <RB2> Anyone else with more Dell notebook experience want to take a stab?
[03:29] <danbhfive> spaghetti_knife: do you have the upgrade-manager open?
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> snkmad: download the source and compile it.
[03:29] <amenado> khaotik-> juank_prada  both of you exchange notes :P
[03:29] <rhineheart_m> I ruined everything.. I tried to reinstall apache2 and the rest of the applications but I can't install it successfully
[03:29] <Rcommander> NemesisD, maybe you have to enable additional repositories, I am not sure how to check which repository its from
[03:29] <Rcommander> google it
[03:29] <Jahromeo> dr_willis i want adept gone its buggy as hell
[03:29] <MrPiracy> NigelS, astro76, amenado : i followed instructions on this website http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435
[03:29] <NigelS> MrPiracy: if you just want java to work do as the bot says and apt-get install the sun java package and also the plugin package - open synaptic and search for java
[03:29] <Rcommander> Is there anyone here that knows sopcast?
[03:29] <juank_prada> khaotik: what di you do?
[03:29] <spaghetti_knife> I don't have it open. I tried to apt-get install, and then control-z'd out.
[03:29] <Jahromeo> if i try remove it it wants to take kubuntu desktop with it :(
[03:29] <amenado> MrPiracy-> it prompted me for it to trust the key..
[03:29] <FourX4Luvn> snkmad: No offense, but if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be running FF3.  It's still highly experimental.  Suitable for developers only
[03:29] <notyeta> Anybody can give me some suggestion on how to install ubuntu throw ISO?
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> notyeta: what do you mean?
[03:30] <MrPiracy> amenado: well, it never asked me that
[03:30] <Rcommander> notyeta, just put the cd in
[03:30] <snkmad> FourX4Luvn well i tried it on winxp, and seems really great
[03:30] <snkmad> wanna try on my ubuntu now
[03:30] <MrPiracy> amenado: been trying to get to this site for days now
[03:30] <notyeta> i wanna install ubuntu
[03:30] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: got it, one sec
[03:30] <Rcommander> notyeta and run the live and double click install
[03:30] <khaotik> i installed easycam, tried it under camorama and tried it under xsane
[03:30] <Dr_willis> Jahromeo,  whatever..  removeing it will break kubuntu-desktop, and that may make upgrading to the next releae more of a hassle..
[03:30] <danbhfive> spaghetti_knife: and fg didn't work? hmmm....  is it a virtual terminal?
[03:30] <amenado> MrPiracy-> you have to look around the java security
[03:30] <IndyGunFreak> notyeta: have you burned the iso as an image to a disk?
[03:30] <Leechzilla> When I used the -o force option to mount my NTFS partition, it says $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, ). WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile. How do I reset it?
[03:30] <spaghetti_knife> danbhfive: killall apt worked
[03:30] <MrPiracy> amenado: i did, i even installed firefox32
[03:30] <spaghetti_knife> thanks, guys.
[03:30] <notyeta> yep, i burned it into a cd
[03:30] <Jahromeo> meh fine ill leave it then but i HATE IT :(
[03:30] <FourX4Luvn> snkmad: Ok.. Just know that you were warned :)   Here's a link for you... http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-firefox-3-beta-2-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html
[03:30] <spaghetti_knife> killall is awesome.
[03:30] <Rcommander> notyeta just restart comp and boot from CD
[03:30] <khaotik> everytime it pops up could not connect to video device /dev/video0
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> notyeta: restart your PC, with the disk in your CD drive, and make ure your computer is set to boot from the CD drive first
[03:31] <snkmad> FourX4Luvn thx
[03:31] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l244/Ashfire908/NetworkLayout2.png
[03:31] <rhineheart_m> danbhfive<<< just like when I just finished installing ubuntu
[03:31] <Dr_willis> Jahromeo,  removing it wont break 'kde' but it will also remove the meta-package kubuntu-desktop. Thats not a big deal really .
[03:31] <cosmodad> can anyone tell me if the Load_Cycles/disk crashes issue affects non-notebook disks as well?
[03:31] <MrPiracy> amenado: there's not many options around java and sun-java6-plugin says there's no package candiate
[03:31] <spaghetti_knife> I went to software sources, switched to the main server.
[03:31] <notyeta> but i am confused on how to format the disk
[03:31] <amenado> MrPiracy-> umm maybe they have you marked as local user..so you are not allowed :P  some banks dont allow local users only imported ones..heh
[03:31] <MrPiracy> amenado: went to www.java.com and it says my computer has the latest java installed .... i'm lost
[03:31] <spaghetti_knife> Now it's downloading files, and it's not working anymore.
[03:31] <danbhfive> rhineheart_m: do you have a gui?  or is this gui-less?
[03:31] <juank_prada> amenado: i tried using easycam but when i got the list of usb devices all of them are like 'Bus 002 Device 001: id 0000:0000
[03:31] <khaotik> any suggestions
[03:31] <khaotik> ???
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> notyeta: we'll deal with that once you get the CD running, when you get Ubuntu started, come here and we'll help you
[03:31] <notyeta> i wanna intall two system one is window another is ubuntu
[03:32] <mjw-> BagelMaster so does the cpu usage shoot up to 100 when you do anything media related - or is it video or audio only/
[03:32] <MrPiracy> amenado: this is my home banking page. i use it for years. i am sure it works fine under IE
[03:32] <SJrX> Hmmmmm
[03:32] <rhineheart_m> danbhfive<< m not running gui... m accessing the server through ssh
[03:32] <juank_prada> khaotik: nope.. actually i though you fixed the problem
[03:32] <hipekhop> hi
[03:32] <amenado> MrPiracy-> there is in regards to security..you have to google for the java security info
[03:32] <FourX4Luvn> juank_prada: Uninstall all your other USB devices.. then whatever one is left must be the camera ;)
[03:32] <SJrX> When I suspend my new system, the clock changes time when I resume
[03:32] <SJrX> How can I fix it
[03:32] <FourX4Luvn> juank_prada: Excuse me.. unplug them.. not uninstall them
[03:32] <notyeta> but how should i format the disk?
[03:32] <spaghetti_knife> Maybe it's my isp. I'll call them tomorrow.
[03:32] <hipekhop> Plise help, i cant registry #
[03:32] <SJrX> Ubuntu was originally installed on a previous machine
[03:32] <hipekhop> :(
[03:32] <khaotik> its driving me crazy. what kind of system you running??
[03:32] <IndyGunFreak> notyeta: are you listening?
[03:32] <juank_prada> FourX4Luvn: i did... but all of the output is 0000:0000 which means there is nothing plugged

[03:33] <hipekhop> hi
[03:33] <amenado> MrPiracy okay..just making a comment that some banks dont allow local users, only imported ones :)
[03:33] <BagelMaster> mjw- It goes between 12% and 22% while playing
[03:33] <Jahromeo> k updating while i sleep lets hope synaptic isnt as lame as adept
[03:33] <IndyGunFreak> notyeta: then what part did you not understand?
[03:33] <juank_prada> khaotik: im in a Dell inspirton 1420
[03:33] <BagelMaster> mjw- rarely hits 22% though
[03:33] <zetto> hi
[03:33] <Raspberry> I've bene having lots of the 3d and I've found this... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa
[03:33] <mjw-> BagelMaster and by playing are you referring to video only,  audio only, or both together
[03:33] <notyeta> sorry, i can't understand you well
[03:33] <Leechzilla> When I used the -o force option to mount my NTFS partition, it says $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, ). WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile. How do I reset it?
[03:33] <BagelMaster> mjw- audio only
[03:33] <FourX4Luvn> juank_prada: Are you sure the camera is supported by ubuntu?
[03:34] <IndyGunFreak> notyeta: ok.. boot your Ubuntu CD, then come back here, and we'll talk you through partitioning your drive and installing
[03:34] <rhineheart_m> ubotu<<what do you mean with that?
[03:34] <NigelS> Leechzilla: yes, we told you how to solve this
[03:34] <amenado> Ashfire_Server-> thats no more different than what you pasted earlier
[03:34] <mjw-> BagelMaster and it goes to 12-22% and starts skipping?
[03:34] <Starnestommy> rhineheart_m: ubotu is a bot
[03:34] <Leechzilla> NigelS: I didn't get it
[03:34] <IndyGunFreak> !ubotu | rhineheart_m
[03:34] <juank_prada> FourX4Luvn: it worked before.. i found the device under gstreamer-properties and i tested it... but now it no longer appears
[03:34] <ubotu> rhineheart_m: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[03:34] <FourX4Luvn> NigelS: He'd logged out when you answered him.
[03:34] <MrPiracy> amenado: this is my bank, it accepts connections from brazil
[03:34] <NigelS> Leechzilla: your ntfs drive wasn't shut down cleanly - you should run ntfsfix on it or boot into windows and shutdown normally
[03:34] <danbhfive> !info deborphan | rhineheart_am maybe this package will help you, I don't know how to use it myself
[03:34] <ubotu> rhineheart_am maybe this package will help you, i don't know how to use it myself: deborphan (source: deborphan): Find orphaned libraries. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.23 (gutsy), package size 69 kB, installed size 420 kB
[03:34] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: oh, i see what you meant by routes. if something requests something from the internet, using the server as a gateway, it routes it to the gateway. (by setting a default route on the serrver). it's not an actual router
[03:34] <BagelMaster> mjw- Only if I minimize something, open something, or do any kind of process
[03:34] <wastedyouth> wow I'm now windows free
[03:34] <amenado> MrPiracy i heard you,
[03:34] <notyeta> ur...maybe it's a tough task
[03:34] <NigelS> FourX4Luvn: not a good idea to quit a channel when asking a question
[03:35] <rhineheart_m> what's that for?
[03:35] <NemesisD> Rcommander, ok i rebooted, anything special i need to do?
[03:35] <FourX4Luvn> NigelS: You speak the truth.  :)
[03:35] <IndyGunFreak> notyeta: what is a tough task?
[03:35] <amenado> Ashfire_Server-> something to that effect yes
[03:35] <notyeta> i need prepare some material.
[03:35] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: one sec i just had an idea...
[03:35] <Rcommander> NemesisD you should be good to go
[03:35] <freafdsh> Whenever I install a newer nvidia driver from the nvidia website the nvidia driver stops loading completely, and I'm stuck with a generic driver. Any suggestions?
[03:35] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: (which will probaly disconnect me.)
[03:35] <Rcommander> ND, are you on KDE or Gnome?
[03:35] <FourX4Luvn> juank_prada: Odd.. have you tried unplugging the camera and plugging it back in?
[03:35] <mjw-> BagelMaster what is the result of lspci | grep -i audio
[03:35] <danbhfive> rhineheart_m: if you are talking to me, please use my name, it highlights the message.  the tab key can help with this
[03:35] <cosmodad> can anyone tell me if the Load_Cycles/disk crashes issue affects non-notebook disks as well?
[03:36] <notyeta> install ubuntu is a tough task, i thought
[03:36] <juank_prada> FourX4Luvn: kinda hard, its an integrated webcam in my laptop
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> notyeta: no, its quite easy actually
[03:36] <spaghetti_knife> My isp might be blocking some of my traffic or something.
[03:36] <eekrano> freafdsh, i had the same problem, I had to match the kernel version- what kernel are you using?
[03:36] <FourX4Luvn> juank_prada: Oh.. sorry.. I thought it was USB for some reason
[03:36] <spaghetti_knife> Thanks, dudes.
[03:36] <rhineheart_m> danbhfive: sorry..this is my first time here

[03:36] <larson9999> juank_prada, what kind of laptop?
[03:36] <BagelMaster> mjw- lspci | grep -i audio
[03:36] <Phrozen_One> what would be the easiest method of booting to a console instead of gnome by default?
[03:36] <freafdsh> eekrano, what command do I use to determine the kernel version?
[03:36] <FourX4Luvn> juank_prada: There isn't some key combination to enable/disable it then is there?
[03:36] <juank_prada> larson9999: Dell inspiron 1420
[03:36] <notyeta> could u give me some reference?
[03:36] <amenado> juank_prada-> umm   tail -f /var/log/messages and unplug your camera, then plug it back in..to see if its detected..you have to be patient and wait though

[03:38] <danbhfive> rhineheart_m: no big deal, I might accidentally ignore you.  deborphan will identify which packages are orphaned.  A base install is simple the package ubuntu-server.   So, anything that is orphaned other than ubuntu-server can go, to get back to a vanilla install
[03:38] <amenado> juank_prada-> maybe you have to look into your bios to disable/re-enable it
[03:38] <NemesisD> Rcommander, what exactly did that do?
[03:38] <notyeta> okay, thanks all
[03:38] <larson9999> juank_prada, i had to compile a driver someone made during the last year for it.
[03:38] <NemesisD> out of curiosity
[03:38] <freafdsh> eekrano that is what I get now, but this is when the system is running correctly with an older driver, (back up)
[03:38] <BagelMaster> mjw- Nothing.
[03:38] <juank_prada> amenado: ok.. ill check that
[03:38] <Rcommander> NemesisD, exactly what did what do? the new kernel?
[03:38] <Rcommander> i mean
[03:38] <mjw-> BagelMaster what does lspci | grep -i vga   return (sorry, misspoke there before)
[03:39] <freafdsh> eekrano I would really appreciate a fix for this, if you can help
[03:39] <Rcommander> ND, netconf?
[03:39] <MrPiracy> ok, i have several aditional fonts installed on gutsy and most of the programs can see/use these fonts. is there an easy way to make them available for ALL programs (ie. aMSN)?
[03:39] <khaotik> how do i find out what the specific type of camora i have???
[03:39] <NemesisD> Rcommander, i don't have a new kernel, i didnt quite unde4rstand what you meant by that
[03:39] <BagelMaster> mjw- No worries: dan@Dan-laptop:~$ glxinfo | grep -i direct
[03:39] <BagelMaster> direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
[03:39] <BagelMaster> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[03:39] <mjw-> BagelMaster also don't send back the command line you typed in, just adds to channel noise
[03:39] <NemesisD> Rcommander,  i just installed that package you recommended, did you mean the eee bios or summat?
[03:39] <BagelMaster> mjw- My apologies: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02)
[03:39] <rhineheart_m> danbhfive: so you mean..when I will deoprhaned the system...it will go back to its OS state?
[03:39] <jack-desktop> who knows anything about virtualbox?
[03:39] <theurs> man wget
[03:39] <danbhfive> rhineheart_m: I don't know about webbase control thingies
[03:40] <Rcommander> NemesisD, i know sorry i am doing too many things at once, mistyped, i mean the netconf thing? is that what you are asking what did that do?
[03:40] <juank_prada> amenado: after doing that 'tail  -f /var/log/messages' should i wait till i get back to the prompt?
[03:40] <theurs>        --tries=number
[03:40] <theurs>            Set number of retries to number.  Specify 0 or inf for infinite retrying.  The default is to retry 20 times, with the exception of fatal errors like ‘‘connection
[03:40] <theurs>            refused’’ or ‘‘not found’’ (404), which are not retried.
[03:40] <mjw-> BagelMaster could you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf  to a pastebin?
[03:40] <BagelMaster> mjw- Yea, I'm not paying attention to what I'm highlighting, my apologies
[03:40] <theurs> how to force it keep trying anyway
[03:40] <NemesisD> Rcommander, oh, yes
[03:40] <BagelMaster> mjw- No problem
[03:40] <twavis> i need a boot disk to boot off of a usb drive that's not supported by my bios.. is this possible?
[03:40] <FourX4Luvn> khaotik: You could try checking out http://www.linux-laptop.net/ and see if your laptop model is listed.  There may be some advice on how to get the camera working.
[03:40] <danbhfive> rhineheart_m: yeah, the original state is when you only have ubuntu-server installed, and all the packages it depends on
[03:40] <Rcommander> NemesisD, Honestly...don't know...but it worked for some...someone else here had suggested that to me...
[03:40] <juank_prada> amenado: so far this is what i got from that command ->http://pastebin.com/m5677370d
[03:40] <eekrano> freafdsh, thats the same version I'm using- I tried using a later release and had the same problem-
[03:41] <NemesisD> Rcommander, works for me :P are you an eee user as well? if so, how are you liking it
[03:41] <rhineheart_m> danbhfive: that's great! at least I will not be spending most of my time formatting the disk
[03:41] <Fare> will ubuntu work with 256MB of memory?
[03:41] <snkmad> jack-desktop i run virtualbox here, whats your problem?
[03:41] <mjw-> BagelMaster what I suspect is happening (at least partially) is that the non-direct rendering is taking a heavy toll on your performance. Any sort of window operation will be painful without direct rendering, especially on a slower computer
[03:41] <FourX4Luvn> twavis: Nope.. Afraid that before you boot, the BIOS is all you have, so if it doesn't support the drive, you're kind of SOL
[03:41] <danbhfive> rhineheart_m: and you should make sure to have a kernel installed to, like the linux-generic meta package, though there may be a server one
[03:41] <BagelMaster> mjw- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56296/
[03:41] <Rcommander> NemesisD, oh i am loving the eee its awesome..just wished for a bigger HDD
[03:41] <Fare> it's fscking damn slow on my gf's R40
[03:41] <mjw-> Fare xubuntu is better for lower memory situations
[03:41] <freafdsh> eekrano What can I do to get a "kernel match"?
[03:41] <NemesisD> Rcommander, sd cards are extremely cheap these days i hear
[03:41] <eekrano> freafdsh, i think you'd have to recompile the kernel- but I'm actually not too sure to be honest.
[03:42] <Fare> is 256MB low memory these days?
[03:42] <rhineheart_m> danbhfive: so how to do i
[03:42] <mjw-> Fare relatively... ;)
[03:42] <danbhfive> rhineheart_m: well, play with deborphan, the gtkorphan package is easy, im afraid the cli version is more difficult to use, and I can't help ya, since I've never done it
[03:42] <freafdsh> Ah, ok.
[03:42]  * Fare remembers the bad old days when 8MB was a lot
[03:42] <gretsch_drums> can anyone recommend a good AGP nvidia card to use with ubuntu?
[03:42] <Dr_willis> 256mb ram - is uber low. :)
[03:42] <FourX4Luvn> mjw-: fluxbox, ratpoison, blackbox, or the like if you really want to cut down memory usage yet still have a graphical interface
[03:42] <Fare> (or the worst old days when 64KB was so much memory)
[03:42] <KlrSp1> anyone know how to get samba and winbind working properly?
[03:42] <Rcommander> NemesisD, ya but they aren't fast enough correct me if i am wrong, but cant the eee only support 4 more gigs through SD?
[03:42] <eekrano> freafdsh, If I attempt it again and get it I'll be sure to let you know... but I'm just happy I'm not stuck with nv anymore!
[03:42] <freafdsh> What is the latest nvidia driver that works with your 2.6.22-14-generic kernel?
[03:42] <KlrSp1> !winbind
[03:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about winbind - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:42] <amenado> juank_prada-> it looks like you system recognized it as an input device like a keyboard or a mouse
[03:42] <Dr_willis> gretsch_drums,  depends on your budget.  - Id track down one with a fanless design if gettting a new card.
[03:43] <gretsch_drums> ok
[03:43] <rhineheart_m> danbhfive: is that something with GUI?
[03:43] <gretsch_drums> i have a 6200 with 128mb ram, and no fan
[03:43] <freafdsh> eekrano did you get better compiz fusion performance after updating the driver?
[03:43] <Dr_willis> gretsch_drums,  they got some in the under $40 range - or at leas tthey yuse to
[03:43] <juank_prada> amenado: so is there something that can be done to get it back to work?
[03:43] <gretsch_drums> and a 5500 dual-headed
[03:43] <gretsch_drums> with a fan
[03:43] <jack-desktop> snkmad, if i try to install windows xp using a recovery disk in virtual box
[03:43] <NemesisD> Rcommander, i think the limit is the media not the port, i heard sd cards go up to 16-32 gb
[03:43] <danbhfive> rhineheart_m: gtkorphan is the gui front end to deborphan
[03:43] <jack-desktop> snkmad, is there any chance it'll mess up my harddrive at all
[03:43] <gretsch_drums> but the 6200 doesn't work well at all in ubuntu
[03:43] <eekrano> freafdsh, absolutely-
[03:43] <rhineheart_m> danbhfive: but how about if I will not be using GUI... i just want the server be accessed through ssh
[03:44] <amenado> juank_prada-> i dont know, i dont own  a laptop nor a video camera
[03:44] <gretsch_drums> the menus don't get rendered and the desktop is extremely sluggish
[03:44] <gretsch_drums> the 5500 is PCI
[03:44] <Rcommander> NemesisD, ya they do, but i thought the eee cant support SDHC cards, maybe(i hope) i am wrong
[03:44] <snkmad> jack-desktop no, its all virtual, the hdd from virtual machines are just files inside your real HDD
[03:44] <freafdsh> damnit eek, I will not rest until I find a way to update this driver!
[03:44] <juank_prada> amenado: oh.. ok thanks for your help :)
[03:44] <mjw-> BagelMaster do you happen to know how much video memory you have
[03:44] <eekrano> freafdsh, you should be getting good performance too if you're using nvidia instead of nv
[03:44] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: then look at orphaner
[03:44] <snkmad> jack-desktop i do have winxp installed virtualbox here, works just fine
[03:44] <danbhfive> rhineheart_m: you are going to have to use google, or ask someone else, because I don't know.  Sorry
[03:44] <NemesisD> Rcommander, im not sure, i havent looked into it too extensively, im gonna try to keep mine pretty light
[03:44] <BagelMaster> mjw- Not offhand
[03:44] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: it's curses based, if I recall.  Doesn't require X anyway, whatever it uses.
[03:45] <Rcommander> NemesisD, awesome hey i gotta run i'll catch ya later
[03:45]  * Rcommander is away
[03:45] <NemesisD> Rcommander, have a nice evening, thx for the help
[03:45] <Rcommander> NemesisD, you are very welcome!
[03:45] <gretsch_drums> anyone know of an AGP problems in ubuntu?
[03:45] <rhineheart_m> danbhfive: thanks for the advice...I appreciate it.. I will try FourX4Luvn
[03:45] <Levarris> anyone know if my Audigy 2 Platinum ZS will work in Ubuntu?
[03:45] <gretsch_drums> or problems with the 6200 nvidia card?
[03:45] <danbhfive> np
[03:45] <freafdsh> eekrano in xorg.conf it says "nvidia", does that mean I am not using nv?
[03:46] <mjw-> BagelMaster since it's scrolled off now, could you pastebin the results of lspci -vvv   ? (warning: it's going to be a lot)
[03:46] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: Yeah.. I just checked it out again.. it's curses based.  No X requirements, but still nice and easy to use.
[03:46] <rhineheart_m> FourX4Luvn<<<< May I know how orphaner works?
[03:46] <eekrano> freafdsh, right. what do you get with glxgears?
[03:46] <rhineheart_m> FourX4Luvn: how and for what use is it about?
[03:46] <mjw-> BagelMaster one of your problems MAY be that you are running short of video memory, which could cause direct rendering to not function
[03:46] <freafdsh> 3137, with compiz fusion running
[03:47] <BagelMaster> mjw- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56297/
[03:47] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: Once it's installed you run 'sudo orphaner' and it gives you a curses based view of what packages are orphaned.  You select which ones to remove and hit 'ok'
[03:47] <freafdsh> eekrano 3137 with compiz fusion running
[03:47] <mjw-> BagelMaster and again a lack of direct rendering is going to take a big performance hit on a slower machine
[03:47] <rhineheart_m> FourX4Luvn: is there a way to do is via ssh?
[03:47] <BagelMaster> mjw- I se.
[03:47] <BagelMaster> mjw- I see*

[03:48] <eekrano> freafdsh, well thats better than without the restricted module!
[03:48] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: Yes.  Just ssh into the box, and do 'sudo orphaner'  (once it's installed of course) 'sudo apt-get update && apt-get install orphaner'

[03:49] <freafdsh> eekrano ok take it ez
[03:49] <KlrSp1> anyone know how to get samba and winbind working properly?
[03:49] <eekrano> freafdsh, yeah, I get 6500 FPS with my 6800 gt oc
[03:49] <jack-desktop> snkmad, so there is 0% it will try to partition my real harddrive?
[03:49] <freafdsh> eekrano nvclock doesn't support my card :(
[03:49] <Blaenk> darkaznmonkey: what's up

[03:49] <Blaenk> darkaznmonkey: yes...
[03:49] <darkaznmonkey> yea
[03:49] <mjw-> BagelMaster i'm going to be pastebinning an updated xorg.conf in a bit, have to think about this for a little while
[03:49] <rhineheart_m> FourX4Luvn: I've been trying to ssh the box but it gives this error already after I messed up the box: network connection refused
[03:50] <Blaenk> darkaznmonkey: check this out
[03:50] <snkmad> jack-desktop yeah not a single change
[03:50] <snkmad> it will create a file
[03:50] <eekrano> freafdsh, sorry bout jettin, but I'll be sure to see where you're at if I see you on again
[03:50] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: Ahh.. Well then that will have to be fixed at the console of the remote computer.
[03:50] <freafdsh> k, take it ez eekrano
[03:50] <BagelMaster> mjw- Thanks, I'm starting to understand this a bit more, with the help of you and google.
[03:50] <Led_Zeppelin> Anyone here configure ndiswrapper on AMD64?
[03:51] <darkaznmonkey> fullmetal
[03:51] <rhineheart_m> FourX4Luvn: is that something that we really have to reinstall and reconfigure the ssh server?

[03:52] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: I don't know.. I don't know what the problem is with the server.. It may simply need to be started (perhaps it isn't set to start on boot, and the system was rebooted?)  it's hard to say what the problem could be without checking out the server
[03:52] <Rcommander> hey guys I need Sopcast help on gutsy
[03:53] <jordanjay29> I'm having problems with the network in vmware workstation 6.0 running the current stable ubuntu version as a guest on a winxp sp2 host. I've tried both bridged and NAT networking settings, but neither seem to allow a connection to the internet.

[03:56] <Rcommander> mehdi just use synaptic
[03:56] <sixpence> Starnestommy: And if I want to downgrade?

[03:57] <rhineheart_m> FourX4Luvn:and after that...I couldn't reboot the box already remotely.. if I will do: reboot now It will give me file or directory cannot be found
[03:57] <CoastonCute> Upgrade your cpu?
[03:58] <mjw-> BagelMaster http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56299/
[03:58] <larson9999> CoasterMaster, i ran it many moons ago.  now i have a ps1 so i don't need to :)
[03:58] <mjw-> BagelMaster back up your old xorg.conf before using that
[03:58] <CoasterMaster> larson9999, ?
[03:58] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: Is this a new install that you were just trying to configure?
[03:58] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: Or do you have data on it?
[03:58] <BagelMaster> mjw- will do, should I shut down any media related things first?
[03:58] <larson9999> CoastonCute, , i ran it many moons ago.  now i have a ps1 so i don't need to :)
[03:58] <natlinuxnewb> hi all
[03:59] <mjw-> BagelMaster no, you'll have to restart X anyway before it will take effect
[03:59] <larson9999> CoasterMaster, me and tab complete still fight after all these years
[03:59] <BagelMaster> mjw- ah
[03:59] <frank23> CoastonCute: yeah.. that's not really an option. I was just wondering if there is anything I could do to squeeze out more performance
[03:59] <CoasterMaster> larson9999, haha, it's cool
[03:59] <mjw-> BagelMaster restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace but keep in mind it will shut things down without asking you to save or anything
[03:59] <Liono_> wine.. and virtualisation? any other method used to play non native linux games?
[03:59] <rhineheart_m> FourX4Luvn: I have data on it.. I installed webmin already to it... but if there is a command that I could erase everything..like in a clean install..I am willing to lose everything there
[03:59] <BagelMaster> mjw- ok
[03:59] <CoastonCute> So not a clue on how to get it to work, it's not even reading the cds
[04:00] <Twin> !iptables
[04:00] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[04:00] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: It sounds like the best option to me.. Format and reinstall.  Will be quicker than trying to sort out what was removed and what wasn't
[04:00] <frank23> !xvmc
[04:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xvmc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:00] <mjw-> BagelMaster once you restart (and this should break anything i hope, conservative changes, paste the results of glxinfo | grep -i direct
[04:00] <mjw-> BagelMaster should NOT break anything that is ;)
[04:00] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: BUT of course that's only an option if you have a very recent backup or if you don't have any data to worry about losing
[04:00] <natlinuxnewb> I have just installed 7.10. Why does my monitor say "64k / 60Hz Frequency is out of range" then it carries on loading and the startup freezes (or seems to freeze - I can still hear the HD spinning) at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)"?
[04:01] <BagelMaster> mjw- OK
[04:01] <MrPiracy> ok, i have several aditional fonts installed on gutsy and most of the programs can see/use these fonts. is there an easy way to make them available for ALL programs (ie. aMSN)?
[04:02] <FourX4Luvn> MrPiracy: If X can use them, the programs can to.. You just have to tell the programs what fonts to use.  That, of course, would be specific to each individual app.
[04:02] <chicagonpg> Does anyone know where the audacious files directory is to add themes,is located? Thanks
[04:02] <rhineheart_m> FourX4Luvn: thanks for the advice.. I am decided to do the reformat thing then.. (m sure this won't happen--just for curiosity sake) Is there a way to reinstall the ubuntu server without a cd?
[04:02] <natlinuxnewb> rhineheart_m I believe there is. gimme a sec
[04:03] <natlinuxnewb> !install | rhineheart_m
[04:03] <ubotu> rhineheart_m: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[04:03] <jordanjay29> Anybody have any ideas how to get a mouse scroll wheel to work with Ubuntu running as guest in vmware?
[04:03] <AtomicSpark> yes. the only other way i know of would be to do a network install.
[04:03] <MrPiracy> FourX4Luvn: well, aMSN for example doesnt list it on its font options
[04:03] <natlinuxnewb> Or an Internet install
[04:04] <BagelMaster> mjw- direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
[04:04] <BagelMaster> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[04:04] <gram> What determines what is included in "Places" menu?
[04:04] <FourX4Luvn> MrPiracy: Are you sure you're looking in the right directory for the fonts?
[04:04] <natlinuxnewb> rhineheart_m: a few more minutes and ill have the link for you
[04:04] <mjw-> BagelMaster are you using an external monitor with this laptop?
[04:05] <gram> How do you negotiate what is included in "Places" [menu]?
[04:05] <MrPiracy> FourX4Luvn: how can i be sure? all the other programs can see these fonts, but aMSN and a few other progs
[04:05] <rhineheart_m> AtomicSpark<<< network install? How to do it.. I removed everthing in the box actually.... The cd-rom drives...floppy...
[04:05] <Starnestommy> gram: nautilus controls it somehow
[04:05] <BagelMaster> mjw- No.
[04:05] <CoastonCute> So is there anyone in here that knows PCSX?
[04:05] <mjw-> BagelMaster so the native LCD resolution is 1400x1050?
[04:06] <rhineheart_m> natlinuxnewb: I will be happy waiting for the link
[04:06] <FourX4Luvn> MrPiracy: I was only half right, it seems: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3571
[04:06] <gram> Starnestommy, How does the user change [include or exclude] entries in "Places"?
[04:06] <Twin> nyone know, why on tracker i cannot connect to seeder that is no connectable?
[04:06] <gram> How is it customized?
[04:06] <FourX4Luvn> MrPiracy: That should get you pointed in the right direction at least.
[04:06] <gram> Or IS it possible to change it?
[04:06] <natlinuxnewb> rhineheart_m: this is one way. Not the link i was looking for but http://www.wrigley.me.uk/wp/?p=71
[04:06] <gram> Surely it is a user defined menu?  Right?
[04:06] <BagelMaster> mjw- Yes.
[04:07] <Starnestommy> gram: some of it is controlled by nautilus's bookmarks menu
[04:07] <AtomicSpark> gram: open a Nautilus window
[04:07] <mjw-> BagelMaster well, you're not likely to like this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370219
[04:07] <jordanjay29> Mouse scroll wheel as guest under vmware? Possible or futile? Do mouse scroll wheels even work in native installations?
[04:07] <FourX4Luvn> MrPiracy: If can make a suggestion.. ditch amsn and go with pidgin.. I think you'll find it's a better program in most aspects.  And it does support TTF fonts
[04:07] <CoastonCute> Pidgin doesn't have mic or cam support, only downside.
[04:07] <AtomicSpark> gram: drag and drop a folder to the left menu when it says places
[04:08] <pyrak> i can't play dvds
[04:08] <pyrak> and i got all the repos
[04:08] <mjw-> BagelMaster it appears that the m3 is not capable of direct rendering above 1024x768x16bpp, and that may be the primary reason you get skipping from trying to do other things at the same time
[04:08] <AtomicSpark> should work for you :D
[04:08] <pyrak> vlc and ogle just crash
[04:08] <MrPiracy> FourX4Luvn: pidgin doesnt have webcam feature
[04:08] <natlinuxnewb> rhineheart_m: what version ubuntu do you do?
[04:08] <gram> Starnestommy, AtomicSpark  Thank you
[04:08] <cosmodad> anyone has an idea why I don't have /etc/init.d/hdparm although I have just re-installed hdparm?
[04:08] <FourX4Luvn> MrPiracy: I didn't know that.  I don't have a cam... eh.. that sucks.
[04:08] <PKdoR>    How can I uninstall sudo tar xvzf /home/pkdor/Desktop/nerolinux-3.0.1.3-x86.tar.gz
[04:08] <rhineheart_m> natlinuxnewb: gutsy gibbon
[04:08] <chrisb_> does anyone know how i would go about installing ubuntu server?
[04:08] <BagelMaster> mjw- I see, thanks for your help.
[04:08] <PKdoR> is it even install?
[04:08] <pawan> any audio conversion utiltiy
[04:09] <FourX4Luvn> chrisb_: Have you burned the CD yet?
[04:09] <chrisb_> not yet
[04:09] <MrPiracy> FourX4Luvn: you cant view someone's cam either
[04:09] <Starnestommy> PKdoR: if that was the only command you ran on it, it isn't installed
[04:09] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb use a server cd or a ubuntu dvd. both have server install options. i would use server cd because it has the install LAMP optoin which qiuckly sets it up
[04:09] <mjw-> BagelMaster the only other thing I can suggest is DefaultDepth 8  ....but then you're going to end up with only 256 colors :/
[04:09] <chrisb_> i'm in the process of making the cd
[04:09] <PKdoR> Starnestommy, so I just extracted i?
[04:09] <FourX4Luvn> chrisb_: Well.. y ou just need to download the iso, burn it to a CD, put the CD in the drive, and reboot your computer.  As long as your BIOS is set to boot from a CD drive, it will find it and start the install
[04:09] <Starnestommy> PKdoR: looks like it
[04:10] <chrisb_> ok
[04:10] <PKdoR> ok
[04:10] <rhineheart_m> natlinuxnewb: I have CD actually... But m asking if it would be possible to use another PC in the LAN that has CD drive shared over the network...
[04:10] <chrisb_> i've got a server with multiple hard drives, will the cd be able to handle that?
[04:10] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: Yes, if that other computer has an ftp server running on it, you could do an ftp install that way.
[04:10] <jordanjay29> Ok, I think I found a guide here: http://myunko.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/vmware-mouse-scroll-on-ubuntu/ What do I need to do to reload the x config? Just reboot, or do I need to input any commands?
[04:10] <PKdoR> Starnestommy, I guess I have to go make install route then
[04:10] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ yes. do you want to make them all one partion? do any raid?
[04:10] <rhineheart_m> natlinuxnewb: I found it tasking if m going to open the box again and after the installation process...remove it again
[04:10] <DKDTA> Hi all
[04:11] <CoastonCute> Hell
[04:11] <chrisb_> i'm going to set up raid
[04:11] <CoastonCute> Hello*
[04:11] <rhineheart_m> FourX4Luvn: Can I use filezilla server?
[04:11] <CoastonCute> Too tired for Computers. >.>
[04:11] <chrisb_> and they're both 18GB
[04:11] <DKDTA> If i install Ubuntu and have it partition an existing drive with Windows, will I be able to access my Windows files?
[04:11] <^rumput_kering^> good morning all
[04:11] <jordanjay29> DKDTA, I think if they're FAT, then yes
[04:11] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: Should be able to.  Shouldn't matter what the server is, so long as you configure the server to allow access to the cdrom drive.
[04:11] <fancy> I've a problem with viewing my .pdf files..i opened a magazine but some of the pages are black...
[04:11] <fancy> any good pdf viewer  ?
[04:12] <FourX4Luvn> rhineheart_m: Then, on the computer you're installing the OS onto, select ftp install and point it to the ftp server
[04:12] <DKDTA> Jordanjay29: what if it's NTFS?
[04:12] <ethan961> fancy, okular and evince
[04:12] <rhineheart_m> okay..so how would I configure the box to do the installation through ftp?
[04:12] <PKdoR> chrisb_, You'll have fun with that
[04:12] <fancy> ethan961, evince is what i have..but there are problems :P
[04:12] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ hardware raid is best, but if you're installing this on a non-server computer (you dont have a RAID controller), you should beable to set it up in custom partitioning. I've only messed with LVM myself. It's not fault-tolerant but it groups harddrives together.
[04:12] <chrisb_> with the raid, or the whole install?
[04:13] <jordanjay29> (DKDTA): http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#Windows Might help you
[04:13] <PKdoR> chrisb_, with raid
[04:13] <notyeta> hey, all, i have 2G physical memory, should set the swap size to 4G?
[04:13] <PKdoR> chrisb_, What raid are you using?
[04:13] <KlrSp1> notyeta: nah... try 512m
[04:13] <notyeta> why 512M?
[04:13] <KlrSp1> notyeta: the point of that much ram is to hopefully never touch swap
[04:14] <DKDTA> Does anyone know if I can use Ubuntu to help recover files from my broken Windows harddrive? I want to try doing this with the Ubuntu boot disk
[04:14] <DaZ>  imo at this amount of memory, swap partition is useless
[04:14] <Starnestommy> notyeta: 1GB to 4GB of swap should be fine
[04:14] <chrisb_> i'm not sure yet
[04:14] <notyeta> the offical say that the swap size should 2*your physical memory
[04:14] <avis> notyeta, i would do 4GB myself
[04:14] <astro76> notyeta: that's a myth
[04:14] <natlinuxnewb> rhineheart_m you can try this http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
[04:14] <DKDTA> jordanjay29: ok checking it out
[04:14] <danbhfive> notyeta: that's an old windows thing
[04:14] <KlrSp1> for smaller ammounts of ram it's not a bad practice
[04:14] <astro76> notyeta: 512 to 1gb is a good recommendation
[04:14] <AtomicSpark> @notyeta 32 bit operating systems cant use more then 2gb swap
[04:15] <astro76> notyeta: unless you want to hibernate, then make it same size as ram
[04:15] <chrisb_> i can
[04:15] <KlrSp1> < 1024m maybe
[04:15] <viktor> can someone help me install a tar.gz program i downloaded
[04:15] <KlrSp1> astro76: good point
[04:15] <pawan> any software to convert audio format
[04:15] <masterloki> i'm new to ubuntu and I need to change the permission of my user so I can read and write to my extra hd I know that I can use chmod but with do i use along with that so i can have read and write to use the hd's
[04:15] <chrisb_> i can't tell if it's hardware or not yet, but i'm thinking about a raid 1 config
[04:15] <natlinuxnewb> rhineheart_m you can try this http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
[04:15] <PKdoR> chrisb_, Raid 0-1-01-10-5
[04:15] <notyeta> okay, i will give it 1G
[04:15] <jordanjay29> IF the xorg.conf file is edited, what needs to be done to make it effective? Simple reboot?
[04:15] <danbhfive> notyeta: I have 2g ram, and the swap NEVER gets used
[04:15] <chrisb_> raid 1 probably
[04:15] <jordanjay29> (viktor): extract it
[04:15] <DaZ> viktor: ./configure && make && make install :F
[04:15] <danbhfive> notyeta: I just have it incase hibernation works someday
[04:15] <jordanjay29> or what Daz said
[04:15] <mjw-> BagelMaster are you still there
[04:16] <KlrSp1> danbhfive: yeah here at home i have 2g, and at work i have 4g and in neither do i ever use swap
[04:16] <BagelMaster> mjw- Yes
[04:16] <chrisb_> if i get to using most of the space, i'd like to have the backup ability
[04:16] <AtomicSpark> hibernation works in vista *hides*
[04:16] <viktor> what do i put after :
[04:16] <viktor> the name of folder
[04:17] <notyeta> i have 40G free disk space, my methods is: / 33g /home 5G swap 1G /boot 200M is it reasonable?
[04:17] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ raid 1 only mirrors the drive. you wont have more space.
[04:17] <FourX4Luvn> hibernation works in ubuntu too.. who said it doesn't?
[04:17] <mjw-> BagelMaster in that thread I linked to you, you might try some of the additional options he recommends adding to the driver section
[04:17] <astro76> notyeta: way too much in / if you have a /home
[04:17] <natlinuxnewb> Can anyone answer what I asked when i logged on?
[04:17] <DaZ> notyeta: why so much on / partition?
[04:17] <BagelMaster> mjw- Yea, I was just considering that
[04:17] <nickrud> notechyet: / 10 swap 1gb rest home
[04:17] <natlinuxnewb> I have just installed 7.10. Why does my monitor say "64k / 60Hz Frequency is out of range" then it carries on loading and the startup freezes (or seems to freeze - I can still hear the HD spinning) at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)"?
[04:17] <danbhfive> notyeta: / only needs like 10g,
[04:17] <AtomicSpark> @FourX4Luvn i ment sleepmode :| my laptop went into a coma last time i tried it.
[04:18] <danbhfive> notyeta: what nickrud said
[04:18] <FourX4Luvn> Oh.. yes.. suspend on some systems can be tricky.  It suspends just fine.. but sometimes won't wake up
[04:18] <masterloki> i'm new to ubuntu and I need to change the permission of my user so I can read and write to my extra hd I know that I can use chmod but with do i use along with that so i can have read and write to use the hd'sthe drives are formated to ext3 on both
[04:18] <notyeta> i only need 3 part, one is / and swap and /boot
[04:18] <notyeta> the size is/ 40G swap 2G /boot 200M
[04:18] <nickrud> notyeta: you don't need /boot , and separating home is a good idea
[04:19] <mjw-> BagelMaster ignore anything he says regarding mach64 files, modules in the first post....the M3 is not mach64 based
[04:19] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark  i know, but i don't think i'll need both drives for now, but i'd like to make sure i have a backup if something goes down
[04:19] <notyeta> ur...i should have a try
[04:20] <notyeta> but i think all part in a subarea of /
[04:20] <mjw-> BagelMaster that 1400x1050 screen must have been quite the premium option back when that laptop was purchased though
[04:20] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ its a good way to keep your system running. just remember it only prevents harddrive failure. not against viruses (ha), deleted files, or basically any software failure.
[04:20] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ the only real solution is backups!
[04:20] <nickrud> notyeta: the /boot and /home would be, but having /home separate is useful for using it with other installs, or for backups, or reinstalls
[04:20] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark  true that\
[04:20] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ whats this server for? just learning linux?
[04:20] <xinx> hey how can I give permissions to a folder can someone help me please?
[04:21] <BagelMaster> mjw- lol, I got it for free when an accounting firm in town packed up
[04:21] <evil> .rizon.net
[04:21] <nickrud> xinx: depends, either chmod or chown
[04:21] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark  it may end up as a web server, but for now it's just something to play with
[04:21] <mjw-> BagelMaster it must date from what, 2001? must have cost a fortune then ;)
[04:21] <notyeta> thanks, i am confused
[04:21] <xinx> chown
[04:21] <natlinuxnewb> xinx: tried right click in root nautilus?
[04:21] <xinx> for owner
[04:21] <xinx> right?
[04:21] <nickrud> xinx: yes
[04:21] <xinx> yes
[04:21] <xinx> chown
[04:21] <FloodBot1> xinx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:22] <co_kenter_fs> ghjghj
[04:22] <xinx> but I dont know how does it works :/
[04:22] <FourX4Luvn> chrisb_: AtomicSpark is right.  If it were me.. personally, I wouldn't do raid.. I'd just keep one drive for backups and implement a good backup plan.. One where you can have a few versions around just in case (for the accidentally deleted file, etc as AtomicSpark mentioned)
[04:22] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ i would use the LAMP option. i have had troubles getting mysql to work on other distros post-installation.
[04:22] <xinx> I want to write
[04:22] <benanzo> I'm considering a PS3 as a MythBuntu frontend
[04:22] <nickrud> notyeta: then do   / 10gb , 2xram to 2gb for swap, and the rest for /home . A very standard partitioning
[04:22] <BagelMaster> mjw- 2002 I believe, with all the insider trading and other back room schemes the firm was doing, I wouldn't doubt they outfitted themselves with the most expensive at the time
[04:22] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark   what exactly is the LAMP option?
[04:22] <not_guilty> hi folks
[04:22] <benanzo> I need WPA2 wifi, remote control, USB disk access, s-video out, and stereo sound
[04:22] <benanzo> will all this work?
[04:22] <notyeta> okay, thanks, need i have the swap part?
[04:22] <mjw-> BagelMaster sadly they didn't get a laptop that could do direct rendering in linux in 2008 with a screen of that resolution ;)
[04:23] <natlinuxnewb> I have just installed 7.10. Why does the startup freeze (or seems to freeze - I can still hear the HD spinning) at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)"?
[04:23] <BagelMaster> mjw- I actually chuckled out loud at that one.
[04:23] <nickrud> notyeta: it doesn't hurt, it's used to hold running programs that aren't in use.
[04:23] <FourX4Luvn> chrisb_: Then have a look at http://www.debianadmin.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html for a pretty cool little gui app for setting up backups
[04:23] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ its ubuntu's famous "15 min LAMP install" or something. LAMP stands for linux apache mysql and php. it sopposed to install all 4 and have them configured properly to prevent problems by doing it manually
[04:23] <chrisb_> @FourX4Luvn  if it doesn't already have a RAID card in it, i probably won't set up RAID, and i'll save some processor time
[04:23] <notyeta> sorry, where is the boot part?
[04:23] <nickrud> notyeta: leaving more actual memory for programs you are using. Speeds up the machine, lets you run more stuff
[04:24] <nickrud> notyeta: you don't need /boot , it will be on /
[04:24] <mjw-> BagelMaster it appears that the M3 is just underpowered for it.. :/
[04:24] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark    ok, I'll definitely check into that
[04:24] <DaZ> xinx: chmod o+w -R should give write premission for an owner to every file in the folder
[04:24] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ raid controllers are independent of cpu. thats why they're big and cost a lot of money. :P
[04:24] <xinx> ty :)
[04:24] <balzac> hello
[04:24] <mjw-> BagelMaster i suspect that's at least 50% the cause of the skipping, possibly coupled with the...uh...not-so-goodness of the ESS chipsets back in the day
[04:24] <balzac> I have a problem
[04:24] <FourX4Luvn> chrisb_: I've performed the LAMP install a couple times, and AtomicSpark is right.. it's a breeze to install.  Does take longer than 15 minutes, on my hardware anyway.. but it's still a nice install method.
[04:24] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark  i've installed Apache MySql and PHP on other systems before, is there some incompatability with ubuntu?
[04:24] <nickrud> notyeta: back when, you had to have the kernel at the beginning of the drive, that's why people would use a separate /boot. Not necessary any more
[04:25] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ now the onboard "controller" found on most motherboards will use a cpu time i think but we're comparing personal computers to servers now.
[04:25] <notyeta> ur... it's /10G swap 4G /home 26G
[04:25] <xinx> root@exos2:/home/jose# chmod o+w -R
[04:25] <xinx> chmod: missing operand after `o+w'
[04:25] <xinx> Try `chmod --help' for more information.
[04:25] <xinx> >.>
[04:25] <BagelMaster> mjw- No worries, I'll be getting a system76 notebook come summer
[04:25] <xinx> didnt work
[04:25] <balzac> when i'm typing, my computer has little momentary lapses in which key-strokes are not registered.
[04:25] <FloodBot1> xinx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:25] <notyeta> okay, is it reasonable?
[04:25] <nickrud> notyeta: up to 2 gb for swap is plenty
[04:25] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ not that i know of. just supposed to make it easier.
[04:25] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark   i'm not sure they'd eat as much time as a software raid
[04:25] <Starnestommy> xinx: chmod -R o+w /directory
[04:25] <nickrud> notyeta: otherwise it's a good layout
[04:25] <xinx> oh sorry
[04:25] <xinx> XD
[04:25] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark  i'm all for easier
[04:25] <balzac> All my keys work, but there are moments in which keystrokes won't be registered.
[04:26] <xinx> thank you it worked :D
[04:26] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ software raid is a joke. maybe MAYBE to make your harddrive bigger. if you lose your OS, you lose everything.
[04:26] <notyeta> ur..that's /10G swap 2G /home 28G right?
[04:26] <nickrud> notyeta: that's a good layout
[04:26] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark   which is why i wouldn't use it
[04:26] <FourX4Luvn> AtomicSpark: Use LVM if all you want to do is create a larger drive :)  You have the flexibility of dynamically resizing the virtual volume that way too
[04:26] <notyeta> okay, i will have a try, thanks
[04:27] <xinx> hey does anyone knows why everytime I type this  root@exos2:/home/jose# iphone-mount
[04:27] <xinx> Please add yourself to the fuse group, logout/in and try again.
[04:27] <xinx> doesnt work?
[04:27] <nickrud> xinx:   sudo adduser username fuse , log out and back in
[04:27] <xinx> k ty
[04:27] <FourX4Luvn> xinx: Your answer was included in your question..
[04:27] <mjw-> BagelMaster thankfully the C510 I inherited came with a Radeon Mobility M6...but not the 1400x1050 screen ;)
[04:27] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ my server is currently running CentOS 5, I'm considering changing to Ubuntu Server because things just work in Ubuntu. Configuring repos and priorities in Yum just takes too much time. (and I can't get MySQL to work.)
[04:28] <xinx> hehe
[04:28] <xinx> im new with ubuntu :p
[04:28] <FourX4Luvn> xinx: No worries :)
[04:28] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark   i will agree that ubuntu just works
[04:28] <AtomicSpark> i've had ubuntu for maybe a month now. i'm impressed so far.
[04:28] <AtomicSpark> it actully worked on my laptop.
[04:28] <chrisb_> Does anyone know what kind of Radeon drivers ubuntu has?
[04:29] <mjw-> chrisb_ what kind of radeon do you have
[04:29] <AtomicSpark> mm i'm using the restricted drivers right now.
[04:29] <FourX4Luvn> heh, AtomicSpark that's the same reason I converted.  Was the first distro I'd tried on my laptop that actually worked without a bunch of tweaking.
[04:29] <nickrud> amazing, wasn't it. I was floored, installed, rebooted, everything but wireless Works for Me™
[04:29] <AtomicSpark> havent gamed on it but it runs the Compiz packages well. :P
[04:29] <xinx> do you mean by logout and login again is logout of the Terminal or logout of the system?
[04:29] <PKdoR> is there a gui for 7z?
[04:29] <FourX4Luvn> xinx: the system
[04:29] <xinx> k
[04:29] <xinx> brb ty
[04:29] <nickrud> xinx: logout of the gui.
[04:29] <mjw-> chrisb_ if you're in linux, paste the result of   lspci | grep -i vga
[04:30] <FourX4Luvn> PKdoR: file roller has a plugin to support 7z
[04:30] <chrisb_> @mjw-   ok, one moment, i'm in ubuntu now
[04:30] <AtomicSpark> @PKdoR no. only 7z for linux is p7z which is command line only.
[04:30] <Pkunk> you can always use wine if you want the GUI
[04:31] <PKdoR> FourX4Luvn, how would I go about insalling his plugging?
[04:31] <nickrud> AtomicSpark: fileroller will use p7zip if it's installed
[04:31] <chrisb_> @mjw-  here's what i got:  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 9505
[04:31] <Pkunk> the 7z gui was pretty shitty the last time i used it though
[04:31] <nickrud> AtomicSpark: or p7zip-full, I forget which
[04:31] <bazhang> langugae Pkunk
[04:31] <FourX4Luvn> PKdoR: What nickrud just said.. install p7zip and then fire up file-roller
[04:32] <AtomicSpark> @nickrud p7zip-full and the rar option :) it will get you set right.
[04:32] <mjw-> chrisb_ is this a new computer?
[04:32] <chrisb_> @mjw-   yes, yes it is
[04:32] <AtomicSpark> @nickrud rar is needed for all the people who keep loving it for some reason.
[04:32] <nickrud> AtomicSpark: ug.
[04:32] <mjw-> chrisb_ ah, you'll have to use the proprietary ati driver for sure then
[04:32] <chrisb_> @mjw-    how would i go about doing that?
[04:32] <FourX4Luvn> AtomicSpark: The rar love is from the windows world.  One of the best, halfway widely supported compression algorithms
[04:33] <AtomicSpark> @ FourX7Luvn I push 7z as much as I can in the windows world. ;)
[04:33] <chrisb_> @mjw-    my graphics are ok, except a certain points when ubuntu is loading, and i don't have 3D acceleration
[04:33] <FourX4Luvn> AtomicSpark: Push bzip2 instead :)
[04:33]  * nickrud thinks rar ~= pirated 
[04:33] <FourX4Luvn> AtomicSpark: Even better than 7z for compression ratios
[04:33] <ElMasInexpertos> hi all! I have just intalled Ubuntu 7.10 on a laptop, but the Operating system does not have all the drivers for the hardware (the scren or video card, for example). How can I say to system that it must search new drivers on line?
[04:33] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ you might have it if you install xgl i needed that package to get it to work.
[04:34] <FourX4Luvn> AtomicSpark: And of course, it's more widely supported for us ;-)
[04:34] <mjw-> chrisb_ yeah, you'll need the so-called 'fglrx' driver to get that going - were you prompted by the restricted drivers manager?
[04:34] <bazhang> ElMasInexpertos: what card
[04:34] <AtomicSpark> @FourX4Luvn well I use it now. :P
[04:34] <amenado> ElMasInexpertos-> you did not try the liveCD first to see how it looks and feel?
[04:35] <rkj> hello, I have a question - I have an ubuntu 7.10 system that I use with gnome.  A week ago somebody suggested I install the kde-desktop package and then I could use either one by just selecting an option at login.  I did that and discovered I really like kde; but when I went back to gnome, all my desktop icons had disappeared, and my keyboard didn't work. A system reboot fixed it, but I'm wondering if any of you wizards might know why.
[04:35] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[04:35] <chrisb_> @mjw-    no
[04:35] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ then use synaptic package manager to find xserver-xgl just search for xgl and you'll find it
[04:35] <bazhang> rkj you mean the kubuntu-desktop package?
[04:35] <ElMasInexpertos> Yes amenado, I tried it, but I was thinking that maybe I could upgrade the hardware after the installation
[04:35] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ logout and log in and everything should work.
[04:35] <rkj> bazhang yes, from synaptic package manager
[04:36] <mjw-> chrisb_ you may want to hunt around the ubuntu forums...you'd have to install the ATI driver from their website to get acceleration going for sure.
[04:36] <rkj> bazhang it changed my splash page to say kubuntu
[04:36] <bazhang> rkj what splash screen loads kubuntu?
[04:36] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ restricted driver @ xgl package will get 3d acceleration working for you
[04:36] <amenado> ElMasInexpertos-> you can try to upgrade, just do  apt-get upgrade
[04:36] <EchoBinary> is there a how-to on installing xen as a Dom0 on a ubuntu (xubuntu)  desktop environment? all the tutorials assume a server environment...
[04:37] <EchoBinary> ..that i have found, anywyas
[04:37] <mjw-> AtomicSpark his card is so recent the restricted driver manager's version of it may even be too old - he wasn't prompted by it
[04:37] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark   i have the restricted driver program loaded already, just not the xgl package
[04:37] <nickrud> chrisb_: if you have to use the driver from the ati wesite (that is, if AtomicSpark's advice doesn't work because it's a really new card) http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide is good
[04:37] <rkj> bazhang I get the same splash screen either way, but it's probably not important
[04:37] <chrisb_> @nickrud  thanks
[04:38] <AtomicSpark> @echobinary i recommend  KVM/QEMU for client messingsaround with virtual machines
[04:38] <bazhang> rkj you want pure gnome, pure kde or a mix of both using some apps from each
[04:38] <AtomicSpark> @echobinary https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM it will be installed by default in next release of ubuntu
[04:38] <EchoBinary> AtomicSpark: what makes it more advisable than Xen?
[04:38] <ElMasInexpertos> amenado: I did it and nothing changed
[04:40] <AtomicSpark> @ EchoBinary Xen and VMware are hypervisors. they take over your host os and run everything on top of it. KVM is included in the linux binary and gives direct access to the hardware. it lets your guest os control resources of the VM
[04:40] <mjw-> chrisb_ ah, in that case, the xgl-server package would help
[04:40] <amenado> ElMasInexpertos-> nothing changed? nothing was downloaded?
[04:41] <eltux> does anyone know a way to have side button functionality on their mouse in Ubuntu?
[04:41] <AtomicSpark> @chrisb_ it's xserver-xgl, i just checked :D
[04:41] <eltux> i miss it
[04:41] <jordan> can i add the server features to the desktop version?
[04:41] <amenado> jordan yes, which feature are you after to serve?
[04:41] <AtomicSpark> @ jordan. yes. just add the packages you want via the synaptic package manager.
[04:41] <nickrud> chrisb_: before you install the xserver-xgl, run   fglrxinfo  and make sure it's using the ati 8.37.6 driver , and run  glxinfo | grep direct to make sure you have direct rendering
[04:41] <bazhang> jordan you mean have a server but with a gui?
[04:41] <ElMasInexpertos> amenado: There were many files downloaded, but the drivers were not updated....
[04:41] <EchoBinary> AtomicSpark: is there a performance difference?
[04:42] <chrisb_> @nickrud ok
[04:42] <nickrud> jordan: absolutely
[04:42] <jordan> no. i mean have a gui with server features
[04:42] <FourX4Luvn> eltux: do a search for zaxismapping on google.  Lots of information out there to help you.
[04:42] <rkj> bazhang I guess I could choose one or the other and stick with it, but it would be nice to just be able to switch back and forth
[04:42] <chrisb_> @AtomicSpark  i found the ATI drivers package  (xgl)
[04:42] <amenado> ElMasInexpertos-> maybe it have, which directory where you looking at for the drivers?
[04:42] <jordan> i have ubuntu desktop installed and i want to add the server features on top of it
[04:42] <eltux> FourX4Luvin: I have btnx installed for my mouse but it aint working quite right
[04:42] <bazhang> rkj so you want a pure gnome and a pure kde side by side, or like the mix
[04:42] <AtomicSpark> @ echobinary kvm is relatively new. i am not sure which is "faster" now. I never used Xen since KVM is preferred by ubuntu.
[04:42] <Snurglewozzle> Question: I'm having big problems after trying Xubuntu (bad idea) and then trying to remove it and return to "straight" Ubuntu.  Can I simply reinsall Ubuntu and NOT lose 30gb or so worth of movie files I've copied onto this server?
[04:43] <jordan> like apache and stuff
[04:43] <nickrud> jordan: I run apache, mysql, ssh server on my laptop
[04:43] <rkj> bazhang there are definitely some nice apps that come with kde and I now have access to them in gnome
[04:44] <ElMasInexpertos> amenado: I just used apt-get upgrade and also I reboot the system...
[04:44] <ElMasInexpertos> I did not do more
[04:44] <eltux> FourX4Luvn: I have an MX Revolution and it seems like I've been down this road before
[04:44] <FourX4Luvn> jordan: 'sudo apt-get install apache2
[04:44] <AtomicSpark> @ echobinary here is a random performance thing i found. of course i never trust these things. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=623&num=1
[04:44] <Smegzor> I set Nautilus to preview sounds, but it only ever did that when my Ubuntu was new.  Why would that feature not work anymore?
[04:44] <NemesisD> anyone happen to know what the ubuntu background manager does with wallpapers? does it copy them somewhere? is there some sort of flat file that stores their settings?
[04:44] <Zeddie> Snurglewozzle: have you got your media files on another partition?
[04:44] <tanath> when i click the show desktop button with compiz running, it shunts the windows out of the way instead of minimizing them. how do i fix that?
[04:44] <Snurglewozzle> Zeddie: no
[04:44] <AtomicSpark> @ echobinary here is a comparison http://www.gridvm.org/xen-vs-kvm.html
[04:44] <Zeddie> Snurglewozzle: if you don't then you might want to look into splitting your existing partition :)
[04:45] <bazhang> tanath in the ccsm plugins
[04:45] <Snurglewozzle> GOOD idea, zeddie
[04:45] <tanath> bazhang, i've been looking
[04:45] <nickrud> NemesisD: it creates and tracks pointers to the files, it doesn't copy them anywhere. If you move the picture, the wallpaper handler won't be able to find it
[04:45] <notyeta> i met the problem again, should i set the /home to extend part or primary part?
[04:45] <amenado> ElMasInexpertos-> which driver are you looking for exactly?
[04:45] <Zeddie> Snurglewozzle: i think it's parted that does it but I could be wrong :)
[04:45] <NemesisD> nickrud, well thats silly...
[04:45] <bazhang> tanath they disappear? completely gone?
[04:45] <amenado> notyeta  it does not matter, your choice
[04:45] <FourX4Luvn> eltux: Perhaps look here then?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2727025
[04:46] <Snurglewozzle> I just wish I could do a "repair" installation of ubuntu...  isn't that possible?
[04:46] <nickrud> notyeta: you create an extended, then a logical inside the extended. That's the one that would be /home
[04:46] <ElMasInexpertos> amenado: wifi card (i'm searching the exact name of it)
[04:46] <AtomicSpark> man ubuntu 8.04 alpha 4 takes forever to install in kvm
[04:46] <tanath> bazhang, i have most effects and stuff turned off. i can't find what's doing this. i haven't enabled it deliberately, and it didn't always do this
[04:46] <Zeddie> Snurglewozzle: hmm good question
[04:46] <nickrud> NemesisD: not really, it allows you to use pictures from anywhere almost
[04:46] <tanath> bazhang, it just pushes them off the screen
[04:46] <notyeta> that's say the /home should be extended part?
[04:46] <eltux> FourX4Luvn: I already have it and I'm lost with it
[04:46] <amenado> ElMasInexpertos-> did it work while on the liveCD ?
[04:46] <Zeddie> Snurglewozzle: kinda like a dist-upgrade?
[04:46] <Smegzor> hmm..  maybe it was kde that had that feature?  oh well..
[04:46] <Snurglewozzle> yeah
[04:46] <bazhang> tanath still not clear on what the issue is--they windows are gone and closed, or just cant locate them
[04:46] <nickrud> notyeta: it would be the logical partition. Create an exented, then a logical.
[04:46] <sin|g|_> \join #programming
[04:47] <Zeddie> I'm not quite sure how you'd do that across branches
[04:47] <NemesisD> i guess
[04:47] <jordan> ty
[04:47] <Snurglewozzle> You know, just fix the startup problems
[04:47] <FourX4Luvn> eltux: Ok, well I'm afraid I can't help you then.  I don't have side buttons anymore even.  (My mouse died! *sniff*)
[04:47] <Snurglewozzle> I can't get past the initial screens without hitting "OK"
[04:47] <notyeta> okay
[04:47] <nickrud> notyeta: the extended partition is a trick to let you have more than 4 partitions
[04:47] <Snurglewozzle> man, DO NOT install xubuntu, by the way. impossible to get back out of it without major problems.
[04:47] <Snurglewozzle> no exec line in the session file
[04:47] <notyeta> if i create another part such as /work, should i set it to extended?
[04:47] <nickrud> !mouse | eltux
[04:47] <ubotu> eltux: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[04:47] <eltux> FourX4Luvn: Yeah, its a feature I can't live without, sorry to hear about your mouse man. Thanks for your help
[04:47] <Snurglewozzle> no exec line in the session file: xcfe 4
[04:47] <tanath> bazhang, the issue is, they windows should be minimized. it causes issues sometimes... i don't want it to move them, i want it to revert to the original behaviour of minimizing them
[04:48] <Snurglewozzle> how can I find the session file to remove that line from?
[04:48] <bazhang> tanath so you want non-compiz behaviour with compiz?
[04:48] <AtomicSpark> @ Snurglewozzle Ironic. The guy who pushed me to linux swares by KDE.
[04:48] <tanath> bazhang, i've had a couple minor issues because of it
[04:48] <amenado> notyeta  it does not matter, your choice
[04:48] <eltux> nickrud: been down that road, its a MX Revolution, already have btnx installed but not too sure how to configure it. Lost right now :D
[04:48] <notyeta> okay, thanks a lot.
[04:48] <bazhang> tanath what issues--this sounds more of an annoyance than anything
[04:49] <ElMasInexpertos> amenado: no, I didn't but i imagine it can be downloaded and installed from here. it's: AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter
[04:49] <nickrud> eltux: ah, one of those. I haven't played with it, don't have one
[04:49] <Snurglewozzle> kde might be ok, but xubuntu doesn't install cleanly on top of ubuntu
[04:49] <tanath> bazhang, uh, AFAICT every effect has been customizable or easily disabled in compiz. i just can't find this one
[04:49] <eltux> nickrud: I'm totally lost xD
[04:49] <Snurglewozzle> how can I find the session file to remove a trouble-making line?
[04:49] <Snurglewozzle> the error I get on startup is: "no exec line in the session file"
[04:49] <FourX4Luvn> eltux: Another thought.. dunno if it would work for you or not.. The side buttons only work in firefox even when they do work, isn't that right?
[04:49] <bazhang> tanath what is the effect; I will try it
[04:49] <Snurglewozzle> no exec line in the session file: xfce 4
[04:49] <tanath> bazhang, it was more of an annoyance. but do you know how to change this behaviour or not?
[04:49] <nickrud> Snurglewozzle: it's probably in ~/.xfce4 (?)
[04:50] <tanath> bazhang, click the show desktop button
[04:50] <nickrud> Snurglewozzle: that's a directory, look for the session file in there
[04:50] <eltux> nickrud: they don't work at all, I would be happy with basic firefox useage
[04:50] <Snurglewozzle> hmm
[04:50] <bazhang> tanath I just offered to try it; you dont want help after all?
[04:50] <jimmygoon> So if I want the global_menu like the mac menu hack... do I want the code loaded from google_code repos? or should I actually follow the ubuntu wiki?
[04:50] <rainwalker> tanath: what are you trying to do?
[04:50] <amenado> ElMasInexpertos-> look around /lib/modules/`uname -r`/
[04:50] <AtomicSpark> @Snurglewozzle: Do you think KDE didn't install properly? Did you log into a KDE session?
[04:50] <Snurglewozzle> and what do I do -- remove the session file altogether?
[04:50] <Snurglewozzle> I'm trying to boot into gnome now so why is taht xfce4 even in there?
[04:50] <tanath> rainwalker, when clicking show desktop with compiz, it has started to shunt the windows off the screen instead of minimizing them. i want to return it to the original behaviour
[04:51] <nickrud> Snurglewozzle: on the gui login screen, select options->session
[04:51] <FourX4Luvn> eltux: You could install mouse gesture firefox extension.. it supports something called 'button rocking' or somesuch.. You can go back by clicking right mouse button, left mouse button in quick succession... reverse the procedure for going forward.
[04:51] <AtomicSpark> @snugglewozzel i have compiz enabled w/ xserver-xgl it has a custom login session
[04:51] <rainwalker> tanath: I think that's the default compiz behavior
[04:51] <Snurglewozzle> hmm...  it's set to auto login
[04:51] <tanath> rainwalker, wasn't before, but regardless. how do i fix it?
[04:51] <nickrud> Snurglewozzle: there's your problem :)
[04:51] <bazhang> heh
[04:51] <FourX4Luvn> eltux: Not exactly what you want, but a little better than nothing.. It's what I settled on until I get money for another mouse with side buttons
[04:51] <eltux> FourX4Luvn: Kinda like in Opera, Hrm I'll look into it
[04:51] <Snurglewozzle> amoticspark: I installed xubuntu and then tried to uninstall it and now when I boot, I get the error described above and gnome default desktop launches
[04:52] <jack-desktop> snkmad, how do you get out of fullscreen mode in virtualbox?
[04:52] <nickrud> FourX4Luvn: that sounds like a seriously geeky hack
[04:52] <rainwalker> tanath: you mean it didn't do that before when using compiz? or when using metacity?
[04:52] <tanath> rainwalker, never used to before in compiz. metacity doesn't do that
[04:52] <FourX4Luvn> eltux: Yes.. exactly.  it also has mouse gestures, invoked with the right mouse button.. supports a ton of actions.. closing window, opening new one, reloading.. etc. etc.
[04:52] <Snurglewozzle> what's my problem, nickrud?
[04:52] <tanath> *that
[04:52] <kLownish> can anyone help with some nfs issues?
[04:53] <AtomicSpark> is there a official irc server url? i'm using irc.ubuntu.com.. it would be nice to have a server with only official rooms.
[04:53] <FourX4Luvn> nickrud: Hey.. I didn't write it.. I just think it's a good extension  heh ;-)
[04:53] <bazhang> rainwalker: tanath needs to specify the precise plugins he is using before we can resolve this
[04:53] <nickrud> Snurglewozzle: the login manager is trying to start the desktop you last used, which was xfce4. But, xfce4 is gone.  Log out, and at the gui options->session->gnome
[04:53] <tanath> bazhang, ok, gimme a min
[04:53] <Snurglewozzle> ah, nickrud
[04:53] <Snurglewozzle> good thought -- I just need to re-enable login
[04:53] <rainwalker> tanath: ah...well I never actually noticed that it did it differently, but I don't really use the show desktop thing much. I'll look around some and let you know if I figure anything out
[04:53] <nickrud> Snurglewozzle: just logging out should get you to the login iirc
[04:54] <jscinoz> Can it be confirmed that opengl performance with 8 series nvidia cards is currently lacking due to bad drivers (on all platforms, not just Linux)
[04:54] <kLownish> im attempting to mount my western digital netcenter, and everytime i try, i get a permission denied..
[04:54] <MrPiracy> nickrud: do you have any idea of how i could manually adjust my keyboard layout to use ç instead of ć when i type ' + c?
[04:54] <tanath> bazhang, rainwalker aha, i found it. not sure how i missed it: the show desktop plugin
[04:55] <bazhang> jscinoz: many complaints, esp with the 8800
[04:55] <JohnRobert> is anyone aware of a bug with wine on ubuntu resulting in no sound? I've got a fresh install of ubuntu 7.10, all sound works apart from in wine (winecfg sound test only seems to work on oss too)
[04:55] <FourX4Luvn> kLownish: Try running mount as root?  'sudo mount /dev/whatever /mount/point'
[04:55] <tanath> bazhang, i feel silly now. i looked through them twice, but missed it both times
[04:55] <nickrud> MrPiracy: not a clue, I'm a clueless english only user, never needed any language settings
[04:55] <rainwalker> tanath: yeah I already looked, it doesn't let you change how it hides the windows
[04:55] <JohnRobert> I'm thinking it's something to do with this new pulseaudio thing
[04:55] <bazhang> tanath haha nice work finding them
[04:55] <Snurglewozzle> trying now, nickrud...  wish me luck!
[04:55] <tanath> rainwalker, just turn it off :)
[04:55] <MrPiracy> nickrud: ok, thx
[04:55] <rainwalker> tanath: ah! hadn't thought of that
[04:55] <jscinoz> bazhang, im using an 8400M GS (not the best, but its decent) and it struggles to run sauerbraten at more than 10fps
[04:55] <killux> hey, how do you resize the gnome-panel width?
[04:55] <tanath> rainwalker, i have most plugins off. many are unstable
[04:56] <Snurglewozzle> I think it's working, nickrud!
[04:56] <tanath> rainwalker, or useless to me
[04:56] <jscinoz> bazhang, of all the games i've tried, urbanterror (which i'm trying to get into hardy+1) runs the best at 125fps.
[04:56] <ctex> killux - Right click, properties I think
[04:56] <kLownish> i tried.  sudo mount -t nfs -o rw 192.168.2.3:/shares/Main/mp3 /media/mp3
[04:56]  * Snurglewozzle beats chest, howls into the night sky.
[04:56] <tanath> rainwalker, so i'm used to turning them off :P
[04:56] <nickrud> killux: you got two choices: full width, and the width of the icons. Right click, properties
[04:56] <bazhang> jscinoz: the restricted drivers manager installed those cards or done manually from the site or 0ther (envy etc)
[04:56] <kLownish> and it keeps giving me the same error.
[04:56] <tanath> bazhang, rainwalker, thanks guys
[04:56] <jscinoz> bazhang, yes im using the driver providded by envy (much newer than the one in repo, and it seems faster)
[04:56] <nickrud> Snurglewozzle: good on ya!
[04:56] <Snurglewozzle> nickrud: I am now doing a full reboot (after changing login info) -- keep your fingers crossed
[04:56] <FourX4Luvn> kLownish: Oh!  it's a remote mount.  Have you checked your NFS exports on the host computer?
[04:56] <Snurglewozzle> this will save me a LOT of hassle
[04:56] <killux> nickrud, when i choose it in properties it expands the length of the panel, not the width
[04:57] <FourX4Luvn> kLownish: /etc/exports /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
[04:57] <rainwalker> ahhh crap...how do you run a command in a terminal so that you can close the terminal and it will keep running?
[04:57] <nickrud> killux: by width, I mean screen width
[04:57] <bazhang> jscinoz: you do know this channel's thinking about that script I presume ;]
[04:57] <kLownish> fourX4luvn, its not a 'remote computer' its a network storage device.
[04:57] <PKdoR> what the difference between xarchive and xachiver?
[04:57] <nickrud> killux: oh, you mean height :)
[04:57] <amenado> kLownish-> also check no_root_squash from the nfs server
[04:57] <killux> nickrud, me too, i want the panel to expand across the screen more than it is
[04:57] <bazhang> the letter 'r'
[04:57] <killux> but not all the way
[04:58] <nickrud> killux: two choices only
[04:58] <FourX4Luvn> kLownish: Ahh.. Ok.. sorry I missed that if you said that already.  Well, does the NAS have a web admin or something like that, where you can control who has access to it?
[04:58] <Snurglewozzle> It worked, nickrud!  IT WORKED!  YES!
[04:58] <jscinoz> bazhang yes, i know, but the method by which i install the driver is mostly irrelevant now, the fact is, no matter which driver version, no matter how i install (apt-get, envy or nvidia package) my 3d performance is far to low for this hardware :(
[04:58] <harrumph> anybody know why parallels doesn't like the 7.10 cd?  installer just prompts to insert a cd, it's in there.  did i burn the right iso?
[04:58] <rainwalker> emerald just died on me...and for some reason now pressing alt + F2 won't bring up the run dialog...help?
[04:58]  * Snurglewozzle carries nickrud around #ubuntu, hooting and hollering, clapping and laughing
[04:58] <FY1> hello, I am trying to connect to my windows computer via ubuntu. ubuntu picks up the workgroup and the desktop (windows computer), but just loads
[04:58] <FY1> any ideas on how to get that working?
[04:59] <killux> nickrud?
[04:59] <FY1> !networking
[04:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about networking - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:59] <kLownish> FourX4Luvn, it has a webadmin, but all it allows is nfs, or CIFS
[04:59] <linxuz3r> when is hardy heron gonna be released?
[04:59] <bazhang> jscinoz: that is odd; I have the 7300 and it runs fps games quite well
[04:59] <mjw-> !hardy > linxuz3r
[04:59] <AtomicSpark> @FY1: what are you trying to do? connect to a share?
[04:59] <nickrud> killux: that's just the way the panel works, either full width of the screen, or just big enough to hold all the contents. No fine control
[04:59] <FourX4Luvn> klownish1: Ok.. it doesn't offer an access control?
[04:59] <FY1> AtomicSpark: access the public folder on the computer
[04:59] <klownish> FourX4Luvn: no, not at all.
[04:59] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: For the NFS portion
[04:59] <jscinoz> bazhang, can you install sauerbraten from the official repos, and tell me what framerate you get?
[04:59] <killux> nickrud ok
[04:59] <amenado> whoa.. install  ubuntu-desktop  reinstall 384MB  including openoffice
[04:59] <Snurglewozzle> harrumph: I have a weird suggestion for you.  Something similar happened to me on the PC.  I burned a 7.10 DVD instead of CD and it worked.  Don't ask me why.
[04:59] <jscinoz> bazhang, i believe its quite small
[05:00] <FY1> but I get Sorry, could not display all the contents.......
[05:00] <Dr_willis> FY1,    You want Ubuntu to access a public share on the windows box? or windws tp access the ubuntu box?
[05:00] <jscinoz> bazhang, around 210mb
[05:00] <ElMasInexpertos> bazhang: sorry, i've just seen your message, it's a AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter
[05:00] <killux> nickrud i am also using awn, i like it but i dont like how the windows can go below it
[05:00] <bazhang> jscinoz: what command would I use to check the fps?
[05:00] <FY1> dr_willis, first option
[05:00] <rainwalker> bazhang do you know what I should do?
[05:00] <ElMasInexpertos> :)
[05:00] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: Wow.. I would of thought they all would have some sort of ACL for security purposes.  Afraid I have no idea then, sorry.
[05:00] <killux> does anyone know a way if that can change
[05:00] <jscinoz> bazhang, shown by default at bottom right corner
[05:00] <bazhang> rainwalker: sorry missed your question
[05:00] <Snurglewozzle> I burned two or three 7.10 CDs but the friggin' computer refused to recognize them even though it DID recognize other CDs.  For some reason it allowed to be booted up by the DVD instead
[05:00] <nickrud> killux: yeah, it's still a work in progress. I set it to autohide, it kinda counters that behavior
[05:01] <AtomicSpark> FY1: Go to Places > Connect to server. Change to windows share. Add computer IP for server. share name for share. click OK.
[05:01] <zelrikriando> hi nickrud
[05:01] <bazhang> jscinoz: just a moment--sauerbraten right?
[05:01] <FY1> AtomicSpark: I will try that, thanks :)
[05:01] <killux> nickrud, awn is being developed actively?
[05:01] <nickrud> zelrikriando: how's the desktop? Found anything to do with it yet :)
[05:01] <jscinoz> bazhang yes, it should also install package sauerbraten-data
[05:01] <AtomicSpark> @Fy1 wait i forgot. dont forget the user name or it will try to use your ubuntu user!
[05:01] <harrumph> thx snurglewozzle
[05:01] <nickrud> killux: I do believe so
[05:01] <zelrikriando> ?
[05:01] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: Wait.. that could be it.. Is it being exported as CIFS and not NFS perhaps?  have you tried to smbmount it?
[05:01] <harrumph> trying that
[05:01] <AtomicSpark> @FY1 it will prompt for password when you open the folder on desktop or in places
[05:01] <rainwalker> bazhang: emerald just died on me, and I need to restart it, I don't know how to run it from the terminal in a way that I can close the terminal and have it keep running, and for some reason my run dialog box doesn't show up with alt + F2
[05:01] <klownish> FourX4Luvn: it gives me the option for both
[05:02] <nickrud> zelrikriando: hm, might have mixed you up with someone else. I thought you said you were bored, everything was working
[05:02] <AtomicSpark> SSH FTW
[05:02] <chrisn> hi
[05:02] <klownish> FourX4Luvn: both of them are checked at the moment
[05:02] <mjw-> rainwalker emerald &
[05:02] <nickrud> rainwalker: alt-f2  emerald
[05:02] <ctex> whoa..You can use the classic dvorak keyboard layout in ubuntu...
[05:02] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: Just for giggles, try to SMB mount it then.  Perhaps it uses some screwed up NFS protocol
[05:02] <chrisn> has anyone else had problems with flash completely freezing their system?
[05:02] <FY1> AtomicSpark: what do I put as share? the host name?
[05:02] <rainwalker> nickrud: alt + f2 isn't bringing up the run dialog
[05:02] <chrisn> ctrl-alt backspace doesn't even work
[05:02] <mjw-> FY1 the share name is something you specify on the windows machine
[05:03] <killux> nickrud do you know of anyway to just remove the last gnome panel
[05:03] <ctex> rainwalker - Are you sure you have the "f-lock" active if you have the Microsoft keyboard?
[05:03] <rainwalker> mjw-: it doesn't work
[05:03] <bazhang> rainwalker: what about the gui run command in the menu?
[05:03] <killux> i dont even need it
[05:03] <AtomicSpark> @FY1 no the share name. so like in windows you had \\computer\share put the ip address of computer as the server and the share as the share name!
[05:03] <mjw-> rainwalker define it doesn't work?
[05:03] <nickrud> rainwalker: hm, then in the terminal type   emerald &  ; disown <tab>  <-- press tab
[05:03] <AtomicSpark> @FY1 i say ip address because computer name might now work
[05:03] <rainwalker> bazhang: that's what I'm talking about, it won't come up
[05:03] <FY1> AtomicSpark: I got it to work without including a share name... thanks for your help :)
[05:03] <bazhang> jscinoz: installing will take a few...
[05:03] <FY1> I used the IP of it
[05:03] <FY1> thanks again
[05:03] <jscinoz> bazhang, sure i've got time to wait :P
[05:03] <klownish> FourX4Luvn: im kinda new to all this, mind giving me a quick runthrew of smb?
[05:03] <ctex> rainwalker - Do you have "f-lock" on your keyboard?
[05:04] <AtomicSpark> @FY1 you can also go to Places > Network and browse :P but i'm not sure that would work well with authentication.
[05:04] <rainwalker> ctex: I have the fn key, but I don't know what lock you're talking about
[05:04] <bazhang> rainwalker: otherwise append the ampersand to the back of the command
[05:04] <eltux> FourX4Luvn: YAY I GOT BTNX WORKIN! hehe
[05:04] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: Hrm.. have to give me a minute then.. I dont' recall how to smbmount for sure
[05:04] <FY1> yeah, it didn't work too well :D... it would just timeout/load forever
[05:04] <FourX4Luvn> eltux: Congrats!  :)
[05:04] <rainwalker> nickrud, after pressing tab what do I do?
[05:04] <eltux> FourX4Luvn: I feel smart now hahah
[05:04] <chrisn> gah this is driving me nuts
[05:04] <mjw-> rainwalker using the ampersand (&) should keep the process running - even if the xterm is closed
[05:04] <AtomicSpark> FY1: lawl I can only see two computers on my network in that. fail.
[05:04] <Snurglewozzle> what is it chrisn
[05:04] <nickrud> rainwalker: you should see %emerald  , hit enter. Then you can close the terminal
[05:05] <rainwalker> mjw-: it doesn't...it's gnome-terminal, if that matters
[05:05] <Dr_willis> close the xterm with the 'exit' comand rainwalker  DONT just hit the close button
[05:05] <bazhang> chrisn what is your issue--what are you trying to do
[05:05] <AtomicSpark> linux NFS is so much better.
[05:05] <AtomicSpark> even windows to windows fails a lot. :|
[05:05] <AtomicSpark> SSH pawns all though.
[05:05] <mjw-> rainwalker maybe xfce4-terminal behaves differently...? I could swear i start commands in xterm all the time with & and close them and they keep running
[05:05] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-mount-remote-windows-partition-windows-share-under-linux.html
[05:06] <rainwalker> Dr_willis: THANK YOU! that's what I was doing wrong
[05:06] <Dr_willis> rainwalker,  :)
[05:06] <Dr_willis> rainwalker,  common mistake.
[05:06] <chrisn> When I view flash websites in any browser, my whole computer freezes
[05:06] <rainwalker> mjw-: apparently I have to use the "exit" command to close it
[05:06] <chrisn> I am forced to do a hard reset
[05:06] <mjw-> rainwalker ah....yeah, i always use exit...probably why I've not encountered that problem :)
[05:06] <bazhang> chrisn just the one window or several tabs
[05:06] <BaconBits> kill/9?
[05:06] <rainwalker> nickrud: I have it fixed now, but what you were saying still didn't work...%emerald never showed up
[05:07] <chrisn> bazhang: both
[05:07] <AtomicSpark> mounting shares seems iffy. i would just stick with adding the share to your places :\
[05:07] <BaconBits> GENTOO GENTOO GENTOO GENTOO.
[05:07] <rainwalker> wow, it's crazy how ugly my desktop looks without shadows...
[05:07] <FourX4Luvn> rainwalker: ctrl+d at the prompt works too, and saves you some keystrokes :)
[05:07] <BaconBits> GENTOO GENTOO GENTOO GENTOO.
[05:07] <mjw-> !ot > BaconBits
[05:07] <bazhang> chrisn you have the newest non-free flash plugin?
[05:07] <BaconBits> ghello
[05:07] <chrisn> bazhang: yes
[05:07] <bazhang> BaconBits: #gentoo ;]
[05:07] <BaconBits> Gentoo is just plain better than ubuntu
[05:07] <nickrud> rainwalker: hm, I do that here regularly. Once for a very important thing I backgrounded and pressed the wrong window's close button.
[05:08] <AtomicSpark> ... need a "do not let stupid user close window" option
[05:08] <bazhang> chrisn when installed
[05:08] <mjw-> chrisn you haven't installed gnash have you?
[05:08] <FourX4Luvn> lol AtomicSpark
[05:08] <chrisn> bazhang: no
[05:08] <bazhang> BaconBits: not a lucky place to say that
[05:08] <chrisn> bazhang: I even tried unistalling and installing the plugin straight from adobe
[05:08] <BaconBits> bazhang: yes it is.
[05:08] <bazhang> chrisn when did you install it
[05:08] <chrisn> mjw-:  no
[05:08] <bazhang> BaconBits: stop
[05:09] <BaconBits> why?
[05:09] <chrisn> bazhang: a few hours ago
[05:09] <bazhang> BaconBits: last warning
[05:09] <AtomicSpark> question: is there a purpose to the different color names of chat users? I am guessing big bold guy is a mod or something.
[05:09] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: Did you get my link?  Did it work?  Are ya dead?
[05:09] <BaconBits> BAN ME PENIS, GO GENTOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[05:09] <BaconBits> gentoo\
[05:09] <BaconBits> gentoo
[05:09] <BaconBits> gentoo

[05:09] <Dr_willis> well not really...
[05:10] <bazhang> wow too late sorry
[05:10] <harrumph> anybody know why parallels doesn't like the 7.10 cd?  installer just prompts to insert a cd, it's in there, filetree's written on it.  did i burn the right iso?
[05:10] <AtomicSpark> lol @ gentoo
[05:10] <mjw-> aw, i kind of liked the ban but no kick. kind of like watching someone stew in their own juices
[05:10] <AtomicSpark> hmm. is there a list of the commands?
[05:11] <chrisn> bazhang: any ideas on what I should do?
[05:11] <bazhang> harrumph: what speed did you burn it at what media did you use, does the cd boot ok not with parallels
[05:11] <Nuke_> whats the channel for hardy
[05:11] <FourX4Luvn> mjw-: Yes.. the size 12 boot in the rear was sorely needed.. quite a let down
[05:11] <elkbuntu> mjw-, this way he cant get the thrills of someone going 'lol @ gentoo'
[05:11] <bazhang> !hardy
[05:11] <ubotu> 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
[05:11] <Nuke_> thanks
[05:11] <AtomicSpark> wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC
[05:11] <bazhang> np
[05:11] <jscinoz> is copying a ttf font to fonts:// sufficent to install it? or must something else be done
[05:11] <AtomicSpark> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC
[05:11] <klownish> FourX4Luvn: its telling me incorrect fs type.
[05:12] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: Did you try smbfs or cifs?
[05:12] <AtomicSpark> hardy seems like a good update. i am excited. :D i am installing a vm of alpha 4 now
[05:12] <klownish> cifs.
[05:12] <ctex> why is there competition between linux distros? They are all free...
[05:12] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: Try smbfs
[05:12] <bazhang> jscinoz: I always just install via apt-get; did you mean outside the repos? what fonts let me give it a shot as soon as I finish sauerbraten ;]
[05:12] <chrisn> I think I am going to have to get rid of ubuntu
[05:12] <chrisn> these hard resets are getting annoying
[05:12] <harrumph> bazhang: 1) 24x 2) taiyo uden i think and 3) im gonna find out as soon as this xp box finishes backup
[05:12] <chrisn> :'(
[05:12] <bazhang> ctex not really ontopic here but just personal preference
[05:13] <killux> how do you set ubuntu's desktop panels and everything back to default?
[05:13] <DaZ> ctex: SLED of RHEL aren't free :F
[05:13] <fismoll8> hello everyone. I'm trying to enable sound when I rdesktop from ubuntu gutsy to my remote windows xp computer. any ideas?
[05:13] <bazhang> harrumph: taiyo uden are known to be troublesome from some accounts
[05:13] <rainwalker> chrisn: what's wrong?
[05:13] <supersako> i am contemplating installing ubuntu on my laptop.. #1 is 20gb /, rest for /home a good partition scheme for ubuntu.. #2 can ubuntu be upgrade to future versions without having to reinstall the whole thing (ex. feisty -> gutsy)
[05:13] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: smbfs is deprecated on Linux.. but the NAS may still use that type.
[05:13] <yu> hi
[05:13] <mjw-> !upgrade > supersako
[05:14] <mjw-> supersako the short answer is yes though
[05:14] <rainwalker> supersako: yes, upgrade all you want, but I find that fresh installs are better for me (clear out all my junk)
[05:14] <AtomicSpark> DaZ + Ctex, I'd use CentOS if you want RedHat. It's the same thing with the logos and such removed.
[05:14] <jscinoz> bazhang, just a few various ones im trying to test
[05:14] <chrisn> rainwalker: for some reason flash is causing xorg to crash
[05:14] <bazhang> supersako 20GB for / ? seems a bit excessive--if you have a seperate home partition then you can do a fresh install from cd otherwise just upgrade via the net
[05:14] <chrisn> rainwalker: I cant figure it out... it is really driving me up the wall
[05:14] <AtomicSpark> !search Hardy
[05:14] <ubotu> Found: ebox, hardy, heron, queue, ubuntu+1, installhardy, 8.04, final
[05:14] <AtomicSpark> !factoid hardy
[05:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about factoid hardy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:14] <fismoll8> !rdesktop
[05:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rdesktop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:14] <AtomicSpark> :|
[05:14] <FourX4Luvn> supersako: You asked those two questions in here a couple hours ago and you were answered.  If you won't listen to the answers you're given, I suggest you quit asking in the first place.
[05:14] <duyanh> auduyanh
[05:15] <rainwalker> chrisn: bleh I hate flash...
[05:15] <DaZ> AtomicSpark: indeed, but it doesn't change the fact thah not all distros are free :F
[05:15]  * Symmetria makes note to self, never attempt to rsync data off the net with it saving to an NFS mount, it is a sure way to get linux to twist its panties in a knot
[05:15] <klownish> FourX4Luvn: its giving me the same error
[05:15] <chrisn> rainwalker: yeah
[05:15] <ctex> DaZ, fine, MOST distros are free :P
[05:15] <supersako> Four i know i apologize, but i had to leave after i asked it and it is off my screen now :(
[05:15] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: Ok.. What is the make and model of the NAS?
[05:15] <bazhang> ctex really offtopic here
[05:15] <AtomicSpark> DaZ: CentOS is free. Ubuntu is free. I ran out of useful distros.
[05:15] <klownish> WD-NetCenter 160gig
[05:15] <DaZ> AtomicSpark: ArchLinux :x
[05:15] <ctex> bashang - sry, I get passionate :(
[05:16] <klownish> Firmware:  	 1.1.0.0003
[05:16] <Symmetria> klownish NAS as in iscsi?
[05:16] <bazhang> join #ubuntu-offtopic then ctex ;]
[05:16] <AtomicSpark> lol. okay i give up. how do i point my sentance at someone? like how do you make your name bold and show name:?
[05:16] <klownish> iscsi?
[05:16] <ctex> bazhang, thanks, didn't know about that
[05:16] <rainwalker> AtomicSpark: you type their nick and then what you want to say to them
[05:16] <FourX4Luvn> supersako: Ok.. Well, yes you can upgrade it as much as you want.. though it's not recommended to upgrade between major version changes (eg. 6.10 -> 7.10)  It works, but it's not always flawless.
[05:16] <chrisn> how do you uninstall the flash plugin from adobe?
[05:16] <bazhang> AtomicSpark: tab completion type first three or so letters then hit tab
[05:16] <Symmetria> heh, whats the communication mechanism between the NAS and the box you are using it on?
[05:17] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: Ok.. brb
[05:17] <AtomicSpark> bazhang: omg tab completion XD
[05:17] <bazhang> jscinoz: trying sauerbraten now, just a moment
[05:17] <nickrud> AtomicSpark: for you I type  Ato<tab>
[05:17] <jimmygoon> What is a udeb?
[05:17] <klownish> Symmetria: its connected to my router, via cat5 ;/
[05:17] <AtomicSpark> thanks. i was typing users by hand :|
[05:17] <klownish> if thats what ur asking.
[05:17] <Symmetria> ok, so its either an NFS system or an iSCSI system
[05:17] <nickrud> jimmygoon: a micro deb, used during installation
[05:17] <killux> how do you set ubuntu's appearance back to its default?
[05:17] <rainwalker> AtomicSpark: I did that for a couple of months before I found out about tab completion haha
[05:17]  * Symmetria checks
[05:17] <AtomicSpark> rainwalker: nice
[05:17] <jimmygoon> nickrud, interesting.......
[05:18] <rainwalker> killux: not sure, but let me know if you find out how
[05:18] <klownish> Symmetria: how can i check?
[05:18] <AtomicSpark> anyone install ubuntu on ps3 yet? is there a point?
[05:18] <fdafdsa> How can I upgrade to kernel 2.6.24?
[05:18] <harrumph> bazhang: yeah this cd is fine. this xp box picks it up.  anybody know why parallels doesn't like 7.10 cd?
[05:18] <rainwalker> harrumph: parallels really isn't that great
[05:19] <PKdoR> AtomicSpark: well yes and no
[05:19] <rainwalker> fdafdsa: I think there's some force-version thing you can do with synaptic
[05:19] <fdafdsa> rainwalker i'll look
[05:19] <nickrud> fdafdsa: you'd have to compile it
[05:19] <AtomicSpark> PKdoR: some of us are just bored :P still waiting for my Hardy install to finish.
[05:19] <nickrud> !kernel | fdafdsa
[05:19] <ubotu> fdafdsa: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages
[05:20] <jscinoz> !envy > jscinoz
[05:20] <PKdoR> AtomicSpark: it looks pretty and runs good it also give your PS3 prety much unlimited capabilities as a media player
[05:20] <rainwalker> PKdoR: are you talking about ubuntu on the ps3?
[05:20] <Symmetria> hrm, klownish that looks like CIFS, and errr at this point I must bow out, I've never worked with one of the cheaper NAS's under linux
[05:20] <chrisn> gah I cant even check gmail
[05:20] <PKdoR> rainwalker: yes
[05:21] <AtomicSpark> PKdoR: I can't even get DVD's to work on ubuntu (too lazy to install vnc) :P
[05:21] <elsha> hey guys, would the only reason 'wired connection' isnt showing up on the networking options be because it isnt recognising the network card?
[05:21] <rainwalker> PKdoR: what do you mean it looks pretty? does it look any different than ubuntu? and how does it make such a great media player?
[05:21] <klownish> Symmetria: it shows on the web admin it can use NFS and CIFS
[05:21] <FY1> If I gpg something on 1 computer and goto decrypt it on another, will it work?
[05:21] <bazhang> jscinoz: about 180 fps; sorry but that game rocks--got caught up in it for a minute ;]
[05:21] <AtomicSpark> elsha: is enable networking checked when you right click on it?
[05:21] <rainwalker> AtomicSpark: did you install libdvdcss?
[05:22] <klownish> but thats all it allows, just a check box..no other configuring for either.
[05:22] <bazhang> www.medibuntu.org for that AtomicSpark
[05:22] <Symmetria> klownish, if its NFS then on the linux box apt-get nfs-common && mount -t nfs nasip:/ /mnt
[05:22] <Symmetria> and see if it mounts on /mnt
[05:22] <mjw-> elsha yes, basically
[05:22] <fdafdsa> I have to get kernel 2.6.24 to install nvidia 169.09
[05:22] <rainwalker> arg bazhang you beat me to it :P
[05:22] <PKdoR> rainwalker: well not a GREAT meadi played but itsdefinitlly better then the stock PS3 as far as playing avi's and stuff
[05:22] <Jangari> I changed the mount point of my data partition and everything's fine, except the database for rhythmbox is looking to the old mountpoint for all my music. Is there a way to find the database itself and globally change /home/data to /media/data in every entry?
[05:22] <Symmetria> or mount -t nfs -o rw nasip:/ /mnt
[05:22] <elsha> i dont remember there being an enable networking checkbox. i'm not in the same room as the computer so it's a bit difficult for me to go check
[05:22] <rainwalker> PKdoR: how so?
[05:22] <elsha> the only option that's coming up is modem connection
[05:23] <supersako> FourXLuvn so for example 7.10 -> Edgy when its stable will be flawless right?
[05:23] <mjw-> elsha the default ubuntu behavior is to enable any ethernet hardware it sees
[05:23] <fismoll8> hello everyone. I'm trying to enable sound when I rdesktop from ubuntu gutsy to my remote windows xp computer. any ideas?
[05:23] <Rael> I have a problem with cutting and pasting. this happened in both fedora and ubuntu(which I'm in now.) alot of times highlighting text to copy it, it won't stay highlighted. or right click copy does not save it to the clipboard, only file copy will work
[05:23] <lalang> hi
[05:23] <klownish> Symmetria: i tried sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.3:/shares/Main/mp3s /media/mp3 and it keeps telling me permission denied.
[05:23] <lalang> am just open this site
[05:23] <Jangari> elsha, is there a network cable connected?
[05:23] <AtomicSpark> PKdoR: PS3 has great audio hardware. pawns my laptop.
[05:23] <rainwalker> Rael: can you highlight text and middle-click to paste?
[05:24] <elsha> jangari, yeah there is, network worked fine when windows was installed
[05:24] <bazhang> Rael: from where are you cutting and pasting? the terminal?
[05:24] <Rael> the terminal, irc, firefox etc. anywhere
[05:24] <Jangari> is this on a desktop or a laptop?
[05:24] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: Well, I found at least one person that had your problem after they upgraded to Gutsy.  So it may be an issue with Gutsy, though I can't find any other information about it.  The closest I found was this:  http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2007/01/13/using-western-digital-netcenter-with-ubuntu-linux/
[05:24] <elsha> desktop
[05:24] <Rael> I don't have a middle button
[05:24] <Rael> I have a scroll wheel I could press
[05:24] <Jangari> self-installed network card?
[05:24] <mjw-> Rael if your wheel is clickable, you have a middle button
[05:24] <themoebius> how do i change the number of virtual desktops?
[05:24] <rainwalker> Rael: scroll wheel = middle button
[05:24] <PKdoR> AtomicSpark: I got o wait to get My PS3 back from repair
[05:24] <Jangari> you might have to go and find a driver for it, but i wouldn't have a clue how to install it.
[05:24] <Symmetria> klownish try and mount / on it to some other directory
[05:25] <rainwalker> themoebius: in compiz or normal?
[05:25] <bazhang> Rael: that is what you want to do then works for many scroll wheels
[05:25] <Symmetria> they may have only exported the root of the drive
[05:25] <anniku989> Hi
[05:25] <elsha> not sure what you mean by that :) think it's a part of the motherboard
[05:25] <themoebius> rainwalker: compiz
[05:25] <Rael> ok
[05:25] <Rael> cool
[05:25] <Rael> but alot of times the text doees not stay highlighted
[05:25] <AtomicSpark> PKdoR: I find the PS3 to be amazingly interesting. It's sopposed to have amazing hardware but it takes 3 freaking hours to format its harddrive. lol.
[05:25] <chrisn> do you think upgrading my kernel will help?
[05:25] <Rael> it goes away as soon as I release the button
[05:25] <anniku989> someone let me know if their free, I'm having some troubles with grub
[05:25] <rainwalker> themoebius: do you have ccsm installed?
[05:25] <bazhang> ccsm general virtual horizontal desktops = 4 themoebius
[05:26] <harrumph> rainwalker: would it make a difference if i burned the "alternate desktop cd" iso instead?
[05:26] <Symmetria> but if its telling you permission denied then there has to be SOME nfs setup on that disk
[05:26] <lalang> hello!what is this site?
[05:26] <FourX4Luvn> anniku989: Just ask the question and if anyone is free and know how to help you, they'll answer :)
[05:26] <lalang> can anyone tell?
[05:26] <mjw-> !ubuntu > lalang
[05:26] <bazhang> ubuntu support channel lalang
[05:26] <klownish> Symmetria: if there is, i dont know how to find it.
[05:26] <anniku989> alright lol
[05:26] <themoebius> rainwalker: i have compiz fusion icon
[05:26] <klownish> FourX4Luvn: thx for the help, i tried that page earlier, with no help.
[05:26] <Symmetria> klownish www.googleisyourfriend.com
[05:26] <Symmetria> :p
[05:26] <Symmetria> :)
[05:26] <FourX4Luvn> klownish: Ok.. then I'm fresh out of ideas, sorry mate.
[05:26] <klownish> Symmetria: www.ivebeenongoogleallnight.com :-P
[05:26]  * elsha scratches her head thoughtfully
[05:27] <Rael> I'm just plaing around with it..sometimes it highlights and stays. sometimes not
[05:27] <rainwalker> harrumph: doubt it, it's just a different way of installing ubuntu (not graphical, all command line)
[05:27] <FourX4Luvn> LOL
[05:27] <lalang> and what is it pls?
[05:27] <zelrikriando> eh this site does exist !!
[05:27] <Symmetria> haha
[05:27] <mjw-> lalang you will learn more from www.ubuntu.com than we could tell you here
[05:27] <AtomicSpark> i wasnt following but here is compiz install info https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[05:27] <FourX4Luvn> Too bad it's not an actual site, klownish
[05:27] <bazhang> lalang www.ubuntu.com will explain  this is not a chat channel
[05:27] <Symmetria> klownish did you try mounting the /
[05:27] <zelrikriando> and it looks good ! :p
[05:27] <anniku989> I'm getting "Error 15" from grub when booting the pc, can't get to boot list of ubuntu/vista, so the only way around is using this live cd I'm currently on. This is on a single hdd with two partitions btw
[05:27] <Symmetria> like I said
[05:27] <AtomicSpark> need xserver-xgl package too
[05:27] <klownish> Symmetria:  yeah i did, same error.
[05:28] <jscinoz> bazhang, did sauerbraten finish installing yet?
[05:28] <Symmetria> klownish as a matter of interest, are you on the same network subnet as that NAS?
[05:28] <lalang> so do i need to go ubunto?
[05:28] <rainwalker> themoebius: well I haven't used the fusion icon thing, only ccsm
[05:28] <Dr_willis> lalang,  you are in #ubuntu now
[05:28] <bazhang> anniku stage one grub loads then you get that message?
[05:28] <klownish> Symmetria: im want to say yes, but ill doublecheck.
[05:28] <lalang> ahhhhhhhhh
[05:28] <bazhang> jscinoz: yup 180 fps or so
[05:28] <anniku989> computer posts, then I get error
[05:28] <lalang> then what will i do here to communicate friends
[05:28] <jscinoz> bazhang, can your monitor output at 1280x800?
[05:28] <anniku989> I dont' get to the point here I can choose what i wanna do
[05:28] <bazhang> lalang: you wont this is not a chat channel
[05:29] <jscinoz> bazhang, if so, try my exact command line ./sauer_client "$@" -w1280 -h800 -a4 -b24 -z24 -f3
[05:29] <rainwalker> lalang: you can install ubuntu if you want, and this is the support channel for it
[05:29] <jscinoz> bazhang and see what you get then
[05:29] <bazhang> anniku989:  you get the message grub loading even?
[05:29] <anniku989> oh, yes
[05:29] <charlie> Is there a command to automatically fix permissons? mine are all messed up
[05:29] <mjw-> bazhang doesn't that sound like a hard drive failure...?
[05:29] <klownish> Symmetria: yes i am.
[05:29] <FourX4Luvn> anniku989: What is the exact error you get?
[05:30] <anniku989> oen sec
[05:30] <bazhang> mjw-: not sure could be the mbr is missing or on another drive perhaps
[05:30] <Symmetria> klownish then my last suggestion is go check western digital's website, there has to be a config utility to setup security on that thing
[05:30] <jimmygoon> I can't login under ttys? I type 'j' and it registers a new line and just repeat GNU/Linux/Ubuntu Login: ______
[05:30] <lalang> how to connect friends?
[05:30] <anniku989> http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u100/Anniku989/S6300118.jpg
[05:30] <rainwalker> agg got distracted by a movie...who was I helping again?
[05:30] <FourX4Luvn> Symmetria: According to what I could find about that drive.. it's simply a password is all they offer
[05:30] <anniku989> theres a pic of the error message
[05:30] <rainwalker> lalang: connect friends? with what?
[05:30] <Symmetria> FourX4Luvn hrm, ohhhh
[05:30] <Symmetria> in that case
[05:30] <Symmetria> hold on
[05:30] <MrObvious> FourX4Luvn: bazhang: I've been trying to help him; he's basically installed updates and the computer died (I think he said power outage) 90% through it and now he can't boot either OS.
[05:30] <charlie> Is there a command to automatically fix permissons? mine are all messed up
[05:31] <bazhang> lalang not here this is not a chat channel please go elsewhere for that
[05:31] <anniku989> wth
[05:31] <anniku989> It was error 15 before lol
[05:31] <MrObvious> FourX4Luvn: bazhang: So now he's in the live cd and is stuck.
[05:31] <anniku989> just noticed that in that pic
[05:31] <rainwalker> charlie please don't ask multiple times, if someone knows the answer they will tell you
[05:31] <MrObvious> anniku989: Did it work? lol
[05:31] <FourX4Luvn> MrObvious: Oh.. Didn't see anyone helping.. sorry
[05:31] <ryanw> anyone know why my laptop reboots everytime i shutdown while the cord is still plugged in? It will only completely shutdown if it is unplugged.
[05:31] <MrObvious> FourX4Luvn: No you're fine. I'm stuck lol. Besides I was in another channel.
[05:31] <bazhang> MrObvious: sorry to overstep ;]
[05:31] <Symmetria> errr wait, nfs doesnt support a password option *hrm*, klownish can you either a.) browse to the drive with a webbrowser or b.) telnet to it?
[05:32] <MrObvious> bazhang: No, please do. I'm stuck.
[05:32] <FY1> !trackerd
[05:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about trackerd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:32] <anniku989> Its error 15 though
[05:32] <charlie> !repeat > sp219
[05:32] <Symmetria> that password is probably for setup in some kind of admin interface, because nfs by standard does not support passwords
[05:32] <rainwalker> MrObvious: what are you stuck with?
[05:32] <charlie> !repeat > charlie
[05:32] <MrObvious> rainwalker: Helping anniku989 with a Grub 15 error.
[05:32] <AtomicSpark> !repeat
[05:32] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[05:32] <klownish> Symmetria:  ill try
[05:32] <Symmetria> !repeat Symmetria
[05:32] <bazhang> rainwalker: haha anniku I believe not him
[05:32] <charlie> !repeat | Symmetria
[05:32] <ubotu> Symmetria: please see above
[05:32] <FourX4Luvn> anniku989: Ok.. I assume this is a dual boot system, with Windows as the other OS?
[05:32] <xeom> Anybody here have any lucky getting the latest version of warsow to run
[05:33] <AtomicSpark> !patience
[05:33] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[05:33] <anniku989> Yes it is
[05:33] <MrObvious> ! repeat charlie :p
[05:33] <Symmetria> heh there ya go Charlie :)
[05:33] <FY1> anyone have any idea why trackerd is taking up one of my processors?
[05:33] <anniku989> I don't have the vista disk BTW
[05:33] <FourX4Luvn> anniku989: XP?
[05:33] <Symmetria> that actually redirected to me
[05:33] <anniku989> vista
[05:33] <anniku989> lol
[05:33] <AtomicSpark> vista
[05:33] <rainwalker> why is everyone using that repeat factoid repeatedly?
[05:33] <FourX4Luvn> anniku989: Ok.. I'm not too familiar with vista.. is there a way to boot vista to a recovery console?
[05:33] <Symmetria> AtomicSpark now you know how to get it to redirect to someone :)
[05:33] <bazhang> botabuse
[05:33] <FY1> !repeat > rainwalker
[05:33] <anniku989> I can't get that far...
[05:33] <AtomicSpark> the only reason i need it is for CS3
[05:33] <Symmetria> pipe it :)
[05:33] <AtomicSpark> mm dreamweaver
[05:33] <FY1> !repeat -> FY1
[05:33] <bazhang> Symmetria: with the pipe |
[05:34] <roachmmflhyr> when i host (my old hostname) i get roachmmflhyr@okinawa:~$ host ubuntu-box
[05:34] <roachmmflhyr> Host ubuntu-box not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
[05:34] <roachmmflhyr>   but when i host $HOSTNAME i always get SERVFAIL
[05:34] <MrObvious> Ok guys seriously, stop playing with the bot before we call the chanops.
[05:34] <rainwalker> FY1: I don't know, but I would recommend beagle over tracker
[05:34] <anniku989> I post, and grub starts to load (so I can choose ubuntu or vista) and errors out before i can do anything
[05:34] <FourX4Luvn> anniku989: You'll need the ... wait... You just said you don't have the CD
[05:34] <AtomicSpark> bazhang: you mean it works like a terminal? no way! lol
[05:34] <MrObvious> !enter | roachmmflhyr
[05:34] <klownish> Symmetria: telnet refused connection, and no on the web browser.
[05:34] <ubotu> roachmmflhyr: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:34] <AtomicSpark> !enter
[05:34] <Symmetria> klownish hold
[05:34] <jbinder> Hi.
[05:34] <FourX4Luvn> anniku989: I can fix it for you if you can get ahold of an XP or VIsta CD to boot from.
[05:34] <FY1> also, does anyone know how to send a network message from an ubuntu computer to a vista computer?
[05:34] <anniku989> I don't have the vista dvd that i can boot off of to recover
[05:34] <xeom> Anybody here have any lucky getting the latest version of warsow to run
[05:34] <AtomicSpark> FY1: what do you mean by a message?
[05:34] <rainwalker> FY1: via IRC?
[05:34] <FourX4Luvn> anniku989: Doesn't have to be the same CD that the computer came with.. just any CD
[05:35] <anniku989> don't have
[05:35] <Symmetria> ok, in that case the password has to be for SMB/CIFS
[05:35] <bazhang> anniku989: where did you install the grub and was it vista first then ubuntu or the reverse
[05:35] <FourX4Luvn> darn.. Ok...
[05:35]  * FourX4Luvn scratches his head for a moment
[05:35] <Dezine> Is it possible to hibernate my PC in Ubuntu?
[05:35] <Symmetria> and I've never used CIFS so I cant help you past that, but I'd place money on the fact that you need to get CIFS installed on the linux box, and mount it with whatever that password is
[05:35] <anniku989> vista first. I got a live cd, and booted up, hit install, and it worked fine (i'm assuming it installed grub with it)
[05:35] <rainwalker> Dezine: System > Quit, and choose hibernate
[05:35] <bazhang> dezine in theory yes
[05:35] <jbinder> Does any of you know how to set the CPU do a certain clock speed? I know you can do it with the GNOME CPU frequency scaling monitor applet, but for some reason, that applet doesn't work for me. How can I make it use all 2.2GHz of my dual core CPU instead of only 800MHz per core?
[05:35] <klownish> Symmetria: there is no password :X
[05:35] <Dezine> When I choose quit it just logs out
[05:36] <AtomicSpark> Dezine: yes. depends on hardware unfortunately.
[05:36] <Dezine> doesn't ask what to do for some reason
[05:36] <klownish> Symmetria:  the only password i have is for the web utility, none for the actual folder.
[05:36] <echoz> any "easy" recommendations for this noob for wireless in ubuntu (gutsy gibbon)?
[05:36] <anniku989> I've heard that just deleting/reinstalling grub may fix it, but i dunno how to do that
[05:36] <MrObvious> jbinder: If you have an Intel chip turn off Speedstep, C1E, etc., or AMD turn off Cool'n'Quiet in the BIOS.
[05:36] <Symmetria> klownish probably same password
[05:36] <anniku989> off of the live cd
[05:36] <Dezine> Hm, AtomicSpark do you mean video card?
[05:36] <bazhang> echoz: what card
[05:36] <rainwalker> echoz: you mean like a good wireless card?
[05:36] <jbinder> MrObvious: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz
[05:36] <FourX4Luvn> anniku989: You can boot the live CD?
[05:36] <Symmetria> klownish try installing smbclient and using that password with it
[05:36] <MrObvious> jbinder: Like I said, BIOS.
[05:36] <anniku989> yup
[05:36] <klownish> Symmetria: on a windows machine, ive never had to put in the password to connect.
[05:36] <echoz> yes a good wireless router and card
[05:37] <anniku989> tahts what I'm posting this off of right now
[05:37] <FourX4Luvn> anniku989: Do that.. I'll walk you through reinstalling grub
[05:37] <jbinder> MrObvious: I don't know what any of those things mean.
[05:37] <FourX4Luvn> Oh.. ok  heh
[05:37] <anniku989> I'm on it
[05:37] <Symmetria> klownish errr if it works on a windows machine without a password, then use a windows mechanism to connect to it
[05:37] <rainwalker> echoz: netgear wg511t
[05:37] <bazhang> anniku989: which installed first vista or ubuntu
[05:37] <Symmetria> install smbclient and try and use that to connect
[05:37] <Symmetria> if it works, you can get smbmount
[05:37] <echoz> xlnt thanks so much
[05:37] <anniku989> is there a way to filter out everyone elses chat?
[05:37] <rainwalker> anniku989: you can private message someone
[05:37] <bazhang> anniku989: put them on /ignore
[05:37] <AtomicSpark> echoz: most wireless cards should work. ubuntu has pretty good support.
[05:37] <Symmetria> heh, if you'd told me ages ago it worked fine under windows I woulda said ages ago to use smb :)
[05:38] <anniku989> vista was already on this on this laptop
[05:38] <AtomicSpark> echoz: i have a broadcom. its not supported by most linux distros and ubuntu worked fine. :P
[05:38] <rainwalker> bazhang: not all clients do /ignore by default, like you have to enable a certain plugin in pidgin to do it
[05:38] <klownish> Symmetria: ive heard smbmount is horrible to use..people have used NFS but for some reason it wont work for me.
[05:38] <FourX4Luvn> anniku989: Join #anniku_help
[05:38] <anniku989> ok
[05:38] <echoz> i've been trying to get linksys wmp54gs to work with NDISwrapper but not much luck
[05:38] <AtomicSpark> klownish: what are you trying to do again?
[05:38] <FourX4Luvn> And anyone else helping with anniku's problem, join #anniku_help please :)
[05:38] <anniku989> #anniku_help
[05:38] <echoz> it's probably user error though ;P lol
[05:38] <bazhang> rainwalker: really? thanks!
[05:38] <Symmetria> klownish without the drive infront of me I cant help you getting nfs to work on it, getting nfs to work *NICELY* (better than smbmount) can be tricky at the best of times anyway
[05:38] <Dezine> Ok, when I try to hibernate it says: Some modules failed to unload: nvidia. hibernate: Aborting suspend due to errors in ModulesUnloadBlacklist (use --force to override).
[05:38] <rainwalker> echoz: my netgear wg511t wireless card worked out of the box since edgy
[05:38] <klownish> AtomicSpark: trying to get a network drive mounted using nfs
[05:38] <AtomicSpark> echoz: are you trying to capture packets?
[05:39] <Symmetria> (trust me, I have some massive nfs mounts)
[05:39] <echoz> don't ask me about packets please :)
[05:39] <MrObvious> jbinder: :\...When you reboot you'll see an option like press F2 or F10 or Delete to enter setup, push that repeatedly to enter the BIOS. Next find the power management options and disable Speedstep and C1E and you'll be golden.
[05:39] <elsha> hmmm, ok, lspci doesn't come up with any kind of network connection :s would this have been from a faulty install of ubuntu?
[05:39] <jscinoz> bazhang, wer eyou able to try it with command line ./sauer_client "$@" -w1280 -h800 -a4 -b24 -z24 -f3
[05:39] <Symmetria> klownish piece of advice: get *something* working, then attempt to get the other one working once you at least have access to your drive
[05:39] <AtomicSpark> klownish: mount a windows network share? use places > connect to server. change to windows share. enter ip for server and share name for share. dont forget username or it most likely wont work.
[05:39] <Dezine> Alright, I'll just shut it off, loads quickly enough anyway.
[05:39] <echoz> i'll just get that netgear wg511t and dump windoze ASAP ...thanks. you guys are awesome!
[05:40] <Agent_bob> i have an error message "power manager \n this program can not start until you start the dbus system service \n it is strongly recommended you restart your computer after starting messagebus "   when i click the logout/shutdown button  and the system is just hung for about a minute then i get the logout options box and can kill x normally.     anyone know how to stop gnome's logout button from calling "/usr/bin/gnome-power-man
[05:40] <xeom> Anybody here have any lucky getting the latest version of warsow to run
[05:40] <Symmetria> AtomicSpark its not a windows share, its a horrible western digital NAS
[05:40] <Symmetria> that uses SMB/CIFS as primary protocol
[05:40] <AtomicSpark> oh haha. i missed that.
[05:40] <Agent_bob> and why would anyone "strongly recommended" restarting a linux system ?
[05:40] <Symmetria> but yes, in theory your method would work as well
[05:41] <AtomicSpark> Symmetria: If its the same NAS i read about before it has some severe problems. :\ I wish him luck. I think someone had to hack it to get it working properly.
[05:42] <Symmetria> btw... if there are any south africans in here, Im about to make some fairly big changes to the way za.archive.ubuntu.com and za.releases.ubuntu.com are setup, and I'd appreciate if someone told me if it broke (though it really shouldnt)
[05:42] <adriana> +sup
[05:42] <Agent_bob> cause makes no sense to me at all,   if i start dbus (which i see no reason for) and then reboot the computer dbus will not be running on reboot...     did i miss something ?
[05:42]  * Symmetria is bringing anycast online in the last hour or 2
[05:42] <adriana> sup room
[05:42]  * AtomicSpark commands woot
[05:42]  * AtomicSpark loves me commands
[05:43] <Symmetria> heh
[05:43]  * klownish hates WD products
[05:43] <klownish> :)
[05:43] <adriana> weres all the men at
[05:43] <mjw-> note to self: never purchase WD NAS
[05:43] <AtomicSpark> question, is there a way to turn off join/leave messages?

[05:43] <Symmetria> AtomicSpark depends on what client you are using
[05:43] <AtomicSpark> pidgen
[05:43] <ogre> dang
[05:43] <ogre> kk
[05:43] <Symmetria> AtomicSpark no idea, if it was scrollz you could /ignore * CRAP
[05:44] <Symmetria> and it would take care of it
[05:44] <Symmetria> (I kid you not, thats a legit ignore mode in scrollz)
[05:44] <zqwe> AtomicSpark: see plugins
[05:44] <Symmetria> and I think it also exists in bitchx
[05:44] <rainwalker> AtomicSpark: yes, but you have enable a certain plugin...hang on let me find it
[05:44] <elsha> no one have any suggestions for my network card issue?
[05:44] <adriana> sorry
[05:45] <zqwe> adriana: no
[05:45] <zqwe> :|
[05:45] <music`freak> can anyone help me with Amarok here?
[05:45] <AtomicSpark> rainwalker: join/par hiding? :P
[05:45] <music`freak> noone in that channel is responding
[05:45] <mjw-> elsha an lspci | grep -i eth  could be of some use
[05:45] <music`freak> :/
[05:45] <adriana> no  3what
[05:45] <Rael> whats wrong with amarok
[05:45] <rainwalker> AtomicSpark: yeah that! haha
[05:45] <music`freak> nothing is wrong...
[05:45] <music`freak> i'm new to Linux /Amarok
[05:45] <zqwe> adriana: we are not forgiving you
[05:45] <music`freak> need some help with using my ipod with Amarok
[05:46] <Symmetria> btw, with regards nas's and nfs and other things, does anyone know why when I rsync to an NFS mount on ubuntu-server (and the mounted nfs machine is also ubuntu-server btw), occasionally things get really messy, the box load average goes through the roof and eventually the box falls over and dies?
[05:46] <Symmetria> as in, I seem to hit some kinda locking issue and the thing goes slightly made
[05:46] <Symmetria> made/mad
[05:46] <music`freak> heya mjw- :)
[05:46] <Rael> when I plugged in my mp3 player a window came up in amarok asking to use the device
[05:46] <Symmetria> the other day I tried it on our mirror server and my load average shot to 983 before the box keeled over
[05:46] <AtomicSpark> Symmetria: id make a joke that its linux but i might get banned :-X
[05:46] <mjw-> music`freak hi
[05:46] <Rael> but I ended up just selecting the files I wanted and dragged them to the window for my device
[05:46] <music`freak> how do i see all the Videos present on my ipod in Amarok?
[05:47] <music`freak> like i can in iTunes?
[05:47] <shamrock> hi
[05:47] <shamrock> i got a quick question
[05:47] <klownish> AtomicSpark: its still better than windows :P
[05:47] <shamrock> any1 using vmware to connect to ubuntu right now?
[05:47] <mjw-> music`freak i have absolutely no idea. :)
[05:47] <FireBug> Thanks for the help the other night guys but I think my FTP server on my ubuntu server just shat itself. It was working fine till a minute ago until I rebooted the server. Now when I try and start proftpd service, its says
[05:47] <music`freak> :/
[05:47] <music`freak> anybody else?
[05:47] <Rael> not really sure. I just ened up viewing them with the file manager
[05:47] <shamrock> any1 using vmware to connect to ubuntu right now?
[05:47] <Symmetria> firebug any reason you chose proftpd?
[05:47] <rainwalker> music`freak: you could just browse the files in nautilus I think, I don't know I've never hooked up an ipod in ubuntu
[05:48] <Agent_bob> music`freak #kubuntu not responding ?
[05:48] <AtomicSpark> Symmetria: do you use "$rsync -avz -e ssh remoteuser@remotehost:/remote/dir /this/dir/"?
[05:48] <FireBug> *Starting ftp server proftpd - IPv4 getaddrinfo 'unBuntu-Veriton' error: No adress associated with hostname
[05:48] <music`freak> i didn't try kubuntu
[05:48] <shamrock> any1 using vmware to connect to ubuntu right now?
[05:48] <roachmmflhyr> i cannot host $HOSTNAME returns SERVFAIL
[05:48]  * Symmetria highly suggests looking at pure-ftpd or vsftpd
[05:48] <music`freak> i tried in #amarok
[05:48] <music`freak> nobody responded
[05:48] <shamrock> who do i ask questions to?
[05:48] <cute_bettong> does anyone know of an app for ubuntu that can do a batch job of changeing mp3's from well mp3 to .ogg?
[05:48] <shamrock> for help
[05:48] <AtomicSpark> !repeat | shamrock
[05:48] <ubotu> shamrock: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[05:48] <AtomicSpark> heh bots
[05:48] <shamrock> !patience
[05:48] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[05:48] <elsha> mjw-, yeah it isn't coming up with anything for eth. would the most likely problem be a fault when i installed ubuntu, or the network card not being supported? I know that the card works.
[05:48] <music`freak> and i'm un Ubuntunot kubuntu
[05:48] <Symmetria> AtomicSpark no, this is anonymous rsync, so rsync -av --progress --delete --delete-after --ignore-errors --hard-links rsync://host/rsync /nfs-mounted-local-directory
[05:49] <music`freak> *using
[05:49] <mjw-> elsha that means the system itself isn't even seeing an ethernet controller at ALL. as far as linux is concerned, it doesn't even exist
[05:49] <AtomicSpark> Symmetria: I tried rsync over ssh for backups. have no idea why it didnt work. i gave up too fast though. :P
[05:49] <mjw-> elsha it's not disabled in the bios or something is it?
[05:49] <rainwalker> music`freak: the only reason kubuntu might be a better place to ask is because amarok is a KDE app
[05:49] <music`freak> also i would need a converter for converting my videos in Divx to Ipod video format in Linux
[05:49] <klownish> elsha, what kind of card is it?
[05:49] <Symmetria> AtomicSpark works fine if Im rsyncing to a directory that ISNT nfs mounted (I actually worked around the problem by moving the rsync scripts onto the NAS's themselves)
[05:49] <shamrock> anyone using vmware to connect to ubuntu right now, i'm having a problem with the network, in ubuntu the internet is going alot slower
[05:49] <music`freak> any apps for doing that in Linux?
[05:49] <AtomicSpark> Symmetria: ah more nfs problems
[05:50] <klownish> elsha: i had issues with a netgear card when i first switched to ubuntu
[05:50] <Symmetria> heh, we use NFS now only for actually reading data
[05:50] <elsha> klownish: im not too sure, its a pretty old machine
[05:50] <shamrock> WHO
[05:50] <shamrock> WOW
[05:50] <shamrock> DOES ANYONE FUCKING ANSWER QUESTIONS HERE

[05:50] <rainwalker> shamrock: if anyone knows the answer, they will say so. settle down.

[05:50] <ubotu> Flannel: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[05:50] <rex3ci> hey guys
[05:50] <Symmetria> ^^ heh those work so long as I keep it read only
[05:50] <Flannel> sheesh.  I'm just going to give up with the typing.
[05:51] <rex3ci> how do i make mv assume no to overwrite queries?
[05:51] <music`freak> :/
[05:51] <AtomicSpark> fail
[05:51] <rex3ci> --reply=no is no longer supported
[05:51] <rainwalker> !paste | Symmetria
[05:51] <Photocopy> I think I just realized that I can ditch windows entirely if this works. =O
[05:51] <ubotu> Symmetria: 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)
[05:51] <mjw-> klownish: elsha's lspci | grep -i eth  yielded nothing :/
[05:51] <mrtsunami> Flannel, nice try, I suppose :)
[05:51] <AtomicSpark> shamrock: what is your question? if we use ubuntu on vmware client/server?
[05:51] <shamrock> yea
[05:51] <shamrock> im using vmware
[05:51] <shamrock> to connect to ubuntu
[05:51] <mjw-> elsha and it's apparently a motherboard-based controller
[05:51] <shamrock> and the internet is alot slower in ubuntu
[05:52] <mjw-> er, that last one was for klownish
[05:52] <shamrock> than it is windows
[05:52] <shamrock> i got ethernet set to bridged on vmware
[05:52] <fr500> thats nonsense
[05:52] <AtomicSpark> shamrock: yes, most virtual machines are slower then the real thing.
[05:52] <Symmetria> rainwalker can someone please tell me what they consider a flood in this channel, that was 3 lines, normal typing can produce 3 lines faster than that, Im honestly just trying to get an understanding of what is considered flooding and what I can actually say in here
[05:52] <shamrock> so slower then the internet, that doesn't make any sense
[05:53] <rainwalker> Symmetria: I guess that wasn't really flooding, sorry, but it's nice to use as few lines as possible
[05:53] <Flannel> Symmetria: Three lines is flooding, whether pasted or typing, in a channel this large.  Thats why we coerce people into not using the enter key as punctuation.
[05:53] <AtomicSpark> shamrock: its 10MB connection. then you have overhead of all the VMware networking stuff. then you have the reduced cpu & memory. etc etc.
[05:53] <KevinMai> I haven't CD-RW, can I install Ubuntu via USB Flash Disk ?
[05:53] <mjw-> !usb > KevinMai
[05:53] <Jangari> how can i test if my webcam is support/working?
[05:53] <AtomicSpark> shamrock: also the videocard is a lot slower so the page may seem to load slower
[05:53] <rainwalker> shamrock: it's not the internet that's slow, it's the OS you're using to get on the internet that's being slow
[05:53] <Thedjatclubrock> HELP I locked myself out of sudo
[05:53] <KevinMai> thanks!
[05:54] <Jangari> s/support/supported/
[05:54] <rainwalker> Jangari: install camorama
[05:54] <shamrock> AtomicSpark: would it be better then to just dual boot?
[05:54] <mjw-> Jangari install cheese or camorama
[05:54] <Jangari> alrighty, thanks guys
[05:54] <rainwalker> Thedjatclubrock: how so?
[05:54] <AtomicSpark> shamrock: do you have xp or vista?
[05:54] <shamrock> vista
[05:54] <Flannel> Symmetria: also, pasting is better because it's likely that your message in the channel will have gone away (scrolled) soon thereafter (it has halfway through this message on my screen), and people may need to refer to it again later, etc.
[05:54] <Thedjatclubrock> rainwalker: I accidentaly changed the group to www-data :P
[05:54] <rainwalker> shamrock: I would say it's almost always better to dual boot
[05:54] <Symmetria> flannel, after 15 years on irc, I know these things :) I still dont consider 3 lines a flood however, but we can agree to disagree
[05:55] <shamrock> but harder I have no clue how to dual boot
[05:55] <AtomicSpark> shamrock: if you aren't experienced with computers I wouldnt duel boot. there are a lot of steps to get it working with vista.
[05:55] <shamrock> I like vmware it's a neat problem
[05:55] <rainwalker> Thedjatclubrock: hm...I don't know what to tell you
[05:55] <shamrock> program*
[05:55] <icesword> nickrud, u still awake
[05:55] <klownish> it is a neat problem ;X
[05:55] <AtomicSpark> shamrock: vista  only likes being the only active (bootable) partition. if its not, it wont even install. m$ hates other os's
[05:55] <Thedjatclubrock> HELP I locked myself out of sudo
[05:55] <klownish> ms hates ms <-
[05:55] <mjw-> elsha the other thing to suggest is to do just do a plain lspci and look for an ethernet controller...if you don't see anything...linux can't even see the hardware
[05:56] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: Howd you do that?
[05:56] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel: I accidentaly changed the group to www-data :P
[05:56] <jack-desktop> does anyone know how to get awn on 1 view port only?
[05:56] <AtomicSpark> shamrock: i had to boot linux live cd, partition, boot windows cd, install vista, boot live cd again install ubuntu. lols.
[05:56] <icesword> Thedjatclubrock, u need root privelge
[05:56] <rainwalker> klownish: you're not alone haha
[05:56] <rainwalker> wait disregard that
[05:56] <Thedjatclubrock> icesword: How can I without sudo :P
[05:56] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: alright, you can fix it by rebooting into the recovery console
[05:56] <shamrock> AtomicSpark: lol that is funny
[05:56] <rainwalker> jack-desktop: I don't think you can; it shows on your desktop and if you have more than one desktop...it's going to be there
[05:57] <AtomicSpark> Symmetria: okay you weren't spamming. jeez. you win.
[05:57]  * AtomicSpark bows
[05:57] <jack-desktop> Thedjatclubrock, youj have to edit sudo gedit /etc/group in recovery mode
[05:57] <klownish> AtomicSpark: i considered it spamming..who are u to judge :P
[05:57] <klownish> jk :)
[05:57] <supersako> i was told that its not safe to upgrade from 6.10 to 7.10 but is it okay to go from 7.10 to the next edgy release or would this qualify as two major releases??
[05:58] <Flannel> supersako: You need to go from 6.10 to 7.04, then you can go from 7.04 to 7.10
[05:58] <supersako> ahh i see thanks Flannel
[05:58] <rainwalker> supersako: you have to upgrade to each release in between
[05:58] <supersako> so its pretty safe then upgrading from within ubuntu?
[05:58] <AtomicSpark> supersako: I always do a clean install. Up to you. :D
[05:58] <supersako> as long as its the next release
[05:58] <Thedjatclubrock> jack-desktop: No desktop (nano) :P
[05:58] <gclavell> alguien habla espanol??

[05:58] <AtomicSpark> gclavell: Hola
[05:58] <rainwalker> supersako: yeah, you don't really ahve to worry because it will only let you update one releae at a time
[05:58] <jack-desktop> Thedjatclubrock, yea, I just copied it from my terminal, I forgot to remove gedit and sudo from that line ;p
[05:58] <Photocopy> whee
[05:59] <supersako> the performance or anything wont be diff if i do upgrade from within or reinstall right? theoretically i guess if i dont hve a bunch of crap
[05:59] <iyO> !fr
[05:59] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[05:59] <Photocopy> I wonder what ill do with an extra 20 gigs.
[05:59] <rainwalker> supersako: it really depends, but everything is usually fine
[05:59] <icesword> Photocopy,  can u ping other computer which is in your ip range,and get request

[05:59] <Flannel> supersako: no, there wont be.  It'll be more or less identical
[05:59] <supersako> sweeeeet
[05:59] <supersako> thanks guys
[06:00] <Photocopy> icesword; I'd assume so, but I can't say I know how...
[06:00] <supersako> gonna put ubuntu on my lappy now :)
[06:00] <AtomicSpark> supersako: linux doesnt "slow down" over time. thats a windows problem.
[06:00] <rainwalker> no problem supersako
[06:00] <supersako> ya Atomic thats true... no fragmentation bs
[06:00] <Mrdiaz> hp laptops blow for some odd reason
[06:00] <Photocopy> AtomicSpark: It does do some weird stuff at randomthough
[06:00] <fr500> AtomicSpark: actually, over a few upgrades you start noticing an slowdown
[06:00] <rainwalker> Mrdiaz: because hp isn't that good...
[06:00] <AtomicSpark> Mrdiaz: I've enjoyed my Compaq 6820s
[06:00] <viktor> does anyone know of a good dock like the new one in leopard with stacks etc
[06:00] <rainwalker> viktor: avant window navigator
[06:00] <DaZ> viktor: avant
[06:01] <Mrdiaz> bah, is the same thing really
[06:01] <Mrdiaz> same brand
[06:01] <rainwalker> hp bought compa
[06:01] <rainwalker> compaq*
[06:01] <viktor> avant window navigator is that the program name
[06:01] <AtomicSpark> compaq = business line
[06:01] <AtomicSpark> i would NOT deal with their personal shiny plastic BS
[06:01] <rainwalker> viktor: yes, hang on I'll find you the instructions to install it
[06:02] <ganeshhegd1> how to view a jpg image using command line?
[06:02] <DaZ> ganeshhegd1: use cat :F
[06:02] <rainwalker> ganeshhegd1: go to the location of the file than use the name of the program you want to use and the file name
[06:02] <AtomicSpark> ganeshhegd1: you can't view a picture in command line. you can only open it into a program.
[06:02] <Photocopy> AtomicSpark: Like today I logged in to find it at 1280x1024, my default being 1024x768, after having shut it down last wihtout having made any changes, just listened to some music, and when i tried to set it back it didnt let me. I had to log out and back in. Also on a previous installation of Xubuntu (it was 7.04) The xfce4-panel didnt run on boot, once again, no significant changes were made, happened randomly one day.
[06:02] <fr500> is that a fact
[06:03] <fr500> ?
[06:03] <Mrdiaz> manually change it
[06:03] <fr500> i'm pretty sure there should exist  a picture viewer that works without X
[06:03] <rainwalker> viktor: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981
[06:03] <Flannel> fr500: there are a few.  Some use framebuffers, some use ASCII
[06:04] <fr500> thx Flannel
[06:04] <Dr_willis> there are framebuffer based image viewers.  :) and
[06:04] <KevinMai> I haven't CD-RW, can I install Ubuntu via USB Flash Disk ? But now I have only Windows XP

[06:04] <ubuntu_> I'm online from the LiveCD right now. Can someone tell me the command to fsck my ext3 partition (/dev/sda3)? I typed sudo fsck /dev/sda3 but it showed some problems and asked me for an additional command
[06:04] <Flannel> fr500: if you install caca-utils, it'll install cacaview, which will view images (in color).  I dont remember any of the framebuffer ones by name
[06:05] <Symmetria> htm, does anyone know how to hide a -t bind mount from a df -h? if I do the mounts manually, they dont show up in df -h, if I dont, and I do it through fstab, I get this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56308/
[06:05] <Symmetria> and its real annoying
[06:05] <Thedjatclubrock> jack-desktop: sudo: must be setuid root
[06:05] <AtomicSpark> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56309/
[06:05] <AtomicSpark> ooo nice
[06:05] <AtomicSpark> i like
[06:05] <rex3ci> is there a good alternative to mv that has more options?
[06:05] <rex3ci> or
[06:05] <rex3ci> where can i get a good manual for mv.. man mv isnt big enough
[06:05] <Dr_willis> Symmetria,  make an alias that greps/filters out the unwanted  lines? ive never used the bind feature of mount.
[06:05] <icesword> why cannot i get respond from computer which is in the same ip range
[06:06] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel: sudo: must be setuid root
[06:06] <AtomicSpark> icesword: are you trying to ping the private ip address?
[06:06] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: What exactly did you do to break it?

[06:06] <Dr_willis> Symmetria,  i tend to use   alias showdisks='df -h -x tmpfs -x devpts -x usbfs
[06:06] <Dr_willis> '    Not sure if theres a -x bind or not :)
[06:06] <icesword> AtomicSpark, i use dhcp
[06:06] <viktor> does awn have stacks
[06:06] <fr500> icesword: first of all verify the interface is up, can you ping your on ip address?
[06:06] <AtomicSpark> icesword: ... is it online? :\
[06:06] <Raspberry> anybody know a work around for the MESA library 3d bug?  It effects intel cards and others (ati, nvidia)
[06:07] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel chgrp www-data / :P
[06:07] <Photocopy> viktor: If it doesnt im sure theres one of those addon things for it
[06:07] <Symmetria> hrm, Dr_willis thanks, I didnt know that -x existed :) shoulda rtfm'ed
[06:07] <icesword> AtomicSpark, sure,i can ping myself,and it is online
[06:07] <ubuntu_> I'm online from the LiveCD right now. Can someone tell me the command to fsck my ext3 partition (/dev/sda3)? I typed sudo fsck /dev/sda3 but it showed some problems and asked me for an additional command
[06:07] <fr500> icesword: even better, are you getting leases from the dcp server?
[06:07] <Dr_willis> Symmetria,  :) yep..i had a real complex script made up.. themn i read the docs and found that.
[06:07] <icesword> fr500, pardon?get lease?
[06:07] <jw144000> Does anyone in here use Wubi
[06:08] <Thedjatclubrock> jbinder: Any ideas?
[06:08] <AtomicSpark> icesword: no is the other computer turned on and booted up? are you sure thats the IP addy? I can't see a computer blocking ICMP (ping). Normally only routers do this.
[06:08] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: oh.  You didn't break sudo (well, you did, but only indirectly), what did you do to try and fix it in the recovery console?
[06:08] <lumien> anybody here running skype successfully on 7.10?
[06:08] <fr500> icesword: on a terminal type dhclient, it should give you an ip address, that is a lease
[06:08] <charlie> Does anyone know of a good SFTP/SCP Client? (linux)
[06:08] <fr500> icesword: otherwise, maybe a firewall on the other box?
[06:08] <icesword> AtomicSpark, yeah,it is online,we have the same gateway
[06:09] <fr500> charlie: gftp is good enough
[06:09] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel: chgrp -R root /etc/
[06:09] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: er..........
[06:09] <icesword> fr500, yes,it has a firewall
[06:09] <fr500> icesword: can you ping your default gateway?
[06:09] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: You broke it without -R, and you used -R to try and fix it?
[06:09] <icesword> fr500, sure ican
[06:09] <rainwalker> yes viktor awn has stacks
[06:09] <klownish> haha
[06:09] <weeman13221> anybody know how to get an xfx 512mb 8800GTS workin in ubuntu for desktop effects or a channel i can go to
[06:09] <klownish> i got it to work.
[06:10] <fr500> icesword: then you should set the firewall to permit ICMP packets from your ubuntu box
[06:10] <Photocopy> weeman13221: Try #compiz-fusion
[06:10] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel: Oops, no, I used -R the first time too
[06:10] <AtomicSpark> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[06:10] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: the correct method for fixing wouldve been to change / back to root (non-recursively), by doing it.... ah.
[06:10] <icesword> fr500, i will give it a try
[06:10] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: well, the fix for that is a reinstall.  Backup your data and reinstall
[06:10] <ubuntu_> I'm online from the LiveCD right now. Can someone tell me the command to fsck my ext3 partition (/dev/sda3)? I typed sudo fsck /dev/sda3 but it showed some problems and asked me for an additional command. My copy/paste isn't working in Terminal to show the error
[06:10] <AtomicSpark> weeman13221: follow that and then make sure you have the restricted driver installed. you may also need xserver-xgl package
[06:10] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel: That isn't good atm
[06:11] <Sweet-P> does anyone here have experience with Asterix PBX running on Ubuntu?
[06:11] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: nope, but it's really all you can do.
[06:11] <weeman13221> thanks
[06:11] <rainwalker> ubuntu_: to copy/paste in a terminal you have to do control + SHIFT + c/v
[06:11] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel: I doubt it :P
[06:11] <AtomicSpark> you have to be kidding me. after waiting this whole time, ubuntu 8.04 a4 is failing to install grub :|
[06:11] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: No, it really is.  You changed the group of your *entire* filesystem to be owned by www-data
[06:11] <Flannel> AtomicSpark: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support, thanks
[06:12] <ubuntu_> rainwalker: Not working
[06:12] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: er, not owned, but the group.
[06:12] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel: But then I changed it back ;)
[06:12] <rainwalker> ubuntu_: what about highlighting it and middle-clicking to paste?
[06:12] <ubuntu_> rainwalker: I can paste but not copy
[06:12] <rainwalker> oh
[06:12] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: no, because everything in your filesystem isn't *supposed* to have the group of root.  All sorts of exceptions.
[06:12] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel: Oh yeah :P
[06:12] <icesword> fr500, i have tried that,it didnot work
[06:13] <AtomicSpark> Flannel: ha its fine. i'm just complaining how long its been taking to install into KVM. ill try there. LILO seems to be installing.
[06:13] <fr500> Thedjatclubrock: so you lnow what is the group of every single file on the filesystem
[06:13] <fr500> icesword: if you can ping the gateway
[06:13] <fr500> and the other pc can ping teh gateway
[06:13] <fr500> is gotta be a firewall issue on one of the 2 pcs
[06:13] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel: But then I made everything but /etc/ my group
[06:13] <icesword> fr500, yeah,i can,he can too,we got the firewall closed
[06:14] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: It's broken.  Make backups (liveCD is good for that) and reinstall.
[06:14] <fr500> closed is not disabled on some firewalls
[06:14] <fr500> assuming it is disabled, can the other pc ping yours?
[06:14] <icesword> fr500, no,he can ping the gateway,but not me
[06:14] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel: I just installed it !!!!!!!!!
[06:15] <fr500> icesword: maybe you have the firewall?
[06:15] <mjw-> Thedjatclubrock then you don't have much to lose
[06:15] <fr500> icesword: iptables, firestarter
[06:15] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: then you don't really have a whole lot of data to lose.
[06:15] <fr500> or something alike
[06:15] <icesword> fr500,no,i have no
[06:15] <viktor> can awn have stacks
[06:15] <Thedjatclubrock> Flannel: But It takes for ever to load
[06:15] <rainwalker> viktor yes
[06:15] <fr500> icesword: as i said fw issue
[06:15] <Jangari> my webcam isn't being recognised, even after installing a driver that is supposed to support it, lsusb shows it, so the machine knows it exists, any ideas?
[06:15] <fr500> or icmp is disabled on the other box
[06:15] <viktor> how cant find the option
[06:16] <icesword> fr500, it is,we are in the same ip range,222.140.5.*,got the same gateway222.140.5.94
[06:16] <rainwalker> viktor: go to System > Preferences > AWN manager, go to the applets section, and add the stacks applet
[06:16] <icesword> fr500, fw??
[06:16] <Flannel> Thedjatclubrock: Well, it'll take 10 times longer to fix, and even then, it'll limp.
[06:16] <rainwalker> Jangari: what are you trying to use it with?
[06:16] <fr500> icesword: firewall
[06:16] <viktor> also i cant add icons to it
[06:16] <Flannel> !away > iyO|Absent
[06:17] <Jangari> camorama for now, just to establish whether or not its ever going to work, for skype, say
[06:17] <Beryllium> apt-get install ham-and-cheese-sandwich
[06:17] <ubuntu_> How do I make fsck do <y> for all options automatically?
[06:17] <rainwalker> Jangari: I would say to try to use it with skype then; my webcam didn't work to well with camorama but fine with amsn
[06:18] <AtomicSpark> ubuntu_:  try -r (recursive)
[06:18] <Jangari> still not being recognised
[06:18] <Sweet-P> fsck -y ?
[06:18] <Beryllium> ubuntu_: I'd highly recommend reading the man page
[06:18] <goblin> .
[06:18] <milo> Beryllium: Couldn't find package ham-and-cheese-sandwich
[06:18] <Beryllium> milo: that's cuz I ate it
[06:18] <goblin> can somebody tell me which port is "TOR" ?
[06:18] <michael> how do u screw computers?
[06:18] <ubuntu_> My system's gone crazy every since I resized my partitions last night
[06:18] <rainwalker> Jangari: what webcam?
[06:18] <jcg42> What is the best Widget engine?
[06:19] <rainwalker> michael: um...what?
[06:19] <weeman13221> anybody know how to get an xfx 512mb 8800GTS workin in ubuntu for desktop effects or a channel i can go to?
[06:19] <rainwalker> jcg42: screenlets
[06:19] <rainwalker> weeman13221: did you try #compiz-fusion?
[06:19] <ubuntu_> Windows won't boot anymore, and ext3 is full of errors
[06:19] <Beryllium> ubuntu_: Fixing file systems is a bit of a dark art ...
[06:19] <AtomicSpark> ubuntu_: it's -p
[06:19] <Jangari> logitech communicate
[06:19] <bazhang> for compiz screenlets without gdesklets jcg42
[06:19] <jcg42> rainwalker, that's the one that uses compiz right?
[06:19] <Jangari> rainwalker: ^
[06:19] <AtomicSpark> ubuntu_: automatic repair, no questions
[06:19] <ubuntu_> AtomicSpark: Uh. I already did -r. Should I cancel it?
[06:20] <rainwalker> jcg42: yes, but it's no longer required! neat, huh?
[06:20] <klownish_> wow, that was weird.
[06:20] <Jangari> you know what bites? ls -R on an ipod touch's terminal, since you can't ctrl+C
[06:20] <rainwalker> Jangari: hmm...I think that might be the same as mine, but not sure. either way, logitech's webcams don't seem to be the best with linux :(
[06:20] <Jangari> ls -R /*
[06:20] <AtomicSpark> ubuntu_: i would since -r isnt even in the help file :\
[06:20] <Jangari> i agree rainwalker
[06:20] <ubuntu_> okay
[06:21] <AtomicSpark> weeman13221: did my instructions earlier not help you? :P
[06:21] <rainwalker> jcg42: the screenlets won't be transparent and stuff, but you can still use them
[06:21] <weeman13221> yeah no good atomicspark
[06:21] <lachlan> my windows partition wont load now i have ubuntu installed it stalls at starting up when i pick windows in grub
[06:21] <weeman13221> i got the menu toc ome up
[06:21] <Jangari> i might have to splash out on a new one, in which case, are there any webcams that anyone knows of that are supported by ubuntu?
[06:21] <weeman13221> but it does nothing
[06:21] <AtomicSpark> weeman13221: install xserver-xgl, logout and log back in?
[06:21] <lachlan> is there anything i can do to fix it?
[06:22] <Jangari> lachlan: your grub has the wrong partition labelled in the grub's menu.lst
[06:22] <jcg42> jcg42, I actually want the ones that use compiz so I can get the cool effects
[06:22] <Jangari> find out which partition has what and edit the menu.lst
[06:22] <rainwalker> jcg42: use screenlets
[06:22] <bazhang> jcg42: screenlets then
[06:22] <lachlan> jangari do you know what to do to fix it?
[06:22] <rainwalker> jcg42: I would say screenlets no matter what
[06:23] <weeman13221> ill try that
[06:23] <rainwalker> jcg42: here - http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Screenlets+0.0.12+final+rev+174?content=73346
[06:23] <Jangari> i'm looking through the various possibilities as we speak, lachlan, but i know this is an area that others here have helped me with in the past,
[06:25] <CrazyPhil_> Hi. How can I know if DMA is enabled on my hard disks?
[06:25] <Jangari> dammit, what's the disk management app?
[06:26] <jcg42> rainwalker, Why does this site: http://www.screenlets.org say the latest is 0.0.10, but that gnome-look page lists 0.0.12?
[06:26] <rainwalker> Jangari: gparted?
[06:26] <Dr_willis> CrazyPhil_,   $ sudo hdparm  /dev/hda
[06:26] <Dr_willis>  
[06:26] <Jangari> that'll do, isn't there one that ships with ubuntu out of the box?
[06:26] <rainwalker> jcg42: the original creator of screenlets no longer has time to maintain them, so that person on gnome-look is the new mainainer
[06:26] <rainwalker> Jangari: gparted does
[06:26] <Jangari> really?
[06:26] <rainwalker> ...I think?
[06:27] <Jangari> where is it?
[06:27] <CrazyPhil_> Dr_willis, I have try that command. I don't get any response relative to DMA!
[06:27] <lachlan> jangari want me to install Gparted now?
[06:27] <jcg42> rainwalker, so is this: http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/screenlets/ probably better for info?
[06:27] <Dr_willis> CrazyPhil_,  use the proper /dev/ entry for your disk?
[06:27] <rainwalker> Jangari: I think it does, I'm almost positive gparted is what handles partitioning when you first install
[06:27] <isleshocky79> is there a way of checking out network bandwidth usage from the command line in ubuntu
[06:27] <isleshocky79> per command/program if possible?
[06:28] <Dr_willis> !info ntop
[06:28] <ubotu> ntop (source: ntop): display network usage in top-like format. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:3.2-10.1 (gutsy), package size 2707 kB, installed size 11172 kB
[06:28] <CrazyPhil_> Dr_willis, IO_support    =  0 (default 16-bit) - readonly      =  0 (off) - readahead     = 256 (on) - geometry      = 24792/255/63, sectors = 398297088, start = 0
[06:28] <CrazyPhil_> that's all I get
[06:28] <Jangari> lachlan, install gparted
[06:28] <rainwalker> jcg42: just another screenlets page, it should be fine (I always get it from gnome-look just cause I'm sure it's up-to-date)
[06:28] <Jangari> i discovered i don't have it either
[06:28] <Thedjatclubrock>  sudo: must be setuid root  HELP
[06:29] <isleshocky79> Dr_willis: Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.
[06:29] <Thedjatclubrock>  sudo: must be setuid root          HELP
[06:29] <Thedjatclubrock>  sudo: must be setuid root          HELP
[06:29] <Dr_willis> CrazyPhil_,   are you using sata disks? whats y Your disks devioce name?
[06:29] <ubuntu_> I did fsck -p /dev/sda3 and it says unexpected inconsistency; Run fsck manually without -a or -p. So there's nothing I can do to select <y> automatically? I kept something heavy on top of the 'Y' key for like 45 minutes and it still didn't finish so I booted into LiveCD to do it from here, and it's still the same
[06:29] <Dr_willis> Thedjatclubrock,  how did you manage to unset it?
[06:29] <Starnestommy> Thedjatclubrock: go into recovery mode and type chmod +s /usr/bin/sudo
[06:29] <fr500> Thedjatclubrock: you broke it when you chgroup the whole /etc
[06:29] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  check the man pages for fsck theres a -y option. :)
[06:29] <goblin> Linux People how to make Reconnect na tor ( to change the ip on tor ) ?
[06:29] <goblin> Linux People how to make Reconnect na tor ( to change the ip on tor ) ?
[06:30] <mrtsunami> !repeat > goblin
[06:30] <Starnestommy> goblin: try asking #tor on freenode or OFTC
[06:30] <ahorriblemess> Does anyone use Audacity?
[06:30] <goblin> i'm sorry
[06:30] <christopher> still cant get the 8800gts to work any help from anyone?
[06:30] <fr500> !repeat > fr500
[06:30] <Dr_willis> I thought tor randomized the ip every so often.
[06:30] <goblin> i'm sorry nobody can help me
[06:30] <Jangari> i use audacity occasionally, ahorriblemess
[06:30] <Dr_willis> for connections at least.
[06:30] <ahorriblemess> If Audacity and Ardour don't use MIDI files, then how are you supposed to import the drumbeats you make in Hyrdrogen?
[06:30] <CrazyPhil_> Dr_willis, no this disk is IDE, device name I'm not sure what exactly you want
[06:30] <goblin> Starnestommy, can you help me?
[06:30] <fr500> christopher: what problem do you have?
[06:30] <lachlan> jangari gparted is now installed
[06:30] <Dr_willis> CrazyPhil_,  hda hdb hdc..  you are NOT using /dev/hda1 are you?
[06:31] <Jangari> audacity doesn't use midi, it uses pulse code modulation
[06:31] <christopher> trying to get a xfx 8800gts 512 mb in 7.10 for desktop effects etc
[06:31] <goblin> Starnestommy, if you help me i will remember you to the end of my life :S
[06:31] <christopher> its the G92 revision card
[06:31] <ahorriblemess> Jangari: is there some kind of plugin for Audacity or something?
[06:31] <goblin> i really need help
[06:31] <Beryllium> ubuntu_: Frankly, fsck isn't some godsend that can miraculously recover your drives ... you might be utterly boned at this point. "fsck" is interchanged with the f-word for a reason.
[06:31] <CrazyPhil_> Dr_willis, /dev/sda
[06:31] <Jangari> i don't know, ahorriblemess
[06:31] <Jangari> sorry, i don't ever work with midis and i can;t understand why you'd want to
[06:32] <Jangari> lachlan: can you see your partitions?
[06:32] <Dr_willis> CrazyPhil_,  its  using the sata/sccsi/libata system that means dma should allready be enabled for it then.
[06:32] <fr500> christopher: but what's the problem?
[06:32] <Beryllium> ubuntu_: What did you use to resize your partitions?
[06:32] <rainwalker> Beryllium: I always wondered why the words were so similar...
[06:32] <ubuntu_> Beryllium: So I should reinstall my OS?
[06:32] <ahorriblemess> Jangari: hmm... but Hydrogen and Audacity are packaged together sometimes... on Ubuntu Studio it's packaged along with Ardour... I'm just trying to figure out how to use my Hydrogen beats in Audacity
[06:32] <christopher> i cant get desktop effects to work
[06:32] <ubuntu_> Beryllium: Gparted
[06:32] <Starnestommy> goblin: I think vidalia can make tor change the exit node or circuit, but I'm not sure how do do it from the command line
[06:32] <CrazyPhil_> ok, thank you! :)
[06:32] <christopher> i got the advanced menu to selec the settings
[06:32] <Dr_willis> !libata
[06:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libata - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:32] <Dr_willis> hmmm
[06:32] <christopher> non of them do anything
[06:32] <christopher> even when enabled
[06:32] <christopher> so im tryin to get it work
[06:32] <lachlan> jangari no it is still scanning the disk its taking a while too
[06:32] <rainwalker> christopher: what are you trying to do?
[06:32] <christopher> im on a pretty fresh install
[06:32] <Beryllium> ubuntu_: Back when I used FreeBSD, someone had a catch-all phrase for situations like this. I might get kicked for saying it, but it deserves mentioning ... "Format and re-install, you're fucked."
[06:32] <goblin> tor-sw.voctel.net is this ip of TOR ?
[06:32] <christopher> tryin to get desktop effects in general to work
[06:33] <Jangari> hmm, lachlan, shoudn't take too long
[06:33] <christopher> IE desktop cube etc
[06:33] <ubuntu_> :(
[06:33] <Jangari> christopher: whatever you do with desktop effects, the best thing to get it going is several restarts
[06:33] <Beryllium> ubuntu_: If you can mount the ext3 partitions, you might be able to copy data off
[06:33] <rainwalker> christopher: what happens if you run "SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz" in a terminal?
[06:33] <bazhang> christopher: you have ccsm installed?
[06:33] <lachlan> jangari its taking a few min now
[06:33] <Zodiac-LA> #irc.myanmaronline.org
[06:33] <christopher> yes i have ccsm
[06:33] <rainwalker> bazhang: it doesn't matter if he has ccsm if he cant get compiz running ;P
[06:34] <bazhang> christopher: and you have the drivers for your card installed--the 3d ones?
[06:34] <christopher> dunno
[06:34] <rainwalker> christopher: wait, are you saying you already have compiz running?
[06:34] <christopher> dont things so
[06:34] <bazhang> christopher: what card
[06:34] <christopher> xfx 512mb 8800gts the new G92 revision
[06:34] <christopher> and for that command
[06:35] <christopher> bunch of stuff came up
[06:35] <christopher> Checking for Xgl: not present.
[06:35] <christopher> No whitelisted driver found
[06:35] <christopher> SKIP_CHECKS is yes, so continuing despite problems.
[06:35] <christopher> Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
[06:35] <christopher> Checking for non power of two support: present.

[06:35] <fr500> poor noob
[06:35] <bazhang> christopher: and where did you install the drivers from? the restricted driver manager, the site manually or other?
[06:36] <christopher> no drivers i think
[06:36] <christopher> restricted drivers thing says i dont need any
[06:36] <christopher> intructions from nvidia site dont work
[06:36] <rainwalker> fr500: no one is a n00b, just people that need help
[06:36] <fr500> christopher: don't ever ever paste output here
[06:36] <Jangari> anyway lachlan, while that's running, in a terminal, type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:36] <fr500> !pastebin > christopher
[06:36] <christopher> k
[06:36] <bazhang> dont work? could you be more precise christopher
[06:36] <fr500> rainwalker: yes i didn't mean wrong
[06:36] <christopher> like it tells u to run a certain command
[06:36] <christopher> on their site to install the drivers
[06:36] <fr500> i said poor noob because i was him got banned
[06:37] <rainwalker> christopher: from that output it sounds like compiz is running?
[06:37] <christopher> says it cannot do anything with the file pretty much
[06:37] <rainwalker> fr500: oh ok
[06:37] <lachlan> jangari i think i may need to un comment a line
[06:37] <bazhang> christopher: what did you try to with the file? download it or what

[06:38] <christopher> sh (the file) in terminal
[06:38] <christopher> one sec

[06:39] <christopher> Type "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run" to install the driver
[06:39] <christopher> thats what it says to run
[06:40] <Jangari> lachlan: has gparted finished analysing the disk yet?
[06:40] <rainwalker> christopher: check out what zqwe said first
[06:40] <lachlan> i think i may need to uncomment the "on /dev/sda1" line. what do you think?
[06:40] <lachlan> no it hasnt
[06:40] <lachlan> ive given up on it
[06:40] <Dr_willis> Hmm my 8800gts works with the resticted-manager driver.
[06:40] <christopher> dunno what my particular pci id is
[06:40] <christopher> they have a 8800 gts listed
[06:40] <fxblast> Hi, has anyone had problems with warsow under ubuntu 7.10?
[06:40] <christopher> i = newb
[06:40] <christopher> somewhat
[06:41] <Jangari> no, lachlan
[06:41] <blbrown> are there any security issues with having 'cvs' installed.  I wanted to get a project from sourceforge.  Is it a running server
[06:42] <Jangari> that's just a comment, it's fine, but i would worry that the (hd0,0) bit isn't right
[06:42] <ATG> rver kalm.7chan.org
[06:42] <ATG> sorry
[06:42] <Jangari> do you know which partition your xp install is on?
[06:43] <christopher> so any ideas anyone
[06:43] <Jangari> hd0,x = sda[x+1]
[06:43] <rainwalker> christopher: didn't that SKIP_CHECKS command get compiz running? it sounds like it started
[06:43] <Jangari> that is, a partition on sda1 is on hd0,0
[06:44] <fr500> blbrown: no
[06:44] <christopher> i dunno i guess but im not getting the desktop cube etc that i want
[06:44] <christopher> non of the effects are running
[06:44] <lachlan> jangari and that means what to a newbie like me?
[06:44] <Dr_willis> christopher,  ive see it where enabling settings in compiz get 'confused' and dont take.. untillyou log out/back in
[06:44] <Jangari> you need to get gparte drunning, lachlan, unnless you can remember which partitions the operating systems are on
[06:45] <rainwalker> christopher: do you have shadows around your windows? do your menus fade in and out?
[06:45] <rainwalker> christopher: you have to enable the desktop cube before you can use it
[06:45] <christopher> nope nuttin
[06:45] <Jangari> can you past the ubuntu lines of your menu.lst as well, lachlan?
[06:45] <christopher> i enabled everything
[06:45] <christopher> i have all i want enabled
[06:45] <DavoDinkum> "chown/chgrp bob -R -v /home/bob/" when i run this, it changes the owner and group of *other user's homedirs* to bob! Why is this?
[06:45] <DavoDinkum> *running as root
[06:45] <christopher> nothing works and ive logged out and back in before and still no work
[06:45] <christopher> i had this runnin on my last install with a ati x1300
[06:45] <lachlan> jangari yes i can but i can also mount my windows partition in ubuntu so i will grab its info
[06:46] <christopher> but i have a new install and this 8800 just not cooperating
[06:46] <rainwalker> christopher: ok, so run that skip checks command again (leave the terminal open) and hold control + alt + click
[06:46] <Jangari> okay, do that
[06:46] <bazhang> christopher: check to see what drivers you have--are they nv or nvidia
[06:46] <Jangari> the point is to get it's sda number
[06:46] <christopher> ok and what does control alt click do cause its doing nothing
[06:46] <christopher> newb here
[06:46] <christopher> be specific
[06:46] <lachlan> arghh disk properties doent give enough info
[06:47] <rainwalker> christopher: that's what you do to rotate the cube
[06:47] <bazhang> christopher: you want help or not? please tell me drivers name nv or nvidia
[06:47] <Jangari> just try gparted again, with a mounted fs it might be quicker
[06:47] <christopher> i dunno what drivers
[06:47] <christopher> like i said
[06:47] <lachlan> jangari there you go http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56316/
[06:48] <christopher> dunno if any installed
[06:48] <bazhang> christopher: so check what they are
[06:48] <christopher> and no desktop rotate
[06:48] <christopher> ok so how
[06:48] <christopher> i said im a newb for the most part
[06:48] <bazhang> ugh
[06:48] <christopher> be specific
[06:48] <Thedjatclubrock> HelP: My eth won't be assigned an IP
[06:49] <lachlan> its SDA1
[06:49] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: open up the terminal and type ifconfig
[06:49] <Photocopy> I have a computer that dualboots windows XP and Ubuntu 7.10. I no longer need windows xp. Is there a safe way to format that partition to EXT3 to be used for more storage or some crap?
[06:49] <ArtVandalae> Anyone using Hardy, can they confirm this is what the new wallpaper looks like: http://andregondim.eti.br/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/hardy-tela.png
[06:49] <lachlan> according to a kde disk usage app
[06:49] <bazhang> !hardy | ArtVandalae
[06:49] <ubotu> ArtVandalae: 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
[06:49] <Jangari> right, so it's not the grub loader, something else is awry
[06:50] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: Yeah,,???
[06:50] <ArtVandalae> bazhang, thanks
[06:50] <bazhang> np
[06:50] <Jangari> this is about the extent of my knowledge on the subject i'm afraid, lachlan
[06:50] <zqwe>  christopher: lspci -v   --- find pci id of your video card
[06:50] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: what does it say
[06:50] <Thedjatclubrock> one sec
[06:50] <lachlan> jangari. well maybe you would know how to install windows without wiping grub?
[06:50] <bazhang> heh
[06:50] <Jangari> but what happens when you boot? it loads the grub, you select windows xp, and hit enter, and then what? ubuntu loads?
[06:51] <lachlan> im just missing a few games i used to play :P
[06:51] <christopher> gives me unknown device
[06:51] <christopher> knows its an xfx though
[06:51] <lachlan> jangari what happens is that i pick xp and it says starting up.. and stays there
[06:52] <Jangari> i don't know if that's possible, lachlan, or easy at all, but you can install windows, which will wipe your grub as you know, then get super grub disk, a boot cd which will restore the grub, but then you'll need to go and edit the grub again to allow xp, which should be too hard, just keep a backup copy of this one
[06:52] <Jangari> should not* be too hard, sorry
[06:52] <Ashfire908> anyone know a guide to set up a ubuntu system to act as almost a cable/dsl modem to a router (on the wan port)?
[06:52] <lachlan> ok
[06:53] <Jangari> was it a recent installation of xp
[06:53] <baseLine> how can i see how many space are free on hdd?
[06:53] <Jangari> ?
[06:53] <Starnestommy> baseLine: df -h
[06:53] <zqwe> christopher: for me it says Unknown device 81fa
[06:53] <baseLine> thx
[06:53] <lachlan> but yeah like when grub loads into ubuntu it says starting up and thats it well it gets stuck on that screen
[06:53] <rainwalker> baseLine: or open the system monitor
[06:53] <lachlan> no it was an old install
[06:53] <lachlan> maybe 2 months
[06:54] <christopher> unknown device 0600 (rev a2)
[06:54] <christopher> correction
[06:54] <Jangari> someone else might have to intervene here and help you lachlan, sorry, i can't tell what's wrong
[06:54] <christopher> Subsystem: XFX Pine Group Inc. Unknown device 2332
[06:54] <lachlan> ok thanks anyway
[06:55] <Jangari> nickrud is good with booting sh|t, i think

[06:55] <Mushrooms> Hello all, i've been trying for the last 3 hours to in an attempt to fix up some language support problems for Pidgin... but have not gotten very far. Is there anyone who may have had similar problems out there?
[06:56] <Jangari> hey Mushrooms, good to see demicrosoftening hasn't been a completely easy ride
[06:58] <Mushrooms> Jangari: >.< sorry what does demicrosoftening mean?
[06:58] <christopher> screw microsoft
[06:58] <christopher> about equivalent
[06:58] <Jangari> getting oneself away from microsoft
[06:58] <j_humphrey> how can i find out if i use Xgl or AIGLX?
[06:58] <Thedjatclubrock>  sudo: must be setuid root       HELP
[06:58] <Mushrooms> Jangari: lulz :) i've been thinking it for a long long time now. this week has been my bold attempt. Actually i've tried to convert to a linux system 5 times now. 5th time lucky. I hope
[06:59] <Dr_willis> Thedjatclubrock,  boot a live cd. and set the suid bit on the 'sudo' command.
[06:59] <christopher> ok so anymore ideas on my 8800gts prob
[06:59] <KingMorpheus> hey guys. can anyone help me with some ubuntu 7.10 installing issues
[06:59] <bazhang> KingMorpheus: ask away
[06:59] <Thedjatclubrock> Dr_willis: SET THE waaa?
[06:59] <electrofreak> how can I run more consoles on my system?
[06:59] <Starnestommy> Thedjatclubrock: go into recovery mode, then type chmod +s /usr/bin/sudo.  You'll need to reboot frist to get into recovery mode, though
[06:59] <Starnestommy> *first
[06:59] <Mushrooms> Jangari: oh i understand it now it's meant to read de-microsoftening, not demi-cro-softening lulz
[06:59] <Dr_willis> Thedjatclubrock,  the suid bit.. like someone said earlier.. 'chmod +s /path/to/sudo
[06:59] <rainwalker> electrofreak: what do you mean?
[07:00] <Jangari> that's right, Mushrooms
[07:00] <Dr_willis> Thedjatclubrock,  if you dont know what the suid bit is/does. youmight want to google for info on it. It makes the app run as thowever owns the file/app
[07:00] <electrofreak> rainwalker, I mean I want more consoles running on my ubuntu system.....
[07:00] <j_humphrey> how can i find out if i use Xgl or AIGLX?
[07:00] <bazhang> electrofreak: open them
[07:00] <rainwalker> as in, gnome-terminal, xterm, konsole, etc all at the same time?
[07:00] <Jangari> and yeah, i had about three failed attempts before this round'
[07:00] <KingMorpheus> bazhang i downloaded the ubuntu 7.10 version from their website, erased my hdd and tried to install ubuntu. however it will not boot from that cd. i have no way to start the setup. what can i do?
[07:01] <j_humphrey> kingmorpheus, did you check the md5?
[07:01] <electrofreak> bazhang, I mean by default... at boot. Where is it configured to open the 6 default consoles?
[07:01] <pvl1> is there someting like logmein for ubuntu that will work on a pocket pc
[07:01] <Mushrooms> Jangari: May I talk about my problem with you? maybe you would be able to point me in a more appropriate direction to look for a solution
[07:01] <rainwalker> KingMorpheus: are you sure you created a live cd and didn't just burn the iso onto the cd?
[07:01] <bazhang> KingMorpheus: how did you erase your system? how is it formatted? what cd--what system specs in terms of ram and cpu
[07:01] <KingMorpheus> j_humphrey sorry, new to linux and not up to date with names. what is md5?
[07:01] <Jangari> Mushrooms: what's the problem? language support on pidgin?
[07:01] <j_humphrey> an md5 is a thing that makes sure the download isnt corrupted
[07:01] <KingMorpheus> the specs are more than enough for what ubuntu asks
[07:01] <Jangari> !md5 | KingMorpheus
[07:01] <ubotu> KingMorpheus: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[07:02] <j_humphrey> how can i find out if i use Xgl or AIGLX?
[07:02] <bazhang> see above j_humphrey

[07:02] <Thedjatclubrock> HelP:My eth's won't be assigned an IP
[07:03] <christopher> still cant get the 8800gts to work any help from anyone?
[07:03] <lorenzo> Testing Ubuntu Hardy. Wine 0.9.55 is giving me segfault. How can I find out where the bug is? Is my drive_c or my .wine itself incompatibla? I got .wine when I installed 0.9.54 last week before it upgraded. It worked fine then.
[07:03] <Mushrooms> Jangari: My contact list has people from different parts of asia, and the characters are not showing up in the contact list. This, i'm not really too concerned about. But what I am concerned about is that I can no longer type in Japanese/Korean/ or Chinese. It just shows up as empty boxes
[07:03] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: you never answered my question about what ifconfig returns
[07:03] <Jangari> also, KingMorpheus, make sure you have the right cd for your system, if it's a 32-bit intel laptop you'll need the 'x86 desktop' version
[07:03] <Jangari> let me think about that for a moment, Mushrooms
[07:03] <Mushrooms> Jangari: ok
[07:03] <lorenzo> BTW, my wine and Ubuntu are the AMD64 versions.
[07:03] <Symmetria> hrm, anyone here got any idea how on an exim4 installation I cna white list an email address to send irrespective of which IP is connecting to the mail server
[07:04] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: Oops, on LO, not much, on ethm (what part do you want, there is no ip)
[07:04] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: there is an ethernet cable attached from startup, or after you were started up
[07:05] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: At start-up , but as an aside I have 3 installed :P
[07:05] <KingMorpheus> it is a compaq presario v2000 running widows xp mobile amd 2800+ processor
[07:05] <KingMorpheus> 795 mhz
[07:05] <KingMorpheus> 384 ram
[07:05] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: three ethernet cards? or three cables?
[07:05] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: 3 cards, 1 cable
[07:05] <viktor> hi i just installed wine and cant find it
[07:06] <nezware> do you know a channel in spanish?
[07:06] <masnet10> fruty
[07:06] <Thedjatclubrock> !sp
[07:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:06] <rainwalker> viktor: if you installed it right there should be a "wine" entry in your applications menu
[07:06] <Starnestommy> nezware: #ubuntu-es
[07:06] <rainwalker> !es
[07:06] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[07:06] <Thedjatclubrock> !es
[07:06] <bazhang> KingMorpheus: apart from the possible error in burning the iso--as data instead of an image, have you considered the alternate cd? that works when the livecd chokes sometimes
[07:06] <masnet10> fruty
[07:06] <sweetsinse> !icecat
[07:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about icecat - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:06] <viktor> rainwalker its not there
[07:06] <dznodes> Can someone tell me how to had the network manager applet to the top panel?
[07:06] <nezware> thankz
[07:06] <masnet10> #bogor
[07:06] <rainwalker> viktor: how did you install it?
[07:06] <viktor> the sudo apt-get install wine
[07:07] <rainwalker> hmm
[07:07] <j_humphrey> if i want install multiple programs at once, i jsut do a: "sudo apt-get install program1 program2" right?
[07:07] <rainwalker> viktor: what happens if you run "winecfg"?
[07:07] <sweetsinse> dznodes: right click the panel and add Notification area
[07:07] <bazhang> yes j_humphrey
[07:07] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: Ideas?
[07:07] <mkquist> j_humphrey: yes
[07:07] <j_humphrey> mmk, thanks
[07:07] <masnet10> fruty
[07:07] <masnet10> fruty
[07:07] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: and you have tried the various cards? or only the one?
[07:07] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: All 3
[07:07] <bazhang> masnet what is your issue?
[07:07] <Jangari> Mushrooms: not having much luck here
[07:08] <viktor> wine configuration jsut came up but it was creating the wine config diretory b4 it came up
[07:08] <KingMorpheus> bazhang its probablly burnt as data, since windows and my burning program was set as so. how do i burn it as an "image"?
[07:08] <masnet10> fruty
[07:08] <dznodes> There is no "notification area"
[07:08] <rainwalker> masnet10: why are you repeating yourself?
[07:08] <bazhang> KingMorpheus: in windows use isorecorder2 to do it
[07:08] <lorenzo> rainwalker: I have the Wine menu, but everything just segfaults. What version of wine did you install? I installed 0.9.54 and it created the menu which seems to change as I install programs to drive_c.
[07:08] <bazhang> masnet10: stop now
[07:08] <Mushrooms> Jangari: i see >.< I have done some testing with pidgin, and i'm pretty confident that the problem lies in pidgin. Because even though i receive what appears to be empty boxes, i can copy that, and paste it into something like gedit. When i do that, I can see it.
[07:08] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: ?
[07:09] <viktor> rainwalker: i think mine was 46 instead or somethigng
[07:09] <rainwalker> lorenzo: the menu changes, as in the programs are added to it?
[07:09] <electrofreak> rainwalker, bazhang: nvm. I found it. It's all in /etc/event.d/. Apparently that replaces /etc/inittab
[07:09] <dznodes> When I click the "Add to panel" option it takes me to a list and network manager is not on that list.
[07:09] <Jangari> righto
[07:09] <viktor> 0.9.46
[07:09] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: This is a command line system :P
[07:09] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: just curious; why three cards?
[07:09] <lorenzo> rainwalker: Yes.
[07:09] <Jangari> dunno about how to solve that, Mushrooms
[07:09] <rainwalker> lorenzo: it's supposed to do that, but I don't know why it segfaults
[07:09] <rainwalker> viktor, did you add the wine repo?
[07:09] <Mushrooms> Jangari: so at least i've confirmed that SCIM is working, and ubuntu language seems to be working, and probably just how pidgin handles the different encodings
[07:09] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: IDK, they were there whrn  Igot it
[07:09] <lorenzo> rainwalker: If I run a Windows setup program it adds it to the Wine menu.
[07:10] <viktor> rainwlaker: whats that
[07:10] <Mushrooms> Jangari: i see, that's ok, thanks for helping
[07:10] <rainwalker> lorenzo it's supposed to do that
[07:10] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: this is ubuntu-server?
[07:10] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: Command line
[07:10] <rainwalker> viktor do you know what repositories are?
[07:10] <viktor> rainwalker: not really at all can i try installing your version instead
[07:10] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: there is no listing for any of the cards in ifconfig? what does lspci show
[07:10] <masnet10> malang
[07:11] <dznodes> where do I add the "network manager icon to the top panel"
[07:11] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: They are listed, they just don't get assigned an ip
[07:11] <Mushrooms> Jangari: I wish they had something like http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/604 for ubuntu
[07:11] <dznodes> How can I speak to you in a private channel?
[07:12] <Darkmystere> Err, im asking in most ubuntu channels how do i enable direct rendering on my ATI Raedon Xpress 200M Series Graphics card?
[07:12] <Darkmystere>  Also are there any new flgrx versions for my specific card?
[07:12] <bazhang> dznodes: register then ask the person you want to pm
[07:12] <lorenzo> rainwalker: Could the segfault be a problem with 0.9.55? 0.9.54 works fine. I was able to run my daughter's CD-ROM's perfectly, but since the upgrade I can't run anything.
[07:12] <DavidW2> hi. I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it doesn't give me a choice of resolutions. is this normal?
[07:12] <bazhang> DavidW2: with the sudo command?
[07:13] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: any way to remove the other two cards?
[07:13] <DavidW2> bazhang: yes, with sudo, it gives me other choices, like the keyboard, but nothing having to do with video
[07:13] <rainwalker> lorenzo: how did you install it? I'm still on 0.9.54
[07:13] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: I guess :P
[07:13] <sweetsinse> dznodes:
[07:13] <rainwalker> viktor: do you see the private message I sent you
[07:13] <bazhang> DavidW2: what card and what drivers
[07:13] <lorenzo> rainwalker: I'm running an early Hardy. It just upgraded before the freeze.
[07:13] <sweetsinse> dznodes: there isnt a network manager section.. you add it by adding notification icon
[07:14] <rainwalker> lorenzo: ohh...I'm still on gutsy, so I have no idea
[07:14] <viktor> rainwalker:  yes but i cant reply
[07:14] <rainwalker> viktor: ohh ok
[07:14] <viktor> rainwalker: i dont know how to register
[07:14] <bazhang> !register

[07:19] <msferoz85> hello folks
[07:19] <rainwalker> hey msferoz85
[07:20] <msferoz85> my network server is windows based. how do i connect to the internet with ubuntu n this case?
[07:20] <israfil> How do I switch between Desktops, (not workspaces)
[07:20] <israfil> I have two desktops, but one of them is completely empty
[07:20] <bazhang> israfil: using compiz?
[07:20] <israfil> theres no panels
[07:20] <israfil> yep
[07:20] <israfil> compiz <3
[07:20] <msferoz85> my network server is windows based. how do i connect to the internet with ubuntu n this case?
[07:21] <Jangari> !repeat | msferoz85
[07:21] <ubotu> msferoz85: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[07:21] <bazhang> israfil: you want the cube?
[07:21] <mr__daniel> msferoz85: we have read you question, I am already searching for en solution, please wait ...
[07:21] <msferoz85> sorry :$
[07:21] <Jangari> s'alright, now you know
[07:21] <israfil> no i have the cube
[07:21] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: DOne
[07:21] <israfil> I need to know how to switch between desktops, not workspaces
[07:21] <bazhang> israfil: then what is the question
[07:21] <israfil> cube switches between workspaces
[07:22] <bazhang> aha
[07:22] <israfil> on the bottom right of my screen it says "switch to desk 2"
[07:22] <Jangari> israfil: i don't think compiz will allow multiple desks
[07:22] <bazhang> ctrl alt left mousebutton click or ctrl alt down israfil
[07:22] <israfil> when I click that, that desktop is completely empty, all i see is the wall paper and I don't know how to set it up
[07:22] <Jangari> that is, as well as multiple workspaces
[07:22] <Daniel3> i installed ubuntu in my 50 gb of unallocated space and then i restarted my computer and now it says "Error loading operating system"
[07:22] <israfil> I had to restart my comp to get out of it lol
[07:23] <israfil> ctrl + alt + down didnt work
[07:23] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: try the ifconfig again in terminal and see if it brings up a eth0 listing
[07:23] <Daniel3> what am i supposed to do
[07:23] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: It brings up LO, and the eth is 1 btw
[07:23] <Jangari> i had that problem a couple of times, israfil, you have to have the settings right, and once they are right, never change them again, essentially
[07:23] <Starnestommy> Daniel3: sounds like a busted mbr.  Do you have any other operating systems installed on it?
[07:23] <bazhang> israfil: alt-f2 compiz --replace should get compiz going, then you need to initiate it
[07:23] <Daniel3> yeah
[07:23] <Daniel3> xp
[07:24] <Daniel3> two seperate operating systems
[07:24] <Jangari> msferoz85: i don't suppose you've tried samba?
[07:24] <Daniel3> two seperate partitions
[07:24] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: sudo dhclient eth1 what does that do
[07:24] <msferoz85> no i didnt
[07:24] <israfil> ah i see, let me give that a shot
[07:24] <israfil> brb
[07:24] <msferoz85> i am new to linux. don't know anything aboutit
[07:24] <Jangari> msferoz85: i'm not entirely sure what you're attempting though, can you elaborate?
[07:24] <Starnestommy> Daniel3: there should be fixmbr a or similar command in the XP recovery disc's recovery mode
[07:24] <Daniel3> ok
[07:24] <Daniel3> yeah
[07:24] <Daniel3> there is
[07:24] <Daniel3> i will try that AGAIN
[07:25] <Daniel3> sigh
[07:25] <bazhang> enter key Daniel3 try to use it less
[07:25] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: It tells me : Send_packet: Network is down          execve /lib/dhcp/......... Permission denied
[07:25] <Daniel3> ok
[07:25] <Thedjatclubrock> in sudo
[07:25] <KingMorpheus> bazhang, which version should i download for the laptop??
[07:25] <bazhang> Thedjatclubrock: this is adsl router/modem?
[07:25] <Janglogitech> desktop, i386, KingMorpheus
[07:25] <bazhang> KingMorpheus: the alternate iso
[07:26] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: This is a cable modem to a router to a 16 port switch
[07:26] <Janglogitech> bazhang: i don't think alternate is a good idea
[07:26] <mr__daniel> msferoz85: maybe this here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-network/+question/6961
[07:26] <msferoz85> Jangari: actually, it's quite common in Pakistan to have something called a "Cablenet", where the server gets a corporate connection, and provides inter to the neighborhood through LAN, pretty much like a corporate network. So, my cablenet server is using windows, while i want to use internet on my ubuntu
[07:26] <bazhang> Janglogitech: then you advise KingMorpheus ;]

[07:27] <Daniel3> this is new. I booted to ubuntu live cd and then went to boot from first hard disk and it said this "Booting from local disk... isolinux: Disk error 04,AX = 0201, drive 80"
[07:27] <goblin> so people ?
[07:27] <Daniel3> and then boot failded
[07:27] <mr__daniel> msferoz85: I think you need something called 'active ip_forward'
[07:28] <msferoz85> Janglogitech: i hope i have been successful in explaining what i want
[07:28] <Thedjatclubrock> bazhang: Ideas?
[07:28] <Janglogitech> as far as i know, msferoz85, you should be able to access the internet anyway, irrespective of the os of the server, but you should ask the administrator of this neighbourhood cablenet, it sounds wicked though
[07:28] <mr__daniel> msferoz85: I just know how to set this under ubuntu, but it also should be possible under windows, beacuse this 'internet-share-techniques' are all standardized
[07:28] <msferoz85> mr__daniel: can u please tell me a little more abouti t?? :S
[07:28] <Janglogitech> grr
[07:28] <Jangari> how did that happen
[07:28] <mr__daniel> msferoz85: unfortunately not, because I also don't know much about this technique
[07:29]  * Carbon <•~•~ ÏðÈâÅò ÂñÅì ~•~•>
[07:29] <mr__daniel> msferoz85: you should also consult a forum and/or IRC-Channel for windows-related topics
[07:29] <bazhang> what is the card thedjatclubrock

[07:31] <tdjacr|away> Night
[07:31] <bazhang> tdjacr|away: restarted already with only the one card and the ethernet installed? ifconfig recognizes your card but fails to give a connection?
[07:31] <bazhang> heh
[07:31] <tdjacr|away> bazhang: Yep :P
[07:31] <tdjacr|away> bazhang: Ideas?
[07:31] <Sublimation> ok, super simple question I think.... need to redirect from /var/www to /var/www/directory with either a index.php or index.html but can't find the code... i think I'm just reallly sleepy.  Any help?
[07:32] <bazhang> tdjacr|away: what about your cable modem? you have access to it?
[07:32] <poutine> Where do core files go? How can I fix them not being there? ulimit -c unlimited is not working
[07:32] <tdjacr|away> bazhang: Yes, but it seems to be woorking (i am on irc)
[07:32] <bazhang> tdjacr|away: and how about a direct connection no through the router
[07:32] <BeastSE7> mr_daniel: it says this when i try "Depends: libemeraldengine0 but it is not going to be installed"
[07:32] <bazhang> does that work tdjacr|away?
[07:33] <tdjacr|away> bazhang: IDK, the router is in the garage, but my irc somputer is off of the same switch.
[07:33] <Daniel3> thank you so much for the help in installing ubuntu /sarcasm
[07:33] <mr__daniel> BeastSE7: are you able to install libemeraldengine0 ?
[07:33] <Daniel3> bye
[07:34] <mr__daniel> BeastSE7: i think you have a problem with the packet-manager
[07:34] <ahorriblemess> hi everyone. I'm trying to move some Audacity plug ins into the Audacity folder, but I don't have permission. Can someone tell me the terminal code to move the files, or is there a way I can enter my password to move them graphically?
[07:34] <bazhang> tdjacr|away: could be a router connection issue--if everything else remains the same and the cable modem is fine, then I suspect it it the ubuntu box has trouble communicating through the router
[07:34] <mr__daniel> BeastSE7: try to google for 'apt-get' and/or 'apt-cache' and/or 'cant install' and so one
[07:34] <mr__daniel> this will help you, I am sure
[07:35] <luislo> Hi all. Are you able to compile the btsco package to enable your bluetooth headset in the latest ubuntu distro? I'd really appreciate an answer coz this may be the reason why I change from suse to ubuntu
[07:35] <tdjacr|away> bazhang: I have another ubuntu box that works fine through the switch, and this one worked brfore after a dhclient
[07:35] <BeastSE7> mr_daniel: i try and instale the libemerad engine it just says more things are wrong
[07:35] <j0hng4lt> whoever turned me onto Open Arena earlier - thanks - it rocks
[07:35] <j0hng4lt> and xgalaga is not bad either
[07:35] <bazhang> tdjacr|away: after when did it stop working--if you can recall--also does a livecd get the internet connection
[07:35] <ahorriblemess> never mind
[07:36] <pvl1> j0hng4lt, i know quite a lot of good games for ubuntu
[07:36] <foo> err, system froze, nothing in the logs. I tested RAM, I tested the drives. It's just X that froze, I just ssh'd in. Anything I should do in the command line?
[07:36] <bazhang> j0hng4lt: stay away from sauerbraten ;]

[07:36] <pvl1> bazhang, i think  its sooo awesome
[07:36] <bazhang> pvl1: less time to live--it is too good
[07:36] <pvl1> bazhang, i agree, killtime is way to fast
[07:36] <bazhang> total time sink imo
[07:37] <tdjacr|away> bazhang: I don't have a live CD atm, it stopped working after my chgrp mistake
[07:37] <j0hng4lt> pvli, sure! I am liunx noob - so I do not know how to compile - but I love apt...  if m$ had apt, that would be a huge step
[07:37] <tdjacr|away> bazhang: Should I just reinstall?
[07:37] <pvl1> bazhang, j0hng4lt overall, i think the best open source game is tremulous
[07:37] <rainwalker> j0hng4lt: let's hope they never get it, eh? haha then we'd have less to brag about
[07:37] <bazhang> tdjacr|away: aha then that would be the prime suspect--what chgrp was this you speak of? I would get the livecd and boot up from that and see if that can get the internet
[07:38] <bazhang> pvl1: hard to argue with that ;]
[07:38] <j0hng4lt> I am a 2nd day linux noob, and that is hands down my favorite part of linux so far
[07:38] <tdjacr|away> bazhang: I accidentally set all files to root as the group :P
[07:38] <BeastSE7> im getting no luck
[07:38] <BeastSE7> maybe if i install another package handler?
[07:38] <pvl1> bazhang, but best game overall, in the fps catigory (f'''' spelling) is gears of war
[07:38] <bazhang> tdjacr|away: back up and then try the livecd--if that does it, then either fix the permissions or just reinstall
[07:38] <GreenByte> Hi all, how do I make a file by commands?
[07:38] <rainwalker> j0hng4lt: mine too, but it took me SO long to understand it, just cause I had no idea it even existed until I'd been using ubuntu for a couple of months
[07:38] <j0hng4lt> i am getting tremulous now
[07:39] <j0hng4lt> gears on linux?

[07:39] <pvl1> j0hng4lt, we wish
[07:39] <tdjacr|away> bazhang: I don't have a cd drive atm, It'll have to wait
[07:39] <bazhang> GreenByte: what file or folder
[07:39] <rainwalker> GreenByte: for making a file the command is "mkdir"
[07:39] <tdjacr|away> bazhang: Thank you

[07:39] <GreenByte> in var/run/mysqld

[07:39] <pvl1> j0hng4lt, im actually starting to see aliens and guns with chainsaws on them
[07:39] <tdjacr|away> bazhang: It was my fault :P
[07:39] <bluefoxx> ok, so im trying to download some torrents, and my connection keeps getting refused. its happening to every torrent i have tried so far, so i figure, it must be a problem with my firewall or something. how can i fix this?

[07:45] <pvl1> BeastSE7, sudo <program>
[07:45] <pvl1> er

[07:45] <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
[07:46] <Dr_willis> sudo mount /dev/devicename /media/MOUNTPOINTTHATMUSTEXIST -t vfat
[07:46] <Dr_willis> is the short answer. heh
[07:46] <BeastSE7> it says command not found
[07:46] <Dr_willis>  sudo whatevercommand
[07:46] <j0hng4lt> make sure you have a leading /
[07:47] <bluefoxx> sweetsinse, yea, thats whaat im trying to go for, i have a computer that absoulutely *refuses* to connect to the net with *any* of the 10ish networking cards ive tried in it, short of buying a usb ethernet adaptor this is my best idea XD
[07:47] <j0hng4lt> sudo /dir/subdir/command arugments

[07:47] <BeastSE7> its Adept Manager in Applications, System tools, Adept manager

[07:48] <Starnestommy> BeastSE7: gksudo adept &
[07:48] <clocKwize> and in the log file, it says it can't find a hd (or something similar)
[07:48] <sweetsinse> bluefoxx: as long as your hardware is recognized it should w3rk..  yu have to apply a fix to firestarter to use dhcp becasue its currently broken in gutsy
[07:49] <sweetsinse> firestarter looks for the wrong command
[07:49] <sweetsinse> and you have to manually tell firestarter which interface to share
[07:49] <BeastSE7> it said [2] 8128,  [1]  Done
[07:50] <bluefoxx> sweetsinse, i have this other computer, mobo is a asus tusi-m and no network card ive tried in it will work, i have a cheap network hub that is ok, this comp is in it, i got another old one going on it, but it refuses to use it
[07:51] <Starnestommy> BeastSE7: whoops, I had the wrong command.  Try sudo -b adept_manager
[07:51] <sweetsinse> yeah im not really sure what to do if ubuntu cant aquire the card
[07:51] <bluefoxx> sweetsinse, ive tried about 10-12 different network adaptors and short of trying to put in a thicknet system for it im out of ideas
[07:51] <BeastSE7> ahh thanks thats the one
[07:51] <BeastSE7> thanks mate
[07:53] <bluefoxx> sweetsinse, so far infact, i only have a intel adaptor on a older asus based comp and the 1996 3com card in this computer going, most of the other ones i tried were infact, identical models to the 3com in this computer, and i tested them to work fine at school...
[07:53] <clocKwize> anyone
[07:54] <Starnestommy> clocKwize: is the hard disk sata, ide, usb, or scsi?
[07:55] <sinsun> hi
[07:55] <clocKwize> Starnestommy sata
[07:55] <sweetsinse> bluefoxx what are you objectives exactly, you have a w3rking card in one comp but not the other right?
[07:55] <sugiezzz> h
[07:55] <bluefoxx> sweetsinse, i tried to install to this second comp with an alt install disk but it fails to recognize with the DHCP server, and then as it turns out somehow theres no kernel on the disk...
[07:56] <Starnestommy> clocKwize: have you tried downloading the cd image and burning it again?
[07:56] <clocKwize> yes 4 times
[07:57] <sweetsinse> is the dhcp server a router or is that the first comp
[07:57] <bluefoxx> sweetsinse, my objective is to get a working LAN so i can keep accounts on a main computer and use the others as terminals to log into this one from, then tutor my grandfather on how to use the damned thing so heel understand why i get pissed off at it sometimes...[i hate computer crashes, im allways working on something important when it happens to freeze...]
[07:58] <BeastSE7> how do i install emerald?
[07:59] <sweetsinse> bluefoxx what is the dhcp server
[08:00] <neil_d> I have found out the that the ubuntu encrypted LVM option is using "cipher name: aes    ciphter mode: cbc-essiv:sha256"  does this mean its use a 256 bit key length ?
[08:00] <bluefoxx> sweetsinse, my ISP is shaw, im runnning off of "high speed light" which is basically dial up through cable, and i tried even pluging the other comp directly into the modem to no result
[08:00] <sweetsinse> hmm

[08:01] <Starnestommy> BeastSE7: which version of ubuntu?

[08:25] <Flannel> BeastSE7: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[08:25] <nano__> Flannel: well I don't see how "rc" is explained...its a very bad way to explain status

[08:26] <nano__> Flannel: I cannot make any sense of that
[08:26] <xoai> okaasan: rar e file.rar to extract
[08:26] <okaasan> well, yeah, but what about with the gnome archiver thingy?

[08:29] <JPSman> Hello?
[08:29] <modderphyte> Good morning all.
[08:29] <xoai> okaasan: I don't know any GUI rar browser but I think CLI is good enough. if you just want to show content of archive, run rar l file.rar
[08:29] <BeastSE7> Flannel: Ubuntu 7.10
[08:29] <Flannel> nano__: there's three columns, the third is the error, first is desired, second is status.  You missde the first line in your paste.  (the lines are pointing to their respective columns)
[08:29] <hipitihop> does anyone have their WIFI running at speed > 54m ?
[08:29] <JPSman> Ok, I recently re-installed my windows...and now my duel boot menu at the begging of starting my computer has disappeared
[08:29] <Flannel> BeastSE7: that package is only in previous versions.  What are you trying to install?
[08:30] <magnetron> okaasan, xoai: the regular archive manager in Ubuntu supports RAR files, as soon as you install the "rar" package
[08:30] <Flannel> nano__: So, the rc, for instance, means you want to Remove, and there are still residual Config files left.
[08:30] <Flannel> nano__: ii means you want it Installed, and it is Installed
[08:30] <magnetron> !grub > JPSman
[08:31] <xoai> magnetron: thanks ^^ I am command-line fanboy
[08:31] <okaasan> also, how do I get ubuntu to use the sun JRE
[08:31] <nano__> Flannel: for the rc package...how does it know what I "desire"
[08:31] <xoai> !java
[08:31] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[08:32] <BeastSE7> Flannel: im trying to install emerald theme manager, i already hae compiz and stuff but not emerald
[08:32] <nano__> Flannel: Unless its suggesting that I remove it because a certain packages isn't being used at all?
[08:32] <icesword> who is mastering www.ubuntu.org.cn
[08:32] <jb1> Is anyone available that can help me get my X11 forwarding working between 2 gutsy systems?
[08:32] <okaasan> I installed it, but it looks to me like azureus is still using the OSS one
[08:32] <Flannel> BeastSE7: Your package isn't for 7.10, you should get a package that is supposed to be used with 7.10
[08:33] <BeastSE7> Huh?
[08:33] <sweetsinse> jb1 you need to install ssh
[08:33] <JPSman> thank you thank you thank you megnetron :OD
[08:34] <BeastSE7> what?
[08:34] <icesword> sweetsinse, they say ssh is safe.maybe it is safe for host
[08:34] <KalEl> hi
[08:34] <jb1> I have an open-ssh-server (sshd) running on box1, and an ssh client on box2.  The client can connect to the server for normal ssh operations fine.  Just can't forward X.  I attempt via ssh -Xv box1
[08:34] <KalEl> i finally got php and apache working!
[08:34] <sweetsinse> icesword what?
[08:34] <msferoz85> i cant find the freaking CLI.
[08:35] <Flannel> nano__: No, its saying that because you've removed it through a package manager.
[08:35] <xoai> okaasan: I recommend tranmission, a lightweight torrent client
[08:35] <msferoz85> where is it?
[08:35] <icesword> sweetsinse, i mean ssh is not good
[08:35] <okaasan> xoai: I'm not looking for a new client, I'm looking for azureus working
[08:35] <sweetsinse> why not
[08:35] <nano__> but i thought the dpkg-query -l command only returned the names of packages that i have on my system
[08:35] <nano__> unless, it is possible for me to have a package on my system, that is not installed...?
[08:35] <viktorious> how do install emaralth themse on ubuntu 7.10 gutsy
[08:35] <Flannel> nano__: It does.  That package was installed, has been removed, but the configuration is still around, so it still knows about it.
[08:36] <Flannel> nano__: When you "remove" in synaptic, configuration stuff remains, you need to do a "complete removal" to get rid of configs as well.
[08:36] <Flannel> nano__: with apt-get, its the difference between remove and remove --purge
[08:36] <xoai> okaasan: what is the OSS one?
[08:36] <nano__> Flannel: that really clears it up
[08:36] <sweetsinse> what is wrong with ssh
[08:37] <okaasan> xoai: icedtea
[08:37] <nano__> Flannel: in case you don't hear this enough: THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION
[08:37] <Flannel> nano__: No problem

[08:40] <jb1> sweetsinse, any ideas on where my forwarding is going wrong (or just as well, where i can go to find debugging information)?
[08:41] <thomasca> Hey, I just installed the new version of Ubuntu, and all the Compiz effects work fine except the transparent windows frames don't blur stuff behind them.
[08:41] <sweetsinse> jb1 what is the error when you try?  i use freenx for remote desktop, absolutely spectacular
[08:42] <sweetsinse> near local speeds
[08:42] <jb1> no error.  Try to load xterm, and don't get any feedback (local or remote)
[08:42] <natlinuxnewb> has xfire been discontinued?
[08:42] <jorgen> Smegzor, Are you sure you have all dependencies installed?
[08:43] <sweetsinse> jb1 so it connects and you see your remote machine, but nothing happens
[08:43] <lllsondowlll> I am trying to install the newest version ubuntu and I have a nvidia geforce graphics card fx 5500, Not sure how much ram though, but what I do know is when I get to a certain point in the install screen my tv displays weird flashing lines and my monitor goes blank (I am using clone video). I have even used graphic safe mode and no go.
[08:44] <lllsondowlll> I get sound however
[08:44] <SuperQ> lllsondowlll: what version of Ubuntu?
[08:44] <lllsondowlll> 7.10
[08:44] <SuperQ> :(
[08:44] <nano__> has anybody ever had difficulties printing more than 1 page document via firefox.
[08:44] <lllsondowlll> sadface?
[08:44] <Dupasax> hi there, i have problem with ubuntu 7.10 installation, i have prepared clean partitions (ext3 for "/boot" and "/" and swap area), is workin fine until its installing base system - i mean linux-generic, in these moment i see crash every time i try to retry, but on my brother comp there are no problem installing from same cd`s, so what is the problem?? can someone help me??
[08:45] <thomasca> Hey, I just installed the new version of Ubuntu, and all the Compiz effects work fine except the transparent windows frames don't blur stuff behind them.
[08:45] <Ayabara> when I try to use the webcam on my xps m1530 I get "could not connect to video device (/dev/video0), please check connection"
[08:45] <jb1> sweetsinse, yes.  SSH works well, all remote actions are fine.  However, whenever i launch an app that should then launch a window on my "local" box, it never launchs.  I found sometimes that if i waited a VERY long time, I would get the cannot open localhost:10.0 message, but that takes a long time, and is not visible always.
[08:45] <SuperQ> lllsondowlll: yea, it may require a bit of CLI tweaking to make work with the non-free nvidia driver
[08:45] <lllsondowlll> ?
[08:45] <nano__> somebody give me the name of a good ubuntu webbrowser (other than firefox)..>!
[08:45] <xoai> nano__: epiphany

[08:45] <nano__> xoai: sweet,thnx
[08:45] <lllsondowlll> non free nvidia driver?

[08:46] <Darkmystere> Hey im the one who cant get downloaded Skydome images to load....also same for the cubecaps
[08:46] <SuperQ> lllsondowlll: Ubuntu defaults to the open source nvidia driver, you have to run some terminal commands to enable the nvidia binary driver
[08:46] <sweetsinse> i guess i dont really know, i havent tried forwarding x over ssh becsaeu its too slow for my needs, i can give you a link to a freenx tut if you want
[08:46] <nano__> Starnestommy: Opera brings back many many memories......
[08:46] <SuperQ> lllsondowlll: hold on, let me find you a howto
[08:46] <lllsondowlll> just tell me what I need to do

[08:47] <lllsondowlll> thanks a bunch!
[08:47] <SuperQ> lllsondowlll: Sorry I can't help you with specifics, but that may help
[08:47] <SuperQ> lllsondowlll: no problem
[08:47] <lllsondowlll> I'll come back if I have any more problems
[08:47] <sweetsinse> is there a command tool for easily adding/removing entries from sources.list
[08:47] <natlinuxnewb> How do i find linux monitor drivers for Philips 105s?
[08:47] <root___> hello people
[08:47] <jb1> sweetsinse, that's fine, a link to freenx would be great, but ideally, i have very basic forwarding needs, so would love to continue to work towards getting it working (A few weeks ago, i had it forwarding... don't know if the latest kernel patches did something, or where the problem came from).  If anyone else out there has any hints, i would love them
[08:47] <bazhang> sweetsinse: gedit
[08:47] <SuperQ> lllsondowlll: Sorry it's going to be kinda complicated, and not GUI friendly
[08:48] <natlinuxnewb> hi root___

[08:48] <sweetsinse> no i am writing a script and i need to add/remove entries... id rather not write regex functions
[08:48] <bazhang> err vim, nano for cli sweetsinse
[08:48] <SuperQ> regexp is awesome tho :)
[08:48] <root___> who can help me?
[08:48] <root___> pls
[08:48] <lllsondowlll> and the CL 1 tweaking can be done during installation right?

[08:50] <natlinuxnewb> magnetron: thanx lol
[08:50] <Trel> Hardy is quite nice, but can be a pain to run on a production machine.
[08:50] <natlinuxnewb> How can I install a linux driver for a Philips 105s Monitor?
[08:50] <Trel> A bit easier than FreeBSD 7 has been on a server though.
[08:51] <SuperQ> Trel: heh
[08:51] <Dupasax> bazhang: i know that, but who have currently running Hardy
[08:51] <natlinuxnewb> i.e. for a monitor I'm not currently running.
[08:51] <bazhang> Dupasax: offtopic here--not a chat channel either
[08:51] <Trel> Dupasax: I have it running on three boxes now.
[08:51] <bazhang> natlinuxnewb: just plug it in
[08:51] <Darkmystere> Is there a way to Defrag windows partion from Linux?
[08:51] <Trel> bazhang: I think the name of the protocol here seems to disagree with you on that.
[08:51] <natlinuxnewb> bazhang: now why didnt i think of that. thanks lol
[08:52] <SuperQ> Darkmystere: not really
[08:52] <Dupasax> bazhang: i have tried Alpha 4, but is crashing after partition managing
[08:52] <bazhang> trel not sure what you mean--this is NOT the channel for hardy discussion
[08:52] <Trel> bazhang: Internet Relay Chat. It has to be a chat channel.

[08:52] <Darkmystere> :/ i resized my Windows partion and cant boot into it it just says starting and stays that way for hours..
[08:52] <Trel> Dupasax: #ubuntu+1
[08:53] <Dupasax> k
[08:53] <Darkmystere> and i cant load it no other Windows boxes :/
[08:53] <SuperQ> Darkmystere: oh, that sucks
[08:53] <mkquist> Darkmystere: prob messed up ur boot part...
[08:53] <bazhang> trel if you have a gutsy or earlier question then this is the place for support--for chit-chat join #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:53] <brizben> what does swap memory do? How can I see it in operation?
[08:53] <viktorious> does awn slow down the compiz and computer
[08:53] <mkquist> Darkmystere: i think resizing and expecting to work is dodgey at best.. for windows
[08:54] <SuperQ> Darkmystere: you may have to boot from a windows CD and do a "fix install" mode
[08:54] <bazhang> brizben kind of like virtual memory in windows
[08:54] <tonyyarusso> brizben: It's Linux's name for virtual memory.  It uses a portion of your hard disk as an extension of memory space.
[08:54] <SuperQ> mkquist: it works.. most of the time
[08:54] <mkquist> viktorious: what bashang just said
[08:54] <xoai> !swap
[08:54] <ubotu> 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
[08:54] <bazhang> viktorious: what is your issue? is awn slowing down your system?
[08:54] <mkquist> SuperQ: but its a risk
[08:54] <SuperQ> mkquist: of course there is the "Backup first" warning ;)
[08:54] <viktorious> i think so
[08:54] <SuperQ> mkquist: agreed
[08:54] <mkquist> SuperQ: lol, correct... no one ever listens tho...
[08:54] <brizben> bazhag so how do I make it work for me. I want to see it in action using system monitor.
[08:55] <SuperQ> mkquist: I know I don't, and I know better
[08:55] <bazhang> brizben: see it in action?how much ram do you have?
[08:55] <lue> but if your partitions break, you can still recover them... so i would just try
[08:55] <mkquist> SuperQ: mostly same here... when will we ever learn?
[08:55] <thomasca> Hey, I just installed the new version of Ubuntu, and all the Compiz effects work fine except the transparent windows frames don't blur stuff behind them.
[08:55] <brizben> bazhag 512Mb
[08:55] <viktorious> bazhang: could it be slowing
[08:56] <bazhang> thomasca: do you have the plugins-extra installed?
[08:56] <thomasca> I believe so, yes.
[08:56] <xoai> !compiz > thomasca
[08:56] <bazhang> viktorious not sure does it feel slower to you?
[08:56] <viktorious> i think so not sure
[08:56] <bazhang> thomasca: what about ccsm? and the correct 3d drivers for your card?
[08:57] <xoai> #compiz-fusion
[08:57] <thomasca> Yep, got that.
[08:57] <Dupasax> bazhang: then what i need to do with gusty livecd?? i`m trying to run this, but after splash i see only "out of range" like refresh problem, then on onther console i have tried to reconfigure xorg, but with no effect, after this i see "no device detected" when startx and at the end "no screens found", so?? what i need to do to run this correctly??
[08:57] <thomasca> And I do have plugins-extra installed for compiz fuzion.
[08:57] <bazhang> viktorious: it is likely that using awn with a lower end video card and compiz might lag things a bit
[08:57] <viktorious> 8500gt ??
[08:58] <bazhang> Dupasax: ah out of range--that is the monitor is set to a resolution that the card is not yet set up for you need to reconfigure your xorg.conf
[08:58] <Dupasax> bazhand: and i have radeon 2600
[08:58] <Luftzig> hi, I'm trying to setup internet connection sharing with DHCP using firestarter, but when I start firestarter I get an unknown error thingy
[08:59] <Dupasax> bazhang: i have tried this: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but that not helping me
[08:59] <Darkmystere> i even tried a fix mbr lol
[08:59] <bazhang> Dupasax: not real good here with ati stuff--what drivers did you install and how did you install them?
[08:59] <Darkmystere> But that didnt work :/
[08:59] <Dupasax> bazhang: on livecd??
[09:00] <bazhang> Dupasax: aha from the livecd? then that will likely have little effect
[09:00] <thegattaca> Anyone: It has been years since the MGA linux drivers worked with opengl correctly on the Matrox G550 Dual Head card. Has there been any progress or a fix?
[09:00] <Dupasax> bazhang: yes livecd
[09:00] <bazhang> viktorious that card should be well supported on ubuntu provided you have the correct 3d drivers installed
[09:01] <Mimi> Hi is there a way to load a program at the start?
[09:01] <Luftzig> I followed the firestarter's instructions, but no good
[09:01] <Flannel> Mimi: Which start?  boot or login?
[09:01] <sweetsinse> Luftzig: firestarter is broken in gutsy repo
[09:01] <xoai> !startup | Mimi
[09:01] <ubotu> Mimi: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[09:01] <bazhang> Dupasax: your computer is choking on the livecd and not giving you x server correct?
[09:01] <sweetsinse> Luftzig: i will find you the tutorial i used to fix it
[09:02] <Dupasax> bazhang: yes
[09:02] <cherva> I'm putting my scripts in ~/Scripts ... so witch file should I edit to tell BASH about them and tab complete them ? Is it .bashrc ?
[09:02] <bazhang> Dupasax: and have you tried to start up in safe mode?
[09:02] <Mimi> Flannel, I need to run NVClOCK or my computer sounds like a plane taking off...
[09:02] <Luftzig> sweetsinse, thanks
[09:02] <Dupasax> bazhang: yes, same story
[09:03] <Mimi> ubotu, thank you i try that
[09:03] <bazhang> Dupasax: that is odd; in the cases when I had no way to get x at all using the livecd I tried the alternate install and that did the trick--unless you do not want to install and are just evaluating
[09:04] <bazhang> Dupasax: but the alternate cd is ncurses based so it is a text install and you will need to tab and enter between the various choices
[09:04] <Flannel> !bum | Mimi

[09:05] <kozazz> hi
[09:05] <Flannel> Dupasax: Did you verify the CD?
[09:05] <Dupasax> bazhang: cd are good, on my brother computer works fine
[09:06] <kozazz> sadf
[09:06] <bazhang> Dupasax: what did you use to burn the iso image? what speed did you burn it at, what media did you use, did you check the md5 sum, and is it possible you burned it as a data disk instead of an image file--those are all things to consider
[09:06] <kozazz> quit
[09:06] <Mimi> ubotu, Can u say that again in English for Beginners .... Not Linux Pro
[09:06] <bazhang> Dupasax: then try the boot parameters with no apic
[09:06] <cherva> I'm putting my scripts in ~/Scripts ... so witch file should I edit to tell BASH about them so i can run them from anywhere? Is it .bashrc ?

[09:07] <L3ttuc3> bum? hahaha.
[09:08] <Mimi> bazhang, I think i allready did
[09:08] <Starnestommy> cherva: export PATH=`echo $PATH`:~/Scripts
[09:08] <Slart> Mimi: either you run nvclock manually when you reboot..or start your computer... or you create a script that runs it for you.. or wait for the next version of the restricted driver for nvidia... it's fixed in the driver from nvidias site
[09:09] <Slart> Mimi: but if I were you I'd put that script in crontab... to run every 5 minutes or so
[09:10] <brizben> has anyone here played with swappiness?
[09:11] <cherva> Starnestommy: thx
[09:11] <Mimi> Slart, so if i download it from the nvidea Website it sude fix it?
[09:11] <Slart> Mimi: yes.. they have a new version there
[09:11] <sweetsinse> Luftzig: you still here
[09:11] <Slart> Mimi: but I think you'll have to remove the restricted driver if you install the nvidia one
[09:12] <bazhang> brizben: not something you really play with--if your computer does not have adequate ram swap may sometimes be used short term
[09:12] <Mimi> Slart, and if i say i downloaded it allrady but don't know how to install it ? got a link?
[09:13] <Mimi> Slart, what tells me how to do it?
[09:13] <Dr_willis> cherva,  you proberly want to put them in your bin dir  ~/bin
[09:13] <Luftzig> sweetsinse: I'm here
[09:13] <Slart> Mimi: nope.. it's a one liner =).. you've downloaded a file called NVIDIAblablabla.RUN.. right?
[09:13] <brizben> bazhang, I have adequate ram, if I decrease it does my computer run faster?

[09:14] <LucasSouza> i am brazilian
[09:14] <LucasSouza> all you work C# ?
[09:14] <brizben> bazhag decrease the swappiness value
[09:14] <Mimi> Slart, What instructions : |
[09:15] <Slart> Mimi: first.. you can't install the driver if gnome is running.. so you have to drop to a shell..you can do that using CTRL+ALT+F1 (don't press that now)
[09:15] <bazhang> brizben you want to make your swap partition smaller? wont have an effect on your system speed
[09:15] <Tommy> how to make no default OS load with grub?
[09:15] <Mimi> Slart, u just stoped me in time XD
[09:15] <brizben> bazhag ok thanks
[09:15] <afancy> hi, does anyone have the document on how to install Oracle 9i on Ubuntu?
[09:15] <bazhang> tommy what are you trying to achieve
[09:15] <Slart> Mimi: you'll get a black console screen with a login prompt.. login with your regular username and password
[09:16] <kl3pt0> i need some help
[09:16] <Mimi> Slart, yup
[09:16] <bazhang> as do we all ;]
[09:16] <kl3pt0> haha
[09:16] <Dr_willis> Tommy,  you can set the grub menu time out to be 0 abnd it will wait forever.
[09:16] <Slart> Mimi: then type this "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" it will stop gnome, X and such.. so you're stuck in console land for a while
[09:16] <Tommy> ok, that should work
[09:17] <Tommy> just wait forever so i can always choose the OS
[09:17] <Slart> Mimi: then you install the drive.. "sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run"
[09:17] <Mimi> Slart, does the driver need to be in a place to work or is the desktop fine?
[09:17] <Slart> Mimi: it will take a while.. it will compile a kernel interface and install libraries.. you want the opengl 32 bit libraries.. but you do not have to let it update your xorg.conf file.. it's already set to use the nvidia driver)
[09:18] <kl3pt0> i need ot know how to install a .osi file
[09:18] <kl3pt0> to^^
[09:18] <Slart> Mimi: desktop is fine.. but you'll have to do "cd Desktop" first to find it
[09:18] <Dr_willis> osi? never heard of a .osi
[09:18] <ghost> what is the command to deliete folder?

[09:18] <Starnestommy> rm -rf
[09:18] <Mimi> Slart, if it doesn't work does the computer blow up?
[09:18] <ghost> rm -rls
[09:19] <ghost> sweet thanks
[09:19] <redmonkey> rm -rf (r=recursive, f=force)
[09:19] <Slart> Mimi: after the install is complete you simple restart gnome by doing "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm/start" and you should get back to your login prompt
[09:19] <Mimi> Slart, sounds hard...
[09:20] <Slart> Mimi: hmm.. no.. no explosions.. no fire.. if it doesn't work you'll probably end up with a computer that can't start x.. it might go into that safe mode
[09:20] <Mimi> Slart, so the new driver will slow down the Fan by itself?
[09:21] <Slart> Mimi: yes
[09:21] <Slart> Mimi: it was a bug in that driver version
[09:21] <redmonkey> Slart: in what diver version?
[09:21] <Mimi> Slart, now i need 2 make some notes or i will be stuck in black screen land...
[09:21] <Slart> Mimi: if you can live with the nvclock stuff for a while they might backport the newer driver into the repos and you'll get it automacially
[09:22] <ghost> anyone have experience getting Arcanum to run under wine?
[09:22] <Slart> Mimi: indeed.. notes are good

I was given a solution, a how to, but it really wasn't helpful as it just talked about commands but nothing to do with the actual installation of 7.10 ubuntu. Help?
[09:25] <Slart> redmonkey: unless something really weird has happened since I last checked the current one from nvidias site works nicely.. they updated it
[09:25] <Slart> or wait.. just checked the site.. current one is 169.07..
[09:26] <Slart> something has happened since I last checked.. my bad
[09:26] <lllsondowlll> Any ideas on solving my problem?
[09:27] <Slart> Mimi: where did you get your file? I see only 169.07 on the nvidia site now
[09:27] <DTealc> Xubuntu 7.10, internet working in Firefox, but Update Manager gets stuck on "Downloading package information", not even getting the first thing - any ideas?
[09:28] <gold44> how to erase cdrw disk?
[09:28] <lllsondowlll> lol
[09:28] <gold44> i don't see the disk on my desktop
[09:28] <lllsondowlll> hello?
[09:28] <Slart> redmonkey: here's the release announcement.. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=a0b7c071bf08bc3750eea873f50f764d&t=106661 don't know perhaps I downloaded it from those links..
[09:29] <sleepster> anyone know what's the best firewall app for linux?
[09:29] <lllsondowlll> Still having problems, I came here earlier looking for a solution on installing my ubuntu 7.10 because I got graphic errors in both install and graphic safe mod with my nvidia geforece fx 5500. During the install I get sound but the video is highly corrupted. I was given a solution, a how to, but it really wasn't helpful as it just talked about commands but nothing to do with the actual installation of 7.10 ubuntu. Helo?
[09:29] <Mimi> Slart, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.09.html
[09:29] <bazhang> lllsondowlll: and you tried the alternate cd?
[09:29] <Slart> sleepster: iptables of course
[09:29] <lllsondowlll> I just checked the link I was sent
[09:29] <lllsondowlll> what is the alternate cd involve?
[09:30] <Mimi> Slart, sorry was taking notes XD
[09:30] <sleepster> Slart: thanks
[09:30] <lllsondowlll> whats the difference and whats it do?
[09:30] <sleepster> Slart: I hear a lot about shorewall
[09:30] <Mimi> Slart, Is that Driver ok?
[09:30] <stupidknight> hey people. a question, I'm new to linux and all of the respects. I recently got a virtual private server to approach a "try and fail, hopefully learn". Anyway, all of the packages up till now I've installed using apt-get tool, which is easy and fun because it does it all automatically. But now I want install a package that I've downloaded myself. My question is, where should I put it? it's a regular tar.gz compression.
[09:30] <Slart> sleepster: I think shorewall might just be a gui for iptables.. not sure though
[09:30] <Slart> !firewall
[09:30] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[09:30] <bazhang> lllsondowlll: can you scroll up or should I just repeat what I said earlier
[09:31] <lllsondowlll> Oh
[09:31] <Slart> Mimi: I use the 169.09.. has been using it for several weeks now.. works fine for me
[09:31] <lllsondowlll> I didn't see it I guess
[09:31] <bazhang> heh
[09:31] <lllsondowlll> What am I looking for?
[09:31] <lllsondowlll> I read something about installation alternate cd
[09:31] <Mimi> Slart, Ok i try it now :P Wish me luck XD
[09:31] <Slart> Mimi: good luck
[09:31] <Mimi> Slart, Cya hun
[09:32] <Roshan> Hello, anyone know how i can install nvidia drivers for my 8600gts card on ubuntu?
[09:32] <lllsondowlll> join the club of nvidia hell
[09:32] <DTealc> Xubuntu 7.10, internet working in Firefox, but Update Manager gets stuck on "Downloading package information", not even getting the first thing - any ideas? - only using archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ with gutsy, gutsy-updates, and gutsy-security.
[09:33] <bazhang> !nvidia | Roshan
[09:33] <ubotu> Roshan: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:33] <Kaja> DTealc, using proxy in Firefox?
[09:33] <DTealc> not that I know of - will check
[09:33] <Roshan> okm thanks ubotu
[09:34] <Roshan> Im just an hour old on ubuntu so I dont know much at all :)
[09:34] <lllsondowlll> one moment
[09:34] <lllsondowlll> I will be right back.
[09:34] <lllsondowlll> If anyone could give me the easist tut possible it would be great
[09:34] <lllsondowlll> for install with nvidia
[09:34] <bazhang> see above lllsondowlll
[09:35] <Ce_MiO_PuTiH__> hai
[09:35] <DTealc> Kaja, I am not using any proxy in Firefox - "direct connection to internet"
[09:35] <Kaja> ok
[09:35] <mwang> hi, i am new to ubuntu and linux, and i have a problem.
[09:35] <lllsondowlll> if its the link to the how to
[09:35] <Ce_MiO_PuTiH__> hai
[09:35] <lllsondowlll> it really didn't help me much
[09:35] <Stevethepirate> !ask > mwang
[09:35] <lllsondowlll> it was terminal commands I really don't know how to use terminal commands in the install cd
[09:36] <nano__> I'm having some "lag" with GL Desktop.....I get "blotches" and stuff.....has anybody experienced anything of this sort?
[09:36] <mwang> i need to create a broadband connection but i don't know how.
[09:37] <tonyyarusso> mwang: What do you mean?
[09:37] <mwang> i can't create a new connection.
[09:37] <Dupasax> bazhang: there was problem in partition size
[09:37] <Ce_MiO_PuTiH__> hai
[09:37] <bazhang> Dupasax: aha
[09:37] <DTealc> Xubuntu 7.10, internet works in Firefox, not using proxy, but Update Manager can not update - only using archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ - any ideas?
[09:37] <tonyyarusso> mwang: just plug in the cable.
[09:38] <lllsondowlll> Any other solutions rather then the how to?
[09:38] <tonyyarusso> DTealc: try visiting http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ in your browser.
[09:38] <stupidknight> hey people. a question, I'm new to linux and all of the respects. I recently got a virtual private server to approach a "try and fail, hopefully learn". Anyway, all of the packages up till now I've installed using apt-get tool, which is easy and fun because it does it all automatically. But now I want install a package that I've downloaded myself. My question is, where should I put it? it's a regular tar.gz compression.
[09:38] <Dupasax> bazhang: i did not know that "/boot" is that big ;p
[09:38] <Slart> stupidknight: you've probably downloaded the source of something.. you'll have to compile it
[09:38] <bazhang> hehe
[09:39] <Slart> !compile | stupidknight
[09:39] <tonyyarusso> stupidknight: Either /opt or /usr/local are usual recommendations.  What package?
[09:39] <ubotu> stupidknight: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[09:39] <mwang> i have a PPoE connection tonyyarusso.
[09:39] <tonyyarusso> !pppoe | mwang
[09:39] <ubotu> mwang: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[09:39] <stupidknight> tonyyarusso: ventrilo server...
[09:39] <DTealc> tonyyarusso: works fine in browser
[09:39] <mwang> thanks.
[09:39] <Dupasax> bazhang: how big is Yours /boot folder?
[09:40] <Dupasax> bazhang: i`m thinking to move it on new partition
[09:40] <stupidknight> tonyyarusso: no compilation or whatever, but I just want to put it in a logical place :)
[09:40] <tonyyarusso> stupidknight: Yeah, /opt is probably a good choice.
[09:40] <DTealc> !update | dtealc
[09:40] <CVD-PR> if i buy a mac im gonna be a better designer?
[09:40] <stupidknight> tonyyarusso: nice, thank you...
[09:41] <Mimi> Slart, Still hir?
[09:41] <Slart> Mimi: yup
[09:41] <Slart> Mimi: did it work?
[09:41] <sleepster> I have a network problem.. I created a router using ubuntu.. I setup my DHCP server, so now all the machines on the network grab an IP, but they are still unable to resolve any domain names.. would anyone know what I could be doing (or a tutorial) on what is happening
[09:41] <Mimi> Slart, No more noice :)
[09:41] <Slart> Mimi: ah.. nice
[09:41] <tonyyarusso> DTealc: Try navigating down to a level with individual files, and see if wget works.
[09:41] <twocs> stupidknight: it will compile to the /src folder, no?
[09:41] <bazhang> Dupasax: around 7gb for / the rest for /home/me
[09:42] <lllsondowlll> Anyone found a solution to my problem yet?
[09:42] <Dupasax> bazhang: can You check for me size of Your boot folder?
[09:42] <Mimi> Slart, can i ask u 1more question?
[09:42] <Slart> Mimi: a short one.. as I have to run soon
[09:42] <stupidknight> twocs:  actually, it's de-compress from .tar.gz and run :)
[09:43] <Mimi> Slart, If i press to many backspace my computer beeps how can i stop that?
[09:43] <bazhang> Dupasax: around 50MB
[09:43] <nano__> does everybody who uses Compiz use it with Xgl or has anybody ever tried using Compiz with X.org
[09:43] <Dupasax> bazhang: thanks
[09:43] <bazhang> np
[09:43] <tonyyarusso> !alternate | lllsondowlll
[09:43] <ubotu> lllsondowlll: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.  Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal
[09:43] <Dupasax> bazhang: do You have actual kernel?
[09:43] <tonyyarusso> nano__: Most use it with Xorg/aiglx now.
[09:43] <bazhang> Dupasax: hard to run without one ;]
[09:43] <Slart> Mimi: look inside your computer case.. kill the speaker that's in there... =)... there might be a way of disabling it from the software side but I haven't found it.. I want to disable that one too
[09:44] <lllsondowlll> Ok
[09:44] <lllsondowlll> I will try
[09:44] <jabez> hello everyone! :)
[09:44] <Dupasax> bazhang: i mean newest ;)
[09:44] <lllsondowlll> do i just run the cd
[09:44] <lllsondowlll> or is there anything extra
[09:44] <lllsondowlll> I need to do?
[09:44] <Ce_MiO_PuTiH__> hai
[09:44] <Trel> Mini: Click System, Preferences, Sound, System Beep tab, uncheck "Enable system beep"
[09:44] <Mimi> Slart, Good idear but its on the big Bord inside the case "Hammer" may kill the bord...
[09:44] <Tiina> My network went down completely since trying Deluge as bittorrent-program..where could I start looking for a fault?
[09:45] <bazhang> Dupasax: yesh if you mean 2.6.22-14-generic ;]
[09:45] <Trel> That should be called "Rip system beep out of case"
[09:45] <redmonkey> how much better(faster?) is the current nvidia driver (169.09) compared to the one from the ubuntu repositories (100.14.19) ?
[09:45] <tonyyarusso> lllsondowlll: Follow the instructions - pretty straightforwards
[09:45] <tonyyarusso> -s
[09:45] <nano__> tonyyaruss: To run compiz with X.org , a person needs to install GL-Desktop
[09:45] <nano__> is the same thing true with xgl
[09:45] <lllsondowlll> the instructions from the howto?
[09:45] <tonyyarusso> nano__: Um, since when?
[09:45] <Slart> Mimi: oh..  try Trel's advice.. sounds much more civilized =)
[09:45] <Mimi> Hehe
[09:45] <nano__> tonyyaruss: that is how it has always been
[09:45] <Trel> I find ripping annoying hardware much more satisfying, but that method is much less likely to result in dead hardware.
[09:45] <Mimi> Slart, Thank you for ur help :) <3
[09:45] <Dupasax> bazhang: there are`nt newer?
[09:46] <nano__> compiz requires accelerated GL functionality
[09:46] <DTealc_> tonyyarusso: browsing to lower directory works fine, but I dont know how to use wget
[09:46] <Slart> Mimi: you're welcome
[09:46] <bazhang> Dupasax: then we would be in hardy channel #ubuntu+1 ;]
[09:46] <gold44> how to tell totem not to start when i pop in cdrom?
[09:46] <jabez> need an advice here, which iso image should i download for  ntel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7700?
[09:47] <bazhang> jabez how much ram?
[09:47] <Mimi> Trel, Thank you aswell it worked :P
[09:47] <jabez>  	 2048 MB 667 MHz Dual-Channel DDR2 SDRAM bazhang
[09:47] <nano__> Tonyyarusso: what is xorg-aiglx
[09:47] <Trel> jabez: You can use i386 or AMD64 with that chipset. I find running 64bit quite satisfying from a smug elitist point of view, but practically i386 might be a better option.
[09:48] <bazhang> jabez then the 32 bit should be ok--unless you want to use 4GB or more of ram or have heavy video compositing to do
[09:48] <Dupasax> jabez: for 64bit thare are smaller list of programs
[09:48] <bazhang> Trel: haha
[09:48] <jabez> i see.. THANKS A LOT BAZHANG AND TREL! :D
[09:48] <Starnestommy> Dupasax: only a bit smaller
[09:48] <tonyyarusso> nano__: I've never heard of that package being needed...
[09:49] <tonyyarusso> DTealc_: 'wget URL'
[09:49] <bazhang> np
[09:49] <Mimi> Is there a Program like Limewire for linux?
[09:49] <bazhang> gtk-gnutella mimi
[09:49] <Dupasax> Starnestommy: do You have 64bit??
[09:49] <Starnestommy> Dupasax: yes
[09:49] <nerdsquad3210> how do install ubuntu to usb drive ?
[09:50] <Dupasax> Starnestommy: do You feel difference between 32 and 6?$
[09:50] <Dupasax> 64*
[09:50] <Mimi> bazhang, thank you :)
[09:50] <bazhang> www.pendrivelinux.com has the answers nerdsquad3210
[09:50] <Trel> Dupasax: All three of my hardy systems are Core 2 Duo or AMD equivalent. The only thing that is a pain the.. body part is flash.
[09:50] <bazhang> np
[09:50] <tonyyarusso> !frostwire | Mimi
[09:50] <ubotu> Mimi: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[09:50] <Starnestommy> Dupasax: I've never used the 32-bit version of 7.10
[09:51] <afancy> Hi, I met a problem. Does anyone help me?
[09:51] <tonyyarusso> Mimi: although gtk-gnutella is probably preferable, just less similar.
[09:51] <afancy> afancy@ubuntu:/etc$ ls -l sudoers
[09:51] <DTealc_> tonyyarusso:(and everyone) I restarted and updating works now although at around 20kB/s - should be able to get around 150kB/s - any ideas?
[09:51] <afancy> -r--r---w- 1 root root 496 2008-02-17 02:07 sudoers
[09:51] <Mimi> Thankx Bot!
[09:51] <afancy> afancy@ubuntu:/etc$ sudo chmod 0440 sudoers
[09:51] <afancy> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0442, should be 0440
[09:51] <afancy>   
[09:51] <FloodBot2> afancy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:51] <cens0red> jeez firefox is getting soooo slooooow
[09:51] <Dupasax> Starnestommy: i`m actually on 32 ;)
[09:51] <Ce_MiO_PuTiH__> sss
[09:51] <tonyyarusso> DTealc_: Only if you changed a setting since your last boot.
[09:51] <nano__> tonyyarusso: perhaps I was incorrect, in order to run compiz on Xorg, Accelerated Indirect Glx is needed
[09:51] <afancy> OK
[09:51] <tonyyarusso> nano__: right - aiglx.
[09:51] <tonyyarusso> nano__: dependent on video drivers
[09:52] <nano__> what do you mean?
[09:52] <Trel> Since the Hardy room is likely as dead as the original creative ideas department at Microsoft, does anyone know of an update on EXA acceleration for Intel integrated video out in GIT or similar?
[09:52] <tonyyarusso> nano__: Meaning that if you have junky drivers like I do, you can't do it.  If you have a supported card, it will work out of the box.
[09:53] <nano__> tonyyarusso: what will work out of the box, compiz..?
[09:53] <tonyyarusso> Trel: The Hardy channel is slow, but the only place for those questions.  Just be very patient.
[09:53] <tonyyarusso> nano__: yes.
[09:53] <DTealc_> tonyyarusso: i must have changed au.archive.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com since last boot before the one I just did, but downloading the updates should be around 150kB/s like everything else is, but I am only getting around 20kB/s
[09:53] <cens0red> a celeron 2800 with 1Ghz of RAM should be fast enough shouldn't it? I shouldn't be getting all these desktop freezes when I run the browser should I?
[09:53] <afancy> Hi, can anyone help me on this problem? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56333/
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> DTealc_: that might be a limitation of the mirror, or the various hops between you and it.
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> cens0red: probably a video issue rather than computing power.
[09:54] <afancy> I have changed the sudoers permission. But now I cannot change it back
[09:54] <Trel> cens0red: Which version of Ubuntu are you running, which version of Firefox, which graphics drivers and chipsets, and have you installed anything other than the generic kernel?
[09:54] <nano__> tonyyarusso: so bascially im running compiz and its a little rusty, i get square blotches that briefly appear when i open windows and stuff.....could this because my nvidia 6150 card is not good enough and i need to install aigx?
[09:54] <Starnestommy> afancy: you might need to do it in recovery mode
[09:54] <Roshan> can anyone tell me how do I install drivers for my nvidia 8600gts on ubuntu 7.10?
[09:54] <afancy> ok
[09:55] <redmonkey> how much better(faster?) is the current nvidia driver (169.09) compared to the one from the ubuntu repositories (100.14.19) ?
[09:55] <DTealc_> tonyyarusso: is there a way to test general speed in firefox so I can know if its a mirror limitation or my connection?
[09:55] <tonyyarusso> afancy: hmm, first shot, try sudo -i, and then do it; see if that's any different.
[09:55] <tonyyarusso> DTealc_: speedtest.net perhaps
[09:55] <Trel> DTealc: www.speakeasy.net has a speed test based on Flash that might be helpful.
[09:55] <DTealc_> thanks - will try both
[09:56] <cens0red> Trel (1) ubuntu 7.10, ffox 2.0.0.12, nvidia geforce 4000 128 meg with proprietry drivers, (4) kernel 2.6.22-14-rt
[09:56] <tonyyarusso> cens0red: -rt?
[09:56] <bazhang> ubuntustudio cens0red?
[09:56] <Mimi> Roshan, have u downloaded the driver?
[09:56] <cens0red> bazhang tonyyarusso yup. rt kernel, ubuntustudio.
[09:57] <tonyyarusso> oh
[09:57] <Roshan> mimi: no
[09:57] <Mimi> Roshan, 6800GTU? it was?
[09:57] <Roshan> I've only just finished installing linux for the first time, and it was 8600gts
[09:57] <detective> Vida black
[09:57] <cens0red> there's a problem with the rt kernel?
[09:58] <foo> How can I have my "xset r off" setting saved when I restart my system?
[09:58] <tonyyarusso> cens0red: No, I just didn't know ubuntustudio used it, and was surprised.
[09:58] <Mimi> Roshan, k np give me 1sec
[09:58] <icesword> does jeos  has gcc inside
[09:58] <tonyyarusso> cens0red: Honestly, that list looks good to me, but maybe someone else knows something I don't.
[09:58] <viktorious> hi where can i find emerald themes
[09:58] <bazhang> icesword: geos? is that the ubuntu-based distro?
[09:58] <nano__> join #compiz@irc.freenode.net
[09:58] <DTealc_> tonyyarusso, trel: I dont have flash installed yet, and so it could take a while to download at 20kB/s - any other methods to test speed?
[09:59] <cens0red> tonyyarusso one month ago today, i was in a different city, using the same hard drive plugged into somebody else's computer. Their system was slightly better, but I was still getting the odd browser freeze.
[09:59] <icesword> bazhang, i said just enough operating system
[09:59] <tonyyarusso> bazhang: jeos - just enough operating system.  Super-minimal disk for virtualized environments (official from Canonical)
[09:59] <bazhang> aha thanks tonyyarusso
[09:59] <icesword> !jeos
[09:59] <ubotu> JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System.  It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information.
[09:59] <Mimi> Roshan, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.09.html
[09:59] <Roshan> Mimi: where could I download the driver from?
[09:59]  * cens0red thinks firefox is turning into bloatware, and must be punished.
[09:59] <tonyyarusso> DTealc_: There's a tool for comparing mirror speeds, but I can't remember the name right now.
[09:59] <bazhang> nice
[09:59] <Mimi> Roshan, download that one
[09:59] <Trel> Hm
[10:00] <st01k> hey all!  i just installed ubuntu 7.10 Server.  on first and all subsequent boots i get stuck at "running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)"... can anyone help?
[10:00] <Trel> Why don't you just use the Best Server option?
[10:00] <icesword> bazhang, does it have gcc
[10:00] <bazhang> if not install build-essential icesword
[10:00] <tonyyarusso> st01k: Sitting at a computer next to it right now?
[10:00] <LeAstrale> hi ppl
[10:00] <st01k> tony, yes
[10:00] <tonyyarusso> st01k: Press Enter/Return.
[10:01] <st01k> login prompt
[10:01] <Trel> System, Administration, Software Sources, click beside Download from, click other, click Select Best Server
[10:01] <Mimi> Roshan, are u downloading it?
[10:01] <tonyyarusso> st01k: :)  (known bug)
[10:01] <diegosouza> tonyyarusso, netselect is the tool
[10:01] <icesword> anyone knows :does jeos has gcc
[10:01] <tonyyarusso> diegosouza: that's the one
[10:01] <diegosouza> tonyyarusso, yes  :-)
[10:01] <st01k> tony. i can login as user...not root
[10:01] <tonyyarusso> !root | st01k
[10:01] <ubotu> st01k: 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
[10:02] <tonyyarusso> st01k: You will never log in as root on an Ubuntu machine.

[10:02] <ubotu> Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[10:02] <Roshan> Mimi: sorry I lagged out
[10:02] <Stevethepirate> ubotu: rofl
[10:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rofl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[10:06] <freepenguin> could somebody suggest me a compiler for assembler language on ubuntu?
[10:06] <zeeb> what is a good usenet binary client for ubuntu?
[10:06] <st01k> tony: that was the only user i created during install

[10:08] <prince_jammys> Roshan: and ctrl alt f7 to come back
[10:08] <Roshan> mimi, yeah np
[10:08] <icesword> !jeos | Dr_willis
[10:08] <ubotu> Dr_willis: JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System.  It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information.
[10:09] <Filled-Void> Is frostwire the best alternative for Limewire in Ubuntu?
[10:09] <Tatem_> asdf
[10:09] <Dr_willis> icesword,  you could always install it - i tuess
[10:09] <Roshan> mimi, ok. next step
[10:09] <Dr_willis> Filled-Void,  if you want one thjats identical to limewire  :)
[10:09] <Mimi> Roshan, 2nd put in sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[10:09] <Filled-Void> Im looking for somethign basic and easy to use from the repositories
[10:09] <redmonkey> how much better(faster?) is the current nvidia driver (169.09) compared to the one from the ubuntu repositories (100.14.19) ?
[10:09] <ghost> hello
[10:09] <Tatem_> Filled-Void, just torrent ;)
[10:09] <tonyyarusso> st01k: bother, that's odd.  I don't know why that would be the case, but here's how to fix it:  Reboot, selecting the "Recovery mode" option.  Once you get to a shell, issue 'adduser yourusername admin'.  Reboot normally.
[10:09] <ghost> does anyone know a fast way I can turn on and off the desktop effects?
[10:09] <ce_baex_> Ce_GenEs
[10:10] <ghost> perhaps a link to a howto to make a script to turn it on n off?
[10:10] <prince_jammys> Filled-Void: frostwire IS limewire --- much of the same code, but theyve split up
[10:10] <ce_baex_> cE_Ganes
[10:10] <ghost> I play some games in wine and i think desktop effects causes trouble
[10:10] <Mimi> Roshan, sorry Ros u need to log in before that aswell just ur username and pasword
[10:10] <Roshan> mimi, ok
[10:10] <Filled-Void> prince_jammys, Tatem Dr_willis Thank you . :) I havent used torrents much before though :x
[10:10] <earthian> Hello, how do i reconfigure locales?
[10:10] <Roshan> mimi, sure
[10:11] <Mimi> Roshan, like normal
[10:11] <Roshan> ok
[10:11] <st01k> tony: kewl, will try... brb... thanks
[10:11] <Mimi> Roshan, then u need to go to the desktop Put in " cd Desktop
[10:11] <prince_jammys> Filled-Void: frostwire: like limewire;  nicotine--> soulseek (mostly music albums, downloaded from an individual) amule-->emule,
[10:11] <Roshan> mimi, I didnt get u
[10:12] <Filled-Void> prince_jammys, Thank you that clears my doubt :)
[10:12] <Mimi> Roshan, Because ur file is on the desktop
[10:12] <Roshan> mimi, ah
[10:12] <Mimi> Roshan, U put in "cd Desktop"
[10:12] <Roshan> ok
[10:12] <prince_jammys> Filled-Void: all the clients are extremely similar to the windows counterparts, so use is pretty much the same
[10:12] <Roshan> mimi, ok
[10:13] <Mimi> Roshan, after put in dir
[10:13] <Tyroazard> Agh. Help.
[10:13] <Tyroazard> -.+?
[10:13] <Mimi> Roshan, that will show u the files on ur desktop
[10:13] <Tyroazard> Firefox closes immediately after I open it
[10:13] <Roshan> mimi, what do u mean put in dir?
[10:13] <Tyroazard> Ubuntu 7.10, just updated everything.
[10:14] <Mimi> Roshan, write dir
[10:14] <redmonkey> Mimi: are you new to linux?
[10:14] <st01k> tony: got back -->"the group 'admin' does not exist.
[10:14] <Roshan> mimi, ok (sorry Im a newbie)
[10:14] <Mimi> redmonkey, yes but slart told me how to do it before
[10:15] <Mimi> redmonkey, and i took notes
[10:15] <redmonkey> Mimi, Slart: i'd replace "dir" with "ls"
[10:15] <Mimi> redmonkey, dir works 2 :P
[10:15] <tonyyarusso> st01k: I think something must have broken during the install process.  Presuming that you haven't managed to really do anything yet, it may be worth checking the integrity of the CD you burned and re-trying the install.
[10:16] <Roshan> mimi, ok next step?
[10:16] <eshaase> i have a daemon program thats spawning defunct processes, what would be the best way to debug this issue?
[10:16] <prince_jammys> yes. dir appears to be an alias for ls -- didn't know that -- try dir -l
[10:16] <Mimi> Roshan, u will see the driver name .... and u put sudo sh "driver name "
[10:16] <Trel> eshaase: trace it
[10:16] <redmonkey> Mimi: on ubuntu, yes. but i doubt that it works on all unix-like operating systems
[10:16] <DTealc> tonyyarusso, trel: changed mirror to 'best mirror' which is mirror.aarnet.edu.au, but now am having same problem as before - not downloading at all
[10:17] <Trel> DTealc: Any obvious problems in a traceroute?
[10:17] <Mimi> redmonkey, he is installing ubuntu...
[10:17] <satoy> eshasse: strace -f /path/to/debugee
[10:17] <Roshan> mimi. ok got that
[10:17] <Tyroazard> Uhm..
[10:17] <st01k> tony: ok, thanks for the help
[10:17] <prince_jammys> redmonkey: there it is, do -->    grep dir .bashrc
[10:17]  * Tyroazard waves frantically
[10:17] <Mimi> Roshan, after it will start the install :)
[10:17] <eshaase> Trel: trace it?
[10:17] <tonyyarusso> st01k: sorry for the bad news - good luck
[10:17] <Roshan> mimi, and then Im a happy person?
[10:18] <Trel> eshaase: strace
[10:18] <redmonkey> prince_jammys ?
[10:18] <Trel> Very handy for debugging
[10:18] <Mimi> Roshan, after its finished put in "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[10:18] <st01k> tony: murphy's law ;)
[10:18] <prince_jammys> redmonkey: it's an alias that i didn't know about, the command i pasted shows you the lines in your .bashrc file the create the alias "dir" and invoke "ls"
[10:18] <DTealc> trel: cant get traceroute - wants me to apt-get it which is impossible when I cant get anything from the mirror - but ping works fine
[10:18] <Roshan> mimi, ok
[10:19] <Mimi> Roshan, AND AFter that u sude be happy :P btw i did this 15min ago and it worked for my card *8800GT*
[10:19] <Trel> DTealc: Try pathtrace
[10:19] <redmonkey> prince_jammys: i know what an alias is, but thanks anyway
[10:19] <Mimi> Roshan, but divent driver :P
[10:19] <prince_jammys> heh
[10:19] <Mimi> O my Prince is back!
[10:19] <Roshan> mimi, thanks!!
[10:19] <prince_jammys> then what's the confusion
[10:19] <Roshan> here goes!
[10:20] <Mimi> Roshan, good luck
[10:20] <DTealc> Trel: pathtrace: command not found
[10:20] <Trel> You'd think that Ubuntu would come with a traceroute utility by default.
[10:20] <Tyroazard> Someone? Anyone?
[10:20] <Trel> DTealc: tracepath then?
[10:22] <DTealc> tyroazard: whats the problem?
[10:22] <DTealc> trel: trying that now
[10:22] <eshaase> is there any way to make it such that whenever a fork() system call is made, i can do something?
[10:22] <Roshan> mimi, you there?
[10:22] <Tyroazard> DTealc: Firefox won't start up

[10:25] <Trel> richard: What are you trying to do to the disks?
[10:25] <Somenick-> I see
[10:25] <richard> nothing why
[10:25] <Trel> You're asking for help..?
[10:25] <Mimi> fragged, How about u speak english not tell me D2 ? what the hell is that!
[10:25] <Darkmystere> How to make ATI Render OpenGL?
[10:26] <fragged> Diablo 2, :D
[10:26] <prince_jammys> Somenick-: most people here use gnome is my guess ... try both.  i use kde
[10:26] <ghost> I would like an application to take a 800x600 sized application expanded to larger
[10:26] <Mimi> fragged, stoneage?
[10:26] <elbermungsterses> hi, i need help to specially configure my PPPoE connection to use my wireless card.
[10:26] <ghost> I am running on a 1440x800 desktop and I have an app that only displays at 800x600
[10:26] <richard>  i have two EXT 3 one HDA1 and HDA2 and two swap HDA5 and HDA 6 is it normal
[10:26] <Mimi> ghost, Try a new Driver!
[10:26] <ghost> is there a tool or something I can use to zoom in on that 800x600 window and make it larger so i can read the font?
[10:27] <ghost> Mimi, not that kind of problem
[10:27] <richard> because my pc restart and i shut it down
[10:27] <loa> hey=) i make sound after hibernate XD
[10:27] <ghost> my desktop is large, a specific app will only run windowed at 800x600
[10:27] <Mimi> fragged, Know how to make wc3 to work on it?
[10:27] <loa> Now i didn't disapear after hibernate)
[10:27] <DTealc> trel: it just says "1: [my pc name].local (10.1.1.7) 0.298ms pmtu 1500" then every other line is "#: no reply" with "#" being 1 then 2 then 3, up to 31, then "too many hops: pmtu 1500" then "resume: pmtu 1500", and thats it
[10:27] <Trel> That sounds unusual.
[10:27] <ghost> AND since I have a 8:3 desktop (1440x900) i can not set my desktop rez to 800x600 without serious stretching
[10:28] <prince_jammys> Somenick-: you can have both installed
[10:28] <Trel> DTealc: Does your ISP block traceroutes or anything unusual?
[10:28] <richard> well it seem that no one can help
[10:28] <Trel> DTealc: Behind a proxy or firewall?
[10:28] <Trel> richard: Disk layout can vary.
[10:28] <richard> ok but is it normal that it restart when i shut it down
[10:29] <Trel> richard: That does sound unusual.
[10:29] <DTealc> trel: I have no idea if they block any of that stuff, but its an Australian ISP so I wouldnt put it past them - my router doesnt use a proxy or firewall as far as I know.
[10:29] <Roshan> mimi, or redmonkey: I tried installing the nvidia driver but just when it was starting a message saying something like "Please install your distributors libc development package' came

[10:30] <Jado`> anyone for help ?
[10:30] <elbermungsterses> yes Jado
[10:30] <Tyroazard> Epiphany says a html file in ubuntu-artwork is missing, could that be why firefox won't start? Since the start page for Firefox is still the default ubuntu one.
[10:30] <DTealc> elbermungsterses: do you actually need to configure it, or you just want it to use it
[10:31] <Roshan> I am having a problem installing my nvidia drivers, can anybody help?
[10:31] <ghost> Is it possible to have 2 x servers running at once?
[10:31] <richard> well i will try my luck with google search
[10:31] <redmonkey> Roshan: you need the following packages: build-essential
[10:31] <elbermungsterses> i need to configure it.
[10:31] <Tyroazard> Could someone DCC over index-c.html?
[10:31] <redmonkey> Roshan: xserver-xorg-dev  and  libc6-i386
[10:31] <Roshan> redmonkey, christ, that sounds scary
[10:31] <Jado`> elbermungsterses
[10:32] <Jado`> i have problem when installing broadcom 43xx
[10:32] <Tyroazard> ubuntu-artwork/home/locales
[10:32] <prince_jammys> Somenick-: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ... when you first do it your menus will have a ton of stuff . you can then edit the K menu and the gnome menu so you can have whatever you want in each
[10:32] <Jado`> it doesn't work
[10:32] <Roshan> redmonkey, where do I get them?
[10:32] <redmonkey> Roshan: install them with apt-get install
[10:32] <TerrorBite> Hi, I have Ubuntu on an EeePC and I'm trying to get the video to wwork
[10:32] <TerrorBite> -w
[10:32] <DTealc> elbermungsterses: then i have no idea - sorry
[10:32] <matholum> hello everyone, anyone have experience with wx.net?
[10:32] <Roshan> redmonkey, what is that?
[10:32] <redmonkey> Roshan: just type  sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:33] <Roshan> red, ok
[10:33] <DTealc> TerrorBite: I am using Xubuntu (eeeXubuntu) on an EeePC, and it works fine - are you using Ubuntu or eeeXubuntu?
[10:33] <Somenick-> prince_jammys oh! thanks buddy, I will enjoy this, be sure hehehe
[10:33] <elbermungsterses> Jado, i live in china and i recently signed up for a wireless internet service and they gave me a DSL/wireless router in one.
[10:33] <prince_jammys> Somenick-: i did it the other way around, started with gnome, ended up with kde
[10:34] <TerrorBite> DTealc: Ubuntu, I've never heard of eeeXubuntu, which I assume is Xandros-based
[10:34] <Mimi> Roshan, still hir?
[10:34] <Somenick-> prince_jammys KDE have a more, friendly interface (I think it)
[10:34] <DTealc> TerrorBite: No, eeeXubuntu is just Xubuntu with some small modifications for the EeePC
[10:34] <Roshan> mimi, yes
[10:35] <elbermungsterses> the problem is, every time i need to connect to the internet i need to use PPPoE, even with wireless.
[10:35] <redmonkey> Roshan: and after that, type  sudo apt-get install libc6-i386
[10:35] <Roshan> I just typed that and it is installing
[10:35] <Mimi> Roshan, wow sucks then u start it but the ping goes down after 5min
[10:35] <TerrorBite> DTealc, that sounds good, can I apt-get it or would I have to reinstall?
[10:35] <Roshan> mimi, good to know
[10:35] <Jado`> no one knows how to install broadcom 43xx ?
[10:35] <gnuskool> got a problem with chs 7lba mismatches on a usb mp3 player, what can i use to sort this?
[10:35] <Mimi> Roshan, started 23000 after 5min is 1750 and still droping
[10:35] <Roshan> redmonkey, anything else after that?
[10:35] <TerrorBite> DTealc, since I haven't got the front mic, the webcam, or the wireless working despite following a howto
[10:35] <elbermungsterses> so i need to configure a PPPoE connection that uses my wireless card.
[10:35] <prince_jammys> Somenick-: kde just has more extra stuff -- configure this, configure that ... open a terminal in the text editor, open  a terminal in the browser ... some people don't like all the features
[10:36] <gnuskool> got a problem with chs - lba mismatches on a usb mp3 player, what can i use to sort this?
[10:36] <DTealc> TerrorBite: I dont think you can apt-get it - take a look at http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:home -
[10:36] <redmonkey> Roshan: now try again to rum the NVIDIA installed
[10:36] <Mimi> Roshan, and i get 149fps :P
[10:36] <redmonkey> *run
[10:36] <elbermungsterses> any clues Jado?
[10:36] <DTealc> TerrorBite: and I havent tested the mic or webcam, but the wireless seems to work fine under eeeXubuntu
[10:36] <Jado`> i tried to install "restricted drivers" but it didn't work
[10:37] <gnuskool> is there a way to have the disk geometry automatically recovered or do i have to manually put it in
[10:37] <Somenick-> I got, prince_jammys, if I would create a server, I certainly would use gnome. But for my desktop, I still prefer all of those stuff
[10:38] <prince_jammys> Somenick-: yeah i like it
[10:38] <prince_jammys> Somenick-: do you do terminal stuff or mostly gui?
[10:39] <prince_jammys> Somenick-: try    "yakuake" if you don't already have it
[10:39] <Roshan> redmonkey, error while installing build assential
[10:39] <Somenick-> Almost every time that I spend here is on terminal
[10:39] <redmonkey> Roshan: build-essential
[10:39] <Somenick-> Yakuake? hm, i'll try
[10:39] <Roshan> red, it asked for my ubuntu cd, then said there was some archive error
[10:39] <prince_jammys> Somenick-: sudo apt-get install yakuake <------ love it
[10:40] <Roshan> red, ya i meant that
[10:40] <toumou> gtk-window-decorator gtk-window-decorator: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager.
[10:40] <xnitex> wow my install of leopard crashed
[10:40] <toumou> its my message erreur
[10:40] <xnitex> just now
[10:40] <xnitex> :\
[10:40] <Somenick-> At this time, i'm using another distro, but no my ubuntu, i'll test hehehe
[10:40] <xnitex> brb
[10:41] <Somenick-> prince_jammys I'm having alot of problems with configure scripts "cannot comput sizeof...", you know what lib could be missing?
[10:41] <Roshan> red, it said unable to fetch some archives after it prompted me for a cd
[10:41] <redmonkey> Roshan: what kind of error? what does it say
[10:41] <TerrorBite> DTealc, do you know if eeeXubuntu requires special repositories?
[10:41] <prince_jammys> Somenick-: no, sorry
[10:41] <Somenick-> prince_jammys: thanks anyway
[10:42] <TerrorBite> Or can I use the standard repositories at mirror.aarnet.edu.au? I use a university connextion
[10:42] <Somenick-> I'm getting crazy with this, hehe
[10:42] <DTealc> TerrorBite: I think that will work fine - doesnt work for me right now, but thats not a eeeXubuntu problem
[10:42] <TerrorBite> ah okay
[10:43] <redmonkey> Roshan: sounds like you've got a problem with your sources.list
[10:43] <Roshan> redmonkey, can it be solved?
[10:44] <TerrorBite> DTealc, I can't install it immediately, do you know how easy it would be to get a standard Ubuntu Gutsy install working?
[10:44] <DTealc> TerrorBite: without using eeeXubuntu - No idea, as I have never tried.
[10:44] <redmonkey> Roshan: sure, but you better ask someone else.. because unfortunately i have to go now (lunch)
[10:44] <TerrorBite> DTealc, okay then
[10:45] <Roshan> red, me too. when will u log back on?
[10:45] <DTealc> got to go now
[10:45] <TerrorBite> If anyone else has had experience with Ubuntu and the EeePC, feel free to comment
[10:45] <redmonkey> Roshan: i'm really not sure.. in 1 or 2 hours maybe
[10:46] <_SiLENT_> is there a command to flush all disk cache to disk?
[10:46] <artti> Hi.
[10:47] <Dr_willis>  _SiLENT_  sync - i think
[10:47] <icesword> artti, hi
[10:47] <TerrorBite> Dr_willis, _SiLENT_, "sync" sounds right to me
[10:47] <artti> icesword: still here?
[10:47] <icesword> artti, yeh
[10:47] <artti> icesword: what is time in China
[10:48] <_SiLENT_> hmm is this an integrated command or a program (like I had in windows)
[10:48] <icesword> it is 18:47 here beijing time
[10:48] <linxuz3r> whats up guys
[10:48] <Seveas> the sky
[10:48] <artti> icesword: i woke up about 2 hours ago. Now its 12:48.
[10:48] <Seveas> birds
[10:48] <Seveas> clouds
[10:49] <icesword> artti, why do not u have a good sleep,u are stiillt young
[10:49] <icesword> still
[10:49] <d0nuts>  is it possible to start gnome-terminal with a second tab already open from the command line?
[10:49] <Seveas> d0nuts, I don't think so
[10:50] <Seveas> d0nuts, habg on
[10:50] <Seveas> hang*
[10:50] <artti> icesword: my family was already up. They make too much noise.
[10:50] <icesword> artti, go back to your bed,
[10:50] <Seveas> d0nuts, actually you can. Manpage says to use --tab-with-profile several times
[10:50] <icesword> artti, or get something to eat
[10:50] <d0nuts> cool thanks
[10:51] <Tyroazard> ...
[10:51] <artti> icesword: can't sleep anymore. And outside theres sun.
[10:51] <Tyroazard> I take it everyone else can start up firefox just fine
[10:51] <Tyroazard> ._.
[10:51] <Seveas> Tyroazard, pretty much
[10:51] <Starnestommy> Tyroazard: what happens when you try to run it from the terminal?
[10:51] <artti> icesword: I already eat. Cake, milk...
[10:51] <icesword> artti, hehe
[10:51] <Seveas> Tyroazard, maybe it hates you? Or perhaps your profile is busted or firefox-bin is still running
[10:52] <Tyroazard> Uhm
[10:52] <kcynice> help:my ubuntu refuses to play rmvb media files.There are some errors were paste at "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56339/
[10:52] <Tyroazard> Run from terminal?
[10:52] <Tyroazard> How?
[10:52] <artti> I want to make upgrade for 5.04. But i want to make it fast. So i thought that maybe its possible to delete some useless packages.
[10:52] <jimcooncat> I keep a "kill firefox" button on my panel :-0
[10:52] <Starnestommy> Tyroazard: open a terminal from Applications > Accessories > Terminal then type 'firefox' in that window
[10:52] <Seveas> kcynice, is the w32codecs package installed?
[10:52] <icesword> artti, that kind of food isn't good for me.but u get used to it,i don'like mcdonald sort of thing
[10:53] <Seveas> artti, 5.04 is no longer supported. If you want to upgrade you have to go via 6.06 to 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10
[10:53] <Seveas> artti, iow, a reinstall is possibly faster
[10:53] <artti> Seveas: yesterday in upgraded from 4.10 to 5.04.
[10:53] <icesword> Seveas, his computer is not good .i mean hard ware
[10:54] <ganeshhegd1> how to open an iso image in ubuntu??
[10:54] <Dr_willis> and the winner of most upgrades on a single machine is......
[10:54] <Dr_willis> !iso | ganeshhegd1
[10:54] <ubotu> ganeshhegd1: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[10:54] <Seveas> !iso | ganeshhegd1
[10:54] <Dr_willis> :)
[10:54] <Tyroazard> http://pastebin.com/m13137844
[10:54] <icesword> ubotu will get tired
[10:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about will get tired - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:54] <Seveas> artti, if you're comfortable on the command line, install debfoster, get rid of all gui packages and upgrade the core via the commandline, then install ubuntu-desktop again
[10:54] <kcynice> Seveas:thanks,i will have a try right now.
[10:55] <Seveas> artti, but a reinstall from an ubuntu 7.10 cd will be faster and more reliable
[10:55] <xnitex> updating from 6.10?
[10:55] <xnitex> :O
[10:55] <Seveas> xnitex, neh, 5.04 even :)
[10:55] <artti> Seveas: can't burn cd, can't use floppys, haven't 7.10 install cd
[10:56] <Seveas> artti, http://shipit.ubuntu.com -- order one for free :)
[10:56] <xnitex> is someone putting ubuntu on a microwave yet? :D
[10:56] <xnitex> haha
[10:56] <artti> Seveas: i know, but it takes weeks.
[10:56] <Jado`> hi again, i followed this link http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 but i cannot "make" the file, there are too many errors, i don't know where they came from ; i heard about 'headers' .. ?
[10:57] <erUSUL> Jado`: maybe you need 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)'
[10:57] <Seveas> Jado`, you don't need those instructions. The bcm43xx driver is installed by default
[10:57] <Seveas> Jado`, system -> administration -> restricted drivers
[10:57] <artti> How i unistall GUI?
[10:57] <kcynice> if i should add debian-multimedia.org to my update source-list?
[10:57] <Seveas> Jado`, via that thing you can install the firmware you need
[10:57] <Seveas> kcynice, no.
[10:57] <erUSUL> !medibuntu | kcynice
[10:57] <ubotu> kcynice: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[10:57] <Seveas> kcynice, use medibuntu instead of that
[10:58] <Jado`> Seveas i tried restricted drivers, but i had an error
[10:58] <kcynice> ok
[10:58] <Seveas> Jado`, then solve that error instead of breaking your system more :)
[10:58] <xnitex> could i install every package from the command line? :D
[10:58] <xnitex> and if so, how much hdd space would that consume... hm..
[10:58] <DranDane> Hi. I installed Ubuntu from the liveCD. An error occured and i must install grub manualy. When I execute the grub-install command I receive a Permission denied. How can I start the concole or grub-install with a different user?
[10:58] <Seveas> xnitex, you cannot install all packages in the archive at the same time. Some conflict with each other
[10:58] <Mike1> hey
[10:59] <Seveas> DranDane, sudo grub-install ...
[10:59] <erUSUL> DranDane: sudo whatever_command
[10:59] <Mike1> this error
[10:59] <xnitex> i'd also like to figure out how to set up grub for a quad boot
[10:59] <xnitex> :D
[10:59] <Mike1> File /home/mike/xubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso does not seem to be a valid ISO9660 image
[10:59] <DranDane> What mean sudo ?
[10:59] <Seveas> Mike1, check its md5sum
[10:59] <Seveas> !sudo | DranDane
[10:59] <ubotu> DranDane: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[10:59] <Mike1> Seveas: good idea
[10:59] <Jado`> Seveas
[10:59] <Jado`> "the sofware source for the packable "bcm43xx-fwcutter" is not enabled"
[10:59] <Mike1> Seveas: but i think it will be correct ;)
[10:59] <Jado`> package*
[10:59] <artti> What comes next hoary?
[11:00] <Seveas> Jado`, system -> admin -> software sources. Tick all sources on the first tab
[11:00] <erUSUL> xnitex: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst add the "stanzas" you need there
[11:00] <erUSUL> artti: 5.10 yes a reinstall is better idea me thinks
[11:00] <Seveas> artti, Breezy Badger, Dapper Drake, Edgy Eft, Feisty Fawn, Gutsy Gibbon, Hardy Heron
[11:01] <linux__alien> has anyone tried running User Mode Linux in Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[11:01] <Mike1> Seveas: md5sum is correct
[11:01] <pteague> ok, any idea why i can get the 64bit live cd version to run for over 25 minutes running top with no problems, but the installed 64bit version locks up running top?
[11:01] <DranDane> Thank you
[11:01] <chazco> Is it possible to require a password when using the recovery mode of Gusty?
[11:01] <artti> Seveas: is Breezy supported?
[11:01] <Seveas> chazco, yes but not recommended
[11:01] <Seveas> artti, no
[11:01] <Jado`> Seveas i'm on kubuntu, i can't find it
[11:02] <chazco> Seveas -Why not recommended? Would like the extra security on my laptop
[11:02] <Seveas> Jado`, oh... I don't know kubuntu too much. If nobody knows we can try the commandline way or you can ask in #kubuntu
[11:02] <artti> How i can remove ubuntu desktop to make upgrade faster?
[11:02] <Mike1> "File /home/mike/xubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso does not seem to be a valid ISO9660 image" appears when i try to open my xubuntu image with UCK
[11:02] <Seveas> chazco, if somebody has physical access to your pc you've already lost :)
[11:02] <freepenguin> excuse me: what's the command name of the terminal in Xubuntu?  with xfce I write "gnome-terminal" and with xfce?
[11:02] <Mike1> freepenguin: xterminal
[11:03] <freepenguin> thank oyu
[11:03] <freepenguin> you*
[11:03] <chazco> hmm, still seems like a bad idea
[11:03] <linux__alien> has anyone tried running User Mode Linux in Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[11:03] <Mike1> wow, this channel is really crowded :D
[11:03] <Seveas> !repeat | linux__alien
[11:03] <ubotu> linux__alien: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[11:03] <Mateo95> salut tout le monde
[11:04] <josspyker> chazco: use encryption software
[11:04] <Seveas> !fr | Mateo95
[11:04] <ubotu> Mateo95: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[11:04] <Jado`> Seveas there is nobody on #kubuntu, let's try the command way
[11:04] <chazco> Already am doing
[11:04] <Mateo95> oh sorry
[11:04] <Seveas> Jado`, ok, open the file /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor and paste its contents on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[11:06] <artti> Anyone knows how to remove Ubuntu Desktop, so i can make upgrade faster via terminal?
[11:06] <Mike1> artti: 'aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop'? ;)
[11:06] <DranDane> what is the difference between hda and sda. S for serial?
[11:07] <Mike1> artti: but i dont understand how this should improve anything
[11:07] <Seveas> DranDane, s for scsi, though the sata and recent ata drivers use the scsi layer as well :)
[11:07] <artti> Mikel: then during upgrade and install less packages.
[11:07] <Jado`> Seveas i'm trying to install internet on my computer with linux, so i don't have internet on it
[11:08] <DranDane> My main disk is a sata disk; Is it a problem for grub?
[11:08] <artti> Mikel: And when i'm got to sadisfied Ubuntu version, then i install it back.
[11:08] <Mike1> artti: don't you need the GUI?
[11:08] <Seveas> Jado`, then you also cannot install the needed packages. Can you plug in a wired connection for now?
[11:08] <artti> Mikel: Terminal helps me. I think.
[11:09] <Mike1> artti: you could disable upgrading of 'ubuntu-desktop'
[11:09] <erUSUL> DranDane: i shouldn't be but when i installed gutsy i disconnected my pata disks becouse grub will allways end up missconfigured if they where connected
[11:09] <Mike1> artti: or anything else
[11:09] <Mike1> artti: 'aptitude hold PACKAGE'
[11:10] <artti> Mikel: Disable! That sounds better.
[11:10] <Mike1> artti: and it's hard to browse through the WWW without GUI, so better keep it ;)
[11:11] <artti> Mikel: but Firefox, can't i run it through terminal?
[11:12] <roland_> hello all
[11:12] <roland_> could anyone help me with WINE plz! i installed an exe... but its not working
[11:12] <icesword> roland_, that is not easy.#wine
[11:13] <Mike1> artti: if removal of "ubuntu-desktop" doesn't remove the xserver or firefox...yes ;)
[11:13] <prince_jammys> artti: browse with www-browser, lynx, or elinks to name a few ... i believe www-browser comes preinstalled
[11:13] <Mike1> prince_jammys: but you can't watch images with them ;)
[11:13] <prince_jammys> well heh
[11:13] <chazco> How can I make gk/sudo forget its logged in (ie, make it reprompt)?
[11:14] <artti> prince_jammys: well i have preinstalled Mozilla Firefox
[11:14] <prince_jammys> artti   elinks is the "nicest" probably, in terms of appearance
[11:14] <prince_jammys> artii yes but you cant use firefox in a terminal
[11:15] <Mike1> prince_jammys: couldn't you start it out of a terminal?
[11:15] <prince_jammys> yeah
[11:15] <Mike1> prince_jammys: as long as xserver is installed that should work i think
[11:15] <prince_jammys> ok maube i'm just butting in here, i thought he wanted to browse the internet inside a terminal
[11:15] <Mike1> prince_jammys: at first he just wanted to remove "ubuntu-desktop" ;)
[11:16] <artti> prince_jammys: I can activate Firefox through terminal, without finding it in menu
[11:16] <camilla_> I need to get filesize from a file into my script. How can I do that? Must I use "ls -l $filename" and pipe that to sed? Or is it possible to get the filesize some other way that is easier?
[11:16] <Jado`> Seveas i have problem with the wired connection too, but i can plug a usb device to bring file from the web
[11:17] <prince_jammys> artti Mike1 ok i see youre doing something different from what i thought you wanted.
[11:17] <tasos> first test
[11:17] <Mike1> arghhhh....why does UCK hate my xubuntu image? *cry*
[11:17] <prince_jammys> camilla_: sed seems like overkill, i think ls does this on its own
[11:17] <MC_Lightning> how do i test my soundcard channels? to check if it's all ok
[11:18] <Jado`> Seveas ?
[11:18] <camilla_> prince_jammys: "ls -s $filename" will print it in block size. Not what I want. Does it exist any other switch I can use?
[11:18] <evacchi> hi guys
[11:18] <prince_jammys> camilla_ or if not ls, a different command that extracts file size
[11:18] <MC_Lightning> how do i test my soundcard channels? to check if it's all ok
[11:19] <camilla_> prince_jammys: So what command can that be?
[11:19] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: 'speaker-test -c 6 -D surround51'
[11:19] <MC_Lightning> tks
[11:19] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: for 5.1 sourround
[11:19] <dmakalsky> Hi, I am having this weird problem that when I start up and log in, I get a gnome msg window with the text HAL initialization error
[11:19] <MC_Lightning> yes that's what i want
[11:19] <MC_Lightning> tks
[11:19] <dmakalsky> has anyone seen this before?
[11:19] <prince_jammys> camilla_  try   FILESIZE=$(stat -c%s "$FILENAME")
[11:20] <camilla_> aaa, stat,yes
[11:20] <MC_Lightning> hm it's working..
[11:20] <artti> Maybe for faster upgrade i could remove some applications.
[11:20] <Otacon22> wich is pam headers package?
[11:20] <Mike1> dmakalsky: i think i had the problem with external NTFS harddisks
[11:21] <MC_Lightning> but i still hearing music only from mthe front channels
[11:21] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: because its only stereo ;)
[11:21] <MC_Lightning> yes..
[11:21] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: but it's able to mix it up
[11:21] <dmakalsky> Mike1: everything was working fine for me, but this just started up
[11:21] <MC_Lightning> how can i enable multichannel?
[11:21] <dmakalsky> it's a new error
[11:21] <Dr_willis> MC_Lightning,  for my augiy cards i use the sliders and  have to enable the rear speakers mirrorinf the front. in the alsamixer tool
[11:21] <camilla_> prince_jammys: stat command worked great. Thank you
[11:22] <prince_jammys> camilla_  np
[11:22] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: for single files: 'aplay -D upmix /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav'
[11:22] <camilla> test
[11:22] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: or via the 'playback.pcm "upmix"' option in .asoundrc i think
[11:22] <swim_love> hi guys...
[11:23] <artti> Any ideas how i can make upgrade faster? Removing something? Disableing?
[11:23] <swim_love> I installed gutsy on my Dell INspiron 6000

[11:23] <ahmetkanar> hello

[11:23] <swim_love> but the problem is , I can ping the internet but nothing works on my browser
[11:24] <Mike1> artti: upgrade..i think it depends on number of packages, size of packages, your computer, you internetconnection... ;)
[11:24] <MC_Lightning> hm..
[11:24] <pteague> anybody know if the nvidia drivers work ok on the 64bit version?
[11:24] <MC_Lightning> how do i enable the mirror front channels?
[11:24] <MC_Lightning> to get the same sound to the back?
[11:24] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: what soundcard do you have?
[11:24] <MC_Lightning> (i'm just a bit too noob)
[11:24] <MC_Lightning> sound blaster live 24bit
[11:24] <MC_Lightning> 7.1(pci)

[11:35] <swim_love> this problem is with intel wireless pro card, ipw2200
[11:35] <swim_love> is there some network guru, who can help me
[11:36]  * Mike1 will be right back
[11:37] <MC_Lightning> Mike1: yes..that's everything at 100%
[11:38] <peterlauri> hi all. I am just a migrant from Fedora, and so far I really think Ubuntu feels more professional, looking forward to try it out more :)
[11:39] <nerdsquad3210> rrright
[11:39] <MC_Lightning> where sould i place the *.asoundrc ?
[11:39] <artti> When i want to make upgrade, do i have to make apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade or just apt-get upgrade?
[11:39] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: i guess in your home directory
[11:39] <MC_Lightning> ok..
[11:40] <peterlauri> is there any command to get all hardware specs for the specific machine?
[11:40] <MC_Lightning> and it can be any name i want?
[11:40] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: no
[11:41] <MC_Lightning> so..what name should it be?
[11:41] <MC_Lightning>  The answer to your question is the use of you. Asoundrc word for word in it:
[11:41] <MC_Lightning> it wont say the name..
[11:41] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: name should be ".asoundrc"

[11:42] <swim_love> hi all
[11:42] <dr-raku> hi; i just downloaded ubuntu 7.10 dvd [iso] (torrent) but neither brasero, nor nautilus would burn it to a dvd; they, both, give an error when just about to finalize the burn process (at ~97% when i expect to see the lead-out generation); has this happen to any of you? is this a bug? please, help! thanks
[11:42] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: wiki says: "The .asoundrc file (in your home directory) and /etc/asound.conf (for system-wide settings) are the configuration files for ALSA drivers."
[11:42] <swim_love> I upgrade to gutsy and ever since then, my wireless card stopped working
[11:42] <swim_love> I have the ipw2200 drivers
[11:43] <MC_Lightning> hm..weird..i'm used to windows..where the . is the extension...
[11:43] <MC_Lightning> lol
[11:44] <swim_love> any network guru's point out my dumb mistake
[11:44] <Mike1> MC_Lightning:  a "." makes a file invisible
[11:44] <artti> For upgrading do i have to do apt-get update, apt-get upgrade or just apt-get upgrade?
[11:44] <MC_Lightning> hm..(always learning things)
[11:44] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Playing_stereo_on_surround_sound_setup_%28Howto%29
[11:45] <jimcooncat> MC_Lightning: to clarify, a . as the first character makes the file invisible.
[11:45] <Kaja> artti, it's better to do update before upgrade.. that way you always get the latest packages.
[11:45] <Mike1> MC_Lightning: maybe you should try this or search other articels in that wiki :)
[11:45] <Mike1> artti: and better you only use 'aptitude'
[11:45] <artti> Kaja: i have to make several upgrades. 5.04 to 5.10, then 5.10 to 6.04 and so on
[11:46] <Mike1> artti: i don't think that'll work good...

[11:46] <swim_love> hi Mike1
[11:46] <artti> Mikel: so aptitude update?
[11:46] <MohammadBoozary> Hi All
[11:46] <frold> first time ubuntu/linux desktop user :S
[11:47] <Mike1> Amr_EL_Sharnoby: as far is i know recordmydesktop works fine, usually
[11:47] <Mike1> Amr_EL_Sharnoby: maybe you just have to decrease resolution for better performance
[11:47] <alex2222> hello
[11:47] <Kaja> artti, can't you use the GUI tool update-manager?
[11:47] <alex2222> i have a question

[11:48] <Kaja> artti, then you do apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:48] <aeleon> !ask | alex2222
[11:48] <aeleon> does that work?
[11:48] <ubotu> alex2222: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[11:48] <alex2222> i try su
[11:48] <Mike1> btw: the newer ubuntu-versions suck :)
[11:48] <aeleon> damnit.
[11:48] <LimCore> why is ubuntu crawling with bugs?
[11:48] <Mike1> Kaja: apt-get is obsolete
[11:48] <Roshan> hello, can anyone help me with a problem I am encoutnering while trying to 'sudo apt-get install build essential'. it was failed to fetch cdrom : Ubuntu 7.10-....../libc6.dev-2.6.1-1ubuntu9-i386.deb   has sum mismatch
[11:48] <Mike1> Kaja: aptitude is better
[11:49] <prince_jammys> MohammadBoozary: i don't if it plays *any* format, but mpg123
[11:49] <vicho-bg> alex2222: "sudo -i " is the command for gaining root rights in terminal
[11:49] <Kaja> Mike1, give me one reason...
[11:49] <artti> Mikel: so aptitude update and then aptitude upgrade?
[11:49] <Mike1> artti: yes

[11:50] <Roshan> hello, can anyone help me with a problem I am encoutnering while trying to 'sudo apt-get install build essential'. it was failed to fetch cdrom : Ubuntu 7.10-....../libc6.dev-2.6.1-1ubuntu9-i386.deb   hash sum mismatch. Anyone know anything about this?
[11:50] <MohammadBoozary> prince_jammys: nope, what is that name ?
[11:50] <prince_jammys> !da | froid
[11:50] <ubotu> froid: For at få support til Ubuntu på Dansk bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk. I denne kanal tales kun Engelsk.
[11:50] <Mike1> Kaja: Kaja: aptitude marks depencies with different, so when you remove a program the depencies are also removed :)
[11:50] <Kaja> What's better and what's worse is all about opinions, no reason to argue on that. I don't care what other people use.
[11:50] <artti> Mikel: i typed into terminal ad hitted enter. :P
[11:50] <Kaja> Mike1, apt-get does that too =)
[11:50] <Mike1> Kaja: -> you dont have 2343423 unused programs installed just because a tool needed them 34232 years ago
[11:50] <swim_love> Roshan, comment out the cdrom from your sources.list
[11:50] <prince_jammys> MohammadBoozary: mpg123
[11:50] <Kaja> Mike1, does apt-get autoremove ring any bell?
[11:50] <menakcman> hi all
[11:50] <Roshan> swim_love what does that mean? (sorry Im new to linux)
[11:50] <LimCore> hello
[11:50] <Mike1> Kaja: i think aptitude is even better
[11:51] <prince_jammys> MohammadBoozary: plays mp3s from command line, i think
[11:51] <frold> ty prince_jammys
[11:51] <LimCore> why ubuntu is so full of bugs?
[11:51] <prince_jammys> froid no problem
[11:51] <Mimi> Roshan, Linux loves u?
[11:51] <swim_love> do a suodo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:51] <menakcman> any syscall for the command file , which determines the file type
[11:51] <swim_love> sudo
[11:51] <Amr_EL_Sharnoby> Mike1: sometimes after recording long session I find that it recorded nothing ... this happens with both xvidcap and recordmydesktop
[11:51] <MohammadBoozary> prince_jammys: thank you very much :)
[11:51] <Roshan> mimi, hey!, not yet Im afraid
[11:51] <swim_love> Roshan, hopefully your internet works !
[11:51] <Roshan> swim_love sec let me try it
[11:52] <artti> Mikel: Wow! aptitude was fast.
[11:52] <Mimi> Roshan, what did u do?
[11:52] <Kaja> I use apt-get because that's what I've always used =/
[11:52] <brightest> anyone got a linksys WUSB54G wireless adaptop and got it working under Ubuntu Gutsy? - I'm so new to Linux, tried to follow online guides and still nothing. Anyone think they can give me any pointers?
[11:52] <m4steR> i have a problem with my canon lbp 1120
[11:52] <artti> Kaja: aptitude is faster, much faster
[11:52] <Mike1> artti: normally aptitude is a little bit slower than apt-get oO
[11:52] <Mike1> ^^
[11:52] <menakcman> is there a system call corresponding to file command
[11:52] <Kaja> artti, okay, gotta give it a try.
[11:52] <prince_jammys> artti: yes --- if you want to browse with aptitude,,, try "sudo aptitude"  by itself (no package name)
[11:52] <m4steR> I installed it following the ufficial guide
[11:52] <swim_love> brightest, do a ping www.google.com and tell me if that works
[11:53] <m4steR> but it don't print...
[11:53] <Mimi> anybody play wc3?
[11:53] <artti> Mikel: I took only few seconds. apt-get took about hours
[11:53] <Kaja> erm
[11:53] <Kaja> I bet it didn't do the same thing =D
[11:53] <Jado> i have a little problem, i can ping any website but i can't go on it with Konqueror ... ?
[11:54] <MohammadBoozary> Now i need a blogging software for posting contents in wordpress !
[11:54] <MohammadBoozary> Like fucking wlw
[11:54] <menakcman> is there a system call corresponding to 'file' command ??
[11:54] <Roshan> swim_love, I did it, what is supposed to appear?
[11:54] <brightest> smim_love - the problem is Ubuntu either detects the networks available and doesn't connect. So I followed an online guide, something to do with ndiswrapper, I go through all that and suddenly it says there isn't even a wireless adaptop... I think Linux is just way over my head but I really want to give it a try aswell.
[11:55] <prince_jammys> MohammadBoozary: there is a package "wordpress"
[11:55] <Mimi> Is there a Firewall build in ubuntu?
[11:55] <Jado> i have a little problem, i can ping any website but i can't go on it with Konqueror ... ?
[11:55] <prince_jammys> MohammadBoozary: type --> apt-cache search blog
[11:56] <swim_love> Jado, I have exactly the same problem
[11:56] <swim_love> Jado, hurray someone else is with me ...I am not alone :-)
[11:56] <Roshan> swim_love, I did that command, and now something like "/etc/apt/sources/list" [NEW DIRECTORY] came
[11:56] <artti> How about spam block in Ubuntu?
[11:56] <prince_jammys> !firewall | Mimi
[11:56] <ubotu> Mimi: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[11:56] <Jado> swim_love you have no idea ? : /

[11:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ohno - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[11:56] <dr-raku> i just downloaded ubuntu 7.10 dvd [iso] (official torrent) but neither brasero, nor nautilus would burn it to a dvd; they, both, give an error when just about to finalize the burn process (at ~97% when i expect to see the lead-out generation); has this happen to any of you (brasero/nautilus giving errors when trying to write a large iso to a dvd)? is this a bug? please, help! thanks

[11:57] <swim_love> ubotu, so you mean to say the default firewall would be blocking the 80 port ?
[11:57] <gmenelau> who can help me to install the built in camera ?
[11:58] <prince_jammys> Mimi: that i have no idea about -- is it a windows game?
[11:58] <Roshan> swim_love: I tried doing the vi/.../sources.list and pages of written stuff came, any ideas?
[11:58] <KnK9> swim_love : that's a bot :P
[11:58] <aeleon> windows & mac both have ports, i think.
[11:58] <Mimi> prince_jammys, yes hun i'm using wine :P
[11:58] <Trel> dr-raku: Have you tried to verify the md5 checksum to verify it matches the official hash?
[11:58] <swim_love> KnK9, hmmm so anyidea you have a out the builtin firewall
[11:58] <dr-raku> Trel, yes; the md5 is ok
[11:59] <swim_love> Roshan, comment out the line mostly the first one
[11:59] <swim_love> that says cd-rom or something
[11:59] <Roshan> ok
[11:59] <Mimi> prince_jammys, omg thats a hard one!
[11:59] <Trel> Mimi: You might have better luck with Cedega rather than Wine or Crossover?
[12:00] <Mimi> Trel, But i don't want to pay for it?
[12:00] <Trel> http://appdb.winehq.com/ for compatibility and possible instructions to get it working then?

[12:01] <dataloss> Yesterday I shrunk my partitions using Gparted (shrunk NTFS (Vista), grew ext3), and everything went almost well. Windows wouldn't work anyore as it kept booting into the EISA partition instead but I didn't let that bother me since Ubuntu was workin fine. Today the ext3 filesystem went into read-only mode, and when I rebooted, it did a fsck and then told me to do it manually. I went into the LiveCD and did sudo fsck -y /dev/sda3 and it said
[12:01] <Roshan> oh yeah the first line is "DEB cd rom .... gutsy main restricted"
[12:01] <Trel> Hm. That bot is rather useful.
[12:01] <dataloss> *** ext3 journal has been deleted - filesystem is now ext2 only ***. How do I mount this? I need to recover a few things before I format and start over
[12:01] <Mimi> prince_jammys, ur busy?
[12:01] <prince_jammys> Mimi: have you tried installing it already?
[12:02] <swim_love> Jado, any luck
[12:02] <trekdanne> dataloss: try to mount it as ext2
[12:02] <Mimi> prince_jammys, is installed....i need to get it to connect to battlenet...
[12:02] <dataloss> trekdanne: How?

[12:04] <Trel> It looks like there is a bug in Wine that prevents connections to Battle.net for that game
[12:04] <Trel> The bug I linked you to should give you some details about it
[12:04] <Roshan> swim_love: lots of gutsy main restricted in that message

[12:07] <swim_love> Roshan, just comment out that first line that says deb-cdrom
[12:08] <swim_love> Roshan, did you do that
[12:08] <prince_jammys> i don't know Mim
[12:08] <prince_jammys> Mimi i've never done it

[12:09] <Trel> Are you trying to host a game or join one?
[12:09] <Starnestommy> dataloss: looks like a severely damaged FS
[12:09] <swim_love> Roshan, yes, comment that line (put ## at the begining)
[12:09] <Roshan> swim_love: ok I did that
[12:09] <dataloss> Starnestommy: Anything I can do to recover my files?
[12:10] <Roshan> swim_love: what is supposed to happen when I add ## at the beggining?
[12:10] <Starnestommy> dataloss: possibly, but I'm not sure how
[12:10] <artti> Any viruses known for Linux?
[12:10] <swim_love> Roshan, that comments out
[12:10] <jpatrick> !virus | artti
[12:10] <swim_love> now save it (:wq)
[12:10] <ubotu> artti: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[12:10] <prince_jammys> artti: not really
[12:10] <swim_love> and do sudo apt-get update
[12:10] <Mike1> artti: there are some experimental ones
[12:10] <Mike1> artti: but no viruses in the wild :)
[12:11] <prince_jammys> artti: none that you should realistically worry about
[12:11] <lllsondowlll> Just installed ubuntu 7.10 linux and I have nvidia gefore 5500 everytime I boot into ubuntu I get a insane amount of graphic problems. Like colors and lines. I was told to install with the alternate cd and I did but now im still having the same problem but when booting into linux instead of install
[12:11] <prince_jammys> artti: don't work as root
[12:11] <Roshan> swim_love ok done
[12:11] <Smegzor> artti: linux does have browser vulnerabilities, but those are not OS specific (and they tend to get fixed).
[12:11] <xoai> !nvidia
[12:11] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:12] <david> hmm.. most likely a stupid question, but is it possible to make ubuntu server boot USB? ISO -> USB instead of CD (I'm out of discs)
[12:12] <Mike1> artti: use brain 1.0 :)
[12:12] <artti> Hehe... thats weird to think. When i first time got internet, mom went internet, nest thing she did was calling to me and asked whats the problem: everywhere are popups.

[12:13] <mo0n_sniper> you can do that also
[12:13] <david> is it messy?
[12:13] <mo0n_sniper> but i don't think is a good ideea

[12:13] <lllsondowlll> help?
[12:13] <mo0n_sniper> i curently have a ubuntu usb install
[12:13] <Roshan> swim_love: ok i did apt-get update
[12:13] <nayfly> Hey... Is ubuntu x64 less compatible than the 32 bit version? I'm having a little trouble with tuner card drivers...
[12:13] <artti> prince_jammys: I know that i'm not working as root.
[12:13] <david> I wan tto install to HDD, but I only have an USB-stick
[12:14] <mo0n_sniper> and when i plug a usb device i doesn't automagicaly mount it
[12:14] <prince_jammys> artti: then you have nothing to worry about
[12:14] <KnK9> how can I unpack rar archives?
[12:14] <mo0n_sniper> that's the only problem i have
[12:14] <david> so I want to transfer installer ISO to USB
[12:14] <Mike1> david: http://edoceo.com/liber/ubuntu-live-usb
[12:14] <artti> prince_jammys: wanted to ask, how i know that i'm not working as root?
[12:14] <Mike1> david: maybe this howto will work :)
[12:14] <prince_jammys> KnK9: GUI:: file-roller;   terminal:: unrar
[12:14] <Mimi> anybody know about firewall how to open a port...plz
[12:14] <david> thankthanks Mike1 , I'll have a look
[12:15] <aeleon> ..are you kidding?
[12:15] <Mimi> Me?
[12:15] <prince_jammys> KnK9: i think file-roller is packed with gnome by default, check in Apps->Accessories menu (will probably say archive manager)
[12:15] <aeleon> No, sorry, Mimi. Something happened in ubuntu-offtopic.
[12:16] <Roshan> swim_love: you there?
[12:16] <prince_jammys> artii  in a terminal:::    whoami
[12:16] <Mike1> david: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[12:16] <Mike1> david: seems better ;)
[12:16] <nayfly> hey, is this the place to get some help with ubuntu issues?
[12:16] <prince_jammys> nayfly: yessir
[12:16] <mo0n_sniper> you can try
[12:16] <xoai> nayfly: definately
[12:17] <artti> prince_jammys: i'm currently root. Maybe because i do upgrade.
[12:17] <nayfly> coolies. quick question: is the 64 bit AMD version of ubuntu less compatible than the 32 bit version?
[12:17] <swim_love> Roshan, what happened
[12:17] <mo0n_sniper> yes
[12:17] <KnK9> prince_jammys: it isnt installed by default
[12:17] <Mike1> nayfly: yes
[12:17] <prince_jammys> artii use sudo
[12:17] <xoai> !64
[12:17] <ubotu> AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information.
[12:17] <Mike1> g2g, bb!
[12:17] <swim_love> Jado, you there, I have some help for you
[12:17] <prince_jammys> KnK9: are you gnome or kde? ubuntu or kubuntu?
[12:17] <artti> prince_jammys: alright.
[12:17] <KnK9> gnome on ubuntu
[12:17] <nayfly> i see.... what kind of compatibility issues would one run into?
[12:18] <mo0n_sniper> programs only available for i386
[12:18] <Roshan> swim_love: failed to fetch CDrom .... please use apt-cdrom for it to be recognised by APT
[12:18] <Roshan> swim_love: alot of other stuff too, kinda lot to write :)
[12:18] <prince_jammys> KnK9: type in a terminal ---> file-roller  (in case you have it but for some reason it's not in the menu)
[12:19] <mo0n_sniper> but i have amd64 installed :)
[12:19] <KnK9> prince_jammys: thanks, it has poped-up
[12:19] <Smegzor> I run the 64bit version and there are very few programs I can't run.  Most things have a 64bit version.
[12:19] <nayfly> well the thing is, i only want to run a mythtv box... if i compile the drivers for my video capture card using 'make', would that build the drivers for my distro's architecture?
[12:19] <mo0n_sniper> yes
[12:19] <prince_jammys> KnK9: make a menu entry for it and you're set --- opens zip, tar, gz, rar,,,, all those files
[12:20] <Roshan> swim_love, any ideas?
[12:20] <swim_love> Roshan, no
[12:20] <Roshan> shucks :(
[12:21] <nayfly> k. well mythtv cannot open my card.... it's irritating... I can get it to work on my other x86 box. also, mythtv runs sluggish, i.e. navigating through the menus is slow.
[12:21] <nayfly> could it be emulating x86 or something?
[12:21] <KnK9> prince_jammys: it exits when i click "open" :/
[12:21] <Roshan> what was supposed to happen after apt-get update?
[12:21] <Jado> hi, i need help, i can ping any website but i can't connect on konqueror and when i want to update on adept manager i stuck à 27% "waiting for headers"
[12:21] <prince_jammys> KnK9: mmm crap ... try alt-f2 and in the box type file-roller
[12:22] <KnK9> prince_jammys: u rock, thanks
[12:22] <xoai> Jado: are you sure that other box works well with the same connection?
[12:22] <Jado> other box ?
[12:22] <Jado> what do you mean ?
[12:23] <xoai> Jado: other computer, other OS
[12:23] <Jado> yes i'm connected with this connection on this PC
[12:23] <prince_jammys> KnK9: look in "menu editor" to see if it's already there, but disabled -- if not, you're going to have to make a shortcut if you dont want to type it every time
[12:23] <Jado> but i have just installed linux and i don't know how to configure internet
[12:23] <HEP85> Does somebody know where I can find a list of linux supported DVB-C cards?
[12:24] <Roshan> can anyone help me? Im trying to get apt-get install build essential to work but it keeps giving me an error E: Couldnt find package build essential
[12:24] <Jado> i have a local ip address, ping works well, but i can't go on the web
[12:24] <astro76> HEP85: check the MythTV hardware support list
[12:24] <prince_jammys> Roshan: build-essential with a dasg
[12:24] <prince_jammys> Roshan: dash
[12:24] <Roshan> k
[12:24] <xoai> Jado: weird. I just think the connection is too slow
[12:24] <KnK9> thanks prince_jammys
[12:24] <swim_love> xoai, I have the same problem
[12:24] <julien> hello, what's up?
[12:24] <HEP85> astro76: thx
[12:25] <Jado> it's not slow, i can't see www.google.fr on konqueror, have i miss someting ?
[12:25] <Roshan> prince jammys: I did that but I get the same error
[12:25] <prince_jammys> Roshan: use the tab key as you type to autocomplete existing package names
[12:25] <Jado> (whereas i can see it here, on this pc)
[12:25] <swim_love> xoai, Jado, i found one link where they suggest to remove the entry in the /etc/resolv.conf
[12:25] <aeleon> tu parles francais, jado? si tu prefere je pense qu'il ya #ubuntu-fr
[12:26] <Jado> je tente ma chance ici ^^
[12:26] <aeleon> bonne chance!
[12:26] <Roshan> prince_jammys: I dont find build-essential
[12:26] <artti> How long anyone has used Ubuntu?
[12:26] <prince_jammys> Roshan: this is a general tip::: for example you type build (tabkey) and it will try to autocomplete.  if there's more than one that starts with "build", press tab again and it'll show you the ones available
[12:26] <nayfly> i have compiled and installed the drivers for my mythtv capture card. what could it mean that mythtv returns with the message 'device failed to load'
[12:26] <jpatrick> !ft | Jado, aeleon
[12:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ft - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[12:26] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:26] <aeleon> You mean Fr.
[12:26] <aeleon> I was asking him if he prefers the french channel, he said he'd try it out here.
[12:27] <xoai> /etc/resolv is for dns
[12:27] <Roshan> Prince_jammys: there is no build-essential in my list
[12:27] <prince_jammys> Roshan: huh
[12:27] <seeitcoming> Roshan: Have you enabled other repositories?
[12:27] <seeitcoming> !repositories
[12:27] <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
[12:27] <artti> aeleon: Is there estonia channel?
[12:27] <prince_jammys> Roshan: yes it must have to do with repositories then
[12:27] <Roshan> Prince how do I do that?
[12:27] <mo0n_sniper>  Roshan if i kill you will i dget a artifact and my party will get money?

[12:28] <mo0n_sniper> :)
[12:29] <Roshan> prince_jammys, how do I do the whole repository thingy? (sorry Im so new to linux)
[12:29] <prince_jammys> does gnome still have the menu item "software sources"?
[12:29] <Starnestommy> prince_jammys: under System > Administration, yes
[12:29] <Roshan> moon_sniper lol Im in no mood to joke, linux totally hates me :(
[12:29] <mo0n_sniper> :)
[12:29] <seeitcoming> !repositories | Roshan
[12:29] <mo0n_sniper> no it doesn't
[12:29] <ubotu> Roshan: 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
[12:29] <seeitcoming> read that page
[12:29] <prince_jammys> Roshan: System->Administration->Software Sources
[12:30] <seeitcoming> Roshan: it explains how to set-up repositories
[12:30] <Roshan> prince_jammys: ok
[12:30] <prince_jammys> Starnestommy: thanks, i'm on KDE trying to help a gnome user
[12:30] <swim_love> Jado, on your browser can you disable ipv6 ?
[12:30] <Jado> maybe, how ?
[12:31] <prince_jammys> Roshan: the repositories are servers that you download software from
[12:31] <Roshan> Prince: ahh
[12:31] <Roshan> good to know :)
[12:31] <prince_jammys> Roshan: they are urls
[12:31] <xoai> !ipv6
[12:31] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[12:31] <artti> What browser is good for Ubuntu?
[12:31] <xoai> firefox, epiphany
[12:32] <Mushrooms> artti: I like opera
[12:32] <Starnestommy> artti: firefox, konqueror, epiphany, opera (proprietary), w3m, lynx, elinks, wget, or curl
[12:32] <prince_jammys> Roshan: they fall under different categories depending on the software they have (having mostly to do with how "free" the software is)
[12:32] <Roshan> I see
[12:32] <Roshan> I enabled them all now
[12:32] <Starnestommy> oh, and flosk
[12:32] <Starnestommy> er, flock
[12:32] <prince_jammys> Roshan: sudo apt-get install update and then try again
[12:32] <Roshan> its downloading package information right now
[12:32] <Roshan> oki doki
[12:33] <Roshan> few more files left to download then Ill give it a shot
[12:33] <prince_jammys> Roshan: this can all be done from a GUI also called "Synaptic" --- look in the menu
[12:33] <bsdnewb07> any vmware experts around?
[12:33] <artti> Starnestommy: firefox is most known and it has more extensions
[12:34] <Roshan> prince_jammys: Synaptic package manager?
[12:34] <prince_jammys> Roshan: yes
[12:34] <pteague> bsdnewb07> i've installed it & set up a couple vms under vmware, but not sure i'd call myself an expert... what's up?
[12:34] <prince_jammys> Roshan: but sudo apt-get install build-essential should work now
[12:34] <xoai> !anyone
[12:34] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[12:50] <aeleon> when i torrent, it says that i'm not connectable, because of a firewall.
[12:50] <Jado> swim_love do you resolve your problem ?
[12:50] <aeleon> Now, everything else works fine. Could it be ubuntu's firewall?
[12:50] <swim_love> Jado, yup
[12:50] <Roshan> Starnestommy: how do I do that?
[12:50] <Jado> how did you do ?

[12:54] <Roshan> starnestommy: ok now?
[12:54] <mysterycool> i need help with setting up a virtual machine to run ReactOS
[12:54] <Jado> swim_love do you want me to try something else ?
[12:54] <wizardmon> Hi, I just got ubuntu and I was wondering, why can't my 3870 run compiz? it was able to run beryl while I was running sabayon
[12:54] <Starnestommy> Roshan: try to update the repositories again
[12:54] <seeitcoming> LimCore: Give it time to hit backports. It doesn't exactly seem like a showstopper
[12:54] <mysterycool> i downloaded vmware and the iso of ReactOS but I need help getting them to work :p
[12:55] <speedhunt3r> Starnestommy, dun mean to intrude but why didn't you tell him to do it the easy way from software sources and just uncheck the cd-rom ?
[12:55] <seeitcoming> LimCore: And the Ubuntu flag-ship DE is GNOME, anyway
[12:55] <mysterycool> i need help with setting up a virtual machine to run ReactOS
[12:55] <LimCore> seeitcoming: it was in 2005 O_o
[12:56] <seeitcoming> LimCore: Yeah, and now it's fixed in hardy. Give it some time to propagate back
[12:56] <knight666> hi i have a problem :O!
[12:56] <LimCore> so... find a bug,  wait 3 years, YEY FIXED \o/   ?
[12:56] <knight666> ubuntu keeps saying it can't load the graphics thingamijgg and it won't boot
[12:56] <astro76> LimCore: your complaining is not useful
[12:56] <knight666> it will load the environment, but keep on resetting it :(
[12:56] <LimCore> how about applying bug fixes faster
[12:57] <Roshan> starnestommy: it says "Theres another synaptic running in non-interactive mode. Please wait for it to finish first."
[12:57] <binu> hi all
[12:57] <knight666> now i've read about how i should delete some folders and this will magically fix everything, is this a good idea y/n?
[12:57] <artti> Yay... got upgraded to breezy
[12:57] <speedhunt3r> Roshan, which means it's installing something else... or u left a terminal or window open somewhere
[12:57] <knight666> rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity WILL THIS HELP?
[12:57] <binu> can u suggest a good IM software for ubuntu
[12:57] <speedhunt3r> Roshan, or it's running updates...
[12:57] <prince_jammys> Roshan:  mmmm are you running "software sources" or something like that at the same time?
[12:57] <cyborg235> anyone can tell me how to install a .package file
[12:57] <Starnestommy> binu: pidgin
[12:57] <LimCore> binu: all are filled with bugs

[12:58] <LimCore> binu: pidgin is ghay and have stupid icon
[12:58] <Starnestommy> LimCore: stop trolling
[12:58] <pajamian> knight666: it may if that's where the problem lies.
[12:58] <speedhunt3r> lol LimCore is a hater.
[12:58] <cyborg235> aMSN is better

[12:58] <Roshan> speedhunter how do I go about closing a terminal?
[12:58] <goldenfox> good day, I notice gnome desktop is larger than windows xp in 1024x768. Is there any way we can configure it? thanks
[12:58] <Roshan> Prince jammys: no Im not
[12:58] <LimCore> binu: psi is the most usable one, for jabber
[12:59] <Jado> yes, i'm rebooting now, but i tried the commands you told me
[12:59] <LimCore> goldenfox: larger?
[12:59] <speedhunt3r> Roshan, you can type exit to close ur teminal session.
[12:59] <cyborg235> anyone can tell me how to install a .package file for aMSN please ?
[12:59] <prince_jammys> goldenfox: try System-->Preferences-->Screen Resolution
[12:59] <Jado> swimmer_lover
[12:59] <pajamian> knight666: those folders will be re-created with a default setup the next time you launch gnome (ie on a reboot, or whatever).  Unless you have customized configurations you don't want to loose it's safe to delete them.  If you're not sure you can always rename them instead.
[12:59] <shishirmk> hey guys where to pick a tar ball or a .deb file to install mysql server and client on fiesty
[12:59] <Jado> yes, i'm rebooting now, but i tried the commands you told me
[12:59] <binu> ????
[12:59] <peppers> hi there
[12:59] <nucco_> hello, is there a way to adjust gamma settings in totem? my videos aren't playing with the correct colours
[12:59] <swimmer_lover> cyborg235, dpkg -i <package name>
[13:00] <artti> Do i have to reboot computer after aptitude upgrade?
[13:00] <peppers> I was wondering, is there a command or commands that allows you to check the current doenstream and upstream?
[13:00] <prince_jammys> shishirmk: why not use apt?
[13:00] <cyborg235> thank you swimmer_lover  , will try :)
[13:00] <goldenfox> LimCore, i mean like the fonts and the window is larger than windows xp in 1024x768
[13:00] <swimmer_lover> shishirmk, do a apt-cache search mysql
[13:00] <LimCore> nucco_: totem sucks, use vlc.  vlc is broken (bug about keys) so install kaffeine as well
[13:00] <prince_jammys> shishirmk: apt has all that stuff
[13:00] <speedhunt3r> nucco_, for me i have my nvidia settings manager and i change the video gamma settings from there...
[13:00] <shishirmk> well because i have to take it to system that doesnt have internet
[13:00] <nucco_> artti: depends on if a new kernel was installed
[13:00] <swimmer_lover> and do apt-get install from the result you get
[13:00] <LimCore> goldenfox: kde or gnome?  have a K icon in corner?
[13:00] <knight666> pajamian: okay, thanks for your help >^_&<
[13:00] <goldenfox> LimCore, gnome
[13:00] <nucco_> peppers: are you talking about network speeds?
[13:00] <LimCore> goldenfox: there is config for that but I dont remember
[13:00] <peppers> yes
[13:01] <shishirmk> swimmer_lover: what will that give me.. i mean that apt-cache command?
[13:01] <prince_jammys> shishirmk: ahhh ... try the mysql official site
[13:01] <peppers> upstream and downstream in b/s or KiB/s
[13:01] <swimmer_lover> shishirmk, ok then simply pass the download only option for the apt-get and it will store the binary in the /apt/....some directory fetch them
[13:01] <pajamian> knight666: good luck.
[13:01] <Goliath23> hey there. I have a strange problem in 7.10 with my sound card (MCP55 using the AD1988B chip and the hda_intel alsa module). I use sound output via IEC958 digital out. The right channel sounds distorded, like it was oversteered a bit, bu the left channes is fine. its not loude, it just hat distorted sound. when I use the analog out, it works...
[13:01] <goldenfox> LimCore, oh i see. thanks for the hint :)
[13:01] <Goliath23> any ideas?
[13:01] <swimmer_lover> its a search command
[13:01] <nucco_> LimCore: i like totem, thanks. I suspect the issue is with gstreamer+fglrx
[13:01] <Jado> swim_love what should i do next ?
[13:01] <Jado> swimmer_lover*
[13:01] <LimCore> nucco_: vlc > totem
[13:01] <shishirmk> prince_jammys: tried no package for debian based systems everything is rpm
[13:01] <artti> Is Ubuntu 6.04 supported?
[13:01] <prince_jammys> shishirmk: try what swimmer_lover said -- that sounds best
[13:01] <peppers> there ain't a ubuntu 6.04
[13:02] <shishirmk> swimmer_lover: how do i do download only
[13:02] <peppers> there's 6.06 which is the LTS
[13:02] <peppers> so ye, that one is still suported until 2009 I think
[13:02] <Starnestommy> 8.04 is the next LTS release
[13:02] <swimmer_lover> man apt-get
[13:02] <nucco_> speedhunt3r: i'm using an ATI card, and non-gstreamer apps are working fine. also totem-xine works fine, but it crashes if i'm not using xgl
[13:02] <shishirmk> ok
[13:02] <peppers> ty Starnestommy didn't know :P
[13:02] <prince_jammys> shishirmk: do man apt-get    -- the -d option
[13:02] <nucco_> peppers: if you're using gnome, install netspeed-applet
[13:02] <artti> peppers: so i upgrade then to 6.06 LTS
[13:02] <swimmer_lover> shishirmk, I can do the same and tell  you but you won't learn anything
[13:03] <bahr> How do I install Adobe Acrobat Reader on Ubuntu 7.10?
[13:03] <bauer__> printer setup ? My printer worked fine , but then i upgraded to
[13:03] <bauer__> Ubuntu 7.10
[13:03] <bauer__>                 - the Gutsy Gibbon
[13:03] <peppers> artti, you'd be better upgrading to 7.10 (current) or waiting for 8.04 and just using that
[13:03] <xoai> !pdf | bahr
[13:03] <ubotu> bahr: pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source)

[13:03] <peppers> nucco_, on kde
[13:03] <speedhunt3r> nucco_, sorry I had massive troubles with ATI I avoid handling issues concerning it.
[13:03] <cyborg235> swimmer_lover,  , the file have the ".package" ike extention
[13:03] <peppers> and I'm looking for a cmd line cmd so I can use it on a konversation/superkaramba script
[13:03] <nucco_> peppers: if you're using gnome, install netspeed-applet
[13:03] <artti> peppers: I have 5.10, can't directly to 7.10
[13:04] <cyborg235> amsn-0.97-1.tcl85.x86.package
[13:04] <cyborg235> how to install
[13:04] <peppers> nucco_, I'm using kde
[13:04] <bauer__> printer setup ? My printer worked fine , but then i upgraded to  Ubuntu 7.10 and now i won't work :-/
[13:04] <Jado> swimmer_lover what should i do next ?
[13:04] <peppers> artti, then you need to go 6.06 --> 6.10 --> 7.04 --> 7.10
[13:04] <artti> Why 6.06 LTS is 6.06 LTS but not 6.04
[13:04] <bahr> but how do I install it...?
[13:04] <peppers> but it'd be better to just fresh isntall 7.10 tbh
[13:05] <artti> peppers: i'm currentlu doing that
[13:05] <astro76> artti: they took 2 extra months to polish it, being an LTS release
[13:05] <peppers> what? fresh isntall?
[13:05] <aeleon> ok- I've set a VPN up with my ubuntu box being the server and a vista client. So when I try to run utorrent on it, it doesn't seem to get past like 15Kb on avg, though my upload is quite fierce, and I am apparently "not connectable: a firewall/router is limiting my network traffic". My ports are open and all that; could it be ubuntu's firewall?
[13:06] <peppers> aeleon, what kind of conenction is it? NAT?
[13:06] <artti> peppers: can't do fresh install 7.10.
[13:06] <peppers> why artti?
[13:06] <aeleon> it? my vpn? TCP, I believe.
[13:06] <swimmer_lover> Jado, so you enabled the ipv6 to true ?
[13:06] <Pef^> could anybody give any tips how to run your repositories on a windows machine?
[13:06] <swimmer_lover> in your terminal type ip a | grep inet6
[13:06] <artti> peppers: havent' install cd, can't burn cd
[13:06] <swimmer_lover> you should not see any output
[13:06] <cyborg235> i found swimmer_lover  , http://www.autopackage.org/ thank you :)
[13:07] <Duo> Yo
[13:07] <peppers> ok, then you'll have to go as I said sequentially. but'll take a long time and lots of bandwidth artti
[13:07] <swimmer_lover> cyborg235, cool
[13:07] <peppers> anyway, anyone have an answer for my question?
[13:07] <goldenfox> LimCore, i think it's the DPI settings that must be tweak in gnome desktop :)
[13:07] <cyborg235> :) swimmer_lover
[13:07] <artti> peppers: so step by step is faster and less headache
[13:08] <peppers> artti, all you'll have to do is open the update manager. it'll tell you there's a new ubuntu version avaliable and you select upgrade and it does it all on its own.
[13:08] <LimCore> goldenfox: or adjust fonts
[13:08] <peppers> but as I said it'll take a long time
[13:08] <Duo> I get this error when trying to download anything from synaptic http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56351/ it looks like it's trying to resolve back to itself somehow
[13:08] <peppers> there's a wiki article on it if you need further help
[13:09] <extern> I have Ubuntu x86_64 and when I try to compile "int main(){}" with gcc -m32 asd.c, I get "/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.3/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc". What may be wrong?

[13:09] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[13:09] <Duo> the only thing I think I changed was switching over to opendns using the instructions on their site
[13:09] <Starnestommy> Duo: looks like weird proxying settings
[13:09] <aeleon> peppers: don't mean to press, but in case you didn't see, my vpn is over tcp. my place here in the uk blocks udp.
[13:09] <artti> peppers: synaptic?
[13:10] <peppers> artti, I think so. not sure, I use kde

[13:19] <aeleon> So, I'm torrenting on my VPN (vista client, ubuntu server), and I'm getting a message like this: WARNING: Bad encapsulated packet length from peer (4930), which must be > 0 and <= 1544 -- please ensure that --tun-mtu or --link-mtu is equal on both peers -- this condition could also indicate a possible active attack on the TCP link
[13:19] <aeleon> I dunno if this is offtopic, but could anyone help me decipher this?
[13:20] <extern> erUSUL, that one wasn't installed. Installing it now.
[13:20] <knight666> when i boot ubuntu i see an ubuntu screen with cursor, but it keeps going to black and back again, and after six times it says something about "resetting graphics environment". I've already uninstalled compiz but I don't know what to do from here. :(

[13:20] <Filled-Void> extern, Ive writtewn up a guide for compiling WIne on 64 bit Ubuntu with necessary links etc here http://www.filledvoid.com/2008/02/16/compiling-wine-for-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-64-bit/ If you just need to compile it then skip the patch part
[13:20] <Andeh> okay, i got camorama, it said cannot connect to /dev/video0, please check connection. What?

[13:21] <roland_> i was wondering if you could help me with WINE! i installed a certain windows based program though its not working! how may i know where does WINE install its progs! like the directory..
[13:21] <extern> Filled-Void, I'll have a look at your guide
[13:21] <astro76> roland_: ~/.wine/
[13:21] <aeleon> That looks like hebrew or greek to me, is there a hebrew or greek channel?

[13:22] <ubotu> knight666: 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. :-)
[13:22] <Filled-Void> extern, I just wrote the process I used in easy terms . Im using the git version also. but Ive included the basic links for any person who wants to compile it on a 64 bit version of Ubuntu gg
[13:22] <brobostigon> knight666: fire away
[13:22] <astro76> roland_: ~ is your user's home directory, type cd ~/.wine/ and it will take you there

[13:22] <Filled-Void> roland_, ION your home directoy there should be a folder for Wine i believe

[13:24] <aeleon> crazy, Muelli. i was expectin git to be is.
[13:24] <rufus_> guys, rufus isnt speaking hebrew or whatever. I messed up my keyboard - how do I change it back?
[13:24] <extern> erUSUL, hmm, that's strange :/ And you didn't have any issue with this at all?
[13:24] <Muelli> aeleon: that may be iceland ;-)

[13:24] <roland_> thanks astro76 Filled-Void  worked like a charm
[13:25] <erUSUL> extern: i remembered having to compile something 32 bit specific and someone tell me what to install but i can not remember exactly what
[13:25] <Muelli> Andeh: I'd try the following: plug the camera off the usb port. sudo dmesg -c, plug it in, then dmesg and watch the output. If it does not say anything your cam is br0ken

[13:25] <aeleon> Rufus needs heolp with his keyboard.
[13:25] <aeleon> help*
[13:25] <Andeh> Muelli: It worked fine in windows 4 minutes ago
[13:26] <rufus_> i was messing with compiz and it changed
[13:26] <rufus_> i think I hit alt+f1
[13:26] <Andeh> Muelli: Oh, and dmesg -c gives me about 4000 pages. It doesn't even fit in the terminal.
[13:26] <rosebuntu> ubuntu~!! chnnel no one is
[13:26] <Muelli> Andeh: thats garbage. That;s why the -c switch: It deletes that buffer
[13:26] <Muelli> Andeh: after plugging in, the output is important
[13:27] <mysterycool> bbl ;)
[13:27] <Andeh> Muelli: Um. WIth -c, it still gives me 40000 lines
[13:27] <rufus_> where do i access the keyboard menu?
[13:27] <Andeh> Muelli: never mind
[13:27] <ompaul> rufus, if in compiz then #compiz

[13:28] <aeleon> hooray, rufus!
[13:28] <Roshan> I just intalled my nvidia drivers, but when I restarted my PC, it said there was a problem and I had to run in low graphics mode, can anyone help me with this?
[13:28] <Andeh> Muelli: okay, it says this:  [ 3441.268576] usb 6-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3                     [ 3441.459584] usb 6-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice                                  [ 3441.462551] /build/buildd/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-2.6.22/debian                 build/build-generic/media/gspcav1/gspca_core.c: USB SPCA5XX camera found.(ZC3XX)

[13:30] <natlinuxnewb> erUSUL: Thank you for that Link WAaaaay up there. It was exactly what I needed.
[13:30] <Muelli> Andeh: I have no idea. I have never used a Camera before ;-) But I guess, you should have a "video4linux" device which you don't have according to your dmesg :-\ I'd try with Ekiga..

[13:35] <IndyGunFreak> artti: then just do a clean install..
[13:35] <natlinuxnewb> sant: what are you trying to do?
[13:35] <IndyGunFreak> didn't we already go through this..
[13:35] <Muelli> camilla: if you can, use find itself. It has a execution parameter which execute a given program with the just found filename as a parameter.
[13:35] <astro76> IndyGunFreak: it's like a broken record ;)
[13:36] <IndyGunFreak> !eol | artti look at the info on 5.10

[13:36] <artti> IndyGunFreak: yes we did. :)
[13:36] <prince_jammys> camilla: quote the vars
[13:36] <rosebuntu> i need some information about web hacking
[13:36] <IndyGunFreak> then why are you wasting my time?
[13:36] <ompaul> aeleon, this would be better;   rosebuntu please check here http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:36] <Andeh> camstream gives me this: Error opening video device: -16. Huh?
[13:36] <IndyGunFreak> you knew what iw as gonna say.
[13:36] <sant> i want to intsall xp then ubuntu
[13:36] <natlinuxnewb> teo: http://gag.sourceforge.net/
[13:36] <prince_jammys> camilla: see what happens when you quote the vars (always quote vars , by the way)
[13:36] <camilla> Muelli: Yes, I have done this before. But I know want to expand my script and have the find command inside my script. I have this "spaces" problem in other parts of my scripts as well
[13:36] <prince_jammys> camilla: else spaces get misinterpreted
[13:36] <Filled-Void> sant, Do you have WIndows xp installed already ?
[13:37] <rosebuntu> hey guys, take it easy ^___________^
[13:37] <IndyGunFreak> sant: always install Windows, then Linux
[13:37] <compwiz18> rosebuntu: this isn't the place to learn about web hacking, unless it pertains in some way to ubuntu, and even then, we don't give advice on malicious subjects
[13:37] <IndyGunFreak> its a lot less headache
[13:37] <Muelli> camilla: how about: for file in $(find "$1" -iname '*.sfv'); do echo "$1"; done ?
[13:37] <sant> nothing
[13:37] <brobostigon> rosebuntu: web hacking is illegal, we dont support illegal here.
[13:37] <prince_jammys> camilla: #bash
[13:37] <rosebuntu> i'm just courious about that. i am not bad guy
[13:37] <sant> linux takes complete hard disk
[13:37] <aeleon> ompaul:  that's making her do more work in a language she probably doesn't know well.
[13:37] <camilla> prince_jammys: Ooohh, thats a nice channel :)
[13:37] <knight666> my ubuntu environment keeps resetting on boot up, i've tried reconfiguring xserver-xorg, uninstalling compiz and smashing my head against the monitor. is it safe to assume i will need to reinstall ubuntu? (i installed it yesterday, it wouldn't be a total disaster)
[13:38] <Andeh> Has anyone here got their webcam working on ubuntu
[13:38] <prince_jammys> camilla: you mean they're mean over there? :)  but useful
[13:38] <ompaul> hang about
[13:38] <Filled-Void> sant, Read what IndyGunFreak said above. Basically install WIndows First with consideration that you need to install Ubuntu after that. In other words make sure you have space for Ubuntu later
[13:38] <IndyGunFreak> sant: so do you have data w/ onj the linux partitions you need backedup, or is it a new install?
[13:38] <rosebuntu> i always keep secret
[13:38] <camilla> prince_jammys: Naa, didn't know about the #bash channel. Can be useful
[13:38] <natlinuxnewb> Is GStreamer anygood as an MP3 player?
[13:39] <sant> new install i already cleaned all the data
[13:39] <Filled-Void> knight666, By any chance are you using a 8600 gt?
[13:39] <aeleon> I stick by foobar.
[13:39] <Stevethepirate> natlinuxnewb: Gsteamer is a codec.
[13:39] <aeleon> <3333
[13:39] <Stevethepirate> Filled-Void: I am.
[13:39] <IndyGunFreak> sant: ok, so insert your XP disk, install XP, give the entire hard drive to XP...
[13:39] <Stevethepirate> a 8600m gr
[13:39] <Stevethepirate> *gt
[13:39] <prince_jammys> camilla: very - some extremely knowledgable people there --- but quote your command subs also "$(blah)" <-- even if they contain quotes themselves
[13:39] <compwiz18> rosebuntu: even so, it is considered offtopic :)
[13:39] <Muelli> knight666: have you tried to not use the nvidia driver but rather "nv"? Could you paste your /etx/X11/xorg.conf somewhere?
[13:39] <IndyGunFreak> sant: once you've installed XP, boot your ubuntu CD, and partition the hard drive, and install Ubuntu
[13:39] <knight666> Filled-Void: no i have an nVidia FX 5200, which worked fine until i rebooted after fiddling with some settings :\
[13:40] <sant> when i am trying to do that xp cd cannot boot
[13:40] <camilla> prince_jammys: quotes also there.. Gonna try it
[13:40] <IndyGunFreak> sant: well, thats not a Linux issue..
[13:40] <artti> Can i look via terminal free space?
[13:40] <Filled-Void> knight666, Settings like in Ubuntu tweak ?
[13:40] <IndyGunFreak> sant: is your bios set to look at the CD Drive first?
[13:40] <Muelli> artti: free disk space? Try df -h :)
[13:40] <desowin> can someone tell me where can I find sqlite qt4 driver? libqt4-sql 4.3.3-0ubuntu2 doesn't provide it, while libqt4-sql 4.3.3-0ubuntu1 had it included (running hardy), how is it now supposed to work?
[13:40] <sant> plz help me
[13:40] <sant> s
[13:40] <brobostigon> artti: df -h -T
[13:40] <camilla> prince_jammys: Naa, didn't work. Am gonna ask in the #bash channel.
[13:41] <IndyGunFreak> sant: you just now clearly stated your problem, the issue isn't with linux
[13:41] <IndyGunFreak> sant: your problem is either 1.  You aren't set to boot the CD Drive first(which is unlikely if you used it to install Ubuntu)
[13:41] <prince_jammys> camilla: the \ is probably getting misinterpreted in the 'find'
[13:41] <knight666> Filled-Void: settings as in compiz settings and graphics settings from "normal" to "heavy?" and back again
[13:41] <IndyGunFreak> sant: or 2, your XP CD is bad(seems more likely)
[13:41] <sant> with  ubuntu installed first i am not able to boot the xp cd
[13:41] <sant> No its in good condition
[13:42] <IndyGunFreak> sant: linux being installed on the hard drive, has no relevance to being able to boot your XP cd
[13:42] <compwiz18> sant: having Ubuntu install has nothing to do with the fact that you can't boot from your XP cd, unless the hard drive is set to boot first in the bios
[13:42] <natlinuxnewb> sant: that makes sense as the CD inst supposed to be used on linux systems (which you have now)
[13:42] <burkmat> Bluetooth in Ubuntu: Using 'hcitool cc MAC' is supposed to work according to google, but running 'hcitool con' after shows that no connection has been established to anything, even though I get no errors from cc.
[13:42] <camilla> prince_jammys: Hmmm, probably...
[13:42] <IndyGunFreak> compwiz18: that seems unlikely, since he just installed Ubuntu, but i've already proposed that, he says its not the case, i suspect he's trolling
[13:42] <desowin> is it regression in libqt4-sql 4.3.3-0ubuntu2 or there's something I overlooked regarding qt4 sqlite?
[13:43] <Andeh> hi. How do I add a third party repo to sources.lst? I visited the url in firefox and all the deb files are there, but apt still says 404 not found.
[13:43] <Andeh> the url is deb http://blognux.free.fr/debian unstable main
[13:43] <IndyGunFreak> Andeh: well, if the repo is closed, you can't add it.
[13:43] <sant> indy gun plz help me
[13:43] <compwiz18> IndyGunFreak: it does, unless Ubuntu is his first OS on that computer, and that's unlikely
[13:43] <IndyGunFreak> Andeh: what are yuou trying to install?
[13:43] <Andeh> IndyGunFreak: Well, it's not. I can download all the deb files
[13:43] <IndyGunFreak> sant: if you're not going to listen, stop talking to me
[13:44] <Andeh> IndyGunFreak: Webcam drivers, since noone here wanted to help me with that.
[13:44] <astro76> sant: ##windows
[13:44] <Muelli> Andeh: you didn't tell the results of Ekiga :P
[13:44] <brobostigon> andeh: i am sorry, but i have never used a webcam, ever, s i couldnt advise on anything
[13:45] <Andeh> Muelli: i didn't feel like making an account. And still, if six other programs failed, why wouldn't ekiga?

[13:45] <IndyGunFreak> sure,
[13:45] <Andeh> IndyGunFreak: So I should just download them all?
[13:45] <IndyGunFreak> but suggestion for what?
[13:45] <Andeh> lol
[13:45] <IndyGunFreak> Andeh: i don't see why not.
[13:45] <natlinuxnewb> id like to clarify something for my knowledgebase :)
[13:45] <natlinuxnewb> regarding what sant is asking
[13:45] <jrib> jpatrick: hmm?
[13:45] <newuser> Ask for help:1.Installation halted(message:detecting file systems) & after a long time (1,2 or ....hours) installation is not still completed. 2.Even installation was completed,machine was unable to restart.Switching off & on again,GRUb is running & no response.
[13:46] <Muelli> Andeh: which programs didn't do until now? And as I said: if you *have to* create an ekiga account, file a bug, because you must not have to create one...
[13:46] <jrib> jpatrick: is there a reason for !ops?
[13:47] <sant> my xp cd is not booted when ubuntu installed first what todo natlinuxnewb
[13:47] <jpatrick> jrib: see the op channel
[13:47] <fab|wien> hi
[13:47] <KimTW> Hi
[13:47] <fab|wien> help: is there a command to show me all packages which are old or just locally installed? like synaptic does?
[13:47] <ompaul> jrib, me here
[13:48] <Muelli> fab|wien: dpkg --get-selections ?
[13:48] <fab|wien> Muelli: and further? :)
[13:50] <natlinuxnewb> sorry sant. I cant help you at the moment.
[13:50] <fab|wien> Muelli: I just want the packages which are "locally installed", that means that they are in no repository anymore
[13:50] <KimTW> I have some data on an unsupported monitor. Is there somewhere I can send this data to?
[13:51] <IndyGunFreak> sant: have yout ried restarting your computer with the XP Cd in the drive?
[13:51] <sant> yes indy
[13:51] <Roshan> what do I do when i get "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." when I try to run nvidia server settings?
[13:52] <Muelli> hm. I am sorry fab|wien. I don't know how to get those packages. But I guess it's possible somehow ;-)
[13:52] <IndyGunFreak> sant: then for the 5th time.. its one of two things.. 1.  Your CD is bad, or 2.  Your system is not set to boot from CD first.. I guess 3 could be, your CD Drive is bad.
[13:53] <nicky> hello
[13:53] <IndyGunFreak> sant: linux has nothing to do with any o the above.
[13:53] <Andeh> Muelli: Ekiga: No device found.
[13:53] <rufus> in kubuntu, how do I install a KDE theme\style?
[13:53] <nicky> join #linux
[13:53] <teo-> how can i completly remove update manager from the taskbar ??
[13:54] <Muelli> Andeh: Yeah, that's what I said: You seem to not ahve a v4l device :-\ I'd try to modprobe v4l and lsmod | grep v4l
[13:54] <DranDane_> Is it possible to use lilo to start Ubuntu?
[13:54] <Andeh> Muelli:  v4l2_common            21888  1 videodev                                                 v4l1_compat            15364  1 videodev
[13:54] <rufus> DranDane_, of course
[13:54] <IndyGunFreak> DranDane:  sure..
[13:55] <DranDane_> And Lilo is on the liveCD?
[13:55] <rufus> no
[13:55] <komTTa> 195.85.225.201
[13:55] <teo-> how can i completly remove update manager from the taskbar ??
[13:56] <Muelli> hm Andeh. I'm not into v4l stuff at all. But I think, that it looks good. What does grep v4l /var/log/messages say?
[13:56] <compwiz18> teo-: you could uninstall update-manager, but I'm not sure that would be a good idea
[13:56] <Andeh> Muelli: It doesn't.
[13:56] <seeitcoming_> teo-: Remove it from gnome-session-properties
[13:57] <Muelli> teo-: You can disable automatic updates at all. Then there shuold be no icon in the notification-area at all
[13:57] <DranDane_> And last question: is it possible to use a third party starting software like Xosl or Ranish Boot Manager without grub and lilo ?
[13:58] <Muelli> hm Andeh. weird. I have no further ideas handy. I'd reboot that machine and try again :-\ But wait: Maybe you need to have the restricted modules installed...?
[13:58] <nonix4> DranDane_: depends on whether those loaders know how to load the kernel
[13:58] <artti> Is it safe to install linux without cleanning hard disk before?
[13:58] <Andeh> Muelli: Yeah, exept ubuntu says I don't need any more for any hardware I have (i have the VMWare and NVidia ones already)
[13:58] <jrib> artti: sure, the install will let you format
[13:58] <faileas> artti: 'cleaning'?
[13:59] <Muelli> artti: depends on what kind of "safe" you mean. But I'd say: yes
[13:59] <david> hmm.. is it not possible in any way to install ubuntu server, either over the net with a bootCD or from terminal or something
[13:59] <cafka> hi.. i need a good program to watch my laptop cpu temperature.. ???
[13:59] <Andeh> faileas: maybe he means formatting?
[13:59] <jrib> !install > david (read the private message from ubotu)
[13:59] <david> cafka: tried google?
[13:59] <artti> jrib: Huh... i had Windows Xp  Pro and i installed Linux there. Bye bye Win.
[13:59] <jrib> david: does anything there help?
[13:59] <Roshan> hi, I just intsalled my nvidia drivers, but my system can only run on low resolution :( . I get this error when i try to use nvidia x server settings, "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " Can anyone please help me?
[13:59] <jrib> artti: if you told it to do that, then yes
[13:59] <DranDane_> nonix4: the problem is i can't install grub. what is the solution?
[14:00] <bazhang> cafka something like lm-sensors?
[14:00] <cafka> david yes but i dont find nothing:S
[14:00] <Muelli> Andeh: my last suggestion: reboot and see whether it works. btw: which program do you want to use with your cam anyway?
[14:00] <faileas> Andeh: its a very important distinction
[14:00] <cafka> bazhang, i need to watch my temperature in the taskbar something like that..
[14:00] <bazhang> !info lm-sensors
[14:00] <ubotu> lm-sensors (source: lm-sensors): utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors. In component main, is extra. Version 1:2.10.4-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 496 kB, installed size 1520 kB
[14:00] <nayfly> hey i installed mythtv on my newly installed 64bit ubuntu feisty box, and myth recognises my card, but when i try to scan for channels, it says 'failed to open card' ...... any ideas on what might be going wrong?
[14:00] <bazhang> see above cafka
[14:01] <Andeh> Muelli: MSN ^_^
[14:01] <Andeh> Muelli: So that means AMSN or Kopete or whatever
[14:01] <Filled-Void> nayfly, Does your tv tuner work on programs like tvtime?
[14:01] <Andeh> Oh, quick question. Does anyone know under what menu LMMS installs?
[14:01] <Roshan> hi, I just intsalled my nvidia drivers, but my system can only run on low resolution :( . I get this error when i try to use nvidia x server settings, "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " Can anyone please help me? I've just installed ubuntu and I dont really know how to work my way around much.
[14:01] <Muelli> Andeh: does a msn client for linux exist which does Video? And hey: Don't use MSN anyway. It's bad, insecure, threatenign your privacy, not-free, etc.
[14:01] <fab|wien> Muelli: i just want to list obsolete packages
[14:01] <nonix4> DranDane_: You do know that you can use chain-loading with just about any combination of bootloaders?
[14:02] <Filled-Void> Roshan, have you tried using the restricted Drivers?
[14:02] <Jockeo> In openoffice.org Writer, how do I type a character based on its Unicode representation? I want to type the "approximate equals to" character, which has unicode representation 2245.
[14:02] <nayfly> Filled-Void: tvtime is telling me that my ATI drivers don't support YUY2 overlay.....
[14:02] <Filled-Void> nayfly, What display card?
[14:02] <Andeh> Muelli: Tell that to the 300 people on my contact list
[14:02] <Roshan> Filled-Void: how do I do that?
[14:03] <Muelli> Jockeo: Dunno, but you could use gucharmap
[14:03]  * nonix4 thought xosl had died half a decade ago or so...
[14:03] <jrib> Jockeo: (anywhere in GNOME) is ctrl-shift-u and then 2245.  Does that work in OOo?
[14:03] <Filled-Void> Roshan, System > Adminstriation > Restricted Driver Management
[14:03] <Muelli> Andeh: sure, give me your credentials. I'll tell them about Jabber
[14:03] <david> jrib: the tinyurl might help :)
[14:03] <faileas> hmm
[14:03] <nayfly> ATI Radeon X1950
[14:03] <nayfly> fairly new card
[14:03] <Andeh> Muelli: Lol. The only thing I ever do on msn is MSN handwriting anyway
[14:03] <Roshan> Filled-Void: Yes my nvidia drivers are in use
[14:04] <Andeh> Muelli: I'm trying to get VMWare to work so I can seamlessly intergrate my existing windows install with ubuntu :P
[14:04] <seeitcoming_> Jockeo: Ctrl+Shift+U
[14:04] <jrib> david: there should be netboot instructions too somewhere
[14:04] <Andeh> Muelli: oh, and aMSN works fine with webcams
[14:04] <Alp-> just read something about profiling the startup with putting the parameter "profile" at the end of the kernel boot line. they say it speed ups the boot process, but i dont find any information about this. what's that profile thing?
[14:04] <Muelli> Andeh: then jabber fits your needs perfectly. You can even use MSN to convince your contants
[14:04] <seeitcoming_> Jockeo: you get an underlined u, then enter the unicode and press enter
[14:04] <Filled-Void> Roshan, When my display was actign funky I ran the command dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg and it fixed it. Other than that Im clueless sorry :(
[14:04] <faileas> Andeh: mercury supports video for MSN i think
[14:05] <faileas> at least it has for years
[14:05] <nayfly> Filled-Void: I have a radeon x1950
[14:05] <Andeh> faileas: Great. Can YOU help get my cam working then?
[14:05] <Filled-Void> nayfly, Theres a program to scan for channels only . I think it was scantv
[14:05] <Muelli> Andeh: well. for the cam problem: make sure, you get a v4l device. But I don't know how yuo do that. I'd expect the kernel to do that for you as soons as it recognizes yuor cam (which it does according to your dmseg)
[14:05] <Roshan> ok ty void
[14:05] <LimCore> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg/+bug/15485   this bug occures for me in 7.10 - should it be reopened?
[14:05] <nonix4> DranDane_: in another words, have one boot loader located at MBR load another located at the partition you want to boot...
[14:05] <faileas> Andeh: the cam itself, no experience. It has to play nice with windows too ;p
[14:05] <faileas> *linux
[14:05] <Jockeo> jrib and seeitcoming_: Thanks it worked fine!
[14:06] <jrib> LimCore: fix released means it's in hardy repos
[14:06] <ompaul> Jockeo, don't know if this helps but have a look at from the menu: insert object formula as I say it is all I can thing of but not be the 100% match you want
[14:06] <LimCore> jrib: can I use it in my 7.10 amd64 the fixed version?
[14:06] <Andeh> faileas: It works fine on windows. Not broken. Should work out of the box. Yet none of the programs can access the video device. Wtf?
[14:06] <mysterycool> how do i install qemu?
[14:06] <jrib> LimCore: well depending on the date, you'd have to check
[14:06] <Andeh> mysterycool: sudo apt-get install qemu
[14:07] <mysterycool> ty :D
[14:07] <Roshan> filled void how do I run the command dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg
[14:07] <faileas> Andeh: in which case... its probably the camera. tried googleing to see if anyone else got it to work in linux?
[14:07] <Jockeo> ompaul: jrib and seeitcoming_ solved it for me. I should just press Ctrl+Shift+U and then type the unicode representation followed by Enter.
[14:07] <faileas> (If the camera dosen't work, no IM app in the universe can use it ;p)
[14:08] <ompaul> Jockeo, thanks ;-) I can remember that one (I hope)
[14:08] <Andeh> faileas: hmm..
[14:08] <Roshan> hi, I just intsalled my nvidia drivers, but my system can only run on low resolution :( . I get this error when i try to use nvidia x server settings, "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " Can anyone please help me? I've just installed ubuntu and I dont really know how to work my way around much.
[14:08] <nonix4> LimCore: Hmm... dependency on gnupg-agent & bad help file quality?
[14:08] <Andeh> Muelli: Does jabber support a drawing tool? And that the other person can contine working on the same drawing?
[14:08] <jrib> LimCore: I take it back, the version in 7.10 should include the fix.  Did you follow Scott Kitterman's suggestion in the comment before yours?
[14:09] <mysterycool> how do i install kqemu?
[14:09] <krim> Andeh: I *think* Coccinella has that
[14:09] <faileas> Andeh: which meant switching to jabber for video wouldn't have done shoit ;p
[14:09] <faileas> *shit
[14:09] <Andeh> krim: What is Coccinella?
[14:09] <mysterycool> how do i install kqemu?
[14:09] <krim> Andeh: A jabber client
[14:09] <Andeh> ah
[14:09] <LimCore> yey, I found a bug while reporting a bug.
[14:09] <IndyGunFreak> pidgin supports jabber, does it not?
[14:09] <Andeh> krim: lol, it isn't even in synapic
[14:09] <LimCore> a bug in ubuntu website (or in firefox)  - how to report it
[14:09] <Andeh> krim: synaptic*
[14:10] <mysterycool> how do i install kqemu?
[14:10] <faileas> mysterycool: apt has it for me
[14:10] <krim> IndyGunFreak: It does but I don't think its support is as good as that of a proper jabber client.
[14:10] <[adw]> mysterycool: xp in ubuntu?
[14:10] <IndyGunFreak> krim: oh ok, i don't really use it, i just seem to remember seeing it in the plugins
[14:10] <faileas> mysterycool: apt-cache search kqemu. if its there,sudo apt-get install (nameofpackage)
[14:11] <[adw]> mysterycool: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[14:12] <krim> Yesterday there was a fire in a server hall and some sites were down, then people said that they were back but I still can't connect to the servers, anyone know why this could be and how to solve it?
[14:12] <prince_jammys> ?
[14:13] <Andeh> hmm. can someone tell me more about jabber? afaik anyone can make their own jabber server
[14:13] <Andeh> *awkward silence*
[14:13] <faileas> Andeh: yup
[14:13] <krim> Andeh: Yup, anyone can do that. Jabber.org has a pretty nice user guide which you should read if you're interested
[14:13]  * faileas likes openfire
[14:13] <RB2> Andeh, http://jabberd.org/
[14:14] <Muelli> Andeh: sure. but ia m busy tright now -.
[14:14] <faileas> or you can use your gmail account, or LJ account to get on it
[14:14] <Muelli> Andeh: but there are dozens of good and fast servers out there :)
[14:14] <faileas> Andeh: you can. how easy/powerful it is depends on what server you choose
[14:14] <natlinuxnewb> !happy
[14:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about happy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:14] <Andeh> hmm
[14:15] <Andeh> so isn't there like a worldwide jabber network, or does it have horrible amounts of different servers like IRC?
[14:15] <faileas> krim: talk to the sysadmin
[14:15] <IndyGunFreak> Andeh: isn't there a jabber client in the repos, i'm almost sure there is.
[14:15] <faileas> Andeh: if you choose to federate, its transparent
[14:15] <Andeh> IndyGunFreak: It comes with Ubuntu. Pidgin :P
[14:15] <IndyGunFreak> Andeh: no, its a jabber stand alone.
[14:15] <prince_jammys> there are several jagger clients
[14:15] <faileas> like my old server could connect to googletalk users, or someone else
[14:15] <Muelli> Andeh: that's a feature: everything is independent, but sure they can interconnect.
[14:15] <faileas> but you need to enable it

[14:15] <spawn57> Hi, kubuntu has been crashing alot for me lately, and lately it's stopped booting up too.  Is there anything I can try doing?
[14:15] <theunixgeek> How do I add page numbers? :P
[14:15] <Andeh> Muelli: sweet :D
[14:15] <theunixgeek> in OpenOffice
[14:16] <krim> faileas: Everyone else seem to be able to connect to the sites, so I think the problem is in my computer.
[14:16] <Andeh> Muelli: And of course webcams work on it, and audio?
[14:16] <IndyGunFreak> spawn57: yes, ditch KDE.. :)
[14:16] <faileas> krim: still your admin would be able to help you
[14:16] <Muelli> Andeh: so noone can shut you down. If MSN decides to shut down, you can't use MSN anymore. If they decide to put a price on their services, you can't do anything about it. That does not apply to jabber.
[14:16] <faileas> IndyGunFreak: pfft
[14:16] <frederific> theunixgeek: click on insert, field, page number
[14:16] <prince_jammys> ubotu should have a !usingGoogle blurb
[14:16] <spawn57> IndyGunFreak: I'm hoping to ditch usplash first :P.  I wanna know why it's not booting
[14:16] <viktorious> hi can anyone tell me whats a gdm theme
[14:16] <krim> faileas: You mean the admin of my computer? That's me.
[14:17] <faileas> krim: of the network
[14:17] <theunixgeek> frederific: thanks :)
[14:17] <Andeh> Muelli: I know that. But can you make it support webcam, audio, and drawing? And is there a client that already does?
[14:17] <Muelli> Andeh: well, that's a bit tricky. It should, but I don't know a client which does it reliably.
[14:17] <Andeh> oh
[14:17] <Andeh> hm
[14:17] <krim> faileas: I'm not sure who that would be
[14:17] <IndyGunFreak> faileas: did i miss something?
[14:17] <Muelli> Andeh: drawing is done by Inkscape :)
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> viktorious: Login theme..
[14:17] <krim> faileas: The sites aren't mine or anything. I'm just trying to visit them.
[14:17] <faileas> IndyGunFreak: about KDE
[14:17] <frederific> theunixgeek: no probs. Obviously, you can click Insert>Footer>Default if you want the page number in the footer
[14:17] <Andeh> Muelli: Yes, but that's a lame retarded type of drawing IMO, and will never compare to even the simple collaborative drawing MSN has.
[14:17] <faileas> krim: website?
[14:17] <Muelli> Andeh: and since it's open and free, you can build yuur own application using jabber as well :)
[14:18] <faileas> might be DNS  propagation is sloe...
[14:18] <IndyGunFreak> faileas: lol, oh ok... sorry, my opinion always invades me on KDE questions..lol
[14:18] <Andeh> Muelli: yay, let's go learn C and do it right now! >_>
[14:18] <krim> faileas: For example http://bayimg.com/
[14:18] <Jack_Sparrow> viktorious: To change a gdm theme you drag and drop it into the Login Manager window's second tab
[14:18] <faileas> krim: ahh, just wait ;p
[14:18] <Muelli> Andeh: I don't know MSN nor Inkscape. But if it does't appeal to you, feel free to contact the devs of Inkscape :)
[14:19] <faileas> IndyGunFreak: understood. as someone who's mainly a windows user, the whole DM war amuses me ;p
[14:19] <Andeh> Muelli: Inkscape has nothing to do with this. I just want my webcam to work!!!
[14:19] <IndyGunFreak> faileas: lol
[14:19] <Muelli> Andeh: :P
[14:19] <artti> Anyone knows about fragmentation on Linux?
[14:20] <astro76> !defrag | artti
[14:20] <ubotu> artti: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed.
[14:20] <theunixgeek> frederific: how can I change page numbering options? Like, to make page 1 be number 0 and have page 1 have a different header?
[14:20] <pajamian> artti: you mean file fragmentation?  Generally speakign it's not a problem with Linux like it is in Windows.
[14:20] <faileas> artti: it tends to take care of itself
[14:20] <artti> Good to know. ;)
[14:21] <Andeh> Isn't it great how linux recognises my webcam, yet no programs can use it?
[14:21] <spawn57> get cheese
[14:21] <vimalv> any one wanna make money online?
[14:21] <krim> faileas: Did you mean 'wait I have the answer' or 'just wait for it to start working'?
[14:21] <krim> vimalv: Make me rich baby!

[14:22] <Jack_Sparrow> vimalv: This is not the place for that thanks
[14:22] <faileas> krim: the latter is the former. i think DNS hasn't propogated yet
[14:22] <nonix4> artti: I wouldn't recommend using any modern filesystem beyond 95% capacity - some of those fragmentation-fixing strategies start to fail when hd is nearly full
[14:22] <viktorious> can someone tell me how to install a gtk 2.x theme
[14:22] <krim> faileas: It's been like that since yesterday, isn't there a way to do it manually?
[14:22] <astro76> artti, nonix4 actually they say about 80% with ext3
[14:22] <theunixgeek> viktorious: drag it into the theme window
[14:22] <Enissay> i wanna install php4-mysql wich isn't in the repositories... i download it but i can't install it because it has dependencies with other files.... wich repository do i have to add to install this package and all of it's dependencies?
[14:23] <frederific> theunixgeek: I'm not sure on the numbering thing. You can make the first page have a different header by clicking Format>Page>Organiser and changing next style to "First Page", I think
[14:23] <prince_jammys> viktorious: Preferences->Appearance
[14:23] <faileas> krim: not really
[14:23] <faileas> Enissay: use a package manager
[14:23] <alexis> ciao
[14:23] <nonix4> astro76: well my personal strategy is buy-more-hd-at-50% but that seems to scare people off for reason or another
[14:23] <artti> astro76: so when my hard disk is filled about 80% then fragmentation start to fail?
[14:23] <viktorious> do i unzip it or just drag the zip
[14:23] <theunixgeek> viktorious: just the zip
[14:24] <faileas> Enissay:  its supposed to fix all that
[14:24] <pajamian> artti: it can fragment if it gets too full, yes.
[14:24] <frederific> theunixgeek: #openoffice.org might know better
[14:24] <theunixgeek> frederific: ok
[14:24] <artti> pajamina: i have my hard disk is 8GB
[14:24] <artti> pajamina: my hard disk is 8GB larga
[14:25] <artti> :)
[14:25] <astro76> artti: it all depends on the usage of that filesystem
[14:25] <viktorious> how do i find window border to match
[14:25] <theunixgeek> artti: that's old :P
[14:25] <theunixgeek> viktorious: did it work?
[14:25] <PeP`> hello, anyone know if KDE4 is integrated in the current iso of hardy alpha4, or is there a special iso with KDE4 ?
[14:25] <larryone> good morning sirs/madams
[14:25] <Decinoge> how can i know if a PNG is PNG8 or PNG32 under ubuntu? i'm never able to know for sure.
[14:25] <pajamian> heh, not many 8GB drives out there anymore.
[14:26] <Jack_Sparrow> viktorious: drag and drop the tar
[14:26] <frederific> PeP`: I believe it is, but I'm not sure
[14:26] <artti> theunixgeek: yes, it is old. That's why i started using Ubuntu. (Since friday)
[14:26] <astro76> Decinoge: file command, i.e. file image.png
[14:26] <viktorious> i did the theme worked but the window borders didnt not change coz of emerald
[14:26] <PeP`> frederific: oh actually I found jsut now... already searching for half an hour..
[14:26] <PeP`> thx
[14:26] <bazhang> #kubuntu-kde4 or #ubuntu+1 can likely answer that PeP`
[14:26] <frederific> PeP`: No problems, good luck with it
[14:27] <larryone> I have a quick wifi related question. lshw recognises the card, but it says DISABLED. there is a hardware switch for it on the laptop. does this mean i'm ok driver wise, and just need to fiddle with getting it enabled?
[14:27] <artti> Dam... ubuntu didn't upgrade.
[14:27] <PeP`> thank you bazhang
[14:27] <bazhang> np
[14:28] <Decinoge> thanks astro76, actualy this is a 2bit file... but it proves it
[14:28] <Decinoge> thanks
[14:28] <faileas> larryone: try the hardware switch first? ;p
[14:28] <pajamian> artti: well, linux filesystems avoid fragmentation by padding files with empty space at the end so they have room to grow.  If the hard drive gets too full then it has to use that empty space that was formerly used as padding to store new files and things start to fragment.
[14:28] <bazhang> larryone: is the switch set to on?
[14:28] <larryone> yes
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> artti: Whats the problem
[14:28] <bazhang> larryone: from startup or after
[14:28] <faileas> larryone: what card?
[14:28] <larryone> broadcom
[14:28] <natlinuxnewb> Why do my applications keep zooming to the top right seeming like they are opening then nothing happens? and how do i find out what apps are open?
[14:28] <artti> Jack_Sparrow: i did aptitude update and then aptitude upgrade and it didn't upgrada
[14:28] <artti> to 6.06
[14:28] <larryone> it does come up in the connections interface wherer I configure the settings
[14:29] <larryone> I've read that menas driver is probably ok
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> artti: Were you trying to get a newer release?
[14:29] <IdleOne> !upgrade | artti
[14:29] <ubotu> artti: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[14:29] <viktorious> is it coz of emrald theme manager my window borders wont change when i install a theme
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> artti: See the link and do distro-upgrade
[14:29] <larryone> I've nevre gotten it to work - so I suppose it's fromstartup =0)
[14:30] <artti> Jack_Sparrow: yes. 5.04 to 5.10 i got. But not from 5.10 to 6.06
[14:30] <pajamian> anyways, I'm heading to bed, goodnight
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> artti: see the link..  probably sources issue
[14:31] <artti> Jack_Sparrow: well i can look that link again
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> artti: You should consider a fresh install of Feisty or Gutsy
[14:32] <natlinuxnewb> Why do my applications keep zooming to the top right seeming like they are opening then nothing happens? and how do i find out what apps are open?

[14:33] <artti> Jack_Sparrow: i know, you aren't first who tell me that
[14:33] <larryone> it's a bcm943xx   does that make a difference?
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> artti: Tons of improvements.. But I understand
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> larryone: yes, huge difference
[14:33] <Enissay> faileas: i used adept, but he refuse to do that.... i push 'request install' with no result!!!  :(
[14:34] <faileas> Enissay: try apt?
[14:34] <larryone> ok
[14:34] <larryone> if it's visible in the connections window for the network config interface does that mean the driver is ok?
[14:34] <faileas> larryone: probably. try connecting to something? ;p
[14:34] <astro76> artti: I gave you the right command before, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:35] <larryone> ping fails
[14:35] <larryone> ...
[14:35] <BlackUnderground> hello
[14:35] <larryone> my other laptop is fine
[14:35] <artti> astro76: what about aptitude update...
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> larryone: I dont do much wifi, I have a couple 43xx that worked fine.  HAve not heard form anyone with 943 as to how they got it to work
[14:35] <astro76> artti: it should be the same but just stick with apt-get
[14:35] <larryone> ok
[14:35] <larryone> thanks Jack_Sparrow

[14:36] <faileas> Enissay: hmm, maybe its in the optional repos?
[14:36] <yy> Yet a switch-user into an LDAP account works fine
[14:36] <astro76> artti: the last of the three commands, the dist-upgrade, is the one that actually goes to the next ubuntu version
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !find php4-mysql
[14:36] <yy> its only on Ubuntu login
[14:37] <ubotu> Package/file php4-mysql does not exist in gutsy
[14:37] <bazhang> php5 already?
[14:37] <artti> astro76: but it is said that i should not use it to upgrada
[14:37] <astro76> artti: what?
[14:38] <artti> astro76: two upgrades i made without dist-upgrada
[14:38] <astro76> artti: I can't imagine how, upgrade just does the normal security type updates

[14:39] <astro76> Jack_Sparrow: yeah

[14:42] <bazhang> artti: probably not a wise idea
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> artti: Look into pinning and see if that is what you want

[14:48] <faileas> Mike1: you might be able to build it up starting from scratch
[14:48] <Seveas> Mike1, grab an ubuntu server cd

[14:49] <Seveas> Mike1, oh noes :)
[14:49] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: yes, but for which card
[14:50] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, like nividia 6800 or something
[14:50] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, i'd have to look
[14:50] <Mike1> okay, brb, starting into my lovely Lenny
[14:50] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: Understand the restricted drivers are only restricted in the sense that the source code is not available
[14:50] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, so if it is getting those drivers off the net...i should be fine?
[14:50] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: I runn a 6600, they work fine just enabling the restricted drivers from the pull down menu, dont get the ones from nvidia
[14:50] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, i wonder why they worded it so oddly
[14:51] <faileas> Seveas: does it? i thought you can chooe not to?

[14:53] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, i had gigs upon gigs in the trash
[14:53] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: another trick for space, burn the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to a cd or use aptoncd
[14:54] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, if i lose them?
[14:54] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: To make more free space

[15:00] <faileas> Jack_Sparrow: o0
[15:00] <dan> Faileas:  so it might be a CLI only thing?
[15:00] <faileas> dan: naw, it might just not have been added to the menu
[15:00] <Roshan> jack_sparrow can you give me that command again?
[15:00] <dan> I found the directory in /opt
[15:01] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, why in ER?
[15:01] <Aqua2> can someone tell me the best way to go about backing up my root partition??.... I want to play around with another build of program and don't want to dink up my current that's running fine.... so I want to be able to restore it back if it goes belly up!
[15:01] <prince_jammys> dsfwofsf2: maybe something along the lines of::   for myfile in *.wma; do newname="${myfile%.*}"'.wma';   command blah.....  $myfile $newname;done
[15:01] <prince_jammys> dsfwofsf2: two percent signs!!! not one
[15:01] <dan> in the directory there's 2 directorys (content plugins) a qt.conf, a launch browser.sh, and a big red entry.  I've never seen the red before.
[15:01] <Roshan> jacksparrow you there?
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: OT..  long story.. not me.. close friend..
[15:02] <Griever90> hi
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Roshan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  shold get you going.. be sure to setup your monitors v/h rates
[15:02] <Griever90> asd
[15:02] <frost0> huh
[15:02] <natlinuxnewb> night all
[15:02] <bazhang> Griever90: what is your question
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Roshan: use tab and accept defaults for anything you dont know
[15:02] <Griever90> nothing questions
[15:03] <Griever90> thanks ^^
[15:03] <dan> How do I run a .sh file?
[15:03] <dan> That's a bash script, amirite?
[15:03] <prince_jammys> dsfwofsf2:    for myfile in *.wma; do newname="${myfile%.*}"'.wav';   command blah.....  $myfile $newname;done  <-- try with a backed up copy and two percent signs (my client keeps chopping off one percent sign)
[15:03] <LjL> dan: bash filename.sh
[15:04] <dan> LjL thanks.
[15:04] <dan> It.....opened my web browser.

[15:04] <vi390> How can I install a Soundcard, if automatic recognition is not working ?
[15:04] <prince_jammys> dsfwofsf2: error?
[15:04] <KOSOVOisSRB> !sound | vi390
[15:04] <ubotu> vi390: 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
[15:05] <dan> if I run LS
[15:05] <dsfwofsf2> prince_jammys, might of done it wrong myself.
[15:05] <dan> what would a red entry with grey text indicate?
[15:05] <dan> stock, of course
[15:05] <silverblade> bit of a strange question... booting from the live cd, is there a way you can get/run VNC in order to allow a remote installation?
[15:05] <prince_jammys> dsfwofsf2: command "$myfile" "$newname" <---- quotes, in case of names with spaces
[15:05] <LeeJunFan> The 40G HD in my laptop is being recognized as only 8.5 during install, apparently LBA isn't being used - anyone know of a bootparam option for this?

[15:14] <steveire> Hi. I have a broken windows computer in front of me and I want to put ubuntu on it. It's currently used by about 5 people and they each have their own data. Does the installer import personal data from all windows accounts or just one?
[15:14] <gorthaug> bazhang: but the cd its ok, its works in others computers
[15:14] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, maybe you can give me command via terminal to delete that archives direcotry?
[15:14] <dataloss> faileas: I resized it last night (increased size). Everything seemed okay when I booted into Ubuntu, and then it mounted the filesystem as read only an hour later. Then I booted into the Live CD and did sudo fsck -y /dev/sda3. I can't mount it anymore
[15:14] <bazhang> mehmet you never gave a more precise description--what were you trying to do, what were the error messages--typing out a one or two line response would be helpful to all here
[15:15] <mehmet> i just told you
[15:15] <mehmet> i got the error message
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: you would change to that directory with cd and rm the files...   but try this first.. install thunar
[15:15] <mehmet> and then it froxe
[15:15] <mehmet> froze*
[15:15] <pranith> hello, i just installed ubuntu 7.10. was using 6.06 all these days. i dont find the always on top feature of totem. where is it?
[15:15] <bazhang> mehmet what precise error message--some people in here are using a cli based chat client and may not be able to access that link
[15:15] <maikeru> Hi there. I seem to have a problem printing documents. The system successfully identifies the printer as a "HP LaserJet 1018"-printer and it's possible to choose the printer in printing options in OpenOffice. However, when I press print, nothing happens at all. Any ideass?
[15:15] <maikeru> ideas*
[15:16] <_Oggie_> anyone have any experience with mounting a psp to ubuntu? I have an 8gb disk with free space, but ubuntu thinks there's no free space
[15:16] <foo> Any ops around? 07:16 <gouki> Talk to me, WHEN and IF I talk to you - trolling.
[15:16] <gouki> LOL
[15:17] <dataloss> ...

[15:17] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, is this a big  file?
[15:17] <bazhang> caps rhineheart_m
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: Smaller lighter file manager
[15:17] <steveire> Anyone know?
[15:17] <faileas> silverblade: apparently the cd has a vnc server installed ;p
[15:18] <silverblade> oh nice
[15:18] <david> puh
[15:18] <steveire> Hi. I have a broken windows computer in front of me and I want to put ubuntu on it. It's currently used by about 5 people and they each have their own data. Does the installer import personal data from all windows accounts or just one?
[15:18] <silverblade> however, i just realised a slight flaw in my plan
[15:18] <david> installing from linux (ISO) isn't a walk in the park the first time
[15:18] <prince_jammys> mehmet: paste the output of -->   ls -l .ICE*
[15:18] <silverblade> in the form that my parents pc doesnt have a cd drive. D'OH
[15:18] <bahr> Can someone recommend me a good editor for programming in ubuntu, there must be something better than gedit? I used to like UltraEdit, and Notepad++ under Windows
[15:18] <LjL> foo, can you please join #ubuntu-ops?
[15:18] <frost0> steveire, i'm not an extremely experienced ubuntu user...but i've never heard of ubuntu important settings and data?
[15:18] <tarvid> steveire, time to back up personal data
[15:18] <faileas> silverblade: can you talk them through it?
[15:19] <dataloss> How do I recover my ext3 partition?
[15:19] <silverblade> faileas: probably but i need to back up files first
[15:19] <mehmet> prince_jammys:  -rw------- 1 mehmet mehmet 3536 2008-02-17 09:53 .ICEauthority
[15:19] <silverblade> and i cant remember the spec of the pc to begin with
[15:19] <frost0> steveire, importing*
[15:19] <steveire> yeah, sure I can do a backup. It's not my computer. I just want all current users to be easily able to use it.
[15:19] <tarvid> steveire, if you compress the windows partition to make room for Ubuntu, you can get at the windows file system
[15:19] <frost0> steveire, you can make them all accounts
[15:19] <steveire> I think it has a virus, so it was given to the nearest computer guy
[15:19] <prince_jammys> mehmet: ok that's fine
[15:20] <faileas> you could use wubi or ubootin ( http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html has links to both) to start an install from windows
[15:20] <steveire> I'm talking about automatically importing their bookmarks, yahoo account, email settings etc
[15:20] <prince_jammys> is it safe to "rm .ICEauthority" ??
[15:20] <frost0> steveire, not a feature?
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: He is trying to import user settings during the install
[15:20] <steveire> frost0: Really? I was sure it was
[15:21] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, is that a feature?
[15:21] <faileas> silverblade: in which case wubi might be perfect
[15:21] <silverblade> faileas: wubi?
[15:21] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: Yes, I know it will do one, not sure if it will do multiple as I have not tried
[15:21] <frost0> steveire, it seems i'm wrong....carry on.. :)
[15:21] <mehmet> prince_jammys:  what?
[15:21] <frost0> steveire, listen to the experienced guys :)
[15:22] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: You would not see the option if you do not dual boot
[15:22] <faileas> silverblade: its an app that does an install to a disk image within a windows file system
[15:22] <steveire> OK, well I'd still like to find someone who actually knows. I've not installed it in a long time
[15:22] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, i have thunar now
[15:22] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: gksudo thunar
[15:22] <silverblade> faileas: hmm, does it boot on its own?
[15:22] <faileas> tp://sourceforge.net/projects/wubi/
[15:22] <faileas> yup
[15:22] <faileas> http://sourceforge.net/projects/wubi/
[15:22] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, fast...nice.....now what?
[15:22] <silverblade> will it erase Windows? lol
[15:23] <faileas> no
[15:23] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: delete those files
[15:23] <prince_jammys> mehmet: http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=511300
[15:23] <faileas> but you can use that to bootstrap a 'real' ubuntu install without a disk too
[15:23] <silverblade> good.
[15:23] <_mug> hey
[15:23] <silverblade> they have some virusy crap on the pc i want to remove
[15:23] <Jack_Sparrow> frost0: I am fading, need some sleep, you should be ok from here, if not lots of help is around
[15:23]  * faileas notes the only issue is if you wanna go to a real install as opposed to a image based one, resizing will be an issue remotely
[15:23] <frost0> Jack_Sparrow, got it...your help is greatly appreciated...get some rest :)
[15:23] <AfroRowan> hi people
[15:24] <AfroRowan> i have some problems with my ubuntu
[15:24] <steveire> I guess I'll get a cd and try it out.
[15:24] <operator2> hello.
[15:24] <_mug> i have a windows xp running in a vmware server (ubuntu/gnome as host) how can i copy and paste between ubuntu and windows? the vmware server console has an "edit"-menu containing copy, paste etc, but it doesnt work
[15:24] <_mug> any hints?
[15:24] <silverblade> faileas: so how exactly does that work?
[15:25] <faileas> silverblade: grub loopmounts a disk image in the drive
[15:25] <vi390> i have installed a sound driver with modprobe snd-als100, Isnt that added to alsa, so I can controll it from the Audio Sound menue ?
[15:25] <operator2> oh what glory! my cdrom drive on ubuntu gutsy has absconded with itself!
[15:25] <faileas> its a little fragile, but it works ok
[15:25] <silverblade> hmm, sounds a bit messy
[15:26] <faileas> silverblade: hardly
[15:26] <silverblade> does it boot into a ramdisk?
[15:26] <faileas> no
[15:26] <faileas> it boots into an image
[15:26] <bsdnewb07> where are the nameservers set in ubuntu?
[15:26] <natlinuxnewb> would you believe it? I am experiencing extreme amounts of horror at the moment. I am unable to log into my WinXP machine. I create this Ubuntu to put backups of my WinXP data in and now...i can't. My wifell kill me. =-O
[15:26] <silverblade> ok.. i was hoping to format the drive once in it
[15:26] <_mug> bsdnewb07: /etc/resolv.conf
[15:26] <bsdnewb07> cool, thanks
[15:27] <faileas> silverblade: http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php#internals
[15:27] <Beryllium> Is there any way I can remotely tell a machine running SAMBA to do a local file copy between two of its network shares? (I don't have shell access to this particular machine, just samba access)
[15:27] <faileas> silverblade: in your situation it might be the best option anyway
[15:27] <operator2> ye CD-ROM drive does not mount.  does not appear.  claims "no medium found."  claims "unable to mount" "does not exist."  avast!
[15:27] <silverblade> yeah, i can conveniently edit boot.ini and remove windows after lol
[15:28] <faileas> silverblade: er no
[15:28] <faileas> you talk them through repartitioning it (there's a howto)
[15:29] <silverblade> ah
[15:29] <silverblade> that was my point...
[15:29] <faileas> then use LVPM to move it over to a real partition
[15:29] <faileas> THEN kill windows
[15:29] <dataloss> How do I recover my ext3 partition?
[15:29] <foo> How would I go about getting the latest video card drivers install on my system? Looks like 7.10 didn't install the latest and greatest
[15:29] <silverblade> ohhh
[15:29] <david> seems so many dataloss are you a familiar linux user or a windowsperson?
[15:29] <david> -seems so many
[15:29] <david> :B
[15:29] <silverblade> but where is the "virtual" drive...? surely its on the drive we'd be repartitioning?
[15:29] <faileas> silverblade: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html
[15:30] <dataloss> david: Not very experienced
[15:30] <silverblade> thus it'd go "wtf where am i?"
[15:30] <faileas> thats why you use another app to do it
[15:30] <faileas> the howto there was what i used ;p
[15:30] <silverblade> WUBI, LUBI...?
[15:30] <silverblade> lol
[15:30] <operator2> shall any brave knights harken to the cry, and join in the quest for a lost cd-rom drive damsel in distress?
[15:30] <faileas> LUBI is WUBI for linux silverblade
[15:30] <silverblade> O_o
[15:30] <faileas> ubootin is an almost universal netinstaller that can start from windows
[15:30] <savvas> operator2: dungeon seige is the door on your right :p
[15:31]  * faileas notes its the repartition thats the issue
[15:31] <faileas> operator2: Try mounting it again ;p
[15:31] <operator2> savvas open door on right
[15:31] <gorthaug> bazhang: there was RAM problems.... dont work 2 RAM slots

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[15:37] <ArthurArchnix> Hi... when my laptop wakes from sleep the sound doesn't work. I have to mute/unmute it using my function keys on the laptop. I wanted to write a script to do this automatically. But while experiementing I found that although I could mute the sound (amixer -D set Master mute) I could not unmute it. I have to physically mute and unmute again with fn keys.
[15:37] <Syxx> should i try reinstalling it?
[15:37] <r_rehashed> hi all. is there a program that will keep changing wallpapers regularly for ubuntu?
[15:38] <operator2> prince_jammys paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56371
[15:38] <Seveas> r_rehashed, yes, try drapes for instance
[15:38] <faileas> Syxx: the java plugin, yes
[15:38] <Syxx> ok
[15:38] <Syxx> !java
[15:38] <r_rehashed> ok

[15:38] <visik7> I've a problem with gdm
[15:38] <visik7> it starts in the wrong monitor
[15:39] <ArthurArchnix> If I use the amixer GUI, it's the same thing. I can mute it, but I can't unmute it. I have to use the function keys on my laptop keyboard.
[15:39] <silverblade> faileas: can Wubl be installed w/o a password? for default
[15:39] <ArthurArchnix> It's an intel ICH8 HDA card... any guesses as to what's going on here?
[15:40] <jaras> when i open a program i can't see the top where u can drag the window anyone know why?
[15:40] <prince_jammys> pasting here for everyone::  /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0       0  <-- and an identical line with /dev/scd1
[15:40] <operator2> thank you, oh gracious jammys
[15:40] <faileas> silverblade: you can set a  password and user while installing
[15:40] <prince_jammys> operator2: mmm that line differs in no way from mine except for the exec option
[15:40] <r_rehashed> Seveas: how can i change the default brown colour background?
[15:40] <faileas> from windows
[15:41] <faileas> never tried blank
[15:41] <prince_jammys> operator2: you have two drives?
[15:41] <silverblade> faileas: ok... once thats done and its installed, does it have VNC enabled by default?
[15:41] <ryan__> jaras, are you using compiz/emerald?
[15:41] <operator2> ay.  her sister is still in my sites prince_jammys
[15:41] <faileas> silverblade: er... no idea
[15:41] <silverblade> its kinad essential ;) lol
[15:41] <faileas> silverblade: you probably can talk them through it, or send them a script that does it? ;p
[15:41] <r_rehashed> Seveas: if i have a small pic as a wallpaper then the default background colour is brown. i want to change that
[15:42] <rocape> hola
[15:42] <DranDane> Hi. i just installed Ubuntu. My wifi router and intranet works fine but I can't go on the web. I selected "Direct Internet connection" in the proxy settings. Do you have an idea of what is wrong?
[15:42] <ryan__> r_rehashed, set your background as a solid color, change the color, then set a background image
[15:42] <jaras> ryan__, yes
[15:42] <prince_jammys> operator2: and what happens when you type    mount /media/cdrom0   (with a cd in the drive)
[15:42] <silverblade> ok im gonna get her downloading that for the moment
[15:42] <ryan__> jaras, in a terminal type 'emerald --replace & ; exit'
[15:43] <rocape> alguien me puede explicar como ver sistema ,administración,gestor de paquetes synaptic
[15:43] <rhineheart_m> !webmin
[15:43] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.
[15:43] <r_rehashed> ok
[15:43] <r_rehashed> oh yaeh, thanks
[15:43] <prince_jammys> !es | rocape
[15:43] <ubotu> rocape: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[15:43] <ryan__> the '  ; exit' is so it closes the terminal but doesnt close your emerald window decorator
[15:43] <rhineheart_m> !ebox
[15:43] <ubotu> ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See the plans for Hardy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EboxSpec
[15:43] <operator2> fair prince_jammys, for the time that is, it hangs.
[15:43] <silverblade> rofl i just tried to search apt-cache and forgot i was on gentoo
[15:43] <prince_jammys> operator2: no error message, nothing?
[15:44] <marcusdegrote> hello, i want tot install my raid card can anybody help me with that?
[15:44] <operator2> nay, prince_jammys, nothing.
[15:44] <ryan__> silverblade, /usr/portage/distfiles :P
[15:44] <frost0> if i'm running a game and it has an executable for i386 and x86 which one do i use?
[15:44] <zardosht> Hi, How can I find the IP addresses that connected to my computer, and programs that made connection outside?
[15:44] <silverblade> ryan__: im trying to find out the package name on ubuntu lol
[15:44] <faileas> frost0: i386, x86 is 64 bit
[15:44] <LjL> zardosht: connect*ed* in the past? you can't, unless the programs themselves log
[15:44] <ryan__> silverblade, which package?
[15:45] <frost0> faileas, thx
[15:45] <operator2> prince_jammys at last a response.  "mount: no medium found."
[15:45] <silverblade> ryan__: vnc server
[15:45] <WTFtooManyNicks> geez
[15:45] <WTFtooManyNicks> So many  Nics in use
[15:45] <operator2> i call into the emptiness
[15:45] <zardosht> LJL: no current connection
[15:45] <prince_jammys> operator2: mount /media/cdrom1
[15:45] <rhineheart_m> IS this true that webmin is not supported by the latest ubuntu version?
[15:45] <LjL> zardosht: man netstat
[15:45] <prince_jammys> operator2: have cds in both drives so we can eliminate that
[15:45] <LjL> !webmin | rhineheart_m
[15:45] <ubotu> rhineheart_m: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.
[15:46] <operator2> behold!  a sign - before i issued that command, and after "no medium found," suddenly: "You have inserted a blank disc.  What would you like to do?  Ignore / Make DVD.'
[15:46] <Ayabara> I compiled alsa 1.0.16 on my system, but it didn't quite work out.. anyone with an idea how I can remove it again?
[15:46] <frost0> faileas, have you any experience with kde on windows?
[15:46] <silverblade> faileas: actually would it have a ssh daemon?
[15:46] <frost0> faileas, i heard about it recently...it would really spruce up the windows box
[15:46] <operator2> i had done nothing at all between issuing the initial mount /media/cdrom0
[15:46] <rhineheart_m> How about ebox? has it all the features webmin offers? or...which is better of the two?
[15:47] <prince_jammys> operator2: interesting
[15:47] <LjL> !nickspam > __TJ__    (__TJ__, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:47] <operator2> aye.  we have a ghost!
[15:47] <ryan__> silverblade, ubuntu has a vnc server built in - under System > Preferences > Remote Desktop
[15:47] <operator2> could it be a failure in ye hardware?
[15:47] <faileas> frost0: the apps... need work
[15:47] <silverblade> ryan__: even in Wubi?
[15:47] <faileas> as does the installer
[15:47] <prince_jammys> operator2: and you had inserted a blank cd?
[15:47] <faileas> silverblade: wubi IS ubuntu ;p
[15:47] <operator2> or, rather, a weakness in ye hardware?  i.e. it might kick in or it might not.
[15:47] <operator2> aye.
[15:48] <silverblade> faileas: ok ok fair enough ;) lol
[15:48] <operator2> but not in the inbetween time
[15:48] <palpate> thx it works nicely with pan ;)
[15:48] <operator2> i had done nothing between "no medium found" and the sudden appeareance
[15:48] <palpate> now i need  a windows live client anyone know about it ?
[15:48] <palpate> for gnome
[15:48] <ryan__> silverblade, tightvncserver, x11vnc, vncserver, and vnc4server are alternatives
[15:49] <zardosht> LjL: ok thanx, with nestat -p can find the program PID, but with which switch the IPs that connected to my computer from outside.
[15:49] <frost0> faileas, k thx
[15:49] <ryan__> !wubi
[15:49] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[15:49] <prince_jammys> operator2: hardware problem is possible - i don't see anything wrong with your setup otherwise - but i'm not an expert
[15:49] <faileas> er
[15:49] <faileas> the link needs to be updated
[15:49] <LjL> zardosht: netstat -l will do that
[15:49] <operator2> prince_jammys thanks.  any other opinions?  and what of the "exec" line in my fstab?
[15:49] <foo> Any ideas how to get compiz standalone working on ubuntu ?
[15:49] <linabhi> hi i have realtek hda on my system
[15:50] <__TJ__> Alright so how are you guys doing?
[15:50] <LjL> !ot | __TJ__
[15:50] <ubotu> __TJ__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[15:50] <linabhi> i have installed alsa pakages
[15:50] <linabhi> but when i type alsamixer it says alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[15:50] <linabhi> my sound does not still work on ubuntu
[15:50] <palpate> i know there was a msn yahoo etc client but cant remember the name
[15:50] <prince_jammys> operator2: if you want to mess with that, you could (don't delete the original lines, just put a # at the beginning)
[15:50] <LjL> palpate: pidgin?
[15:50] <operator2> thank you prince_jammys
[15:51] <silverblade> im gonna go try wubi in a vmware session

[15:51] <Saif> hi everything
[15:51] <mik3> how can i reinstall my 'sound driver'
[15:51] <prince_jammys> operator2: things to try would be: a) remove exec b)remove one of the lines and keep scd0 only
[15:51] <palpate> okok im trying this i already got it !! :p
[15:51] <linabhi> my sound does not still work on ubuntu

[15:51] <operator2> konquer!
[15:52] <Nitroray> Can somebody help me ?
[15:52] <prince_jammys> operator2: yw, let us know if it got fixed and how
[15:52] <LjL> !ask | Nitroray
[15:52] <ubotu> Nitroray: 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. :-)
[15:52] <Saif> what is this UBUNTU???
[15:52] <zardosht> LjL: but netstat -l just display the port that is being used, not the IP addresses
[15:52] <LjL> !ubuntu > saif    (saif, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:52] <bazhang> ask away Nitroray
[15:52] <jpatrick> !ubuntu > Saif
[15:52] <LjL> zardosht, what about the "Foreign address" column?
[15:52] <Nitroray> ok
[15:52] <Nitroray> busy with typing...
[15:52] <palpate> ok it works thanks ;)

[15:53] <__TJ__> Alright guys
[15:53] <__TJ__> I need help with something
[15:53] <__TJ__> My SMB shares simply refuse to work and I have no idea why.
[15:53] <LjL> zardosht: try netstat -a -l
[15:54] <Saif> ubuntu like a KDE?
[15:54] <LjL> Saif: ?
[15:54] <LjL> Ubuntu uses GNOME, Kubuntu uses KDE. if that is your question.
[15:54] <Nitroray> Hello all, does anybody know why i cant change my screen resolution higher as 800*600 ? Because first i was able to. But i don't know what i did wrong. (now i cant press some buttons because i cant small them neither, i need a higher resolution please somebody (Y) )
[15:54] <zardosht> LjL: still nothing !
[15:54] <__TJ__> Does anyone know how I can completely uninstall and reinstall it? Or something to return it to default settings?
[15:54] <Saif> oh thanks
[15:55] <__TJ__> Nitroray, did you do any video card changes or any system updates lately?
[15:55] <Nitroray> Yes
[15:55] <__TJ__> Yes what? Both?
[15:55] <Saif> i have linux mandriva. its ubuntu or kubuntu???
[15:55] <Nitroray> I got one for NViDia
[15:55] <Nitroray> both
[15:55] <LjL> zardosht: are you sure you *have* any incoming connections?
[15:55] <mrtsunami> Saif, Mandriva is an entirely different distribution
[15:55] <faileas> Saif: different distro, they have their own channel
[15:55] <LjL> Saif: Mandriva is another distribution.
[15:55] <Nitroray> i got this OS todady installed...
[15:55] <ryan__> Nitroray, under System > Administration > Restricted Driver Manager, what does it say there?
[15:55] <Nitroray> *today
[15:56] <prince_jammys> Saif: ubuntu:gnome  kubuntu:kde
[15:56] <__TJ__> Ok, did you start having these issues after the video card change or after the system update or what?
[15:56] <Nitroray> Checking..
[15:56] <Nitroray> after the updates.
[15:56] <prince_jammys> Saif: xubuntu:xfce
[15:56] <__TJ__> Wait, you just installed Ubuntu today, right?
[15:56] <prince_jammys> Saif: same distribution, different desktop managers
[15:56] <bazhang> saif likely kde for mandriva but offtopic here
[15:56] <ryan__> Nitroray, if you're using NVidia, you're going to need closed drivers maybe to get better resolutions
[15:56] <Nitroray> I cant see Restricted Driver Manager (im on Ubuntu 7.10)
[15:56] <zardosht> LjL: yes cause I have opened some webpages, and chating with you, so perhaps I connected to some server
[15:57] <Nitroray> but i can see it like an icon
[15:57] <rhineheart_m> can anybody give me a link that would guide me on how to install ebox for ubuntu server? Thanks a lot
[15:57] <Nitroray> is that also okay ?
[15:57] <Saif> i dont know anything but thank to all
[15:57] <__TJ__> Click on it, what do you see?
[15:57] <Ar435> Hi. I dual booted Windows XP and Ubuntu (Feisty Fawn) on my laptop a while back. I just formatted the partition Ubuntu was installed on, and now GRUB won't work. Can anybody help me out?
[15:57] <prince_jammys> saif #mandriva
[15:57] <ryan__> Nitroray, yes, that's what you're looking for - after updates, click on that icon to enable the NVidia driver
[15:57] <mrtsunami> !mandriva > Saif
[15:57] <ryan__> Nitroray, it will download, install for you
[15:58] <soundray> Ar435: you have to boot from a Windows install disk and repair the boot sector. Best to ask for help in a Windows channel.
[15:58] <Nitroray> shizzle.. where to find Restricted Drivers again, (Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop Edition)
[15:58] <LjL> zardosht: those are outgoing, not incoming as you asked... but anyway, they should still be there. try « netstat -a -l | grep irc », does that show anything?
[15:58] <Syxx> !flash
[15:58] <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
[15:58] <tarvid> how do I tell which sound system is running?
[15:58] <ryan__> Nitroray, System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager
[15:59] <Syxx> how do i uninstall the flashplugin
[15:59] <zardosht> LjL: works thanks :D
[16:00] <mrtsunami> Syxx, it depends how you installed it originally
[16:00] <linabhi> hi i  realtek hda audio and it does not work in ubuntu
[16:00] <Ayabara> is it good practice to enable proposed and backports?
[16:00] <Nitroray> Its not under there i cant do System > Administartion > Restricted Drivers Manager ( i only see Keyring.. Network Tools.. Printing.. System Log.. Sytem monitor.. and Update Manager)
[16:00] <LjL> Ayabara: no
[16:00] <bazhang> Ayabara: risky
[16:00] <shade052> how do i format my usb pen drive from the prompt
[16:00] <Syxx> i installed with with sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[16:00] <soundray> Syxx: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree', then do a 'locate libflashplayer.so', and if that still finds files, delete them with 'sudo rm'
[16:00] <Syxx> with the*
[16:00] <Ayabara> LjL, bazhang, ok. I'm having sound issues on my laptop, so I'm grasping for straws :-)
[16:00] <zardosht> LjL: but why I cant see all the connections IP through the list?
[16:01] <LjL> Ayabara: backports are usually safe, but still less thoroughly tested than the main repositories. you should enable them if you really know you want them. if you want one single program from backports, you can install just that program. proposed can be very buggy, as they're packages that are published so that they can be *tested*.
[16:01] <Nitroray> Ryan_ : Its not under there i cant do System > Administartion > Restricted Drivers Manager ( i only see Keyring.. Network Tools.. Printing.. System Log.. Sytem monitor.. and Update Manager)
[16:01] <olie_> Hi all. When I run "iwlist scan" I can not see my network. How can it be? I see plenty other nets, and my net is broadcasting its essid since I see it from another laptop? Help!!! Thx.
[16:01] <LjL> zardosht: uh? i think you can.
[16:01] <LjL> zardosht: what i see is: tcp        0      0 ljlbox.ljlnet:47976     calvino.freenode.n:ircd ESTABLISHED
[16:02] <LjL> zardosht: this means it's a TCP connection, from my port 47976, to the address calvino.freenode.net (this is the address), on the irc port (6667)
[16:02] <ryan__> Nitroray, are you logged in as a user in the administrator group?
[16:02] <Ayabara> LjL, ok.
[16:02] <prince_jammys> Nitroray: type in terminal:   restricted-manager
[16:02] <dalgar> greetings all
[16:02] <frost0> is Miro legal?
[16:02] <Nitroray> Mhh... have almost all access except the installing new software one..
[16:02] <soundray> frost0: yes
[16:02] <LjL> Ayabara: and when i say "buggy", i meant they can break the rest of the system (especially APT)
[16:02] <Nitroray> im not root atm
[16:02] <frost0> soundray, how so?
[16:02] <frost0> soundray, in the us
[16:02] <Itaku> how come firefox loads the page but it doesnt show the page
[16:02] <Nitroray> Prince-jammys Thanks
[16:03] <ryan__> Nitroray, try 'sudo restricted-manager'
[16:03] <ryan__> in terminal
[16:03] <mrtsunami> Itaku, you're going to have to be more specific about the page :)
[16:03] <prince_jammys> Nitroray: yeah sudo
[16:03] <Ayabara> LjL, I'll stay away for now. Maybe compiling alsa 1.0.16 will fix my issues
[16:03] <Itaku> i search for how to disassemble an elf file in google
[16:03] <Itaku> i click a result
[16:03] <Nitroray> Failed to run /usr/bin/restricted-manager as user root.
[16:03] <Nitroray> The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[16:03] <frost0> soundray, would you recommend miro?
[16:03] <aeleon> how do i forward ports in ubuntu? is that even a plausible question?
[16:03] <zardosht> LjL: and I got "tcp        0      0 89.165.77.213:51646     brown.freenode.net:ircd ESTABLISHED" but when execute netstat -a -l I cant get the IPs, just port
[16:03] <Itaku> it does all the transfering and receiving and waiting stuff
[16:03] <iamasmith> Can anybody point me at any docs regarding the structure of a driver disk? I want to make one with a patched via82cxxx driver.
[16:03] <Itaku> and then it says done at the bottom
[16:03] <mrtsunami> Itaku, if other pages work, it's probably a problem with the page itself
[16:03] <soundray> frost0: I haven't tried it
[16:03] <Itaku> but not showing the page
[16:03] <prince_jammys> Nitroray:    can your user sudo?
[16:03] <aeleon> i'm running a vpn and i want to make sure the ports i've forwarded in my router go to my client.
[16:03] <frost0> soundray, but it is legal?
[16:04] <Itaku> mrtsunami: its not working with about every other page
[16:04] <frost0> soundray, that is all i wanted to know i guess :)
[16:04] <frost0> soundray, it just seems too good to be true.
[16:04] <bazhang> aeleon: same as with every other system--use a browser to connect to your router and forward them
[16:04] <Nitroray> Well.. im trying to login change my restrictions.. now
[16:04] <LjL> zardosht, if you add the "grep" part, you're simply filtering the output to the single like that's about IRC. the output is otherwise the very same
[16:04] <Ayabara> Anyone with an XPS M1530 about?
[16:04] <LjL> zardosht: the line that you see when you type "netstat -a -l | grep irc" *is there* also when you just type "netstat -a -l"
[16:04] <ryan__> Nitroray, after you change your permissions, that's the place you'll need to find it - hope that helps
[16:04] <Nitroray> ok
[16:05] <Nitroray> what was the app called again ?
[16:05] <aeleon> bazhang: i do that. I'm using my client's browser to connect to my server's router, yeah, and i've forward the ports, but when I use utorrent's portchecker, for example, it says it's closed.
[16:05] <soundray> frost0: it's just software.
[16:05] <bazhang> aeleon: this is under wine?
[16:05] <prince_jammys> Nitroray: restricted-manager (just type restricted and tab will autocomplete)
[16:05] <aeleon> no. my client is vista, my server is ubuntu.
[16:05] <aeleon> using openvpn.
[16:05] <soundray> frost0: just because you can use a thing to do something illegal, it does not make that thing itself illegal.
[16:05] <dalgar> can anyone help me with getting my printer working ?
[16:05] <aeleon> i'm on ff on vista , though, if that saves any grace. :x
[16:06] <Nitroray> ok
[16:06] <ryan__> Nitroray, restricted-manager if you're using a terminal to run it, otherwise it can be found via the menus by System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager
[16:06] <prince_jammys> !anyone | dalgar
[16:06] <ubotu> dalgar: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[16:06] <bazhang> aeleon: I think I see the problem ;]
[16:06] <Viktorious> how do u get recycle bin on desktop
[16:06] <bazhang> aeleon: starts with a 'V' ;]
[16:06] <frost0> soundray, i don't want to do anything illegal....i have no idea how i would on this.....so, i would have to go out of my way to do illegal things?
[16:06] <aeleon> ^ bazhang
[16:06] <jrib> !icons > Viktorious (read the private message from ubotu)
[16:06] <aeleon> oh, stop, though, bazhang.
[16:06] <aeleon> because i can't do anything about it
[16:07] <havok73> Can anyone recommend (based on stability) a DVD player for Gutsy? Im running an Intel X3100 graphics chipset and compiz (ya I know its blacklisted)
[16:07] <dalgar> I have a brother FAX-2440c and installed the latest drivers from Brother, but when I try to print I get a obtuse error:  "Error printing"
[16:07] <bazhang> aeleon: this may not be the best place to ask for that--not sure how many 'v****' users there are around here
[16:07] <jrib> havok73: software?  gxine, ogle, vlc, mplayer, and totem should all work fine.  Try them and use what you like
[16:07] <Merc> anyone know how to turn off the shadows that maximized windows cast on panels below?  it doesnt seem top be affected by the "Shadow widows" setting which deals with drop shadows...
[16:07] <Syxx> how to a make a firefox icon appear on my desktop instead for in the panel
[16:07] <Syxx> do*
[16:07] <Merc> in compiz
[16:08] <aeleon> but the problem isn't with vista.
[16:08] <AutoMatriX> dalgar, try a new sport : Brother-trhrowing
[16:08] <bazhang> aha
[16:08] <aeleon> necessariy.
[16:08] <aeleon> necessarily*
[16:08] <prince_jammys> Syxx: drag it from the menu to the desktop
[16:08] <soundray> frost0: look, if you're that scared, you should get paid advice from a lawyer.
[16:08] <Aqua2> folks.... if I'm about to go messing around with something that I KNOW could break my system but I wanted to make a full backup of root so I can get it back the way it was if I need to... what's the best way to go about doing a full backup of my root partition??
[16:08] <frost0> soundray, true.
[16:08] <havok73> jrib: tried gxine, mplayer, and totem couldnt get em to work, only one I had a little luck with was kaffiene, but it froze up xwindows after about 10 mins
[16:09] <Itaku> how do you disassemble elf files?
[16:09] <jrib> !dvd > havok73 (read the private message from ubotu)
[16:09] <jrib> havok73: did you do that?
[16:09] <jrib> Syxx: just drag it onto your desktop from your panel
[16:09] <zardosht> LjL: but but is it possible to list all the IPs and ports, the way that "netstat -na" in windows does?
[16:09] <Nitroray> I cant login as ROOT
[16:09] <LjL> zardosht: netstat -l -a -n
[16:09] <havok73> jrib: ya
[16:10] <LjL> !root > Nitroray    (Nitroray, see the private message from Ubotu)

[16:10] <frold> Howto import a .pst into a mail client in Ubuntu....? I tried thunderbird but wasnt able seems like I can only import from "Communicator 4.0"
[16:10] <jpatrick> !bot > MedBook
[16:10] <jrib> havok73: what happens exactly when you try gxine for example
[16:10] <Itaku> you can change the root password tho...
[16:10] <prince_jammys> Nitroray: you don't need to login as root, you just have to log in as an admin user (ie.  one who can sudo)
[16:10] <LjL> Itaku: but that's definitely not recommended.
[16:10] <havok73> jrib: It started up but it was like it could spin up the dvd
[16:11] <soundray> !info readpst | frold
[16:11] <Itaku> i changed it
[16:11] <jpatrick> !noroot | Itaku
[16:11] <bazhang> frost0: this is about the restricted drivers that you have concern?
[16:11] <jrib> havok73: did you get an error?
[16:11] <LjL> Itaku: your computer, your choice.
[16:11] <ubotu> frold: readpst (source: libpst): Converts Outlook PST files to mbox and others. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.2-1 (gutsy), package size 55 kB, installed size 192 kB
[16:11] <ubotu> Itaku: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)
[16:11] <frost0> bazhang, no...its about miro
[16:11] <havok73> jrib: nope
[16:11] <prince_jammys> \msg ubotu
[16:11] <Itaku> ill be here 24/7
[16:11] <bazhang> frost0: miro is perfectly fine and aboveboard
[16:11] <LjL> Itaku: you don't sleep?
[16:11] <mrtsunami> prince_jammys, try the forward slash :)
[16:11] <Itaku> i do but i dont sleep much
[16:12] <frost0> bazhang, i see on the guide like discovery channel and stuff? what's up with that
[16:12] <Itaku> and my computer is right next to my bed
[16:12] <Itaku> and i never turn off
[16:12] <bazhang> frost0: they allow it so no worries
[16:12] <Ar435> That's hardly 24/7 then, is it?
[16:12] <Itaku> its like
[16:12] <zardosht> LjL: still just ports no Ips, thank you anyway :)
[16:12] <Itaku> 18/7
[16:12] <frold> soundray thanks: Howto use it and howto install it...?
[16:12] <frost0> bazhang, my worry is if i do something illegal accidentilly
[16:12] <Itaku> now how do you disassemble an elf file?
[16:12] <frost0> accidentally*
[16:12] <jrib> havok73: did you try other DVDs?
[16:12] <LjL> zardosht: seems like an IP to me: tcp        0      0 192.168.0.2:47976       213.92.8.4:6667         ESTABLISHED
[16:13] <prince_jammys> mrtsunami: thanks :)
[16:13] <soundray> !software > frold, please read the private message from ubotu
[16:13] <bazhang> frost0: that is silly--miro is no way illegal not even close to it
[16:13] <havok73> jrib: no just one, but it worked in kaffiene for a bit
[16:13] <Itaku> crap i cant get opera working
[16:13] <LjL> Itaku: apt-cache search disassemble?
[16:14] <frost0> bazhang, but, it has bittorrent which i know is not illegal in it self..but idk...
[16:14] <bazhang> frost0: then do not use the torrent client
[16:14] <_mug> hargh the smell of a laserprinter in the evening.. :)
[16:14] <Itaku> There is no matching application available.
[16:14] <bazhang> frost0: but we are waaaay offtopic now ;]
[16:14] <wyclif> hey everybody
[16:14] <jrib> Itaku: well, first, what does "apt-cache policy libdvdcss2 | grep -i Installed" return?
[16:15] <Aqua2> anyone know a good way to do a full image/backup of my root partition??
[16:15] <Itaku> Installed: none
[16:15] <artti> It's so boring. Still upgrading.
[16:15] <LjL> Itaku, there are lots of applications matching "disassemble"
[16:15] <LjL> !find disassemble | Itaku
[16:15] <ubotu> itaku: Found: mono-utils
[16:15] <jrib> Itaku: ack, wrong person, sorry
[16:15] <prince_jammys> Itaku: check your repositories, i show several disassemblers
[16:15] <jrib> havok73: well, first, what does "apt-cache policy libdvdcss2 | grep -i Installed" return?
[16:15] <Itaku> i used add/remove programs
[16:15] <ryan__> Aqua2, on a live CD, run 'dd if=/dev/sda1 of=backup.img'
[16:15] <LjL> Itaku: and ubotu is lying, there is plenty more.
[16:15] <_mug> Aqua2: boot knoppix or something and dd
[16:15] <ryan__> Aqua2, if sda1 was your partition
[16:15] <LjL> Itaku: Add/Remove Programs shows a tiny subset of applications (mainly, the ones with a GUI)
[16:16] <LjL> Itaku: do try apt-cache search disassemble.
[16:16] <artti> Does anyone say something interesting. ;)
[16:16] <Aqua2> dd?
[16:16] <LjL> !ot | artti
[16:16] <ubotu> artti: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[16:16] <_mug> Aqua2: type man dd
[16:16] <bazhang> artti: all the time in #ubuntu-offtopic ;]
[16:16] <Itaku> ok now i know that
[16:16] <artti> Thanks.
[16:16] <Itaku> now how do i code C++?
[16:16] <Nitroray> Guys, i can sudo, but what is the command in the terminal as sudo, to make myself admin ????
[16:16] <havok73> jrib:1.2.5.-1
[16:16] <mrtsunami> Itaku, with a text editor?
[16:16] <LjL> Itaku: should ask in ##c++
[16:17] <bazhang> Nitroray: same
[16:17] <_mug> Aqua2: but dd will backup even the empty diskspace
[16:17] <Itaku> lol...
[16:17] <Itaku> 2 #'s?
[16:17] <Nitroray> bazhang: what ya mean ?
[16:17] <LjL> Itaku: yes
[16:17] <Aqua2> yup... don't care about that
[16:17] <_mug> Itaku: by learning it :P
[16:17] <bazhang> Nitroray: sudo is what you need in the terminal as well
[16:17] <Aqua2> it compresses it though right?
[16:17] <_mug> no
[16:17] <Itaku> ...
[16:17] <vi390> how do I handle the error AFD changed from -2 to -1 on Totem, when Playing DVDs. I want to play region 2 DVDs, and have set that in totem, but still get the error
[16:17] <frost0> bazhang, so, i can subscribe to discovery channel legally?
[16:17] <Nitroray> bazhang: How to make my user account admin/root/sudo now ?
[16:18] <_mug> Nitroray: sudo su -
[16:18] <jrib> havok73: eject your disc and insert it again and pastebin the output you get from 'mplayer dvd://1'
[16:18] <vi390> its says encrypted DVD support unavailable, but what Now ?
[16:18] <LjL> !rootshell | _mug, Nitroray
[16:18] <ubotu> _mug, Nitroray: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous)
[16:18] <bazhang> frost0: sure
[16:18] <frost0> bazhang, can i watch them off of discoveries website or something also?
[16:18] <bazhang> vi390: libdvdcss2 from www.medibuntu.org
[16:19] <bazhang> frost0: no idea
[16:19] <frost0> bazhang, then where do they get this video?
[16:19] <frost0> bazhang, i don't mean to be rude...i just want to make sure :)
[16:19] <Itaku> is there a way to make an mirc script do terminal commands?
[16:19] <havok73> jrib: pastebin?
[16:19] <Nitroray> !sudo
[16:19] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[16:19] <bazhang> frost0: care to join #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[16:19] <jrib> !paste > havok73 (read the private message from ubotu)
[16:19] <Kelvin> !sudo
[16:20] <LjL> Itaku, why would we support mIRC...?
[16:20] <anders> how can i open a port ?
[16:20] <Itaku> how do i run mono-utils?
[16:20] <anders> i cant  find anything about it?
[16:20] <LjL> anders: open a port?
[16:21] <anders> yes
[16:21] <sixpence> How would I go about downgrading flashplugin-nonfree
[16:21] <faileas> Itaku: MIRC is windows only
[16:21] <sixpence> ?
[16:21] <vi390> bazhang: thats what I already did > install totem-xine libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3
[16:21] <soundray> anders: you run software that responds to incoming requests on that port
[16:21] <Itaku> faileas: wine
[16:21] <anders> i see that all ports are supose to be open
[16:21] <faileas> Itaku: with a native client /exec would work methinks
[16:21] <anders> yes soundray
[16:21] <bazhang> vi390: you need to get the package from the link I gave you
[16:21] <Itaku> EXEC Unknown command
[16:22] <LjL> Itaku: *native* client.
[16:22] <sixpence> How would I go about downgrading the flashplugin-nonfree package?
[16:22] <Itaku> how do i run mono-utils?
[16:22] <soundray> sixpence: you would do a 'sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree', then you can install an older version with dpkg -i
[16:22] <Mik1> damn, xubuntu is fat :(
[16:22] <soundray> sixpence: I have to admit I can't see the point of it, though
[16:23] <Itaku> !language | Mik1
[16:23] <ubotu> Mik1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[16:23] <sixpence> soundray: dpkg -i ?
[16:23] <havok73> jrib: ok I think I did it
[16:23] <anders> soundray im trying to run a eggdrop but the port wont listen
[16:23] <soundray> sixpence: indeed
[16:23] <Mike1> roger that, ubotu!
[16:23] <anders>  Couldn't listen on port '8493' on the given address. Please make sure 'my-ip' is set correctly, or try a different port.
[16:23] <anders> hm ?
[16:23] <cdubya> I have a serious problem....I had setup my laptop (compaq c751) with Ubuntu on a dual-boot with Vista......and through a tirade of events I now cannot get ubuntu's LiveCD to even boot this system. I can't get Vista to boot either as it says there's an error loading winload.exe. I need to get this drive fixed back up, but I am at a loss for how to repair it at this point. Ideas?
[16:23] <LjL> sixpence, soundray: downgrading flashplugin-nonfree will *not* result in Flash actually being downgraded, because all that package does is fetch the latest version from the Adobe site
[16:23] <Itaku> how do i run mono-utils?
[16:24] <LjL> anders: normal users can only listen on ports >1024
[16:24] <soundray> LjL: which is why I'm saying I can't see the point (sixpence)
[16:24] <sixpence> soundray: Where do I get the .deb for dpkg?
[16:24] <Indiadev_Techie>  cdubya: is the live c bootin ???
[16:24] <anders> ok LjL thanks i will try
[16:24] <sixpence> Oh..
[16:24] <soundray> sixpence: what are you hoping to achieve?
[16:25] <sixpence> soundray: To downgrade Flash
[16:25] <sixpence> To another version
[16:25] <soundray> sixpence: why?
[16:25] <Indiadev_Techie>  cdubya: is tha live cd bootin ????
[16:25] <sixpence> soundray: Because the current version I have is buggy.

[16:25] <soundray> sixpence: how can you tell that it's buggy?
[16:25] <vi390> bazhang: Ok
[16:25] <cdubya> Indiadev_Techi, no
[16:25] <Indiadev_Techie>  cdubya: did u try the system recovery console in vista ???
[16:25] <cdubya> it fails
[16:25] <sixpence> soundray: Because I can only play one video per session and it freezes.
[16:26] <cdubya> can't get to it
[16:26] <havok73> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56376/
[16:26] <Indiadev_Techie>  cdubya: oh i see....
[16:26] <cdubya> That's why I'm really at a loss for what to do
[16:26] <marko85ujk> Has anyone managed to install Speedtouch 330 on Ubuntu 7.10?
[16:26] <Ptolemaios> how much space should i give my root partition?
[16:26] <Indiadev_Techie> did u check it with some other live cd os...
[16:26] <marko85ujk> 2gb recommeneded
[16:26] <cdubya> Is there any means to fix the mbr via a liveCD that would do this?
[16:26] <sixpence> So yeah, how do I downgrade flash?
[16:27] <erUSUL> !adsl | marko85ujk
[16:27] <ubotu> marko85ujk: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[16:27] <Indiadev_Techie> Ptolemaios: what u total hd capacity ???
[16:27] <soundray> sixpence: what evidence do you have that a) this is a bug and not a misconfiguration, and b) downgrading would help?
[16:27] <amenado> cdubya shutdown your machine and check your bios, is it supposed to boot from CD first?
[16:27] <jb1> Channel, I have a problem with my gnome desktop taking FOREVER (and I mean like 20+ minutes) to go from login accepted to usable desktop.  What logs/files/etc could I look at to determine where my hangup is?  My system is responsive (going to another terminal [ctrl+alt+f1] runs perfectly, just of course with no desktop manager)
[16:27] <sixpence> soundray: Listen, i'm not going to go through it again, i've done the BT and I know what I have to do.
[16:27] <cdubya> I booted an XP install disk and tried to use it, but it said there are no hard drives available
[16:27] <Ptolemaios> Indiadev_Techie: 400gb
[16:27] <Itaku> none of the dis assemblers from apt-cache search disassemble work
[16:27] <amenado> cdubya-> check your bios first
[16:28] <marko85ujk> jb1: Check out your /var/logs
[16:28] <marko85ujk> jb1: Check out your /var/log
[16:28] <soundray> sixpence: you've done the BT? What's that?
[16:28] <ryan__> jbl, when you're in another terminal, run 'top' to see what processes are running
[16:28] <sixpence> soundray: Backtrace
[16:28] <Indiadev_Techie> then u can easily set 20-40 or 60 for root (/) n 2-4 gb for swap....
[16:28] <soundray> sixpence: you have a misconfiguration.
[16:28] <nerdsquad3210> is it possible that my pc isnt able to boot from usb even if theres the option in the bios ?
[16:28] <sixpence> soundray: How's that?
[16:29] <wickedsmaat> Does Ubuntu 7.10 support DVD-Burners?  How About Blu-Ray???  I've looked online and am having trouble finding an answer, hoping this will help.
[16:29] <frost0> if i cancel a download in an application in ubuntu (miro) where will it go? is it in the temp and removed? it is big enough that i am concerned ...
[16:29] <Indiadev_Techie> Ptolemaios: then u can easily set 20-40 or 60 for root (/) n 2-4 gb for swap...
[16:29] <amenado> nerdsquad3210-> yes its possible

[16:30] <jb1> marko85, ryan :  ok... /var/log/ that narrows it down to a few hundred....When doing top, I see top as my most active process, and then a small amount on my other processes (99% idle, load average of .01).  No thrashing going on
[16:30] <ryan__> wickedsmaat, I'm not sure what you mean by that
[16:30] <frost0> soundray, miro
[16:30] <cdubya> amenado, I'm confusd about how tat will help
[16:31] <wickedsmaat> RYAN__ =>  Panasonic, Toshiba, Asus . . . etc, etc.
[16:31] <amenado> cdubya are you sure your laptop should boot from cdrom 1st? can you verify?
[16:31] <havok73> jrib: there?
[16:31] <ryan__> jbl, if there's no thrashing, then it might be choking on a config file - create another user with a clean directory and see if it still has a problem
[16:31] <jrib> havok73: yep, I am now
[16:31] <soundray> sixpence: your problem description suggests that there is more than one plugin installed that attempts to handle flash.
[16:31] <amenado> prodigel-> easy...your desktop is running ubuntu right?
[16:31] <havok73> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56376/
[16:32] <sixpence> soundray: Mmm.
[16:32] <ryan__> wickedsmaat, I think it supports almost all burners
[16:32] <cdubya> amenado, I know it boots cd first
[16:32] <prodigel> yes
[16:32] <prodigel> amenado: yes
[16:32] <wickedsmaat> Okay, great.  thanks.
[16:32] <jrib> havok73: try 'mplayer -vo x11 dvd://1'
[16:32] <sixpence> soundray: Is there an argument I can pass to aptitude to list all installed packages?
[16:32] <amenado> cdubya verify
[16:32] <soundray> frold: sorry, I don't think I can help you with that
[16:32] <frost0> bazhang, how do i kill firefox-bin?
[16:32] <frold> thanks anyway
[16:32] <marko85ujk> jb1: Look to see what error messages you get in the /var/log/messages... restart apache services and monitor those three files
[16:32] <soundray> sixpence: sure, but I suggest you look at about:plugins in firefox  first
[16:32] <marko85ujk> jb1: then see what error messages you come up with.
[16:32] <jb1> ok.  I'll log into the desktop as clean user with a clean profile.
[16:33] <frafu> Hello, I am installing ubuntu on a computer with an ethernet card and a wifi card. I have configured a static ip for the wired connection to my router; but internet does not work: it seems that ubuntu tries to connect through the wireless connection, but my router does not have wifi.
[16:33] <amenado> prodigel what is the nic name towards the ppoe internet? whats the name toward your client? eth0? eth1?
[16:33] <cdubya> amenado, I did
[16:33] <ac3> hi
[16:33] <amenado> cdubya-> and now insert your liveCD disk and boot
[16:33] <prodigel> amenado: eth1  goes to internet eth0 to the laptop
[16:33] <lordleemo> sixpence: i had same problem with flash i solved it by uninstalling gnash
[16:33] <prodigel> amenado: no sorry the other way :D
[16:34] <frafu> How can I disable wifi and use the wired connection in Ubuntu?
[16:34] <havok73> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56377/
[16:34] <Indiadev_Techie>  cdubya: may u went terribly wrong somewher....
[16:34] <amenado> prodigel-> be acurate now, ill give you wrong advise if  I get wrong info
[16:34] <dokaya> lordleemo => i have problem with flash.. but i reinstall the flash manually
[16:34] <vncd_> frohike,    killall firefox-bin
[16:34]  * marko85ujk Anyone managed to get Speedtouch to work with Ubuntu?
[16:34] <frost0> soundray, how do i clean up temp in ubuntu?
[16:34] <dokaya> gnash was really slow and very annoying
[16:34] <jrib> havok73: and nothing happened?
[16:34] <Mike1> is it possible to list installed packages by size?
[16:35] <amenado> dokaya  which web browser?
[16:35] <sixpence> soundray: Well how do I get to that sort of a dialog?
[16:35] <prodigel> amenado: eth0 goes to net and eth1 goest to laptop. Also ppp0 is the one with the internet
[16:35] <amenado> frost0-> just cd /tmp;  then start rm -rf filestodeleteordirectory
[16:35] <havok73> jrib: correct
[16:35] <lordleemo> sixpence: check what plugins you have m8 i had to many installed so they ended up blocking each other
[16:36] <sixpence> lordleemo: Where do I check that?
[16:36] <amenado> prodigel-> type this,  ifconfig -a;  route -n   and paste it to pastebin please
[16:36] <dokaya> amenado : firefox
[16:36] <headb0y> hi, recently i tried to auto-mount a usb ntfs formatted drive. first it didnt work and then it suddenly appeared. now it is gone again. what should i do?
[16:36] <jrib> havok73: try dvd://2 dvd://3 etc.
[16:36] <soundray> frost0: best to set TMPTIME to something nonzero. Cleanup will then be done for you at boot
[16:36] <soundray> frost0: edit /etc/default/rcS
[16:37] <amenado> dokaya did you put the libflashplayer.so at  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ? or /usr/lib/firefox*/plugins ?
[16:37] <ac3> i just did an apt-get dist-upgrade on my hardy heron and firefox was upgraded to version3. But now every webpage seems zoomed. pressing ctrl+- twice renders the webpage back to normal, but the firefox menus are still zoomed (even the tabs and the icons)
[16:37] <dokaya> don't know when i used non flash-free player, it was extremely slow down my computer, then i remove it, and install flash from adobe
[16:37] <soundray> sixpence: you enter 'about:plugins' as the URL in firefox
[16:37] <dokaya> yes
[16:37] <marko85ujk> headb0y: did you try unhide option in grub?:D
[16:37] <leeping2008> Hi there, I'm trying to compress an image of my hard drive (250GB), and the image is 32 GB in size.  However, I believe that the compression isn't efficient, because I only have <1GB of data on the drive.  How do I improve the compression??
[16:37] <Mik1> how are they able to make xubuntu-live-cd so small?
[16:37] <lordleemo> sixpence: synaptics search flash plugins etc etc thats how i did it
[16:37] <ac3> is there a fix for this?

[16:38] <havok73> jrib: hmm dvd 2 seems to be playing let me check it out a sec
[16:38] <frost0> soundray, then set what to what?
[16:38] <Indiadev_Techie> leeping2008: wht software do u use for compression..
[16:38] <leeping2008> Indiadev_Techie: I use gzip with the -9 option
[16:38] <sixpence> soundray: I have application/futuresplash and shockwave flash
[16:38] <Mike1> jrib: is it possible to use that on a "normal" system?
[16:38] <havok73> jrib: it plays a little clip then exits
[16:38] <soundray> frost0: TMPTIME to a reasonable time in days. I tend to set 10
[16:38] <lufis> KDE 4 is in hardy's repos right?
[16:38] <jrib> Mike1: try aptitude search with a custom -F.  See: http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/ch02s04s01.html.  I don't know what you mean by your last question
[16:38] <ac3> lufis: yes
[16:39] <marko85ujk> !help ubuntu 7.10 speedtouch
[16:39] <jrib> havok73: yeah, dvd://2 only plays chapter 2 of your dvd
[16:39] <dokaya> amenado have you ever use HSDPA modem in ubuntu ?
[16:39] <havok73> jrib: looks like its exiting without error tho, just the thing Im playing is a small clip
[16:39] <soundray> sixpence: were you listening to lordleemo?
[16:39] <leeping2008> Would it help if I wrote zeros in all of the free space?
[16:39] <amenado> prodigel-> does your client have an assigned ip address yet? what ip address will you assign to it?
[16:39] <havok73> jrib: dvd 3 worked too, just a different small clip
[16:39] <dokaya> amenado => i try to stop hal and plug my hsdpa usb modem, first time i can connect to internet
[16:39] <sixpence> soundray: Yes...
[16:39] <dokaya> but second and till now i can used it anymore
[16:40] <amenado> dokaya-> whats a HSPDA is that for the cell fone?
[16:40] <jrib> havok73: what video card do you have?
[16:40] <Indiadev_Techie> leeping2008: u can fiddle with other compression softwares.....
[16:40] <prodigel> amenado: net ip is allocated dinamically
[16:40] <havok73> jrib: intel x3100 (965)
[16:40] <dokaya> yes.. cellfone modem,
[16:40] <prodigel> amenado: the others are fixed
[16:40] <vncd_> vncd, hi
[16:40] <dokaya> amenado => right now i use bluetooth to connect to my phone and dial up to the internet
[16:40] <amenado> prodigel-> i meant client as your laptop, what is the ip address assigned?
[16:40] <jrib> havok73: ah don't know anything about intel cards.  If you had nvidia, I'd recommend the nvidia binary drivers to get hardware acceleration
[16:40] <prodigel> amenado: 192.168.2.2
[16:40] <soundray> sixpence: I would remove that futuresplash thing
[16:41] <havok73> jrib: its an integrated chip =\
[16:41] <leeping2008> Indiadev_Techie, I'll try.  However, I think there must be a way to write zeros to the free space to facilitate the compression..
[16:41] <graft> hey y'all - does anyone whether i can play movies to an apple-tv box from ubuntu somehow?
[16:41] <sixpence> soundray: I can't find the package name. BRilliant.
[16:41] <dokaya> amenado => i use option driver. and some time my ubuntu can detect the usb_storage from this modem, but some times it won't
[16:41] <Indiadev_Techie> leeping2008: try 7zip, kgb achiever
[16:41] <sixpence> soundray: Can I remove plugins from inside Firefox?
[16:41] <amenado> prodigel is your laptop connected now? ping it, ping 192.168.2.2
[16:42] <dokaya> and till now, i can connect to internet using my modem
[16:42] <dokaya> (_,_')
[16:42] <prodigel> amenado: yes it is. And it responds
[16:42] <leeping2008> Indiadev_Techie, thanks :) I will try those
[16:42] <graft> or is there any way to run itunes on linux?
[16:42] <prodigel> amenado:  also desk reponds to pings from laptop
[16:42] <tacone> hello. I have a problem in the italian support channel. it's something about a desktop trash icon pointing to / instead of the trash folder. I am looking for a way to reset the setting.
[16:42] <amenado> dokaya but that has nothing to do with flashplugins
[16:42] <Indiadev_Techie> leeping2008: google them up...bro...
[16:42] <soundray> sixpence: no, you have to delete the plugin lib (or move it  to a place that firefox doesn't check for plugins)
[16:43] <amenado> prodigel->  from your laptop can you ping your desktp 192.168.2.1 ?
[16:43] <Indiadev_Techie> leeping2008: kgb achiever is gr8...
[16:43] <fs_> Problem: Ubuntu + Apache2 + mod_perl. Apache error.log: "(12)Cannot allocate memory: couldn't create child process:" what could be the reason? Trying to run perl scripts, two or three first ones work but after that the memory is full and I get error message.
[16:43] <prodigel> amenado: Yes I can! :)
[16:43] <dokaya> no amenado => this is another case
[16:43] <jrib> tacone: is the trash icon listed when the person does 'ls -l ~/Desktop' ?
[16:43] <amenado> prodigel so where is the issue? can your laptop then ping www.yahoo.com ?
[16:43] <Indiadev_Techie> leeping2008: also check uharc
[16:43] <prodigel> amenado: no I cannot :(
[16:43] <amenado> dokaya well you switched on me, i dont know what you were speaking of then
[16:43] <graft> tacone: is it gnome or kde?
[16:44] <soundray> sixpence: I mean, if you have installed it through firefox, you *can* probably remove it through firefox as well
[16:44] <sixpence> soundray: The thing is, I can't find this futuresplash thing anywhere on my box.
[16:44] <prodigel> amenado: somewhere routing is missing or badly configured
[16:44] <tacone> graft: gnome
[16:44] <amenado> prodigel simple   sudo "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
[16:44] <leeping2008> Indiadev_Techie, even if the compression software is much better than gzip or bzip2, it can't compress a 32GB file into <1GB .. I believe that the compressor is trying to compress random bits in the free space
[16:45] <soundray> sixpence: what's the name of the plugin lib as reported by firefox?
[16:45] <graft> tacone: shucks, can'thelp much
[16:45] <sixpence> soundray: http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?image=200802171142511280x1024cu2.png <-- There
[16:45] <amenado> prodigel-> then sudo "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE"
[16:45] <tacone> jrib: I am asking for that.
[16:45] <tacone> thanks anyway graft
[16:46] <amenado> dokaya so what is the other case?
[16:46] <sixpence> soundray: Also, at the bottom of totem, there is an flv listing.. Odd.
[16:46] <camilla> Am looking for a program that can help me with bash scripting. Like a IDE that correct me in realtime when I do something wrong in my code. Any recommendations?
[16:46] <robcalewar> I ran the fixmbr without realizing what I was doing, how can I reinstall grub?
[16:46] <soundray> sixpence: that's fine -- it's just two types  of content handled by libflashplayer.so
[16:46] <Indiadev_Techie> leeping2008: Hey bro, try Kgb Achiever.... it compressession ratio is unbelieveable...but u will need 1 or more than 1gb ram...for kgb....
[16:46] <soundray> sixpence: any gnash or other flash handler when you scroll down further?
[16:47] <amenado> camilla-> please visit #bash but what you're asking is impossible, it has to be executed first
[16:47] <leeping2008> Indiadev_Techie, there's 8GB of ram on these machines :) I'll try the program, thanks
[16:47] <amenado> prodigel-> have I lost you?
[16:47] <artti> Should i install postfix?
[16:47] <sixpence> soundray: No.
[16:48] <guillaume_> Has anyone played with bluetooth headset like jabra with ubuntu ?!
[16:48] <prodigel> amenado: no sorry. I wast trying it ...
[16:48] <soundray> camilla: the /topic of the #bash channel has some interesting links -- check there
[16:48] <Indiadev_Techie> leeping2008: :)-;-)-8-)
[16:48] <mrtsunami> !anyone | guillaume_
[16:48] <ubotu> guillaume_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[16:48] <prodigel> amenado: it works now thanks.
[16:48] <roe_> has anyone set up ubuntu to be a PDC?
[16:48] <amenado> prodigel-> works good?
[16:48] <prodigel> amenado: I was having another script with maquerading but was masquerading for ethx not ppp0 since there I have a router not direct connection
[16:49] <tacone> jrib: No, it's not listed
[16:49] <prodigel> amenado: I'll change my script to fit current needs
[16:49] <artti> I have postfix configuration? What i select?
[16:49] <guillaume_> I would like to talk with someone that has played with bluetooth headset under ubuntu Like the jabra headset !
[16:49] <Indiadev_Techie> leeping2008: 8GB wow bro...k...what do u do wid these monster machines...
[16:49] <amenado> prodigel-> you have described your network wrong earlier, but i can figure out from the paste you made
[16:49] <prodigel> amenado: still ... the thing with ip_forward file I'm curios. I don't have that in the script but since now it worked ok without it.
[16:50] <prodigel> amenado: Now I had to do sudo su for the echo to work
[16:50] <artti> Can someone help me with postfix?
[16:50] <sixpence> soundray: Yep, go gnash
[16:50] <prodigel> amenado: just sudo echo ... didn
[16:50] <amenado> prodigel-> it was not a file you set to 1
[16:50] <prodigel> amenado: just sudo echo ... didn
[16:50] <prodigel> amenado: just sudo echo ... dIdn't do the job
[16:50] <jrib> prodigel: how does he know it is /?
[16:50] <soundray> sixpence: you *do* have gnash?
[16:50] <prodigel> jrib: ?
[16:51] <Mike1> jrib: damn, i don't understand the aptitude howto you gave me -_-
[16:51] <sixpence> soundray: No.
[16:51] <soundray> sixpence: what do you mean then?
[16:51]  * Mike1 is stupid :(
[16:51] <sixpence> soundray: You asked if i had it
[16:51] <jrib> tacone: how does he know it is /+
[16:51] <sixpence> soundray: I said no
[16:51] <jrib> prodigel: sorry

[16:52] <soundray> sixpence: "Yep, go gnash" is a strange way of saying that

[16:56] <soundray> sixpence: did you ensure you removed any remnant libflashplayer.so instances?
[16:57] <artti> PriitM, terekest.

[16:59] <PeP`> Hello... Is installing a command-line system and typing "sudo apt-get install kde4-core xserver-xorg xfonts-base" enough to give me a functional kde4 only kubuntu installation?

[17:02] <Indiadev_Techie> artti: english ???
[17:02] <xkt> njm,nhl
[17:02] <soundray> sixpence: okay, then you have to ask for help downgrading again. I won't do it, because I can't see how that would fix anything.

[17:18] <enzo> re

[17:18] <bazhang> misteralexander: check ubuntuforums; you might also ask to run a livecd at the store--see if they let you
[17:18] <enzo> yes no problem now bazhang, all works !
[17:18] <bazhang> misteralexander: this is external? or internal
[17:18] <enzo> now the hard thing, make it work with a bridge ...

[17:18] <misteralexander> It's internal
[17:18] <misteralexander> the sony website is:  http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&productId=8198552921665195701&langId=-1

[17:20] <sepi4> no help here
[17:20] <bazhang> aha misteralexander then ubuntuforums would be my best guess--that and google turn up over 90% of my issues
[17:20] <soundray> Hilikus: always let it install the new version. It will save a backup of the configuration with a .dpkg-old extension.
[17:20] <Hilikus> soundray thanks

[17:21] <^root^> bazhang, how?
[17:21] <soundray> Bad_boy: that's bad news unfortunately. Something is badly wrong with your system. If it was mine, I'd do a reinstall.

[17:24] <Miele> hello
[17:24] <soundray> Bad_boy: or is it reasonably fresh anyway?
[17:24] <psyber> hello, anyone got time for a quick wine question?
[17:24] <Bad_boy> soundray:  do i need these java stuffs, re-installing no problem, all my data are on dvd back up
[17:24] <prince_jammys> !anyone | psyber
[17:24] <btl> I installed the GCJ Java plugin for Firefox (through firefox on Gutsy), and it says it installed fine but when I load a page with a java applet there's just a blank area where the applet is, but nothing happens. Anyone have any suggestions?
[17:24] <ubotu> psyber: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[17:24] <solexious> [Q] Are cron jobs run as root?
[17:24] <Bad_boy> soundray:  yesterday,
[17:25] <psyber> prince_jammys:  cute
[17:25] <Miele> {Q} Has anyone experience with cisco vpn client on ubuntu 7.10??
[17:25] <soundray> Bad_boy: I can't tell you whether or not you need java or not. Certainly, java installation does not usually wreck systems like that.
[17:25] <david> I just got myself another 512MB RAM, rendering in total of 1024MB. There's no reason to use 686-kernel or anything like that right? (reading random sites on the web suggests this which I doubt)
[17:25] <logan_> Where do I find my firefox profiles folder? I am trying to transfer all my bookmarks and settings.
[17:26] <psyber> OK, so I just tried to install a program w/ win and something went screwy.  Now I want to remove it, but the uninstaller will not work.  Is there a way for me to just manually remove the files from the wine directory and reinstall?
[17:27] <prince_jammys> psyber: your "fake" C drive in wine is located in your home at .wine/drive_c
[17:27] <Bad_boy> soundray: this is the 2nd time in 2 days. This is a new pc, quad 4GB ram, I thin
[17:27] <prince_jammys> psyber: i have had trouble uninstalling also
[17:27] <psyber> prince_jammys: can I remove the installed files form that fake drive w/out messing anything else up?
[17:27] <kane77> can I change the default file manager?
[17:27] <brobostigon> logan_: normally a hidden folder in your home directory
[17:27] <mx-zoom> hello. does anyone know a program to change icons separately, instead of just using another iconset, I want for example to change only the folder icons, etc
[17:28] <logan_> I went to view > show hidden files and there are no additional folders visible in home
[17:28] <psyber> prince_jammys: simply rm-r the directory w/out any problems?
[17:28] <prince_jammys> psyber: no
[17:28] <prince_jammys> psyber: which directory? just the program you mean?
[17:28] <mannytu> !hidden files
[17:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hidden files - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:28] <Bad_boy> soundray:  wireless keyboard failing now,  will migrate t 32 bits ubuntu, instead f 64 bits
[17:28] <brobostigon> logan_: /home/username
[17:28] <psyber> prince_jammys: yes, the application's directory
[17:28] <logan_> ok thanks
[17:28] <soundray> Bad_boy: very annoying -- I'd do some serious burn-in testing with it. memtest86 is good, and there is a disk thrashing program in the smartmontools package
[17:28] <prince_jammys> psyber: that should work -- back up drive_c just in case
[17:29] <soundray> Bad_boy: 64bit is no less stable than 32 -- I use 64 on all my machines.
[17:29] <Miele> any_one??
[17:29] <psyber> prince_jammys:  ok thx.  Just wanted to make sure it would not mess up wine.
[17:29] <mannytu> "ctrl-h" to see hidden files....
[17:30] <solexious> [Q] Are cron jobs run as root?
[17:30] <prince_jammys> psyber: think of it as your C drive in windows ... the thing is that there are entries in the fake Windows Registry for that program .... but try and see.  it should only affect that individual program

[17:34] <Miele> does someone no why cisco vpn client module not want to compile?
[17:35] <david> there's no reason to use 686 kernel for 1GB+ systems right?
[17:35] <psyber> prince_jammys: thx.. that seemed to help
[17:35] <prince_jammys> psyber: good
[17:35] <bazhang> dishayu: heh I meant is this a desktop computer?
[17:36] <dishayu> oh
[17:36] <dishayu> yeah
[17:36] <soundray> Bad_boy: the menu that comes up first thing when you boot your machine. You may have to hit Esc to see it.
[17:36] <T_f_c> i can ping www.google.com but firefowx cannot load www.google.com, it can load  page  when i type ip address

[17:37] <brobostigon> david: you should be fine with 1gb ram with the i386/x86 kernel
[17:37] <prince_jammys> psyber: i have this stupid quicktime that won't go away if i uninstall -- after the uninstall process it says Thanks for Installing Quicktime!!!  lol eventually i just deleted it.
[17:37] <dishayu> no sir... i have been using it on 1280 x 1024 since 3 years till yesterday on windows xp...
[17:37] <orsi> hello. my microphone input is very quiet and nothing seems to raise the volume.
[17:38] <orsi> is anybody familiar with this situation?
[17:38] <david> brobostigon: there's no reason for me to use 686-kernel? (pentium M 1.6GHz "oldie")
[17:38] <psyber> prince_jammys: LOL i hate using quicktime
[17:38] <bazhang> dishayu: and trying to change the settings results in nothing? what resolution are you on now? and what does the restricted drivers manager say about what card you are using? the nv or the nvidia?
[17:39] <psyber> prince_jammys:  I am trying to get SPSS to install but it is being a pain
[17:39] <giusef> hi, in which file can I put daemons (ie /etc/rc.conf...) ?

[17:39] <david> ok, I have 386 now I gather
[17:39] <Elda> Need help :s I just installed XP over my Vista install (on that partition) as it used less resources.... but now grub is no longer coming up... how would I get it to work again?
[17:39] <dishayu> bazhag : the restricted drivers i installed were the ones which ubuntu found itself... they are NOT from nvidia's website.. could that be a problem??
[17:39] <erUSUL> giusef: what daemon?
[17:39] <david> ah
[17:39] <Elda> As I have it dual booting Ubuntu and now XP
[17:39] <brobostigon> david: x86, i386, and 686 mean the sdame
[17:40] <danbhfive> Elda: you need the ubuntu cd
[17:40] <david> david-laptop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[17:40] <Elda> Kk, would I have to perform a complete install? :s
[17:40] <dishayu> i am on 1024 x 768 right now.. and there is no higher resolution listed
[17:40] <david> yeah I just saw :)
[17:40] <bazhang> dishayu: no that would not be an issue as I use the same drivers
[17:40] <giusef> erUSUL, tor

[17:40] <quaal> is it possible to have gnome power management or something else turn an external monitor off after a certain amount of time
[17:40] <david> thanks for clearing it up brobostigon
[17:40] <david> reading older posts confuses us noobs ;)
[17:40] <Elda> Oh wow, thanks :D
[17:40] <bazhang> dishayu: sounds like you need to reconfigure your xorg.conf--want a link?
[17:40] <brobostigon> david: welcome
[17:40] <prince_jammys> psyber: oh, forgot to ask --- you use the "wine software uninstaller" that comes with wine?
[17:40] <dishayu> yes, please
[17:41] <giusef> erUSUL, it isn't important *what* daemon.. I'd like to know *where* to put daemons to autoload at startup.
[17:41] <erUSUL> giusef: call it from /etc/rc.local or create a init script for it on /etc/init.d/ then add it to boot with sudo update-rc.d tor-script defaults
[17:41] <bazhang> !nvidia | dishayu

[17:41] <psyber> prince_jammys:  yes, it kept spazzing out about needing me to input disc 1 while the disc was already in the drive...
[17:41] <prince_jammys> psyber: ah the "please insert disk" saga
[17:42] <erUSUL> giusef: look up in google is like in debian (i guess you have slackware/bsd background)
[17:42] <psyber> prince_jammys: lol saga? I take it this is a common error?
[17:42] <nerdsquad3210> ignore retry abort
[17:42] <prince_jammys> psyber: heh, no just reminds me of windows
[17:42] <giusef> erUSUL, np
[17:42] <erUSUL> giusef: rcconf is curses up if you prefer it over cli update-rc.d
[17:43] <psyber> prince_jammys:  gah the app's installer still recognizes it has been isntalled b4.  Maybe I will just reinstall wine
[17:43] <psyber> prince_jammys: lol that should do it
[17:43] <prince_jammys> psyber: if you do -- backup (if you care) and delete .wine folder (your settings)
[17:43] <giusef> erUSUL, I'd like to edit configuration files...
[17:44] <dishayu> ubotu : that does not help... it says my nvidia accelerated graphics drivers are enabled and in use
[17:44] <artti> Yay, upgrade finished.
[17:45] <artti> I got now Ubuntu 6.06.
[17:45] <psyber> prince_jammys:  it seems that the best solution to these problems is to just virtualize.  I just wish I had a spare windows license
[17:45] <erUSUL> giusef: i just checked and the tor package comes with an init file /etc/init.d/tor so no need to do it manually

[17:54] <Hilikus> nerdsquad3210 thats exactly what DAR does
[17:54] <k4k> Kibbles: haha, I meant as far as limiting it's cache stuff so it doesn't keep things in it's memory once you leave a page

[17:59] <ArthurArchnix> nerdsquad3210: I encountered the same problem. Very annoying. Have you tried logging in with a google account and setting prefernces?
[17:59] <gwork> nojoints: try sudo
[17:59] <danand> makaraki - all "official" packages go into /usr/sbin and /usr/bin. Unofficial, or packages you have compiled yourself, should go into /usr/local/bin. This is the common way of doing things
[17:59] <nerdsquad3210> i dont have google acount
[17:59] <nojoints> gworki use opensuse though, but nobody answers in the opensuse irc channel <.<
[17:59] <danbhfive> nerdsquad3210: http://www.google.com/intl/en/    try that
[17:59] <nojoints> gwork; but i use ntfs so shouldn't differ that much right?
[18:00] <zulerdongle> hey guys. I had noticed this a long time ago but I never got around to asking about it. I have both windows xp and ubuntu on a machine and I can access my private windows files (from a windows admin account with private files) from ubuntu... is there anyway i can stop someone from accessing my windows files while in linux? Thanks I appreciate your help.
[18:00] <nerdsquad3210> thanks

[18:00] <Neko_Guy> THERE IS ANNY CHANNEL FOR INGLE PEOPLE TO KNOW OTHERS???????
[18:00] <gwork> nojoints: try sudo anyway ;) if you can with sudo, you know the system works and it's a rights thingy on your user. If root isn't allowed, you have an entirely other problem.

[18:00] <KnK9> zulerdongle : for me ubuntu asks for password if I want to open the windows partition
[18:00] <ArthurArchnix> You could use truecrypt to encrypt them.

[18:01] <faileas> zulerdongle: full disk encryption
[18:01] <erUSUL> zulerdongle: encrypt the partition
[18:02] <bazhang> truecrypt zulerdongle
[18:02] <zulerdongle> at arthurarchnix: thanks i had heard about it but i wanted something more straight forward.
[18:02] <KnK9> zulerdongle : use BIOS password and no one can boot your computer
[18:02] <bazhang> haha
[18:02] <ArthurArchnix> zulerdongle: ?? umm... delete the files? I no of no easier method.
[18:02] <bazhang> just dont forget the password
[18:02] <KnK9> bazhang is right :)
[18:03] <zulerdongle> thanks everyone... what program can i use to encrypt the entire partition though?
[18:03] <faileas> zulerdongle: truecrypt 5
[18:03] <bazhang> then it would really be no one KnK9
[18:03] <zulerdongle> ok, and is there a linux version of truecrypt also?
[18:03] <bazhang> yes zulerdongle
[18:03] <Itaku> is there A terminal command to encode something in MD5?
[18:04] <zulerdongle> thanks
[18:04] <ArthurArchnix> zulerdongle: Which do you use more? Windows or Ubuntu? And are these files on their own partition, or are they in "my documents" in Windows?
[18:04] <faileas> zulerdongle: yes, but i donno if a encrypted windows partition is accessable from linux
[18:05] <NBrepresent> hi, how do i list all of the detected pci cards?

[18:05] <NBrepresent> cool

[18:05] <zulerdongle> arthurarchnix: i used to use windows more but im trying to switch completely to ubuntu. i simply dont want people to be able to acces the files in the "my documents folder"
[18:06] <danand> NBrepresent - sudo lspci -vvvv will give more verbose output
[18:06] <NBrepresent> cool, i think i have what i need
[18:06] <NBrepresent> i'm just trying to install a dial-up modem, but i need the drivers
[18:06] <daniequy> i just installed firefox 3.0b3 in my ubuntu 7.10 32 bits, and i can't install the flash plug in.
[18:06] <daniequy> how can i install it please
[18:07] <bazhang> daniequy: as that is still a beta and plenty of plugins dont work not sure there
[18:07] <k4k> daniequy: you can manually install it still I think
[18:07] <k4k> but it's not recommended
[18:07] <bazhang> daniequy: we had a long wait to get flash in firefox 2
[18:07] <ArthurArchnix> zulerdongle: Then I would recommend creating a truecrypt container that is flexible (expands as necessary), move the files into there, then install eraser and erase the old copies.
[18:07] <daniequy> mm yeah
[18:07] <s0u][ight> hello how can i make my windows partition mount on every boot?
[18:08] <k4k> s0u][ight: edit fstab
[18:08] <daniequy> i try to install it manually but i don't know some steps
[18:08] <danand> !flash | daniequy
[18:08] <ubotu> daniequy: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[18:08] <s0u][ight> k4k, what should i add?
[18:08] <k4k> !fstab
[18:08] <ArthurArchnix> zulerdongle: Unless you need those files all the time... in which case I'd create a separate partition, encrypt the whole partition, and put all my files on there. That's a lot more work.
[18:08] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[18:08] <zulerdongle> arthurarchnix: there you go thats exactly what i need i guess i could easily find the option to make a container from truecrypt right? (and i already have eraser, great little app)

[18:10] <Mik1> why am i not able to set a language with 'dpkg-reconfigure locales'?
[18:10] <bazhang> Mik1: did you sudo? what error did you get?
[18:10] <Mik1> i just need "normal" english and i have very few disk space, so i want to remove unused locales...
[18:10] <ArthurArchnix> bazhang: Really? That's interesting. Although, my own preference is for Luks-DmCrypt since it's already built into the kernel, why add another module.
[18:11] <bazhang> ArthurArchnix: indeed same here

[18:18] <arcade> erUSUL: So, any idea?
[18:19] <Steven__> no plan
[18:19] <Steven__> never used this szstem before
[18:19] <bazhang> Steven__: this is ubuntu you are using?
[18:19] <Steven__> yes, just installed it

[18:20] <bazhang> Steven__: exe files are for ##windows unless you want to run a game under !wine; if you open synaptic you can find amsn and install it
[18:20] <erUSUL> parkinm: with ifconfig
[18:20] <jedusor> baxter you do : rm *a.jpg

[18:21] <bazhang> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy Steven__this would be a good place to start ;]
[18:21] <erUSUL> baxter: do ls *a.jpg to make sure you rm what you really meant

[18:23] <matt__> sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 24
[18:23] <matt__> how can i edit the file correctly?
[18:23] <prince_jammys> matt__: paste line 24 here
[18:23] <mysterycool> how can i burn an iso file on a cd via ubuntu gutsy?
[18:23] <Dybber> K-Ton: It's also for Jabber/XMPP. The best would be to get pidgin running
[18:24] <twinznavy> can envyone help me with my aound card
[18:24] <twinznavy> sound card
[18:24] <matt__> prince_jammys: i can't open it, it gives me that error when i try to edit it.
[18:24] <jrib> matt__: in the future you are supposed to use the "visudo" command to edit it.  It checks the syntax before saving exactly for this reason
[18:24] <j0hng4lt> !answer
[18:24] <bazhang> mysterycool: right click open with cd/dvd creator
[18:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about answer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:24] <erUSUL> parkinm: ifconfig iface

[18:24] <NorthByNorthWest> Hi! Im running memtest on a small computer Id like to install ubuntu on. I get some errors. Can I use BadRAM in any way to do a install and run linux anyway?
[18:24] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[18:24] <jrib> matt__: tell visudo to use whatever editor you want
[18:25] <matt__> jrib: oh, gotcha. visudo nano
[18:25] <parkinm> erUSUL: command not found?
[18:25] <mysterycool> bazhang: the cd isnt empty
[18:25] <matt__> jrib: so is there a way i can fix the file now? is that file even important?
[18:25] <mysterycool> bazhang: thus, i cant see the option open with cd/dvd creator :S
[18:25] <astro76> matt__: no just visudo, which uses nano by default in ubuntu.. change this with update-alternatives --config editor
[18:25] <erUSUL> parkinm: ifconfig does exist
[18:25] <makaraki> Hello people, good evening ( well here we are in the evening...) I have problems with azureus, the fact is when I  download the torrent firefox asks me for what to do and I select open it ( the torrent itself) with azureus but it doesn't do nothing...
[18:25] <jrib> matt__: it doesn't work like that (see man visudo).  You are going to have to reboot and choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu.  Then edit the file and fix it
[18:25] <matt__> astro76: ok...but once again...can i fix the file that i messed up?
[18:26] <bazhang> mysterycool: right click on the iso file and insert a blank cd--what else were you trying to do?
[18:26] <j0hng4lt> makaraki: I use opera for all torrent files in ubuntu - it works great
[18:26] <astro76> matt__: sounds like jrib has you on that
[18:26] <emma> I use deluge.
[18:26] <mysterycool> bazhang: ah i thought right click on the cd icon in Computer :p
[18:26] <mrdigital-iPhone> wish
[18:26] <smithw> I accidentally kicked my Ubuntu box's plug. When I turned it on again, my /home (ext3) partition was reporting strange things to df [-h]; it says it has X of total space/blocks, Y used ( Y < X ) and 0 of available space/blocks. I tried unmounting and fsck'ing it, to no avail. Anyone know what should I do to fix this issue?
[18:26] <amenado> I use wget
[18:26] <bazhang> mysterycool: no worries I made that same mistake ;]
[18:26] <prince_jammys> is visudo preferred now over gksudo?
[18:27] <matt__> jrib: and that will do it? what if i just.......hit control ast 1 whatever and kill kdm via init.d and use visudo there?
[18:27] <mysterycool> bazhang: lol k thanks, works fine now ;)
[18:27] <NET||abuse> arrg,, just sent 2 mails to a friend of mine looking to get his collaboration on a part time web project. evolution has done this before where just nothing appears in the sent items folders for any accounts
[18:27] <jrib> prince_jammys: they do different things
[18:27] <bazhang> hehe
[18:27] <MiVo> Hello, during start up the screen is black and there is no logo shown, together with that moving status bar, how do I get that back ?
[18:27] <NET||abuse> is there a log i can check to see what occured with the saving of the sent items..??
[18:27] <astro76> prince_jammys: all visudo does is edit /etc/sudoers
[18:27] <j0hng4lt> NET||abuse: can you telnet to the smtp server?
[18:27] <prince_jammys> astro76: jrib: looking at the man, thx
[18:27] <amenado> smithw-> you were booting from a liveCD to fix those?
[18:27] <jrib> matt__: it won't work.  You need to reboot and go to recovery mode.  That gives you a root prompt
[18:27] <k4k> Anyone here know how to perminantly change my background in fluxbox and also change the time format to 12h?
[18:27] <NET||abuse> j0hng4lt, it's my own server, i use imap to connect to the accounts,
[18:27] <Rukia-Addict> Hi guys, I've got LinuxMint 4 Daryna XFCE Community Edition Beta 008 and I need some help to share folders with a windows computer (mp me plz)
[18:28] <danbhfive> Rukia-Addict: http://www.europe.eclipse.co.uk/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-on-win-network.htm try this
[18:28] <smithw> amenado: no. I opened the console, logged on to my account, sudo -s, unmounted the drive and then fsck'ed it.
[18:28] <NET||abuse> j0hng4lt, so on my local client i suppose is what i'm saying,, what happened to my messages.
- thanks for your suggestion but althought I think opera is great maybe I have problems or miss configuration by the way you know where azureus places the torrents files? I refer the path
[18:28] <twinznavy> use samba
[18:28] <matt__> jrib: so i'm a little confused...i know how to recover mode it all...but what will i type in? it'll give me a root prompt...but what? visudo? that is it? visudo /etc/sudodoers?
[18:28] <NET||abuse> did it fail when saving them to the imap inbox/Sent folder
[18:28] <prince_jammys> astro76: jrib: i see. won't allow editing if there's an error. makes sense now
[18:28] <bazhang> Rukia-Addict: best to join the linux mint channel then
[18:29] <Rukia-Addict> bazhang, do you know the name of the channel ?
[18:29] <amenado> smith am surprised you can log on and then unmount same directory you were using..usually that would have given you error, also dont fsck a mounted partition
[18:29] <jrib> matt__: just "visudo" will do the trick.  Make sure you setup an editor you are comfortable using with the update-alternatives command astro76 suggested earlier
[18:29] <matt__> jrib: working on it now...
[18:29] <bazhang> Rukia-Addict: not on freenode #linuxmint.com
[18:29] <smithw> amenado: I cd'ed to the root first (my /home and / partitions are two different ones). and I fsck'ed with the /home partition unmounted
[18:30] <Rukia-Addict> bazhang, ho there is one on freenode, i'll try, thx
[18:30] <twinznavy> can enyone help me with sound probs

[18:30] <parkinm> erUSUL: i ran::        sudo ifconfig hw eth xx:xx:xx:xx:xx but its returning "eth: unknown host"
[18:30] <parkinm> I also tried eth0
[18:30] <B-rabbit> hi all
[18:31] <amenado> smithw-> what happens when you tried to fsck the /home partition?
[18:31] <twinznavy> vannot find my sound card
[18:31] <NET||abuse> j0hng4lt, but neither message appears in any sent items folders under evolution at the moment,
[18:31] <benanzo> I would like to find a relatively cheap web host in the US that runs on Ubuntu (preferably) -- anyone have any suggestions?
[18:31] <erUSUL> parkinm: sudo ifconfig hw eth xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth0 (or eth1 or whatever the iface name is)
[18:31] <smithw> amenado: it runs and says it's ok. I tried with the -f flag also, but again it just ran the check and said it's got no problems. yet, when I mount it, it still reports 0 blocks free, even if not all blocks are being used.
[18:32] <achilles> theunixgeek: try the x config file
[18:32] <twinznavy> aplay -l
[18:32] <twinznavy> aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found...
[18:32] <parkinm> when i do ifconfig iface it returns: iface- error fetching interface information, Device not foun
[18:32] <theunixgeek> achilles: where's that?
[18:32] <astro76> benanzo: I use dreamhost which uses debian.... if you want more info I can tell you in #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[18:32] <erUSUL> parkinm: sudo ifconfig hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth0 (or eth1 or whatever the iface name is) also is ether not just eth in hw ether sorry bout that
[18:32] <B-rabbit> benanzo, u might fist ask ur ISP...they some times give free web hosting space..
[18:32] <B-rabbit> to an extent ofcource
[18:32] <erUSUL> parkinm: when i use iface i mean the actual net interface like eth0 wlan0 etc
[18:33] <amenado> smithw after mount /home, can you see any data from it?  you may want to save its contents since you already have access now
[18:33] <achilles> theunixgeek: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:33] <theunixgeek> achilles: thanks
[18:33] <danbhfive> benanzo: you can do it yourself too, which is the cheapest, and is what I do.  Most webhosting I've seen is at least $5 a month
[18:33] <artti> Darn: The Application "wnck-applet" has quit unexpectedly.
[18:33] <ikerc> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/192704
[18:33] <achilles> theunixgeek: but i think there's a graphical utility for that as well
[18:33] <Steven__> thanks bazhang, working perfectly
[18:33] <theunixgeek> achilles: where?
[18:34] <parkinm> ifconfig iface returns saying that it cannot fetch the info, when i run just ifconfig I see eth0(ethernet) and lo(local loopback)
[18:34] <smithw> amenado: I can see all data, and I also can write to it (I did a simple "touch test.txt; echo "test" >> test.txt;" and it returned no problems). the only thing that seems odd is the reporting of free space...
[18:34] <benanzo> Ideally I'd like something that will allow SSH access, and allow me to run shell scripts/cron jobs.
[18:34] <bazhang> Steven__: no worries ;] welcome to Ubuntu

[18:35] <theunixgeek> achilles: thanks
[18:35] <Steven__> i love it, goodbye microdoo.
[18:35] <bazhang> haha
[18:35] <parkinm> erUSUL: aah i see what you mean about iface
[18:35] <parkinm> sorry ;)
[18:35] <rocas> has anyone set up vnc while being behind a router before? i am trying to and did the port forwarding and all but it still isnt working
[18:35] <smithw> amenado: yeah, that's the only thing I haven't tried... I just figured that rebooting would be the same as mounting and the unmounting the drive, but who knows what may happen... I'll give it a shot
[18:35] <parkinm> ifconfig eth0 works fine
[18:35] <IndyGunFreak> Steven__: everyone says that at first, give it a week..lol
[18:36] <Steven__> Allough i have alot to learn brain jogging
[18:36] <amenado> Steven__-> not to pop the bubbles, does sound work yet? hehe
[18:37] <bazhang> Steven_we are always here if you need help ;]
[18:37] <Steven__> zepps
[18:37] <amenado> shoot i should have given you a good 10 minutes headstart
[18:37] <noformat> hello all.  I'm trying to do an install here, but the installer won't let me proceed without formatting various partitons.  They've gotta data on them that can't go anywhere else.  Is there any way I can get around this?
[18:37] <Steven__> of course, but i didnt do it, it seemed to do it itself
[18:38] <amenado> noformat did you choose the default install parameters? you should not, you pick and choose which to partition and install location
[18:38] <Mba7eth__> hi guys ... how can i save remote output when using expect in bash script?
[18:38] <anAngel> Hello. I am having problems with compiz. I cant activate it in Change Desktop Background >> Visual Effects. The error is: Desktop effects could not be enabled. Any help with this. i am using intel 965g video.
[18:38] <amenado> Mba7eth-> visit #bash channel ?
[18:38] <k4k> how come when I do "fbsetbg -f /wallpaper/file" it says it can't setup my wallpaper and to try to download eterm and use esetbg?
[18:39] <k4k> o...nvm got it
[18:39] <k4k> typo
[18:39] <noformat> amenado: I select 'manual' at the Prepare Disk Space screen
[18:39] <sectrix> C6/leave
[18:39] <danbhfive> noformat: you have to format the root partition
[18:39] <Pirate_Hunter> hello can someone post a tutorial on mounting hard disks i.e. linux ext3 & fat32 also how to include the UID or dont I need that
[18:39] <noformat> danbhfive: any idea what the logic is behind that?
[18:40] <parkinm> erUSUL: got it working,  needed to be: sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
[18:40] <parkinm> thanks
[18:40] <aman> can anyone tell how can i disable my network card?
[18:40] <amenado> noformat then proceed and choose which partition you want to install, only put a mount point on partitions you want to use
[18:40] <danbhfive> noformat: I'm guessing that its to ensure that you get a healthy install, but I don't know
[18:40] <noformat> amenado: I think danbhfive knows what I'm talking about.
[18:40] <noformat> danbhfive: ok, thanks, maybe I'll just use debian, heheh
[18:41] <amenado> noformat right

[18:43] <RyanPrior> Can somebody help me connect to an SMG share without using Nautilus?
[18:43] <amenado> aman-> a nic card without ip address assigned is useless
[18:43] <smithw> amenado: well, thanks... I'll do that then
[18:43] <RyanPrior> I meant SMB. :-)

[18:44] <Sandking> hello
[18:44] <aman> amenado: ok and can u tell me the command to restart the network?
[18:44] <rocas> anyone set up a server behind a router before? i need some help getting some stuff working
[18:44] <Pirate_Hunter> how can i check what might be taking  LOT OF CPU
[18:44] <RyanPrior> aman: sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart
[18:44] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: top
[18:44] <PROFIT_> top
[18:44] <PROFIT_> ya
[18:44] <ikerc> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[18:45] <aman> RyanPrior: thanks, thanks a lot.
[18:45] <Sandking> i'm a little noob in case of linux (but not total I hope). I set my linux box yesterday and I got problem with WiFi. card is automatically detected, I see my network but when readying signal computer freezes and my keyboard lights begin to flash
[18:45] <ikerc> killall gnome-manager :)
[18:45] <RyanPrior> Sandking: Yikes! That sounds like a bug to me.
[18:45] <Sandking> it's a dlink wifi card
[18:45] <erUSUL> Sandking: that's kernel panic :| hard to debug/fix
[18:45] <bazhang> Sandking: what card internal or external
[18:46] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: if im reading it correctly nautilus is taking 97% cpu how can that be when im not running anything intensive
[18:46] <Sandking> internal
[18:46] <kostkon> Sandking, this looks like you get a kernel panic
[18:46] <rocas> anyone set up a server behind a router before? i need some help getting some stuff working
[18:46] <Sandking> damn ;/
[18:46] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: bug?
[18:46] <newbie> hello, I have been using ubuntu for a few years, and I would like to try other distributions. I am looking at mandriva, but I am not sure how easy to use is it. Has anyone used or currently use mandriva?
[18:46] <RyanPrior> Can somebody help me connect to an SMB share without using Nautilus?
[18:46] <PROFIT_> its alright newbie
[18:46] <jrib> newbie: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[18:46] <RyanPrior> newbie: I've used Mandriva before. It's alright.
[18:47] <bazhang> newbie yes but offtopic here
[18:47] <erUSUL> !samba > RyanPrior
[18:47] <Sandking> could you give me a name of some popular and widely distributed wifi card that would work with ubuntu? I had problems with this card several years ago on all distros and I was happy that it run but nonetheless it freezes ;/
[18:47] <Sandking> belkin is ok?
[18:47] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: hmm was expecting you would say more but tis really weird this is the second time doing it after restart, cna you suggest anything
[18:47] <erUSUL> Sandking: my ralink2500 based card works well
[18:47] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: kill it
[18:47] <faileas> Sandking: HCL should a list
[18:48] <Sandking> erUSUL, thx, I'll ask at my local media markt
[18:48] <Sandking> faileas: HCL?
[18:48] <theunixgeek> newbie: Fedora
[18:49] <Sandking> also I sometimes try to run an app it starts but later it disappears just to appear like 30 minutes later
[18:49] <B-rabbit> how do i look inside a file.gz from the cli
[18:49] <B-rabbit> ?
[18:49] <faileas> Sandking: hardware compatability list
[18:49] <PROFIT_> cat
[18:49] <k4k> Is there a particular reason why, after mounting my jump drive, when I open up PCmanFM it takes a while for it to access the drive?
[18:49] <B-rabbit> with our extractting it
[18:49] <Sandking> faileas, thx. I think I've seen it and it looks like belkin is my choice
[18:49] <plamen> hi
[18:49] <rocas> has anyone gotten vnc working from behind a router?
[18:49] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: makes no difference it restarts again still taking the same ahhhh its annoying me could it might be with me increasing processor frequency in BIOS?
[18:50] <faileas> rocas: not on linux
[18:50] <[chr0n0s]> can anyone direct me with installation of webcam on a sony vaio?, the solutions on forums aren't working(atleast most of them)
[18:50] <jrib> check ~/.xsession-errors and ~/nautilus-debug-log.txt
[18:50] <faileas> but its a simple matter of a port forward
[18:50] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter:
[18:50] <Itaku> whats the command to change file attributes
[18:50] <k4k> rocas: are you trying to access a machine that's behind a router from outside of the router?
[18:50] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: yeah you called...???
[18:50] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: check ~/.xsession-errors and ~/nautilus-debug-log.txt
[18:51] <Sandking> 3rd and last question this evening - I downloaded app that couldn't be found via pachage manager - i run it normally but is there later an "official" way to install this app?
[18:51] <rocas> k4k: yes ... well i am trying both inside and out and it doesnt seem to be working
[18:51] <faileas> Sandking: gdebi i think
[18:51] <faileas> if its a deb
[18:51] <smithw> amenado: which method do you suggest for me to back up the data? I have an HD with an empty ntfs partition that I can reformat to ext3. I assume formating with fdisk and using cp to copy the files would make me lose file permissions, and using dd to simply copy the data from one partition to another would also copy the error...
[18:51] <k4k> rocas: windows to linux or linux to windows?
[18:52] <rocas> k4k: linux has the server and windows the viewer
[18:52] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: will do so after mounting hd
[18:52] <amenado> smithw-> yeah go ahead and reformat it to ext3 and use tar to back the whole /home dir
[18:52] <Itaku> whats the command to change file attributes
[18:53] <jrib> Itaku: you actually mean attributes, not permissions?
[18:53] <Sandking> faileas, but i got folder  with executable. no package (ie Blender, though Blender is in pack rep)
[18:53] <Itaku> permissions
[18:53] <newbie> I have my monitor currently configured to 1024x768. How can I change the resolution for another where I can see more things on the screen?
[18:53] <amenado> smithw-> then for kicks, you can try to modify your /etc/passwd and point your users /home  to that new partition to test..
[18:53] <jrib> !permissions > Itaku (read the private message from ubotu)
[18:53] <PROFIT_> Hmm, easy question here: when is Ubuntu releasing a new LTS version?
[18:53] <jrib> PROFIT_: april
[18:53] <AtomicSpark> !permissions
[18:53] <ubotu> An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[18:53] <smithw> amenado: I'd like to make this new partition the /home partition after I copy everything, and then merge the flawed current /home with /
[18:53] <PROFIT_> alright thanks jrib
[18:53] <AtomicSpark> cute
[18:53] <PROFIT_> I'm still on 6.06 :)
[18:54] <faileas> Sandking: tarball?
[18:54] <smithw> amenado: I'd better do this stuff on a livecd, am I right?
[18:54] <faileas> ahh
[18:54] <amenado> smithw-> thats possible,
[18:54] <bazhang> PROFIT_: there is a direct upgrade path for that
[18:54] <faileas> Sandking: that needs compiling, if you don't know how to, don't ;p
[18:54] <amenado> smithw-> yeah a liveCd would work too, but testing the new /home requires a boot of the working system
[18:54] <PROFIT_> Hmm, a stable upgrade bazhang ?
[18:54] <k4k> rocas: how did you create the server on the linux machine, did you use ubuntu's built in RD program or did you install something else?
[18:54] <yipe> is anyone else having weird sound problems (like the sound randomly cutting out and then cutting back in during playback?)
[18:54] <bazhang> PROFIT_: it is a LTS so yes
[18:54] <PROFIT_> Not that half of the install is broken after upgrade?
[18:55] <yipe> on Gutsy?
[18:55] <PROFIT_> alright I'll definetly check it when it comes out bazhang :)
[18:55] <amenado> smithw-> at least having a liveCD, its much easier to recover if needed be
[18:55] <bazhang> PROFIT_: that means no intermediary steps just the one ;]
[18:55] <smithw> amenado: if I can get away with not using a livecd, I'd prefer it, because I don't have any empty CD-R's to burn gutsy, the only livecd I have now is edgy
[18:55] <Sandking> faileas, i downloaded a zipped folder which I extracted (Blender or Kerkythea) and inside are some files including exec which runs my app. so I already am able to run an application. I just don't know is there a way to install it to my system as it would be visible in menu
[18:56] <PROFIT_> the word upgrade frightens me bazhang
[18:56] <amenado> smithw-> yeah go ahead and reformat it to ext3 and use tar to back the whole /home dir to new partition
[18:56] <amenado> no need for cd-R
[18:56] <faileas> Sandking: a bit out of my scope... sorry.. it runs right out the folder?
[18:56] <rocas> k4k: i used the one that was in synaptic and after it was done i just did the sudo ./ventrilo_srv
[18:56] <Tu13es> does ubuntu suck with Tablet PCs?
[18:56] <Sandking> faileas, that's right. try blender app from blender.org
[18:57] <Sandking> faileas, on Mac I'd normally drag that folder into App folder but I don't know what's the way of handling apps in Ubuntu
[18:58] <Mik1> :) my xubuntu is know 740MB thin :)
[18:58] <k4k> rocas: o you did something different then I usually do. There is an option under system somewhere to turn on RD and I just did that and setup the port and then install VNC viewer on my windows machine and it worked fine. I don't know what you did, sorry
[18:58] <Mik1> i hope i can make it even smaller
[18:58] <smithw> amenado: ok, I will, thanks.
[18:58] <bluefox83> Mik1, isn't that still too big to fit on a cd?
[18:58] <Mik1> bluefox83: not too big for a 1GB SD Card :)
[18:59] <rocas> k4k: let me try that one then where is it at?
[18:59] <faileas> Sandking: you can use a menu editor i guess
[18:59] <bluefox83> true, true...didn't know that's what you were doing though :P
[18:59] <AfroRowan> hi, when i want to add a application, i get this error message when i selected one: http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1140/screenshotiz7.png  after pressing 'Refresh' i get this message: http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/7420/screenshot1hd1.png  and this goes on and on... anyone knows whats wrong ?
[18:59] <parkinm> I have apache/php/sql installed on my windows machine, how can I browse to this from my ubuntu computer? I have tried //mike and xx.xx.xx.xx ip address from the address bar :|
[19:00] <Sandking> faileas, and where's the place I should place an App ? or do I place it anywhere I want?
[19:00] <Mik1> bluefox83: it's a fully normal, but small xubuntu not that compressed stuff on the xubuntu-cd :)
[19:00] <k4k> rocas: it's somewhere under system in gnome, like system > administration I think but I don't use gnome anymore so I don't know for sure
[19:00] <smithw> amenado: will tar -cvf /dev/hdxy copy everything correctly? reading tar's man page gave me that impression, but I can't afford not to be sure
[19:00] <dan__> Noob question - I'm not asking for hand holding - rather to be pointed in the right direction:  My torrents are not connecting.  I am able to download the torrent file via the web browser, but once handed off to a torrent client (I've used the gutsy built in and transmission)
[19:00] <dan__> it does nothing
[19:00] <dan__> Where do I start?
[19:01] <bluefox83> AfroRowan, nothing is wrong, your list was out of date, now it's not...
[19:01] <roxja-it> hey guys having flash issues, won't work outside of any site apart from youtube
[19:01] <AfroRowan> yeah
[19:01] <rufus> dan_, which client are you using
[19:01] <AfroRowan> read the last thing
[19:01] <trenchcoat> so, is there any way to get flash9 working on Gutsy ?
[19:01] <AfroRowan> and this goes on and on... anyone knows whats wrong ?
[19:01] <mneptok> dan__: open ports on your router/firewall. or enable UPnP in your torrent client and hope that works.
[19:01] <rocas> k4k: found it thanks
[19:01] <lee__> total 100% newbie.... trying to use 100% of a 19" monitor... missing the left 2 inches of the screen... any ideas or point me in the right direction?
[19:01] <faileas> Sandking: you can place it anwhere though i think there's a standard location. it won't show up in the menu unless you add it anyway
[19:02] <Hilikus> my server gets stuck in "loading manual drivers" after upgrading to gutsy, how can i see whats causing the problem specifically
[19:02] <AtomicSpark> trenchcoat:  when viewing a flash page, it will ask you to install a plugin. use the adobe one and let it install. then restart firefox.
[19:02] <Sandking> faileas, thx for all your help and time!
[19:02] <prince_jammys> Sandking: conventional location is /usr/local
[19:02] <Draqu03> Hey to all around. I need 2-3 people for an international contest about webdesign with ages between 16-19. IF anyone interested leave a pm. I'll give you more details thanks ^^
[19:02] <Sandking> prince_jammys, thank you also :]
[19:02] <bluefox83> AfroRowan, i'm telling you, there is nothing wrong...it updated your list of apps
[19:02] <mneptok> Draqu03: no contest advertisements, please
[19:03] <AfroRowan> NO BLUEFOX83
[19:03] <Draqu03> ups...
[19:03] <bazhang> Draqu03: not here

[19:03] <k4k> bbl
[19:03] <AfroRowan> when i try to add a app
[19:03] <Stwange> how can I X-Forward from an ssh connection?
[19:03] <rufus> dan_, which client are you using
[19:03] <mneptok> Draqu03: np. but the channel is so busy that it must be limited to support questions.
[19:03] <DIL> lee__:  auto button on the monitor?
[19:03] <AtomicSpark> Stwange: ssh -x
[19:03] <simon12> The bios startup and the ubuntu login screen is shown on my second monitor (a projectir with a VGA input). Anyone here got knowledge of how to change this?
[19:04] <bazhang> AfroRowan: what is the issue--just type a line or two describing your issues please
[19:04] <lee__> DIL: don't know of one
[19:04] <Stwange> AtomicSpark, I still get a "cannot open display" error
[19:04] <Mik1> my Xubuntu is 666MB big!
[19:04] <perhamlinux> hello guys
[19:04] <DIL> lee__:  your monitor doesnt have a menu button
[19:04] <bluefox83> AfroRowan, did you by any chance delete the file where it stores the list of possible applications to be installed?
[19:04] <lee__> DIL: found it... no joy
[19:04] <AtomicSpark> Stwange: do you have xserver installed on the remote machine?
[19:05] <Stwange> AtomicSpark, yeah I can get it forwarding using X-Ming if I connect using putty on an XP machine
[19:06] <bluefox83> bazhang, it looks like synaptic is having a hard time reading his list of possible applications to be installed...
[19:06] <AtomicSpark> Stwange: it may be differnt in your situation. i have only tried form a linux client to server. i connected using ssh -x ipaddress then opened an xterm window using xterm command.
[19:06] <perhamlinux> I used vga=791 parameter with kernel startup to fix the splash problem, but now, I can't see my ttys, when I press CTRL+ALT+F1 to 6 I just see cursor blinking, and I can switch back to X. any ideas to fix it?
[19:06] <AfroRowan> no bluefox68
[19:06] <hanophix33> i plugged my wireless keyboard in and when i remove it the numlock turns on by default and the light won't go off
[19:06] <AfroRowan> didnt delete anything
[19:06] <parkinm> I have apache/php/sql installed on my windows machine, how can I browse to this from my ubuntu computer? I have tried //mike and xx.xx.xx.xx ip address from the address bar :|
[19:06] <Darnatin> is there a special channel for ps3 ubuntu related questions ?
[19:06] <bluefox83> AfroRowan, it'ws bluefox83, not 68 ;P
[19:06] <AtomicSpark> Stwange: you wont get a x11 desktop unless you use vnc of course.
[19:06] <bazhang> heh AfroRowan please post your sources list to pastebin
[19:06] <Stwange> AtomicSpark, it says xterm: DISPLAY is not set
[19:07] <bazhang> !paste | AfroRowan
[19:07] <prince_jammys> perhamlinux: don't know -- but if you find out please report back -- have tried to help several people with that problem
[19:07] <ubotu> AfroRowan: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[19:07] <Stwange> AtomicSpark, don't worry too much, I'll make do with the terminal and nano :)
[19:07] <AfroRowan> lol
[19:07] <AfroRowan> bazhang, i know what pastebin is
[19:07] <bluefox83> AfroRowan, try updating it from command line, see if it gives any errors, sudo apt-get update
[19:07] <AfroRowan> k
[19:07] <bazhang> then post the sources list please AfroRowan
[19:08] <bluefox83> my guess is, it'll atleast freak out and say something isn't entirely right
[19:08] <mneptok> AfroRowan: try this. close Synaptic. close any updater apps. open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get update" (no quotes). if that doesn't work, pastebin the output. if it does, type "sudo apt-get upgrade" (no quotes, same paste problems deal). use pastebin.
[19:08] <AtomicSpark> Stwange: just check to see if xserver and xterm are installed. im sure any google search can instruct you on how to forward x over ssh :P heck you can even forward gnome if you're doing it from a linux client.
[19:08] <bazhang> my guess is automatix
[19:08] <hanophix33> how can i stop ubuntu from defaulting numlock
[19:08] <perhamlinux> prince_jammys: ok, I'll try to fix it. where should I start seeking? is there a place that I can set terminal configurations?
[19:08] <bluefox83> i never had that prob with automatix
[19:08] <_SlayTaNiC_> hi
[19:09] <mneptok> !wfm | bluefox83
[19:09] <ubotu> bluefox83: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[19:09] <bluefox83> yeah yeah yeah, i know
[19:09] <_SlayTaNiC_> can anyone plz tell me if theres an azureus help room in this server?
[19:09] <Stwange> AtomicSpark, sorry, it is gnome :) it's running RedHat and I usually x-forward with "nautilus &" - although the & doesn't stop that one tying up the terminal :) ill give google another go, thanks anyway
[19:09] <mneptok> *especially* with Automatix.
[19:09] <david> there, my first ubuntu server attempt is on the go :P
[19:09] <bluefox83> _SlayTaNiC_, #azureus
[19:09] <prince_jammys> perhamlinux: that's the thing i don't know.  i've seen fixes for the splash screen problem, but not for the tty problem
[19:09] <bazhang> we'll see bluefox83 if he agrees to post his sources list or not ;]
[19:09] <_SlayTaNiC_> thnks
[19:10] <simon12> The bios startup and the ubuntu login screen is shown on my second monitor (a projectir with a VGA input). Anyone here got knowledge of how to change this?
[19:10] <chazco> Hi... just found the new Truecrypt 5.0a has a GUI for Ubuntu. Seems good - but it asks for your root password(sudo) password without using gksudo. Is it safe to modify /etc/sudoers (properly) to fix this by making it always run as root by default or is there a better way?
[19:10] <bluefox83> O.o
[19:10] <perhamlinux> thanks anyway! ;) I'll try a little more. where should I report if I succeeded?
[19:10] <prince_jammys> perhamlinux: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/15560
[19:10] <roxja-it> hey, guys, any suggestions on flash not working on anything other than youtube?

[19:11] <parkinm> I have apache/php/sql installed on my windows machine, how can I browse to this from my ubuntu computer? I have tried //mike and xx.xx.xx.xx ip address from the address bar :|
[19:11] <Stwange> AtomicSpark, it's working :) sorry - I think that was my bad, using -x instead of -X
[19:11] <rocas> has anyone ever setup a ventrilo server on linux?
[19:11] <prince_jammys> perhamlinux: check the link
[19:11] <craigbass1976> is there an app in the repos for CREATING comic books, rather than Comix and qcomicbook that just let you read them?
[19:11] <Belisarivs> I have problem with networking in Ubuntu. Could anybody help me?
[19:11] <AfroRowan> hmm
[19:11] <craigbass1976> parkinm, is the windows box a WAMP server for real?  Is there a firewall stopping it?
[19:11] <bluefox83> craigbass1976, i don't see why you couldn't use gimp...
[19:12] <craigbass1976> bluefox83, I know, but I thought there might be something else.
[19:12] <faileas> craigbass1976: like printed ones?
[19:12] <prince_jammys> !anybody | Belisarivs
[19:12] <ubotu> Belisarivs: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[19:12] <kane77> can I change the default file manager?
[19:12] <craigbass1976> faileas, if I could just get the digital version, I'd be happy with that for now
[19:12] <bluefox83> craigbass1976, i dunno, but if enough people ask for one, someone is sure to make it...
[19:12] <AfroRowan> ok brb
[19:12] <parkinm> craigbass1976: it just has WAMP installed on it, its not being accessed externally. I am in uni halls tho, so I am unsure how the network works
[19:12] <roxja-it> parkinm: you need to change your httpd.conf file windows so that it doesn't point to localhost
[19:12] <kane77> Belisarivs, could you be more specific?
[19:13] <faileas> craigbass1976: most artists just use a drawing programme like GIMP
[19:13] <Belisarivs> I was connected to wireless network. Than I turned wifi off and connected to new wired network connection. Which service I should restart to make it work.
[19:13] <roxja-it> parkinm: change localhost to your ip and you should be fine
[19:13] <craigbass1976> parkinm, well, if you can't browse in a browser to the box, then it's not serving out right
[19:13] <blbrown> how do I set the SHELL command at startup to bash
[19:13] <blbrown> for a particular user
[19:13] <roxja-it> blbrown: /etc/passwd file
[19:13] <craigbass1976> blbrown, in /etc/passwd
[19:14] <jrib> blbrown: or use 'chsh'
[19:14] <Belisarivs> I was asking, because I quite often don't get any attention here. People are either busy or idle.
[19:14] <bluefox83> Belisarivs, click the connection icon and it shoudl give you options for wireless networks it detects
[19:14] <blbrown> gracias
[19:14] <rocas> has anyone ever setup a ventrilo server on linux?
[19:14] <Belisarivs> I don't want to connect to wireless. To wired.

[19:14] <ubotu> giraldi: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[19:14] <parkinm> roxja-it / craigbass1976 : when i browse to 10.73.21.138 (local IP address of the XP machine) on the XP machine, it gives me "Forbidden", however when I browse on ubuntu i just get "cannot be found"
[19:15] <kane77> Belisarivs, the way I do it - I disable the interface I'm not using...
[19:15] <Belisarivs> I ran dhclient, it reported, that it is bound to certain IP adress, but ifconfig doesn't show any and I cannot access net.
[19:15] <roxja-it> parkinm: have you updated your httpd file on your wamp server?
[19:15] <parkinm> what should I update it too?
[19:15] <kane77> Belisarivs, then try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[19:16] <parkinm> the ip address of the computer?
[19:16] <roxja-it> parkinm: you need to change a line in it, from localhost to your ip
[19:16] <roxja-it> parkinm: yes
[19:16] <chazco> Hi.. how can I create a group (lets call it test), and add all users to it - from the console?
[19:16] <Belisarivs> /etc/init.d/networking restart didn't help, I tried it already
[19:16] <roxja-it> chazco: sudo groupadd
[19:17] <Belisarivs> Evemn when wifi card is turned off, I have it among networking interfaces.
[19:17] <roxja-it> chazco: sudo usermod -g to add users i think
[19:17] <Stwange> Belisarivs, this might sound daft, but have you tried unplugging the lan cable for a minute?
[19:17] <chazco> Was looking at addgroup & adduser... not sure its the correct way though
[19:18] <parkinm> roxja-it: changed it, still forbidden + http://localhost still works? :s (i did reboot apache)
[19:18] <hanophix33> can someone help me with a keyboard issue
[19:18] <roxja-it> chazco: its groupadd
[19:18] <sll> hi, somebody using DisplayConfigGTK?
[19:19] <Belisarivs> Well, cable wasn't plugged in while I was connected to wifi. I turned wifi off and then plugged in able.
[19:19] <roxja-it> parkinm: ah feck, I setup my wamp machine last week, the answer is there in your httpd file
[19:19] <Belisarivs> cable
[19:19] <bluefox83> hanophix33, what keyboard issue?
[19:19] <roxja-it> parkinm: you'll probably need to allow access as well, should be further down the file
[19:19] <bharadwaj> hi
[19:20] <parkinm>     Order Deny,Allow
[19:20] <parkinm>     Deny from all
[19:20] <parkinm>     Allow from 127.0.0.1
[19:20] <parkinm> ^^
[19:20] <hanophix33> bluefox83:  i plugged my wireless mouse/keyboard in and when i remove it, my computer starts with numlock on and when i hit caplock it screws up the keys as well and have to release numlock again, the numlock light doesnt turn off
[19:20] <roxja-it> parkinm: command out that deny from all line
[19:20] <Stwange> hanophix33, is this just a ubuntu thing, or did you spill something on yer keyboard/
[19:21] <Belisarivs> So, any ideas.
[19:21] <hanophix33> thats a ubuntu keyboard
[19:21] <Belisarivs> I'd try avoid restart as it isn't Windows.
[19:21] <bluefox83> hanophix33, ok, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and let it sense your keyboard...sounds like you are having issues with it not getting yoru keyboard correct...
[19:21] <bluefox83> *your
[19:22] <Belisarivs> Services which ran in startup can be later restarted after all.
[19:22] <parkinm> roxja-it: ok I am able to access wamp from this computer from 10.73.21.138 now... but I still cant even see it at all from my ubuntu machine
[19:22] <parkinm> any ideas why?
[19:22] <Mik1> which video player do you recommend me?
[19:22] <parkinm> (I am at uni halls btw - could there be something stopping me that way)
[19:22] <chazco> Okay... made a group, added users, setup sudoers... now to see if it worked :)
[19:22] <bazhang> Mik1: vlc
[19:22] <Nelllliot>  :)
[19:22] <Nelllliot> Hi

[19:23] <chaozone> hello
[19:23] <hanophix33> bluefox82: didnt work
[19:23] <roxja-it> parkinm: can your ubuntu machine ping that address?
[19:23] <lifehacker> mplayer
[19:23] <chaozone> anyonr germanspeaking ppl here?
[19:23] <Nelllliot>  8-)
[19:24] <bluefox83> ok, you're all gonna think i'm nuts, but wth is a wamp machine?

[19:24] <Mik1> i think i will choose mplayer, or does anyone know a smaller player?
[19:24] <Mik1> with less depencies
[19:24] <hanophix33> bluefox83:  didnt work
[19:24] <chaozone> thx
[19:24] <Belisarivs> I don't quite get it. Dhclient reports correct connection. It is bound to correct IP. But ifconfig (I know, that it isn't good idea to use it) reports no such IP on any interface.
[19:24] <Belisarivs> So what do you guys think about it.
[19:24] <parkinm> roxja-it: Destination Host Unreachable on all except the very first icmp_seq which sent 54b data
[19:24] <nano> hey guys, whats better compiz with Xorg or with Xgl????
[19:25] <bluefox83> hanophix33, i dunno then...maybe try another keyboard ans see if that helps?
[19:25] <AfroRowan> bluefox
[19:25] <AfroRowan> what did i have to type ?
[19:25] <AfroRowan> sudo appget upodate ?
[19:25] <roxja-it> parkinm: have a look at the ip address on your ubuntu machine
[19:26] <roxja-it> parkinm: check to see if your on the same subnet as your windows machine, also do you have a firewall turned on?
[19:26] <nova> can anyone help with a .mkv file problem im having?
[19:26] <amenado> parkinm-> paste in pastebin your  ifconfig -a  and route -n  results
[19:26] <roxja-it> Belisarivs: when you do an ifconfig, do you see eth0?
[19:26] <Chris2000> hello!!
[19:27] <amenado> parkinm-> paste in pastebin your  ifconfig -a  and route -n  results, do same for your windows pc , but on windows you use  ipconfig -a
[19:27] <AfroRowan> what did i have to type ??
[19:27] <AfroRowan> sudo app-get update    ?
[19:27] <ahorriblemess> Is anyone available to help me with Glest 3.1? I downloaded the date, binaries and source code... but I don't know what to do next. I feel this would be valuable info for getting other programs installed through the terminal as well
[19:27] <amenado> Belisarivs-> it meant your nic card was not able to acquire the ip address from dhcp server
[19:27] <nova> seems that VLC can no longer play mkv, i can only hear audio but dont get any visual
 Yes. But it has no IP. Even though it should.
[19:27] <prince_jammys> AfroRowan: sudo apt-get update
 But dhsclient says that it did
[19:28] <amenado> Belisarivs-> and who would you believe? what your pc says or what dhcp server says?
[19:28] <roxja-it> Belisarivs: have you tried to set your address statically?
[19:28] <bluefox83> dhcp server is conspiring against you!
[19:28] <roxja-it> amenado: they could all be lying :)
Question is, whether I could believe obsolete tool or not
[19:29] <Belisarivs> I'll try
[19:29] <Chris2000> when the ubuntu live cd start, i press enter to start or install ubuntu, but when it is loading it stop and do anything else.... what do i do??   (Excuse Me
[19:29] <Chris2000>  for my bad english, i'm italian)
[19:29] <amenado> Belisarivs-> > paste in pastebin your  ifconfig -a  and route -n  results, do same for your windows pc , but on windows you use  ipconfig -a
[19:30] <parkinm> ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/m3b1bf1eb,   windows  http://pastebin.com/m1a82b004
sorry, I can't. I cannot connect with that PC to internet. I type from other one
[19:30] <ahorriblemess> Chris2000: try it again, but click the down arrow to highlight "safe graphics" , then hit F6, move cursor behind "--" then delete "quiet splash", move the cursor after the "--" press enter
[19:30] <ahorriblemess> Chris2000: that worked for me, I hope it works for you
[19:30] <parkinm> amenado / roxja-it :ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/m3b1bf1eb,   windows  http://pastebin.com/m1a82b004, no firewall installed at all
[19:31] <AfroRowan> hey
[19:31] <prince_jammys> Chris2000: some (not all) other possible causes: not enough RAM,  cd burn speed (try burning it slow -- 4X)
[19:31] <Stwange> if I do cd /home/john/D<tab> it will paste in Desktop, is there any way of tabbing through the directories without an initial? For the amount of times I forget what it's called
[19:31] <AfroRowan> if i do sudo apt-get update nothing happens
[19:31] <AfroRowan> no i mean
[19:31] <ahorriblemess> Chris2000: you might be warned about graphics again jsut before the CD starts up, but you can fix that later
[19:31] <AfroRowan> i doesnt update
[19:31] <roxja-it> parkinm: thats weird, you should be able to ping that address
[19:31] <Chris2000> i think it's the graphic card
[19:31] <ahorriblemess> Chris2000: no, I mean just before the system starts up, a window might pop up warning about graphics
[19:31] <Belisarivs> It works now. Finally.
[19:32] <david> vm-swappness <- that anything even worth filddling with?
[19:32] <ahorriblemess> Chris2000: what computer do you have?
[19:32] <bluefox83> AfroRowan, you might want to make sure you still have a sources.list
[19:32] <Chris2000> a portable, packard bell b3310
[19:32] <prince_jammys> Chris2000: try what ahorriblemess said
[19:32] <roxja-it> Belisarivs: static or dhcp?
[19:32] <Belisarivs> Static
[19:32] <Kibbles> arghhh... .I removed an option (lamp server) from tasksel and it proceeded to remove half my installed packages!
[19:32] <ahorriblemess> Chris2000: HP laptop?
[19:32] <Belisarivs> No problem with that.
[19:32] <Chris2000> yes
[19:32] <danand> AfroRowan - apt-get update just gets a list of new and upgradable packages from the ubuntu repositiries - it doesn't actually perform any upgrades - you need to sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:32] <bluefox83> <3 my hp laptop
[19:32] <hanophix33> does anyone know anything about keyboard and what causes numlocks to turn on by default and caplocks to turn on numlock
[19:32] <roxja-it> Belisarivs: maybe you should add your machine has a host on the dhcp server, might solve your problem
[19:33] <ahorriblemess> Chris2000: yeah I have an HP also... I had the same problem
[19:33] <Belisarivs> Thank you very much for your time.
[19:33] <amenado> no problem
[19:33] <danand> AfroRowan - *repositories
[19:33] <ahorriblemess> Chris2000: you can get the graphics card recognized later if you install Ubuntu... be sure to get the updates first though.
[19:33] <Slart> david: not really.. unless you want to squeeze that last ounce of speed out of you'r computer
[19:33] <amenado> parkinm-> what is the issue again? can you ping the windows pc and from windows pc can you ping the linux box?
Once more please. I don't understand what did you mean.
[19:34] <david> Slart: ok
[19:34] <david> I'm pretty content  :)
[19:34] <Kibbles> How do I tell apt to repair all packages?
[19:34] <parkinm> amenado: nope, cannot ping at all, I am at uni halls tho, maybe they are blocking it somehow
[19:34] <danand> AfroRowan - Do you mean apt-get update produces no output at all?
[19:34] <amenado> parkinm-> what is between your linux box and your windows? what devices?
[19:34] <Slart> hanophix33: I don't know if keyboard maps can change that.. check to see that your keyboard settings are correct
[19:34] <Chris2000> ok now i tray in safe graphics and cancel quiet..
[19:35] <Slart> Kibbles: repair?
[19:35] <Domino> Hello everyone
[19:35] <Kibbles> Slart: yeah - tasksel removed half of my machine
[19:35] <roxja-it> Belisarivs: Not a dhcp guru, but you should be able to add you machine to your dhcp.conf. I'd look for dhcp specific advise before messing with that file though :)
[19:35] <ahorriblemess> Chris2000: delete "quiet" AND "splash"
[19:35] <Kibbles> Slart: afraid to restart
[19:35] <AfroRowan> danand i did that then it says 0 upgraded 0 installed (all 0)
[19:35] <parkinm> amenado a switch (in my room) and then the switch is plugged into an ethernet port in my room, no idea what else is connected to the network
[19:35] <ahorriblemess> Chris2000: but keep the "--"
[19:35] <parkinm> its probably massive
[19:35] <Slart> Kibbles: removed half your machine??? you mean reinstall the important stuff?
[19:36] <Kibbles> Slart: yeah, for ubuntu desktop
[19:36] <danand> AfroRowan - Do you get any output from the apt-get update command?
[19:36] <ahorriblemess> Chris2000: and make sure you leave the space there just before "--"
[19:36] <AfroRowan> yes
[19:36] <Domino> I've got a question is there a good cms program that works for ubuntu?
Ah. Dhcp is provided by my AP
[19:36] <Kibbles> sheesh what a bug
[19:36] <AfroRowan> but i have dutch ubuntu
[19:36] <Slart> Kibble: you could try a sudo apt-get install reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[19:36] <Chris2000> yes thanks
[19:36] <Slart> Kibbles: I
[19:36] <Belisarivs> so I can't change anything in it.
[19:36] <amenado> parkinn why is the windows  metric set to 20? its should be same as in ubuntu 1 or 0
[19:36] <hanophix33> Slart:  just says generic, it started when i plugged my wireless keyboard in
[19:36] <Slart> Kibbles: I'm not sure that will work though
[19:36] <bowo> hi all
[19:36] <hanophix33> slart: so it may still be set with those settings, but i cant get it back
[19:37] <Slart> hanophix33: hmm.. wireless keyboard..  does a normal wired keyboard act the same?
[19:37] <hanophix33> slart: dont have one to try
[19:37] <bowo> hi all
[19:37] <Kibbles> Slart: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[19:37] <amenado> parkinm-> if I were your,  ipconfig /release    then ipconfig reacquire (dont know exact command on windows for getting new ip address)
[19:38] <roxja-it> parkinm: ipconfig /rennew
[19:38] <roxja-it> parkinm: ipconfig /renew *
[19:38] <Slart> Kibbles: do I really need to tell you what to do after that error message ?
[19:38] <danand> AfroRowan - if your getting output like Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates/multiverse Sources ..... etc and then do apt-get upgrade - if your system says 0 upgraded etc ... then your system is up to date - ie there is nothing to update
[19:38] <ahave> hello room. will u*buntu run on virtualbox?
[19:38] <NBrepresent> hi all.
[19:38] <Kibbles> Slart: i don't trust the damn thing anymore
[19:38] <amenado> Domino easy to use or difficult bleeding edge? try cocoon2 from apache
[19:39] <NBrepresent> how do i check whether my dial up modem drivers are installed?
[19:39] <con-man> NBrepresent: well if you are on the internet talking to us, they work fine
[19:39] <NBrepresent> haha, i'm using dsl right now
[19:39] <Slart> Kibbles: well.. I don't think apt will do anything unless you do as it says.. so sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:39] <roxja-it> NBrepresent: sudo lsmod
 parkinm-> on the linux pc or my windows pc?
[19:39] <Kibbles> Slart: E: Couldn't find package reinstall
[19:39] <hanophix33> slart: anyideas?
[19:39] <NBrepresent> k, i'll try that
[19:39] <amenado> NBrepresent-> you want to slow down? heh
[19:40] <NBrepresent> i'm setting up a comp for my mum, who only has dialup
[19:40] <parkinm> amenado, would it have any problem if my MAC address was identical on both the windows + ubuntu machine? :p
[19:40] <amenado> parkinm-> if I were your,  ipconfig /release    then ipconfig reacquire (dont know exact command on windows for getting new ip address) <----on windows
[19:40] <fysffa> hello, can someone tell me how can i change my keyboard type from command line ?
[19:40] <Slart> Kibble: sorry.. make that sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[19:40] <Belisarivs> Aw. Another minor problem appeared. On same PC (notebook) Battery stat display disappeared. Any ideas how to get it back before my ntb runs out of energy?
[19:40] <danand> NBrepresent - find out which drivers your modem uses then do as roxja-it says - lsmod | grep _driver_
[19:40] <amenado> parkinm-> nope, if they are in a separate subnets...but why do you mess around with MAC addresses to begin with?
[19:40] <AfroRowan> yes danand but if i choose a application to add in  Add/Remove Applications  i get this error again:  http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1140/screenshotiz7.png
[19:40] <Slart> hanophix33: not any good ones.. never used a wireless keyboard... don't know if that can be a problem..might be something else too
[19:41] <Kibbles> Slart: that seemed to do the trick. jesus that's a crazy bug
[19:41] <roxja-it> fysffa: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:41] <NBrepresent> roxja-it: what am i looking for?
[19:41] <parkinm> amenado, so that I can have both pcs on the internet (limited by MAC address to 1 pc :p )
[19:41] <amenado> Belisarivs-> get the power plug back in, quick!
[19:41] <bazhang> AfroRowan: no sources list?
[19:41] <Belisarivs> I ran "sudo /etc/init.d/batery.... reatart, but to no avail
[19:41] <roxja-it> NBrepresent:  you'll have to find out the driver names yourself first
[19:41] <DrHalan> hey i was wondering if some of you guys knows when a new deb package for wine gets released
[19:41] <NBrepresent> ok
[19:41] <Slart> DrHalan:  a few days after the source is released
[19:41] <amenado> parkinm-> you have all these little criterias, you must tell us the whole story and dont try to hide info so we can provide you with better advise
no problem, it has ~40 mins on battery left
[19:42] <wickedsmaat> My CD-ROM will not eject the CD.  It says only "root" can eject the volume, I JUST PUT IN, and that i'm not privelaged enough.
[19:42] <Kibbles> Slart: is there an install/uninstall log anywhere I could look at to see that it actually re-installed everything and that there'll be no surprises?
[19:42] <wickedsmaat> Help Please.
[19:42] <Slart> Kibbles: not sure if apt keeps a log.. check in /var/log for anything that looks apt related
[19:42] <roxja-it> wickedsmaat: sudo mount
[19:42] <Slart>    wickedsmaat: sudo eject
[19:42] <AfroRowan> bazhang dunno but i did sudo apt-get update and upgrade a lot of times now
[19:42] <roxja-it> wickedsmaat: found where your drive is mounted then sudo umount it
[19:42] <parkinm> amenado: sorry, i only just thought about it
[19:42] <amenado> parkinm-> besides, if the schools says you are allowed to have one, and if you get caught, are you going to be suspended?

[19:43] <danand> AfroRowan - can you pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list?
[19:43] <parkinm> amenado -> worst case is a smack on the wrist, maybe an internet ban
[19:43] <ahorriblemess> I just don't know my terminal commands very well, I'm learning slowly
[19:44] <amenado> parkinm-> i dont like to contribute to the delinquence..
[19:44] <Slart> DrHalan: ubuntu doesn't update its version of wine until there is a new flavour.. ie hardy... you'll have to add wine's own repos if you want anythiung highetr
[19:44] <Kibbles> Slart: ffr -> /var/log/apt/term.log
[19:44] <parkinm> amenado -> it is completely possible (if not highly unlikely) that I could have two NIC cards with identical MAC addresses
[19:44] <Slart> Kibbles: ah.. nice .. found the info you were looking for?
[19:44] <AfroRowan> danand ill get the file and paste it
[19:44] <roxja-it> parkinm: no its not
[19:44] <parkinm> p.s amenado: I am not asking you to help me get more internet, just to browse to my own computer :|
[19:44] <danand> AfroRowan - k
[19:45] <wickedsmaat> SLART => sudo eject /dev/scd0 worked just fine . . . thanks for the help.
[19:45] <amenado> parkinm-> you try and lets see how far you get with that
[19:45] <Slart> wickedsmaat: you're welcome
[19:45] <AfroRowan> danand: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56397/

[19:45]  * piju successfully configured java plugin for firefox and swiftfox on gutsy amd64
[19:45] <piju> :)
[19:45] <DrHalan> Slart, ahg thought sth like that, but why dont they?
[19:46] <Kibbles> Slart: yeah it'll take me a while to confirm it though. in any case, don't use tasksel to uninstall tasks
[19:46] <scag> Hi, whats the command to connect to a wireless network from the Terminal?
[19:46] <maszlo> i ran a dist-upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 and have lost function of my dvd burner.  brasero only allows writting to an iso, the drive is not an option.  where should i look to change this?
[19:46] <danand> AfroRowan - just lookin
[19:46] <parkinm> amenado: ¬_¬
[19:46] <ceil420> why would something be greyed out in the update manager?
[19:46] <ahorriblemess> ah wait... to install/compile a source... after I cd to the directory the source is in... do I do "./configure, make, make install, clean"? Like when I installed drivers?
[19:46] <parkinm> ok thanks for help
[19:46] <Slart> DrHalan: because the distro shouldn't change until there's a new version.. things should be the way they were at the install.. so you can rely on the computer to be the same next week.. and the week after that etc
[19:47] <Slart> Kibbles: hehe.. I don't like tasksel anyway.. synaptic is enough for me
[19:47] <DrHalan> Slart, sure but dont they update otehr packages too?
[19:47] <bazhang> there are no sources enabled AfroRowan except for the cd rom
[19:47] <AfroRowan> oh
[19:47] <Slart> DrHalan: only security fixes.. everything else stays the same
[19:47] <scjp_> is it possible to do the dual installation windows and linux
[19:48] <ceil420> Slart, is that related to why "gnome-themes-extras" is greyed out in my update-manager?
[19:48] <danand> AfroRowan - I've seen this error before - I think its due to a possible bug in the gutsy installer - Essentially all your sources for your packages are commented out - wait one and I'll edit it and repastebin it
[19:48] <Kibbles> Slart: it was recommended to me as a way to set up a lamp server easily
[19:48] <AfroRowan> ok
[19:48] <AfroRowan> thx danand
[19:48] <Slart> ceil420: huh? I have no idea..
[19:48] <nila> hi
[19:48] <Kibbles> almost cost me an installation there (still have to see what happens on restart)
[19:48] <ceil420> :x
[19:48] <scag> Hi, whats the command to connect to a wireless network from the Terminal?
[19:48] <Slart> Kibbles: well.. don't trust that person again =)
[19:48] <nano> what better, compiz with Xgl or with Xorg server?
[19:49] <danand> AfroRowan - might be a little while - stick around and I'll be as quick as I can
[19:49] <AfroRowan> ok :)
[19:49] <david08> hello
[19:49] <Kibbles> Slart: can you install a functioning lamp server from synaptic or do you have to put it all together yourself?
[19:49] <Slart> DrHalan: check the wine site for information on how to add the wine repos.. www.winehq.org
[19:49] <david08> i noticed that when i insert a cd/dvd the desktop icon doesn't appear. how do i re activate it?
[19:50] <Slart> Kibbles: you might have to do some configuring.. but all the software is available from synaptic/apt
[19:50] <nila> hello
[19:50] <DrHalan> Slart, thanks already did it :)
[19:50] <ahorriblemess> ok, I definitely understand that everyone is busy and people use their free time to help, but just one quick question because I think I've figured it out. But, if I ./configure in a -source folder... will anything bad happen at all? (I'm pretty sure nothing will but I'm new at this so I wanted to be sure)
[19:50] <Slart> DrHalan: ah.. sweet
[19:50] <AfroRowan> ok i have something else thats wrong over here... when i start my pc its very slow... it takes long before i can login, someone said me that there is a bug that you cant see the bootscreen and that de applications are waiting for a timeout... anyone knows how to fix this ????
[19:50] <BjkGenTr736> türk varmý
[19:50] <BjkGenTr736> :D
[19:50] <Slart> ahorriblemess: no, nothing bad should happen
[19:51] <DrHalan> maybe you guys can help me with another prob. in skype and amsn my webcam is first really good at quality and then its gets darker and darker
[19:51] <nano> what better, compiz with Xgl or with Xorg server?.....anybody?
[19:51] <Slart> ahorriblemess: and what small amount of bad that can happen happens in that folder
[19:51] <Kibbles> Slart: hold your fingers i'm rebooting :)
[19:51] <ahorriblemess> Slart: ok thanks, i had to check, i still get jittery when I do things in the terminal
[19:51] <david08> i noticed that when i insert a cd/dvd the desktop icon doesn't appear. how do i re activate it?
[19:51] <ahorriblemess> Slart: ok , good to know. thanks!
[19:51] <scag> Hi, whats the command to connect to a wireless network from the Terminal?
[19:52] <Slart> !wifi
[19:52] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[19:52] <Slart> try there, scag
[19:52] <AfroRowan> ok i have something else thats wrong over here... when i start my pc its very slow... it takes long before i can login, someone said me that there is a bug that you cant see the bootscreen and that de applications are waiting for a timeout... anyone knows how to fix this ????

[19:53] <DrHalan> ubotu, webcam :)
[19:53] <luislo> I'm using suse 10.3, kde. I put my bluetooth dongle and everything went smoothly, I was able to pair a headset, a cellphone and mouse, and I was able to send some files between the pc and the phone. However, although it is paired, I can't use the headset to skype nor listen to music. I looked up in the suse forums and there's a howto for suse 10.0, which I follow without success (at the very end of the instructions). There's
[19:53] <luislo> also a howto for gentoo, but many things are different and I couldn't follow. I need some help please: Can you succesfully use multimedia, bluetooth, skype. and such things in ubuntu?
[19:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about webcam :) - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:53] <AfroRowan> slart about 8 min
[19:53] <AfroRowan> thanks prince
[19:53] <prince_jammys> AfroRowan: np, that should do it
[19:53] <faileas> luislo: suse 10.3 = #suse ;p
[19:53] <DrHalan> anone knows somethign bout webcam configuration on ubuntu, cause after some time in skye and amsn it gets dark
[19:54] <david08> i noticed that when i insert a cd/dvd the desktop icon doesn't appear. how do i re activate it?
[19:54] <bulio> I have a Brother HL-2040 laser printer hooked up to a Ubuntu Server with CUPS installed
[19:54] <luislo> faileas: Didn't you see my last question? I'm evaluating the possibility of changing to ubuntu, that's why I'm asking
[19:54] <Slart> luislo: I use bluetooth to connect my cell phone.. so it works.. but it's far from user friendly.. still a lot of mucking about in the terminal.. skype works for me too and I can listen to music.. I've never tried combining these things though
[19:54] <Guest_750_>  Q1U-XP owner, touch screen frustrations. Cannot get to funtion properly. Anyone has this working?
[19:54] <faileas> ahh ;p
[19:54] <bulio> I installed the CUPS wrapper for it from this page
[19:54] <faileas> oops ;p
[19:54] <bulio> http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_drivers.html
[19:54] <danand> AfroRowan - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56399/ - that should give you a working sources.list - just copy it to /etc/apt/sources.list. Make a backup of your old one first if you like. Then run sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade. After that you can install new packages! :)
[19:54] <prince_jammys> bulio: how do you end up accessing your cd?
[19:54] <bulio> but for some reason when I print, the printer has the right marging completely off, and some of the page gets cut off
[19:54] <luislo> Slart: do you use skype with a bluetooth headset?
[19:55] <Slart> luislo: nope
[19:55] <Kibbles> Slart: back in and seemingly working fine
[19:55] <prince_jammys> bulio: sorry, wrong nick
[19:55] <Slart> Kibbles: nice.. kibbles vs tasksel 1-0
[19:55] <bulio> I have tried 2 different computers but they both have the problem
[19:55] <luislo> Somebody here has been able to use a bluetooth headset?
[19:55] <scag> Some of those commands given there don't work, Slart\
[19:55] <Kibbles> Slart: ctrl-c'd my keyboard to death
[19:55] <kane77> how can I change the default file manager?
[19:55] <NickO> how do i get audio chat working on x-chat
[19:55] <scag> Whats the command to connect to a wireless network from the Terminal?
[19:55] <Slart> scag: I can't help you with wifi.. never used it myself.. I just provided the link
[19:56] <AfroRowan> oh thx danand ill try it :)
[19:56] <Slart> NickO: audio chat on xchat???
[19:56] <NickO> is there?
[19:56] <Slart> NickO: it's an irc client.. not an im
[19:56] <bulio> anyone have an idea on what might be wrong?
[19:56] <NickO> haha
[19:56] <NickO> oh
[19:56] <NickO> okay
[19:56] <Kibbles> nick0: you don't.
[19:57] <neko_> hi people
[19:57] <neko_> is there someone that know a little of bash script basics ?
[19:57] <Slart> NickO: I guess you could make xchat read everything written in a channel in some sweet sultry robot voice.. but that's it =)
[19:57] <danand> scag - iwconfig, iwlist etc may help you out
[19:57] <NickO> i'll be okay
[19:57] <prince_jammys> !justask | neko_
[19:57] <ubotu> neko_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[19:57] <neko_> there is no variable that contain all elements ?
[19:57] <Slart> neko_: yes.. I know a little about bash scripting basics
[19:58] <AfroRowan> danand i cant edit and save it
[19:58] <Kibbles> Slart: seeing as how i crashed tasksel's uninstall script - how do i check my firewall now for holes left open by lamp?
[19:58] <AfroRowan> no permissions
[19:58] <Mba7eth__> what is the lightest java IDE ?
[19:58] <NickO> i do have one question, where can i get the ut2k4 linux installer shell. i can't find it anywhere and it's not on the disc i got
[19:58] <lovloss> you script at bash.org?
[19:58] <Slart> Kibbles: sudo iptables -L  should be empty
[19:58] <Kibbles> k
[19:58] <prince_jammys> neko_: elements?
[19:58] <Slart> neko_: all elements?
[19:59] <roxja-it> hey guys, I need to setup lamp on my ubuntu desktop. any quick way to do this?
[19:59] <neko_> arguments
[19:59] <neko_> i mean
[19:59] <Slart> !lamp
[19:59] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[19:59] <prince_jammys> neko_: $@
[19:59] <j0hng4lt> xampp
[19:59] <neko_> thanls a lot
[19:59] <scag> danand: iwlist shows the network, but it doesnt say how to connect to it
[19:59] <Kibbles> Slart: "empty" as in no ips defined, correct?
[19:59] <prince_jammys> neko_: yw, dont forget #bash
[19:59] <neko_> oh i didn't knwo this one
[19:59] <danand> AfroRowan - you need to be superuser to edit that file - copy your old one first - run sudo cp /etc/apt/source.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old and then gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:59] <Slart> Kibbles: well.. empty as in "no rules defined"
[19:59] <neko_> i will add this right now
[19:59] <neko_> thanks prince
[19:59] <darknature> How do I find out and set my video RAM on ubuntu. I am using my Aspire 3680 laptop with shared video memory. I upgraded to 2gig of RAM. Now I want to try and increase my video RAM to the max. How do I find out how much video memory Ubuntu is reading? Besides the BIOS
[19:59] <prince_jammys> neko_: $#:: number of args, $@ :: all args
[20:00] <charlie> THIS CHANNEL SEEMS TO BE VERY ACTIVE LOLLLLERERRRFAILL
[20:00] <j0hng4lt> darknature : isn't that set solely in CMOS?
[20:00] <neko_> that's just what  i needed ;)
[20:00] <Kibbles> Slart: it has 3 categories: Input, Forward and Output - all three have writing underneath them
[20:00] <darknature> CMOS what you mean?
[20:00] <danand> scag - thinlk you need to use iwconfig for that. type man iwconfig in a terminal
[20:00] <aspire> darknature: have you searched for the specs?
[20:00] <Kibbles> target     prot opt source               destination
[20:00] <prince_jammys> neko_: use quotes most of the time
[20:00] <daemonicum> strg+tab allows me to switch tabs, but only in one direction, can i also go the other way? and how can i close a tab via shortcut?
[20:01] <NickO> nobody knows wehre to get the ut2k4 linux installer?
[20:01] <Kibbles> Slart: those are just headers right (man i've lost my self confidence)
[20:01] <darknature> yeah I can increase the video memory to 256 on windows vista
[20:01] <Slart> Kibbles: those are just headers.. if it's nothing more then you're fine
[20:01] <NickO> isn't that a fake windows thing
[20:01] <darknature> i just want to know how to i do that with ubuntu.
[20:01]  * Kibbles sighs relief
[20:01] <Kibbles> *beer to slart*
[20:01] <Slart> Kibbles: although I must warn you.. no rules usually means anything goes.. all gates open
[20:02] <wickedsmaat> I used "alien" to generate a ".DEB" file from an ."RPM" package.  It says it generated a ".deb" file . . . . but where???  It's not on the desktop, where the source input file was.

[20:03] <AfroRowan> danand your the best ! he is downloading updates now... thanks ! :)
[20:03] <wickedsmaat> I used "alien" to generate a ".DEB" file from an ."RPM" package.  It says it generated a ".deb" file . . . . but where???  It's not on the desktop, where the source input file was.

[20:05] <NickO> aproximately what percentage fps do you take WINEing games compared to windoze?
[20:05] <NigelS> NickO: there's a linux installer on the dvd
[20:05] <NickO> not on mine
[20:05] <foo> Hm, when I have compiz and I logout... it appears as though X freezes. Anyone heard of this bug?
[20:05] <faileas> NickO: donno, try it ;p
[20:05] <NickO> certain editions have it but not mine
[20:06] <NigelS> NickO: no linux-installer.sh in the root of the dvd?
[20:06] <NickO> i'm going to have to
[20:06] <NickO> no there's not
[20:06] <NickO> usually it's under cd1 or the root of the disc
[20:06] <NickO> and i can't find it anywheree
[20:07] <schloff> hey guys i run Ubuntu Gutsy gibbson it updated to a new kernel and when i run it it errors out saying my intel card might not have enough ram going to it. I updated X11/xorg.conf and gave it 256 megs of ram
[20:08] <helpless> hello, i installed ubuntu on my computer. my computer then died. ive attached my hard disk to another computer and started up ubuntu to try and retrieve some files. the directories im trying to access are unreadable. Ive noticed the drive is mounted as ext3. what should I do? try and fix the partition?
[20:08] <NigelS> NickO: possibly this is it --> http://lackteam.free.fr/download/linux-installer.sh from this thread --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=556565
[20:08] <NigelS> NickO: but check before running
[20:08] <Vermyndax> alright, I'm losing my mind on a chmod command
[20:08] <NickO> sweet. lemme check
[20:08] <Vermyndax> I have a web dir that I am trying to set permissions
[20:08] <AfroRowan> yes im satisfied, everything is fixed now ! thx all
[20:09] <NickO> ty so much
[20:09] <BoBo1> why can't i connect to wireless network with d-link g122 ?? it's connecting , but can't ! it ones connect but only 2 min :O
[20:09] <Vermyndax> what chmod can I do so that every file and dir below a directory will retain the permissions of the above?
[20:09] <NigelS> np
[20:09] <Vermyndax> for instance: dev.something.com is set to 775
[20:09] <Vermyndax> but when you create files under it, the files are 644
[20:10] <NickO> happen to know when the ut3 installer is coming out?
[20:10] <danand> helpless - are you running the live-cd on the compoter you've attached the hard disk to?
[20:10] <Vermyndax> how do I make it so that all files and dirs created beneath it are 775?
[20:10] <helpless> danand, yes
[20:11] <jrib> Vermyndax: look into ACL Access Control Lists.  You can't limit a umask to a specific directory afaik, without using ACL
[20:11] <Arelis> Hi, people. I have a Windows install i'd like to preserve to the maximum, that is to say i NEVER want to lose it. How can i install Ubuntu on my machine without possibly damaging my Windows install?
[20:11] <NickO> do you have to hdd's?
[20:11] <NickO> two*
[20:11] <faileas> Arelis: Wubi
[20:12] <danand> helpless - ext3 is the default filesystem for ubuntu. You should be able to look at those directoried & files. Have you mounted the disk ok?
[20:12] <Arelis> NickO: Yes, but i've experienced instability problems while using that HD so i want to try with the first HD
[20:12] <helpless> danand, the live cd mounted the disk
[20:12] <nomic> i wish to address a real problem to the channel seeing as there's 1261 people in here that i haven't got solved yet through the internet
[20:12] <NigelS> NickO: nope, I think it's a point of irritation in the community but I haven't looked at ut3 since they released that awful beta demo
[20:12] <nomic> hi im nomic
[20:12] <helpless> danand, automatically, that is. most directories look fine, its just the ones that were most recently edited which are unreadable
[20:12] <nomic> i have a problem with binaries/source code
[20:13] <jrib> !enter | nomic
[20:13] <ubotu> nomic: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[20:13] <Vermyndax> jrib: thanks... looks complex... I might just do an hourly cron job for now ;)
[20:13] <NickO> Arelis: no matter how oyu do it you can always make a mistake i suppose
[20:13] <nomic> synaptic is nice but the problem is it doesn't all seem to be in one place
[20:13] <turshu> ls | grep fan
[20:13] <turshu> :D
[20:13] <nomic> i am a mainframe programmer really I used to program pick
[20:13] <nomic> in PICK you have a VOC
[20:13] <nomic> the voc is like the sky
[20:13] <nomic> and the gods
[20:13] <nomic> 'valhalla'
[20:13] <danand> helpless - what error do you get when you try to open them - are you using filemanager GUI or CLI
[20:13] <jrib> Vermyndax: there's eiciel as a gui
[20:14] <NigelS> Arelis: the best way is to make sure that you understand partitions - if you think you're the kind of person that might opt to destroy or format the windows partition during installation then don't do it :)
[20:14] <nomic> they used to call it the MD but it's the VOC it's the 6th biggest international database platform
[20:14] <jrib> nomic: stop pressing enter to break up your thoughts
[20:14] <Vermyndax> jrib: this is on a server with no gui :(
[20:14] <nomic> microsoft wanted to buy this but they couldn't handle it IBM bought it it's "Universe" now
[20:14] <jrib> Vermyndax: k, then you need to do some reading I guess
[20:14] <prince_jammys> Vermyndax: try #bash for a mini script
[20:14] <jrib> nomic: do you have an ubuntu question?
[20:14] <Vermyndax> jrib: yeah looks that way
[20:14] <kbrooks> !offtopic > nomic (nomic, see the private message from ubotu)
[20:14] <nomic> the byline for PICK is that it is the "industries best kept secret"
[20:15] <nomic> wut kbrooks?
[20:15] <Arelis> NigelS: Well, I mean that resizing the Windows partition can cause great problems.
[20:15] <kbrooks> nomic, take it there please
[20:15] <prince_jammys> Vermyndax: a short script should do that, unless there's an existing command
[20:15] <Vermyndax> prince_jammys: I was thinking an hourly cron job to fix perms
[20:15] <bluefox83> nomic, i went to an interview for a PICK programmers job once, i have no idea why they concidered me, i told them my only programming experience was a few weeks of visual basic in college...
[20:15] <prince_jammys> Vermyndax: basically something that reads the perm on a dir and chmods everything in  it
[20:15] <Vermyndax> prince_jammys: right
[20:16] <helpless> danand: should i simply try fsck?
[20:16] <NigelS> Arelis: consider using software to resize any ntfs partition and create free space befpre install or install to another drive if you're worried
[20:16] <prince_jammys> Vermyndax: unless there's a command that already does this, a one liner script would work
[20:17] <danand> helpless - if your confident enough to use it :) - how did your other machine die?
[20:17] <turshu> is there any body know about hibernation cause fan problems?
[20:18] <enzo> m-a list -s alsa informs me that alsa module is 1.0.14, however, 1.0.16 has been realeased, this module will be freezed to 1.0.14 until next release of ubuntu ?
[20:18] <helpless> danand: wouldnt start one day
[20:18] <Arelis> NigelS: Alright.
[20:18] <helpless> danand: fschk says that the filesystem is clean
[20:18] <helpless> but some directories are still unreadable
[20:19] <Arelis> NigelS: Hmm.. i'm looking at the Ubuntu Hardware Compatibility list and my motherboard is not listed (it is a K8V-MX). Is it fully supported? (when i used ubuntu it had sound and such..)
[20:19] <fung> i upgraded to 7.10 and now im getting hard crashes.  I suspect my video card overheating to be the issue, did something change in 7.10 that would hit my GPU harder?
[20:19] <fung> im sitting at 76C at idle
[20:19] <fung> its been climbing since i booted
[20:19] <danand> helpless - when you say "unreadable" what exactly do you mean - can you try to describe the problem a bit more?
[20:20] <fung> started at 68
[20:20] <NigelS> Arelis: I'm sure it is - esp if everything works in the live cd; check its chipset
[20:20] <turshu> fung: i have same problem after hibernation fans not working
[20:20] <fung> i have a fanless card, so its not fans :)
[20:20] <turshu> :D
[20:21] <darknature> Another question: I have noticed that when I enable my wireless and go at a distance with a signal of 2 bars, Strangely my laptop will then put out more memory usage. Can anyone explain why this is happening and how (if possible) could I fix it?
[20:21] <fung> my slowdown threshold is at 125C
[20:21] <helpless> danand: ubuntu says that the folder contents could not be displayed
[20:21] <fung> thats freaking high
[20:21] <danand> helpless - have you tried using the command line to browse those directories?
[20:21] <fung> i never had these issues in feisty though
[20:21] <emma> I have an external hard drive. I seem to be able to read file from it but it is not letting me 'create a new folder' in it.
[20:22] <BoBo1> i can connect wireless with d-link g122 but it's disconnecting me in 2 min !! help pls !!!!!!
[20:22] <emma> How do you handle that?
[20:22] <fung> do you have write permissions ?
[20:22] <emma> fung - How do I give myself write permisisions?
[20:23] <emma> I thought it was sudo chown emma /media/disk but it didn't do anything
[20:23] <turshu> emma:  sudo chown username /directory
[20:23] <fung> do $ ls -l /media/disk
[20:23] <NigelS> emma: chmod +w emma ;) more seriously what version of ubuntu is this? you may have an ntfs drive mounted with the ntfs rather than ntfs-3g driver which doesn't allow for writes
[20:23] <prince_jammys> emma: that changes the ownership, but not necessarily the permissions
[20:24] <fung> if it has r--r--r-- you just have read
[20:24] <prince_jammys> emma: chown for permissions
[20:24] <enzo> no one has a idea why alsa module is not the last version when i do a module-assistant update ?
[20:24] <emma> I have Gutsy, and the external hard drive is formatted as ext3
[20:24] <ahorriblemess> ugh I can't figure out how to install glest... i downloaded what I need, I can't get the rest
[20:24] <prince_jammys> emma: i mean chmod, sorry
[20:24] <ahorriblemess> of the information
[20:24] <NigelS> emma: then it's pure permissions and ownership
[20:24] <Achoth> Hello. I just connected my DV camera, how can I extract the video?
[20:24] <fung> chmod +w will give you write permissions
[20:24] <NigelS> emma: chmod changes permissions and chown changes ownership
[20:24] <fung> external hdd's sometimes get mounted as read only by default
[20:24] <emma> so i should chmod +w emma /media/disk
[20:25] <prince_jammys> emma yes
[20:25] <emma> I think it mounts itself because it's usb
[20:25] <AfroRowan> sudo ?
[20:25] <darknature> Another question: I have noticed that when I enable my wireless and go at a distance with a signal of 2 bars, Strangely my laptop will then put out more memory usage. Can anyone explain why this is happening and how (if possible) could I fix it?
[20:25] <BoBo1> i can connect wireless with d-link g122 but it's disconnecting me in 2 min !! help pls !!!!!!
[20:25] <NigelS> emma: no, without the emma, that was just a lame joke when you asked how to give yourself write perms
[20:25] <danand>  buggy bios - graphics does not wake back up again. You could try playing with kernel args ie apm=on acpi=off etc to see if that helps you out
[20:25] <AfroRowan> not  sudo chmod +w emma /media/disk  ?
[20:25] <danand> oops
[20:25] <muuddflap> anyone know how too get an old sound blaster to work on lhere
[20:25] <emma> so i should not put emma
[20:25] <NigelS> muuddflap: how old, most sbs are supported?
[20:25] <prince_jammys> emma  no no emma
[20:25] <NigelS> emma: no
[20:26] <emma> sudo chmod +w /media/disk
[20:26] <prince_jammys> emma yes
[20:26] <muuddflap> uhm real old   i need to do snd     config but i forget how too
[20:26] <prince_jammys> emma if you want this all the time change fstab
[20:26] <emma> It says, +w command not found
[20:27] <prince_jammys> try u+w
[20:27] <emma> u+w
[20:27] <prince_jammys> sudo chmod u+w /media/disk
[20:27] <muuddflap> nigels  8 to 10 yrs old
[20:28] <emma> I still cannot create a folder.
[20:28] <prince_jammys> emma:   grep /media/disk /etc/fstab
[20:28] <emma> prince_jammys,  nothing happened
[20:28] <NigelS> muuddflap: what model is it
[20:28] <BoBo1__> question:  i can connect wireless with d-link g122 but it's disconnecting me in 2 min !! help pls !!!!!!
[20:29] <prince_jammys> emma mmmm
[20:29] <danand> Achoth - think kino package could help you with that
[20:29] <muuddflap> nigels: sound blaster 16   i think
[20:29] <emma> maybe I should pull the usb out and put it back in
[20:29] <prince_jammys> emma ls -l /media    <-- paste just the line with disk in it
[20:30] <emma> drwxr-xr-x 4 emma root 4096 2008-02-09 12:47 disk
[20:30] <sirius-black> hey
[20:30] <Ashfire908> when i start up my ubuntu server, when starting apache, it keeps giving me "install: invalid user 'www-data'"
[20:31] <prince_jammys> emma sudo chgrp emma /media/disk
[20:31] <ClintZ28> anyone been able to get sound working in flash while using OSSv4 for Creative XFI card?
[20:31] <prince_jammys> emma now ls -l should show  "emma emma"
[20:31] <NigelS> muuddflap: this guide seems to cover it --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToSetupSoundCards
[20:31] <foo> bleh, switching workspaces in compiz is choppy. lame, it shouldn't be. any ideas?
[20:32] <sirius-black> how do i get the latest version of software(for example the jack server)?i have 1.3 now, and somene told me 1.9 is the latest one, i downloaded ubuntu about a week ago and installed jackd 2 days ago
[20:32] <G0rilla> question:  i can connect wireless with d-link g122 but it's disconnecting me in 2 min !! help pls !!!!!!
[20:32] <Arelis> NigelS: I've had a very unstable Linux experience (not only Ubuntu, but nearly every distribution). Will using that other harddrive change anything?
[20:32] <emma> prince_jammys,  why is it good to have emma emma?
[20:33] <prince_jammys> emma: just changes the ownership to your user and your group
[20:33] <Ashfire908> sirius-black, the ubuntu packages are out of date sometimes
[20:33] <sirius-black> ashfire908: how do i update them?
[20:33] <prince_jammys> emma: maybe remounting is the thing try after this ... i'm stuck
[20:34] <emma> Nope it still won't let me create a new folder.
[20:34] <Ashfire908> sirius-black, if the pache on the package server is out of date, you will need to build it yourself.
[20:34] <prince_jammys> emma: what kind of device is this?
[20:34] <NigelS> Arelis: odd, linux is typically a very stable OS; the other harddrive would only be at issue if there were some fault with it and the kind of instability that it would cause would be fairly visble - i.e. files can't be written/read.  When you say instability do you mean unattributable lockups?
[20:34] <emma> It's an external hard drive, it's formated as ext3
[20:34] <sirius-black> huh?
[20:34] <Ashfire908> sirius-black, build = compile
[20:34] <sirius-black> ahh
[20:34] <emma> it connects by usb
[20:34] <Ashfire908> *package
[20:34] <prince_jammys> emma: does it get mounted automatically ?
[20:34] <emma> I think it gets mounted automaticall
[20:35] <emma> because it's usb connected.
[20:35] <prince_jammys> emma can you view the contents?
[20:35] <emma> and it shows up on the desktop when it starts.
[20:35] <emma> I can view the contents.
[20:35] <prince_jammys> emma how come it's not in fstab?
[20:35] <sirius-black> ashfire-908 so download the package and then compile it,
[20:35] <emma> I can view the contents and I can even read the contents.
[20:36] <emma> I don't know, I didn't look in fstab..
[20:36] <prince_jammys> emma:::  cat /etc/fstab and see if there's a line for /media/disk
[20:36] <Ballena> what is the minimum size of a hdd or external media that I want to format to ext3?
[20:36] <prince_jammys> emma even though grep should have done it
[20:36] <cew27_> prince_jammys: hey there im just on mint irc atm ever used mint?
[20:37] <prince_jammys> cew27_: no -- is it an irc client?
[20:37] <emma> prince_jammys,  no doesn't look like there is.
[20:37] <kbrooks> cew27_, this channel is about ubuntu, not mint
[20:37] <cew27_> prince_jammys: no mint is a distro i worded that wronf im on xchat lol sorry i realise this is off topic
[20:37] <emma> maybe it needs to be mounted. but if it wasn't mounted then why does it show up with its own icon on the desktop?
[20:37] <emma> and i can read the files and such?
[20:37] <Arelis> NigelS: I mean lockups of a random kind, but also things like apt-get giving segmentation faults (and apt-get is a really stable part of the system..)
[20:37] <cew27_> kbrooks: i was just testing if the irc worked ill leave now
[20:37] <prince_jammys> emma: if you can view the contents, then it's mounted
[20:38] <clocKwize> hi, when i'm trying to install it goes to busybox prompt with (initfs), when i look in casper.log, it says it can't find any hard drives, i've got SATA using nf4?
[20:38] <emma> It does not have an entry in fstab
[20:38] <prince_jammys> emma: is there more than one ext3 filesystem in fstab?
[20:38] <NigelS> Arelis: ah, now that does sound like HD corruption
[20:38] <christophe> hi
[20:38] <sirius-black> hi
[20:39] <NigelS> Arelis: apt-get has been known to seg fault if its package cache is corrupted
[20:39] <Arelis> NigelS: But i did a test using smarthdutils or something like that - and it gave a PASSED
[20:39] <chris710> how can i download code blocks?
[20:39] <sirius-black> chris710: download code blocks?
[20:39]  * dax_roc is sick of hardy :| 
[20:39] <emma> prince_jammys,  yes my root and home partition are both ext3
[20:39]  * badboy ciaooo
[20:40] <prince_jammys> emma but no other is listed. correct?
[20:40] <chris710> sirius-black>yes,code:blocks,an IDE
[20:40] <sirius-black> hmm
[20:40] <emma> yes.
[20:40] <arcade> Ah, finally got rid of utf8 and got good old iso-8859-1 :D
[20:40] <sirius-black> chris710: haha, okay, srry XD im new so i dont know
[20:41] <NigelS> Arelis: hmm, I would suggest using SMART yes - perhaps checking its full results? Otherwise that's a bit of a mystery - if apt-get crashes though try deleting its /var/cache/apt/*.bin files
[20:41] <chris710> ok...
[20:41] <Arelis> NigelS: I tested my memory today, though - i let it run for about 5 hours (4:10), and it gave no single error.
[20:41] <Belisarivs> Hi. I'm back
[20:41] <emma> It makes no sense to me why it's not in fstab but it's mounted.
[20:41] <prince_jammys> emma: type --> mount | grep /media/disk
[20:41] <sirius-black> anyway, what do i do to install the files i get from this command: svn co http://subversion.jackaudio.org/jack/trunk/jack?
[20:41] <NigelS> emma: quite easily - fstab is for static mounts whereas dynamic mounts are handled by HAL, DBUS and gnome-mount
[20:42] <Arelis> NigelS: I've been helped earlier here to diagnose the problem and they've already exerted many of the options of SMART. Like running a new test, checking the queue, and then checking again.
[20:42] <prince_jammys> emma: there you go
[20:42] <emma> /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev)
[20:42] <Belisarivs> When I mount remote dir via nfs, it's owner is set to dhcp and grpoup syslog
[20:42] <dax_roc> Any one know a channel where ubuntu-hardy is topic ?
[20:42] <emma> NigelS,  Oh well that explains it.
[20:42] <sirius-black> can you even install from that?
[20:42] <Belisarivs> it is absolutely weird and I have no idea what to do
[20:42] <Belisarivs> could you help?
[20:43] <L3ttuc3> is there a list of the files saved inside /var/cache/apt/archives? i mean, to tell apt it does not need to download those files again, but that they're already present there and can be installed from that location?
[20:43] <Belisarivs> I'm desperate
[20:43] <prince_jammys> emma yes but you still need to write to it
[20:43] <chris710> does anyone knows how to install Code:Blocks?
[20:43] <emma> I just did a mount | grep /media/disk and it said this: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev)
[20:43] <NigelS> !hardy | dax_roc
[20:43] <ubotu> dax_roc: 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
[20:43] <Arelis> NigelS: It is very weird, though. I tried using Debian because it is more stable according to people, but after about 1 day of using it, apt-get went segmentation faulting (well, not actually apt-get, but the dpkg program. It crashed when it should've said "(Reading database..." (installed it the day before, had problems the day after)
[20:43] <belor1> Whats the name of the KDE program that allows you to setup a small network server
[20:43] <K-Ton> Good night all
[20:43] <emma>  I just did a mount | grep /media/disk and it said this: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev)
[20:43] <L3ttuc3> my real question is, if you've saved those files from one machine, and wish to install them onto a different machine, would copying them to that location make apt look for them there first before trying to download them or will that not work?
[20:43] <dax_roc> Thanks NigelS, appreciate it
[20:43] <NigelS> L3ttuc3: yes, apt caches tehre
[20:44] <Belisarivs> Anybody, please help
[20:44] <soulburnr> noob question: is internet connetion sharing available on ubuntu via ipchains/tables or any other way?
[20:44] <Arelis> NigelS: Were you talking to me instead of L3ttuc3?
[20:44] <L3ttuc3> NigelS so if i've got those .deb files on one machine, and just copy it to that directory on another machine, apt should look in the cache first before trying to download?
[20:44] <emma> When I go to disk properties it says that the owner is root and the group is root.
[20:45] <emma> That needs to be changed some how, I think.
[20:45] <prince_jammys> emma:  maybe you can try remounting after all those permissions changes
[20:45] <emma> Okay.
[20:45] <emma> How do you remount?
[20:45] <Belisarivs> could you help, please
[20:45] <Belisarivs> ?
[20:45] <emma> Should HAL or something be edited so that it is permenant?
[20:45] <chris710> Belisarivis>ask your question directly
[20:45] <prince_jammys> emma first --> umount /media/disk    unmounts it
[20:46] <NigelS> L3ttuc3: you know, I've never tried that :) it might keep an internal list of files in the cache or it may just first check that dir - it should be quick to try it
[20:46] <prince_jammys> emma sudo
[20:46] <emma> this is a USB connected external hard drive so every time I turn on the computer it will mount itself.
[20:46] <Belisarivs> When is nfs mounted, it changes ownership of mounted dir to owner dhcp and group syslog. How to fix it?
[20:46] <Belisarivs> Nobody knows?
[20:46] <Arelis> NigelS: So you're saying those problems may be a faulty harddisk?
[20:46] <NigelS> Arelis: yes, I can't explain that behaviour outside of a hardware problem - certainly afaik there's no known issue that could explain it
[20:46] <L3ttuc3> NigelS sure, i was hoping someone would have the answer :P, i will try that...
[20:46] <emma> that worked, it's gone from the desktop
[20:46] <L3ttuc3> Arelis we've told you that before. faulty hardware.
[20:46] <Arelis> NigelS: if it would turn out not to be the harddisk, what else would cause it?
[20:46] <sirius-black> how do you install files using the SVN command?
[20:47] <Belisarivs> Please guys, help.
[20:47] <emma> I unmounted /media/disk
[20:47] <Arelis> L3ttuc3: Yes which is why i have the original harddrive now that was placed inside this PC when it was made. However, it still has windows on it, and i don't want to damage that.
[20:47] <emma> now mount media disk?
[20:47] <prince_jammys> emma:    then       sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/disk
[20:47] <L3ttuc3> Arelis it could be anything hardware. poorly mounted memory modules, loose soldering, anything.
[20:48] <emma> mount point /media/disk does not exist
[20:48] <NigelS> Arelis: as I say, I can't see a cause outside of disk corruption - especially if the package cache db is being damaged
[20:48] <NigelS> prince_jammys: the /media mountpoints are dynamically created by HAL etc
[20:48] <foo> Ok, I am in ubuntu with xfce and compiz. I have 4 xterms on one workspace, on the one on the right I have firefox. When I ctrl+alt+right arrow to the workspace on the right (with firefox)... it's choppy. Any ideas?
[20:48] <confrey> hi everybody
[20:49] <prince_jammys> NigelS: do you know how to mount it?
[20:49] <emma> I think I should unplug the usb and plug it back in...
[20:49] <Arelis> NigelS: It's been damaged a previous time too. But a reboot usually fixes this kind of stuff. I just don't want to reboot every time when i'm doing something.
[20:49] <Belisarivs> waste of time. Sorry for bothering you. I'll find by myself.
[20:49] <prince_jammys> emma: ok
[20:49] <sirius-black> how do you install files using the SVN command?
[20:49] <loa> hello, how i can disable cdrom request in cdrom
[20:49]  * dax_roc recons time to switch distro
[20:49] <loris> hello y a t il quelle qun de fr
[20:49] <loa> in apt-get
[20:49] <emma> It just mounted itself.
[20:49] <[chr0n0s]> hi, i have compiz installed and running, including awn, now how do i ensure next time i reboot my pc starts with compiz again
[20:49] <emma> It seems that with USB stuff it mounts itself.
[20:49] <L3ttuc3> NigelS i'll let you know if i find the answer to my question.
[20:50] <loa> hello, how i can disable cdrom request in apt-get update
[20:50] <exneo> hey I want to use the network proxy under preferances but how is their a url that will auto config a proxy
[20:50] <prince_jammys> emma yes thats what NigelS was pointing out
[20:50] <Arelis> NigelS: But, when apt-get segmentation faults at the part where it's going to read the database and installs the package, it's a broken cache and so the harddrive caused it?
[20:50] <danand> emma - does your disk show up in /etc/mtab?
[20:50] <NigelS> prince_jammys: you can mount with the "computer" section of gnome - there's also a gnome-mount app or just give it a real mountpoint
[20:50] <loris> salut
[20:50] <emma> danand would i check that by doing cat /etc/mtab?
[20:50] <prince_jammys> emma yes
[20:50] <danand> emma - yes
[20:50] <emma> It mounted again when I plugged the usb back in but it still shows that the user is root and the user group is root. So I cannot create a new folder.
[20:50] <loris> please  help me in fr
[20:51] <LjL> !fr | loris
[20:51] <ubotu> loris: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[20:51] <sirius-black> how do you install files using the SVN command?
[20:51] <exneo> what url should I use or software package
[20:51] <NigelS> Arelis: I can't guarantee it but yes, I can say that a corrupted package cache can cause apt-get to seg fault
[20:51] <loris> thx
[20:51] <prince_jammys> NigelS: you mean by creating a folder for it to mount, right?
[20:51] <foo> elcasey: yeah, I'm trying in there as well.t hanks
[20:51] <foo> hm, weird, if i put an xterm in front of firefox and focus on xterm, it's fine... but if I focus on firefox, it's not. bleh.
[20:51] <Arelis> NigelS: and that's usually caused by a broken harddrive?
[20:51] <emma> Yes it shows up in the last line of /etc/mtab
[20:52] <emma> it says: /dev/sdb1 /media/disk ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
[20:52] <sirius-black> how do you install applications from a website(i have gotten this command from the jack site, but it only shows the contents: svn co http://subversion.jackaudio.org/jack/trunk/jack)
[20:52] <danand> emma - can you paste just that line?
[20:52] <emma> Yes: /dev/sdb1 /media/disk ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
[20:52] <danand> emma - never mind - got it :)
[20:53] <NigelS> prince_jammys: yep, the old style way - there are lots of config options you can give udev and hal too but they're a bit obscure in that afaik there's no nice gui for ppl to use - you can give entries in /etc/fstab with UID though which is necessary of course since there's no guarantee that a removeable drive would get the same letter allocation unless you also configured udev to do that - which couldn't be known in advance by devs
[20:53] <sirius-black> how do you install applications from a website(i have gotten this command from the jack site, but it only shows the contents: svn co http://subversion.jackaudio.org/jack/trunk/jack)
[20:53] <emma> You see this is my external hard drive. I want to be able to use it to put things like music and movies and documents on it. But I cannot make a folder in it to put that stuff in there.
[20:53] <emma> But there is already a lot of files in it that I can see and even read.
[20:53] <Arelis> sirius-black: applications in Ubuntu are usually not as up-to-date as Linux tends to be, because things tend to get unstable. What you were trying to do was install an application from source, which is not a good habit on Ubuntu
[20:53] <emma> Because I copied my old home folder into it before I reinstalled Ubuntu.
[20:53] <prince_jammys> emma right
[20:54] <sirius-black> arelis: then how do i compile the source? XD
[20:54] <NigelS> Arelis: I don't think logically you can say that a corrupted package cache indicates that a HD is faulty - the same thing could happen if the transfer went wrong - I saw someone have a problem with adept that caused that problem
[20:54] <L3ttuc3> NigelS that's brilliant. you just have to place the package in the /var/apt/cache/archive directory, synaptic looks there first. if it finds the package there, it will install from there, otherwise, it will try to download it.
[20:54] <danand> emma - you can probably solve your problem by adding an entry to /etc/fstab like /dev/sdb1 /media/usb ext3 rw,users,noauto 0 0
[20:54] <Arelis> sirius-black: You have to install the package 'svn' or maybe it's called 'subversion'. Ubuntu updates it's packages when new releases get there.
[20:54] <soulburnr> noob question: is internet connetion sharing available on ubuntu via ipchains/tables or any other way?
[20:54] <NigelS> L3ttuc3: cool, I was pretty sure there was no internal list - apt-get just must try open it there first, cool :)
[20:55] <emma> when you said 'users' do you really type users or do you put emma
[20:55] <Pelo> soulburnr,  throught firestarted I beleive, but I am not very sure, possibly through samba
[20:55] <NigelS> danand: except of course that presumes that the USB drive is always /dev/sdb1
[20:55] <L3ttuc3> NigelS that is, solves a number of issues about migration. :) i should be getting a new hard disk soon, would be a pain to download all the stuff i've already got all over again. thanks for the pointers. laters.
[20:55] <Arelis> NigelS: In 1 day after a clean (formatted partition) install of Debian? I used apt-get, aptitude and Synaptic
[20:55] <soulburnr> Pelo, ok, thanks im going to check out the ubuntu, i was installing it but it froze during the 'scanning security repository' thing
[20:56] <HEP85> is there a special channel for x-server issues?
[20:56] <exneo> hey how do I configure a system wide proxy for ubuntu that is anonymous
[20:56] <NigelS> Arelis: they all use the same file - frontends to the same design
[20:56] <andlo> soulburnr: yes - and firestarter is a easy gui to config it with
[20:56] <soulburnr> im going to boot via the live disk and check it out
[20:56] <soulburnr> make sure i want it
[20:56] <soulburnr> andlo, thanks
[20:56] <soulburnr> i will be back in a bit on ubuntu incase i screw something up :)
[20:56] <Steven__> i have a problem opening synaptic i get the error message E:dpkg was interrupted i must manually configure -a does any one know how to do that
[20:56] <soulburnr> thanks guys, bbs :)
[20:56] <Pelo> !proxy
[20:56] <ubotu> Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
[20:56] <sirius-black> arelis: i have installed the svn package, because i can use the svn co command, but it shows the contents of the folder(and subfolders), so how do i update the packages?
[20:56]  * Pelo was not expecting that 
[20:57] <NigelS> Steven__: dpkg --configure -a should do it

[20:58] <bluefoxx> yo, are SATA drives hot-swapable in linux?meaning can i power up my SATA drive, plug in a cable and have it show up?cause i dont really want to reboot my computer, problems arise...like freezing while loading hardware drivers...
[20:58] <Pelo> HEP85,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   when in doubt use the default answer provided
[20:58] <k4k> bluefoxx: if you unmount them first, yes
[20:58] <k4k> I believe they can be hot-swapped
[20:59] <mad_max02> bluefoxx, you can plug in Sata drive with no problems
[20:59] <mad_max02> bluefoxx, I use eSata HDD all the time
[20:59] <emma> Okay so the strategy is to make the directory in the external hard drive and give that directory permision to emma
[20:59] <HEP85> Pelo: Actually I know that a simple gdm restart helps
[20:59] <Pirate_Hunter> hi back again how can I delete all configurations made on Exaile, ive tried looking at .config in home but there wasn't a folder for Exaile, can someone tell me how to do it?
[20:59] <mad_max02> bluefoxx,  only problem is that I dont know how to automount it
[20:59] <bluefoxx> k4k, well, its not mounted in the first place...its not in the computer yet...cause my cable was shorted out by a bad soundcard somehow
[20:59] <k4k> mad_max02: do you have some sort of enclosure for your esata drives?
[20:59]  * bluefoxx curses zoltrix
[20:59] <bluefoxx> brb
[21:00] <mad_max02> k4k,  nope :D I just have some drives laying around that I use :D
[21:00] <Pirate_Hunter> emma: do you actually want to knwo how to do it or are you going to explain, was that even a question?
[21:00] <k4k> bluefoxx: my point is, is that you just have to mount it manually when you plug it in and unmount it when you're done before you remove it
[21:00] <k4k> mad_max02: o, I always wondered if they made esata enclosures, do you know if they do?
[21:00] <emma> Pirate_Hunter,  I need to know how to do it.
[21:00] <prince_jammys> emma: its not very clear, but first i would unmount --- then make the folder /media/disk/whatever and then remount,   according to that post
[21:00] <Smegzor> I've just booted up and nautilus is using 50% cpu but I haven't used it yet.  Should I kill the task or could there be some legitimate reason for that activity?  I'm not aware of any non-interactive tasks nautilus does.
[21:00] <clocKwize> hi, when i'm trying to install it goes to busybox prompt with (initfs), when i look in casper.log, it says it can't find any hard drives, i've got 2 sata drives on a nforce 4 based motherboard and it seems to just not see them
[21:00] <mad_max02> k4k, ofc. Theres much models that u can choose from
[21:01] <mad_max02> k4k, I just never got me one. I'm lazy when it comes to shopping :D
[21:01] <bluefoxx> k4k, ok, how would i detect it? lssata?or modprobe?
[21:01] <prince_jammys> emma: first giving the new folder your ownership and permissions
[21:01] <Pelo> Smegzor, nautilus manages your desktop , it might also be currently creating a bunch of tumbnails
[21:01] <emma> I thought the post is saying to make a folder called 'data' in the external hard drive and then give THAT folder rights that emma can use
[21:01] <AfroRowan> danand it worked perfectly thanks again !!! prince_jammys thanks for giving me the link of the boot screen fix... it worked perfectly !!
[21:01] <mad_max02> k4k, do you maybe know is there any way to make hdd automount on esata ??
[21:01] <k4k> mad_max02: sweet, that helps a bunch, I can make an esata enclosure then for my mini-ITX system then
[21:01] <prince_jammys> AfroRowan: good
[21:01] <Pirate_Hunter> emma: ok easy step just type "gksudo nautilus" in terminal and make a folder somewhere than right click on it and change permission in permission tab
[21:01] <AfroRowan> :)
[21:01] <Smegzor> ok i'll leave it for a bit and see if it sorts itself out.
[21:02] <k4k> bluefox: I always just do "fdisk -l" to see all drives mounted and unmounted alike
[21:02] <sirius-black> installing build-essential packages...
[21:02] <kebinusan> So  I added this line to /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules, KERNEL=="event[1]", NAME="input/%k", GROUP="ventrilo", MODE="0660", but Im finding that the event I need to reference changes sometimes when I restart, is there anyway to be more specific about which device should be referenced
[21:02] <Pirate_Hunter> hi back again how can I delete all configurations made on Exaile, ive tried looking at .config in home but there wasn't a folder for Exaile, can someone tell me how to do it?
[21:02] <k4k> mad_max02: not off hand, I wish I did, I would do it for my jump drive
[21:02] <prince_jammys> emma: yes, but if your disk is mounted i dont think you will be allowed to make that folder
[21:02] <Arelis> sirius-black: I have to go now. good luck :)
[21:02] <sirius-black> arelis: good bye
[21:02] <FD_F> i have install problem i get FATAL error when install grub on ubuntu  setup somone can help me? thanks
[21:02] <k4k> bluefoxx: then I add it into my fstab linked to a folder on home directory for easy mounting
[21:03] <bostik> hi all
[21:04] <Pirate_Hunter> hi back again how can I delete all configurations made on Exaile, ive tried looking at .config in home but there wasn't a folder for Exaile, can someone tell me how to do it?
[21:04] <loris> s est ou le reseau fr
[21:05] <bostik> is there someone who know how to use map_static option in nfs ??
[21:05] <NigelS> Pirate_Hunter: if the config file comes with the package then you can see where it installs all files by using synaptic  - finding the package and checking its properties - or at the CLI you can type dpkg -L exaile to list all files - to purge all files of a package you can use the --purge switch to apt-get though this won't remove files not known about to the package
[21:05] <sirius-black> question, if you're given a link, in the form of svn co http://subversion.jackaudio.org/jack/trunk/jack/, and it's got hundreds of files in it, how do you download all of them quickly all at the same time?

[21:05] <HEP85> As long as I have the font path in xorg.conf I keep getting this error: /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
[21:05] <AfroRowan> does anyone knows a similar program of NewsLeecher for ubuntu ?
[21:05] <HEP85> But I need the fonts for imagemagick
[21:05] <soap> when I get an error message about "ata2" - is that a PATA device or a SATA device?
[21:05] <NigelS> AfroRowan: what is newsleecher? just an RSS reader? liferea can do that
[21:05] <sirius-black> nigels: i know, but i want to download the files, not look at them
[21:05] <clocKwize> hi, when i'm trying to install it goes to busybox prompt with (initfs), when i look in casper.log, it says it can't find any hard drives, i've got 2 sata drives on a nforce 4 based motherboard and it seems to just not see them, anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
[21:06] <AfroRowan> NigelS NewsLeecher is a usenet binairiesdownloader
[21:06] <norml_advocate> Will someone help me  activate my broadcom 43xx wireless internet card?  PLEASE
[21:06] <norml_advocate> any one know how to make 43xx wireless work?
[21:07] <emma> This is bizare. I just used gksusu nautilus to go in as root. I went to the /media/disk directory and I made a new directory inside of it called Data and gave permisions to emma.  Now I can create directories inside of /media/disk/data  but not inside of /media/disk !!!!
[21:07] <killux> whats a good panel to replace gnome panel?
[21:07] <soap> I ASSume "ata2" is sdb?
[21:07] <NigelS> sirius-black: again..that's what svn co does :) use it at the cmdline - so for example, make a dir that you want to contain the source and run the svn co command
[21:07] <emma> Does that make any sense to anyone?
[21:08] <newbie> does anyone know where I can get nice desktop backgrounds for ubuntu? I'm tired of the brown standard backgnd
[21:08] <prince_jammys> emma ok try remounting
[21:08] <Pirate_Hunter> NigelS: im not trying to delete exaile or its dependencies what im trying to do is erase the configuration that makes it look for music in the music folder which was in a different hard disk which im not using and all other configs
[21:08] <jrib> emma: and you are still using the gksudo nautilus or?
[21:08] <norml_advocate> HEY!  wireless over here
[21:08] <emma> No I'm not using gksu nautilus anymore.
[21:08] <norml_advocate> anyone care?
[21:08] <norml_advocate> nope ok
[21:08] <sirius-black> hmm... so, how do you define where it should store the files

[21:08] <AfroRowan> ill ask again
[21:09] <jrib> emma: what filesystem is this?
[21:09] <emma> jrib - Because it is my computer and my external hard drive, I thought I should be able to create directories in it.
[21:09] <Bliz1> how do i install 32bit apps on the 64bit distro
[21:09] <nickrud> emma: that's exactly right. disk doesn't have permissions, but data does. permissions are not recursive
[21:09] <prince_jammys> emma: what happens when you now remount the disk?
[21:09] <emma> the whole external hard drive is formated ext3
[21:09] <AfroRowan> Does anyone knows a Usenet downloader like newsleecher for ubuntu ?
[21:09] <jrib> emma: what does 'ls -l /media/disk' return?

[21:09] <Sonja> how do i search thru my entire desktop for a file?
[21:10] <NigelS> Pirate_Hunter: right, so if you don't know where the config file is then the cmds I suggested will show you where the package puts all its files - failing that I suggest you check their web site
[21:10] <emma> but while I was gksu nautilus I went and I changed permisions to /disk to emma and group to emma and it doesn't let me create folders in disk, but it does in disk/data

[21:18] <tam> can anyone help with a vncserver viewing size? my screen that i want to use is 1440x900 but i don't know the args to change the size, can anyon help or point me in the correct direction?
[21:18] <AfroRowan> how do i copy a file when i need sudo permissions ?
[21:18] <jrib> !please > Bliz1 (read the private message from ubotu)
[21:18] <RedHeron> Bliz1: try Adept Manager

[21:18] <Meskarune> Ok, my friend has a dell inspirion 8600. It went into hybernation mode. When he tried to resume, the screen stayed blank, so he restarted. And logged in. After logging in, he got the error "could not fine the \home\salfiler directory" and asked if he wanted to create the directory. he clicked yes, and then ubuntu restarted. He tried logging in again, and the same thing happened: cannot create directory, he clicked create, 
[21:18] <Meskarune> he started it in safe mode and now when he boots, he boots into the terminal. He told me that it gives him errors about his graphics card? Is there something i can tell him to do to fix this so he can log in normally? Any advice or links to similar problems that have been solved would be really appreciated.

[21:26] <norml_advocate> how do i use ndiswrapper>
[21:26] <norml_advocate> ?
[21:26] <nucco> norml_advocate: install it from synaptic, and read the manuals... it should have a gui
[21:26] <norml_advocate> where are the manuals?
[21:26] <norml_advocate> im a complete newb
[21:26] <AfroRowan> how do i copy a file when i need sudo ?
[21:26] <nucco> norml_advocate: perhaps in a help menu somewhere in the gui. never used it.
[21:27] <norml_advocate> cant find the gui
[21:27] <glick> hmm ubuntu is inconsistant when it loads
[21:27] <jrib> AfroRowan: did you understand what I told you?
[21:27] <AfroRowan> no
[21:27] <nucco> norml_advocate: should be called ndiswrapper-gtk or something
[21:27] <AfroRowan> dunno how to install it
[21:27] <glick> for example it always used to load and mount my xp partition on my desktop, and now it doesnt
[21:27] <glick> but it mounts my dell utilities partition
[21:27] <norml_advocate> do i open it from the terminal
[21:27] <norml_advocate> ?
[21:27] <outofstep> can someone help me with setting up my wireless card in ubuntu? I think its a simple fix, but i cannot figure it out. Please :)
[21:27] <ompaul> norml_advocate, read the documentation I pushed at you already:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs   every step is there
[21:27] <nucco> norml_advocate: sudo apt-get ndisgtk

[21:28] <jrib> AfroRowan: in Ubuntu you install things through Add/Remove (or some package manager you like)
[21:28] <AfroRowan> yes
[21:28] <frost0> i get this error; missing shared libs  libSDL_net-1.2.so.0.......any ideas?
[21:28] <AfroRowan> but how do i add hellanzb ?
[21:28] <glick> whats the error outofstep
[21:28] <Makdaam> hello, I've got a problem with nm-applet in Ubuntu, it doesn't apply manual settings... is it a known issue? Xubuntu 7.10 with all updates
[21:28] <nucco> frost0: you get that error when trying to do what?
[21:28] <norml_advocate> ompaul  i did go over that stuff before, it is pretty complicated, i dont know much about this stuff.  ill go over it right now, but b4 that, is there some easy way?
[21:29] <frost0> nucco, run dangerdeep
[21:29] <frost0> nucco, a game.
[21:29] <ompaul> there is a link in how to do it in a gui
[21:29] <outofstep> it sees the networks drop and add on the list, but all are listed at 0%, so when i put in the wep info its not connecting
[21:29] <ompaul> in there
[21:29] <jrib> AfroRowan: go to System -> Administration -> Software sources and ensure you have enabled the Universe Repository
[21:29] <norml_advocate> ok
[21:29] <norml_advocate> thanks
[21:29] <darknature> How much of a difference is Xubunu compared to Ubuntu?
[21:29] <AfroRowan> yes i have jrib
[21:30] <PodMan99a> hey all whats the status of 8.04.... is it useable... even in beta stage?
[21:30] <nucco> frost0: means that some package that should be installed isn't installed. i don't know enough 'apt' to figure that out
[21:30] <jetscreamer> !pebkac
[21:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pebkac - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:30] <Makdaam> darknature: Xfce instead of gnome
[21:30] <ompaul> !hardy | PodMan99a

[21:30] <tam> how would i charge the resolution in vncviewer to 1440x900? this config doesn't do it: xterm -geometry 1440x900 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
[21:30] <nucco> darknature: if you got above 512mb of ram, not much.
[21:30] <darknature> ok thanks
[21:30] <jrib> AfroRowan: so go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic  and then install hellanzb there
[21:30] <outofstep> it sees the networks drop and add on the list, but all are listed at 0%, so when i put in the wep info its not connecting
[21:30] <ompaul> !nickspam > pef^zZz
[21:30] <nucco> tam: vncviewer opens the window at the size of the target computer
[21:31] <Makdaam> tam, you have to config the vnc server
[21:31] <nucco> tam: if the window is bigger than your current screen, you use right-click aroud where the scrollbars are to scroll (lame IMO)
[21:31] <onesandzeros> hello all.  Using the ubuntu or kubuntu -alternate isos, does the text-based installer allow you to use existing disk partitions without formatting them?  the standard installers don't.
[21:31] <AfroRowan> thx jrib
[21:31] <sam__> i messed up and changed my monitor settings in gutsy, listed as plugnplay generic, now i cant get back to 800x600. anyone able to help
[21:32] <nucco> onesandzeros: the standard installers allow that too.
[21:32] <bluefox83> onesandzeros, just skip that step
[21:32] <nucco> onesandzeros: but you can't install to an unformatted '/' and '/boot' partition.
[21:32] <frost0> jrib, how would i install libSDL_net-1.2.so.0?
[21:32] <onesandzeros> nucco: right
[21:32] <schloff> hey guys i run Ubuntu Gutsy gibbson it updated to a new kernel and when i run it it errors out saying my intel card might not have enough ram going to it. I updated X11/xorg.conf and gave it 256 megs of ram
[21:32] <onesandzeros> nucco: that's what I need to get around
[21:32] <jrib> frost0: why?
[21:32] <Makdaam> so noone has any problems with manual settings in nm-applet?
[21:32] <onesandzeros> bluefox83: I don't think you can
[21:33] <nucco> onesandzeros: i don't think you can get around that.
[21:33] <frost0> jrib, when i run a game it says missing lib
[21:33] <Makdaam> or do you all have DHCP? :P
[21:33] <nucco> onesandzeros: nothing really important shoudl reside there IMO, except config files which you can back up and restore
[21:33] <Liono> how can i make all apt, synaptic and adept package managing systems to use 2 proxies simultaneiously  to download packages?
[21:33] <jrib> frost0: apt-cache search lib sdl net     will probably give you some hints
[21:33] <Afk> my load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.02  but nothing is running or using proc cycles
[21:33] <nickrud> Makdaam: when I do static, I put it in /etc/network/interfaces
[21:33] <Afk> google says its because theres a thread waiting to be run, whats that mean
[21:33] <onesandzeros> nucco: I've got /oldroot and /oldhome which I don't really have the means to backup or put elsewhere at the moment.
[21:34] <Memnoch> Ubuntu or Gparted just broke my hard drive
[21:34] <onesandzeros> nucco: any idea about the text based installer on the alternate cds?
[21:34] <Liono> how can i make all apt, synaptic and adept package managing systems to use 2 proxies simultaneiously  to download packages?
[21:34] <usr13> schloff: I don't think that would be a kernel error.  Maybe Xserver error?
[21:34] <tam> nucco: Makdaam thanks for the help
[21:34] <nucco> onesandzeros: the text-based installer doesn't do magic :) you still have to formt your root and boot partitions.
[21:34] <nickrud> Memnoch: gparted did that to me also. Had to reinstall both
[21:34] <bluefox83> ok, my wired connection is set to "roaming mode" and when i use it, every time i boot up the machine it gives me yet another eth interface, last checked it was eth22, is there anyway to set it to eth0 and keep it there?
[21:35] <Makdaam> nickrud, the static config has been added to /etc/network/interfaces... even all the addresses match :) but I can't apply it from it
[21:35] <usr13> bluefox83: Yes
[21:35] <onesandzeros> nucco: honestly, it doesn't seem like magic to me.  ubuntu is debian based isn't?  even the debian installer does it
[21:35] <burkmat> Keyboard only registering 2 keys at once, not Ubuntu-only problem, but maybe you guys have a solution?
[21:35] <Makdaam> and I have to change between different network configs frequently
[21:35] <bluefox83> usr13, how?
[21:35] <nickrud> Makdaam: sudo eth0 up / down  (assuming it's eth0)
[21:35] <nucco> onesandzeros: debian installer allows install to an unclean boot partition?... hmmm
[21:35] <Makdaam> ifconfig
[21:35] <Makdaam> done that
[21:35] <nickrud> Makdaam: erm, sudo ifup eth0 up/down that is
[21:36] <Makdaam> doesn't help :)
[21:36] <usr13> bluefox83: edit /etc/iftab
[21:36] <nickrud> Makdaam: strange. Show your interfaces file on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org I guess
[21:36] <frost0> jrib, how do i search for a file quickly in ubuntu via the terminal?
[21:36] <Lordveda> is openchrome driver supported in Ubuntu distribution?
[21:36] <xlyz> hi. how can I recompile and reinstall a module after changing the source code? modules assistant does nothing
[21:37] <nucco> Makdaam: if settings aren't getting applied, try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:37] <xlyz> Lordveda: yes
[21:37] <nickrud> Lordveda: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome is the driver you want
[21:37] <AfroRowan> jrib how do i start the application ?
[21:37] <AfroRowan> i mean where ?
[21:37] <Makdaam> nickrud, damn
[21:37] <usr13> bluefox83: Add lines something like this:  eth0 mac 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  arp 1
[21:37] <Makdaam> there's auto eth0 at the end of the file
[21:37] <onesandzeros> nucco: yes, it does.
[21:37] <Makdaam> didn't notice it before
[21:37] <Makdaam> :)
[21:38] <jrib> AfroRowan: I've never used it.  Try "dpkg -L hellanzb | grep bin" for a hint
[21:38] <Liono> how can i make all apt, synaptic and adept package managing systems to use 2 proxies simultaneiously  to download packages?
[21:38] <Lordveda>    Why doesn't the CD boot on my notebook which includes a chrome 9 graphics driver then?
[21:38] <nickrud> Makdaam: that brings it up at boot
[21:38] <usr13> bluefox83: And eth2 mac 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  arp 1
[21:38] <Lordveda> I mean start X
[21:38] <Lordveda> :)
[21:38] <onesandzeros> nucco: archlinux does, and gentoo's text installer does
[21:38] <jrib> frost0: locate
[21:38] <nickrud> Lordveda: it's not on the cd, that's why :)
[21:38] <AfroRowan> thx jrib found it
[21:38] <onesandzeros> nucco: are you a dev?
[21:39] <burkmat> How can I get my keyboard to register more than 2 keys simultaneously? Any ideas?
[21:39] <nucco> onesandzeros: nope
[21:39] <Andy80> do you know the name of "Disk Mounter" binary? I cannot start it anymore... I would like to try to start it from shell, to be able to see any error.... thanks :)
[21:39] <peter__> hi all, anyone got time to help me with an IDE tape drive problem?
[21:39] <Lordveda> nickrud: how to install ubuntu 7.10 on my notebook then?
[21:39] <Makdaam> nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56415/
[21:39] <nickrud> Lordveda: or, I'm pretty darn sure it's not on the cd that is. You should try installing from the alternate, non gui cd
[21:39] <nucco> onesandzeros: i know that redhat does that too, but i don't recall seeing debian or ubuntu do that.
[21:39] <Lordveda> I mean without X of course
[21:39] <onesandzeros> nucco: deb definitely does.  I've done it 3 or 4 times today, heheh

[21:40] <mad_max02> why does screen saver comes on while I watch the movie in mplayer ???
[21:40] <andlo> AfroRowan: use your favorit editor - i'll use nano - sudo nano /etc/hellanzb.conf
[21:41] <cipriotta> m
[21:41] <nickrud> Makdaam: here's the one I use when I needed a static: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56417/
[21:41] <usr13> mad_max02: Turn it off when watching movies.
[21:41] <mad_max02> any way to set this up other than turning ss off ?
[21:41] <mad_max02> :D
[21:41] <mad_max02> lol
[21:41] <Lordveda> nickrud: What is the alternate CD?
[21:41] <andlo> AfroRowan: you have minimum to put in your newsserver address and login info

[21:41] <prodigel> Hi all. I'm having this problem when trying to update: dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `root' in statoverride file . Do you know how to sole this?
[21:41] <prodigel> solve*
[21:41] <Makdaam> nickrud, anyway... the problem is with changing the files magically through nm-applet
[21:42] <Makdaam> not the files themselves
[21:42] <nickrud> Lordveda: its an install that doesn't use the gui
[21:42] <MetaMorfoziS> hi all
[21:42] <MetaMorfoziS> i have lost the tab complettiion in the terminal
[21:42] <MetaMorfoziS> what does i need to get it back?
[21:42] <nickrud> Makdaam: I skip the nm-applet for static, personally
[21:42] <nucco> Makdaam: if you want to manually configure your interfaces, its probably a good idea to disable nm
[21:42] <Makdaam> I've got scripts to autoconfig my eth and wlan for different networks
[21:42] <Makdaam> ok,
[21:43] <Lordveda> nickrud: is it the same as the original gui CD? Can I start ubuntu installation through console from the main CD?
[21:43] <Makdaam> so I'll just post a bug for nm-applet then maybe someone fixes it :)
[21:43] <AfroRowan> andlo, can we talk in private about this
[21:43] <nucco> Makdaam: long as the scripts don't use nm, you're better off disabling nm. in fact, if you're running a desktop which is mostly static, you might even uninstall nm
[21:43] <AfroRowan> i dont understand this :p
[21:43] <nickrud> Lordveda: no, you can't do a non-gui install with the live cd. You need the alternate one.  releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 .
[21:43] <Makdaam> nucco, the problem is that it's a laptop which has to be reconfigured a few times a day
[21:43] <andlo> AfroRowan: ;) yes - but I dont know how....do you ?
[21:44] <Meskarune> how do i leave safe mode?
[21:44] <Makdaam> I can manage it with scripts, but I know people who are afraid of configs
[21:44] <AfroRowan> double click on my name ?
[21:44]  * andlo got a date ;)
[21:44] <ghfreak51> hello
[21:44] <AfroRowan> LoL
[21:44] <console_jockey> I'm need to create a large banner that will be drawn on two large poster boards.  I want to design it and print the two halves out on 8.5x11 paper so i can scale it up.  Is there a utility that I can use that will let me do this easily?
[21:44]  * nickrud was wonderfully pleased with how nm-applet switched between the static in interfaces and wireless, automagically
[21:44] <nucco> Makdaam: you just wish to configure some manual IPs atm? just use the gnome gui for that
[21:44] <usr13> Meskarune: telinit 3
[21:44] <Lordveda> It is too bad the LiveCD isn't capable of letting the user install otherwise if he can't use the GUI.
[21:44]  * Makdaam uses Xfce, doesn't like gnome
[21:44] <nucco> Lordveda: the DVD can do that.
[21:45] <Makdaam> anyway thanks for help
[21:45] <Flannel> Lordveda: Try the ubiquity-only boot option
[21:45] <Lordveda> nucco: is the DVD bootable and is there a LiveDVD?
[21:45] <peter__> I don't suppose anyone can help me with this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/190638
[21:45] <peter__> ?
[21:45] <nucco> Lordveda: the dvd is like a combination of livecd and alternate, with extra packages on it.
[21:46] <frost0> jrib, what about this package libfftw3f.so.3?
[21:46] <Lordveda> nucco: is the DVD downloadable?
[21:46] <foo> what's the latest ati drivers?
[21:46] <Charliee_foxtrot> Im having WINE issues, anyone know how to solve this issue:   Depends: libaudio2  but it is not installable
[21:46] <nucco> Lordveda: hell yes LOL
[21:46] <andlo> AfroRowan: how to talk private?

[21:51] <AfroRowan> lol... ?
[21:51] <nucco> bluefox83: a reboot should fix it, if it persists, there is a file you can edit, but i can't remember what :p
[21:51] <Lordveda> What about selinux? When would it be available for Ubuntu?
[21:51] <usr13> bluefox83: Not sure, reboot would do it for sure though.  Maybe just restarting the network.  /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:51] <bluefox83> nucco, /etc/network/interfaces?
[21:52] <nucco> no
[21:52] <nucco> bluefox83: its a file that allows you to name the interface by its mac address
[21:52] <weeman13221> can anyone help me with getting a 8800 gts 512mb workin properly in 7.10

[21:53] <dan_m> Good afternoon all.  Brand new user (yesterday).  I do not seem to have any system sounds.  Can anyone possibly tell me where to start looking for the problem? Using soundblaster USB external.  When I do the test, it works fine but not on system sounds.
[21:54] <bluefox83> O.o
[21:54] <usr13> dan_m: Test with:  cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp

[21:55] <DranDane> Hi. question about Grub. Is it possible to install grub on (hd0,3) in the place of the default (hd0) ?
[21:55] <nucco> DranDane: due the the nature of the job grub performs, it sort of needs to be on hd0 :)
[21:55] <jeffMASTERflex> dan_m: i think you should check to see if your device is supported. http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Sound_cards
[21:56] <EmmerP> Is there a shortcut to the window selector?
[21:56] <filthpig> does anyone know if google will release their own gTalk client for linux, or do they rely on 3rd party progs?
[21:56] <AfroRowan> andlo i think it is cause i have not registered my nick at chanserv
[21:56] <Stagger> hello, when i play videos the images are really low-quality, kinda blurry. what should i do? thanks
[21:56] <usr13> DranDane: I don't think so.  Grub writes to MBR of a drive.
[21:56] <DranDane> nucco: so if I change my MBR (for exemple to use Xosl) I remove grub?
[21:56] <dan_m> usr13:  Gave me permission denied.
[21:56] <EmmerP> I try to get rid of mouse using, so a button for showing all the opened windows would be cool
[21:56]  * nucco doesn't know what Xosl is.
[21:56] <usr13> dan_m: That's interesting...
[21:56] <andlo> AfroRowan: ohh so its not me ;) that is a good thing ;)
[21:56] <nucco> DranDane: if you install a new bootloader, it will replace grub
[21:56] <Memnoch> Hey all, Ubuntu destroyed my hard disk. Don't use it.
[21:57] <ghfreak51> how do you load a vmplayer to keep windows but run a virtual ubuntu server
[21:57] <DranDane> nucco: Xosl is another boot loader
[21:57] <danand_> dan_m - type groups in a terminal to check if you are a member of the audio group
[21:57] <nucco> DranDane: if you install a new bootloader, it will replace grub
[21:57] <IndyGunFreak> Memnoch: care to elaborate on that ridiculous statement
[21:58] <usr13> dan_m: aplay -l
[21:58] <Makdaam> funfunfun it appears my problem was not with nm-applet but System->Admin-> Networking all along
[21:58] <nucco> Stagger: what file format?
[21:58] <weeman13221> can anyone help me with getting a 8800 gts 512mb workin properly in 7.10
[21:58] <AfroRowan> andlo come to  #andlovsafro
[21:58] <dan_m> danand: I am a member of audio group
[21:58] <nucco> weeman13221: perhaps your best bet is to use proprietary manager to install closed drivers
[21:58] <weeman13221> ok explain
[21:58] <weeman13221> somewhat newb am i
[21:58] <DranDane> nucco: It's what I did. But Xosl, the new boot loader, can't launch Ubuntu. The weird think is that it can start Fedora.Is it possible to reinstall Grub only?
[21:58] <thechitowncubs> Wow, NVIDIA is doing a good job on their new linux drivers, i didn't even know about nvidia-settings
[21:59] <Memnoch> Sure, I installed Ubuntu today and installed kde and xfce along with it to check them out. I opened up the partition editor because I wanted to install another distro later and share my /home directory on another partition and my hard drive started making loud clicking and scratching noises. Now I can't boot from it or partition it.
[21:59] <Stagger> both avi and dvd discs

[21:59] <nucco> DranDane: if grub can boot all your OSes, then perhaps you should stick to it. do you mean, to reinstall grub without reinstalling ubuntu?
[22:00] <weeman13221> said i needed to install some stuff doing it now
[22:00] <Stagger> nucco: I use VLC, but with Totem it's even worse
[22:00] <Memnoch> So I guess it's just a huge coincidence that it failed at that exact time?
[22:00] <weeman13221> ok ran it again
[22:00] <weeman13221> said i dont need drivers for my things
[22:00] <weeman13221> but i cant get above 800 by 600 resolution
[22:00] <weeman13221> and i cant get the drivers from nvidia to install
[22:00] <weeman13221> or im doing something wrong
[22:00] <nucco> Stagger: i mean, what format is the video you're trying to play? perhaps your video output is set correctly, or you're using the wrong drivers
[22:00] <nucco> what display card you got?
[22:00] <DranDane> nucco: Yes, I mean reinstall grub without reinstalling ubuntu? Is it possible?
[22:00] <U1337> How do i install javascript or adobe media player.So i can listen to music such as on myspace

[22:01] <Memnoch> Well I'm just telling you what happened.
[22:01] <nucco> DranDane: possible, use the alternate-cd, and check ubuntu.com for documetation on that
[22:01] <usr13> dan_m: Is this the original user?
[22:01] <Stagger> nucco: that happens with .avi and DVD discs too
[22:02] <nucco> Stagger: what video card have you got?
[22:02] <dan_m> usr13:  Yes, the only user.  Should I create another?
[22:02] <U1337> How do i install javascript or adobe media player.So i can listen to music such as on myspace. thats the only reason i kinda dont want to use ubuntu . other than that its wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than vista!
[22:02] <DranDane> nucco: Thank you for your help nucco. I'll check the documentation.
[22:02] <Memnoch> what is adobe media player?
[22:03] <Stagger> nucco: i am ashamed to say i have no idea. where to i see it?
[22:03] <ghfreak51> flash player
[22:03] <nucco> DranDane: its doable, just the steps aren't easy to remember.
[22:03] <nucco> Stagger: one moment
[22:03] <U1337> yea flash player i am sorry
[22:03] <usr13> dan_m:  grep audio /etc/group

[22:04] <U1337> IS there like a automated installer that will install java or adobe ?

[22:05] <Sup3rDup3r> hey
[22:05] <Stagger> oh no!
[22:05] <Sup3rDup3r> so kill your downloa
[22:05] <Sup3rDup3r> d
[22:05] <nucco> Stagger: you're probably using vesa drivers, and they don't work at the cards full speed. that's why.
[22:05] <ghfreak51> the ubuntu download?
[22:05] <Stagger> in fact, it does have some problems with effects
[22:05] <Sup3rDup3r> cause your going to have to do it twice
[22:05] <Sup3rDup3r> yup
[22:05] <ghfreak51> k
[22:05] <Stagger> ah

[22:06] <Sup3rDup3r> nice
[22:06] <nucco> Stagger: sort of. i'm not even sure if there are drivers out there.
[22:06] <Sup3rDup3r> now while thats going
[22:06] <lhoerste> is there a way to chmod files in my home dir that were created by another user and not writable by me?

[22:07] <nickrud> Luke: gnome-system-monitor
[22:07] <LukeSkywalker> thx ethand
[22:07] <Stagger> nucco: drivers for 945 should be released at some point right? Or is there a way I can beg the community to work on it?
[22:07] <danand_> dan_m - what is the output of ls -l /dev/dsp?
[22:07] <Makdaam> chuy_max, add an entry in /etc/fstab
[22:07] <nucco> Stagger: the community is working on it: www.intellinuxgraphics.org or is it .com???
[22:08] <weeman13221> still no luck on getting the 8800 gts to work
[22:08] <cecemel> hello

[22:08] <Sup3rDup3r> your going to need QEMU as well http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/
[22:08] <nucco> Stagger: sooner than you might expect. haven't played with ubuntu hardy, so i don't know if its already in there somewhere
[22:08] <chuy_max> Makdaam, but I don't want it mounted always, just once occasionally
[22:08] <Stagger> nucco: good! I'll patiently wait. I am new to linux, it took me forever to switch and now i can give the guys some time. thanks for your help, at least no i now!
[22:08] <Sup3rDup3r> thi is going to let you create a hard drive image in vm format
[22:09] <Stagger> nucco: I meant now i know ;)
[22:09] <Newbuntu2> Hello all
[22:09] <cecemel> I installed xubuntu from an xubuntu 7.10 live cd
[22:09] <Stagger> nucco: thanks for your precious help
[22:09] <Makdaam> chuy_max, ok, if you add a "noauto" option it won't be mounter automaticly
[22:09] <usr13> dan_m: What is your sound card again?
[22:09] <Sup3rDup3r> so on my laptop I created like an 8G vmplayer drive to lay ubuntu on
[22:09] <nucco> Stagger: you're welcome. (i know) :)) i had issues with my ATI X1600 too when i got a new laptop.
[22:09] <usr13> dan_m: aplay -l
[22:09] <cecemel> however I didn't choose any root password, and now I cannot update packages or do anything which requires root password
[22:09] <ghfreak51> k
[22:09] <cecemel> is there a default for that ?
[22:09] <Makdaam> chuy_max, also if you add a gid=123 all users in group number 123 will be able to mount/umount it
[22:09] <dan_m> usr13:  Soundblaster USB
[22:09] <ghfreak51> which one should i download
[22:09] <Sup3rDup3r> you can make it bigger but I wouldn't make it any smaller than say 3G or you'll be stuck
[22:09] <nucco> cecemel: you don't need root password for those
[22:10] <Newbuntu2> I'm having a problem with a fresh install of 7.10: When I connect via VNC from my laptop (winXP), after a minute or two my linux box freezes, and I have to do a hard reboot
[22:10] <Sup3rDup3r> for QEMU?
[22:10] <Makdaam> or was it for access only?

[22:11] <weeman13221> any help on getting a 8800 gts working in 7.10
[22:11] <ghfreak51> k thanks
[22:11] <nucco> weeman13221: you still haven't installed proprietary drivers?
[22:11] <Sup3rDup3r> np
[22:11] <Sup3rDup3r> let me know when you get all that downloaded
[22:12] <cecemel> ok I understand the "sudo" concept, but there is a graphical package update client in my xwindows, and when I try to use it, it asks the administrator passworde
[22:12] <weeman13221> it says in the restricted drivers panel that i dont need any
[22:12] <cecemel> there is no way to use it then ?
[22:12] <dan_m> LjL: Sorry about that.
[22:12] <ConstyXIV> can anyone explain why GConf Editor has no "delete folder" button?
[22:12] <nickrud> cecemel: you use your user password
[22:12] <nucco> cecemel: if you absolutely need the root account, you must manually set a password for it: system > adminstration > users and groups.
[22:12] <danand_> cecemel - as long as you are a member of the admin group you just enter your user password for that
[22:12] <cecemel> nucco thanks
[22:12] <ghfreak51> lol my dl speed is at like 30 for everything
[22:12] <weeman13221> and the drivers from nvidia's site either dont install or im not doing this right
[22:13] <nucco> cecemel: in fact, its a good idea to set a password for it, but avoid using it.
[22:13] <nickrud> ConstyXIV: nope. But, gconftool --recursive-unset /gconf/path will delete the psuedo-folder
[22:13] <nucco> weeman13221: that is the newest nvidia card eh?
[22:13] <weeman13221> yeah
[22:13] <usr13> dan_m: You might try removing and re-installing the sound server packages, see what happens:  sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils  And then:  sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
[22:13] <weeman13221> new G92 revision
[22:13] <Sup3rDup3r> ouch
[22:13] <Newbuntu2> does anyone know what would make my box crash when I connect to it via VNC??
[22:13] <weeman13221> had it for a few weeks now
[22:13] <ghfreak51> lol
[22:13] <nucco> weeman13221: perhaps you should put nicks before your statements :)
[22:13] <danand_> cecemel - you don't need to set a password for root to do what you want to do - its not a good idea
[22:13] <Sup3rDup3r> I'm working on a perl script for work
[22:13] <dan_m> usr13: Will try.  Thanks
[22:13] <ghfreak51> nice
[22:13] <Sup3rDup3r> or atleast thinking about working on one
[22:13] <Sup3rDup3r> ;~)
[22:14] <ghfreak51> hahaha
[22:14] <ConstyXIV> nickrud: then why are the GNOME devs screwing around with a graphical GConf tool if it can't do basic functions?
[22:14] <weeman13221> nucco: yeah its a xfx 512mb 8800 GTS
[22:14] <nucco> danand_: its a good idea to set a password for root because, your recovery console will be open else.
[22:14] <U1337> why cant installing stuff on ubuntu be as easy as windows?
[22:14] <ghfreak51> i'm psyched to finally get linux on this thing
[22:14] <rael> heh
[22:14] <mutable> Hello, Should I use kernel-generci or kernel-386 if I'm on 386 system ?
[22:14] <rael> good question
[22:14] <nucco> U1337: i think its easier than windows
[22:14] <mrtsunami> U1337, it depends how you install it.
[22:14] <mutable> generic, sorry
[22:14] <jimmygoon> Do I need to lock my gtk versions to prevent from losing global_menu?
[22:14] <mrtsunami> If you install it the RIGHT way... :)
[22:14] <nucco> weeman13221: when you run restricted manager, what does it say?
[22:14] <nickrud> ConstyXIV: depends on what you define as a basic function I guess. You'd have to ask on irc.gnome.org
[22:14] <usr13> U1337: What do you mean?
[22:14] <danand_> nucco - aaah! k
[22:15] <usr13> U1337: It isn't?
[22:15] <Sup3rDup3r> s'bout time

[22:15] <polm> What's the best instant messenger for LAN<->LAN communication only?

[22:15] <illriginal> can anyone recommend me a good open source flash developing program?
[22:15] <popey> polm: pidgin with the bonjour plugin

[22:15] <usr13> U1337: Don't think it's harder, just different.
[22:15] <Sup3rDup3r> hey check out this .... this is pretty much what your going to be doing http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-435223-highlight-vmware+video.html
[22:15] <nucco> weeman13221: simple way of saying that card is too new for (cough) ubuntu gutsy :)
[22:15] <U1337> Well like my friend uses ubuntu and so i am trying to get into in but whats the easiest way to install like adobe flash or java?
[22:15] <weeman13221> yeah but last night i was using it
[22:15] <Sup3rDup3r> to create the virtual drive
[22:15] <weeman13221> with good resolution
[22:15] <nucco> weeman13221: only bet is to check if nvidia has linux support for that in their drivers from their site
[22:15] <weeman13221> but no desktop effects
[22:16] <illriginal> can anyone recommend me a good open source flash developing program?
[22:16] <weeman13221> nucco: i did look for their drivers
[22:16] <usr13> U1337: about:plugins
[22:16] <Sup3rDup3r> then we'll edit the config file for vmplayer so you'll have XG of free space to install stuff in ur ubuntu dist
[22:16] <weeman13221> nucco: i have it downloaded
[22:16] <cecemel> ok it works like you say to do it ... i'll try to set the password, but not use it afterwards... Thanks for your help
[22:16] <weeman13221> nucco: but idk if its actually installing
[22:16] <jetscreamer> weeman13221: http://linux.hfds.com/files/n-i.txt
[22:16] <Sup3rDup3r> plus we'll have to add a user name for u .... change the host name ... then reconfig the network stuff
[22:16] <Sup3rDup3r> after that you'll be off and running
[22:16] <ghfreak51> lol we still got a lot of work to do huh
[22:16] <usr13> U1337: And then click on mozilla.org link
[22:17] <nucco> weeman13221: if you think you've installed it, you should reconfigure your display...
[22:17] <Sup3rDup3r> sounds worse than it is

[22:18] <Sup3rDup3r> the ubuntu appliance takes the longest

If you cannot do:  cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp    and it gives you an error indicating that you do not have permission to do it, then that has something to do with it, I am sure, but still, dono what to do about it.
[22:24] <yacc> usr13: I'm not on that box, but file did report a PE executable. When run on Vista it seemed to have no effect, perhaps because the USB device was not present on the Vista box.
[22:24] <ghfreak51> yup
[22:24] <ghfreak51> vmplayer's still got like 15 min
[22:25] <weeman13221> listing of drivers
[22:25] <usr13> yacc: Then you have the wrong file.
[22:25] <nucco> weeman13221: what does the last Driver: ... line read?
[22:25] <Sup3rDup3r> oh man ..... I just found this perl mod ... 'shroud' is a script that will transform perl code into
[22:25] <dan> usr13:  That's OK.  I'll play around for awhile.  Thanks for trying.
[22:25] <Sup3rDup3r> virtually unreadable text, while retaining the full
[22:25] <Sup3rDup3r> functionality of that code.
[22:25] <usr13> yacc: Try downloading drivers for XP system. or win98 system.
[22:25] <bluefox83> restarting the network does NOT work...
[22:25] <weeman13221> Driver "nv"
[22:25] <ghfreak51> haha that's haxxorz man
[22:25] <edju> I want to remove --purge alsa-base.  apt-get will also uninstall ubuntu-minimal, which doesn't sound good.  The man page does not seem to show a way to do one w/o the other.  Am I missing something?
[22:25] <Sup3rDup3r> hahah ..... I think I found the first part of my script
[22:25] <weeman13221> nucco: Driver "nv"
[22:25] <nucco> weeman13221: you are using the opensource nvidia drivers, which don't support your card.
[22:26] <Sup3rDup3r> sub jobSecurity {}
[22:26] <weeman13221> ok so how do i get the proprietary ones or whatever
[22:26] <nucco> weeman13221: you need to change that to the closed newly installed driver. but i don't know what its name is.
[22:26] <ghfreak51> lol
[22:26] <nucco> weeman13221: if you followed the installation for the drivers you got off nvidia, you should have them installed.
[22:26] <weeman13221> nucco: is it the one from their site?
[22:26] <nucco> weeman13221: yes
[22:26] <MsK`> hi
[22:26] <weeman13221> nucco: i followed their thing
[22:26] <weeman13221> nucco: did nothing
[22:26] <MsK`> is there a tool to control the speed of a cd/dvd player ?
[22:27] <Sup3rDup3r> man there are some awesome perl scripts on CPAN
[22:27] <weeman13221> nucco: i still have the file downloaded
[22:27] <nucco> anyone know what nvidia's proprietary drivers are called? weeman13221 needs to make xorg use them :)
[22:27] <U1337> lol omg! i am losing my mind over just trying to install a adobe flash!
[22:27] <jeffMASTERflex> nvidia
[22:27] <weeman13221> nucco: i have the driver file
[22:27] <nucco> weeman13221: be patient. need to find out the name of the module
[22:27] <weeman13221> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run
[22:27] <nucco> weeman13221: if you've installed it, then its just a matter of configuration. just hang on.
[22:27] <nucco> weeman13221: that's the installer.
[22:27] <yacc> usr13: netgear is so nice to offer no drivers for download for that stick ;)
[22:28] <jeffMASTERflex> weeman13221: don't install from that file. that is directly from nvidia. you don't wanna use that
[22:28] <nucco> weeman13221: what i'm looking for, is what that file installed, that we need to change "Driver "nv" " to read
[22:28] <usr13> yacc: Is this a PCI device?
[22:28] <jeffMASTERflex> weeman13221: use the restricted driver manager to install the nvidia driver for you
[22:28] <nucco> jeffMASTERflex: his card is probably not supported by the default on ubuntu gutsy
[22:28] <weeman13221> cant
[22:28] <weeman13221> when i try to use restriced drivers manage
[22:28] <yacc> usr13: USB stick.
[22:28] <weeman13221> it says that i dont need restricted drivers for my hardware
[22:29] <nucco> jeffMASTERflex: he's already installed it, he just needs to reconfigure xorg
[22:29] <sputnick> anyone have a clue ? the followings packages are installed : manpages manpages-dev manpages-fr manpages-fr-dev manpages-fr-extra language-pack-fr language-pack-fr-base language-support-fr    but if i type :   "man -L fr_FR.UTF-8 man" I have the English one...
[22:29] <usr13> yacc: Oh, well, I don't know about those things.... May not be able to get it to work.
[22:29] <usr13> yacc Is this a laptop?
[22:29] <yacc> usr13: Officially only supported on Vista.
[22:29] <jeffMASTERflex> weeman13221: in any case, the name of the module is "nvidia" but the package should have already set up xorg.conf for you
[22:29] <yacc> usr13: nope, a desktop box.
[22:29] <nucco> weeman13221: run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and let me run you thru it step-by-step
[22:30] <weeman13221> nucco: one sec
[22:30] <weeman13221> ok
[22:30] <weeman13221> go
[22:30] <usr13> yacc: Get a PCI card.  Or an ethernet bridge.
[22:30] <ctex> Guys, what software can I use to do a md5 checksum check?

[22:30] <jimmygoon> ctex, md5
[22:30] <jrib> ctex: md5sum
[22:30] <jimmygoon> !md5
[22:30] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows

[22:31] <U1337> urrhhggg   i question why ubuntu is better that windows lol even vista
[22:31] <yacc> usr13: that costs money. That's a "Vista-upgrader" that is frustrated by Vista. So telling him to replace half his hardware is a no-go ;(
[22:31] <weeman13221> nucco:  what xserver driver
[22:31] <nucco> weeman13221: nvidia
[22:31] <DranDane> nucco: Thank you again for your help about grup. I succefuly reinstalled grup and Ubuntu works again.
[22:31] <nucco> DranDane: you're welcome :)
[22:31] <yacc> usr13: And I have already an "Unsupported" on his nice Scanner, which is not nice ;(
[22:31] <nucco> weeman13221: is 'nvidia' listed in there?
[22:31] <weeman13221> no
[22:31] <weeman13221> just nv
[22:31] <nucco> weeman13221: you scrolled thru?
[22:32] <aLeSD> hi all
[22:32] <dduong> nucco:  question, should he install vesa first to test things out?
[22:32] <weeman13221> nucco: looked at em all
[22:32] <weeman13221> nucco: not there
[22:32] <jimmygoon> Are the powers that be planning on having thunderbird 3.0 use native gtk also?
[22:32] <nucco> weeman13221: then you didn't succeed in installing the drivers.
[22:32] <weeman13221> ok so the command never ran
[22:32] <nucco> dduong: if he can run those commands, then i'm sure he doesn't need vesa
[22:32] <U1337> soooooo much copying and pasteing!
[22:32] <jeffMASTERflex> weeman13221: if the .run package was installed correctly, the diver package should have automatically set up xorg.conf for you with no effort on your part
[22:32] <dduong> nucco: true.
[22:32] <nucco> weeman13221: pls follow the installation instructions more carefully
[22:32] <dduong> nucco:  nvm then :P  sorry was just helping out :)
[22:32] <weeman13221> nucco: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run
[22:33] <weeman13221> nucco: thats what the site tells me to run
[22:33] <nucco> dduong: he he, not a problem :)
[22:33] <weeman13221> nucco: never says where or anything
[22:33] <jeffMASTERflex> weeman13221: use sudo
[22:33] <arbir> hello, is there a way, i can widen by scroll bars ?
[22:33] <nucco> weeman13221: you should do "sudo"  before that command
[22:33] <Sup3rDup3r> still DL'ing?
[22:34] <nucco> weeman13221: in a terminal, type 'sudo ' with a space, then drag and drop the file in the terminal, and press enter.
[22:34] <ghfreak51> yea vmplayer stopped dl'ing and it wont resume
[22:34] <weeman13221> nucco : um that no good
[22:34] <ctex> how can I do a checksum for a DVD?
[22:34] <U1337> I WILL INSTALL FLASH AND JAVA BEFORE THE DAYS ENDS!!!!
[22:34] <weeman13221> and when i originally did the command with sudo
[22:34] <prince_jammys> ctex: there's a command "md5sum"     man md5sum
[22:34] <U1337> my goal for the day
[22:34] <nucco> weeman13221: any messages in the terminal?
[22:35] <arbir> hello @ nucco
[22:35] <weeman13221> nuco: sh: Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run
[22:35] <nucco> arbir: hi
[22:35] <nucco> weeman13221: you're sure the download completed fine?
[22:35] <arbir> is there a way, i can widen by scroll bars ? @ nucco
[22:35] <IndyGunFreak> U1337: well installing either one is not difficult.
[22:35] <weeman13221> yeah
[22:35] <IndyGunFreak> shouldn't take you more than 5-10min
[22:36] <weeman13221> nucco: yeah im sure its the file
[22:36] <nucco> weeman13221: then you're in the wrong directory
[22:36] <Sup3rDup3r> thats weird
[22:36] <nucco> weeman13221: is the file in your home directory?
  canu walk me thru it i am using ubuntu x64
[22:36] <weeman13221> nucco: on my desktop
[22:36] <Sup3rDup3r> what about the qemu thing?
[22:36] <nucco> arbir: don't quite understand you.

[22:36] <ghfreak51> thats done
[22:36] <ubotu> U1337 you should have researched 64bit issues a bit better: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava

[22:37] <DranDane> New problem. Do you have an idea why I can surf without any problem on my Intranet but cannot access the Internet? (I just installed Ubuntu / I use a wifi router)
[22:37] <weeman13221> nucco: huh?
[22:37] <edju> I want to remove --purge alsa-base.  apt-get will also uninstall ubuntu-minimal, which doesn't sound good.  The man page does not seem to show a way to do one w/o the other.  How to remove alsa-base but leave ubuntu-minimal?
[22:37] <arbir> nucco: my resolution is 1920x1200 and the scroll bars are very narrow.. i would like a slightly thicket scroll bar... or else, i end up squinting my eyes to aim my mouse on the scroll bars
[22:37] <Sup3rDup3r> do the qemu drive creation
[22:37] <ghfreak51> k
[22:37] <Sup3rDup3r> how big of a drive are you thinking about giving it?
[22:37] <jeffMASTERflex> nucco: you are not in the same folder as the run file
[22:37] <ghfreak51> 8 gigs a bit
[22:37] <nucco> arbir: not a way that i can think of. maybe a different theme... i have 1680x1050, but mine ain't so bad
[22:37] <ghfreak51> enough*^
[22:38] <toresn> do any of you know if abcde (a better cd encoder) have its own irc channel?
[22:38] <jeffMASTERflex> type cd ~/Desktop then complete the commands
[22:38] <nucco> jeffMASTERflex: that should be directed at weeman13221
[22:38] <nucco> weeman13221: do what jeffMASTERflex says
[22:38] <Sup3rDup3r> sounds good
[22:38] <silent> is there a way to specify desired clock speed? I can see the cpu scale with the gnome cpu frequency applet, but I'm wondering if there is a way to specify max/min clocks
[22:38] <arbir> nucco: i have set my DPI at 120 and still no avail
[22:38] <weeman13221> nucco: my terminal starts out in the desktop directory
[22:39] <nucco> weeman13221: then put a ./ before the name of the file
[22:39] <Sup3rDup3r> follow that processdure and let me know if u have any q's
[22:39] <joejojo> I have a ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series vid card.  Which driver should I specify in screens and graphics if I am already usinging the ATI "restricted" driver?
[22:39] <filthpig> does anyone know if google will release their own gTalk client for linux, or do they rely on 3rd party progs?
[22:39] <arbir> nucco: with change in theme, my window control buttons have become large.. but still overall, the menus, and other window titles etc are still small. i need to squint
[22:39] <weeman13221> nucco: um
[22:39] <danand_> edju - why do you want to remove alsa-base?
[22:39] <nucco> weeman13221: sudo sh ./NVi....
[22:39] <silent> arbir, change the font size
[22:39] <Sup3rDup3r> you want to unzip the dir and in it you will find the qemu-img
[22:40] <iKap> Im having trouble playing streaming files can someone help me out? It seems to be working fine but i get no audio or video but totem says its "streaming" and the duration its been playing for.. any ideas?
[22:40] <U1337> is there a site where like on windows i click and it installs and BOOM its there and i dont have to worry about it? jw
[22:40] <rufus> I believe that somewhere there is a tutorial that shows you how to make your desktop background a terminal? can someone point me to that page?
[22:40] <arbir> filthpig: i wish google released a native messenger for linux or pidgin supported text chat
[22:40] <danand_> edju - are you planning to reinstall afterwards?
[22:40] <Sup3rDup3r> command
[22:40] <weeman13221> nucco: no good
[22:40] <nucco> arbir: use system > preferences > appearance
[22:40] <nucco> weeman13221: what's the error message?
[22:40] <jrib> weeman13221: why are you not using Restricted Drivers Manager?
[22:40] <arbir> silent: i changed font size and it rather looks weird
[22:40] <ctex> is there anyway of installing ubuntu without burning it to a cd? The reason I am asking is that I am installing "Ubuntu Ultimate Edition", and it's having problems with the CD. The checksum seems to have failed
[22:40] <edju> danand_, Yes, to a higher version.
[22:40] <rufus> or if theres a program that does it?
[22:40] <Sup3rDup3r> run that like this qemu-img create -f vmdk ubuntu.vmdk 8G
[22:40] <weeman13221> christopher@christopher-desktop:~$ sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run
[22:40] <weeman13221> sh: Can't open ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run
[22:40] <silent> arbir, then squint
[22:40] <outsane> does anyone know if i can reinstall ubuntu by booting the cd at startup?
[22:40] <arbir> will try again, with faith in his heart, to change font size :-)
[22:40] <arbir> silent: LOL
[22:40] <weeman13221> jrib: because it says that i dont need restricted drivers when i open the manager
[22:40] <Sup3rDup3r> you'll have to do it from cmd
[22:40] <jrib> weeman13221: what card do you have?
[22:41] <jeffMASTERflex> weeman13221: it will only give that error if you are not in the same directory as that file
[22:41] <iKap> Can anyone help me out with playing streaming video files with totem?
[22:41] <nucco> weeman13221: are you sure that file is in that folder, with that CASE and name?
[22:41] <rufus> I believe that somewhere there is a tutorial that shows you how to make your desktop background a terminal? can someone point me to that page?
[22:41] <rufus> or if theres a program that does it?
[22:41] <ghfreak51> k
[22:41] <jeffMASTERflex> weeman13221: type "cd ~/Desktop" then type "ls" to make sure the file shows up
[22:42] <nucco> weeman13221: chmod u+x ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run
[22:42] <Sup3rDup3r> let me know when ur done
[22:42] <weeman13221> nuccol; whoa hold on i got something
[22:42] <thegattaca> okay ... so i want to run acid pro on wine (on ubuntu with the latest binaries), but it requires IE5 and the .net 2.0 framework. anyone know how to make this happen? i tried installing IEs, no luck.
[22:42] <nucco> weeman13221: then attempt to install again
[22:42] <arbir> silent: the scroll bars are still very thin even after i change the fonts... can you tell me a way to widen the scroll bars
[22:42] <Echoside> Hello everyone. I have a problem. I am trying to use apt-get to install the restricted moduels, but it asks for a CD, well i dont have the CD anymore, what do I do to make it get it from the internet?
[22:42] <jrib> weeman13221: using the .run binary is not recommended.  Your X will be broken every time there is a kernel upgrade
[22:42] <danand_> edju - are you building the higher version of alsa-base from source or using apt?
[22:42] <silent> arbir, how thin? and how blind are you?
[22:42] <silent> arbir, screenshot
[22:42] <weeman13221> nucco: i got the package to run but it says that im runnin an x server and i need to exit it to continue
[22:42] <nucco> weeman13221: if you don't succeed, perhaps you should file a bug at bugzilla.gnome.org.
[22:42] <dduong> Echoside:  go to /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the deb cdrom entry
[22:43] <arbir> silent: hold on for a screen shot....its coming up
[22:43] <Echoside> dduong: Thank you.
[22:43] <nucco> weeman13221: you need to logout, press alt+ctrl+f1 and then run those commands in the vt
[22:43] <dduong> Echoside:  np, let me know if that works :0
[22:43] <edju> danand_, from source - getting a tarball.  If I can do it with apt, that's be better, of course.
[22:43] <nucco> weeman13221: if you got another pc handy, you might use that to get back into irc
[22:43] <jeffMASTERflex> weeman13221: you need to log out to the gdm screen then type ctl + alt + F1 to get to a non x server terminal
[22:43] <rufus> I believe that somewhere there is a tutorial that shows you how to make your desktop background a terminal? can someone point me to that page?
[22:43] <rufus> someone help?
[22:43] <rufus> i think it was on the ubuntu forums
[22:44] <edju> danand_, I need to replace 1.0.14 with 1.0.15.
[22:44] <misteralexander> rufus =>  you mean make the terminal have your desktop background as it's terminal background?
[22:44] <dduong> rufus:  here you go:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202249&highlight=terminal+desktop
[22:44] <Echoside> dduong: Worked great. Thanks alot, i appriciate it.
[22:44] <dduong> Echoside:  Not a problem :)
[22:44] <U1337> guys.....i need help how do i post a screenshot?
[22:45] <nucco> weeman13221: did you get that?
[22:45] <toresn> do any of you use abcde (a better cd encoder)?
[22:45] <arbir> silent: how do i send the screen shot ?
[22:45] <Noctua_> guys pls
[22:45] <arbir> silent: paste bin wont let me paste photos
[22:45] <Noctua_> how i instal a proxy in ubuntu??
[22:45] <silent> arbir, imageshack.us
[22:45] <U1337> how do i send a screen shot???!?!?!?!
[22:46] <danand_> edju - few ways you could do this - either search for a .deb of alsa-base 1.0.15 and use dpkg to install it or find a repository with it in and run apt-get update and then apt-get --reinstall install alsa-base perhaps??
[22:46] <dduong> U1337:  What do you mean by "send" a screenshot
[22:46] <dduong> Noctua:  For desktop or server?
[22:46] <U1337> i took one of my term cuz i need help
[22:46] <danand_> edju - no warranties with those suggestions though :)
[22:46] <Noctua_> for server
[22:46] <dduong> Noctua:  What version of Ubuntu server?  6.06?
[22:47] <Durbatuluk__> hi pls i have notebook and have out for headset but when i plug in my headset notebook still playing sound to everyone not into headset? what i am doing wrong? Thx
[22:47] <edju> danand_, --reinstall will replace the old?

[22:48] <rafi2777> Hi

[22:48] <Cusoon959> U1337: kidding :P
[22:48] <misteralexander> I have a Flash Drive.  It has *SOMEHOW* become a "Read-Only" devise under Ubuntu Linux.  I've used this device on my Ubuntu system before . . . . WHAT HAPPENED???
[22:48] <arbir> silent: http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkk4.png
[22:48] <prince_jammys> Vadi: i think   set | grep $USER
[22:49] <jrib> Vadi: env
[22:49] <danand_> edju - possibly :) run apt-get -s --reinstall install alsa-base first to see what it will do - may have to be an apt-get upgrade instead though. Just worried an apt-get upgrade will update a lot of other packages too if there are newer version in the repository that your newer version of alsa-base is in
[22:49] <U1337> <a href="http://img87.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotrootubuntudescb2.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/2973/screenshotrootubuntudescb2.th.png" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a>
[22:49] <prince_jammys> Vadi: thats it, env
[22:49] <U1337> lol
[22:49] <Cusoon959> How do I see a log of uninstalled aptitude packages? I uninstalled the login window XD
[22:49] <U1337> let me do that again
[22:49] <Ashfire908> is gnash any better then a few months ago?

[22:50] <Vadi> prince_jammys: Thanks man
[22:50] <U1337> tthere we go!!
[22:50] <nucco> arbir: that's one massive chat window you got there LOL
[22:50] <Noctua_> another thing VCN
[22:50] <Andeh> hey
[22:50] <misteralexander> I have a Flash Drive.  It has *SOMEHOW* become a "Read-Only" devise under Ubuntu Linux.  I've used this device on my Ubuntu system before . . . . WHAT HAPPENED???
[22:50] <Noctua_> im trying to use it
[22:50] <arbir> nucco: do you see what i mean, by thin scroll bars
[22:50] <jrib> Cusoon959: /var/log/aptitude maybe?  Do you mean gdm?
[22:50] <Noctua_> but im connecting to myself
[22:50] <Andeh> if I install Virtualbox through Synaptic, does that mean I won't be able to use USB devices?
[22:50] <jrib> !enter | Noctua_
[22:50] <ubotu> Noctua_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[22:50] <dduong> Noctua:  Hi, sorry for the wait, here is a tutorial on how to configure Squid:  http://www.visolve.com/squid/sqguide.php
[22:50] <arbir> nucco: i run 1920 x 1200 and i want things slightly bigger on that.. this is the native dell resolution.. and its amazing
[22:50] <nucco> arbir: they don't look so bad to me though. although they're thinner than i'm used to. but i don't think theres a setting for that
[22:50] <Cusoon959> jrib: Thanks ^-^. Yeah I think it was gdm...
[22:50] <thegattaca> anyone? .net 2.0 on wine/ubuntu for acid pro support?
[22:50] <dduong> Noctua:  And to install squid, just type:  apt-get install squid
[22:50] <Noctua_> thx man
[22:51] <dduong> Noctua:  no problem :)
[22:51] <silent> arbir, your monitor big enough?
[22:51] <arbir> silent: its a 17 inch dell inspiron
[22:51] <edju> danand_, Well,I found a deb - it's in Hardy.  I run Gutsy.  Problem if I dwnload and use dpkg?  Course, that leaves me with the ubuntu-minimal problem.
[22:51] <silent> arbir, what resolution?
[22:51] <Pie-rat1> why is tracker completely useless? it never works.
[22:51] <Andeh> thegattaca: Cool! I got FL studio running. FL 7 is a bit weird, FL6 runs perfectly
[22:51] <danand_> Cusoon959 - /var/log/apt/term.log may help you out - if you want to reinstall the login screen try apt-get -s install gdm
[22:51] <U1337> http://img87.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotrootubuntudescb2.png             that tottaly ruined everything i did! lol so if someone can help me with that   that would be cool
[22:51] <arbir> silent: 1920 x 1200
[22:51] <Andeh> thegattaca: I haven't tried acid pro though
[22:51] <silent> arbir, on a 17"... ?
[22:51] <misteralexander> I have a Flash Drive.  It has *SOMEHOW* become a "Read-Only" devise under Ubuntu Linux.  I've used this device on my Ubuntu system before . . . . WHAT HAPPENED???
[22:51] <silverblade> There's an echo in here.
[22:52] <nucco> misteralexander: perhaps you flicked the read-only switch?
[22:52] <ghfreak51> i got it to work
[22:52] <ghfreak51> finally :-P
[22:52] <misteralexander> NUCCO => It has no switch.  It's just a stick.
[22:52] <jrib> U1337: what are you trying to install?
[22:52] <arbir> silent: yes.. you make it sound as if I have commited a ghastly crime
    at the time java
[22:52] <thegattaca> Andeh: have you managed to get .net support under wine?
[22:52] <edju> danand_, wait - if remove gets rid og ubuntu-minimal, would't dpkg put it back?
[22:52] <jrib> !java > u1337 (read the private message from ubotu)
[22:53] <nucco> misteralexander: try writing to it as root, if it doesn't work, perhaps you have a b0rked drive
[22:53] <jrib> U1337: use the package manager
[22:53] <oklopol> is there something like paint for ubuntu
[22:53] <prince_jammys> mmm why are you root
[22:53] <danand_> edju - you could try using dpkg to remove your old alsa-base. that shouldn't remove ubuntu-minimal as it doesn't check for dependancies
[22:53] <edju> *og* *of*
[22:53] <nucco> misteralexander: or you accidentally formatted it on windows as ntfs
[22:53] <arbir> silent: is there nothing like FWM manager to fix my windows and other widgets
[22:53] <weeman13221> nucco: ok that was no good um
[22:53] <misteralexander> NUCCO => Oh, NTFS doesn't work on Linux?
[22:53] <dduong> misteralexander:  Is it a fat32 or ntfs partition on the usb stick?
[22:53] <oklopol> gimp doesn't seem to be able to draw any simple shapes, and i do not want layers.
[22:53] <nucco> misteralexander: not by default
[22:53] <danand_> edju - of course you may end up with some conflicts!
[22:53] <jrib> oklopol: gimp? gpaint? xpaint? tuxpaint?
[22:53] <weeman13221> nucco: i can run the thing but it says i need to exit X before i install
[22:53] <nucco> weeman13221: you ran the commands?
[22:53] <oklopol> i need paint with rotation, basically
[22:53] <oklopol> hmm
[22:54] <misteralexander> Yeah, it's FAT32, I've used it on Ubuntu many times.  It really was just SUDDENLY.
[22:54] <thegattaca> Andeh: pm me if you can, i'd like to pick your brain about the wine stuff ... having some issues here
[22:54] <silent> arbir, I'm surprised you can read anything at all... there is no way that's your native resolution
[22:54] <weeman13221> nucco: it was being a pain
[22:54] <ghfreak51> vmplayer keeps stopping
[22:54] <edju> danand_, Because it's from hardy?
[22:54] <nucco> weeman13221: then i guess the only way left is to reboot, and enter recovery mode, and run it.
[22:54] <weeman13221> umm k
[22:54] <oklopol> does gimp have rectangles, jrib?
[22:54] <arbir> silent: as a mater of fact, this LCD is a WXGA with a native resolution of 1920 x 1200
[22:54] <danand_> edju - dkpg wouldnt replace ubuntu-minimal i don't think. dpkg doesn't sort out dependancies
[22:54] <silent> arbir, there's your problem then
[22:54] <U1337> um!!!! where is that i dont think i have it
[22:54] <arbir> when i boot with windows ( my default OS for my office work)... i have set things to display very well
[22:55] <Durbatuluk__> I have Acer Travelmate 7520 and Ubuntu 7.10 and when i plug-in headset into my notebook nothing has changed still sound is for everyonr can you help me pls?
[22:55] <nucco> silent: its quite possible. besides, the monitor won't work at a higher resolution than it is designed for :)
[22:55] <oklopol> i'm actually drawing an eer model kinda thing, so if there's a nice tool for that, i'd prefer that, ofc.
[22:55] <edju> danand_, I'll give it a shot.  Thanks a lot.
[22:55] <mooseman089> hey
[22:55] <silent> arbir, if you don't want to squint, get a monitor with a lower pixel density
[22:55] <arbir> silent: when i boot with windows ( my default OS for my office work)... i have set things to display very well
[22:55] <danand_> edju - np
[22:55] <nucco> arbir: i guess you gotta live with that. and file a bug :(
[22:55] <mooseman089> has anybody gotten the bacula tray monitor to work on ubuntu?
[22:55] <arbir> silent: :-( then my laptop independence is lot
[22:55] <jrib> oklopol: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-rectangular.html
[22:55] <gidean> Anyone have any luck using an old PPC mac as a print/file server?  That is, can os X play nice with gutsy?
[22:56] <nucco> silent: higher pixel densities mean *super sharp* fonts and pictures... better than the crap called HDTV
[22:56] <silent> arbir, you can try different themes
[22:56] <Visinoni> I am setting up a mail account on evolution mail client and I can't figure out how to make it "leave a copy of the email on the server"
[22:56] <arbir> silent: i am running a diff theme
[22:56] <vrkhans> can any one help me my firefox is not running
[22:56] <arbir> nucco: i agree with you nucco about the HDTV crap
[22:56] <vrkhans> i dont know what is the problem
[22:56] <nucco> vrkhans: if it crashes on boot, its probably your flash plugin causing it... or some other crazy extension
[22:56] <ghfreak51> dude my interwebs is all fucked up
[22:56] <Enissay> i cant access to my exernal hard disk.... but i can access as root... and when i try to copy a file from there it says that the file doesn't exist!!!!! any help...
[22:56] <arbir> nucco: silent: once you run on 1920 x 1200.. you wont want to come down even a notch lower
[22:56] <silent> nucco, on a 17 inch monitor, high pixel density is lost on me
[22:56] <danand_> edju - _should_ be ok dependancy wise - most packages should work with alsa-base greater than some version - switching up shouldn't cause a problem, switching down might :)
[22:56] <nucco> vrkhans: i love epiphany
[22:57] <Sup3rDup3r> lol
[22:57] <Sup3rDup3r> what's wrong with the interweb?
[22:57] <ghfreak51> i have no idera
[22:57] <U1337> WELL WELL WELL THXS 4 THE HELP BUT ILL STICK WITH WINDOWS   i am the type of person that justs clicks and its done                  ubuntu doesnt offer that                 but thxs
[22:57] <nucco> silent: on a bigger screen, 1920 isn't so "high pixel density"
[22:57] <silent> if my face was like 4" away from the screen, I'd probly think it was great
[22:57] <jeffMASTERflex> vrkhans: run firefox from cli and see what the errors it's spitting out
[22:57] <prince_jammys> ciao ciao
[22:57] <Mad_Gouki> u1337, yes it does, you just have tyo know where to click
[22:57] <arbir> 17 inch is a huge screen
[22:57] <oklopol> jrib: that's fairly ugly
[22:57] <weeman13221> nucco: ran in in vt and it still said i needed to exit xserver
[22:57] <arbir> fonts are fine now
[22:57] <silent> arbir, massive.
[22:58] <arbir> i dont need to squint
[22:58] <oklopol> jrib: can you actually draw shapes in xpaint or gpaint?
[22:58] <nucco> weeman13221: x is still running as long as gdm is active. that's why i said reboot, then choose recovery mode at the grub prompt
[22:58] <jrib> oklopol: I have no idea
[22:58] <oklopol> i'll dl then
[22:58] <nucco> arbir: 17" isn't huge :)) that's what i got.
[22:58] <weeman13221> nucco: k ill try that
[22:58] <oklopol> thanks anyways
[22:58] <dduong> weeman13221:  or once you do a ctrl-alt-f1, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[22:58] <arbir> nucco: 17 for a laptop is humongous
[22:58] <jrib> U1337: that means you did not bother to read what I sent you.  You install Java by clicking and then it's done.  Easier than windows in my opinion
[22:59] <nucco> arbir: my laptop is 17".
[22:59] <arbir> nucco: another prob ihave is.. i cannot tell my current application window in the task bar.. the colours are so similar
[22:59] <IndyGunFreak> U1337: so what is your problem now
[22:59] <nucco> arbir: that was all too obvious in the screenshot. you have poor eyesight?
[23:00] <Visinoni> anybody know how to make evolution mail client leave a copy of email on the server
[23:00] <arbir> nucco: no no i dont have poor eyesight.. but i am a little weak on colours
[23:00] <Visinoni> so I can still check my mail at work
[23:00] <Mad_Gouki> trying to install the java sdk and all that or just the browser plugin?
[23:00] <U1337> just trying to install stuff to hear music on lik e myspace or youtube         adobe and java
[23:00] <Mad_Gouki> ah, browser plugin
[23:00] <nucco> arbir: there are themes out there that colour the active app. check www.gnome-look.org
[23:00] <vrkhans> nucco , what should i do
[23:00] <arbir> nucco: let me check
[23:00] <Mad_Gouki> which distro did you grab, was it the x86 or the 64 bit one?
[23:01] <silverblade> ah this is pretty darn cool, im installing Ubuntu on someones PC from half way across the country lol
[23:01] <Mad_Gouki> :D
[23:01] <IndyGunFreak> U1337: ok, then you need to install flash
[23:01] <arbir> nucco: am i looking for gdm themes on that page ?
[23:01] <nucco> vrkhans: the flash drive. mmmm... you might need to format it again. sadly, its easier to do on windows :( but if you don't mind the terminal, you can do it
[23:01] <nucco> arbir: GTK/Metacity
[23:01] <foo> hm, I run compiz --replace in xfce and it says: Checking for Xgl: not present, No whitelisted driver found, aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity ... any ideas?
[23:01] <nucco> arbir: gdm is the login screen
[23:02] <nucco> foo: you use an ATI card.
[23:02] <Heth> hi, any idea how to put no WXGA laptop a widescreen resolution? I need 1280x800 but I get 1024x768
[23:02] <U1337> wow yea.......i am trying to thats the problem i am just sooo use to windows and ubuntu aint a damn thing close to windows as u may know
[23:02] <foo> nucco: Good observation. Any useful ideas? :)
[23:02] <nucco> foo: modern ATI cards don't support desktop effects on the default Gutsy.
[23:02] <makavel8> anyone here use songbird?
[23:02] <nucco> foo: if you must, you gotta install xserver-xgl
[23:02] <arbir> nucco: let me take a look
[23:02] <jeffMASTERflex> Heth: do you have the appropriate drivers for your video card installed? what vido card do you have?
[23:02] <IndyGunFreak> U1337: its not like windows, thats why smart people like it, and if you'd follow the instructions you've been sent, you'd have it working in a few minutes
[23:02] <dduong> U1337:  I understand the frustration, but it takes a bit of time and patience :)  I should know, I've used windows since 3.1 :P
[23:03] <foo> nucco: eh, I was just running compiz fine. I updated video card drivers to latest, and told envy to remove some stuff... and it broke.
[23:03] <Heth> jeffMASTERflex: I got ATI Xpress 1270
[23:03] <U1337> lol wow yea there was life before xp?!?!?!? lol
[23:03] <nucco> foo: then probably you're not using the right drivers...
[23:03] <Mad_Gouki> U1337: it's just like anything else, you learn it and then it makes sense, I started using ubuntu and linux a month ago, and I am getting better with it every day
[23:03] <danand_> U1337 - stick with it - it'll all be worth it in the end
[23:03] <IndyGunFreak> U1337: maybe you should use 32bit Ubuntu, it might be a bit easier for you.
[23:03] <makavel8> trying to find a music player that'll allow us to browse through album covers, any recommendations?
[23:03] <U1337> but i have a 64bit amd
[23:03] <jeffMASTERflex> Heth: try using the restricted driver manager to install the appropriate drivers for your video card
[23:03] <prince_jammys> look at all the attention you get for threatening to go back to win
[23:03] <nucco> foo: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | Driver
[23:04] <osi>  /server irc.fansub-irc.org
[23:04] <Heth> jeffMASTERflex, thanks, I'll try
[23:04] <IndyGunFreak> U1337: ?.. and?.. i have a porsche, but i don't ever drive it 150mph
[23:04] <danand_> prince_jammys - lol - "don't go back"
[23:04] <Mad_Gouki> u1337: yes, if you aren't using the x86 ubuntu you will face all sorts of problems... I have 64 bit amd as well, and I had nothing but problems with the 64x distro... trust me, it's so much easier witht he x86 distro
[23:04] <prince_jammys> danand_: can't stand that threat
[23:04] <dduong> U1137:  follow this tutorial.  It worked for me:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476924
[23:04] <IndyGunFreak> Mad_Gouki: i told him that a while ago, but he refuses to listen

[23:05] <holzstock> Hi! Somebody here with TeX/LaTeX familiar?
[23:05] <foo> nucco: fglrxinfo says OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. / OpenGL renderer string: RADEON X800 GTO OpenGL version string: 2.1.7281 Release . .which is the lasest drivers
[23:05] <Mad_Gouki> IndyGunFreak: it's ok, I didn't either :p  until I wanted to use anything
[23:05] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[23:05] <prince_jammys> prince_jammys: passive aggression

[23:05] <prince_jammys> talking to myself here
[23:05] <prince_jammys> danand_: passive aggression
[23:05] <nucco> foo: if you're using fglrx, then you gotta install xgl
[23:06] <gnoshi> Hi all. Is there a way to list the compile settings used by a package? I need to have apache 2.0.x and php 4.x on Ubuntu 7.10. I am happy to compile both Apache and PHP, but would like to keep close to the default config as possible, so want to get the ./configure settings used for ubuntu's own compile (of Apache 2.2, which seems to be the only 2-series available)
[23:06] <U1337> sooo should i download the x86?                                    why not go 150mph  only live once
[23:06] <nucco> holzstock: www.latex-project.org has some good documentation on latex... is the best i can offer
[23:06] <dduong> U1337:  Forgot to mention that the link I gave you only installs flash in 64bit ubuntu
[23:06] <Heth> jeffMASTERflex: is there any other way, because wireless is not yet working:)
[23:07] <holzstock> thx, I've already searched the web, but I'll take a look there.
[23:07] <nucco> foo: actually the latest fglrx claim to support compiz, but... er, i'm not sure how stable they are.
[23:07] <Mad_Gouki> u1337: it's not that much faster, it is not noticeable faster, and the problems associated with getting some stuff to work in the 64x is not worth it for a beginner.  I just reinstalled the x86 distro from the 64 bit yesterday for the first time, and already it is less of a headache.
[23:07] <IndyGunFreak> U1337: you clearly missed the point of that, but yes, i woudl download x86 if i were you
[23:07] <foo> nucco: I was just running it fine before I upgraded my video card driver. Something else is wrong, hm, don't have composite in xorg.org
[23:08] <NBrepresent> hi..
[23:08] <nucco> foo: its possible you were using the opensource drivers before you updated. is that a discrete card, or an onboard chipset?
[23:08] <IndyGunFreak> Mad_Gouki: people always say i'm crazy when i say that.. glad to hear someone else say it, i didn't see any speed differences, etc, from 32bit to 64bit.. at least nothing noticeable.
[23:08] <NBrepresent> i have my dialup connection working well, using wvdial ... the issue is that the network monitor applet doesn't "know" that i'm connected... as i'm setting this computer up for my mum, I don't want it to confuse her
[23:08] <nucco> IndyGunFreak: in a few years, there will be differences. most apps are still 32-bit centric.
[23:09] <foo> nucco: discrete, not possible. I am missing composite in my xorg.conf, hm
[23:09] <IndyGunFreak> nucco: of course in a few years there will be, but its not ready yet, in my opinion
[23:09] <nucco> foo: sorry, what did you say your card was ?
[23:09] <nucco> IndyGunFreak: that's why i bought a 32 bit machine, and still recommend 32 bit machines.
[23:09] <foo> nucco: np, ATI X800GTO
[23:09] <IndyGunFreak> nucco: for now, of course.. and thats my way of thinking also.
[23:10] <nucco> foo: x800, should be supported by the opensource drivers.
[23:10] <Mad_Gouki> I got a 64 bit because it was the cheapest thing I could find in laptops
[23:10] <nucco> foo: if you wish, you can switch back to them. just change the "fglrx" in your xorg.conf back to "ati"
[23:10] <foo> nucco: what is better, open source or proprietary? I just got proprietary working
[23:10] <foo> nucco: eg. installed, now need to get compiz
[23:10] <gnoshi> nucco: I thought 64 vs 32 was pretty much irrelevant - you could run 32bit OS on either.
[23:10] <foo> ah
[23:10] <IndyGunFreak> Mad_Gouki: well, 1 laptop and 1 PC is 64bit, but i run 32bit on everything
[23:10] <Mad_Gouki> foo: proprietary, if its video drivers
[23:11] <foo> Mad_Gouki: thanks
[23:11] <nucco> foo: i can't tell, proprietary should give better 3d support, but with proprietary, you gotta install xserver-xgl for 3d effects.
[23:11] <Mad_Gouki> foo: but if you aren't playing video games the open source ones are less of a headache
[23:11] <nucco> foo, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
[23:12] <foo> Mad_Gouki: how so?
[23:12] <nucco> foo: usually the open source drivers are more stable.
[23:12] <foo> nucco: I didn't have xgl and had compiz working before I upgraded my other driver.
[23:12] <foo> nucco: I see
[23:12] <Mad_Gouki> foo: i dunno, i just never had any luck with the ati drivers
[23:12]  * IBEGONE is away ->  <- Page [FRIENDS] Log [ON]  
[23:12] <nucco> foo: but before you let envy do its thing, you were using the open source drivers, which probably support compiz

[23:12]  * J0nathanX is away ->  <- Page [FRIENDS] Log [ON]

[23:14] <Mad_Gouki> i dunno fourxlovn
[23:14] <nucco> foo: so, go install xserver-xgl, logout, and log back in, or switch back to opensource drivers

[23:16] <cdsboy> anyone have time to try and help me with my acer aspire 5050 woes?
[23:16] <Flannel> leeping2008: Check out shred for the future.  (it'll securely delete things, but it wont do it on "all my freespace", it will however do "my whole drive")
[23:16] <leeping2008> Flannel: Haha, I'm actually not trying to securely delete things.

[23:17]  * leeping2008 is cloning systems

[23:19] <IndyGunFreak> uni_6910: where should i send it?
[23:19] <Pricey> uni_6910, use apt-file to find out what package it belongs to, then get it off of packages.ubuntu.com
[23:19] <nucco> cdsboy: err, what exactly are the issues? and what version of ubuntu?
[23:19] <uni_6910> yeah well ill shoot myself if i have to wait 16 mins for a font to dl

Using fdisk to read the partition table after reboot insists that it is there, and will then create the device nodes.

[23:20] <nucco> cdsboy: your battery status, will probably be fixed by a newer kernel (or acpi tools)

[23:20] <Nomado> where can I download ubuntu?
[23:20] <Mad_Gouki> ubuntu.com
[23:21] <nucco> cdsboy: as for hibernate etc, depends on the loaded drivers. some drivers have issues that prevent those things.
[23:21] <Pelo> Nomado, www.ubuntu.com or your favorite torrent site
[23:21] <uni_6910> "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/thai" Mad_Gouki
[23:21] <arbir> nucco : oshi: well then my task bar is not changing as described in that theme , nor are the buttons.. window title bars and controls have changed
[23:21] <uni_6910> that was the wrong link IndyGunFreak
[23:21] <Nomado> oh duh
[23:21] <nonix4> leeping2008: well at least one version it had - that basically created a file sized at the remaining free space & shredded that (w/ -n 0 you get zero pattern overwrites)
[23:21] <IndyGunFreak> uni_6910: its the one i copy/pasted
[23:21] <oshi> arbir: you mean the gnome panel isn't changing?
[23:21] <cdsboy> nucco: i have the latest kernel in the repository, where would i go to get a newer one? And would that be a good diea?

[23:21] <foo> I'm in ubuntu, I og to system > preferences > appearance > visual effects > extra and I get "This composite extension is nto available" - any ideas?
[23:21] <Pelo> TheZealot, google might help
[23:22] <nomaS> somebody know, why it freeze when i boot with cd live ? on a compaq presario 700 , with cd 7.10
[23:22] <arbir> oshi: what do you mean by panel.... there are two bars.. one on top and one on the bottom
[23:22] <nucco> cdsboy: my opinion, battery status is a minor annoyance, best to wait for newer versions of ubuntu to fix it.
[23:22] <Pelo> foo, what video card ?
[23:22] <oshi> that's the gnome panel
[23:22] <arbir> oshi: neither of them are changing according to the new theme
[23:22] <uni_6910> thank you IndyGunFreak
[23:22] <Mad_Gouki> uni 6910: u get it?
[23:22] <nucco> arbir: you just have to search until you find a theme that does what you want.
[23:22] <uni_6910> yes Mad_Gouki, thanks
[23:22] <foo> Pelo: X800GTO, ATI
[23:22] <oshi> arbir: that's the gnome panel.  Try this, right click the panel, click on properties, then click the background tab
[23:22] <oshi> arbir: then click use system theme
[23:23] <nucco> foo: it might be useful to add "Option "Composite" True" to xorg.conf
[23:23] <Newbuntu2> can anyone help me with VNC? If I try to open synaptic manager, or wait a few minutes, it freezes my linux box...
[23:23] <nucco> foo: but i suspect xgl is what you need.
[23:23] <Pelo> foo,  check in menu > system> admin > restricted drivers , make sure you have the proper drivers installed for your video card, that might make visual effects available
[23:23] <arbir> oshi: system theme is checked by default
[23:23] <nomaS> somebody know, why it freeze when i boot with cd live ? on a compaq presario 700 , with cd 7.10
[23:23] <oshi> arbir: if that's already checked then the theme you chose probably didn't come with a gnome panel decoration
[23:23] <foo> nucco: tried, no luck
[23:23] <ubuntu_> how do I mount my usb stick on ubuntu-livecd ?
[23:23] <nucco> foo. install xgl.

[23:24] <Mad_Gouki> foo: you need the xserver-xgl or whatever its called
[23:24] <Pelo> brb
[23:24] <nucco> foo: i understand you. it was working before, because you were using the driver "ati", but right now, you are using "fglrx" and with fglrx, you have to use xgl
[23:25] <Sup3rDup3r> I'm out
[23:25] <oshi> arbir: some themes just color the panel, not decorate it.  You have to search around to find oen that decorates it
[23:25] <nucco> else, revert back to "ati"
[23:25] <nickrud> joanki: in a terminal, type   file /path/to/file/you/are/interested/in , it will tell you what the file is
[23:25] <foo> nucco: I wasn't using ati before, I was using fglrx. Actually, I wonder if envy installed xgl and I didn't know.
[23:25]  * foo checks apt logs
[23:25] <nucco> arbir: ah, xenon, i don't think xenon colours the active  taskbar item
[23:25] <arbir> oshi: this theme is supposed to change your panels
[23:25] <oshi> hmmm...one sec
[23:26] <joanki> thanks much
[23:26] <nucco> foo, just install xgl and see if it solves your problem.
[23:26] <joanki> nickrud, thanks
[23:26] <ubuntu_> Pelo, hmm i see a few units theres one /dev/hdc1 ntfs size 25 MB but my stick is 2GB ?
[23:26] <joanki> can anyone tell me the best way to find out how many bytes have been read from a text file?
[23:26] <nucco> arbir: i don't think so. i have it,
[23:26] <Mad_Gouki> just do sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl
[23:26] <Pelo> ubuntu_, what filesystem is your usb stick ?
[23:26] <nickrud> ubuntu_: Pelo stepped out for a sec
[23:26] <arbir> alright nucco: let me look for something else
[23:26] <WorkingOnWise> what would cause glx to not be available? Nvidia geforce 6100, 169.09 drivers
[23:26] <Pelo> nickrud,  thanks I am back , I just needed to put washing in the dryer
[23:26] <nucco> ubuntu_: your flash drive can't be /dev/hdc1
[23:27] <Flannel> joanki: How many bytes have been... read?
[23:27] <oshi> arbir: ok, try this, extract the tar file that the theme came in, make note of the panel images, then manually point the panel at them.
[23:27] <joanki> yes my program will read inputs from files
[23:27] <joanki> Flannel
[23:27] <arbir> oshi: right... i can do that.. let me try
[23:27] <joanki> i want for my program to know how many bytes have been read at each pop
[23:27] <Flannel> joanki: You'll use whatever your programming language provides then
[23:27] <ubuntu_> nucco, hmm the next is hdc2 file system ext3, that cant be right either
[23:27] <joanki> ftell would work for a binary file
[23:27] <joanki> what woudl work for a text file?
[23:27] <ubuntu_> nucco, so it didnt pick up my usb stick?
[23:28] <foo> nucco: what does xgl do differently?
[23:28] <nucco> ubuntu_: a usb stick will probably be /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or something
[23:28] <ubuntu_> nucco, i dont have any sda or sdb, so its not detected i guess?
[23:28] <vrkhans> i couldnt able to run firefox, error msg its already running
[23:28] <vrkhans> i dont know what to do.
[23:28] <joanki> nickrud, any idea what syntax i would use in my C program to find out how many bytes of a text file have been read in from my program?
[23:28] <nucco> foo: xgl is another xserver that allows drivers that don't natively support composite to work, probably emulating it in software
[23:28] <Flannel> joanki: It depends entirely on what you're doing and how youre reading.  If you're reading them line by line (as opposed to fget), you'll just have to keep track yourself.
[23:28] <nucco> ubuntu_: its a usb stick?
[23:28] <Pelo> vrkhans, open the system monitor , kill all the firefox-bin processes you see
[23:29] <nickrud> joakim-: I haven't done a lick of c programming since 89, so not anymore
[23:29] <ubuntu_> nucco, its a usb card reader for sd cards
[23:29] <IamReck> The default application that Ubuntu 7.10 uses for the Networking on your panel is gone.  How do I get it back?
[23:29] <joanki> Flannel, i'm using fgets
[23:29] <foo> nucco: I see, eh, that worked. I don't fully understand this, but I've been screwing around with this for a dozen hours and I have other things to do. Sorry for the attitude, linux hasn't upset me this much in a while. thanks
[23:29] <vrkhans> Pelo there isnt any which i can find i did ps x
[23:29] <nucco> ubuntu_: if the card reader is supported, then you won't see it until you slot a card in it
[23:29] <vrkhans> and in the list i dont see any firefox
[23:29] <oshi> Anyone know where I can find drivers for an ATI TV Wonder 600?  I've already checked the ati site
[23:29] <Pelo> vrkhans, restart the comp , easiest solution
[23:29] <ubuntu_> nucco, my sd is already inserted
[23:29] <oshi> it's a usb tv tuner btw
[23:29] <nucco> ubuntu_: if you put a card, and it doesn't work,then the card reader needs drivers
[23:29] <Flannel> joanki: then just look to see where your file pointer is.  They can help you more in ##C, this isn't really the place (if ##C fails you, come ask in #ubuntu-offtopic)
[23:29] <vrkhans> i did that too.
[23:29] <joanki> oops
[23:30] <klownish> vrkhans: terminal ->killall firefox
[23:30] <joanki> i'm in the wrong room thanks Flannel
[23:30] <ubuntu_> nucco oh okay thanks for your help
[23:30] <nucco> foo: it just confirms that you were using "ati" before :)
[23:30] <vrkhans> its didnt work out
[23:30] <ubuntu_> Pelo, same to you
[23:30] <vrkhans> killall is a command
[23:30] <nucco> ubuntu_: do "lsusb" on a terminal and tell me
[23:30] <danand_> vrkhans - in a terminal type kill -9 $(pidof firefox-bin)
[23:30] <klownish> yeah it is.
[23:30] <Boglizk> New icons dont show up on the desktop (but they do in terminal). How do i fix that?
[23:31] <IamReck> The default application that Ubuntu 7.10 uses for the Networking on your panel is gone.  How do I get it back?  Other then reinstalling Ubuntu.
[23:31] <nickrud> IamReck: alt-f2 , nm-applet   should get it back
[23:31] <amenado> IamReck-> that is just a front end, the config file is still in /etc/network/interfaces
[23:32] <foo> nucco: I checked the working xorg.conf I had before... and it didn't have ati in ther e:/
[23:32] <vrkhans> danand thanks it is working now,
[23:32] <gnoshi> Sorry to repeat question but: Is there a way to get the list of parameters passed to the ./configure script used in an ubuntu standard package?
[23:32] <IamReck> nickrud, didn't work
[23:32] <danand_> vrkhans - np :)
[23:32] <IamReck> amenado, no idea what your talking about
[23:32] <amenado> gnoshi-> cat /boot/config-`uname -r`
[23:32] <nucco> foo: i thnk that ati's drivers xxx.42 claimed to support composite, hence didn't need xgl
[23:32] <vrkhans> danand how did you find that
[23:32] <jorex> I don't have any sound on Conexant HDA (for AMD) on an HP laptop. Researched this for a good couple days anyone have a suggestion?
[23:32] <foo> nucco: ohhh
[23:32] <nickrud> IamReck:   ps -A | grep -i networkmanager , does NetworkManager come back?
[23:33] <IamReck> no
[23:33] <amenado> IamReck which part of what I said you dont understand? front end? it means what the users see..
[23:33] <nucco> foo: i don't know, maybe the envy install process blacklisted the fglrx driver. it might have been possible to still get it to work without xgl, but i'm not too versed in that turf
[23:33] <erat123> does anyone know a bash command to bring up add/remove software in ubuntu?
[23:33] <foo> nucco: no wories, it's working, thanks
[23:33] <nickrud> IamReck: then type   sudo NetworkManager   in a terminal
[23:34] <nickrud> IamReck: caps matter here
[23:34] <IamReck> amenado, oh okay, well there was an icon with which I could see my wireless networks available to me and choose one, or choose a wired.
[23:34] <nucco> erat123: usually, a script won't want a gui :)
[23:34] <gnoshi> amenado: sorry, I actually mean a specific deb package - e.g. the standard apache2 package for ubuntu 7.10.
[23:34] <nucco> IamReck: this might help: http://traversingmind.blogspot.com/2007/06/network-manager.html
[23:34] <biouser> what is the IRC for r-statistical package?
[23:34] <erat123> nucco: just trying it w/ xming on my putty window.. so i can edit from my windows box
[23:34] <danand_> vrkhans - kill -9 is a command to send a signal to a process to quit. On *nix systems all processes have a process ID - you can see these with the ps command. the command pidof simply gives the process id of the program name supplied to it .... put all that together and you can kill just about anything :)
[23:35] <dmb> whats the best way of installing kde that doesn't switch your computer to use kde by default?
[23:35] <Starnestommy> biouser: they might not have an irc channel
[23:35] <nucco> erat123: to install software form the terminal, use "apt-get install package_name"
[23:35] <oklopol> jrib: xpaint is the buggiest program i've ever seen :D
[23:35] <oklopol> just fyi
[23:35] <erat123> nucco: but i want to see the add/remove software
[23:36] <nickrud> dmb: install kubuntu-desktop, but when you log in select gnome under options->sessions
[23:36] <amenado> gnoshi-> you have to decompress the .deb file with cpio and look around it, not sure if it is there
[23:36] <IamReck> nucco, after I do that thing in the link, do I need to restart X?
[23:36] <nucco> erat123: from windows? i doubt if that's possible, unless u use vnc
[23:36] <gnoshi> amenado: cheers, I'll have a look
[23:36] <nucco> IamReck: not sure... perhaps just log out and log back in...
[23:36] <IamReck> k brbr
[23:36] <jrib> oklopol: haha
[23:36] <erat123> nucco: i can see all of my windows using xming, i just need to know the name of the add/remove one.
[23:36] <Pelo> erat123, try gnome-app-install or gnome-app-insta
[23:36] <erat123> Pelo: thanks!
[23:37] <oshi> Does anyone know the command to load the gtk theme window borders?  opposite of emerald --replace
[23:37] <foo> Ok, weird problem that I still seem to be encountering. In compiz, if I switch workspaces to the right with firefox in focus on the workspace I am switching to... it lags. If I have an xterm in front of firefox and in focus on the workspace when I switch to it, it's smooth. This is weird, any ideas?
[23:37] <erat123> Pelo: gnome-app-install worked! thanks!
[23:37] <_Oz_> Hello, Ubuntu friends!
[23:37] <credible> oshi: gtk-window-decorator --replace
[23:37] <nucco> erat123: software-config-gtk
[23:37] <oshi> thanks credible
[23:37] <Pelo> oshi, metacity --replace ?
[23:37] <IamReck> nucco, still not there
[23:37] <nucco> erat123: sorry, software-properties-gtk
[23:37] <oshi> naw Pelo, credible got what I needed
[23:37] <nickrud> IamReck: sudo NetworkManager &
[23:38] <_Oz_> Is the captain in today?
[23:38] <nucco> erat123: err. wrong
[23:38] <IamReck> [1] 4536
[23:38] <IamReck> nucco, Displayed '[1] 4536'
[23:38] <erat123> nucco: sweet, i didnt know the software-properties one
[23:38] <nickrud> IamReck: you should see the applet; if not   alt-f2  nm-applet
[23:38] <_Oz_> n i c k r u d
[23:38] <mrdigital> its possible to REALVNC into windows or linux using iphone
[23:38] <nucco> erat123: gnome-app-install
[23:38] <_Oz_> You helped me with that gnome login problem the other night.
[23:38] <_Oz_> Thanks!
[23:38] <arbir> nucco: when i apply this theme, says, file format is invalid --->  http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Complete+Vista+Aero+theme+%28automated%29?content=72318
[23:38] <_Oz_> (My nick was "SnurgleWozzle" at that time.)
[23:38] <nickrud> _Oz_: you're welcome
[23:39] <nucco> IamReck: i don't quite uderstand you
[23:39] <IamReck> nickrud, when I do that, it says could not open location
[23:39]  * nickrud remembers hiding while Surglenozzle was dancing
[23:39] <oklopol> jrib: undo needs to be pressed about 5 times, after which it does a random amount of undos, when using the text tool, backspace rarely works. these are the main ones
[23:39] <nucco> arbir: the file extension is probably not correct
[23:39] <erat123> nucco: gnome-app-install works perfect
[23:39] <fera> boa noite amigos
[23:39] <chris062689> Hola.
[23:39] <erat123> thanks for the help guys!
[23:39] <chris062689> Burrito.
[23:39] <arbir> nucco: alright
[23:39] <nucco> arbir: try switching it between "tar.gz" and "tar.bz2" see if it works
[23:39] <IamReck> nucco, when I ran that command it displayed
[23:39] <IamReck> nucco, Displayed '[1] 4536'
[23:39]  * Pelo hands nickrud  a pair of glasses with a fake nose and musctash
[23:40] <dmb> nickrud: i don't want kdm to replace gdm
[23:40] <arbir> nucco: is trying now.....
[23:40] <nucco> IamReck: ran which command
[23:40] <nickrud> IamReck: hm, when I said alt-f2 , did you press or type it?
[23:40]  * nucco scratches head
[23:40] <IamReck> pressed
[23:40] <IamReck> for "Run Application"
[23:40] <nickrud> dmb: after you install the desktop, run   sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm , you will be able to select gdm as the login screen
[23:41] <nickrud> IamReck: and you're sure you typed   nm-applet  as the command?
[23:41] <IamReck> yes
[23:41] <nucco> IamReck: try loging in as a different user, do you see the network-manager applet in that user's account?
[23:41] <IamReck> k
[23:41] <nickrud> IamReck: in a terminal,  type   which nm-applet (or try nucco's new user idea)
[23:42] <danand_> dmb - think you can also set gdm as default by adding /usr/sbin/gdm to /etc/X11/default-display-manager file
[23:42] <dmb> yes
[23:42] <nucco> nickrud: Iamwreck is probably switching user, the old fashioned way :)
[23:42] <nickrud> !usplash | dmb (and do this if you prefer ubuntu splash over kubuntu slpash)

[23:42] <dmb> is there anything else i should be worrying about?
[23:43] <arbir> nucco: i think something is wrong. nothing works
[23:43] <nickrud> nucco: hey, it's a good test
[23:43] <arbir> nucco: i extrated the bz2 and recompressed as gz, still it says, file format is invalid

[23:43] <arbir> nucco: i think its time to drop this theme.....
[23:43] <nucco> nickrud: i meant, he forgot that he could "switch user" without loging out
[23:43] <nucco> arbir: good idea
[23:43] <nucco> arbir: there are some on http://art.gnome.org too
[23:44] <abussuhail> I need just now how many Pages and the size of all pages on the memory and the complete informations about the core map entry
[23:44] <nickrud> nucco: probably never knew he could.
[23:44] <abussuhail> any tool that realise that?
[23:44] <abussuhail> or a reference on proc?
[23:44] <fera> good night everydody
[23:44] <nucco> nickrud: yeah. LOL
[23:44] <lusepuster> Hi, I have a strange problem..  It seems when my box tries to suspend to RAM, it messes up my swap partition which seems to lose its formatting
[23:44] <gyver> any good programs for ubuntu
[23:45] <nucco> gyver: LOL
[23:45] <nickrud> gyver: what do you want to do?
[23:45] <IamReck> nucco, didn't work
[23:45] <IamReck> I am on a different user and it is not here
[23:45] <Pelo> abussuhail, try top,  man top for all the options it is pretty complete
[23:45] <nucco> IamReck: didn't see the applet eh?
[23:45] <Gendolookin> whats up everyone?
[23:45] <IamReck> nope.
[23:45] <gyver> first person shooters
[23:45] <Pelo> Gendolookin, our blood pressure
[23:45] <Gendolookin> HAHA
[23:45] <Gendolookin> why?
[23:45] <IamReck> gargh where is it?  lol.  It was there. and network moniter sucks
[23:45] <gyver> funny/cool vids
[23:45] <nucco> IamReck: sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[23:46] <nickrud> gyver: alien-arena is popular I hear
[23:46] <Pelo> Gendolookin, just sit here for a few hours and try to answer all of the questions,  you'll figure it out
[23:46] <[chr0n0s]> gyver, install alien arena, counter strike over wine,
[23:46] <Gendolookin> gotta love the RUSH Of newbies
[23:46] <Gendolookin> hey i was one too;)
[23:46] <nucco> gyver: miro is a nice prog too
[23:46] <Gendolookin> so i can't hate too much LOL
[23:46] <Pelo> no hate in this channel,  just very tough love
[23:46] <Gendolookin> how well does CS run in Wine, i tried Day of Defeat, and it didn't run at all LOL
[23:46] <nucco> nickrud: alien-arena is actually quite cool :)
[23:46] <[chr0n0s]> should call linus here sometime :P
[23:46] <oshi> credible: can you tell me where to place gtk-window-decorator --replace so that it works at boot?  I tried the command line in the advanced desktop effects window but it didn't work
[23:47] <IamReck> nucco i gotta switch accounts.  when I log back on type out that command for me again
[23:47] <[chr0n0s]> Gendolookin, works pefectly here in cedega
[23:47] <Gendolookin> cedega
[23:47] <Gendolookin> doesn't that cost money though?
[23:47] <credible> oshi: unfortunately, ubuntu starts a decorator before compiz has a chance to so that line is never executed
[23:47] <credible> oshi: you can put USE_EMERALD=no in ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager or you can uninstall emerald
[23:47] <[chr0n0s]> Gendolookin, i am not sure.. ppl say it's free from CVS
[23:47] <Pelo> Gendolookin, the latest wine 0.9.55 is suppose to run cs2 rather well
[23:47] <Gendolookin> hmm
[23:47] <IamReck> nucco, what was that command again?
[23:47] <Gendolookin> i'm gonna have to check it out then
[23:47] <oshi> credible, I'll try that thanks
[23:48] <nucco> IamReck: sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[23:48] <Gendolookin> i have to REDOWNLOAD day of Defeat

[23:55] <Geoffrey2> hi all, what dev file contains the md5 headers?
[23:56] <Aeonoris> I installed Ubuntu on a computer that has Windows (XP) on it, and I was testing out wine, eventually resulting in my computer freezing... Guess I shouldn't have been so reckless.  Anyway, after that I booted into XP using grub, and it (XP) said "repairing data archive"...

[23:56] <_Oz_> Aenoris: let it run.  After you reboot the second time XP should be happy.
[23:57] <Aeonoris> Now XP freezes after a short time and Ubuntu can only "see" all of one hard drive, and the others it says are empty and have 5.4 gigs left on them (they're 80 gig drives)
[23:57] <_Oz_> Aenoris: do you have any USB devices connected?
[23:57] <askand> suddenly i get no picture when watching videos, both in vlc and totem? what can be wrong?
[23:57] <Aeonoris> Nope.
[23:58] <_Oz_> Aenoris: try booting Windows XP into safe mode
[23:58] <biouser> try #windows
[23:58] <_Oz_> That too.
[23:58] <Aeonoris> K, I'll try.
[23:58] <yellowSubMar> I have a terribly annoying problem with my keyboard. I am using Ubuntu 7.10 for a while now, but recently my shift keys have not been working with certain characters. Some keys work with both shifts, others with one or the other, and still others with neither. I looked at keyboard preferences and the layout seems fine.
[23:58] <Twintop> Aenoris: are the Windows partitions NTFS or FAT32?
[23:58] <Aeonoris> Try #windows where?  the terminal?
[23:59] <Aeonoris> NTFS
[23:59] <yellowSubMar> I'm using a Saitek Eclipse II.
[23:59] <Dr_willis> Aeonoris,  the #windows channel
[23:59] <biouser> #R
[23:59] <Dr_willis> # = the name of a channel
[23:59] <Twintop> Aeonoris: Did you hibernate Windows before going in to Ubuntu?
[23:59] <b_> anyone ever have phantom drive icons that you cant mount, open or delete?
[23:59] <Aeonoris> Oh, right.  Twintop: No, should I have?
