[00:00] <linkmaster03> soundray: how do I exit them?
[00:00] <soundray> arakthor: did the reinstall process show any errors?
[00:00] <arakthor> soundray, nope :o
[00:00] <arakthor> I'm thinking a .tgz from the gimp project will have the files, but I'm not sure if they are all stored in the same place
[00:01] <fortune82> can anyone even see this text? or do i have to register?
[00:01] <soundray> linkmaster03: you end the programs that screen runs. If they are e.g. shells, you type 'exit'
[00:01] <mythril> I upgraded my kernel and sound stopped working (ubuntu 7.10) what do I do?
[00:01] <fortune82> NickServe
[00:01] <fortune82> NickServ
[00:01] <linkmaster03> soundray: i typed screen -wipe and all my sessions are still there when I type screen -ls
[00:01] <fortune82> NickServ fortune82
[00:02] <mythril> fortune82: we can see you
[00:02] <Odd-rationale> !register | fortune82
[00:02] <soundray> arakthor: gimp-data is the package that populates /usr/share/gimp
[00:02] <fortune82> I'm so confused right now

[00:02] <chrome> hey guys, anyone here running Ubuntu on a mac pro?
[00:02]  * BABA_RECORD hey all
[00:02] <Flannel> fortune82: /msg nickserv help
[00:02] <soundray> linkmaster03: screen -wipe only removes traces of screen processes that don't have any running subprocesses any more.
[00:03] <andycas> How to locate a file in a specific dir?
[00:03] <Daviey> fortune82: you only need to register/identify to send private messages (although it is recommended anyway)
[00:03] <soundray> andycas: can you elaborate?
[00:03] <linkmaster03> soundray: well how can I totally delete these old sessions?
[00:03] <arakthor> soundray, k thx
[00:03] <BABA_RECORD> need to know what mssng did i need to use , because i cant open the webcam
[00:03] <Odd-rationale> andycas: one way: "ls /dir | grep filename"
[00:03] <soundray> linkmaster03: by attaching them and exiting the programs that run inside them
[00:03] <jengelh2> Odd-rationale: don't use |grep
[00:03] <andycas> soundray: I want to search for a .config in one specific dir
[00:03] <jengelh2> at least, not in scripts
[00:04] <soundray> andycas: find /specific/dir -name .config
[00:04] <arakthor> soundray, it was already installed as well
[00:04] <Alan_M> fortune82, what are you trying to do buddy? We can help you if we know what your trying to attempt :)
[00:04] <Odd-rationale> jengelh2: i meant just for shell command... what is wrong with piping through grep? Just curious....
[00:04] <soundray> arakthor: so do a reinstall
[00:04]  * BABA_RECORD help i need to know what meesenger had to use to open the webcam
[00:04] <BABA_RECORD> oo
[00:04] <arakthor> yeh, working on it
[00:04] <fortune82> Ala_M, i said it about 4 times
[00:05] <jengelh2> Odd-rationale: it's only important for scripts;  http://jengelh.medozas.de/articles/recurring-errors-sh.php

[00:06] <Shadow_Ice> anyone tell me what my problem is. i start to install Ubuntu and after a while it tells me its creating image and then everytime it gets close to 100% done it says "cant access cd please make sure nothing else is using the current drive" and then starts over.
[00:06] <pucko-> mythril, do asoundconf list, and then asoundconf set-default-card <insert card from earlier>

[00:07] <fortune82> boots up into the Command screen instead of the GUI -- How to fix it?
[00:08] <chrome> guys I can't use TAB in grub while booted from the liveCD in a gnome-terminal, any suggestions?
[00:08] <pucko-> fortune82, you could try reconfigure X
[00:08] <fortune82> i'll try that
[00:08] <fortune82> thanks for at least answering me
[00:08] <hennessy> Why cant I see the users in the channel?
[00:09] <pucko-> fortune82, not much to go on in your question.. try "startx" from console and get back to us with the error message.
[00:11] <pucko-> chrome, you can't use what?
[00:11] <BABA_RECORD> pucko
[00:11] <chrome> pucko-: tab key
[00:11] <BABA_RECORD> what messenger do you use
[00:11] <chrome> pucko-: its just inserting tab characters in grub :P
[00:11] <jengelh2> irssi.
[00:12] <pucko-> chrome, you mean it works in xterm? not sure I understand
[00:12] <chrome> pucko-: you know in grub, you can use tab to do completions?
[00:12] <chrome> pucko-: if I use it, instead of giving completions, it just tabs over
[00:13] <soundray> chrome: only when you've booted with grub.
[00:13] <pucko-> oh I see, didn't know that
[00:13] <soundray> chrome: it doesn't work when you start the grub shell from within a running OS
[00:13] <chrome> ok, great
[00:13] <BABA_RECORD> chrome what messenger are you using
[00:13] <chrome> well that explains that.
[00:13] <yoshimit> Hi all... I'm trying to install nvidia driver on Ubuntu 8.04 64bits, but after install without errors I cant change screen resolution... any help, plz?
[00:13] <soundray> chrome: I guess it makes sense, since grub can't read a filesystem directly in this mode
[00:14] <teth> I would like to get some help with my laptop memorycardreader problem, how can I get it work with hardy heron?
[00:14] <chrome> soundray: sort of. It does tell you that you can use the tab key when you start it in a term window, so one expects you can
[00:14] <chrome> breaks the principle of least surprise
[00:14] <soundray> yoshimit: try setting up your screen properties with gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[00:14] <yoshimit> soundray: trying...
[00:14] <soundray> chrome: you've found a bug then.
[00:15] <sFEARs> i can't seem to find the sound setting to enable/disable IEC958.  can anyone help me?
[00:15] <yooshi> does ubuntu-gnome come with wine already packaged?
[00:15] <chrome> well. maybe. I did thnk it was something to do with the fact i'm using a mac pro keyboard
[00:15] <Odd-rationale> yooshi: no
[00:15] <konrad1991> hello
[00:15] <soundray> yooshi: packaged yes, installed, no
[00:15] <yooshi> ah, well how do I install it?
[00:15] <Odd-rationale> yooshi: sudo apt-get install wine
[00:15] <yooshi> if its packaged then I shouldn't need to download it right?
[00:15] <MrKeuner> hi all is ubuntu using more energy than windows? I read 4400 batteries should give 3-4 hours while mine gives 1.5 hour at most. Or is my battery crippled?
[00:16]  * BABA_RECORD i need help with Pidgin Internet Messenger : that dont support webcam service plz help me 
[00:16] <Odd-rationale> yooshi: or use synaptics
[00:16] <yooshi> ah ok
[00:16] <yooshi> btw pidgin is great, but it doesn't have some automatic features
[00:16] <tommy_> if I only install new things using "apt-get" can I be confident that they are clean applications being installed?
[00:16] <konrad1991> i have broken DVD drive, but i need to install Ubuntu, can i use pendrive to install Ubuntu to hard disk?
[00:16] <Odd-rationale> yooshi: consider xchat
[00:17] <yooshi> ewww
[00:17] <yoshimit> soundray: hmmm... I tried that before... every resolution that I try gives me an invalid configuration msg error...
[00:17] <Odd-rationale> konrad1991: yes. see "/msg ubottu install" for detials.
[00:17]  * yooshi got frostwire and it doesn't work
[00:17] <yooshi> yet... I think terminal would show some errors
[00:17] <soundray> MrKeuner: Ubuntu may use more energy than Windows because it tends to wake up the CPU from power saving states more frequently. You can trace such behaviour with powertop
[00:17] <konrad1991> Odd-rationale: thanks....
[00:18] <tommy_> !keepass
[00:18]  * BABA_RECORD i need help with Pidgin Internet Messenger : that dont support webcam service : tell me what msn did i need to use to use webcam services
[00:18] <tommy_> Flannel, you here?
[00:18] <MrKeuner> soundray: can i prevent it from doing so when on battery power?
[00:18] <soundray> MrKeuner: try powertop
[00:19] <yooshi> !frostwire
[00:19] <soundray> !info powertop | MrKeuner
[00:19] <chrome> meh dont know how i'm going to get grub to start on boot. The mac is starting windows when I select the linux boot menu in reFIT
[00:19] <MrKeuner> soundray: installed already, checking it now thanks
[00:21] <yooshi> hmm I need to update my java and this command could not be found: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
[00:21] <tommy_> who said keepass is in the Ubuntu repos?
[00:21] <yooshi> need to update it so I can run frostwire
[00:21] <soundray> yooshi: you mangled that command
[00:22] <yooshi> eh I just copy/pasted
[00:22] <tommy_> how can I search the repos for a program?
[00:22] <soundray> yooshi: then someone else mangled that command ;)
[00:22] <soundray> tommy_: apt-cache search program
[00:22] <jrib> tommy_: system -> adiministration -> synaptic
[00:22] <yooshi> :( how is it supposed to go?
[00:22] <tommy_> ok cheers
[00:22] <soundray> yooshi: 'sudo update-alternatives --config java'
[00:23] <soundray> yooshi: then it's interactive
[00:23] <yooshi> how do u mean interactive?
[00:23] <soundray> yooshi: you'll see
[00:23] <yooshi> ty for the command much appreciated
[00:23] <yooshi> cool
[00:23] <yooshi> this is the funnest OS I've worked on.... no drivers to install literally
[00:23] <andycas> Where can i get 2.6.25.x kernel-headers?
[00:24] <MrKeuner> soundray: I clicked A R and W will those be permanent or do I have to do it everytime i need low energy consumption?
[00:24] <amrik> andycas: did you custom build your kernel? did you remember to make-kpkg with kernel_headers?
[00:24] <yooshi> soundray: I ran that command, it said no alternatives for java
[00:24] <amrik> andycas: http://howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu for more info
[00:24] <soundray> tommy_: keepass is for windows, no?
[00:24] <yooshi> soundray:  I'm trying to get frostwire to work, it won't start
[00:24] <andycas> amrik: yes i custom built it, but i dont know about make-kpkg
[00:24] <soundray> yooshi: then you haven't installed any java yet
[00:24] <soundray> !java | yooshi
[00:24] <MagicMoonLight> **Cough Cough**
[00:25] <anolis> how do i make a program use a specific sound device?
[00:25] <hoarycripple> clear
[00:25] <hoarycripple> oops
[00:25] <tommy_> soundray, I found it.  sudo apt-get install keepassx
[00:25] <Hasone2> hey. I've got a weird bug. about a week ago, the sound in vlc, totem, etc. simply stopped working.
[00:25] <yooshi> isn't linux java already sorta?
[00:25] <amrik> andycas: ok take a look at the link I sent you. it's the preferred way of building kernels on debian/ubuntu systems since they create .deb packages that are easy to install and manage. Note that you do not need to unlink /bin/sh from dash to bash; it works fine
[00:25] <darek> Dsiemasz
[00:25] <tommy_> soundray, yes its windows but Ubuntu has it also in the repos
[00:25] <Hasone2> has this happened to anyone else?
[00:25] <tommy_> soundray, and my keepass windows database works with Ubuntu keepassx too :)
[00:25] <tommy_> soundray, you using it too?
[00:25] <soundray> MrKeuner: I don't know, I haven't tried it myself yet
[00:26] <andycas> amrik: thanks, ill look at it
[00:26] <soundray> tommy_: no
[00:26] <tommy_> soundray, ok :P
[00:26] <Hasone2> can anyone help me?
[00:26] <vipester> Well, I can connect to WEP/unsecured, so my WPA problem is definitely a config issue...
[00:26] <soundray> yooshi: absolutely not
[00:26] <amrik> Hasone2: is your sound card still being detected?
[00:26] <amrik> !sound | Hasone2
[00:27] <Hasone2> alright.
[00:27] <soundray> yooshi: try saying that in ##linux, you'll get kicked ;)
[00:27] <Herissy> lol
[00:27] <anolis> how do i make a program use a specific sound device?
[00:28] <andycas> amrik: can i just do make-kpkg kernel_headers now? or do i need to recompile the whole kernel?
[00:28] <Hasone2> I switched to a different sound thing and it just worked.
[00:28] <anonlol> hi
[00:29] <amrik> hmm you can try `
[00:29] <amrik> fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers `
[00:29] <amrik> andycas: take out the kernel_image if you dont want to build an image
[00:29] <yooshi> will java work in 64bit?
[00:29] <MistyMay> Holy hell. 1244 people and like barley anyone is talking. =[
[00:29] <m3th0d> hey people
[00:30] <soundray> yooshi: yes (only the firefox plugin can cause headaches)
[00:30] <MistyMay> Heyya m3th0d
[00:30] <yooshi> MistyMay: plenty have talked earlier
[00:30] <MistyMay> =]
[00:30] <MistyMay> How are you?
[00:30] <m3th0d> i kno da rooms quit
[00:30] <yooshi> soundray: ah ok
[00:30] <MistyMay> haha but stillll yooshi! XD
[00:30] <m3th0d> quiet*
[00:30] <m3th0d> anyhow
[00:30] <soundray> MistyMay: this is not a chat channel -- please use #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:30] <MistyMay> On my other chat site... there are like 80 people and the room is crazy talkitive.
[00:30] <MistyMay> XD
[00:30] <yooshi> hmm hey nick highlight seems to work...
[00:30] <MistyMay> Ohhh
[00:30] <yooshi> indeed it does
[00:30] <yooshi> cool
[00:31] <m3th0d> i just tried to go in #remote-exploit room but it says im banned how is that ?
[00:31] <yooshi> sorry I'm in love with all this
[00:31] <amrik> m3th0d: oh, the irony
[00:31] <hiptobecubic> i notice that when my cache fills up a lot of my programs, even the stable ones like pidgin start crashing. how can i clear the cache?
[00:31] <MagicMoonLight> Whats Wrong When Ctrl Alt F1 Don't Work Only Flashing Cursor
[00:31] <soundray> !ot | MistyMay
[00:31] <yooshi> soundray: add/remove is saying that sun java is unsupported
[00:32] <m3th0d> i just tried to go in #remote-exploit room but it says im banned how can i be band?
[00:32] <MagicMoonLight> Whats Wrong When Ctrl Alt F1 Don't Work Only Flashing Cursor
[00:32] <legend2440> hiptobecubic: sudo apt-get clean
[00:32] <soundray> yooshi: that's because the version in the repos is still partly proprietary. It will work nevertheless.
[00:32] <spideyman> MagicMoonLight,  then its working
[00:33] <m3th0d> i just tried to go in #remote-exploit room but it says im banned how can i be band? witout even joining ?
[00:33] <MagicMoonLight> Ok Then why cant I see text to log in the terminal session
[00:33] <MagicMoonLight> If you have any ideals what is wrong
[00:33] <hiptobecubic> legend2440, that didn't do what i was expecting. i'm using system monitor and i can still see that the cache is full
[00:34] <yooshi> alright... I trust you :D is there a difference using .jre or .bin?
[00:34] <spideyman> MagicMoonLight, did you try logging in user first then password
[00:34] <alesan> hi
[00:34] <alesan> how do I add a directory containing a number of fonts to a permanent X configuration?
[00:34] <soundray> MagicMoonLight: same result when you hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 and the other F keys?
[00:34] <yooshi> I suppose not
[00:35] <renatoslip> olá!
[00:35] <MagicMoonLight> I did but I still saw nothing just a flashing cursor on a black screen
[00:35] <soundray> yooshi: are you in Add/Remove still?
[00:35] <anolis> how do i make a program use a specific sound device?
[00:35] <MagicMoonLight> When I ctrl alt del it did reboot
[00:35] <yooshi> soundray:  no I went to synaptics to make sure I wasn't getting silly stuff
[00:36] <yooshi> well... I went there cuz I wasn't sure
[00:36] <krono2k5> is there a good howtoo guide to setup samba and ldap
[00:36] <spideyman> MagicMoonLight, thats odd try restarting x then try again
[00:36] <krono2k5> in ubuntu
[00:36] <yooshi> but synaptics seems to be better for it all
[00:36] <krono2k5> im using version 8
[00:36] <soundray> yooshi: get the JRE unless you're planning to develop Java programs yourself
[00:36] <MagicMoonLight> Yes same thing its like its not sending test to the montor when in that low level mode
[00:36] <MagicMoonLight> text
[00:36] <legend2440> hiptobecubic: that command cleared out the   /var/cache/apt/archives. where does system monitor mention cache?
[00:36] <whileimhere> I was wondering about something. When I have GNOME installed I have no issues with connecting to the wireless network in my house. When I went with Kubuntu I had issues. Does GNOME use a different app to connect to wireless networks and would it effect my ability to connect at home?
[00:36] <spideyman> MagicMoonLight, ctrl alt esc
[00:36] <wers> the free space in my root partition is 0B. what's the best thing to do? hehe
[00:36] <yooshi> ah ok well there are two of the same they just either are .bin or .jre so was not sure if there was a difference
[00:36] <MagicMoonLight> not tried that what does that one do
[00:37] <soundray> wers: 'apt-get autoclean' as a first step
[00:37] <spideyman> MagicMoonLight, restarts your desktop environment
[00:37] <wishbone> whats the best CD-bootable program for testing hardrives?
[00:37] <MagicMoonLight> O ok kool I was alweays wondering how to do that
[00:37] <hiptobecubic> legend2440, if you use the desklet in the gnome bar you can display memory usage. tooltip says memort: 16% by programs 72% by cache
[00:37] <soundray> wers:  then run 'du -x / | sort -n' to find out what's taking up space. Removing old kernel packages is a good idea.
[00:37] <wishbone> my laptop shutdown unexpectedly and it wont boot now, i need a CD to repair the drive
[00:37] <yooshi> I have a small app that requires .net framework 1.1 and I installed wine is it possible to run this app and somehow get .net framework to work as well?
[00:38] <soundray> yooshi: is your Java program working now?
[00:38] <spideyman> MagicMoonLight, sry crtl alt backspace
[00:38] <amrik> how can I tell if I have enough power to run an 8800GTS?
[00:38] <Speckal> hi all.  which is the suggested dvd burning app for ubuntu?
[00:38] <MagicMoonLight> I try that but Iit seems I lost my computers ability to show boot up text or low level text ever since I installed startup manager
[00:38] <amrik> do the nvidia binary drivers tell me if it runs out of power? or does an LED come on?
[00:38] <yooshi> soundray:  not yet I'm downloading java
[00:38] <wers> soundray, what does autoclean do? remove my apt archives?
[00:38] <MagicMoonLight> O yes I iknow of ctrl alt backspace well
[00:39] <Rulz> i have a problem
[00:39] <yooshi> holly crap
[00:39] <soundray> wers: only those of outdated versions
[00:39] <Rulz> i need help!
[00:39] <yooshi> to download java I'm doing only 900kb/s
[00:39] <soundray> yooshi: please behave professionally in here
[00:39] <Rulz> i'm using ubuntu os, my problem is online television
[00:39] <MagicMoonLight> when in low level mode like ctrl alt F1 what the command to load up natlis gnome desktop agian
[00:39] <yooshi> for 30MB
[00:39] <Rulz> i don't watchin the media
[00:40] <soundray> !enter | Rulz
[00:40] <vipester> anybody know of any faqs/wikis to configure wpa in hardy heron?
[00:40] <HappyHater> MagicMoonLight, startx?
[00:40] <Rulz> okay
[00:40] <Speckal> which is the suggested dvd burning app for ubuntu?
[00:40] <soundray> MagicMoonLight: 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart'
[00:40] <MagicMoonLight> yes if stuck in Ctrl alt F1 how do get back to desktop
[00:40] <Mo0oSaH> What is the shortcut to get back to X after ctrl+ALT+F2
[00:40] <Zanth_88> speckal: GNOME or KDE?
[00:40] <Speckal> Zanth_88:  gnome
[00:40] <soundray> MagicMoonLight: or Ctrl-Alt-F7 if it's still running
[00:40] <yooshi> soundray: unprofessional? :P jeeze its downloading like a snobby snail
[00:40] <soundray> Mo0oSaH: ^^
[00:40] <Zanth_88> Speckal: you could try GnomeBaker
[00:40] <DIL> !brasero
[00:41]  * BABA_RECORD i need help with Pidgin Internet Messenger : that dont support webcam service : tell me what msn did i need to use to use webcam services
[00:41] <Mo0oSaH> soundray: thanks!
[00:41] <Zanth_88> but there is also Nero Linux.
[00:41] <Rulz> I don't watchin online media systems, mms url's i'm using the vlc player
[00:41] <Speckal> Zanth_88:  ty :)
[00:41] <Zanth_88> you can download it in a deb package from their site but you'l need a serial.
[00:41] <MagicMoonLight> O ok so in in X-terminal full mode login then Ctrl alt F7 will bring me back to desktop mode
[00:41] <Zanth_88> you're welcome. good luck.
[00:41] <soundray> MagicMoonLight: no
[00:42] <soundray> MagicMoonLight: when you hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, you're out of X entirely. It's called the virtual console.
[00:42] <MagicMoonLight> sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart? that make more sense
[00:42] <RSGCooke> If I wanted to put Ubuntu onto a new laptop, are there any considerations I should make?
[00:42] <Rulz> ?
[00:42] <soundray> MagicMoonLight: Ctrl-Alt-F7 will take you back if X is still running on the virtual console number 7
[00:43] <hiptobecubic> RSGCooke, make sure your hardware is compatible
[00:43] <mvinsc> does anyone know why firefox would not have a window?
[00:43] <MagicMoonLight> thats where my machine having the problem in virtual consul I have no text just blinking cursor but it still acts like it works or take commands just the computer is not displaying text
[00:43] <yooshi> 900kb/s!
[00:43] <yooshi> jeeze I'll be here all day
[00:43] <yooshi> can't I get it from an alternate location?
[00:43] <yooshi> hmm you all went quiet (
[00:43] <soundray> RSGCooke: it's pretty much like any other computer nowadays. Do have a look at tuxmobil.org to see if others have reported their experience putting Linux on your specific model or similar ones.
[00:44] <wers> soundray, autocleane did not free some space according to my file manager though i saw that it deleted some files
[00:44] <DIL> RSGCooke: you can dual boot
[00:44] <MagicMoonLight> Its a Very Steange Proplem
[00:44] <RSGCooke> I'd prefer to run any MS OS in a VM
[00:45] <tommy_> whats difference between Beryl and compiz fusion?
[00:45] <samgranieri> even millenium?
[00:45] <soundray> wers: you've run into the reserve. Ubuntu will show 100% as long as your disk usage is above (real) 95%.
[00:45] <spideyman> tommy_,  they are the same now
[00:45] <Peddy> is anyone here using OpenDNS?
[00:45] <yowshi> whats NASM and where can i get it?
[00:45] <MagicMoonLight> thats where my machine having the problem in virtual consul I have no text just blinking cursor but it still acts like it works or take commands just the computer is not displaying text
[00:45] <soundray> wers: have you got lots of old kernels?
[00:45] <DIL> RSGCooke: fyi the vm site has "pre-made" vm worlds
[00:45] <tommy_> spideyman, so I install compiz fusion?
[00:45] <wers> soundray, niice. I have those old kernels. how do I delete 'em? :D
[00:46] <soundray> !info nasm | yowshi
[00:46] <tommy_> spideyman, so beryl is now called compiz-fusion?
[00:46] <soundray> wers: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.24-16' (as an example)
[00:46] <pabl0_> yes tommy_
[00:46] <spideyman> tommy_,  compiz and beryl have joined forces so yes
[00:46] <yowshi> ubottu: i havent upgraded to hardy yet. has most of the kinks been worked out of it?
[00:46] <yowshi> oh
[00:46] <tommy_> how do I install compiz-fusion?
[00:46] <soundray> wers: when you're done, run 'sudo apt-get autoremove' as well
[00:47] <samgranieri> apt-g
[00:47] <MagicMoonLight> Thanks people for the help I can live with my computer not displaying text when in virtual consul I was just wondering if anyone had any ideals
[00:47] <mvinsc> ok... so my web browser is open but with no window...
[00:47] <soundray> tommy_: which version of Ubuntu?
[00:47] <tommy_> soundray, Hardy 8.04
[00:47] <wers> soundray, is there a code that will show me the installed kernels?
[00:47] <soundray> tommy_: System-Preferences-Appearance-Desktop Effects
[00:47] <hiptobecubic> yowshi, i find hardy to be stable and functional, but check the forums for your computer model to see if there are hardware issues
[00:47] <soundray> wers: dpkg -l linux-image-2*
[00:48] <soundray> wers: the -l is for list
[00:48] <tommy_> I got my dad onto Ubuntu lol. it was hard work but his using it finally and loving it.  he just needs to get his printer working and digital camera
[00:48] <inbitado34> i insstalled the intel modem 537 by .deb pakage but now i can not open the synaptic pagage it say to run dpkg --configure -a then it runs but stpos loading the driver and doesnt go on
[00:48] <tommy_> soundray, I dont see it in Appearance-Desktop Effects?
[00:48] <yowshi> GAAAh POS cant install zsnes on an x64
[00:48] <yowshi> 64 bit system
[00:49] <wers> soundray, coooool :)
[00:49] <mvinsc> ok... thanks
[00:49] <c0mp13371331337> Hmmm.... here's an odd one.  When I select Doom 3 from my menu, I have no sound.  When I run it from the terminal (just by typing 'doom3') I have sound.  I checked the properties for my Doom 3 menu entry, all it does is execute 'doom3' with no additional parameters.  What gives?
[00:49] <soundray> tommy_: the last tab, it may be called Visual Effects
[00:49] <tommy_> c0mp13371331337, just keep using terminal :)
[00:50] <yowshi> anyone here have any experience with zsnes on a 64bit system?
[00:50] <c0mp13371331337> tommy_: LOL Thanks. ;-)
[00:50] <Cannibal-X> hello there
[00:50] <tommy_> soundray, i chose "extra" in visual effects, nothing happened
[00:50] <spideyman> yowshi, why whats wrong?
[00:51] <soundray> tommy_: did it stay selected?
[00:51] <tommy_> soundray, yes
[00:51] <Cannibal-X> i have an external hdd-drive and i dunno how to use it at ubuntu
[00:51] <yowshi> i would rather use zsnes instead os snes9x but i cant get it to install on my 64bit system even from source
[00:51] <spideyman> yowshi, paste your output please
[00:51] <soundray> tommy_: do your windows wobble when you move them?
[00:51] <tommy_> soundray, its selected and stayed selected!  now whats supposed to happen? ;ol
[00:52] <tommy_> soundray, ah yeah they do LOL freaky lol
[00:52] <Guest55142> hi can someone please give me a hand. I just installed the new ubuntu 8.04 and I cannot get wireless internet to work. I have it hooked to the router now via ethernet. my laptop has an atheros wi fi card, and the system says that proprietary drivers are installed for it.

[00:54] <yowshi> spideyman: i figure it is a 64bit incompatability since i cant install zsnes from the repo
[00:54] <spideyman> yowshi, you should have used pastebin but yeah your right
[00:54] <soundray> Rael420: look at the output of 'dmesg' in terminal. Is there any error relating to the atheros card?
[00:54] <doubled> hi, i was wondering if there is a recommended player for bluray movies ( in .mkv format ) i've tried playing it in MPlayer, some movies play smooth, others dont for some reason
[00:54] <soundray> !repeat | doubled
[00:55] <yowshi> grrr double wammied with incompatability problems today
[00:55] <prototype> Guys, is there anyway to retract from the current kernel and install 2.6.24.17 instead?  I really need this kernel version.
[00:55] <yowshi> i hate days like this
[00:55] <jmazaredo> can anyone tell me how to check email tls other that telneting port 25
[00:55] <prototype> In Hardy Hereon
[00:55] <Rael420> wow I'm not sure what i'm looking for in there
[00:55] <Rael420> should I use pastebin or something
[00:56] <spideyman> yowshi, 3 times is a charm!
[00:56] <amt2> i want to learn perl or python, which one do people like more and why ?
[00:56] <jrib> amt2: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy.  Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic?
[00:56] <soundray> prototype: do a 'grep 2.6.24-17 /boot/grub/menu.lst' to see if it's still accessible from your boot menu
[00:56] <soundray> Rael420: paste.ubuntu.com
[00:57] <yowshi> spideyman: :(
[00:57] <Rael420> ok
[00:57] <yowshi> i cant get sound working in the snes9express from the repo
[00:57] <yowshi> nor can i get full screen
[00:57] <spideyman> yowshi, y not just use the other one
[00:57] <yowshi> so hows that for three times
[00:57] <prototype> soundray: you mean from grub?
[00:57] <pur-angst> ??
[00:57] <soundray> prototype: yes
[00:57] <yowshi> spideyman: see above posts
[00:58] <yowshi> spideyman: also i cant configure the control pads
[00:58] <spideyman> yowshi, yeah you read my mind
[00:58] <Rael420> http://paste.ubuntu.com/21697/
[00:58] <prototype> I installed the latest Hardy, which comes with 2.6.24.16, and automatically updates to 2.6.24.19, so I doubt that the grub menu has it..., any other suggestions before I check guys?
[00:58] <spideyman> yowshi, i have found persistance pays off
[00:59] <Dug_Fin> hi, is there anyone out there who could give me some help with an upgrade problem i'm having?
[00:59] <soundray> Rael420: look at line 325
[00:59] <Peddy> can someone please help me with setting wireless speed? Thanks
[00:59] <yowshi> spideyman: thanks but you realize thats of no real help when there is no help page for the thing. the configs are probably all done in a text based config file and i hate sifting through those things
[00:59] <Rael420> unable to attach
[00:59] <jrib> Dug_Fin: best to just ask the channel your question
[01:00] <Rael420> uh oh
[01:00] <soundray> prototype: you can get linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic from packages.ubuntu.com and install it with 'sudo dpkg -i linux-image...'
[01:00] <soundray> prototype: you may need other packages as well
[01:00] <spideyman> yowshi, well you could be be using winblows whats worse?
[01:00] <Rael420> what should I do
[01:01] <soundray> Rael420: it can be fixed probably
[01:01] <soundray> Rael420: give me a minute
[01:01] <yowshi> spideyman: thats true but one of my incompatabiltiy problrems was cause someone didnt write a linux version for something only winblows and mac
[01:01] <spideyman> yowshi, I have seen many problems with the 64 bit install
[01:01] <WRXChad1> ﻿/MSG NickServ VERIFY REGISTER WRXChad1 mctqmtzrgxhs
[01:01] <Rael420> alrighty
[01:01] <yowshi> spideyman: i havent seen many prioblems with the install itself. just a lack of willingness of programmers to programme for jt
[01:02] <Dug_Fin> upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and now all i get is a blue screen and a cursor, on bars or icons or menues
[01:02] <spideyman> yowshi, linux version of what/
[01:02]  * BABA_RECORD i need help with Pidgin Internet Messenger : that dont support webcam service : tell me what msn did i need to use to use webcam services
[01:02] <yowshi> spideyman: 64bit has been out for years yet there is very little in the way of support for it even big name people like adobe arent touching it
[01:02] <BABA_RECORD> lol i have 3 days at her for a litle problem
[01:02] <yowshi> spideyman: a player for some movies i wanted to download off the oprah site. for my mom
[01:02] <prototype> thanks soundray, I'll check it out.
[01:02] <soundray> Rael420: you can use the same fix that applies to Eee PCs. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes  -- scroll down to Wireless - Workaround: Madwifi
[01:02] <spideyman> yowshi, what format are they in?
[01:03] <yooshi> soundray: nope java didn't fix my problem
[01:03] <yowshi> spideyman: it appears to be in mkv but i cant reach the actual content to use download helper on them without the firefox player addon
[01:03] <soundray> yooshi: what program are you trying to run?
[01:04] <yowshi> spideyman: the bloody site doesnt give the name of the addon though
[01:04] <Cyde> PulseAudio doesn't start automatically when I start KDE, so I have to run it in a console.  How do I have it start automatically?
[01:04] <yooshi> soundray: frostwire
[01:04] <soundray> !frostwire | yooshi
[01:04] <yooshi> it won't start, and I checked the info and it said that I might need an alternate java runtime
[01:04] <spideyman> yowshi, holy crap youve had a bad day!
[01:04] <Rael420> thank you
[01:05] <yooshi> soundray:  thats why i checked it out and went ahead and tried this
[01:05] <Rael420> soundray
[01:05] <yowshi> spideyman: i tried every trick i could think of but it looks like i will have to use vmware on this one
[01:05]  * yooshi doesn't understand why frostwire won't work
[01:05] <spideyman> yowshi, BOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
[01:05] <yooshi> guess its time to try it in terminal
[01:05] <spideyman> yowshi, whats the site?
[01:06] <yowshi> spideyman: yes i dont wanna either but this favor means alot to my ma and i wanna help her. her winblows comp is to unstable to do it
[01:06] <yowshi> spideyman:  http://www.oprah.com/obc_classic/webcast/archive/archive_watchnow.jsp
[01:06] <spideyman> yowshi, typical
[01:06] <eraldo> greetings
[01:07] <yooshi> soundray:  I ran frostwire via terminal and I get errors but I don't understand them
[01:07] <eraldo> how can I enable ASCII codes (with `ALT + <numbers>`)
[01:07] <soundray> yooshi: put them on paste.ubuntu.com and let me have the URL
[01:07] <yowshi> yooshi post them to pastebin and then give the people here the link
[01:07] <soundray> eraldo: Shift-Ctrl-u-code
[01:08] <Peddy> can someone please help me? My wireless speed on my desktop with bcm34xx is really slow, and in iwconfig, it keeps reverting to 2MBPS after I reboot or sleep the computer. Can someone please help me make the wireless speed setting stick? Thanks
[01:08] <yowshi> i also meshed together the two halves of this universes consciousness today
[01:08] <yowshi> dont know how long it will work but i think i can count on thier support
[01:08] <yooshi> yep working on a pastebin :)
[01:08] <yowshi> ooops that gopes into the rpg window
[01:09] <spideyman> yowshi, its loading for me on 32bit 8.04
[01:09] <yooshi> http://www.pastebin.ca/1052221
[01:09] <yowshi> what addon it is using?
[01:10] <soundray> yooshi: the site is not responding here. Try http://paste.ubuntu.com
[01:10] <yooshi> brb, afk
[01:10] <eraldo> soundray: thank you,... hm, I have the impression that different numbers-codes are used, is that possible ?
[01:10] <yowshi> spideyman: when i enable the scripts for both sites i get a player install needed window
[01:10] <soundray> eraldo: yes -- unicode
[01:11] <tommy_> when will 2.4.1 Openoffice be relased in the repos?
[01:11] <Shadow_Ice> anyone tell me what my problem is. i start to install Ubuntu and after a while it tells me its creating image and then everytime it gets close to 100% done it says "cant access cd please make sure nothing else is using the current drive" and then starts over.
[01:11] <spideyman> yowshi, still loading i think its fubared
[01:11] <yowshi> yeah i know :(
[01:11] <eraldo> soundray: but there are no ASCII codes in ubuntu ?
[01:11] <yowshi> if you enable both sites scripts it tells you you need a special player addon for firefox
[01:12] <eraldo> soundray: the standard alt combinations i mean, where 8888 is (c) for example
[01:12] <spideyman> yowshi, im gonna play with it too!
[01:12] <soundray> eraldo: ASCII is actually a subset of unicode. Perhaps it's the fact that you have to enter hex codes that's confusing you?
[01:13] <eraldo> soundray: I guess so,... I'll read some text on unicode, hope that will help :) thanks
[01:14] <soundray> eraldo: also have a look at the very useful charmap application
[01:15] <soundray> !info gucharmap | eraldo
[01:15] <Mo> i keep getting a white screen when i logon
[01:15] <eraldo> soundray: I used that app in the meantime... want something quicker though, but thanks again, for the hint
[01:15] <Mo> any help?
[01:16] <yooshi> one sec
[01:16] <yowshi> spideyman: only it doesnt fragging tell you this addons name
[01:16] <yowshi> spideyman: i may be able to do something else to this like media player connectivity
[01:16] <yooshi> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21699/
[01:16] <Cannibal-X> i have an external hdd-drive and i dunno how to use it at ubuntu, could anyone help?
[01:17] <spideyman> yowshi, you got me interested now!
[01:17] <Mo> i keep getting a white screen when i logon, can anyone tell me why?
[01:17] <yowshi> spideyman: LOL a race to find which media downloader works first??
[01:18] <spideyman> yowshi, k go!
[01:18] <`Kryten`> hey..... can someone help me with setting up 32 bit drive access and dma for my hardy box?
[01:18] <yowshi> LOL
[01:18] <soundray> yooshi: it's telling you
[01:18] <yooshi> what do you all recommend for downloading torrents on ubuntu?
[01:18] <yooshi> it is? in another file?
[01:18] <hiptobecubic> I'm trying to install the bot-sentry plugin and after i compile and run make install i can't find it in the list of plugins
[01:18] <eraldo> soundray: I will lookup how to enter them in unicode, I only need 4 symbols by hard... for the rest I will use the app, respect! for providing such good help and info
[01:19] <yooshi> soundray:  you mean this: /usr/lib/frostwire/runFrostwire.sh: line 125:  7477 Aborted
[01:19] <soundray> yooshi: look at line 15 and 16 of your post
[01:19] <soundray> eraldo: I have one more suggestion
[01:19] <psyco> hey, I have cairo-dock. I added system monitor, it glitched and now I can't delete it, it is also inviaible and I can't modify it at all. Anyone know how to fix this???
[01:19] <onats> can i do an upgrade to hardy heron using a CD? seems to be faster
[01:19] <onats> ?
[01:20] <soundray> eraldo: the Character Palette applet. You can configure it to show your most frequently used special characters, ready to pick.
[01:20] <spideyman> yowshi, i got one to play with ff3 in the tuesday recap
[01:20] <unop> onats, you'll need the alternative CD to do that
[01:20] <yooshi> soundray:  says works best with 1.4+ how does that make 1.6 not usable? hence 1.4+
[01:20] <onats> unop, ok, will download it instaed
[01:20] <pipeee> s
[01:21] <bogey-> !alternative
[01:22] <yowshi> spideyman: i got it to play
[01:22] <soundray> yooshi: it's obviously not usable, and this is the only thing you have to go on. Try installing sun-java5-jre (and configure it via update-alternatives --config java)
[01:22] <yowshi> spideyman: i used unplug to get the raw links
[01:22] <Shadow_Ice> how come when i try to istall it says creating Image and gets to 100% and tells me that it cant access the cd?
[01:22] <unop> onats, it might actually be quicker to use apt to download only the updates you need rather than the entire alternate CD image containing a lot more that isn't used in the upgrade process
[01:22] <spideyman> yowshi, see persistance
[01:23] <yooshi> soundray:  so I just remove 1.6 then install 1.5?
[01:23] <onats> unop, am doing it on apt now, but the download speed is not maximum of my bandwidth capacity.. its only half..
[01:23] <yowshi> spideyman: but download helper isnt grabbing the file
[01:23] <soundray> yooshi: no, you don't have to remove anything (hence update-alternatives)
[01:23] <yooshi> ok
[01:24] <yowshi> spideyman: i need a better vid grabber download helper is a crap shot. you know of one?
[01:24] <yooshi> so I install 1.5 as I would in synaptics and then run the update command?
[01:24] <soundray> yooshi: yes
[01:24] <spideyman> yowshi, i use kde desktop!
[01:24] <unop> onats, the speed you download at from someone else can be no more than their maximum upload speed -- if you aren't experiencing good speeds with apt, try using another mirror
[01:24] <yowshi> spideyman: how does that grab videos being played on firefox?
[01:24] <onats> ok.. let me try again
[01:25] <KyleK> whats GPT partition type?
[01:25] <MrRich> HI everyone :)
[01:25] <KyleK> does linux support it?
[01:25] <spideyman> yowshi, no meaning your more than likely in gnome so it would be different
[01:25] <MrRich> is there a chat room for beginners?
[01:25] <unop> MrRich, this is it. ask a question to the channel
[01:25] <gway9000> MrRich: this is it
[01:25] <KyleK> MrRich: half the questions here are cupholder related yes
[01:25] <spideyman> yowshi, what r u using now?
[01:25] <MrRich> well cool
[01:25] <Solaris444> hi guys, anybody know anything about resetting root passwords?
[01:26] <yowshi> spideyman: the download helper addon for firefox. it sucks i need something better to grab videos off firefox as they are playing
[01:26] <KyleK> Solaris444: sudo -i and then passwd
[01:26] <KyleK> orrr
[01:26] <yowshi> spideyman: something more reliable
[01:26] <KyleK> reboot and edit the grub line, add init=/bin/bash to the end
[01:26] <soundray> Solaris444: just boot in recovery mode, run 'passwd -l' and administer your system through sudo
[01:26] <Cyde> Can I actually download package source code using deb-src repositories?
[01:26] <Solaris444> can't take the system offline KyleK
[01:26] <MrRich> I feel kinda stupid here but Ive been having so many problems with XP I thought I would try a new OS..and thought about Ubuntu...this is starting to seem out of my league though ..should I remove XP and just install U?
[01:27] <unop> Cyde, yes, that is their purpose
[01:27] <KyleK> Solaris444: and you cant sudo to root?
[01:27] <soundray> Cyde: yes
[01:27] <yooshi> grrr why does my wireless keep disconnecting me, this just started 10 minutes ago
[01:27] <Solaris444> KyleK: no
[01:27] <Dug_Fin> Ok, i read that running the update from the command line might fix things, but I don't know how to go about that and I tried the alternate installer but never found a command to do the update
[01:27] <Cyde> Okay, so how do I do it?
[01:27] <un_dave> does anyone know how i can display the results of arbitrary terminal commands in the gnome panel, or somewhere in the gui in gnome? I have a raid 5 system it would be nice to see the status of.
[01:27] <spideyman> yowshi, http://webscripts.softpedia.com/script/Multimedia/Video/Video-grabber-script-45002.html
[01:27] <Shadow_Ice> how come when i try to istall it says creating Image and gets to 100% and tells me that it cant access the cd?
[01:27] <Dug_Fin> so I am stuck witha blue screen and a cursor
[01:27] <unop> KyleK, GPT is a partioning system that uses GUIDs to identify partitions, upto 128 seperate partitions are supported - and linux can deal with GPT
[01:28] <KyleK> Solaris444: you need root access to change the root password
[01:28] <deejaypip> MrRich: you should try dualbooting first and let me pull up an article that compares linux and windows
[01:28] <KyleK> cool
[01:28] <KyleK> I'll try it
[01:28] <soundray> Shadow_Ice: if you don't get an answer, don't just repeat -- rephrase
[01:28] <MrRich> ok
[01:28] <deejaypip> MrRich: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
[01:28] <MrRich> thanks deejaypip
[01:28] <Herissy> automatic transmissions are for lazy people who can't drive.

[01:28] <deejaypip> MrRich: I converted from XP to Ubuntu a month or so ago. what kind of problems are you having?
[01:29] <soundray> !dualboot | MrRich
[01:29] <Mo0oSaH> Herissy: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:29] <Shadow_Ice> there is no other way to say it
[01:29] <yowshi> spideyman: ok that will help in the future but as this is new i doubt that this particular video set can be gotten using this
[01:29] <MrRich> I have a corrupt DLL file for one thing..I can't scan or defrag, if I do I get a blue screen of death...
[01:29] <Herissy> just spouting off.
[01:29] <Herissy> sorry.
[01:29] <soundray> Shadow_Ice: if you can't be bothered to elaborate, I can't be bothered to help
[01:30] <yooshi> yowshi:  so you use kde desktop? and your point is?
[01:30] <chowder> MrRich: step 1 get rid of windows
[01:30] <yowshi> yooshi: no i use gnome
[01:30] <KyleK> damn ntfs or bust in vista
[01:30] <yooshi> omfg
[01:30] <MrRich> I thought about that chowder
[01:30] <soundray> !language
[01:30] <Solaris444> gway9000: ok and what should i do with /etc/shadow
[01:30] <Herissy> wonder how many people in here use kde over gnome.
[01:30] <Shadow_Ice> ok then would it be easier to remove windows and install ubuntu on a clean drive?
[01:31] <yooshi> why the heck is my wifi dropping every few seconds all of the sudden?
[01:31] <yooshi> no wonder everything is slow
[01:31] <MrRich> thaqts what I would like to know Shadow_Ice
[01:31] <soundray> Shadow_Ice: no
[01:31] <chowder> MrRich: go to distrowatch.com and look the many distros there. Ubuntu, imo, is the most user friendly
[01:31] <Herissy> shadow dual boot.
[01:31] <kappaccino> .
[01:32] <soundray> MrRich: it's straightforward to install a dual-boot  system using the Ubuntu Desktop CD
[01:32] <un_dave> does anyone know how i can display the results of arbitrary terminal commands in the gnome panel, or somewhere in gnome?
[01:32] <mynetdude> could I get a little hand here? my ubuntu laptop is dropping connection every few secs... and I need to know why
[01:32] <Shadow_Ice> ive been trying to do that. right now its downloading instal files and i have about 5 hours left b4 its done
[01:32] <MrRich> does Ubuntu have thier own DLLs?
[01:32] <Flannel> MrRich: No.  Linux doesn't use DLLs
[01:32] <gway9000> Solaris444: there is a alphanumeric value that reps the password if you edit it and delete only the alphanumeric it will delete the pw -
[01:32] <coil> lib
[01:32] <Herissy> ubuntu doesn't use DLL's
[01:32] <MrRich> took me 30 mins to download..I'm on dsl here
[01:32] <soundray> MrRich: yes. They are called shared libraries
[01:33] <Herissy> ubuntu uses libs
[01:33] <Solaris444> that sounds good gway9000
[01:33] <coil> wine uses dlls
[01:33] <Shadow_Ice> im on dsl too
[01:33] <chowder> MrRich: forget everything about windows and come to our side. :D
[01:33] <unop> un_dave, use zenity
[01:33] <Herissy> wine has too.. its a windows emulator.
[01:33] <wers> soundray, what do I run again after purging the old kernels?
[01:33] <Solaris444> gway9000: is that value a hash that could be used to recover the password?
[01:33] <MrRich> I want to chowder lol
[01:33] <soundray> wers: apt-get autoremove
[01:33] <Flannel> Solaris444: `sudo passwd -l root` will re-lock the root passowrd
[01:33] <gway9000> Solaris444: you should be able to add new  pw afterwards
[01:34] <MrRich> will MIRC work in Ubuntu?
[01:34] <Ahadiel> MrRich, Yes, if run under wine.
[01:34] <Herissy> for IRC use xchat.
[01:34] <mynetdude> has anyone had a wifi issue with ubuntu dropping connection every few seconds?
[01:34] <yowshi> next up anyone know how to configure snes9express?
[01:34] <Flannel> MrRich: It may be possible with wine, but there are native programs you can use instead
[01:34] <Herissy> in ubuntu
[01:34] <gway9000> Solaris444: not sure if ophcrack or similar may decipher
[01:34] <unop> Solaris444, the hash is a one-way hash, theoretically you cannot recover the original plain text password from it except via brute-force guessing
[01:34] <soundray> MrRich: not natively, no. You can install an abstraction layer for Windows software called wine
[01:34] <wers> soundray, it didnt remove anything. oh well. i guess, it's finee
[01:34] <Solaris444> right unop
[01:34] <mynetdude> MrRich use pidgin!
[01:35] <soundray> wers: it doesn't on every system
[01:35] <chowder> MrRich: try a dual boot with Ubuntu. If you like Linux then destroy windows
[01:35] <Flannel> Solaris444: don't edit the shadow file, just `sudo passwd -l root`
[01:35] <Herissy> why not just use the Live CD.
[01:35] <Herissy> then if you like it type install.
[01:35] <Herissy> simple as that.
[01:35] <wers> soundray, thanks
[01:35] <mynetdude> Flannel well I'm liking ubuntu and destroyed my windows... but now I'm starting to not like it with the fact its disconnecting me every few seoncs
[01:35] <MrRich> I have the live CD..
[01:35] <soundray> MrRich: I can tell you don't know yet how much of a different world Ubuntu is
[01:35] <Solaris444> Flannel: can't sudo without root's password.
[01:35] <gway9000> Solaris444: if you can do what Flannel suggested then it would be best
[01:35] <MrRich> that obvious huh soundray lol
[01:36] <Shadow_Ice> lol
[01:36] <Ahadiel> Solaris444, sudo uses the user's password.
[01:36] <doubled> :)
[01:36] <Flannel> Solaris444: yes you can.  sudo uses your user password, unless you've changed the defaults
[01:36] <Solaris444> Ahadiel: It asks me root's password.  yes i changed the defaults.
[01:36] <MrRich> I'm thinking I'll get there and stare at a blank screen
[01:36] <Flannel> Solaris444: and if you can't sudo, then theres no way you'll be able to edit /etc/shadow anyway
[01:36] <Herissy> MrRich : we all had to start somewhere
[01:36] <MrRich> all of these new terms
[01:36] <mynetdude> so nobody can help with a wifi connection issue?
[01:36] <Solaris444> damn i really didn't want to take the system offline.  looks like I'll have to.
[01:37] <Flannel> Solaris444: Then you're stuck.  You'll need to reboot.  Lock the root password, set sudo back up to use users passwords.
[01:37] <doubled> mynetdude: i dont know that much about that yet :(
[01:37] <Shadow_Ice> anyone know where i can find drivers for netgear wirless adapter for ubuntu
[01:37] <yowshi> for the love of all things cute and puppylike. no matter what ekmbedded videodownloader i throw at this thing it only getas a file 148kb big
[01:37] <Solaris444> thanks all.
[01:37] <gway9000> Solaris444: you use a disk like knoppix and chroot to the drive then edit
[01:37] <Solaris444> I'll see how i go.
[01:37] <doubled> is your wireless card detected though mynetdude ?
[01:37] <Flannel> Solaris444: And actually, you'll need a liveCD to do it.  Since you can't get into the recovery console
[01:37] <soundray> !wireless | Shadow_Ice
[01:37] <FunkyLarge> Is there any fix for flash crashing firefox all the time?
[01:37] <Shadow_Ice> thank you
[01:37] <Ahadiel> FunkyLarge, Flash is just buggy, that's all =/
[01:37] <MrRich> live CD you can download and make form the ISP
[01:37] <MrRich> er ISO
[01:38] <mynetdude> doubled how do I know? it was working fine last night and all this morning until about 15-20 mintues ago
[01:38] <yowshi> i have even tried using firefox itself on the link with save as
[01:38] <soundray> FunkyLarge: make sure you haven't got conflicting plugins (load about:plugins as the URL)
[01:38] <doubled> ah i see. and when you have a cable connected to that same router it works fine ?
[01:38] <Flannel> Solaris444: There's a reason Ubuntu does things the way it does, and you probably don't want to deviate from those anyway.  Why did you feel compelled to use the root password for sudo?
[01:38] <doubled> you can check your network interfaces by typing ifconfig in a terminal screen
[01:39] <doubled> if it doesnt show up in there its either not installed or not activated
[01:39] <soundray> !who | doubled
[01:39] <doubled> soundray: sorry
[01:39] <mynetdude> doubled well its activated I know that
[01:39] <soundray> doubled: :)
[01:39] <Herissy> lol I was born confused.
[01:39] <mynetdude> doubled is there any way to check the network interfaces via the GUI rather than terminal?
[01:40] <Shadow_Ice> well that sucks mine isnt in there.
[01:40] <doubled> mynetdude: yes. go to system, then system administration and then network
[01:40] <soundray> Shadow_Ice: how is yours connected -- USB?
[01:40] <Shadow_Ice> yea
[01:41] <soundray> Shadow_Ice: any output when you run 'lsusb | grep Netgear' in terminal?
[01:41] <doubled> mynetdude: it should show under the tab "connections"
[01:41] <yurimxpxman> are 6g ipods supported in 8.04 out of the box, or do I have to compile libgpod?
[01:41] <doubled> yurimxpxman: you can use the program "rockbox" or "amarok" both will detect your ipod fine
[01:41] <yooshi> update-alternatives: unable to make /etc/alternatives/java.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java: Permission denied <----- how do I get permission?
[01:41] <Shadow_Ice> i wouldnt know. im still waiting for the install files to finish downloading. andthen it all depends on if it wants to install
[01:41] <Flannel> yooshi: sudo
[01:42] <yooshi> oh I have to do sudo at the front... yeah
[01:42] <suweid> Why doesn't ifdown eth0 work as I expect it to? Says "no interface eth0"... WHAT. OUTRAGE.
[01:42] <soundray> doubled: are you mistaking rhythmbox and rockbox?
[01:42] <yurimxpxman> doubled: are you sure? The last version didn't support the 6g out of the box.. just 5 and below
[01:42] <kitche> suweid: do you have a eth0
[01:42] <yurimxpxman> soundray: lol.. I'd say yes
[01:43] <suweid> kitche yeah, the nm-applet says I have eth0
[01:43] <doubled> soundray: hmm you might be right. someone asked same question yesterday, and i wrote it down because i got an ipod as well :)
[01:43] <soundray> Shadow_Ice: then don't worry about it now -- it may well work straight away
[01:43] <banet416> hello i have hardy heron 8.04 cd i have burnt, i am trying to access the desktop with the livecd option, the problem is i have no monitor, instead i have a geforce fx5500 with svideo out. this svideo out plug is connected to a svideo-to-composite video. I thought that ubunntu would recognize this and show me a desktop on my tv, but nope... so i have no way of knowing what to do
[01:44] <suweid> kitche, nm-applet says I do; but it's not in that interface file... mhmhm
[01:44] <Petrucci> whats the best program to use with a PC FAX?
[01:44] <soundray> doubled: rockbox is an open-source replacement firmware for ipods and some other music players
[01:44] <kitche> suweid: what does ifconfig show for devices?
[01:44] <suweid> eth0, lo
[01:44] <Shadow_Ice> i hope so. ive been wanting to use Ubuntu now since i was using Mint i just didnt have enough ram for ubuntu
[01:44] <soundray> Petrucci: what's PC FAX -- a modem?
[01:44] <doubled> soundray: ah ok thanks, i will write down rhytmbox then. i got an ipod  touch myself. i wanna try and connect it sometime tommorow
[01:44] <suweid> ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
[01:45] <suweid> if I do "sudo ifdown eth0"
[01:45] <Petrucci> yes
[01:45] <kitche> suweid: hmm seems like it's not configured which seems strange since your on right now
[01:45] <soundray> doubled: there's also a factoid:
[01:45] <Petrucci> i want to use a software program to send and ecieve faxes on my pc
[01:45] <soundray> !ipod | doubled, yurimxpxman
[01:45] <suweid> kitche, yeah. That's what I'm thinking to.
[01:45] <suweid> and apparenty i'd much rather be off.
[01:45] <suweid> :)
[01:45] <LoRez> why is hardy not detecting that my wifi network is wpa2 based and instead asking for LEAP auth?
[01:46] <soundray> Petrucci: try hylafax
[01:46] <yooshi> soundray:  i still can't get frostwire to run on java5
[01:46] <Flannel> Petrucci: There's a few of them, you'd do best searching in synaptic, reading the descriptions, and trying some out
[01:46] <soundray> !info hylafax-client
[01:46] <soundray> yooshi: same error?
[01:46] <yooshi> does anyone here have frostwire working successfully under ubuntu 8?
[01:46] <banet416> hello i have hardy heron 8.04 cd i have burnt, i am trying to access the desktop with the livecd option, the problem is i have no monitor, instead i have a geforce fx5500 with svideo out. this svideo out plug is connected to a svideo-to-composite video. I thought that ubunntu would recognize this and show me a desktop on my tv, but nope... so i have no way of knowing what to do
[01:46] <yooshi> oh... nah forgot to run it through terminal
[01:46] <soundray> yooshi: don't turn this into a survey please
[01:47] <yooshi> no not the same error... much bigger

[01:50] <SynrG> recommendation for installing on an old IBM thinkpad with only 256M?
[01:50] <SynrG> the live CD thrashes horribly ... :P
[01:50] <Flannel> SynrG: Try xubuntu, if thats not working, use the alternate CD to install a CLI only system, then add a lightweight WM (fluxbox, etc).
[01:50] <solj> anyone know the _right_ way to disable gvfs on hardy
[01:50] <daniel_mc> I need help installing a VTBook on Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) running 2.6.24-18-generic.  hardware: X61 lenovo thinkpad
[01:51] <Flannel> SynrG: so, try xubuntu from the alternate CD.  Or if you want to instlal without a live environment, Hardy (and gutsy) have an option to boot just to an installer from the Desktop CD
[01:51] <SynrG> where is said alternate?
[01:51] <yowshi> anyone know of an utralreliable video downloader for firefox?
[01:51] <Flannel> SynrG: Same places as he regular Desktop ISO.
[01:51] <yowshi> something better then download helper
[01:51] <CaptainMorgan> what's an equivalent command to Unix's logins ? I would like to see which users on the system do not currently have passwords so I can force them to add a password at their next login....
[01:51] <CaptainMorgan> Unix would be: logins -p
[01:52] <SynrG> Flannel: hm.  how did i miss it? it seemed to only offer two: desktop and server
[01:52] <Flannel> SynrG: Where are you looking?
[01:52] <SynrG> Flannel: server is the 'alternate'?
[01:52] <yooshi> is there a frostwire alternative that DOES work?
[01:52] <SynrG> "get ubuntu" from the home page
[01:52] <Flannel> SynrG: No, server is server.
[01:52] <SynrG> LTS
[01:52] <Flannel> SynrG: check the "alternate desktop CD" box at the bottom
[01:53] <yowshi> SynrG: look around the bottom there should be an alternate cd dropdown list if i recall right
[01:53] <SynrG> Flannel: that's how i missed it.  i was looking for a link or button :P
[01:53] <Flannel> SynrG: that'll install Ubuntu (or no GUI)
[01:53] <SynrG> my eyes skipped right over the checbkox :P
[01:53] <banet416> hello i have hardy heron 8.04 cd i have burnt, i am trying to access the desktop with the livecd option, the problem is i have no monitor, instead i have a geforce fx5500 with svideo out. this svideo out plug is connected to a svideo-to-composite video. I thought that ubunntu would recognize this and show me a desktop on my tv, but nope... so i have no way of knowing what to do
[01:53] <akahige> I have a problem with... don't know if it's X or the window manager (Gnome), where I lose all of my keybindings and the ability to modify with SHIFT or CTRL... the fix seems to be to log out of the desktop.  Is there any way I can do this and leave apps running without having to close everything...?
[01:54] <yooshi> hey soundray any ideas about my java error?

[01:55] <banet416> yowshi what do you suggest id o

[01:59] <chuckf> banet416, do you see the bios post when you boot via your TV?
[01:59] <banet415> what was the url again? (this is the man talkinga bouit trying to do livecd with no monitor)
[01:59] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, awesome, thanks!

[02:00] <Rael420> thanks
[02:00] <banet415> thanks flannel
[02:00] <banet415> i will dl and take a look
[02:00] <Rael420> heh
[02:00] <banet415> chuckf i do not see the bios post
[02:00] <Flannel> banet415: oh!  You can set up ssh blind, and then ssh in, install nvidia drivers, etc.
[02:00] <banet415> the tv shows a blue screen
[02:00] <Rael420> that sounds familiar
[02:00] <Rael420> "dl and take a look"
[02:00] <wers> how do I mount my partitions on the live cd/
[02:01] <banet415> rael420 you watch too much porn then
[02:01] <Rael420> LMAO
[02:01] <banet415> :)
[02:01] <chuckf> banet415, its not the ubuntu disk then. There is a bios setting that needs to be changed to use your video card before the onboard video
[02:01] <BlueLaguna> My Ubuntu installation is erroring when trying to install grub.  I had to do modprobe ide_generic to even start the installation.  However, although the /home disk is ide, the primary disk is SATA.
[02:02] <BlueLaguna> Any ideas for fixing my grub problem?
[02:02] <BlueLaguna> It doesn't go past that
[02:02] <banet415> chuckf i remember that when i had debian, i was able to see the bios get posted to the TV ... now i have a different tv which has no svideo, so i am using a svideo-to-composite cable to plug into it... do you think this is another problem?
[02:02] <chuckf> banet415, I jsut had that issue with a mythbox I just built
[02:03] <chuckf> banet415, it could be as I went through two different cables before one worked
[02:03] <chuckf> (well one cable and one adaptor
[02:03] <chuckf> and not to be a smartass, but you are sure you're on the right video input right?
[02:03] <chuckf> for the TV
[02:03] <banet415> chuckf this was my old set up: debian, svideo direct to TV... i saw it post bios on the TV screen and it booted properly and saw everything onTV like normal.....
[02:04] <chuckf> if you're not seeing the bios post, then something else in the setup is wrong
[02:04] <chuckf> if the bios post workd before
[02:04] <banet415> chuckf, now my setup is on a older tv, ubuntu livecd, svideo from geforce fx5500 -> svideo-to-composite-cable -> composite video plug on vcr -> vcr output to tv cable -> tv
[02:05] <banet415> chuckf ok then hmmm
[02:05] <banet415> is it possible i have a faulty svideo-to-composite cable
[02:05] <banet415> i know everything beyond the vcr works (ps2 plugged into vcr works)
[02:05] <doubled> are there any logs of the files you open in ubuntu ?
[02:06] <chuckf> jsut a guess, but I'm thinking the vcr inputs are wrong somehow
[02:06] <banet415> chuckf, cant be, ive used the same ports as where the ps2 was using
[02:06] <soundray> doubled: not really. Some apps record recent files in Places - Recent Documents
[02:06] <chuckf> okay
[02:07] <banet415> anyway this is probably beyond the scope of ubuntu
[02:07] <chuckf> then I'd have to guess the cable is bad
[02:07] <soundray> Rael420: ready
[02:07] <banet415> i will have to screw around and see
[02:07] <Rael420>  thanks soundray
[02:07] <chuckf> all else being equal that is
[02:07] <doubled> soundray: thx, do you also know how to delete the listing in there ?

[02:16] <Flannel> yowshi: You can either find a third party repo, or install it outside of package management (which, if done properly, you can do harmoniously with package management).  See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion

[02:25] <Badie> anyone can help me please ?
[02:25] <vipester> Im reading up on some WPA config stuff, if I edit /etc/network/interface, can I no longer use network manager?
[02:25] <DIL> larubbio: you wont know until you ask a ?
[02:25] <larubbio> Good point.
[02:26] <bluesfreak72> Hi there!
[02:26] <Badie> should i drop my qustion /
[02:26] <Badie> ?
[02:26] <Starnestommy> !ask | Badie
[02:26] <DIL> Badie: cradle it and see if you get an answer
[02:26] <larubbio> I'm trying to configure it so it expunges mails immediately when I do a delete.  Or have it actually do a move instead of a copy on delete.  I connect to my imap account from evolution and my blackberry.  I want evolution to remove all the spam from my inbox so the blackberry interface is clean when it syncs.  Currently it copies, so my blackberry is useless

[02:27] <teknoprep> i have a 64bit cpu... should i run x86_64 or x86.. from what i read there isn't a bit difference
[02:27] <BlueLaguna> I keep getting this error when I try to install Ubuntu
[02:27] <Badie> I have windows xp install on my laptop , and i have empty drive and want to install ubuntu on it , after i install it , i will have boot option and i wont lose the os windows XP ?

[02:28] <PunjabDaSher> Hey
[02:28] <BlueLaguna> My primary disk is sata and my secondary is IDE
[02:28] <bluesfreak72> I'm having an issue with 8.04 installed on a Gateway laptop.  It's locking up with no rhyme or reason as to why.  I'm not finding anything in /var/log/messages.  Whenever I run memtester, it always locks in Gnome, but kills itself before the test is run.  Anybody have any ideas of how to track this down?
[02:28] <PunjabDaSher> I was wondering if I could receive some help with some file sharing problems I'm having.
[02:28] <BlueLaguna> However, I had to do modprobe ide_generic to even boot into the installation
[02:29] <BlueLaguna> "Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed. This is a fatal error."
[02:29] <BlueLaguna> that's what I'm getting
[02:29] <Starnestommy> Badie: if you install it correctly, it should automatically detect windows and let you choose it when you boot up
[02:29] <Badie> Starnestommy Thanks
[02:29] <DIL> larubbio: have you checked under preferences
[02:30] <larubbio> yep, it's pretty slim in the gui, I'm wondering if there are more prefs in a config file.
[02:30] <larubbio> Also for expunging the options are on exit, daily, weekly, monthly.  I never exit (or rarely), and I'd like an immediatly option in there.
[02:30] <DIL> larubbio: have you checked under preferences then mail preferences -
[02:31] <vipester> I have edited my /etc/network/interface file to try to get wpa to work, is it normal that my network-manager no longer works?

[02:40] <vipester> Can someone help me config WPA (with network manager)?  I can only connect to wep/open networks
[02:40] <PunjabDaSher> so the server side of it is fine i believe
[02:40] <Herissy> omfg I can finally see my windows shares on the network.
[02:41] <SCBobbear> cool.
[02:41]  * SCBobbear is pulling what is left of his hair out.
[02:41] <PunjabDaSher> weird thing is, i can go to places>network>Windows Network>MSHOME and thn none of my computers are listed
[02:41] <Herissy> just by sheer luck apparently, never been able to do it before.
[02:41] <larubbio> ﻿PunjabDaSher: can you manually mount﻿ those machines?
[02:41] <larubbio> mount //192.168.1.XX/<share> /mnt/<local mount> (I forget the exact syntax, let me try on my system)
[02:42] <PunjabDaSher> amritpal@amritpal-laptop:~$ mount //192.168.1.102
[02:42] <PunjabDaSher> mount: can't find //192.168.1.102 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[02:42] <SCBobbear> I need help installing ubuntu.  I am on a laptop and have had ubuntu before. I am trying to make the switch to 100% ubuntu. I don't want Windows on my machine at all.  Can someone give me a hand.
[02:42] <shubbar> i need to remove wicd and install network manager
[02:42] <Herissy> now I can backup my system to that drive. nice.
[02:42] <shubbar> but if i remove wicd, then i have no connection!
[02:42] <Herissy> anyone know a good backup routine un ubuntu?
[02:42] <PunjabDaSher> Herissy i think i might have the same problem as you, how did you fix your machine
[02:43] <Herissy> went to Places | Network |
[02:43] <vipester> shubbar if you do apt-get install network-manager it should take care of it
[02:43] <kohnrad1982> Anyone know of a way to scan for keyloggers on Ubuntu?
[02:43] <larubbio> Do you have permisisons on your share?  If so perhaps nautalis can't connect since the shares require a login?
[02:44] <Herissy> Windows Network | MSHOME | then the shares.
[02:44] <PunjabDaSher> yea the shares arnt listed under mshome
[02:44] <PunjabDaSher> and no i dont have them protected with passwords
[02:44] <Herissy> they never showed up before, I didn't change anything
[02:44] <PunjabDaSher> weird
[02:44] <larubbio> I have this in my /etc/fstab to manually mount a share:
[02:44] <larubbio> //kitty/backups    /mnt/backups        cifs    auto,credentials=/root/.credentials,iocharset=utf8,nounix,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[02:44] <Herissy> all the sudden now they do
[02:44] <MatthewV> SCBobbear, is there any particular problem that you've encountered? Have you tried to install yet?
[02:45] <shubbar> vipester, worked, thanks
[02:45] <SCBobbear> Hi matthewv.  I tried using the burned iso that I donwloaded.
[02:45] <SCBobbear> realised that I had nothing installed even though it looked like it was doing something.
[02:46] <PunjabDaSher> I'm kind of a noob at linux in general, so could you explain what fstab is
[02:46] <vipester> shubbar, np.  ive been switching to try and get my wpa to work lol
[02:46] <SCBobbear> I had a real disk before and was able to pop it in my computer and get rid of windows totally and have a 100 percent linux box.
[02:46] <onats> hi, i hvae a USB hard drive here that i want to format, but when i try to do it in gparted, i can't. its somewhat read only. how do i enable reformatting/repartitioning?
[02:46] <SCBobbear> I was advised to use the text based installer and just got it downloaded and am gonna burn it.
[02:46] <larubbio> for the detail doc you can type 'man fstab'
[02:46] <PunjabDaSher> k
[02:46] <SCBobbear> but I was wondering what I might be doing wrong and need a hand getting rid of windows.
[02:47] <mynetdude> I found a solution on how to fix the java problem
[02:47] <Herissy> lol and now just like that its broken again
[02:47] <MatthewV> SCBobbear, from what you've been describing, the desktop cd is probably your best bet - it just works in over 95% of cases
[02:47] <Herissy> I can't do anything with them ugh.
[02:47] <larubbio> in short it is a file that lists different filesystem that can be mounted and how to mount them.  You shouldn't need to do it, I was just hoping that using that system you might get an error message that explains why they aren't being automounted.
[02:47] <SCBobbear> so go ahead with the burned iso of desktop with the text based installer?
[02:47] <mynetdude> anyway I tried to run sudo apt-get remove sun-java* and I get two errors saying that E: could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock open 1 resource temporarily unavailable, unable to lock the admin directory
[02:48] <PunjabDaSher> o
[02:48] <wolfjb> I just did an upgrade and got linux-image-2.6.24-19 linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19 and now my nvidia 6200 card is not recognized. how to fix?
[02:48] <SCBobbear> 'cause the other version isn't helping me get rid of windows like the disk I had a year ago.
[02:48] <larubbio> you can also look at /etc/mtab to see what is currently mounted by the system.  You shouldn't edit that file.
[02:48] <PunjabDaSher> thing is, my workgroup is showing up, which is odd
[02:48] <mynetdude> how do I stop the process that is blocking me from being able to remove java?
[02:48] <larubbio> It might be that it can see that, but none of the computers.
[02:49] <mynetdude> or how do I know what process?
[02:49] <MatthewV> SCBobbear, if you use the desktop installer, and you want to replace windows entirely, you need to select the option that tells ubuntu to use all available disk space, the text mode installer is only intended if the desktop cd won't boot or you need an advanced install
[02:49] <overridex> anyone know a mirror for the latest madwifi snapshots? madwifi.org appears to be down
[02:49] <mynetdude> PunjabDaSher I have the same problem
[02:49] <afallenhope> Can someone help me out here? having issues. I installed gproftpd and I had two users setup. I don't want the service so I type sudo apt-get purge gproftpd howver I still have the group "ftpusers" and when I try to remove it .. it says: http://pastebin.com/m27b66ee3
[02:49] <SCBobbear> MatthewV, gotcha.  I will give it a shot.
[02:49] <SCBobbear> thank you so much.  I will be back one way or another.  Thanks again guys.
[02:49] <SCBobbear> I appreaciate it.
[02:50] <MatthewV> SCBobbear, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall may help

[02:51] <oxi> I also tried using unlink or remove first
[02:51] <mynetdude> larubbio does that command work even with simple file sharing?
[02:51] <MatthewV> SCBobbear, if you look on that link I posted, at the Select a Disk section, you just need to go with the default if you only have one HDD :)
[02:51] <freescroll> ubuntu heron
[02:51] <PunjabDaSher> it said no such file or directory

[02:52] <ubuntu> i have a desktop that shares out my home directory via nfs.  i mount it up on my laptop in /home/craig/remote.  what is the one liner equivilent to the fstab entry that does that on the laptop? I'm trying to mount it up on a livecd instance of xubuntu (since I'm using this box anyway and don't feel like unpacking my laptop) but I know there's some user specific stuff in the fstab line
[02:52] <PunjabDaSher> k
[02:52] <larubbio> Not sure what you mean by simple filesharing.  Ideally you shouldn't have to do that, I'm just hoping for an error message
[02:53] <M4rotku> how can i tell that my video card is working?
[02:53] <PunjabDaSher> basically i have my xp box set up to share files like music and video and stuff
[02:53] <ubuntu> M4rotku, you can see?
[02:53] <PunjabDaSher> a simple home network
[02:53] <M4rotku> yes
[02:53] <PunjabDaSher> and i can't access it through my ubuntu laptop
[02:53] <mynetdude> larubbio well by default when you setup shares in windows it is setup in simple file sharing and PunjabDaSher and I have the same problem so I am wondernig if the simple file sharing is the culprit?

[02:54] <mynetdude> hmm you might not be able to do it in XP Home, but I know Pro has a few options
[02:55] <mynetdude> I won't touch xp home
[02:55] <PunjabDaSher> and i cant access it from my ubuntu laptop
[02:55] <LesserRemarkable> how would i determine an open port for my bit torrent software to use?
[02:55] <craig-o> PunjabDaSher, and you can't get at them fomr ubuntu? is there a firewall running on the xo box?  Norton?
[02:55] <PunjabDaSher> no firewalls on the xp box
[02:55] <PunjabDaSher> no firewalls on my ubuntu box either
[02:55] <craig-o> PunjabDaSher, the windows box's own firewall isn't on?
[02:55] <LesserRemarkable> what about the built in firewall on xp
[02:55] <PunjabDaSher> nope
[02:56] <PunjabDaSher> its off
[02:56] <LesserRemarkable> or one somewhere in the actual network
[02:56] <PunjabDaSher> i can access the files on my xp box fine from another xp/vista machine
[02:56] <PunjabDaSher> just my ubuntu install thats acting upp
[02:56] <PunjabDaSher> up*
[02:56] <LesserRemarkable> my router had one built in and i couldn't network between my xp and vista because of it
[02:57] <craig-o> PunjabDaSher, what's something like (anyone correct my syntax if it's wrong) sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.1/Documents /mnt  do? 192.x.x is your windows box ip and /mnt is the folder where you're mounting up the share
[02:57] <PunjabDaSher> yea, i just got my laptop, and it had vista earlier today, i acessed all my files fine, and then i installed ubuntu and now thiss
[02:58] <craig-o> PunjabDaSher, good for you ditchnig Vista.  I had to play with it last night on someone's laptop and my bald spot got bigger...
[02:58] <PunjabDaSher> mount error 6 = No such device or address
[02:58] <craig-o> i have a desktop that shares out my home directory via nfs.  i mount it up on my laptop in /home/craig/remote.  what is the one liner equivilent to the fstab entry that does that on the laptop? I'm trying to mount it up on a livecd instance of xubuntu (since I'm using this box anyway and don't feel like unpacking my laptop) but I know there's some user specific stuff in the fstab line
[02:58] <dlozarie> hi guys, how do I increase the disk space Ubuntu can use? See, I dual-boot with Vista, and although there's like >15GB of space left on my disk, Ubuntu says it's got only ~2GB of space left to use. How do I increase that?
[02:58] <PunjabDaSher> when i entered it in
[02:58] <PunjabDaSher> yea vista simply put blows.
[02:58] <PunjabDaSher> lol
[02:59] <PunjabDaSher> slow as heck and is too clunky
[02:59] <a> serhat
[02:59] <xTorT> how big is a general ubuntu installation?
[02:59] <craig-o> PunjabDaSher, you got the ip right?  DOcuments might not have been right.  I usually go on the XP box and right click on the share to see what it's actualy share name is.
[02:59] <dlozarie> ﻿hi guys, how do I increase the disk space Ubuntu can use? See, I dual-boot with Vista, and although there's like >15GB of space left on my disk, Ubuntu says it's got only ~2GB of space left to use. How do I increase the space usable by Linux?
[02:59] <PunjabDaSher> yea
[02:59] <PunjabDaSher> ip is correct
[02:59] <PunjabDaSher> my box responds to ping
[02:59] <onats> !ext3
[02:59] <craig-o> dlozarie, dude, you just asked that.  have a glass of settle down
[03:00] <Storrgie> Is there a hotkey to switch between workspaces?
[03:00] <Marty81> is there a way to make symlinks with ln to a network directory (e.g. "smb://192.168.0.1/share/directory)? (It keeps creating files instead of folders)
[03:00] <NetEcho> how do you get a trash icon for your desktop?
[03:00] <xTorT> hi how big is ubuntu install?
[03:00] <dlozarie> @craig-o, yeah sorry. :D
[03:00] <Starnestommy> xTorT: at least 2 GB
[03:00] <mynetdude> it is?
[03:00] <craig-o> dlozarie, although my first inclination would be to get rid of windows.  that'd free up all kinds of space.  worked for me!
[03:01] <mynetdude> ah nvm was thinking xubuntu
[03:01] <Starnestommy> Storrgie: ctrl+alt+left, ctrl+alt+right, and ctrl+alt+down
[03:01] <xTorT> Starnestommy, ok, is there any benefit to installing off the text based install?
[03:01] <dlozarie> @craig-o, too scary. I'm not removing Windows for now. Altho I just boot into Windows whenever I need to update my iTunes podcasts. :D
[03:01] <Storrgie> Starnestommy: I love you.
[03:01] <xTorT> Starnestommy, and can I customize ther kernel?
[03:01] <craig-o> Marty81, I think you have to mount up the share, then symlink to the mount point
[03:02] <craig-o> dlozarie, it'll be awesome.  Do it UP!
[03:02] <Marty81> how exactly do I mount to a share?
[03:02] <dlozarie> how do I view my remaining disk space again? last time I checked, twas around <2GB.
[03:02] <Starnestommy> xTorT: the text-based installer is less prone to hardware problems and gives you more choice over which packages get installed.  Normally, you shouldn't compile your own kernel
[03:02] <craig-o> Marty81, if you can see files on a remote box, it's mounted
[03:02] <mynetdude> hey how do I get to a process explorer-like thing in ubuntu?
[03:02] <mynetdude> ah nvm... I know how
[03:02] <xTorT> Starnestommy, oh ok, so this is a hands-off installation
[03:03] <craig-o> dlozarie, man df.  something like df -h /
[03:03] <Marty81> ok, but then ln isn't working right.. cause I can create links, but it won't create a folder. instead it creates a broken file...
[03:03] <craig-o> mynetdude, ps -ef?
[03:03] <mvinsc> hey, half the time when i run firefox it doesn't have a window.
[03:03] <mvinsc> any thoughts??
[03:03] <craig-o> run it just the other half the time then.  aw haw haw.... sorry.
[03:03] <mvinsc> thanks
[03:04] <craig-o> I've been having firefox issues too; thinking of setting up 3 to see what happens
[03:04] <Marty81> I typed the following: ln -s "smb://.." "Folder"
[03:04] <craig-o> Marty81, nope, doesn't work that way.
[03:04] <greg78yo> I've been happily using Ubuntu Hardy for two months now, and today when I restarted it said "Grub error 18"  Any ideas?  It's a new system, so I don't think most of the search results apply to me.
[03:04] <Marty81> O.o   how then?
[03:05] <PunjabDaSher> craig-o, on my xp install, it says the share name of my folder is Amrit's Music
[03:05] <craig-o> Marty81, you have to have the remote filesystem mounted up (might already be--type  sudo mount and see if it is) then link to wher eit mounted.
[03:05] <PunjabDaSher> is that what i insert in the command u gave me
[03:05] <craig-o> PunjabDaSher, give 'er some
[03:05] <Marty81> ok.. lemme try that..
[03:05] <dlozarie> I typed df -h into a terminal window and some stuff appeared. not so good at reading this kind of data tho. Can anyone take a look at this and tell me how much space I have left? thx! http://paste.ubuntu.com/21715/
[03:06] <PunjabDaSher> ﻿sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.102/Amrit's Music /mnt
[03:06] <greg78yo> I tried this but it didn't help: http://odzangba.wordpress.com/2007/03/10/how-to-restore-grub-using-the-ubuntu-live-cd/
[03:06] <craig-o> Marty81, so, if the remote share is mounted up in /mnt and there's a folder in it called /mnt/spiffy  then you'd run a command something like ln -s /mnt/spiffy /home/marty/spiffy
[03:06] <Shubbar> how do i start network-manager?
[03:06] <Marty81> well, mnt is empty
[03:06] <PunjabDaSher> craig-o i entered that command in, and now its hung up in terminal at >
[03:07] <greg78yo> Anyone have ideas on this Grub error 18?
[03:07] <Moes> Wanting to upgrade Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 can ubuntuzilla be used in Ubuntu Gutsy
[03:07] <craig-o> Marty81, did you type sudo mount first to see if the samba share is mounted up anywhere?
[03:07] <Marty81> no samba share either...
[03:07] <craig-o> dlozarie, yep, you only have 2 gigs left on the root partition
[03:07] <onats> in avant window manager, how do i retain the loaded applications there
[03:07] <onats> or 'dock' icons there
[03:08] <greg78yo> no grub experts here I guess?
[03:08] <Shubbar> vipester, now how do i start network manager?
[03:08] <craig-o> PunjabDaSher, still hung?
[03:08] <onats> greg78yo, what is wrong with your grub?
[03:08] <Marty81> I'm actually rather new to Linux, so I'm more or less lost with mounting devices/network shares etc
[03:08] <greg78yo> onats: it says grub error 18 when I try to boot
[03:08] <dlozarie> Guys, can anyone take a look at this and tell me how much space I have left? sry, but I'm not good at reading this kind of data. tnx! http://paste.ubuntu.com/21715/
[03:08] <dlozarie> @craig-o, sorry I didn't see your reply.
[03:08] <craig-o> hey guys, I've got to get out.  I'll be back as craigbass76.  I'm getting confused and will let you all pm me so I can keep stuff straight
[03:08] <dlozarie> @craig-o, thanks.
[03:08] <craig-o> brb
[03:09] <onats> greg78yo, did you have any hardware changes recently?
[03:09] <Ikkebr2> where can I find arm-linux-gcc ?
[03:09] <country_main> I have a problem with hardy heron.  My double and single quote does not show up, I have to press either key twice
[03:09] <Marty81> well, I know how to mount a hard drive.. but no clue on network shares
[03:09] <greg78yo> onats: about 3 weeks ago I installed a new hard drive.  But it's been working fine up until today.
[03:10] <we||s> hi ya
[03:10] <dlozarie> guys, I have only 2gbs left on my Ubuntu partition. How can I increase the space?
[03:10] <craigbass1976> dlozarie, you're  not going to delete windows?
[03:10] <dlozarie> @craigbass, nah. not right now. maybe when I'm really, really sure I don't need it.
[03:11] <Storrgie> should i run a firewall in ubuntu?
[03:11] <craigbass1976> Marty81, ok, on the windows box, right click on whatever is shared out to get the actual share name.  Also, get the ip address of the box
[03:11] <Shubbar> what the command to start network manager?
[03:11] <we||s> how to change owner of folder and sub folder + all files contained at once?
[03:11] <craigbass1976> Storrgie, if you're not running any services, I wouldn't bother
[03:11] <Mo0oSaH> dlozarie: use gparted to resize partitions... you can also use a live cd
[03:11] <greg78yo> onats: any ideas?  Should I reinstall Ubuntu?
[03:11] <onats> http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB
[03:11] <onats> not just yet..i'm sure there's a way to fix that
[03:11] <Storrgie> craigbass1976: I'm just running a laptop... but im pretty 'sluttty' I visit alot of public networks
[03:12] <greg78yo> onats: I'll read the link you sent.  Let me know if you think of anything
[03:12] <NetEcho> anyone know if there is a awn-core-applets for Hardy?
[03:12] <Mo0oSaH> dlozarie: but make sure that the partitions you will resize are not mounted!
[03:12] <onats> yeah, will do
[03:12] <dlozarie> @Moosah, yeah I have a live CD here. how do I know they're not mounted?
[03:12] <Marty81> the path would be smb://192.168.0.7/sda  for the share
[03:12] <onats> is gparted safe in moving windows partitions?
[03:12] <greg78yo> onats: btw I tried this already but it didn't help: http://odzangba.wordpress.com/2007/03/10/how-to-restore-grub-using-the-ubuntu-live-cd/
[03:12] <craigbass1976> Storrgie, if you're not sharing anything out (nfs or samba) and not running apache, MySQL, etc, then I wouldn't bother if I were you
[03:12] <sean_> is it weird that I can only connect to my wpa network if im connected through ethernet to that same network?
[03:12] <country_main> help, my keyboard is not working properly
[03:13] <Marty81> netbios names don't work for some reason on this comp
[03:13] <IndyGunFreak> onats: its as safe as it can be, but that doesn't mean something goes wrong, you really need to make sure you have a backup
[03:13] <Mo0oSaH> dlozarie: if you boot into live CD, they wont be mounted automatically, alternatively if you don't see them showing up on your desktop then they are not mounted
[03:13] <onats> indygunfreak, don't have enough extra drives to perform a backup! heheh
[03:13] <IndyGunFreak> onats: well, then you're living on the edge..lol
[03:13] <onats> i have an old IDE harddrive, which i use to store my songs on itunes. suddenly some songs disappear!!
[03:13] <onats> lol
[03:14] <Mo0oSaH> IndyGunFreak: aren't most of us? could be a good offtopic discussion
[03:14] <dlozarie> @moosah, my two hard drives were on my desktop before, but now they don't show up.
[03:14] <craigbass1976> Marty81, in a terminal, type    sudo mount     and paste the output to rafb.net or some other pastebin
[03:14] <Moes> Can I upgrade to Firefox 3 using Ubuntuzilla
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> Mo0oSaH: don't know about you, i have two backups, 1 gets backed up every couple days, 1 gets updated about 1-2x a month
[03:14]  * craigbass1976 is googling for ubuntuzilla... never heard of it
[03:15] <webcamwonder> Moes: It is preferred that you update using the aptitude
[03:15] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntuzilla?
[03:15] <Mo0oSaH> dlozarie: then they are not mounted... you can also right click and unmount if they seem to be mounted
[03:15] <pinkster> does anybody know about a "tickless kernel"?
[03:15] <KyleK> nope
[03:15] <KyleK> do tell
[03:15] <dlozarie> @moosah, I right-clicked on one of the disks and an "unmount" option appeared. I should click this, right?
[03:15] <wers> I installed windows on another partition but I don't know how to put it on my menu.lst. any idea?
[03:15] <Mo0oSaH> dlozarie: yup!
[03:16] <Marty81>  http://rafb.net/p/6l49sf39.html
[03:16] <dlozarie> @moosah, yay! tnx! after that, what do I do next? :D
[03:16] <pinkster> kylek, about a tickless kernel?
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> wers: is windows on the first partition or the second partition, what?
[03:16] <wers> IndyGunFreak, fourht
[03:16] <wers> fourth
[03:16] <craigbass1976> Marty81, ok, so it's not already mounted.
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> wers: that could be all sorts of fun..no clue on that one
[03:17] <Mo0oSaH> dlozarie: i don't think ubuntu live cd has gparted installed. try to run it from terminal by sudo gparted, if it doesn't work then do sudo apt-get install gparted
[03:17] <KyleK> pinkster: looks neat
[03:17] <pinkster> well it has something to do with "config_no_hz"
[03:17] <Mo0oSaH> dlozarie: then just open it up and then it's fairly straight forward
[03:17] <MrRich> Hello
[03:17] <pinkster> but i dont know how to set it up
[03:17] <craigbass1976> what does something like sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.7/sda /mnt  do?
[03:17] <IndyGunFreak> Mo0oSaH: if it doesn't, sudo apt-get install gparted will install it.. but i think its on the hardy cd
[03:17] <KyleK> pinkster: yea its a compile option, look at how to compile a kernel
[03:17] <craigbass1976> Marty81, what does something like sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.7/sda /mnt  do?
[03:17] <dlozarie> @moosah, I'd said earlier that I right clicked on "one of the disks". Actually, I should've said, "one of the partitions" since I only have one hard disk partitioned into two. :D Imma enter that command now. thx.
[03:17] <pinkster> kylek: heh... compiling a kernel
[03:17] <KyleK> it might be really easy
[03:17] <onats> how do i add permanent icons to avant window manager?
[03:17] <pinkster> it would be an interesting project
[03:17] <Marty81> lemme try that
[03:18] <dlozarie> @mooosah, "sudo gparted" command not found. :(
[03:18] <craigbass1976> been so long since I've run windows, this samba stuff is weird to remember
[03:18] <pinkster> apparently it has something to do with power consumption
[03:18] <Mo0oSaH> dlozarie: make sure all the partitions on the harddrive are unmounted
[03:18] <KyleK> CONFIG what?
[03:18] <dlozarie> @moosah, okay, so both the partitions I unmount. tnx.
[03:18] <MrRich> question: in order to dual boot ubuntu / Xp do I need to install ubuntu?
[03:18] <craigbass1976> MrRich, yes
[03:18] <LesserRemarkable> is there a program available to defrag the hard drive from inside Ubuntu?
[03:18] <onats> mrrich, huh?
[03:18] <Mo0oSaH> MrRich: you need to install both to dual boot no?
[03:19] <Marty81> this: http://rafb.net/p/gyxiGN53.html
[03:19] <dlozarie> @mooosah, command still not found. :(
[03:19] <pinkster> mrrich, you could look at virtualization also
[03:19] <webcamwonder> LesserRemarkable, no. Not yet
[03:19] <Mo0oSaH> dlozarie: which command?
[03:19] <dlozarie> sudo gparted?
[03:19] <MrRich> I've done the section where it says try it out first but nothing is working
[03:19] <craigbass1976> MrRich, by definition, dual booting is having two OSs on the same box.  You could just play though and only run the livecd until you're ready to take the plunge
[03:19] <pinkster> mrrich, how do you mean it's not working?
[03:19] <Mo0oSaH> then install it with sudo apt-get install gparted
[03:19] <MrRich> it wants to load drivers and things...trying to get the wireless connection to work but can't seem to do that
[03:19] <craigbass1976> MrRich, linux and wireless still have a way to go
[03:19] <dlozarie> @mooosah, turns out gparted ain't installed yet. installing now. :D
[03:20] <pinkster> mrrich, hmm... so you're running the live cd? if yo do install, you should try to connect with ethernet when you do it in case you have to troubleshoot your wireless
[03:20] <MrRich> hmm I can't even get the ethernet to connect with XP I'm on wireless...laptop
[03:20] <craigbass1976> Oh, HEY ANYONE!!!!!  is smbfs now cifs in Ubuntu too?
[03:21] <pinkster> mrrich, what sort of laptop is it?
[03:21] <MrRich> Gateway
[03:21] <KyleK> craigbass1976: maybe
[03:21] <ianliu_88> is there a program which tries to read a text from an image and output it as a text?
[03:21] <dlozarie> @mooosah, I'm in gparted now, but I can't click on the resize button.
[03:21] <craigbass1976> Marty81, you can try cifs instead of smbfs.  I remember that replacement happening in Fedora, but didn't know it arrived in Ubuntu yet
[03:21] <Mo0oSaH> MrRich: I have Gateway, what model is your?
[03:21] <pinkster> mrrich, you would probably have to find out what sort of wireless card it is
[03:21] <KyleK> oh
[03:21] <greg78yo> \connect irc.gnu.org
[03:21] <MrRich> mx6214
[03:21] <KyleK> craigbass1976: you have to get the smbfs package separately i think
[03:21] <craigbass1976> Marty81, -t  cifs  rather than -t smbfs   rest of the command is the came
[03:21] <Marty81> ok.. let me try that...
[03:22] <Mo0oSaH> dlozarie: I'm not too familiar with gparted options, maybe someone can help to continue you from here...
[03:22] <craigbass1976> KyleK, he's not trying to share, just mount up a windows share
[03:22] <IronJa1> dlozarie: is the partition you want to resize unmounted?
[03:22] <ianliu_88> I scanned some texts sheets and I wanted to convert them to text instead of image... Is there an application which would do this for me?
[03:22] <dlozarie> @mooosah, thank you for the help! ^_^
[03:22] <Marty81> same error
[03:22] <KyleK> smbfs isn't samba
[03:22] <dlozarie> @IronJa1, yes I've unmounted both my partitions. :D
[03:22] <MrRich> Mo0oSaH MX6214
[03:22] <greg78yo> I'm still stuck on this grub error 18.  Any ideas?  onats?
[03:22] <webcamwonder> ianliu_88 you need to look for an OCR application
[03:22] <craigbass1976> PunjabDaSher, did you catch that?  smbfs might not be what you need to type.  -t cifs might be it
[03:22] <ianliu_88> webcamwonder: Ok, I will search
[03:22] <ianliu_88> webcamwonder: thanks
[03:22] <alakdan> how do you make debmirror work for this apt sources.list entry deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/geubuntu/ hardy/
[03:23] <webcamwonder> ianuliu_88 no problems
[03:23] <onats> greg78yo, what happened when you ran the fix GRUB steps?
[03:23] <craigbass1976> PunjabDaSher, Ctrl C if it's still hung and it will quit out of the command you had running
[03:23] <onats> im no expert, but i'm just here to talk to you. heheh
[03:23] <greg78yo> onats: from the link I sent.  I followed those steps and grub didn't compalin, but I restarted and still got the same error 18
[03:24] <pinkster> mrrich, one option would be to try ndiswrapper, which uses windows drivers inside linux
[03:24] <IronJa1> dlozarie sry, got online some secs ago. can you do anything else withe these partitions? deleting, format to other fileformats or so? (sry 4 my english)
[03:24] <greg78yo> onats: Is there a grub irc I should try?
[03:24] <dlozarie> @IronJa1, what do you mean? like, can I delete files on the partitions?
[03:24] <Mo0oSaH> greg78yo: grub irc?
[03:24] <greg78yo> Mo0oSaH: How do I get there?
[03:25] <pinkster> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper ... but you'll have to have an internet connection to download the program you need or you could burn it to a cd in advance
[03:25] <onats> i think he's looking for a channel. you can try #linux
[03:25] <Mo0oSaH> greg78yo: What is grub irc?
[03:25] <KyleK> alakdan: did you see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror
[03:25] <craigbass1976> Mo0oSaH,   /join #grub

[03:26] <Mo0oSaH> craigbass1976: I know what grub is but what is grub irc?
[03:26] <craigbass1976> mynetdude, are you using two // in the path like you just pasted here?
[03:26] <Marty81> craigbass1976, any other ideas on mounting network shares? your last option gave me the same error...
[03:26] <luke-dex> does anyone know if this would work with linux ????  http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12936~r.83188615
[03:26] <mynetdude> craigbass1976 am I supposed to?
[03:26] <craigbass1976> Mo0oSaH, the irc grub room
[03:26] <craigbass1976> mynetdude, no
[03:26] <dlozarie> help, I can't resize my partitions from gparted. both partitions unmounted already. :|
[03:26] <Mo0oSaH> craigbass1976: ah I see..
[03:27] <mynetdude> craigbass1976 no, I'm not using //
[03:27] <alakdan> KyleK, I have been using debmirror for a while now, but usually there is a parameter for the 'section' part. :) Will read the url you gave me and might find something that can help me :) thanks.
[03:27] <mynetdude> I'm trying to move the java 6u6 JRE runtime from my home folder to the /usr/lib/jvm
[03:27] <KyleK> alakdan: skip down to the shell script, its got too many darn comments ;)
[03:27] <mynetdude> I even tried to do it via the GUI, and I get a permission denied so... this is really starting to not work out very well
[03:27] <craigbass1976> Marthy, bleah... I don't know without sitting there.  I haven't got a windows box to play with and give you a play by play, or I would.  Could be I'm forgetting a step
[03:27] <pinkster> lula-dex, not sure... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam might provide some info
[03:28] <mynetdude> I really wish I could just copy/move as I please in GUI
[03:28] <webcamwonder> mynetdude
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: why can't you?
[03:28] <webcamwonder> mynetdude are you trying to move a folder?
[03:28] <pinkster> dlozarie, are you using the livecd or from within ubuntu?
[03:28] <mynetdude> no I'm trying to move a .bin file to a folder
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: so move it
[03:28] <dlozarie> @pinkster, within ubuntu. Should I use the livecd?
[03:28] <mynetdude> IndyGunFreak because this freak needs permissions!
[03:28] <webcamwonder> mynetdude are you using a GUI based file manager>?
[03:28] <mynetdude> IndyGunFreak I can't
[03:28] <KyleK> mv file somewhere/else hehe
[03:28] <craigbass1976> What's the gnome equivilent of explorer?
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: open a terminal gksudo nautilus.. then move the file
[03:28] <DrAkOdE> hello!
[03:29] <KyleK> craigbass1976: ooo ooo nautilus
[03:29] <craigbass1976> ahh nautilus... right
[03:29] <mynetdude> webcamwonder I guess? I'm using places>computer>filesystem>folder
[03:29] <greg78yo> I found a help page that says: "This can be circumvented by creating a boot partition at the beginning of the disk that is completely within the first 1023 cylinders of the harddrive. This partition will contain the kernel."
[03:29] <DrAkOdE> how game it is good now?
[03:29] <pinkster> dlozarie, well the live cd might work better
[03:29] <webcamwonder> mynetdude press alt+f2
[03:29] <greg78yo> That sounds pretty complicated though
[03:29] <DrAkOdE> at chess?
[03:29] <webcamwonder> mynetdude type in gksu nautilus
[03:29] <mynetdude> isn't nautilus for ftp?
[03:29] <KyleK> greg78yo: really?
[03:29] <dlozarie> @pinkster, okay, inserting live cd into drive.
[03:29] <webcamwonder> mynetdude and key in your password, and move to the location of /bin
[03:29] <craigbass1976> mynetdude, yeah, what he said.  I couldn't remember the name of the "explorer" program
[03:29] <pinkster> dlozarie, i mean the gparted livecd...
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: no..
[03:29] <KyleK> just create the first partition smallish
[03:29] <luke-dex> thanks pinkster
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> gksudo nautilus and move the file, thats all there is to it.
[03:29] <webcamwonder> mynetdude nautlius can explore your files and folders on the hdd
[03:29] <pinkster> luke-dex, np
[03:30] <dlozarie> @pinkster, oh! I thought you meant the ubuntu cd! lol. no, I don't have a live cd.
[03:30] <alakdan> KyleK, yeah. didnt find anything useful though since whats described is mirroring the usual ubuntu repository :(
[03:30] <DrAkOdE> what game it's good? from chess? between chess master in winbug?
[03:30]  * craigbass1976 didn't know you could ftp with nautilus...
[03:30] <mynetdude> cool, but why can't I use the built in gui? I'll use nautilus for the sake of this
[03:30] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: nautilus is the built in GUI
[03:30] <captainrdbeard> nautilus is the built in gui
[03:30] <DrAkOdE> i'm me english is fuck, i'm spain speak
[03:30] <pinkster> dlozarie, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[03:30] <craigbass1976> mynetdude, I think nautilus IS the GUI you speak of.
[03:30] <greg78yo> KyleK: Swap is my first partition right now.  So I guess I would delete it, create the little boot partition and make that remaining free space back into swap?
[03:30] <IndyGunFreak> gksudo is giving your root access, which is allowing yout o move the file
[03:30] <mynetdude> oh... well I am using nautilous then
[03:30] <webcamwonder> as long as you are using GNOME environment :)
[03:30] <Wazz> is there a cd of ubuntu that comes with no gui just the media support amongst other things?
[03:30] <craigbass1976> mynetdude, when you click on the places menu and look at some folders.... I think that's nautilus
[03:30] <DrAkOdE> HELLO!
[03:31] <pinkster> wazz, you mean codecs and stuff?
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> craigbass1976: yes it is
[03:31] <DrAkOdE> what game is good, from chess?
[03:31] <Wazz> yeah
[03:31] <craigbass1976> eh?
[03:31] <mynetdude> alright let me try that
[03:31] <peterpan098> how do i install backtrack3 to hdd?
[03:31] <Mo0oSaH> DrAkOdE: the chess that comes with gnome!
[03:31] <peterpan098> anyone know?
[03:31] <mynetdude> cool and it didn't ask for a pw
[03:31] <pinkster> wazz, well you could install ubuntu server and then install the codecs... but you wouldn't immediately be able to watch or listen to anything
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: probably cuz you were logged in as root vbery recently
[03:32] <unavailable> how do i find out what group a device (such as /dev/net/tun) belongs to??
[03:32] <dlozarie> hey, guys, how many megabytes is 89038848 bytes equal to? lol
[03:32] <Wazz> there is no minimal install?
[03:32] <brad_> I just updated my laptop (running xubuntu) and it got a part way through before wifi dropped.  I installed the packages I could fetch, and restarted cuz it said i needed to... now it seems my computer doesn't recognize my wireless card
[03:32] <IndyGunFreak> lol...
[03:32] <pinkster> dlozarie, 890 I think
[03:32] <craigbass1976> dlozarie, divide by 1024 twice
[03:32] <webcamwonder> dlozarie divide by 1024 to get GB
[03:32] <peterpan098> backtrack 3 anyone?
[03:32] <Shubbar> nm-applet does not start network manager
[03:32] <greg78yo> Ok, I made a 64MB ext3 partition
[03:32] <pinkster> dlozarie, 90-ish
[03:32] <brad_> no shubbar
[03:32] <greg78yo> Now how do I move grub onto it?
[03:32] <IndyGunFreak> dlozarie: google how many bytes in a megabyte.. and there's tons of conversion tables... most you just enter the amount of bytes, and it pops up the number of mb
[03:32] <Marty81> so, how do I mount my network share? smbfs and cifs don't work here...
[03:33] <KyleK> greg78yo: yea
[03:33] <mynetdude> yay thanks guys
[03:33] <Ashfire908> Despite setting "net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=0" in sysctl.conf, my system after fully booting has net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding set to 1 (On). How do I get it to keep the setting from sysctl? (More of sovling the issue of the thing changing it, not manually running it in /etc/rc.local)
[03:33] <IronJa1> dlozarie: 86952 MB ca. 84.9GB
[03:33] <mynetdude> so why can't I have this same kind of privs as a user instead of root?
[03:33] <DrAkOdE> peterpan098: u need create 2 partition on u hdd, n after install, for install u need goes to main menu, n search install on this menu...
[03:33] <craigbass1976> dlozarie, you could also put a -h in commands to give you human readable output
[03:33] <xTorT> dlozarie, are you talking storage, or throughput?
[03:33] <unavailable> dlozarie google "xxx bytes = megabytes
[03:33] <Shubbar> brad_ , so how do i start network manager
[03:33] <mynetdude> oh well u guys are going fast... too fast for me :(
[03:33] <greg78yo> KyleK: Should the mount point for my new partition say /boot?  Should I give it a boot flag?
[03:33] <dlozarie> @unavailable, tnx! ^_^
[03:33] <mynetdude> thanks :)
[03:33] <webcamwonder> mynetdude You do have the privilages
[03:33] <webcamwonder> mynetdude It was just that you had not passed the privileges to the application you were running
[03:33] <mynetdude> then howcome I couldn't move a file into a folder I created via terminal?
[03:33] <xTorT> throughput is usually base 10 where storage is base 2
[03:34] <webcamwonder> mynetdude make sure you put sudo before that
[03:34] <webcamwonder> mynetdude that would give the rights necessaryu
[03:34] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: you do have the privliges when you enter the password, this is why you don't get molested on linux like you do on Windows, because not every user automatically has "root" access
[03:34] <DrAkOdE> www.backtrack.blogspot.com is a blog from linux... mmm it's on spanish and english
[03:34] <mynetdude> webcamwonder yeah I had to do sudo to make the folder to begin with
[03:34] <craigbass1976> mynetdude, if you don't have permission to write or read frm either location, it's pfffffffft.  no love in terminal land
[03:35] <Herissy> I want to copy all my files (video/audio/stuff) to my windows drive wile checking for dups how do I do it. over the network... rsync?
[03:35] <DrAkOdE> www.blackxploit.blogspot.com is a blog from linux... mmm it's on spanish and english
[03:35]  * mynetdude hates terminal
[03:35] <webcamwonder> agreed... if you don't have permissions, sudo won't help you
[03:35] <mynetdude> well why not have it ASK for a password in the GUI
[03:35] <wers> how come, when I tried burning using Brasero, it said that my blank cd doesnt have enough space so I can't burn but I managed to burn the same file using nautilus' burning feature?
[03:35] <dlozarie> okay, I'm downloading the .iso file of gparted live cd. I just burn it onto a CD-RW right?
[03:35] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: if you use gksudo it will ask you for a password in GUI
[03:35] <unavailable> dlozarie actually  use ### bytes in megabytes
[03:35] <mynetdude> I'm almost regretting this now
[03:35] <Marty81> how do I mount my network share? smbfs and cifs don't work here... anyone?
[03:35] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: if you'd just listen, you would understand,
[03:35] <greg78yo> I'm going to guess the new boot partition should have the boot flag.  Any objections?
[03:35] <cake> DCC SEND UBUNTUSUCKSUBUNTUSUCKSUBUNTUSUCKSUBUNTUSUCKSUBUNTUSUCKSUBUNTUSUCKS
[03:35] <mynetdude> IndyGunFreak every time I want to do it?
[03:35] <dlozarie> @unavailable, I've figured it out already. it's around 84mb. :D
[03:35] <Shubbar> Can anyone tell me how to start Network Manager? I just removed wicd
[03:35] <unavailable> rofl
[03:36] <pinkster> mynetdude, what are you trying to do?
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: everytime you want to do what?
[03:36] <xTorT> is it possible to just dl ubuntu that is already installed via ftp, and then just installing the bootloader?
[03:36] <pinkster> heh
[03:36] <unavailable> indygunfreak    how do i find out what group a device (such as /dev/net/tun) belongs to??
[03:36] <wers> /dev/sda4 is hd(0, what?)
[03:36] <captainrdbeard> Marty81: what os are you trying to mount on?
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude:  you said you just wanted to move a folder...
[03:36] <mynetdude> well, yeah but if I want to do it later I'll have to run gksu nautilus
[03:36] <greg78yo> I think I'm just going to reinstall Ubuntu.  This is beyond me
[03:36] <Herissy> lol
[03:36] <xTorT> i guess I am asking is it possible to download your installation via ftp and then just install a bootloader to make it work?
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: yes
[03:36]  * mynetdude sighs... forget it... we accomplished something thats all that matters
[03:37] <mynetdude> the point is... I shouldn't have to go to command line to get it to give me something special in GUI
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> unavailable: navigate tot he folder in question.. in this case, /dev/net/tun.. right click, properties, and the permissions tab
[03:37] <unavailable> aah
[03:37] <Marty81> captainrdbeard, it's a Samba share from another Ubuntu PC, with ntfs on that disk...
[03:37] <mynetdude> why not the whole filesystem? :P
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: the point is, thats why you don';t get screwed by hackers, retards, etc under Linux
[03:37] <webcamwonder> mynetdude you only need to gksu nautlius if you are essentially moving "system files"
[03:37] <mynetdude> I agree... which it could still ask for permission auth via GUI rather than fiddle with the terminal
[03:38] <brad_> after an update, my computer cannot see my wireless card, ifconfig -a just shows lo
[03:38] <pinkster> mynetdude, well everything in linux is really based in the command-line... a lot of linux guis are kind of incomplete (which is why people always go to the terminal)
[03:38] <mynetdude> true
[03:38] <mynetdude> ah
[03:38] <captainrdbeard> Marty81: You need to use nfs
[03:39] <Hav0c> hey, anyone use mojo to share itunes libraries? pm me
[03:39] <pinkster> mynetdude, if you are using nautilus as root you could right click on the folder and change the permissions that way
[03:40] <brad_> is there a way to revert back to before you updated your last update?
[03:40] <Marty81> captainrdbeard, same error as before: http://rafb.net/p/OT30gB43.html
[03:40] <Marty81> captainrdbeard: with or without the "smb:"
[03:41] <_2> error message "your session only lasted less than 10 seconds..."   anyone want to trouble shoot that ?
[03:41]  * IndyGunFreak would never brag he had a 10sec session
[03:41] <Marty81> lol
[03:41] <Hav0c> LOL
[03:42]  * _2 would if he was that quick ?
[03:42] <IndyGunFreak> lol, certainly wouldn't announce it in a channel w/ 1200 people.. :)
[03:42] <IndyGunFreak> Marty81: did you restart right after starting up or something?
[03:42] <webcamwonder> That's what she said? :)
[03:42] <captainrdbeard> Marty81, what command are you using to mount
[03:42] <IndyGunFreak> webcamwonder: :)
[03:42] <_2> now anyone want to trouble shoot that issue ?
[03:43] <IndyGunFreak> _2: well what brought the error on, did you restart very quickly after booting up, or what?
[03:43] <Mo0oSaH> lolll
[03:43] <Marty81> captainrdbeard: "sudo mount -f nfs //192.168.0.7/sda /mnt" that's what craigbass1976 told me..
[03:43] <webcamwonder> Marty81 Did you read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=280473
[03:43] <ali1> after i use cube it slowly goes back in to the desktop...where can i ajust this because it wan't liek this before

[03:44] <Marty81> not yet
[03:44] <_2> IndyGunFreak running dapper btw
[03:44] <webcamwonder> Marty81 I believe it has the commands that you are searching for
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> _2: sorry, i really don't know what that means
[03:44] <Chrysalis> do m-audio cards work in ubuntu? the entry for m-audio in the hardware wiki is completely blank
[03:44] <Marty81> captainrdbeard, cool.. thanks, let me look that up..
[03:45] <brad_> what would an integrated wireless card start with lspci?
[03:45] <_2> IndyGunFreak ok.     anyone else want to trouble shoot failing x session ?
[03:45] <captainrdbeard> Marty81, np, sorry i couldn't help much
[03:45] <IndyGunFreak> brad_: most likely... it should come up in lspci
[03:45] <Marty81> no worries..
[03:46] <brad_> indygunfreak, yeah i'm trying to see if my comp actually sees the card, but im not sure what i should be looking for
[03:46] <_2> it seems to be doing that for all accounts.
[03:46] <IndyGunFreak> !pastebin | brad_ pastebin your lspci and i'll take a look for you
[03:47] <arooni> is there a way of maxmizing a window using a key combo?
[03:47] <_2> maybe if i just anounce that an LTS security update borked my xorg   it will get more response ?
[03:47] <arooni> is there a way of maxmizing a window using a key combo?  (ubuntu hardy) ... running gnome + compiz etc...
[03:47] <KyleK> woot
[03:47] <Naraku> is there an option available to install from ftp?

[03:48] <KyleK> whats wrong with http?
[03:48] <jgoo> arooni, that is an excellent question, asl ong as there is a plugin or something, I'd like that too... rat poison functionality in compiz...
[03:48] <KyleK> Naraku: not clear what you want, you want the iso from ftp or you want the software repository with ftp
[03:48] <webcamwonder> arooni you need to check your compiz settings for a direct shortcut... it should be something like ALt+F5-9 keys, I am not sure
[03:48] <LtL> arooni: are you using GDM Gnome? alt+F9 and alt-F10. min/max windows.
[03:49] <mynetdude> alright... how about this

[03:49] <PunjabDaSher> Hey guys, need some help with a home sharing network
[03:49] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: lol, java is in the freakin repositories, what are you messing w/ the source for?
[03:49] <Naraku> KyleK, I want to download / and then just run grub-install and have a running system
[03:49] <dlozarie> help, how do I resize partitions with gparted? I can't click on the resize button here.
[03:49] <PunjabDaSher> oh and hey whats up mynetdude
[03:49] <mynetdude> IndyGunFreak because frostwire won't work correctly with 1.5 or 1.6 and the repos only gives me 64bit I believe
[03:49] <webcamwonder> !samba | PunjabDaSher
[03:50] <IndyGunFreak> dlozarie: they must be unmounted, are they unmounted?
[03:50] <KyleK> oh so debootstrap so hrm
[03:50] <mynetdude> I'm installing the i586 version
[03:50] <QAH> Hello everyone!
[03:50] <jgoo> cheers LtL , I was just checking to see what the short cuts were! asl ong as we are on this - is there a 'restore (unmaximise) shortcut?
[03:50] <KyleK> Naraku: i dont use ftp personally so im clueless
[03:50] <PunjabDaSher> yea i have samba correctly installed
[03:50] <dlozarie> @IndyGunFreak, yes they're unmounted. still unresizeable tho.
[03:50] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: are you using 64bit ubuntu?
[03:50] <pinkster> hello qah
[03:50] <_2> nobody eeh
[03:50] <mynetdude> IndyGunFreak yes
[03:50] <webcamwonder> PunjabDaSher and did you try "sharing"?
[03:50] <CTho> how do I figure out what nvidia driver i'm currently using for my integrated nforce graphics?
[03:50] <PunjabDaSher> what do you define as sharing
[03:50] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: word to thewise, the chances of you getting that to work, are about one in 12 quadrillion.
[03:50] <IronJa1> dlozarie: what file format do this partitions use?
[03:50] <QAH> I have a question for you guys.
[03:51] <webcamwonder> PunjabDaSher What do you wish to accomplish, share a directory from your ubuntu?
[03:51] <mynetdude> IndyGunFreak getting what to work? Java?
[03:51] <brad_> heres the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/21718/
[03:51] <dlozarie> the ff. partitions appear: /dev/sda1, unallocated, /dev/sda3, /dev/sda5/, /dev/sda6/, /dev/sda2
[03:51] <PunjabDaSher> the network is setup fine so that i can use other windows machines to get files off my xp box
[03:51] <pinkster> qah, what is your question?
[03:51] <QAH> Am I able to use the desktop effects with the Ubuntu 7.10(Gusty Gibbon) live cd?
[03:51] <PunjabDaSher> no i wish to access directories from my xp box
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: yes.,
[03:51] <dlozarie> filesystems: ntfs, "unallocated", extended, linux-swap. sda1 and sda2 use ntfs.
[03:51] <imastoopiduser> having no luck pairing my jawbone  to hardy with belkin bluetooth usb adapter, has anyone got this to work?
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: and frostwire for that matter. it works fine on 32bit.. but i've yet to see anyone get it working on 64bit.
[03:51] <mynetdude> IndyGunFreak well I'll just install the 32bit ubuntu then
[03:51] <webcamwonder> PunjabDaSher open nautlius and navigate to smb://[ip address of you xp pc]
[03:51] <Marty81> well, it gives the same error again: http://rafb.net/p/OT30gB43.html
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: you shoulda done that to begin with
[03:52] <pinkster> qah, I believe the live cd is supposed to be identical to how an installed system would at first work
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> brad_: did you figure it out?
[03:52] <mynetdude> IndyGunFreak well I didn't know how was I supposed to know 64bit was crap?
[03:52] <pinkster> qah, so, as long as your graphics are compatible, yes
[03:52] <brad_> no, no i didn't
[03:52] <mynetdude> at the time I had no idea I could use 32bit
[03:52] <dlozarie> @IndyGunFreak, ﻿filesystems: ntfs, "unallocated", extended, linux-swap. sda1 and sda2 use ntfs.
[03:52] <NewbMan> Please help. Can anyone help with getting layla20 soundcard to work?
[03:52] <PunjabDaSher> doesnt work webcam
[03:52] <QAH> pinkster: Here is the trouble though....
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: maybe use google?.. 64bit issues are well documented on numerous sites
[03:52] <PunjabDaSher> however i am able to ping the machine oddly enough
[03:52] <afallenhope> what are the keys for the desktop cube?
[03:52] <webcamwonder> PunjabDaSher Is there any firewall blocking the sharing from XP?
[03:53] <PunjabDaSher> none whatsoever
[03:53] <pinkster> qah, hmm?
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> brad_: go to the pastebin site that you're about to get a link to, and pastebin your lspci from the terminal, givfe me the link to your pastebin, and i'll tfind your wireless device for you..
[03:53] <IronJa1> dlozarie: which one of these do you want to resize? (/dev/sdaX and format)
[03:53] <PunjabDaSher> even the windows firewall is off
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> !pastebin | brad_
[03:53] <gkelly> I have downloaded 8.04 alternate CD and popped it into my 6.06 desktop. I added the CD as a source and then reloaded, marked all upgrades, and hit apply. Should I come out the other end with hardy?? or am I in for a surprise?
[03:53] <mynetdude> IndyGunFreak also... 64bit any OS has issues afaik but anyway
[03:53] <mynetdude> no big deal
[03:53] <webcamwonder> PunjabDaSher are you sure you are entering the correct IP address?
[03:53] <PunjabDaSher> yep
[03:53] <dlozarie> @IronJa1, /dev/sda2, ntfs.
[03:53] <PunjabDaSher> it is 192.168.1.102
[03:53] <mynetdude> good thing is it won't take long to get up to speed
[03:53] <PunjabDaSher> pings fine
[03:53] <mynetdude> its not like windows
[03:54] <IndyGunFreak> mynetdude: exactly.. so thats why yhou shoudl have investigated it further
[03:54] <QAH> pinkster: When I enable the special effects, it says it has to enable a certian Nvidia driver. Allow it to do that, it installs the right packages. It then tells me to restart, and when I restart and reboot linux, it's like the settings don't save. When I shut down, all of the settings are back to default.
[03:54] <PunjabDaSher> doesnt work when i try to smb://
[03:54] <Naraku> KyleK,  thanks anyways
[03:54] <webcamwonder> PunjabDaSher I think I am very very dumb... try //192.168.1.102
[03:54] <pinkster> qah, the live cd does not save data (unless you're using it with a usb stick)
[03:54] <brad_> like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/21718/
[03:54] <PunjabDaSher> k
[03:54] <IndyGunFreak> brad_: lol, like that.. hangon  asec
[03:55] <QAH> pinkster: So that means I can't enable the desktop effects?
[03:55] <enaner> IndyGunFreak,  did you get my msg? :)
[03:55] <PunjabDaSher> no such file or directory, same error as when i try to smb://
[03:55] <pinkster> qah, well if install it on your hard drive you probably would be able to
[03:55] <IndyGunFreak> enaner: yes, and i ignored it, just like i do all people that Pm me w/o asking
[03:55] <IndyGunFreak> brad_: doesn't look like your device is getting detected properly
[03:55] <afallenhope> What's the command for the cube? Like what's the keymap
[03:55] <pinkster> qah, if you have a usb thumb drive you could test it out... see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[03:55] <webcamwonder> PunjabDaSher give me a minute, I have never tried that myself
[03:55] <PunjabDaSher> k
[03:55] <QAH> pinkster: Could you put a : after my name. When you put , it doesn't highlight it. I didn't see ou type back
[03:56] <darthanubis> I have edge flip for the cube enabled but dragging a window to the edge does not flip the cube
[03:56] <PunjabDaSher> it is supposed to work, from what i have gleaned around forums, etc.
[03:56] <pinkster> qah: ah, sry... I just wrote something
[03:56] <dlozarie> @IndyGunFreak, I want to resize /dev/sda1 (ntfs file format) since this is where Ubuntu is installed and I want to get more disk space for Ubuntu. what do I do?
[03:56] <PunjabDaSher> the smb:// that is
[03:56] <QAH> pinkster: Okay I see it.
[03:56] <IndyGunFreak> dlozarie: are you on a live CD, or on an actual install
[03:56] <gkelly> PunjabDaSher: I just came in. Are you trying to go from a mac to a samba share?
[03:56] <QAH> pinkster: Can I just copy the files off of the live cd onto the thumb drive and boot like that?
[03:57] <webcamwonder> PunjabDaSher goto terminal and type in smbclient -L [ip of xp] -U%
[03:57] <IronJa1> dlozarie: you can't resize ntfs with ubuntu (as far as i know). it's not supported very well
[03:57] <Marty81> captainrdbeard, ok, smbmount works :)
[03:57] <dlozarie> @IndyGunFreak, I'm on an actual install of Ubuntu.
[03:57] <PunjabDaSher> gkelly, i am trying to access files on my xp machine from my ubuntu comp
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> dlozarie: you'll likely need to do this from either an Ubuntu live CD, or download Partedmagic live cd
[03:57] <gkelly> oh ok, nevermind then.
[03:58] <dlozarie> @IndyGunFreak, I have an Ubuntu CD here, can I use that?
[03:58] <pinkster> qah: it will be done for you automatically.. files created and differences from how the system started will be saved on the thumb drive (but you'll probably have to dedicate the thumb drive solely for use with ubuntu)
[03:58] <ali1> how can i make my cube not zoom back slowly when i stop insead jus flick back liek it use to
[03:58] <PunjabDaSher> webcam, it just hangs up
[03:58] <IndyGunFreak> dlozarie: it would probably work much better
[03:58] <webcamwonder> alil You can tweak compiz via the Compiz Manager
[03:58] <IndyGunFreak> dlozarie: i suspect you're trying to resize a partition, that is in use, which you just can't do
[03:58] <ali1> because i didn't hav this problem bore
[03:58] <ali1> before*
[03:58] <kenny> how to change the mouse cursor a little  big on ubuntu?
[03:59] <webcamwonder> PunjabDaSher is it still working?
[03:59] <PunjabDaSher> Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding
[03:59] <PunjabDaSher> protocol negotiation failed
[03:59] <Herissy> compizconfig in term also
[03:59] <dlozarie> @IndyGunFreak, doh! You can't resize a used partition? ne-hoo! so how do I give Ubuntu more disk space to use?
[03:59] <ali1> before after letting go of the cube it went directly to the window not slowly
[03:59] <Herissy> dlozarie : use gparted
[03:59] <webcamwonder> PunjabDaSher make sure that samba is correctly enabled on your xp
[03:59] <ali1> can any1 help me out here
[03:59] <IndyGunFreak> dlozarie: boot eithe your ubuntu live CD and use gparted, or boot a Partedmagic live CD(my personal choice),l and use it
[03:59] <webcamwonder> alil You can tweak compiz via the Compiz Manager
[04:00] <mynetdude> maybe 32bit ubuntu will give me better permissions control too, and perhaps connect to my windows shares
[04:00] <PunjabDaSher> it is, i can access the files from other xp machine and vista machines
[04:00] <dlozarie> btdubs, I still have three Ubuntu stickers left. where do I put them?
[04:00] <Brad__> Hello, I have a dilema in my life. I can't describe the specifics in one IRC session so do anyone of you have some random advice/suggestions for me to solve the problem?
[04:00] <mynetdude> dlozarie save them?
[04:01] <dlozarie> @IndyGunFreak, alright so I've put the Ubuntu CD I requested into the drive. what's next? :)
[04:01] <mynetdude> brad_ try #defocus, lots of good folks there for that :) truly
[04:01] <imastoopiduser> anyone in this channel have bluetooth running on ubuntu?
[04:01] <IndyGunFreak> dlozarie: do what i do, go to Best Buy, and put them on microsoft boxes
[04:01] <Wazz> stick them on vista boxes in best buy
[04:01] <Herissy> Brad__ : whats the problem
[04:01] <IndyGunFreak> dlozarie: restart?
[04:01] <Wazz> lol
[04:01] <IronJa1> dlorazie: reboot
[04:01] <mynetdude> dlozarie follow directions, it can't be that hard
[04:01] <dlozarie> @IndyGunFreak, okay, rebooting. Fingers crossed.
[04:01] <genii> IndyGunFreak: I did that here and the Geek Squad dudes basically jumped me like a SWAT team
[04:01] <mynetdude> Wazz good idea!
[04:02] <Herissy> imastoopiduser : I use a bluetooth mouse
[04:02] <IndyGunFreak> genii: lol.. thats great
[04:02] <mynetdude> :P
[04:02] <Wazz> or stick them on the display computers
[04:02] <Marty81> is there a way to auto mount smb shares upon boot up? (smbmount command) Sessions perhaps?
[04:02] <LesserRemarkable> Brad_ what sort of dilema?
[04:02] <Herissy> not my favorite thing to use but its better than the touchpad for long periods of time.
[04:03] <imastoopiduser> im trying to get a bluetooth headset working have tried that?
[04:03] <dabaR> Do you know how to authenticate to a VNC server that uses NTLM auth?
[04:03] <webcamwonder> PunjabDaSher I am all out, maybe someone else might be able to help you
[04:03] <Herissy> only in windows.
[04:03] <PunjabDaSher> damn
[04:03] <PunjabDaSher> thanks anyways
[04:04] <mynetdude> bluetooth mouse are nice but are spendy
[04:04] <Herissy> indeed
[04:04] <mynetdude> I have one, the nice thing about BT is no extra parts needed like a dongle or adapter
[04:04] <Herissy> but it intereferes (sometimes) with my wireless connection.
[04:04] <imastoopiduser> Herrissy: Ive been clean for two weeks!
[04:04] <mynetdude> I would actually prefer BT over USB for keyboard/mice but they are horibbly expensive
[04:05] <ali1> is there a way i can get compiz fusion to restore all iys settings
[04:05] <mynetdude> orly? didn't know it can interfere
[04:05] <enaner> mynetdude,  get wireless ... theyr like 30 bux
[04:05] <enaner> mouse and keyboard
[04:05] <Herissy> imastoopiduser : clean from what?
[04:05] <QAH> pinkster: Hey pinkster.
[04:05] <pinkster> qah: yeah?
[04:05] <imastoopiduser> windows
[04:05] <Herissy> lol
[04:05] <mynetdude> enaner thats what I mean... usb wireless kb/mice still suck you still need to plug in the receivers and all that... bluetooth doesn't need all that
[04:05] <QAH> pinkster: Is the flash drive - linux stuff going to mess with my main harddrive?
[04:06] <webcamwonder> !find compiz
[04:06] <dlozarie> Uhm, I'm back, I must've done something wrong since nothing happened (no CD menu came up or anything.)
[04:06] <pinkster> qah, it shouldnt (unless you actually install)
[04:06] <webcamwonder> !find compiz-manager
[04:06] <mynetdude> for BT all you need is to pair it up if its built into your PC/laptop
[04:06] <brad_> does the update manager have an internal log?
[04:06] <webcamwonder> !info compiz-manager
[04:06] <Herissy> lol my laptop is missing bluetooth connectivity so I still needed a dongle... grr.
[04:06] <QAH> pinkster: So this is basically like the live cd, but booting from the flash drive.
[04:06] <enaner> mynetdude, well you just plug in wireless to the back, and then you forget about it ... which is no big deal. UNLESS you use a laptop
[04:07] <Herissy> I found this out AFTER I spent the money for the mouse.
[04:07] <kenny> does cursor mouse have large one on ubuntu?
[04:07] <webcamwonder> alil do you have the compiz manager installed?
[04:07] <pinkster> qah: not exactly... you still need the live cd, but it allows you to save documents and programs between sessions
[04:07] <sugaryse> Hi all.
[04:07] <imastoopiduser> i bought a belkin bluetooth usb adapter, Im trying to pair my bluetooth headset and use skype
[04:08] <gkelly> PunjabDaSher: try this: `netcat <IP Address of XP> 445`
[04:08] <mynetdude> imastoopiduser the kind of headset you use with a cell phone?
[04:08] <QAH> pinkster: So does the live cd do stuff on your ram or something?
[04:08] <Herissy> skype is primitive in ubuntu.
[04:08] <mynetdude> imastoopiduser didn't know they had usb>bluetooth
[04:08] <ali1> how can i uninstall compizconfig-settings-manager
[04:08] <mynetdude> oh, err my bad yes I do... the usb bluetooth dongle
[04:08] <mynetdude> I have the old bluetooth 1.0 dongle still
[04:08] <aixenv> question: with gnome can you password protect /lock them separately? or just all at once in one session
[04:08] <webcamwonder> alil sudo apt-get remove compizconfig-settings-manager
[04:08] <gkelly> PunjabDaSher: does it say connection refused, or just nothing happens? Nothing happening is good (means the port is open)
[04:09] <Herissy> mynetdude : yeah they do.
[04:09] <QAH> pinkster: Okay. I am going to try this now. Thanks
[04:09] <webcamwonder> alil and if you wish to also remove the preferences of the program add --purge after remove
[04:09] <aixenv> like could you have it so when you switch desktops it asks for a password before accessing that desktop
[04:09] <dlozarie> guys, gparted tells me that /dev/sda1 (ntfs) has 17.86 GiB of unused space. I can use that to store my ubuntu files, right?
[04:09] <mynetdude> well I'll bbiab... gonna go wipe ubuntu again
[04:09] <PunjabDaSher> nothing happened gkelly
[04:09] <pinkster> qah: have fun
[04:09] <PunjabDaSher> i am connected wirelessly through a linksys wrt54g
[04:09] <webcamwonder> dlozarie yes you can mount it and use that to store your files
[04:09] <gkelly> ok that's good, port is open at least. brb
[04:09] <Phill> Anyone know if Firefox 3 will be in 8.04's apt tree - or will they only throw it in on the next Ubuntu release? [I know... I can just install it from source or something... but I'm just curious]
[04:10] <imastoopiduser> yep its cool, ubunt recognizes the bluetooth adapter right away its cool!
[04:10] <SpookyET> Why is Totem's scaling so horrible? Text and video gets pixelised. It looks like a bloody youtube at 2x. mplayer is smooth.
[04:10] <theRealBall> l
[04:10] <Phill> Not the Beta; but the actual release.
[04:10] <nickrud> !ff3 | Phill
[04:10] <Herissy> dlozarie : yeah
[04:10] <Phill> Sweet.
[04:10] <sugaryse> I am new to ubuntu.. I just installed it and it looks like my wireless is not working
[04:10] <sugaryse> How do I go about fixing it?
[04:10] <brad_> does the update manager have an internal log?
[04:10] <Herissy> dlozarie : you really should have a separate partition though
[04:10] <sugaryse> The wireless button usually has an LED but its not lit.. I think its missing the drivers
[04:10] <aixenv> anyone have an idea about locking a specific desktop?
[04:11] <Phill> sugaryse: pray :) and give us more information
[04:11] <nickrud> Phill make sure you have hardy-updates enabled
[04:11] <dlozarie> @Herissy, I think I did install Ubuntu in a partition separate from Windows. Wait, let me check.
[04:11] <sugaryse> compaw laptop
[04:11] <sugaryse> compaq lol
[04:11] <sugaryse> C302NR
[04:11] <Phill> @ nickrud:  I still haven't updated - I'm runnin' 7.10 - just a teeny bit slow xD
[04:11] <dlozarie> @Herissy, doh! my bad! Program Files folder and ubuntu folder are on the same partition!
[04:11] <Herissy> uh oh.
[04:12] <Agent_bob> could not initialize fonts
[04:12] <Agent_bob> exiting with code 0
[04:12] <Herissy> wait a minute... did you install ubuntu or not?
[04:12] <sugaryse> I have no idea how to fix this...
[04:12] <vantrigger> How do I know which hd0 my windows sits on if I installed it on /dev/hda3? Can't boot it
[04:12] <sugaryse> I used the unbuntu install cd
[04:12] <nickrud> vantrigger /dev/hda3 would be (hd0,2)
[04:12] <hoehaver> Please Spell Marijuana with me.
[04:13] <nickrud> !o4o | hoehaver
[04:13] <Herissy> sugaryse : start praying. if it doesn't work out of the box its going to take some work.
[04:13] <sugaryse> great...
[04:13] <hoehaver> all this work all you do, helping. just  sit back. spell it.
[04:13] <sugaryse> ok so where do i begin
[04:13] <Agent_bob> what should i be looking for that has changed the fonts or font configuration in the security/updates
[04:13] <sugaryse> im a smart guy....
[04:13] <hoehaver> Marijuana
[04:13] <nickrud> hoehaver one last warning ...
[04:13] <PunjabDaSher> m
[04:13] <Phill> sugaryse: Google; but just a note; I'm not the one that can help - I tried getting wireless to work to no avail xD

[04:14] <Herissy> mine didn't work out of the box, took 3 weeks to work, then with new version my wi0fi worked out the box.
[04:14] <genii> nickrud: Thanks
[04:14] <hoehaver>  :)
[04:15] <webcamwonder> genii: tried that patch and almost everthing thinkable usplash still timesout
[04:15] <Phill> @Herissy: mine started to work; but I couldn't connect to my network or any other unsecured networks.
[04:15] <webcamwonder> genii: but I am thinking of forgetting the problem altogether
[04:15] <dlozarie> weird. what's that command you type in the terminal again to see your remaining disk space?
[04:15] <Herissy> using ndiswrapper Phill?
[04:15] <nickrud> dlozarie df -h
[04:15] <webcamwonder> df -h
[04:16] <Phill> Herissy: Nah; I gave up; I had to throw Windows on that computer anyway.
[04:16] <Phill> Herissy: this one is dc to the ISR; so i'm good.
[04:16] <genii> webcamwonder: Bummer
[04:16] <Herissy> ahh.
[04:16] <Phill> Herissy: bummer though; really wanted *nix to work on my mum's comp.
[04:16] <Agent_bob> if a security update has broken things in ubuntu dapper where should one look for answers ?
[04:16] <dlozarie> @nickrud, yeah df -h. well, when I type that into the terminal, it tells me I've got 2GB left, but when I go to applications->accessories->disk usage analyzer, it says I've got 53GB available.
[04:16] <webcamwonder> genii: Apparently I have a stubborn little usplash and usplash_write :D.. ok nvm
[04:17] <nickrud> dlozarie do you have a separate /home partition?
[04:17] <nickrud> dlozarie hm, maybe not a useful question. How big is your disk?
[04:18] <Herissy> dlozarie : one says whats available on the current partition, the other shows the entire disk.
[04:18] <dlozarie> @nickrud, well I have one disk, partitioned into two--49.3 and 62.8 GiB.
[04:18] <nickrud> dlozarie and between the two, do they have around 53gb free?
[04:19] <dlozarie> @nickrud, yes I assume so. This is what the disk usage analyzer says:
[04:19] <nickrud> dlozarie assuming both are ext3 and both mounted
[04:19] <eboyjr> How can I get when a file was last modified in the command line? (unix epoch would be good)
[04:19] <PunjabDaSher> Anybody feel like helping a struggling Ubuntu newbie with some home network issues
[04:19] <Agent_bob> a pastebin of     df -h     might also help nickrud
[04:19] <SiegeX> so i dunno if its better or worse that I just traded in an XP laptop for one with Ubuntu that I seem to constantly use within a virtualbox'd Vista
[04:19] <nickrud> dlozarie why not put the output of df -h
[04:19] <nickrud> Agent_bob on the case, sir ;p
[04:19] <Herissy> PunjabDaSher : I just fixed mine
[04:19] <dlozarie> total filesystem capacity: 119 GB, used: 66.1 GB, available 52.9 GB.
[04:20] <PunjabDaSher> oo
[04:20] <ali1> can some1 help me
[04:20] <webcamwonder> alil yes go ahead
[04:20] <ali1> my cube is messed up
[04:20] <PunjabDaSher> I think i spoke to you earlier, you said that it just started randomly working/
[04:20] <PunjabDaSher> ?
[04:20] <dlozarie> @nickrud, okay, I'll type df -h into the terminal and then give you the pastebin URL. thnx.
[04:20] <ali1> before this problem was fixed but it happened after i reinstalled ubuntu
[04:20] <webcamwonder> alil Did you try to change your configration from the compiz manager utility?
[04:20] <Herissy> well... its fixed now isn't it?
[04:20] <ali1> when iam usign the cube rite
[04:20] <SiegeX> although I must say, being able to rotate a cube to go between windows and ubuntu is pretty sick
[04:20] <PunjabDaSher> hahaha
[04:21] <webcamwonder> alil The cube is part of Compiz Fusion, which can be easily tweaked using two main utilities
[04:21] <ali1> and i stop it liek slowly zooms back to the dekstop
[04:21] <Herissy> whats the question Ill still try
[04:21] <aixenv> guys: is it possible to create an iso of my current/existing install of ubuntu? like with all my added pkgs ?
[04:21] <Agent_bob> SiegeX sick ?
[04:21] <SiegeX> as in too cool for school
[04:21] <ali1> i never had this problem so wat can i ajust in the ccsm to fix it
[04:21] <PunjabDaSher> basicall
[04:21] <PunjabDaSher> y
[04:21] <dlozarie> @nickrud, here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21725/ :)
[04:21] <Agent_bob> SiegeX ah  slick maybe ?
[04:21] <webcamwonder> alil are you using the simple manager or the advanced manager?
[04:22] <JuzzyD> Does anyone know much about using the vodafone mobile connect card driver for linux with the e220?
[04:22] <PunjabDaSher> i try to access my shared files off of my xp box
[04:22] <ali1> iam usign the ccsm
[04:22] <PunjabDaSher> and i cant
[04:22] <gkelly> PunjabDaSher: try this command from ubuntu: `smbclient -L <IP of XP>`
[04:22] <ali1> compizconfig-sttings-manger
[04:22] <PunjabDaSher> k gkelly
[04:22] <idkfawin32> Does anybody know any good linux programs I can use to make chiptunes(NES style songs)
[04:22] <nickrud> dlozarie look at sda1 and sda2 at the bottom, they are included in the baobab output
[04:22] <SiegeX> Agent_bob: same meaning, different slang
[04:22] <ali1> it wasn't like this before
[04:22] <webcamwonder> alil So you should see a Advanced Desktop Effect Settings under Administration?
[04:23] <nickrud> dlozarie baobab = disk analyzer
[04:23] <gkelly> PunjabDaSher: and if your ubuntu username is different from your windows username, use `-U <windows user name>`
[04:23] <PunjabDaSher> gkelly: it just hangs up
[04:23] <ali1> its not there...i think this can be fixed in the ccsm
[04:23] <HardyOne> idkfawin32, try #ubuntu-studio they should be able to help you
[04:23] <gkelly> what do you mean 'hangs up'? is there no output at all?
[04:23] <idkfawin32> thanks
[04:23] <PunjabDaSher> oh wait
[04:23] <ali1> iam using advanced desktop effects setting
[04:23] <dlozarie> @nickrud, all I have on baobab is total filesystem usage: 55%
[04:23] <PunjabDaSher> hold on
[04:23] <Herissy> you mean it slams the phone down in your ear?
[04:23] <nickrud> dlozarie yes, that's sda5 + sda1 + sda2

[04:24] <ali1> but what do i twek
[04:25] <gkelly> PunjabDaSher: if your usernames are different, you'll always have to tell windows that you want to connect as a different user.
[04:25] <ali1> i been tryin to fix it for hours
[04:25] <webcamwonder> alil In the desktop cube goto Behavior
[04:25] <ali1> k
[04:25] <webcamwonder> alil and try the speed over there
[04:25] <gkelly> or you can look into using a samba credentials file (google it later)
[04:25] <ali1> i tried that its nto it
[04:25] <PunjabDaSher> Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding
[04:25] <PunjabDaSher> protocol negotiation failed
[04:25] <webcamwonder> alil did you try increasing the "Speed" to a greater number?
[04:25] <dlozarie> @nickrud, after unmounting, it says I have 4.8 GB left. total filesystem capacity became 14.6 GB from original 119 GB
[04:26] <ali1> yes
[04:26] <IdleOne> !clone | aixenv not exactly what you need but it is a start
[04:26] <ali1> is there a way i can ajust all the settings back to the way they were
[04:26] <Agent_bob>     application error.      could not initialize fonts!   ?
[04:26] <webcamwonder> alil I am not sure but one way would be to select the none or the minimal effects under appearence
[04:27] <nickrud> Agent_bob what application?
[04:27] <aixenv> ty Idle
[04:27] <Ziroday> For some reason nothing seems to be able to connect to my dbus connection, it keeps giving connection refused errors. It only works if the program is run as root
[04:27] <aixenv> !automate
[04:27] <Agent_bob> nickrud several in fact.
[04:27] <idkfawin32> not many people are in #ubuntustudio
[04:27] <Matthew> 2 questions: 1. How do I turn Compiz on and off.
[04:27] <idkfawin32> but thank anyway
[04:27] <dlozarie> ﻿@nickrud, after unmounting, it says I have 4.8 GB left. total filesystem capacity became 14.6 GB from original 119 GB
[04:27] <nickrud> Agent_bob try   fc-cache
[04:27] <webcamwonder> Matthew: Under appearence you can turn the effects off - which means that compiz "effects" would be disabled
[04:27] <Agent_bob> nickrud things that worked yesterday before i did    apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
[04:28] <Agent_bob> nickrud and it's dapper.
[04:28] <Agent_bob> k wiil try it.
[04:28] <Matthew> webcamwonder, thank you
[04:28] <nickrud> dlozarie now, do df -h again, and add up all the listings. They all count
[04:28] <Trubadurix> hi how do i set panel to keeb below in ubuntu hardy just the normal panel so when full screen folder go over it any ideas?
[04:28] <ali1> how can i uninstall compizconfig-settings-manager
[04:28] <webcamwonder> alil sudo apt-get remove --purge compizconfig-settings-manager
[04:28] <webcamwonder> alil and if you wish to keep the settings, don't include the purge tag
[04:28] <ali1> alrite
[04:28] <Agent_bob> nickrud no change
[04:28] <nickrud> Agent_bob that rebuilds the font cache for your user, should expose any error.
[04:29] <CpuWhiz> ok, my sound died after i replaced my video card and moved it back into place (it was working when i tested the system on the bench) - volume is up, known working speakers plugged in the right place, and the pulse volume meter shows something playing
[04:29] <nickrud> Agent_bob pick an app
[04:29] <CpuWhiz> but no sound
[04:29] <gkelly> PunjabDaSher: google your error messages (always)
[04:29] <Matthew> 2: My video card is more than capable, why do I have difficulty watching full screen videos. (particularly on youtube)--it's very choppy.
[04:29] <Agent_bob> nickrud no change.   finished without error,  but didn't halp a thing
[04:29] <dlozarie> @nickrud, I add up all the numbers under "available", and....
[04:29] <IdleOne> Trubadurix, right click select properties and select bottom
[04:29] <nickrud> Agent_bob name an app thats failing
[04:29] <Agent_bob> nickrud ok.   wesnoth
[04:29] <idkfawin32> I cant even watch youtube in ubuntu
[04:29] <webcamwonder> Matthew: Youtube video quality is very low... Are you sure you are watrching the "High Quality" version?
[04:29] <Agent_bob> nickrud totem also
[04:29] <idkfawin32> I tried installing Gnash but it doesnt show  the video
[04:29] <genewitch> is it possible to get the cd image for 8.04 to burn to a DVD so i can install it on my laptop?
[04:30] <Trubadurix> then in will be on the botttom screen not below
[04:30] <idkfawin32> genewitch: Yes
[04:30] <Agent_bob> nickrud need more list ?   i'll check all installed if i need to.
[04:30] <legend2440> dlozarie: to get an accurate count in Disk Usage Analyzer open edit>preferences and uncheck gvfs
[04:30] <nickrud> Agent_bob ah, are they all non gnome, older programs?
[04:30] <IdleOne> Trubadurix, select autohide
[04:30] <Shpook> idkfawin32: Did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[04:30] <nickrud> Agent_bob totem isn't old
[04:30] <genewitch> idkfawin32: i'm in windows right now, do i need to be in linux to do it?
[04:30] <idkfawin32> genewitch: No, I installed off of the livecd
[04:30] <yurimxpxman> the sound isn't working in flash videos for me using the non-free package.. any ideas? (I'm using firefox and 8.04)
[04:30] <nickrud> Agent_bob was casting around for the font handling characteristics
[04:30] <Trubadurix> yes but then it hide if i want not to hide just below ?
[04:30] <nickrud> of the programs
[04:30] <genewitch> idkfawin32: i don't have any blank cds and wont for at least a week :-(
[04:30] <PunjabDaSher> gkelly: there are no answers on google, just people with similiar dilemmas
[04:31] <idkfawin32> genewitch: I used Alcohol 120% to burn the image to dvd
[04:31] <Agent_bob> nickrud i'll have to check,   but i'm not running gnome anyway.  blackbox.
[04:31] <IdleOne> Trubadurix, I dont think you can do that
[04:31] <genewitch> idkfawin32: ok, i'll give it a shot
[04:31] <idkfawin32> genewitch: thats for windows
[04:31] <Trubadurix> ok
[04:31] <genewitch> idkfawin32: yeah, i use nero, should be the same
[04:31] <Trubadurix> well ty
[04:31] <Agent_bob> nickrud they all worked prior to the update
[04:31] <nickrud> Agent_bob ok. Freetype should respect fc-cache anyway, wesnoth uses that. Been a while since I messed with the font system, I need to refresh
[04:31] <gkelly> PunjabDaSher: well someone has to have figured it out eventually
[04:31] <IdleOne> Trubadurix, np. check the ubuntu forums also there might be more info there
[04:31] <idkfawin32> genewitch: Its funny I have the same problem as you, plenty blank dvd's, no blank cd's
[04:32] <sc0tt> im using ubuntu 8.04....i compiled a kernel and installed it for the first time....my initial kernel release is 2.6.24-16 generic...the new one i compiled and installed is 2.6.24-3...when i boot with the new kernel i get the login screen but the desktop doesnt load and i get back at the login screen automatically
[04:32] <Trubadurix> ok
[04:32] <genewitch> idkfawin32: i'm actually debating runnign around the neighborhood asking people
[04:32] <dlozarie> @nickrud, turns out with the volumes unmounted I have 7.8 GBs left.
[04:32] <Matthew> webcamwonder, yes I'm watching in high quality. In fullscreen, it seems as though the picture is frequently "chopped" lengthwise 2 or 3 times...at a time. If that makes sense.
[04:32] <PunjabDaSher> gkelly: im still looking, h/o
[04:32] <genewitch> I need 3 cds, knoppix, ubuntu, and some other security distro
[04:32] <idkfawin32> genewitch: I've resorted to that before
[04:32] <legend2440> dlozarie: to get an accurate count in Disk Usage Analyzer open edit>preferences and uncheck gvfs
[04:32] <gkelly> PunjabDaSher: are you sure you have all these packages installed: samba samba-common libsmbclient smbclient smbfs
[04:32] <Shpook> genewitch, idkfawin32: I think you can burn  an image to dvd.
[04:32] <dlozarie> @legend2440, yep I've done that.
[04:33] <idkfawin32> Shpook: I know, I did it today to get linux running on my iBook
[04:33] <IdleOne> idkfawin32, you can burn the cd iso to dvd just not the other way around
[04:33] <nickrud> dlozarie these counts are not completely accurate, for complete accuracy do df  (without the -h)
[04:33] <genewitch> Shpook: nero won't let me, but i have two other programs, afk, hunting a cd-rw or something
[04:33] <PunjabDaSher> gkelly: yes i have all of them
[04:34] <Agent_bob> nickrud vlc is blinky too
[04:34] <idkfawin32> IdleOne: Lol, I know. I was answering Genewitch's question
[04:34] <sugaryse> How come when i type vim and a filename
[04:34] <IdleOne> idkfawin32, yeah saw that'
[04:34] <sugaryse> when i got to save it it gfives me a cant save error
[04:34] <sc0tt> any way i can fix that ?
[04:34] <nickrud> Agent_bob it's been a long time since I ran dapper, gimme a chance to think back that far (if I can)
[04:34] <idkfawin32> Anybody know if I can get Gnash to play Youtube videos???
[04:35] <idkfawin32> I just stopped using dapper today
[04:35] <nickrud> Agent_bob did you check what was updated?
[04:35] <Gohalien> help, something weird happened to me, i cant use shift key in my keyboard, also block num isnt working, it isnt keyboard issue because when i use it in a wine application is working ok .p
[04:35] <idkfawin32> llool
[04:35] <sc0tt> im using ubuntu 8.04....i compiled a kernel and installed it for the first time....my initial kernel release is 2.6.24-16 generic...the new one i compiled and installed is 2.6.24-3...when i boot with the new kernel i get the login screen but the desktop doesnt load and i get back at the login screen automatically
[04:35] <dlozarie> @nickrud, everything sums up to 27,476,160. I presume this is in kilobytes.
[04:35] <sc0tt> how can i fix this ?
[04:35] <Agent_bob> nickrud openoffice and xorg were   i'll look at the log
[04:36] <nickrud> dlozarie yes
[04:36] <idkfawin32> sc0tt: maybe gnome is messed up, I don't know how to fix but its just an idea
[04:36] <sc0tt> idk : i can still boot with my earlier kernel
[04:36] <amenado> sc0tt-> can you log on okay from a console ctrl+alt+F1 to F6 ?
[04:37] <sc0tt> ame : yes i was able to log on from terminal by pressing ctrl+f2 at the login screen
[04:37] <sc0tt> but the gnome desktop wount load
[04:37] <dlozarie> @so, I've got 26.2 GiB left?
[04:37] <Agent_bob> nickrud tail -100 /var/log/dpkg.log http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d180e7833
[04:37] <sc0tt> however, my previous kernel works fine...does it still mean there is a gnome issue ?
[04:37] <idkfawin32> sc0tt: there is probably a way to reinstall gnome from terminal I can remember the command though
[04:38] <idkfawin32> cant*
[04:38] <gkelly> I have downloaded 8.04 alternate CD and popped it into my 6.06 desktop. I added the CD as a source and then reloaded, marked all upgrades, and hit apply. Should I come out the other end with hardy?? or am I in for a surprise?
[04:38] <ronin1234> How do I get tv-out (with s video) working on a M2A-VM HDMI (Raedon X1250) with flgrx
[04:38] <ronin1234> ubuntu 8.04
[04:38] <sc0tt> idk L but if i reinstall gnome..will it also affect my previous kernel installation ?
[04:39] <adante> howdy, is there a program i can use to automatically scan my monitors modes?
[04:39] <nickrud> dlozarie by my count, you have around 2.1 gb left. it is possible that you disk is a bit corrupt, you could try running fsck on the partition from a live cd
[04:39] <internal> I can't launch a dbus session, running dbus-launch tells me that Unable to create /home/nick/.dbus/session-bus
[04:39] <idkfawin32> sc0tt: I change my mind, its from your kernel probably you don't have to re-install gnome
[04:39] <dlozarie> @nickrud, ok. thanks.
[04:39] <nickrud> gkelly a suprise
[04:39] <dmsuperman> gkelly, if memory serves me you have to actually click the button that says "upgrade to hardy"
[04:39] <dlozarie> @nickrud, thanks a bunch for the help.
[04:39] <idkfawin32> sc0tt: try 'apt get update'
[04:39] <nickrud> dlozarie hope you get that all straight in your head
[04:40] <sc0tt> idk : ok
[04:40] <idkfawin32> sc0tt: Gnome is probably having a conflict with the new kernel and upgrading gnome might fix it
[04:40] <genii> sc0tt: Use sudo in front of that
[04:40] <unavailable> sc0tt then use sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:41] <sugaryse> How can I see if the Wireless card is installed right?
[04:41] <internal> sugaryse: can you use it?
[04:41] <idkfawin32> Gnash wont play youtube videos. Is this normal?
[04:41] <sugaryse> i duno what Im doing lol..
[04:41] <sc0tt> do i do sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get update or both ?
[04:41] <sugaryse> i dont think its working
[04:41] <sugaryse> cause when i go browse for wireless networks it does not find anything
[04:42] <idkfawin32> sc0tt: the first one
[04:42] <Wazz> is there a terminal command to see how much HD space you are using?
[04:42] <unavailable> both in that order
[04:42] <dmsuperman> sc0tt, it never hurts to do both
[04:42] <sc0tt> ok..thnkx..ill try that
[04:42] <mage> hello
[04:42] <webcamwonder> df -h
[04:42] <adante> hi, in nautilus how can i ssh into a system with a nonstandard port? ie how do i specify the port?
[04:42]  * unavailable read his ques wrong
[04:42] <sc0tt> ok
[04:42] <webcamwonder> Wazz df -h
[04:42] <Wazz> thanks
[04:42] <internal> sugaryse: okay, is the wireless card usb or pci?
[04:42] <unavailable> sc0ttupdate then upgrade
[04:42] <unavailable> sc0tt update then upgrade
[04:42] <sc0tt> unav : ok
[04:42] <sugaryse> pci bub
[04:42] <sc0tt> ok..me logging off to try this :)
[04:43] <unavailable> break a leg
[04:43] <ali1> how can i reset ccsm back to the way its at first??\
[04:43] <internal> sugaryse: can you please address, and pastebin lspci and ifconfig
[04:43] <sugaryse> I see I have a broadcom wlan Nic
[04:44] <internal> adante: ssh://user@hots.com:port
[04:44] <idkfawin32> Anybody know how I can make simple Dos style games under linux
[04:44] <sugaryse> doing ifconfig I dont see a wireless adapter
[04:44] <Agent_bob> so i spent three days updating this system, just to find out that i was much better off before i updated ?     this of course stringthens my dislike of "updates" !
[04:44] <adante> internal: that doesn't work, the : is the delimeter for the directory to access
[04:44] <gkelly> dmsuperman: 6.06 doesn't have the upgrade manager thing, so I dont think that was an option...oh well. this machine could use some house cleaning anyway
[04:44] <idkfawin32> Agent_Bob: what version you on?
[04:44] <nickrud> Agent_bob sorry got distracted. looking
[04:44] <Agent_bob> dapper
[04:44] <internal> adante: aah, then I dunno sorry, try sshfs?
[04:44] <Agent_bob> idkfawin32 dapper LTS
[04:45] <idkfawin32> Why are you stuck with dapper
[04:45] <Agent_bob> idkfawin32 why not ?
[04:45] <internal> sugaryse: can you pastebin the results please
[04:45] <idkfawin32> Why not upgrade to 8.04
[04:45]  * gkelly uses dapper too. Trying to upgrade at the moment...
[04:45] <Agent_bob> idkfawin32 why should i ?
[04:45] <sugaryse> im not on that computer got no net access on it
[04:45] <sugaryse> I am using another laptop
[04:45] <idkfawin32> because its much better
[04:45] <idkfawin32> I stopped using dapper today
[04:46] <Agent_bob> idkfawin32 every thing worked just fine before the security updates.
[04:46] <sugaryse> http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=475963
[04:46] <gkelly> my dapper machine was just a "install and forget it" box. as long as it's still running, why bother
[04:46] <unavailable> sugaryse  floppy disks might help?
[04:46] <sugaryse> Thats the model I have 4311
[04:46] <nickrud> Agent_bob I'd look at the changelog of xserver-xorg-core , see what that was about. That's the only thing I see there that would affect multiple apps
[04:46] <idkfawin32> Im just saying 8.04 repositories have more up to date packages
[04:46] <nickrud> Agent_bob s/could/should/
[04:46] <gkelly> but now I want flash 9 and dapper is on 7, so I decided to go for the upgrade, since hardy is LTS
[04:47] <nickrud> oh, whatever I woulda shoulda typed
[04:47] <Some_Person> Dapper was not a great release in my opinion. The installer forced you to put GRUB in the MBR, and I remember having to type "gdm" to boot it on the first few boots.
[04:47] <internal> sugaryse: okay, and you are following the guide?
[04:47] <sugaryse> its 56 pages long lol
[04:47] <sugaryse> im going to download the NDIS drivers ?
[04:47] <Agent_bob> nickrud k.   and i'll just revert the xserver-xorg-core package for now.   if that fixes it, thanks a short ton.

[04:55] <genii> Bacta: Put them on some intermediate media like usb stick
[04:55] <dyf> Bacta: for windows to see the linux partition
[04:55] <unavailable> dyf so your looking for a mozilla style dictionary?
[04:55] <webcamwonder> Bacta or you can mount your Windows partition off Linux and transfer the MP3 there
[04:55] <unavailable> which corrects and suggests as you type?
[04:55] <Bruce1> speaking of which, how can I get fedora to read an ubuntu partition, does anyone know
[04:55] <dyf> unavailable: i don't know what that is.. does it do what i said i wanted it to do?
[04:56] <genii> Bruce1: It should by default since they bothe use ext based filesystem
[04:56] <dyf> Bruce1: you just have to mount the ubuntu parition
[04:56] <unavailable> dyf i was making an example.. like how firefox suggests as you type
[04:56] <Bacta> would it be easy to create a FAT32 partition when in Linux?
[04:56] <webcamwonder> Bacta are you talking about partitioning your HDD?
[04:56] <odz> anyone know what i need to recompile so fonts will look just like the other distros ? fonts dont look sharp like the other distros :(
[04:56] <LogicalDash> Bacta, yes
[04:56] <Bruce1> well, I have two partitions on this laptop, fedora on one and vista on the other. I used wubi to install ubuntu
[04:57] <Bacta> yes, if I made a FAT32 partition under Linux and dumped my mp3s in there could Windows and Linux access it?
[04:57] <q_a_z_steve> ﻿Hey. Silly question, but I really do need an answer, can I use a DirecTV DVR with Comcast service?
[04:57] <LogicalDash> odz, do you have defoma installed?
[04:57] <dyf> unavailable: yes, something like that.. but that's a little too much to ask.. if you go to dictionary.com and type a misspelled word, it suggests some words that are closer to what you typed.. that feature would be great in a professional dictionary
[04:57] <KyleK> Bacta: whats wrong with ntfs?
[04:57] <LogicalDash> Bacta, yes, I have done this
[04:57] <genii> Bruce1: Since wubi, the ubuntu part is not in a regular partition
[04:57] <Bacta> can I create a NTFS under Linux then?
[04:57] <webcamwonder> Theoretically, yes. But it woul dbe much easier to just mount your Windows parittion
[04:57] <Ashfire908> What does ubuntu by defualt use for hashes for shadow?
[04:57] <KyleK> oh
[04:57] <dyf> Bacta: yes, FAT32 is accessible by both windows and linux
[04:57] <Bruce1> I figured so
[04:57] <KyleK> Bacta: i guess thats the problem, cant create ntfs in linux
[04:57] <dfgas> !getdeb
[04:57] <dyf> Bacta: linux can read/write NTFS too
[04:57] <Bacta> what program can I use?
[04:58] <LogicalDash> Bacta, gparted is the usual tool
[04:58] <Bacta> ok
[04:58] <Bacta> thanks
[04:58] <Bruce1> I am actually having trouble booting into ubuntu, so that is why I ask, to recover one file I want
[04:58] <LogicalDash> Bacta, enjoy!
[04:58] <Bacta> :)
[04:58] <dyf> Bruce1: install an ext3 driver on windows
[04:58] <mynetdude> how can I force software updates? I just reinstalled ubuntu so I could use the 32bit edition... and the update ! icon isn't showing
[04:58] <LogicalDash> How can I change GNOME file associations from the command line?
[04:58] <^paradox^> anyone here write or know anything about ebooks? more specifically im writing an ebook in pdf format which i intend to sell. i know i can encrypt it with open office, but is there any program for ubuntu i can use to make pdf not work if its emailed?
[04:59] <webcamwonder> mynet dude sudo apt-get update
[04:59] <dyf> mynetdude: system > administration > software update (or something like that)
[04:59] <mynetdude> webcamwonder cool... I could have thought of that
[04:59] <mynetdude> dyf ty too, will look
[04:59] <dyf> update manager probably
[04:59] <dyf> np
[04:59] <dyf> so no one knows of a good dictionary?
[04:59] <LogicalDash> OK, I'll try a different tack: Where does GNOME store file association data?
[04:59] <xxjoshdenxx> Hello everyone, can someone help me. I have a Goodmans G-Shot 5034TFT digital camera, but dont have to software drivers, nor a SD card. But i do have photos of my friends on the 34MB hard drive which i need. The only problem is that i cant get them off the camera. when i plug it in the PC nothing comes up, and i looked on the internet for anything and nothing. the camera has printbridge on it. Can someone please help me 
[04:59] <nickrud> ^paradox^ we don't support that in this channel
[05:00] <Zeroyez> Hi, every time I install a linux distro on my computer, it ends up installing itself in grub as the wrong HD (a non existant one) and then it gets stuck on "waiting for root file system"
[05:00] <Agent_bob> nickrud i'm no longer seeing a ~/.font* file   .font_cache was it?    anyway it's not there now.   what makes that file ?
[05:00] <genii> Bruce1: Basic methodology here would be to first mount the windows partition the ubuntu file is in, then loopmount the ubuntu file
[05:00] <dyf> xxjoshdenxx: did you try gphoto?
[05:00] <mynetdude> dyf you don't like the dictionary included?
[05:00] <Bruce1> when I choose ubuntu, I get "BusyBox v 1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built in shell
[05:00] <xxjoshdenxx> dyf: no i will try it now.
[05:00] <xxjoshdenxx> :)
[05:00] <Bruce1> after a little loading
[05:01] <nickrud> Agent_bob that one you would make yourself, by creating the directory and dropping a ttf file in it
[05:01] <LogicalDash> Zeroyez: there's a command line utility called grub-install, if you can figure out the correct name of the HD you want, you can install grub on it and it should work
[05:01] <dyf> xxjoshdenxx: http://www.gphoto.org/ for more information
[05:01] <mynetdude> hmm update manager only shows 26 updates... earlier there was 191 :(
[05:01] <dyf> mynetdude: did you read my requirements of a good dictionary?
[05:01] <Mo0oSaH> I have this weird problem, when Amarok is running, youtube does not play any sound and when I am playing a video on youtube, amarok doesn't play anything.  :(  What could be causing that?
[05:01] <Agent_bob> nickrud but it used to get created every time i started a gui   now things are broke and that files is missing.
[05:01] <dyf> mynetdude: never mind
[05:01] <Zeroyez> grub is installed and everything, it's just the linux based OS's that add themselves to grub
[05:01] <mynetdude> dyf no, thats why I asked if you didn't like the one included
[05:02] <Zeroyez> they keep setting root=random-non-existant-hard-drive
[05:02] <webcamwonder> Agent_bob fc-cache
[05:02] <dyf> mynetdude: let me copy and paste the lines
[05:02] <nickrud> Agent_bob no .fc-cache might (I'd have to look at things again to refresh my memory, .fonts/ is not created by any app
[05:02] <bullgard4> "~$ uname -r; 2.6.24-19-generic" Is the '-19' suffix a number issued by Ubuntu only, or can -19 also be found in Debian?
[05:02] <mynetdude> if u want, either way I wouldn't know
[05:02] <genii> Mo0oSaH: The sound system can only use one device at a time. So two programs trying to use the sound system = first one wins
[05:02] <mynetdude> I'm surprised an OS even has a dictionary... windows doesn't
[05:03] <dns53> Zeroyez for some reason the install did not configure your entry in grub correctly, try playing around with the settings ....
[05:03] <webcamwonder> genii: wasn't this correct in hardy? I haven't tried it
[05:03] <mynetdude> to get a dictionary you need office! :P
[05:03] <dyf> mynetdude: ﻿(11:51:44 PM) dyf: is there a more professional dictionary than the gnome applet?
[05:03] <Agent_bob> webcamwonder ok.  that command runs without error but doesn't creat the cache file
[05:03] <dyf> mynetdude: ﻿(11:52:44 PM) dyf: Agent_bob: yes, like one that does spell checking or guesses the word you're trying to look for
[05:03] <NetEcho> the OpenOffice word processor package doesn't seem to work
[05:03] <Mo0oSaH> genii: are you kidding me? that sucks!  there's no way around it?
[05:03] <NetEcho> I click on the program and it loads the splash but then does nothing
[05:03] <nickrud> !dmix
[05:03] <mynetdude> dyf yeah that'd be a nice dictionary... I know the existing dictionary will underline red if it doesn't know the word
[05:03] <genii> webcamwonder: Still has that behaviour for me
[05:04] <mynetdude> dyf I think you're also referring to predictive typing/completion for the "guessing" part
[05:04] <dyf> mynetdude: kind of a "smart" dictionary
[05:04] <genii> Mo0oSaH: Maybe use jackd to split off the sound. I haven't tried this myself
[05:04] <xxjoshdenxx> dyf: Okay, ive done the photo manager but now i can access the photo, its all darkened out. how do i  access the photo and add the to my pictures folder
[05:04] <xxjoshdenxx> ?
[05:04] <mynetdude> being able to correct/complete words on the fly would be nice
[05:04] <webcamwonder> genii: I thought the newly introduced PULSE  should correct it... looks like didn't :(
[05:04] <Agent_bob> webcamwonder ?
[05:04] <dyf> mynetdude: it's weird the open source coders haven't thought of it
[05:04] <webcamwonder> Agent_bob
[05:04] <mynetdude> dyf yeah that'd be GREAT!
[05:04] <NetEcho> anyone else having issues with OpenOffice.Org under hardy?
[05:04] <webcamwonder> Agent_bob are you talking about .fontconfig?
[05:04] <dns53> Zeroyez when grub appears press e to go into edit mode and edit the line, change the root=partition part of the entry
[05:05] <dyf> xxjoshdenxx: how are you accessing the memory card?
[05:05] <mynetdude> dyf its weird, but at least they've thought about implementing it into the OS not app specific
[05:05] <Agent_bob> here's an strace on fc-cache http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d64eec0fb
[05:05] <Bruce1> I have OO issues in fedora
[05:05] <chowder> question: I want to install the minimal CD image onto a separate partition but it needs an internet connection to download the needed files. It won't detect my wireless. Is there a way to debootstrap from the CD to the empty partition?
[05:05] <webcamwonder> Agent_bob that is the only font* entry I see in my jhome folder
[05:05] <Agent_bob> webcamwonder no.  .font_cache i think was the name
[05:05] <Agent_bob> let me check another box
[05:05] <dyf> xxjoshdenxx: did you mount the memory card with gphoto2?
[05:05] <Zeroyez> dns53: I did that
[05:05] <genii> chowder: Since you need internet to install debbootstrap it could get convoluted
[05:05] <Zeroyez> when they booted I got something totally different though
[05:05] <KyleK> chowder: debootstrap tool uses the internet
[05:05] <xxjoshdenxx> dyf: it hasn't got a SD card, but its got like 34MB of memory on it... the name of the photos has come up but i cant click on them. Is there a change that it crashed or something?
[05:06] <chowder> genii: I'm doing it from within an existing installation
[05:06] <dns53> Zeroyez the kernel line? make it root=/dev/sda3 or something
[05:06] <Zeroyez> it'd load the system after a 20 minute wait then the x server would fail to start
[05:06] <Zeroyez> yeah
[05:06] <genii> chowder: Also see what KyleK mentioned
[05:06] <dyf> xxjoshdenxx: are you able to copy them somewhere on your hard drive?
[05:06] <KyleK> chowder: apt-get install debootstrap and go from there
[05:07] <Agent_bob> webcamwonder and nickrud file is ~/.fonts.cache  and or ~/fonts.cache-1   on other dapper syatems.
[05:07] <chowder> KyleK: I have it but I'm not sure how to use it, that's the thing.
[05:07] <chowder> brb, pastebin
[05:07] <Bourne> Hi...
[05:07] <dns53> Zeroyez remove the root () line
[05:07] <Gohalien> help, something weird happened to me, i cant use shift key in my keyboard, also block num isnt working, it isnt keyboard issue because when i use it in a wine application is working ok .p
[05:07] <Bourne> I am getting some problem while running mono applications
[05:07] <xxjoshdenxx> dyf: Hi, just restarted the photo manager and i am able to get the photos and put them in the folder. Thanks for your help. you have save me getting bollocked about my coursework :D
[05:07] <xxjoshdenxx> :)
[05:08] <webcamwonder> Agent_bob I am all out:( sory
[05:08] <Agent_bob> webcamwonder and nickrud it is regenerated at login on other dapper systems    so what ever is broke, broke that.
[05:08] <Bourne> dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil_0.2-2ubuntu0.1_all.deb (--unpack):
[05:08] <Bourne>  trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/pkgconfig/mono-addins-gui.pc', which is also in package mono-addins-0.3
[05:08] <dyf> xxjoshdenxx: you're welcome.. glad it worked
[05:08] <webcamwonder> Agent_bob I though it was font cache you wanted to rebuild
[05:08] <vinboy> how do I control my scroll speed?
[05:08] <Agent_bob> webcamwonder yes,   in the users home
[05:08] <nickrud> Agent_bob on my hardy, I don't have .fc-cache, but .fontconfig. I don't have any real way to troubleshoot that
[05:08] <Bourne> i tried to search all the forums and also googled it many times but in no vain
[05:08] <Bourne> plz help..
[05:08] <dyf> vinboy: train your finger
[05:09] <vinboy> dyf: i use toes
[05:09] <dyf> vinboy: lol
[05:09] <webcamwonder> Agent_bob same here.. not font_cache... only fontconfig
[05:09] <Agent_bob> nickrud k      just want someone to know that a dapper update has changed that.
[05:09] <vinboy> how do I set mouse scroll speed in gnome?
[05:09] <Agent_bob> @webcamwonder 2
[05:09] <nickrud> Agent_bob you should try doing a search on bugs.ubuntu.com
[05:10] <dyf> vinboy: i think you'll have to get the mouse wheel daemon for a starter
[05:10] <Agent_bob> think someone has already reported it ?   i just updated last night and it borked
[05:10] <Agent_bob> was fine before that.
[05:10] <Bourne> pl help..
[05:10] <Bourne> any help is welcome..
[05:10] <nickrud> Agent_bob probably. Very few bugs that I find aren't in the tracking system when I recognize them
[05:11] <dyf> vinboy: seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-200488.html
[05:11] <Agent_bob> nickrud :)
[05:11] <wers> is there a code that would reinstall an app that I installed with a deb i didnt get from the repos?
[05:11] <nickrud> I'm tired when I write convoluted syntax like that. At least it parses ;(
[05:12] <webcamwonder> wers you could try to remove the application completely and reinstall from the deb?
[05:12] <dyf> wers: you should be able to reinstall it by double-clicking the package file
[05:12] <nickrud> Bourne do you have a 3d party repo added that provides mono?
[05:12] <wers> i lost the deb. hehe
[05:12] <mudit> has anyone got chat clients like yahelite or yazak working in ubuntu  ?
[05:12] <webcamwonder> wers: Try dyf's method. It should work
[05:13] <vinboy> thanks dyf
[05:13] <dyf> mudit: why would you wanna run such thing?
[05:13] <dyf> vinboy: did it work?
[05:13] <Bourne> no ..i dont whats the problem exactly ..but yes..i guess i have it..
[05:13] <mudit> dyf, they are the best yahoo chat clients
[05:13] <dyf> mudit: yahoo chat is meh
[05:14] <dyf> mudit: it's bot and spam chat
[05:14] <vinboy> dyf: it says set it in the firefox.. but i'm looking for a general settings in gnome
[05:14] <NetEcho> who  maintains the Ubuntu OpenOffice package?
[05:14] <dyf> mudit: and rooms can't have more than 50 people
[05:14] <webcamwonder> mudit: You can use Pidgin Messenger
[05:14] <nickrud> Bourne what thats about is you have a package mono-addins that has that file in it. when dpkg gets ready to install a new package, it checks to be sure it's not overwriting a file from another package.
[05:14] <chowder> info on my question @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/21741/
[05:14] <dyf> vinboy: i ee
[05:14] <dyf> see
[05:14] <dyf> NetEcho: george bush
[05:14] <mudit> i have tried gyache, and its not better than yahelite
[05:14] <vinboy> dyf:  it's ok.. i'll wait for the next release :)
[05:14] <BlueLaguna> How do I permanently load a kernel module?
[05:14] <PPKuma> hi, anybody here knows if its possible to mount a bin/cue w/o converting it to an iso?
[05:14] <nickrud> Bourne so someone didn't write their package to follow the ubuntu file structure.
[05:15] <dyf> mudit: use pidgin.. one program to connect to all protocols
[05:15] <BlueLaguna> After 6 hours of trying to do a clean Ubuntu install, it seems my HD won't work without a kernel module being loaded...
[05:15] <mudit> webcamwonder, pidgin has no voice support
[05:15] <dyf> BlueLaguna: how do you expect an operating system to work without a kernel?
[05:15] <unavailable> mudit and good look with gyache or gyachi
[05:15] <BlueLaguna> and now that it's installed, it won't start unless I do modprobe ide_generic in the initrdfs terminal
[05:15] <NetEcho> dyf the package is fubard
[05:15] <dyf> mudit: voice in yahoo chat is one person getting the mic and putting lame music all the time
[05:15] <BlueLaguna> dyf: I never said I did?
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> BlueLaguna cant you add that to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:16] <NetEcho> it makes it so -calc -writer -impress ect don't work
[05:16] <unavailable> dyf voice in yahoo is a free way for me to contact my friends
[05:16] <BlueLaguna> Jack_Sparrow: I don't know.  That's what I'm asking
[05:16] <mudit> dyf, that is almost true
[05:16] <dyf> unavailable: it is?
[05:16] <unavailable> dyf yep
[05:16] <dyf> unavailable: i use skype
[05:16] <BlueLaguna> Can I?  If so, how?
[05:16] <unavailable> dyf free longdistance
[05:16] <unavailable> dyf i dont like skype
[05:16] <unavailable> dyf skype is crap
[05:16] <NetEcho> Jack_Sparrow have you ran across these problems with OpenOffice? the debian pack seems to work fine but not the pack for 8.04
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> BlueLaguna gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst  add it to the command line before quiet and splash....
[05:17] <dyf> unavailable: me neither, but it does the job.. i'm not marrying the thing.. just call a friend up and have a voice chat
[05:17] <Bourne> so what can be done in order to resolve this problem..
[05:17] <dyf> unavailable: i don't like voice chat anyway
[05:17] <unavailable> mudit you could go to http://www.virtualbox.org and download that, install windows, and install yahoo im?
[05:17] <PunjabDaSher> hey guys how can i check if my webcam is functioning correctly (it's an integrated webcam)
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> BlueLaguna to get into your install now.. hit escape on boot to get grub menu then e then e then make the edit.. which will only work for this session then gksodu like I showed you
[05:18] <dyf> unavailable: so how do you use yahoo protocol to have a voice chat?
[05:18] <Bourne> removing everything and then installing once again can solve the problem...
[05:18] <dyf> unavailable: what program do you use?
[05:18] <mynetdude> is it possible to run an app that reads/writes to MS Access DB files that requires .net framework 1.1 in wine?
[05:18] <Bourne> or what else can be done..
[05:18] <NetEcho> anyone?
[05:18] <unavailable> dyf yahoo im
[05:18] <krisbo9000> Can anybody help me with intel graphics? I can't get it to work with HDMI.
[05:18] <chowder> can anyone help me in creating an Ubuntu minimal build from within an existing installation?
[05:18] <nickrud> Bourne remove mono-addins ,
[05:18] <chowder> http://paste.ubuntu.com/21741/
[05:18] <dyf> Bourne: you haven't stated the problem
[05:18] <dyf> afaik
[05:18] <dyf> unavailable: on ubuntu?
[05:19] <nickrud> Bourne apt-cache policy mono-addins will tell you what repo it's from
[05:19] <unavailable> dyf ubuntu > sun virtualbox > windows 2000 > yahoo im
[05:19] <Bourne> yes..nickrud...how to remove mono-addins
[05:19] <mynetdude> dyf maybe he is running YIM in wine?
[05:19] <dyf> unavailable: virtual box? never heard of that.. is it some kind of fork of wine?
[05:19] <pbts> hi. i would like some help with my webcam, if someone has the know-how & time...
[05:19] <nickrud> Bourne apt-get remove --purge mono-addins . You might find it trying to remove some other packages that were installed from the 3d party repo as well
[05:19] <unavailable> dyf nope
[05:19] <krisbo9000> :)
[05:19] <pbts> virtual box is not like wine
[05:19] <mynetdude> unavailable virtualbox does virtualization right?
[05:19] <unavailable> dyf its a virtual box you can install any type of os on
[05:19] <pbts> it's like vmware
[05:20] <unavailable> yep
[05:20] <BlueLaguna> Jack_Sparrow: I've already installed the system.  Modproble is a kernel option?
[05:20] <mynetdude> ah so it is a vmware type thing
[05:20] <krisbo9000> can you run word 2003 through virtua box if you set it up right?
[05:20] <pbts> the built in camera is of a type that is recognized (it's in the list on the uvcvideo page)
[05:20] <mynetdude> which means it could be slower than you'd want it to be
[05:20] <linxuz3r> hello
[05:20] <Bourne> E: Couldn't find package mono-addins
[05:20] <BlueLaguna> Jack_Sparrow: I didn't realize it could be passed along with those options?  I thought it was a command
[05:20] <Jack_Sparrow> BlueLaguna I am just suggesting a different way to handle this
[05:20] <Jewfro> krisbo9000, you can run anything the OS you install in virtualbox can run.
[05:20] <dyf> unavailable: i see.. that's much of a hassle don't you think? i mean install skype on linux and move along.. what that stuff you have to install a virtual box and probably do some weird configurations to get it to work
[05:20] <pbts> but luvcview says error 22 (which is a well-known but apparently unfixed error on the net...)
[05:20] <Bourne> after doing "apt-get remove --purge mono-addins"
[05:21] <unavailable> dyf less hassle than getting all my friends to move to skype
[05:21] <dyf> unavailable: my suggestion is use skype
[05:21] <pbts> and ekiga, camaroma just say they cannot connect to the device
[05:21] <unavailable> dyf thats why skype is crap
[05:21] <dyf> unavailable: lol
[05:21] <Bourne> i am getting "E: Couldn't find package mono-addins"
[05:21] <nickrud> Bourne sorry, mono-addins-0.3
[05:21] <mynetdude> dyf I noticed ubuntu comes with some kind of softphone but I know nothing
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> BlueLaguna   To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[05:21] <Jewfro> dyf - virtualbox is quite easy, but seems like overkill for YIM - I'd try wine
[05:21] <unavailable> dyf ill stick with my virtualbox
[05:21] <BlueLaguna> Jack_Sparrow: You misunderstand me
[05:21] <krisbo9000> does anyone here know how to get HDMI to work with intel graphics chip GM965 ...?
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> BlueLaguna but in your case.. 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, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false
[05:21] <KyleK> how do I boot single user mode?
[05:21] <unavailable> jewfro ive tried wine, yahooim crashes, and i cant seem to gix it...
[05:21] <BlueLaguna> I have already installed Ubuntu.
[05:21] <unavailable> *fix
[05:22] <dyf> unavailable: wouldn't 'yahoo maessenger for linux' have voice chat support?
[05:22] <Bourne> yes ..successfully removed mono-addins-0.3
[05:22] <unavailable> jewfro but trackmania works in wine
[05:22] <Bourne> now what next has to be done..
[05:22] <unavailable> dyf yahoo messanger for linux sucks
[05:22] <mynetdude> Does anybody know if its possible to run an app that reads/writes to/from a MSAccess DB file in which this app also requires .net framework 1.1 can be run in wine?
[05:22] <nickrud> Bourne no try installing the package you wanted in the first place
[05:22] <bringatowel> unavailable, try Pidgin
[05:22] <unavailable> dyf its old as crap
[05:22] <mynetdude> I mean I'm not sure how to install .net framework 1.1 since wine isn't windows
[05:22] <bringatowel> !pidgin
[05:22] <Jewfro> unavailable, maybe you need to install some other software also - under wine - or add some native dll support - google it - maybe someone else has done it
[05:22] <krisbo9000> it seems i already have the intel drivers installed - but when i try to put ubuntu on my tv via HDMI it doesnt handle it
[05:22] <Bourne> ya...ok..
[05:22] <NetEcho> Whenever I try to launch OpenOffice it gives me the splash screen then stops loading the program and terminates without error, does anyone have any idea how to fix this
[05:22] <unavailable> bringatowel again... pidgin does not have voice support
[05:23] <Jewfro> unavailable, what about kopete?
[05:23] <krisbo9000> Or perhaps there is a program that can detect screens for me - that i can use easily to edit parameters
[05:23] <mynetdude> I don't think pidgin offers voice chat, not sure about kopete?
[05:23] <krisbo9000> anyone?
[05:23] <unavailable> jewfro bringatowel dyf im using what i like, i dont need help..
[05:23] <BlueLaguna> Jack_Sparrow: In order to get the LiveCD running, I had to pass the "break=top" boot option so I could do "mod_probe ide_generic".  The kernel doesn't seem to like my hard drive otherwise.  However, now that I have it installed, it didn't boot at first.  Instead it fell back to the initrdfs console and I had to type modprobe again in order to boot
[05:23] <Jack_Sparrow> BlueLaguna I understand you have installed ubuntu..  I am sipl suggesting you can add  all_generic_ide to the command line at boot or one of the other many options that some people need
[05:24] <BlueLaguna> I see
[05:24] <unavailable> jewfro bringatowel dyf and no kopete. gyache and gyachi dont work
[05:24] <bringatowel> unavailable, you might want to check out www.amsn-project.net , otherwise id suggest Skype
[05:24] <BlueLaguna> Jack_Sparrow: It would've been simpler if you didn't list every command line option imaginable :-P
[05:24] <unavailable> jewfro bringatowel dyf im using what i like, i dont need help..
[05:24] <dyf> unavailable: i never tried gyache, simply because i didn't like its name
[05:25] <unavailable> rofl
[05:25] <Jack_Sparrow> BlueLaguna   To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add  all_generic_ide before the "--"   and see if it boots and sees your hard drive
[05:25] <bringatowel> unavailable, um, ok, why did you bring it up?
[05:25] <unavailable> bringatowel i didnt
[05:25] <Jewfro> NetEcho, try renaming the .openoffice.org2 in your home folder to .openoffice.org2~ - and see if it launches - could be botched settings
[05:25] <Jack_Sparrow> BlueLaguna You didnt seem to be getting the drift of what I was telling you
[05:26] <mynetdude> ok I guess its not possible to run .net framework 1.1 and this app together in wine... so I will virtualize
[05:26] <unavailable> bringatowel:  mudit>	webcamwonder, pidgin has no voice support
[05:26] <NetEcho> Jewfro k thanks I'll try
[05:26] <PunjabDaSher> Anybody know a chat program that supports AV chat
[05:26] <mynetdude> which means more pointless space to be taken up by a 2nd OS
[05:26] <bringatowel> unavailable, well someone did, feel free to pass those tips along to them
[05:26] <unavailable> bringatowel mudit brought it up
[05:26] <BlueLaguna> Jack_Sparrow: I just don't see how the LiveCD is relevant anymore.  Are you saying I should add ﻿all_generic_ide to menu.lst?
[05:26] <unavailable> and i did
[05:27] <NetEcho> Jewfro nope
[05:27] <Jewfro> NetEcho, you can name it back then - that was my one idea - besides checking the log file - or doing a re-install: sudo aptitude reinstall openoffice.org
[05:27] <NetEcho> did that about 6 times heh
[05:27] <Jack_Sparrow> BlueLaguna I know you got it installed... I am saying you can test what I am telling you by running the livecd again and editing the command line...  or you can boot your existing install and do a one time edit of your grub command line or you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:28] <NetEcho> I'm gonna try the package off their website
[05:29] <webcamwonder> mynetdude did you try to winetrick .net packages?
[05:29] <BlueLaguna> Jack_Sparrow: Alright.  Thanks, I'll try adding it to menu.lst
[05:29] <dyf> my menu.lst is too long
[05:30] <dyf> because ubuntu is releasing a kernel update like every two weeks
[05:30] <unavailable> dyf dont feel bad i got 8 kernels in mine
[05:30] <dyf> i gotta clean up the old kernels
[05:30] <BlueLaguna> dyf: Heh, yeah.  Mine used to be too.  Especially since I tried all the betas since Breezy
[05:30] <dyf> BlueLaguna: you haven't reinstalled your system since Breazy?
[05:30] <dyf> :|
[05:31] <BlueLaguna> Nope.
[05:31] <unavailable> O_o
[05:31] <BlueLaguna> I was using Kubuntu actually
[05:31] <ronin1234> How do I get tv-out (with s video) working on a M2A-VM HDMI (Raedon X1250) with flgrx ubuntu8.04?
[05:31] <BlueLaguna> dyf: dist-upgrade has worked out pretty well
[05:31] <dyf> BlueLaguna: you must enter the Guinness world record
[05:31] <BlueLaguna> until they came up with the release manager
[05:31] <BlueLaguna> then I used that
[05:32] <jscinoz> is it just me or does timevault not actually do anything? for me after configuring it and telling it to make a baseline of /home/jack and /etc it doesnt do anything (no upload or disk activity), any ideas what im doing wron?
[05:33] <morghanphoenix> Anyone know what could cause the following error:

[05:35] <elia> hi, i just got the ubuntu....first time with linux and i am having problems with downloading things ie: opera for linux. i download it and extract but after i open the extracted folder and click run nothing happens
[05:35] <morghanphoenix> Anything that short would be a waste to use pastebin.
[05:35] <dyf> Datz: are you having trouble identifying which one is the hard drive you want to mount?
[05:36] <Datz> dyf I think it was renamed when I upgraded to "hardy".  How would I find it now?
[05:36] <webcamwonder> eliva You can get the debian package for opera... that would install directly
[05:36] <dyf> Datz: "hda" is deprecated
[05:36] <dyf> Datz: they use "sda" only now
[05:36] <elia> webcamwonder were is that?
[05:36] <dyf> no "hda" no more
[05:36] <webcamwonder> elisa wait
[05:36] <dyf> gone

[05:36] <Datz> dyf, ok  :)
[05:36] <bullgard4> "The ABI in 2.6.22-4-generic is '4'." What stands 'ABI' for?
[05:36] <webcamwonder> elisa http://www.opera.com/download/linux/
[05:36] <dyf> Datz: you have to delete "hda" from your brain memory
[05:37] <dyf> rm -rf /brain/hda

[05:41] <unavailable> check the links

[05:41] <unavailable> specifically the disk and partitioning one
[05:41] <genii> unavailable: Possibly th copyright dates need updating from 2006
[05:41] <nickrud> Geoffrey2 good question, I haven't used it for extracting, I've been using sound-juicer
[05:41] <unavailable> check the links
[05:41] <unavailable> specifically the disk and partitioning one
[05:42] <unavailable> it sends to office
[05:42] <nickrud> unavailable file a bug (after checking for one, of course) against ubuntu-doc
[05:42] <neil_d> is there a ubuntu version for virtual-box i.e. cut down to only include drivers etc. needed.
[05:42] <azazel> Hi
[05:42]  * unavailable knows that disk and partitioning *should* have nothing to do with office docs
[05:42] <nickrud> unavailable or two, get your karma up :)
[05:42] <azazel> CAn anyone help me with HDMI sound on an ati card?
[05:43] <rayvis> I'm having issues with my wireless internet with Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop
[05:43] <crimsun_> azazel: sure, but first I'll need lspci -nv|grep -A1 0403
[05:43] <Red|Laptop> i'm an oil man
[05:43] <unavailable> rofl
[05:44] <Red|Laptop> this is my son and partner, h.w.
[05:44] <Bourne> hello
[05:44] <jrib> Red|Laptop: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[05:44] <Bourne> yess....
[05:44] <Bourne> now getting this error
[05:44] <Bourne> Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: A null reference or invalid value was found [GDI+ status: InvalidParameter]
[05:44] <rayvis> It will stay connected for between 5 and 10 minutes then it still says it's connected to the router but I have no internet capabilities.
[05:45] <Geoffrey2> gkelly: the difference...typically pause holds your current position and continues from that point when you unpause, stopping a song causes it to start over from the beginning if you decide to play it again
[05:45] <Red|Laptop> jrib, i do not, but i like to think of myself as an oil man
[05:45] <crimsun_> azazel: make sure you're running 2.6.24-19-generic from hardy-proposed.
[05:45] <dyf> Red|Laptop: i am the boogy man
[05:46] <mixed> anybody knows of a website where I can learn more about ubuntu???
[05:46] <jrib> Red|Laptop: this channel is only for ubuntu support.  Please move all other discussion somewhere else
[05:46] <unavailable> nickrud   link to bug filing page?

[05:46] <yarddog> is hardy-proposed considered stable?
[05:46] <nickrud> unavailable bugs.ubuntu.com, and the package is ubuntu-docs
[05:46] <mixed> neil_d, i'm looking at ubuntu.com but I was thinking about a little more technical
[05:46] <KyleK> yarddog: no
[05:47] <nickrud> yarddog not by me, but I'll take crimsun_'s word about the quality of that package
[05:47] <rayvis> Anyone able to help me with my wireless connection?
[05:47] <IndyGunFreak> yarddog: unless you have some specific need for it,i would avoid it.
[05:47] <alakdan> anyone know how I can have  a local mirror of http://download.tuxfamily.org/geubuntu/hardy/
[05:47] <onealphacharlie> has anybody installed ubuntu into an old imac g3?

[05:47] <Quintin> I've unticked ""import digital photographs when connected"" but fspot still loads when I put in a SD card.  how do I stop that?
[05:48] <mixed> anyone knows of a website where I can learn more about ubuntu?  I want to learn about ubuntu linux specifics, for example, startup, how modules get loaded,  the configuration, etc
[05:48] <onealphacharlie> dyf: is the mac i386 based?
[05:48] <jrib> mixed: ubottu gave you some very good info which includes TLDP and the rute book
[05:48] <neil_d> mixed: https://help.ubuntu.com/   get technical
[05:48] <dyf> onealphacharlie: i thought macs were ppc based

[05:48] <mixed> dyf, linux from scratch?  i want to be a little more specific, im using ubuntu
[05:48] <dyf> the g3s
[05:48] <enaner> what is kalway?
[05:48] <onealphacharlie> i forgot that they only went intel recently
[05:48] <KyleK> dyf: they made a few intel x86 macs, not really that common ;)
[05:49] <Bourne> yes i have reinstalled mono-addins again after installing missing dependencies
[05:49] <azazel> crimsun_, desktop:~$ uname -r
[05:49] <azazel> 2.6.24-19-generic
[05:49] <mixed> jrib,  im not seeing the post from ubottu???
[05:49] <Bourne> then when i run my msngr then i get this error..
[05:49] <crimsun_> azazel: ok, good.  Now do you want audio routed through your ATI card?
[05:49] <dyf> mixed: what more about ubuntu do you want to learn?
[05:49] <jrib> mixed: check your private messages
[05:49] <azazel> crimsun_, Yes
[05:49] <crimsun_> azazel: install the pavucontrol package.
[05:49] <Bourne> i not able to find out whts the problem exactly..
[05:49] <mixed> jrib, now i see the private messages, thanks

[05:50] <dyf> !documentation | mixed
[05:50] <nickrud> Bourne you haven't even told us what you are doing when you get that error
[05:50] <Bourne> yess.
[05:50] <mixed> dyf, i want to learn the config directories, how modules get loaded, and how to change look and feel, etc.
[05:50] <azazel> Done
[05:50] <Bourne> i have made a msngr prgm in .net 2.0
[05:50] <azazel> crimsun_,  Done
[05:50] <Bourne> and then using sharpdevelop in windows i compiled it for mono platform.
[05:50] <LivingInTwilight> You know, this is halfway ridiculous. I've never seen a distro where 3D acceleration AND WPA2 wireless worked out of the box.
[05:51] <Bourne> and then after coming to unix platform
[05:51] <crimsun_> azazel: now start pavucontrol
[05:51] <Bourne> i reinstalled latest mono version
[05:51] <azazel> crimsun_,  Done
[05:51] <dyf> mixed: i don't think you can learn these technical details with ubuntu documentation
[05:51] <Bourne> and i have doing this for the past 1 month
[05:51] <crimsun_> azazel: choose the Output Devices tab
[05:51] <nickrud> ah, http://www.mono-project.com/IRC bourne, you'll get better help writing in mono there
[05:51] <azazel> crimsun_,  Done
[05:51] <Hilikus> hey guys, can i just run apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade to hardy from gutsy?
[05:51] <Bourne> no..
[05:52] <crimsun_> azazel: right-click the ATI card's selection and choose Default
[05:52] <Bourne> there are no ppll
[05:52] <mixed> dyf, the pages that you just sent me can be a start, though, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
[05:52] <dyf> mixed: most books and documents on ubuntu tell you the obvious stuff
[05:52] <jrib> !upgrade > Hilikus (read the private message from ubottu)
[05:52] <Bourne> to help me out there in that chatroom
[05:52] <jrib> Hilikus: no, see ubottu for the proper way
[05:52] <azazel> crimsun_,  I don't see it in there
[05:52] <dyf> mixed: get a more geeky distro
[05:52] <mixed> dyf, true, that is why i am opting for a website instead
[05:52] <nickrud> Bourne there's some forums there as well. This is an ubuntu system help channel, not mono programming
[05:52] <crimsun_> azazel: what options do you see?
[05:52] <ronin12345> are these the newest ati drivers
[05:52] <ronin12345> 2.1.7412 Release
[05:52] <GoldeNArX> hey guys
[05:52] <Bourne> very sorry nickrud
[05:52] <dyf> mixed: get a linux book
[05:52] <mixed> dyf, i don't think i want to get geekier than i already am but thanks for the advice
[05:52] <azazel> crimsun_, ALSA PCM on front:0 (AD198x Analog) via DMA
[05:52] <nickrud> Bourne and the channel's I'm pointing you at aren't on Freenode
[05:52] <dyf> mixed: get a life!
[05:53] <nickrud> Bourne you probably haven't been in those yet
[05:53] <dyf> mixed: scratch the last one
[05:53] <mixed> what's a "life"??? and how much ram does it come with?
[05:53] <azazel> crimsun_, Show: All Output Devices
[05:53] <crimsun_> azazel: ah, probably a channel mapping issue, then.
[05:53] <Bourne> i understand what you are saying
[05:53] <mixed> and more importantly, can i buy a "life" on ebay??
[05:54] <azazel> crimsun_, Ahh, what should I be looking for then?
[05:54] <Bourne> but if find any ppl helping regarding unix system
[05:54] <GoldeNArX> I have a new install of server 8.04 seems fully functional except for the NIC.  ifconfig shows it as present and I can pig the loopback as well as the assigned ip but cant ping anything inside the same network (or vice verse).  I've done modprobe -r e1000 then modprobe e1000, it reloads the module fine.
[05:54] <dyf> mixed apt-get life
[05:54] <dyf> E: Invalid operation life
[05:54] <crimsun_> azazel: can you hear `aplay -Dplughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav' ?
[05:54] <Bourne> regarding mono then i feel relieved..
[05:54] <GoldeNArX> if I do dmesg it says "link not ready"
[05:54] <GoldeNArX> anyone?
[05:54] <dyf> mixed: life is an invalid operation
[05:54] <Bourne> sorry for that emotion attitude..
[05:54] <mixed> dyf, here is my first project, how can i get create a restore point on ubuntu?
[05:54] <rrowell> Wow, any ubuntu or debian devs here?  If so congrats, 8.04 rocks really hard, my Dell D820 just works now: hibernate, wi-fi, nvidia binary drivers, everything for the first time since I've owned the machine nearly 3 years...
[05:54] <rrowell> Thank you ubuntu devs!
[05:55] <LivingInTwilight> rrowell, I know, right? My Toshiba A305 works like a champ, too.
[05:55] <Geoffrey2> since the ogg format is regularly promoted around here...where can I find music in that format?
[05:55] <nickrud> Bourne no, I understand frustration with an error you can't track down, just that you're gonna get very lucky to get programming help in a pm from here
[05:55] <crimsun_> rrowell: I'm sure they would appreciate a note on the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list :-)
[05:55] <dyf> mixed: i think you would need a sophisticated backup program for that.. i'm not a pro user myself
[05:55] <ronin12345> anyone know how to update to the latest version of fglrx?
[05:55] <azazel> crimsun_, Nope
[05:55] <dyf> mixed: or ask in ##linux
[05:55] <gitfiddler> hi all, having trouble updating ubuntu 6.10, get error message saying not all repository indexes could be downloaded. is this a problem on my end or have these moved or something?
[05:55] <azazel> crimsun_, It plays it but I don't hear a thing through my pc cspeakers
[05:56] <nickrud> gitfiddler 6.10 is now obsolete
[05:56] <crimsun_> azazel: how about `aplay -Dplughw:1 /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav'?
[05:56] <gitfiddler> yah, hence effort to update
[05:56] <crimsun_> azazel: and, err, I assume you have your speakers connected to the ATI card and not the onboard?
[05:56] <K^Holtz> OK, my printer just complained that it was out of ink, but i have no way of telling which cartridge is out. I have a Canon IP5000 printer. In windows, a box would come up with printer properties, but i dont have this in Linux. Any way to get those canon windows to display?
[05:56] <aixenv> gitfiddler : maybe you have a bad link in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[05:56] <azazel> aplay: main:546: audio open error: No such file or directory
[05:57] <nickrud> gitfiddler you can use old-release.ubuntu.com to bring it totally up to date so you can upgrade to 7.04
[05:57] <azazel> I have both
[05:57] <azazel> I have speakers going to my sound system
[05:57] <nickrud> gitfiddler old-releases.ubuntu.com that is
[05:57] <mixed> dyf, thanks for the 411, I am off to read the websites you pointed me to
[05:57] <Bourne> ya...the mono ppl really dont help that fast...may be they are busy..
[05:57] <gitfiddler> hmm, that link didn't work
[05:57] <crimsun_> azazel: hmm?  That error is odd.
[05:57] <azazel> And HDMI on the 56" TV I'm sitting in front of
[05:57] <Bourne> but if you can tell me smone that would really help..
[05:57] <crimsun_> azazel: are you sure you copied the command correctly?
[05:57] <gitfiddler> that got it
[05:58] <Geoffrey2> of course, one could always just download the iso, burn it to cd, and do a fresh install from that....
[05:58] <azazel> crimsun_,  Positive

[05:58] <DigitalNinja> I'm trying to get a Gigabyte motherboard working. I hit the power button and nothing happens. Any suggestions? Would like to get Ubuntu installed.
[05:58] <gitfiddler> thanks, i'll play around here for a bit
[05:58] <Bourne> anyways..
[05:58] <jrib> DigitalNinja: try ##hardware
[05:58] <Bourne> thanx nickrud
[05:58] <nickrud> Bourne yw
[05:58] <Bourne> for all that help..
[05:58] <DigitalNinja> jrib: thanks
[05:59] <rrowell> I do have a question though, is there some way to let Ubuntu know I use the -generic kernel so it will quit borking my menu.lst every time I upgrade?  seems like I should be able to dpkg-reconfigure something, but can't find what...
[05:59] <azazel> crimsun_, I hear Dplughw:0 on my pc cpeakers
[05:59] <azazel> crimsun_, integrated audio I mean
[05:59] <dkam> Hey guys - is there any way to get a newer version of rubygems onto a hardy box using apt?
[06:00] <crimsun_> azazel: right.  What's connected to your HDMI?
[06:00] <dkam> For example - can I add a testing source?
[06:00] <aixenv> dkam : 1.8 is on there
[06:00] <KyleK> rrowell: remove the other ones?
[06:00] <jrib> rrowell: be more specific about what you mean by "bork".  If you have linux-image-generic installed and no other general linux-image-*, it should work fine
[06:00] <dkam> aixenv rubygems - not ruby
[06:00] <azazel> crimsun_, SAmsung TV with builtin speakers
[06:01] <aixenv> dkam: libgems-ruby1.8 - libraries to use RubyGems, a package management framework
[06:01] <aixenv> pkg desc talks about rubygems :)
[06:01] <ronin12345> flgrx how do i install the latest version?
[06:01] <crimsun_> azazel: ok, this question may be silly, but... are the speakers muted or zeroed?
[06:01] <GoldeNArX> I have a new install of server 8.04 seems fully functional except for the NIC.  ifconfig shows it as present and I can pig the loopback as well as the assigned ip but cant ping anything inside the same network (or vice verse).  I've done modprobe -r e1000 then modprobe e1000, it reloads the module fine. any input for me on this guys?
[06:01] <azazel> crimsun_, Negative
[06:01] <dkam> aixenv: That looks like the gem library for ruby 1.8 - I'm mean the "rubygems" package - unless I'm not following you.
[06:02] <user01> how do i get my screen out of 640x480 mode?
[06:02] <Bourne> yes...but if you find any help or any hint to my problem plz mail me at   crazy.engineer@yah**.com
[06:02] <azazel> crimsun_, The only thing I haven't tested is the cable
[06:02] <aixenv> dkam: they are all part of the install..==> irb1.8 libgems-ruby1.8 libopenssl-ruby1.8 libreadline-ruby1.8 libruby1.8

[06:02] <LivingInTwilight> GoldeNArX, is it a dynamically allocated IP?
[06:03] <PunjabDaSher> guys i need some help connecting to a windows home network -- i have samba correctly installed and i cannot see my computers within the mshome workgroup they are in
[06:04] <azazel> PunjabDaSher, Do you have any folders shared?
[06:04] <PunjabDaSher> yep
[06:04] <dkam> aixenv: The version of ruby gems included in Hardy doesn't work with low memory - (256mb xen box). I can compile my own version, but I was wondering if Ubuntu, like Debian, allows you to add extra sources for specific packages.
[06:04] <PunjabDaSher> the sharing works between windows computers
[06:04] <aixenv> dkam: yes it does
[06:04] <PunjabDaSher> so i have the sharing set up correctly
[06:04] <GoldeNArX> if I want to force a nic to use 100mbit instead of auto negotiate
[06:04] <aixenv> dkam: that's an apt-get thing not an ubuntu thing
[06:04] <GoldeNArX> how would I do that
[06:04] <rrowell> jrib: but after each upgrade ubuntu blows away my menu.lst and the machine boots the i386 kernel in preference to the -generic... I'd like to have the -i386 kernel around I just don't want to boot it by default
[06:05] <aixenv> dkam: i'd check their website for possible other source choices for devel, or just compile from a tarball?
[06:05] <dkam> aixenv: Righto - I'll have a look. I can do it manually - but I'd like to be able to install it with puppet - which means apt is better/easier.
[06:06] <aixenv> dkam: idea#2 make your own pkg :)
[06:06] <aixenv> there's a ruby channel ive been in there before they might have an idea too
[06:06] <jrib> rrowell: ah, I see.  Don't know then
[06:06] <aixenv>  #rubygems if i recall
[06:07] <aixenv> rrowell : modify your /boot/grub/menu.1st after each kernel upgrade?
[06:07] <rrowell> jrib: for example, during the upgrade the i386 Nvidia drivers were auto-installed but not the -generic ones which I had to install manually via Synaptic, and I had to edit menu.lst to set the default kernel at boot...
[06:07] <rrowell> aixenv, that is what I'm doing now
[06:08] <rrowell> but like you can see what I said to jrib, it is only half the solution at best...
[06:08] <aixenv> rrowell : that's sufficient man, just edit it once per kernel upgrade,
[06:08] <aixenv> as long as you dont recompile/update the kernel your menu.1st should "stick"
[06:08] <aixenv> rrowell : maybe try the menu.1st as 666 :P
[06:08] <aixenv> oops
[06:08] <aixenv> rrowell :444 :)
[06:09] <mynameistux> I am having a bit of a problem with ccsm, can someone please point me in the direction of a pastebin, so I can post the error message.
[06:09] <aixenv> it's late blame the lateness.. on the wrong perm heh
[06:09] <lolo> how does one go about fixing overscan on an hdtv with ubuntu?
[06:09] <rantic> I just recently installed ubuntu and got 3d acceleration, is their a guide for installing all those perty compiz/beryl things on 8.04? All I could find was a guide to troubleshooting it
[06:10] <azazel> What's an average glx gears score?
[06:10] <jrib> !ccsm | rantic
[06:10] <aixenv> lolo : probably within your tv configuration , when i hooked my distro up to my hdtv there was some parameters on the tv itself to tweak
[06:10] <rrowell> mynameistux, I like cpp.sourceforge.net, but it is obviously C++ centric...
[06:10] <s_spiff> rantic : as such there is no howto for it.. u just need to try out stuff yourself. see what you like and enable..
[06:10] <lolo> aixenv: do you remember what u tweaked?
[06:10] <aixenv> lolo : it'd be specific to your tv bro
[06:10] <mynameistux> nvr mind, am on the compiz channel instead
[06:11] <aixenv> lolo : and no i dont that was a few mths ago
[06:11] <lolo> o ok thanks for your help ill give it a shot

[06:12] <darthanubis> Bug #237801
[06:12] <prettyricky> how do I add files as root to a folder? I'm trying to install new screensavers....
[06:12] <Geoffrey2> is compiz/fusion actually supposed to add anything functionality wise to ubuntu, or just some minor eye candy?
[06:12] <aixenv> prettyricky : files?
[06:12] <s_spiff> Geoffrey2: only eye candy
[06:12] <aixenv> prettyricky : 'touch foobar' ? 'vi foo' ?
[06:13] <aixenv> prettyricky : are you running X as root?
[06:13] <s_spiff> Geoffrey2: unless you consider the window switcher via different ways as functionality.
[06:13] <Exershio> hey
[06:13] <user01> isnt there a command where i can go through and edit xorg configuration?
[06:14] <prettyricky> aixenv= I downloaded a screensaver and I need to Unpack and copy each file (4) to /usr/share/gnome-screensaver
[06:14] <aixenv> prettyricky : do you know where they downloaded to? and in what type of extension?
[06:14] <s_spiff> user01: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.cong
[06:14] <prettyricky> but when I try doing it I get permission denied
[06:14] <nickrud> Geoffrey2 it's very customizable, I turn off nearly all the eye candy but expo and scale are excellent. Other stuff to your own taste
[06:14] <aixenv> prettyricky : ie tar / tar.gz / tgz / bz2/ etc
[06:14] <s_spiff> user01: xorg.conf.. not cong.
[06:14] <prettyricky> I downloaded them to the desktop
[06:14] <aixenv> prettyricky : type 'whoami'
[06:15] <user01> like a dpkg-reconfigure
[06:15] <tanner> wtf is up with the high IOwait and poor transfer speeds?
[06:15] <prettyricky> type whoami where?
[06:15] <Exershio> using FGLRX (8.6), I have finally discovered why WoW with wine makes the graphics skip every second causing the game to run really choppy. This only happens when pixel shaders are disabled. However, disabling pixel shaders is the only way to get all the textures to render. Any ideas? D3D mode works perfect, but very, very slow (10fps)
[06:15] <prettyricky> in the terminal?
[06:15] <aixenv> prettyricky : are you running X as root?
[06:15] <prettyricky> sorry but how do I know that
[06:15] <aixenv> prettyricky : or do you have like a user 'prettyricky' for example
[06:16] <prettyricky> yes I have user prettyricky
[06:16] <aixenv> open up a terminal
[06:16] <aixenv> type whoami
[06:16] <aixenv> tell me the output
[06:16] <rantic> ubottu: thanks, got it working ^^
[06:16] <rantic> aw :(
[06:16] <KyleK> ^_^
[06:16] <prettyricky> prettyricky

[06:16] <aixenv> ..'cd /home/prettyricky/Desktop'
[06:17] <Uplink> do i get virus if i go to doom3.zoy.org???
[06:17] <KyleK> cd ~/Desktop
[06:17] <aixenv> then do an 'ls' and see if you see your files
[06:17] <aixenv> KyleK : im trying to not confuse him :)
[06:17] <KyleK> Uplink: how would we know?
[06:17] <Uplink> KyleK, because that website has a virus
[06:17] <KyleK> oh

[06:17] <aixenv> UPlink : you're on linux?...those are far and few between :)
[06:17] <KyleK> kewl

[06:20] <evocallagha> I got a mate on the phone and he is trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on a x86 AMD box with rather generic hardware that was working before.
[06:20] <aixenv> Prettyricky : do you know the name of the files?
[06:20] <prettyricky> /home/prettyricky/Desktop/67573-gnome-screensaver-turbolence.tar.gz
[06:20] <aixenv> evocallagha : and the errors are?
[06:21] <evocallagha> However, the new 8.04 has not much in the way of errors on screen now .. After it boots the CD it gets to Kernel 100% and hangs
[06:21] <aixenv> prettyricky : ok 'cd /home/prettyricky/Desktop/'
[06:21] <Uplink> prettyricky, what are u trying to do
[06:21] <Twan> I did a bunch of ubuntu updates last night and now my whole laptop is messed up. For one, I can't connect to the Internet anymore, and I can't modify network settings.
[06:21] <aixenv> UPlink : i got him
[06:21] <Twan> It says I'm restricted.
[06:21] <Uplink> kk
[06:21] <aixenv> Uplink : worry about your virii :)
[06:21] <evocallagha> I told him to pass acpi=off and noapic with not much help at all
[06:21] <Uplink> KyleK, goatse.cx ???
[06:21] <nickrud> evocallagha hit ctl-alt-f4 , that should show you the installation log and give you an idea of what's happening
[06:21] <bj_> acpi is the power management service
[06:22] <PunjabDaSher> Guys help me with some home network issues please
[06:22] <Uplink> aixenv, i actually do, because i have an NTFS partition with windows on this PC
[06:22] <prettyricky> ok Im there
[06:22] <evocallagha> ﻿nickrud:This is after GRUB, so the kernel has not bootstraped yet, that would not work
[06:22] <aixenv> Uplink : dude.. the linux distro will be fine, it wont execute exe files/bat/ etc
[06:22] <KyleK> anyhoo
[06:22] <prettyricky> what I am trying to do is install a screensaver but when I try adding it to the gnome folder I get permission denied
[06:22] <Uplink> aixenv, alright - ty
[06:22] <aixenv> prettyricky : type 'tar -zxvf $filename' (where $filename = that tar.gz)
[06:22] <nickrud> evocallagha I was assuming this was during the install, sorry
[06:22] <KyleK> aixenv: uh linux isn't bullet proof
[06:23] <bj_> a screensaver?
[06:23] <aixenv> pretty: ill help you just one step at a time :)
[06:23] <bj_> is it for linux?
[06:23] <metalpres> is anyone else having a problem with wine not working in hardy?  it wont work at all for me using the version in the ubuntu repos, and it wont work using the 1.0 release from the winehq repos,  it doesnt do anything
[06:23] <Twan> Anyone know how to re-install the service that configures my network?
[06:23] <bj_> I'm using wine in 8.04
[06:23] <aixenv> KyleK : i havent ever gotten a virii on linux/freebsd/etc, if users are stupid anything is possible
[06:23] <Uplink> OMG
[06:23] <evocallagha> NO. Let me explain again; Just after the system gets passed GRUB it hangs at Kernel 100%

[06:28] <generic> hi all any one works on openct
[06:28] <Uplink> philsf, i know, so i just stopped asking... i just didnt liked to be treated like a stupid
[06:28] <aixenv> Uplink : did you even have a question?
[06:28] <generic> for secure email communication
[06:28] <generic> ?
[06:28] <aixenv> UPlink  "like a stupid" ? <[06:28] <prettyricky> is there an easier way to act as root, to have the permission needed to do whatever I want and move files and folders around without getting the permission denied
[06:28] <NetEcho> bazhang I think one part of vido's help actually is useful to the issue... just sugar coated with food
[06:28] <Uplink> see what i mean?
[06:28] <aixenv> prettyricky  : 'sudo'
[06:28] <Uplink> ok, ty anyways i ma shut up

[06:30] <Uplink> NetEcho, ok, the webpage doom3.zoy.org has a virus and i wondered what would happen if i go there with linux since i dont have an anti virus on linux
[06:30] <doglino> hi
[06:30]  * aixenv sighs
[06:30] <NetEcho> Uplink its a windows virus
[06:30] <bazhang> !virus | Uplink
[06:30] <NetEcho> simple as that
[06:31] <Uplink> NetEcho, then why my firefox goes crazy?
[06:31] <aixenv> as i stated UPlink.. you're in linux dont worry about virii :)
[06:31] <evocallagha> ﻿Uplink:I was wondering if your a virus ?
[06:31] <Uplink> and asks me to open xchat
[06:31] <doglino> hi
[06:31] <Uplink> ok, can someone explain me why please? thats all i want to know
[06:31] <evocallagha> God, has anyone got a clue here
[06:31] <aixenv> UPlink : read the link
[06:31] <bazhang> Uplink, we gave a link; please read it.
[06:31] <Uplink> i did, twice in fact
[06:32] <Uplink> but i dont understand a word
[06:32] <aixenv> Uplink : [06:32] <kenny> my workspace doesn't work on ubuntu, how?
[06:32] <bazhang> Uplink, then stop the chatting.
[06:32] <Uplink> why? isnt this "help" channel?
[06:32] <aixenv> UPlink : ok in laymens terms.. virii wont impact you in linux as the bot said.. "linux doesn't have a virus problem"
[06:32] <nickrud> Uplink read the source of the page. We know it's a bad page, so don't go there
[06:32] <aixenv> are you just playing stupid?
[06:32] <evocallagha> ﻿Uplink:http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[06:32] <aixenv> like 3-4 dif ppl gave you a legit answer
[06:33] <aixenv> you dont have to understand it.. but that's the answer
[06:33] <Uplink> it might be legit but i dont understand why
[06:33] <Twan> aixenv: I think it got screwed up in my recent 100+ updates of Ubuntu. In fact, I have no ability to configure it anymore. Suggestions?
[06:33] <aixenv> do you understand everything you hear?
[06:33] <Uplink> ok, and please dont say "google it" i heard that so many times
[06:33] <aixenv> Twan: if you 'which NetworkManager' do you see it?
[06:33] <evocallagha> May I request we stop feeding trolls and get one with helping people out
[06:33] <NetEcho> thank god
[06:34] <Twan> Let me grab my laptop...hold.
[06:34] <aixenv> plus he got an answer he just didnt comprehend it
[06:34] <aixenv> Twan : k
[06:34] <evocallagha> Thank god.
[06:34] <rayvis> Anyone know if there is an IRC channel for Mac4Lin?
[06:34] <HybridZero> Does anyone here happen to have a guide on setting up an FTP server which I can use as a PHP testing server?
[06:35] <HybridZero> I assume I'd need to map the ftp server to /var/www and somehow allow write access to that directory, but I'm not sure how to go about it, or even if there's a different preferred method rather than mapping to /var/www and messing with permissions
[06:35] <NetEcho> rayvis no but I just finished doing it
[06:35] <NetEcho> whats up?
[06:35] <aixenv> HybridZero : why not just use a webserver?
[06:35] <Quintin> HybridZero: Don't use FTP, use scp
[06:35] <forestangeljulie> hey i need help with firefox
[06:35] <Geoffrey2> ok, right now I cannot get terminal to open....the window opens up completely white with no command prompt, trying to exit gets me the "not responding" error message....
[06:35] <aixenv> HybridZero : and ftp sends over plaintext use sftp,scp etc secure protocols
[06:35] <HybridZero> aixenv: That's what I'm going for, I'm just trying to set up FTP access to simplify transferring my files into /var/www
[06:36] <LogicalDash> How can I generate a makefile that doesn't do anything?
[06:36] <aixenv> Geoffrey2 : did you play with your color settings?
[06:36] <aixenv> HybridZero : use rsync
[06:36] <orfeo> hello?
[06:36] <NetEcho> rayvis are you having issues with mac4lin?
[06:36] <orfeo> im new here
[06:36] <kenny> hello, anyone here help me to solve my workspace problem???
[06:36] <HybridZero> Also, whatever the simplest solution is for file transfer is fine for me. This machine is just on my home network and not exposed to the internet
[06:36] <doglino> can i to talk here?
[06:36] <forestangeljulie> can someone help me? firefox won't install
[06:36] <Twan> Ok I have a 'Network Monitor' at the top of my Ubuntu screen on the panel. If I go to properties > configure, it asks for my root password, then gives me a screen that says 'The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration.'
[06:37] <forestangeljulie> how long do i have to wait before firefox 3 comes to the ubuntu network?
[06:37] <Geoffrey2> aixenv: not at all
[06:37] <webcamwonder> Firefox 3 is already in the repository
[06:37] <bazhang> forestangeljulie, read the topic
[06:37] <HybridZero> forestangeljulie: It's already out
[06:37] <philsf> forestangeljulie: it's already there
[06:37] <darthanubis> nautilus won't start anymore
[06:37] <forestangeljulie> yes i know that
[06:37] <Twan> In fact, I can't access anything under Administration.
[06:37] <darthanubis> gnome panel either
[06:37] <forestangeljulie>  but it wont install
[06:37] <Twan> Basically it seems I've been locked out of my system!
[06:37] <aixenv> HybridZero : cd to/path/you/wanna/transfer ; rsync -av . $user@$server-you-want-files-transferred-to:/path/to/store/files/on/server/ (if within your local network, if outside use -e ssh)
[06:37] <darthanubis> NEVEr seen this before
[06:37] <Apples> Hey, I'm just wondering where I should compile a file?  I read somewhere that it was inside /urs/share/???
[06:37] <forestangeljulie> whenever i go to the "add/remove apps" thingy, firefox 3 isn't there
[06:37] <doglino>  :)
[06:38] <Twan> gedit files are being opened as read-only...its like I'm some sort of peon!
[06:38] <t12398123> Anyone seeing issues with wired networking not working under 8.04 after reboot (possible bad update?)
[06:38] <HybridZero> Also I suppose I should clarify: I'm editing files on a windows machine, and then transferring them to the testing server. That's why I figured FTP might be the simplest solution.
[06:38] <webcamwonder> Twan try to do gksu gedit [filepath]
[06:38] <kenshin> hi, when i select ubutnu from the grub menu, it won't load
[06:38] <philsf> forestangeljulie: have you tried synaptic?
[06:38] <aixenv> t12398123 : i had to recompile to get my wireless working but after that worked like a charm
[06:38] <forestangeljulie> yes
[06:38] <Bhavesh> !fakeraid
[06:38] <kenshin> if i select windows it loads fine
[06:39] <aixenv> HybridZero : use winscp
[06:39] <forestangeljulie> not there
[06:39] <philsf> forestangeljulie: do you still have the beta version?
[06:39] <forestangeljulie> no
[06:39] <t12398123> aixenv how'd you recompile?
[06:39] <philsf> forestangeljulie: what version do you have?
[06:39] <aixenv> t12398123 : i had to build a new kernel module for my crappy wireless
[06:39] <forestangeljulie> firefox 2
[06:39] <tsarivangrozny> Ive managed to install Ubuntu on my Dell Optiplex 320 however I cannot boot into it, it ends up going to pretty much a blank screen with like a green square
[06:39] <Twan> Still read-only
[06:39] <t12398123> hmm
[06:39] <HybridZero> aixenv: scp uses ssh to transfer right?
[06:39] <tsarivangrozny> how do i boot into ubuntu on my dell optiplex 320?
[06:39] <kenny> i still cannot switch to second workspace...after i tried so many ways, can help me pls.....
[06:39] <forestangeljulie> i have the zip file
[06:39] <aixenv> HybridZero : yes sir :)
[06:39] <philsf> do you have the hardy-updates repository enabled?
[06:39] <webcamwonder> Twan could you describe what you are tryuing to acheive?
[06:40] <Apples> kenshin: did it stop working after an update, then restart ?
[06:40] <philsf> forestangeljulie:  do you have the hardy-updates repository enabled?
[06:40] <matt__> hi
[06:40] <Bhavesh> !bootparams
[06:40] <forestangeljulie> no idea what that is
[06:40] <forestangeljulie> so no
[06:40] <Twan> Wait no, apparently there was just a screwup in the properties of that.
[06:40] <aixenv> HybridZero : winscp is a winblows app /gui to utilize scp worksnice i use it a ton at work when dealing with windows servers@work
[06:40] <Bhavesh> !boot
[06:40] <matt__> i am so confused
[06:40] <kenshin> Apples, i actually used grub superdisk to repair grub
[06:40] <HybridZero> aixenv: Yep, I've used winscp in the past actually in other situations
[06:40] <philsf> !repo | forestangeljulie
[06:40] <aixenv> matt_: with?
[06:40] <Twan> I'm trying to get my Ubuntu laptop back online...after I installed like 115 updates, I am no longer authorized to do anything Administration related.
[06:40] <matt__> wat evry1 is saying!
[06:40] <scifiguy951> how can i completely remove wine from my comp??
[06:40] <HybridZero> Okay, so that portion of the setup is ready to rock then...the only other question I have then is how I should login / set permissions to allow me to transfer directly to /var/www?
[06:41] <kenshin> Apples, i did delete and recreated a windows partition
[06:41] <aixenv> HybridZero : if you're doing transfer from doze to linux ; options are winscp or install cygwin and then use rsync like i stated :)
[06:41] <webcamwonder> scifiguy851: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine
[06:41] <Quintin> scifiguy951: sudo aptitude purge wine ; rm -r ~/.wine
[06:41] <forestangeljulie> where do i find the hardy updates repo?
[06:41] <matt__> its all gibberish to me
[06:41] <HybridZero> Any thoughts on that aspect of my setup aixenv?
[06:41] <Quintin> webcamwonder: apt-get is usually considered depracted
[06:41] <philsf> forestangeljulie: basically, you can open System/Administration/Soft. sources, and enable -updates there, in the updates tab
[06:41] <t12398123> So I never get a DHCP lease even though the same network cable on a different computer will get one, what's up with wired networking?
[06:41] <aixenv> HybridZero : if that were my project.. i'd install cygwin, install rsync, and use rsync, i love rsync i use it on a daily basis multiple times a day
[06:41] <webcamwonder> Quintin: good to finally know what.... had no idea :s
[06:41] <matt__> aaaaaah,, im sry but  vye vye
[06:42] <Twan> So why is Ubuntu locking me out of my System Administration?
[06:42] <HybridZero> I'll likely install cygwin at some point in the near future...I miss my terminal
[06:42] <Apples> kenshin: Try editing the grub menu partitions, it might be trying to boot off a partition that doesn't exist
[06:42] <Twan> Is there something I could type in terminal to re-authenticate?
[06:42] <kenny> i cannot  switch between workspaces pls help me....
[06:42] <kenshin> Apples, how do i do that?
[06:42] <Twan> like 'sudo givemepermission'
[06:42] <Bhavesh> Twan: it's a way of protecting system from mistakes
[06:42] <aixenv> hybridZero : that's the slickest/easiest/foolproof way to do what you want bud
[06:42] <Uplink> how do i kill firefox? there are like 100 windows popping up
[06:42] <aixenv> kenny: control+alt+arrow?
[06:42] <Bhavesh> so you can use sudo 'cmd' to run cmd that needs admin priviledge
[06:42] <kenshin> Apples, i can access the menu.lst something file from ubutnu cd
[06:42] <HybridZero> Would I need to change directory permissions or anything in order to get the files to transfer to /var/www correctly, since ordinarily I'd have to sudo to do it?
[06:42] <kenny> yes
[06:42] <aixenv> Uplink : open terminal - su or sudo to root and killall firefox
[06:43] <Bhavesh> Uplink: open a terminal window, type kiall firefox
[06:43] <nickrud> Twan do  groups  in a terminal, and paste the output here (one line)
[06:43] <webcamwonder> Bhavesh: wouldn't su suffice?
[06:43] <forestangeljulie> i clicked enable updates and the window closed on me
[06:43] <Uplink> ty aixenv, Bhavesh
[06:43] <forestangeljulie> said that it was out of date
[06:43] <nickrud> forestangeljulie annoying, isn't it? But that's how it works
[06:43] <aixenv> Bhavesh : kiall is that a new alias? :P
[06:43] <Twan> archie adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner lpadmin admin
[06:43] <Twan> I usually login to Ubuntu under 'archie'
[06:43] <forestangeljulie> nickrud: quite annoying
[06:43] <Bhavesh> killall sorry
[06:43] <forestangeljulie> i miss windows
[06:43] <Twan> Never had any problems until these recent updates...
[06:43] <forestangeljulie> i hope mint is better
[06:43] <Bhavesh> aixenv killall :)
[06:43] <t12398123> is there a way to see a list of the last installed packages on my system?
[06:43] <aixenv> HybridZero : no sir it'd be fine
[06:43] <aixenv> Bhavesh : just jokin :P
[06:43] <Apples> kenshin: press 'e' on the option in the grub menu, or you could edit it the menu.lst file
[06:43] <Bhavesh> i am looking for boot params :) how to disable dma
[06:43] <kenshin> hmm
[06:44] <kenshin> Apples, and then?
[06:44] <Bhavesh> np :)
[06:44] <HybridZero> aixenv: Okay, I'll grab cygwin and give it a shot. Thanks for all your help, you are awesome :)
[06:44] <nickrud> Twan you are in the admin group, so you should be able to do admin stuff.   sudo ls,  do that and give me the output, if it's more than one line put it on paste.ubuntu.com
[06:44] <kenshin> Apples, how do i fix it?
[06:44] <forestangeljulie> phil: ok, i enabled updates
[06:44] <forestangeljulie> now what do i do
[06:44] <tsarivangrozny> when trying to boot into ubuntu i get a screen that in the upper left has a blinking cursor then in the middle it has the character b in the middle of the screen then is a green square and at the far right is a green square what is going on?
[06:44] <aixenv> t12398123 : dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages
[06:44] <Bhavesh> i have fakeraid controller, and every time i attach a drive to it, kernel won't boot
[06:44] <forestangeljulie> groznygrad!!
[06:44] <philsf> forestangeljulie: did you "reload" the sources, when it suggested?
[06:44] <aixenv> t12398123 : will show you all your install pkgs
[06:44] <forestangeljulie> well, i did
[06:44] <Uplink> aixenv, i just satisfied my curiosity... i hope there are no virus :(
[06:44] <t12398123> thank you aixenv, you're awesome
[06:44] <forestangeljulie> but it just unchecked everything
[06:44] <Apples> kenshin:  the thing you are looking for will look something like (hd0,0) or (hd1,0)
[06:45] <aixenv> Uplink : why would you wanna do that?
[06:45] <aixenv> t12398123 : /bow
[06:45] <Twan> sudo ls just brings up the files under /home/archie/
[06:45] <philsf> forestangeljulie: "it" what? unchecked what?
[06:45] <Uplink> aixenv, i went there already... lol... u said not to worry
[06:45] <Twan> The files and folders
[06:45] <aixenv> Uplink : if i say jump off a bridge are you going to?
[06:45] <kenshin> Apples, yeah and what do i do when i find it?
[06:45] <nickrud> Twan so you're using sudo ok. open another terminal, and repeat. Does it ask for your password?
[06:45] <philsf> forestangeljulie: please, use prefix your answers to me with my nick
[06:45] <kenshin> Apples, my hdd is sata
[06:45] <scifiguy951> i deleted my .wine folder a while ago,,,what should i do??
[06:45] <forestangeljulie> yeah sorry
[06:45] <Twan> Yes
[06:45] <forestangeljulie> i'm used to small channels
[06:45] <Uplink> aixenv, yea with a bungee
[06:45] <Twan> It did
[06:45] <Uplink> :D
[06:45] <kenny> :~~  control+alt+arrow doesn't work, pls help me....:~~~~
[06:45] <kenshin> Apples, if that is necessary :D
[06:45] <Twan> In the new terminal
[06:45] <Lunar_Lamp> scifiguy951: run winecfg I think
[06:45] <aixenv> Uplink : heh
[06:46] <Lunar_Lamp> scifiguy951: I think that will recreate it.
[06:46] <bazhang> Uplink, please stop.
[06:46] <Bhavesh> kenny what are you trying to do with ctrl-alt-arrow?
[06:46] <forestangeljulie> philsf: i have important security updates, recommended updates, and pre-released updates checked
[06:46] <scifiguy951> ok
[06:46] <kenny> switch to another workspace
[06:46] <Uplink> aixenv, how to i launch firefox without going to the last link i visited?
[06:46] <aixenv> t12398123 : shouldnt be an empty list
[06:46] <nickrud> Twan ok, that's all good. now run gksu synaptic , does it ask for your password in a gui?
[06:46] <scifiguy951> yeah it did thanks
[06:46] <scifiguy951> !!=D
[06:46] <forestangeljulie> philsf: then it downloaded something and the window closed
[06:46] <aixenv> uplink : just open firefox and it will ask new or saved session pick new
[06:46] <kenny> bhavesh, swith to another workspace
[06:46] <Bhavesh> Uplink you should have an icon to click from the menu
[06:47] <Bhavesh> oh
[06:47] <forestangeljulie> philsf: should firefox 3 be available in the software updates?
[06:47] <philsf> forestangeljulie: ok, now you can open synaptic and install the firefox-3.0 package
[06:47] <Apples> kenshin: That's fine, usually the problem is that grub is pointing to the wrong partition, so you could change grub to point to the right one, or you could change your boot order( which could be the easy fix)
[06:47] <Uplink> ty aixenv  :)
[06:47] <aixenv> kenny : maybe reboot: it could be a glitch: .. do you even have more than 1 desktop?
[06:47] <forestangeljulie> um, ok, i'll try
[06:47] <Bhavesh> kenny sorry can't answer that.. i haven't gotten used to ubuntu yet :)
[06:47] <philsf> forestangeljulie: if you had a previous version of firefox 3, yes, not firefox 2
[06:47] <aixenv> kenny: do you see like 3-4-5-6 desktops at the bottom right?
[06:47] <philsf> forestangeljulie: which seems to be the case for you
[06:47] <aixenv> kenny : if so which is highlighted?
[06:47] <forestangeljulie> philsf: no, i didn't have the previous version of firefox 2
[06:47] <forestangeljulie> firefox 3*
[06:47] <forestangeljulie> i have firefox 2
[06:47] <forestangeljulie> no betas
[06:48] <Twan> It opens up Synaptic Package Manager and says 'An error has occured. E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[06:48] <Bhavesh> funny, i just installed ubuntu=server and my host name is iceman :)
[06:48] <philsf> forestangeljulie: you are using hardy?
[06:48] <kenny> aixenv, i only use two workspace, and it highlight my umber one, but when i click no.2 it's doest work at all...
[06:48] <Apples> kenshin: changing grub to point to the right one will just involve changing that (hd1,1) to (hd0,1) or (hd0,0)
[06:48] <nickrud> Twan ok, close synaptic and run   sudo dpkg --configure -a .
[06:48] <forestangeljulie> yes
[06:48] <forestangeljulie> oh wait
[06:48] <forestangeljulie> i see it
[06:48] <Twan> Ok... Generating generic
[06:48] <kenshin> Apples, i've only one harddisk, it's sata
[06:48] <ogzy> hi i am having problems with waking up my laptop from suspend. At the first suspend it wokes up and shows the graphic interface, though at the second try it goes to suspend mode doesnt wake up, what can be the problem?
[06:48] <forestangeljulie> firefox 3
[06:48] <forestangeljulie> but it's not a package
[06:48] <Twan> Setting up gdb, sudo
[06:48] <FloodBot1> forestangeljulie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:48] <philsf> forestangeljulie: ok, so firefox-3.0 will be downloaded from hardy-updates when you install it from synaptic
[06:49] <aixenv> kenny: lame question, but did you try and reboot? i mean hell it could fix the problem right? control+alt+arrow to right or left should alternate desktops, or you should be able to click the 'square'
[06:49] <generic> twan what u mean
[06:49] <scifiguy951> okay so i removed wine with "sudo aptitude purge ECT.." and i still have wine in my app menu.. how do i get rid of it?
[06:49] <Twan> Installing new version of config file
[06:49] <kenshin> Apples, but about 8 partitions including ntfs,fat
[06:49] <Twan> Ok its just isntalling....will update back!
[06:49] <thetooth> hey
[06:49] <Twan> generic: Wasn't talking to you, lol. It came up on my screen.
[06:49] <generic> i was looking openct to write a certificate on usb
[06:49] <thetooth> i've srewed my partsions
[06:49] <generic> ok
[06:49] <Bhavesh> scifiguy951 try exiting out of the desktop and going in.. may be the delete has not taken place yet
[06:49] <aixenv> wow if i ever want a channel that's hoppin it's ubuntu
[06:49] <aixenv> lol
[06:49] <t12398123> haha
[06:50] <t12398123> yeah
[06:50] <tsarivangrozny> could anyone help me with my boot problem on the dell optiplex 320?
[06:50] <scifiguy951> exiting out of the desktop??
[06:50] <aixenv> foreign concept to me
[06:50] <thetooth> can any one help
[06:50] <Twan> nickrud: It's setting up a ton of stuff. Is this normal?
[06:50] <Apples> kenshin: Ah ok, unless you know the number of the partition , you might just have to try changing (hda0,*) to (hda,1-7)
[06:50] <aixenv> kenny: lets try that 'reboot' and see if perhaps that fixes the problem, if not come back and we'll troubleshoot more thoroughly
[06:50] <kenny> aixenv i try many times to reboot my laptop, but it won't work and even i try to click the square also doensn't work too and i really make me blur right now
[06:50] <philsf> forestangeljulie: the package name is firefox, which install firefox-3.0 and other related packages
[06:50] <nickrud> scifiguy951 try   alt-f2  killall gnome-panel , that will restart your panel and reload the menus. Although I hear wine form winehq leaves the menu item.
[06:50] <philsf> it's there
[06:50] <aixenv> kenny: try adjusting the number to say 4 desktops
[06:51] <forestangeljulie> philsf: i'm downloading it from synaptic
[06:51] <aixenv> kenny: right mouse click on your desktops at bottom right and select properties
[06:51] <nickrud> Twan yes, if you had interrupted an install run
[06:51] <forestangeljulie> but it's not in the add/remove apps thing
[06:51] <aixenv> sorry "preferences"
[06:51] <forestangeljulie> philsf: it only shows up in synaptic
[06:51] <Twan> That might be what happened. My laptop likes to overheat and I did it before I went to bed so it mightve overheated.
[06:51] <philsf> forestangeljulie: also, I just read you also enabled the pre-release repo, which I don't recommend for a stable desktop experience
[06:51] <kenshin> Apples, thanks for the help pal. :D
[06:51] <ogzy> can someone tell me here when i press the suspend button at system menu, what exactly executes so that i can check the code for finding the problem
[06:51] <philsf> forestangeljulie: it is, under the name "firefox"
[06:51] <forestangeljulie> ok sorry
[06:51] <scifiguy951> it didnt remove it
[06:51] <Apples> kenshin: No problem, happy I could help : )
[06:51] <scifiguy951> its still there
[06:51] <KyleK> <3 grub tab completion
[06:52] <aixenv> kenny: my settings are as follows: --> "show all workspaces in 1 row" , number of workspaces = 4 ; mimic that and lets see if you can alternate to another desktop
[06:52] <philsf> forestangeljulie: the 3 is implied, as it's the latest version
[06:52] <nickrud> Twan so when you said 'administrative stuff' you were actually talking about installing programs?
[06:52] <forestangeljulie> philsf: but there's one called "firefox 2"
[06:52] <Twan> No...I did the 'install updates' bar that always comes up
[06:52] <Twan> And then went to bed
[06:52] <Twan> So it mightve overheated during the updates
[06:52] <aixenv> eh im on call i better check email rq heh
[06:52] <philsf> forestangeljulie: that's the "old" version
[06:53] <forestangeljulie> i'm confused
[06:53] <nickrud> scifiguy951 then you can right click the menu bar, edit menus and disable it so you don't see it
[06:53] <thetooth> can any one help with GRUB error 22
[06:53] <scifiguy951> ok
[06:53] <aixenv> thetooth: dualboot?
[06:53] <philsf> forestangeljulie: I don't get with what you're confused: there's firefox 2 and 3, and both are there. The default is 3
[06:53] <Starnestommy> thetooth: you probably selected the wrong partition
[06:53] <Twan> Local security certificates must be replaced!
[06:54] <Watchbot07> hi there can anyone help me with a display issue?
[06:54] <forestangeljulie> thetooth: the mbr was looking for a partition
[06:54] <forestangeljulie> look i'll show you
[06:54] <Watchbot07> i cant seem to get back to full resolution.
[06:54] <kenny> aixenv i already try but still no working
[06:54] <nickrud> Twan that's a big time security bug, let it fix it
[06:54] <philsf> forestangeljulie: I also recommend you disable the pre-release repo, or you might experience some regressions
[06:55] <Twan> I don't give a crap about security on this thing.
[06:55] <Twan> I hate systems like that. I browse the Internet with Firefox at my house.
[06:55] <aixenv> kenny: open a terminal.. rightmouse click.. goto "move to another workspace" and then move it elsewhere and tell me if it disappears
[06:55] <nickrud> Twan then let it fix it, or you'll get nagged to death :)
[06:55] <burmese_please> How can I get Burmese language support on firefox in ubuntu 7.04?

[06:57]  * aixenv s/wondws/wonders
[06:57] <forestangeljulie> um, ok
[06:57] <forestangeljulie> nickrud: great, that just brings up my other problem
[06:57] <t12398123> yeah, my problem is there is no google solution to my problem
[06:57] <Twan> I still can't change desktop resolution!
[06:57] <forestangeljulie> sudo won't let me enter my password
[06:57] <nickrud> forestangeljulie which is?
[06:57] <aixenv> kenny: if you say open up a terminal and right mouse click on the top toolbar?
[06:57] <t12398123> I just can't get an IP
[06:58] <nickrud> Twan ah, now that's a different problem. nvidia?
[06:58] <aixenv> t12398123 : that's understandable :)
[06:58] <aixenv> t12398123 : i wasnt referring to you persay
[06:58] <forestangeljulie> whenever i type sudo, it won't let me type in my password
[06:58] <aixenv> t12398123 : did you fix your problem?
[06:58] <nickrud> forestangeljulie it doesn't echo when you type, just type the password. There will be no feedback
[06:58] <Twan> No clue heh
[06:58] <arash> how do i install firefox 3 in ubuntu?
[06:58] <Twan> I think its ATI
[06:59] <aixenv> arash : 'apt-get install firefox-3.0
[06:59] <Twan> Let's worry about that SECOND though. First problem is I go to "Network Settings" and everything is grayed out like I get no rights.
[06:59] <nickrud> Twan   lspci | grep -i vga will tell you
[06:59] <forestangeljulie> nickrud: ohhhh
[06:59] <forestangeljulie> that's confusing
[06:59] <forestangeljulie> nickrud: sorry i'm an ubuntard
[06:59] <Twan> Yep...ATI. Should I login and out?
[06:59] <Twan> Let Ubuntu refresh itself a bit?
[07:00] <kenny> aixenv, yes
[07:00] <guest> - -
[07:00] <nickrud> Twan shouldn't hurt
[07:00] <aixenv> t12398123 : does the interface show up in ifconfig -a?
[07:00] <aixenv> t12398123 : dmesg|more show any issues?
[07:00] <philsf> forestangeljulie: that's the default for console programs (don't echo passwords). usually only graphical apps echo asterisks when typing passwords
[07:00] <aixenv> t12398123 : eth0?
[07:00] <nickrud> forestangeljulie there are no ubuntards, just people with different levels of experience
[07:00] <aixenv> t12398123 : linklight on your NIC ?
[07:01] <aixenv> kenny: im not sure man i've never ever had that problem in 12yrs of doing linux lol
[07:01] <aixenv> kenny: maybe someone else has an idea.. if that wasnt a production server i'd reinstall it :P

[07:02] <nickrud> burmese_please do you have burmese support in your desktop set up?
[07:02] <kenny> aixenv, if i want to restore back my ubuntu for the first times used, how?

[07:10] <philsf> hi, I'm having trouble testing opensync with palm and evo2. It seems to work, and even prompts me for conflict resolution, but after it seems to be conflict-satisfied, it just freezes while (I suppose) waiting for the disconnects - http://paste.ubuntu.com/21748/ - the palm status is as if it was still syncing the memopad (notes, in evo2)
[07:10] <aixenv> t12398123 : ok on the linux box.. to verify eth0  = 10.0.0.100 correct?
[07:10] <aixenv> t12398123 : can you 'ping 10.0.0.100' ?
[07:10] <philsf> I managed to succeed in testing file to file syncs, evo2 to file, palm to file, but I can't sync palm to evo
[07:10] <philsf> suggestions?

[07:12] <philsf> smultron: try sudo apt-get build-dep <package>

[07:13] <smultron> philsf: yeah, that works, but i need this specific version (not in the repo) to work with my other system
[07:13] <aixenv> t12398123 : leave the ping running for me 'ping 10.0.0.1'

[07:27] <airstrikeivanov> Hello everyone. How do I find my sound card and make it work so I have sound?
[07:27] <IndyGunFreak> !ahteros
[07:27] <IndyGunFreak> !atheros
[07:27] <genewitch> thanks IndyGunFreak
[07:27] <esac> !sound
[07:27] <t12398123> tcpdump show NOTHING which scares me
[07:27] <aixenv> airstrike: yours didnt work? ive been amazed how it works by default nowadays... that stinks? sound support is so much better nowadays
[07:27] <IndyGunFreak> generic: np
[07:27] <airstrikeivanov> How about a real answer? I've tried all that crap.
[07:27] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[07:28] <airstrikeivanov> I've been getting that !sound crap for four days
[07:28] <genewitch> airstrikeivanov: does it work on windows? what type of sound card?
[07:28] <esac> airstrikeivanov, what sound card do you have?
[07:28] <airstrikeivanov> I don't know
[07:28] <IndyGunFreak> airstrikeivanov: reinstall windows.
[07:28] <BlueLaguna> What's a good IRC client for GNOME?
[07:28] <airstrikeivanov> Nobody will tell me how to find it
[07:28] <IndyGunFreak> BlueLaguna: xchat is my fav
[07:28] <airstrikeivanov> And no, I refuse to touch that crap
[07:28] <stunatra> BlueLaguna, XChat-gnome.
[07:28] <bazhang> lspci airstrikeivanov
[07:28] <aixenv> BlueLaguna : i use epic5
[07:28] <genewitch> airstrikeivanov: knowing what soundcard you have is paramount.
[07:28] <IndyGunFreak> stunatra: ?.. xchat-gnome sucks.
[07:28] <philsf> the !sound factoid should be updated to the new pulseaudio framwork, no?
[07:28] <aixenv> i love epic5
[07:28] <BlueLaguna> Hmm, I don't like xchat's interface
[07:28] <airstrikeivanov> I just got this computer a day or two ago
[07:28] <gaten> bazhang:  there is no link, im waiting for them to approve it
[07:28] <BlueLaguna> I used to use Konversation on KDE
[07:28] <stunatra> or regular Xchat...
[07:28] <aixenv> BlueLaguna : epic5 :)
[07:28] <airstrikeivanov> Got rid of Windows, set it up with Ubuntu, I never ever use anything else
[07:29] <aixenv> epic5 with the 'look-good' theme looks.. well good heh
[07:29] <airstrikeivanov> I still have no idea what hardware I have >_<
[07:29] <IndyGunFreak> BlueLaguna: regular xchat is probably the best one, or if you want to go really wild w/ CLI, use irssi
[07:29] <stunatra> Xchat is very similar to Konversation.
[07:29] <dialman> airstrikeivanov: Same here, mostly. Still use windows for gaming.
[07:29] <airstrikeivanov> dialman: Likewise
[07:29] <genewitch> hey is madwifi the one that will kick my atheros card into gear?
[07:29] <KSG5> anyone here still having issues with 9Hardy freezing?
[07:29] <airstrikeivanov> I use XP on my gaming rig
[07:29] <airstrikeivanov> But only by force
[07:29] <kenny> anyone, if i want to change the theme of ubuntu, how & where do i need to start?
[07:29] <bazhang> gaten, you might ask in the ubuntu-docs (sp?) channel you can find the list at the end of /msg ubottu irc

[07:29] <esac> airstrikeivanov,  do either of those give you anything ?
[07:29] <airstrikeivanov> Hm, it shows me two sound cards

[07:30] <gaten> bazhang:  ok thanks :)
[07:30] <airstrikeivanov> 01:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS
[07:30] <aixenv> t12398123 : i can tell you.. in my experiene ive seen NICs that should work.. cables were fine.. etc they just wouldnt pass traffic
[07:30] <airstrikeivanov> Which one is right?
[07:30] <genewitch> Yeah, the audigy should work by default
[07:30] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto airstrikeivanov
[07:30] <dialman> My main caveat with ubuntu: I don't have cable and like to stream my tv online, and most of the networks still don't support linux. Bastards.
[07:30] <IndyGunFreak> bazhang: those should work fine in hardy(at least mine do)
[07:30] <aixenv> t12398123 : come over to socal ill give you a nic :P
[07:30] <airstrikeivanov> bazhang: It doesn't say HDA anywhere. Not to mention I've tried that link a hundred times.
[07:30] <genewitch> airstrikeivanov: the audigy. check your cables and speaker power, and volume controls both on the software and the speakers themselves.
[07:30] <esac> does your computer have 2 sound cards ?  it sounds like you would have an onboard soundcard and an add-in one
[07:30] <bazhang> IndyGunFreak, yeah same here; must be his bios
[07:30] <hosified> anyone notice slow transfers over usb 2.0 external hard drive?  it's an ntfs partion, shouldn't make a difference though
[07:31] <aixenv> airstrikeivanov : two sound cards might indicate onboard sound.. disable that garbage in the bios if you have an audigy
[07:31] <hosified> getting 13 MB/s...on vista I get about 31MB/s
[07:31] <bazhang> airstrikeivanov, well then you need no more help. Good luck with that problem.
[07:31] <airstrikeivanov> genewitch: I've tried all the main sound codecs and messed with all the volume and still nothing.
[07:31] <aixenv> t12398123 : Manhattan Beach :)
[07:31] <aixenv> t12398123 : let me think for a second
[07:31] <airstrikeivanov> aixenv: it doesn't let me disable it in my bios, i've tried
[07:31] <aixenv> airstrikeivanov : sure it does
[07:32] <aixenv> airstrikeivanov : some of them are just tricky
[07:32] <airstrikeivanov> Hm
[07:32] <esac> i agree, ive never seen an onboard sound card you cant disable
[07:32] <KSG5> Im sure it's in your manual
[07:32] <aixenv> airstrikeivanov : ive _never_ seen a bios that wouldnt allow you to enable/disable onboard sound
[07:32] <airstrikeivanov> How do I find my BIOS info then to find out how to do it?
[07:32] <IndyGunFreak> esac: except airstrikeivanov 's
[07:32] <kenny> aixenv, do you know how to change the theme of ubuntu? does changing ubuntu is  recomend or not fully recomended?
[07:32] <KSG5> airstrikeivanov, do you still have the manual for your board?
[07:32] <esac> IndyGunFreak, but i havent seen his so my statement is still true :)
[07:32] <philsf> hi, I'm having trouble testing opensync with palm and evo2. It seems to work, and even prompts me for conflict resolution, but after it seems to be conflict-satisfied, it just freezes while (I suppose) waiting for the disconnects - http://paste.ubuntu.com/21748/ - the palm status is as if it was still syncing the memopad (notes, in evo2)
[07:32] <aixenv> airstrikeivanov : just wander around in your bios .. you'll find it
[07:32] <philsf>  I managed to succeed in testing file to file syncs, evo2 to file, palm to file, but I can't sync palm to evo. suggestions?
[07:32] <genewitch> airstrikeivanov: did you try plugging your speakers into the onboard sound's green plug?
[07:33] <bazhang> kenny, sure no problem; /msg ubottu themes for links
[07:33] <BlueLagun2> Hmm, I just did a fresh Ubuntu install on a new computer
[07:33] <airstrikeivanov> No manuals, I just got this thing as a gift from my friend's office. They were replacing one of the older machines and knew I needed a new one.
[07:33] <BlueLagun2> and it keeps randomly rebooting
[07:33] <aixenv> kenny: i dont change themes, sorry bud, i usually just run 15 terminals :)
[07:33] <BlueLagun2> without notice
[07:33] <airstrikeivanov> genewitch: I'm not stupid. Thanks for assuming.
[07:33] <esac> airstrikeivanov, most intel boards i find under something such as "onboard devices" and it is just listed as AC'97, and you would disable it
[07:33] <aixenv> blueLagun2 : /var/log/messages ? dmesg ?
[07:33] <IndyGunFreak> BlueLagun2: that sounds like a power supply issue.
[07:33] <aixenv> esac: exactly
[07:33] <kari> where can i find dvd version of ubuntu which comes with all packages? because many of my friends dont have internet connection and they want to install ubuntu..
[07:34] <hosified> urgh
[07:34] <nickrud> airstrikeivanov people ask questions, sometime stupid sounding ones, so everyone is on the same page. Can the attitude
[07:34] <BlueLagun2> IndyGunFreak: No.  That computer used to have XP on it and it didn't do that before
[07:34] <bazhang> !torrents
[07:34] <hosified> nobody here using an external usb 2.0 hard drive?
[07:34] <aixenv> airstrikeivanov : i never said you're an idiot.. im just telling you bro.. look in your bios i gurantee you .. you can disable your onboard sound
[07:34] <bazhang> see abover kari
[07:34] <IndyGunFreak> kari: the same place you download the CD, usually had the DVD iso
[07:34] <KSG5> Can anyone point me to a link for the Hardy Freezeing issue? Sorry I've found a 100 of them that don't work.
[07:34] <lolo> what is the other port to connect to freenode with there is 6667 and like a secure? one?
[07:35] <hanasaki> in exim how can i ban an entire sending domain?
[07:35] <genewitch> !madwifi
[07:35] <genewitch> yeah but the site is down, botbreath
[07:35] <Starnestommy> lolo: freenode doesn't have SSL, but it has ports 6667, 7001, 7070, 8000-8002, and I think 6665 aand 6666 open
[07:35] <esac> you wouldn't believe how many times people have asked me 'stupid' questions and it turns out that although i am smart, i just completely spaced it
[07:35] <esac> and they turned out to be right :)

[07:37] <Theron> but sound still comes from the speakers
[07:37] <IndyGunFreak> kari: just get some blank dvds

[07:40] <usicow> I want to create an account on my ubuntu box so that someone can just have email (nothing else) via pop. I've got it all setup, but my question is on how to create the account. Using adduser -disabled-login -shell /bin/false still lets you connect via SSH and login (and hence know you've successfully guessed the users password) but then disconnects straight away. Is there a better way to...
[07:40] <usicow> ...make an account that only has email?

[07:48] <aixenv> BlueLagun: boot off install cd, and choose the memtest option
[07:48] <aixenv> lets start with ram
[07:48] <Mo0oSaH> slacker: you first create a mount point in lets say /media/whatever
[07:48] <SeveredCross> Is there any particular reason why partman would fail to start when I'm using Ubiquity, but works via gparted?
[07:48] <SeveredCross> *But everything works via gparted.
[07:48] <SeveredCross> It keeps spitting out messages about no such file/folder re /var/lib/partman/outfifo, but outfifo exists.
[07:48] <Mo0oSaH> slacker: then you do mount /sda1 /media/whatever given sda1 is the name of your partition

[07:54] <aixenv> v1: type of drives, type of mobo, and is this dualboot (winbloze + nix) ?
[07:54] <arash> do you have a command for it?
[07:54] <Theron> you ever use synaptic arash?
[07:54] <v1> SATA 300GB
[07:54] <arash> no
[07:54] <v1> yes, dual boot
[07:54] <arash> i am new to linux
[07:54] <Theron> you can search java on synaptic, found on the system menu
[07:54] <aixenv> v1: has this ever worked?
[07:54] <v1> no
[07:54] <aixenv> v1: welcome :) we'll get you in linux and going strong
[07:54] <BlueLagun2> aixenv: Hmm, it's passing the tests so far, but it's not seeing an extra 512mb stick I put in there
[07:54] <tenX> aixenv: :)
[07:54] <v1> cool ... much appreciate that
[07:55] <aixenv> v1: i love to convert you away from the darkside
[07:55] <aata> anyone/
[07:55] <BlueLagun2> Maybe that's the problem
[07:55] <aata> ?
[07:55] <Theron> i've used linux off and on for a few years, but ubuntu is the best i've used, with some help
[07:55] <Theron> i think i'll stay with it
[07:55] <esac> Theron: did that fix your headphones ?
[07:55] <arash> i have java 5.0 consol under system menew
[07:55] <v1> i know it's jmicron controller

[07:55] <Kitu> can i memorize position and size of windows with gnome ?
[07:55] <HybridZero> Hey aixenv, sorry to bug you again. I'm trying rsync out right now, and it's giving me permission errors...is there any way to force a transfer as a privileged user?
[07:56] <v1> and mobo is msi p965 neo
[07:56] <aixenv> theron: i have usb logitech headset that shows up in usb (dmesg) and works like a charm for what that's worth
[07:56] <aixenv> hybrid: you can specify whatever user you want
[07:56] <v1> aixenv: yes... pretty much installed ubuntu de 8.0.4? from cd
[07:56] <arash> are you talking about update manager?
[07:56] <aixenv> HybridZero : if you wanna do root those you'd have to have PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[07:56] <v1> upon reboot... error 21
[07:56] <Theron> well, that sounds good, but kinda wondering why it won't shut off the speakers on a regu
[07:56] <Theron> lar set of headphones
[07:56] <HybridZero> Ah, okay. Thanks.
[07:56] <Theron> and for some reason, excursion working through wine hits enter on line breaks
[07:57] <aixenv> v1: first things first.. boot off cd.. and get into live cd (just hit cancel and it'll boot live cd
[07:57] <Theron> that's what i get for trying to use 32 bit windows apps on 64 bit linux
[07:57] <v1> i'm using liveCD now to IRC ya'll
[07:57] <aata> theres an entry for the partition in fstab...so why wouldnt it mount?
[07:57] <aixenv> v1: ah yes.. youmentioned that my bad
[07:57] <v1> and GParted can see my partitions
[07:57] <v1> np

[07:58] <generic> okhey guys i want to write a cd with multiple seesion say a boot system rescue cd with image of system how i write a cd
[07:58] <aixenv> v1: note be root when u run it

[07:58] <aixenv> v1: 'sudo fdisk -l'
[07:58] <slacker> so now if I wanted to aixenv. I could make a startup script that does mount /dev/hda4 /media/disk/ and just chmod a+x it right?

[08:07] <aixenv> sorry bout that crashed
[08:07] <aixenv> t12398123 : one sec
[08:07] <wols_> koheleth: start it in an xterm
[08:07] <BlueLagun2> aixenv: Hmm, sometimes it reboots as soon as I log into GNOME
[08:07] <koheleth> will do
[08:08] <BlueLagun2> So not completely random
[08:08] <BlueLagun2> It's not a memory problem either :-/
[08:08] <koheleth> wols_, exactly the same result
[08:08] <koheleth> starts then blows away?
[08:08] <wols_> koheleth: any message in the xterm?
[08:08] <koheleth> just 'Aborted'

[08:09] <koheleth> is there a earlier version I can use like 1.4 somewhere
[08:09] <Darknezz> anyone?
[08:09] <koheleth> although I would like the new working for video
[08:09] <cosmo_> hmmm my firefox wont upgrade from beta 5
[08:10] <Chrysalis> how do you troubleshot or test data corruption? i cant help but think theres something seriously wrong with linux dealing with my ntfs partition, files are usually different file size when copied to/from ntfs, every single mp3 has a wrong header after coping the ntfs partition etc
[08:10] <ompaul> koheleth, you have to ask skype it is not open source it should just work(tm) but when it fails anyones guess
[08:10] <koheleth> ompaul, ok, sure
[08:10] <koheleth> just thought it might have been a common issue
[08:11] <ompaul> koheleth, you are the first person I see asking about skype in a long time ;-)
[08:11] <koheleth> lol
[08:12] <ianm_> anyone know how to record sound output (eg Rhythmbox playing) using recordmydesktop?

[08:15] <ompaul> MrPocknix_, they are all from the 2.6 series
[08:15] <ianm_> MrPocknix_: using 2.6.24-17-generic on 8.04
[08:15] <MrPocknix_> kkk
[08:15] <MrPocknix_> so after I upgraded
[08:15] <cosmo_> anyone know how to fix this, I have tried to use the packet manager to remove firefox because it wont seem to upgrade it from firefox 3 beta 5, and after I uninstall it and then reinstall it, it comes up as the old version
[08:16] <MrPocknix_> (sry, Enter key has its own mind) to 8.04, I got anotehr set of ubuntu boot options in grub
[08:16] <Darknezz> i think i effed something up. i went to configuration editor and went into my desktop section and i unset my trash_icon_name how do i get it back with <no value>?
[08:16] <bestpvp> anyone know how to convert hard raid here?
[08:16] <jzitt> Hi, all. I'm (finally) running Hardy on my Eee 701 with only a few glitches, One is that I can't quite figure out how to mount an SD card inserted in the flash drive, which Xandros did automagically. It shows up in the Places menu, but when I click on it, I get  "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume." I suspect that I need to set something up in /etc/fstab, but I'm unclear as to the values. Any clues?
[08:16] <enaner> anyone know how to access the vboxmanage and add the -pae option
[08:17] <elvnsage> I have a question, I'm new to ubuntu, and when i go to change my screen-saver, most if not all my screen savers don't work, they are mostly black and when i click preview nothing is shown. can anyone help?
[08:18] <ompaul> elvnsage, sometimes previews are not available but they work
[08:18] <PunjabDaSher> Somebody please help me mount a windows network folder
[08:18] <ompaul> elvnsage, i.e. test it un full
[08:18] <BlueLagun2> What does .gnupg store?
[08:18] <elvnsage> yeah i tryed that but when they click on they are just black
[08:18] <ompaul> !ntfs | PunjabDaSher
[08:18] <jc__> !grub
[08:18] <Kitu> how to change window manager for gnome ?
[08:18] <ompaul> BlueLagun2, the gpg keys
[08:19] <BlueLagun2> Kitu: You mean the theme?
[08:19] <chaco> how do i make pidgin start automatically when ubuntu starts?
[08:19] <bazhang> Kitu, install it
[08:19] <bazhang> chaco, put in sessions startup
[08:19] <Kitu> BlueLagun2, i want to memorize position and size of windows ....
[08:19] <PunjabDaSher> Somebody please help me mount a windows network folder
[08:19] <bazhang> chaco, system prefs sessions <---there
[08:20] <Kitu> and i believe that it fallen that i change window manager for gnome
[08:20] <jzitt> bazhang: BTW, I figured out what I did wrong a few nights ago: retrospectively obvious, but only after the fact.
[08:20] <generic> any one use growisofs
[08:20] <generic> ?
[08:20] <Kitu> and install devilspie
[08:20] <theron> esac: you have any other ideas about the sound thing for vaio's?
[08:20] <Kitu> BlueLagun2, not the theme  ...
[08:20] <jzitt> !grub
[08:20] <freshtonic> chaco: on Gnome Panel, select System/Preferences/Sessions.  It will launch a tool that will let you configure your startup programs.  pidgin lives in /usr/bin/pidgin
[08:21] <bazhang> jzitt, you sorted it out then?
[08:21] <vipester> can someone help me configure my wpa?  i can connect to wep/unprotected
[08:21] <konner> Can someone tell my the command to install Wine
[08:21] <wols_> !wine
[08:21] <freshtonic> konner: sudo apt-get install wine
[08:21] <konner> Ah
[08:21] <konner> i was missing the install command
[08:21] <konner> xD
[08:22] <jzitt> bazhang: Yeah. It turns out that when I ran the script the first time without a net connection, it set some things up anyway, which then got screwed up when I ran it again once connected and then yet again after a system update.
[08:22] <chaco> bazhang, it is asking me for the command (place where pidgin can be found) where do i find that? under which folder?
[08:22] <jzitt> bazhang: Completely blowing back to a fresh install, doing all updates, and *then* running the script worked.
[08:22] <freshtonic> chaco: /usr/bin/pidgin
[08:22] <seek_therapy> I just need help with installing this unbuntu correctly. I am dual booting and keep getting a grub error when i restart. at this moment i am using live CD
[08:23] <freshtonic> you can find out where a command lives by typing the command 'which pidgin' (without the quotes) in a command window
[08:23] <chaco> thanks
[08:23] <chaco> got it
[08:23] <seek_therapy>  and i have received grub error 17 and 25
[08:24] <jzitt> Now I just have to figure out mounting the SD card.
[08:25] <Darknezz> i was playing with the configure editor and i made changed the name of trash_icon_name and everything on my desktop disappeared how can i get it back?
[08:25] <konner> it says i have wine installed but i dont see it in my applications
[08:25] <Mo0oSaH> Why does my firefox crash every now and then when I play a youtube video?
[08:26] <theron> Mo0oSaH: it probably has something to do with what flash player you're using
[08:26] <theron> what flash are you using right now?
[08:26] <ianm_> Mo0oSaH: good question... same here... just started with 8.04
[08:26] <konner> why dont  i have the wine gtk thingy
[08:26] <Mo0oSaH> the latest version
[08:26] <freshtonic> konner: you use wine to launch windows applications, so if you had a windows executable called foo.exe, you would launch it with 'wine foo.exe'
[08:26] <seek_therapy> HELLO
[08:26] <seek_therapy> Hello
[08:26] <seek_therapy> today
[08:26] <theron> Mo0oSaH:  are you using gnash or the official flash player?
[08:27] <konner> im wanting to install spore creature creator off my cd i bought today
[08:27] <Mo0oSaH> I downloaded it yesterday because I couldn't play youtube and amarok at same time, now I can do that but occasionaly firefox crashes when I click a flash link
[08:27] <luojian> hello
[08:27] <Mo0oSaH> theron: I'm using the nonfree one
[08:27] <theron> i uninstalled the rest and installed macromedia flashplayer
[08:27] <tenX> there's been some hype about wine 1.0, why?
[08:27] <ompaul> tenX, they got to a release
[08:27] <seek_therapy> I cant even fu****** start my computer properly
[08:27] <theron> haven't had one problem since getting rid of the rest of the swf players and using macromedia flash
[08:27] <freshtonic> tenX: because it's a major event: it took 15 years of hard labour to get it to 1.0 status :)
[08:28] <Mo0oSaH> theron: it's in the repos?
[08:28] <tenX> ompaul: to a release? you mean the first "stable" version?
[08:28] <thenightbeckons> Good Afternoon, I have a question regarding the installation of Ubuntu. I currently have XP installed, and would like to do a reformat + clean install of 8.04. Will this be done if I boot using ISO image downloaded and burned and select the 2nd partition option (use all of the HDD) using install?
[08:28] <Mo0oSaH> theron: that's the one I'm using
[08:28] <ompaul> tenX, yeap
[08:28] <theron> easier than that, can get it from add/remove :-p
[08:28] <theron> it is huh....are the rest of your swf players uninstalled?
[08:28] <ompaul> !language | seek_therapy and the on button should work if you have more details  -- you need to give us more detail
[08:28] <QAH> Hey guys. I need some help making my Gusty live cd persistent!
[08:28] <tenX> freshtonic: alright, what version is wireshark/ethereal at? does it make a difference at all?
[08:28] <theron> you should check to see in firefox 3's plugins if there's others there
[08:29] <tenX> ompaul: thought there were major improvements...
[08:29] <freshtonic> thenightbeckons: if you use the 'all of HDD' option (can't recall exact wording) then it will destroy any data + OS on your drive.  Sounds like what you want
[08:29] <seek_therapy> watch my ***** you mean
[08:29] <theron> sometimes even if the right one is there it uses another on firefox 3 Mo0oSaH
[08:29] <QAH> Is there anyone that can help me?
[08:29] <SpiderDan> I have an external USB drive, formatted NTFS, that won't auto-mount in hardy.  when I plug it in, /dev/sdb shows up, but it won't mount
[08:29] <Mo0oSaH> theron I can't quite remember the command to check the installed flash players
[08:29] <Mo0oSaH> theron: mind helping me out?
[08:29] <SpiderDan> I'm not sure where to look for a log that explains the problem
[08:30] <theron> i don't know the command, honestly, but if you go to system tools and synaptic and search swf it will show them all
[08:30] <konner> On my spore CD how can i use the installation for it which is SCCSETUP.exe
[08:30] <freshtonic> tenX: I'm confused by your question - what does wireshark have to do with wine?
[08:30] <QAH> I am having problems making my Gusty live cd persistent. Can someone please help me?
[08:30] <tenX> freshtonic: it never reached version 1.0 status yet
[08:30] <BlueLagun2> ompaul: Never mind, that didn't fix it
[08:30] <tenX> freshtonic: still one of the greatest tools around
[08:31] <vipester> anybody have any tips on getting wpa to work?  my card works with wep...
[08:31] <linoock> Hey
[08:31] <ompaul> BlueLagun2, random crashes are usually caused by hardware have a look at those boot options
[08:31] <linoock> I have this weird problem
[08:31] <thenightbeckons> ffreshtonic: hmm ok. but this is very weird; my disk drive has an "Advertised capacity" of 80GB (which is more like 76/77 GBs), but af?
[08:31] <QAH> Can someone help me out?
[08:31] <theron> Mo0oSaH: did you find synaptic and the swf players?
[08:31] <linoock> whenever I run SDL applications, after some time my computer restarts (if the application is still running)
[08:31] <Mo0oSaH> theron: looking for them now
[08:31] <freshtonic> tenX: ah, I see.  I didn't know that.  But yes, it's an awesome tool.
[08:31] <thenightbeckons> whoos, let me retype that
[08:31] <linoock> but it wasn't always like that
[08:32] <linoock> Anyone can guess what it could be?
[08:32] <theron> alright, might take a few minutes Mo0oSaH  there's a lot and if you've been trying for a while might have several installed
[08:32] <jzitt> Ah! I found the answer to my mounting problem at http://www.eeewiki.org/ubuntu . I had to comment out the line about cdrom0 from /etc/fstab as root.
[08:32] <Mo0oSaH> theron: that's the only one I have installed
[08:32] <thenightbeckons> ﻿(03:31:26  SGT) : ffreshtonic: hmm ok. but this is very weird; my disk drive has an "Advertised capacity" of 80GB (which is more like 76/77 GBs), but after installation, the file system only states that there's 66 gbs of space. Now ubuntu doesn't take up 10 gbs of space to install, so i'm wondering where the rest of the capacity went. Was something not reformatted?
[08:33] <theron> Mo0oSaH:  are you using 32 or 64 bit? i'm using 64 and haven't used 32 bit ubuntu
[08:33] <QAH> Is anyone there that can help me out with my live cd???
[08:33] <tenX> freshtonic: my point was how putting up stable versioning numbers can be justified
[08:33] <wols_> theron: 5-10% of a ext2 filesystem are reserved for root
[08:33] <linoock> thenightbeckons: well if the vendor advertises KBs and MBs as multiples of 1000...
[08:33] <orfeo> you maybe have alocated that space in a transfer partition
[08:33] <jzitt>  SpiderDan: Check out the page that I just tried, http://www.eeewiki.org/ubuntu . You may e hitting the sae problem that I just found the fix for.
[08:33] <wols_> then there is meta information like direcotirs, inode tables etc which also take room
[08:34] <SpiderDan> jzitt: thanks, I will.
[08:34] <tenX> freshtonic: thought it had to go together with major improvements
[08:34] <QAH> I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:34] <freshtonic> thenightbeckons: I'm not sure what happened there.  fire up the gnome partition editor and have a look around (don't change anything though!) and see if it shows any extra space on the physical device.  you may have created a partition that didn't use all available disk space
[08:34] <jsilverman2> is there a community of ubuntu-based web developers
[08:34] <jsilverman2> i looked for a forum but i didn't find one
[08:34] <ThreeFingerPete_> hi, i am using the AWN or avant window navigator as my bottom panel. has anyone managed to use it for a top panel?
[08:35] <thenightbeckons> freshtonic: where's the partition editor ?
[08:35] <SpiderDan> QAH: you are trying to make a "persistent" live CD without actually installing?
[08:35] <ThreeFingerPete_> thenightbeckons, you need to install it
[08:35] <theron> thenightbeckons: it's gparted, you can use sudo gparted from a terminal to open it
[08:35] <freshtonic> thenightbeckons: System/Administration/Partition Editor
[08:36] <QAH> SpiderDan: Can We chat in private? This irc is kinda cloged.
[08:36] <tenX> theron: you can as well google for gparted boot disk
[08:36] <freshtonic> thenightbeckons: which is actully gparted
[08:36] <xim> is there a program that will break my network connections down like top and tell me whats transfering how much
[08:36] <adante> hi, is there a control panel applet or osmething or some way to control the same stuff you can control from nvidia-settings from the command line?

[08:40] <c9s> could anyone tell me please , thanks
[08:40] <freshtonic> c9s: is your network starting properly?  see what ifconfig shows.  You could also make sure you have a localhost entry in your /etc/hosts file
[08:41] <thenightbeckons> freshtonic: ok I've opened that up , and i have 3 partitions: ext3, Size: 73.12 GB, Used: 2.72 GB, Unused: 70.40 extended: Size: 1.41 GB and Linux0swap: 1.41 GB (the latter two have no used/unused markings) <---is this correct? and if so why does my file browser way 66 GB unused instead of 70.4
[08:41] <boris> hello. when i login into ubuntu, ive got crappy sound. ive got to modify ALSA PCM on front:0 in Volume Control and set it to about three thirds. it works, the sound is good, but it only lasts until another reboot, any suggestions ?

[08:41] <c9s> linoock: yes
[08:41] <c9s> i got this:
[08:41] <c9s> [ ~:latvia : 15:37:29 ] $ ping localhost
[08:41] <c9s> PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
[08:41] <c9s> ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable
[08:41] <c9s> ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable
[08:41] <FloodBot1> c9s: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:42] <freshtonic> thenightbeckons: see what gets printed when you run the command 'df -h' in a command window
[08:43] <linoock> c9s: how did you install apache
[08:43] <SCBobbear> Just wanted to come back and say hi.  Thanks for the help, I got ubuntu on my laptop and it works great.
[08:43] <c9s> linoock: just $ sudo apt-get install apache2
[08:43] <wols_> c9s: ifconfig output. this time in a pastebin
[08:43] <ariqs> what fun games are there to even play under linux anyway?
[08:43] <thenightbeckons> freshtonic: the sda1 has size 73G, used 2.2G, avail 67G , the rest have M and K so i won't post them unless you want me to
[08:43] <SCBobbear> made a discovery in my boot.ini and fixed what was wrong there.
[08:43] <PunjabDaSher> cube
[08:43] <Count> hello, I think fsck has removed my user directory
[08:43] <Count> ariqs, tremulous
[08:43] <davina> ariqs
[08:43] <tenX> ariqs: freeones.com
[08:44] <davina> loads
[08:44] <linoock> ariqs: there are many, and if you don't like them, there are always emulators you can use
[08:44] <freshtonic> thenightbeckons: regarding the unused space.  you won't see any for the swap partition, that's normal.  As for the other 1.41 GB extended partition, I don't know why that's there
[08:44] <c9s> wols_: here  http://paste.ubuntu.com/21772/
[08:44] <ariqs> i tried to use wine to play warcraft 3 and war3 runs fine for a bit and then the system totally hard locks. I'm not sure about the emulators ;P
[08:44] <wols_> c9s: content of /etc/network/interfaces
[08:45] <ariqs> tenx; you know the link you gave me is porn? ;P
[08:45] <cosmo_> never mind on my question I am an idiot
[08:45] <linoock> ariqs: I said emulators, wine is not an emulator...
[08:45] <tenX> ariqs: no! sorry! :)
[08:45] <c9s> wols_: ah, there should be a 'loopback' right ?
[08:45] <thenightbeckons> freshtonic: so do i need to worry? =/
[08:45] <tenX> ariqs: i must have misspelled sth there
[08:45] <linoock> !!question!! my comp shuts down every time I run a SDL application for long enough, how can I find out why/how?
[08:46] <Count> wow, I feel like crap now
[08:46] <wols_> linoock: overheating?
[08:46] <Count> all of my user info is gone now
[08:46] <ariqs> tenX: no problem, I don't mind it, it was just a surprise ;p
[08:46] <c9s> wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21773/
[08:46] <linoock> wols_: how can I find out? It's quite likely but I want to be sure
[08:46] <freshtonic> thenightbeckons: if you're system seems to be working fine, and you are not too concerned about a mere 2 or 3 GB discrepancy, I would say you have nothing to worry about. :)
[08:47] <thenightbeckons> ah ok thanks!
[08:47] <wols_> c9s: you use gnome-network-manager?
[08:47] <tenX> ariqs: i feel ashamed, sth went wrong here!
[08:47] <c9s> wols_: yes
[08:47] <edfromballarat> anybody free to answer a quick question?
[08:47] <tenX> ariqs: btw - its the best site i know so far
[08:47] <wols_> c9s: it's probably misconfigured. enables your eth0 and shutds down lo
[08:47] <c9s> wols_: how do i fix this ? thanks
[08:48] <ianm_> anyone know how to do a screencast and record the playing music instead of the Mic
[08:48] <wols_> no clue about it. I think it's a POS
[08:49] <linoock> So if my computer shuts down because of overheating how can I find out if indeed that's the case?
[08:50] <tenX> linoock: how you get that feeling of overheating?
[08:50] <rainabba> Trying to build CairoDock and make fails with many 'CairoDock' has no member named 'XXX' .... errors. What's the common cause of such a build problem?
[08:50] <linoock> tenX: I did not, wols_ suggested it. My computer shuts down after I run an SDL application for a long time
[08:50] <rainabba> Bahh! nm
[08:50] <c9s> wols_: ok i got "it works"
[08:50] <c9s> wols_: thanks ,
[08:50] <Bob24> hello
[08:51] <c9s> wols_: $ ifconfig lo up
[08:51] <Bob24> can someone please help me with this problem?
[08:51] <SCBobbear> i8kfangui tells you how hot your computer is running.
[08:51] <tenX> linoock: hmm not familiar with sdl apps, sry..
[08:51] <Bob24> I having some problems with the video driver on mythbuntu. It has always been working. But know the last time i rebooted the machine, it said it is in low graphics mode and flickers like crazy on my tv. When i try to enable restricted drivers in ticks it, it then asks to reboot, i reboot and i still get the same problem. Running in low graphics mode. Any suggestions please? I got no idea wat has just happend. I have changed nothing.
[08:51] <linoock> SCBobbear: are you being serious? I don't have such utility
[08:51] <freshtonic> linoock: the smoke is a dead giveaway. but the serious answer is check /var/log/messages.  you may see some 'hot trip point' messages or something like that in there
[08:52] <linoock> freshtonic: thanks
[08:52] <SCBobbear> yeah.  I use it.
[08:52] <tenX> freshtonic: smoke?
[08:52] <SCBobbear> shoot.  hang on.
[08:52] <rainabba> Build is failing because "error: glitz-glx.h: No such file or directory". I have libglitz-dev installed. Why the error?
[08:52] <Bob24> any ideas please
[08:52] <SCBobbear> I have been back and forth between my linux and my windows so many times today.  I use the i8k proggie on my windows app.
[08:53] <linoock> SCBobbear: oh, so it's a windows utility...
[08:53] <SCBobbear> but I am sure there is somethign out there that lets you monitor whether your box is getting too hot and causing shutdowns.
[08:53] <SCBobbear> Yeah, sorry, did not mean to confuse the issue.
[08:53] <tenX> SCBobbear: i8k?
[08:53] <Darknezz> i have a easy question i know someone can help me out. at the moment i have audicious installed and everytime i listen to music and lets say someone signs on pidgin or i play a youtube video it will pause the music until i close the youtube vid or after the other sound is done playing.
[08:53] <sonetre> when I try to connect a sata hd, ubuntu loading stops at "Loading hardware drivers"...any clues?
[08:53] <SCBobbear> It is a fan control and temp proggie.
[08:53] <SCBobbear> Yeah tenX.
[08:54] <tenX> SCBobbear: thank you :)
[08:54] <linoock> Okay so, let us assume it's overheating. Should I... get more fans? do what?
[08:54] <SCBobbear> but it is windows based.  sorry.
[08:54] <tenX> SCBobbear: you dont have to apologize ;)
[08:54] <SCBobbear> I put a desk fan right behind my computer to keep it cool.
[08:54] <tenX> linoock: exactly
[08:54] <linoock> Do you think dust can affect that?
[08:54] <SCBobbear> oh yeah. dust is evil.
[08:54] <linoock> Because I didn't use to have that problem...
[08:55] <SCBobbear> ports get clogged up.
[08:55] <SCBobbear> no air circulation.  Okay, I will shut up now.  lol.
[08:55] <tenX> linoock: open up the case and put a real life fan in front of your system. what kind of system is it btw?
[08:55] <linoock> tenX: pentium 4 3Ghz ?
[08:55] <FuRom> Anyone know if there is a packet editor like WPE for ubuntu?
[08:56] <linoock> FuRom: wireshark
[08:56] <freshtonic> linoock: I experienced overheating while using my machine in a hot, Sydney summer.  Dust turned out to be the problem - after I cleaned it all out, (and kept doing it every 3 months or so) I never had the problem of unwanted shutdowns again.
[08:56] <FuRom> linoock, thank you.
[08:56] <linoock> freshtonic: ah, great. Then it might be dust.
[08:56] <tenX> linoock: hmm, p4.. that might cause a lot of heat i guess
[08:57] <beeant> linoock: Put the Computer Temperature Monitor applet on your gnome panel. You can see how hot its getting.
[08:57] <FuRom> linoock, is it strictly a terminal interface, or does ﻿wireshark have a GUI?
[08:57] <tenX> FuRom: packet editor?
[08:57] <linoock> FuRom: it has gui.
[08:57] <Bob24> please help!
[08:57] <linoock> beeant: I will try this
[08:57] <Bob24> I having some problems with the video driver on mythbuntu. It has always been working. But know the last time i rebooted the machine, it said it is in low graphics mode and flickers like crazy on my tv. When i try to enable restricted drivers in ticks it, it then asks to reboot, i reboot and i still get the same problem. Running in low graphics mode. Any suggestions please? I got no idea wat has just happend. I have changed nothing.
[08:57] <FuRom> tenX, it's for seeing and controlling data between a client and server.
[08:57] <FuRom> linoock, thanks soooo much. ^_^
[08:58] <linoock> beeant: but where exactly do I get that? .. :(
[08:58]  * delcoyote hi
[08:58] <tenX> FuRom: looking at packets is not the same as editing, thats where i came from
[08:58] <linoock> FuRom: no problem. there's also ettercap. You can invoke it in GUI mode with the -G option
[08:59] <FuRom> tenX, I need to record and send a single packet over and over and over to run a stability test on a server I'm making.
[08:59] <linoock> FuRom: try hping?
[08:59] <sonetre> when I add a hd do the UUIDs on the existing one change?
[08:59] <FuRom> linoock, hping? I'm not technical term savy =/
[08:59] <tenX> FuRom: hping, file2cable?
[08:59] <beeant> linoock: I think its not a standard applet. Open synaptic and find the package computertemp
[09:00] <FuRom> tenX, lol, I'm not very technical term savy.
[09:00] <linoock> FuRom: it's not a technical term, it's the name of an utility. It doesn't have gui though, and you'll have to read it's manual page first
[09:00] <legend2440> Bob24: do you have backup xorg.conf to compare with?. has it changed for some reason?
[09:00] <linoock> If you're not technical term savvy, why are you making stability tests anyway? What would you know about that...
[09:00] <Muhammad_Saad> Hi, Can someone tell me how long it will take for Firefox 3 to be available for Ubuntu 7.10?
[09:00] <AnAnt> Hello, are there any cellphones that got Ubuntu mobile edition on it ?
[09:00] <FuRom> linoock, ah, I'm writing all this stuff in a sticky note to try out.
[09:01] <stunatra> Anyone still on Ubuntu 7.10 that experience Nautilus crashing constantly?
[09:02] <muzy> hello @ all. I've a few questions about Ubuntu. The First is, does ubuntu runs fluently on a 500mhz Pc with 512 MB Ram? And the second is, when the ubuntu-netbook-remix will be publish? thanks.
[09:02] <linoock> OKAY! I'm going to clean up my computer, and then I'll try again the SDL application. If it shuts down I'll look at /var/log/messages.
[09:02] <linoock> muzy: ubuntu runs, but gnome/kde might not. You might want to use a ligher window manager
[09:03] <Bob24> legend2440: no sry i dont
[09:03] <amishrobots> why am i stuck with dapper drake 6.06? upgrade mgr gives me no option upgrade to 8.04
[09:03] <muzy> and what is a lighter window manager?
[09:03] <linoock> muzy: there are many, such as wmii, ratpoison ...
[09:03] <tenX> amishrobots: /etc/apt/sources.list?
[09:03] <rausb0> muzy: xfce, windowmaker, fluxbox, ...
[09:03] <legend2440> Bob24: can you paste xorg.conf?
[09:03] <legend2440> !paste
[09:03] <muzy> linoock: where i can get ubuntu with this window manager?
[09:04] <linoock> muzy: you can't, you have to install it yourself
[09:04] <starz> muzy, what window manager?
[09:04] <Bob24> legend2440: u mean in the chat window
[09:04] <muzy> thanks linoock
[09:04] <starz> ...
[09:04] <starz> muzy, what window manager?
[09:04] <amishrobots> tenx how do i make it give me that list, i am stupid
[09:04] <linoock> starz: scroll up, wmii or ratpoison
[09:04] <legend2440> Bob24: no in pastebin
[09:04] <starz> linoock, scroll up to my join :P
[09:04] <legend2440> !paste
[09:04] <tenX> amishrobots: of course you aren't
[09:05] <starz> ah
[09:05] <muzy> starz: the question was : dioes ubuntu run on a 500mhz pc with 512 mb ram?
[09:05] <linoock> starz: lol.
[09:05] <Bob24> k ill give it a shot
[09:05] <starz> muzy sure
[09:05] <starz> but
[09:05] <starz> i would recommend dsl
[09:05] <starz> or puppylinux
[09:05] <tenX> amishrobots: you'll probably have to edit that file and add the new version
[09:05] <starz> but
[09:05] <linoock> no ubuntu runs fine
[09:05] <FloodBot1> starz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:05] <linoock> freebsd can run too
[09:05] <SCBobbear> thanks guys.  just listening to the channel I have learned a lot.  Thanks again.
[09:05] <starz> shush FloodBot1
[09:05] <linoock> it's all about the window manager you are going to use
[09:05] <amishrobots> how?
[09:05] <starz> but
[09:05] <starz> i would personally do a server install
[09:06] <starz> install the -generic kernel [linux-image-generic i think it is]
[09:06] <tenX> amishrobots: simply google for 8.04 sources.list
[09:06] <starz> then install the wm, and any basic packages i need, like xterm, etc
[09:06] <starz> amishrobots, one sec
[09:06] <starz> !paste
[09:06] <muzy> okay thanks i will test it .. i want ubuntu to run on my old notebook
[09:06] <starz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/21778/
[09:07] <starz> muzy, make sure to keep stuff like trackerd out of there.
[09:07] <starz> thus the server install to keep the bloat to a minimum
[09:07] <starz> also you should consider fluxbuntu
[09:07] <bullgard4> [Hardy] What is the reason that today again one could download 100 MB using Update Manager? What error has caused this huge amount?
[09:07] <starz> fluxbox is quite light, or perhaps icewm
[09:07] <muzy> okay i try it. thanks
[09:07] <starz> np
[09:08] <starz> bullgard4,
[09:08] <starz> how long has it been since you updated ?
[09:08] <starz> 1 week or so?
[09:08] <starz> there were a lot of updates, like openoffice and kernels and whatnot.
[09:08] <bullgard4> starz: No. Since a day before yesterday.
[09:08] <starz> if your really short on space do: sudo apt-get clean
[09:08] <starz> it clears the /var/cache/apt/somethingorother
[09:09] <CorpseFeeder> Can someone tell me what "	Capabilities: <access denied>" means in relation to a built-in SD memory card reader on a laptop?
[09:09] <starz> bullgard4, like i said there have been a lot of updates - i would look at the update manager at the packages its going to install before doing so
[09:09] <tenX> damn is there any piece of software to prevent dizzyness?
[09:09] <bullgard4> starz: Please read again what I asked. I'd like to know why Ubuntu made so many changes.
[09:09] <starz> it also depends on what you have in there.
[09:09] <Bob24> legend2440: Just a sec i have no drivers on this one installed as in no restricted ones. Just default ones.
[09:09] <starz> ok for me i have 189.9MB of updates to do
[09:09] <jengelh2> tenX: some sort of drug?
[09:10] <MrWizeGuy1983> bullgard4: aren't updates good?
[09:10] <tenX> jengelh2: anti-drug
[09:10] <enaner_> you know how theres wine to emulate or run windows programs.. is there anything like that but to use Mac programs?
[09:11] <starz> smbm openssl-blacklist, samba, xserver-xorg-core app-install-data evolution stuff firefox stuff, linux headers linux image, restricted modules openoffice stuff
[09:11] <starz> etc
[09:11] <legend2440> Bob24: what video card?
[09:11] <starz> these things add up bullgard4
[09:11] <bullgard4> starz: I did not ask how many you have. Please read again the question which I have put here.
[09:11] <sonetre> when I try to connect a sata hd, ubuntu loading stops at "Loading hardware drivers"...any clues? (fstab is already using uuids)
[09:11] <starz> bullgard4, ive answered your question twice
[09:11] <Bob24> legend2440: Is it normal to have 36 xorg.conf files? (i wouldnt think so)
 there were a lot of updates, like openoffice and kernels and whatnot.
[09:11] <bullgard4> MrWizeGuy1983: Do you know the answer to the question which I have put here?
[09:11] <starz> Bob24, depends on how many times youve changed the config lol
[09:11] <starz> bullgard4, lets do it a different way ok?
[09:11] <DistroJockey> CorpseFeeder: you need to run that command with sudo
[09:12] <starz> maybe this will make more sense to you
[09:12] <bullgard4> starz: Thank you very much.
[09:12] <MrWizeGuy1983> i saw and did the updates, and looked on it as a good thing bullgard4 but don't know why so many came out at once
[09:12] <starz> did you already do the update yet or no?
[09:12] <Bob24> legend2440: Its a Leadtek My vivo Geforce 5700 256mb
[09:12] <CorpseFeeder> DistroJockey: yes. I worked that out. Thanks.
[09:12] <bullgard4> starz: Yes, I did.
[09:12] <starz> ah
[09:12] <DistroJockey> CorpseFeeder: ahh, k. np
[09:12] <Bob24> legend2440: thing is its always been working with it
[09:12] <starz> i'm not sure i can figure out which things were upgraded for sure then
[09:12] <starz> but almost certainly openoffice and all the linux image and kernels and modules
[09:13] <starz> basically - when hardy came out it wasnt really ready
[09:13] <starz> so they are doing LOTS of fixes, and backports, and updates to make it stable.
[09:13] <IfZen> !list
[09:13] <Bob24> legend2440: i just used the restrcted drivers first time and it worked, now every time its not working when i reboot. Sometimes it may work
[09:13] <starz> this release of ubuntu will be supported on the desktop for 3 years, so they want to get the more finalized packages really really solid before they stop updating them, ok?
[09:14] <IndoRama> I am not able to play MP3s in Amarok
[09:14] <MrWizeGuy1983> IndoRama: have you installed the ubuntu restricted areas?
[09:14] <starz> bullgard4, o good your still here too
[09:14] <legend2440> Bob24: sorry i'm not familiar with drivers for that card. i have ati
[09:15] <starz> ok bullgard4 open up a terminal: applications > accessories > terminal
[09:15] <starz> type this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:15] <starz> Bob24, what card?
[09:15] <gnarf> I have been following the excellent instructions on setting up a windows vpn connection on http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-ubuntu.phtml. But although ppp1 shows an ip address of the network I am vpn to, i can't ping any other computer on that network. I think it is an iptables problem? Any suggestions? Running ubuntu 7.04
[09:15] <IndoRama> MrWizeGuy1983: what is restircted aeas ? I installed MP3 it prompted me to install
[09:16] <CorpseFeeder> My SD card reader is not currently working. It is detected and shows up in lspci. Is there any chance it could be made to work?
[09:16] <starz> !medibuntu
[09:16] <starz> !medibuntu
[09:16] <MrWizeGuy1983> IndoRama: open the package manager (add/remove) and search mp3 and it should show ubuntu restricted areas, which worked well for me
[09:16] <starz> get that. ubuntu restricted extras does not include w32codecs
[09:16] <starz> CorpseFeeder, quite possibly lol ;)
[09:17] <MrWizeGuy1983> w32codecs and w64codecs are great, but my mp3 worked before installing those
[09:18] <WalloO> MrWizeGuy1983, for sure, W32codecs is nearly useless
[09:18] <bullgard4> starz: Why do you ask me to do that? I usually do operations in that area using Synaptic.
[09:18] <Guest145725> http://www.ihateyoujulia.com/?id=952e020ecd02de0ca441e5d9eda68616
[09:18] <Guest145725> http://www.ihateyoujulia.com/?id=952e020ecd02de0ca441e5d9eda68616
[09:18] <MrWizeGuy1983> didn't know, just knew after installing restricted areas almost everything worked WalloO
[09:18] <starz> bullgard4, i want it to make sense to you
[09:18] <afallenhope> I'm using XChat I was wondering if I recompiled it myself... will the ADD/REMOVE remove it /
[09:18] <starz> do the first one, but if it shows packages dont push y to the second one
[09:18] <MrWizeGuy1983> though i do have w64codecs installed now
[09:18] <starz> it will show each package, and a total downloaded and total space used
[09:19] <WalloO> afallenhope, no. only if you recompile and generate a package for install.
[09:19] <starz> afallenhope, what?
[09:19] <CorpseFeeder> lspci says this about my SD card reader http://paste.ubuntu.com/21779/ - what is the probability that someone will be able to help me make this thing work?
[09:19] <starz> sudo apt-get remove xchat
[09:19] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: why would you need to recompile it?
[09:19] <IndoRama> MrWizeGuy1983: Thanks, I m installing it now
[09:19] <bullgard4> starz: I have done the operation which you are asking me for, just yesterday. I will not repeat it today.
[09:19] <WalloO> afallenhope, if you install without doing a package, it will not be in your installed list
[09:19] <afallenhope> Starnestommy: there's a new version out.
[09:19] <Bob24> legend2440: u there?
[09:19] <starz> bullgard4, see this is the problem
[09:19] <MrWizeGuy1983> good luck IndoRama i'm not a pro but i've set up a few linux systems, can try to help if that doesn't do it
[09:20] <starz> your not listening
[09:20] <starz> !troll
[09:20] <starz> jeez
[09:20] <Bob24> legend2440: heres my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/21780/
[09:20] <bullgard4> starz: Yes.
[09:20] <starz> Bob24, what are you trying to get to work?
[09:20] <legend2440> Bob24: ok
[09:20] <starz> nv is jsut basics
[09:20] <starz> :>
[09:21] <starz> decent opensauce driver though if your not doing compiz or dual monitors
[09:21] <afallenhope> Then how would I update to the newest XChat?
[09:21] <starz> afallenhope, you can compile it if you like
[09:21] <starz> sudo apt-get build-dep xchat
[09:21] <Bob24> starz: yeh but wen it doesnt work. Its a problem
[09:21] <starz> then go get the source from the site... #xchat is where they hang out
[09:21] <starz> Bob24, i gotta go reboot a server real fast
[09:21] <starz> if your still having trouble in a few i'll help you get up and running ok?
[09:21] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: compile it yourself.  The old version will stay installed, but tne new version will take precedence over it
[09:22] <Bob24> starz: thanks
[09:22] <starz> Bob24, do you want to use the nv btw?
[09:22] <starz> if you want to use the nvidia drivers i need to know which card it is
[09:22] <onats> how do i permanently add environment variables?
[09:22] <WalloO> afallenhope, you can remove your current xchat with synaptic then compile and insall the new one in /usr/local
[09:23] <MrWizeGuy1983> do you guys like irssi for irc?
[09:23] <Bob24> starz: well the restricted drivers worked fine though now their not.
[09:23] <onats> mrwizeguy1983, only when running it from terminal
[09:23] <MrWizeGuy1983> what other way is there? lol
[09:23] <WalloO> Anybody knows a good VGA stress test, like cpuburn does for cpu?
[09:23] <MrWizeGuy1983> that's what i'm using right now, is anything better onats ?
[09:23] <Bob24> starz: its a Leadtek my vivo Geforce FX 5700 256mb
[09:24] <afallenhope> starz: what does: sudo apt-get build-dep xchat do?
[09:24] <easyreply> Hi quick question is it possible to safely transfer files from a linux formatted drive to an ntfs formatted drive?
[09:25] <sanity> I am wondering, how to get "Desktop Cube" (I have CompizConfig intalled) to behave properly with a touchscreen?  Anyone have a touchscreen and played around with it?
[09:25] <WalloO> afallenhope, it download and install all libraries and software needed to compile and install xchat
[09:25] <Starnestommy> easyreply: it depends on what you mean by 'safely'
[09:25] <Bob24> legend2440: What do you think of the config file?
[09:25] <amishrobots> tenx i got cutoff
[09:26] <WalloO> sanity, difficult since it uses 3rd button or key control.
[09:26] <starz> 5700?
[09:26] <MrWizeGuy1983_> trying to decide if i like irssi or xchat better
[09:26] <MrWizeGuy1983_> hard to say really
[09:26] <MrWizeGuy1983_> any ideas?
[09:26] <starz> afallenhope, that gets all the pcakges you need to build it
[09:26] <WalloO> easyreply, just copy them. However, access rights will be lost
[09:26] <easyreply> starnestommy: lol aye a good question. Firstly, while holding the integrity of the data - flac files. I am assuming it cannot "harm" the ntfs drive?
[09:27] <tomasko> does firefox 3 crash a _lot_ more than firefox 2 for anyone else?
[09:27] <legend2440> Bob24: you say you have other xorg.conf files. can you check a few  to see if older ones used vesa driver also?
[09:27] <starz> bob do you have nvidia-glx-legacy in ?
[09:27] <tezzie> hi
[09:27] <WalloO> MrWizeGuy1983, I prefer xchat....
[09:27] <ricky111> what's the IRC client that runs under terminal, and you have to tab between servers/channels etc
[09:27] <MrWizeGuy1983> tomasko: it did in windows but seems great on ubuntu, the 64 bit version that is
[09:27] <Starnestommy> easyreply: ntfs-3g usually works fine for reading and writing to ntfs
[09:27] <MrWizeGuy1983> ty WalloO  i'll try it a bit
[09:28] <sanity> WalloO: Right, is there a work around for the problem where the cube spins like crazy, does something like 200 revs a second..  I assume it is because the mouse position is always read as relative during a manual turn, the touch is always absolute.
[09:28] <afallenhope> after I compile/install it goes to /usr/bin right? or /usr/local/bin?
[09:28] <Bob24> starz: starz i was using the restricted drivers im not sure.
[09:28] <Bob24> legend2440: ok 1 sec ill check
[09:28] <WalloO> MrWizeGuy1983_, it'S easier to deal with multi channels and private with windows and tabs...
[09:28] <tomasko> MrWizeGuy1983_, and channel: sorry, i should have stated on 32-bit ubuntu
[09:28] <starz> nvidia-glx-legacy nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-settings linux-restricted-modules-generic
[09:28] <easyreply> ﻿Starnestommy: Access rights on the ntfs drive I assume, but access rights as being able to "Alter" the files - write to in onther words?
[09:28] <starz> sudo apt-get install those Bob24
[09:29] <MrWizeGuy> np tomasko i just haven't used 32 bit ubuntu so i'm useless on that one
[09:29] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: /usr/local/bin
[09:29] <Bob24> ok
[09:29] <starz> then do a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:29] <afallenhope> kkz
[09:29] <starz> let me know what packages want to upgrade
[09:29] <isthisfreee> hi every one
[09:29] <afallenhope> Starnestommy: and to uninstall sudo make uninstall
[09:29] <starz> afallenhope, get that xchat thing figured out?
[09:29] <starz> hi isthisfreee
[09:29] <starz> and yes it is
[09:29] <starz> :>
[09:29] <afallenhope> starz: gettin' there
[09:29] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: I think so
[09:30] <WalloO> sanity:I have no idea at all... sorry. Maybe your explanation looks right. If you can simulate ctrl+alt+left or ctrl+alt+right, it may be the solution
[09:30] <MrWizeGuy> anyone know how to change the color of the panels on gnome? dumb question i'm sure
[09:30] <sonetre> when I try to connect a sata hd, ubuntu loading stops at "Loading hardware drivers"...any clues? (fstab is already using uuids) HELP!!!!
[09:30] <starz> afallenhope, #xchat for the win on that
[09:30] <starz> direct support
[09:30] <starz> ^^
[09:30] <easyreply> ﻿Starnestommy: Thank you, you have cheered me up  :-)
[09:31] <ordenador> ola
[09:31] <starz> hola
[09:31] <WalloO> sanity, I know there is a screenlet used ton control compiz. Maybe it can be used to create 2 buttons to turn the cube left or right. You may give it a try
[09:31] <starz> WalloO, o:
[09:32] <ordenador> alguien me ayuda soi nuevo en linux y no se como controlarlo
[09:32] <onats> where is java_home once you install java in ubuntu?

[09:32] <ordenador> alguien me ayuda soi nuevo en linux y no se como controlarlo

[09:33] <CorpseFeeder> how do I find out what version of Xorg I am using?
[09:34] <bluebug_> starz: yes.
[09:34] <starz> you need to compile alsa
[09:34] <ordenador> sabes como puedo abrer un archivo .exe
[09:34] <MrWizeGuy> ordenador,  se usa la programa nombrado "WINE"
[09:34] <ordenador> sabes como instalarlo? yo no se
[09:34] <tenX> ordenador: spanish _and_ PE?
[09:35] <WalloO> sanity, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CompizButtons+Screenlet?content=71321     I don't know what it really does, but it may be a good solution if you can rotate the cube from that
[09:35] <MrWizeGuy> es muy facil, anadir y removar, busca "WINE"
[09:35] <starz> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=715755 try this one bluebug_
[09:35] <starz> i know its for the 1212 on the guide
[09:35] <bluebug_> starz: I found a post about the issue.  http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?s=04ff52ad32be85cffb8a4e5197332827&t=518039&page=2
[09:35] <starz> but i think the 0404 is supposed to have some support on this same version of drivers
[09:36] <ordenador> ME Das tu Hotmail y hablamos por ai.. es que es importante lla intente instalarlo y no pude
[09:36] <CorpseFeeder> how do I find out what version of Xorg I am using?
[09:36] <WalloO> ordenador, "sudo apt-get install wine"   par installar wine.
[09:36] <starz> File:alsa-driver-1.0.17rc2.tar.bz2 you could also try those bluebug_
[09:36] <starz> as thats as front of the line as it gets
[09:36] <afallenhope> Starnestommy: should I uninstall XChat before I compile the new version?
[09:36] <MrWizeGuy> ok, es     mrwizeguy1983 @ gmail . com
[09:36] <bluebug_> starz: thanks.  I'll try it.
[09:37] <esac> when i play a video on youtube fullscreen, it really skips. same system, windows it does not. any ideas ? nvidia 570gm w/ envyng installed driver
[09:37] <starz> no problem bluebug_
[09:37] <sanity> WalloO: thanks champ.
[09:37] <starz> but if it works post in the forums that it worked for you card, so google will cache it and the next guy gets easier luck
[09:37] <starz> ;)
[09:37] <MrWizeGuy> esac, are you using the macromedia flash? that's the only one that worked right for me
[09:37] <WalloO> heyyyy.... anybody knows a vga stress test like cpuburn does for CPU?
[09:37] <CorpseFeeder> I worked it out. don't worry.
[09:38] <ordenador> es todo junto?
[09:38] <WalloO> sanity, it works ?
[09:38] <srizz> can you get beryl on ubuntu 8.04
[09:38] <Bob24> starz: ok, it installed the nvidia-legacy, but the others were already installed it said, and the last long command it done updates.
[09:38] <esac> MrWizeGuy, shockwave flash .. is that the same ?
[09:38] <sanity> WalloO:  Not sure, it looks useful regardless, will probably be easier for the touch screen.
[09:38] <starz> srizz, beryl is depreciated - get fusion-icon compizconfig-settings-manager and emerald
[09:39] <MrWizeGuy> it's similar, macromedia was the only one that worked for me esac
[09:39] <starz> Bob24, it did do updates?
[09:39] <WalloO> ordenador, si quieres ablar espanol, hai un channel
[09:39] <starz> were any of them the linux image or drivers/modules?
[09:39] <srizz> what do you mean by ﻿depreciated
[09:39] <starz> 2.6.24 stuff
[09:39] <esac> ok ill give it a try
[09:39] <starz> srizz, its dead
[09:39] <WalloO> !walloo |es
[09:39] <srizz> just doesn't work as well
[09:39] <esac> damn it i lost the cap for my scotch bottle
[09:39] <starz> there was xgl
[09:39] <starz> then there was beryl
[09:39] <WalloO> !walloo | espagnol
[09:39] <FloodBot2> starz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:39] <starz> and compiz and beryl split
[09:39] <Bob24> starz: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:40] <starz> then beryl died and deprecieated and they joined again and 'fused'
[09:40] <starz> thus compiz-fusion
[09:40] <MrWizeGuy> starz i thought they got back together in beryl fusion
[09:40] <MrWizeGuy> compiz-fusion
[09:40] <srizz> where do i get it
[09:40] <MrWizeGuy> oops lol
[09:40] <afallenhope> starz: should I remove the previous version of xchat?
[09:40] <srizz> synaptic
[09:40] <starz> Bob24, did that prompt it to install anything?
[09:40] <starz> afallenhope, yeah
[09:40] <WalloO> MrWizeGuy, they did
[09:40] <starz> you can keep xchat open while you do
[09:40] <starz> but you might want to install irssi just in case
[09:40] <Bob24> starz: thats the command that updated stuff. the nvidia-legacy also install someting
[09:40] <afallenhope> okay
[09:40] <afallenhope> BRB
[09:40] <srizz> ??
[09:40] <starz> see
[09:41] <onats> how do i permanently add environment variables?
[09:41] <starz> my guess is that you need to restart, but first do this Bob24 :
[09:41] <Bob24> starz: it prompted me for the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade command
[09:41] <starz> sudo nvidia-xconfig
[09:41] <WalloO> onats, add export in your .bashrc
[09:41] <starz> after all the upgrades are done do that
[09:41] <starz> then restart computer
[09:41] <t_>  I installed Ubuntu (Hardy Heron 8.04) yesterday, and I've had some problems with it since then. Whenever I boot Ubuntu, the systems freezes after about 5 min. The icons start to disappear, I can't open files and longer (Unable to start child process (input/output error). And I can't do much else either. This is probably a hard drive defect. But do anybody know something I can do?
[09:41] <WalloO> onats, then logout and login
[09:41] <Bob24> starz: ok
[09:41] <onats> Wallo0, that env variable should also be visible in gdm right?
[09:42] <srizz>  sudo nvidia-xconfig....was that to me
[09:42] <CorpseFeeder> Is there any such thing as a PCMCIA Firewire card that is supported under Ubuntu?
[09:42] <starz> t_ get the live cd and apt-get install badblocks while in it, and do like so: badblocks /dev/sda

[09:42] <WalloO> t_:  sudo fsck /dev/sda

[09:42] <starz> WalloO, fsck on a live filesystem?
[09:42] <starz> lol
[09:42] <WalloO> t_,  maybe run man fsck for more parameters
[09:43] <starz> you might want to tell him how to get to a readonly single user mode first:
[09:43] <t_> Can't I run the chack just now?
[09:43] <starz> man fsck
[09:43] <starz> do that in a terminal t_
[09:43] <WalloO> Starz

[09:51] <Amaranth> srizz: That depends on what version you are using
[09:51] <WalloO> prodigel, is your tv card working correctly with tvtime?
[09:51] <srizz> amaranth: 8.04
[09:51] <Amaranth> srizz: If you are not using Ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 I cannot recommend using compiz
[09:51] <Amaranth> srizz: Oh, then it is installed and enabled by default
[09:51] <Amaranth> srizz: You should already be using it
[09:51] <prodigel> WalloO: donno what tvtime is but xawtv knows to use it

[09:52] <adante> hi, is there a way to find out if a particular file is provided by a package?
[09:52] <onats> how do i change the group of a directory and all files under it?
[09:52] <adante> or what packages would provide a file?
[09:53] <CorpseFeeder> how compatible exactly is the hardware in the laptops on this apge http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/list/?release=8.04%20LTS&category=Laptop ? I am thinking about getting a new laptop. If I were to get one of these "certified" models, would I still be facing the same problems of unsupported built-in devices?
[09:53] <CorpseFeeder> *page
[09:53] <WalloO> prodigel, is your card a mpeg2 one or a bt878 or something like that (your tv card)
[09:53] <Amaranth> srizz: Install compizconfig-settings-manager from synaptic then go to System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Effects
[09:53] <Amaranth> srizz: You can enable the cube from in there. Also, check out the #compiz-fusion channel for more help with customizing your compiz settings
[09:53] <afallenhope> If I typed sudo apt-get build-dep xchat how would I remove the things that were installed?
[09:53] <Bob24> starz: i dont get nvidia-config, u ther?
[09:53] <prodigel> WalloO: i think bt878, it's a leadtek 2000 xp deluxe something
[09:54] <prodigel> WalloO: pretty old :D
[09:54] <connor> afallenhope: you can go to synaptic to remove programs completely
[09:54] <prodigel> WalloO: got it for euro 2008 from a friend :D
[09:54] <Chrysalis> i have a permission problem with emptying trash, i used sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* but theres also a trashinfo folder, Is it safe to empty that too?
[09:54] <prodigel> WalloO: and now I want more!
[09:54] <eth01> heh
[09:54] <afallenhope> con-man:  that's cool bud but I don't know what was installed
[09:54] <afallenhope> connor**
[09:54] <afallenhope> connor: that's cool bud but I don't know what was installed
[09:54] <voyagi> I have some problems with my 3G-broadband, a Huawei E220. I try to use vodafone mobile connect driver for linux, but the problem is that the program does not find the USB modem, and I can't mount it like an USB-stick, but I can see it on lsusb
[09:55] <WalloO> prodigel, your system may be slow if you try to record at the same time. Was it the case? Was your video posed before beeing slow?
[09:55] <connor> afallenhope: what program are you talking about?
[09:55] <starz> Bob24, you dont get nvidia-xconfig?
[09:55] <srizz> amaranth: word
[09:55] <starz> well then run sudo nvidia-settings
[09:55] <prodigel> WalloO: I don't want to make it a super mythtv server, just to be able to watch tv from my lan, be it laptop, desk computer etc.
[09:55] <Bob24> starz: thats right i dont
[09:56] <BlueLagun2> For some reason my nvidia drivers are causing my computer to randomly reboot.  It took my a while to figure out what was causing the problem, but it stopped rebooting randomly when I downgraded to nvidia-glx (as opposed to nvidia-glx-new).  However, now desktop effects don't work and starting glx gears will reboot the computer
[09:56] <prodigel> WalloO: If I can configure it to do the least cpu/memory usage I'm willing to
[09:56] <BlueLagun2> Any ideas on how to fix this?
[09:56] <bluebug_> starz: I can't make the development version of alsa driver.  it says "Please, run the configure script as first...",  but i did it.  curious to say, my sound card works when I login Ubuntu with the avobe solution posted on Ubuntu Forum.
[09:56] <WalloO> prodigel, I just try to understand.
[09:56] <afallenhope> connor: I'm not talking about any program. I'm talking about a command that was typed into the terminal. Please read before you assume. I was told to type: sudo apt-get build-dep xchat so that I could compile something. I was just imformed that there was a huge security vulnerability ... so I want to rever to the "stable" version
[09:57] <WalloO> prodigel, the problem with sound with remote backend probably come from a misconfiguration.
[09:57] <adante> hi, how can i find out what files a package would install?
[09:57] <connor> afallenhope: sudo apt-get install xchat
[09:57] <connor> or you could go to add/remove programs and install xchat from tehre
[09:57] <connor> there*
[09:57] <prodigel> WalloO: probably, can you help me with that
[09:57] <CorpseFeeder> how compatible exactly is the hardware in the laptops on this page http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/list/?release=8.04%20LTS&category=Laptop ? I am thinking about getting a new laptop. If I were to get one of these "certified" models, would I still be facing the same problems of unsupported built-in devices? This one I am using has non-working bluetooth, SD card reader, TV out and IR port.
[09:58] <prodigel> WalloO: ?
[09:58] <WalloO> prodigel, the sound come from line in. And you have to configure mttv to record on line in (I think)
[09:58] <afallenhope> Can I have someone that will actually READ what I type.
[09:58] <Bob24> starz: ok i got a popup message saying. You do not appear to be using the nvidia X driver. please edit your X configuration file. And restart the x server.
[09:58] <connor> afallenhope: i just helped you out
[09:58] <afallenhope> connor: I'm asking HOW DO I REMOVE.... the build-dep
[09:58] <afallenhope> not INSTALL
[09:58] <connor> I don't know
[09:58] <prodigel> WalloO: it is on line in
[09:58] <afallenhope> ugh.
[09:58] <starz> perfect
[09:58] <bluebug_> startz:  after login, I have no sounds on my desktop.
[09:58] <WalloO> prodigel, when you watch tv from a remote backend, does the sound go out from your backend computer?
[09:58] <connor> What?
[09:58] <starz> Bob24, in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf just replace nv with nvidia, save and reboot
[09:58] <esperegu> anyone knows how to print an A3 on 2 A4's?
[09:58] <prodigel> WalloO: I have a jack stereo cable coming from the tuner, and going in my backend computer line in
[09:58] <WalloO> prodigel, when you watch tv from a remote fronckend, does the sound go out from your backend computer?
[09:59] <afallenhope> starz: you think you can help? You wee the one that told me to type the command in the first place lol.
[09:59] <WalloO> prodigel, when you watch tv from a remote frontend, does the sound go out from your backend computer?
[09:59] <prodigel> WalloO: I'll test it in a few seconds ...
[09:59] <Bob24> starz: ok 1 sec
[09:59] <prodigel> WalloO: brb(have to switch it on)
[09:59] <CorpseFeeder> sounds comes out from my backend sometimes.
[09:59] <WalloO> prodigel, I know for the jack, and it'S probably because mythtv don't know where to record the sound from which explain why you don 't have sound
[10:00] <Flynsarmy> I'm getting no sound in games. any ideas?
[10:00] <viperserv2> anyone know how to convert hard raid here?
[10:00] <starz> afallenhope, whats the problem
[10:00] <adante> mok
[10:01] <starz> afallenhope, tell you waht
[10:01] <WalloO> My cpu is a 66°C is it normal?
[10:01] <Bob24> starz: it has vesa in the boardname is this still ok
[10:01] <starz> i'm bored, and i'll compile it with you i suppose.
[10:01] <CorpseFeeder> is there a page anywhere which actually tells you what hardware does and does not work in these http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/list/?release=8.04%20LTS&category=Laptop ?
[10:01] <starz> Bob24, you could call it "bob's bad boi" and that would be fine :)
[10:01] <afallenhope> Okay you had me type the  sudo apt-get build-dep xchat so I did... I compiled Xchat. I was just informed the version is unstable. how do I remove the build-dep?
[10:01] <yesudeep2> Inkscape takes a very long time to start.  What is wrong?
[10:01] <yesudeep2> This is happening on all my machines.
[10:02] <starz> CorpseFeeder, trying to find a specific piece of hardware ?
[10:02] <afallenhope> starz: Okay you had me type the  sudo apt-get build-dep xchat so I did... I compiled Xchat. I was just informed the version is unstable. how do I remove the build-dep?
[10:02] <yesudeep2> GIMP fires up pretty quickly.
[10:02] <starz> lol
[10:02] <afallenhope> sorry for typing it twice.. didn't put your name there
[10:02] <starz> afallenhope, you need to make a list of what it installed to do so, and then uninstall each in one long line or so
[10:02] <starz> sudo apt-get remove pkg pkg2 pkg4 etc
[10:02] <starz> one sec
[10:02] <CorpseFeeder> starz: I am just interested to know how compatible the listed laptops are....
[10:03] <starz> afallenhope, join #flood
[10:03] <afallenhope> starz  but I closed the temrinal
[10:03] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, if they are listed, it means everything works smoothly
[10:03] <microwaver> Ok, this is the most general of questions, but does anyone felt that upgrading to Hardy slowed down your whole system?
[10:03] <lordlimecat> anyone have any experience getting ventrilo 3.0 to work under ubuntu?
[10:04] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, and if you want to be sure, take a centrino.
[10:04] <legend2440> afallenhope: build-dep installed the packages need to compile xchat. to uninstall open synaptic >file>history then click on latest date and you have to uninstall each one
[10:04] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: ok, thanks. Why a centrino?
[10:04] <prodigel> WalloO: It's on my remote computer
[10:05] <srizz> amaranth: no response from that channel, you know how to find the controls for compiz
[10:05] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, because it's well  known and well supported. in my opinion. I installed ubuntu on a LG centrino, and everything worked (worked better than with XP)
[10:06] <lilywap> Hi, I've inherited a PC with Ubuntu 6.04 on and I want to upgrade to 8.04 but the update-manager isn't saying there's a new version available. I'm following the instructions on the site.
[10:06] <WalloO> prodigel, your problem is that mythtv don't know where to record sound from. Maybe you should take a look at your tuner card configuration in the backend
[10:06] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: My current laptop uses Centrino, but it has lots of hardware which does not work in Ubuntu.
[10:06] <bazhang> lilywap, install update-manager-core from dapper-updates
[10:06] <prodigel> WalloO: I've just noticed that sound gets out on my server computer while runing frontend on my remote computer
[10:07] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, with XP, it was impossible to have the 2200 intel wireless card to support wpa2. With ubuntu it worked out of the box (out of the install)
[10:07] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: ...which is why I am thinking about getting a different laptop form that list
[10:07] <prodigel> WalloO: but still there is delay/slow motion
[10:07] <MrWizeGuy> i guess i'm the lucky one then, it all works, except the headphones and java (64 bit)
[10:07] <bazhang> lilywap, assuming you mean 6.06 :)
[10:07] <prodigel> WalloO: slow motion for sure. btw I'm using wlan if that matters
[10:07] <lilywap> bazhang: Thanks, I'll have a look for that
[10:08] <WalloO> prodigel, wireless lan is not good. Maybe wiuth good compression, wireless G may work, but usualy, it's not enough
[10:08] <Bob24> starz: k done, sry bout the wait its just painfully slow with default drivers with VNC
[10:08] <Bob24> starz: its just rebooting now
[10:09] <prodigel> WalloO: divx movies work with wlan. If I manage to encode enough the movie will I get better results?
[10:09] <prodigel> WalloO: I don't want to use it by wire. My entire home lan concept is based on wireless
[10:09] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, I think now, the only problem you may have with a laptop, id with wireless lan or bluetooth. Just check the chip used for that and look if it's supported by linux
[10:09] <Ad84> hi all, how do i install a theme?
[10:10] <bazhang> !themes | Ad84
[10:10] <starz> Bob24, wb
[10:10] <starz> ah
[10:10] <Bob24> starz: just a sec
[10:11] <WalloO> prodigel, divx yes, but your computer live-stream with less powerfull codec... So constraints are different. It has to compress a lot in real time. How many time does it takes to make a dual pass divx on your 2Ghz computer?
[10:12] <prodigel> WalloO: never done such a thing(doesn't sound familiar at least)
[10:12] <gordonjcp> prodigel: encoding video is much much more difficult than playback
[10:12] <MrWizeGuy> Q:  why don't girls use linux................ A: it's as stubborn as they are
[10:12] <pukeko> whats the path for audio cds that appear on desktop -- GRIP can't find it ?
[10:12] <WalloO> prodigel, check your compression configuration on your backend, and lower the bitrate. Is your wlan a G one?
[10:13] <prodigel> WalloO: usually works around 2MB/s
[10:13] <hazysoni1> hi, trying to figure out how to enable 1024x768 res on a toshiba laptop... Anyone here who might know about it?
[10:13] <MrWizeGuy> hazysoni1, have you installed your graphics drivers?
[10:14] <WalloO> prodigel, change your compression and make your test
[10:14] <hazysoni1> Yes, it's a trident driver, which says is installed from the package manager
[10:14] <prodigel> WalloO: where do I change compression method?
[10:14] <hazysoni1> but one or two web pages said something about using versa instead, which i don't know how to do
[10:15] <lilywap> bazhang: yes sorry, 6.04 LTS
[10:15] <starz> 6.06**
[10:15] <lilywap> erm 6.06
[10:15] <starz> ;)
[10:15] <starz> i install a few of those each day lol
[10:15] <Bob25> starz: ok do i still have to activate restricted drivers now?
[10:15] <WalloO> Im please to announce you my computer didn't crash for one hour....
[10:15] <starz> bob, you already installed the packages you can ignore all that
[10:16] <starz> if you like you can peek and see if it shows you them
[10:16] <WalloO> prodigel, mythtv-setup
[10:16] <starz> system > administration > hardware drivers
[10:16] <lilywap> anyhow - I just installed update-manager-core and ran update-manger again. the same thing happened (or didn't happen :) )
[10:16] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: This one I got now, the bluetooth, TV-out port, IR port, and SD card reader doesn't work. I get the feeling that no one is ever going to bother to add support for these in linux. There just doesn't seem to be any demand for these things to get supported in earlier laptop models.
[10:17] <lilywap> The https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades page says it should ask if I want to upgrade but it isn't
[10:17] <pukeko> when gutsy "mounts" an audio Cd on the desktop .. where is it actually mounted i cant see in under media or mnt -- i need the path
[10:17] <Bob25> starz: ok cos when i try to enter the nvidia settings it gives me that same error box. You do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver. Or should i just use the xorg config for all the reso setup?
[10:18] <lilywap> Should I force it with apt-get dist-upgrade or whatever?
[10:18] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, Hmmm... your unlucky man... What is this laptop?
[10:18] <threexk> is the DVD decoder in ubuntu restricted extra legal?
[10:18] <starz> Bob25,
[10:18] <starz> cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep nvidia
[10:18] <Ad84> it says to drag and drop file in gdm setup folder where is that?
[10:18] <threexk> I didn't think you could have a DVD decoder legally without paying a licensing fee
[10:18] <gordonjcp> threexk: yes, in most of the world
[10:19] <Ad84> sorry setup tool
[10:19] <gordonjcp> threexk: perhaps not in the US, but they don't matter ;-)
[10:19] <MrWizeGuy> legal is....relative
[10:19] <WalloO> threexk, you can, but in US you will go in jail.
[10:19] <MrWizeGuy> is anything legal? i think they might pass a law against breathing soon
[10:19] <prodigel> WalloO: I would like to do another test firstly: I want to see if on my backend server computer frontend can work ok. at least network is out of the context in this case, one less problem to worry
[10:19] <WalloO> prodigel, I hope it could
[10:19] <Bob25> starz: k it says nvidia
[10:19] <MrWizeGuy> WalloO, that's gotta be a joke, nobody cares about dvd codecs, it's old technology
[10:20] <Bob25> starz: thats when you told me to rename it isnt it?
[10:20] <threexk> I'm in the US, so I won't install it
[10:20] <WalloO> MrWizeGuy, right now yes, but when DVD jhon what at his trial, it was not the case
[10:20] <threexk> thanks gordonjcp, WalloO
[10:21] <lilywap> threexk: never mind! DVD playback is overrated! :)
[10:21] <DistroJockey> Ad84: Goto  System - Preferences - Appearance  and drop the theme.tar.gz file on the window that you get
[10:21] <Dr_willis_> threexk,  technically  i have payed for the license.. several 100 times over. :)
[10:21] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: It is a Toshiba Tecra S1. It has a really nice high-res screen too. :(
[10:21] <threexk> is the MP3 decoder also illegal in the US?
[10:21] <starz> bob yeah
[10:21] <starz> hm
[10:21] <starz> let me think for a bit
[10:21] <cgentry72> can someone help me... I can get openoffice to load.. it shows the splash screen but thats it
[10:22] <gordonjcp> threexk: no idea, I don't live in the US and could not be persuaded to even visit the place
[10:22] <cgentry72> i've tried to uninstall and reinstall it but nothing
[10:22] <lilywap> threexk: probably - but you get to play with guns so it's kinda fair :)
[10:22] <cgentry72> threexk, I don't blame you there
[10:22] <threexk> gordonjcp: same to your country, whichever European one it is
[10:22] <Jowi> threexk, fluendo.com is the place if you're unsure.
[10:22] <WalloO> I hate DVD companies... I've a lot of DVD from FRnace, with area2. Now I live in Canada. Officialy, I can't bring my DVD in Canada with me.. That's really stupid
[10:22] <gordonjcp> threexk: ;-)
[10:23] <Bob26> starz: sry i was disconnected
[10:23] <hyphenated> WalloO: um.. every dvd player I've ever owned has had an "unlock" built into it
[10:23] <Bob26> starz: thats when you told me to rename it isnt it? it shows Display: Nvidia
[10:23] <hazysoni1> looking for advice to get my screen res fixed so that I'm not looking at a small box inside a larger lcd.... Editing xorg.conf seems to have no effect and "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" just sets everything back to defaults (same prob)
[10:23] <Bob26> starz: thats when you told me to rename it isnt it? it shows Driver: Nvidia
[10:23] <threexk> Jowi: thanks
[10:23] <Ad84> that does not work
[10:23] <starz> bob yeah
[10:24] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, I'm really sorry for you. Does this computer use ati or nvidia card?
[10:24] <pukeko> when gusty "mounts" an audio cd on the desktop where is it actually mounted - i need the path
[10:24] <Jowi> threexk, https://shop.fluendo.com has got both mp3 and other decoders.
[10:24] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: it uses an ATI card
[10:25] <WalloO> hyphenated, I'm talking about the right and the law. Not about DVD lock. I use mythtv + projector for my dvd, so it's not a problem
[10:25] <tv7497> bazhang: how do i know my system is 32 bit or 64
[10:25] <starz> bob do you have anything nvidia in the system > administration area?
[10:25] <Bob26> starz: im unable to use the nvidia settings i donno why
[10:25] <threexk> Jowi: this site doesn't look legit
[10:25] <ForsakenSoul> hey does someone know how can I set up a second clock to show a different timezona
[10:25] <hazysoni1> any of you know where I should go to for help for this?
[10:25] <ForsakenSoul> timezone*
[10:25] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, do you want a xorg.conf example to enable TV output?
[10:25] <starz> threexk, what site
[10:25] <Jowi> threedee, fluendo is well known
[10:25] <MrWizeGuy> tv7497, did you install your ubuntu yourself?
[10:25] <Jowi> threexk, , fluendo is well known
[10:25] <tv7497> MrWizeGuy: yes sir long ago ....
[10:26] <starz> ForsakenSoul, add a location in preferences on the clock..
[10:26] <lilywap> OK, so update-manager doesn't work for upgrades - is there a log I can check?
[10:26] <threexk> starz: shop.fluendo.com
[10:26] <babo> what does this mail message mean ? is my server acting as a relay or not ?
[10:26] <MrWizeGuy> oh ok, try installing a 64 bit app
[10:26] <babo> Jun 21 04:39:24 ina postfix/qmgr[31045]: A2C69A4686: to=<daburkee78@park.funnel.revenuedirect.com.akadns.net>, relay=none, delay=151041, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to park.funnel.revenuedirect.com.akadns.net[69.25.47.164]: Connection timed out)
[10:26] <hyphenated> WalloO: well corporations obviously love the idea of regional pricing and artificially influence markets.. that's not news. the fact that they made it "legal" to operate that way also bothers me
[10:26] <MrWizeGuy> if it works, you got 64
[10:26] <ForsakenSoul> startz did that ... and it didn't chage
[10:26] <starz> oh
[10:26] <starz> threedee, i think they set that up for another distro
[10:27] <starz> ive seen that spot before
[10:27] <onats> anyone know what application i can use to get the status on the left side of this one: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2156/2485879661_cc2419421c_o.jpg
[10:27] <Bob26> starz: yes, u mean like Nvidia X server settings?
[10:27] <starz> Bob26, yeah
[10:27] <starz> try it
[10:27] <hazysoni1> Anyone know where I can ask for help on display driver for ubuntu?
[10:27] <WalloO> hyphenated, you know, when I will bring back I DVD I bought several years ago, I may be arrested at customs and my dvd destroyed. But I bought it officialy. That's crasy
[10:27] <ForsakenSoul> startz changed it ....
[10:27] <starz> !ask | hazysoni1
[10:27] <lore17> Hi, im trying to get wireless running on my macbook pro. I've installed the madwifi drivers but need help on how to bring my wireless interface up please
[10:27] <anoliss> how do i make a script wait for me to press enter before proceeding?
[10:27] <ForsakenSoul> ahh ... but it changed both of my clocks
[10:28] <starz> !wireless | lore17
[10:28] <starz> lol
[10:28] <tv7497> MrWizeGuy: sir arent there any command in terminal to check for 64 bit or 32
[10:28] <hyphenated> WalloO: hah. i brought back about 100 dvds from indonesia to new zealand, and at customs, the guy was looking through them, didn't do anything
[10:28] <starz> lore they peeps in here need more information - what kinda network, what kinda security, and what kinda hardware, and which distro version
[10:28] <Bob26> starz: i get an error when i open it but can still enter it. it says You do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver.
[10:28] <hyphenated> (they were looking for "illegal" content ie XXX stuff, not being piracy police)
[10:28] <starz> Bob26, good thats a start
[10:28] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: yeah, sure. Why? Do you think you can make mine work?
[10:28] <Jowi> anoliss, read -sn 1 (this waits for one keypress)
[10:29] <lilywap> ooh - I gotta go - kitchen on fire!
[10:29] <hyphenated> the customs guy even teased me about some of the chick flicks that I'd brought back for my friends :-)
[10:29] <WalloO> hyphenated, it's not the same area number indonesia and new zealand?
[10:29] <starz> Bob26, click on x server display configuration and make the screen size correct to what you want.then save to x configuration file button, and dont merge, just replace
[10:29] <anoliss> ty
[10:29] <Az> anyone else reverted back to Gutsy? ... ive just about given up on trying to fix sound problems in hardy, apart from sound issues my desktop is perfect :(
[10:29] <hazysoni1> k. My screen only allows 800x600 but it's a 1024x768 (laptop) display. It shows up as a smaller box with a black border around it. I can't figure out how to enable the full screen. I've tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.config with no luck.
[10:29] <lore17> im running xubuntu on a macbook pro, just installed yesterday. Im very new to linux in general. as for security i just installed the seurity updates
[10:29] <starz> then open a terminal and do: sudo modprobe nvidia and tell me if you get any errors so far
[10:29] <Bob26> starz: i had that error before as well though. Before i installed the nvidia-legacy
[10:30] <starz> Bob26, dont worry about it
[10:30] <hyphenated> WalloO: nope. NZ is region 4, Indonesia is region 3
[10:30] <Bob26> starz: ok ill try 1 sec
[10:30] <ozkelligirl> hi all
[10:30] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, I had a ati card plugged on a TV. I can provide you my xorg.conf file if it can help you. But you have to enable ati proprietary driver. Did you try ati video configuration software?
[10:31] <Jowi> anolis, if you wish to record the keypress you can do something similar to this: read -sn 1 KEYPRESS; echo $KEYPRESS
[10:31] <WalloO> hyphenated, I hope i will have no issue
[10:31] <ozkelligirl> hello hello hello
[10:31] <hazysoni1> it says "not used in xorg.config"
[10:32] <Az> quick survey... dapper / gutsy / hardy... which one are you running??
[10:32] <hazysoni1> hardy
[10:33] <ozkelligirl> what is the best site for down loading programs for ubuntu?
[10:33] <IndoRama> gutsy
[10:33] <WalloO> back... xchat is not stable... :)
[10:33] <Ademan> hey firefox likes to hog my sound, anyone familiar with this?
[10:34] <hazysoni1> ﻿My screen only allows 800x600 but it's a 1024x768 (laptop) display. It shows up as a smaller box with a black border around it. I can't figure out how to enable the full screen. I've tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.config  to add other resolutions with no luck. Anyone know about this?? Help appreciated.
[10:34] <Jowi> ozkelligirl, use the package manager. there are already a lot of programs available at one place.
[10:34] <Az> so thats 1 for hardy, 1 for gutsy... anyone else?? :)
[10:34] <Lunar_Lamp> ozkelligirl: you don't usually need to have a "site" for downloading programs for ubuntu, you can just go to applications>add/remove and search there :-)
[10:34] <Jowi> !synaptic | ozkelligirl
[10:34] <Az> busy in here today
[10:34] <starz> WalloO, says who
[10:34] <starz> and which version?
[10:34] <starz> mine is rock solid
[10:34] <Az> starz - what are you running?
[10:35] <starz> i just compiled 2.8.6 here at work
[10:35] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, are you here?
[10:35] <starz> and whatever's in the repos at home
[10:35] <starz> and i run around 70 channels on 7-8 networks
[10:35] <ozkelligirl> can someone help me?
[10:35] <MrWizeGuy> ozkelligirl, what do you need help with?
[10:35] <MrWizeGuy> i can try
[10:35] <pukeko> how can i cure this "Reading package lists... Done Segmentation faulty tree... 0%" ?
[10:35] <WalloO> ozkelligirl, ask your question first.
[10:36] <starz> http://b0at.tx0.org/xchat/addons/scripts/  <--- vert unoirtabt
[10:36] <ozkelligirl> what site is best for down loads for ubuntu?
[10:36] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: no. I was away feeding my cats.
[10:36] <starz> ozkelligirl, you mean to update your packages?
[10:36] <raboof> heh, the ubuntu wiki as 'Debugging sound problems' and 'Sound troubleshooting' pages which don't link to each other
[10:36] <MrWizeGuy> one sec ozkelligirl i have it bookmarked
[10:36] <ozkelligirl> yes
[10:36] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, do you see my dcc send?
[10:36] <Flannel> ozkelligirl: None.  Use the repositories.  Browse them with synaptic
[10:37] <MrWizeGuy> http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[10:37] <WalloO> ozkelligirl, depends on where you are.
[10:37] <hazysoni1> no takers? Ideas where I can find help?
[10:37] <starz> !mirrors
[10:37] <starz> hm
[10:37] <ozkelligirl> thanks Mr
[10:37] <MrWizeGuy> it's best to install things with the package manager or with synaptic ozkelligirl but you can install things from that site
[10:37] <WalloO> ozkelligirl, take a server near you
[10:37] <ozkelligirl> ok
[10:37] <starz> there's a list somewhere of repos ozkelligirl that are official, i would post in the forums asking ok?
[10:37] <starz> www.ubuntuforums.org
[10:37] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: can you send it again now?
[10:37] <Flannel> ozkelligirl: Read the wiki link that ubottu gave you about synaptic.
[10:38] <Flannel> starz: !mirrors has it
[10:38] <Bob26> starz: ok i tested it out, the screens coming out ok now, but before when it was working the text was clearer and it wasnt too bright. i also get a blur line on top of the video when i play them.
[10:38] <hazysoni1> tnx starz
[10:38] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, do you see the new dcc send?
[10:38] <ozkelligirl> thanks all
[10:38] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: I see it. it says "waiting for transfer to begin"
[10:38]  * MrWizeGuy is amazed that a girl uses linux and very impressed
[10:39] <Flannel> MrWizeGuy: There are plenty of women using Linux, don't be so naive.
[10:39] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, wait, I will put it on a web site
[10:39] <MrWizeGuy> i guess it's just around here
[10:39] <MrWizeGuy> i've told several how cool it was and i think their eyes almost rolled all the way back into their heads
[10:39] <MrWizeGuy> needless to say, they weren't interested
[10:39] <starz> Bob26, its a starting point
[10:40] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: I don't think DCC send is working in Pidgin
[10:40] <Dr_willis_> My wife uses Linux... but its just her using Vmware, to run windows98, so i can easially run  her 98 'setup' on various machines.
[10:40] <starz> now you can play with fonts, and cleartype or wahtever
[10:40] <CorpseFeeder> I will install XChat
[10:40] <starz> but it _IS_ using the nvidia now correct?
[10:40] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, use xchat, it's better for irc
[10:40] <raboof> doesn't the information at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems belong at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ instead?
[10:40] <starz> CorpseFeeder, pidgin is not that great for irc lol
[10:40] <Bob26> starz: yeh i think so
[10:40] <MrWizeGuy> that's cool, wish i had a girl that was geek enough to use linux
[10:40] <Flannel> raboof: Yes.
[10:41] <starz> MrWizeGuy, lol...
[10:41] <Bob26> starz: its not very easy on the eyes though
[10:41] <BlueLagun2> Hmm, by PCI Express graphics card was giving me problems so I decided to remove it and use the onboard graphics instead
[10:41] <elky> MrWizeGuy, i've told numerous guys how cool linux is and had the same reaction. it's certainly *not* a gender induced reaction
[10:41] <BlueLagun2> However, now X won't start
[10:41] <BlueLagun2> Is there away for it to autodetect the graphics driver again?
[10:41] <MrWizeGuy> hmmm, guess it's different by area
[10:42] <BlueLagun2> The LiveCD detects the driver
[10:42] <CorpseFeeder> Should I download the XChat-Gnome front end too?
[10:42] <Kitu> how to install konqueror flash plugin  ?
[10:42] <Kitu> please
[10:42] <Lunar_Lamp> CorpseFeeder: no, xchat-gnome is a totally different application (which many consider inferior)
[10:42] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, I prefer the normal xchat, not the gnome frontend.
[10:42] <raboof> Flannel: hrm, it contains a comment saying #### do not move or rename as the Ubuntu Bug Control team uses this page extensively ####
[10:42] <CorpseFeeder> ok. PLain Xchat is what I normally use anyway.
[10:43] <Flannel> raboof: Alright, then there must be some special circumstances.  There *is* an audio page in h.u.c
[10:43] <Flannel> !audio | raboof
[10:43] <raboof> Flannel: yes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[10:43] <lore17> when I run iwconfig the only interfaces that show up are lo and eth0, how do I go about bringng up my wireless interface?
[10:43] <starz> Kitu, typically that would be a #kubuntu thing
[10:43] <Kitu> ok
[10:44] <WalloO> lore17, use network manager applet
[10:45] <raboof> ubottu: actually, alsa doesn't work - it freezes any application that tries to make a sound though it
[10:45] <threexk> Jowi: you're right, Fluendo is legit.  Thanks for recommending them!  I'm going to use their free MP3 decoder
[10:45] <raboof> ow :)
[10:46] <Euphorysne_Eiren> ubotto: is a bot?
[10:47] <prodigel> WalloO: back. I'm running frontend on my backend machine and it's still slow, also I cannot see controls. left and right arrow seems to work but up/down(for channel switching) have no action
[10:47] <Baltazaar> ubotto is a bot
[10:47] <Baltazaar> It is the oracle
[10:47] <tenX> haha
[10:47] <tenX> yeah
[10:47] <Baltazaar> !ubotto
[10:47] <Euphorysne_Eiren> good one!
[10:48]  * SageLord sighs
[10:48] <SageLord> It would seem Grub has lost my Vista partition on its menu... could someone help me get it back?
[10:48] <CorpseFeeder> quick question - can someone remind me how to set xchat to automatically identify me to nickserv when I log in to freenode?
[10:49] <BlueLagun2> How do I redetect that graphics card in X?
[10:49] <Baltazaar> Oh... Thought it was a nightmare, but now it comes back to me... I'm being forced over to RHEL Desktop by company policy, for development... My Ubuntu does the job just as well... Stupid.
[10:49] <BlueLagun2> I took out my old one and now X won't start
[10:49] <raboof> ok, so https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems should describe how to file sound bugs, and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting should help you troubleshoot your problem yourself
[10:50] <Baltazaar> same tools :0
[10:50] <raboof> and they should link to each other
[10:50] <MrWizeGuy> CorpseFeeder, you can just go to servers and edit, add your nick and password there
[10:50] <BlueLagun2> *the graphics card
[10:50] <Flannel> SageLord: standard windows entry: title; root[noverify] hdx,x; makeactive; chainloader +1
[10:50] <raboof> does that sound reasonable?
[10:50] <MrWizeGuy> network list more specifically
[10:50] <SageLord> Flannel - How do I find out which HDX its on?
[10:50] <mario69> Hello there, just want to report a regression in Hardy. On Dell Latitude D820 it is now NOT possible to switch between LCD and CRT output (Fn+CRT/LCD key combination).
[10:50] <troxor> !nvidia
[10:50] <CorpseFeeder> MrWizeGuy, ah.. thanks
[10:51] <Flannel> SageLord: `sudo fdisk -l` (that's an L) will list partitions, check for an NTFS one.  And, also, (hdx,y) is the actual syntax.  parenthesis around the whole bit
[10:51] <jowy> how can i set a different port for a server in xchat?
[10:51] <SageLord> Flames - Thanks
[10:51] <asmo[B]> troxor: are you looking for nvidia drivers?
[10:51] <golb23> I just woke up, and noticed my pc had shut down, I want to know why, how do I locate the reason as to why it shut down?
[10:52] <Dr_willis_> golb23,  thunderstorms? power failure? :) those wont get logged.
[10:52] <Mo0oSaH> gnubie: could be overheating?
[10:52] <Dr_willis_> golb23,  in my house this week. its been the grandson pushing buttons on the   pc when no ones looking.
[10:52] <MrWizeGuy> Jowi,  you go to network list, edit on the server you want to change, then hit edit on the comand where it has the server and the /8001 or whatever it has
[10:52] <MrWizeGuy> jowy, *
[10:53] <tenX> Dr_willis_: hi *kneeling down*
[10:53] <golb23> Dr_willis_: lol nah no thunder storms or any kids near my setup :), I hope he didnt cause any severe damage with sudo ;)
[10:54] <CorpseFeeder> Does anyone here have a  Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] or know where to find proprietary drivers for same?
[10:54] <Dr_willis_> tenX,  Rise Phesant! :)
[10:55] <jowy> k, thanks, and how can i set my identd?
[10:55] <golb23> so anyone know where you can locate error messags, since my pc shut it self down for no reason when I woke up?
[10:55] <MrWizeGuy> identd?
[10:55] <tenX> jowy: edit /etc/xinetd.conf?
[10:56] <asmo[B]> CorpseFeeder: have you tried using envyng?
[10:56] <CorpseFeeder> asmo[B], using what? Is that a type of deodorant?
[10:56] <nisalome> i would like to ask something
[10:56] <asmo[B]> for installing ATI drivers
[10:57] <MrWizeGuy> i loved envyng
[10:57] <MrWizeGuy> it was great, installed my friend's ati drivers really well
[10:57] <BlueLagun2> Anyone know how to redetect my graphics card?
[10:57] <akhil_> I am not able to install pidgin 2.4 on my Ubuntu 7.10. It asks for a GLIB package which i have installed.
[10:57] <MrWizeGuy> BlueLagun2, is it an ati or nvidia?
[10:57] <CorpseFeeder> asmo[B], ok - where do I acquire this envy thingy from?
[10:57] <MrWizeGuy> if so, envyng is great
[10:58] <onats> i can't seem to change the them of my desktop. where do i go to do that?
[10:58] <MrWizeGuy> it's under system, preferences onats
[10:58] <onats> appearance?
[10:58] <akhil_> I am not able to install pidgin 2.4 on my Ubuntu 7.10. It asks for a GLIB package which i have installed. Anyone??
[10:58] <asmo[B]> CorpseFeeder:  sudo apt-get install envyng-core envyng-gtk
[10:59] <onats> what's a GDM theme? where do i install my downloaded theme?
[10:59] <FD_F> Hello i update to ubuntu 8 hardy on laptop R60e and Wifi not work anyone can help ? , thanks
[10:59] <akhil_> I had a similar problem installing Princeton wordnet
[10:59] <MrWizeGuy> yes appearance, sorry didn't see it
[11:00] <asmo[B]> CorpseFeeder: http://www.albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#A
[11:00] <MrWizeGuy> onats, that's how you change the theme, but where do you find new ones?
[11:00] <MrWizeGuy> is it gnomelook.org?
[11:00] <onats> yes
[11:01] <onats> that's where i am looking
[11:01] <CorpseFeeder> asmo[B], thank you. I will go see what it does... and how completely and utterly it can break my system ;)
[11:01] <CorpseFeeder> bye
[11:03] <Baltazaar> art.gnome.org, is a starting point
[11:03] <onats> what about the buttons? how do i install them automaticallty?
[11:04] <Baltazaar> onats: comes with the theme packs
[11:06] <Baltazaar> install gnome-art, and it does things for you automatically... download, preview, etc...
[11:06] <creature> Hello. What's the name of the restricted drivers program? The executable?
[11:07] <onats> it comes with the theme packs, but how do i install it?
[11:07] <julian2495322> Hey everyone. My IT guy worked on my laptop today and now my hard disk only reads 40gb instead of 80gb. how can i fix this?
[11:07] <Baltazaar> jockey-gtk
[11:08] <CorpseFeeder> asmo[B], it appears envyng won't work with my ATI card
[11:08] <Baltazaar> creature: jockey-gtk
[11:08] <Baltazaar> /usr/bin/jockey-gtk
[11:08] <asmo[B]> oh :\
[11:08] <asmo[B]> shitty
[11:09] <Bob24> starz: k thanks ill see how it goes
[11:09] <MrWizeGuy> julian2495322, it sounds like it might have been partitioned, did you check all the partitions?
[11:09] <creature> Baltazaar: That's great, thanks.
[11:09] <maui> can someone advice me on what to do if there is an interface mssing?
[11:09] <asmo[B]> CorpseFeeder: sorry man, that's all I've got... still just learning myself
[11:09] <Knightly88> Anyone have a suggestion for a good FTP program? Thanks.
[11:09] <maui> my board does have 2 gigabit ports but all i get is eth0 :(
[11:09] <Baltazaar> maui: like what kind of interface?
[11:10] <maui> something like eth1 ;)
[11:10] <Az> julian - or maybe he put in a Smaller new drive :p
[11:10] <Knightly88> hey Maui... you in Maui?
[11:10] <tenX> Knightly88: i used to stick to gftp - on my gentoo installation it keeps crashing though :(
[11:10] <Baltazaar> maui: on the same nic?
[11:10] <maui> its an s3210shlx server board
[11:10] <MrWizeGuy> nice one Az, hope not though lol
[11:10] <maui> now i am in germany ;)
[11:10] <maui> dont know if its actually the same nic, both are mobo lan ports
[11:10] <tenX> maui: where exactly?
[11:11] <maui> aachen
[11:11] <Knightly88> funny... I'm actually on Maui ;)
[11:11] <CorpseFeeder> asmo[B], yeah.. it just says "your card is supported by the legacy driver" then immediately after it says "your card is not supported by the legacy driver" - it seems to be retarded.
[11:11] <tenX> maui: ah :) took part in security course at rwth last year
[11:11] <Baltazaar> maui: what happens if you plug in to port 2, does it live?
[11:11] <maui> yes it does lighten up the port on my switch
[11:12] <maui> tenX: cool, i am studying cs at rwth
[11:12] <julian2495322> thats what I think too. I have some "unnallocated space"
[11:12] <tenX> maui: cs? counterstrike?
[11:12] <maui> computer science
[11:12] <MrWizeGuy> are you looking at gparted julian2495322 ?
[11:12] <julian2495322> no. Linux Reader
[11:12] <Baltazaar> and ifconfig still just lists eth1, maui?
[11:12] <Baltazaar> eth0
[11:13] <maui> jep just eth0
[11:13] <MrWizeGuy> i'm not familiar
[11:13] <jimcooncat> is there a visual program to throttle bandwidth of individual apps?
[11:13] <maui> jep just eth0 /etc/network/interfaces
[11:13] <Silex> is there a place that provides packages with the newest versions of softwares?
[11:13] <jimcooncat> I'm tired of flash hogging the connection
[11:14] <Silex> some kind of HEAD repository :)
[11:14] <julian2495322> i know what i have to do
[11:14] <julian2495322> thanks for your help
[11:15] <troxor> asmo[B]: nah, just forgot the link.. thanks though :)
[11:15] <unop> Silex, you could do what is done in debian and backport packages from intrepid to hardy - add the source repos for intrepid to sources.list and compile the new versions of packages you need
[11:15] <Az> julian - sudo fdisk -l
[11:15] <rothchild> hi I'm trying to set up twinview with my nvidia 5200fx how do I get the screen the right shape and size out of the svideo which I have plugged in to my tv?
[11:15] <Silex> unop: ok, will look into that
[11:16] <Silex> my package should show up on packages.ubuntu.com tho right?
[11:16] <Silex> (for intreptid)
[11:16] <Silex> s/pt/p/
[11:16] <unop> Silex, only if you have added the intrepid deb-src repos tho
[11:16] <thyko> whats the best optical disc writting software right now?
[11:16] <rothchild> the nvidia xservers tool appears to only be marginly useful (although I might just not be using it right! ;-)
[11:16] <Silex> unop: no, I mean http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[11:16] <Silex> there's a search
[11:17] <Silex> I try to find a package for ghc6 for 6.8.3, there's only 6.8.2
[11:17] <thyko> anyone?
[11:17] <unop> Silex, and even then, intrepid's source repos might not contain bleeding edge versions of packages .. in that case you could compile from the actual maintainers tarball, but intrepid's source has a higher chance of working right/properly
[11:17] <akhil_> I am not able to install pidgin 2.4 on my Ubuntu 7.10. It asks for a GLIB package which i have installed. Anyone??
[11:18] <unop> Silex, right, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ should have them if they are available for intrepid
[11:18] <Silex> unop: okay that's what I thought... thanks
[11:18] <Silex> it's a shame no 3rd party repo is there with bleeding edge packages
[11:18] <thyko> anyone write cds here?
[11:19] <unop> Silex, there are the ubuntu PPA repos which private individuals maintain .. you might find some newer compiled binaries there
[11:19] <thyko> :/

[11:25] <starz> !ask
[11:25] <greenland> don't ban stevo
[11:25] <thyko> Starbucks: bring it
[11:25] <greenland> pleae unban stevo
[11:25] <greenland> please unban stevo
[11:25] <WalloO> Starbucks, this is a help forum. Nobody can ask for help.
[11:25] <elky> greenland, starz, please keep this channel clear for support questions
[11:25] <Flannel> greenland: take it to #ubuntu-ops
[11:25] <Starbucks> ok
[11:25] <starz> greenland, thats what happens when you use !ops too much and lightly
[11:25] <greenland> what a fuck ?
[11:26] <WalloO> Starbucks, ask your question first.....
[11:26] <starz> elky, i'm not even close to offtopic, chill.
[11:26] <Starbucks> Well im considering duel booting Ubuntu with vista its downloading at the moment, I just want to knonw the benefits I will gain/lose with Ubuntu please.
[11:26] <julio_neto> =/
[11:26] <julio_neto> Starbucks, A lot of things.
[11:26] <starz> Starbucks, you can certainly dual boot. it will probably run much faster, and quite frankly compiz-fusion is way better than aero.
[11:26] <julio_neto> Starbucks, what do you do with your computer?
[11:26] <Starbucks> ?
[11:27] <WalloO> Starbucks, hmmmm... personnaly, I've both ubuntu and vista, and I used vista only for games I can't run on ubuntu using wine.
[11:27] <starz> there are far fewer viruses, and the popup that asks for permission to do things actually only comes up at a reasonable pace.
[11:27] <Starbucks> Play games like Wurm online (java I think) and runescape and crysis and things but also for general use like school work.
[11:27] <elky> starz, 'super stupid' was rather offtopic.
[11:27] <julio_neto> Starbucks, hmmm
[11:27] <Starbucks> ok so I should duel boot then wallo0?
[11:28] <akhil_> I am not able to install pidgin 2.4 on my Ubuntu 7.10. It asks for a GLIB package which i have installed. Anyone??
[11:28] <Mo0oSaH> Starbucks: imho, you should always dual boot if you have to ask that question
[11:28] <WalloO> Starbucks, I use vista for crysis. all the rest, even playin Counter-strike source work with linux
[11:28] <starz> elky, i was answering a question, and we  both know that the occational line here and there means nothing. as i was refering to myself i wasnt breaking any of the 'traditions' or whatnot, and it was perfectly family ok / work safe. chill.
[11:28] <Starnestommy> akhil_: how are you trying to install it?
[11:28] <WalloO> Starbucks, ho. I forgot to say i use vista to configure my Harmony remote.
[11:28] <tenX> Starbucks: using debian/ubuntu you have easy remote access guaranteed considering the latest security flaws
[11:28] <akhil_> Starnestommy, compling its source..
[11:28] <babo> when i set my mail server to forward mail from my domain to my email address, the mail server fills the Reply-To: header with an obsolete email address ...
[11:29] <Starbucks> wallo0 ok
[11:29] <Starnestommy> akhil_: did you get the right -dev packages for glib?
[11:29] <starz> tenX, actually running a simple update kills the ssh flaws.
[11:29] <Sandrone> ciao sandrone vi saluta
[11:29] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes, dualboot is a good solution
[11:29] <greenland> sTeVo hello
[11:29] <Flannel> !prevu | akhil_
[11:29] <tenX> starz: of course, but it was a true desaster :(
[11:29] <Sandrone> !list
[11:29] <akhil_> Starnestommy, Yes.. i installed libglib-dev
[11:29] <Starbucks> Are there any benefits to having a duel boot however instead of just vista
[11:29] <Flannel> !it | Sandrone
[11:29] <starz> tenX, not that bad actually, you would be surprised how few systems i saw get effected by that.
[11:29] <Starnestommy> akhil_: what about libglib2.0-dev?
[11:30] <Starbucks> Also I love the dreamscene feature on vista is there this feature on ubuntu please?
[11:30] <starz> Flannel, u chill with that buttonz too
[11:30] <WalloO> Starbucks, I use two disk one big for ubuntu and a smaller for Vista. When ubuntu run, I stop the vista disk to make my system noiseless
[11:30] <starz> oh nvm i read it wrong.... sowwie
[11:30] <starz> Starbucks, i quad boot.
[11:30] <Sandrone> sorry
[11:30] <WalloO> Starbucks, what is dreamscene?
[11:30] <Starbucks> wallo0 oh ok well I only have one disc so I think thats not going to be much of a problem
[11:30] <Sandrone> bye bood proseguiment
[11:30] <starz> hardy/gnome, xp, vista, hardy/kde4
[11:30] <akhil_> Starnestommy, I am installing that now
[11:30] <Starbucks> dreamscene is a video for the background
[11:30] <Sandrone> i non speeak inglish
[11:30] <Seras_Ubuntu> Hey, I'm a bit new to Ubuntu, and I've a quick question. I've got a USB thumb drive. Now, I'd delted all the files on it, my windows machine will read it as empty, but Ubuntu is still seeing it as full (no files) am I supposed to do somthing other than just delete the files?
[11:31] <tenX> starz: i didnt actually check any all of my the twenty systmes i was responsible for but recreated keys for ssh and espcecially ovpn
[11:31] <Flannel> Sandrone: /join #ubuntu-it
[11:31] <Knightly88> Anyone have a suggestion for a good FTP program?
[11:31] <wols_> !it | sanity
[11:31] <WalloO> Starbucks, hmmm don't know... just a second...
[11:31] <starz> tenX, i work at a datacenter.... about 7k systems... a third affected.....
[11:31] <tenX> heaven knows your mother lies!
[11:31] <akhil_> Starnestommy, Well now ./configure asks for GTK dev packages..
[11:31] <Starbucks> wallo0 ok
[11:31] <Mo0oSaH> Ubuntu runs significantly hotter on my computer than Vista, are there any measurements I could take to cool it down a bit?
[11:31] <wols_> akhil_: pidgin is in ubuntu
[11:31] <starz> akhil_, what are you tryuing to comiple?
[11:31] <tenX> starz: but did you check for the systems being affected?
[11:31] <JustinChuTw> Hello, everybody.  I am new to Ubuntu and hope that someone can help me with this problem that I am having once every so often.  Sometimes when I start Ubuntu 8.04, the computer freezes (stops functioning) after the desktop and both the Panels at the top and bottom of the screen appear.  The "User Name" and the Clock which should appear on the right side of the top Panel next to the "Shut Down" icon is missing and nothing happens wh
[11:32] <Starnestommy> akhil_: did you install libgtk2.0-dev?
[11:32] <starz> tenX, yeah
[11:32] <akhil_> starz, pidgin
[11:32] <Starbucks> Im just asking because at the moment im not seeing much of a need for ubuntu I just was interested if it gave any benefits to vista other than security..
[11:32] <tenX> starz: how?
[11:32] <wols_> Mo0oSaH: dunno if it's in ubuntu but powertop could be a way
[11:32] <starz> akhil_, is there some special feature you need?
[11:32] <starz> tenX, we have a forensic's team
[11:32] <akhil_> Starnestommy, no i guess. I did not know the package name..
[11:32] <wols_> !info pidgin
[11:32] <tenX> starz: and what did they do?
[11:32] <starz> akhil_, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pidgin pidgin-otr
[11:33] <starz> tenX, couple mitm's was about it
[11:33] <WalloO> Starbucks, take a look at that: http://youtube.com/watch?v=E4Fbk52Mk1w
[11:33] <druggy_> any idea on how to uninstall white cursors in ubuntu? im running already custom xinitrc, but that one still puzzles me
[11:33] <starz> i would say i see centos owned much more.
[11:33] <akhil_> starz, I am compiling the source as it is now. Though i thought i'd make some changes.
[11:33] <starz> though it was quite a hassle updating certs.
[11:33] <starz> akhil_, then: sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin
[11:33] <Mo0oSaH> wols_: that looks interesting, will check it out
[11:33] <wols_> akhil_: then use the ubuntu source package
[11:33] <Flannel> Starbucks: It'll run faster, quite a few people find it more productive, etc.  You get automatic updates of all of your software at the push of a button, a vast catalog of software to choose from (and install safely, again, at the touch of a button)
[11:33] <akhil_> starz, What does that do?
[11:34] <tenX> starz: being aware of the incompleteness of tools i preferred recreating any keys and certs..
[11:34] <starz> akhil_, gets you everything you need to compile it. wols_ there is very trusty ;)
[11:34] <Flannel> akhil_: Check out prevu, it'll grab the version from Hardy (or intrepid) and compile it into a personal deb for you (it, and any libs you may need)
[11:34] <akhil_> Flannel, Thanks
[11:34] <dalhoom> hey guys, need help with nvidia and Hardy real bad!!
[11:34] <starz> tenX, yes - and i'm sure many had to get 'recertified' from the ca- people
[11:34] <wols_> starz: if he compiles from source he has a program outside the package management. that's bad. especially when there is no need for it
[11:34] <Starbucks> wallo0 ok flannel: ok well Ill try it out and see if I like it
[11:34] <gordonjcp> !ask | dalhoom
[11:34] <starz> hi dalhoom
[11:34] <julio_neto> where can I find a guide for new users? A guide about soft open-source and things like it?
[11:35] <tenX> starz: i sell linux as a security plus and got disappointed in a way customers couldnt even estimate
[11:35] <starz> wols_, thats why i asked why he was doing so -
[11:35] <WalloO> Starbucks, in fact, with ubuntu, there are a lot of very useful free software you can't find for vista, and you can do many good things very easily
[11:35] <Flannel> julio_neto: https://help.ubuntu.com/
[11:35] <starz> tenX, agreed.
[11:35] <Starbucks> wallo0 cube! :)
[11:35] <Mo0oSaH> Starbucks: like Flannel said, best thing I love about Ubuntu is the free software!  Theres a 106 page long thread on ubuntuforums.org where people are just talking about cool software they use that others might not know of
[11:35] <julio_neto> Flames, are you sure
[11:35] <starz> but tenX blame #debian not #ubuntu
[11:35] <julio_neto> ?
[11:35] <Starbucks> really?
[11:35] <wols_> starz: so was i. but he insisted on compiling and a few changes. in whcih case: ubuntu source package
[11:35] <tenX> starz: it was an overkill
[11:35] <Flannel> julio_neto: Thats a guide for new users, yes.
[11:35] <WalloO> Starbucks, and there are many other things.... watch the whole video
[11:35] <tenX> starz: a desaster :(
[11:36] <starz> wols_, there's always svn... :P just depends on how bleeding edge one wants to go.
[11:36] <Starbucks> do all the things I see on that video wallo0 come with ubuntu?!
[11:36] <Knightly88> I have LFTP installed on my Ubuntu System however I can't find any files to open the program... anyone know of the link/file name? or does this program run in the terminal?
[11:36] <starz> wols_, i do xchat, mplayer, vlc, from scratch, the rest from repos
[11:36] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes... If you like to learn things, this is pretty cool. The more you will understand linux, the more you will understand Windows
[11:36] <starz> oh and ffmpeg and x264
[11:36] <Mo0oSaH> Starbucks: either they come with it or you can get them easily at no cost guaranteed!
[11:36] <rubydiamond> hi ppl
[11:36] <dalhoom> ok, the message ' your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly' keeps poping every time I reboot, and I get low resolution and no desktop effects
[11:37] <starz> wols_, frankly someone should port ports over to ubuntu. i want ebuilds.
[11:37] <Mo0oSaH> Starbucks: well it depends on how you define easily
[11:37] <Mo0oSaH> lol
[11:37] <wols_> starz: it would go against the design, intent and purpose of ubuntu
[11:37] <starz> dalhoom, which card model do you have exactly?
[11:37] <starz> wols_, and it would go right with choice.
[11:37] <Starbucks> I didn't say easily at all did I?!
[11:37] <wols_> it might work for debian but only might
[11:37] <dalhoom> geforce go 7400
[11:38] <Mo0oSaH> Starbucks: I did :)
[11:38] <Starbucks> :P Sounds good though I like the cube effect...will it all work with my hardware?
[11:38] <Starbucks> Mo0o oh ok :P
[11:38] <Flannel> starz: There are other distros that have similar goals, you may wish to look into them
[11:38] <wols_> dalhoom: what videodriver?
[11:38] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes, in fact, unbuntu include thousand of software you can install from a single interface. this is conpiz-fusion. It'S installed by default, but you need to enable extra effect in the configuration panel, and install compiz-manager to finetune. But everything is done from ubuntu software manager. don't have to look around on several web sites
[11:38] <starz> Flannel, been there, spun that. i want the best of both worlds.
[11:38] <Starbucks> wallo0 can I disable certain features I don't want...?
[11:38] <dalhoom> glx-new I guess
[11:38] <Starbucks> wallo0 ok
[11:39] <wols_> dalhoom: that's no driver
[11:39] <Jambon> hello. I've been having this issue. See when I switch resolution up from 1024.768 the top panel won't go over to the edge of the screen. It only goes over 1024 pixels and the rest is dead space. this quirk would be ok, if it didn't wreak havoc with the video players. totem shows only black until you drag the window past the end of the panel, and vlc won't fullscreen properly
[11:39] <Starbucks> wallo0 so its pretty simple to use then
[11:39] <wols_> and if you "guess" you don't even know
[11:39] <WalloO> Starbucks, you can configure everything, that'S fun.
[11:39] <WalloO> Starbucks, for example, my desktop look like a macosx one, but I can make it look like vista, etc...
[11:39] <starz> Jambon, you are on vga connection?
[11:39] <Starbucks> wallo0 cool!
[11:40] <dalhoom> sorry, nvidia-glx-new
[11:40] <Jambon> starz: I believe so
[11:40] <generic> hi all any one works on opensc and openct
[11:40] <generic> ?
[11:40] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes, simple, and on ubuntu website forum, you will find the answer to 99% of your questions
[11:40] <Rocko> yay :) i got my vnc working from my Windows machine to my ubntu machine
[11:40] <Rocko> :P
[11:40] <Starbucks> So tell me...Could I have aero looking window panes and then have the cube effect and things and the other effects like wobbly windows aswell then?
[11:40] <Jambon> starz: yes, actually.
[11:40] <starz> Jambon, xrandr |grep current
[11:40] <jmazaredo> is it safe to change smtp banner to whatever word or sentence?
[11:40] <WalloO> Starbucks, at the beginning, you will have to look at what software you like and do what you want, but after that, it works smoothly.
[11:41] <Jambon> starz: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 864, maximum 1280 x 1200
[11:41] <Starbucks> wallo0 ok cool...and what is this wine program you were talking about? Does it run windows programs?
[11:41] <the-herby> does anyone know why the fonts:/// location isnt working in hardy gnome?
[11:41] <dalhoom> everything was working fine in gutsy, after hardy upgrade it got missed up
[11:41] <WalloO> Starbucks, my girlfriend knows nothing about computers. I set an account on my linux box for her, and she never asked me a question.
[11:41] <rubydiamond> dalhoom: what happened
[11:41] <starz> dalhoom, i'm not very familiar with that card
[11:41] <rubydiamond> I just installed gutsy on my work machine
[11:42] <Starbucks> wallo0 so its pretty simple to learn then?
[11:42] <julio_neto> Starbucks, do me a favor, please. Start tipping my name and press TAB key. After press enter.
[11:42] <starz> Jambon, do the resolution thing, and tell me what refresh are you at?
[11:42] <dalhoom> it came with dells laptop xps m1210
[11:42] <Starbucks> julio_neto
[11:42] <starz> and also Jambon does it give you a drop down to change refresh rate
[11:42] <Starbucks> ooo nice :)
[11:42] <Jambon> starz: though in preferences the screen resolution manager says I'm at 1152x864@75hz
[11:42] <WalloO> Starbucks, wine allows you to run windows programs in linux like word, counter-strike, etc...
[11:42] <Starbucks> WalloO: So I could run my games then?
[11:43] <Flannel> Starbucks: Depends on the game
[11:43] <starz> Jambon, try messing with preferences screen resolution
[11:43] <julio_neto> Starbucks, do it when you wanna talk directly to somebody
[11:43] <Starbucks> Flannel: Well like the sims games and spore and things?
[11:43] <dalhoom> does it have anything to do with the kernel type or sth?
[11:43] <Jambon> starz: just the resolution or refresh rate too?
[11:43] <WalloO> Starbucks, not all games, but some of them yes... for more information, look at www.winehq.org, there is a software compâtibility list
[11:43] <starz> dalhoom, sth ?
[11:43] <Starbucks> julio_neto: Yeah ok trying to now :)
[11:43] <starz> Jambon, all of that
[11:44] <Starbucks> WalloO: ok
[11:44] <starz> and compair if it matches to what xrandr is telling you
[11:44] <julio_neto> Starbucks, perfect
[11:44] <dalhoom> headers and stuff, I'm a newbie to linux
[11:44] <starz> dalhoom, uname -a
[11:44] <Starbucks> julio_neto: Im getting quite excited about my new operating system xD and is it always going to be free by the way?
[11:44] <WalloO> Starbucks, most of the time, the problem with games is the "copy protection" which doesn't work perfectely with wine
[11:44] <eraldo> wasn't there a shortcut for ls -<list dirs before files>
[11:44] <dalhoom> Linux sami-laptop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 4 16:35:01 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:44] <Starbucks> WalloO: Ahhh ok...
[11:45] <anto>  /join #zftalk
[11:45] <WalloO> Starbucks, it's double free... free of charge and free like open (open source)
[11:45] <julio_neto> Starbucks, I think so
[11:45] <Starbucks> WalloO: Are there any games like the sims on linux then? I presume you have games made for linux right?
[11:45] <Starbucks> WalloO: Nice one
[11:45] <julio_neto> Starbucks, Ubuntu is free, always will be.
[11:45] <starz> anto, you can get the / to show by using two of them:
[11:45] <julio_neto> thus like Linux
[11:45] <starz> /something goes here
[11:45] <Starbucks> julio_neto:Cool
[11:46] <Jambon> starz: I only have one option at 1152 (75Hz) and 1280(60hz). in both the top bar only goes 1024 over then stops. restarting or making new bars doesn't change this behavior
[11:46] <elky> Starbucks, linux has been free and free for longer than the live of most people in this channel
[11:46] <anto> starz, i was changing channel
[11:46] <LinuxHelp> What are the rules for the non-free repository? Does the program have to have source code available to be included?
[11:46] <starz> Jambon, what video card/drivers?
[11:46] <Starbucks> elky: :O cool so it will never be charged for?
[11:46] <starz> anto, oh, lol
[11:46] <WalloO> Starbucks, there are several games. You will find a list in the software install interface, but games is not the best thing for linux. However, you have Quake3 clone games (openarena)
[11:46] <julio_neto> elky, isn't  would be better say will be free for ever?
[11:46] <starz> !free
[11:46] <Mo0oSaH> LinuxHelp: I think non-free means that the source code is not available
[11:47] <dbmoodb_> elky: when was linux never free ?
[11:47] <Starbucks> WalloO: Howcome there not the best for linux?
[11:47] <Rocko> How do i kill the vncviewer session that is connected to my ubuntu machine ?
[11:47] <dalhoom> in the upgrade process it asked me if I wanted to keep the old one (2.6.22.15) and I did, but changed to this new because I thought this may be the cause of the problem
[11:47] <elky> dbmoodb_, when was mount everest not the tallest mountain?
[11:47] <StooJ> I need some advice on where to look for help. My gran is struggling with her computer these days because of poor eyesight. I'd like to work on some kind of high-visibility uber-simple gnome desktop and let her use that. Anyone know where I should go to find help?
[11:47] <starz> Mo0oSaH, see above free link.. free as in speach, and free as in beer.
[11:47] <Starbucks> WalloO: Will java games like runescape and wurmonline work with ubuntu?
[11:47] <dbmoodb_> elky: those are not equal
[11:47] <starz> StooJ, your in luck
[11:47] <dbmoodb_> linux to my knowledge was always been free
[11:47] <starz> gran is using gnome ?
[11:47] <Mo0oSaH> starz: yes...
[11:47] <dalhoom> tried to use envy but did not work either
[11:47] <StooJ> starz - not yet, but she will be
[11:47] <Starbucks> WalloO I really must go get some breakfast in a minute I will continue this conversation afterwards if you still online :) thanks for all your help by the way.
[11:47] <starz> Mo0oSaH, and typically yeah
[11:48] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes. You can install java 5 and java 6 from sun
[11:48] <dbmoodb_> except before its release perhaps
[11:48] <starz> StooJ, in the repository's accessable via add/remove or synaptic are high contrast themes.
[11:48] <Starbucks> wallo: Will it be installed automatically when I install ubuntu? :S
[11:48] <Jambon> starz: ati mobility 9200.
[11:48] <starz> also right click on desktop, do change desktop background, click on font tab, go advanced, and change dpi as needed
[11:48] <WalloO> Starbucks, no, but you can install it from the software manager called synaptic
[11:48] <starz> Jambon, might be you need a better driver.
[11:48] <starz> !ati
[11:49] <dalhoom> and I downloaded the new driver from nvidia site and complied it, but it failed because the gcc 4.1 is not compatible with gcc 4.2
[11:49] <Ven]n> whats the default text editor in ubuntu? gedit?
[11:49] <Starbucks> two last questions open to anyone is will my 8500GT work with the graphics there...1GB ram...and is there a good search feature like windows has?
[11:49] <Ven]n> xfce uses mousepad
[11:49] <WalloO> Starbucks, this is synaptic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[11:49] <Starnestommy> Ven]n: I think ubuntu's default is gedit
[11:49] <dbmoodb_> Starbucks: yes trackerd is good
[11:49] <StooJ> starz - yep, been looking at them but it's not really what I'm wanting.
[11:49] <Starbucks> WalloO: Synaptic right ill remeber that thanks :)
[11:49] <Ven]n> Starnestommy: ok.. i just found it a bit heavy
[11:50] <glick> hey whats the difference between hybernate and standby on laptops?
[11:50] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes for all. I use a 8800GT and it works pretty well... :)
[11:50] <StooJ> starz - it's a start, but I'm thinking more along the lines of bigger icons, bigger fonts for tooltips etc etc
[11:50] <Mo0oSaH> glick: hibernate saves the contents of memory to hard drive and powers off completely.  Standby just puts your system in low power state
[11:50] <WalloO> Starbucks, just enable nvidia driver when ubuntu will talk you about that.
[11:50] <Starbucks> WalloO: Pretty well? So it might not work that good then?
[11:50] <Starbucks> WalloO: ok
[11:51] <dbmoodb_> glick: one powers the computer down and turns off minus keeping things in ram, the other saves what was in ram to the disk and then turns off. there is also the option on linux to suspend to both.
[11:51] <starz> StooJ, also turn down resolution i suppose,..
[11:51] <WalloO> Starbucks, there is no reason. I use my 8800GT with dual screen... It works perfectely

[11:59] <kenny> tenx, i'm very new. don understand
[12:00] <orphean> CorpseFeeder: xserver-xorg-driver-radeon for the foss driver or xorg-driver-fglrx for the binary.
[12:00] <tenX> kenny: me neither
[12:00] <LinuxHelp> http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/licensing I read this, and the way I understand it, the restricted component allows the inclusion of closed-source freeware. How would I add my application to the restricted component?
[12:00] <Kitu> but kon kerror is more compatible for IE7 webpage
[12:00] <WalloO> Kitu, I just saw your message about your need to test your site with another browser than firefox. I expected it was IE
[12:00] <Kitu> IE7 optimized webpages*
[12:01] <tenX> Kitu: wow
[12:01] <Kitu> WalloO, my problem is konqueror

[12:18] <CorpseFeeder> Help! I uninstalled the non-working envyng driver... now my screen res is locked at 640x480. How do I make it restore the driver originally used when Ubuntu was installed?
[12:18] <starz> [03:56] <orphean> CorpseFeeder: uninstall in envy then reinstall the card driver from the repo.
[12:18] <orphean> blumm: Open a nautilus window then go to Edit->Preferences  In the 'Views' tab change Default Zoom Level under Icon View Defaults to 67%
[12:19] <SyncMaster213> starz that post on ubuntuforums was started by me - it doesn't reveal the location of the file
[12:19] <SyncMaster213> starz but thank you anyway
[12:19] <gordonjcp> CorpseFeeder: you're going to need a young priest and an old priest, and maybe some candles
[12:19] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: What exactly are you trying to do?
[12:19] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: or, to put it another way, rather than focusing on trying to find a specific app to solve a problem, how about describing the problem you're trying to solve?
[12:20] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I'm trying to download videos from youtube - I've used several tools that I don't like and I used to have Capture 'n Convert
[12:20] <orphean> blumm: actually i lied. apparently that box doesn't have 67%. sigh
[12:20] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I know it's on sourceforge but I can't seem to find it
[12:20] <CorpseFeeder> starz orphean : I don't know where the original driver from the repo is. I searched ATI radeon and installed the thing which came up, and that is what locked my res to 640x480
[12:20] <blumm> orphean: :D
[12:20] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: it was a great tool
[12:20] <blumm> orphean: theres 75% and 50%
[12:20] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I'm aware of all the other tools that you can find via google like converttube so please don't post them
[12:21] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: there is absolutely nothing called "Capture 'n Convert" on sf.net
[12:21] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: are you sure you've got the right name?
[12:21] <blumm> orphean: 50% is better too, thanks
[12:21] <Tallken> SyncMaster213: LOL, you can always grab the video at your /tmp ;)
[12:21] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I can also pull the files from the firefox cache but I just liked the features and organisation of capture 'n convert
[12:21] <orphean> blumm: i just checked in gconf and there's no way to make it be default for values other than those, so i'm glad you're happy w/ 50% :)
[12:22] <orphean> CorpseFeeder: try the fglrx driver
[12:22] <blumm> orphean: thanks
[12:22] <blumm> in rhythmbox, how can i remove an album in the library? delete or right-click dont work?!
[12:22] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: wouldn't be "youtubecatcher" would it?
[12:22] <CorpseFeeder> orphean, ok.
[12:22] <orphean> CorpseFeeder: xorg-driver-fglrx
[12:23] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I'll take a look at the program
[12:23] <darius_> Hi, maybe somebody know how solve “cups-missing-filter” problem? I have this problem on my desktop with ubuntu 8.04 and canon pixma mp160 printer. On notebook with some version of ubuntu this printer work perfect, only one difference than desktop upgraded from 7.10, notebook have fresh install. Solution provided in forum with “sudo aa-complain cupsd” command doesn't help. Sorry for my english, this is not my native language :)
[12:23] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I've received several other options and suggestions but I just really liked the program and I re-imaged my lapper and didn't keep the program
[12:23] <starz> ok i found it
[12:23] <starz> SyncMaster213, think i got it
[12:23] <Dr_willis_> darius,  i belive there are some cups ppd packages not installed by default. CHeck thepackage manager and install any that are not installed?
[12:23] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: from the command prompt the program was executed by using the command "cac"
[12:23] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: there's always something you foreget to back up
[12:23] <gordonjcp> *forget
[12:24] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: so true
[12:24] <SyncMaster213> starz: where did you find it ?

[12:26] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: please let this be a lesson to you to never speak in absolutes: "<gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: there is absolutely nothing called "Capture 'n Convert" on sf.net"
[12:26] <starz> darkangel42, easiest way is to look in ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs
[12:26] <darkangel42> thank you
[12:26] <starz> if you have logging on then you can see the channels youve been to, otherwise you need to try a channel list, np

[12:27] <darkangel42> ok

[12:27] <naught101> is there any way to download a streaming .asx file for offline viewing in ubuntu?

[12:27] <linny> hey all does anyone know if its possible to telnet from ubuntu to a windows server if so how ?
[12:27] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: it was called something else
[12:27] <Dr_willis_> naught101,  theres some 'streamripper' tool ive used befor.
[12:27] <orphean> linny: the windows server would need a telnet server installed.
[12:27] <starz> lol thanx SyncMaster213 .. its all good.. i'm going to have to give that little bugger a run
[12:28] <jsnt_99> i have problem with my key board configuration any body can help me
[12:28] <orphean> linny: most likely what you want is ssh however... in which case it needs an ssh server installed ;)
[12:28] <linny> it has but i get a protocol mismatch
[12:28] <starz> jsnt_99, oh?
[12:28] <blumm> orphean: is there any option in nautilus to set the view like in the active window?
[12:28] <orphean> blumm: not quite sure what you mean
[12:28] <naught101> Dr_willis_: for video as well?
[12:29] <jsnt_99> hi
[12:29] <blumm> orphean: i want to set all folders to 50% now but nautilus remembers my old 67% settings and i dont want to change it in every single folder
[12:29] <starz> jsnt_99, if your in gnome try: system > preferences > keyboard preferences "layouts" tab
[12:29] <Dr_willis_> naught101,  i used the tools to rip video from some shoutcast streams to play offline. I dont rember the name of the prog.
[12:29] <naught101> ok
[12:30] <jrib> blumm: edit preferences -> defaul zoom level   does not work?
[12:30] <orphean> jrib: it works but nautilus remembers the settings on a per window basis. so new windows will come with the default.
[12:30] <blumm> jrib: it does but when i go to a folder where i changed it before to 67% it wont change to 50%
[12:30] <blumm> orphean: exactly
[12:30] <orphean> blumm: i can't think of a good way other than deleting your nautilus settings folders.
[12:31] <starz> DistroJockey, didnt know about that notebook one, genious
[12:31] <IndoRama> which one you think is the coolest free game on Ununtu ?
[12:31] <golb23> DistroJockey: yeah exactly like that but google doesnt support opera, so i cant write anything
[12:31] <CorpseFeeder> orphean, that didn't work. I am still stuck in 640x480 mode
[12:31] <jrib> orphean: oh, I see.  It is remembering the ones you changed, so you want to delete wherever it is storing that info?
[12:31] <linny> in the email from the server company ssh is on port 22 on the windows server, how would i go about connecting to that from my ubuntu home machine ?
[12:31] <DistroJockey> starz: heh, used it for ages, tis a nice one, cheers :)
[12:31] <blumm> orphean: hmmm
[12:31] <orphean> jrib: yeah that's it.
[12:31] <Zanth_88> IndoRama: there are a lot of games for linux. depends on your tastes. FPS? RTS? etc.
[12:32] <DistroJockey> golb23: ohh :(
[12:32] <starz> here's one for you: did you know you could drag tabs from one instance of firefox to another?
[12:32] <orphean> CorpseFeeder: try running sudo aticonfig --initial at a commandl ine.
[12:32] <jrib> orphean: ~/.nautilus/metafiles/*
[12:32] <IndoRama> RTS...any suggestions ?
[12:32] <bo0ts> hi there
[12:32] <CorpseFeeder> orphean, isn't there some way I can run the screen configuration thing again which originally set up the video card when I installed ubuntu?
[12:32] <golb23> DistroJockey: appearntly they dont support konqueror either :/
[12:32] <blumm> jrib: all in nautilus/metafiles/ can be deleted?
[12:33] <Zanth_88> IndoRama: maybe Glest
[12:33] <bo0ts> ive already postet a thread on the dell support forum. anybody willing to look into the issue with me?
[12:33] <DistroJockey> golb23: Firefox works :)
[12:33] <starz> ooo
[12:33] <golb23> DistroJockey: yeah but let's just say I prefer opera ;(
[12:33] <jrib> blumm: sure, move them instead of deleting them just in case you see something you missed later
[12:33] <starz> DistroJockey, you should try that cac
[12:33] <golb23> :P

[12:33] <iCEifer> hello, when running kubuntu  I find that many apps stall by the window/app freezing  such as when audacious is launched to play a stream, a java applet is started,  etc...sometimes it recovers but not always, any ideas what might be causing this?

[12:34] <IndoRama> Zanth_88: Thanks, let me try it
[12:34] <Zanth_88> you're welcome. good luck.
[12:34] <blumm> DistroJockey: im not pro enough to edit (meaning: i dont know how to do that) :)
[12:34] <DistroJockey> blumm: find it in  apps - nautilus - icon_view
[12:35] <starz> iCEifer, first #kubuntu is th main channel for that..

[12:36] <gcu> hi guys
[12:36] <DistroJockey> blumm: not sure what are acceptable values are though
[12:36] <blumm> DistroJockey: just checked and didnt find it
[12:36] <Altecyrae> Herlo everyone
[12:37] <gcu> hello altercyrae
[12:37] <jrib> DistroJockey: that's the same thing exposed in edit -> preferences in nautilus though, so I'm not sure it will be any different.  No harm in trying though
[12:37] <DistroJockey> blumm: gconf-editor  then browse to  apps  then  nautilus  ?
[12:37] <gcu> distrojockey i need ya help buddy
[12:37] <Altecyrae> Anyone have any good suggestions for replacements parts for XFCE4?  Panel, desktop, WM, etc?
[12:37] <gcu> can ya help me out wid my prob
[12:37] <DistroJockey> jrib: I was assuming gconf-editor would be a global setting *shrugs*
[12:37] <blumm> DistroJockey: ah, got it
[12:38] <DistroJockey> gcu: ask away, I'll see what I can do ;)
[12:38] <orphean> DistroJockey: the acceptable values are strings mapped to the percentages in the ui. (small, large, smaller, etc). you can't set an arbitray percentage there and there's nothing in there that will solve blumm's current problem.
[12:38] <DistroJockey> orphean: ahh, thanks for that :)

[12:39] <patrikc> I installed VDR to latest ubuntu. I have problem that the vdr does not response to keyboard commands. I guess that the vdr is configured to use lirc by default but i dont know how to change this setting.
[12:39] <blumm> jrib: i tried to remove metafils in .nautilus but it didnt change anything
[12:39] <CorpseFeeder> orphean, I tried that.. the screen resolution is back to normal, but it is complaining about can't detect the hardware when it boots up. Also the hardware test thing fails to show the video test now.
[12:39] <starz> iCEifer, try booting to livecd, install badblocks and check that, and do a memtest86+
[12:40] <jrib> blumm: tried killing and restarting nautilus afterwards?

[12:45] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  demand a refund? or file a bug report.
[12:45] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: i am sure there is already one
[12:45] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  the issues ive been having 2ith samba are neither of those 2 issues you mention.
[12:46] <msingh`>  Dr_willis_: wht issues are you having?
[12:46] <clarezoe> hi, can anyone help? My "tomboy" crashes when I create new notebook, here's the terminal out put http://paste.ubuntu.com/21801/
[12:46] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  you might want to check the forums, there may be some bug/workaround info.  My issue is with gnome/kde file manager and smbfuse, not seeing the windows shares/network at all.
[12:46] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  but odly enough if i run smb4k - it can see/mount the windows shares fine.
[12:46] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: i am having problems with sharing, not viewing shares
[12:47] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  Yep. Im having the exact opposite.    Windows can get to the linux machines fine.
[12:47] <Knightly88> Anyone know how to get the "special" buttons on a mouse to work in Ubuntu? Like the forward and back and center buttons?
[12:47] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: stupid hardy broken what worked perfectly in 7.10
[12:47] <CorpseFeeder> orphean, it all appears to be back to normal now. Thanks.
[12:48] <orphean> CorpseFeeder: whew :) stay away from envy! :)
[12:48] <Muhammad_Saad> Hello, Can someone tell me how long it may take for Firefox 3 to be available for Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy?
[12:48] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  down with progress!
[12:48] <CorpseFeeder> orphean, yeah. Seems my laptop hates it.
[12:48] <rsk> Muhammad_Saad: it won't be in gutsy
[12:48] <skal_> hey
[12:49] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: i just want the losers who broke it to know they have broken it
[12:49] <skal_> im on 8.04
[12:49] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: where can i find them?
[12:49] <skal_> msingh any doubts?
[12:49] <orphean> Muhammad_Saad: never in the repos. if you want it you'll have to do so from outside the official repo tree.
[12:49] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  from what ive read in the forums - the issues are hard to track down.. But it seemed that using the older version of samba, fixed the problems.. but thats not a good 'fix'
[12:49] <DistroJockey> Knightly88: I assume you are not using 8.04?
[12:49] <skal_> i think slackware is good
[12:50] <DistroJockey> Knightly88: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712212
[12:50] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  oddly enouhg - my installs of Linux Mint (ubuntu variant) do NOT seem to have the problem.
[12:50] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: for you? for me it's they decided to stop using the old way and switched to a new one which doesnt work. which is bloody frustrating for a user
[12:51] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  theres the new samba in the works also. :) wonder when it will be ready.
[12:51] <happywithltsp> #ltsp
[12:52] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: im sure this is not a samba problem -- this is a ubuntu problem and specifically a 8.04 problem because i never had any problems with 7.10
[12:53] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  from what ive read. (go check the forums if you want) it seems tobe somthing very hard to track down.    THeres  plenty of evidence there is a problem.. just no one can seem to track down what specifically is the issue.   I posted my info/specs/stuff to the forums to help out the others.. but ive not checked on the thread lately
[12:54] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: the forums are no good unless someone is having the same exact problem as you and they are smart enough to leave enough clues to find that thread
[12:54] <DistroJockey> msingh`, Dr_willis_ : what was the issue again?
[12:54] <msingh`> DistroJockey: samba sharing is broken
[12:54] <DistroJockey> msingh`: as in you use Connect to server ?
[12:54] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  guess ya jut give up then, or sit in here and rant all day.  I found quite a few threads on the topic.  and learnd a few things.
[12:54] <Dr_willis_> Off to recheck the threads i bookmarked.
[12:55] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: there is nothing i can do about it though except complain about a broken distro because this is a very important feature for pretty much any computer user
[12:55] <jrib> msingh`: the comments in the bug for your issue is usually where you can get some answers
[12:55] <msingh`> give me a link
[12:55] <msingh`> it's not like i havent spend many hours of my life searching google already
[12:55] <jrib> msingh`: you said you were sure one was filed.
[12:55] <DistroJockey> msingh`: if you use connect to server, the link gets put in places and a blank window of the machine opens, then you need to click on the share in places and it works
[12:56] <sharperguy> Anyone know if theres a fix/workaround for opengl windows flickering while running compiz-fusion (without turning it off)?
[12:56] <blumm> how can i change user rights in gproftpd so uploaded stuff is accessible to the normal user?
[12:56] <DistroJockey> msingh`: I believe it is a gnome-keyring issue
[12:56] <jrib> msingh`: bugs.ubuntu.com
[12:57] <msingh`> jrib: that's not helpful
[12:57] <screenname57648> hello. How do you set the default action for when a dvd is inserted please?
[12:57] <Dr_willis_> DistroJockey,  i was having my issues under kde, and fusesmb as well. :)
[12:58] <Moodles> i was playing around removing useless things like openoffice, evolution etc, but when i rebooted i lost the top menu bar, the one that includes date/time/applications etc
[12:58] <DistroJockey> Dr_willis_: ahh, fair enough.
[12:58] <msingh`> why is it a keyring issue?
[12:58] <jrib> msingh`: it is.  Search for your issue.  "samba sharing is broken" isn't a helpful description even if someone was willing to search for you
[12:58] <DistroJockey> msingh`: something to do with the authentication I guess (but I could be wrong)
[12:59] <msingh`> jrib: it is broken though!
[12:59] <orphean> Moodles: make sure you didn't uninstall gnome-panel
[12:59] <msingh`> sharing doesnt work -- what more can i say?
[12:59] <Dr_willis_> DistroJockey,  of course im finding dozens of weird issues with samba, and whats really weird is that smb4k worked fine on hardy. and now i have some Linux Mint box's that are all working fine..
[12:59] <Moodles> synaptic shows gnome-panel is still installed
[12:59] <msingh`> http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=181
[12:59] <jrib> msingh`: start with that then.  And compare the bug reports about broken sharing to your situation
[12:59] <msingh`> that's the first hit on google. so i see more and more poeopel are having the same problem
[13:00] <Dr_willis_> DistroJockey,  really got me confused  that smb4k worked.
[13:00] <Moodles> ill try installing missing gnome-* ones
[13:00] <msingh`> jrib: there is not much more to say. the silly ubuntu maintainer who broke iit nows needs to step up
[13:00] <jrib> msingh`: open source is a two way street between users and developers.  I don't understand why you would prefer to rant instead of helping with the bug process
[13:00] <orphean> Moodles: if its installed try hitting Alt-F2 and then running gnome-panel
[13:01] <bjb1959> my xserver broke after an auto-upgrade last night. all I have is 640x480 resolution and dpkg-reconfigure doesn't work any ideas?
[13:01] <orphean> Moodles: see what happens at least :)
[13:01] <DistroJockey> Dr_willis_: Not looked into it much. I just connect to Windows shares. And even that doesn't work flawlessly.
[13:01] <msingh`> jrib: how do you propose i help? it's been months since this bug came about
[13:01] <jrib> msingh`: link me to the bug
[13:01] <jrib> report
[13:01] <msingh`> jrib: i pasted a link already
[13:02] <Dr_willis_> DistroJockey,  yep. My issue seems to be more of a 'scan the network and it instantly times out' issue.  The windows boxs have no issues connecting to the linux machines
[13:02] <jrib> msingh`: to the bug report?  Sorry, I didn't see it.  Can you link again?
[13:02] <Moodles> ok i got the panel back
[13:02] <sanity> Preventing bugs is down to the QA processes, and formalizing those processes?  IS the developer's job.
[13:03] <msingh`> jrib: i dont know.
[13:03] <bjb1959> my xserver broke after an auto-upgrade last night. all I have is 640x480 resolution and dpkg-reconfigure doesn't work any ideas?
[13:04] <Moodles> orphean: if i reboot will gnome-panel load automatically?
[13:04] <jrib> msingh`: this is my point.  The best place for you to get insight into your issue and to help in solving it is bugs.ubuntu.com
[13:04] <msingh`> jrib: i'll have a look now
[13:04] <orphean> Moodles: it should yes. if it doesn't then come back here.
[13:05] <DistroJockey> Dr_willis_: ahh. I never use a scan network as I'm used to Browse Network in Windows with a very large Active Directory not working very well :)
[13:05] <Dr_willis_> DistroJockey,  i normally used the smbfuse stuff.. but it started not working on me during beta. couldent even track down   good error messages to report.
[13:06] <blumm> how can i change the accessibility of files being uploaded by another user on gproftpd?
[13:07] <Moodles> i find webmin does a better job of administrating proftpd
[13:07] <blumm> can anybody help me with gproftpd ?

[13:09] <bjb1959> my xserver broke after an auto-upgrade last night. all I have is 640x480 resolution and dpkg-reconfigure doesn't work any ideas?
[13:09] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  i noticed that bug also and found it confuseing also... :) thats how the kde/gnome file managers work..
[13:09] <msingh`> bjb1959: what drivers are you using?
[13:10] <Moodles> bjb1959: did you reconfigure xserver-org package?
[13:10] <rsl> morning.
[13:10] <rsl> can someone tell me what user/group /var/log/apache2 should be by default?
[13:10] <bjb1959> msingh the linux-restricted drivers that automatically install by kernel version
[13:11] <doctorow> I used synaptic to install Firefox 3.0 on my Gutsy machine and all the UI text (dialog boxes, searchbar, location bar) shows up as little mushroom-shaped characters instead of roman/english ones. What did I do wrong?
[13:11] <jrib> rsl: root/adm
[13:11] <bjb1959> moodles, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg only reconfigured my mouse and keyboard. didn't ask about video card
[13:12] <rsl> jrib: thanks.
[13:13] <doctorow> I used synaptic to install Firefox 3.0 on my Gutsy machine and all the UI text (dialog boxes, searchbar, location bar) shows up as little mushroom-shaped characters instead of roman/english ones. What did I do wrong?
[13:14] <Riotta> maybe it's your profile doctorow
[13:14] <doctorow> Riotta: tell me more?
[13:14] <bjb1959> msingh, moodles any ideas?
[13:15] <Riotta> move it your profile in /home/yourusername/.mozilla/firefox to some backup directory and run firefox again doctorow
[13:15] <msingh`> bjb1959: sorry i didnt catch your answer
[13:16] <bjb1959> msingh, the linux-restircted drivers for the kernel installed
[13:16] <msingh`> with the proprietary drivers it could be anything. sorry i cant help you
[13:16] <doctorow> Riotta,
[13:16] <gordonjcp> msingh`: with the free drivers it could also be anything
[13:16] <gordonjcp> msingh`: particularly with nvidia
[13:16] <doctorow> Riotta, I did that and when Ffox 3 relaunched the confirguration Ui was still all in bad characters
[13:17] <msingh`> gordonjcp: true, atm i am stuck with VESA on one of my machines because there is no free driver and the nvidia one doesnt work
[13:17] <Riotta> is english your native language ? or u use something more exotic maybe it's locales fault? bad localization or bug in them
[13:17] <screenname57648> hello
[13:17] <screenname57648> folks how do you skype on ubuntu?
[13:17] <gordonjcp> msingh`: the nvidia free driver only supports vesa 640x480 anyway
[13:18] <bjb1959> msingh, agree with gordonjcp. free drivers don't work with 3d. but the problem is I can't even get dpkg-reconfigure to install the nv driver
[13:18] <gordonjcp> screenname57648: install skype, configure mike, phone people
[13:18] <doctorow> Riotta, I'm a native English speaker, and the rest of my UI is in English
[13:18] <screenname57648> what about ekiga
[13:18] <Riotta> ok
[13:18] <Riotta> well hmm :d
[13:18] <Dmole> how do I run something as a different user (VLC from CRON)
[13:18] <Dmole> ?
[13:18] <msingh`> gordonjcp: hmm nope i've done higher reses with the nv driver before
[13:18] <msingh`> Dmole: su - user
[13:18] <screenname57648> does ekiga do the skype protocols?
[13:19] <Riotta> what can I say maybe somehow the firefox package corrupted you using it from ubuntu repository or some other place ?
[13:19] <Dr_willis_> Dmole,  running a gui app from cron, may not work very well.
[13:19] <screenname57648> also, how do you do iTunes on ubuntu?
[13:19] <Riotta> if it's corrupted go to synaptic and reinstall the firefox package
[13:19] <doctorow> Riotta -- I tried reinstalling, no love!
[13:19] <phdmybest> could not complier libpng.the system said:checking for zlibVersion in -lz... no

[13:19] <Jack_Sparrow> doctorow Just out of curiosity did you install FF3 off the web (non-reop version) prior to the one from synaptic
[13:19] <Duesentrieb> hi all
[13:20] <doctorow> Jack_Sparrow, no, using Synaptic
[13:20] <nomopofomo> Jack_Sparrow, the perfect guy. I bet you know. Have you ever heard of anyone updating their motherboard firmware using a DOS emulator?
[13:20] <bjb1959> so I get the feeling that no one knows how to help me?
[13:20] <Riotta> doctorow: what window manager you use ?
[13:20] <Riotta> gnome ?
[13:20] <Jack_Sparrow> nomopofomo no on in their right mings
[13:20] <Jack_Sparrow> minds
[13:20] <Jack_Sparrow> sorry fingers not awake yet
[13:20] <doctorow> Riotta, yes, Gnome
[13:20] <Duesentrieb> when i use cron to automatically execute jobs, where will output/errors be logged? From server systems, i'm used to getting them per system mail, but ubuntu doesn't have an MTA installed per default.
[13:20] <Duesentrieb> so, where do they go`?
[13:20] <nomopofomo> Jack_Sparrow, haha... okay... so I should probably download FreeDOS and do it like that?
[13:20] <Jack_Sparrow> nomopofomo Much better choice
[13:21] <doctorow> Riotta, Also, the UI is HUGE -- all the buttons are GIGANTIC, as is the Googlebar, etc
[13:21] <jsnt_99> qualcuno parla in italiano
[13:21] <Riotta> ah
[13:21] <Jack_Sparrow> nomopofomo flashing is so critical on timing you dont want anything os or vm in there that could disrupt it
[13:21] <screenname57648> bye!
[13:22] <Riotta> I think it could be a wrong dpi setting problem doctorow
[13:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !it > jsnt_99
[13:22] <doctorow> Riotta, but it seems like it's just in FFox 3, not in any other apps or the Gnome or FFox 2
[13:22] <nomopofomo> Jack_Sparrow, thanks for the tip. :)
[13:23] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[13:23] <Riotta> doctorow: try what happen if you move entire .mozilla folder to another place and restart firefox
[13:24] <Jack_Sparrow> doctorow the first thing I would do is save my bookmarks to a safe place
[13:24] <orphean> like delicious heh
[13:24] <Riotta> Jack_Sparrow: I said move not delete ;)
[13:24] <doctorow> Riotta, same thing...
[13:24] <Riotta> ok
[13:25] <Riotta> doctorow: give me the answer of this command 'xdpyinfo | grep resolution'
[13:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Riotta Understood..  but it is still a good idea before he does much of anything to save those
[13:25] <doctorow> Oh shit. I just did mv .mozilla .mozilla.bak and relaunched, then did mv. mozilla.bak .mozilla and when Ffox 2 came backup, all my config/bookmarks were gone
[13:26] <Dr_willis_> doctorow,  this is why  i like those web based bookmarking sites/extensions. :)
[13:26] <insomninja> anybody know why using a sample proven to work xmonad.hc doesn't work for me in ubuntu? http://www.nopaste.com/p/aN73E1Oocb

[13:27] <doctorow> OK, well now I have bigger problems. I guess I need to go find my backup at the office.

[13:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !ru
[13:28] <starz> sudo apt-get --purge remove <package>
[13:28] <starz> then when its removing it, it will give you errors usually

[13:28] <starz> xxx folder not empty etc
[13:28] <arthur> how do i look for the settings?
[13:28] <starz> then you go there in terminal and look about

[13:32] <marlun> How can I stop Ubuntu from playing a song if I select it on the Desktop?
[13:32] <sanity> ctrl-alt-backspace
[13:32] <marlun> Right now it's playing a song that I selected and removed and I have no idea how to turn it off... :/
[13:32] <rsk> http://www.sauerbraten.org/
[13:32] <cgentry72> starz, then what
[13:32] <rsk> is there any #ubuntu-games ?
[13:32] <orphean> marlun: that will kill the xserver if you do that (ctrl-alt-backspace) be forwarned.
[13:33] <starz> cgentry72, then you punch the gateway in firefox
[13:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !games > rsk
[13:33] <starz> Jack_Sparrow, |
[13:33] <marlun> orphean: So I have to restart xserver for this? Thats not very good :)
[13:33] <Jack_Sparrow> starz either work
[13:33] <golb23> why cant we burn dvd9s in linux.............. it doesnt add up :( :(
[13:34] <insomninja> starz, a very standard xmonad (tiling window manager) configuration file gives an error, that merely tells something went wrong when loading the file, but not what.
[13:34] <starz> Jack_Sparrow, really?
[13:34] <starz> !w32codecs > starz
[13:34] <starz> oh

[13:35] <cgentry72> starz, i get nothing when i do that
[13:36] <sanity> marlun: bring up a terminal then type, sudo killall totem-audio-preview
[13:36] <marlun> sanity: ah, thanks, thats better will test it next time it happends :)
[13:37] <matt444> what is the best supported (debian) smtp server?
[13:37] <starz> cgentry72, i'm going to /notice you a few things and in reply use /notice back
[13:38] <orphean> matt444: i would say postfix but people get fairly vocal about their preference.
[13:38] <matt444> orphean:  thanks
[13:38] <matt444> orphean:  postfix can send directly from my computer?
[13:38] <arthur> that worked had to remove the folder with all the configuration files in it...

[13:44] <Starnestommy> incorrect: history -c
[13:45] <orphean> rubydiamond: check it out again in a different dir. svn co --revisioion 1234 svn+ssh://svn.myserver.org/svn/modules/trunk module
[13:45] <Gaming4JC> Starnestommy: Would you remeber what that site was that had an autodetect driver for Lucent Winmodem's? I think the comapny started with a C... they had Lucent in their name and a driver which cost money/
[13:45] <Gaming4JC> :-/
[13:45] <orphean> rubydiamond: er --revision that is ;)
[13:45] <incorrect> Starnestommy, won't that erase the bash history i want to clear the screen but remove all previous out put

[13:50] <Daenyth> How can I make firefox load urls from a middle click with url in the clipboard
[13:50] <Daenyth> It does it for me on archlinux, but ubuntu appears to have patched that out
[13:50] <starz> Daenyth, where the favicon goes
[13:50] <starz> to the left of the url
[13:50] <Gaming4JC> Jack_Sparrow: Hmm... ok. I was still hoping for that pay for driver site. The auto-detction was a nice touch. :)
[13:50] <Daenyth> I could always just midclick inside the page though
[13:50] <J1> daenyth - it does work for me. if i click a link with the middle mouse button (the wheel) it get opened in a new tab
[13:50] <Daenyth> How can I get that behavior back.
[13:51] <Daenyth> J1: that's not what i'm talking about
[13:51] <jrib> Daenyth: it's setting in about:config, middlemouse.contentLoadURL
[13:51] <rsk> http://digg.com/pc_games/Sauerbraten_a_k_a_Cube_2_Has_released_an_updated_version :P

[13:51] <gnumm> does kde4 work stable and well in kubuntu?
[13:51] <Daenyth> hmm
[13:51] <Daenyth> it's already set to true!
[13:52] <PincoPallino> hi to all
[13:52] <Daenyth> does the ubuntu modification extension disable it or something?
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/
[13:52] <Knightly88> Can someone tell me if I need to set/install something to get a bigger screen resolution? Does the size of screen resolution depend only on the Graphics Card or the settings/OS as well?
[13:52] <Gaming4JC> Jack_Sparrow: yay, thnx :)
[13:52] <wbadger> ﻿hello, I've just installed xubuntu 8.04 which also reinstalled grub, and when I try to boot into it I get "Starting up" and the screen freezes. Can anyone help?
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[13:52] <Sockmonkey> How do I connect to internet on ubuntu with a tiscali USB modem? I've tried in networks, but can't get it to work. :/
[13:53] <jrib> Daenyth: that was what you had to do 2 releases ago, maybe something else changed now
[13:53] <Knightly88> My current screen resolution is 1280x1024 however my buddy on his laptop can get like 1400x900... anyone know how? or is this based completely off the graphics card?
[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Daenyth there is a #ubuntu-kde4 channel
[13:53] <Daenyth> jrib: balls, ok. I'll try disabling the modification extension
[13:53] <wols_> !fixres
[13:53] <Gaming4JC> Ubuntu is awesome once you figure it all out.
[13:53] <Daenyth> Jack_Sparrow: not me
[13:54] <Gaming4JC> hmm be back l8r all.
[13:54] <orphean> Knightly88: graphics card and the resolution of your screen. hardware :)
[13:54] <JaCib> wbagder: try to shift to tty1 during startup (Alt+F1)
[13:54] <Gaming4JC> thanks again. :D
[13:54] <Jack_Sparrow> gnumm  there is a #ubuntu-kde4 channel
[13:55] <wbadger> JaCib: I tried, it does not work. I don't think linux even started up
[13:55] <Knightly88> Thanks
[13:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Daenyth MIssed it by THAT much.. in my best Maxwell Smart Voice
[13:55] <gnumm> i joined it
[13:55] <Daenyth> lol
[13:55] <J1> its a personal matter for me to get this idea going. anyone with 1min spare time, please read it and if u agree vote! http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/10140/
[13:55] <J1> help us get more support on ubuntu
[13:55] <Jack_Sparrow> J1 PLease dont
[13:56] <LimCore> what is a good CPU/mem/temp/etc monitoring program with GUI?  Flexible (adding many sensors) etc?
[13:56] <Jack_Sparrow> LimCore lmsensors perhaps
[13:56] <Flynsarmy> After a while of being logged on sound stops working in games for me. anyone know why that'd happen?
[13:56] <WalloO> LimCore, screenlets + watermark screenlet
[13:57] <JaCib> wbagder: do you know anything about your harddrive setup?
[13:57] <WalloO> LimCore, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/WaterMark+system+information?content=71960
[13:57] <Daenyth> jrib: installing tab mix plus fixed it, it must be related to that extension. Thanks for your help
[13:57] <JaCib> wbadger: maybe is there errors in grubs startup commands
[13:58] <wbadger> JaCib: yes, I have one hard drive, with 4 partitions. first two are NTFS for windows, 3rd is ext3 on which I just installed xubuntu 8.04, and 4th is swap
[13:58] <Daenyth> ew, single partition install
[13:58] <Daenyth> split /home next time at least
[13:58] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[13:58] <wbadger> JaCib: thanks, I thought so too, but I didn't find any important difference between new and old menu.lst
[13:59] <Daenyth> for me, I always split at least /home, and usually /boot too
[13:59] <Daenyth> if I were running a production machine I'd split /usr and /var as well
[13:59] <wbadger> Daenyth: how does splitting /home help?
[13:59] <JaCib> wbagder: check if the grub startup command points to /dev/sda2 or /dev/hda2
[13:59] <WalloO> LimCore, with watermark, you can easily change fan speed, and even overclock or underclock your video card from the system.
[13:59] <Jack_Sparrow> wbadger MAkes upgrades and reinstalls a breeze
[13:59] <Daenyth> wbadger: it helps massively for reinstalling/backups/distro change
[13:59] <Daenyth> it means if you fuck up your /, your settings are still intact
[13:59] <Flynsarmy> Woudl having VirtualBox open have anything to do with sound not working in games after a while?
[13:59] <Daenyth> well, user settings at any rate
[14:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Daenyth Family friendly language please
[14:00] <ompaul> !language | Daenyth
[14:00] <Daenyth> similarly for /boot, having it separate and mounted read-only means you can still boot
[14:00] <wbadger> Daenyth: I just backed up all my stuff :P but your method is better, Ill do that next time.
[14:00] <Daenyth> sorry bout that
[14:00] <Daenyth> wbadger: :)
[14:00] <Kele1> Is there any possible to running WOW on ubuntu? anyone knows?
[14:00] <Daenyth> Kele1: WoW runs well in wine I am told
[14:00] <wbadger> JaCib: what sturtup command are you referring to
[14:00] <DjViper> how do you run a .jnlp file?
[14:00]  * LivingInTwilight always puts /home on a separate partition. A separate disk, if he can.
[14:00] <Daenyth> in any case
[14:01] <Flynsarmy> Kele1, It runs with wine. you could check the WINE app db to see if your version works
[14:01] <Daenyth> later, thanks for the help
[14:01] <ubuntu> Wine 1.0 works great.
[14:01] <wbadger> DjViper: with javaws I think
[14:01] <DjViper> okay
[14:01] <Kele1> Flynsarmy: it is runs as windows with wine?
[14:01] <WalloO> Kele1, yes, it'S possible with wine, but I heard a guy who had is account disabled becauyse they thought he was using bots, but in fact he just played from linux. don't know how blizzard deals with that now
[14:02] <Flynsarmy> Kelel: Wine is an implimentation of windows for unix. it lets you run windows apps on ubuntu
[14:02] <Leefmc> Question: Is there an apt-get flag/command to completely remove an app? In the package manager, i notice there is a "Mark for complete removal" which removes settings, old dirs, etc, which i see that apt-get remove is leaving intact.
[14:02] <orphean> Leefmc: purge
[14:02] <LivingInTwilight> Leefmc, aptitude purge <blah>
[14:03] <Leefmc> aptitude? new command :o, k thanks
[14:03] <Flynsarmy> LivingInTwilight, What's the diff between apt-get purge and apt-get remove?
[14:03] <LivingInTwilight> Flynsarmy, remove preserves configuration entries and files. Purge does not, by design.
[14:03] <Flynsarmy> LivingInTwilight, Thanks
[14:03] <wbadger> JaCib: menu.lst has this line under the ubuntu titles : root		(hd0,2)
[14:04] <Kele1> OK, for all your help, i will check info about wine how to run WOW, just take a try... lol
[14:04] <LivingInTwilight> Leefmc, aptitude is a curses-based menu-driven interface to apt-get and dpkg. Entering simply 'aptitude' will start it. However, it also supports many of the same options that apt-get does, and from what I am aware, it has better dependency tracking. It will remove packages no longer required by dependencies. Not sure if apt-get does that, but I've had cases where it didn't.
[14:04] <mib> hi..i have a problem in dvd
[14:04] <WalloO> Kele1, wait...
[14:04] <mib> when i load the dvd inside, it said "CANNOT READ DATA FROM RESOURCE"
[14:05] <mib> please help
[14:05] <Sockmonkey> Can anyone help me get internet onto ubuntu? I can't get it to work. :/
[14:05] <Zanth_88> Sockmonkey: open a Terminal and type 'sudo pppoeconf'
[14:05] <WalloO> Kele1, to have everything working, you will need to install dx9. So take a look at dx9 install tutorial for wine, and follow each step carefully.
[14:05] <Leefmc> LivingInTwilight: Well apt-get does have apt-get autoremove, which does something similar it sounds like
[14:05] <crm_> is there a reasonable driver for ntfs nowadays?
[14:05] <mib> anyone could help
[14:05] <crm_> r/w?
[14:05] <Flynsarmy> LivingInTwilight, Are apt-get and aptitude the same thing?
[14:06] <mib> it comes up Error read datra from resource
[14:06] <WalloO> crm_,  for sure. 3g
[14:06] <LivingInTwilight> Flynsarmy, no. As I said, aptitude is an interface for apt-get.
[14:06] <WalloO> crm_, it's now enabled in ubuntu8.04 by default
[14:06] <LivingInTwilight> Flynsarmy, however, the syntax is much the same.
[14:06] <crm_> WalloO.. is that now considered "stable"?
[14:06] <Kele1> WalloO: its OK. thanks for your suggestion..
[14:06] <Sockmonkey> Zanth_88, what do I need to do after that? (It's dual booted with XP so I can't do it step by step :/)
[14:06] <rsk> crm_: stable since quite a while
[14:06] <LivingInTwilight> Flynsarmy, apt-get install/remove/purge/search = aptitude install/remove/purge/search
[14:06] <JaCib> wbadger: is it possible to show me your menu.lst file? (pastebin)
[14:06] <Flynsarmy> mib: Make sure you've restarted after you install all the dvd stuff.
[14:06] <WalloO> crm_, it's enabled by default in ubuntu, and I never had a problem using it.
[14:07] <crm_> rsk.. ta
[14:07] <Zanth_88> Sockmonkey: are you on Ubuntu now, or XP?
[14:07] <IronRoses> does anyone have the NETGEAR WG511U pcmcia wireless card working with latest ubuntu?
[14:07] <mib> Flynsarmy: i just want to open a dvd
[14:07] <Sockmonkey> XP, otherwise I wouldn't need to know how to get internet working?
[14:07] <mib> what does the error means anyway
[14:07] <LivingInTwilight> Leefmc, aptitude does it automatically. If there is an unneeded library after you remove something, it cleans it out.
[14:07] <Zanth_88> hmm
[14:07] <Leefmc> LivingInTwilight: Gotcha
[14:07] <Flynsarmy> mib: Not a clue. All i know is i installed the video dvd stuff earlier today and it wasn't working. I restarted and now it is
[14:07] <LivingInTwilight> Now I'm going to go through my new quad-core Xeon into my server...
[14:08] <mib> what dvd software you using
[14:08] <mib> in your ubuntu
[14:08] <kandinski> is there a gui app to enable deadkeys on an english keyboard layout?
[14:08] <vlad> Sorri!I don't speak engish
[14:08] <WalloO> LivingInTwilight, does xeon processors overclock easily?
[14:08] <crm_> is compiz fusion easy to install now?
[14:09] <orphean> crm_: its installed by default in hardy
[14:09] <wbadger> JaCib: http://paste.uni.cc/18898
[14:09] <erUSUL> crm_: is installed by default in hardy
[14:09] <Flynsarmy> mib: VLC is the best one i've found so far. If you use totem it doesn't support menus
[14:09] <gnumm> crm_: it's installed by default in hardy
[14:09] <WalloO> LivingInTwilight, is it possible to be a 150% normal speed on air cooling with a quad core Xeon?
[14:09] <mib> im using totem now
[14:09] <LivingInTwilight> WalloO, I have no idea, I don't do overclocking much.
[14:09] <Elijah> I need some grub help!
[14:09] <mib> is it apt-get install VLC?
[14:09] <Ad84> is there any online video tutorials on ubuntu or linux training?
[14:09] <LivingInTwilight> WalloO, I know that you can do something similar with the Core 2 Quads. Q6600, G0 stepping, can go from 2.4GHz to 3.4GHz stable on air.
[14:09] <Elijah> I have installed ubuntu since 7.04
[14:10] <danbhfive> Ad84: for free?
[14:10] <gnumm> crm_: you can configure it with "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager"
[14:10] <Flynsarmy> mib: lowercase, but yes
[14:10] <danbhfive> Elijah: whats the problem
[14:10] <WalloO> LivingInTwilight, my Q6600 is very stable at 3.6 by air. But I don't know for Xeon.
[14:10] <orphean> mib: type aptitude search <whatever> to find packages.
[14:10] <Ad84> yes or at a price whatever is out there:)
[14:10] <Flynsarmy> mib: To install the stuff that lets dvds play, do the 2 commands on this page: http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands. then reboot
[14:10] <LivingInTwilight> WalloO, Honestly, I think you're probably good to go. The Xeon processors aren't much different - I think they're just a better binning of their associated Core 2.
[14:11] <JaCib> wbadger: is your dics a sata or old ide?
[14:11] <srn> just installed lates ubuntu on  a thinkpad, during the installation the wifi card seemed to work fine (it's a dwl-660) but now i cant get it to work at all, dhclient just says "mp dhcpoffers recieved
[14:11] <danbhfive> Ad84: well, Ubuntu.com/canonical has put out a training course recently.  Its like $100, maybe more, but I think it all supports ubuntu.  You auto check it out, let me see if I can find a link
[14:11] <cheDu> hello there
[14:11] <DIL> Ad84: some folks have done some videos on youtube - you may want to query any specific topic followed by youtube and you may get a hit
[14:11] <Ad84> ok thanks
[14:11] <WalloO> LivingInTwilight, I will think about it, since I will have very intensive calculation (optical calculation). And 50% faster can be greate... :)
[14:12] <wbadger> JaCib: I'm actually not sure, but I think its sata
[14:12] <danbhfive> Ad84: http://www.ubuntu.com/training
[14:12] <Igramul> Hi, how can I tell the linux kernel not to use too much memory for disk caching? I have a low-memory system and get  "0-order allocation failed" errors while the kernel is wasting 8MB for disk caches.

[14:14] <Elijah> danbhfive, how do i even edit grub
[14:15] <erUSUL> Igramul: sorry for not being more precise ...
[14:15] <Elijah> To everyone - Dropbox linux client for Ubuntu Gnome Nautillus will be released any day now!
[14:15] <orphean> doktoreas: www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts  you can just pay attention to the email parts. it will walk you through a reasonable setup.
[14:15] <danbhfive> Elijah: ok, well, for every kernel installed, a set of options is automatically inserted into grub.  3 for each, normal recovery memtest.    Just uninstall extra kernels to get rid of those
[14:15] <JaCib> wbagder: try this instead: http://paste.uni.cc/18899
[14:15] <doktoreas> orphean: thanks for the link
[14:16] <doktoreas> what I don't understand if I should do something with DNS
[14:16] <Elijah> danbhfive, How do I unsinstall kernels?
[14:16] <danbhfive> Elijah: to change the default that is selected at bootup, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst              There are options in there.  You should be careful, read through it, and understand it
[14:17] <Elijah> danbhfive, So why doesn't ubuntu uninstall old kernels on upgrade?
[14:17] <danbhfive> Elijah: you could try synaptic, look for a package that starts with linux-image, and ends with the version number you want to get rid of
[14:17] <DrHalan> hi guys, totem and nautilus (when displaiyng video previews) became extremly unstable. what could be the reason for that?
[14:17] <danbhfive> Elijah: in case the new kernel doesnt work, that way you can still boot into the old kernel
[14:17] <wbadger> JaCib: ok, I will be back afterwards but it could take some time, thank you very much
[14:17] <Elijah> danbhfive, that makes sense
[14:18] <yrjokin> how do i get the process list up in ubuntu please?
[14:19] <rsk> yrjokin: top
[14:19] <rsk> yrjokin: as in any other distro
[14:19] <yrjokin> rsk: i use ctrl + Esc in mandriva - I don't understand what you mean by top (sorry)
[14:20] <DIL> yrjokin: ps aux
[14:20] <rsk> yrjokin: write that in a terminal and press enter
[14:20] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know why sound stops working in games after a little while?
[14:21] <danbhfive> Flynsarmy: what game?
[14:21] <yrjokin> i was looking for the gui version but that is just as good - thank you guys
[14:22] <Raiders32> I tried to install a piece of software using wine.  I get a message stating '/home/myusernam/.wine is not owned by you'.  However when I use ls to list directory contents it tells my the file's owner is myusername and the group is myusername.
[14:23] <jrib> Raiders32: paste the output of: ls -ld ~/.wine
[14:23] <abelabel> hi, after a partially failed ubuntu studio installation (8.04) on my laptop, I now have a functioning Grub menu and can start Ubuntu, but only get access to the command line. I've tried installing gnome and kde using apt-get and did a "sudo apt-get upgrade", but when typing "gnome-session" I get a warning: Gtk-warning **: cannot open display - any hints how to resolve this? I'm dual booting and can acces the file system.
[14:23] <Elijah> danbhfive, so basically when you dual boot ubuntu it installs grub and makes it the default bootloader and disables/deletes the windows booter
[14:23] <esteth> Hi everyone. How do i get the latest drivers for my intel GMA graphics?
[14:23] <the-herby_> hello. i installed ubuntu-xen-server on gutsy and now it always gets unresponsive so that no key stroke will geht through :( this happens even if i boot up the normal kernel.
[14:23] <jrib> abelabel: /join #ubuntustudio
[14:24] <ubuntu> Could I use "SAMSUNG SpinPoint S166 160GB SATA2 8MB 7200RPM" in a HP Pavilion dv6386eu laptop?
[14:24] <ubuntu>  2,5" or 3,5"?
[14:24] <abelabel> jrib, will do
[14:24] <wbadger> JaCib, Hi, I'm back and unfortunately your suggestion didn't work.. Do you have any other ideas by any chance?
[14:24] <Elijah> danbhfive, so I can just delete these entries from the menu.lst in grub? Are you saying I should also uninstall the kernals?
[14:24] <Xpistos> Hi everyone! Is there a way so that when I minimize my window instead of it being .1 mm smaller, it will shrink to about 1/4 the size of the maximized window as a default?
[14:24] <kestrel> yrjokin:look at System >> Administration >> System Monitor
[14:25] <JaCib> wbadger: And still just a freezing screen?
[14:25] <yrjokin> okay - ty
[14:25] <Raiders32> jrib: how do I paste?  cut in terminal and paste here?
[14:25] <wbadger> JaCib, exactly the same as before.. it says "starting up" and freezes there
[14:25] <jrib> Raiders32: sure, it's only one line
[14:25] <Raiders32> jrib: troy@gw01:~$
[14:25] <Raiders32> troy@gw01:~$ ls -ld ~/.wine
[14:25] <Raiders32> drwxr-xr-x 4 troy troy 4096 2008-06-21 09:18 /home/troy/.wine
[14:25] <Raiders32> troy@gw01:~$
[14:26] <Elijah> how do I save the menu.lst file it says I don't have permission
[14:26] <the-herby_> what can i do if gnome does not respond to any action? not even the restart of X is working in that case.
[14:26] <jrib> Elijah: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:26] <Elijah> jrib, does that mean i ahve to use a terminal window?
[14:26] <jrib> the-herby_: raise skinny elephants (google this)
[14:26] <jrib> Elijah: yes, but your editor will be gui
[14:27] <jrib> the-herby_: well, first, try ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a tty.  ctrl-alt-f7 brings you back
[14:27] <the-herby_> the ctrl-alt-fN does not work
[14:27] <Elijah> jrib, thanks, i noticed there is terminal and gnome-terminal, are they the same program?
[14:27] <jrib> Elijah: by default, yes
[14:28] <Flynsarmy> danbhfive, Supertux2 but it also happens on jedi academy2 in wine so it's not just the one game
[14:28] <mnemo> how can I see what files were added to my system when I installed a certain package??
[14:28] <Flynsarmy> danbhfive, The problem is that the sounds work for a little whiel of being logged on, but after i quit the game and start it up again later the sound doesn' towrk
[14:28] <jrib> Raiders32: strange behavior then.  Try #winehq maybe
[14:28] <Elijah> jrib, wait, terminal does not work
[14:28] <Raiders32> jrib: thanks
[14:28] <jrib> mnemo: dpkg -L PACKAGE    or some gui option in Synaptic if you prefer
[14:28] <jrib> Elijah: be more specific...
[14:28] <Elijah> the black screen one, what is that one
[14:28] <Elijah> terminal
[14:29] <Elijah> gnome-terminal = black background
[14:29] <mnemo> jrib: thanks, that's exactly what I needed
[14:29] <Elijah> i mean white
[14:29] <esteth> Does anyone know of a tool similar to T-Search but for linux?
[14:29] <cs02rm0> how can i find the /dev/ reference to a USB device i've plugged in?
[14:29] <JaCib> wbagder: I'm sorry, but i cannot help you :(
[14:29] <jrib> Elijah: I don't understand what you are asking.  The colors are completely customizable
[14:29] <Tux2K8> I have many files named X.part01.rar , X.part02.rar ... etc... how do I extract all of them using unarar??????????
[14:29] <jrib> esteth: explain what T-Search does
[14:29] <Elijah> jrib, when you open the terminal in alt+f2 what command do you put in box
[14:30] <jrib> Tux2K8: extract the first one
[14:30] <esteth> jrib: Ok
[14:30] <wbadger> JaCib, thank you very much for your help.. I'll try other things.
[14:30] <rsk> Tux2K8: unrar x part00.rar
[14:30] <yrjokin> kestrel: DIL: & rsk: thank you
[14:30] <jrib> Elijah: gnome-terminal.  But just use the menu item: Accessories -> Terminal
[14:30] <tjea> Hi all
[14:30] <Tux2K8> COOL! it works..thanks
[14:30] <esteth> Does anyone know of a program capable of "hacking" processes by searching through their memory for values, and allowing you to lock them / change them
[14:31] <jrib> esteth: a debugger?  gdb maybe?
[14:31] <Dante123> hi all, my son was playing COD2 under wine on this computer...and ever since then...the fonts are kind of messed up.  I don't know if he got into changing them too...but they are not as crisp and clean as they were before.  Any advice or thoughts on what may have happened?  Also what are the default fonts and sizes for ubuntu upon regular install?
[14:31] <choudesh> esteth, gdb
[14:31] <Elijah> jrib,  thanks for that tip - i saw a black screen terminal once in this learning curve a while back, i was just wondering what the name of that was
[14:31] <esteth> jrib / Choudesh: Thanks, i'll look at that :)
[14:31] <jrib> Elijah: right click -> edit current profile.  You can make it whatever color you want
[14:31] <s_spiff> guys how do i disable preview for sound files???
[14:32] <tjea> I have set up pop email with evolution, but it deleted my mail from my old inbox. How do I get the maill back into both inboxes, old and new
[14:32] <jrib> s_spiff: edit -> preferences -> preview
[14:32] <Elijah> jrib, ok, thanks i just thought it was a different app since i had the white one and black one open at the same time and never changed anything
[14:32] <s_spiff> jrib: thank you!
[14:33] <golb23> is it possible to use .ico (icon) in ubuntu or do I need to convert it somehow?
[14:33] <Dante123> What is the default application font, document font, display font, etc.
[14:33] <jrib> Elijah: probably.  But you can also have multiple profiles.  The other big terminal emulators are konsole, xterm, urxvt
[14:33] <tjea> I have set up pop email with evolution, but it deleted my mail from my old inbox. How do I get the maill back into both inboxes, old and new
[14:33] <jrib> Dante123: system -> preferences -> appearance -> fonts
[14:33] <Elijah> jrib, it was xterm!!! Thanks
[14:33] <Dante123> yes, I am their jrib but would like to know what the default ones are because I think he switched them
[14:34] <jrib> Dante123: create a new user and check
[14:34] <tjea> please
[14:34] <Dante123> okay
[14:36]  * euu care stie cum fac un egg sa se conecteze pe mirc?
[14:37] <Elijah> So know that I know how to edit and save the menu.lst file, i want to remove all the old kernal options from my boot loader, is it necessary to remove the actual kernels too?
[14:37] <Elijah> What would you do?
[14:37] <Knightly88> Anyone know how I cal tell if I can setup my NVIDIA GeForce 6100 card to the screen resolution 1400x900?
[14:37] <wols_> Elijah: no you can keep them
[14:37] <jrib> Elijah: no, but if you do remove the old kernels, they will update the menu.lst for you
[14:37] <choudesh> Elijah, no it isn't necessary. But if you want to save space - then remove them.
[14:37] <wols_> Knightly88: what drivers?
[14:37] <ThRixXx> Hey people, how much faster is xubuntu compared to ubuntu ?
[14:37] <choudesh> heh. I am slow this morning. ;-)
[14:38]  * euu care stie cum fac un egg sa se conecteze pe mirc?pls prv me ca e urgent
[14:38] <wols_> ThRixXx: depends on your RAM
[14:38] <jrib> Elijah: I would remove all my old linux-image-VERSION except for the last two
[14:38] <Elijah> i don't want the old kernels then, so if i remove them it auto maticlaly updates them? Is this where the term automagically is used that I keep hearing
[14:38] <wols_> Knightly88: don't PM people. have a nice day
[14:38] <Elijah> i read automagic in the menu.lst
[14:38] <jrib> Elijah: probably
[14:38] <ThRixXx> wel there is a computer lying at my house with 512 ran, 2.4ghz celeron
[14:38] <wols_> Elijah: you remove them wiht apt-get or synaptic, then yes
[14:38] <wols_> ThRixXx: bot ubuntu and xubuntu would work fine
[14:39] <ThRixXx> but if i install xubuntu wil i feel a huge diff ?
[14:39] <Zanth_88> mostly the gui
[14:39] <Elijah> and i just search for "kernel" in synaptic?
[14:39] <Zanth_88> Xubuntu uses the Xfce interface, which is made to run on slower and older machines
[14:40] <Elijah> jrib, What do you mean by last 2?
[14:40] <cdavis> I want tomboy to start at startup but only in notification area, how do I keep it from opening the foreground upon startup?
[14:40] <Elijah> jrib, last 2 kernels or options
[14:40] <Knightly88> k... I have the NVIDIA GeForce 6100 drivers installed and currently a screen rez of 1280x1024... just wondering if I can make it bigger... even though it doesn't show it under the main screen rez options...
[14:40] <jrib> Elijah: kernels
[14:40] <Elijah> jrib, so you have a total of 3 kernels at all times
[14:40] <Zanth_88> ThRixXx: maybe it looks a bit simpler, but with the comp you specified, you could easily try and install Ubuntu on it with the GNOME interface.
[14:41] <Elijah> jrib,  or just the most recent 2
[14:41] <jrib> Elijah: nah, just the current one and the last old one
[14:41] <Jane_> Hey
[14:41] <jrib> Elijah: no problem in keeping 3 if you want
[14:41] <ben> hey
[14:42] <ThRixXx> ok cool, so im just gonna install ubuntu then ill aptget xubuntu try both :D
[14:42] <ThRixXx> tx
[14:42] <Jane_> I have a video that I'd like to compress. The data rate is 6MBPS and I'd like to make it 3MBPS, how do I do this in Ubuntu?
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Daenyth Family friendly language please
[14:42] <Elijah> Zanth_88, I installed xubuntu a sa virtual machine in virtual box a while back, it's user inetrface is different, if you are just learning ubuntu like me then you can get away with ubuntu on that hardware, I would stick with it
[14:42] <byte_slave> hello all!
[14:42] <byte_slave> which option is the best for backuping serveral machines? client machines PUT fils in remote backup machines or backup server machines GET files from client machines?
[14:42] <Knightly88> wols: can you manually change the screen rez to something bigger even if it's not showing a bigger screen rez on the screen rez options screen?
[14:42] <saint-takeshi> is there a man page on APIC/ACPI boot parameters?
[14:42] <Zanth_88> Elijah: I'm running Kubuntu myself
[14:43] <Zanth_88> as a host OS
[14:43] <Elijah> jrib, ok, thanks, so do you then also keep current and last version in boot loader right? You also keep the recovery mode options too?
[14:43] <pencinta> hai..............???
[14:43] <mib> hi again: i have this problem, The source seems encrypted and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?
[14:43] <jrib> Elijah: yes
[14:43] <mib> this is when i put the dvd again
[14:43] <wols_> !dvd
[14:43] <mib> how is that
[14:43] <DIL> byte_slave: files sb backed up to server and server sb then backed up
[14:44] <Elijah> Zanth_88, I see, so maybe you are familiar with the way different things work, I am going to get comfy with ubuntu forst
[14:44] <Zanth_88> Elijah, I don't know. I only used GNOME and KDE
[14:44] <benjimbo> !
[14:44] <Zanth_88> but not Xfce
[14:44] <PeaceMakr> kubunt/kde desktop, ubuntu/gnome desktop, xubuntu/xfce desktop
[14:44] <PeaceMakr> kubuntu
[14:44] <kestrel> cdavis:right click in the panel and "Add to Panel" find tomboy
[14:44] <Elijah> Zanth_88, well, you learned those so I would think another would be easy for you
[14:45] <byte_slave> DIL, i mean i tried to make a backup server and i used some applications available but it seems to me, that using backup server machine to GET files via SMB for example are very very slow even with a 1GB ethernet link
[14:45] <Zanth_88> ehh, i've been using KDE for about 3 months now. used GNOME for about a whole year before that, but i'm pondering going back to GNOME
[14:45] <Xpistos> ﻿Is there a way so that when I minimize my window instead of it being .1 mm smaller, it will shrink to about 1/4 the size of the maximized window as a default?
[14:45] <PeaceMakr> stayaway from enlightment, still very buggy
[14:45]  * euu care stie cum fac un egg sa se conecteze pe mirc?pls prv me ca e urgent
[14:46] <pencinta> hay ayo gentu yuk....................
[14:46] <Zanth_88> but i won't use xfce because my comp can easily handle both GNOME and KDE too :)
[14:46] <mib> i have this sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh: command not found
[14:46] <Zanth_88> and i don't bother with other window managers like enlightment
[14:46] <mib> ive got the latest libdvdread3 already
[14:46] <mib> when i follow the second step..activating DVD decryption
[14:46] <Elijah> jrib, How would I use apt-get to "remove" a kernel, it only says it is for downloading and installing packages
[14:46] <erUSUL> Elijah: sudo apt-get remove packagename
[14:46] <wols_> Elijah: man apt-get and you will see
[14:46] <VSpike> On 8.04, I can't start X because nvidia driver can't load the kernel module... how do I find the problem?
[14:47] <Elijah> argh
[14:47] <byte_slave> DIL, understando for "Backup server" a dedicated machine not in the same building just to have a copy of the stuff of the working server
[14:47] <DIL> byte_slave: generally ist time is ver slow but if you configure for incremental backups it should get better
[14:47] <wols_> VSpike: find if you have the kernel driver installed and then if it's loaded
[14:47] <Elijah> my gnome-terminal is like flickering, how do i stop it
[14:47] <Elijah> it is like glitching every .5 seconds
[14:47] <Elijah> doesn't happen unless it is maximized
[14:47] <saint-takeshi> Zanth_88: yeah, with a "decent" spec PC, the performance increase with xfce isn't worth the hassle of getting used to the interface
[14:48] <byte_slave> DIL, sure but for example you think is normal a machine take 12hours to backup only 5GB of information via SMB?
[14:48] <Elijah> saint-takeshi, glad you said that
[14:48] <jrib> Elijah: aptitude search '~nlinux-image~i'   To find the packages that are installed with 'linux-image' in the name.  Then just, 'sudo aptitude purge PACKAGE1 PACKAGE2 ...'
[14:48] <mib> still having same error message
[14:48] <PeaceMakr> Elijah, you mean to edit grub?
[14:48] <Zanth_88> saint-takeshi: i have an AMD 1.6 GhZ machine with 640MB DDRAM and an NVidia GeForce 6200 card
[14:48] <VSpike> wols_: Which package do I need to look for?
[14:48] <DIL> byte_slave: i see
[14:48] <Zanth_88> so it runs smooth
[14:48] <byte_slave> DIL, i tried backuppc, backup-restore from holonix
[14:49] <DIL> byte_slave: not fam
[14:49] <VSpike> wols_: running 2.6.24-18-generic
[14:49] <byte_slave> DIL, what you use as your backup strategy? client and server
[14:49] <mib> anyone could give me any hints
[14:49] <Elijah> jrib, I will try that
[14:49] <wols_> VSpike: for nvidia packages
[14:49] <pepparkaka> Any solution to getting that damn flash-plugin to stop segfaulting my browsers every time I close a tab with some flash object in it  ?
[14:50] <DIL> byte_slave: if that is what you have let it run
[14:50] <wols_> !medibuntu | mib
[14:50] <Knightly88> how can I tell what my "max screen resolution" is?
[14:50] <Dr_Willis_> mib,  that path to the command has changed. and the howtos are not up to date. use the locate command to find the proper path is wha ti did befor
[14:50] <DIL> byte_slave: i hvae back ups to server then to tapes
[14:51] <mib> Dr willis: i check again
[14:51] <byte_slave> DIL, rsync ?
[14:51] <VSpike> wols_: there are a lot of packages with the word nvidia in them, and a lot with linux-restricted in them ... some are installed and some are not.  Which specific ones do I need?
[14:51] <mib> and its on  sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[14:51] <mib> when i run that..it said ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[14:51] <wols_> VSpike: the one with nvidia.ko in it
[14:51] <mib> and then when i try rerun the dvd, it gives the same error
[14:52] <VSpike> wols_: how do i find which package contains a specific file?
[14:52] <corporal_clegg> hello, how would ubuntu manage an iPod Touch?
[14:52] <wols_> dpkg -L for example
[14:52] <erUSUL> VSpike: dpkg -S /path/to/file
[14:52] <wols_> corporal_clegg: gtkpod for example
[14:52] <IdleOne> !ipod | corporal_clegg
[14:52] <erUSUL> VSpike: works if package is instaled if not you have to install and set up apt-file
[14:53] <corporal_clegg> could I update the firmware using ubuntu?
[14:53] <Knightly88> !screen resolution
[14:53] <erUSUL> !fixres
[14:53] <Knightly88> lol,
[14:53] <Dr_Willis_> mib,  i normally just follow http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands
[14:53] <cdavis> kestrel, ya but it doesn't start up at the next boot
[14:53] <mib> dr willis: do you restart after that
[14:54] <Elijah> jrib, I did a    --->        aptitude search '~nlinux-image~i'                          in gnome-terminal and nothing happens
[14:54] <wols_> mib: you only restart if the kernel has changed or new hardware is installed
[14:54] <wols_> dpkg -l |grep linux-image |grep ^ii
[14:54] <erUSUL> Elijah: aptitude search linux-image | grep '^i'
[14:54] <jrib> Elijah: hard to believe, since that would mean you have no kernel installed, try what wols_ just said
[14:55] <mib> wols: do i need to install Xine?
[14:55] <mib> or that is enough?
[14:55] <wols_> you need a video playre to play any video...
[14:55] <Elijah> well, i did the gksudo gedit /boot...... first and then the second line was blank, so i entered it on the blank line
[14:56] <Elijah> it doesn't have the user name to strat off the line
[14:56] <mib> totem isnt a video player?
[14:56] <Elijah> how do i get the user name to start off the line again
[14:56] <the-herby_> what's the procedure to run fsck on the root filesystem?
[14:56] <wols_> the-herby_: sudo touch /forcefsck && reboot
[14:56] <Dr_Willis_> the-herby_,  i tend to boot a live cd to check them. Theres also a way you can make it auto check on the next reboot.
[14:56] <jrib> Elijah: ctrl-c.  This means you didn't close the quotes properly before in the previous command
[14:57] <wols_> or, remount / ro and fsck it
[14:57] <Dr_Willis_> the-herby_,  thats what  the forcefsck does. :)
[14:57] <cdavis> How can I select the first 7 characters of a field with a mysql query?
[14:57] <Elijah> hmm, when i hit reset and clear in terminal it gives me a blank terminal, i cannot even sude m y menu.lst anymore
[14:57] <wols_> cdavis: #mysql
[14:57] <Elijah> i can't run any commands now
[14:57] <ianagui> someone could help me in an issue related to: ubuntu-server, port-forwarding, apache (basic)....
[14:57] <jrib> cdavis: try: /join #mysql
[14:57] <wols_> Elijah: open antoerh xterm
[14:57] <jrib> Elijah: did you hit ctrl-c?
[14:58] <the-herby_> i will try that. i had a forced check, but it said there was an error code 3 and fsck failed. i guess i might have to run fsck manually from a live cd then.
[14:58] <pencinta> killer angel
[14:58] <Elijah> jrib, now i did, sorry didn't get that at first
[14:58] <Elijah> thanks so much!
[14:58] <Elijah> I remember having that problem in the past
[14:58] <jrib> Elijah: you entered the original command either with too many quotes or not enough
[14:58] <Elijah> whay does it do that because i didn't close quotes?
[14:59] <Elijah> interesting
[14:59] <jrib> Elijah: it expects you to continue the input until you close the quotes
[14:59] <pencinta> hfgkkgkf
[14:59] <ianagui> got a broadband connection(cable): ISP modem connected to DI-604 router where i got a desktop ubuntu and a server...
[14:59] <Elijah> jrib, that makes sense now
[14:59] <Elijah> jrib,  what techincally does ctrl+c do?
[14:59] <Elijah> close quotes?
[14:59] <Starnestommy> Elijah: it interrupts
[15:00] <Estesark> ﻿Hi. I dual-boot Ubuntu and WinXP, and share many files between them. In my music collection I have a number of files with the question mark character (?) in them. Ubuntu/Rhythmbox can play these fine, but Windows/Winamp cannot. It'd be great for me to be able to search for all files that contain a question mark in their name so I can rename them easily, but that doesn't seem to work in the default Ubuntu Gnome search app, or Tracker (perhaps beca
[15:00] <Elijah> thanks jrib and starnes
[15:00] <ianagui> configured static dhcp for the server and port forwarding for http/https...
[15:01] <Freeman551> ﻿im having problems on my laptop, after resuming from suspend the wireless wont connect
[15:01] <ianagui> acessing port 80 on server through desktop works... externally (via external IP) does not work....
[15:01] <Elijah> jrib, ok, now your original command works
[15:01] <ianagui> someone?
[15:01] <Timoteo> ianagui it looks like a router configuration trouble
[15:02] <Elijah> it says i have 4 kernels installed
[15:02] <ianagui> Timoteo: could you help ?
[15:02] <Timoteo> ianagui do you speak spanish?
[15:02] <Elijah> one being a "Linux-image-generic", do i need that one too?
[15:02] <ianagui> Timoteo: portugese and english...
[15:03] <Timoteo> ianagui OK, i'll try in english, but it's not very good :-)
[15:03] <pencinta> hai besfren
[15:03] <ianagui> Timoteo: no problem...
[15:03] <Timoteo> ianagui Do you have a P2P program like eMule or BitTorrent configured on your PC?
[15:03] <jrib> Elijah: yes, that one ensures you get the latest kernel when you update
[15:03] <ianagui> Timoteo: amule
[15:04] <Timoteo> ianagui Did you need to access 192.168.1.1?
[15:04] <ianagui> Timoteo: whats this address for?
[15:05] <Elijah> jrib, gotcha
[15:05] <VSpike> Why would the nvidia kernel module get broken after a kernel update?  I thought that stuff didn't happen any more
[15:05] <Timoteo> ianagui Typing that IP on your desktop browser you will access to your router configuration (I think you've got a router, not a modem)
[15:05] <ianagui> Timoteo: my routers admin is 198.162.0.1
[15:06] <ianagui> Timoteo: have already config static DHCP for ubuntu server there...
[15:06] <Elijah> what does the     i      do after '~nlinux-image~i'     also why the      n     before linux
[15:06] <ianagui> Timoteo: ...and port forwarded apache ports 80 and 443
[15:06] <Timoteo> ianagui OK, that was the solution that I was going to give
[15:06] <Timoteo> ianagui Do you have Hardy or Gutsy, or another?
[15:07] <VSpike> erUSUL: would the command be "sudo apt-file search nvidia.ko"?
[15:07] <ianagui> Timoteo: desktop is 8.04...
[15:07] <ianagui> Timoteo: server too
[15:07] <Timoteo> ianagui and server?
[15:07] <Ad84> has any one got the time to teach me some basics of the terminal?
[15:07] <insurin> Should I install anti virus software on my ubuntu box?
[15:08] <howlingmadhowie> insurin: only if you're sharing files with windows computers
[15:08] <Timoteo> insurin It's not really necesary, but there is a Linux AVG.
[15:08] <VSpike> Ad84: there are some good beginners guides online
[15:08] <incorrect> has anyone got n-node replication working with slapd in hardy?
[15:08] <s_spiff> Ad84 there are several howto/tutorials out there on www. teaching someone even basics of the bash is a long tiresome process. instead ask around the command for a specific purpose, will be faster. :)
[15:08] <insurin> ok thanks,
[15:08] <Ad84> links
[15:09] <Timoteo> ianagui Please check the firewall's conf on server and desktop
[15:09] <freethinker> HI! can anyone tell me how i can change permissions on ubuntu, i am tring to write something on another partition
[15:09] <Ad84> kk,how do i install rpm.bin file?
[15:09] <howlingmadhowie> Ad84: sure, i'll teach you some stuff :)
[15:09] <ianagui> Timoteo: sorry but iam kind a begginer and dont know how to do that...
[15:09] <Ad84> will you howling?
[15:09] <VSpike> Ad84: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ubuntu+command+line+beginner
[15:09] <Ad84> pm me if you can:)
[15:10] <howlingmadhowie> Ad84: if you want to learn something about shell programming :)
[15:10] <Timoteo> ianagui OK, i'm looking for a doc...
[15:10] <freethinker> how can i change permissions to write on ubuntu?
[15:10] <Ad84> yes pls:)
[15:10] <Timoteo> freethinker chmod
[15:11] <freethinker> going to try that
[15:11] <Timoteo> ianagui I think that this doc is going to help you: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ufw-uncomplicated-firewall-for-ubuntu-hardy.html
[15:11] <freethinker> nothing
[15:11] <Timoteo> freethinker sudo chmod?
[15:11] <yvonuk> Hi there, a network question: I have two Ubuntu boxes (both 8.04) in different networks and they can talk to each other with openvpn. The problem is the client cannot visit server's subnet. I've added the server's subnet to route on client side and added iptables on server side using "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE", but still no avail. Anyone can help?
[15:12] <ianagui> Timoteo: so i think ... no firewall...
[15:12] <Bananmos> could anyone here give me an explanation on how X configuration really works in Ubuntu? I tried to enable SHMConfig in the xorg.conf file in order to run gsynaptics. Before doing so, I backed up my xorg.conf. Apparantly, adding the SHMConfig line crashed my X configuration so it reverted to low-res mode. And when I restored my old xorg.conf, it *still* only boots in low-res. :/
[15:13] <VSpike> wols_: apt-file search nvidia.ko returns nothing... any ideas?
[15:13] <rt73-ubuntu8> i have a ralink r73 usb wireless  adpater and i am running ubuntu 8.04 stock kernel 2.6.24-19 . have been googling for over an hour trying  to find an *easy to follow* ralink rt73 injection howto specific to ubuntu 8.04 but nothing so far
[15:13] <freethinker> can you say to mee something more simple please
[15:13] <Timoteo> ianagui On Hardy the firewall is ON by default; if you've tourned off manually I don't know
[15:13] <rt73-ubuntu8> as an ubuntu 8.04 stock kernel 2.6.24-19 user shall i follow the instructions on http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=mac80211&DokuWiki=195591fca1efeaf6cce567b4593a4111    ???
[15:13] <Timoteo> freethinker What files do you need to chmod?
[15:13] <freethinker> some photos
[15:14] <Timoteo> freethinker If you've created the files you can do this:
[15:14] <wols_> VSpike: the nvidia.ko file needs to be on your DISK not in a ubuntu repo. how did you install the nvidia drivers?
[15:14] <Timoteo> freethinker Gnome, KDE or XFCE?
[15:14] <freethinker> gnome
[15:14] <Elijah> i just tried removing an old kernal, it says i must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem
[15:14] <Elijah> oh first it said, dpkg was interrupted
[15:14] <andyca1> how to search manpages, ive tried "/keyword" but that results in "pattern not found". Am i missing something=
[15:15] <Timoteo> freethinker OK, on the folder where your photos are located, select all (Ctrl+A, I think), and right-click on one of the photos.
[15:15] <VSpike> wols_: i am trying to find which package provides it to check if i have that package installed
[15:15] <VSpike> wols_: restricted manager
[15:15] <Timoteo> freethinker A Nautilus window will be open, and inside it a "Permissions" tab (or something similar)
[15:15] <VSpike> wols_: they worked fine before kernel update
[15:15] <Timoteo> freethinker Click on it, and select the options that you need.
[15:15] <VSpike> wols_: this is basically a clean install of 8.04
[15:16] <sanity> rt73-ubuntu8:  You trying to get arp traffic injection to work?
[15:16] <wols_> dpkg -l |grep nvidia
[15:16] <ianagui> Timoteo: since i installed ubuntu-server with lamp it should by default allow for external traffic on port 80 (apache). Is it allright?
[15:16] <VSpike> wols_: nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-kernel-common
[15:17] <Timoteo> ianagui Then I don't know... Sorry. But you can try opening the ports on the firewall...
[15:17] <Elijah> wols_, was that at me?
[15:17] <ianagui> Timoteo: ok thanks.
[15:17] <Unimatrix9> how would i set wireless to throttle? is it supported?
[15:17] <Unimatrix9> !wireless
[15:18] <Elijah> jrib, i removed the old kernel and get a dpkg interrupted error
[15:18] <jrib> Elijah: did you run the command it said?
[15:18] <Xpistos> I need some help with something that is driving me nuts: ﻿﻿Is there a way so that when I minimize my window instead of it being .1 mm smaller, it will shrink to about 1/4 the size of the maximized window as a default?
[15:18] <freethinker> the problem is that i cant copy to another partition
[15:18] <Timoteo> ok
[15:19] <freethinker> i want to copy the files from sda3/ to sda4/
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> freethinker you can do a dd copy
[15:19] <trippss> I've lost my battery meter up in the right hand corner on hardy heron using gnome. how do I restore it?
[15:19] <freethinker> but got no permission to do that
[15:19] <jrib> freethinker: what filesystem is on sda4?
[15:19] <Elijah> jrib,  i ran sudo aptitude purge linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic,  however, the first 2 times i missed generic and then image respectively, it did a bunch of stuff and said evolution was broken, blah blah do you accept this answer
[15:19] <freethinker> i can copy but not to sda4
[15:20] <Timoteo> trippss Right--click on the panel, Add to panel...
[15:20] <freethinker> none just files
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> freethinker or are you talking just some files not cloning the partition
[15:20] <Elijah> jrib, i said no a few times and then hit ctrl+c and started ovr
[15:20] <Unimatrix9> files, just burn them to dvd?
[15:20] <Timoteo> trippss Look for the battery meter, and drag it to the right place
[15:20] <freethinker> some files
[15:20] <andyca1> How to search manpages. /keyword doesnt seem to work, it gives me pattern not found while the word is there!!
[15:20] <jrib> Elijah: those errors are unrelated to you removing the kernels.  You need to resolve them first.  Did it not ask you to run dpkg --configure -a?
[15:21] <Starnestommy> andyca1: / is for searching forwards.  Backwards searches use ?
[15:21] <Timoteo> freethinker Have you tried sudo chmod?
[15:21] <Elijah> jrib, yes
[15:21] <trippss> Timoteo, I can never do that; right clicking always gets an existing icon with remove from panel. where can you click to avoid what's there
[15:21] <jrib> andyca1: it's case sensitive
[15:21] <Unimatrix9> is there an way on the gui to set wireless speed ? for example 11 mbns
[15:21] <Jack_Sparrow> freethinker First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and typing cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition  (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to v
[15:21] <Jack_Sparrow> erify the permissions are set
[15:21] <jrib> Elijah: pastebin the errors you get and the command you run
[15:21] <Elijah> jrib, should i run that command for dpkg
[15:21] <freethinker> yes but nothing i could understand
[15:21] <jrib> Elijah: yes
[15:21] <Elijah> pastebin?
[15:21] <wols_> VSpike: there should be a nvidia-kernel package. for example there is nvidia-kernel-source but with it you had to compile your own mdoule from it.
[15:22] <jrib> !pastebin > Elijah (read the private message from ubottu)
[15:22] <freethinker> what about on menu sytem - adiminstration-autorizations
[15:22] <Timoteo> trippss Right-click on a free place on the panel, not over an element (like the clock or another icon)
[15:22] <sinan> Anyone has an any idea what the "load" parameter in System Monitor actually reflects?
[15:22] <freethinker> i have tried in the pass change this
[15:22] <wols_> sinan: mostly rubbish
[15:22] <trippss> Timoteo, the panel is tightly compacted and there is no space other than the elements.
[15:22] <freethinker> but still the same
[15:22] <jimmygoon> Should I install icedtea or sun java 7?
[15:22] <sinan> wols_: lol. Any equation for this rubbish ? :P
[15:22] <wols_> jimmygoon: right, now, sun's
[15:23] <jrib> jimmygoon: install the one you want.
[15:23] <Elijah> jrib, sweet! It is on a seperate computer, the ubuntu doesn't work with my sprint usb modem and i can't get internet connection sharing with this vista laptop so it doesn't have any internnet
[15:23] <wols_> sinan: in the uptime source probably
[15:23] <Elijah> jrib, after i get booot menu fixed i hope to at least enable ics
[15:23] <trippss> Timoteo, everything's locked too. do I need to unlock like 5 icons, move them to the left in order to insert an icon and then move them back and lock them? I've always thought this behavior was clunky
[15:24] <freethinker> ok i will try
[15:24] <caldo_de_cana> hello
[15:24] <Unimatrix9> sun java
[15:25] <caldo_de_cana> I just installed ubuntu on a macbook. I have followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook but still can't get the sound to work
[15:25] <caldo_de_cana> I get the controls, all is unmuted and in max volume, but I still get no sound out of the speakers
[15:26] <Zaiden> When I restart my computer, the resolution always sets itself to 1024x768, since that's the highest it'll go in the screen resolution menu, but I always set it to 1280x1024 in the nvidia settings menu. Is there a way to fix it so It'll always be at 1280x1024?
[15:26] <jpease_weekend> morning
[15:27] <atomkarinca> Zaiden, start nvidia-settings with root priviliges "sudo nvidia-settings", make the changes and hit "Save X to configuration file"
[15:27] <jpease> anyone know if there will be packages released to address yesterdays Ruby security alert?
[15:27] <sanity> !compiz
[15:28] <VSpike> wols_: all the nvidia-kernel packages are virtual, apart from nvidia-kernel-command, n-k-source and n-k-source-envy
[15:28] <VSpike> wols_: s/commmand/common
[15:28] <trippss> please someone explain the notification panel. it seems to me it behaves differently than the regular panel. i.e., when I unlock the divider and move it, all the icons locked to that panel move with it. how to I specifically add a notification icon to _that_ panel and not the regular panel?
[15:28] <Unimatrix9> is RTS thr:off , the wireless setting for throttle the network speed?
[15:29] <runemaste644> for some reason my Internet doesnt want to work today
[15:29] <freethinker> i couldnt made that
[15:29] <orphean> trippss: the notification panel is somewhat like the system tray in windows. applications add their own icons to it.
[15:29] <trippss> orphean, right. how do I add or tie an icon to _that_panel?
[15:29] <runemaste644> how can I fix it
[15:29] <orphean> trippss: if you want a particular application to show up there while it's running and it doesn't you can use things like 'alltray' to put it there.
[15:30] <freethinker> can you teel me a easiest way to do it?
[15:30] <orphean> trippss: but it'll only show up while its running... its not going to stick around
[15:30] <wols_> VSpike: what is a virtual package?
[15:30] <trippss> orphean, I'm trying to add the battery monitor which should be there always
[15:30] <ompaul> !security | jpease
[15:30] <raffaele> ciao
[15:30] <hiptobecubic> is there a way to reestablish the wine menu items in gnome? i deleted them somehow
[15:30] <raffaele> !list
[15:30] <trippss> orphean, when I add it, it adds to the panel but not to that notification area which is all tied together
[15:30] <orphean> trippss: the battery monitor is just a panel applet. it can't go there.
[15:30] <x2> hi
[15:31] <jpease> ompaul: thanks
[15:31] <trippss> orphean, it's always been there
[15:31] <peter86> hello, my sound doesnt work
[15:31] <freethinker> anyone ....please
[15:31] <VSpike> wols_: it means it doesn't contain anything - it's satisfied by another package
[15:31] <caldo_de_cana> peter86: are your speakers plugged in?
[15:31] <orphean> trippss: Afaik, its never been there on any ubuntu i've used, ever.
[15:32] <peter86> caldo_de_cana, yes
[15:32] <wols_> VSpike: that's a meta package. and nvidia-kernel-'version' would conftain something: your nvidia.ko file
[15:32] <freethinker> how can i write from sda3 to sda4 in gnome?
[15:32] <VSpike> wols_: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-18-generic contains the nvidia kernel modules
[15:32] <trippss> orphean, it's been there on this laptop since gutsy and just disappeared this week for no reason. oh well . . .
[15:32] <Cheesypieces> hi guys, how do i get nautilus to show previews of open office documents?
[15:32] <caldo_de_cana> peter86: well, then. given the information we have, there's no possible way we can help
[15:32] <wols_> VSpike: if it does, load it
[15:32] <runemaste644> neither my wifi or Ethernet connections feel like working today, how can I make them work
[15:32] <jrib> freethinker: you never answered my question about what filesystem is on sda4
[15:32] <VSpike> wols_:  there are no nvidia-kernel-<version> modules on hardy
[15:32] <peter86> caldo_de_cana, good to hear that :)
[15:32] <caldo_de_cana> peter86: that means: give us more info
[15:32] <orphean> trippss: i know what you want.
[15:33] <wols_> VSpike: there are source ones, and guess what this source makes when you feed it to m-a
[15:33] <orphean> trippss: open System->Preferences->Power Management  then go to the General tab
[15:33] <freethinker> jrib:none file system just external 3 with some files, but i got another distribuition on sda1 with mint
[15:33] <orphean> trippss: choose 'Always Display an icon' in the Notification Area part of that window
[15:33] <gnumm> does the upgrade from kde4.0.3 to 4.1 (with ppa repos) work without problems?
[15:34] <peter86> caldo_de_cana, well... Im trying to listen mp3 file using totem
[15:34] <gnumm> or should i upgrade from 4.0.5(backports) to 4.1?
[15:34] <peter86> caldo_de_cana, player is working, but there is no sound
[15:34] <freethinker> jrib:but i want to copy files to sda4
[15:34] <jrib> freethinker: huh? ext3 is the filesystem?
[15:34] <trippss> orphean, yes!! thanks. about to go batty there
[15:34] <caldo_de_cana> peter86: did sound ever work? what computer do you have? what version of ubuntu are you running? what's your sound chipset?
[15:34] <VSpike> wols_: that package is loaded, and I have the module too, but when I modprobe it I get an error
[15:34] <trippss> no pun intended of course ;)
[15:34] <runemaste644> never mind it fixed itself
[15:34] <VSpike> wols_: why on earth would I need to build a module from source?
[15:34] <orphean> trippss: sorry i got thrown off track when the battery panel app thing was brought up :)
[15:35] <katya^^> is there a specific kernel module I need to load for my sata drives (ICH8/ITE8211F controllers) workin during ubuntu install
[15:35] <Boopop> can someone help me sort out hfs+ folder permissions?
[15:35] <wols_> VSpike: you must think I have a crystal ball and therefore already know what your error is
[15:35] <freethinker> jrib:no , no i dont have any O.S. in sda4?
[15:35] <katya^^> I figured that would be automated by now since it's getting to be pretty old
[15:35] <peter86> caldo_de_cana, while running self computer test - I heard sound. My ubuntu is 8.10, realtek onabord
[15:35] <wols_> VSpike: custom kernels mainly
[15:35] <trippss> awesome. now on to problem #2 :)
[15:35] <VSpike> wols_: FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia_new
[15:35] <jrib> freethinker: you need to format sda4 with some filesystem.  You don't need any operating system
[15:35] <freethinker> jrib:the type of i do not know how to say its external 3
[15:35] <yoshimit> guys, I need help. I cant install or activate the new Nvidia driver on my Ubuntu 8.04 64 bits... Help, please...
[15:36] <jrib> freethinker: how did you format it?
[15:36] <freethinker> jrib:i can acess to sda$4
[15:36] <foool> hi - I am totally new to linux but want to learn it. I burned the CD and tried to install on a computer with a blank HD I am getting a buffer I/O error on fd0 anyone know what is happening. I did a check on the disk and it burned correctly.
[15:36] <Boopop> Anybody?
[15:36] <VSpike> wols_: good point, but I don't have a custom kernel - just the generic one
[15:36] <jrib> freethinker: ok.  Pastebin the output of 'mount'
[15:36] <katya^^> /dev/fd0 is your floppy drive, generally
[15:36] <freethinker> jrib: i formated with ext3
[15:37] <Unimatrix9> foool, could you turn off floppy drive in bios?
[15:37] <raffaele> !list
[15:37] <wols_> what "install" command?
[15:37] <foool> i have floppy disabled - it doesn't have one
[15:37] <jrib> freethinker: and do you just want your user to have read, write, execute permissions?
[15:37] <katya^^> oems should really provide floppies for people :P
[15:37] <freethinker> jrib: yes !!
[15:37] <trippss> hibernate does not restore correctly on my laptop since I resized my swap partition. everything looks ok. It just boots up like a cold boot. how do I fix?
[15:37] <jrib> !permissions > freethinker (read the private message from ubottu)
[15:37] <lee__> hi does anyone have any experience programming SDL?
[15:38] <jrib> freethinker: use chown/chmod appropriately on the mount point (with the partition mounted there) for the permissions you want
[15:38] <VSpike> wols_: < wols_> what "install" command? << was that to me?
[15:38] <Unimatrix9> fools : when you wait a while , it does not start after all, ?
[15:38] <Unimatrix9> foools : what kind of pc is it?
[15:38] <sanity> lee__: Yes a while ago on my Zaurus (linux pda)
[15:38] <jrib> freethinker: feel free to ask for more details if you aren't sure of what you need to do after reading that wiki page
[15:39] <foool> unimatrix9 how long wait
[15:39] <freethinker> ok
[15:39] <Unimatrix9> foool , it takes a while, becuase of the error, ...
[15:39] <freethinker> no i have go away but later i will read
[15:39] <foool> it is a median with a 80gig HD (year old)
[15:39] <VSpike> wols_:  that was modprobe, which calls install /sbin/lrm_vidio nvidia_new
[15:40] <Unimatrix9> foool. what the pc, ah a medion?
[15:40] <foool> i will try it and get back to you
[15:40] <wols_> VSpike: is this envy?
[15:40] <VSpike> wols_: no
[15:40] <VSpike> wols_: looks like i was bitten by Bug #198622.  "sudo depmod" fixes the problem
[15:40] <wols_> then they shis lrm_ binary thing?
[15:40] <Unimatrix9> foool, no usb devices connected ?
[15:41] <VSpike> wols_: it's the output of "modprobe -v"
[15:41] <foool> nothing - mouse keyboard monitor thats it
[15:41] <Cheesypieces> guys, how do i make it so that when i add/remove a program through synaptic its is automatically added/removed from the main menu?
[15:41] <VSpike> wols_: but it's solved - it's just a broken update caused by an ubuntu bug
[15:41] <Stormx2> Cheesypieces: That happens anyway
[15:41] <VSpike> wols_: thanks again
[15:41] <Unimatrix9> foool , how many drives connected?
[15:41] <lee__> please has anybody experience doing opengl graphics programming through SDL??
[15:41] <wols_> still don't get that lrm thing
[15:41] <katya^^> lee: have you tried in #sdl ? :p
[15:41] <wols_> lee__: wrong channel. go into aSDL channel
[15:41] <lee__> cheers
[15:42] <foool> one HD 2 partitions
[15:42] <Cheesypieces> Stormx2: not for me it doesn't, any idea how i can switch this function back on?
[15:42] <Unimatrix9> ok
[15:42] <foool> back soon
[15:42] <Stormx2> Cheesypieces: There's no way of switching it off. Some apps won't add themselves, some will
[15:42] <Stormx2> depends on the app.
[15:43] <yaohuan> anbody?
[15:43] <Cheesypieces> Stormx2: none of my apps do it - its very frustrating!
[15:43] <Dr_Willis_> all the app does i belive is create a  ITEM.desktop file in the right dir . to get added to the menus
[15:43] <Dr_Willis_> gnome and kde sometimes fails to notice the newly added .desktop file.
[15:43] <Stormx2> Really?
[15:43] <Stormx2> :/
[15:43] <Unimatrix9> foools : boot with the cdrom, at the first screen , where you choose language hit f6
[15:44] <Dr_Willis_> I belive the freedesktop.org site has details on the .desktop file format
[15:44] <Stormx2> Cheesypieces, tried logging out and back in?
[15:44] <Dr_Willis_> Its just a simple text file. :)
[15:44] <elementz> does anybody know what 'plughw' does? i need to adjust the audio settings in avidemux
[15:44] <Unimatrix9> foools : choose to boot with the code noapic
[15:45] <Cheesypieces> Stormx2: yep, still does the same thing
[15:45] <elementz> how do i find the correct values for plugwh? in my audiosettings/ alsa setup?
[15:45] <benzs_s> hello chaps
[15:45] <PLC> Rheu :)
[15:45] <benzs_s> to get my new creative zen 8gb recognised, i have to run gnomad2 as root. does anybody know why this is
[15:45] <Unimatrix9> foools or noapic nolapic acpi=off
[15:45] <Stormx2> Cheesypieces: What apps have you tried installing? Some won't add themselves to the menu
[15:45] <velko> elementz, it represents your hardware (the sound card) in you gstreamer pipeline
[15:45]  * PLC cherche expert en chmod chown :D
[15:45] <Unimatrix9> foools try and see if that helps
[15:45] <elementz> velko, thx
[15:45] <PLC> oups
[15:45] <PLC> sorry
[15:46] <PLC> it's wrong channel :p
[15:46] <Unimatrix9> foools , since you have an medion, i think there is also an option in the bios to trun off the boot from usb , wich is essentialy your usb card reader
[15:46] <elementz> velko, so, how do i find the correct configuration for avidemux? at the moment it has the following values under ALSA-Device: plughw:0,0
[15:47] <Unimatrix9> foools, you could also try to un connect the card reader from the motherboard, when the power is off, make sure you know how to connect it again, just to try if that might help
[15:47] <velko> elementz, i guess you don't have to correct it for avidemux. fire gstreamer-properties and correct the problem there
[15:48] <boris> hello. ive got crappy sound on ubuntu. a fix is to set ALSA PCM n front:0 in Volume control to three fourths, but it only works until reboot. help pls
[15:48] <Cheesypieces> Stormx2: i've been playing around a bit lately so at various different times i've added or removed firefox, opera, google earth, rythmbox, amsn, evolution mail, freecol, and probably a few other. every time i do it i have to do the menus manually as well
[15:48] <Stormx2> Cheesypieces: Whack.
[15:48] <Stormx2> One moment.

[15:53] <armon_> hi, all, I am using gtk, i want to change the focus with keypress, (up, down, left, right, enter), any idea or reference?
[15:53] <mib> in Xine, it said The source cant be read..Maybe you dont have enough rights for this
[15:53] <stodan> video playback with zoom is pixelated, no antialiasing or sth, on previous install it was ok...
[15:53] <Unimatrix9> sidewalk http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/05/how-to-rip-mp3-cd-using-sound-juicer-ubuntu-tips.html
[15:53] <sidewalk> what good convert-tools are there to convert wav to mp3 ?
[15:53] <stodan> both in totem and totem gstreamer
[15:53] <Stormx2> sidewalk, lame?
[15:53] <velko> sidewalk, soundconverter? but it's not for cd ripping. it just converts files from one format to another
[15:54] <Unimatrix9> sidewalk did you see the url?
[15:54] <Stormx2> sidewalk, lame -V 0 -h yourfile.wav yourfile.mp3
[15:54] <foool> unimatrix9 - hey!! you were right floppy. Now I get to Busybox
[15:54] <fu> I have got a trouble mounting USB
[15:54] <zipper> What cd or dvd image should i download in order to get a kernel with SMP support? (intel Core 2 duo)
[15:54] <Unimatrix9> cool!
[15:54] <mib> hwhen i use totem , the error given to me is the source seems encrypted, and cant be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?
[15:54] <foool> now i am lost haha!!
[15:55] <howlingmadhowie> zipper: to the best of my knowledge, all ubuntu kernels are compiled with smp support
[15:55] <Unimatrix9> !libdvdcss
[15:55] <fu> The volume uses 'NIDHIN' uses the f file system which is not supported by your system.
[15:55] <riadh_> salut
[15:55] <sidewalk> velko: can i use sound-juicer just to make a wav to mp3 ?

[15:57] <Unimatrix9> fu is the usb plugged in?
[15:57] <fu> :-(
[15:57] <simplyubuntu> howlingmadhowie hey. so I've made some progress on the issue.
[15:57] <mib> UNimatrix, how?
[15:57] <howlingmadhowie> simplyubuntu: do tell

[15:58] <Unimatrix9> fu : whats the error that the usb gives?
[15:58] <Maimster> Morning all.
[15:58] <fu> lots of things .. no error
[15:58] <smacnay> Hi, I set up an older P4 with ubuntu 8 and would like to make it into my music/photo/movie server.  I could nfs export the particular dir but is there a better way to share multimedia from a linux machine to other lin machines (and possibly win machines) on a local net?
[15:58] <simplyubuntu> howlingmadhowie after pressing ctrl d I boot normally though and can log in w/o having to mount anything
[15:58] <Shubbar> how can i install a package from Ubuntu cd-rom? "network manager"
[15:58] <Unimatrix9> mib : try install mplayer, then insert the dvd, and choose to play with mplayer
[15:59] <smacnay> I know ssh is working on the ubuntu box but am now learning that it won't boot without a monitor attached.
[15:59] <howlingmadhowie> simplyubuntu: that's still less than ideal. what was wrong with it?
[15:59] <Unimatrix9> mib see if that helps
[15:59] <mib> unimatrix: i try on Xine just now
[15:59] <peter86> god damned, I thought ubuntu is so genious easy ;)
[15:59] <mib> but it doesnt help
[15:59] <fu> I can see it mounted ...
[15:59] <Unimatrix9> Shubbar . insert the cdrom , package manager should see it, and asks if you want it as source
[15:59] <katya^^> peter: apparently the new version of ubuntu is a little wonky
[16:00] <fu> but cannot open it .. shows this error msg " The volume 'NIDHIN' uses the f file system which is not supported by your system.
[16:00] <simplyubuntu> howlingmadhowie don't know.... my brother turned on the computer and he said he just pressed ctrl d and logged in. subsequent boots (thanks to power outs) proved that. earlier when I logged in after ctrl d, it said your home dir can't be found...
[16:00] <fu> Unimatrix :please help
[16:00] <simplyubuntu> howlingmadhowie either way, it's a step :{
[16:00] <Maimster> smacnay I would run Samba for Windows, and NFS for Linux machines.
[16:00] <simplyubuntu> :P I mean
[16:00] <katya^^> whats with dropping support for ppc too
[16:01] <elementz> how can use the 'find -name "*SomeFile*", that it ignores wether a letter is a capital or not?
[16:01] <katya^^> thats mean to us ibook owners :(
[16:01] <Shubbar> unimatrix9: synaptic started when i inserted it, but didnt ask as source, guess it is, but still didn't installed but tried to download
[16:01] <benzs_s> why does gnomad need to be run as root to recognise my creative zen ?
[16:01] <smacnay> Maimster, thanks for the tip - what about mpd for music?  Would that work or are there very few clients that can access mpd?
[16:01] <fu> the drive mounted bfore  i added a few movies and it is not working ...
[16:01] <Maimster> smacnay Sorry to say that I don't know what mpd is.
[16:01] <riddlebox> hrmm after i did updates my wireless card doesnt seem to work
[16:01] <Unimatrix9> Shubbar , go to system / software sources
[16:01] <Starnestommy> elementz: use -iname instead of -name
[16:02] <Unimatrix9> Shubbar and uncheck all online sources , untill you only have the cdrom as source
[16:02] <velko> fu, "the f file system"? are you sure? i never heard of such file system...
[16:02] <fu> can anybody tell me what is an f file system ?
[16:02] <howlingmadhowie> simplyubuntu: yeah. but it would be nice to know what's going on
[16:02] <smacnay> Maimster, thanks - I wll look into your suggestion.

[16:27] <foool> anyone help for my problem?
[16:28] <Gohanx3> polygon89: thanks, then theres something wrong with my system, 10GB sounds way too much for a simple .net install with a few updates
[16:28] <amenado> Gohanx3-> df -h or du -h will tell you usage
[16:28] <yabuk> what program should I use to copy a encrypted DVD on Ubuntu?

[16:29] <Gohanx3> wont load here
[16:29] <krono2k5> is there a how to guide for samba and ldap with ubuntu
[16:30] <jrib> Faust-C: try #vbox.  I believe the ose (open source edition) does not give you usb by the way
[16:30] <Faust-C> jrib: thats messed up but lemme try thx

[16:32] <lopin> Hello!  I'm putting together a desktop for a friend with a low low power computer.  He wants a very light weight and feature-less word processor.  He was upset with Abiword.  Is there another one I can use for him?  An alternative to wordpad?
[16:32] <b4l7424r> can i apply individual nvidia-settings parameters directly to my xorg file such as XVideoTextureSyncToVBlank=1 ?
[16:32] <gordonjcp> lopin: pyroom
[16:32] <Gohanx3> polygon89: http://code.bulix.org/lusc8c-67161
[16:32] <peter86> Halo halo
[16:32] <peter86> are you here?
[16:32] <rsk> lopin: wine has a native notepad, maybe that works
[16:32] <lopin> gordonjcp: Thank you!
[16:32] <gordonjcp> lopin: pyroom is similar to writeroom on the Mac
[16:32] <gordonjcp> it's about as minimal and feature-less as you can get ;-)
[16:33] <jrib> lopin: mousepad ?
[16:33] <lopin> rsk: Notepad is just a little too few features.  He want's rich-text, but Abiword is too much, cause he's all confused...
[16:33] <polygon89> Gohanx3, it says only 3.2 gb is used?
[16:33] <Gohanx3> polygon89: its weird
[16:33] <rsk> what about vim emacs and such?
[16:33] <lopin> jrib: Thank you, but mousepad is like notepad.  Personally, I have that on my server downstairs...
[16:33] <rsk> gvim mayb e
[16:33] <polygon89> Gohanx3, try restarting, it might be stuff in /tmp
[16:33] <Gohanx3> if I right click on my hdd it says 10GB in use
[16:33] <Gohanx3> polygon89: I already did a few minutes ago
[16:33] <lopin> I think I'm going to look into pyroom...
[16:33] <polygon89> Gohanx3, what does disk usage analyzer say?
[16:34] <polygon89> Gohanx3, try having it scan root
[16:34] <krono2k5> is there a how to guide for samba and ldap with ubuntu

[16:35] <colaser> Sorry for repeating my question, but it's been 10 minutes: I'm trying to upgrade to Hardy, but aptitude dist-upgrade tells me to reinstall acpid, and aptitude reinstall acpid tells me to manually fix it. How do I get this working?
[16:35] <ash7> sometimes all the multimedia playback on my ubuntu stops, all i can see is video moving at 2 frames per second and no audio. restarting is the only way out. why does this happen?
[16:35] <polygon89> colaser, try sudo apt-get install -f
[16:35] <ash7> and how can i solve this ?
[16:35] <polygon89> colaser, should try and automatically fix any packaging problems
[16:35] <lopin> colaser: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a ?
[16:35] <colaser> Thanks. I'll try it.
[16:36] <mib> i wanted to know how can i play my dvd using mplayer?
[16:36] <polygon89> ash7, do you get direct rendering on your video card?
[16:36] <lopin> mib you need the Ubuntu-restricted-extras package
[16:36] <polygon89> lopin, that doesnt include dvd playback...
[16:36] <jrib> mib: mplayer dvd://1      where 1 is whatever chapter you want (after you have installed dvdcss)
[16:36] <lopin> mib so you can decode the dvd.
[16:36] <lopin> polygon89: when did they take that out?!
[16:36] <bazhang> !dvd | mib
[16:36] <cyzie> what is the version and build for firefox in hardy ?
[16:36] <polygon89> lopin, they have never had it in.
[16:36] <mib> ive try that link
[16:37] <mib> and its not working
[16:37] <mib> :(
[16:37] <polygon89> lopin, you have always needed to install libdvdcss
[16:37] <bazhang> cyzie, see /topic
[16:37] <lopin> polygon89: wow!  Huh...
[16:37] <mib> ive install the libdvdcss2
[16:37] <colaser> apt-get install -f gives me a bunch of errors of the form "/etc/init.d/acpid: 100: cannot create /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/{something}: Permission denied"
[16:37] <ash7> polygon89, i dont know what direct rendering means but i have enabled ATI drivers for running compiz
[16:37] <mib> it gives me libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB (0x00003460)
[16:37] <mib> and those errors..
[16:37] <cyzie> bazhang, OK!
[16:37] <polygon89> ash7, type this in console and tell me waht it says: glxinfo | grep direct
[16:37] <sanity> Anyone seen a VLC skin with large buttons (for car computer / touchscreen)?
[16:37] <mib> when i did mplayer dvd://1
[16:37] <cyzie> bazhang, is a food?
[16:37] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I'm having difficulty with networking. Whenever I need to change my network settings, they won't work unless i restart the system. Why is this happening? I use the standard network manager for hardy. (nm-applet)
[16:37] <mynetdude> I reinstalled ubuntu yesterday because I had 64bit edition, now I have the 32bit edition... when I searched the repos for frostwire (I'm sure thats where I found it last time) it is not in the repos now shouldn't it be in the repos?
[16:38] <polygon89> mib, that means its having trouble decoding the dvd...is it a real dvd or a rip?
[16:38] <mib> bazhang indeed is a food
[16:38] <mib> shoule be real dvd
[16:38] <colaser> I'm trying dpkg-reconfigure -a now.
[16:38] <BENADN> yo
[16:38] <mib> its a video dvd
[16:38] <ash7> polygon89, direct rendering: Yes
[16:38] <cedricshock> Hi. I'm trying to mount a partition in a hard drive image. I can mount the first and other early partitions of an image using loopback and an offset, but later partitions don't mount. I'm pretty much dead sure I've got my offsets right, and I've used this image before. Any ideas?
[16:38] <polygon89> mib, try playing it with vlc and see if it plays
[16:38] <mib> hmm..
[16:38] <polygon89> ash7, hmm. sorry  i dont know what else there could be, there could be a ton of things causing it...
[16:39] <raffaele> ciao
[16:39] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I'm having difficulty with networking. Whenever I need to change my network settings, they won't work unless i restart the system. Why is this happening? I use the standard network manager for hardy. (nm-applet)

[16:39] <Cheesypieces> hi guys, any idea how i can improve the performance of flash videos in opera?
[16:39] <WhoNeedszzz> shaiguitar: use synaptic to search for it
[16:39] <ash7> polygon89, ok but can i do away with restarting whole system to fix this. can i restat some subsystem?
[16:39] <carrera> Greetings Earthlings!
[16:40] <polygon89> ash7, if you can try just restarting x, close everything important and ctrl+alt+backspace
[16:40] <carrera> any good text to speech apps for ubuntu?
[16:40] <mynetdude> I think there is already text to speech included with the default install
[16:40] <katya^^> define good, what are your needs :o

[16:41] <ash7> polygon89, if this helps, i just installed vlc and it seems to work fine. but totem is still the same
[16:41] <mynetdude> why is frostwire not in the repos? I'm sure I found that in the repos yesterday and now it isn't there
[16:41] <bazhang> !it | alessio
[16:41] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I'm having difficulty with networking. Whenever I need to change my network settings, they won't work unless i restart the system. Why is this happening? I use the standard network manager for hardy. (nm-applet)
[16:42] <ash7> polygon89, can it be a problem with gstreamer pipeline
[16:42] <bazhang> !frostwire
[16:42] <alessio> ok thanks
[16:42] <bazhang> see above mynetdude
[16:42] <polygon89> ash7, yeah totem doenst play dvds very well. well if it plays in vlc maybe try reinstalling libdvdcss, maybe the install got borked or something. cause libdvdcss is compiled into vlc...
[16:42] <WhoNeedszzz> !ping
[16:42] <mynetdude> nevermind... thats not what I asked... but thats ok you go on polling your factoid
[16:43] <carrera> any text to speech app suggestions?

[16:43] <sanity> carrera: festival
[16:43] <ash7> polygon89, humm but the problem in totem comes with mp3, flv, avi
[16:43] <bazhang> mynetdude, it is not in the repos; there is a link for you to read
[16:43] <carrera> thanks sanity
[16:43] <sanity> !repeat
[16:43] <polygon89> WhoNeedszzz, you may start googling your network card name/model and see if anyone has the same problem
[16:44] <WhoNeedszzz> ash7, avoid totem all together, use vlc instead
[16:44] <polygon89> ash7, so you want to have totem play those?
[16:44] <WhoNeedszzz> polygon89, and you think i haven't done that?
[16:44] <carrera> sanity, this time, repeating helped!  ;)
[16:44] <polygon89> WhoNeedszzz, well it might be a bug with nm-applet for all we know
[16:45] <sanity> Yes, maybe but I have tts running on this channel.  And I am not disabled.
[16:46] <ash7> polygon89, its just that it i want it should work if its present
[16:46] <Krusader> i can't see window's shared folders. but i can browsing it by ip-address
[16:46] <oxi> hi
[16:46] <polygon89> ash7, hmm do you have the gstreamer-codecs installed? there are several packages that install support for codecs like that
[16:47] <WhoNeedszzz> what's the most reliable and stable network manager?
[16:47] <oxi> what os would you pick for a tiny vmware image that has java runtime environment without X?
[16:47] <Sockmonkey> Can someone help me get internet working with a sagem fast 800 modem? I've looked at guides and I can't follow and of them :/
[16:47] <polygon89> WhoNeedszzz, nm-applet works fine for me, but i hear wicd or something works too....might want to rsearch that
[16:47] <Krusader> ﻿ i can't see window's shared folders. but i can browsing it by ip-address. Please hepl me, brothers!
[16:48] <WhoNeedszzz> polygon89: what exactly do you do when you are connecting to a network?
[16:48] <ash7> polygon89, i will try restarting X
[16:48] <polygon89> WhoNeedszzz, well the first time i installed ubuntu, i clicked the little applet, selected my wireless network, entered my key and then it connected
[16:49] <polygon89> WhoNeedszzz, then after that nm-applet tries to connect to the best available network, or the only one i have a key for
[16:49] <WhoNeedszzz> polygon89: with roaming or not?
[16:49] <polygon89> WhoNeedszzz, im not sure, its just a normal wifi network
[16:49] <WhoNeedszzz> polygon89: i'm talking about the wireless mode of nm-applet
[16:49] <WhoNeedszzz> there is roaming and manual
[16:49] <polygon89> WhoNeedszzz, yeah it would be roaming
[16:50] <polygon89> WhoNeedszzz, i didnt manually edit the info for my network
[16:50] <shaiguitar> WhoNeedszzz, ( apt-get wireshark )
[16:50] <Cruzer> I recently installed Ubuntu 7.10, when it was finished installation I enabled my restricted drivers and set my resolution to 1440x900. After the reboot my monitor says Input not Supported( meaning the res is higher then my monitor can use) Now I can't use Ubuntu. How do I set my resolution smaller?
[16:50] <Starbucks> Hey again :( I still don't seem to be able to find a quick fix for my speedtouch 330 internet..
[16:50] <shaiguitar> anyone have experience with wireshark / ethereal ? (pm me if u want)
[16:51] <Starbucks> I've tried to download the files needed but the USB ADSL manager doesn't install...it says something about python and things...
[16:51] <seagull_man> does anyone here us transmission bit torrent client?
[16:51] <sethalton> anyone good with ubuntu server?
[16:51] <Akazawa> hey guys. I have a laptop here that has applications keep locking up and its not overheating or anything
[16:51] <polygon89> seagull_man, what about it?
[16:51] <WhoNeedszzz> shaiguitar: ...wireshark is for hacking...
[16:51] <sanity> Cruzer: try CTRL-ALT-NUMPAD(-)
[16:51] <bazhang> Cruzer, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[16:52] <Cruzer> I will try both
[16:52] <seagull_man> polygon89, i want to get a newer version but i can only access 1.06 throught synaptic
[16:52] <Cruzer> thanks alot
[16:52] <shaiguitar> WhoNeedszzz, it's only on the local intranet, and 'm at home.. i actually want to show it to my GF as she's learning something related in the university ;)
[16:52] <polygon89> seagull_man, you will either need to compile from source, or maybe find a newer deb on like getdeb.net
[16:52] <Akazawa> how do I find out what is going wrong with it?
[16:52] <seagull_man> polygon89, what is a deb?
[16:52] <polygon89> Akazawa, maybe check your ram....if random things keep crashing
[16:53] <polygon89> seagull_man, if you ever used windows, you used installers to install a program. A deb is a file that installs the files for an application in the right place
[16:53] <mynetdude> !frostwire
[16:53] <m1r> hi
[16:53] <seagull_man> polygon89, oh k
[16:53] <seagull_man> polygon89, so i look for a transmission deb on getdeb.net?
[16:53] <polygon89> seagull_man, yeah
[16:54] <seagull_man> polygon89, do i then have to add that to synaptic or something?
[16:54] <polygon89> seagull_man, after you download it. you cam just double click it
[16:54] <seagull_man> polygon89,  ok sweet,
[16:54] <seagull_man> polygon89, thanks heaps
[16:54] <polygon89> seagull_man, then it will bring up a window, you click install, enter password
[16:54] <seagull_man> poly ok
[16:54] <nick_> does anyone know how to install parallel printers (specifically DeskJet 720C) on Hardy?
[16:54] <seagull_man> polygon89, ok
[16:55] <polygon89> nick_, does detecting it through printing not work?
[16:55] <Starbucks> phaedra: You still here please?
[16:55] <nick_> no.  there's no option to choose a locally connected printer manually either.

[16:59] <ActionParsnip> esteth: id check xorg.conf out, it'll say there
[16:59] <esteth> ActionParsnip, my Xorg.conf doesn't mention a driver
[16:59] <Rayvis> How do I get into the filesystem as root? I did it once but can't remember how. I want to add some backgrounds to the backgrounds folder but I don't have permission
[17:00] <r2s> why gedit 2.22.3 code comment not working on ruby/rails??
[17:00] <esteth> Rayvis, "gksudo nautilus" at a terminal
[17:01] <Rayvis> esteth: Thanks
[17:01] <peter86> I have problem... sound under firefox doesnt working. I try to listen music from youtube
[17:01] <Reformer81> Rayvis: Why not just keep them in your /home/ directory where they belong?
[17:02] <WhoNeedszzz> I just installed wicd. It says it has a tray icon but I see no tray icon. What's up with that?
[17:03] <peter86> przepraszam, czy jest tu jakis polak?
[17:03] <Reformer81> !info wicd
[17:03] <joaopinto> WhoNeedszzz, have you started it ? it will not add the tray icon until it's started
[17:03] <WhoNeedszzz> yes i did start it
[17:03] <Yooshi> grrrr
[17:03] <joaopinto> hum, there is no wicd package
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> peter86: do you have sound in other flash apps
[17:04] <Reformer81> joaopinto: Yeah... I have no idea what he's talking about either :)
[17:04] <joaopinto> it was probably built from source
[17:04] <Yooshi> !p2p
[17:04] <WhoNeedszzz> joaopinto: nope, there is a apt line to add
[17:05] <Yooshi> !gnutella
[17:05] <joaopinto> WhoNeedszzz, ok, you used a 3rd party repos
[17:05] <WhoNeedszzz> but i got the tray working
[17:05] <WhoNeedszzz> yes
[17:05] <Reformer81> joaopinto: Hmm... it's a network manager for linux... strange that he'd use that instead of the one that's supported.
[17:05] <joaopinto> WhoNeedszzz, sorry, i am not familiar with that app
[17:06]  * Yooshi is so dumbfounded that frostwire doesn't work
[17:06] <peter86> ActionParsnip, no
[17:06] <Yooshi> even on 32bit
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> peter86: is the sound muted in youtube?
[17:06] <Erosion> !irssi
[17:06] <legend2440> nick_ the deskjet 720c isn't listed as an option in system>administration >printing? are you using hardy?

[17:07] <WhoNeedszzz> ok now another question. I'm using the battery monitor plugin for xfce but it won't display time remaining. It constantly shows 00:00
[17:07] <WhoNeedszzz> why is that?
[17:07] <WhoNeedszzz> !pong
[17:07] <winter-mute> hi anyone having problems with ati drivers?
[17:07] <Reformer81> WhoNeedszzz: This is the Ubuntu support channel... many people here do not use XFCE and therefore you'd be better off asking in #xubuntu
[17:07] <psyco> lool
[17:08] <winter-mute> i want to downgrade my X server to 1.3... i wonder how to do that
[17:08] <WhoNeedszzz> Reformer81: that would be true if the people in #xubuntu actually were paying attention and help
[17:08] <peter86> ActionParsnip, not
[17:08] <Reformer81> WhoNeedszzz: Well, asking in here is useless and inappropriate.
[17:08] <nick_> (well it tells me the job's been submitted but there's no activity either from the printer or the hdd after that)
[17:09] <Harde_> Where can I modify splash in boot?
[17:09] <starbucks> yey hello everyone im using ubuntu to type this :):)
[17:09] <winter-mute> I have HARDY, Xorg 1.4 and 8.4 ATI drivers, wonder if anyone has resolved opengl issue for that for dualhead system
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> peter86: try emptying the temporary internet files
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> peter86: do you have any other audio apps running??
[17:09] <peter86> ActionParsnip, no

[17:10] <starbucks> Guys I still can't get my nvidia 8500GT drivers to work...:S can anyone help please
[17:10] <TurtleUrlte> it migt be too new
[17:10] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: use the binary from nvidia.com
[17:10] <TurtleUrlte> thatys a new card right?
[17:10] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: i have the 8600 gts working fine
[17:10] <P4n[t]3r> guys i got a problem I installed Envy and i clicked on xorg automaticly configure... then i restarted and then Xorg.conf had some problems and then the errors was : No screens found
[17:10] <joaopinto> starbucks, have you tried with nvidia-glx-new already ?
[17:10] <starbucks> WhoNeedszzz: But how do I use a binary im new?
[17:11] <WhoNeedszzz> P4n[t]3r: do yourself a favor and don't use that bloated program :)
[17:11] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: no problem
[17:11] <joaopinto> starbucks, you shoud not use the nvidia binary unless essentialy required
[17:11] <starbucks> joaopinto: No I don't think so
[17:11] <P4n[t]3r> ?^^
[17:11] <P4n[t]3r> WhoNeedszzz what can i do now?
[17:11] <starbucks> joaopinto: Alright
[17:11] <c0mp13371331337> joaopinto: What's wrong with the nvidia binaries?  I'm using their beta drivers with no issues at all.
[17:11] <joaopinto> starbucks, System -> Admin -> Hardware drivers
[17:11] <HalphaZ> hello
[17:12] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: download the binary file, save it to your home directory, open a terminal, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, run the binary file as root, and viola
[17:12] <starbucks> joaopinto:  Yup
[17:12] <HalphaZ> I've some bluetooth problems: hictool dev doesn't return plugged device
[17:12] <joaopinto> c0mp13371331337, it is recommended to use the repositories binaries because they have a broad range of testers, also they will get proper upgrades with the kernel upgrades
[17:12] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: do _not_ use the restricted drivers
[17:12] <subzero316> my gnome panel turns white every time i switch from console to xwindow how do i fix this
[17:12] <starbucks> WhoNeedszzz: Ok well joao told me to use that as a last resource but thanks I will use that if I can't get it working this way..:)
[17:12] <starbucks> WhoNeedszzz:  Argh lol howcome?
[17:12] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: don't
[17:12] <joaopinto> starbucks, if the regular restricted drivers do not work, you should try with the envi-ng drivers
[17:12] <joaopinto> WhoNeedszzz, why not ?
[17:13] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: it only causes problems with that card
[17:13] <starbucks> WhoNeedszzz: Oh alright
[17:13] <joaopinto> WhoNeedszzz, so just install envyng-gtk
[17:13] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: i went through a bunch of bull with that method. it is really easy to do the binary way
[17:13] <joaopinto> it will allow you to install a newer kernel
[17:13] <c0mp13371331337> joaopinto: Ah, purely from a support standpoint.  I've found the nvidia binaries out-perform the standard drivers in the repos.  Plus they were much easier for me to set up.
[17:13] <starbucks> WhoNeedszzz: Alright thanks..where do I get the binary then sorry?
[17:14] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: nvidia.com, i'll get the exact link, one sec
[17:14] <Yooshi> !bittorrent
[17:14] <joaopinto> c0mp13371331337, yes, the question is only about support, and kernel upgrades
[17:14] <starbucks> WhoNeedszzz:  Alright thanks very much :)
[17:14] <Yooshi> !Azureus
[17:14] <starbucks> WhoNeedszzz:  And this will make all the eye candy work right?
[17:15] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: yes indeed
[17:15] <winter-mute> anyone has problems with ATI 8.4 drivers on dual head?
[17:15] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: i have compiz-fusion installed and working perfectly
[17:15] <sanity> Probably a silly question, how do you drag a file to a directory that only root can access, and copy/move it as root?  ie.  sudo the copy via the desktop?
[17:15] <bobbob1016> Can I encrypt my /home or / on an existing install?
[17:15] <joaopinto> sanity, you run nautilis with gksudo
[17:15] <winter-mute> my open GL is broken with ATI 8.4
[17:15] <jrib> sanity: gksudo nautilus.  Though I don't really see why you would ever need this
[17:16] <starbucks> WhoNeedszzz:  Oh ok...compix being the nice graphical stuff yes?
[17:16] <bobbob1016> sanity, Try alt+f2 then enter gksu nautilus
[17:16] <c0mp13371331337> sanity: sudo cp /path/to/file.txt /new/path/to/file.txt
[17:16] <WhoNeedszzz> grr nvidia had to go and make their site obnoxious
[17:16] <AlbaParty-528> hey can help me anyone how to do flood ?
[17:16] <sanity> thanks
[17:16] <starbucks> WhoNeedszzz: '

[17:17] <Blonde_man> WhoNeedszzz hey can u help me how to do flood ?
[17:17] <c0mp13371331337> starbucks: You'll need to stop GDM to install: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[17:17] <WhoNeedszzz> Blonde_man: what do you mean?
[17:17] <WhoNeedszzz> c0mp13371331337: i told him detailed instructions
[17:18] <Blonde_man> WhoNeedszzz i want to learn how to do flood
[17:18] <starbucks> c0mp13371331337: Im confused whats GDM?
[17:18] <c0mp13371331337> WhoNeedszzz: Beautiful!
[17:18] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: go back up to the line of instructions and put it in a txt file for reference
[17:18] <starbucks> WhoNeedszzz: Alright thanks

[17:19] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: u use gnome or kde?
[17:19] <joaopinto> starbucks, erm, thats the purpose of the gdm stop command, to stop the X server, the graphical session
[17:19] <WhoNeedszzz> Blonde_man: i have no idea what you are talking about
[17:19] <Blonde_man> :(
[17:19] <starbucks> WhoNeedszzz: im using ubuntu hardy heron
[17:20] <WhoNeedszzz> starbucks: no, the display manager
[17:20] <joaopinto> starbucks, meaning, you should switch to a console instead, with CTRL-ALT-F1
[17:20] <WhoNeedszzz> joaopinto: that won't do it
[17:20] <WhoNeedszzz> ok i have to go so can someone else finish the help with starbucks?

[17:25] <chell> can anyone help me please?
[17:26] <joaopinto> kliklik, rebooting
[17:26] <joaopinto> !anyone | chell
[17:26] <kliklik> joaopinto, it's a poor solution but if it's the only way than ok...
[17:26] <Ali_ix> kliklik: 'sudo kill -9 PID' will kill apps with no exceptions
[17:26] <starbucks> urm guys 'Could not open the file /home/timecatcher/Deskto…ux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run.'
[17:26] <Elijah> P4n[t]3r, sude apt-get install -f  returned a bunch of errors
[17:26] <kliklik> Ali_ix, id doesn't
[17:26] <chell> How do I get my "C-Media" USB headset to work properly (i.e. i can record audio in recordmydkestop) to work in Ubuntu Hardy?
[17:26] <P4n[t]3r> :X
[17:27] <kliklik> I've tried it already
[17:27] <joaopinto> Ali_ix, that is not true, on rare cases the processes get hang in an unkillable status
[17:27] <Elijah> can someone help me get my internet working on my ubuntu tower through my vista laptop so i can use pastebin
[17:27] <kliklik> It happend several times already
[17:27] <Ali_ix> joaopinto: yeah, but really RARE cases :)
[17:27] <kliklik> and always totem
[17:27] <Elijah> ics is enabled on the vista laptop and works fine when i boot the tower into xp
[17:27] <joaopinto> Ali_ix, unfortunately with hardy I have found those not as rare as they should, specially with multimedia apps :P
[17:27] <Elijah> i have it connected with cat5 cable
[17:28] <starbucks> P4n[t]3r: How do I disable GDM then? I keep getting this error when I try to run it at the moment: 'Could not open the file /home/timecatcher/Deskto…ux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run.'
[17:28] <kliklik> Is there a way to get any debug info from it to send to the developers?
[17:28] <Gohanx3> starbucks sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[17:28] <Elijah> is there a network help channel for ubuntu or linux?
[17:28] <starbucks> Gohanx3: Where do I enter that? Is that in the terminal thing?
[17:28] <joaopinto> Gohanx3, make sure you provide the rest of the instructions before he does that...
[17:29] <Elijah> like #ubuntu-netowrking
[17:29] <P4n[t]3r> starbucks in the console
[17:29] <P4n[t]3r> terminal
[17:29] <Ali_ix> Elijah: maybe, but doesn't work for vista
[17:29] <Gohanx3> starbucks yes but wait
[17:29] <Elijah> Ali_ix, ics doesnt work for vista
[17:29] <Elijah> ??
[17:29] <Gohanx3> starbucks make sure you have printed out, notes, exactly how to proceed with your install, because you wont have any x at all (no gui) unless you reboot or startx
[17:30] <Ali_ix> Elijah: it is not suprising, it is vista :) (sorry that i cant help)
[17:30] <bazhang> !windows | Elijah
[17:30] <joaopinto> Elijah, if you have a question which is specific to vista, please try ##windows
[17:31] <Yooshi> !weather
[17:31] <Elijah> Ali_ix, there are instructions for getting my sprint u727 usb modem working for ubuntu but in order for that to happen it needs to download packages and therefore must have preexisting access to the internet
[17:31] <mcarolan> hi, strange problem here, trying to get my lcd to work on my laptop, i've finally got it to the correct resolution, but it kinda doesn't all fit on the screen, it scrolls when i put my mouse to the bounds of the screen, is there a way to get it to all fit on? cheers
[17:31] <Elijah> my sprint usb modem is the only modem/internet i have
[17:31] <chell> How do I fix the "Broken pipe: Underrun occured" issue in recordmydesktop?
[17:31] <jvm> hi. what do i've to do to make sudo work for a newly created users?
[17:31] <Ali_ix> Elijah: I see, but unfortunately i have no experience with vista.
[17:31] <Elijah> Ali_ix, do you know of some otehr help channel where i can find a network expert
[17:32] <Ali_ix> !windows | Elijah
[17:32] <starbucks> I just did it again -.-
[17:32] <P4n[t]3r> starbucks
[17:32] <Jaffarkelshac> mcarolan: what is the native res of your laptop? check if its not ..x800 instead of 768
[17:32] <Elijah> Ali_ix, i doubt they will know how for me to configure my ubuntu to vista
[17:32] <P4n[t]3r> open terminal
[17:32] <P4n[t]3r> then do that command
[17:32] <P4n[t]3r> then cd /where/nvida/thing/is
[17:32] <starbucks> I now know that sudo etc/blabla removes the graphical interface but how do I install stuff its very confusing :(
[17:32] <P4n[t]3r> then ./nvida think
[17:32] <starbucks> P4n[t]3r: Yes?
[17:33] <P4n[t]3r> just
[17:33] <P4n[t]3r> go in the black window
[17:33] <P4n[t]3r> then
[17:33] <P4n[t]3r> cd where/nvidia/is
[17:33] <Ali_ix> Elijah: ICS generally launches a DHCP daemon wich will configure your ubuntu machine automatically, just work on vista part
[17:33] <P4n[t]3r> then ./thenameofnvidia
[17:33] <Twili> How can I partition a removable media drive (SD Card)
[17:33] <Gohanx3> starbucks why not try the automated script envyng?
[17:33] <Elijah> how do i launch the ics in ubuntu then?
[17:33] <joaopinto> Twili, with the partition editor ?
[17:33] <Twili> I want one ext2 partition and one FAT32
[17:33] <P4n[t]3r> Gohanx3
[17:33] <P4n[t]3r> Envy sucks
[17:33] <starbucks> P4n[t]3r: The name of nvidia is nvidia isn't it? Or do I put in 8500GT?
[17:34] <P4n[t]3r> no
[17:34] <Twili> Partition Editor?
[17:34] <Elijah> vista may already be setup
[17:34] <P4n[t]3r> just the file
[17:34] <Gohanx3> P4n[t]3r: how exactly does "it" suck? its the same binary
[17:34] <Ali_ix> Elijah: ICS is a Microsoft app, you should run it on vista
[17:34] <P4n[t]3r> Gohanx3
[17:34] <dfgas> gdm is running at 1280x960. however i have told xorg.conf to only use 1440x900 1280x800   any ideas what is wrong here. i want 1440x900@75
[17:34] <P4n[t]3r> i did configuere xconfig automaticly
[17:34] <P4n[t]3r> then
[17:34] <mcarolan> Jaffarkelshac, i've disabled my laptops screen because i want to use my lcd monitor instead of it, the resolution of that is 1440x900
[17:34] <P4n[t]3r> i cant start ubuntu anymore
[17:34] <Elijah> so i would just hook up ubuntu with a cable and it would work?
[17:34] <joaopinto> P4n[t]3r, envy is actually recommended instead of doing a direct install from the nvidia site
[17:34] <Ali_ix> Elijah: ok, you should set your wired network to 'Roaming mode' or 'DHCP'
[17:34] <P4n[t]3r> ye
[17:34] <P4n[t]3r> but
[17:34] <Gohanx3> P4n[t]3r: and by that you assume it "suck" because you cant make it work?
[17:34] <Neff2> Hi people, I've a problem with ubuntu gutsy and gdm on an old laptop. Suddently GDM stopped working properly. When X server starts instead of the login screen I receive a brown screen with an error message written with squares.... If I click on the button of the message, GDM begin "looping". I can still login in gnome by killing gdm (sudo /etc/inid.d/gdm stop) and starting the xserver manually (startx).
[17:34] <Neff2> I tried installing kdm and it works, but now I want to solve this problem (kdm doesn't unlock gnome-keyring and without gdm I cannot shut down my computer directly from GNOME). Sorry for my bad english and thank you for your help in advance
[17:34] <starbucks> how do I do this envy thing then please?
[17:34] <P4n[t]3r> Gohanx3 yes
[17:34] <P4n[t]3r> probably
[17:35] <Twili> Where do I get the partition editor?
[17:35] <bobbob1016> Can I encrypt my /home or / on an existing install?  The only directions I found were for either encrypting during a new install, or during for encrypting a file/non-system partition.
[17:35] <Gohanx3> P4n[t]3r: the solution lies within the readme
[17:35] <Ali_ix> Twili: search gparted in synaptic
[17:35] <joaopinto> Twili, it should be available from System -> Admin -> Part Editor
[17:35] <Abhorcosm> Can someone help me get videos working in firefox 3, ubuntu 8.04?
[17:35] <P4n[t]3r> Gohanx3
[17:35] <P4n[t]3r> if i install Envy again
[17:35] <starbucks> joaopinto: How do I use envy then please?
[17:35] <P4n[t]3r> and Xorg.conf comes again
[17:35] <P4n[t]3r> what i have to make?
[17:35] <P4n[t]3r> Yes or no
[17:35] <joaopinto> starbucks, sudo apt-get install envy-gtk
[17:35] <ompaul> !envy | starbucks
[17:35] <joaopinto> ops
[17:35] <Gohanx3> P4n[t]3r: you dont have to configure xorg
[17:35] <joaopinto> starbucks, sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk
[17:36] <P4n[t]3r> but i want play a game
[17:36] <P4n[t]3r> in linux
[17:36] <P4n[t]3r> so i dont need it?
[17:36] <P4n[t]3r> (xorg)
[17:36] <Elijah> Ali_ix, i set my wired connection to roaming and it greyed out the dhcp options. So at least that part is correct, would dns servers do anything, or default gateways?
[17:36] <Gohanx3> P4n[t]3r: if you cant get past the boot screen, just go into envng core -t (text mode) remove driver and re-install voila a clean xorg
[17:36] <starbucks> joaopinto: Alright then
[17:36] <Abhorcosm> ﻿Can someone help me get videos working in firefox 3, ubuntu 8.04?
[17:36] <Gohanx3> P4n[t]3r: of course you need it, but dont re-configure it after the install theres no point
[17:36] <starbucks> joaopinto:  DO all these 'sudo' things go in the terminal?
[17:37] <Abhorcosm> I have just about every plugin already installed
[17:37] <joaopinto> starbucks, yes
[17:37] <P4n[t]3r> Gohanx3 so what to do ?
[17:37] <Ali_ix> Elijah: in roaming mode OS will try to find connection setting automatically, which means default gateway, dns and netmask
[17:37] <P4n[t]3r> install envy?
[17:37] <starbucks> joaopinto:  Is it envyng or is that meant to be ing?
[17:37] <Abhorcosm> Anyone?
[17:37] <joaopinto> ng, for next generation
[17:37] <Gohanx3> P4n[t]3r: install envyng (if you wish) if you cant get into your system, go into terminal and envyng core -t - remove driver, re-install if that doesnt work, just remove the driver completly
[17:37] <Gohanx3> works for me
[17:37] <Elijah> Ali_ix, that makes sense, like if you are roaming to a bunch of computers! Brilliant name
[17:38] <Gohanx3> P4n[t]3r: sorry I belive its envyng -t
[17:38] <P4n[t]3r> Gohanx3 im going to reinstall ubuntu
[17:38] <P4n[t]3r> thats why i ask
[17:38] <Gohanx3> oh
[17:38] <Gohanx3> P4n[t]3r: well if you run into any issues, you just remove the driver, you have full control in the text console
[17:38] <tdkpetrus> I am trying to run RoR WEBrick (port 3000) from a user account on ubuntu 8.08. Connecting with elinks from localhost works. It does not work if I try to get there from another host. I think iptables lets the request pass. Which other potential reasons are there to prevent me from getting the response?
[17:38] <bazhang> !info envyng-gtk
[17:39] <starbucks> joaopinto: Is it ok that when your talking to me you use the starb then press tab thing please it just makes it easier to read :) thanks. And ok..:P
[17:39] <P4n[t]3r> Gohanx3
[17:39] <P4n[t]3r> but i like to do it in the black window mode
[17:39] <P4n[t]3r> ^^
[17:39] <starbucks> joaopinto: After I;ve done that sudo thing what should I do?
[17:39] <P4n[t]3r> because im sick of envy
[17:39] <Gohanx3> ?
[17:39] <marek> guys, how to tell apt to ignore a package from a repo?
[17:39] <P4n[t]3r> I do i t in the hard way
[17:39] <P4n[t]3r> ^^
[17:39] <starbucks> P4n[t]3r: Im going to try envy first then Ill try it your way xD
[17:39] <Gohanx3> P4n[t]3r: you mean compile kernel source?
[17:39] <P4n[t]3r> no
[17:39] <P4n[t]3r> just
[17:39] <starbucks> P4n[t]3r: Especially as im new I don't want something confusing to have to do
[17:39] <P4n[t]3r> downloading nvdia from site
[17:40] <P4n[t]3r> and that ;p
[17:40] <Gohanx3> oh
[17:40] <joaopinto> starbucks, gksudo envyng-gtk
[17:40] <marek> P4n[t]3r: what a open source spirit
[17:40] <P4n[t]3r> hmß
[17:40] <starbucks> joaopinto: Do I now enter that...its finished the sudo envyng thing...
[17:40] <Abhorcosm> Can someone help me get videos working firefox?
[17:40] <Ali_ix> marek: there is some way, but it is complicated
[17:40] <P4n[t]3r> well
[17:40] <P4n[t]3r> I go install Ubuntu now
[17:40] <Gohanx3> I spent 5 hours trying the nvidia way, and then finally I compiled kernel-source just to be slapped with a big "ERROR", I finally tried envyng, no issues at all, and it takes care of your kernel
[17:41] <P4n[t]3r> Gohanx3
[17:41] <P4n[t]3r> yes but
[17:41] <P4n[t]3r> I installed Envy
[17:41] <starbucks> joaopinto: The first thing you told me to do has installed envy or whatever its called and now its saying automatically search for drivers...in the envy program shall I just follow it through now?
[17:41] <P4n[t]3r> then Xorg.conf comes
[17:41] <mannytu> !Restricted
[17:41] <P4n[t]3r> and i clicked yes
[17:41] <P4n[t]3r> and baam error
[17:41] <FloodBot2> P4n[t]3r: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:41] <marek> Ali_ix: how complicated?
[17:41] <Gohanx3> P4n[t]3r: hmm I see what you mean now
[17:41] <joaopinto> P4n[t]3r, engy had a major update for hardy, if you are not familiar with it, please stop complaining with your past problems, they are not relevant now

[17:42] <joaopinto> starbucks, yes, envy gets and installs the latest drivers
[17:43] <starbucks> joaopinto: Its come up with a black box which looks like the terminal thingy...shall I just leave it to finish..after that will I hopefully be able to use things like desktop effects?
[17:43] <joaopinto> starbucks, yes, let it download and install
[17:43] <yowshi> hmmm this is worrying but it is to late to go back sinc ethe files are being installed but it keeps saying that several files arent symlinks
[17:44] <yowshi> in the ld deffered processes sectiopn
[17:44] <starbucks> joaopinto:  ALright thanks
[17:44] <starbucks> joaopinto: Im off for dinner now thanks for your help :)
[17:44] <Elijah> when i hook my ubuntu tower up to my vista laptop to get internet from the vista, my connection info is all 0's for ip, dns etc...
[17:44] <joaopinto> yw :)
[17:44] <Elijah> it is in roaming mode
[17:44] <joaopinto> Elijah, you were already advised to ask on ##windows about the vista part which you dont know
[17:45] <Elijah> joaopinto, does this mean ubuntu just isn't receiving from vista
[17:45] <Ali_ix> Elijah: this means Vista isn't offering any service
[17:45] <joaopinto> Elijah, no, it means since you have no idea about how to do ICS from windows vista, you should ask there
[17:46] <Elijah> Ali_ix, thanks
[17:46] <joaopinto> on the ubuntu side, you just need to set it up for dhcp
[17:46] <Elijah> joaopinto, i set up for roaming
[17:46] <Davichito> hi
[17:46] <Elijah> just wanted to mae sure
[17:46] <Elijah> i will aks windows channel now
[17:46] <howlingmadhowie> it might be easier to share an internet connection through ubuntu than through windows
[17:46] <Ali_ix> !hi | Davichito
[17:47] <elTigre> Hi, I have a sound problem with latest kernel, latest Flash 10 Beta and latest Firefox
[17:48] <elTigre> at first, sound works, in totem for example
[17:48] <Zaiden> is there a icon dock program for ubuntu?
[17:48] <elTigre> then I open a flash streaming video in firefox
[17:48] <elTigre> or epiphany...
[17:48] <joaopinto> Zaiden, avant windows manager
[17:48] <elTigre> there the sound is mute
[17:48] <Davichito> hi
[17:48] <Davichito> I have an off-topic question
[17:48] <elTigre> after killing the browser, totem doesn't play sound at all (device busy)
[17:48] <Ali_ix> Zaiden: i know at least 3 dock bar apps for gnome
[17:48] <joaopinto> elTigre, there is a know issue if sound being locked by the flash plugin
[17:48] <Davichito> I tried to get a bot in here, but he could not log in
[17:48] <Twili> How can I partition an SD Card in the Partition Manager
[17:49] <joaopinto> !ot | Davichito
[17:49] <Davichito> is there a special channel for bots?
[17:49] <Davichito> ok
[17:49] <elTigre> joapinto: yes, and I thought I had that fixed before
[17:49] <joaopinto> Twili, you select the device, and create the partitions as you need
[17:49] <DIL> how do i start zoneminder
[17:49] <uwe> hello, im trying to understand how package signing works, since i had a strange problem lately, i had my apt-get update poping a warning about not being able to authenticate packages, changing the repositories helps, just for 2 days, then the warning is back again, so how does it work? do i have the public key of ubuntu maintainers when installing ubuntu ? isnt it possible that a single unauthenticated package would change that key and afterwards ill be trusted
[17:49] <uwe>  fake packages ? if this is the case, is it enough to make sure i have the correct public key by comparing it with someones else ubuntu installation and for example md5sum of apt-get ?
[17:49] <elTigre> joapinto: and even though flash blocks the sound, it can't play anything either
[17:49] <joaopinto> elTigre, some people report it is fixed by installing libflashsupport
[17:50] <Twili> ﻿joaopinto: How?'
[17:50] <Twili> I selected my device
[17:50] <Twili> then what do I click\
[17:50] <Twili> Sorry I'm a n00b with this
[17:50] <Ali_ix> uwe: you may experiencing some network problems, packet loos for example, which corrups files and results unmaching keys.
[17:50] <joaopinto> uwe, it is possible, but very unlikey, it is more common for a repository to have a broken package, during synch
[17:50] <marek> Ali_ix: yeah, that's pinnin, but I want to completly ignore it
[17:51] <elTigre> I wonder why it was neccessary to truly mess up all sound support in the middle of a release cycle...
[17:51] <Ali_ix> uwe: make sure you use official repos
[17:51] <uwe> Ali_ix, i do
[17:51] <Ali_ix> marek: there is some HOLD functionality in aptitude and dpkg, but i am not sure if it completely ignores the package
[17:51] <NetEcho_> !grub
[17:52] <nalioth> how do you get dpkg to output all your installed packages?
[17:52] <Zaiden> When I try to launch advant, it flashes, then disappears
[17:52] <joaopinto> nalioth, dpkg -l
[17:52] <elTigre> I installed libflashsupport it worked
[17:52] <uwe> Ali_ix, joaopinto , well, it happend 4 times in very short time, so , well , it might be the case of network problems ... but again, why would the signitures be broken during synch ?
[17:52] <benzss> what's the easiest way of running programs as root? is there a less intrusive way than opening terminal?
[17:53] <joaopinto> uwe, the signature is not broken, what is broken is the package, from a verification point of view
[17:53] <nalioth> joaopinto: how do i use the output list to put back my packages on another machine?
[17:53] <elTigre> gksudo
[17:53] <elTigre> benzss: gksudo "program"
[17:53] <joaopinto> !clone | nalioth
[17:53] <benzss> elTigre: thanks :]
[17:53] <uwe> joetheodd, i suppose you mean that for example the package is perfectly legitimate, but the list of signitures related to it was not updated yet ?
[17:54] <joaopinto> benzss, if its a terminal program, sudo is fine
[17:54] <Ali_ix> nalioth: 'sudo dpkg --get-selections > package_list'
[17:54] <Jezza> join #gear
[17:54] <nalioth> thanks y'all
[17:54] <benzss> well i have a peculiar problem with my mp3 player in that gnomad will only recognise it if running from root, so i assume that adding 'gksu' to the shortcut's command line will open it without terminal popping up too
[17:55] <benzss> and it did :D
[17:55] <benzss> thanks chaps
[17:56] <uwe> well, just out of curiosity , what is the md5sum of /usr/bin/apt-get ? running latest ubuntu on a 32 bit system and apt 0.7.9ubuntu17
[17:56] <Ali_ix> uwe: mine: fcb24caab6a115d8e3a90bb71962fdd3  /usr/bin/apt-get
[17:57] <uwe> ok ... same here , thank you Ali_ix
[17:58] <jvm> my notebook either crashes or does not recognize it when an external mouse is connected.
[17:58] <jvm> why?
[17:58] <jvm> how can i find out?

[18:00] <joaopinto> !compiz | starbucks
[18:01] <starbucks> oh and one more thing which im finding annoying is my internet seems to automatically go into offline mode...is there anyway to turn this off so I don't need to fiddle around with it each time I go on. Thanks

[18:04] <_phoenix_>  how can i watch dvds witch totem?
[18:06] <Elijah> windows channel is appearing to be fruitless
[18:06] <Elijah> i posted a question to experts-exchange.com
[18:06] <starbucks> Its crashed :(
[18:06] <Elijah> maybe my $10 a month will get me an answer
[18:07] <aditya1> i made 2 ext3 partitions int 7.10, one for / and another for /home , now i want both of them in /
[18:08] <AlgorithmicContr> Is there anything wrong with ﻿sources.list.d?
[18:08] <_phoenix_>  how can i watch dvds witch totem?
[18:09] <gwp-WoW> is it better to set Option "sli" "Auto" in xorg.conf or Option "sli" "yes"
[18:09] <AlgorithmicContr> _phoenix_: Just pop in the DVD and by default Totem plays them!
[18:10] <challahc> quit
[18:10] <colaser> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a finally finished running, but I'm still getting the same errors. This has taken forever, so I think I'm going to have to come back and try again later.
[18:10] <Twili> I need help with the partition editor!  I couldn't creAte a ext2 filesystem on an unallocated partition on my SD Card.
[18:11] <cyzie> hi, my gutsy upgrade to hardy using update-manager failed, any idea why?
[18:13] <sinan> I am running a dual-boot machine. I edited fstab to include the windows partitions, but I can't write to them. What can I do ?
[18:13] <sinan> /ping $me
[18:14] <howlingmadhowie> exit
[18:14] <leonardo_> Hello
[18:14] <private_meta> Hi
[18:15] <starbucks> guys what do I need to enter to download the compizconfig manager please?
[18:16] <Agu10> #agu10
[18:17] <wng-> have you guys read this yet? http://www.smartplanet.com/news/food/10001249/meet-ubuntu-the-world-s-first-fairtrade-cola.htm?s_cid=51
[18:18] <starbucks> ...?
[18:18] <Faust-C> btw whats the link to upgrage to latest release?
[18:18] <Faust-C> !update
[18:18] <Gohanx3> wng-:  yeah that has nothing to do with the linux distro ubuntu
[18:18] <Gohanx3> wng, its a trading company
[18:19] <cyzie> hi, does upgrade check for other packages (custom build package) when upgrade?
[18:19] <starbucks> nice Ill be having some of that! :)
[18:19] <wng-> i know that
[18:19] <Gohanx3> theres a clothing color mix named "linux" over here
[18:19] <Gohanx3> pretty damn hilarious :D
[18:19] <starbucks> Gohanx3: Im installing java right now...the plugin that firefox says I need...do I need to download anything else after i have this plugin to make games like wurm online work please?
[18:19] <private_meta> lil question... i just upgraded from gutsy gibbon to hardy heron - i tried supertux but the new version that was "imposed" on me needs too many resources for me <_< can someone tell me how to get legacy versions, old ones?
[18:20] <Gohanx3> starbucks, sorry man, I use opera my self :)
[18:20] <leonardo_> Any brazilian?
[18:20] <wols_> private_meta: install the onld one and put the package then on hold so it won't update
[18:20] <wng-> private_meta: have you tried disabling open-gl in the game?
[18:20] <wols_> !pt | leonardo_
[18:20] <starbucks> Gohanx3: Lol no problem but do you think the overall java thing that im installing...(6.0 or something.) is what I need for other applications aswell or should I download this seperately?
[18:21] <Agu10> how do i install x11vnc?
[18:21] <private_meta> wols_: i can't find the old one in the package manager
[18:21] <Gohanx3> starbucks It should work, as long as its in the right path, usr/lib/firefox I think? check the options in firefox if its in use the plugin, thats what I do in opera
[18:22]  * Faust-C has opera working w/ plugins fine
[18:22] <Faust-C> not mozilla ones
[18:22] <wols_> private_meta: it won't be there. it's in gutsy repos only
[18:22] <starbucks> Gohanx3: Alright thanks...and also don't suppose you know where I get this stupid thing compizconfig manager do you please? Or what the sudo apt thing for it is please? Thanks
[18:23] <private_meta> wng-: where do i change that? i can't find anything for that in the settings
[18:23] <cyzie> hi, does upgrade check for other packages (custom build package) during upgrading?
[18:24] <wng-> private_meta: i'm not sure, i know a few versions ago used to have an option, I haven't used the program in a while
[18:24] <wols_> cyzie: only if they are in a apt repo you have in your sources.list
[18:24] <hypn0> starbucks: use synaptic and search for compiz
[18:24] <wols_> private_meta: why can't you simply install the old version?
[18:25] <private_meta> wols_: dunno where to get it from
[18:25] <cyzie> wols_, how do you mean? can you explain further?
[18:25] <wols_> packages.ubuntu.com
[18:25] <Twister> hey everyone, im lookin for a decent video card to use with ubuntu, any suggestions?
[18:25] <yowshi> ok some very very strange things occured during this update and i dont know if i like them at alkl
[18:25] <private_meta> wng-: still, it's weird... the old version was working... well, i could do something with it... the new version even lags unplayable in the MENU
[18:25] <yowshi> for starters my start page now says i am running xubuntu
[18:25] <Abhorcosm> Can someone help me with this?
[18:25] <Gohanx3> starbucks, sure try this one http://thegabfather.wordpress.com/2008/05/17/how-to-install-compiz-fusion-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/
[18:25] <wild_oscar> greetings
[18:25] <wols_> private_meta: are you sure you have working 3D acceleration?
[18:25] <yowshi> and suddenly the forcedeth drivers have ceased working
[18:25] <private_meta> wols_: yes
[18:26] <private_meta> wols_: ATI drivers
[18:26] <Abhorcosm> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5233028#post5233028
[18:26] <yowshi> since i cant get online with my ownboard lan anymore
[18:26] <private_meta> wols_: tho they seem to be restricted drivers
[18:26] <yowshi> can anyone help me diagnose and fix this?
[18:26] <wild_oscar> I've got my totem player configured to Xine; when I try to open an mp3 when other audio programs are opened (amarok, firefox), however, Totem doesn't work
[18:26] <wild_oscar> any clue how to fix it?
[18:27] <cyzie> wols_, i build my own package and installed in my system. will my packages break the ubuntu upgrade?
[18:27] <wng-> private_meta: try the file ~/.supertux - you can disable opengl in there or edit settings
[18:27] <wols_> cyzie: depends how you did it
[18:27] <cyzie> wols_, well, the upgrade is done using cli, sudo update-manager
[18:27] <cyzie> it breaks though
[18:28] <wild_oscar> sound preferences are down at Stereo mode in totem
[18:28] <private_meta> wng-: i don't have that file
[18:28] <wols_> cyzie: how you made your own pacakges. if there is a newer version your version will be removed and the newer installed
[18:28] <msshams> ﻿this line in crontab when run? */4 * * * * ls
[18:28] <private_meta> wng-: ah second
[18:28] <wols_> msshams: so you run ubuntu after all? good to know
[18:29] <cyzie> wols_, self program, self package. that is the nearest judgement i can come up the upgrade is failed.
[18:29] <Narcissus> Aaargh!! Who turned beryl off!!
[18:29] <private_meta> wng-: there are no opengl settings in the supertux config file
[18:29] <wols_> cyzie: full output of upgrade in a pastebin
[18:29] <msshams> wols_: heh, how are you now? i don't know that if i ask a question in a ubuntu channel, means i use ubuntu?
[18:30] <cyzie> ok, u mean the main.log ?
[18:30] <wols_> usually yes, since if you really run debian you should ask not here...
[18:30] <mynetdude> whoopedoo! I think I know why frostwire hates ubuntu! Because its a trojan horse on windows!
[18:30] <Narcissus> Does anyone know why, when I try to enable the 'Visual effects' in system->preferences->appearance why it says 'could not apply effects'
[18:30] <cyzie> ok, u mean the main.log ?
[18:30] <Narcissus> They were enabled yesterday...
[18:30] <wols_> Narcissus: no 3D drivers
[18:31] <Narcissus> I have 3D drivers
[18:31] <wols_> cyzie: I don't know where it puts the apt and dpkg output. that's what I need to see
[18:31] <Narcissus> wols_, it was enabled and working fine less than 18 hours ago
[18:31] <cyzie> wols_, ok, i paste the upgrade failed log.
[18:31] <srizz> how do you change the distance between the windows in compiz
[18:31] <wols_> Narcissus: glxinfo |grep -i direct
[18:31] <wols_> private_meta: glxinfo | grep -i direct
[18:32] <K^Holtz> OK, my printer just complained that it was out of ink, but i have no way of telling which cartridge is out. I have a Canon IP5000 printer. In windows, a box would come up with printer properties, but i dont have this in Linux. Any way to get those canon windows to display?
[18:32] <starbucks> Gohanx3: Thanks thats done the trick I think :)
[18:32] <wild_oscar> I've got my totem player configured to Xine; when I try to open an mp3 when other audio programs are opened (amarok, firefox), however, Totem doesn't work. sound in preferences is at Stereo (so it's not a matter of 5.1 being busy)
[18:32] <wols_> wild_oscar: your audio output is in use and can't be opened by xine probably
[18:32] <Narcissus> wols_, Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual
[18:32] <Narcissus> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[18:32] <anteaya> my cpu was working very hard and unable to give me a terminal.  I powered down and am now able to run top.  I see there is a program running called hald-addon-stor with user haldeamo.  I see in forum posts that others have had this problem.  I am running feisty.  Any suggestions?
[18:32] <private_meta> wols_: direct rendering: No || OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[18:32] <wols_> Narcissus: no 3D. have fun
[18:32] <Narcissus> Super.
[18:33] <yowshi> can someone help me figure out if my system somehow metamorphised from normal ubuntu which i had installed to xubuntu wyhich the start splash screen now says during the upgrade to hardy. this is reaaaaaaaaaaly unnerving as even the desktop background has changed
[18:33] <wild_oscar> wols_: It is opened in amarok, though, which also uses Xine
[18:33] <wols_> private_meta: that's your problem: no 3D hardware support
[18:33] <private_meta> wols_: possibly because of the proprietary driver...
[18:33] <wols_> wild_oscar: yes, amarok has the audio device open which is why xine can't open it
[18:33] <wols_> !ati | private_meta
[18:34] <wild_oscar> wols_: no, I opened amarok afterwards
[18:34] <dfgas> why is gdm running 1280x960 when my xorg.conf doesn't have that anywhere?
[18:34] <srizz> how do you change how big a gap there is between the open windows in compiz
[18:34] <Abhorcosm> Where can I find a Dell Laser Printer 1700n driver to install my network printer in Ubuntu 8.04?
[18:34] <wols_> dfgas: cause your monitor tells X it supports it
[18:34] <Gohanx3> starbucks np
[18:34] <wols_> !printing | Abhorcosm
[18:34] <dfgas> wols_, how do i get x to say otherwise?
[18:34] <srizz> anyon
[18:35] <wols_> dunno about gdm actually
[18:35] <dfgas> wols_, cause my new users default to that as well
[18:35] <dfgas> 1280x960
[18:35] <dfgas> unless i change it for each user
[18:35] <wols_> possibly by explicitly setting the res in xorg.conf
[18:35] <wild_oscar> wols_: this happens - understandibly - if I'm opening a 5.1 audio movie, for example; but firefox only occupies a stereo channel, so there's no reason for totem not to work
[18:36] <dfgas> wols_, did that
[18:36] <Abhorcosm> Thanks wols_
[18:36] <wols_> wild_oscar: if you know it better, have fun solving it. HAND
[18:36] <racestoapril1> Hi, I am running ubuntu 8.04 on an IBM thinkpad. I have recently installed Ubuntu along with Google Earth. after installing google earth, it will connect to the servers and everything will work fine. However, after exiting and re-entering, the Earth won't load and neither iwll any tools
[18:36] <wols_> racestoapril1: ask google. it's their software
[18:37] <wild_oscar> wols_: whatever. I don't know it, I was giving all the info. if you don't know the answer, don't reply like that
[18:37] <wols_> I told you time and again. if you don't believe me, I see no reason to try to help you
[18:37] <racestoapril1> wols_: I don't think it's a software issue exactly, I think it's an internet connection issue
[18:37] <wols_> and I value my time too much to repeat myself constantly
[18:37] <nuno_nunes> Hi ppl
[18:37] <wols_> racestoapril1: any other problems with connecting to a site?
[18:38] <anteaya> any one know what hald-addon-stor is/does and it takes up so much of my cpu?
[18:38] <anteaya> why
[18:38] <wols_> cause if it's only google earth it still looks like a google problem and not a ubuntu one.
[18:38] <openros> What is the command to trust a bluetooth device. probably a mobile from the terminal
[18:38] <wild_oscar> wols_: if you were correct, amarok wouldn't work. it does work. so the reason it's not working is not what you said. nor is your information really constructive in solving the issue
[18:38] <wild_oscar> wols_: I appreciate your effort, though
[18:39] <wols_> maybe try to connect to the same url google earth uses with a browser. at most it can't let you in but you can see if you get some sort of connection
[18:39] <private_meta> wols_: and obviously I have problems there
[18:39] <wols_> private_meta: where is "there"
[18:39] <t_> Ok.
[18:39] <racestoapril1> wols_: It is only Google Earth. It's strange though because it works fine when it loads immediately after installation
[18:40] <private_meta> wols_: it tells me i can't insert the fglrx driver because it exists
[18:40] <wols_> private_meta: full error output

[18:49] <wols_> Blinkiz: full output of the command you use to deinstall it
[18:49] <Mr_Rabies2> argh, i installed gutsy on my ps3 and decided it was a good idea to mess with software updates, which have somehow managed to cling on between reinstalls and apparent partition deletions :(
[18:49] <Mr_Rabies2> halp
[18:49] <aguitel> anyone know about this: alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory

[18:49] <wols_> Blinkiz: means if you don#t give us more info we cannot help you
[18:49] <Blinkiz> wols_: aa, sudo apt-get purge vhba-module
[18:49] <Blinkiz> sorry
[18:49] <Mr_Rabies2> the software updates apparently break networking entirely on the ps3 :(

[18:50] <Guest77496> Hi everyone.  I need some help.  I'm in ubuntu 8, and sort of new to it.  I started Gparted from the terminal, and started moving one of my partitions.  I accidentally closed the terminal, however, and so stopped Gparted and the move operation.  Now I have the destination partition with a big (6GB+) lost+found folder, and unallocated space with the rest of the data from the original partition in there.  I've read a bit about fsck an
[18:50] <Flannel> Hilikus: You mean FQDN?
[18:50] <Hilikus> Flames whats fqdn?
[18:50] <azexian> ﻿anyone? need to setup a touchscreen, it works now, it's just really far out of sync, need to calibrate it, but calibrate.sh doesn't work, any help appreciated.
[18:51] <racestoapril1> wols: Well I meant more along the lines of allowing for me to type my password in. Is there a way to have a shortcut run a command script. A simple one (ie. sudo googleearth)?
[18:51] <Flannel> Hilikus: Fully Qualified Domain Name.  What's the Apache Directive you're trying to set?
[18:51] <azexian> racestoapril1: gksu
[18:51] <wols_> Hilikus: look into /etc/apache2/sites-available/
[18:51] <racestoapril1> azexian: What is gksu?
[18:52] <Flannel> Hilikus: ServerName?  see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#head-42714b7a81f075c4f6024b8e0a36e2fccb11fdbd
[18:52] <azexian> racestoapril1: makes a little box come up, asks you your password, then runs the app as sudo
[18:52] <azexian> racestoapril1: easy way to sudo something without a console
[18:52] <wols_> racestoapril1: running google earth as root is no the answer
[18:52] <Hilikus> Flannel yes, ServerName
[18:52] <Hilikus> i will

[18:52] <azexian> wols_: what?
[18:53] <wols_> azexian: running apps nilly willy with root priviledges
[18:53] <azexian> wols_: they asked how to run something without a console as sudo, I told them how, it's not up to me, or you, what they choose to run
[18:53] <Hilikus> Flannel whats the difference between /etc/apache2/conf.d/fqdn and /etc/apache2/apache2.conf?
[18:53] <anteaya> hald is hogging my cpu, what is it doing that takes so much cpu?
[18:54] <wols_> azexian: just like you don't help them to re enable root accounts you don't help them to run normal apps suid root. for the same reason
[18:54] <racestoapril1> wols and azexian: Why is running a program with root access (albeit a Google program) a poor decision? Considering I will rarely be running it for a long time?

[18:55] <wols_> racestoapril1: cause if it has a security flaw it's possible that your box gets hacked and taken over
[18:55] <Danish989> can anyone tell me how to enable touchpad vertical scrolling on my dell latitude laptop?
[18:55] <Gohanx3> whats the bash command to compress a directory using .zip?
[18:55] <stiv2k> hello, how come this old Celeron system I have here will suspend to disk but not suspend to RAM ?  it says 'kernel will not suspend to RAM'  Is this a hardware limitation or what?
[18:55] <wild_oscar> wols_: it turns out there are bugs in Flash9, which cause it to grab the wrong audio channel
[18:56] <azexian> wols_: I personally want help, he asked a question that he wanted to know the answer to, I always enable root, I don't think it's my issue what he does with it, that's his choice, not ours, although I guess I should have warned him, but then, he used sudo, it's the same
[18:56] <racestoapril1> wols: Wouldn't that only happen if I had the program opened?
[18:56] <Flannel> Hilikus: Well, neither should have your changes being overwritten (unless you've dist upgraded and chose to overwrite).  But the former puts it into a file that isn't controlled by package management, so it won't be overwritten.  Everything in conf.d/ gets included into the config file (likewise, everything in mods-enabled and sites-enabled is too)
[18:56] <wols_> azexian: it'S channel policy not to do it.
[18:56] <t_> Ok.
[18:56] <Blinkiz> I need help uninstalling a package that fails to remove. Its name is vhba-module. Its a package for 7.10 that I installed on 8.04. It did install but I can't uninstall it. The output is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21880/ . Please advice howto uninstall this package. Am trying to mix with dpkg --force-reinstreq but I can't get it to work
[18:56] <azexian> wols_: not to tell someone about gksu? do you think it's a secret ?
[18:56] <wols_> azexian: what you do in your private home with root and such is nobody's business. what you tell others new here is not
[18:57] <wols_> azexian: no it's not
[18:57] <Hilikus> Flannel i usually tell to override, someone told me sometimes the format of teh config file changes so its better to install the new version
[18:57] <Flannel> Hilikus: conf.d is for machine specific configs, sites-enabled is for VirtualHost specific stuff, and mods-enabled is for module specific configs
[18:57] <azexian> wols_: then why is a problem for me to tell him about gksu?
[18:57] <racestoapril1> azexian: Is the install and use of gksu safe and or easy to use?
[18:57] <wols_> azexian: but we're getting OT
[18:57] <Flannel> !noroot | azexian
[18:57] <azexian> racestoapril1: wols problem is that they do not want you to use root for that, gksu would be root, if you want to run gksu, that is the way, but running anything as root should be thought about
[18:58] <wols_> racestoapril1: it is needed for some system adminning tasks. it is NOT needed and should not be used for noromal apps like google earht. instead: fix the real problem google earth has
[18:58]  * gway9000 did not know about gksu until told by JAck_sparrow
[18:58] <azexian> wols_: please don't do that, I never suggested root
[18:58] <Hilikus> Flannel i dont have fqdn. should i just create it?
[18:58] <Flannel> Hilikus: Yes, you create that file
[18:58] <wols_> azexian: you make him run it with root priviledges which is what I said
[18:58] <ottoshmidt> I'm unable to start Hardware Drivers in System>administration
[18:58] <wols_> ottoshmidt: what drivers?
[18:58] <ottoshmidt> what can I do?
[18:59] <azexian> wols_: I didn't make him do anything, the first message of his I saw was him asking how to make a message box come up to run something as root, some things need it, gparted for example
[18:59] <racestoapril1> Whatever, just trying to get my program to run. Probably gonna switch back to Windows, way too frustrating when you're new to this and don't have much support
[18:59] <mynetdude> I know ubuntu is different than windows, so do I still need to use firewalls and AV?
[18:59] <ottoshmidt> wols_, particularly NVIDIA driver is broken

[18:59] <wols_> !nvidia | ottoshmidt
[18:59] <wols_> mynetdude: no
[19:00] <hypn0> racestoapril1: why dont you install googlearth from medibuntu repo? that's the normal way to install it not using .bin
[19:00] <stiv2k> hello, how come this old Celeron system I have here will suspend to disk but not suspend to RAM ?  it says 'kernel will not suspend to RAM'  Is this a hardware limitation or what?
[19:00] <azexian> racestoapril1: root is admin, it's unsafe to let any old program run as admin, as that means if the program is bad, it can access and delete everything, normal users can't destroy their own system
[19:00] <ottoshmidt> I cant start Firefox neither :(
[19:00] <aguitel> anyone know about this: alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory
[19:00] <wols_> ottoshmidt: unless you tell us the exact errors we cannot help you

[19:04] <wols_> ottoshmidt: it will have an error too
[19:04] <Flannel> Hilikus: the last one.  So it depends on where in apache2.conf you put it

[19:06] <ottoshmidt> wols_, and Can't launch Help, maybe I should reinstall ubuntu?

[19:06] <wols_> stiv2k: tons of people have
[19:07] <frold> well wols_ I guess I need more then that?
[19:07] <danbhfive> ottoshmidt: have you tried installing ubuntu-desktop?  maybe your system is broken in that regard
[19:07] <SyncMaster213T> how can I disable alerts for people entering/exiting IRC ?
[19:07] <wols_> frold: why?
[19:07] <Flannel> Hilikus: there's a line... somewhat near the top of the apache2.conf file: Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/[^.#]*
[19:07] <stiv2k> wols_: I have a machine here that crashes X whenever I try to load some 3D

[19:12] <stiv2k> wols_: I can try to get the log onto my machine here with a USB drive.... sound good?
[19:12] <rgravener> i'm trying to figure out an expression to only match [0-9a-zA-Z] any amount of times and to not work on any other character. any help?
[19:12] <linux4ever> @flannel: is there something easier..?
[19:12] <wols_> t_: then be quiet please
[19:12] <linux4ever> like remastersys?
[19:12] <karabash_> I do have a problem, My Pidgin starts always shown, I want it starts hidden. Any one can help with it?
[19:13] <danbhfive> rgravener: maybe add a * to that?
[19:13] <wols_> rgravener: #regex
[19:13] <linux4ever> remastersys is not good when you use the live-cd on other computers. that's our problem
[19:13] <rgravener> danbhfive: yea but for some reason flex finds "asdfa$$$" acceptable
[19:13] <Flannel> rgravener: A regexp?  * or + (for 0 or more, or 1 or more) [0-9a-zA-Z]*
[19:13] <stiv2k> wols_: May we chat in PM?
[19:13] <Flannel> rgravener: ^[0-9a-zA-Z]+$
[19:14] <rgravener> ok thanks

[19:17] <Dante123> ﻿wols_ someone suggested pitivi but it won't import jpegs....kino does right?
[19:17] <Flannel> linux4ever: remastersys does appear to support Hardy.  There's also UCK, and reconstructor (and probably others).  None of which are sanctioned by Ubuntu

[19:18] <danbhfive> linux4ever: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid
[19:18] <stiv2k> ok great. ignore me, just as im going to a pastebin.
[19:18] <linux4ever> flannel: remastersys is not very good, because we'll make a special-school-ubuntu for a school with 1500 pupils. I think UCK doesn't support ISO-files wich are bigger than 800MB
[19:19] <stiv2k> thanks, i'll never be able to solve my problem now
[19:19] <linux4ever> danbhfive: thnks. i'll try it
[19:19] <t_> stiv2k, shit happen :/
[19:19] <stiv2k> Now I guess I have to go back to repeating my question, god this support system is totally screwed up
[19:20] <fsufitch> hi. i'm having a problem with my apache2 installation. i have apache2 installed, and the libapache2-mod-pap5 package installed too, yet apache is not interpreting my php pages. i get a download dialog in firefox that gives me the source code itself. the ubuntuforums answers aren't helping, since they go off libapache2-mod-php5 not being installed. anybody got an idea or sen this problem before?
[19:20] <wols_> linux4ever: then cut something frm the livecd
[19:20] <wols_> fsufitch: sudo a2enmod php5
[19:20] <Hilikus> how can i see the version of a package installed in my system?
[19:20] <wols_> Hilikus: dpkg -l <package>
[19:20] <dauwg> fsufitch: purge apache2 and php5, then reinstall
[19:20] <Hilikus> thanks wols\
[19:21] <linux4ever> wols_: how can i do that?
[19:21] <fsufitch> wols_: "This module is already enabled!"
[19:21] <Moneyfast> www.uo.com.sapo.pt
[19:21] <fsufitch> dauwg: is that the only way?
[19:22] <coolfire> hi evrydody !!
[19:22] <wols_> fsufitch: did you have apache2 installed before, removed it and reinstalled?
[19:22] <dauwg> !hi
[19:22] <fsufitch> no, i just installed it today
[19:22] <coolfire> I'm a new user in irc :D
[19:22] <dauwg> coolfire: good luck
[19:23] <coolfire> think !!
[19:23] <kaston> i am running gutsy and i just installed a "security update" and now my screen resolution is stuck at 600x800.  anyone know how to fix this?
[19:23] <t_> kaston: Stuck if higher.
[19:23] <fsufitch> wols_: i just installed it today
[19:23] <wols_> kaston: reinstall your videodrives
[19:23] <wols_> kaston: what videochip?
[19:24] <linux4ever> bye!
[19:24] <t_> !bye
[19:24] <kaston> i'm not sure how to reinstall my video drivers.  i have an nvidia geforce card i think.  how do i check?
[19:24] <stiv2k> Anybody here knowledgeable with X11?  I cannot get 3D working with this Intel i810 chipset
[19:25] <wols_> !nvidia | kaston
[19:25] <t_> kaston, have you enabled the driver in "Hardware Drivers"?
[19:25] <laszlo> do yuo lake wrestling or football?
[19:26] <fsufitch> wols_: i did the reinstall and it didnt help
[19:26] <wols_> how did you reinstall exactly?
[19:26] <fsufitch> wols_: sudo aptitude purge apache2 libapache2-mod-php5
[19:27] <fsufitch> the reinstall was the same, except with install instead of purge
[19:27] <wols_> apache2 is only a meta package
[19:27] <kaston> sorry i am a bit of a newb.  where is "hardware drivers"?
[19:27] <wols_> doesn't really deinstall much
[19:27] <wols_> fsufitch: remove apache2.2-common instead
[19:27] <t_> System -> Administration
[19:27] <fsufitch> wols_: oh. i'll look for others then
[19:27] <fsufitch> wols_: i'll do that
[19:27] <hittingpilot> hello, i need help with the wine windows emulator
[19:28] <t_> What help?
[19:29] <sr71Blackbird> 1356 nicks!!?
[19:29] <hittingpilot> t_:i'm trying to install a game, Act of War: High Treason, and i can't get past the EULA screen because it has a scroll  trap that won't catch
[19:29] <kaston> i previously installed something called envy to fix a pink screen problem i had everytime i played video.
[19:30] <Snowie> hello
[19:30] <Snowie> I'm making a new parition what should i choose in the MOUNT POINT option?
[19:30] <wols_> kaston: envy in gutsy = bad
[19:30] <wols_> Swish: depends where you want to mount it
[19:30] <wols_> Snowie: ^^
[19:30] <Swish> whoa whoa
[19:30] <Swish> yeah!
[19:30] <Snowie> what does that mean :P
[19:31] <wols_> ^you can mount a partition anywhere in the filesystem
[19:32] <kaston> it was working fine until this new update.  i am trying to reinstall the driver through envy again
[19:32] <racestoapril1> I installed 2 copies of Google Earth on my computer and am attempting to remove one of the copies as they are different versions. How do I do this via terminal?
[19:32] <wols_> kaston: envy is not supported here
[19:32] <wols_> !envy
[19:32] <Flannel> racestoapril1: That depends entirely on how you installed them
[19:33] <wols_> coolfire: do you message people unasked
[19:33] <hittingpilot> can anyone help me with wine?
[19:33] <Snowie> how do i set a swap partition?
[19:33] <Flannel> !swap | Snowie
[19:33] <racestoapril1> Flannel: I installed them via terminal.
[19:33] <Snowie> danke
[19:33] <kaston> ok well that didn't seem to work
[19:33] <Flannel> racestoapril1: That doesn't tell us a whole lot.  Was it through package management? a bin file? what?
[19:33] <wols_> !ask | hittingpilot
[19:34] <racestoapril1> Flannel: I installed it through package management.
[19:34] <hittingpilot> wols_:?????
[19:34] <Flannel> racestoapril1: Both of them?
[19:34] <wols_> Flannel: of course not
[19:34] <Flannel> wols_: I know that.
[19:34] <racestoapril1> One was a Bin file, one was package management.
[19:35] <wols_> racestoapril1: we cannot know how to uninsztall the bin file. ask the people who gave you that file. via apt installed packages you can uninstall with apt-get remove <package>
[19:35] <wols_> or synaptic or aptitude or lots of other ways
[19:35] <Flannel> racestoapril1: Alright, so... the bin file just dumps files into your system, so you have to manually remove them.  I *believe* google earth plays nice and puts everything in /usr/local/  and actually, I think it puts everything in /usr/local/google/google-earth
[19:35] <hittingpilot> Can anyone help me with a setup in wine? i'm having trouble installing a game, because i can't get past the EULA screen
[19:36] <Flannel> racestoapril1: so, the correct way to "uninstall" the bin version is sudo rm -rf /usr/local/google/google-earth
[19:36] <wols_> hittingpilot: http://workaround.org/moin/GettingHelpOnIrc
[19:36] <Snowie> what's the difference between a primary and logical parition?
[19:36] <amenado> Snowie-> logical can be subdivided to more partitions
[19:36] <Omid> in perfomance, what's different between install ubuntu inside windows and install clean?
[19:36] <Snowie> okay
[19:37] <Snowie> what about location of the new parition beginning/end
[19:37] <Snowie> what does that mean :P
[19:37] <gaucho> I already tried to install hardy heron for three times, but I came back to gutsy in every time because my sound just don't work. I already tried to rebuild alsa drivers (I have intel-hda-sound, ICH8, Asus P5b-Plus mainboard), I run alsaconf and it detects my device, but it still don't play. Is there a solution to my case? Why this happens?
[19:37] <wols_> beginning or end of disk
[19:37] <Snowie> does it matter?
[19:37] <hanasaki> what kind of encryption is used in gnome vnc when its turned on under system/remote?
[19:37] <Jenova_skill> Hello all
[19:37] <wols_> hittingpilot: usually vnc has no encryption
[19:37] <Flannel> Snowie: Logical partitions live inside an extended partition, you can have 4 primary partitions, or 3 primaries with one extended.  Inside the extended you can have as many logicals as you'd like.
[19:38] <wols_> hanasaki: ^^
[19:38] <Jenova_skill> Looking for someone with some basic knowledge to maybe explain a couple things 2 me ( not really tech ) problems
[19:38] <Snowie> thanks Flannel
[19:38] <hanasaki> wols_:  huh?
[19:38] <mazyiar> hello everybody, I'm new to ubuntu and linux in general. I'm trying to set up file sharing on my ubuntu pc using samba, but have some problems. I'm in a university network, where Ip addresses are assigned using DHCP, so no static IP's, and most i want to share out files that windows pc's will be accessing. I also want to access windows shares.
[19:38] <mazyiar> Can anybody help?
[19:38] <hittingpilot> wols_: what is vnc?
[19:38] <Flannel> !ask | Jenova_skill
[19:38] <MrWizeGuy1983> virtual network connection
[19:38] <wols_> hanasaki: vnc usually has no encryption
[19:38] <MrWizeGuy1983> it's an awesome thing
[19:38] <wols_> hittingpilot: something hanasaki asked about
[19:38] <Jenova_skill> lol ok
[19:38] <Jenova_skill> sorry
[19:38] <wols_> Jenova_skill: are the questions ubuntu related?
[19:39] <hanasaki> wols_:  yes I know.. but there is an option for "require" in the gnome menus
[19:39] <wols_> hanasaki: if it can do crypto, TLS of course
[19:39] <Jenova_skill> Yea...... I just installed ubuntu yesterday........ Just trying 2 grasp a couple concepts.......... Like installing this x-chat program...... How can i get a list of the rest of the programs i have access to install from the database?
[19:40] <private_meta> hmm... can someone tell me how I can deactivate the deskbar applet?
[19:40] <hittingpilot> wols_: well i'm not having troubles with that, i'm having troubles with accepting it because the have a script that makes you scroll all the way down to accept and it's not working
[19:40] <hanasaki> ya want a widnows client  that will do it wols_ any ideeas?
[19:40] <wols_> Jenova_skill: run synaptic
[19:40] <gaucho> Jenova_skill, Press Alt + F2, type Gksudo synaptic and press Enter
[19:40] <wols_> hanasaki: no
[19:40] <hanasaki> bummer
[19:40] <AquaFox> After some time on my GNOME desktop, Firefox stops working and the Terminal crashes..
[19:40] <fsufitch> wols_: i did  sudo aptitude purge apache2 libapache2-mod-php5  apache2.2-common
[19:40] <AquaFox> Is this a know bug?
[19:41] <AquaFox> Can anybody help me?
[19:41] <fsufitch> wols_: and install on all of those, but it still fails
[19:41] <hanasaki> ok so how can a couple boxes in diff offices connect to each other w/ vnc if they are all behind nat'ed firewalls
[19:41] <sidewalk> which graphical ftp-client do you guys recommend?
[19:41] <hanasaki> ?
[19:41] <AquaFox> I can't google it because Firefox won't start.
[19:41] <wols_> fsufitch: check if /etc/apache2/ exists after you purged it all
[19:41] <AquaFox> And terminal crashes :|.
[19:41] <wols_> sidewalk: gftp, filezilla
[19:41] <AtomicSpark> i'm trying to install mono, but it says "Package mono is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source"
[19:41] <fsufitch> okay
[19:41] <sidewalk> filezilla?
[19:41] <AtomicSpark> what does this mean? D:
[19:41] <sidewalk> where can i get that?
[19:41] <wols_> quad3d-dbi: lynx, links2, dillo, epiphany, etc
[19:42] <sidewalk> ah found it
[19:42] <AquaFox> After exstensive usage of Hardy and GNOME, Firefox won't start and the terminal crashes. Anybody know how to fix this?
[19:42] <hanasaki> AtomicSpark:  try netbeans.org and java?
[19:42] <Flannel> AtomicSpark: mono is installed by default, actually.  Pastebin your sources.list and we'll take a look
[19:42] <danbhfive> AtomicSpark: maybe there is something wrong with your sources?
[19:42] <wols_> AtomicSpark: it means a package in your repos mentions mono but mono itself is not there. fix your sources.list
[19:42] <fsufitch> wols_: no, it doesnt
[19:42] <justin_> hi
[19:42] <Jenova_skill> Ohh wow thanks.....

[19:43] <AquaFox> I wish I could search that website.
[19:43] <AquaFox> But my problem is Firefox won't start
[19:44] <Flannel> AquaFox: w3m is installed.  Also, we'll need some sort of error message or something to go by
[19:44] <wols_> AquaFox: I told you alternatives. if you don't want to your choice. but that doesn't give you the right to spam the channel please
[19:44] <Jenova_skill> Ne 1 else having a issue with headphone jack not working * i got the sound to work with a FAQ* type post on the boards but nothings seems to work about the headphone jack
[19:44] <connor> hello
[19:44] <Flannel> AquaFox: Try running firefox from a terminal, see what errors it gives you
[19:44] <AquaFox> Flannel, read it carefully.
[19:44] <LesserRemarkable> are there any programs other than wine that allow you to use windows programs?
[19:44] <AquaFox> I said terminal won't start.
[19:44] <AquaFox> If you not.
[19:44] <AquaFox> *note
[19:45] <wols_> LesserRemarkable: virtualbox and then install a normal windows inside it
[19:45] <Flannel> AquaFox: the terminal won't start at all?
[19:45] <AquaFox> This only happens after extensive usage.
[19:45] <danbhfive> AquaFox: reinstall
[19:45] <AquaFox> It starts.
[19:45] <fsufitch> wols_: did it; still doesn't work
[19:45] <AquaFox> It crashes at startup
[19:45] <ng0n> ..
[19:45] <AquaFox> Reinstall? That's a way to fix Windows problems not Linux.
[19:45] <AquaFox> :|
[19:45] <LesserRemarkable> will that windows work through ubuntu... or does it just set up a second partition?
[19:45] <Flannel> AquaFox: check your logs, unfortunately, without some error message, we don't have a lot to work off of
[19:46] <wols_> LesserRemarkable: the windows will be a big file on the ubuntu partition
[19:46] <AquaFox> Where would the logs be Flannel ?
[19:46] <wols_>  /var/log and ~
[19:46] <Flannel> AquaFox: /var/log, also try setting up a new profile for firefox, seeing if that works (move your old one, etc)
[19:46] <AquaFox> kk
[19:46] <danbhfive> AquaFox: yeah, but something is broken on your system.  If no programs will start, you maybe have nothing more than corrupted data
[19:46] <AquaFox> danbhfive, it happens after extensive usage.
[19:46] <AquaFox> It works perfectly at starty.
[19:47] <AquaFox> *start
[19:47] <danbhfive> ok, i get it
[19:47] <Agu10> how do i install flash cs3 in wine?
[19:47] <test_> just try
[19:47] <Flannel> AquaFox: Have you run memtest? checked for hardware issues, etc?
[19:47] <wols_> Agu10: #winehq
[19:47] <AquaFox> Flannel, no hardware issue.
[19:47] <AquaFox> This is definitely software :/.
[19:47] <Gohanx3> how do you install your printer in ubuntu?
[19:47]  * wols_ is amazed how they are always so sure
[19:47] <wols_> !printing | Gohanx3
[19:47] <AquaFox> It's a bug I encounter occasionally.
[19:47] <Gohanx3> thanks wols
[19:48] <AquaFox> I think it has something to do with Nautilus..
[19:48] <AquaFox> Or ALSA.
[19:48] <vaca3000> i can't install firefox 3 T_T pliz someone help me
[19:48] <AquaFox> One of the two.
[19:48] <Flannel> !enter | AquaFox
[19:48] <wols_> vaca3000: what is the output when you try to?
[19:48] <Flannel> vaca3000: What version of Ubuntu are you on?
[19:48] <private_meta> So does anyone know how I can deactivate the gnome deskbar-applet?
[19:48] <AtomicSpark> Flannel, my sources.lst http://paste.ubuntu.com/21899/ it seems to repeat itself a lot.. maybe because of updates? maybe i should clean it up?
[19:48] <vaca3000> 8.04
[19:48] <frold> !rails | frold
[19:49] <frold> !rubyonrails | frold
[19:49] <wols_> AtomicSpark: don't. it doesn't repeat itself
[19:49] <vaca3000> the firefox installed when i use apt get is 1.5
[19:49] <wols_> !msgthebot
[19:49] <AtomicSpark> wols_, oh nvm. little differences :)
[19:50] <Flannel> AtomicSpark: No, there's no repetition there.  Pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update
[19:50] <Flannel> AtomicSpark: Actually, are you trying to install the "mono" package itself?
[19:50] <mazyiar> ﻿I'm trying to set up file sharing on my ubuntu pc using samba, but have some problems. I'm in a university network, where Ip addresses are assigned using DHCP, so no static IP's, and mostly i want to share out files that windows pc's will be accessing. I also want to access windows shares. Can anybody help?
[19:51] <AtomicSpark> Flannel, yes. trying to install a list a programs to get a .net program to work on ubuntu. see http://evemon.battleclinic.com:8000/trac/wiki/MonoBuildOnUbuntu7.10
[19:51] <AtomicSpark> i wonder if i already have it installed...
[19:51] <Flannel> AtomicSpark: "mono" doesn't exist on hardy.  it's now mono-runtime
[19:52] <MrWizeGuy1983> can't you just go to places and look at the windows network to find the other pc's mazyiar
[19:52] <Flannel> AtomicSpark: hmmm, actually.. that's a packaging error.  File a bug about that at LP, there should be a "mono" transitional package.
[19:53] <mazyiar> well for some reason not all of them show up. i think there are multiple workgroups running, and i only really know pc names, not ip addresses

[19:54] <nealmcb> How can I get a calendar app (evolution, jpilot, whatever) to effectively notify me of an alarm on a calendar event?  My eyes just never notice the itty bitty blinking ! in the notification area.  I want a window to pop to the top and stay there so I see it when I come back, or awn icosn to keep on bouncing vigorously until I notice them, or something....
[19:54] <MrWizeGuy1983> mazyiar, my experience with that is limited, i only have a home network with 2 pc's one of which is often windows and the other ubuntu, but shouldn't it list all different work groups?
[19:55] <mazyiar> also, i don't really know the 'syntax' of sharing. Like in windows, you just put in \\pc-name into 'Run'.
[19:55] <esac> how can i get SUPER+L to lock my desktop ?
[19:55] <mazyiar> it does list some pc's, but for some reason it doesn't list all of them ﻿MrWizeGuy1983. Especially not the ones i want to access :P
[19:56] <esac> nevermind
[19:56] <MrWizeGuy1983> well that kinda sucks....i'm sorry i've never been on such a large network with my laptop
[19:56] <mazyiar> it's ok lol. Thanks anyway :)
[19:56] <Lando1> new to this IRC approach (and ubuntu in general) is this the place to be for stupid beginner questions?
[19:57] <nealmcb> Lando1: yup
[19:57] <MrWizeGuy1983> yes Lando1 it is
[19:57] <kipseron> how i can change the default network adapter in the network manager
[19:57] <MrWizeGuy1983> beginner, pro, intermediate, or just plain stupid, this is the place
[19:57] <uplink_> is possible change the "prefix" in the compilation on "make install" process? because the program is compiled (make) with wrong prefix
[19:58] <MrWizeGuy1983> that would be a pro question, one i couldn't answer if my life depended on it
[19:58] <MrWizeGuy1983> lol
[19:58] <Oisak> Can anyone point me in the direction of some guide on how to calibrate a touch panel?
[19:58] <apophis> Uplink, yes it is definitly possible, does it have a configure script?
[19:59] <uplink_> apophis, yes but if i change on configure i need the use "make" command again
[19:59] <dynamite`> :) ubuntu has its own irc server? :D
[19:59] <uplink_> apophis, it is long time for my manchine
[19:59] <kkathman> uplink  I think if you look at the man page you'll see there is a --prefix attribute
[20:00] <apophis> uplink_,  configure --prefix=<your prefix>, and after that make install
[20:00] <mazyiar> can somebody advise me on the correct procedure on installing programs? especially those with .tar.gz extensions. I can unzip and unpack them, but i don't know exactly where to put all the stuff. I also think it doesn't matter where i put it, but what are some good practices?
[20:00] <apophis> uplink_, make knows what is already done and won't do the whole compilation again
[20:00] <uplink_> apophis, humm thanks very much

[20:04] <ariqs> I know what a paste pin is, but that wasn't that many lines and I was too lazy to pastebin it. Now you've all seen it anyway
[20:04] <apophis> ariqs, looks like you havent configured the program you want to compile, try a "configure" before make
[20:04] <uplink_> apophis, the project is the wine,i creating 2º wine for using patch on the "$home/.wine2" but i installed wrong on first compilation "$home/wine2"
[20:04] <ariqs> I don't think I'm supposed to

[20:04] <Herlaziness> how do I list the file list in a package?
[20:04] <sstchur> Basic question (I think) for someone who knows what he/she is doing:  I can connect to my ubuntu printer by specifying http://my.ip.address:631/printers/printerName, but I'd like to be able to specify http://ubuntuComputerName:631/...  This isn't working though; any ideas why?
[20:04] <ariqs> according to the INSTALL
[20:05] <FAJALOU> sstchur: i have to do the same thing to get my printer to work...
[20:05] <apophis> uplink_, since you knwo the directory, you can just delete it ;) sudo rm -rf ~/wine2
[20:05] <edson> mazyiar, sorry.... what chipset your notebook?
[20:05] <ariqs> and I think cmake may be a configure anyway
[20:05] <MrWizeGuy1983> anybody in the mood to help me figure out how to make ushare work for mp3's to the xbox 360?

[20:07] <jepe1> why the fuck all my downloaded iso's have the correct md5 sums but when i try to install it it says some files are corrupted?
[20:07] <edson> mazyiar, right, my problem is that my notebook comes with integrated microphone, but I am not able to make it work.
[20:08] <bvd> Mr_Sonoma,
[20:08] <bvd> ups
[20:08] <FAJALOU> jepe1:  watch the language.
[20:08] <plik> jepe1: burning too fast maybe?
[20:08] <lubuntu> test
[20:08] <nealmcb> sstchur: or use "<name>.local:631" if you're running avahi (on by default) where <name> comes from the hostname
[20:08] <jepe1> FAJALOU: sorry, i was just getting frustrated, can somebody give me a link with a good cd image?
[20:09] <MrWizeGuy1983> jepe1,  where are you getting your image?
[20:09] <apophis> MrWizeGuy1983, whats up with your upnp server? ;)
[20:09] <FAJALOU> jepe1:  all good, at what speed are you burning your image
[20:09] <FAJALOU> ?
[20:09] <jepe1> www.ubuntu.com
[20:09] <mazyiar> edson, i don't really know about that. it worked fine for my install out of the box... :S
[20:10] <MrWizeGuy1983> jepe1, sounds like your internet is losing packets or corrupting, maybe the burner
[20:10] <zoldar> hello, is it possible to load sata controller module after system start and somehow force device files creation (/dev/sdaX) ?
[20:10] <MrWizeGuy1983> are you on wireless?
[20:10] <jepe1> fajalou: i tried the burning at the lowest speed possible, also, i tried using the image on vmware.
[20:10] <MrWizeGuy1983> and apophis it shows up on the 360 but refuses to play the mp3's
[20:10] <FAJALOU> jepe1: are you trying to burn ubuntu?
[20:10] <sstchur> nealmcb, I'm not sure what avahi is?
[20:10] <edson> somebody use notebook hp pavilion dv6000z?
[20:10] <apophis> MrWizeGuy1983, so you see the mp3s on the xBox but they dont play? you tried different mp3s?
[20:11] <jepe1> fajalou: i tried, but cant install coz of the corrupted image, but when i check on the md5 sum its ok.
[20:11] <sstchur> nealmcb, I want to point my XP machine to my Ubuntu printer... right now I have to specify the Ubuntu machine's IP... I'd like to be able to specify its name instead
[20:11] <mazyiar> ﻿﻿can somebody advise me on the correct procedure on installing programs? especially those with .tar.gz extensions. I can unzip and unpack them, but i don't know exactly where to put all the stuff. I also think it doesn't matter where i put it, but what are some good practices?
[20:12] <jepe1> i tried xubuntu,ubuntu,kubuntu, both desktop and alternated images.
[20:12] <FAJALOU> hmmm, what software are you using to burn it?
[20:12] <MrWizeGuy1983> apophis, it is all of them, they show up with a red circle and a line through them, i saw online it's a common issue
[20:12] <kaston> after installing an ubuntu update today my screen resolution won't go higher than 640x480.  it was fine before.  i have an nvidia geforce go 7600 card on my toshiba laptop and i previously used envy to install the driver.  how can i fix this?  thanks
[20:12] <jepe1> fajalou, ahampoo, but when i use it on vmware i only use the image on the HD, but it still says its corrupted althou the md5 sum is correct.
[20:13] <apophis> MrWizeGuy1983, I see, you tried the -x option for xbox compliance?
[20:13] <FAJALOU> jepe1:  on linux, or windows?
[20:13] <MrWizeGuy1983> yes, it had to be -x -t to work
[20:13] <jepe1> fajalou: on vmware on windows....
[20:13] <MrWizeGuy1983> for some reason it didn't work unless i did the -t
[20:13] <zainuddin> any want can help me how to install vmware 6.0

[20:17] <MrWizeGuy1983> bb1, is your grub uninstalled or broken?
[20:17] <apophis> MrWizeGuy1983, well it shouldnt depend on ubuntu, obviously upnp is working, you see the mp3s and you said it worked in the past? It is probably some setting, have you tried something else then mp3? some pictures maybe?
[20:17] <Herlaziness> how to list all the files in a package? thanks
[20:17] <FAJALOU> jepe1: hmm that's weird b/c ya i used roxio and it worked without a hitch, try using a cdr instead, that helped me out, but it shouldn't matter
[20:17] <user01> can i swap out a laptop hard drive and put it in another laptop without any problems?
[20:18] <mazyiar> i have a problem setting up sharing in samba in hardy. can anybody help?
[20:18] <Jack_Sparrow> user01 minor hardware detection but it should be fine.. not like XP with copy protection

[20:19] <user01> Jack_Sparrow, oh
[20:19] <pucko-> Bert_2, use dd as usual
[20:20] <Daviey> ghostlines: one issue.. if you have multiple MX entries, you would be wise to also have multiple DNS servers :)
[20:20] <Bert_2> pucko-: did so, turned out I needed to use /dev/sdc because it's on USB
[20:20] <Bert_2> pucko-: but it works so whatever
[20:20] <jepe1> fajalou: ok, thanks anyways,  i think i am the only one having this kind of problem.

[20:21] <Drk_Guy> Is there a good "gaming" VM for ubuntu?
[20:22] <Drk_Guy> hanophix33, it depends on compiz being working, do you have it up?
[20:22] <Drk_Guy> I mean, it won't work right if compiz doesn't work right because they use the same acceleration libraries
[20:22] <hanophix33> drk_guy: compiz is working yes

[20:26] <apophis> Drk_Guy, 2 games are for free on ScummVM: Flight of the Amazon Queen :: and Beneath a Steel Sky, both are in the repos
[20:26] <light_saber> DRk Guy COD 4 on ubuntu? your best bet there is cedega
[20:26] <Drk_Guy> light_saber, Wine runs it great, and cedega wont run SERVICES either
[20:26] <apophis> CoD4? ;) nah thats not scumm :P
[20:26] <light_saber> ahhhhh....
[20:26] <light_saber> i don
[20:26] <Drk_Guy> light_saber, punkbuster runs as a service, neither wine, neither cedega can run it
[20:26] <light_saber> i don
[20:27] <light_saber> i don't think you can use scummVm for COD4... not sure though
[20:27] <Drk_Guy> light_saber, and cedega is real lame and bad, i prefer the official wine with 3DMark patch
[20:27] <apophis> definitly not ;)
[20:27] <light_saber> lol
[20:27] <Drk_Guy> why not apophis?
[20:27] <light_saber> drk_guy  are you going to run just a server for cod4 or the game itself?
[20:27] <apophis> Drk_Guy,  I missunderstood you completly, :)
[20:28] <Drk_Guy> light_saber, the game, at least only multiplayer
[20:28] <light_saber> hmmmmmm
[20:28] <mazyiar> Hi, can *anybody* help me share files on ubuntu?
[20:28] <Drk_Guy> Ah!!!, ScummVM is a plattform emultaor
[20:29] <Drk_Guy> apophis, I need a *real* VM
[20:29] <light_saber> putting it on a virtual machine might make it unplayable... considering there are no Virtual machines right now that uses direct3d or use the native video card
[20:29] <skreet> mazyiar, You're going to need to be more specific.  What are you trying to share files to or from?
[20:29] <KyleK> Drk_Guy: dosbox or xen?
[20:29] <Jack_Sparrow> mazyiar  samba if sharing with windows or ssh if between ubuntu's
[20:29] <apophis> Drk_Guy,  ;) why dont do a multiboot?
[20:29] <Drk_Guy> light_saber, how?
[20:29] <mazyiar> lol i tried being more specific before... nobody'd reply
[20:29] <madcat> Ai, does anyone remember the command to get a list of rooms?
[20:29] <Drk_Guy> apophis, I won't get back to winbugs
[20:29] <skreet> light_saber, VMWare's Workstation 6.5 has DX 9 support, though it's horrendeus as of right now
[20:29] <Drk_Guy> madcat, /list
[20:29] <mazyiar> I'm trying to set up file sharing on my ubuntu pc using samba, but have some problems. I'm in a university network, where Ip addresses are assigned using DHCP, so no static IP's, and mostly i want to share out files that windows pc's will be accessing. I also want to access windows shares.
[20:29] <madcat> Thanks
[20:29] <light_saber> it has dx9 support but it doesn't use the native video card... it still use the vmware video drivers
[20:29] <apophis> Drk_Guy, a VM wont help you there, neither QEmu nor another one... you need an OS there
[20:30] <skreet> Drk_Guy, winbugs?  heh....
[20:30] <light_saber> apophis is right
[20:30] <Drk_Guy> Rats apophis, ill need to set-up windows or search for special servers w/o PB enabled
[20:30] <skreet> mazyiar, out of the box, you can access Windows shares.
[20:30] <light_saber> lol
[20:31] <Drk_Guy> light_saber, The bad thing, they must be REAL *special*
[20:31] <Drk_Guy> :)
[20:31] <apophis> Drk_Guy, thats what I said, make a multiboot :P if you run windows in a VM or in multiboot environment doesnt make much of a difference, beside that the VM will be slower
[20:31] <mazyiar> skreet, i'm unaware of the 'syntax' so to speak
[20:31] <gla234> i installed gutenprinter but im not sure if my printer is detected, how do I verify it in console?
[20:31] <Drk_Guy> apophis, Right...
[20:31] <threexk> hello.  I had my wireless card turned off when I installed Ubuntu and so it didn't install drivers.  How can I make Ubuntu detect it?
[20:31] <skreet> mazyiar,  Places > Connect to Server
[20:31] <Drk_Guy> apophis, Thanks anyways
[20:31] <apophis> Drk_Guy, you're welcome
[20:31] <skreet> mazyiar, Have you tried that?
[20:32] <Drk_Guy> :)
[20:32] <SkywaIker> what is my root password in 8.04 ?
[20:32] <mazyiar> skreet, that doesn't seem to work. In windows, i go to run and put in \\example, but here i don't know what to put in
[20:32] <skreet> wow, just ran updates and i apparently have 7 broken packages.
[20:32] <apophis> SkywaIker, ubuntu does not set a rootpass by default
[20:32] <skreet> SkywaIker, Root account is disabled.  You will either have to use sudo or enable it.
[20:32] <skreet> mazyiar, One second, I'll look.  I don't believe UNC (\\Servername\Share) convention is supported.
[20:33] <SkywaIker> how to enable root account ?
[20:34] <apophis> !root | SkywaIker
[20:34] <mazyiar> skreet, so then is it impossible to access using pc names? will i have to use IP addresses always?
[20:34] <zainuddin> in login windows preference
[20:34] <skreet> mazyiar, Select "Windows Share", in Server put the IP or Hostname, Share is what you would have in the 2nd part of the unc (\\Server\Share), so place that there.  Folder can be anything you want it to be, as it's the local name. Username and Domain Name are specific to your network.
[20:34] <zainuddin> enable local system adminisatrtor loing
[20:34] <zainuddin> login
[20:34] <hanophix33> is there some plugins for AWN to make it more stable
[20:34] <skreet> mazyiar, Should be able to use Hostname.  Make sure that you can resolve it -- in a terminal type "ping <hostname> and see if your computer knows where that hostname is.
[20:34] <apophis> mazyiar, you can activate NetBIOS name if you really want
[20:34] <threexk> is there a way to make Ubuntu detect a new wireless card?
[20:34] <zainuddin> then u must set passwd for root
[20:35] <MFen>  ﻿anyone think of a command which acts like vim with 'highlightsearch' but to stdout?  also like 'grep --color' but display the entire file in between highlighted lines. i just want to highlight matching lines
[20:35] <gla234> wow just wow.. I installed the drivers but it refuses to detetct my printer :/
[20:35] <skreet> SkywaIker, If you truely need the root account, which 99.999999999% of the time you don't, you can set a root password by typing "sudo passwd"
[20:35] <sick_ejb> hello i am having a porblem setting up the envoirnment variables for the java in .bashrc file, some can help me please
[20:35] <skreet> SkywaIker, If you just want a root shell, go into a terminal and type "sudo -s", you are now "root".
[20:35] <SkywaIker> thanks
[20:35] <mazyiar> skreet, if i'm accessing say \\tim, and i don't really know what folder i want to access, would i be able to use this method, by just putting in tim in the hostname?
[20:36] <NetEcho> wow sad, Ubuntu can handle Windows workgroups better than windows itself lol
[20:36] <danand> c
[20:36] <skreet> mazyiar, Ah, you cannot "connect to server" the root of a unc.  You will need the share name... I think Ubuntu has a way to browse too, one second.
[20:36] <danand> oops
[20:36] <mazyiar> apophis, could you explain about the NetBios?
[20:36] <SkywaIker> can I use Xen on ubuntu ?
[20:36] <calman> i need help, trying to download the latest updates and I'm getting 35 kb/s
[20:37] <jaivikram> my terminal is not keeping command history ....how do i enable it?
[20:37] <askand> H﻿ow do I run xprograms without starting gnome or kde?
[20:37] <SkywaIker> when I install Linux-Xen package or Ubuntu-xen-server , and restart , everything disapear.
[20:37] <jlulian38> Is there anyway to see where my traffic is being routed(through which interface)
[20:37] <sstchur> Is there a way to add a user with spaces in the name?  For example "Joe User" ?  I understand that in order to print, the user on the windows machine needs an account on the Ubuntu machine, but the account on the Windows machine has a space in the account name.
[20:37] <skreet> mazyiar, Have you tried using Places > Network and selecting Windows Network?  This may not work on a University network, though.
[20:37] <apophis> mazyiar, the names you see in windows networks are so called NetBios names, which are exchanged wihtout a central structure (NO DNS) normally ubunutu doesnt resolve them but there is a Wins client which does: like here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=88206
[20:38] <skreet> apophis, Good point, I was assuming it was a Windows 2003 DNS-Only network, but it's possible -- likely -- that it's not.
[20:38] <jaivikram> my terminal is not keeping command history ....how do i enable it?-- hardy
[20:38] <skreet> mazyiar,  I just found something, if you go to Places > Network then select the left-hand side pencil-on-paper icon you can enter your own address, try smb://tim/ or smb://tim's_ip_here/ -- should be able to browse.
[20:39] <skreet> jaivikram, You mean the command "history", or the scrollback?
[20:39] <apophis> skreet, mazyiar: that might also be the solution to why he sees some and he doesnt see others ;)
[20:40] <jaivikram> both...neither m i able to scrollback nor is ctrl+r gives me anything
[20:40] <SkywaIker> when I install Linux-Xen package or Ubuntu-xen-server , and restart , everything disapear.   Can i use Xen on Ubuntu ???
[20:40] <friel> Got a networking issue, got a EEPC running ubuntu, and pc running ubuntu, (8.04) but unable to see either on my network, ( both connected by ethernet to a BT router)
[20:40] <skreet> jaivikram, It sounds like you're not using bash...  Type bash and press enter, does that work.  If so, we have to fix your shell to use
[20:40] <skreet> bash
[20:41] <navetz_> can someone here help me with mod_rewrite for apache
[20:41] <mazyiar> apophis, are you saying that i don't see some pc's becuase ubuntu can't resolve them?
[20:41] <apophis> friel, what you mean by "not see" ... can you send a ping between both?
[20:41] <skreet> friel, "See"?  What are you using to look for them?
[20:41] <navetz_>  I want it to replace any page with view.php?id=100&title=how-to-mod-rewrite  with /view/100/how-to-mod-rewrite
[20:41] <superkuh> I am trying to disable automatic f-spot-import of pictures from USB mass storage devices on 8.04 w/gnome. I have detailed my attempts thusfar here, with error messages. Any help would be appreciated. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=835715
[20:41] <apophis> mazyiar, yes maybe
[20:41] <navetz_> RewriteRule ^view/(.*)/(.*)$ view.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
[20:41] <skreet> mazyiar, Yes, exactly, ubuntu doesn't have NetBIOS by default.  It helps if you know the IP of the host you wish to browse.
[20:41] <friel> apophis skreet Network location, will try ping now.
[20:41] <jaivikram> yeah...entered bash
[20:41] <test_> hi, my name i s Niklas
[20:41] <navetz_> thats what I have but it doesn't work
[20:41] <jaivikram> what od i do next
[20:41] <test_> anyone who want to chat
[20:42] <iuri> hi there,
[20:42] <iuri> does anyone know how to create a partiotion
[20:42] <threexk> is there a GUI for telling your wireless card where to connect?
[20:42] <iuri> using free space available
[20:42] <mazyiar> apophis, the link you send looks promising, i'll go through that and check... since our ip's are reasigned every few hours or so, the ip thing isn't really practical unfortunately :(
[20:42] <apophis> iuri, gparted is a graphical client for partitioning
[20:42] <friel> apophis skreet, ping returns normally,
[20:42] <skreet> friel  So you are expecting to see the other PC under Places > Network, right?
[20:43] <jaivikram> how to make the shell use bash by default
[20:43] <friel> skreet yes, is that wrong?
[20:43] <iuri> apophis, i ran fdisk -l but it doesn't show the free space avaivlable
[20:43] <hanophix33> has anyone have hardy
[20:43] <skreet> friel Honestly don't know, are you sharing any folders, etc?
[20:43] <apophis> !smb | friel
[20:43] <abchirk> Are there ubuntu packages for Skype?
[20:43] <yowshi> hmmmm audacious wont seem to play these bloody mp3's why isnt xmms in the repo again?
[20:43] <iuri> apophis, but i am sure there are more than 65 gigs
[20:43] <abchirk> Do add as source
[20:43] <skreet> jaivikram,  Sorry, you will need to edit /etc/passwd
[20:43] <abchirk> *To
[20:43] <jaivikram> aha
[20:43] <skreet> jaivikram,  "sudo nano -w /etc/passwd" would get you to an editor, or your editor of choice.
[20:44] <friel> >.< skreet, not sharing any folders.
[20:44] <NetEcho> is there an easy way to take screenshots of your desktop?
[20:44] <skreet> jaivikram,  find the line starting with your username and edit /bin/sh to /bin/bash
[20:44] <skreet> friel,  I've never shared from Ubuntu to Ubuntu but perhaps it only returns information if you are in fact sharing something?
[20:44] <mist> does anyone know how I can prevent X from running at boot time, I would like to just boot to a terminal and then be able to run startx or something of the like later on if I need gui
[20:44] <skreet> NetEcho, press print screen, very easy menu to take many screenshots
[20:44] <friel> skreet think you're right, feel like a numpty now :)
[20:44] <NetEcho> where does it save it?
[20:45] <skreet> NetEcho,  It will prompt you, try it now.
[20:45] <apophis> !pastebin | iuri can you copy paste your fdisk -l into a pastebin and send me the link? :
[20:45] <NetEcho> willdo
[20:45] <jaivikram> i use emacs...anywayz...it says.../bin/bash already
[20:45] <skreet> jaivikram,  Wierd, the only other thing that would override that is the terminal settings.  Did you change any of the settings of gnome-terminal?  (Or are you using another)?
[20:46] <jaivikram> m using a gnome terminal only...just that m on a fresh hardy install ...a few days old
[20:46] <yowshi> OMG someone needs to shoot the firefox dev team
[20:46] <skreet> yowshi, Lol, why?
[20:47] <yowshi> because it now looks better but the eye candy has come at the cost of speed
[20:47] <Scientus> can someone send me or paste bin 8.04 /etc/bash.bashrc i think i inadvertantally changed it
[20:47] <skreet> jaivikram,   Check this setting:  Edit > Current Profile > Title and Command > [Run a custom command...]  is that set to anything?
[20:47] <apophis> yowshi, I think FF3 is faster than FF2 ;)
[20:47] <iuri> apophis, i just installed gparted. things became clear now
[20:47] <apophis> iuri, ok :)
[20:47] <yowshi> skreet: on ocasion when i push a button in a game on firefox 3 the damn thing lags where it didnt with firefox 2
[20:47] <node357> yeah, Firefox 3 runs faster for me too
[20:47] <skreet> yowshi,  I agree with you.
[20:47] <iuri> apophis, i can see the unalocated space
[20:47] <skreet> :)
[20:47] <Scientus> is there any easy way to retrieve deafult /etc files?
[20:47] <apophis> iuri, good
[20:47] <skreet> Scientus,  Which file in particular, or did you do something bad?  ;)
[20:47] <yowshi> how do i make thing this look and behave like firefox 2
[20:48] <iuri> apophis, what reason i can't see on fdisk -l
[20:48] <skreet> yowshi,  Install Firefox 2?
[20:48] <threexk> how do you tell your wireless where to connect?
[20:48] <Scientus> it will prob still work only commented lines i think
[20:48] <skreet> iuri,   fdisk -l only works as root, fyi.
[20:48] <Scientus>   /etc/bash.bashrc for 8.04
[20:48] <zaggy-nl> HOLLAND \o/
[20:48] <yowshi> without doing that. unfortunatly with FF 3 out people wont wqrite addons for ff2
[20:48] <jaivikram> its not enabled
[20:48] <Scientus> want my nuild or something
[20:48] <Scientus> ?
[20:48] <Scientus> its fully updated
[20:48] <skreet> jaivikram,   That is very strange...
[20:48] <iuri> skreet,  i ran as root dah
[20:48] <jaivikram> the problem is in between sessions
[20:48] <skreet> Scientus,   I'll send you a pastebin of my default 8.04 file if you like.
[20:49] <skreet> iuri,  Just checking :)
[20:49] <jaivikram> its keeping history and scroll within a session
[20:49] <Scientus> skreet: thx
[20:49] <jaivikram> not between sessions
[20:49] <yowshi> and with with this new wabpage finishing drop down list when i type in an address
[20:49] <Scientus> if i edit /etc/bash.bashrc and add EXPORT PATH will that add to  my path for everything
[20:49] <yowshi> the damn thing is the size of half my screen and ugly as all hell
[20:49] <yowshi> not to mention distracting
[20:50] <Scientus> there could be a gui---its a pretty common thing to do...........
[20:50] <sr71Blackbird> I'm so registering wabpage.com
[20:50] <yowshi> what!>?!?!?! they even remove the click,m here to remove entry from down;load list
[20:50] <skreet> wow
[20:50] <mazyiar> apophis, i also wanted to know, i have friends on windows who can access my shares, but only if they put in my ip
[20:50] <skreet> is pastebin.ca slow as heck for anyone else too?
[20:50] <yowshi> where is firefox's forum site located i have got some flaming to do
[20:51] <mazyiar> apophis, is there any way to allow them to access using the computer name i've set?
[20:51] <mist> does anyone know how to boot to terminal/text only mode (ie no gui)
[20:51] <skreet> yowshi,  Be positive able it, no one likes flaming.
[20:51] <yowshi> skreet: i know, i know
[20:51] <jaivikram> thanks for the help skreet....will try asking the question in the channel again
[20:51] <sr71Blackbird> I'
[20:51] <skreet> jaivikram, No prob sorry I don't have any more advice.
[20:51] <jaivikram> @elky: my terminal is not keeping command history and scrollback between sessions
[20:51] <jaivikram> that's k..
[20:51] <apophis> mazyiar, have you set a NETBIOS name in the samba setting?
[20:52] <sr71Blackbird> ve been moving towards Epiphany for a while now, in place of Firefox.
[20:52] <extor> I installed the package php5-xdebug on a test system and it seems to have added some frills to error messages and to var_dump() but is there any documentation I can find which tells me the full features I added by installing this package?
[20:52] <sr71Blackbird> No real reason other than finding it a cleaner user experience.
[20:52] <skreet> Scientus,  My favorite pastebin is  broken, know of another?
[20:52] <yowshi> serious question though why isnt xmms in the repo? audacious is so annoying to get to play mp3's
[20:52] <Scientus> paste.ubuntu.com?
[20:52] <pedro> hola amigos como estan

[20:54] <s0ullight> threexk, using a laptop or a box with a button of the wireless?
[20:54] <skreet> yowshi,  Are you trying to build a source package?  If so, try "apt -get install build-essential"  should give you what you need.
[20:54] <Odd-rationale> ikaruga3000: like this?
[20:54] <ikaruga3000> yeah
[20:54] <ikaruga3000> thanx

[20:56] <skreet> sun01tech,  It is, however, possible to boot off the CD.
[20:56] <NetEcho> s0ullight it won't let me change anything in there
[20:56] <NetEcho> but apparently I'm an admin
[20:56] <s0ullight> you have to unlock it
[20:56] <danand> !pl | honzo
[20:56] <skreet> yowshi,  Is there no XMMS package for Ubuntu?  Have you tried beep-media-player?
[20:56] <ikaruga3000> ok let's try that again ... can someone send me a regular message? (Trying to get im notifications configure properly)
[20:56] <jaivikram> my terminal is not keeping command history and scrollback between sessions -- help anyone!
[20:56] <skreet> ikaruga3000,  hey!

[20:57] <NetEcho> s0ullight how?
[20:57] <skreet> yowshi,  Well, beep-media-player is a rebuild of xmms against GTK2 and some newer libs.. might want to check it out.
[20:57] <NetEcho> nevermind
[20:57] <apophis> mazyiar, I am not sure if there might be another setting for smb / NETBIOS ..
[20:57] <s0ullight> NetEcho, next to close there is a button unlock ;P
[20:57] <NetEcho> s0ullight it says I already have permission to share files with local network

[20:58] <skreet> yowshi, The package used to be called "beep-media-player" but this was like, dapper drake days so I don't know if it's called something else.  Let me check.
[20:58] <s0ullight> NetEcho, did you make a local network? lan?
[20:58] <skreet> ugh
[20:58] <skreet> my apt is broken right now, sorry.
[20:58] <skreet> trying to fix it, it hates me
[20:58] <Narcissus> Does anyone know how to turn 3D acceleration back on, intel 945 on hardy?
[20:58] <NetEcho> s0ullight I can see my network shares that are shared off this box
[20:59] <sleeping-bot> hello, I got ReadExact: error in tightvnc while connecting form windows to my ubuntu box

[21:00] <s0ullight> NetEcho, i can't help you further
[21:00] <Narcissus> it worked this morning
[21:00] <Narcissus> I turn it back on and now it doesn't

[21:00] <skreet> Narcissus,  Sorry, not sure :(
[21:00] <Narcissus> K, thanks
[21:00] <skreet> God, why do openoffice.org depend on a LINUX KERNEL?
[21:00] <evilbug> honzo- /join #ubuntu-pl
[21:01] <skreet> I'm sick of Ubuntu constantly updating my kernel, I run VMWare, I hate rebuilding every week.
[21:01] <NetEcho> Does anyone know why Samba/Nautlius would say I don't have permission to create a usershare when I have it checked off under permissions?
[21:01] <DarkTrancer> anyone know if there is a fix for the cdrom not mounting in 8.04?
[21:01] <s0ullight> NetEcho, try under root access
[21:01] <sleeping-bot> skreet: It doesn't.
[21:01] <bluefoxx> whats the latest news on ATI drivers in ubuntu? my old 6200 finally bit the dust...so im stuck with a radion 9600[until i repair this 5700 i found]
[21:01] <apophis> .
[21:01] <NetEcho> s0ullight you mean change the permissions for the root user?
[21:01] <sleeping-bot> skreet: otherwise how it runs on windows.
[21:02] <yowshi> oh dear god no. BMPx is not an xmms replacement. ugh such a huge and ugly interface
[21:02] <evilbug> bluefoxx- i'm running a mobility x1600 with no issues.
[21:02] <s0ullight> do what you want under root user
[21:02] <skreet> sleeping-bot,  Well, the package does.
[21:02] <skreet> So it's telling me I can't do upgrade without getting linux-kernel's newest build
[21:02] <NetEcho> s0ullight I can't even log into root
[21:02] <bluefoxx> evilbug;  cool...
[21:02] <NetEcho> unless you mean sudo nautilus
[21:02] <skreet> NetEcho,  Did you create more than one user account?
[21:02] <sleeping-bot> skeptic:  package may depend. for optimal installation
[21:02] <jayde_drag0n> anyone?.. i use rythmbox for my ipod.. and last night i tried to sync my ipod and clear up some unwanted junk off of it.. i think removing the files is what did it.. but now .. the ipod reports that everything is still on there in settings.. and when i connect it to my computer everything shows up.. but when i go to try and play anything on the ipod.. it says there is no music
[21:02] <s0ullight> NetEcho, gnome-terminal :D
[21:03] <bluefoxx> so how much trouble should i encounter if im going from a nvidia card and the nvidia driver to an ati card?
[21:03] <skreet> bluefoxx,  Well, not much, but the nvidia drivers are more reliable... :/
[21:03] <bluefoxx> oh and are brooktree tuner cards supported[they seem to be common so i presume so]
[21:03] <evilbug> bluefoxx- skreet's right.
[21:03] <s0ullight> the nvidiadrivers rock :D
[21:03] <NetEcho> s0ullight thanks using sudo seems to have worked
[21:04] <yowshi> ok since i cant get xmms can someone help me get audacious to play mp3's?
[21:04] <andycan> When can we expect 2.6.25.xx kernel in repos?
[21:04] <apophis> s0ullight, not that enthusiastic about illegal drivers :O
[21:04] <s0ullight> NetEcho, ur welcome pleased to help someone :D
[21:04] <bvd> Hi does anyone know how to get sound on an IBM X60s? I have read the guides and my modem is enabled in the BIOS but it still does not work.
[21:04] <bluefoxx> skreet;  ok, well then my install is fscked. as it wont boot at all with the ati card...[i tried a tnt2 i had and it booted but horridly choppy compaired to the norm]
[21:04] <s0ullight> apophis, i mean the official
[21:04] <teq> yowshi: just type sudo apt-get install xmms
[21:04] <yowshi> teq: xmms isnt in the repo
[21:04] <skreet> bluefoxx,   It's been so long since I've messed with config files for that stuff, used to be that you had to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- can someone state if that's still true?
[21:05] <yowshi> teq: so apt-get wont work
[21:05] <teq> yowshi: i just installed it from the repo
[21:05] <MrPocknix_> sooo
[21:05] <Rabiddog> wtf?
[21:05] <s0ullight> teq, the package xmms isn't included into hardy i thought
[21:05] <apophis> s0ullight, but you mean the closed source driver ;)
[21:05] <Rabiddog> prince@House:~$ dir
[21:05] <Rabiddog> Floating point exception
[21:05] <teq> ohh im using 7.10
[21:05] <Rabiddog> why am I getting errors using basic commands lie ls or dir
[21:05] <s0ullight> apophis, the opensource ones are too unstable i think
[21:05] <evilbug> bluefoxx- i think reconfiguring xorg.conf would do the trick.
[21:05] <teq> yowshi: whats your problem?
[21:05] <apophis> yowshi, I am also quite sure there quite some xmms packets in the repo ;)
[21:05] <Rabiddog> like*
[21:05] <bluefoxx> evilbug;  if i could boot that is >. >
[21:06] <evilbug> bluefoxx- just boot into safe mode and do that from the console.
[21:06] <skreet> Rabiddog,   What errors??
[21:06] <yowshi> Package xmms is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[21:06] <yowshi> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[21:06] <yowshi> is only available from another source
[21:06] <yowshi> E: Package xmms has no installation candidate
[21:06] <Rabiddog> skreet
[21:06] <Rabiddog> prince@House:~$ dir

[21:06] <apophis> s0ullight, sorry, I justed wanted to point out that wheter ati or nvidia the drivers scratch at the legality because they are not conform to gpl
[21:06] <teq> yowshi: what are you trying to do?
[21:07] <yowshi> s0ullight: yeah right that i am missing some package. glib >= 2.2.0 or something

[21:07] <evilbug> bluefoxx- actually,can you boot from the livecd and then access your hdd off of that and change xorg.conf?
[21:07] <teq> yowshi: try amarok
[21:08] <s0ullight> teq, he could built it from sourcecode :D
[21:08] <adante> i have a screen that does 1920x1200... how can i make it do 1440x900? i have tried adding a modeline but that didn't work, is there some sensible way if edid doesn't provide a mode?
[21:08] <s0ullight> why not that?
[21:08] <teq> yowshi: works great with mp3's it's iTunes like
[21:08] <yowshi> teq: WHY!!!! WHY DO OPEOPLE DO THAT. i hate amarok i hate any music player with a gui bigger then winamp and i wish people would stop telling me to use other fraging music players

[21:10] <lordlimecat> ﻿hey, im having trouble getting audio out of ventrilo under wine, anyone have any luck with it?
[21:10] <skreet> Rabiddog,  does it happen if you move to /dev and run 'ls' or 'dir'
[21:10] <s0ullight> bvd, try alsamixer
[21:10] <blumm> i installed an older libflashsupport which seems to work with firefox but now ubuntu wants to update it all the time
[21:10] <teq> yowshi: have you tried www.xmms.org?
[21:10] <Rabiddog> skreet, just tried and yes
[21:10] <skreet> hm
[21:10] <kreib> anyone knows what the purpose of the little thing on the back of the pci express 16 slot is?
[21:10] <bluefoxx> god i hate my internet connection ><
[21:10] <NetEcho> RhythmBox is a good music player
[21:10] <evilbug> bluefoxx- they should work fine if you get the drivers for it (if required).
[21:11] <Rabiddog> skreet should I try reinstalling the packages for those commands>/
[21:11] <Rabiddog> ?
[21:11] <bluefoxx> evilbug;  its a creative card...
[21:11] <Snowie> does ubuntu have some sort of burning sofrware ?:P
[21:11] <skreet> Rabiddog,  What commands do you notice are doing it?  Just ls and dir.  What if you cat a file?
[21:11] <Odd-rationale> Snowie: try brasero
[21:11] <skreet> Rabiddog,  I doubt it, they're so simple that I'd be surprised if there is real bugs in them.
[21:11] <yowshi> teq: yes. i got the source from them but i am missing some package configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***
[21:11] <evilbug> bluefoxx- creative is a pretty big brand and it should be supported.
[21:11] <s0ullight> Snowie, k3b is a good one :D
[21:11] <bluefoxx> evilbug;  kk, thanks
[21:11] <skreet> Rabiddog,  This happened to me at work last week.
[21:11] <Rabiddog> skreet cat works
[21:11] <skreet> Rabiddog, Which is why I was interested.
[21:11] <teq> yowshi: u tried to install glib 1.2.2?
[21:11] <Rabiddog> skreet, heh
[21:12] <bluefoxx> now off to make food then go to freegeek >D what fun hardware might i find today??...
[21:12] <skreet> Rabiddog,  I couldn't nano files in a certain directory, same bug.  Nothing else was affected.
[21:12] <cirkit> hi
[21:12] <evilbug> bluefoxx- happy hunting.
[21:12] <Rabiddog> skreet
[21:12] <yowshi> teq: would love tgo but i dont know where to get the package and sudo apt-get install glib doesnt work
[21:12] <Rabiddog> prince@House:/dev$ nano
[21:12] <Rabiddog> Segmentation fault
[21:12] <Rabiddog> lol
[21:12] <Led_Zeppelin> I am using wine, but I can't seem to click on any check boxes in the program
[21:12] <skreet> Rabiddog,  the strace is a record of system calls, and munmap is the call to "unmap memory" -- same as my bug.  I hunted for a few hours and ended up rebooting -- problem went away.  Have you rebooted?
[21:12] <skreet> Rabiddog,  Lol, yep.
[21:12] <Rabiddog> no I haven't rebooted
[21:12] <evilbug> Led_Zeppelin- go to #wine
[21:13] <yowshi> teq: well it kind of might but i dont know which of the glib options might solve my problem
[21:13] <skreet> Rabiddog,  Well, you could do what I did and throw a few hours at it -- but it didn't get me anywhere :(
[21:13] <skreet> what kernel?
[21:13] <s0ullight> Led_Zeppelin, were there any .dll errors in the installation?
[21:13] <skreet> run 'uname -r'
[21:13] <Led_Zeppelin> s0ullight, not sure, I just popped in the cd and ran setup.exe
[21:13] <teq> yowshi: try apt-get install glib 1.2.2
[21:13] <Rabiddog> skreet maybe I'll just file a bug report
[21:13] <teq> yowshi: or maybe wget will work
[21:13] <Owner> could someone tell me the windows channel?
[21:13] <evilbug> Owner- #windows
[21:14] <skreet> Rabiddog,  Include the strace, the fact that it happens in ls, dir and nano and a 'uname -r'..  Maybe it's a kernel bug.
[21:14] <yowshi> teq: wget needs a webpage to download and that apt-get glib 1.2.2 fails miserably
[21:14] <zainuddin> what the best software tools to develop php?
[21:14] <s0ullight> Led_Zeppelin, i would recommend you to try running the app from a gnome-terminal and look for errors
[21:14] <Rabiddog> k
[21:14] <teq> yowshi: i know wget needs a website
[21:14] <skreet> zainuddin,  It's a matter of preference, I use gedit and nano.  Some people use Eclipse (full IDE) with PHP modules.
[21:14] <rodpod> is there a link to an .xml rss feed for pack updates in ubuntu's repositories?
[21:14] <yowshi> teq: exactly and i dont know where to get this package
[21:15] <skreet> teq isn't wget part of the "gnutils" suite?
[21:15] <zainuddin> like dreamweaver in windows
[21:15] <Kirsch> hey all, i have ubuntu 8.04 (running the server distro) and i installed pptpd yesterday to VPN and that works great.. apparently too great. i can't access my SMB share locally without having to VPN into the server, did iturn something on by accident? (i restarted the server just now and this started happening)
[21:15] <teq> skreet: i think so, yes.
[21:15] <skreet> zainuddin,  I think Eclipse is pretty comparible, though dreamweaver writes HTML in WYSIWYG mode, I don't think Eclipse can do that?
[21:15] <teq> yowshi: hmmm
[21:15] <s0ullight> Kirsch, try killing it
[21:15] <Kirsch> skreet: no eclipse is for hand coding, there are probably plugins that give you a WYSIWYG
[21:15] <zainuddin> tq skreet
[21:16] <Kirsch> s0ullight: i want the VPN server to run
[21:16] <s0ullight> Kirsch, look for config files :s
[21:16] <yowshi> apt-get needs to be abkle to install specific libvraries or packages because thats what the error messages spit how. how am i supposed to know where to find this glib 1.2.2 or beter
[21:16] <skreet> Kirsch,  I don't mean to sound condescending, but why PPTP?
[21:16] <Kirsch> skreet: cause i found a doc to explain how to do it and it worked well
[21:16] <yowshi> spit out*
[21:16] <teq> yowshi: try this wget http://www.xmms.org/files/1.2.x/xmms-1.2.11.tar.gz
[21:16] <s0ullight> yowshi, apt-cache search glib1.2.2
[21:17] <skreet> Kirsch,  Fair enough, I like OpenVPN, I think it's called.
[21:17] <yowshi> teq i have the source
[21:17] <Kirsch> i stopped pptpd but i still can't access anything
[21:17] <shortc|laptop> I get error HTTP 403 Forbidden when I try to connect to hostname:631 from another machine on my network.
[21:17] <teq> yowshi: thats the tar
[21:17] <shortc|laptop> I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.
[21:17] <Kirsch> i did turn on ip_forwarding
[21:17]  * yowshi sighs* if your not going to pay atention please dont try to asist. i have told you and a couple others i have the source
[21:17] <antonsky> moin moin
[21:17] <yowshi> teq: the source doesnt  contain the glib package
[21:17] <mcscruff> lo all, does anyone know how to run aircrack-ng from the gnome menu, i have made an entry but am unsure of the full command to run it and leave terminal open
[21:17] <shortc|laptop> Can give me an idea of some things to check?
[21:17] <shortc|laptop> (er..."can someone give")
[21:17] <RabidWeezle> running hard heron, with kde, how do I change the resolution? A wine app switched it down and crashed...

[21:18] <RabidWeezle> hardy*

"File unavailable". When i try to download file it works fine. When i use different ftp client (gftp) it works fine. Does anybody know why is like that?
[21:18] <teq> yowshi: try the wget thing and then just try tar -xvvf to install it
[21:18] <yowshi> skreet: and yes it containds glibc but glibc isnt what i need
[21:18] <skreet> yowshi,  If I could fix my apt, I'd try to set up xmms on my system for comparison, but I'm not getting very far.
[21:19] <teq> yowshi: xzvf*

[21:20]  * yowshi sighs* teq i already have the package it isnt a deb file not double click install. i have unzipped it and tried to run the .;/configyre it told me i needed glib >=1.2.2

[21:24] <Kirsch_> skreet: since router technology sucks, i had to buy my 4th one a couple of days ago
[21:24] <soundray> AncientRelic: #bash
[21:24] <fesha> soundray: My laptop has a built in SD card reader but my system isnt seeing it
[21:24] <PriceChild> andatche: depends what shell you're using... if bash then try #bash?

[21:24] <AncientRelic> THanks yes I'm running Bash on Hardy
[21:24] <tripps> so why the frak can't I print a tomboy note?
[21:24] <PriceChild> fesha: an output of the lspci and lsusb commands would be helpful to anyone wanting to troubleshoot
[21:25] <skreet> Kirsch,   I've gone through more than I'd like, too, sometimes I just want to buy a Cisco or something.
[21:25] <soundray> AncientRelic: also have a look for the Advanced Bash Scripting guide on the web
[21:25] <Kirsch_> skreet: i give the router the mac address to always give the same device a static IP on my local network
[21:25] <AncientRelic> as for routers me loves my WRT54GL
[21:25] <Scientus_> is that eynaptic error fatal in any way?

[21:25] <Rabiddog> skreet comments on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/241983 welcomed
[21:25] <kushal1> hello, I am on ubuntu 8.04 over wubi
[21:25] <Kirsch_> skreet: cause i do a lot of port forwarding, when i restart the server the IP switched causing all havoc to go weird
[21:25] <soundray> fesha: can you put the output of lspci and lsusb on paste.ubuntu.com for me to see?
[21:25] <PriceChild> adante: check the documentation that came with the monitor for supported modes, forcing others could cause problems.
[21:26] <PriceChild> adante: it is however unlikely.
[21:26] <kushal1> hello, I am on ubuntu 8.04 over wubi I need to reclaim some disk space therefore I uninstalled kde4 which i previously installed. how can I clean it up so that I can reclaim some disk space?
[21:26] <skreet> Rabiddog,   Since we talked I remember that I wasn't getting FP errors, I was get Sefaults.  Same line in strace though.
[21:26] <adante> PriceChild: it's a laptop display, haven't been able to find anything
[21:26] <joshritger> can anyone help me with bluetooth?
[21:26] <Rabiddog> skreet, maybe mention that in your comments to that bug
[21:26] <skreet> Rabiddog,  Will do
[21:26] <ozkelligirl> help
[21:26] <soundray> joshritger: perhaps. You have to say what the problem is.
[21:26] <ozkelligirl> help help
[21:27] <soundray> ozkelligirl: be sensible
[21:27] <PriceChild> ozkelligirl: ask the question
[21:27] <Kirsch_> here's another question, i compile my apache setup from source cause i'm a web developer and i need to customize my installs (for perl and php), i also have apache with SSL (everything works here), all i want to do is start the apahace server with an init script with SSL
[21:27] <ozkelligirl> how do i make sound louder vi;ome up
[21:27] <ozkelligirl> volume
[21:27] <PriceChild> kushal1: well you need to figure out where the disk space is being used, look at applications > accessories > disk usage analizer
[21:27] <Rabiddog> skreet, best to document the bug now in case it reoccurs
[21:27] <joshritger> soundray: I go through the documentation for connecting a keyboard, but it doesn't seem to work, oh and I am using 8.04
[21:27] <skreet> ozkelligirl,   That's your urgent issue?  >.>  There a speaker icon in the top right of your screen.
[21:27] <PriceChild> kushal1: *analyser
[21:27] <Rabiddog> I'll be doing a reboot shortly to see if it goes away
[21:28] <Kirsch_> the script i think i found is only for non-ssl, in essence i need it to do /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl
[21:28] <kushal1> thanks PriceChild
[21:28] <ozkelligirl> voume right up
[21:28] <joshritger> soundray: in gutsy 7.10 I had no problems connecting it
[21:28] <PriceChild> kushal1: *DON'T* delete anything that you haven't specifically added yourself outside of /home

[21:28] <joshritger> soundray: fresh install

[21:29] <PriceChild> RabidWeezle: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[21:29] <evilbug> RabidWeezle- sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[21:29] <soundray> joshritger: did you follow any kind of guide?
[21:29] <RabidWeezle> thanks
[21:29] <kushal1> I installed kde4 and now I uninstalled it. however, I don't see the disk space reclaimes
[21:29] <evilbug> HEY!

[21:29] <soundray> ozkelligirl: do you have gnome?
[21:30] <PriceChild> RabidWeezle: see http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome for removing it if you so choose

[21:30] <soundray> joshritger: and how far do you get?
[21:30] <soundray> ozkelligirl: there is a loudspeaker symbol next to the clock on the top panel. Click it and slide it up
[21:30] <ozkelligirl> yes
[21:31] <fesha> soundray: lspci and lsusb are at http://paste.ubuntu.com/21933/
[21:31] <ozkelligirl> it is full up
[21:31] <ozkelligirl> sound is low
[21:31] <joshritger> soundray: I get to the last step where it says to enter password, i enter a password on my wired keyboard, then repeat the password on my bluetooth keyboard, then press enter
[21:31] <soundray> ozkelligirl: not enough? Double click the loudspeaker and see if you can increase PCM as well
[21:31] <wax_man> anybody know how to install freeimage on Dapper Drake?

[21:37] <Elijah> on vista my LAN connection doesn't even have a default gateway, it has a subnet mask and a ip address but not a 192.190... ip addy
[21:37] <yoshimit> crimsun_: thank you, but do not work... my sound icon still has the red block signal... no sound... It gives me this message (when I double click it):  No GStreamer module and/or device was found...
[21:37] <nikosapi> what's the difference between linux-headers-lum and linux-headers?
[21:37] <skreet> Skyrail,  I don't... remember...  The "Test" link should work immediately.  Was that "fuzzy"?
[21:37] <apophis> Angela_Smith, you know on which parition windos resides on?  I would repair the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, but I am not sure if there isnt an easier way
[21:37] <crimsun_> yoshimit: what's the output from `lspci -nv|grep -A1 040[13]'?
[21:37] <soundray> joshritger: I'm sorry, I can't seem to help you. You might ask the channel again.
[21:37] <skreet> Ugh, my perl is very broken.
[21:37] <siofwolves> thadeoc, run adept > manage repositories
[21:38] <joshritger> ok
[21:38] <Angela_Smith> apophis, it looks like it made a backup of menu.1st i am looking at it now
[21:38] <Skyrail> skreet: nope, that's the problem the beep is fine
[21:38] <soundray> fesha: line 21 -- could that be your card reader?
[21:38] <yoshimit> crimsun_: 00:1b.0 0403: 8086:293e (rev 02)
[21:38] <yoshimit> 	Subsystem: 1043:829f
[21:38] <Skyrail> As is youtube, it's just rythmbox and last.fm's player, which is weird as it's flash just like youtube
[21:38] <skreet> Is there a way to purge a package and reinstall it without uninstalling all the dependencies?
[21:38] <thadeoc> thanks siowolves
[21:38] <soundray> skreet: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename
[21:38] <skreet> Skyrail, Rhythmbox is GStreamer, not sure about last.fm
[21:38] <Elijah> any help on setting up a ubuntu connection
[21:38] <Elijah> internet/lan
[21:38] <skreet> soundray, Thank you.
[21:38] <apophis> you would only need to copy the part for windows, but make sure you have a live CD aswell in case grub won't boot
[21:38] <Elijah> though vista ics
[21:39] <siofwolves> thadeoc, sorry, i'm running kubuntu..
[21:39] <yigal> I just installed 8.04 but my broadcom isn't being detected via ifconfig, but is listed with lspci, after ndiswrapper installation anyone have clue what could be going on?
[21:39] <thadeoc> hmm ok i can't try it at the moment as i'm at work
[21:39] <Elijah> the only way I can get internet is through my vista laptop right now
[21:39] <skreet> soundray, UGH.  Apt is broken because Perl isn't working, so I can't do that...
[21:39] <skreet> Ideas?
[21:39] <Skyrail> skreet: mhmm, okay, I'll have to just live it out then, or buy new speakers, or something. It's somewhat intermittent
[21:39] <Elijah> i need to connect my ubuntu tower to it so i can download software for the modem
[21:39] <yigal> I'm back using my debian partition, which is using the card no problem
[21:39] <skreet> Skyrail,  Another thought wouuld be volume, if it's too high that might happen..
[21:40] <Skyrail> skreet: can you remove perl manually and then try and find the files to manually reinstall it?
[21:40] <skreet> Skyrail, That sounds dangerous.... ::scared::
[21:40] <Elijah> hwat should firefox options be set to for it to use the internet
[21:40] <evilbug> does ubuntu server have the same issues as with desktop between 32 and 64 bit?
[21:40] <Elijah> proxy?
[21:40] <Skyrail> skreet: yeh I know it does and I wouldn't venture to do it myself either haha
[21:40] <skreet> it's the files in /usr/lib/perl5 that are causing errors on apt scripts... I tracked a few errors down to legitimate bugs..
[21:40] <Leefmc> Question: There was a program to enable a wallpaper to span accross multiple desktops. Anyone know what that was? I forget the name of it.
[21:41] <soundray> skreet: you might boot from a live CD, find out the file list of the faulty packages with dpkg -L and copy them from the live CD system into yours
[21:41] <Elijah> no proxy, auto-detect proxy settings
[21:41] <soundray> skreet: this could easily end up being more work than just doing a fresh installation
[21:41] <yoshimit> crimsun_: do you saw my message?
[21:41] <skreet> I had that thought.
[21:41] <crimsun_> yoshimit: yes, I was checking the source code.
[21:41] <soundray> fesha: still here?
[21:42] <fesha> soundray: Yes I belive to be but my I still cant access my SD card
[21:42] <Kirsch> ok lets try this again
[21:42] <Kirsch> lol
[21:42] <yoshimit> crimsun_: ok. sorry. can you call me anytime...
[21:42] <crimsun_> yoshimit: do you have linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic installed?
[21:42] <Kirsch> skreet: did you get my last message?
[21:42] <soundray> fesha: apart from the SD card slot, is there a PCMCIA slot as well?
[21:42] <yigal> ah, for my own edification I found a bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/203819
[21:42] <fesha> soundray: yes
[21:43] <Yooshi> how do I give an app that is running in wine internet access?
[21:43] <CorbinFox> is there a way to stop the fishy from the Free the Fish thing from swimming?  SHe is cute and all, but starting to get on my nerves XD
[21:43] <yoshimit> crimsun_: yes, but I`m using 2.6.24-16 now
[21:43] <yoshimit> crimsun_: only in 2.6.24-16 the nvidia driver works... :(
[21:43] <skreet> Kirsch,   did it have my name in it, I don't see it...?
[21:43] <soundray> fesha: when you run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog', then insert the SD card, is there any indication that the system notices the insertion?
[21:43] <ariqs> is there a mirror for debian.packages.org?
[21:43] <Kirsch> skreet: no i didn't put anyones name, i need an init script to start apache with ssl
[21:43] <yoshimit> crimsun_: wait a minute... I will confirm this package
[21:44] <soundray> ariqs: why debian? This is ubuntu...
[21:44] <joshritger> can someone help me trouble shoot a bluetooth keyboard, I have tried to follow the ubuntu community documentation on how to connect it. I have scanned with hcitool scan and it picks up the keyboard, when I go to pair it, it will not pair. this is in 8.04, in 7.10 it worked fine.
[21:44] <Leefmc> Question: Does GEdit have any form of wildcard search? (CtrlF searching the document)
[21:44] <skreet> Kirsch, I don't think the init script has to change?
[21:44] <yoshimit> crimsun_: yes... I have this modulo installed...
[21:44] <Kirsch> skreet: i don't have one cause i compile my own apache instance
[21:45] <ariqs> soundray: there is a debian package I want, that afaik will work with ubuntu
[21:45] <fesha> soundray: No it doesnt seem to noticeat all
[21:45] <Rabiddog> skreet
[21:45] <ariqs> but debian.packages.org is slow as can be
[21:45] <skreet> Rabiddog,  yeah?
[21:45] <Rabiddog> Can't get it to load no more
[21:45] <soundray> fesha: have you tested this reader in any other OS?
[21:45] <skreet> Kirsch,  Are you compiling from deb-src?
[21:45] <Rabiddog> skreet its fucked
[21:45] <Rabiddog> oops
[21:45] <skreet> Rabiddog,  the system?
[21:46] <ompaul> !apache | Kirsch its in the repos
[21:46] <Rabiddog> skreet I think so
[21:46] <skreet> Rabiddog,  LiveCD and fsck is in order, I bet.
[21:46] <ariqs> i was just going to compile the package, but of course, that turned into a giant mess fast, and no one will help me with the problem I have with compiling it
[21:46] <Rabiddog> skreet I agree
[21:46] <soundray> ariqs: you can go through the debian/pool/ directory of any debian apt mirror
[21:46] <l_r> hello. i want to make a second local user to connect to the same local X server. When i do "sudo xhost +local" manually the X clients can connect, while when adding the entry "local:" to /etc/X0.hosts, as suggested by the X manuals, the thing does not work, until i still do "sudo xhost +local" manually. do you have any idea?
[21:46] <GizmoTheG> anyone that has kubuntu hardy heron on theor ps3 and like to give me a hand?

[21:46] <Rabiddog> skreet is the live cd 8.04.1?
[21:46] <fesha> soundray: I have tested it on windows and it worked
[21:46] <ompaul> !dvd | _phoenix_
[21:46] <skreet> Rabiddog, I didn't know there was an 8.04.1
[21:47] <Drk_Guy> !dvd | _phoenix_
[21:47] <Rabiddog> skreet there will be with the new kernel fix
[21:47] <crimsun_> yoshimit: please download and run http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh
[21:47] <ariqs> I'd be willing to bet money that compile link will have nothing I want, but i'll click and see ;P
[21:47] <Drk_Guy> Fck
[21:47] <Drk_Guy> Sound isn't responding after i've got out of Nexuiz
[21:47] <Rabiddog> skreet the latest kernel fixes a major bug that causes a problem on my system
[21:47] <Drk_Guy> What can i do?
[21:47] <yoshimit> crimsun_: ok. one min...
[21:47] <ompaul> !language | Drk_Guy
[21:47] <skreet> Rabiddog,  Which bug?
[21:47] <Drk_Guy> Sorry
[21:47] <Rabiddog> dmraid regression
[21:48] <skreet> tell me it's RAID 1...
[21:48] <fesha> soundray: Thanx for trying to help but I got to go
[21:48] <Drk_Guy> Sound isn't responding after i've got out of Nexuiz
[21:48] <Drk_Guy> What can i do?
[21:48] <ariqs> yep, that compile link is worthless to compiling what I want to compile
[21:49] <ompaul> ariqs, what do you want to compile?
[21:49] <olin> having difficulty mounting my cdrom for data
[21:49] <Rabiddog> skreet: umm its raid 5
[21:49] <ompaul> !build-essential | ariqs this helps with compiling
[21:49] <ariqs> hedgewars, it requires cmake and free pascal
[21:49] <ariqs> I already have build essentials
[21:49] <ariqs> gah
[21:49] <ariqs> gah!
[21:49] <ompaul> ahh
[21:50] <superkuh> I am trying to disable automatic f-spot-import of pictures from USB mass storage devices on 8.04 w/gnome. I have detailed my attempts thusfar here, with Dbus error messages. Any help would be appreciated. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=835715
[21:50] <ompaul> hedgewars exists in apt - if ariqs turns up again
[21:50] <_phoenix_> ompaul it dont start the main menue
[21:50] <Yooshi> seems to me limewire is a wine thing not a native thing
[21:50] <olin> what are the commands, please to mount
[21:51] <yoshimit> crimsun_: http://pastebin.ca/1052638
[21:51] <soundray> !limewire | Yooshi
[21:51] <olin> I meant to mount a cdrom
[21:51] <Yooshi> I've tried
[21:51] <Yooshi> at least limewire works
[21:51] <Elijah> How do I use Ubuntu with Vista ICS
[21:51] <soundray> Yooshi: it's not wine
[21:52] <Yooshi> soundray:  I have an app that works in wine but it can't see the internet is there any way I can get it to see the 'net?
[21:52] <ompaul> _phoenix_, ehh look at this web page, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[21:52] <Yooshi> soundray:  I know its not wine... but nevermind
[21:52] <Elijah> I have ubuntu and a sprint u727 modem which is useless unless i install packages
[21:52] <Yooshi> limewire doesn't install as a package
[21:52] <Elijah> the only way i can install packages is to get internet to it
[21:52] <MrWizeGuy1983> Yooshi, what do you mean limewire doesn't install as a package?
[21:52] <Elijah> the only computer that works right now with  my u727 modem is my vista laptop
[21:53] <Elijah> help me
[21:53] <MrWizeGuy1983> Yooshi, i have limewire pro 4.16 in a .deb file if you want it
[21:53] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  the instructions says to start limewire by running runlimewire.sh
[21:53] <soundray> Elijah: please keep it on one line. You can download the packages you need in Vista, then copy them to your package cache (/var/cache/apt/archives/)
[21:53] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  please :), what do I have to give you so you're happy? :D
[21:53] <MrWizeGuy1983> Yooshi, can i try to send you the .deb file? all you have to do is install it with the package manager
[21:53] <MrWizeGuy1983> lol
[21:53] <Yooshi> nice, thats better
[21:54] <Yooshi> haha, send away
[21:54] <Elijah> soundray, how would i donwload packages in vista? what website
[21:54] <Yooshi> I'm using pidgin I'm not sure how to get DCC
[21:54] <Horscht> hi
[21:54] <yoshimit> hehe... I think I have a parent here...
[21:54] <Leefmc> Question: This'll sound a little odd, but does anyone know how to make it so that in firefox, if you click your url address bar, the entire text is selected by default? This is my main search bar, so damn near every time i have to "click it to select it, ctrl-a to select all, and delete (or start typing)". Its an unneeded habit.
[21:54] <MrWizeGuy1983> Yooshi, did you get the file transfer request?
[21:54] <Horscht> I am trying to install the package libgl1-mesa-dev, but I always get an error:
[21:54] <Horscht> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libgl1-mesa-dev_7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3_all.deb: Fehler beim Erzeugen des symbolischen Verweises »./usr/lib/libGL.so«
[21:55] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  I did, but its waiting
[21:55] <soundray> superkuh: would disabling automount in general be a solution for you?
[21:55] <Horscht> (error creating symbolic link)
[21:55] <Yooshi> for some reason I never have any luck with DCC
[21:55] <MrWizeGuy1983> i can email it to you if you like, can paste your email
[21:55] <joshritger> soundray: I finally got it to work, don't really know how, just kept doing it and it finally worked
[21:55] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983: yeah I'll pm you my email
[21:55] <superkuh> soundray: Not really. I find automount useful for manually transfering the pictures. I just don't want f-spot-import butting in.
[21:55] <MrWizeGuy1983> ok
[21:55] <apophis> Horscht, try / sudo rm /usr/lib/libGL.so and retry
[21:55] <soundray> joshritger: bluetooth is black magic sometimes
[21:56] <Wolfkin> I have an old corporate computer my sister got form her old job. It's not the most powerful thing out there so I thought I'd try to install Linux on it. My question is how should I go about reformatting the entire thing and installing Ubuntu?
[21:56] <joshritger> soundray: I have never had any issues in the past with it, I have used it with the past 3 releases
[21:56] <ompaul> Wolfkin, the install process will look after that, before you do, how powerful is it and how much ram, and how much disk
[21:56] <apophis> Wolfkin, you will be asked which drive you want to use during install, it will be automatically partitioned and formatted :) but be sure to copy your important data before that
[21:56] <yoshimit> crimsun_: do you think that I need to uninstall 2.6.24-19 ?
[21:56] <soundray> superkuh: have you seen System-Preferences-Removable Drives and Media ?
[21:56] <Wolfkin> sorry. brg
[21:57] <superkuh> Yes.
[21:57] <apophis> Wolfkin, if the machine is really quite old maybe xubunutu is even better
[21:57] <superkuh> That was the first thing I did.
[21:57] <superkuh> The second is detailed in the forum post.
[21:57] <s0ullight> just installed xmms :D
[21:58] <Horscht> apophis, same error
[21:58] <joshritger> does anyone know if envyng installs the nvidia control center?
[21:58] <soundray> superkuh: what happens when you replace 'f-spot-import' in that dialog with 'true'
[21:58] <soundray> ?
[21:58] <Horscht> but I wonder... it says "./usr/lib/libGL.so" not "/usr/lib/libGL.so", apophis
[21:59] <CorbinFox> is there a way to stop the fish from swimming from the Free the Fish app?
[21:59] <joshritger> nevermind, it does install it, just wasn't in the same place as last time
[21:59] <larson999> i never really understood envy and nvidia.  nvidia has been easy to install on it's own for about 10 years.
[22:00] <larson999> or maybe 8
[22:00] <apophis> Horscht, sorry I see it now
[22:00] <GizmoTheG> hmm, hardy heron (kubuntu 8.04) seems to not work on ps3 :/
[22:00] <Horscht> apophis, is that an error in the package?
[22:00] <yowshi> bloody indexer why is this damned desktop search thing standard now. and how do i uninstakll it
[22:00] <SpookyET> hi
[22:00] <apophis> Horscht,  I dont know... bet lets try to clean apt--- sudo apt-get clean
[22:00] <SpookyET> Would anyone care to explain /lib/udev/devices to me? How is it different than /dev?
[22:00] <apophis> maybe that helps
[22:01] <yowshi> this tracker/indexing thingy
[22:01] <superkuh> soundray: I did as you suggested. f-spot still intervenes. That does narrow down the problem a bit more, though. Thank you for your help.
[22:01] <Horscht> i'll give it a shot, apophis
[22:01] <elbasan_>  I have a digital camera ChameleonMega and I am trying to connect to my kubuntu\
[22:01] <soundray> superkuh: I think the way hardy handles removable devices is buggy
[22:01] <elbasan_> any help
[22:02] <apophis> SpookyET, the /dev devices are special files which are created by hand /dev/udev/ are devices which are created by the /udev/ service ... which is dynamic
[22:02] <yowshi> how do i make this desktop indexer thing not show up or start up on reboot?
[22:02] <NetEcho> the remote desktop tool under system preferences
[22:02] <NetEcho> can I connect to it using a VNC client?
[22:02] <apophis> NetEcho, yes
[22:02] <Horscht> apophis, the error still remains :(
[22:02] <RUS|jamzor> hello :XD
[22:02] <RUS|jamzor> so i downloaded wubi
[22:03] <BlackGlance> hello all
[22:03] <SpookyET> apophis: rubbish, only /dev/null /dev/console /dev/null are created by hand. the rest are virtual. Is everything /lib/udev/devices virtual?
[22:03] <RUS|jamzor> but hey
[22:03] <RUS|jamzor> who was the guy who helped me :D
[22:03] <RUS|jamzor> Is it safe to install ubuntu on C too?
[22:03] <RUS|jamzor> what about that partition?
[22:04] <apophis> SpookyET, I can create as many tty files as I want... are they dynamic?
[22:04] <soundray> superkuh: the behaviour you're describing clearly merits a bug report
[22:04] <apophis> SpookyET, but let me know if you know more :)
[22:04] <s0ullight> people i'm making a .deb of the xmms for hardy heron but i can't serve it is there anyone interested in distributing it?
[22:05] <superkuh> s0ullight: I have one.
[22:05] <SpookyET> apophis: boot with a livecd and mount the partition. look in dev. it should be empty except those 3 files
[22:05] <superkuh> s0ullight: Are you x86_64?
[22:05] <s0ullight> no i386
[22:05] <superkuh> http://superkuh.ath.cx/~superkuh/xmms_1.2.11-1_amd64.deb
[22:05] <superkuh> Oh...
[22:05] <superkuh> Oh well.
[22:06] <s3a> i got alot of rar files as extensions up to .r92 and one was a .rar and the unrar-free package didn't work for me so I got the rar package, the non-free package (rar) looked like it had the situation under control but i get an error message and the most important thing to note in that message is: Inappropriate ioctl for device   ---> What does this mean and what can I do about it?
[22:06] <s0ullight> superkuh, wanna serve it?
[22:06] <apophis> SpookyET, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev
[22:06] <xbj9000> s3a: not sure, but what apps have you used to try to open it?
[22:06] <SpookyET> apophis: i know what it is
[22:07] <superkuh> s0ullight: Serve what? Also, if you want help with xmms: http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/install-xmms-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html and then use checkinstall to make the deb. "$ checkinstall --install=no -D"
[22:07] <s3a> xbj9000: it needs to be extracted so i cant rely open them b4 extracting them which is wat i tried to do with these 2 packages (apps): rar and unrar-free
[22:07] <s0ullight> superkuh, i installed it and running it atm but for those who have difficulties i'm making a .deb but i can't serve it :(
[22:07] <superkuh> You might have to run checkinstall as root, or fakeroot so it won't complain, but didn't.
[22:07] <apophis> SpookyET, so why do you ask anyway... omg
[22:08] <superkuh> Oh. I see.
[22:08] <xbj9000> s3a, extract is what I meant by 'open', sorry
[22:08] <superkuh> Well, my bandwidth is fairly limited. I just keep debs there for friends.
[22:08] <superkuh> Sorry.
[22:08] <s0ullight> you don't have to feel bad :D
[22:08] <SpookyET> apophis: i asked which files are created by the file system and which are virtual
[22:08] <s0ullight> i'll find someplace :D
[22:08] <s3a> xbj9000: so u have no suggestions to help me? :(
[22:08] <peter86> my ubuntu cant launch movies .avi and other
[22:09] <xbj9000> only that I prefer to use xarchiver for .rar files
[22:09] <xbj9000> and sometimes if it doesn't work I use xarchive
[22:09] <xbj9000> similar name but different
[22:09] <chachin> hello

[22:10] <light_saber_> windows xp 2001?
[22:10] <xbj9000> yes, s3a

[22:11] <BlackGlance> ok. I have one question:
[22:11] <BlackGlance> hey. I have one question. when I click on Unmount Volume (it's flash memory) it says that I can deattach it safely, but in Windows the light on the flash memory turned off when I remove that.
[22:11] <RUS|jamzor> so can anyone help me with installing ubuntu with Wubi ???
[22:11] <chachin> this channel needs more ops and admins
[22:11] <Dee> i try it to install with wubi but dont boot on ubuntu
[22:11] <jamzore> But does it overwrite my windows or smth?
[22:11] <jamzore> and can i choose either ubuntu or xp
[22:11] <jamzore> when i boot my pc?
[22:11] <xbj9000> s3a do you know how to get xarchiver?
[22:12] <funkyHat> chachin: there are several around, they don't need to advertise that they are ops all the time. :)
[22:12] <jamzore> hey, anyone know?
[22:12] <BlackGlance> answer me pleas :)
[22:12] <s3a> xbj9000: is it in the repositories?
[22:12] <chachin> oh i see
[22:12] <xbj9000> s3a yes
[22:12] <apophis> jamzore, it can overwrite your windows, but you can also install a multiboot which means at bootup you can chose
[22:12] <soundray> !dualboot | jamzore
[22:12] <david_> hello. how do i remove evolution without removing ubuntu-desktop?
[22:12] <s3a> xbj9000: sudo apt-get install xarchiver?
[22:12] <chachin> wats the command to register my nick
[22:12] <jamzore> thx
[22:12] <funkyHat> BlackGlance: I believe that's because on windows, when you unmount a volume the power is cut too, but on Linux it is just unmounted but left powered
[22:13] <chachin> its the first time ever i been here on mIRC
[22:13] <xbj9000> yes s3a, sorry  :p
[22:13] <soundray> david_: you can't. It's safe to remove ubuntu-desktop, though, it's just a metapackage.
[22:13] <kymo> hello
[22:13] <Kirsch> hey guys i'm trying to debug some SMTP issues, when i telnet to one of my other servers via port 25 i get a response, however when i do it from my server, i don't, what would be the cause of this? i don't have iptables
[22:13] <apophis> chachin, welcome to IRC :)
[22:13] <chachin> sup apophis
[22:13] <funkyHat> BlackGlance: that means you can mount it again without having to unplug it and plug it back in again... so it could be seen as a good thing
[22:13] <david_> soundray, it removes too many programs i need...
[22:13] <BlackGlance> aha. thanks funkyHat
[22:13] <s3a> xbj9000: k, thx for ur help im gona go now
[22:13] <jpw27_> I'm only downloading at 1.4 KB/sec, but my connection is able for 160+.  is there any way to reset my internet connection?
[22:13] <soundray> david_: if you want to do a release upgrade sometime later, you should reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[22:13] <chachin> wats the command to register my nick
[22:13] <david_> register
[22:14] <xbj9000> ok s3a I hope that works for you
[22:14] <chachin> yea
[22:14] <soundray> !register | chachin
[22:14] <Wolfkin> ompaul and apophis thanks for responding. as I tried to imply earlier the computer isn't originally mine so I don't care for the data that's currently on it. I'm ok with wiping the whole thing out. It's currently running WinME I think or Win2000 i forget. I'll try the disc and it sounds like it should do what I want automatically.
[22:14] <chachin> wow
[22:14] <chachin> thats complicated
[22:14] <apophis> Wolfkin, maybe you should download the "Alternative" version, which only need 64MB (AFAIK)
[22:14] <funkyHat> hm
[22:14] <ompaul> Wolfkin, yeap but if under powered try xubuntu it works on lower powered machines
[22:15] <chachin> i tought it was only ./msg nickserv register nick pass
[22:15] <Dee> can anyone her help me to install ubuntu with a wubi i cant boot on ubuntu when i try to install????
[22:15] <Wolfkin> alternate.. ok I'll try that if this disc doesn't work
[22:15] <wiredman432> #leave
[22:15] <chachin> !!stats chachin
[22:15] <chachin> lol
[22:15] <funkyHat> Is Gmail swallowing encrypted messages, or does Launchpad take a while to send out the PGP key activation email?
[22:15] <Kirsch> does ubuntu add any security by default to filter some outgoing ports but not all?
[22:15] <chachin> !!elky
[22:15] <chachin> lol
[22:15] <Wolfkin> ok on a related note.. if I try to boot from the disc live and it doesn't work.. does it for sure mean that I can't install?
[22:15] <soundray> chachin: don't do this please
[22:15] <chachin> do wat
[22:16] <soundray> !botabuse | chachin
[22:16] <chachin> oh ok
[22:16] <xbj9000> wolfkin, is your PC set to boot from CDROM?
[22:16] <BABA_RECORD> !help what program i need to install my webcam ?
[22:16] <Wolfkin> is it
[22:16] <chachin> oh lol
[22:16] <Wolfkin> sorry.. it is
[22:16] <soundray> !webcam | BABA_RECORD
[22:16] <xbj9000> wolfkin does it skip the CD entirely or fail while trying to boot?
[22:17] <jamzore> !dualboot
[22:17] <jamzore> Resizing Partitions Using the Ubuntu Installer
[22:17] <jamzore> under this i dont get it
[22:17] <jamzore> Choose the First Option (It should be something like: "Resize IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) and use freed space").
[22:17] <Wolfkin> well i only tried one time.. it began to boot from disc.. i left it when I came back the screen was no longer showing the Ubuntu Logo.. it was just black and i had to force shutdown.
[22:17] <jamzore> where is this lol?
[22:18] <jamzore> is it on the installer or?
[22:18] <xbj9000> wolfkin you have low ram, right?
[22:18] <soundray> jamzore: when you start the installer from the live CD, you get to the partitioning options
[22:18] <apophis> jamzore, thats one of the steps in the installer, your Hard Drives might be different then the one in the example, if you have multiple harddrives, be sure you select the right one
[22:18] <chachin> why cant i see my stats
[22:18] <xbj9000> as someone said, the alternate CD may work better, otherwise you may want to go with a smaller Linux distro
[22:19] <chachin> (:
[22:19] <soundray> chachin: because that's not what ubottu is for
[22:19] <chachin> oh ok
[22:19] <jpw27_> I'm only downloading at 1.4 KB/sec, but my connection is capable of 160+.  is there any way to reset my internet connection, or do something to fix it?
[22:19] <Wolfkin> I might.. i don't really know. I only tried it once so I'll give it the old college try before I come back with more quesitosn
[22:19] <Wolfkin> I might --> I might have low ram
[22:19] <jamzore> which one should i do, automatic partitioning or manual partitioning?
[22:20] <xbj9000> wolfkin you don't know how much ram you have?
[22:20] <apophis> jpw27_,  have you tried to download from different server? sounds like its the server which delivers slow
[22:20] <magic_ninja> jpw27_, sudo ifdown eth0 (try eth1 or eth2 if that doesn't work) then when that goes through sudo ifup eth0
[22:20] <soundray> jamzore: your choice. Make sure you understand what you do from those help pages before you go ahead.
[22:20] <jamzore> I do.
[22:20] <jamzore> BUt just wondering if ive never done this before
[22:20] <jamzore> and i dont have anything too important on my pc
[22:20] <jamzore> :p
[22:20] <jamzore> if i fuck it up
[22:20] <Wolfkin> nope.. it's a computer my sister got form her job.. they were tossing a TON of them said she could have it.
[22:20] <soundray> jamzore: use professional language in here
[22:20] <xbj9000> jamzore, there is nothing important on the hard drives?
[22:21] <jamzore> nop
[22:21] <ronnie> i am using a LCD with 1680*1050 real resolution and why ubuntu cant let me running with such resolution?
[22:21] <Wolfkin> the computer I'm using right now is mine.. this is just a 'spare' i've acquired trying to work with. see what use it is.
[22:21] <chachin> .rr
[22:21] <xbj9000> wolfkin is there a Windows OS on it right now?  you could use it to find out how much ram is available etc.
[22:21] <chachin> nothing happens lol
[22:21] <soundray> !lol | chachin
[22:21] <Wolfkin> there is a windows OS but i don't knoow the corporate password they had.
[22:21] <xbj9000> jamzore if there is nothing on the hard drive then don't worry too much about it   :p
[22:22] <chachin> lol
[22:22] <jamzore> :>
[22:22] <aixenv> i got my live rock for my saltwater tank yay!
[22:22] <chachin> thats lol
[22:22] <ronnie> lol omg
[22:22] <xbj9000> wolfkin can you look at the BIOS when the computer begins to boot?
[22:22] <aixenv> afternoon gang
[22:22] <chachin> omg lol
[22:22] <Wolfkin> sure that i can do
[22:22] <soundray> ronnie: try configuring your monitor with gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[22:22] <jpw27_> apophis: it could be the server, my connection goes up and down from 2 to 80 and all in between.
[22:22] <chachin> soundry was up
[22:22] <Wolfkin> that id idn't thikn of before.. aside from changing the boot order
[22:22] <xbj9000> wolfkin I would look in the BIOS for info on ram and cpu speed, then make a choice of OS based on that
[22:22] <chachin> ronnie aklfsdfjs;kfja
[22:22] <bluefoxx> whats the ati driver package?
[22:23] <chachin> lol
[22:23] <soundray> chachin: this is a support channel. Please stop spamming
[22:23] <ronnie> soundray: all right, i will try it
[22:23] <chachin> !lol
[22:23] <chachin> lool
[22:23] <apophis> jpw27_, I am quite sure its the server, try a fast server as a test
[22:23] <rgsteele||home> Hey folks.  Anybody know why changes made in the network manager disappear after reboot?  I set the DNS server in the network manager, but when I reboot, it defaults to 192.168.1.1 again.
[22:23] <soundray> !ops | chachin spamming
[22:23] <jpw27_> apophis: ok
[22:23] <chachin> so whats that
[22:23] <soundray> Thanks Mez
[22:24] <nouvo> lol
[22:24] <nouvo> ubuntu
[22:24] <soundray> chachin: do you have any more support questions?
[22:24] <xbj9000> jamzore the ubuntu partitioner in install will automate the partitioning if you want it too, but in my opinion it isn't the best partition scheme
[22:24] <chachin> nope
[22:24] <MrWizeGuy1983> i have one
[22:24] <amenado> rgsteele||home-> are you using dhcp? look in your dhclient.conf for the settings
[22:24] <chachin> ill be silent
[22:24] <Dee> hello ubunuts? can anyone help me or not?
[22:24] <soundray> chachin: you might want to join #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting
[22:25] <MrWizeGuy1983> help with what Dee ?
[22:25] <nouvo> i take a chair
[22:25] <chachin> oh ok

[22:25] <Mez> !ot | chachin
[22:26] <chachin> ok wats this
[22:26] <chachin> oh i see
[22:26] <jpw27_> apophis: i feel silly I had to get on a support channel for "try a different server"
[22:26] <apophis> jpw27_, you're welcome :)
[22:26] <Li-Plus> I require help with running the nvidia driver installer. It fails in building kernel module. I have build-essential I'm not sure what is wrong
[22:26] <chachin> so this channel is for ubunto stuff and u people dont like playing around
[22:26] <tripps> does anyone know whether the latest version of ati restricted drivers on hardy support hibernate?
[22:26] <Azzuron> Hello Ubuntu Fans :)
[22:26] <Myrtti> chachin: true
[22:26] <chachin> lol ok
[22:27] <Yooshi> back
[22:27] <rgsteele||home> amenado: I am.  Thanks for the tip - I was able to temporarily work around the issue after viewing this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/91890
[22:27] <chachin> i have a problem with some (xp antivirus)
[22:27] <rgsteele||home> Let's see if it works...
[22:27] <yoshimit> crimsun_: sorry for asking but... any tip ??
[22:27] <Yooshi> I had a severe memory leak a bit ago... how do I setup a swap partition in linux?
[22:27] <chachin> it downloaded it self into my computer
[22:27] <soundray> chachin: try ##windows
[22:27] <Mez> chachin, there is so much stuff that happens in here, that random junk not related to support just makes the channel harder to follow
[22:27] <apophis> chachin, its simple, that channel here is high-traffic its difficult enough to see the real request without spammers like you!
[22:27] <chachin> pj cpp;
[22:28] <chachin> im not spaming
[22:28]  * Yooshi is installing gparted
[22:28] <chachin> im asking for help
[22:28] <Mez> chachin,  this is a support channel for UBUNTU
[22:28] <soundray> chachin: this is Ubuntu help -- not Windows
[22:28] <xbj9000> chachin you are asking a Windows specific question if I understand correctly
[22:28] <chachin> ok ok i get it
[22:28] <Mez> !feedthetroll
[22:28] <rgsteele||home> amenado: Though, I don't see in the manpages anywhere where I can specify search directives.
[22:28] <rgsteele||home> Bummer
[22:28] <Li-Plus> anyone able to help me problem solve my nvidia driver installation problem
[22:28] <antonsky> hi guys
[22:29] <Ahmed_> i will go out now
[22:29] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983: I have 3GB linux swap
[22:29] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  well almost
[22:29] <nouvo> did you read "ubu king" from alfred jarry?
[22:29] <antonsky> i am using wmii, when i had gutsy, shortcuts like fn+left worked fine but now with hardy heron they arent working with rhythmbox
[22:29] <almostdvs> what is the command to list the installed kernels?
[22:29] <antonsky> what do i need to start
[22:30] <antonsky> for working shortcuts
[22:30] <bluefoxx> what driver do i need for 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600]
[22:30] <bluefoxx> 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] (Secondary)
[22:30] <bluefoxx> ?
[22:30] <amenado> rgsteele||home-> search? is that a directive you are looking for in dhclient.conf? i dont believe it is..
[22:30] <soundray> almostdvs: dpkg -l linux-image*
[22:30] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  according to gparted sda1 ext3 90GB sda2 extended 2.89GB and sda5 swap 2.89GB
[22:30] <rgsteele||home> amenado: It's a directive usually placed in the resolv.conf
[22:30] <lars__> Li-Plus: you installed the kernel headers too?
[22:30] <rgsteele||home> e.g., "search domain.tld"
[22:30] <almostdvs> soundray: ok, now the one to remove one of said kernels
[22:30] <bluefoxx> cause i cant find anything ati in the repos
[22:30] <rgsteele||home> But, it seems /etc/resolv.conf gets blown away every reboot.
[22:30] <rgsteele||home> The thread I mentioned above is just a workaround
[22:31] <amenado> rgsteele||home-> but your dhclient request does that, to overwrite your resolv.conf
[22:31] <apophis> bluefoxx, you are running hardy?
[22:31] <aditya1> i want to dual boot with ubuntu 7.10 and windows, currently i only ubuntu is installed, how do i do that ??? last time when i installed xp after ubuntu, ubuntu crashed...what do i do now ???
[22:31] <bluefoxx> apophis: of course
[22:31] <soundray> almostdvs: pardon?
[22:31] <Yooshi> anybody know how to locate processes leaking memory?
[22:31] <amenado> rgsteele||home-> i'd like you to look at my suggestion okay?
[22:31] <xbj9000> bluefoxx, do you not get an icon in your taskbar asking if you want to use the proprietary ati driver?
[22:31] <Yooshi> other than proc manager?
[22:31] <vocx> apophis, you kidding? Now I don't see how anybody can stop Germany!
[22:31] <nouvo> do not open before xmas
[22:31] <bluefoxx> i really hate ati....even to the point that i just got in a fight cause i couldnt find the damn driver[dont ask]
[22:31] <funkyHat> aditya1: it is easier to do if you install Windows first, but it's possible the other way round too
[22:32] <bluefoxx> xbj9000: no, its not there
[22:32] <K^Holtz> My printer just complained that it was out of ink, but i have no way of telling which cartridge is out. I have a Canon IP5000 printer. In windows, a box would come up with printer properties, but i dont have this in Linux. Any way to get those canon windows to display?
[22:32] <apophis> bluefoxx, / System / Admin / Hardware for the closed source drivers
[22:32] <jpw27_> can live CD's install straight to a flash drive?
[22:32] <bluefoxx> apophis: it doesnt show up there
[22:32] <apophis> bluefoxx, oh :/ thats bad
[22:32] <bluefoxx> apophis: xbj9000 or in the repo search...
[22:32] <aditya1> funkyHat: i know about that but i dont want to lose data and installed packages now and only ubuntu is installed
[22:32] <amenado> Yooshi-> btw, how do you know it is leaking ?
[22:32] <almostdvs> soundray: i have an old kernel i want to get rid of, how do i do it from terminal (by the way the first command is not correct)
[22:32] <rgsteele||home> amenado: Ah, I see, it's in the request directive in dhclient.conf
[22:32] <apophis> vocx, I havent said anything about germany today ;) however I am surprised about the russians
[22:33] <funkyHat> aditya1: although you will need to do the partitoning in Linux (i.e. Windows can't resize linux partitions, so if your Ubuntu install is using all of the disc space currently you'll have to change that before installing windows)
[22:33] <bluefoxx> apophis: xbj9000 i know its a radeon 9600 agp 8x
[22:33] <vocx> K^Holtz, that might be some specific windows software. So maybe the "driver" works but every features hasn't been implemented in linux.
[22:33] <soundray> almostdvs: just to clarify: I volunteer to help here, but that doesn't make me your lackey
[22:33] <nouvo> chalk
[22:33] <Yooshi> hmm why is nautilus killing my cpu when I try to do searches?
[22:33] <aditya1> funkyHat: i have two partitions, one is ext3(/) and another is FAT
[22:33] <K^Holtz> vocx: so with my IP5000 i would have no way to determine what c
[22:34] <K^Holtz> vocx: so with my IP5000 i would have no way to determine what cartridge is low?
[22:34] <funkyHat> aditya1: ok, are you planning to install windows on the FAT partition?
[22:34] <apophis> Yooshi, killing your cpu? is it burning? :D
[22:34] <Yooshi> haha no... but its maxing its use
[22:34] <soundray> almostdvs: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic'
[22:34] <funkyHat> aditya1: also, you don't have a swap partition?
[22:34] <vocx> K^Holtz, maybe not. Can't you open the printer and find out, or maybe do a test prints?
[22:34] <Yooshi> ahhh I found our problem
[22:34] <bluefoxx> apophis: so what do i do?
[22:34] <apophis> Yooshi, if its a local search than its ok
[22:34] <Yooshi> nautilus in gksu likes to use up everything there is
[22:34] <almostdvs> naw ur cool.. theres usually just like two guys in here that are really knowledgeable and helpful at a given time
[22:34] <aditya1> funkyHat: i have that too
[22:34] <Yooshi> lmao... really? local
[22:35] <apophis> bluefoxx, sorry, no idea
[22:35] <vocx> apophis, now is the time for Spain to show they can win this stuff.
[22:35] <lenswipe> does anyone know where i can go to get supoort for phpbb mods?
[22:35] <bluefoxx> apophis: damn.
[22:35] <apophis> vocx, spain, italy... wheres the difference
[22:35] <K^Holtz> vocx: the only way to determine is to visually examine the cartridges, but thats not so easy if they are all low
[22:35] <bluefoxx> so im basically screwed ><
[22:35] <lenswipe> NOTE: #phpbb doesnt provide mod support
[22:35] <xbj9000> bluefoxx hang on I'll find the name of the driver
[22:35] <nouvo> ubuntu
[22:35] <K^Holtz> just a little dissapointing im going to have to put windows on a partition just to check my printer
[22:35] <nouvo> u b u n t u
[22:35] <aditya1> in fact four paritions, 1st ext3 /(boot) , 2nd swap , 3rd ext3 (/home) and 4th FAT
[22:35] <bluefoxx> xbj9000: ty
[22:35] <soundray> almostdvs: so use your skills of politeness to show your appreciation
[22:35] <apophis> bluefoxx, no maybe someone else  can help, or search for your grafic card and ubuntu with google
[22:36] <Myrtti> nouvo: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[22:36] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983: I found the problem
[22:36] <whileimhere> I've installed and uninstalled with apt-get a ton of programs. I am sure that there are packages still taking up room on my harddrive. Is there an apt-get command to purge my system of any unneeded deb and config files?
[22:36] <nouvo> i can't install it
[22:36] <Yooshi> now it won't stop
[22:36] <almostdvs> ur awesome thank you
[22:36] <bluefoxx> apophis: tried that first actually...
[22:36] <Yooshi> how can I stop linux from using more resources after I have already killed the process?
[22:36] <daigorobr> whileimhere: use apt-get autoremove
[22:36] <nouvo> "lol"
[22:36] <amenado> whileimhere-> hard disk are cheap..get another new one
[22:36] <lenswipe> almostdvs: i know i am :) thanks for saying so...
[22:36] <whileimhere> thanks
[22:36] <AquaFox> I have a reeeally wide wallpaper. I want it to stretch to my 4 desktops (if I ctrl+alt+right I see more of it). How to do that?
[22:37] <rgsteele||home> amenado: Thanks for the tip.  Adjusting the dhclient.conf to supersede the domain name and prepend the necessary DNS server seems to have fixed my issue.
[22:37] <daigorobr> whileimhere: and install and run deborphan. you should then be okay.
[22:37] <whileimhere> thank you
[22:37] <nouvo> do not open before xmas
[22:37] <apophis> bluefoxx, lets try something... type aticonfig in a console
[22:37] <nouvo> it's written on the box
[22:37] <soundray> whileimhere: 'sudo apt-get autoremove' cleans out orphaned packages. Consider also 'apt-get autoclean'
[22:37] <vocx> K^Holtz, I hope you are saying that as a joke and lot like a flaim bait.
[22:37] <funkyHat> aditya1: ok cool :) so you're planning to install windows on the FAT partition that you already have... that's cool, what you need to do is do that, and then using the ubuntu install CD rebuild GRUB (The boot selector)
[22:37] <amenado> rgsteele||home-> am glad it worked out
[22:37] <soundray> whileimhere: man apt-get makes for good reading
[22:37] <funkyHat> aditya1: don't worry it's not very difficult :)
[22:37] <bluefoxx> apophis: bluefoxx@azUre-prIDE:~$ aticonfig
[22:37] <nouvo> boom
[22:37] <bluefoxx> The program 'aticonfig' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[22:37] <bluefoxx> sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[22:37] <bluefoxx> bash: aticonfig: command not found
[22:37] <bluefoxx> bluefoxx@azUre-prIDE:~$
[22:37] <FloodBot2> bluefoxx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:37] <bluefoxx> oop
[22:37] <nouvo> haha
[22:38] <apophis> bluefoxx, do that :)
[22:38] <bluefoxx> kk
[22:38] <Yooshi> great, no helpp I'll brb to reboot once again
[22:38] <Yooshi> 64bit was better
[22:38] <KyleK> bluefoxx: interesting computer name ;)
[22:38] <nouvo> reboot
[22:38] <nouvo> r e b o o t
[22:38] <vocx> K^Holtz, beside I don't know if printers "actually" can measure ink levels. Maybe they really can't, they just estimate how many times you've printed something and give you information based on that. After all they only want you to buy more cartridges.
[22:38] <Elijah> how do i reset my network settings to default
[22:38] <aditya1> funkyHat: ok got hang of it...now i should install xp, and then again install grub loader from ubuntu cd right ?
[22:38] <zyx386> !ڤعرئس
[22:39] <zyx386> !virus
[22:39] <bluefoxx> KyleK: thanks. see the hardware related reference in it?
[22:39] <Jaffarkelshac> i am getting an IOPl not enabled error when trying to use office with wine (it worked previously)
[22:39] <nouvo> it's horrible zyx386
[22:39] <poisonkiller> Yooshi: when you have killed all processes, you cant stop ubuntu from using more :S
[22:39] <apophis> ¨!
[22:39] <nouvo> i made a mistake with the eat process
[22:40] <xbj9000> bluefoxx, I was just going to tell you to install xorg-driver-fglrx    :p
[22:40] <Jaffarkelshac> i am getting an IOPl not enabled error when trying to use office with wine (it worked previously)
[22:40] <bluefoxx> xbj9000: ah, well thanks everyone :)
[22:40] <legend2440> K^Holtz:  in synaptic there is package called  mtink. it works well to tell me how much ink is left in my epson. according to the description it may work for canon and hp as well. worth a try i guess
[22:40] <K^Holtz> vocx: Canon measures im pretty sure, the cartridges are always bone dry when im told to replace them (they are clear so i can see). Its no big deal, maybe ill search around for some linux drivers on their site
[22:40] <nouvo> it's horrible
[22:40] <aditya1> funkyHat: u there ?
[22:40] <amenado> whose done gre tunnelling ? is it worth the while or have to go with openvn tunnelling?
[22:40] <xbj9000> bluefoxx did you try that?
[22:40] <K^Holtz> legend2440: thank you
[22:41] <poisonkiller> Jaffarkelshac: use #winehq channel for wine-related questions please
[22:41] <bluefoxx> xbj9000: its downloading now...im on dialup
[22:41] <poisonkiller> Jaffarkelshac: you will probably get better answers there :)
[22:41] <notluke> Anyone know where to find a list of gnutls ciphers?  I can't seem to get slapd to work becaues I don't know how to format the cipher list.
[22:41] <Jaffarkelshac> i will give that a try
[22:41] <xbj9000> it sounds like maybe you don't have ubuntu-restricted-extras, which I believe includes fglrx
[22:42] <xbj9000> sorry that was to bluefoxx
[22:42] <nouvo> my condoleances
[22:42] <AquaFox> I have a reeeally wide wallpaper. I want it to stretch to my 4 desktops (if I ctrl+alt+right I see more of it). How to do that?
[22:42] <K^Holtz> legend2440: unfortunately my IP5000 isnt supported. Ill search around for similar programs tho
[22:43] <apophis> !offtopic | nouvo
[22:43] <nouvo> hi ubottu
[22:43] <xbj9000> aquafox maybe you can just separate the image into 4 sections and use one with each desktop
[22:43] <legend2440> K^Holtz: http://www.linux.com/feature/123734
[22:43] <nouvo> welcome
[22:43] <whileimhere> Aquafox I would love to know that one myself
[22:43] <vocx> K^Holtz, synaptic and apt are really great tools. There seems to be a another one, or maybe is the same: "ink"
[22:43] <funkyHat> aditya1: yes, make sure you're VERY careful when you're selecting which partition you want to install Windows on though. And come back on here when you've booted into the live CD and I (or someone) can talk you through reinstalling GRUB
[22:43] <bluefoxx> xbj9000: no, restricted-extras is indeed installed
[22:43] <AquaFox> xbj9000, does gnome have a feature of a wallpaper per desktop :O?
[22:43] <notluke> nm, found it.  "gnutls-cli -l", though it doesn't appear to have any group options that I can see, like "HIGH".
[22:44] <xbj9000> aquafox I'm not sure, but I know KDE does
[22:44] <AquaFox> :)
[22:44] <nouvo> what is ubuntu's hit?
[22:44] <AquaFox> Thanks.
[22:45] <xbj9000> aquafox on quick checking I didn't find an option for different backgrounds
[22:45] <aditya1> funkyHat: last time i lost all the data, i dont want to lose data this time, i'll 1st install xp then boot ubuntu from live cd, ok ?
[22:45] <rainabba> with FF3 final, how do I explicitly allow popups for a domain?
[22:45] <apophis> nouvo, do you need help? If not you are welcome in the ubuntu offtopic channel #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:45] <AquaFox> xbj9000, thanks :).
[22:46] <nouvo> ah ok
[22:46] <hanophix33> can anyone tell me why flash videos in firefox look very framey or looks like they have "blinds" coming down
[22:46] <tarelerulz> Is a way just to  rewrite the os files themself and not the whole partition. So if you broke the os you could just restore it and keep all the say movies , picture , song , etc personal files on there.
[22:46] <funkyHat> aditya1: yes, be careful when windows is asking you where to install itself, if it hasn't asked you before it says it's copying files or it's started installing, don't let it continue!
[22:46] <nouvo> thank you
[22:46] <funkyHat> aditya1: in fact, if you delete the FAT partition from Linux, you can tell Windows to fill the unused space I think
[22:46] <xbj9000> linux Flash is not well done and tends to run poorly
[22:47] <apophis> tarelerulz, you want to resize a partition? gparted can do that with certain filesytems
[22:47] <vocx> tarelerulz, copy the files you want to an external drive and reinstall. Usually you'd copy your /home
[22:47] <aditya1>  funkyHat: ok, thank you!!! see you soon
[22:47] <hanophix33> xbj9000:  any fixes
[22:47] <poisonkiller> AquaFox: try splitting that wallpaper into 4 pieces
[22:48] <xbj9000> hanophix33 I'm not sure, my PC is fast enough to run it anyway
[22:48] <nouvo> i got an amstrad
[22:48] <poisonkiller> AquaFox: and then you can apply every piece to corresponding virtual desktop
[22:48] <apophis> hanophix33, running compiz?
[22:48] <xbj9000> poisonkiller, we thought of that but gnome doesn't seem to have an option for different backgrounds on different desks
[22:48] <blumm> hi :)
[22:49] <legend2440> K^Holtz: ink should work for you. it is a frontend for Libinklevel which lists your printer as supported
[22:49] <vocx> tarelerulz, it is a smart move to setup a different partition only for your data in case you need to reinstall. Although in many cases, configuration of programs can be restored by simply copying the hidden files in /home
[22:49] <poisonkiller> xbj9000: you can use that compiz 3d cube
[22:49] <anteaya> what is hald and why does it take up so much of my cpu?
[22:49] <xbj9000> ah right hanophix33, turning off desktop effects might help
[22:49] <blumm> is it possible to setup eye of gnome to adjust the size of the viewer to the size of the picture, when opened?
[22:49] <tarelerulz> I know there is a way to just rewrite the os files in windows and I am sure there is way in Ubuntu.  Take Fedora could I could reinstall grub with the installer cd .  I mean all break the os itself at times and just need to over write those files
[22:49] <kidsfinkter> Hi - I get this error when I try to log in to my Ubuntu 8.04 machine: "The GNOME session manager was unable to lock the file 'home/pete/.ICEauthority'." have tried the fixes here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3261023&postcount=10 and here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5075875&postcount=14 --- can anyone help me?
[22:49] <lufis> Has anyone had any luck trying to connect to the newer models of the razr v3? None of the p2k apps work with my phone.
[22:50] <K^Holtz> legend2440: yea, im in the process of downloading it now
[22:50] <K^Holtz> thanks
[22:50] <vocx> tarelerulz, well, restoring grub is not restoring the whole OS as you may think, but you can do it too in ubuntu
[22:50] <funkyHat> kidsfinkter: can you get to a login shell on the machine and check using df for free space on your / (or /home) partition?
[22:50] <vocx> !grub | tarelerulz
[22:51] <hanophix33> xbj9000: does the newly released flash help?
[22:51] <xbj9000> for some people it seems to yes
[22:51] <xbj9000> are you running on older hardware?
[22:51] <kidsfinkter> funkyHal: plenty of free space on /dev/sda1 - only used 38% of ~70GB drive
[22:52] <hanophix33> xbj9000:  yes and with desktop effects on
[22:52] <incorrect> what package has apache2-ssl-certificate?
[22:52] <xbj9000> did you try turning the effects off, hanophix33?
[22:52] <tarelerulz> Vocx I  know grub is just the boot loader ,but I was just saying it was easy to reintall it.   I have never seen such as option in Ubuntu's install cd.  The reason I ask about all this is broke my windows install and I  made me thing about maybe I should look into back up Ubuntu so that can't happen to me on here.  It is my main os.
[22:52] <hanophix33> xbj9000:  no, didnt think that would have anything to do with it
[22:53] <xbj9000> well it could free up some CPU for Flash
[22:53] <george> free
[22:53] <hanophix33> i see
[22:54] <xbj9000> also hanophix33, are you trying to browse youtube by any chance?
[22:54] <hyppias> is wammu useful to connect to a nokia 6021 ?
[22:54] <vocx> tarelerulz, I have a hard time reading your post. Anyway, you can reinstall grub with "update-grub", but as you say, with the install CD as with fedora, no. But maybe with the grub cd.
[22:54] <Li-Plus> can anyone help me figure out why the nvidia kernel module isn't building with the nvidia program to automate the process
[22:55] <purplestar> is there a FTP client for Hardy?
[22:55] <xbj9000> gftp
[22:55] <vocx> !ftp| purplestar
[22:55] <purplestar> ok great
[22:55] <purplestar> gFTP recommendd by most people?
[22:55] <xbj9000> I like it
[22:55] <vocx> !best | purplestar
[22:56] <purplestar> i know "best" is relative :)
[22:56] <apophis> oh thats a nice factoid ;D
[22:56] <blumm> purplestar: theres nothing comparable to flashfxp or ftprush in windows :/
[22:56] <tarelerulz> What is good bit torrent client?   I have Azureus ,but I broke it some how .
[22:56] <apophis> purplestar,  gFTP will suit you for a start maybe you try different ones later
[22:56] <doubled> hi, i was wondering where i can obtain foobar.
[22:56] <vocx> !torrent | tarelerulz
[22:56] <amenado> tarelerulz-> you're looking for the grub command in the iso?  you may hve to decompress the initrd to see it
[22:57] <george> how does gdesklets work?
[22:57] <|seb|> how get local changes to an installed package?
[22:57] <purplestar> is there a good HTML editor for Hardy?
[22:57] <|seb|> is there some apt-get command?
[22:57] <vocx> |seb|, what "local" changes?
[22:57] <purplestar> apophis, ok
[22:57] <amenado> tarelerulz-> or perhaps its in the squash file system
[22:57] <purplestar> apophis, is there a good HTML editor for Hardy? something similar to NVU?
[22:57] <rjre> does gFTP support recursive subdirectory transfers?
[22:57] <MrWizeGuy1983> wb Yooshi
[22:57] <|seb|> vocx: i made changes to modules.alias in the linux kernel image and want to revert them
[22:58] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  I've been back a few times
[22:58] <MrWizeGuy1983> you get your virtual memory sorted out yet Yooshi ?
[22:58] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  I know what is causing the sudden spike
[22:58] <MrWizeGuy1983> what was it?
[22:58] <purplestar> is there a good WYSIWYG HTML editor for Hardy?
[22:58] <vocx> |seb|, I'm not familiar with that term. You recompiled the kernel or what?
[22:58] <doubled> hi, i was wondering where i can obtain foobar?
[22:58] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983: not really... but gparted says I have a swap partition worth 2.9GB
[22:58] <|seb|> vocx: no i just tweaked a default install
[22:58] <kidsfinkter> funkyHat: plenty of free space on /dev/sda1 - only used 38% of ~70GB drive
[22:58] <hanophix33> xbj9000:  no ted.com
[22:58] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983: searching in nautilus suddenly hordes everything, ram, swap, cpu
[22:59] <Dasmoover> hey does anyone know how to get rid of the desktop folder?
[22:59] <|seb|> vocx: can dpkg or apt-get tell you how your install differs from virgin install?
[22:59] <MrWizeGuy1983> what does nautilus do Yooshi ?
[22:59] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  in other words, I can't do local search because of that
[22:59] <nickrud> |seb| you can do apt-get source <package> , you'll get the pristine source along with a diff
[22:59] <purplestar> apophis, any clue?
[22:59] <xbj9000> hanophix33: I asked because there is a youtube plugin for Totem that works well
[22:59] <Yooshi> nautilus? Thats part of your file browser and ftp
[22:59] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak, hey there
[22:59] <|seb|> nickrud: THANK YOU!!!
[22:59] <vocx> |seb|, you mean you modified a text file named modules.alias?   I don't think it can tell you, but you should be able to reinstall it.
[22:59] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: hey...
[22:59] <MrWizeGuy1983> hmmm
[22:59] <kidsfinkter> Dasmoover: simple way is to install TweakUbuntu and use it to use the home folder as the desktop folder
[22:59] <kidsfinkter> then delete the desktop folder
[23:00] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak, you will know this :) is there a good WYSIWYG HTML editor for Hardy?
[23:00] <wabash> Does anyone here program Ruby? I'd like to find a good editor or IDE
[23:00] <MrWizeGuy1983> only using 29.3 mb on mine Yooshi does it only do it when you search?
[23:00] <Dasmoover> kidfinkter: I did, anyway to get rid of the emblem?
[23:00] <wabash> For Hardy
[23:00] <|seb|> vocx: yea
[23:00] <anteaya> doubled: you have been mis-lead.  Foobar is a dummy word to mean "your code goes here"
[23:00] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: hmm, idont know why you'd think i'd know that...lol i think there's one...
[23:00] <xbj9000> here is another trick you can try, hanophix33: pause the flash video and let it load, then go in /tmp and you should see it in there with a name like "Flash546ghy78js.flv"
[23:00] <IndyGunFreak> !wysiwig
[23:00] <kidsfinkter> Dasmoover: what emblem where?
[23:00] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  thats right, if I do any searching it rips from my resources
[23:00] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak, if you remember what its called, please let me know
[23:00] <Dasmoover> on my homme folder there's the desktop emblem
[23:00] <billenium> My gnome-panels are gone... I removed them and reinstalled them but they are still gone :( Help!
[23:00] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  I can use nautilus normally without searching though
[23:00] <apophis> purplestar, I dont know of any wysiwyg editor :)
[23:01] <peterlh> when i ssh to a machine, my term is still called peter@laptop.. really annoying when trying to find the right window... how come? should i install anything?
[23:01] <hanophix33> xbj9000: thanks
[23:01] <apophis> sorry
[23:01] <nickrud> !resetpanels | billenium
[23:01] <purplestar> apophis, :P
[23:01] <purplestar> !html editor
[23:01] <kidsfinkter> Dasmoover: r-click the home folder > emblems > remove the emblem --- does it really matter?
[23:01] <MrWizeGuy1983> where do you go to search? i generally go to places and search
[23:01] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: seamonkey composer maybe?
[23:01] <vocx> |seb|, if you only modified the text file I don't see how that is such a big problem, might as well ask for the same file form another user. But I fail to see how it would be useful to read the source code for such small change.
[23:01] <IndyGunFreak> i think thats it.
[23:01] <billenium> !reset
[23:01] <AAA^> shit, that's alot of users...
[23:01] <billenium> !reset panels

[23:02] <purplestar> apophis, KompoZer is the one :) NVU
[23:02] <billenium> i forgot to copy it
[23:02] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, maybe trying html first?
[23:02] <purplestar> apophis, E: Couldn't find package KompoZer
[23:02]  * IndyGunFreak thinks ubotu should think nickrud for the break because billenium didn't spend 10 more minutes figuring that out
[23:02] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: lol, its not for me.. trst me.
[23:02] <IndyGunFreak> *thank.. damn i'm tired
[23:03] <anteaya> wabash, i use scite

[23:03] <private_meta> does anyone here know what the problem could be when flash in firefox3 under ubuntu 8.04 doesn't have audio-output?
[23:03] <nickrud> IndyGunFreak of course ubottu thinks nickrud ;)
[23:03] <apophis> purplestar, write in small letters
[23:03] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: lol, thats exhaustion coming out, some people keep me up till 3-4am asking questions..lol
[23:03] <vocx> purplestar, dude, it's obviously not the exact spelling...
[23:03] <aditya1> But I still have my doubts, whether a grub residing in the MBR can boot windows by jumping to the boot sector of the first partition...
[23:03] <billenium> Resetting my gnome-panels did nothing... All it said was "No Process Killed"
[23:03] <purplestar> apophis, hehe that worked :)
[23:04] <Hilikus> is there a way to define the timezone for php so that after a distro upgrade it doesnt get overwritten? i usually do it in php.ini but it gets reset every time i update

[23:04] <nickrud> billenium ok, type  alt-f2 gnome-panel   to start them
[23:04] <vipester> can someone help me finish my configuration of wpa?  i can detect but cant connect
[23:04] <apophis> purplestar, I know ;) apt-cache search <keyword> helps
[23:04] <ZLemur> evening
[23:04] <xbj9000> snowie: reset?
[23:04] <eimajenthat> hello all, I was looking at the boot options in my grub menu.lst.  After the location of the kernel image, it says "ro quiet splash".  I'm guessing "quiet" suppresses some of the output, and "splash" throws up a splash screen, but doesn't "ro" usually stand for "read-only"?  What is it making read-only, and why?
[23:05] <purplestar> apophis, kompozer was exactly what I was after!  Im used to NVU on Vista and its the same as NVU :) thanks
[23:05] <soundray> !info libflashsupport | private_meta
[23:05] <Snowie> is it possible to reset your hdd using ubuntu?
[23:05] <nickrud> eimajenthat that's the initial status, it gets remounted rw later in the boot
[23:05] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: but its kde... ::shutters::
[23:05] <xbj9000> snowie what do you mean by reset
[23:05] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak, whats KDE?
[23:05] <Snowie> erase
[23:05] <Snowie> purge completely
[23:05] <Snowie> as if it was new
[23:05] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: lol, you can't be serious
[23:05] <vocx> eimajenthat, I don't exactly now either, but it seems it mounts the kernel read only so no one can modify it, or if it fails it becomes read only, something like that.
[23:05] <IndyGunFreak> !kde | purplestar
[23:05] <apophis> purplestar, you're welcome
[23:05] <xbj9000> snowie yes
[23:05] <visitoru> anyone here use fakeraid (dmraid)? why isn't this part of the distro? having a hell of a time installing.
[23:05] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak, im running Gnome.  Does it matter or hurt anything if I install kompozer?
[23:05] <Snowie> xbj9000 how?
[23:06] <nickrud> Snowie yes, run   sudo cfdisk /dev/<device> , and remove the partitions. Do it with a live cd
[23:06] <Tallken> eimajenthat: if you feel like messing with it, remove splash and quiet, you get a verbose and Gentooish boot ;)
[23:06] <xbj9000> with gparted

[23:07] <vocx> Elijah, maybe "iwconfig" or "ifconfig" in the terminal
[23:07] <doubled> hi, i was wondering where i can obtain foobar?
[23:07] <apophis> Elijah, ifconfig
[23:07] <nickrud> eimajenthat I'd have to watch the boot sequence again to be sure
[23:07] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: affirmative, presuming you install all the kde dependencies(which apt-get/synaptic will do when you install it)
[23:07] <soundray> ZLemur: only the alternate CD
[23:07] <ZLemur> without messing anything up, i mean. got windows on the same hdd and don't want to break it
[23:07] <purplestar> whats the most favourite CD/DVD burning sofware for Gnome?
[23:07] <xbj9000> ZLemur, do you want to have a fresh install or just add the Gnome desktop?
[23:07] <IndyGunFreak> !gnomebaker | purplestar
[23:07] <IndyGunFreak> what the...
[23:07] <raisefist> indiegunfreak : i need to know how you got your atheros wireless working on your laptop with ubuntu
[23:07] <billenium> This is the erro i get when i type gnome-panel into the terminal
[23:07] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: gnomebaker.. its awesome
[23:07] <purplestar> :P
[23:07] <nickrud> purplestar gnomebaker, brasero and k3b <-- kde but excellent
[23:07] <ZLemur> fresh install, i guess, xbj9000
[23:07] <Kanja> Hey - last night something broke and I can't access some https sites in FF3, like gmail
[23:07] <vocx> !burn | purplestar
[23:07] <IndyGunFreak> now i do like k3b.. its good to..
[23:07] <billenium> I get an error when i tpye gnome-panel into the terminal*
[23:08] <purplestar> nickrud, do you use gnombaker or k3b on Gnone?
[23:08] <Kanja> anyone have any ideas where I could start looking into that?
[23:08] <soundray> private_meta: does that help?
[23:08] <ZLemur> it seems more functional by default, but i dunno.
[23:08] <apophis> !info gnomebaker
[23:08] <nickrud> purplestar gnomebaker
[23:08] <xbj9000> zlemur, to replace the xubuntu?
[23:08] <IndyGunFreak> gtoaster?.. never heard of that
[23:08] <eimajenthat> thanks all
[23:08] <purplestar> is there much difference between gnomebaker and k3b?
[23:08] <billenium> The error i get when i type in gnome-panel is this: http://code.bulix.org/mqbgo4-67180
[23:08] <ZLemur> yes
[23:08] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, ubottu know more than you
[23:08] <Odd-rationale> purplestar: or try brasero
[23:08] <nickrud> oooh, gtoaster at one time it was almost the best, xcdroast era
[23:08] <purplestar> is gnomebacker a lot better than brasero?
[23:08] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: they are both very good apps...i don't think you'd be disappointed with either
[23:09]  * IndyGunFreak hates brasero
[23:09] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak, ok
[23:09] <billenium> I guess i just have to reinstall ubuntu :(
[23:09] <vocx> purplestar, please no "which is best" questions, they are boring
[23:09] <xbj9000> zlemur I would run the ubuntu CD and choose 'manual' for the partitioning step, and re-use your existing linux partitions
[23:09] <private_meta> soundray: i forgot to search before i asked, so now i'm following something in the ubuntu forums
[23:09] <IndyGunFreak> and vocx i would NEVER EVER EVER, question the intelligence of ubotu..:)
[23:09] <opt1k> hey, where can i find a program for ubuntu to configure my saitek gm3200 mouse ?
[23:09] <purplestar> vocx: is boring a good app for gnome?
[23:09] <xbj9000> purplestar I think gnomebaker has more options,
[23:09] <ZLemur> ok..thats fairly safe to do then, i take it.
[23:09] <purplestar> xbj9000: ok
[23:09] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, ubotu is dead, long live ubottu.
[23:10] <vocx> purplestar, ???
[23:10] <ZLemur> i'm afraid i'll make some stupid mistake and end up pooching everything :/
[23:10] <purplestar> vocx:  just playing with ya ;)
[23:10] <IndyGunFreak> xbj9000: ?  lol what do you want burning software to do.. it burns cds, burns dvds, burns audio cds, burns images..
[23:10] <xbj9000> zlemur, yes as long as you don't put a checkmark by 'format' on any of your windows partions
[23:10] <ZLemur> good enough
[23:10] <apophis> ZLemur, ALWAYS have a safe copy of your data
[23:10] <xbj9000> true facts  ^
[23:10] <soundray> !mouse | opt1k
[23:10] <ZLemur> yeah apophis
[23:10] <IndyGunFreak> apophis: some people live on the edge
[23:10] <ZLemur> just dont want hassle
[23:11] <ZLemur> speaking of hassel, ndis wrapper is a pita to get going offline
[23:11] <xbj9000> zlemur you can also use your /home partition without formatting it, and keep your xubuntu user data
[23:11]  * IndyGunFreak borked windows several times while learning to install Linux..
[23:11] <purplestar> is there an app for Hardy that converts between formats, eg. flv to 3gp. etc?
[23:11] <opt1k> tx soundray
[23:11]  * apophis has paid 1000€ for NOT having a safe copy ;) think twice before doing something wrong
[23:11] <billenium> How can i install the xubuntu desktop?
[23:11] <private_meta> How can I change the sound for the gnome-terminal audio bell?
[23:11] <xbj9000> indygunfreak I was just siting the only difference I know of between gnomebaker and brasero
[23:11] <billenium> !xubuntu
[23:11] <ZLemur> keeps complaining that it wants the 64bit version cd even though i installed 32 bit
[23:11] <soundray> billenium: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[23:12] <ZLemur> i DO have a 64bit proc though
[23:12] <IndyGunFreak> xbj9000: you said k3b had more features, i was just wondering what those features were
[23:12] <purplestar> private_meta: by pulling the cats tail as you open the terminal :-)
[23:12] <xbj9000> no I didn't mention k3b
[23:12] <funkyHat> aditya1: still here? :) don't worry, tons of people do dual-boot, I've done it before (don't use windows anymore), it works ;)
[23:12] <weesyz> ubuntu how do I fully remove apache2 and do a fresh install of apache2 on ubuntu. I tried sudo apt-get remove apache2, but it still leaves the config files, so I deleted the apache2 directory and everytime I go to install it by sudo apt-get install apache2, then it doesn't download all the config files and apache2 doesn't start.
[23:12]  * soundray dualboots Xandros and Ubuntu 
[23:12] <IndyGunFreak> xbj9000: ok.
[23:13] <purplestar> is there an GUI app for Hardy that converts between formats, eg. flv to 3gp. etc?
[23:13] <shellclear> boa tarde a  todos
[23:13] <vocx> weesyz, use "sudo aptitude purge <package>"
[23:13] <weesyz> in the software packages how do you totally remove a package and it's config files and install it again
[23:13] <ariqs> why doesn't snaptic package manager have sdl_net ?
[23:13] <xbj9000> purplestar try sound converter
[23:13] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: i know vlc will play flv, not sure about converting.
[23:13] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak: ok
[23:13] <nickrud> weesyz   dpkg -l
[23:13] <private_meta> purplestar: what?
[23:13] <IndyGunFreak> eh see, sound converter, never heard of it
[23:14] <ZLemur> i'm obviously pretty new to linux...is it more hassle to install 64bit ubuntu over 32bit? as in, are there windows xp esque driver/whatever issues between the versions?
[23:14] <nickrud> weesyz erm,   dpkg -l '*apache*' | grep ^ii , sudo apt-get remove <those packages> , then install apache2 again
[23:14] <apophis> I dont know has mencoder a gui? dont think so?
[23:14] <cycom> ZLemur: to an extent, yes, but it's not too bad.
[23:14] <nickrud> weesyz erm, apt-get remove --purge that is
[23:14] <purplestar> private_meta: do you know how I can convert flv to 3gp?
[23:14] <cycom> ZLemur: do you have 4gb of ram or higher?
[23:14] <vocx> ZLemur, if fact, there are issues. Head to to 64-bit subforums of ubuntuforums.org to learn more.
[23:14] <purplestar> !3gp
[23:14] <MrWizeGuy1983> ZLemur, i'm on 64 bit ubuntu and it works great with all my drivers, but java plugin isn't available for 64 bit yet
[23:14] <ZLemur> long as i can get my wirelessworking, i'm happy. something i have yet to be able to do with any linux distro. i'm proly just too new to understand how
[23:14] <ariqs> why doesn't snaptic package manager have sdl_net ?
[23:14] <xbj9000> zlemur 64 will cause you to have to do a couple of steps to get java and flash working but it's worth it if you do any video conversion / copying
[23:15] <soundray> !info libsdl-net1.2 | ariqs
[23:15] <ZLemur> i don't, just basic use
[23:15] <cycom> ZLemur: how much ram do you have?
[23:15] <private_meta> purplestar: well, if you take the detour to mpg maybe
[23:15] <ZLemur> 2gb
[23:15] <vocx> ZLemur, for basic use you may as well stay with 32-bit
[23:15] <ZLemur> ok
[23:15] <cycom> ZLemur: don't bother with 64 bit
[23:15] <qbert> is their a CD writting application that comes with ubuntu ?
[23:15] <purplestar> private_meta: so how do I convert from mpeg to 3gp?
[23:15] <Alex|ubuntu> upgrade to kernel 2.6.24-19 screwed up my graphics card driver; is there a special channel for this?
[23:15] <cycom> ZLemur: 32 bit will give you less hassle, and the advantages of 64 bit are lost if you don't do that kind of work and you don't have 4gb of ram
[23:15] <private_meta> purplestar: I don't know a reason why you shouldn't be able to... I just didn't do it yet
[23:16] <ariqs> thankyou soundray, let me see if this works
[23:16] <Elijah> what is command to open grub menu.lst in terminal
[23:16] <ZLemur> ok, now, that said, how am i supposed to get my wireless working? i went throug the motions i found on the forums for getting it from the cdrom, but it complains that it wants the 64bit disc
[23:16] <xbj9000> qbert I think gnomebaker comes standard
[23:16] <purplestar> !burn | qbert
[23:16] <Elijah> gksudo gedit?
[23:16] <cycom> Elijah: nano
[23:16] <soundray> ariqs: are you compiling?
[23:16] <cycom> Elijah: oh, dksudo gedit will work too, if you have X running
[23:16] <neoser1> elijah the command is vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:16] <cycom> Elijah: gksudo*
[23:16] <xbj9000> elijah:  sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:16] <Alex|ubuntu> or gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:16] <ariqs> yes, soundray
[23:16] <private_meta> cycom: heh... saying "it's not too bad" when talking about compatability (in your case 64bit) always means for me I will encounter those small issues massively :)
[23:16] <xbj9000> lol
[23:16] <cycom> hehe. a plethora of responses.
[23:16] <purplestar> private_meta: so in other words you have no clue how to convert from flv to 3gp? :P
[23:17] <neoser1> qbert i prefer nautilus cd burner is more easy that you think
[23:17] <soundray> ariqs: then you'll need libsdl-net-dev
[23:17] <Elijah> what does the gk beofre gksudo do?
[23:17] <cycom> private_meta: bah. get better hardware then :)
[23:17] <Elijah> or stand for
[23:17] <BABA_RECORD> !help i need to know how to install the webcamera divers in ubuntu 7.10
[23:17] <ariqs> got it, soundray
[23:17] <Alex|ubuntu> somethign relating to graphics
[23:17] <qbert> neoser1: thanks
[23:17] <apophis> !gksudo | Elijah
[23:17] <xbj9000> purplestar, sound converter may do it but I don't think it does video
[23:17] <soundray> ariqs: sorry libsdl-net1.2-dev
[23:17] <Alex|ubuntu> like i said, graphics =D
[23:17] <cycom> private_meta: my big issue right now with 64-bit vista is that not many TV tuners have 64 bit support.
[23:17] <vocx> Elijah, it's just the graphical interface
[23:17] <Elijah> apophis, thanks so much
[23:17] <purplestar> BABA_RECORD: upgrade to Hardy 8.04 and it contains drivers for your webcam
[23:17] <private_meta> purplestar: http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0072.html
[23:17] <neoser1> i am here to help
[23:17] <unop> purplestar, ffmpeg -i file.flv file.3gp
[23:18] <Elijah> apophis, what is the term called for what you just did? Show me info like that
[23:18] <purplestar> unop: let me try that commend
[23:18] <BABA_RECORD> purplestar can you give me a direkt link plz
[23:18] <private_meta> cycom: Well, the reason why I don't use linux as a main operating system (if I can avoid it) is because of murphy's law, and it applies EVERYWHERE
[23:18] <weesyz> Syntax error on line 129 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: see it's not replacing the config file
[23:18] <aditya1> funkyHat: But I still have my doubts, whether a grub residing in the MBR can boot windows by jumping to the boot sector of the first partition...
[23:18] <unop> purplestar, that's basically how you'd do it with ffmpeg .. but you might want to tweak certain video and audio parameters .. see the ffmpeg manpage
[23:18] <ArchMetatron> is there a way to give the password in one command for sudo so you are not promted like -p=password or something
[23:18] <apophis> Elijah, I used a factoid and sent it to you, you can type !help, to get the manual of ubottu and also the list of factoids
[23:19] <neoser1> weesys you can write the line???
[23:19] <Elijah> for the record, Ubuntu has 5-10 more years until true explosion, hardware support is a main factor that is gaining steam
[23:19] <purplestar> unop: no didnt work, no sound
[23:19] <vocx> aditya1, it can, I have my setup like that.
[23:19] <whileimhere> I downloaded a GDM theme how can I install it?
[23:19] <Elijah> apophis, thanks
[23:19] <Elijah> !help
[23:19] <soundray> ArchMetatron: not really, since that wouldn't be safe
[23:19] <purplestar> BABA_RECORD: go to ubuntu website and download 8.04
[23:19] <ianliu_89> is there a way to make a widescreen in "normal" resolution? I mean, "cut" the borders of the widescreen so it is normal
[23:19] <unop> purplestar, refer to my last statement to you
[23:19] <BABA_RECORD> ubuntu 8.04
[23:20] <aditya1> funkyHat: i want to install xp only to play games, i have not played my best game since more than a year from now
[23:20] <weesyz> root@sp0505b:/etc/apache2/mods-available# ls
[23:20] <weesyz> root@sp0505b:/etc/apache2/mods-available# ls
[23:20] <weesyz> see all my apache2 folders are empty
[23:20] <DonaldD> hi all
[23:20] <aditya1> vocx: but i have 1st installed linux, now i want to install xp, thats where the problem comes in
[23:20] <apophis> Elijah, you're welcome
[23:20] <purplestar> unop: i cannot read through 20 pages of paramaters
[23:20] <vocx> weesyz, dude, don't use the root account, that's probably the issue. You've messed with the root account.
[23:20] <neoser1> weesyz you can change to /etc/apache???
[23:20] <DistroJockey> whileimhere, goto System - Administration - Login Windows then go to the Local tab and use the Add... buttom
[23:20] <nickrud> weesyz dpkg assumes that you removed the data from that dir on purpose, and won't put the stuff back without you explicitly requesting it
[23:21] <DistroJockey> button^
[23:21] <unop> purplestar, then ffmpeg cannot help you
[23:21] <hard3r> HI
[23:21] <purplestar> unop: I am not educated to understand those ffmpeg switches. so I wanted to know if someone knows the command already
[23:21] <hard3r> 	
[23:21] <apophis> !dualboot | aditya1, not that big of a problem
[23:21] <hard3r> Is there a converter to amv in linux ?
[23:21] <weesyz> How can I request it?
[23:21] <purplestar> unop: you are full of shit as usual
[23:21] <weesyz> unop
[23:21] <soundray> purplestar: I suggest you apologise for that
[23:21] <whileimhere> DistroJockey: I thought that was how but I do not seem to have that option under the Administration dropdown
 purplestar, then ffmpeg cannot help you <--- you really think this comment is accurate and helpful?
[23:21] <neoser1> vocx one can enter to these directories without root, you can not edit!!!!"
[23:21] <hard3r> 	
[23:21] <hard3r> Is there a converter to amv in linux ?
[23:21] <soundray> purplestar: unops comment is spot on
[23:22] <nickrud> weesyz    dpkg -l '*apache*' | grep ^ii ,   sudo apt-get remove --purge <those packages> , sudo apt-get install <those packages>
[23:22] <DistroJockey> whileimhere, that's odd
[23:22] <unop> purplestar, i use ffmpeg but i dont know all of its parameters off of the top of my head .. if i need tweaking, i refer to the manpage, and i am not doing that for you .. help yourself, i am showing you a way
[23:22] <Alex|ubuntu> ﻿upgrade to kernel 2.6.24-19 screwed up my graphics card driver; is there a special channel for this?
[23:22] <purplestar> soundray: are you saying that ffmpeg cannot convert to 3gp?
[23:22] <BABA_RECORD> !help i need to know how to install the webcamera divers in ubuntu 7.10
[23:22] <whileimhere> Yeah it is
[23:22] <vocx> neoser1, but you can use sudo to gain temporary access. He probably did a lot more.
[23:22] <ArchMetatron> soundray, im trying to try rox with rox-sessinon, it needs root access in .xsession for exec 0launch http://.....  suggestions?
[23:22] <DistroJockey> whileimhere, Hardy Gnome?
[23:22] <Alex|ubuntu> lol
[23:22] <neoser1> çAlex|ubuntu, you hace a old kernel installed ???
[23:22] <Alex|ubuntu> have/had?
[23:22] <apophis> 3gp is an mpeg 4, I am quite sure ffmpeg can do that
[23:22] <whileimhere> I am using 7.10
[23:22] <DistroJockey> ahh
[23:22] <soundray> purplestar: no, I'm saying that if you can't be bothered to read the docs, ffmpeg can't help you (which is what unop said in the first place)
[23:22] <purplestar> soundray: are you suggesting that ffmpeg cannot convert from flv to 3gp?  Because if it can, then IT CAN HELP ME
[23:23] <hard3r> 	
[23:23] <hard3r> Is there a converter to amv in linux?
[23:23] <ArchMetatron> im so NOT concerned about that type of security, when stuff doenst work, security becomes securities biggest danger
[23:23] <Alex|ubuntu> my computer automatically downloaded kernel 2.6.24-19 and in the process destroyed my graphics card driver
[23:23] <purplestar> soundray: but your comment is not accurate, because if ffmpeg can actually convert from flv to 3gp, then it can help me.
[23:23] <Alex|ubuntu> reinstalling it doesn't work
[23:23] <aditya1> apophis: actually i want to install xp, i have already installed linux ubuntu 7.10, last time when i installed xp after linux , linux crashed
[23:23] <soundray> purplestar: not unless you read the docs
[23:23] <ArchMetatron> maybe i should go back to puppylinux, everything runs as root, no users
[23:23] <hard3r> 	
[23:23] <hard3r> Is there a converter to amv in linux?
[23:24] <vocx> !repeat | hard3r
[23:24] <nickrud> ease up with the arguing, please
[23:24] <purplestar> soundray: if I get the command from someone who has already worked it out, then it will work.
[23:24] <DistroJockey> whileimhere, nothing about GDM or maybe it's in Sessions in Administration?
[23:24] <amenado> purplestar-> you seem to be reluctant in reading the documentation, now one here can possibly remember all the options
[23:24] <xbj9000> aditya1 I find that, when possible, it's best ti install xp THEN Linux
[23:24] <unop> purplestar, part of using ffmpeg is using its manpage -- if you can't be bothered with reading that necessity, use something else
[23:24] <neoser1> Alex|ubuntu, you can write these directions in a block and execute one line by one line????
[23:24] <Alex|ubuntu> sure...
[23:24] <Alex|ubuntu> i'll bet i've already done them before though
[23:24] <neoser1> Alex|ubuntu, enter to /etc/X11
[23:24] <purplestar> amenado: some people may write it down for future reference and future use.  I always do
[23:24] <soundray> purplestar: you're not getting anything from me, that's for sure, seeing how you rewarded unop for his attempt to help
[23:24] <whileimhere> I am not sure but I will try the old fashioned way  --- rebooting
[23:25] <purplestar> soundray: my life will go on without any help from you or unop
[23:25] <neoser1> rename the xorg.conf > xorg.old
[23:25] <Alex|ubuntu> neoser1: ok
[23:25] <xbj9000> lol someone is impatient to convert their porn
[23:25] <amenado> purplestar-> well thats you, some of us dont have a pencil in hand.. :P
[23:25] <neoser1> change to /etc/init.d
[23:25] <purplestar> amenado: its called copy and paste :)
[23:25] <apophis> aditya1, I've done it that way with EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 ...
[23:25] <viZ0r> Heylozzzzz evrybody....!
[23:25] <Elijah> how do i monitor by bandwidth in ubuntu
[23:25] <purplestar> amenado: no pencil required :)
[23:25] <viZ0r> ;)
[23:25] <neoser1> ./gdm stop (this close gnome beware
[23:25] <aditya1> xbj9000:  even i know that, but i have installed linux more than a half a year ago , now i want to install xp to play games
[23:26] <amenado> purplestar-> come on man, just go and look it up..its that easy i hope
[23:26] <Elijah> how do i find broken packages too
[23:26] <xbj9000> elijah you can add an app to the task panel
[23:26] <aditya1> apophis: 1st linux and then xp right ?
[23:26] <nouvo> ;
[23:26] <Elijah> xbj9000, what app do you use?
[23:26] <purplestar> amenado: actually its not.  I scrolled through the man pages for ffmpeg and I could not find anything about 3gp
[23:26] <xbj9000> yeah sorry aditya1, I don't have windows installed at all
[23:26] <viZ0r> it has been long sisnce i visited hea....
[23:26] <apophis> yes, but the startup is a bit different after that, becuase you use the windows boot manager
[23:26] <weesyz> nickrud: thanks!
[23:26] <neoser1> run the x configuration utility (X -configure) this let a xorg.conf.new in a root directory (this command run in root method)
[23:26] <nickrud> weesyz yw
[23:26] <xbj9000> elijah I think it's just called system monitor
[23:27] <purplestar> amenado: if you ever figure out how to convert a flv to 3gp, then plese let me know :)
[23:27] <Elijah> oh, i see that
[23:27] <Elijah> it is very basic but good for now
[23:27] <aditya1> xbj9000: even i dont like win xp but i do it for playing games
[23:27] <amenado> purplestar-> sure will, btw what is it for?
[23:27] <neoser1> execute X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
[23:27] <neoser1> this ultimate command let you start X please probe the mouse and keyboard
[23:27] <xbj9000> neoser1, configuring X that way hasn't worked for me and many others since Hardy
[23:27] <viZ0r> can aneone tell me wot version of ubuntu is currently in release ???
[23:28] <vocx> aditya1, I don't think it would be hard, just set up unpartitioned space, then install XP, then grub gets erased, then reinstall grub, and then you have the dual boot setup.
[23:28] <Elijah> purple, wont "super" do that?
[23:28] <weesyz> Forbidden
[23:28] <weesyz> You don't have permission to access /~hlds1/ on this server.
[23:28] <neoser1> press Control C to exit
[23:28] <nouvo> haha
[23:28] <weesyz> I get that in apache with userdir
[23:28] <neoser1> to me in every machine on my home network
[23:28] <Alex|ubuntu> xbj: i've tried many other non-working ways.
[23:28] <neoser1> YESSSS
[23:28] <Rael420> can  someone reccomend a desktop gadget program other than gdesklets, hardly any of their gadgets work anymore
[23:28] <weesyz> apache doesn't auto set directory mods?
 : Heyaaa
[23:28] <weesyz> with ubuntu
[23:28] <Elijah> why is pidgin the default chat client for ubuntu? Isn't x-chat superior?
[23:28] <Alex|ubuntu> what do you mean by "﻿(17:27:55) neoser1: this ultimate command let you start X please probe the mouse and keyboard"?
[23:28] <purplestar> amenado: i have a FLV file from youtube that I want to upload to my mobile phone
[23:29] <bluester> viZ0r - Hardy 8.04
[23:29] <amenado> weesyz-> proly not
[23:29] <aditya1>  vocx:But I still have my doubts, whether a grub residing in the MBR can boot windows by jumping to the boot sector of the first partition...
[23:29] <Elijah> is x-chat on ubuntu anywhere?
[23:29] <neoser1> copy /root/xorg.conf.new in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot
[23:29] <Hermanon> hi how can i install GTK+ 2.0 development headers ?
[23:29] <apophis> Elijah, X-Chat is IRC only, Pidgin can do IRC, ICQ, MSN and much more
[23:29] <aditya1> viZ0r: hi, do i know you ?
[23:29] <sauvin> Elijah, pidgin is multiprotocol. xchat is probably what you'd want if you want irc mainly.
[23:29] <weesyz> It use to on my home server
[23:29] <xbj9000> elijah if you want to learn and edit a lot of config files then read about conky
[23:29] <soundray> Elijah: it is. Pidgin is more versatile, that's why it's standard
[23:29] <Elijah> apophis, ok, thanks
[23:29] <purplestar> amenado: I can convert it on Vista, but I am tossing Vista for Ubuntu.  But sadly I cannot convert flv to 3gp on Ubuntu
[23:29] <vocx> aditya1, and I told you it can because that's how I have set it up
[23:29] <unop> purplestar, http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=10188
[23:29] <Elijah> purplestar, doesn't "super" do that
[23:30] <purplestar> it keeps saying Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
[23:30] <amenado> purplestar-> i can only envy you, i dont have cellfone that can once web stuff, im pure n simple, phone only features ..
[23:30] <neoser1> 17:27:55 is probe your keyboard and mouse movements and keylocks (numlock scroollock and capslock
 : n wotz new in it ???
[23:30] <purplestar> Elijah: super?
[23:30] <vocx> purplestar, what's 3gp anyway?
[23:30] <amenado> i meant do webstuff
[23:30] <nouvo> #windows
[23:30] <darksidedelayue> Hi, what do I need to get so ubuntu can read .wav files?
[23:30] <soundray> neoser1: who are you talking to?
[23:30] <xbj9000> SUPER is a windows app, but yeah it rules
 nawww....yew may knoe me if yew r regular hea...
[23:31] <purplestar> vocx: its my mobile phone format to play videos.  I download youtbube videos as FLV and then convert them to 3gp, then use bluetooth to upload to my mobile phone and watch the videos on my phone :)
[23:31] <neoser1> soundray to Alex|ubuntu

[23:31] <aditya1> vocx: cool, did u lose any data from linux partitions after u insstalled xp ??

[23:32] <vocx> aditya1, I didn't lose information, but there is always the chance, so stop using computers or take chances.
[23:32] <Alex|ubuntu> neoser can't i just message you?
[23:32] <bluester> ﻿viZ0r: let me see
[23:32] <ShereKhan> How do I control what happens when I press the power button on the chassis on an old computer? I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 server with no GUI on it, and I want the power button to trigger a clean shutdown. But currently I either get a direct shutoff, or nothing at all, depending on wether I add "ACPI=force" to the boot. BIOS is from 1999.
[23:32] <xbj9000> purplestar I dunno if you could run SUPER in WIne maybe
[23:33] <neoser1> hi alex|ubuntu i am here waiting for you
[23:33] <Alex|ubuntu> ok
[23:33] <unop> purplestar, trust me, if you had the patience, you could have figured it out from the man pages, you just have to understand what each option does and whether or not you want it to apply to your task -- patience and trial-and-error
[23:33] <aditya1>  vocx: i have tried it many times,
[23:33] <vocx> ShereKhan, maybe that's to old, and it can't do what you want
[23:33] <purplestar> xbj9000: i dont know what SUPER is
[23:33] <purplestar> unop: ok fair enough comment, thanks
[23:33] <ShereKhan> vocx: The weird thing is that I am pretty sure it worked earlier with Debian :o\
[23:34] <xbj9000> it's a free windows app that converts anything
 : itz wz....ummmm.... Fusion_Fx
[23:34] <aditya1> i never knew that its possible to use the same copy of linux after installing xp
[23:34] <neoser1> Alex|ubuntu, i can write a e-mail with the commands for you???
 : em back hea afta sou lond...bro.....
[23:34] <purplestar> unop: the command I got from that website, gives this error: Incorrect frame size.  Any suggestions?
[23:34] <baseLine> hi, where can i find the option to change the numbers of Desktops under gnome?? O_o
 : i really missed this #channel....sou much....
[23:35] <Alex|ubuntu> yes please
[23:35] <Alex|ubuntu> wait no
[23:35] <Alex|ubuntu> yes
[23:35] <amenado> ShereKhan-> seems like a good candidate for an event..perhaps look around how event are handled now.. /etc/event.d
[23:35] <vocx> ShereKhan, why does it have to be the power button? Can't you do a simple shutdown on the terminal or something?
[23:35] <purplestar> unop: ffmpeg -i input.flv -s 176×144 -vcodec h263 -r 25 -b 200 -ab 64 -acodec mp3 -ac 1 -ar 8000 output.3gp
[23:35] <neoser1> which is your email?? i can write now
[23:35] <xeer> I made a deskbar object linking to a script.. how can i get the file system path of the object dropped onto my item?
[23:35] <purplestar> unop: do you think the problem is the -s 176×144 ?
[23:35] <unop> purplestar, now this is where i open up the manpage, find otu which option refers to frame size and then tweak its value -- -s is probably it
[23:35] <ShereKhan> vocx: Not if I run it headless (no monitor/keyboard). Especially if it means I have to power up another computer, log in to the server with SSH and do a shutdown from there :p
[23:36] <xbj9000> baseline can't you just right-click on the pager and change it in there?
[23:36] <baseLine> no
[23:36] <xeer> I made a deskbar object linking to a script.. how can i get the file system path of the object dropped onto my item?
[23:36] <funkyHat> aditya1: as long as you get bit in the windows installer right where it asks where to install, you won't loose any data
[23:36] <xbj9000> baseline, I can..
[23:36] <Alex|ubuntu> neoser1 did you get my email?
[23:36] <unop> purplestar, you can also omit frame size if you wish to keep the existing values intact ..
[23:36] <ZLemur> gahhh
[23:36] <baseLine> ooh
[23:36] <amenado> ShereKhan-> would you consider ctrl+alt+del as same feature? look into that
[23:36] <vocx> ShereKhan, interesting
[23:36] <baseLine> thx xbj9000 :o)
[23:36] <ZLemur> so i just installed ubuntu over the old partition xubuntu was on
[23:36] <gla234> what the f
[23:36] <ZLemur> now i get a disk boot failure
[23:36] <aditya1> funkyHat: ok, cya after i install xp
[23:36] <xbj9000> :(
[23:37] <gla234> ubuntu is blocking all my ports at default?
[23:37] <xbj9000> explain the failure?
[23:37]  * ZLemur shoudl have known better
[23:37] <purplestar> unop: then I get this error. Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1
[23:37] <ZLemur> won't boot
[23:37] <jrib> gla234: ubuntu blocks nothing by default
[23:37] <ZLemur> no boot loader or anything
[23:37] <ZLemur> just says 'disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter'
[23:37] <gla234> http://tinyurl.com/2ghusu
[23:37] <amenado> gla234-> no iptables rules by default, default policy is accept
[23:37] <NetEcho> gla234 Ubuntu / Linux doesn't block ports unless you set it up
[23:37] <xbj9000> oh I see
[23:37] <ShereKhan> amenado: No, I definitely want it to be the power button
 : ????
[23:37] <mysterycool> James Blunt hugged me!
[23:37] <xbj9000> well you will have to clear the MBR
[23:37] <gla234> argh
[23:37] <gla234> but TCP test failed! UDP test will not be performed.
[23:37] <mysterycool> I know it's off-topic but I am so excited!
[23:37] <xbj9000> zlemur
[23:37] <purplestar> unop: just to convert a flv to 3gp is so easy on MS Windows,  But I cannot do it on Ubuntu.  Looks like I need to keep MS Windows after all :(

[23:37] <s3a> y cant i get into my router to change its settings (i have the D-Link DI-504 and an ethernet cable from its main port to my motherboard's built-in ethernet port?
[23:38] <mysterycool> !ubuntu-offtopic
[23:38] <xbj9000> it's simple really zlemur, but you will need a DOS boot floppy lol
[23:38] <gla234> amenado: NetEcho TCP test failed! UDP test will not be performed.
[23:38] <unop> purplestar, try using the libmp3lame codec instead of mp3
[23:38] <mysterycool> !offtopic
 : du yew remember me....i guess i still remember yew..... :)
[23:38] <soundray> mysterycool: go take a shower, quickly
[23:38] <xbj9000> unless someone else knows a better way
[23:38] <ZLemur> i don't even have a floppy drive
[23:38] <amenado> ShereKhan-> you are not with me, the effects of ctrl+alt+del  ..would you like it to have same effect as the power button?
[23:38] <ompaul> mysterycool, please top now
[23:38] <NetEcho> gla234 configue your router
[23:38] <mysterycool> lol :p
[23:38] <ZLemur> sigh
[23:38] <ompaul> mysterycool, stop even
[23:38] <xeer> purplestar: with that attitude you deserve to be tortured by the evil microsoft windows
[23:38] <vocx> viZ0r, dude, stop it. The guy left, no one cares who you are.
[23:38] <ZLemur> this is why i don't mess with linux very often. stupid stuff always seems to happen.
[23:38] <vipester> can someone help me configure my wpa on 8.04?
[23:38] <xbj9000> zlemur, sorry, but nothing is wiped you just have to get back into it
[23:38] <anteaya> what is hald and why is it taking up so much of my cpu?
[23:38] <amenado> gla234-> no iptables rules by default, default policy is accept  <-- no rules!
[23:39] <gla234> NetEcho: wow sorry.. im so tired i forgot about my router thanks
[23:39] <ZLemur> i know, but like i said, no floppy drive
[23:39] <xbj9000> probably you can do it with a CD also
[23:39] <gla234> amenado: thanks its my router :/
[23:39] <ShereKhan> amenado: Similar. I want clean shutdown (i.e. "halt -p now"), not a reboot.
[23:39] <ZLemur> is there a util onthe ubuntu disk todo whati need to do?
[23:39] <NetEcho> gla234 see its not ubuntu :P
[23:39] <xbj9000> probably somehow with the live Ubuntu disc even
[23:39] <amenado> ShereKhan-> seems like a good candidate for an event..perhaps look around how event are handled now.. /etc/event.d
[23:39] <gla234> NetEcho: ^_^
[23:39] <xbj9000> zlemur yes I'm sure, but I haven't done it
[23:39] <ZLemur> hrm
[23:39] <Elijah> how do i open terminal fastest way possible
[23:39] <vocx> anteaya, haldm the hardware abstraction layer, a very important part of the system. Do know how much is it for you?
[23:39] <ShereKhan> amenado: Can I create a power-button-event? Is there a man-page for events/event.d?
[23:39] <ZLemur> i'm not even 100% sure as to what it is i really need to do.
[23:39] <purplestar> unop: Unknown codec 'libmp3lame'
[23:40] <amenado> gla234-> are you referring to your linux box as the router or an external box as a router?
[23:40] <vnieto> ﻿Hi, can some give me a link about how can I run and existing windows over ubuntu with virtual box?
 : ok....sowwweeee....
[23:40] <ZLemur> in the past, i'd boot from the floppy and 'fix mbr'
[23:40] <ZLemur> but i dunno what that'll do to linux
[23:40] <gla234> amenado: external
[23:40] <amenado> ShereKhan-> i'd try man event.d
[23:40] <unop> purplestar, you're prompting me to answer on a philosophical level .. tools like ffmpeg are built for versatility and tweakability so you can convert from any format to any format and do anything in the conversion process .. the same kind of underlying libraries are used on windows, but the GUI hides from you the essence of the program -- both have advantages and disadvantages ..
[23:40] <purplestar> xeer: well i canot get a flv to convert to 3gp, so I need to keep Windows for that Im sad to say
[23:40] <xbj9000> you can probably boot to a root prompt with the cd and do fdisk -mbr
[23:40] <anteaya> vocx: is fluctuating on top
[23:40] <purplestar> unop: is there a GUI front end for ffmpeg?
[23:40] <anteaya> vocx: but showing up on top consistently
[23:40] <xbj9000> but ask for second opinions on that one
[23:41] <anteaya> vocx: had a problem earlier
[23:41] <xeer> purplestar: ffmpeg will convert that without problems if you install it right.
[23:41] <ZLemur> sigh
[23:41] <anteaya> vocx: wouldn't open a terminal
[23:41] <unop> purplestar, you might not have mp3 support installed .. install the w32codecs and try again
[23:41]  * sauvin still wants to know what 3gp is
 : dear...you can use vmware worstation for runnnin linux ovr windows...!
[23:41] <anteaya> vocx: i had to shut off with the power button
[23:41] <amenado> gla234-> am sorry i forgot what was the issue, its your linux box or the router you cant get to? can you ping localhost? route table okay?
[23:41] <s3a> can any1 help me connect my router to my comp so i can set it up so that i can use it to share my internet connection?
[23:41] <anteaya> vocx: can work now, but curious what happend
[23:41] <soundray> vnieto: that's next to impossible. It would be like trying to run the same Windows installation on different machines -- you'd have to switch lots of drivers around.
[23:41] <xbj9000> here zlemur
[23:41] <xbj9000> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=fdisk+mbr
[23:41] <vocx> anteaya, can you check out the log for suspicious behavior, check out System > Administration > System logs
[23:41] <ShereKhan> amenado: I have no such manpage. The only manpages I have with "event" in them are iwevent and eventlogadm, and none are relevant
[23:41] <unop> purplestar, there are a couple of GUI front-ends to ffmpeg .. but i dont know of any .. but they won't work if you try and encode audio in mp3 if you have no mp3 encoders installed
[23:42] <X-Seti> ..
[23:42] <vocx> sauvin, some movie format for cell phones, it is kewlz for kewl kids
[23:42] <sauvin> Oh, pfft.
[23:42] <amenado> ShereKhan-> you may have to google for it, i have read that article from an ubuntu book excerpt..good explanations
[23:42] <anteaya> vocx: thanks will look
[23:42] <gla234> amenado: nah man thanks for helping me, but this is something I have to do my self, I just realised my router is at default settings block most of the outgoing ports, so no wonder my tcp failed.. but I just assumed for a minute it was linux...but I appreciate youre trying to help me :)
[23:42] <X-Seti> I feel alittle let down by ubuntu right now, even through this is the best package out there
[23:42] <anodesni>  Hi, my speakers philips spa 1300 are broken. I want to replace them with logitech x-230 2.1 set. Is this a good choice for the money?
[23:42] <unop> sauvin, 3gp is like mpg -- only it's for mobile devices, it helps by reducing the amount of data needed to store video and audio data
[23:42] <xbb> hello
[23:42] <soundray> anodesni: this is not a good place to ask. Perhaps ##hardware
[23:43] <purplestar> unop: how do I install mp3 encoder?
[23:43] <purplestar> unop: and it keeps saying Incorrect frame size
[23:43] <Elijah> how do i switch workspaces the fastest?
[23:43] <ZLemur> thanks man
[23:43] <s3a> anodesni: go for x530 or x540
[23:43] <Alex|ubuntu> either scroll on the background
[23:43] <ZLemur> xbj9000, i'll letcha know if it works
[23:43] <ASULutzy> Man, whoever said OpenSuse 11 was better than Hardy is crazy. KDE4 is tricky, so I tried their Gnome... The Gnome menu made me want to shoot myself in the face.
[23:43] <amenado> gla234-> no sweat, sometimes just another pair of eyes or ears, points to the not so obvious things at times
[23:43] <soundray> Elijah: Ctrl-Alt-right/left
[23:43] <cheeseboy> is there anyway i can get ossv4 to work with mednafen?
[23:43] <xbj9000> k please do, and good luck zlemur
[23:43] <Alex|ubuntu> elijah: scroll on back ground or ctrl-alt-left/right/up/down
[23:43] <s3a> anodesni: those are super cheap and very good in my opinion surround sound systems
[23:43] <ZLemur> thanks
[23:44] <unop> purplestar, install the w32codecs and liblame0 packages .. and try again
[23:44] <xbj9000> s3a get your other problem figured out?
[23:44] <gla234> amenado: aint taht the truth :)
[23:44] <ZLemur> if not for my eee and it's onlineness i'd be smurfed heh
[23:44] <anodesni> s3a, isn't the bass too loud? Isn't that a problem?
[23:44] <unop> purplestar, for the frame size issue, remove the option to change the frame size
[23:44] <Elijah> soundray, sweet
[23:44] <Elijah> Alex|ubuntu, what does scroll on background do?
[23:44] <s3a> xbj9000: o lol i went and trained my biceps instead
[23:44] <xbj9000> haha
[23:44] <Elijah> Alex|ubuntu, wow! i get it
[23:45] <LordFlashy> I have a Radeon 9800pro and it seems a lot of the 3d games are flickery when I play them
[23:45] <xbj9000> I don't even remember the issue
[23:45] <s3a> anodesni: i have x530 and u can control the bass physically
[23:45] <Alex|ubuntu> elijah: :D
[23:45] <purplestar> unop ill try that
[23:45] <amenado> ShereKhan-> http://www.linux.com/feature/125977?theme=print
[23:45] <vocx> LordFlashy, turn off Compiz
[23:45] <X-Seti> Does anyone here run a server, and successful had no problems
[23:45] <LordFlashy> how can I do that?
[23:45] <Elijah> do you guys know how i use the cube, i middle click (wheel) and drag and it works but not when a window is open
[23:45] <anodesni> s3a, I know, but a lot of people on internet complain about the loud high bass
[23:45] <purplestar> unop: Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[23:45] <Alex|ubuntu> elijah: i find that the fastest, but u need dekstop effects to use it.. which i'm currently trying to fix
[23:45] <anodesni> s3a, even when bass sis at lowest level
[23:45] <s3a> xbj9000: i think i no wat the problem is, cuz i just realized my hd is too small to extract wat i wanted

[23:46] <vocx> !ccsm | Elijah LordFlashy
[23:46] <LordFlashy> thanks :D
[23:46] <unop> purplestar, you'll need to enable the medibuntu repos for the w32codecs package
[23:46] <s3a> anodesni: well i dont no bout others but i have no problem with my bass and u can physically control it if ur "controlling software" isnt good enuf
[23:46] <Elijah> vocx, The cube works but jut not when a window is open
[23:47] <vocx> Elijah, never used compiz, sorry
[23:47] <s3a> anodesni: i read in a review that x530 in 2.1 mode (which is kinda like what ur buying) suks alot
[23:47] <Elijah> how do you use the cube while a window is open, i thought there was a way to use the super button
[23:47] <happymonkey> how do I ask xmodmap to interpret one key for multiple keys?
[23:47] <purplestar> bluester: is that script safe to use?
[23:47] <anodesni> s3a, ok thnx
[23:47] <purplestar> unop: ok
[23:47] <neoser1> Alex|ubuntu get the e-mail????
[23:47] <vocx> happymonkey, like K for Control-Alt-K?   I don't know.
[23:48] <DistroJockey> Elijah, Ctrl+Alt+left or right arrow or left mouse button
[23:48] <happymonkey> vocx: yes, exactly I have a multimedia remote I'm trying to use with evince for page forward and back etc.
[23:48] <Yooshi> !ubuntu-tweak
[23:48] <Yooshi> man you guys need to find that one :D
[23:48] <Elijah> DistroJockey, is there a way to use with the mouse?
[23:48] <happymonkey> vocx: for a presentation I must give
[23:49] <DistroJockey> Elijah, use ccsm to look at/change the bindings
[23:49] <vocx> happymonkey, I briefly read the xmodmap page, seems like it would be possible, read it already?
[23:49] <happymonkey> vocx: yes, but most likely more briefly than you
[23:50] <happymonkey> vocx: I think I just put a space, actually between each, let me try
[23:51] <chaco> how do i make the cube work?
[23:51] <vocx> happymonkey, what you need is a suitable expression, look at the examples. Sorry, no other way around but to try a few times.
[23:51] <bluester> purplestar... I would go through the code and see if you have all the modules first. I used several scripts from this site without harm to my system. However, the thing I had issues with were the scripts error out and I had to 'find' the application it called for. :-(
[23:51] <chaco> i have compiz.real working
[23:51] <Elijah> i keep getting broken evolution sttuff now, how do i fix this
[23:51] <happymonkey> vocx: yes, I believe you are correct, I thought perhaps someone here had already done something like this
[23:51] <Kirsch> hey guys, i have a mdadm raid that i would like to permanetly kill, but i have tried all sorts of things, can anyone help?
[23:51] <Elijah> with simple-ccsm install and some otehr stuff earlier
[23:51] <Kirsch> i've tried to fail the drive, stop it and remove it but i constantly get device busy
[23:51] <soundray> !ccsm | chaco
[23:51] <chaco> but when i press ctrl+alt+win
[23:52] <purplestar> bluester: ol
[23:52] <purplestar> ok
[23:52] <dmsuperman> Elijah, more description than "broken stuff" will be necessary for help
[23:52] <chaco> i just get them like flying
[23:52] <schyffel> Hi, I have some problems installing the new mythtv-packages. (Conflict about /var/lib/mythtv/) Anyone got some news on that?
[23:52] <vocx> happymonkey, maybe something like "keysim K = Meta_L Alt_L K"
[23:52] <happymonkey> vocx: yes, the 2nd example gives it away
[23:52] <chaco> how do i install that?
[23:53] <chaco> the latter one?
[23:53] <ZLemur> meh. no dice yet xbj9000
[23:53] <Elijah> dmsuperman, let me start pidgin and do a pastebin
[23:53] <ZLemur> first bit appeared to work, but no change upon reboot
[23:53] <soundray> chaco: through synaptic
[23:53] <chaco> ok
[23:53] <X-Seti> :)
[23:54] <schyffel> So, noone heard anything about the new mythtv-packages I take it?
[23:54] <X-Seti> can you upgrade from ubuntu desktop to server version without  losing any working (contents)
[23:54] <soundray> schyffel: you could pastebin the error
[23:54] <LordFlashy> vocx: I can't seem to see where to disable it in simple-cssm
[23:55] <xbj9000> zlemur, what happened?
[23:55] <ZLemur> i went throug the motions in grub and it appeared to do what it needed to - no errors or anything. when i rebooted, i still had disk boot failure
[23:55] <schyffel> soundray: Problem is, my installation is in swedish, so you woulg get partly swedish error msg
[23:55] <ZLemur> i'm going to try it again just in case
[23:55] <soundray> X-Seti: the desktop is a superset of the server base
[23:55] <vocx> LordFlashy, well I think special effects can be disabled with just System > Preferences > Appearance
[23:55] <soundray> schyffel: that's fine, I'll get the gist
[23:56] <soundray> schyffel: du ska inte tro det blir sommar ;)
[23:56] <neoser1> soundray have reason i prefer desktop and configure it as server....
[23:56] <Jokka[Tux]> Any progg i can play dvds in? exept vlc ofc...
[23:56] <anteaya> vocx: thanks for the direction to check my system logs vis a vis hald.  I don't know what I am looking for and today's file is too big to paste to you.
[23:57] <soundray> neoser1: pardon?
[23:57] <gla234> whats the quickes and shortest command in bash, to print ip/gatewya etc?
[23:57] <anteaya> vocx: am open for other suggestions and information  thanks
[23:57] <Stormx2> gla234: ifconfig?
[23:57] <neoser1> you are right, I prefer the desktop and configure as server is very easy.....
[23:57] <vocx> anteaya, well if you say that hald is running then it must be outputting stuff to the logs real time, maybe that tells you something, but who knows.
[23:57] <schyffel> soundray: Ok, in a bit.
[23:57] <purplestar> unop: this claims to do it.. http://www.winff.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=34&Itemid=60
[23:57] <Elijah> what is the fastest way to open the terminal
[23:58] <gla234> Stormx2: yes but I cant see my gateway
[23:58] <colaser> I'm having trouble updating acpid in order to upgrade to Hardy. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a succeeds but doesn't fix it, and sudo apt-get install -f says "cannot create /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan1_min: Permission denied". /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/ exists. What should I do?
[23:58] <Elijah> i use alt+f2 and then type gnome-terminal
[23:58] <Stormx2> Elijah: Assign a shortcut key? Switch to another tty?
[23:58] <gla234> unless gateway is known as something else in linux?
[23:58] <vocx> Elijah, setup a terminal to open at startup, so next time you log in it is already open. There you are  hax0r.
[23:58] <ZLemur> ok, xbj9000, so now, trying to those steps in grub again, 'find /boot/grub/stage1' says 'file not found;
[23:58] <soundray> Elijah: Ctrl-Alt-T
[23:58] <anteaya> vocx: there is definitely lots of output to logs, but I don't know how to recognize an anomaly
[23:59] <neoser1> colaser you haverunning  the root account???
[23:59] <ZLemur> oh, wait, didn't use sudo
[23:59] <schyffel> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21980/
[23:59] <ZLemur> hangon
[23:59] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: you h@V3 l33t h@X0r $killz
[23:59] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, yea
[23:59] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[23:59] <soundray> neoser1: please don't advise people to use root
[23:59] <neoser1> in these command is obviuosly needed
