[00:00] <cwkx> oops
[00:00] <cwkx> had the convo half way
[00:00] <erle-> i there anybody who was pidgin run with icq support on hardy amd64?
[00:00] <Fryguy--> SliMM: what about it
[00:00] <WebcamWonder> !icqfix | erle-
[00:00] <leemajors> when you use the add/remove app to install something, how do you find out what the actual app name is and where it was installed to? (ie installing 7zip installs as 7z in /usr/bin/7z)
[00:01] <whalebone> hiyas guys, got a question :) been working all day trying to get dual monitor support to work and have gotten nowhere, and am now here, reset all drivers to the ATI supported driver, two Dell E177FPf LCD displays, ATI X300SE card. Both monitors showing the same desktop and activity. How do i get this thing to work? It was so easy under XP...*sigh*
[00:01] <SliMM> Fryguy--: how can I add multiple commands there, and, could I also add sudo/su?
[00:01] <Fryguy--> leemajors: you can use dpkg -L from command line
[00:01] <whalebone> working on Hardy
[00:01] <Fryguy--> SliMM: su/sudo is controlled by the group the user is in, and I don't know if/how to add multiple commands
[00:01] <whalebone> tried to edit xorg.conf a dozen different ways to no avail...
[00:01] <leemajors> Fryguy--: but don't you need to know what it's called first to use that?
[00:02] <Fryguy--> leemajors: you need to know the name of the package, yes.
[00:02] <Fryguy--> leemajors: you need to know the name of SOMETIHNG to install a package...
[00:02] <MrLinux> Fryguy-- : Where is webmin located ?
[00:03] <Fryguy--> MrLinux: no idea, why ask me?
[00:03] <Bora> Hello: how to change a name of a harddrive inside places-computer?
[00:03] <leemajors> Fryguy--: that's my problem -- using the add/remove app, while it gives you the full name of something (7Zip) it doesn't always tell you the *actual* name
[00:03] <MrLinux> How do I find ?
[00:03] <MrLinux> How do I find a file for example
[00:03] <Fryguy--> MrLinux: the locate command is helpful
[00:03] <leemajors> Fryguy--: so it took me ages last night to find out 7Zip is actually called 7z
[00:03] <Fryguy--> MrLinux: or tracker
[00:03] <MrLinux> Not working
[00:03] <rizkhan> My wireless disconnects after some arbitrary intervals .. it does become ok .. n then really bad again
[00:04] <xqiu> leemajors: you can try "properties" of an app
[00:04] <Fryguy--> rizkhan: interference
[00:04] <Fryguy--> ?
[00:04] <rizkhan> i changed the channels .. n everything .
[00:04] <whalebone> sounds like interference of some sort
[00:04] <leemajors> xqiu: how do you know where it installs it to though?
[00:04] <x3> any good front end for mencoder?
[00:05] <SliMM> Fryguy--: ok, thanks :-)
[00:05] <Fryguy--> leemajors: after you obtain the name of the package from the interface, use dpkg -L to show a list of all files the package installs
[00:05] <Bora> how to change hard drive name inside my "places -> computer" i get error "operation not supported by backend"
[00:05] <rizkhan> so wat do u recommend ? shall i change the channel for wireless router
[00:05] <joaopinto> x3, avidemux is a nice gui for conversion, not sure it uses mencoder
[00:05] <whalebone> is the AP near a flourescent light fixture?
[00:05] <whalebone> once had that happen and it screwed with the signal somehow
[00:05] <Fryguy--> or a microwave, or phones, or other routers, whatever
[00:06] <xqiu> leemajors: System ==> Administration ==> Synaptic Package Manager
[00:06] <whalebone> channel changing can work a lot of times, especially in a heavily congested area (cngested with signals)
[00:06] <xqiu> leemajors: search a package
[00:06] <x3> yea thx Ill have a look but what Im looking for is a powerfull front end for mencoder....
[00:06] <rizkhan> FryGuy: the problem doesnt happen wid the ubuntu on my laptop ..
[00:06] <rizkhan> only the desktop
[00:06] <xqiu> leemajors: then click the "Properties" button
[00:06] <gavi> dpes compiz-fusion-manager include emerald?
[00:06] <Fryguy--> x3: http://www.google.com/search?q=front+end+to+mencoder&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[00:07] <leemajors> xqiu: ah, ok, so use synaptic instead of add/remove?
[00:07] <Fryguy--> rizkhan: so the wireless card you are using probably isn't that good
[00:07] <amon-kill> hola
[00:07] <xqiu> leemajors: I like synaptic interface better
[00:07] <x3> lol I been doing that as well but theres so many I decided to ask people that actually use them.... ;)
[00:07] <rizkhan> it was the latest one that i cud get
[00:07] <leemajors> xqiu: because the add/remove one doesn't always tell you the name of the app, which was my problem
[00:08] <rizkhan> may be its a driver issue
[00:08] <whalebone> Question: been working all day trying to get dual monitor support to work and have gotten nowhere, I reset the driver to the ATI supported driver, two Dell E177FPf LCD displays, ATI X300SE card, running on Hardy, both monitors showing the same desktop and activity. How do i get this thing to work? It was so easy under XP...*sigh*
[00:08] <xqiu> leemajors: yeah, i know. add/remove is for new users :-)

[00:09] <leemajors> xqiu: well i'm a new user :) so i use add/remove, but once i installed the program using it, i now don't know how to run it, or find it, or anything...
[00:09] <whalebone> where was all these links earlier :)
[00:09] <Fryguy--> whalebone: these are all on the front page of google
[00:09] <onthefence928> i need to convert a .avi file to .wmv so i can play it on my 360, what's a good linux program that does this?
[00:09] <whalebone> lol
[00:09] <Fryguy--> whalebone: a little effort is helpful sometimes
[00:09] <whalebone> wow, think of that, a little effort. i already googled my problem idiot
[00:10] <whalebone> i wouldnt be here otherwise
[00:10] <Fryguy--> whalebone: well, these are all from the first page of google results, so hopefully you've already seen them all i guess
[00:10] <whalebone> you were a jerk earlier and now your beign a jerk again
[00:10] <leemajors> onthefence928: the 360 can play avis, even encoded with divx or xvid
[00:10] <whalebone> how about you ignore me and i'll do the same for you?
[00:10] <whalebone> thanks
[00:10] <rizkhan> whalebone, wats wrong wid u man !
[00:11] <RAdams> !clone
[00:11] <whalebone> he's been a turd all day on this place
[00:11] <Fryguy--> whalebone: so you wouldn't like me to link you to any more helpful links on getting multiple monitors configured with an ATI video card?
[00:11] <whalebone> nope, not from you
[00:11] <Fryguy--> ok
[00:11] <x3> looks like acidrip is the deal
[00:11] <nickrud> !attitude | Fryguy-- whalebone (no bone to pick with either, just no one needs to read this stuff)
[00:12] <whalebone> I know this.
[00:12] <rizkhan> no u dont .. !
[00:12] <whalebone> He's just got a smartarsed way of answering questions
[00:12] <leemajors> so my question still kind of stands, even though i know a work around. when i use the add/remove applications and install a program, how do i find out what it was installed as, what its name actually is and where it installed?
[00:12] <whalebone> and he was doing it earlier today
[00:12] <rizkhan> leemajors, synapics manager
[00:13] <rizkhan> *syanptic manager
[00:13] <nickrud> leemajors, the easiest way is  dpkg -L <pkgname>
[00:13] <whalebone> telling folks to put forth some effort after they have come to irc is ignorant
[00:13] <whalebone> i already googled, called a friend, and sacrificed a chicken on the keyboard.
[00:13] <MrLinux> How do I find a file in the sistem ?
[00:13] <ariel_> do a search
[00:14] <leemajors> rizkhan: yeah, that's the way i will do it from now on, but for new users, they use add/remove, and it's not clear where apps go when you use that to install...
[00:14] <MrLinux> root@server2:~# locate webmin

[00:16] <anirudh0> sebastian, kdebase
[00:16] <anirudh0> sebastian, dont install just konqueror or amarok, install kdebase...else there will be subtle problems(i/o plugins missing etc)

[00:17] <Veinor> I'm having a problem getting suspend and hibernate to work on a HP pavilion dv9000.
[00:17] <sebastian> but i dont want all programs because i use gnome aswell
[00:18] <unlink> i.e., client authentication
[00:18] <Veinor> Namely, it doesn't work.
[00:18] <definitely> Anyone can HELP ME ? I cant say .conkyrc FILE as WESTERN ISO :(((
[00:18] <anirudh0> sebastian, i would suggest kdebase, since it is the minimal set that fully works
[00:18] <definitely> SAVE''
[00:18] <anirudh0> definitely, ?
[00:18] <maco> anyone using swfdec for flash on 64bit ubuntu?
[00:18] <maco> hardy, i mean
[00:19] <definitely> anirudh0: Could not save the file /home/definitely/.conkyrc using the Western (ISO-8859-15) character coding
[00:19] <anirudh0> unlink, maybe using https...just guessing though

Simple by gedit :S
[00:19] <darwin> I uninstalled the repostitory version and installed the adobe labs flash 10 beta 2 rpm using alien, and what do i need to do from there to get it working in firefox
[00:19] <sebastian> ok thx
[00:20] <anirudh0> definitely, strange..whats your default language and character set?
[00:20] <unlink> anirudh0: https doesn't provide any authentication itself

[00:20] <anirudh0> unlink, as i said, i was just guessing
[00:20] <unlink> anirudh0: i.e., SSL doesn't
[00:20] <ariel_> Veinor, I have a few HP's laptops and your correct.  There is no way to get it working right now. We are going to have to wait for an update.
[00:20] <anirudh0> unlink, why do you want to do this though?
[00:20] <leemajors> without using synaptic(which i now know is the better app) how do you find the name of an installed program once you've installed it using add/remove applications? you can only use dpkg when you know the actual name...
[00:21] <unlink> anirudh0: i want to publish a private apt repository which is reachable from the internet
[00:21] <anirudh0> unlink, just dont publish the address in the web...give it as needed to people you want to..this is very primitive, but should work
[00:21] <unlink> leemajors: dpkg --list is one way
[00:21] <definitely> anirudh0: : How to check ? :S
[00:21] <unlink> anirudh0: it will work fine. but i don't want to publish it to anyone but a few people
[00:21] <Fryguy--> leemajors: unfortunately I don't know the name of the command line switch, but dpkg also supports a mechanism for listing packages, it might be dpkg --get-selections or something.  See if the manpage has some details on it
[00:21] <leemajors> unlink: ah! that is a handy thing to know
[00:21] <kosnick> when in recovery mode i am root , right? i try to use apt-get to reinstall sth but i can not get the lock to /var/lib/dpkg
[00:22] <c0mp13371331337> leemajors: You can also search through /var/cache/apt/archives.
[00:22] <jon__> hello
[00:22] <unop> kosnick, is /var mounted ?
[00:22] <rizkhan> kosnick, some other tool might have it ..
[00:22] <jon__> is snes9x two players?
[00:22] <leemajors> but still, for new users who have used the add/remove, it's pretty hard to figure out where their new program has gone...
[00:22] <kosnick> unop : i can cd to it if that counts
[00:23] <anirudh0> unlink, http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/513
[00:23] <kosnick> rizkhan : i try to recover from a crash and i start up to a recovery mode , can some other tool have it?
[00:23] <unop> kosnick, are you sure you don't have any other APT tool running already?  dpkg, apt-get, aptitude, etc
[00:23] <leemajors> rizkhan: are you the aljazeera rizkhan?
[00:23] <Slurb> hmm

[00:24] <kosnick> unop : i am not - i just started up to recovery mode just to try to recover from a crash
[00:24] <anirudh0> kosnick, do a "sudo killall apt-get" to be sure

[00:32] <Fryguy--> Vakarian: what graphics card? nvidia or atI?
[00:32] <Vakarian> When I plug in an external display, the screen resolution configuration tool wont let me select a resolution bigger than the laptop screen's native size.

[00:33] <boodahbellie> did networking config change from 7.10 to 8.04
[00:33] <Vakarian> Despite the fact that the external monitor is a 20" 1680*1050 - the native monitor is 17" 1440*900
[00:33] <mindrape> ideas?
[00:33] <Vakarian> Fryguy--: Intel, actually.
[00:33] <x3> I have loads of dvd on hdd but converting them to whatever is a drag in linux
[00:33] <Vakarian> Yey Dell. :/
[00:33] <null_vector> where would I go to ask about  problems with intrepid?
[00:33] <x3> so far
[00:33] <anirudh0> mindframe, maybe mysql -u root needs to be run under sudo?
[00:33] <mindrape> anirudh0 - did that already.
[00:33] <x3> I need to persevere a bit
[00:33] <habit> Hello. Where I can find original sources.list ?
[00:34] <boodahbellie> x3... checkout lifehacker.com about controlling your DVD ripping with VLC
[00:34] <anirudh0> habit, ubuntuguide.org
[00:34] <Dedi> can anyone remember me how to rename partitions?
[00:34] <Vakarian> I once managed to get it to display the correct resolution, but I have no idea what I did to get it to work, and it reset as soon as I rebooted.
[00:34] <boodahbellie> x3...it can RIP and convert streams to several formats of your choosing
[00:35] <CWii> null_vector, It's not stable software
[00:35] <mindrape> anirudh0:  just figured it out... I did a dpkg-reconfigure.
[00:35] <x3> my problem is not ruipping
[00:35] <CWii> null_vector, You mean file a bug report?
[00:35] <CorpseFeeder> Has anyone here been able to get GoogleEarth 4.3(beta) to work in Ubuntu 8.04 yet?
[00:35] <x3> my problem is converting the rips
[00:35] <x3> not streams
[00:36] <habit> anirudh0, I'm @ ubuntuguide now, but I cannot find there original file.

[00:36] <boodahbellie> hmm... if you use vlc from now on, it RIP and converts at the same time...http://www.therealcaffeine.com/how-to/rip-dvd-with-vlc/
[00:36] <boodahbellie> not sure what to do about your current RIPs tho
[00:36] <kosnick> unop : the command you mentioned returned : "dpkg : unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system"
[00:37] <habit> I cannot check security updates @ options, anyone know that issue?
[00:37] <x3> from now on I will do something but now I cant do anything..... is that it?
[00:38] <x3> google earth theres a package available in synaptic installer
[00:38] <boodahbellie> sorry, i wish i had a better answer. i do all my ripping on my windows machine
[00:38] <null_vector> CWii I understand it's not stable.  I'm trying to do some work for MOTU.
[00:38] <anirudh0> habit, there'll be a section "adding extra repositories" ...see there
[00:38] <boodahbellie> anyone... is it possible to use Linksys wireless card to onnect to Dlink router?
[00:38] <CWii> null_vector, So you want to file a bug report...?
[00:39] <Vakarian> Where is the X configuration file? Perhaps I can manually set the resolution?
[00:39] <Fryguy--> Vakarian: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:39] <anirudh0> kosnick, try sudo touch /test
[00:39] <Vakarian> Ta
[00:39] <null_vector> CWii: Just having display issues with my laptop.  Would like to try to narrow down the cause.
[00:40] <marko-_-> boodahbellie, i have a tplink card connected to the router
[00:40] <marko-_-> linksys router
[00:40] <kosnick> anirudh0 : while in /var/lib/dpkg i tried mkdir directory_name and more or less i got the same answer : i could not create a new directory
[00:40] <CWii> null_vector, ummm.... Have you tried Hardy?
[00:40] <Vakarian> Yikes, there is no resolution configuration here.
[00:40] <boodahbellie> marko, i'm having trouble even getting 7.10 to notice the linksys card
[00:41] <anirudh0> kosnick, reboot
[00:41] <marko-_-> boodahbellie, why don't you use 8.04 ?
[00:41] <kosnick> anirudh0 : this happend after a new startup into recovery mode
[00:41] <boodahbellie> burning it right now

[00:42] <CWii> Yay!
[00:42] <null_vector> CWii: Hardy's fine laptop monitor stopped getting autodetected and I cant get nvidia-glx to work
[00:42] <marko-_-> boodahbellie, it's the newest version... so... i think it hasd
[00:42] <CWii> null_vector, Hm. Sorry, I can't help there :(
[00:42] <boodahbellie> cool, didnt read the updates yet
[00:42] <CorpseFeeder> Google Earth seems to install fine - it just won't run.
[00:43] <CWii> boodahbellie, Again. It's on off.
[00:43] <CWii> boodahbellie, I can't get mine to work.
[00:43] <anirudh0> CorpseFeeder, try from cmd line..post error
[00:43] <null_vector> CWii: thanks anyways.  I've got vesa working so it's fine for now.
[00:43] <Vakarian> Where on earth is the Gnome resolution configuration tool storing its data then?
[00:43] <boodahbellie> CWii, interesting... i'll give it a try, thanks marco. gotta take the kids to get dinner.
[00:44] <CWii> Bye bye.
[00:44] <nickrud> Vakarian, ~/.gnome2/monitors.xml
[00:44] <anirudh0> Vakarian, /etc/xdg?
[00:44] <anirudh0> ah
[00:44] <kosnick> anirudh0 : i am starting up into recovery mode and obviously (is this correct?) i am root. Why is the partition read-only ? Any clue?
[00:45] <anirudh0> kosnick, i've faced this before..but dont remember what caused it
[00:45] <Mok_> hello
[00:45] <anirudh0> kosnick, reboot into normal mode solved it for me then
[00:45] <CorpseFeeder> anirudh0, There is no error. It just won't connect to the server and hangs. I can make only make it run if I install it as root and run it as root. But then there is no fonts.
[00:46] <x3> boodahbellie 8.04 supports my laptop a XPS 1730
[00:46] <x3> with n draft wifi
[00:46] <nickrud> kosnick, I've seen cases where the root partition was corrupted, running fsck from a live disk fixed it. Not saying it's that in your case for sure
[00:46] <Mok_> is anybody familiar with making a transparent proxy with ipnat?
[00:46] <Vakarian> nickrud / anirudh0: Thanks. :)
[00:46] <kosnick> anirudh0 : i can not boot into normal mode . It crashed when it tries to start up the x server (at least this is my thinking)
[00:46] <kosnick> nickrud : ok
[00:47] <anirudh0> CorpseFeeder, behind proxy?
[00:47] <kurozu> Hello can someone tell me how you install .exe filer and run games with ubuntu?
[00:47] <Mok_> rdr     bge2    0.0.0.0/0       port 80 -> 127.0.0.1    port 8080       tcp
[00:47] <anirudh0> CorpseFeeder, if so you need the HTTP_PROXY variable set
[00:47] <Mok_> bge2 being my internal interface
[00:47] <Rhorse> Have you tried this fix? http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=520952
[00:47] <Rhorse> CorpseFeeder, Have you tried this fix? http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=520952
[00:47] <kosnick> nickrud : why should i use a live cd to fsck the partition? is it because i am "in" the active partition to do so?
[00:48] <leemajors> anyone have a favourite dockbar app?
[00:48] <Tamale> gnome-panel? :)
[00:48] <Vakarian> Ugh, the correct resolution is in the gnome2 config.
[00:48] <kurozu> Help someone !
[00:49] <anirudh0> !wine
[00:49] <anirudh0> !cedega
[00:49] <kurozu> ty
[00:49] <CorpseFeeder> Rhorse, that fix does not look relevant. mine will run but only if installed and run as root.
[00:49] <nickrud> kosnick, yes, you can't fsck a mounted drive
[00:49] <Rhorse> I had a freezing problem and Kilz's fix on that page worked for me.
[00:49] <CorpseFeeder> anirudh0, I am not behind a proxy.
[00:49] <Vakarian> I suppose the easy solution would be to try KDE. ;-)
[00:49] <Rhorse> CorpseFeeder, I had a freezing problem and Kilz's fix on that page worked for me.
[00:50] <CorpseFeeder> Rhorse, it doesn't freeze... it jsut never logs in and the earth never appears
[00:50] <emiliano> hi everyone
[00:51] <instantsoup> hello
[00:51] <Rhorse> CorpseFeeder, OK, Sorry.
[00:51] <plt258>  how do i add a destination in the "send to" when i rite click a file
[00:53] <instantsoup> i have a little problem with ubuntu 8.04. For some reason my gnome panels are blank and i cant open the alt+f3 thing to open apps (i can still open apps in the filebrowser though and ctrl+alt+f1 works too). This just happens randomly, i think this time it happened after i closed the image viewer.
[00:54] <kurozu> why does the terminal ask for password? i cant writ enything when its come
[00:54] <nickrud> kurozu, it just doesn't show the characters you type. It still reads them
[00:54] <eZe> hi, i just tried teamspeak and i get a constant beeping in the background, even when the microphone is on off, could this be a software problem?
[00:55] <CorpseFeeder> Google-Earth 4.2 runs and installs fine - I will just use that instead.
[00:55] <plt258>  how do i add a destination choice in the "send to" when i rite click a file
[00:55] <CorpseFeeder> Google Earth 4.3 obviously has issues with my system...
[00:55] <instantsoup> everthing on the bars is gone, except the user tab, the wireless network status icon and the sound pref icon (they work too. But the applications, places and System tab is gone and opened applications don't have tabs on the bottom bar either
[00:56] <htc> hi
[00:56] <htc> who?
[00:56] <nickrud> !resetpanels | instantsoup
[00:57] <plt258> CorpseFeeder : most likely your cpu, google earth 4.3 needs SSEE, have you got an older system?
[00:57] <instantsoup> hmm ok thanks :) how do i open xterm without the alt+f3?
[00:58] <poningru> instantsoup: alt+f2?
[00:58] <poningru> ;)
[00:59] <CorpseFeeder> plt258, I don't know what SSEE is. GE 4.3 runs fine (apart from fonts) if run as root... so I don't see how the CPU type can be the problem.
[00:59] <instantsoup> uh dunno if alt+f3 or alt+f2, both are not working though :p
[01:00] <plt258> didnt realize it ran at all,
[01:00] <poningru> instantsoup: you can always just go through the menu
[01:00] <CWii> CorpseFeeder, It's a processor execution process
[01:00] <CorpseFeeder> plt258, that's ok.. probably missed the earlier conversation ;)
[01:01] <instantsoup> the menu is missing from the bars as well if you mean that
[01:01] <CorpseFeeder> CWii, thanks.
[01:01] <shoeunited> crap just removed abi-  in /boot/  am I looking at a reinstall
[01:01] <shoeunited> ?
[01:02] <nickrud> instantsoup, clt-alt-f1 , do it there
[01:03] <plt258>  how do i add a destination choice in the "send to" when i rite click a file
[01:03] <instantsoup> nickrud yeah, i thought about that too, but a new shortcut on the desktop to xterm worked too heh
[01:03]  * shoeunited loves tilda
[01:03] <nickrud> shoeunited, sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-<missing abi numbers>
[01:03] <shoeunited> Ah thanks nickrud :D
[01:05] <nickrud> plt258, usually that's added by an app that understands the send to protocol, you might try writing a script to do what you want and putting it in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
[01:05] <thenewguy> plextor
[01:06] <plt258> i,ll have a look at the script
[01:06] <kurozu> where can i get Cedega can't get it on the homepage =/
[01:06] <instantsoup> ok thanks the bars are back and alt+f2 works again. Any idea why it happened?
[01:06] <enos> Philosophy Question: "can computers think?"
[01:07] <Tamale> enos: better philosophy question:  "can humans think?"
[01:07] <shoeunited> Cognito Cognito Ergot Cognito Sum
[01:08] <enos> Tamale: yes
[01:08] <Tamale> enos: How can you prove that?
[01:08] <softwaretech> I'm trying to access my personal network but I'm not seeing my other computer.  I've  got a lot enabled...any assistance?
[01:08] <Tamale> enos: Worded better.. how can you prove the 'thinking' you think we do is any more or less significant than the thinking a computer does?
[01:09] <Tamale> softwaretech: are they all ubuntu?
[01:09] <shoeunited> Turing Test.
[01:09] <shoeunited> ;)
[01:09] <Rhorse> enos, well, I guess just like people: some do and some don't.
[01:09] <softwaretech> Tamale, the other is Windows
[01:09] <Tamale> shoeunited: Ah.. but the turing test only equates machine intelligence to human intelligence.. it doesn't actually say if either one is 'thinking'
[01:10] <McChic> Howdy folks
[01:10] <Tamale> softwaretech: I have this problem too.  Can you connect to it manually with smbclient ?
[01:10] <rizkhan> Tamale: but as long as it can do wat humans can do its intelligent, no matter how it does it, may be thru random search :P
[01:10] <softwaretech> I've not  used smbclient
[01:10] <softwaretech> is that software?
[01:10] <rizkhan> softwaretech: u need to install samba
[01:10] <Tamale> it's the backend basic tool that lets you connect to windows computers from linux
[01:10] <shoeunited> Evolution suggests that intelligence is grounded on thinking, does it not?  The microbe will attack what it can eat, but the intelligent being will pick and choose based on complex chemical switches.

[01:11] <lenix_> hello
[01:12] <McChic> Anybody else have trouble w/ flash not playing nicely w/ alsa?
[01:12] <rizkhan> there is nuthn as true inteligence, its just search with heuristics :)
[01:12] <shoeunited> I'm open to a 'someday' approach, but I don't think we're there yet.  A computer's intelligence is only as good as the people who make them.
[01:12] <lenix_> on my previous ubuntu installation, i used to get the nvidia logo before welcome screen, and it used to set my refresh rate automatically on boot, now it doesnt, any idea how i can make it happen again ?
[01:12] <Tamale> i think "true intelligence" could be pretty nicely defined by saying that it requires the perception of one's own self and purpose
[01:12] <entie> i've got a networking problem with some ports being open
[01:13] <rizkhan> entie: ask !
[01:13] <shoeunited> Tamale, question then:  Does a crab have intelligence?
[01:13] <Tamale> shoeunited: No, I would say that it harbors complex reflexes
[01:13] <Tamale> nothing more
[01:14] <shoeunited> A crab will choose specific items that attract it to place on its back.  (Shells, cans, etc.)
[01:14] <shoeunited> Ravens do show independent intelligence.

[01:17] <Flycaster> i've a nvidia 7300 video card
[01:17] <entie> so, netstat -a on my outside machine shows the ports open, but nmap of the outside machine shows them closed
[01:17] <cr4> hi all, does anybody here can help me, I got a strange error while I want to make a update ... dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:17] <entie> iptables are off as far as i can tell
[01:17] <rizkhan> entie: use dyndns.org to assign an address to the ip. fix the ip it gets using dhcp in ur router
[01:17] <FAJALOU> !wifi
[01:17] <rizkhan> n thats it
[01:17] <Flycaster> cr4 sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:18] <entie> rizkhan: sometimes i'm at a coffee shop and still need an outside ip.  i can't control hte router in that case
[01:18] <entie> sshtunneling works at coffee shops, work, home, other people's houses.
[01:18] <Flycaster> cr4: solved?
[01:18] <FAJALOU> trying to set up an airlink card to use wireless n but it is not working, the best i get is g, and i have to use ndiswrapper, help anyone?
[01:18] <cr4> Flycaster: I did it but it recomens me to type different kind od helps, like foce help etc
[01:18] <lenix_> each time i reboot my refresh rate gets back to 60hz, any idea how can i let it be 75hz on boot ?
[01:18] <cr4> Flycaster: no no jet
[01:19] <rizkhan> entie: may be i dint get ur question, can u rephrase again
[01:20] <Flycaster> cr4: this problem when there is a not configured package, i solved it typing "sudo dpkg --configure -a" (sorry my poor english i'm italian :))
[01:20] <entie> alright, here is a simpler version.  i have a ubuntu box that 'netstat -a' says has port 3000 open.  but nmap says is closed
[01:20] <cr4> Flycaster: I'm mexican lol
[01:20] <Flycaster> cr4: lol :D
[01:20] <Flycaster> cr4: what kind of program are you trying to install?
[01:21] <entie> i have no iptable rules as far as i can tell

[01:21] <Warp4> entie: can you telnet to the ubuntu box on port 3000?
[01:22] <cr4> Flycaster:  it's ok I was making a update when the electrical energy goes, so when I return to turn on the pc I got a graphical problem with resolution, after that I though could be possible to solve with a update , and that's the error it shows me...
[01:22] <entie> Warp4: no, it says connection refused
[01:22] <McChi1> Howdy folks. Can someone please tell me the name of the KDE application that gives me a blue splash and then handles user login and how to safely remove it?
[01:22] <Bodsda> Can anyone link me to some documentation about writing gnome-panel applets -- preferabbly in python
[01:23] <Warp4> entie: nmap, in my experience, is usually correct in these cases.  if port 3000 does not let you connect, then there is no daemon listening on that port
[01:23] <Flycaster> cr4: and typing the suggested comand do not solved the problem with dpkg?
[01:23] <zcat[1]> !opera
[01:23] <cr4> Flycaster: no it doesn't works man
[01:23] <landster> when using the fglrx drivers can a custom resolution be defined?
[01:23] <cr4> Flycaster: I'm sure if I make a update it will be solved
[01:23] <Tamale> yes
[01:24] <Flycaster> cr4: maybe there is a corrupted package, but i don't know how to help... sorry :(

[01:31] <IdleOne> Tul|y, it is not supposed to.
[01:31] <Tamale> herrkin: assuming you have a fresh install, just go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers   and enable the ati driver
[01:32] <pastorwhipple> is it safe to use update manager to upgrade to 8.10
[01:32] <Bodsda> Tul|y, please watch your language
[01:32] <Tamale> 8.10 ?
[01:32] <IdleOne> pastorwhipple, at your own risk. BTW if you need to ask that then no you should not

[01:35] <herrkin> that doesnt work tamale
[01:35] <pastorwhipple> i'll try it tonight see if it works on my laptop
[01:35] <Bodsda> Tul|y, if you mean the language, then no im not joking, this channel is family friendly, ie a no swearing zone
[01:35] <TruJasper> can anyone help me?

[01:36] <TruJasper> I cant even write it down because it jumps to the ubuntu loading screen, then moves me into a command prompt like black screen.
[01:36] <herrkin> I have a fresh installation, so I did what you said and my pc just show a black screen after the logo
[01:36] <pastorwhipple> thanks Bodsda ... we don't really need to read cuss words

[01:37] <ektoplasm> Hey, I have an issue with mounting and writing. I have added a second SATA drive to my machine, and formatted it with one partition set as ext3. I have successfully made it mount at bootup, but the problem I'm having is that I can't get every user to write to it, only root. This is a problem, because I'm sharing it through Samba, and others need to write to it. Any ideas?
[01:37] <IdleOne> !coc > pastorwhipple
[01:37] <Bodsda> pastorwhipple, your welcome, if i cant help anyone, i can at least uphold the rules ;~)
[01:37] <herrkin> tamale: do you know any alternative way?
[01:38] <TruJasper> Not to be rude, but can someone privite message me for support?
[01:38] <IdleOne> lol Bodsda that way you help everyone
[01:38] <IdleOne> :)
[01:38] <rizkhan> ektoplasm: chmod doesnt work ?
[01:38] <Bodsda> IdleOne, definately ;~)
[01:39] <ektoplasm> rizkhan: I'm pretty sure I've tried that, but let me give it another shot
[01:39] <rizkhan> n then set it up as write enable while sharing too
[01:39] <TruJasper> sigh.... anyone knows about this problem?
[01:40] <Fryguy--> TruJasper: like i said, without an error message we can't even begin to help you
[01:40] <TruJasper> How can I get the error down, if I cant even see it for more then  seconds?

[01:41] <TruJasper> infinito ? huh?
[01:41] <ektoplasm> rizkhan: Ahh, got it! I did a "chmod +rw" instead of "chmod a+rw". Thanks :)

[01:42] <Bodsda> TruJasper, maybe, dunno
[01:42] <rizkhan> ektoplasm: np !
[01:42] <TruJasper> I dont have a burner ....

[01:44] <TruJasper> ok

[01:44] <rizkhan> TruJasper: yeah, the alternate install file .. it will small ..
[01:44] <victor__> hi, sensors app doesn't work in my vaio, I did sensors-detect and loaded the modules it told me to, but when I run sensors, it tells me that the kernel drivers are not loaded, can anyone help me out?
[01:44] <saint-takeshi> oh crap
[01:44] <victor__> No sensors found!
[01:45] <victor__> Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
[01:45] <saint-takeshi> didn't realize the conversation had moved, for some reason it hadn't scrolled
[01:45] <jparis_> Hello people
[01:45] <TruJasper> can you privite message me please, this conversation keeps getting me lost.. sorry
[01:45] <Bodsda> hi
[01:46] <Leefmc> Question: Anyone know what would cause something to fail during the miniiso Ubuntu install download phase? Specifically, something like "apt mirror" (i can't remember exactly) is failing everytime during the install phase
[01:46] <kurozu> hello can someone tell me how i can see my main hd ? can only see my other hd
[01:46] <FAJALOU> how can i find which driver my usb wifi card is?
[01:46] <saint-takeshi> Leefmc: could be a network issue
[01:46] <saint-takeshi> FAJALOU: lsusb
[01:47] <mkz> I'm trying to create a dvd for my stand-alone player from an AVI file.  I've used ffmpeg to transcode it to mpg, then used dvdauthore to create the dvd structure and toc.  I then used mkisofs to create and iso of the dvd structure.  Finally I'm burning the ISO to a dvd with growisofs.  When I play the dvd in the player, the player identies it as a data disc.  Anyone else run into this?
[01:47] <FAJALOU> saint-takeshi: all it says is atheros communications
[01:47] <FAJALOU> but i have had to use ndiswrapper to get it to work...
[01:47] <Leefmc> saint-takeshi: Well, it seems all the other ones before that (the apt mirror download is at like 40-50%), so if ones before that succeed, i dont get why that one thing fails everytime
[01:47] <Bodsda> Leefmc, i had that prob when uinstalling debian, try going back, it should give you a list of things, just choose the one after tat stage
[01:47] <mkz> s/dvdauthore/dvdauthor/
[01:47] <FAJALOU> !ntfs
[01:47] <Leefmc> Bodsda: Isn't it needed?
[01:47] <FAJALOU> kurozu: is it ntfs?
[01:48] <saint-takeshi> FAJALOU: i think there's only one atheros wifi driver
[01:48] <kurozu> yes
[01:48] <Bodsda> Leefmc, isnt it indeed what?
[01:48] <FAJALOU> !ntfs | kurozu
[01:48] <kurozu> think so
[01:48] <saint-takeshi> like one package for all the drivers
[01:48] <saint-takeshi> but i think it's "restricted"
[01:49] <FAJALOU> saint-takeshi: ok, but doesn't it normally just work then?  and so what should i do to get it to work?
[01:49] <wuxia> i have two directories on two different directories; one of them contains 152 GB of data; i want the other to be a mirror of it; cp -R is not the ideal solution, as the data in the original partition will be updated, what is a tool i can use to mirror this?
[01:49] <saint-takeshi> try the "restricted drivers"
[01:49] <FAJALOU> there is no mention of it in restricted drivers
[01:50] <saint-takeshi> i think it's just called "hardware drivers" under system -> administration now (did the word "restricted" frighten new users?)
[01:50] <ubunubi> is there a way to make ubuntu not cache negative DNS entries?
[01:50] <FAJALOU> if i go into "Hardware Drivers" in System>administration, there is no mention of it, only my nvidia card.
[01:50] <unop> ubunubi, define "negative DNS entries"
[01:51] <corq-FL> I ended up having to use the ndiswrapper method
[01:51] <ubunubi> unop:: when a DNS entry is invalid or unreachable or gets anything besides an "everything is great" response
[01:51] <At0x0> I copied some files over from my old Ubuntu box to my new one. On both boxes, my user is "mike". Even after doing "chown -R mike *" and chmoding them I can't access the files/folders.
[01:52] <FAJALOU> saint-takeshi: is the driver for it in synaptic?
[01:52] <saint-takeshi> FAJALOU: i'm not sure then...i know there's something specific about atheros wifi cards....try aptitude search atheros in a terminal
[01:52] <ubunubi> unop:: there was a registry hack in xp that lets you disable the caching of them and it keeps your webbrowser from having to wait for a DNS cache update ,after not being able to reach a site, it can try again right away
[01:52] <kurozu> what am i going to do to see my main hd ? =&
[01:52] <x3> right after a million tries seems that mencoder front end is rubbish for encoding already ripped dvds
[01:53] <ubunubi> unop:: negativecacheTTL is the terminology
[01:53] <x3> avidemux does the job
[01:53] <x3> prolly not as well but does it
[01:53] <At0x0> Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/25110/
[01:53] <FAJALOU> saint-takeshi: i did that, and what i got is that the restricted drivers for 2.6.24-19-generic are already installd
[01:54] <FAJALOU> should i try the 386 version also because only generic are installed right now.
[01:55] <FAJALOU> no, b/c my kernel isn't 386 it's generic
[01:55] <leemajors> every so often my mouse decides to stop working -:(
[01:55] <x3> fajalou what u trying to do?
[01:56] <FAJALOU> trying to get my airlink card (atheros) to work without using ndiswrapper.
[01:56] <x3> leemajora change the batteries on the mouse or trash the laser crap
[01:56] <FAJALOU> it should just show up under restricted drivers right?
[01:56] <Fryguy--> FAJALOU: is there a driver available?
[01:56] <leemajors> x3: batteries are fine... does ubuntu have a problem with the "laser crap"?
[01:56] <_rafa_> hello
[01:56] <x3> it should be automatically detected and drivers presented for it
[01:56] <_rafa_> can anyone help me with driver problems?
[01:56] <x3> is it wifi?
[01:57] <FAJALOU> Fryguy--: ther is a driver available from the cd,
[01:57] <FAJALOU> x3:  yes usb.
[01:57] <x3> ah
[01:57] <FAJALOU> ah, that's scary
[01:57] <Lascivus> You will have to download the Madwifi drivers to get it to work
[01:57] <x3> usb prolly needs  a kick up the arse
[01:57] <Lascivus> I have the same card
[01:57] <FAJALOU> lascivus:  where are those drivers?
[01:57] <FAJALOU> and are they better than using ndiswrapper?
[01:58] <Lascivus> madwifi.org
[01:58] <Megaxel> Howdy
[01:58] <tj83> anyone here can explain the in's and out's of voice chat on IRC? specifically xchat client?
[01:58] <Megaxel> I'm a complete beginner having trouble booting into Ubuntu
[01:58] <Fryguy--> tj83: irc doesn't support voice chat
[01:58] <x3> whats the card tech info?
[01:58] <Megaxel> Can anybody please take a look at my forum topic and lend me a helping hand?
[01:58] <Megaxel> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=849795
[01:58] <Lascivus> Yeah, however if you're using the 64 bit version you will need the ndiswrapper
[01:58] <Megaxel> Thanks in advance
[01:58] <FAJALOU> x3:  in my lsusb all i can get is atheros communications inc.
[01:58] <FAJALOU> Lascivus: using generic kernel
[01:58] <Lascivus> Same here
[01:59] <unop> ubunubi, are negative entrie cached at the moment ?
[01:59] <phish> I just installed 8.04.1 and i'm wondering how i can use Pulse Audio? I'm having trouble with ALSA for some reason, VLC isn't playing music back but "movie player" is >_>
[01:59] <Lascivus> one sec
[01:59] <FAJALOU> 0.9.4 should work?
[01:59] <Megaxel> (If anybody's going to take a look at the topic, just holler "yeah, new guy, I'll help you" or some such acknowledgement)
[01:59] <ubunubi> unop:: i'm not sure. i'm doing research on whether ubuntu has a default dns cache (i assume it does). busy googling atm
[01:59] <tj83> Fryguy--, well in private channel ops can give or take voice with /voice nick
[01:59] <_rafa_> help please?
[01:59] <Megaxel> (otherwise I'll feel lonely and unloved)
[01:59] <_rafa_> having driver problems
[01:59] <Lascivus> file:///home/tketner/madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007
[01:59] <Fryguy--> tj83: having +v status means that you can chat when the channel is in moderated (+m) mode
[02:00] <Lascivus> That is ther version I'm using
[02:00] <entie> GatewayPorts has to be enabled to have a reverse sshtunnel
[02:00] <unop> ubunubi, i believe negative entries are not cached - have a look in /etc/dnsmasq.conf
[02:00] <entie> glad that is working
[02:00] <tj83> Fryguy--, oh.. I C thanks for pointing that out.
[02:00] <FAJALOU> Lascivus: ... ??
[02:00] <_rafa_> i need help with using a tablet, help please?
[02:01] <Megaxel> Well, if it seems that nobody here can help me boot into Ubuntu, could you guys at least point me in the right direction?
[02:01] <Megaxel> Who do I ask next?
[02:01] <rizkhan> entie: good for you :)
[02:02] <unop> Megaxel, what's stopping you from booting ubuntu up?
[02:02] <Megaxel> In short, I'm a n00b
[02:02] <Megaxel> I can't locate the kernel or initrd for NeoGrub
[02:02] <_rafa_> megaxel: if u just simply need to boot into ubuntu what i would do is install anyother linux distro and use its boot loader
[02:02] <unop> Megaxel, why not use the usual grub ?
[02:02] <Megaxel> I have a bootloader that lets me go from Vista to XP to NeoGrub
[02:03] <Megaxel> and don't particularly feel like messing everything up
[02:03] <Megaxel> If I can get NeoGrub working, that would be ideal
[02:03] <Megaxel> I started a forum topic
[02:03] <unop> Megaxel, grub is capable of loading windows - you really ought to use it
[02:03] <Megaxel> A repost of the link follows:
[02:03] <Megaxel> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=849795
[02:03] <_rafa_> megaxel: install something small like DSL and use its bootloader to go into ubuntu then delete it with gparted once your in
[02:03] <etronik> Hi all - I'm using torrentlfux web based BT (which uses bittornado I think) - but the downloads I tried brought my Ubuntu PC to its knees - two processes were taking 95% of the CPU : dd and klogd - any ideas ?
[02:03] <Fryguy--> Megaxel: why aren't you just doing things the standard ubuntu way
[02:03] <Megaxel> unop: I only realized this AFTER I configured EasyBCD.  As stated, the cliff notes of my problem would be that I am a n00b
[02:04] <unop> Megaxel, neogrub is unsupported here  - you might have to find a neogrub channel or refer to it's documentation - if you insist on using it but we advise you against it
[02:04] <Fryguy--> etronik: klogd going nuts suggests a much more serious issue.  Is there anything noteworthy in /var/log
[02:04] <_rafa_> can anyone help me with a couple of drivers?
[02:05] <etronik> Fryguy--: I'll have toi look
[02:05] <Megaxel> Well I don't think NeoGrub itself is the issue, more the syntax
[02:05] <Leefmc> Bodsda: I said isn't it needed, not indeed :p. "It" being the thing that failed downloading, apt mirror something. But its rather Moot, my LiveCD wasn't working so thats why i was using the mini iso, but i reburnt the livecd and now all is great! :D
[02:05] <Megaxel> I just need to know the generic locations of kernel and initrd
[02:05] <Fryguy--> Megaxel: both are in /boot
[02:05] <Megaxel> (I hope, at any rate)
[02:05] <unop> Megaxel, again, we're unaware as to how it works and moreover it's not ubuntu related, so it's offtopic here
[02:05] <offline> hi. is there any software for backup/restoring system partition ?
[02:05] <rizkhan> any ideas abt a good ide in linux .. similar to VS .. my friend cant work in vim :P

[02:06] <_rafa_> can anyone here help me use my tablet?
[02:06] <etronik> Fryguy--: Any particular log in /var/log ?? in webmin "System logs" I have a ton of them...
[02:06] <Megaxel> unop: Thanks anyways
[02:06] <Fryguy--> rizkhan: your friend should take the time to learn vim.  Also check out emacs, eclipse, anjuta
[02:06] <Megaxel> I'M OFF!
[02:06] <ariel_> rizkhan, use nano
[02:06] <Fryguy--> !webmin | etronik

[02:12] <Fryguy--> [gnubie]: giving more than a few seconds for people to type replies is appreciated
[02:12] <Leefmc> (What would i hit on the wiki, ssh server?)
[02:12] <leemajors> Fryguy--: nope, last messages in there are saying the mouse has been configured correctly
[02:12] <zyx386> can convert font packet 32 fonts to .deb and automaticly installed to /usr/share/fonts/truetype ?
[02:12] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: yah
[02:12] <Leefmc> Fryguy--: K thanks
[02:12] <unop> Leefmc, install the openssh-server package on the other machine
[02:12] <[gnubie]> Fryguy--: ok.. ;)
[02:13] <Leefmc> unop: Roger
[02:13] <Fryguy--> [gnubie]: something is missing for the driver then, or you are using the wrong driver for your card.  If it doesnt' show up in ifconfig or iwconfig then the driver isn't loaded.  Unfortunately i don't have any more advice to give you in pursuit of the problem
[02:13] <Leefmc> unop: On a side note, i think we were talking yesterday about this, im installing ubuntu as we speak on my mac pro, goin great so far :)
[02:13] <[gnubie]> Fryguy--: ok
[02:13] <[gnubie]> Fryguy--: thanks
[02:14] <unop> Leefmc, don't let a mac-lover know that you are doing that :)
[02:14] <molgrum> why does the update manager always say that it's fetching for example 83 files but afterwards says that i'm up-to-date?
[02:14] <Fryguy--> [gnubie]: have you read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[02:14] <Fryguy--> [gnubie]: or this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear

[02:29] <WhyACow> does anyone have a tutorial on how to move your / to another drive?
[02:30] <sensae> Hello. My wireless is only working with non-encrypted APs
[02:30] <bazhang> !paste > ZaNGaMaN
[02:30] <ZaNGaMaN> ok
[02:30] <ZaNGaMaN> so can anyone help me with this?
[02:31] <Fryguy--> ZaNGaMaN: check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766169
[02:32] <unop> WhyACow, this needs to be done offline tho - from within a live CD session or similar. mount your partitions (the old / and the new /) and run this command.   rsync -av /path/to/old /path/to/new
[02:32] <WhyACow> thanks!
[02:33] <Fryguy--> WhyACow: you'll probably have to fix grub after doing that as well
[02:33] <unop> WhyACow, then what you'll need  to do is edit your /etc/fstab file and change the partition for /
[02:33] <WhyACow> thank u
[02:34] <[gnubie]> brb
[02:34] <unop> WhyACow, /etc/fstab would be something like /path/to/old/etc/fstab (from within your live CD session)
[02:34] <renoboy> fryguy after i reboot sys off cd will ubuntu run?
[02:35] <Fryguy--> renoboy: the livecd will run yes, not what you installed to your hard drive
[02:35] <IdleOne> renoboy,  what version did you install? server version?
[02:35] <max____> I'm having problems with my ATI HD3850... the login screen doesnt load, I get a black screen and I cannot proceed.
[02:35] <renoboy> im not sure let me check
[02:35] <Fryguy--> max____: hit ctrl-alt-f1 and check out /var/log/Xorg.log to check for error messages
[02:35] <max____> that doesnt even work, Fry.
[02:36] <max____> Seems to be locked up
[02:36] <Fryguy--> so boot to rescue mode and check it, or reboot from the livecd and mount your hard drive and look at the file
[02:36] <renoboy> so i download iso files--write to cd---reboot--then ubuntu will load off cd only correct?
[02:36] <IdleOne> correct
[02:36] <IdleOne> renoboy, you must burn as iso image and not as data
[02:37] <Dmole> how do I get an audigy2 ir remote to work?
[02:37] <renoboy> would clone DVD be good for burning iso image?
[02:37] <IdleOne> not sure but probably
[02:37] <rand0m> does Ubuntu 2.0 (with coverbling) not work with Ubuntu ?

[02:43] <Leefmc> I already enabled remote desktop, i believe (and set a pass)
[02:43] <Leefmc> I am using the right IP aswell (my DHCP table confirms it)

[02:46] <max____> look at the post from "max", that's mine.
[02:46] <Fryguy--> renoboy: just install the 32-bit version
[02:46] <bazhang> renoboy, the regular 32bit ubuntu works great on that and easier to setup
[02:46] <TruJasper> am i doing something wrong to be unable to run the flash drive on boot?
[02:46] <Fryguy--> max____: need a link
[02:46] <hyperstream> crimsun: and where does it let you choose one sound card over another ? i have three- onboard / sblive / monitor usb webcame+speaker / i want it to use the onboard

[02:51] <Fryguy--> ZaNGaMaN: no idea sorry

[02:52] <Leefmc> Fryguy--: Is there a password in the host name somewhere? like pass@ip ?
[02:52] <max____> Booting ... -crosses fingers-
[02:52] <unsungx> oh ive messed with ubuntu back before it had an animal designation, ubuntu is sex
[02:52] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: like i said. no idea sorry
[02:52] <hyperstream> !pulseaudio
[02:52] <unsungx> and thanks for the welcome
[02:52] <Leefmc> Fryguy--: Roger, thanks anyway :)
[02:52] <max____> nope ... :(
[02:52] <Leefmc> Fryguy--: Ah hah! working now, not sure why it wasn't before
[02:53] <max____> and the store doesnt allow refunds...
[02:53] <Leefmc> Fryguy--: Perhaps my old machines pass was stuck on my client's connection id
[02:53] <renoboy> do i have to use cd everytime i want to use ubuntu?
[02:53] <Fryguy--> max____: refunds for what
[02:53] <Fryguy--> renoboy: no
[02:53] <max____> I get to the low-graphics mode
[02:53] <bazhang> renoboy, not after it is installed no
[02:53] <annie_g> Fryguy--: So after adding - HowTo use ? ?
[02:53] <max____> Refund for the graphics card, I wanna go to another store and get an NVIDIA card.
[02:53] <renoboy> ok and i dont have to program the way it works or anything right.
[02:53] <unsungx> anyone here knowledgeable on Ubuntu problems on an Acer Aspire 5100?
[02:53] <hyperstream> crimsun:  hmm where can i set the default device
[02:54] <bazhang> renoboy, you can change themes and such, but most things should work-->wireless may take a bit of tweaking; you should try the livecd first
[02:54] <crimsun> hyperstream: right-click the device in the Output devices tab
[02:54] <hyperstream> and set to default
[02:54] <bazhang> renoboy, then come back here when you have the cd burned and are in the live cd session
[02:54] <hyperstream> yes i understand that
[02:54] <Fryguy--> annie_g: open up a terminal, navigate to the directory of flac files you want to convert, and type flac2mp3 /path/whereyou/want/the/mp3s/to/go "lame options"   for example:   flac2mp3 /tmp "-V 3"
[02:54] <renoboy> what is that livecd? and how do i go about changing themes?
[02:54] <annie_g> unsungx: Can you be more specific on problems you're asking about?
[02:55] <bazhang> renoboy, the installer cd (regular) has a try before you install option that is the live cd
[02:55] <hyperstream> crimsun: it doesnt actually work. the only way i can make it play thru my onboard is if i change it on the fly. is it not possible to start a application like Audacious and have it use the pulseaudio and use the DEFAULT in the options
[02:55] <annie_g> Fryguy--: I think I can handle that - than'n ya ...  :o)
[02:55] <hyperstream> even tho my input and output are defaulted to my onboard
[02:55] <renoboy> ok so if i try it first then i can see if it works before i install?
[02:55] <bazhang> renoboy, the rest of your questions we can answer when you have that livecd going :)
[02:55] <unsungx> Alright ya, I have an Acer Aspire 5100, and originally I couldn't get my ati drivers installed, but fixed it, now I can't get my wireless card to work
[02:55] <hyperstream> it doesnt use it
[02:55] <annie_g> thank'n ya
[02:55] <Fryguy--> annie_g: the code is somewhat straightforward, so feel free to have a look and modify it to your needs
[02:55] <unsungx> like ubuntu hates me i think
[02:55] <renoboy> ok
[02:55] <hyperstream> it still uses my sblive
[02:55] <bazhang> renoboy, yes
[02:56] <renoboy> ok thank u ill get back to u on how to change themes later
[02:56] <ironfoot> Hi I'm having trouble with ubuntu 8.04 it can't seem to get my updates, is there a way to fine ubuntu 8.04?
[02:56] <bazhang> renoboy, here is a link
[02:57] <crimsun> hyperstream: it does work, actually, but the version of pulseaudio in hardy doesn't contain the fix.
[02:57] <bazhang> !themes > renoboy
[02:57] <annie_g> unsungx: Wireless can be a pain sometimes - you could try a NDIS wrapper - That's using a windows driver to work in linux.
[02:57] <crimsun> hyperstream: that's why I mentioned the gconf bit above
[02:57] <hyperstream> crimsun: i see
[02:57] <unsungx> yeah I read that online, seems to be my only solution ATM
[02:57] <annie_g> Fryguy--: Sweet - will give it shot... Nothing lost Nothing gained - right?
[02:58] <unsungx> alright, now its time for the question im sure everyone has been asked.  I want beryl...
[02:58] <unsungx> how?
[02:58] <craigbass1976> I need gdm to be running in stead of kdm.  I thought I was after apt --configure gdm but I get a message that it's already installed and configured.  How do I switch back?
[02:58] <bazhang> unsungx, it is now compiz-fusion
[02:58] <renoboy> k ty
[02:58] <ironfoot> fine tune ubuntu 8.04?
[02:58] <bazhang> np
[02:58] <hyperstream> crimsun: thanks mate
[02:58] <unsungx> idk what that means lol
[02:58] <crimsun> hyperstream: np

[02:59] <unsungx> ur a hero
[02:59] <unsungx> btw
[02:59] <unsungx> you deserve a cookie, or maybe some pie
[02:59] <annie_g> Fryguy--: Thx for you're help - getting dark here - gotta go do the fireworks things - thanks again - later on.
[03:00] <Fryguy--> craigbass1976: dpkg-reconfigure gdm?
[03:00] <bea1> Newbie question here I would like to add a program to start up with ubuntu but, its not listed on services that can be added to start.
[03:00] <Fryguy--> bea, on boot? or when you login?
[03:01] <craigbass1976> Fryguy--, duh!!! just found it on google.  I was also trying dpkg --reconfigure gdm, and was almost right  I guess
[03:01] <bea1> when I log in
[03:01] <craigbass1976> Fryguy--, thanks though
[03:01] <Fryguy--> bea1: there is a session manager in gnome that you can use
[03:01] <bea1> I just started using ubuntu from windows vista so I'm extremely raw
[03:02] <bea1> when I go to system
[03:02] <bea1> then admin
[03:02] <bea1> then services
[03:02] <Bodsda> !enter | bea1
[03:02] <bea1> the program isn't listed
[03:02] <bea1> lol
[03:02] <Fryguy--> bea1: go to sessions instead
[03:03] <bea1> where is sessions?
[03:03] <Fryguy--> bea1: i dunno, i don't use ubuntu so i don't know the menu structure, should be right near the other menu
[03:03] <Bodsda> bea1, System--> Preferences--> Sessions
[03:04] <bea1> ok found it
[03:04] <Fryguy--> bea1: add what you want to there, make sure you set it up correctly and you should be all set
[03:04] <Leefmc> Question: How would you copy a file from your computer to another via ssh?
[03:05] <bea1> thanks a bunch
[03:05] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: use scp
[03:05] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: or sftp
[03:05] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: scp localfile yourusrename@remotemachine:/remote/location/here
[03:05] <Leefmc> gotcha
[03:06] <leemajors> any tips on a front end for scp?
[03:06] <]RandoM[> leefm: same to download a file via ssh, but swap the params around
[03:06] <]RandoM[> nice to know
[03:06] <Fryguy--> leemajors: you can use nautilus with ssh:// addresses
[03:06] <leemajors> oh cool
[03:06] <]RandoM[> i didn't know that
[03:06] <]RandoM[> cool
[03:09] <andreskru> hello, why when i install a icon pack, the icos of folder do not change?
[03:10] <Leefmc> Fryguy--: Is there a way to log a machine in via ssh?
[03:10] <Anon_474> Anyone here know anything about playing guildwars in ubuntu?
[03:10] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: uh, what?
[03:10] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: that is the whole point of ssh, what are you talking about
[03:11] <Leefmc> Fryguy--: To login in the machines desktop, via ssh
[03:11] <Leefmc> X11
[03:11] <Leefmc> (i believe)
[03:11] <Seven_Six_Two> Leefmc, xdmcp chooser
[03:11] <Leefmc> k
[03:11] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: ssh -X and you can just use X11 forwarding
[03:11] <Leefmc> ty
[03:11] <Leefmc> will do
[03:11] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: if you have xauth installed and set up correctly, ssh -X and if you try to run a gui app it'll just run on your local display
[03:12] <Fryguy--> you might have to export a DISPLAY variable depending on your setup
[03:12] <andreskru> why when i install a icon pack, the icons of folder and else do not change?
[03:12] <Fryguy--> andreskru: did you select the new theme?
[03:13] <ZaNGaMaN> i retrtart now see u soon
[03:14] <andreskru> Fryguy--, i downloaded a theme from gnome look, in .tar.gz then i extract to .icons folder, then System > Preferences > themes, i select the icons, and then change some icons, not all
[03:14] <Fryguy--> andreskru: maybe there is no folder icon in the theme you downloaded?
[03:15] <FAJALOU> ok trying to set up my atheros card, how can i tell if it is working?
[03:15] <andreskru> Fryguy--, there is, im downloaded a lot of packs, the icon exist..
[03:16] <soul_786> Hey guys, if i have laptop with built in wireless, will it automatically detect connection settings and the such or do I have to go through the trouble of doing things like we've had to with usb adapters and the such?
[03:16] <FelixTheCat> FAJALOU: I'd see if you can see wireless networks using Network Manager
[03:16] <Fryguy--> soul_786: depends on the wireless device you have
[03:17] <Fryguy--> soul_786: some work well, some don't
[03:17] <FAJALOU> FelixTheCat: i have two different wireless cards, and one isn't working properly...
[03:17] <alin> fryguy i ahve a problem,i restarted my sistem interface and now the grfic interfaces is dizzy
[03:17] <soul_786> haven't got the laptop yet but it might be either thinkpad t61 or r61
[03:17] <Fryguy--> alin: why are you telling me?
[03:17] <FAJALOU> it's an atheros chipset, but it does not show up in restricted drivers, and so the only way i can get it to work is through ndiswrapper...
[03:17] <FelixTheCat> FAJALOU: Good to know.
[03:17] <ariel_> soul_786, I have an HP DV5200 and wireless works great. Right out of the box great.
[03:18] <Lamentit> Hi, all. Not my post, but I'm having the same problem as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=836409 . Anyone know a fix?
[03:18] <FAJALOU> so FelixTheCat if i use ndiswrapper, will it still use wifi-n
[03:18] <FelixTheCat> FAJALOU: Is this a laptop with a pluggable PCMCIA card?
[03:18] <ZaNGaMaN> fryguy cose i tried to activate my wireless ,and now my grafic interfaces is dizzy
[03:18] <soul_786> ah okay.. itll probably be dual booted with windows xp as ive done with the laptop im using right now.
[03:18] <FAJALOU> no it's a desktop, usb card.
[03:18] <ZaNGaMaN> what happend?
[03:19] <tomd123> Lamentit: are you using 7.10 or 8.04.1?
[03:19] <FelixTheCat> FAJALOU: Not sure.
[03:19] <Leefmc> Fryguy--: Yea, seems X11 Forwarding is not optimal. Any thoughts on how to login desktop remotely, so i can remote desktop?
[03:19] <FelixTheCat> !madwifi | FAJALOU
[03:19] <Lamentit> tomd123: 8.04.
[03:19] <FAJALOU> already tried there
[03:19] <Seven_Six_Two> Leefmc, xdmcp chooser
[03:19] <Leefmc> Seven_Six_Two: Oh right, my bad
[03:19] <yoyoned> Leefmc: vnc
[03:20] <leemajors> Lamentit: i had the same problem, do you have a windows box at your disposal?
[03:20] <Leefmc> yoyoned: You can't login to vnc if there is no desktop, can you?
[03:20] <Billll> alright need some help, I'm trying to boot my CD drive to install Unbunto, but I need to do it by having a bootable floppy disk sicne my CD driver is not installed
[03:20] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: what's wrong with X11 forwarding?
[03:20] <Seven_Six_Two> Leefmc, you have to enable it on server machine (gdm) and select xdmcp chooser at login on client
[03:20] <Leefmc> Fryguy--: Blender doesn't run so great on it ;P
[03:20] <Lamentit> Um. Yeah. Give me . . . 5 minutes, or so.
[03:20] <FelixTheCat> FAJALOU: Beyond that, you'd need to find out what chipset version the card is using and google for it.
[03:20] <FAJALOU> how can i find the chipset version.
[03:21] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: look at xpra or something instead then
[03:21] <widenose> hi
[03:21] <yoyoned> Leefmc: you need ti have a windowmanager installed, but it doesn't have to be running all the time
[03:21] <Fryguy--> xdmcp might be better as well, but probably not
[03:21] <widenose> why ubuntu doesnt work
[03:21] <Fryguy--> widenose: what is the problem
[03:21] <FAJALOU> widenose: much much more specific please
[03:21] <widenose> ok
[03:21] <Leefmc> I mean i dont need much from blender, but enough to choose settings, etc. X11Forwarding cant really do that it seems
[03:21] <soul_786> widenose: what isnt working?
[03:21] <widenose> when i start it
[03:21] <widenose> it hangs badly
[03:21] <andres-riancho> is there any relation between the date that a new package is added to the debian repository, and the date that it is added to the ubuntu repository?
[03:21] <Leefmc> lagging like a mofo, so much so that windows wont move, etc.
[03:21] <akuma55> anybody here use ubuntu server
[03:21] <tomd123> Lamentit: do you have ntfs-3g and ntfs-config?
[03:21] <Fryguy--> andres-riancho: no
[03:21] <leemajors> Lamentit: it's cool, if you do have windows, just boot it up and make sure you can access the external you're having problems with. then use the safely add/remove hardware wizard to properly shut the external drive down, and then shut the computer down completely.
[03:22] <BioTeck> hello
[03:22] <widenose> Hello
[03:22] <FelixTheCat> FAJALOU: One of two ways I can think of, either lspci or tail -f /var/log/messages and re-plug USB.
[03:22] <soul_786> widenose: by hang what do you mean? what is on the screen?
[03:22] <leemajors> Lamentit: the drive should then be available for use in 8.04
[03:22] <Pici> akuma55: many people do, best to just ask your actual question.
[03:22] <andres-riancho> Fryguy--: so, if I want a package that is in debian, to be introduced into the ubuntu repo; I should talk to...
[03:22] <tehjord> Hey geys, I installed unbuntu x64 on my usb external hd, everything installed fine but when ubuntu starts to load, I get an ''error 2'' message, any idea what wrong ?
[03:22] <widenose> there are commmand lines on the screen
[03:22] <widenose> many terminal commands
[03:22] <Fryguy--> widenose: where does it hang? and how does it hang "badly" is there a good hang?  have you taken a look in /var/log for error messages?
[03:22] <Fryguy--> andres-riancho: no idea
[03:23] <akuma55> im tryinf to setup a file server can some one help me with that
[03:23] <Lamentit> Okay. I'll try that. Brb.
[03:23] <tomd123> Lamentit: did you try mounting it manually through the terminal?
[03:23] <Fryguy--> !ask | akuma55
[03:23] <widenose> Fryguy--: it hangs when it start eth0
[03:23] <Lamentit> No, I didn't.
[03:23] <Lamentit> I'm not sure how to do that.
[03:23] <Billll> alright need some help, I'm trying to boot my CD drive to install Unbunto, but I need to do it by having a bootable floppy disk sicne my CD driver is not installed
[03:23] <Fryguy--> widenose: is the machine still connected to your network
[03:23] <yoyoned> widenose: is it waiting for dhcp
[03:23] <BioTeck> oh..lol
[03:24] <soul_786> I'd like to know how too, how can i set up a server where anyone can access files if they have a login over the internet?
[03:24] <theshelter> anyone know the terminal command to kill panels and then restart them?
[03:24] <bazhang> !install > Billll
[03:24] <Fryguy--> soul_786: install an ftp server, proftpd is recommended
[03:24] <widenose> yoyoned what?
[03:24] <Fryguy--> !resetpanels  | theshelter
[03:24] <yoyoned> theshelter: skill gnome-panel
[03:24] <widenose> Fryguy--: OK i checked the modem is ON
[03:25] <Seven_Six_Two> akuma55, what is the server for? who is it for? where is it to be accessed from?
[03:25] <theshelter> thank you kind sir
[03:25] <Leefmc> Question: To shut down a computer gently (ie, not pulling plug) via ssh, "shutdown" is correct right? Is -h needed? The --help is a bit odd with this: "-h      halt or power off after shutdown" isn't shutting down synonymous with power off?
[03:25] <akuma55> i already installed instlled ubuntu server and trying to make it a file server do any of you know how in can do that
[03:25] <unop> theshelter, actually. killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel &
[03:25] <Fryguy--> widenose: disconnect your internet connection from that computer and reboot, see what happens
[03:25] <akuma55> s<Seven_Six_Two> me
[03:25] <FelixTheCat> Leefmc: 'shutdown -h now'
[03:25] <bloodrock> akuma55, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html
[03:25] <tomd123> Leefmc: "sudo shutdown -h now" should work
[03:25] <Seven_Six_Two> Leefmc, not when you want to reboot
[03:25] <unop> Leefmc, -h requires a time argument
[03:26] <BioTeck> hello.. anyone using ubuntu on ibook?
[03:26] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: yes you need h
[03:26] <Leefmc> Seven_Six_Two: Yea but.. -r reboots.. so what does "shutdown now" give you..?
[03:26] <soul_786> by setting up an ftp server, is that set up on say the computer i have the files on? and then it can be accessed with passwords over the internet using the ftp address?
[03:26] <FelixTheCat> Leefmc: probably an error message. You need 'shutdown -h now'
[03:26] <Leefmc> haha, k
[03:26] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: it varies from *nix to *nix, some reboot, some do non-acpi halt, some turn off, it varies, use -h
[03:26] <Seven_Six_Two> akuma55, you're the only akuma55 here, and you asked about setting up a file server
[03:26] <tomd123> Leefmc: shutdown now doesn't work since -h accepts a time parameter...
[03:26] <Fryguy--> akuma55: install an ftp server, proftpd is recommended
[03:27] <Killer--Tux> hello you all
[03:27] <Leefmc> tomd123: Well if you use just "shutdown" it tells you to give it a time
[03:27] <theshelter> Now that that is fixed....anyone know why my bottom panel might (seemingly) set itself underneath my top panel and not be able to be moved back to the bottom?
[03:27] <akuma55> Fryguy--> ho do i do that
[03:27] <tomd123> Leefmc: just do what everyone told you to
[03:27] <Fryguy--> akuma55: apt-get install proftpd
[03:27] <Killer--Tux> hey guys do i have to have a hdd for linux to boot from a live cd
[03:27] <Fryguy--> akuma55: and then hit up google for some results on how to configure it for your needs
[03:27] <Seven_Six_Two> Fryguy--, maybe, but akuma55 didn't say it's to be used from the internet
[03:28] <Leefmc> tomd123: I'm just learning man, relax :). In reality though, no one was quite sure what would happen without -h heh
[03:28] <Killer--Tux> what going on fryguy
[03:28] <Fryguy--> Seven_Six_Two: so? ftp is a valid option for lan installs as well
[03:28] <Fryguy--> Killer--Tux: bored
[03:28] <tomd123> Leefmc: try it and get back to me :)
[03:28] <Killer--Tux> can you help me out with this question
[03:28] <Killer--Tux> lol
[03:28] <Killer--Tux> me 2
[03:28] <Fryguy--> Killer--Tux: not until you ask it
[03:28] <Seven_Six_Two> Fryguy--, yes, but not necessarily the best, depending on what it's for
[03:28] <Leefmc> tomd123: I will, with my other machine. Not my $4,000 Mac Pro :p
[03:28] <yoyoned> Killer--Tux: no, you can install it on the same drive, but it needs to be in a seperate partition
[03:28] <widenose> ok!! i started eth0 it took like 2 days to start but
[03:28] <Killer--Tux> do u need a hdd in order to run a liver cd  ?!?
[03:28] <widenose> suddenly it start
[03:29] <swirv> I have a problem with k3b - I get 'cdrecord has no permission to open device'
[03:29] <yoyoned> Killer--Tux: no
[03:29] <Fryguy--> widenose: ubuntu probably got your network configuration wrong.  are you on dsl?
[03:29] <widenose> no
[03:29] <IdleOne> Killer--Tux, no
[03:29] <widenose> cable
[03:29] <Killer--Tux> so u can run the cd without the hdd
[03:29] <Killer--Tux> ?!?
[03:29] <IdleOne> Killer--Tux, it runs in ram only
[03:29] <Seven_Six_Two> Killer--Tux, yes. it uses the cd and memory
[03:29] <Fryguy--> widenose: is the computer connected directly to the modem, or to a router?
[03:29] <IdleOne> Killer--Tux, the more ram the better the performance
[03:29] <ringer> when using my laptop with ubuntu the mousepad clicks on random things, how can i fix this?
[03:29] <Killer--Tux> becuse i can't get it to run
[03:30] <IdleOne> ringer, you have a touchpad?
[03:30] <B|ackPanther> Please,whenever i close my music player,and try to start it again it does not play,any help would be appreciated.
[03:30] <FAJALOU> Killer--Tux:  all you need is ram, because the cd loads directly onto the ram, but to install you need a hdd.
[03:30] <Killer--Tux> yes that was what i was thinking but it gives me a error
[03:30] <tomd123> Leefmc: shutdown -P now powers your computer off also, -h just halts it or powered off depending on the system, you most likely want powered off soo....
[03:30] <Seven_Six_Two> Killer--Tux, oh yes. the error...
[03:30] <Rhorse> ringer, I've had that problem ever since I started with Ubuntu.  Never solved it. It's rare enuf I can live with it and I do
[03:30] <widenose> Fryguy--: it's connected to modem directly. I checked again to be sure about it
[03:30] <ringer> IdleOne, yes
[03:31] <IdleOne> !touchpad | ringer
[03:31] <Rhorse> ringer, Had it on two different machines and diff mouses.
[03:31] <gsevil> I messed up with dpkg-reconfigure xserver, and now after grub it said "invalid screen mode, press enter to search for more, space to continue" after 30 seconds it boot normally. how do i fix it
[03:31] <Seven_Six_Two> widenose, pppoe or dhcp?
[03:31] <Leefmc> tomd123: Thats what i dont quite understand though, there is a state where a machine can be "on" but "shutdown"? What the heck is running that it is considered "on"?
[03:31] <ringer> Rhorse, damn lol.  ive had ubuntu for some time now, but alswys used my usb mouse
[03:31] <Fryguy--> widenose: now that the systsem is booted,  can you paste the results of ifconfig -a to www.pastebin.com plz
[03:31] <Killer--Tux> it a laptop and the hdd makes a wired noise like if it was dropped
[03:31] <Seven_Six_Two> Leefmc, the network card?
[03:31] <Killer--Tux> so am trying to run a live cd but that dosent work :(
[03:31] <nickrud> Rhorse, ringer for me, I set up gsynaptics and reduced the sensitivity of the pad, stopped having those phantom clicks
[03:31] <ringer> IdleOne, thanks ill take a look
[03:31] <BioTeck> that is the starwars sound.. lol
[03:31] <Fryguy--> gsevil: go to /etc/X11 and restore one of the older xorg.conf files that is there (ubuntu makes a backup whenever you use dpkg-reconfigure
[03:32] <bloodrock> Killer--Tux, what error do you get
[03:32] <widenose> Fryguys--- OK I copy my terminal stuff to http://www.pasteplace.net/premiumusr/ballsac/ubuntulog.html
[03:32] <Rhorse> nickrud, hmm, I'll have to look into it
[03:32] <IdleOne> nickrud, I just turn touchpad off using gsynaptics also
[03:33] <nalioth> Fryguy--: please avoid that paste site
[03:33] <Fryguy--> nalioth: yah i already clicked on it
[03:33] <tomd123> Leefmc: dunno, just do -P then, I also never understood why there is a halt, maybe historical purposes?? :/
[03:33] <renoboy> i downloaded i386 and i extracted it to my desktop now how do i write it to a cd as an iso image?
[03:33] <gsevil> ﻿Fryguy-- i dont think it's xorg.conf problem, it is the console before loading xorg.
[03:33]  * IdleOne always reads the link before clicking it.
[03:33] <yoyoned> tomd123: I use halt -p a lot
[03:33] <tomd123> renoboy: don't extract the iso
[03:33] <frosty> i just dropped in here to show my support for the new ibex human theme...
[03:33] <frosty> it's sweet.
[03:34] <binskipy2u> hey guys.. anyone have a "tweaking guide"  for 64bit ubuntu 8.04
[03:34] <nickrud> IdleOne, did that for a while, then tried with the tapping off. That works well too. But eventually I just worked out a decent sensitivity
[03:34] <renoboy> i extracted the file that i downloaded from ubuntu.com
[03:34] <frosty> i'm liking the light on dark....
[03:34] <Leefmc> tomd123: No idea. Im not insanely technical, had an a+ at one time (ages ago, i've forgotten most of it), but i never remember talk of this semi-computer-afterlife thing heh
[03:34] <Killer--Tux> bloodrock
[03:34] <frosty> it's easier on my eyes.
[03:34] <Killer--Tux> give me a sec
[03:34] <tomd123> renoboy: find a program that burns isos and use it..
[03:34] <Seven_Six_Two> binskipy2u, what do you want to tweak?
[03:34] <IdleOne> nickrud, I very very rarely ever use the touchpad so having it off works well for me
[03:34] <binskipy2u> just for an awesome setup
[03:34] <renoboy> would clone DVD work?
 thanx
[03:34] <binskipy2u> stuff like that
[03:34] <tomd123> renoboy: if your on windows, google burnimg
[03:35] <IdleOne> !iso
[03:35] <soul_786> renoboy: don't extract... take the iso image into a program like powerISO free download and it makes a bootable version straight from the iso image
[03:35] <tomd123> renoboy: use this if your on windows, it's free and simple http://www.imgburn.com/
[03:35] <Seven_Six_Two> binskipy2u, that's subjective. you don't need additional software to make config changes, you just have to know what you want to change
[03:35] <IdleOne> !burning > renoboy
[03:35] <binskipy2u> adding all multimedia stuff
[03:35] <binskipy2u> codecs and such
[03:36] <Seven_Six_Two> binskipy2u, they should be in synaptic. which codecs?
[03:36] <Lamentit> leemajors: Thank you! That worked completely! Thank you too, tomd123, for your help.
[03:36] <renoboy> ok if i use this powerISO can i use imgburn?
[03:36] <Hayley> Omg, ok
[03:36] <binskipy2u> you know adding multimedia support
[03:36] <soul_786> use either or.. powerISO is just another piece of software
[03:37] <binskipy2u> for websites, java, mp3, audio etc etc
[03:37] <Fryguy--> binskipy2u: multimedia support is added via various codecs, which ones do you need
[03:37] <Seven_Six_Two> binskipy2u, there is already multimedia support. what do you want to do specifically??
[03:37] <FelixTheCat> Ugh! This bugs me. There is an apt command to install a server role after Ubuntu/Ubuntu server has been installed.
[03:37] <renoboy> ok so imgburn will burn it to the cd in a bootable version right
[03:37] <Fryguy--> renoboy: yes
[03:37] <soul_786> renoboy: yes
[03:37] <binskipy2u> thought you had to add repos or something
[03:37] <Hayley> My dual boot system is part SATA, IDE, and my Linux is on IDE but Grub keeps giving me error 17. The boot loader is on my IDE as well. Help?
[03:37] <bazhang> renoboy, sure
[03:37] <Fryguy--> binskipy2u: depending on what you need, you might
[03:37] <adude> i installed virtual-box and now i don't have any sound
[03:38] <renoboy> ok thank u so is it ok that i extracted the download onto my desktop?
[03:38] <binskipy2u> you use medibuntu
[03:38] <binskipy2u> ?
[03:38] <Seven_Six_Two> binskipy2u, maybe, but not for the common stuff
[03:38] <binskipy2u> is there others
[03:38] <binskipy2u> or is that all you need for a complete system
[03:38] <bazhang> renoboy, dont extract, just burn iso as image file (not data)
[03:38] <Fryguy--> Hayley: if possible, remove all hard drives of the other interface when installing ubuntu.  Grub can sometimes get confused when installing and accidentally put itself on the wrong drive
[03:38] <Seven_Six_Two> binskipy2u, again, "complete" is subjective, and depends on your needs
[03:38] <widenose> my ubuntu work!?!!!1111
[03:38] <soul_786> u need to use hte iso renoboy... the files you extracted can be deleted... just keep hte '.iso' file
[03:38] <widenose> <3 Fryguy--
[03:38] <binskipy2u> thanks
[03:39] <Hayley> So would you suggest I reinstall, Fryguy--?
[03:39] <bullgard4> My dmesg start with " Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset". What is meant by 'cgroup'?
[03:39] <widenose> my ubuntu work becuz of fryguy. pls. every1 thank Fryguy-- for beeing halpful
[03:39] <widenose> my ubuntu work becuz of fryguy. pls. every1 thank Fryguy-- for beeing halpful
[03:39] <Hayley> !spam widenose
[03:39] <Hayley> Gr
[03:39] <Hayley> Oh well
[03:39] <Fryguy--> Hayley: I would, if possible.  It might be the easiest solution.  It'll probably take about the same amount of time to troubleshoot as to just reinstall with all drives of the other interface removed (you can put them back after you've installed)
[03:39] <nickrud> !helpersnack | Fryguy--
[03:40] <Hayley> Fryguy--: Thx! =]
[03:40] <ventusignis> Can incorrect kernel boot options (from grub) force ubuntu into safe graphics mode?
[03:40] <crimsun> bullgard4: control group.
[03:40] <connor> How do I format a hard drive in ubuntu?
[03:40] <Fryguy--> connor: mkfs
[03:40] <bullgard4> crimsun: Thank you.
[03:40] <connor> explain?
[03:40] <Seven_Six_Two> ventusignis, more likely an update that's over written your xorg.conf
[03:40] <Fryguy--> connor: mkfs is the command used to make a filesystem on a partition
[03:40] <bazhang> !gparted | connor
[03:40] <ventusignis> You could use gparted.
[03:41] <ventusignis> as a frontend of sorts
[03:41] <bullgard4> connor: It depends on the filesystem that you are going to install on your partition.
[03:41] <John1> Is there a correct way to make the ISO file work and not become error 'proned'?
[03:41] <leemajors> ok, for the noobs among us who clicked on that link earlier, how do you force quit an app?
[03:41] <bazhang> !md5 | John1
[03:41] <tomd123> John1: what do you mean by error prone?
[03:42] <soul_786> John1: most of the time there is no error but its a way to check and not screw up installation
[03:42] <connor> bullgard4: I'm formatting both of my internal hard drives so I can just have a simple ubuntu/vista dual boot
[03:42] <FelixTheCat> Found it! sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[03:42] <connor> installing xp was not a good idea
[03:42] <IdleOne> leemajors, click the X
[03:42] <Marfi> ....did i read it right? ubuntu 8.04.1?
[03:42] <nalioth> leemajors: open a terminal > type "xkill" and then click the berzerk app window
[03:42] <soul_786> out of four iso downloads i havent have one problem
[03:42] <bazhang> Marfi, yes
[03:42] <leemajors> lol IdleOne you obviously didn't click the link
[03:42] <IdleOne> leemajors, it should bring up a not repsonding window and ask to force quit
[03:42] <John1> Well, Somehow ImgBurn can create errors when I try to burn the ISO file to a CD.
[03:42] <Marfi> bazhang, may i ask....since WHEN did they make a (LTS).1?
[03:42] <nalioth> IdleOne: not with the link he clicked
[03:42] <IdleOne> leemajors, like I said I read links before clicking :) /me learned the hardway
[03:43] <bazhang> Marfi, responding to the ssl problem amongst others
[03:43] <tomd123> Marfi: they came out with an updated 8.04 release. basically includes updated packages, thats it
[03:43] <IdleOne> nalioth, now I am curious lol
[03:43] <Pici> Marfi: 6.06 also had a .1 release...
[03:43] <nalioth> IdleOne: PM ?
[03:43] <Marfi> aight....i looked and was like....what the heck?
[03:43] <leemajors> IdleOne: yeah, looked harmless enough
[03:43] <Marfi> Pici, i didn't know that
[03:43] <leemajors> there was a time when firefox wasn't vulnerable to crap like that :|
[03:43] <Marfi> Pici, what was that one for, for my curiosity?
[03:43] <tomd123> Marfi: since they used a rc in their lts release :)
[03:43] <IdleOne> nalioth, always
[03:43] <nalioth> leemajors: ALL browsers are subseptible to this to some extent
[03:44] <Fryguy--> Marfi: if came out yesterday/today
[03:44] <soul_786> I dont like firefox 3 beta but im too lazy to downgrade back to FF2 lol
[03:44] <John1> Would anyone have a correct way to burn the ISO file to a CD?
[03:44] <Fryguy--> soul_786: firefox3 is out of beta and has been for a couple of weeks
[03:44] <leemajors> nalioth: yep, true enough
[03:44] <Marfi> tomd123, i have never seen them do that. maybe its cause im slightly intoxicated....but thats just me
[03:44] <Pici> Marfi: This point release wasnt specifically for the ssl vulnerability, it has been on the release schedule since the beginning.
[03:44] <FelixTheCat> For anyone who cares, 'tasksel' will give you a curses menu and allow you to install a "role" to your server.
[03:44] <Fryguy--> John1: imgburn in windows work
[03:44] <nalioth> John1: at 4x or less ( check your md5s )
[03:44] <Pici> Marfi: Its because the release is an LTS
[03:44] <connor> Ok how do I format my hard drives with gparted?
[03:44] <Marfi> Pici, but did it come through as a normal update?
[03:44] <adude> when i try to open the volume control i get this error.  (No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.)
[03:45] <Fryguy--> connor: gparted is a pretty straightforward gui app.  Do you have a specific question abou tit?
[03:45] <leemajors> Lamentit: how did you get on?
[03:45] <connor> I want both my internal hard drives formatted
[03:45] <John1> What is the hash is not correct?
[03:45] <Pici> Marfi: Its not a new release. Its just all the updates rolled into a new ISO.
[03:45] <soul_786> Fryguy: really? the update manager must have updated me then but theres certain things that I'm not liking still too much, maybe they decided not to change some things? like double clicking the address to highlight instead of single  click
[03:45] <bazhang> John1, then re-dl the iso
[03:45] <nalioth> John1: you can use the torrent to 'fix it' w/o redownloading the whole thing
[03:46] <John1> Alrighty thennnnnn
[03:46] <connor> How do I format using gparted?
[03:46] <tomd123> John1: don't re-dl the iso, leave it, just use torrent to fix it.. it will check the parts which are corrupt and fix it
[03:46] <Lamentit> leemajors: I used the safely remove hardware wizard. And it just started right up.
[03:46] <leemajors> Lamentit: all working now?
[03:46] <bazhang> if its a torrent yes
[03:46] <John1> Ah ok.
[03:46] <IntoxikCat> -Hi to all.
[03:46] <FelixTheCat> connor: First, you cannot be booted into the two drives you want formatted. Run a live cd with gparted and make sure all partitions are unmounted.
[03:46] <tomd123> bazhang: you can also add it as a torrent, it doesn't have to be a torrent
[03:47] <connor> Oh
[03:47] <John1> Just need to realize, Not all torrents are 'safe'
[03:47] <Lamentit> leemajors: Yup. Thanks!
[03:47] <John1> =\
[03:47] <leemajors> Lamentit: awesome, np :)
[03:47] <bullgard4> connor: You did not describe your situation well enough. If you are going to install Ubuntu then the Ubuntu CD will usually format your Ubuntu partitions for you automatically. Otherwise you may consider using the program cfdisk.
[03:47] <ventusignis> Can't you unmount it from in gparted?
[03:47] <tehjord> Hey geys, I installed unbuntu x64 on my usb external hd, everything installed fine but when ubuntu starts to load, I get an ''error 2'' message, any idea what wrong ?
[03:47] <FelixTheCat> connor: Next, figure if you want to keep the current partitions or want to completely blow them away.
[03:47] <tomd123> John1: the torrents provided on ubuntu's main website are "safe" :)
[03:47] <connor> bullgard4: I'm going to format both my internal hard drives, and just have 1 for my ubuntu/vista dual boot
[03:47] <IntoxikCat> Anybody know how repair an touchpad of Dell XPS M1530? With Ubuntu Hardy and BIOS 08.
[03:47] <FelixTheCat> connor: If you simply want to keep the partitions, there should be an option when you right-click each partition to format it.
[03:47] <John1> I know. Lol
[03:48] <ventusignis> John1, unless your ISP bans bittorrent alltogether
[03:48] <ventusignis> I weep for those customers.
[03:48] <Sinister> how can i make a avi play in a regular dvd player ?
[03:48] <John1> Which version of ImgBurn should be used for the ISO?
[03:48] <tomd123> John1: the latest
[03:48] <John1> Not being stupid, Just being safe
[03:48] <Fryguy--> John1: i use 2.4.1.0
[03:48] <bullgard4> connor: Then use cfdisk to format your partitions.
[03:48] <renoboy> can any one give me exact file name of ISO file to burn?
[03:48] <connor> So if I boot a gparted livecd, I can just select each hard drive and format the entire thing?
[03:48] <Fryguy--> connor: yes
[03:48] <connor> I will do that
[03:49] <bazhang> connor, this is for dual boot?
[03:49] <John1> The only reason Im asking is I wish to try Ubuntu and not have to deal with Windows anymore.
[03:49] <theshelter> anyone know real quick where you set double click to "roll" the active window...I did it before and forgot where it was...
[03:49] <FelixTheCat> connor: yes. If there are already partitions and you don't want them, you'll want to delete each one. Just be sure that's what you want - you WILL lose all data.
[03:49] <connor> bazhang: yes
[03:49] <unsungx> hello again, i went over to the compiz what not channel and go no help, anyone versed with knowledge on the whole 3d cube desktop business care to open a private channel with me?
[03:49] <connor> I'm going to format both so I can have fresh installs of both
[03:49] <bazhang> connor, then install windows first
[03:49] <Fryguy--> John1: so then burn the ubuntu iso, put it in the drive, and install it
[03:50] <connor> bazhang: I am
[03:50] <Lamentit> Hmmm. How do I find out the default charset for my ubuntu box?
[03:50] <ventusignis> As I asked earlier, can incorrect kernel boot options (from grub) cause Ubuntu to boot into safe graphics mode?
[03:50] <FelixTheCat> connor: One other thing, will you install one OS per drive?
[03:50] <connor> felixthecat: no
[03:50] <renoboy> can anyone give me the exact name of the ISO file that i need to burn?
[03:50] <Fryguy--> ventusignis: if you messed with them, yes
[03:50] <IdleOne> ventusignis, sounds like a plausible occurence
[03:50] <John1> I shall do so my friendly neighborhood geek.
[03:50] <FelixTheCat> connor: Are you thinking about having some kind of RAID between the two drives for each OS?
[03:51] <ventusignis> I think it may be the vga=xxx option.
[03:51] <connor> felixthecat: my computer came with two internal hard drives
[03:51] <Fryguy--> renoboy: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download  just visit this page, select a location from the dropdown and hit "start download"
[03:51] <Seracht> hi
[03:51] <Seracht> I currently have windows installed and working fine...I want to install ubuntu, in the setup what should I do to my current partition
[03:51] <IdleOne> renoboy, ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[03:51] <IntoxikCat> -Agggrrr, my touchpad!.
[03:52] <Seracht> can someone link me a tutorial or guide me through it so I don't lose my windows
[03:52] <bullgard4> My dmesg start with " Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset". What is a 'control group subsystem cpu set'?
[03:52] <renoboy> ok cool that the one i burned so i should be set to go?
[03:52] <tech0007> !dualboot | Seracht:
[03:52] <Seracht> thanks
[03:52] <_rafa_> can someone help me with some driver stuff?
[03:52] <FelixTheCat> connor: Are they on a RAID card? Otherwise, it's easiest to install Windows on the first drive and Linux on the 2nd.
[03:52] <connor> felixthecat: i planned on installing windows first
[03:52] <guangdawangluo> hello, folks
[03:52] <soul_786> renoboy: it shuld be as long as you used one of those programs and burned the iso file
[03:52] <connor> whats a RAID card? I am pretty sure they are both sata drives
[03:53] <ventusignis> I will try changing it to vga=868 and see what happens then.
[03:53] <Killer--Tux> thanks guys !!!
[03:53] <geom> con-man, with LBA32 support it doesnt matter
[03:53] <FelixTheCat> connor: I understand, but you said you are NOT installing one OS per drive.
[03:53] <geom> which goes firsy
[03:53] <geom> first*
[03:53] <renoboy> yea i used clone dvd it has an ISO burning feature/
[03:53] <Fryguy--> ventusignis: vga= options in grub don't affect the graphics mode of ubuntu at all. that's just console resolution
[03:53] <connor> felixthecat: no I am not
[03:53] <connor> felixthecat: i am just going to use the second drive for data storage
[03:54] <connor> Ok I'm going to boot the gparted cd now
[03:54] <soul_786> renoboy: then you should be set to go, make sure it boots from the cd drive and itll guide u through either the LiveCD feature or a direct install
[03:54] <_rafa_> can someone please help me with my tablet?
[03:54] <tehjord> Hey geys, I installed unbuntu x64 on my usb external hd, everything installed fine but when ubuntu starts to load, I get an ''error 2'' message, any idea what wrong ?
[03:54] <ventusignis> Fryguy--,I HAVE been having issues with the tty things anyways (CTRL+ALT+F(1,2,3,4)) gets me a blinking cursor
[03:54] <IdleOne> renoboy, pop in the cd and reboot
[03:55] <renoboy> so i should try it first to see if it works before i install right?
[03:55] <Fryguy--> ventusignis: no login prompt?
[03:55] <Seracht> how much space should I keep for ubuntu
[03:55] <Seracht> just want to experience and try it out
[03:55] <Seracht> windows is still primary
[03:55] <IdleOne> renoboy, yes
[03:55] <bazhang> renoboy, yes, and set in bios to look for cd first
[03:55] <pixelmonkey> I'm trying to use uswsusp on hardy, and I notice with s2both, my computer shuts down rather than suspending-to-ram.  Anyone else see this behavior?
[03:55] <soul_786> renoboy: yes that would be safer,
[03:55] <Fryguy--> Seracht: 10gb or so should be plenty, and then you need some space for a swap partition
[03:55] <Seracht> swap partition
[03:55] <Seracht> what do i need to swap
[03:55] <geom> Seracht, 5g 250mb for swap
[03:55] <bazhang> 1.5 ram Seracht
[03:56] <Seracht> do you mean like a page file?
[03:56] <ventusignis> no prompt.  Just blinking underscore.
[03:56] <Fryguy--> Seracht: yes
[03:56] <Seracht> ok
[03:56] <Seracht> wierd
[03:56] <Seracht> why isn't it on the same partition
[03:56] <Fryguy--> Seracht: it lives on a separate partition on linux systems
[03:56] <Seracht> is it more efficient if the page file exists on another?
[03:56] <geom> Oo
[03:56] <Fryguy--> Seracht: yes
[03:56] <Seracht> Oh
[03:56] <tech0007> ventusignis: whats ur version of ubuntu? had that before w/ gutsy.
[03:56] <Seracht> interesting, thank you

[03:56] <ubunubi> anyone know a good place to find a good select of AWM (avant window manager) applets?
[03:56] <ubunubi> selection*
[03:56] <ventusignis> had issues upgrading to hardy, reinstalled gutsy
[03:56] <tehjord> Hey geys, I installed unbuntu x64 on my usb external hd, everything installed fine but when ubuntu starts to load, I get an ''error 2'' message, any idea what wrong ?

[04:06] <bloodrock> Killer--Tux, does the livecd stops runner at that error
[04:06] <Fryguy--> Killer--Tux: ...
[04:06] <ubunubi> fryguy:: just incase anyone else you help runs by the issue, preferred apps has to be set to firefox-2 %s, not %u like the default :(( %s passes along the correct url apparently
[04:06] <Bax> I'm trying to get a 250G WD Passport with an ntfs format to be recognized by my ubuntu fiesty OS.  So far I've had absolutely no luck, I can't even find it in the terminal
[04:06] <Killer--Tux> no it try to run
[04:06] <Billll> tom: I do not have CD drive installed
[04:06] <Billll> installnig linux onto a brick I got from a university
[04:06] <Killer--Tux> bloodrock :  it trys to run agine and the same error
[04:07] <Billll> I had to bypass Bio passwords
[04:07] <happypinguin> hello all
[04:07] <Seracht> guys
[04:07] <Seracht> when installing ubuntu how do I make it use unallocated space?
[04:07] <Seracht> is it  - use the largest continuous free space?
[04:07] <bazhang> Seracht, yes
[04:07] <IdleOne> Seracht, yes
[04:07] <Fryguy--> Seracht: sure
[04:07] <Killer--Tux> bloodrock : do u know of any program to check the health of the hdd
[04:07] <happypinguin> I just deleted the glfrx driver by mistake. which package provides it?
[04:07] <Billll> been mounteverest to try to get unbuntu on installe don this brick
[04:07] <tomd123> Billll: if it's that old try a lighter distro, no offense to ubuntu, maybe xubuntu :)
[04:07] <happypinguin> I mean module
[04:08] <IdleOne> Fryguy--, uses sure instead of yes. that way it does not make the answer definite.
[04:08] <IdleOne> Fryguy--, :)
[04:08] <Billll> tom: it's not that odl it is pen 3, 30 gigs drive
[04:08] <Seracht> thanks
[04:08] <Billll> 1 stick of ram
[04:08] <Seracht> i can't aford to lose my vista stuf
[04:08] <Fryguy--> IdleOne: i have no idea what i'm doing, so I try not to answer in complete affirmatives
[04:08] <Billll> should be able to handle it
[04:08] <tomd123> Billll: what does 1 stick equal?
[04:08] <Fryguy--> Seracht: so make a backup of it
[04:08] <bloodrock> Killer--Tux, at the grub menu b4 you select to run cd hit the f6 key and useing then space key select acpi=off and then noacpi see if that helps
[04:08] <IdleOne> Fryguy--, you know more then you think. :)
[04:08] <happypinguin> my /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko is gone. which package provides it?
[04:08] <Billll> tom 128
[04:08] <Fryguy--> IdleOne: I don't think so
[04:09] <Killer--Tux> bloodrock thanks
[04:09] <Billll> it's  auniversity computer
[04:09] <IdleOne> Fryguy--, knowing that you don't know is more then most people are willing to admit to themself. you know where to find the answers and that right there means you know more then you think :)
[04:10] <Billll> Tom: it had a bio password I'm guessing because it was connected to a network the network or main comupter would automatically put bio password in and nobody even knew it had a biopass on it =P
[04:10] <unsungx> ok ya, so I crashed seconds after asking my first question, can anyone with knowledge on the 3d desktop business open a private messge with me?
[04:10] <Fryguy--> grr, i have to recompile my freebsd kernel, on a headless machine.  This is going to be fun :(
[04:10] <Billll> had to take abttery out of there, then win 98 had problem from downlaoding to installing
[04:10] <Billll> uuninstalled win 98
[04:10] <bazhang> Billll, this is without the uni's permission then?
[04:11] <Fryguy--> IdleOne: i've been using linux for way too long to know as little as I do about it
[04:11] <Billll> baz: it's a old computer they gave it away
[04:11] <leemajors> anyone who knows and loves textmate on the mac -- what's your favorite gnome app in comparison?
[04:11] <happypinguin> to which package does /lib/modules/<version>/volatile belongs to?
[04:11] <Fryguy--> leemajors: vim has a variety of plugins available that mimic the functionality of textmate, as does emacs
[04:11] <Billll> bio pass is constantly changing apprently everyweek
[04:11] <IdleOne> Billll, so disable that
[04:12] <Billll> did that already
[04:12] <Billll> lol
[04:12] <leemajors> Fryguy--: does vim have a front end?
[04:12] <IdleOne> well done
[04:12] <adude> how do you configure your sound card?
[04:12] <Fryguy--> leemajors: uh, it's a text editor.. there is no back-end, what do you mean
[04:12] <Billll> Idle: i'm trynig to install unbuntu without CD drive through bootable floppy to boto Cd
[04:12] <leemajors> Fryguy--: well, sorry, as opposed to using it from the shell
[04:12] <Fryguy--> leemajors: there's gvim
[04:13] <IdleOne> !install > Billll have you checked out the following link
[04:13] <Billll> idle: yes
[04:13] <Fryguy--> Billll: check this out http://www.wikihow.com/Break-a-BIOS-Password
[04:13] <Billll> working on it
[04:13] <bullgard4> In 'CFS scheduler' does CFS stand for 'Common Functional Specification'?
[04:13] <Billll> sob
[04:13] <Billll> lol
[04:13] <legend2440> happypinguin: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic
[04:13] <bazhang> !enter > Billll
[04:13] <Billll> should fo sent me that link but it wouldn't of matter
[04:14] <Billll> ubottu I got that already
[04:14] <happypinguin> legend2440, thanks.. but I do a apt-get install --reinstall  linux-restricted-modules   and the fglrx.ko module is still missing
[04:14] <Billll> I'm just complaing mainly =P
[04:14] <Billll> moo
[04:15] <IdleOne> Billll, seriously chill on the enter key or you will end up banned
[04:15] <Fryguy--> Billll: or this http://transparentsmoke.com/?p=60
[04:15] <Billll> hey I alreayd broke password which is more like a physical exploit
[04:15] <Billll> took battery out let it stand 15mins place battyer back in
[04:15] <bazhang> Billll, please chat elsewhere.
[04:15] <ghee> hi all, i get a "frame sync error" when trying to open an .avi with gmplayer.  any ideas how to fix that?
[04:15] <Billll> bazhang: I'm not chatting
[04:15] <Billll> =P
[04:16] <Fryguy--> ghee: try a different media player, like mplayer
[04:16] <bullgard4> Billll: stop it.
[04:16] <jamiejackson> how do i temporarily disable automounting (an external drive) so i can manually mount it read-only?
[04:16] <Fryguy--> jamiejackson: kill hal
[04:16] <Dr_willis> jamiejackson,   You could manually unmount it . then remount it.
[04:16] <CWii> Fryguy--, that's not helpful
[04:16] <tech0007> Fryguy--: no thats not the right way
[04:17] <titan> hey, ok stupid question time, im used to a windows enviroment when exe = install/run programs, when I download a zip of a Linix program, what do I do to install it?
[04:17] <ghee> fryguy: I've tried a bunch of other players. Mplayer just freezes, so does Gxine
[04:17] <Fryguy--> CWii: why not
[04:17] <tech0007> jamiejackson: umount
[04:17] <CWii> FrancoGG, you know why.
[04:17] <bazhang> titan, install from package manager not random websites
[04:17] <tech0007> ghee: mplayer is same as gmplayer -< gui
[04:17] <WhyACow> how do i boot livecd into a shell where i can run rsync?
[04:17] <Fryguy--> titan: depends on what it is.  And why are you downloading from the internet instead of just using the repositories
[04:17] <legend2440> happypinguin: i have ati radeon 9600 with the open source driver and when i do  locate fglrx.ko i get no file by that name found.  so not sure. are you using the ati proprietary drivers?
[04:17] <jamiejackson> i'm in paranoid mode, and i don't want any opportunity for anything to write to it, will letting it mount then umounting it *definitely* guarantee that nothing writes to the disk?
[04:17] <titan> its 2nd life
[04:17] <tech0007> ghee: it doesnt play w/ gmplayer?
[04:18] <Fryguy--> WhyACow: when the livecd boots, press alt-f2, type gnome-terminal, and there you go
[04:18] <bear1> titan I'm new from windows also I found that one big change in ubuntu from vista is add/remove programs function.
[04:18] <Fryguy--> ghee: if mplayer doesn't play it, probably nothing will
[04:18] <ghee> tech0007: no it stutters, flashing with that error
[04:18] <WhyACow> thanks Fryguy--
[04:18] <titan> its not in the install programs feture
[04:18] <bear1> In windows you just remove programs in Ubuntu you actually add programs thats where I got all my programs.
[04:18] <ghee> tech0007: actually VLC does play it, but without sound ;-(
[04:18] <tech0007> ghee: what kind of media is it? make sure u have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed
[04:18] <Fryguy--> titan: there should be some directions that come with the program to install it.  2nd life is a binary so it's going to have a completely nonstandard way of installing it.
[04:18] <Dr_willis> titan,  the site should have docs on how to insall.. if its a self-insalling executable. one normally does a 'sh ./whateveritis.bin'  or similer command.
[04:19] <Billll> alright I'm burning unbunto as a iso image?
[04:19] <bear1> oh yea hes going to have to use the Wine program I'm guessing
[04:19] <happypinguin> legend2440, I'm working on my friends laptop. He has an ATI X1200.. He needs to have TV-out. Does the opensource driver support TVOut using some GUI app?
[04:19] <bazhang> Billll, yes
[04:19] <ghee> tech0007: it's AVI, i'm pretty sure i have the extras, i'll check now
[04:19] <IdleOne> Billll, yes
[04:19] <tech0007> jamiejackson: if its mounted ro, nothing's going to write on it
[04:19] <Fryguy--> bear1: pretty sure 2ndlife has a native linux version, not sure
[04:19] <Billll> alright because it's a bit frustratign when it's not booting up from floppy to Cd =P
[04:19] <Dr_willis> Second Life has a Native Linux Client. :) it got GPL'd the other day i recall.
[04:19] <bear1> oh cool
[04:20] <jamiejackson> tech0007: someone suggested i let it mount automatically, then umount it, that's why i'm asking
[04:20] <ghee> tech0007: yep, i have them installed
[04:20] <bullgard4> In 'CFS scheduler' does CFS stand for 'Common Functional Specification'?
[04:20] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: completely fair scheduler
[04:20] <bazhang> bullgard4, completely fair
[04:20] <tech0007> jamiejackson: is it mounted rw or ro
 what was the thing you said to install for ftp on ubuntu server again
[04:20] <legend2440> happypinguin: not sure about gui app but i use svideo cable to connect to TV to watch movie avi's on TV
[04:20] <Fryguy--> !ftp | akuma55
[04:21] <jamiejackson> tech0007: auto mount mounts it rw by default (i'm pretty sure)
[04:21] <tech0007> ghee: run 'mplayer [mediafile]' on termianl to check for errors
[04:21] <Fryguy--> !ftpd | akuma55
[04:21] <bullgard4> Fryguy--, bazhang: Thank you for explaining.
[04:21] <bazhang> np
[04:21] <cafree> I'm trying do a clean install of ubuntu using lvm raid 0, and I get an error that of one of the lvm volumes I created does not exist.  Did I forget to install a package before restarting ubuntu?
[04:21] <happypinguin> legend2440, I suppose the linux-restricted-modules provides the proprietary driver, is that right?
[04:21] <tech0007> jamiejackson: 'umount /devicepath' to unmount it
[04:21] <akuma55> witch one is the best that you wout sugest
[04:21] <Leefmc> Question: Does nautilus support tabbed browsing? I swore i read that, but i see no sign of it
[04:21] <Fryguy--> btw bullgard4: google for "what does cfs scheduler mean" and you'll see some more detailed information about the scheduler if you want (along with figure out it's name)
[04:22] <tech0007> Leefmc: not yet, its planned in IOI
[04:22] <jamiejackson> tech0007: right, but is there any chance that anything will write to the disk before i umount it?
[04:22] <tech0007> Leefmc: *II
[04:22] <belendax> /who freenode/staff/*
[04:22] <tech0007> jamiejackson: if its ext3, it will have an lost+foudn folder, other than that i dont know
[04:22] <Leefmc> tech0007: Will that be an update to naut? Or Ubuntu .. Goat. (damn them and the naming scheme hehe)
[04:22] <akuma55> what do you use
[04:23] <Fryguy--> akuma55: i don't run an ftp server
[04:23] <tech0007> Leefmc: i hope so coz i like that tabbed browsing alot
[04:23] <ghee> tech0007 yeah, i did that, but don't understand the output:  "A:  0.0 V: 0.2 A-V: -0.165 ct: -0.013  5/  5 ??% ??% ??,?% 0 0"
[04:23] <Fryguy--> akuma55: proftpd is commonly used
[04:23] <Seracht> what are some good packages I should get? automatix compizconfig-settings-manager
[04:23] <Seracht> anything else?
[04:23] <Fryguy--> Seracht: don't use automatix
[04:23] <bazhang> Seracht, no more automatix
[04:23] <Seracht> ok
 whitch do you recommend
[04:23] <Seracht> anything else then
[04:23] <Dr_willis> automatix = dead.
[04:23] <IdleOne> !automatix > Seracht
[04:23] <jamiejackson> okay, back to the beginnning then, what's the proper way to temporarily disable automounting, so i can mount manually?
[04:23] <Fryguy--> akuma55: i already answered you
[04:23] <legend2440> happypinguin: is there an ati driver box to enable under system>administration>hardware drivers
[04:23] <John1> How much on the HDD should Ubuntu be?
[04:24] <akuma55> i see it now soory
[04:24] <tech0007> ghee: paste.ubuntu.com  the entire output of 'mplayer [mediafile]' it will give us a lot of info
[04:24] <Seracht> thanks IdleOne
[04:24] <Fryguy--> John1: 10GB + swap should be fine for most users
[04:24] <Billll> anybody know of a free Cd burner software to burn unbuntu on =P
[04:24] <Seracht> imgburn
[04:24] <Fryguy--> Billll: imgburn
[04:24] <spanther> where to download the ubuntu 8.04 !!!DVD!!!  ?  :)
[04:24] <Veinor> For some reason, the theme I set in System->Preferences->Appearance doesn't apply to System Monitor.
[04:24] <happypinguin> legend2440, I have no xorg right now : (. I accidentally removed the fglrx driver
[04:24] <IdleOne> isorecorder
[04:24] <Fryguy--> spanther: why not just use the cd?
[04:25] <spanther> Fryguy-- cause i want a complete ubuntu DVD with all included for archivement and offline install :)
[04:25] <Veinor> I have darklooks right now, a dark theme, but it doesn't work; System Monitor is a light color.
[04:25] <Billll> fryguy: thank you :D
[04:25] <IdleOne> www.ubuntu.com
[04:25]  * happypinguin wonders which package provides fglrx.ko
[04:25] <tech0007> spanther: try this http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/8.04.1/release/
[04:25] <Fryguy--> spanther: http://nginyang.uvt.nl/
[04:25] <spanther> Fryguy-- i can use bittorrent so i dont block networks i can share just want this real DVD you can buy also ^^
[04:25] <John1> With Ubuntu Installed, Can you manually get rid of Windows?
 how do i find my ip so i can use ftp
[04:25] <Fryguy--> akuma55: use ifconfig
[04:26] <spanther> tech0007 thank you :DDDD
[04:26] <Fryguy--> John1: sure
[04:26] <tech0007> John1: yes
[04:26] <ghee> tech0007 thanks, ok, i pasted it!
[04:26] <Seracht> how do i enable propietary drivers?
 and do whatv
[04:26] <legend2440> !find fglrx.ko
[04:26] <hololight> If my wireless card physically shows bcm4321 (a native support card) but in software shows as a bcm4328 (only supported by ndiswrapper -- evil!) is there a way to trick either it or the native b43/b43xx driver into working?
[04:26] <tech0007> ghee: post the link here
[04:26] <Seracht> or get latest nvidia drivers?
[04:26] <Fryguy--> akuma55: type ifconfig, and it'll show you your IP address
[04:26] <Fryguy--> akuma55: or visit www.whatismyip.com
[04:26] <akuma55> oh ok
[04:26] <ghee> tech0007 sorry, wasn't sure how that worked. the link is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25134/
[04:26] <spanther> Fryguy-- tech0007 thank you both for these nice repositorys ^^ sadly they aren't shown on the main website itself to pick as choose :)
[04:26] <IdleOne> legend2440, try apt-cache search fglrx
 and i can use that any were i go right
[04:26] <adude> how do i configure a sound card?
[04:26] <John1> Ah ok. The reason why I wish to do such is because, I wish to learn much and be able to help with many things.
[04:27] <Fryguy--> akuma55: depends on how your network is set up
[04:27] <Kunin> n #eeepc
[04:27] <John1> Does Ubuntu allow all types of Security keys?
[04:27] <Fryguy--> Seracht: when you install, if you have an nvidia card it should prompt you to enable the restricted drivers automatically
 what do you mean
[04:27] <Fryguy--> John1: ?
[04:27] <jsmjsm> I am having trouble using the wireless connections in Ubuntu.
[04:28] <John1> Lol.
[04:28] <Fryguy--> akuma55: i mean it depends on how you have your network setup.  If you have a router, you'll have to do port forwarding for example.  Network configuraton and specifics of configuring proftpd are outside of the scope of this channel, check out google results for "ubuntu proftpd" for more information
[04:28] <Veinor> Also, none of the darker themes that I've installed are working properly.
[04:28] <Veinor> They're not making the windows dark at all.
[04:28] <John1> Im being an idiot for right now so refrain from answering some of my questions.
[04:28] <cafree> Can someone explain to me what "modprobe dm-mod" does?  I think this is related to me being unable to boot into my newly installed lvm system
[04:28] <Fryguy--> adude: it typically works out of the box.  Care to share a more specific problem?
[04:29] <WhyACow> Fryguy--: alt-f2 doesnt do anything for me
[04:29] <Fryguy--> WhyACow: you are in gnome?
[04:29] <WhyACow> booting from live cd
[04:29] <Fryguy--> WhyACow: if you browse the applications menu, there should be an option for terminal there
[04:29] <Veinor> Anybody?
[04:30] <jsmjsm> In Vista, for example, I can see a list of available networks... in Ubuntu, I don't... I'm a newbie with Ubuntu.. maybe I'm doing something wrong
[04:30] <Fryguy--> Veinor: anybody what? you didn't ask a question did you?
[04:30] <bullgard4> Fryguy--: Googling for "what does cfs scheduler mean" worked great! Thank you for your tip.
[04:30] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: lol :)
[04:30] <bazhang> Veinor, that is an issue with the theme not ubuntu
[04:30] <spanther> Fryguy-- hey they are ubuntustudio all :)
[04:30] <graft> jsmjsm: do you have a network-manager icon in your taskbar?
[04:30] <jsmjsm> Yes, I do.
[04:30] <Veinor> bazhang: All the dark themes I've tried have failed that way, though.
[04:30] <graft> jsmjsm: right-click on it
[04:30] <bazhang> Veinor, try a different one
[04:31] <John1> $5 says Bill Gates might help with all issues. =P
[04:31] <jsmjsm> graft: ok.. which option?
 how do install proftpd
[04:31] <bazhang> John1, please chat elsewhere.
[04:31] <legend2440> happypinguin: have you tried to reconfigure xorg.conf with   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg?
[04:31] <Fryguy--> akuma55: apt-get install proftpd
[04:31] <tech0007> ghee: try 'mplayer -vo x11 -ao alsa [media]'
[04:31] <John1> Sorry for that
[04:32] <Fryguy--> akuma55: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ProFTPD
[04:32] <Veinor> bazhang: I tried Darklooks, which worked great before I reinstalled hardy.
[04:32] <jsmjsm> graft: I have an artheros card in a sony laptop
[04:32] <graft> jsmjsm: you should see a list of networks to choose from there...
[04:32] <Fryguy--> akuma55: http://www.rootprompt.org/article.php3?article=11236
[04:32] <Veinor> So now on a fresh install it doesn't work consistently.
[04:32] <WhyACow> unop: how do i get into a liveCD session?
[04:32] <Fryguy--> akuma55: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51611

[04:33] <spanther> YAY found ubuntu dvd :D
[04:33] <Seracht> is vim installed by default?
[04:33] <Fryguy--> akuma55: sudo apt-get install proftpd
[04:33] <jsmjsm> graft: I get lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.
[04:33] <jsmjsm> eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[04:33] <akuma55> thats what it gave me
[04:33] <Fryguy--> Seracht: some version of vi is, yes
[04:33] <Fryguy--> akuma55: and look at the 4 links I just gave you
[04:33] <tech0007> !paste | akuma55
[04:33] <bazhang> akuma55, use sudo
[04:33] <graft> jsmjsm: um, so you don't have an interface for your wireless card?
[04:33] <ghee> tech0007 wow, that worked!  you rock - thanks!  what should i set in the gui settings if that happens again?
[04:34] <jsmjsm> graft: I tried to use the madwifi program but it wouldn't compile properly
[04:34] <graft> jsmjsm: is there a kernel module loaded for it? try lsmod | grep ath_pci
[04:35] <tech0007> ghee: in gmplayer, set audio to alsa, but you should use xv not x11 n ext time
[04:35] <John1> Can you use a network card on ubuntu, and If so, Will it be detected quickly?
[04:35] <jsmjsm> graft: ath_pci               105008  0

[04:35] <bazhang> John1, which card

[04:36] <pretender_> Please help i have a fresh install of hardy and i am unable to get 1680x1050 res on Nvidia Driver with my 22" LCD currently running 1600x1200 res
[04:36] <tech0007> ghee: your video's limited if u use x11,
[04:36] <kermode> Okay.
[04:36] <John1> Linksys Wireless G PCI
[04:36] <poningru> uh.. the 1680 is probably impossible
[04:36] <Fryguy--> pretender_: did you specify widescreen
[04:36] <poningru> try just 1600x whatever
[04:36] <Fryguy--> poningru: uh, no?
[04:37] <jsmjsm> graft: any ideas?
[04:37] <graft> jsmjsm: and /sbin/ifconfig only reports lo and eth0 interfaces?
[04:37] <poningru> Fryguy--: well my 22" is limited to something like that
[04:37] <poningru> dont remember whether its that or 1900
[04:37] <spanther> whoa ubuntu 8.10 looks so awesome *.* this dark design
[04:37] <Fryguy--> poningru: i'm pretty sure your 22" is 1680x1050, just like our friends here
[04:37] <tech0007> spanther: #ubuntu+1
[04:38] <spanther> tech0007 i do not need support nor i want a alpha :P i just said how good it looks ^^
[04:38] <poningru> ah no its 1900x1200
[04:38] <ghee> tech0007 thx for the info. i just looked in the settings in gmplayer and it's already set to xv and alsa, but it still won't open the file
[04:38] <jsmjsm> graft: yes
[04:38] <tech0007> ghee: can u play it when gmplayer's set to x11 and alsa?
[04:38] <John1> Beofre I reboot, Are there any command lines I should have on me when I go onto Ubuntu?
[04:39] <Fryguy--> John1: ?
[04:39] <John1> BBefore*
[04:39] <tech0007> ghee: you need to close gmplayer after changing the settings

[04:40] <DanaG> Anybody know how to get an rtl8187 wifi card to connect at higher than 1 megabit?
[04:40] <Fryguy--> depends on what client you are using, try /names
[04:40] <ghee> tech0007 it was already set to alsa. changing it to X11 gave the same effect (i closed/reopened for settings to take effect)
[04:40] <joebelow> Anyone know how to trigger the volume on screen volume display? Pref. Using Lirc?
[04:40] <DanaG> I don't expect 54 megabits true throughput.... but it should at least connect at, oh, 24 megabits, at least.
[04:40] <Seracht> how do I edit my grub?
[04:40] <Seracht> want to remove some things on there
[04:40] <Seracht> and change the order
[04:40] <spanther> Fryguy-- ubuntustudio looks best with its black shiny panels :D
[04:40] <Fryguy--> Seracht: /etc/grub/menu.lst
[04:40] <Seracht> thank you
[04:40] <DanaG> (my iwl3945 card only gets a 36 megabit connection speed in Linux; in Windows, it gets 54.)
[04:40] <Fryguy--> spanther: uh. ok. why are you telling me this?
[04:41] <DanaG> isn't it /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[04:41] <Fryguy--> DanaG: yes it is
[04:41] <jsmjsm> Anyone familiar with Atheros wireless cards working (or rather, not working) with Ubuntu
[04:41] <tech0007> ghee: close gmplayer, open terminal, 'mv .mplayer .mplayer.bak' , then play aroudn w/ gmplayer's settings

[04:43] <Seracht> bazhang that's not it...
[04:43] <tech0007> spanther: i dont..

[04:45] <tech0007> ghee: np
[04:45] <Seracht> last question (hopefully) best SVN app?
[04:45] <Fryguy--> DanaG: from what I know, all realtek drivers are awful in linux and have terrible throughput, both wired and wireless. I don't know why, and I don't know if it's true or not.  But i've seen the source for some of the older realtek wired nics, and the comments are pretty funny
[04:45] <Seracht> or do I need one?
[04:45] <Fryguy--> Seracht: svn runs on teh command line
[04:45] <Seracht> thank you
[04:45] <Seracht> Fryguy-- know the commands?
[04:46] <Fryguy--> Seracht: 'svn' is the command
[04:46] <DesiSinger> Help -- Any programs out for Ubuntu that can capture the video from my camcorder ?
[04:46] <DanaG> Aah, I figured it was such.
[04:46] <DanaG> It sucks in Windows, too, actually.  Poor signal.
[04:46] <Seracht> thank you
[04:46] <bazhang> renoboy, hi :)
[04:46] <DanaG> Note to others: don't buy Netgear WG111.  It's pathetically weak, and it gets scalding hot.
[04:46] <renoboy> i need some drivers for a wireless pc card!
[04:46] <Fryguy--> DanaG: might be worthwhile to spend a bit of money on a more reputable card
[04:46] <Seracht> thanks for all the help Fryguy-- just setting up my unix environment for programming an OS -.-
[04:46] <renoboy> hey wuts up bazhang
[04:47]  * DanaG switches to an RT2500 cardbus card... but still it has tiny onboard antennas.
[04:47] <Seracht> (and everyone too)
[04:47] <Fryguy--> Seracht: what language you going to be using
[04:47] <tech0007> !pm | manoj
[04:47] <bazhang> renoboy, what card internal or external
[04:47] <tanner> is there anyway i can force a resolution on a external display with nvidia-settings?
[04:47] <renoboy> um its a PCI for my desktop
[04:47] <Seracht> Fryguy-- c
[04:47] <Fryguy--> Seracht: sounds like a fun project, good luck with it.  Best i've done is implement a different scheduling algorithm in the 2.4x kernels
[04:47] <Seracht> it's for a Coldfire Motorola 68K CPU
[04:48] <RAdams> does anyone know of any software that will organize music files based on their tags, physically moving them to folders?
[04:48] <bazhang> renoboy, lspci in terminal will tell us what chipset (just the one line here please)
[04:48] <Seracht> also another stupid thing.to download apps it's sudo apt-get install XXXXXXXXXXXXXxx
[04:48] <Seracht> right?
[04:48] <Fryguy--> RAdams: exfalso
[04:48] <bazhang> Seracht, yes
[04:48] <RAdams> Fryguy--: ty
[04:48] <renoboy> what?
[04:48] <DesiSinger> Any programs out for Ubuntu that can capture the video from my camcorder ?
[04:48] <Fryguy--> Seracht: yes, and there are guis available as well (synaptic)
[04:48] <bazhang> renoboy, you in livecd now?
[04:49] <renoboy> no i have it partitioned on my hd but im on windows right now
[04:49] <ubunubi> radams: i've seen programs that can read the tag metadata from the files itself then sort them, but it wasn't a music player also
[04:49] <bazhang> renoboy, dl'd iso yet?
[04:49] <renoboy> yup i got it installed and its running great just need some drivers
[04:50] <bazhang> renoboy, can you troubleshoot (with ethernet) from the ubuntu install?
[04:50] <renoboy> what do u mean?
[04:51] <bazhang> renoboy, troubleshoot with wired ubuntu
[04:51] <Fryguy--> renoboy: run an ethernet cable to your machine, boot to linux, and then talk to us while you are in linux
[04:51] <Bax> How do I get ubuntu to recognize an external drive?  How can I access this drive that neither appears on my desktop (gui) or the terminal?
[04:51] <graft> Bax: how is it wired up? USB?
[04:51] <Fryguy--> Bax: when you plug in the drive, do you get any errors in /var/log/messages
[04:51] <renoboy> my house is set up mireless my only router is downstairs! :(
[04:52] <renoboy> is there any other way?
[04:52] <bazhang> renoboy, then you need to find out the exact chipset name
[04:52] <renoboy> how do i do that?
[04:52] <bazhang> renoboy, in windows no idea
[04:52] <rand0m> k so i did sudo apt-get install gdesklets and it did its thing but now what ?
[04:52] <tech0007> renoboy: go to system information
[04:52] <Fryguy--> renoboy: in windows, right click on my computer, properties, device manager, find the card there and give us as much information about it as possible
[04:52] <renoboy> do u think anyone in here knows how?
[04:52] <Leefmc> Question: Anyone know if HandBrake (CLI specifically) has the ability to convert a file? All i'm finding the ability to do is convert dvds heh
[04:53] <tech0007> renoboy: or device manager
[04:53] <rand0m> nvm found it
[04:53] <bazhang> renoboy, likely yes
[04:53] <bazhang> just not me :)
[04:53] <renoboy> ok
[04:53] <samnon> Gday
[04:55] <DesiSinger> Is Kino the best choice for video capturing from camcorder ???
[04:55] <renoboy> ok so i right cliked--properties---hardware---device manager so will it be under system devices?
[04:55] <tech0007> brb
[04:55] <Fryguy--> renoboy: yes
[04:55] <Fryguy--> renoboy: under network adapters most likelyh
[04:55] <tech0007> renoboy: under network adapters
[04:56] <Squ1shy> Hi I have an issue with my network connection using ubuntu 8.04. I am able to ping websites but unable to access internet addresses. Also I have tried accessing my router directly (http://192.168.0.1) but it doesn't work in firefox... so it's not just a DNS issue. Any ideas?
[04:56] <renoboy> ok so i give my wireless card info not my chipset right?
[04:56] <mneptok> Squ1shy: nslookup cnn.com
[04:56] <Fryguy--> renoboy: right
[04:57] <Fryguy--> Squ1shy: have you tried wget?
[04:57] <Squ1shy> Comes back with Server 192.168.0.1 Address 192.168.0.1#53
[04:57] <DesiSinger> can anybody help me please
[04:57] <Fryguy--> DesiSinger: nobody knows the answer to your question
[04:57] <mneptok> Squ1shy: http://64.236.16.20/
[04:58] <DesiSinger> :-)  - okay
[04:58] <Squ1shy> Non-authoritative answer: Name: cnn Address: 64.236.29.120
[04:58] <renoboy> ok u had me confused> its a Linksys Wireless-G PCI Network Adapter with speed booster
[04:58] <Bax> graft: USB, Fryguy: I get nothing, no errors, the OS is dump of it's very existence
[04:58] <Bax> *dumb
[04:58] <Fryguy--> Bax: do other usb devices work on your system?
[04:59] <Bax> Fryguy: yes, I can even use my ipod as an external hard drive if I wanted to
[04:59] <Fryguy--> Bax: lsmod and look for ehci and ohci, if they are both loaded use rmmod to remove one of them at a time and see if the problem persists (modprobe to put it back)
[04:59] <Bax> even my xp laptop can recognize it
[04:59] <Squ1shy> mneptok -> sort of works. The header of my firefox has changed to "CNN.com - Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News" but the rest of the website hasn't looked, only the header title of firefox has changed
[05:00] <Fryguy--> Squ1shy: try wget
[05:00] <mneptok> Squ1shy: contact your ISP.
[05:00]  * m_newton is away: loligaging at the wee hours of nite; just to say hi to all and host my server.
[05:00] <Fryguy--> Squ1shy: also bring up top and see if firefox is going nuts with cpu usage, maybe it's bogged down on something
[05:00] <bazhang> !away > m_newton
[05:00] <Billll> alright this isn't working out
[05:01] <afallenhope> hey anyone know what the issue is with the ov51x-jpeg driver/module? I can't get it to work in Adobe Flash Player.
[05:01] <Billll> I need a floppy bootable disk I've done the steps but ti's still messed
[05:01] <renoboy> Fryguy>> its a Linksys Wireless-G PCI Network Adapter with speed booster
[05:01] <sirebral> Hi.
[05:01] <Fryguy--> renoboy: hit google up for how to install wireless drivers for that card
[05:01] <Billll> m00
[05:01] <Fryguy--> renoboy: i don't know how to do it
[05:01] <sirebral> I wanted to post this bug I've been experiencing from time to time.  But instead of just creating a forums account I though this would be a good place.
[05:02] <ubunubi> #awn
[05:02] <Bax> Fryguy--: weird, I found a ehci_hcd and a ohci1394.  Still do the same thing?
[05:02] <Squ1shy> Fryguy -> wget works. Able to wget www.mozilla.com
[05:02] <sirebral> Sometimes when I go to minimize a window my entire system resets.
[05:02] <Fryguy--> Bax: no, the 1394 is firewire, that's not the problem
[05:02] <sirebral> Who should I be telling?
[05:02] <Fryguy--> Squ1shy: type top
[05:02] <Fryguy--> sirebral: launchpad
[05:02] <hyperstream> renoboy: worse case you'll just have to use ndiswrapper
[05:02] <sirebral> where at?
[05:02] <renoboy> ok so in google i would say something like Linksys wireless-G PCI driver for ubuntu?
[05:03] <bazhang> renoboy, is there no way possible to connect wired to that ubuntu install? would make things a whole lot easier
[05:03] <Fryguy--> renoboy: sure
[05:03] <Fryguy--> sirebral: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu
[05:03] <afallenhope> !webcam
[05:03] <renoboy> nope bazhang btw what is ndiswrapper?
[05:03] <skyrider> Can someone from Ubuntu developers help with resolution of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-pack-eo-base/+bug/156913/comments/28 ? Fix is obvious AFAIU but we need advice from developers who understand all language-packs magic.
[05:03] <Squ1shy> OMG... all other websites fail but I am able to access www.mozilla.com
[05:04] <sirebral> thanks fryguy
[05:04] <Jab> How do you get 8.04 to recognize a realtek network card. It is an onboard card and the install did not detect it.
[05:05] <Fryguy--> Jab: driver support for realtek cards is terrible, and even if you get it working the output will be terrible.  I would recommend spending a bit of money and getting another card
[05:05] <bazhang> Jab, this is wired? then lspci will tell which one
[05:05] <renoboy> what is ndiswrapper?
[05:05] <renoboy> how do i install?
[05:06] <bazhang> Jab, also check ifconfig and look for eth0
[05:06] <Fryguy--> renoboy: ndiswrapper is a component that let's you install windows drivers for wireless cards in linux
[05:06] <Bax> Fryguy-- : but I can still do what you suggested with ehci_hcd?
[05:06] <Fryguy--> Bax: it won't do anything
[05:06] <Squ1shy> Fryguy -> top says firefox is running at 5-6% cpu.
[05:06] <kurumin> ,.,;.,
[05:06] <DanaG> Wow, I waited 20 minutes after changing wireless cards.... and Pidgin never did come to realize it had been disconnected!   I'd call that majorly broken.  I actually had to manually disable and then re-enable the account to reconnect!
[05:06] <renoboy> so would it be easier if i just did it that way?
[05:06] <DanaG> 20 minutes!  That's just plain RIDICULOUS!
[05:07] <bazhang> renoboy, we dont know the chipset just the model name
[05:07] <DanaG> And I'll bet it would've let me merrily go on for HOURS with it still thinking I was online... when I wasn't.
[05:07] <renoboy> oh so in order to do that i have to be wired up so i can get thet exact info right?
[05:07] <bazhang> renoboy, but you said that was impossible
[05:07] <Billll> DanaG: Stop being a drama queen PLZ
[05:08] <Billll> =P
[05:08] <martosurf> hi guys/gals, please tell me i'm not the only one, every time i want to open GDM via "gksudo gdm" at the shell or clicking System>Administration>Login screen the window opens only to close half second later, i think this must be associated with a recent update because i didn't experienced this before and i'm chatting now from a brand new installed ubuntu 8.04, in fact i deleted all  partitions and installed a fresh copy
[05:08] <martosurf> do you know how to correct this glitch?
[05:08] <jsmjsm> I'm struggling with setting up wireless in Ubuntu... Atheros chipset... using the Windows drivers.. not working
[05:08] <Fryguy--> DanaG: it's partly a function of the protocols that various IM clients use.  If you really think it should be filed as a bug, pidgin has a bug tracking system that you can get to at www.pidgin.im, go file a bug and the developers will get to it when they have a chance
[05:09] <sirebral> What is your Wireless connecter, jsmjsm?
[05:09] <bazhang> DanaG, pidgin and ubuntu are pretty good about getting fixes quickly
[05:09] <usser> jsmjsm: did you try madwifi already?
[05:09] <Fryguy--> martosurf: gdm is a daemon that runs before you log in, what exactly are you trying to do

[05:09] <DanaG> http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/181
[05:09] <legend2440> martosurf: one thing to check is that /etc/hostname file matches /etc/hosts file
[05:10] <rp3> martosurf I have seen this, if you edit your /etc/hosts and remove the .local or something like that it fixes it I thinks. :)
[05:10] <bazhang> renoboy, they are not expensive, and installing the drivers will be a whole lot easier
[05:10] <martosurf> Fryguy: hi there! exactly what i described: open the welcome login window (sorry i have spanish ubuntu) to handle login screens - when i click it the window shows up only to close half second later
[05:10] <legend2440> !hostname | martosurf
[05:10] <rp3> ok, remove the .localhost off the 127.0.1.1 line and it fixes that I think.
[05:11] <renoboy> huh well ill see if i can go do that right now

[05:19] <Jab> Ok it ran its course bazhang. The final output was No DHCPOFFERS received. Anything else to give a try? I am about ready to give up on it and go buy another card.
[05:19] <sirebral> laters.
[05:19] <bullgard4> What is a "scsi0 channel"? (see http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/389560/)
[05:19] <hyperstream> hmm if i was looking for a customized theme or style for my gnome what would i be looking to do, i want something pretty flash like you see in alot of youtube video's, what kinda projects are out that style gnome
[05:20] <Redian> merula: 2.0.4? I think...the thing is its on an EEE pc running xubuntu, but the xubuntu channel is dead, mind giving it a shot?
[05:20] <merula> hyperstream, check out compiz-fusion and emerald
[05:20] <bazhang> Jab, please paste the output of lsmod to paste.ubuntu.com
[05:20] <merula> Redian, you're working on vmware 2.0.4? The latest is something like ver 6
[05:20] <saltedlight> bullgard4, that is your ATA HDD i think
[05:20] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: looks like your dvd or cd burner
[05:21] <hyperstream> yeah  i have compiz running
[05:21] <Jab> Will do bazhang thanks
[05:21] <Redian> merula: Vmware player?
[05:21] <hyperstream> merula:  im thinking more of customized window borders and such,
[05:21] <merula> hyperstream, use emerald. That's what I've got and it works great, especially with a black border/theme and the standard orange ubuntu theme. Very flashy, very nice.
[05:22] <theFATMAN> my external hdd is unreadable sometimes till i reboot, whats up with that?
[05:22] <Redian> merula: I just downloaded it today, so I think its gotta be the newest version, straight from the vmware site.
[05:22] <hyperstream> thanks merula
[05:22] <merula> Redian, hmmm... oh, I get it. I'm so used to VMware Workstation (version 6 is up to date) that I forgot about the player.
[05:22] <ch0desmuggler> Hey guys, I'm looking at partitioning tow 750gb drives and setting them in RAID1. I want to know of the following filesystems, which will give me the most actual space (Is this called overhead?): FAT32, NTFS, EXT2, EXT3.
[05:23] <merula> hyperstream, no prob. Just do a google of emerald and themes and the first link should be to a reliable site.
[05:23] <bazhang> !raid
[05:23] <Fryguy--> ch0desmuggler: ext2
[05:23] <Redian> merula: lol, I'm just using it to get a Zune working within ubuntu :P
[05:23] <hyperstream> merula:  excelent :)
[05:23] <Fryguy--> ch0desmuggler: but you should use ext3 because it's a lot better and the difference of wasted space is minimal
[05:23] <merula> Redian, oh bleh... um... I actually don't know at all what to do. >.<
[05:23] <joshb> wow this place is full. I'll go ahead and put my problem out here. running 7.10 on my ps3 and I want my wifi to work. I know I need to update my kernel but I don't know how. Help please
[05:24] <Redian> merula: Does the workstation version have a conig to do in terminal?
[05:24] <Redian> merula: config*
[05:24] <ch0desmuggler> Fryguy-- do you have numbers that i could look at anywhere? I don't know what i'm even searching for
[05:24] <Fryguy--> ch0desmuggler: no
[05:24] <martosurf> see ya
[05:24] <merula> Redian, I would -assume- that to get a zune working, you first have to get it connected/recognized to the system, but I've never used a zune.  -- the workstation requires a full install of *some* OS like windows and then the setup for a zune.
[05:25] <merula> Anybody tried using a zune on ubuntu yet?
[05:25] <hlfshell> actually
[05:25] <hlfshell> zune can be used with ubuntu
[05:25] <Redian> lol
[05:25] <Redian> I know
[05:25] <Redian> I'm doing it with a virtual machine
[05:25] <hlfshell> i mean i did a qucik google search
[05:25] <hlfshell> it can be used with amarok
[05:26] <merula> hell, I've never done anything of the sort. >.<
[05:26] <Redian> Not really.
[05:26] <ganjaman> yeah amarcck
[05:26] <joshb> wow this place is full. I'll go ahead and put my problem out here. running 7.10 on my ps3 and I want my wifi to work. I know I need to update my kernel but I don't know how. Help please
[05:26] <Redian> Through Amarok all you can do is delete files, can't even play.
[05:26] <renoboy> well linksys doesnt have drivers for linux so i need info on ndiswrapper
[05:26] <ganjaman> what?
[05:26] <hlfshell> oh
[05:26] <Fryguy--> Redian: check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=750c8930665b48ab461ed8baa2ffcc27&t=316246
[05:26] <Redian> On a virtual machine with windows in VmWare player, you just have uninstall your usb 2.0 driver to get the zune working.
[05:26] <hlfshell> that seems..... odd
[05:26] <openros> Consider i didnt switch on my Wlan and i booted my hardy. After boot if i want to enable wlan(wifi), its not getting enabled if i switch on. Is there any command or only restart my pc
[05:26] <Redian> Argh, that's not my problem
[05:27] <Redian> My problem is installing mware player on xubuntu, the configuration keeps failing
[05:27] <ganjaman> you can emulate a usb port either
[05:27] <frosty> how do i show people an audio recording that i have on my pc...through teamspeak....without putting my mic up to the headphones?
[05:27] <merula> joshb, try looking up a kernel-building walkthrough. Have you done that? Can you be more specific in describing your problems that you're having?
[05:27] <Fryguy--> Redian: why not try virtualbox? a lot of people like it better than vmware, and it'll probably give you less of a configuration hassle
[05:27] <Jab> Got it pasted and sent the info on its merry way bazhang.
[05:28] <saint-takesh1> frosty: just route it through Jack
[05:28] <hlfshell> is virtualbox free Fryguy-- ?
[05:28] <bazhang> Jab, we need the url
[05:28] <Fryguy--> hlfshell: yes
[05:28] <Jab> Just a sec
[05:28] <ganjaman> no virualbox is gplv2
[05:28] <Redian> Fryguy--: I set up on vmware, and I don't need the virtual machine anymore. Windows is installed on it, and I was just gunna copy it for my brother, save the wasting of another MS XP key
[05:28] <hlfshell> interesting. i recently had some issues with vmware so i might look at this alternative
[05:28] <frosty> saint-takesh1, i'm trying to show my friends a recording that i did last night......it's on my hd...
[05:28] <codyzapp> hiya.. i need to setup a "crontab" for ever 10 minutes of the day, to access a php file. can anyone help me out?
[05:28] <joshb> merula: I've spent two days scouring a crapload of walkthroughs on how to get linux to recognize my wifi driver on my PS3. I am not fluent with linux but I'm competant and can do it if I had a little more detail and guidance
[05:28] <merula> Okay, has anybody had troubles deleting MS DirectX when using Cedega on Hardy? I can't seem to wipe it from the trash.
[05:28] <frosty> saint-takesh1, or doesn't that matter?
[05:28] <renoboy> need info on how to use ndiswrapper

[05:29] <bazhang> !ndiswrapper
[05:29] <merula> joshb, alright, have you built a kernel before at all?
[05:29] <saint-takesh1> frosty: yeah, it's fine...just use qjackctl
[05:29] <unsungx> heya, I have askd this ins the compiz-fusion channel but again I get no love, anyone know why when I hold down ctrl-alt-left mouse drag it puts me inside of a cube instead of outside like in all the videos I have seen?
[05:29] <frosty> saint-takesh1, how?
[05:29] <frosty> saint-takesh1, sudo apt-get install?
[05:29] <renoboy> !ndiswrapper> renoboy
[05:30] <hlfshell> inside a cube unsungx ?
[05:30] <ubunubi> unsungx:: because you have the "inside" cube setting box checked in the compiz configuration tool
[05:30] <Fryguy--> unsungx: compizconfig-settings-manager has a large variety of settings for everything in compiz.  Take some time to tweak it to your needs
[05:30] <unsungx> i cant find it
[05:30] <Jab> url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/25139/
[05:30] <saint-takesh1> and connect the output of your favourite Jack-enabled audio player (VLC) to the input on whatever you're trying to broadcast it over
[05:30] <hlfshell> you have to install it unsungx
[05:30] <merula> unsungx, yeah, what ubunubi  said, probably
[05:30] <joshb> merula: no, I've installed kboot on my PS3 and installed a liveCD of Ubuntu 7.10. I can work my way around the terminal fairly well but I don't know how to install firefox 3, let alone build a kernel
[05:30] <hlfshell> use synaptic to install it
[05:30] <frosty> saint-takesh1, got it...thx!
[05:30] <unsungx> oh well in that case lol
[05:30] <ganjaman> holy kernel, you are the allmighty ruler, you are the commander of my hardware and of my software, you can take me as you also can take my computer
[05:30] <hlfshell> unsungx, search in synaptic for compiz-fusion, one of the options will be a settings managetr. makes using fusion a breeze.
[05:31] <merula> joshb, alright, give me a minute and I'll get you some info you can read up on. Would that help?
[05:31] <unsungx> alright hey thanks a bunch!
[05:31] <saint-takesh1> frosty: just PM me if you have any troubles

[05:34] <hyperstream> merula: whats the name of your theme?
[05:34] <Fryguy--> luchador: http://thepemberton.com/posts/archives/13
[05:35] <joshb> merula: thanks a ton. FryGuy also posted those links while you were looking for them. the help is much appreciated. I'll read up and see what I can do. thanks again!
[05:35] <Fryguy--> luchador: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/HowTo/InstallingSteam
[05:35] <merula> joshb, honestly though, kernel building is a tricky thing in and of itself -- you might not need to rebuild your kernel if you used, say, ndiswrapper or some other tool to get it working. Still, I dont' know much about running linux on a PS3
[05:35] <merula> hyperstream, um... let me look.
[05:35] <[[thufir]]> I'm using netstat to try and figure out why my network usage is pegged:  http://www.papernapkin.org/pastebin/view/1494/
[05:35] <hyperstream> merula: thanks mate
[05:35] <bazhang> there is a channel as well #ubuntu-ps3
[05:35] <joshb> merula: ndiswrapper?
[05:35] <luchador> i mean counter-strike hlfshell
[05:35] <merula> hyperstream, I'm using "83626-vision black" for my emerald theme.  I'd like to get it working for gnome too, but meh...
[05:36] <hlfshell> yah i realized that after a minute luchador
[05:36] <hlfshell> What package do I want to use if I want to install virtual box?
[05:36] <luchador> thanks Fryguy-- but i already have steam installed
[05:36] <Fryguy--> luchador: i'm sure some of those articles go a bit more indepth than just installing steam
[05:36] <Fryguy--> hlfshell: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[05:36] <luchador> all the articles ive read havent discussed my problem

[05:38] <vluther> hey guys, if i've setup a simple bridge, which firewall solution would you guys recommend ? I'd like to be able to say, allow 80 on these ips, but not on these other ips.. etc. shorewall? ipkungfu?
[05:38] <merula> joshb, ndiswrapper is a module that "wraps" a non-linux-native wifi module and makes it usable in linux.
[05:38] <merula> !ndiswrapper
[05:38] <binarymutant> How can I get a screenshot using mplayer? I tried it with the -vf screenshot option but I get an error about the video filter not being there
[05:38] <[[thufir]]> pls help me figure out what's using up almost all my network connection:  http://www.papernapkin.org/pastebin/view/1494/
[05:38] <Fryguy--> vluther: you looking for a standalone firewall or something to run inside of ubuntu?
[05:38] <bloodrock> leemajors, possible hardware conflict/
[05:38] <merula> joshb, check that out (points to the bot output)
[05:38] <vluther> fryguy: inside of ubuntu, ubuntu is running the bridge right now
[05:39] <leemajors> bloodrock: the logs seem to suggest that also, any idea how i  might fix it?
[05:39] <hyperstream> merula: once ive imported it how does one activate it ?
[05:39] <unsungx> woot!
[05:39] <vluther> i'm just thinking of setting up an ips, already working on building snort inline etc
[05:39] <Fryguy--> vluther: iptables/firestarter should do what you need
[05:39] <ajonat> anyone got the hdmi output working with a 965GM intel card??
[05:39] <vluther> doesn't firestarter need a gui? i'm using ubuntu server
[05:39] <Fryguy--> vluther: so use iptables then
[05:40] <bloodrock> leemajors, find which hardware is  useing same irq and try and set it to a different irq
[05:40] <vluther> well, in the end it's all iptables, but I was wondering what utility/text based frontend you guys recommend
[05:40] <satish> ok  i have lenovo 3000 n200 with ubuntu latestt installed .i had intel hda 861vd sound card but it was not giving sound .i tried a lot but i think i messed up and not it shoews that i have nodevice .Can somebody help.
[05:40] <leemajors> bloodrock: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25142/
[05:41] <merula> hyperstream, um... go to System>Preferences>Emerald Theme Manager -- if it's not there, you might want to make sure it was installed.
[05:41] <hyperstream> merula: i did that i had to import the .emerald file its there listed
[05:41] <Fryguy--> vluther: i'd recommend taking the time to learn iptables syntax manually and just deal directly with iptables.  It seems like you are going to be maintaining a pretty complicated setup, so it's probably best in the long run
[05:41] <hyperstream> i click on it (highlight) nothing happeneds
[05:42] <merula> hyperstream, hmmm, just click it and click okay. It will apply either immediately or on next reboot of X.
[05:42] <hyperstream> kk ill just kill x
[05:42] <vluther> i intend to, i figured i'd learn the more advanced stuff from the firewall packages, i know the basic pre/post routing stuff, but i'd like to be able to use the collective brain of others to see if i'm doing it right :)
[05:43] <bloodrock> leemajors, is the logitech a multi usb port
[05:44] <bullgard4> saltedlight, Fryguy-- Thank you for explaining.
[05:44] <saltedlight> bullgard4, yw :)
[05:44] <leemajors> bloodrock: no, the logitech is the mouse -- it's a wireless logitech laser mouse
[05:45] <merula> So, is there any way to remove something from the trash in Hardy when the "empty trash" bit doesn't work? I'm trying to remove MS DirectX that I installed on Cedega.
[05:45] <Fryguy--> merula: you can open up a terminal and delete it manually with rm
[05:45] <Fryguy--> your trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash i think (or .share/local, i always get it backwards)
[05:46] <merula> Fryguy--, I'm doing my best to *not* have to do that, but...
[05:46] <luchador> fryguy might i ask you what gecko is? in that readme it says to run wine iexplore http://winehq.org and install gecko
[05:46] <Fryguy--> merula: why
[05:46] <luchador> but i dont know what gecko is or see it on the page
[05:46] <Fryguy--> luchador: gecko is the html rendering engine that firefox uses
[05:46] <luchador> how do i install it
[05:46] <Fryguy--> luchador: i have no idea
[05:46] <luchador> i dont see it on the webpage lol
[05:46] <merula> Fryguy--, eh, I thought maybe it'd be something I could just trick ubuntu into doing without becoming root and shoe-horning it into action. ^_^ Just a preference.
[05:46] <hlfshell> i saw that too luchador
[05:47] <Fryguy--> merula: you probably don't have to become root
[05:47] <hlfshell> luchador -  i think they want gecko cause of the font steam uses
[05:47] <Dana1> 25 minutes this time.
[05:47] <luchador> any idea what that means hlfshell
[05:47] <luchador> i already installed tahoma
[05:48] <hlfshell> hmm fraid that ones over myhead
[05:49] <hlfshell> how do i force my system into standby when i close mylaptop lid?
[05:50] <bloodrock> leemajors, shows it disconnecting and reconnecting prob not a conflict  not sure might check that battery isn't loose or receiver in the usb socket loose
[05:50] <hlfshell> figured it out

[05:53] <bazhang> renoboy, yes
[05:53] <leemajors> bloodrock: the mouse is plugged directly into one of the 2 main usb ports, and the other is taken up by a powered 7-port hub, mostly filled with external HDDs

[05:53] <nickolaus> Hey guys I need some help.
[05:54] <renoboy> ok now lspci
[05:54] <merula> hyperstream, bleh. I have no idea. I managed to click it, then click "quit" and it works for me -- yeah, try that. I really just bumbled my way through the setup.
[05:54] <bloodrock> leemajors,  or battery may be low and the signal gets blocked it for sure is connecting and recionnecting according to your pastebin
[05:54] <xaustenx> so, uh, could anybody help me with how to mount my old HD? it's a windows box that pretty much fails, but ubuntu won't let me mount it because it hasn't been able to properly shut down. i'm just trying to mount it so i can pull the files off of it to another external HD
[05:54] <bazhang> renoboy, then type lspci (dont paste here) paste to paste.ubuntu.com
[05:54] <Sord444> (i'm using the live cd and the fans are going full speed, but i'm not sure if thats because i'm using the livecd or because its not supported)
[05:54] <renoboy> ?
[05:54] <leemajors> bloodrock: battery is freshly charged...
[05:54] <bazhang> be right back
[05:55] <leemajors> bloodrock: how do you change the IRQ of a device?
[05:55] <alraune> xaustenx: did you try the force option ?
[05:55] <xaustenx> yeah, but i don't really understand how to do it, i'm kind of a linux noob
[05:56] <renoboy> i pressed alt+f2 and it says run application and i checked the box run in terminal and i typed in lspci but nothing comes up
[05:56] <nickolaus> my wife entered the following into terminal and the results are kind of funny. cd /usr/lib/xscreensaver     ./fuzzyflakes -root &        Now fuzzyflakes won't turn off and yeah not sure how to stop it. It's covering everything and I can only see the desktop when I rotate her desktop.
[05:56] <vluther> ok newbie ubuntu question.. if i do an apt-get remove packagename, how come it's files in /etc/ aren't removed? is there a flag i can give apt to remove em?
[05:56] <xaustenx> i mean i typed in what unbuntu said to do for the force option, but it returned another set of commands that i have no idea how to work with
[05:57] <b1f30> vluther: aptitude --purge <nameofpackage>
[05:57] <merula> vluther, um... you might want to use aptitude purge -- oh hey, thanks blf30
[05:57] <sensae> nickolaus: Switch to a vterm and go sudo killall -9 fuzzyflakes?
[05:57] <bloodrock> leemajors, irq don't much matter on usb

[05:58] <nickolaus> sensae, thank you.
[05:58] <giry> 5
[05:59] <sensae> nickolaus: np
[05:59] <renoboy> i pressed alt+f2 and it says run application and i checked the box run in terminal and i typed in lspci but nothing comes up
[05:59] <alraune> xaustenx..and of course the destination , eg  /mnt/HD
[05:59] <hvgotcodes> hey what is encrypted lvm
[05:59] <hvgotcodes> ?
[05:59] <nickolaus> sensae, she was trying to make her desktop a moving screen saver and it kind of got away from us.
[06:00] <alraune> :finrais: find or locate
[06:00] <lardarse> b1f30: i don't, but i have a partial suggestion about how to find out
[06:00] <nickolaus> sensae, is there a way to do that?
[06:00] <hyperstream> merula: just had to use the gkt version of slickness
[06:00] <vluther> hmm but not apt-get ? i like the ability to just use apt-cache and apt-get  aptitude is ncurses based and it kinda acts weird when ssh'd in
[06:00] <Sord444> nvm -- i dont believe it is
[06:00] <bloodrock> leemajors, does it seem to get lost in a certain are or position ?
[06:00] <sensae> nickolaus: No clue, I've never tried it. I just happened to know how to kill a runaway process, lol
[06:00] <renoboy> HELP
[06:00] <renoboy> lol
[06:00] <nickolaus> sensae, lol thanks.
[06:00] <sensae> lol np anyway
[06:00] <lardarse> !ask | renoboy
[06:01] <renoboy> i did that alt+f2 gnome-terminal and then lspci
[06:01] <rand0m> what's a good place to look for ubuntu screenshots of peoples setups so i can get inspiration for how to setup my desktop ?  when i google it, i just get screenshots of default ubuntu screens
[06:01] <renoboy> what info do u need from there
[06:02] <leemajors> bloodrock: hmm, i haven't noticed. that one could take me days to diagnose :) however when the mouse stops working I can just switch right on over to the touchpad which works fine, and i don't have this problem in windows..
[06:02] <[[thufir]]> how do I figure out which process has my network usage pegged?  netstat looks ok to my untrained eye.
[06:02] <tj83> rand0m i dont know.. but i'll pastebin mine if you like
[06:02] <rand0m> sure thanks
[06:02] <__yy> [[thufir]]: use nethogs
[06:02] <rand0m> always interested to see how people have their desktops setup
[06:02] <lardarse> [[thufir]]: network usage? don't know, but you could try running top to see if tehre's a correllation between cpu usage and net usage
[06:03] <[[thufir]]> __yy: thanks
[06:03] <bloodrock> leemajors,  k that kinda answers my thinking if no prob in windows it not a position prob
[06:03] <[[thufir]]> when I try to install nethogs I get:   Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[06:04] <renoboy> lardarse>> i pressed alt+f2 and it says run application and i checked the box run in terminal and i typed in lspci but nothing comes up
[06:04] <__yy> [[thufir]]: sounds like you're trying to use twp package managers at once
[06:04] <hyperstream> is there anyway to theme xchat into a dark colored style, i mean i cant change the background color of the userlist of server/channel/query tree window or the window i type in.
[06:04] <[[thufir]]> lardarse: top looks ok, cpu usage is normal
[06:04] <renoboy> what info do u need?
[06:04] <tj83> rand0m http://imagebin.ca/view/i1kfxQ.html
[06:04] <bloodrock> leemajors,  i'm blank on any other ideas sorry
[06:04] <lardarse> renoboy: then in the alt-f2 box, type gnome-terminal, and then type lspci in the terminal window that pops up
[06:05] <Xpistos> question about grub: I have 4 versions of the kernal. How do I get rid of three of them?
[06:05] <renoboy> ok now what?
[06:05] <leemajors> bloodrock: it's cool, thanks for trying :)
[06:06] <lardarse> renoboy: paste the output to pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com and then ask the person who told you to type in lspci what to do next
[06:06] <geom> Xpistos, err edit you grub.con or menu.lst
[06:06] <[[thufir]]> apt-get from the command line is the same thing as the synaptic gui?
[06:06] <__yy> Xpistos: you can remove the entries from /boot/grub/menu.lst , but that doesn't remove the kenels, just the grub entries
[06:06] <Madpilot> [[thufir]], yes
[06:06] <Finiras> when I try to use find, locate or slocate, nothing happens. it doesnt even give an error, even when I do it with sudo, while im a 100% sure that the file is somewhere in the filesystem. what do I do wrong in a command like this? sudo slocate reservoir (this is supposed to search for all files in the filesystem with that word in the name right)
[06:06] <__yy> [[thufir]]: pretty much
[06:06] <renoboy> so bazhang is still on line?
[06:06] <bloodrock> Xpistos, you could cut and to be safe save to a seperate file the kernels you don't use in menu.lst
[06:06] <Xpistos> __yy: Just as long as they don't show on boot cause the screen isgetting a little crowded
[06:07] <[[thufir]]> when I tried to install through synaptic, it also was unable to get a lock.
[06:07] <__yy> Xpistos: take them out of menu.lst and they won't show on boot
[06:07] <bloodrock> *miseed putting paste in my suggestion
[06:07] <lardarse> [[thufir]]: only 1 program can manage packages at a time
[06:08] <Xpistos> that works for me
[06:08] <[[thufir]]> how do I stop whatever unknown program is managing packages?
[06:08] <lardarse> [[thufir]]: probable causes for not getting a lock are that update manage is running, synaptic is running, or you have either ap-get or aptitude running in another terminal window
[06:08] <Xpistos> __yy: Is there any reason I would need any other than 2.6.24.19 and 2.6.24.19 recovery to show up?
[06:09] <Madpilot> [[thufir]], are you running 8.04?  Is there a sort of gear icon in the notification area beside the clock?
[06:09] <ElRay> nethogs, ty
[06:09] <Finiras> when I try to use find, locate or slocate, nothing happens. it doesnt even give an error, even when I do it with sudo, while im a 100% sure that the file is somewhere in the filesystem. what do I do wrong in a command like this? sudo slocate reservoir (this is supposed to search for all files in the filesystem with that word in the name right)
[06:09] <__yy> Xpistos: none that I can think of.
[06:09] <Xpistos> __yy: Thanks bra!
[06:10] <geom> Xpistos, its a safe way
[06:10] <geom> incase you break ya other kernels
[06:10] <jenny> hello
[06:10] <[[thufir]]> I took off the clock.  it's probably the update manager, but I don't see anything like that from either "top" nor "ps -e".  8.04
[06:10] <geom> you can safe boot in any of them
[06:10] <geom> and fix
[06:10] <geom> it
[06:10] <Xpistos> geom: Huh?
[06:10] <lardarse> [[thufir]]: try ps -A | grep update or ps -A | grep apt
[06:11] <geom> Xpistos, i have 2 Versions of each kernel i am running. one for back up incase i fuck up something on one of them
[06:11] <lardarse> !language | geom
[06:11] <fenec22222> hello
[06:11] <Xpistos> geom: That isn't a bad Idea
[06:11] <leemajors> whats the switch in cat to just see the last few lines
[06:11] <geom> lol no 10yr olds will be using irc
[06:11] <geom> but yea :-)
[06:11] <fenec22222> i have a problem with my headset there iis no output , but the speakers works
[06:12] <__yy> leemajors: you mean tail?
[06:12] <Xpistos> geom: Actually I am 13
[06:12] <geom> Xpistos, :O
[06:12] <tj83> geom i am sure it just slipped.. but yes.. some but few 10yr olds
[06:12] <leemajors> __yy: yeah so how do i use that?
[06:12] <Xpistos> geom: kidding
[06:12] <Xpistos> geom: 34
[06:12] <geom> lol :-)
[06:12] <geom> cool
[06:12] <fenec22222> can anyone help me
[06:12] <fenec22222> please
[06:12] <MGrunde> How do I remove a module from my initrd?
[06:12] <__yy> leemajors: same way you use cat ... tail just shows the last lines instead of all of them
[06:13] <Xpistos> geom: That is why you never believer her when she says she doesn't have a boyfriend
[06:13] <Finiras> can somebody tell me what im doing wrong damn it, it should be easy for most of you
[06:13] <leemajors> __yy: ah cool thanks :)
[06:13] <Finiras> when I try to use find, locate or slocate, nothing happens. it doesnt even give an error, even when I do it with sudo, while im a 100% sure that the file is somewhere in the filesystem. what do I do wrong in a command like this? sudo slocate reservoir (this is supposed to search for all files in the filesystem with that word in the name right)
[06:13] <lardarse> Xpistos: the only real reason for wanting to remove them from the list is if you have the default entry that expects to eb in a specific place below the ubuntu kernels
[06:13] <ubunubi> if i remove my current video card and replace it with a different model but that uses the same driver -- is ubuntu gonna handle it gracefully?
[06:13] <bluelight> how to tell thunderbird to show line numbers for the messages?
[06:13] <lardarse> Xpistos: like i did currently, and now after an update, the default bootup will be memtest86+ >:-/
[06:14] <Finiras> nevermind
[06:14] <Blaqlight> I can't seem to get one single file download to finish downloading. what could be wrong?
[06:14] <__yy> Blaqlight: what are youd using to download?
[06:14] <lardarse> Blaqlight: tried downloading using wget ?
[06:15] <[[thufir]]> thanks, it was apt running in the background.  I have a slow connection, how do I disable automatic updates?
[06:15] <rohan> are official xdeltas provided, to update my iso from 8.04 to 8.04.1? or unofficial xdeltas?
[06:15] <Xpistos> Cross your fingers!!!!
[06:15] <rohan> because 8.04 -> 8.04.1 is not a "significant" change, so it makes sense to provide xdeltas
[06:15] <Blaqlight> downloading source off the internet just dies. it gets a little into it, then the connection dies.
[06:16] <lardarse> [[thufir]]: updates won't download automatically (unless they changed something that i dont' know about)
[06:16] <Blaqlight> usually compressed files.
[06:16] <__yy> Blaqlight: what _program_ are you using to download?
[06:16] <Blaqlight> if it weren't for resume in ff3
[06:16] <[[thufir]]> so, why was apt running in the background, and why did killing it get the network load down?
[06:17] <lardarse> [[thufir]]: i am drawing up a blank
[06:17] <Flannel> rohan: Depending on your definition of significant, it could be.  Since a good deal of the packages were updates (although I have no hard numbers backing this up)
[06:17] <lardarse> suggest you ask on the forums
[06:17] <Blaqlight> __yy, firefox 3
[06:17] <rohan> Flannel: right, but still there is no reason to not provide a xdelta :)
[06:17] <saint-takeshi> is there a command to see how much videoram you have?
[06:17] <lardarse> Blaqlight: wget can resume a partially downloaded file if you give it the correct option
[06:18] <Xpistos> __YY: Thanks that did the trick
[06:18] <lardarse> saint-takeshi: no... the usual way involves turning the monitor on before turning the computer on, and then looking in the top-left closely. this may not work for on-board video though
[06:18] <__yy> Xpistos: np
[06:18] <saint-takeshi> lardarse: it's a laptop :-/
[06:19] <lardarse> then type free and paste the output to pastebin
[06:19] <Xpistos> Now I have Linux, recovery, emergency and under "Lesser Operating Systems" - "Microshaft Winblows"
[06:19] <lardarse> http://paste.ubuntu.com
[06:20] <lardarse> Xpistos: you changed "Other" to "Lesser", I take it...
[06:20] <Xpistos> yip
[06:20] <Blaqlight> wget might just work. thanks
[06:20] <gooody> does usb wireless adapters works in ubuntu hardy?
[06:20] <bazhang> gooody, some do
[06:20] <yesudeep> I don't know what's wrong but now I can't even browse bluetooth devices.  What's going on with Hardy?

[06:21] <yesudeep> Nautilus doesn't browse my cell phone, which it did just a couple days ago.
[06:21] <lardarse> saint-takeshi: do you know how much memory your laptop is supposed to ahve?
[06:22] <saint-takeshi> 1gb system memory..."up to 252mb" vram, but there's nothing in CMOS to set it.
[06:22] <Xpistos> is there any books anyone can recommend that can give me some more insight into Linux?
[06:23] <doubled> efnet.net
[06:23] <akuma55> how do i look at /etc/network/interfaces
[06:23] <tj83> akuma55, sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[06:23] <Blaqlight> it would be nice to have the activity in wget to show in the title bar on the term so that it shows on your switchbar.
[06:23] <lardarse> saint-takeshi: do free -b, adn then jsut tell me what the first number is

[06:24] <Lamentit> Hello, again. Is there a way to change the default VLC skin?
[06:25] <Fryguy--> Blaqlight: so configure your terminal to display the name of the currently running command in the terminal
[06:25] <Fryguy--> Blaqlight: most terminal emulators support a function like that
[06:25] <Blaqlight> leemajors, System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[06:25] <Blaqlight> any way to get the information?
[06:26] <Lamentit> Ha! Nevermind, got it.

[06:43] <Gazingson> Bus 006 Device 003: ID 0bda:8189 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
[06:43] <m1dn1ght_> Sorry to waste your time :)

[06:43] <tj83> !realtek | Gazingson
[06:43] <tj83> i wrote it.. its probably crude.. bit it works Gazingson
[06:43] <__yy> jerkface03: there is a lot more to x11 than x11-dev. Why are you trying to remove X?
[06:44] <Gazingson> sounds good to me
[06:44] <Gazingson> long as it works
[06:44] <jerkface03> installed only x11 on ubuntu server for dev purposes
[06:44] <Fryguy--> jerkface03: there's a lot of X packages, and if you have ubuntu-desktop installed you'll still have remnants.  remove ubuntu-desktop and see what happens
[06:44] <jerkface03> don't need it anymore
[06:44] <tj83> Gazingson, it works.. pulled my hair out for along time on that one.
[06:44] <jerkface03> not using desktop, using server
[06:44] <Gazingson> thansk
[06:44] <Gazingson> thanks
[06:44] <jerkface03> ahh wait
[06:44] <jerkface03> i think that got rid of it
[06:44] <jerkface03> sec
[06:44] <Gazingson> i need to learn so i don't always bother people in here
[06:44] <Gazingson> and do things like you tj83
[06:45] <jerkface03> no it's still there?
[06:45] <ksax> i can't get openoffice to work, it always says that i don't have the correct permissions. any help?
[06:45] <Fryguy--> Gazingson: just google everything, and put the word ubuntu in any search term you google for.  most of the time you'll find your solution in the first page of results or so
[06:45] <jerkface03> purge gets rid of everything right? even dependencies that are only used for x
[06:45] <jerkface03> ?
[06:45] <tj83> Gazingson, plz edit that wiki and put your model number in the list for me.. you will need to register or give me model number
[06:45] <Gazingson> ???
[06:45] <Fryguy--> jerkface03: no purge removes configuration files
[06:45] <jerkface03> christ
[06:45] <jerkface03> how do i remove it all?
[06:46] <Gazingson> brb
[06:46] <Gazingson> brb
[06:46] <tj83> Gazingson, i like to keep track of what computers have that card for helping others.. just let me know your exact model number.
[06:46] <Fryguy--> jerkface03: there should be a 'remove dependencies' options, check out the manpage for dpkg or apt-get to see
[06:46] <runes> question?  What is the official backup program supported in Ubuntu?
[06:46] <Fryguy--> runes: there is no "official" backup program.  If you are looking to backup entire partitions, use dd, otherwise check out something like rdiff-backup
[06:47] <jerkface03> is there anyway i can uninstall these god damn packages?
[06:47] <Jester45> !backup
[06:47] <Fryguy--> jerkface03: i just told you, there is probably a with dependencies option, have a look in the man page and see
[06:47] <tj83> !language  jerkface03
[06:47] <tj83> !language | jerkface03
[06:48] <runes> thanx Fryguy--
[06:48] <IntrepidOne> Fryguy--, remove --purge
[06:48] <ackbahr> Hi there! In System>preferences>removable media , I don't have the 'CD & DVD' tab. Can someone help me?
[06:48] <Fryguy--> IntrepidOne: pretty sure purge just removes configuration files
[06:48] <jerkface03> wait wait
[06:48] <jerkface03> autoremove
[06:48] <jerkface03> that was the option!
[06:49] <andy_> ackbahr, i don't either.  are you sure they're supposed to be there?
[06:49] <Gnea> ackbahr: they threw it under the Storage tab
[06:49] <andy_> (it is ironic the icon for removal media is a cd, and there is no cd tab)
[06:49] <IntrepidOne> Fryguy--, "remove --purge" uninstall and gets rid of conf files
[06:49] <andy_> i dont have a Storage tab either
[06:49] <Fryguy--> IntrepidOne: yes that's what i just said, he's wanting to remove dependencies
[06:49] <Gnea> hrm
[06:50] <ksax> i can't get openoffice to work, it always says that i don't have the correct permissions. any help?
[06:50] <Fryguy--> IntrepidOne: purge is mostly useless to him
[06:50] <IntrepidOne> Fryguy--, oh sorry well then depending how he installed the package and if the depends are no longer used it will remove them auto. or at least suggest to
[06:50] <Gnea> ksax: when performing what operation?
 when im done with nano how deo i get out
[06:50] <ksax> opening openoffice
[06:50] <ksax> it doesn't matter which
[06:50] <Fryguy--> akuma55: 1. why are you asking me. 2. there is a list of keyboard shortcuts at the bottom of your screen
[06:51] <ksax> writer, etc.
[06:51] <ackbahr> Gnea: I'll look closer
[06:51] <Fryguy--> akuma55: ^X prolly
[06:51] <MGrunde> ksax, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure openoffice.org
[06:51] <renoboy6> I have the broadcom 43xx wireless chipset and am using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff  how can I get ndiswrapper onto my machine as well as the drivers without a net connection?
[06:51] <IntrepidOne> akuma55, ctrl+x to save
[06:51] <cl0s_> how would I go about disabling compiz when i start up games or certain apps and then re-enabling it after exit?
[06:51] <ackbahr> Gnea: No 'storage tab' here.... :(
[06:51] <IntrepidOne> the ^ means ctrl
[06:51] <Gnea> renoboy6: got a usb drive?
[06:51] <tj83> cl0s, metacity --replace
[06:51] <Fryguy--> renoboy6: it would be easiest to just bring your computer downstairs and plug it in for the download
[06:51] <Gnea> ackbahr: sec, booting up a hardy system
[06:51] <renoboy6> yes i do
[06:51] <ackbahr> andy_: Well, most of the things I saw about this assumed it was there!
[06:52] <ksax> didn't help, i still have missing access rights
[06:52] <Gnea> renoboy6: there ya go :)
[06:52] <cl0s_> metacitty --replace turns off compiz?
[06:52] <andy_> ackbahr, it may have been in the past.  i am not sure where the options for cd autorun went
[06:52] <tj83> cl0s, and then compiz --replace
[06:52] <ackbahr> Gnea: Thanks a lot....
[06:52] <cl0s_> ooo ok.. thankss, will try
[06:52] <tj83> cl0s, yes
[06:52] <Gnea> ksax: can you take a screenshot?
[06:52] <renoboy6> well i already downloaded it and burned on to a cd will that work?
[06:52] <ackbahr> andy_: You're right, maybe I was reading gusty documentation....
[06:52] <cvn`> how do i uninstall ubuntu? there is some problem when i dual boot it and i need to uninstall it
[06:52] <ksax> just a minute
[06:52] <Fryguy--> renoboy6: probably, try it and see
[06:52] <Fryguy--> cvn`: replacing with windows?
[06:53] <Gnea> renoboy6: the windows drivers or the .deb packages or both?
[06:53] <andy_> ackbahr, i think that some cd auto run options are configurable in gconf-editor
[06:53] <kari> how can i play dvd files(.dat)?
[06:53] <ackbahr> Fryguy--: That's the hardcore way.....
[06:53] <Gnea> cvn`: what's the problem?
[06:53] <renoboy6> both
[06:53] <tj83> cvn`, more appropriate to uninstall the problem which is whatever else is on your computer :) j/k
[06:53] <ackbahr> andy_: ok, I'll try that
[06:53] <Gnea> renoboy6: should work fine
[06:53] <ripped> hello can some help me plez!!!!!!!!!!
[06:53] <Fryguy--> !ask | ripped
[06:53] <ackbahr> tj83: Like Windows, probably
[06:53] <ripped> *someone
[06:53] <andy_> ackbahr, youll have to dig for the specific key though.  gconf-editor is like  a whole nest
[06:53] <IntrepidOne> renoboy6, put the cd in the computer and it should open up a window showing you the files. then you can continue to  follow the install instructions
[06:54] <Gnea> ripped: in order to obtain a clue, you must provide one, please.
[06:54] <renoboy6> lol is doesnt have install instructions...
[06:54] <ripped> um...firefox has no sound plez someone help.
[06:54] <cvn`> hello Gnea.. i was trying to dual boot my system with ubuntu and windows. i started by installing ubuntu first, but after i install windows later, ubuntu doesnt seem to work. i think i'll try by installing windows first then ubuntu. so now i need a clean system to start on with. but how do i remove ubuntu off?
[06:54] <Fryguy--> ripped: what in firefox is trying to play sound
[06:54] <Flannel> !grub | cvn`
[06:54] <andy_> cvn`, do you care about any data on the drive presently?
[06:54] <Gnea> ripped: keep it to the channel.
[06:54] <ackbahr> andy_: So I noticed a few days earlier
[06:54] <ripped> a youtube video.
[06:54] <Flannel> cvn`: Use the first link there, and you'll get Ubuntu back
[06:54] <ksax> gnea: the screenshot is at http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/4706/screenshotgc8.png
[06:54] <Fryguy--> cvn`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[06:55] <Gnea> cvn`: oh ok, you just need to use the livecd again
[06:55] <Fryguy--> cvn`: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/
[06:55] <ripped> sorry gnea
[06:55] <andy_> you want to uninstall ubuntu or fix it?
[06:55] <Gnea> cvn`: see what Fryguy-- just gave ya
[06:55] <cvn`> Flannel: yep there's a problem with grub actually. but even if thats solved, i dont think windows work
[06:55] <ackbahr> andy_: Looked for "audio", didn't see anything that looked close to it....
[06:55] <kari> ﻿how can i play dvd files(.dat)?
[06:55] <Fryguy--> ripped: set up firefox to use the alsa-oss wrapper
[06:56] <xtknight> ackbahr, ok so you want to have audio cds automatically play?
[06:56] <Gnea> cvn`: what's happened, is that the windows bootloader has replaced grub - you can still replace grub in the MBR and still be able to dual boot with no issues
[06:56] <ripped> anyways i trying to watch a youtube a vid. but it has no sound my other things work.
[06:56] <ackbahr> xtknight: No, I want them to stop doing this
[06:56] <Gnea> kari: mplayer
[06:57] <cvn`> Gnea:  but windows can't load, the GRUB error was hanged. will replacing grub helps?
[06:57] <ackbahr> I'm ripping them, and I don't want to close a player 80 more times (I'm ripping a lot of them, actually)
[06:57] <Fryguy--> cvn`: yes
[06:57] <Bax> this is driving me nuts.  I can't format my EHD to fat32 on my xp laptop (which recognizes my EHD) and I can't get my ubuntu on my desktop to recognize ntfs, even with ntfs-3d.  Should I just return my WD external hard drive?
[06:57] <yowshi> how do i format a drive in an HDD thats in an external drive cage pligged into the comp via usb?
[06:57] <ackbahr> Sorry folks who are trying to help me, but my 14 month-old daughter just woke up, and the lukewarm bottle of milk can't wait. See you all later, and thanks!
[06:57] <ripped> well can someone plez tell me what to do. no sound on firefox. i think is the flash thing.
[06:58] <Fryguy--> ripped: i told you, set up firefox to use alsa-oss
[06:58] <Fryguy--> ripped: http://jorgecaceresyanez.blogspot.com/2007/01/youtube-videos-firefox-adn-ubuntu.html
[06:58] <ripped> how?
[06:58] <Gnea> cvn`: is grub providing a grub error number?
[06:58] <tj83> bax... i think i know your problem.. you have a windows box?
[06:58] <Bax> tj83: yes, xp on my laptop
[06:59] <tj83> bax before unplugging it.. "safely remove" it
[06:59] <tj83> bax then try again in linux
[06:59] <zcat[1]> hmm.. I've plugged USB drives with NTFS into this box and they just appear by themselves..
[06:59] <kari> ﻿Gnea:it says seek failed

[07:06] <xtknight> slavi1, it says the chip on which barracuda is based, is supported. http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-C-Media
[07:06] <emmet> jerkface03 whatsup?
[07:06] <Fryguy--> jerkface03: probably just uninstalled some packages you shouldn't have.  try and identify them and reinstall them
[07:06] <kevinmcq> i want to keep my brightness low to preserve battery life
[07:06] <xtknight> slavi1, cmi8788 i think
[07:06] <yowshi> cool now to get it ready for the next time ubuntu upgrades heh
[07:06] <Gnea> jerkface03: you repeated the whole "can someone pleze help me?" thing - it's implied by now, you don't need to repeat it.
[07:06] <kevinmcq> but it just keeps turning it up
[07:06] <slavi1> hmm, your 8738 seems to have only 1 hardware output channel ...
[07:06] <slavi1> xtknight: I know ...

[07:07] <slavi1> look at the aplay output

[07:07] <MGrunde> slavi1, I can't seem to find anything regarding blacklisting modules loaded in the initrd in the wiki.  Do you happen to have an idea what page it was on?
[07:07] <jerkface03> Fryguy--: is there repair functionality built into the installation cd or something?
[07:07] <slavi1> MGrunde: it's not initrd, it's udev :)
[07:07] <jerkface03> samba seems to be already installed, as does ssh
[07:07] <renoboy6> help me load ndiswrapper with out internet connection
[07:07] <Fryguy--> jerkface03: are you at a shell?
[07:07] <jerkface03> Fryguy--: yep
[07:07] <Fryguy--> jerkface03: that's all the installation cd is going to give you is a shell
[07:07] <yowshi> Gnea: hmmm nope not seeing the format button here
[07:07] <bullgard4> dmesg prints: "scsi0 : ata_piix; scsi1 : ata_piix." What is the difference betwenn them?

[07:07] <kari> ﻿kari:to run a .dat file... i tried  mplayer it says seek failed..in vlc its not working. i tried to install w32codecs but it says it is not installation candidate
[07:08] <Fryguy--> kari: you need to add the medibuntu repository to get w32codecs
[07:08] <Fryguy--> !medibuntu
[07:08] <slavi1> xtknight: http://pastebin.com/d15cdc2d
[07:08] <jerkface03> Gnea: i modified the configuration files a bit, they were stable and working before i decided to mess up my system by randomly removing packages
[07:08] <msshams> how to clear /tmp from data?
[07:08] <slavi1> xtknight: audigy has 32 hardware channels ... (it mixes them in hardware)
[07:08] <xtknight> slavi1, how ironic i also have a sound blaster on my other pc
[07:08] <zcat[1]> generally if the install CD gives you a shell, it's because the install kernel doesn't have support for your cdrom or drive interface and can't load the next stage
[07:08] <Gnea> jerkface03: and how did you modify the configuration? using what method?
[07:08] <slavi1> :P
[07:08] <xtknight> slavi1, i will try to dump the options i have with alsa mixer
[07:08] <jerkface03> Gnea: editted the config file to add a new share
[07:08] <Fryguy--> msshams: go into /tmp, identify things that aren't being used currently, and remove them with rm
[07:09] <Josdell> Hi everyone, how does it work that the LiveCD chooses what drivers to load for the hardware?
[07:09] <zcat[1]> Fryguy--: no you don't, you just need to add universe/multiverse..
[07:09] <slavi1> don't worry about that

[07:10] <renoboy6> fryguy help me load ndiswrapper
[07:10] <Fryguy--> renoboy6: i have no idea
[07:10] <jerkface03> Gnea: i don't mind reinstalling everything from scratch, but there's svn repos that i need to back up on that machine, and right now for some reason ssh isn't working so i need to go directly to the terminal
[07:10] <zcat[1]> Fryguy--: it's part of ubuntu-restricted-extras, which installs just about everything you might need except libdvdcss2 .. for that you do need medibuntu.
[07:10] <renoboy6> is anyone who knows how?
[07:10] <bullgard4> Josdell: To load what onto your existing Ubuntu Install?
[07:11] <renoboy6> <zcat[1] help me load ndiswrapepr

[07:11] <Fryguy--> msshams: it takes care of itself for the most part.  there is no "automatic" since at any given time various files in there might be needed by various proceses
[07:11] <Josdell> bullgard4: this "device enumeration"?
[07:11] <Gnea> jerkface03: that's fine. it's still possible to start with a clean slate with samba alone, while keeping the rest of the system intact. still interested?
[07:11] <slavi1> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=939&num=1
[07:11] <zcat[1]> !info non-free-codecs
[07:11] <jerkface03> Gnea: yes sir
[07:11] <kari> ﻿Fryguy--: is it necessary to install w32codecs to play .dat file? any other option? if no which repository to add?
[07:11] <zcat[1]> weird...
[07:11] <SeveredCross> zcat[1]: There's a libdvdcss2 installer in libdvdread
[07:11] <Fryguy--> !botabuse | zcat[1] :)
[07:11] <SeveredCross> I'm not sure exactly where it's located, but I know a shell script exists.
[07:12] <MGrunde> slavi1, I'm trying to prevent the module thermal from loading.  What does that have to do with udev?
[07:12] <Fryguy--> kari: nobody has any idea what's in that .dat file, since the extension doesn't tell us what format it is
[07:12] <Gnea> jerkface03: very good. become root and: apt-get remove samba && dpkg --purge samba && apt-get clean && apt-get install samba swat    let me know when you have completed those, please.
[07:12] <SeveredCross> Fryguy--: .dat video files are usually VCD/SVCD format.
[07:12] <jerkface03> Gnea: will do./
[07:12] <slavi1> MGrunde: module as in driver, right? udev handles those AFAIK
[07:12] <nibsa1242b> how do I make FF3 use Java?
[07:12] <SeveredCross> So, MPEG2, probably DVD-ish.
[07:12] <emmet> can someone help me is their a free virtualization solution  for mac that i could use to run ubuntu?
[07:12] <Fryguy--> emmet: virtualbox
[07:12] <SeveredCross> kari: Try mplayer or VLC, both should work.
[07:12] <zcat[1]> SeveredCross: Oh.. ok. there's also a regionset utility so you can use your drive's inbuild region decoding stuff, but that will probably limit you to just one region or some small number or region changes
[07:12] <renoboy6> can anyone help me load ndiswrapper???????? :/
[07:13]  * SeveredCross goes to bed.
[07:13] <slavi1> ﻿xtknight: could you run lsmod and see if 'smipci' is loaded ( lsmod | sort | grep cmi )
[07:13] <bullgard4> Josdell: As far as I know 'Ubuntu Install' is a program. One component of Ubuntu Install is device enumeration. Device enumeration is "built in" so to speak.
[07:13] <zcat[1]> does the bot know about universe/multiverse?
[07:13] <Fryguy--> renoboy6: why not try googling for your solution?  check out this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto
[07:13] <Gnea> !ndiswrapper | renoboy6
[07:13] <kari> ﻿SeveredCross:in mplayer it says seek failed and in vlc its not playing..
[07:13] <Gnea> !universe
[07:13] <Gnea> !multiverse
[07:13] <Rat409> !ndiswrapper | renoboy6
[07:14] <zcat[1]> 'cos I am sure I've installed all the codecs MANY times without using medibuntu..
[07:14] <onisciente> how can i update my kernell by command line at the terminal?
[07:14] <Metatron> im having trouble with ltsp-build client, i point it to an iso of the ubuntu 8.04 cd via mirror parm, but it coughs trying to get restricted Packages.gz, anyone know about this? i try adding extra mirror to standard repo but it chokes too
[07:14] <xtknight> slavi1, snd_cmipci is
[07:14] <slavi1> xtknight: the reason for all this, is that on monday I am getting a bluray player (PS3 :P) and I want to hook the system up to my computer (since the video will go into my monitor through hdmi)
[07:14] <Fryguy--> !kernel | onisciente
[07:14] <Gnea> onisciente: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:14] <Josdell> bullgard4: so if my Ubuntu install were, so to say, on an external hard drive with Ubuntu Install Installed on it, and I plugged it in to another computer, it work work with the computer?
[07:14] <onisciente> Gnea: thank you
[07:14] <slavi1> xtknight: I see, the interesting thing is that the 8788 has a different driver (snd_oxygen)
[07:15] <renoboy6> the problem is that my pc is not connected to the internet so i need to do manually
[07:15] <msshams> Fryguy--: so, i think any program that works with /tmp move itself files from /tmp not copy. is this true?
[07:15] <xtknight> slavi1, well how will you be hooking up audio to the pc?
[07:15] <Fryguy--> msshams: what?
[07:15] <Gnea> renoboy6: i thought you had them on cd already
[07:15] <pc7> j balikpapan
[07:15] <nibsa1242b> how do I make FF3 use Java?
[07:15] <Fryguy--> nibsa1242b: install java plugin
[07:15] <Gnea> FF3?
[07:15] <bullgard4> Josdell: Yes.
[07:15] <slavi1> xtknight: ps3 has digital audio output, and the cards with the 8788 have a digital in (TOSLINK) and they all do hardware decode for dts and dolby digital
[07:15] <Gnea> firefox 3.0?
[07:15] <renoboy6> i do but i cant load it and the websites u guys give me dont say how to load from usb or cd
[07:15] <xtknight> slavi1, is that spdif
[07:16] <IntrepidOne> !java > nibsa1242b
[07:16] <mayankjain> HI
[07:16] <xtknight> fiber optic
[07:16] <mayankjain> does ubantu cd have G++?
[07:16] <kari> ﻿SeveredCross:in mplayer it says seek failed and in vlc its not playing..
[07:16] <slavi1> xtknight: yes, but there is coaxial and optical (toslink is optical)
[07:16] <onisciente> is there a way to defrag a virtual ubuntu filesystem (wubi installation)?
[07:16] <IntrepidOne> !build-essential > mayankjain
[07:16] <Josdell> bullgard4: Thank you, goodbye
[07:16] <xtknight> slavi1, i was hoping to use it, unfortunately i dont have a spdif cable right now
[07:16] <slavi1> mayankjain: yes, install the build-essential package
[07:16] <Fryguy--> renoboy6: like i told you a while ago, it's easiest if you just bring the computer downstairs to your router to install the package, rather than jumping through hoops to do things in unusual ways
[07:16] <bullgard4> mayankjain: What is ubantu?
[07:17] <slavi1> MGrunde: what version of ubuntu?
[07:17] <renoboy6> ok if i take it downstairs how do i download it?
[07:17] <mayankjain> ubuntu
[07:17] <Fryguy--> onisciente: ubuntu filesysystems don't need to be defragged
[07:17] <nibsa1242b> IntrepidOne: its installed, but not working
[07:17] <Fryguy--> renoboy6: follow the directions in the links we've given you...
[07:17] <Gnea> renoboy6: the cd is easy - you place it in the drive, close it, and wait for the desktop to pop it up on the screen for you - then you open a terminal, cd to the path of the drive, copy the data to your home directory, umount the cd and eject it, then install it using the methods described on the website that you were informed about
[07:17] <xtknight> slavi1, i do have iec958 IN options, i think that's it
[07:17] <MGrunde> slavi1, 8.04
[07:17] <onisciente> Fryguy: good =)
[07:17] <slavi1> xtknight: prolly
[07:17] <Gnea> renoboy6: or just drag 'n drop it to the desktop
[07:17] <slavi1> MGrk
[07:18] <bullgard4> What is the preferred reader for the file /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/DocBook/libata.tmpl?
[07:18] <xtknight> bullgard4, type "file " before the filename and see what it says
[07:18] <tj83> renoboy6, may i ask what you need ndiswrapper for anyways?
[07:19] <mariachiac> hello Is anyone around to help me? I'm a new linux user seeking help. My name is Alonzo.
[07:19] <Fryguy--> !ask | mariachiac
[07:19] <Gnea> bullgard4: http://filext.com/file-extension/TMPL
[07:19] <mariachiac> When installing Ubuntu, busybox1.1.3 does not install
[07:19] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: why are you using busybox?
[07:19] <bullgard4> xtknight: "detlef@MD97600:~$ file /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/DocBook/libata.tmpl; /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/DocBook/libata.tmpl: XML"
[07:19] <MGrunde> slavi1, noload=thermal doesn't seem to work, and I'm not sure why.
[07:20] <mariachiac> That comes up when installing from cd
[07:20] <xtknight> bullgard4, just 'cat' the file i guess, i'm not sure what it is
[07:20] <mariachiac> The cd hangs
[07:20] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: you need to use xslt to convert it to something
[07:20] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: there should be other formats available
[07:20] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: have you done a check on the CD to make sure it was burned correctly
[07:20] <tj83> mariachiac, have you tried re-downloading and burning the disk? have you check the md5sums?
[07:21] <mariachiac> I am not sure how to do that. it just brings up that error thus not allowing me to install ubuntu8.0.4
[07:21] <slavi1> MGrunde: try adding the module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist , make sure to include a useful comment
[07:21] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: when you first boot from the disc, there is an option "check disc for errors"
[07:21] <xtknight> press the verify cd option at the startup
[07:21] <tj83> mariachiac, sounds like a bad disk.
[07:21] <onisciente> is there a problem to write or record things in an NTFS partition while in linux? I did it, but when i tried to resize my partitions many problems occurred. The program said that 2 files were using the same space. I don't know what was the problem.
[07:21] <xtknight> well busybox comes up for lots of things, maybe unsupported chipset too
[07:21] <Fryguy--> onisciente: ntfs works fine in linux
[07:21] <Gnea> ok, it's sleepy time
[07:21] <Gnea> happy 4th!
[07:22] <mariachiac> hmmm... Can someone message me in private pelase?
[07:22] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: that's what this channel is for, just talk in the channel
[07:22] <alraune> onisciente: installed ntfs-3g ?
[07:22] <slavi1> onisciente: I would suggest getting the gparted livecd (it's very nice, gparted there is much more featured than the one in ubuntu)
[07:22] <slavi1> onisciente: I am assuming you want to resize an ntfs partition?
[07:22] <jerkface03> Gnea: still around?
[07:23] <MGrunde> slavi1, That was the first thing I tried.  Because thermal is loaded with the initrd, that doesn't work.
[07:23] <onisciente> slavil i was resizing my NTFS to create a ext2 for linux
[07:23] <xtknight> !info ntfsprogs
[07:23] <ozkelligirl> hi all
[07:23] <slavi1> hmm
[07:23] <onisciente> slavil: then, many problems ocurred...
[07:23] <ozkelligirl> hi ubottu
[07:23] <onisciente> slavil: i was supposed to convert my virtual partition in a real one, but i gave up
[07:24] <Fryguy--> onisciente: 1. you want to create an ext3, and 2. probably just get gparted livecd and use that
[07:24] <slavi1> onisciente: what Fryguy-- said
[07:24] <slavi1> MGrunde: interesting ...
[07:25] <slavi1> MGrunde: "thermal" is part of acpi
[07:25] <onisciente> Fryguy: hmm, ok, i'll take a look. Do i have to create an ext2 or ext3?
[07:25] <slavi1> MGrunde: you can try to disable that
[07:25] <Fryguy--> onisciente: create and ext3
[07:25] <slavi1> onisciente: ext3 is better than ext2
[07:25] <Fryguy--> onisciente: don't forget about swap
[07:25] <slavi1> yes
[07:25] <slavi1> unless you have 8GB of RAM :)
[07:25] <xtknight> MGrunde, maybe some options in /etc/initramfs-tools (which is looked at when you do update-initramfs or mkinitramfs)
[07:25] <bullgard4> Fryguy--: On my Hardy computer there are installed the DEB program packages xslt1.1 and xsltproc. "detlef@MD97600:~$ man xslt; No manual entry for xslt". What do you mean by 'xslt'?
[07:25] <MGrunde> slavi1, and that does fix the thermal problem, but it also causes a few other problems of its own.
[07:25] <slavi1> heh, lol
[07:26] <slavi1> hmm
[07:26] <onisciente> Fryguy--: yes, i know... Do u think that the performance increases significantly in a real partition?
[07:26] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: xslt is a tool to translate xml to another format.  Docbook-xsl is a raw format suitable for converting to other format
[07:26] <Fryguy--> onisciente: not really
[07:26] <onisciente> Fryguy--: What could be the benefit?
[07:26] <slavi1> onisciente: ext3 is not much faster than ext2, it's the journaling feature that you want
[07:26] <xtknight> what's a virtual parition?
[07:26] <mako-dono> hello
[07:26] <slavi1> xtknight: extended
[07:27] <mayankjain> hello
[07:27] <xtknight> hmm
[07:27] <Fryguy--> onisciente: not much
[07:27] <alraune> xtknight: want pm ?
[07:27] <slavi1> xtknight: due to our great hard drive technology advances, they can still have only a max of 4 primary (bootable) partitions
[07:28] <xtknight> alraune, do you have a question?
[07:28] <Fryguy--> slavi1: that has nothing to do with hard drives, it has to do with the x86 platform architecture, and its' also not entirely true anymore, take a look at GPT
[07:28] <xtknight> slavi1, oh i see i thought that had been 'forgotten' about
[07:28] <slavi1> gpt?
[07:28] <Fryguy--> slavi1: yes
[07:28] <msshams> i installed glipper from apt-get. but now i cant run it from terminal and i can't find it at application list menu. can you help me plz?
[07:28] <xtknight> guid partiition tables and efi
[07:28] <xtknight> like windows dynamic disks creates
[07:28] <onisciente> Fryguy: I lost my ubunt some hours ago, because of leading with partitions. But, because i backup the root.disk, i could restore everything. In a real partition i would have a big problem to do it. So, i'll stay with my virtual one, hehehe
[07:28] <xtknight> or MAcs
[07:28] <mako-dono> is there a way to use the installation CD to reinstall the boatloader/grub on MBR? I installed windows and now windows' loader took over
[07:29] <GPT> Fryguy--: Huh?
[07:29] <xtknight> lol
[07:29] <slavi1> oh ... you mean the new technology that Apple has :P
[07:29] <Gast277> moin
[07:29] <ozkelligirl> i'm trying to find a good program for making music
[07:29] <mako-dono> this is the first time I deal with ubuntu or grub
[07:29] <Metatron> search the file system for glipper, see where it went
[07:29] <slavi1> mako-dono: yes, wiki has a guide on reinstalling grub
[07:29] <xtknight> GPT, sorry he meant an acronym with your name, GUID Partition Table :)
[07:29] <LSD|Ninja> slavi1: EFI has been around for years, Intel developed it for use with Itanium
[07:29] <Fryguy--> slavi1: it's been around since before apple, I use it on my multiterrabyte raid array on my freebsd server
[07:29] <tj83> !grub | mako-dono,
[07:29] <pc2> tes
[07:29] <slavi1> LSD|Ninja: yes, but due to the way desktop computers work, the only desktop computers to have EFI (AFAIK) are Apple's Imacs
[07:30] <Fryguy--> mako-dono: google "ubuntu grub windows" and there's a ton of useful results
[07:30] <xtknight> my eeepc had an EFI partition
[07:30] <mako-dono> Fryguy--: yeah. I found that on my own
[07:30] <slavi1> xtknight: it's a sub notebook :P
[07:30] <xtknight> yeah
[07:30] <LSD|Ninja> slavi1: all the Intel Macs use EFI but the main reason adoption has been slow on PCs is because Windows can't boot natively from it
[07:30] <mako-dono> Fryguy--: it's just that reaching IRC is easier for me since I don't usualy run X
[07:31] <slavi1> LSD|Ninja: which brings us to a point I'd rather not discuss (the horse is dead)
[07:31] <xtknight> what's the preferred way to adjust cpu speed?  the cpu scaling applet does not permit me to actually modify anything, only see the frequency ?
[07:31] <slavi1> ﻿not desktop, btw, it makes a good emulator system, I wonder if it can run PSX realtime
[07:31] <petar20> whats the easiest command to find out wht /dev your burner is+
[07:31] <xtknight> petar20, df -h
[07:31] <slavi1> xtknight: the applet has governors that you can choose
[07:31] <Fryguy--> petar20: cat /etc/fstab
[07:31] <onisciente> is there a program such cleaner for windows? Something that remove old temporary files.
[07:31] <msshams> i installed glipper from apt-get. but now i cant run it from terminal and i can't find it at application list menu. can you help me plz?
[07:31] <slavi1> onisciente: no
[07:31] <ozkelligirl> any one know how i can make co for testing sound systems
[07:32] <LSD|Ninja> slavi1: it's going to become more common now that Vista SP1 has arrived and Intel are making it a part of a future centrino platform (I can't recall if it's Montevina or the one after though)
[07:32] <Fryguy--> onisciente: if you care about removing termporary files, when you remove the package that is using them, use the purge options
[07:32] <xtknight> slavi1, unfortunately i dont think i have the options. well i left-click on it, and nothing happens.  alternate way to set cpu governor or does that require a recompile?>
[07:32] <slavi1> onisciente: there is a /tmp directory that gets wiped on every boot, that's where temp stuff goes to
[07:32] <slavi1> onisciente: there is also /var but that is for temp stuff that needs to remain
[07:32] <Fryguy--> xtknight: i'm not sure if there is any way to manually set a cpu frequency like that
[07:32] <xtknight> i want to use 100% duty cycle, not throttled at all.  any way to set taht?
[07:32] <slavi1> xtknight: hmm, hold on
[07:32] <Fryguy--> xtknight: stop powernowd
[07:33] <Fryguy--> xtknight: not sure why you'd want to do that, it's just wasting power, but powernowd is what you want to get rid of
[07:33] <slavi1> onisciente: don't worry with the menial tasks you were used to in Windows ...
[07:33] <xtknight> Fryguy--, i see, that did it
[07:33] <xtknight> i dont, i guess.  i just dont want it throttling when i want my full 3 ghz for video or whatever else
[07:34] <Fryguy--> it uses full cpu power if it needs it, it doesn't otherwise
[07:34] <Fryguy--> xtknight: it shouldn't be noticable
[07:34] <slavi1> xtknight: it is probably set to ondemand, so don't worry about it :)
[07:34] <xtknight> ah k i just never saw it go up to 3 ghz and wondered
[07:34] <magnetron> QUESTION: are there any deb-torrent or apt-torrent ubuntu repositories? can i use apt-torrent or debtorrent to get my .deb packages?
[07:34] <slavi1> xtknight: at desktop use, my CPU always stays at 1.6GHz, for a game, it jumps to 2.4GHz
[07:34] <ozkelligirl> fryguy do you know of a program for making cds for testing sound systems?
[07:35] <Fryguy--> ozkelligirl: why would you ask me?
[07:35] <tj83> xtknight, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor ?
[07:35] <slavi1> ozkelligirl: you could probably create a track using Audacity ....
[07:35] <ozkelligirl> you seam smart
[07:35] <Fryguy--> ozkelligirl: i don't know anything
[07:35] <slavi1> tj83: you remember that?!
[07:35] <xtknight> tj83, ondemand
[07:35] <xtknight> lol
[07:36] <Fryguy--> ozkelligirl: looks like some decent results here http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=soundsystem+test+cd&btnG=Search
[07:36] <Fryguy--> ozkelligirl: I usually just use test tones when I'm calibrating sound systems
[07:36] <slavi1> it's interesting how this channel changed ... there are very little newbie type questions here ... :)
[07:36] <slavi1> Fryguy--: you're a sound person?
[07:36] <Fryguy--> slavi1: most of these questions are newbie questions, what are you talking about?
[07:36] <LOWER_CASE> Hi, can anyone recommend an Appointment Manager application?  I don't necessarily want to use Evolution, since I already use Thunderbird for email.
[07:36] <tj83> slavi1, from debian days
[07:36] <Fryguy--> slavi1: yes, very much so
[07:36] <Fryguy--> LOWER_CASE: sunbird
[07:36] <tj83> xtknight, change to performance
[07:37] <slavi1> Fryguy--: back in 6.10 days, it was much newbier :)
[07:37] <Kunin> Out of curiosity, anyone else have an eee 901 and tried to get UBuntu on it?
[07:37] <slavi1> Fryguy--: any advice on a PC sound card?
[07:37] <xtknight> tj83, ya i think ill leave it now to save power, as long as it can scale up, but thx for the info.  that was what i was looking for
[07:37] <Fryguy--> Kunin: www.ubuntu-eee.com
[07:37] <tj83> never tried in ubuntu.. but works in debian
[07:37] <Fryguy--> slavi1: onboard
[07:37] <Kunin> I got mine running, after 2 days of fighting the drivers, just wondering if anyone else had that
[07:37] <slavi1> Fryguy--: :(
[07:37] <sonicjosh> I need the install path of firefox
[07:37] <Kunin> fryguy -> Yeah, I used that but there were some issues getting the network drivers(wired and wireless) running, wondering if anyone else had the same issues
[07:37] <slavi1> Kunin: I have a friend that loaded up Xubuntu on his, not sure of the exact model, it's the 300USD one
[07:37] <Fryguy--> slavi1: any onboard sound with digital output is going to output bitperfect audio.
[07:38] <bullgard4> Fryguy--: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=xslt&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any does not find xslt. Where can I get xslt from?
[07:38] <slavi1> Fryguy--: I need digital in :P
[07:38] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: no idea, it'd be better for you to find another documentation source than docbook-xsl
[07:38] <berkelep> yo all. having some issues with webmin creating users with duplicate ids.
[07:38] <Kunin> slavil 901 probably, the 901 is 600USD and just game out
[07:38] <Fryguy--> slavi1: many have that as well
[07:38] <slavi1> Fryguy--: I am thinking of getting an oxygen based card (cmi8788)
[07:38] <Kunin> *came out
[07:38] <LOWER_CASE> Fryguy-- Thanks.
[07:38] <Fryguy--> slavi1: i'm into audio playback, not recording
[07:38] <ironporcupine> hello?
[07:38] <slavi1> Kunin: no, his is older, it's the 7" model with 4gb of solid state built in
[07:38] <ogre> i got my wireless card stuck in monitor mode how do  get it back to normal?
[07:39] <leemajors> is there any spotlight equivalent for ubuntu?
[07:39] <Fryguy--> ogre: iwconfig should be able to do it for you
[07:39] <Fryguy--> leemajors: tracker
[07:39] <slavi1> Fryguy--: well, I am going to hook up my klipsch promedia 5.1 to it :)
[07:39] <berkelep> before i installed webmin, had several users created. then went to add more users and webmin created them with the same ids as the existing ones.

[07:42] <Starnestommy> mayankjain: irc
[07:42] <Fryguy--> mayankjain: irc
[07:42] <guest2342> hi i have a question. i need to make my c drive writable in ubuntu 7.04, its only readable right now. im looking at something called ntfs-3g and ntfs-config but idk how to install the first thing.. help?
[07:42] <slavi1> mayankjain: IRC
[07:42] <bullgard4> Fryguy--: I will try to find a better documentation source for explaining the term 'ata_piix' to me. But your answer surprises me because the file  /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/DocBook/libata.tmpl is part of the official Ubuntu documentation.
[07:42] <Starnestommy> mayankjain: server irc.freenode.net port 6667 channel #ubuntu
[07:42] <Fryguy--> guest2342: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[07:42] <mayankjain> then what to do
[07:42] <guest2342> if i have it on the desktop?
[07:42] <Gazingson> i have a sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ndisgtk
[07:42] <guest2342> that woudl work?
[07:42] <tj83> Gazingson, may i ask why the desperate need for ndiswrapper?
[07:43] <Gazingson> i don't even know
[07:43] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: no, that's part of the linux kernel documentation
[07:43] <Gazingson> did not even mean to paste that
[07:43] <slavi1> tj83: ndiswrapper needs to die ...
[07:43] <Gazingson> i have realtek 8189
[07:43] <Gazingson> can't get wireless
[07:43] <tj83> another one!
[07:43] <slavi1> Gazingson: same here :), the driver is in ubuntu and it works
[07:43] <slavi1> tj83: ???
[07:43] <tj83> !realtek \ Gazingson
[07:43] <Fryguy--> slavi1: contribute some time and port some drivers over to linux then :0
[07:43] <semisonic> ANyone know any answer's to my q?
[07:43] <tj83> !realtek | Gazingson
[07:43] <petar20> does a dvd need to be mounted in order to burn it? its a blank dvd9
[07:43] <Fryguy--> semisonic: didn't see it
[07:44] <tj83> Gazingson, you dont need ndiswrapper
[07:44] <mayankjain> what to write in passwd
[07:44] <ironporcupine> how do i get ubuntu to run yahoo messenger
[07:44] <Fryguy--> peterlh: no
[07:44] <mayankjain> in server
[07:44] <Fryguy--> ironporcupine: use pidgin
[07:44] <semisonic> Does the Latest Ver of Ubuntu Server work natively with COmpaq SmartArray.. eg. DL-380?
[07:44] <Gazingson> so what do i need to do
[07:44] <bullgard4> Fryguy--: Yes, that is true. And Ubuntu provides the linux kernel documentation as a package on its basic repositories.
[07:44] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: yes, and?
[07:44] <tj83> you need to follow that link and the instructions i wrote there.
[07:44] <ironporcupine> does pidgin support voice and cam?
[07:44] <mayankjain> what to write in server name in irc
[07:44] <Fryguy--> ironporcupine: no
[07:44] <Fryguy--> mayankjain: irc.freenode.net
[07:44] <mayankjain> to connect to this chat
[07:44] <slavi1> Fryguy--: I can't help if Broadcomm is a bunch of members of the “National Socialist German Workers’ Party”
[07:44] <tj83> Gazingson, follow that link and the step-by-step how to.
[07:45] <Gazingson> i tried to
[07:45] <slavi1> ironporcupine: not yet ...
[07:45] <Gazingson> so many times
[07:45] <Gazingson> i am 100% new at this
[07:45] <ironporcupine> i need a chat program that supports voice and cam
[07:45] <Gazingson> this is like day 2 for me
[07:45] <bullgard4> Fryguy--: So Ubuntu considers this as the documentation for Ubuntu users.
[07:45] <Gazingson> with no background
[07:45] <tj83> Gazingson, i wrote it, i'v tested it, i have helped many with it. it WORKS
[07:45] <mayankjain> why screen name and username is diff
[07:45] <gsevil> I suspend my computer and it return tu login screen, how can I fix?
[07:45] <Gazingson> i believe you
[07:45] <xtknight> slavi1, do you have an hd tuner card?
[07:45] <Jcink> ironporcupine, what about skype
[07:46] <tj83> Gazingson, all you have to do is copy and paste each line and your done
[07:46] <Gazingson> okay
[07:46] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: so then google how to use xslt to transform it into the format you want and read it.  Otherwise find it pre-converted to another format.  You've been told this already
[07:46] <ironporcupine> i cant figure skype out
 i got ftp access to my server but i can find my secondary drive
[07:46] <lf_ar> hey
[07:46] <slavi1> xtknight: had ... removed it (I wasn't using it and couldn't get MythTV configured)
[07:46] <lf_ar> how do i change my general mp?
[07:46] <lf_ar> on ubuntu
[07:46] <Jcink> ironporcupine, what do you mean?
[07:46] <tj83> ironporcupine, you need mediabuntu repo and the sudo apt-get install skype
[07:46] <slavi1> it was an Avermedia with the bt878 chipset (which is supposedly well supported)
[07:46] <Fryguy--> akuma55: there's plenty of proftpd documentation out there, and I linked you to a bunch of it. I don't use proftpd so i can't help you
[07:47] <xtknight> slavi1, oh i see.. well i have a radeon HD and fglrx is buggy with it.  radeonhd has no xv support yet, so im out of biz
[07:47] <slavi1> actually, I still have it :) (just not in my computer)
[07:47] <bullgard4> Fryguy--: I will try.
[07:47] <Fryguy--> lf_ar: general mp?
[07:47] <lf_ar> password
[07:47] <lf_ar> ubuntu
[07:47] <ironporcupine> i have skype
[07:47] <guest2342> ok, i still cant get the ntfs config tools. how do i make my ntfs writable?
[07:47] <slavi1> xtknight: that's why when I upgraded, I bought nVidia :)
[07:47] <mayankjain> (notice) This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>.
[07:47] <tj83> akuma55, vsftp is (in my opinion) better
[07:47] <ironporcupine> i am too new to this user system
[07:47] <mayankjain> how to change my nic name
[07:47] <Fryguy--> guest2342: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[07:47] <xtknight> slavi1, this is why ive got an nvidia next to me as well.  but i boght radeon hd since the radeonhd project is officially funded and going well
[07:47] <ironporcupine> i just dont understand it
[07:47] <guest2342> 7.04
[07:47] <Starnestommy> mayankjain: /nick new-nickname
[07:47] <LOWER_CASE> For an Appointment Manager, can anyone recommend the "Lightning" add-on? (for Thunderbird which I already use)
[07:48] <xtknight> slavi1, once it drives me over the edge the nvidia will be going in temporarily hehe
[07:48] <mayankjain> ok
[07:48] <slavi1> xtknight: I am enthusiastic for it but "I'll believe it when I see it" :P
[07:48] <Fryguy--> lf_ar: type "passwd" in a terminal
[07:48] <ironporcupine> i give up
[07:48] <Jcink> ironporcupine um. well, all you need to do is pretty much sign up for an account at skype and then login with it, its really not different from a messenger.
[07:48] <guest2342> fryguy--: i'm using 7.04
[07:48] <lf_ar> ok Fryguy-- thx!
[07:48] <mayankjain> but why I m not connected to this chatl
[07:48] <mayankjain> through pidgin
[07:48] <slavi1> mayankjain: /nick nickname
[07:48] <Dethnull> is there anything i should know/read before i try to install ubuntu 8 on a laptop?
[07:48] <gsevil> do you know how to suspend in ubuntu 8.04?
[07:48] <Fryguy--> guest2342: you should upgrade, all newer versions of ubuntu support read/write to ntfs without any effort
[07:48] <xtknight> slavi1, i was thinking of trying to make a tuner app for my card to bypass mythtv since ive had nothing but buggy experiences with it.  i havent even found anything other than mythtv that can autotune or use my card...
[07:48] <ironporcupine> but how do i get to the different chat rooms?
[07:49] <guest2342> aghh
[07:49] <Jcink> Roll over their username
[07:49] <guest2342> cant i do it with this one?
[07:49] <Fryguy--> ironporcupine: /j #newroomnamehere
[07:49] <Jcink> and there is a little icon
[07:49] <xtknight> slavi1, haupauge hvr 1800, actually the windows software isnt that great either
[07:49] <Jcink> oh
[07:49] <Fryguy--> guest2342: you probably can, but your operating system is over a year old, you should upgrade anyway
[07:49] <slavi1> xtknight: that would be nice ... are you going to write it in python? :P
[07:49] <Dethnull> antying i need to know about installing ubuntu on a laptop?
[07:49] <Jcink> ironporcupine, do you mean in skype, or on IRC
[07:49] <Dethnull> bwefore i do it
[07:49] <Fryguy--> Dethnull: make sure you know what driver you need for your wireless card
[07:49] <guest2342> lol im actually using winxp
[07:49] <Whtiger> So, does anyone know why scp would hang on transfering anything larger than about 1K?
[07:49] <ironporcupine> skype
[07:49] <slavi1> Dethnull: don't count on wireless working ...
[07:49] <guest2342> and i need to get rid of a dll
[07:49] <xtknight> slavi1, i don't know, maybe.  if i do at all, that is.  more familiar with C though.  but do you know of any hd tuner apps besides mythtv?
[07:49] <guest2342> virtumonde virus
[07:49] <mayankjain> what to do to get connected to this chat
[07:50] <slavi1> xtknight: nope
[07:50] <Dethnull> still problem with using the wireless for wifi?
[07:50] <guest2342> thought id be able to get rid of it with linux
[07:50] <guest2342> and now it can't write..
[07:50] <Dethnull> thought they got that working
[07:50] <slavi1> xtknight: you should learn Perl :)
[07:50] <merula> Whtiger, I'm not exactly sure -- have you checked your firewall settings? is the rest of your net working properly?
[07:50] <Fryguy--> mayankjain: type /j #ubuntu
[07:50] <slavi1> shouldn't there be a small util in Apps -> System Tools with like 2 check boxes?
[07:50] <Jcink> ironporcupine ok if you roll over someones username there is a little blue button with a speech balloon
[07:50] <mayankjain1> test
[07:50] <Jcink> ironporcupine, click that and it starts a chat
[07:51] <mayankjain1> g8t
[07:51] <xtknight> slavi1, i am not into scripted languages as much i guess
[07:51] <pwuertz> Whtiger: sounds like broken NAT routing to me
[07:51] <slavi1> :D
[07:51] <mayankjain1> I am connected
[07:51] <Whtiger> merula: yeah, everything else seems to work fine. I'm connected to the server via ssh right now. I can transfer tiny files fine.
[07:51] <mayankjain1> thanks
[07:51] <mayankjain1> :)
[07:51] <Dethnull> so basicly just check to see what driver im going to need for my wireless card and thats pretty much it
[07:51] <[gnubie]> anyone here able to make their bcm4318 chipset work on ubuntu 8.04 lts? i tried using b43 and ndiswrapper but both doesn't work.. :(
[07:51] <Fryguy--> Dethnull: sure
[07:51] <Whtiger> pwuertz: care to elaborate?
[07:51] <ironporcupine> ok, thanks
[07:51] <pwuertz> Whtiger: you know what NAT is?
[07:51] <Whtiger> pwuertz: Network Address Translation
[07:51] <merula> Whtiger, IIRC, scp uses a different port than ssh - are you sure the server is accepting scp connections too?
[07:52] <Fryguy--> merula: it doesn't
[07:52] <merula> aw damn.
[07:52] <slavi1> use sftp
[07:52] <pwuertz> Whtiger: ok.... is there a router doing NAT anywhere between you and this server?
[07:52] <Fryguy--> sftp is the same as scp
[07:52] <slavi1> hmm
[07:52] <Gazingson> okay okay
[07:52] <Fryguy--> same protocol same everything, you will run into the same issue
[07:52] <slavi1> then why wouldn't it work?
[07:52] <Gazingson> so i got part one done
[07:52] <Gazingson> i download the program
[07:52] <LSD|Ninja> I was about to say, I've never had to forward more than port 22 toget the whole ssh suite working :P
[07:52] <Gazingson> now completely lost
[07:52] <xtknight> Whtiger, network driver problem?
[07:52] <merula> Whtiger, sorry -- It's the blind leading the blind on this one, Whtiger -- Fry knows what he's talking about.
[07:52] <Fryguy--> merula: no i don't
[07:53] <Whtiger> pwuertz: yeah
[07:53] <xtknight> Whtiger, check dmesg, enable debug options for the network module you are using
[07:53] <slavi1> if you can browse dirs and such, then there shouldn't be a problem, unless there is a switch or something that cuts the transfer off
[07:53] <xtknight> and try disabling some of the special network options like tcp offloading ,etc,etc
[07:53] <merula> Fryguy--, haha, and yet you're correcting us. I'd say that counts as being knowledgeable. ^_^
[07:53] <slavi1> Gazingson: which line in the wiki howto are you stuck on?
[07:54] <mayankjain1> I have one query
[07:54] <mayankjain1> how can I install gcc from cd ?
[07:54] <Gazingson> slavil here is the link
[07:54] <Gazingson> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b
[07:54] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/DocBook/libata.tmpl
[07:54] <slavi1> mayankjain1: queries need to be take to MySQL/PosgreSQL
[07:54] <Gazingson> stuck on part after download
[07:54] <xtknight> mayankjain, if you have access to the internet, type sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:54] <mayankjain1> :)
[07:54] <xtknight> gcc is not included on the cd by default
[07:54] <Jcink> I have a quick question, someone just installed hardy... they're having issues with flash that I never did. first the sound didn't work, and I had him do this : http://mikewilliamson.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/flash-sound-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/ now it works, but he complains he has to activate flash objects... something tells me he is not using flash plugin nonfree... is that the problem? if so, what do i tell him to remove.
[07:54] <mayankjain1> my net is too slow :(
[07:54] <mayankjain1> at home
[07:54] <Fryguy--> merula: i don't really know anything abou tlinux
[07:55] <slavi1> Gazingson: did you do "sudo apt-get install patch"  ???
[07:55] <tj83> *****attention all you regulars, you linux masters, you individuals devoting your time to help others****** on the subject of realtek wireless chipsets will you please use !realtek  for individuals seeking this help. also note that lspci does not list the rtl8187 8189 chipsets but is rather usb based. so lsusb appropriately. **** thanks
[07:55] <xtknight> mayankjain, oh, so you need gcc huh?
[07:55] <pwuertz> Whtiger: when you do NAT, the router adds some additional bytes of overhead to the routed packages... this might result in packages that are above some threshold of your ISP's routers
[07:55] <Gazingson> not sure at all
[07:55] <Gazingson> how i would even do that
[07:55] <slavi1> build-essential is on the cd
[07:55] <mayankjain1> can I download it and take it on my pen and install it
[07:55] <slavi1> Gazingson: open a terminal
[07:55] <pwuertz> Whtiger: so if your packets are too big.. your ISP throws them away
[07:55] <xtknight> hmmm
[07:55] <tj83> Gazingson, pm me
[07:55] <slavi1> apps -> accessories -> terminal
[07:55] <merula> Jcink, I would see if you can install the latest version of adobe's flash plugin
[07:55] <pwuertz> Whtiger: that limit is around 1.4kb
[07:55] <leemajors> is there also a quicksilver replacement?
[07:55] <xtknight> mayankjain, ya you'd need all the dependencies and stuff, might be somewhat difficult
[07:55] <slavi1> and now I hand you off to the person who wrote the guide :)
[07:55] <Fryguy--> pwuertz: actually it's 1500
[07:56] <Fryguy--> bytes
[07:56] <pwuertz> Fryguy--: thanks ;)
[07:56] <slavi1> build-essential is on the cd
[07:56] <Jcink> merula, I think he did, but firefox isn't picking it up, i think it's not using the nonfree one..
[07:56] <mayankjain1> I can download
[07:56] <Whtiger> pwuertz: I can download larger files fine, just uploading
[07:56] <mayankjain1> from here
[07:56] <merula> Jcink, the only problem would be if he's using a 64-bit version of hardy.  Otherwise, you could set up flash to autoplay.
[07:56] <mayankjain1> can I know the dependency ?
[07:56] <slavi1> xtknight:  build-essential is on the cd
[07:56] <pen> anyone here know about xvkbd?
[07:56] <pwuertz> Whtiger, Fryguy--: but you usually choose something below so you won't hit the threshold
[07:56] <tj83> Gazingson, its 3am here.. my bed time was like 6 hours ago LOL.. PM me and i will give you 30 min and you will have wireless.
[07:56] <pen> what is the key for left?
[07:56] <slavi1> mayankjain1: build-essential is on the cd
[07:56] <pen> the arrow left
[07:56] <Fryguy--> pwuertz: no
[07:57] <mayankjain1> ok
[07:57] <Jcink> merula, so you're saying that because he has to click to play, he's always got to click? thats a side effect of 64 bit? ugh.
[07:57] <Fryguy--> pwuertz: you use networking software that works correctly and you set the MTU to 1500
[07:57] <xtknight> slavi1, oh i didnt know that
[07:57] <mayankjain1> is there something like pkd_add
[07:57] <Fryguy--> Jcink: no it's not
[07:57] <mayankjain1> on ubantu ?
[07:57] <Fryguy--> Jcink: flash works fine in 64-bit
[07:57] <wers> how do I install a .run file
[07:57] <wers> ?
[07:57] <Fryguy--> mayankjain1: apt-get
[07:57] <pwuertz> Whtiger: yes.. because the packets going out from your system behind the NAT are enlarged and thrown away
[07:57] <shatong> is Virtualbox okay to use now in hardy heron?
[07:57] <Fryguy--> wers: ./nameoffile.run
[07:57] <Fryguy--> shatong: sure
[07:57] <pen> anyone here know about xvkbd?
[07:57] <pen> what is the key for left?
[07:57] <xtknight> virtualbox is fine
[07:57] <merula> Jcink, hmm... it might not have moved the plugin to the correct location.  Check the install instructions and redo the installation. -- What I meant by "64-bit having issues" is that flashplayer 9 has issues auto-installing on 64-bit ubuntu period.
[07:58] <xtknight> wers, type chmod +x ./file.run  , and then ./file.run
[07:58] <mayankjain1> apt-get install from net
[07:58] <pwuertz> Whtiger, Fryguy--: yep, so we just need to find out why Whtigers router is not doing MTU clamping
[07:58] <nickolaus_> Is there a search app for ubuntu that allows me to search for image files?
[07:58] <mayankjain1> right?
[07:58] <shatong> Fryguy-- : the last time i used Virtualbox in hardy it can't find the modules it needs so I compiled virtualbox from source and it messed up my ubuntu system
[07:58] <Fryguy--> mayankjain1: apt-get installs from wherever you have it configured to install from
[07:58] <Syntux> mayankjain1, right
[07:58] <xtknight> mayankjain, not if you enable apt-cdrom entries in /etc/apt/sources.list and run sudo apt-get update thereafter
[07:58] <slavi1> mtu for dsl is like 1486, no?
[07:58] <Fryguy--> mayankjain1: see /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:58] <wers> ooh. thanks xtknight. what is chmod for?
[07:58] <Fryguy--> slavi1: for pppoe it is
[07:58] <xtknight> wers this gives you executable permissions for the file
[07:59] <slavi1> wers: man chmod
[07:59] <mayankjain1> ok..
[07:59] <berkelep> how to upgrade from gutsy to hardy?
[07:59] <xtknight> wers not every user can execute certain files, it is a security thing
[07:59] <merula> So, I'm trying to change out my icons in Gnome on Hardy.  Any help?  I have no idea how to swap them out.
[07:59] <xtknight> merula, flash 9 used to have issues with 64-bit.  Hardy Heron makes these issues transparent
[07:59] <nickolaus_> Is there a search app for ubuntu that allows me to search for image files?
[07:59] <wers> oh yah. thanks xtknight
[07:59] <Fryguy--> berkelep: http://www.forwardyouth.com/ubuntu/upgrade-from-gutsy-to-hardy/
[07:59] <mayankjain1> what is the compete command fro apkt-get
[07:59] <slavi1> berkelep: the update applet should tell you
[07:59] <Fryguy--> nickolaus_: try tracker
[07:59] <Jcink> merula and Fryguy-- , he somehow had flashblock installed... just deleted it.  sorry to bother you guys when it was that stupid. thanks anyway
[07:59] <mayankjain1> apt-get install <pkg_name >
[07:59] <xtknight> mayankjain, sudo apt-get install build-essential  ?
[07:59] <berkelep> Fryguy--: thanks.
[07:59] <Fryguy--> mayankjain1: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:59] <slavi1> mayankjain1: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[08:00] <mayankjain1> ok.
[08:00] <merula> xtknight, then explain how I've got adobe flash 9 and it refuses to load onto my 64-bit firefox.
[08:00] <xtknight> merula, i am not sure.
[08:00] <kantor> hi, why are the md5sums from Ubuntu  8.04 CD  ISO and 8.04.1 the same ??
[08:00] <Fryguy--> merula: no idea, it works fine for most people
[08:00] <merula> Jcink, No prob man. It's all good.
[08:00] <Whtiger> pwuertz: thank you! The MTU default was too low
[08:00] <ubunubi> nickolaus_:   locate *.jpg
[08:00] <xtknight> merula, it worked for my 64bit, run firefox from the console and see if there's errors?
[08:00] <xtknight> merula, and are you using flash from the repositoriies?
[08:01] <pwuertz> Whtiger: too low? I assumed it was too high ;)
[08:01] <kantor>  Ubuntu  8.04 and 8.04.1 is exactly the same ? ?
[08:01] <pwuertz> Whtiger: whatever works for you ;)
[08:01] <merula> Fryguy-- && xtknight, I have not installed it from the repositories. What's the package name?
[08:01] <Fryguy--> kantor: pretty much
[08:01] <xtknight> kantor, 8.04.1 is a rollup of updates
[08:01] <Fryguy--> merula: flashplugin-nonefree or something
[08:01] <xtknight> that you can get from installing 7.04
[08:01] <xtknight> 8.04*
[08:01] <Whtiger> pwuertz: well, then maybe it was too high, but I set it to 1500 and it works now
[08:01] <Whtiger> which was the top of the range
[08:01] <pwuertz> Whtiger: great!
[08:02] <Flannel> kantor: 8.04.1 only exists separately as ISOs, installed systems are identical once you update
[08:02] <xtknight> merula, yup flashplugin-nonfree
[08:02] <Whtiger> pwuertz: either way, thanks for pointing me in the right direction =)
[08:02] <kantor> because I checked the md5sums and are the same, that means that the ISO's are the same
[08:02] <Flannel> kantor: Where did you get your ISOs?
[08:02] <merula> Fryguy--, "already the newest version." -- Refuses to hook into my version of firefox it seems.  I can't do anything on youtube. (I'm not really missing it, but sometimes the g/f sends me video links... >.> )
[08:02] <neil_d> it would be handy if a 'update' like 8.04.1 was done every few months.
[08:02] <Flannel> neil_d: Six months
[08:03] <Fryguy--> neil_d: every april and october
[08:03] <kantor> from the main server http://releases.ubuntu.com/ Flannel
[08:03] <Flannel> Fryguy--: No, July and January
[08:03] <Flannel> kantor: What md5s do you have?
[08:03] <kantor> Flannel, I feel a little strange to se that 8.04 and 8.04.1 is exactly binary equal . . .
[08:03] <nickolaus_> ubunubi nope.
[08:03] <ubunubi> nickolaus_: what type of pictures are you trying to find
[08:04] <Fryguy--> Flannel: april and october, hence why the version number is (last number of year of relese) dot (month of release),  and they are always .04 and .10
[08:04] <kantor> Flannel, http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/MD5SUMS and  http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/MD5SUMS
[08:04] <Fryguy--> Flannel: for the past 2 years at least
[08:04] <Flannel> Fryguy--: No, those are full releases.  Point releases for LTS are July (this one) and six months from now, so January
[08:04] <jneves> anyone having problems with pidgin vs msn? Mine stopped connecting last week (for at least 5 days now)
[08:05] <ompaul> HI _ I am about to do my once a week clean out of the ban list, this __WILL__ cause some scrolling - please hold tight for a moment or you will be lost in the storm
[08:06] <Starnestommy> eep.
[08:06] <ompaul> Done
[08:06] <Flannel> kantor: You'll notice that those are both 8.04.1 ISOs (check the filename).  I'm not sure you can get 8.04 anymore on the officials
[08:06] <neil_d> quite a few there
[08:06] <ariqs> is there an open source fireworks screensaver backpage for ubuntu? for july 4th and all
[08:06] <wers> i got this "Consider setting TMPDIR to a directory with more free space."
[08:06] <ariqs> backpage - package.
[08:06] <wers> how do I do that?
[08:07] <Fryguy--> wers: export TMPDIR=/location/of/a/huge/drive
[08:07] <ompaul> wers, you need a partition with space on it
[08:08] <Madpilot> ariqs, there is a fireworks screensaver in Ubuntu already - check the Screensaver setup
[08:08] <berkelep> attempting to upgrade from gutsy to hardy using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. this only upgrades to the latest release of gutsy. suggestions?
[08:08] <wers> Fryguy--, so I do TMPDIR=hda1?
[08:08] <ompaul> !update | berkelep
[08:08] <Fryguy--> wers: no, it has to be a mount location
[08:08] <xtknight> wers, you have to mount hda1 to a directory,. and then point it to the directory to which you mounted hda1
[08:08] <Fryguy--> wers: do you have /tmp mounted as a separate partition
[08:09] <Fryguy--> berkelep: what is wrong with the link i gave you
[08:09] <wers> Fryguy--, so TMDIR=/home?
[08:09] <ompaul> wers, pastebin /etc/fstab and then talk about it
[08:09] <ompaul> !pastebin | wers
 what is it called? I don't see it
[08:09] <nutmeg_> I'm looking to get a 3D card for my machine (running ubuntu 8.04 + latest updates from apt-get).  Is there anything I should know about adding hardware to my system?  Will it automagically be detected, configured and "just work" or will I need to explicitly install drivers?
[08:09] <berkelep> Fryguy--: installing on a remote server w/out gui interface.
[08:10] <jneves> nutmeg_: depends on the card you buy
[08:10] <Fryguy--> nutmeg_: if you get nvidia, and not a 9000 series, you will be prompted to install a driver, but the process should be painless
[08:10] <Madpilot> arqis, Skyrocket
[08:10] <Fryguy--> berkelep: so edit sources.list to point to hardy, sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:11] <ariqs> ah, thanks. I went by that cause it starts out with no fireworks
[08:11] <kantor> Flannel, yes you've right in the 8.04 folder are still  8.04.1 ISO's
[08:11] <xtknight> !info xfireworks
[08:11] <xtknight> i wonder how you're supposed to use this thing
[08:11] <wers> ompaul, what command do I run?
[08:11] <_mika> hi, anyone who use audacity ? i need a little help, is it possible to save automatically every 1 gb of wav while is recording
[08:12] <nutmeg_> I am looking at an nVidia GeForce 6200 AGP8x, as it's the one most easily available in the shops near me; I recently got burned trying to buy one online so would rather buy from an actual shop.
[08:12] <ompaul> wers, for? to see the contents of /etc/fstab type cat /etc/fstab
[08:12] <Fryguy--> nutmeg_: should be fine
[08:12] <JbCrash> what application i should use to open .ppt file (powerpoint file ) in linux?
[08:12] <ompaul> wers, or also useful at this point would be df -h
[08:12] <Fryguy--> JbCrash: openoffice
[08:12] <xtknight> JbCrash, openoffice impress
[08:12] <Madpilot> ariqs, Skyrocket is kind of interesting - flight sim + fireworks :)
[08:13] <nutmeg_> If I'm prompted to install a driver, where do I get it?  Do nVidia provide ubuntu / generic linux drivers for their cards?
[08:13] <nutmeg_> ... in the box
[08:13] <Fryguy--> nutmeg_: it's in ubuntu, the process will be automatic
[08:13] <wers> ompaul, xtknight http://paste.ubuntu.com/25151/
[08:14] <nutmeg_> Fryguy--: Thanks for putting my mind at ease.
[08:14] <wers> ompaul, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25152/
[08:15] <Fryguy--> wers: and what are you doing that is asking you about TMPDIR?
[08:15] <ompaul> wers, get a new hard drive your machine is tooooooo full
[08:15] <ompaul> wers, you could set this
[08:15] <Fryguy--> mkdir /home/allan/tmp && export TMPDIR=/home/allan/tmp
[08:15] <rand0m> if i "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" will that overwrite my current desktop setup like panels & what not, or just add more stuff to menus & change the window manager ?
[08:15] <Fryguy--> rand0m: option 2
[08:16] <ompaul> wers, as Fryguy-- said
[08:16] <orbisvicis> where is the apache directive that aliases phpmyadmin ?
[08:16] <orbisvicis> if installed from synaptic
[08:16] <wers> Fryguy--, mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/allan/tmp': File exists
[08:17] <Fryguy--> wers: ok, so then just export TMPDIR=/home/allan/tmp
[08:17] <ompaul> wers, then do part 2
[08:17] <arooni> is there a veoh tv client for linux?
[08:17] <pan__> has anyone tried adding in grub kernal profile?
[08:17] <wers> Fryguy-- ompaul thanks. time to install WoP
[08:17] <rand0m> Fryguy--, haha thanks yet again sir, do you ever sleep ?
[08:17] <Fryguy--> rand0m: no
[08:17] <thomas89> någon svensk här ?
[08:18] <Fryguy--> !swedish | ?? i'm guessing
[08:18] <pretender> have just installed enlightenment desktop.  very fast but where do i find the system menu->preferences->administration that is in standard ubuntu gnome
[08:18] <e-jat> anyone know y avant-navigator freeze when i move a cursor on it?
[08:19] <Fryguy--> e-jat: it freezes? or your whole X session freezes? or what? does it unfreeze if you move the mouse away?
[08:19] <RudyValencia> Hi, I installed xUbuntu on my Ubuntu server edition installation and I'm trying to remove it. If I remove the "xubuntu-desktop" package it doesn't remove anything.
[08:19] <e-jat> Fryguy--, nope //
[08:19] <e-jat> only the avant
[08:19] <e-jat> recently happen .. previously it working well
[08:20] <e-jat> my X session ok ..
[08:20] <e-jat> only the avant
[08:20] <Fryguy--> e-jat: run avant from a terminal, and then mouse over it and make it freeze and see if you get any debug output in the terminal
[08:20] <Fryguy--> RudyValencia: try running apt-get autoremove
[08:20] <OltreIrc`48214> ciao
[08:21] <jscinoz> hmm
 sudo /mount /dev/sda1 /media/store
[08:21] <jscinoz> this is annoying >_<
[08:22] <jscinoz> Ubuntu
[08:22] <e-jat> Fryguy--, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25153/
[08:22] <akuma55> its not working for me
[08:22] <merula> jscinoz, what's annoying?
[08:22] <RudyValencia> Fryguy--: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[08:22] <Fryguy--> akuma55: k? it's sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/store
[08:22] <wers> RudyValencia, pinoy?
[08:22] <jscinoz> Ubuntu's grub-pc seems to have a too large kernel.img, and thus when i try to make core.img wiht the modules needed to boot when /boot is on lvm-on-raid, its bigger than the 32k limit
[08:22] <Fryguy--> e-jat: change your theme recently?
[08:22] <RudyValencia> wers: no
[08:23] <Fryguy--> RudyValencia: no idea, sorry
[08:23] <RudyValencia> Hm.
[08:23] <jscinoz> merula, on other distro's the kernel.img is smaller so you can fit pc + lvm + raid + biosdisk + ext2 in <32k, but with ubuntu's kernel.img it comes to 34k and cant fit in the MBR >_<
 that dont work ether
[08:23] <e-jat> Fryguy--, u mean avant theme ?
[08:23] <xaustenx> so, i got EnvyNG to help me with updating my drivers for my Nvidia gfx card, and it installed some newer version than the one that 8.04 hardy does, but it doesn't seem to work as well.. do i need to unistall this one before i revert back to the stock one with 8.04?
[08:23] <Fryguy--> e-jat: or system theme, whatever
[08:23] <e-jat> Fryguy--, nope ..
[08:24] <pan__> xaustenx:get envyNG
[08:24] <e-jat> but my X crash for a while n i've fix it ..
[08:24] <xaustenx> i have envyNG
[08:24] <Fryguy--> e-jat: ?
[08:24] <e-jat> Fryguy--, i mean .. i havent change my theme either ..
[08:25] <xaustenx> what i'm saying is it installed some driver that doesn't seem to render things as well as the restricted one
[08:25] <Fryguy--> e-jat: dunno what to tell you. try deleting all of your avant settings from your home directory (probaly ~/.avant, i have no idea), and try again
 you got my lst message
[08:25] <Fryguy--> akuma55: then you need to elaborate on the problem "it doesn't work" doesn't mean anything to me
[08:26] <akuma55> i was just asking
[08:27] <Fryguy--> 03:23:49    akuma55| its not working for me
[08:27] <Fryguy--> that's not asking anything..
[08:27] <merula> alright, night folks.
[08:27] <Fryguy--> you need to help me help you
[08:28] <akuma55> do you know why it probly not working?
[08:28] <Fryguy--> akuma55: without an error message or anything, i have no idea
[08:29] <akuma55> sudo: /mount: command not found
[08:29] <Fryguy--> akuma55: i already told you, it's sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/store
[08:29] <f3rr311> hello
[08:29] <jacovt> Hello guys.

[08:30] <f3rr311> any one that feel like helping me with a  couple  of problems
[08:30] <Fryguy--> akuma55: please pay attention.  sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/store
[08:30] <Fryguy--> !ask | f3rr311
[08:30] <f3rr311> nm
[08:30] <Mayank> sure
[08:30] <nutmeg_> akuma55: Fryguy-- made a typo the first time.  There is no / in front of mount
[08:30] <Mayank> let us know
[08:31] <akuma55> thanx
[08:31] <Fryguy--> nutmeg_: no i didn't lol. i've typed it right at least the last 3 times i've typed it
[08:31] <Dethnull> does anyone happen to know how to reset the bios ona  laptop.. that you cant get into any OS atm..
 sorry i o you alot
[08:31] <Fryguy--> Dethnull: when you boot, del, ins, f1, or f12 are common keys to bring up the bios
[08:32] <Mayank> hey what ubuntu use to identify the application
[08:32] <sonicjosh> I have a firewall set to start with ubuntu but ubuntu requires my password for it to start, is there a way for it to not require the password to start the firewall
[08:32] <Tul|y> any1 know why my wg511t wont connect to my router, i installed the new madwifi drivers 2ce now, still nothing, everything checks out but yet i cant connect, anyone had this issue before or know a solution?
[08:32] <Mayank> is it port based ?
[08:32] <Fryguy--> Dethnull: and most bioses have a load fail safe defaults
[08:32] <Dethnull> there is a pass on the bios
[08:32] <Fryguy--> Dethnull: then hit up google for using the debug command in windows to reset the bios
[08:32] <Dethnull> alright i'll check that out thanks
[08:32] <Fryguy--> sonicjosh: what firewall
[08:32] <Rapha> some one know if Red Hat Server ENterprise 5 CD1 intall the System? Or I need more CD?
[08:32] <Mayank> ca any one let me know
[08:33] <Fryguy--> Rapha: wrong channel
[08:33] <Fryguy--> Mayank: ?
[08:33] <sonicjosh> ﻿Fryguy--: firestarter
[08:33] <Mayank> for identifying the traffic what ubuntu do
[08:33] <jacovt> I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu 8.04 with Windows XP. Problem is that the Ubuntu installer does  not seem to recognize that I have existing partitions on my disk, and the options I get when running the partitioner is only to use the full disk, or manually create new partitions. I do have a XP partition, and a FreeBSD partition on the drive, and I would like to replace this FreeBSD partition with an Ubuntu installation. Any ideas?
[08:33] <nutmeg_> Sorry Fryguy, my bad.  Saw this : "<akuma55> | <Fryguy--> sudo /mount /dev/sda1 /media/store" and got confused.
[08:33] <Fryguy--> sonicjosh: how did you i nstall it? as far as I know it doesn't prompt for a password
[08:33] <Mayank> is it port based
[08:33] <Tul|y> jacovt, just use the wubi installer
[08:34] <sonicjosh> ﻿Fryguy--: add/remove
[08:34] <Mayank> Fryguy
[08:34] <Mayank> can you tell me
[08:34] <Fryguy--> Mayank: what is identifying the traffic? different applications do different things, some rely on ports, some do stateful packet inspection, some do stateless packet instruction
[08:34] <jacovt> Tul|y: That was my next option, but I would really like to know the cause of this problem... :)
[08:34] <Rapha> the problam about ubuntu 8.04 dont find my CD-ROM driver and I dont install
[08:34] <Fryguy--> sonicjosh: no idea why it's prompting you for a password
[08:34] <Mayank> what is stateful packet inspection
[08:35] <Fryguy--> jacovt: try using gparted livecd to set up the partitions before booting ubuntu
[08:35] <Fryguy--> Mayank: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateful_firewall
[08:35] <Tul|y> jacovt, i'd say best bet is to remove the freebsd partition with another prog like partition magic ect. then either use wubi or install it manually yourself
[08:35] <jacovt> Fryguy--: You mean, create and actualy ext3 partition beforehand? :)
[08:35] <[gnubie]> hello all.. i have a running ubuntu 8.04 lts.. i remember that there is a way to OEM ubuntu installation.. how can i access it from my desktop to create my customized ubuntu?
[08:35] <Fryguy--> jacovt: sure
[08:36] <Mayank> identifying traffic means to know weather packet coming belongs to which application
[08:36] <Fryguy--> [gnubie]: it's in the f4 menu i think
[08:36] <pan__> what is dccchat?
[08:37] <Fryguy--> pan__: a mechanism for direct connecting to another user for chatting
[08:37] <Mayank> thanks for link
[08:37] <[gnubie]> Fryguy--: what's the f4 menu?
[08:37] <pan__> it not necessary to chat using dcc chat?
[08:37] <Fryguy--> [gnubie]: on the livecd when you first boot
[08:37] <Fryguy--> pan__: no
[08:37] <Starnestommy> pan__: /msg works better
[08:37] <pan__> oh
[08:38] <jacovt> Tul|y, Fryguy--: Thanks, will have a look. ;)
[08:38] <[gnubie]> Fryguy--: ah.. but what i'm asking if i can do it on my existing ubuntu 8.04 lts desktop without rebooting from a livecd
[08:38] <Fryguy--> [gnubie]: no idea, sorry
[08:38] <[gnubie]> Fryguy--: it's ok.. thanks.. ;)
[08:39] <ubunubi> is it possible to use "ln" to create something that works like an NTFS junction for directories?
[08:39] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: what is an ntfs junction
[08:40] <Tul|y>  any1 know why my wg511t wont connect to my router, i installed the new madwifi drivers 2ce now, still nothing, everything checks out but yet i cant connect, anyone had this issue before or know a solution?
[08:40] <Fryguy--> Tul|y: try without any security enabled?
[08:41] <Tul|y> Fryguy--, i'll do it now
[08:41] <ubunubi> Fryguy--: a special entry into the file table that makes a directory reference a directory somewhere else on the disk, transparently (aka, if you have a junction between c:\DirectoryA and d:\directoryB..and a program is set to save data to DirectoryA, the data is really saved in DirectoryB)
[08:41] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: yes, that's what ln does
[08:42] <ubunubi> fryguy:: when i use it it creates a file link instead of replacing the directory itself
[08:42] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: if you add a file into the symblink it does into the target directory
[08:42] <Fryguy--> which is exactly what a junction is from the definition you just gave, what am i missing
[08:43] <ubunubi> fryguy:: i need the directory the symlink is in, to be the symlink, instead of a file
[08:43] <Fryguy--> oh
[08:43] <Fryguy--> you'll have to remove the directory and recreate it with a symlink
[08:45] <jscinoz> hi guys, I'm trying to use grub2 with /boot on lvm on raid. However grub-setup refuses to put core.img in the MBR saying its too big. however du says that the core.img is 32027B, while i believe the upper limit is 32256B, any ideas what im doing wrong?
[08:45] <xaustenx> when install new gfx card drivers, should i uninstall the old one first or does that not really matter in linux?

[08:58] <xaustenx> how exactly do i exit out of x server to install new nvidia drivers.. and come back in?
[08:59] <otwr> q: contribute to ubuntu-wordpress
[08:59] <Fryguy--> xaustenx: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop  then hit ctrl-alt-backspace, then ctrl-alt-f1 and you should get a prompt to do what you need.  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm start when you are done
[08:59] <Fryguy--> ripps: does amarok let you do it in it's settings menu?
[09:00] <Fryguy--> ripps: iphone but maybe similar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone#Amarok

[09:10] <Fryguy--> tj83: step on my toes? i don't know anything
[09:10] <shoeunited> Oh! One other question.  Will the extras in the repos for Pidgin work with the version from getdeb?  If anybody knows.  (I'll try it if not :)  )

[09:12] <ironporcupine> can someone help me to install gyachi ?
[09:12] <nickrud> Fryguy-- is one of those evil bsd'ers (last parting shot ;)
[09:13] <tj83> it really does hurt
[09:13] <ironporcupine> hello?
[09:13] <ackbahr> tj83: Have you tried hitting back?
[09:13] <ackbahr> ironporcupine: What's wrong?
[09:13] <tj83> ackbahr, no need... there is enough pain in windows
[09:13] <ironporcupine> help
[09:13] <zcat[1]> I'm actually pretty pissed off.. gnome used to have a nice dialog for selecting the default action when you inserted cds and dvds and vcd and mp3 players.... it was good. Some asshat decided gnome would be _easier_ to use if they removed all that. Yes, I filed a bug. Wontfix.
[09:13] <thrind> okk seriously this time, i own code that I want to contribute, where do I go
[09:14] <tj83> Fryguy--, will you atleast tell me why you do it?
[09:14] <ackbahr> ironporcupine: Be more specific
[09:14] <Fryguy--> tj83: because it works
[09:14] <ackbahr> zcat[1]: Same here

[09:17] <ackbahr> So any idea about this audio CD autoplay disabling?
[09:17] <ariqs> I am a windows fan.. sorta. Strictly at face value, windows xp and vista are superior to ubuntu. The thing ubuntu has going for it is it's free, open source, and easier to keep secure
[09:17] <ariqs> but ubuntu still drives me nuts ;P

[09:19] <zcat[1]> Guest8223: take a look in /etc/acpi/suspend.d/ ?
[09:19] <Guest8223> zcat[1], do I just put an executable script in there?
[09:19] <zcat[1]> somewhere along the line I made a script for my laptop that makes it remove and probe the b43 module so wireless gets restarted properly. I could go look and see how I did it..

[09:21] <zcat[1]> Peddy: cool. I think just look at the scripts that are there, then write something similar that does what you want.. the numbers are for the order things get done..
[09:21] <ironporcupine> hello?
[09:21] <Peddy> zcat[1]: I'll try that, thanks. Suspending.
[09:22] <Fryguy--> WhoNeedszzz: because everything else expects alsa or pulseaudio
[09:22] <Fryguy--> WhoNeedszzz: oss is old and deprecated
[09:22] <jussi01> ironporcupine: you need to give us more info - what is gyachi, and where did you get it from etc
[09:22] <WhoNeedszzz> Fryguy--: oss is not old, i have a new version

[09:45] <hangthedj> Fryguy--, Even when you apachectl stop and then start again?
[09:45] <Fryguy--> hangthedj: right
[09:46] <Flannel> me-so-stupid: It may never happen.  Backports aren't guarantees.
[09:46] <Peddy> can anyone tell me how /etc/acpi/resume.d scripts work? They aren't executed for some reason. Thanks.
[09:46] <fulhack> Peddy: Hm. Should it be listed as express card? In that case I guess I'm outta luck.
[09:46] <me-so-stupid> Flannel, kthx
[09:47] <hangthedj> Fryguy--, what happens when you telnet localhost:80?
[09:47] <Fryguy--> ah there we go i found it.  Upgrade or something change my config and there were 2 listen directives (found by: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CouldNotBindToAddress)

[09:56] <jussi01> !modem | jeeves_moss: there mabe something in here that helps
[09:56] <EliStuy> what did you clik to log in
[09:56] <MrWizeGuy1983> that's what i got Fryguy--
[09:56] <MrWizeGuy1983> just a desktop
[09:56] <MrWizeGuy1983> odd huh?
[09:56] <EliStuy> o ok
[09:56] <Fryguy--> EliStuy: you don't click anything, you should just get a usable desktop
[09:56] <jeeves_moss> jussi01, thanks.  I think it's one of those usless Intel modems that Toshiba packages.

[09:56] <EliStuy> thanks
[09:57] <Fryguy--> EliStuy: the login screen
[09:57] <Fryguy--> EliStuy: was it graphical? or console?
[09:57] <EliStuy> graphical
[09:57] <rubystallion> To enable my vpn connection I always have to enter my root password. Can I change that?
[09:57] <Fryguy--> EliStuy: very weird, there is no graphical login on the livecd that i am aware of
[09:57] <EliStuy> it was like a regular desktop login
[09:58] <Fryguy--> rubystallion: you can take a look at the documentation for sudo and the sudoes file to add specific exceptions.  nobody here is going to have exact syntax for you to do this though, the manpage for sudoers should be pretty helpful, and google should be able to get you in the right direction as well
[09:58] <EliStuy> i downloaded 8.04.1 yesterday... is their anyway it might have changed?
[09:58] <Fryguy--> EliStuy: you can try "ubuntu" with no password, but you really shouldn't be getting that

[10:00] <Fryguy--> MrWizeGuy1983: ok?
[10:00] <Ryuho> yeah the only reason why i have 2gb swap allocated is because for hibernation
[10:00] <MrWizeGuy1983> ubuntu = good, vista = suck
[10:00] <Fryguy--> MrWizeGuy1983: i use vista, not ubuntu
[10:01] <Ryuho> i'm getting vista soon
[10:01] <Ryuho> for DX10
[10:01] <MrWizeGuy1983> Fryguy--: did you reconfigure your vista?
[10:01] <Fryguy--> MrWizeGuy1983: no
[10:01] <jussi01> !ot
[10:01] <Threepwood> hi guys
[10:01] <Fryguy--> jussi01: 1. the channel is dead 2. we are talking about memory usage of ubuntu
[10:02] <fulhack> Is there a way to simulate "the third mouse button" from GNOME? I know there was a way to do this a few years back.. How does one go about doing it nowadays? I have a touchpad with only two buttons.
[10:02] <Peddy> fulhack: sorry, I don't know :O
[10:02] <Fryguy--> fulhack: press both buttons at the same time
[10:02] <Ace2016> you have to do that in xorg, not in gnome
[10:02] <Peddy> fulhack: maybe look up your laptop specs
[10:02] <Fryguy--> fulhack: if that doesn't work, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the mouse section, add option "emulate3rdbutton" "true"
[10:02] <jussi01> Fryguy--: no, you were talking about vista -not ubuntu support - which is this channels topic
[10:02] <Peddy> ﻿can anyone tell me how /etc/acpi/resume.d scripts work? They aren't executed for some reason. Thanks.
[10:03] <jeeves_moss> jussi01, ok, that was fun, can you help me figure out WTF ths output file means?
[10:03] <MrWizeGuy1983> jussi01 we were talking about the comparison between ubuntu: good and vista: bad
[10:03] <MrWizeGuy1983> pay attention if you're going to scold people ;-)
[10:03] <fulhack> Peddy: Yeah.. I did, and it seems there should be a slot there.. Maybe I'm just stupid ;) Thanks a lot for the help anyways. That GUI was way cool. :)
[10:03] <fulhack> ah, thanks Fryguy--
[10:03] <Peddy> fulhack: NP, GL

[10:07] <crow> hi all
[10:08] <jeeves_moss> jussi01, I'm thinking it's related to the damn sound driver.  I have sound only on my speakers.  if I plug in my headphones, it cuts off
[10:08] <jeeves_moss> crow, hey
[10:09] <jussi01> jeeves_moss: sounds a little weird to me, Im not sure on a solution right now.
[10:09] <jeeves_moss> jussi01, ok, I'd REALY like to get this fax done tonight without booting into windows though
[10:09] <crow> hi, jeeves_moss.
[10:09] <crow> do u know how to config X3270?

[10:11] <definitely>  ....... And that's from 4 to 24
[10:11] <Jerum> I have a Question
[10:12] <Jerum> is ist illegal to crack a Wep and use the internet of it?
[10:12] <Fryguy--> Jerum: yes
[10:12] <bazhang> Jerum, yes
[10:12] <Jerum> ok thx:)
[10:12] <bazhang> np
[10:13] <Jerum> is it eazy to find, wehre the cracker can be?
[10:13] <Fryguy--> Jerum: yes
[10:13] <Jerum> why?:P
[10:13] <livingdaylight> question: i've lost sound when looking at youtube.... i've rebooted and i have sound on startup and when playing other media, but i can't watch youtube with sound any more??? anyone?
[10:13] <Fryguy--> Jerum: signal strength varies with distance from access point
[10:13] <Jerum> ah ok
[10:13] <siloko> the last update includes libnspr4 which apt is giving an error attempting to overwrite - is this a known problem?
[10:13] <Ryuho> livingdaylight: there are some commands that will probably fix that
[10:13] <bazhang> Jerum, this is offtopic for here
[10:14] <definitely> :((
[10:14] <Ryuho> i just can't remember off the top of my head
[10:14] <Jerum> ok:P i look for taht
[10:14] <Jerum> thx
[10:14] <Juozapas> livingdaylight: apt-get libflashsupport. it helped for me
[10:14] <livingdaylight> Ryuho: oh.... it was working only yesterday, i don't know how it would have got broken; can you help me fix it anywyas?
[10:14] <livingdaylight> Juozapas: gracias
[10:14] <Jerum> i though always  a vpn cnnection and mac changing is enough
[10:15] <Ryuho> amarok (my music player) sometimes takes over the sound and it hogs the sound from firefox plugin from accessing
[10:15] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: use alsa-oss with firefox
[10:15] <livingdaylight> Fryguy--: i'm using Opera... but i went back to Epiphany and it still doesn't work
[10:15] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: make a file in /etc/firefox-3 called firefoxrc  and put FIREFOX_DSP=aoss in it
[10:15] <philsf> does any know the difference between -v and -hh in rsync? they seem to provide the same result
[10:15] <Juozapas> Ryuho: the same problem as mine. libflashsupport helped
[10:15] <Ryuho> really now...
[10:15] <Ryuho> i should install that, thanks
[10:16] <livingdaylight> Juozapas: it was all working before without having to install libflashsupport
[10:16] <Ronald> Juozapas: to have FF crash every 3rth flash loaded
[10:16] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: you'll have to look around for documentation on enabling alsa-oss for another browser
[10:17] <Ronald> flash doesn't get along with pulseaudio
[10:17] <livingdaylight> Fryguy--: but it was never an issue before. Either in Firefox or Epiphany... have we installed updates in the last couple days that have borked youtube which worked fine before?
[10:17] <compu73rg33k> I installed firefox32, but the icon isn't associated with the program. Is there any way to associate the firefox logo with the program when it's in the applications list and in window list
[10:17] <Juozapas> my problem come with hardy. when i played amarok ant some flash (youtube) via ff
[10:17] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: maybe, i don't know
[10:17] <livingdaylight> Juozapas: yes, but this is after a fresh reboot even....
[10:18] <Juozapas> yeah... i just can recommend try that
[10:18] <Ryuho> i forgot what esd does
[10:18] <Ryuho> but it's suppose to help with audio problems
[10:18] <Peddy> ﻿can anyone tell me how /etc/acpi/resume.d scripts work? They aren't executed after resuming for some reason. Thanks.
[10:19] <Fryguy--> Ryuho: esd is a software sound mixer, part of the enlightenment desktop that was ported to other desktops because of it's usability, it has been widely deprecated with the addition of dmix to alsa
[10:19] <Fryguy--> Ryuho: it stands for enlightenment sound daemon
[10:19] <Ryuho> oic.. since i have alsa.. it's kinda useless huh
[10:19] <bullgard4> [Hardy] I have got a "SC
[10:20] <Xerxes> I had a question about multicore chips.  I run a java client and in the task manager it often takes up 50% and stops, I assume it's maxing one of the cores, how do I allocate more CPU speed to my java program?
[10:20] <bullgard4> [Hardy] I have got a "SCSI low-level driver for Intel PIIX/ICH ATA controllers". What does 'PIIX/ICH' stand for?
[10:20] <Ronald> Xerxes: cannot
[10:20] <Fryguy--> Xerxes: if the applicaton you are running is single threaded, then it can only use 1 processor
[10:20] <Fryguy--> Xerxes: if the application is able to use more than 1 processor, then it will
[10:21] <livingdaylight> is Ubuntu really ready for the Desktop in 2008?
[10:21] <Xerxes> that sucks, I need to buy a single core opteron then :/
[10:21] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: probably not
[10:21] <livingdaylight> can't even install ubuntu and watch youtube
[10:21] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: most people can
[10:21] <dr_Willis> livingdaylight,  it works better on my laptop then windows does.
[10:21] <Juozapas> it works better everywhere z]
[10:21] <livingdaylight> Fryguy--: including myself a day ago, but its borked for no reason at all
[10:22] <livingdaylight> dr_Willis: you're just saying that
[10:22] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: and i told you how to fix it, so what is the problem?
[10:22] <dr_Willis> livingdaylight,  flash issues are the not the fault of Ubuntu. Since ubntu has no controll over the flash code.
[10:22] <Ronald> Fryguy--: it should be working out of the box, thats "desktop ready"
[10:22] <livingdaylight> dr_Willis: same difference; either way ubuntu is not ready if i can't watch youtube... it really shouldnt be a big deal and it was working only yesterday. so what happened?
[10:22] <Fryguy--> Ronald: and like i said, it's probably not desktop ready
[10:23] <livingdaylight> i thought linux was 'stable'?
[10:23] <livingdaylight> Fryguy--: i use alsa
[10:23] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: it is
[10:23] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: and flash uses oss
[10:23] <bazhang> livingdaylight, it is a problem with adobe not linux
[10:23] <dr_Willis> livingdaylight,  no idea. go ask the flash guys.   ask them where flash for my 64bit linux is at while you are at it.
[10:23] <Ronald> bazhang: wrong. its the users problem, he wants youtube
[10:23] <Fryguy--> dr_Willis: nswrapper
[10:23] <Ronald> and gutsy had no problem, so its a regression
[10:23] <dr_Willis> I wonder when flash became a 'critical' need.
[10:24] <bazhang> indeed.
[10:24] <Tux2K81> hello , I've installed FF3 from the mozzile website (not repositories).. in that case, how do I install any plugins???
[10:24] <Ronald> dr_Willis: it is in my book of desktop readyness ;)
[10:24] <livingdaylight> dr_Willis: i would but it was working fine a day ago. I never had this problem in gutsy which was a more cutting edge release. Hardy is supposed to be hardy but its flakey and falling apart every other day... stop blaming everyone else
[10:24] <Fryguy--> Tux2K81: http://addons.mozilla.org/
[10:25] <bazhang> livingdaylight, this getting offtopic.
[10:25] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: we already told you how to fix the problem.  is there something else we can help you with
[10:25] <Tux2K81> Fryguy--: but the quicktime plug-ins arent there , so for the mearntime I cant see any apple trailers
[10:25] <livingdaylight> Fryguy--: what? alsa-oss?
[10:25] <dr_Willis> livingdaylight,  sure.. like the last 'icq' quit working with Pidgin issue... that was our fault. goodbye this is over.
[10:25] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: yes
[10:26] <Fryguy--> dr_Willis: actually that was icqs fault, they changed their protocol and broke every single 3rd party client, linux, mac, windows, solaris, bsd, whatever
[10:26] <livingdaylight> Fryguy--: ok, please tell me again what do i do with alsa-oss to fix it.. i've gone into System>preferece>Sound and changed everythingto alsa ages ago... things were working and have stopped working since this morning... what do i do, please?
[10:26] <dr_Willis> Fryguy--,  :) yes. thats the point.
[10:27] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: you install alsa-oss, and add FIREFOX_DSP=aoss to /etc/firefox-3/firefoxrc (you have to create the file, it won't exist)
[10:27] <dew> is it possible to convince ubuntu to log into the gnome desktop automatically?
[10:27] <Myrtti> yes
[10:27] <dew> excellent, any idea how? ;)
[10:27] <plouffe> How can I find out my local IP address on Ubuntu? The 192.168.x.x one?
[10:27] <bazhang> dew yes in sessions at login window
[10:27] <livingdaylight> Fryguy--: i use Opera and epiphany
[10:27] <Fryguy--> dew: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_beginner_books/unofficial_ubuntu_starter_guide/index_066.html
[10:27] <Fryguy--> dew: http://blog.grprakash.com/2006/11/08/auto-login-in-ubuntu/
[10:27] <dew> ah lovely job, cheers bazhang
[10:27] <bazhang> np
[10:28] <dew> and fryguy ;)
[10:28] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: you'll have to hit google to figure out how to enable alsa-oss for those browsers
[10:28] <Flannel> dew: Login Screen Setup, theres an automatic login option
[10:28] <livingdaylight> i'm sure i wouldn't have this issue with suse or pclos or mandriva or fedora....
[10:28] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: i unfortunately don't have the configurations for those memorized, since i don't use them
[10:29] <dew> aha nice, there's even a nice gui for it, cheers ;)
[10:29] <crow> does anyone hear about Mark Coleran? I'm crazy about his screen design. i wanna know all his screen ui been made. if u ever wathed The island, imposible mission, and so on. you would see the screen ui, very cool, program ui!
[10:29] <Juozapas> yesterday i changed alsa to oss and there is no problems with both
[10:29] <plouffe> How can I find out my local IP address on Ubuntu? The 192.168.x.x one? Something like ipconfig for XP.
[10:29] <bazhang> ifconfig plouffe
[10:29] <Fryguy--> plouffe: ifconfig
[10:29] <plouffe> thx

[10:31] <ubunubi> EliStuy: there should be no login on the livecd, should auto-log you in as a LiveCD Session
[10:32] <morbyte> bullgard4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I/O_Controller_Hub
[10:32] <enry_> any idea??
[10:32] <ubunubi> bullgard4: ICH stands for I/O Control Hub
[10:32] <Fryguy--> bullgard4: piix = pci ide/isa xcelerator, ich = i/o controller hub
[10:33] <bullgard4> morbyte, ubunubi, Fryguy-- Thank you very much for your help.
[10:33] <ubunubi> bullgard4: np

[10:34] <kartofelek> hi
[10:35] <bumblebee> Hello! I am trying to install ubuntu using the wubi(windows based ubuntu installer), entering my password, size 8 gb and wich harddrive i want it installed on. but after i start it comes and error and the installation stops. but it does not say why, anyone got an ida why? i use xp atm
[10:36] <Juozapas> bumblebee: boot ubuntu cd via bios, it's not so hard ;)
[10:36] <rand0m> trying to watch youtube videos in konqueror, i get a light grey window instead of the video.   ???
[10:36] <bazhang> bumblebee, you get the busybox login?
[10:36] <kartofelek> yeah, why to take long way
[10:36] <kartofelek> rand0m, you have no flash plugin
[10:37] <Fryguy--> rand0m: does about:plugins work in knoqueror? and if so, does it show flash as being installed?
[10:37] <rand0m> kartofelek, i figured that might be the case.. I know i installed it for firefox and opera.. figured it out just be installed for konq
[10:37] <kartofelek> rand0m you need to find the extension in mozilla folder
[10:38] <kartofelek> in konq settings find the extensions tab
[10:38] <kartofelek> let me check
[10:38] <kartofelek> yeah, plugins tab
[10:38] <morbyte> i need help configuring pulseaudio. vlc player gives me ﻿"pulse audio output error: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused"
[10:39] <bazhang> http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup morbyte
[10:39] <tech0007> morbyte: 'pulseaudio &' in terminal
[10:39] <kartofelek> and there is "netscape plugins" menu ... you need to specify the place it has to scan for proper plugins
[10:39] <morbyte> ty
[10:39] <bazhang> np
[10:40] <kartofelek> i don't know the exact paths as I use Debian ... you need to look for it or google it
[10:40] <Peddy> ﻿﻿can anyone tell me how /etc/acpi/resume.d scripts work? They aren't executed after resuming for some reason. Thanks.
[10:41] <Sertse> tinkering with my other comp doing a min install. What is something light, yet has "system" stuff included? Currently it only has "just" a wm.. and I doubt I want to search for a package config each thing itself..
[10:41] <Fryguy--> Sertse: what?
[10:41] <bazhang> Sertse, you want a complete package of apps and such?
[10:41] <rand0m> kartofelek, hmm im not quite sure what i do in that tab
[10:42] <rand0m> i scanned for new plugins but it finds nothing, even when i go to the firefox folders
[10:42] <morbyte> hm. what is pulseaudio anyway?
[10:42] <petar20> does a dvd need to be mounted in order to burn it? its a blank dvd9
[10:42] <dr_Willis> !pulse
[10:42] <Fryguy--> morbyte: a client/server architecture for audio playback
[10:42] <kartofelek> rand0m try to find the mozilla plugins path in google
[10:43] <morbyte> ah. and alsa is the layer between hardware and pulse ?
[10:43] <dr_Willis> morbyte,  i normally have to set my various players to use alsa , instead of pulseaudio, unless im using gnome.
[10:43] <dr_Willis> morbyte,  yep - sonmthing like that
[10:43] <RedWolf> Hi guys, everyimte I run the update manager it just sits there Frozen. What can I do to fix this, or force updates through the Terminal?
[10:43] <definitely> Conky: /home/definitely/.conkyrc: 21: no such configuration: '${font'
 Conky: /home/definitely/.conkyrc: 22: no such configuration: '${font'
[10:43] <RedWolf> I've already run sudo apt-get upgrade, and sudo apt-get update
[10:43] <nick_server> Hi,On  my system  ubuntu 8.04 hardy , grub is loading but when ubuntu progress bar comes it scrolls for some time and then halts? how to resolve this?
[10:43] <Fryguy--> RedWolf: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade in terminal
[10:43] <definitely> anyone can help me ?
[10:43] <morbyte> dr_Willis: ty. im using gnome. so ...
[10:43] <Fryguy--> definitely: try #conky
[10:43] <dr_Willis> RedWolf,  one normally updates, then upgrades.
[10:43] <definitely> Fryguy--: everyone are sleeping in that channel ;
[10:44] <Fryguy--> nick_server: anything in /var/log/messages
[10:44] <RedWolf> :\ I ran those but it still shows upgrades on the  Update manager
[10:44] <arcsky> if i want to add a test.txt into my tar file monkey.tar.gz without a new package operation, how do i do that ?
[10:44] <dr_Willis> Conky - has a decent web site with forum/faq/examples last i looked.
[10:44] <nick_server> Fryguy--, not checked
[10:44] <dr_Willis> RedWolf,  could be the update manager is confused. after you do update/upgrade.. you should be up to date
[10:44] <berkelep> Fryguy--: thanks for the upgrade info awhile ago. i'm receiving the error sendmail: fatal: no login name found for user ID 1100 when i try to access /etc/passwd. this poses a problem because that's where i would edit the users. suggestions?
[10:45] <Fryguy--> berkelep: what are you doing and why
[10:45] <RedWolf> dr_Willis, How can I clea that out?
[10:45] <nils__> ver tsirc.dyn.pl
[10:45] <Sertse> Well I'm "just" on xorg and icewm atm on my other comp. Which doesn't really have anything to edit mouse/power/network etc etc as you know.  unlike a normal install which gives you everything in system-prefs/administration.
[10:45] <dr_Willis> RedWolf,  no idea. I normally disable that annoying nag icon. I dont need it to remind me. I update/upgrade once a week anyway.
[10:45] <berkelep> trying to fix the things webmin screwed up i.e., remove users that have the same user ids
[10:45] <Fryguy--> Sertse: you can use the command line tools and manual config editing to set all of that if you want
[10:45] <RedWolf> rofl okay so how can I disable th enag icon
[10:46] <bazhang> Sertse, then you might want something that is configured out of the box like fluxbuntu or xubuntu, then switch the wm
[10:46] <Fryguy--> you can't have a minimal install with a full feature configuration interface. Those are contradicting goals
[10:46] <ubunubi> !md5sum
[10:46] <Fryguy--> berkelep: so use userdel
[10:46] <bumblebee> Hello! I am trying to install ubuntu using the wubi(windows based ubuntu installer), entering my password, size 8 gb and wich harddrive i want it installed on. but when i start the installation it cant download something and the installation stops.. can someone please help me out
[10:46] <Fryguy--> berkelep: you shouldn't be editing /etc/passwd manually unless you know what you are doing
[10:46] <bazhang> bumblebee, you get the busybox login?
[10:47] <Fryguy--> deja vu
[10:47] <Sertse> haha, thought that'll be whereit ends up. thanks :)
[10:47] <bazhang> indeed.
[10:47] <bumblebee> bazhang is that where i set my pw etc?
[10:48] <dr_Willis> bumblebee,  wubi is really not reccomended. (and i dont use it) but you may want to try to defrag/scandisk the windows drive. then try the installer again
[10:48] <dr_Willis> bumblebee,  and you do have 8gb of free space right?
[10:48] <bazhang> bumblebee, no; that means the hdd did not mount and you have to do so from there-->what exact error message do you get
[10:48] <bumblebee> dr_Willis yes i do
[10:49] <berkelep> Fryguy--: the user no longer exists. not possible to delete it with userdel. i had been adding users by editing /etc/passwd and it was working fine; then i installed webmin, and it started creating users with the same ids as the existing users. now cleaning up the mess.
[10:49] <bumblebee> bazhang thats the strange thing, it says it got an error but doesnt say what error
[10:49] <Fryguy--> berkelep: lol
[10:49] <bazhang> bumblebee, then you may wish to try the Dr's suggestion
[10:49] <Fryguy--> berkelep: make sure you remove entries from /etc/shadow and /etc/group as well
[10:49] <RedWolf> is there a guide to installing Windows to run as a dual boot from an ISO instead of using a CD?
[10:49] <bumblebee> bazhang ok ill try that, thnx
[10:50] <bazhang> RedWolf, windows? or ubuntu
[10:50] <RedWolf> I'm on Ubuntu, but my job is requiring me to install windows
[10:50] <bazhang> RedWolf, then get a vm
[10:50] <ubunubi> redwolf:: compile vmware server then and run it in a VM :) (or virtualbox if you prefer)
[10:50] <Fryguy--> RedWolf: so install in a vm, or just install windows side by side, why does it need to be iso
[10:51] <RedWolf> dvd burner bit the dust, wont be able to buy one til next payday
[10:51] <Fryguy--> RedWolf: if you have a usb flash drive around you can install from that
[10:52] <petar20> where do I join if i want to get help burning ?
[10:52] <ubunubi> redwolf:: you cant install to the system from an ISO itself if you can't burn it ..unless you're installing it into a VM
[10:52] <RedWolf> Thats what I want to do ubunubi, where can I see hwo to do that
[10:52] <bazhang> petar20, burning an iso or other
[10:52] <hyperstream> whats the best application for ubuntu to manage an ipod ?
[10:52] <Fryguy--> hyperstream: amarok or gtkpod probably
[10:53] <hyperstream> thanks mate
[10:53] <Juozapas> hyperstream: try podzila for ipod firmware
[10:53] <Juozapas> ;)
[10:53] <shaihu> Hello, does someone know why there is no install command-line system in the hardy alternate cd? o_O
[10:53] <petar20> bazhang: iso (dvd9) xbox360, i just got a write failed (it didnt start to burn) i/o error, do i need to mount the blank dvd as well? I tried to but it failed
[10:53] <hyperstream> say i have a ntfs  and a fat32 drive/partition i want to mount perminatly everytime i boot, what area's commands and so forth should i research ?
[10:53] <Chaotic_Descent> I'm starting to get really tired of Ubuntu. nothing ever works right without fiddling with it. like right now, I can't play music. the audio from video files plays fine. I installed the highest rated music player for Ubuntu and it doesn't play MP3s.
[10:53] <ubunubi> redwolf:: google install vmware ubuntu and pick a tutorial then (if you already have the XP ISO handy)..tell vmware to create a new VM..and instead of a physical CD drive tell it to use the ISO on your hd instead, then boot the VM..and it'll launch the install
[10:53] <berkelep> Fryguy--: using sudo gives me http://pastie.org/228127
[10:53] <nick_server> Fryguy--, I booted from live cd, and mounted root partion , there were no folder messages in /var/log
[10:53] <dr_Willis> !ntfs-3g | hyperstream
[10:54] <hyperstream> just reading
[10:54] <nick_server> Fryguy--, also all partions are clean
[10:54] <hyperstream> looks good tho
[10:54] <hyperstream> thanks mate
[10:54] <btnam> hi. help me open a port for transmission bit torrent? On Windows mtorrent on this same machine mtorrent can always open a port for me.
[10:54] <Fryguy--> berkelep: so you can't sudo?
[10:54] <shaihu> Hello, does someone know why there is no install command-line system in the hardy alternate cd? o_O
[10:54] <bazhang> petar20, xbox360? not quite following how that relates to ubuntu
[10:54] <Fryguy--> btnam: open a port where?
[10:54] <berkelep> Fryguy--: nope
[10:54] <petar20> bazhang.... its an iso
[10:55] <Fryguy--> berkelep: you'll have to reboot into rescue mode then
[10:55] <bazhang> petar20, of what
[10:55] <petar20> bazhang do you normally need to mount a blank cd when burning?
[10:55] <Fryguy--> petar20: no, you can't mount a blank cd
[10:55] <petar20> Fryguy hmm i see
[10:55] <btnam> I open transmission and transmission tests a port and it says the port is closed. and that's why download rate is so slow.
[10:55] <petar20> bazhang:  its an iso with a HD movie
[10:55] <Fryguy--> btnam: so configure your router to open a port
[10:55] <Chaotic_Descent> why doesn't Rhythymbox play MP3s? I hit play and the bar doesn't move.
[10:56] <shaihu> Hello, does someone know why there is no install command-line system in the hardy alternate cd? o_O
[10:56] <bazhang> petar20, why burn it? just mount it and watch
[10:56] <petar20> bazhan because I want to watch on my 360
[10:56] <Fryguy--> bazhang: sounds like he wants to playback on xbox360
[10:56] <petar20> it*
[10:56] <btnam> FRyguy. You mean my DSL router?
[10:56] <petar20> yes
[10:56] <Fryguy--> btnam: yes
[10:56] <bazhang> petar20, right click iso open with cd/dvd creator and put in a blank dvd
[10:57] <berkelep> Fryguy--: if the system is on a remote server how would i repair this?
[10:57] <btnam> FRyguy. But when i am on WIndows, Mtorrent can run fine. So I know that my router is Ok
[10:57] <petar20> bazhang: i want to use growisofs, also the applications needs to be able to set a dl break
[10:57] <Fryguy--> call up the person and have them reboot it. or find a 0day exploit for the kernel that ubuntu uses and hack the machine
[10:57] <Fryguy--> btnam: you need to open a port on your router
[10:58] <shaio> Hello, does someone know why there is no install command-line system in the hardy alternate cd? o_O
[10:58] <Fryguy--> btnam: in windows, the application is probably using something like upnp, which is probably not supported in transmission
[10:58] <Fryguy--> !repeat | shaio
[10:58] <Chaotic_Descent> Amarok doesn't play my music either. in fact, it crashes.
[10:59] <Fryguy--> Chaotic_Descent: do you have codec for mp3 installed?
[10:59] <hyperstream> correct me if im wrong- there used to be a gui that could look and make up perm mounting positions as well as writing it to fstab?
[10:59] <mjr69> Hi, got a problem with sleep hibernate on Sony VGN S2XP with ATI Radeon 9800. Any known solutions?
[10:59] <Chaotic_Descent> Fryguy--: no.
[10:59] <btnam> Fryguy. Thank you. I think I should use another bittorrent then.
[10:59] <bazhang> !mp3
[10:59] <Fryguy--> Chaotic_Descent: need a codec for mp3 playback to work
[10:59] <morbyte> so normally, i should have a pulseaudio daemon running to be able to use pulseaudio? oh damn i dont want to dig through all the manual configuration stuff, thats why i took ubuntu :/
[11:00] <Fryguy--> btnam: deluge might do what you need.  or you can just configure your router yourself
[11:00] <livingdaylight> Fryguy--: well, your solution works for Firefox... thx
[11:00] <shaio> yeah, but it's frustrating...
[11:00] <livingdaylight> Fryguy--: everytime i wanna watch a youtube i get to open Firefox. I still don't understand why it suddenly stopped working in Epiphany and Opera
[11:00] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: if you run "aoss opera" from command line opera will work too (and you can just change the shortcuts to do that instead of run opera itself)
[11:00] <shaio> ubuntu is on the wrong foot with hardy
[11:00] <Chaotic_Descent> where do I install the MP3 codec from? system tools, or is it in with the sound & video stuff?
[11:01] <Fryguy--> !mp3
[11:01] <shaio> for desktop noobs it's fine, but if you want to tweak it... it's all bloat and meh
[11:01] <Fryguy--> shaio: there are plenty of other operating systems available if ubuntu doesn't suit you
[11:01] <naught101> has anyone managed to get internet sharing going like this: 3G wireless usb modem => laptop => ethernet NIC => Wifi hub => other computers/
[11:01] <Chaotic_Descent> Hrm... mp3 codec doesn't seem to be in the add/remove applications place at all... is it in the package manager? *goes on wild goose hunt*
[11:01] <shaio> off to slack i guess :D
[11:02] <Fryguy--> Chaotic_Descent: i just linked you to the documenation you needed..
[11:02] <shaio> sorry for the rants, i'm going to the forums
[11:02] <deihon> help,my vitural -box cann't recongnize SD card.
[11:02] <shaio> oh, the pain
[11:02] <Fryguy--> deihon: need to setup usb pass through
[11:03] <Fryguy--> deihon: not sure if it's enabled in the gpl version of virtualbox or not
[11:03] <Chaotic_Descent> Fryguy--: oh, sorry. Thanks.
[11:03] <deihon> how ?
[11:03] <petar20> my dvd burner is now /dev/hdb  when i use a dvd9, is that normal?
[11:03] <Fryguy--> deihon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2082674
[11:04] <livingdaylight> Fryguy--: i just launched opera from command line like you said: aoss opera and got this back: opera: X Shared memory extension is not available. ZPixmap not supported
[11:04] <deihon> i see, thanks
[11:04] <Fryguy--> deihon: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-install-virtualbox-in-hardy-heron.html
[11:04] <livingdaylight> Fryguy--: opera did open but still no sound in youtue
[11:04] <Fryguy--> livingdaylight: dunno then
[11:04] <livingdaylight> ok
[11:06] <Xavura> What do I type to specify a port for SSH
[11:06] <geek_inn2> hey # /dev/hda1
[11:06] <geek_inn2> UUID=12102C02102CEB83  /media/windows  ntfs-3g  auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=027,fmask=137,utf8  0  0
[11:06] <Fryguy--> -p
[11:06] <Xavura> ssh user@domain/ip port will not work
[11:06] <rausb0> Xavura: ssh -p PORTNUM ...
[11:06] <Xavura> thanks bud
[11:06] <Xavura> so
[11:06] <geek_inn2> what does uid 1000,gid 100 and dmask,fmask mean
[11:06] <Fryguy--> Xavura: check out man ssh for a list of other command line options
[11:06] <Xavura> ssh user@dom/ip -p port
[11:06] <Xavura> i tried ssh --h
[11:06] <Xavura> for help, didn't help
[11:07] <Xavura> Is ssh user@dom/ip -p port correct?
[11:07] <Fryguy--> geek_inn2: users in the system are assigned a user id and a group id
[11:07] <Fryguy--> Xavura: no
[11:07] <Fryguy--> Xavura: ssh -p user@host
[11:07] <Xavura> port?
[11:07] <Fryguy--> yes
[11:07] <Xavura> where do I put the port, that's all I need to know
[11:07] <Fryguy--> ssh -p port user@host
[11:07] <Xavura> thanks
[11:07] <Fryguy--> Xavura: see man ssh for usage detalis
[11:07] <Xavura> I will
[11:08] <Xavura> But I needed to know that really QUICK, thanks
[11:08] <Fryguy--> Xavura: the -p is on the 2nd line of the man documentation :/
[11:08] <rausb0> Xavura: most commands expect the options first, then the arguments
[11:09] <greg_universe> How do you get compiz themes to load usign emerland?
[11:09] <bazhang> emerald themes?
[11:09] <dr_Willis> emerald has its own themes.
[11:09] <greg_universe> yeah
[11:10] <dr_Willis> and the emerald control pannel tool can download/set them
[11:10] <M_Cheevy> hey folks.... anyone here have any luck creating a usplash theme? (libusplash-dev)
[11:10] <bazhang> M_Cheevy, you seen the factoid?
[11:11] <M_Cheevy> the howto?  yes, I'm having specific problems with the colours
[11:11] <Chaotic_Descent> I still can't play MP3s after installing that package.
[11:12] <dacubuntu> hi
[11:12] <Fryguy--> Chaotic_Descent: did you restart whatever media player you were using
[11:12] <dacubuntu> how do i enable write support on ipods and mac format drives?
[11:12] <Xavura> if I type in a terminal for example
[11:12] <Fryguy--> dacubuntu: you don't
[11:12] <M_Cheevy> bazhang: I've read contradictory info. some say, you have to use specific palette positions, other's say you specify it in the .c file, some say in hex some say in decimal... no matter what I do, the text background stays this ugly blue
[11:12] <Xavura> gedit &
[11:12] <Xavura> then close the terminal, will my instance of gedit still be there?
[11:12] <geek_inn2> yes,gid and uid but what are other fields  dmask,umask,fmask
[11:12] <dacubuntu> frguy: cant?
[11:13] <Fryguy--> Xavura: no
[11:13] <Xavura> Fryguy--: how do I do it then, that's what I was told
[11:13] <Chaotic_Descent> Fryguy--: yes. I restarted the applications.
[11:13] <Fryguy--> geek_inn2: fields that control default permissions when creating things
[11:13] <Fryguy--> Xavura: you can use nohup
[11:13] <bazhang> Chaotic_Descent, what package did you install
[11:13] <rausb0> Xavura: only if you close the shell by typing "exit", not if you close the terminal with the [X] button
[11:13] <Xavura> rausb0: that's useful, Fryguy-- how do I use nohup, real quick example?
[11:13] <Fryguy--> Xavura: nohup <name of command>
[11:13] <Xavura> rausb0: useful to know* :S
[11:14] <Xavura> thanks,
[11:14] <Chaotic_Descent> bazhang: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:14] <Xavura> thank a lot :) been trying tow ork this out for ages
[11:14] <xubuntuuser> My firefox told me that the proxy blocked while i'm using tor. Has anybody an idea to fix that?
[11:14] <petar20> cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! <--- lots of errors in dmesg... its a very expensive taiyo yuden disc, I know theres nothing with the actual disc because it works on windows but not on linux
[11:14] <bazhang> Chaotic_Descent, what about win32codecs from www.medibuntu.org
[11:14] <Xavura> Is there a way to change the title of a terminal tab?
[11:14] <pen> I have a question on im-switch
[11:15] <pen> when I run sudo nautilus
[11:15] <pen> I got this message
[11:15] <pen> sys:1: GtkWarning: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/immodules/im-gcin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[11:15] <Chaotic_Descent> sure. I'll try anything. :S
[11:15] <Fryguy--> Xavura: in the terminal properties there are various options for setting the title of the terminal
[11:15] <pen> sys:1: GtkWarning: Loading IM context type 'gcin' failed
[11:15] <hyperstream> for those of you wanting to know pysdm manages and writes the fstab etc for mounting drives.
[11:15] <pen> I removed gcin but it's still try searching for it
[11:15] <bazhang> petar20, taiyo yuden? some of those are counterfeit you know
[11:15] <pen> why?
[11:15] <tristan_> gday all
[11:15] <bazhang> petar20, how about just a cheapo dvd
[11:15] <petar20> bazhang.. I know.... because they are that good.. but im not using a bad disc.. trust me
[11:16] <Xavura> Fryguy--: ah I found it, nice
[11:16] <petar20> bazhang: because I wouldnt want to watste a crappy cheap dye on my pioneer setups
[11:16] <Fryguy--> petar20: ?
[11:16] <bazhang> petar20, no, I meant as a test; to rule out other possible error vectors
[11:16] <tristan_> I got rid of my vista install today :P loving ubuntu on this system I dont even think I will go back to xp
[11:16] <xubuntuuser> Since I use tor my firefox isn't able to show me a page... He told me to check proxy options (i use torbutton)
[11:17] <petar20> bazhang oh hmm sounds like a good idea
[11:17] <M_Cheevy> so has anyone managed to figure out how to set the colours of the usplash screen elements in the [theme].c file?  I've used gimp to find the color indexes I need, tried entering them as hex & bin but it's really a crap shoot what colors come up.  Any body got any pointers?
[11:17] <M_Cheevy> hex & dec that is
[11:17] <dr_Willis> Hmm,, the bot had a factoid or 2 on usplash
[11:17] <dr_Willis> !usplash
[11:18] <fsckbuntu> i need help
[11:18] <Peddy> Xavura: nope
[11:18] <Fryguy--> !ask | fsckbuntu
[11:18] <fsckbuntu> i want to redo this installation, too much bulk
[11:18] <Xavura> Peddy: sorry?
[11:18] <fsckbuntu> recommend format, reinstall server base install?
[11:18] <gnomefreak> fsckbuntu: stick cd in cdrom and reboot and reinstall it
[11:19] <Peddy> ﻿can anyone tell me how /etc/acpi/resume.d scripts work? They aren't executed after resuming for some reason. Thanks.
[11:19] <Fryguy--> fsckbuntu: if that's what you want to do, go ahead and do it
[11:19] <petar20> bazhang: same results, it doesnt matter, as soon as I pick a dvd9 it complains ,heres my dmesg log http://pastebin.com/m5ae7d6e4
[11:19] <l815> server install doesnt have a gui
[11:19] <fsckbuntu> install everything ontop, seems to be the recommend action for people trying to get away from bloat
[11:19] <dr_Willis> 'bloat' - another buzz word - that tends tomean very little these days.
[11:19] <l815> i don't get the bloat issue, because the extra apps can easily be uninstalled
[11:19] <fsckbuntu> server iso text install, how many mb RAM does it use fresh install
[11:19] <bazhang> petar20, this is using cd/dvd creator or other
[11:19]  * dr_Willis wonders who installed the 'bloat' to begin with. :)
[11:19] <Starnestommy> Peddy: are all of the scripts failing or just some of them?
[11:19] <pen> I have a question on im-switch
[11:19] <gnomefreak> fsckbuntu: you can get a fluxbuntu or xubuntu for a basic set of packages or you can install in server mode but you will need if you want a gui a desktop
[11:19] <tristan_> is awn-manager working for anyone?
[11:19] <fsckbuntu> means little to people not worried about bloat
[11:19] <pen> when I run sudo nautilus
[11:20] <pen> I got this message
[11:20] <pen> sys:1: GtkWarning: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/immodules/im-gcin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[11:20] <fsckbuntu> ubuntu is starting to remind me of symantec
[11:20] <geek_inn2> mounting fat is confusing or NTFS
[11:20] <pen> sys:1: GtkWarning: Loading IM context type 'gcin' failed
[11:20] <pen> I removed gcin but it's still try searching for it
[11:20] <ubunubi> petar20:: by default cdrom format is set to iso9660..set it to auto instead. so it'll try to detect the discs format instead
[11:20] <pen> why?
[11:20] <Starnestommy> Peddy: try gksudo nautilus
[11:20] <M_Cheevy> not asking how to switch images, asking how to set the colours when making a usplash theme
[11:20] <M_Cheevy> back in a bit....
[11:20] <petar20> bazhang growisofs
[11:20] <petar20> ubunubi how?
[11:20] <Fryguy--> petar20: because it needs it
[11:20] <dr_Willis> geek_inn2,  it does pay to read about whats going on with ntfs/vfat so you learn  the fundamentals. and are not just cut/pasteing  commands you have no idea about. :)
[11:20] <Starnestommy> Peddy: er, ignore that
[11:20] <bazhang> petar20, this is on a server?
[11:21] <ubunubi> petar20: in your fstab, on the cdrom entry, set it's option to fs to 'auto'
[11:21] <Starnestommy> pen: try gksudo nautilus instead of sudo nautilus
[11:21] <fsckbuntu> you can't just "uninstall" something that inherently installs 9000 packages in various places pointing to this and that service god knows where to begin or end
[11:21] <Peddy> Starnestommy: all of them fail
[11:21] <tristan_> anyone able to help me get awn-manager working?
[11:21] <fsckbuntu> "fresh" is fresh
[11:21] <Starnestommy> Peddy: are they all marked as executable?
[11:21] <Fryguy--> fsckbuntu: so then do that
[11:21] <bazhang> fsckbuntu, that is offtopic here.
[11:21] <fsckbuntu> good, eat me
[11:21]  * dr_Willis feels the love.
[11:21] <Peddy> Starnestommy: however, I can resume successfully. Yes, they have execute perms.
[11:21] <pen> Starnestommy, but I still can't switch scim
[11:21] <bazhang> !coc > fsckbuntu
[11:21] <petar20> bazhang:  no sir desktop
[11:22] <petar20> ubunubi, okay fixing it now
[11:22] <fsckbuntu> zig heil
[11:22] <pen> Starnestommy, I was using gcin but I uninstall it now in gksudo or sudo none of those works
[11:22] <Fryguy--> fsckbuntu: you've identified an issue with your system, you have identified a solution.  go implement the solution and be happy.  We'll gladly help you out with any other issues that you have
[11:22] <bazhang> petar20, how about using something like I suggested?
[11:22] <spectre> hi to all,I need to modify my profile on https://launchpad.net, but I don't find how to do it,can you help me ?
[11:22] <Starnestommy> pen: did it work before removing gcin?
[11:22] <fsckbuntu> so corporate now is the website, doesnt even give you the option of previous versions
[11:22] <Tux2K8> how do I uninstall FF3 which I installed directly from the mozzile site??
[11:22] <fsckbuntu> force 8.04 on you
[11:22] <gnomefreak> fsckbuntu: join #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:22] <Xavura> Let's say I SSH into a server and I want to download a file and open it in an editor, is there no command I can use or do I have to screw around
[11:22] <ikonia> Tux2K8: remove the binaries and libraries manually
[11:23] <Fryguy--> Xavura: use scp
[11:23] <ikonia> Xavura: wget will download a file for you
[11:23] <Xavura> ikonia:
[11:23] <tristan_> fsckbuntuL um corporate um no, does it require me to put an amex in no!
[11:23] <ikonia> Xavura: yes ?
[11:23] <bazhang> fsckbuntu, would you like an earlier version
[11:23] <Tux2K8> ikonia : you mean , to go to "where is firefox" and remove everything manually?
[11:23] <hyperstream> How do i add something like: /DozeDrivez/MainDump to my 'Places' or 'Computer' menu's/folders
[11:23] <pen> Starnestommy, I am not sure, I switch from scim to gcin then back. There was some problems with gcin so I removed it
[11:23] <gnomefreak> bazhang: they are there on ubuntu.com just hav eto look for it
[11:23] <ikonia> Tux2K8: no - I mean remove the binaries and libraries that the mozilla installed manually
[11:23] <Xavura> Fryguy--: what is that ikonia: that is too much messing around, I want to just do "cmd filename" and it open in editor after downloading, then when I close it reupload
[11:23] <fsckbuntu> even centos.org offers easy place to find older versions
[11:23] <petar20> bazhang... once more it needs to support DL break
[11:23] <ubunubi> tux2k8:: there isn't a good way. that's why you should heed the 1000 warnings not to install FF3 directly from the mozilla website and use the repo verison instead
[11:23] <Xavura> I know that's basically FTP, but whatever, is it possible
[11:23] <pen> Starnestommy, now after removing gcin the messages appears
[11:23] <ikonia> Tux2K8: you've installed something outside of the package manager
[11:23] <Xubuntaner> can someone give me the german channelname?
[11:24] <Fryguy--> Xavura: it's a command for copying files from one machine to anotehr using ssh
[11:24] <bazhang> !de | Xubuntaner
[11:24] <Fryguy--> Xavura: man scp for details on how to use it
[11:24] <petar20> bazhang: if I wanted to i could ubrn my disc with imgburn but I want to use cli
[11:24] <rausb0> Xavura: you want to look at sshfs
[11:24] <Starnestommy> fsckbuntu: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[11:24] <Xubuntaner> thx
[11:24] <Xavura> rausb0: is there plenty of info on google or
[11:24] <fsckbuntu> just want a release that isn't fscked
[11:24] <bazhang> petar20, not sure about dl break
[11:24] <tristan_> fsckbuntu: you can get the different distros from the ftp wth are you talking about
[11:24] <ikonia> Xavura: that doesn't exist - svn is the closest to that sort of thing
[11:24] <rausb0> !info sshfs | Xavura
[11:24] <gnomefreak> fsckbuntu: 8.04 is fine if you want less bloat dont use kde or gnome
[11:24] <jonaskoe1ker> hi all; my eth1 device fails to exist when I boot 2.6.24-19.  I'm using ipw2200 for my intel 2915 (abg).  When I modprobe ipw2200, I get "ipw2200: probe of 0000:0b:02.0 failed with error -5".  The internet suggests booting linux with acpi=noirq, which I do, and I still get that message.  How do I make my wireless interface work?
[11:24] <Xavura> ikonia: well I can't use FTP because it is broken on my installation so I need an alternative
[11:25] <Scrosson> is it possible to change where software installs to?
[11:25] <ikonia> Xavura: scp or wget
[11:25] <Fryguy--> Xavura: like i've said 2x already, use scp
[11:25] <gnomefreak> fsckbuntu: use xubuntu or fluxbox or openbox or a number of others
[11:25] <bazhang> Scrosson, why would you want to?
[11:25] <Scrosson> because i have my main drive (smaller) and my slave drive (bigger)
[11:25] <pen> Starnestommy, I don't understand why is it asking gcin
[11:25] <Xavura> I heard...
[11:25] <jonaskoe1ker> Scrosson: I think it would take violence towards .deb-files; and what's the motivation?
[11:25] <Xavura> I'm just trying to get a few alternatives
[11:25] <Starnestommy> pen: I think you didn't remove gcin fully
[11:25] <ikonia> Xavura: those are you best two options
[11:25] <Chaotic_Descent> hm. that stupid ubuntu-restricted-extras doesn't work on my DVDs either. hurray!
[11:26] <Xavura> Or sshfs? That sounds good
[11:26] <rausb0> ikonia: why not use sshfs?
[11:26] <ikonia> Chaotic_Descent: if you want help - ask
[11:26] <Starnestommy> Chaotic_Descent: you may need libdvdcss
[11:26] <geek_inn2> can i set temporary lablel for partition in fstab using LABEL=""?
[11:26] <Fryguy--> scrosson, you can mount /usr (probably the biggest part of filesystem), onto another partition
[11:26] <pen> Starnestommy, ok, so what should I do?
[11:26] <bazhang> Chaotic_Descent, that is libdvdcss2 from www.medibuntu.org
[11:26] <ikonia> rausb0: yup, another good option, but thats more a "mount" than file copy
[11:26] <tristan_> Anyone having a py error installing the new awn-manager I want the bar like my sisters lepard install
[11:26] <Scrosson> hmm k
[11:26] <ubunubi> geek_inn2: why not just set a perm label with e2label ?
[11:26] <lardarse> jonaskoe1ker: you should do 'lspci' and paste the outpuut into http://paste.ubuntu.com (not here!) because it will probably be required
[11:26] <Starnestommy> pen: sudo aptitude purge gcin
[11:26] <Scrosson> just wine is in one spot and i needa install wow but dont have the room
[11:26] <fsckbuntu> linux needs a voice to speak the truth
[11:26] <pen> Starnestommy, already removed
[11:27] <fsckbuntu> merge the conflicting masses
[11:27] <jonaskoe1ker> lardarse: http://rafb.net/p/FDvYwL13.html
[11:27] <gnomefreak> fsckbuntu: that is offtopic pleas estay on topic
[11:27] <pen> Starnestommy, I have tried sudo im-switch and sudo update-alternatives
[11:27] <bazhang> fsckbuntu, please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:27] <Fryguy--> Scrosson: oh.  Wine by default installs stuff into your home directory.  You can move your home directory to another partition if you want
[11:27] <pen> Starnestommy, that message still comes up
[11:27] <tristan_> fsckbuntu: it does its called OpenSource
[11:27] <Scrosson> how oO?
[11:27] <gnomefreak> tristan_: please dont
[11:27] <fsckbuntu> too many people giving up and going back to winbloze
[11:27] <lardarse> jounfortunately, i can take you no further, as i know nothjing about wireless entworking
[11:27] <tristan_> sorry
[11:27] <Xubuntaner> ok uhm the german channel is empty... so i will try it here
[11:27] <Starnestommy> pen: what about the output of sudo aptitude search gcin?
[11:27] <ubunubi> scrosson:: you could also just make your hidden c_drive wine directory a symbolic link to a directory on another parition that has space. wine will never know the difference ;)
[11:28] <lardarse> oops
[11:28] <Xubuntaner> it all started with my main kernel not working
[11:28] <lardarse> jonaskoelker: unfortunately, i can take you no further, as i know nothjing about wireless networking
[11:28] <Scrosson> which ever is easiest/best
[11:28] <jonaskoelker> lardarse: ok
[11:28] <pen> Starnestommy, two entries
[11:28] <Chaotic_Descent> hrm... so the initial link I was given links to... although I thought that first page was going to solve the problem. I'm only looking at the DVD section because it's not working.
[11:28] <ubunubi> Scrosson: symlink is easier than moving your entire home directory :PP
[11:28] <Xubuntaner> i dont know how to repair it. at present im running an older functional kernal
[11:28] <pen> Starnestommy, both p
[11:29] <Xubuntaner> kernel*
[11:29] <Scrosson> am sure ill have other software ill need to add later, which id like on my slave.
[11:29] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: probably not, and it's a lot more fragile
[11:29] <Scrosson> is it possible to make a partition bigger?
[11:29] <Starnestommy> pen: did you logout then login again after removing it?
[11:29] <Fryguy--> Scrosson: sure, use gparted to do that
[11:29] <Scrosson> okay
[11:29] <Scrosson> can u also tell me how to symlink thing because im new to this
[11:29] <pen> Starnestommy, yes
[11:30] <jonaskoelker> Scrosson: open a terminal; type "ln -s /path/to/existing/file /path/where/you/want/the/symlink"
[11:30] <pen> Starnestommy, actually I installed the deb from the website first then I removed and try the one in repository
[11:30] <Fryguy--> Scrosson: it'd be better if you moved your home directory to a bigger partition instead
[11:30] <ubunubi> Scrosson: if you're moving your entire home directly you dont need the symlink
[11:30] <pen> Starnestommy, both are not working
[11:30] <ubunubi> directory*
[11:30] <Fryguy--> Scrosson: the symlink thing will work, but it's pretty fragile and you'll likely run into problems later on
[11:30] <pen> Starnestommy, I use alien to convert from rpm to deb to install the newer one from the website
[11:30] <Starnestommy> pen: the one from the website may have done something strange
[11:30] <Scrosson> okay
[11:30] <pen> Starnestommy, maybe
[11:30] <Scrosson> so how do i move it without breaking anything?
[11:30] <pen> Starnestommy, but the file content looks normal
[11:30] <ubunubi> fryguy: i wasn't suggesting symlinking his home directory, just the wine/c_drive/wow install directory
[11:30] <Starnestommy> pen: that might explain it.  Alien often fails to correctly convert packages
[11:31] <tristan_> anyone able to help with a AWN-MANAGER error?
[11:31] <Scrosson> (also whats the command in terminal to get gparted?)
[11:31] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: same problems occur
[11:31] <tristan_> msg me :)
[11:31] <spectre> hi to all.I want to unsubscribe myself from www.launchpad.net,how can I https://launchpad.net/projects/ is it possible ? I don't find the way
[11:31] <Chaotic_Descent> ok... ok. so I did what it told me to. I installed libdvdcss2 and VLC still crashes when trying to play a DVD.
[11:31] <pen> Starnestommy, so what should I do now to fix it? I'm really clueless
[11:31] <ubunubi> fryguy:: what can possibly go wrong? the directory will never move
[11:31] <Starnestommy> pen: so am I
[11:31] <Chaotic_Descent> why is this so damned complicated?
[11:31] <Xubuntaner> anyone out there to help me repairing my mainkernel? msg me
[11:31] <Fryguy--> Scrosson: set up a new partition the size you want and stuff, then sudo cp -a /home/ /location/of/new/partition.  Then edit fstab to mount this new partition to /home, and then mount it and you are done
[11:32] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: but his hd mount might
[11:32] <bri-h> Anybody here really understand pulseaudio - I'm having a hard time getting it working.  I've got everything working using ALSA though and I'm wondering what the advantage of pulseaudio would be.
[11:32] <Scrosson> ty
[11:32] <ubunubi> Fryguy--: the power of UUIDs
[11:32] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: right, and there's no sense in coupling a symlink in a nested directory to a possiibly variable mountpoint in another part of the directory structure
[11:33] <Scrosson> can i like murge my two partitions on one drive into one?
[11:33] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: not to mention if it does break and an outsider tries to fix it they are going to have a heck of a time identifying a broken symlink in that case
[11:33] <Fryguy--> Scrosson: you can delete one, and then grow the other to be full size
[11:33] <ubunubi> Fryguy--: i think that's being overly cautious, but that's just me
[11:34] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: considering how easy it is to make separate home directory, i don't think so
[11:34] <berkelep> Fryguy--: any suggestion on how to switch to root or edit /etc/shadow, etc/group without sudo?
[11:35] <ubunubi> Fryguy--: easier to fix a symlink later, than explain to scrosso how he deleted all his partitions in gparted trying to make new ones :P
[11:35] <Fryguy--> berkelep: like i told you, you need to get into rescue mode, there is no way
[11:35] <pen> Starnestommy, do you know why im-switch can't set to scim?
[11:35] <Scrosson> hmm
[11:35] <berkelep> Fryguy--: how do i do that if the system is on a remote server?
[11:35] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: probably not
[11:35] <Scrosson> cp: cannot overwrite non-directory `/dev/sda3' with directory `/home'
[11:35] <Fryguy--> berkelep: you don't
[11:36] <Fryguy--> berkelep: you already asked this and i already answered it. my answer isn't going to change an hour later
[11:36] <Fryguy--> Scrosson: you need to mount the device somewhere
[11:36] <MrWizeGuy1983_> Scrosson, what are you tryin' to do? lol are you trying to mount home by using cp?
[11:36] <Fryguy--> Scrosson: mkdir /mnt/tmp && sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/tmp
[11:36] <jonaskoelker> oh well, I get net on 2.6.24-18; might as well stick with that
[11:37] <Xubuntaner> can someone please help me repairing my mainkernel?
[11:37] <tristan__> anyone able to help with a AWN-MANAGER py error ?
[11:37] <peta120> ubunubi: i tried to give it "auto" on fstab but alas [  251.790031] cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
[11:37] <Chaotic_Descent> ok. I installed w32codecs from Medibuntu as well. I still can't play MP3s. why does nothing work? ever.
[11:37] <ubunubi> peta120: :(
[11:37] <tristan__> its the latest build
[11:37] <ubunubi> peta120: doesn't seem to be a filesystem detection issue then
[11:37] <Fryguy--> Chaotic_Descent: is your sound configured correctly?
[11:38] <peta120> ubunubi: yeah thats right ,all the other errors are gone now, thanks ,but it still gives me a I/0 heheheh
[11:38] <Tux2K8> I removed the FF3 I installed manually from mozzila site , and now I installed from synaptic the firefox package , but I still cant find firefox on my system , any idea?

[11:48] <Fryguy--> plutarcus: "doesn't work" doesn't mean anything to me, you need to be more specific
[11:48] <Fryguy--> plutarcus: and for plugin, you need to install java plugin, it's separate from the main java jdk
[11:48] <pen> Fryguy--, do you know what commend can I check why libgtk2.0 is trying to search for gcin IM?
[11:48] <Fryguy--> pen:  no

[12:00] <bobbyc> i got a problem at startup... the screen stays blank and i cant do anything at all. im now writing over an older kernel version. any suggestions how to fix it?

[12:00] <Ging> is there a better way for me to edit a config file than vi ?
[12:00] <Starnestommy> Ging: nano
[12:01] <Tux2K8> dr_Willis: thanks man!!!
[12:01] <Ging> installed by befault?
[12:01] <Ging> *default
[12:01] <Chaotic_Descent> if the instructions for adding MP3 support only show Rhythmbox for Ubuntu 7.10, does that mean it won't work in 8.04 ?
[12:01] <fulhack> I have a theoretical question.. say I create a ramdrive... and I migrate the apps that are run the most on the PC to this drive, perhaps the directories w/ the most writes. and so forth.. thus redusing the number of writes to the disk drive.. Would this lower the power consumption of the disk?
[12:01] <Starnestommy> Ging: I think it is
[12:01] <burdenx> what's a good program to unrar multiple archives?
[12:01] <Saiko> how can I check if my network is 100mbit or 1000gbit?
[12:02] <Saiko> I mean 1gbit
[12:02] <ubunubi> fulhack: in theory. but if something else keeps the drive constantly spun up anyway...then no, no savings
[12:02] <Fryguy--> Saiko: use ethtool
[12:02] <kaktuspalme> hmm, the acpi video module has a bug, if i close my lid then the whole system freezes
[12:02] <burdenx> how can i extract multiple rar archives ?
[12:02] <magnetron> Chaotic_Descent, most people would install the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package. if you could give me the link to the page you are talking about, i can check it for you
[12:02] <fulhack> ubunubi: So the actual saving would be if the drive spun down? Not just keeping the reads/writes to a minimum?
[12:02] <fserve> is ubuntu 8.04.1 released?
[12:03] <fserve> when it came out?
[12:03] <Fryguy--> fserve: yes
[12:03] <Chaotic_Descent> magnetron: I tried that package. it didn't work. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3
[12:03] <dr_Willis> burdenx,  you mean you have a multi-part rar archive? or several dozen seperate rar's ?
[12:03] <Fryguy--> couple days ago
[12:03] <Saiko> Fryguy-- whats my DEVNAME?
[12:03] <fserve> hmm, thanks
[12:03] <Fryguy--> Saiko: eth0 prolly
[12:03] <burdenx> dr_Willis, multipart, r01 etc
[12:03] <ubunubi> fulhack:: pretty much
[12:03] <Saiko> ok
[12:03] <magnetron> Chaotic_Descent, what do you mean "it didn't work"
[12:03] <dr_Willis> burdenx,  just extraxt the first one - and it will find the rest
[12:03] <Ging> can you paste into nano?
[12:03] <Chaotic_Descent> magnetron: I mean I can't play MP3s.
[12:03] <btnam> HI. does anyone know how to create a gdm theme?
[12:04] <dr_Willis> burdenx,  unrar e whatever.r00 or whatever its called.
[12:04] <bender12> is there a HOWTO on upgrading from hoary to hardy?
[12:04] <peta120> ubunubi: oh well thanks anyways
[12:04] <burdenx> dr_Willis, i tried to right click on the first one, Extract here, it took ridiculous time then I canceled it
[12:04] <Saiko> Fryguy-- changes made with ethtool are permanent?
[12:04] <ubunubi> fulhack: even without a spin down you would theoretically be preventing some wear & tear on the drive head by reducing read/writes..but it would almost be negligible
[12:04] <dr_Willis> burdenx,  i always use the command line for such tasks.
[12:04] <Fryguy--> Saiko: don't think so
[12:04] <fulhack> ubunubi: Hm.. Okay. Do you know if any work has been done in this field? Migrating the OS to ram to conserve energy?
[12:04] <Starnestommy> bender12: I think it may be easier to simply install hardy over hoary
[12:04] <magnetron> Chaotic_Descent, did you update your repositories? please confirm that the ubuntu-restricted-extras is actually installed
[12:05] <pan__> how's everyone
[12:05] <Chaotic_Descent> update my repositories?
[12:05] <offline> chaotic: if u have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras theb u sould be able to play mp3's, or try with other player
[12:05] <fulhack> To my knowledge, RAMs consume a much smaller amount of energy, right?
[12:05] <offline> *then
[12:05] <magnetron> Chaotic_Descent, yeah, run the "update manager"
[12:05] <ubunubi> fulhack: yeah i've read a few articles about it. but the thing is, you have to get the entire OS and programs in RAM and prevent disk access (can save RAM contents to disk on shutdown or something) for any appreciable benefit
[12:05] <pen> Fryguy--, still there?
[12:05] <pen> Fryguy--, I found out that
[12:05] <bender12> Starnestommy, i thought that, but now i have to get the cd burner working :P
[12:06] <burdenx> dr_Willis,  it worked nicely on terminal
[12:06]  * Chaotic_Descent runs this update manager. oh no... 160MB... well, see you all tomorrow.
[12:06] <pen>  /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/immodules/im-gcin.so is actually in  /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/im-gcin.so
[12:06] <pen> Fryguy--, why is it looking for the wrong directory?
[12:06] <fulhack> ubunubi: Aha.. So this means a vast amount of RAM or  a really minimal system I guess.. hmm.. It's interesting though. Especially for portable computers.
[12:06] <Ging> would it be too much to ask the changes to xorg.conf to happen without restarting X ?
[12:06] <pen> Fryguy--, and why is it looking for gcin not scim
[12:06] <Fryguy--> Ging: yes
[12:07] <Ging> damn
[12:07] <btnam> gdm theme. anyone know a good howto?
[12:07] <Tux2K8> how do I add an icon to a panel's quick launch??? (when I drag the ff3 link from the desktop, to the panel , the icon dissapears)
[12:07]  * dundee_ 
[12:07] <pen> Ging, you could try google, i remember there is a way to preview the change
[12:07] <ubunubi> fulhack: seeking and read/writing of course use more energy than just spinning idling (without spindown)..but i haven't run my own test to see if the extended battery life is worth the effort of configuring all disk-hog programs to use a ram disk instead
[12:07] <Ging> restarting will take less time
[12:07] <bullgard4> evince-gtk: "Document (postscript, pdf) viewer (gtk version) " What is meant by 'gtk version'?
[12:08] <ubunubi> fulhack: but the difference in power consumption to seek/read/write is fractions of a watt from idle spinning
[12:08] <ubunubi> fulhack: so you'd have to guage things like how long the system is accuring 'saved' fractions of watts vs battery consumption to see if you'd ever accumulate enough savings to matter appreciably
[12:09] <Saiko> whats the difference? full half duplex? >media: 1000baseTx-HD, 1000baseTx-FD
[12:09] <pen> Fryguy--, hello?
[12:10] <pan__> when i type in free mem is ram?
[12:10] <ubunubi> Saiko: half duplex means it can send/recieve in only one direction at a time. full duplex means there's simultaneous bi-directional communication happening
[12:10] <fulhack> ubunubi: Hmm, yes, you're probably right. The savings when not spinning down would be very very small.. I think I will look into having a small "emergency" system running in RAM though.. Say.. only having firefox and perhaps a small office suite in it. That would be excellent if no wall outlets are available.
[12:11] <Saiko> what am I doing wrong?
[12:11] <Saiko> sudo mii-tool -F 1000baseTX-FD
[12:11] <Saiko> Invalid media specification '1000baseTX-FD'.
[12:11] <ging> ok now this is very wrong
[12:11] <ubunubi> fulhack: one could setup a system that loads a trimmed down ubuntu installation into ram only like a liveCD (after it's read the cd rom contents), using tempfs on a loop device
[12:12] <ging> that bit where it told me to backup xorg.conf i wish i had not ignored
[12:12] <pen> anyone knows how to make this message disappear?sys:1: GtkWarning: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/immodules/im-gcin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:12] <ubunubi> fulhack: if you're running any modern linux OS you already have a built in ram drive setup that you can tell programs like firefox to save their cache to, to prevent unncessary HD activity
[12:13] <ubunubi> fulhack: just set mine up today actually
[12:13] <ging> dont supose it auto backsup does it?
[12:13] <fulhack> ubunubi: Yes, exactly. Hmm.. Then the question is if the power savings from the drive are worth the work.. Getting 10 more minutes just doesn't make sense.
[12:14] <fulhack> ubunubi: Really? What's that called? the cache I mean.
[12:14] <Xavura> Help! I'm using sshfs and it was working fine for a moment but just now I edited and saved a file and I got You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.
[12:14] <dusty> Hey guys, how can I do namebased virtual hosts properly inm ubuntu using 80 and 445 they always overlap no matter how i do it ?
[12:14] <Xavura> but it was working fine a second ago
[12:14] <ubunubi> fulhack:: check your pm so we're not spamming offtopic
[12:15] <fulhack> ubunubi: Ah, right. Just let me log in.
[12:15] <pan__> how rarely does ubunt use swap memory?
[12:15] <Saiko> whats the commando to change speed with ethtool or miitool? im getting ivalid media specification '1000baseTx-FD'
[12:15] <ubunubi> pan_: depends on your system specs, your swappiness value..and what type of programs you're running at the same time
[12:15] <pan__> how would i change swappiness value
[12:16] <pan__> my computer seems to be using 568 mgs of ram
[12:16] <pan__> im only running
[12:16] <pan__> xchat
[12:16] <pan__> firestarer, console

[12:17] <gherkin> This is nice, I love ubuntu <3
[12:17] <ubunubi> pan__: 877mb of ram isn't a valid number. how much is installed in the machine ?
[12:17] <ging> ok how do i reset my x config?
[12:17] <ging> this is really bad
[12:17] <pan__> if i type in free
[12:17] <pan__> in console
[12:17] <pan__> i get 877 total mem
[12:17] <Chaotic_Descent> so how does the update manager tell me that the restricted drivers are installed?

[12:21] <pukeman> i keep going in circles to try and download adobe flash player http://get.adobe.com/amp/
[12:21] <ubunubi> pan__: you're only using 42mb of swap, that's fine and not hurting your performance
[12:21] <pukeman> says i cann't do it
[12:22] <ubunubi> pukeman:: download it from the nonfree repo...not from adobe.com
[12:22] <pan__> my laptop seems to make a lot of noise
[12:22] <pan__> i dont seem to be doing anything
[12:22] <pan__> besides having firefox open
[12:22] <pukeman> um ok
[12:22] <pukeman> i ry
[12:22] <pukeman> try*
[12:23] <ging> if you delete xorg.cconf will it make a new one?
[12:23] <Saiko> whats wrong? sudo mii-tool eth0 -A 1000baseTx-FD
[12:23] <Saiko> Invalid media specification '1000baseTx-FD'.
[12:23] <dr_Willis> ging,  it has for me.. i moved mine to anotehr name however.. just in case
[12:24] <pukeman> what's the package name then?
[12:24] <pukeman> amp?
[12:24] <ging> good plan dr_Willis
[12:24] <dr_Willis> pukeman,  installing the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package is supposed to install flash and a few other things.
[12:24] <s1_> hello
[12:24] <pukeman> alright
[12:24] <the_eraser> anyone into metacity?

[12:30] <hyperstream> how to i tell
[12:31] <hyperstream> yes pulseaudio
[12:31] <mo> why does the alternate installer try to mount my swap to "none", and fails of course? my swap is a partition inside a dm_crypt on an raid0 device
[12:31] <pen> hyperstream, if  you are using 9 then you need libflashsupport package installed
[12:31] <pen> hyperstream, it's in synaptics
[12:31] <pukeman> GARRRRRHHH!!!! ever since i updated to hardy NOTHING flash related works, just a blank box....!!
[12:31] <hyperstream> thank you very much
[12:31] <hyperstream> pen: do you know if vmware can run a already installed xp partition ?
[12:31] <pukeman> there anyway to debug this or something?
[12:32] <pen> hyperstream, no
[12:32] <rakan_> Hello, how can i get the text inside a password field?
[12:32] <pen> hyperstream, you need to set the virtual hd up in vmware

[12:32] <pen> hyperstream, if you want to run xp in linux...
[12:32] <rakan> Hello, is there an application that would show me the real characters of a password textfield?
[12:32] <pen> can I add debian repository to ubuntu?

[12:36] <nullmindless> IndyGunFreak: like the Preferences->mouse
[12:36] <hyperstream> rakan: cant use some kind of password recovery method offered by this 'filezilla' ? if not i cannot help you, i apologise
[12:37] <bloodrock> hgosch1, personalize it in what way
[12:37] <ging> i can't belive it actually worked
[12:37] <Bulzor> can anyone help me with virtualbox?
[12:37] <hyperstream> pen: on no- its working on my second sound card
[12:38] <pen> hyperstream, what?
[12:38] <hyperstream> pen: i just used a gui for pulseaudio to set the default card but it isnt using it
[12:38] <hyperstream> pen:  i have two cards - one for headphones one for surround sound
[12:38] <hyperstream> pen: is there anyway i can define in flash to use pulseaudio instead of oss - oss seems to use my sblive! as my sound output
[12:38] <pen> hyperstream, I see
[12:38] <ozkelligirl> hi all
[12:39] <pen> hyperstream, so  you are using oss4?
[12:39] <hyperstream> pen: or if it is alsa(cause i bleieve alsa gets posted thru pulseaudio these days) change it to talk to my other card
[12:39] <hyperstream> pen:  im not sure
[12:39] <hyperstream> pen:  how do i check ?
[12:39] <noelferreira> hi ozkelligirl do you have msn?
[12:39] <hgosch1> bloodrock, i want that my ubutnu be anything similar to a mac osx
[12:39] <pen> hyperstream, hhm
[12:39] <erUSUL> hyperstream: install libflashsupport
[12:40] <erUSUL> hyperstream: that will make flashplugin use pulseaudio
[12:40] <Darkness3477> Hey, can anyone tell me where I should look for information about audio help? I have Intel oboard sound (and graphics :( lol) with something to do with ICH6, and I have turned the volume right up in alsamixer, but it's still no sound.
[12:40] <hyperstream> erUSUL:  i have
[12:40] <bloodrock> hgosch1, k you might try getting themes and stuff from ubuntu-art.com
[12:40] <hyperstream> what ill do now guys is write out what my setup is and issues with sound
[12:40] <hyperstream> give me 2 mins
[12:40] <pen> hyperstream, what is the driver you using in sound preference
[12:40] <hyperstream> i hope this betters the understanding of my issues
[12:40] <hgosch1> bloodrock, i'll try it
[12:41] <hyperstream> one sec- whats the command for the pulseaudio gui ?
[12:41] <bloodrock> hgosch1, then to add themes you go to system>preferences>appearences
[12:41] <hyperstream> pavucontrol
[12:41] <pen> hyperstream, if you installed it's in the menu
[12:41] <hyperstream> if you guys could allow me 2-3 mins to write this out ill explain what i have done and issues ive had
[12:41] <nullmindless> anyone know of how to save/restore settings or at least what project the Preferences->Mouse settings are related to?
[12:41] <nullmindless> I can make a patch
[12:42] <pen> hyperstream, go ahead
[12:42] <hyperstream> pen:  i installed via apt-get and it didnt install into any of the 3 menus
[12:42] <hyperstream> ok 1 sec- writing
[12:42] <pen> hyperstream, strange
[12:43] <IndyGunFreak> 2-3min?.. this outta be scary
[12:44] <SPhcT> can somone help me i need install skype in kubuntu
[12:44] <bloodrock> hgosch1, sorry its ubuntu-art.org
[12:45] <ubunubi> SPhcT: just add the mediabuntu repo to your sources.list and then apt-get install skype
[12:45] <Darkness3477> So, can anyone tell me where I should look on getting my audio to work?
[12:45] <hyperstream> today- had issues with running Audacious, further investigation showed me that PulseAudio is in hardy(recently upgraded) however, i researched it and found its a new Audio server. so i used pulseaudio driver for this application and upon reading up on it.  i found alsa also branches off and sends stuff to pulse, now it was playing thru my SBLIVE instead of onboard we'll call sblive card1 and Onboard card2, i then got the gui for pu
[12:45] <hyperstream> lse- and made the CARD2 default. since then Audacious has worked fine, a few other movie applications and such still used CARD1, didnt bother me, now that i have installed the libflashsupport for flash in firefox, it seems to be using CARD1 rather than CARD2, even tho in theroy its ment to be playing thru PULSE
[12:46] <gnomefreak> Darkness3477: once i find out how to test it i can give you the info you need 2 commands and a test
[12:46] <gnomefreak> but i would like to know its fixed before i give it to you
[12:47] <hyperstream> and pulse should be defaulted to CARD2
[12:47] <gnomefreak> oops wrong channel
[12:47] <pen> hyperstream, use aptitude to check to see if you instaled padevchooser paman paprefs pavucontrol pavumeter
[12:47] <Darkness3477> gnomefreak: Thanks. Am googling for things  now, but am not sure. I've a fairly old Intel onboard gfx and audo :(
[12:47] <pen> hyperstream, aptitude search
[12:48] <hyperstream> pen: when i installed the gui it recommended many of those packages
[12:48] <xaustenx> how exactly would i go about completely uninstalling all of my nvidia driver stuff so i can start over again?
[12:48] <hyperstream> pen:  i didnt think at the time it was neeeded. let me install those packages and attempt to youtube
[12:48] <hyperstream> pen:  brb
[12:48] <pan__> how would i load multiple programs in console?
[12:48] <relik77> hi
[12:49] <pan__> i load firefox32 but if i close console firefox disapears?
[12:49] <Darkness3477> isn't it command &
[12:49] <pan__> i'll try
[12:49] <relik77> could sopmeone help me with a compiz problem - i tried #compiz but nobody is active
[12:49] <amit> anyone help me load skype
[12:49] <Darkness3477> pan__: Yeah, type firefox &
[12:49] <pan__> if i close console firefox will be gone rite?
[12:49] <amit> ANYONE THERE
[12:49] <Darkness3477> But I think that'll close if you shut the terminal... but atleast you can type other stuff in the terminal
[12:50] <pan__> anyone here use fluxbox?
[12:50] <hyperstream> pen:  another quick question:  The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[12:50] <hyperstream>   libglib1.2ldbl libgtk1.2 liblog4j1.2-java libseda-java libcommons-cli-java
[12:50] <hyperstream>   libgtk1.2-common libcommons-lang-java linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic  linux-headers-2.6.24-16 is it safe to remove things like this ?
[12:50] <Darkness3477> I will soon as I get my sound worked out, and upgrade to 8.04.. so tomorrow sometime :P
[12:51] <nullmindless> any of u guys ever disable pulseaudio because you hated it in 8.04 ?
[12:51] <dr_Willis> nullmindless,  i just set the apps to use alsa by default
[12:51] <dr_Willis> pan__,  lots of people use fluxbox.
[12:51] <corsair__> can anyone tell me how to restart the sound server in hardy?
[12:51] <pen> hyperstream, then uninstall them
[12:51] <noelferreira> hi ozkelligirl do you have msn?
[12:52] <pan__> how do i change key shortcuts in fluxbox?
[12:52] <hyperstream> pen:  packages installed - still playing thru card1
[12:52] <nullmindless> dr_Willis: I noticed that some apps will still use pulseaudio, i had to uninstall the server. gstreamer-properties wont stop all apps, only gstreamer ones
[12:53] <pen> hyperstream, now
[12:53] <pen> hyperstream, go to menu and open the pulseaudio manager

[12:54] <corsair__> can anyone tell me how to restart alsa in hardy?
[12:55] <hyperstream> pen: opens a tiny tiny small box- about guessing: 30 pixels by 50pixels big
[12:56] <pen> hyperstream, you sure?
[12:57] <pen> hyperstream, pulseaudio manager?
[12:57] <hyperstream> pen: upon expanding it by wide and hieght it has 3 similar icons . with a left hand side filled with a repeating background image that looks horrid, and in the center is a full black background with a wierd looking icon which is also repeated at the top and middle of the left hand side repeated backgound image
[12:57] <hyperstream> yes in the sound audio menu
[12:57] <hyperstream> pen:  its called: padevchooser
[12:57] <hyperstream> pen: closing all sound applications brb
[12:58] <Raf1> install flash player firefox 64 bits
[12:58] <msingh> what's the best filesystem for a disk that will contain only media files?
[12:59] <pen> hyperstream, oops, wrong one, try pulseaudio volume control
[12:59] <hyperstream> pen: might be compiz interfearing - gonna disable that also- this happends on the 'Tracker' Window also
[12:59] <hyperstream> pen: oo that one i know
[12:59] <CostaRicanQuaker> dr willis
[12:59] <CostaRicanQuaker> !fixgrub
[12:59] <hyperstream> pen:  its open
[13:01] <hyperstream> pen: ok its open and youtube is playing sound is still outputting thru CARD1
[13:01] <pen> hyperstream, can you see the stream in volume manager?
[13:02] <hyperstream> if i right click Adobe Flash: Flash Animation and move the stream to CARD2- it works, how can i make it default to card2 - ? even tho in outpud devices ive right clicked CARD2 and set it as default(seems to loose the TICK/CHECK in the default box upon opening pavucontrol)
[13:02] <corsair__> how can i remove a kernel module that thinks its in use?
[13:03] <hyperstream> pen: including if i run it in sudo - and set it as default
[13:04] <hyperstream> pen: now loading some youtube video's crashes firefox
[13:04] <pen> hyperstream, try to search ubuntu forums this is out of my knowledge sorry :)
[13:04] <rleigh_> Hi folks.  When launchpad was set up, IIRC Debian developers were created accounts automatically; does the same apply to the forums?  I've tried to register using "rleigh" as the user, but apparently I can't do that (or reset the password--is it locked?).
[13:04] <pen> hyperstream, I have only one card
[13:05] <hyperstream> pen:  no worries- thanks very very very much for your time and knowledge- its much appriceated
[13:05] <pen> hyperstream, btw
[13:05] <pen> hyperstream, can you go to sound preference
[13:05] <pen> hyperstream, what is the device name in default mixer trakcs
[13:06] <pen> *tracks
[13:06] <dns53> rleigh_ you may want to ask on the developer channels
[13:06] <prophet05> Can i somehow tell nautilus not to stretch images that are smaller then his preview?
[13:06] <flithm> hey everyone... how the heck do I change what time the cron jobs run?  I changed the time crontab but it had no effect (yes I restarted cron, even rebooted the machine)?!
[13:06] <hyperstream> ahahah
[13:06] <hyperstream> pen:  it was CARD1
[13:06] <pen> hyperstream, lol
[13:06] <pen> hyperstream, there you fo
[13:06] <pen> hyperstream, set it to card2 then it would resolve
[13:06] <pen> hyperstream, I mean solved
[13:07] <hyperstream> pen: should i change it to: my CARD2? and also- audio Conferencing i should change them to Pulse ?
[13:07] <x-butteff> http://rutube.ru/tracks/814611.html?v=f8b123a837093ee0dea7dae79c39937a
[13:07] <pen> hyperstream, well, if you really want to be pulse all the way
[13:07] <hyperstream> pen: so crazy such a minor option causes all this, and yet i didnt stop to think about that :/
[13:07] <Bulzor> does anyone know the reason why when i close amarok and open it again and try to run music that is in the playerlist says local file does not exist and i need to search up the files again :(
[13:07] <hyperstream> pen: well i like the sound of pulse atm, i want all applications to run with sound over the top of everything
[13:07] <pen> hyperstream, :-) make sure to check this fundamental thing before set out a research
[13:08] <pen> hyperstream, actually pulseaudio would cause some latency
[13:08] <pen> hyperstream, from what I heard from other forums
[13:08] <pen> hyperstream, if you want to play zsnes
[13:08] <pen> hyperstream, you better use esd
[13:08] <pen> hyperstream, sdl-esd
[13:08] <rleigh_> dns53: Will do; is any particular channel recommended?
[13:08] <pen> hyperstream, or pulseaudio would make it scratchy
[13:09] <hyperstream> pen: it seems fine atm  with mp3 flash and amsn running?
[13:10] <pen> hyperstream, yea
[13:10] <xaustenx> is there a way to fix the problem i'm having with installing these nvidia drivers where it doesn't detect the ubuntu kernel AND can't compile the nvidia kernel?
[13:11] <ubunubi> xaustenx: are you using hardy?
[13:11] <xaustenx> yes, using 8.04
[13:12] <ubunubi> xaustenx: use EnvyNG and be done with it, IMO
[13:12] <hyperstream> pen:  thanks man
[13:12] <pen> hyperstream, np :)
[13:12] <pan__> say i did sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[13:12] <xaustenx> i have envyng but it doesn't have the most recent driver with the 6800 support i'd like to have
[13:12] <pan__> how would i find fluxbox files
[13:12] <pen> hyperstream, glad to help
[13:12] <hyperstream> pen: running firefox from terminal, all i get is: Segmentation Fault
[13:13] <dr_Willis> pan__,  files?   what files?
[13:13] <hyperstream> pen: no way to debug this crashing firefox any further right ?
[13:13] <pan__> configuration files
[13:13] <ubunubi> xaustenx: so you're trying to install an unsupported video driver...gl with support on that :P
[13:13] <pan__> it's suppos eto be in ~ dir
[13:13] <pan__> but it not there
[13:13] <xaustenx> it's nvidia
[13:13] <pan__> so i wonder where it could be
[13:13] <xaustenx> :\
[13:13] <dr_Willis> pan__,  check the fluxbox docs. - installing a package will NOT NOT NOT automatically copy 'system' config files to the users home dirs.
[13:13] <pan__> oh
[13:13] <dr_Willis> pan__,  most likely some system wide fluxbox dir.
[13:13] <xaustenx> i was hoping they'd address some of the issues i have with my card in that driver since it had "added 6800 support"
[13:14] <pen> hyperstream, try this
[13:14] <dr_Willis> pan__,  this is how most programs work. the user can copy the system wide config to their home dir and customize it as they want
[13:14] <ctx144k> hello all
[13:14] <pen> hyperstream, firefox --safe-mode
[13:14] <pan__> k
[13:14] <ctx144k>  when ill try ubuntu-server installation (8.0.4.1) i get after some secounds the follow message:  http://rafb.net/p/Gsj47698.html
[13:14] <ctx144k> anyone have an idea what i can do?
[13:14] <hyperstream> pen:  thanks
[13:15] <ubunubi> ctx144k: are you using an SATA hd?
[13:15] <trontonic> Hi, I had to shutdown the machine during a dist-upgrade, and now dpkg --configure -a tells me this: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:252: process_queue: Assertion `!queuelen' failed. Any ideas?
[13:15] <ctx144k> yes
[13:15] <ubunubi> ctx144k: what motherboard
[13:15] <pen> hyperstream, so it might be one of your add-ons crashing firefox
[13:16] <pan__> i found it
[13:16] <ctx144k> AUS P5LD2-X/1333
[13:16] <ctx144k> ASUS
[13:16] <pan__> fluxbox -i
[13:16] <pan__> wat is "i"?
[13:16] <ubunubi> ctx144k: you can try adding irqpoll all_generic_ide to your kernel boot options, to get it installed
[13:16] <ubunubi> ctx144k: it should install for a small performance hit which you can tweak later after install
[13:17] <ctx144k> "irqpoll all_genereic_ide" < that in bootoptioons?
[13:17] <hyperstream> pen: over last 3 weeks only started happening since installing them extra packages
[13:17] <ubunubi> ctx144k: not listed in boot options..you'll manually have to add it to the line of boot commands
[13:17] <pen> hyperstream, extra?
[13:18] <trontonic> sudo dpkg --force-depends --configure -a, seems to work so far, if anyone ever has the same problem...
[13:18] <ctx144k> ubunubi, upps, installation is be going on after some minuts :)
[13:18] <ctx144k> thanks !
[13:18] <ubunubi> ctx144k: you'll still have to face the problem. you'll randomly get that error when booting and sometimes it won't continue
[13:20] <ctx144k> ubunubi, i tried ur optioons, some porblems
[13:20] <pan__> anybody know wat windows key is?
[13:20] <hyperstream> pen: padevchooser paman paprefs pavucontrol pavumeter
[13:20] <ctx144k> and i saw without quiete - the problem interface ist cdrom
[13:20] <dr_Willis> pan__,  the key wth the windows logo. also called the SUper key
[13:21] <pan__> i see mod1
[13:21] <ubunubi> ctx144k: you're using a ATA cdrom with a SATA harddrive...yes?
[13:21] <pan__> mod one i assume is alt
[13:21] <ctx144k> yes
[13:21] <pan__> mod1= left alt
[13:21] <ubunubi> ctx144k: that's a known install killer...need to use both IDE (cdrom and hd) or both SATA cdrom and hd
[13:21] <ctx144k> on ca 65 mashines
[13:21] <ctx144k> that seems to be another motherboard
[13:22] <pen> hyperstream, then uninstall them
[13:22] <hyperstream> pen: (firefox:16828): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Segmentation fault
[13:23] <pen> hyperstream, without the packages?
[13:24] <hyperstream> pen: havnt tried
[13:24] <hyperstream> pen: 1 second
[13:26] <pan__> wat command tells me wat key a key is on the keyboard?
[13:26] <pan__> windows key is mod4 but i dont know wat left and right is
[13:27] <fshapps> Hi - I'd like to switch from Vista to Ubuntu. I have a dual-core Intel laptop. What is the consensus on 32bit vs. 64bit?
[13:30] <joaopinto> fshapps, there are no major problems using 64bits
[13:30] <joaopinto> for the regular desktop use the performance benefit is minimal
[13:32] <fshapps> joaopinto - I have 4 gigs of RAM so 64bit would be nice. However, I'm concerned about the possibility of components which don't support the 64bit version. At this point are there any "popular" apps which don't support 64bit?
[13:33] <ubunubi> fshapps: yeah basic things like flash for online videos
[13:33] <fshapps> Actually - flash does work
[13:33] <ubunubi> fshapps: using ghetto workarounds and running 32bit apps anyway -- sure
[13:34] <Signil> hi, I am on hardy right now.. on running finger,who,w etc I get nil.. "15:32:15 up  4:31,  0 users" why is it so?
[13:34] <hyperstream> pen: works fine now
[13:34] <hyperstream> pen: should i install packages 1 by one and report it?
[13:34] <ubunubi> fshapps: but if you're gonna run 32bit apps or 32bit plugins...that can't utilize the 1 benefit of 64bit computing -- why bother with the hassle for now? :P
[13:34] <cemunal> hi
[13:34] <joaopinto> fshapps / Ububegin , flash works fine on 64 bits
[13:34] <hyperstream> pen: wait no- there it goes just crashed
[13:35] <theblue> Hi al.
[13:35] <theblue> all*
[13:35] <Signil> hi, I am on hardy right now.. on running finger,who,w etc I get nil.. "15:32:15 up  4:31,  0 users" why is it so?
[13:35] <ubunubi> joaopinto: yes, using the 32bit plugin and some magic voodoo
[13:35] <theblue> I installed hardy off a usb drive onto my computer, and it decided to put GRUB on the usb drive, instead of the hard drive.
[13:35] <ubunubi> joaopinto: but no point in being 64bit if you running 32bit stuff to get them to work
[13:35] <theblue> what should i do to make it so that i don't need the usb drive to boot>
[13:35] <joaopinto> ubottu, no magic voodoo, using the 32bits version yes.. because adobe does not provide a 64 bits version... but is tjust that
[13:35] <fshapps> Thanks for the input - consensus seems to be for normal computing 64bit isn't worth the hassle. I guess my last gig of RAM will remain unused. Thanks!
[13:36] <pen> hyperstream, it might be firefox's problem
[13:36] <joaopinto> ubunubi, is not on the flash player that you would benefit on having 64 bits.. so that is pretty pointless
[13:36] <CandyMan> im having troble with my PCMIA
[13:36] <hyperstream> pen: how do i downgrade from the new beta?
[13:37] <pen> hyperstream, why are you using beta?
[13:37] <deamer> hello
[13:37] <pen> hyperstream, 3 is already out
[13:37] <hyperstream> pen:  it auto upgraded firefox 3 beta
[13:37] <joaopinto> hyperstream, I would you want to go to the beta version instead of the final ?
[13:37] <pen> hyperstream, I have 3
[13:38] <hyperstream> pen: 3.0b5
[13:38] <joaopinto> the latest version on the repositories, is the final, not the beta
[13:38] <cacau> 22
[13:38] <hyperstream> joaopinto: it done it auto ?
[13:38] <pen> hyperstream, you need to update
[13:38] <joaopinto> hyperstream, yes.. as long you have the updates properly setup
[13:38] <Vanisher> g' afternoon folkes, running 8.04 with an Nvidia 8800 GTS.. trying to setup Dual screen, but my 2nd screen can't get an higher resolution that 640*480 :(
[13:38] <kiosk> kira
[13:38] <fshapps> BTW - just did some looking around. Here's a good summary of 64bit advantages and disadvantages if anyone else is interested:
[13:39] <fshapps> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=368607
[13:39] <hyperstream> righto where did i go wrong then ?
[13:39] <CandyMan> does any one know y my system freezes when i insert a card in to the card bus?
[13:39] <ubunubi> fshapps: short version: pro, extra ram, if your programs are also 64bit...cons: hassle and everything else :P
[13:40] <fshapps> Yep - here's an interesting quote from the thread I linked to:
[13:40] <fshapps> One thing to remember when choosing 64bit or 32bit is that not only is the Linux Kernel progressing the distro of your choice will forever be progressing, as well, and issues that some might of had using one software architecture may not be there in later versions.
[13:41] <peta120> is it possible to run mpkg at all on linux?
[13:41] <fshapps> Summary - pain now but maybe not tomorrow :-)
[13:41] <M_Cheevy> anyone with experience creating usplash themes?  (not installing them, but creating them).  I'm having trouble setting the colours for different elements (progressbar fore/back, text area fore/back).  Was wondering if anyone can clarify.  I've tried using gimp to get the palette index of the colours I want but it appears usplash has a different palette order or something
[13:41] <ubunubi> fshapps: that can be said of anything that sucks now :P
[13:41] <joaopinto> fshapps, I am using and I don't find any pain
[13:41] <fshapps> Heh - true. Vista is a pain now but just wait for Windows 7 :-)
[13:42] <joaopinto> fshapps, not really... unlike on open source.. you using vista or not will not make any difference for the next version
[13:42] <theblue> no GRUB experts in here?
[13:43] <fshapps> Good point
[13:43] <Algyz> !ask | theblue
[13:43] <gnomefreak> theblue: grub isnt that hard to play with you wouldnt need an expert
[13:43] <theblue> pardon.
[13:44] <gnomefreak> 2 basic rules for grub 1. back up 2 read docs
[13:44] <Algyz> fshapps:  windows 7 are based on vista, so no good news here ;)
[13:44] <theblue> fshapps: ReactOS, yay!
[13:44] <Algyz> theblue:  so what's the problem with grub?
[13:45] <theblue> Algyz: when i installed hardy off a usb drive onto my pc, the installer put grub onto the pendrive instead of the hard drive.
[13:45] <gnomefreak> Algyz and fshapps can you please keep non support topics in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:45] <Algyz> sure
[13:45] <gnomefreak> thanks
[13:46] <co0lingFir3> hello, if i have my hardy up2date do i then already have the 8.04.1 release?
[13:46] <ubunubi> yes
[13:46] <xaustenx> is there much of a difference between the 2.6.24-19 and the 2.6.24.16 kernels?
[13:46] <gnomefreak> co0lingFir3: yes
[13:46] <co0lingFir3> gnomefreak: thx
[13:46] <xaustenx> er -16*
[13:46] <gnomefreak> co0lingFir3: np
[13:46] <joaopinto> xaustenx, probably, you would need to check the change logs
[13:46] <gnomefreak> xaustenx: not too much
[13:47] <gnomefreak> xaustenx: bug fixes for most part
[13:47] <joaopinto> bug fixes can make a lot of diference :P
[13:47] <theblue> Algyz: what should i do?
[13:47] <xaustenx> i'm just wondering if i could get around compiling problems with nvidia driver using the other kernel
[13:47] <nullmindless> I can't find what package "gnome-mouse-properties" is in, can anyone help?
[13:47] <gnomefreak> xaustenx: why compile them we have them in repos
[13:48] <xaustenx> where are those located?
[13:48] <joaopinto> nullmindless, gnome-control-center
[13:48] <ubunubi> gnomefreak: he's trying to compile an unsupported version
[13:48] <xaustenx> well, it's nvidia, but it's brand new :P
[13:48] <deamer> 4870 ftw
[13:48] <gnomefreak> xaustenx: in the restricted repos
[13:48] <gnomefreak> ubunubi: what card isnt supported?
[13:49] <ubunubi> gnomefreak: not talking about the card, talking about the driver version
[13:49] <nullmindless> joaopinto: thx
[13:49] <gnomefreak> ubunubi: that doesnt make sense driver support is for cards
[13:50] <Webby> malzeit
[13:52] <gnomefreak> ubunubi: unless you mean they are newest drivers and we dont include them thats not unsupported since we dont support the nvidia drivers anyway. also since envy is in repos it will grab you the right drivers for your card
[13:53] <CorpseFeeder> I am looking for a PCMCIA Firewire card that is guaranteed to work in Ubuntu. Where do I find out which cards are compatible?
[13:53] <M_Cheevy> anyone with experience creating usplash themes?  (not installing them, but creating them).  I'm having trouble setting the colours for different elements (progressbar fore/back, text area fore/back).  Was wondering if anyone can clarify.  I've tried using gimp to get the palette index of the colours I want but it appears usplash has a different palette order or something
[13:53] <ubunubi> gnomefreak: envy doesn't grab the latest and greatest. it has releases just like ubuntu. like 8.6 is the newest driver from ati but the latest envyng will only install 8.4
[13:53] <xaustenx> the problem i'm having is that i've tried a few drivers and i still have the same general problems with some stuff not rendering properly
[13:53] <M_Cheevy> anyone with experience creating usplash themes?  (not installing them, but creating them).  I'm having trouble setting the colours for different elements (progressbar fore/back, text area fore/back).  Was wondering if anyone can clarify.  I've tried using gimp to get the palette index of the colours I want but it appears usplash has a different palette order or something
[13:53] <Bullit> simple question, how to make hidden files vissible ?
[13:53] <xaustenx> and yes, what ubunubi said is true, envy is behind a few releases from what nvidia has listed
[13:54] <joaopinto> Bullit, if you mean on nautilus. just press CTRL-H
[13:54] <gnomefreak> ubunubi: the latest and greatest doesnt support cards that the version in repos dont. they are most likely bug fixes depending on version number. and are not needed and yes envy will grab drivers from nvidia website
[13:54] <ubunubi> !usplash | m_cheevy
[13:54] <Shoopuf> I am currently using Windows XP but want to install Ubuntu... So I used Gparted to make a 20 GB EXT3 partition and am leaving the rest for XP... Anyway, do I need to make a "Swap" partition with Gparted too or is the EXT3 partition good enough?
[13:55] <ubunubi> gnomefreak:: sorry but that's uninformed
[13:55] <tytytyty> Shoopuf: depends.. if u have lots of ram, u might not need swap
[13:55] <joaopinto> gnomefreak, actually I saw some feedback that some models were only supported using envy, supported as working in acceptable conditions, but I guess those are very new models
[13:55] <nullmindless> tytytyty: no, make a swap
[13:55] <gnomefreak> ubunubi: no it isnt that is what envy was made to do so you didnt have to compile the kernel modules but it grabs the run file from website. if it is behind in code i cant control that but you need to file a bug on it than
[13:55] <Seracht> hi, can you guys suggest a good text editor (similar to Kate/vim)
[13:56] <sampoo> any idea when the 2.6.25 kernel is going to be available through apt?
[13:56] <nullmindless> Shoopuf: use GParted to create "unallocated space" and the installer will make an ext3 and swapfs for you using this space
[13:56] <joaopinto> Seracht, gedit ?
[13:56] <ubunubi> gnomefreak:: it fetches only the driver that release of envyng supports, it doesn't fetch the newest
[13:56] <gnomefreak> joaopinto: and that means it grabs a newer version than 169.12
[13:56] <gnomefreak> ubunubi: it does if it is updated to
[13:56] <poningru> Seracht: gvim
[13:56] <nullmindless> Seracht: gedit is Applications->Accessories->Text Editor
[13:56] <gnomefreak> hence the file a bug on it comment
[13:56] <Seracht> hmm is Gedit good though?
[13:57] <tytytyty> nullmindless: swap is usefull, but my ram usage nv gets past 30%
[13:57] <nullmindless> Seracht: abiword is good, and gedit has a plugin system
[13:57] <ubunubi> gnomefreak: envyng hasn't _been_ updated to support the newest drivers yet
[13:57] <gnomefreak> more than likely they didnt change the version of the run file the script grabs
[13:57] <nullmindless> tytytyty: if you use a swap it will make hibernation much faster
[13:57] <gnomefreak> ubunubi: if you want it to file a bug on it for the 3rd time
[13:57] <tytytyty> nullmindless: ic.. nv used dat :p
[13:57] <nullmindless> tytytyty: also virtual memory mapping and disk caching will improve
[13:57] <ubunubi> gnomefreak: it's not a bug
[13:57] <gnomefreak> ubunubi: its simple to change
[13:57] <gnomefreak> ubunubi: yes it is. it is a wishlist bug
[13:58] <gnomefreak> thats why we have wishlist in the bug report importance
[13:58] <ubunubi> gnomefreak: whatever dude
[13:58] <mythril> anyone have any good suggestions on download managers/accelerators for ubuntu?
[13:59] <britt> is anybody else having 3D/GLX issues with the newer kernels?? For some reason I only get 40FPS on glxgears, where I should be getting 1300+
[13:59] <tytytyty> nullmindless: isnt swap virtual memory?
[13:59] <poningru> tytytyty: yes
[13:59] <poningru> but it is required for things like hibernate etc.
[13:59] <xaustenx> does alt+tab not work when i play games in full screen mode?
[14:00] <CorpseFeeder> I am looking for a PCMCIA Firewire card that is guaranteed to work in Ubuntu. Where do I find out which cards are compatible?
[14:00] <Justaman> how do you play games in ubuntu? I can not configure wine....
[14:00] <nullmindless> tytytyty: im saying that a portion of a file can be expressed as a memory segment, see "Memory Mapping" on wiki
[14:00] <xaustenx> it's just eve

[14:00] <tytytyty> poningru: would i need a swap partition as big as my ram for hibernation?
[14:00] <xaustenx> they use cadega(s?)
[14:00] <gnomefreak> !wine > Justaman (please see pm)
[14:00] <poningru> britt: the only thing diff in newer kernel is a the dri is within the kernel itself
[14:00] <Justaman> got it thx
[14:00] <poningru> tytytyty: yes
[14:00] <nullmindless> tytytyty: a good example is binaries, you only use 5% of a programs functionality maybe, so it would be nice to map the binary into memory and access it on demand using a cache
[14:01] <M_Cheevy> anyone have experience making usplash themes... I've managed to get one built and installed, but the progress bar color & text background colors are not what I expected based on the png8 palette indexes I used (used gimp to get the indexes).  anyone know what might be the problem
[14:01] <britt> poningru: and that shouldnt explain my problems. I even installed the nvidia driver from the nvidia site and everything. This is very frustrating--i'm doing all I can NOT to go to Vista :(
[14:01] <tytytyty> nullmindless: yeah.. i noe its advantages to have the whole program in ram
[14:01] <poningru> britt: you probably dont have the driver installed correctly
[14:02] <gnomefreak> britt: turn off compiz see if it gets better
[14:02] <tytytyty> but since my ram is hardly used up
[14:02] <nullmindless> tytytyty: memory mapping will accomplish this better
[14:02] <Seracht> is there an autoformatter in gedit?
[14:02] <Seracht> or know a plugin
[14:02] <tytytyty> the swap is just sitting there not being used
[14:02] <poningru> britt: why did you install from the site?
[14:02] <poningru> and not the ubuntu installer?
[14:02] <britt> gnomefreak: I tried that--no change.
[14:02] <WalloO> britt, what is your problem with nvidia card?
[14:02] <britt> poningru: Why not?
[14:02] <nullmindless> tytytyty: your ram has a throughput of X/mbs, and your disk has throughput of Y/mbps, if you ONLY use RAM you couldnt do any parellel loading
[14:02] <tytytyty> nullmindless: free shows that swap is not being used at all
[14:03] <poningru> britt: because ubuntu's package has taken into account a lot of stuff nvidia would not
[14:03] <poningru> i.e whats in the kernel and whats not etc.
[14:03] <joaopinto> tytytyty, your RAM can always be used for disk I/O cashing, that will provide you performance on something which is not RAM related and is an usual bottleneck
[14:03] <britt> WalloO: I tried one other linux distro, and that seems to work perfectly
[14:03] <tytytyty> nullmindless: but isnt the throughput of ram much much greater than that of a harddisk?
[14:03] <nullmindless> tytytyty: yes, but having the ability to get data from RAM and disk has an advantage
[14:03] <WalloO> britt, what doesn't work?
[14:04] <britt> poningru: you do have a point there. I used the website driver so I can turn off the powersaving bullcrap
[14:04] <nullmindless> tytytyty: maybe half the binary is in RAM and the other half being read from disk
[14:04] <britt> WalloO: 3D performance
[14:04] <WalloO> britt: which card do you have?
[14:04] <CorpseFeeder> I am looking for a PCMCIA Firewire card that is guaranteed to work in Ubuntu. Where do I find out which cards are compatible?
[14:04] <European-African> how can I get files of my n90 in linux?
[14:04] <britt> WalloO: Geforce FX 5200Go
[14:05] <britt> WalloO: old card--got a good deal on the lappy tho
[14:05] <nullmindless> tytytyty: virtual memory also gives you the ability to create "private" segments. A program can create a mapped area of the disk and modify it without writing the changes back immediately
[14:05] <alen> can someone help me and my scanner :D:D:D
[14:05] <joaopinto> !anyone | alen
[14:06] <WalloO> britt, is 5200 go a card which uses computer ram instead of graphic card video ram?
[14:06] <nullmindless> tytytyty: under your config if a program begins to eat memory it could cause your system to lock up, whereas my system would start disk trashing and I would kill it before hand
[14:06] <tytytyty> nullmindless: isnt virtual memory just a extension of the physical memory?
[14:06] <britt> WalloO: I dont think so. lemme check real quick tho.
[14:06] <nullmindless> tytytyty: your kernel will still be doing all the virtual memory mappings, thats part of the kernal - you can't turn that off
[14:06] <nullmindless> (err i shouldn't say can't, but never would typically)
[14:06] <tytytyty> nullmindless: if some crappy progs does begin to eat up my memory
[14:06] <aladin>  If I append content to a multi-volume DVD with "growisofs -M ...", then the new content is only visible if I reinsert the DVD. Any idea how I can force Linux to reread the DVD without reinserting it?
[14:06] <alen> i have problem with scanner on ubuntu 8.04
[14:07] <tytytyty> nullmindless: and it starts swapping to disk
[14:07] <WalloO> britt, sorry, it'S for laptop
[14:07] <tytytyty> nullmindless: wouldnt the result be the same as it filling up my ram?
[14:07] <tytytyty> nullmindless: the kernel will start killing off non critical processes den finally crashes
[14:07] <britt> WalloO: nope. its apparently got its own memory
[14:07] <ubunubi> aladin: unmount the dvd drive and remount it?
[14:07] <britt> WalloO: are you suggesting Ubuntu may not be using my card memory
[14:07] <WalloO> britt, what do you use to set the xorg.conf file (configure X server)?
[14:08] <joaopinto> aladin, maybe unomunting and mounting it ?
[14:08] <WalloO> britt, no, not at all...
[14:08] <britt> WalloO: well I was using 'nvidia-xconfig' but I also did diffs of the two files to make sure it didnt change * too* much
[14:08] <nullmindless> tytytyty: I mean no disrespect, but I think you may wish to have a good read of the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory-mapped_file
[14:09] <WalloO> britt, this is not nvidia-settings?
[14:09] <tytytyty> nullmindless: no offence taken.. i just wanan learn and clear doubts :0
[14:09] <nullmindless> it explains its drawbacks and advantages, some of which both of us have explored
[14:09] <rramalho> hi
[14:09] <britt> WalloO: no. this directly sets up xorg.conf in order to use the new driver.
[14:09] <aladin> ubunubi: joaopinto: unmounting and mounting it does'nt work.....
[14:09] <rramalho> i've just added a nvidia 8800GTS to my ubuntu 7.10 machine
[14:10] <rramalho> and the machine just crashes on boot
[14:10] <britt> WalloO: perhaps something broke supportwise on the old cards?
[14:10] <britt> WalloO: I have zero problems with my 8600
[14:10] <joaopinto> rramalho, you mean.. the graphical session crashes ?
[14:10] <britt> WalloO: and zero problems with the other four laptops I own
[14:10] <britt> lol
[14:10] <joaopinto> rramalho, switch to a terminal console with: CTRL-ALT-F1
[14:11] <rramalho> joaopinto: nop. crashes on the boot process
[14:11] <jam1> Hi guys, I've installed Ubuntu 8.04 using the Windows installer. Now, the uninstaller doesn't work... I double-click it and nothing happens, and the same when trying this via the control panel...
[14:11] <joaopinto> rramalho, then login and sudo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[14:11] <psyco> Guys, can I switch my master (linux ) hd to slave and have linux still work?
[14:11] <joaopinto> the whole boot ? that is odd
[14:11] <joaopinto> rramalho, can you boot into rescue mode and try the xserver reconfigure ?
[14:11] <rramalho> i can't get anywhere joaopinto. it just crashes. even in rescue mode.
[14:12] <WalloO> britt, ok. It seems I can't be of a big help here.... when it starts, you see the nvidia logo, and glx and other 3D options are enabled in xorg.con, right?
[14:12] <rramalho> preparing restricted drivers
[14:12] <rramalho> AND  then crashes
[14:12] <psyco>  Guys, can I switch my master (linux ) hd to slave and have linux still work?
[14:12] <CorpseFeeder> Is there no such thing as a PCMCIA firewire card that works in linux?
[14:12] <joaopinto> rramalho, that is odd.. because on rescue mode it is not using any hw specific drivers.. it is just using VESA
[14:12] <alec> does anyone know anything about downloading and running text adventure games?
[14:12] <HeXiLed> psyco yes
[14:12] <psyco> HeXiLed : THanks
[14:12] <rramalho> it just starts dumping a LOT of kernel information joakim-
[14:12] <rramalho> it just starts dumping a LOT of kernel information joaopinto
[14:13] <britt> WalloO: yes. I have done this on the other computers, and I'm pulling out my hair trying to figure out what Im doing.although I hated it, fedora got me 1300FPS with the driver installed (I just hate yum with a passion)
[14:13] <HeXiLed> rramalho joaopinto tugas :)
[14:13] <rramalho> lol
[14:13] <joaopinto> :P
[14:13] <emilioeduardob> hi! i'm trying to play games with wine(warcraft) but my notebook set the processor speed at 800mhz only, i tried setting it to 1,8ghz with cpufreq-set but whenever a i run Wow.exe it goes back to ondemand
[14:13] <rramalho> poia
[14:13] <britt> WalloO: everything seemed 'normal' and compiz runs fine (to a point--no rain activity)
[14:13] <rramalho> pois :p
[14:13] <alec> are there any repositories i can add that have text adventure games?
[14:14] <WalloO> britt, and what is your framerate?
[14:14] <rramalho> joaopinto: but it works with a mandriva 2009 live cd
[14:14] <rramalho> :S
[14:14] <mikeyfbi> Question:  Are there any beefed up file browsers other than the default?
[14:14] <britt> WalloO: WalloO 218 frames in 5.0 seconds = 43.421 FPS
[14:14] <jam1> Uhm, so how do I fix this wui uninstaller...?
[14:14] <emilioeduardob> is there a way to set wine to use a certain CPU freq?
[14:15] <mikeyfbi> i guess i'm using nautilus.
[14:15] <britt> WalloO: I about died the first time I saw that. It's not hardware related--it's gotta be software, I just have to figure out what i'm doing.
[14:15] <WalloO> britt, if you had 60 Imay have said you have a fram sync, fur 43,421 is probably not that
[14:15] <britt> WalloO: oh--and the CPU chokes too. 100%
[14:16] <BlackRose666> hi all
[14:16] <p3glax> hi, after some security updates, ntfs mounting through nautilus is broken. i just get "you are not priviledged..." when trying to mount a ntfs partition. is there a fix already?
[14:16] <WalloO> britt, you test glxgear?
[14:16] <BlackRose666> had the same on debian :D
[14:16] <BlackRose666> but with the ext3 root FS
[14:16] <britt> WalloO: thanks for your help BTW--this is just a real headscratcher
[14:16] <BlackRose666> was so weird :/
[14:17] <version-next> how do i install VNC client
[14:17] <joaopinto> version-next, just Add/Remove programs. search for it
[14:17] <BlackRose666> maybe in apt repos?
[14:17] <BlackRose666> apt-cache search VNC
[14:17] <britt> WalloO: yeah glxgears works. Basically, my Eee PC could kick this laptop all the way to the curb, and an intel 915 graphics shouldnt do that compared to an actual video card.
[14:17] <version-next> joaopinto:  there is nothing
[14:17] <BlackRose666> and yall find it :)
[14:17] <CorpseFeeder> HELP!!! I can't find any info on working PCMCIA firewire cards. I am looking for a PCMCIA Firewire card that is guaranteed to work in Ubuntu. Where do I find out which cards are compatible? Does such a thing not exist? I can't find anything on the forums except unsolved or unrelated issues....
[14:18] <WalloO> britt, it seems you are in software mode, not hardware. But how to fix that....
[14:18] <jam1> Guys, any WUI uninstaller help please? It does not work!
[14:18] <soundray> !info xtightvncviewer | version-next
[14:19] <joaopinto> verruckt, yes there is just search for "vnc", you will get the remote desktop viewer, vinagre
[14:19] <soundray> version-next: if you can't find that, you may have to enable universe
[14:19] <britt> WalloO: yeah even though I see the nvidia logo and all that, you're right--its almost like i'm in a crazy hardware mode.
[14:19] <scorpioA> smbody know server for OpenArena?
[14:19] <CorpseFeeder> has anyone EVER got firewire to work from a plugin card on a laptop???
[14:19] <britt> WalloO: lol. crazy software mode *
[14:20] <WalloO> have you tried to use a xorg.conf file from one of your other computer, just to check.
[14:20] <britt> WalloO: actually---no. I could though. Lemme pull it.
[14:21] <Kill1> hey guys
[14:21] <mo> i have a problem with the dm_crypt password dialog at boot time. it does not take my password. if i wait and let me drop into initramfs-shell, i can mount everything with cryptsetup and go on booting. an ideas!?

[14:22] <lance> i am unable to get the shutdown and restart button
[14:22] <mo> Kill1, just state your questions
[14:22] <Kill1> but i suck at computers in general
[14:22] <lance> i am unable to get the shutdown and restart button
[14:22] <Kill1> i need to install gfx and system drivers of nvidia
[14:23] <Kill1> i have nvidia 7800 GS
[14:23] <britt> lance: you logged in already and used startx ?
[14:23] <Kill1> and nforce3 motherborard
[14:23] <scorpioA> ubuntu.forum use
[14:23] <soundray> Kill1: System-Administration-Hardware drivers -- and keep your questions on one line please
[14:23] <lance> i logged in
[14:23] <lance> what is startx
[14:23] <britt> Kill1: hope you have better luck than I
[14:23] <soundray> lance: are you logged into gnome? Then you don't need startx
[14:23] <britt> lance: is there a logout button
[14:24] <lance> yup
[14:24] <the_fafa> how do i add a missing python module?
[14:24] <britt> soundray: it sounds like when you launch gnome from the console.
[14:24] <britt> soundray: hitting logout will kick u back to the console
[14:24] <alec> can anyone tell me anything about running interactive fiction games?
[14:25] <soundray> britt: lance never said that he was, though
[14:25] <britt> soundray: thats the intresting part ;)
[14:25] <soundray> !games > alec
[14:26] <britt> WalloO: apparently that computer is off. I'm abotu 200 miles from it at the moment.
[14:26] <CorpseFeeder> I am getting no where. vlearly no one in ere knows anything about firewire cards, :(
[14:26] <soundray> lance: what happens when you hit the Quit applet (top panel on the right)
[14:26] <CorpseFeeder> *cleary
[14:26] <britt> CorpseFeeder: there are sites online that will list compatable cardsa with linux.
[14:26] <soundray> CorpseFeeder: you need to say what the problem is
[14:26] <lance> britt .. i logged out .. i logged in again .. i don't find the shut down & restart button
[14:26] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> any1 here know how to remove fglrx ?
[14:27] <soundray> DroP-PsyChoSiS: it depends on how you enabled it.
[14:27] <britt> WalloO: I'm going to try the new ubuntu-ish nvidia driver
[14:27] <nullmindless> DroP-PsyChoSiS: are u trying to use compiz, do a google for compiz-check
[14:27] <WalloO> britt, ok
[14:27] <britt> brb
[14:27] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> i cant remember i said fglrxinfo and i tuned me i must install something i did and now my gaming graphics are in their chops
[14:27] <nullmindless> DroP-PsyChoSiS: it will tell u if ur using FGLRX or not
[14:27] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> no
[14:27] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> i am using it
[14:28] <CorpseFeeder> soundray I've been stating the problem for the last 30 minutes. britt - I can't find any sites which list firewire cards. I have been asking that too.
[14:28] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> i wanna get ride of it tho :S
[14:28] <lance>  i logged out .. i logged in again .. i don't find the shut down & restart button ...... what will i do
[14:28] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> log out
[14:28] <gnomefreak> ubunubi: here is the bug report i just added https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules/+bug/245808  btw envyng wasnt updated to long ago (its supported in Ubuntu repos now) as of hardy
[14:28] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> and restart from the login screen
[14:28] <alec> can anyone tell me how i add a website to my repositories list?
[14:28] <jam1> Any idea why would the WUBI uninstaller not work??
[14:28] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> they will reappear
[14:29] <cara> Hi all, I installed ubuntu-wubi a while back and today the grub4dos can't find any of the kernels.  I'm not sure what happened between now and then other than I decided to boot into windows for the first time in almost a month and a half.
[14:29] <leikao> sudo reboot
[14:29] <soundray> CorpseFeeder: any PCMCIA firewire card should work. Buy from a vendor who will give you a no-quibbles exchange if it doesn't, just in case.
[14:29] <cara> I'm not sure what to do
[14:29] <gnomefreak> alec: you need to add the repo to it not the site. most repos you find tell you how to add it
[14:29] <morbyte> im looking for a program/script that is able to change the exif-information within jpeg-images... my camera saved the wrong dates and now f-spot is sorting them in the wrong order :/ is there anything out there which accomplishes this?
[14:30] <alec> gnomefreak: ok thanks
[14:30] <crusie> hiya
[14:30] <soundray> DroP-PsyChoSiS: please keep your questions on one line. Do you get any output from 'grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf'?
[14:30] <crusie> I was wondering... I just installed ubuntu... where do I download packages? I mean... I'd love to have wine installed... isn't that on the repostoeries?
[14:30] <soundray> Hi gnomefreak. Long time no see
[14:30] <PhantomFreak> I'm having an issue with printers in Linux, have a Epson C62 on a LPD print server and for some reason it only wants to print about the first inch... Anyone got any ideas?
[14:30] <gnomefreak> hi soundray  :) it has been
[14:30] <gnomefreak> soundray: ive been getting work done instead of being here
[14:31] <cara> crusie: type sudo apt-cache search wine
[14:31] <crusie> ahhh sry... remember now... *found synaptic....*
[14:31] <britt> WalloO: installing new nvidia/ubuntu driver
[14:31] <soundray> gnomefreak: that can be a good thing ;)
[14:31] <gnomefreak> yep
[14:31] <WalloO> britt, so?
[14:31] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> soundray, nope nothing :/
[14:31] <cara> so can anyone help me?
[14:31] <lwg> hello
[14:32] <Kill1> ah my system is updating so cant install nvidia drivers right now
[14:32] <cara> that is freakin' weird maybe I'll play around with grub4dos and see what's going on
[14:32] <cara> bbl
[14:32] <crusie> hmmm how come wine 1.0 isn't on the repo's ?
[14:32] <WalloO> crusie, if there is no change between a RC and a release, there is no update
[14:33] <gnomefreak> crusie: because it doesnt fit for SRU most likely and noone filed a wishlist bug for it. it needs to be backported to Hardy as 1.0 is in intrepid
[14:33] <PhantomFreak> Anyone with any ideas? A printer which only printd about an inch then halts perminantly?
[14:33] <gnomefreak> crusie: please file a backport bug on it
[14:33] <soundray> crusie: it's in backports
[14:33] <gnomefreak> soundray: it is?
[14:33] <soundray> !backports > crusie
[14:33] <gnomefreak> ah nevermind maybe they did already
[14:34]  * gnomefreak misses my hardy box 
[14:34] <crusie> ^^ I'm still a nub at linux and you want me to bug report ?
[14:34] <soundray> gnomefreak: 1.0.0-1ubuntu4~hardy1 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-backports/universe Packages
[14:34] <CorpseFeeder> Hm.... well my current firewire card does not work. If I could find into on known working firewire PCMCIA cards, then I could buy a working one :(
[14:34] <lance> it's not fixed .. shutdown & restart button are missing in the panel
[14:34] <gnomefreak> soundray: ah maybe ishould make my chroots over again before monday
[14:34] <soundray> CorpseFeeder: is it detected at all?
[14:35] <gnomefreak> crusie: you dont have to file a bug someone already did it and its been updated in hardy in the backports repos
[14:35] <lance> is there any otherway
[14:35] <soundray> crusie: did you get the backports factoid from ubottu?
[14:35] <gnomefreak> crusie: see system>admin>software sources
[14:35] <crusie> soundray:  what am I supposed to look for there ?
[14:35] <CorpseFeeder> soundray, yes it is detected -  just does not do anything.
[14:36] <gnomefreak> atleast i think that is still the path
[14:36] <soundray> !pastebin | DroP-PsyChoSiS, please pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:36] <Reformer81> lance: You can add them back to the panel.  Just right click on the panel and select "Add to Panel"
[14:36]  * gnomefreak goes to play with something new ;)
[14:36] <soundray> crusie: you are supposed to enable the backports repository, install wine from their and disable it again (unless you're courageous)
[14:37] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> i didnt flood the channel
[14:37] <soundray> crusie: go via System-Administration-Software Sources -- Updates tab. There is a tickbox for backports.
[14:37] <lance> no.. it is not showing shutdown & restart button ...
[14:37] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> so
[14:37] <soundray> DroP-PsyChoSiS: I know, I just wanted you to have the paste address
[14:37] <lance> otherbutton i can see
[14:37] <Kill1> wats the ubuntu equivalent of winrar ?
[14:37] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> lance, log off user, then restart from login window
[14:38] <lance> i already did it
[14:38] <crusie> soundray:  yeah found that... so that's it ?
[14:38] <lance> nothing changed
[14:38] <Kill1> lance i have like a power on /off symbol on the top right to restart it u dont have it ?
[14:38] <Reformer81> lance: You added the "Quit" applet?
[14:38] <soundray> crusie: close the dialog, let it update the package lists and install wine using your favorite package manager
[14:39] <crusie> which would be synaptic... I'm a windows man :(
[14:39] <CSills> I think they call if unrar
[14:39] <soundray> lance: are you a member of admin? Check with 'groups', it should list admin
[14:39] <dher> hello
[14:39] <Reformer81> soundray: That shouldn't affect his ability to add a Quit applet to his panel, though.
[14:40] <dher> i have problems with wine, it dont sound when i am pplaying

[14:40] <ozkelligirl> hi all
[14:40] <Reformer81> soundray: Hmm... it shows up for the non-admins on my system.
[14:40] <soundray> DroP-PsyChoSiS: are you going to pastebin your xorg.conf or is that too much work for you?
[14:41] <britt> WalloO: do you happen to know what module the glx-new driver uses from ubuntu ?
[14:41] <Reformer81> lance: I got ya... sorry, I misread your problem.
[14:41] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> not at all its jst i dont know what im doing thats all
[14:41] <janbanan> Hey. Im trying to install my Creative SB X-FI Soundcard, but it absolutely won't work. I can't get through the install. Someone, help?
[14:41] <soundray> Reformer81: it does? I'm on the wrong track then
[14:41] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> im a noob
[14:41] <Reformer81> soundray: Yeah, all the users on my system can do basically whatever they want in that dialog.
[14:42] <crusie> janbanan: I recently had the same soundcard.... my way of "fixing" it was to install an old sb LIVE! 5.1 instead
[14:42] <Reformer81> janbanan: What do you mean by "install?"  The actual hardware or the drivers?
[14:42] <crusie> using the xi-fi in my media center :P
[14:42] <janbanan> Reformer81: The drivers ;P
[14:42] <Reformer81> janbanan: Just so I'm clear, you're not trying to install the drivers with the disc that came with the card, are you?
[14:43] <lance> so what will i do next
[14:43] <janbanan> crusie: in fact.. i have a sb live 5.1.. but it sucks. want to use the sb x-fi
[14:43] <janbanan> Reformer81: Nope. Sorry, im new to linux.. so.. I've downloaded the drivers from creative.com
[14:43] <crusie> janbanan: problem is that creative is pretty closed with their drivers... they hardly even support windows..
[14:44] <WalloO> britt, libgl1-mesa-glx, nvidia-glx-new   it's everything which is installed with glx
[14:44] <liuk94> ciao a tutti
[14:44] <Reformer81> janbanan: Those are Windows drivers, aren't they?
[14:44] <crusie> janbanan:  did you download the linux or windows drivers=?
[14:44] <britt> WalloO: Yeah those do install, what module do I put in my xorg.conf
[14:44] <janbanan> Reformer81: no, its linux-drivers. betas ;p
[14:44] <Reformer81> janbanan: It's a .run file?
[14:44] <janbanan> crusie: linux
[14:44] <britt> WalloO: obviously not nvidia....right?
[14:44] <Reformer81> janbanan: And where is it going wrong with the installation?
[14:44] <britt> WalloO: nvidia_new
[14:45] <lance> is there any way to get the buttons back
[14:45] <janbanan> Reformer81: when i run the install-file. i'll show you the errormessage in pm
[14:45] <Reformer81> janbanan: Just paste-bin it.
[14:45] <Reformer81> !paste | janbanan
[14:45] <Reformer81> *sigh*... or don't.
[14:46] <janbanan> ;)
[14:46] <Reformer81> janbanan: You'll still want to pastebin it, though, so others can possibly help as well.
[14:46] <WalloO> britt, i've nvidia-glx-new, nvidia-kernel-common and nvidia-settings
[14:46] <Reformer81> janbanan: But from the looks of it, you don't have the source files that it needs to compile the drivers.
[14:47] <legend2440> lance:   read post #3    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=314288
[14:47] <janbanan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25203/
[14:47] <lance> ok
[14:47] <Reformer81> janbanan: Double-check the creative website and see if it has other files you need to download.   Looks like you just downloaded a script to automate the compiling of the drivers
[14:47] <janbanan> Reformer81: .. and that means?
[14:48] <hyperstream> to install wine 1.1.0 i need to download from site? cause i just apt-getted 0.9.59
[14:48] <britt> WalloO: and under the 'Display' section of xorg.conf
[14:48] <Reformer81> janbanan: Oh, sorry :).  The file you downloaded isn't the actual drivers.  It is just a script (like a .BAT file in DOS if you're familiar with that).  Double-check the Creative website and make sure you get all the files you need.
[14:48] <Beererde> hi. something keeps overwriting my motd, what can i do???
[14:49] <lance> thanks i got it .. it's fixed thank u legend
[14:49] <janbanan> Reformer81: i've downloaded from this page: http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html

[14:52] <Danilo> My name is Rocky Balboa
[14:53] <angah> i stuck with my wireless..anyone facing problem like me?
[14:53] <janbanan> Reformer81: it's in there.. but thats not the problem.. i cant manage to install that shit
[14:54] <soundray> !language | janbanan
[14:54] <Reformer81> janbanan: And I told you you don't have all the files you need.
[14:54] <Reformer81> janbanan: So that IS a problem ;)
[14:55] <janbanan> Reformer81: look. i've downloaded a 15MB file from creative. linux beta drivers or something. it should work
[14:55] <soundray> janbanan: what is the file called?
[14:55] <janbanan> soundray: XFiDrv_Linux_US-1.18
[14:56] <Reformer81> janbanan: Does it end with .tar.gz?
[14:56] <janbanan> Reformer81: yeah
[14:56] <soundray> janbanan: have you unpacked it?
[14:56] <Reformer81> janbanan: And when you extracted it, you read the README file?
[14:56] <janbanan> soundray: yup
[14:56] <janbanan> Reformer81: yes, i did
[14:56] <soundray> janbanan: it would help if you told us exactly where you get stuck
[14:57] <Reformer81> janbanan: I can't find the download link anywhere on that page.
[14:57] <janbanan> soundray: i ran the install, but i got an errormessage
[14:57] <soundray> Reformer81: it is there, though, in a blue box under Xfi Drivers
[14:57] <soundray> janbanan: have you got the build-essential package installed?
[14:58] <Reformer81> Well, I can't find it so I can't help ya.
[14:58] <Reformer81> Sorry.
[14:58] <janbanan> soundray: i have no idea.. ;p
[14:58] <Kalisto> could someone take a look at this wpa_supplicant. and tell me whats going on? i can connect without wpa. but not if wpa-psk is enabled on my router. im using madwifi drivers with wicd:  http://rafb.net/p/OpbwpR78.html
[14:58] <Reformer81> soundray: The error message he sent me complained that it couldn't even find the source archive.
[14:58] <soundray> janbanan: use the pastebin next time you want me to see a paste
[14:58] <Reformer81> soundray: Already told him to use pastebin too :)
[14:58] <soundray> janbanan: install build-essential then
[14:59] <janbanan> soundray: how do i do that?
[14:59] <soundray> Reformer81: and he still pasted me in pm
[14:59]  * soundray shakes head
[14:59] <Reformer81> soundray: Yep... did to me too AFTER I asked him to pastebin it... oh well.
[14:59] <soundray> janbanan: do you not know how to install packages in ubuntu?
[14:59] <janbanan> soundray: no. ive been on a linux computer in only 20 mins so...
[15:00] <soundray> janbanan: if you don't, you should familiarize yourself with the system a bit before you start doing very advanced stuff (like compiling an experimental hardware driver)
[15:00] <Reformer81> soundray: Problem being... he's not going to want to spend time on a system without sound :)
[15:00] <janbanan> soundray: nah.. if i cant get the sound to work.. then i guess im back to windows :|
[15:01] <soundray> janbanan: okay, bye bye
[15:01] <janbanan> thats correct ;)
[15:01] <soundray> janbanan: you should have a solid grounding in walking before you try to climb Kilimanjaro
[15:02] <janbanan> soundray: thats the reason i asked you, my friend.. cause you've climbed kilimanjaro before
[15:02] <Rev> hello ppl
[15:02] <Maarekstele> janbanan: something didn't install correctly, because even if you had a certain type of sound card, the system should try a default driver
[15:02] <Rev> what is the terminal command to lock the screen ?
[15:02] <soundray> janbanan: okay
[15:02] <Maarekstele> janbanan:  even so, you should try the driver site and see if there is a linux version before giving up
[15:03] <janbanan> Maarekstele: ive done that
[15:03] <Reformer81> janbanan: You also may want to just try searching Google for "ubuntu [sound card]"
[15:03] <janbanan> done
[15:03] <soundray> janbanan: here's what I suggest: I'll get ubottu to send you a few links, When you think you have a rough idea of what it means to install a package, install build-essential and try your hand at compiling again.
[15:03] <soundray> !software > janbanan
[15:03] <Reformer81> Maarekstele: The only Linux driver from Creative is a beta and needs to be compiled.  A bit advanced for the Linux virgin.

[15:11] <minhaaj> anyways can anyone help ?
[15:11] <soundray> minhaaj: did you install flashplugin through firefox or through the package management?
[15:11] <unop> minhaaj, do you have the libflashplayer.so file in one of the /usr/lib/{mozilla,firefox}/plugins directories?
[15:11] <minhaaj> firefox
[15:11] <minhaaj> hang on unop lemme check
[15:12] <unop> minhaaj, sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree # that ought to be the way you do it
[15:12] <soundray> minhaaj: remove it, quit firefox, run 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' and start firefox again to try it out.
[15:12] <leemajors> quir
[15:12] <minhaaj> unop thats done
[15:12] <minhaaj> its installed, problem is that it won't work
[15:12] <soundray> minhaaj: you have to remove it again if you installed through firefox
[15:12] <unop> minhaaj, you just said you installed it via firefox not the package manager???
[15:12] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> hey can any1 tell me where i can get official graphics drivers for radeon 9200 to 9600
[15:12] <minhaaj> no there is no libflashplayer.so
[15:13] <soundray> DroP-PsyChoSiS: I thought you didn't want it? fglrx is the "official"
[15:13] <Reformer81> DroP-PsyChoSiS: ati.com
[15:13] <minhaaj> what do you mean by installing through package manager ?
[15:13] <soundray> Reformer81: please don't send people to ati.com
[15:13] <unop> minhaaj, well, it wouldn't exist there if you installed it through firefox
[15:13] <minhaaj> i have added restricted repos and sudo'ed through cli

[15:13] <Reformer81> soundray: He asked for the "official" drivers... where else would I send him?
[15:13] <minhaaj> i also tried to install it via firefox when the pop up appears
[15:13] <unop> minhaaj, package manager is one of apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, adept, etc
[15:14] <soundray> Reformer81: if you really want to be of help, you have to read between the lines a little bit.
[15:14] <minhaaj> nope i didnt install it from there
[15:14] <bazhang> wrecky pm
[15:14] <unop> minhaaj, you'll need to remove it from firefox and use the package manager
[15:14] <minhaaj> could there be the fact that it is conflicting with some other plugin ?
[15:14] <unop> minhaaj, quite possibly
[15:14] <minhaaj> sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree ?
[15:14] <will02> my kernel keeps reporting "kernel: [18810.546376]  CIFS VFS: Error 0xffffff90 on cifs_get_inode_info in lookup of /Music/S" when im connected to a hamachi vpn, to get it working again, it has to be restarted, i did some research on the problem, and it said it was a problem with the network card, but mine is fully supported
[15:14] <soundray> minhaaj: please try what I suggested
[15:14] <soundray> minhaaj: remove flash in firefox, quit firefox, run 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' and start firefox again to try it out.
[15:15] <unop> minhaaj, pay attention -- remove from firefox .. the add-ons/extension thingy

[15:22] <minhaaj> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25206/
[15:22] <minhaaj> got it unop hang on
[15:23] <fLoOd`> unop or just aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree
[15:23] <soundray> chesty: maybe you have to dig a little deeper than the ubuntu help page -- sorry, I'm no expert
[15:23] <minhaaj> it says sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[15:23] <minhaaj> err hang on
[15:23] <chesty> soundray: thank you
[15:23] <minhaaj> Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'APTonCD for ubuntu hardy - i386 (2008-07-04 02:30) CD1' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press [Enter].
[15:24] <unop> fLoOd`, thanks, i'm aware - but i choose this way
[15:24] <fLoOd`> i thought theres no difference
[15:25] <brightwebworks> Ubuntu is great
[15:25] <brightwebworks> wow..just installed it today and it got almost everything functioning on my laptop
[15:25] <minhaaj> yea it rocks bright
[15:25] <European-African> ﻿brightwebworks, its like that
[15:25] <minhaaj> welcome to real world :)
[15:26] <brightwebworks> Man, the wireless picked up without any configuration on my part.
[15:26] <brightwebworks> I didn't do anything and everything works.
[15:26] <hydroponic> nm, fixed by compiling it myself from an svn checkout
[15:26] <brightwebworks> The installation took less than 10 minutes.
[15:26] <soundray> !yay | brightwebworks
[15:26] <unop> fLoOd`, afaik, a purge and install is not the same as a reinstall - some configuration files are unaffected in a reinstall (in aptitude atleast)
[15:26] <brightwebworks> It runs about 20 times faster than windows
[15:26] <minhaaj> and its free :)
[15:26] <xaustenx> 20 times faster and infinitely better**
[15:27] <unop> minhaaj, and what's happening to you ATM?
[15:27] <brightwebworks> The 3D effects also work look a champ
[15:27] <minhaaj> nothing unop
[15:27] <minhaaj> still trying to figure out
[15:27] <brightwebworks> so does Hibernate when I close the lid on my laptop
[15:27] <soundray> brightwebworks: please join #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting
[15:27] <brightwebworks> Fantastic
[15:27] <European-African> wait till to try compiz-fusion!
[15:27] <unop> minhaaj, did that command finish?
[15:27] <nalioth> !google
[15:27] <soundray> brightwebworks: unless you have a support question
[15:27] <minhaaj> i did paste the output
[15:27] <brightwebworks> I think this is as close as Linux has ever got to making things easy.l
[15:27] <soundray> brightwebworks: of course you're welcome to stay here and help others along.
[15:27] <brightwebworks> The experience was so rewarding that I am switching from Windows XP to Ubuntu on my work computer.
[15:27] <unop> minhaaj, where to? i musta missed it
[15:28] <ariel_> brightwebworks, what laptop do you have? model is important.
[15:28] <minhaaj> Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'APTonCD for ubuntu hardy - i386 (2008-07-04 02:30) CD1' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press [Enter].
[15:28] <brightwebworks> The synpatic utility is just so easy.
[15:28] <soundray> minhaaj: so you installed via aptoncd
[15:28] <brightwebworks> I have a SONY PCG-GRT390ZP
[15:28] <unop> minhaaj, disable the CD repository and enable all the others
[15:28] <soundray> minhaaj: do what it says then
[15:28] <Hex_101> minhaaj, disable it in the re.
[15:28] <brightwebworks> Ubuntu proved to be a 100% compatible with this model.
[15:28] <Hex_101> never mind do what unop said :P
[15:29] <brightwebworks> Everything works without any effort on my part.
[15:29] <minhaaj> i have disabled it and restarted firefox it still is trying to access it
[15:29] <minhaaj> let me try again
[15:29] <soundray> minhaaj: you should either insert the aptoncd cd, or disable it through System-Administration-Software Sources
[15:29] <unop> minhaaj, i give up on you, you never do what we say and keep doing some random other thing
[15:30] <brightwebworks> ariel_: I wonder if I am going to be as luck with my work computer.
[15:30] <minhaaj> i have sound
[15:30] <minhaaj> thanks anyways unop. nice try.
[15:30] <brightwebworks> But what I loved about uBuntu is that before I even installed the entire OS I had the chance to test it to see how it would work.
[15:30] <soundray> minhaaj: if you're still getting that message, then you haven't
[15:30] <brightwebworks> Linux has never been this easy before.
[15:30] <soundray> minhaaj: or you haven't updated the package lists
[15:30] <minhaaj> i have do you need a screenshot now ?
[15:31] <minhaaj> i have let me try again soundray
[15:31] <soundray> brightwebworks: that's enough praise now, please join #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue
[15:31] <brightwebworks> ;-)
[15:31] <brightwebworks> I am good
[15:31] <brightwebworks> thanks
[15:32] <fluffles> after installing grub and trying to boot ubuntu 8.04 i get this message: VFS: cannot open root device "sda2" or unknown-block(0,0). Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available options: <<empty>> what do i do? :(
[15:32] <dogan> hi.. how i can change my workgroup name ?
[15:32] <dogan> anybody help ?
[15:32] <Seracht> what's comparable to Kate in Gnome?
[15:32] <unop> dogan, is this in relation to samba?
[15:32] <Seracht> other than gedit
[15:33] <soundray> Seracht: there isn't really a gnome-specific equivalent
[15:33]  * hyperstream anyone wanting custom vhost ? PST host name etc- going sleep in 5-10, so if afk will do hosts when next online
[15:33] <dogan> unop: i m tring to do a wireless network between a ubuntu and winxp without wireless modem
[15:33] <soundray> Seracht: you can use kate in gnome if you want to
[15:34] <grulk> Hi guys, what would I need to share a printer on ubuntu with other computer on the network?
[15:34] <IdleOne> !printer
[15:34] <grulk> thanks
[15:34] <IdleOne> yup
[15:34] <soundray> fluffles: why did you reinstall grub?
[15:34] <benben> Hello anyone, i have intel 965 graphics but xrandr -q shows I only have 1024x1024 max resolution instead of 2048x2048 on the documentation, why?
[15:35] <Seracht> oh, I can get geany
[15:35] <Seracht> is that good?
[15:35] <fluffles> soundtray: after updating to 8.04, the installer reset my menu.lst to default, causing me to have no boot options or boot menu. nice huh :)
[15:35] <lonejack> hi, has somebody installed pdt eclipse zend studio? needd advices...
[15:35] <unop> dogan, at a terminal run this command.   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow samba samba-common # and answer the question there, one of them asks you about the workgroup
[15:35] <Chrysalis> how do i look up user information, like which groups a user is a member of etc
[15:35] <soundray> fluffles: it reset it and left you without even a backup?
[15:36] <unop> Chrysalis, use the id and groups commands
[15:36] <fluffles> soundray, not that i know of. where should this backup be?
[15:36] <soundray> fluffles: /boot/grub/
[15:37] <fluffles> soundray, funny thing is, it asked me if i wanted to keep my original menu.lst or not, i choosed to keep my currently installed version. but it still overwritten it :(
[15:37]  * hyperstream afk
[15:37] <dante123> hi all, just put 8.04 on this pc for kids.  When they play Call of Duty or even go on the internet- they get this "white flash" everynow and then.  Any ideas?
[15:38] <stabbyjoe12> does anyone no how to set up hotmail with thunderbird
[15:38] <Hex_101> You cant stabbyjoe12
[15:38] <stabbyjoe12> :<
[15:38] <Hex_101> hotmail does not allow pop3 access
[15:38] <stabbyjoe12> i no
[15:38] <mako-dono> you'll need a proxy
[15:38] <soundray> fluffles: you shouldn't have reinstalled grub if all that was missing was your menu.lst ...
[15:38] <ubuntuunn> hi, can someone tell me how to speed up mouse cursos in dosbox?
[15:38] <soundray> fluffles: how are you booted now?
[15:38] <stabbyjoe12> but i there a way i can foward it to another provider that thunderbird would reconise
[15:39] <fluffles> soundray, booted livecd now, checking for backup
[15:39] <dante123> FYI, the video card is  VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)
[15:39] <dante123> ﻿hi all, just put 8.04 on this pc for kids.  When they play Call of Duty or even go on the internet- they get this "white flash" everynow and then.  Any ideas?
[15:39] <dante123> ﻿FYI, the video card is  VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)
[15:39] <Hex_101> not really stabbyjoe12 no..not that i know of, its why i use googlemail
[15:39] <mako-dono> stabbyjoe12: there are proxy software that would access your hotmail account via http/s and forward emails to another address or fetch them to your local inbox
[15:39] <grulk> IdleOne, does samba will help me doing that to?
[15:40] <fluffles> soundray, the backup is the same file; all default and commented. my original menu.lst is gone, last time i saw it was in the compare dialog of the installer when it confronted me about menu.lst
[15:40] <benben_> anyone knows how to set up dual screen display on ubuntu?
[15:41] <bazhang> !xinerama
[15:41] <soundray> fluffles: assuming that you have mounted your root fs to /mnt, you should try rm'ing the faulty menu.lst. Then do a 'chroot /mnt bash' and create a new menu.lst with 'sudo update-grub' (follow the instructions)
[15:41] <bazhang> benben_, see /msg ubottu dualhead
[15:41] <saikor> if you're using an nvidia card. Use nvidia-settings
[15:41] <fluffles> soundray, okay
[15:42] <benben_> bazhang, sorry im not really familiar with IRC chat...what's /msg ubottu dualhead?
[15:42] <soundray> benben_: it's a way to get the bot to send you a help message
[15:43] <bazhang> benben_, just type that where you type text and the bot will give you a pm
[15:43] <soundray> benben_: are you on 8.04?
[15:43] <dante123> ro quiet splash  <--------------- How do I make it so I get a verbose startup?  Change "splash" to "nosplash"?
[15:43] <benben_> yes i am on 8.04
[15:43] <grulk> hey guys, If I share the printer I would only need Cups or I will need Samba as well?
[15:43] <unop> dante123, remove "quiet splash"
[15:43] <soundray> dante123: no, just remove quiet (and splash to have textual output)
[15:44] <unop> grulk, both
[15:44] <dante123> thanks soundray and unop
[15:44] <soundray> benben_: then your first stop should be System-Preferences-Screen Resolution (with both monitors connected)
[15:44] <grulk> thanks
[15:44] <Billll> alright I tried to boot floppy to CD drive you iunstalled unbunto but it's not working, any OS you know of that will fit on a 2mb floppy, that I can connetc to the internet with?
[15:44] <benben_> soundray, screen resolution doesn't work
[15:44] <dante123> ﻿hi all, just put 8.04 on this pc for kids.  When they play Call of Duty or even go on the internet- they get this "white flash" everynow and then.  Any ideas?  ﻿FYI, the video card is  VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)
[15:44] <soundray> benben_: nvidia?
[15:45] <benben_> soundray: intel 965
[15:45] <sfire> Billll: the computer BIOS doesn't support CD booting?
[15:45] <Billll> indeed
[15:45] <Billll> a bit old
[15:45] <sfire> Billll: you normally have to change the boot order in BIOS
[15:45] <Billll> really
[15:45] <benben_> soundray: I tracked down to the point that xrandr sends back error when my combined screen resolution is above 1024x1024
[15:45] <Billll> that's it?
[15:45] <rocko_> hey does ubuntu come with non free packages by default?
[15:45] <sfire> Billll: yes
[15:45] <Billll> so i place boot order of Cd drive on top?
[15:46] <bazhang> rocko_, no
[15:46] <sfire> yes
[15:46] <Billll> alright
[15:46] <soundray> benben_: are you using the intel or i810 driver?
[15:46] <Billll> I'm gonig a bit crazy over this I'll see if this works
[15:46] <benben_> soundray_, yes i believe so
[15:47] <soundray> benben_: which one?
[15:47] <benben_> soundray_: how can i check?
[15:47] <soundray> benben_: look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:47] <rocko_> bazhang, so same goes for the other ubuntu's like kubuntu, xubuntu, and edubuntu..etc right?
[15:47] <bazhang> rocko_, yes but easily added
[15:48] <rocko_> bazhang, ok cool cause I want only free software gnu
[15:48] <Billll> alright
[15:49] <minhaaj> ok i installed flash plugin through terminal, but i still won't play
[15:49] <minhaaj> there seems to be a conflict between existing plugins, any idea what it could be ?
[15:49] <astro_> ahoj
[15:49] <benben_> soundray_: well Xorg.0.log is a huge file I have not much idea where to look for
[15:50] <Billll> Sfire: I made Cd first priority and it's still making A: drive  first priority
[15:50] <soundray> minhaaj: your pastebin suggested no conflicts
[15:50] <minhaaj> i am zapped
[15:50] <sfire> Billll: did you save it?
[15:50] <minhaaj> wat do i do ? :s
[15:50] <unop> find /usr/lib/{firefox,mozilla}/plugins/ -iname "*flash*"
[15:50] <soundray> benben_: there should be lots and lots of lines beginning (after the (II) ) with the name of the driver (intel, i810 or vesa)
[15:51] <minhaaj> it wasn't there last time i check, let me retry
[15:51] <net_ninja> hello, I am trying to install ubuntu on an old ibm thinkpad with a 500mhz celeron, and I keep getting an acpi or some junk, CD error when I try to do an intall or a live cd run, any ideas
[15:51] <Billll> Sfire: no i didn't but in the order of prioritys Cd was first
[15:51] <net_ninja> I already update the bios with the most recent i could find on ibm crappy website
[15:51] <bazhang> net_ninja, what about alternate cd
[15:51] <sfire> Billll: are you sure you burned the CD correctly?
[15:51] <m1r> net_ninja: use alternate cd for older pc, xubuntu is recomended
[15:51] <minhaaj> unop yes it under /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/
[15:51] <benben_> soundray_: I believe there is this intel.dvr module that's loaded but let me read the file ...
[15:52] <Billll> I burned CD is .iso
[15:52] <minhaaj> libflashplayer.so
[15:52] <soundray> net_ninja: try with the acpi=force kernel option (hit F6 at the boot screen)
[15:52] <sfire> Billll: but did you burn it as an image.. or just put the .iso on the disc?
[15:52] <minhaaj> but not in the plugins folder of firefox 3 ... shall i copy paste ?
[15:52] <Billll> and to check to see if it's a bootable CD I took CD out and bput it back in and it automatically booted in windows
[15:52] <net_ninja> ok cool I will try the altnate and the force kernel.
[15:52] <net_ninja> thx guys
[15:52] <unop> minhaaj, sudo ln -svf /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/
[15:52] <benben_> soundray_: intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,
[15:52] <benben_> 	i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G,
[15:52] <benben_> 	E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, 965G, G35, 965Q, 946GZ,
[15:52] <benben_> 	965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35, Q33, Intel Integrated Graphics Device
[15:52] <soundray> net_ninja: alternate is not a live CD -- try acpi=force first
[15:52] <minhaaj> ok hang on
[15:53] <soundray> benben_: don't paste
[15:53] <net_ninja> k
[15:53] <benben_> soundray_: sorry
[15:53] <Billll> Sfire: did I do this correctly?
[15:53] <dolags32128> is there a way to show thumbnails in an open file dialog box?
[15:53] <sfire> Billll: it doesn't sound like it from what I'm hearing
[15:53] <Billll> Sfire: that's what I did to chekc to see if it was bootable
[15:54] <minhaaj> ./usr/lib/mozilla or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ?
[15:54] <soundray> benben_: you're using the right driver. I don't know why you don't get dualhead config through Preferences-Screen Resolution -- it works fine with the same chipset here
[15:54] <Billll> alright hhmm
[15:54] <sfire> if the other machine wouldn't boot off it either then its probably not bootable
[15:54] <Billll> Sfire: I am using a program called imgburn
[15:54] <soundray> benben_: is your system a fresh install or an upgrade from gutsy?
[15:54] <Billll> Sfire: hhmmm
[15:54] <unop> minhaaj, my bad.   sudo ln -svf /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[15:54] <benben_> soundray_: it's a fresh install
[15:54] <minhaaj> see i am not as dumb as you think i am
[15:54] <unop> minhaaj, i never said that
[15:55] <SiMeoN> l
[15:55] <SiMeoN> ls
[15:55] <Billll> Sfire: alright I'll probably need step by step on how to make bootable CD just so I know I'm doing it right
[15:55] <benben_> soundray_: I have a maximum resolutiion at 1024x1024
[15:55] <minhaaj> gotta reboot ?
[15:56] <benben_> soundray_: but it's supposed to be 2048x2048
[15:56] <sfire> Billll: do you have Nero?  if so burn it using that.. if not get the demo version
[15:56] <unop> minhaaj, rebooting is seldom necessary with linux
[15:56] <Billll> alright
[15:56] <Billll> I'll get demo nero
[15:56] <minhaaj> i mean browsser
[15:56] <minhaaj> and btw it still won't work
[15:56] <fluffles> soundray: i did as you said, grub now added boot options for my partitions, but when i choose them i get Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition, and grub falls back to the menu again. i fixed it now by editing (hd0,0) to (hd0,1). its booting linux now =) thanks!
[15:56] <soundray> benben_: perhaps it's not detecting your screen capabilities correctly. Have a look with gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[15:56] <sfire> Billll: also burn it at 4x
[15:56] <minhaaj> i noticed there is a flashplugin-alternative.so
[15:56] <soundray> !yay | fluffles
[15:56] <minhaaj> could it be the problem ?
[15:56] <sfire> Billll: I've seen TONS of problems from burning too fast
[15:56] <dolags32128> does anyone have any sage advice for my question i'm running hardy
[15:57] <soundray> fluffles: well done
[15:57] <net_ninja> how do i get the acpi=force to run off of f6?
[15:57] <EduBuntu> hello guys
[15:57] <unop> minhaaj, do you have gnash installed by any chance?   is the flash plugin listed in about:plugins?
[15:57] <EduBuntu> a question
[15:57] <fluffles> now i can try how new wine plays modern games =) wheeh thanks again
[15:57] <EduBuntu> how can i install themes for ubuntu
[15:57] <EduBuntu> what i need
[15:58] <bazhang> !themes
[15:58] <EduBuntu> ?
[15:58] <soundray> net_ninja: F6 lets you edit the kernel command line at the boot screen. Just append acpi=force at the end. Be sure to leave a space.
[15:58] <EduBuntu> no i mean
[15:58] <minhaaj> it says shockwave flash is installed
[15:58] <solexious> [Q] Is there a program in ubuntu to down load every thing it finds in a flder on a web site for off line viewing?
[15:58] <EduBuntu> where can i become the thememanager
[15:58] <unop> minhaaj,
[15:58] <minhaaj> i uninstalled gnash. let me see if its still there
[15:58] <Billll> Sfire: are you assuming that imgburn is generic and possibly older bios would not reconize it as a img?
[15:58] <EduBuntu> it is dont a .theme or something
[15:58] <unop> minhaaj, does the flash applet load on this page?   http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
[15:58] <EduBuntu> :(
[15:58] <amenado> solexious-> try wget  with the -r option
[15:58] <Billll> Sfire that could be it
[15:58] <soundray> EduBuntu: what's your first language?
[15:58] <EduBuntu> german
[15:58] <sfire> Billll: It should look like a disc full of files... not just 1
[15:59] <solexious> amenado thank you
[15:59] <sfire> Billll: I'm thinking it burned it as a normal CD
[15:59] <soundray> EduBuntu: please try asking in #ubuntu-de -- they will understand you better
[15:59] <xaustenx> does alt+tab not work when in full screen mode of a game?
[15:59] <minhaaj> the second one loads unop
[15:59] <benben_> soundray_: on displayconfig-gtk it says Im using a vesa driver, but how can it be I have all the desktop effects on
[15:59] <minhaaj> shockwave won't load
[15:59] <Billll> Sfire: I know it is infact a disk fulkl of files
[15:59] <Kill1> hi I just installed nvidia drivers I am getting 3d effects but my resolution is still at 640x480 ?
[15:59] <unop> minhaaj, thats normal -- you have flash working now
[15:59] <DIL> httptrack or similar | solexious
[15:59] <minhaaj> whoa it worked
[15:59] <minhaaj> !
[15:59]  * minhaaj hugs unop
[15:59] <Billll> Sfire: I would not need a floppy to boot in Cd if I make Cd priority 1 then
[15:59] <static_x_> anyone know what the finder, e.g. windows key + space bar is called or how i can install it
[15:59] <minhaaj> !helpercookie | unop
[16:00] <unop> !donate | minhaaj
[16:00] <minhaaj> oh they have a helper cookie in #kubuntu
[16:00] <sfire> Billll: it should boot off the CD flawlessly
[16:00] <Billll> alright
[16:00] <EduBuntu> why donate to ubuntu?
[16:00] <sfire> Billll: even a 8 yr old machine I setup was able to boot it
[16:00] <soundray> benben_: something's strange
[16:00] <Billll> I'll have reburn unbunto then =P
[16:00] <EduBuntu> they allready have many many money i think
[16:00] <minhaaj> i would if i had any money. i am from third world :)
[16:00] <unop> EduBuntu, because ubuntu donates a lot to you?
[16:00] <minhaaj> EduBuntu:  canonical isn't for profit
[16:00] <minhaaj> :)
[16:00] <gooody> can somebody help me fix my problem regarding microphone?
[16:00] <Kill1> minhaaj lemme guess Pakistan ?

[16:02] <unop> EduBuntu, offtopic
[16:02] <danza> EduBuntu, I think it's OT
[16:02] <IdleOne> !de | EduBuntu
[16:02] <net_ninja> i am entering it from the f6 menu
[16:02] <Billll> Sfire: just so i'm crystal clear, my bios screen or the place where I change priotys for devices it's mianly looks all blue and text i think is white
[16:02] <viclim> gnome-vfs-daemon hogging my cpu usage again
[16:03] <IdleOne> Billll, yes
[16:03] <sfire> Billll: yes.. the CD should be at the top.. hard drive next
[16:03] <benben_> soundray_: I did a lsmod and it shows intel_agp is loaded, not sure if this is relevant
[16:03] <viclim> the hogging never seems to end, any solution?
[16:03] <Billll> alright just amknig sure because I've done it all =P but installnig nero now
[16:03] <sfire> Billll: make sure to burn it slowly
[16:03] <Billll> alright
[16:04] <gooody> does somebody here have used skypes audio chat flawlessly in ubuntu hardy?
[16:04] <sfire> I've seen tons of problems from burning it too fast
[16:04] <Billll> when i isntall it i'll ask you how tob urn iit correctly
[16:04] <Billll> and if it doens't work I'm gonig to cry
[16:04] <sfire> Billll: it will ask you before buring each disc
[16:04] <unop> benben_, i believe the i810 driver is now replaced by the intel driver - you might need to force xorg to use it
[16:05] <Gaming4JC> hey all :) Quick question, is it just me or is http://packages.ubuntu.com/ down?...
[16:05] <Gaming4JC> seems to me the site is dead or something... ??
[16:05] <unop> Gaming4JC, it seems to be down
[16:05] <morbyt1> yeah looks like
[16:05] <Gaming4JC> :( ...
[16:06] <benben_> unop_: would you please elaborate a bit more as in how am I to do that? I'm really just a noob when it comes to linux
[16:06] <Billll> Sfire: I'm extremly paranoid with burning now, anythnig I should do for prep for burning?
[16:06] <unop> Gaming4JC, why do you need to use it? you already have the tools available offline
[16:06] <Gaming4JC> any other place I can get some packages for Ubuntu, on an Windows computer
[16:06] <sfire> Billll: did you download the image using FTP?
[16:06] <Gaming4JC> I was going to carry it over to my Ubuntu from a thumb drive...
[16:06] <sfire> Billll: if so you should check your image also
[16:06] <sfire> FTP makes tons of errors
[16:07] <Billll> Sfire: not at all, I don't think i dowonloaded using FTP
[16:07] <bazhang> Gaming4JC, packages.ubuntu.com?
[16:07] <Billll> I downloaed file, which was .rar up i unpakced file into foler
[16:07] <kamal> salut tout le monde
[16:07] <Gaming4JC> bazhang: I'd love to: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ the site is down
[16:08] <Billll> nand burned files as .iso on CD
[16:08] <sfire> Billll: a rar?
[16:08] <unop> !xorg.conf | benben_
[16:08] <sfire> Billll: I think you got the wrong file
[16:08] <Billll> yes Sfire
[16:08] <Billll> really?
[16:08] <Gaming4JC> any mirrors of http://packages.ubuntu.com/ around?
[16:08] <bazhang> Gaming4JC, what do you need?
[16:08] <sfire> it shouldn't have been a rar it should have been a .iso
[16:08] <Billll> wait up let me see
[16:08] <Gaming4JC> bazhang: several packages, MYTHTV-Frontend for one.
[16:09] <sfire> Billll: 64 or 32 bit?
[16:09] <Gaming4JC> hmm I might try here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[16:09] <bazhang> Gaming4JC, why not just get mythbuntu?
[16:09] <Gaming4JC> where?
[16:10] <bazhang> let me check
[16:10] <Billll> Sfire: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download  <-- I downlaoed file here
[16:10] <Billll> Sfire: I'm actually not sure on that
[16:10] <Billll> maybe I ened to downlaod the file again correctly this time
[16:10] <bazhang> http://www.mythbuntu.org/downloads Gaming4JC
[16:10] <Kill1> I cant seem to up my resolution no more than 640 x 480 ! any solutions for that ?
[16:10] <Billll> Sfire: anyways I can check?
[16:11] <lardarse> is there anything that needs to be done in ubuntu to make user crontabs work?
[16:11] <peta120> ts -- /etc/X11/xorg.conf <-- why doesnt it contain a section for modules?
[16:11] <sfire> Billll: did they offer you a MD5 checksum?
[16:11] <minhaaj> !nvidia
[16:11] <jbroome> !resolution | Kill1
[16:12] <sfire> Billll: I personally always download it using the torrent option lately... reason being downloading it directy from ubuntu often ends up with a bad copy
[16:12] <sfire> torrents have real error correction
[16:12] <bazhang> !torrents
[16:12] <Gaming4JC> bazhang, intersting they have a mod distro for mythtv. but I also found it here; http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/ :)
[16:13] <spiritssight> can some one please help me with installing adobe reader
[16:13] <rocko_> bazhang, o I know it comes with firefox though but does it strip it of it's non free packages it includes my default?
[16:13] <bazhang> Gaming4JC, nice :)
 Billll: did they offer you a MD5 checksum?   <--- nope
[16:13] <Billll> Sfire: priv chat?
[16:13] <sfire> Billll:  someone here would have to tell you how to do the MD5 check... I don't know how its done from windows
[16:14] <rocko_> bazhang, see http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/
[16:14] <bazhang> rocko_, if you are really gnu-seeking an offshoot of ubuntu called gnewsense may interest you
[16:14] <Billll> what's a md5 check do?
[16:14] <Billll> I am familair with md5 encoders
[16:14] <bazhang> Billll, checks iso for corruption
[16:14] <rocko_> I know but I want 8.0.4 though
[16:14] <Billll> aahh okay
[16:14] <sfire> Billll: a way to make sure your image is complete.. it checks for corruption
[16:14] <Billll> hhmm
[16:14] <lardarse> !md5
[16:14] <Billll> well I could load up hmhm lets say startcraft and see if that's loading well?
[16:15] <sfire> Billll: see above ^^
[16:15] <Billll> if not then it's a issue with mother board
[16:15] <bazhang> rocko_, firefox needs to have flash installed in ubuntu
[16:15] <sfire> Billll: my bet... 99% on the cd
[16:15] <spiritssight> Can someone please point me the right direction for help with installing rpm on a gnome system
[16:15] <rocko_> bazhang, it can use gnash
[16:15] <sfire> I bet the image is bad.. or it burned incorrectly
[16:15] <Billll> sfire: it could be
[16:15] <lardarse> Billll: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[16:16] <Gaming4JC> thnx all
[16:16] <Gaming4JC> byes for now
[16:16] <Gaming4JC> :)
[16:16] <rocko_> bazhang, http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[16:16] <lardarse> the cd startup menu should ahev a check cd option
[16:16] <sfire> Billll: if you want to make sure the image is good download it using utorrent + torrent file
[16:16] <Billll> ahh okay
[16:17] <Billll> Sfire: I think it would eb a good move if I tried booting a comercial CD in the machien to see fi anythnig comes up?
[16:17] <lardarse> Billll: might be woert it
[16:17] <lardarse> worth*
[16:17] <sfire> Billll: that would be highly effective :)
[16:17] <net_ninja> am i typing something wrong with this acpi =force??
[16:18] <Billll> Sfire: reason beign si that i thoguht the old Cd drive was messed so a switched out out for another if it's the mother board then we got a problem
[16:18] <snadge> where can i get the package linux-igd for hardy?
[16:18] <net_ninja> i just hit f6 and type it after the other -- kernel commands
[16:18] <Billll> which means I would have to get a low grade OS that was able to connect to the internet through a wirelss card then do everything that way or soemthnig else
[16:19] <sfire> Billll: I've read its possible
[16:19] <Billll> gonig to boot Starcraft in the comupter it supports win 95 but I have installed it on win XP, seems this comupter was made for win 98
[16:19] <Billll> Sfire: that's like a last ditch effort
[16:19] <Billll> =P
[16:19] <sfire> Billll: it shouldn't matter just to see if it boots.. try the xp cd
[16:20] <Billll> I'll take some camera pictures if i"m able to do it
[16:20] <Billll> gonig to put starcraft as bootable Cd =P
[16:20] <Billll> starcaft = video game =P
[16:20] <sfire> video games are not bootable
[16:20] <Billll> NUTZ
[16:21] <sfire> at least none I've ever seen

[16:33] <j3tt> they do, but it looks like no one is active right now. i guess i'll just have to wait
[16:33] <ventusignis> is it possible to install gnome 2.22 in gutsy?
[16:34] <Odd-rationale> does anyone know whether any of the guadec presentations will be available for streaming or download afterwards?
[16:34] <FullMon-T> I am running Ubuntu 8.04, and want to connect to a Vista machine.
[16:35] <FullMon-T> oddly enough, I got the Vista machine to recognize the Ubuntu machine, but I can't get Ubuntu to recognize the Vista machine.
[16:35] <FullMon-T> Ubuntu will not ping to Vista.
[16:35] <FullMon-T> But vista pings to Ubuntu
[16:35] <CostaRicanQuake> ok i just reinstalled windows, and downloaded supergrub disk or whatevr after someone recomended thislink https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows that is the from windows option, so i installed that program then rebooted and i got only two listings one was windows and hte other was UNetbootin so i clicked on UNetbootin and it only seemed ot check that grub was there or something, so i log into windows and i-m asked

[16:36] <enigmata> Are there any helpers on at the moment?
[16:37] <livingdaylight> is there any way of reinstalling the audio suite?
[16:37] <enigmata> Or did everyone get drunk for the 4th
[16:37] <enigmata> ?
[16:37] <fumbalah> enigmata: What do you need help with :)
[16:38] <j3tt> sfire: thanks for sharing. i'm using OpenVZ so i can run several "small servers" on a not so powerful hardware. VMWare was kinda heavy for what I need. I do use it in another box.
[16:38] <DIL> make sure you arent getting a drunken answer
[16:38] <CostaRicanQuake> help
[16:39] <sfire> j3tt: my vmware box at work has 8 processors and 32gb of ram
[16:39] <ibou> thanks bazhang. But my question is for an iso already conceived for usb
[16:39] <enigmata> fumbalah: I have been working to connect my Vista laptop to my Ubuntu machine via network. I have gotten Vista to recognize Ubuntu, and ping to it, but Ubuntu will not recognize Vista. Furthermore, when I try and connect to my Ubuntu shared folder from Vista, it prompts me for a password that I don't have.
[16:39] <Shoopuf> I currently only have Windows XP installed on my computer... But I am downloading the Ubuntu 8.04 CD now... Anyway, I went ahead and made an EXT3 partition with Gparted but wasn't sure do I also need to make a Swap partition or will the Ubuntu installation take care of that?
[16:39] <sfire> enigmata: its your login password
[16:40] <enigmata> sfire: tried it.
[16:40] <karyn> des francais par ici ?
[16:40] <net_ninja> ok i am on thinkwiki and now what am i looking for?
[16:40] <danza> !fr |karyn
[16:40] <enigmata> karyn: un peut
[16:40] <sfire> enigmata: have you opened up file sharing on the vista machine
[16:40] <Roey> hi
[16:40] <sfire> enigmata: if I remember correctly they lock it right down
[16:41] <Roey> http://rafb.net/p/XFG7oc75.html  <--- I keep getting this error when I try to launch an xterm when su-ing to anohter user.  What gives??
[16:41] <enigmata> sfire: as well as I can
[16:41] <CostaRicanQuake> ok i just reinstalled windows, and downloaded supergrub disk or whatevr after someone recomended thislink https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows that is the from windows option, so i installed that program then rebooted and i got only two listings one was windows and hte other was UNetbootin so i clicked on UNetbootin and it only seemed ot check that grub was there or something, so i log into windows and i-m asked
[16:41] <DIL> Shoopuf: ubuntu will take care of it
[16:41] <karyn> bon je vais aller sur le canal fr çà serait mieux nan ? :-)
[16:41] <net_ninja> can anyone tell me how to get this force acpi command to work? it doesn't seem to change a thing
[16:41] <enigmata> sfire: give me a minute to make sure.
[16:41] <ariel_> Shoopuf, you can just run the cd and let it install on your system.  It will set it self up and even give you dual boot.  It will allow you to access the windows ntfs drive like part of it's own.
[16:41] <Caesi> hullo
[16:41] <bazhang> net_ninja, what exact model name of thinkpad
[16:42] <dominoeffekt> Anyone nice who could help me install a compiler for c++ on my computeR?
[16:42] <Shoopuf> OK thanks, was just afraid cause everytime I usually mess with the Ubuntu partitioner I end up getting rid of *everything* >_<
[16:42] <net_ninja> my think pad doesn't say what exaxt model it is but it is a iseries type 1161
[16:42] <net_ninja> and i think it is a 1300
[16:42] <bazhang> hang on a sec net_ninja
[16:43] <w10> aLo...
[16:43] <Jeruvy> dominoeffekt: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[16:43] <doughie> hey, i have installed all the gstreamer plugins and ryhthmbox will still not play mp3s. any ideas on what i can do?
[16:43] <net_ninja> but nowhere does it tell what exact model it is and on the ibm website it says 1200, 1300 and like for other models
[16:43] <net_ninja> but the closest i can find to match its specs is a 1300
[16:43] <Caesi> Could anyone tell me how I can install a GTK2 theme on Ubuntu 8.04 (is this at all possible?)
[16:43] <bazhang> http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:I1300 net_ninja this one?
[16:44] <BlakStone> What's a good image dupliate finder that shows a side-by-side compare?
[16:44] <net_ninja> yes that is the closest I can find to it
[16:44] <net_ninja> it was a gift from the inlaws cause they got a new pc
[16:45] <net_ninja> but not even ibm can tell me the exact model, just that it meets the specs of several models
[16:45] <unop> BlakStone, I'm quite sure gthumb does it - not sure about side by side
[16:45] <Stormx2> Caesi: It's fairly straight forward. GTK themes are usually packages as a .tar.gz, is that the format you have it in?
[16:46] <net_ninja> and on the tag it isays it is a type 1161 there is no model number
[16:46] <net_ninja> but 1300 is as close as i can guess
[16:46] <CostaRicanQuake> ok i just reinstalled windows, and downloaded supergrub disk or whatevr after someone recomended thislink https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows that is the from windows option, so i installed that program then rebooted and i got only two listings one was windows and hte other was UNetbootin so i clicked on UNetbootin and it only seemed ot check that grub was there or something, so i log into windows and i-m asked

[16:47] <Caesi> @ Stormx2: thnx for the reply, no
[16:47] <ddonky> Stormx2 thanks
[16:47] <gadget> but i dont know in which directory the sources are
[16:47] <Himura> hi

[16:48] <Stormx2> gadget: What are you compiling?
[16:48] <Caesi> well
[16:48] <Carpe|Diem> Is there a program available for ubuntu that monitors ALL processes and has functions to kill certain processes?

[16:48] <Caesi> gnome-look.org
[16:48] <Himura> Can i have a Desktop Sys Monitor on Ubuntu like i would have it in Superkaramba???
[16:48] <gadget> actually i need a precompiled module of the kernel headers
[16:49] <Stormx2> Caesi: System > Preferences > Appearence. Drag and drop the .tar.gz into that window.
[16:49] <Stormx2> !kernel | gadget
[16:49] <Caesi> thanks!
[16:49] <Caesi> Error
[16:50] <Caesi> does not seem to be a valid theme hmpf
[16:50] <gadget> no
[16:50] <Stormx2> gadget: There are packages for the kernel headers. Open up synaptic and search "linux-headers". Install the version for your kernel version (found via uname -a)
[16:50] <Himura> Can i have a Desktop Sys Monitor on Ubuntu like i would have it in Superkaramba???
[16:50] <gadget> i need to install the kernel headers

[16:50] <gadget> i try..

[16:51] <Caesi> = yes :)
[16:51] <carlos_> hola buen dia
[16:51] <Caesi> I can send you the link
[16:51] <Carpe|Diem> Is there a program available for ubuntu that monitors ALL processes and has functions to kill certain processes?
[16:52] <Stormx2> Caesi: Sure.
[16:52] <Stormx2> Carpe|Diem: gnome-system-monitor?
[16:52] <Caesi> no
[16:52] <Caesi> sorry
[16:52] <Caesi> Compiz
[16:52] <Caesi> does that work?
[16:52] <ventusignis> Is it possible to install gnome 2.22 in gutsy?
[16:52] <Carpe|Diem> Stormx2: gnome-system-monitor does not show all processes
[16:52] <Stormx2> Caesi, you're running compiz, yeah?
[16:52] <amenado> Carpe|Diem-> put it another way.. all process should appear in /proc  so you should be able to find the process in /proc
[16:52] <Stormx2> Carpe|Diem: Yes it does.
[16:52] <Caesi> no :)

[16:53] <Caesi> I wasn't sure I had to install it separately, thanks :)
[16:53] <Stormx2> Caesi: Compiz has it's own theme manager. Do some research, check the documentation.

[17:06] <Himura> type in terminal sudo -i and then to launch type madwifi

[17:36] <JuJuBee> amenado : does it matter if I use wep or not?
[17:36] <Linuxkeitaro> amenado - if I do that the computer freezes
[17:36] <tim_> but when i enable port forwarding for 6667 that still does nothing
[17:36] <ikonia> Linuxkeitaro: thats a pretty solid hardware error normally
[17:36] <JuJuBee> amenado : No DHCPOFFERS received
[17:36] <amenado> JuJuBee-> i would try no encryption first to see if it works, then enable the wep after verification
[17:36] <tim_> i am having trouble connecting with irc
[17:36] <munk_> amenado, this is what i have when its all working http://pastebin.com/m38ff6611
[17:36] <punzada> anyone reccomend decent screencap software? (want to show a friend of mine how my desktop environment + cube is setup)
[17:36] <ikonia> JuJuBee: are you associated with an access point ?
[17:36] <rbd> hey guys, is packages.ubuntu.com down again for folks? are there any mirrors anyone knows of?
[17:37] <Linuxkeitaro> i can't do the ctrl-alt-f# terminals iwth this machine - it just feezes up
[17:37] <ikonia> rbd: I can reach it
[17:37] <VladimirBG> errr, this is kinda important, is the load cycle bug still present in ubuntu? (killing some laptop hdds)
[17:37] <amenado> Bill_MI-> not totally useless.. you can look at the properties of those links yes?
[17:37] <Linuxkeitaro> it's an emachine with an ATI card
[17:37] <ikonia> VladimirBG: there is still a bug open for it
[17:37] <rbd> ikonia: hmm, ok...maybe some routing problem with my ISP then (II just can't get to that site)
[17:37] <ikonia> rbd: just tested it, it responds fine
[17:37] <Bill_MI> amenado, yes.  Been doing that for 4 months.
[17:37] <Linuxkeitaro> but I can login via failsafe terminal and put in commands that way
[17:37] <amenado> Linuxkeitaro-> it freezes when you try ctrl+alt+f1  ?
[17:38] <Linuxkeitaro> amenado - yes
[17:38] <VladimirBG> ikonia, thanks
[17:38] <Linuxkeitaro> amenado - but not from the login screen
[17:38] <rizkhan> JuJuBee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25216/
[17:38] <Linuxkeitaro> I was able to ctrl-alt-f1 from the login screen and log in
[17:38] <amenado> Linuxkeitaro->a new install you say?
[17:38] <tannji> Anyone familiar with setting up Pulse Audio?  I get sound indicated via volume meters, but no sound to speakers
[17:39] <Linuxkeitaro> brand new
[17:39] <JuJuBee> amenado : no DHCPOFFERS again.
[17:39] <ikonia> JuJuBee: are you associated with an access point
[17:39] <Amir_> ok guys, this one falls under the "why the heck did I do that?!" category:
[17:39] <amenado> JuJuBee-> check if you are associated first before issuing the dhclient wlan0
[17:40] <JuJuBee> unassociated , but lists the essid
[17:40] <Linuxkeitaro> oh - I was able to get in with failsafe gnome
[17:40] <munk_> amenado, it doesnt do it now so i can take those numbers down...:(
[17:40] <ikonia> JuJuBee: thats why then
[17:40] <Linuxkeitaro> is there something I should do now that I'm in here?
[17:40] <JuJuBee> How do I make it associate...
[17:40] <Linuxkeitaro> for normal gnome to work
[17:40] <ikonia> Linuxkeitaro: check your gdm log
[17:40] <amenado> munk_-> steadier connections? thats good neww
[17:40] <daYZman-w> i'm trying to install wireless on gutsy, but i can't see the wlan0 interface under sudo iwlist scanning. does anyone know how i can install it?
[17:40] <ikonia> JuJuBee: it should assoticate if the essid and encyption setup is correct
[17:41] <Linuxkeitaro> ikonia - what file should I cat to see the gdm log?
[17:41] <ikonia> JuJuBee: and assuming it's in range of course
[17:41] <JuJuBee> I turned off encryption
[17:41] <DIL_VBOX> seewt
[17:41] <JuJuBee> Yes, 5 ft. away
[17:41] <amenado> daYZman-w-> its sudo  iwlist wlan0 scan
[17:41] <JuJuBee> 89 strength
[17:41] <ikonia> Linuxkeitaro: look in /var/log/gdm
[17:41] <munk_> amenado, no not really cuz that means i cant troubleshoot to see what the problem is when it doesnt work:( i prefer it to not work and fix it rather than having it work now and in 5 minutes pissing me off
[17:41] <ikonia> Linuxkeitaro: also check the syslog
[17:41] <Amir_> I dual boot ubuntu and vista, and I wanted to get rid of the ubuntu partition (cuz I had made it wrong) and so I booted ubuntu from cd, wen into gparted and deleted the ubuntu partitions, but now when I turn on the computer grub gives me a 522 error, and I can't boot into Vista! Help!
[17:42] <Linuxkeitaro> I clicked on hardware drivers while waiting for your response and I saw that the ATI driver is not in use
[17:42] <ikonia> Amir_: because you need the menu.lst on the deleted partition for grub to work
[17:42] <Linuxkeitaro> should that matter?
[17:42] <DIL_VBOX> fixmbr
[17:42] <ikonia> Amir_: I suggest you either re-install grub, or re-install the vista bootloader
[17:42] <amenado> munk_-> well just hang around, perhaps the sun spot that was affecting your signal is in more favorable position now :P
[17:42] <munk_> amenado, dmesg gives me something abotu my wireless im just not sure how to interpret it..
[17:42] <perlsyntax_> i didn't know ubuntu piclk up my usb drive:)
[17:42] <ikonia> Amir_: if your re-installing ubuntu anyway, that problem will go away post install
[17:42] <perlsyntax_> :O
[17:42] <munk_> amenado, all the time im sitting in the same room with my router..
[17:42] <Bill_MI> amenado, this truncation at the "?" doesn't happen in XFCE4.  This is a clue something in GNOME is trashing the URL.  Any ideas where that may be?
[17:43] <amenado> munk_-> try to paste it in pastebin, will give it a shot
[17:43] <Amir_> ikonia: by reinstall the vista bootloader I assume you mean to insert the vista cd and click repair startup...which I did and it told me there were no problems...
[17:43] <ctx144k> anyone knows where to get ubuntu-server 8.04? (i dont mean 8.0.4.1)
[17:43] <Linuxkeitaro> the gdm log says something about RADEONProbeOutputModes
[17:43] <DIL_VBOX> DIL, test
[17:43] <amenado> Bill_MI-> not sure, i was merely giving you a different suggestion to get around it, not really getting rid of the bug.
[17:43] <ikonia> Amir_: are you going to re-install ubuntu
[17:43] <ikonia> Amir_: fix install is not the same
[17:43] <ikonia> DIL_VBOX: worked
[17:43] <ctx144k> and anyone knows for what is the prozess console-kit-daemon?
[17:44] <DIL_VBOX> yes
[17:44] <Bill_MI> Thanks, amenado,   I appreciate the suggestions.
[17:44] <``Cube> hey guys
[17:44] <equiv> how do i get suspend and hibernate to work on my dell laptop?
[17:44] <Amir_> ikonia: I prefer to get vista working before I reinstall ubuntu cuz I only have the cd for 7.10 and I wanted to download the latest one on vista first
[17:44] <ikonia> Amir_: you can install 7.10 and upgrade
[17:44] <Amir_> ikonia: so how do I reinstall the vista bootloader?
[17:44] <``Cube> is there some piece of software that updates or at least notifes you that e.g. your pidgin/inkscape/gimp is not the latest version?
[17:45] <munk_> amenado, this is the last page of my dmesg which is extremely long: http://pastebin.com/m5c4c3ea0
[17:45] <Amir_> ikonia: but upgrading isn't as good as installing fresh, as I've found
[17:45] <Bill_MI> amenado, I figure ubuntuforums.org gets a LOT of hits on that truncated URL bug. :-)
[17:45] <daYZman-w> amenado, it says "Interface doesn't support scanning"
[17:45] <amenado> Bill_MI-> probably they do..
[17:45] <Linuxkeitaro> ``Cube -> it tells you in the top right hand corner
[17:45] <ikonia> Amir_: download and burn off the livecd then
[17:45] <Amir_> ikonia: can I reinstall grub without reinstalling ubuntu?
[17:45] <Linuxkeitaro> a little update icon
[17:45] <ikonia> Amir_: no, you can't re-install grub as there will still be no partition for the menu.lst to exist on
[17:45] <MrLinux> I have a question, there is a application that will costumize the bash ? I mean for every user I create.. to make it colored
[17:46] <ikonia> Amir_: I suggest you download and burn the 8.04 cd from the 7.10 livecd
[17:46] <amenado> daYZman-w-> its sudo  iwlist wlan0 scan  <-- i used wlan0, replaced it with your correct interface name maybe eth0? ath0? eth1 ?
[17:46] <``Cube> Linuxkeitaro: yea, but it's not always fast, sometimes takes weeks for ubuntu rep to get the latest, OR AM I WRONG (I MIGHT BE WRONG INDEED, PLEASE HELP ME THEN)
[17:46] <ikonia> MrLinux: that can be done in users .profile
[17:46] <Kohlrak> i had to force close nautilus, now i can't save anything and certain programs are freezing. I typed a crap load of stuff that i didn't save, is there any way to fixthis without rebooting?
[17:46] <Amir_> ikonia: ok, last question before I do that...can I reinstall the vista bootloader somehow?
[17:46] <ikonia> ``Cube: there is no need for cas lock
[17:46] <ikonia> Amir_: sure, but why go to the effort if you don't need to
[17:46] <MrLinux> ikonia : But I want to make it by default
[17:46] <MrLinux> ikonia : for every user
[17:46] <DIL_VBOX> with XP you would boot to safe mode and do fixmbr - google fixmber vista see what you get
[17:46] <Linuxkeitaro> ``Cube - most distros don't have the absolute latest - they need to test for stability first
[17:46] <``Cube> ikonia: sorry, that was unintended!
[17:46] <ikonia> MrLinux: what sort of customisation ?
[17:46] <ikonia> DIL_VBOX: same in vista
[17:47] <Amir_> ikonia: (also, I just really want to make sure vista still works, because I've got some important files there that I didn't backup!)
[17:47] <MrLinux> ikonia : I want to make it colored
[17:47] <ikonia> Amir_: then I still suggest you use ubuntu to mount the partition to check the vista data
[17:47] <``Cube> Linuxkeitaro: alright! so, about how much time after official release is the package marked as update?
[17:47] <``Cube> usually?
[17:47] <ikonia> MrLinux: in what way coloured ?
[17:47] <JuJuBee> I tried using knetworkmanager to connect, I now have an accesspoint MAC, but stull says unassociated
[17:47] <daYZman-w> amenado, how do i find out which interface name the wlan is using?
[17:47] <Amir_> how do I do that?
[17:47] <amenado> munk_-> from your paste line 5 iwl3945: Microcode SW error detected.  Restarting 0x82000008.  <-- seems like iwl3945 driver is faulty with your nic card
[17:47] <ikonia> Amir_: boot the ubuntu livecd - visit places in the gnome menu and you should see your vist disk
[17:48] <Linuxkeitaro> ok, so I can login to FAILSAFE Gnome and get to a desktop - but still no regular Gnome
[17:48] <ikonia> Amir_: however, as your in the livecd anyway, why not download and butn 8.04
[17:48] <amenado> daYZman-w-> try  sudo iwconfig  and it should list which wireless interfaces you have
[17:48] <MrLinux> ikonia : what do you mean ? I just simply want to make 'example@server:~' colored
[17:48] <Linuxkeitaro> I just turned on fglrx to see if that helps
[17:48] <ikonia> Linuxkeitaro: I suspect your video card drivers are the issue
[17:48] <munk_> amenado, and what can i do?
[17:48] <Kohlrak> Amir_, be careful........ it is very hard to get to linux from a MS mbr
[17:48] <Linuxkeitaro> ikonia:  we'll see now if enablings fglrx helps at all
[17:48] <ikonia> MrLinux: then modify the default .bashrc
[17:48] <Amir_> ikonia: uh oh...I'm in the the live cd and it's not detecting the vista disk
[17:48] <JuJuBee> ikonia : if iwconfig shows the access point MAC, does that mean it associated?
[17:49] <ikonia> JuJuBee: no
[17:49] <Amir_> kohlrak: what do you suggest?
[17:49] <Linuxkeitaro> there we go - that did it
[17:49] <Linuxkeitaro> :)
[17:49] <amenado> munk_-> look around for a good driver, google for it, iwl3945   see what others have as problem and solutions
[17:49] <equiv> how can i get 3D acceleration to work with a nvidia gefoce 440 4 go?
[17:49] <daYZman-w> amenado, i see. i only have lo and eth0, both have no wireless extensions.
[17:49] <Linuxkeitaro> boo for proprietary drivers, but yay for you guys including them so the desktop would actually load up
[17:49] <haggis> Hi! How do I keep aptitude from removing packages that are unused?
[17:49] <JuJuBee> Don't know why it wont associate.  I never had trouble before I went to this conference and used their wifi.
[17:49] <Kohlrak> Amir_, the current boot loader should allow you to use vista... if it doesn't, you may have accidentally deleted vista
[17:49] <munk_> amenado, yeah im doing that now and im trying to find a solution, at least now i know where the problem is...thanks
[17:49] <JuJuBee> What can I try to fix?
[17:49] <ikonia> Kohlrak: thats not what he's doing - don't worry
[17:49] <Kohlrak> I heard vista is a pain with dual boot machines
[17:50] <ikonia> Amir_: download ubuntu 8.04 and it will all work
[17:50] <LSD|Ninja> I don't know what driver is on the CD but Ubuntu supported the Intel 3945 without any trouble for me in 8.04
[17:50] <ikonia> Kohlrak: nah, straight forward
[17:50] <MrLinux> ikonia : if I modify the .bashrc for root, all users will have the same ?
[17:50] <amenado> daYZman-w-> then you dont have your wireless activated, get a working driver for it..if it is bcm43xx type of chips, i cant help you on that, i lost far too many hair troubleshooting that
[17:50] <Amir_> kohlrak, ikonia: oh, wait, if I go into computer on the live cd it detects the vista drive
[17:50] <Amir_> and I can access my files
[17:50] <ikonia> MrLinux: no, root is not the default user
[17:50] <Amir_> does that mean reinstalling ubuntu will fix it for sure?
[17:50] <MrLinux> ikonia : the sudo user ?
[17:50] <amenado> munk_-> you're welcome, i wish i could be more of help..
[17:50] <LSD|Ninja> Linuxkeitaro: including the hardware drivers control panel was one of the best things Ubuntu ever did
[17:50] <Kohlrak> Amir_, yea... It doesn't lable the drives ABCD and so forth.
[17:50] <fok|zz> how can i get  the sound blaster x-fi to work i got the drivers, i just dont kow how to install them they have an installer and a tar.bz2
[17:51] <ikonia> MrLinux: no - /etc/skel is the skel directory, update in there, then any new users will get that bashrc in their home dir
[17:51] <amenado> LSD|Ninja-> perhaps you can assist munk_ he's having difficulty with it
[17:51] <bakarat> i'm running 7.10 with kernel 2.6.22 it seems, it is possible to update this to 2.6.24/25?
[17:51] <Linuxkeitaro> LSD|Ninja - I agree
[17:51] <bakarat> (truecrypt is complaining)
[17:51] <Linuxkeitaro> plus, now my wife's aunt won't have to deal with virii anymore!
[17:51] <Kohlrak> is there an equivalent to "start-> run" in linux?
[17:51] <daYZman-w> amenado, right, i think it is.
[17:51] <AlphaXero> alt+f2?
[17:51] <bakarat> Kohlrak: alt+F2 i believe
[17:51] <``Cube> Kohlrak: the terminal
[17:51] <fok|zz> how can i get  the sound blaster x-fi to work i got the drivers, i just dont kow how to install them they have an installer and a tar.bz2
[17:51] <ikonia> Kohlrak: alt+f2
[17:52] <Linuxkeitaro> I installed the 'buntu because she had 40 cpu viruses on WinXP
[17:52] <Kohlrak> i can't use the termninal, that's why i need this
[17:52] <Kohlrak> thank you
[17:52] <fok|zz> any help with that ?
[17:52] <Linuxkeitaro> and this isnt' the first time it's happened
[17:52] <``Cube> fok|zz: it doesn't work, I got that too :(
[17:52] <bakarat> Kohlrak: you can't use the terminal? :|
[17:52] <JuJuBee> ikonia : it seems to have noticed that I changed channels (freq) but still wont associate.
[17:52] <amenado> daYZman-w-> good luck, there are some here that are able to make that bcm43xx work though
[17:52] <LSD|Ninja> amenado: all I know is what happened when I booted the desktop CD on my sisters Lenovo (which I'd fitted an Intel wireless card into in place of the original broadcom), I haven't really played around with it as much as the Atheros cards I ususally use
[17:52] <Kohlrak> bakarat, no i can't
[17:52] <bakarat> Kohlrak: why not?
[17:52] <fok|zz> CUBE - > so what do i need to do install onboard  ?
[17:52] <ikonia> JuJuBee: just use iwconfig to set the correct parameters
[17:52] <Linuxkeitaro> that reminds me do any of the packages - such as mplayer-mozplugin play wmv files in Firefox?
[17:52] <Kohlrak> something went wrong with the hard drive after i opened so many files
[17:52] <bakarat> anyone? kernel 2.6.24/25 in ubuntu 7.10, how does one do it?
[17:52] <AlphaXero> also if you want a general app launcher try GnomeDo. Its not quite as polished as Quicksilver but it works
[17:52] <Kohlrak> i hadto force close nautilus
[17:53] <tim_> trying to update and getting: http://pastie.org/228200, can anyone help?
[17:53] <ikonia> bakarat: dont do it
[17:53] <amenado> LSD|Ninja-> oh well, i did direct munk to look aroung google for solutions...
[17:53] <bakarat> ikonia: but truecrypt is complaining that with kernels prior to 2.6.24, my system may freeze up randomly on writing :(
[17:53] <``Cube> fok|zz: there is no way to get these drivers working, I got that soundcard as well, tried _anything_, but nothing worked, had even to reinstall ubuntu because it ****ed something up
[17:53] <chjunior> how do I upgrade edubuntu from 6.06 to 8.04?
[17:53] <LSD|Ninja> chjunior: just let the update manager handle it
[17:53] <AlphaXero> anyway, i dropped in to see whether anyone else was experiencing random gnome crashes
[17:53] <ikonia> bakarat: but ubuntu 7.10 is not built around that kernel, so will complain a lot more
[17:53] <``Cube> chjunior: exactly
[17:53] <burdenx> hi, i tried to install some new panel applets, but when i go to "Add to panel" , I can't find them in there, they don't appear, I only have what came installed with my ubuntu, any idea?
[17:54] <bakarat> ikonia: is there an alternative (and preferably as easy) way to encrypt a partition in ubuntu?
[17:54] <chjunior> LSD|Ninja: it didnt't, I think
[17:54] <amenado> tim_-> open up your  /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the duplicates?
[17:54] <``Cube> burdenx: which panels?
[17:54] <ikonia> bakarat: run the risk
[17:54] <carpediem> tim_: you have both feisty and gutsy in your sources.list
[17:54] <LSD|Ninja> chjunior: unless you tell it otherwise the update manager will only prompt you for new LTS releases
[17:54] <tim_> amenado: o.k. that is all -- i just have some duplicates
[17:54] <burdenx> ``Cube, the normal panels i have on my desktop, top and bottom panel
[17:54] <carpediem> tim_: that's not a good thing
[17:54] <tim_> carpediem: thanks, i'll fix that
[17:54] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> Anyone can u pls help me get a higher refresh rate in ubuntu?? i used refreshlock in windows but now i dont know what to use :/
[17:54] <Kohlrak> is there a way to access the terminal without the terminal window or alt + f2 in gnome and without rebooting? XD
[17:54] <``Cube> burdenx: yea, but what did you install
[17:55] <carpediem> tim_: just put a # in front of the feisty ones if you are running gutsy
[17:55] <LSD|Ninja> DroP-PsyChoSiS: try displayconfig-gtk
[17:55] <ikonia> Kohlrak: why can't you use a terminal or alt+f2
[17:55] <tim_> i think i am running gutsy
[17:55] <LSD|Ninja> DroP-PsyChoSiS: you have to run it in a terminal, probably with sudo
[17:55] <burdenx> ``Cube, i installed a couple of applets from here http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/some-gnome-panel-applets-you-may-not.html
[17:55] <JuJuBee> ikonia : I turned off security (wep) so I left out those lines. I still cannot get  a lease.
[17:55] <carpediem> tim_: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:55] <Beererde> hi. something keeps overwriting my motd, what can i do???
[17:55] <amenado> tim_-> yeah, do not mix the repository sources..just pick one that matchers yours
[17:55] <Kohlrak> alt+f2 isn't working, and terminal was busted when i force closed nautilus for freezing. Trying to get into a terminal to find why the heck nothin'gs working
[17:55] <ikonia> JuJuBee: check all your settings
[17:55] <LSD|Ninja> DroP-PsyChoSiS: resolution selection has been a weak point in X for years though, don't hold your breath
[17:55] <tim_> not sure how they got mixed . . .
[17:56] <ikonia> Kohlrak: a terminal should not be effected by nautlius
[17:56] <burdenx> ``Cube, GNOME IP display applet and Bubbling Load Monitoring
[17:56] <Beererde> DroP-PsyChoSiS: have a crt?
[17:56] <ikonia> Kohlrak: if your desktop has hung ctrl+ald+backspace will reset your desktop
[17:56] <JuJuBee> ikonia : iwconfig eth1 shows correct ESSID, Mode, Freq, AP... but wont get a lease
[17:56] <Kohlrak> ikonia, some how it was
[17:56] <``Cube> burdenx: did you try killing and restarting gnome panel?
[17:56] <amenado> Beererde-> remove the write perms for other than root?
[17:56] <tannji> can anyone help me configure Pulse Audio?  I get sound indicated in volume meters, but no sound to speakers
[17:56] <burdenx> ``Cube, no, how can i do that?
[17:56] <Kohlrak> well, ikonia, i'm trying to save, now, alot of typing i did, but even gedit got hung
[17:56] <ikonia> JuJuBee: so that looks quite reasonable, is your wirless router your dhcp server, or is that another machine
[17:56] <JuJuBee> Yes
[17:56] <ikonia> Kohlrak: if your desktop has hung - it's gone
[17:57] <Amir_> ikonia: what does the trouble of reinstalling the vista bootloader involve?
[17:57] <Beererde> amenado: i set it to read only... but i could try that aswell
[17:57] <tc111> between kernel 2.6....-16 and 19, my password is no longer accepted for my encrypted LVM (/, /home, swap). 16 work fine, 18 & 19 do not. Any idea how to correct this problem?
[17:57] <Kohlrak> ok, thanks anyway
[17:57] <kthakore> /j #c++
[17:57] <ikonia> JuJuBee: can you stick ifconfig -a and iwconfig in a pastebin please.
[17:57] <Kohlrak> Amir_, no access to linux XD
[17:57] <JuJuBee> sure
[17:57] <Beererde> tc111: checked keyboard layout?
[17:57] <ikonia> Amir_: just a bit of messing around, why do you want to bother with this, re-installing ubuntu as you said you plan to do will resolve this quick
[17:57] <tc111> Beererde: why?
[17:58] <Beererde> tc111: maybe the newer kernel has another keyboard map
[17:58] <ikonia> Beererde: nope
[17:58] <burdenx> ``Cube, killall gnome-panel ?
[17:58] <DIL_VBOX> Amir_, listen to the man
[17:58] <Bill_MI> AlphaXero, can gnome-do take over launching *.desktop files to get around a bug?  It would have to get the URL out of file.
[17:58] <tc111> Beererde: would it choose a different map when upgrading using aptitude or the update-manager?
[17:58] <Beererde> tc111: no..
[17:59] <burdenx> ``Cube, Thanks a lot, worked :D
[17:59] <Amir_> ikonia: mostly becase I have a project I was working on that is due tomorrow and it's in vista... I just wanna get in there fast and deal with reinstalling ubuntu later
[17:59] <AlphaXero> So Gnome random restarts on me and every time I return from Suspend my sound is gone. If anyone has ideas please let me know :-)
[17:59] <AlphaXero> i'm not sure bill
[17:59] <rand0m> i was running gdesklets yesterday but i seem to have closed all of the desklets i was using to save resources - the gdesklet still appears in the tray and there's nothing happens when i left or right click it.. what do i do ?
[17:59] <tc111> Beererde: ok, i'm game for another suggestion...
[17:59] <ikonia> Amir_: so why don't you say this instead of dragging this out - just say "i'm not re-installing ubuntu, I need to use vista now"
[17:59] <amenado> tc111-> thats a risk with encryption, you have to make sure you have a backup before doing any upgrades or else..you'd get a deadweight..
[18:00] <ikonia> Amir_: boot from a windows vista CD, drop into rescue mode and use "fixboot" options as DIL_VBOX suggested earlier
[18:00] <Beererde> tc111: are you sure it just not accepts the password, or does it maybe not load a driver correctly?
[18:00] <anabelle> HELLO
[18:00] <JuJuBee> ikonia : http://paste.ubuntu.com/25220/
[18:00] <anabelle> im configuring a ADSL connection using PPPOECONF
[18:00] <tc111> Beererde: obviously i'm still using -16 without issue, just not any of the newer kernels
[18:00] <anabelle> and it hangs at 100% in the firste stage
[18:00] <anabelle> I left it all night
[18:00] <JuJuBee> I just noticed the eth1:avahi entry.  Not sure why it is there..
[18:00] <ikonia> JuJuBee: eth1      unassociated  ESSID:"HomeNet"
[18:00] <anabelle> and it is still in 100%
[18:01] <ikonia> JuJuBee: see the key word there - unassociated
[18:01] <anabelle> in eth0
[18:01] <Amir_> ikonia: thank you...I'm sorry for the trouble
[18:01] <ikonia> Amir_: it's no trouble
[18:01] <JuJuBee> ikonia : yes, how to fix?
[18:01] <tc111> amenado: alway have fresh backup, cron rsync every 4 hours to a truecrypt volume on SD card
[18:01] <anabelle> I found it in the forums but people just say "solved"
[18:01] <anabelle> and doesn't say how
[18:01] <anabelle> ................
[18:01] <anabelle> :'(
[18:01] <anabelle> please help
[18:01] <FloodBot3> anabelle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:01] <amenado> JuJuBee-> add to the paste the result of   sudo lshw -C network   to see if driver is okay..
[18:01] <ikonia> Amir_: lshw - doesn't show driver status
[18:02] <ikonia> Amir_: oops, not you
[18:02] <ikonia> amenado: lshw doesn't show driver status
[18:02] <anabelle> somebody had this issue?
[18:02] <Beererde> tc111: searched for bug reports?
[18:02] <pier> ciao
[18:02] <anabelle> is there an alternative to pppoeconf?
[18:02] <pier> !list
[18:02] <ikonia> anabelle: don't flood the channel, as your question simpley and concise on if possible, one line
[18:02] <Amir_> k, wish me luck
[18:02] <amenado> tc111-> well , you have to go back to the old kernel(s) and recover,  and then troubleshoot why the upgrades causes the inability to decrypt
[18:03] <JuJuBee> amenado : http://paste.ubuntu.com/25223/
[18:03] <grobda24> anabelle ... why are you using PPPOECONF ? Why not use the network setup ?
[18:03] <tc111> Beererde: good question.... not sure, when i switch to a different terminal, it says the passphrase is not correct, but that could be because it doesn't know what to do with it if a driver is missing... where would i check
[18:03] <Linuxkeitaro> I love the concept of meta-packages
[18:03] <Dephenom> hi guys, i have virtualbox setup on a Ubuntu host, with an XP guest, and trying to set up my USB modem so I can be a bit more mobile instead of tied to a desk, the modem kinda works with vbox but every time it tries to connect to the net i get the message "the modem is already in use" would this be a Ubuntu issue, or a vbox one?
[18:03] <pier> lista
[18:03] <Linuxkeitaro> is that a deb-specific thing?
[18:03] <pier> !lista
[18:03] <``Cube> burdenx: really? cool! I'm happy I could help you
[18:03] <ikonia> pier: you've done list, what do you want to know ?
[18:03] <Linuxkeitaro> I'm pretty sure Fedora doesn't have that
[18:03] <anabelle> ikonia PPPOECONF is stuck at 100% detecting pppoe concentrator in eth0!!
[18:03] <Alan_M> !fr | pier
[18:03] <Bill_MI> Hi folks.  Starting in Hardy, URLs passed from *.desktop files to Firefox are truncated at the "?".  Does anyone know where these *.desktop files are handled?
[18:03] <AlphaXero> is there an app that monitors all apps for crashes and compiles a report if there is one?
[18:03] <Linuxkeitaro> also, very awesome graphics on the desktop effects.  I'm just talkinga bout teh basic default stuff not compiz
[18:04] <Linuxkeitaro> I have 8.04 on my laptop, but teh graphics card is too wimpy for that stuff
[18:04] <tc111> Beererde: i have another notebook configured the same and it had no issues with the upgrades (diffs: amd vs. intel [both x86_64])
[18:04] <anabelle> grobda24 what is the network setup?
[18:04] <Linuxkeitaro> and so this is the first time I saw like the firefox logo bleeding out when I click on it on the panel
[18:04] <Beererde> tc111: that is strange
[18:04] <Beererde> tc111: https://bugs.launchpad.net/
[18:04] <ianliu_88> I've installed a program with wine, and it is working like a charm, but ubuntu doesnt show it on the window's bar, and I minimized it.. ¬¬ does someone know how I may restore it?
[18:04] <SnowRaptor> Helo there!
[18:04] <DIL_VBOX> vbox uses the resources of the host
[18:05] <ikonia> SnowRaptor: hello
[18:05] <Beererde> tc111: does your password contain special chars?
[18:05] <JuJuBee> amenado : any ideas?
[18:05] <tc111> Beererde: searched launchpad and didn't find anything relevant
[18:05] <SnowRaptor> My friend is having problems with his realtek 8197
[18:05] <amenado> JuJuBee-> that looks okay, now compare what you have in /lib/firmware/  and /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/wireless  to see if they are the same drivers.
[18:05] <SnowRaptor> he loads the module, DMESG says " usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187"  but no wlan0 appears
[18:05] <grobda24> anabelle ... System --> Administration --> Network
[18:05] <SeaPhor> ianliu_88,  try alt+tab?
[18:05] <ikonia> amenado: the card is not associated with the ap, thats the issue, not drivers
[18:06] <anabelle> Im using KD
[18:06] <anabelle> KDE
[18:06] <ianliu_88> SeaPhor: Ive tried... but ubuntu seems to not recognize it as a window
[18:06] <JuJuBee> amenado no such dir ... /kernel/wireless
[18:06] <amenado> ikonia i suspect the drivers is causing it not to associate..thats why i asked if he can compare..
[18:07] <tc111> Beererde: my passphrase is in proper sentence form with spaces and punctuation
[18:07] <ikonia> amenado: its worked in the past - it's not the drives, he's been on someone elses network which has changed his default setup
[18:07] <SeaPhor> ianliu_88,  try ctrl+alt+d? NOT Delete , just "d"
[18:07] <amenado> JuJuBee-> maybe it is /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu  or some kind of variations to hold your ipw220 driver
[18:07] <tc111> Beererde: no freaky-odd hieroglyphs
[18:07] <Beererde> tc111: hmm, i doubt it does not load a driver, since it seems to check if the password is correct...
[18:08] <ianliu_88> SeaPhor: hmm let me try
[18:08] <amenado> ikonia ah okay..didnt know that
[18:08] <redhat89> I have a question about the wireless manager
[18:08] <redhat89> in ubuntu
[18:08] <redhat89> my friend made hers disappear by removing it from startup
[18:08] <redhat89> how can she get it back?
[18:08] <Beererde> tc111: but i remember searching totally wrong places in similar situations and in the end it just was swapped z/x keys
[18:08] <ikonia> amenado: hence why downing the interfaces, using iwconfig to set the parameters correctly, and then bringing it up should reset it
[18:09] <ikonia> amenado: there are known bugs with encyption on/off for the intel cards and the gnome setup tool
[18:09] <munk_> amenado, its been working now...i dunno i hope it keeps it up...thanks again
[18:09] <ianliu_88> SeaPhor: no luck... the program is running, as I can see in the system monitor..
[18:09] <JuJuBee> amenado : ls /lib/firmware/ ==  2.6.20-17-generic  2.6.22-15-generic  2.6.24-19-generic
[18:09] <amenado> ikonia okay
[18:09] <ianliu_88> SeaPhor: I will try something else, thanks
[18:09] <JuJuBee> ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless == acx  at76  fsam7400.ko  iwlwifi  p80211  prism2_usb  wimax-i2400m
[18:09] <amenado> munk_-> alright, am happy.. :P
[18:09] <tc111> Beererde: if it were a missing driver, how would i recreate an initrd.img for kernel -19 while running under kernel -16?
[18:09] <Beererde> tc111: you could try and set up a new crypted volume with password "123" and check with both kernels
[18:09] <SeaPhor> ianliu_88,  did you run a cmd to start it?
[18:09] <Beererde> tc111: if it does not work with the new, file a bug report
[18:10] <Beererde> tc111: there should be an initrd in the repos
[18:10] <ikonia> Beererde: initrd is genererated at kernel instrall
[18:10] <ikonia> install
[18:10] <amenado> JuJuBee-> per ikonia, you'rs work before hand, i didnt realize that..anyhow, i suggest to look at those just for comparisons,  uname -r would tell you your current kernel you are using
[18:10] <Beererde> ikonia: then he should have one
[18:11] <SnowRaptor> What can I do if I load my wifi module, dmesg says the interface driver is registered but no wlan0 appears
[18:11] <tc111> Beererde: would it be an over-bloated initrd with everything in it so that it would have all the drivers?
[18:11] <Bill_MI> Easy drag-n-drop URL links have been broken in Hardy for months: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/214170  ALL ubuntuforms.org URLs are affected.  I'm looking for a faster workaround than copy/paste.
[18:11] <SeaPhor> ianliu_88,  let me know when you find the answer, i'd like to know also, those are what i use in games
[18:11] <tc111> Beererde: not a bad thing if it works
[18:11] <amenado> tc111-> do you have an entry in your /etc/security/pam_mount.conf   for encrypting such volume? perhaps take a look?
[18:12] <Beererde> tc111: to what stage does it boot? best thing would be to check the kernel log
[18:12] <tc111> amenado: would they be different files between -16 and -19?
[18:12] <tc111> amenado: -16 works just fine and always has
[18:13] <redhat89> can anyone help?
[18:13] <amenado> tc111->  i would think you must insert the specific line for each volume you wanted to encrypt/decrypt
[18:13] <amenado> tc111-> but take a look anyways, just for kicks..
[18:13] <ikonia> redhat89: what's up
[18:13] <joe_chat> libnspr4-0d will not install with update manager in hardy erorr it is in use
[18:13] <peot> test
[18:14] <ikonia> peot: we can see you
[18:14] <tc111> Beererde: it boots past the initial load and then when attempting to mount / it asks for the crypt_sda2 passphrase
[18:14] <redhat89> ikonia: my friend made her wireless connector thing disappear by removing it from startup...,how can she get it back?
[18:14] <ikonia> redhat89: removing it from startup ?
[18:14] <ikonia> redhat89: how did she remove it
[18:14] <redhat89> idk
[18:14] <ikonia> redhat89: ask
[18:14] <Beererde> tc111: and it's sd_a_ in both kernels? maybe use blkid...
[18:14] <JuJuBee> ikonia , amenado : my wifi was working at the conf on Wed.  I came home and fired up the laptop on Thursday and the wifi would not associate with my AP.    I see the ipw2200.ko under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
[18:14] <joe_chat> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libnspr4-0d_4.7.1+1.9-0ubuntu0.8.04.2_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libnspr4.so', which is also in package libnspr4
[18:14] <ikonia> JuJuBee: drivers are not your issue
[18:15] <JuJuBee> ikonia : so where do I go from here?
[18:15] <Beererde> tc111: sorry, i meant Sda or Hda
[18:15] <tc111> amenado: file not found
[18:15] <redhat89> ikonia: she went into sessions and removed it there
[18:15] <ikonia> JuJuBee: well the network at the conference, did that have a different encyption level from your home network
[18:15] <JuJuBee> No encrytion
[18:15] <SamusMan> I am having trouble with my wireless...I seem to have no wlan.  iwconfig does not list a wlan and sudo ifconfig wlan up results in a no such device error.  I read that wireless could also be eth1, and I don't have that either.
[18:15] <JuJuBee> So I turned it off at home for now/
[18:16] <ikonia> redhat89: re-add it in sessions, the command is nm-applet --sm-disable
[18:16] <bakarat> ok, this sux, truecrypt crashes almost immediatly on ubuntu 7.10 after i try to write :(
[18:16] <tc111> Beererde: true, one drive, sata2 250G seen as sda
[18:16] <amenado> tc111-> ahh...so where do you set the keys so PAM knows how to load and decrypt your /  partition?
[18:16] <ikonia> JuJuBee: and your home network is no encyption ?
[18:16] <JuJuBee> Now it does not.
[18:16] <JuJuBee> I usually use it
[18:16] <ikonia> JuJuBee: ok, so lets take a quick step back
[18:16] <redhat89> ikonia: just type that in terminal?
[18:16] <ikonia> JuJuBee: your %100 certain YOUR ap is now using no encyption
[18:16] <JuJuBee> Yes
[18:16] <ikonia> redhat89: no, open the sessions gui and add a session
[18:16] <ikonia> JuJuBee: ok, great
[18:17] <ikonia> JuJuBee: lets stop all networking on your laptop for a moment then, sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
[18:17] <amenado> JuJuBee-> use a nick before your responses so it would not be confusing..
[18:17] <tc111> amenado: unsure, i created the encrypted LVM on installation then created an LVM inside the encLVM with /, /home, and swap
[18:17] <JuJuBee> ikonia : THen what, cause I will lose you.
[18:17] <``Cube> hey guys, does the """3D Sound Blaster Pro """ work on linux?
[18:17] <SamusMan> ah well.  if nobody can help with my wlan issues, i'll post on the forum.
[18:17] <aca> somebody to tel me how to instal  GDM themes on ubuntu 8.04 sory for my bad englese.
[18:17] <JuJuBee> amenado : sorry
[18:17] <DIL> redhat89: rt click on menu bar add to panel see if it is there then add or applications add/remove see if deselected
[18:17] <ikonia> JuJuBee: ahh your in that laptop now,
[18:17] <rand0m> i was running gdesklets yesterday but i seem to have closed all of the desklets i was using to save resources - the gdesklet still appears in the tray and there's nothing happens when i left or right click it.. anyone know what to do ?
[18:17] <ikonia> JuJuBee: sorry, didn't realise that
[18:18] <JuJuBee> Yes
[18:18] <joe_chat> sudo apt-get remove libnspr4 ; sudo apt-get install libnspr4-0d fixed the problem thanks for the help
[18:18] <ikonia> JuJuBee: ok, so open /etc/networking/interfaces
[18:18] <bakarat> ikonia: ok, so i can't "run the risk", because it crashes immediately :(
[18:18] <CostaRicanQuake> ok supergrub disk is not working
[18:18] <CostaRicanQuake> so i have a question
[18:18] <bakarat> ikonia: any other solutions to get a drive encrypted in ubuntu?
[18:18] <tc111> amenado: i would guess that all that information is contained within the initrd.img????
[18:18] <CostaRicanQuake> i installed windos and now i cant run grub
[18:18] <ikonia> JuJuBee: /etc/network/interfaces
[18:18] <JuJuBee> ikonia : k
[18:18] <CostaRicanQuake> i tried waht the page says
[18:18] <CostaRicanQuake> didnt work
[18:18] <ikonia> bakarat: thats an option, sure
[18:18] <CostaRicanQuake> so i-m thinking can i install wine
[18:18] <CostaRicanQuake> and run the terminal from windows
[18:18] <CostaRicanQuake> and then embed grub?
[18:18] <JuJuBee> No entry for eth1
[18:18] <bakarat> ikonia: um what is? :|
[18:19] <JuJuBee> ikonia : no entry for eth1
[18:19] <greenfishx3> how do you find out your cpu temp in cli?
[18:19] <ikonia> bakarat: sorry, I missunderstood
[18:19] <ikonia> JuJuBee: thats not a bad thing
[18:19] <ikonia> JuJuBee: but I had to check
[18:19] <JuJuBee> ikonia : I removed it since that interface changes networks regularly.
[18:19] <tc111> amenado, Beererde: brb... checking some of you questions more thoroughly...
[18:19] <ikonia> JuJuBee: thats fine, just checking
[18:19] <amenado> tc111-> i am not sure, if the PAM settings gets included within the initrd upon rebuilding it
[18:19] <Beererde> tc111: ok
[18:20] <JuJuBee> ikonia : okay.  Now what?
[18:20] <ikonia> JuJuBee: so if you now do an "sudo ifconfig eth1 down" please.
[18:20] <CostaRicanQuake> help?
[18:20] <JuJuBee> ikonia : done
[18:20] <ikonia> JuJuBee: one moment please.
[18:21] <cpierce> join #css
[18:21] <cpierce> sorry forgot the /
[18:21] <amenado> JuJuBee-> not to step on ikonia, i would suggest uncheck  the roaming mode for now too in the nm-applet
[18:22] <ikonia> JuJuBee: ok, so you need to do an iwconfig eth1 essid=yourid key=off
[18:22] <kurozu> how do i install cedega ?
[18:22] <Beererde> ty
[18:22] <Beererde> try wine first
[18:22] <CostaRicanQuake> waht do i do to reinstall grub
[18:22] <ikonia> JuJuBee: so "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid $yournetwork key off"
[18:22] <Drk_Guy> kurozu: Cedega sucks, try wine instead
[18:22] <CostaRicanQuake> after having installed windos
[18:23] <CostaRicanQuake> !grub
[18:23] <kurozu> ok
[18:23] <CostaRicanQuake> that doesnt work
[18:23] <JuJuBee> ikonia : I got it, removed the "="
[18:23] <JuJuBee> done
[18:23] <ikonia> cool
[18:23] <Alan_M> Wine seems to leave reminants on my system even after a purge.....any suggestions?
[18:23] <ikonia> JuJuBee: ok, so if you now did an sudo ifconfig eth1
[18:23] <ikonia> JuJuBee: ok, so if you now did an sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[18:23] <x3> any good firewall for linux Ifirestarted borked it alrady bug on lovck)
[18:23] <Beererde> Alan_M: rm -rf ~/.wine
[18:23] <Alan_M> I mean....menu items are still around and stuff.....
[18:23] <JuJuBee> ikonia : done
[18:23] <x3> hope u all well anywho
[18:24] <Alan_M> Beererde: tried this..it doesnt help with menu items being still there.....
[18:24] <JuJuBee> ikonia : still have eth1:avahi entry.  Should I be concerned?
[18:24] <ikonia> ok, now in theory that should probe for an ap - however I know it doesn't always, so you may be better doing an /etc/init.d/networking restart (I know you'll loose connection)
[18:24] <ikonia> JuJuBee: don't worry about eth1:avahi
[18:25] <JuJuBee> ikonia : okay, done
[18:25] <ikonia> JuJuBee: leave it a minute and lets see what happens
[18:25] <j3tt> Alan_M: check ~/.config/menus
[18:25] <TacticalFrostbit> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jul  5 07:50:58 2008
[18:25] <ikonia> JuJuBee: keep an eye on it with iwconfig eth1
[18:25] <TacticalFrostbit> how do i fix that
[18:26] <CostaRicanQuake> someone link me to an emulator
[18:26] <CostaRicanQuake> so i can open ubuntu from windows
[18:26] <ikonia> CostaRicanQuake: emmulation for what ?
[18:26] <CostaRicanQuake> or at least its files
[18:26] <CostaRicanQuake> i installed windows xp
[18:26] <ikonia> CostaRicanQuake: you need any sort of virtual machine thats supported on windows
[18:26] <JuJuBee> ikonia : still unassociated
[18:26] <CostaRicanQuake> and i cant get grub to boot anyomre
[18:26] <ikonia> CostaRicanQuake: then install it into that
[18:26] <amenado> Alan_M-> try  gconf-editor  and drill down to the apps  maybe there are settings there you can remove
[18:26] <TacticalFrostbit> how do i fix this error? sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jul  5 07:50:58 2008
[18:26] <DIL> CostaRicanQuake: paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:26] <arunvkumar> hi
[18:26] <CostaRicanQuake> the what?
[18:27] <ikonia> JuJuBee: try an iwconfig getid
[18:27] <CostaRicanQuake> how do i do that? i-m on windows
[18:27] <CostaRicanQuake> i cant go back to ubuntu
[18:27] <ikonia> JuJuBee: sorry iwgetid
[18:27] <Beererde> CostaRicanQuake: livecd
[18:27] <CostaRicanQuake> i tried doing what the !grub page said it didnt work
[18:27] <TacticalFrostbit> how do i fix this error????????????????????????????????????? sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jul  5 07:50:58 2008
[18:27] <arunvkumar> anybody is thr
[18:27] <arunvkumar> i am new irc user
[18:27] <arunvkumar> heloooooooooooooo
[18:27] <JuJuBee> eth1:avahi ESSID:"HomeNet"
[18:27] <arunvkumar> hi
[18:27] <ikonia> JuJuBee: ughh, thats annoying
[18:27] <CostaRicanQuake> what about wubi?
[18:28] <amenado> CostaRicanQuake-> you can try to use  wubi to install within  windows, download wubi.exe and run it....it will auto download files it needs to install
[18:28] <Bill_MI> CostaRicanQuake, I found a windows driver for EXT3.  You can mount the Ubuntu drive(s) in Windows.
[18:28] <ikonia> JuJuBee: it should be linked to eth1
[18:28] <CostaRicanQuake> Bill_MI: how?
[18:28] <CostaRicanQuake> link me
[18:28] <Bill_MI> CostaRicanQuake, if you're interested I'll get the info.
[18:28] <CostaRicanQuake> yes please
[18:28] <Bill_MI> brb
[18:28] <JuJuBee> ikonia : how do I remove the eth1:avahi iface...
[18:28] <Alan_M> amenado: the ./config/menu's thing i believe might help :)
[18:29] <ikonia> JuJuBee: you shouldn't - that should be there
[18:29] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> im ganna ask this again... how do u lock the refresh rate of ur computer in ubuntu ?
[18:29] <DIL> CostaRicanQuake: boot with ubuntu cd and mount the linux partition to /mnt/hdX# chroot to /mnt/hdX# then look for it
[18:29] <|WolF1> when i do sudo apt-get update , and after that sudo apt-get install , i receive this E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) can any one help me how to fix my dpkg package?

[18:29] <arunvkumar> hi
[18:29] <arunvkumar> iam new user
[18:29] <arunvkumar> i am first time to a irc channel
[18:29] <ikonia> JuJuBee: one moment
[18:29] <CostaRicanQuake> or any cdrs
[18:29] <ikonia> arunvkumar: we saw you the first time
[18:29] <amenado> Alan_M-> possibly, try it and see
[18:29] <ikonia> arunvkumar: this is an ubuntu support channel, and it's used to chat about ubuntu support isues only
[18:29] <amenado> CostaRicanQuake-> you can try to use  wubi to install within  windows, download wubi.exe and run it....it will auto download files it needs to install ,--
[18:29] <Beererde> CostaRicanQuake: there is a grub installer for windows i think
[18:29] <ikonia> JuJuBee: this is an intel card as I recall ?
[18:30] <ompaul> !offtopic | arunvkumar
[18:30] <Beererde> CostaRicanQuake: or what amenado said
[18:30] <JuJuBee> ikonia : yes
[18:30] <x3>  any good firewall for linux
[18:30] <CostaRicanQuake> ok let me see...
[18:30] <ikonia> x3: iptables is great
[18:30] <CostaRicanQuake> !wubi
[18:30] <rizkhan> arunvkumar: dont ask to ask, ask a question
[18:30] <Bill_MI> CostaRicanQuake, http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm
[18:30] <arunvkumar> can anyone tell how can i convert i386 deb pkg to a  amd64 deb pkg
[18:30] <arunvkumar> ?????????
[18:30] <Alan_M> YES! j3tt that worked perfectly!
[18:30] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> does no one have any idea on how to permenantly lock the refresh rate of ur computer in ubuntu i mean there must be some way of doing it if windows can do it there is no reason y ubuntu should not ...
[18:30] <x3> iptables i s on by default and very basic
[18:30] <riddlebox> what app can I use with a webcam to display something and record it live as well?
[18:31] <rand0m> amarok keeps freezing when i try to play music.. was working fine yesterday
[18:31] <rand0m> any clues ?
[18:31] <j3tt> Alan_M: glad to help ...
[18:31] <Bill_MI> CostaRicanQuake, I ran it for awhile... you can see any Linux drive.
[18:31] <mindrape> DroP-PsyChoSiS: edit your xorg.conf manually... in /etc/X11/
[18:31] <x3> anything else with a nice front end
[18:31] <ikonia> arunvkumar: thats a reasonable level of work, what sortware is it
[18:31] <amenado> x3 your creative rules make is unique and customized to your needs, it can get complex..
[18:31] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> in english pls...
[18:31] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> im no good with ubuntu
[18:31] <CostaRicanQuake> Bill_MI: can i run the terminal from it?
[18:31] <ikonia> JuJuBee: your not going to like this, but I think you'd benifit from a reboot, it looks like your drive is hung/locked
[18:31] <spoon_man> arunvkumar, deb is just an install wrapper around the file -- the content within the package can't be changed from 64-bit to 32-bit
[18:31] <x3> mmm
[18:31] <arunvkumar> use chees
[18:31] <ikonia> JuJuBee: it can happen
[18:31] <JuJuBee> ikonia : how can you tell?
[18:31] <mindrape> pull up a terminal.  cd /etc/X11        sudo nano xorg.conf            make the changes you want and save.        You should probably create a backup of the file first incase you eff it up.     sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup
[18:32] <Bill_MI> CostaRicanQuake, No.  Linux is not running so you can only see the drives and all their data.
[18:32] <ikonia> JuJuBee: I'm making an assumption, based on the fact that your eth1:avhi interface has an interface
[18:32] <ikonia> JuJuBee: has an ip address sorry
[18:32] <x3> antivirus (I know the argument but I rather wack one on anywho
[18:32] <j3tt> !iptables
[18:32] <ikonia> JuJuBee: is that ip address valid for your network
[18:32] <CostaRicanQuake> Bill_MI: how about wubi?
[18:32] <arunvkumar> can anyone tell how can i convert i386 deb pkg to a  amd64 deb pkg
[18:32] <CostaRicanQuake> if i use wubi will i be able to run the terminal
[18:32] <spoon_man> ...
[18:32] <CostaRicanQuake> so i can get grub to run again?
[18:32] <Bill_MI> CostaRicanQuake, I never tried WUBI
[18:32] <ikonia> arunvkumar: its quite a lot of work - what software package is it
[18:32] <DIL> CostaRicanQuake: download helix or knoppix 5.1
[18:32] <tc111> amenado, Beererde: ok, zcat'd both -16 and -19 initrd.img files and they are different, running diffs on a few of the files to see what's different between them... brb...
[18:33] <JuJuBee> ikonia : the eth1:avahi is a 169.254.x.x address (default when cannot find one)  I use 192 at home and work
[18:33] <arunvkumar> nobdys answering me
[18:33] <arunvkumar> ???????
[18:33] <ikonia> JuJuBee: ok - just checking
[18:33] <arunvkumar> hellooooooooooooooo
[18:33] <ikonia> arunvkumar: I've answered you 3 times
[18:33] <spoon_man> arunvkumar, scroll up, I gave you your answer
[18:33] <Bill_MI> CostaRicanQuake, WUBI is an install in Windows.  It doesn't access another install.
[18:33] <JuJuBee> ikonia : still reboot?
[18:33] <ikonia> arunvkumar: what software package are you trying to get 64 bit
[18:33] <x3> arunkuvar what is the question
[18:33] <JuJuBee> ikonia : I have tried rebooting a couple of times.
[18:33] <ikonia> JuJuBee: I would to get a "known" platform, plus now you've used iwconfig to force the correct settings
[18:33] <|WolF1> Question:when i do sudo apt-get update , and after that sudo apt-get install , i receive this E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) can any one help me
[18:33] <CostaRicanQuake> then how do i get grub again?
[18:33] <ikonia> JuJuBee: it sounds like a cop out, but it's not, you've forced some new settings on to it
[18:33] <JuJuBee> Ok, I will reboot and come back...
[18:34] <JuJuBee> brb
[18:34] <ikonia> JuJuBee: I'll be here
[18:34] <Beererde> CostaRicanQuake: install wubi, start it, install grub
[18:34] <Beererde> CostaRicanQuake: if you have no cd
[18:34] <bakarat> is 8.04 workable yet? :)
[18:34] <Beererde> CostaRicanQuake: you can install wubi with daemon tools without cd
[18:34] <bakarat> or should i lay off on upgrading?
[18:35] <amenado> bakarat ye... workable on which platform?
[18:35] <arunvkumar> clear
[18:35] <spoon_man> bakarat, workable?
[18:35] <spoon_man> 8.04 is pretty solid
[18:35] <bakarat> amenado: spoon_man well when 8.04 first came out there were a lot of complaints (including from just bout every of my friends who upgraded)
[18:35] <x3> bakarat 8.04 is very workable and has had kernel update to address vulnerabilities
[18:35] <Bill_MI> Beererde, does WUBI access an existing install?  I thought it was its own Windows install.
[18:35] <spoon_man> bakarat, 8.04 does seem to have some issues with wifi
[18:35] <arunvkumar> ubuntu is not detecting my modem
[18:35] <amenado> bakarat do a fresh install, i would not recommend upgrade...
[18:36] <Beererde> Bill_MI: yes, but when it is running, you can install grub to the mbr
[18:36] <spoon_man> bakarat, and getting sound to work can be quirky
[18:36] <bakarat> amenado: i'd rather not...
[18:36] <arunvkumar> wht should i do/
[18:36] <arunvkumar> ubuntu is not detecting my modem
[18:36] <arunvkumar> wht should i do/
[18:36] <bakarat> spoon_man: those are indeed the problems they were complaining about
[18:36] <ikonia> arunvkumar: what make and model is it ?
[18:36] <amenado> bakarat it is your choice, you can have a separate partition to install this
[18:36] <Bill_MI> Thanks, Beererde
[18:36] <ikonia> arunvkumar: what version of ubuntu are you using
[18:36] <tim_> i am trying to upgrade to 7.10 and i get  Failed to lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[18:36] <tim_> any thoughts . . .
[18:36] <MrLinux> Where I must go to change the port ?
[18:36] <ikonia> tim_: fuser /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[18:37] <CostaRicanQuake> ok i cant seem to install wubi
[18:37] <CostaRicanQuake> and i don-t know if its got ot do with my antivirus or not
[18:37] <Beererde> lol, antivirus#
[18:37] <tim_> ikonia: what did that do?
[18:37] <arunvkumar> ubuntu is not detecting my modem
[18:37] <arunvkumar> ubuntu is not detecting my internal modem
[18:37] <amenado> CostaRicanQuake-> yes disable your anti-virus temporarily
[18:37] <ikonia> tim_: shows what's locking it
[18:37] <JuJuBee> ikonia : i'm back
[18:37] <ikonia> arunvkumar: if you want to participate in this channel, start listening to the channel
[18:37] <tim_> hmm . . . nothing ?
[18:38] <ikonia> arunvkumar: what is the make and model of your  modem and what version of ubuntu
[18:38] <ikonia> tim_: ok, so nothings using it, thats good
[18:38] <ikonia> tim_: try again
[18:38] <ikonia> JuJuBee: welcome
[18:38] <tim_> trying again
[18:38] <yesitisjustme> when adding repositories on ubuntu is necessary to also add the keys?
[18:38] <ikonia> JuJuBee: what's the status with iwconfig
[18:38] <arunvkumar> amenado: ubuntu is not detecting my internal modem
[18:38] <Drk_Guy> yesitisjustme: Not rlly, but it is adviceable
[18:38] <amenado> JuJuBee-> btw, dont try to use same router as gateway for both your wired and wireless, lest you manipulate the route tables correctly,
[18:38] <JuJuBee> unassociated and no essid channel etc...
[18:38] <ikonia> arunvkumar: last time - what make/model of modem and what ubuntu version
[18:38] <ikonia> JuJuBee: no essid this time
[18:39] <yesitisjustme> ok
[18:39] <arunvkumar> ikonia: ubuntu is not detecting my internal modem
[18:39] <ging> dr whos
[18:39] <amenado> arunomi-> i dont know..please respond to query posted to you by ikonia
[18:39] <JuJuBee> ikonia: correct
[18:39] <ikonia> JuJuBee: amenado makes an excellent point
[18:39] <ikonia> arunvkumar: I know, and I've asked you for information
[18:39] <tim_> Failed to lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock (again)
[18:39] <tim_> fuser doesn't turn up anything
[18:39] <ikonia> tim_: what command are you using please.
[18:39] <JuJuBee> ikonia : At the moment, I have no choice
[18:39] <ikonia> JuJuBee: , no I appriciate that
[18:40] <tim_> A problem occured during the update. This is usually some sort of network problem, please check your network connection and retry.
[18:40] <ikonia> JuJuBee: you may want to remove the lan cable - then try it
[18:40] <tim_> any other steps
[18:40] <ikonia> tim_: ls -la  /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[18:40] <Ging> this isnt the uk ubuntu channel
[18:40] <JuJuBee> ikonia : what is the "proper" way to configure eth1 ?
[18:40] <x3> any good antivirus for linux or no/
[18:40] <ikonia> Ging: no, that ubuntu-uk
[18:40] <Bill_MI> Easy drag-n-drop URL links have been broken in Hardy for months: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/214170  ALL ubuntuforms.org URLs are affected.  I'm looking for a faster workaround than copy/paste.
[18:40] <CostaRicanQuake> holy cow
[18:41] <tim_> -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 2008-07-05 13:42 /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[18:41] <ikonia> JuJuBee: you should be able to use iwconfig on eth1, then down/up the interface and it should assciate
[18:41] <CostaRicanQuake> wubi is over 600 mb
[18:41] <CostaRicanQuake> i-ll be back later i guess
[18:41] <ikonia> tim_: one moment please.
[18:41] <Beererde> CostaRicanQuake: sure. it's the full live cd
[18:41] <tim_> np, i am at a loss otherwise
[18:42] <ikonia> tim_: that looks spot on , no problems
[18:42] <JuJuBee> ikonia : no luck
[18:42] <ikonia> tim_: I'm not sure whats stopping the lockk
[18:42] <ikonia> JuJuBee: I suspect amenado is making a very valid point, you may want to discconnect from the router to try that
[18:42] <JuJuBee> Ok, I will brb...
[18:42] <mellery> can someone help me figure out why my mouseclicks stop working?

[18:44] <dedo> hi there
[18:44] <fumbalah> Howdy :)
[18:44] <tim_> ikonia: i'll try google and return
[18:44] <Bill_MI> Basic sanity check.  Simple drag-n-drop URLs have been broken in Hardy for months.  Why isn't the bug even addressed yet?  Is it described properly?  Many have to see it.
[18:45] <dedo> i want to intsall libdri 2.3.1 but in hardy only 2.3.0 is available and when i manually install it, i only get libdri 2.0.2
[18:45] <tim_> hmm i can't even update Unable to get exclusive lock
[18:45] <ikonia> tim_: I'm having a look myself now, I dont know what would stop the lock as that permission looks fine, and nothing is using it
[18:45] <tim_> in win32, i would look into process manager and kill all relevant processes
[18:45] <ikonia> tim_: and "fuser  /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[18:45] <dedo> i trie the metjod from http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building
[18:45] <ikonia> tim_: brings back nothing else
[18:45] <icarus> I always get "error 2 opening credential file" when I try to mount a smb share, anyone heard of this/
[18:45] <icarus> ?
[18:47] <tim_> i keep getting duplicate sources error: http://pastie.org/228210
[18:48] <SnowRaptor> anyone here has had problems with wireles rtl8197?
[18:48] <Fryguy--> !realtek | SnowRaptor
[18:48] <tim_> with my error: http://pastie.org/228211
[18:48] <Slawomir> hello
[18:48] <SnowRaptor> Fryguy--: thanks, man
[18:49] <Fryguy--> tim_: did you re-run apt-get update like it suggests
[18:49] <Slawomir> I'm polush but i speak english well ;]
[18:49] <geek_inn2> quite surprised With APPLE'S 300+ features in mac os x
[18:49] <Vinchenzo28> does ubuntu support Nvidia Raid support?
[18:49] <tim_> no
[18:49] <tim_> i'll do that now
[18:49] <rubydiamond> Hi
[18:49] <rubydiamond> I am connected to VPN network
[18:49] <tim_> can't run apt-get update
[18:49] <rubydiamond> now I want to know what are the other computers in my network what are their IP addresses
[18:49] <tim_> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[18:49] <rubydiamond> how do I know that
[18:50] <tim_> fuser /var/lib/apt/lists/lock still turn up nothing
[18:50] <Fryguy--> tim_: a lot of linux applications, if/when they break, will give you plenty of clues as to what is wrong.  It's usually worthwhile to read the error messages yourself, as you can often resolve the issue without seeking more knowledgable people
[18:50] <M_A_K> ikonia : I set up a second Ap and connected my wired to it via eth0.
[18:50] <Fryguy--> !fixapt | tim_
[18:50] <tim_> Fryguy--: o.k. my bad -- i'll read more carefully
[18:50] <amenado> rubydiamond-> ask the network administrator ?
[18:51] <tim_> i did it
[18:51] <amenado> M_A_K-> what is the problem with your network if any?
[18:51] <tim_> no feedback
[18:51] <Mimi> Why am I in ubuntu-unregged? I'm registred...
[18:51] <Fryguy--> rubydiamond: ask network adminitsrator, get access to dhcp server and see if it maintains a list, or just portscan the subnet
[18:51] <tim_> still same error
[18:51] <Fryguy--> Mimi: you aren't
[18:51] <M_A_K> amenado : M_A_K == JuJuBee
[18:51] <Mimi> Fryguy--,  yes i am, registered and identified.
[18:51] <M_A_K> for some reason it changed my nick to my secondary
[18:51] <Fryguy--> Mimi: and you are in #ubuntu
[18:51] <tim_> ubottu: didn't help at all
[18:52] <RenatoSilva> I have ubuntu 32 and 64. My PC is a Core2 Duo. Which do I install?
[18:52] <amenado> M_A_K-> ahh, get back to JuJuBee much easier to type
[18:52] <Mimi> Fryguy--, Odd. It says Im on ubuntu-unregged. Oh well! :P
[18:52] <M_A_K> I agree  how in kopete?
[18:52] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: either one.  If you have a reason to use 64-bit, go for it, otherwise use 32-bit
[18:52] <M_A_K> JuJuBee seems to be in use
[18:52] <M_A_K> brb  I will quit and log back in.
[18:52] <Fryguy--> Mimi: the modeline for the channel indicates that unregged nicks go to #ubuntu-unregged, it's possible you are getting confused
[18:52] <amenado> M_A_K-> try JujuBee2
[18:53] <tim_> ikonia: i needed to su fuser -- now i get: /var/lib/apt/lists/lock:  6212
[18:53] <AlphaXero> renato, how much ram do you have?
[18:53] <tim_> i imagine that is pid 6212
[18:53] <Mimi> Does anybody know how to stop the wireless tool from asking Keyring password, other than compiling the wireless applet?
[18:53] <Fryguy--> tim_: ps aux | grep 6212
[18:54] <geek_inn2> http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/300.html#system
[18:54] <geek_inn2> still not finished reading
[18:54] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: why?
[18:54] <tgillespie> hi, trying to install doom 3, when i run the installer i get "./setup.sh: 290: /home/tom/.setup18489: not found". i md5'd it and everything to be sure it was a valid download
[18:54] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: why what?
[18:54] <tim_> root      6212  0.0  0.2   3868  1744 ?        SN   11:52   0:00 apt-get -qq update
[18:54] <tim_> kill %6212 ??
[18:54] <Fryguy--> tim_: not %
[18:54] <tgillespie> anyone got any ideas?
[18:54] <M_A_K> wont let me change to JuJuBee
[18:54] <amenado> tim_-> sudo kill -15 k212
[18:54] <Fryguy--> tim_: sudo kill 6212
[18:54] <amenado> M_A_K-> try JujuBee2  as a nick
[18:55] <tim_> update working
[18:55] <AlphaXero> RenatoSilva, if you have more than 2gb ram in your system or plan to upgrade beyond that then use 64bit all other reasons 32bit
[18:55] <jujub> How about jujub
[18:55] <Fryguy--> AlphaXero: 2gb? no
[18:55] <tim_> Fryguy--: thanks -- over the hump
[18:55] <amenado> jujub-> good enuff, easier to type
[18:55] <jujub> K
[18:55] <node357> jujub, you're logged in here twice
[18:55] <jujub> I see that.
[18:55] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: "If you have a reason to use 64-bit, go for it, otherwise use 32-bit". why?
[18:56] <jujub> Think it is because I pulled the plug before loggin out
[18:56] <amenado> RenatoSilva-> it is your choice,
[18:56] <RenatoSilva> AlphaXero: I thought 64-bit versions were faster? Are them?
[18:56] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: because 32-bit is somewhat more stable than 64-bit, especially with windows wrapped driver support, and 64-bit doesn't give you anything beneficial for the most part. the only thing that affects standard users is the ability to use >= 4gb ram
[18:56] <Killer--Tux> laterz guy
[18:56] <AlphaXero> not expecially
[18:57] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: for certain types of applications it is.  in other situations 64-bit is slower
[18:57] <AlphaXero> at this stage there are more advantages to 32 bit
[18:57] <fenDy58> Noob here. My firefox, ubuntu, shows video but no audio. Any help, please?
[18:57] <fenDy58>  I think problem is in playing flash files (YouTube). Other audio works fine
[18:57] <Fryguy--> Fryguy--: and in a lot of situations there is no measuable difference
[18:57] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: thanks. So, we must wait more time till it becomes better, stable, etc. right?
[18:57] <minhaaj> my ubuntu doesnt save session by default. i lost my torrent download because of it. i wonder if their is a workout ?
[18:57] <rubydiamond> Fryguy--: is there any command which tells me information about other computers in network
[18:57] <Fryguy--> fenDy58: create a file in /etc/firefox-3/ called firefoxrc and add FIREFOX_DSP=aoss to it, then install alsa-oss (sudo apt-get install alsa-oss)
[18:57] <Fryguy--> rubydiamond: you can use nmap, check out it's man page for usage details
[18:58] <fenDy58> Thanks, I will try that.
[18:58] <RenatoSilva> I've heard that there aren't too much apps specially build for 64-bit, and I can install a compatibility package to run 32-apps. Is this right?
[18:58] <jujub> ikonia : what should I try now?
[18:59] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: there is some compatibility stuff in place for 32-bit, but pretty much everything you run in 64-bit is 64-bit
[18:59] <slavi1> RenatoSilva: more or less
[18:59] <rubydiamond> Fryguy--: what is most common nmap command
[18:59] <Fryguy--> rubydiamond: no idea, there's a wonderful man page documentating all of it's use.  Go read it (or hit up google for usage details)
[18:59] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: there's a package..
[18:59] <tim_> Fryguy--: my apt-get update is almost working
[19:00] <RenatoSilva> i don't remeber the name
[19:00] <tim_> except it seems to be hanging at: 99% [8 Packages bzip2 0]
[19:00] <tim_> any thoughts?
[19:00] <amenado> tim_-> give it time, be patient
[19:00] <Fryguy--> tim_: it's probably trying to download a file, give it some time
[19:00] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: what's right exacltly then?
[19:01] <Sonistar> hey everyone
[19:01] <slavi1> RenatoSilva: not all 32bit libraries have amd64 packages
[19:01] <jujub> ikonia : I have to bring my sone to a friends house.  I will be back in about an hour.  I will check in then...
[19:01] <jujub> Thanks for the help thus far.
[19:01] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: AMD?
[19:01] <simps> hi all. could someone help me understand how to use Screen -X bash command?
[19:01] <slavi1> although it is easy to get the ia32 libs and put them where needed
[19:01] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: I'm on a Core2 Duo!
[19:01] <tim_> ok will wait
[19:01] <Fryguy--> !ask | simps
[19:01] <slavi1> RenatoSilva: core2duo is amd64 :)
[19:02] <simps> i did put it on one line. :\
[19:02] <slavi1> amd64 is the instruction set :)
[19:02] <Fryguy--> simps: ask a more specific question
[19:02] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: there's a compatibillity package, do you remeber the name?
[19:02] <amenado> simps-> what do you want to accomplish or goal with that application?
[19:02] <slavi1> ia32-libs
[19:02] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: a compatibility package for what
[19:02] <simps> Fryguy--, it seems quite specific
[19:02] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: intel 64 = amd 64?
[19:02]  * Sonistar has been hanging out on the EFnet ubuntu channel for a while, and now shall be hanging out here, helping folk 
[19:03] <Sonistar> so, hi
[19:03] <slavi1> intel64 aka ia64 is not amd64, ia64 is itanium
[19:03] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: ia32-libs!
[19:03] <Fryguy--> simps: i'm not about to sit here and type out a 5 page essay on how to use X11 forwarding tunneled through ssh. what is the problem you are having
[19:03] <a13x> how to install system on a usb thumb drive?
[19:03] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: I don't remeber which processor is itanium
[19:03] <Madassasin> Hello everyone
[19:03] <simps> amenado, when i use 'screen -h', it gives me a help menu under which -X says "-X Execute <cmd> as a screen command in the specified session." But when i use 'screen -X blah command', it doesn't seem to do anything
[19:04] <slavi1> RenatoSilva: the one you don't have :)
[19:04] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: not funny
[19:04] <simps> Fryguy--, you may want to read my question again :)
[19:04] <Fryguy--> simps: i just read the new question
[19:04] <amenado> simps once more, what do you like to accomplish? just to issue a command to be run on a remote host?
[19:04] <ShackJack> a13x: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB
[19:05] <masood> hi.. anyone know why some packages in ubuntu repository have a weird version scheme such as 4:3.5.9 ???
[19:05] <jujub> ikonia & amenado : one last thought, when I tried to boot from the 8.04 live CD, I could not get this working either.
[19:05] <Sonistar> simps: isnt there a man?
[19:05] <simps> amenado, yes, essentially
[19:05] <slavi1> RenatoSilva: ia32 == x86, amd64 == x86-64, ia64 is itanium ...
[19:05] <slavi1> core2duo is amd64, not ia64
[19:05] <RenatoSilva> does intel just use AMD technology on their 64-bit CPUs?
[19:05] <slavi1> RenatoSilva: yes
[19:05] <amenado> simps okay then make sure the command you are issuing is a valid command at the remote host, an example would be  ls -la
[19:05] <PittCaleb> #ubuntu-us-nj
[19:05] <Rubbermans> hello. i have a problem; my numpad isnt working anymore
[19:05] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: I can't understand this....
[19:05] <Rubbermans> i can turn it on/off, but it just dont work.
[19:05] <tim_> still waiting with 99% [8 Packages bzip2 0] . .. just worried since i get no feedback
[19:05] <simps> Sonistar, it does not seem to help
[19:06] <Fryguy--> simps: -X is used for sending screen commands, not for running applications remotely.  There is no way to use screen to "inject" a command into another screen
[19:06] <Rubbermans> The five response like a tab. What can be the problem?
[19:06] <simps> amenado, would the command response show up in the screen?
[19:06] <slavi1> RenatoSilva: Intel made EMT64 (ia64), AMD simply extended x86 to 64bits, Intel licensed the tech from AMD
[19:06] <Madassasin> I'm running Hardy, and I'm having big problems connecting to the Internet via PPPoE. On Windows everything works fine, that nkicks out being ISP or wrong auth info. Basically, when I try to connect, either via pon dsl-provider, or via the graphic tool, it just won't connect. Sometimes it will, but will disconnect after 2-3 minutes with intense activity. I've set it up either via both pppoeconf and the graphic tool, same results. Any ideas?
[19:06] <Fryguy--> simps: -X is used for things like splitting the viewport, or resizing a viewport
[19:06] <KrimZon> is there an ftp server for linux that will let me customize the folders to share, rather than sharing every single user's home directory by default?
[19:06] <amenado> jujub-> thats what I suspected earlier, your driver either went dead or your wifi nic card became faulty..
[19:06] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: the obvious thing would be Intel developing its own technology
[19:06] <slavi1> they did (EMT64), but it didn't catch on
[19:06] <amenado> simps it should, unless you piped the output somewhere else
[19:06] <jujub> I will be back soon
[19:07] <simps> amenado, so if the command were like 'echo 1', then it should echo it in the screen?
[19:07] <Fryguy--> slavi1: EMT64 is instruction set identical to AMD64, and is what all modern intel desktop processors use
[19:07] <tc111> amenado, Beererde: first diff found??? here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/25237/
[19:07] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: my bad english. didn't catch on? what do you mean? it failed on the market?
[19:07] <slavi1> Fryguy--: they changed emt64 ...
[19:07] <amenado> simps it should, unless you piped the output somewhere else
[19:07] <slavi1> RenatoSilva: nobody wanted to compile their code to emt64
[19:07] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: that was what I always have heard
[19:07] <simps> amenado, i did not output it somewhere else ;s
[19:08] <elliott> does nayone here have experience running ePSXe through wine?
[19:08] <Rubbermans> My numpad isn't working. I can turn it on/off, but it dont work. For example, the 'five' response like a tab. What can be the problem?
[19:08] <slavi1> emt64 proper is not compatible with amd64 ... but modern Intel CPUs have both
[19:08] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: I'm confused!
[19:08] <amenado> simps okay..so it should display it
[19:08] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: so download 32-bit iso and install
[19:08] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: the decision isn't that hard...
[19:08] <slavi1> no need to be confused, just isntall amd64 ...
[19:09] <amenado> tc111-> yes, if your fstab entry uses uuid, and detects different ones, it may not mount it
[19:09] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: you've said emt64 = ia64 = itanium = not me , but now it = all modern inte cpus????
[19:09] <arafatm> I'm trying to compile screen from source so that I can apply the vertical split patch. WHen I do a ./configure I get the following error: "configure: error: !!! no tgetent - no screen". Any idea what I may be missing? I did a google search with no results.
[19:09] <slavi1> hmm, I prolly made a mistake :P
[19:09] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: I'm not confused about this
[19:09] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: but about that
[19:09] <tc111> amenado, Beererde: second diff found??? here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/25238/
[19:09] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: :P
[19:09] <MrLinux> How I create a sudo user ?
[19:09] <ShackJack> Rubbermans: Check out this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=514554
[19:10] <RenatoSilva> So...
[19:10] <RenatoSilva> Intel cpus support both EMT64 and AMD64 (= x86-64)??????
[19:10] <Fryguy--> arafatm: here's the first google result, seems helpful: http://osdir.com/ml/gnu.screen/2003-07/msg00011.html
[19:10] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: yes
[19:10] <Stavros2> hello
[19:10] <arafatm> MrLinux: Create the user and add them using visudo
[19:10] <marcin> lenovoR61i  it's allright
[19:10] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: And AMD cpus?
[19:11] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: do they support emt64?
[19:11] <arafatm> Fryguy--: Thank you. Not sure how I missed that.
[19:11] <Fryguy--> MrLinux: add them do the adm group.  the users and groups control panel manages this process for you if you are running gnome
[19:11] <Fryguy--> genii: no
[19:11] <genii> Fryguy--:  ?
[19:11] <kantor> hi, how can I modify PolicyKit in such a way that only allows you to authenticate as the root user when you want to set up the clock for instance ?
[19:11] <RenatoSilva> does AMD support EMT64?
[19:12] <FloodBot3> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[19:12] <amenado> tc111-> right..so it detects difference, and with PAM it may not load your filesystem correctly
[19:12] <hccmb> ?
[19:12] <rizkhan> any good typing tutor for ubuntu ?
[19:12] <Rubbermans> ShackJack, it works. thank you soo much!
[19:12] <spoon_man> RenatoSilva, I don't think anyone uses EMT64
[19:12] <spoon_man> I could be wrong
[19:12] <tim_> Fryguy--: i am going to give it the old ctl^c . . .
[19:12] <tc111> amenado, Beererde: also, fstab is on / which isn't yet mounted.... ok, pam may be looking for /dev/mapp.... not UUID?
[19:12] <ShackJack> Rubbermans: You're welcome...
[19:13] <Stavros> is there some way for me to see the log of the recent upgrade to hardy?
[19:13] <shesek> I can't get LCDd to work (no errors, it just doesn't display what it should). when I echo xx > /dev/lcd0 I do see it. how can I find the problem?
[19:13] <RenatoSilva> spoon_man: is windows 64-bit written for amd64?
[19:13] <Fryguy--> Stavros: apt maintains some logs somewhere in /var/log, they should give you the information you need
[19:13] <slavi1> RenatoSilva: yes
[19:13] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: yes
[19:13] <amenado> tc111-> yes,  i dont know the finer details of pam_mount.so
[19:13] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: huuuuuuuuummmm
[19:13] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: hummmmmmm
[19:13] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: thanks
[19:13] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: thanks
[19:13] <slavi1> anytime
[19:13] <RenatoSilva> thanks everybody
[19:13] <shesek> anybody?
[19:14] <BlueLaguna> Hmm, you know how Ubuntu greys out a non-responsive program?  It seems to have made a mistake with XChat.  How do I ungrey it?
[19:14] <PittCaleb> Looking for some help with courier/imap if anyones got the skills...
[19:14] <RenatoSilva> so....why does emt64 have failed?
[19:14] <Fryguy--> PittCaleb: join the courier-imap channel
[19:14] <PittCaleb> thx
[19:14] <jack-desktop> BlueLaguna: are you using compiz fusion?
[19:14] <homeofpoe> I just did a server setup of Ubuntu 8.04. I'm having errors with locale and "Cannot set LC_* to default locale: No such file or directory." I've followed a few guides, including usage of "locale-gen" and "dpkg-reconfigure locales" with no success.
[19:14] <Fryguy--> BlueLaguna: it doesn't make a mistake
[19:14] <RenatoSilva> it was released too after amd64?
[19:15] <rizkhan> any good typing tutor for ubuntu?
[19:15] <Stavros> Fryguy--: hmm, it's not in apt's log...
[19:15] <kantor> hi, how can I modify PolicyKit in such a way that only allows you to authenticate as the root user when you want to set up the clock for instance ?
[19:15] <slavi1> In the mid 90s, Intel realised that x86 was crap ...
[19:15] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: yes. and this isn't the correct place to be talking about the history of instruction set design.  You've been given all of the ubuntu-related answers you need, join #ubuntu-offtopic if you would like to continue the discussion with someone
[19:15] <slavi1> so they started a joint project with HP to build the itanium processor (ia64)
[19:15] <rubydiam_> hi ppl
[19:15] <PittCaleb> fryguy - what is that channel name please?
[19:15] <rubydiam_> what are the basic and most commonly used namp commands
[19:15] <Fryguy--> PittCaleb: i dunno, #courier or #courier-imap rpobably
[19:16] <rubydiam_> nmap
[19:16] <slavi1> 10 years later, Intel said "screw this" and started working on the core architecture, HP didn't care about Itanium much since they have their own processor called Alpha
[19:16] <slavi1> hence ia64 is dead
[19:16] <Fryguy--> rubydiam_: like i've said to you 2x already, see the manpage for information, or google, or see if #nmap exists on this channel and ask them
[19:16] <SegFaultAX> nmap 192.168.1.100-255
[19:16] <amenado> rubydiam_-> make google your friend, lots of tutorial in how to use nmap
[19:17] <rubydiam_> thanks ppl
[19:17] <erisco> there is a bug in wireless passwords on ubuntu that was said to be fixed...
[19:18] <erisco> but I am still experiencing it
[19:18] <RenatoSilva> slavi1: thanks
[19:18] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: :P
[19:18] <Fryguy--> erisco: so find the bug in launchpad and add some information to it so it gets addressed
[19:18] <rbd> hi guys... I can't find the nth lib with iptables in hardy: /lib/iptables/libipt_nth.so  ....it seems debian ships this upstream...any idea if this file is present with ubuntu (it's needed for more complex firewall rules)
[19:18] <oclad> wihich laptop best for ubuntu wireless
[19:18] <Fryguy--> erisco: please
[19:18] <erisco> system -> admin -> network, unlock, wireless properties, password: the problem is that after I enter the password it becomes borked and after restart it is invalid
[19:18] <Fryguy--> oclad: dells with intel cards work fine
[19:19] <Nachetee> anyboy know a spanish server of ubuntu?
[19:19] <Fryguy--> !best | oclad
[19:19] <dalla> how do i log in as root
[19:19] <Fryguy--> !spanish | Nachetee
[19:19] <Fryguy--> dalla: use sudo
[19:19] <dalla> huh
[19:19] <dalla> trying to install aim
[19:19] <erisco> Fryguy--, where is the wireless password information saved to?
[19:19] <Fryguy--> dalla: pidgin should be already installed, if not, sudo apt-get install pidgin
[19:19] <tc111> amenado: i'll check the some more files along those lines from the initrd's
[19:19] <Fryguy--> erisco: no idea
[19:19] <hccmb> did any one notice trouble with samba on 8.04?
[19:19] <spoon_man> oclad, I would recommend avoiding laptops whose wifi cards have broadcom chipsets
[19:20] <hccmb> !samba
[19:20] <Nachetee> thanks
[19:20] <fumbalah> hccmb: In what regard?
[19:20] <PittCaleb> checked #courier and 2 local ubuntu forums, all lacking any active users.  anyone out there with with ability to help courier/imap config issues on new install?
[19:20] <dalla> i get an error E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[19:20] <oclad> myth how to
[19:21] <Fryguy--> PittCaleb: nobody here is going to be as qualified as the people you've already consulted
[19:21] <Flannel> !anyone | PittCaleb
[19:21] <hccmb> i try to install an share file ( right klick ) on gnome but i get this error
[19:21] <Fryguy--> dalla: so then run the command it tells you to run (dpkg --configure -a)
[19:21] <dalla> i did it says dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[19:21] <Fryguy--> !myth | oclad
[19:22] <erisco> Fryguy--, the issue is that the password is hashed in the config
[19:22] <Fryguy--> oclad: http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php
[19:22] <hccmb> fumbalah , i get this error of broken packages, but synaptic and apt-get report nothing is wrogn
[19:22] <Fryguy--> oclad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[19:22] <PittCaleb> courier/imap - responds chdir Maildir: No such file or directory in system logs.  fresh install, mail stored in /var/mail/username, single file.  pwd works, mail not seen.  ideas?
[19:22] <erisco> Fryguy--, so after I enter it, it gets hashed and also hashed in the config. the problem is that next time I restart it rehashes the hashed password and now has the wrong one
[19:22] <Fryguy--> erisco: i don't know anything about the issue. I only asked you to pursue the launchpad bug entry for it to make sure it gets reopened and addressed
[19:22] <KrimZon> does anyone know an ftp server for linux that will let me customize the folders to share, rather than sharing every single user's home directory by default?
[19:22] <erisco> Fryguy--, *shrug* someone else will figure it out. I'll make a mess
[19:22] <Mineralwasser> Hello? =)
[19:22] <Flannel> PittCaleb: Mail by default is stored in ~/Maildir
[19:22] <Fryguy--> KrimZon: proftpd is a fine ftp server with a configuration file
[19:22] <fumbalah> hccmb: Could it be a package conflict? Did you get any errors when you installed it
[19:23] <dalla> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[19:23] <Fryguy--> dalla: so use sudo to run it
[19:23] <dalla> thats what i get
[19:23] <PittCaleb> krimzon - proftpd can permit you to restrict ftp logins to home (~) directory and not see everything else
[19:23] <hccmb> fumbalah, thats the whole point it refuses to install
[19:23] <KrimZon> Fryguy--: i can't figure out how to stop it from automatically sharing my whole home dir though
[19:23] <bies> cze
[19:23] <KrimZon> i don't want it to be available over ftp
[19:23] <PittCaleb> flannel - it was on prev courier/pop3 server install, now it does not seem to be
[19:23] <Scunizi> I've got a video in multiple vob files.  How do I burn that to DVD?
[19:23] <Mineralwasser> hello i am from germany i can a little english :D that is every funny
[19:23] <tim_> o.k. so now trying to upgrade to 7.10 -- it has been 10 minutes with 'fetching file 29 of 44' no feedback . . . should i kill it
[19:23] <Mineralwasser> i hear music
[19:23] <Fryguy--> KrimZon: you'll need to check out the documentation for the configuration file, or try #proftpd
[19:24] <spoon_man> !de | Mineralwasser
[19:24] <hccmb> devede for dvd burn
[19:24] <Flannel> PittCaleb: You could check the configs
[19:24] <hccmb> or k3b
[19:24] <Mineralwasser> hä?
[19:24] <Mineralwasser> EGAL
[19:24] <fumbalah> hccmb: Do you have the dependencies needed?
[19:24] <Flannel> PittCaleb: since, that error seems to indicate that it is trying to go to ~/Maildir, and I haven't heard anything about Ubuntu moving away from Maildir by default
[19:25] <PittCaleb> krimzon - edit /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf -
[19:25] <Mineralwasser> spoon_man how i come in the channels?
[19:25] <dalla> kk i did that now what
[19:25] <PittCaleb> krimzon - modify the line defaultroot to be tilde
[19:25] <spoon_man> Mineralwasser, /j #ubuntu-de
[19:25] <Mineralwasser> okay thank you
[19:25] <PittCaleb> Flannel, know which config file, will poke around some more
[19:25] <Billll> hey
[19:25] <Mineralwasser> hey
[19:26] <KrimZon> Fryguy--, PittCaleb ok, reading some documentation and installing it
[19:26] <SunmanXII>  Hello, i am having issues copying stuff from my internal ubuntu hd onto an ntfs external. i have ntfs-3g installed... whenever i copy a file onto the ntfs hd it creates a bunch of random "locked" files with scrambled names but when i unmount and then mount the harddrive again they are gone
[19:26] <tim_> Mineralwasser: willst du wissen wie du zu eine andere channel gehts
[19:26] <tim_> ?
[19:26] <Flannel> PittCaleb: should be /etc/courier I believe.  I use dovecot, it works like charm
[19:26] <Fryguy--> SunmanXII: just temporary data, don't worry about it
[19:26] <tim_> ja, /join #daschannel
[19:26] <shesek> hello, I'm trying to get iMon remote controller to work. when running irw and clicking a button I'm getting stuff like "0000000028a395b7 00 Vol+ iMON-PAD", which seems fine.. but it doesn't do anything. did I skip a step or something ?
[19:26] <Mineralwasser> ok
[19:26] <dalla> ok how do i get aim now
[19:27] <SunmanXII> Fryguy: but im still having the issue of the files being gone after i remount the external
[19:27] <shesek> nobody? :\
[19:27] <shesek> come on.. I need some help
[19:27] <amenado> !patience | shesek
[19:27] <Fryguy--> SunmanXII: oh i misunderstood, i thought the lockfiles were gone and you were wondering why they were there in the first place
[19:27] <Mineralwasser> hm
[19:28] <honeybee> was gibt es alles für channels?!
[19:28] <shesek> amenado, I have been patience for a few days, it just that by now no one has even noticed me (except you)
[19:28] <dalla> ok how do i get aim now
[19:28] <tim_> o.k. so on my install, still "Fetching file 29 of 44" time to restart (30 minutes, no feedback)
[19:28] <tim_> this is frustrating, this should just work
[19:28] <spoon_man> !de | honeybee
[19:28] <fumbalah>  dalla you should be able to get aim from aim.com
[19:29] <Anza> Hi, My amsn keeps sending this address to my contacts when I am offline: http://kalicos68.imagedesperado.info  Which seems to be a virus, how can I make it stop?
[19:29] <jasonmchristos> hi
[19:29] <amenado> shesek-> add more patience please, hopefully someone understood your issues
[19:29] <fumbalah> or you can used a project like pidgin
[19:29] <Fryguy--> dalla: install pidgin
[19:29] <fumbalah> !pidgin
[19:29] <jasonmchristos> how do I do a sparse install with ubuntu alternate cd? please pm me answers
[19:29] <slavi1> Anza: when amsn is turned off?
[19:29] <tim_> should i just click cancel on the Distribution Upgrade function
[19:29] <Anza> slavil, yes
[19:29] <honeybee> oh yes thank you my friend is here ... she is from germany
[19:29] <amenado> jasonmchristos-> what do you mean by sparce install?
[19:29] <slavi1> Anza: it's not a virus, someone knows your password
[19:29] <marcd> Hi! Can anyone tell me why I only have one screen resolution available?
[19:30] <fumbalah> marcd: Did you install the appropriate drivers for your video card?
[19:30] <spoon_man> !res | marcd
[19:30] <Anza> slavil, no, is some thing msn sends automatically
[19:30] <Fryguy--> marcd: ubuntu probably didn't recognize your screen and graphics card correctly, try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf to add more resolution options manually
[19:30] <amenado> marcd then modify your xorg.conf to add a resolution compatible with your video card and monitor
[19:30] <Anza> I knew how to fix it on msn, but not on amsn
[19:30] <Ajax_> I have a problem with pidgin, it wont startup
[19:30] <Fryguy--> Ajax_: what is error message
[19:30] <marcd> Yes, I had several before but now it only has one
[19:31] <tim_> o.k. anyone else have problems upgrading -- install hangs inf on file 29 . . .
[19:31] <honeybee> i am from romania but i can spania ,too ...(a little) my german is not good very very stupid or?! xD my english is not good,too
[19:31] <Ajax_> FRYGUY: I don't get one, it just opens and quits within half a second
[19:31] <dalla> how do i install that
[19:31] <Fryguy--> Ajax_: what happens if you run it from a terminal
[19:31] <marcd> 630 x 480 only
[19:31] <honeybee> hello
[19:31] <Fryguy--> dalla: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[19:32] <Fryguy--> marcd: what driver are you using
[19:32] <marcd> intel
[19:32] <Ajax_> FRYGUY: How would I accomplish that?
[19:32] <amenado> tim_-> honestly, i suggest to people to do a fresh install of newer ubuntu rather than upgrade, seems so many have issues with upgrading
[19:32] <Fryguy--> Ajax_: alt-f2 | gnome-terminal | pidgin
[19:32] <dalla> its already installed
[19:33] <Fryguy--> marcd: so then go into xorg.conf and add some more resolutions, like i said ubuntu is probably incorrectly identifying your hardware
[19:33] <Fryguy--> dalla: so then it should  be in the applications menu, run it
[19:33] <Ajax_> FRYGUY: Same deal, opens and quits
[19:33] <tc111> amenado: ok, not a file diff, but a missing file... libpopt.so.0 is missing from the 19/lib folder, any idea what its purpose might be?
[19:33] <Fryguy--> Ajax_: with no output in the terminal/
[19:33] <Ajax_> yes
[19:33] <tim_> amenado: yeah -- i might need to : http://pastie.org/228237
[19:33] <marcd> fryguy: where is xorg.conf
[19:33] <Fryguy--> Ajax_: what happens if you sudo pidgin
[19:33] <Fryguy--> marcd: like i said before, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:33] <amenado> whose running Miro? is it really that sensitive to download speed? its crashing on me, says my network is far too slow..
[19:34] <slavi1> tc111: libopt is a library that programs can use to allow user to enter command line options/arguments
[19:34] <dalla> i dont see aim
[19:34] <Fryguy--> dalla: so then why do you want to run it
[19:34] <slavi1> dalla: go into pidgin's create accounts, create a new account, one of account type options will be AIM or Oscar
[19:34] <rhalff> I want to install ubuntu on a intel dual core and use xen, should I install the 64bit or 32bit version ?
[19:34] <Ajax_> FRYGUY: That started it up
[19:35] <Fryguy--> rhalff: either or
[19:35] <slavi1> rhalff: 64bit
[19:35] <Guiri> Who created the dokuwiki package? I have a few questions about it,such as why ACL isn't available
[19:35] <amenado> tc111-> if you go back to your older kernel, is that file i was referring to pam_mount.so exist? or not at all?
[19:35] <tc111> amenado, slavi1: like a crypto passphrase so that /, /home & swap can be loaded?
[19:35] <rhalff> ok thanks, could be xen had bugs or something with 64
[19:35] <Fryguy--> Ajax_: remove your ~/.purple directory and start pidgin again without sudo (you will lose all of your accounts and logs if you do this)
[19:35] <slavi1> no ...
[19:35] <rhalff> ok great
[19:35] <tc111> amenado: in the initrd.img???
[19:35] <Guiri> also the md5 in the dokuwiki package is wrong
[19:35] <amenado> tc111-> i dont know about the libpopt.so
[19:35] <slavi1> rhalff: use kvm?
[19:35] <dalla> weres pidgin's
[19:36] <rhalff> slavi1, why kvm
[19:36] <amenado> tc111-> if you can boot back to your old kernel, see if that pam file exist
[19:36] <rhalff> slavi1, would you use it for server hosting instead of xen ?
[19:36] <slavi1> rhalff: if xen has problems, use kvm :)
[19:36] <Ajax_> FRYGUY: where is that dir?
[19:36] <slavi1> rhalff: I use VMWare Server, but that's besides the point
[19:36] <Fryguy--> Ajax_: the dir is ~/.purple
[19:37] <Fryguy--> Ajax_: ~ = home directory
[19:37] <marcd> fryguy: all the resolutions are there but none of them show up on the x configuration program
[19:37] <rhalff> oh ok, well the servers are using xen so I would like to use xen locally also
[19:37] <jasonmchristos> how do I do a sparse install with ubuntu alternate cd? please pm me answers
[19:37] <Guiri> !dokuwiki
[19:37] <slavi1> rhalff: fair enough
[19:37] <Fryguy--> marcd: resolutions, or modelines
[19:37] <amenado> jasonmchristos-> what do you mean by sparce install?
[19:37] <Ajax_> FRYGUY: Thansk
[19:37] <Fryguy--> jasonmchristos: you need the server install cd to do that
[19:37] <meximus> hi all
[19:38] <tc111> amenado: i can _only_ run the old kernel (-16), anything after -16 will not boot as it does not accept my crypto passphrase for the encrypted LVM that contains an LVM for /
[19:38] <dalla> weres pidgin's
[19:38] <jasonmchristos> ok I have server install
[19:38] <Fryguy--> dalla: pidgin is located in your application menu, probably under internet
[19:38] <jasonmchristos> how do I do it?
[19:38] <marcd> fryguy: what?
[19:38] <jasonmchristos> please pm me
[19:38] <Fryguy--> marcd: you said all of the resolutions are there. resolutions or modelines
[19:38] <slavi1>  !pm
[19:38] <amenado> tc111-> okay, so while you are in old kernel -16  does that file pam_mount.so exist?
[19:39] <tc111> amenado: looking....
[19:39] <Fryguy--> jasonmchristos: server install is a base install, no 'doing' necessary
[19:39] <marcd> fryguy: ohhhhh... modelines
[19:39] <amenado> jasonmchristos-> share the knowledge, do not be asking for people to private you..everyone else can benefit from exchange of info
[19:39] <Fryguy--> marcd: need to set the resolutions, scroll down the file some more to the screen section, not the monitor section
[19:40] <mado> hi guys and gals ... can you help me please? ... i can't install kubuntu on a laptop ... whenever i choose "install kubuntu" the screen turns black ...
[19:40] <mado> i also tried the alternate-cd and knoppix ... nothing worked
[19:40] <amenado> mado curious, did you wait long enuff? or expected things to pop right out?
[19:40] <jasonmchristos> Fryguy--: so what option do I choose?
[19:40] <x3> DOES THAT LAPTOP HAVE ANY MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF HDD
[19:41] <mado> i waited long enough ... yes
[19:41] <Fryguy--> jasonmchristos: "install"
[19:41] <x3> sorry dammed caps
[19:41] <marcd> fryguy: i am there!
[19:41] <Fryguy--> x3: it's a laptop
[19:41] <jasonmchristos> Fryguy--: and I don't want gnome I wasn't X
[19:41] <Fryguy--> jasonmchristos: server install neither of those
[19:41] <amenado> mado how did you install kubuntu?  what command you typed?
[19:41] <x3> indeed and some laptops like mine have more than one hdd
[19:41] <x3> so I thought to ask eh
[19:41] <mado> i didn't type any command
[19:41] <jasonmchristos> I heard of an option called sparse
[19:41] <mado> i put the cd in ...
[19:42] <mado> and tried to start it ...
[19:42] <amenado> !who | mado
[19:42] <mado> sorry amenado
[19:43] <x3> just in case unplug any usb drives and whatever memory cars (sd) or usb keys
[19:43] <amenado> mado  you can try aptitude way of installing..offhand i dont remember correct options
[19:43] <tim_> a
[19:43] <marcd> fryguy: I was there!
[19:43] <mado> amenado, ... i put in the cd ... and chose "install kubuntu" ... the computer's noise increases and suddenly stopps and the screen is black the whole time
[19:43] <amenado> mado  perhaps it is  sudo tasksel install  kubuntu-desktop
[19:43] <afallenhope> if there's a program in the /etc/init.d/ file and that program no longer exist/installed.. can I remove it from the /etc/init.d/ ?
[19:44] <Fryguy--> mado: try safe graphics mode?
[19:44] <mado> amenado, ... i can't use aptitude because i can't even start *buntu !
[19:44] <mado> Fryguy--, ... yes i tried that too
[19:44] <Fryguy--> mado: try noacpi
[19:44] <mado> tried that too :)
[19:44] <amenado> mado you tried a new computer yet?  :P
[19:44] <amenado> hehe
[19:45] <mado> amenado, ... this computer is about 1 year old
[19:45] <mado> processor: amd x2
[19:45] <amenado> mado i was just kidding..
[19:45] <mado> 2 gb ram
[19:45] <Fryguy--> mado: what does the age of the computer matter?
[19:45] <mado> 120 gb hard dosk
[19:45] <speedhunt3r> is yahoo mail pop3 or IMAP?
[19:45] <mado> geforce go 6100
[19:45] <mado> graphics card
[19:45] <Fryguy--> speedhunt3r: supports both if i remember right
[19:45] <mado> sound: real tek
[19:45] <Fryguy--> !enter | mado
[19:45] <ankhi> Hi...just wondering if someone knows about getting Gnash to work with IceCat? I've installed gnash and the mozilla gnash plugin from synaptic and put a symlink in icecat's plugins folder to the plugin but it still isn't detected in IceCat... (sorry for big message but it lists what I've tried already)
[19:46] <mado> yeah ... sorry Fryguy--
[19:46] <amenado> mado  does liveCd work for you?
[19:46] <mado> nope amenado
[19:46] <afallenhope> if there's a program in the /etc/init.d/ file and that program no longer exist/installed.. can I remove it from the /etc/init.d/ ?
[19:46] <mado> i can't even start the live-cd
[19:46] <Fryguy--> afallenhope: probably not
[19:46] <mado> the screen always turns black ... and the computer stopps working
[19:46] <amenado> mado i dont know then, you try to google with ubuntu + geforce 6100 and see if any issues with that  combo
[19:47] <KrimZon> argh, this is weird - it half messes with my real user accounts and half doesn't
[19:47] <ganjaman> turns black?
[19:47] <afallenhope> Fryguy--, but it's not installed. it's just in the init.d folder.
[19:47] <ganjaman> so your screen is caucasian?
[19:47] <KrimZon> it changed my password but luckily not home directory
[19:47] <Fryguy--> afallenhope: ok
[19:47] <caroline> Hi I have a problem with totem-video-indexer taking all my CPU up when I use a transmission how do I turn indexing off
[19:48] <mado> ganjaman, ... i mean ... i can't see a thing after i choose "install kubuntu"
[19:48] <ganjaman> maybe your screen has a bad day or something
[19:48] <mado> nope ganjaman
[19:48] <tc111> amenado: pam_mount.so is not found
[19:49] <slavi1> ganjaman: try the alternate CD, I think your system is having an issue with the splash screen
[19:49] <arunomi> how do i close tcp ports in linux
[19:49] <amenado> tc111 okay...now am curious how did you create the encrypted file system?
[19:50] <Fryguy--> arunomi: edit iptables
[19:50] <magnetron> arunomi, close tcpports? you use something like "firestarter" to cover the port with a firewall
[19:50] <magnetron> !firestarter > arunomi
[19:50] <amenado> tc111-> while in -16,  try  sudo lsmod|grep aes  assuming you are using aes to encrypt
[19:51] <amenado> tc111-> or perhaps   cat /proc/cryto  then compare that when you get to your new kernel
[19:52] <mado> tc111, the alternate-cd did not work for me :)
[19:53] <geek_inn2> firefox 3 avoiding me always
[19:53] <geek_inn2> how to stop it from going offline everytime?
[19:54] <frapell> guys, i've a really old computer, that i wanted to install ubuntu on... i tried first the 8.04 version, but was not good... so i went back a few years, and installed 6.06 on it... thing is, that this machine is very old and it has no LAN card... so i plugged in the hdd in my computer, and i installed ubuntu and all updates and packages from internet using a virtual machine. Then, when i plugged the hdd back to the old computer, ubuntu started great, but 
[19:54] <frapell> i did some searches on google
[19:54] <frapell> but couldn't find nothing on how to solve this
[19:55] <frapell> i tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a on it
[19:55] <frapell> it took like 4 hours
[19:55] <frapell> when it finished, i rebooted, and everything is still the same
[19:55] <slavi1> frapell: you haven't stated your problem ...
[19:55] <frapell> slavi1: the USB is not working :(
[19:56] <slavi1> frapell: ahh, that is weird, are you use the hardware is good?
[19:56] <frapell> when i boot using a live cd, the usb is working fine
[19:56] <DeFirence> hi all, when i run the ati driver install it says "X Server: unable to detect" anyone know why?
[19:56] <Fryguy--> DeFirence: are you running X
[19:57] <slavi1> frapell: don't know what to say ...
[19:57] <DeFirence> yup
[19:57] <frapell> slavi1: do you think that it has something to do with the fact that i installed the system using a virtual machine instead of installing it in the actual computer ?
[19:57] <tc111> amenado: correct, aes was used and is present (in -16), can't test -19 because.... well, old ground already covered
[19:57] <DeFirence> Fryguy--, any ideas?
[19:58] <davetarmac> is there a way that I can check to see whether a perl module is installed or not?
[19:58] <kitche> davetarmac: by looking at cpan most likely
[19:58] <Fryguy--> davetarmac: probably /usr/lib/perl, or use cpan
[19:58] <davetarmac> cheers
[19:58] <tc111> amenado: its actually aes_x86_64 but there is an alias in 'aliases' for aes to aes_x86_64
[19:58] <frapell> so... does anybody knows what should i do to have my usb working again ?
[19:59] <DeFirence> guess none of the 1355 people here know :/
[20:00] <StevenX> does compiz work on kde4?
[20:01] <Fryguy--> StevenX: it should work fine
[20:01] <Fryguy--> StevenX: kde  has it's own compositing window manager though, you should just use that
[20:02] <drixomanbeta> i need some help dual booting ubuntu 8 with xp...
[20:02] <minhaaj> my sbackup isn't working. i can't get it to restore the backup file once it makes the back up. anyone using sbackup ?
[20:02] <OB1FoShoB> anyone know how to fix broken packages?  doesn't seem in synaptic package manager :-(
[20:02] <StevenX> Fryguy--, I want all the nice stuff that compiz-fusion can do. I am having trouble getting it to work. How do I 'start' it?
[20:02] <minhaaj> OB you know the name of borken package ? sudo apt-get remove package
[20:02] <minhaaj> and reinstall
[20:02] <minhaaj> drixo use wubi installer
[20:02] <Fryguy--> StevenX: compiz --replace
[20:02] <minhaaj> !wubi
[20:03] <amenado> tc111-> i dont really know what to tell you, encrypting system files seems not worth the efforts..i'd only encrypt the /home or data files..
[20:03] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: it doesn't really say, but it won't let me install any of the other parts (freevo)
[20:03] <StevenX> Fryguy--, says xgl was not present. what package should i install for it?
[20:04] <drixomanbeta> i have a fresh 320 GB drive and i tried several time dual boot but i keep on getting xp unmountable...
[20:04] <katswaio> I'm trying to build a deb of cw - a color wrapper for common unix commands. However there already is a package called cw which is a command-line frontend to unixcw. Can two packages share the same name somehow?
[20:04] <lanuser> Hello - can I use my newly configured br0 for my KVM machines instead of vnet0 ?
[20:04] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: i assume it's 'python-mmpython' as it marks it for removal
[20:04] <minhaaj> well when you install main package, it should uninstall all depedencies
[20:04] <Fryguy--> StevenX: run glxinfo | grep -i direct in a terminal
[20:04] <minhaaj> try sudo apt-get remove python-mmphython
[20:05] <fulhack> hey guys. I have a question. Just for fun-.. My laptop has a LED on the "mute" key for the audio. The key itself works great, but the LED does not. How would I go about lighting it?
[20:05] <tc111> amenado: if i decide to start over that was exactly my plan, just encrypt /home and swap, security is a necessity for me and i don't store sensitive data on either /boot or /
[20:05] <linuksnub> hey guys
[20:05] <katswaio> anyone ? :)
[20:05] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: it basically craps out telling me it won't install the other packages
[20:05] <linuksnub> I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the newer nVidia drivers?
[20:06] <StevenX> Fryguy--, it says direct rendering yes
[20:06] <tc111> amenado: it just really bugs me that my other notebook worked fine and this one isn't following the rules... ;)
[20:06] <minhaaj> what is the exact error ?
[20:06] <StevenX> i install xgl will restart
[20:06] <lupo632a> ciao
[20:06] <lupo632a> !list
[20:06] <amenado> tc111 good luck my friend
[20:06] <lanuser> linuksnub I do, I install the binary from nVidia myself
[20:07] <tc111> amenado: thank you for your thoughts and suggestions... i'll keep looking and if i find the problem, i'll let you all know what happened
[20:07] <drixomanbeta> i got a blank 320GB disk and i want to dual boot ubuntu with xp...
[20:08] <drixomanbeta> any guideline....
[20:08] <linuksnub> lanuser: i just installed the beta drivers for the new 9 series cards, and it went off without a hitch... however when i reboot, the driver seems to be missing or something like that... i'm at my wits end on this.
[20:08] <amenado> tc111 okay, perhaps you can paste your finding in ubuntu wikis so your experience with encryption would shield some light on others wanting todo the same..
[20:08] <gonzzor1> I'm trying to raise the volume in GXine, but the command ao_volume.v += 5; doesn't raise it, it just sets it to 5, any clues?
[20:09] <minhaaj> !backup
[20:09] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: The following packages have unmet dependencies: freevo: Depends: python-freevo (= 1.7.6.1-1) but it is not going to be installed
[20:09] <OB1FoShoB> python-freevo: Depends: python-kaa-imlib2 (>= 0.2.2) but it is not going to be installed
[20:09] <OB1FoShoB> Depends: python-kaa-metadata (>= 0.7.1) but it is not going to be installed
[20:09] <OB1FoShoB> E: Broken packages
[20:09] <drixomanbeta> i need some guidelines on dual booting a blank 320GB disk using ubuntu and xp...
[20:09] <tc111> amenado: will do... recommend a specific part of the wiki or just focus anywhere on encrypted LVMs?
[20:10] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: install windows, then install ubuntu, ubuntu takes care of the dual boot automatically
[20:10] <minhaaj> great, go to synaptic and fix broken packages
[20:10] <minhaaj> and tell me the error
[20:10] <drixomanbeta> i tried that but windows is unmountable afterwards....
[20:10] <minhaaj> Edit > fix borken packages
[20:11] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: then you did the ubunut install incorrectly, pay attention to the options when you are installing grub
[20:11] <linuksnub> drixomanbeta: just install XP first... if GRUB doesn't install its self as the MBR then windows will take care of it.
[20:11] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: when i do that it just acts like nothing happens
[20:11] <minhaaj> werid
[20:11] <minhaaj> weird
[20:11] <minhaaj> did you google the problem ?
[20:11] <OB1FoShoB> of course
[20:11] <drixomanbeta> will the windows boot loader detect the ubuntu system/
[20:11] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: no
[20:12] <StevenX> Fryguy--, is there a configuration tool for compiz-fusion on kde? I can't find it. Like on GNOME there is a configuration tool.
[20:12] <nando> hello... where can i get automatix?
[20:12] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: i even posted on freevo's forum over a wk ago, no reply
[20:12] <Fryguy--> StevenX: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[20:12] <Fryguy--> nando: don't use automatix, it is very deprecated
[20:12] <drixomanbeta> i am confused...
[20:12] <Fryguy--> !automatix | nando
[20:12] <nando> sooo what should i use?
[20:12] <rubydiam_> Anddos: is hacker
[20:12] <ankhi> Fryguy--, are you even human? You're firing out answers by the second :P
[20:12] <drixomanbeta> i have xp installed on a 80gb drive i created during its setup...
[20:13] <jujub> amenado : I have returned.
[20:13] <rubydiam_> he sent me a link as PM
[20:13] <Fryguy--> ankhi: i don't really know anything
[20:13] <minhaaj> thats strange
[20:13] <minhaaj> i had this problem with java jre
[20:13] <StevenX> Fryguy--, I have, but I cannot find it.
[20:13] <minhaaj> i removed the package manually and reinstalled it and it worked
[20:13] <drixomanbeta> what do I do then?
[20:13] <rubydiam_> ("41 Anddos: http://sturly.com/ mygirlfriend . jpg") was sent to me by Anddos
[20:13] <ankhi> Fryguy--, ha! Do you happen to not know anything about IceCat/Gnash too? :)
[20:13] <jujub> I was giving some thought to teh drivers for my wifi. If they were going bad, then when I booted from Live cd, would that not work fine?
[20:13] <minhaaj> how about installing each package individually ?
[20:13] <Fryguy--> StevenX: /usr/bin/compizconfig-settings-manager probably.  use dpkg -L to find out what files the package installed
[20:13] <rubydiam_> please kick him out
[20:14] <Fryguy--> ankhi: no
[20:14] <StevenX> Fryguy--, when i try to turn "sudo compiz-config-settings-manager" it says command not found.
[20:14] <minhaaj> sudo apt-get install  python-kaa-metadata
[20:14] <Fryguy--> StevenX: no first dash probably
[20:14] <rubydiam_> Anddos: yt?
[20:14] <drixomanbeta> i got tons of room for more partirtioning for installing ubuntu..
[20:14] <walla1> can anyone tell me when i "GStreamer resource error: OpenWrite" in my terminal when i try and play an mp3 in banshee, i have gstreamer good,bad,ugly
[20:14] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: install windows, then install ubuntu, and pay attention to what it tells you when it gets to the end part for installing grub
[20:15] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: i don't know what to do, i really don't want to reload
[20:15] <StevenX> Fryguy--, I tried it w/o the first days, i.e., compizconfig-settings-manager, still cannot be found. It is very bad that compiz is so easy to start on GNOME but hard on KDE.
[20:15] <minhaaj> did you try what i told you ?
[20:15] <minhaaj> sudo apt-get install  python-kaa-metadata
[20:15] <Fryguy--> StevenX: it's for gnome, not kde
[20:15] <linuksnub> after installing the nvidia beta drivers for the new 9 series cards, it works fine the first time that i start the GDM, however when i reboot it reverts back to low-graphics mode... any ideas on this?
[20:15] <jujub> ikonia : mind continuting to assist me with wifi?
[20:15] <Fryguy--> StevenX: like i said, use dpkg -L to see what files it installed
[20:15] <JoshuaRL> who is an admin in here?
[20:15] <Fryguy--> linuksnub: you installing beta drivers that aren't supported = you are on your own
[20:15] <StevenX> Fryguy--, compiz-fusion is for GNOME? Maybe I should switch back to it then. I like the things compiz can do.
[20:15] <OB1FoShoB>   python-freevo: Depends: python-kaa-imlib2 (>= 0.2.2) but it is not going to be installed
[20:15] <OB1FoShoB>                  Depends: python-kaa-metadata (>= 0.7.1) but it is not going to be installed
[20:15] <OB1FoShoB> E: Broken packages
[20:16] <Fryguy--> JoshuaRL: #ubuntu-ops
[20:16] <Amaranth> This IRC client sucks for channel management but that should do for now
[20:16] <minhaaj> paste it in google and search
[20:16] <drixomanbeta> so what do I do when its asking me to install grub?
[20:16] <OB1FoShoB> i have
[20:16] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: install it to /dev/sda (or whatever letter you ahve)
[20:17] <Kunin> Need a little help undoing something.. I broke my sound
[20:17] <Fryguy--> !ask | Kunin
[20:17] <lanuser> linuksnub you sure your booting to the same kernel you installed the driver for?
[20:18] <Kunin> I followed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#head-e0a73989f4da231d3f1b623f795ffc86e0d6a192  to try and fix the mic... not only did it break the mic but broke all sound
[20:18] <nando> how do i install a RPM package?
[20:18] <Kunin> how do I undo whatever the sudo m-a update... stuff did?
[20:18] <minhaaj> well it worked for me OB i manually uninstalled and reinstalled
[20:18] <Fryguy--> nando: if you insist on installing an rpm, use alien to convert it to a .deb first, but what you are doing is almost certainly wrong.  what specifically are you trying to do
[20:19] <JoshuaRL> PriceChild: hey dude
[20:19] <drixomanbeta> i already tried to dual-boot several time and nothing seems to work out,....
[20:19] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: how many hard drives do you have
[20:19] <drixomanbeta> ubuntu is just messing up my windows....
[20:19] <drixomanbeta> one 320GB...
[20:19] <dr_Willis> a second hard drive makes life so much easier
[20:19] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: so when you boot, you get a menu to boot ubuntu or windows right?
[20:19] <levander> What's the command to get the status of your wifi card?  It's similar to ifconfig...
[20:19] <minhaaj> hey drwillis
[20:19] <minhaaj> :)
[20:19] <dr_Willis> of course ive rarely had issues dual booting with 1 hd.
[20:19] <Fryguy--> dr_Willis: i'd argue it's harder
[20:19] <drixomanbeta> totally blank as i wiped it several time already in my dual booting attempt....
[20:20] <dr_Willis> Fryguy--,  id argue that you are.. well.. :) i wont be mean.... :)
[20:20] <drixomanbeta> yeah....
[20:20] <enigmata> What is wrong here? http://pastebin.ca/1063166
[20:20] <drixomanbeta> that was before i wiped it..
[20:20] <dr_Willis> Fryguy--,  with the new pc's i got i can hit F8 and pick  what hd to boot. makes it even easier. No grub on the windows hd at all.
[20:20] <drixomanbeta> now my disk is clean...
[20:20] <Fryguy--> dr_Willis: 2 hard drives = 2 installs of grub and swapping bios settings to boot from drive to drive, or a grub that has a cross drive dependency
[20:20] <drixomanbeta> i know to i got to install xp first...
[20:21] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: can you answer my question/
[20:21] <drixomanbeta> assuming i done that...what nexrt...
[20:21] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: when you boot, you get the menu, then what
[20:21] <dr_Willis> Fryguy--,  totally wrong..  I install grub to one hard drive.  and it depends on the bios.
[20:21] <Fryguy--> dr_Willis: and the other hard drive
[20:21] <dr_Willis> Fryguy--,  but these are only on newer machines. :)
[20:21] <drixomanbeta> i tried to go i xp and it tell me unmountable erroe...
[20:21] <Kunin> never mind... I figured it out, thanks anyway... that was scary
[20:21] <icarus> is NFS native to linux as much as SMB is native to Win XP?
[20:21] <Fryguy--> icarus: yes
[20:22] <Reivec> if I install and activate dmraid on a live CD, but get no devices in /dev/mapper, what can I do there? I have done this before on other systems and it seems to work, but on this one has little effect
[20:22] <drixomanbeta> but now i want to start over from beginning so i'm wiping the disk.....
[20:22] <newt^^> Can i run games such as wow thru wine? or do i have to get cedega?
[20:22] <icarus> anyone know of a better linux-to-linux protocol besides NFS? or is NFS easy&competent?
[20:22] <Kunin> new question... I've got things basically how I want them... how can I make a recovery USB drive(it's an eee) incase I screw things up again?
[20:22] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=509160
[20:22] <dr_Willis> icarus,  nfs is fairly easy to get going and has been in use for years.
[20:23] <kitche> newt^^: yes wow runs on wine
[20:23] <enigmata> What is wrong here? http://pastebin.ca/1063166
[20:23] <Reivec> newt^^, I believe you can. I have seen several howtos on how to run wow in linux using wine, cedega, or crossover
[20:23] <Fryguy--> icarus: nfs is by far the best lan solution for *nix file transfers
[20:23] <dr_Willis> icarus,  for just doing a few transfers, ssh/scp/sshfs is also handy. but a bit slower.
[20:23] <mariachiac> When installing Ubuntu, after choosing english, pressing install ubuntu, ubuntu logo shows, then screen goes black. What shal I do?
[20:24] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: use safe graphics mode option
[20:24] <icarus> so I can have a nfs daemon and a samba daemon manage the same share (so samba for the win machines and nfs for the nix machines)
[20:24] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: or the alternate cd
[20:24] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: or try noacpi flag
[20:24] <mariachiac> Ok, I'll try that now.
[20:24] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: or use the server install cd and install ubuntu-desktop from apt after getting the base system up and running
[20:24] <minhaaj> corrupt boot cd mariachiac
[20:24] <Fryguy--> icarus: yes
[20:24] <drixomanbeta> assuming i installed xp....the xp setup only detect about 120GB, i don't know why....
[20:24] <dr_Willis> mariachiac,  often the Language dialog pops up so fast.. you dont notice the menu befor it.  hit 'escape' to check out the other options  also.
[20:24] <rsavela> I'm having trouble installing 8.04 on an Asus A8N-Premium - the pata hard disk is not seen by ubuntu.  Passing "insmod=amd74xx" on boot doesn't help either.  Any ideas?  (currently works with Suse 10.3 w/amd74xx on the initrd)
[20:25] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: need to have at least service pack 1, and that is the cause  of your problem btw
[20:25] <icarus> Fryguy--: awesome! because I am having a bad bad time getting ubuntu to correctly mount a smb share
[20:25] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: and it's probably 137gb
[20:25] <icarus> NFS for the win I guess!
[20:25] <drixomanbeta> smth like that...
[20:25] <drixomanbeta> is missing sp1 the reason?
[20:25] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: yes
[20:26] <michele> ciao a tutti
[20:26] <michele> !list
[20:26] <drixomanbeta> so if i install sp1 first i wouln't get the unmountable BSOD after i install ubuntu right?
[20:26] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: you shouldn't
[20:26] <available> asassss
[20:27] <enigmata> Need help setting up network with Samba.
[20:27] <Fryguy--> !samba | enigmata
[20:27] <enigmata> Need help setting up network with Samba. I can't login
[20:27] <mariachiac> How do I get to the s creen to use safe graphics installation?
[20:27] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: press f4
[20:27] <franck> d
[20:27] <enigmata> Fryguy: tried it. Still can't login.
[20:28] <Fryguy--> enigmata: then you don't have your share set up correctly.  make sure you are logging into the correct workgroup or domain
[20:28] <enigmata> Fryguy: it's a Ubuntu/Vista network
[20:28] <drixomanbeta> what'sp1 got to do w/ this unmountable eooro?
[20:28] <drixomanbeta> error?
[20:28] <Fryguy--> enigmata: and turn off ntlm v2 in vista
[20:28] <enos> while trying to install VMware i got the following question:
[20:28] <enos> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[20:28] <enos> kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build/include]
[20:28] <enigmata> Fryguy: did that through the registry.
[20:29] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: windows xp prior to service pack 1 couldn't detect drives larger than 137gb properly, and so after you install ubuntu and change information on the drive, windows gets confused
[20:29] <idorock89> hey people I just installed avant window navigator. it works ok.
[20:29] <enos> anyone know how I can confirm that the directory listed is correct?
[20:29] <N[]vA> Greetings
[20:29] <Fryguy--> enigmata: use group policy editor to do it
[20:29] <idorock89> but I don't understand what is the use of dock.
[20:29] <[fields]> i just plugged in a USB pen tablet by Bamboo.  It automatically started working, did not install anything.  How can I configure/calibrate my tablet?
[20:29] <idorock89> how is a dock better than the default bar
[20:29] <idorock89> ?
[20:29] <idorock89> PLEASE HELP
[20:29] <[fields]> bamboo = wacom
[20:29] <Fryguy--> idorock89: some people think it looks better. it's a matter of personal preference
[20:30] <Hilikus> where does the system get the list of things to load that you seen at he beginning the XXX ...... [OK] things?
[20:30] <enigmata> Fryguy: I have Vista home premium. There is no policy editor.
[20:30] <N[]vA> any one had any luck getting a Texas Instruments PCI1620 PC Card Controller (rev 01) card reader working on 8.04?
[20:30] <Fryguy--> Hilikus: in /etc/rc.x
[20:30] <idorock89> well I have seen the dock of mac and it feels more functional
[20:30] <Hilikus> thanks Fryguy--
[20:30] <idorock89> is awn as functional as that

[20:31] <enos> where the heck does ubuntu install the C headers?
[20:31] <enos> matching the running kernel
[20:31] <Fryguy--> enigmata: did you install the kernel headers package
[20:31] <kitche> enos: most likely under /usr/src
[20:32] <Lynet> enos: /usr/src/linux-headers-xxxxx, if you installed the kernel headers package.
[20:32] <tannji> Can anyone help me configure Pulse Audio in 8.04?
[20:32] <N[]vA> any one had any luck getting a Texas Instruments PCI1620 PC Card Controller (rev 01) card reader working on 8.04?
[20:32] <Fryguy--> !pulse | tannji
[20:33] <tannji> Thanks, Fry... been there already
[20:33] <morbyt1> tannji: flash sound not working?
[20:33] <Reivec> anyone had any issues with dmraid and nforce 650i chipset?
[20:33] <Fryguy--> tannji: so then ask a more specific question
[20:33] <enigmata> Fryguy: kernel headers package?
[20:33] <Fryguy--> enigmata: yes
[20:33] <enigmata> Fryguy: BTW, here is the registry change made: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-security/100683-lan-manager-security-setting-vista-home-premium.html
[20:33] <tannji> Morb, No Audio at all...  followed the read-me... get working meters while playing DVD, but no output to phones or speakers
[20:34] <idorock89> which is the best program for doing some java programming?
[20:34] <enigmata> Fryguy: Where do I find the kernel headers package?
[20:34] <Heinstein> #blender-pt
[20:34] <Fryguy--> idorock89: i like using vim, also check out emacs, or eclipse
[20:34] <crimsun> tannji: can you hear anything from `paplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav'?
[20:34] <Fryguy--> !ide | idorock89
[20:34] <morbyt1> tannji: same prob here. got sound after uninstalling everything pulseaudio =D

[20:34] <Fryguy--> ! best | idorock89
[20:35] <tannji> crim:  I am not familiar with that command... I am new to command line
[20:35]  * mariachiac Is rocking to "" ;)
[20:35] <crimsun> tannji: right, so just execute it, and tell me the result
[20:35] <idorock89> as
[20:35] <idorock89> ok thanks people
[20:35] <idorock89> you have all really helped me a lot
[20:35] <enigmata> Fryguy: Can't find much for "'kernel headers package' Ubuntu" on google.
[20:36] <Fryguy--> enigmata: first google result for me: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-kernel-headers
[20:36] <tannji> Crim:  no result,  let me open my meter
[20:36] <crimsun> enigmata: linux-headers-$(uname -r)  is the package you need
[20:37] <crimsun> tannji: does the command appear to hang, or does it complete after 10 seconds?
[20:37] <tannji> crim:  "bash: command substitution: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
[20:37] <tannji> Failed to open file '/usr/share/sounds/*up.wav?"
[20:37] <tannji> crim, hung
[20:37] <jh5386> can anyone out there  help me with mounting hdd?
[20:38] <tannji> I entered it twice, causing the syntax error, I believe
[20:38] <crimsun> tannji: you need to copy and paste the precise command, but omit the ` and the '
[20:38] <tannji> crim: kk
[20:38] <Fryguy--> jh5386: mount /dev/devicenamehere /mnt/locationhere
[20:38] <Fryguy--> jh5386: 'man mount' for more details
[20:38] <enigmata> How do I retreive my password in /usr/bin/passwd
[20:38] <enigmata> I accidently changed it.
[20:39] <Fryguy--> enigmata: /usr/bin/passwd is an executable, your password is stored in /etc/shadow
[20:39] <Fryguy--> enigmata: use the passwd command to change it
[20:39] <enigmata> Fryguy: tried that... 3 tries.
[20:39] <enos> Why does EVERYTHING always works on Ubuntu! I love it!
[20:39] <tannji> Crim:  It plays the sound, according to my meter, but I can not hear it
[20:39] <Fryguy--> enigmata: and?
[20:39] <keshavkhera> enos, i love it too :D
[20:40] <dr_Willis> enigmata,  its not in /usr/bin/password thats the binary file to change the password. passwords are saved in /etc/shadow . and its not very easy to 'recover' a lost password. You can change the password without knowing the old one, using various methods
[20:40] <Hilikus> Lynet how do i remove something so that it dosent start? should i just delete the file from /etc/rc6.d?
[20:40] <geek_inn2> enos thankgod when everything works i had troubles most of the time.
[20:40] <geek_inn2> keshav...indian?
[20:40] <krim> Is there a way to install for example the latest version of Wine via aptitude?
[20:40] <dr_Willis> krim,  theres a unoffical repo that has the latest wine.
[20:40]  * enos remembers the old redhat 5.2 days = everything almost never worked
[20:40] <dr_Willis> check the !wine factoid
[20:41] <Fryguy--> krim: ubuntu upgrades software for you automatically, if you want to check manually, sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:41] <dr_Willis> !wine | krim
[20:41] <enigmata> Fryguy and DrWillis: http://pastebin.ca/1063184
[20:41] <jh5386> fryguy: failed to mount because ntfs is marked to be in use
[20:41] <Fryguy--> krim: if you are looking for a version outside of ubuntu repositories, check out getdeb.net, keep in mind this will probably cause undesirable behavior
[20:41] <Fryguy--> jh5386: is it a removable hard drive?
[20:41] <jh5386> eide
[20:41] <Lynet> Hilikus: Remove the Sxxservicename from rc2.d
[20:41] <WattoDaToydarian> Hey does anyone know how to configure ubuntu 8.04 to automatically mount a cd/dvd on insert to a specific dir?
[20:42] <Fryguy--> jh5386: type df, is it already mounted somewhere
[20:42] <tannji> crimsun:  the sound file p[layed, spiking  my audio meters, but no sound over phones or speakers
[20:42] <morbyt1> how to talk to my smartcard which is connected in a pscsd compatible usb-terminal?
[20:42] <Fryguy--> WattoDaToydarian: it gets mounted in /media automatically
[20:42] <dr_Willis> enigmata,  You will need to boot to rescue mode/recovery mode and set a new password for the user with 'passwd username'
[20:42] <krim> dr_Willis, Fryguy--: ah not recommended. thanks
[20:42] <Hilikus> Lynet so just rm the file?
[20:42] <Lynet> Hilikus: Or you can use System - Administration - Services if you prefer to do it in a gui.
[20:42] <crimsun> tannji: pastebin the output from `amixer -c0', please.
[20:42] <homeofpoe> Will the libapache2-mod-ifier package for gutsy work under my Hardy installation?
[20:42] <dr_Willis> krim,  if you want the latest.. well thats the risks.. (not very big risk) but its all up to you.
[20:42] <Lynet> Hilikus: Yeah. It is just a link to the real script in init.d.
[20:42] <jh5386> fryguy: it was in a windows pc and i want to put it on ubuntu and keep the data
[20:42] <moped> @find ubuntubooks
[20:43] <Vinchenzo28> whats the best boot manager?

[20:43] <RenatoSilva>  "/home/renato/martian/kmodule/martian.c:659: erro: ‘SA_INTERRUPT’ undeclared (first use in this function)"
[20:43] <Vinchenzo28> Fryguy--: how can i config it
[20:43] <RenatoSilva> what is this error?
[20:43] <MidClassGuy28> i have linux-restricted-modules installed almost every other week there is a update to it i want to remove it. is this safe to remove it?
[20:43] <Lynet> Vinchenzo28: Depends a bit on what your exact requirements are. For most uses, grub is considered the best one.
[20:43] <enigmata> Dr_willis: I got into e/tc/shadow under su. I see my username followed by a bunch of random characters???
[20:43] <tannji> :crim, I copied it, how do I use pastebin?
[20:43] <Fryguy--> Vinchenzo28: plenty of resources on the first page of this google result: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=ubuntu+grub&btnG=Search

[20:44] <WattoDaToydarian> Fryguy--, Does gnome mount it? I am running mythbuntu using the frontend profile and it doesn't use gnome
[20:44] <Fryguy--> WattoDaToydarian: this is #ubuntu, not #mythbuntu, sorry
[20:44] <lukehasnoname> Is there any sort of official changelog for the 8.04.1 release?
[20:44] <dr_Willis> enigmata,  in theory you could 'delete' the password, and the user would be able to login without entering a password.. but if you have rights to edit that file.. you shoudl also have rights to run 'sudo passwd username' and change the password  correctly.
[20:44] <tannji> crim:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/25255/
[20:45] <Fryguy--> enigmata: if you are su, just type "passwd <username>" to set a new passwd for that user
[20:45] <WattoDaToydarian> Fryguy-- oops I'm sorry about that...
[20:45] <crimsun> tannji: (please use my full nickname; I'm in a lot of buffers, so your statements get lost easily otherwise)
[20:45] <dr_Willis> !tab | tannji
[20:46] <jh5386> fryguy: what about this: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sbd1/media/drv2_vol1 -o force , will that keep the data?
[20:46] <Fryguy--> jh5386: probably not, i asked you a while ago to type df and see if it's already mounted
[20:46] <Hilikus> Lynet not all of them are in the gui. rc2 is the bootup mode right?
[20:46] <tannji> crims
[20:46] <enigmata> Fryguy: That did it.
[20:46] <tannji> hmm
[20:46] <crimsun> tannji: your paste is cut off at the top.  Can you redirect the output to a text file, then pastebin its contents?
[20:47] <RenatoSilva> I'm trying to compile a modem driver source code on Hardy. It gives me an error. What's the ebst place to search for help?
[20:47] <rsavela> Any ideas as to how I can make and IDE disk visible to Ubuntu on an nForce 4 chipset?  (amd74xx?)  cdrom does work.
[20:47] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: google
[20:47] <Fryguy--> rsavela: is the disk visible in bios
[20:48] <Lynet> Hilikus: Depends on what part of the boot you are talking about. Most deamons, networking etc is started from rc2.d. And then there is the very early kernel stuff, most of which is handled by the initial ramdisk loaded by the kernel.
[20:48] <rsavela> yes, works with Suse 10.3 - 2.6.22 kernel with amd74xx driver
[20:48] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: except google. that's obvious ;)
[20:49] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: google is a search engine, you are searching for help, i am confused
[20:49] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: irc channels if you need it very well explained
[20:49] <rsavela> I had to put the amd74xx first in the initrd though.
[20:49] <tannji> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25257/
[20:49] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: this one would work i guess, or #linux, or grab a list of channels using /list and pick one
[20:49] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: i don't memorize an index of every irc channel in existence, sorry
[20:49] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: ok

[20:54] <Lynet> Hilikus: If it works fine manually but not a boot time, then my first guess is that it is run too early. That is, before some driver or service it needs is started.

[20:57] <ali_sh_ali> thanks for this good help for us
[20:57] <Fryguy--> enigmata: then your workgroups are probably messed up
[20:57] <lukehasnoname> !piracy > lukehasnoname
[20:57] <enigmata> Fryguy: what's the simplest way to correct that?
[20:57] <Fryguy--> enigmata: change workgroups so they match
[20:57] <vaportrailnew123> whats a good p2p to use
[20:57] <crimsun> tannji: interesting, thanks!  how about:  pasuspender -- aplay -Dplughw:0 /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav
[20:57] <Fryguy--> vaportrailnew123: i like rtorrent
[20:58] <vaportrailnew123> how bout one like limewire
[20:58] <Fryguy--> pretty sure that's available for linux
[20:58] <enigmata> Fryguy: I forgot to mention that I can ping the ubuntu machine from Vista, but the Ubuntu machine won't ping the Vista machine.
[20:58] <Fryguy--> enigmata: both on same subnet?
[20:58] <vaportrailnew123> well, i personally dont like limewire specificly due to adwares
[20:58] <Fryguy--> enigmata: firewall?
[20:59] <tannji> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25259/

[21:01] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: you'll need to use the alternate cd to install
[21:01] <tannji> crimsun, did it again, returned same string
[21:02] <WiltonStone> I have a quick question, i have downloaded the alternate cd twice already and it keeps coming up with the exact same "
[21:02] <Fryguy--> enigmata: then figure  out what firewall you have on vista that is preventing you from pinging, as that is probably the cause of your other networking problem
[21:02] <WiltonStone> incorrect hash"
[21:02] <mariachiac> Does that mean installation by text?
[21:02] <Bulzor> can anyone name a good extraction program for ubuntu?
[21:02] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: yes
[21:02] <crimsun> tannji: I'm not really interested in what string it returns.  I'm asking whether you can /hear/ the sound.
[21:02] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: for what format
[21:02] <Bulzor> r00
[21:02] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: unrar
[21:02] <joaopinto> !rar | Bulzor
[21:02] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: might be unrar-nonfree or something
[21:02] <tannji> crimsun:  sorry!   no, I can not hear the sound
[21:02] <WiltonStone> if i got the same incorrect hash twice, what is the possibility that it is actually ok to use
[21:03] <Bulzor> ok thx alot boys :P
[21:03] <crimsun> tannji: thanks.  Is this post-resume (from suspend-to-*)?
[21:03] <Fryguy--> WiltonStone: 0
[21:03] <vaportrailnew123> ok, ill look at frostwire
[21:03] <WiltonStone> where can i get a good copy from?
[21:03] <joaopinto> WiltonStone, are you referring to the md5 sum hash ?
[21:03] <WiltonStone> yes
[21:03] <Fryguy--> WiltonStone: make sure you are using the right hash, a new version of 8.04.1 came out recently
[21:03] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: that article doesn't work
[21:03] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: no idea then sorry
[21:03] <WiltonStone> yeah, i downloaded that twice last night
[21:03] <joaopinto> WiltonStone, not it is not.. the hash must match the one provided on a main mirror
[21:03] <Freenod1> hi always
[21:04] <tannji> crimsun:  lost me there.  are you asking if my box went to sleep, and then was un-suspended?
[21:04] <WiltonStone> maybe they just havent updated the new hash for 8.04.1
[21:04] <RenatoSilva> does anyone have tried martian modem on hardy?
[21:04] <crimsun> tannji: correct.
[21:04] <Freenod1> where is the java plugin for Konqueror 3.5.9. Thanks
[21:04] <tannji> crimsun... it has not suspended during our session
[21:04] <joaopinto> Freenod1, probably you should ask on #kubuntu
[21:04] <WiltonStone> where can i find the 8.04.1 hash? i cant seem to find it
[21:04] <crimsun> tannji: no, I mean before we began troubleshooting.
[21:05] <drixomanbeta> i keep on getting unmountable drive when i load xp in grub...
[21:05] <Freenod1> ok thanks
[21:05] <Freenod1> how can I change my nickname

[21:05] <boogieman> sup supp
[21:05] <tannji> crimsun, it may have, but I am not sure...  what can I do to check or refresh that state?
[21:05] <Novus> does anyone have any idea how I can redirect the data from saidar to a file?
[21:05] <crimsun> tannji: ok, can you reproduce the symptom after a fresh (re)boot?
[21:05] <boogieman> anyone knows how to troubleshoot uTorrent w/wine ?
[21:06] <tannji> crimsun... yes, it has never worked... so it reproduces at any point
[21:06] <Fryguy--> boogieman: you find an error, you google the error (or ask somebody), and work from there.  or you just use one of the many torrent clients available native to linux
[21:06] <boogieman> i just want to associate .torrents with uTorrent in Firefox.. but when i try to select the program i cant

[21:06] <numen> hello, any tips for getting gnome-menus application menu back? currently it shows just small white box, tried to reinstall it, didn't work and also if i use another username menu is showing
[21:06] <boogieman> Fryguy: i already done that
[21:06] <boogieman> thats why im hjere
[21:06] <RenatoSilva> I've run a make all that didn't work then a make install. Did this affect my system?
[21:07] <dr_Willis> boogieman,  check the forums - theres a trick or to - needed to be doen to do that..  i looked it up once ages ago.
[21:07] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: no
[21:07] <boogieman> ok thnx
[21:07] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: thanks
[21:07] <Fryguy--> boogieman: what did you do in firefox
[21:07] <fritzophrenic> hey, I'm running an installer for a game on multiple CDs...how do I take out the first CD to put in the next? Ubuntu won't let me eject it with the hardware button, and it tells me an application is preventing me from unmounting when I try doing it from Ubuntu
[21:07] <dr_Willis> boogieman,  i recall some script that did it.
[21:07] <crimsun> tannji: please download http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh, save it to your Desktop, and run it using `bash ~/Desktop/alsa-info.sh'
[21:07] <WiltonStone> i found the new hashes, it can be found here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/MD5SUMS
[21:07] <tannji> crimsun:  will do
[21:07] <WiltonStone> i dont see why they dont put it on the main site
[21:07] <joaopinto> fritzophrenic, if your are doing that using wine, please ask on #winehq
[21:08] <boogieman> thnxxxxx
[21:08] <WiltonStone> turns out it is the correct hash
[21:08] <boogieman> joapinto
[21:08] <tannji> crimsun, copy all and save it as a text document to desktop?
[21:08] <RenatoSilva> does anyone know martian modem?
[21:08] <joaopinto> boogieman, uTorrent is not a linux native app. you cant associate it directly from firefox
[21:08] <fritzophrenic> I am, but Ubuntu, not Wine, is preventing me from ejecting the disk
[21:08] <crimsun> tannji: did it tell you a url?  If so, just tell me the url.
[21:08] <joaopinto> you will need to create some wine wrapper
[21:08] <virtualroadside> anyone know what files happen to be in ~/.cache/ ?
[21:09] <Fryguy--> virtualroadside: thumbnails from nautiluis mostly
[21:09] <joaopinto> boogieman, you are aware that there are several inux native torrent clients.. right ?
[21:09] <drixomanbeta> i want to dual boot ubuntu and xp but i keep on getting a unmountable drive for xp in grub    any idea?
[21:09] <virtualroadside> ah, tnx
[21:09] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: did you install sp1 yet?
[21:09] <tannji> crimsun, the above link opened a page of text....  did not initiate a download
[21:09] <dr_Willis> fritzophrenic,  thats a common probl;em with some multidisk games. the Wine Guys may know of the proper work arounds.. I normally copy ALL the disks data to a single directory and run the installer from that dir. No cd's needed.
[21:09] <amenado> fritzophrenic-> you may have to go to a different console and mount/dismount the cdrom?
[21:09] <Fryguy--> tannji: file | save as
[21:09] <drixomanbeta> i will....
[21:09] <crimsun> tannji: you're supposed to save the file to your Desktop

[21:10] <fritzophrenic> okay, thanks dr_Willis
[21:10] <RenatoSilva> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/martian-modem/+bugs ---> this page notes martian-modem source package, but I can't find that package in Synaptic. What's it?
[21:10] <joaopinto> fritzophrenic, your question is related to a Wine based install... in linux you dont usually run installers from the CD, specially when they need to be changed
[21:10] <boogieman> no answer
[21:10] <boogieman> i have a little question, i made a little script to make uTorrent run in ubuntu 8, when the program launched the first time wine removed the app from my home folder and put it in the c:/ viertual drive... thats not the problem.. the problem is that i cannot associate .torrent to uTorrent because its in c:/ drive and i do not know how to do that...
[21:10] <StevenX>  I just installed compiz-fusion, and it is working fine except for one thing. My application switcher, etc. is not working
[21:11] <StevenX> for example, alt+tab does nothing, and I've already reverted to the default layout.
[21:11] <drixomanbeta> just want to make sure if i  install sp1 and then ubuntu i would not recieive the unmountable error...would I?
[21:11] <tannji> crimsun... I think this might be bad, lol.  when saving to desktop "Error stating file '/home/tannji/Desktop/utils': No such file or directory"
[21:11] <saxin> boogieman: where are you from?
[21:11] <crimsun> tannji: `wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh'
[21:11] <Fryguy--> boogieman: is there any reason you are using utorrent instead of one of the half dozen or so native linux torrent clients available
[21:11] <joaopinto> drixomanbeta, there is no relation between SP1 and your problem
[21:11] <Fryguy--> joaopinto: he's installing windows to a machine that doesn't recognize the full size of the hard drive, it is probably the source of his problem
[21:11] <drixomanbeta> any solution to the BSOD problem?
[21:12] <boogieman> saxin: does it matter?? im writing like this because i have a terrible hangover i can barely see
[21:12] <joaopinto> boogieman, since your question is more wine related, that ubuntu or linux... please try asking on #winehq
[21:12] <drixomanbeta> that's the one i'm worried about...
[21:12] <boogieman> fryguy: its my favorite client
[21:12] <joaopinto> Fryguy--, is question is not about that.. is about the inability to mount a windows partition from linux
[21:12] <Fryguy--> boogieman: so then point firefox to a command, something like wine "C:/Program Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe" then
[21:12] <joaopinto> drixomanbeta, is your partition fine ? can you use from windows ?
[21:12] <joaopinto> i mean.. use it
[21:12] <drixomanbeta> yeah....
[21:12] <Fryguy--> joaopinto: no it's not, it's about being unable to boot windows
[21:13] <wubrgamer> anyone?
[21:13] <drixomanbeta> i haven't installed sp1 yet..
[21:13] <tannji> crimsun, object not found
[21:13] <drixomanbeta> which i will right now...
[21:13] <Fryguy--> joaopinto: at least that's what he was claiming an hour ago, with the same error message
[21:13] <joaopinto> boogieman, so please ask for help on ##windows.. since your problem is related to the windows install.. and not to Ubuntu
[21:13] <mado> well guys ...
[21:13] <tannji> crimsun, should I copy that and past to terminal?
[21:13] <drixomanbeta> i just want some insight so i don't have to start over again.....
[21:13] <mado> i tried "amd64" ... and it doesn't work too!

[21:18] <Striking7> I have this line: netstat -nap | grep 3000 | grep  -o "[0-9]{4,6}"
[21:18] <Fryguy--> Striking7: use netstat
[21:18] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> hi all i ran into a problem while trying to install ATI prapritry drivers. it almost installed perfectly but it gave me a error . main prob is this "X Server: unable to detect" any1 know how i can get my X server back up and running .
[21:18] <Striking7> So this should grab the only 4 to 6 digit numbers from netstat's output and give it to me.
[21:18] <cast> Fryguy--: lol.
[21:18] <Striking7> But the grep -o gives me nothing
[21:18] <Fryguy--> cast: ?
[21:18] <Striking7> It never matches.
[21:18]  * cast looks at Striking7's cmd
[21:19] <Striking7> if I take out the {4,6} it'll output each number on a line, so it's matching the digits.
[21:19] <Fryguy--> Striking7: try egrep
[21:19] <joaopinto> DroP-PsyChoSiS, yoou should use the version available on the repositories
[21:19] <Striking7> thanks cast
[21:19] <x3> is there a way to display users in room in x chat

[21:20] <Striking7> cast - for some reason when I try doing that with awk, it just prints the whole input line
[21:20] <Fryguy--> Striking7: and like cast said, awk is better at pulling pid from matching lines anyway

[21:21] <Striking7> Fryguy--: I know - but it wasn't.  I first tried this:
[21:22] <Striking7> netstat -nap | grep 3000 | awk "{ print $4 }"
[21:22] <Striking7> But it gave me the whole input line
[21:22] <Striking7> Changing the 4 to anything from 0 to 7 gave me back the whole input line.

[21:23] <joaopinto> Striking7, yes.. all the difference
[21:23] <StevenX> Fryguy--, but shouldn't they be working?
[21:23] <Fryguy--> StevenX: maybe
[21:24] <StevenX> at least alt+tab should do something.
[21:24] <Striking7> WHOA!
[21:24] <StevenX> Fryguy--, k, will try
[21:24] <StevenX> Fryguy--, thanks
[21:24] <Striking7> joaopinto: That fixed it! Thanks.
[21:24] <Striking7> Fryguy--, cast, joaopinto, my worries are over.  Thanks!
[21:24] <Desolator> Please anyone able to help with PPPoE problems, fast. After I connect, about 1-2 minutes, I get disconnected for no apparent reason. Here's the `plog' output: http://pastebin.com/d7ae6f4
[21:24] <user_> anyone know of a good pptp client for ubuntu?
[21:24] <tannji> crimsun, I renamed the text files as alsa.info.sh, and tried to run it in terminal, no returned string, no action
[21:24] <JKAlfer> hey all...  i can't figure out how to enable the sphere deformation in compiz... any help?
[21:25] <Fryguy--> user_: pptp-client is a nice package, and network-manager has pptp support built in
[21:25] <zelrikriando> I have sound issues
[21:25] <joaopinto> !compiz | JKAlfer
[21:25]  * zelrikriando hates the sound system on ubuntu
[21:25] <JKAlfer> thanks
[21:25] <crimsun> zelrikriando: what sort?
[21:26] <user_> Im new to debian based linux, could you tell me how to install that package?
[21:26] <Jester45> is there a way to when a system is done booting to have it play/beep something on its internal speaker? doesnt have to be a song and i would rather it not be a song, just a tone for 2 or 3 secs so i know its finished booting. i have 5 servers that is quite anoying pinging the address untill i get a reponse when i could just hear the tone
[21:26] <Fryguy--> user_: sudo apt-get install package name
[21:26] <crimsun> tannji: `bash /path/to/wherever/you/saved/alsa-info.sh'?
[21:26] <Jester45> !apt
[21:26] <Fryguy--> user_: if you are in ubuntu, just right click on the network icon on top right and set up a vpn there
[21:26] <SunmanXII> can i format an external hard drive into ntfs using gparted?
[21:26] <zelrikriando> crimsun, sometimes , my sound fails...I cant recover easily...and now I am trying to open the sound preferences...no way it's opening
[21:26] <Fryguy--> SunmanXII: yes
[21:26] <Jester45> if you would like to know more user_ read above
[21:26] <Fryguy--> SunmanXII: wait, no
[21:26] <crimsun> zelrikriando: when does your sound "fail"?  What were you attempting?
[21:26] <user_> thank-you
[21:26] <SunmanXII> haha which one is it fryguy?
[21:26] <Fryguy--> SunmanXII: it's no
[21:26] <joaopinto> Jester45, install the beep package.. and add the beep into /etc/rc.local
[21:26] <zelrikriando> crimsun, I dont know when it fails...usually it fails when I dont use it
[21:27] <SunmanXII> what do i use to do it then?
[21:27] <Fryguy--> SunmanXII: windows
[21:27] <Jester45> joaopinto: thanks
[21:27] <zelrikriando> crimsun, I never figured out when it starts to fail
[21:27] <admin_> how do i kill all connections from ip x
[21:27] <admin_> how do i kill all connections from ip x
[21:27] <crimsun> zelrikriando: erm, ok.  Are you using something like a Java or Flash applet?
[21:27] <zelrikriando> crimsun, sometimes I am on youtube...might be related...
[21:27] <user_> E: Invalid operation pptp-client
[21:28] <Fryguy--> user_: sudo apt-get install pptp-client, and like i said, just right click on the network icon on the top right of your screen and set up the vpn that way
[21:28] <zelrikriando> crimsun, but is there something to with flash when I want to listen mp3's?
[21:28] <crimsun> zelrikriando: yes, there's breakage there.  Try installing libflashsupport.
[21:28] <Fryguy--> zelrikriando: create a file in /etc/firefox-3/ called firefoxrc, add the line FIREFOX_DSP=aoss there ,and then apt-get install alsa-oss
[21:28] <wil> hey is there a way to install a app to a removable drive like in windows?
[21:28] <dbmoodb> user_: pptp is not very secure
[21:28] <cast> wil: sure.
[21:29] <kyncani> admin_: setup a firewall. Use for example firestarter (graphical) or ufw (console mode)
[21:29] <user_> true dbmoodb
[21:29] <tannji> crimsun: I used " bash ~/home/tannji/Desktop/alsa-info.sh"  it just sends the cursor to the next line in terminal
[21:29] <admin_> kyncani: no, I meant something like tcpkill
[21:29] <user_> but with our fiewall, it is secure enough for now
[21:29] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> can anyone tell me pls y i cant connect to my X server
[21:29] <dbmoodb> wil: what do you mean --- what are you trying to make portable ?
[21:29] <joaopinto> wil, not a software from the repositories.. one built for source or installed from binaries.. yes
[21:29] <Fryguy--> tannji: chmod +x ~/home/tannji/Desktop/alsa-info.sh  and then ~/home/tannji/Desktop/alsa-info.sh
[21:29] <wil> cast: how so? im trying to get open office 2.3 on my eeepc buy want to have it installed on my removalbe drive to keep space free
[21:29] <dbmoodb> user_: with any firewall its not secure it removes security
[21:29] <Refefer> Hey there, having an installation issue with ubuntu
[21:29] <Refefer> I think it's installing it's bootloader onto the wrong hd
[21:30] <kkrusty> is there a repository for gngeo?
[21:30] <x3> is there a way to display users list in xchat/
[21:30] <Refefer> and thus, after I reboot, it loads up Windows XP
[21:30] <user_> well i could use l2tp, but if a router doesnt support ipsec then mitm attacker can still see traffic...
[21:30] <Refefer> and does not give me the option
[21:30] <Fryguy--> Refefer: how many hard drives do you have
[21:30] <tannji> crimsun: bash: +x: command not found
[21:30] <user_> what would you suggest?
[21:30] <dbmoodb> Refefer: during the installation you can pick which one (hard disk to install too) last time i installed if i remmeber correctly --if that doesn't work you can just disconnect / disable in bios the second / other drives
[21:31] <dbmoodb> user_: ..... ssh ? tunneling
[21:31] <crimsun> tannji: try wget "http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-info.sh" && mv index* alsa-info.sh
[21:31] <kkrusty> anyone?
[21:31] <fritzophrenic> I was just told in #winehq to check if I have direct rendering enabled...the command they gave was gixinfo, or possibly gixgears, but I get "command not found" for each...any idea what the correct command is?
[21:31] <Refefer> Fryguy--: I have 2- 1 pata, 1 sata
[21:31] <user_> I wish, but our ssh isnt secure either...
[21:31] <user_> v2
[21:31] <wil> just how would i make sure it installs the app to the removable drive when im compling it
[21:31] <Fryguy--> Refefer: disable/remove all hard drives that aren't of the type you are trying to install ubuntu to, and try again
[21:31] <enigmata> Fryguy: it was McAfee. What idiot took the ad/remove programs option out of the Control Panel? GEEZE!
[21:31] <tannji> crimsun:  use wget in terminal, browser,  or just click that url?
[21:32] <Ayabara> neither rhythmbox or amarok will play my mp3 files anymore. mplayer/vlc plays them. any ideas?
[21:32] <Fryguy--> user_: ssh can be very secure, what is the problem
[21:32] <zelrikriando> Fryguy--, crimsun I did what you both said
[21:32] <Klick__> Hey all, I just installed hardy on a IBM X41, and I was wondering how i can tell it to always run at 1.5ghz when I'm pluged into the wall, and only run at 600mhz when I'm on batery power
[21:32] <dbmoodb> user_: ssh is very secure
[21:32] <user_> my work doesnt support ssh v3
[21:32] <Fryguy--> user_: there is no ssh v3
[21:32] <dbmoodb> v1 one is not that great but ssh 2 is good. there is no such thing so far as i know as ssh v3
[21:32] <user_> oh, well then whats v2
[21:32] <dbmoodb> !openssh
[21:32] <boogieman> hi... im here again... a little question.. how do i associate torrents with ktorrent (just installed it)
[21:33] <zelrikriando> Fryguy--, then reboot?
[21:33]  * dbmoodb hits head
[21:33] <Jab> Is there a how to out there to fix choppy sound when playing mp3 music in hardy?
[21:33] <cast> wil: ./configure --prefix and --exec-prefix will tell it where to install, statically compile whatever it is if you can
[21:33] <Fryguy--> zelrikriando: i guess
[21:33] <user_> openssh has holes in it all the time
[21:33] <cast> user_: no it doesn't.
[21:33] <dbmoodb> user_: please go look this up
[21:33] <Fryguy--> user_: no it doesn't
[21:33] <zelrikriando> Fryguy--, I cant reboot...
[21:33] <Hilikus> was there a kernel update release recently? like last week or so?
[21:33] <dbmoodb> openssh has not had a hole for a few years now(of note in anyway)
[21:33] <Fryguy--> user_: and certainly not any more or less than any other piece of security-relevant software
[21:33] <zelrikriando> Fryguy--, the logout button isnt working anymore
[21:33] <user_> true
[21:33] <wil> cast: so what would complinging look like? example?
[21:34] <Brucevdk> Ayabara: sudo apt-get install libmad0 lixbine1-ffmpeg | then try in amarok?
[21:34] <Refefer> Fryguy--: The issue (I think) is that windows is on Disk 2, with the mbr on disk 1, and ubuntu is being installed on Disk 2, and writing the mbr on disk 1.  I don't want to lose either's ability too boot up.  Anyway I can tell it to write to the mbr on Disk 1
[21:34] <Refefer> ?
[21:34] <dbmoodb> user_: please stop and think. pptp is insure by its design and i dont hink that has been fixed
[21:34] <fritzophrenic> any idea how to determine if I "have direct rendering enabled"?
[21:34] <Fryguy--> Refefer: i told you what to do
[21:34] <dbmoodb> Refefer: in the installer ....
[21:34] <user_> it hasn
[21:34] <cast> wil: whats the app
[21:34] <Fryguy--> fritzophrenic: glxinfo | grep -i direct
[21:34] <fritzophrenic> gixinfo gives "command not found"
[21:34] <wil> cast:open office
[21:34] <zelrikriando> Fryguy--, in fact...my toolbar isnt working anymore
[21:34] <cast> hm.
[21:34] <crimsun> tannji: terminal
[21:34] <Fryguy--> fritzophrenic: are you running X?
[21:34] <fritzophrenic> yes
[21:35] <dbmoodb> when its says grub instal.. last time i installed / from the alt cd you might get it (pick the second / drive you want)
[21:35] <dbmoodb> glxinfo not fixinfo fritzophrenic
[21:35] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: his problem is he has pata and sata drives and grub is getting confused which drive to install to
[21:35] <cast> should ubuntu users use aptitude install or apt-get install?
[21:35] <dbmoodb> Fryguy--: so he should tell it which one
[21:35] <Fryguy--> cast: it doesn't really matter
[21:35] <zelrikriando> my system is half frozen...what should I do
[21:35] <user_> oh, i was thinking of ssl v2 vuln, not ssh, sorry
[21:35] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: yes, and grub gets it wrong
[21:36]  * dbmoodb ....
[21:36] <Ayabara> Brucevdk, already installed, but now it suddenly works again..
[21:36] <Ayabara> oh well
[21:36] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: which is why i told him to remove all drives of the other interface from his computer when he's installing
[21:36] <Brucevdk> Ayabara: how about Rhythmbox?
[21:36] <TiZ_> Hi. I've copied some fonts over from my Windows partition, and I want to use them as my system fonts. Except they're displayed a couple pixels higher than they're supposed to be. Is there anything I can do to correct this?
[21:36] <fritzophrenic> yes, gixinfo gives "command not found"
[21:36] <zelrikriando> crimsun, my system is half frozen now...what should I do???
[21:36]  * dbmoodb ah is this a known bug (i suggested that before you Fryguy-- if you care to scroll) but last time i installed there was an option just choose the drive you want
[21:36] <dbmoodb> it there isn't then i will file a bug
[21:36] <Fryguy--> TiZ_: play around with font hinting in the appearance menu
[21:36] <RoRza> can anyone tell me how to lock ubuntu without turning off ?
[21:36] <Fryguy--> fritzophrenic: it's glxinfo
[21:36] <RoRza> like locking in windows
[21:37] <crimsun> zelrikriando: "half-frozen"?  What did you do?
[21:37] <TiZ_> I'll give it a shot, Fryguy--.
[21:37] <tannji> crimsun, ran that in terminal
[21:37] <Fryguy--> RoRza: click the power button, and one of the options should be lock screen
[21:37] <dbmoodb> RoRza: yes i can they removed it from the system options. go to system logout and its there
[21:37] <cast> Fryguy--: oh. in the past apt-get didn't things as automagically installed or manually, so aptitude would come through and want to remove a whole lot of packages it deemed unneeded. thus in debian stable land mixing the two is to be avoided if you want to keep things simple. was wondering if its the same in ubuntu
[21:37] <fritzophrenic> oh, 'el' not 'eye'
[21:37] <x3> yea  press ctr alt del and choose lock desktop
[21:37] <Refefer> Fryguy-- and dbmoodb: If I was to disconnect my sata drive, which is what my computer boots from, wouldn't it still install the bootloader on the wrong drive?  After all, once I reinstalled ubuntu, it'd still install the bootloader on the drive that is not booted from
[21:37] <RoRza> ?
[21:37] <zelrikriando> crimsun, nothing...I tried to reboot about trying what you said...
[21:37] <fritzophrenic> need a new font, apparently
[21:37] <Fryguy--> Refefer: i said disconnect the other drive
[21:37] <Ayabara> Brucevdk, rhythmbox as well.
[21:37] <dbmoodb> RoRza: you can add an applet for the gnome-panel (look for the lock screen applet)
[21:37] <x3> or lock screen
[21:37] <Fryguy--> Refefer: if you boot from the sata drive, then disconnect the pata drives
[21:37] <Brucevdk> Ayabara: ok great
[21:38] <zelrikriando> crimsun, I think it started to break when I tried to acces my sound preferences though...the GUI never came up
[21:38] <dbmoodb> Fryguy--: your missing the point he wants ubuntu on one and not the other
[21:38] <Ayabara> Brucevdk, yes :-)
[21:38] <Kernel> hello all. i uninstalled open office as i never use it....and now when it says i have upgrades....it wants to upgrade open office? how is this possible?
[21:38] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: i'm not missing any point, he's not giving us any specifics
[21:38] <RoRza> 10x ...guys
[21:38] <user_> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2008-May/000706.html
[21:38] <tannji> crimsun: 15:33:42 (61.59 KB/s) - `index.html?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils%2Falsa-info.sh' saved [20364]
[21:38] <crimsun> zelrikriando: ok, so can you reboot?
[21:38] <dbmoodb> .... your not reading
[21:38] <Kernel> open office just takes up space for me...and adds large downloads when updating.
[21:38] <Ayabara> any better musicplayers for gnome than rhythmbox? isn't there an amarok-like alternative?
[21:38] <zelrikriando> crimsun, how?
[21:38] <Refefer> Fryguy--: but then I can't install ubuntu on my pata drive...
[21:38] <crimsun> tannji: right, now, did you `mv index* alsa-info.sh'?
[21:38] <user_> not a big fan of open office, i like vim
[21:38] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: neither are you, you were the one who is just like "oh install grub on the right drive" without paying any attention to the context of the problem
[21:38] <crimsun> zelrikriando: power-cycle the machine?
[21:38] <zelrikriando> crimsun, my taskbar frost
[21:39] <zelrikriando> ok
[21:39] <tannji> crimsun, will now
[21:39] <dbmoodb> amarok is good. there is a gtk based alternative exaile
[21:39] <TiZ_> The hinting didn't help, unfortunately. I think it's in the font itself. Is there anything I can use to make it come down lower?
[21:39] <Fryguy--> Refefer: so you want to install ubuntu on a drive, and then boot from a different drive?
[21:39] <dbmoodb> Fryguy--: .... its an ubuntu problem
[21:39] <Refefer> Fryguy--: exactly
[21:39] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: yes
[21:39] <tannji> crimsun: mv: cannot stat `index*': No such file or directory
[21:39] <Fryguy--> Refefer: if the drives are different interfaces, I don't know how to trick grub into using the right drive, sorry
[21:39] <dbmoodb> Fryguy--: i told you thats what he wanted to do. now if you had read that ...ah nevermind
[21:39] <crimsun> tannji: where did you save the file?
[21:39] <user_> E: Couldn't find package pptp-client
[21:40] <user_> still no dice
[21:40] <Fryguy--> user_: like i said, just right click on the network icon on the top right of the screeen and configure your vpn there
[21:40] <user_> no dice also
[21:40] <dbmoodb> try network-manager-pptp-gnome
[21:40] <dbmoodb> and apt-get build-dep on that package perhaps
[21:41] <tannji> crimsun: the only file I have saved is alsa-info.sh, on the desktop
[21:41] <ninjabob7> does anyone know how to get midi working with java? I can play midi files with Timidity++, but Java can't find a sequencer
[21:41] <crimsun> tannji: no, wget saved the file somewhere.  What directory are you at in the Terminal?
[21:42] <TiZ_> Is there any program that will let me bring the characters in a font down lower? It's a really good looking font, but it's a couple pixels too high and that ruins it. :|
[21:42] <crimsun> ninjabob7: you need to either close timidity and/or pasuspend
[21:42] <tannji> crimsun:  ah.....  ~$
[21:42] <Seracht> hi, what's the application that has all the music codecs that I should get?
[21:42] <amenado> i didnt know wubi have Read-Only Demo mode (live cd desktop it says)  -- am comparing a wubi install on a guest xp (on vbox) and an xp as host
[21:42] <ninjabob7> well it doesn't work even before i installed timidity
[21:42] <tannji> crimsun, cd to desktop then?
[21:42] <crimsun> tannji: sure, or provide the full path
[21:42] <dbmoodb> Seracht: gstreamer ? or xine ?
[21:42] <ninjabob7> i installed a lot of midi packages but it still doesn't work
[21:42] <Seracht> dbmoodb I meant like mp3 codecs
[21:43] <ninjabob7> i also tried the alsa-oss wrapper
[21:43] <dbmoodb> Seracht: gstreamer or xine
[21:43] <crimsun> ninjabob7: alsa-oss is irrelevant here
[21:43] <ninjabob7> http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/tgwiki/doku.php?id=doc:error_midi_unavailable_linux
[21:43] <dbmoodb> trying playing the .mp3 in totem
[21:43] <Seracht> I swear I thought it was some universal codec pack
[21:43] <Seracht> hmm
[21:43] <ninjabob7> first result for the error
[21:43] <johnnypea> hello ,can somebody tell what " 403 Forbidden" means?
[21:43] <crimsun> ninjabob7: the issue is by default, pulseaudio grabs the audio device exclusively, so you need to either use timidity or jackd.
[21:43] <ninjabob7> so how?
[21:43] <Fryguy--> TiZ_: like i said, you  need to play with the font hinting
[21:44] <Devlin_> Evening ladies and gents
[21:44] <TiZ_> Fryguy-- Font hinting did nothing.
[21:44] <Devlin_> I have a problem
[21:44] <crimsun> ninjabob7: well, does your hardware provide a sequencer?  (likely not)
[21:44] <ninjabob7> the sound works in java, just not the midi music
[21:44] <Fryguy--> TiZ_: then you are out of luck
[21:44] <ninjabob7> don't think so
[21:44] <Fryguy--> johnnypea: it means the website isn't allowing access to that resource
[21:44] <user_> E: Unable to find a source package for network-manager-pptp-gnome
[21:44] <TiZ_> I see. Well, thank you anyways.
[21:44] <ninjabob7> but the snd_seq_midi module is loaded
[21:44] <crimsun> ninjabob7: /dev/seq* access is problematic with pulseaudio.  Use ALSA directly.
[21:45] <zelrikriando> crimsun, ok I rebooted using 'sudo reboot' (I had a terminal handy)
[21:45] <johnnypea> it says when I whant to download or update repositores? why is that?
[21:45] <ninjabob7> ok, so how do i do that?
[21:46] <zelrikriando> crimsun, for now the sound is back but I dont know for how long it will be like this
[21:46] <crimsun> ninjabob7: you need to describe precisely what you're trying to do, which means you need to tell me which applications you're using.
[21:46] <crimsun> ninjabob7: (that are related to audio)
[21:46] <crimsun> zelrikriando: did you install libflashsupport?
[21:46] <zelrikriando> crimsun, yeah
[21:47] <Devlin_> For some weird reason, when I copy files from CD/DVD in the gui(nautilus/metacity/gnome) it marks them read-only and I have to manually sort them out
[21:47] <zelrikriando> crimsun, I dont like when the sound fails...my whole system is going wild when that happens
[21:47] <ninjabob7> crimsun: I'm trying to run a java-based game that uses midi for music. everything works, including sound, except the music. there are no other apps open except whatever loads with xfce
[21:48] <tannji> crimsun:  Wget command did this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25264/  I dont see a path to where it saved to, and it is not in the download folder or desktop
[21:48] <ninjabob7> here is the error message: "javax.sound.midi.MidiUnavailableException: Audio Device Unavailable"
[21:48] <user_> okay, well lets get back to the basics... I downloaded the tarball for pptpd, and when i compile it, i get "/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory" does anyone know where to get the ctrl.o library?
[21:48] <Fryguy--> user_: sudo apt-get install pptpd
[21:48] <crimsun> tannji: it's in your $HOME.
[21:48] <tannji> crimsun:  I see how busy you are, I am in no hurry  = )\
[21:49] <crimsun> tannji: mv -f ~/index* ~/alsa-info.sh
[21:49] <ygor_abreu> Hey guys..dows any1 know how can i convert to a video file, the webcam logs that amsn create?  they are .cam extension...
[21:49] <erUSUL> user_: whay are you compiling from source???
[21:49] <user_> because i like source
[21:49] <Fryguy--> user_: if you like source, then you probably shouldn't be using ubuntu, and you should use a distribution more suitable for source compilations
[21:50] <erUSUL> user_: sudo apt-get build-dep pptpd
[21:50] <user_> My first time with deb based linux
[21:50] <Fryguy--> user_: in ubuntu, the ubuntu way is to use the precompiled binary packages in it's repository for as much as possible.  you are defeating a large point of the purpse of ubuntu
[21:50] <user_> i figured i would give it a try
[21:50] <dbmoodb> user_: enjoy the apt-get
[21:50] <Devlin_> yes, user_ - learn to love apt-get, it is your best buddy.
[21:50] <Reformer81> user_: Yeah, you'll love apt. :)
[21:50] <user_> lol
[21:51] <johnnypea> please, I cannot update or download new repositores due to "403 Forbidden" thing? please can anybody help, I am looking for a solution for almost a month
[21:51] <user_> y
[21:51] <user_> sorry y unintended
[21:51] <Reformer81> ygor_abreu: Look into ffmpeg.
[21:51] <Fryguy--> johnnypea: what repository
[21:51] <amenado> hmmm ...something new .. Connect to a 802.1x protected wired network... was this on hardy before? or only on 8.04.1 ?
[21:51] <dbmoodb> johnnypea: try changing the repositories your are using
[21:51] <dbmoodb> amenado: i think it was on gutsy
[21:51] <crimsun> ninjabob7: / tannji: I'm away to find a new wifi hotspot, should be able 15-20 mins.
[21:52] <amenado> dbmoodb-> not on my gutsy...i havent not seen this before
[21:52] <tannji> crimsun, roger
[21:52] <dbmoodb> mmm perhaps i had installed it --- its for vpn i think
[21:52] <Gigi> how can I access the pastbin... need to ask something!!
[21:52] <johnnypea> everything worked but from out of nothing it stopped working...I can update or download no repositores at all
[21:52] <Fryguy--> !pastebin | Gigi
[21:52] <Reformer81> Gigi: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[21:52] <Fryguy--> johnnypea: what repository
[21:52] <Gigi> thanks.
[21:52] <Gigi> Had the older link
[21:53] <TiZ_> Hey, is it possible, when you click a link to download a file in firefox, to open it as root?
[21:53] <Reformer81> TiZ_: Thankfully, no.
[21:53] <johnnypea> Fryguy--, all of them :(
[21:53] <amenado> dbmoodb it must only on 8.04.1  i just installed it via wubi...anyone else can confirm if this is available a part of stock install on 8.04 hardy ?
[21:53] <erUSUL> TiZ_: you need windows for that XD
[21:53] <TiZ_> Hm. Then where else am I going to put the fonts I download?
[21:53] <dbmoodb> what Reformer81 . it is possible -- yes i can confirm that (its part of stock)
[21:53] <Devlin_> That's easy
[21:53] <Fryguy--> johnnypea: all of them what? there are hundred of ubuntu repositories in existence, and you aren't using them all, which ones are you using
[21:53] <Reformer81> TiZ_: Just download it then use sudo to do what you need.
[21:53] <erUSUL> !fonts | TiZ_
[21:54] <Fryguy--> TiZ_: open up fonts:// in nautilus and drag drop
[21:54] <dbmoodb> * what Reformer81 said -- its is possible but its NOT A GOOD IDEA.
[21:54] <Gigi> I'm trying to make wine work... but when I type winecfg I get this  http://paste.ubuntu.com/25265/
[21:54] <drpcken> is it possible to disable the laptop touchpad when a usb mouse is connected?
[21:54] <Reformer81> dbmoodb: Well, I guess I made a bad assumption ... thought something that stupid shouldn't be possible :)
[21:54] <TiZ_> Thanks for the responsiveness, guys.
[21:54] <johnnypea> Fryguy--, you mean the source of repositories?
[21:54] <TiZ_> :)
[21:54] <Fryguy--> johnnypea: yes
[21:54] <amenado> drpcken-> possible, if you tinker with it in the xorg.conf file
[21:54] <Fryguy--> Gigi: do you have a ~/.wine/drive_c already/
[21:54] <dbmoodb> Reformer81: yes your answer is better for end users i suppose
[21:55] <ygor_abreu> Reformer81: thx mate
[21:55] <johnnypea> Fryguy--, I have tried the US and CZECH download servers but none of them are working for me
[21:55] <Gigi> Fryguy-- I do not, but when I click on autodetect, it appears... but if I do close and reopen, drive c goes away....  It has been long time not using windows nor wine... so do not remember
[21:55] <dbmoodb> johnnypea: what version of ubuntu are you on ?
[21:55] <Ali__> Anyone have used a wireless connection on DELL VOSTRO 1500 in ubuntu?
[21:55] <drpcken> how can i open and edit my xorg.conf?  its been a couple months since i turned on my ubuntu box :)
[21:55] <johnnypea> dbmoodb, 8.04 HARDY
[21:55] <Fryguy--> drpcken: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:56] <Gigi> drpcken I guess - gedit /etc/xll/xorg.conf
[21:56] <Ali__> ?????????/
[21:56] <Fryguy--> Ali__: which card? the dell card or the intel card
[21:56] <drpcken> the reason i want to disable touchpad is because sometimes, for no reason at all the mouse cursor will start drifting right or left... i'm assuming its the touchpad
[21:56] <dbmoodb> Ali__: it should work
[21:57] <Ali__> I think it has detected the card
[21:57] <dbmoodb> have you tried to use it ?
[21:57] <Ali__> but it needs the network name
[21:57] <Gigi> Readint the error it says "err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report
[21:57] <Gigi> "
[21:57] <Fryguy--> so then give it th enetwork name
[21:57] <user_> okay, now i have pppd, where do i find the package for pptp-client, i only seep the rpm and tarball option?
[21:57] <Ali__> but I want an applicaion to search for wireless networks and connect to
[21:57] <Fryguy--> user_: sudo apt-get install pptpclient i think, or apt-cache search pptp and check out the results
[21:58] <Fryguy--> Ali__: click on the network icon on the top right of your screen
[21:58] <johnnypea> :(
[21:58] <dbmoodb> its called networking-manager and its in the top right hand corner just try that :)
[21:58] <dr_Willis> Gigi,  i see that message all the time.. even on programs that work...
[21:58] <dbmoodb> you have wifi networks near you yes ?
[21:58] <Ali__> It needs the network name!
[21:58] <user_> my networking manager doesnt have crap
[21:58] <erUSUL> !info pptp-linux | user_
[21:58] <Fryguy--> Ali__: browse the interface some more, there is a scan option there
[21:58] <dbmoodb> user_: get the pptp package for it
[21:58] <Ali__> Is it exactly the name that is seen in windows?
[21:59] <dbmoodb> network-manager-pptp-gnome
[21:59] <dbmoodb> Ali__: yes
[21:59] <Fryguy--> user_: enable the universe and multiverse repositories in synaptic
[21:59] <Fryguy--> user_: in the system menu
[21:59] <drpcken> ok how about this, is it possible to disable the little eraser head thingy on laptop keyboards?  you know that controls the mouse cursor?
[21:59] <zelrikriando> crimsun, do you think it's fixed now?
[21:59] <Ali__> Well, how can I make sure that the wireless card is detected?
[22:00] <dbmoodb> well go lspci -v |grep wire
[22:00] <Fryguy--> Ali__: use ifconfig and iwconfig and make sure you have a wireless interface
[22:00] <dbmoodb> if that fails try lspci -v --- find your wireless card
[22:00] <johnnypea> I dont understand that, everything else works for me excluding the Updates for Ubuntu
[22:00] <Ali__> thanks
[22:01] <Qubed> sooo uhhh
[22:01] <Qubed> why is my ubuntu sucking?
[22:01] <Fryguy--> !ask | Qubed
[22:01] <ninjabob7> crimsun: so how do I use alsa instead of pulseaudio? I have the xfce4-mixer-alsa package installed, but I don't know how to tell it to use that one
[22:02] <Fryguy--> !pulse | ninjabob7
[22:02] <satlan> what is the shortcut to change direction? (ctrl-shift in windows)
[22:02] <Qubed> k....how do I make firefox, or a lot of other apps, actually start....the process starts, it shows in the taskbar, and then it disappears, and leaves a sleeping process
[22:02] <Gigi> its working
[22:02] <Gigi> I killed the old .wine folder and now it goes through
[22:03] <Gigi> thanks!
[22:03] <Fryguy--> Qubed: what video card are you using
[22:03] <Qubed> ati radeon 9200 if I recall
[22:03] <Qubed> yeah that sounds right
[22:03] <Fryguy--> Qubed: are you using 3d desktop effects
[22:03] <user_> user_: enable the universe and multiverse repositories in synaptic>> i dont see multiverse and universe
[22:03] <Qubed> no
[22:04] <unop> Qubed, does this happen to firefox only?
[22:04] <Fryguy--> Qubed: are you sure
[22:04] <RenatoSilva> I've configured my DSL connection through #pppoeconf, but now I need to make my other dialed connection to work. I've got to put my modem driver working, I use Gnome-PPP to connect and it goes ok, but the only way to make internet really work was by commenting these lines [http://pastebin.com/d53d9fed8]  in /etc/network/interfaces and restarting the system. I believe my prior DSL config was the cause of not being able to 
[22:04] <Qubed> well, firefox is the main thing, like it will start for a while, then if I close it, I can't get it to start again
[22:04] <Salvat> hi every one
[22:04] <Finiras> I am looking for a command that lets me see system information - such as processor, RAM storage, free disk space - I do not have access to a graphical interface
[22:04] <Qubed> also uhh, the visual boy advance........it started weirding out on me doing the same thing
[22:05] <unop> Qubed, ok, make sure that firefox hasn't crashed and you have defunct/hung processes lying about - same with your advance
[22:05] <Fryguy--> Finiras: cat /proc/cpuinfo, free, and df are the 3 commands you can use
[22:05] <Salvat> can anyone post some information that acutually works of how to install lineage2 in ubuntu
[22:05] <Qubed> I killed all firefox processes
[22:05] <Finiras> fryguy-- thanks I'll try it
[22:05] <unop> Qubed,  killall -9 firefox-bin  # at a terminal to make sure
[22:06] <user_> i hate myself for switching to ubuntu :(
[22:06] <Fryguy--> user_: so then switch back to whatever you were using before
[22:06] <Broken> Hello - I've just built a new box from components I got from ebuyer. I had to get a replacement motherboard, because the previous one was a) unstable and b) wouldn't pass POST later on.
[22:06] <user_> no compiling from sourch?
[22:06] <Qubed> yeah, no process killed, they is all dead
[22:06] <Salvat> i love ubuntu it blows windows away
[22:06] <Salvat> just give your self time and you will learn
[22:06] <Reformer81> user_: Linux shouldn't make you hate yourself.  So go to whatever you used before and be happy :)
[22:06] <Broken> Unfortunately, now I'm suffering stability problems.
[22:06] <user_> CentOS
[22:06] <phish> Why is it when I try to load a fullscreen game at 640x480 it seems like the monitor is at a much higher resolution "emulating" 640x480?
[22:06] <unop> Qubed, now launch firefox from a terminal and see if it spits out any error messages that might help troubleshoot
[22:07] <Fryguy--> Salvat: that's a subjective opinion, and doesn't apply to user_ since he comes from a somewhat more advanced linux backround
[22:07] <Salvat> i just made the switch a week ago and have already reintalled 4 times l;ol
[22:07] <unop> user_, what do you mean by "no compiling from source" ?
[22:07] <Broken> When I try to format my hard drive with GParted in Ubuntu, it freezes.
[22:07] <Qubed> *blink blink* holy **** it started
[22:07] <Broken> I do not have this problem when simply deleting partitions.
[22:07] <user_> I love linux, but switching distros is a little frustrating
[22:07] <Salvat> use the free cd
[22:07] <Salvat> that you wrote
[22:07] <Broken> It seems to me that it's either when I create a new partition or when the partition gets formatted that the problem arises.
[22:07] <user_> i cant get pptp to compile now... I finally got the ppp daemon running
[22:08] <user_> and i have no idea what package thing your talking about
[22:08] <unop> Qubed, how do you usually launch firefox? from the menu or a launcher?
[22:08] <Fryguy--> user_: compiling in ubuntu is just as hard as compiling in centos
[22:08] <Qubed> launcher or menu doesn't work
[22:08] <Qubed> but starts fine from terminal
[22:08] <Salvat> can anyone point me to a group that couljd help me with win and lineage2
[22:08] <unop> user_, or as easy ...
[22:08] <crater_fan> Hi all, I am unable to use mplayer / vlc to play any of my video files. vlc plays just the audio, mplayer freezes after showing a black video window. Any hints what is wrong ? I tried reinstalling mplayer and w32codecs, no change. :(
[22:08] <Finiras> if i have access to the ubuntu partition from windows, is it possible to retrieve passwords or change them?
[22:08] <Salvat> wine and lineage2
[22:08] <Fryguy--> Finiras: change yes, retrieve, no
[22:08] <user_> well people here are telling me if i want to compile from source to switch distros again
[22:09] <crimsun> zelrikriando: libflashsupport should fix that particular symptom, but it may introduce instability.
[22:09] <user_> is there a place to get a bunch of popular libraries?
[22:09] <crimsun> zelrikriando: (the underlying issues are all fixed in intrepid)
[22:09] <unop> user_, that would be bad advice -- and that's not true -- sometimes you do have to compile and that's fine in ubuntu too
[22:09] <Fryguy--> user_: right, it's not the way you should be installing software in most distributions of linux
[22:09] <Fryguy--> user_: distributions pre-package software for you for a reason (centos included)
[22:09] <crimsun> ninjasenses: remove the pulseaudio package, for starters
[22:10] <user_> true, RPM has its frustrations too
[22:10] <greenfishx3> how do i find out if im running i386 or i686 kernel?
[22:10] <Fryguy--> greenfishx3: i386
[22:10] <RenatoSilva> ﻿﻿ I've configured my DSL connection through #pppoeconf, but now I need to make my other dialed connection to work. I've got to put my modem driver working, I use Gnome-PPP to connect and it goes ok, but the only way to make internet really work was by commenting these lines [http://pastebin.com/d53d9fed8]  in /etc/network/interfaces and restarting the system. I believe my prior DSL config was the cause of not being a
[22:10] <greenfishx3> Fryguy--: sorry?
[22:10] <unop> Qubed, not really sure what is happening there -- maybe there's a problem with the gnome desktop keeping windows open
[22:11] <Fryguy--> greenfishx3: use uname to check
[22:11] <unop> user_, what are you compiling?
[22:11] <user_> pptp
[22:11] <Fryguy--> unop: a package that is in ubuntu repositories
[22:11] <Qubed> I'd bet on something like that...because the visual boy advance thing, the main window starts up, but when the game is supposed to start, it doesn't....
[22:11] <user_> it wont find it...
[22:11] <greenfishx3> thank you Fryguy--
[22:11] <user_> i dot see it in package manager too
[22:11] <unop> user_, maybe you don't have all the ubuntu repos enabled
[22:12] <Reformer81> user_: Could you pastebin your sources.lst file?
[22:12] <Niklas_E> is there any icq client where you can change skin and gui?
[22:12] <unop> !repositories | user_
[22:12] <Fryguy--> user_: i don't you earlier to enable multiverse and universe repositories in synaptic, in the system menu
[22:12] <Fryguy--> Niklas_E: pidgin
[22:12] <user_> user_: enable the universe and multiverse repositories in synaptic
[22:13] <broken_quiche> Does anyone know of a reason for a livecd to freeze when formatting hard disk partitions?
[22:13] <user_> cant find that option
[22:13] <Fryguy--> broken_quiche: bad burn, incomptaible hardware, or a bad hard disk, or other bad hardware
[22:13] <Reformer81> broken_quiche: First make sure it's actually frozen.  That process can take a while without showing any progress.
[22:13] <drpcken> if i have the xorg.conf open, how can i disable a line?  for instance if i want to disable a piece of hardware?
[22:13] <unop> user_, not synaptic -- but software properties -- actually, see the wiki that ubottu just recommended
[22:13] <broken_quiche> I left it for around 40 minutes.
[22:13] <w30> broken_quiche, maybe it runs out of memory
[22:13] <Reformer81> drpcken: Add # to the beginning of the line.
[22:13] <Bulzor> can anyone help me with a problem regarding firefox?
[22:13] <icenate001> hi i tried to burn ubuntu to cd... but it didnt work said invalid cd type.. when i ran the setup
[22:14] <Fryguy--> broken_quiche: make sure the disc is valid (run verify disc), and if it is, try using the alternate cd to install.  if you still have problems, conduct some basic hardware diagnosis to make sure that all of your hardware is working correctly
[22:14] <unop> !ask | Bulzor
[22:14] <broken_quiche> Heh, it's got 4GB.
[22:14] <Fryguy--> !ask | Bulzor
[22:14] <broken_quiche> of RAM
[22:14] <Bulzor> firefox crashes when i visit certain websites
[22:14] <Reformer81> Bulzor: What sites?
[22:14] <broken_quiche> Fryguy--: Yeah, I did check CD for defects.
[22:14] <drpcken> so what if i want to disable a whole section of "InputDevice"?
[22:14] <Bulzor> like this one www.blabbermouth.net
[22:14] <Reformer81> Bulzor: What version of Firefox?  And what errors, if any, does it give you?
[22:14] <Fryguy--> drpcken: append '#' to each line you want to comment out
[22:15] <broken_quiche> I'm thinking that this may be a hardware problem; I've only just built this box and I had a faulty mobo last time.
[22:15] <geirha> icenate001: http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Downloading_and_Burning_an_Ubuntu_ISO
[22:15] <icenate001> ty
[22:15] <broken_quiche> Well, OpenSUSE has done this.
[22:15] <Reformer81> broken_quiche: If you're getting the same problem from two different distros, it's most like hardware-related.
[22:15] <user_> actually someone mentioned that pptp isnt secure earlier.. Is there any way i can do a PoC on my works pptp server to prove to them that we can't use this old and busted method of VPN
[22:16] <broken_quiche> Reformer81: I mean that OpenSUSE succeeded in doing the job, sorry.
[22:16] <broken_quiche> And thanks.
[22:16] <Fryguy--> user_: this isn't the correct place to be asking about conducting security audits on corporate  networks
[22:16] <Reformer81> broken_quiche: Oh, okay.
[22:16] <broken_quiche> Thanks to you, also, w30
[22:16] <user_> k...
[22:16] <Bulzor> It's the newest version of firefox and i dont get any error messages when it crashes
[22:16] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: what page
[22:16] <w30> Bulzor, Firefox gets flaky for me when I visit porn sites; I think they run about scripts on you when you load their pages so Firefox crashers rather than let them have their way with yo. Ha!
[22:16] <Reformer81> Bulzor: Try running 'firefox' from a terminal.  When it crashes, check the terminal window for error messages.
[22:17] <w30> about a million
[22:17] <Qubed> aye I'm back....I just found out that I can't get firefox to show up as a user, but running as root it starts up fine, does that help any?
[22:17] <Bulzor> ok i will try
[22:17] <Fryguy--> Qubed: going back to my original question from quite a few minutes ago that you ignored.  are you running 3d effects, and are you sure
[22:17] <broken_quiche> Are there any BIOS settings that I could change in the hope that things will stabillise?
[22:17] <Qubed> what are 3d effects?
[22:18] <Fryguy--> Qubed: use the gpu to render your desktop, it's enabled by default
[22:18] <broken_quiche> The thing is, I fiddled with BIOS settings before and, um, ended up with my system being unable to pass POST.
[22:18] <Reformer81> Qubed: Turn them on and find out.  Also, Google for "compiz." :)
[22:18] <unop> hmm, firefox crashed on me too visiting blabbermouth.net
[22:18] <Fryguy--> Qubed: if your video card isn't set up correctly it can cause problems
[22:18] <Qubed> unless ubuntu installs 3d stuff automatically, I don't
[22:18] <Qubed> wait
[22:18] <cafree> I messed up my install a little, creating a partition and associating it with media, forgetting that's a folder that actually exists.  How can I "reassign" /media to my root partition?
[22:18] <Qubed> compiz is bad? or good?
[22:18] <Fryguy--> Qubed: it does
[22:18] <broken_quiche> Still, I supose that if that is the case, I can always remove the CMOS battery... right?
[22:18] <Reformer81> broken_quiche: If you're not too good at fiddling with your BIOS, I wouldn't suggest doing it again :P
[22:18] <Fryguy--> Qubed: compiz is 3d effects, installed by default
[22:18] <broken_quiche> Reformer81: Well I don't know whether it was PEBKAC or faulty components.
[22:18] <Fryguy--> Qubed: turn them off in the appearance menu and see if problems persist
[22:18] <Bulzor> this is strange .. when i start firefox in terminal and visit blabbermouth it dont crash :S
[22:19] <tripps> what is recommended, to use my ATI radeon restricted driver supplied by ubuntu, or use the driver install utility from ATI's website? I've heard from wine folks and others that the compiled version from ATI is better.
[22:19] <Fryguy--> cafree: just unmount it
[22:19] <Reformer81> Bulzor: Heh... that is odd :)
[22:19] <greenfishx3> whats the cli command to find out what speed/core your processor have?
[22:19] <Qubed> where would I find out where to enable/disable 3d effects?
[22:19] <Fryguy--> greenfishx3: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[22:19] <Fryguy--> Qubed: in the appereance menu
[22:19] <Qubed> k k
[22:19] <dew> tripps: i had decent luck using EnvyNG to install ati drivers
[22:19] <unop> cafree, unmount your /media partition -- and you have the folder back .. you'll need to disable the partition from loading up again by editing the /etc/fstab file and changing the mount point to where this partition should from now on be mounted
[22:19] <Bulzor> but dude thx alot .. starting firefox in terminal is np :D
[22:19] <Fryguy--> !envy | dew: tripps:
[22:19] <tomd123> cafree: reinstall maybe? if you just installed, you can just do a fresh install to make it clean
[22:20] <cafree> Fryguy--, I think it's more than that.  It's got the actually "pointers" or whatever to my cdroms and such
[22:20] <Fryguy--> cafree: explain
[22:20] <Qubed> oh now this is good *appearance dialog does not show up*
[22:20] <Reformer81> Bulzor: Actually, it is a problem... but if you're okay with it then cool.
[22:20] <dew> Fryguy--: thanks, but i /did/ say EnvyNG ;)
[22:20] <greenfishx3> Fryguy--: hmm i have a 4400+ dual core cpu, that command you gave me says 1000mhz cpu mhz is that normal
[22:21] <cafree> Fryguy--, during the installation, I associated with a partition with /media, like I did with associating another partition with /
[22:21] <Bulzor> :)
[22:21] <Fryguy--> greenfishx3: sure, ubuntu steps down your processors speed when you aren't using it
[22:21] <w30> greenfishx3, proc has lots of specs, just cd /proc and do a cat meminfo and etc. on interesting file names in /proc
[22:21] <tripps> Fryguy--, dew, cool - checking that out
[22:21] <Fryguy--> cafree: so unmount it, and edit fstab so that you don't mount it again
[22:21] <cafree> Fryguy--, now when I mount that partition, I see several files: cdrom, cdrom0, cdrom1, etc etc
[22:21] <greenfishx3> ah cool Fryguy-- and thanks w30
[22:21] <Fryguy--> greenfishx3: look at powernowd if you want details
[22:21] <Bulzor> i'm pretty new to linux but i got to say this is far better than windows :) much much better and faster
[22:22] <cafree> Fryguy-- yeah but now my /media doesn't display cdrom, cdrom0, cdrom1, etc
[22:22] <snoopcat> is there a code that goes in terminal for internet explorer 7?
[22:22] <unop> cafree, copy those directories into the /media folder
[22:22] <dew> i'm actually about to give installing the version from the amd site a crack
[22:22] <unop> cafree, or move them rather
[22:22] <greenfishx3> Fryguy--: awesome ^_^
[22:22] <Reformer81> snoopcat: IE is a Windows program, not Linux.
[22:22] <nibsa1242b> where is the FF3 cache located?
[22:22] <Fryguy--> cafree: so then unmount /media, remove it from fstab and reboot
[22:22] <snoopcat> oh
[22:22] <dew> see if it sorts out my shitty 1080p performance
[22:22] <snoopcat> ok
[22:22] <snoopcat> lol
[22:22] <Bulzor> why use internet explorer in linux? :/
[22:22] <Fryguy--> nibsa1242b: ~/.firefox/somewhere/deep/in/here
[22:22] <cafree> Fryguy--, I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying.  I did that
[22:22] <tomd123> snoopcat: although ie has been known to run under wine+linux :)
[22:22] <snoopcat> to play a game=)
[22:22] <cafree> unop: that simple, huh?
[22:22] <Reformer81> snoopcat: Use Firefox...
[22:22] <snoopcat> i have wine
[22:22] <cafree> unop, I'll give it a shot
[22:22] <Fryguy--> cafree: and you restarted?
[22:22] <Reformer81> snoopcat: Ah.
[22:22] <Manger> hey all
[22:23] <cafree> Fryguy--, yes
[22:23] <snoopcat> firefox doesnt work
[22:23] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: tomd123 there is always ies4linux
[22:23] <snoopcat> it sucks
[22:23] <user_> snoopcat to play a game???
[22:23] <Manger> i need some assistance with troubleshooting a webcam
[22:23] <Fryguy--> cafree: so now what is the problem
[22:23] <iplaythisgame> I have a question, allow mouse keys keeps enabling. Im not sure what is doing it but it comes on every couple days. Anyone run across this before?
[22:23] <snoopcat> lol yeh
[22:23] <user_> sounds like a social engineering plou
[22:23] <user_> y
[22:23] <unop> cafree, should be -- just make sure you associate this partition with a new mount point now (in /etc/fstab) -- that's it
[22:23] <Manger> are there any webcam gurus in the house?
[22:23] <Fryguy--> cafree: you have /media back on your root partition, and things should be showing up
[22:23] <crater_fan> ﻿hello all, mplayer on my m/c freezes when starting a video file. No audio/video just a black window. Any idea what is happening ?
[22:23] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: is the game in java?
[22:23] <Fryguy--> !ask | Manger
[22:23] <snoopcat> well is there a code for hypercam?
[22:23] <snoopcat> yeah it is
[22:23] <dew> crater_fan: probably the wrong video output thingy
[22:23] <snoopcat> i have java
[22:23] <user_> you can use about:cionfig to make  your firefox look like explorer
[22:24] <snoopcat> but somebody said i need IE7
[22:24] <Reformer81> snoopcat: Have you tried it yet?
[22:24] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: yeah, but it doesn't work right with FF3 unless you remove icedtea
[22:24] <cafree> Fryguy--, two things.  A) my /media does not display my cdroms (maybe it shouldn't because they have no disks?), B, my partition, when mounted has entries for cdrom0, cdrom1, etc
[22:24] <snoopcat> yeh...
[22:24] <Bulzor> btw is it possible to start windows xp  inside ubuntu using virtual box if your windows is on a different disk?
[22:24] <crater_fan> dew, I used to use -vo x11 that is not working right now.
[22:24] <cafree> unop,  I'll try that
[22:24] <snoopcat> woah im confused
[22:24] <dew> crater_fan: did you try gl or gl2?
[22:24] <Fryguy--> cafree: so put a disc in and see what happens
[22:24] <crater_fan> dew, how do I know what is the correct parameter now ?
[22:24] <snoopcat> well
[22:24] <Manger> ok will do
[22:24] <Reformer81> Bulzor: No.  Virtual machines won't let you boot an actual partition.
[22:24] <crater_fan> dew, no. I will try now.
[22:24] <snoopcat> can somebody help me get hyper cam?
[22:24] <dew> crater_fan: i dunno, trial and error? ;)
[22:24] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: yeah, but it doesn't work right with FF3 unless you remove icedtea or iceweasel or something... I'll tell you what it is in a min
[22:24] <Reformer81> snoopcat: Look at "Applications -> Add/Remove"
[22:25] <dew> crater_fan: also try xv
[22:25] <cafree> Fryguy--, all right, thanks for your help, but it sounds like this isn't an issue you've run across before.  I'll play around and report back
[22:25] <crater_fan> dew, okay
[22:25] <Fryguy--> cafree: i haven't run across any issue before, i don't use linux
[22:25] <Gman_> i'm trying to install Ubuntu on an HP NetServer LC3. When booting with a bootable CD, the kernel uncompresses fine, but never loads. This happens with all combinations of boot options. It happens as well with the latest Debian (Lenny?). On the other hand, I can boot some other LiveCDs just fine (such as DSL). Any thoughts?
[22:25] <snoopcat> and then what?
[22:25] <Bulzor> Ok Reformer 81
[22:25] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: remove icedtea-gcjwebplugin it conflicts with Java running properly.
[22:25] <snoopcat> ok will do
[22:25] <cafree> Fryguy--, just like the atmosphere, eh?
[22:25] <Fryguy--> cafree: sure
[22:25] <icenate001> my friend is having trouble with CounterStrike:Source it is really laggy for him when he connects to a game using wine.. and on mine it doesnt lag one bit and my computer is much older than his
[22:25] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: then close and reopen FF3 and see if that helps
[22:26] <cafree> Fryguy--, to each his own, I suppose
[22:26] <snoopcat> ok
[22:26] <crater_fan> dew, none of these worked. gl, gl2, x11, xv
[22:26] <Fryguy--> cafree: the contents of /media is autogenerated and used on the fly, so if you put a disc in it should just work.  if you really need to you can just recreate /media/cdrom or whatever.  they are just directories
[22:26] <perlsyntax> what lib to i need to catch wireless packet?
[22:27] <dew> crater_fan: harsh, what gfx hardware do you have?
[22:27] <perlsyntax> is it pcap
[22:27] <Fryguy--> cafree: hald is what is responsible for it
[22:27] <Fryguy--> perlsyntax: yes
[22:27] <snoopcat> there is no iced tea on my system
[22:27] <snoopcat> lol...
[22:27] <crater_fan> dew, I think ATI X1400.
[22:28] <Ace2016> Hi all
[22:28] <Manger> ok.. I have a creative WebCam Notebook Ultra. trying to get it to work.  I think the owner tried some things, as the webcam should have been supported out of the box.  When I try to run camorama or gqcam gives an error and says that the /dev/video0 cannot be found.  lsusb shows it fine, modprobed gspca(the module responsible for the driver for the camera) and still same thing.  I'm thinking I have to symlink something somewhere but I have no idea.  Can anyon
[22:28] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: good because you don't want Icedtea
[22:28] <perlsyntax> fryguy, that what it call on ubuntu?
[22:28] <snoopcat> alrighty
[22:28] <dew> crater_fan: did you install some driver for it? a restricted driver?
[22:28] <Fryguy--> perlsyntax: no idea, apt-cache search should be able to help you find the right library.  probably libpcap
[22:28] <snoopcat> so, is there a code that goes in terminal for hypercam?
[22:28] <saba> someone can help me with a SWF playing problem in Ubuntu??
[22:28] <Ace2016> where can i get flash 10 beta 2 for ubuntu?
[22:28] <Fryguy--> !ask | saba
[22:28] <unop> perlsyntax, pcap (or libpcap) is the library - you probably need something like wireshark or pcaputils to actually interface with the library
[22:28] <dew> crater_fan: in the system menu somewhere there's a thing that'll do it for you
[22:28] <Hilikus> hey guys, im trying to install the nvidia binary driver, im using kernel 2.6.24-19-server. im using envying but i get this error Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.24-19-server (i686)
[22:28] <Hilikus> Consult the make.log in the build directory
[22:28] <crater_fan> dew, I think so. I did install when I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04
[22:28] <Ace2016> i mean there is an rpm but no deb
[22:29] <dew> crater_fan: well, check ;)
[22:29] <dew> crater_fan: i gotta go, but good luck ;)
[22:29] <hyphenated> Manger: best bet is to search the forum with the id number you get from lsusb
[22:29] <crater_fan> dew, okay. Thanks for the help.
[22:29] <dew> crater_fan: if you still have trouble, investigate EnvyNG
[22:29] <Fryguy--> Hilikus: so pastebin the make.log
[22:29] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: according to http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5266&iTestingId=11957 hypercam may work well under Wine
[22:29] <Hilikus> any ideas? the log says /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/173.14.05/build/nv.c:2024: error: implicit declaration of function ‘HYPERVISOR_memory_op’
[22:29] <crater_fan> dew, okay.
[22:29] <perlsyntax> i think i have libpcap
[22:29] <hyphenated> Manger: or if you're lazy, google "ubuntu xxxx:xxxx"
[22:29] <perlsyntax> :)
[22:29] <Hilikus> Fryguy-- you want to see the whole log?
[22:30] <saba> i tried installing all of SWF player (gnash and flashplayer_nonfree) and both stops working in a day or two..
[22:30] <mithraic> A (simple?) Compiz question: How do the settings for fixed viewports in the "Place Windows" plugin work? I tried entering "X Viewport Positions" and "Y Viewport Positions" of (2,1) to specify the top row, second column, to no apparent effect.
[22:30] <Manger> k
[22:30] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: if you can't make it work under Wine, then I suggest finding some other type of Cam software that does run in linux and using it
[22:30] <icenate001> are there any emulators for windows out there other than wine and cedega that would work for Counter strike source
[22:30] <icenate001> i mean work better for cs:source
[22:30] <mithraic> I'm pretty sure my window selector works fine, since I can enter in (e.g.) the Sticky window rules.
[22:30] <Fryguy--> Hilikus: this looks pretty helpful http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=Fmu&q=nvidia+compile+error++error%3A+implicit+declaration+of+function+HYPERVISOR_memory_op&btnG=Search
[22:30] <molgrum> icenate001: wine is not an emulator
[22:30] <unop> icenate001, wine and cedega are not emulators
[22:31] <Fryguy--> icenate001: wine isn't 'an emulator, and no
[22:31] <icenate001> oh then what is wine considered
[22:31] <Fryguy--> icenate001: a compatibility layer
[22:31] <SuchtKeks> i prefer beer
[22:31] <Hilikus> Fryguy-- yep, read all of them already and nothing
[22:31] <unop> icenate001, an implementation of the win32 API
[22:31] <Bulzor> what's the difference between wine and wineX ?
[22:31] <hyphenated> icenate001: silly semantics :-)
[22:33] <molgrum> Bulzor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winex
[22:33] <unop> icenate001,  crossover  might help - not sure how well it works for games
[22:33] <nibsa1242b> icenate001: have you tried these directions http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Steam ?
[22:33] <Qubed> alright, so I'm in the appearances thing, and under visual effects there's none normal and extra....what are the differences? also when my firefox was failing, it was set to none
[22:33] <w30> will wine unzip windows zipped with an .exe extension?
[22:34] <Fryguy--> w30: yes
[22:34] <w30> Fryguy--, thanks
[22:34] <hyphenated> w30: even 'unzip' should work on executable zip files
[22:34] <unop> w30, you could use unzip or cabextract to do that without the need for wine
[22:34] <WalloO> w30, yes
[22:35] <w30> wondeful
[22:35] <dr_Willis> in theory at least. :)
[22:35] <iplaythisgame> mouse keys keeps enabling, anyway to remove the option?
[22:35] <w30> wonderful/wonderfull
[22:35] <Fryguy--> w30: right the first time :)
[22:35] <dr_Willis> w30,  i imagine i could find a self extracting exe thats not using zip compression.
[22:36] <renoboy> can anyone here help me with YDL
[22:36] <Fryguy--> !ask | renoboy
[22:36] <w30> Fryguy--, never had phonecis in school; feels handicapped
[22:36] <w30> ha
[22:37] <renoboy> need help installing YDL 6.0 on my PS3
[22:37] <Fryguy--> ubottu: botsnack
[22:38] <dr_Willis> YDL = Yellow Dog Linux? what does that have to do with Ubuntu?
[22:38] <renoboy> need help installing ubuntu on my ps3
[22:38] <Fryguy--> renoboy: ask a specific question, or be ignored, your choice
[22:38] <hyphenated> renoboy:you might have more luck in #yellowdog ..
[22:38] <renoboy> sorry i meant ubuntu
[22:38] <tripps> anyone know if I should recompile wine from source (installed 1.0 from source with directx.c 3d patch) after using envyng to upgrade my vid drivers?
[22:38] <nando> is there a terminal comand i can type in to get cairo dock?
[22:38] <Fryguy--> tripps: no
[22:39] <tripps> Fryguy--, ok cool thanks!
[22:39] <tomd123> nando, probably, I don't use cairo though
[22:39] <Fryguy--> nando: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock
[22:39] <ShePoLo> 051905
[22:39]  * ShePoLo seLam
[22:39] <dr_Willis> renoboy,  what specifically do you need help on? PS3 users in here are rather rare.   You have read the info at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3   ?
[22:40] <nando> #cairo-dock-en
[22:40] <w30> nando, start cario with gui then ps aux to find what the command is
[22:40] <renoboy> i need the steps on how to get ubuntu working on my ps3
[22:40] <Fryguy--> renoboy: check this out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3
[22:40] <iplaythisgame> once install the command to start is cairo-dock
[22:41] <dr_Willis> renoboy,  thers guides for it -- also see http://psubuntu.com/
[22:41] <SliMM> hello
[22:41] <Fryguy--> hi SliMM
[22:41] <SliMM> Fryguy--: oh, hello again :P
[22:41] <bzaks> what packages are necessary to set up vmware-server on a 32 bit machine?
[22:41] <bzaks> I keep getting compile errors
[22:41] <iplaythisgame> nando: i had a cairo-dock version in my repos
[22:41] <Fryguy--> bzaks: link to compile errors (or just use virtualbox, which is easier to use)
[22:42] <iplaythisgame> apt-get install cairo-dock
[22:42] <SliMM> Fryguy--: do you have some advice regarding users and groups on a(n) (ubuntu) server?
[22:42] <Fryguy--> SliMM: that's pretty vague
[22:42] <icenate001> my mic is not working its a standard mic jack but everytime i use sound recorder it says configure it in multimedia settings is that under System ->preferences ->sound since i says nothing about a mic
[22:42] <bzaks> will virtualbox read an existing vm from vmware?
[22:42] <dekosx> i bought a sunbeamtech 20 in 1 card reader/controller panel and i cant get ubuntu to read it
[22:42] <saya> zô
[22:42] <Fryguy--> bzaks: unsure
[22:42] <dr_Willis> dekosx,  does it plug in to the usb port? or what exactly?
[22:43] <SliMM> Fryguy--: well, i have a svn repo, a webserver, a ssh (set up with rsa authentication :P)
[22:43] <dekosx> dr_Willis it plugs into a header on the motherboard
[22:43] <oldenglis1> I've got a sound problem. I can get sound from web pages (Pandora, etc.) but when I try to play a video file in VLC, an audio file in Rhythmbox or anything like that I get no sound.
[22:44] <SliMM> Fryguy--: I only want 4 users to be able to access the svn repository and the webserver
[22:44] <dr_Willis> dekosx,  the usb header? or some other special connector?
[22:44] <unop> dekosx, it probably is connected upto the USB bus then -- try this to see if it is listed.   sudo lsusb -v
[22:44] <Fryguy--> SliMM: svnserve has integrated authentication, and so does the webserver
[22:45] <Bulzor> Does anyone know why when I shutdown amarok and start it again it cant find the songs in the playlist anymore it says Local File Does Not Exist
[22:45] <ctx144k> hello all. is there a way to get ubuntu-server 8.04 (not version 8.04.1)?
[22:45] <Fryguy--> SliMM: not an issue of filesystem access
[22:45] <SliMM> Fryguy--: i don't really know how to set up my folders and permissions
[22:45] <nando> whats a shell?
[22:45] <dr_Willis> !shell | nando
[22:45] <SliMM> Fryguy--: what about the web server?
[22:45] <Tux2K8> hello
[22:45] <Fryguy--> nando: a command line application that manages the running of applications
[22:45] <Tux2K8> how do I add these : ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            udp dpt:4672
[22:45] <Tux2K8> ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:4662
[22:45] <Tux2K8> to iptables?
[22:45] <Fryguy--> SliMM: like i said, it manages permissions too, if you are using apache check out .htaccess
[22:45] <dr_Willis> nando,  terminal=shell=command line = cli = other names also. :)
[22:45] <SliMM> Fryguy--: ok, thanks
[22:46] <unop> errm, a terminal isn't the same as a shell  (being pedantic)  :)
[22:46] <Fryguy--> Tux2K8: iptables in ubuntu is set to accept everything by default
[22:46] <craigbass1976> is there a wa y without wine to get IE 6 and 7 on hardy?
[22:46] <Fryguy--> Tux2K8: if you want an interface for managing iptables, try firestarter
[22:46] <Fryguy--> craigbass1976: no
[22:46] <unop> craigbass1976, i don't think so
[22:46] <craigbass1976> bah
[22:46] <Fryguy--> craigbass1976: you could install virtualization software and install another copy of windows virtually
[22:46] <Madassasin> !nvidia
[22:46] <unop> craigbass1976, you could use something like crossover office (which is a wine offshoot)
[22:46] <mariachiac> ubuntu installtoin completes with alternate installation cd. However, when rebooting, it shows the ubuntu loading screen, then screen goes black. What's the issue?
[22:47] <craigbass1976> no no... no virtual windows
[22:47] <craigbass1976> ok. just checking
[22:47] <unop> craigbass1976, what is wrong with wine anyway?
[22:47] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: poor detection of your graphics card.  Change your drive in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "vesa" so you can actually get the machine to come up with a gui, and then identify what video card you use, and the driver necessary for it, install the driver and be on your way
[22:47] <WalloO> craigbass1976, try reactos... maybe it can work... but in a VM
[22:48] <Tux2K8> Fryguy--:  if so , why my KAD is always firewalled in amule? (amule is in high ID)
[22:48] <craigbass1976> Just don't want it.  the only thing I'd need is IE, and I read somewhere there was a way to do it, but didn't see a reference to hardy in the docs
[22:48] <icenate001> hmm i think i found out part 1 of my sound problems the speaker wasnt pluged in... :(
[22:48] <Fryguy--> craigbass1976: you can't run internet explorer without wine. period
[22:48] <dekosx> unop http://pastebin.com/m358874e7 is the output, i cant find it on there
[22:49] <mariachiac> Friguy- can you please tell me how to accomplish this in private message?
[22:49] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: ctrl-alt-f1, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, scroll down to your video device, change driver to vesa
[22:49] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: then sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[22:49] <mtx1> anyone know what would cause a black screen right after gdm loads im guessing, it happens on live cd and my installation on hd. i have been using ubuntu for 3 years now and never this problem,
[22:49] <w30> craigbass1976, there is a package called ie4lin or some such name that installs ie 6 and a wine version specially for ie 6
[22:50] <engineer> hi, i'm trying to format a pen drive but fdisk keeps telling me unable to write to partition table

[22:51] <Madassasin> I'm having problems with the Nvidia binary driver. The screen goes empty after the log-in, I only see an orange background and the mouse cursor. Any ideas, please?
[22:51] <unop> dekosx, you probably will find that if you plugged in a memory stick or something else in your reader, linux'll pick it up
[22:51] <humberto_> engoneer umount pen drive
[22:51] <Fryguy--> Madassasin: if you create a new user account with adduser, does that account exhibit the same behavior
[22:51] <unop> dekosx, memory card*
[22:51] <dekosx> unop ive tried, it doesnt work
[22:51] <vierranet> yes unmount pen drive
[22:51] <humberto_> and use gparted
[22:52] <Madassasin> Fryguy--, will try
[22:52] <notclive> craigbass1976: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page this is what your thinking about, it requires wine though
[22:52] <engineer> humberto_ the pen drive is not mounted
[22:52] <mtx1> anyone know what would cause a black screen right after gdm loads im guessing, it happens on live cd and my installation on hd. i have been using ubuntu for 3 years now and never this problem, i left on vactation and came back to black screen on boot, i have tried fsck all drives with no problems??? please help
[22:52] <humberto_> sure?
[22:52] <vierranet> ok use gprted
[22:52] <humberto_> check whit gparted
[22:53] <dekosx> unop ive got an AsRock motherboard with one of their proprietary wifi headers, which doubles as a 4pin usb header, which is what ive hooked this up to
[22:53] <unop> dekosx, unplug whatever you have plugged in on the reader -- open up a terminal and issue this command.  sudo tail -f /var/log/dmesg # and then plug something into the reader -- if all goes well, you should see some activitity in the terminal
[22:53] <Jane_ux> how can I lock the position of the desktop icons in ubuntu-gnome???
[22:53] <vierranet> if you dont have gparted just sudo it
[22:53] <humberto_> sudo apt-get install gparted

[22:55] <Jane_ux> anyway to lock the position of the desktop icons in ubuntu-gnome or the whole desktop, I av been searchin this for months :(
[22:55] <jorisslob> I have trouble getting my clock (2.22.2) on the panel to display the correct time. I am on a dual boot machine, so I changed the etc/default/rsC file so it uses the internal clock as local time, but the panel display doesn't seem to listen to that. `date` in console gives the correct time. How can I convince clock application of this setting?
[22:55] <unop> dekosx, strange, might be something to do with the wireless device as you said -- you could try chasing this up in ##hardware and/or #debian
[22:56] <BlakStone> What's a good image dupliate finder that shows a side-by-side compare?
[22:56] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> Fryguy--, i have done that what do i do when in that window do i say yes or no ?
[22:56] <unop> BlakStone, fdupes and gthumb
[22:56] <BlakStone> i left for like a couple hours and the answer someone gave me is gone out of buffer :(
[22:56] <humberto_> engineer try whit umount /media/pendrive
[22:56] <Fryguy--> DroP-PsyChoSiS: no idea
[22:56] <BlakStone> gthumb eh
[22:56] <drixomanbeta> okay i am back and installed sp2
[22:56] <unop> BlakStone, yea, should be installed by default
[22:56] <engineer> humberto_ the pen doesn't show up there
[22:57] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: service pack 2 is a windows product, how does it relate to ubuntu for you ?
[22:57] <BlakStone> fdupes is commandline isn't it?
[22:57] <drixomanbeta> anyidea how to dual boot ubuntu so i don't get a xp unmountable error..
[22:57] <jorisslob> Guides and helpfiles say that the clock should have a preference option to turn UTC off, but it doesn't
[22:57] <BlakStone> I want something that can do side-by-side and show me the pics so i can make sure they re dupes
[22:57] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: so now install ubuntu
[22:57] <unop> BlakStone, indeed
[22:57] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: to dual boot ubuntu you need to install ubuntu post wndows XP, ubuntu should handle it all for you
[22:58] <K915> wow
[22:58] <drixomanbeta> previously i did that but i got a BSOD xp unmountable erroe
[22:58] <Madassasin> Fryguy--, The new users has the same problem
[22:58] <Madassasin> *user
[22:58] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: and now you have sp2 installed, so it probably won't be an issue
[22:58] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: thats not a window or ubuntu error, can you be more specific
[22:58] <Fryguy--> Madassasin: no idea
[22:58] <kramer3d> hi, how well does ndiswrapper work vs the wireless drivers that come with ubuntu 8.04?
[22:58] <Reaper> Can you set a color blink on a chan msg with Xchat?
[22:59] <Fryguy--> ikonia: he's already been helped, he's just being stubborn
[22:59] <Reaper> You can never know when there's something written on another chans.
[22:59] <ikonia> Fryguy--: I see
[22:59] <unop> BlakStone, ok, here is something for you to consider -- if you performed a md5sum or sha1sum check on all images in a folder and you get a couple with the same checksum/hash - whats the chance that these images are not the same?
[22:59] <Reaper> With the default settings.
[22:59] <obidiah> kramer3d: it depends on your card. but in my experience, ndiswrapper is better 90% of the time
[22:59] <ikonia> Reaper: always use the native drivers if possible
[22:59] <Madassasin> Fryguy--, this also happened on opensuse 11, so how to I switch back to the nv driver?
[22:59] <kramer3d> O_O
[22:59] <kramer3d> thanks obidiah
[22:59] <obidiah> use the windows 98 driver for your card
[22:59] <Fryguy--> Madassasin: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver
[22:59] <Reaper> ikonia: how's that?
[22:59] <Madassasin> Fryguy ok
[22:59] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[22:59] <DroP-PsyChoSiS>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080705235837
[22:59] <DroP-PsyChoSiS>  after getting this error msg it didnt help :( can any1 else pls tell me how to get my xserver to be detected again?
[22:59] <drixomanbeta> previously i had no service pack on xp and i installed ubuntu and then i got a BSOD after i tried to load from Grub
[22:59] <ikonia> Reaper: if possible use the kernel based drivers
[23:00] <obidiah> kramered: use the windows 98 driver for your card
[23:00] <Reaper> Alrighat.
[23:00] <kramer3d> why dont they just make ndiswrapper the default :/
[23:00] <drixomanbeta> now i installed xp w/ sp2...so what's next..
[23:00] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: then you need to get the error, and report it back to we can assis
[23:00] <tomd123> unop: they are the same if the hashes work out, it would have to be a once in a lifetime thing if it does happen
[23:00] <Fryguy--> DroP-PsyChoSiS: it's detected fine, paste /var/log/Xorg.log or something
[23:00] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: you need to install ubuntu next
[23:00] <drixomanbeta> huh?
[23:00] <obidiah> kramer3d: it's a political thing
[23:00] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: you need to install ubuntu next
[23:00] <K915> hi all :]
[23:00] <ikonia> K915: hello
[23:00] <Fryguy--> kramer3d: because it involves the user of closed source non-linux proprietary drivers which is against the philosophy that ubuntu chose to adopt when picking packages to be available in the base system
[23:01] <obidiah> kramer3d: it's not politically correct from an open source ideology point of view
[23:01] <unop> tomd123, you should be telling BlakStone that -- not me :)
[23:01] <drixomanbeta> would it result in that BSOD again...?
[23:01] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: no
[23:01] <tomd123> unop: whoops, I mean blackstone
[23:01] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: no, and if it does get the exact error and report it back
[23:01] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: stop being stubborn and just go install
[23:01] <obidiah> kramer3d: but in practice you end up using ndiswrapper for the wireless card and the proprietary driver for video
[23:01] <drixomanbeta> okay...
[23:01] <Lyk4n> A guy is getting windows support in here, lol..
[23:01] <ikonia> Lyk4n: no he's not
[23:01] <Fryguy--> Lyk4n: no
[23:01] <lymeca> .join #rt2x00
[23:02] <tomd123> Lyk4n = fail
[23:02] <obidiah> Lyk4n: ndiswrapper allows you to use a windows .inf file to run a wireless card
[23:02] <Fryguy--> yawn i'm tired
[23:02] <Madassasin> Is anyone able to help with the nvidia proprietary driver? After I log in, all I see in a mouse cursor with an orange background 0.0. Ideas, please?
[23:03] <ikonia> Madassasin: does the problem go away if you switch to something such as nv or vesa
[23:03] <Lyk4n> I know that, I came in after he said he has just installed service pack 2 for XP and was asking for what to do next..
[23:03] <Madassasin> ikonia, yea, nv works
[23:03] <Lyk4n> Sorry if I misunderstood, that's when I came in..
[23:03] <ikonia> Madassasin: so it is driver speciic
[23:03] <Lyk4n> my mistake..
[23:03] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> Fryguy--, http://pastebin.com/m48572389
[23:03] <Madassasin> ikonia, yep, but I need that driver for hardware acceleration :(
[23:03] <ikonia> Madassasin: what driver version and what card do you have
[23:04] <Madassasin> ikonia, I'm not usre 'bout driver version, it's the latests available in the repositories (including backports and proposed), but my card is 8800GT
[23:04] <kramer3d> how do i find out what wireless card i have?
[23:04] <drixomanbeta> so now i'm at the partition screen...
[23:04] <Fryguy--> DroP-PsyChoSiS: no errors, i dont' see what the problem is, sorry
[23:04] <tomd123> kramer3d, if its pci, do lspci and find it
[23:04] <ikonia> Madassasin: have you always had this problem with the drivers
[23:04] <kramer3d> kk
[23:04] <drixomanbeta> do i create a new logical or primary partition?
[23:05] <obidiah> kramer3d: in a shell, enter the command: 'lspci -vvv'
[23:05] <jorisslob> Ok, fixed it with gconf-editor
[23:05] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: primary
[23:05] <obidiah> also do lsusb
[23:05] <Madassasin> ikonia, sorta, I had it on opensuse 11 as well and I scrapepd it for ubuntu
[23:05] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: thats up to you, partition as you see fit, but keep it as simple as possible
[23:05] <Madassasin> ikonia, but on gutsy I didn't
[23:05] <drixomanbeta> what's the mount point for the ntfs and the new partition?
[23:05] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> the prob is that it wont detect the xserver while trying to install my proprietry radeon 9200 drivers
[23:05] <ikonia> Madassasin: looks like it's worth logging a bug with nvidia then
[23:06] <ikonia> Madassasin: try the "nvidia-glx" package then, or the nvidia-glx-new, see how they behave differently
[23:06] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: new mount point should be /, leave the ntfs one default
[23:06] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: don't set that up at install
[23:06] <Madassasin> ikonia, I'll try
[23:06] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: pretty much every screen is going to be default
[23:06] <obidiah> kramer3d: once you get the pci id for your wireless card, you can google it
[23:06] <ikonia> Madassasin: just for interests sake
[23:06] <mariachiac> Fryguy-- once I've done the commands you've specified for hte video card. Will i have ot install the drivers?
[23:06] <Madassasin> ikonia, ok, rebooting
[23:06] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> Fryguy--,  http://pastebin.com/m108c1fdd
[23:06] <obidiah> kramer3d: and you can look at the list of drivers recommened at ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net
[23:06] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: what commands
[23:07] <drixomanbeta> do i need a swap space and it being primary or logical?
[23:07] <grgs_> hello ... I need your help
[23:07] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: yes you need swap, probably make it logical
[23:07] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: you can only have primay partitions of 4 or less
[23:07] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: should be able the same size as your ram
[23:07] <Fryguy--> !ask | grgs_
[23:08] <grgs_> ok
[23:08] <Fryguy--> DroP-PsyChoSiS: like i said, no idea
[23:08] <mariachiac> ctrl-alt-f1, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, scroll down to your video device, change driver to vesa _Mart_
[23:08] <mariachiac> then sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart _rp
[23:08] <Fryguy--> !fglrx | DroP-PsyChoSiS
[23:08] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: yah, no driver install needed, vesa is always there
[23:09] <mariachiac> ok
[23:09] <Bora> hello, any way to rename a new installed hard drive?
[23:09] <ikonia> Bora: what do you mean, rename ?
[23:10] <drixomanbeta> okay do i leave the boot loader option as it is ?
[23:10] <Bora> I want to have my hard drive name to be Bora on > computer
[23:10] <ikonia> Bora: change the label
[23:10] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: put it in /dev/sda
[23:10] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: leave it at default for the installer
[23:10] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: don't change anything
[23:11] <grgs_> I install gutsy ubuntu version and i have problem to HUAWEI E220 3G Modem. The problem is that there is in / dev the ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1. Any Idea?
[23:11] <drixomanbeta> what
[23:11] <opt1k> hey, what do I have to do to forward ports so i can get my torrent running?
[23:11] <Bora> where to change? i try to right-click and select rename, but it says something about backend not supported
[23:11] <drixomanbeta> i got two guy telling me differnet procedure...
[23:11] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: select the default options for the boot loader
[23:11] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: no you've not
[23:11] <Fryguy--> opt1k: ubuntu runs with a firewall rule to enable everything.  consult your router documentation for how to forward ports on your router
[23:11] <drixomanbeta> the default on my is (hd0)
[23:11] <ikonia> Bora: what file system is on it
[23:11] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: thats fine
[23:11] <drixomanbeta> is that it?
[23:12] <drixomanbeta> okay...
[23:12] <unop> BlakStone, you still here?
[23:12] <Bora> ikonia: i thing it is ex2
[23:12] <opt1k> Fryguy-- I did that, but what service name do I have to put to forward ports for torrents? www? https? i don't get it
[23:12] <Fryguy--> opt1k: the service name doesn't matter it's the port you want to forward, and all torrent clients support running on a different port
[23:13] <Fryguy--> opt1k: consult your router documentation, it's not an ubuntu problem
[23:13] <opt1k> Fryguy--: btw, where can i change the settings to ubuntu firewall, and tx for this one
[23:13] <Fryguy--> opt1k: edit iptables rules manually, if you need a gui, try firestarter
[23:13] <Gman99999> is there anyone that can tell me why the hell I can't mount my windows partition anymore it says cannot mount volume you are not priviledged enough to mount volume
[23:13] <PaulATL> Hello - I just upgraded from gutsy to hardy, and I can no longer redirect audio to my USB headset.  On gutsy, I used the asoundconf command, and it worked for most programs.  On hardy, I installed all the pulseaudio packages, but still cannot figure out how to redirect audio output to my USB headset.  How do I do it?
[23:13] <opt1k> Fryguy--: thanks
[23:13] <Gman99999> there is no fstab file to change either, the fstab is blank
[23:13] <unop> Gman99999, usually only root can mount fixed volumes
[23:13] <Bora> ikonia: please stay with me for this matter.. i first want to rename this 500G to Bora, and then make my other 500G ntfs openable to copy all to this new hard, and then format the ntfs with something else like ex2
[23:14] <Fryguy--> Gman99999: fstab can't be  blank
[23:14] <ikonia> Bora: just grabbing the command, it's something like lablext3
[23:14] <unop> Gman99999, if your /etc/fstab file is blank  -- you really ought to be worried
[23:14] <Fryguy--> Gman99999: make sure you are looking at the right file
[23:14] <Gman99999> how do i access it properly?
[23:14] <Fryguy--> Gman99999: gksu gedit /etc/fstab
[23:14] <ricardo_> Hey there everybody... How do I enable num lock automatically at boot? I'm on Kubuntu Hardy, and supposedly numlockx isn't an option on KDE. Thanks.
[23:14] <unop> Gman99999, define access actually - read or write?
[23:15] <Gman99999> read
[23:15] <Fryguy--> Gman99999: sudo cat /etc/fstab
[23:15] <unop> Gman99999, less /etc/fstab
[23:15] <Gman99999> ok i have an fstab
[23:15] <unop> Fryguy--, unnecessary use of sudo there
[23:15] <Fryguy--> unop: yes
[23:15] <Bora> ikonia: what is lablext3 how to access it? is it a command?
[23:15] <ikonia> Bora: thats not the command, it's like that, I can't remember the correct command name, I'm just searching
[23:16] <hudorus> exit
[23:16] <hudorus> quit
[23:16] <[swb]> xchat, true transparency, I found a patch that is quite old on the net, anyone know why its not in the default packages?
[23:16] <ikonia> Bora: you could always do it within gparted
[23:16] <Gman99999> unop I have a bunch of stuff in the fstab what do i write in there to make it so that it can be like it used to be abd i can read my windows partition?
[23:16] <ganesh> hi everybody
[23:16] <grgs_>  I install gutsy ubuntu version and i have problem to HUAWEI E220 3G Modem. The problem is that there is in / dev the ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1. Any Idea?
[23:16] <Fryguy--> [swb]: no idea, find the email of the package maintainer and inform them
[23:16] <Gman99999> unop this seems to break after every few updates
[23:16] <Bora> gparted did the format and select file type, but can't rename the label to something i want
[23:16] <Niceguy1012> Yo
[23:16] <ikonia> Bora: why not
[23:16] <[swb]> Fryguy--, how do I find that?
[23:17] <unop> Gman99999, if you want normal users to be able to mount it, you'll need to add a  'user' option to the mount-point -- but your windows partition ought to mount automatically if it has an entry in the /etc/fstab
[23:17] <Bulzor> is it hard to make the desktop look like a kube if you know what I mean
[23:17] <Fryguy--> [swb]: apt-cache show xchat or something.  i have no idea
[23:17] <grgs_> thanks
[23:17] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: install compizconfig-settings-manager and configure compmiz however you want (including the cube)
[23:17] <Gman99999> unop I'll pm you what's in the file
[23:17] <Bora> ikonia: i don't know, it's a brand new hard it was and i was able to format it using ext3 but don't know how to label it something i want? how?
[23:17] <gcarrillo> is there a keyboard shortcut for dropping down the main menu?
[23:17] <[swb]> Fryguy--, cheers
[23:17] <PaulATL> Hello - can anyone help me with pulseaudio on hardy?  I want to be able to switch my default audio output between my speakers and my USB headset.  I can't seem to make it work.
[23:18] <unop> Gman99999,  you might be interested in the pmount command.   pmount-hal /dev/sdXX  # should mount the device without the need for sudo
[23:18] <unop> Gman99999, i don't take PMs -- please use a !pastebin
[23:18] <Bulzor> Ok thx alot Fryguy
[23:18] <Gman99999> unop jeez so much work
[23:18] <tripps> ok I used envyng to get latest drivers. I rebooted and sitting at 640x480. Screen resolution under Admin menu is useless (seems completely different from gutsy, where it let you select display driver, etc.). I'm using hardy heron. Please help me get my desktop back
[23:18] <gcarrillo> hehe
[23:19] <unop> Gman99999, it's also so that other people can contribute - we have no exclusivity in here
[23:19] <Gman99999> ok
[23:19] <ikonia> Bora: open gparted, then use the option "set disk label" under partition
[23:19] <Fryguy--> !pm | Gman99999
[23:19] <Bora> i did that and now?
[23:19] <Bulzor> yeah I installed  compizconfig-settings-manager but where does it normally go after the installation?
[23:20] <ricardo_> How do I enable num lock automatically at boot? I'm on Kubuntu Hardy, and supposedly numlockx isn't an option on KDE. Thanks.
[23:20] <ikonia> Bora: now the disk label lhas changed
[23:20] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: system appearance menu
[23:20] <Gman99999> http://pastebin.com/m719923c1
[23:20] <ikonia> !numlock | ricardo_
[23:20] <Bulzor> thx
[23:20] <Fryguy--> there will be a customize button for desktop efects
[23:20] <Gman99999> There's my pastebin file
[23:20] <Bora> ikonia: but it says unalocated>>>>
[23:20] <ikonia> Bora: thats disk space....unalocated
[23:20] <ricardo_> Thank you!
[23:21] <Fryguy--> Gman99999: on the last line, right after defaults, make it say "defaults,user,locale=en_US.UTF-8"
[23:21] <billy12> when i add mtu 1500 to /etc/network/interfaces it still comes up as MTU 576
[23:21] <tripps> how do I select my display driver, change screen resolution, etc. under hardy heron?
[23:21] <unop> Gman99999, does the volume not mount on startup??
[23:21] <Fryguy--> billy12: did you restart the interface after changing
[23:22] <Bora> ikonia: ok, i selected msdos? is it ok? and now format it to what? and how to rename the hard to Bora so it appears on my computer as Bora?
[23:22] <ikonia> Bora: what ?
[23:22] <billy12> Fryguy--, yes
[23:22] <ikonia> Bora: I think that maybe the wrong option
[23:22] <arhlo> hi..
[23:22] <ikonia> you wanted to change the name - not the partition type
[23:22] <gcarrillo> cool, i figured it and changed it to the meta key
[23:22] <gcarrillo> wesside
[23:23] <arhlo> can anybody here help me setting up wlan on ubuntu..
[23:23] <Fryguy--> !ask | arhlo
[23:23] <arhlo> im using bcm4310(ver 0)
[23:23] <arhlo> ubottu : thanks
[23:23] <SliMM> Fryguy--: /var/svn is ok for the repository?
[23:23] <Fryguy--> SliMM: sure
[23:23] <billy12> Fryguy--, and if i set it up like ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500 the connections drops and it sets some random IP
[23:24] <Fryguy--> billy12: are you using ppope?
[23:24] <Bora> ikonia: ohhh.... ok, i have a few options to select which one: "msdos" "ambiga" "bsd" "gpt" "dvh" and a few more.................. which one is correct?
[23:24] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps:  have you tried the system menu?
[23:24] <ikonia> SliMM: FHS suggests /srv
[23:24] <arhlo> im go tproblem setting up bcm4310(ver 0).. can anybody help..
[23:24] <ikonia> Bora: do you want to change the partition type/disk label, or the disk name ?
[23:24] <billy12> Fryguy--, no, i dont think so
[23:24] <arhlo> alredy google.. but dont work.
[23:24] <Fryguy--> arhlo: as the bot already told you, as a more specific question
[23:24] <Bulzor> where in appearance can i chose the kube?
[23:24] <SliMM> ikonia: FHS?
[23:24] <SoberIrish> Hello All,I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem I had when I was using Heron
[23:24] <ikonia> SliMM: file system "standard"
[23:24] <DigitallyCrazy> i mean...
[23:24] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: it's called "cube" lol
[23:24] <PaulATL> arhlo: I need to go get my laptop, but I think I can help you... brb
[23:24] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, yes. It is a useless dialog box that doesn't show me display drivers or anything. totally different from gutsy as far as I can tell
[23:25] <arhlo> im using hardy heron
[23:25] <billy12> Fryguy--, it goes to a cable modem
[23:25] <SliMM> ikonia: may I ask why?
[23:25] <Bulzor> cube then :P
[23:25] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: if i remember right it's like 3rd row down 2nd from the left
[23:25] <gcarrillo> is there a package i can download to get the stock gnome desktop backgrounds?
[23:25] <Bulzor> nice memory there :)
[23:25] <ikonia> SliMM: /srv for all "server" related content
[23:25] <Bulzor> if it's right :P
[23:25] <vierranet> Making wireless work in Ubuntu http://www.linux.com/feature/56946
[23:25] <Bora> ikonia: i guess now both.... because i had on msdos, but you thing that is a wrong option so which one is correct since this is a new hard drive never used before..
[23:25] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: i haven't looked at the interface in about a year so i dunno
[23:25] <ikonia> SliMM: eg: /srv/mysql /srv/www etc
[23:25] <SliMM> ikonia: what about www?
[23:25] <SliMM> oh
[23:25] <ikonia> Bora: ms dos is fine
[23:25] <arhlo> already follow frm this stephttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560.. but it seem can work..
[23:25] <Killer--Tux> hey guys where can i find some good info in hacking
[23:25] <SliMM> ikonia: what about /var?
[23:25] <ikonia> Bora: you want to change the disk label,
[23:25] <Fryguy--> SliMM: /src is just a convention, you an put things whever you want, and /var is another suitable location for it
[23:25] <ikonia> SliMM: what about it ?
[23:26] <gcarrillo> nm...gnome-backgrounds
[23:26] <unop> Killer--Tux, #hacking probably
[23:26] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps:  I'll be back, let me switch to linux
[23:26] <ikonia> SliMM: there is nothing "wrong" with using /var, you asked for opinions and I'm informing you that FHS suggests /srv
[23:26] <CSills> anybody good with Pro-ftpc
[23:26] <SliMM> ikonia: why is it more common than /srv
[23:26] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, ok thanks
[23:26] <CSills> pro-ftpd
[23:26] <ikonia> SliMM: it's not more common
[23:26] <Bora> ikonia: ok... but is desklable also means the name of the hard to appear on my computer or is related to something else?
[23:26] <sway> How can I get Gedit (text editor) to have C++ Syntax Highlighting? anyone know?
[23:26] <Fryguy--> !ask | CSills
[23:26] <SliMM> ikonia: well.. it may not be, but it's the only I've seen
[23:26] <Bulzor> damn i cant find that cube :S
[23:26] <Fryguy--> CSills: #proftpd
[23:27] <CSills> sorry
[23:27] <ikonia> Bora: the disk label is the partition type, the label of the disk is the name
[23:27] <SliMM> ikonia: anyway, I'll keep /srv in mind
[23:27] <ikonia> SliMM: thats fine, it's all personal preference
[23:27] <SliMM> ikonia: thanks
[23:27] <unop> sway, have you looked in gedit's documentation?
[23:27] <ikonia> SliMM: there is no right/wrong
[23:27] <CSills> I am having difficulty getting anonymous logon to work with pro-ftpd
[23:27] <Fryguy--> ikonia: does any *nix default to /src?
[23:27] <sway> Yeah, ive even followed some of the directions and some of the stuff was just flat out not there
[23:27] <Fryguy-->  /srv
[23:27] <Bora> ikonia: then i need the " label of the disk is the name" part... how to change that?
[23:27] <PaulATL> arhlo: I had a similar problem with my bcm4328, and this post helped me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779754
[23:27] <Fryguy--> CSills: #proftpd
[23:27] <ikonia> Fryguy--: some things yes/others no
[23:27] <SliMM> ikonia: it is, but I am rather meticulous when it comes to file trees
[23:28] <ikonia> Bora: why do you "need" that,
[23:28] <drpcken> hey i'm trying to disable the little eraser head mouse cursor mover on my laptop, i tried commenting out the inputs on the xorg.conf but it didn't work
[23:28] <CSills> thanks
[23:28] <ikonia> Bora: I'm trying to find the right command for you for that, its ext2label or something like that
[23:28] <Gman99999> fryguy-- I changed it to defaults,g,locale=en_US.UTF-8 is that correct or did it have to be just user, I changed it to g because its the user name
[23:28] <arhlo> i have difficulties setting up bcm4310(ver 0), can anyone help...
[23:28] <Fryguy--> Gman99999: it's user, not g
[23:28] <Bora> ikonia: please find it for me... i will appreciate it...
[23:28] <Gman99999> unop it used to, but now it doesnt even give me a choice to mount it at any point with entering the password
[23:29] <PaulATL> arhlo: I think the forum post I just gave you applies to bcm4310 as well as my bcm4328
[23:29] <ikonia> Bora: why do you "need" to change the disk label ?
[23:29] <SliMM> ikonia: and I sometimes end up moving a lot of things around because I believe it would be better
[23:29] <ikonia> Bora: the disk name is just a name - nothing more
[23:29] <ikonia> SliMM: thats part of the learning experience
[23:29] <Bora> ikonia: now don't need to change the disk lable...
[23:29] <Gman99999> Fryguy-- it says i still can't mount it even after i changed that
[23:29] <unop> Gman99999, there might be problems with the volume and ntfs-3g is refusing to mount it because of that -- what really happens when you try and mount it manually?
[23:29] <Fryguy--> i wonder why freebsd doesn't follow fhs for that
[23:29] <Sample> does anyone know why my gnome sometimes hangs during loading. i get the login screen, and when i enter my user\pass it loads an empty orange screen with a grey rectangle in the upper left part of the screen. when i cross over it with a mouse, it changes to a text-selection cursor. and i can do nothing from there. any ideas?
[23:30] <SliMM> Fryguy--: so, if I have ssh set up to use only public/private key authorisation, is it ok to let the users in the sudo group?
[23:30] <Fryguy--> Gman99999: ls -l /media and pastebin results
[23:30] <Bora> ikonia: but just need to change the name lable of the hard drive to appear on my computer
[23:30] <SliMM> ikonia: it is indeed
[23:30] <Fryguy--> SliMM: ?
[23:30] <Gman99999> unop i usually don't mount i manually, i usually don't like having to deal with extremely mental commands
[23:30] <ikonia> Bora: ok - so you don't "need" to
[23:31] <Gman99999> unop how do i mount it manually everytime i ask this question i get a different answer
[23:31] <unop> Gman99999, I know and really thats not the point -- i'm asking you to test whether the volume is actually in a mountable state
[23:31] <SliMM> Fryguy--: is it safe to let the users that can be accessed via ssh use "sudo"?
[23:31] <Bora> ikonia: yes i need to change the name label!!!!!!!
[23:31] <ikonia> Bora: why ?
[23:31] <ikonia> Bora: why do you "need" to
[23:31] <Fryguy--> SliMM: sure
[23:31] <ikonia> Bora: the disk label does not effect anything
[23:31] <unop> Gman99999,   sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdXX /path/to/mount_point
[23:31] <Gman99999> unop ok i just find it weird that i get a different answer from every person i've asked about mounting a hard drive
[23:32] <Bora> ikonia: come on, to know the diferences between my other hards...
[23:32] <SliMM> Fryguy--: I don't really like this sudo thing, su seems better to me
[23:32] <Fryguy--> Gman99999: people do it different ways
[23:32] <Fryguy--> SliMM: so then use su
[23:32] <unop> Gman99999, everyone's just looking at the problem in different ways
[23:32] <ikonia> Bora: they are not all called the same
[23:32] <Gman99999> what is the path to the mount point?
[23:33] <unop> Gman99999, also, there is usually more than one way to get from A to B  on *nix
[23:33] <Bora> ikonia: i know, but are you telling me that i don't have the freedom to name my disks the way i want them?
[23:33] <ikonia> Bora: no, I'm not telling you anything
[23:33] <unop> Gman99999, any thing you like -- just make sure that directory exists first
[23:33] <ikonia> Bora: but in that case - why am I looking for the command for you
[23:33] <SliMM> Fryguy--: the only reason I see for using sudo is that a user could change the root password and su wouldn't work anymore :-?
[23:33] <ikonia> Bora: look for yourself
[23:33] <unop> Gman99999, example.  /media/windows
[23:33] <Bora> ikonia: ok...  thanks....
[23:34] <Fryguy--> SliMM: and it promotes using root for single commands instead of staying in a root shell and accidentally blowing up your system
[23:34] <Gman99999> can i make up any name for it
[23:34] <hiptobecubic> what is the command in the terminal for displaying system information? Such as kernel version, ubuntu version, etc?
[23:34] <Fryguy--> unop: he already has an fstab entry: http://pastebin.com/m719923c1
[23:34] <Gman99999> unop this is where things are confusing, I don't know what to call it, if it needs a specific name or what
[23:34] <SliMM> Fryguy--: I'll think of this harder
[23:34] <unop> Gman99999, you can indeed - but you need to have an empty directory by that name
[23:34] <jftsang> Hello
[23:34] <Fryguy--> hiptobecubic: uname -r for kernel version
[23:34] <hiptobecubic> Fryguy--, ok thakns
[23:34] <hiptobecubic> thanks*
[23:35] <jftsang> on single user mode, is there any way to run multiple things at the same time
[23:35] <unop> Gman99999,   sheesh ..    sudo mkdir -p /media/windows; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdXX /media/windows
[23:35] <tripps> how do I select my display driver, change screen resolution, etc. under hardy heron? Sysem -> Administration -> Screen Resolution no longer seems to have any of the information/capabilities it used to in gutsy
[23:35] <jftsang> like the tabs on gnome-terminal
[23:35] <_PaulATL_> arhlo: please also look at this URL: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#head-d8ce0e35a4ccdbeddd6cf36f9cb23a11d8e0e9dc
[23:35] <SliMM> ha! what a pretty SD car icon!
[23:35] <unop> Fryguy--, i'm not even going to bother converting that mount point into something readable :)
[23:35] <Fryguy--> jftsang: append & to commands to put them into the backround, ctrl-z an already running command to suspend it, us bg to put it into the background, fg to bring it back to the foreground, jobs to see a list of jobs running in the current shell
[23:36] <jftsang> does the & go before the command or after it?
[23:36] <unop> after
[23:36] <jftsang> so application&
[23:36] <unop> yes
[23:36] <Fryguy--> unop: it's Windows(hard drive) in ascii
[23:36] <jftsang> thanks
[23:36] <SliMM> how can I turn the touchpad off when I have a mouse plugged into a usb port?

[23:36] <SliMM> automatically
[23:36] <unop> Gman99999, right, thats your problem
[23:36] <Gman99999> unop i see
[23:36] <unop> Gman99999, it seems you didn't shutdown windows properly the last time you used it
[23:37] <Gman99999> unop a reboot is in order
[23:37] <unop> Gman99999, indeed -- and a chkdsk too (in windows)
[23:37] <Fryguy--> -f
[23:37] <Gman99999> unop someone else has been using the computer
[23:37] <_PaulATL_> arhlo: basically, to get wireless working on my laptop under hardy, I had to use NDisWrapper
[23:37] <Gman99999> unop ok I'm going to reboot see you later
[23:37] <PaulATL> arhlo: please don't PM me - please use the main channel
[23:37] <unop> Gman99999, you can also use ntfsfix on linux if you dont want to boot up into windows -- but i recommend windows
[23:37] <BaD_CrC_> sudo umount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/windows -o force
[23:37] <meww> needed little help with vista and ubuntu networking
[23:37] <Fryguy--> lol @ blaming ubuntu for somebody else using your computer and not using windows properly.  haha, and with that i'm going to go get some food
[23:38] <unop> BaD_CrC_, umount ??
[23:38] <BaD_CrC_> i was typing too fasy
[23:38] <BaD_CrC_> sorry
[23:38] <unop> BaD_CrC_, and not a good idea to force -- especially with ntfs :)

[23:44] <Twilight> brings back memories
[23:45] <ApenasEu> any1? how do i install an ap from a .run.gz file?...
[23:45] <unop> pal, open up the gconf-editor  -- navigate to /apps/nautilus/preferences  and uncheck "show desktop"
[23:45] <JanWinnicki> how do i create a launcher for sth like "sudo eject /dev/sdb1" without having to type in the password every time?
[23:45] <ammar> ciao
[23:45] <ammar> a tutti
[23:45] <unop> JanWinnicki, why won't you eject the thing from within nautilus? :)
[23:46] <pal> thank q.............very much
[23:46] <ammar> nesuno parla intaliano cui
[23:46] <unop> pal, you might need to log out and log back in for changes to take effect
[23:46] <unop> !it | ammar
[23:46] <Hilikus> what's the difference between a server kernel and a "common" kernel?
[23:47] <ace> what is  gconf-editor???????
[23:47] <JanWinnicki> unop: cause i don't know if it is possible at all, i know that i can unmount, but don't know how to eject without terminal
[23:47] <ikonia> Hilikus: one aimed at home hardware, the other at enterprise hardware (bottom line)
[23:47] <ammar> mi poi aiutare
[23:47] <unop> ace, it's something like the registry editor on windows -- only it's for the gnome desktop
[23:47] <ammar> perfavore
[23:47] <ikonia> Hilikus: same source tree, just more specific options
[23:47] <yaser> Enter text here...
[23:47] <ace> how do i run it
[23:48] <ikonia> ace: what do you want to change ?
[23:48] <unop> ammar, no one here speaks english -- you need to go to #ubuntu-it
[23:48] <unop> ace, type  gconf-editor in alt+f2
[23:48] <ace> i wanna know about it
[23:48] <yaser> hiiiii
[23:48] <ikonia> ace: playing around with it is not the best option, use it if you have something specific to do
[23:48] <ikonia> yaser: hello, can we help ?
[23:48] <ace> k
[23:49] <Hilikus> ikonia i'm runnig a server (mysql, php, ampache and a bunch of other stuff) and also mythtv. im using a server kernel. since i upgraded to the lastest kernel 2.6.24-19-server the nvidia driver stopped working. in the previous kernel i installed it using envyNG but it doesnt work now
[23:49] <ace> does it may effect if i change anything in dat editor
[23:49] <Hilikus> so i'm thinking on changing to a different kernel, is that a good idea?
[23:49] <ikonia> Hilikus: why are you using the server kernel ?
[23:49] <ikonia> Hilikus: the nvidia drivers are "home use" so therefore not setup to run with the server kernel
[23:49] <unop> ace, yes, use it with caution - it is not a toy or a game -- obviously
[23:50] <Hilikus> ikonia because of the LAMP, samba, etc
[23:50] <ace> k
[23:50] <ikonia> Hilikus: that doesn't mean you need a server kernel
[23:50] <ikonia> Hilikus: are you running this on a home PC ?
[23:50] <Hilikus> ikonia yes
[23:50] <ace> can i have any notes or materials 2specify how 2use the editor
[23:50] <ikonia> Hilikus: ok, so use the desktop kernel
[23:51] <ikonia> Hilikus: that way things like restricted drivers are available
[23:51] <Bulzor> Ubuntu is great :)
[23:51] <Bulzor> I have only 512 ram and it works perfectly
[23:51] <unop> Bulzor, i only have 256
[23:51] <jc__> The update manager is showing that I have an update, however I don't want to apply that update, can I remove this version, basically I have screenlets Version 0.11 installed and don't want to update to 0.12, but might want to update to 0.13 when its available? Is that possible?
[23:52] <Hilikus> ikonia how do i install the desktop kernel? but i dont want to instal all the GUI and all that, i already have that figured out using fluxbox
[23:52] <Bulzor> yeah but do u use xgl ?
[23:52] <unop> ace, U -- use the gconf-editor help manual
[23:52] <tripps> i can no longer load ubuntu with envyng's drivers nor the restricted driver. please help me diagnose. it just comes up in 640x480 no matter how many times I configure it
[23:52] <ikonia> Hilikus: did you install the server distro or the desktop distro ?
[23:52] <Hilikus> ikonia server
[23:52] <ikonia> Hilikus: ughhhh why did you install the server version when your not running on server hardware
[23:52] <ace> s i want help manual
[23:52] <meww> i can;t see my vista shared folder in ubuntu, any one can help???
[23:52] <unop> Bulzor, not really, I need more processing power for that not more RAM actually
[23:52] <ace> where colud i get it 4m
[23:52] <Hilikus> i basically have a hybrid. its server distro with a window manager
[23:53] <ikonia> Hilikus: basiclly - you need to install the linux-generic image
[23:53] <Hilikus> ikonia because it is a server
[23:53] <ikonia> Hilikus: image, I mean package
[23:53] <joelfrederico> tripps, still there?
[23:53] <ikonia> Hilikus: your not running it on a server though
[23:53] <tripps> joelfrederico, yes
[23:53] <Hilikus> web server, file server
[23:53] <DigitallyCrazy> oops
[23:53] <ikonia> Hilikus: you can run server processes such as web server, file servers on a desktop OS %101 fine
[23:53] <unop> ace, open up the gconf-editor and navigate to Help -> Contents
[23:53] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps, there?
[23:53] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, yes
[23:53] <Hilikus> no, the hardware is not. its standard x86 hardware
[23:53] <akuma5> have any of you setup a file server?
[23:53] <Bulzor> ok what Processor do you got?
[23:53] <unop> akuma5, yes
[23:53] <ikonia> Hilikus: exactly, so you're making things hard for yourself and potentially damaging your performance
[23:54] <unop> !ask | akuma5
[23:54] <Hilikus> :S
[23:54] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, I tried to reenable the restricted drivers at least, but still can't get my high-res settings back with the correct driver
[23:54] <ikonia> Hilikus: install the linux-generic package
[23:54] <DigitallyCrazy> okay
[23:54] <ikonia> Hilikus: once you've booted off that remove the server kernel package
[23:54] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps:start at the beginning
[23:54] <Hilikus> ikonia oh the other reason i used server is because i didnt want all the bloatware that comes with desktop, like gnome and all that
 i need help seting mine up can you help me i have been trying since yesterday
[23:54] <ikonia> Hilikus: you can uninstall that
[23:55] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: you started with restricted drivers?
[23:55] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, yes and they worked fine
[23:55] <ikonia> Hilikus: so for the sake of 10 minutes of removing packages, you've damaged your compatability and performance
[23:55] <unop> akuma5, ok, tell us what you have done so far and where you are encountering trouble at
[23:55] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: so then you went for EnvyNG?
[23:55] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, I used envyng to install the latest
[23:55] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, yes
[23:55] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: what happened?
[23:55] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, rebooted, X complained it was in lowres mode, and I couldn't get anything to work
[23:55] <WebcamWonder> Is there a dialog to change the screen colors like 16 million and 24 million colors?
[23:55] <minhaaj> how do i own my root directory ?
[23:55] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: okay
[23:55] <Hilikus> ikonia well, ive had my server running since feisty and this is the first time the stupid nvidia driver doesnt work
[23:56] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: did you then uninstall EnvyNG?
[23:56]  * Kprofthreat looks around.
[23:56] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: and the drivers it installed?
[23:56] <unop> WebcamWonder, gnome-display-properties probably
[23:56] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, yes I reenabled the restricted drivers, which uninstalled envyng
[23:56] <axn> i have installed compiz & i have tried to keep different wallpapers on different workspaces but i did not get them can u help out
[23:56] <ikonia> Hilikus: well, thats just how it is I'm afraid, server OS's are not aimed at home user hardware / setups
[23:56] <Hilikus> ikonia is that generic kernel the same that comes with the desktop flavor?

[23:57] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, i'm willing to give it another try. what steps should i take
[23:57] <akuma5> thats what i been doing
[23:57] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: well...
[23:57] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: what vid card do you have?
[23:57] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: nvidia or ati?
[23:58] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, Radeon 9600
[23:58] <axn> how do i get different wallpapers on different workspaces
[23:58] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: 'k... so...
[23:58] <unop> WebcamWonder,  what is the current colour depth - you can check /var/log/Xorg.log.*
[23:58] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: EnvyNG dl's drivers and installs them as packages sorta
[23:58] <jc__> how can I remove a program from the update manager?
[23:58] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, right
[23:59] <ikonia> jc__: remove it from your system then update manage won't pick it up
[23:59] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: and it does so in such a way that they won't be upgraded by ubuntu automatically
[23:59] <Hilikus> ikonia just to make sure, by installing that package it wont install the full Gnome stuff right?
[23:59] <unop> akuma5, ok, and what are you having trouble with?
[23:59] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: so you'd need to uninstall everything
[23:59] <axn>  how do i get different wallpapers on different workspaces?
[23:59] <tripps> DigitallyCrazy, ok then how do you actually "use" them
[23:59] <ikonia>  Hilikus kernel is nothing to do with gnome - so your fine
[23:59] <jc__> ikonia: well I want the version I have installed, the new one is buggy on my system
[23:59] <meww> I can't view my Vista shared folder in ubuntu???????? anyone can help
[23:59] <Hilikus> ikonia thats what i thought, thanks
[23:59] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: restricted drivers and EnvyNG drivers if possible
[23:59] <drpcken> hey i'm trying to disable the little eraser head mouse cursor mover on my laptop, i tried commenting out the inputs on the xorg.conf but it didn't work
[23:59] <ikonia> jc__: ahhh apt-cache policy
 the first part i kinda skipped it
[23:59] <DigitallyCrazy> tripps: and retry with EnvyNG
