[00:00] <windows_> can anyone help me install java 1.5 so i can run frostwire?
[00:00] <sdfewfs> any idea why i can see arp traffic of the accesspoint via tcpdupm, but i'm unable to grab ip via dhcp?
[00:00] <bazhang> windows_: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[00:01] <windows_> bazhang yes
[00:01] <arizalord> banhang, sorry... command not found

[00:01] <arizalord> bazhang, sorry... command not found
[00:01] <amenado> sdfewfs-> do you their handshake between client and ap...can you not gleam anything bout why it fails?
[00:01] <sdfewfs> amenado, it's going thru a bridge.
[00:01] <westjd> how can I make another OS default over ubuntu in the Grub loader?

[00:02] <ubotu> windows_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[00:02] <Jdaniels> hi, my web browsers all continue to crash after I installed java manually. any suggestions on how to fix it?
[00:02] <marlon_> hey everyone, i have a ubuntu issue
[00:02] <windows_> !virus
[00:02] <ubotu> A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[00:03] <sdfewfs> amenado, computer1 connected to switch, switch connected to linux bridge, linux bridge associated with AP
[00:03] <marlon_> for some reason when doing things that require root access, my hard drive will start reading, and bog the entire system
[00:03] <windows_> !java
[00:03] <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)
[00:03] <sdfewfs> amenado, computer 1 see's arp traffic across the wirelss link, but, wont' grab IP via dhcp
[00:03] <bazhang> windows_: you can /msg ubotu if you want to have fun; just not in the channel please
[00:03] <Jack_Sparrow> windows_, please  use /msg ubotu windows  or whatever so as not to spam the channel
[00:03] <arizalord> how can i add new panels?
[00:03] <windows_> omg all i want to do is install java for frostwire
[00:04] <Asra> guys .. I need some help
[00:04] <PriceChild> windows_: then tell the channel which bit you are having a problem with.
[00:04] <Jack_Sparrow> windows_, Did you read the link?
[00:04] <Asra> anyone got an idea how to speed up my internet connection .. Ive got a 24 mbit line .. should work faster then 15,5 kB/s right
[00:04] <amenado> sdfewfs-> what ip address does the linux bridge get if any?
[00:05] <sd32> !frostwire
[00:05] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[00:05] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, ping
[00:05] <fabio> 15,5 Kb/sec lol
[00:05] <sdfewfs> amenado, linux bridge doesn't need an IP address.
[00:05] <bazhang> Asra: that depends--what are you downloading
[00:05] <sdfewfs> amenado, defeats the purpose of bridging.
[00:05] <Asra> bazang: just some random stuff via torrent, but the seeds are over 200
[00:06] <Jdaniels> help! my browser keeps crashing and I dont know what to do. =*(
[00:06] <fabio> check the max download speed
[00:06] <Draco> sdfewfs: hmm, even if you wanted to forward the bridged connections to another system?
[00:06] <IRSeekBot_spys> I'm thinking about getting a lap top
[00:06] <Asra> fabio: max down and up speed are on unlimited
[00:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Asra, Not using comcast by chance?
[00:06] <bazhang> Asra: well that would be to do with port forwarding/NAT issues--what client?
[00:06] <sdfewfs> amenado, the wifi card in the linux bridge IS associated with the accesspoint and see's any traffic passing thru the link and other associated clients via tcpdump when in promisc mode. and it is passing ethernet frames from the wireless link to the wired link, to the switch, but computer1 is seeing the wifi arp traffic, just for some reason won't grab an address
[00:06] <amenado> sdfewfs-> linux box has two interfaces yes? one that associates to the AP and the other that connects to the switch?
[00:06] <Asra> nope Jack_Sparrow ... Azureus
[00:07] <bazhang> Jdaniels: right away or after a while
[00:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Asra, Your internet provider?
[00:07] <levander> Is the 64 bit nvidia driver more buggy than the 32 bit one?
[00:07] <sdfewfs> Draco, bridging works at a different layer of the OSI, tcp/ip shouldn't have anything to do with passing frames.
[00:07] <cafuego> levander: No
[00:07] <Jdaniels> bazhang: right away
[00:07] <sdfewfs> amenado,  yes, it's got a wifi card and a wired card.
[00:07] <Asra> UPC .. I doubt you know it unless you're dutch Jack_Sparrow
[00:07] <IRSeekBot_spys> I was wondering, if I took an Ubuntu Live CD with me to BestBuy and put it into the laptops there, would that be a way to test if that laptop will work with Ubuntu? If so, what commands should I try, and how could I tell if the wifi will work, even if there is no active signal in the store?
[00:07] <bazhang> Asra: try a different client; transmission, deluge, ktorrent
[00:07] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: hey
[00:07] <windows_> thx ubotu my frostwire works again :)
[00:07] <Jdaniels> bazhang: well with certain sites. like maill.google is a no go, but google.com just fine.
[00:08] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, Any luck?
[00:08] <bazhang> Jdaniels: try running it from the terminal and pastebin any errors you get
[00:08] <Asra> you say its the NAT right bazhang .. Iĺl see if I can adjust that
[00:08] <PriceChild> IRSeekBot_spys: see if the wireless card is recognised in the network manager
[00:08] <amenado> sdfewfs-> you have the wifi card of the linux acting as AP? ie in infrastructure mode?
[00:08] <Jdaniels> bazhang: wrong firefox from terminal? please tell me how
[00:08] <luis_> hello all, ok, so I extract tracks from a CD using sound juicer and want to put them on my ipod with amarok only that the tracks are extracted as .ogg, anyway I can make them into .mp3 in Ubuntu?
[00:08] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: I have not really done anything since you left, I dont think i have enough space on other drives to make an image of them
[00:08] <sdfewfs> amenado, no, not in AP mode. should i put it in AP mode to associate with the AP?
[00:08] <luis_> hello all, ok, so I extract tracks from a CD using sound juicer and want to put them on my ipod with amarok only that the tracks are extracted as .ogg, anyway I can make them into .mp3 in Ubuntu?
[00:08] <IRSeekBot_spys> Is that System > Administration > Network ?
[00:08] <sdfewfs> amenado, doesn't seem right...
[00:09] <PriceChild> IRSeekBot_spys: its next to the volume on the panel
[00:09] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: but i did a e2fsck -n on the degraded array and got told that there is an illegal inode number
[00:09] <amenado> sdfewfs-> im just trying to establish how your wifi card mode is, and how it is associated to the AP..(or acting as AP)
[00:09] <arizalord> bazhang, it said: none process eliminated.. it made nothing
[00:09] <arizalord> :S
[00:09] <IRSeekBot_spys> Okay so something should be showing up there, and even if there is no hot spot in the store it will be evident if the wifi would work if there were a hotspot?
[00:09] <adekoba> i have a webpage on a remote shared-host, but I cannot access the apache logs. How can I log the number of downloads or somehow get a hit-count for all files (i.e., not just html/php pages)? I have cgi-bin access, btw.
[00:10] <sdfewfs> amenado, it's a wireless bridge, not an accesspoint. the bridge is asscoated properly with the AP.
[00:10] <bazhang> Jdaniels: firefox
[00:10] <Jdaniels> bazhang: INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the plugin manager
[00:10] <Jdaniels> System error?:: Success
[00:10] <sdfewfs> i need to bridge wireless internet into my wired network.
[00:10] <PriceChild> IRSeekBot_spys: yes, because it will have "wired networking" *and* "wireless networks"
[00:10] <IRSeekBot_spys> Okay got it.
[00:10] <IRSeekBot_spys> Thanks.
[00:10] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, pastebin the output please
[00:10] <luis_> any programme to make .ogg filed into .mp3 in ubuntu?
[00:10] <Jdaniels> bazhang: I was trying to manualy install Java... I think I entered a command that linked...
[00:11] <Jdaniels> bazhang: yeah I dont know the terms.
[00:11] <poddus> I need some help installing ubuntu
[00:11] <sdfewfs> amenado, the bridge is working properly as far as i can tell. as my laptop is associated with the AP, and so is the linux bridge. and computer1 is seeing traffic from my laptop's mac address, so by which, traffic is going from laptop, to AP, from AP to linux bridge, from linuxbridge to switch, then to computer1.
[00:11] <amenado> sdfewfs-> which interface name of linus is the one thats connected to the switch? and you set it in promiscous mode?
[00:11] <bazhang> Jdaniels: then that would be the problem--just type firefox in the terminal and pastebin any errors it gives

[00:11] <shyboy_> hi everybody
[00:11] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  http://marginalhacks.com/bin/ogg2mp3
[00:12] <khaotik> could anyone help me get my wireless working on a compaq presario c700?
[00:12] <joobaby> !rules
[00:12] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[00:12] <sdfewfs> amenado, ath0 is asscoaited with the AP. eth0 is connected to the switch. eth0 and ath0 are in promisc mode. br0 has eth0 and ath0 added to it and br0 itself is in promisc mode.
[00:12] <Draco> luis_: ffmpeg and mencoder should work
[00:12] <khaotik> my blue light is on but i am still getting no internet
[00:12] <Jdaniels> bazhang thats what it gives.
[00:12] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  uses lame to convert
[00:12] <luis_> are these apps packaged with ubntu in the add programmes menu?
[00:12] <khaotik> could anyone help me get my wireless working on a compaq presario c700?
[00:12] <fabio> !info lame | luis_
[00:12] <ubotu> luis_: lame (source: lame): LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.97-0.0 (gutsy), package size 268 kB, installed size 728 kB
[00:13] <joobaby> I cant get my mp3 files to work after doing the restricited formats install, should I covert to vorbis?
[00:13] <amenado> sdfewfs-> now does linux eth0 have an ip address assigned? can you ping it from the wired client?
[00:13] <bazhang> Jdaniels: you might try to undo what you did with the java or uninstall firefox and reinstall it--not sure what you did with the java though so hard to tell
[00:13] <joobaby> also is frowned upon to ask about places to dl torrent, I used to use oink but its teh gone.
[00:13] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, When it asks you to clear, say yes
[00:13] <bazhang> joobaby: using what app
[00:13] <joobaby> um
[00:13] <sdfewfs> amenado, ip addresses won't work when the bridge is enabled.
[00:13] <Jdaniels> bazhang: if i find the command I enetered, would someone know how to undo it?
[00:14] <khaotik> could anyone help me get my wireless working on a compaq presario c700?
[00:14] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: i would have to run e2fsck without -n then wouldnt I? Is there any other flags i should use
[00:14] <bazhang> Jdaniels: you need to describe exactly what you did, not just a single command
[00:14] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  you can do it from a command-line script, ie ogg2mp3 (Google it)
[00:14] <tominglis> Slart: hey, i tried sudo make uninstall and i get: make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop.
[00:14] <arizalord> bazhang, sorry.. i'm a headache... but i'm still without panels!
[00:14] <fabio> ./configure first
[00:14] <joobaby> bazhang, cd player?
[00:14] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  i don't know any GUI programs to convert ogg files to mp3s off hand
[00:14] <fabio> then  you can make uninstall
[00:14] <gemidjy> hello, I might be offtopic, but, does Wuby install within Windows and start it IN windows ?

[00:15] <joobaby> id rather not convert
[00:15] <gemidjy> install Ubuntu*
[00:15] <PriceChild> gemidjy: it does not "start it in windows".
[00:15] <amenado> sdfewfs-> really? you would not be able to assign an ip address to eth0? i would think you could, as the brctl interface br0 is different from eth0.. i may be wrong but that is how my thoughts are
[00:15] <Jack_Sparrow> gemidjy, Because it is unsupported and in my opinion a very bad way to try ubuntu
[00:15] <kitche> gemidjy: no it makes a image that you can boot into that is ubuntu
[00:15] <kitche> !wubi | gemidjy
[00:15] <ubotu> gemidjy: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://wubi-installer.org/
[00:15] <Asra> installing Ktorrent bazhang ... hopefully that works better
[00:15] <PriceChild> gemidjy: it is started from the same point where you choose whether to boot windows at its boot menu.
[00:15] <hooper82> Can somone help me re: static routes?
[00:15] <sdfewfs> amenado, i'm unable to get ping or any tcp testing methods to work when the bridge is up. this is linux, not openbsd ;)
[00:15] <bazhang> joobaby: you are having hardware issues? what software application in #ubuntu are you using to play mp3's
[00:15] <fabio> Asra try transmission
[00:16] <sdfewfs> amenado, i can only use tcpdump to check for ethernet frames.
[00:16] <Asra> transmission better?
[00:16] <fabio> maybe
[00:16] <fabio> bitstormlite is the fastest around
[00:16] <bazhang> asra they are all better than Azureus ;]
[00:16] <amenado> sdfewfs-> i thought they use the same tcp/ip stack now..but i could be wrong too..
[00:16] <gemidjy> kitche Jack_Sparrow thanks
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:16] <poddus> When I try to install ubuntu 7.10 on my mac pro, it starts running the installer scripts but then the cd spins down and nothing happens. any thoughts?
[00:16] <amenado> hooper82-> what is the issue?
[00:16] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  look into soundconverter.  that might be what you want
[00:16] <Asra> well .. fabio I'm pertty used to Azureus from windows which used to work fine .. so anything simulair but faster would be nice :)
[00:16] <xenthro> hey, I just compiled my first .deb and it works with ubuntu. where should I upload it for the good of all?
[00:16] <bazhang> arizalord: when you ran that command what was the error you got?
[00:16] <sdfewfs> dhcp won't bind to either eth0 or ath0 or br0 when the bridge is up.
[00:17] <joobaby> bazhang, I dont believe so, I can play sound from other things, I assumed I was using the 'cd player' app
[00:17] <bazhang> arizalord: and that should be without the << you know
[00:17] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  it uses the gstreamer libraries for lame, i believe
[00:17] <sdfewfs> take bridge down, dhcp works and ping works. bridge up, ping/dhcp dies.
[00:17] <neverblue> xenthro, as u can imagine, its just not that 'easy'
[00:17] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: i would have to run e2fsck without -n then wouldnt I? Is there any other flags i should use
[00:17] <Jack_Sparrow> xenthro, what deb did you compile?
[00:17] <luis_> how can I get soundconverter?
[00:17] <bazhang> joobaby: you need to give the name of the app--not sure what cd player is
[00:17] <Jdaniels> bazhang: in firefox/plugins I typed ln -s (javainstalldir0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_ogi.so
[00:17] <xenthro> its "nzbget" a commandline usenet binary downloader
[00:17] <amenado> sdfewfs-> i see, i didnt know that dhcpd would not bind to eth0 if its a bridge..
[00:18] <neverblue> nice xenthro
[00:18] <Jdaniels> bazhang: after I had all the java stuff installed in its own directory.
[00:18] <joobaby> bazhang, on my add/remove list it simply says 'cd player', I could download another if you have a recommendation
[00:18] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  try 'apt-cache search soundconverter'.  if it doesn't return anything you may need another repo in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:18] <amenado> sdfewfs-> you really meant dhcp not dhcpd ?
[00:18] <sdfewfs> amenado, yup. but, i'm totally boggled as to why computer1 can see arp frames from my laptop, after it's going thru my bridge, and to the AP.... but won't grab dhcpd.
[00:18] <bazhang> Jdaniels: that would likely be the source of your woes, as firefox complains about the plugin manager
[00:18] <sdfewfs> amenado, yes
[00:18] <Asra> well .. ktorrent isn't much faster to be honest .. still only 6KB/s :S
[00:18] <hooper82> Can somone help me re: static routes?
[00:18] <sdfewfs> amenado, err no
[00:18] <ThunderX> Did one of the last upates broke ntfs-3g ?
[00:18] <arizalord> yes... it said.... gnome-panel: none process eliminated
[00:19] <DuKKoN> hi, exist a repository from apache for ubuntu 7.10?
[00:19] <brand0co1> im having problems with usb flash devices not automounting correctly upon insert.  i get a "invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume"
[00:19] <Jdaniels> bazhang I am certain of it, all my probllems stem from that moment. Any way to unlink them?
[00:19] <brand0co1> any suggestions?  how do i set up ivman
[00:19] <bazhang> joobaby: try rhythmbox, amarok etc
[00:19] <luis_> when I typed in "apt-cache search soundconverter" all it gave me back was "soundconverter - Convert audio files into other formats", wtf? lol

[00:19] <zth> GODNIGHT FREINDDS OFF ZXTH!!
[00:19] <amenado> sdfewfs-> you got an interesting setup there..
[00:19] <tominglis_> hi i have installed a driver, and want to uninstall it, but sudo make uninstall doesn't work, can i just delete the .ko file in /lib/...
[00:19] <Asra> ohw .. there she blows .. 200 KB/s .. thats a lot better
[00:19] <bazhang> zth caps please
[00:20] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  apt-get install soundconverter
[00:20] <tominglis_> http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=HowTo_compile_for_Ubuntu_6.06_LTS
[00:20] <arizalord> bazhang: yes i know... it said.... gnome-panel: none process eliminated
[00:20] <fabio> So Azureus sucks !
[00:20] <tominglis_> these were the instructions i followed, but i put it in the wrong place
[00:20] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, Can you give me the output of lshw first?
[00:20] <tominglis_> before putting it in the right place
[00:20] <brand0co1> help mounting usb devices in xubuntu
[00:20] <bazhang> Jdaniels: I fear to tread there; perhaps delete that plugin
[00:20] <Asra> what was that other torrent agent you where talking about .. (yes Azureus sucks .. probably the java stuff clogging it)
[00:20] <amenado> tominglis-> you compiled a kernel module and you put it where?
[00:20] <ConstyXIV> how do you get your laptop's external display to act as a second monitor (GMA 900)?
[00:20] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  it *should* install the dependencies and you can then run it from the menu
[00:21] <fabio> bitstormlite is very small
[00:21] <thinkpaduser> fabio:  i use transmission.  it is tiny
[00:21] <amenado> hooper82-> what is the issue?  i missed your response if any
[00:21] <luis_> it asks me if I'm root when i try to install it, wtf lol
[00:21] <sdfewfs> amenado, i didn't want to buy a bridge, as it's pointless because i have no control to make a transparent firewall. and i've done with setup with openbsd, which from my experience was flawless and a fraction of the effort. my friend has high speed internet across the street, and he has an AP. so, i'm trying to use a wifi card i bought and turn it into a wireless bridge, and bridge a wireless link into my switch, so the rest of
[00:21] <sdfewfs>  my network is transparently connected to his AP.
[00:21] <bazhang> fabio: for Linux? or under Wine
[00:21] <joobaby> bazhang, do I need to remove something in order to install another player? says there is a conflict and I should switch to synaptic package manager to fix it
[00:21] <tominglis_> amenado: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel
[00:21] <fabio> linus
[00:21] <fabio> linux
[00:21] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> for instance, I have a gif image thats 8.5x11 and the file size is 180k but when printed as a pdf its 2.6mb?
[00:21] <Jack_Sparrow> luis_, Please lose the rude shorthand
[00:21] <bazhang> nice
[00:21] <luis_> sorry
[00:21] <fabio> bitstormlite is very little and fast
[00:21] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  sorry, try 'sudo apt-get install soundconverter'
[00:21] <sdfewfs> amenado, you follow that?
[00:21] <Jdaniels> bazhang: how do I delete the plugin?
[00:22] <fabio> but the version under ubuntu/debian is old
[00:22] <tominglis_> amenado: both ubuntu/media/usbvideo and drivers/media/video/usbvideo
[00:22] <Asra> I really want to see an interface thats easy to read fabio one that tells you more then the basic bittornado kinda thing ... ktorrent looks the part .. anything that works better/faster is welcome .. but it must be understandable :)
[00:22] <bazhang> joobaby: yeah synaptic would be a good choice
[00:22] <luis_> aha, I got it, thanks
[00:22] <fabio> get it from redhat
[00:22] <ThunderX> Do you have a tutorial for using two different video cards on two monitors by actually splitting your GNOME desktop between the two cards?

[00:22] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  here's the website for it: http://soundconverter.berlios.de/
[00:22] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  with screenshots
[00:22] <tominglis_> amenado: but i should have put it in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/usbvideo, which i've now done, but should i just delete the two old files?
[00:22] <luis_> thanks
[00:23] <Jack_Sparrow> ThunderX, You want one desktop spread across two monitors to make one wide desktop
[00:23] <hooper82> amenado > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=714379 <-- that kinda sums it up.
[00:23] <amenado> tominglis yes, you can delete those kernel modules you put in the wrong directory
[00:23] <RyanPrior> Is there a fsck program that works with NTFS filesystems?
[00:23] <ThunderX> Yes but using two different physical video cards (One for each monitor)
[00:23] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> is this the right place to ask this question? I have searched the forums and cant seem to locate anything helpful
[00:23] <fabio> testdisk ?
[00:24] <ThunderX> I was able to make this work with one video card with two moinitor entries
[00:24] <bazhang> RyanPrior: you want to defrag the ntfs partition or what
[00:24] <amenado> sdfewfs-> you are bridging your wireless card to his AP? and his AP is in bridge mode?
[00:24] <tominglis_> amenado: ace, is there anything else i need to do, someone said i should change the makefile back to the bad addresses and sudo make uninstall but that doesn't work
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> ThunderX, THe short answer is yes. I have seen people do it..  /msg ubotu for twinview and dualhead  see if that helps
[00:24] <Asra> btw guys .. thnx for the help ... I must say the linux/ubuntu world is a comforting pleasant one :) ... good night .. I'm off to bed
[00:24] <sdfewfs> amenado, i dunno about his AP it's a linksys something
[00:25] <RyanPrior> My NTFS filesystem is corrupted - is there a tool I can use to dianose and fix it?
[00:25] <RyanPrior> *diagnose
[00:25] <amenado> tominglis-> i would not touch the Makefile..or if you have to, modify the install target instead
[00:25] <PriceChild> RyanPrior: I would suggest using tools from windows
[00:25] <oso> join #Azureus-support
[00:25] <sdfewfs> RyanPrior, scandisk!!!!!
[00:25] <RyanPrior> PriceChild: I don't have Windows.
[00:25] <amenado> sdfewfs-> thats what i want to know, you are using his AP or your own AP?
[00:25] <fabio> ntfsfix
[00:25] <ThunderX> With 6.06 I was able to actually have two desktops (One on each monitor) with the same hardware's setup: but I was never able to spread one destop on both monitors
[00:25] <PriceChild> RyanPrior: why do you have an ntfs drive?
[00:25] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> Does anyone have any Ideas?  I dont want to have to email this to my wife so she can print it with primo pdf on XP to get a reasonable file size?
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> RyanPrior, try to find hirens cd it is bootable cd with misc tools
[00:25] <tarelerulz> What is good text to speech program For reading Web pages ? Stuff like wikipedia .
[00:25] <RyanPrior> Because I bought an external hard drive and that's what came on it.
[00:25] <ThunderX>  /msg ubotu twinview
[00:25] <sdfewfs> amenado, i don't have an accesspoint,
[00:26] <ThunderX>  /msg ubotu dualhead
[00:26] <sdfewfs> amenado, i'm trying to bridge my linux box's wifi card to his AP. which is working.
[00:26] <fabio> man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsfix.8.html
[00:26] <sdfewfs> amenado, as i can see ethernet frames passing thru the kernel.
[00:26] <tominglis_> amenado: thanks loads
[00:26] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> anyone?
[00:26] <xenthro> RyanPrior, ntfsfix (nix package) can only go so far as to flag an ntfs volume to be checked by the MS chkdsk... which comes with windows. you can also access it by starting up a windows cd and going to the recovery console. one of the options is "chkdsk"
[00:27] <amenado> sdfewfs-> im not sure if an AP thats in infrastructure mode, can be dual bridge mode also..promiscous is not bridging(at least i dont think so) but you said using openbsd it works..so am wrong maybe..
[00:27] <zero88> Excuse me. What is the best software to copy a DVD to an .iso other then Brasero?
[00:27] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: that help at all?
[00:27] <amenado> tominglis-> it worked?
[00:27] <palomer> how do you count the number of lines in a file?
[00:27] <xenthro> RyanPrior, in other words, you will need windows in one form or another
[00:27] <PriceChild> zero88: nautilus has that built in. Right click the file :)
[00:27] <Jdaniels> palomer: | wc
[00:28] <zero88> PriceChild i believe i used that. it made a 1.1 mb iso and stopped.?
[00:28] <levander> Jack_Sparrow: Have you ever gotten video to play from a Windows box over rdesktop?  I try it and just get a black box in Windows Media Player where the video would be.
[00:28] <amenado> hooper82-> two commands you need to make your ubuntu box a router
[00:28] <sdfewfs> amenado, yeah, i'm still investigating it. just weird why arp traffic passes thru but won't let dhcp requests go through.
[00:28] <joobaby> new to linux, trying to install an mp3 program but I can't get rhythm box, vlc, amarok, etc to install as there is apparently some conflict, how do I find the conflict in synaptic to remove?
[00:28] <Jack_Sparrow> levander, no
[00:28] <PriceChild> zero88: first i've heard of it failing :)
[00:28] <amenado> hooper82-> sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipvr/ip_forward
[00:28] <PriceChild> joobaby: please pastebin the output of sudo apt-get -f install
[00:28] <PriceChild> !paste | joobaby
[00:28] <ubotu> joobaby: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined 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 channel topic)
[00:29] <xenthro> joobaby, can you describe the exact conflict/error message?
[00:29] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, I don't see any partition assigned /dev/sdb1
[00:29] <zero88> PriceChild, wow i jsut tried it again and it jsut dissapeared???
[00:29] <Jdaniels> bazhang: do you know how to delete a plugin from firefox, manually?
[00:29] <amenado> sdfewfs-> i guess having your wifi ath0 in promiscous mode, it sees all the broadcasted traffic, but it only means in monitor mode and not in TX mode?
[00:29] <joobaby> rhythm box says there is a hardware conflifct
[00:29] <levander> Jack_Sparrow: You haven't tried it, or it doesn't work?
[00:30] <lunks> How do I make a module load on startup? I blacklisted b43 and thought bcm43xx would start automatically, but it's not...
[00:30] <bazhang> arizalord you still there?
[00:30] <amenado> sdfewfs-> to communicate you need both to TX & RX ..promiscous to me is only RX mode..
[00:30] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: there was one there before I reinstalled ubuntu on the 750gb drive
[00:30] <sdfewfs> amenado, dunno. according to promisc all packets will be recceived by the interface, wehther or not their destined for the intented card.
[00:30] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> If anyone knows anything about why the file sizes of pdfs created in ubuntu are so large and how to fix it please let me know
[00:31] <shyboy_> re
[00:31] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: maybe playing around and trying to force it to mount has done something, but i certainly have not deleted any partitions
[00:31] <shyboy_> vous connaissez une applic sur ubuntu pour faire du benchmarking?
[00:31] <amenado> sdfewfs-> yes Recieved, but in promiscous  mode, i dont think you can also TX at same time
[00:31] <fabio> huge pdf ?
[00:31] <bazhang> Jdaniels: I would remove that folder, but worried about anything else that was done
[00:31] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> yes
[00:31] <bazhang> shyboy_: /join #ubuntu-fr
[00:31] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, Can you give me the output of sfdisk -l ?
[00:31] <amenado> sdfewfs-> you follow me? TX is not same as RX only
[00:31] <fabio> open with evince and learn more about it
[00:31] <ThunderX> Quel genre de Bechmarking?
[00:32] <fabio> maybe it's just a ps file
[00:32] <Jdaniels> bazhang: that was all that I did, so remove the linked folder?
[00:32] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, err: sfdisk -l /dev/sdb
[00:32] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> a 1.6k file turns into a 2.6meg file when printed using cups-pdf
[00:32] <nickrud> ThunderX: ??
[00:32] <BIOSboiler> What should i use to play mp3's?
[00:32] <bazhang> Jdaniels: err well worth a shot--this is why I never do stuff manually ;]
[00:32] <amenado> hooper82-> iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o pppoe(interface) -j MASQUERADE
[00:32] <ThunderX> What kind of Benchmarking, I ment
[00:32] <BIOSboiler> What should i use to play mp3's?
[00:32] <bazhang> BIOSboiler: you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[00:32] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58312/
[00:33] <nickrud> ThunderX: ah, that was a reply :)
[00:33] <Jdaniels> bazhang: what bothers me most is that opera, galeon, and epiphany all fail as well.
[00:33] <Kuwanger> I'm having some problems with Xnest.  How do I avoid the "Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server"?  I've tried using -ac (which I don't like), but then the Xnest window doesn't display.
[00:33] <sdfewfs> amenado, had to poop, yes i follow.
[00:33] <sdfewfs> amenado, wonder if i need to do something with his AP
[00:33] <bazhang> Jdaniels: then that is a worry; you did the same manual thing for them as well?
[00:33] <Jdaniels> no.
[00:33] <BIOSboiler> What should i use to play mp3's?
[00:33] <sdfewfs> amenado, i picked linux because wpa-psk is much friendly, even though it's not the final answer with wifi security.
[00:33] <fabio> cups-pdf uses ghostscript
[00:33] <LaserLine> Does anyone know where I can donate my company PCs?  Hopefully a place that would install ubuntu on them and that's a credible non-profit.  I'm in Pasadena, CA (near Los Angeles0.
[00:34] <ThunderX> :P
[00:34] <sdfewfs> i've cracked wpa-psk.
[00:34] <jerbear> how do i install vmware player in ubuntu?
[00:34] <Jdaniels> bazhang i installed them after I broke firefox =)
[00:34] <bazhang> BIOSboiler: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[00:34] <amenado> sdfewfs-> you have to the tools to crack em? you have the talents
[00:34] <BIOSboiler> how would i know
[00:34] <BIOSboiler> ?
[00:34] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> I have the same problem with gscan2pdf, is there a better tool than ghostscript?
[00:34] <BIOSboiler> sources.list?
[00:34] <PriceChild> !offtopic
[00:34] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[00:35] <bazhang> Jdaniels: try uninstalling and then reinstalling firefox then
[00:35] <ThunderX> jerbear: Try whith Automatix
[00:35] <Jdaniels> bazhang: how do I do that?
[00:35] <desertc> Q: I hate optical media, in general, but I am trying to burn a bunch of Ubuntu discs to give away.  I bought a large spindle of blank DVD-R discs, and I keep getting the error "Wrong media type" with K3B and growisofs .  Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?  My recording drive has worked many times in the past.  I have tried rebooting, setting the record speed to 1x, tried different programs, and I have tried 12 different discs.
[00:35] <bazhang> BIOSboiler: go into synaptic package manager and check
[00:35] <Jack_Sparrow> ThunderX, Terrible idea
[00:35] <jerbear> ThunderX: i'd rather not
[00:35] <nickrud> add   deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner   to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get  install vmware-server  jerbear don't use automatix
[00:35] <sutabi> Anyone know of a wireless PCI or USB that works on Ubuntu without  restricted drivers? I have a PCI TrendNet 421PC which worked with the older versions of ubuntu but not on 7.10. So I just wanna but one and one where I dont have to jum p threw loops to buy
[00:35] <Jack_Sparrow> jerbear, Dont try automatix
[00:35] <ThunderX> Why not, it worked for me fine: it even de-installed pretty well
[00:35] <amenado> LaserLine-> how old are these PC's? you know the issue with non-profits accepting those, is it cost them a lot to maintain s/w or h/w wise
[00:35] <jerbear> trust me, i'm not
[00:35] <BIOSboiler> whats a good mp3 player
[00:35] <bazhang> ThunderX: very bad suggestion please do not mention AUTOMATIX in here
[00:35] <BIOSboiler> hey jason
[00:35] <joobaby> sup
[00:35] <desertc> BIOSboiler: totem
[00:35] <drarem> how can I echo something to another terminal and press the enter key, kinda of like this..   echo 'ls -lh ~' > /dev/pts1
[00:35] <BIOSboiler> cool
[00:36] <Jack_Sparrow> ThunderX, No it dint de-install period
[00:36] <BIOSboiler> whats totem
[00:36] <fabio> audacious
[00:36] <jerbear> why vmware-server?
[00:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !worksforme | ThunderX
[00:36] <ubotu> ThunderX: 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/
[00:36] <fabio> gnome media player
[00:36] <ThunderX> I had no problem, I even updated from Player to Server
[00:36] <alex1> hi guys. i want to set up internet over ad hoc wireless on my ubuntu laptop. i tried "create new wireless network", but it doesn't show up on my other laptop. what am i doing wrong?
[00:36] <amenado> LaserLine-> a good example are companies donating these CRT that are practically expensive (it will cost the non-profit more when its their time to dump it)
[00:36] <sdfewfs> amenado, aircrack suite, genpmk, and about 4Tb for hash tables, combined, eats thru wpa-psk like a hotknife through butter.
[00:36] <bazhang> Jdaniels: sudo apt-get remove packagename or use synaptic package manager and mark to remove
[00:36] <jerbear> i just want the player
[00:36] <nickrud> jerbear: it is more capable than the player, you can create your own vms. Plays player stuff as well
[00:37] <Jdaniels> bazhang: thanks!
[00:37] <BIOSboiler> PLEASE help me-- whats a good mp3 player
[00:37] <amenado> sdfewfs-> you have that much storage ? 4TB? you have some serious stuff there
[00:37] <jerbear> BIOSboiler: quod-libet
[00:37] <nickrud> jerbear: but basically, because it's in a canonical/ubuntu repo, player isn't
[00:37] <sdfewfs> only way to have a good chance is to have a REALLY wild key.    something along the lines of ;laksjdfpo)*@UY#P)*FY&AP{DOjfiyuha[owpeiur N)_*Q#&_($*#&_E)(*FU{#)(*E%#&RUPFDEIFIFJS:)@(#*   and maybe a few more lines of that.
[00:37] <bazhang> BIOSboiler: amarok, rhythmbox, many others
[00:37] <jerbear> nickrud: ok, thanks
[00:37] <desertc> BIOSboiler: you're received answers from 3 people
[00:37] <kotsu> Getting an encrypted DVD to play is frustrating.
[00:37] <desertc> No one has seen the Wrong Media Type error when burning recordable discs?
[00:37] <sdfewfs> yeah, i bought 8x500Gb drives, it's around the 4tb mark. only $100  a pop. pretty cheap.
[00:38] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, Doesn't look good.
[00:38] <fabio> about huge pdf
[00:38] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, I don't think I have enough experience to proceed.
[00:38] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> yes?
[00:38] <kotsu> VLC was the answer for me.
[00:38] <fabio> there is libgnomeprint
[00:38] <bazhang> kotsu go to www.medibuntu.org and install libdvdcss2 from there
[00:38] <kotsu> Thanks Baz.. I did.. didn't help
[00:38] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: should i run e2fsck on my degraded array?
[00:38] <desertc> consider using DRM-free media...
[00:38] <kotsu> I added their repository.
[00:38] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> does that do a better job?
[00:38] <kotsu> Installed win32 codecs too,.
[00:38] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: thanks for the help anyway so far
[00:38] <fabio> open that pdf file and see what is about
[00:38] <MFen> desertc: tell that to netflix :-/
[00:39] <kotsu> VLC works right off the bat.
[00:39] <fabio> in my case yes
[00:39] <ubuntu>  /dev/sda4 is my boot/root partition.. /dev/sda1 is my windows partition.. http://rafb.net/p/hFGwsy55.html what is wrong on this /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[00:39] <zero88> Ok. If i wanted to move a movie to my T-mobile Dash. Would I have to rezise the file and format, and if so to what.and also coould you tell me how you got that information?thanks
[00:39] <amenado> sdfewfs-> thats what i tell people, its not the AP they need to protect its their computer, yes a stranger may get access to the network..but not on their pc if they have a good security on their pc's
[00:39] <desertc> MFen: and that's why I dropped netflix
[00:39] <khaotik> how do i get wireless working on a cmpaq presario????
[00:39] <MFen> although i agree that drm should burn in hell for eternity
[00:39] <khaotik> how do i get wireless working on a cmpaq presario????
[00:39] <MFen> desertc: and went with.. what? if you're renting dvds you're getting css
[00:39] <kotsu> Yes, VLC can handle css.
[00:39] <kotsu> I was using totem with xine backend.
[00:39] <desertc> mfen: you think drm should burn in hell, but you are okay giving them your money
[00:40] <kotsu> Just wouldn';t  work.
[00:40] <bazhang> khaotik: take a deep breath
[00:40] <MFen> desertc: netflix didn't print the dvds, didn't establish the industry standard, doesn't care what's on them
[00:40] <fabio> totem-xine better than totem-gstreamer
[00:40] <fabio> (i'm not sure of that)
[00:41] <MFen> desertc: and it's already been cracked, so who cares any more.
[00:41] <kotsu> Yes, I switched to xine fabio.  Still couldn't get it to work.
[00:41] <kotsu> So just apt-get vlc and it "just worked"
[00:41] <desertc> MFen: In my country, getting around DRM is a crime.
[00:41] <amenado> khaotik-> after taking a deep breath, describe what kind of chip does your wifi interface have, if its bcm43xx..i will pass..
[00:41] <bazhang> hehe
[00:41] <kotsu> Yeah, I had a real problem with bcm43xx also.
[00:41] <MFen> desertc: in that case, practice civil disobedience and rent dvds
[00:41] <kotsu> Both on my laptop and desktrop.
[00:41] <fabio> mplayer is the best
[00:42] <khaotik> i had the blue light coming on but when i installed the ndiswrapper and added the driver i was using to the blacklist, the light quit coming on
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> I had no issues with bcm43xx.. fwcutter worked first time on several of them
[00:42] <desertc> mfen: sorry, I obey my country's laws
[00:42] <zero88> Ok. If i wanted to move a movie to my T-mobile Dash. Would I have to rezise the file and format, and if so to what.and also coould you tell me how you got that information?thanks
[00:42] <MFen> desertc: then you deserve them
[00:42] <crackhead_25> how do i find out if my laptop running ubuntu has a microsd slot?? it has a slot, but i dont know what type it is..
[00:42] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  use mplayer
[00:42] <bazhang> khaotik: what wireless card
[00:42] <MFen> "Everyone gets the government they deserve"
[00:42] <desertc> well - I better go before I get kicked for offtopic chat
[00:42] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> fabio: I have libgnomeprint installed
[00:42] <kotsu> Ok thinpaduser.
[00:42] <zero88> Also, how do i access my micro SD card on my cell phone?
[00:42] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  sorry, TRY mplayer :)
[00:42] <fabio> mplayer rocks !
[00:42] <khaotik> i have already got it working on the computer i am using know but cant get it to work on a compaq presario c700. i think it has the same card as mine
[00:42] <kotsu> Ok.
[00:42] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, I don't think so.
[00:42] <sdfewfs> wireless is still quite secure. the average mojo has trouble setting up keys let alone getting all the required software to work. on top of that i did have to tweak genmpk to pipe my hashes propely
[00:43] <fabio> so from gedit try to print a pdf file
[00:43] <khaotik> broadcom 4311
[00:43] <amenado> crackhead_25-> umm they are small size like those tiny mem card in your cell fone?
[00:43] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  there is a gmplayer GUI, as well
[00:43] <riotkittie> eww. bcom.
[00:43] <kotsu> I'll try think.  The only thing I have left to get working is my sound.  :-/
[00:43] <Mighty_Penguin> i have made a reiserfs partition on my HD using gparted, and i mounted it through mountpy using sudo, how do i get the partition so i can copy and paste files to it?
[00:43] <amenado> khaotik-> i pass then..
[00:43] <bazhang> khaotik: I will give you a link just a second
[00:43] <kotsu> But everything else is a dream.
[00:43] <khaotik> good lookin
[00:43] <fabio> the pdf file you will get is a libgnomeprinted file
[00:43] <crackhead_25> amenado: i dont know if this is a microsd or something else.. i dont know well enough how it looks... what's the console command to see what it is??
[00:43] <JoeLuvsUbuntu> ok,, let me try that
[00:44] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx khaotik read this please
[00:44] <kotsu> Watching LOTR Two Towers now.  Veeery nice,
[00:44] <ubuntu>  /dev/sda4 is my boot/root partition.. /dev/sda1 is my windows partition.. http://rafb.net/p/hFGwsy55.html what is wrong on this /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[00:44] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  sound may come muted by default?  open alsamixer and check it out
[00:44] <kotsu> kk THink.. one sec...
[00:44] <kotsu> "The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured."
[00:44] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  there will be little [MM] thingies under PCM and MASTER if they are muted
[00:44] <amenado> crackhead_25-> you have seen those really tiny memory card inserts (1/4 inches) on cellfones right? as oppose to slightly bigger sd cards( 1/2 inches)
[00:45] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  what's alsamixer do?
[00:45] <kotsu> One sec...
[00:45] <kotsu> "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
[00:45] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: ok thanks for all your help, ill see if I can find someone else
[00:45] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  you have no sound :)
[00:45] <andromda> Hello
[00:45] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, I would try posting something to the mailing list with all this information
[00:45] <kotsu> Errrr...  :)
[00:46] <kotsu> Yes.
[00:46] <kotsu> That is correct sir.  :)
[00:46] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  might try a command-line 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsasound'
[00:46] <andromda> please, anyone could help me with my webcam usb 2.0 in a bangho notebook?
[00:46] <kotsu> Ok think.. one sec...
[00:46] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  or is it alsa-utils?  something like that
[00:46] <andromda> it doesn't work at all
[00:46] <Mighty_Penguin> i need help setting up a partition where the normal user can read/write to the partition, any help?
[00:47] <nickrud> ubuntu: for a root on sda4 it would be hd0,3
[00:47] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: I have tried the forum, not getting much help there... I have no idea how to use mailing lists
[00:47] <bluefoxx> so, any tutorials on setting up ssh so i can access my comp from any windows computer?
[00:47] <no0tic> could avahi-daemon interfere with ServerName apache directive?
[00:47] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras andromda read this please
[00:47] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  is ssh installed?
[00:47] <andromda> thanks bazhang I will read it right now
[00:47] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam andromda and this too ;]
[00:48] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  if it is, just start it with /etc/init.d/sshd start
[00:48] <kotsu> Hrmmm.. command completed successfully but no dice.
[00:48] <kotsu> Let me have a look at system log.
[00:48] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  still no device, huh?
[00:48] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, There just happens to be a linux-raid mailing list too :)
[00:48] <kotsu> Yeah think/
[00:48] <ThunderX> Have anyone installed IBM DB2 Express C on  Ubuntu?
[00:48] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  are there any sound modules loaded?
[00:48] <bluefoxx> thinkpaduser: im looking for  atutorial for it...
[00:49] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  lsmod | grep snd maybe
[00:49] <kotsu> kk
[00:49] <griffi1> hello
[00:49] <cody-somerville> Zoiks, http://www.tldp.org/FAQ/Linux-RAID-FAQ/x37.html
[00:49] <bazhang> Mighty_Penguin: what file system? ntfs?
[00:49] <arizalord> how i can unactive compiz in terminal?
[00:49] <Zoiks> cody-somerville: awesome, ill have to do some reading up on the mailing lists
[00:49] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  sudo apt-get install openssh or ssh or sshd.  i forget which is the Ubuntu package
[00:49] <andromda> ok, thanks!
[00:49] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  then /etc/init.d/sshd start
[00:49] <LaserLine> amenado: sorry for the slow response, most of the PCs are P3's
[00:49] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  it should config your keys for you on first start
[00:50] <Mighty_Penguin> bazhang i just want to make a new partition that i can access via normal user and not root
[00:50] <bazhang> arizalord: to get gnome panel going hit alt f2 then type gnome-panel, then try that command if it is still missing the panels
[00:50] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  then, as long as iptables or a firewall isn't blocking it, you should be able to connect
[00:50] <ubuntu>  /dev/sda4 is my boot/root partition.. /dev/sda1 is my windows partition.. http://rafb.net/p/hFGwsy55.html what is wrong on this /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[00:50] <Mighty_Penguin> i have 32gb free space, and want to use it for a partition for storing stuff
[00:50] <fabio> metacity --replace should stop compiz
[00:50] <bazhang> Mighty_Penguin: to be shareed with windows?
[00:50] <griffi1> Mighty_Penguin: use GParted
[00:50] <Mighty_Penguin> bazhang no
[00:50] <bazhang> shared even
[00:50] <bluefoxx> thinkpaduser: keys??...this is all new to me...most ive done is tried to connect to another computer on my LAN
[00:50] <Mighty_Penguin> griffi1 i am
[00:50] <griffi1> create a ntfs partition
[00:51] <nickrud> ubuntu: for sda4 , it should be hd0,3
[00:51] <bazhang> Mighty_Penguin: ext3 then
[00:51] <arizalord> alt F2.. dont run!
[00:51] <Mighty_Penguin> yes, i tried that, but i had to be root to read/write to that partition
[00:51] <bluefoxx> network stuff is a little confusing for me...everything else i get <. <
[00:52] <bazhang> arizalord: disable compiz first then
[00:52] <nickrud> arizalord: in compiz?
[00:52] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  did you install an ssh server?
[00:52] <joobaby> help installing amarok or any mp3 player
[00:52] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  it is REALLY simple
[00:52] <arizalord> bazhang, how i can disable compiz in terminal?
[00:52] <bazhang> joobaby: sudo apt-get install amarok
[00:52] <bazhang> arizalord: metacity --replace
[00:52] <Mighty_Penguin> bazhang i have created the partition, now how do i get it so normal user and read/write to it?
[00:53] <Mighty_Penguin> it isnt mounted atm
[00:53] <griffi1> Might_Penguin check your fstab, once you ve mounted you partition and change the right to your user
[00:53] <bluefoxx> thinkpaduser: ill give it a shot.
[00:53] <bazhang> Mighty_Penguin: are you logging in as root?
[00:53] <fabio> pkill compiz && metacity --replace (my way to do it)
[00:53] <Mighty_Penguin> no, i'm not logged in as root
[00:53] <Mighty_Penguin> ok
[00:53] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  install the server (openssh sshd ssh or something) then start the service and you are done
[00:53] <bluefoxx> kk
[00:54] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  ssh needs secret keys for the 'handshake' but Ubuntu takes care of that automatically, i believe
[00:54] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  just run '/etc/init.d/sshd start' and you can connect once the server is installed
[00:54] <arizalord> bazhang, it said.. core dumped
[00:54] <bluefoxx> thinkpaduser: kk, thanks. i want to be able to listen to my music at school, from my computer XD this will help  right?
[00:55] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  um... maybe
[00:55] <Wrec> anyone know why firefox's "I'm feeling lucky" feature doesn't work anymore (for me)
[00:55] <griffi1> Mighty_Penguin: What are you trying to do exactly ?
[00:55] <bluefoxx> lols...
[00:55] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  you *can* stream tunes through ssh
[00:55] <Wrec> anyone know why firefox's "I'm feeling lucky" feature doesn't work anymore, in the address bar (for me)
[00:55] <Mighty_Penguin> i just want a simple partition for storing crap
[00:55] <griffi1> mount a ntfs partition from a normal user ?
[00:55] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  but you might want to check out mpd or icecast for what you want to do
[00:55] <bluefoxx> thinkpaduser: kk
[00:56] <fabio> i warn you , the windows partition is already full of crap
[00:56] <thinkpaduser> bluefoxx:  i have never done what you are trying.  ssh will get you in the door to copy stuff, however
[00:56] <fabio> look elesewhere
[00:56] <Mighty_Penguin> I want to simple be able to use a partiton to store crap, and not be root to access it
[00:56] <mintsoup> does ubuntu's vim package do anything that might hamper normal functioning of auto-indent for python files?
[00:56] <Wulfram> is there a food FAQ for setting up kde 4 on ubuntu?
[00:56] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: And is this partition a linux partition or a windows partition?
[00:57] <Mighty_Penguin> linux, i dont need to access it from anything besides ubuntu, i do not dual boot
[00:57] <bazhang> Wulfram: guessing you mean Good faq there; try #kubuntu-kde4
[00:57] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: Then chown is your best friend.
[00:57] <Mighty_Penguin> chown?
[00:57] <ArthurArchnix> change ownership I think
[00:58] <[T]ank> whenever i ssh to a server it takes for ever to establish the connection. However if I ping it everything is very responsive. I wonder if i am missing a setting somewhere. I have checked resolve.conf and that I have a hostname set up. i do not know where else to look. any ideas? I am ssh'ing to an ip address not a dns name
[00:58] <thinkpaduser> Mighty_Penguin:  just mkfs an empty partition and mount it in fstab
[00:58] <joobaby> bazhang, says I have an impossible situation when I try to install amarok and gives me a list of several "unmet dependencies"
[00:58] <thinkpaduser> Mighty_Penguin:  you can make it whatever filesystem type you like, and mount it with user perms
[00:58] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: Say you had a partition mounted to /media/myfiles  and your name was mp  you would do this: sudo chown -R mp:mp /media/myfiles
[00:58] <griffi1> Mighty_Penguin: check this link it should help you out http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mount_MS_Windows_partitions_(FAT,NTFS)
[00:58] <kotsu> T.. try adding that hostname to /etc/hosts  it is probably doing some reverse name lookup.
[00:58] <kotsu> I've had that happen before.
[00:59] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  got sound yet?
[00:59] <Mighty_Penguin> too much at once..
[00:59] <bazhang> joobaby: please pastebin the errors you are getting (not in the channel but to pastebin)
[00:59] <kotsu> No think,.
[00:59] <joobaby> k
[00:59] <kotsu> alsa was not enabled by default
[00:59] <nickrud> ArthurArchnix: that's true for fs's that respect unix permissions, doesn't work for ntfs/vfat
[00:59] <kotsu> So I checked it.
[00:59] <joobaby> !pastebin
[00:59] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  :( nice find though!
[00:59] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined 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 channel topic)
[00:59] <kotsu> But not getting very far.
[00:59] <Pelo> evening folks
[00:59] <kotsu> I did an /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start
[00:59] <ArthurArchnix> nickrud: ah yes, but that is why I asked him if this was windows or linux partition, and he said he only runs linux!!! ;P
[00:59] <nickrud> Pelo: tag
[00:59] <Motorsport3> hello, I just changed my ubuntu password, and now everytime I log on, it'll ask me for a password for my keyring. how do I fix this?
[01:00] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  i think it comes muted.  might want to see if alsamixer shows a card
[01:00] <Pelo> nickrud, are you available for something a bit off topic ?
[01:00] <kotsu> Ok.  Let me try that again.
[01:00] <nickrud> Pelo: sure, just getting off work
[01:00]  * Pelo is IT apparently
[01:00] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  then unmute the stuff if it does, and run 'sudo alsactl store card0'
[01:00]  * nickrud was Just About to Sign Off
[01:00] <Pelo> nickrud, does the flash on this page work for you ?  http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2008/02/mac-vs-pc-vs-li.html
[01:00] <kotsu> think:  Hrmm...  "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
[01:00] <joobaby> bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58315/
[01:00] <Mighty_Penguin> ArthurArchnix i have /media/ i just want /media/sda1 soo.. i change /myfiles to /sda1?
[01:01] <kotsu> Still poking around.
[01:01] <joobaby> paste bin is cool btw
[01:01] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: It might be a bad idea to chown /media ... ubuntu uses that for its own purposes. Why don't we create a new directory and mount the partition there?
[01:01] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  i think you onyl enabled ALSA in Gnome.  the hardware is still missing
[01:01] <kotsu> think:  what do you suggest?
[01:01] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  does lsmod return any sound or snd stuff?
[01:02]  * bluefoxx drops to the ground clutching his eyes in pain from the blinding light of the sun in his face. oh the evil screen glare; on both monitors > .>
[01:02] <Mighty_Penguin> ok ArthurArchnix so i would need to make a new file just anything?
[01:02] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  it should
[01:02] <bazhang> joobaby: what about installing rhythmbox--sudo apt-get install etc what does that do
[01:02] <[T]ank> kotsu: here is what I have already in /etc/hosts: http://pastebin.ca/927097 look correct? I have not changed anything
[01:02] <kotsu> I grepped for "snd" but it returned nothing.
[01:02] <Pelo> bluefoxx, ???
[01:02] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: What's the partition for? Multimedia, files,.. what do you want to call it? Lockeroom? :)
[01:02] <kotsu> lsmod | grep snd
[01:02] <humbolto> Usually using public key auth in SSH means, creating a key-pair locally and putting the public on the machine you want to be able to connect to with public key auth. Now somebody has provided me with an id_rsa and id_dsa file instead. How can I make use of it without replacing my original key?
[01:03] <nickrud> Pelo: yes, in both the 64bit and 32 bit firefoxes
[01:03] <joobaby> bazhang: something about a hardware issue, let me try real quick
[01:03] <Mighty_Penguin> ArthurArchnix just for storing stuff
[01:03] <bazhang> Pelo: loads fine here fine too
[01:03] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: Ok, try this then: sudo mkdir /storage
[01:03] <Mighty_Penguin> ArthurArchnix calling it "Stuff" would work
[01:03] <Pelo> nickrud, do me a favor,  get the flsh file from you /tmp folder and dcc it to me , I can't view this for some reason
[01:03] <ArthurArchnix> Sure.. just switch that for storage
[01:03] <kotsu> Tank.. that doesn't look right.  /etc/hosts is IP address followed by hostname for name resolution.
[01:03] <Mighty_Penguin> ok
[01:03] <kotsu> Not URLs.
[01:04] <[T]ank> kotsu: that is the one created by default... how should I adjust it
[01:04] <Galga> hi
[01:04] <[T]ank> just remove the url stuff?
[01:04] <Aoife> Stupid question... is there any reason I should be using UUIDs in my /etc/fstab over plain old /dev/sda* ?
[01:04] <furythor> I did installed Opera and now I can't get JAVA to work on it
[01:04] <Galga> where can i find about new stuff included in Hardy ?
[01:04] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  try 'sudo modprobe soundcore' and see if anything loads
[01:04] <Starnestommy> Galga: maybe #ubuntu+1
[01:04] <kotsu> Tank.. here is what I have in mine.. some IPv6 also
[01:04] <kotsu> kotsu@tranquility:/etc/init.d$ cat /etc/hosts
[01:04] <kotsu> 127.0.0.1       localhost
[01:04] <kotsu> 127.0.1.1       tranquility
[01:04] <Dr_willis> Aoife,  it makes it easier if you remove disks, and use removeable disks a lot.
[01:04] <Galga> k, thanks
[01:04] <arizalord> how i can disable compiz definitely?
[01:04] <joobaby> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58316/
[01:04] <griffi1> arizalord: uninstall it
[01:04] <emma> get an ATi card.
[01:05] <Pelo> arizalord, menu > system > prefs > appearance > last tab
[01:05] <kitche> arizalord: yeah just uninstall it
[01:05] <thinkpaduser> emma:  haha
[01:05] <arizalord> griffil, mmm.. nice point...! thx!
[01:05] <Aoife> Dr_willis, so if I'm on a laptop, and unlikely to change disks, it's probably not going to matter as much?
[01:05] <furythor> I did installed Opera and now I can't get JAVA to work on it
[01:05] <Mighty_Penguin> ok ArthurArchnix i've made /stuff, and set permissions to my user, how do i mount the partition automaticly there?
[01:05] <Dr_willis> Aoife,  proberly not. I set up My system to mount based on disk label. :) but i have a lot of hd's and i often swap them out.
[01:05] <Pelo> nickrud, ?
[01:05] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: Is this partition usually mounted at boot? If so it will be in your fstab and all we have to do is tell it not to put it at /media/sd#, but change that to /stuff
[01:05] <furythor> Opera crashes every time I try to run java applet
[01:06] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: If you need help with this part, paste the output of: cat /etc/fstab   in pastebin.
[01:06] <emma> Could someone pm me to see if my pms are working?
[01:06] <Mighty_Penguin> ArthurArchnix, i have just created this partition and never mounted it before, but i would like it to be automatically mounted to /stuff
[01:07] <Aoife> Dr_willis, cool, thanks for your help.
[01:07] <Mighty_Penguin> and i looked in fstab, sda1 wasnt in there
[01:07] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: Probably a good idea to paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and the other one I just gave then.
[01:07] <Mighty_Penguin> ok
[01:08] <furythor> Mighty_Penguin atleast I did notice that I can't mount and unmount other disks than those at /media/xxx
[01:08] <emma> Are PMs disabled in #ubuntu?
[01:08] <griffi1> what are PMs ???
[01:08] <ultrawave> PM = private message
[01:08] <emma> Private messages.
[01:08] <bazhang> private messages
[01:08] <ArthurArchnix> emma: Different chat programs don't always get along.
[01:08] <griffi1> thks
[01:09] <furythor> I installed opera and now I can't run java content with it since it crashes every time I try to load one java applet, on other hand firefox works fine
[01:09] <daspah> Is there any way to make the smart quotes in OpenOffice become common plain quotes (single/double quotes)
[01:09] <joobaby> bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58316/, does this tell you anything I'm doing wrong?
[01:09] <ArthurArchnix> dashua: I believe that's in the autocorrect menu.
[01:09] <ArthurArchnix> dashua: >tools >autocorrect >customquotes
[01:09] <Mighty_Penguin> ArthurArchnix, i have a problem with my install.. i cant exactly copy and paste contents..
[01:10] <Mighty_Penguin> it comes out as YY for some reason
[01:10] <okasa> a cron job ive created to automate unision syncing does not work, however it does work when i manually tell it to run through my webmin account on cronjobs, any ideas?
[01:10] <furythor> I installed opera and now I can't run java content with it since it crashes every time I try to load one java applet, on other hand firefox works fine
[01:10] <bazhang> joobaby: could you pastebin your sources list please?
[01:10] <Mighty_Penguin> sorry i'm being such a bother :/
[01:10] <okasa> what do you mean it comes out YY?
[01:10] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: If you're using gnome terminal you need to press Ctrl+Shift+C  or else use the mouse... is that what you mean?
[01:10] <andreaIbex> join #debian-it
[01:10] <kotsu> think:  If I do a lshw I get the following
[01:11] <emma> You have to register your nick on freenode before you can send a PM.

[01:11] <joobaby> :-)
[01:11] <kotsu> Oops.
[01:11] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  did you try and 'sudo modprobe soundcore'?
[01:11] <Mighty_Penguin> ArthurArchnix what would i need to put in fstab?
[01:11] <kotsu> Let me try,.
[01:11] <joobaby> !sources
[01:12] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  really, the init script should load those
[01:12] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: Hardy to say. Can you take a screenshot?
[01:12] <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
[01:12] <Mighty_Penguin> ArthurArchnix yes
[01:12] <kotsu> Well, the command completed successfully.
[01:12] <Mighty_Penguin> hold on
[01:12] <kotsu> But no output.
[01:12] <bazhang> joobaby: just trying to figure out why you are having so many problems; did you use some third party software script to install codecs etc? are you using feisty, gutsy or what version
[01:12] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: Take screenshots of the output of those commands and upload them. I'll find you a link but I thik it's imagebin
[01:12] <joobaby> gutsy
[01:13] <okasa> anybody with experience creating cronjobs, i have a fairly advanced question.
[01:13] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  did any snd modules load?
[01:13] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin:    http://imagebin.org/
[01:13] <cody-somerville> !ask | okasa
[01:13] <ubotu> okasa: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[01:13] <Mighty_Penguin> i usually use tinypic
[01:13] <ArthurArchnix> Sure.
[01:14] <lime4x4> is it possible to run 5 lcd off one ubuntu box?
[01:14] <okasa> :) im trying to setup a cronjob, its executing, but not all my commands for some reason
[01:14] <kotsu> lsmod shows:
[01:14] <joobaby> bazhang, gutsy 7.1, i may have installed some fubar 3rd ware, uninstalling it now

[01:15] <bazhang> joobaby please dont tell me you used automatix; that would just be so awful
[01:15] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  try 'sudo modprobe snd_emu10k1'
[01:15] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  that is a shot in the dark
[01:15] <joobaby> bazhang, no i dont believe so, it was some version of gstream
[01:15] <Dr_willis> lime4x4,  with a bit of work - you could use 5 monitors...  -
[01:15] <faolan> who uses Automatix? I thought the project was discontinued
[01:16] <Dr_willis> faolan,  i could say somthing rude about Automatix users.. :) but i will refrain.
[01:16] <lime4x4> i got 4 to work but the 5th shows a desktop but can't get a mouse pointer to go there
[01:16] <bazhang> faolan: those who dont know better use it
[01:16] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: I also need the cat /etc/fstab   and if you could explain your filesystem that would help too. For instance, why two swap?
[01:16] <Mighty_Penguin> ArthurArchnix can we go into pm?
[01:17] <amenado> okasa paste your crontab entry that is not working
[01:17] <kotsu> Think.. I'm at a loss.  I'll continue to probe, but thanks for hanging in there with me.
[01:17] <daspah> Is there any way to make the smart quotes in OpenOffice become common plain quotes? (single/double quotes)
[01:17] <bazhang> joobaby: try this: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[01:17] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: No... I'm not the smartest guy in here, you're better off out here where others can help too.
[01:18] <ArthurArchnix> daspah: I answered that already. Scroll up. Let me know if it doesn't work.
[01:18] <joobaby> bazhang: okay I did
[01:18] <Mighty_Penguin> ah ok, well i have two swaps, because i did have another system, which i forgot the password to... so i just decided to delete that partition, and use it for something useful
[01:18] <Mighty_Penguin> the second swap is from the swap the other system created
[01:18] <okasa> cronjob that is not working -> * * * * * /home/okasa/test.sh        the script itself runs, but this command does not #!/bin/sh \n  /usr/bin/unison -batch 11-13-Documents
[01:18] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  you either don't have the right stuff in your kernel, which i doubt
[01:18] <Mighty_Penguin> and "cat /etc/fstab/"?
[01:18] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  or a restricted driver may be needed?
[01:18] <kotsu> Possibly.
[01:18] <kotsu> Good call.  Let me check that.
[01:19] <bazhang> joobaby: now in the terminal type this: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit and then paste the url (web address) it gives you here --not the stream of info, only the web address
[01:19] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: In a terminal. Yup
[01:19] <daspah> ArthurArchnix, Have you? Have you said my name: ?
[01:19] <Mighty_Penguin> ok
[01:19] <amenado> okasa is the contents of  test.sh   #!/bin/sh \n  /usr/bin/unison -batch 11-13-Documents   but why you have that \n ?
[01:19] <okasa> thats not actually in the script, i just mean that there's a line break there
[01:19] <ArthurArchnix> daspah: I thought so... uhh..... >tools >autocorrect >customquotes....
[01:19] <daspah> ArthurArchnix, :P
[01:19] <phaedral> think i've got hal problems in gnome; not sure what to do about them
[01:19] <daspah> ArthurArchnix, thank you
[01:20] <drarem> can i send a command to another terminal?  echo 'ls -lh .' > /dev/pts/2
[01:20] <ArthurArchnix> daspah: No worries.
[01:20] <Roooty> Hi, does bash keep a log file so I can lookup output from the past few days?
[01:20] <joobaby> bazhang: http://paste.stgraber.org/1124
[01:20] <thinkpaduser> kotsu:  i think soundblasters use emu10k1 stuff
[01:20] <lime4x4> here is a copy of my xorg file  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58317/
[01:20] <amenado> okasa you can always put a -x option to #!/bin/bash  to put it in debug mode,  and maybe you have to redirect your error and stdout to a file so you can see the output
[01:21] <daspah> ArthurArchnix, Any way to convert? my whole document is with smart
[01:21] <amenado> drarem-> what happens when you tried?
[01:21] <bazhang> joobaby: thanks let me see..
[01:21] <crackhead_25> how does the iphone work with k/ubuntu????
[01:21] <Mighty_Penguin> ArthurArchnix http://i27.tinypic.com/fc1va.jpg
[01:21] <okasa> allright ill give that a shot, the wierd this is that i use webmin which lets me manage my cronjobs in a gui as well, and when i tell it to run the cronjob right now, it runs just fine...
[01:22] <drarem> it echos the text to the other terminal, but that is it.. no enter key is 'pressed' or sent like I would want it
[01:22] <ArthurArchnix> Umm copy a "bad" quote, then click edit find and replace, then type a normal quote, then replace all.
[01:22] <bazhang> joobaby: okay, go into synaptic package manager and disable the cd as a software source, then hit reload/refresh and try to install amarok again
[01:22] <ArthurArchnix> daspah:  Or rather, highlight a bad quote, then edit find/replace

[01:23] <amenado> drarem  \n  is line feed
[01:23] <okasa> i tried both adding the -x and grabbing the output, but no output was caught
[01:23] <drarem> right.. dont think it processes tho
[01:24] <bazhang> joobaby: no, under repositories; you need to go into repositories first and disable the cd as a software source then hit refresh reload and search using the search function
[01:24] <amenado> okasa-> how did you redirect the stderr and stdout?
[01:24] <efren20> i need help syncing music to my 160gb ipod im using banshee nd gtkpod i sync in ethir program and it earsed my songs put didnt put the new ones and i keep trying to sync but nothing help please?
[01:24] <echos> drarem: learn 2 spell 'echoes'
[01:24] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: Looks like /sda3 is your boot and /sda6 is your swap. /sda5 is an unused swap. Which would make /dev/sda1 the partition you wan to put stuff on, correct?
[01:24] <drarem> lol
[01:24] <Mighty_Penguin> yes ArthurArchnix it is
[01:24] <drarem> quit tempting ot

[01:25] <okasa> amenado the file was created, but is empty
[01:25] <orudie> i checked the cd for errors, said no errors found

[01:25] <amenado> okasa also add  2>&1
[01:25] <amenado> okasa what does unison do anyways? if its editing a file, then most likely you will not get an output
[01:26] <joobaby> bazhang: where can I find repositories? sorry for the newbdem.
[01:26] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: Ok. This is the line you want to add to fstab:     /dev/sda1     /stuff     ext3    noatime     0       2
[01:26] <ArthurArchnix>

[01:26] <limp> Hello, I think I might be having issues with NetworkManager (the installed network manager installed on Ubuntu 7.10). It takes a very long time to connect to my wireless (while on windows it instantly connects, so no hardware issues). And after some time it disconnects, and whenever i try to reconnect, it crashes (nothing happends anymore, or the icon just closes). Whenever i try to "Connect to another wireless" it crashes. And it won't connec
[01:26] <limp> t in manual mode. The only way i've been solving this is to reboot my computer for it to refunction correctly. I wonder if this is what has been slowing down my computer lately (its only a month old, but since a few days its slower then my 6 year old computer). Does anyone have an idea of what is happening, and suggestions? Should I install another network manager?
[01:26] <okasa> amenado ments > /home/okasa/LOG 2>$1 ? where will it output the log?  also, unison is basically like rsync, and it does output when run as ./test.sh
[01:27] <Mighty_Penguin> i'm not that new ArthurArchnix, lol
[01:27] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: You might want to make a backup copy :) ok.. sorry.
[01:27] <Mighty_Penguin> but thanks for the info :)
[01:27] <Mighty_Penguin> its cool
[01:27] <amenado> okasa it will spit it out to your /home/okasa/LOG  both stdout and stderr
[01:28] <ArthurArchnix> daspah: Did that work? I only tested it on one quote.
[01:28] <Mighty_Penguin> ok ArthurArchnix i have done that
[01:28] <WhiteNerd> On Xubuntu, how do I change the logo during the startup bar scroll? I'm setting up a very strict workstation that requires it to display the company logo.
[01:28] <ArthurArchnix> Uhh.. ok... so we got our folder, changes to fstab, it's time to reboot and cross the fingers.

[01:29] <ArthurArchnix> daspah: Ah.. yup. That didn't fall under my single quote test.
[01:29] <amenado> limp-> do you have it in roaming mode?  maybe your AP signal (the one you are about to associate is weak) compared to a neighbors..
[01:29] <okasa> amenado still nothing in the log file
[01:29] <joobaby> bazhang: when I reload it gives me an error that one repository index could not be downloaded
[01:29] <amenado> okasa-> chech what unison requires, if it requires a tty or something,
[01:29] <limp> amenado: No, the signal to my wireless is nearly perfect, My neighbors though, is only 20 to 40%.
[01:29] <thinkpaduser> WhiteNerd:  the Xfce splash?
[01:29] <WhiteNerd> On Xubuntu, how do I change the logo during the startup bar scroll? I'm setting up a very strict workstation that requires it to display the company logo.
[01:30] <joobaby> bazhang: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-security/Release: Unable to find expected entry  multivers/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[01:30] <thinkpaduser> WhiteNerd:  or the boot splash?
[01:30] <limp> amenado, though yes it is in roaming mode.
[01:30] <efren20> i need help syncing music to my 160gb ipod im using banshee nd gtkpod i sync in ethir program and it earsed my songs put didnt put the new ones and i keep trying to sync but nothing help please?
[01:30] <bazhang> joobaby: then disable it and try again
[01:30] <amenado> limp then remove it from roaming and see if it makes a difference,  you may have to type in the essid of your AP
[01:31] <bazhang> efren20: what generation
[01:31] <efren20> generation?
[01:31] <orudie> anyone have a clue why my ubuntu setup installer wont work ?
[01:31] <efren20> the newwest one
[01:31] <efren20> 160gb
[01:31] <WhiteNerd> The boot splash ?
[01:31] <efren20> black vidoe
[01:31] <tim_> is the amd64 install image the propper one for a core 2 duo system? and do 64bit repos have all the same packages in gutsy as 32bit ?
[01:31] <efren20> video*
[01:31] <thinkpaduser> WhiteNerd:  that is the usplash theme
[01:31] <Starnestommy> tim_: the packages are mostly the same
[01:31] <thinkpaduser> WhiteNerd:  you can uninstall it with apt
[01:31] <limp> amenado, Yes i have tried. Like I said in my previous message: it just doesn't connect. Right now I am connected with it, but if I idle for a long time the manager will just get stuck
[01:32] <joobaby> bazhang: disabled and reloaded, tried to dl amarok, same problem persists
[01:32] <thinkpaduser> WhiteNerd:  to change it to a company logo will be more difficult as you need to configure a new theme
[01:32] <tim_> Starnestommy: when you say mostly --- i really like obscure packages like r-finance and stuff - is there an automated build thing for these? or just whatever the maintainer chooses to put in for 64 bit
[01:32] <WhiteNerd> Any good tutorials on how to configure a new theme?
[01:32] <bazhang> efren20: you need libgpod 0.6.0
[01:32] <thinkpaduser> WhiteNerd:  try 'sudo apt-cache search usplash' for more themes
[01:32] <efren20> link me pelase?
[01:33] <milosevic> anybody else having problems trying to use artwiz fonts?
[01:33] <efren20> or i get it in pack managaer?

[01:33] <ss> Is there any tutorials on how to install Ubuntu 7.10 with a preinstalled Vista on an NTFS file system?

[01:36] <silas428> what do I need to compile and use an ASUS 167g-usb, with a RALINK 2500 chipset
[01:36] <thinkpaduser> MasterRat:  it might appear as /dev/input/jsx
[01:36] <joobaby> bazhang, I think rhymthbox may be installing......
[01:36] <bazhang> efren20: you need to compile libgpod 0.6.0 for it to work with the newest iPods; instructions can be found at that link, also here--http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod
[01:36] <thinkpaduser> MasterRat:  or /dev/jsx
[01:36] <amenado> limp am going out too now...getting my dinner..maybe im back later
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> efren20: how did you try to sync your ipod w/ gtkpod?
[01:36] <okasa> amenado i dont see any reference to a tty, though it is possible, im not very farmiliar with tty in general
[01:36] <MasterRat> thinkpaduser: it's definitely showin up as /dev/input/js1 currently, but I have seen it on js0 also

[01:38] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: Are you running Ubuntu in VirtualBox?
[01:38] <Mighty_Penguin> no, i'm running Windows in virtualbox
[01:38] <thinkpaduser> MasterRat:  i've never tried that converter.  however, a lot of progs look for /dev/jsx by default
[01:39] <Mighty_Penguin> i only use windows vor mIRC
[01:39] <Mighty_Penguin> for*
[01:39] <thinkpaduser> MasterRat:  you can do a 'sudo lsusb' to see if the device is detected
[01:39] <ArthurArchnix> hmm.. well, glad you got that straightened out with the partition. Here's a link you might be interested in. I'm off to bed.
[01:39] <MasterRat> thinkpaduser: jstest tho allows you to specify the device... currently it shows *all* the buttons/axis of the joypad, but pushing buttons does not get a response

[01:39] <thinkpaduser> MasterRat:  hmmm...
[01:39] <MasterRat> thinkpaduser: and lsusb (Bus 003 Device 006: ID 6666:0667 Prototype product Vendor ID Smart Joy PSX, PS-PC Smart JoyPad)
[01:40] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: For irc? Yeah, that's definitely the copy paste issue.
[01:40] <thinkpaduser> MasterRat:  so it is there just not functioning...
[01:40] <Mighty_Penguin> hrm?
[01:40] <Valpatine> Has anyone used this guide to dual boot vista and ubuntu 7.10? http://apcmag.com/5046/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first
[01:40] <ArthurArchnix> Mighty_Penguin: Reinstall virtualbox guest additions using the latest addons to fix it.
[01:40] <ArthurArchnix> 1.5.2 I think
[01:40] <ArthurArchnix> cya
[01:40] <Mighty_Penguin> i have issues copying in ubuntu to any program in ubuntu
[01:40] <MasterRat> thinkpaduser: yup... it worked once... not sure why it stopped. unplug/replug and dmesg picks it up, but no workie.
[01:40] <bazhang> Valpatine: some have yes; seems to be quite relied upon
[01:40] <thinkpaduser> MasterRat:  dunno then
[01:40] <ArthurArchnix> oh.. alright then... better luck next time
[01:40] <ArthurArchnix> :)
[01:40] <Mighty_Penguin> ArthurArchnix i dont mean to keep you, but i copy just fine through virtualbox

[01:41] <Mighty_Penguin> hwilde, thanks but that is not my problem
[01:41] <bazhang> juice_: check the wine appdb for more on that or ask in #winehq
[01:41] <Jeruvy> I have a wierd problem, my nic will not connect to the router.  Was connecting fine to do an upgrade, then afterwards, the nic is dropping traffic?
[01:42] <thinkpaduser> MasterRat:  is the joydev module loaded?
[01:42] <luis_> guys, I was trying to install the package to be able to play mp3s and it gave me this "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:42] <luis_> "
[01:42] <luis_> what is that>?
[01:42] <pyrak> suggestions for an rss feed aggregator?
[01:42] <hwilde> luis_, run that
[01:42] <hwilde> !rss | pyrak
[01:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rss - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:42] <MasterRat> thinkpaduser: it appears to be loaded into the kernel as I cannot modprobe -r it
[01:42] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  it means it broke half way through installing
[01:42] <luis_> just like that?
[01:42] <juice_> !reason
[01:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about reason - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:42] <bazhang> luis then run the command
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> luis_: where did you get the package?
[01:42] <Starnestommy> luis_: run this in a terminal: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:42] <thinkpaduser> MasterRat:  ok...
[01:42] <luis_> danke

[01:44] <luis_> ok, so I ran that and it told me this "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[01:44] <luis_> " and right after that it just waits for me to give it a new command

[01:44] <bazhang> luis now try again to install what you wanted
[01:44] <Survivorman> liferea is a decent rss reader

[01:46] <bluefoxx> i have to go.
[01:47] <luis_> ok, after all of that it gives me a blue window in which at the bottom there is an "<ok>" what is this?
[01:47]  * IndyGunFreak finds bluefox's part message a bit disturbing...
[01:47] <luis_> it has a grey box
[01:48] <luis_> with blue background
[01:48] <okasa> amenado thanks for all your help, for some reason putting the unison command to -silent (so no output at all) seems to have made the cronjob complete successfully, thanks for your time
[01:48] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  that is the debconf dialog for configuring packages, most likely
[01:48] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  just another way of configuring stuff
[01:48] <luis_> this is what happened last time I tried installing the mp3 package and it didn't work
[01:48] <edward_> there is a software called wordweb for windows is there a similar utility for linux?
[01:49] <thinkpaduser> luis_:  try installing the same package through the Synaptic package installer?
[01:49] <IndyGunFreak> luis_: how exactloy are you installing the package?.. what are you typing?
[01:49] <Jeruvy> edward_: what is wordweb for windows?  What does it do?
[01:50] <luis_> sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse is what I type in
[01:50] <edward_> it almost like a dictionary thesaurus etc
[01:50] <EmmerP> some more people problems with AIGLX the last weeks?
[01:50] <EmmerP> icw ATI
[01:50] <IndyGunFreak> !medibuntu | luis_ can i make a suggestion, add the medibuntu repo to your source list, and follow the instructions
[01:50] <ubotu> luis_ can i make a suggestion, add the medibuntu repo to your source list, and follow the instructions: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[01:51] <Jeruvy> edward_: such things are in the desktop distro already.
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> luis_: medibuntu is much easier after you add the repo.. sudo apt-get install w32codecs, and you have all the windows codecs
[01:51] <edward_> it runs in the system tray an when youre not sure on some word u press the associated shortcut then tyoe some letters from the word you're trying to get and it helps you out
[01:51] <Jeruvy> edward_: see application->accessories->dictionary

[02:01] <hooper82> hey frogzoo, I'm trying to set up some static routes on a ubuntu 6.06 box I've just installed.  I've got the NIC's up and configured with static IPs
[02:02] <edward_> however after install i cant get any display and after a while it complains about low graphic mode but nthing after
[02:02] <WhipsMcGee> I've got version 6 of ubuntu server running and my computer doesn't get an IP address when it boots.  If I type dhclient it gets one and everything is fixed.  Can someone help me get this working so I don't have to run that if the system ever goes down
[02:02] <pdb> Hi, how do i get the ubuntu-xen-server package to show up in my apt-get
[02:02] <pdb> I'm running 7.10 desktop
[02:02] <hooper82> but when I try adding routes, I get - SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
[02:02] <bazhang> edward_: that would be better discussed in #ubuntu+1 thanks
[02:03] <hooper82> any ideas Frogzoo?
[02:03] <nosto> where can i get dvd codecs?
[02:03] <orudie> this 7.10 installer froze my computer so bad, the cd rom wont even eject
[02:04] <Chris|> nosto to play just about any media, i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:04] <Chris|> i can play dvds
[02:04] <Frogzoo> hooper82: you could add a 'up route ... " line in /etc/network/interfaces
[02:04] <WhipsMcGee> anyone have any ideas why my box won't renew a dhcp address when it boots up?
[02:04] <hooper82> orudie, I'm pritty sure the installer locks the CD closed.  just hard-restart the pc and eject it while bios is still loading.
[02:05] <Makuseru> how can i get amarok to play .wav files?
[02:05] <bazhang> orudie: there is clearly an issue with the iso (check md5 sum) or your burn speed; please verify or try the alternate cd--or visit #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[02:05] <nosto> chris, its not working unfortuneately.. i dont know what to do
[02:05] <hooper82> Frogzoo, yes, but if I can't get the standard route command working, i'm guessing there's something wrong with what I'm triyng to do
[02:05] <limp> Would someone please recommend me a good wireless network manager that would be better (or more stable) then the default NetworkManager (still in BETA actually) for gnome? I would appreciate very much, thanks
[02:06] <Frogzoo> hooper82: what command?
[02:06] <Kanuha> How can I remove the drives from my desktop?
[02:06] <bazhang> http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html nosto please read this
[02:06] <IndyGunFreak> Kanuha: actually remove them, or just make it where they don't show on your desktop?
[02:06] <orudie> bazhang: why are you sending me to offtopic when this is a major issue, how could i have messed up in downloading an iso and then burning it, tried it twice with different burning software and the iso's i got from 2 different url's provided by ubuntu.com
[02:07] <Kanuha> IndyGunFreak, just so they won't show on desktop
[02:07] <WhipsMcGee> can anyone here help me out with a problem?
[02:07] <hooper82> Frogzoo: route add -net 192.168.30.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.30.1 eth1 (eth 0 is 192.168.30.1, eth1 is another network, i'm trying to get the data routing between, thats correct right?)
[02:07] <IndyGunFreak> Kanuha: open a terminal, and type "gconf-editor"
[02:07] <bazhang> orudie: have you verified the md5?
[02:07] <Kanuha> IndyGunFreak, ok, got it
[02:07] <IndyGunFreak> Kanuha: once that is open, navigate to apps/nautilus/desktop  and uncheck the appropriate boxes
[02:08] <Kanuha> IndyGunFreak, thx, that worked
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> Kanuha: np, it should work,t hats what its there for..lol
[02:09] <orudie> bazhang: verify md5? dont quite know what you mean by that?
[02:09] <WhipsMcGee> alright, if no one knows how to get dhcp to work on boot can someone help me set a static IP?
[02:09] <bazhang> orudie: scroll up
[02:09] <WhipsMcGee> I've got version 6 of ubuntu server running and my computer doesn't get an IP address when it boots.  If I type dhclient it gets one and everything is fixed.  Can someone help me get this working so I don't have to run that if the system ever goes down

[02:10] <orudie> bazhang: it completed the operation and returned no errors found
[02:10] <bazhang> !md5 > orudie read the pm from the bot

[02:15] <echelon_> hi
[02:15] <m0u5e> where are all the file handler associations stored in ubuntu?
[02:15] <Frogzoo> hooper82: you don't need any extra routes, just need to configure the interfaces & the correct routes will appear
[02:15] <Odd-rationale> echelon_: Have you tried the chatracter map?
[02:15] <echelon_> i'm not going to use the character map for every character i want to type
[02:16] <hooper82> Frogzoo: ubuntu automaticly sets up routes..?  don't you need RIP for that.
[02:16] <Jeruvy> Frogzoo: so if the installer tells you it 'has no route' what do you do?
[02:16] <orudie> bazhang: the tutorial tells to check the .md5 and i have the .iso
[02:16] <limp> echelon_ Not sure, but you have to install the keyboard layout for your language (french I assume?)
[02:16] <Frogzoo> Jeruvy: depends I guess
[02:16] <echelon_> yes, please
[02:16] <Jeruvy> Frogzoo: you need to add  a route...
[02:16] <Frogzoo> hooper82: you need to read up on ip routing
[02:16] <Odd-rationale> MasterRat: I don't know then. Try the command on alt+f2 or in a terminal. See if it works there.
[02:16] <Zoiks> how long does a post take to show up on a mailing list?
[02:16] <bazhang> orudie: okay; and the question is...

[02:22] <PriceChild> Zoiks: I don't believe that one is moderated. If you have subscribed to the ML, it should be pretty instant.
[02:23] <Zoiks> PriceChild: so all i should have to do is email to the list
[02:23] <Jeruvy> hooper82: sure, I'm doing a rebuild atm
[02:23] <hooper82> Coolies

[02:27] <Aloha> PriceChild: it acts like its going to open but doesn't do anything. like its running but no gui
[02:27] <Lowkey> Can anyone help me? My top bar on all my windows is grey, I can't move them nor do I have minimize, maximize, or close.
[02:27] <PriceChild> Aloha: so doesn't give you a prompt?
[02:27] <Aloha> PriceChild: nope
[02:27] <bazhang> Lowkey: running compiz?
[02:27] <PriceChild> Aloha: that's not 'nothing' :P
[02:27] <Lowkey> yes
[02:27] <guandules> g'evening
[02:27] <Aloha> PriceChild: we define nothing differently
[02:28] <Aloha> PriceChild: either scenerio would technically be doing "something"

[02:28] <Lowkey> yeah I can move them now
[02:29] <Lowkey> only on none, not on normal

[02:29] <Lowkey> ok
[02:30] <flowOver> is there a way to play any game cd protected game on linux wihtout using a no cd crack?
[02:30] <PriceChild> Aloha: can't find anything on net to help sorry.
[02:30] <flowOver> through wine
[02:30] <Blin182> hi all
[02:31] <mouseboyx> flowOver, have you tried using dameon tools within wine, just an idea.
[02:31] <Lowkey> bazhang: it didn't work
[02:31] <Aloha> PriceChild: killed all processes and restarted in terminal. i'm getting error messages now. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel(): call to deprecated action.kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel( kacc = 0x823a540 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "display_message"
[02:31] <Blin182> is there anybody from usa/
[02:31] <Fingel> yes
[02:31] <mouseboyx> I am.
[02:31] <Blin182> who is it?
[02:31] <Blin182> from where?
[02:31] <Aloha> PriceChild: works fine when i run in kde
[02:31] <PriceChild> Aloha: I'd assume some helper app isn't running in the background that it needs.
[02:32] <bazhang> Lowkey: you disabled compiz and it was okay then re-enabled compiz with the move windows plug in enabled and same behaviour? what else you have on that system? awn or something else? how much ram
[02:32] <Aloha> PriceChild: is there a utility that lists required helper apps?
[02:32] <PriceChild> Aloha: no idea sorry.
[02:32] <flowOver> nm.  i figured out that if you use the autorun.exe that comes with games, that engages wine's drive detection a little better.  it'll just take some tweaking i think
[02:32] <Aloha> PriceChild: ok thnx anyway
[02:32] <Fingel> emerald made my firefox so slow, anyone else have that problem?
[02:33] <flowOver> i dont
[02:33] <mouseboyx> No, but the title bar sometimes goes blank for me.
[02:33] <Lowkey> bazhang: 512mb ram - nothing but rar unrar and vlc
[02:33] <Fingel> switching between tabs became really laggy
[02:33] <bazhang> Lowkey: and you followed the steps I outlined? that is odd
[02:34] <Fingel> but now I use epiphany and Im not really missing firefox
[02:34] <crimsun_> Fingel: (partially) depends on the video driver
[02:34] <Kumool> hmm how do i set o'o'o together in xchat?
[02:34] <Fingel> crimsun_: Im using nvidia
[02:35] <Lowkey> bazhang: yeah I enabled move windows
[02:35] <preman> Hi ..Iam new in Linux..and now using Ubuntu ver 5.10..Ihave some question..how to connect Linux ubuntu to printer sharing in windows
[02:35] <preman> any one can help??
[02:35] <checkers> hi all, my ubuntu install on my dell inspiron 1501 laptop uses system beeps for all kinds of alerts
[02:36] <mouseboyx> system >prefs > sound system bell checkers if you want to turn it off.
[02:36] <bazhang> Lowkey: how about closing those windows and refreshing the desktop and trying again once you have disabled and re-enabled compiz--how did you disable compiz by the way
[02:37] <Dr_willis> 5.10 -  thats an old one aint it..
[02:37] <Lowkey> under visuals in appearance
[02:38] <elduderino> hello
[02:38] <Blin182> hi duderino
[02:38] <bazhang> Lowkey: alt f2 metacity --replace
[02:38] <Lowkey> eh?
[02:38] <checkers> mouseboyx: bingo, thanks
[02:38] <elduderino> i'm kind of new to linux, and i just installed ubuntu gutsy gibbon on my laptop
[02:39] <MasterRat> this is irritating... every program *sees* the gamepad, but nothing is talking with it :/
[02:39] <elduderino> and everything save for my sound card worked right off the start, so when i tried to install the driver, i noticed that the root filesystem is read only
[02:39] <elduderino> is that normal? i cant really install the sound drivers because i can't write to the file system
[02:39] <mouseboyx> It is read only to every user exept Root
[02:40] <bazhang> Lowkey: type alt f2 (keys) then type in the box metacity --replace
[02:40] <elduderino> i see
[02:40] <mouseboyx> sudo su elduderino  and you will be able to write to it.
[02:40] <Dr_willis> elduderino,  how are you trying to install these 'drivers' ?
[02:40] <MasterRat> mouseboyx: was that to me?
[02:40] <elduderino> well, i tried running the installation with sudo and it didn't work
[02:40] <mouseboyx> MasterRat, What?
[02:40] <elduderino> well, i extracted the drivers and ran the ./install
[02:41] <okasa> elduderino try sudo ./install
[02:41] <MasterRat> mouseboyx: nevermind dyslexied your last statemetn
[02:41] <elduderino> i tried that and it still was giving me nonsense about it being read only
[02:41] <elduderino> let me try it again
[02:41] <Dr_willis> elduderino,  what are these drivers anyway? Normally you dont just install drivers for the sound cards  that way under linux.
[02:41] <elduderino> it's for realtek hd audio
[02:41] <okkay> I started to use ubuntu as desktop operating system, this is great :) i have installed total of 0 drivers and everything works perfectly
[02:41] <elduderino> crappy integrated audio for my laptop
[02:42] <mouseboyx> elduderino, I have the same and it worked without drivers ... hmm.
[02:42] <st3v3dnd> hey all, just tried installing gutsy from a livecd. The live cd loaded fine, the install went great, but when I rebooted I get "missing operating system". /dev/sda1 looks to be where everything is installed, and it has the boot flag, but no go. Any ideas?
[02:43] <okkay> weird
[02:43] <okkay> your hdd is not broken?
[02:43] <mouseboyx> st3v3dnd, this is so broad of what could be wrong.
[02:43] <mouseboyx> Write a boot CD of Super grub and try to boot you OS with it.
[02:44] <okasa> elduderino what probably needs to be done is tell ubuntu what the default audio device is, unfortunately i forget how to do that, but it may be a mix of the alsamixer and the default sound device, try typing alsamixer to a terminal, it should tell you on the top left what audio device you are looking at

[02:44] <henryv67> hello all
[02:45] <elduderino> ok okasa i'll try that
[02:45] <elduderino> great, now terminal isn't coming back up
[02:46] <okasa> elduderino do you click on it and it just sits there for a min and then nothing?
[02:46] <henryv67> hi guys i have a question. I have an ati card. radeon xpress 200m. I've tried all the tutorials and have had no luck with getting video, can anyone help me?
[02:46] <mouseboyx> press ctrl+alt+f1 for a terminal outside of xwindows.
[02:46] <elduderino> yes
[02:46] <mrcalkin> hi, problem from a noob regarding a very old install of pidgin I just can't get to uninstall
[02:46] <brand0co1> whats the difference between konsole and terminal.  running xubuntu here
[02:46] <pestilence> what is the best rss reader?
[02:46] <brand0co1> best rss reader is akregator imo
[02:47] <mouseboyx> mrcalkin have you tried sudo apt-get remove --purge <pidgin>
[02:47] <pestilence> brand0co1: i use akregator.  and it has a really annoying bug:  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146775
[02:47] <mrcalkin> mouseboyx, yes
[02:47] <mrcalkin> it is one of the few programs I manually compiled
[02:47] <pestilence> brand0co1: terminal probably means xterm, konsole is a kde app
[02:47] <mrcalkin> everything i've seen on the forums doesn't seem to work
[02:47] <mouseboyx> Oh,
[02:47] <mrcalkin> I finally tried to sudo -r rm the directory
[02:47] <mrcalkin> and its gone, yet it still opens....
[02:47] <brand0co1> pestilence: so no real difference betwixt the two?
[02:48] <mouseboyx> See where the launcher is pointing to.
[02:48] <mrcalkin> I really want to upgrade past 2.0.0
[02:48] <snypzz> how do I find my ip with ubuntu
[02:48] <pestilence> brand0co1: well, xterm is pretty basic...konsole is more feature-rich
[02:48] <mouseboyx> ifconfig snypzz
[02:48] <snypzz> how do I find my ip with ubuntu ???
[02:48] <Starnestommy> snypzz: ifconfig
[02:48] <pestilence> brand0co1: but if all you want is a bash shell, xterm will do the job.
[02:48] <snypzz> thanks
[02:48] <jsav> anyone here have atlantik?
[02:48] <snypzz> in the terminal right???
[02:48] <Starnestommy> snypzz: yes
[02:48] <mouseboyx> yes
[02:49] <mouseboyx> That will find your internal ip, if you are behind a router.
[02:49] <pestilence> mrcalkin: type which pidgin in a terminal
[02:49] <brand0co1> pestilence: weird ive never had that problem with akregator.  idk maybe you want to try the google reader app.  other than that i have no other decent experiences
[02:49] <elduderino> i'll be back
[02:49] <mrcalkin> it pops out /usr/local/bin/pidgin
[02:49] <pestilence> mrcalkin: so remove that ;)
[02:49] <mrcalkin> ok
[02:49] <mrcalkin> awesome :D
[02:49] <pestilence> make sure it's not a symlink first
[02:49] <mouseboyx> r/m /usr/local/bin/pidgin ?
[02:49] <mrcalkin> pestilence, how can i check
[02:50] <pestilence> ln -ls /usr/local/bin/pidgin
[02:50] <pestilence> a symlink will show up with ->
[02:50] <westxx> ..
[02:50] <pestilence> upps
[02:50] <pestilence> ls -ltr /usr/local/bin/pidgin
[02:50] <pestilence> haha
[02:50] <pestilence> if it wasn't a symlink before, it may be now :-D
[02:50] <mouseboyx> cat /usr/local/bin/pidgin
[02:50] <elduderino> i tried runnign it with sudo, no luck
[02:50] <krammer> I cannot figure why my workspace is not working
[02:51] <elduderino> how do i run alsamixer
[02:51] <okasa> elduderino do you have a terminal window?
[02:51] <brand0co1> if my automount inst mounting correctly for certain usb drives, shall i edit fstab or delete certain entries?
[02:51] <mrcalkin> i think it might be a symlink now pestilenc
[02:51] <snypzz> trying to get to a microsoft pc
[02:51] <mrcalkin> pestilence lol
[02:51] <mrcalkin> hmm
[02:51] <pestilence> mrcalkin: so just rm it
[02:51] <snypzz> I see it but not able to connect
[02:51] <elduderino> well the terminal window isn't loading anymore for some reason
[02:51] <snypzz> help
[02:51] <elduderino> so i just went with ctrl+alt+f1
[02:51] <mouseboyx> elduderino, press ctrl+alt+f1
[02:51] <snypzz> tcpip
[02:51] <mouseboyx> then ctrl+alt+f7
[02:51] <elduderino> yea i just tried that
[02:52] <mrcalkin> awesome
[02:52] <mouseboyx> What happend?
[02:52] <Starnestommy> snypzz: are you using wireless?
[02:52] <mrcalkin> thanks a lot pestilence
[02:52] <pestilence> np
[02:52] <mrcalkin> and mouseboyx
[02:52] <mouseboyx> exec ls
[02:52] <elduderino> now when i try to run sound from the system prefs, that doesnt load either
[02:53] <elduderino> it just shows the 'starting sound' on the bottom task bar and then never comes up
[02:53] <okasa> elduderino http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide go to that site and do what it says to "disable composite extension" but use the commands: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf    and then    sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add the "Extensions" section it shows on the website, let me know if this is confusing, and you will need to ctrl+alt+f1 to do this again
[02:54] <PureEvilGeek> whats the next version of ubuntu being worked on?
[02:54] <Frogzoo> !hardy
[02:54] <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
[02:54] <okasa> 8.04 i think
[02:54] <elduderino> ok i will try it okasa
[02:54] <PureEvilGeek> sweet thanks
[02:56] <elduderino> i gotta go check my laundry bbiaf
[02:57] <snypzz> anyone out there using xp / linux network???
[02:58] <mouseboyx> yes.
[02:58] <elduderino> hey okasa is there a way i can copy and paste from the desktop to the terminal
[02:58] <elduderino> when not using the terminal window
[02:58] <elduderino> because that's a lot to add
[02:58] <snypzz> I am trying to get to my XP box over the network I see it but unable to connect to shared folders
[02:59] <snypzz> linux to XP
[02:59] <snypzz> ubuntu 7.10
[02:59] <krammer> I cannot figure why my workspace is not working
[02:59] <okasa> elduderino its only the 3 lines, and normally you can but you can NOT if you are going from desktop to the single user (ctrl+alt+f1) because you cant use the mouse, sorry
[02:59] <danbhfive> snypzz: linux to xp, or xp to linux?
[02:59] <ozzloy> how do i force sound to come out on the headphone jack only instead of the laptop speakers?
[03:00] <snypzz> : linux to xp
[03:00] <mouseboyx> snypzz
[03:00] <pestilence> ozzloy: that should be the default behavior when you plug in headphones
[03:01] <mouseboyx> use proftp as a last resort
[03:01] <snypzz> yes???
[03:01] <ozzloy> pestilence: well that's not what's happening right now
[03:01] <ozzloy> sound is coming out of both the speakers and the headphones
[03:01] <mouseboyx> type smb://ipofwindowsmachine in a nautilus window
[03:02] <snypzz>  smb://ipofwindowsmachine
[03:02] <elduderino> i'm going too restart my pc
[03:02] <elduderino> i'll be back
[03:02] <mouseboyx> smb:// ip of windows machine ie . 192.168.2.3

[03:06] <Ertain> Hello everyone.  My version of Firefox keeps making my X server freeze up.  Any ideas?
[03:06] <Ertain> My version is the most up to date for Gutsy.
[03:06] <RedHeron> Stwange: You do have a point.
[03:07] <ozzloy> killing everything, restarting.  brb
[03:07] <mouseboyx> Ertain does it freeze when displaying flash videos?
[03:07] <blag> WhoaItsPhil: should be something like /usr/share/icons
[03:07] <griffi1> can someone explain me why I keep getting, "configure: error: Package requirements (pygtk-2.0 >= 2.8.0) were not met" when I install awn-curve, even though I have installed python-gtk2 and python-gtk2-dev ?
[03:07] <WhoaItsPhil> thanks blag

[03:17] <sarixe> Frogzoo : that's not my goal.  i need to ultimately be able to format the card in the camera.  it doesn't seem to be mounted, or bound to any /dev device
[03:17] <efren20> can anyone help me syncing a ipod
[03:17] <bazhang> efren20: you need to compile libgpod 0.6.0 for that
[03:17] <efren20> i did
[03:17] <sarixe> bazhang : how do you know what ipod he has?
[03:17] <one_matthias> hi everubody, drivers for ati mobility radeon x1400 ...

[03:18] <joeamined> hi
[03:18] <joeamined> is
[03:18] <joeamined> is splashy working on gutsy ?
[03:19] <mosibfu> mathmoi, the most common reason for that could be: it prefers xorg.conf settings over gnome/xfce settings
[03:19] <joeamined> because i can't get it working
[03:19] <Stwange> WhoaItsPhil, try cp Gnome-Lila/* /usr/share/icons/
[03:19] <usser> lobogris: that's in europe, similar enough :P
[03:19] <[1]flaccid> if i want to mount an 82  Linux swap / Solaris fs, what fstype do i put in fstab ?
[03:19] <efren20> can anyone hep me sycning my ipod i sync the music and it dosent work =(....
[03:19] <mathmoi> mosibfu: Well, I changed it there too with no luck. It's like there is some kind of auto-detection.
[03:19] <Jdaniels> hi, after setting up java runtime environment i somehow broke my browsers and get this error: INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the plugin manager, any help?
[03:20] <joeamined> anyone is using or used splashy in gutsy please ?
[03:20] <bazhang> sarixe: because he told me earlier
[03:20] <sarixe> bazhang : ah, gotcha
[03:21] <WhoaItsPhil> stwange, it still wont work...now it says cp: omitting directory 'Lila-Gnome/scalable'
[03:21] <WhoaItsPhil> and it didn't copy anything
[03:21] <efren20> can anyone hep me sycning my ipod i sync the music and it dosent work =(....
[03:21] <usser> WhoaItsPhil: try cp -R
[03:21] <cnStarz> how do i remedy overscan on my hdtv?
[03:22] <cnStarz> i looked in nvidia-settings but found nothing
[03:22] <Stwange> WhoaItsPhil, if you don't like the command line you can always use sudo graphically - alt + f2 and type "gksu nautilus", then use that to copy things
[03:22] <morphiend> efren20: what are you using?
[03:22] <sarixe> usser, WhoaItsPhil : cp -r
[03:22] <WhoaItsPhil> aha that worked...what exactly did the -r do?
[03:22] <usser> sarixe: you can use -R
[03:22] <sarixe> ah, didn't know that
[03:22] <Stwange> WhoaItsPhil, recursively
[03:22] <WhoaItsPhil> ah thanks stwange, didn't know i could sudo in the gui
[03:22] <sarixe> learn something new every day, i guess
[03:22] <usser> WhoaItsPhil: tells it to copy recursively including all the folders and files inside them
[03:23] <Fryguy--> should probably user -a so permissions get maintained correctly
[03:23] <efren20> morphiend:ok i tryed banshee still haviung problems gtkpod still having problems amarok still having problems when i sync it sycns cmplete but i eject asnd songs not there
[03:23] <morphiend> efren20: which ipod version?
[03:23] <efren20> i have the 160 black video
[03:23] <Stwange> no worries WhoaItsPhil. You can use gksu <anything> from alt-f2, or from the terminal "sudo nautilus" would have worked
[03:23] <efren20> 160gb black video
[03:24] <efren20> version number is a1238
[03:24] <Jdaniels> hi, after setting up java runtime environment i somehow broke my browsers and get this error: INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the plugin manager, any help?
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> efren20: i have to admit, thats quite a mistery to me, cuz mine all work fine.
[03:24] <efren20> you have the 160 gb?
[03:24] <morphiend> efren20: how did you setup the ipod? did you plug it into a windows box (or format it as a windows ipod from a Mac) first?
[03:24] <MECU> Hi. Is there a way to save my current setup? Like all the programs I have open on each Desk?
[03:25] <danbhfive> Jdaniels: have you tried removing java?
[03:25] <WhoaItsPhil> now that command with the -r worked...but it didn't copy the folder...it just copied the files in Lila-Gnome to the new destination, but not the folder with it...
[03:25] <efren20> i had it installed in this pc before i sinstalled ubuntu i had it on windows xp itunes
[03:25] <icesword> gpedit.msc
[03:25] <Jdaniels> danbhfive: yeah I've removed what I can several times.
[03:25] <Stwange> WhoaItsPhil, cp -R Gnome-Lila /usr/share/icons/
[03:26] <danbhfive> Jdaniels: maybe you can reinstall firefox
[03:26] <WhoaItsPhil> ok thanks
[03:26] <Jdaniels> danbhfive: also i've reinstalled it a couple times, relinked in.
[03:26] <Jdaniels> danbhfive: yeah did that too... a llot.
[03:26] <morphiend> efren20: I'm guessing you can play songs off it with no problem, correct?
[03:26] <efren20> yes
[03:27] <morphiend> anyone know why my mouse interactions would fall off the current window and into the next, if the cursor moved faster than the window refreshed.
[03:27] <danbhfive> Jdaniels: did you remove with --purge?
[03:27] <icesword> !purge
[03:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about purge - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:27] <Jdaniels> danbhfive: no! please elaborate, i dont know how to do that.
[03:27] <morphiend> Like if you're resizing and you drag real fast, all of the sudden the mouse is highlighting text in firefox because that's the next place the cursor got to before the window was able to resize
[03:27] <danbhfive> Jdaniels: sudo apt-get remove --purge whatever
[03:27] <morphiend> efren20: good at least its being read from
[03:28] <djwonk> I don't understand the difference between using "tzselect" and "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata"

[03:28] <jamesrdorn> If anyone has a sec to help me. I am having a problem where the network utility is not saving my WPA key. if I open the network utility, add my key and click ok... everything works fine, but if the interface goes down (by reboot) I have to add the key again.
[03:28] <icesword> danbhfive, why purge
[03:28] <Jdaniels> danbhfive: okay so that has me wondering how do I figure out what to put in for <whatever>
[03:28] <morphiend> efren20: how do you eject the ipod?
[03:28] <efren20> morphiend: but when i eject i have no songs cant hear them only when i connect to pc and i eject in the eject button
[03:28] <jamesrdorn> it's saving a hash from the key in /etc/network/interfaces
[03:28] <danbhfive> icesword: Jdaniels --purge will remove configuration files also, which might kill your bookmarks etc
[03:29] <szx0> Is it possible to connect to two different shares on the same server with two different account credentials at the exact same time via SMB?
[03:29] <morphiend> efren20: so when you plug the ipod in you get the pretty ipod icon on your desktop, and to eject, you right-click that icon and choose eject?
[03:29] <Ububegin> Is there a way to hide the folders in the desktop...
[03:29] <Jdaniels> danbhfive: i'll try it. any idea what whatever's value would be for java runtime environment?
[03:30] <morphiend> efren20: or have you been using the eject from amarok/banshee
[03:30] <Jdaniels> danbhive: or a way to see all my installed packages?
[03:30] <morphiend> Ububegin: rename them to start with a '.'
[03:30] <efren20> no i eject from the media player when it takes ipod off i go to the desktop then eject there also
[03:30] <danbhfive> Jdaniels: you don't remember what you installed?
[03:31] <morphiend> efren20: I will say I've run into issues using banshee and adding files to my ipod. I've moved to using gtkpod
[03:31] <djwonk> to answer my own question: "tzselect only gives you a view of the time at a particular timezone. to change the timezone use "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" instead" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320442
[03:31] <efren20> gtkpod does samething
[03:31] <morphiend> I had an issue where I would drag the files from my library in banshee to the ipod and then check the ipod library in banshee, and no files were there.
[03:31] <Ububegin> morphiend: Oh, Sweet dude... wat bout those mounted drives... they dont seem to be renamable
[03:31] <juice_> so i just recompiled wine so i could play call of duty but now steam wont launch.. anyone?
[03:31] <efren20> morphiend: and when it finish snc it says flushing to dik
[03:32] <morphiend> Do your songs ever show up in banshee under the ipod?
[03:32] <one_matthias> nobody have prolems with driver for ati x1400 graphics card ...
[03:32] <morphiend> efren20: are you songs actually mp3's? or did you use the default ripping methods? ubuntu defaults to ogg format and the ipod cannot play those files.
[03:33] <sfears> hello.. looking for some help networking a windows machine thru crossover cable & eth0 while connected to the net via wireless card on wlan2.. any ideas? i can only seem to get one at a time to work requireing a restart each time i make a change to the network settings
[03:33] <efren20> morphiend:yes they show up under the ipod and yes there mp3 files
[03:33] <morphiend> can you play them from the ipod in banshee?
[03:33] <simps> Hello all. I am trying to setup Samba so I can view files on my windows from ubuntu. Right now, I can see files on Ubuntu from windows. On ubuntu, i can only see the windows computer, but when i try to access it under the Network folder, it says that the files cannot be displayed.
[03:33] <efren20> yes
[03:35] <efren20> what do you suggest morphiend
[03:35] <Jdaniels> danbhfive: not precisely what it would be called package wise, no. also, when I run --purge i get: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:35] <Jdaniels> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:35] <Jdaniels> helllo?
[03:35] <Jdaniels> hello?
[03:35] <jamesrdorn> If anyone has a sec to help me. I am having a problem where the network utility is not saving my WPA key. if I open the network utility, add my key and click ok... everything works fine, but if the interface goes down (by reboot) I have to add the key again. it's saving a hash from the key in /etc/network/interfaces
[03:35] <one_matthias> graphics drivers
[03:35] <morphiend> efren20: ok... then the files should be on the ipod if you are able to play them from the ipod. Now the question is whether or not the db is getting updated. Have you updated the firmware on your ipod lately?
[03:35] <Starnestommy> Jdaniels: is the package manager open?
[03:36] <danbhfive> Jdaniels: are you running synaptic? or update manager?
[03:36] <Jdaniels> um synaptic, yes
[03:36] <efren20> nop
[03:36] <Starnestommy> Jdaniels: close it then try that command again
[03:36] <efren20> how i do that?
[03:36] <danbhfive> Jdaniels: you have to close those, only one can be open at a time
[03:36] <Jdaniels> danthanks

[03:39] <morphiend> Hardy Heron Alpha
[03:39] <efren20> in package mangaer?
[03:39] <Jdaniels> danbhfive: the purge worked this time.
[03:39] <insta> is it worth asking for IRC help if i'm running hardy?
[03:39] <Ububegin> efren20: Alpha: Untested and first edition of a software
[03:39] <Starnestommy> insta: #ubuntu+1 is usualyl the best place to ask about hardy
[03:40] <bazhang> sure insta just in #ubuntu+1
[03:40] <dnusim> Ubuntu freezes whenever I unplug the power chord... any ideas?
[03:40] <efren20> morphiend:where do i get it in package manger?
[03:40] <Daisuke_Ido> dnusim: i'm hoping you're on a laptop, because otherwise you're going to get laughed at
[03:40] <bpd1069> heh
[03:40] <dnusim> Daisuke_Ido: =)
[03:41] <Jdaniels> danbhfive: whats the best way for reinstalling firefox?
[03:41] <blag> that doesnt look promising
[03:41] <blag> or maybe im just a pessimist
[03:41] <jamesrdorn> Daisuke_Ido, LMFAO
[03:41] <silver> hi
[03:41] <morphiend> efren20: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron is the link to the wiki about hardy
[03:41] <Stwange> how do you find out processor etc. stats from the terminal?
[03:42] <morphiend> as with Alpha software, your mileage will greatly very
[03:42] <Fryguy--> Stwange: look at /proc/cpuinfo
[03:42] <bazhang> Stwange: lshw
[03:42] <RyanPrior> Hardy is awesome, especially if you like finding bugs. :-)
[03:42] <Stwange> thanks :)
[03:42] <Daisuke_Ido> seriously though, it's got to be power management settings, i just don't know much about them
[03:42] <mneptok> Stwange: cat /dev/proc/cpuinfo
[03:42] <morphiend> you may want to check the backports for gutsy to see if libgpod has been backported (or request the backport)
[03:42] <mneptok> 89 threghioear eghqa
[03:42] <sfears> hello.. looking for some help networking a windows machine thru crossover cable & eth0 while connected to the net via wireless card on wlan2.. any ideas? i can only seem to get one at a time to work requireing a restart each time i make a change to the network settings
[03:43] <Ububegin> ....anyone knoes how to make the mounted drives hideable :?.... nobody knoes the answer
[03:43] <prem> no
[03:43] <Fryguy--> Ububegin: hideable where?
[03:43] <efren20> morphiend:i dont know how to check backport etc.. donnt even know what you are talking about please help me?
[03:43] <mneptok> Ububegin: "hide-able?"
[03:43] <jamesrdorn> model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q6600  @ 2.40GHz mmmm
[03:43] <cnStarz> anyone nkow how to stop my tv from overscanning?
[03:43] <RyanPrior> Ububegin: Do you mean you don't want them to show up on your desktop?
[03:43] <prem> what is terminal
[03:44] <Starnestommy> prem: Applications > Accessories > Terminal?
[03:44] <Ububegin> Fryguy: I mean the mounted drives on the desktop... I want them them to be hideable...
[03:44] <Fryguy--> Ububegin: gconf and edit apps->nautilus->desktop and uncheck "volumes visible"
[03:44] <Newbuntu2> anyone know how to fix:  checking for XML_ParserCreate in -lexpat... no
[03:44] <Newbuntu2> configure: error: Could not find the Expat library
[03:44] <RyanPrior> prem: Terminal is a command-line for the graphical environment.
[03:44] <morphiend> backports is when a newer version of a package is brought into an older release. Here's the link to enabling access to the backport's repository: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[03:44] <danbhfive> Jdaniels: I would think sudo apt-get install firefox       maybe add a --reinstall
[03:44] <Fryguy--> Newbuntu2: install the expat dev library
[03:44] <RyanPrior> Ububegin: You can do that with gconf-editor
[03:44] <eshaase> why does 'vi' take so long to load when i execute it in a screen session as opposed to outside of screen?
[03:45] <jamesrdorn> eshaase, because 'screen' is to put it nicely... buggy
[03:45] <Fryguy--> eshaase: mine opens up at the same speed wherever I open it (although my vim setup is very customized).  Try running it without opening up any configs (see manpage), to see if that helps, and you can track down the problem from there
[03:45] <efren20> morphiend:can you explain it to me tell me what to do i understand better like that please/
[03:45] <sfears> hello.. looking for some help networking a windows machine thru crossover cable & eth0 while connected to the net via wireless card on wlan2.. any ideas? i can only seem to get one at a time to work requireing a restart each time i make a change to the network settings
[03:46] <Fryguy--> sfears: linux supports this just fine, the gnome network manager tool, however, will not
[03:46] <jamesrdorn> sfears, are both interfaces on the same subnet?
[03:46] <RyanPrior> Ububegin: The setting is apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible
[03:46] <Newbuntu2> Fryguy--: thanks!
[03:46] <Fryguy--> sfears: you'll need to use ifconfig, ifup, and /etc/network/interfaces manually to do this, or just connect everything in your network to the same network segment
[03:46] <sfears> not sure.. i guess that's what i need help with.. should they be on the same subnet?
[03:47] <Fryguy--> Newbuntu2: the package is probably libexpat1-dev, although i'm guessing
[03:47] <Fryguy--> sfears: no
[03:47] <efren20> \morphiend:can you explain it to me tell me what to do i understand better like that please/
[03:47] <morphiend> efren20: I can save you the trouble right now and tell you that it has not been backport'd to gutsy
[03:47] <sfears> network segment Fryguy-- ?
[03:47] <sfears> alright.. separate subnet masks.. check
[03:47] <Ububegin> RyanPrior,FryGuy: I tried gconf in the terminal (but command not found) and i tried searching Applications- > (but cant find nautilus)...
[03:47] <Newbuntu2> Fryguy--: that was it... but now I get   checking whether libcurl is usable... no
[03:47] <Newbuntu2> configure: error: libcurl is needed but not found
[03:47] <Fryguy--> sfears: i mean reconfigure the physical network, so that you don't have 2 separate networks to deal with in ubuntu, which none of the gui tools are going to support
[03:47] <bazhang> efren20: you need to compile it; no backports for that
[03:47] <Newbuntu2> Fryguy--: I install libcurl3, but not enough...
[03:47] <morphiend> If you would like that capability, I recommend reading the backports link I sent earlier and it will tell you (roughly) how to ask for something to be backported.
[03:48] <RyanPrior> Ububegin: You can type nautilus to search for it in gconf-editor/apps
[03:48] <sfears> how do i start that Fryguy-- ?
[03:48] <Fryguy--> Ububegin: it's gconf-editor
[03:48] <efren20> bazhang:can you help me and guide me throught compile in it
[03:48] <prem> what is best media player for ubuntu
[03:48] <Fryguy--> Newbuntu2: you need dev versions of packages if you are compiling source
[03:48] <bazhang> efren20: have you ever compiled anything before?
[03:48] <sfears> i have the network settings window open.. i see both my wired connected & wireless connection are enabled
[03:48] <efren20> no
[03:48] <bazhang> hmm
[03:48] <Fryguy--> prem: mplayer probably, or one of it's derivatives (I personally use smplayer)
[03:48] <efren20> bazhang:but please man
[03:48] <morphiend> otherwise, you need to either install the Alpha (which I don't know how to do off the top of my head) or compile the library from source
[03:48] <Jdaniels> dabhfive: if wanted to rmdir /firefox how would I go about that effectively? in one quick command?
[03:49] <sfears> the wired connection has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.. the wireless connection is on auto.. no subnet mask shown
[03:49] <dnusim> Daisuke_Ido: thanks for a good laugh. I'm gonna try some more things with the power managements...
[03:49] <Fryguy--> sfears: the subnet mask by itself is meaningless
[03:50] <Ububegin> RyanPrior,FryGuy : Awesome shit dudes... Thanks, now my wallpapers of that bikini girls looks great (without all that cluttering).... :D
[03:50] <efren20> bazhang:is that a yes or no please man help me =/
[03:50] <eshaase> Fryguy--: removing my .vimrc didn't help
[03:50] <Wayfarer> Hmmmm
[03:50] <Wayfarer> no sound in Gutsy
[03:51] <Fryguy--> eshaase: there's more to running configuration-less than removing your .vimrc
[03:51] <RyanPrior> Ububegin: The no-icon desktop is nice. :-)
[03:51] <Fryguy--> eshaase: like I said take a look at the manpage for the command-line flag that will tell vim to ignore all configs
[03:51] <danbhfive> Jdaniels: after you have done whatever, you may want to run this for good measure: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^               and dont forget the ^,   I gota run, later
[03:51] <Newbuntu2> anyone know how to fix this:  checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.2.0... no
[03:51] <Newbuntu2> *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
[03:51] <Newbuntu2> *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
[03:51] <Newbuntu2> *** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
[03:51] <Newbuntu2> configure: error: needs GTK+ 2.2.0
[03:51] <FloodBot1> Newbuntu2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:52] <Fryguy--> Newbuntu2: install dev version of libgtk  (what are you compiling btw)
[03:52] <nickrud> Newbuntu2: install libgtk2.0-dev
[03:52] <deeproot> if i watch a movie using any player when i'm done i'm disconnected from the internet? any ideas
[03:52] <Ububegin> RyanPrior: yeah, all that cluttering ... gets a bit pain in the ass sometimes....
[03:52] <Johnson> hey guys my window borders have just dissappeared
[03:52] <Starnestommy> Newbuntu2: install libgtk2.0 and libgtk2.0-dev
[03:52] <Johnson> how do i get them bac,
[03:52] <Fryguy--> Johnson: probably hit alt-g2 and run metacity
[03:52] <lolwutpear> this probably an extremely dumb question.  i apologize in advance.  but im trying to copy some files from a cd.  ive put the cd in the drive but i cant see the files on the disk
[03:52] <nickrud> Johnson: compiz?  gtk-window-decorator --replace
[03:52] <bazhang> efren20: this is not really an irc type thing--you just paste the commands into the terminal and that does it for you--the link is here--> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=658523
[03:53] <Johnson> alright ill try those
[03:53] <Fryguy--> lolwutpear: it'll be in /media somewhere (probably /media/cdrom)
[03:53] <sfears> would the loopback interface be causing any problems using the two different netowrk cards?
[03:53] <Ububegin> lolwutpear: CD prob screwed up
[03:53] <silas428> is there an upgrade to evolution that allows you to download images from your e-mail?
[03:53] <limp> I have questions about switching to KDE, will someone help me answer them?
[03:53] <Fryguy--> lolwutpear: you'll probably have to either mount it, or make nautilus do it for you by navigating to "computer" and then double clicking on the appropriate drive
[03:53] <lolwutpear> well, i just installed ubuntu from the cd
[03:53] <Newbuntu2> Fryguy--: Viking, it's GPS softwawre
[03:53] <pyrak> recommendations for open source project management software?
[03:53] <pyrak> (web-based, for collaboration)
[03:53] <Fryguy--> pyrak: trac
[03:53] <Ububegin> pyrak: trac
[03:53] <Fryguy--> I BEAT YOU
[03:54] <Fryguy--> :)
[03:54] <lolwutpear> i went to /media/cdrom
[03:54] <Ububegin> :D .. my prev company also used it
[03:54] <lolwutpear> did an ls, but saw nothing :/
[03:54] <Newbuntu2> Fryguy--: http://viking.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
[03:54] <Fryguy--> lolwutpear: like i said, you'll either have to mount it, or have nautilus do it for you (see previous statement)
[03:55] <Fryguy--> limp: just ask questions, don't ask to ask
[03:55] <Johnson> nickrud
[03:55] <Johnson> it works but wheneveri close terminal i lose them again
[03:55] <Fryguy--> limp: btw, there is a wiki page with everything you need to know about switching a  base ubuntu install to different "levels" of kde
[03:55] <nickrud> Johnson: sorry, should have said alt-f2 gtk-window-decorator --replace
[03:55] <mike9682000> evening! I cannot see or mount any of my secondary IDE devices in Nautilus. Could anyone help?
[03:56] <simps> Hello all. I am trying to setup Samba so I can view files on my windows from ubuntu. Right now, I can see files on Ubuntu from windows. On ubuntu, i can only see the windows computer, but when i try to access it under the Network folder, it says that the files cannot be displayed.
[03:56] <Fryguy--> limp: googling "install kde on ubuntu" should give you everything you need to know in the first 5 hits
[03:56] <limp> Fryguy, well not really
[03:56] <Fryguy--> limp: so ask a question then
[03:56] <bazhang> limp: you want kde? just install kubuntu-desktop
[03:56] <limp> Fryguy, i was just wondering what would happen to my gnome programs if i switch to KDE
[03:56] <Fryguy--> limp: nothing
[03:56] <Fryguy--> they'll still be there and work just fine
[03:56] <bazhang> limp they will still be there
[03:57] <nickrud> ditto
[03:57] <Johnson> nickrud, thanks
[03:57] <limp> Fryguy, still work fine...? then can i run KDE programs on gnome? what's the whole difference, layout ?
[03:57] <Fryguy--> limp: yes
[03:58] <Fryguy--> limp: KDE and GNOME are just 2 different base environments to work from. They provide a comprehensive set of tools that function 'as one', if you will.  They also each use different gui libraries (qt for kde, gtk for gnome, which will cause some visual differences if they are run side by side)
[03:58] <mike9682000> evening! I cannot see or mount any of my secondary IDE devices in Nautilus. Could anyone help?
[03:58] <regeya> aye, kde apps work fine under gnome, and gnome apps under kde.  right now I'm running kde, but also running compiz-fusion, awn, firefox, and quod libet.
[03:58] <Fryguy--> mike9682000: wanna be a bit more specific?
[03:59] <nickrud> mike9682000: do you see them with  sudo fdisk -l ?
[03:59] <limp> Fryguy, oh and while im at it, what wireless program do you suggest..? i just tried out network selector and wifi radar but none of them work... they just wont connect to any of my wifis. I've already searched the net
[03:59] <Fryguy--> limp: I don't run linux on a machine that uses wireless, all of my machines with wireless are either running osx, freebsd, or windows
[03:59] <Fryguy--> actually wait, none of them are on freebsd anymore either
[03:59] <mcspiff> question, I had a repo in apt.sources list. I installed some packages from this. Ive now removed and want to downgrade to the packages from the repos currently in my apt.sources. Is this possible/Does it make sense?
[04:00] <mike9682000> Ubuntu loads from a SATA; I gave two IDE hard drives with 3 partitions each. Nautilus does not see the HDD on secondary IDE. Does that answer your Q?
[04:00] <Fryguy--> mcspiff: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade should take care of them
[04:00] <alex_> iam lost
[04:00] <alex_> alguien parla en castellano, jajajaj ??
[04:00] <axisys> i am failing to install acroread http://rafb.net/p/JHpnjd39.html
[04:01] <mike9682000> fryguy: Ubuntu loads from a SATA; I gave two IDE hard drives with 3 partitions each. Nautilus does not see the HDD on secondary IDE. Does that answer your Q?
[04:01] <efren20> is there any drawing program where you draw something and could make it live like walk fire etc...
[04:01] <limp> Fryguy, Ok. Do you know anything about the gstreamer plugin bad? Can't find it and i'd really want the equalizer on exaile
[04:01] <Fryguy--> mike9682000: so you don't have an hdc device, but you have an hda device?
[04:01] <axisys> how do I force it?
[04:01] <axisys> sudo apt-get install -f did not help
[04:01] <Starnestommy> alex_: try #ubuntu-es ?
[04:01] <Fryguy--> limp: uh not really
[04:01] <bazhang> alex spanish? /j #ubuntu-es
[04:01] <nickrud> axisys: do you know exactly what packages you got?
[04:01] <axisys> acroread
[04:01] <limp> Fryguy, ok =) how do i revert to gnome if KDE doesn't please me?
[04:01] <axisys> nickrud: acroread
[04:02] <Fryguy--> limp: again, plenty of directions on the internet for that, but just pick the gnome session in whatever login manager you are using
[04:02] <Starnestommy> limp: just change the default session type in gdm/kdm
[04:02] <nickrud> axisys: argh, wrong guy. I haven't run acroread since evince started working right
[04:02] <Fryguy--> i don't even run acrobat reader on windows...
[04:02] <cowo_ganteng> .dal.net
[04:02] <limp> Fryguy, you can choose between Gnome or KDE before logging in?
[04:02] <Fryguy--> limp: yes
[04:02] <mike9682000> fryguy: in fstab I have: /dev/sda1 /dev/sda5 /dev/hdb .dev/hda (hdb and hda are the CDROMs) and /dev/floppy
[04:03] <axisys> nickrud: well is it really acroread that is the problem? i thought it is dpkg that is failing to overwrite? no?
[04:03] <efren20> is there any drawing program where you draw something and could make it live like walk fire etc...
[04:03] <mike9682000> fryguy I also have a second SATA
[04:03] <Fryguy--> mike9682000: so you have neither of your IDE hard rives?
[04:03] <mcspiff> Fryguy--: no go
[04:03] <limp> Fryguy, awesome. I'll stop nagging u guys with my rediculous questions now =) thanks again =)
[04:03] <mike9682000> I have the primary only and the two SATAs
[04:03] <mike9682000> I cannot mount the secondary
[04:04] <nickrud> axisys: yes, that's what happening.  Could you give me the output of apt-cache policy for each of acroread-plugins mozilla-acroread acroread and acroreader-enu ?
[04:04] <Fryguy--> mike9682000: you just said you had 2 cdrom drives, and didn't list any ide hard disk drives, so i'm a bit confused now, if you could clarify that would be great
[04:04] <nickrud> mcspiff: do you know exactly what packages you got from the other repo?
[04:05] <mcspiff> nickrud: yup
[04:05] <mike9682000> My computer has: 2x SATA, 2X IDE, 2X CDROM and one floppy The IDEs are connected to the primary master and primary slave, the CDROMs to secondary master and secondary slave respectively
[04:06] <axisys> nickrud: here u go http://rafb.net/p/2HH3TC28.html
[04:06] <bazhang> only one floppy? ;]
[04:06] <Fryguy--> mike9682000: either your primary ide controller is on a different interface than your secondary controller, or it's disabled in bios, because if it were enabled, your cd drives would be hdc and hdd, not hda and hdb
[04:06] <Fryguy--> regardless of whether it found the drives on the controller or not
[04:07] <nickrud> mcspiff: you need to find each of those in synaptic , and use package->force version on each. Once you've done that, you shouldn't have any issues
[04:07] <axisys> nickrud: was it for me too?
[04:07] <nickrud> axisys: where'd you get acroreader-unu from?
[04:07] <mcspiff> nickrud: sounds good. Still seems weirdest to me that you cant force apt to do a "use newest version in repo even if they're older"
[04:07] <nickrud> -enu*
[04:08] <nickrud> mcspiff: it goes by version number, not date
[04:08] <ghost> i need help after compiling a kernel. how do I make an initrd image so i can boot from grub?
[04:08] <axisys> nickrud: i was just reading this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy
[04:08]  * Fryguy-- has never compiled a kernel from scratch in ubuntu so i can't help you there
[04:09] <mcspiff> nickrud: well, this issue im having is the version installed has a higher version that the one in the repo. Same arguement, wrong term.
[04:09] <efren20> is there any drawing program where you draw something and could make it live like walk fire etc...
[04:09] <axisys> nickrud: so that means media ubuntu
[04:09] <Fryguy--> efren20: are you referring to something specific?
[04:09] <nickrud> !kernel | ghost (this has instructions on initramfs iirc)
[04:09] <ubotu> ghost (this has instructions on initramfs iirc): 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
[04:09] <Fryguy--> efren20: sounds like the draw fire plugin from compiz that you saw on a youtube video :)
[04:10] <n8tuser> efren20--> if you are an advanced blender user, you can do those animations
[04:10] <kamodo> hey
[04:10] <mike9682000> fryguy: /dev/disk/by-id DOES see the secondary IDE label
[04:10] <axisys> nickrud: if i can remove it I can start over those steps
[04:10] <axisys> nickrud: must have screwed some step there
[04:10] <nickrud> axisys: yes, that's what I was about to suggest
[04:10] <axisys> nickrud: :-)
[04:10] <mike9682000> furthermore I can work with all in Vista
[04:11] <l33t1st> !ghost
[04:11] <ubotu> On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password>
[04:11] <joeytwiddle> (15:35:24) [+Ghostness] imo i have no opinions
[04:11] <kamodo> quick question... im a bit of a ubuntu newb, but just wanna know: how do i set my refresh rate to 60 at boot time for gnome desktop (beascially, booting works, but once i get into ubuntu w/ gui, all i see is lines
[04:11] <axisys> nickrud: so how do I remove it?
[04:11] <nickrud> axisys: sudo apt-get remove --purge acroreader-enu
[04:11] <axisys> nickrud: wait let me try to remove.. not sure if I tried that.. i only tried to overwrite
[04:12] <dn4> I just put in an older gfx card, b/c my old one broke. How do I update my xorg.cfg to use the new one?
[04:13] <Fryguy--> axisys: you probably want to use dpkg directly
[04:13] <nickrud> dn4: a quicky would be sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg
[04:13] <Fryguy--> dn4: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to make the correct changes :)
[04:13] <mike9682000>  fryguy: /dev/disk/by-id DOES see the secondary IDE label
[04:13] <nickrud> Fryguy--: once it's in the dpkg database, apt-get will remove it
[04:13] <Fryguy--> nickrud: he doesn't want to remove it though, he wants to force reinstall the version from current repository
[04:13] <kamodo> No idea: lemme rephrase, how do i edit xorg.conf at command line?
[04:13] <Fryguy--> or so i thought
[04:14] <axisys> nickrud: worked
[04:14] <Fryguy--> kamodo: open it up with a text editor..
[04:14] <axisys> nickrud: thnx .... oohooo!!
[04:14] <Fryguy--> vim works
[04:14] <nickrud> Fryguy--: he's got that from somewhere else, needs to replace it with the medibuntu stuff
[04:14] <kamodo> theres a command line text editor?
[04:14] <Fryguy--> so does emacs, and at least a few others
[04:14] <Fryguy--> kamodo: there's several
[04:14] <Starnestommy> kamodo: vim, nano, emacs, ed, sed, and some others
[04:14] <Fryguy--> lol sed :)
[04:14] <Fryguy--> that's pushing it a bit
[04:14] <nickrud> hex
[04:14] <Starnestommy> ed and sed are very minimalistic
[04:14] <axisys> nickrud: take it back.. said too soon
[04:15]  * nickrud has forgotten the name of the hex editor ;(
[04:15] <dn4> damn all the text on my screen is blue now
[04:15] <kamodo> ty, vim worked by default install thanks
[04:15] <dn4> my gfx card is wack on crack
[04:15] <nickrud> dn4: what kind of card is it?
[04:15] <dn4> nickrud: voodoo3 gfx
[04:15] <Fryguy--> hahaha kamodo just opened up vim and doesn't know how to use it, this should be interesting
[04:15] <axisys> nickrud: i ran this `sudo aptitude install acroread acroread-plugins acroread-escript
[04:15]  * Fryguy-- waits for the "wtf i can't type text" statement to come
[04:16] <axisys> nickrud: and I get this http://rafb.net/p/uIEbB166.html
[04:16] <nickrud> dn4: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg will do it, had one of those once
[04:16] <axisys> nickrud: looks like it did try to install the plugin before core app ..duh!
[04:17] <kamodo> heh, vim should be fine, its not hard to find documentation on it once i can get it open
[04:17] <Fryguy--> i use vim 8+ hours a day at work :)
[04:17] <nickrud> axisys: those are some screwed up packages it looks like. Try just installing acroread by itself first
[04:18] <orionfyre> Where can I find a tutorial on how to add a command to the right click context menu of AVI files?
[04:18] <dn4> nickrud: what do I do after typing in that command?
[04:18] <Fryguy--> orionfyre: what specifically do you want to do?
[04:18] <nickrud> dn4: restart X, that should set you up with a default video
[04:18] <axisys> nickrud: thats what I have trying now
[04:19] <hdevalence> I have had a problem with wine (this bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10674 ). It says it's been fixed upstream (upream of X i think). How would I get the upstream version?
[04:19] <orionfyre> fryguy: I want to add a command that will runa  mencoder command line
[04:19] <dn4> nickrud: thanks
[04:19] <Fryguy--> orionfyre: check out nautilus scripts (google that should get you a good base)
[04:19] <Fryguy--> g-scripts probably already has a solution for that (g-scripts.sourceforce.net)
[04:20] <kamodo> wow... so vim isnt just as easy as write the info, and save :/ lol (checking out a command sheet) welll.. thats fun
[04:20] <Fryguy--> kamodo: :)
[04:20] <orionfyre> fryguy: __/|\__ thank you for showing me the first step on the path to my continued enlightenment that is Linux ;)
[04:20] <vALIEN> hey everyone... i got gutsy running smooth, never used wine...wondering if it is worth getting.. any opinions?
[04:20] <hdevalence> kamodo: it's way 1337er though
[04:20] <nickrud> hdevalence: if you're talking about a later version of X , you'd have to compile it or use hardy
[04:20] <Fryguy--> kamodo: vim is extremely powerful and fast after you get used to the way it does things
[04:20] <axisys> nickrud: check this when I try to remove it says its not there.. when I try to install it says dpkg error
[04:20] <Fryguy--> kamodo: like I said, I use it 8+ hours a day as my programming environment of choice
[04:20] <kamodo> well, i just need to set vertfrefresh from 43-60 to 60
[04:20] <hdevalence> nickrud: what version of X does hardy use?
[04:20] <Fryguy--> hdevalence: #ubuntu+1
[04:21] <hdevalence> Fryguy--: thanks
[04:21] <nickrud> axisys: complete output of the error please. (although I have no Idea why I'm working on a non-free piece of software from medibuntu)
[04:21] <kamodo> yeah, im a windows 2k guy... (dont laugh, im slowly making the switch
[04:21] <Fryguy--> kamodo: ironically i'm switching away from linux :)
[04:21] <kamodo> okay, i scrolled down, and replaced the text.. will that work with vim?
[04:22] <kamodo> just gotta save, sorry if im being too annoying, hah, im glad you guys are friendly here
[04:22] <tritium> Fryguy--: why would you want to do a thing like that?
[04:22] <Fryguy--> tritium: switching to freebsd :/
[04:22] <axisys> nickrud: i thought i pasted the complete output.. it seems to be dpkg issue.. could happend to any app..
[04:22] <kamodo> http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/vimcheat.html
[04:22] <tritium> Fryguy--: ah, really?
[04:22] <kamodo> is the command line text editor command cheat sheet.
[04:22] <kamodo> not very friendly
[04:22] <nickrud> axisys: the complete error from sudo apt-get install acroread
[04:22] <axisys> nickrud: here is the paste http://rafb.net/p/v40QJh80.html
[04:23] <Fryguy--> tritium: yah, been playing with it in a virtual machine, and I got a new 8-disk raid array coming for my closet-server (media storage for the house), and i'm probably going to switch the OS on it to freebsd and go from there
[04:23] <Fryguy--> kamodo: you can use nano or something for now, which will be easier for you to get started with
[04:23] <Fryguy--> nano is installed by default i think
[04:23] <nickrud> axisys: are you sure you ran apt-get remove --purge acroreader-enu ?
[04:23] <vALIEN> hey sorry ... just asked about wine.. anyone have any opinions?
[04:23] <mrpockets> how do you add more desktops in compiz?
[04:23] <axisys> nickrud: yes.. it says that pkg not found
[04:24] <axisys> nickrud: pasting
[04:24] <nhlinux> I'm having a fustrating time with my lappty that has a bcm43xx wifi adapter. The following error message appears in dmesg "bcm43xx: IRQ_READY timeout" then my wifi stops working. What can I try to resolve this problem.
[04:24] <dn4ia> nickrud, thank you for helping me out there. I have no acquired a way to see visuals which are changing subtle colors and makes for a psychedelic experience on a whole.
[04:24] <Odd-rationale> mrpockets: Do you have compizconfig-settings-manager?
[04:24] <mrpockets> yeah
[04:24] <mrpockets> its in general options
[04:24] <mrpockets> thanks :)
[04:24] <kamodo> hmmm, wow.. im gonna try nano
[04:24] <kamodo> hope i didnt break anything :P, i live i learn
[04:24] <axisys> nickrud: http://rafb.net/p/eF660m14.html
[04:24] <nickrud> dn4ia: heh
[04:24] <Fryguy--> kamodo: don't really feel like holding your hand through the initial vim struggles :)
[04:25] <nhlinux>  uname -a
[04:25] <nhlinux> Linux dperry-laptop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:25] <Kumool> if i take out the ubuntu uninstaller does the windows boot or grub goes away? at least with the win option
[04:25] <Odd-rationale> Can pidgin minimize to tray on exit?
[04:25] <kamodo> yeah, i just need something easy, and something i dont need to pester ppl with too much
[04:25] <kamodo> ahh, Nano is something i can work with
[04:26] <nickrud> axisys: DoH!  adobereader-enu , what do they call reading something you expect but not there?
[04:26] <vALIEN> surprise
[04:26] <axisys> nickrud: lol!
[04:27] <axisys> nickrud: removing...
[04:27] <ShadowApex> Hey I'm trying to migrate my Ubuntu home server to another computer. The new computer has a raid array. If I just copy the entire contents of my previous installation onto a new installation on the raided hard drives... will that work?
[04:27] <axisys> nickrud: removed..
[04:27] <Fryguy--> ShadowApex: probably not
[04:27] <nickrud> axisys: now try the install again
[04:27] <axisys> nickrud: lets try acroread again?!
[04:27] <axisys> nickrud: heh
[04:27] <Fryguy--> ShadowApex: there's a certain amount of hurdle jumping involved in booting from a raid array
[04:27] <nhlinux> ShadowApex: it should sorta work. How are you going to transfer the data from one drive to the RAID array?
[04:27] <axisys> nickrud: and....(drum roll)... success!!
[04:28] <nickrud> axisys: once again, pebcak ;)
[04:28] <axisys> nickrud: hehe
[04:28] <Kumool> Odd-rationale, there shud be a pidgin icon in the sys tray just click it there
[04:28] <ShadowApex> nhlinux: it has 1 ide channel so I was going to hook it up, mount them both from a live cd and transfer
[04:28] <nhlinux> are you going to dd from one drive to the other?
[04:28] <axisys> nickrud: i cannot beleive u helped me with non-free pkg... (i am just teasing you my friend)
[04:29] <ShadowApex> Fryguy: it's hardware raid, not fake raid. my new installation of Ubuntu on the new server boots flawlessly with RAID5
[04:29] <ShadowApex> nhlinux: dd?
[04:29] <Odd-rationale> Kumool: Yeah, but when i close my conversation window it does not minize to tray.
[04:29] <Fryguy--> i'm surprised hardware raid works directly out of the box as well, but OK
[04:29] <nhlinux> dd is a UNIX command to copy raw data from device to another
[04:29] <Fryguy--> ShadowApex: shouldn't have any problems then
[04:29] <nhlinux> it's like ghost
[04:29] <ShadowApex> Fryguy: hmm... I guess the worst that could happen is that I just reinstall
[04:30] <Fryguy--> Odd-rationale: if you want to minimize to tray, click the minimize button, if you want to close click the close button....
[04:30] <ShadowApex> nhlinux: ahh... i was just going to cp -r /media/hda1
[04:30] <Fryguy--> ShadowApex: definitely don't do that :)
[04:30] <Kumool> Odd-rationale, the conv window the main window u mean or the conv window that holds conversations
[04:30] <nhlinux> example... dd if=/dev/hdc of=/dev/sda
[04:30] <Kumool> ?
[04:31] <nhlinux> In that example, I just imaged the old drive to my RAID array
[04:31] <Odd-rationale> Kumool: The one that holds the conversation. The main window goes to tray, I beleive
[04:31] <ShadowApex> Fryguy/nhlinux: Could I just use gparted and cpoy the entire partition to the raid array?
[04:31] <nhlinux> nope
[04:31] <nhlinux> gparted won't do that
[04:32] <ShadowApex> nhlinux: why? When I run "fdisk -l" I see the entire RAID array as 1 hard drive
[04:32] <Kumool> Odd-rationale, i dont think that can be done unless u use an app such as all-tray tho i cud be wrong
[04:32] <nhlinux> if you want to replicate the contents of the original drive (including the boot sector and partition table) to your RAID array, dd is the command to use.
[04:33] <Fryguy--> fdisk/gparted/etc are for managing partitions on a single disk, they don't have any support for migrating a partition from one disk to another
[04:33] <Odd-rationale> Kumool: OK. Thanks!
[04:33] <kamodo> another question about xorg.conf    IS VertRefresh == Refresh Rate?
[04:33] <ShadowApex> Fryguy: You can copy partitions to another disk in gparted
[04:33] <nickrud> kamodo: there's vertical refresh and horizontal sync
[04:33] <talcite> does anyone know a lot about the AIGLX or XGL bases?
[04:33] <Fryguy--> kamodo: vertical refresh rate, yes
[04:33] <talcite> are they supported or necessary?
[04:33] <kamodo> awesome, thanks
[04:33] <nhlinux> I've never seen that featyre before
[04:34] <ShadowApex> nhlinux: ok, so if I use dd; what would be the syntax to that? Say my RAID array is /dev/sda1 and my old hdd is /dev/hda1
[04:34] <talcite> I'm using compiz and FSAA 8x...
[04:35] <nhlinux> dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda (if you want to copy from sector 0 to the very last sector of /dev/hda, the first drive).
[04:35] <nickrud> talcite: one or the other is required for compiz ...
[04:35] <ShadowApex> nhlinux: ok thanks. I'll go ahead and try that now
[04:35] <ShadowApex> I'll let you know if it works ;D
[04:36] <talcite> nickrud: I have an nvidia card... am I using AIGLX?
[04:36] <kamodo> INPUT SIGNAL  	Video  	RGB analog (75 ohms, 0.7 Vp-p); DVI-D (TMDS, 100 ohms)
[04:36] <kamodo> Sync 	H/V separated (TTL), composite, sync-on-green
[04:36] <kamodo> Frequency 	Fh: 30~82kHz, Fv: 50~75Hz
[04:36] <nickrud> talcite: yes
[04:36] <talcite> I see
[04:36] <kamodo> oops wrong channel
[04:36] <talcite> hmm I need to find another way to increase performance
[04:36] <talcite> any ideas?
[04:36] <nhlinux> ShadowApex: /sbin/dumpe2fs works as well.
[04:36] <nickrud> talcite: reduce FSAA . Otherwise, I know little to nothing about nvidia
[04:37] <talcite> =/ aww
[04:37] <nickrud> talcite: or maybe 800x600 ;)
[04:37] <talcite> -_-'
[04:37] <talcite> LCD lol, no choice
[04:38] <Kumool> if i take out the ubuntu uninstaller does the windows boot or grub goes away? at least with the win option?
[04:38] <gnychis> does Gutsy come with any PPoE connection software?
[04:38] <talcite> yeah, I'm already using only 8x FSAA, not 16x like I wanted =/
[04:38] <nhlinux> Kumool: I'm a bit confused by that question. Please restate
[04:38] <Odd-rationale> Kumool: Are you talking about wubi?
[04:39] <Fryguy--> exit
[04:39] <Fryguy--> blah wrong window :(
[04:39] <nickrud> gnychis: I used to use pppoeconf , and pon poff . But then I got smart and let the modem handle it, I would configure at 192.168.1.254 (or whatever the modem/router address was)
[04:39] <talcite> maybe I should buy an 8800gt =P
[04:40] <hectorj1> hola
[04:40] <luckyshot> hey guys, for some reasonw hen i boot into xubuntu it wont go into startx anymore, even after i manually enter "startx"
[04:40] <Kumool> yeah i installed wubi from the cd and now everytime i start windows the uninstaller of it comes up and asks if i want to make a backup of ubuntu or w/e... if i uninstall it does the grub function to select boot windows gets erased?
[04:40] <hdevalence> is there a way to install xorg7.3 in gutsy?
[04:41] <kamodo> Okay, so I set my HorizSync/VertRefresh to the specifications on my monitor, and now I'm getting signal out of range.
[04:41] <kamodo> didnt change resolution info
[04:41] <acxty> Hi, I want to connect a datashow on my computer but the FN key for the video output doesn't work is there a way to activate the lcd and monitor output
[04:42] <Odd-rationale> Kumool: To my knowledge, wubi does not use grub, I could be wrong, though...
[04:42] <Kumool> k since i installed wubi first and then xubuntu i tho it wud b that well ok thx im barely using win if anythin goes wrong
[04:43] <talcite> hey when using compiz, do you guys get a situation where the windows won't stop wobbling?
[04:43] <phynix> that sounds really weird
[04:43] <Kumool> does it shake or wobble?
[04:43] <Kumool> talcite, does it shake or wobble?
[04:44] <acxty> I am trying to activate the CRT output on my laptop, anyone?
[04:44] <talcite> shake I guess
[04:44] <talcite> what's the difference Kumool?
[04:45] <amenado> acxty-> isnt there like a Fn key to activate both?
[04:45] <Kumool> well on som old monitors when it shakes it means that theres a phone around or something... but since its with that app specifically i dunno
[04:45] <talcite> ohh, no it's an LCD
[04:45] <acxty> amenado, the problem is that the FN Key doesn't work
[04:45] <Odd-rationale> talcite: Is it mostly a maximized window or a window near the edges or panels?
[04:45] <talcite> yes, its a maximized window
[04:46] <amenado> acxty-> you have a bad key on your keyboard? or you need to activate that in your bios?
[04:46] <talcite> Odd-rationale: Does it have to do with the edge attraction?
[04:46] <acxty> on windows it works fine
[04:46] <Odd-rationale> talcite: I think so...
[04:46] <acxty> and the other FN Keys also work fine, except that one
[04:46] <t0mb0y> does anyone know where i can look to find out why when i do a sudo su, it does not ask the user for a password.  /etc/sudoers doesnt have anything uncommented to allow no passwd.
[04:46] <Odd-rationale> talcite: It gets quite annoying...
[04:46] <brandonc503> hey all using ubuntu fawn and dont know how to get monitor to go to larger resolution. selections are only 800 600, but im sure monitor can do 1600 1200....
[04:46] <talcite> it does
[04:47] <talcite> do you have any ideas about what settings work well to avoid it?
[04:47] <brandonc503> friend had me edit file before and got 1600 1200 but now that wont work
[04:47] <luckyshot> hey guys, for some reason when i boot into xubuntu it wont go into startx anymore, even after i manually enter "startx"
[04:47] <nhlinux> bcm43xx: IRQ_READY timeout, then my wireless craps out. Is there a fix for Ubuntu 7.10?
[04:47] <phynix> talcite: do you mean compiz settings
[04:47] <talcite> phynix: yes
[04:47] <Ninesvnsicks> lol Kamodo can't get the refresh rate to work :(
[04:48] <phynix> talcite: friction idd it for me
[04:48] <Odd-rationale> talcite: Do you have snapping windows enbaled?
[04:48] <talcite> phynix: what did you set it to?
[04:48] <phynix> well if you turn it higher
[04:48] <talcite> Odd-rationale: I do. It's actually very hard to work without snapping =/
[04:48] <phynix> they wobble less
[04:49] <talcite> I see...
[04:49] <talcite> hmm
[04:49] <vampirefrog> hi. I'm trying to fix my debian installation with ubuntu. so I don't write the iso to a cd, I'm using vmware to boot ubuntu from windows. I also set vmware up to use the physical hard drive. however, I can't see any /dev/hda* from within ubuntu
[04:49] <vampirefrog> i tried modprobe ide-disk, but that didn't work
[04:49] <phynix> i found that out by accident when i was scrolling through and it made it really low and i couldn't click on a window
[04:49] <LSD|Ninja> How do you define a Key1+Key2 shortcut in the keyboard shortcut editor? Pressin Win and L (for Lock Screen) puts in "Super L" which allows it to be triggered just by pressing the Win key
[04:50] <Fryguy--> vampirefrog: see if /dev/sda exists, you might have SATA disks instead of ide
[04:50] <vampirefrog> yes it seems to be there. let me try to mount it
[04:50] <BerkeleyLinuxUse> what's up room?
[04:50] <BerkeleyLinuxUse> how's it going today in linux landia?
[04:50] <vampirefrog> Fryguy--: yeah, that worked. thanks :)
[04:50] <LSD|Ninja> Fryguy--: or ATA disks operating as SCSI for some reason ;)
[04:51] <Fryguy--> LSD|Ninja: whatever, it's a virtual machine, i've seen it do weirder things
[04:51] <Frogzoo> LSD|Ninja: try 'alt a' for instance
[04:51] <phynix> talcite: did that help at all
[04:51] <Frogzoo> LSD|Ninja: Ctrl+Alt+A etc.
[04:52] <LSD|Ninja> Frogzoo: I kinda want Win+L because that's how it's done in Windows
[04:52] <Darkmystere> err i have the new ati drivers with AIGLX how do i use Compiz-Fusion says no composite..
[04:52] <Darkmystere> when i try and enable compiz.
[04:53] <talcite> phynix: not really, if the friction gets too high, it becomes impossible to drag the windows =/
[04:53] <talcite> sorry
[04:53] <talcite> thanks for trying though
[04:53] <phynix> anytime
[04:54] <vampirefrog> ok now I chroot'ed into my linux hard-drive root partition, and I'm trying to reinstall grub but if I call 'grub-install /dev/sda' it says "/dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.", and if I try 'grub-install /dev/hda' it says "Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub \n The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly."
[04:54] <phynix> talcit: what happens if you turn off wobbly windows
[04:55] <phynix> talcite: what happens if you turn off wobbly windows
[04:55] <Newbuntu2> I'm trying to record video and audio from a PVR card. I can record it via VideoLan, etc, but I was wondering if there was a better tool that would also timestamp and such so I can synchronize the different streams together
[04:55] <vampirefrog> basically I need grub installed on /dev/hda (which is now /dev/sda) :)
[04:55] <prettyricky> Hey guys can I connect my external hard drive to my ubuntu machine without anything getting lost
[04:55] <Odd-rationale> prettyricky: Most of the time, yes
[04:56] <prettyricky> have you tried it by any chance?
[04:56] <danakin> prettyricky: ive done it with my seagate 400g, no probs
[04:56] <Odd-rationale> prettyricky: Yes I have, ntfs fat32 and ext3
[04:56] <Darkmystere> Also, Does anyone here remeber how i got sound working in Ubuntu..?
[04:57] <kamodo> okay, im still stuck, anyone know what the command for boot line is for setting refresh rate to 60? i used refresh_rate=60 in the livecd boot options and it worked fine
[04:57] <prettyricky> ok great thanks guys!
[04:58] <Odd-rationale> prettyricky: In theory, it should work just fine, but don't blame me if something screws up ;)
[04:58] <prettyricky> thank you. I wouldn't
[04:58] <nickrud> prettyricky: just be sure to eject every partition on the external if you have more than one :)
[04:59] <prettyricky> ok
[05:00] <trentlott> quit

[05:04] <luckyshot> hey guys i improperly shut my pc down and now when i boot up it wont go into xwindows. im stuck in command mode. do you think if i boot up from the cd i can fix it?
[05:04] <IdleOne> Some_Person, you can turn off trackerd in the system prefs IIRC
[05:04] <nickrud> IdleOne: heh. After building all the gnome 1.9 releases, evolution, rhythmbox (not to count all the times I compiled libc)  I got my fill.
[05:04] <Some_Person> IdleOne: What about my disappearing disk space?
[05:04] <bfrog> why are there like a million -dev packages
[05:04] <bfrog> header files must add like what, 10k to each install
[05:04] <Some_Person> IdleOne: I was at 0bytes free when I just got on here
[05:05] <Flannel> bfrog: because people do development with packages as well as just using them
[05:05] <nickrud> bazhang: yeah, yeah, I try to avoid having mixed packages and unmanaged files.
[05:05] <IdleOne> Some_Person, take a look and see what is in that space that was not there before and see if it belongs there
[05:05] <talcite> hmm... is there a way to get the window to slide, but not wobble?
[05:05] <Some_Person> IdleOne: had to clean stuff up just to make Firefox run correctly
[05:05] <bfrog> Flannel: dude, I don't want to have to install 10000 -dev packages just to develop some software
[05:05] <Starnestommy> Some_Person: do you have any swap?  Also, what programs are using the most memory?
[05:05] <Some_Person> IdleOne: how do i tell? and how do i turn off trackerd?
[05:05] <bazhang> nickrud: hehe just thought I would throw that out there ;]
[05:05] <Some_Person> Starnestommy: i have a swap
[05:05] <bfrog> why must ubuntu follow the debian silliness
[05:05] <yao_ziyuan> it seems to me that many programs in ubuntu's repository are very outdated
[05:05] <Starnestommy> bfrog: because it's based on debian

[05:06] <Some_Person> Starnestommy: as for most memory, trackerd was until i killed it
[05:06] <Flannel> bfrog: You don't have to install 10000 -dev packages.  You don't need most of them, if any, to develop software

[05:06] <bazhang> nickrud: nice! ;]
[05:06] <bfrog> Fryguy--: yeah, not with other saner packaging schemes
[05:06] <Some_Person> IdleOne: what is trackerd anyway?

[05:09] <amenado> who was that -- that mentioned improperly dismounting external drive by turning it off without EJECT, and next time it is plugged in, ubuntu refuses because it was not cleanly unmounted before? how you fix it then?
[05:10] <igoens> Pegoretti: I'll make personal chat
[05:10] <atonalpanic> pricechild, igoens: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58341/
[05:10] <Pegoretti> ok
[05:10] <nickrud> amenado: ntfs? boot it into windows a couple times.
[05:10] <PriceChild> atonalpanic: pretty confident that works out of hte box with gutsy.
[05:10] <amenado> nickrud-> ext3 drive..or any fs format for that matter?
[05:10] <PriceChild> atonalpanic: you may need to system > admin > restricted driver manager, to add the binary driver

[05:11] <PriceChild> atonalpanic: you may need to system > admin > restricted driver manager, to add the binary driver

[05:12] <Some_Person> IdleOne: well i'll be darned. i found the trackerd files, 5.2 GB worth of shit
[05:12] <atonalpanic> pricechild: in restricted it says "Artheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL) its enabled and in use.  but all i have are wire connections and modem...no wireless in netowrk manager

[05:14] <Jorje> Hi..
[05:14] <phax> I am using the Gutsy distro, but there is a newer version of HPLIP for the Hardy distro would it mess things up if I install the package with deps for hardy ?
[05:14] <Jorje> Anyone there for help?
[05:14] <PriceChild> Lasivian: network-manager-gnome does that
[05:15] <PriceChild> !hardy | phax
[05:15] <ubotu> phax: 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
[05:15] <Fryguy--> phax: yes probably
[05:15] <PriceChild> Lasivian: its a little applet near the clock
[05:15] <zero88> WOW Please help. Anyone Here at all familiar with MENCODER?
[05:15] <nickrud> phax: almost certainy
[05:15] <Some_Person> IdleOne: appearently im not the only one with this issue
[05:15] <Lasivian> PriceChild: huh, maybe i'm an idiot, the only thing I saw was it asking me to put in the network details
[05:15] <Lasivian> i'm using an orinoco card if that makes a difference
[05:15] <PriceChild> Lasivian: http://weblog.topopardo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/nmapplet.png

[05:17] <Ethernal_Chaos> nickrud, I know its dark btw and #freenode has 1 op..
[05:17] <PriceChild> atonalpanic: are you sure you have turned it on with whatever hardware switch?
[05:17] <nickrud> Ethernal_Chaos: they're probably not oped
[05:17] <atonalpanic> pricechild: im 3 days into linux, im not really sure of anything.
[05:17] <igoens> 0c45:624f Microdia Webcam <-- works with gspca driver but no /dev/video0 = "What's the problem?"
[05:18] <PriceChild> atonalpanic: not linux.... a physical switch on the laptop
[05:18] <atonalpanic> ohh yeah it doesn't have a switch

[05:18] <khaotik_> could anyone give me a link to get my wireless fixed on a compaq presario c700. its weird the fw cutter is installed, the little blu light turned on, but there is no connection or not even one network showing when there should be at least six. this is really putting a damper in my plot to load Ubuntu on every machine and take over the worl.
[05:18] <nickrud> phax: you can compile it, but I use ubuntu so I don't have to compile. You could ask for more help on #ubuntu+1 about the hardy hplip, I may be being overly cautious.
[05:18] <atonalpanic> pricechild: how do i find the network manager?
[05:18] <khaotik_> world
[05:18] <eltopo> fun
[05:18] <PriceChild> atonalpanic: i use a 5005 abd all internet reports seem to make it the same
[05:19] <PriceChild> atonalpanic: it won't help, your card isn't yet listed in iwconfig

[05:19] <furythor> ok
[05:19] <Fryguy--> Kumool: unrar works, fine
[05:19] <nickrud> phax: once an ubuntu release is made, it only gets security or serious bug fixes (like ones that lose data)
[05:20] <khaotik_> could anyone give me a link to get my wireless fixed on a compaq presario c700. its weird the fw cutter is installed, the little blu light turned on, but there is no connection or not even one network showing when there should be at least six. this is really putting a damper in my plot to load Ubuntu on every machine and take over the world.
[05:20] <Odd-rationale> furythor: Also, be sure that the scripts are executable.
[05:20] <atonalpanic> pricechild: it never worked not even before i started messin with it.  i had that nasty problem of sound coming out of both speakers and headphones...my coworkers were not happy about me listening to rap music
[05:20] <nickrud> phax: that's why they have a very aggressive release policy of every 6 months
[05:20] <Kumool> it fails on extracting
[05:20] <Fryguy--> Kumool: works fine for me
[05:20] <phax> nickrud, ok makes sense but what about drivers which are not present in the distro
[05:21] <phax> nickrud, they should be installed manually ?
[05:21] <amenado> Jorje you have an hp laptop but using which os?
[05:21] <atonalpanic> pricechild: recently i tried installing madwifi but it gave an error on file "apt pci"
[05:21] <nickrud> phax: we wait. Or, compile. I broke a personal rule tonight, compiling software :)

[05:22] <brandonc503> can you tell me what to type , im ubun-nub
[05:22] <ttotally> can't i just tell it where to install?
[05:22] <nickrud>      /ignore IdleOne ;P
[05:22] <prettyricky> is it possible to add more space to my partitioned drive, I only alloted 10 gig when I installed ubuntu and I need more....
[05:22] <IdleOne>       /kb nickrud you should of known better :P
[05:22] <Starnestommy> ttotally: make sure the main partition has / as a mount point
[05:22] <amenado> ttotally-> what option did you choose during install?
[05:22] <PriceChild> ttotally: yes, choose manual partitioning, then allocate a root partition (for all your data) signified by: / and a swap partition.
[05:23] <atonalpanic> pricechild: possible, but the furthest i got was making the install file before it fail.  for me it didn't work straight out.  i have vista on this comp...so u can see why im desperate to get my wireless card working on linux lol
[05:23] <PriceChild> !ot | IdleOne

[05:23] <Odd-rationale> brandonc503: sudo cp /var/WWW /destination
[05:23] <ttotally> Starnestommy, PriceChild did that, the root is on sda6, a logical device
[05:23] <Jorje> I'm using an HP laptop not configured to Linux. I need to log in to my wireless connection, but I have no clue. I tried doing it by entering the name of the network and the passphrade, but it didn't work. Anyone can help?
[05:23] <brandonc503> Odd-rationale will cp keep the same permissions?
[05:24] <Fryguy--> brandonc503: using cp -a will
[05:24] <brandonc503> or should i use sudo cp  -a
[05:24] <brandonc503> .. kk thanks
[05:24] <amenado> Jorje you have an hp laptop but using which os?
[05:24] <ttotally> it wants to reformat/partition the first three partitions, but two of those are ntfs
[05:24] <miyaka> my wifi doesnt work in ubuntu. Im using MSI megabook laptop
[05:24] <prettyricky> well that question is which one do I add I have one that says swap, and the other one is ext3?
[05:24] <amenado> ttotally-> there should be more options than default..
[05:24] <Fryguy--> prettyricky: ext3
[05:24] <ttotally> amenado, what do you mean?
[05:24] <khaotik_> could anyone give me a link to get my wireless fixed on a compaq presario c700. its weird the fw cutter is installed, the little blu light turned on, but there is no connection or not even one network showing when there should be at least six. this is really putting a damper in my plot to load Ubuntu on every machine and take over the world.
[05:25] <amenado> ttotally-> look carefully at your choices which radio button you can click on
[05:25] <prettyricky> will acronis disk director suite work?
[05:25] <atonalpanic> Is there any way to automatically mount my window vista partition so i don't have to click on the partition in COMPUTER to  get my songs to play in banshee?  my songs are located on vista, but i always have to go in to that partition for banshee to start playing
[05:25] <Fryguy--> why are people so into taking over the world with *nix
[05:25] <Fryguy--> prettyricky: probably
[05:25] <miyaka> how can I stop the start up sound in ubuntu? it continuous playing the sound and never stop. My laptop is MSI
[05:25] <prettyricky> ok
[05:25] <Fryguy--> atonalpanic: edit /etc/fstab
[05:25] <lastelement0> how can i stop compiz fusion from loading the screen at bootup?
[05:26] <ttotally> i already partitioned the disk, but ubuntu wants to write over my partions and just picks the first three existing ones to repartion for its use
[05:26] <Kumool> a ok lol i was using unrar ver 0.0.1 OMG
[05:26] <atonalpanic> fryguy: "Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/*""
[05:26] <Fryguy--> atonalpanic: ... i mean edit the file..
[05:26] <Fryguy--> using whatever text editor you prefer
[05:26] <amenado> ttotally-> it ccan only install on what you selected assuming you choosed the partition yourself,
[05:27] <nickrud> atonalpanic: I have     UUID=386C4F356C4EECE6 /windows        ntfs-3g    defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0       1    to mount my windows partition at /windows ; use    blkid   in a terminal to get your uuid
[05:27] <ttotally> amenado, okay .. now what do you mean "selected"?
[05:27] <amenado> ttotally-> are you installing now? tell me what choices do you have ?
[05:28] <ttotally> i want it to install on /dev/sda6 with a boot partition on /dev/sda1
[05:28] <ttotally> amenado, just a minute
[05:28] <amenado> !who | ttotally
[05:28] <ubotu> ttotally: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[05:28] <nickrud> ttotally: use the manual partitioning
[05:28] <NuCobra> Hi all, How can u remove ubuntu from my hard drive without doing a reformat? i also have Windows installed on the same drive and do not want to lose all my info
[05:29] <atonalpanic> nickrud: just write "UUID=MYWINDOWSPARITION /windows        ntfs-3g    defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0" to that file?
[05:29] <ubuntu> hi
[05:29] <ttotally> nickrud, i did ... partitioned it beforehand with cfdisk, then clicked on manual
[05:29] <amenado> ttotally-> yeah if you are in manual partitioning, you also have a choice for mount points.. so /dev/sda6 for /  and /dev/sda1 for /boot
[05:29] <nickrud> atonalpanic: yes, if you decide to mount it at /windows don't forget to sudo mkdir /windows
[05:30] <NuCobra> Hello :)
[05:30] <GGB> tem brasil??
[05:30] <brandonc503> so that sudo cp -a start finish   said....
[05:30] <brandonc503> cp: failed to preserve ownership for Operation not permitted
[05:30] <nickrud> ttotally: iirc click on the partition, then give the mount point you want that partition to have
[05:30] <ttotally> amenado, i have / for root and /boot for /sda1 ... is that right
[05:30] <amenado> NuCobra-> no worries, your windows can not see the ubuntu partitions if it does not have the ext3 drivers to see linux
[05:30] <Kikkoman> baw
[05:30] <Kikkoman> [22:33] #ubuntu unable to join channel (registered only)
[05:30] <Kikkoman> Oh lol
[05:30] <amenado> ttotally-> it is your choice, you ask me if it is right, what do you like to have?
[05:31] <ttotally> amenado, that's not what i meant
[05:31] <nickrud> brandonc503: do you have write permissions at the location you're writing to?

[05:31] <NuCobra> amenado: How can u remove ubuntu from my hard drive without doing a reformat? i also have Windows installed on the same drive and do not want to lose all my info
[05:31] <amenado> ttotally-> well i dont know what you meant
[05:31] <ttotally> amenado, i meant is the syntax correct
[05:31] <atonalpanic> nickrud: "I'm confused, which file should i add this too?
[05:31] <nickrud> brandonc503: or, you're trying to change the ownership to root of a file you're copying
[05:31] <brandonc503> its my thumb drive.. how would i do that?
[05:31] <amenado> ttotally-> yeah if you are in manual partitioning, you also have a choice for mount points.. so /dev/sda6 for /  and /dev/sda1 for /boot
[05:31] <nickrud> atonalpanic: /etc/fstab
[05:31] <PriceChild> NuCobra: use some partitioning program to delete the ubuntu partition, and expant the windows one to fill the space.
[05:32] <brandonc503> im trying to keep permisions the same
[05:32] <amenado> NuCobra-> do you need to remove it really? why?
[05:32] <brandonc503> is for back up
[05:32] <atonalpanic> nickrud: its telling me it is a directory
[05:32] <meekolope> NuCobra: its to cool to use, it freezes his fingertips
[05:32] <ttotally> amenado, so "/dev/sda6" is what should appear in the table, not "/"
[05:32] <nickrud> brandonc503: if any of the files are owned by root (or about anyone else) you'll have to use sudo
[05:32] <Kumool> how do install unrar from source?
[05:32] <littlepinkdot> Have a quick question about teardrop attacks, what type of firewall is best at preventing teardrop/DDoS attacks? Circuit or SPI?
[05:32] <brandonc503> nickrud i did
[05:32] <NuCobra> PriceChild: you know any good ones? for windows?
[05:32] <nickrud> atonalpanic:   gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[05:32] <furythor> man, compiling that wine takes a while...
[05:33] <furythor> typo ><
[05:33] <ryuenjinzero> NuCobra windows can do it itself
[05:33] <NuCobra> ryuenjinzero: ya if you have the disk
[05:33] <nickrud> brandonc503: hm. sounds odd. without knowing more about what and where its copying ...
[05:33] <amenado> ttotally-> mount points will be  /  and /boot  which corrsponding partition you choose is your choice.. dont forget / should be minimum 2gig -- /boot only about 300meg is enuff
[05:33] <prince_jammys> !gparted | NuCobra: this is one, you can download a liveCD
[05:33] <ubotu> NuCobra: this is one, you can download a liveCD: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[05:34] <NuCobra> prince_jammys: ty
[05:34] <brandonc503> nickrud from /var/www to my flash drive
[05:34] <atonalpanic> nickrud: thanks imma restart and try it out
[05:34] <hqxriven> hi
[05:35] <ttotally> amenado, i normally use about 40-50 meg for /boot
[05:35] <nickrud> brandonc503: is the flash mounted write only?
[05:35] <NuCobra> prince_jammys: it work in windows?
[05:35] <nickrud> brandonc503: I mean, read?
[05:35] <amenado> NuCobra  btw this is the best time to use that infamous  rm -rf * on the partition you want to remove..
[05:35] <prince_jammys> NuCobra: you boot directly into the CD.
[05:35] <amenado> ttotally-> whatever suites you
[05:35] <nickrud> brandonc503: or, is it an ntfs/vfat usb? those can't handle unix permissions
[05:35] <ttotally> amenado, anyway, that's what i have for mount points
[05:36] <furythor> How long building and installing wine can take ?
[05:36] <hqxriven> brasileiros na área???
[05:36] <prince_jammys> NuCobra: you can then edit the partitions (delete the ubuntu one and resize the windows one).  when it's done, you reboot
[05:36] <nickrud> !br | hqxriven
[05:36] <ubotu> hqxriven: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[05:36] <brandonc503> nickrud i have put other files there from ubuntu...
[05:36] <hqxriven> valeu
[05:36] <Pendeta> I have some (probably dumb) questions concerning the Ubuntu Server Edition.  1. Can it be used as a workstation also? or is that not wise?
[05:36] <NuCobra> ok if it works i will see you all around some time
[05:37] <Fryguy--> Pendeta: ubuntu server doesn't install a gui by default
[05:37] <PriceChild> Pendeta: the server edition is just a different set of default packages
[05:37] <nickrud> brandonc503: yes, but if it's an ntfs/vfat partition, you were copying into preset permissions.
[05:37] <brandonc503> nickrud it looks like it copied the files but the permissions where not persereved
[05:37] <ttotally> amenado, let me ask this then. will ubuntu put linux in / automatically? and the kernel image/grub/etc in /boot?
[05:37] <igoens> 0c45:624f Microdia Webcam <-- works with gspca driver but no /dev/video0 = "What's the problem?"
[05:37] <amenado> Pendeta-> yes it can be used as workstation, you may have to add desktop to get gui features
[05:37] <dn4ia> http://heraldnet.com/article/20080303/NEWS01/367822819
[05:37] <PriceChild> Pendeta: you can install a gui on top of the server base install, or you can install server apps on top of the desktop install. You end with the same result.
[05:37] <brandonc503> nickrud what can i do?
[05:37] <dn4ia> oops, did I just show you that?
[05:37] <brandonc503> nickrud i have other flash drives
[05:37] <amenado> ttotally-> affirmative
[05:37] <prince_jammys> ttotally: yes
[05:38] <Pendeta> oktanouc, great.
[05:38] <ttotally> okay, thnx guys
[05:38] <nickrud> brandonc503: exactly.  if you want to preserver permissions, do   tar -cf www.backup.tar /var/www , that will make a file that will preserve permissions
[05:38] <ttotally> back to troubleshooting then
[05:38] <nickrud> brandonc503: or, reformat one of those other flash drives as an ext2/3 partition
[05:38] <brandonc503> nickrud can i do that with ubuntu
[05:38] <nickrud> brandonc503: sure, use parted or cfdisk
[05:38] <NuCobra> if it downloads
[05:39] <Pendeta> Question 2, how does file sharing work? Can you still keep some data files on each workstation?
[05:39] <nickrud> dn4ia: yes, please avoid it in the future
[05:40] <amenado> Pendeta-> off course you keep your data files in each workstation, assuming the shared directory is from the workstation and not from the central server
[05:40] <zero88> W: GPG error: http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907
[05:40] <zero88>  how do i fic this
[05:40] <dn4ia> nickrud, copy that break 10-04
[05:40] <PriceChild> !debian | zero88
[05:40] <ubotu> zero88: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[05:40] <nickrud> zero88: first, by not using debian-mulitmedia
[05:40] <zero88> :(
[05:41] <nickrud> dn4ia: heh, mistakes are made
[05:41] <zero88> im trying to follow this http://tovid.wikia.com/wiki/Installing_svn_ffmpeg_on_a_Debian_based_distro
[05:41] <brandonc503> nickrud if i do that tar -cf www.backup.tar /var/www    ... where will it put the file?
[05:41] <nickrud> brandonc503: in the directory you ran it in
[05:41] <brandonc503> k thanks
[05:41] <PriceChild> zero88: get ffmpeg from medibuntu
[05:41] <Pendeta> amenado, Thanks.
[05:41] <PriceChild> !medibuntu | zero88
[05:41] <ubotu> zero88: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[05:42] <amenado> Pendeta-> no problemo,
[05:42] <nickrud> brandonc503: when it comes time to untar it, use   tar xf www.backup.tar, it will recreate the directory as a subdirectory of where you run it
[05:43] <Pendeta> Question 3. Is there a web page somewhere that clearly but throughly explains how to set up a LAN using the Ubuntu Server Edition?
[05:44] <PriceChild> Pendeta: get two computers and one ethernet cable. Plug one end of the cable in each. Done.
[05:44] <luckyshot> hey guys i improperly shut my pc down and now when i boot up it wont go into xwindows. im stuck in command mode. do you think if i boot up from the cd i can fix it?
[05:44] <luckyshot> i can get in with the live cd i installed it from
[05:44] <luckyshot> xubuntu
[05:46] <Pendeta> PriceChild, we have 5 computers, and two of them are Windows XP. Does what you said  still apply?
[05:46] <PriceChild> Pendeta: get a hub or switch and 5 cables. Plug one end of each cable into the hub or switch, the other into a computer. Done.
[05:46] <amenado> Pendeta its much nicer if you get a hub or a switch in between
[05:46] <brandonc503> nickrud so ... sudo  tar -cf www.backup.tar /var/www
[05:47] <luckyshot> anyone??
[05:47] <amenado> Pendeta-> and most likely you will need a router, so either use your ubuntu as a router/gateway or get a real expensive one :)
[05:47] <nickrud> brandonc503: yes
[05:48] <amenado> Pendeta am assuming your little network will expand
[05:48] <luckyshot> can anyone help me fix this problem?
[05:49] <amenado> luckyshot-> re-install its a new install anyways right?
[05:49] <Darkmystere> Whats the directory Emerald Hides the themeś  after they've been imported..?
[05:49] <lwizardl> hi
[05:50] <brandonc503> nickrud uh.. what did it do? i dont see new anything in /var/www
[05:50] <Odd-rationale> Darkmystere: Either ~/.themes or ~/.emerald
[05:51] <amenado> brandonc503-> what command did you type exactly?
[05:51] <brandonc503> sudo  tar -cf www.backup.tar /var/www;
[05:51] <brandonc503> and it asked for password
[05:51] <brandonc503> and i entered it
[05:51] <Pendeta> Is it easier to use the server as a router/gateway or to use a dedicated router?
[05:51] <brandonc503> tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
[05:51] <amenado> brandonc503-> which directory where you in when doing this command?  pwd
[05:51] <NuCobra> This takes forever to Dwnlod
[05:52] <Kumool> how do i extract rar files?
[05:52] <brandonc503> amenado i did in terminal
[05:52] <amenado> Pendeta same pretty much
[05:52] <amenado> cept for cost
[05:52] <amenado> brandonc503-> in that terminal type this  pwd
[05:53] <ogre> how do i detect the mac addy of my bluetoothe device?
[05:53] <brandonc503> /home/brandon
[05:53] <luckyshot> amenado, not a new install
[05:53] <amenado> brandonc503-> then look for a tar file in your /home/brandon
[05:53] <brandonc503> k
[05:53] <brandonc503> sweet
[05:54] <brandonc503> thanks
[05:54] <Pendeta> PriceChild and amenado, thanks! Now I have questions about a different problem.
[05:54] <Ninesvnsicks> ok me and my friend are having a hard time getting X to work
[05:54] <NuCobra> ok how do i run it now that is it dwnloded
[05:54] <brandonc503> so i can just copy that to flash drive
[05:54] <Ninesvnsicks> he has an Nvidia geforce 6800
[05:54] <Ninesvnsicks> we downloaded the nvidia drivers
[05:54] <Ninesvnsicks> but they wont install
[05:54] <Ninesvnsicks> getting: Unable to find the system utility 'ld' please make sure you have the package binutils installed
[05:54] <ogre> how do i detect the mac addy of my bluetoothe device?
[05:55] <amenado> brandonc503-> cp  source destination  ..may I also suggest some basic linux tutorials?
[05:55] <brandonc503> amenado nope
[05:56] <amenado> brandonc503-> it would really help you..rather than asking every question here
[05:56] <brandonc503> amenado thats what xchat is for.. i learn as i need.. head starting to get full of php and sql stuff.. dont wana blow it up
[05:56] <NuCobra> prince_jammys: how do i run it now that it is dwnloaded
[05:56] <brandonc503> amenado ive learned much here.. i dont read good. have hard time getting book to read to me
[05:56] <Pendeta> When I run tracert on any external url I get all stars except for the first and last line. Is this the fault of my ISP or a problem with my computer?
[05:56] <amenado> brandonc503-> since you dont like to take the effort to do tutorials, thats the last help you get from me
[05:56] <prince_jammys> NuCobra: you have to burn a CD and boot from it
[05:57] <brandonc503> amenado i understand, thanks though
[05:57] <ttotally> amenado, it works now. i didn't know to use the little format check box. once i told it which ones to format it's happy ..
[05:57] <prince_jammys> NuCobra: when you installed ubuntu, did you do it from live cd?
[05:57] <Lasivian> how do I tell Ubuntu to rescan the pcmcia bus?
[05:57] <NuCobra> prince_jammys: yes then updated
[05:58] <prince_jammys> NuCobra: ok, same thing.  you burn a cd and reboot from cd. That way you can edit partitions without working inside them
[05:58] <NuCobra> ok ty
[05:58] <NuCobra> prince_jammys: ty
[05:58] <prince_jammys> NuCobra: the only thing i wonder about is your grub
[05:59] <cryptk> is anyone here that can help me with rebuilding my kernel
[05:59] <Ninesvnsicks> I really need help here
[05:59] <PriceChild> cryptk: why do you think you need to do that?
[05:59] <prince_jammys> if he removes ubuntu with gparted and resizes his existing windows partition, will it affect grub?
[05:59] <PriceChild> prince_jammys: yes, he will need to use the windows install cd to restore the mbr
[05:59] <prince_jammys> "he" being NuCobra
[06:00] <cryptk> I am trying to patch a wireless driver, to do that I need to rebuild the kernel to have loadable module support
[06:00] <prince_jammys> wow he left
[06:00] <prince_jammys> ooops
[06:00] <Fryguy--> cryptk: the ubuntu kernel has loadable module support by default
[06:00] <cryptk> my kernel is telling me that it doesnt
[06:01] <PriceChild> cryptk: you can load modules into the ubuntu kernel...
[06:01] <Fryguy--> cryptk: then you are doing something wrong
[06:01] <prince_jammys> PriceChild: he's not going to be too happy, since he doesn't have a windows cd :/
[06:01] <cryptk> ok, is there someone here that can help me find out what I am doing wrong?
[06:01] <PriceChild> prince_jammys: there are other ways, ##windows for that
[06:02] <cryptk> there are programs available through the package manager that you can use to restore a windows MBR
[06:02] <Mushrooms> Is there a method for me to disable the 'main monitor' of my note book computer, and just use an external monitor?
[06:02] <cryptk> unless it is a vista MBR, then you need the CD
[06:02] <Mushrooms> because i have tried various dual screen configurations, but none of them seem to work properly
[06:02] <plux> Mushrooms: set the lightlevel to zero?
[06:03] <Lasivian> Mushrooms: yeah, that should be under applications/settings/screens and graphics
[06:03] <ogre> where can i get the hardy beta?
[06:03] <PriceChild> !hardy | ogre
[06:03] <ubotu> ogre: 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
[06:03] <Fryguy--> there's a beta?
[06:03] <Fryguy--> i thought it was still alpha
[06:03] <Lasivian> tho to totally shut off your notebook screen you probably need to use the notebook bios settings or hotkeys
[06:03] <PriceChild> Fryguy--: see ubotu's message
[06:03] <kLownish> lol.
[06:04] <Lasivian> anyone know how to rescan the pcmcia bus?
[06:04] <JeffH> does the server edition differ from the desktop edition just by the software that is installed by default?
[06:04] <Fryguy--> JeffH: yes
[06:04] <PriceChild> JeffH: yes.
[06:04] <kLownish> im having a permission problem with my nas (wd netcenter).  I can view, and write to it on my linux box, but cant even view it on winblows..anyone have any idea what i can do ;/
[06:04] <Lasivian> can't get my notebook to see my network card when I swap it out
[06:04] <JeffH> does the server version include x-window
[06:04] <PriceChild> !windows | kLownish

[06:05] <_Oz_> Lasivian: ubuntu tends to have a problem with wireless cards
[06:05] <Lasivian> doh
[06:05] <Lasivian> that's not good
[06:05] <PriceChild> _Oz_: pardon?
[06:05] <Lasivian> it definately hates my Orinoco card
[06:05] <PriceChild> JeffH: no, but it is installable easily.
[06:05] <_Oz_> PriceChild: every wireless card I've combined ubuntu with has choked unfortunately. :(
[06:05] <ogre> how do i detect the mac addy of my bluetooth device?
[06:05] <JeffH> PriceChild: Good.  I don't want a GUI
[06:06] <kLownish> PriceChild: I appreciate your ability to type the ! and a name, but that is not all of the problem..i still would like to be able to view/write to it on linux, and windows.
[06:06] <PriceChild> _Oz_: that does not mean they don't work for anyone else.
[06:06] <PriceChild> kLownish: if it works on linux, but not windows, then its a windows problem.
[06:06] <_Oz_> PriceChild: no, but it is sort of a known weakness of ubuntu at this point in time -- especially if it's a laptop.
[06:06] <Lasivian> well, I swap cards and they don't show up in ifconfig, so I assume I need to tell it to check
[06:06] <PriceChild> _Oz_: I would suggest instead you find out the chipset and give helpful advice.
[06:06] <kLownish> PriceChild: maybe its a permissions issue that i'm no thinking of..
[06:06] <kLownish> which is why im here.
[06:06] <_Oz_> Lasivian: I'm just letting him know it's a common problem, that's all.
[06:07] <PriceChild> kLownish: if it works on linux, but not windows, then its a windows problem?

[06:07] <nraic> Hi, I am using ubuntu 7.04 64bit and I am trying to get flash to work using the Getflash script.
[06:07] <_Oz_> er
[06:07] <cryptk> macromedia flash?
[06:07] <_Oz_> that was supposed to be
[06:07] <PriceChild> nraic: what's wrong with the flashplyugin-nonfree package?
[06:07] <_Oz_> PriceChild: I'm just letting him know it's a common problem, that's all.
[06:08] <nraic> PriceChild, I can't find it using the package manager.
[06:08] <PriceChild> nraic: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[06:09] <limp> How do i know my KDE version?
[06:09] <Mushrooms> sorry about that, i had to do a alt+ sysreq TT^TT
[06:09] <nraic> PriceChild, I get these error. http://rafb.net/p/G5prWm20.html
[06:10] <Mushrooms> I can't remember who i was talking to, but in regards to setting screen preferences, you do mean system->administration->screens and graphics?
[06:10] <PriceChild> nraic: pastebin your sources.list please
[06:10] <nraic> PriceChild, I found the package on the site but yeh then it keeps asking for all the decencies
[06:10] <nraic> PriceChild, How do I locate my sources list?
[06:10] <mindheavy> anyone ever have an icon get stuck on the desktop in gnome, an icon for a cd in the drive to be exact
[06:11] <PriceChild> nraic: cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:11] <limp> I'd really need to know how i can get my KDE version
[06:11] <prince_jammys> limp: one not-so-direct way is to open any kde app (kate, for example) and in the far right of the top menu -Help -> About KDE
[06:11] <Frijolie> I have a Core2 Duo Laptop, should I be running amd64 version over the i386 version?
[06:11] <Fryguy--> Frijolie: no
[06:11] <limp> prince_jammys, thanks =)
[06:12] <nraic> PriceChild: http://rafb.net/p/ppSqh096.html
[06:12] <Frijolie> Fryguy: is there any benefit of the 64bit OS?
[06:12] <Fryguy--> Frijolie: access to more ram, that's about it
[06:12] <limp> Oh by the way, on laptops how come then Fn+Arrow shortcut does not work to reduce/augment screen brightness (save battery)
[06:12] <Frijolie> Fryguy: I do have 2GB RAM
[06:12] <Fryguy--> Frijolie: many applications are slower on 64-bit currently, and there's quite a bit more headaches regarding binary only versions of stuff (firefox, nvidia, and flash all come to mind)
[06:12] <PriceChild> nraic: system > administration > software sources.
[06:12] <Fryguy--> Frijolie: that's fine for 32-bit
[06:13] <Frijolie> Fryguy: ah, well then I'm not missing anything...
[06:13] <Fryguy--> err, well firefox isn't binary only, but it runs flash
[06:13] <Fryguy--> Frijolie: nope
[06:13] <griffi1> hello
[06:13] <Frijolie> Fryguy: alright...
[06:14] <PriceChild> nraic: please uncheck then recheck the first four boxes. Then move to the third tab and uncheck the first 4 boxes, then recheck the first 2.

[06:15] <Frijolie> is there an official release date for Hardy? -- it is next month right?
[06:15] <PriceChild> crypt1029_: please nick to your normal nick and change your password immediately
[06:15] <prince_jammys> oops
[06:15] <fotoflo> hey, im having a problem with ssh, when i use puTTy to connect to my ubuntu box it takes forever for a password prompt
[06:15] <PriceChild> crypt1029_: in future do not perform actions including your password in a channel tab
[06:15] <crypt1029_> I already did, lol
[06:15] <fotoflo> if i use the internal ip its even slower, if i use the extrenal ip, its a little faster
[06:16] <Odd-rationale> Frijolie: Sometime near the end of april, i beleive...
[06:16] <Fryguy--> month 4 and month 10 of every year (hence the .04 and .10 at the end of version numbers)
[06:17] <Fryguy--> exact release date hasn't been scheduled yet i don't think
[06:17] <Frijolie> Odd-rationale: ive searched for an official release schedule and all I get is vague schedule(s)
[06:17] <Odd-rationale> Frijolie: I'll get it for you...
[06:17] <dizzle> every time I switch my wireless network, my custom hosts file is replaced by the Ubuntu default. Can somebody help?
[06:17] <nickrud> 24th
[06:17] <carey> How do i get firefox to stop loading up mp3's to play them when i'm trying to download them instead?
[06:17] <nraic> PriceChild, Done. I did the reload, was warned about one bad package and that was it. I tired the add command again, no go. Do I need to restart?
[06:18] <EnginA> Guys any of you know what should I do to see a KDM/GDM login screen upon VNC connection to a ubuntu server =
[06:18] <Darkmystere> whats the file to edit my screenś res for the splash screen?
[06:18] <EnginA> ?
[06:18] <amenado> dizzle-> look at your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[06:18] <Fryguy--> dizzle: the easiest way is to probably mark the file immutable with chattr
[06:18] <ompaul> EnginA, log in
[06:18] <bastid_raZor> Darkmystere; menu.lst
[06:18] <PriceChild> nraic: in a terminal, sudo apt-get update, then try installing the package again
[06:19] <dizzle> hmmm cool thank for the tips guys
[06:19] <EnginA> with default setup when I log on the the VNC server on my ubuntu box I just see an X session running by root with a console opened.
[06:19] <Odd-rationale> Frijolie: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule
[06:19] <Darkmystere> bastid_raZor, Err, thats not it its a file that just has res in it..
[06:20] <nraic> PriceChild, apt-get update done, package is still not wanting to install.
[06:20] <Flyerfye> Does anyone how to connect to the IRC at a University, I connect just fine at home
[06:20] <Frijolie> Odd-rationale: thanks! that's what I was looking for! the Beta's coming up thanks..
[06:20] <Fryguy--> Flyerfye: ?
[06:20] <Starnestommy> Flyerfye: try port 8001
[06:20] <nraic> PriceChild,  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree is the correct package name yeh?
[06:21] <Flyerfye> how do I do that
[06:21] <Starnestommy> Flyerfye: depends on the client
[06:21] <Darkmystere> whats the file to edit my screenś res for the splash  loading screen so i wont have to wait for it to load and all that..
[06:21] <Fryguy--> Darkmystere: install startupmanager
[06:21] <Flyerfye> XChat-Gnome IRC
[06:21] <Fryguy--> ew xchat :(
[06:22] <nickrud> Darkmystere: /etc/usplash.conf
[06:22] <Flyerfye> what client should I get instead then?
[06:22] <burner\-> uhm.. at resume (from suspend) i get a *out of range* message on my screen. Then it goes to a black screen with a blinking '_'
[06:22] <Frijolie> is GNOME going to upgrade to v3 to "compete" with the new KDE 4 (not trying to start a flame war) I like GNOME better
[06:22] <burner\-> then i have to go to (ctrl+alt+f1) and back to (ctrl+alt+f7) - and there's X working fine, exept from a weird mouse pointer
[06:22] <nickrud> Flyerfye: xchat   plain, (or irssi if you're masochistic)
[06:22] <bastid_raZor> Darkmystere; if you'll read in the menu.lst it'll tell about adding it.. defoptions=vga=791 ..
[06:22] <Fryguy--> Frijolie: gnome is going to continue along it's course, just as it does now
[06:23] <nickrud> Frijolie: off-topic, you should ask on irc.gnome.org , #gnome (and no)
[06:23] <Fryguy--> Frijolie: feel free to look at their release schedule to see what they have planned, or, god forbid, actually do some work for them
[06:23] <prince_jammys> bitchX
[06:23] <Fryguy--> prince_jammys: bitchX is no longer under active development, and has been pretty much completely been replaced by irssi as the de facto cli client of choice
[06:24] <jamesrdorn> is there a good way of freeing "shared" memory? I had a VM open that I had to kill. Normally this RAM is freed when the app closes. It wouldn't be a problem but it's 7.4GB of ram that it in use.
[06:24] <Odd-rationale> Fryguy--: Do you have a link of the relase schedule and planned features?
[06:24] <prince_jammys> Fryguy--: oh
[06:24] <Fryguy--> Odd-rationale: no, but google does
[06:24] <Frijolie> Fryguy: I know it appears that GNOME is a little poky in the incremental upgrade category... I would help if I knew how to code
[06:24] <prince_jammys> Fryguy--: then i'm uninstalling it :)
[06:24] <Odd-rationale> Fryguy--: Thanks.....
[06:24] <Fryguy--> prince_jammys: irssi is really nice
[06:25] <nraic> PriceChild, are you still there?
[06:25] <prince_jammys> Fryguy--: i'm about to get it
[06:25] <PriceChild> nraic: yes

[06:28] <nickrud> Peng: /var/crash
[06:28] <dizzle> often my laptop screen will blank ( i assume its saving power or something).  When i move my mouse to show the screen again, there is no response and i ahve to restart Xserver. is there a fix for this? is it a similar issue as hibernate/suspend?
[06:28] <Darkmystere> well brb trying it out
[06:28] <BenniBoya> hey, how can i get gcc to build for winows?
[06:29] <dizzle> are there fixes for hibernate/suspend now with gutsy?
[06:29] <Fryguy--> BenniBoya: using mingw
[06:29] <nickrud> lkthomas:  try   lspci | grep -i ethernet , that should tell you if the kernel sees your ethernet chip
[06:29] <bastid_raZor> Darkmystere; http://tinyurl.com/2q9qrd will help explain it a bit more
[06:29] <PriceChild> dizzle: hibernate/suspend work fine otb
[06:29] <ryan_mandelbaum> i have a mac g3 ppc and my synaptic keeps crashing every time i search for something
[06:29] <BenniBoya> what is mingew
[06:29] <Peng> nickrud: Oh, ok. It's empty.
[06:29] <Fryguy--> BenniBoya: gcc for windows
[06:29] <PriceChild> dizzle: if you decide to use proprietary binary blobs things may break
[06:29] <BenniBoya> can i build it for windows in ubuntu though?
[06:29] <lkthomas> 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Unknown device 4357 (rev 12)
[06:30] <nickrud> lkthomas: so, the kernel sees it
[06:30] <lkthomas> but ifconfig can't show anything
[06:30] <pstv> i'm a newbie
[06:30] <Fryguy--> BenniBoya: what? windows in ubuntu? what are you talking about?
[06:31] <BenniBoya> fryguy--: can i build programs for windows eg exes  in ubuntu?
[06:31] <Fryguy--> BenniBoya: what exactly are you trying to do
[06:31] <Fryguy--> BenniBoya: no
[06:31] <ryan_mandelbaum>  i have a mac g3 ppc and my synaptic keeps crashing every time i search for something can anyone help me?
[06:31] <catmistake> How do you reconfigure gdm?
[06:31] <pstv> is there a way to find the programs i install?
[06:31] <catmistake> gdk-config or somehting like that/
[06:31] <catmistake> ?
[06:31] <ompaul> !snyaptic | pstv
[06:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about snyaptic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:31] <Arekkusu> ryan_mandelbaum, have you tried leaving it for about 10-20 seconds after it turns black and white?
[06:32] <geoaxis> hello people
[06:32] <BenniBoya> one alst thing, where is the ubuntu version fo a PATH file? ive added my path command to profile and bash_rc and it didnt work
[06:32] <ompaul> !snynaptic | pstv
[06:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about snynaptic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:32] <ryan_mandelbaum> it closes completely
[06:32] <Fryguy--> BenniBoya: it does, you probably have to log out and log back in
[06:32] <ompaul> !synaptic | pstv
[06:32] <ubotu> pstv: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[06:32] <geoaxis> I am have an intel motherbaord with has intel high definition audio
[06:32] <BenniBoya> dw i fixed it
[06:32] <Fryguy--> (or just export a new path on your current shell)
[06:32] <pstv> i use snyaptic to install but where did it install
[06:32] <BenniBoya> ty
[06:32] <Fryguy--> pstv: debians package manager installs to standard linux locations (/usr/bin etc) by default
[06:32] <geoaxis> any chance that i can get its drivers out of box
[06:32] <Arekkusu> ryan_mandelbaum, that's very odd.  Are you using Hardy?
[06:32] <prince_jammys> pstv: what did you just install?
[06:33] <ryan_mandelbaum> no dapper
[06:33] <ompaul> pstv, once installed it runs /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin lots of places are correct
[06:33] <pstv> i google for help but no luck
[06:33] <pstv> aircrack ng
[06:33] <nickrud> lkthomas: lsmod | grep sky2 , what do you get back?
[06:33] <prince_jammys> pstv: have you tried to run it from command line?
[06:33] <pstv> i heard about it and as curious
[06:34] <lkthomas> nickrud: empty
[06:34] <pstv> i installed it through synaptic but now where do i execute it
[06:34] <Fryguy--> pstv: just run aircrack-ng, from a terminal or whatever
[06:34] <prince_jammys> pstv: try typing "aircrack" in a terminal. (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)
[06:34] <nickrud> lkthomas: try sudo modprobe sky2 (based on http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SKY2.html)  , then check your ifconfig
[06:35] <ryan_mandelbaum> no imusing dapper
[06:35] <ompaul> pstv, from menu Applications Accessories Terminal
[06:35] <pstv> i did that too but nothing shows.. googled it
[06:35] <ompaul> pstv, type air and hit the tab key
[06:35] <pstv> ok let me try rite now
[06:35] <Flyerfye> how do you end a process in terminal?
[06:35] <pstv> just air and hit tab? ok
[06:35] <stiv2k> what the heck is "extra timer interrupt" in powerTOP?  It's causing 80% of my wakeups per second
[06:35] <Arekkusu> ryan_mandelbaum, your sources list might be corrupted.
[06:35] <Fryguy--> Flyerfye: use the kill command
[06:35] <lkthomas> nickrud: modprobe sky2, but then eth still not found
[06:35] <Fryguy--> or ctrl-c will kill most currently running processes in termianl
[06:36] <pstv> nothing happen
[06:36] <ttotally> grub doesn't seem to be correctly configured .. i'm getting "Error 15: file not found". In grub.conf, it seems to be treating (hd0,0) as the root file system, but it's /boot. and the root device is sda5, not hda1. are these known issues?
[06:36] <prince_jammys> Flyerfye: kill PROCESSID or killall proces_name or pkill process_name
[06:36] <ryan_mandelbaum> i checked that all it looks fine
[06:36] <Flyerfye> what if I dont know what the process is?
[06:36] <nickrud> dpkg -L aircrack-ng | grep bin should show executables
[06:36] <Flyerfye> My mozilla says it wont open a new window until I close the old one
[06:36] <Flyerfye> the problem is, I dont think the old one is running
[06:36] <prince_jammys> Flyerfye: killall firefox-bin
[06:36] <pstv> i've also tried apt-cache search aircrack
[06:36] <Finnish> Is there an easy way to update to newest version of Audacious?
[06:36] <mavi-> Flyerfye: alt-f3, killall -KILL firefox
[06:36] <Fryguy--> Flyerfye: ps is a command that can help you find running processes and ways of identifying them
[06:36] <ttotally> this is a fresh install
[06:36] <Fryguy--> killall with a processname works too
[06:37] <Flyerfye> thank you
[06:37] <sladigar> or, just use system monitor
[06:37] <Arekkusu> ryan_mandelbaum, there are no error messages at all?
[06:37] <pstv> anyone?
[06:37] <Fryguy--> ttotally: sounds like you tried to do some custom stuff during the install, so no it's not a known issue.  you're pretty much on your own if you decide to do something other than what the guided install tells you to do
[06:37] <nickrud> lkthomas: That's about all I know about that chip. It's listed there, as supposedly supported by that driver. There's not a heck of a lot about that unknown device on google
[06:37] <aseanocho> Hey all.  Does anyone know how to find out the proper vga setting for the CLI text size?
[06:37] <ryan_mandelbaum> no
[06:37] <prince_jammys> pstv: type "man aircrack"
[06:38] <ttotally> Fryguy--, ah, okay. is there any way to get to the grub.conf file to edit it?
[06:38] <mavi-> aseanocho: google. there are lists over those resolutions
[06:38] <Fryguy--> ttotally: it's in /boot
[06:38] <prince_jammys> pstv: aircrack is probably a command-line tool that comes with several executables
[06:38] <pstv> let me try man aircrack
[06:38] <prince_jammys> pstv: that's just a guess
[06:38] <prince_jammys> pstv: it's a wireless packet sniffer, right?
[06:38] <stiv2k> what the heck is "extra timer interrupt" in powerTOP?  It's causing 80% of my wakeups per second
[06:38] <ttotally> Fryguy--, right, but the filesystem won't mount or something's wrong. I can't get my hands on anything.
[06:39] <aseanocho> mavi-:  I've googled it, and tried mult settings.  Nothing has worked except for vga=ask, and I don't like any of its options.
[06:39] <Fryguy--> ttotally: without knowing what you did, nobody is going to be able to help you
[06:39] <ttotally> Fryguy--, okay
[06:39] <ogre> anyone tried aircrack ptw?

[06:39] <pstv> is there a menu i can install that will show applications installed from synaptic

[06:40] <ryan_mandelbaum> how do i reply to a specific person
[06:41] <Fryguy--> the terminal version runs fine for me, and looks just like any other version of vim i run on any other machine
[06:41] <ompaul> ryan_mandelbaum, you use their nick
[06:41] <aseanocho> mavi-:  Any other suggestions?
[06:41] <PriceChild> !tab | ryan_mandelbaum
[06:41] <ubotu> ryan_mandelbaum: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[06:41] <BenniBoya> it just looks like a terminal window with room to type,
[06:41] <nickrud> ryan_mandelbaum: type the first few chars of their name, hit the tab key. Repeat until you get their name

[06:41] <ogre> stefano:  either an unclean shutdown or you have to change premissions to the ntfs partition. i know when i had win that id have to do into /media/ and open it up as root to read my win partition

[06:41] <nickrud> ah, I'm the first nick highlight for ryan_mandelbaum !
[06:42] <Fryguy--> BenniBoya: that's gvim, it's in a different package.  'apt-cache search vim' to see the different options available to you (vim-full is a reasonable choice)
[06:42] <BenniBoya> is there a vim gui?
[06:42] <prince_jammys> neo you're back -- i was typing about this as you left
[06:42] <nickrud> BenniBoya: gvim

[06:43] <Fryguy--> lol
[06:43] <n2diy_> ompaul: ?
[06:44] <ttotally> Fryguy--, I didn't do anything very complicated. Set up "/boot" on /dev/sda1, "/" on /dev/sda5. Then ran install, rebooted and got the error.
[06:44] <ompaul> n2diy_, there is a program called dosfsck and it might be of use to you

[06:45] <pstv> cryptl029: ?
[06:45] <n2diy_> ompaul: why would I need that? I'm not running DOSh here?
[06:45] <crypt1029> it should be part of compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
[06:46] <crypt1029> I think
[06:46] <pstv> yes i do
[06:46] <ogre> pstv:  yes i do but i cant pm u because this nick is unregged. join that channel and ill give u my mSN
[06:46] <crypt1029> install that one through the plugin manager
[06:46] <ompaul> n2diy_, the cards more than likely are
[06:46] <crypt1029> pstv:  it should be part of compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
[06:46] <neo> i have installed a lot of softwares and costumized my settings for ubuntu,,, i case i reinstall ubuntu the installed softwares and settings will be lost ,,,, can i make an image just like ¨norton ghost¨   so that i can just revert back to the older image
[06:47] <Fryguy--> neo:  yes
[06:47] <pstv> plugin manager? hold on
[06:47] <ogre> ompaul:  i know. cant register this nick though :( thanks anyhow
[06:47] <n2diy_> ompaul: I'm not running an M$ here, why would one card play with linux, and the other one won't?

[06:48] <neo> Fryguy: how?
[06:48] <Fryguy--> same way you do in windows..
[06:48] <pstv> is that the compiz-fusion plugin extra?
[06:48] <Fryguy--> make the image and restore it or whatever
[06:48] <ompaul> n2diy_, I made a suggestion based on prior knowledge - the cards format can be broken
[06:48] <SupaFly> nah just ccsm
[06:48] <SupaFly> compiz config settings manager
[06:48] <neo> tell me the exact procedure...
[06:48] <SupaFly> i installed it, then everything went bonkers
[06:48] <SupaFly> ok
[06:49] <SupaFly> i went and done sudo apt-get install ccsm
[06:49] <crypt1029> pstv: yes I think so
[06:49] <SupaFly> then i turned on the desktop 3d cube
[06:49] <SupaFly> then the customs visual effects turned off
[06:49] <pstv> ok let me try
[06:49] <SupaFly> then all the visual effects stopped working
[06:49] <n2diy_> ompaul:roger that, but they both work in the camera, but only one in the reader!?

[06:50] <neo> Fryguy: do u know exact procedure?
[06:50] <n2diy_> ompaul: I guess?

[06:51] <sickz> hola, tengo un duda con ubuntu, alguien podria ayudarme?
[06:52] <pstv> thanx for the help guys.. i'm new to ubuntu but i'm starting to love it
[06:52] <Fryguy--> SupaFly: what happens if you run metacity --replace
[06:52] <Odd-rationale> !es | sickz
[06:52] <ubotu> sickz: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[06:52] <pstv> to be honest its kinda hard work with it
[06:52] <Fryguy--> pstv: not really :/
[06:52] <prince_jammys> neo you could burn a copy of your home dir on CD, and then use aptoncd to save the installed packages *i think*
[06:53] <sickz> thanks Odd-rationale
[06:53] <sickz> :)
[06:53] <pstv> Fryguy would u like to be my teacher
[06:53] <Fryguy--> no
[06:53] <SupaFly> Fryguy ill try that now
[06:53] <prince_jammys> !info aptoncd : neo take a look at this
[06:53] <ubotu> aptoncd (source: aptoncd): Installation disc creator for packages downloaded via APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.97-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 135 kB, installed size 1024 kB
[06:53] <pstv> i'm sure this chat room is a great place to start for support..thanx guys
[06:53] <SupaFly> Fryguy nothing, im still missing everything from the desktop
[06:54] <pstv> gtg..bye
[06:54] <SupaFly> oh man, i hate it when things like this happen S
[06:54] <Fryguy--> SupaFly: run gnome-panel --sm-client-id default1
[06:54] <SupaFly> ok
[06:54] <neo> would this revert back the softwares that i have installed from reposetry
[06:54] <SupaFly> Fryguy it says "A panel is already running."
[06:54] <prince_jammys> neo: this would save the packages from your cache and then you could reinstall
[06:54] <SupaFly> weird, cause there aint no pannels running
[06:55] <SupaFly> i tried rebooting to make sure too
[06:55] <prince_jammys> !clone | neo: check this out too
[06:55] <ubotu> neo: check this out too: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[06:55] <Fryguy--> SupaFly: run "killall gnome-panel" and then run the other command
[06:55] <SupaFly> Fryguy dude, you are a legend, it got my panels and desktop back!
[06:55] <SupaFly> thanks heaps :)
[06:56] <prince_jammys> neo: that last one saves a text file that lists all your packages.  you then save the text file somewhere and run the second command to download and reinstall all the same packages
[06:56] <Fryguy--> SupaFly: btw, there's tons of random stuff going on with ati and compiz, might want to do a bit more research before you screw with compiz some more
[06:56] <Fryguy--> SupaFly: or just go and buy an nvidia card
[06:56] <SupaFly> yeah thats true
[06:56] <SupaFly> im getting a new pc very very soon, so im gona get an nvidia card this time
[06:57] <prince_jammys> neo: that pretty much leaves out your personal settings, which you can do by saving all the hidden directories in your home dir
[06:57]  * chalcedony smiles
[06:57] <neo> in case of no internet connection????
[06:58] <prince_jammys> neo: in case of no interned, install aptoncd and create a cd with your packages
[06:58] <chalcedony> what's the command line command to get a file from a url ?
[06:58] <Fryguy--> chalcedony: wget
[06:58] <chalcedony> Fryguy--: TY :)
[06:59] <chalcedony> can't remember the word
[06:59] <Saajan> Hello people !

[07:00] <iter> Fryguy--: go bears
[07:00] <neo> then how to revert back using aponcd
[07:00] <Fryguy--> iter: lol
[07:01] <fallore> when xchat starts up on ubuntu start it is positioned so that the top bar you drag to move the window is behind the top "applications, places, system" toolbar. is there a way to change this?
[07:01] <Fryguy--> fallore: depends on what window manager you are using
[07:01] <Saajan> t
[07:01] <crypt1029> hey, I finally got make modules to work w/o it yelling at me about needing loadable module support
[07:01] <fallore> Fryguy--: i haven't touched it to my knowledge
[07:01] <b_ecca> help with syncing iphone to ubuntu... it says add user to fuse something... so what i did was to type 'sudo usermod -G username'... not 'sudo apt-get does not work' :( help
[07:01] <Saajan> try to change screen resolution
[07:02] <crypt1029> I had to copy the .config file into the sources directory
[07:02] <Fryguy--> b_ecca: edit /etc/group manually, the user needs to be in the wheel group to sudo
[07:02] <b_ecca> it says Sorry, user username is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/apt-get update' as root on username"
[07:02] <b_ecca> ill try it @ Fryguy
[07:02] <chalcedony> ok how to unzip `install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz' ?
[07:03] <Fryguy--> chalcedony: tar xzf flash_blahblah.tar.gz
[07:03] <chalcedony> oh you're great
[07:03] <chalcedony> ty
[07:03] <ogre> chalcedony:  with cli or gui?
[07:03] <ttotally> does ubuntu automatically make /boot a directory on the root file tree, or can it handle /boot as a separate partition? anyone?
[07:03] <you_> help me
[07:03] <ttotally> i mean "the ubuntu install program"
[07:03] <Odd-rationale> ttotally: You can have /boot separate
[07:03] <prince_jammys> ttotally: you can do it either way
[07:04] <you_> I met some problem during upgrade
[07:04] <chalcedony> ogra: command line (visually impaired)
[07:04] <Fryguy--> you_: can't help you until you ask a question
[07:04] <b_ecca> Fryguy: i cant save though, it says i need permissions, and doing 'sudo gedit' doesnt work
[07:04] <you_> pycentral: pycentral pkgprepare: already exists:
[07:04] <Odd-rationale> ttotally: The default is 2 partitions root and swap
[07:04] <ttotally> if boot's a separate partition then the installer will recognize it automatically?
[07:04] <Fryguy--> b_ecca: need to log in as root to change
[07:04] <ogre> ttotally:  when you get a fsck during boot it will be alot qicker if u set boot partition
[07:04] <b_ecca> ok thanks
[07:04] <pnukeid> i want try install apache+php with deb (ubuntu), but mysql install with source.. it can ?
[07:04] <Odd-rationale> ttotally: Just select which partion you want to use as /boot in the partition step
[07:04] <b_ecca> Fryguy: so ill delete the line that says fuse::'something'
[07:05] <limp> I am updating to KDE 4, it is asking what default DM i should use, what's the difference between kdm and kdm-kde4 ?
[07:05] <ttotally> ogre, i like to have boot on its own
[07:05] <Fryguy--> b_ecca: no, just add your user to the wheel line again
[07:05] <ttotally> Odd-rationale, okay, did all that but grub doesn't seem to be set up correctly
[07:05] <b_ecca> oh ok
[07:05] <Fryguy--> or better yet, go to "users and groups" on system administration and edit it there
[07:05] <ttotally> i'm getting "Error 15 ... no such file"
[07:06] <n2diy_> I have two SD cards, both work in my camera, but only one works in my reader?
[07:06] <Odd-rationale> ttotally: Are you installing ubuntu along side another distro?
[07:06] <iter> n2diy_: hardware issue -- I would make sure the 2nd card makes good contact in the reader
[07:06] <ttotally> Odd-rationale, that's the plan. for now i have two empty ntfs partitions
[07:07] <Saajan> rmmo ehci_hcd to read card
[07:07] <Saajan> rmmod ehci_hcd to read card
[07:07] <n2diy_> iter: done already
[07:07] <iter> n2diy_: they both have the same file system?
[07:07] <ttotally> Odd-rationale, i'm just trying to get ubuntu working before i worry about xp
[07:07] <Fryguy--> ttotally: install xp first
[07:08] <Odd-rationale> ttotally: Actually it is easier to install xp first
[07:08] <Fryguy--> ubuntu installer is much better at dealing with xp than xp is at dealing with ubuntu
[07:08] <ttotally> Fryguy--, okay
[07:08] <Fryguy--> there's no good reason to have a separate /boot partition unless you have multiple *nixes floating around
[07:08] <chills> hey everyone iam usnig a cdma modem... the dns server is very slow how do i force it to use a particular dns server ?
[07:08] <Fryguy--> chills: edit /etc/resolv.conf
[07:08] <Odd-rationale> or you have an encrypted /
[07:08] <chills> k thanks
[07:09] <n2diy_> iter: ahh good question let my check. Though, the camera won't format the one card, that nedis it
[07:09] <limp> Fryguy--, again me =) In choosing a default DM, what's the diff between KDM and KDM-KDE4 ?
[07:09] <Fryguy--> Odd-rationale: good point, although I imagine the people savvy enough to encrypt / aren't going to be asking about getting their machine booted :)
[07:09] <chills> any fast public dns server i can use ?
[07:09] <Fryguy--> limp: no idea i've used KDE for a total of 5 minutes in my life
[07:09] <iter> chills: opendns FTW
[07:10] <Fryguy--> chills: i use 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.4
[07:10] <stefano> when i try to mount my ntfs partition i am notified that i dont have the privileges to do so.
[07:10] <chills> k thanks
[07:10] <limp> Fryguy--, k thanks anyways.
[07:10] <Fryguy--> stefano: sudo
[07:10] <AndrewMc> I have a sound problem using an intel 8x0 driver, a mixer device isn't created.
[07:10] <AndrewMc> any hep?
[07:10] <limp> Anyone else knows?
[07:10] <Odd-rationale> limp: I would assume that ione is simply the kde4 version, more up to date.
[07:10] <Fryguy--> limp: just pick one, it probably doesn't matter and you can change it later
[07:10] <chalcedony> ~/install_flash_player_9_linux$ ls
[07:10] <chalcedony> flashplayer-installer  libflashplayer.so
[07:10] <chalcedony> ~/install_flash_player_9_linux$
[07:10]  * chalcedony blinks
[07:10] <limp> odd-rationale, what is ione?
[07:11] <prince_jammys> limp: typo for "one"
[07:11] <Odd-rationale> limp: The kdm-kde4 one.
[07:11] <Odd-rationale> limp: ya sorry typo...
[07:11] <ttotally> Odd-rationale, i think the reason i used to put boot on the first partition was the old bios issue about no being able to read more than a fixed distance into a disk
[07:11] <chalcedony> ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the
[07:11] <chalcedony>        Adobe Flash Player installer.
[07:11] <iter> Fryguy--: what are those DNS servers?
[07:11]  * chalcedony beats head on desk
[07:12] <limp> Odd-rationale, sorry bout that, english is my second language so yeah xD
[07:12] <Odd-rationale> ttotally: That is true for old bios
[07:12] <Fryguy--> iter: no idea
[07:12] <Fryguy--> ttotally: REALLY old bios
[07:12] <ttotally> Odd-rationale, okay lol
[07:12] <Fryguy--> ttotally: that issue is at least 10 years old, more than that
[07:13] <limp> Odd-rationale, would a 3x KDE theme work on KDE4? I assume so but you never know...
[07:13] <Odd-rationale> limp: probably, you might want to ask in #kubuntu-kde4
[07:13] <ttotally> Fryguy--, ouch!
[07:13] <lkthomas> guys
[07:13] <lkthomas> why /etc/modprobe.conf does not exists ?
[07:13] <limp> oh there's a channel x)
[07:13] <prince_jammys> limp: try #kde #kubuntu or the above channel #kubuntu-kde4
[07:14] <limp> Thanks all =)
[07:14] <Fryguy--> i really should leave and get some real work done :(
[07:14] <prince_jammys> limp: yeah but there's not a lot of traffic right now.... just try the theme and see
[07:14] <iter> Fryguy--: lol I hear that, just don't ever get hooked on yahoo answers
[07:14] <b_ecca> help i get error "Sorry, user username is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/apt-get/install' as root on username." after doing sudo usermod -G username...
[07:14] <AndrewMc> I can't get a mixer device with the intel 8x0 driver on an nForce motherboard.  Any help?
[07:15] <Fryguy--> b_ecca: like i told you before, you need to add the user to the wheel group for sudo
[07:15] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: you can use visudo to add yourself to sudoers
[07:15] <b_ecca> sorry im kinda new to ubuntu so i dunno how
[07:16] <b4l74z4r> will there be x-fi support in ubuntu soon?
[07:16] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: you need to be member of the "admin" group
[07:16] <Fryguy--> b4l74z4r: pretty sure it supports it now
[07:16] <b_ecca> how do i do that on console?
[07:17] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: mmm the problem is if you can't sudo, you can't add yourself unless you're root, i guess
[07:18] <b_ecca> after doin visudo  'visudo: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied'
[07:18] <prince_jammys> how can she get out of this? she has to log in as root
[07:18] <b4l74z4r> Fryguy--, i tried it a week ago and it didn't work
[07:18] <Fryguy--> press ctrl-alt-f1 and log in as root
[07:19] <AndrewMc> b_ecca: can you run the "Users and Groups" settings app?
[07:19] <prince_jammys> she can't sudo, so she can't run it
[07:19] <Fryguy--> AndrewMc: she won't be able to run anything, she removed herself from administrators group
[07:20] <Fryguy--> like i said, ctrl-alt-f1, log in as root, make the change there
[07:20] <iter> probably just boot to single-user mode and add the user acct to wheel
[07:20] <b_ecca> AndrewMc: nope
[07:20] <prince_jammys> she has to log in as root, which is a problem unless she set a root passwd
[07:20] <Fryguy--> iter: strangely enough i just learned it's not wheel in ubuntu :/
[07:20] <AndrewMc> b_ecca: did you enable your root account first?
[07:20] <prince_jammys> Fryguy--: i was gonna ask if you're using ubuntu
[07:20] <AndrewMc> b_ecca: if not, today is going to be your lucky day; you get to learn to use a rescue CD!
[07:20] <b_ecca> AndrewMc: i dunno
[07:21] <prince_jammys> because  to my knowledge she can't even log in as root unless she set a password
[07:21] <b_ecca> AndrewMc: i tried logging into root but it wont log in
[07:21] <Fryguy--> i am, i also have freebsd and a few other oses  sitting in a virtual machine right next to me
[07:21] <AndrewMc> b_ecca: try using a resuce CD
[07:21] <Fryguy--> lol, how to hose a system with a single command that doesn't have "rf" in it
[07:22] <Fryguy--> just boot the livecd again, mount the partition, and edit the /etc/group file
[07:22] <b_ecca> is there another way? AndrewMc i think that'll be my last choice if nothing else works :)
[07:22] <AndrewMc> if you can't log in as root, you need to boot with something that will let you be root.
[07:23] <AndrewMc> b_ecca: are you comfortable editing /etc/group ?
[07:23] <iter> b_ecca: yeah reboot to cd, mount partition and edit necessary files
[07:23] <b_ecca> i can see it but i think it doesnt want me to save
[07:23] <b_ecca> i can see /etc/group
[07:23] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: you can't save, for the same reason
[07:23] <b_ecca> can i do chmod?
[07:24] <iter> b_ecca: you are locked out right now, you'll need to boot from CD
[07:24] <AndrewMc> b_ecca: no, becuase you don't own /etc/group.  reboot from a CD
[07:24] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: you demoted yourself to lowly user - you can't do any admin stuff. you can't chmod that file
[07:24] <b_ecca> so after rebotting i just edit /etc/group then add what?
[07:25] <AndrewMc> b_ecca: add your username to the line that starts with adm
[07:25] <AndrewMc> b_ecca: then save the file, the reboot from the hard drive.
[07:25] <prince_jammys> try this line::   admin:x:117:becca    (your username)
[07:25] <AndrewMc> you should now be in the adm group.
[07:26] <b_ecca> mines says admin:x:110
[07:26] <AndrewMc> prince_jammys: she needs to match the gid of the existing adm group.
[07:26] <prince_jammys> can someone else check if that line is standard?
[07:26] <b_ecca> so i just add admin:x:110:my_username
[07:26] <Fryguy--> b_ecca: it should say admin:x:110:yourusernamehere
[07:26] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: yeah do that
[07:27] <b_ecca> oh ok, so that means ill log out first :(
[07:27] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: just to see something, do cat /etc/sudoers
[07:27] <b_ecca> prince_jammys: permission denied
[07:27] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: lol, i was about to say
[07:28] <prince_jammys> oops
[07:28] <b_ecca> lol
[07:28] <AndrewMc> prince_jammys: sudoers has to be root:root
[07:28] <prince_jammys> what a mess
[07:28] <prince_jammys> anyway, try the above
[07:28] <b_ecca> sure things, thanks for the help
[07:28] <b_ecca> ill reconnect when it doesnt work
[07:29] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: you know how to mount?
[07:29] <prince_jammys> ah she left
[07:29] <AndrewMc> she should be able to log back on from the livecd.
[07:29] <Fryguy--> she's not going to think to do that
[07:30] <AndrewMc> I was about to suggest that she try.
[07:30] <AndrewMc> so.... anybody here got some help for me?
[07:30] <AndrewMc> I can't get a mixer device to show up for my soundcard.
[07:31] <AndrewMc> the alsa driver matrix says to use the intel 8x0 driver, and that module is inserted, but still no mixer
[07:32] <DASPRiD> i have one free 270 gb disk and one free 230 gb disk, now i have a disk with 490gb data. how to backup those 490 gb data to those 2 single disks?
[07:32] <icesword> !lynx

[07:33] <prince_jammys> icesword: check out elinks
[07:33] <icesword> k:)
[07:33] <prince_jammys> icesword: it's like a spiffed-up lynx
[07:33] <AndrewMc> DASPRiD: how much space is actually used on your 490 gig drive?  all 490 gigs?
[07:34] <DASPRiD> AndrewMc, yes
[07:34] <DASPRiD> i want to crypt it with dmcrypt
[07:34] <DASPRiD> so i first have to backup all data
[07:35] <Fryguy--> DASPRiD: i'd recommend looking at truecrypt first
[07:35] <AndrewMc> DASPRiD: use tar.
[07:36] <DASPRiD> AndrewMc, how does tar help me there?
[07:36] <Desuism> this is test text
[07:36] <DASPRiD> Fryguy--, i know truecrypt, thanks
[07:36] <DASPRiD> Desuism, test failed, sorry
[07:37] <AndrewMc> DASPRiD: first see if using -j (bzip2 compression) will make your data small enough to fix on the 270 gig disk.
[07:37] <Desuism> (I'm testing my IRC Clien
[07:37] <Desuism> y)
[07:37] <Desuism> t
[07:37] <DASPRiD> AndrewMc, all data are still maximal compressed
[07:38] <DASPRiD> they won't get any smaller
[07:38] <AndrewMc> DASPRiD: how did you compress them?
[07:38] <iter> DASPRiD: you can split a tarfile with -M
[07:39] <iter> DASPRiD: however you are probably limited to the size of the smaller of the 2 disks
[07:39] <DASPRiD> AndrewB, well they are all in compressed file formats
[07:39] <DASPRiD> iter: thats not enough then
[07:39] <iter> DASPRiD: perhaps you should manually create two directories, one with 230GB data and one with 260GB data and put one on each disk?
[07:40] <AndrewMc> DASPRiD: you could also use lvm to create a volume that spans both disks, that would give you about 500 gigs
[07:40] <DASPRiD> AndrewB, well in one fact i wasnt true
[07:41] <DASPRiD> its 580 gb data, and i have tose 220 and 280 gb disk and some other space left on another 200 drive
[07:41]  * ^MissU^Mwah^Mwah da si bEBEK JEYEK NDAK YACH?>???
[07:41] <AndrewMc> DASPRiD: in one partition?  if so, you can still use lvm
[07:42] <DASPRiD> hm i would like a less drastical option
[07:42] <iter> DASPRiD: how about just copying the data over?
[07:42] <iter> simple and effective
[07:42] <DASPRiD> iter all directotries manually?
[07:42] <DASPRiD> that isnt simple
[07:43] <Thomas`> how i change the charset on xchat
[07:43] <DASPRiD> Thomas`, why do you want to change it, utf-8 is fine
[07:43] <b_ecca> thanks guys worked perfectly, did visudo on recovery mode added admin:110:my_username
[07:44] <b_ecca> but now cant see drive sda1 on desktop :(
[07:44] <iter> DASPRiD: seriously? just rsync avc /first/dir /newdisk/dir ?
[07:44] <iter> erm rsync avz that is
[07:44] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: you logged back in normally or are you on live cd?
[07:44] <DASPRiD> iter and if the new disk is full?
[07:44] <DASPRiD> how to continue with the next?
[07:45] <b_ecca> i logged in normally
[07:45] <b_ecca> thanks for the help, but now i cant see sda1 the partition where my windows op sleeps
[07:45] <iter> DASPRiD: I assume this is a very large directory with 1000s of subdirs?
[07:45] <Fryguy--> b_ecca: click on places | computer and then just double click on the drive you want to use
[07:45] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: mm can you see it through a terminal? or nautilus?
[07:45] <b_ecca> something says when i type in 'mount', /dev/sda1 type fuseblk
[07:46] <DASPRiD> nah, the 580 gb disk itself contains about 1000 subdirs without any further subdirs
[07:46] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: so it's mounted
[07:46] <b_ecca> coz remember i did something like sudo usermod -G my_username
[07:46] <Thomas`> how i change the charset on xchat
[07:47] <iter> DASPRiD: so why not just copy the first 400 or so dirs, then see how much space you have remaining and copy as needed?
[07:47] <DASPRiD> iter how to tell to copy "the first 400 dirs" ?
[07:47] <b_ecca> when i input 'mount' it says /dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[07:47] <b_ecca> proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[07:47] <b_ecca> /sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

[07:47] <crackhead_25> can anyone help me get my printer to work?
[07:47] <crackhead_25> [02:44] <crackhead_25> it was working fine a few days ago, before i did a feisty to gutsy upgrade.. arghhhhhhhh
[07:47] <DASPRiD> iter: i'm locked to console only
[07:47] <iter> rsync -avz /[A-K]* /newdisk/
[07:47] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: just paste the line with /dev/sda1
[07:48] <DASPRiD> iter: ah, thats something with that i can work, thanks :)
[07:48] <b_ecca> sorry
[07:48] <b_ecca> /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)
[07:48] <iter> DASPRiD: remember that's only CAPITAL A-K :)
[07:48] <DASPRiD> uh ^^
[07:48] <DASPRiD> welll its regexp, i can do [A-Ka-k]
[07:49] <iter> exactly
[07:49] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: and you can browse to it in the file browser?  (/media/sda1)
[07:49] <DASPRiD> but then it would be .*
[07:49] <DASPRiD> wouldnt it?
[07:49] <AndrewMc> DASPRiD: what about non-letter characters, like ?_+ etc?
[07:49] <DASPRiD> hmmm
[07:49] <crackhead_25> prince_jammys: can you help me get my printer to work? it was working fine a few days ago, before i did a feisty to gutsy upgrade..
[07:50] <DASPRiD> lemme check if there are some
[07:50] <prince_jammys> b_ecca: also try what Fryguy-- said.  i'm on kde so i don't know if there's something special in gnome.  otherwise you can just create a shortcut on your desktop
[07:50] <b_ecca> ok
[07:50] <DASPRiD> except and Æ, there are only numbers and letters in the beginning, and umlauts
[07:51] <iter> DASPRiD: I just tried rsync -avz ./[A-B]* ./foo/ and it copied A and B to ./foo/ ok
[07:51] <prince_jammys> crackhead_25: i'm not good with printers .. but post any details (errors, if any) and the kind of printer and someone might know
[07:51] <crackhead_25> it's not giving me any errors.. it's a hp 3550.. it just goes in queue, and then doesn't come out and print..
[07:52] <DASPRiD> iter hm i think i could also nfs mount the disks and do it from my workstation with nautilus, couldn't i?
[07:52] <iter> DASPRiD: frankly if I'm copying a bunch of data I don't want to lose I would stick w/rsync
[07:52] <iter> DASPRiD: not to disparage nautilus but gui-copy seems a bit scary
[07:53] <prince_jammys> crackhead_25: did you try the standard stuff - like looking at the configuration under System->Preferences->Printers? (i know, pretty lame advice but i don't know about printers)
[07:53] <Ubuntu-Noob> could someone help me? When watching vids on youtube or any other video site, the vids always seem a bit jerky, its not at all smooth. Is there anyway I can smooth it out?
[07:53] <Ubuntu-Noob> happens a lot with larger vids
[07:53] <DASPRiD> well i just checked, a-k, numbers and the Æ should all fit on the 270 gb disk
[07:53] <crackhead_25> yeah, i've tried all the standard stuff
[07:54] <prince_jammys> crackhead_25: ok since noone seems to know right now, here's some more generic stuff :)
[07:54] <prince_jammys> !printers

[07:54] <prince_jammys> sorry
[07:55] <DASPRiD> hm iter, rsync doesnt like:  rsync -avz [0-9a-kA-KÆÄä]* ../data4
[07:55] <prince_jammys> might as well check if there's any clues there
[07:55] <Ubuntu-Noob> its mainly larger vids, low quality vids are smooth enough
[07:55] <iter> DASPRiD: try rsync -avz ./etcetc
[07:55] <Ubuntu-Noob> but anything higher quality is just jerky
[07:55] <AndrewMc> crackhead_25: I'd try going to http://localhost:631 and configuring it using CUPS directly
[07:56] <iter> DASPRiD: or you can specify /the/full/path/to/your/files
[07:56] <DASPRiD> iter ah idneed
[07:56] <DASPRiD> that seems to work
[07:56] <DASPRiD> t's building the file list, than can take time i think :)
[07:56] <iter> yeah should take a bit
[07:56] <crackhead_25> AndrewMc: i can see it there fine. i try the test printing. it never works. it just goes to queue and then stays there.
[07:57] <icesword> hello
[07:57] <DASPRiD> iter copying is running, well, after it is done i can simply compare the filesize of the copied directories and the original once
[07:57] <DASPRiD> if they match, everything is fine, aye?
[07:58] <iter> DASPRiD: yeah, rsync has a verify switch too iirc
[07:58] <AndrewMc> DASPRiD: I'd use md5sum or the rsync verify switch
[07:58] <AndrewMc> crackhead_25: not really familar with your printer...
[07:58] <DASPRiD> iter is verify -v ?
[07:58] <AndrewMc> crackhead_25: mne does that when there is an NPI error or it's turned off.

[08:01] <tripps> ok, so I've got a realtime kerne installed (uname shows PREEMPT RT) and my limits configured in pam's limits.conf file.

[08:29] <dannyboy20> how do i install CNR on 7.04 ?
[08:29] <Pendeta> Daviey, is it difficult?
[08:30] <Daviey> Pendeta: not too bad - once you see how it tries to do it
[08:31] <Pendeta> Daivey, does that iso come with a package installer?
[08:31] <dannyboy20> how do i install CNR on 7.04 ?
[08:31] <Daviey> Pendeta: Create the RAID-1 partition, then you get a 'virtual' disk to work with as you normally would - note it's not the livecd installer
[08:31] <Daviey> Pendeta: The installer is a package installer :)

[08:33] <z3wb> when i use chan_oss in asterisk, the sound is all distorted
[08:34] <Daviey> z3wb: probably better to hit #asterisk
[08:34] <z3wb> and when i use chan_alsa i get no sound, even though my alsamixer settings are all set up properly and working
[08:34] <z3wb> i am in #asterisk
[08:34] <z3wb> but its a little slow in there, so i went ahead and asked here too just for the hell of it

[08:53] <LSD|Ninja> tmadsen: afaik, iptables has always had a user/kernel split
[08:53] <Dangermike> sorry if i read incorrectly
[08:53] <Dangermike> sounds like i did
[08:53] <Amir880> Dangermark: it says NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on windows then reboot it TWICE!
[08:53]  * ^MissU^Mwah^Mwah mau offf achh Pulang2
[08:53] <LSD|Ninja> O_o
[08:53] <tmadsen> Dangermike: I know that it is already installed, I just wondered if it was compiled into the kernel
[08:54] <tmadsen> LSD|Ninja: OK
[08:54] <Dangermike> Amir880, do you still have windows installed?
[08:54] <Amir880> yup im trying to do a dual boot with ubuntu and vista
[08:55] <Dangermike> i had a problem with this also i had to cleanly shutdown windows using start->shutdown if you just hit the reset button on the pc you need to boot up and do a clean shutdown
[08:55] <Dangermike> it would also be a good idea to follow the error message and run chkdsk
[08:55] <ra2> helpme please
[08:55] <Amir880> Dangermike: i did a restart which would do the same as shutdown
[08:56] <ra2> with my ubuntu desktop
[08:56] <ra2> pleaseeeeeeeee
[08:56] <ere4si> !ask | ra2
[08:56] <ubotu> ra2: 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. :-)
[08:56] <Amir880> i tried that didn't work
[08:56] <chazco> Anyone know when Totem subtitle bug will be fixed if Kaffeine cant be made default?
[08:57] <ra2> yes, at present I cannot to move or even create a folder in my ubuntu desktop...it always..says...operation is not permitted..you dont have permission to do it
[08:57] <Dangermike> chazco, system->prefs->prefered application
[08:58] <Amir880> So what do you suggest Dangermike?
[08:58] <chazco> hmm... missed that. Will that make the change for all media files (.ogm, .m2t, .avi, .mp3... you get the idea)?
[08:58] <Dangermike> Amir880, i need to do some googling but firefox is seg faulting :( trying to look it up now
[08:59] <Dangermike> chazco, no just the multimedia player i think you can right click those individual files and change the default programs and it will update
[08:59] <Dangermike> chazco, i cannot test this ATM but try that
[08:59] <Amir880> thnx dagermike
[08:59] <ra2> I cannot create a folder, move it or event empty my trash..in my ubuntu desktop...help me pleaseeeee
[08:59] <chazco> hmm... all the files i listed currently open with Totem, so they should change?
[08:59] <chazco> Will try it and see :D
[09:00] <Dangermike> chazco, right click ->properties->open with
[09:00] <ere4si> Dangermike, have you asked in #firefox?
[09:00] <Dangermike> ere4si, yes and mozilla's irc
[09:00] <ere4si> Dangermike, ne reply?
[09:01] <Dangermike> ere4si, before i reformatted i could not get the debugger to catch the seg fault it would infinite freeze until i broke the program and then it seg fault....no reply from anybody
[09:01] <Dangermike> ere4si, i am about to post on the forums though
[09:01] <neo> help on installing screenlets
[09:01] <chazco> Changed ogm extension at least... hopefully totem subtitle bug will get fixed though
[09:01] <ere4si> k
[09:01] <ra2> dear ere4si...help me please
[09:01] <ra2> I cannot create a folder in my ubuntu desktop
[09:01] <Amir880> Dangermike any luck?
[09:01] <ra2> or even move it with mouse
[09:02] <Dangermike> Amir880, lol installing epiphany now
[09:02] <z3wb> whats the apt-get command to search for packages?
[09:02] <ra2> it says...you cannot copy it ...bla..bla
[09:02] <Amir880> alright :)
[09:02] <ere4si> ra2: right click the desktop = does thst work?
[09:02] <ra2> yes
[09:02] <tonyyarusso> z3wb: apt-cache search something
[09:02] <Amir880> i was wondering if its okay if i make a new partition in windows and THEN load ubuntu ?!
[09:02] <ra2> but when trying to create folder it says error
[09:02] <z3wb> ok
[09:02] <Amir880> and install ubuntu in it
[09:03] <ere4si> ra2: make it in your /home folder
[09:03] <octa> k
[09:03] <ra2> You do not have permissions to write to the destination.
[09:03] <Amir880> does ubuntu install in NTFS partition format?
[09:03] <ra2> thats is the message
[09:03] <Dangermike> Amir880, it would probably be easier to do it via gparted on the live cd
[09:03] <tonyyarusso> Amir880: no.
[09:03] <neo> help on installing screenlets
[09:03] <Amir880> NO?!
[09:03] <Dangermike> Amir880, you will need (want) to create an ext2 or ext3 partition and a swap partition
[09:04] <LSD|Ninja> Ubuntu can resize an NTFS partition though
[09:04] <Amir880> okay cuz i can't do it through gparted
[09:04] <Dangermike> swap needs to be the size of your ram
[09:04] <tonyyarusso> Amir880: Of course not - NTFS is a Windows filesystem, and closed-source.
[09:04] <ere4si> ra2: in your /home folder is a dir called desktop - open that and make there - it will show on the desktop
[09:04] <Amir880> Dangermike im totally lost
[09:04] <Amir880> what are those?!
[09:04] <Dangermike> Amir880, well at least your eager to learn ill find an article that explains it
[09:05] <Amir880> Dangermike is that why its not working? my partition is NTFS
[09:05] <Amir880> i sure will appreciate that
[09:05] <Dangermike> yes you will need to resize the NTFS partition and create at least 2 more new ones
[09:05] <Dangermike> Amir880, swap and your ext2/3
[09:05] <CAP1909> buenas
[09:06] <TheOomph> necesito ayuda con ubuntu
[09:06] <Amir880> goddddddddd its a LOT more complicated than what i thought it would
[09:06] <ra2> do you know what is the probelm .?....cause before..I make it so smooth but now its very difficult
[09:06] <sap> Dangermike, I installed geoip from synaptic :) . but how do i start it now?
[09:06] <Dangermike> sap via terminal
[09:06] <TheOomph> Hi I need help with ubuntu
[09:06] <Amir880> im totally lost
[09:06] <sap> Dangermike,  geoip
[09:06] <sap> bash: geoip: command not found
[09:06] <Amir880> i want to do a dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu and just don't know how
[09:07] <TheOomph> My LiveCD don't start correctly
[09:07] <TheOomph> but It isn't a problem of the CD
[09:07] <TheOomph> because in an other computer it works perfectly
[09:08] <Dangermike> Amir880, sorry i cannot keep my browser open long enough to read the articles to see if their worth anything to read i would google  'ubuntu ext3 and ntfs' choose the ubuntu forums link theres a wikipedia link and a ubuntu starters guide link
[09:08] <TheOomph> http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7672/error002dd8.jpg This is a photo from the error
[09:09] <TheOomph> -i have read all guides I see
[09:09] <TheOomph> but no solution
[09:09] <Amir880> oh ok thnx man
[09:10] <Amir880> i know i have to convert to ext 1 or 2 but the thing is its not even letting me to make a new partition
[09:10] <archman> where is the NetworkManager conf file?
[09:10] <Dangermike> Amir880, google the error it came up with results
[09:10] <Dangermike> Amir880, i just couldnt read the articles :(
[09:10] <sap> umm.. any ideas for starting geoip?
[09:10] <TheOomph> can anyone help me please?
[09:11] <ere4si> archman, /etc/hosts I think
[09:11] <TheOomph> I must work with my computer
[09:11] <Amir880> oh ok thanx for the help man
[09:11] <ewook> we all do.
[09:11] <Dangermike> sap geoip tab tab
[09:11] <Dangermike> sap you will see 2 programs installed
[09:11] <ere4si> TheOomph, did you md5 the disk?
[09:11] <Dangermike> man geoiplookup
[09:12] <TheOomph> what is md5?
[09:12] <Dangermike> :|
[09:12] <wasabi_> i'm trying to change the font display for 9menu, the manual says -font fname; i've tried using arial or arial.tff but nothing works. what exactly is fname referring to?
[09:12] <Dangermike> TheOomph, you said it worked on a 2nd pc right?
[09:12] <archman> ere4si: yeah, thanks, i want to disable auto-connect, there is not an option; how to do that?
[09:12] <TheOomph> yes
[09:12] <sap> Dangermike, ok sounds good. so i'll read that now :)
[09:12] <ere4si> !md5 | TheOomph
[09:12] <ubotu> TheOomph: 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
[09:13] <Dangermike> sap theirs also geoipupdate
[09:13] <sap> what does it do?
[09:13] <archman> ere4si: turning off roaming mode?
[09:13] <Blouxou> TheOomph: It's an algorithm that you can run on data that basically creates a unique string from anything. If the data is changed in the slightest, the MD5 value will change. The idea is that we can use it to validate the ISO isn't corrupted - we know what the MD5 value of the perfect ISO is; and if there's any change in the data the MD5 will change
[09:13] <Dangermike> sap also if this isnt to your liking go to synaptics and search for GeoIP
[09:13] <Dangermike> sap i donno ive never used it
[09:13] <Dangermike> sap i just noticed it installed it when i installed geoip-bin
[09:14] <sap> Dangermike, ya i installed geoIP-bin from synaptic
[09:14] <ere4si> archman, I don't use wireless - sorry - have rached the end of my knowledge there...
[09:14] <sap> Dangermike, and there is only one "geoip" in synaptic
[09:14] <ere4si> *reached
[09:14] <archman> ere4si: do you know of any networking channel?
[09:14] <Blouxou> TheOomph: e.g. I can calculate the MD5 value of "Hello world!" is 86fb269d190d2c85f6e0468ceca42a20, whereas the MD5 value of "Hello world" is 3e25960a79dbc69b674cd4ec67a72c62
[09:14] <Dangermike> sap yes only one package but search the descriptions they could have different package names but still do GeoIP stuff :)
[09:15] <ere4si> archman, can get u a link for wireless docs
[09:15] <sap> Dangermike, oh i see. k ty
[09:15] <ere4si> !wireless | archman
[09:15] <ubotu> archman: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:15] <Blouxou> If there's the slightest change in the ISO, such as a missing !, the slight change has a chance of breaking the entire installation in a very subtle manner, so we use MD5 to verify.
[09:15] <salymiel> exit
[09:15] <archman> ere4si: tnx !
[09:15] <Dangermike> archman, it may be worth your time to man ifconfig
[09:16] <ere4si> k
[09:16] <Pendeta> How do you convert a pc into a thin client?
[09:16] <Blouxou> Pendeta: Without significant hassle, you don't
[09:16] <TheOomph> where can i download MD5SUMS?
[09:16] <Dangermike> TheOomph, any ubuntu download site should host the md5
[09:17] <Blouxou> Pendeta: Try gOS if you want an effective thin client; if a machine isn't already a thin client; well, it isn't a thin client
[09:17] <Blouxou> Pendeta: gOS is designed around a low-spec system that relies heavily on network-provided services
[09:17] <Dangermike> http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/MD5SUMS
[09:17] <Blouxou> Pendeta: Also look into remove server logins and VNC
[09:17] <z3wb> what ubuntu package do i install to get gsm support in alsa?
[09:17] <Dangermike> TheOomph, http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/MD5SUMS change the version number for yours if your not running gutsy
[09:18] <Blouxou> Is there anything like a perfect Ubuntu laptop? I want to get Ubuntu running on a laptop without too much grief and I'm happy to buy a new machine in order to do so.
[09:18] <wasabi_> i'm trying to change the font display for 9menu, the manual says -font fname; i've tried using arial or arial.tff but nothing works. what exactly is fname referring to?
[09:18] <archman> Dangermike: nothing, tnx anyway !
[09:18] <ere4si> Pendeta, nfs mounts will help in that - or smba shares
[09:18] <ere4si> *samba
[09:18] <Dangermike> Blouxou, dell sells preinstall'ed ubuntu laptops if thats what your looking for
[09:18] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, try system76
[09:18] <Blouxou> Dangermike: Okay, amend that. I'm happy to buy a new non-dell machine to do so.
[09:18] <Dangermike> lol
[09:18] <Blouxou> TuTUXG_: Cool, I'll take a look, thanks.
[09:19] <Dangermike> well at least you have taste
[09:19] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, np
[09:19] <z3wb> Blouxou: from my experience, i've learned that most linux distros are trial-by-error. you put it on there, you find out what doesn't work, then you fix it, and learn something about linux/computers in the process
[09:19] <TuTUXG_> Dangermike, lol
[09:19] <Pendeta> Blouxou and ere4si, thanks I'll check into those things.
[09:19] <ere4si> k
[09:19] <TheOomph> I can't understand anything :(
[09:20] <dgjones> !hcl | Blouxou, You could pick a laptop that suits you and then have look at the hardware compatibility lists to see whether people have installed and what issues they had
[09:20] <ubotu> Blouxou, You could pick a laptop that suits you and then have look at the hardware compatibility lists to see whether people have installed and what issues they had: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[09:20] <z3wb> so how do i get alsa to play gsm files?
[09:20] <b_ecca> help with ipod-convenience using iphone, when using 'sudo iphone-mount' i get the error
[09:20] <b_ecca> ssh: : Name or service not known, but i installed ssh already
[09:20] <jenni> Can someone please help me with recordMyDesktop
[09:20] <TuTUXG_> Dangermike, im not a dell hater, but i know ppl have really bad experience with dell
[09:20] <Blouxou> Dangermike: Actually, the current generation of Dell hardware isn't too bad. It's just their customer support is terrible. I'm tired of threatening to sue them through an uninformed and poorly trained call centre worker with poor English.
[09:20] <b_ecca> and i can connect using 'sudo ssh root@ip_address"
[09:21] <Blouxou> Dangermike: Eventually, I managed to get a full refund on my first (and last) ever Dell purchase -- and keep the machine -- and I've decided never to do business with them again.
[09:21] <popey> jenni: what's up?
[09:21] <Dangermike> yeah the outsourced tech support is somewhat of a standard de facto these days
[09:21] <jenni> popey, I want recordmydesktop to record what i hear, and not my mic
[09:21] <Blouxou> Dangermike: Not really. The specialist builders don't outsource tech support.
[09:21] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, dat happens with all major laptop vendors probly
[09:21] <popey> jenni: I have never done that, sorry
[09:21] <netron1234> dell have always been crappy. thats not exactly news.
[09:22] <Blouxou> I don't care if they have to be ultra competitive as a major vendor. If that's what it takes to sell laptops cheap, I think I'll pay the premium.
[09:22] <z3wb> is it even possible for alsa to handle gsm?
[09:22] <krinns> helo
[09:22] <krinns> guys
[09:22] <Blouxou> dgjones: I'll look into that, but I might just go with system76
[09:22] <krinns> any one knows my disk is giving bad sector erros
[09:22] <z3wb> when i aplay gsm files i get nothing but white noise
[09:22] <netron1234> you guys heard of system 76?
[09:22] <krinns> i want to recover my data
[09:22] <ere4si> !gsm-utils
[09:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gsm-utils - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:23] <netron1234> you want to recover your data?
[09:23] <Dangermike> !info gsm-utils
[09:23] <ubotu> gsm-utils (source: gsmlib): GSM mobile phone access applications. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.10-10ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 150 kB, installed size 484 kB
[09:23] <Dangermike> z3wb, thats not w hat your looking for
[09:23] <jenni> Can anyone tell me how to set recordMyDesktop to record what I hear (audio) instead of my mic
[09:24] <z3wb> Dangermike: I know
[09:24] <z3wb> that's some kind of SMS thing
[09:24] <Dangermike> irda modem etc yeah
[09:24] <TuTUXG_> jenni, i guess, change the audio input device?
[09:24] <z3wb> if i could just get alsa to work with gsm files, then i can get asterisk set up
[09:24] <jenni> recordmydesktop doesnt let u do that
[09:24] <Dangermike> z3wb, sox can convert formats from what i am reading
[09:24] <Blouxou> Haha, someone's been googlebombed. A search for system76 turns up wikipedia [[FUD]] on the first page of results.
[09:25] <sap> Dangermike, unfortunately that tool isn't much descriptive . Rather I found a good online resource: http://www.geoiptool.com/ . Thnks for the help tho.
[09:25] <Dangermike> sap np i didnt think you would fancy it but never-the-less glad you found a solution
[09:26] <Blouxou> geoip?
[09:26] <Blouxou> If it can be done programatically, Maxmind has the best solution.
[09:26] <sap> Dangermike, and I also learned something new today . the "tab tab" thing u told me to search
[09:26] <TheOomph> now I have the MD5SUMS archives
[09:27] <Blouxou> sap: It works in IRC too ;)
[09:27] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, http://system76.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=51 looks nice
[09:27] <Blouxou> (... on some clients.)
[09:27] <Dangermike> sap hehe yeah thats a very cool time saver for looking for programs
[09:27] <TheOomph> but I don't know what i must do
[09:27] <sap> Dangermike, ya i knew abt it on irc but not in the terminal
[09:27] <Dangermike> TheOomph, compare your iso image to the md5
[09:27] <Blouxou> TuTUXG_: I might get one of those actually, they seem quite decent
[09:27] <TheOomph> How can icompare it?
[09:27] <Dangermike> TheOomph, burn it at a slow rate, not as fast as possible
[09:27] <Dangermike> if it matches
[09:28] <Dangermike> !md5
[09:28] <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

[09:28] <Dangermike> paying the premium
[09:28] <Dangermike> :)
[09:28] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, seems like they havent started to offer penryn yet
[09:28] <Blouxou> I was originally hoping for a system off eBay
[09:28] <Blouxou> TuTUXG_: I can upgrade it manually
[09:28] <hume> hi... a very basic issue with gimp: how do I set the color for pencil / paintbrush? cannot make it other than black right now..... anyone?
[09:28] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, what did u add?
[09:29] <Blouxou> Well, my budget is about US$1500, but I need some deceent specs (e.g. 2gb ram, a 7200rpm disk)
[09:29] <Blouxou> TuTUXG_: Err... well, just about everything, actually.
[09:29] <hqxriven> hi
[09:29] <hqxriven> helooo
[09:29] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, I always upgrade the ram and hd myself, laptop vendors always overprice those stuff
[09:29] <Blouxou> TuTUXG_: Mainly Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4 GHz 800 MHz FSB 4 MB L2 ( +$265.00 ), 4 GB - 2 x 2 GB DDR2 667 MHZ ( +$150.00 ), 200 GB 7200 RPM SATA ( +$220.00 ), Extra 9 Cell Lithium Ion ( +$129.00 )
[09:30] <smacky1> check this out i just build a amd quad  and ubuntu wont install at lease the i386 any idea;s
[09:30] <erawfish_> smacky1: more info needed
[09:31] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, T7300 or T7500 is good enough, 4 gb ram may only take about half the price if u buy it somewhere else
[09:32] <u007-1> hi, anyone know how to create a shortcut / launcher on gnome desktop which execute the binary at the binary home directory?
[09:33] <cminion> anybody can help me with an openSSH problem. Nobody's answering on the dedicated channel.
[09:33] <Blouxou> TuTUXG_: But then I'd have to install it.
[09:33] <Dangermike> u007-1, right click -> create launcher
[09:33] <erawfish_> !ask | cminion
[09:33] <ubotu> cminion: 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. :-)
[09:33] <aimaz> u007-1: right click on the desktop, click create launcher, in "command" put the full path to the binary
[09:34] <Blouxou> I'm an accountant, and certainly not a geek, let alone someone capable of installing RAM, even if it only means sliding away a panel and inserting some sticks of memory.
[09:34] <Blouxou> TuTUXG_: And I figure if I'm buying a new machine I might as well get the best
[09:34] <u007-1> aimaz: i want it to execute in the binary path
[09:34] <Blouxou> (within reasonably bounds...)
[09:34] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, i c..
[09:34] <Dangermike> Blouxou, although its usually pretty painless i have managed to catch a pc on fire by installing ram before ;P
[09:34] <Dangermike> random freak accident
[09:34] <Blouxou> Dangermike: How very reassuring :P
[09:34] <u007-1> Danermike - i need it to have pwd on the same path as the binary...
[09:35] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, actually install rams / hdd is pretty easy
[09:35] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, but not with sony laptops
[09:35] <Dangermike> as aimaz just use the full path then if it needs to ask for privileges start with `gksu /path/to/binary`
[09:35] <Dangermike> as aimaz just said*
[09:36] <Dangermike> u007-1,
[09:36] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, as far as i know dell hp toshiba acer and lenovo laptops are all esay to upgrade
[09:36] <epibox> could someone tell me where gnome stores the .xml containing the menu items in the main menu?
[09:36] <epibox> or isn't it an .xml?
[09:36] <Blouxou> TuTUXG_: I'd rather take it to the store anyway
[09:36] <Dangermike> probably .gnome
[09:37] <Blouxou> TuTUXG_: In which case I'm going to be thoroughly overcharged and I might as well get it OEM
[09:37] <epibox> I looked inside .gnome and .gnome2, can't locate it
[09:37] <Dangermike> .gnome2*
[09:37] <Dangermike> ah
[09:37] <TuTUXG_> Blouxou, if u wanna just pick the the highest spec the vendor gonna offer, im afraid the price gonna be expensive anyway
[09:37] <smacky1> I just build a amd quad four on a M2A-Vm Asus board with four gigs of ram and I cant get ubuntu 7.10 I385 to install
[09:37] <u007-1> Dangermike - thank you, my shortcut got space, thats why it didnt work :) thanks
[09:37] <smacky1> opps I386
[09:38] <Blouxou> TuTUXG_: In which case I should really get a used but fairly recent model with hardware support
[09:39] <Dangermike> epibox, i dont know but i do know you can run alacarte for the menu editor
[09:39] <Dangermike> epibox, theirs also another menu editor (gui) in system->prefs
[09:40] <Amaranth> What's the problem?
[09:40] <Amaranth> Dangermike: That's just alacarte again
[09:40] <Dangermike> lol your right
[09:40] <Wind``> hey guys, i have a serious porblem
[09:40] <Amaranth> Dangermike: You can get to alacarte through right cick->Edit Menus, System->Preferences->Main Menu, and just running 'alacarte'
[09:40] <Dangermike> i though they looked different but when i took a double take
[09:40] <Dangermike> they were the same :|
[09:40] <Wind``> switched to the KDE session and when i tried to switch back none of the panels/menus/desktop loads
[09:41] <Wind``> everything is up, but i can't seea anything.
[09:41] <josh13> hi
[09:41] <Wind``> any ideas how to fix this?
[09:41] <Amaranth> epibox: The GNOME menu follows the freedesktop.org standards for menu systems. It uses an XML menu for layout and ini-type files for the actual entries in the menu
[09:41] <Amaranth> epibox: The system version of the menu is in /etc/xdg/menus/ but you can also create user versions in ~/.config/menus/
[09:41] <z3wb> ok
[09:41] <z3wb> i installed sox
[09:42] <z3wb> and using the play command i can play gsm files perfectly
[09:42] <Dangermike> z3wb, cool! :)
[09:42] <z3wb> chan_oss still produces garbled sound, chan_alsa still produces no sound at all
[09:42] <smacky1> wow i build this powerful machine and ubuntu can't handle it ...go figure...lol
[09:42] <Amaranth> epibox: alacarte creates a user menu and merges the system menu into it (there is an xml tag to do this) then all of its changes automatically go on top of the system layout
[09:42] <josh13> i have a backup file "foo.txt" obtained with crontab -l > foo.txt . I'm on another computer, I would like to crontab -e with foo.txt as input... how can i do that ?
[09:42] <ndlovu> if I install a .bin file on ubuntu, is there an easy way to uninstall it later?
[09:42] <Amaranth> epibox: what in particular did you need to know?
[09:42] <Amaranth> ndlovu: nope
[09:42] <erawfish_> smacky1: apparently you cannot answer question siether. so have fun solving your problems alone. HAND
[09:43] <ndlovu> Amaranth, does it depend on the application, or is there just never a way?
[09:43] <erawfish_> ndlovu: depends on the file. usually not
[09:43]  * Wind`` sighs
[09:43] <Dangermike> smacky1, as it was said before more info is needed on what is happening
[09:43] <amitprakash_> whats the app which lets you select gdm login theme
[09:43] <ndlovu> tks
[09:43] <Amaranth> ndlovu: Sometimes they'll be nice and include an uninstaller but basically the only way is to find all the files it installed manually and remove them
[09:43] <smacky1> after the reboot it go'es to a black login in screen
[09:43] <Amaranth> amitprakash_: System->Administration->Login Window
[09:44] <Dangermike> smacky1, can you switch to a terminal and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:44] <Amaranth> amitprakash_: I wouldn't get to attached to theming gdm though, in Ubuntu 8.10 (October 2008) we'll have a new rewritten version of gdm that doesn't do theming
[09:44] <smacky1> no sir
[09:44] <z3wb> so still no working sound in asterisk for me >:I
[09:44] <Amaranth> smacky1: nvidia geforce 8000 series
[09:44] <Amaranth> smacky1: ?
[09:44] <smacky1> yes
[09:44] <MasterRat> got a ps2/n64 to usb converter... and it's bein a finicky sort. got it to respond in jstest ONCE and recognized in PCSX2 once... now it's poofed again, tho js1 is still there.... any ideas?
[09:45] <Amaranth> smacky1: did you install and enable the nvidia driver already?
[09:45] <smacky1> yes
[09:45] <ndlovu> Amaranth, I've heard of an app called checkinstall that supposedly keeps track of such things for installing source files - do you know if it works for .bin files also?
[09:45] <Amaranth> ndlovu: it doesn't
[09:45] <Amaranth> smacky1: interesting, what card is it and what driver version did you install?
[09:45] <ndlovu> Amaranth, thanks
[09:45] <amitprakash_> Amaranth, whats it called tho? gdm-theme-selector or ?
[09:46] <smacky1> hold on let me get you that infor
[09:46] <Amaranth> amitprakash_: gksudo gdmsetup
[09:46] <smacky1> my video is xfx Nvidia Geforce 8400 gs
[09:47] <Amaranth> smacky1: and you installed the nvidia-glx-new package for the driver?
[09:47] <smacky1> yes
[09:48] <Amaranth> !info nvidia-glx-new gutsy
[09:48] <ubotu> nvidia-glx-new (source: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 (2.6.22.4-14.10)): NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver. In component restricted, is optional. Version 100.14.19+2.6.22.4-14.10 (gutsy), package size 4896 kB, installed size 14848 kB
[09:48] <Platero> I have chek the md5
[09:48] <Platero> it don't match
[09:48] <Wind``> oof.
[09:48] <Amaranth> smacky1: oh, the driver in gutsy is too old
[09:48] <Platero> what must i do now?
[09:48] <smacky1> wow
[09:48] <Amaranth> smacky1: you need to install the one from nvidia.com manually
[09:49] <Dangermike> smacky1, its not supported but if you can get into the system using vesa drivers envy was easy to go through
[09:49] <Amaranth> smacky1: for now boot in recovery mode (option on the grub menu) and uninstall nvidia-glx-new, then when you reboot you should get a somewhat working X back
[09:49] <Dangermike> !envy
[09:49] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[09:50] <Amaranth> smacky1: then you can get the new driver
[09:50] <Wind``> Amaranth, after switching to KDS on gutsy i can't switch back to genome
[09:50] <Wind``> KDE
[09:50] <Amaranth> smacky1: in recovery mode run `apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx-new && reboot`
[09:50] <smacky1> Amaranth i did the envy thingy
[09:50] <Wind``> any ways to make the panels/menus load?
[09:50] <Amaranth> smacky1: oh
[09:50] <Dangermike> smacky1, go back to envy and choose the uninstall option
[09:51] <Amaranth> smacky1: in that case i have no idea what it did to your system or how to go about helping
[09:51] <Amaranth> Wind``: sorry, i'm not sure what you mean
[09:51] <Wind``> after the login i get a blank desktop
[09:51] <Dangermike> smacky1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:51] <MasterRat> wait, whats wrong with the envy way? :/
[09:51] <Dangermike> !envy
[09:51] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[09:52] <smacky1> so to much CARD ?
[09:52] <Wind``> it's there, but i can't see it.
[09:52] <Dangermike> smacky1, probably bad drivers
[09:52] <Amaranth> MasterRat: The only version of envy I'd recommend using is the one that only works with hardy (Ubuntu 8.04)
[09:52] <Dangermike> or wrong drivers
[09:52] <Dangermike> *
[09:52] <Amaranth> MasterRat: Older versions did some bad things
[09:52] <TheOomph> my md5 don't match what must i do
[09:52] <Dangermike> redownload
[09:52] <TheOomph> ok
[09:52] <TheOomph> thanks
[09:53] <MasterRat> huh, seems to have worked ok here :/ tho PCSX2 is touch and go and the graphics are garbled... might be related, might just be poor emulation, tho the game i tested is listed as playable
[09:53] <Dangermike> Amaranth, do you know how to diagnose a firefox and epiphany seg fault from the crash reports i see the memory maps etc. but i dont really know where to start :\ this is a brand new install of Gutsy
[09:53] <dgjones> MasterRat, kernel updates are likely to cause you to end up with a broken system once you've used Envy, you end up having to reinstall envy after updates to the kernel
[09:53] <Wind``> bah. never mind.
[09:53] <MasterRat> t-riffic.
[09:54] <Blouxou> How is it that just as search volume for "linux" declines, search volume for "ubuntu" increases in almost perfect proportion?
[09:54] <smacky1> I have a junky card i hate to put it in this machine  that i used on my old machine that work on unbuntu
[09:54] <Blouxou> http://www.google.com/trends/viz?q=ubuntu,+linux&date=all&geo=all&graph=weekly_img&ctab=2&sa=N
[09:54] <Amaranth> Dangermike: run sudo apport-gtk /var/crash/<name of crash file> and let it send the crash data to launchpad
[09:54] <Amaranth> Dangermike: it'll automatically get us a stacktrace and such
[09:54] <Dangermike> kk
[09:55] <b4l74z4r> i'm awaiting x-fi support in ubuntu
[09:56] <smacky1> ok y'all thanks for your help back to the drawing board
[09:57] <niketas> Guys, does anybody now how to use shortcuts when I'm switched to another language keyobord layout?
[09:58] <niketas> E.g. when I press Ctrl+C, it doesn't work till I switch back to English
[09:58] <anne795> hi, i was wondering if anyone can help me set up an ubuntu wireless router :) !
[09:58] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> niketas, u have to switch back to english i guess
[10:00] <bain> clear
[10:00] <bain> arg
[10:00] <fract^wizz> Ehm, maybe a little weird question, i remember last time i used ubuntu and i had to edit some kind of "list" or configuration file to get access to download some programs in the "add/remove" thingie, i hope you know what i mean.
[10:01] <Dangermike> fract^wizz, system->admin->software sources
[10:01] <johanpre44> Hi everyone! I need help with getting a serial impact printer to work with Ubuntu (7.10), can anyone maybe give me some pointers?
[10:01] <Dangermike> /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:01] <ArmedKing> Hey all, I'm about to change my data partition's Format, What Linux File system is best for saving large amounts of data?
[10:02] <fract^wizz> Dangermike, Oh thanks! Thats it :)
[10:02] <Dangermike> ArmedKing, im no expert on the matter but i stick with ext3 and i use ext2 on my older laptops with lower system specs
[10:02] <bain> fract^wizz: You can use the "Software Sources" option in System->Administration as well
[10:02] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> fract^wizz, ext3 is fine
[10:02] <ere4si> niketas, in your non-english language - is the c still just c or diff?
[10:04] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> johanpre44, system->admin ->printer
[10:04] <fract^wizz> bain, Yeah, he said that too a little earlier =) Thanks anyway
[10:05] <niketas> ere4si, I suppose Ubuntu thinks it should be different, but why shortcuts aren't multi-layout?
[10:06] <lunks> I have 2 drivers available for my wireless card, bcm43xx and b43. Right now, b43 is being used, but I'd like to use bcm43xx. How to I make the switch? Just blacklisting b43 didn't work.
[10:06] <johanpre44> OK, I've got the printer configuration tool open now. Searching for printers does not show my Serial Printer (but it shows all the network printers etc). There is also not option to select for printer connected to a serial port (the parralel port is in the list)
[10:06] <ere4si> niketas, I'm not on gnome atm - isn't there a profile or similar?
[10:07] <niketas> ere4si, a profile of shortcuts, layout or user -- what profile?
[10:08] <tarelerulz> If you make home movie that is on a dvd recorder cam and you convert to say avi or ogg or what  doe when you put it back on a dvdr does it have to be 4.7 gb ?
[10:08] <b4l74z4r> anxiously awaiting x-fi drivers
[10:08] <hwilde> what is xfi ?
[10:08] <b4l74z4r> soundblaster x-fi
[10:08] <Dangermike> tarelerulz, no it doesnt have to be the full size of the dvd
[10:08] <Dangermike> tarelerulz, my "backups" of my movies are usually around 700mb but i still put them on a dvd
[10:09] <niketas> hwilde, XFI is a 10 gigabit per second chip-to-chip electrical interface specification defined as part of the XFP multi-source agreement. (c) Wiki
[10:09] <hwilde> ooo
[10:09] <hwilde> so it is faster than pci xpress ?
[10:09] <tarelerulz> Dangermike:  What if you wanted to play them back on normal dvd player ?
[10:09] <rnartos> how can I configure plone over apache2?
[10:09] <niketas> hwilde, I suppose so
[10:09] <rnartos> I mean the 8080 to 80
[10:09] <ere4si> niketas, I'm on my fluxbox box atm so can't explore for you - I remember there was an option but not the name
[10:10] <b4l74z4r> x-fi is a family of soundcards from creative
[10:10] <Dangermike> tarelerulz, your dvd player will need to support those codes if their avi. Its called raw format and its usually found in the user manual of the dvd player
[10:10] <Dangermike> tarelerulz, you could always convert to dvd format if it doesnt play raw format
[10:10] <niketas> ere4si, maybe you can say what I'm generally supposed to do?
[10:10] <Dangermike> but any newer dvd player will do so
[10:11] <MasterRat> any joydev experts about?
[10:11] <Dangermike> rnartos, you need to change the listening port
[10:11] <tyguaike> 有用LumaQQ的吗
[10:11] <rnartos> how?
[10:11] <rnartos> default is Listen 80
[10:11] <tyguaike> have use LumaQQ?
[10:11] <hwilde> rnartos, add another line that says  Listen 8080
[10:11] <ere4si> niketas, nope - but there is an option - I'll google it
[10:11] <niketas> Emmm... Sorry, bb evrybody
[10:11] <Dangermike> can you telnet localhost 80 and GET ?
[10:11] <rnartos> ok
[10:11] <tyguaike> 有中国的吗
[10:12] <hwilde> tyguaike, what language are you trying to speak here
[10:12] <ere4si> tyguaike, english
[10:12] <tyguaike> im is china
[10:12] <gerro> I get this error a lot on dmesg "eth0: phy reset until link is up" and I can only go to google.com while every other site doesn't work. resolv.conf has correct dns information and I can ping my router, strangely though I can't go to my routers ip address through the browser. I tried w3m and I could enter the login info for router but then nothing happened.
[10:12] <tyguaike> no english
[10:12] <ere4si> !ch
[10:12] <tyguaike> yes CH
[10:12] <tyguaike> you see
[10:12] <ere4si> !ch
[10:13] <Dangermike> rnartos, http://docs.neuroinf.de/PloneBook/ch2.rst  read the linux/mac section
[10:13] <tarelerulz> That part about converting to .avi to dvd vob or what every .  Surely they would not need to take up 4.7 gb . So you could put couple of your home movie on there ?
[10:13] <tyguaike> yes ch langua
[10:13] <_ruben> !cn
[10:13] <tyguaike> 有用LumaQQ?
[10:13] <hwilde> !xinoise
[10:13] <hwilde> where is the bot at
[10:13] <Dangermike> tarelerulz, it can if you add menus and such but it doesnt have to be the full size of the dvd its the format that your dvd player is going to care about not the size of the file
[10:13] <Irfan> hai
[10:13] <tyguaike> have use LumaQQ for ubuntu?
[10:13]  * MasterRat points at ubotu
[10:13] <ere4si> thnx _ruben
[10:14] <_ruben> some1 needs to do some cpr on ubotu
[10:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ch - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:14] <Dangermike> heh
[10:14] <ubotu> For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[10:14] <tyguaike> ok
[10:14] <MasterRat> yah. what he said
[10:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xinoise - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:14] <Dangermike> lol

[10:16] <MasterRat> Dangermike: thought about that, but the joystick itself works fine...
[10:16] <userbn_> hsi
[10:16] <hwilde> MasterRat, I didn't know ubotu had a sense of humor like that lol
[10:16] <ere4si> Dangermike, use debian do you?
[10:16] <rnartos> can anyone help me on plone on apache
[10:16] <ubotu> Package/file joydev does not exist in gutsy
[10:16] <ubotu> Package pound-joystick-with-hammer does not exist in gutsy
[10:17] <ganesh> hello please , i created a livecd based on ubuntu ,but it is not working , i found the error it is due to aufs,
[10:18] <gerro> ganesh: is that a type of file system? try using ext2
[10:20] <fract^wizz> Is it worth upgrading to 7.10 ?
[10:20] <gerro> pretty much
[10:20] <Dangermike> i like it
[10:20] <rnartos> how can I forward 8080 request to 80 in apache??
[10:20] <gerro> martos: use loopback
[10:20] <ganesh> gerro, sorry some network problem
[10:21] <gerro> ganesh no prob me too can't figure out why my system only can go to google.com and keeps spitting out errors
[10:21] <swombat> My server is configured with the domain mydomain.com. However, the MX record points somewhere else (and mail from any other server works fine). Yet when I try to send a mail to something@mydomain.com from my server, it always gets swallowed and never arrives anywhere. What am I supposed to do to tell my server not to do that?
[10:22] <ganesh> gerro, edit your firefox
[10:22] <MasterRat> swombat: are you runnin local DNS?
[10:22] <gerro> ganesh: edit it how?
[10:22] <swombat> MasterRat: don't think so
[10:22] <rnartos> how can I check if mod_rewrite is working?
[10:23] <MasterRat> swombat: actually, more specifically... if you're using a mailserver to send to that domain, but the mailserver "knows" its responsible for that domain, its unlikely to send it anywhere
[10:23] <ganesh> gerro, edit->preference->save some page as your home page
[10:23] <MasterRat> swombat: other than to itself, of course.
[10:23] <swombat> MasterRat: that's what i thought - so how do I tell postfix to let my mails go? :-)
[10:23] <osfameron> hi - I've managed to disable my microphone
[10:23] <osfameron> can anyone tell me what the defaul sound settings are for Gutsy ?
[10:23] <MasterRat> swombat: go where? as far as its concerned... it owns that mail domain :/
[10:23] <gerro> ganesh: but how will that fix the problem?
[10:24] <Dangermike> osfameron, alsamixer
[10:24] <swombat> MasterRat: exactly. I want to tell it it doesn't own that domain as far as receiving mail is concerned
[10:24] <osfameron> I tried everything as "Auto detect" or "ALSA" but I'm still getting nothing in sound recorder or skype call test
[10:24] <osfameron> Dangermike: ok, I've used alsamixer-gui
[10:24] <Dangermike> is it unmuted
[10:24] <Dangermike> and tured up
[10:24] <Dangermike> turned*
[10:24] <MasterRat> swombat: then... why run it at all? I suppose you could configure it to be responsible for a bogus domain, but then no mail sent to you will arive.
[10:24] <swombat> I want to send mail
[10:24] <swombat> that's why i have postfix on there
[10:24] <osfameron> Dangermike: which?  I have Capture and Capture1 turned up and unmuted
[10:25] <MasterRat> swombat: are you spamming? /:)
[10:25] <swombat> ...
[10:25] <MasterRat> BURN!
[10:25] <MasterRat> !info pitchforks-and-flaming-tar
[10:25] <ubotu> Package pitchforks-and-flaming-tar does not exist in gutsy
[10:25] <swombat> yes, I need to send a hundred bajillion emails about a new viagra recipe that also makes you rich, immortal, and attractive to young nymphomaniacs
[10:25] <ere4si> swombat, might be a question for #ubuntu-server :)
[10:25] <swombat> :-P
[10:26] <ganesh> gerro, you told that firefox is always going to google.com, remove the page from preference, then it wont go to google.com
[10:26] <gerro> ganesh: no I said I can "only" go to google.com any other place won't load
[10:26] <MasterRat> swombat: just remove whatever domain it thinks its responsible for... should still be able to send... I think. specifically how to do that, I dunno
[10:26] <swombat> hmm
[10:26] <osfameron> Dangermike: also, if I set the internal mic volume up, that appears to be a monitor (so I can hear myself typing/speaking as I do it, but it doesn't record... at least I know the mic is still working...)
[10:27] <Dangermike> osfameron, mic boost seems to help mine enough to make it sound like my mike is not working
[10:27] <MasterRat> but yah, go try a server app. the only mailserver I'm familiar with is exchange
[10:27] <hwilde> swombat, on your server what do you get if you type "nslookup yourdomain.com"
[10:27] <MasterRat> err, server chan, not app
[10:27] <Dangermike> osfameron, i dont know about recording i dont really use mine but i can hear myself in the speakers :\
[10:27] <swombat> answer points to self
[10:27] <swombat> but does not include MX records
[10:27] <ganesh> gerro, ok you do one thing , remove the firefox completely & reinstall it again
[10:27] <osfameron> Dangermike: hehe
[10:28] <MasterRat> swombat: which would indicate you *are* running DNS, more than likely
[10:28] <illethal> Hey does anyone know how I could get Thunar on Gnome?
[10:28] <Dangermike> gerro use diff nameservers like opendns
[10:28] <swombat> the server giving the answer is not self
[10:28] <Dangermike> nameserver 208.067.222.222
[10:28] <Dangermike> nameserver 208.67.220.220
[10:28] <swombat> it's another one on the local network though
[10:28]  * osfameron will try rebooting and see if that helps...
[10:28] <burkmat> Auto fs-check on boot gave me a nasty error, and it's saying "Inode 1119915 has illegal block(s). Clear<y>?" - I guess I'll have to answer yes, but I'm wondering: What will this do to my fs?
[10:28] <MasterRat> swombat - nslookup <enter> set type=mx <enter> domainname.com
[10:29] <swombat> it has the correct MX there
[10:29] <hwilde> swombat, now what if you tracepath
[10:29] <Dangermike> gerro, you can edit /etc/resolv.conf but make a backup or comment out your other entries see if it doesnt help
[10:29] <swombat> tracepath??
[10:29] <hwilde> swombat, tracepath yourdomain.com
[10:30] <gerro> Dangermike: resolv.conf has the correct info, I think the problem is my ethernet card doesn't support ipv6 at all
[10:30] <Dangermike> :/
[10:30] <gerro> Dangermike: but I remove support for that everytime anyway so I shouldn't have bothered troubling you
[10:30] <Dangermike> couldnt tell 'ya my isp doesnt support it
[10:31] <swombat> hwilde: you mean traceroute?
[10:31] <gerro> Dangermike: even if you don't use it, its on by default and bugs most every network able device
[10:31] <Dangermike> ah
[10:32] <hwilde> swombat, no I mean tracepath just type it in already man
[10:32] <swombat> yeah, that wasn't found
[10:32] <swombat> it's not on apt either
[10:32] <hwilde> /usr/bin/tracepath
[10:32] <Dangermike> ^
[10:32] <cpk1> any tips on figuring out a kernel panic "not syncing: fatal exception in interrupt"
[10:32] <Dangermike> i have it
[10:32] <hwilde> locate tracepath
[10:32] <Dangermike> which tracepath
[10:33] <swombat> hwilde: only got traceroute there
[10:33] <hwilde> what distribution are you running man
[10:33] <swombat> ah crap. this one's a debian box.
[10:33] <swombat> lol. sorry
[10:33] <osfameron> gah, this is utterly broken.  The volume control is supposed to control PCM, but my volume buttons are affecting the microphone monitor volume instead
[10:33] <hwilde> swombat, anyways traceroute it or whatever
[10:33] <tarelerulz> Have any of you ever try to get a Yahoo linux client that did audio and video ? I  found gyachI ,but it ask for really old version of alsa . Should I install the old version or would that miss my system up ?
[10:34] <hwilde> tarelerulz, pidgin works pretty good
[10:34] <swombat> 1 hop
[10:34] <swombat> straight to self
[10:34] <swombat> which is expected for mydomain.com
[10:35] <fract^wizz> How do i show the list of people in the channel in XChat ? :O
[10:35] <danand> tarelerulz - probably not a good idea to install the old version of alsa. you will run into loads of problems
[10:35] <tarelerulz> hwilde:  if text world that is great idea ,but I would like to use voice ? Is a update client that would do that?
[10:35] <Dangermike> view->userlist?
[10:35] <fract^wizz> Dangermike, i dont have that
[10:35] <Dangermike> its in XChat 2.8.4
[10:36] <fract^wizz> Dangermike, so i have to like, update it ?
[10:36] <Dangermike> i suppose if you wanted to..otherwise im sure its in the settings somewhere
[10:37] <Dangermike> i dont recall using versions without that setting so i couldn't tell 'ya where at it is but its probably worth updating if you cant find it
[10:37] <fract^wizz> Ive been looking around for a while now, but i guess ill find it, it would be kinda weird otherwise ^
[10:37] <jKrypt> hello all
[10:38] <burkmat> What effect can a .cso file have on a system? It seems that by simply putting it in ~/ I managed to screw up the fs and had to fix it. Seems very strange.
[10:38] <nraic> I have been able to install previous versions of ubuntu before. I am having problems with 7.10, X seems to go out of range for my monitor, I get no signal.
[10:38] <nraic> I have got a 8500GT card
[10:39] <Dangermike> nraic, what are you using as the driver and have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[10:40] <nraic> Dangermike, I am just using the boot cd, how can I do that command from a boot cd?
[10:40] <Dangermike> you can try to switch to another terminal
[10:41] <Mr_Awesome> how can i make the ls comand always mean ls -B ?
[10:42] <hwilde> alias
[10:42] <hwilde> Mr_Awesome, in your .bashrc file there are some examples for ls

[10:49] <NineTeen67Comet> Hi all .. fired up a new box tossed Ubuntu Server 8.04 Alpha5 (AMD64bit) and it is not playing nice with bash_completion. It'll finish out directories (sudo /etc/apac<tab>) but not applications .. like sudo aptit<tab> inst<tab> smartmo<tab> .. it just beeps.
[10:50] <Impy^> Dangermike when i try move wallpapers to that directory it says i don't have permission to write to this folder?
[10:50] <dgjones> NineTeen67Comet, you might stand a better chance of getting a response in #ubuntu+1, thats were support is for Hardy, there won't be as many people there, but they'll be using/testing Hardy
[10:51] <Dangermike> Impy^, then sudo its owned by root

[11:01] <Dangermike> Jonathan_Ellis, if you get an error while trying startx reconfigure x by running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg use the vesa drivers just to see if you can startx

Unexpected inconsistency; run fsck manually. fsck died with exit status 4. Please repair the file system manually". Last time I started in recovery mode it asked this and I ran fsck I thought it had fixed everything. I will try fsck again
[11:03] <Echoside> Are you useing the proprietary drivers from nvidia or the open source drivers?

[11:07] <Dangermike> TheOomph, beyond me man
[11:07] <eltopo> Hi
[11:07] <Dangermike> david_ google
[11:07] <dgjones> david_, off topic for here, but www.puppylinux.org
[11:08] <david_> yes i've tried that already
[11:08] <Echoside> david_: Yeah a bit off topic, but you can also check out http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=puppy
[11:08] <jtravnick> whats a good player I can use to set up a play list of my music?
[11:08] <eltopo> private
[11:08] <erUSUL> !player
[11:08] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs
[11:08] <goniochromism> hiho, anyone know what's the deal with swap partitions?
[11:09] <Wobbley> hmmm
[11:09] <Dangermike> jtravnick, i prefer Audacious
[11:09] <ere4si> david_, the site had a virus attack - wait a day or two
[11:09] <TheOomph> Dangermike, When I try to Start the live CD I see this:http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/2679/error001dz5.jpg
[11:09] <Echoside> jtravnick, I like rhythmbox myself.
[11:09] <Wobbley> gonio just search the internett
[11:09] <goniochromism> on my xp machine i got 2GB of RAM, so I disable swapping - and I almost never run out of space..
[11:09] <Wobbley> gives the best explenation
[11:09] <david_> o
[11:09] <Wobbley> what a swap is
[11:09] <david_> R U SERIOUS??
[11:09] <goniochromism> is that viable under linux as well?
[11:09] <erUSUL> goniochromism: you need at least one  with the size of you ram (at least) to suspend to disk
[11:09] <ere4si> david_, there is a #puppylinux
[11:09] <ere4si> yep
[11:10] <Wobbley> double the ram size is what people take usually
[11:10] <Wobbley> although i dont wanna spend 8gbs on swap T,T
[11:10] <mohamed__> hello all of you
[11:10] <jtravnick> Echoside, i tried rhythmbox but getting an error in there and its saying its a bug
[11:10] <Echoside> david, You can also check out http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=puppy if www.puppylinux.org is down.
[11:10] <goniochromism> but why would I "want" to be swapping?
[11:10] <mohamed__> someone help me out to figure out the external hdd problem
[11:10] <Wobbley> no no gonio
[11:10] <Jonathan_Ellis> ere4si: I just discovered that! It asked do I want to continue and I said no. However, e2fsck is now saying "/dev/sdb5 contains a file system with errors, check forced. Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks and sizes. Inode 1130056 has illegal block(s). Clear?" Should I respond yes or no?
[11:10] <goniochromism> it just takes away CPU and I/O cycles and
[11:10] <Wobbley> swap is something the system uses
[11:10] <Wobbley> windows has it aswell
[11:10] <goniochromism> yea but in windows you can disabble it
[11:10] <Echoside> jtravnick, run rhythmbox from a terminal and post the error.
[11:10] <erUSUL> goniochromism: what you want is irrelevan what matter is what the kernel wants or decides or needs
[11:10] <goniochromism> runs much faster that way
[11:10] <jtravnick> Dangermike,  is there a site for that one so i can check it out?
[11:11] <Wobbley> like eru put it ØP
[11:11] <TheOomph> how to fix my problem?
[11:11] <ere4si> Jonathan_Ellis, yes - is the response ther
[11:11] <ere4si> *e
[11:11] <Wobbley> i dun know i keep swap one cause try not to tinker too much in windows xP
[11:11] <Dangermike> jtravnick, http://audacious-media-player.org/
[11:11] <david_> .....yeh
[11:12] <david_> i see no download
[11:12] <TheOomph> :'(
[11:12] <Jonathan_Ellis> ere4si: Thanks. Do I keep responding yes to the remaining problems? "too many illegal blocks in inode 1130056" I dont want to shag the filesystem any worse than it is already
[11:12] <LukeL> Wobbley, google this "ubuntu swappiness" then make a small swap partition and make the value high so it hardly ever swaps
[11:12] <Dangermike> TheOomph, again beyond me i dont know why your getting stacktrace etc.
[11:12] <goniochromism> it's just that I don't want to dedicate any space (let alone a whole disk partition) to swapping when I don't really need it..
[11:12] <Wobbley> oh i wasent asking luke gonio was :P
[11:12] <Wobbley> thanks though! <3
[11:13] <jtravnick> Echoside, not showing an error but i know its something about import error
[11:13] <mohamed__> hello iclebyte
[11:13] <LukeL> ah sorry, goniochromism look at my message to wobbley
[11:13] <ere4si> Jonathan_Ellis, never had this prob - if I have issues I boot the live cd and run fsck from it
[11:13] <Echoside> david_, http://iso.linuxquestions.org/puppy-linux/puppy-linux-3.01/
[11:13] <goniochromism> ah ok luke will check it out
[11:13] <Wobbley> anyways i got a question
[11:13] <Wobbley> how much does swapping effect it?
[11:13] <Wobbley> are we like talking 1% or 10%?
[11:13] <dgjones> goniochromism, swap only gets used when needed though, do you use suspend? you'd need swap then to suspend to disk
[11:14] <Echoside> jtravnick, So, the program is running just haveing a problem importing your songs?
[11:14] <Wobbley> (since we started the swapping discussin)
[11:14] <LukeL> hard drives are much much slower than ram, so if your system has to swap memory all the time it will be much slower
[11:14] <willscarlet^^> im having trouble talking to my bluetooth phone, when I know my PC is bluetooth enabled.    Is there some bluetooth ubuntu software I should have installed ??
[11:14] <jtravnick> Echoside, yep
[11:14] <LukeL> however systems with low amounts of ram need swap to run more than 1 program etc
[11:14] <Wobbley> so wait, i am choking my system by turning swap one? :S
[11:14] <Wobbley> i got 4gigs xP
[11:14] <Echoside> jtravnick, did you install the mp3 codecs (assuming your trying to import mp3s)
[11:14] <ere4si> Wobbley, I turn swap off - have 1G mem so it wasn't used
[11:14] <goniochromism> I don't really know about the speed increase, but when I hear me HD - I can be sure it's not because of swapping ;)
[11:15] <Hamidreza> hi hello
[11:15] <Hamidreza> please help to Me 1
[11:15] <LukeL> well, you may want to look at that link as well.. the swapiness value can be used to warrent when the system swaps
[11:15] <goniochromism> windows swaps when *required*, but it also swaps when it *thinks* it's useful..
[11:15] <LukeL> people with A LOT of ram that don't run a million programs can use a very high swapiness
[11:15] <Echoside> jtravnick, They dont come pre installed. Try useing Synaptic and searching for Rhythembox, and looking for a package relating to mp3s. (dont know the name off hand)
[11:15] <dgjones> !ask | Hamidreza
[11:15] <ubotu> Hamidreza: 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. :-)
[11:16] <Wobbley> what do you consider ALOT?
[11:16] <Wobbley> cause i tend to run like 10 program at once
[11:16] <LukeL> for desktops.. 1gb +
[11:16] <Wobbley> programs
[11:16] <LukeL> is quite a lot
[11:16] <jtravnick> Echoside, as far as i know i did im able to play them on totom
[11:16] <Wobbley> so with 4 gid i can turn it off in linux?
[11:16] <Wobbley> what if i decide to use wine though?
[11:16] <Wobbley> still wont need it?
[11:16] <Dangermike> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[11:17] <Wobbley> oh cool thanks mike

[11:17] <Dangermike> bluez i believe is the package

[11:37] <doccae> Dangermike, no, but i'm wondering why
[11:37] <arthur_8200> @geirha should I only change the value to default?
[11:38] <Echoside> jtravnick, What is the exact error its throwing out?
[11:38] <arthur_8200> (false)
[11:38] <ere4si> jtravnick, what happens if you browse to your mp3 folder and click an mp3?
[11:38] <Dangermike> unless its in your path, if it is  you shouldnt be using ./, you need to be in that directory
[11:38] <pvh_sa|wrk> hi there... i got 4 workspaces on my ubuntu - but when i go to the settings for keyboard shortcuts, it only lets me set shortcuts for switch to workspace 1 or 2 - 3 and 4 aren't listen. any idea how i can change this??
[11:39] <jtravnick> ere4si, they play but whaty i was wanting was to set something up so it would take random songs and play without me having to go in and click on them
[11:39] <Dangermike> pvh_sa|wrk, i use ccsm and change keyboard layout from there
[11:39] <arthur_8200> Ok I will just try that... thank you
[11:40] <arthur_8200> (im restarting now)
[11:40] <pvh_sa|wrk> Dangermike, ccsm
[11:40] <geirha> arthur_8200: it should be set to false ...
[11:40] <pvh_sa|wrk> what's that?
[11:40] <Dangermike> do you have compiz installed?
[11:40] <ere4si> jtravnick, you can load files into r/box and then click the shuffle button(I think it's called) then play - click file in the top menu to load folders/files
[11:41] <pvh_sa|wrk> Dangermike, yes, and its active
[11:41] <bimboclaudio> ksin.net
[11:41] <Dangermike> okay its the compizconfig settings manager
[11:41] <foobar> how ubuntu does to have the firmwares of acx100 in the distro if the license of these firmwares doesn't allow redistribution ?
[11:41] <jtravnick> Echoside, i get "Problem occurred without error being set. This is a bug in Rhythmbox or GStreamer"
[11:41] <foobar> ubuntu has any special-separate license with Texas Instruments that allows that ?
[11:42] <Jonathan_Ellis> I am trying to boot from the livecd using safe graphics mode but it hangs at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK]". I am doing this so as to be able to run fsck. Any ideas?
[11:43] <jtravnick> ere4si, the problem with doing that is have to many songs to go through was looking for something that would just go to my music folders and say hey lets play this one now
[11:43] <ere4si> Jonathan_Ellis, has it gone past the login
[11:43] <Dangermike> Jonathan_Ellis, can you change to console?
[11:44] <afief> Jonathan_Ellis, well if it actually hangs you're in trouble... you might wanna try a more ummm... minimal distro like slackware which only loads the minimum(doesn't even mount your HDD) and try to boot that
[11:44] <Jonathan_Ellis> ere4si: No it hasnt got to the login. Dangermike: How do I switch to console?
[11:44] <ere4si> jtravnick, r/box lets you create a playlist - you won't get what you want without doing something to help
[11:44] <Dangermike> Jonathan_Ellis, Ctrl-Alt-F2
[11:44] <Dangermike> f3 f4 etc
[11:44] <jtravnick> Echoside, could it have something with how i have my music set up? what I have in the music folder is a thrue z than in like a i have folders for each artist
[11:45] <brandonc503> hey all. i only have selection of 800 600 and 640 480 for resolution.. ive had more.. friend had me edit file before but i dont remember. any help?
[11:45] <ganesh> Dangermike, it is i386 machine
[11:45] <Echoside> jtravnick, It shouldent, It should search all recursive folders.
[11:45] <csaba_> right now pdf files are associated with the default document viewer.. how do i associate them with acroread?
[11:45] <afief> brandonc503, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, adding them is quite easy IIRC
[11:46] <jtravnick> Echoside, k thats what i thought
[11:46] <ere4si> jtravnick, click view - you may not have all r/box windows showing
[11:46] <Dangermike> csaba_, you should be able to right click the file ->properties ->open with
[11:47] <csaba_> yes
[11:47] <csaba_> but i want it to open with double-click
[11:47] <jtravnick> ere what is happening is im getting an import error even before i try to play
[11:47] <Dangermike> csaba_, if you choose the other option and close it will stay
[11:47] <Dangermike> i just changed mine and it worked
[11:48] <dooglus_> Frogzoo: huh?
[11:48] <AutoMatriX> hi folks, I'm looking for an easy-to-use- EN/FR/GE translation dictionary .... any hints ?
[11:48] <armenb> hm.
[11:48] <csaba> ok fixed it thanks :)
[11:48] <armenb> im having a problem upgrading from dapper to feisty.
[11:49] <Jangari> google has your answers, AutoMatriX
[11:49] <dooglus_> armenb: you're supposed to upgrade via edgy
[11:49] <armenb> im getting a dependency problem with metacity that wont seem to go away no matter what combination of aptitude, apt-get -f install and apt-get -u dist-upgrade i run.
[11:49] <armenb> any suggestions?
[11:49] <dooglus_> armenb: you're supposed to upgrade via edgy
[11:49] <armenb> edgy?
[11:49] <dooglus_> armenb: you're supposed to upgrade via edgy
[11:50] <Dangermike> !edgy
[11:50] <ubotu> Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - Downloading: http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/6.10/ - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes
[11:50] <armenb> hm.
[11:50] <dooglus_> if comes between dapper and feisty
[11:50] <dooglus_> (like how 'e' comes between 'd' and 'f')
[11:50] <armenb> ah.
[11:50] <armenb> i see.
[11:50] <magnetron> armenb: if you upgrade ubuntu, you upgrade to the next version in order
[11:50] <AutoMatriX> Jangari, if I was 'pleased' soooooomuch with google's answers, do you think I would bother the comunity ?
[11:50] <armenb> so. is there a way i can effectively revert back to dapper easily?
[11:50] <brandonc503> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58355/ here is my xorg.conf file.. what do i edit to get more resolutions, i only have 800 600 and 640 480
[11:50] <dooglus_> armenb: no, you're screwed I think
[11:51] <Echoside> jtravnick, I'm looking for possible solutions.
[11:51] <armenb> heh.
[11:51] <armenb> :-(
[11:51] <ganesh> Dangermike, how to make work "aufs" in livecd
[11:51] <dooglus_> armenb: wasn't it clear that there was a step missing between 'dapper' and 'feisty'?
[11:51] <armenb> no.
[11:51] <magnetron> fixres | brandonc503
[11:51] <Dangermike> ganesh, i dont think you can unless you rebuild your kernel and snapshot it the only thing i could disk up was just talk about changing it out.
[11:51] <dooglus_> armenb: ok, so maybe it's not clear from the names, but it's pretty obvious from the version numbers - there's clearly a step between 6.04 and 7.04 isn't there?
[11:51] <magnetron> !fixres | brandonc503
[11:51] <ubotu> brandonc503: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:52] <jtravnick> Echoside, k im starting to wonder if maybe its the files themselfs as I do have 11 songs that will play with no problems
[11:52] <brandonc503> magnetron thanks
[11:52] <Echoside> jtravnick, Are the files on a difforent partition then where Ubuntu is installed, in other words, are you trying to import songs from a ntfs drive?
[11:52] <dooglus_> armenb: anyway, even if the weird naming and numbering schemes didn't tip you off, surely the big warning when you tried to upgrade was enough to tip you off?
[11:52] <magnetron> cheers brandonc503
[11:52] <Dangermike> lol
[11:53] <armenb> i didn't see any such "big warning"
[11:53] <ganesh> Dangermike, i compiled the aufs with kernel which i compiled
[11:53] <jtravnick> Echoside, no there on this partition in my music folder
[11:53] <dooglus_> armenb: oh, that's right.  there isn't one.  but this is "linux for human beings" isn't it?  are you saying you're not human?
[11:53] <armenb> heh.
[11:54] <ganesh> Dangermike, i am not enaling the aufs option while compilng the kernel
[11:54] <armenb> well, i may not be too screwed.
[11:54] <jtravnick> fact ubuntu is the only thing on this hard drive fedora is on its own hard drive and if i want something from there i boot to it
[11:54] <armenb> i'm getting somewhere, at least...
[11:54] <Echoside> jtravnick, Maybe you should try something like xmms for your music. See if that has the same problem Rthyembox is.
[11:54] <dooglus_> about 10% of the time, when I boot, after about a minute of booting, fsck'ing, etc, the screen goes black and the capslock and shiftlock LEDs flash on and off; everything else is locked up.
[11:54] <dooglus_> what's that about?
[11:54] <ganesh> Dangermike, after the installation of new kernel i coplied the aufs for that respective compiled  kernel
[11:55] <Echoside> jtravnick, Should be just sudo apt-get install xmms
[11:55] <armenb> the release after feisty - is it still under development?
[11:55] <jtravnick> Echoside, sounds like it
[11:55] <magnetron> armenb: no
[11:55] <armenb> so dapper is pretty old then, right?
[11:55] <Dangermike> ganesh, you may need to snapshot your system into a livecd so you have support for aufs
[11:55] <dooglus_> armenb: the 5.04 in its version number means 2005, April
[11:56] <Echoside> jtravnick, If xmms has a problem importing and playing, then there is defenatly some other problem going on then the music players you are useing.
[11:56] <dooglus_> armenb: oh, it's 6.04?
[11:56] <magnetron> dooglus_: yep
[11:56] <dooglus_> version numbers are Year.Month anyway
[11:56] <magnetron> dooglus_: or 6.06.2 rather
[11:56] <armenb> dooglus_ how do i tell?
[11:56] <ganesh> Dangermike, ok i give you the snapshot now
[11:56] <Chris|> i could of swore that drapper edgy was 6.06?
[11:57] <jtravnick> Echoside, thats why i was first wondering about a good player was thinking i had a problem
[11:57] <dooglus_> armenb: "lsb_release -a" in a terminal will tell you
[11:57] <Chris|> edgy i mean
[11:57] <magnetron> Chris|: they are two different releases
[11:57] <Dangermike> ganesh, i wont be able to test it you may want to check reconstructor.aperantis.com to see if reconstructor will do it for you...i cannot access any browser on my system they all seg fault (serious i have 2 bug reports for firefox and epiphany) or i would check the website
[11:57] <dooglus_> Chris|: edgy is 6.10
[11:57] <Dangermike> ganesh, i dont have aufs so i cannot test your snapshot if you have already made one :\ sorry
[11:58] <dooglus_> Chris|: dapper was 6.06, right - it was delayed 2 months to make it more stable :)
[11:58] <peter77> Is anyone else here who runs Eclipse 3.3 in ubuntu having problems everytime a plugin is installed inside eclipse?
[11:58] <Chris|> ok, i always wondered about that
[11:58] <brandonc503> magnetron heya still didnt work... any other advice
[11:58] <Dangermike> !dapper
[11:58] <ubotu> Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details.
[11:58] <dooglus_> about 10% of the time, when I boot, after about a minute of booting, fsck'ing, etc, the screen goes black and the capslock and shiftlock LEDs flash on and off; everything else is locked up.  is there some way to prevent this?
[11:58] <Chris|> i was thinking too fast wheni was typing ;p
[11:59] <ganesh> Dangermike, ok , then to whom can i send this report
[11:59] <magnetron> brandonc503: did you restart the X server after you did your config?
[11:59] <foobar> anybody knows how ubuntu does to include restricted firmwares that are not allowed to redistribution ?
[11:59] <brandonc503> magetron well the file says 1024 768 but i dont have that selection in preferences. i typed that thing in terminal and computer did somthing and restarted.
[11:59] <magnetron> foobar: they do? please explain
[11:59] <Dangermike> :\ ganesh honestly I am not too sure, you may want to start a thread on the forums and host the file with rapid share to see if others can try it out/fix it or look through the forums for any type of fix
[12:00] <foobar> magnetron: for example the acx100 firmwares
[12:00] <ganesh> Dangermike, thanks
[12:00] <magnetron> brandonc503: did you add the vert refresh rates and horiz sync, as the page suggests?
[12:01] <foobar> magnetron: i have asked on #acx100 and these firmwares are not allowed at all to be redistributed
[12:01] <brandonc503> magetron have no idea what that would look like.. let me google some
[12:02] <Dangermike> brandonc503, if you haven't tried yet you can easily reconfigure x sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg just switch to a console. use simple for the monitor selection and choose the size you can always tweak later
[12:02] <magnetron> foobar: according to their web page, it's released under a BSD license
[12:02] <pbne04> how do I remove a directory from the PATH?
[12:03] <MasterRat> poll : which is faster for everyday use on a single drive - ReiserFS or ext3?
[12:03] <erUSUL> pbne04: redefine the PATH variable
[12:03] <magnetron> MasterRat: ext3 works, which i would call a plus
[12:03] <DuClare> export PATH=whateveryouwanted
[12:03] <foobar> magnetron: the firmwares ? well, is well known that these firmwares are not able to be redistributed, since everytime (debian dont distribute them too) and that's what ppl says in #acx100
[12:04] <erawfish_> foobar: imho it's more than a grey area that. however: evern #acx100 links in the topic to the firmware on the git tree...
[12:04] <erawfish_> and the acx website distributes firmware too. so it's very murky imho
[12:04] <arthur_8200> I have still got the problem with my Desktop... I can change the value with gconf-editor (apps --> nautilius --> preferences --> desktop is home dir) but it doesn't change anything.
[12:04] <brandonc503> how many kb  is 35 mb?
[12:04] <erUSUL> brandonc503: 35*1024
[12:04] <Dangermike> pbne04, another way to do it https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/3199
[12:04] <magnetron> brandonc503: 1 Mb is 1024 kb
[12:04] <ere4si> MasterRat, the diff is millisecs so - ext3 is stable
[12:05] <brandonc503> thanks
[12:05] <foobar> erawfish_: link is not the same that redistribute... ubuntu can redistribute them for example with a tool that downloads them via internet since the user agree with that... but not are allowed to redistribute them directly shared on the iso
[12:05] <phobos> hi all
[12:05] <erawfish_> foobar: the acx folks let you directly download firmware images from their serves
[12:05] <phobos> i have just installed ubuntu but my screensaver freezes after some seconds
[12:06] <miguel_c> Hi! I've a Nvidia 8600M GT and I've enabled the restricted drivers but the rendering is still kinda slow like watching youtube videos... does anyone knows how to get the apropriate driver?
[12:06] <arthur_8200> Is there a path to the desktop?
[12:06] <geirha> magnetron, brandonc503: actually, 1MB is 1000kB. 1MiB is 1024KiB though
[12:06] <Dangermike> !nvidia | miguel_c
[12:06] <ubotu> miguel_c: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:06] <foobar> erawfish_: of course, they allow to download them (if not, why there's firmwares to use ?), but not to redistribute them
[12:07] <Dangermike> arthur_8200, /home/user/Desktop  <thats the path to the desktop
[12:07] <arthur_8200> No it isn't
[12:07] <arthur_8200> Thats my problem
[12:07] <arthur_8200> it is /home/arthur
[12:07] <erawfish_> foobar: they are redistributing it themselves. they didn't make the firmware, it'S not their copyright
[12:07] <arthur_8200> Where can I change it?
[12:07] <erawfish_> foobar: so they and ubuntu both infringe if it's infringement
[12:07] <miguel_c> Dangermike: Thanks but, like I said, I'm already running those... but they are slow
[12:07] <magnetron> foobar: there seem to be two different drivers named acx100: http://www.ivor.it/wireless/acx.html and http://acx100.sourceforge.net/index.html
[12:08] <pbne04> thanks, I edited .bashrc, but is there no way to remove a folder from path via commandline?
[12:08] <miguel_c> I would like to know if there is another ones
[12:08] <miguel_c> at nvidia site i dont find the 8600 drivers
[12:09] <foobar> magnetron: driver is not the problem, the drivers are free... what is restricted are the firmwares (needed to make the card working with the driver)
[12:09] <phobos> with an ati 9600 i have just installed ubuntu but my screensaver freezes after some seconds
[12:09] <erawfish_> miguel_c: why do you think the ones on nvidia.com are faster? the ubuntu nvidia drivers are made by nvidia.com...
[12:09] <erawfish_> phobos: what driver?
[12:09] <phobos> ubuntu natives
[12:10] <foobar> magnetron: and... there are both the same driver (see  Update: The opensource drivers are now excellent and they can be found at acx100.sf.net)
[12:10] <erawfish_> phobos: that is no answer
[12:10] <miguel_c> I just wonder why it's rendering slow then... :|
[12:10] <Dangermike> arthur_8200, your answer was given already 05:35:47 <geirha>	arthur_8200: in gconf-editor : apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir
[12:10] <ere4si> phobos, did you use restricted manager to install he caeds drivers?
[12:10] <miguel_c> (in my perspective at least..)
[12:10] <erawfish_> miguel_c: pastebin glxinfo output
[12:10] <ere4si> *cards
[12:10] <phobos> ere4si, no
[12:10] <Dangermike> thats why
[12:11] <ere4si> phobos, it's in the menu
[12:11] <arthur_8200> @Dangermike ... I have done that... but it hasn't change anything... I can change those falue from true to false but it doesn't change it
[12:11] <Dangermike> :\ im not sure how you borked that one or how to fix it
[12:11] <phobos> ere4si,  i have simply ustalled ubuntu with no divers added
[12:11] <Dangermike> did you create your home dir on a diff partition?
[12:11] <Dangermike> arthur_8200,
[12:12] <arthur_8200> yeah
[12:12] <brandonc503> Dangermike what after the sudo dpkg thing
[12:12] <arthur_8200> My home directory is a own partition
[12:12] <Dangermike> startx brandonc503
[12:12] <ere4si> phobos, you need to install the cards driver with the restricted manager
[12:12] <erawfish_> or use the "ati" driver
[12:12] <arthur_8200> I have got a EXT3 Partition for / (10GB) and a EXT3 partition for /home (150GB)(
[12:12] <miguel_c> erawfish_ ok! my pc is slow even typing..
[12:13] <Dangermike> arthur_8200, you may be able to mkdir desktop then usermod -d /home/arthur/Desktop
[12:13] <phobos> erawfish_, i am using ati
[12:13] <brandonc503> Dangermike just startx in the terminal?
[12:13] <ZummiG777> Question: I'm attempting to preseed 7.10 but the auto partioner (which works under 6.06.1) gives me a "No root file system is defined" error.  I can't find much that is current about this error.  Any known workarounds?
[12:13] <erawfish_> phobos: then try fglrx as ere4si suggests
[12:13] <Dangermike> brandonc503, yeah or restart gdm
[12:13] <Dangermike> brandonc503, and switch to that console i think its f6 or f7
[12:13] <arthur_8200> @Dangermike Ok I will try this ... mkdir and usermod
[12:14] <phobos> erawfish_, i had other video problems. if i wanna to restore old video settings can i overwrite with my backupped xorg.conf?
[12:14] <Dangermike> set your main partition to the mount point of /
[12:14] <Dangermike> ZummiG777,
[12:15] <erawfish_> phobos: uninstall the fglrx too then if you go back
[12:15] <miguel_c> erawfish_:  http://pastebin.org/22327
[12:15] <phobos> erawfish_, ok tnx ill try ^^
[12:16] <brandonc503> so would restarting computer restart the graphics x thing i just went thru?
[12:16] <erawfish_> miguel_c: driver is OK. in a terminal run "sudo top" and press c ( lowercase c)
[12:16] <erawfish_> any process with lots of CPU used?
[12:16] <brandonc503> cause no my xorg file has other resolutions in it but still cant get to them
[12:16] <erawfish_> brandonc503: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:16] <erawfish_> no need to restart
[12:16] <Dangermike> brandonc503, you can hit control alt backspace to kill x and have it restart on its own
[12:16] <foobar> erawfish_: no... really, one thing is to download from the official site by yourself and other thing is to redistribute by a third party (ubuntu), sounds stupid but is how it works
[12:17]  * Dangermike spears foobar
[12:17] <erawfish_> foobar: acx.sourceforge,bet has the fimrware. and they are NOT copyright holders for it and have NO rights for the firmware
[12:17] <ZummiG777> Dangermike: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58356/ is my current configuration for partitioning based on the 6.06.1 install, I don't see a line to add a '/' to, is there a configuration line I should add?
[12:18] <miguel_c> erawfish_: it's firefox @ 147% cpu
[12:18] <miguel_c> lol
[12:18] <brandonc503> SWEET it worked you all rock

[12:31] <dgjones> brandonc503, does it say nvidia or nv for the driver though?
[12:31] <pbne04> I was so psyked when I got that card
[12:31] <Belisarivs> Hi all
[12:32] <Dangermike> BadRobot, that is probably off topic but http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
[12:32] <BadRobot> thx DangerMike

[12:33] <Belisarivs> I have problem. In poedit I have very light colour of text (not menus, I mean those strings to be translated). How can I darken it?
[12:33] <dgjones> brandonc503, ok its nvidia, try running glxgears from command line just to check whether 3d is working

[12:34] <dgjones> brandonc503, if you get the gears turning, you're 3d is set up ok
[12:34] <Jonathan_Ellis> ere4si and Dangermike: Thanks for the help. My computer is back up and running now!

[12:34] <{^SABUR^}> #ubuntu ?
[12:35] <Belisarivs> Aha. Changing theme and restarting poedit helped.
[12:35] <MasterRat> why does git want me to build a local repository... just pull the frackin file down.
[12:35] <brandonc503> dgjones what to i type in terminal to start gears?
[12:35] <Dangermike> lol
[12:35] <dgjones> brandonc503, "glxgears"
[12:35]  * MasterRat troutslaps the author for using such a method.
[12:35] <Dangermike> :O
[12:35] <Dangermike> you sir are shuned
[12:36] <Dangermike> bant
[12:36] <MasterRat> not linus... the guy who made the program I'm trying to get

[12:37] <pvh_sa|wrk> hi.... if a package i'm interested is listed as being in the 'hardy' repository... and i'm running gutsy - there's no way to install it, right?
[12:37] <Jack_Sparrow> pvh_sa|wrk, NOt safely no
[12:37] <Dangermike> pvh_sa|wrk, what package?
[12:37] <pvh_sa|wrk> Dangermike, bacula-console-qt
[12:38]  * osfameron usually just installs from source when there isn't a package... bah
[12:38] <dgjones> brandonc503, give me a minute, just need to look something up
[12:38] <pvh_sa|wrk> does ubuntu have anything approximating SRPMS? i.e. a source package i can build on my own machine, but have it install as a package...
[12:38] <pvh_sa|wrk> dgjones, yeah, i think i'll have to do that
[12:39] <MasterRat> this almost is not worth it. I'm a lazy one.
[12:39] <Jack_Sparrow> pvh_sa|wrk, Make a system backup before you get too creative
[12:40] <pvh_sa|wrk> Jack_Sparrow, yeah, thanks for the advice ;)
[12:41] <Jack_Sparrow> pvh_sa|wrk, One line in a cli now can save endless headaches later
[12:41] <foobar> erawfish_: see, i don't say that for "nothing", and im not understand how ubuntu does that that's supposed to be ilegal
[12:41] <MasterRat> this is starting to look like the git i'm trying to get is gone....
[12:41] <dgjones> brandonc503, looking at your xorg.conf, was that the full file, I don't see a "modules" section
[12:42] <Dangermike> pvh_sa|wrk, you can make your own deb if thats what your referring to
[12:42] <brandonc503> dgjones i also found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=434038&highlight=Xlib%3A+extension+GLX%26quot%3B+missing+ on+display+%26quot%3B%3A0.0.   the bottom messege looks interesting
[12:42] <brandonc503> dgjones what does the lack of modules mean?
[12:42] <st9_> pvh_sa|wrk: dpkg, alien
[12:42] <pvh_sa|wrk> Dangermike, is a "deb" basically a source plus build instructions?
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> a deb has compiled binaries pvh_sa|wrk
[12:43] <brandonc503> dgjones should i add the   Section "Extensions"
[12:43] <brandonc503>  Option "Composite" "Disable"
[12:43] <brandonc503> EndSection
[12:43] <MasterRat> heh... amazing what one can accomplish by reading the error message... *rolleyes*
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> then there are source packages with the source + instructions.
[12:43] <Jack_Sparrow> brandonc503, what card is that?
[12:43] <brandonc503> i have nvidia

[12:44] <Jack_Sparrow> brandonc503, thanks..
[12:45] <Jack_Sparrow> pvh_sa|wrk, Did check backports for your app
[12:45] <mysterycool> so i changed the resolution to something a reaaally big resolution and now my pc is messed up
[12:45] <mysterycool> i am online from the lame pc of my brother

[12:45] <mawanda> hello
[12:45] <dgjones> brandonc503, i'm not on my home machine, but that has NVidia Geforce2go which is a fairly similar card with the same memory etc, i know desktop effects will work once glx is setup and xserver-xgl is installed
[12:46] <mawanda> abos
[12:46] <Jack_Sparrow> MasterRat, Please stop with the commentary.. If you have a question please ask it
[12:46] <Roy_> I hate software just connecting to servers and channels without notice

[12:47] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, No, that lets you manually enter your card info.  to get basic gui   select vesa as your card 1024 max res and use tab to accept all defaults

[12:49] <numpty> xen on gutsy: segfaults on me. Plus I can't install ubuntu-xen-desktop. Suggestions?
[12:49] <foobar> Jack_Sparrow: im asking why ubuntu are redistributing ilegally firmwares that are not able to be redistributed
[12:49] <foobar> Jack_Sparrow: like the acx100 onees
[12:49] <MasterRat> anyone have some joydev experience? My gamepad is detected on usb and shows up in /dev/input/js0. jstest shows all the axis and buttons, but does not respond to command input.
[12:50] <Dangermike> ndlovu, what kind of card?
[12:50] <foobar> MasterRat: ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js0
[12:50] <dgjones> brandonc503, i'm struggling trying to help because i'm on the wrong machine
[12:50] <Jack_Sparrow> foobar, I was not under the impression that they were doing anything illegal.  Restricted as in the source code not being available  is a different matter.
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> MasterRat,  what do you mean by command input? a lot of games need to be configured to access the  proper (changed  some time ago) place.
[12:51] <ndlovu> Dangermike, it's an Intel 945GM - according to Intel it's supported (http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel945gm/sb/CS-021517.htm)
[12:51] <foobar> Jack_Sparrow: no, the firmwares are restrited to be REDISTRIBUTED
[12:51] <ndlovu> Dangermike, but not necessarily by the linux driver I suppose
[12:51] <Jack_Sparrow> foobar, I suggest you bring it up in the #Ubuntu-offtopic room..   this is the first I have heard of it.
[12:51] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: it says tha command dplg-reconfigure was not founbd
[12:52] <ere4si> I thought firmware was embedded on the device - drivers are diffwerent
[12:52] <mysterycool> *found
[12:52] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure
[12:52] <mysterycool> :'(
[12:52] <foobar> Jack_Sparrow: this is not offtopic at all, is a thing related directly with ubuntu
[12:52] <mysterycool> i am at root
[12:52] <mysterycool> :S
[12:52] <MasterRat> Dr_Willis: jstest lets you specify the exact /dev/input/js0 (for instance) and reports status on button (on/off) when pressed. It worked once...
[12:52] <mysterycool> is it dpKg??
[12:52] <Jack_Sparrow> foobar, It is NOT related to support and is offtopic in this room
[12:52] <mysterycool> sec
[12:52] <dgjones> foobar, its not a support problem though
[12:53] <foobar> what support ? im not asking for support
[12:53] <Jack_Sparrow> exactly
[12:53] <foobar> im saying that ubuntu has the acx100 firmwares included in the *modules*restricted* package directly on the ISO
[12:53] <MasterRat> foobar: no change
[12:53] <foobar> and this is NOT legal
[12:53] <Dangermike> your questing legality not asking for support
[12:53] <brandonc503> dgjones thats okay i appreciate it im reading alot too
[12:53] <foobar> because these firmwares not are allowed to be redistributed
[12:53] <Jack_Sparrow> foobar, I understand what you are saying and telling you this is the wrong channel to discuss it
[12:53] <Dangermike> ndlovu, i dont know much about intel cards
[12:54] <foobar> i just want to know HOW ubuntu does that in a legal way... if he does
[12:54] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: it now asks for xserver on driver
[12:54] <Dangermike> wtfux
[12:54] <mysterycool> jack
[12:54] <Dangermike> "ITS NOT LEGAL" your a dumbass
[12:54] <foobar> Jack_Sparrow: i think that *-offtopic is not the good channel also
[12:54] <ndlovu> Dangermike, no problem
[12:54] <dgjones> brandonc503, if you're still on line in about 5 hours, i'll have a look on my laptop with the geforce2go card and pastebin my xorg so you can see what settings i've got
[12:54] <vallhalla82> what it the best alturnative to cuebase ?
[12:54] <Jack_Sparrow> foobar, Please stop with this discussion
[12:54] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: shall i put vesa or vga? (it has many options)

[12:55] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, vesa
[12:55] <MasterRat> vallhalla82: umm, it was a joke my friend :|
[12:55] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: ty
[12:55] <vallhalla82> ah lol
[12:57] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: it asks for ammount of memory to be used for the memory card (in kb)
[12:57] <brandonc503> dgjones what was that gthing gears?
[12:57] <Dangermike> it shows 3d rendering
[12:57] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, I said earlier... use the tab key and bypass all other user entry except setting max res to 1024
[12:57] <visik7> what's the best player to view full hd divx video under ubuntu ? mplayer xine and gstreamer and vlc all have low frame rate
[12:58] <mysterycool> k thanks :D
[12:58] <Dangermike> brandonc503, man glxgears
[12:58] <dgjones> brandonc503, it just displays a moving 3d graphic

[12:58] <brandonc503> i see gears
[12:58] <brandonc503> weeee

[12:59] <stevecasper> ive lost all my top toolbars......its just not there? any1 have an idea how i can get it back?
[12:59] <Dangermike> stevecasper, open terminal and type in metacity
[12:59] <brandonc503> said composit extension not available but took setting
[13:00] <Jack_Sparrow> stevecasper, gtk-window-decorator --replace
[13:00] <brandonc503> oh no the settings did not take
[13:00] <Dangermike> brandonc503, run glxgears -info and paste bin your output
[13:00] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: ok finished, now it returned to the black screen with the commands etc...
[13:00] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: what shall i do now?
[13:00] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, restart

[13:03] <DASPRiD> iter: first 280 gb still running :&/
[13:03] <dgjones> brandonc503, also i think you'll need to do "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl" and restart X before desktop effects will run, thats what I needed with my geforce2go

[13:03] <karuna_bdc> what are GTK+ engines?

[13:06] <ConstyXIV> if you've never done GUI programming before, and you know python, should you start with Qt, GTK+, or something else?
[13:07] <dda> how to know what parameters can a kernel module accept?
[13:07] <DASPRiD> ConstyXIV, wxPython
[13:07] <simion314> if you have an old version off ubuntu(like 6.06) can you get some applications from 7.10 repositories with apt? it would be nice if you can add the 7.10 repositories somewere and use apt-get install program -use_the_newer_repositories and you can get install that program and it's dependencies
[13:07] <doondoon900> It depends on what you are doing some apps like gimp have it. I didn't have to install it for extra gnome themes to work
[13:07] <te> anyone know where the hell YaQuake went?
[13:07] <karuna_bdc> te: try the repositories?
[13:07] <frank23> te: it's yakuake
[13:07] <ConstyXIV> te: I believe it's yaKuake, and it's in apt-get (sudo apt-get install yakuake)

[13:07] <te> ah-ha!

[13:08] <simion314> Jack_Sparrow it would be nice if it had worked, if the program crushed the you have to remove it

[13:11] <brandonc503> dgjones cause i have to disable the composite to get gears to work but then desktop things wontwork
[13:11] <simion314> it would be nice not to have to upgrade all your system(it never worked for me to upgrade directly, i had to format and make a clean install)
[13:11] <erawfish_> brandonc503: then use xserver-xgl
[13:11] <Jack_Sparrow> simion314, If it was that simple it would work..  but it isnt.  You can compile from source.. or upgrade your release
[13:11] <stevecasper> must i type that in the terminal?
[13:11] <bazhang> simion314: thus the idea for a seperate /home ;]
[13:12] <bazhang> alt f2 stevecasper
[13:12] <arthur_8200> Damn it... Do I really have to reinstall ubuntu only because my Desktop is /home/arthur instead of /home/arthur/Desktop :(((
[13:12] <erawfish_> simion314: if you are on 6.06LTS, wait another 2 months and then upgrade to hardy
[13:12] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: hello?
[13:12] <Jack_Sparrow> mystery we will need to know what all you have been changing on that system..  something more is obviously wrong in there
[13:12] <doondoon900> brb
[13:12] <erawfish_> arthur_8200: home directory or Desktop?
[13:12] <pi3> arthur_8200: why is your desktop /home/arthur?
[13:12] <erawfish_> if it's desktop, most likely it's a gconf setting
[13:12] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow|_ shall i tell u step by step what im doing?
[13:12] <bashca> ping me
[13:12] <Jack_Sparrow> arthur_8200, Please explain before you reinstall
[13:13] <arthur_8200> My desktop was in .trash/Desktop before.... then I removed this... now it is in /home/arthur
[13:13] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, no, what all you did prior to this problem
[13:13] <bazhang> bashca ;]
[13:13] <simion314> i tried  8.04 but it do not have all packages that i need
[13:14] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: well i dont remember it step by step :D
[13:14] <erawfish_> simion314: 8.04 is not released yet
[13:14] <brandonc503> erawfish_ i did.. but there where settings i did not understand
[13:14] <arthur_8200> I have already tried changing the value of gconf-editor --> appss --> nautilus --> prefrences --> desktop_is_home
[13:14] <Jack_Sparrow> simion314, and you cant go directly from 606 to 804  you need to go version by version..
[13:14] <simion314> i tried it in beta, it will be nice

[13:19] <bashca> bazhang, hi there  :)
[13:19] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, Doubt it will do you any good.  You cant tell us what you did that broke it in the first place . Obviously you did more that try to change the res
[13:19] <Peace_> I have an openoffice question

[13:20] <mysterycool> jack_sparrow: well it was just asking thinbgs and i was hiting Enter (yes)
[13:20] <mysterycool> xD
[13:20] <danand> arthur_8200 - no need to reinstall .... just add a new user to your system. export all your required settings, files etc to the new user. you can then remove the old user and recreate if you require.
[13:20] <mysterycool> jack
[13:20] <mohamed_> external hdd problem not recoganising

[13:20] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, I wont be able to help ou

[13:23] <apo> Hi. I'm trying to setup my PC to connect to my school's WLAN, it uses EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPV2. My wpa-supplicant config is at http://pastebin.com/m67326936 . When I run wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd it doesn't connect, and I get a lot of this: http://pastebin.com/m65dab8ff
[13:23] <apo> And it doesn't connect
[13:23] <apo> Anybody got experience with EAP-TTLS?
[13:23] <mohamed_> anybody there to solve this hdd issue
[13:23] <apo> I have no idea what to do anymore, already tried a bunch of tutorials :/
[13:24] <hischild> apo, can't you use the gui manager for networks?
[13:24] <nospa> hello
[13:24] <stevecasper> still cant see my window toolbars....is there a way of refreshing my dektop? ( using gutsy...and compiz fusion)
[13:24] <erawfish_> !ask | mohamed_
[13:24] <ubotu> mohamed_: 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. :-)
[13:24] <apo> hischild: No, it doesn't support EAP-TTLS
[13:24] <mohamed_> ok
[13:24] <mohamed_> i have a problem my external hdd is not recoganised
[13:25] <mysterycool> plz workmplz work plz work
[13:25] <erawfish_> mohamed_: you haev a problem describing your problem in the first place so we can help you
[13:25] <mysterycool> :'(
[13:25] <mysterycool> :(
[13:25] <mysterycool> :D
[13:25] <mysterycool> :S
[13:25] <IndyGunFreak> mohamed_: so you don't get an icon on your desktop, or you just can't write to it?
[13:25] <apo> hischild: In the dropdown list, there's only WPA2-Personal, but I need WPA2-Enterprise.
[13:25] <hischild> mohamed_, what have you tried so far, what does it do /  not do, any other info?
[13:25] <mohamed_> ok i have attached a external hdd with usb connected ubuntu 7.10 not detecting it
[13:25] <Pici> mysterycool: thats not needed.
[13:25] <hischild> apo, hmm ... don't have experience with it :(
[13:26] <apo> Damn ><
[13:26] <mohamed_> i tried all the possible ways
[13:26] <DOOM_NX> When I was on Windows XP I would use a program called ReverseVNC to create an executable that when run by another Windows PC, I would connect to its desktop. How can I do the same using Ubuntu? My friend uses Windows Vista.
[13:26] <mohamed_> nothing seems to work
[13:26] <deviank> Is it normal for a tovid encoded .mpg file not to run in vlc/mplayer lol or should i try re-encode it?
[13:26] <brobostigon> mohamed_: what does lsusb and dmesg say??
[13:26] <mohamed_> so how to do
[13:26] <mohamed_> lsusb not showing that external hdd at all
[13:26] <mysterycool> it says Error: Microsocode "bmc43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed!
[13:26] <mysterycool> again! :@
[13:26] <mohamed_> dmesg too the same thing
[13:26] <mysterycool> :'(
[13:26] <mohamed_> but my external hdd works well in windows xp
[13:26] <Peace_> how can i get a synonyms menu in openoffice right click menu on words? like:  "awesome">right click>synonyms>"cool sweet amazing great"
[13:26] <hischild> mohamed_, any errors?
[13:27] <Jack_Sparrow> mohamed_, http://www.techmongrel.com/29/remote-desktop-ubuntu-710-from-windows/
[13:27] <mohamed_> errors i didnt notice
[13:27] <mysterycool> *Microcode
[13:27] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, that is your network card and has NOTHING to do with your screen res
[13:27] <IndyGunFreak> mysterycool: ive yet to figure ou t what you're talking about.
[13:27] <hischild> Jack_Sparrow, i think wrong nick and i think he tries to do it the other way around
[13:27] <mysterycool> IndyGunFreak: ?
[13:27] <dda> My laptop CPU (turion64) runs on 800MHz-2000MHz (using powernow_k8 module). But suddenly it starts to work only in 800MHz. I tried to reload the module but it did not help. What can be a reason?
[13:27] <mysterycool> IndyGunFreak: whats the prob??? :S
[13:27] <s0u][ight> hello how do i run bittorrent i got it installed
[13:28] <mysterycool> Jack_Sparrow: how can i fix it? :s
[13:28] <IndyGunFreak> mysterycool: you mean other tha you're flooding the channel with your useless 1 lines?
[13:28] <DASPRiD> s0u][ight, just oben a .torrent file
[13:28] <Jack_Sparrow> hischild, Agreed, I have done that too
[13:28] <mysterycool> IndyGunFreak: ?
[13:28] <Jack_Sparrow> mysterycool, Sorry, someone else will need to help you...
[13:28] <pi3> dda: did you insert a floppy?
[13:28] <stevecasper> ok...i disabled my compiz...running no special features...and my toolbars are back, but when i reactivate cool graphics, toolbars go away again...how do i resinstall compiz?
[13:28] <mysterycool> how can i fix the error Microcode "bmc blah blah blah"? :S
[13:28] <hischild> Jack_Sparrow, i think i know what he's tryin to do ... he wants to do a reverse vnc connection so the person he's tryin to help doesn't have to forward ports ...
[13:28] <pavlos> hello there
[13:29] <Jack_Sparrow> stevecasper, You may have better luck asking in #Compiz
[13:29] <hischild> stevecasper, i got a fix for that ... a second please
[13:29] <dda> pi3, in laptop? no :)
[13:29] <mohamed_> when i type dmesg it shows error -71
[13:29] <mohamed_> what does this mean
[13:29] <bazhang> soulrider_: go here: www.linuxtracker.org ; download the torrent file, open it with the client and then you are good to go--best to use something like transmission deluge or ktorrent though as the default one is not that hot

[13:29] <dda> I think it should be 2000000, not 800000
[13:29] <hischild> stevecasper, do you have an ATI or an Nvidia card?
[13:30] <stevecasper> nope....intel graphics
[13:30] <pi3> dda: when reading a floppy the cpu lowers its speed, just a thought
[13:30] <mysterycool> aaargh, hoa can i fix it?
[13:30] <mysterycool> *how
[13:30] <mysterycool> somebody help plz?
[13:30] <hischild> !anyone
[13:30] <ubotu> In place of  "Does anyone/anybody...", please be aware, one persons expert is another persons beginner, please ask your question in full, then see what helps!
[13:30] <DOOM_NX> Is there something equivalent to ReverseVNC in Linux that I can make an executable so that when it's run by a Windows PC I can connect remotely?
[13:31] <mysterycool> weel
[13:31] <hischild> stevecasper, right let me find the link agani
[13:31] <mysterycool> *well
[13:31]  * IndyGunFreak sigh.. can't handle this, i hate using Ignore, but congrats mysterycool you're the first
[13:31] <dda> pi3, thanks for suggestion. no, it is not the case. I'm trying to find what caused that
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  i just ssh to the linux box and run the vncserver.  :) ya could sort of script that i guess..
[13:31] <mysterycool> my pc is messed up, it wont load some Microcode whatever file and the os wont start up
[13:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme > mysterycool
[13:32] <stevecasper> i think im the only one using my real name...i feel weird
[13:32] <IndyGunFreak> stevecasper: thats pretty unusual for anything on the internet, not just IRC, i'd never use my real name
[13:32] <DOOM_NX> see Dr_Willis, i have to connect to my friend's PC that uses Windows Vista, and doesn't know how to use uTorrent. So I want to demonstrate him how through VNC. Can I?
[13:32] <mysterycool> !repeat
[13:32] <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
[13:32] <IndyGunFreak> not my full name anyways
[13:32] <J_P> hi all
[13:32] <Jack_Sparrow> stevecasper, You are running hardy right?
[13:32] <J_P> People, I would like to change my locale, how I do this ? What is command line ?
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  have him install/run ultravnc on the vista box. and connect to his xp box I guess..
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  err vista box. and show him. :)
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,   vnc over the internet is not a good idea however. its not real secure
[13:34] <DOOM_NX> U mean he has to install UltraVNC and set it up?
[13:34] <stevecasper> hmmm...hardy.....im running gutsy gibbon
[13:34] <lunks> My battery time discharging is currently unknown (quote from tray indicator). How to make Ubuntu know it? Is my notebook not sharing this info? I'm on an HP Pavillion.
[13:34] <bazhang> mysterycool: what microcode? please be precise and calm down a bit; this may take a little while
[13:34] <brandonc503> k now i  sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx. and my vid card cannot be detected and runing in low res.. or low something mode
[13:35] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang, driver for his bcm43xx
[13:35] <DOOM_NX> Dr_Willis, u mean he has to install UltraVNC and set it up? He barely knows how to operate a PC...
[13:36] <bazhang> Jack_Sparrow: thanks!
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  Guess he has some learning to do then.     You could share your ubuntu desktop, and let him connect to you with a vnc client I guess.
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  or you coudl record some video of your desktop and show him. :)
[13:36] <nickthorley> does anyone here know if the effects for compiz ufsion can be driven by keyboard key presses or are they done through the mouse
[13:36] <hischild> stevecasper, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/89741 <-- sounds like that bug?
[13:37] <DOOM_NX> Dr_Willis, isn't there something that makes an .exe that when he runs it I connect to his desktop?
[13:37] <stevecasper> hischild: thanks...ill go have a look
[13:37] <hischild> stevecasper, doesn't have the solution .. :( ... i'm still searchin for that link
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  no idea.. doubtfull.  sounds like a stand alone vncserver, and vncserver is a bit more complex then that.
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  windows does have some sort of remote desktop feature built in. but ive never used it.
[13:38] <soulburner> had to switch back to gnome
[13:38] <soulburner> kde is a piece of shit
[13:38] <erawfish_> XP Pro does
[13:38] <DOOM_NX> ReverseVNC could do that...

[13:38] <ubotu> soulburner: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[13:38] <DASPRiD> soulburner, it is :D
[13:38] <soulburner> sorry pici
[13:38] <bazhang> language please soulburner
[13:38] <soulburner> my appologies
[13:38] <IndyGunFreak> soulburner: i agree., i don;'t know why so many find it so popular.
[13:39] <soulburner> IndyGunFreak,  my pc isnt too fast but christ, kde will just randomly lag out of nowhere, running firefox is nearly impossible it dimes the resources
[13:39] <stevecasper> hischild: the one guy said. i must hack the file to fix it
[13:39] <hischild> stevecasper, not really hack a file, just create it
[13:39] <IndyGunFreak> soulburner: yup, but KDE fans, say its just as resource heavy as Gnome... not in my experience
[13:39] <brandonc503> when i use restricted drivers manager to enable my vid it seems to unistall nvidia glx.. but i just installed that... advice?
[13:39] <hischild> stevecasper, want me to take you throught that?
[13:39] <soulburner> only reason i was using it was to load some skz theme for desktop addons, was a cool addon but i cant stand using the interface..
[13:39] <simplexio> DOOM_NX: windows has own remote destktop utility, you just need to use tsclient to connect it, or install tightvnc server to windows and use vnc to coonect it
[13:39] <soulburner> IndyGunFreak,  NO WAY!
[13:39] <stevecasper> none of them are my graphics card...should i give it a try though?
[13:40] <soulburner> gnome is much MUCH lighter
[13:40] <IndyGunFreak> soulburner: hang out here long enough, they say it all the time
[13:40] <soulburner> LOL
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> DOOM_NX,  have him instgall reverse vnc then.. Ive never heard of it.
[13:40] <hischild> stevecasper, there are some among them who had an intel gfx card
[13:40] <humbolto> !gnash
[13:40] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[13:40] <soulburner> when my system is idling with a few processes, itll get 2-3% with KDE i was always above 20
[13:40] <simplexio> screen+sbash is lightest gui you can get
[13:41] <humbolto> does anybody know how to activate the gnash mozilla plugin?
[13:41] <simplexio> :)
[13:41] <lunks> My battery time discharging is currently unknown (quote from tray indicator). How to make Ubuntu know it? Is my notebook not sharing this info? I'm on an HP Pavillion.
[13:41] <soulburner> simplexio, we're talkin windows managements though hehehehe
[13:41] <DOOM_NX> Dr_Willis, he doesn't have to install it.... I had to run the servermaker then enter my IP and it would make an .exe. Then he would run the .exe while i'm listening and I would connect.
[13:41] <IndyGunFreak> brandonc503: enable restricted driver, then sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings  then restart
[13:41] <simplexio> soulburner: screen is "window" management
[13:41] <soulburner> a long time ago when i used redhat i remember this really cool window manager, but can't seem to recall the name
[13:41] <stevecasper> ok im keen...lets hack...sorry create some files....where do i begin?
[13:41] <brobostigon> soulburner: xfce maybe??
[13:42] <DOOM_NX> i would just have to send him the executable and then he would double click it
[13:42] <simplexio> soulburner: i think you can split screen to show two terminal programs :)
[13:42] <soulburner> simplexio, interesting lol
[13:42] <humbolto> how do I replace adobe flash with gnash mozilla plugin in ubuntu?
[13:42] <soulburner> brobostigon,  it could have been, i had it set up nice lots of transparency and it was black
[13:42] <soulburner> was suhweet!
[13:42] <brobostigon> soulburner: could have ben enlightenment then too??
[13:43] <hischild> lunks, how long have you had ubuntu installed?
[13:43] <arthurk> Hi, arthur_8200 is here... I am currently moving my settings from user arthur to arthurk
[13:43] <soulburner> brobostigon,  that sounds very familiar
[13:43] <simplexio> only reasont to use X is to get more terminal views open and browser :)
[13:43] <lunks> hischild, hmm less than a month. Does it learn about it?
[13:43] <arthurk> Is there a quick way to move the folder from one user to the other?
[13:43] <IndyGunFreak> arthurk: uh, copy/paste?
[13:43] <hischild> lunks, yeah ... but with a month ... wait do you have power connected to it?
[13:43] <mysterycool> hello
[13:43] <arthurk> cp /home/arthur/Multimedia /home/arthurk -R does take very long time
[13:44] <lunks> hischild, almost all the time. it's actually less than a month. :P
[13:44] <waylandbill> I have a dsl router that handles dns requests but very slowly. If I manually enter my isp's nameserver before it in /etc/resolv.conf then I get fast requests until rebooting when the resolv.conf is recreated from the dhcp info. Is there a way to prepend a nameserver once the resolv.conf is recreated?
[13:44] <arthurk> mv would be great
[13:44] <tokyoahead> hi guys... I installed ubuntu on a fresh HD and then attached a windows-HD to the system. If I set either of them as primary disc they boot. I installed grub on the linux hd and want to to boot windows w/o setting the windows HD as primary in bios, but it just gives me e blinking _ ... any idea?
[13:44] <Pici> arthurk: Using mv would better than using cp.  You are currently copying that data.
[13:44] <hischild> lunks, well it won't know it's discharge time when you've got the power connected :p only the charge time if it's charging :-)
[13:44] <mysterycool> i changed my graphic's card options to something really big to see what will hapen. then the graphics were reeeaally messed up and then i did something that somebody told me from this chan. now however, ubuntu wont boot up successfully!
[13:44] <arthurk> yeah
[13:44] <arthurk> But how?
[13:45] <arthurk> mv -r ???
[13:45] <lunks> hischild, but it does learn, then =P
[13:45] <nickthorley> is there anything I can alter in ubuntu to increase my battery life - on windows it reported as approx 3 hours but under ubuntu its reporting 2 hours - is this just how it is or can I get that extra capacity out
[13:45] <lunks> it's decharging too fast
[13:45] <hischild> lunks, ubuntu is smart :-)
[13:45] <Pici> arthurk: you don't need to specify -r when using mv
[13:45] <soulburner> i was just checking it out, i think that was it
[13:45] <arthurk> ohj
[13:45] <arthurk> ohj
[13:45] <arthurk> oh
[13:45] <arthurk> thank you :D
[13:45] <hischild> nickthorley, windows was overstating ... unless you're doing more on ubuntu then on windows ... or ubuntu is understating .. (does that for me)
[13:45] <mysterycool> i get the Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode.fw" not available or load faieled
[13:45] <mysterycool> help plz
[13:46] <brobostigon> waylandbill: just add the proper nameserver into resolv.conf, and then change its permission so it can only be read by anyb ody, including root, tht means it will never be changed by anything
[13:46] <khaije> how does the apt applet know when there are updates before i even use the 'update' command? can anyone explain?

[13:46] <chrisime> Pici: upsi
[13:46] <waylandbill> brobostigon: the dhcp client won't reset the permissions if needed?
[13:46] <arthurk> @ Pici and now I only have to " sudo chown arthurk:arthurk Multimedia -R " ?
[13:46] <mysterycool> erUSUL: it wont even start up ubuntu!
[13:46] <IndyGunFreak> erUSUL: he is trolling, i would ignore him
[13:46] <brobostigon> waylandbill: it cant change the permissions
[13:47] <nickthorley> hischild: Well I home its under estimating but I will keep trying it and time it to see - could it be possible that it does use more processor power or use the disk more and hence reduce the time
[13:47] <m1r> hi all , i have small problem with evolution email , it says my folders dont synchronize and since last night it doubled all my email. anyone expriance similar problems ?
[13:47] <mysterycool> erUSUL: i am through a lame windows computer
[13:47] <Pici> arthurk: I don't think so, check the permissions first before you do that.
[13:47] <arthurk> I have done mv with sudo
[13:47] <erUSUL> mysterycool: the boot problem can not be becouse of the broadcom driver. You have some other problem
[13:48] <mysterycool> erUSUL: that is what ie printed out
[13:48] <Pici> arthurk: Then yes, you may have to.
[13:48] <brandonc503> k.. enabled in restricted drivers, then apt get nvidia settings.. now what?
[13:48] <arthurk> @ Pici THANK YOU!
[13:48] <Pici> arthurk: It can't hurt anyway.
[13:48] <waylandbill> brobostigon: technically, if the client was run as root it could if the code had support to , but I'll try it out and see. Thanks.
[13:48] <mysterycool> erUSUL: do i have to re install ubuntu?

[13:59] <waylandbill> brobostigon: that says that root can write to it. looks like the client knows how to modify the permissions to allow itself to update the file.

[14:05] <Zoik1> it was a raid 5
[14:05] <Zoik1> :'(
[14:05] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang, That pastebin trick is very cool.. thanks...
[14:05] <Slart> Zoik1: but then you have your original file still?
[14:05] <hischild> bazhang, i was just showin that i did it :p (and yes that's my nick)
[14:05] <bazhang> Jack_Sparrow: hehe thank Pici ;]
[14:06] <eo> hi
[14:06] <Zoik1> Slart: not really... it was my storage / backup
[14:06] <bazhang> hischild: aha; looks fine ;]
[14:06] <Zoik1> thus the raid 5
[14:06] <Zoik1> i thought ext3 was better then ext2
[14:06] <eo> is it possible to install  just only grub on the main hard drive ?
[14:06] <Slart> Zoik1: ah.. that's bad.. well.. there might be other people out there, wiser than me etc..
[14:06] <hischild> eo, yes ... look for supergrub'
[14:06] <bazhang> Rgem: how about installing the pcre library into the system? what are you trying to achieve?
[14:07] <Slart> Zoik1: no filesystem in the world can save you from a user with permissions doing bad things.. afaik =(
[14:07] <Zoik1> Slart: yeah i know
[14:07] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, There are other boot managers you might want to try that will work better since you dont want to run linux
[14:07] <Zoik1> the raid buggered up

[14:10] <Slart> Jack_Sparrow: hehe.. never heard it called that before.. but there is some truth in the name =)
[14:10] <sybariten> if you understand my confusion
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, Install ubuntu.... it will install grub and give you access to your other os's
[14:10] <mike-e> bazhang : your question doesn't make sense. I'm trying to play an mpeg
[14:10] <hischild> sybariten, most likely it is located near thre
[14:11] <mike-e> doens't work w/ movie player or mplayer
[14:11] <bazhang> mike-e: well good luck then
[14:11] <eo> the problem
[14:11] <eo> is i have already install ubuntu on my external usb har disk

[14:13] <JonathanEllis> Hi. I had a power failure earlier and had to repair the file system with fsck. Now the usual shortcuts (Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music etc) are missing from the Places menu. Also File Browser seems to show the contents of Mozilla Preferences under the Places pane but with each line of the file shown as a folder name. Any ideas please?
[14:13] <Rgem> I install nginx, but where do I find the config file?
[14:14] <sybariten> hischild: as it turns out, locate lighttpd spits out an awful lot of stuff called simply 'lighttpd', but one of them is /etc/init.d/lighttpd and i guess thats the one i want to run
[14:14] <sybariten> confuising though, that they have a lot of stuff named the same thing as the binary, in /usr/sbin
[14:14] <hischild> sybariten, most likely yes
[14:14] <tokyoahead> guys how can I connect a network drive like in windows? I have a NAS that I can connect to via the network in ubuntu, but how do I create a permenent link (mount it?) in my filesystem?
[14:14] <hischild> sybariten, it also looks at the folder and everything in that folder also comes up
[14:15] <Slart> tokyoahead: have you looked at the menu Places, Connect to Server ?
[14:15] <sybariten> hischild: yes, but there were a lot of _files_, as far as i can see, called lighttpd... thats what surprised me
[14:15] <bella> ok and then?
[14:15] <hischild> sybariten, ah that
[14:15] <tokyoahead> Slart: a thanks
[14:15] <hischild> bella, copy the error on there and gives us the link ... avoids spamming the channel
[14:16] <bella> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58366/
[14:16] <bella> like this?
[14:16] <bella> sorry for my ignorance
[14:17] <bella> bit new to all this
[14:17] <hischild> bella, no problem. Can you be a bit more specific about your error so we know what you were doing, what you were trying etc?
[14:17] <sinbox> Hello, if I have turned some rpm into deb via alien and then installed that what would be the easiest/best way for me to uninstall that? is it gonna be in applications add/remove  or in the synaptic manager?
[14:17] <brobostigon> bella: thats ok.
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> sinbox, alien is a terrible idea and causes all sorts of problems
[14:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !alien > sinbox
[14:18] <sinbox> Jack_Sparrow, well they were drivers for my printer and only available in that format so I didn't really have a choice
[14:18] <bella> just using wvdial to connect it connects but says this ominous message about chap secrets permission denied
[14:19] <bella> so I d like to correct that I have read threads but find them really confusing
[14:19] <Jack_Sparrow> sinbox, They are usually available as source.. if they are only available as rpm then there are issues keeping them from having a deb in ther first place
[14:19] <brobostigon> bella: you have searched the forums then??
[14:19] <eo> how to install supergrub ?
[14:19] <bella> yes
[14:20] <dietztho000> do ubuntu have usb port
[14:20] <dietztho000> s
[14:20] <hischild> eo, it's a bootable cd
[14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, It is a livecd
[14:20] <tokyoahead> Slart: ok I have done that, now I have a Import folder gui here in F-Spot, but that does not show the network drives.. how can I get them there? I only have them on the desktop and on the "places" folder...
[14:20] <bazhang> dietztho000: it is an OS; usb ports come on your computer ;]
[14:20] <dietztho000> lol
[14:20] <eo> i got ubuntu install on my usb hard drive
[14:21] <dietztho000> well theres someone in my channel asking where to plug his iPod in caz he has a ubuntu lol
[14:21] <eo> when i try to boot it display boot error
[14:21] <Slart> tokyoahead: find your desktop in the import folder thingy.. it should be in /home/yourusername/Desktop.. or ~/Desktop
[14:21] <bazhang> dietztho000: okay; the newer iPod?
[14:21] <eo> to fix this problem i want to install supergrub
[14:21] <dietztho000> yes, ipod touch
[14:21] <eo> where to install it ?
[14:21] <hischild> eo, please ... stuff it all on a single line and include as much info as you can .... like what problem, what you're tryin to do, what you did etc .....
[14:21] <dietztho000> ./join #touchmods
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, You dont install supergrub
[14:21] <dietztho000> if u wanna see lol
[14:21] <sinbox> they were only available as rpm from the manufacturer's site unfortunately and I had searched quite a while before finding them, they are not causing any problems but are just plain not working so I wanted to take them off the system Jack_Sparrow , any suggestion on the best way to do that?
[14:21] <tokyoahead> Slart: this import thing only shows image files, no links
[14:22] <hischild> eo, and supergrub is a livecd, you burn it on a disc and then boot from it.
[14:22] <Slart> dietztho000: ubuntu is an operating system.. not a piece of hardware.. it supports usb though
[14:22] <Jack_Sparrow> sinbox, nope
[14:22] <tokyoahead> Slart: and it shows folders..
[14:22] <myIRC> does anyone know what algos irssi is useing in order to colorize the nicks?
[14:22] <sinbox> ok nvm thanks all the same Jack_Sparrow
[14:22] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[14:22] <bazhang> dietztho000: a couple of options, neither of them fun--you can compile libgpod 0.6.0 for it or use some libs from another version--the latter is quite risky though
[14:22] <eo> ok
[14:22] <dietztho000> hmmm
[14:22] <Slart> tokyoahead: hmm.. hang on.. let me give it a try here... I've actually never used that menu thingy myself
[14:23] <eo> so what is the solution ,
[14:23] <tokyoahead> Slart: ok thanks
[14:23] <eo> ???
[14:23] <bazhang> dietztho000: the next version will have libgpod support natively though--so if he can suffer for a few weeks..
[14:23] <tokyoahead> Slart: can I mount soemthign like that anyhow?
[14:23] <mike-e> why did they get rid of the w32codec package?
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, Make room on your internal hard drive and install ubuntu there.
[14:23] <Slart> tokyoahead: what is it? a samba share? ftp server?
[14:24] <tokyoahead> Slart: samba share
[14:24] <eo> i have already install ubuntu
[14:24] <bella> brobostigon, ? someone says on a foerum one should be the "owner" of the secrets file what does that mean?
[14:24] <Slart> tokyoahead: yes you can.. smbmount is one way.. or you can edit your fstab
[14:24] <eo> on the external hard drive
[14:24] <lunks> my touchpad scroll is not working... it used to work, but looks like something happened.
[14:24] <tokyoahead> Slart: ok I will try thanks
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, Sorry I cant help you...
[14:25] <brobostigon> bella: that means you need to have RW permissons to it,
[14:25] <dietztho000> ok how can i get a iTunes on ubuntu?
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> eo, obviously you did not install it correctly on the external hard drive or it would have worked, I have offered you the soultion which you ignore.
[14:25] <brobostigon> dietztho000: wine
[14:26] <dietztho000> wine?
[14:26] <bella> but its my computer what rw permission?
[14:26] <EnginA> guys do you know a safe disk deleter ?
[14:26] <brobostigon> bella: you need read write permission to that file
[14:26] <bernhard_> #co-s
[14:26] <bella> ok how do I do that
[14:26] <EnginA> prefereble a static binary that can safely wipe a hard drive
[14:26] <brobostigon> !wine | dietztho000
[14:26] <ubotu> dietztho000: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[14:27] <brobostigon> bella: in nautilus, open the file properties and change its permissons
[14:27] <bella> nautilus?
[14:28] <brobostigon> bella: nautilus is gnome file manager
[14:28] <hischild> eo reinstall then

[14:33] <JonathanEllis> Hi. I had a power failure earlier and had to repair the file system with fsck. Now the usual shortcuts (Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music etc) are missing from the Places menu. Also File Browser seems to show the contents of Mozilla Preferences under the Places pane but with each line of the file shown as a folder name. Any ideas please?
[14:34] <brandonc503> i like how windows look all rubbery when you move them
[14:35] <bella> says you are not the owner
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> JonathanEllis, Did you run fsck from a livecd?  Was the hard drive mounted or unmounted when you ran it...   etc
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Brandon_, Did you install ccsm yet?
[14:35] <vignesh> i have a lan network enabled through cables. my friend's computer has direct internet connection. i have configured the proxy settings.. now the browser says "The proxy server is refusing the connection"... can anyone help??

[14:36] <zossso> vignesh: You  are running a proxy server on your friends computer right?
[14:36] <JonathanEllis> Jack_Sparrow: Yes I ran fsck from a livecd
[14:36] <vignesh> erUSUL, no i dont know.. how to make him enable it??

[14:37] <vignesh> erUSUL, ubuntu
[14:37] <erUSUL> vignesh: your frind's
[14:37] <vignesh> erUSUL, same
[14:37] <andrer> anyone know a good cpu benchmark for linux ?
[14:37] <erUSUL> vignesh: then is better to use firestarter (for example) to share the conection
[14:38] <vignesh> erUSUL, whatz firestarter??
[14:38] <erUSUL> vignesh: then in the net configuration of your ubuntu you have to put your friend's computer ip as your gateaway
[14:38] <soulburner> vignesh, its a firewall with gui, pretty nice
[14:38] <erUSUL> !firestarter | vignesh
[14:38] <ubotu> vignesh: 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).
[14:38] <soulburner> sudo apt-get install firestarter
[14:39] <soulburner> itll be available through administration > firestarter
[14:39] <vignesh> i have installed firestarter.. how do i user it..
[14:39] <soulburner> i used it to share connection with my 360
[14:39] <bruno> Olá pessoal

[14:39] <ubotu> bruno: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[14:39] <zossso> vignesh: google `"internet connection sharing" ubuntu` or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 might give you a start
[14:39] <bruno> blz, tem o canal ai pra eu add?
[14:40] <soulburner> vignesh, when you first start firestarter it walks you through the setup
[14:40] <soulburner> pretty self explaintory
[14:40] <soulburner> you can't go wrong unless you don't read it
[14:41] <sinbox> ok, I've now found a new rpm package with new drivers for my printers, it's an "src.rpm" which apparently means it contains the source in there, anyone know what I must use to open it extract the source from there so I can then do a make install of the source?
[14:41] <vignesh> yeah.. i got it..
[14:41] <zossso> soulburner: thx.  firestarter looks like a nice little application
[14:41] <vignesh> thanks a lot..
[14:41] <erUSUL> vignesh: the configuration of firestarter must be on your friends computer
[14:41] <soulburner> zossso,  it is
[14:41] <erUSUL> vignesh: you do not need it
[14:42] <soulburner> simplifys iptables if you're a noob like me
[14:42] <soulburner> :)
[14:42] <zossso> sinbox: which printer are you installing
[14:43] <humbolto> where do I put my own font collection, so I can use it?

[14:44] <sinbox> zossso,   Canon Pixma MP160: works fine over the network via cups when connected to an XP machine but steadfastly refuses to work when via USB to this box despite following all the instructions I found in the ubuntu forum and linuxprinting and openprint
[14:44] <wwalker> I need to have the X session be a child of gpg-agent.  ubuntu already does this with ssh-agent.  anyone know where to change this in ubuntu?
[14:44] <humbolto> friedtofu: and will the be available right away? even in wine?
[14:44] <friedtofu> i think you have to recache it, but after that it'll be available

[14:46] <zossso> sinbox: do you have alien installed?
[14:46] <sinbox> I do zossso even if just been told it's not recommended
[14:47] <juri1988> ciao
[14:47] <zossso> sinbox: ah.. I had problems installing this printer too.  think i ended up using turboprint or something.  *thinking*
[14:49] <zossso> sinbox: you've looked at this forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=364749
[14:50] <sinbox> I'm burneverything on the forum and in that thread zossso  :)
[14:50] <humbolto> can my fonts in ~/.fonts/ be organized in folders or do they need to be at the base of this dir?
[14:50] <eo> hi
[14:50] <eo> what is unionfs ?
[14:51] <zossso> sinbox: this one seems alright.  sounds similar to what I did: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-Pixma_MP160
[14:51] <zossso> sinbox: even has a guide for Ubuntu 7.10
[14:52] <Vadi> When I add a new repository, it indexes -all- programs in that repository. What if I only want only _one_ program from that repository, and not the rest? How can I make it stop bugging me about updates?
[14:52] <Bracki> How can I replace an existing Linux with the latest Ubuntu version?
[14:52] <zossso> sinbox: pretty sure you will need alien regardless

[14:53] <dt-in-th> Hello. I need help recovering my /boot partition. Can anyone help me?
[14:53] <erUSUL> Bracki: use the partitions currently used by the other distro and overwritte it
[14:53] <dgjones> Bracki, is that an existing ubuntu install?
[14:53] <Bracki> dgjones: no
[14:53] <Bracki> dgjones: opensuse 10.1. I'd prefer a script that just bootstraps itself and replaces everything....
[14:53] <zossso> sinbox: In my experience, it was the most difficult printer to get working with linux (without closed-source turboprint).
[14:53] <dgjones> !install | Bracki
[14:53] <ubotu> Bracki: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[14:54] <Slart> Bracki: I would suggest a reinstall.. it might (in the same meaning that you might win the lottery) work.. but I doubt it
[14:54] <dt-in-th> I installed /boot on a primary partition, / and /usr on another partition. I accidently removed /boot. What should I do?
[14:55] <sinbox> zossso, I had read that one too :) will try that as well  Jack_Sparrow I think that the free version of turboprint puts a watermark of their company logo on prints though which isn't exactly ideal, thanks both of you, if all that fail I will try the newer canon file I found on the european website yesterday
[14:55] <sinbox> or I'll just use it over the network
[14:55] <zossso> sinbox, Jack_Sparrow:  it does put a watermark on it
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> sinbox, DOnt select your os based on a printer or other hardware...
[14:56] <zossso> sinbox: the method on that last post I gave you should work.  But if I remember, many setting (b/w only, etc.) don't work easily
[14:56] <sinbox> I don't Jack_Sparrow , I just got that printer before my windows box died a physical death and decided to go linux on an old one I had hanging around here but I still have an XP laptop connected for other purposes
[14:57] <Mortuis> I haven't built a computer in awhile, and am currently considering graphics cards.  Is there a particular manufacturer of graphics cards that are known for linux compatability?

[14:59] <Jack_Sparrow> st_iron, 15 will work.. see more specific help in #Alsa....
[14:59] <zossso> ender: Places->Network
[14:59] <Mortuis> dgjones: thanks, I'll check that out.
[14:59] <st_iron> Jack_Sparrow: k, thanks
[14:59] <zossso> ender: or Places->Connect to Server..
[14:59] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[14:59] <Isaiah> I'm trying to install mysql-server using apt-get but it tells me " mysql-server: Depends: mysql-server-5.0 but it is not going to be installed
[14:59] <Isaiah> E: Broken packages
[15:00] <ender> but how do I mount to make it work in amarok
[15:00] <whatisyourname> that's crazy! so many people here
[15:00] <Isaiah> How can I fix that?
[15:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Isaiah, Did you make any changes to your sources list
[15:00] <Isaiah> Jack_Sparrow, no I didn't
[15:00] <ender> how do I mount a network share as an actual drive
[15:01] <zossso> Isaiah: might try System->Administration->Syanaptic Package Maanger
[15:01] <Isaiah> ok
[15:01] <soulburner> what do i need to type to list available hardware in /dev/*
[15:01] <zossso> What a great community here on #ubuntu!
[15:01] <bella_>  I need to change  rw permission how do I do it
[15:02] <ender> how do I mount a network share as an actual drive
[15:02] <soulburner> bella,  i'd assume chmod but not sure, wait till someone with more experience answers
[15:02] <zossso> soulburner: `ls -l /dev/`?
[15:02] <soulburner> zossso,  perhaps that is it
[15:03] <dt-in-th> My /boot and / has gone. Left only /usr /etc /data and /www. What should I do?
[15:04] <zossso> ender: well, that is kind of tricky.  basically linux mounts drives as folders, so yo just specify what folder to mount to.
[15:04] <zossso> ender: If you want a nice link to it on your desktop, that is pretty easy
[15:04] <ComputerGuru> So I'm giving a course on Linus for beginners and I'll be using Ubuntu - but I have a real tough question
[15:04] <sinbox> next question: I want to build a server on a P2 233Mhz (so no need for fans) can I use 7.10 or shall I go for 6.06LTS to make it easier for the CPU and small amount of ram to use?
[15:04] <ComputerGuru> what's the best way to teach when I have the only non-Windows machine in the lab?
[15:04] <danand> ender - what type of network share do you want to mount?
[15:04] <ender> zossso I just need a link that programs can "see"
[15:04] <ender> smb
[15:05] <Odd-rationale> ComputerGuru: Get the other machines (or have the students bring theirs) and boot up a LiveCD!
[15:05] <Slart> ComputerGuru: well.. you could teach them to install ubuntu on their machines.. learning to use linux without actually getting to use it would be hard
[15:05] <komputes> anyone have any tips on why I can't install directly onto sata - no drive detected?
[15:06] <zossso> In places->network right click on the share, Connect to server.. Name whatever you want
[15:06] <Slart> ComputerGuru: but Odd-rationale seems to have got his coffee today .. I haven't.. the live cd is a much better option
[15:06] <Odd-rationale> Slart: :)
[15:06] <hischild> can you edit the kernel options on lilo?
[15:06] <ComputerGuru> i'm teaching them to install linux on their own machines (that's what EasyBCD is for :)), but the maority will be using the school machines...
[15:06] <bella_> can anyone teach me how to change rw permission of files?
[15:06] <ender> zossso will amarok see it?
[15:06] <ComputerGuru> I'd be needing like 60 live CDs......
[15:06] <itai-michaelson> how do i channel the output of a command into a file?
[15:06] <Slart> bella_: chmod is what you need.. man chmod for info
[15:07] <ComputerGuru> wonder how fast I can burn those <loL>
[15:07] <ComputerGuru> itai-michaelson: use the ">" character
[15:07] <ender> zossso or anything else for that matter other than just viewing
[15:07] <Odd-rationale> ComputerGuru: You can just show then the installation, it is pretty strightforward. Maybe a handout with screenshots for them to keep would be nice.
[15:07] <Slart> itai-michaelson: use a > at the end.. ls -l > yourfile.txt
[15:07] <zossso> ender: a better solution... the `smbmount` command
[15:07] <itai-michaelson> Slart, ComputerGuru thanx
[15:08] <danand> ender - you can use the smbmount command to mount that - smbmount is part of the utils provided by the smbfs package - might need to sudo apt-get install smbfs. syntax is - smbmount //server/share /mountpoint     options can be used at the end behind the -o flage ie smbmount //server/share /mountpoint -o username=user   etc
[15:08] <ender> zossso: didn't know about that one, will try  do I just say smbmount //server/share ?
[15:08] <ender> danand : thanks! will try now
[15:08] <ComputerGuru> Odd-rationale: installation isn't the problem - it's a semester long course as a part of our countr's open source group/linux users group (i'm a founding member)....... but the linux install fest isn't until the end of the month. until then we're forbidden from changing the OSes
[15:09] <zossso> ender: I think `smbmount //server/share <mountpoint>`
[15:09] <ComputerGuru> so i have 4 weeks*2 classes/week with nothing more than ppt slides and a projector running Ubuntu - i think i like the live cd idea best :)
[15:09] <Odd-rationale> ComputerGuru: Your school is switching to f/oss?
[15:09] <zossso> ender: if you need a username/pw, there are some extra options you will need to specify
[15:10] <zossso> ender: might need to `apt-get install smbfs`
[15:10] <xander> hi is there any software for converting the mp3 songs to any other format in ubuntu??
[15:10] <ComputerGuru> Odd-rationale: kinda. i'm pushing it real hard, and got some teachers to agree to set linux as the default OS for the two biggest labs
[15:10] <Odd-rationale> ComputerGuru: Wow! congrat!!
[15:10] <erUSUL> !info soundconverter | xander
[15:10] <ubotu> xander: soundconverter (source: soundconverter): Convert audio files into other formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.6-1 (gutsy), package size 65 kB, installed size 428 kB
[15:10] <ender> I got it to work...THANKS...how do I unmount just in case?
[15:10] <webulator70> y'ello
[15:10] <zossso> ComputerGuru: unfortunate that you can't give a live demonstration
[15:11] <ComputerGuru> Odd-rationale: only problem is with educational software..... SynaptiCAD, Easy68k, Matlab, etc ar made for Windows :(
[15:11] <xander> whats the name of the package??
[15:11] <danand> xander - the package mp32ogg can convert mp3's to ogg-vorbis files :)
[15:11] <ComputerGuru> zossso: no, i have my laptop w/ ubuntu for the projecotor, so the presentation will be live
[15:11] <zossso> ender: np. `smbumount <mountpoint>`
[15:11] <ender> perfect
[15:11] <zossso> ender: nice.
[15:11] <bella_> slart its like impossible to understand to meto me
[15:11] <xukun> I need to make disk image of windows vista, is there a free software which I can use?
[15:11] <Odd-rationale> ComputerGuru: I have the same problem: I still have to have xp to use mymathlab. :(
[15:11] <ender> zossso danand: THANKS A TON!
[15:12] <zossso> ComputerGuru: excellent!
[15:12] <webulator70> I have an hp a6040n, i cant load the live cd up, does any one know any command line switches that could help?
[15:12] <danand> ender - np :)
[15:12] <webulator70> its a shaem really, never had these kind of things happen on my own machines but this hp was so cheap for me to get
[15:12] <webulator70> *shame
[15:12] <zossso> ComputerGuru: mathmatica is for linux i think
[15:13] <ComputerGuru> Odd-rationale: exactly. :-( and while OS alternatives exist, realistically the students won't be using them when they graduate. Jordan is a very Microsoft-centric environment
[15:13] <Slart> bella_: hmm.. are we talking about just one file here? if so you can just right click on it and select properties..
[15:13] <zossso> ComputerGuru: Check this out: http://www.schoolforge.net/
[15:13] <Odd-rationale> ComputerGuru: bug #1
[15:13] <ComputerGuru> webulator70: use noapic nolapic
[15:13] <webulator70> ComputerGuru: noted, thanks
[15:14] <ComputerGuru> webulator70: np
[15:14] <xander> i get a problem with a repository when i try to install any package how do i resolve it???
[15:14] <hischild> xander, error?
[15:14] <xander> error with some specific site
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> xander, Is it a repo you added yourself? anhd what are you trying to install
[15:15] <hischild> xander, what error does it give you
[15:15] <Oli``> Is there a way to make gnome show more places and bookmarks? If you have more than 5 it shoves them all in a folder
[15:15] <webulator70> ComputerGuru: i forgot, is it -noapic or with no - ?
[15:15] <ComputerGuru> just as-is, no "-"
[15:15] <xander> it says it cant downlaod the files from the repository
[15:15] <hischild> ComputerGuru,  wasn't it acpi=off ?
[15:15] <webulator70> ComputerGuru: ok
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> xander, Is it a repo you added yourself? anhd what are you trying to install
[15:15] <webulator70> thanks, off to try it
[15:15] <nuno> hello
[15:15] <ComputerGuru> hischild: that's for acpi, which is different from noapic
[15:16] <hischild> mkay
[15:16] <xander> when i try  to install quake it doesnt get installed..
[15:16] <xander> wat cud be the reason??
[15:16] <nuno> ola
[15:16] <erUSUL> !hi | nuno
[15:16] <ubotu> nuno: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ComputerGuru, I often need both of those command line modifiers
[15:16] <zossso> ComputerGuru: looks like http://www.schoolforge.net/ has an open forum on the topic of education/OSS.  got to go, but good luck
[15:17] <nuno> hello
[15:17] <xander> http://repoubuntusoftware.info/dists/gusty/all/ problem wid this apt line
[15:17] <erUSUL> xander: do not use third party repos if you do not want problems...
[15:17] <nuno> i have some conceptronic hdd and when i plug in nothing hapeens
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> xander, Are you running gutsy?
[15:17] <xander> ya..
[15:18] <ComputerGuru> Jack_Sparrow: that's possible. i personally don't have much trouble with acpi on modern machines though, just generic hardware problmes == apic..... but i gues it depends
[15:18] <erUSUL> nuno: usb?
[15:18] <nuno> yes
[15:18] <nuno> usb 2.0
[15:18] <ender> Another question: Is there a way to view windows remote desktop?
[15:18] <Jack_Sparrow> ComputerGuru, I have a whole list of different options if you want them.. generic-ide etc..
[15:19] <zossso> ender: look into xvncviewer
[15:19] <ComputerGuru> Jack_Sparrow: i think you can view them by hitting F* at the boot prompt, right?
[15:19] <erUSUL> nuno:  can you run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' on a terminal and the plug the hdd?? paste the new lines that appear on paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[15:19] <zossso> ender: VNC is your best bet
[15:19] <ender> zossso: alright thanks again
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> ComputerGuru, NOt all of them from what I can tell.
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> ComputerGuru, noapic acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, vga=791, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, ide=nodma, nomce, pnpbios=off, xdrvr=vesa, res=800x600, apm=off,pci=noapci, nolapic, all_generic_ide, nolapic, pci=assign-busses, pci=irqpoll, pci=biosirq, pnpbios=off, hpet=disable
[15:20] <zossso> ender: sure. got to go to class now. later.
[15:20] <ender> have fun
[15:20] <ComputerGuru> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[15:21] <xander> i get a gstreamer error when i play .rm files ...
[15:21] <Adylass> Hello, There is a user that is playing with me and he editing the sudoers file of a server so he could do "sudo su -". How I can block him to edit the sudoers file ? Thanks !
[15:21] <xander> how do i resolve it??
[15:21] <ComputerGuru> Odd-rationale: i placed an order for 100 CDs yesterday, any idea how long it usually takes to get a reply?
[15:21] <zossso> ender: *wishes I could just spend helping linux users*
[15:22] <hischild> how can i manually unmount swap?
[15:22] <mavi-> Adylass: remove him from sudoers
[15:22] <mavi-> then he cant get root and thus cant edit sudoers
[15:22] <ndlovu> can anyone tell me what fglxr is? Is it only for ATI video cards or does it work for Intel also?
[15:22] <mavi-> also, change the root-pass to something he doesnt know
[15:22] <Adylass> mavi-: Yeah, I know, but its more about a game then hes not respecting rules.
[15:23] <webulator70> ComputerGuru: nope, no luck, funny i remember no-something options working on my freinds dell but this seems different, x tries to load allot of times and fails, and it tells me it failed about 6 times and i should try again later but that obviously doesnt do anything, i know my parts are fine and its an intel 945 chipset with radeon x1600 btw
[15:23] <nuno> yes  i see ....MARK
[15:24] <cnStarz> Does anyone here know how to fix overscan on an nvidia card?
[15:24] <mavi-> Adylass: as long as he has root-access he can change sudoers file
[15:24] <danand> Adylass - check the permissions and ownership of the sudoers file
[15:25] <Adylass> mavi-: There is no way to filter by regex sudo ?
[15:25] <mavi-> Adylass: filter out users?
[15:25] <mavi-> Adylass: or what do you mean?
[15:25] <dgjones> webulator70, have you tried just using the alternate install cd? I have a toshiba laptop which won't do anything with the livecd, just crashes out after a while no matter what boot options I've tried, using the alternate cd I was able to install and configure the ATI graphics that seemed to be the problem
[15:25] <nuno> hello
[15:26] <xander> JACK_SPPAROW : i use a gutsy..
[15:26] <webulator70> dgjones: no, but i guess ill give it a shot
[15:26] <lilyth> what should the ownership of Virtual Machine files be?
[15:26] <Adylass> mavi-: Ya, I just want em to be forced to use sodo command. Not do "sudo su -" or sudo bash
[15:26] <stevecasper> hischild: i found the problem i had with the windows toolbar......i had installed emerald with compiz...causing some problem, removed emerald, resetup my compiz..and its all fixed.....
[15:27] <stevecasper> thanks for ur help though....and any1 who has ever helped me..
[15:27] <hischild> stevecasper, ok :-)
[15:27] <dgjones> webulator70, the one thing i didn't try was using the vesa boot option with the livecd, which is what i had to change to after i'd installed using the alternate cd, maybe thats worth trying before you try the alternate
[15:27] <mavi-> Adylass: just tell them about sudo -s?
[15:27] <mavi-> Adylass: remove su binary
[15:27] <mavi-> =)
[15:28] <webulator70> dgjones: i did try that, unfortunatly :(
[15:28] <lilyth> thatll do it
[15:28] <mavi-> Adylass: educate your users or remove root-access for them if you dont want that behaviour
[15:28] <mavi-> Adylass: they still can revert whatever regexps you do if they are root
[15:28] <dgjones> webulator70, right, thats that idea out of the window then
[15:29] <webulator70> dgjones: i googled it like mad but i dont think many people tried ubuntu on this machine
[15:30] <sudobash> Ubuntu is the shiznit
[15:30] <webulator70> so is this server im getting it from, its staying clear over a meg no prob
[15:30] <dgjones> webulator70, out of interest, what hp machine was it?
[15:30] <sudobash> and i say that because I am on a very slow PC right this second and I feel right at home after I tweak it out to its max
[15:31] <webulator70> dgjones: this ones an hp a6040n, usually i build my own and have no prob with linux but i had to get this, some one was selling it so cheap
[15:32] <ComputerGuru> best IRC client for Ubuntu? Windows?
[15:32] <webulator70> ComputerGuru: opera imo
[15:33] <sudobash> xchat/Bitchx Mirc for w32
[15:33] <webulator70> xircon was pretty decent on win
[15:33] <sudobash> opera isnt that good i dont think... everyone thinks it is lightweight but it uses more ram than firefox
[15:34] <webulator70> sudobash: negatory :)
[15:34] <sudobash> opera uses 45+ MB firefox most of the time 20-30 mb
[15:34] <LjL> !best > ComputerGuru    (ComputerGuru, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:34] <webulator70> firefox was always slugish scrolling webpages for me on any sys
[15:34] <webulator70> ffox 3 seems to finally fix that though
[15:34] <webulator70> opera is still the smoothest seeming
[15:35] <ComputerGuru> LjL: didn't know anout the poll rule., my apologies
[15:35] <sudobash> negative i am using a 500 mhz celeron with 256 mb and firefox seems to be running much better than opera
[15:35] <sudobash> not my pc but my gf
[15:35] <sudobash> even on live cd firefox is better
[15:35] <LjL> !ot
[15:35] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[15:36] <sudobash> konq is faster than all of them i think
[15:36] <webulator70> sudobash: i was talking about using it on windows though
[15:36] <webulator70> sudobash: on linux i just leave ffox on
[15:36] <sudobash> oh i see yes opera is better on windows probably
[15:36] <LjL> -> #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:36] <sudobash> but this is #ubuntu
[15:37] <LjL> yes, indeed, it's a channel where you answer Ubuntu support questions, not where you talk about which browser is best (especially which is best on Windows :)
[15:37] <webulator70> lol
[15:38] <webulator70> almost done, man i hope this works, i havent used ubuntu for a like 3 months now
[15:38] <sudobash> so whats up with this... hoax? http://www.bbspot.com/News/2001/06/gates.html
[15:38] <Slart> sudobash: it's bbspot.. nuf said =)
[15:38] <sudobash> lol
[15:39] <Ir1> Is tjis the place i can ask help if faq does not help?
[15:39] <Slart> sudobash: http://www.bbspot.com/Legal/about.html   but this it !ot =)
[15:39] <webulator70> Ir1: yes
[15:39] <Slart> Ir1: yes
[15:40] <Ir1> i just installed ubuntu to my computyer first time and i need some instal help
[15:40] <sudobash> this is more like it... http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2003-06-29-gates-linux_x.htm
[15:40] <Slart> Ir1: you've come to the right place.. what is the problem?
[15:40] <hackeron> hey, quick question - I have an amplified microphone plugged into line-in on the back of the PC - how do I get ekiga to use it? - It seems to only want to use microphones plugged into mic-in
[15:40] <sudobash> Bill Gates:  The idea is that we're in a competitive situation, that we're willing to provide a better price.
[15:40] <Ir1> this does not let me install any mozilla bluins
[15:40] <sudobash> better price than free?
[15:40] <LjL> sudobash, i realize there's (amazingly) little traffic right now, but please bring offtopic to #ubuntu-offtopic anyway
[15:40] <dgjones> !ot | sudobash
[15:40] <ubotu> sudobash: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[15:41] <Slart> Ir1: mozilla bluins? what is that?
[15:41] <sudobash> wow and people talk about windows apps and shit... I help people as much as I can here but Im sick of the constant nazi regime act
[15:42] <Ir1> sorry my bad english.. plugin
[15:42] <LjL> hackeron: i don't have Ekiga, but isn't it just a matter of enabling line-in recording in the GNOME mixer?
[15:42] <Slart> Ir1: ok.. you've got some mozilla plugin that doesn't work... which plugin is it?
[15:42] <Ir1> adblock
[15:42] <hischild> so yet another one of my lovely probz ...
[15:43] <Slart> Ir1: are you really using mozilla? not firefox?
[15:43] <hischild> why does my cpu only show up as a single core while i do have a dual core athlon 3800+?
[15:43] <erawfish_> hischild: uname -a
[15:43] <hackeron> LjL: I see a mic selection - I can choose mic1 or mic2, that's it :( - I can change the volume but that's output volume, not input volume
[15:43] <Ir1> mozilla firefox
[15:43] <hischild> erawfish_, what part do you need?
[15:43] <LjL> hackeron: is that in the mixer, or in Ekiga?
[15:43] <erawfish_> ALL of it
[15:44] <Slart> hischild: oh.. come on.. you can give us something more to work with.. how does it "show up as single core".. what tool are you using?
[15:44] <hackeron> LjL: mixer- there's nothing in ekiga
[15:44] <Slart> Ir1: ok.. and how do you try to install adblock?
[15:44] <hackeron> LjL: it just allows me to pick my soundcard
[15:44] <hischild> Slart, yeah ... if i knew what to give ... sec while i ssh to it so i can jst copy it
[15:44] <ZZT32> Is there a good way of sharing files over a network with tighter permissions?
[15:44] <mavi-> ZZT32: use ssh
[15:44] <Ulfalizer> does gusty gibon come with gcc-4 per default?
[15:45] <LjL> hackeron, i'm on KDE so can't really relate to the GNOME mixer, but i think there have to be recording selections. can you pastebin the output of « amixer » ?
[15:45] <erUSUL> Ulfalizer: yes
[15:45] <hischild> erawfish_, Linux hc 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[15:45] <Slart> ZZT32: tighter permissions? samba can be pretty tight.. or a ftp-server..
[15:45] <Ulfalizer> okay, thanks
[15:45] <ZZT32> mavi-, isn't that slower, though? Seeing as it's encrypted and all. Not ideal for old machines (I've a PII w/ 128MB of RAM)
[15:45] <hackeron> LjL: I tried various mixers :)
[15:45] <Ir1> i tryed to install adblock from aplications -> ad/remove -> internet -> adblock
[15:45] <hischild> Slart, under system monitor it shows up as a single one
[15:45] <Slart> Ir1: and what happened?
[15:45] <guevo> epale
[15:45] <erawfish_> hischild: should do fine with SMP. is there really only processor 0 in /proc/cpuinfo?
[15:45] <hackeron> LjL: not amixer though - what can I do with amixer?
[15:45] <mavi-> ZZT32: yea sure, if you hunt bits and milliseconds
[15:46] <hischild> erawfish_, yeah, only 1 shows up
[15:46] <hischild> want me to pastebin it
[15:46] <LjL> hackeron, the same things you can do with any other mixer. but aside from KMix, it's the only one i can give you instructions about (and the only one giving complete output to pastebin)
[15:46] <pitris> Hi guys, where can I set ubuntu not to boot to X but only to text mode?
[15:46] <ZZT32> Slart, does samba ignore preset permissions on shared files and only rely on its configuration?
[15:46] <Slart> hischild: hmm... my two cores show up there..that's odd
[15:46] <mavi-> ZZT32: nope
[15:46] <mavi-> ZZT32: samba uses noth
[15:46] <mavi-> both*
[15:47] <hischild> Slart, it used to show up before on the previous installs
[15:47] <hackeron> LjL: hmm, wait mixer says capture: off -- how do I turn it on, lo
[15:47] <hackeron> LjL: amixer*
[15:47] <Slart> ZZT32: I think you can configure it to do whichever you want
[15:47] <LjL> hackeron, can you please just pastebin the entire output first?
[15:47] <Ir1> "list of aplications is not available. click on reload to load it. to reload you need working internet connection"
[15:47] <erawfish_> hischild: the uname -a clearly says "SMP" and we know it's a SMP kernel.

[15:48] <ZZT32> Slart, in the docs I assume? :p

[15:48] <lilyth> webulator70  I have som VMs that are owned by a user that is gone
[15:48] <Ir1> how do you think that i can come to irc if i dont have working internet connection on this computer? :D
[15:48] <erUSUL> pitris: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[15:49] <webulator70> lilyth: oh, hmm i wouldnt know that wait for someone else to answer i guess
[15:49] <hackeron> LjL: let me see if I can do anything with the help of the man page, one sec
[15:49] <Slart> ZZT32: indeed =).. I think you can set permissions for who gets to connect to a share.. and you can set it so all file system operations are run as root meaning you can access all files regardless of permissions on your linux system (I'm not sure if this is a wise thing to do though)
[15:50] <Slart> hischild: how did you produce that info?
[15:50] <ZZT32> Slart, sounds like what I want. Not going to share an entire volume or anything :p Just subfolders.
[15:50] <hackeron> LjL: oh beautiful! - I had to press space in alsamixer - itworks now!
[15:50] <hackeron> LjL: thanks!
[15:50] <hischild> Slart, what do you mean? i did cat /proc/cpuinfo | pastebinit -b http://pastebin.com
[15:50] <grmbl> hi
[15:50] <Slart> hischild: I have an AMD x2 64bit too..  I can paste my info for comparison
[15:51] <hischild> Slart, please do ... at least some comparison then :-)
[15:51] <lilyth> how about vmrun? anyone familiar with that?
[15:51] <Slart> hischild: here's mine
[15:51] <Slart> http://pastebin.com/f49673765
[15:51] <Ir1> so.. what should i do
[15:51] <hackeron> LjL: wonder how the echo cancellaton is on line-in -- got a terrible echo in the test, lets make a call :)
[15:52] <LjL> hackeron: uhm, i don't think echo cancellation is a soundcard thing, but rather a software thing done within Ekiga
[15:52] <LjL> hackeron: of course you should have playback for line-in *disabled* in the mixer

[15:53] <Slart> Ir1: ah.. sorry.. didn't see your reply there.. please put my nick in the front of the line so it lights up here at my end..

[15:54] <rhineheart_m> anybody has an idea on this? Fatal error: Call to undefined function getEditorContents() in /var/www/joomla/administrator/components/com_content/admin.content.html.php on line 546?
[15:54] <hischild> rhineheart_m, that's a php error
[15:54] <gmachine_24> I have 7 items (supposedly) in my trash but I cannot seem to get rid of them. If I right click on the trash icon in the task bar and click 'open' a window opens but shows there are no files in the trash bin. So I'm at a loss.
[15:54] <hischild> rhineheart_m, not caused by ubuntu ... look at the error ...
[15:55] <zossso> grmbl: try `apt-get install python python2.5-dev`
[15:55] <Slart> hischild: ah.. you get one section for each core.. that makes sense
[15:55] <dgjones> gmachine_24, have you deleted something as root? maybe in a terminal after you'd used sudo?
[15:55] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, HAve you changed any of your sources.list?
[15:56] <gmachine_24> dgjones: very possibly yes.
[15:56] <grmbl> zossso: still this dep:
[15:56] <grmbl>   python2.5-dev: Depends: python2.5 (= 2.5.1~rc1-0ubuntu3) but 2.5.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[15:56] <zossso> grmbl: or might try System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager
[15:56] <hischild> Slart, yup ... yet i refuse to reinstall ... so either i find a way to fix it, or i'll stick with a single core
[15:56] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: *maybe*. i didnt install it.
[15:56] <gmachine_24> dgjones: is there a *special* place to look for those files?
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, Did you ever run a script called automatix or envy?
[15:57] <grmbl> zossso: i tried aptitude. it couldnt resolve the issue
[15:57] <Bartek> Hello!
[15:57] <dgjones> gmachine_24, i'm not sure, i'm just looking to see if i can see how you can delete them

[15:57] <Seb962> Good afternoon everyone!!!
[15:57] <Bartek> can someone help me with GNOME?
[15:57] <Slart> hischild:  what happens if you run a live cd? you get the same info?
[15:57] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: should i?
[15:57] <gmachine_24> dgjones: ok i'll be patient. thanks for your help.
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> never
[15:57] <hischild> Slart, no that runs fine (last time i checked was a few days ago)
[15:57] <Bartek> I am getting red fail on Starting GNOME display manager
[15:58] <Slart> hischild: have you changed your kernel? compiled a new one?
[15:58] <Bartek> and some error about FreeFontPath
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, try this..  apt-get install pastebinit
[15:58] <RomeReactor> gmachine_24: try this from a terminal: sudo rm -R ~/.Trash/*
[15:58] <erUSUL> hischild: maybe you are using 386 kernel instead of the generic one?
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, then  cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit and it gives you the web address   and give us the address of the pastebin...
[15:59] <Ir1> Slart: i still dont get it :/
[15:59] <Ir1> Slart, i dunno what i should do with theese aplications caus this is first linux expiriense for me
[15:59] <hischild> erUSUL, uname gives Linux hc 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux so i doubt i changed it without me knowing so
[15:59] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: the source list is a local mirror
[16:00] <Bartek> Please help me! I am getting red "fail" when loading "Starting GNOME Display Manager" and when try to "startx" getting error about FreeFontPath!
[16:00] <erUSUL> hischild: problem is it only detects one core? do you use any boot option?
[16:00] <hischild> erUSUL, might be cause it installed lilo instead of grub? and the only boot option it has is acpi=off (won't boot without it)
[16:00] <Ir1> brb

[16:01] <Xteven> hi, I have an ubuntu packaging question: my package shows up in "apt-cache show" but not when I go to Applications -> Add/Remove and search for it. Why could that be ?
[16:02] <hischild> erUSUL, if i remove acpi=off it refuses to boot in general. And it worked like this before i reinstalled
[16:02] <Bartek> so nobody?
[16:02] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.stgraber.org/1165
[16:02] <LjL> Xteven, Add/Remove only shows a selection of packages (mainly those with a GUI)
[16:02] <RomeReactor> gmachine_24: it's RomeReactor; try without the asterisk: sudo rm -R ~/.Trash
[16:02] <hischild> erUSUL, it would appear my motherboard has a tick that causes wierd stuff to happen ..
[16:02] <erUSUL> hischild: then dunno what is happening
[16:02] <Xteven> LjL: how can I get my packages in there ?
[16:02] <hischild> erUSUL, me neither :(
[16:02] <Finnish> Hullo, everyone
[16:03] <LjL> Xteven: you don't. use Synaptic instead
[16:03] <W8TAH|class> good morning all - i have several Linux file servers (Most running LVM) is there a way that i can "Combine" them so that they act as one large hdd?
[16:03] <yoyo> #hack
[16:03] <Bartek> please someone!
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, You have main repo rem'd out?
[16:03] <sandr-> software raid or something?
[16:03] <Xteven> LjL: hmm, but how does it determine whether or not to show a package in the GUI ?
[16:03] <gmachine_24> romereactor, i just get another command line prompt and the items are still listed as being in the trash bin
[16:03] <LjL> Xteven: ah, wait, you mean your *own* packages that you created?
[16:03] <macogw> W8TAH|class: er....if they're separate file server each booting off themselves, no...
[16:04] <Ir1> back
[16:04] <macogw> W8TAH|class: if you have multiple drives in one computer, that could be made to act like one big drive by LVM

[16:04] <RomeReactor> gmachine_24: are they hidden files--meaning, do the file names begin with a dot?
[16:04] <macogw> aquarius: uninstall it?
[16:04] <Xteven> LjL: thx! :)
[16:04] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: eh? on the apt-cacher? i dont know to be honest
[16:05] <aquarius> macogw: ah, I might want it in the future :)
[16:05] <Ir1> slart, i have no idea what this mean (18:01:37) Slart: Ir1: or rather.. "sudo apt-get update"
[16:05] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, the sources list you posted, has the MAIN repo disabled.
[16:05] <Slart> Ir1: open a terminal/console.. type in this: sudo apt-get update
[16:05] <aquarius> I could use update-rc.d to remove gdm from init, but I don't know if that's the best way.
[16:05] <LjL> Xteven: if that doesn't clear it up, you may also want to ask in #ubuntu-devel and/or #ubuntu-motu, although they're not strictly speaking support channels, so don't be surprised if they redirect you somewhere else
[16:06] <RomeReactor> Bartek: what's the problem?
[16:06] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: but only the commercial, or not?
[16:06] <macogw> aquarius: sudo update-rc.d gdm stop
[16:06] <macogw> aquarius: oh haha you just said that.  yeah, thats probably the easiest
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, you only have multiverse and universe enabled.
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> grmbl, I gotta run.. bbl
[16:07] <macogw> aquarius: or you could stop it on init 2
[16:07] <grmbl> Jack_Sparrow: ok. thanks.
[16:07] <gmachine_24> rome, i can't find the file names. i look in the trash bin and it appears empty
[16:07] <macogw> aquarius: like sudo update-rc.d gdm 2 stop
[16:07] <kyle__> hi how do i get permission to move stuff into usr/local/games ?
[16:07] <macogw> aquarius: and then put 2 at the end of the boot parameters so it always boots to runlevel 2, but i think 2 is ubuntu's default
[16:07] <zossso> Mouse clicks don't change focus when I click in app window.  Only when clicked on titlebar.  Any ideas?
[16:08] <RomeReactor> gmachine_24: press CTRL+H while in the trash can in Nautilus
[16:08] <Slart> zossso: I think it's a feature. you can change it in System, Preferences, Windows afaik
[16:08] <aquarius> macogw: hrm. says "expected runlevel" as an error. the man page for update-rc.d confuses me :(
[16:08] <Ir1> slart: still no help'
[16:08] <kyle__> hi how do i get permission to move stuff into usr/local/games ?
[16:08] <gmachine_24> rome, i have already enabled the show hidden files and it still shows nada
[16:09] <gmachine_24> romereactor, that is
[16:09] <Ir1> slart: i still got same "error" message
[16:09] <zossso> Slart: Sweet!  Don't know what happened to my previous settings, but this is even better than what I had. thx a million
[16:09] <gmachine_24> dgjones, thanks. i will check it out
[16:09] <macogw> aquarius: oh i think you need to tell it which to start on and which to stop on
[16:09] <RomeReactor> gmachine_24: weird; try restarting the panels from the system monitor
[16:09] <Slart> Ir1: open a terminal/console.. type in this: sudo apt-get update     <--- did you do this? do you need help opening a terminal?
[16:10] <Slart> zossso: you're welcome
[16:10] <macogw> aquarius: if you do that you can do "init 3" to get back to gui.  if you dont care to be able to do that and are fine with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" then just go with remove
[16:10] <Ir1> yes i did it
[16:10] <Slart> Ir1: any output? errors?
[16:10] <macogw> aquarius: ill be back in like 5-10 minutes. i have to go to class

[16:11] <kippy> hey Guys even fter giving the htdocs directory(LAMP) all the requied persmissions and copying my php files to the folder i cant access them through apache.. any solutions?
[16:12] <Slart> Ir1: open System, Administration, Software sources
[16:12] <zossso> kyle__: so something like `sudo cp /home/kyle/games /usr/local/games` will copy your games dir to /usr/local
[16:12] <Slart> Ir1: make sure the five options on the first page has a checkmark next to them
[16:13] <Ir1> slart none of them has
[16:13] <Slart> Ir1: and the "Download from:" pulldown menu should say something like "Server for Finland".. or main server
[16:13] <crashoweride> ciao
[16:13] <Slart> Ir1: nope.. that's the problem.. just click the box so they are checked

[16:14] <graelb> Thank you sir! or... mam! =P
[16:14] <zancdar> Hello
[16:14] <zossso> kyle__: that is new to me too!
[16:14] <LjL> graelb: the "right thing" is to create an init.d compliant script and then add it for boot with "update-rc.d". but you could just run it from /etc/rc.local
[16:15] <Slart> Ir1: yes.. and when it's done the add/remove thingy should work too
[16:15] <zancdar> I'm on kubuntu testing and I install kubuntu-kde4-desktop to have KDE 4 version how can I remove KDE3 with all his dependencies?
[16:15] <Slart> LjL: run on login.. not boot
[16:15] <graelb> Just call it from inside rc.local?
[16:16] <LjL> Slart, graelb: good point... i'm not sure i know the correct answer to that one.
[16:16] <Kleggen> kyle__: try "gksudo nautilus /" and use the one window...
[16:16] <Slart> LjL: well.. there's always the nice gui way of using System, Preferences, Sessions.. easy to point and click
[16:17] <kyle__> aha that work cheers kleggen
[16:17] <graelb> LjL: that's ok! thanks for that. I'll be able to work it out from here, I already found out about rc.local and running the update on it... but i didn't realize a script had to be compliant for it to work
[16:17] <kyle__> how come you can't just do it normally?
[16:17] <Pip> Can I order for 8.04 ?
[16:17] <zossso> kyle__, Kleggen: even better
[16:17] <LjL> Slart: yes, but does that work as expected with a script? i know it's intended to re-run graphical programs on login
[16:17] <kyle__> why cant they just ask you for a password? and then allow you to do styuff?
[16:17] <LjL> graelb, no, for /etc/rc.local it doesn't
[16:17] <zossso> kyle__: security has it's downfalls
[16:17] <Slart> LjL: I use it to mount some samba volumes when I login .. works nicely
[16:17] <kyle__> ahh :)
[16:17] <LjL> graelb, if you want it to run on *logic*, see Slart
[16:18] <kyle__> hopefully i'll pick up all this stuff over time :)
[16:18] <zossso> kyle__: but at least you have a solid OS
[16:18] <graelb> LjL: Right, i wrote a script and put it into /etc/init.d/ and ran the update, but it didn't work. And from what you said, it's because it wasn't rc.local Compliant
[16:18] <kyle__> yeah i'm not complaining it's just all new to me that's all :)
[16:18] <graelb> init.d compliant *
[16:18] <W8TAH|class> i would like to speak to someone about using iSCSI on ubuntu Dapper server to create a large storage environment

[16:18] <dgjones> Pip, not yet, when its released, you should be able to order it from shipit, at the moment, they only offer Ubuntu 7.10 - https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[16:19] <zossso> kyle__: understand :)  me too!
[16:19] <Pip> I see
[16:19] <kes0> hello , my mouse stop work sometimes so i have to pull it out and back in so it start again ?
[16:19] <Slart> kyle__: I don't think linux has ever had the "this is not allowed unless you're root so I'm going to use sudo even though you didn't specify it" thingy
[16:19] <LjL> graelb: most likely. it needs to respond to "start" and "stop" commands at least. see /etc/init.d/skeleton
[16:20] <graelb> LjL: Thanks! =) made my day

[16:23] <ender> Question: Does anyone know how to set up an smb mount in fstab so that it reloads when I restart?
[16:23] <mavi-> Slart: do you know ssh?
[16:24] <kes0> zossso sometimes its like 20 minutes between the times and sometime like 3 mins , installed ubuntu 6.06 yesterday and the mouse have die from the start
[16:24] <Slart> mavi-: I've met him once or twice.. =)
[16:24] <mavi-> Slart: if you do ssh -X host
[16:24] <mavi-> Slart: then all X programs you start will be shown at localhost
[16:24] <FastZ> I'm an ex-ninja.
[16:24] <mavi-> Slart: the ones you start at the remote host that is
[16:24] <Kleggen> Slart:What about using "ssh -X hostname" and then run the program?
[16:24] <Slart> mavi-: that sounds awsome.. I'm off to try that straight away
[16:25] <mavi-> Slart: else X is really a network server, but is firewalled for all but localhost
[16:25] <ender> Question: Does anyone know how to set up an smb mount in fstab so that it remounts when I restart?
[16:25] <PreNoob> would anyone know why after i installed libJama-Java, I still cant use "import Jama.*;"? it says Jama doesnt exist..... ? :S
[16:25] <mavi-> Slart: so you can open ports and send windows everywhere =) but ssh method is much better
[16:25] <ender> I have it mounted already in /media/storage but it will not stay when I restart
[16:25] <zossso> kes0: Have you tried to update the kernel?
[16:25] <dgjones> kes0, i had a similar problem with a USB mouse, i had to modify the startup command to add "noapic nolapic" to the boot paramaters
[16:26] <mee72> LjL: thanks for the link

I was thinking about the package manager (rpm/deb/etc), the desktop env (kde/gnome/etc). What else? Give me as many as you can think of. THANK YOU
[16:27] <Slart> hischild: ah.. I've used vnc before.. but that feels really cramped.. =)
[16:27] <ArmedKing> Can anyone tell me or change line 9 in my fstab http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58384/ to make that directory usable by user king i cant figure it out
[16:28] <dgjones> gmachine_24, I'm here for 5 minutes and thats all
[16:28] <gmachine_24> all.... linux.... distros.... very amusing there
[16:28] <zossso> kes0: dgjones might have your fix... see above
[16:28] <kes0> dgjones: ok , its damn enoying :p
[16:28] <hischild> Slart, i always used vnc on windows ... but yeah it feels .. "off"
[16:28] <kes0> dgjones: where do i write that ?
[16:28] <gmachine_24> dgjones, i *fixed* the trash problem by rebooting the computer.
[16:28] <kes0> <-- beginner :P
[16:29] <kes0> zossso: yea , thx =)
[16:30] <dgjones> kes0, in a terminal, tyoe "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst", look for the line "boot: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash" or something similar (the kernel version could be different) and after ro quiet splash, add "noapic nolapic" and then save the file and restart
[16:31] <yao_ziyua1> there is a usability bug: if some packages in my apt database have broken dependencies, Adept-Manager won't install/upgrade any packages. i have to manually find and remove the broken packages. this is very unfriendly to new users.
[16:31] <tom17bombadil_> hiho
[16:31] <openros> i tried to copy some contents to my lap from a pc
[16:31] <openros> i got the following error
[16:31] <hischild> yao_ziyua1, if a package has broken dependencies it shouldn't be installed int he first place
[16:31] <tom17bombadil_> i try to instal a firefox32 on my amd64-system

[16:32] <mavi-> yao_ziyua1: but if it helps, it was way way worse before
[16:32] <yao_ziyua1> i think if adept-manager can't do something it must tell me exactly which packages involved are the problem
[16:32] <apurva_> help help

[16:35] <yao_ziyua1> i think adept-manager currently has too brief error messages
[16:35] <zackyramone> zossso: when i run WoW from terminal
[16:36] <yao_ziyua1> it should translate apt-get's error messages in english
[16:36] <yao_ziyua1> instead of saying 'apt-manager runs into problems...'
[16:36] <yao_ziyua1> 'probably because some downloads are incomplete or some packages are broken"

[16:57] <AngryAnt> Would a comma simply be enough?
[16:57] <zackyramon1> zossso: yes did it but WoW wont work anyways so now i will download the nvidia-glx-package again
[16:57] <AngryAnt> Like so: Port 22, 537

[16:57] <zossso> zackyramon1: k
[16:58] <zackyramon1> zossso: i shouldnt try envy, right?
[16:58] <roddytherat> elbuenob:  I think the normal ubuntu intel version will work fine.
[16:58] <Pici> AngryAnt: I have my Port directives on two separate lines. I'm not sure if a comma will work
[16:58] <zossso> zackyramon1: haven't tried envy myself, so no advice on that
[16:58] <AngryAnt> Ok. I'll follow your way.
[16:58] <mr_daniel> I am optimizing my xorg.conf by hand and have found this line in my Module-Section: 'load i2c'
[16:58] <elbuenob> okay - sounds good - any links you can provide for the Intel install?
[16:58] <helpfromu> anyone in here knows how can i play amr file? what program?
[16:58] <mr_daniel> what is the purpose of the i2c module?

[17:00] <guest8> I didn't see an option in the screensaver dialog to set it to "Water Effect".
[17:00] <raiderxx> I must say, for JUST switching over to ubuntu from Vista...
[17:00] <raiderxx> wow...
[17:00] <zackyramon1> zossso: Jack_Sparrow and IndyGunFreak were helping me
[17:00] <zossso> zackyramon1: let me know how it goes.  don't think there is support for geforce4 though
[17:01] <zossso> zackyramon1: I mean in the nvidia-glx-new
[17:01] <hischild> !envy
[17:01] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »

[17:02] <openros>  i tried to use scp to copy, iam getting the error Host key verification failed. help me what should i do
[17:02] <hischild> openros, you have to delete the conflicting key in your known_hosts file

[17:04] <hischild> zossso, next to that the nvidia main drivers have been known to break systems more then once ..

[17:05] <openros> ya got it
[17:06] <openros> should i have to delete the file
[17:06] <zossso> zackyramon1: best option might be to look into a newer videocard
[17:06] <katakaio> magic: Try System -> Preferences -> PalmOS devices
[17:06] <hischild> zossso, giving an options that more then likely would break his system with a guide that's not for ubuntu isn't exactly a good option ...
[17:06] <magic> i know
[17:07] <magic> but its not recognizeble
[17:07] <Jack_Sparrow> roddytherat, If that ubuntu is a fresh install, put windows back on as master, and reinstall ubuntu on the slave drive
[17:07] <katakaio> magic: What device do you have?
[17:07] <openros> even if i delete i am getting the same erroe
[17:07] <zossso> hischild: my mistake
[17:07] <magic> its ipaq 19x

[17:10] <guest8> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, i already have it, but there's no option to set an effect as screensaver
[17:10] <katakaio> magic: I know nothing about reformatting a WinOS PDA to a Linux distro, but it sounds intriguing
[17:10] <openros> only scp gives this error
[17:10] <zossso> zackyramon1: yeah. don't want to break your system though.

[17:14] <zackyramone> Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks ill be AFK for now
[17:15] <Jared555> stupid question.... what is the big reason for kde over gnome/gnome over kde?
[17:15] <llama2> taking a while thou
[17:15] <ubunt1> Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
[17:15] <mavi-> Jared555: politics and/or religion
[17:15] <mavi-> Jared555: also, kde sucks
[17:15] <mavi-> =D
[17:15] <denny> jared555: many many years ago there was a licensing reason - KDE didn't have a fully 'free' license
[17:15] <katakaio> llama2: Yeah, it's not the fastest, but it gets the job done
[17:15] <denny> nowadays, personal preference mostly
[17:15] <zossso> Jared555: it is a matter of global warming.. actually, opinions
[17:15] <jamil> ello there.
[17:15] <Jared555> I am asking for TECHNICAL reasons
[17:16] <jamil> So i'm wondering, is there a channel for the ultra-nooby linux user?
[17:16] <llama2> lol i only got 1000 and some thing songs on it
[17:16] <denny> they're both software, and therefore made almost entirely of bugs - pick whichever one you're happiest working with  ;)
[17:16] <Jack_Sparrow> zackyramone, You did enable the Restricted Drivers Manager correct..?
[17:16] <denny> jamil: ##linux is fairly tolerant of simple questions
[17:16] <apurva> ok katakaio
[17:16] <cliebow> jamil:generally so much traffic cant get a word in edgewise
[17:16] <llama2> grr its asked me to build a new db
[17:16] <jamil> hm
[17:17] <zossso> Jared555: it is truly a matter of opinions. there are quite a few technical differences, but too many to list here.
[17:17] <cliebow> ask away...
[17:17] <apurva> i am having problems with my NVIDiA drivers
[17:17] <jamil> Well, i understand some of the basics of linux. It's just I have no knowledge of commands for the terminal and what-not.
[17:17] <katakaio> Sorry, gtg . . . good luck all!
[17:17] <cliebow> what would yyou like to do?
[17:17] <replicant> is there some place i can look for what devices "device mapper" tries to access at boot time?
[17:17] <llama2> ty cya
[17:17] <mavi-> Jared555: there are none, maybe if you are a developer, then Gnome is C and KDe is C++
[17:17] <net`split> hi
[17:17] <Pip> At which level should I read Effective C++ ?
[17:17] <mavi-> Jared555: but both plattforms can do the same stuff
[17:17] <mavi-> Pip: after you understand the basics
[17:17] <apurva> i have posted the problem here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=714977
[17:18] <net`split> hey, somebody who uses conky in here?
[17:18] <W8TAH> when using iSCSI does it treat all the hard disk storage as one large disk (spread across multiple machines) or does it see them as individual volumes?

[17:18] <cliebow> jamil:what would you like to do?
[17:18] <zossso> ubunt1: do you have a thinkpad?
[17:18] <Arso_> hey guys
[17:18] <apurva> i installed NVIDIA drivers that work fine but restricted driver manager replaces it when i try to enable it help please@
[17:18] <mavi-> Pip: also, C++ is a very hard language to start with
[17:19] <zackyramone> Jack_Sparrow: yeah definetely
[17:19] <llama2> hmm myspace look really messy on Ubntu
[17:19] <Pip> mavi-, feel
[17:19] <Pip> felt
[17:19] <mavi-> Pip: i would recomend getting some years experience before you start with some higher level language, like python
[17:19] <apurva> can anyone help me with nvidia drivers?
[17:19] <Arso_> i bought a new 500gb sata drive, and want to format it from the ubuntu live cd, how do i do that please  ? :D
[17:20] <Pip> mavi-, You recommend some script language to me ?
[17:20] <mavi-> hehe
[17:20] <mavi-> yes
[17:20] <zossso> apruva: might try to '/join #nvidia' they helped me a lot yesterday
[17:20] <mavi-> if you want to call it a script language
[17:20] <Pip> mavi-, Why later for python ?
[17:20] <mavi-> Pip: the other way around =)
[17:21] <Arso_> anyone ? :(
[17:21] <mavi-> Pip: start with python or any high level language, then when you got that under control you can do C++
[17:21] <zossso> apruva: many in here suggest not to manually install the nvidia drivers. it has been known to break ubuntu
[17:21] <muchacho> how would you control nfs shares on a per user basis?  meaning, can you export nfs shares on a per user basis using ldap or something?
[17:22] <zossso> ubunt1: look at-- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/133105

[17:23] <apurva> thanks zossso
[17:23] <Pip> how deep to understand a higher level one ?
[17:23] <zossso> apruva: sure
[17:23] <mavi-> Pip: i just wouldnt recomend anyone to go C++ as first language to learn, when there are so many nicer languages out there
[17:24] <mavi-> Pip: when you feel comfortable
[17:24] <mavi-> Pip: or when you need it
[17:24] <Lunks> My touchpad scroll area isn't working. It's just an extension of the touchpad itself. How can I make it scroll?

[17:33] <frank_> Lasivian: hmm... I don't know anything about that so good luck ;-)
[17:34] <apurva> mavi- : actually when i install the driver, values in conf are fine.. but when i enable the driver, the manager replaces it with some other driver.... here are the details if you please have a look
[17:34] <apurva> mavi- : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4452446#post4452446
[17:34] <mavi-> apurva: im looking
[17:34] <mavi-> apurva: dont install the driver manually
[17:34] <Lasivian> zossso: that post would seem to indicate it's simply broken rght now without a fix
[17:35] <frank_> Lasivian: that's a pretty old page. it says: Use hostap drivers from Ubuntu linux kernel.
[17:35] <mavi-> apurva: the restricted manager doesnt know anythingh about the one you've downloaded yourself
[17:35] <mavi-> apurva: so its trying to enable the one it knows about instead
[17:35] <mavi-> apurva: i dont know if the nvidia-installer comes with an un-installer
[17:35] <zossso> Lasivian: yeah.  I wish I had an orinoco card b/c-- 1) to help you 2) to wardrive again
[17:36] <mavi-> apurva: but if it does, remove it and then use restricted manager to install the nvidia-driver
[17:36] <apurva> mavi- : the manager does not install this version... but it is thee correct one as i know from NVIDIA support for my card what should i do?
[17:36] <hwilde_> any way to monitor the data throughout of /dev/ttyUSB0 ?
[17:36] <zossso> Lasivian: Orinoco are sweet cards
[17:36] <mavi-> and the version that restricted-manager installs doesnt work?
[17:36] <mavi-> apurva: and the version that restricted-manager installs doesnt work?
[17:36] <apurva> mavi- : it doesn't
[17:37] <mavi-> apurva: then dont use restricted-manager at all, and only use the installer
[17:37] <mavi-> apurva: what you are doing now is trying to use two diffrent installers to do the same thing
[17:37] <mavi-> and they are messing it up for eachother
[17:37] <apurva> mavi- : then i cannot enable extra effects for display :( it asks me to enable the driver in manager
[17:38] <mavi-> apurva: then the nvidia-installer doesnt work
[17:38] <mavi-> apurva: make sure its using your driver
[17:38] <mavi-> apurva: there exists hundreds of guides to do this on teh google
[17:38] <apurva> mavi- : the logs show that the driever is selected
[17:39] <mavi-> apurva: then start compiz
[17:39] <raiderxx> Ok, so the cube app. has been enabled, how do I work it?
[17:39] <mavi-> raiderxx: ctrl-alt mouseclick
[17:39] <mavi-> raiderxx: or ctrl-alt-arrowkeys
[17:39] <apurva> mavi- : how?
[17:39] <mavi-> apurva: type "compiz --replace&" in a terminal
[17:40] <apurva> mavi- : it ended with errors....
[17:40] <mavi-> what errors? thats your actual problem there =)
[17:41] <apurva> mavi- : how do i use pastebin?
[17:41] <Lasivian> hostap drivers, ok
[17:41] <mavi-> apurva: you have to figure that one out yourself, no idea
[17:41] <raiderxx> hmm.. none of the advanced settings are taking into effect..
[17:41] <apurva> mavi- : Checking for Xgl: not present.
[17:42] <EminX> Is it possible to run compiz on Ubuntu 7.10 installed on VirtualBox
[17:42] <apurva> mavi- : /usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format
[17:42] <mavi-> apurva: then you need to enable xgl
[17:42] <mavi-> apurva: google "nvidia xgl ubuntu"
[17:42] <apurva> mavi- : ok
[17:43] <EminX> Is it possible to run compiz on Ubuntu 7.10 installed on VirtualBox
[17:43] <Pici> mavi-: Telling people to 'google something' isn't an acceptable solution here.

[17:45] <Pip> azuki, What did you installed ?
[17:46] <Pip> before ubuntu
[17:46] <Pici> bod_: iirc, awn has the best eye candy, but I'm not sure if its in the repositories.  'dock' should be sufficient for searching.
[17:46] <azuki> pip: linux ubuntu, but it hides administration options from me
[17:46] <azuki> pip: also, I can't find the place to add the nvidia package (activating it)
[17:46] <bod_> Pici, ok cheers, thanks alot ;~)
[17:47] <azuki> pip: and many many many more things, but I'll play with it :)..
[17:47] <runewolf> Anyone managed to install an ati radeon x1950 under gutsy?
[17:47] <Pip> azuki, update your package database
[17:47] <azuki> I updated totally
[17:47] <EminX> brobostigon: thanx anyway, I found the answer on #compiz, they said it doesn't work
[17:47] <Lasivian> frank_: thanks BTW, I totally missed that line directing me to Hostap
[17:47] <azuki> but the option is in the administration part of system.. but it's nearly empty :/
[17:48] <bod_> Pici, haha, awn-manager is in repo's but no awn,. il search the web,.,.;~)
[17:48] <Lasivian> downloadingthe hostap package now
[17:48] <Pip> azuki, what you mean by "administration" ?
[17:48] <Pip> root ?
[17:48] <azuki> pip, system >> administration
[17:48] <Pip> Ah,empty ?
[17:48] <Pici> azuki: What 'option' are you looking for?
[17:48] <Lasivian> Pip: He means Bush has his OS classified, heh
[17:48] <azuki> not totally
[17:49] <gnychis> is the Gutsy commercial repository up yet?
[17:49] <azuki> but the package software and stuff isn't there anymore
[17:49] <Pip> So...

[17:51] <bod_> Pici, i made a mistake ,.,. fyi awn is in the repo's but its called 'avant-window-navigator' so you have to search for 'avant' -- just lettin you know,.,.;~)
[17:51] <azuki> pici: no.. I don't.. that's the hole problem
[17:51] <Pici> azuki: Have you changed anything?

[17:58] <azuki> as ... root...
[17:58] <azuki> hmmm
[17:58] <ubuntufreak> Is it possible to boot as 'root' in Ubuntu
[17:58] <venOm`> hi
[17:58] <Pip> It's fine to get fresh start ,I just want to know how familiar ubuntu is to you
[17:58] <azuki> would my username be root?
[17:58] <Pici> azuki: Do you remember how you logged in?
[17:59] <zackyramone> can any one help me with nvidia geforce4 driver
[17:59] <bod_> Hey guys, could you help me with a few things please, i have awn installed, but what does the message at the end of this pastebin mean? -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58390/ -- also is there a way to make 'awn' a command in the terminal that runs 'avant-window-navigator' ?
[17:59] <azuki> with my uzer name, set password
[17:59] <venOm`> can someone help me with gpodder
[17:59] <gmachine24> ubuntufreak, you can boot to a command line log in and then sign in as root
[17:59] <webulator70> zackyramone: yeah
[17:59] <Pici> azuki: Can you open a terminal, and pastebin me the results of lsb_release -a ?
[17:59] <Pici> !paste | azuki
[17:59] <ubotu> azuki: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined 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 channel topic)
[17:59] <webulator70> zackyramone: i used to use it
[18:00] <webulator70> zackyramone: what do you need to know?
[18:00] <ubuntufreak> gmachine24: but my friend has a login named 'root' and boots in it, is that possible ?
[18:00] <Pici> !root | ubuntufreak
[18:00] <ubotu> ubuntufreak: 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
[18:00] <zackyramone> webulator: i need to get my opengl working but when i instrall my geforce4 driver my x wont start
[18:00] <nickrud> bod_: simply that it loaded that module;  and  add   alias awn='avant-window-navigator' to ~/.bashrc
[18:00] <gmachine24> ubuntufreak, the user name is "root"?
[18:01] <webulator70> zackyramone: on 7.10 im guessing?
[18:01] <bod_> nickrud, cheers, does 'avant-wondow-navigator' need to be in single quotes?
[18:01] <ubuntufreak> gmachine24: Yep
[18:01] <nickrud> bod_: Works for Me™ ;)
[18:01] <Pip> zackyramone, $head -1 /etc/issue
[18:01] <bod_> nickrud, quotes it is then ty ;~)
[18:01] <zackyramone> webulator70: yeah just installed it
[18:01] <yettenet> Good day! I was wondering how much stable Hardy is. Is it worth trying? :)
[18:01] <webulator70> zackyramone: did you try envy?
[18:01] <gpled> when i install 7.10 from live cd, seems like i have to do a ton of updating.  is their a newer version if 7.10 iso that has most of these updates in them?

[18:03] <webulator70> zackyramone: oh, i have an ati card now and envy is the only thing that actually works for me.... do you have an updated bios? my comp with the 4200 needed to have a bios update before i could even get close to running gfx drivers
[18:03] <neopsyche> erawfish_, sane does not see my scanner.
[18:03] <erawfish_> neopsyche: see the links? use them!
[18:03] <jddk23> Thank you NeverBlue. I tried installing versions 6.06 and 7.10, different ISO, mirrors, CD, and always changed the CD Drive, but the installation always gets stuck at 6%
[18:04] <ompaul> jddk23, ubuntu server has a channel #ubuntu-server
[18:04] <zackyramone> webulator70: no i dunno what that is...but WoW did run on Windows XP.. back when i had it
[18:04] <neverblue> jddk23, there are tools on the media to both test the CD and to test your RAM (memtest), you should attempt both those
[18:04] <wuanvini> hola
[18:04] <Pici> !es | wuanvini
[18:04] <jddk23> Thank you....I'm changing there...I'm sorry :-(
[18:05] <webulator70> zackyramone: i could use xp fine but for any linux distro to have working graphics drivers i needed to have my bios updates
[18:05] <Pici> jddk23: no need to apologize
[18:05] <wuanvini> a;guien que hable espa;ol
[18:05] <webulator70> zackyramone: *updated
[18:05] <jddk23> I'll try those tolls and if nothing happens I"ll move to the other channel!! Thankyou NeverBlue!!

[18:05] <webulator70> zackyramone: what motherboard do you have?
[18:05] <bod_> nickrud, i have a /root/.bashrc  ? shall i add the alias there?
[18:05] <neverblue> jddk23, no problem, good luck
[18:05] <Lasivian> anyone know how I force 7.10 to use the hostap driver for my Orinoco card?
[18:06] <zackyramone> webulator70: how can i find out what motherboard i have?
[18:06] <Pici> bod_: Are you logging in as root?
[18:06] <jddk23> Thank you!! Have a great day! Jorge
[18:06] <kakti> hörs
[18:06] <zef> hi
[18:06] <webulator70> zackyramone: are you running a name brand computer or a custom built one?
[18:06] <Lasivian> i'm seeing alot of conflicting advice on the net, blacklist in one palce, blacklist in another, remove it by hand in /lib/modules...
[18:06] <bod_> Pici, no, sorry i tried cd'ing to ~/.bashrc and it wouldnt let me,.,. i thought it didnt exist, but i just locate bashrc  and found it thanks,.,.sorry bout that nickrud
[18:07] <kakti> 1st time of irc allez
[18:07] <zackyramone> webulator70: i guess its custom built..my motherboard is an asus but the model i dont know
[18:07] <zef> i try to install ubuntu on external usb hard drive, bios detect the usb hard drive , when i try to boot it appear boot error
[18:07] <webulator70> zackyramone:  asus makes updating a bios pretty easy if you dl and run their auto update util
[18:07] <webulator70> zackyramone: ill look for it, one sec...
[18:08] <zackyramone> webulator70: then my 3d will work?
[18:08] <zef> after a few search on ubuntuforum i find this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510030&highlight=macbook+usb+boot+error
[18:08] <webulator70> zackyramone: it may, it may not but that helped me, before that nothing i did would get linux gfx drivers to work, after it, it was as easy as running the restricted manager
[18:08] <zef> i don't know what the guy kson trying to say
[18:09] <zef> Nothing worked until I used a 100mb big partition on my main harddrive as /boot and installed grub on that instead of any MBR. Now Refit shows Mac, Win and Linux on the main drive. Then grub is responsible for loading ubuntu from the external drive.
[18:09] <zef> Now I got MacOSX, Windows XP and /boot on the internal 80gb drive and Ubuntu on an external 300gb drive.
[18:09] <zef> Happy Days! Ubuntu works great on a Macbook! Even my bluetooth mouse!
[18:09] <zackyramone> webulator: wouldnt it be [ossible just to use the restricted driver?
[18:09] <plutarcus> hi all
[18:09] <zef> can anyone help me plz ?
[18:09] <bod_> hey, 1 more question,. in this paste it says to put command alias's somewhere else -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58393/ -- is there anything i have to do, like linking the bash_alias file to somewhere so bash knows where to find the alias's? a step-by-step would be grately appreciated if its not to much hassle ;~)
[18:09] <webulator70> zackyramone: can you get into windows right now ok?
[18:10] <plutarcus> i'm having a trouble with kdenlive, it don't accept my audio clips, can someone help me?^
[18:10] <bod_> !gq | plutarcus
[18:10] <ubotu> plutarcus: Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question.
[18:10] <Asra> evening
[18:10] <bod_> Asra, afternoon
[18:10] <zef> hello
[18:10] <Pici> bod_: It doesnt really matter.
[18:10] <zackyramone> webulator70: no, the windows hard drive was old and now it wont work ...
[18:11]  * Lasivian digs around with how to force it to use another driver :/
[18:11] <webulator70> zackyramone: damn you need to use windows or dos to update the bios
[18:11] <ganu> I don't have write permission to a windows drive ...how to get it?
[18:11] <zef> my question is it possible to install only grub ?
[18:11] <bod_> Pici, what doesnt matter? putting the alias's somewhere else or linking the ~/.bash_aliases file? (would it be better just to put them in the .bashrc file?
[18:11] <nickrud> bod_: I use     if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then   . ~/.bash_aliases fi   in ~/.bashrc
[18:12] <ganu> zef:yes..
[18:12] <zackyramone> webulator70: will wine work??
[18:12] <plutarcus> ok
[18:12] <webulator70> zackyramone: i wouldnt even try with a bios update, you dont want that to go wrong
[18:12] <zef> ok what the guy say here Nothing worked until I used a 100mb big partition on my main harddrive as /boot and installed grub on that instead of any MBR. Now Refit shows Mac, Win and Linux on the main drive. Then grub is responsible for loading ubuntu from the external drive.
[18:12] <zef> Now I got MacOSX, Windows XP and /boot on the internal 80gb drive and Ubuntu on an external 300gb drive.
[18:12] <zef> Happy Days! Ubuntu works great on a Macbook! Even my bluetooth mouse!
[18:12] <Pici> bod_: Yes.  The aliases will be treated the same no matter if you put them in one file or the other.  Do whatever makes more sense to you organizationally
[18:12] <zackyramone> webulator70: yeah definetely
[18:13] <Faust-C> does anyone know how to get GDM to have better resolution ?
[18:13] <Asra> anyone know why my microphone isn't muted on my speakers while it is muted on my audio settings?
[18:13] <Faust-C> atm its stuck at 800x600
[18:13] <bod_> nickrud, youll have to bare with me, this looks complicated -- so i add that line to ~/.bashrc then create a ~/.bash_aliases file and add alias awn='avant-window-navigator'   ?
[18:13] <ganu> I don't have write permission to a windows drive ...how to get it?
[18:13] <JuJuBee> I want to secure my /home/myusername folder .  Can I chmod -R 700 /home/myusername and then set public_html so www-data can read? or will that break things?
[18:13] <webulator70> zackyramone: i  think you should resize some partition space for windows and do an update
[18:13] <bod_> Pici, thanks, i like to keep things in meaningfull file names so i think a second file will be better for me ;~)
[18:14] <Frijolie> is there a way to permanently remove an ala-carte menu item, instead of unchecking it from being displayed?
[18:14] <Pici> bod_: Uncommentthe if / fi block in the paste you showed me, then add a ~/.bash_aliases file and put your aliases in there.
[18:14] <webulator70> zackyramone: http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/flash/AsusUpdt_70902.zip
[18:14] <zackyramone> webulator70: naah i wont use windows and still idont have a cd
[18:14] <plutarcus> so, when in kdenlive i go to Project -> Add clip.. and i choose an audio file, kdenlive tells me an error: "The file FILENAME isn't in a valid format for kdenlive"
[18:14] <Pici> s/uncommentthe/uncomment the/
[18:14] <plutarcus> now, what's the problem?
[18:14] <nickrud> bod_: you can do that just like that, see Pici above
[18:15] <webulator70> zackyramone: you can update the bios from linux so  you might have to look for a more complex fix then
[18:15] <runewolf> could someone help me with trying to install ati drivers for my gfx card, all i can get is vesa and not the restricted drivers
[18:15] <Frijolie> anyone?
[18:15] <runewolf> i just get a black screen when i try using them
[18:15] <runewolf> i tried the help too
[18:15] <ganu> can any one help me with drive permission?
[18:15] <Lasivian> ok, maybe if I look at my problem more simply. How do I disable a driver?
[18:16] <webulator70> runewolf: hey, every time i installed ati drivers with restriced manager, i fails for me on many comps
[18:16] <webulator70> runewolf: use envy
[18:16] <Pici> !envy | runewolf webulator70
[18:16] <ubotu> runewolf webulator70: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[18:16] <runewolf> webulator70: i tried,still got the black screen on startup
[18:16] <runewolf> Pici: tried thatas well and followed the instructions
[18:16] <webulator70> Pici: why does restriced always fail for ati?
[18:17] <Pici> webulator70: 'Always'? I've never had issues with the r-d-m with my ati card.
[18:17] <webulator70> runewolf: is it a card with 2 mon ports?
[18:17] <bod_> Pici, nickrud, thanks guys ;~)
[18:17] <webulator70> Pici: ive tried on 4 comps with different cards and it never works :(
[18:17] <runewolf> webulator70: yeah it mate, i disable the 2nd port in xorg.conf too
[18:17] <webulator70> Pici: nvidia cards are flawless with it though
[18:18] <Joelito> Hi all what package should I download to get the glade/glade.h files?
[18:18] <webulator70> runewolf: do you still hear the startup sound play?
[18:18] <runewolf> webulator70: neope not a thing mate
[18:19] <runewolf> Pici: is there any way i can get it working? been trying for a few days now, and not had any luck at all..
[18:19] <rausb0> Joelito: libglade-dev. but you don't need to manually download, the package manager (apt-get or aptitude or synaptic) does it for you
[18:19] <erawfish_> Pici: just curious. say I have  HD3850 or HD3870x2. what do I do?
[18:19] <webulator70> runewolf: ah.... i guess all of X is being halted somehow, did you try to see any output on ct-alt-f8?
[18:19] <runewolf> webulator70:  i can run it with the vesa mesa driver
[18:20] <Pici> runewolf: Did you install xserver-xgl in addition to the restricted drivers?
[18:20] <lwizardl> is there anyway to automatically have a folder icon be a picture in the folder?
[18:20] <runewolf> Pici: not sure i followed the help with every command though
[18:20] <webulator70> Pici: ive heard envy is going to be the default gfx installer for hardy, is this true?
[18:20] <root__> ck Gogeta70
[18:20] <Pici> webulator70: definitely not.
[18:20] <plutarcus> it seems like is impossibile :D
[18:21] <Joelito> Thanks rausb0 :)
[18:21] <runewolf> Pici: ooo it didnt download that, you think that will work?
[18:21] <Frijolie> I guess not
[18:21] <webulator70> Pici: ah, its funny, i always thought envy was a problem starter but its actually decent for ati
[18:21] <jovitosg> hello people. do you know where i can found the download of the ubuntu icons softwares?
[18:21] <Pici> runewolf: Yes.
[18:22] <Pici> webulator70: Regardless of how you feel about envy, we still don't support it here.
[18:22] <webulator70> Pici: i know, i wasn't implying otherwise
[18:22] <Pici> webulator70: Just clarifying :)
[18:22] <runewolf> wish me luck.... just rebooting
[18:22] <nemesis_2> hi all, I've got a question about hardware compatibility and ubuntu. I know that ATI isnt' very friendly as far as video cards.  Are there any similar limitations with motherboard or any other parts?
[18:23] <dwreg> Hello! Does anyone know an application or a daemon software which shows me in a dialog or a log the H4x0R connection attempts on my computer? Kindof how BlackICE did in Windows waay long time ago?
[18:23] <Lasivian> modprobe -r driver to remove one, and modprobe driver to add one?
[18:23] <erUSUL> !firestarter | dwreg
[18:23] <ubotu> dwreg: 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).
[18:24] <dwreg> other methods?
[18:24] <booster_> hey guys is there any ubuntu gamers chat channels ??
[18:25] <webulator70> Pici: if i install it by using restricted and i get nothing but a failsafe x starting next time i boot, what would be the next logical step?
[18:25] <Lasivian> booster_: good question, when you find one invite me :)
[18:25] <booster_> Lasivian, will do
[18:25]  * Lasivian is fighting to get his network functioning
[18:26] <lwizardl> I'm setting up a usb drive for use in both windows and linux and have the images called folder.jpg but I have to manually right click and change the icon. is there a way I can just make like a instruction file and insert it into each folder?
[18:26] <ArthurArchnix> Lasivian: Don't fight. You tried ndiswrapper?

[18:31] <TuxCrafter> sipior: thanks
[18:31] <ttotally> just did a fresh install but grub.conf seems wrong (and the sys won't boot btw)
[18:32] <RoAkSoAx> TuxCrafter: also install command-not-found-data but it should be a dependency of the other package
[18:32] <JediMaster> anyone know how to check what screen resolution I'm running in (the screen res app seems to be screwed)
[18:32] <ttotally> it's got "kernel blah blah blah root=/dev/hda1 blah" but i only have sata drives and the root filesystem is on sda5
[18:32] <ttotally> that's in grub.conf
[18:32] <nickrud> JediMaster: xrandr should work
[18:33] <JediMaster> thanks
[18:33] <ripmillar> anyone could help me .. T^T ubuntu can't see my usb ports
[18:34] <JediMaster> yes! 1360x768 finally!!
[18:34] <nickrud> JediMaster: if it doesn't (some drivers lie) try xdpyinfo | head -70 , should be under screen0
[18:34] <Kalamarencu> hey Guys!
[18:34] <ttotally> my setup: a separate /boot partition at /dev/sda1 and the main root partition at /dev/sda5

[18:37] <runewolf> i had to restore xorg.conf
[18:37] <ArthurArchnix> MasterRat:  Or, switch to terminal 1, Alt+F1, log in, then reconfigure xorg.
[18:37] <MasterRat> here's the thing tho,lookin at the xorg.conf file, it seems ok. the module for nvidia is loaded as well
[18:37] <murlidhar> and the chanell name is something effects?
[18:37] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, i wish i could get to my fstab. this is a fresh install tho and it won't boot. my root is definitely on /dev/sda5
[18:37] <Pici> murlidhar: #compiz-fusion
[18:37] <Kalamarencu> ty guys! DGJones and nickrud and hischild
[18:37] <runewolf> Pici: i had to restore the conf
[18:37] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: Yeah, but does grub show up, where you can select the OS?
[18:37] <bod_> Pici, nickrud, hey guys having a slight problem, ive pastebined the problems, could you take a look at them please. the terminal says about line 75 in .bashrc   but that file is only 74 lines long. the first paste is ~/.bashrc then ~/.bash_aliases then a terminal paste      any help would be grately apreciated ;~)
[18:37] <puppetmaster> that's all i need to 100% linux and leave windows 4ever
[18:38] <ttotally> yes
[18:38] <murlidhar> Pici: i do not have compiz-fusion installed
[18:38] <bod_> murlidhar, its installed by default you need ccsm to customize it
[18:38] <MasterRat> http://pastebin.com/d50ac4a4c
[18:38] <ArthurArchnix> Ok, so when you see ubuntu, press E to edit, go down to the kernel line, press E, then change hda1 or whatever to sda1 or wherever your root drive is. Press enter. Then B to boot.
[18:38] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, then i get Error 15: file not found ....... i've tried a couple of edits
[18:38] <MasterRat> that's my xorg.conf
[18:38] <Pici> bod_: You didn't provide links to the pastebin
[18:38] <ttotally> to grub
[18:38] <LadyNikon> !screen
[18:38] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: So you've tried editing that line?
[18:38] <ubotu> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[18:38] <runewolf> Pici: http://pastebin.com/d166f4656
[18:39] <ttotally> yes
[18:39] <Eicca> Is there an application for Ubuntu's panel that shows remaining disk space?
[18:39] <bod_> Pici, nickrud, oops my bad -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58397/
[18:39] <Gary_inNYC> conky is nice
[18:39] <ArthurArchnix> Do you have a live cd ttotally?
[18:39] <crushy> ubuntu theme
[18:39] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, yses
[18:39] <LadyNikon> <3 ubotu
[18:39] <MasterRat> http://pastebin.com/m472bcfff <-- my xorg.0.log
[18:39] <puppetmaster> how to voice chat in yahoo?
[18:39] <Pici> bod_: Are those equal signs present in your file?
[18:39] <bod_> LadyNikon, and ubotu loves u,.,.;~)
[18:39] <bod_> Pici, no just to seperate the pastes
[18:40] <ArthurArchnix> So, boot the live cd, then open a terminal and do: sudo fdisk -l   take a look at your partition layout. Maybe even mount where you think root is and make sure everything is there. /boot and so on.
[18:40] <bella> hi can somebody help with kppp?
[18:40] <bod_> !someone | bella
[18:40] <ubotu> bella: In place of  "Does anyone/anybody...", please be aware, one persons expert is another persons beginner, please ask your question in full, then see what helps!
[18:40] <n2diy_> I have two SD cards, both work in my camera, but only one works in my usb card reader?
[18:41] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: It sounds to me like you've just messed up the boot line parameters of Grub. If you're certain you know the root partition you can post your grub menu lst and we can take a look at it... see if we spot any errors.
[18:41] <Pici> bod_: You forgot to uncomment the fi on line 54
[18:41] <azuki> well.. it worked for a while (windows all wobbly and stuff ;)) then I changed res, and now when I put the neat-ness wobbly stuff on it no longer shows the bar on the top (which you can move the window with) :S
[18:41] <crushy> where can i download theme for ubuntu gutsy 7.10?
[18:41] <Pici> !themes > crushy (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[18:41] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, maybe, but this is the grub.conf generated by the install program
[18:41] <runewolf> Pici: did you get my link to my xorg.conf?
[18:42] <Gary_inNYC> crushy check out www.gnome-look.org
[18:42] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, okay
[18:42] <borncrazy> Hi. I was wondering if it's possible to automatically backup ALL (And I really man ALL) your configuration files?
[18:42] <crushy> ya thanks
[18:42] <crushy> :D
[18:42] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: How many disks?
[18:42] <Pici> runewolf: Can you try replacing "vesa" with "fglrx" in your xorg.conf and restarting XWindows: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[18:42] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, two new sata disks
[18:42] <bod_> Pici, ok, made that change, but the 'awn' is still an unkown command
[18:42] <ArthurArchnix> What's on the first one, sda1?
[18:42] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, i'm ignoring the second one for now (it's a new build)
[18:42] <Pici> bod_: you need to open a new terminal before you can try the command
[18:43] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: So, there's only one sata disk plugged in right now?
[18:43] <eric_ramirez> Hi everybody.
[18:43] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, no, they're both connected
[18:43] <peterszkyj> i am getting the following errer:  error, cannot load font: '-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'
[18:43] <nickrud> bod_: type   source ~/.bashrc   in the open terminal
[18:43] <peterszkyj> what should i install?
[18:43] <ArthurArchnix> Ok... so what's on them? Windows, couple linuxes? Windows on the first, ubuntu on the first?
[18:43] <bella> k I  have just installed kppp and entered my addie and password but kppp doesnt recognize my external modem the connect window stays greyed can I get help with that
[18:43]  * nickrud thought ti was gonna be slow at work and was wrong
[18:43] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally:  ^
[18:43] <bod_> Pici, wicked it works, thanks alot,.,.nickrud, thanks but its all good know,.,.thanks again guys!!
[18:45] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, sda1 == small /boot partition,  sda2 == swap, sda3 == unused ntfs partition, sda5 == linux root, sda6 == another ext3 part,
[18:45] <bella> I have reformulated my question bod
[18:45] <ArthurArchnix> nothing on sdb? ttotally?
[18:45] <LadyNikon> hey is yum on ubuntu?
[18:46] <LadyNikon> !yum
[18:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yum - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:46] <Pici> LadyNikon: No, we use apt.
[18:46] <M00NLyt3> help please... ubuntu cd did not give the nice little icon on the desktop to start the install... what is the command to invoke the installer, please?
[18:46] <hischild> if i am logged in as iositd (both on the remote host and local) and do ssh -X goth in a terminal and then fire up virtualbox in it ... why does it give me an error that i am not part of vboxusers even though i added myself 2 seconds before that?
[18:46] <M00NLyt3> tx
[18:46] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, that's right ,, although it is partitioned into one ntfs and one ext3
[18:46] <LadyNikon> Pici: i thought so.. someone told a friend of mine something wrong heh
[18:46] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: Ok... so, let's see your grub menu.lst  everything that you can see when you select ubuntu, then press 'e' to edit it.
[18:47] <hischild> M00NLyt3, it's a bootable cd, unless you're talking about wubi
[18:47] <Kumool> how do i check processses?
[18:47] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, 1. root (hd0,0)
[18:47] <LadyNikon> !upgrade
[18:47] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[18:47] <erawfish_> Kumool: top, ps aux, etc
[18:47] <Pici> Kumool: top, htop, ps, gnome-system-monitor (I think)
[18:48] <ttotally> 2. kernel /boot/vmlinuz.xxx  root=/dev/hda1 ro
[18:48] <M00NLyt3> hischild: i got the gnome desktop... no install icon... gotta run it manually. what is the name of the installer?
[18:48] <bella> k I  have just installed kppp and entered my addie and password but kppp doesnt recognize my external modem the connect window stays greyed can I get help with that
[18:48] <ttotally> 3. boot
[18:48] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: that shouldn't be hda... it should be sda
[18:48] <nemesis_2> I've got a question about hardware compatibility and ubuntu. I know that ATI isnt' very friendly as far as video cards.  Are there any similar limitations with motherboard or any other parts?
[18:48] <Gary_inNYC> by any chance, is there any way i can get tabbed file browsing in nautilus?
[18:48] <bod_> Pici, sory 1 last thing, im thinking of removing the bottom panel so awn can take the show, but how do i retrieve the panel if needed?
[18:48] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, well, i know ... that's one of the problems
[18:48] <te> Is there a way to get ubuntu to reconfigure everything it knows about my hardware without a) ruining my installation, and b) screwing up my current video configuration -- my trackpad isn't being recognized now for some reason and I have no idea why
[18:49] <hischild> M00NLyt3, i'm nto sure. :(
[18:49] <te> it reverted upon a restart to the click when tapping it behavior
[18:49] <Pici> bod_: You'd have to manually recreate it, if you right click on the top panel, one of the options is to make a new one.
[18:49] <te> very annoying
[18:49] <M00NLyt3> help please... ubuntu cd did not give the nice little icon on the desktop to start the install... what is the command to invoke the installer, please?
[18:49] <brobostigon> !hcl | nemesis_2

[18:49] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: What do you mean? have you changed it to sda and it still doesn't work?
[18:49] <Eicca> How can I get button [§] to work? Please help me :(
[18:49] <bod_> Pici, i know, but will the new bar behave the same way, eg, the top panel behaves differently to the bottm one
[18:49] <Gary_inNYC> !tabbed filebrowsing
[18:49] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, that's right
[18:50] <Gary_inNYC> heh
[18:50] <borncrazy> Hi. I was wondering if it's possible to automatically backup ALL (And I really man ALL) your configuration files in Ubuntu?
[18:50] <Pici> bod_: How so? The taskbar on the bottom panel is just a pannel applet.
[18:50] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, could it be that (hd0,0) is  /boot  , and we have "kernel /boot/vmlinuz ... etc"
[18:50] <brobostigon> !backup | borncrazy
[18:50] <ubotu> borncrazy: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[18:50] <H4nta> hi. how do i make mount.cifs user-executable?
[18:50] <ttotally> would that look in /boot/boot/vmlinuz ..?
[18:50] <archman> is ifconfig ethX 192.168.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 up enough for ip changing?
[18:50] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: Maybe you setup the boot partition wrong during the install... in which case... which partitio is root again?
[18:51] <runewolf> Pici: Neope it still black screen on me
[18:51] <ttotally> root is sda5
[18:51] <runewolf> Pici: would it be possible to vnc onto my machine to see what i have messed up?
[18:51] <bod_> Pici, but running apps get put on it, you load a program, you see it on the bottom panel,whereas the top pannel is "by default" used to run the applications
[18:51] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, i partitioned with cfdisk
[18:51] <Pici> runewolf: No, because X is not running properly.  You could check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file though, look for lines beginning with (EE)
[18:52] <Pici> bod_: Right, the 'running apps' thing is just a panel applet, its very easily added to any panel.
[18:52] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, let me think about this a little more and get back to you.
[18:52] <runewolf> Pici: its runningproperly now i had to restore the xorg.conf again
[18:52] <bod_> Pici, oh, is that the 'window list' thing you can add to a panel? so all the characteristics of a panel is defined by what things i add to it?
[18:52] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: Well, that's only half the battle. Ok... if we assume that you setup boot right then its (hd0,0) and sda5, if you set it up wrong, slightly, then it would be hd0,4 and sda5
[18:53] <Pici> bod_: Exactly what I've been trying to say ;)
[18:53] <bod_> Pici, sorry, ok cool cheers! ;~)
[18:53] <dundel> how do you use fish @ ssh
[18:53] <borncrazy> I just want to backup my conf files not my private files.
[18:53] <dundel> trew natuelis
[18:53] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, i thought (hd0,0) would be /dev/sda1
[18:53] <genius> hello. how to make console (perl STDIN) programs to work with cursor?  i see ^[[A^[[B^[[C
[18:53] <ArthurArchnix> They're different commands. One says where the boot files are, one says where the root files are.
[18:53] <brobostigon> borncrazy: just straight copy /etc
[18:54] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: ^^
[18:54] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: On a default install they're the same place. But you (like me) have seperate boot and root partitions.
[18:54] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, by definition, isn't (hd0,0) the first partition on the first disk? what am i missing here?
[18:54] <Gary_inNYC> is there an irc purposely for Nautilus related issues?
[18:54] <runewolf> Pici: (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
[18:55] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: First partition, on the first disk. Right-o. But... if you slipped up and boot got installed to root, like is default, then you'd need to point the bootloader to the sda5, with the command hd0,4
[18:56] <borncrazy> brobostigon, will "copy /etc" grab ALL my conf files? i want to back 'em up totally.
[18:56] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: That's why I suggested you boot a live cd and poke around these partitions, see what's actually on them. Might be faster than trial and error.
[18:56] <brobostigon> borncrazy: no idea, never tried, just an idea.
[18:56] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, they're all empty at the moment
[18:56] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: Sorry... you've lost me.
[18:56] <borncrazy> okay
[18:57] <archman> borncrazy: try copy -r /etc
[18:57] <archman> recursive
[18:57] <borncrazy> okay, i'll try.
[18:57] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, well, i should say they'll soon be empty if i have to repartition .. lol
[18:57] <borncrazy> archman, is all config files stored in /etc ?
[18:57] <ttotally> ArthurArchnix, okay thnx, i'll try that
[18:57] <archman> borncrazy: dunno, i'm still a noob
[18:58] <ArthurArchnix> ttotally: good luck
[18:58] <ttotally> ty
[18:58] <runewolf> Pici: anything else i can try fella?
[18:58] <Gary_inNYC> ok, maybe people here can help me.  I want nautilus to run faster when opening directories with many files and folders.  It's come to a point where i hate opening my music folder
[18:58] <runewolf> pici: i got a backup of the log of when it did fail if you want to see it
[18:58] <runewolf> Pici: its just the i have dpkg reconfigure xorg everyime to get back into ubuntu
[18:58] <Lasivian> well, I got it to stop loading the orinoco driver, but now it's not loading any driver and not seeing the card
[18:59] <borncrazy> it's very importnant that i backup every single conf file
[18:59] <Lasivian> the card shows up under cardctl tho
[18:59] <Lasivian> but not ifconfig
[18:59] <jeegr> hey just wondering ive been using ubuntu for a long time, and was thinking about trying fedora on my other computer, what are the major differencies?
[18:59] <brobostigon> borncrazy: there are some config files in your home dir
[18:59] <Gary_inNYC> Nautilus feels unresponsive compared to commercial equivalents know what i mean
[18:59] <archman> borncrazy: i think it's not /etc only that has conf's; they are also, i think, in your home folder...
[18:59] <Lasivian> I tried modprobe hostap but I get nothing
[18:59] <gmachine24> lasivian, i'm sorry, what type of network card is it? i missed that
[18:59] <Pici> runewolf: Heres what my xorg.conf looked like when I was running Gutsy with fglrx: http://pastebin.com/f2e96f02f
[19:00] <ArthurArchnix> Gary_inNYC: Have you turned off sound preview?
[19:00] <Lasivian> gmachine24: Orinoco
[19:00] <Lasivian> it was functioning before but had no monitor mode
[19:00] <borncrazy> okay, so i need to copy both /etc and /home ?
[19:00] <Lasivian> so i'm trying to put in the hostap drivers
[19:01] <brobostigon> borncrazy: i would say yes.
[19:01] <gmachine24> lasivian, ok, sorry i don't know that one i just battled my broadcom card and got it to work finally
[19:01] <runewolf> Pici: i just pasted yours, so i'll give it a go now...
[19:01] <genius> pleeza heeelpa
[19:01] <genius> hello. how to make console (perl STDIN) programs to work with cursor?  i see ^[[A^[[B^[[C
[19:01] <limp> I've just installed kubuntu, and while on it, alot of applications just won't open (cause an error), It worked fine this morning and yesterday, but all of a sudden apps like menu editior etc just won't work anymore
[19:01] <Lasivian> gmachine24: let's think more simply, how do you load a specific driver?
[19:01] <Pici> runewolf: I wouldnt 'just paste' it in, mine is configured for my thinkpad.
[19:01] <Gary_inNYC> ive disabled previews for thumbnails, text in icons, and for sound files
[19:02] <runewolf> pici: just the display stuff yeah?
[19:02] <gmachine24> lasivian, that all depends.... sometimes you d/l with synaptic, sometimes you load them from a CD or other download... it depends
[19:02] <Gary_inNYC> i even tried disabling "count number of items" to see its effect.  it really isn't much of a difference
[19:02] <gmachine24> lasivian, are you attempting to hack a driver?
[19:02] <Pici> runewolf: But some of the options in my device section and the extenstion, serverflags and DRI sections may be applicable to you.  I spent a long time tweaking it until it worked well.
[19:02] <sid> How do i restart X on ubuntu dapper?
[19:02] <Lasivian> gmachine24: ok, it was listed in synaptic, if I download the package I *shouldn't* need to do anything by hand, right?
[19:03] <Lasivian> gmachine24: trying to change drivers because the orinoco driver in 7.10 doesn't have monitor mode
[19:03] <Kalamarencu> I was able to reinstall GRUB I am now in Ubuntu from the HDD, thank you guys
[19:03] <gmachine24> lasivian, as long as the update clears out the old files it should work, that is the theory
[19:04] <gmachine24> lasivian, have you d/l the latest driver and it doesn't work?
[19:04] <gmachine24> lasivian, and when you say 'monitor' please explain that... to me      what type of monitor
[19:04] <Lasivian> monitor mode so I can view available wireless networks
[19:04] <gmachine24> lasivian
[19:04] <gmachine24> lasivian, sorry.... ok
[19:05] <runewolf> Pici: ok i shall give it a go
[19:05] <Gary_inNYC> my machine is a P4 2Ghz, 1.5GB DDRRam, fx5200 video... i don't think it's my specs that's making nautilus sluggish.
[19:05] <runewolf> Pici: thankyou for all your help
[19:05] <Pici> runewolf: good luck!
[19:05] <gmachine24> lasivian, do you know what network management software you have loaded
[19:05] <Lasivian> the gnome network manager, and kismet
[19:05] <gmachine24> lasivian and have you d/l the latest driver?
[19:06] <gmachine24> lasivian, i'm sorry if you're having to repeat yourself
[19:06] <Lasivian> define "latest", the normal Orinoco driver does not have monitor mode
[19:06] <Lasivian> it's ok
[19:06] <gmachine24> lasivian, i thought you said there is a recent driver in synaptic
[19:06] <Lasivian> so I downloaded the hostap driver package, and blacklisted the orinoco driver
[19:06] <gmachine24> lasivian, ok
[19:06] <Lasivian> but now when I insert the card it doesn't come up in ifconfig
[19:07] <gmachine24> lasivian, a desktop, correct?
[19:07] <Lasivian> notebook
[19:07] <gmachine24> lasivian, ok
[19:07] <Lasivian> I have cardctl and it does show up there correctly
[19:07] <gmachine24> lasivian, so when you say you install the network card you're not actually installing it
[19:08] <gmachine24> physically
[19:08] <Lasivian> inserting in the pcmcia
[19:08] <Lasivian> sorry
[19:08] <gmachine24> lasivian, it's ok. just trying to understand.
[19:09] <ArthurArchnix> Gary_inNYC: How many files are in this music folder, and are they all mp3?
[19:09] <limp> I've just installed kubuntu, and while on it, alot of applications just won't open (cause an error), It worked fine this morning and yesterday, but all of a sudden apps like menu editior etc just won't work anymore
[19:09] <cafka> i have Intel Corporation Mobile GM960 and i cant enable desktop effects :S i have read ubuntu forum post but still dont work any help ?? :S
[19:10] <gmachine24> lasivian, have you checked to see if there are any firmware upgrades for your pcmcia card
[19:10] <Gary_inNYC> they are all mp3s, with a few m3u playlists totalling 8417 music files
[19:11] <limp> Uuuh apps keep crashing this is unusable.. don't feel like reusing gnome
[19:11] <marx2k> ?
[19:11] <julian_> anyone has a canon pixma mp220 here and got it working under ubuntu? cant find any driver or tutorials about it to make it work
[19:11] <runewolf> Pici: sorry mate, exactly the same :( black screen before the login screen displays, have to totally shutdown and go into safe mode
[19:11] <khaotik> could anyone help me get icecat working as my primary browser. i downloaded the file and it works as long as i click on the right folder but i cant get it to be in my drop down menu or quick launch buttons
[19:11] <ArthurArchnix> Gary_inNYC: Are you using Gutsy?
[19:12] <gmachine24> lasivian, i could not get my broadcom card to work until i did a firmware update and changed network managers to wicd
[19:12] <Gary_inNYC> yep Gutsy
[19:12] <Eicca> should I use firewall at all in ubuntu?
[19:12] <gmachine24> even though broadcom support is built into the kernel now
[19:12] <Lasivian> gmachine24: did it load the driver properly before that?
[19:12] <ArthurArchnix> Gary_inNYC: I ask because newer gnomeis faster. One thing they changed was the number of files that can be listed.
[19:12] <Pici> runewolf: Sorry.  Have you looked on the forums for anyone with the same card? Perhaps there is a solution speicific to your model.
[19:12] <gmachine24> eicca, it depends on if you need it
[19:12] <ArthurArchnix> Gary_inNYC: Used to be 4000, or so I read, and now it's unlimited.
[19:12] <gmachine24> lasivian, no
[19:12] <runewolf> Pici: yeah mate, i been through every single tutorial and walkthrough i can find on the net
[19:12] <gmachine24> lasivian, got a slew of error messages on boot
[19:13] <runewolf> Pici: i just think maybe i have broke something
[19:13] <gmachine24> lasivian, i assume you have searched the forums. you might have better luck with someone who actually got it to work.
[19:13] <Uranellus> hey, I got 3 avi files and would like to create a vcd (for each) or video dvd (one with all of them) ..  how would I do that?
[19:13] <ArthurArchnix> Gary_inNYC: If it's really bothering you you could try installing thunar. It's lighter and faster.
[19:14] <gmachine24> uranellus, do you want a dvd (or whatever) with titles, headings, etc.?
[19:14] <runewolf> Pici: was just thinking thats why you could vnc to make sure there is nothing glaringly obvious and i havnt messed anything up
[19:14] <Uranellus> gmachine24: would be enough if one could select which video to play
[19:14] <Gary_inNYC> kk, i'll take a look at it.  does thunar happen to have tabbed file browsing as well?  other than nautilus' sluggishness, that's another pet peve of mine
[19:15] <gmachine24> uranellus, you want to play this on a regular 'stand alone' dvd player?
[19:15] <Uranellus> gmachine24: yeah
[19:15] <Lasivian> gmachine24: yeah, i've done alot of searching, but i'm at a point nobody else seems to have been stuck at
[19:16] <simion314> what is the command to restart  the network? i remember that is somthing with ... eth1 up
[19:16] <gmachine24> uranellus have you tried kino software
[19:16] <Lasivian> lsmod | grep hostap does show it, but the card won't use it
[19:16] <snoopcatxl> =]
[19:16] <ArthurArchnix> Gary_inNYC: http://thunar.xfce.org/screenshots.html
[19:16] <Uranellus> gmachine24: not yet .. I'll give it a try, thanks :)
[19:16] <gmachine24> lasivian, that sucks. you checked the manufacturer's web site?
[19:16] <snoopcatxl> niggers
[19:16] <Lasivian> long since gone
[19:16] <Gary_inNYC> thx i'm looking at the screenies now
[19:17] <Lasivian> it's been rebranded several times
[19:17] <gmachine24> wtf was snoopcat's problem
[19:17] <Cerpin> hello everyone
[19:17] <gmachine24> lasivian do you have the chipset name/manu?
[19:18] <ArthurArchnix> hmm... actuall Gary_inNYC thunar looks really cool... might have to give it a try myself :) You can use plug-ins to extend the functionality... http://thunar.xfce.org/plugins.html
[19:19] <Lasivian> gmachine24: yeah, it's a widely known chipset, and i'm sure i've got the right drivers
[19:19] <Lasivian> the only thing I can think of is maybe the firmware is old, but I don't know how to flash it under unix
[19:20] <gmachine24> lasivian, the firmware update i used was in a .deb file
[19:20] <diego> welcome
[19:20] <jim_p> how can I "move" (and where) a ready made folder so that it can be accessed by all users just by a single command ?
[19:20] <gmachine24> lasivian, it was very easy to do
[19:20] <gmachine24> lasivian, not nearly as much drama as doing a windows firmware upgrade
[19:21] <jim_p> the folder in question is secondlife's and i want the executable to be run directly from the terminal or from a shortcut
[19:21] <MasterShrek> jim_p, you want to do: chmod -R 777 /path/to/folder
[19:21] <H4nta> hi. how do i make mount.cifs user-executable?
[19:21] <MasterShrek> jim_p, then either have the users go to where its located, or you can make symlinks to it from their user directories
[19:21] <jim_p> MasterShrek: I have alreafy chanded the permissions
[19:21] <jim_p> if i move it to /usr/ or something?
[19:22] <MasterShrek> jim_p, it doesnt matter where it is, they can access it
[19:22] <runewolf> I give up :(
[19:22] <MasterShrek> jim_p, maybe in /media it might show up on their desktop, but i dont know for sure
[19:22] <MasterShrek> runewolf, whats the problem?
[19:23] <jim_p> MasterShrek: i see... but i want it somewhere else from MY desktop!
[19:23] <runewolf> MasterShrek: trying to get my ati card working using the restricted drivers, currently having to run vesa drivers, and cant use opengl
[19:23] <protoloco> Hello, im in a new debian system.. but this one when i do "ssh file02", ssh db01, ssh host2 WORKS.. and in the /etc/hosts <-- THERE Is no suchs hosts.. just the localhost. The question is, there is another file to store the hosts with their ip ?
[19:23] <MasterShrek> jim_p, put it in /media, probably a good spot anyways, youll need to use sudo to move it there since your user wont have permissions to the /media directory
[19:24] <Kumool> how do i enable these letters together like 'oo' from kb instead of goin thru a character chart and selecting it from there
[19:24] <jim_p> MasterShrek: ok thanks
[19:24] <MasterShrek> runewolf, ah, well im no expert with ati drivers, have you checked the forums at all?
[19:24] <runewolf> MasterShrek: yeah i have, and must have gone through every link on google
[19:24] <MasterShrek> runewolf, ic, how new of a card is it?
[19:24] <runewolf> MasterShrek: some people have got them working fine, other people no... its a radeon x1950 AGP
[19:25] <Kumool> like  ÀÁÂÃ i cant seem to tie it fromt he KB
[19:25] <MasterShrek> runewolf, have you tried manually installing the driver from ati's website?
[19:26] <runewolf> MasterShrek: yup, same thing again black screen
[19:26] <runewolf> MasterShrek: its frustrating been trying for over a week now
[19:26] <MasterShrek> hmm, i dunno for sure then bud, like i said i have very little experience with ati cards and linux

[19:28] <morph> i need some help :)
[19:28] <MasterShrek> whats the problem

[19:28] <runewolf> ;)
[19:28] <morph> i have a remote comtrol
[19:28] <Pici> runewolf: I'm not ignoring you, I just don't have anything to add :/
[19:28] <morph> all keys works,,,
[19:28] <runewolf> Pici: yeah i know mate, you tried fella, so thankyou anyway
[19:28] <morph> but no play button
[19:29] <morph> how i can configure it?
[19:29] <runewolf> Pici: it just so frustrating, i havnt broke anything by trying to install the drivers manually have i?
[19:29] <MasterShrek> runewolf, i dont think so
[19:29] <Pici> runewolf: Sometimes using envy can be an issue, but it varies from case to case.
[19:30] <runewolf> MasterShrek: you never know with a linux noob, they can break ANYTHING ;)
[19:30] <runewolf> Pici: i used envy :(
[19:30] <runewolf> Pici: that failed too
[19:30] <MasterShrek> runewolf, not just the noobs ;)
[19:30] <runewolf> pici everything seems to goto plan until i reboot and then black screen then have to do a sudo dpk-reconfigure xorg
[19:30] <TrichomeKid> Anyone know of a way to use the screen savers from Ubuntu on a Windows machine?
[19:31] <runewolf> MasterShrek: hehe
[19:31] <sardano> Hi for all!
[19:31] <MasterShrek> hello sardano
[19:31] <sardano> Hello MasterShrek
[19:31] <runewolf> i'm just upset i have to boot into windows *gag*
[19:31] <MasterShrek> TrichomeKid, probably not, almost certainly not
[19:31] <morph> some italian here?
[19:31] <TrichomeKid> MasterShrek:  Okay, thank you.
[19:32] <Pici> TrichomeKid: This is really a question for ##windows, but there is a port of xscreensaver for windows: http://tron.lir.dk/metasavers/

[19:32] <sardano> I'd like to access my NTFS partition using NTFS-3G, but I thought that have something wrong with my NTFS partion.
[19:32] <darkcrab> i have a security issue if anyone has a second.
[19:32] <MasterShrek> cool Pici, i never knew such a thing existed
[19:32] <sardano> morph: Io no parlo Italiano.
[19:32] <Ulfalizer> how come qemu doesn't seem to be available under "Add/Remove..."? i'm pretty sure i've seen people install it from the command prompt via apt-get in ubuntu.
[19:33] <MasterShrek> !info qemu
[19:33] <Gary_inNYC> ArthurArchnix, after searching around i think PCMan sounds like a nice alternative filebrowser as well.  it's supposedly lighter than Nautilus and it has tabbed file browsing.  sounds perfect for me
[19:33] <Pici> Ulfalizer: Not all applications are installable from Add/Remove.
[19:33] <ubotu> qemu (source: qemu): fast processor emulator. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.0-2ubuntu4 (gutsy), package size 4013 kB, installed size 10792 kB (Only available for amd64 i386 powerpc alpha sparc arm armeb armel s390 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64)
[19:33] <MasterShrek> Ulfalizer, enable the universe repository: system > administration > software sources
[19:33] <darkcrab> i just installed a dual boot with xp/ubuntu 7.10 and everything is working fine, but I opened my pidgin just now, and there is a bot that I did not add, and it just happened after the install.
[19:33] <Ulfalizer> Pici: okay, why not? do the package authors need to do anything special to support it?
[19:33] <sardano> MasterShrek can you help me?
[19:34] <darkcrab> both are fresh installs
[19:34] <sardano> Someone can help me please?
[19:34] <MasterShrek> sardano, have you tried to mount it using ntfs-3g?
[19:34] <Pici> Ulfalizer: I believe they do, and in addition, Add/Remove is supposed to be end-user friendly, so you logically don't want to put all your development libraries in there and whatnot.
[19:34] <Lasivian> if a device has no driver, where would there be an error or reason for this?
[19:35] <Lasivian> or would it just be silent
[19:35] <sardano> I'd like to access my NTFS partition using NTFS-3G, but I thought that have something wrong with my NTFS partion, the space show as free is not right, I thought.
[19:35] <Ulfalizer> MasterShrek: what tab is it under? i've enabled everything under "downloadable from the internet".
[19:35] <Gary_inNYC> will there be any averse effects if i follow these instructions for installing PCMan filebrowser?>>  http://lifehacker.com/software/linux-tip/change-gnome-menus-to-use-pcman-file-manager-288616.php
[19:35] <Ulfalizer> Pici: okay
[19:35] <AkumaNoTsubasa> hi everyone
[19:36] <MasterShrek> Ulfalizer, then just do: sudo apt-get update    then    sudo apt-get install qemu
[19:36] <AkumaNoTsubasa> I would like to know how to change the name of my partition link on my desktop (I don't need to rename the partition, just the "link") thanks
[19:37] <Link> hey!!
[19:37] <Ulfalizer> MasterShrek: okay, but what is the "universe repository"?
[19:37] <M00NLyt3> help please... ubuntu cd did not give the nice little icon on the desktop to start the install... what is the command to invoke the installer, please?
[19:37] <joobaby> #iluvtorrents

[19:37] <neW1> guys, i have a queastin.Can awn work without compiz or any other window menager like xcomp ?
[19:37] <Lasivian> ok, thanks for the help anyway, I guess it's back to windows for me
[19:37] <AkumaNoTsubasa> please can someone help me too ;)

[19:37] <Pici> !ask
[19:37] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[19:38] <anonymous111> M00nLyt3: it's either "sudo ubiquity" or "sudo ubiquity-installer" (without the quotation marks) - I can't remember which as I'm not on the LiveCD
[19:38] <decko> Guys! I need some help here. I was trying to test Hardy on my PC, but because of some problens I switch back to Gutsy. But I can't mount any USB SM devices now! I think that are some config files shouldn't be there...
[19:38] <protoloco> Hello, im in a new debian system.. but this one when i do "ssh file02", ssh db01, ssh host2 WORKS.. and in the /etc/hosts <-- THERE Is no suchs hosts.. just the localhost. The question is, there is another file to store the hosts with their ip ?
[19:38] <anonymous111> neW1: I'm afraid Compiz needs 3D to work - as a replacement, you could try the Engage dock
[19:38] <Cerpin> Can anyone direct me to a good guide to installing Nvidia drivers on gutsy
[19:39] <neW1> ty, anonymous111, ill google it ;)
[19:39] <SelfDeletion> is it possible to specify port ranges in firestarter instead of having to enter every port between 100010 -> 100020 for example?
[19:39] <Scunizi> Lasivian, what was your question.. I missed it..
[19:39] <anonymous111> neW1: Glad I could be of help :)
[19:39] <M00NLyt3> ok... let me put it a different way... when you double click on the install icon... what is the actual command being used? (i got no icon to start the install)
[19:39] <MasterShrek> protoloco, if you isntall winbind youll use the wins protocol for resolving hostnames, thats what i use
[19:39] <Scunizi> Cerpin, which card do you have?
[19:39] <AkumaNoTsubasa>  I would like to know how to change the name of my partition link on my desktop (I don't need to rename the partition, just the "link") thanks
[19:39] <Link> i setup samba and ldap server, now when i login, windows can't get the roaming profiles
[19:39] <Cerpin> scunizi: gimmie a sec lemme check really quick
[19:40] <MasterShrek> !nvidia | Cerpin
[19:40] <ubotu> Cerpin: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[19:40] <Pici> Link: You're having a problem in Windows?
[19:40] <anonymous111> M00NLyt3: It runs the commands I mentioned. Try going to Applications > Accessories < Terminal. then enter either "sudo ubiquity" or "sudo ubiquity-installer". This will launch the installer. Sorry if I wasn't clear. :)
[19:40] <Cerpin> Scunizi: Geforce 8400m GS
[19:41] <Scunizi> Cerpin, go to system/admin/restricted drivers manager and enable nVidias driver there.  I think it should work with the 8400
[19:41] <Gary_inNYC> by any chance, anyone here use PCMan file manager?
[19:41] <Cerpin> Scunizi: thanks! ill try it out
[19:41] <Scunizi> Cerpin, if it was the 8600 or better you'd have to go with the newer binary driver directly from nvidia
[19:41] <M00NLyt3> anonymous111: TYVVM!!!
[19:41] <M00NLyt3> anonymous111: TYVVM!!!
[19:41] <anonymous111> did it work?

[19:53] <ShakQ> then type alsamixer
[19:54] <Defpotec> does anybody know how to run kde and gnome at the same time on two xservers F7 and F8
[19:54] <thewhos> and enter?
[19:54] <cerpin> Scunizi: Well i did sudo apt-get install compiz last night, not sure if it worked though. how do i do it through synaptic??
[19:54] <ShakQ> yep
[19:54] <thewhos> hmmm ok
[19:54] <stas> chickenFuego: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58412/
[19:54] <chickenFuego> stas. thx hold on plz.
[19:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Ded_Ryzing, Sounds like it is not identifying the correct video/monitor setup
[19:54] <kotsu> thinkpaduser around?
[19:54] <Scunizi> cerpin, compiz is install by default.. you need the settings manager to enable cube and other cool effects..
[19:54] <stas> chickenFuego: at the moment im connected with usb-cable with my avm fritz.box (router) and i have the usb stick plugged in
[19:55] <ShakQ> thewhos: did u see the bars?..
[19:55] <cerpin> scunizi: Oh, i didnt know. ill look for the settings manager
[19:55] <Ded_Ryzing> it starts to load, gives me the little spinning disk thing...then nothing
[19:55] <thewhos> yes
[19:55] <ShakQ> is everything maxed?
[19:55] <thewhos> no
[19:55] <thewhos> but there is the wrong chip
[19:56] <ShakQ> :s
[19:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Ded_Ryzing, at blank screen try ctrl alt F2  see if you get a cli..  or on boot hit escape and get grub menu, press E to Edit and remove splash and quiet then boot and watch for errors.
[19:56] <chickenFuego> stas, you have to choose cable connection to your router OR Wlan with an usb stick, no??
[19:56] <n2diy> brobostigon: when I right click on usbdisk in Nautilus, rename is ghosted out, maybe if I run Nautilus with sudo, I'll be able to rename it?
[19:56] <nonix4> How do I configure all logout/shutdown commands to require password?
[19:56] <Scunizi> cerpin, the easiest way is to "search" in synaptic for compiz and the resulting list will have it
[19:56] <ShakQ> how did that happened?... wait, ill give u a page with help for that
[19:56] <thewhos> ok thx
[19:56] <randomhey> pici
[19:56] <thewhos> don't know why
[19:56] <thewhos> i have 2 sound cards
[19:56] <stas> chickenFuego: but if i plug out the cable im not connected any more to the internet
[19:57] <marko-_-> how do i rename a map in console ?
[19:57] <cerpin> scunizi: sorry for the noob question, but where is synaptic lol
[19:57] <Ded_Ryzing> K...will be back...thanks
[19:57] <brobostigon> n2diy: maybe, no idea
[19:57] <Scunizi> cerpin, system/admin
[19:57] <cerpin> ok thanks lol
[19:57] <Pici> randomhey: yes?
[19:57] <chickenFuego> stas: let's start like this: what do you want to do? Use wlan?
[19:58] <randomhey> i can write the error from syslog - warning - gdm_slave_xioerror)handler: fatal x error - restarting... | If i look at xorg.log i can see no timer..
[19:58] <russk> good evening everyone, does anyone here use Ubuntu 7.10
[19:58] <Scunizi> russk, most everyone
[19:58] <stas> chickenFuego: yep. i wana use wlan. the driver for the stick is already installed. now i need to config wpa2 and finally connect over wlan with internet
[19:58] <randomhey> im not sure what to do - nvidia6800.. im tired of crashes :)
[19:58] <chickenFuego> ok stas, unplug your router direct connection first, then...
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> randomhey, 6000 series nvidia are extremely stable
[19:59] <Gary_inNYC> make sure you got the latest drivers for your nvidia6800... im thinking that chipset is new enough to run with nvidia-glx-new
[19:59] <stas> chickenFuego: but then im not connected any more. ill disconnect from the irc
[19:59] <webulator70> anyone know why video would be choppy even though compiz and everything else is silky smooth?
[20:00] <webulator70> never used to be like this with an nvidia card
[20:00] <ShakQ> thewhos: u dont have 2 sound cards on ur pc?
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, On ati if you have composite enabled in xorg it will make video choppy
[20:00] <chickenFuego> stas: then install a gui for just giving a try: "sudo apt-get install wifi-radar" on the console.
[20:00] <thewhos> yes i have the standard one that comes with it... and another one
[20:00] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: there is no way around this?
[20:00] <stas> ive got the wifiradar already ^^ i use it with windos as well
[20:00] <n2diy> brobostigon: nope, didn't work.
[20:00] <Scunizi> webulator70, try turning effects to none in system/preferances/appearance and try again. if it works it's because of compiz
[20:00] <yigal_> anyone here use metacity with compositing and is willing to tell me what they think of it?
[20:00] <stas> chickenFuego: got the wifiradar already ;)
[20:00] <thewhos> and i think ubuntu is trying to use the standard one
[20:00] <chickenFuego> stas, yes, disconnect, try to install and start wifi-radar, it might connect you with a few click...
[20:00] <webulator70> Scunizi: i did, less flickery, still choppy and unsmoothed
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70,First which card are you running?
[20:01] <randomhey> nvidia control version - 1.13.. im sure its newest drivers - since ubuntu always says then updates comes..
[20:01] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: radeon 1600
[20:01] <stas> there is only one point irritating me. it asks me for the wpa driver...
[20:01] <randomhey> 100.14.19 driver version..
[20:01] <gmachine24> what is the command to remove downloaded .deb files from the /var/cache/apt/archives folder it is something like >sudo update clean or whatever
[20:01] <stas> chickenFuego: sry, i forget everytime your nick. the wifi radar asks me for the wpa-driver and i dont know what to write in there
[20:01] <ShakQ> thewhos: sorry, im still searching that page
[20:01] <thewhos> ok m8 np
[20:02] <brobostigon> gmachine24: sudo apt-get clean
[20:02] <chickenFuego> stas, hold on..
[20:02] <webulator70> ati is nothing but problems as far back as i can remember, i only got it because it was sold to me for 40 bucks
[20:02] <gmachine24> brobostigon, thanks
[20:02] <CannibalM> Hi, how do I install works?
[20:02] <bruenig> CannibalM: do what now
[20:02] <greasy_leftwing> MSWorks?
[20:02] <Scunizi> webulator70, look for a $40 nvidia card and sell the ati for $40 to a windows user
[20:02] <greasy_leftwing> ??

[20:03] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, Option "Composite" "disable"          in your xorg
[20:03] <stas> chickenFuego: ok, ill try disconnect the cable now and then restart wifiradar and try to connect wlan
[20:03] <komputes> CannibalM: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[20:03] <CannibalM> lol
[20:03] <chickenFuego> stas: ok.
[20:04] <CannibalM> im sorry, it's just too hilarious

It says in the forums to check the php.ini for the following extension and uncomment it "extension=mysql.so" but i cannot find the extension in the php.ini...............can anyone help me with this issue. IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS
[20:04] <komputes> Scunizi: I disagree, thingy's are supported, you didn't get the memo
[20:04] <CannibalM> russk

[20:04] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, You will still have effects.. just make the change and reboot
[20:04] <Scunizi> webulator70, 9600 will require the latest nvidia binary.. get a cheaper 6000 series.. it'll work just fine and the driver is easy to install.
[20:05] <ShakQ> take a look to this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[20:05] <thewhos> ok
[20:05] <Scunizi> komputes, :)
[20:05] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: ok ill give it a go, thanks
[20:05] <webulator70> Scunizi: na, 6600 is too... the same as what i have now
[20:05] <CannibalM> russk: there will be a section that comments out multiple parts, you just need to load the correct module for php to manipulate SQL
[20:06] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI   is where you can find that info...
[20:06] <Scunizi> webulator70, maybe.. but what do you hope to gain from the latest and greatest?
[20:06] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[20:06] <Konam> can someone please give me the 'Recently Played' playlist in rhythmbox. I deleted mine :(
[20:06] <russk> CannibalM: Please explain more...
[20:06] <CannibalM> russk: Can you forward a copy of the ini file my way? I can check it and then explain what went wrong.
[20:06] <webulator70> Scunizi: speed in new stuff of course

[20:17] <ArthurArchnix> Jack_Sparrow: I'm just gonna throw a second vote in for deluge, but grab the latest deb from the website, the dev's are constantly squishing bugs and it's been real stable for me.

[20:24] <peace> i found newest drivers ( ubuntu didnt noticed me about newest drivers from nvidia.com ) for solving fatal x error... nasty error...
[20:24] <chickenFuego> stas?
[20:25] <chickenFuego> stas__?
[20:25] <peace> so i need to turn off x server..and then go to destkop..and then install drivers..
[20:25] <greasy_leftwing> first thing I'd recommend, if youre trying to install unbuntu on the same physical drive while simultaneously partitioning it, is dont, windows has a nasty habit of munching any resources it can get its hands on
[20:25] <Ulfalizer> peace: there should be a Desktop/ folders in your home directory
[20:25] <Ulfalizer> *folder
[20:25] <greasy_leftwing> see if you can logically partition it through windows first
[20:25] <greasy_leftwing> then use the space left
[20:25] <peace> then i turn off x server ! there is no graphical menu..
[20:25] <smacky> well that did'nt work    lol  sudo chmod +x ./mkiso I worte a text file save it in  my home folder but i think i forgot a command
[20:26] <Ulfalizer> so you should be able to do "cd Desktop". if that doesn't work, try "cd" and then "cd Desktop".
[20:26] <`David> how do i do that greasy_leftwing
[20:26] <peace> only black screen to write some command lines..
[20:26] <peace> i tried with cd command..nothing works...
[20:26] <peace> hm
[20:26] <greasy_leftwing> are you in windows now? opr did you boot through the live CD?
[20:26] <Ulfalizer> peace: the X server is what gives you the graphical user interface. do you get a prompt?
[20:26] <Starnestommy> peace: cd ~/Desktop ?
[20:26] <`David> i'm in windows XP
[20:26] <`David> right now
[20:26] <Otto90x> Hi! I got my ubuntu 7.10 cd (normal x86 version) today and while I try to install it. I got following text (initramfs)  I could write in a field, and there was hint to write help if needed, but it only wrote all available commands. What Should I do to get my ubuntu installed? Thanks.
[20:27] <greasy_leftwing> go control-panel, admin tools.. 1 sec I'll get my VM up
[20:27] <greasy_leftwing> have a looksee
[20:27] <peace> its only promt..but with no cd~/desktop.. i only can write as a full new line..
[20:27] <Starnestommy> peace: it's cd ~/Desktop
[20:27] <Ulfalizer> peace: what happens when you type "cd Desktop"?
[20:27] <ouellettesr> hello anyone know how to telnet a file to a server, i am logged in but i dont remember the code
[20:27] <Starnestommy> peace: the spacing and case matter
[20:27] <zer0bit> Hello sir, i have been a windows user since dos based windows 3.1, due to recent microsoft changes, i have decided to change over to ubuntu and I have very specific questions regarding the same
[20:27] <Pici> ouellettesr: telnet servername
[20:27] <peace> i tried cd /home /peace/desktop :D
[20:27] <ShakQ> David, use a live CD
[20:28] <`David> i have 7.10 live
[20:28] <Ulfalizer> peace: it's Desktop, with a big D. other than that, it might have worked (there shouldn't be a space in there either) :)
[20:28] <greasy_leftwing> 1 thingg I'm sure oof is that if you give the live cd a whole physical drive it will run fine
[20:28] <ShakQ> u can create a new partition for ubuntu with the live cd
[20:28] <peace> i will try cd Desktop.. and after it.... sudo sh nvidiadrivers.run ??
[20:28] <burnerwarrior008> chickenFuego hi. im stas
[20:28] <greasy_leftwing> so its got to be something MS related in the way
[20:28] <zer0bit> Please understand that I am an utter newbie in the field of linux, so rather than disturbing the whole channel with totally newbie Qs, can someone please pm me?
[20:28] <ouellettesr> Pici, I am logged in but i need to transfer a file to the server, do i use put file.bla file.bla ?
[20:28] <Scunizi> peace, after turning off the x server your gui will not work. x is the gui. once at the command line install irssi (sudo apt-get install irssi). It's an irc client for the command line. type irssi to start, then /connect irc.freenode.net to connect to the server then /join #ubuntu to get back to here for more help.. others will guide you from there.
[20:28] <`David> its got to be cause when i tried to install redhat i got the same thing
[20:28] <tdn> How do I change the time zone of my server?
[20:28] <Starnestommy> zer0bit: just ask in the channel
[20:28] <burnerwarrior008> chickenFuego ive switched to my desktop now and got the notebook here too, so i can try out wlan
[20:29] <chickenFuego> burnerwarrior008, did you paste the commands?
[20:29] <Starnestommy> peace: try that
[20:29] <Ulfalizer> peace: yep, that's probably right. it's been a while since i installed the nvidia drivers.
[20:29] <ShakQ> David, u MUST select manual partitioning
[20:29] <RomeReactor> peace: as the others said, the comand line is case sensitive
[20:29] <joze> hello there
[20:29] <CannibalM> very much so case sensitive.
[20:29] <chickenFuego> ok burnerwarrior008 fine.
[20:29] <Ulfalizer> look for installation instrutions
[20:29] <CannibalM> I learned that the hard way in the beginning
[20:29] <burnerwarrior008> chickenFuego ok, what u need, ill post it?
[20:29] <joze> can someone tell mee for any command line msn clients? the most known would be great. ??
[20:29] <ouellettesr> anyone know how to transfer a file with telnet
[20:29] <zer0bit> Starnestommy, sir, firstly, is it a good idea to change over to linux from windows =/
[20:29] <peace> ill go try some magic..
[20:29] <`David> i did
[20:29] <ShakQ> lol cannibal
[20:29] <chickenFuego> iwconfig wlan0
[20:29] <chickenFuego> ifconfig
[20:29] <Ulfalizer> peace: good luck :)
[20:29] <chickenFuego> iwlist scan
[20:29] <`David> and i got same erroe
[20:29] <chickenFuego> lsmod
[20:29] <RomeReactor> joze: try purple or centericq
[20:30] <russk> CannibalM: i did not receive email add
[20:30] <Starnestommy> zer0bit: unless you do a lot of gaming or multimedia editing, linux is usually better.
[20:31] <burnerwarrior008> chickenFuego ok, ill take a minute to paste that all ;)
[20:31] <smacky> i need help with this text file i wrote i save it in my home folder then i type sudo chmod +x ./ mkiso  and nothing happens
[20:31] <Starnestommy> smacky: remove the space after the ./
[20:31] <hwilde_> don't type ./
[20:31] <zer0bit> Starnestommy .. I usually just browse the web, and I am into lot of authering on web etc but not into grafix and multimedia, though I do download a lot of data from torrent networks and emule networks
[20:31] <smacky> ok
[20:31] <`David> greasy_leftwing
[20:31] <zef> hi
[20:31] <jatz> hey, mencoder question
[20:31] <greasy_leftwing> yeh looking
[20:32] <greasy_leftwing> its not where I expected it to be
[20:32] <jatz> does Mencoder auto crop black bars from dvds?
[20:32] <jatz> can I make it not?
[20:32] <zef> i try to install ubuntu on external hard drive
[20:32] <Starnestommy> zer0bit: that's pretty much what I do
[20:32] <smacky> chmod: cannot access `/mkiso': No such file or directory
[20:32] <smacky> smacky@smacky-desktop:~$
[20:32] <Starnestommy> smacky: ./mkiso
[20:32] <zef> i try to install ubuntu on external hard drive when i try to boot it display boot error
[20:33] <llama_> heyy
[20:33] <greasy_leftwing> looks like you cant alter the primary partition under XP
[20:33] <greasy_leftwing> it wont let you split it
[20:33] <greasy_leftwing> basically cos youre currently using it
[20:33] <zer0bit> Starnestommy, so linux supports torrents ?
[20:33] <peace> anybody remembers my problem... eh.. im quite tired of linux magic :(
[20:33] <zef> so from gparted i try to open the file menu.lst on the grub folder
[20:33] <Starnestommy> zer0bit: yes
[20:33] <zer0bit> Starnestommy and emule network ?
[20:33] <Starnestommy> and yes
[20:33] <llama_> yeah i install ubuntu over xp be accident lol
[20:33] <Lasivian> anyone ever gotten an orinoco card working on Ubuntu?
[20:33] <`David> so what can i do then? any ideas?
[20:33] <chickenFire> soory back burnerwarrior008
[20:34] <zef> and there i see this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58416/
[20:34] <chickenFire> so your pastbins?
[20:34] <greasy_leftwing> my suggestion would be to get another HDD, put it on that and switch between boots either by way of the bootloader - GRUB or the bios settings
[20:34] <zef> can anyone can check if it's configured correctly
[20:34] <peace> after sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ||| i was in prompt??? black screen.. tried sudo password...tried cd Desktop.. no command was working...
[20:34] <zer0bit> Starnestommy now, i got stumped at the ubuntu website .. 4 versions are there.. as a newbie, how do i decide which one i want ? there is no comparison chart of each version there
[20:34] <zef> ubuntu install on sdb3 partition
[20:34] <chickenFire> burnerwarrior008, in the meantime, just try "wext" for wpa option in wifi-radar, ok?
[20:34] <greasy_leftwing> or overwrite your current system with linux and use a VM to get windows runnign when you need it
[20:34] <`David> i don't have any really big hdds
[20:34] <greasy_leftwing> dont need anything really big tbh
[20:34] <smacky> working thanks alot
[20:35] <`David> how much does it take to run ubuntu
[20:35] <ShakQ> david, just run ur live CD and do a manual partitioning
[20:35] <greasy_leftwing> you can still access your other drives
[20:35] <RomeReactor> peace: run: ls
[20:35] <`David> i trtied ShakQ
[20:35] <Lasivian> `David: If you have an older system try Xubuntu
[20:35] <ShakQ> and what happened?
[20:35] <`David> same error
[20:35] <Starnestommy> zer0bit: which editions are there?
[20:35] <`David> its not that old tho
[20:35] <ShakQ> sorry, i missed that, whats the error?
[20:36] <`David> "error writing to disk aborting..."
[20:36] <`David> this mobo is from 02 or 03 and the hdd on this is only 40gigs =[
[20:36] <densone> anyone here that can  give me recommendation on which OpenLDAP WebUI to use?
[20:36] <Starnestommy> zer0bit: ubuntu, xuubntu, kubuntu, and edubuntu?
[20:36] <Starnestommy> *xubuntu
[20:36] <zer0bit> Starnestommy ku, edu, xu, go  .. all suffixed ubuntu sir  ( i still say some one please pm me, i am too new for linux and would not want to distrub serious channel of geeks with my n00b Qs )
[20:36] <Lasivian> i'm trying to enable monitor mode for an Orinoco card :/
[20:36] <`David> its hard buying new equipment when unemployed lol
[20:36] <chickenFire> burnerwarrior008, still here?
[20:37] <Starnestommy> zer0bit: regular ubuntu is probably best
[20:37] <aricz> Hi, my console got stuck.. I hit the ALT-key + one other key.. and now I can't write anything.. how do I undo this again?
[20:37] <chickenFire> stas??
[20:37] <`David> can i run ubuntu in vm?
[20:37] <chickenFire> stas__??
[20:37] <Starnestommy> `David: yes
[20:37] <`David> and how do i set up vm?
[20:37] <ShakQ> yes
[20:37] <greasy_leftwing> sure
[20:37] <zer0bit> Starnestommy .. i know that u would say ubuntu .. i would like to know WHY .. or whats the difference between them .. that has not been given on the website ( very first ditterant to a windows user trying to convert to linux )
[20:37] <greasy_leftwing> check out VirtualBox is my suggestion onthat core
[20:37] <stiv2k> does anybody have any information regarding Nvidia CoolBits ??  I can't seem to make the clock frequencies apply
[20:38] <qwerty6523> hi
[20:38] <Starnestommy> zer0bit: it's the main one of those four, it's the most used, most of the work is done to it, and its GUI is easy to use
[20:38] <`David> the thing is tho in my CCNA class we dual booted ubuntu and xp on the same kind of systems
[20:38] <gabriela> h
[20:38] <linduxed_> yesterday i closed the lid of my laptop and left it for a while. When i came back and opened it, the lights were flashing like when it gets kernel panic, screen was all black and it didnt respond to anything. So i reset the laptop and when i boot back up i find that wifi is dead
[20:38] <peace> im genius!!!!!!!!
[20:39] <linduxed_> how do i restore a previous state or examine how to get the wifi going
[20:39] <aricz> Hi, my console got stuck.. I hit the ALT-key + one other key.. and now I can't write anything.. how do I undo this again?
[20:39] <zer0bit> Starnestommy , my geek friend said there is a type of linux called "KNOPPIX" which doesnt install on hard drive but runs through CD when bios option is 'boot from CD' .. is there a ubuntu version like that ?
[20:39] <genius> peace: no, i am!
[20:39] <`David> greasy_leftwing www.virtualbox.org?
[20:39] <Seb962> Hey guys, anyone knows a good automatic id3 tag download program to sort out my music??? T
[20:39] <peace> i press ctrl+alt+f8 and then i appear in prompt..with no command line working there!!!... i cant do there anything... i pressed ctrl+alt+f1 and i was in prompt!!!!! and still i run the drivers..and still it was said that i must turn off x server !!! damn
[20:39] <greasy_leftwing> aye, them
[20:40] <Starnestommy> zer0bit: the main ubuntu CDs can do that
[20:40] <aricz> God damnit, this is irritating.. I hit ALT+<something> .. and suddenly console is all stuck. I know there's a key-combo that unlocks the console again, I just don't remember what.. anyone?
[20:40] <peace> so how to install nvidia drivers.. how..what..where is prompt.. what..
[20:40] <geirha> zer0bit: yes, that's what's called live CDs
[20:40] <flowOver> peace - you have to kill x, not just switch to another terminal
[20:40] <`David> i'm on dial-up i hope it isn't a very big download lmfao
[20:40] <Ward1983> i want to use grub to multiboot winxp qnd ubuntu, but i want to boot them from a fakeraid array, i know how to do it with windows but not how to do it with linux
[20:40] <geirha> zer0bit: gobuntu isn't a liveCD yet though, but with the next release it will be a liveCD too I think
[20:40] <greasy_leftwing> shouldnt take long
[20:41] <Ward1983> can annyone tell me how to do this?
[20:41] <zer0bit> Starnestommy .. ok, how do i decide which are "main ubuntu CDs"  .. ( Frankly, all this info should be there on the website but it is not )
[20:41] <peace> flowOver i tried this -->  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ...and then i was not been able to run any command line... suggestion needed
[20:41] <`David> i would download for windows x86 right?
[20:41] <linduxed_> aricz: youre in system console or a console in the graphical interface?
[20:41] <prince_jammys> !livecd | zer0bit
[20:41] <Starnestommy> zer0bit: the ubuntu desktop CDs that aren't alternates
[20:41] <mammoth> Ward1983 : do what ? i don't see your question.
[20:41] <zer0bit> !livecd
[20:41] <geirha> zer0bit: ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu are the same, they only differ in look and feel of the GUI
[20:41] <ubotu> zer0bit: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option.
[20:41] <flowOver> sudo killall gdm
[20:41] <greasy_leftwing> not if your mobo is from '02-'03
[20:41] <`David> then what?
[20:41] <greasy_leftwing> ah lol
[20:41] <xmms> hello! Where xmms loging curently playing song? anyone?
[20:41] <aricz> linduxed_ : tty.. virtual console.. textmode
[20:42] <greasy_leftwing> no sorry
[20:42] <greasy_leftwing> yes x86
[20:42] <greasy_leftwing> standard architecture, x86
[20:42] <CannibalM> So what is the main difference between the main live CD's and the Alt CD's anyway?
[20:42] <Lasivian> anyone want to point me to how to troubleshoot a dsriver not loading?
[20:42] <Ward1983> mammoth, a little higher :p but i said: ¨i want to use grub to multiboot winxp qnd ubuntu, but i want to boot them from a fakeraid array, i know how to do it with windows but not how to do it with linux¨
[20:42] <aricz> linduxed_: I've done this mistake many times, but for some damn reason I don't remember they key-combo to unlock it.. :)
[20:42] <peace> i tried this -->  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ...and then i was not been able to run any command line... suggestion needed how to instal nvidia drivers.. :|
[20:42] <geirha> zer0bit: edubuntu is also very similar, but comes with a different set of packages ... more educational ones I would believe
[20:42] <linduxed_> aricz: can help ya there, try adding ctrl to the pressing
[20:42] <Starnestommy> CannibalM: the alt CDs just install
[20:42] <`David> also another question, would a variance in ram bus speeds cause cpu freezing and over heating?
[20:42] <CannibalM> gotchya
[20:42] <xmms> hello! Where xmms loging curently playing song? anyone?
[20:42] <citybird> hi, what is the max memory you can have with 32bit ubuntu 7.10''
[20:43] <geirha> zer0bit: and gobuntu is all open source, no proprietary stuff to taint the system
[20:43] <zer0bit> thanks a loads for your time, i think its way 2 early for me to go linux
[20:43] <aricz> linduxed_ : ctrl? ctrl-what ?
[20:43] <CannibalM> never say never man,
[20:43] <CannibalM> just VM it and get started,
[20:43] <greasy_leftwing> unlikely
[20:43] <CannibalM> i still use Win as a workstation, but run everything else on Nix
[20:43] <fbc> Where do I find the i286 ubuntu cd?
[20:43] <CannibalM> and I was die-hard win for awhile
[20:43] <geirha> zer0bit: if you install ubuntu, you can "convert" it to kubuntu and xubuntu very easily
[20:43] <greasy_leftwing> if your pc is running with them and recognising that the ram is present then its using it as is expected
[20:43] <linduxed_> ctrl+alt+f6
[20:43] <mammoth> Ward1983 : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[20:43] <Lasivian> zer0bit: I hear you, i'm getting very annoyed that i'm losing functionality by going with unix
[20:43] <aricz> linduxed_ : ah.. you don't understand the problem.. but thats ok
[20:44] <Ward1983> mammoth, thanx
[20:44] <citybird> anyone know if 32bit ubuntu 7.10 can run 8gigs of ram??
[20:44] <peace> :\
[20:44] <linduxed_> aricz: try mashing the entire keyboard
[20:44] <linduxed_> :-P
[20:44] <zer0bit> Lasivian .. sir, i am not here to tar linux.. i know that unix is much powerful system than windows, and linux is kind of GUI unix for common user
[20:44] <flowOver> `David: you mean like differently rated chips?
[20:44] <greasy_leftwing> dunno mate, try it!
[20:44] <`David> well i've heard that the faster of the 2 sticks would slow down and i've heard that its most likely my problem
[20:44] <greasy_leftwing> if theyre working then theres nowt wrong
[20:44] <Starnestommy> citybird: I don't think so unless you recompile the kernel with pae
[20:44] <Lasivian> zer0bit: I use the terms probably more interchangably than most
[20:44] <xmms> hello! Where xmms loging curently playing song? anyone?
[20:44] <Ward1983> mammoth, is it possible to just install stuff using the livecd??? :s
[20:44] <aricz> my tty/virtual console/console-textmode is STUCKED because I managed to hit ALT+<another key> .. which makes it impossible to write or do anything on that console.. now, I *KNOW* there's a key-combo to UNLOCK the console again, but I don't remember which. Anyone know it? Thank you! *arghhhhh*
[20:44] <greasy_leftwing> david.. is this something that you havent done yet?
[20:45] <citybird> Starnestommy: where can i look that up
[20:45] <mammoth> Ward1983 : If you have the system installed, yes.
[20:45] <zer0bit> Lasivian .. the problem is for a person who has been on windows since it came, the documentation on main website is far too less which serves as a total deterrant.
[20:45] <aricz> linduxed_: ;) I'm about to smash my keyboard anyway, so yes, will do soon
[20:45] <Lasivian> yeah
[20:45] <greasy_leftwing> if so, check your mobo manual to make sure, if you dont have it, open the bugger up find out the model number and look up the pdf online
[20:45] <`David> no i have them in right now but i never had this issue until i put it in
[20:45] <Ward1983> mammoth, the system+
[20:45] <Ward1983> ?
[20:45] <danbhfive> citybird: I'm just guessing that the answer is yes, since its a kernel thing, and ubuntu uses the linux kernel, right?  Anyway, just curious, why do you need 8 gigs of ram?  are you mastering movies or something?
[20:45] <flowOver> `David: yes it goes to the lowest speed of what's installed.  i've also had alot of difficulty in the past with different speed's of ram and system hangs.  i've been extra cautious to buy identical spec'd ram for the last decade though
[20:45] <qwerty6523> ubuntu rocks
[20:45] <zer0bit> Lasivian can i please pm u ?
[20:45] <Lasivian> yeah
[20:45] <mammoth> Ward1983 : You can use the livecd to repare something or to add some piece of softwares/tools.
[20:46] <xmms> anyone using xmms?
[20:46] <greasy_leftwing> I stand corrected
[20:46] <flowOver> i wouldn't doubt it's the source of your problem if you're freezing up
[20:46] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: i did it, now compiz cant start
[20:46] <prince_jammys> zer0bit: you can download and boot from the liveCD without making any commitment.  the same livecd can install ubuntu if you want, without losing your windows installation.
[20:46] <mammoth> Ward1983 : but, if you don't have linux installed, what do you want to install ?
[20:46] <`David> i have the manual for the mobo model but
[20:46] <Lasivian> I really don't want to go back to windows/netstumbler, but if Linux can't do that I don't have alot of choice
[20:46] <Ward1983> mammoth, it just says: boot the ubuntu cd qnd install dmraid from synaptic
[20:46] <`David> the manual doesn't match the mobo even though the models match up
[20:47] <greasy_leftwing> ?? but... ?
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, Have you read the ati page?  Does your video work?
[20:47] <diego> saindo...
[20:47] <Ward1983> mammoth, im gonna install winxp first, then ubuntu, qnd multiboot them
[20:47] <`David> if you understand what i'm saying
[20:47] <greasy_leftwing> yer, kinda
[20:47] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: yes i just finished following it, video is fine and my ati drivers work but compiz cant turn on
[20:47] <flowOver> `David: i know what you're saying.  they usually do one manual for a line of models and hope people can peice it together
[20:47] <mammoth> Ward1983 : Ok, it's a good way.
[20:47] <geirha> zer0bit: what information should be on the website would be nice for the devs to know about. If you feel you have the time, posting it at the ubuntuforums would be helpful
[20:47] <greasy_leftwing> sounds like it
[20:48] <`David> like i was trying to use the manual when i had to wire it up in my new tower and the manual didn't help at all i had to go through everything and figure it out
[20:48] <flowOver> to trouble shoot the system, run it with only the fastest installed
[20:48] <Ward1983> mammoth, but... should i mqke two arrays, eqch using hqlf of the disk, or one array and partition it?
[20:48] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, In terminal what do you show for fglrxinfo
[20:48] <ShakQ> for what is Ctrl + Alt + F6??
[20:48] <Starnestommy> ShakQ: it switches to tty 6
[20:48] <Ward1983> mammoth, please ignore my retarded typos, im used to qwerty these dqys, qnd im qt q azerty keyb
[20:48] <flowOver> there's also a memtest on the ubuntu alternative cd.  maybe the live as well.  run it for a couple hours
[20:48] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow:  it works, ati technologies, radeon x1600 series, then the ver of the drivers
[20:48] <ShakQ> tty 6?
[20:48] <Lasivian> Has anyone here worked with an Orinoco card on Ubuntu?
[20:49] <ShakQ> :s
[20:49] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: its compiz that wont start
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, Are you using the driver from Ubuntu or some other one
[20:49] <Starnestommy> ShakQ: a tty is a terminal or command line
[20:49] <`David> thanks for the help guys
[20:49] <greasy_leftwing> np
[20:49] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: the driver from restricted manager
[20:49] <aricz> Hi, my tty/virtual console/console-textmode is STUCKED because I managed to hit ALT+<another key> .. which makes it impossible to write or do anything on that console.. now, I *KNOW* there's a key-combo to UNLOCK the console again, but I don't remember which. Anyone know it?
[20:49] <`David> i'll let you know how it all goes
[20:49] <greasy_leftwing> cool
[20:49] <fevel> is anyone syncing to ipod touch?
[20:49] <Starnestommy> aricz: maybe ctrl+q
[20:49] <danbhfive> citybird: I looked on google, the answer seems to be 'no'
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, fglrx shows ati correct?
[20:49] <aricz> Starnestommy : nopes
[20:49] <ShakQ> ah, k, thx, i pressed it and had to reboot xD i couldnt write anything
[20:50] <Starnestommy> aricz: ctrl+l?
[20:50] <zer0bit> Lasivian .. lot of text in pm .. please take a look at it and comment
[20:50] <mammoth> Ward1983 : i suggest you to only use one disk, and then (after the install of the two systems, when you have your double boot worked) add the second disk and configure the raid.
[20:50] <aricz> Starnestommy : nopes.. :>
[20:50] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: yes, compiz says "the composite extension is now available"
[20:50] <citybird> danbhfive: im looking too and i think i found something
[20:50] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, now or not              and you also installed this    apt-get install xserver-xgl
[20:50] <citybird> im not gona let 6gigs of ram goto waste
[20:51] <Starnestommy> citybird: try the 64-bit version
[20:51] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow:  i thought ati could now handle aiglx

[20:51] <Ward1983> mammoth, but if i install on one disk how cqn i then turn it into raid? are you sure this is possible? im extremely confused now
[20:51] <citybird> Starnestommy: no 64bit cup
[20:51] <citybird> Starnestommy: no 64bit cpu
[20:51] <Lasivian> zer0bit: i'm not showing any messages from you
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, You didnt read carefully
[20:51] <aricz> Starnestommy : Ok, seems it should be CTRL-Q .. but it's all stuck anyway.. thanks anyway
[20:52] <flowOver> citybird: you can't if it's the 32bit os.  the cpu is running in 32bit address space and can't allocate it all
[20:52] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: its an old thing for 6.10 anyway, now ati supports aiglx
[20:52] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: when i had it going before i didnt have xgl on
[20:52] <mammoth> Ward1983 : i never use raid technology, but i think that it is the best way. you can make some searchs before doing your installs.
[20:52] <danbhfive> citybird: hmmm, maybe you just need to install the server kernel http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=714949
[20:53] <flowOver> citybird: if you manage to do it, it'll be buggy
[20:53] <citybird> flowOver: so what should be the max? 4gigs? my machine only shows 2gigs
[20:53] <ShakQ> everytime i press Ctrl + Alt + Backspace it doesnt reload the LogIn Screen again, does anybody knows why?
[20:53] <flowOver> unstable as the bering sea
[20:53] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, You should be able to get decent video and effects on that card...
[20:53] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: i know that much
[20:53] <Lasivian> where is a good place to go to pay someone to make *nix run the way I want it to? I've got alot more money than I have time or patience for working with the thing :(
[20:54] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: it doesnt say anything having xgl on anyway in that faq
[20:54] <flowOver> citybird: 3-4gb is the limit.  it depends on your hardware how well it's allocated
[20:54] <Lasivian> or knowledge
[20:54] <citybird> grrrrr
[20:54] <danbhfive> !info linux-server | citybird

[20:54] <greasy_leftwing> KSA Lasavian KSA
[20:54] <Corky_> hey what are the windows emulators on ubuntu called?
[20:54] <Corky_> i wanna try out different ones
[20:54] <greasy_leftwing> Knowledge Skills and Abilities
[20:55] <Starnestommy> Corky_: wine is in the repos, but cedega isn't
[20:55] <Corky_> any others?
[20:55] <prince_jammys> Lasivian:  http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid
[20:55] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: try searching for the term xgl in that webpage, there is vritually nothing about it
[20:55] <CannibalM> Isn't Wine the free open source and Cedega core is commercial?
[20:55] <Starnestommy> CannibalM: yep
[20:55] <CannibalM> good deal. See? I pick up quick.
[20:55] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, Under the heading Installing the Driver the Ubuntu Way...   apt-get install xserver-xgl                   next type  sudo depmod -a
[20:55] <flowOver> cedega is mostly opensource except for the copy protection figuring part
[20:55] <HarimaKenji> hi, how can i find out which scsi device /dev/sdb1 is? I want to remove it using scsiadd
[20:56] <greasy_leftwing> Corky_: I recommend installing it on a virtual machine
[20:56] <webulator70> god i hate ati for this, nvidia is so much easier to deal with
[20:56] <Corky_> installing what on a virtual machine?
[20:56] <greasy_leftwing> lol
[20:56] <greasy_leftwing> I sound like a parrot here...
[20:56] <greasy_leftwing> VirtualBox
[20:56] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, Just telling you what I did here...  it is somewhere on those pages.
[20:56] <flowOver> webulator70: they're just behind the game.  i'll probably buy ati hardware when their chip blueprints are opensourced
[20:56] <CannibalM> I always was an Nvidia fan since ATI got caught modifying drivers to improve speed off of graphics.
[20:56] <danbhfive> citybird: if you try the server kernel, please let me know if it works, I'm curious
[20:56] <CannibalM> IE the whole QIII stuff
[20:56] <Corky_> does that emulate the entire windows OS?
[20:56] <Ward1983> mammoth, never mind i made up my mind, im just gonnq use rqid on windows only, i read the tutorial and its too much work
[20:56] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, I agree nvidia are way easier
[20:56] <CannibalM> I run the server kernal!
[20:56] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: on that page there is no mention of xserver-xgl
[20:56] <Ward1983> in wondows its allmost nothing
[20:57] <CannibalM> 10 clustered ones :-) I feel special considering a year ago i had no clue how to even open a term
[20:57] <geirha> !vm | Corky_
[20:57] <ubotu> Corky_: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[20:57] <greasy_leftwing> it emulates ytour system and allows you to oopen a system as an application on top of your current system
[20:57] <flowOver> danbhfive: it won't work.  it's a limitation of the 32bit address space.  there is no way to allocate more than what can fit and have it behave stable
[20:57] <webulator70> flowOver: im sure it will get better then but ati has been probs for me on to many occations
[20:57] <Corky_> no no
[20:57] <Corky_> i dnt wanna run the OS
[20:57] <Corky_> i just wanna run an app
[20:57] <danbhfive> flowOver: whats this then? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[20:57] <Corky_> i got wine but some stuff wont work on it
[20:57] <greasy_leftwing> so you can open it up and install whatever OS meets your needs, all in a window, on whatever os youre using now
[20:57] <Lasivian> prince_jammys: yeah, i'm assuming support would give up if it's a third_party driver issue or the like
[20:57] <CannibalM> like parallels?
[20:57] <Corky_> no
[20:58] <Corky_> like wine
[20:58] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, I have seen conflicting info on that...  just telling you what I have seen done or tried.
[20:58] <flowOver> agreed.  they're breaking ground for open source 3d though. got to give them the repsect for that
[20:58] <prince_jammys> Lasivian: what are the full specs of this Orinoco card?
[20:58] <romulo> hi, I have a new display installed on the pc but it's not setting the right resolution.
[20:58] <Corky_> paralells runs the entire XP OS
[20:58] <flowOver> danbhfive: it's a way to emulate physical address spaces, and have a system that runs as stable as the bearing sea.  i've covered this
[20:58] <romulo> can you help me?
[20:58] <Jared5552> bad thing to ask here I am sure.... but for non gui servers, is ubuntu server better than centos?
[20:58] <greasy_leftwing> I run xp fine in a vm tbh
[20:58] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: oh
[20:58] <webulator70> brb
[20:58] <Jack_Sparrow> romulo, Many people dont set the v/h rates for the monitor
[20:59] <Corky_> but i dnt wanna run XP
[20:59] <Lasivian> pc24e-h-fc, lucent technologies, hermes I
[20:59] <Corky_> im trying to get as far away from windows and microsoft
[20:59] <romulo> it's an lcd, so the problem is not the refresh rate
[20:59] <RomeReactor> Corky: not everything works on wine; there's also Crossover Office, but I don't know if that would help you (plus it's not free or Free)
[20:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Corky_, then stop running programs written for them
[20:59] <romulo> the native resolution is just not on the list
[20:59] <greasy_leftwing> precisely
[20:59] <flowOver> good luck with that corky.  i still run my xp so i can have adobe
[20:59] <romulo> it's 1440x900
[21:00] <Jack_Sparrow> romulo, lcd do have v and h refresh and sync rates
[21:00] <romulo> but the maximum resolution I'm getting is 1024x768
[21:00] <Corky_> oh yeah crossover is the other one i heard about
[21:00] <greasy_leftwing> signing out...
[21:00] <dneary> Hi there
[21:00] <RomeReactor> Corky: try finding native equivalents for your windows apps
[21:00] <Corky_> i just need to run these apps till i find the linux counter part
[21:00] <Jack_Sparrow> romulo, 1024 is max vesa res, you may not have your driver installed
[21:00] <romulo> so how can I fix this?
[21:00] <romulo> yes I have
[21:00] <Songoo> hello can somebody help with no sound in ubuntu
[21:00] <citybird> ok there is an option under highmemory support for 64gigs of ram
[21:00] <Corky_> well is there anything i can do about veoh?
[21:00] <romulo> and i'm running compiz
[21:00] <dneary> I have a big long list of services that start up when I start the computer (and another big long list of things that start when I log in).
[21:00] <Jack_Sparrow> romulo, Post your xorg to the pastebin so people can review it
[21:00] <katakaio> romulo: you will probably need to modify your xorg.conf file to include your native res
[21:01] <romulo> thanks a lot
[21:01] <citybird> then there is an option to split this up.
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> romulo, also post the make and model of your lcd
[21:01] <Aeon> night
[21:01] <dneary> I'd like to speed up my laptop and regain some of the snap that it had when I first installed it. There's a bunch of stuff I don't know whether I can safely disable it or not
[21:01] <danbhfive> flowOver: ok, I missed the part regarding instability.  I still can't find it, but I'll take your word for it
[21:01] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: thanks dude, its going good now
[21:02] <peace> i neeeeed help really... :) again... i somehow..im not sure how... instaled nvidia 169drivers! but now.. now..no more nvidia x drivers.. what to do.. i cant choose resolution and so on..
[21:02] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, Didnt mean to give you a hard time
[21:02] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: i never would have guessed it too, i thought xgl ran slower then aiglx
[21:02] <peace> how to auto update something ?
[21:02] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: lol you didn't, its cool, thanks
[21:02] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, You have good video and effects now correct?
[21:02] <romulo> my xorg.conf file is this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58422/
[21:02] <mathlover3> hello
[21:03] <CannibalM> Hi
[21:03] <CannibalM> Be my friend?
[21:03] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, glad to help.. welcome to Ubuntu
[21:03] <dneary> Plus, I have lots of issues with suspend/resume, the VGA output of my laptop, ...
[21:03] <flowOver> Corky_: thats entirely why i'm running xp in a vm.  keep those app's untill i'm comfortable with the linux counterparts.  i tried installing illustrator in wine and it was headaches all around.  the vm does it all flawlessly, albiet a little slow but thats hardly a flaw
[21:03] <Songoo> test in sound preferences is writting : gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing.
[21:03] <RomeReactor> Corky: try http://linuxappfinder.com/alternatives; and veoh uses Flash, so it should work in your system
[21:03] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: its late for that, ive been using ubuntu for years... only with an nvidia card until now
[21:04] <dneary> For the desktop stuff, I am not sure where the time is being spent at start-up
[21:04] <Corky_> it works to some extent
[21:04] <katakaio> romulo: Open the xorg file in an editor and scroll down to the Monitor section
[21:04] <romulo> wait just a minute, please
[21:04] <vALIEN> hey anyone familiar with wireshark? im seeing all the packets, but dont know which is good or bad...any help?
[21:04] <dneary> Perhaps it's readahead slowing everything down? In which case, is there a way to strip some stuff out of the readahead list?
[21:04] <Corky_> i think it uses directX drawing or smth cos i get black strips over some panels so i cant use it
[21:04] <RomeReactor> Corky: are you using Flash o Gnash?
[21:04] <Corky_> i got the Adobe flash and Gnash installed
[21:04] <dneary> vALIEN: What are you trying to measure/identify?
[21:05] <Jack_Sparrow> romulo, what type of monitor are you using.. you dont have the res you want in there.. but I also want to verify correct v/h rates
[21:05] <vALIEN> intruders :)
[21:05] <RomeReactor> remove Gnash: sudo aptitude remove --purge gnash
[21:05] <dneary> vALIEN: talking about good & bad packets doesn't really make much sense
[21:05] <katakaio> Jack_Sparrow: romulo ducked out for some reason
[21:05] <Corky_> veoh works in my browser tho
[21:05] <vALIEN> good start
[21:05] <peace> anyone instaled newest nvidia drivers?? 169? need help
[21:05] <Corky_> i just cant get the VeohTV app to run properly
[21:05] <raiderxx> Im having trouble installing drives for my nvidia drivers. Could someone help me?
[21:05] <romulo> thanks, it works now
[21:05] <katakaio> romulo: Glad to help!
[21:06] <Wayne^> raiderxx: I use Envy
[21:06] <romulo> i just used the command thats on the xorg.conf file
[21:06] <vALIEN> dneary : so I'd like to filter out the applications i know are sending packets?
[21:06] <Seb962> Guys, how to kill a "Package installer" window that totally died on me??
[21:06] <romulo> dpkg - reconfigure etc etc
[21:06] <Jack_Sparrow> romulo, glad it is going for you now
[21:06] <romulo> :D
[21:06] <dneary> vALIEN: You can apply a filter to what gets shown
[21:06] <romulo> I just want to say that I love ubuntu
[21:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Wayne^, Sorry to hear that
[21:06] <raiderxx> So you would just use envy?
[21:06] <dneary> The easiest way for you would be to filter on IP address, maybe?
[21:06] <katakaio> romulo: With your luck, it looks like Ubuntu loves you too
[21:07] <MasterShrek> !envy
[21:07] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[21:07] <Starnestommy> envy has been known to cause problems on ubuntu
[21:07] <dneary> Other ways you can filter are on protocol, or packet content
[21:07] <vALIEN> and i gotta be running wireshark 24/7?
[21:08] <raiderxx> so if envy doesnt work, in my case for example, how should I install them?
[21:08] <bernier> Hi, even after following sucessfully this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto , I can't get my sound to work, can someone help me?
[21:08] <treguy31fr> Hi there
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> raiderxx, The problem is that you already tried envy and that is not easy to undo...
[21:08] <dneary> So - some services I'm wondering whether I can disable them (or, alternatively, whether they take 0 resources): loadcpufreq, vbesave, acpid, powernowd.early...
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> raiderxx, If it was as simple as try it and if it doesnt work do this or that.. we would not have such a strong opinion against it
[21:09] <raiderxx> oh..
[21:09] <userx532> ubuntu seems kinda slow, what can i do to make it faster?
[21:09] <raiderxx> So what do you suggest?
[21:09] <eltopo> ok
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> bernier, recompile alsa using ver 15 NOT 16
[21:09] <dneary> xserver-xorg-input-wacom, i915resolution, ppp, apmd, cpudyn, cpufreqd, cpufrequtils, hddtemp, hotkey-setup
[21:10] <dneary> userx532: You could try to figure out what's taking time
[21:10] <Jack_Sparrow> raiderxx, The best way is for you to do a fresh install...
[21:10] <bernier> Jack_Sparrow: and could you explain quickly why this would work
[21:10] <dneary> userx532: Are you swapping a lot? Perhaps memory is the issue
[21:10] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: im guessing theres no way i can do this with aiglx right?.... are there any limitations anyway with using xgl as i am now?
[21:10] <Odd-rationale> Does anyone know the name of that firefox extension that masks you as ie?
[21:10] <bernier> userx532: if yoour running the live CD it's normal ...
[21:10] <raiderxx> ...are you kidding me?
[21:10] <vrkhans> hi i am trying to configure  mutt+fetchmail+procmail but when after creating the .fetchmailrc file and trying this command fetchmai -vk command i got this msg no mailservers have been specified. wat does that mean
[21:10] <raiderxx> of.. linux?
[21:10] <Jack_Sparrow> bernier, A question better asked in #Alsa,  but 16 does not work with our mixer is the short version
[21:10] <Creeture> Is there a gnome application for browsing Perl docs? Something like the man page reader.
[21:10] <userx532> loading compiz fusion at boot takes forever
[21:10] <userx532> but i like compiz fusion
[21:11] <webulator70> Odd-rationale: look for any extention that configures user agent
[21:11] <RomeReactor> ODd-rationale: user agent
[21:11] <adamb> What would "15 10-22/3 * * *" in cron mean?
[21:11] <Odd-rationale> Thanks!
[21:11] <userx532> no livecd, and im not sure what you mean by swapping, but i have 2gb of memory
[21:11] <treguy31fr> I'm sorry to bother, but I have problem trying to install the patched RTL8187 drivers from aircrack-ng so I could boost a little bit the TX power or my wifi card (the router actually have a hard time receiving it)
[21:11] <bernier> Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks, do I have to uninstall anything before that?
[21:11] <dneary> userx532: If you have lots of memory, it could be redraw problems, it could be background tasks running slow
[21:11] <nickthorley> hi all - my resolution has gone stupidly low and hence i cant access the menu where the display manager is to increase it - what is the command to get it up
[21:11] <Creeture> adamb: Run at 15 minutes after the hour from 10 am to 10 pm, every 3 hours.
[21:11] <dneary> userx532: If you're running from a livecd, that is probably it
[21:11] <userx532> no im not running from a livecd
[21:11] <dneary> userx532: Let me explain what swapping means:
[21:12] <adamb> the every 3 hours part.. confuses me, hah
[21:12] <Jack_Sparrow> bernier, should not need to..  but the people in alsa are really good at that stuff, that is where I go to ask questions
[21:12] <treguy31fr> Can anyone help ?
[21:12] <bernier> ok thanks a lot
[21:12] <raiderxx> Jack_Sparrow, do you mean that I need to really reinstall Ubuntu? Like, completely?
[21:12] <Creeture> adamb: It runs 4 times a day starting at 10am. :) Not that hard.
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> raiderxx, You dont have to, but it is the best soultion.  FYI, also avoid automatix, and when you get base install done.. make a backup
[21:13] <stevecasper> hey....im trying to change my skins of amsn...i need to copy files to usr/share.....but i says im not allowed to
[21:13] <userx532> everyone who uses linux should also be using a byte for byte backup
[21:13] <userx532> unless of course youre one of those linux masters
[21:13] <dneary> You have 2 main types of memory - RAM and on-board processor cache
[21:13] <RomeReactor> nickthorley: you can't scroll the screen? try ALT+F1 to open the menus
[21:13] <userx532> 2mbl2 i have
[21:13] <userx532> 667mhz 2gb ram and 2mb of l2
[21:14] <raiderxx> How would I reinstall it?
[21:14] <adamb> so 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 10pm?  thast 5
[21:14] <Seb962> Nickthorley you can also hold alt and drag the screen with the mouse.
[21:14] <raiderxx> Just put the disk in, then click reinstall?
[21:14] <dneary> In addition, you can have a memory address space bigger than available RAM
[21:14] <raiderxx> Is it that simple?
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> yep
[21:14] <raiderxx> oh..
[21:14] <raiderxx> ok
[21:14] <raiderxx> And then what would I do?
[21:14] <raiderxx> Try again?
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> raiderxx, fyi.. making a second partition for /home is a good idea.
[21:14] <dneary> userx532: And in that case, when RAM is full, or near full, your OS will "swap out" parts of memory which aren't currently in use
[21:15] <p1ngnull> how do I play wmv files?
[21:15] <dneary> Sometimes it swaps out memory which you want to use soon afterwards
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> People, I need some rest.. will try and get back later in the day..  Play nice
[21:15] <raiderxx> Well I have a partition for Linux if that's what you mean, but I don't know what you mean by "/home"
[21:15] <brobostigon> p1ngnull: try vlc
[21:15] <raiderxx> ok
[21:15] <userx532> ok yeah i really doubt its swapping because its a fresh install and i have 2gb, unless compiz is leaking
[21:15] <raiderxx> Thank you for your help
[21:15] <nickthorley> hi all for some reason my installation of ubuntu had lost its graphics card settings - what is the best way to get it to auto detect it again
[21:15] <bernier> what's the bash command to remove a directory and it's files?
[21:16] <dneary> When you change applications, for example, you're writing data out to swap from RAM, and loading more data from swap back into RAM
[21:16] <Starnestommy> bernier: rm -rf dir
[21:16] <dneary> Reading & writing from disk is *real slow*
[21:16] <Pirate_Hunter> hello is there a way to set evolution to show emails by accounts, instead of showing all the emails in one inbox?
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> raiderxx, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome   is what I am talking about
[21:16] <dneary> userx532: Unlikely, then
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:16] <bernier> thanks
[21:16] <stevecasper> any1 know how i can copy files from desktop to usr/share/amsn........says im not allowed to
[21:16] <userx532> thanks for the help dneary
[21:16] <dneary> userx532: You can tell by running top in a terminal
[21:16] <p1ngnull> brobostigon: any way to use totem?
[21:17] <Jack_Sparrow> stevecasper, sudo cp blah blah
[21:17] <brobostigon> p1ngnull: i wouldnt know how, i have always used vlc.
[21:17] <userx532> 2074544k total, 59732 used
[21:17] <userx532> 0k swap used
[21:17] <dneary> userx532: At the top, you have two lines like this:
[21:17] <dneary> Mem:   1026384k total,   969488k used,    56896k free,    10568k buffers
[21:17] <dneary> Swap:  1582360k total,   249276k used,  1333084k free,   386632k cached
[21:18] <dneary> Mem = RAM, Swap = swap
[21:18] <lastelement0> hey all. I have XP installed as a guest under virtualbox. I was wondering if there is a way to access the files that are saved in XP
[21:18] <p1ngnull> vlc plays it, but it's incredibly choppy
[21:19] <tyranos> hello , how can i have system sounds like in windows
[21:19] <arakthor> lastelement0: my experience with that is limited, but in the past the only way I've seen people do it to scp (or similar) data between the guest and the host
[21:19] <p1ngnull> brobostigon: vlc kind of plays it, but it's incredibly choppy and certainly not anywhere near watchable
[21:19] <`paul> i have a perl scrip and i want it to run evrytime i start ubuntu how do i achieve this? probably put it into init.d if possible
[21:19] <lastelement0> arakthor: what is scp?
[21:19] <CannibalM> apparently searching my drive doesn't show in top suddenly....
[21:19] <CannibalM> not good.
[21:19] <brobostigon> p1ngnull: no idea, i havent played  wmv in ages,
[21:19] <Pirate_Hunter> hello is there a way to set evolution to show emails by accounts, instead of showing all the emails in one inbox?
[21:19] <arakthor> lastelement0: secure copy over a network, uses ssh
[21:20] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: thanks for the info earlier
[21:20] <Weiss> `paul: look at man update-rc.d
[21:21] <`paul> ok
[21:21] <Pirate_Hunter> anyone here uses evolution?
[21:22] <CannibalM> no,
[21:22] <CannibalM> I do 'religion'
[21:22] <Odd-rationale> Pirate_Hunter: I do
[21:22] <stevecasper> jacksparrow: i cant get the copying to work....ive tried drag and drop, says i dont have permission
[21:22] <Odd-rationale> How do I install a .deb package I have downloaded with aptitude?
[21:22] <`paul> Weiss: but how do i create /etc/init.d/myscript if for example i want to run ./myperlscript.pl
[21:23] <Pirate_Hunter> Odd-rationale: how do you set emails to show by accounts instead of showing it all in one inbox?
[21:23] <Starnestommy> Odd-rationale: dpkg -i package.deb
[21:23] <Starnestommy> Odd-rationale: er, with sudo dpkg -i package.deb
[21:23] <Odd-rationale> Pirate_Hunter: I only have one account, so never tried...
[21:23] <Odd-rationale> Starnestommy: With aptitude?
[21:24] <Dougal> hello
[21:24] <Odd-rationale> Starnestommy: I know how with dpkg
[21:24] <cva> Odd-rationale: no can do with aptitude
[21:24] <zer0bit> Starnestommy .. i am frustrated but i still want to give linux a try .. can u guide me to a good linux guide ? google turns up way too much of stuff
[21:24] <Pirate_Hunter> Odd-rationale: np just wondered cause its annoying having all accounts in one inbox
[21:24] <Odd-rationale> cva: OK. Thanks.
[21:25] <zer0bit> Starnestommy take into account that i am a very pro-windows user trying to convert to linux .. and send me to some site accordingly .. thank you
[21:25] <fx|RabBit> can anyone tell me what exept the sudoers concept are the differences between ubuntu an debian?
[21:25] <Starnestommy> fx|RabBit: the repositories
[21:25] <Odd-rationale> zer0bit: Have you looked at www.getgnulinux.org ?
[21:25] <yoma> can someone one help me create a swap disk .
[21:26] <Starnestommy> there are some docs on www.linux.org somewhere
[21:26] <Starnestommy> and several books on it
[21:26] <zer0bit> Odd-rationale .. thanks .. i have never heard about that site but if u recommend it, i will spend my time reading it
[21:26] <lnkxm> ubuntu is great
[21:26] <Weiss> `paul: take a look at one of the other scripts in init.d - there's a template in there
[21:27] <Weiss> `paul: to do it "properly" is quite complicated but you might decide you don't need to do a complete job
[21:27] <Odd-rationale> zer0bit: It is a VERY basic introduction to linux...
[21:27] <Dougal> hi i have just recived the ubuntu 64bit edition disk the boot screen is fine i select start/install ubuntu and then mty screen gos dead and my monitor recives no sigan i have tried all option and save graphics

[21:28] <lnkxm> I LOVE UBUNTU!
[21:28] <Sjimmie> why?
[21:28] <Starnestommy> fx|RabBit: the community, the project structure, the goals, and lots of other things.  I've barely used debian before, so I'm not exactly sure what all the differences are
[21:28] <Sjimmie> becuz it makes you feel cool and unique?
[21:29] <lnkxm> who else loves ubuntu??

[21:37] <Reenen> but I've only heard about these things
[21:37] <ubuntu__> Where is Restricted Manager?
[21:37] <l815> does anyone else experience firefox constantly crashing?

[21:38] <Reenen> sudo apt-get install openoffice

[21:39] <grezer34> Hey Guys, Is there a way to change your GUI from Xubuntu to Gnome ?? if so how ??
[21:40] <prince_jammys> grezer34: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:40] <leafwiz> What does lots of ? ? ? and red text mean when you do a ls -la
[21:40] <ConstyXIV_> is there a way to mute the "Unsafe device removal" warning?
[21:40] <katakaio> grezer34: Sure is. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:40] <Odd-rationale> grezer34: Install xubuntu-desktop
[21:40] <edosar> hi i'm searching for help  running virtualbox on ubuntu 7.10, specially on network configuration do you know some links that i can read (aside form virutal box docs)
[21:40] <prince_jammys> he already has xubuntu
[21:40] <katakaio> grezer34: ubuntu-desktop for GNOME, xubuntu-desktop for XFCE
[21:40] <Odd-rationale> grezer34: Sorry, I got it backwards, do as katakaio says...
[21:40] <`paul> how do i make my perl script output nothing
[21:40] <katakaio> and kubuntu-desktop for KDE
[21:41] <grezer34> prince_jammys and that will change the GUI ?? I cant stand XUbuntu
[21:41] <fx|RabBit> Reenen: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org
[21:41] <ConstyXIV_> CVD-PR: what are you running in wine that needs java?
[21:41] <webulator70> crap, i knew xgl would fail me
[21:41] <prince_jammys> grezer34: ubuntu-desktop is gnome, yes
[21:41] <`paul> i mean i downloaded a script and added it to init.d but the problem is its outputing some things
[21:41] <CVD-PR> ConstyXIV_,  i windows .exe
[21:41] <prince_jammys> grezer34: there's also kubuntu-desktop if you want to try kde
[21:41] <katakaio> grezer34: You will have the option at the login screen for which desktop interface you want
[21:42] <ConstyXIV_> CVD-PR: what program?
[21:42] <katakaio> grezer34: You can also uninstall xubuntu-desktop if you don't ever want to see it again
[21:42] <Reenen> fx|RabBit: it seems to be starting, but I want to use the files I have downloaded from work, and not the current stuff from the net, because I have a very low cap on my broadband (150mb)
[21:42] <CVD-PR> ConstyXIV_,  its an examn
[21:42] <tomtommy> Flare183, cheers. I can now view PDF files via Firefox webpages :)
[21:42] <amenado> `paul->  can you direct stderr and stdout to  /dev/null ?
[21:42] <l815> are there any ways to fix firefox from crashing often?
[21:42] <Flare183> tomtommy: great
[21:42] <fx|RabBit> Reenen: so you mean you have downloaded an installer at work?
[21:42] <tomtommy> Flare183, :)
[21:42] <fx|RabBit> Reenen: what is the exact filename?
[21:43] <CVD-PR> ?
[21:43] <tomtommy> Flare183, I needed that thanks! cause I needed to be able to view my bank statements via website.
[21:43] <Reenen> fx|RabBit: I downloaded OOo_2.3.1_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz from work
[21:43] <`paul> amenado: how?
[21:44] <fx|RabBit> Reenen:  so do tar xzvf OOo_2.3.1_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz to unpack the file
[21:44] <fx|RabBit> Reenen: then see what is inside
[21:44] <Lasivian> has anyone worked with an orinoco card and the hostap drivers?
[21:45] <Reenen> fx|RabBit:  yes, I've done that... And I have loads of .deb files, and a folder name "desktop-integration" which contains 1 .deb file.  That file I could right-click and install using "GDebi package installer"
[21:45] <n2diy> Can I assign a name to a USB stick? With multible sticks in my reader I lose track of which one is sda1, sda2 etc...
[21:45] <catmistake> help... lost my xserver. Anyone with PPC, ati rage 128 & 17" monitor, can you post your xorg.conf?
[21:45] <fx|RabBit> Reenen: exaclty
[21:46] <mneptok> Reenen: why are you installing OpenOffice from local packages? it's in the repositories.
[21:46] <Reenen> because I have a 150mb cap at home, and at work it's "free" (well not really, but I don't pay for it)
[21:46] <mneptok> Reenen: but OO.o is already installed on Ubuntu
[21:47] <Reenen> yes, but I want to upgrade to 2.3.1, not use 2.2.0
[21:47] <grezer34> prince_jammys dident work this is the error that i am getting " E: Invalid operation ubuntu-desktop
[21:47] <grezer34> "
[21:47] <fx|RabBit> Reenen: it ought to work now odont it?
[21:47] <prince_jammys> grezer34: what command did you type?
[21:48] <mneptok> Reenen: you may have to upgrade other packages. OO.o has a ton of dependencies.
[21:48] <Odd-rationale> grezer34: Do sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[21:48] <Reenen> fx|RabBit:  It says "Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Feisty II' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter"
[21:48] <fx|RabBit> rofl
[21:49] <Reenen> because I have 5 DVD which is a complete Ubuntu Feisty Repository that I got from the freedom toaster
[21:49] <fx|RabBit> ah thats kewl
[21:49] <Reenen> and Feisty II is the 2nd of those dvds
[21:49] <fx|RabBit> jep kk
[21:49] <fx|RabBit> need to isntall gdebi probably..
[21:49] <raiderxx> Where is the equivalent of My Computer on Ubuntu where I can look at HDD space?
[21:49] <lydgate> git is kind of confusing
[21:50] <Reenen> raiderxx: Places -> Computer
[21:50] <jacobian_> is there a way I can keep the nvidia kernel module from being loaded at boot
[21:50] <Y-Town> is there any advantage to running ubuntu server over ubuntu for a small home/business serer?  I would be looking to do the obvious file sharing, printing, web/ftp server.  I am not sure about using it as a router or just letting all my other computers use the linksys router
[21:51] <jacobian_> it auto-loads the correct one if I do rmmod nvidia ; /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[21:51] <Lasivian> do I have to do something to the kernel after installing a driver package, or should that be done automatically?
[21:51] <grezer34> prince_jammys sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop
[21:51] <Lasivian> my new driver isn't loading and I don't know how to troubleshoot why i'm afraid
[21:51] <prince_jammys> grezer34: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:51] <grezer34> prince_jammys that is the command that I tried, I think i tried that once before too .. cant remember
[21:51] <prince_jammys> grezer34: you're missing the "install"
[21:51] <fx|RabBit> Y-Town: ubuntu server is ubuntu -desktop or ubuntu is desktop + services
[21:51] <kenny> duuuuude
[21:51] <grezer34> :)
[21:51] <prince_jammys> grezer34: once you've installed ubuntu-desktop you have to log out and then in the log-in screen select gnome from "sessions"
[21:52] <sauceror> hi.
[21:52] <Odd-rationale> But isn't there a separate server kernel?
[21:52] <prince_jammys> raiderxx: you can also see it graphically in Applications->Accessories->Disk Usage
[21:52] <sauceror> can anyone help me configure fglrx drivers for ATI Radeon 9200 on Gutsy Gibbon?
[21:52]  * Lasivian reboots to see if that changes anything
[21:52] <sauceror> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI I was using this guide, but it failed me at aticonfig :(
[21:53] <Y-Town> fx|RabBit: so no real need to run ubuntu server since I would want the windows then ihh
[21:53] <grezer34> ok that did it
[21:53] <grezer34> now I hope this will work
[21:53] <grezer34> :)
[21:53] <Sonderblade> why does vino-session keep respawning when i try to kill it?
[21:53] <sauceror> hi, can anyone help me configure fglrx drivers for ATI Radeon 9200 on Gutsy Gibbon?
[21:53] <sauceror> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI I was using this guide, but it failed me at aticonfig :(
[21:53] <fx|RabBit> Y-Town: if you install an ubuntu server and run apt-get install ubuntu-desktop you got the services plus desktop or you do it the other way arround, its basically the same
[21:53] <raiderxx> Thank you
[21:54] <danand> jacobian_ - you can prevent a module from being loaded by adding it to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file. you can add the name of the correct module you want to load at boot to /etc/modules. Is that what you wanted to do?
[21:54] <nickthorley> does anyone know why my system may have lost my graphics card settings from the last time i used it
[21:54] <Y-Town> fx|RabBit: thank you
[21:54] <soderqvist> To be able to play counterstrike do I have to install directx on my ubuntu?
[21:54] <raiderxx> And Im also having problems getting my nvidia drivers
[21:54] <fx|RabBit> Y-Town: np:)
[21:54] <grezer34> now is there a way to uninstall Xubuntu ??
[21:54] <prince_jammys> raiderxx: do you want a link to a guide?
[21:55] <raiderxx> That would be awesome
[21:55] <prince_jammys> grezer34: once you are logged in gnome, do sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop
[21:55] <fx|RabBit> soderqvist: there is no such thing like dirctx on ubuntu linux uses opengl which would be the pendant to directx
[21:55] <prince_jammys> !nvidia | raiderxx: check if this is useful
[21:55] <ubotu> raiderxx: check if this is useful: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[21:55] <DonkeyKong101> howcome i cant "drag and drop" a file from my desktop....says i have no permision?
[21:55] <grezer34> ok
[21:55] <Starnestommy> wine can emulate some directx features
[21:55] <Darknes1> ola pessoal
[21:55] <grezer34> that sounds easy enough
[21:56] <fx|RabBit> soderqvist: if counterstrkie has no native linux installer you might want to use cedega or wine to be able to play it
[21:56] <kenny> hey duuuudes
[21:56] <fx|RabBit> !wine soderqvist

[21:58] <Darknes1> hello... I need to transfer my documents from windows to Linux and I wish to use a migrate tool. Somebody know how do I do it?
[21:58] <Seb962> Darknes1: What kind of documents?
[21:58] <fx|RabBit> !cedega > soderqvist
[21:58] <ArthurArchnix> `paul: ^^
[21:59] <fx|RabBit> umm... wheres ubotu gone?
[21:59] <ubuntuisloved> Darknes1: why not mount NTFS in ubuntu then copy over
[21:59] <prince_jammys> fx|RabBit: that does it as a pm
[21:59] <Seb962> I've just installed ubuntu and it recognized all my windows files.
[21:59] <Y-Town>  anyone know a good website to learn about the linux directory structure.  I would really like to learn what each has to do with the system
[21:59] <brobostigon> !wine | soderqvist
[21:59] <ubotu> soderqvist: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[21:59] <`paul> ArthurArchnix: yes?
[21:59] <fx|RabBit> prince_jammys: humm i c...
[21:59] <ntr> Where can I find a list of the files included in a standard encrypted root fs initrd-file?
[21:59] <fx|RabBit> ah
[21:59] <fx|RabBit> kkk
[21:59] <fx|RabBit> hehe
[22:00] <ArthurArchnix> "how do i run a script but should output nothing im try to run it thru init.d" >> Paul if it's empty how will you know the script is run?
[22:00] <prince_jammys> yeah | puts it in the channel, and > sends it as PM
[22:00] <iter> hi all, looking at a 6.06LTS box here, I notice there are two init.d scripts, mdadm and mdadm-raid... what's the deal?
[22:00] <prince_jammys> !anything
[22:00] <ubotu> So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone.
[22:00] <Darknes1> Seb962: Everything, i need to migrate to favorite IE to favorite firefox, e-mails from outlook to thunderbird and other things
[22:00] <iter> (this is on more than one box btw)
[22:00] <fx|RabBit> Y-Town: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxdir.html
[22:01] <fx|RabBit> Y-Town: google is ypur freind btw...
[22:01] <danand> ArthurArchnix - i think paul may possibly mean he does not want his script to output anything to stdout, stderr etc
[22:01] <Lasivian> how do I tell if a driver is being loaded?
[22:01] <|Zippo|> someone installed ubuntu on a notebook and got the error: Cannot allocate resource in region 7???
[22:01] <Darknes1> ubuntuisloved: Because is not to me
[22:01] <Lasivian> or could be loaded
[22:01] <Lasivian> I can't figure out how to narrow down why a pcmcia card is not loading a driver
[22:02] <danand> Lasivian - lsmod should list all loaded modules
[22:02] <nickthorley> does everyone install the flash plugin from the macromedia site rather than a repo
[22:02] <fx|RabBit> prince_jammys: yeah i saw the difference when brobostigon wrote the other message
[22:02] <ubuntuisloved> Darknes1: why not use samba to copy to ubuntu
[22:02] <Darknes1> Seb962: I know that have this tool... But I only can to use it when I'm installing
[22:02] <Odd-rationale> nickthorley: I dont
[22:02] <FD_F> I'm installing ubuntu 7.10 and I'm getting an error: Can't install GRUB on hd0. At 93% completed.
[22:02] <fx|RabBit> danand: which would be 2&>1 then...
[22:02] <Lasivian> danand: thanks
[22:02] <danand> Lasivian - try lsmod | grep name_of_module to help you out a bit
[22:02] <tyranos> how can i get firefox and nautilus make click sounds like in windows
[22:02] <brobostigon> fx|RabBit: sorry??
[22:02] <prince_jammys> fx|RabBit: you can also /msg ubotu to have a private session with it and see what different keywords do
[22:02] <Lasivian> it's listed there
[22:03] <nickthorley> odd-rationale: I have the one from the repo but watching vids off utube isnt possible
[22:03] <fx|RabBit> prince_jammys: have you coded ubotu? gg
[22:03] <danand> fx|RabBit - yes - 2&>1 > /dev/null i think
[22:03] <prince_jammys> fx|RabBit: no, just a ubotu fan
[22:03] <DOOM_NX> does anyone know how i can transfer files with xvncviewer?...
[22:03] <tomtommy> how can I get OpenOffice to offer correctly spelled words for misspelled words?
[22:03] <Odd-rationale> nickthorley: You can try installing the one from adobe, but it works fine for me.
[22:03] <fx|RabBit> hehe well it is a good thing indeed
[22:03] <prince_jammys> !botsnack
[22:03] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[22:04] <fx|RabBit> tomtommy: enable spellcheck? -.-
[22:04] <tomtommy> fx|RabBit, wrong answer :)
[22:04] <tomtommy> fx|RabBit, its already on and working
[22:04] <Darknes1> ubuntuisloved: because I need to use a tool migrate that I won't need to be there
[22:04] <kenny> duuudes
[22:04] <fx|RabBit> tomtommy: so whats the problem then?
[22:04] <tomtommy> in MS Office it offers a correctly spelled word
[22:04] <tomtommy> fx|RabBit, are u not listening? LOL
[22:04] <nickthorley> odd-rationale: so you can  watch utube vids from standard flash player
[22:05] <sauceror> hi, can anyone help me configure fglrx drivers for ATI Radeon 9200 on 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon?
[22:05] <Odd-rationale> nickthorley: Yes. let me double-check...
[22:05] <fx|RabBit> tomtommy: nope i cant hear written words:p
[22:05] <sauceror> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI I was using this guide, but it failed me at aticonfig :(
[22:05] <tomtommy> fx|RabBit,  :)
[22:05] <PriceChild> !hi
[22:05] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[22:05] <`paul> ArthurArchnix: well i have this perl script that i want to run on evry start up so i put it in init.d but  when i run /etc/init.d/myperlscript start it outputs something
[22:05] <tomtommy> fx|RabBit, In MS Office it offers a correctly spelled word if it finds a wrong spelled word.  How I get OO to do that?
[22:06] <Odd-rationale> tomtommy: Does right-clicking the word do it?
[22:06] <fx|RabBit> tomtommy: frankly spoken no idea...
[22:06] <ArthurArchnix> Can't you just refer to the perl script through /etc/rc.local?
[22:06] <tomtommy> Odd-rationale, no, right click doesnt show any correct or alternate words
[22:06] <ArthurArchnix> `paul ^
[22:06] <tomtommy> Odd-rationale, any other ideas?
[22:06] <mrpoundsign> hello. :) just curious, as a server administrator, is there a way to have a list of package updates emailed to an administrator address when they are available? Something along the lines of the portaudit package for FreeBSD...
[22:06] <tomtommy> fx|RabBit, whos frank? :P
[22:06] <iter> anyone here using mdadm for software raid ?
[22:06] <prince_jammys> read the OpenOffice help?
[22:07] <Odd-rationale> tomtommy: Right-click- autocorrect ? Does it for me.
[22:07] <Odd-rationale> tomtommy: Right-click --> autocorrect
[22:07] <fx|RabBit> mrpoundsign: not actually buit if you find a solution be so kind to forward it to me
[22:07] <tomtommy> Odd-rationale, i dont see autocorrect when I right click
[22:07] <tim__> mrpoundsign: write a shell script to do it, it shouldn;t be too hard
[22:08] <Slue_Gniffer> Has anyone successfully gotten DreamLX to run on Ubuntu or any other Dreamcast-Emulator?
 I have a router installation running 2.6.22 and a simple iptables NAT on a PIII 733.  The user of this NAT is complaining that when he bypasses the NAT, he gets 4.8Mbps, while he only gets 2.4Mbps through the NAT.  For the purposes of the test, he removed both the NAT and one terminal from the LAN and connected them directly together.  What can I do to reduce the bottleneck?
[22:08] <gil> Really dumb question: How do I set up my monitor's refresh rate - is there an x86 config gui anywhere? It'll only let me set my monitor's refresh rate up to 60hz!
[22:08] <tomtommy> Odd-rationale, how did you get autocorrect to appear as u right click?
[22:08] <Odd-rationale> tomtommy: Are you right-clicking the word with the red squiggly?
[22:08] <tomtommy> Odd-rationale, yes
[22:08] <mrpoundsign> tim__: Yeah, would be nice to just know which ones have upstream packages with security fixes. :)
[22:08] <gnychis> where are the keyboard shortcuts stored in clear text?
[22:08] <tomtommy> Odd-rationale, and this is  a newly installed Ubuntu, 2 days ago
[22:08] <prince_jammys> tomtommy: the word is underlined in red, right?
[22:08] <tomtommy> Odd-rationale, first time im running OO,  did u install something to get autocorrect to appear?
[22:09] <tomtommy> prince_jammys, yes it is, red squiggly line
[22:09] <UJustLostTheGame> it's true.
[22:09] <UJustLostTheGame> >:D
[22:09] <tomtommy> prince_jammys, but when I right click, i dont see any autocorrect or other words
[22:09] <w00tsauce22> hi room, i'm having trouble playing videos :(
[22:09] <prince_jammys> tomtommy: and when you right click directly on top of the word do you get a meu?
[22:09] <Odd-rationale> tomtommy: No, it worked like that "right out of the box" try installing the OO dict for your language.
[22:09] <prince_jammys> menu
[22:09] <fx|RabBit> !nvidia | gil
[22:09] <ubotu> gil: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[22:09] <nickthorley> odd-rationale: sorry to be a pain - did it work?
[22:10] <UJustLostTheGame> <---
[22:10] <aLeSD> hi all
[22:10] <Odd-rationale> nickthorley: My internet is slow, hold on...
[22:10] <fx|RabBit> gil then use the driver to set up the refresh rate like with nvidia-settings command
[22:10] <gil> fx|RabBit thanks - I have the non oss drivers installed - I need to somehow stop Ubuntu restrciting my refresh rate - my monitor is an old non pnp MItsubishi Diamond Pro 21TX and go higher than 60 hz :)
[22:10] <aLeSD> someone could suggest me a good latex editor in ubuntu ?
[22:10] <gil> fx|RabBit okay got it... I'll try now
[22:10] <tomtommy> prince_jammys, yuou are a genius :) u made me realise my error LOL!  Listen to this....  I was always highlighting the word first and thats why it didnt give alternate words.  But when I dont highlight the word and just right click on the word, it gives me other correctly spelled words :)
[22:10] <tomtommy> prince_jammys, thanks :)
[22:10] <gnychis> where are keyboard shortcuts in gconf-editor?
[22:11] <prince_jammys> tomtommy: :)
[22:11] <nickthorley> odd-rationale: oh ok sorry - I have just checked and my machine has the firefox macromedia flash 9 plugin installed from the repo
[22:11] <tomtommy> Odd-rationale, i was highlithing the word first, thats why it gave a different menu :P
[22:11] <Lasivian> anyone ever dealt with the hostap driver for an orinoco card?
[22:11] <prince_jammys> tomtommy: right, you were probably getting "cut" "paste" and so on
[22:11] <tomtommy> prince_jammys, so yeah, i dont highlight the word, just right click on it :P  how silly of me :P
[22:11] <tomtommy> prince_jammys, EXACTLY LOL
[22:12] <fx|RabBit> gil in that case i suggest you google three values for that monitors specs: vsync hrefresh and resolutions and add that manually to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:12] <ArthurArchnix> if I use the alternate installer, can I avoid installing the bootloade? I've already got one.
[22:12] <DOOM_NX> does anyone know how i can transfer files with xvncviewer?...
[22:12] <gil> fx|RabBit thanks
[22:12] <tomtommy> prince_jammys, I use OO every day, you have no idea how happy I am right now having that work for me :) thanks mate!
[22:12] <fx|RabBit> gil youre very welcome:9
[22:13] <joao_> hello
[22:13] <tomtommy> Odd-rationale, did u see what I was doing wrong?
[22:13] <prince_jammys> gil: if all else fails, the refresh rate can also be edited directly in the file:: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:13] <Odd-rationale> tomtommy: Yes... ^_^
[22:13] <tomtommy> Odd-rationale, because I was highliging the word, it gave me wtong menu, paste etc
[22:14] <tomtommy> duh :P
[22:14] <gil> prince_jammys Just before I do it - there are no weird ctrl-alt-backspace crashing x server issues with Ubuntu are there?
[22:14] <prince_jammys> gil: do what? edit the file?
[22:14] <Puma> gh
[22:15] <gil> prince_jammys yeah can I restart x-server the lazy way after I edit it? :)
[22:15] <fx|RabBit> gil basically not but in that case x is quite bulletproof in ubuntu and will try to failsagfe
[22:15] <prince_jammys> gil: if you are going to edit the file - first back it up with :  sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak        , then edit it and the restart the way you said
[22:15] <gil> fx|RabBit / prince_jammys - I've found what I need in the nvidia-settings GUI so thanks for the advice.... however I had to apt-get it... it wasn't included with the binary non-free drivers... is that correct?
[22:15] <fx|RabBit> rigth!
[22:16] <fx|RabBit> basically it shouldd be included
[22:16] <Odd-rationale> nickthorley: OK, yes. it works for me.
[22:16] <fx|RabBit> ok, sleepingtime, night everybody:]
[22:16] <phaedral> really struggling with my usb drive in gnome; totally intermittent auto-detection
[22:16] <nickthorley> odd-rationale: ok thanks - presume I am missing a plugin somewhere - thanks for your help
[22:17] <gil> fx|RabBit okay well nm, at least I got it fixed now - for some reason my resolution had defaulted to 1680- x 1050 :)
[22:17] <fx|RabBit> gil yepp which is what matters
[22:17] <prince_jammys> gil: if it works and you got it from apt, you should be fine
[22:17] <gil> fx / prince - thanks for all of your help :D
[22:17] <some1--> anyone used TFTP.. I installed it, it runs on port 69, when I try to use the client and get any file from it, it says "FORBIDDEN DIRECTORY" .... ANY ideas?

[22:19] <Brennnan> whts it do?
[22:19] <prince_jammys> Brennnan: nothing
[22:19] <greasy_leftwing> I thought it would be a good to get involved
[22:19] <DigitalNinja> where does udev store device info?
[22:19] <greasy_leftwing> seems like the way to go to me
[22:19] <prince_jammys> Brennnan: try "aptitude moo"
[22:20] <Brennnan> nice easter egg
[22:20]  * Lasivian has been fighting his network card for days, trying not to give in to putting Windows back on to do what unix cannot
[22:20] <prince_jammys> Brennnan: and after that do "aptitude moo -v"

[22:23] <brobostigon> IPGHOST: have you tried openoffice??
[22:24] <Reenen> IPGHOST: Open the .docx file in MS-Office 2007 and save it as an old-school office document
[22:24] <Lasivian> can anyone help me figure out why the hostap drivers and my orinoco card aren't getting along? :)
[22:24] <IPGHOST> man im on ubuntu dont wna stuck in MS products

[22:25] <mrpoundsign> IPGHOST: <sarcasm>Read the spec, and write a little perl script to interpret it</sarcasm><nosarcasm>OpenOffice can probably do it.</nosarcasm>
[22:25] <prince_jammys> Lasivian: post everything you did and the specs of your card and driver.  it's the best way to increase the odds of getting an answer faster
[22:25] <Lasivian> greasy_leftwing: part of me just really cries at the idea of going back to MS when I feel so close to making it work
[22:25] <Reenen> Brennnan: that's exactly what my problem was
[22:25] <Reenen> Brennnan: please tell me more...
[22:25] <hvgotcodes> can someone please post the relevant part of conkyrc to get artwiz fonts going?

[22:26] <alesan> another guy has is working (with my same account) but no idea what is the password. I guess I might copy a file or sometihng to get back sending emails
[22:27] <chad_> is anyone familiar with linux mce?
[22:27] <mrpoundsign> alesan: is there a reason you cannot contact your provider to set up a new password?
[22:27] <sansaro> hello

[22:28] <arthy> Hi, my computer was running fine on Feisty, but whenever I use Gutsy the non-root hard drives make a noise when being accessed which sounds like they keep spinning up then down, and this has already killed one drive :( Any ideas what could be up?
[22:28] <ConstyXIV> are there any ready-built packages of GTK/WebKit and Epiphany/WebKit for gutsy?
[22:28] <DonkeyKong101> zosso: how do i do that?
[22:28]  * Lasivian is trying to get an orinoco card working on 7.10 xubuntu. It worked with the normal orinoco driver but had no monitor mode. Downloaded the hostap driver (it shows up under lsmod). I have blacklisted the orinoco driver (it does not show up under lsmod). when I insert the card I can see it under cardctl, but it does NOT come up under ifconfig/iwconfig
[22:28] <alesan> mrpoundsign: anyway, maybe I have found a way... thunderbird seems to have a option to show the saved passowords
[22:28] <sansaro> guys is there away to make ubuntu install in small size ? ( like nlite for xp  ) thats allow u to make the windows at the size u want by delete some stuff etc etc

[22:45] <CannibalM> hey
[22:45] <CannibalM> can anyone else see this?
[22:45] <dny> cannibal: yes
[22:45] <soundray> Jahromeo: it should have vanished when you log in the next time.
[22:45] <CannibalM> or is my connection dead.
[22:45] <CannibalM> thank you.
[22:46] <dny> mhmm
[22:46] <CannibalM> Apparently I can't browse the web suddenly,
[22:46] <CannibalM> but can do everything else.
[22:46] <Jahromeo> pretty sure ive restarted since then
[22:46] <CannibalM> wtf
[22:46] <soundray> Jahromeo: if not, use the alacarte menu editor (System-Preferences-Main Menu)
[22:46] <Jack_Sparrow> tyranos, Like system   pref  sound.. a few options in there
[22:46] <dny> happens to me a lot :/
[22:46] <Jahromeo> any dir that is stored in?
[22:46] <osiris__> Jack_Sparrow, weird, because the fancy on screen display comes up when i press the controls
[22:46] <Jahromeo> thanks very much sound - exactly what i was looking for
[22:47] <DOOM_NX> i enabled the magnifying glass by acident (Win+R)

[22:48] <osfameron> ah!
[22:48] <steve176> hi. I need to set JAVA_HOME. I've added it to /etc/environment which works fine when I log on locally, but not if I log on remotely via ssh. any ideas?
[22:48] <osfameron> looking in /var/log/messages, it looks like the last time I opened the laptop lid, it did *not* register an resume event at all
[22:48] <osiris__> Jack_Sparrow, ok, what about the large font problem? any ideas?
[22:48] <Jahromeo> is there a version of kataput for ubuntu ? e.g whats the shortcut key because alt-f2 and typing gnome terminal is pissing me off
[22:48] <tyranos> Jack_Sparrow, yeah like that but i only get sound on login and logout
[22:48] <Jack_Sparrow> osiris__, not sure what you are describing, do you have a screenshot posted?
[22:49] <Al-Hur> Hi, I want to have widgets/gadgets to the right ti show my my system performance (RAM/CPU). What do I do?
[22:49] <soundray> steve176: set it in $HOME/.bashrc or run 'export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java' each time
[22:49] <brobostigon> Al-Hur: have a look at gkrellm,
[22:50] <pajamian> anyone know much about printing?  why it might work in one app and not another?
[22:50] <Al-Hur> brobostigon: do I aptget install it?
[22:51] <brobostigon> Al-Hur: sudo apt-get install gkrellm
[22:51] <steve176> soundray: It needs to be a global setting. $HOME/.bashrc would only be for my user. Same for export presumably
[22:51] <soundray> steve176: /etc/profile then
[22:51] <soundray> steve176: I'm surprised it doesn't seem to read /etc/environment, though
[22:51] <Al-Hur> I'm on it.
[22:52] <catmistake> hey... is anyone running  ubuntu w/ a 17" dell flatpanel and ati rage 128 graphics card? and if so, can I have your xorg.conf file?
[22:52] <steve176> soundray: it's really weird (and very annoying!)
[22:52] <linduxed> is there a tool or a package that can do the autodetection of the livecd that sets up your system? i dont want to reinstall the entire thing...but i know that when i use the livecd stuff that doesnt work now...works
[22:52] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: xgl has mega performance problems with games and the like it seems
[22:52] <steve176> soundray: it also seems a bit inconsistent. The machines I'm contecting too are Ubuntu 7.10 Server Edition. Ubuntu 7.10 desktop seems to work
[22:52] <soundray> steve176: do you want to wait while I reproduce it here?
[22:52] <osiris__> Jack_Sparrow, This is the same problem but they only have quick fixes... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=583915&highlight=title+bar+font&page=3
[22:53] <densone> anyone here run Gutsy on a Mac Mini?
[22:53] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, Compiz needs to be turned off for decent gaming
[22:53] <steve176> soundray: if you don't mind that would be great. Please note though I'm only getting the problem with 7.10 server edition
[22:53] <brobostigon> densone: i have gutsy on an ibook g3
[22:53] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: there is no decent way to get ati going on aiglx?
[22:53] <soundray> steve176: I've got both in virtual machines. Give me a few minutes.
[22:53] <webulator70> because ati claims to support it
[22:54] <catmistake> brobostigon:  can I have your xorg.conf? put it in pastie?
[22:54] <NeT_DeMoN_> my screen blacks out everytime i log out, is there a solutuion?

[22:54] <jkliment> hi all
[22:55] <RoAkSoAx> knoppix: mount -t ntfs /dev/sdaX /mount/point
[22:55] <fredmv> Anyone familar with getting wireless internet working on a laptop under Ubuntu?
[22:55] <catmistake> Lost my xserver... on boot, see the splash, when the xerver starts up, just blackness... not starting right.
[22:55] <jkliment> does any1 have experience with substruct on ubuntu?
[22:55] <steve176> fredmv: what laptop?
[22:55] <prince_jammys> knoppix: you can mount it from a terminal or add an entry to /etc/fstab to have it mount automatically
[22:55] <Jack_Sparrow> webulator70, I showed you the best setup for ati that I am aware of...
[22:56] <fredmv> steve176, running on a Dell Inspiron 1525.   Evidently they use Broadcom chips.
[22:56] <Jack_Sparrow> brb
[22:56] <densone> going to try and install gutsy now
[22:56] <densone> will see what happens
[22:56] <steve176> fredmv: you're in luck. I did that last week
[22:56] <NeT_DeMoN_> why does my screen black out everytime i log out until i press the power button, i have a desktop
[22:56] <webulator70> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks anyway, ill likely just get an nvidia 9600 then
[22:56] <steve176> fredmv: took 3 days !!!
[22:56] <fredmv> steve176, I got near the end in this tutorial: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/Wireless/Truemobile_ndiswrapper#Basic_Information but things don't seem to be working.
[22:56] <fredmv> steve176, lol.. please feel free to divulge how you figured this out.
[22:56] <steve176> fredmv: that's the one I followed, but there were a few extra steps
[22:56] <fredmv> steve, just msg me.
[22:57] <phantomcircuitb> how can i mount it read only?
[22:57] <RequinB4> NeT_DeMon - maybe a useless question - is acpi on?
[22:57] <NeT_DeMoN_> i dont know, how do i find out?
[22:58] <patrick__> Ubuntu rocks!! just had to mention it :)
[22:58] <soundray> steve176: it works here, even in server
[22:58] <RequinB4> NeT_DeMoN_ that probably means yes
[22:58] <fredmv> steve176, what are the 'extra steps'?
[22:58] <Jack_Sparrow> fredmv, bcm43xx are not a problem  the bcm943xx are harder.
[22:58] <NeT_DeMoN_> alright
[22:58] <Brennnan> what is "apt-get moo makes me laugh"
[22:58] <userx532> i installed ubuntu and it borked my power switch. i demand linux devs pay me 15 dollars
[22:58] <soundray> steve176: could be something stupid, like a missing newline at the end of the file
[22:58] <NeT_DeMoN_> RequinB4: how do i fix it?
[22:58] <Redhammer_the_Ol> hi short & simple question, how can I do a timed shutdown completely silent, ie NO WARNING MESSAGES or beeps ?
[22:58] <Lasivian> there, more details of my Orinoco issue: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5292/
[22:59] <steve176> fredmv: After you follow the dell tutorial did you see a wireless connection in network manager?
[22:59] <RequinB4> Net_DeMoN - Can't really help you, but acpi is the power manager, if it is off then you would get the problem you describe.  Just a thought
[22:59] <ep2011> Does anyone know where to get the areao icons? I can't find them online
[22:59] <fredmv> steve176, nope, still just "Wired" and "Modem"
[22:59] <peace> installed newest nvidia drivers... cannot play any 3d games !!! cannot watch nvidia-settings - please configure xconfig.. im not sure what must i do.. 139.09drivers..
[22:59] <NeT_DeMoN_> RequinB4: alright, thanks
[22:59] <steve176> soundray: you need a new line at the end of /etc/environment?
[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> userx532, That isnt possible...
[23:00] <steve176> fredmv: You installed the windows XP drivers downloaded from the dell web site?
[23:00] <Lasivian> I think I might have missed something installing the driver, but I assume the synaptic package would do everything
[23:00] <steve176> fredmv: the vista ones don't work
[23:00] <soundray> steve176: um, what I mean is that the last line, if its not empty, should end in a newline character
[23:00] <steve176> soundray: I'll try it thx
[23:00] <Jack_Sparrow> peace, What nvidia card..
[23:00] <peace> 6800ultra
[23:00] <hotmonkeyluv> what does the -p option do in this command: mkdir -p  ~/compiz/ ?
[23:00] <fredmv> steve176, I'll verify that.  I did install a Windows driver, although perhaps it was the Vista one.  So XP is required.. ?
[23:00] <RequinB4> Brennenan - 'apt-get moo' is a program easter egg.  It displays a cow in ASCII art.
[23:01] <steve176> fredmv: yes.
[23:01] <soundray> hotmonkeyluv: it creates your home directory, should it not exist ;)
[23:01] <Jack_Sparrow> peace, the 6000 nvidia work great with default restricted drivers from the repos..
[23:01] <soundray> hotmonkeyluv: man mkdir
[23:01] <steve176> fredmv: did you find the "no fuss" ubuntu article?
[23:01] <userx532> ubunpoo borked my power switch
[23:01] <peace> now apps runs a bit slowly as if with no gfx..but no fatal x error now..!
[23:01] <SlimG> Does anyone know of a reason for why the internet-connections works out-of-box from the Ubuntu 7.10 liveCD, but not after installalling it on a disk and booting from it?
[23:01] <fredmv> steve176, do you know offhand if R174291.exe  is the correct driver package?  That's the file I got off the dell support site.
[23:01] <fredmv> steve176, haven't seen it, but I'll look it up.
[23:01] <soundray> userx532: do you have a support question? Abuse is not welcome here.
[23:01] <peace> with old drivers and something..there was big random chance to crash.. with fatal x error :(
[23:01] <hotmonkeyluv> soundray: thx
[23:02] <ep2011> Does anyone know where to get the areao icons? I can't find them online
[23:02] <steve176> fredmv: I recorded my config on the "no fuss" bcm43xx wiki page
[23:02] <Jack_Sparrow> userx532, Please stop.  It isnt true and cant happen
[23:03] <linduxed> is there a tool or a package that can do the autodetection of the livecd that sets up your system? i dont want to reinstall the entire thing...but i know that when i use the livecd stuff that doesnt work now...works
[23:03] <userx532> ok ill stop but i do have a question, why do i get "wrong OS or OS version" when i try to install norton antivirus
[23:03] <greasy_leftwing> that depends on what the problem is
[23:03] <greasy_leftwing> -linuxed
[23:04] <Starnestommy> userx532: because norton antivirus is for windows and linux doesn't need an antivirus
[23:04] <Jack_Sparrow> peace, it was something other than the drivers, they have been bulletproof.
[23:04] <Ulfalizer> when i try to compile a simple test program with "gcc testcomp.c -o testcomp" on my freshly installed 7.10 system, gcc complains it can't find standard headers such as stdio.h. do i have to install those separately?

[23:07] <userx532> oh, right. forgot that one lol youre right. ok so no viruses on linux thats great. thanks

[23:08] <Jack_Sparrow> l815, I still dual boot windows. for that occasional game fix, it just does not have internet access...
[23:08] <steve176> fredmv: The last step was preventing ubuntu from attempting to start the interface too early so it continued to work on reboot

[23:09] <steve176> fredmv: I'll see if I can find those links!
[23:09] <Yggdrasil> is there any way to run the installer from a terminal connected to a serial port of the box thats being installed ?

[23:09] <reportingsjr> Could someone help me set up a second monitor for my computer? I have it hooked up but I can't get it working. =\
[23:09] <Jack_Sparrow> userx532, We have an #Ubuntu-offtopic room that has more flexible rules..
[23:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !install > Yggdrasil
[23:10] <reportingsjr> anyone?
[23:10] <fredmv> steve176, I kinda' wonder if the next release will cover these kinds of issues.  I know they're working on it.
[23:10] <oladsadasda> hi.
[23:10] <l815> my firefox randomly freezes and crashes, are there any things i can do to minimize it?
[23:10] <linduxed> greasy_leftwing: no the wifi died all of a sudden, after reboot wifi was gone
[23:10] <oladsadasda> i want to install kiba dock on my gutsy laptop. anyone can help me?
[23:10] <Jack_Sparrow> l815, Try reinstalling flash
[23:10] <etfb> l815: Is it happening when you use Flash (YouTube, etc)?
[23:10] <osiris__> ep2011, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Area-blue?content=67852
[23:10] <l815> yeah i think flash is the problem
[23:10] <linduxed> greasy_leftwing: really... is there a autoconfiguration package?
[23:11] <l815> jack_sparrow, etfb, I will try reinstalling flash, thanks
[23:11] <steve176> fredmv: well supposedly gutsy restricted driver manager was supposed to, but it didn't work for me. Just said I didn't have any hardware that needed it
[23:11] <peace> installed newest nvidia drivers... cannot play any 3d games !!! cannot watch nvidia-settings - please configure xconfig.. im not sure what must i do.. 139.09drivers..6800ultra
[23:11] <reportingsjr> l815, I have that problem too
[23:11] <greasy_leftwing> I',m assuming you installed some updates of some sort, and on reboot, the wifi failed to check yeah?
[23:11] <reportingsjr> Could someone help me set up a second monitor for my computer? I have it hooked up but I can't get it working. =\
[23:11] <fredmv> steve176, samg msg. I got.
[23:11] <soundray> Yggdrasil: I don't think this is possible with unmodified ubuntu installers
[23:11] <etfb> Jack_Sparrow: where does one go to reinstall Flash?  I heard that the latest version breaks Linux
[23:11] <l815> reportingsjr, yeah it happens on pages randomly, i guess they use flash for something
[23:11] <Jack_Sparrow> reportingsjr, People will need to know what video card you are running
[23:11] <oladsadasda> Jack_Sparrow:  can u help me intalling kiba dock on my gutsy?
[23:11] <Lasivian> prince_jammys: modprobe orinoco_cs does load the card, I fail to recall the command to see what modes it's activ in tho
[23:11] <l815> so uninstall flash through add/remove or from firefox?
[23:11] <Azag> hi
[23:11] <Jack_Sparrow> oladsadasda, Sorry, I use cairo-dock.. and osx theme
[23:11] <reportingsjr> Jack_Sparrow, one is a nvidia geforce 7300 gs
[23:11] <soundray> Yggdrasil: any chance you can remove the hard disk drive and install it in another machine?
[23:12] <oladsadasda> how about cairo dock. can i install it on gutsy?
[23:12] <reportingsjr> the other is uhh.. not sure :) bought it from a computer store as surplus a while back.
[23:12] <benanzo> I have a script that I need to be run as root -- but I want a non-root user to be able to run it.  I want to give them permission to run *only* that one script as root
[23:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !dualhead > reportingsjr
[23:12] <benanzo> is this possible?
[23:12] <oladsadasda> do u have any how'to?
[23:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !twinview > reportingsjr
[23:12] <reportingsjr> Looks like my computer gave it voodoo3 drivirs though
[23:12] <reportingsjr> Jack_Sparrow, hehe
[23:12] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[23:12] <Jack_Sparrow> oladsadasda, Yes I have cairo dock on gutsy, I love it/
[23:12] <Azag> I want to syncronize my nokia 6236 with my evolution calendar, this phone hasn bluetooth, can I syncronize it?
[23:13] <l815> does it require compiz Jack_Sparrow?
[23:13] <oladsadasda> can u give an how.to to install it Jack_Sparrow???
[23:13] <Jack_Sparrow> oladsadasda, Let me see if I can find the link
[23:13] <oladsadasda> ok
[23:13] <oladsadasda> thanks
[23:13] <prince_jammys> Lasivian: i am really ignorant when it comes to this, but with all the info you posted, searching the forums is a good bet.  it seems to be kernel-related
[23:13] <Jack_Sparrow> oladsadasda, Install is basically a double click
[23:13] <Baltazaar> how can I make the Gnome network manager "remember" my wireless lan? I need to go to the stored profile and activate after each reboot...
[23:13] <reportingsjr> Jack_Sparrow, I could do multiple monitors with one video card? err, how?
[23:13] <l815> oladsadasda, do you speak portuguese
[23:13] <steve176> fredmv: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff look for cressie176
[23:13] <Lasivian> prince_jammys: found it, iwpriv shows that the orinoco card is not in scanning mode. Which I suspect means it's just loading the old orinoco driver
[23:13] <oladsadasda> l815:  sim
[23:14] <fredmv> steve176, excellent, thanks.
[23:14] <oladsadasda> Jack_Sparrow: double click in what m8?
[23:14] <soundray> benanzo: it's possible in principle. You have to write a specific rule for that user in /etc/sudoers . Can't help with the detail though -- start with man sudoers
[23:14] <steve176> fredmv: still need to find the articles re: manual config and reboot
[23:14] <greasy_leftwing> who?
[23:14] <Jack_Sparrow> oladsadasda, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock
[23:14] <Lasivian> yeah, i've been searching for a few days. I'm kinda hoping something in what I did might be a glaring error.
[23:14] <benanzo> thnx
[23:14] <oladsadasda> thanks Jack!
[23:14] <l815> oladsadasda, ah bom  :)
[23:14] <soundray> benanzo: note: use 'sudo visudo' for editing sudoers in ubuntu.
[23:14] <oladsadasda> deixa tentar instalar isto
[23:14] <Lasivian> no expectations that you guys know everything, thank s :)

[23:29] <bbonora> I am a new to ubuntu, but I was wondering if somebody could direct me to  some information on how to set up LAMP on Ubuntu 7.10 DE.  I was using WAMP on windows
[23:29] <LinuxNIT> thanks
[23:29] <soundray> !lamp | bbonora
[23:29] <ubotu> bbonora: 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+)

[23:30] <No1CaNTeL> and that my home dir should be owned by my user, which it should be
[23:31] <soundray> No1CaNTeL: this can be a symptom of having used graphical programs with sudo
[23:31] <No1CaNTeL> by the sounds of it this is nothing major but I am a complete noob at linux so a hand would be appreciated

[23:33] <purity^> hello
[23:33] <prince_jammys> so what are the current perms:  do ls -l .dmrc
[23:33] <l815> ty_ right click "Add new item"
[23:33] <l815> ty_, then add "window list"
[23:34] <soundray> ty_: right click the upper panel and select New Panel. Install the Window List applet in the new panel.
[23:34] <purity^> if i wan't to remove the kde-desktop but still will be running kde-apps in my gnome-desktop wich package should i remove?
[23:34] <Mighty_Penguin> ty_ right click and add new panel, then add new item and windows list as l815 said
[23:34] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: ls -l .dmrc
[23:34] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: or rather ls -l /home/youruser/.dmrc
[23:35] <soundray> purity^: I wouldn't remove any packages at all. Just select gnome at login.
[23:35] <No1CaNTeL> http://pastebin.ca/928343
[23:35] <No1CaNTeL> as root?? sudo?
[23:35] <ty_> when i click right, it only says create folder/document/ launcher
[23:35] <lakeoftea>  does anyone recommend using cgywin as a tool to learn linux on windows without installing the OS ???
[23:35] <PriceChild> lakeoftea: learn linux by using it...
[23:35] <purity^> soundray: ok, but there is a lot of kde-programs i don't want
[23:35] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: try without sudo
[23:36] <l815> ty_, Right click on the panel
[23:36] <Skapare> in 6.06 LTS I am trying to run update manager ... it refuses to run, saying I can only run one at a time, and to close the other one, then it exits ... the problem was, it was running right before a power failure
[23:36] <soundray> purity^: are you very short on disk space?
[23:36] <No1CaNTeL> -rw------- 1 no1 no1 28 2008-03-04 02:19 .dmrc
[23:36] <purity^> soundray: not really :)
[23:36] <lakeoftea> excellent
[23:36] <No1CaNTeL> taht is the right user
[23:36] <l815> ty_, also it's "Add to panel" not "add new item" as i previously said
[23:36] <Skapare> so how can I tell update manager to clean things up and finish the updates?
[23:36] <mariorz> wgat package do i need to be able to "make" ?
[23:36] <RequinB4> Skapare - make sure you have no instances of synaptic or apt-get running
[23:36] <mariorz> appart from gcc
[23:36] <soundray> lakeoftea: you can learn bash with cygwin, but Linux is more than bash these days
[23:37] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: sudo chmod 644 /home/youruser/.dmrc
[23:37] <Skapare> RequinB4: it rebooted ... nothing else has been run
[23:37] <berlylabs> anyone know how to make yahoo games work on ubuntu?
[23:37] <purity^> maybe i just add a application-group with the kde-apps
[23:37] <soundray> mariorz: all those that the build-essential package depends on
[23:37] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: just following the error message.the current perms are 600, not 644
[23:37] <No1CaNTeL> -rw------- 1 no1 no1 28 2008-03-04 02:19 /home/no1/.dmrc

[23:38] <bastid_raZor> berlylabs; i use vmware to boot windows 2000 ..
[23:38] <SparkyFlary> im thinking of getting a c++ compiler but dont know which oe is best
[23:38] <Skapare> RequinB4: shouldn't it see that no process is running with the PID it was last running with, and just clean up and resume or restart?
[23:38] <bastid_raZor> berlylabs; i actually play quite a bit of games that way
[23:39] <l815> SparkyFlary, Geany is great
[23:39] <berlylabs> is there an easy way to do that? free?
[23:39] <SparkyFlary> whats Geany?
[23:39] <Skapare> RequinB4: or do I need to reboot again
[23:39] <l815> a c++ compiler
[23:39] <RequinB4> Skapare - I can't see how the power failure would matter, but if you are convinced that is the problem (And I hate to sound like a Window$ support staff) try a clean reboot.
[23:39] <SparkyFlary> does it cost money?
[23:39] <Skapare> RequinB4: OK ... I will try another reboot
[23:39] <l815> nope, go to Add/Remove and type in Geany
[23:39] <Starnestommy> g++ is a good cli-based compiler
[23:39] <No1CaNTeL> does this look like it worked??
[23:39] <No1CaNTeL> -rw-r--r-- 1 no1 no1 28 2008-03-04 02:19 /home/no1/.dmrc
[23:39] <bastid_raZor> berlylabs; they have a free player for vmware and you can snag a copy of 2000 somewhere.. just don't register 2000 and you'll be fine.
[23:40] <SpeakerMania> I am trying to uninstall KDE4 stable. I have run sudo aptitude remove kde4-core kdm-kde4 which removed the core an most packages.

[23:40] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: yes. ok let's verify something. do now::  ls -ld /home/no1
[23:40] <l815> SparkyFlarky, you will need to have installed "Build-essentials"
[23:40] <soundray> l815, SparkyFlary: geany isn't a c++ compiler, it's an IDE
[23:40] <Stwange> No1CaNTeL, sudo chown <yourusername> ~/.dmrc
[23:40] <bastid_raZor> SpeakerMania; sudo aptitude remove kde*
[23:40] <l815> soundray you're right
[23:40] <steve176> fredmv: still trying to find the fix for keeping things working after reboot. But in the mean time did you come across this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990
[23:40] <SparkyFlary> o so its like dev c++ ?
[23:40] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: don't do what Stwange said, you already own it
[23:40] <berlylabs> bastid: so add/remove vmware and where could i find windows 2000
[23:41] <Skapare> RequinB4: apparently it sees something as locked and thinks something else has it locked
[23:41] <l815> yeah, although it isn't a compiler itself
[23:41] <steve176> fredmv: I already had the bcm43xx working by the time I found it so never got to try it
[23:41] <No1CaNTeL> drwxrwxrwx 55 no1 no1 4096 2008-03-04 18:26 /home/no1
[23:41] <l815> it uses gc++ or gc i think right?
[23:41] <soundray> SpeakerMania: aptitude search returns available packages (not only installed ones)
[23:41] <mouseboyx> how do you set the max bandwidth that you use on ubuntu?
[23:41] <SparkyFlary> some kind of tect editor?
[23:41] <Starnestommy> l815: g++/gcc?
[23:41] <bastid_raZor> berlylabs; vmware isn't that simple.. you'll have to grab it from vmware site and windows.. find a torrent
[23:41] <bastid_raZor> bbl... gotta run
[23:41] <SpeakerMania> bastid_raZor: Wouldn't that remove all packages with kde at the beginning? I need to remove things like 'yakuake-kde4' and such.
[23:41] <l815> lol .. im totally off today ** G++ & GCC is what i mean
[23:41] <Stwange> I keep lagging out like a beeyatch :S
[23:41] <berlylabs> vmware says it can't install on my computer
[23:41] <SpeakerMania> soundray: Can I search for installed packages?
[23:41] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: ok that's not right.  do sudo chmod 755 /home/no1
[23:41] <SparkyFlary> i hear alot about gcc
[23:42] <SparkyFlary> so umm whats the best one that isnt free?
[23:42] <RequinB4> Skapare - I'm sorry, its late, can you re-state that without so many pronouns :P
[23:42] <No1CaNTeL> lil late :P I did it, didnt realize it was someone else :P
[23:42] <soundray> SpeakerMania: 'dpkg -l k*' or use synaptic
[23:42] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: it should then show as rwxr-xr-x
[23:42] <l815> i don't know any non-free apps on linux yet :/
[23:42] <tehdave> there are non-free apps on linux?
[23:42] <mouseboyx> how do you set the max bandwidth that you use on ubuntu??
[23:42] <l815> that's what I'm saying
[23:42] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: it's ok if you did what the other guy said. it wouldn't change anything since you already owned the file
[23:42] <l815> i haven't found any haha
[23:43]  * tehdave checks the package manager.
[23:43] <SparkyFlary> lol woops i fogot this is linux lol
[23:43] <tehdave> nope...nothing here
[23:43]  * l815 laughs at Sparky's remark
[23:43] <No1CaNTeL> beginning with a d?rwxr?
[23:43] <No1CaNTeL> err drwxr
[23:43] <l815> :p
[23:43] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: your home should be:  drwxr-xr-x
[23:44] <mouseboyx> how do you set the max bandwidth that you use on ubuntu??
[23:44] <Skapare> RequinB4: I'm guessing it (update manager) sees a lock file.  I'm guessing it figures something else is running
[23:44] <No1CaNTeL> I just checked the perm in properties and it says the owner is still root :(
[23:44] <l815> SparkyFlary, let me fix what i said before. Geany is a program that you can write c++, but it uses g++ behind the scenes to compile
[23:44] <RequinB4> Skapare - I'd check the system moniter
[23:45] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: the permissions of what?
[23:45] <ali1235> mouseboyx: i don't think there is an easy way to do it without getting into iptables and firewall stuff, unless someone knows better
[23:45] <No1CaNTeL> will this change after a reboot maybe?
[23:45] <tehdave> speaking of packages, does anyone know if/when wine 0.9.56 is going to be updated to the package manager? or is that on a "someone will get to it" basis?
[23:45] <No1CaNTeL> home
[23:45] <No1CaNTeL> ^ is owned by root
[23:45] <SparkyFlary> is g++ the same as gcc?
[23:45] <Skapare> RequinB4: I rebooted ... same problem
[23:45] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: sudo chown no1:no1 /home/no1
[23:45] <l815> i'm not sure, i've only used gcc with compiling via terminal
[23:45] <rrplay> mouseboyx:  look here for bandwith info http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html
[23:46] <Maimster> How's everyont.
[23:46] <Maimster> or everyone.
[23:46] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: i don't understand why, since you already pasted earlier that the owner was no1
[23:46] <Skapare> RequinB4: I did not run anything else ... what would be doing this? ... a leftover lock file I need to find and remove?
[23:46]  * l815 wants some spicy noodles :/
[23:46] <soundray> tehdave: to run bleeding-edge wine, enable the budgetdedicated repository. The wine factoid will tell you how (private message)
[23:46] <soundray> !wine > tehdave
[23:46] <RequinB4> Skapare - hmm... I'm not sure at this point.  My final suggestion would be to check the system moniter
[23:46] <steve176> fredmv: the alternative to network manager that I tried but couldn't get working with WPA was wicd. You may have more luck
[23:46] <Maimster> Jeez am lagging again.
[23:46] <tehdave> soundray: Thanks
[23:46] <Skapare> RequinB4: check for what?
[23:47] <RequinB4> Skapare - apt-get, synaptic, add/remove
[23:47] <flowOver> why does firefox crash/lockup/freeze my desktop when i view flash?  it just started this behaviour today and i haven't changed anything for days
[23:47] <No1CaNTeL> well, I pasted what it said in the console, when I right-click home >> properties >> perms it says it is owned by root and group is root
[23:47] <l815> flowOver, I have the same problem, the solution i get is to reinstall flash
[23:48] <flowOver> sounds like a microsoft style solution
[23:48] <orudie> is there a way to look up which specific version of ubuntu i have insatalled ? not sure if i installed the 32 or 64 bit
[23:48] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: who are you currently logged in as?
[23:48] <No1CaNTeL> no1
[23:48] <soundray> orudie: uname -a
[23:48] <flowOver> i reject the solution. i  want to know how it happened
[23:48] <l815> flowOver, lol i guess so, but that's what i was told. I haven't tried it yet though
[23:48] <soundray> orudie: should contain either x86_64 or i386
[23:48] <l815> flowOver, and I think there is another flash besides adobe you can install
[23:48] <No1CaNTeL> I am logged in as no1
[23:49] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: ok the /home folder should be owned by root, and the /home/no1 should be owned by no1
[23:49] <Skapare> RequinB4: the only process doing anything is:  system monitor (itself)
[23:49] <No1CaNTeL> and it is, my bad :P
[23:49] <Corky_> hey i got a problem with the soung on KMEss
[23:49] <soundray> prince_jammys: I think the way to deal with this is to boot in recovery mode...
[23:49] <RequinB4> Skapare - Then i'm out of ideas, sorry.  What happens post-bad shutdown isn't really my cup of tea
[23:49] <No1CaNTeL> now will this fix the second half of the error msg?
[23:50] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: try logging back in, and come back if you still get errors
[23:50] <Kumool> hmm my layout doesnt save my configuration
[23:50] <soulburner> "User Switcher" has quit unexpectedly <--- anyone have a fix?
[23:50] <Skapare> RequinB4: OK ... they should add another button on that prompt that means "NO, those other apps are NOT running, so run Update Manager anyway"
[23:50] <Kumool> for my keyboard at least
[23:50] <prince_jammys> soundray: depends on the extent of the mess :) we'll see..
[23:50] <soulburner> everytime i reload it just fails
[23:50] <No1CaNTeL> will do, TY SOOOOO MUCH!!! this is the second time this has happened, last time it was just after an install so I redid the install instead
[23:50] <flowOver> it's 100% reproducable when i visit userful.com and watch the embeded flash
[23:50] <nichos> Hi all, i reinstalled the nvidia driver. I downloaded the latest, all was fine. I rebooted the machine and now i can't startx. I can switch to the nv driver and it works
[23:50] <orudie> soundray: contains i686 is that 32 or 64 ?
[23:50] <nichos> my log is here: http://rafb.net/p/qqFWrg47.html
[23:51] <soundray> orudie: 32
[23:51] <Skapare> RequinB4: I guess I need to re-install, now ... and download 294 updates all over again
[23:51] <orudie> soundray: k thanx
[23:51] <RequinB4> Skapare - or enable multiple instances to run at once (probably take a lot of work)
[23:51] <flowOver> its russian roulette any other time
[23:51] <Corky_> how do i get the sound on KMess working?
[23:51] <ader10> audacity takes forever to load. Help!
[23:51] <Kumool> hi all my keyboard layout configuration doesnt save or is it not supposed to?
[23:51] <rrplay> flowOver : ther are some setings in about config    in    firefox
[23:51] <No1CaNTeL> I am still baffled as to how this happened. my pc was still on from the night before and I was programming until 7am, I went to work, came home, and this happened... Without a reboot
[23:51] <RequinB4> Skapare - You may be able to fix if you wait a bit on here for someone to help, but if you MUST install, be sure to back up your home drive
[23:51] <Skapare> RequinB4: perhaps ... I just need to find the developer and suggest it
[23:51] <Corky_> it wont play the notifications
[23:52] <mee72> is there a opera package for ubuntu?
[23:52] <l815> mee72, yes
[23:52] <No1CaNTeL> sudo
[23:52] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: i have no idea. maybe something went wrong when you changed those permissions that you mentioned earlier
[23:52] <Skapare> RequinB4: I freshly installed this earlier today ... nothing would be lost but the 2 hours it took
[23:52] <soundray> !opera | mee72
[23:52] <ubotu> mee72: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[23:52] <No1CaNTeL> cd player?
[23:52] <kinabalu> hey guys, any of you had luck setting up webdav in ubuntu for windows xp?  i've tried so many of these solutions, and mod_encoding in gutsy is fucked up
[23:52] <No1CaNTeL> is there a way that I can get my user to own it instead of root?
[23:52] <Corky_> !KMess
[23:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kmess - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:52] <j4k3b> nichos: have you tried VGA instead of DVI?
[23:52] <No1CaNTeL> or to maybe have my user with full root perms to avoid these problems?
[23:52] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL: "it" being what?
[23:53] <No1CaNTeL> my bad, the DVD drive
[23:53] <ader10> audacity takes forever to load. Help!
[23:53] <nichos> j4k3b this config file was working before the reboot. i hadn't tried that though
[23:53] <Skapare> RequinB4: but the fact that a power failure can hose the system to the point a re-install is needed does not bode well for who this computer is going to
[23:53] <soundray> No1CaNTeL: normally, all you need to do is add your user to the cdrom group
[23:53] <mee72> thanks all
[23:53] <Skapare> RequinB4: ... e.g. my sister-in-law who I managed to convince to try Linux
[23:53] <soundray> No1CaNTeL: i.e. 'sudo adduser no1 cdrom'
[23:53] <RequinB4> Skapare - I'd still wait.  I think re-install is too drastic, i'm just personally not knowlegable enough
[23:53] <No1CaNTeL> I use v-boxed xp + ubuntu, I have had problems getting the share to work from within v-box but the linux samba works just fine
[23:53] <Skapare> RequinB4: OK
[23:54] <No1CaNTeL> so I can do that for almost anything eh?? SWEET :D
[23:54] <tehdave> No1CanteL: what kind of resources does a vboxed XP take? wonder if I can do that on my rig
[23:54] <j4k3b> nichos: what happens when you start X?
[23:54] <ader10> audacity takes forever to load. In addition, I get the following error when trying to play back: Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate. Help!
[23:54] <Skapare> RequinB4: maybe I should download/burn a 7.10 CD instead of using the 6.06 LTS I have now
[23:54] <No1CaNTeL> i really need to learn the command line better, I feel so virginized atm :P
[23:54] <Skapare> RequinB4: presumably there would be fewer updates
[23:54] <steve176> fredmv: this article explains the restart problem, but it's not what I used to fix it
[23:54] <steve176> fredmv: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/50099
[23:54] <brambo> hello
[23:54] <soundray> !cli > No1CaNTeL, please see the private message
[23:55] <No1CaNTeL> tehdave: well, you pretty much set the resources yourself before you setup an xp install
[23:55] <nichos> j4k3b monitor 2 wakes up from sleep, goes back to sleep, and monitor 1 sits there with a flash dot at the top left. I have to hit alt F1 to get back to my terminal that i launched startx from
[23:55] <prince_jammys> No1CaNTeL:  mess with permissions with exteme care. they work very well, so you successfully lock yourself out the way it just happened
[23:55] <brambo> anyone know why my XMMS thinks my sound is in use but at that same moment I can open a mp3 with VLC and it works fine?
[23:55] <steve176> fredmv: here's the fix for the reboot problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3679330
[23:55] <No1CaNTeL> ty for that soudray
[23:55] <nichos> j4k3b the nvidia module is loaded, is there something else that needs to be done?
[23:55] <soundray> Skapare: can you describe your problem again for me pls
[23:55] <mouseboyx> Did nothing, how do you set total outgoing bandwidth allowed ?????
[23:55] <j4k3b> nichos: I have the same monitor (1905FP) and have had problems with display drivers picking modes that the monitor doesn't support
[23:55] <nichos> j4k3b this all was working before a rebooted :/
[23:56] <j4k3b> nichos: especially with DVI
[23:56] <nichos> j4k3b im sure if i ran the nvidia installer again it would be fine
[23:56] <j4k3b> try it
[23:56] <icesword> hello
[23:56] <icesword> good morning
[23:56] <nichos> j4k3b i think I will :)
[23:56] <tehdave> No1CanTel: I mean, does it take up as much, resource-wise, as running XP non-virtual? (As far as RAM usage, etc.)
[23:56] <nichos> bbl, maybe:)
[23:56] <j4k3b> if it doesn't work try setting a different video mode
[23:56] <ader10> audacity takes forever to load. In addition, I get the following error when trying to play back: Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate. Help!
[23:56] <No1CaNTeL> lol, will do. normally I know my around perms well but I shouldnt jump the gun too much when on a different os
[23:56] <j4k3b> I gave up trying to use that monitor with Xorg and the nvidia driver
[23:56] <Skapare> soundray: I installed 6.06 LTS, then installed a few more packages online, then ran update manager, it finished the download and was doing installs ... then POWER FAILURE ... now update manager won't run
[23:57] <orudie> is there a way to change the resolution of the loading ubuntu logo on startup, my monitor does not support the default input
[23:57] <tehdave> orudie: lol I get the same message, I just ignore it XD
[23:57] <No1CaNTeL> tehdave: you set how much ram to designate to the virtual machine, as well as how much HDD space
[23:57] <soundray> Skapare: it boots okay though?
[23:57] <Skapare> soundray: well it runs to a point ... it puts up a window that says only one app can run and then it exits
[23:57] <Skapare> soundray: yes, boots up fine as far as I can see
[23:57] <ryanakca> how can you set the X keyboard map from the CLI? I have my symbols / layout in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
[23:57] <soundray> Skapare: can you boot in recovery mode? (Boot menu option)
[23:57] <Skapare> soundray: I'm guessing a lock file
[23:58] <orudie> tehdave: which monitor do you have ? i'll be damned if we have identical
[23:58] <Skapare> soundray: sure ... afk a few mins to do that
[23:58] <tehdave> No1CaNTeL: ahh, I see...probably wouldn't run too well on my rig...have a full XP install on a (rarely used) HD
[23:58] <winterwolf> Im trying to use my registered IRC nick but it keeps telling me its the wrong password!
[23:58]  * j4k3b changes nick to something not leetspeek
[23:58] <tehdave> orudie: Envision something or other...not quite sure
[23:58] <orudie> tehdave: i got envision too
[23:58] <LjL> winterwolf: then most likely it is :) ask on #freenode
[23:58] <tehdave> orudie: en5600?
[23:58] <SparkyFlary> ok ive seen people talk about this being the best compiler...
[23:58] <Starnestommy> winterwolf: are you typing it in the right case? Also, have you tried with and without the < and >?
[23:58] <SparkyFlary> http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/277618.htm
[23:59] <mouseboyx> Is there any possible way to limit the outgoing bandwidth at least on apache2???
[23:59] <snypzz_> any good screencasts other than the basics
[23:59] <ader10> audacity takes forever to load. In addition, I get the following error when trying to play back: Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate. Help!
[23:59] <orudie> tehdave: en-5200e its an lcd, very old
[23:59] <soundray> Skapare: the thing to do is to get a command line, some way. Recovery mode is fairly reliable. Then you run 'apt-get -f install' and 'dpkg --configure -a' as needed, possibly several times until everything falls into place. Use sudo if it's not a root shell.
[23:59] <orudie> tehdave: i think its 15"
