[00:00] <linuxfce> I note this behavior by (lack of) performance, and when I have nvclock tell me what my clocks are, they are still at stock
[00:00] <soundray> Abed: it's not likely going to work in Ubuntu, but perhaps it will before it boots, e.g. at the grub menu
[00:00] <linuxfce> Drk_Guy I dont use, nothing works. I have been trying for days.
[00:00] <jake77> I'm wondering if the terminal is the same as python, bash, ssh, and if any one can help me with some basic stuff in a private chat?
[00:00] <Drk_Guy> linuxfce, Why you want to overclock that hard?
[00:00] <routinet> argh....but I don't wanna do WinXP install AGAIN....
[00:00] <piratelordx> ok if someone could help me
[00:00] <linuxfce> Compiz fusion performance
[00:00] <piratelordx> im a hardcore noob
[00:01] <zOap> help:I lost my square brackets on my macbook. Can|t get them to work anymore.. did the reconfigure xorg but still the same.. can anyone help me?
[00:01] <Abed> soundray where the grub menu how to access it
[00:01] <bobertdos> piratelordx: Very well, how may we be of service?
[00:01] <Drk_Guy> linuxfce, fusion-icon, compiz options, indirect rendering works like a charm
[00:01] <linuxfce> Compiz fusion functions horribly with powermizer enabled. Nvidia decided to restrict my ability to disable powermizer as well.
[00:01] <Steamtech> Hello everyone
[00:01] <piratelordx> i can not load the webpage for my online college courses
[00:01] <Drk_Guy> linuxfce, it gives a 2x FPS boost here
[00:01] <linuxfce> Drk_Guy not on this card, not with powermizer enabled.
[00:01] <soundray> Abed: early in the boot, there is a message that says 'hit Esc for grub menu' or similar
[00:01] <linuxfce> I know all the tricks for compiz fusion settings.
[00:02] <Odd-rationale> piratelordx: which page?
[00:02] <Drk_Guy> linuxfce, how do i check if powermizer is enabled?
[00:02] <linuxfce> Drk_Guy nvidia-settings
[00:02] <piratelordx> oec.kaplan.edu
[00:02] <Abed> ok i will test and brb
[00:02] <Odd-rationale> piratelordx: so you can't login? what does it say?
[00:02] <piratelordx> kk
[00:02] <piratelordx> thnx
[00:03] <kenkku> I guess that's all for tonight, folks. I better go to bed, good night
[00:03] <zoreau> anyone got warcraft3 running perfectly? It will run for me, but there is graphics lag at all times
[00:03] <linuxfce> Drk_Guy Powermizer is always taking my 400/600 stock and dropping it to 169/100. Try running CF on that.
[00:03] <LinuxIST> How do I get amarok to show (or jump to) current track on a long list playlist?
[00:03] <Steamtech> I am having issues with the Linux version of pSX, the playstation emulator, the playstation loading screen comes up just fine but when i click on the menus of pSX the playstation screen overlays it and i cannot see the items
[00:03] <Drk_Guy> linuxfce, go to my pm
[00:03] <bobertdos> ﻿zoreau: What drivers are you using?
[00:04] <Odd-rationale> piratelordx: i take online classes as well. and i have to (unfortunately) use IEs4Linux to display some of the websites...
[00:04] <piratelordx> also i have tried different browsers and i disabled ipv6
[00:04] <bobertdos> ﻿piratelordx: So again, can you log in?
[00:05] <LinuxIST> How do I get amarok to show (or jump to) current track on a long list playlist?
[00:05] <piratelordx> i can but it wont load images and it takes like 15 minutes
[00:05] <ivanvollvik> cheers to all :) newbie here !
[00:05] <zhaozhou> ivanvollvik: heya.
[00:05] <ivanvollvik> that is I AM the newbie :P
[00:05] <zoreau> bobert: im not sure, i have some crappy built in card
[00:05] <bobertdos> ﻿piratelordx: It loads just fine for me.
[00:05] <Odd-rationale> piratelordx: maybe your connection...
[00:06] <adityag> ﻿I have a web application which uses mysql,php . how do I scale it, one server is not enough so what do I do now? do ask this question in another channel (if yes, tell me which)?
[00:06] <Odd-rationale> piratelordx: the login page loads fine for me too...
[00:06] <piratelordx> bobertdos are u running hardy?? and what vers of firefox
[00:06] <zoreau> but its good enough that it should be able to run WC3 without lag, the amount Im getting now isridiculous
[00:06] <hhp21> Hey guys, I'm having a problem with the embedded terminal that I set up through http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/08/howto-completely-transparent-shell-on.html.  Whenever the terminal is set up, it reduces its window size to an impossibly small 5x6 window.  Does anyone know why this is happening? I followed the instructions to a T, the terminal does what I want it to do, it just retracts to this size every time.
[00:06] <wakenjenk> > hey could someone check this for me?  http://pastebin.on.nimp.org/A3CE8B5
[00:06] <bobertdos> ﻿zoreau: Ooh yeah, integrated video really complicates things.
[00:06] <AnimatedBox> where can I find random deb files?
[00:06] <Cheiron>   Not in scope: data constructor `A3CE8B5'
[00:06] <Pici> DONT CLICK THAT ?wakenjenk's LINK
[00:06] <bobertdos> ﻿piratelordx: Yes, I'm running Hardy, latest kernel, Firefox 3.0.1
[00:06] <Pici> Er, just don't click it.
[00:07] <zhaozhou> Pici: Why?
[00:07] <zhaozhou> Pici: You get me interested
[00:07] <Abed> soundray i used the ESC button but i got a menu which tells me to choose an OS so i didn't know wut to do
[00:07] <zoreau> bobertdos: its an intel corp mobile 945GM
[00:07] <vanberge> anyone ever flashed their bios with openbios ??
[00:07] <Pici> zhaozhou: Because its not a pastebin site, its a shock site.
[00:07] <soundray> Abed: hit the Fn key combination for bluetooth
[00:07] <zhaozhou> Pici: Right.
[00:07] <ivanvollvik> shock site?
[00:07] <piratelordx> could it be a problem with my router??
[00:08] <zhaozhou> ivanvollvik: Something like goatze.
[00:08] <zoreau> is there a way I can test to make sure my video card is working right
[00:08] <Abed> soundray i got nth
[00:08] <Abed> soundray i hit the FN and the wireless shortcut but nth works
[00:08] <apo> Hi, I got an ubuntu server (8.04). I've got a crontab "* * * * * command > /tmp/file". When I do "ls /tmp/", it is empty. Seems like the command doesn't get executed. Any ideas?
[00:09] <apo> I also tried the command manually, works fine.
[00:09] <histo> Wow that was annoying
[00:09] <histo> zhaozhou: yeah
[00:09] <Odd-rationale> ok. i;m out... i got a headache... :(
[00:10] <mattspry> apo: is it in the user or root crontab? did you use crontab -e to edit it? you're expecting it to run every minute?
[00:10] <zhaozhou> Too many people joining and quitting this channel...
[00:10] <apo> mattspry: user crontab, I did use crontab -e, and yes.
[00:11] <zoreau> !info video card
[00:11] <zhaozhou> Got no irssi-theme to hide it either.
[00:11] <mattspry> zhaozhou: get a bigger display?
[00:11] <Pici> !quietirssi | zhaozhou
[00:11] <histo> zhaozhou: Thats why I ignore it.
[00:11] <Baby_Shambl3s> zhaozhou: you cna always ignore it
[00:11] <routinet> amenado: you suggest putting GRUB on sda2.  how will I be able to put into Ubuntu with WinXP in control of the MBR?
[00:12] <piratelordx> can anyone here help me in pv?? im havin some webpage issues lol
[00:12] <histo> zhaozhou: /IGNORE #ubuntu ALL -PUBLIC -ACTIONS
[00:12] <|Louis> how can we create .txt's in ubuntu?
[00:12] <|Louis> Hi!!! how can we create .txt's in ubuntu?
[00:12] <histo> |Louis: use an editor
[00:12] <apo> |Louis: touch file.txt
[00:13] <harpreet> Louis, "touch"
[00:13] <zoreau> createa new filea and rename it to .txt  ?? is simple man, really
[00:13] <|Louis> o.O
[00:13] <histo> |Louis: or echo something to a .txt or cat > blah.txt etc... there are tons of ways
[00:13] <YuriQ> hi
[00:13] <kindofabuzz> you don't need a .txt extension in linux since all files are txt anyways pretty much
[00:13] <histo> |Louis: what are you trying to do exactly?
[00:13] <YuriQ> I am trying to figure out where did the Info documentation for emacs go
[00:13] <piratelordx> i cant load my online college course when i use ubuntu
[00:13] <piratelordx> ??
[00:13] <YuriQ> emacs21 had the dfsg package
[00:13] <tech0007> histo: it was just black window
[00:13] <|Louis> histo: I wanna load a .txt as a mIRC script
[00:13] <YuriQ> but this is emacs22
[00:13] <YuriQ> ?
[00:13] <harpreet> piratelordx:  wat it says?
[00:14] <histo> |Louis: ? you using mirc in ubuntu?
[00:14] <|Louis> histo: yes
[00:14] <histo> |Louis: well try applications > Accessories > text editor
[00:14] <dokwerk> To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi:  /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS <--- is it the same in xchat?
[00:14] <apo> mattspry: No ideas either, huh?
[00:14] <kindofabuzz> piratelordx: online course?  use the User Agent addon for firefox and see if that works
[00:14] <histo> |Louis: or if you are in a terminal nano whatever.txt
[00:14] <mattspry> apo: sorry, what's the question?
[00:14] <apo> mattspry: crontab ;0
[00:14] <apo> ;)*
[00:15] <soundray> Abed: still here?
[00:15] <histo> dokwerk: Not sure if xchat has ingores
[00:15] <histo> I just use irssi
[00:15] <dokwerk>  /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS
[00:15] <smo> anyone with  dns problems here ?
[00:15] <tech0007> ﻿/ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS
[00:15] <Abed> yeah soundray but reading a manual for toshiba
[00:15] <kindofabuzz> man Gov't Mule rocks! Warren is a God.  =)
[00:15] <soundray> Abed: have you seen this: http://www.schwieters.org/toshset/
[00:15] <Flannel> kindofabuzz: erm... I think that's offtopic.
[00:15] <mattspry> apo: ahh yes, i would try changing the * * * * * around until you get it. also, check the syntax in crontab very carefully and consult the crontab manpage.
[00:15] <YuriQ> Once again - where is the info documentation in emacs22?
[00:15] <Abed> the FN works with the brightness buttons but not the rest
[00:16] <kindofabuzz> yeah it was
[00:16] <kindofabuzz> it happens
[00:16] <Abed> soundray thnx i will check it out now
[00:16] <mattspry> apo: also, are you sure cron is actually running? is it outputting to the cron log?
[00:16] <apo> mattspry: The syntax is just fine. And you can't exactly get any more hits than with 5x* :/
[00:16] <ajhtiredwolf> does anyone hereh ave awn installed? I have it installed and when i open a new new window, it opens a new icon on the awn task manager, instead It should open a list of the same types of windows when clicking on that icon like the mac os, did i do something wrong?
[00:16] <Phydoux> Is there a app like Network Magic for Ubuntu?
[00:16] <apo> mattspry: Where's the cron log?
[00:16] <AnimatedBox> Where is the official site of gfxboot?
[00:16] <mattspry> apo: true, i just remember i had a similar problem and i had a small syntax error
[00:16] <Flannel> dokwerk: No, in xchat you can either right click the channel and turn them off (uncheck the box) or /set irc_conf_mode 1 to turn it off in all channels
[00:16] <apo> /var/log/syslog?
[00:17] <soundray> Abed: you'd have to download there software and make it run on your computer. It's not as easy as installing an Ubuntu package, but it should be feasible.
[00:17] <routinet> Can anyone else provide some insight into where GRUB should be installed?
[00:17] <mattspry> apo: yes, i think so, unless you have changed the syslog.conf
[00:17] <histo> !grub > routinet
[00:17] <kindofabuzz> routinet: hd0
[00:17] <zcat[1]> routinet, normally the mbr
[00:17] <zOap> Hi, I use a macbook with hardy. in the login window I can type shit+alt+8 and 9 and get the square bracket. but not when Im logged in. but the xorg.conf file is loaded when the user login window is right? or what did I do wrong?
[00:17] <dokwerk> Flannel thx a lot
[00:17] <shad> Hi,  does anyone know a channel i can go to for ppl who are new to linux
[00:17] <soundray> Abed: unfortunately, I can't guide you because I'm logging off now. Hope you can get it to work, I'm sure you'll find someone to answer your questions if you describe your problem exactly.
[00:18] <zcat[1]> shad, this one's probably the best
[00:18] <Abed> thnx soundray
[00:18] <soundray> shad: especially if you're on Ubuntu
[00:18] <mattspry> apo: tail -f /var/log/messages
[00:18] <mattspry> for the default syslog install
[00:18] <histo> shad: try /list *linux*
[00:18] <Abed> u were very helpful
[00:18] <mattspry> oh we're on ubuntu; i forgot....
[00:18] <histo> shad: to get a list of channels containing that word
[00:18] <sugi> hateme257
[00:18] <shad> and you wont mind if i ask newbie questions
[00:18] <bobertdos> Goll, I can't believe I did that.
[00:18] <apo> mattspry: I'm redirecting the cron stuff now, doing a tail -f on the logs.
[00:18] <soundray> shad: we will, but it won't show ;)
[00:18] <HyperStream> does the new nvidia 260 and 280 have support in ubuntu ? and is ATI drivers etc advanced enough to somewhat game and so forth under linux, im trying to figure out nvidia vs ATI prices - and preformance - is 9800 > 260 ? very hard to choose
[00:18] <zcat[1]> shad, as long as you don't mind ubotu !answers
[00:18] <apo> mattspry: That should give me results in a minute :)
[00:18] <mattspry> apo: i am bouncing between #gentoo and here, forgive me for the mixup :)
[00:19] <apo> mattspry: Sure, thanks for helping :)
[00:19] <hiptobecubic> anyone here use Mupen64plus? i'm having issues trying to compile it
[00:20] <shad> thats nice to know.. anyway I am shad and i just installed xubuntu on a old laptop a few days ago. And i just got it working on my home internet.. I am so chuffed
[00:20] <shelbyscates> hey guys i have a question, random files have been popping up on my computer, and i want to know stuff about them so i can try to figure out where they are coming from ?
[00:20] <soundray> !yay | shad
[00:20] <shelbyscates> how do i get file info?
[00:20] <shad> thank you :)
[00:20] <Flannel> shelbyscates: What sort of info?
[00:21] <muffy> HyperStream: are you going to do anything that requires a high end video card anyway?
[00:21] <shelbyscates> i dunno, the user that made it, when it was made, etc?
[00:21] <|Louis> Hi, how can we load a script under Ubuntu6
[00:21] <|Louis> on mIRC
[00:21] <Flannel> shelbyscates: ls -al /path/to/file
[00:21] <routinet> histo: I've read through several sets of instructions, but they all assume I'm installing Windows after Ubuntu.  I already have WinXP on the drive, and Ubuntu is asking me where to put GRUB.  The choices are sda, sda1 (WINXP), sda2 (/), sda5 (ntfs data)
[00:21] <soundray> shelbyscates: check out 'ls -l filename' and 'file filename'
[00:21] <shelbyscates> ok
[00:21] <muffy> HyperStream: a friend of mine ordered this cool new high end computer, but his 'old' one was capable of doing anything he wanted
[00:22] <soundray> routinet: sda
[00:22] <muffy> he just 'wanted' a new computer.. =/
[00:22] <histo> routinet: if you want to replace you mbr it should be putting it on sda
[00:22] <Flannel> routinet: sda
[00:22] <histo> routinet: I don't knwo why its even asking you.
[00:22] <routinet> good lord I hope so...doing WinXP install #3 is not what I had planned this evening.  :/
[00:22] <|Louis> Hi, how can we load a script under mIRC on ubuntu?
[00:22] <Voxicles> Okay, so forgive me for the uber dumb question, but why are all my files that I transfer from back up dvds to my HD locked?
[00:23] <Flannel> |Louis: You'd do it however you do it in mIRC
[00:23] <Steamtech> Im having an issue with pSX the playstation emulator, can anyone help?
[00:23] <|Louis> no, Flannel
[00:23] <|Louis> the script editor is unavaiable
[00:23] <muffy> Steamtech: I used ePSXe or something, it worked for me
[00:23] <soundray> routinet: even if it doesn't work, don't reinstall straight away. If grub doesn't have a boot entry for Windows, it's just a matter of editing /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:23] <routinet> |Louis: alt-r for the scripts editor?
[00:23] <mrtin> hello everyone... is it possible to make icons transparent with compiz?
[00:23] <apo> mattspry: The cron log says nothing at all after a restart.
[00:23] <Voxicles> Anyone?
[00:23] <routinet> soundray: understood...I'll keep you posted
[00:24] <zoreau> ok I got my Warcraft 3 to work without video lag, i just had to add '-opengl' to the end of the wine cmd line
[00:24] <whta> anyone know where all the configuration data for AWN is stored? every time i reinstall it i get my old settings, settings that are very broken. i want to delete them when i reinstall..
[00:24] <muffy> Voxicles: locked how? read only?
[00:24] <Flannel> |Louis: mIRC is not in Ubuntu, none of us have any knowledge on how it works.  You should ask the mIRC people.  If you think the problem is related to wine (somethign that works in windows isn't working through wine), ask in #winehq
[00:24] <soundray> routinet: no you won't :)  I'll drop in my bed now
[00:24] <djjason> does anyone know if it is possible to get thunderbird to work with the globalmenu-applet
[00:24] <|Louis> routinet: It crashes mIRC when you attempt to open the Script Editor, in any way.
[00:24] <Flannel> whta: probably ~/.awn or ~/.avant
[00:24] <routinet> lol...FINE...abandon me..  <sniff>
[00:24] <Voxicles> muffy: I'm not sure, whenever I transfer them, there is a lock symobl on the fodlers and what not, and I can't rename them or anything
[00:24] <CShadowRun> |Louis you running mIRC in wine? i have that problem too, if i open my script editor, it just closes lol
[00:24] <zoreau> but not my problem is that the top gnome bar shows through into the WC3 screen--anyone know how to fic this
[00:24] <whta> flannel: I checked all the obvious places, nothing there
[00:24] <mrtin> is it possible to make icons transparent with compiz?
[00:25] <tech0007> whta: ~/.config/awn
[00:25] <routinet> |Louis: then you're screwed (?)....have you tried reinstalling mirc?
[00:25] <whta> tech0007: i deleted that, but when i reinstall awn, i still get my old settings
[00:25] <Flannel> whta: try ~/.config/awn
[00:25] <Blacklight> CShadowRun: there are native linux clients, irssi, xchat (mirc like) and many others, you chould check them out.
[00:25] <guren> zoreau: are you running on full screen mode?
[00:25] <muffy> Voxicles: but you can view them? As in view pics/movies
[00:25] <zoreau> guren: yes
[00:25] <CShadowRun> Blacklight and absolutely none of them support window tiling.
[00:25] <whta> flannel: as stated, i deleted that, but when i reinstall awn, i still get my old settings
[00:25] <bobertdos> ﻿Voxicles: Because all optical disks, writable or not, are read-only sources. When you transfer those files to Ubuntu, it keeps those read-only permissions intact.
[00:26] <CShadowRun> Blacklight apart from irssi which half supports it (horizontal and not verticle)
[00:26] <routinet> |Louis: /load -rs <filename> to load a script
[00:26] <Blacklight> CShadowRun: perhaps you can write a perl or python script to do the job for you?
[00:26] <tech0007> whta: try ~/.gconf/apps/avant-window-navigator/
[00:26] <Voxicles> Bobertdos, can I fix that?  Seems they transfer off od the dvd fine in xp :-/
[00:26] <guren> zoreau: hmm i've tried that before without any probs..hmm can you try to press ctrl+alt+d twice while running wacraft?
[00:26] <marcelo_> Hello, i have a doubt about c++, can anybody here help me?
[00:26] <CShadowRun> Blacklight i'm 156 lines in, xchat addon.
[00:26] <zoreau> ok ill try
[00:26] <Pici> marcelo_: ##c++ would be a better place to ask
[00:26] <CShadowRun> Blacklight but for now running mIRC in a VM, lol
[00:26] <apo> mattspry: It executes root crontabs, but no user crontabs.
[00:27] <whta> tech0007: many thanks, didn't see that. i'll give it a try
[00:27] <__yy> marcelo_: ##c++ can help you
[00:27] <Blacklight> CShadowRun: lol nice....
[00:27] <Voxicles> I can't even delete them after I copy them off the dvd
[00:27] <Blacklight> CShadowRun: Im using weechat now. its like mirc/xchat, and some irssi also.
[00:27] <CShadowRun> Blacklight window tiling?
[00:27] <marcelo_> _yy Thanks, i would like to now is these sentences are the same:
[00:28] <bobertdos> ﻿Voxicles: The only thing you can do is change the permissions once those files are on your drive. This is most easily accomplished using chmod in the terminal.
[00:28] <Blacklight> CShadowRun: not that I know of, uless you open two windows :P
[00:28] <Voxicles> bobertdos, can you direct me to a guide for that?
[00:28] <Sylphid> how can I install a package ignoring its dependencies?
[00:28] <CShadowRun> Blacklight lol, linux needs more tiling :P
[00:28] <marcelo_> i write a sentence this way: TH1F *h1 = new TH1F("h1","h1 title",100,0,4.4);
[00:28] <bobertdos> !chmod > Voxicles
[00:28] <Blacklight> CShadowRun: we need folks like you to write the code for us is what we need :D
[00:28] <grizlo42> i followed the directions to fx the bug in the install with the en_AU.UTF-8 but it fauled a dependency in ubuntu-minimal
[00:29] <grizlo42> is this fatal?
[00:29] <Voxicles> bobertdos, Thanks :-)
[00:29] <CShadowRun> Blacklight working on it xD
[00:29] <marcelo_> and in two lines like that: TH1F *h1;
[00:29] <grizlo42> or will it be ok to restart and fix it?
[00:29] <zoreau> guren: didnt work,a it actually fucked up all the graphics and made it worse, and didnt fix the bars showing through
[00:29] <marcelo_> and in the other line: h1 = new TH1F("h1","h1 title",100,0,4.4);
[00:29] <__yy> marcelo_: there is no difference
[00:30] <marcelo_> ok, thanks _yy
[00:30] <guren> zoreau: i see.. it usually fixes my full screen problems on other apps though..
[00:31] <__yy> marcelo_: but in general you should be using something like boost::shared_ptr or something similar instead of raw pointers if your are  coding C++
[00:31] <marcelo_> i hardly never use this xchat, i don't know how exacly to use it.
[00:31] <zoreau> ooh I figureditout--had to disable compiz, also ihatemy brokenspacebar
[00:31] <Gun_Smoke> marcelo_, You seem to be doing just fine

[00:34] <Baby_Shambl3s> if he/she cna make it all the way here the interweb is the easiest stop
[00:35] <LinuxIST>  is there a way to set the text area in Konversation to transparent
[00:35] <Dethlok> I'm trying to install adesklets-0.6.1 and when i ./configure i get the message that "c compiler cannot creat executables"  anybody know what that means?  sorry im kinda new
[00:35] <slicky> pleace ill dont ask
[00:35] <slicky> ill ask smart questions
[00:35] <__yy> Dethlok: have you installed the build-essential package?
[00:36] <Pici> slicky: This is the Ubuntu Support channel.  If you just want to chat, join #ubuntu-offtopic, otherwise keep it to yourself.
[00:36] <Blacklight> is adesklets a another version of gdesklets?
[00:36] <Baby_Shambl3s> start by typing in a grammatical structure even knowing im poor at that
[00:36] <Dethlok> must not because i dont even know what that is, =P
[00:36] <Inuzuka_Skysword> Alright I am using the live CD to check it out a bit without changing around my computer. Somehow, I get to a log-in screen and I don't know what to put there. Anyone know?
[00:36] <tech0007> !info adesklets | Dethlok
[00:36] <Baby_Shambl3s> Blacklight: they are similar it depends on which you like
[00:36] <Blacklight> Inuzuka_Skysword: the user name you created during loading.
[00:37] <Inuzuka_Skysword> I never created one
[00:37] <Inuzuka_Skysword> how do you
[00:37] <Baby_Shambl3s> Inuzuka_Skysword: livecd doesnt have password it logs you in automatically
[00:37] <Blacklight> Baby_Shambl3s: because gdesklets just hangs on load.
[00:37] <routinet> my live CD went straight to desktop
[00:37] <__yy> Dethlok: ok, do     sudo apt-get install build-essential    then try to ./configure again (also say my name if you're talking to me, otherwise I'll probably miss it. this is a pretty busy channel)
[00:37] <Baby_Shambl3s> Blacklight: they are similar same functions different pppl mad them you should check their website for more info
[00:38] <Blacklight> Baby_Shambl3s: and Id really like to use it, just curious as to its overall fitness. if anyone knows
[00:38] <histo> Inuzuka_Skysword: were did you get the live cd?
[00:38] <Inuzuka_Skysword> Ordered it from the site
[00:38] <Inuzuka_Skysword> for free
[00:38] <Baby_Shambl3s> Blacklight: ah you shouldve said that, in that case i dont know dont use docks applets anymore
[00:38] <zOap> what was the name of the app where I could see what key i was pressing?
[00:38] <apo> xev?
[00:39] <bobertdos> ﻿Inuzuka_Skysword: lol, so you showed up! I just answered you on GW too.
[00:39] <zOap> apo, yeah, thats it:)
[00:39] <LinuxIST>  is there a way to set the text area in Konversation to transparent?
[00:39] <Inuzuka_Skysword> oh
[00:39] <Dethlok> ___yy:  ok it's installing right now, thank you very much!
[00:39] <Abed> i have a toshiba laptop and when i run sudo toshset i get required kernel toshiba support not enabled.
[00:39] <Blacklight> Baby_Shambl3s: I use conky which is nice for system resources, perhaps I should just stick with what works.
[00:39] <Abed> so?
[00:40] <Inuzuka_Skysword> So basically do I jsut type in root in the usrname box and I don't type in a password
[00:40] <Dethlok> __yy: ahh, i need python as well
[00:40] <Baby_Shambl3s> Blacklight: you just answered yourself, perhaps you should but wont kill you or your system to try out adesklet, awn etc
[00:40] <__yy> Dethlok: you should be able to apt-get that as well
[00:40] <Dethlok> __yy: ok tyvm
[00:41] <bobertdos> ﻿Inuzuka_Skysword: Yeah, that's what I would try. It's still weird though. You don't normally get a login screen with the live session.
[00:41] <histo> Inuzuka_Skysword: where di you get the cd? You shouldn't have to log in on a ubuntu live cd.
[00:41] <Blacklight> ive tried awn, but in fluxbox its kinda of like umm nealy the same thing.
[00:41] <Inuzuka_Skysword> I ordered it from the main site.
[00:41] <__yy> Dethlok: or you can use the synaptic package manager to search for/install it if you're more comfortable in a GUI. apt-get and synaptic get packages from the same place, so It's not like you're missing anything using one or the other
[00:41] <Inuzuka_Skysword> I got a 64 bit, which is what I am using
[00:41] <histo> Inuzuka_Skysword: from ubuntu.com?
[00:42] <Baby_Shambl3s> tried jwn not bad on puppy like the themes for it especially the windows one
[00:42] <Inuzuka_Skysword> yeah
[00:42] <Blacklight> I would think the live cd ordered from the website would come with atleast some very basic of instructions.
[00:42] <Dethlok> __yy: ok, i already have v2.5 but for somereason the adesklets doesn't see it
[00:43] <histo> Inuzuka_Skysword: do you have another cd drive in your computer?
[00:43] <Baby_Shambl3s> Blacklight: nope the livecd is basic enough also the ubuntu site explains things quite well
[00:43] <Inuzuka_Skysword> I only have one
[00:43] <muffy> Hey baby ride with me away
[00:43] <histo> Inuzuka_Skysword: Then the cd is defective you can try ubuntu with a blank password
[00:43] <muffy> We doesn't have much time
[00:43] <AnimatedBox> how do I change usplash themes manually? startupmanager crashes whenever I try to add themes.
[00:43] <histo> Inuzuka_Skysword: but it shouldn't ask.
[00:43] <muffy> my blue jeans is tight
[00:43] <__yy> Dethlok: I can't help you with that, sorry. That's an adesklets specific problem, and I've never used adesklets.
[00:43] <histo> !bot splash AnimatedBox
[00:43] <Inuzuka_Skysword> Alright I am gonna try and do it again.
[00:43] <muffy> so onto my love rocket climb

[00:43] <Inuzuka_Skysword> I will be back if it does not work.

[00:44] <Pici> muffy: Please stop
[00:44] <bobertdos> ﻿Inuzuka_Skysword is a GW person. Strange things tend to happen to the people who come to our forums :D
[00:44] <Baby_Shambl3s> lol is he/she on drugs
[00:44] <Dethlok> __yy: ok, well i would just use gdesklets but it says it cant connect to the server?
[00:44] <Blacklight> lol
[00:44] <muffy> Pici: but it adds fun-ness to the channel :D
[00:44] <histo> Pici: How is he masking his ident like that?
[00:44] <AnimatedBox> histo: gnome-splashscreen-manager specifically DOES NOT WORK. It crashes whenever I add themes. How do I do it manually?
[00:44] <Skorzen> hey guys
[00:45] <histo> AnimatedBox: I don't know
[00:45] <AnimatedBox> histo: thanks anyway
[00:45] <Abed> i am reading an article about toshiba but when i got here i didn't know wut to do  "Configure the kernel - For a 2.6 series kernel, you'll find the driver located at:  Power management options / ACPI Support / Toshiba Laptop Extras " how can i access this?
[00:45] <muffy> or maybe I should go to bed, it's 0145 here =p
[00:45] <Pici> muffy: Please take the chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:45] <Baby_Shambl3s> im out too much madness here everyone seems to be doing well and hi Pici :)
[00:45] <Blacklight> Abed: which distro is this?
[00:45] <bobertdos> ﻿Skorzen: How may we help you?
[00:45] <__yy> Dethlok: sorry, I've never used gdesklets either. I would guess it probably means it can't connect to your X server (the thing that manages window resources for you) but I don't know how to fix it.
[00:45] <Abed> ubuntu
[00:45] <Tensei> anyone know how to run the mySql shell after installing ?
[00:46] <muffy> Pici: true, I always hang out there, and I suppose I got used to it, will keep my keyboard shut here <3
[00:46] <histo> muffy: can you pm me.
[00:46] <Abed> Blacklight i am using ubuntu but i dunno which is in the article
[00:46] <Skorzen> Just a curiosity: if i wanna find an installed program i go to synaptic and type its name. So, how do i do it through cli?
[00:46] <Blacklight> Abed: and your trying to configure a kernel in ubuntu?
[00:46] <Abed> Blacklight yeah why?
[00:47] <Abed> Blacklight I can't?
[00:47] <Dethlok> __yy:  ok, thank you for the clues =)
[00:47] <Baby_Shambl3s> Skorzen: apt-cache search [name]
[00:47] <Blacklight> Abed: sure you can,
[00:47] <cheryle> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[00:47] <cheryle> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[00:47] <cheryle> help?
[00:47] <tech0007> Skorzen: 'dpkg --list | grep [app]'
[00:47] <apo> Skorzen: apt-cache --installed search <name>
[00:47] <histo> cheryle: run dpkg --configure -a then
[00:47] <Pici> cheryle: run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[00:47] <Skorzen> thanks both :-)
[00:48] <Skorzen> gonna try both commands
[00:48] <Abed> Blacklight so dude in the article it says i can locate the driver at Power management options > ACPI ----
[00:48] <tech0007> Skorzen: if its not installed yet, use apt-cache search
[00:48] <Abed> Blacklight so were is it?
[00:48] <simplyJohnny> can anyone help me with a wireless problem, it keeps quitting suddenly and i have to keep clicking on nm-applet and setting it the my network over and over
[00:48]  * Baby_Shambl3s bye all going bed i cant look at the screen any longer
[00:48] <Skorzen> tech0007: ok, thanks! ;-)
[00:48] <Blacklight> it should be in the kernel configuration options.
[00:48] <routinet> does ubuntu have an equivalent to the windows device manager?
[00:48] <Dethlok> __yy: maybe it's because i'm 64 bit?
[00:48] <Tensei> anyone know how to run the mySql shell after installing ?
[00:48]  * Blacklight has to go back to compiling freebsd kernels for a minute...
[00:49] <routinet> tensei: mysql is the command-line client
[00:49] <apo> Tensei: just run mysql?
[00:49] <__yy> Dethlok: I don't think that should affect it really
[00:49] <AnimatedBox> does anyone know how to add a new usplash theme without using gnome-splashscreen-manager?
[00:49] <__yy> Dethlok: that matters more for things like drivers
[00:49] <Dethlok> __yy: oh ok
[00:49] <Tensei> routinet: where do i find it?  I went to ect/mysql and don't want to run the wrong thing
[00:49] <Blacklight> Abed: unfortunately I can't remember.
[00:49] <Skorzen> apo: that one seems to list all the programs containing the word i've searched
[00:49] <Tensei> apo: from where?
[00:49] <simplyJohnny> anyone
[00:49] <apo> Tensei: What? Just type mysql in your shell of choice...
[00:49] <bobertdos> !usplash > ﻿AnimatedBox
[00:49] <simplyJohnny> it keeps dying
[00:50] <Dethlok> __yy: i got all the hard stuff done =P  wireless, video, etc... i figured this would be easy hehe
[00:50] <xTheGoat121x> Back again, everyone.
[00:50] <zcat[1]> !info fnfxd
[00:50] <Abed> Blacklight np but if u remembered just tell me
[00:50] <Tensei> apo: oh.. i can use termianl?
[00:50] <AnimatedBox> bobertdos: gnome-splashscreen-editor is completely useless. It crashes whenever I click "Install." and it won't let me do anything besides click install.
[00:50] <apo> Skorzen: Oh, right. add -n
[00:50] <xTheGoat121x> Anyone have Firefox 3.0.1 break their dark theme fix?
[00:50] <apo> Tensei: Of course. That's what CLI clients are there for =P
[00:51] <bobertdos> ﻿AnimatedBox: There are terminal commands somewhere.........I can't remember if the bot can query them or not.
[00:51] <Tensei> apo: sorry, only spent a few hours on ubuntu.. not use to linux.. microsoft man until now :-)
[00:51] <vanberge> has anyone heard of or used open bios ?

[00:53] <Reilwin> good riddance
[00:54] <nickrud> what a greeting
[00:54] <vanberge> smokie, i think you can use gparted to partition it, make a file system, and pick a mount point fo rit
[00:54] <Dethlok> is this channel filled with little kids today or what?
[00:54] <Dethlok> geesh, lol
[00:54]  * vanberge remembers doing that once - and didn't think it too hard
[00:54] <apo> Dethlok: Welcome to my playground.
[00:54] <tech0007> niuq: u decide, brasero, k3b, gnome-baker
[00:54] <lunaris> I have a gustion about *.bin file that I have downloaded from net.Who is free for a min?
[00:54] <smokie> vanberge, can you say that again in more simple way?
[00:54] <vanberge> smokie, have you used a partition editor before?
[00:54] <zcat[1]> !gparted
[00:54] <harpreet> haha nickrud
[00:54] <tech0007> !ask | lunaris
[00:54] <bobertdos> ﻿Dethlok: either that or a lot of illegitimate bots are getting in. It has seemed particularly severe today.
[00:55] <Tensei> harpreet: you wouldn't by chance know why my number pad doesn't work in ubuntu 8 do you?
[00:55] <lunaris> tech0007 : How can I intall that file?
[00:55] <harpreet> Tensei wat number pad?
[00:55] <lunaris> tech0007 : It's a real player ,and I need it:)
[00:55] <Blacklight> since when did 8.04 go LTS?
[00:55] <legend2440> Abed:    http://www.itwriting.com/blog/333-fixing-bluetooth-on-a-toshiba-with-ubuntu.html
[00:55] <zcat[1]> lunaris, what .bin file? are you sure the same thing isn't available in the repos?
[00:55]  * vanberge thinks gparted can do everything smokie needs it to... anyone care to correct?  he needs to partition his new hard disk; format it ext3; and assign a mount point.  i haven't used gparted in awhile  :-/
[00:56] <Tensei> harpreet: the num pad on my keyboard.. it works on the password screen but not the interface once it's loaded :-).. it will move the page around but wont type numbers
[00:56] <tech0007> lunaris: use the instructions that come with it
[00:56] <harpreet> Tensei u have chosen wrong keyboard layout !!!!
[00:56] <nickrud> vanberge gparted qualifies
[00:56] <apo> Tensei: Try hitting the numlock key
[00:56] <Tensei> harpreet: I don't recall choosing a layout...
[00:56] <Tensei> apo: it doesn't do anything
[00:56] <lunaris> tech0007 : nothing came:)
[00:56] <harpreet> Tensei wat country are u in, may i ask?
[00:56] <zcat[1]> lunaris, ou can play realmedia with the appropriate codecs, you possibly don't 'need' realplayer at all
[00:56] <tech0007> lunaris: its usually 'chmod +x [binfile] && sudo ./[binfile]'
[00:56] <Tensei> harpreet: USA...
[00:56] <Abed> thnx legend2440
[00:56] <vanberge> nickrud, tyvm - smokie, you will want to use gparted.  it's still a bit technical but much better than using mkfs and editing your fstab.
[00:56] <zcat[1]> !codecs
[00:56] <marcelo_> Does anybody here plays xgalaga? I would like to know if my score is great enough, leve 21.
[00:56] <Blacklight> vanberge: I would agree also
[00:57] <nickrud> vanberge hm, adding a mount point to /etc/fstab, not sure
[00:57] <harpreet> Tensei use keyboard layout tool it lists the supported keyboard types
[00:58] <Tensei> harpreet: do I need to restart for it to take effect or..?
[00:58]  * zcat[1] refuses to help anybody install realplayer; it saves me and them the pain of trying to remove it when they realise what a pile of shit it is
[00:58] <harpreet> Tensei no
[00:58] <IslasCufuego> A GUI, strictly assembled is always much better then average Joe's stupid clutterings
[00:58] <Blacklight> !language ! zcat[1]
[00:58] <harpreet> Tensei: do this in terminal and check your layout  : sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.BACKUP
[00:58] <nickrud> !language | zcat[1] (but ditto)
[00:58] <lunaris> tech0007 : I cannot do anything with that command
[00:59] <niuq> a good software for burning cd/dvd?
[00:59] <harpreet> Tensei: then try this sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:59] <nickrud> niuq gnomebaker, k3b are decent
[00:59] <IslasCufuego> niuq: gnome-burn thing is good
[00:59] <zcat[1]> niuq, right-click on the iso, choose 'burn to disk' -- or just insert a blank and choose data/music shen the dialog appears
[01:00] <tech0007> lunaris: or use realplayer from medibuntu
[01:00] <niuq> thank you
[01:00] <tech0007> !medibuntu > lunaris
[01:00] <harpreet> Tensei: then u can choose wat layout to use under xkblayout, u can tell it to use "us"
[01:01] <harpreet> Tensei: then type "setxkbmap us" in terminal u shud be good to go
[01:01] <Blacklight> why on earth would anyone want to use realplayer...
[01:01] <ycy> so
[01:01] <IslasCufuego> Blacklight: agreed, its crap
[01:01] <zcat[1]> Blacklight, because they don't realise they don't need realplayer to play realmedia
[01:02] <IslasCufuego> Id code real player better in one week
[01:02] <IslasCufuego> lamers
[01:02] <Blacklight> IslasCufuego: it take you more than a week to clean up that code.
[01:02] <Tensei> harpreet: it's already set as US...
[01:02] <Drk_Guy> Is there anyone experienced at building kernels?
[01:02] <Tensei> harpreet: I tried looking up my keyboard instead of the generic.. but it didn't have the model..
[01:02] <Drk_Guy> I want to customize my own kernel
[01:03] <nickrud> !kernel | Drk_Guy (there are many howto's, and the doc dir in the kernel source, have fun ;)
[01:03] <harpreet> Tensei: where did u try looking for a model?
[01:03] <zcat[1]> It took me almost a week to figure out where realplayer had changed all the file associations and set them back the last time I used it (which was a long time ago.. I swore after that experience I would never, ever install it again on any machine, under any OS)
[01:04] <IslasCufuego> Blacklight: I can imagine hence id write it Anew
[01:04] <tech0007> zcat[1]: u learned the hard way
[01:04] <Tensei> harpreet: system, keyboard, layouts
[01:04] <Tensei> harpreet: keyboard model
[01:04] <zcat[1]> that was back about redhat 5 iirc... a long time ago. But from what I hear, it's no better today anyway.
[01:04] <lunaris> tech0007 : I'm looking there,thanks
[01:04] <harpreet> Tensei: use system hal device manager
[01:04] <IslasCufuego> Blacklight: Let me check how many lines ive written so far this week...
[01:05] <Tensei> harpreet: how do i get to that?
[01:05] <Abed> i am reading an article but it says go to /usr/src/linux but i can't find the linux folder so wut's wrong???
[01:06] <IslasCufuego> Blacklight:  2315
[01:06] <IslasCufuego> lines of C
[01:06] <Blacklight> IslasCufuego: Ive written about that many lines in IRC.
[01:06] <zcat[1]> Abed, you're trying to compile a kernel. It's not 1990 anymore.. you very likely do not need to compile a kernel.
[01:06] <Blacklight> does that count for something
[01:06] <unop> Abed, you need to have the linux-headers package installed
[01:06] <harpreet> system>preferences>keyboard
[01:06] <harpreet> hit the "mouse keys" tab
[01:06] <harpreet> uncheck the box "allow to control the pointer using keyboard"
[01:06] <Drk_Guy> Nickrud, does it take too much time? AMD Sempron 3800+ 2.2 Ghz, 2 GB RAM
[01:06] <Mr_Bad_News> why do i get 'omitting directory' when i try to copy a directory
[01:06] <harpreet> Tensei: system>preferences>keyboard
[01:06] <harpreet> hit the "mouse keys" tab
[01:06] <harpreet> uncheck the box "allow to control the pointer using keyboard"
[01:06] <FloodBot1> harpreet: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:06] <smo> Abed /usr/src/linux is just a link of /usr/src/linux-headers-xxxxx
[01:07] <nickrud> Drk_Guy it takes a while; the real fun is identifying and pruning all the stuff you don't need for that machine. You can pare it down quite a bit, and then compilation isn't long at all
[01:07] <Abed> unop i have the headers
[01:07] <IslasCufuego> Blacklight: sure does. However, the accurracy is probably less then 100% on irc right ? :=)
[01:07] <Tensei> harpreet: ya it worked.  dude your the man
[01:07] <Tensei> thanks!
[01:07] <smo> so create the link
[01:07] <Blacklight> lol more like 15%
[01:07] <smo> or directly use the headers..
[01:07] <IslasCufuego> hehe
[01:07] <IslasCufuego> i know
[01:07] <Drk_Guy> nickrud, Can you help me strip my kernel down?
[01:08] <Drk_Guy> nickrud, I want a lighter kernel
[01:08] <unop> Abed, installing that package ensures that the directory is created/symlinked
[01:08] <zcat[1]> Drk_Guy, shouldn't you be running gentoo then? --funroll-loops!
[01:08] <Drk_Guy> nickrud, i've never done this before
[01:08] <Abed> unop how can i install it?
[01:08] <Drk_Guy> zcat[1], gentoo is a kludge
[01:09] <unop> Abed, sudo aptitude install linux-headers linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[01:09] <nickrud> Drk_Guy no, it's not something I'm real strong at. I stopped doing my own around 2.6.3 or so, a few years ago. I'd have to study it all again. And it's not a big deal, just keep your ubuntu kernels. You will learn loads, really
[01:09] <Drk_Guy> nickrud, the only real advantage of compiling custom kernels is speed?
[01:09] <vices> is there cell phone software for linux?
[01:10] <gaelfx> hey, I'm having a problem with my internet connection, it runs about 1/10th of what is does in windows on the same box and I don't have compiz running, anyone have any idea what's going on?
[01:10] <nickrud> Drk_Guy not even that, really. It's more a status thing now, the way the kernel's been modularied
[01:10] <unop> Drk_Guy, compiling your own kernel doesn't necessarily make it faster - you have to customize it for your setup/hardware
[01:10] <Abed> unop i already have them but not linux
[01:10] <zcat[1]> the only advantage of compiling custom kernels is ... ummm... nothing really
[01:10] <AnimatedBox> Does anyone know how I get 64 bit gfxboot themes, or if there even is such a thing? I installed gfxboot and it apparently works, but every theme I throw at it is an "invalid file." OR, can someone find the 64 bit version of grub-gfxboot version 0.97-5 (or higher)?
[01:10]  * Drk_Guy sends kernel dir to .trash
[01:10] <Abed> unop nevermind  i would like to configure the kernel do u know how?
[01:10] <unop> Abed, reinstall them.  sudo aptitude reinstall linux-headers linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[01:10] <Drk_Guy> Hehehe
[01:11] <legend2440> Abed: did you download toshet? is that the one your using?
[01:11] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, It's the same thing
[01:11] <nickrud> "I run a custom kernel, I'm l33t!!"
[01:11] <IslasCufuego> Blacklight: maybe next week you can talk to some _true_ experts in computings
[01:11] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, They're basically images
[01:11] <unop> Abed, why do you need to configure the kernel?
[01:11] <tech0007> i used to compile my own kernel  when it was still 2.2.xx, when my sound device isnt supported yet
[01:11] <zcat[1]> nickrud, --funroll-loops FTW!!!
[01:11] <Abed> legend2440 i use toshset but required kernel toshiba support not enabled.
[01:11] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: are you sure you aren't thinking of splash screens?
[01:11] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, And, you can get that with stock grub, you just need Startup manager
[01:11] <solid_liq> -funroll-loops is not a good optimization flag
[01:11] <nickrud> zcat[1] yeah, yeah, yeah ;)
[01:11] <Abed> unop i just need to do that
[01:11] <Dein> any way to prevent my mouse from going from one monitor to the other without me pressing a key or something? in other words - can i lock my cursor to one screen?
[01:11] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, I'm sure
[01:12] <Abed> unop do u know??
[01:12] <unop> Abed, unless you have a real need to - don't -- it's not something you can just walk through
[01:12] <legend2440> Abed: yes i know. but are you using toshet that you downloaded?
[01:12] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: ok, well, how do I get the message.* files to work with gfxboot? Why would it say "invalid files" for just me?
[01:12] <Abed> lengend2440 i can't use it
[01:12] <Abed> unop don't worry just tell me
[01:12] <IslasCufuego> Blacklight: But they are like "Yawn" .. Integral calculus^foobar .. etc :=) .. extremely bright ones that fall asleep on basic stuff like squarerotts etc etc that the laymen think is "Omg! im the bong:P"
[01:13] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, Startup Manager works fine, no menu.lst editing hassles
[01:13] <legend2440> Abed: ok my point is there is a version of toshet in Synaptics. have you installed that and tried it?
[01:13] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, If you REALLY want the gub-gfxboot that way, get it's sources and compile off
[01:13] <Abed> legend2440 no i used the apt-get
[01:14] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: I would do that, but I can't find the source code for my life. Any help?
[01:14] <Abed> unop plz!!
[01:14] <unop> Abed, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[01:14] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: sadly, startup manager does NOT work fine. It crashes whenever I add anything, which is a different problem I'm. Anyway, startup manager is for the progress bar splash screen. Gfxboot, which I'm working on, is for the grub menu.
[01:14] <legend2440> Abed: thats the same thing , i just didn't know if you were aware it was in synaptic
[01:14] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, sudo apt-get install startup-manager
[01:14] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: I already have startupmanager to know that it crashes when I use it...
[01:15] <gaelfx> can't someone help me with my internet problem?
[01:15] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, I found gfxboot somewhere sometime
[01:15] <IslasCufuego> Blacklight: I have pppxx interfaces on 200 networks... kinda cool :=)
[01:15] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, But can't remember
[01:15] <Abed> so legend2440 wut to do now?
[01:15] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: the one in the repo isn't the latest and is possibly broken for 64 bit.
[01:15] <legend2440> Abed: have you istalled toshutils? its in synaptic also?
[01:15] <IslasCufuego> Blacklight: good thing im nice i bet
[01:15] <legend2440> installed
[01:15] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: there's an enormous threat in the forums about it. Left unresolved.
[01:16] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone use awesome?
[01:16] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: *thread. 62 pages
[01:16] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, I dont get why Startup manager fails
[01:16] <Abed> legend2440
[01:16] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, it works fine here
[01:16] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: let me try to run it in the terminal
[01:16] <Abed> legend2440 yeah i have it now
[01:17] <gaelfx> hey, I'm having a problem with my internet connection, it runs about 1/10th of what is does in windows on the same box and I don't have compiz running, anyone have any idea what's going on?
[01:17] <whta> anyone have a recommendation for an ultraportable notebook that will run ubuntu without wifi problems?
[01:17] <IslasCufuego> Blacklight: knowgaard ?
[01:17] <AMDpenguin> how do i set my cpu scaling ablitys
[01:17] <AMDpenguin> ?
[01:17] <zcat[1]> !info toshutils
[01:18] <Blaqlight> IslasCufuego: you figured out my name... unfortunately to get highlight to work, you must spell it right :P (use tab)
[01:18] <IslasCufuego> Blaqlight: foo
[01:18] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/30432/
[01:19] <Abed> legend2440 when i run lsmod | grep toshiba i got nth and when i run modprobe toshiba i got FATAL: Error inserting toshiba (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/char/toshiba.ko): No such device
[01:19] <IslasCufuego> elijahlofgren: PowerofTen!
[01:19] <elijahlofgren> IslasCufuego: ?
[01:19] <IslasCufuego> You should have proper abilities
[01:19] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, I think you're running a wrong command
[01:20] <IslasCufuego> elijahlofgren: think nothing of it.
[01:20] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, gnome-splashscreen-manager manages the splash when you login
[01:20] <legend2440> Abed: what do you get with        sudo  /usr/bin/toshset -bluetooth on                 in terminal?
[01:21] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: ok, well that crashes too. What's the command for startup manager?
[01:21] <Abed> legend2440 required kernel toshiba support not enabled.
[01:21] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/startupmanager
[01:22] <IslasCufuego> elijahlofgren: welcome btw
[01:22] <legend2440> Abed: in terminal     uname -a     what kernel is listed?
[01:22] <gaelfx> hey, I'm having a problem with my internet connection, it runs about 1/10th of what is does in windows on the same box and I don't have compiz running, anyone have any idea what's going on?
[01:22] <Abed> legend2440 Linux abed-laptop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[01:22] <whta> i have crackly sound in pidgin. everything else is fine. what could cause this?
[01:23] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: ok found it. Give me a sec
[01:23] <legend2440> Abed: can i pm?
[01:23] <Drk_Guy> whta, pidgin's sound support is very limited, it's not an ubuntu issue ;)=
[01:24] <Abed> lengend2440 yeah
[01:24] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: Well, that fixed my usplash problem. Thank you
[01:24] <AnimatedBox> lemme go test it.
[01:24] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, :)
[01:24] <AMDpenguin> does ubuntu support HT?
[01:25] <Cabs> does anyone know how to install bibble on ubuntu? i tried sudo aptitude install and it listed no package
[01:25] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy:  but, there's nothing in there about gfxboot themes.
[01:25] <AnimatedBox> :(
[01:25] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, Wait...
[01:25] <ryot-desktop> g
[01:25] <Mr_Bad_News> when i boot up my screen goes blank and doest show up until gdm and when i try to use my tty* the text is huge and if i leave and come back the screen is  blank
[01:25] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, It's on the 2nd tab
[01:25] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone know whats the cause and how to fix it?
[01:26] <Cabs> Mr_Bad_News: you think you can help me
[01:26] <nickrud> Cabs that's proprietary software, you'll have to get it from the owner
[01:26] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: I still don't see anything about gfxboot. background images don't count as gfxboot themes.
[01:26] <Drk_Guy> They are
[01:26] <Kane1> hey guys, transmission bittorrent will sometimes minimize and i cant see it, how do i get it back up on screen?
[01:27] <Cabs> nickrud: is there a linux version?
[01:27] <gaelfx> agh help my intarnets are brokeded!
[01:27] <nickrud> Cabs according to their home page there is. What it requires, I don't know
[01:27] <zcat[1]> Mr_Bad_News, edit grub's config (sudu nano /boot/grub/menu.lst) and take 'splash' off the kernel options
[01:27] <harpreet> gaelfx: ?
[01:27] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: gfxboot is high resolution, 24-bit and animated. Is that what you're thinking of? Because I thought grub backgrounds had to be 640 by 480 14 color images.
[01:27] <Cabs> nickrud: thankyou
[01:28] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, Nope, They have their resolution, but Grub can go 1024*768 24 bit
[01:28] <gaelfx> harpreet: sorry, but stupidity seems to be the only thing that gets anyone's attention around here
[01:28] <Mr_Bad_News> zcat[1], is there a way to get the dapper splash back with the scrolling text or maybe gentoo's boot up or something similar?
[01:28] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, at least that's the limit here
[01:28] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: it won't accept my message.* files.
[01:28] <Drk_Guy> Mr_Bad_News, gnome-look.org may have something
[01:28] <zcat[1]> Mr_Bad_News, not sure. probably.
[01:28] <Kane1> transmission bittorrent client minimizes but it isnt in the panel, how do i get it back?
[01:29] <AlmightyCthulhu> what's a good app for recording audio/video from a webcam?
[01:29] <vices> whats the command to have an apt-get install get all dependencies as well?
[01:29] <harpreet> gaelfx: haha not really u can just ask the question and if someone knows they will respond just as i do
[01:29] <gaelfx> Kane1: how do you know it's only minimized? is the process still in system monitor?
[01:29] <Odd-rationale> Kane1: is in the the notification tray? do you have a notification tray on the panel?
[01:29] <Kane1> gaelfx, i kno because when i click on it again it says its already running and i see it in the system tray
[01:30] <Kane1> or processes or whatever its called in linux
[01:30] <gaelfx> harpreet: yeah, but I tried stating it the good way, nobody even tells me that they don't know the answer
[01:30] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, Just put the xpm's into slpashimages dir
[01:30] <Drk_Guy> xpm.gz
[01:30] <Abed> i can't find /usr/src/linux
[01:30] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: They ARENT xpms...
[01:30] <Mr_Bad_News> zcat[1], will this fix the text being to big issue?
[01:30] <harpreet> gaelfx: i just came back so i dont even know wat the problem is can u explain
[01:30] <Drk_Guy> Then you need grub-gfxboot
[01:30] <Drk_Guy> lol
[01:30] <Kane1> odd rationale, yep notifcation tray
[01:30] <Kane1> lol thanks alot
[01:30] <zcat[1]> gaelfx, I don't know the answer. Perhaps something's breaking pmtu discovery, setting a slightly smaller mtu might help..
[01:30] <Odd-rationale> Kane1: np.
[01:31] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: which I already have. Now what?
[01:31] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, Follow your favourite guide
[01:31] <Drk_Guy> lol
[01:31] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, I won't experiment with that like a year ago or so
[01:32] <Tensei> is there a way to extract .zip files in ubuntu?
[01:32] <zcat[1]> !info zip | Tensei
[01:32] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: I've already followed the instructions. Grub has been updated and it's in the menu,lst and all that business. The farthest I got was "invalid file format"
[01:32] <Tensei> thank you
[01:32] <Zoot> How do I set the basic barebones X server (vnc'ing in) to place a window randomly instead of waiting for me to place it?
[01:32] <Mr_Bad_News> zcat[1], can i change the color of the text in menu.1st
[01:32] <AnimatedBox> when booting up, it says my message.* files are invalid
[01:32] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, :/
[01:32] <zcat[1]> actually I think unzip is a seperate package..
[01:32] <Mr_Bad_News> # Pretty colours
[01:32] <Mr_Bad_News> color cyan/blue white/blue
[01:32] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, As i told you, i don't remember
[01:32] <Mr_Bad_News> what is that for?
[01:33] <Tensei> !info zip
[01:33] <AnimatedBox> Drk_Guy: ok. Well, thanks for what you've done so far.
[01:33] <Drk_Guy> AnimatedBox, NP
[01:33] <Drk_Guy> Going to play CoD 4
[01:33] <Drk_Guy> Laterrzzz
[01:33] <Tensei> zcat[1]: ok that didn't pull anything up
[01:33] <zcat[1]> Mr_Bad_News, boot menu. normally hidden, you get three seconds to press esc and you see it
[01:33] <Abed> how can i configure the kernel?
[01:33] <harpreet> Tensei u using terminal ?
[01:33] <zcat[1]> !info unzip
[01:33] <Odd-rationale> you know. they should add an apturl in the info factoids.... :D
[01:34] <zcat[1]> does fileroller candle zips?
[01:34] <zcat[1]> *handle
[01:34] <harpreet> Tensei: go to synaptic package manager and search" there you will find the package and click on mark for install and apply thats it
[01:34] <Odd-rationale> zcat[1]: yes
[01:34] <Mr_Bad_News> what does the 'quiet' option do zcat[1] ?
[01:34] <Odd-rationale> zcat[1]: if you install zip and unzip...
[01:34] <crdlb> zcat[1]: it can handle just about anything as long as the command line utility for it is installed
[01:35] <zcat[1]> Mr_Bad_News, tells the kernel not spew out meaningless crap at boot time
[01:35] <Mr_Bad_News> should i uncomment that if i want to see it?
[01:35] <Mr_Bad_News> and how do i change the text color
[01:36] <Inuzuka_Skysword> Alright, it didn't work
[01:36] <Tensei> harpreet: it's already marked green
[01:36] <Inuzuka_Skysword> if you guys are still here
[01:37] <Ahadiel> Tensei, Have you tried double-clicking the .zip file?
[01:37] <zcat[1]> afk getting coffee
[01:37] <Mr_Bad_News> zcat[1], what do i do if it doesnt boot up
[01:37] <Mr_Bad_News> will i be able to mv menu.lst.back  to menu.lst?
[01:38] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: Changing splash/quiet stuff won't break anything.  But you hit 'e' at GRUB and can edit the lines there.
[01:38] <Mr_Bad_News> ok
[01:38] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: Thats a way you can "try out" booting without quiet/splash if you want, don't change your menu.lst, just edit it temporarily
[01:39] <Zoot> How do I set the basic barebones X server (vnc'ing in) to place a window randomly instead of waiting for me to place it?
[01:39] <Mr_Bad_News> what do i do about the text being to big on tty1-6
[01:39] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: add vga=ask, and then try some options
[01:39] <zcat[1]> how big is big? 80x24 is 'normal'
[01:39] <pub> has anyone used teamspeak on ubuntu ?
[01:39] <nickrud> Zoot use a window manager other than twm?
[01:39] <Zoot> Must I?
[01:39] <Mr_Bad_News> vga=ask to menu.lst does it matter where?
[01:39] <Tensei> ahadiel: it says command line error
[01:39] <zcat[1]> pub, no but my 11yo is on mumble right now...
[01:40] <Ahadiel> Tensei, pastebin the error
[01:40] <Mr_Bad_News> zcat[1], i can only see the prompt
[01:40] <Ahadiel> !paste | Tensei
[01:40] <MachinTrucChose> Hi...what can I use to make a Remote Desktop connection to a Windows XP computer? I can't install anything on the XP computer, it's remote.
[01:40] <Odd-rationale> Zoot: there are other lightweight Wm like openbox or awesome
[01:40] <nickrud> Zoot I think that's a 'feature' of twm. There are a lot of very light ones you can use
[01:40] <Mr_Bad_News> Flannel, where do i put vga=ask?
[01:40] <gaelfx_> gah, Ubuntu needs better pppoe integration
[01:40] <zcat[1]> MachinTrucChose, Remote Desktop Viewer ?
[01:40] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: in the kernel options.  Just tack it on at the end
[01:40] <pub> zcat can it connect to ventrilo and teamspeak servers?
[01:41] <Fieldy> MachinTrucChose: rdesktop is nice
[01:41] <gaelfx_> even windows graphically notifies when it's connected
[01:41] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: To make it permanent, add it to your #kopt line
[01:41] <MachinTrucChose> Thanks.
[01:41] <nickrud> gaelfx heh.  sudo pppoeconf , and use sudo pon/poff to start stop I think
[01:41] <Mr_Bad_News> id kind of like a boot up or splash like gentoo's
[01:41] <Mr_Bad_News> is that possible?
[01:41] <zcat[1]> wait, no.. that's VNC... try Terminal Server Client
[01:41] <Cabs> i just downloaded bibble from here http://download.bibblelabs.com/confirm.html and i got the file, thing is i dont know how to install it i think it involves compiling it can someone help me, i have never downloaded and installed a program outside the repositories or that isnt self installing
[01:41] <nickrud> gaelfx but setting up the modem/router to cover pppoe authentication, and a dhcp/static address on the computer works well
[01:41] <gaelfx_> nickrud: I know that, but I mean that it doesn't graphical notify or anything like that in regards to the status of a pppoe connection
[01:42] <zcat[1]> Terminal Server Client is what Windows calls remote desktop, I think
[01:42] <Mr_Bad_News> kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=30f6eb12-b4fd-453e-851d-2a4634cc69bf ro vga=ask
[01:42] <Mr_Bad_News>   
[01:42] <Mr_Bad_News> like that Flannel ?
[01:42] <Tensei> ahadiel: done
[01:42] <Ahadiel> Tensei, Now paste the URL in the channel -_-
[01:42] <nickrud> gaelfx ah, that. Never considered it
[01:42] <Tensei> http://paste.ubuntu.com/30434/

[01:42] <gaelfx_> nickrud: apparently no one else did either
[01:43] <nickrud> gaelfx ;)
[01:43] <harpreet> Tensei: p7zip package from repositories
[01:43] <gaelfx_> nickrud: wish I had the skills to help with that sort of thing, but my computerfu is lacking
[01:43] <Tensei> harpreet: that's ok... i'm thinking the file is currupted... apperntly ubuntu 8.04 comes with a zip tool
[01:43] <Ahadiel> Tensei, Perhaps you're zip is corrupted? Try redownloading it.
[01:43] <harpreet> Tensei: yes
[01:43] <Sylphid> how can I install a package ignoring its dependencies?
[01:43] <Tensei> ahadiel: lol... good call i was thinking the same think...
[01:44] <Odd-rationale> the same think?
[01:44] <remu> hey everyone, I'm having nvidia driver issues. I had no problems earlier when I was using the latest nvidia drivers through envyng, but then after a restart, I'm greeted with a blank screen at login. I've tried numerous things, including putting "Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"" in xorg, as well as trying to use the restricted drivers manager instead of envyng, as well as installing the driver using nvidia's script. I even reinstal
[01:44] <remu> led ubuntu but the problem still remains
[01:44] <gaelfx_> hey, everyone, I need help fixing my net connection, it runs at about 1/10th the speed compared to windows, and compiz isn't running, so I don't kow what the problem is, can anyone help please?
[01:44] <harpreet> Sylphid: it depends on something so ...those things have to be there
[01:44] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: yes
[01:44] <Vezir> in e16 howew do i switch themes
[01:44] <Tensei> ahadiel: i am trying to download the zip from this site.. http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/663
[01:44] <zcat[1]> Spent last night putting 'static' entries into my DHCP server.. now all my gear has fixed DHCP-allocated addresses!
[01:44] <Cabs> i just downloaded bibble from here http://download.bibblelabs.com/confirm.html and i got the file, thing is i dont know how to install it i think it involves compiling it can someone help me, i have never downloaded and installed a program outside the repositories or that isnt self installing
[01:44] <sfire> zcat[1]: I do the same thing here :)
[01:44] <Tensei> harpreet: i am trying to download the zip from this site.. http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/663
[01:44] <remu> its been about a day or two since this problem started occuring, and I just really don't like using the vesa drivers. I've posted on the forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=868553
[01:44] <zcat[1]> no more running nmap and trying to guess what's what when the IP's change
[01:44] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i change the text size and color for tty1-6
[01:45] <Tensei> harpreet: the source code
[01:45] <gaelfx_> Cabs: did it come with a Readme file/
[01:45] <Mr_Bad_News> once i log in its so big i cant see it
[01:45] <Ahadiel> Tensei, I'll give it a shot
[01:45] <remu> I was wondering if there is someone here that could help me possibly fix this issue, its quite annoying
[01:45] <nickrud> Sylphid you can use  dpkg on the deb itself, like  dpkg -i --force-depends package.deb , but it's probably going to break
[01:45] <Tensei> ahadiel: thank you.. it's the source code
[01:45] <Mr_Bad_News> its like its for a 1600X1600 screen or something
[01:45] <Sylphid> nickrud, thanks
[01:45] <Cabs> gaelfx_: nope its an rpm file
[01:46] <gaelfx_> Cabs: they had no Deb file there/
[01:46] <Ahadiel> Tensei, Yeah, I get the same error as you. Maybe the auther expects you to have ALL the archives downloaded before extracting?
[01:46] <Cabs> i was reading one of the forums google pages for bibble
[01:46] <Cabs> gaelfx_: let me check
[01:46] <Tensei> ahadiel: possibly!
[01:46] <Ahadiel> Tensei, I'm thinking that the auther decided to just split 1 archive into x parts.
[01:46] <ryot-desktop> hey every one
[01:46] <zakke> how do i switch channel in irssi?
[01:46] <nickrud> Cabs get a tar.gz or deb, stay away from rpms. They can be altered, but they often break systems
[01:46] <gaelfx_> Cabs: Ubuntu is debian-based, so if they have a deb file, it should work fine, but I don't know how to install rpms in Ubuntu
[01:46] <Odd-rationale> zakke: alt + number
[01:46] <Mr_Bad_News> git is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.

[01:47] <Cabs> gaelfx_ and nickrud http://download.bibblelabs.com/
[01:47] <zcat[1]> just remember ubuntu isn't always binary-compatabl with debian :)
[01:47] <nickrud> Cabs gotta give them personal info, not going to
[01:47] <ryot-desktop> This really isn't a ubuntu question as much as a question that simply involves ubuntu. So I have a trashed hard drive. Im going to plug it up ot my ubuntu box, but I need a data recoveryprogram that runs in ubuntu. Any suggestions?
[01:47] <Cabs> ok yes i found there is a debian one
[01:47] <Cabs> bbs
[01:47]  * Cabs downloads deb file
[01:48] <harpreet> Tensei:
[01:48] <gaelfx_> Cabs: ;) there ya go
[01:48] <tech0007> ryot-desktop: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
[01:48] <zcat[1]> ryot-desktop, the last 'trashed' drive I recovered (windows user dropped his laptop) read just fine in ubuntu, no recovery required.. It had trouble reading a few bad sectors but otherwise was fine.
[01:48] <harpreet> Tensei: try this : wget -c http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/php101-14.zip
[01:48] <gaelfx_> Cabs: also, make sure that it's the right one for your system, if you're using AMD64 ubuntu, you'll want that package, if x86... you get the idea
[01:49] <harpreet> Tensei: in terminal
[01:49] <phuzzie> does Xorg get stupidly large for anyone else? like having a resident size of 2.4g?
[01:49] <ryot-desktop> what happened to me. I was using a dell xps m1530 and i hit the home button aka the "self destruct computer button"
[01:49] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone know how to fix tty1-6 font size
[01:49] <ryot-desktop> and it screwed up my master boot record
[01:49] <ryot-desktop> im hoping i can go and recover my data (mostly a bunch of digital art i did)
[01:50] <gaelfx_> hey, everyone, I need help fixing my net connection, it runs at about 1/10th the speed compared to windows, and compiz isn't running, so I don't kow what the problem is, can anyone help please?
[01:50] <smokie> guys, i have a fresh install and its not letting me su, @Authentication failure@
[01:50] <smokie> how come?
[01:50] <beastie> hey, nm-applet isn't showing the "VPN" menu, even after i installed the openvpn plugin and rebooted as well
[01:50] <smokie> isnt the main first users password is the root password?
[01:50] <Flannel> smokie: no
[01:50] <zcat[1]> ryot-desktop, gpart (not gparted) might help.. you run that, it figures out how the partition table should look, and then you recreate that with fdisk
[01:50] <tech0007> ryot-desktop: if its jst the mbr, your data shld be safe
[01:50] <Flannel> smokie: Ubuntu has the root account locked, it has no password (and can't log in)
[01:50] <ryot-desktop> i really hope so
[01:50] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i get git working?
[01:50] <smokie> Flannel, so how can i install things when i ssh to it?
[01:51] <Cabs> gaelfx_: what do i do once i got the deb file?
[01:51] <tech0007> ryot-desktop: if your harddrive is failing,that's somethin else
[01:51] <zcat[1]> ryot-desktop, assuming you mean 'mbr and partition table' -- if it's just the MBR it should come up as a slave drive no problem at all
[01:51] <gaelfx_> Flannel: I thought he said he was trying to SU, so it should be that password
[01:51] <gaelfx_> Cabs: open it up! you should be able to just double-click it
[01:51] <Cabs> sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture <<filename>>.deb?
[01:51] <smokie> gaelfx_, yeah, im trying to su
[01:51] <__yy> what's the apt-whatever command I can use to print out all of the files installed by a package?
[01:51] <smokie> gaelfx_, not ssh to root or something like that
[01:51] <gaelfx_> smokie: you don't have capslock on or anything like that?
[01:51] <Flannel> gaelfx_: su doesn't work.
[01:52] <Flannel> smokie: su will not work.  You need to use sudo instead
[01:52] <smokie> gaelfx_, no i dont
[01:52] <Cabs> gaelfx_: no compiling, no udo dpkg -i --force-architecture <<filename>>.deb ? just double click
[01:52] <gaelfx_> Flannel: ah, gotcha
[01:52] <gaelfx_> smokie: use sudo
[01:52] <smokie> Flannel, just sudo and it will ask for the passwd?
[01:52] <gaelfx_> smokie: it's super user do
[01:52] <zcat[1]> !sudo
[01:52] <Flannel> smokie: su uses the (non-existant) password.  Use sudo, yes.  If you want a terminal, `sudo -i` but you probably don't need one.
[01:52] <Flannel> er, non-existant root password.
[01:52] <ryot-desktop> tech its not the hard drive that failed, some one just pressed the wrong button and every thing went to hell and back -.-
[01:53] <zcat[1]> normally it's either 'sudo command' to run a command, or 'sudo -i' to get a shell (not recommended.. but better than setting a root password)
[01:53] <thumus> where can i get a definitive guide to using wine on ubuntu 8.04 32-bit
[01:53] <Flannel> __yy: dpkg -L [package]
[01:53] <smokie> alright thanks guys
[01:53] <smokie> is this only with the latest ubuntu?
[01:53] <gaelfx_> Cabs: are you using AMD64 Ubuntu?
[01:53] <Flannel> smokie: No, Ubuntu has always been this way.
[01:53] <smokie> cool
[01:53] <Flannel> smokie: Are you ssh'd into an Ubuntu machine?
[01:53] <smokie> i never noticed that
[01:53] <__yy> Flannel: can I do it for packages from the repos that I have not installed?
[01:53] <smokie> Flannel, yeah, i am
[01:54] <smokie> i just finished installing it like an hour ago
[01:54] <tech0007> ryot-desktop: you can mount/access the harddrive when you boot into ubuntu
[01:54] <smokie> so still going heheh
[01:54] <harpreet> Tensei: its a corrupted file
[01:54] <smokie> im sure it will need few installs still thats why i asked how to do it using ssh
[01:54] <zcat[1]> ryot-desktop, what laptop was this ? I'll be sure never to buy one...
[01:54] <smokie> just one last thing, what firewall is used by ubuntu?
[01:54] <Kyle__> !alternate
[01:54] <ryot-desktop> It was a xps m1530 -.-
[01:55] <gaelfx_> Cabs: did it go ok?
[01:55] <Kyle__> does that mean server?
[01:55] <tech0007> smokie: iptables
[01:55] <Flannel> __yy: No, you need to use apt-file for that
[01:55] <smokie> tech0007, does that have a GUI interface in the desktop?
[01:55] <Flannel> __yy: (or just look at packages.ubuntu.com, at the second search box)
[01:56] <__yy> Flannel: ok, thanks
[01:56] <tech0007> smokie: install firestarter for the iptables gui
[01:56] <ryot-desktop> from dell...It comes with a "feature" which boots a sort of mini os kinda thing where you can play dvds with out booting os. Apprently if you uninstall that feature and press the button it decides to reinstall its happy little 5 mB self right over the start of your partitions!
[01:56] <tech0007> ryot-desktop: is that media-direct thingy
[01:56] <smokie> tech0007, thanks
[01:56] <ryot-desktop> yeah it is tech
[01:56] <thumus> is fedora better than ubuntu?
[01:57] <Odd-rationale> !best | thumus
[01:57] <ryot-desktop> at least i know my computer has a self destruct button now!
[01:57] <harpreet> thumus thats not comparable
[01:57] <burkesbythebay> I am wanting to put the games in the applications mwnu on to the desktop is there a quick way of doing this
[01:57] <Odd-rationale> thumus: of course, we are biased here... ;)
[01:57] <harpreet> haha Odd-rationale
[01:58] <gaelfx_> burkesbythebay: right click the games icon and select 'add to panel'
[01:58] <gaelfx_> burkesbythebay: nevermind, read that wrong
[01:59] <gaelfx_> hey, I can't open openoffice, here's what I get when I run oowriter in terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30438/
[01:59] <nickrud> burkesbythebay the only method I know is to drag each menu entry to the desktop individually
[02:00] <gaelfx_> burkesbythebay: go to /usr the games folder is there, you should be able to make a link to it and set that on the desktop
[02:01] <gaelfx_> burkesbythebay: you might have to do it in terminal though, using sudo
[02:02] <_ba> anyone had good luck with vnc working before a login to console with default vnc that comes on ubuntu?
[02:02] <Cabs> thanx, gaelfx_
[02:02] <Cabs> thanx, gaelfx_its up and running
[02:02] <gaelfx_> Cabs: ah, good, so it worked?
[02:03] <gaelfx_> Cabs: glad to have helped
[02:03] <MooCows> Where do you setup folders to share ?
[02:03] <bobertdos> gaelfx_: You don't have any Java Virtual Machines installed?
[02:03] <Cabs> gaelfx_: like a charm...can wait to use it for my new series
[02:03] <bobertdos> MooCows: using Samba?
[02:03] <Miranda> hi, I am updating my harddrive from windows 98 and I am wondering if using ubuntu will harm the programs that I would use?
[02:03] <gaelfx_> bobertdos: I guess not? how do I find that info?
[02:04] <gaelfx_> Cabs: cool. have fun man
[02:04] <MooCows> bobertdos, yes, where do I find that
[02:04] <gaelfx_> Miranda: it shouldn't hurt anything
[02:04] <Cabs> gaelfx_:will do...pura vida
[02:04] <MooCows> bobertdos, I thought there was a GUI for it
[02:04] <jepes> does anyone know any shell based irc client that can be downloaded and run without admin priviledges? i will be using it thru a ssh shell.
[02:05] <AlmightyCthulhu> WOOHOOO!!!!
[02:05] <AlmightyCthulhu> official reply from Foxconn!
[02:05] <AlmightyCthulhu> wonder if they're gonna sue me
[02:05] <bobertdos> gaelfx_: In the terminal, type: sudo update-java-alternatives -l If nothing shows up, or if it say command not found, you probably don't have any.
[02:05] <AlmightyCthulhu> B-)
[02:05] <gaelfx_> AlmightyCthulhu: have they reversed their decision, or still being crappy?
[02:05] <snarkster> why would foxconn sue you?
[02:05] <Miranda> gaelfx_: because I need to update a harddrive in order to install a computer card. and it only is compatible with windows 2000 or above. but I don't want to pay 300 for an OS in order to install a computer card. :-( any help would be appreciated.
[02:06] <AlmightyCthulhu> CarBrunning from Foxconn told Custom PC that 'Foxconn is currently investigating the problem,' and promised an official response on Monday. Brunning also says that there's probably a reasonable explanation for it, and confirmed that Foxconn is still committed to Linux users. He plans to test the board's BIOS on various Linux Configurations over the weekend. 'The largest manufacturer in the world saying "get lost"? I don't thi
[02:06] <AlmightyCthulhu> nk so,' said Brunning. 'We are huge, and we're not that stupid.'
[02:06] <bobertdos> MooCows: There probably is somewhere, but I can't remember off the top of my head what it would be. All of the Samba essentials can be installed via Synaptic.

[02:06] <MooCows> bobertdos, ok when it is installed, how do I configure it?
[02:07] <Miranda> not harddrive sorry...OS
[02:07] <tech0007> MooCows: sharing folders in gnome?

[02:07] <bobertdos> !samba | MooCows
[02:07] <AlmightyCthulhu> "but we will have the bios fix sometime next week and at the same time a relook at how we are testing are boards with linux."
[02:07] <AlmightyCthulhu> we won!!!
[02:07] <gaelfx_> bobertdos: the test came up negative, care to steer me in the right direction? (wondering why this doesn't work since I've updated through Synaptic?)
[02:07] <tech0007> MooCows: if u're in gnome, right click the folder then sharing options
[02:08] <Miranda> gaelfx_: an air card for a wireless card
[02:08] <bobertdos> MooCows: The easiest thing to do is to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to share your home directory.
[02:08] <Miranda> sorry...
[02:08] <Miranda> a driver for a wireless card
[02:08] <Abidel> How or were do we share the home directory
[02:08] <MooCows> tech0007, I did, but it wont let me have permission to share
[02:09] <bobertdos> gaelfx_: Well, the simplest thing to try would be to install sun-java6-jre, and then make sure it's set to your default.
[02:09] <MooCows> You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.
[02:09] <KentonSmith> Hi, room. Question: Why do I get a "No setup signature found..." message when I boot the Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD, and is there anything I can do to get around it?
[02:09] <gaelfx_> Miranda: well, if you want it to work in Windows 98, there might be a way to do that, but you'll probably need to do a lot of googling
[02:09] <tech0007> MooCows: try 'gksu nautilus' then try sharing
[02:09] <Miranda> it's only compatible with windows 2000 and XP
[02:09] <gaelfx_> Miranda: but it might work in Ubuntu, can you tell me who made the wireless card?
[02:10] <Miranda> Sprint
[02:10] <gaelfx_> Miranda: haha, yeah, I know, but sometimes Microsoft lies about things like that, it's good for business
[02:10] <Abidel> Please explain 'gksu nautilus' more.
[02:10] <gaelfx_> has anyone used a Sprint wireless card in Ubuntu?
[02:11] <Miranda> it's manufactured by sprint
[02:11] <Odd-rationale> Abidel: it starts nautilus with root privileges...
[02:11] <Flannel> Abidel: It starts nautilus (your file browser) with graphical sudo, allowing you elevated privledges
[02:11] <MooCows> I can use "guest share" so that any computer doesn't have to have a password ?
[02:11] <gaelfx_> !gksu | Abidel
[02:11] <KentonSmith> *tap* *tap* Is this thing on? ;-)
[02:11] <MooCows> to view it
[02:11] <tech0007> MooCows: yep
[02:11] <Flannel> KentonSmith: You get it when you boot?
[02:11] <KentonSmith> Yup
[02:11] <MooCows> tech0007, now the other windows computers should just be able to use \\computername
[02:11] <MooCows> ?
[02:12] <Flannel> KentonSmith: Have you checked the CD for defects?
[02:12] <gaelfx_> Miranda: ok, hang on, let me try to find out if it will work in Ubuntu
[02:12] <tech0007> MooCows: they shld
[02:12] <MooCows> OK, let me go check.
[02:12] <Miranda> ok
[02:12] <guido> kde is giving me this error "Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3" any thoughts on what could it be?
[02:12] <Abidel> MooCows asked my question about accesssng my share windows files. I also want to acess my home network
[02:12] <KentonSmith> Flannel: I couldn't get that far when I booted. But I did bring the CD up under Windoze, and it came up OK.
[02:13] <Odd-rationale> Miranda: is it usb?
[02:13] <KentonSmith> Flannel: Actually, now that I think of it, I was able to get eh initial welcome screen when I booted the CD. It was when I tried to check the CD that it failed.
[02:14] <KentonSmith> (eh = the)
[02:14] <Flannel> KentonSmith: There you go.  It sounds like a bad burn, or a bad ISO (and a good burn)
[02:14] <Miranda> Odd-rationale: no, PCI
[02:14] <burkesbythebay> thanks
[02:14] <Odd-rationale> Miranda: are you wired right now?

[02:15] <Odd-rationale> tech0007: killall gnome-panel
[02:15] <KentonSmith> Flannel: Really? I've been reading about it having something to do with an old flavor of GRUB. But nothing I've read said anything about what to do about it.

[02:16] <Flannel> KentonSmith: It might be something else, but if the cD doesn't check out, that's your first issue.  GRUB doesn't boot the liveCD, so I'm not really sure how it would be GRUB related

[02:16] <Impaler> is it to do with gstreamer
[02:17] <Odd-rationale> Miranda: ok. plug the wireless card in and can you copy the output of "lspci | less Network"?
[02:17] <Abidel> thanks for the samba info, will check link now
[02:17] <gaelfx_> Impaler: is it out of sync inother progs?
[02:17] <KentonSmith> Flannel: That makes sense. I think. (I'm a Linux newbie.)
[02:17] <Odd-rationale> tech0007: did you try the "gegls from outer space"?
[02:18] <bobertdos> Abidel,MooCows: If you read the section on File Sharing Basics halfway down the SettingUpSamba guide in the wiki, that has the part on sharing Home.
[02:18] <tech0007> Odd-rationale: what will that thing do?
[02:18] <gaelfx_> Miranda: or is yours a different card?
[02:18] <Odd-rationale> tech0007: heh. find out... ( i won't tell you how to stop this one... ;) )
[02:18] <Abidel> ty
[02:18] <Miranda> Odd-rationale: I don't have it hooked up yet...I am in the process of d/l ubuntu in order to u/l to a disk and burn.
[02:18] <Miranda> gaelfx_: no it's the same card
[02:18] <Miranda> gaelfx_: thanks
[02:18] <smokie> the ubuntu is not responding to the shutdown or reboot commands, it just sits there till i turn t off manually, any reason why its doing that?
[02:18] <Odd-rationale> Miranda: oh. ok.
[02:18] <tech0007> Odd-rationale: ok, whats the point in askin...will try it out myself haha
[02:19] <gaelfx_> Miranda: no problem, I hope it works for you
[02:19] <Odd-rationale> tech0007: do it in the run dialog...
[02:19] <Miranda> gaelfx_: well do you think elderly people can use ubuntu, because that's who I am installing it for.
[02:19] <Odd-rationale> tech0007: without the quotes. of course
[02:19] <Mr_Bad_News> can anyone help me with awesome
[02:19] <gaelfx_> Miranda: well, I tried to get my Mom to use it, but she wouldn't try to learn
[02:20] <Miranda> gaelfx_: she uses windows?
[02:20] <gaelfx_> Miranda: but I think if they are willing to try, it should be able to do what they want
[02:20] <Odd-rationale> Mr_Bad_News: awesome wm ?
[02:20] <Miranda> gaelfx_: okay. thanks
[02:20] <gaelfx_> Miranda: yeah, but like I said, she didn't even want to try to use Linux, she was already convinced she wouldn't be able to learn it at all
[02:21] <Miranda> gaelfx_: so the set up is exactly like windows?
[02:21] <haris> hey guys is there a nice guide on how to play counterstrike source in ubuntu?
[02:21] <Stargaters> Hey, I don't really have a question that's directed towards ubuntu, but if anyone would happen to know anything about Polycom MG323 server frontcards, or anything of the sort.. please query me!
[02:21] <CShadowRun> haris appdb.winehq.com
[02:21] <KentonSmith> General question: Is there a way to verify the integrity of the iso image I downloaded before burning it to a CD? For example, is there a MDSUM file (or equal) available?
[02:21] <gaelfx_> Miranda: not exactly, but it's pretty straightforward
[02:21] <dokwerk> Miranda, I'm 46 old woman, I could
[02:22] <k-cody-beater> cocks.
[02:22] <gaelfx_> Miranda: try using the liveCD version first to see if the person can use it, that should tell you whether or not it will work for him or her
[02:22] <tech0007> KentonSmith: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto
[02:22] <Odd-rationale> tech0007: you still there???
[02:22] <CShadowRun> k-cody-beater you are made of them.
[02:22] <Stargaters> Anyone...?
[02:22] <Miranda> dokwerk: probably in the eighties :-)
[02:22] <k-cody-beater> boy you know it
[02:22] <scifiguy951> i have a question about finding old files from the internet (firefox) can anyone help me?
[02:23] <Miranda> gaelfx_: livecd? is that where you dl, burn and install, right?
[02:23] <dokwerk> oh, ok :-)
[02:23] <KentonSmith> Tech0007: Thanks! I'll check it out.
[02:23] <__yy_> !ask | scifiguy951
[02:24] <tech0007> Odd-rationale: yep, discovered more easter eggs...they're real cool
[02:24] <gaelfx_> Miranda: don't install, when you put the CD in and then restart the computer, it says something like "Try ubuntu"
[02:24] <Odd-rationale> tech0007: oh. ok. i though the gegls had you by now...
[02:24] <scifiguy951> how can i get old files from firefox? is there a way to see what passwords were and stuff like that?
[02:24] <gaelfx_> Miranda: it will be a little slower than if you install, but it should work mostly the same
[02:24] <Miranda> gaelfx_: can you give me the link for d/l the version?
[02:25] <tech0007> scifiguy951: tools->page info in firefox
[02:25] <Stargaters> Anyone know if there's a chan on here I could get the answer to a question about a video front card?
[02:25] <Odd-rationale> tech0007: how about the "Require Quarter" for gdm ?
[02:25] <gaelfx_> Miranda: it should be on any CD that you have for Ubuntu
[02:25] <Miranda> ok
[02:25] <usr13> scifiguy951: Edit / Preferences / Security / Show Passwords
[02:26] <gaelfx_> Miranda: just try starting the computer with the CD in already, and Ubuntu should come up
[02:26] <Miranda> gaelfx_: but I need to download it first I need the d/l link
[02:27] <gaelfx_> can anyone help me figure out what's wrong with my internet connection? it runs at 1/10th what it should, I'm not running compiz, so I don't know what the problem is
[02:27] <gaelfx_> Miranda: ok, one sec
[02:27] <gaelfx_> Miranda: do you use NitTorrent?
[02:28] <gaelfx_> *BitTorrent
[02:28] <dokwerk> gaelfx_, have you tried to restart your router or pc?
[02:28] <Miranda> gaelfx_: no. can you do right click "save as"?
[02:28] <wwbwwb> how to use mdf
[02:29] <gaelfx_> dokwerk: numerous times, no router, static ip and pppoe is how I connect
[02:29] <gaelfx_> wwbwwb: you need to convert it to ISO or try using nero I think
[02:29] <teq> is there any webpage like download.com for ubuntu?
[02:29] <wwbwwb> how
[02:29] <scifiguy951> what is a good keylogger for ubuntu?
[02:29] <gaelfx_> Miranda: yes, here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu
[02:30] <Miranda> gaelfx_: thanks so it will take 1 or 2 disks?
[02:30] <wwbwwb> thankyou how to convert it
[02:30] <tech0007> wwbwwb: install mdf2iso
[02:30] <Flannel> teq: Check out synaptic package manager (in admin)
[02:30] <gaelfx_> Miranda: only one
[02:30] <Odd-rationale> teq: packages.ubuntu.com ?
[02:30] <scifiguy951> what is a good keylogger for ubuntu?
[02:30] <gaelfx_> tech0007: much better :D good call
[02:30] <Miranda> gaelfx_: awesome...whenever I have problems, I will come back here and ask. :-)
[02:30] <Miranda> gaelfx_: thank you very much and have a good day!
[02:30] <gaelfx_> Miranda: haha, good, hope it works out for you
[02:30] <teq> Flannel: yeah i know synaptic, but i want a web with news, reviews, new progs, etc..
[02:31] <wwbwwb> thanks tech0007
[02:31] <Flannel> teq: There won't be new programs in the repos for Hardy, new program only happen between releases (Hardy -> Intrepid, for instance)
[02:31] <KenBW2> im following the tutorial here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ to get ubuntu running from a persistent USB Install. But it's not persistent. Why?
[02:31] <gaelfx_> dokwerk: any idea why this might be happening?
[02:32] <teq> Flannel: not new packages, but something for entertainment
[02:32] <dokwerk> no, sorry
[02:32] <scifiguy951> where would my "keymap" be?
[02:32] <gaelfx_> dokwerk: it worked fine a few days ago, but now, it's being sluggish just as though compiz were running
[02:32] <gway9000> what is the preferred method of mounting a windows shared file (samba) a drive?
[02:32] <gway9000> as a

[02:32] <teq> Flannel: like a page with games for ubuntu or reviews about programs and blah blah
[02:32] <gaelfx_> dokwerk: ok, thanks anyways
[02:32] <k-cody-beater> your mom is the preferred method of mounting anything?
[02:32]  * k-cody-beater runs
[02:32] <teq> Flannel: im talking about a website
[02:33] <asdubbale23> a
[02:33] <usr13> gway9000: What type of ISP connection do you have?
[02:33] <Flannel> teq: the games are in the repositories, why do you need a website to tell you whats in the rpeos?
[02:33] <usr13> gway9000: What speed is it supposed to be?
[02:33] <Flannel> k-cody-beater: please don't.
[02:33] <k-cody-beater> lmaaaao.
[02:33] <teq> Flannel: to check out some reviews
[02:33] <gway9000> k-cody-beater: check your name what would you know abount mounting anything you should be beating something no?

[02:34] <Kattman> Ted Do a search in the ubuntu fourm for cool apps
[02:34] <usr13> gaelfx_: What type of ISP connection do you have?
[02:34] <k-cody-beater> The name k- and -beater are attached to my name because I play an IRC game.
[02:34] <teq> Flannel: ??
[02:34] <Flannel> teq: No, I don't know of any.
[02:34] <mguthriejr> how do i move files into a folder that requires root priveleges
[02:34] <gaelfx_> usr13: pppoe through static ip, I'm in China

[02:35] <usr13> gaelfx_: What speed is it supposed to be?
[02:35] <k-cody-beater> Gway: Your spelling is utterly atrocious.
[02:35] <k-cody-beater> Stop trying.
[02:35] <Flannel> !sudo | mguthriejr
[02:35] <gaelfx_> usr13: well, I'm not sure because I'm connected through my school, and normally I can upload at at least 90/100, but it's more like 10/20
[02:35] <Flannel> k-cody-beater: please keep it on topic, and polite, thanks.

[02:36] <Mr_Bad_News> thanks Flannel for your help earlier
[02:36] <k-cody-beater> <.<
[02:36] <scifiguy951> where are my keymap files?
[02:36] <Mr_Bad_News> that fixed both problems
[02:36] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: No problem
[02:36] <Mr_Bad_News> it also sped up boot time
[02:36] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: to make them permanent, you need to change the #kopt line (don't uncomment, just change it)
[02:36] <gway9000> k-cody-beater: that ok you are repressed i think yjis is a sight for assisting others not to tease or otherwise be little - i would bet that you beat your girlfriend or wife loser
[02:36] <Mr_Bad_News> it use to take like 12 -13 minutes to boot now its below four
[02:37] <k-cody-beater> God you're arrogant.
[02:37] <k-cody-beater> Okay, dude.
[02:37] <k-cody-beater> Ever heard of Harry Potter? Yes?

[02:37] <Mr_Bad_News>         modkey = {"Mod4"}
[02:38] <usr13> gaelfx_: YOu could use tcptump to see if there is more traffic than you realize.
[02:38] <Mr_Bad_News> oh ok

[02:39] <usr13> gaelfx_:  Just look at it yourself.
[02:39] <k-cody-beater> Aren't you like, twelve?
[02:39] <Stargaters> If you were to sell a Polycom video frontcard, what would you ask for it as a decent price...?

[02:40] <gaelfx_> wwbwwb: and why did you put mei at the end of that?
[02:40] <KentonSmith> tech0007, Flannel: That was it. The MD5 sum failed on the iso image that I burned to CD. Thanks, tech0007, for directing me to the right page. In my defense ;-) - I generally look for MD5 sums when I download things. I just didn't see any reference to one on the page I originally downloaded from. Thanks again!
[02:40] <Flannel> KentonSmith: glad you got it working
[02:40] <gaelfx_> wwbwwb: ni hui shuo pu tong hua ma?

[02:41] <KentonSmith> Flannel: I don't know that that will get it working, but it sure is a good start!
[02:41] <KentonSmith> OK... Off to download a(nother) iso image.

[02:47] <gaelfx_> usr13: tcpdump says no suitable device found
[02:48] <gaelfx_> usr13: sorry, but I'm not sure what args I should give it
[02:48] <usr13> gaelfx_: What device are you using?
[02:48] <usr13> gaelfx_: eth0?
[02:49] <gaelfx_> yeah
[02:49] <usr13> gaelfx_: What devices do you have connected to live networks?
[02:49] <gaelfx_> usr13: yeah
[02:49] <Guest21581> DCC SEND FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
[02:49] <sugi> is there channel for ubuntu gaming?
[02:50] <usr13> gaelfx_: tcpdump -i eth0
[02:50] <gaelfx_> usr13: just eth0, my wireless is disabled
[02:50] <usr13> gaelfx_: see:  man tcpdump
[02:51] <usr13> gaelfx_: ifconfig    will show what active network devices you have up right now.
[02:51] <bastid_raZor> if i'm trying to remove scrollkeeper it wants to uninstall many other applications like update-manger ubuntu-desktop etc.. how else do i get rid of scrollkeeper?
[02:51] <sugi> i have p4 1.8 ghz, 1gb ddr, and ati 9600 se.  Can I play any games in wine on this machine?
[02:51] <Flannel> bastid_raZor: ubuntu-desktop isn't important.  update-manager is.  Why do you need to remove scrollkeeper?
[02:51] <gaelfx_> usr13: I know ifconfig, but it doesn't seem to tell me anything about my connection
[02:51] <Dr_willis_> sugi,  would depend on the game..  I play many of the popcap games with wine, on lesser machines
[02:52] <guido> sugi: short answer "depends"
[02:52] <Newuser1111> I have a question.
[02:52] <zv0> shooosh! that is great!!
[02:52] <zv0> THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU
[02:52] <gregbrady> I have a USB 2.0 to RS232 adapter here and I'm trying to get it to work with Ubuntu.  I've read that it should work out of the box and of course it did not.  Now, it came with a CD and some source code.  I've never successfully been able to compile code before and when I try to execute a make command all I get is a huge output of errors.  Sorry to be so vague here but I don't know where else to turn.
[02:52] <bastid_raZor> Flannel; when i install anything i get bombarded with parse errors concerning scrollkeeper. reading what scrollkeeper actually is .. i've determined i'll never use it
[02:52] <Newuser1111> When I try to uninstall/reinstall Firefox, why does it remove Songbird?
[02:52] <gaelfx_> !zh | wwbwwb
[02:52] <mguthriejr> hey guys when doing hardware testing ubuntu recognizes my wireless card but it never gives me any options for using my wireless network it is an atheros card are there any options im all out of ideas
[02:53] <sugi> Dr_willis, guido, starcraft? diablo 2? morrowind? old oblivion?  Those games I would really like to play.  I can't even get EMULATORS to work (super nintendo and sega)
[02:53] <Gigs> Does anyone use their Blackberry with Hardy?   The bcharge utility seems to no longer set my USB to 500 milliamps..  as it charges very slowly now, even though bcharge seems to succeed.
[02:53] <Wolfman2000> ...always wondered about the reset by peer thing.
[02:53] <Dr_willis_> sugi,  ive ran snes and sega emulators on much lesser machines..  sounds to me like your ati drivers may not be usign the dri/fglrx drivers.
[02:54] <bahadunn> gway9000: yeah but batty boy makes me think you are from the caribbean
[02:54] <Flannel> bastid_raZor: Synaptic uses scrollkeeper.
[02:54] <sugi> Dr_willis. i just use hardware drivers from Ubuntu it's self.  is that bad?
[02:54] <bastid_raZor> Flannel; okay, in that case, let me get the parse error and see if i can get rid of that .. one sec and i'll give you a c/p of one line.
[02:54] <swamptin> hey lads, I'm trying to configure my system right. Just wondering, 1)can I used a list of commands in a bash(?) file to set everything up for me right (like start a terminal and auto fullscreen it as soon as I login) or start pidgin or something similar before I see my desktop. And 2) Where's the best place to ask these sorts of questions?
[02:55] <Flannel> bastid_raZor: pastebin it
[02:55] <Flannel> !paste | bastid_raZor
[02:55] <gway9000> bahadunn: you would be correct
[02:56] <cognitiaclaeves> anyone here use nullmailer?  I'm trying to set it up, and it's causing me to pull my hair out...
[02:57] <sugi> Dr_willis, how much of a lesser machine have you ran emulators on?
[02:57] <Flannel> cognitiaclaeves: I use esmtp and it's never given me problems
[02:57] <ttwaro> Hi, all. Running Ubuntu 8.04.1 32-bit. When I press ctrl-alt-f1 I get a black screen, no prompt (same for f2-f6). ctrl-alt-f7 get me back to the gui. Anyone know how to get ctrl-alt-f1 to display?
[02:57] <Gigs> sugi dosbox is excellent
[02:58] <Gigs> runs any old dos games just fine on anything newer than say a PII
[02:58] <Crewsr3> I'm having trouble with firefox on Hardy and I was thinking of doing a clean install  My home drive is on a different partition.  How can I make sure that the clean install does not wip my home drive?
[02:58] <sugi> Gigs, I haven't tried dosbox out yet.  There might be a few games I would like to try out on dosbox.... maybe
[02:58] <cognitiaclaeves> flannel: I might be able to work wtih esmtp: it will relay a message to an STMP server, right?
[02:59] <Gigs> well it can't help you with the ones that were windows based
[02:59] <Daisuke_Ido> Gigs: i wouldn't go that far - i needed a wee bit more power to run later dos games (later ultimas, gabriel knight: sins of the fathers, etc)
[02:59] <guido> sugi definetly check The Dig if you are in the mood for dos games
[02:59] <cognitiaclaeves> Flannel: ... but what does it do when the system tries to send mail to a local account?
[02:59] <Gigs> Daisuke_Ido: maybe a few
[02:59] <Daisuke_Ido> Gigs: but a later P3 on, should run perfectly now that they've implemented (and perfected, mostly) the dynamic core
[02:59] <tech0007> Crewsr3: dont choose 'guided-entire disk' in partition phase
[03:00] <guido> what video card do you have sugi?
[03:00] <mrtin> how can i do to play sounds in different media player? i dont have sound with flash while im playin sounds with audacious... do i have to install some packages??
[03:00] <Ryan_Delaney> Is this the best place to ask short newbie questions about ubuntu?
[03:00] <sugi> guido, I would really like to try Morrowind.  I have dieing to play that game for a while. or starcraft, or diablo 2 would be cool.
[03:00] <Crewsr3> tech0007, that is it
[03:00] <Daisuke_Ido> Gigs: oh definitely, there aren't too many that have issues like that, and that was only true back in the .6x line,
[03:00] <wweasel> Ryan_Delaney: Yep!
[03:00] <Dr_willis_> !appdb | sugi
[03:00] <legend2440> !paste > me
[03:00] <sugi> guido: ATi Radeon 9600 SE
[03:00] <Daisuke_Ido> Sugar^: every one of those is great under wine (i play all three)
[03:00] <Ryan_Delaney> wweasel: ok thanks, I'll idle here
[03:00] <Dr_willis_> sugi,  the ati card - may be your biggest limitation
[03:00] <icesword> legend2440, lol?
[03:00] <Flannel> cognitiaclaeves: pass it through to procmail: http://esmtp.sourceforge.net/manual.html#interfacing-to-mail-delivery-agents
[03:01] <Crewsr3> tech0007, it is my understanding that my setting will stick what will will I keep and what will I need to reinstall?
[03:01] <wweasel> Ryan_Delaney: In fact (now that I'm no longer really a newbie), I find that people tend to ignore my questions because by the time I bring them here they're complex and frustrating :)
[03:01] <Ryan_Delaney> wweasel: Haha nice. I used linux for maybe 4 months now. so I still have some duh questions that are too easy to merit a thread on ubuntuforums
[03:02] <ai3gtmc> im on ubuntu hardy and I just installed LAMP, apache works but when i open a php file it downloads it
[03:02] <sugi> Dr_willis ouch! really?  because of a weak drivers or just bad video card?  I know it's a SE (it was so cheap at the time)  I do have an nvidia GeFoce FX 5200 Card 256 MB PCI, if that might be better??!?!
[03:02] <ai3gtmc> when i opened httpd.conf it's empty
[03:02] <Flannel> ai3gtmc: Did you follow everything on this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[03:02] <Daisuke_Ido> Ryan_Delaney: the only dumb question is the one that doesn't get asked - the ubuntu channels are great places to hang out for general info :)
[03:02] <Flannel> ai3gtmc: Ubuntu doesn't use httpd.conf
[03:02] <Dr_willis_> sugi,  last i worked with wine and ati cards.. the nvidia support worked much better.
[03:02] <ai3gtmc> Flannel,so how do i fix it?
[03:03] <Ryan_Delaney> Daisuke_Ido: Great thanks. My first attempt installing linux was redhat back in 2002, and any question I asked anywhere I got mocked and told to RTFM, which were all full of jargon. ubuntu community is great for beginners
[03:03] <guido> is there a particular reason why you are not using the restricted drivers, sugi?
[03:03] <swamptin> mrtin: that may be due to OSS instead of ALSA architecture for the sound. All I really know is that OSS thinks like a man (one job at a time) and ALSA like a woman (keeps going till it has a heart attack and panics)
[03:03] <Flannel> ai3gtmc: Did you follow everything on that page?
[03:03] <sugi> Dr_willis, I don't even know how much MB the ATI card has.... Man, I hate ATI >.<
[03:03] <Daisuke_Ido> Ryan_Delaney: bout the same as my first attempt - was with fedora core 2 :\
[03:03] <ai3gtmc> flannel what page?
[03:03] <Flannel> ai3gtmc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[03:04] <ai3gtmc> ok ty
[03:04] <debiannoobie> x
[03:04] <swamptin> damnit. He left before I could pretend to help.
[03:04] <spoo1> is there something like deepfreez linux for debian based?
[03:04] <ianm_> ﻿anyone on a laptop want to help out an open source app developer briefly?  /j #alps
[03:04] <sugi> guido: .....I guess, I didn't know I should.  Is it bad I am using the drivers from ubuntu's hardware drivers?
[03:04] <swamptin> s/he/she/it/etc
[03:04] <Flannel> ianm_: Please don't spam here
[03:04] <bastid_raZor> Flannel;  >> /var/lib/scrollkeeper/it/scrollkeeper_extended_cl.xml:4799: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document <<
[03:04] <guido> sugi: not "bad".. just less "good"
[03:05] <sugi> guido, I have always had trouble getting drivers for ati 9600 se....
[03:05] <Daisuke_Ido> sugi, guido: i think there's a mistake - it's called "Hardware Drivers" as of Hardy - I think you're both talking about the same thing :)
[03:05] <spoo1> is there something like deepfreez linux for debian based?
[03:05] <Flannel> spoo1: What is deepfreez linux?
[03:05] <Daisuke_Ido> !repeat | spoo1
[03:05] <CShadowRun> Can anyone quickly help me install amsn from source? the version in the repositorys is broken.
[03:05] <bastid_raZor> Flannel; i couldn't find any application to install that would duplicate the error, that is from a previous apt-get .
[03:05] <Flannel> bastid_raZor: Sounds like theres an error in that document.  You could try opening it up and taking a look.  Also search LP for bugs
[03:06] <wweasel> CShadowRun: I'll start you off.
[03:06] <CShadowRun> wweasel ty, pm? :)
[03:06] <russK> help a ubuntu noob (I use gentoo) ... how do I 'apt-get install xxdiff' ?? i need to enable 'universe'?
[03:06] <guido> Daisuke_Ido: thanks for the heads up
[03:06] <sugi> Daisuke_Ido: yea, I have been talking about the "Hardware Drivers" of Hardy.  is there something else I should be getting?
[03:06] <Daisuke_Ido> sugi: no need
[03:06] <bastid_raZor> Flannel; okay, there are about 20 to 25 of those lines that scroll by when it does happen.
[03:06] <wweasel> CShadowRun: Nah, right here. I think technically we're suppose to give support in channel.
[03:06] <CShadowRun> ok :)
[03:06] <wweasel> CShadowRun: Though I have nothign really against PM.
[03:06] <sugi> Daisuke_Ido: what do you like? as in your name Daisuke? what's ido?
[03:06] <wweasel> CShadowRun: Have you downloaded the latest source you wanted?
[03:07] <CShadowRun> wweasel it's just easier since the channel is easy
[03:07] <Daisuke_Ido> sugi: character from the battle angel alita manga :)
[03:07] <CShadowRun> wweasel yea i downloaded it
[03:07] <Flannel> bastid_raZor: Copy them to a text file and check out LP in the mean time for a bug
[03:07] <bastid_raZor> Flannel; okay. thanks.
[03:07] <wweasel> CShadowRun: kcool
[03:07] <Flannel> russK: Universe is likely already installed.  just sudo apt-get install xxdiff
[03:07] <Flannel> !synaptic | russK
[03:07] <wweasel> CShadowRun: If you've never built something from source, you'll need to "sudo apt-get install build-essentials"
[03:07] <Flannel> russK: Or use a graphical one, like Synaptic (see that page)
[03:08] <sugi> Daisuke_ido ahhhhh Gantz is better :p
[03:08] <CShadowRun> wweasel yea i got that :)
[03:08] <russK> Flannel:  it said Couldn't find package xxdiff
[03:08] <alexjb> hello all
[03:08] <djjason_> does anyone know if it is possible to get thunderbird to work with the globalmenu-applet
[03:08] <wweasel> CShadowRun: Generally it's as simple as running "./configure" then "make" then "sudo make install"
[03:08] <peeps> hello
[03:08] <sugi> So, what else could be my problem for playing emulators of super nintendo and sega being really really slow?
[03:08] <CShadowRun> wweasel ah cool ty :)
[03:08] <Flannel> russK: What version of Ubuntu are you on?
[03:08] <peeps> is ubuntu mobile stable to use on a daily basis?
[03:09] <Flannel> !away > ka2u
[03:09] <wweasel> CShadowRun: Depending on the output of "./configure" - often you'll need to install a few "SOMETHING-dev" packages
[03:09] <gregbrady> Anyone know how to get an Adesso 1000 Contact Barcode Scanner to work?
[03:09] <LSD|Ninja> sugi: 3D is all set up and working properly, right?
[03:09] <CShadowRun> wweasel nope lol, gone straight through. ty :D
[03:09] <spoo1> Flannel: Deep Freeze Linux (from what I understand) is for suse based OS... "Faronics Deep Freeze Linux helps eliminate workstation damage and  downtime by making computer configurations indestructible. " <---- according to http://www.faronics.com/html/dflinux.asp
[03:09] <CShadowRun> wweasel and it fixed the bug i had in the amsn in the repos, yay \o/
[03:09] <sugi> peeps: what could you even use mobile ubuntu for?  smartphoneS?  is phones included?
[03:09] <guido> does anyone know how to embed a terminal in kde 3.5?
[03:09] <swamptin> russK: just above synaptic should be a "sources" program
[03:09] <wweasel> CShadowRun: Yay! I use Pidgin, but I've used aMSN in the past.
[03:09] <bastid_raZor> Flannel; i found the reason.. there is a > in the middle of that file where it shouldn't be.
[03:09] <sugi> LSD|Ninja: as in my ati drivers from "Hardware Drivers" as of Hardy, then yes!
[03:10] <Daisuke_Ido> sugi: subnotebooks, like that Asus EEE, the MSI Wind, etc, etc
[03:10] <CShadowRun> wweasel i use IRC for everything (via bitlbee) i just need amsn for the file sending/webcam support which pidgin doesn't have :p
[03:10] <russK> Flannel:  I'm running 8.0.x ... LiveCD ... I'm trying synaptic from System menu now ...
[03:10] <peeps> sugi, i have an htc mogul with windows mobile on it, and its a horrid phone OS
[03:10] <Flannel> russK: Ah.  You'll need to update first then.  sudo apt-get update (or hit 'reload in synaptic')
[03:10] <Flannel> russK: That way it polls the repos to know what software it has
[03:10] <almostdvs> how do i list all installed kernels from terminal?
[03:11] <icesword> uname -r?
[03:11] <EDocToor> I Bought a "ZUNE" MP3 player,, does anyone have it working with Ubuntu 8.04
[03:11] <sugi> Daisuke_Ido: wait what?  I lost our conversation
[03:11] <Daisuke_Ido> sugi: n/m i lost it too :)
[03:11] <almostdvs> no that's just the one i'm using
[03:11] <Flannel> almostdvs: dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2
[03:11] <almostdvs> EDocToor: nope
[03:12] <sugi> peeps: I have centro with palm os, it's oh kay, but I am just bugging bored of it already.  I tried treolauncher, but it doesn't have enough features. could we pop ubuntu mobile on it?
[03:12] <ryot-desktop> hey again guys
[03:12] <EDocToor> Almostdvs, 80 GBs and I cant use it... darn... thanks for the prompt reply
[03:12] <sugi> Daisuke_Ido: what are you talking about? msi wind? asus eep? subnotebooks? eewww
[03:12] <almostdvs> Flannel: awesome now what's the comand to remove one of those kernels
[03:13] <sugi> LSD|Ninja: anything else?
[03:13] <Flannel> almostdvs: sudo apt-get remove --purge [package name]
[03:13] <ianm_> Flannel: not sure how it's spam if I need ubuntu users... I'm having trouble with some hardware (ALPS touchpad) and I want to figure out if Synaptic touchpads work differently
[03:13] <sugi> flannel, what's --purge?
[03:13] <Flannel> ianm_: Try #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support only
[03:14] <ryot-desktop> aww man cs3 still doesnt work in wine
[03:14] <Flannel> sugi: purge removes config files as well ("complete removal" in synaptic)
[03:14] <EDocToor> Flannel... thanks
[03:14] <ai3gtmc> help i cant connect to the internet on my ubuntu hardy
[03:14] <Dr_willis_> sugi,  purge will NOT remove 'user' config files. :)  ie: ones in /home/YourUsername/
[03:14] <almostdvs> eDocToor: it's got surprizingly tough security
[03:14] <ai3gtmc> i think it doesnt detect my network.. im on vmware
[03:15] <`Matir> ai3gtmc, your ubuntu install is in a virtual machine?
[03:15] <ai3gtmc> yes
[03:15] <sugi> flannel, Dr_willis, wow, didn't know that thanks
[03:15] <almostdvs> EDocToor: i believe some people have got it to connect from an virtual installation but it runs at usb 1.0 so it's amazinglyslow
[03:15] <ai3gtmc> it used to work, its the ubuntu server version, but after i install xubuntu desktop it wont work anymore
[03:16] <`Matir> ai3gtmc, only thing you did was install the desktop environment?
[03:16] <ai3gtmc> yes
[03:16] <`Matir> ai3gtmc, what does ifconfig show?
[03:16] <ai3gtmc> lo only
[03:16] <ai3gtmc> no eth0
[03:16] <`Matir> does it show it with ifconfig -a?
[03:17] <EDocToor> I have installed XP, Ubuntu and another linux to my hard drive ,,, both linux's are sharing the same swap... I love it... the only problem is PC devices.. and printers
[03:17] <ai3gtmc> `Matir,nop
[03:17] <simara> silas otero?
[03:17] <EDocToor> almostdvs,, it all very fast
[03:17] <silas_> ?
[03:17] <almostdvs> huh?
[03:18] <simara> are you silas otero?
[03:18] <silas_> I am not, sorry.
[03:18] <XTron> I am having trouble hosting a battle.net game within Warcraft III.  I can do it no problem on the same system from my XP partition.  i don't have any software firewalls installed within ubuntu unless one comes installed by default
[03:18] <EDocToor> I have installed XP, Ubuntu and another linux to my hard drive ,,, both linux's are sharing the same swap... I love it... the only problem is PC devices.. and printers almostdvs,, it all very fast
[03:18] <simara> :(
[03:18] <simara> lol
[03:19] <ai3gtmc> `Matir,you know how to fix this? i think my eth0 got deleted?
[03:19] <silas_> So this support channel, you have a problem, you ask, you get responses?
[03:19] <fritzophrenic> hello...I'm trying to install my Lexmark Z23 printer...I downloaded a driver installer from Lexmark's website, but it is for Red Hat...I found these instructions: http://kemal.bioeng-network.org/2006/02/13/setup-lexmark-z23-z35-2x-and-3x-series-printers-on-ubuntu-breezy-badger-510/ and installed "alien" as suggested, but am wondering if there is an easier way, and what these instructions are doing anyway
[03:19] <EDocToor> I Bought a "ZUNE" 80 GB MP3 player,, does anyone have it working with Ubuntu 8.04
[03:20] <XTron> how do i go about opening up port 6112 on this system for both TCP and UDP?
[03:20] <Dr_willis_> Wow. I cant even rember the # of lexmark Z23 (or 25, or similer) ive thrown out. or given away.. heh.. :)
[03:20] <Flannel> EDocToor: Not yet.  Rockbox for zune is apparently close though.
[03:20] <`Matir> ai3gtmc, I forget which kernel module supports the virtual networking driver, but I would check if that is loaded
[03:21] <debian_akroyd> hi all
[03:21] <ai3gtmc> `Matir,what do you mean?
[03:21] <ziploc1> Hey, I may sound really stupid here, but how can I get a file named install.sh to run?
[03:21] <Dr_willis_> ziploc1,  sh ./install.sh
[03:21] <nycste> ziploc1 i think from terminal type ./install.sh
[03:21] <Dr_willis_> is one way
[03:21] <debian_akroyd> ziploc1, open the terminal, cd into the directory then type ./install.sh
[03:21] <`Matir> ai3gtmc, let me check something, one second
[03:21] <fritzophrenic> Dr_willis_ I know, it sucks...but I can't exactly afford a new printer right now
[03:21] <ai3gtmc> `Matir,oh ok:) thanks
[03:21] <ziploc1> aright then, thanks
[03:22] <nycste> listen to second guy i mistyped
[03:22] <debian_akroyd> ziploc1, chances are that the install.sh file requires admin privilages, so try sudo sh install.sh
[03:22] <nycste> whats diff btw gksudo and sudo
[03:22] <Flannel> nycste: gksu (and gksudo) are for graphical programs
[03:22] <dianapo> what can i use to restore an IPOD
[03:22] <silas_> Any reason why a USB Audio headset wouldn't work? i mean i plug it into a diffrent USB Port and it plays the welcome message but when changing the device in the sound properties, nothing :(
[03:22] <kindofabuzz> gksuo is if you want to run a program with a gui as sudo
[03:23] <EDocToor> zIPlOC  sh install.sh
[03:23] <XTron> ﻿how do i go about opening up port 6112 on this system for both TCP and UDP?
[03:23] <debian_akroyd> nycste, they say that it had some thing to do with the permissions where the permissions for a given file would mysteriously change if run by sudo. I have never experienced this issue though
[03:23] <`Matir> ai3gtmc, check if vmxnet or vlance shows in lsmod
[03:23] <Killer--Tux> what up you all
[03:23] <Flannel> debian_akroyd: things in your homedir become owned by root, and yes it happens
[03:23] <Killer--Tux> hey is there a good program to crack myspace passwords
[03:24] <nycste> yea just reading a thread on ubuntu forums some guy saying never run sudo unless its 100percent mandatory and instead use gksudo
[03:24] <ai3gtmc> `Matir,nope
[03:24] <ai3gtmc> :(
[03:24] <debian_akroyd> Flannel, ah ok..guess im one of the lucky ones (knock on wood)
[03:24] <Flannel> Killer--Tux: Things like that are offtopic here.  Please take it elsewhere.
[03:24] <Killer--Tux> since i forgot mine and for some reason i can reset with my email
[03:24] <`Matir> ai3gtmc, reinstall the vmware utilities
[03:24] <Killer--Tux> sorry  where can i ask
[03:24] <Killer--Tux> ?!?
[03:25] <debian_akroyd> Killer--Tux, hacker? lol
[03:25] <ai3gtmc> `Matir,? how do I do that?
[03:25] <Gigs> Does anyone use their Blackberry with Hardy?   The bcharge utility seems to no longer set my USB to 500 milliamps..  as it charges very slowly now, even though bcharge seems to succeed.
[03:25] <debian_akroyd> Killer--Tux, there is an ubuntu offtopic room somewhere around here
[03:25] <natalie> flannel and les:  this is FAJALOU.  my usplash screen wasn't working (again) with thta new one, so i installed Startupmanager again and it works, and it didn't mess with the menu.lst like i thought it would
[03:26] <XTron> ﻿how do i go about opening up port 6112 on this system for both TCP and UDP?
[03:26] <yurimxpxman> I'm trying to upgrade a system to 8.04, but it keeps getting stuck at "Generating locales.. en_AU.UTF-8". Any ideas?
[03:26] <`Matir> ai3gtmc, should be an option from within vmware to load the virtual disc with the tools on it, then you run the installer off the disc... not really sure, haven't used vmware in a long time
[03:26] <ai3gtmc> `Matir,btwehow do I restart the network?
[03:27] <ai3gtmc> `Matir,im having problems installing the tools it says I need C compiler
[03:27] <debian_akroyd> yurimxpxman, are you sure its stuck? can you switch into another tty console?
[03:27] <Entropy51423> What can be determined by the output of Wireshark?
[03:27] <legend2440> yurimxpxman: http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/ubuntu-upgrade-from-gutsy-to-hardy-problem-fix/
[03:28] <EDocToor> XTron,, I don't know,,, but I am wait for your answer. as that is a very interesting question,,,  * "   how do i go about opening up port 6112 on this system for both TCP and UDP?      "  *,, P.S I know that PUREHATE wrote a firewall... if you know Purehate...
[03:28] <XTron> right
[03:28] <silas_> To change an audio device in ubuntu you simply change it in right click properties on the sound icon right?
[03:28] <chalcedony> where is a good place to download hardy live cd?
[03:28] <beefcircuit> hello Id like to install libdvdcss
[03:28] <Koori> ubuntu.com
[03:29] <XTron> frustrating because this room is 95% geared towards helping utterly newbie questions =/
[03:29] <Flannel> chalcedony: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[03:29] <`Matir> ai3gtmc, http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_newguest_tools_linux.html
[03:29] <Entropy51423> Chalcedony: physically or software?
[03:29] <Flannel> !firewall | XTron
[03:29] <ziploc1> ok, i still can't get my install.sh to run >.<
[03:29] <scribe05> looking for video monitor help
[03:29] <Yud_Zroc> whats a good way to explain "live cd" to the "windows cult"
[03:29] <debian_akroyd> silas_, system -> preferences -> sound   then go select the card you want gnome to use
[03:29] <Flannel> Yud_Zroc: You just have to explain it the long way (a CD that you boot to instead of the HDD)
[03:29] <Koori> It's an OS that doesn't touch your harddrive.. That's the best I can come up with
[03:29] <komputes_> can I add a CD rom to sources.list without knowing its exact name?
[03:29] <Yud_Zroc> ziploc1: is it an exucutable
[03:29] <scribe05> I've added a new larger monitor and my display does not look right
[03:29] <debian_akroyd> silas_, the way you suggested would just adjust the volume for the one card\
[03:29] <XTron> flannel, thanks
[03:30] <scribe05> looks stretched
[03:30] <EDocToor> ziploc1 try # sudo sh install.sh
[03:30] <ziploc1> no it's a shell
[03:30] <Flannel> komputes_: sudo apt-cdrom add
[03:30] <chalcedony> Entropy51423 1. my router died. 2. it needs ubuntu 3 i'm on vista with this laptop and i have NO idea in windows, i NEVER ran windows
[03:30] <Flannel> komputes_: adding it your sources.list actually won't add it properly.  You need to use apt-cdrom
[03:30] <komputes_> Flannel: with it in the drive
[03:30] <Flannel> komputes_: yes
[03:30] <komputes_> thanks
[03:30] <Entropy51423> In the CD drive and use the installer
[03:30] <Yud_Zroc> it is kinda sad i was in the windows channel and most of their devs use linux
[03:31] <ziploc1> EDocToor, I put that in and it doesn't confirm or anyhting, I get a new line
[03:31] <Entropy51423> After putting it in the CD drive restart
[03:31] <EDocToor> ziploc1... sorry
[03:31] <zv0> chalcedony.. ya shieekh?!
[03:31] <ziploc1> =/
[03:31] <silas_> debian_akroyd: so if i was to use the Usb Audio i've done it correctly? http://openservltd.com:7331/temp/Screenshot-Volume%20Control%20Preferences.png
[03:31] <ziploc1> thanks anyway
[03:31] <Entropy51423> It should pick it up and boot off of it or ask you which you want to put off of
[03:32] <EDocToor> ziploc1 On the new line it is prompting you for your ROOT  password.. I think
[03:32] <debian_akroyd> silas_, that just tells gnomes mixer which audio card you want to adjust the volume on...the way to correctly switch it is the way i suggested earlier
[03:32] <Entropy51423> Then you could use it as a Live CD or Partition your hard drive as a dual-boot(It is super easy, the hardest part is waiting for the Partition)
[03:32] <Yud_Zroc> can someone tell me about something like vmware...a betteer program to use
[03:32] <ziploc1> oh ok
[03:32] <ai3gtmc> help me please.. I can't connect to the internet.. ifconfig shows nothing about eth0
[03:33] <EDocToor> ziploc1 if it don't work ,, tell me and I'll search for your answer
[03:33] <Entropy51423> VM is about as good as it gets, but Quemu is pretty good, but slower. Those are the only ones I have experience with
[03:33] <natalie> aig3tmc what about iwconfig
[03:33] <ianm_> ai3gtmc: wireless or wired?
[03:33] <ziploc1> well, i just typed it in, but do i need a prefi?
[03:33] <debian_akroyd> debian_akroyd, hates qemu
[03:33] <ai3gtmc> ianm_,wired
[03:33] <scribe05> looking for monitor help...my new display looks stretched out.
[03:34] <ziploc1> change the resolution
[03:34] <EDocToor> ziploc1 are you going to be around for  10 minutes
[03:34] <ziploc1> yeah
[03:34] <Entropy51423> Set it to a different resolution
[03:34] <EDocToor> zip brb
[03:34] <ziploc1> sure sure
[03:34] <natalie> !explain | scribe5
[03:34] <Entropy51423> I believe a larger number
[03:34] <natalie> !aks | scribe5
[03:34] <natalie> !ask | scribe5
[03:34] <silas_> debian_akroyd: All the options in the system pref sound are set to usb-audio, does it require system reboot or should it be working :(?
[03:35] <debian_akroyd> silas_, if i remember right, i ended up rebooting gnome, but not rebooting the system
[03:35] <Entropy51423> Any one experienced in Wireshark please IM me, I mean knows how to use pretty well, not just a days experience
[03:35] <silas_> debian_akroyd: And to reboot gnome i...?
[03:36] <debian_akroyd> silas_, ctrl + alt + backspace

[03:39] <scribe05> !patience
[03:39] <gregbrady> I'm really struggling with a printer installation here.  It is a bit unusual and was wondering if someone could help out here.
[03:39] <Entropy51423> I have been trying to get answers for two days, but there are logins in the Wireshark IRC, but they haven't responded ever to anything
[03:39] <alexjb> anyone have any ideas?
[03:39] <EDocToor> ziploc1 sh
[03:39] <EDocToor>  sh [options] [file [arguments] ]
[03:39] <EDocToor> The standard Unix shell, a command interpreter into which all other commands are entered. On modern versions of Linux, this is just another name for the bash shell. For more information, see
[03:40] <debian_akroyd> Entropy51423, did you try googling it?
[03:40] <ziploc1> uh ok..
[03:40] <Entropy51423> I was refering to the Wireshark IRC, not here I have only asked twice, just now
[03:40] <ziploc1> but do you know how to execute it?
[03:40] <debian_akroyd> oh
[03:41] <silas_> debian_akroyd: It didn't work, it's really frustrating... if i click the test button it kills my ears but it works... though VLC and other media players still not working
[03:41] <]grimm[> Is there a way to disable shadows for a given window when compositing is enabled in metacity?
[03:41] <EDocToor> ziploc1... I am still searching
[03:42] <ziploc1> oh ok, don't let me bug you
[03:42] <kevinO> how do i make a partition (fat32) show up under my computer?
[03:42] <Flannel> Entropy51423: Usually its best to wait 15-20 minutes at least. Enough time for new people to join/wakeup/etc
[03:42] <teq> kevinO: fdisk?
[03:43] <chalcedony> Entropy51423 wireshark is good and pretty well documented
[03:43] <snowman> hay i have a webcam i used on windows now im useing linux  can someone help me please
[03:43] <teq> snowman: state your problem
[03:43] <snowman> webcam
[03:43] <teq> snowman: what about that
[03:44] <snowman> can you use it on linux
[03:44] <debian_akroyd> bahaha
[03:44] <kevinO> tek, i set it up as /windows when i installed ubuntu, how would fdisk help?
[03:44] <teq> snowman: have u tried plugging it?
[03:44] <debian_akroyd> snowman, well plug it in and try it out...
[03:44] <EDocToor> ziploc1,,, the best that I could find what using sh to execute a ". run" file ... for example: "   sh  ws-1.0-BirthDay-Reliz.run "
[03:44] <kindofabuzz> how would i change in gnome the default program to open a pdf from evince to xpdf?
[03:44] <teq> lol yea
[03:44] <EDocToor> ziploc1.. thats sorry but thats all I have
[03:45] <ziploc1> if it helps though, there is also an executable file in one of the folders that will not work. It has a padlock icon in the top right.
[03:45] <Entropy51423> Flannel: The same 10 people have been logged in for 2 days straight, unresponsive, almost like a small bot.net waiting for a command would be(I am not saying they are a bot.net, just giving you an idea of how slow things are)
[03:46] <gregbrady> How do I tell a printer to use ttyUSB0 with cups?
[03:46] <EDocToor> Pad lock means that the file is owned by another user... Right click on it for details.. or use a shell in # sudo gedit filename.txt to view a text file
[03:47] <peeps> is ubuntu mobile installable?
[03:47] <trimeta> How can I install otr 3.2.0 in Hardy? 3.1.0 is the latest in hardy-unstable, and I don't want to migrate my whole system to intrepid.
[03:47] <peeps> i can't seem to find anywhere that its available?
[03:47] <trimeta> (And by "hardy-unstable" I meant "hardy-backports")
[03:48] <Ryan_Delaney> okay I installed hardy on my fileserver to set it up, now that its all going I dont need the desktop anymore since I administer through ssh. can I uninstall the desktop? :D
[03:48] <Flannel> !prevu | trimeta
[03:48] <debian_akroyd> Ryan_Delaney, sudo apt-get remove gnome
[03:48] <The_Gopher> So I'll rephrase my question :P Having problems getting grub (or anything really) to recognize my windows partition
[03:48] <debian_akroyd> Ryan_Delaney, or what ever desktop program your using
[03:49] <Flannel> !purekde | Ryan_Delaney
[03:49] <trimeta> debian_akroyd: Wouldn't sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove be better?
[03:49] <harrism_> hey if i have an nvidia card with the nvidia driver, and composite is not in my xorg.conf, how does the xfce
[03:49] <harrism_> 's compositing work?
[03:49] <Flannel> Ryan_Delaney: Except, get rid of the "install kubuntu-desktop" at the end (and you'll still need to remove some X stuff)
[03:49] <zv0> the khamra package is essential
[03:49] <DelphianSpectre> Good evening, I've had 8.04 installed about 3 hours now. I am going to ghost the channel and try to sponge some knowledge while I read, Just wanted to say hello.
[03:49] <debian_akroyd> trimeta, yah..if hes using ubuntu desktop
[03:50] <gamesiano> hola
[03:50] <trimeta> debian_akroyd: True, kubuntu-desktop would make sense if that's what he installed.
[03:50] <russ> Hi, does anybody have a theory why my gtkpod software is not recognizing when I've listened to a podcast, since I upgraded to hardy?
[03:50] <Ryan_Delaney> ubottu: Sorry, I dont want a KDE system, I just want a terminal.
[03:50] <edju> dmesg shows "apm: BIOS not found".  Wonder what's loading, or trying to load, apm?
[03:50] <Ryan_Delaney> Flannel: Sorry, I dont want a KDE system, I just want a terminal.
[03:51] <Ryan_Delaney> whoops, looks like debian_Akroyd got my question. thanks
[03:51] <gamesiano> i am editing a text file with nano, but i forgot to write 'sudo'
[03:51] <Flannel> Ryan_Delaney: yes, I mentioned you'dneed to remove the install of kubuntu-desktop at the end.
[03:51] <debian_akroyd> lol yw ryan_delaney
[03:51] <gamesiano> how can i own that process with su or sudo?
[03:51] <gamesiano> as root
[03:51] <ziploc1> EDoctoor: Thanks, but I can't get it to work, but maybe you know a good program for running windows based programs?
[03:51] <Ryan_Delaney> ziploc1: wine? :)
[03:51] <ziploc1> tried it
[03:51] <dr_Willis> gamesiano,  you dont. you could save the file to the users home dir. then use sudo cp to copy it to the right place.
[03:52] <ziploc1> ddn't work too well
[03:52] <ziploc1> for this one
[03:52] <debian_akroyd> gamesiano, trust me, it would be better just to use sudo
[03:52] <Ryan_Delaney> Other than wine I dont know of any other options besides virtual machines
[03:52] <EDocToor> ziploc1,, what are you trying to do???????????
[03:52] <gamesiano> yes... but i want to know if there is a way to own a process of another user
[03:52] <ziploc1> heh I was trying to install a parallel so that I could run a game
[03:53] <dr_Willis> gamesiano,  not that i have ever seen or heard of.
[03:53] <trimeta> gamesiano: If you edited the file with gnome-terminal (or some other graphical terminal thing), you could copy the text (by highlighting it), paste it somewhere unimportant, and then close nano; then do "sudo nano <filename>" and paste in your changes.
[03:53] <gamesiano> exec as root
[03:53] <Flannel> gamesiano: You want to run something as someone else?
[03:53] <gamesiano> the process yet exists
[03:53] <trimeta> Flannel: I think he wants to have one user take over a process which already exists.
[03:53] <EDocToor> ziploc1 try to askyour  question on ##club-ubuntu
[03:53] <Flannel> gamesiano: No
[03:53] <debian_akroyd> You want to run something as someone else?.....well that would just be a simple su [username] [program]
[03:53] <gamesiano> i want to change the uid of the process
[03:54] <debian_akroyd> oh
[03:54] <CrocoJet> hi all ! I am trying to get access from win vista to Ubuntu hardy. When I sharing folder in Ubuntu, I am getting this message: "'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied"
[03:54] <Flannel> debian_akroyd: No, because su won't work.  You'd use sudo -u username program
[03:54] <ziploc1> uh ok then
[03:54] <EDocToor> ziploc1, there are a couple of Ubuntu gamers there
[03:54] <ziploc1> kk
[03:54] <Dreamboy> hi all
[03:54] <ziploc1> hanks for all of your help
[03:54] <gamesiano> maybe...
[03:54] <ziploc1> bye
[03:54] <Ryan_Delaney> CoroJet: I have the same problem also, thank you for asking this question
[03:54] <gamesiano> sudo -u username process
[03:54] <debian_akroyd> Flannel, i thought you could use su to run programs as another user
[03:54] <Flannel> gamesiano: That won't work for already running ones.  No.
[03:54] <CrocoJet> Ryan_Delaney, ok
[03:55] <gamesiano> where process yet exists
[03:55] <gamesiano> i wil try--- jejjee
[03:56] <gamesiano> well it does not work...
[03:56] <gamesiano> :(

[04:02] <orgthingy> hi
[04:03] <orgthingy> omg, my charger stopped charging my laptop :O
[04:03] <Yud_Zroc> that aint good
[04:03] <orgthingy> it's using battery power!
[04:03] <ntiy> throw it away
[04:03] <cobber2005> Yud: where you suggesting I install wine to make the flickering stop??
[04:04] <Yud_Zroc> when running ubuntu under wubi and i get a windows virus on it...and then go into windows later without removing it...can windows get it
[04:04] <cobber2005> Opps, I mean EDocToor...
[04:04] <trimeta> Yud_Zroc: By "get a Windows virus," do you mean you opened an email with a Windows virus attached?
[04:05] <Guest81597> hello
[04:05] <Alsryth> hi all, I have a trivial issue where a specific application window appears in a fixed size and extends below the viewable desktop horizon.  Is there a way to drag window bars above the top of the screen to counter this?
[04:05] <Yud_Zroc> no...its a future referance question....
[04:05] <Guest81597> what is the subject we r talking about
[04:05] <|Adrian|> o/ Yud_Zroc :)
[04:05] <trimeta> Huh? As in, if you get a virus in Windows, does it affect Ubuntu?
[04:05] <isleshocky77> In regards to xorg is pos 0,0 top-left, bottom-left, etc?
[04:05] <EDocToor> cobber2005 I was talking to Ziploc1
[04:05] <|Adrian|> no virus in Windows should affect Ubuntu.
[04:06] <Yud_Zroc> trimeta: its because my freing gets viruses all the time...or spyware or adware...(seeing as linux dont get the,) but i was wondering if they would carry over in wubi
[04:06] <orgthingy> Alsryth: i dunno the answer but i like the way you wrote the question!
[04:06] <ntiy> just remove windows. it is a virus itself
[04:06] <Guest81597> the r 27 know virus for linux
[04:06] <trimeta> Yud_Zroc: If you have a virus in Windows, it's possible it could do bad stuff to your Wubi install, though it would have to be programmed specifically to do that.
[04:06] <The_Gopher> ugh, ubuntu totally sucks now, lost my windows install and I was considering switching to linux fulltime
[04:06] <Yud_Zroc> trimeta: other way around....
[04:06] <trimeta> Yud_Zroc: How would you get a virus in Ubuntu?
[04:07] <maynard> Would anyone be able to help me figure out why my Update Manager stopped working? I'm using 6.10 if that helps at all... Every time i try to update or upgrade it tells me "Could not download all repository indexes", and suggests i check my connection.. which is fine
[04:07] <Grackle> Alsryth, alt-LMB to drag the window
[04:07] <Flannel> maynard: Because 6.10 is no longer supported.
[04:07] <maynard> but it won't let me upgrade, either
[04:07] <orgthingy> 6.10 is like 2 years old?
[04:07] <Flannel> maynard: (and the repositories have gone down)
[04:07] <Alsryth> thanks grackle :)
[04:07] <cobber2005> my mistake, any one know how to fix a flicker after waking up from a suspend?
[04:07] <Guest81597> it mite b a bug
[04:07] <orgthingy> get Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS
[04:07] <Grackle> Alsryth, glad to help
[04:07] <Yud_Zroc> trimeta: say if the windows virus was in ubuntu (in wubi) and my friend booted back to windows would it affect it
[04:07] <Guest81597> what is going on
[04:07] <Flannel> maynard: You'll need to change your sources to old-archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and then upgrade to Feisty
[04:07] <EDocToor> Is "WINE" hard to use? Yes .... or No" or ... it takes about two days to get up up and running a windows game... would be perfect answers
[04:07] <maynard> thanks Flannel, i'll do that
[04:07] <Flannel> EDocToor: No
[04:08] <burkesbythebay>  how do i setup a HP PSC 1210 AllinOne
[04:08] <trimeta> Yud_Zroc: What do you mean, "the Windows virus was in Ubuntu"? It can't do anything in Ubuntu. It wouldn't even run if you didn't have Wine, and then it might not work as designed. And you'd have to have run it intentionally.
[04:08] <burkesbythebay> ubuntu hardy
[04:08] <Flannel> EDocToor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine will give you instructions
[04:08] <EDocToor> Cobber2005, Google Bugs and your OS and your computer type
[04:08] <Yud_Zroc> trimeta: no no no..
[04:08] <Guest81597> window and ubuntu are separated by a partion
[04:09] <Yud_Zroc> trimeta: flip the sentance around
[04:09] <trimeta> Guest81597: He's talking about a Wubi install.
[04:09] <Guest81597> i heard there is a antivirus for ubuntu
[04:09] <trimeta> Yud_Zroc: Tell me exactly what's happening within Ubuntu that relates to a Windows virus.
[04:09] <cobber2005> EDocToor: I"ve tried that, but all I get is info about problematic nVidia drivers, which I don't have
[04:09] <Blaqlight> Guest81597: there is, ClamAV and AVG among others.
[04:09] <arvind_k> Guest36101, yeah there is one clamav
[04:09] <arvind_k> Blaqlight, jinx
[04:10] <trimeta> Though doesn't ClamAV mostly scan for Windows viruses to make sure you don't infect people you send emails to?
[04:10] <kdb424> Hey. I'm having a huge triple boot issue with grub. Can someone help?
[04:10] <EDocToor> flannel,,, thanks
[04:10] <LSD|Ninja> Guest81597: there are a couple of anti virus products for Linux however at this point they're mainly for preventing the spread of viruses to Windows machines throigh files on the linux host, the virus threat in Linux itself is still fairly minimal
[04:10] <trimeta> kdb424: Possibly...describe it.
[04:10] <sivik> Someone told me to to resize a window do use middle click, that is not working
[04:10] <cobber2005> EdocToor: actually I didn't know Google Bugs was another website, I shall try that, thanks!
[04:10] <Blaqlight> trimeta: there really isn't one for linux viruses because there aren't enough linux viruses to make it a worthy cause.
[04:10] <Guest81597> ok i have a sound problem....well i have no sound and i just reformatted 3 days ago and it did work b4 that
[04:10] <Guest81597> what can i do
[04:11] <Guest81597> i install and reinstall and still no sound
[04:11] <gregbrady> Good evening folks, I'll try again in the new week.
[04:11] <alexjb> does someone want to help me, im havng trouble with an install, any help would be apreciated
[04:11] <Alsryth> grackel: I'm able to move the window in all directions except up.  Possibly because the application window is already touching the upper portion of the desktop.  Perhaps another solution is in order.  Is there a way to effectively "zoom out" a desktop view - aside from changing screen resolution?
[04:11] <ntiy> sivik: alt+ middle click
[04:11] <sivik> ok, thanks
[04:11] <Flannel> !anyone | alexjb, kdb424
[04:11] <kdb424> trimeta: when I try to boot to windows XP with REFIT, it boots grub, and when I boot to linux it does the same. But when I am in grub (they are both the same) and I boot to windows XP in the menu, It boots grub

[04:16] <ai3gtmc> trimeta,how can I fix this?
[04:16] <Alsryth> ai3gtmc: have you tried surfing the to an internet site via IP address instead of URL?
[04:16] <kdb424> ntiy: I can't get windows to boot, because grub launches grub. Any ideas?
[04:16] <r2d2rogers> Gnome Session Time limits: I'd like to limit the time my 4 and 6 year old spend on the computer
[04:16] <arvind_k> chalcedony, get a client like bit-torrent and download the torrent then open that file with the client to download the real file..after you download it burn it to a CD using Nero..
[04:17] <cobber2005> How do I get the flicker to stop after waking up from a suspend in Hardy?
[04:17] <ai3gtmc> Alsryth,doesnt work
[04:17] <mbrigdan> trimeta: hmm, I can't seem to see the option to output a Unix Timestamp, but it might be in there, I miss things a lot, especially since the rather cramped text of the terminal makes my eyes hurt :(
[04:17] <EDocToor> cobber2005,,, sorry about that,, does it keep flickering,,, or does it stop flickering after a while... have you tested your memory.. useing the memory option on boot... and if you reset up your suspend you will or should see tips about where to get help in your case.
[04:17] <ai3gtmc> ifconfig
[04:17] <ai3gtmc> oops
[04:17] <orgthingy> NO!
[04:17] <Alsryth> ai3gtmc: are you working from the computer which cannot connect to the internet?
[04:17] <orgthingy> the charger isnt working :'(
[04:17] <orgthingy> what should I do?!
[04:17] <EDocToor> !NO
[04:17] <trimeta> mbrigdan: %s
[04:17]  * orgthingy is so nervous 
[04:17] <ai3gtmc> Alsryth,yes it's on vmware
[04:18] <Blaqlight> mbrigdan: you can change the font of the terminal in Settings > Appearence > Fonts Tab.
[04:18]  * EDocToor where men are men ,,, and sheep are nervous
[04:18] <mbrigdan> trimeta: thanks, I would never have noticed that.
[04:18] <cobber2005> EDocTor: It keeps flickering.  I didn't know I can test my memory on boot, I'll go into the setup menu and try it.  How do I reset up my suspend?
[04:18] <kdb424> no one has ever heard of grub before?
[04:19] <kdb424> grub booting grub. sorry
[04:19] <Saladin> Anyone know where Synaptic installs mySQL?
[04:19] <Blaqlight> grub is good, mm chicken wings, lasagna, mmm
[04:19] <EDocToor> I love my grub
[04:19] <trimeta> kdb424: No, though I'd check that the device it's trying to boot is the right one, and that you're not chainloading grub again, or something.
[04:19] <ntiy> sudo apt-get install mysql
[04:19] <ai3gtmc> Alsryth,ifconfig's eth0 shows nothing about my IP
[04:20] <Blaqlight> ai3gtmc: perhaps its eth1
[04:20] <EDocToor> Cobber2005 Live boot your Ubuntu... and Look for memtest
[04:20] <EDocToor> from the list
[04:20] <ai3gtmc> Blaqlight,it's only eth0 and lo
[04:20] <Saladin> ntiy: I install it using the Synaptic manager, however, I don't know where Synaptic installed the thing!
[04:20] <Blaqlight> ... mine is
[04:20] <kdb424> trimeta: What exactly does chainloading do because I have changed the grub partition number to every other number, and it either did not exist, or it didn't have an OS.
[04:20] <Saladin> Cobber2005: Or, you could press escape on boot up, to being up the grub menu. There is a memtest option there.
[04:20] <ntiy> try "whereis mysql"
[04:21] <trimeta> Saladin: Something like /var/lib/mysql?
[04:21] <scifiguy951> are there any other good keyloggers besides lkl?
[04:21] <Blaqlight> ai3gtmc: if you lspci -v is your card there?
[04:21] <trimeta> kdb424: Maybe you should pastebin your menu.lst?
[04:21] <cobber2005> EDocTor & Saladin:  Many thanks.  Maybe bad memory is making my screen flicker?  I hope it's just that. Thanks.
[04:21] <trimeta> (Don't dump it here, use the pastebin, is what I mean by "pastebin.")
[04:21] <kdb424> trimeta: Can I PM you?
[04:21] <Grackle> Saladin, right click the package in synaptic and click "Properties." There is an "installed files" tab in the properties window.
[04:22] <trimeta> kdb424: I'm not that knowledgeable, frankly; best to keep things here.
[04:22] <kiyiko> any way to set screen refresh rate to an *unsupported* value. i allways have my 1024/768 at 72hz, but its not an option
[04:22] <kdb424> What's pastbin then?
[04:22] <kdb424> pastebin
[04:22] <trimeta> !pastebin
[04:22] <ai3gtmc> Blaqlight,i see ethernet controller
[04:22] <Saladin> Thanks guys... And Trimeta, you got it right.
[04:22] <chalcedony> is the ubuntu download site down?
[04:23] <chalcedony> i have no internet until i fix the router with a new install of hardiy
[04:23] <scifiguy951> are there any other good keyloggers besides lkl?

[04:23] <mycroftiv> Ubuntu alternate install or rescue mode: There is an option to install GRUB bootloader, but choosing this option sends you to the partitioner. Why?

[04:24] <squarebracket> what's the linux equivalent of ipconfig ? i can't remember
[04:24] <ai3gtmc> Blaqlight,ok..

[04:25] <DeeDee> hello all linux newbie and i have some questions i have been googling for a while without answer
[04:25] <kdb424> trimeta: I pasted it in there, and that is what came out
[04:25] <EDocToor> thanks
[04:25] <arvind_khadri> !ask | DeeDee
[04:25] <ai3gtmc> what's the otherway to restart network other thank /etc/init.d/networking restart?
[04:25] <unop> ai3gtmc, you need to setup networking for the vmware guest - http://www.vmware.com/support/ws3/doc/ws32_network8.html
[04:26] <Blaqlight> DeeDee: whats your question?
[04:26] <WolVeR> does anyone knows how to get 1280x800 with x3000 intel chip O.o?
[04:26] <unop> ai3gtmc, that is the way to restart networking.
[04:26] <trimeta> ai3gtmc: Umm...unloading and reloading the module for your wireless card?
[04:26] <DeeDee> trying to get my Atheros card to work in ubuntu no such luck
[04:26] <trimeta> WolVeR: It worked out of the box for me.
[04:26] <Harley^> ubotto - OK. Some history. I installed UbuntuStudio previously, It was good. I was happy. Timidity worked. I destroyed jackd in a by setting something wrong. This caused complete destruction. I re-installed. jackd now works BUT timidity does not
[04:26] <DeeDee> i think i have loaded the restricted drivers
[04:26] <DeeDee> but i dont see it when i go to network
[04:26] <Blaqlight> !ubottu
[04:26] <DeeDee> i tried installing madwifi and nothing
[04:27] <kevinO> how do i make a partition (fat32) show up under my computer?
[04:27] <ai3gtmc> trimeta,it\s not wireless its wired.. p
[04:27] <DelphianSpectre> I get fed up with trying to get drivers working so I play some chess and linux whips my butt again... have it no mercy?
[04:27] <trimeta> ai3gtmc: Maybe e1000 then? Maybe not, though. What's wrong with /etc/init.d/networking restart?
[04:27] <Harley^> oh just great I;ve been talking to a bot.
[04:27] <kevinO> when i installed ubuntu u set the partition as /windows
[04:27] <Harley^> more wasted time
[04:27] <WolVeR> well, when i just installed ubuntu, it had 1280x800 but, it was weird, i had the screen with that resolution, but the task bar was on middle of the screen
[04:28] <EDocToor> DeeDee can I PM you?
[04:28] <WolVeR> sorry 4 my english
[04:28] <ai3gtmc> hmm i dunno it's just yesterday this guy gave me a command to restart the network and it worked..
[04:28] <DeeDee> sure go right ahead
[04:28] <WolVeR> i cloned screen, but i can only get 1024x768
[04:28] <ai3gtmc> afaik the comman contains the word "dhcp"?
[04:28] <kdb424> trimeta: Pastebin won't work for me at all
[04:29] <Harley^> Does anyone knowledgable about getting sound and alsa and timidity to work properly pop into the #UbuntuStudio channel ?
[04:29] <rootyrooty> HI, how do I start mysql?
[04:29] <unop> ai3gtmc, dhclient ?
[04:29] <sivik> /etc/init.d/mysqld start
[04:29] <DeeDee> Edoctoor: do i have to do anything to recieve pm's like register or something or just wait for it like in IRC?
[04:29] <ai3gtmc> unop, yeah something like that
[04:29] <unop> ai3gtmc, sudo dhclient eth0
[04:29] <arvind_khadri> DeeDee, you need to register
[04:29] <Blaqlight> DeeDee: just wiat
[04:29] <arvind_khadri> !pm | DeeDee
[04:29] <ai3gtmc> yeah that
[04:29] <sivik> maybe /etc/init.d/mysql start
[04:30] <ai3gtmc> lemme try that :)
[04:30] <trimeta> kdb424: You copied the content of the file into the larger text box at http://paste.ubuntu.com, hit Paste!, and what happened?
[04:30] <DeeDee> !pm DeeDee
[04:30] <Blaqlight> apparently forever,
[04:30] <DeeDee> let me register one second
[04:30] <ai3gtmc> hmm it doesnt work either now..
[04:30] <kdb424> trimeta: It gave me a ile browser with the link file:///
[04:30] <Guest61927> hi, i was looking at my partitions with gparted and i noticed that there is 4.61MiB in an allocated partition. I duel boot with WinXP and was wondering if it is the Grub or more alarmingly a Rootkit? What do you think? I have tried to delete it and i can't through gparted.
[04:31] <trimeta> kdb424: When you hit the Paste! button? That's rather odd.
[04:31] <abhi_> I am facing problem in rhythmbox in ubuntu8.04. it is always crashing down.. what should i do..
[04:31] <kdb424> trimeta: Yea. That's what happens
[04:31] <trimeta> Guest61927: Did your computer come with a restore partition?
[04:31] <EDocToor> DeeDee, your welcome
[04:32] <sivik> Guest36101, that is more than likey just free space that windows was not going to be able to use or the restore partition
[04:32] <Blaqlight> abhi_: try audacious
[04:32] <Guest61927> restore partition?
[04:32] <abhi_> Blaqlight, : is it gtk+ based
[04:32] <Blaqlight> trimeta: even if it did I doubt 4 MB would hold anything :P
[04:32] <trimeta> Blaqlight: True.
[04:33] <unop> ai3gtmc, have you checked the vmware guest configuration -- you have to ensure that guest has the capability to get on the phycial network. something like this here. http://www.vmware.com/support/ws3/doc/ws32_network8.html
[04:33] <amenado> Guest36101-> each partition has to have a filesystem table, dont know if it takes that much 4.61MiB   btw what the heck is Mi ?
[04:33] <Blaqlight> abhi_: I beieve it uses the qt toolkit. I may be wrong though
[04:33] <DeeDee> Hey Anyone here have a Atheros Network card on laptop and got it to work on ubuntu
[04:34] <unop> amenado, mibibytes
[04:34] <arvind_khadri> DeeDee, which card..i mean model
[04:34] <rootyrooty> HI, how do I start mysql?
[04:34] <DeeDee> how do i find that out arvind?
[04:34] <trimeta> rootyrooty: /etc/init.d/mysql start, probably.
[04:34] <sivik> rootyrooty, is it installed?
[04:34] <trimeta> Or something fairly similar to that. Also, yea, it needs to be installed first.
[04:34] <arvind_khadri> DeeDee, wait a min
[04:34] <DeeDee> ok
[04:35] <rootyrooty> sivik: yes, I am having problems with Amarok, but it is def installed
[04:35] <Guest61927> would the free space be in the windows partition?
[04:35] <rootyrooty> trimeta: thanks, trying
[04:35] <sivik> rootyrooty, do a ps aux | grep mysql and see if its running
[04:35] <spoo1> Is there a way to change ONLY the Application menu icon?
[04:35] <scifiguy951> good keyloggers??
[04:35] <Guest61927> MiB is what gparted calls megabytes i  suppose?
[04:35] <rootyrooty> sivik: 10929  0.0  0.1   3004   768 pts/0    S+   23:35   0:00 grep mysql
[04:35] <whyameye> how can I build a 32 bit app on a 64 bit machine?
[04:35] <trimeta> sivik: pgrep -l mysql (that's a lowercase l) is superior to ps aux|grep mysql, IMO.
[04:35] <sivik> then its not running
[04:35] <Scorp__> arvind_khadri: Hey. which software to use for opening RAR Archives ??
[04:35] <sivik> i have never used pgrep.
[04:36] <rootyrooty> I need to start it then
[04:36] <sivik> Scorp__, unrar
[04:36] <unop> pidof mysql  is much easier
[04:36] <arvind_khadri> Scorp__, you need to get unrar-free and unrar
[04:36] <dude101> hello, i need hoary's universe repo in my apt/sources. what is it?
[04:36] <trimeta> whyameye: I don't know, some sort of chroot craziness?
[04:36] <rootyrooty> trimeta: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[04:36] <sivik> trimeta, is pgrep debian/ubuntu specific or will be linux wide?
[04:36] <sivik> rootyrooty, that means your install is not working
[04:36] <Scorp__> sivik, arvind_khadri: thanks.
[04:36] <trimeta> sivik: Linux-wide.
[04:36] <Guest61927> would i be able to find out what that unallocated partition is through Windows?
[04:37] <linuxguymarshall> Is there a reason why part of the last youtube video I watched is in my /tmp directory?
[04:37] <Scorp__> sivik, arvind_khadri: thanks.
[04:37] <arvind_khadri> DeeDee, run lspci on a terminal
[04:37] <rootyrooty> sivik: Ah. should I reinstall?
[04:37] <dude101> anyone?
[04:37] <arvind_khadri> Scorp__, welcome :)_
[04:37] <spoo1> ??
[04:37] <DeeDee> one sec arving
[04:37] <DeeDee> arvind
[04:37] <trimeta> linuxguymarshall: That's where temporarily-downloaded files go?
[04:37] <sivik> rootyrooty, how did you install mysql the first time?  from source or via apt-get/apatitude
[04:37] <arvind_khadri> !tab | DeeDee
[04:37] <linuxguymarshall> trimeta:But it is only part not all of the file
[04:37] <Blaqlight> linuxguymarshall: maybe your /tmp directory wants to watch it later?
[04:37] <linuxguymarshall> Blaqlight:haha
[04:37] <rootyrooty> sivik: prob synaptic
[04:37] <spoo1> is there a room just for ubuntu themes?
[04:38] <orgthingy> 5 minutes remaining
[04:38] <trimeta> Blaqlight: Maybe it came as a multi-file video, and was seamlessly made to view as one file? Whatever, if you're done watching it you can wipe it.
[04:38] <sivik> rootyrooty, try uninstall and re-installing
[04:38]  * orgthingy is saying buy to his laptop
[04:38] <trimeta> If you're worried about this sort of thing, I think there's a way to automatically clean /tmp on boot.
[04:38] <unop> rootyrooty, how did you restart mysql?
[04:38] <DeeDee> Atheros Communication Ar242x 802.11abg  Wireless PCI Express Adapter rev 01
[04:38] <rootyrooty> sivik: ok. am trying via synaptic
[04:39] <Blaqlight> I don't want the FBI checking out my /tmp folder anymore that I want my mother. they'd both be shocked.
[04:39] <rootyrooty> unop no, haven't yet. it usually launches with mysql
[04:39] <sivik> rootyrooty, ok
[04:39] <arvind_khadri> rootyrooty, are you using sudo or not
[04:39] <rootyrooty> unop no, haven't yet. it usually launches with amarok
[04:39] <unop>  /tmp is cleared on boot
[04:39] <DeeDee> arvind_khadri, Atheros Communication Ar242x 802.11abg  Wireless PCI Express Adapter rev 01
[04:39] <rootyrooty> arvind_khadri: sudo
[04:39] <spoo1> I need Theme oriented help!!!
[04:39] <Alsryth> deedee: this worked for someone else before :  iwconfig ath0 essid your_networks_name
[04:39] <Alsryth> Obviuosly you will subsitute your actual network name (ESSID) for the "your_networks_name" string above.
[04:39] <Harley^> So, do people frequent #UbuntuStudio ?
[04:39] <arvind_khadri> rootyrooty, you using it?
[04:39] <DeeDee> hmm
[04:39] <Blaqlight> spoo1: ask the question
[04:39] <DeeDee> let me try
[04:39] <unop> rootyrooty, err no .. mysql needs root's privs. to be started .. and amarok doesn't normally run under root.
[04:39] <weasy> hey where does apache store it's public folder in ubuntuu?
[04:40] <Blaqlight> spoo1: you wouldn't be here if you didn't need help.
[04:40] <unop> rootyrooty,  sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[04:40] <sivik> weasy: by defualt?
[04:40] <DeeDee> no such device ath0
[04:40] <sivik> weasy: you can always look at that apache.conf file and see where it is
[04:40] <arvind_khadri> DeeDee, run ifconfig -a
[04:40] <Blaqlight> DeeDee: it eth0
[04:40] <spoo1> Blaqlight: I want to know how to change the Applications menu icon
[04:40] <rootyrooty> unop: The problem is found!:   ERROR: The partition with /var/lib/mysql is too full!
[04:41] <sivik> rootyrooty, nice

[04:41] <rootyrooty> unop: my hd is full for some reason, something is malfunctioning and is fillling it up
[04:41] <Blaqlight> spoo1: lemme get a gnome-session going and then Ill see.
[04:41] <DeeDee> arvind_khadri,  i see ethernet and 2 loopbacks no wireless
[04:41] <spoo1> Blaqlight: without changing the rest of my theme
[04:41] <ai3gtmc> im getting a "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping" when I try dhclient
[04:41] <spoo1> Blaqlight: ok just let me know
[04:41] <Brolli> hi all
[04:42] <arvind_khadri> DeeDee, hmm ... hang on
[04:42] <orgthingy> bye all
[04:42] <unop> rootyrooty,  you could find the 10 biggest files under /var or perhas /var/lib   du -a /var/lib/* | sort -rn | head -n 10
[04:42] <orgthingy> my laptop is dying like a Mac!
[04:42] <Brolli> is it possible to traverse the cursor around in the terminal without a mouse?
[04:42] <rootyrooty> Hi, how do I clear /var of stuff i don't need
[04:42] <weasy> hey where does apache store it's public folder in ubuntuu?
[04:42] <amenado> ai3gtmc-> thats okay, you dont want a stale lease, you want a new ip address
[04:42] <rootyrooty> unop: am trying!
[04:42] <zv0>  how do I hack with ubuntu?
[04:42] <ai3gtmc> amenado,but I cant connect to the internet, what should i do?
[04:42] <unop> zv0, not in here
[04:42] <orgthingy> 0 minutes remaining
[04:42] <orgthingy> bye all
[04:43] <orgthingy> zv0: noob
[04:43] <orgthingy> what a scriptkiddie
[04:43] <CShadowRun> zv0 you can't learn to hack, you can only hack to learn.
[04:43] <amenado> weasy-> look inside the /etc/apache2/*.conf  for where that folder is mentioned?
[04:43] <flaco> Anyone no how to adjust the sound quality in ubuntu?.
[04:43] <CShadowRun> and yes, zv0...you sir, are a retard.
[04:43] <amenado> ai3gtmc-> do you have a working dhcp server?
[04:43] <ai3gtmc> yes
[04:43] <lakcaj> zv0, start hacking the IP 127.0.0.1, that idiot always leaves his box wide open
[04:43] <flaco> for example: the bass
[04:43] <unop> CShadowRun, no need for that
[04:43] <rootyrooty> unop: I don't understand the output. It just lists directories
[04:43] <zv0> funny thing is,, what I have on my other terminal :D
[04:43] <Blaqlight> unop: I can't seem to get fbsetbg to work, I want this background as my wallpaper but it won't set it.
[04:43] <hvgotcodes> hey can someone recommend a notebook cooler?
[04:44] <ai3gtmc> wait brb
[04:44] <rootyrooty> unop: do I delete the 10 biggest files?
[04:44] <DeeDee> So arvind_khadri  any ideaS?
[04:44] <unop> rootyrooty, well, that there just lists the 10 biggest, it's upto you to decide whether or not they are needed
[04:44] <Blaqlight> spoo1: I don't think so,
[04:44] <Brolli> is it possible to select the output of a command without having to pipe it into something else?
[04:45] <unop> Blaqlight, how are you using fbsetbg there?
[04:45] <unop> Brolli, and do what with the output ?
[04:45] <Blaqlight> as far as I know when the program is installed the app includes a png that is used system wide.
[04:45] <Brolli> to paste somewhere
[04:45] <sivik> Brolli, yes
[04:45] <Blaqlight> in fluxconf
[04:45] <Brolli> without using mouse
[04:45] <flaco> anyone know how to change bass output from ubuntu?
[04:45] <sivik> Yes
[04:46] <rootyrooty> unop: will I destroy my system if I delete, say the gconf files? I think that they're the culprit
[04:46] <sivik> Brolli, yes
[04:46] <DeeDee> so does anyone have any ideas about my Atheros issue
[04:46] <sivik> grep blah /folder/to/file
[04:46] <Scott_Johnstone> Hey folks - I'd like a bit of guidance if possible
[04:46] <sivik> Scott_Johnstone, just ask the question
[04:46] <Scott_Johnstone> you bet
[04:46] <Brolli> sivik: thanks
[04:46] <sivik> Brolli, yw
[04:47] <Scott_Johnstone> I've created a folder within my ~ dir called /.link/
[04:47] <Brolli> also, is there a copy/paste buffer in ubuntu that i could pipe output into
[04:47] <sivik> Scott_Johnstone, ok, that means its hidden
[04:47] <arvind_khadri> DeeDee, sorry no help here
[04:47] <arvind_khadri> DeeDee, :S
[04:47] <flaco> ﻿anyone know how to change bass output from ubuntu?
[04:47] <unop> Brolli, you can pipe to xclip - but xclip needs to be installed additionally
[04:47] <DeeDee> its ok
[04:47] <Scott_Johnstone> I'd like to map that folder so i can put links in there and open them by just typing the name of the link into the ALT+F2 run dialog
[04:47] <DeeDee> google is my friend
[04:48] <Alsryth> hvgotcodes: I use the ZM-MC1000 but i suggest you read the reviews and see which would work best for you
[04:48] <unop> rootyrooty, you might lose user configuration if you delete those directories
[04:48] <Scott_Johnstone> so instead of having to type ~/.link/oow to launch my open office writer, I can just type oow
[04:48] <Brolli> unop: thanks
[04:48] <trimeta> Scott_Johnstone: You'd probably want to add that directory to your PATH.
[04:49] <Scott_Johnstone> trimeta: yeah that's what I'd do in windows
[04:49] <sivik> Scott_Johnstone, sym link it into the /usr/bin or /bin folder and give it the right permissiosn
[04:49] <spoo1> Blaqlight: what do people use to combine themes? I'll try to just pull the one I want out of the other theme and put it in to the theme that I like... will that not work?
[04:49] <Scott_Johnstone> I just don't know how to add something to the path env.variable
[04:49] <amenado> DeeDee do you have a  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/madwifi/  dir?
[04:49] <rootyrooty> unop: Not sure what you mean. If I delete it and reboot, will I be screwed, or just left with a large amount of user config to do, as opposed to a non-booting box?
[04:49] <spoo1> Blaqlight: or is it easier said then done?
[04:49] <Scott_Johnstone> sivik: how do I simlink something?
[04:49] <trimeta> I'm not sure how to do that consistently for the alt+F2 dialog, though I know you can do "PATH="$PATH:/path/to/dir" in your .bashrc file for interactive shells.
[04:49] <Scott_Johnstone> err sym link
[04:49] <sivik> ln -s filename path/to/file
[04:49] <unop> rootyrooty, which gconf directories/files are you referring to?
[04:50] <ZoiX> How turn off a PC with Ubuntu from another PC with Ubuntu too?
[04:50] <unop> trimeta, put it in ~/.bash_profile and log back in
[04:50] <sivik> ZoiX ssh in and shutdown -h now
[04:50] <trimeta> ZoiX: Can you ssh into the remote machine?
[04:50] <amenado> Zoix you can use ssh to issue a remote command
[04:50] <Scott_Johnstone> sivik: hmm thanks I"ll try that :)
[04:50] <Blaqlight> spoo1: im sure anything is possible not sure how to do it though, themes in gnome and kde don't normally include the icons also.
[04:50] <rootyrooty> /var/lib/gconf
[04:50] <rootyrooty> 63744	/var/lib/gconf/defaults
[04:50] <rootyrooty> unop: 63744	/var/lib/gconf/defaults
[04:50] <unop> Blaqlight, how are you using fbsetbg there?
[04:50] <Blaqlight> Im using it in fluxconf
[04:51] <rootyrooty> unop: and /var/lib/gconf
[04:51] <E|Tomas-> are there firewall in ubuntu?
[04:51] <unop> rootbox, that's about 63M --- that's not much -- i would look at something else
[04:52] <ZoiX> sivik, trimeta, amenado, thanks
[04:52] <unop> Blaqlight, not sure then - have you verified that fbsetbg works normally at the command line?
[04:52] <ZoiX> sivik, trimea, amenado: ssh is install now in two machines
[04:52] <Blaqlight> unop: Im actually trying to set it in startup. sorry
[04:53] <spoo1> Blaqlight: I've seen some with a black looking ubuntu icon and some with the Gnome foot as the Appl. menu Icon.....
[04:53] <unop> Blaqlight, well, that doesn't answer my question? :)
[04:53] <trimeta> OK, problem with using prevu to allow me to grab new packages from Intrepid: I want both package A and package B; B depends on the newer A. (In particular, A is libotr and B is pidgin-otr). How do I make prevu compile against a version it itself created?
[04:54] <unop> trimeta, are you on hardy at present?
[04:54] <trimeta> unop: That is correct.
[04:54] <Blaqlight> unop: no I haven't
[04:54] <Freshy> if i use wine is it possible to get windows virii?
[04:54] <unop> trimeta, backport the intrepid packages (and their new and required dependencies)
[04:55] <ZoiX> sivik: can you help me?
[04:55] <trimeta> unop: I did that, and I've even installed the new libotr. I'm still getting an error while compiling pidgin-otr complaining about libotr's version.
[04:55] <sivik> ssh -l username hostname
[04:55] <E|Tomas-> are there firewall in ubuntu? if! How do i remove it?
[04:55] <sivik> username is the username you are connecting with and hostname is the server ip or hostname to connect to
[04:55] <Entropy51423> What can be determined based on the output of Wireshark?
[04:55] <ZoiX> sivik: right, let me see
[04:55] <sivik> E|Tomas-, iptables
[04:56] <Entropy51423> If you have any answers pleas IM me
[04:56] <trimeta> Freshy: In short, yes; the virus would probably have to be coded to take advantage of Wine, but that could actually occur. But still, you'd have to actively choose to run the virus with Wine; if you're careful about when you use it, you shouldn't have a problem.
[04:56] <sivik> E|Tomas-, /etc/init.d/iptables stop
[04:56] <trimeta> (Unless you've set your system to automatically run Windows executable with Wine...I'm not sure if the default install does that...)
[04:56] <unop> trimeta, how exactly did you backport libotr?
[04:56] <E|Tomas-> bash: /etc/init.d/iptables:
[04:56] <Blaqlight> unop: next question where are the wallpapers for gnome usually stored.
[04:57] <linuxguymarshall> I am trying to compile some source and I need the following files : SDL.h , SDL_image.h , SDL_opengl.h , GL/glext.h   . Where can I find and how can I install these
[04:57] <unop> Blaqlight, /usr/share/{wallpapers,backgrounds}
[04:57] <Blaqlight> unop: the ones that show up in the "change wallpaper" dialog
[04:57] <sivik> E|Tomas-, yes, from a cli prompt (bash, sh, or any one of the others)
[04:57] <trimeta> unop: prevu libotr && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade (all sudo'ed, of course.)
[04:57] <__yy_> linuxguymarshall: you need opengl and SDL development packages, search for them in synaptic
[04:57] <Entropy51423> type SDL.h etc...
[04:57] <Entropy51423> in bash
[04:58] <Entropy51423> it should give the command to install it using apt
[04:58] <linuxguymarshall> I have tried synaptic. No luck
[04:58] <Freshy> are you able to enable and disable wine?
[04:58] <bunz> linuxguymarshall: apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
[04:58] <E|Tomas-> sivik: it dont works
[04:58] <Entropy51423> it is called libSDL1.2
[04:58] <bunz> dunno about the gl include file
[04:58] <sivik> E|Tomas-, what do you mean it doesn't work?
[04:58] <Entropy51423> Something along those lines
[04:58] <linuxguymarshall> bunz: Thank you
[04:58] <E|Tomas-> dont find the file
[04:58] <trimeta> unop: Though...I'm not sure that's actually getting me the Intrepid sources...hold on...
[04:58] <Yud_Zroc> is there an os bashing chaneel someone can tell me about
[04:59] <Entropy51423> You need the libraries that go with them
[04:59] <unop> trimeta, i'm not sure that's how prevu works -- you might need prevu-update after  prevu libotr
[04:59] <sivik> locate iptables | grep /etc/init.d
[04:59] <rootyrooty> unop: do you have an answer /poilitely asking
[04:59] <Entropy51423> Does anyone know what can be determined by the output of Wireshark?
[04:59] <trimeta> unop: I'll look into it.
[05:00] <E|Tomas-> sivik: ye?
[05:00] <__yy_> Entropy51423: there is a great deal of active research into the answer to that question
[05:00] <snaga> cakephp
[05:00] <unop> trimeta, i prefer the older traditional way of backporting i.e.  apt-get source -t intrepid -b libotr  # after making sure you have the intrepid deb-src's
[05:00] <unop> rootbox, sorry, what was your question again?
[05:00] <Entropy51423> _yy_ can you give me either a link or a search query for Google?
[05:01] <amirman> does anyone know how to run a game in a separate x session in ubuntu? it's easier with other distros but ubuntu seems to lock down the x authorizations and store them in /tmp which makes it a lengthy process that has to be repeated each boot, (this feature has actually saved my butt before when i locked myself out of having any x authorizations) but i was wondering if anybody here knew of good safe way to make this possible with ubuntu
[05:01] <trimeta> unop: I'll see if that's easier.
[05:02] <Blaqlight> unop: there must be some other place because the wallpaper I have in gnome is not in that list
[05:02] <unop> trimeta, actually - see the very last section here on circular dependencies - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu
[05:02] <g0tcha> hey guys, is this correct to open port 6885: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6885 -j ACCEPT
[05:02] <trimeta> unop: Oh, yea, that's probably it. Good call.
[05:02] <unop> Blaqlight, note, that is two directories there. have you looked in both?
[05:02] <__yy_> Entropy51423: look for reasearch on wireless networking and security, http://arxiv.org/ is a good place to start
[05:03] <unop> Blaqlight, maybe /usr/share/pixmaps too ? though i doubt it
[05:03] <Blaqlight> unop: the other does not exist in that directory.
[05:03] <ZoiX> sivik: thanks for your help :)
[05:03] <Entropy51423> Thanks
[05:03] <unop> Blaqlight,  hmm, not sure -- time to launch your gnome-session :)
[05:04] <Blaqlight> unop: I did find a directory of backgrounds in pixmaps.
[05:05] <Blaqlight> unop: those aren't it and I never knew they were there, nor did gnome for that matter.
[05:05] <w1ll> I'm trying to install apache2 and I'm gettin 404 errors when I type apt-get install apache2. I'm running hardy
[05:05] <w1ll> =\
[05:06] <unop> Blaqlight, if you know the name of a wallpaper that exists somewhere on the filesystem. you can use locate to find out where exactly it is
[05:06] <Blaqlight> unop: omg Im ...
[05:07] <unop> Blaqlight,  ??
[05:07] <Grackle> will, sounds like your package list is out of date. Try an apt-get update first
[05:07] <amirman> is there a channel for X issues in ubuntu?
[05:07] <w1ll> Grackle thank you I'll try that
[05:07] <unop> amirman, usually this is it.
[05:07] <trimeta> unop: Cool, everything worked.
[05:07] <w1ll> Grackle thank you!
[05:07] <w1ll> =)
[05:08] <Grackle> np willl
[05:08] <unop> trimeta, nice
[05:08] <Grackle> er, w1ll
[05:08] <w4ett> what's your questions amirman ?
[05:08] <Kristopher> so i booted ubuntu from the live cd... but i just get a command line. can i get a gui interface with the live cd, without installing? it seems that installing requires an additional 600mb download :/
[05:08] <amirman> w4ett: "does anyone know how to run a game in a separate x session in ubuntu? it's easier with other distros but ubuntu seems to lock down the x authorizations and store them in /tmp which makes it a lengthy process that has to be repeated each boot, (this feature has actually saved my butt before when i locked myself out of having any x authorizations) but i was wondering if anybody here knew of good safe way to make this possible with ubuntu"
[05:08] <Scorp__> guys, is the synaptic package manager downloading too slow even for someone else out here ??? Its giving just half the speed i usually get.
[05:08] <E|Tomas-> sivik: i cant stop it O.o
[05:09] <trimeta> Scorp__: It did seem a bit slow for me tonight.
[05:09] <E|Tomas-> Bad argument `stop'
[05:09] <E|Tomas-> Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
[05:09] <sivik> read man ipteables
[05:09] <Scorp__> trimeta: Could there be a solution to it ?? I;m using the Main Servre since the Local server is even slower than that.
[05:09] <crimsun_> amirman: see xauth.
[05:10] <unop> amirman, how do you usually start the other sessions?
[05:10] <trimeta> Scorp__: Not much one can do if the servers are slow, unfortunately.
[05:10] <amirman> crimsun_: i've looked at xauth - that's how i found out the x authorizations are stored in /tmp
[05:10] <Scorp__> trimeta: oh ya, sorry for that stupid question...
[05:10] <crimsun_> amirman: then you probably know about extract and merge, yes?
[05:11] <amirman> unop: i haven't started any successfully on ubuntu, let me find the script i was using
[05:11] <amirman> crimsun_: :( no
[05:11] <Blaqlight> unop: I found the folder... it was on my desktop. also alot of the gnome wallpapers are in /usr/share/images also :D
[05:11] <unop> amirman, you can make your own set of autorization files that xauth can use - perhaps that's something you could look into
[05:11] <unop> Blaqlight, cool - shows how much i know about gnome.
[05:11] <amirman> unop: you know where i can find some newbie friendly documentation on it? or what i can search for?
[05:12] <unop> amirman, the xauth manpage is quite straight forward
[05:12] <Grackle> Scorp__, don't use the main server. Let synaptic choose the fastest one for you. Open synaptic, go to Settings>Repositories, Open the "Download From" menu and select "Other..." then hit "choose best server"
[05:12] <Bull3TNURF8c3> blah
[05:12] <Harley^> How would I get sound to work under firefox listening to a radio channel ?
[05:12] <g0tcha> hey guys, is this correct to open port 6885: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6885 -j ACCEPT ?
[05:13] <Alsryth> update manager question - if I use it to update from gutsy to hardy, will there be adverse effects to my system?  i.e.) drivers, directories, data loss etc...
[05:13] <amirman> unop: here's the script i was using http://pastebin.com/f50f9c3a7
[05:13] <crimsun_> g0tcha: by using libflashsupport or upgrading to newer alsa-lib, alsa-plugins, and flashplugin-nonfree
[05:13] <riegersn> at work on our windows boxes i can connect to another pc\shared with \\pcname\path
[05:13] <riegersn> can i do this in ubuntu?
[05:13] <Grackle> Alsryth, it shouldn't break anything unless you've heavily modified stuff.
[05:14] <g0tcha> what are you talking about?
[05:14] <Bull3TNURF8c3> anyone know of a real good linux distro that will run on a PC Chips M810LMR Duron 800D Processor with about 665MB of Ram?
[05:14] <Harley^> Are there basic troubleshooting guides for midi and audio  written in simple clear English
[05:14] <Alsryth> grackle: thanks, again :)
[05:14] <wols_> Bull3TNURF8c3: ubuntu
[05:14] <Bull3TNURF8c3> Really!
[05:14] <Grackle> np Alsryth
[05:14] <crimsun_> g0tcha: the solutions to your issue.
[05:14] <wols_> Bull3TNURF8c3: look where you are...
[05:14] <crimsun_> g0tcha: details in #ubuntu-audio-help if you want.
[05:15] <g0tcha> crimsun_, you mean the other dude heheh
[05:15] <g0tcha> i was asking about the iptables
[05:15] <g0tcha> if this is right sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6885 -j ACCEPT
[05:15] <Kattman> Ubuntu live cd is is installing the cd rom is Bang like crazy!   Normal ?
[05:15] <crimsun_> Harley^: #ubuntu-audio-help
[05:15] <Bull3TNURF8c3> well, I would like to run ubuntu on it, but it will eat up my ram?
[05:15] <crimsun_> g0tcha: right, that works.
[05:15] <Kattman> banging
[05:15] <wols_> Bull3TNURF8c3: what do you mean "eat up my ram"?
[05:16] <Bull3TNURF8c3> I need something thats a little less on ram
[05:16] <kindofabuzz> Bull3TNURF8c3: Xubuntu will run great
[05:16] <Grackle> Bubble, you'll want at least 512MB of RAM to run comfortably
[05:16] <g0tcha> crimsun_, then if i telnet to this port is should work fine?
[05:16] <wols_> 600MB is fine for ubuntu but you can run xubuntu instead
[05:16] <Yud_Zroc> i have had Xubuntu funning nice with 128mb ram
[05:16] <wols_> g0tcha: if something is actually listening there
[05:17] <g0tcha> netstat -an | grep "LISTEN "
[05:17] <g0tcha> is showing this:
[05:17] <Bull3TNURF8c3> I will give ubuntu and xubuntu a try, and see the performance difference
[05:17] <Blaqlight> unop: ok fbsetbg works for a second, then it seems this theme overwrites it.
[05:17] <kindofabuzz> I run Ubuntu fine with 768M
[05:17] <g0tcha> tcp        0      0 192.168.1.10:6885      0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
[05:17] <g0tcha> wols_, so it should work?
[05:18] <Blaqlight> unop: and then Im back to the same old boring wallpaper
[05:18] <Bull3TNURF8c3> Yud_Zroc: with 128mb of ram are you also running beryl and compiz on it
[05:18] <wols_> g0tcha: IF you connect from 192.168.0.0/16
[05:18] <Grackle> :P Bull3TNURF8c3. Linux is not magic. You need a reasonable amount of RAM to run a modern OS with fancy features.
[05:18] <Harley^> crimsun_: Amusing 3 users
[05:19] <g0tcha> wols_, yeah, exactly, locally... when i telnet to this port it just doesnt do anything
[05:19] <Yud_Zroc> Bull3TNURF8c3: no....the computer it is on is for my linux conversion computer used to make windows people puke at the site of windows
[05:19] <wols_> !doesn't work
[05:19] <unop> Blaqlight, see how you can use the overlay file to override theme specifics
[05:19] <g0tcha> so its not an iptables problem?
[05:19] <unop> amirman, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-X-Apps-6.html
[05:19] <Kristopher> so i booted ubuntu from the live cd... but i just get a command line. can i get a gui interface with the live cd, without installing? it seems that installing requires an additional 600mb download :/
[05:19] <wols_> g0tcha: if you couldn't connect you'd get a "connection refused" immediately
[05:19] <Blaqlight> unop: do you have a site or command so that I can read up on it?
[05:19] <amirman> unop: thanks! i was just about to tell you how confusing these man pages are
[05:19] <wols_> Kristopher: the normal Live CD gives a GUI yes
[05:19] <Mr_Bad_News> is there a fix for flash in firefox
[05:19] <g0tcha> wols_, im using putty to telnet to it and its not giving me connection refused, it just stays there in black
[05:20] <wols_> g0tcha: need more info
[05:20] <Mr_Bad_News> its laggy causes ff to crash and freeze and everytime i open a tab it stops
[05:20] <Bull3TNURF8c3> okay thanks all!
[05:20] <Yud_Zroc> g0tcha u need a 3erd party cliant
, but how do i start it? initramfs / busybox started and i'm not sure what to do next
[05:20] <wols_> Kristopher: then you have a problem. busybox only cmes when there are errors. it prints out those errors
[05:20] <g0tcha> wols_, this is basicly it, it just doesnt do anything when i telnet, putty stays black without bringing anything up
[05:20] <g0tcha> Yud_Zroc, third party client for what?
[05:21] <Yud_Zroc> telnet
[05:21] <wols_> g0tcha: not enough data to make a suggestion
[05:21] <Grackle> g0tcha, why are you trying to run a telnet server on ubuntu?
[05:21] <g0tcha> im trying to telnet to an eggdrop that supposed to b running on ubuntu upstairs
[05:21] <g0tcha> Grackle, not a telnet server
[05:21] <wols_> g0tcha: putty is NOT a telnet client btw
[05:21] <g0tcha> unless i need to install a telnet server to telnet to an eggdrop?
[05:22] <wols_> g0tcha: use an actual telnet client
[05:22] <g0tcha> wols_, well, it does telnet fine with other machines
[05:22] <g0tcha> like what?
[05:22] <Grackle> Oh, haha, I did not notice that you said putty. Yeah, putty is not a telnet client. :P
[05:22] <wols_> telnet!
[05:22] <Grackle> yes, telnet, from a command prompt
, there are no error messages :/    "busybox v1.1.8 (debian 1:1.1.8-5ubuntu12) buuilt-in shell (ash)"
[05:24] <g0tcha> i dont see what the problem with putty is, but i did telnet before to ubuntu using it
[05:24] <unop> Blaqlight, have you checked the fluxbox wiki?
[05:24] <g0tcha> just not on this fresh installed one
[05:24] <wols_> Kristopher: there are before that prompt
[05:24] <Grackle> g0tcha, you ssh'd to ubuntu with putty
[05:24] <wols_> Kristopher: what hdd controller?
[05:24] <riegersn> at work on our windows boxes i can connect to another pc\shared with \\pcname\path
[05:24] <riegersn> can i do this in ubuntu?
[05:24] <unop> g0tcha, you probably thought you telnetted to ubuntu - but used ssh inadvertently
[05:24] <g0tcha> Grackle, i dont know much, but i think i know the difference between the two :p
[05:25] <wols_> riegersn: yes
, not sure.. it's 30gb/ntfs though
[05:25] <unop> g0tcha, telnet does not do ssh - and why the hell are you using telnet anyway?
[05:25] <g0tcha> hmm
[05:25] <wols_> Kristopher: it's not. a filesystem is no hdd contrller
[05:25] <Blaqlight> unop: nope not until just now.
[05:25] <wols_> unop: cause eggies don't have sshds....
[05:25] <g0tcha> right, what wols_ said
[05:25] <riegersn> wols_, i have 2 ubuntu 8.04 machines wired in on the same router. one pc is named justice the other freedom, how can i accomplish this?
[05:26] <unop> wols_, eggies ought to be quartered and shot then
[05:26] <alexjb> i have an nvidia 7800gt 256mg gpu, how do i get the drivers and such?
[05:26] <wols_> unop: if you have no clue what you talk about: be quiet. k?

[05:27] <unop> wols_, yessir
[05:27] <Mr_Bad_News> can someone pastebin me there bashrc default
[05:27] <g0tcha> wols_, you ever run an eggdrop before?
[05:27] <Grackle> Kristopher, is your install media good?
[05:27] <Mr_Bad_News> i accidentally replaced mine
[05:27] <wols_> Mr_Bad_News: cat /etc/skel/.bashrc
[05:27] <wols_> g0tcha: no. I'm still sane. sorta
, should be; it's a new cd
[05:28] <daniele> photon
[05:28] <g0tcha> do you have a better way of logging a channel for stats?
[05:28] <daniele> controlla
[05:28] <Mr_Bad_News> thanks wols_

, fwiw, i did the 'disc at once' option
[05:28] <FloodBot2> daniele: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:28] <wols_> !it | daniele
[05:28] <daniele> vi dite da soli che siete matti
[05:28] <Grackle> Kristopher, when the CD boot menu loads, there is an option to verify the cd. You should try that.
[05:29] <Kristopher> how do i turn the computer off from busybox? ??
[05:29] <unop> Kristopher, the three finger salute
[05:29] <wols_> Kristopher: computer have a nice button on the case in general
[05:30] <unop> Kristopher, ctrl+alt+del
[05:30] <Grackle> Kristopher, ctrl-alt-delete perhaps, or just hold down the power button until it shuts off. Your filesystems aren't mounted, so you won't hurt anything.
[05:30] <Kristopher> thanks
, the power button wasn't doing anything, and this is a laptop, so i would have to remove the battery ;)
[05:30] <Grackle> Kristopher, even when you held it down for several seconds?
[05:31] <EruditeHermit> hey, does anyone know how to enable textured video output on xf86-video-intel cards?
[05:31] <Grackle> Textured video?
 ...oh, i am not that patient :P in windows i don't need to hold it down :P
[05:31] <Grackle> Kristopher, when things are broken you do.
[05:31] <wols_> EruditeHermit: do you mean direct rendering?
[05:32] <Grackle> Holding the power button down will force the computer to shut off no matter what it's doing, even if it's crashed.
[05:32] <konkel> iptables wont stop so i remove it...
[05:32] <EruditeHermit> Grackle, as opposed to Xv overlay
[05:32] <wols_> komputes_: huh?
[05:32] <Saladin> How do you assign a specific sound card over another?
[05:32] <wols_> E|Tomas--: huh?
[05:32] <komputes_> wols_: huh?
[05:33] <E|Tomas--> wols_: ye
[05:33] <Kristopher> just because it's 10 years old, the lcd connection/ hinge is half broken, the jog dial doesn't have drivers and the hdd might have a bad sector does *not* mean my power button is broken :)
[05:33] <wols_> komputes_: E|Tomas-- suddenly changed his nick
[05:33] <wols_> E|Tomas--: you make no sense
[05:34] <E|Tomas--> i wont to remove my fucking firewall'
[05:34] <wols_> E|Tomas--: removing iptables is not the way to do it
[05:34] <wols_> !language
[05:34] <choudesh> !language | E|Tomas--
[05:34] <harpreet_> E|Tomas- can you change ur name if u wish.....because its hard to type
[05:34] <riegersn> wols_, i have 2 ubuntu 8.04 machines wired in on the same router. one pc is named justice the other freedom, how can i accomplish this?
[05:35] <harpreet_> E|Tomas- what firewall are you talking about?
[05:35] <E|Tomas--> harpreet_: in ubuntu
[05:35] <Saladin> How do you assign a specific sound card over another?
[05:35] <Kristopher> ok, there was an i/o error reading the cd.. and a hex number is printed at the top left. what should i do?
[05:35] <wols_> E|Tomas--: iptables -L
[05:35] <wols_> Kristopher: re burn
[05:35] <E|Tomas--> wols_: i dont have iptables
[05:35] <Mr_Bad_News> is there a way to get a visual download like the flash pluging installer?
[05:35] <wols_> E|Tomas--: wrong
[05:35] <harpreet_> E|Tomas- can you be specific? is this internet firewall, intranet or wat?
[05:35] <Mr_Bad_News> with the scrolling command line
[05:36] <harpreet_> !Firewall E|Etomas
, but it was a new cd and i limited the burn speed to 8x .. why should there be an error?
[05:36] <wols_> Kristopher: how should we know? but there apparently is
[05:36] <Saladin> I have two sound cards in my machine - on board and PCI... the default is the on board sound, but that is broken. How can I make Ubuntu use the PCI one?
[05:36] <E|Tomas--> ...
[05:37] <Grackle> Kristopher, you'll have to find different media or a different machine to burn it. Or.. You might be able to install from USB. Do you have a 1GB or larger USB stick?
[05:37] <xhadow> hello i got a problem with my wireless card, in windows i could connect to my wireless network i both floor of my house, now that ive changed to linux when i go to another floor of my house my pc in linux cannot reach the modem cause the signal of the modem is at 50% but i cannot connect it is like it were a very low signal(in windows i could connect) how can i aimplify my Laptop wireless strength?
[05:37] <Ahadiel> Saladin, Go into your bios and disable your onboard sound.
, yes i do
[05:37] <Saladin> Thank you, Ahadiel
[05:38] <Ahadiel> Saladin, From your response I assume you know how to get there?
[05:38] <Kristopher> but i don't want to install it; i just want to run it, ie to test/compile programs in linux
[05:38] <chalcedony> i'm *trying* to make a hardy cd on this vista laptop (i don't know windows) it's saying i want to open ir045_uniclde.exe which is an Application from http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net ???
[05:38] <Grackle> Kristopher, get unetbootin (just google), and use it to make a bootable USB installer. It's pretty easy to use. Just format the USB drive before you run unetbootin
[05:38] <Saladin> Yep.
[05:38] <Ahadiel> Saladin, k
[05:38] <unop> Mr_Bad_News, see the wget manpage on the --progress option
[05:38] <Kristopher> should i do 'disc at once' or 'track at once' if i try another burn?
[05:38] <aarcane> okay, nm-applet shows networks, but when I select them, it completely drops the ball in trying to connect.
[05:38] <Adman65> So, i got a fresh install of hardy, no sound
[05:38] <Grackle> Kristopher, oh right, you don't want to install. Well, unetbootin will still work it.
[05:39] <Adman65> intel ich5, everything appears to be set
[05:39] <riegersn> wols_, can you point me into the right direction?
[05:39] <aarcane> fortunately, I have a nearby un-encrypted network I was able to connect to, but how can I make nm-applet connect to networks properly again?
[05:39] <Grackle> Kristopher, I dunno. I haven't used cdrecord for a long time.
[05:39] <Mr_Bad_News> i mean a gtk app UnFred
[05:39] <chalcedony> Adman65 problems with Alsa?
[05:39] <aarcane> whenever I start gnome it gives me an error, unable to start hal or whatever, but starting it manually fixes it.  it's not listed in the services applet, and may be related..
[05:39] <spoo1> Where does Ubuntu save the custom themes that a user makes?
[05:39] <Adman65> or pluse
[05:39] <Adman65> i donno
[05:40] <Adman65> i've tried both
[05:40] <Grackle> spoo1, probably somewhere in .gnome2
[05:40] <Adman65> setting playback to Alsa, or the card itself
[05:40] <chalcedony> Adman65 did you try in #Alsa ? the good guys might not be on now but they will be sometime
[05:40] <wbmj> spool: ./themes in user's home
[05:40] <spoo1> Grackle: where?
[05:40] <harpreet_> chalcedony: on vista u need to burn the cd
[05:40] <Blaqlight> unop: Ive tried what they suggest on the website to change the background its not working. something is overriding my override.
[05:41] <spoo1> Grackle: I'm sorry I don't know what you mean by .gnome2
[05:41] <wbmj> spool: ./themes in user's home
[05:41] <Kristopher> i guess i wil try burning on another com[puter/program
[05:41] <chalcedony> harpreet_ yes. do i not need that file? i had to get something to let me burn the iso and something else to work on that..
[05:41] <Grackle> Kristopher, I would try the USB method if I were you.
[05:42] <aarcane_> hrrm, that's odd
[05:42] <harpreet_> chalcedony: unfortunately you will have to download a third party trial software or something else so you could burn iso images otherwise this cannot be done in microsoft windows
[05:42] <spoo1> wbmj: you mean /usr/share/themes?
, i use this flash drive frequently :/
[05:42] <Blaqlight> unop: oh nevermind, it worked. I just typed the command into the terminal.
[05:42] <aarcane_> issuing sudo /etc/init.d/dbus stop; sleep 5; sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start; makes it work fine..
[05:42] <Adman65> hmm
[05:42] <aarcane_> but why is dbus failing to start the first time ubuntu comes up ?
[05:42] <Grackle> Kristopher, oh, I guess that would make things difficult.
[05:43] <Ahadiel> chalcedony, Look into "imgburn" for windows, it's freeware and works great.
[05:43] <Grackle> Kristopher, well good luck with burning on a different machine.
[05:43] <wbmj> spool: no....open nautilus...then ctl-h...you will see the folder .themes
[05:43] <E|Tomas--> :(
[05:43] <Kristopher> yeah :/
[05:43] <spoo1> wbmj: I just did that right before you said that lol
[05:44] <Grackle> Kristopher, it is possible that the machine you used to burn it works fine. It could be the cd image itself is corrupted.. You can check the md5sum of the file against the md5sum on the server
[05:44] <spoo1> thank you very much
[05:44] <spoo1> wbmj:  +1
[05:44] <wbmj> spool: no problem
[05:44] <spoo1> :)
[05:44] <amirman> chalcedony: if you use XP the best lightest most stable software for burning ISOs is this: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[05:44] <unop> Mr_Bad_News, what do you need this progress bar thing for?
[05:44] <Grackle> Kristopher, I had a cd burner that absolutely refused to make bootable cds, so I'd say it's entirely possible that yours has the same problem.
[05:45] <Grackle> amirman +1
[05:45] <Mr_Bad_News> just want it
[05:45] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone use awesome?
[05:45] <Ahadiel> Mr_Bad_News, What do you want to know?
[05:45] <Ahadiel> I've used it briefly.
[05:45] <unop> Mr_Bad_News, well, you could fashion one with zenity if you are using it in a script of some kind
[05:45] <SimplyJohnny> how to get it looking nice

, i'm not sure how the md5 works.. how would one number verify the cd / image?
[05:50] <LitomoSilver> chalcedony: Have you tried Nero, PowerISO, etc?
[05:50] <SimplyJohnny> ok im ready to f'ing scream , i just did a 'fix' for firefox crashing and now everytime i open google while youtube is open it crashes
[05:50] <Ahadiel> !md5sum | Kristopher
[05:50] <amirman> SimplyJohnny: which "fix" ?
[05:50] <chalcedony> LitomoSilver i just need the cd to get my network back up and thence my Linux box
[05:50] <uriel_> wow this place is unhealpful today
[05:50] <xTheGoat121x> Greetings again all
[05:51] <LitomoSilver> Ah. You're on Vista, correct?
[05:51] <amirman> chalcedony: dont bother with powerISO or NERO, they are both proprietary and not free and will restrict your use of them, use this one http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[05:51] <wbmj> uriel: System > Preferences > Sound > tab labeled sounds
[05:51] <Ahadiel> chalcedony, Use imgburn => http://www.imgburn.com/
[05:51] <xTheGoat121x> Has anyone else upgraded yet to Firefox 3.0.1?
[05:51] <spoo1> wbmj: uriel already left
[05:51] <SimplyJohnny> removing libflash.so and reinstalling
[05:51] <SimplyJohnny> i did xTheGoat121x
[05:51] <chalcedony> guys i havae infarecorder.. let's go from there
[05:51] <SimplyJohnny> it was even worse
[05:51] <LitomoSilver> I have, xTheGoat121x.
[05:52] <LitomoSilver> It is stable so far.
[05:52] <chalcedony> amirman ive got it
[05:52] <SimplyJohnny> id switch to galeon if it would let me choose my own colors
[05:52] <SimplyJohnny> and if its tab setup wasnt so annoying
[05:52] <xTheGoat121x> SimplyJohnny, LitomoSilver, do either of you use dark themes?  B/C 3.0.1 broke my dark theme fix.
[05:52] <trimeta> Whenever I do chroot from Ubuntu, I always get an error like "chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied" Any idea why this happens?
[05:52] <SimplyJohnny> i use xfce-dusk
[05:52] <Shish_> every other time i try to play a movie on totem, mplayer, or vlc, my ubuntu freezes up... have to manually power down and restart the comp...any ideas on how to fix this? please?
[05:52] <amirman> SimplyJohnny: http://wvarner.blogspot.com/2008/05/firefox-crashing-on-youtube-in-ubuntu.html
[05:52] <SimplyJohnny> i dont use any ff theme
[05:52] <LitomoSilver> I don't use dark themes, unfortunately.
[05:52] <g0tcha> wols_, i ssh'd to ubuntu and tried to telnet from there, it does the same thing
[05:53] <chalcedony> amirman it''s 'scanning SCSI /IDE Bus and asking about what letter drive
[05:53] <Grackle> Kristopher, md5sum is a program that generates a cryptographic hash for a given file. md5sum file will output that hash along with the filename. If the hash is the same as the one listed on the server, then you know the file you downloaded isn't corrupted. I'll help you find the file that lists the md5sum for your image, hold on.
[05:53] <FAJALOU> i am having troubles on my current theme in emerald, sometimes when i switch screens, the top close, minimize etc. disappear.... any thoughts on how to fix it?
[05:53]  * spoo1 is so happy that he doesn't use vista anymore!!!!
[05:53] <russ> Anybody have a suggestion why gtkpod does not recognize when I've listened to a podcast on my iPod whenever I update it, after an upgrade to hardy?
[05:53] <amirman> SimplyJohnny: you shouldn't even need to do the last part where you edit the file, but see how it works and if it still crashes (it won't) try it
[05:53] <xTheGoat121x> SimplyJohnny, all right... cuz my FF3 looks horrible.  Black on black, black on dark gray... it's horrible and I can't figure out how to fix it again.
[05:54] <crdlb> FAJALOU: emerald is crash-prone abandonware. Use gtk- or kde-window-decorator if you find it too unstable
[05:54] <SimplyJohnny> have you tried gtk-chtheme xTheGoat121x ?
[05:54] <SimplyJohnny> uninstall the themes and try it
[05:54] <FAJALOU> crdlb:  how so?  b/c right now it looks fine and has worked?
[05:54] <Grackle> Kristopher, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM on Linux
[05:54] <SimplyJohnny> i dont mess with ff themes
[05:54] <amirman> chalcedony: it seems like your CD burner isnt recognized by windows
[05:54] <chalcedony> anyone walk me through the steps please?
[05:54] <xTheGoat121x> SimplyJohnny, I'll have to check that out.
[05:55] <xTheGoat121x> SimplyJohnny, me either... I don't like FF themes, I prefer FF to follow my system
[05:55] <Grackle> Kristopher, oops that link pasted badly, here it is: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM%20on%20Linux
[05:55] <chalcedony> amirman it's a laptop the cd is built in
[05:55] <amirman> chalcedony: are you sure it has burning capabilities?
[05:55] <unop> trimeta, does the directory you are trying to chroot to have a directory heirarchy within it? or better, how did you create this directory?
[05:55] <SimplyJohnny> how do you get awesome to have a menu so i can get to system preferences?
[05:55] <Kristopher> ok, i'm checking :)
[05:55] <crdlb> FAJALOU: it's buggy, but that doesn't mean you'll always hit the bugs
[05:55] <Some_Person> HACKERS! GO TO ADEQUACY.ORG TO READ THE REAL STORY OF LUNIX AND UBUNTU!
[05:55] <chalcedony> amirman we bought it at christmas YES YES .. it does everythig
[05:56] <riegersn> at work on our windows boxes i can connect to another pc\shared with \\pcname\path
[05:56] <riegersn> can i do this in ubuntu?
[05:56] <amirman> chalcedony: if only you had an ubuntu live cd...
[05:56] <FAJALOU> recently i have been dealing with another issue too when i reboot, even though my things on the gnome panel are locked, they seem to move around.  it is only one spot, but it is still frusturating
[05:56] <spoo1> wbmj: Whats the best way to back up a theme? I have mixed a few themes together and I want to be able to post it and share it...
[05:56] <Kristopher> er.. how to use md5sum if linux won't work?? :(
[05:56] <LitomoSilver> Ordering LiveCDs from Canonical is fairly simple.
[05:56] <LitomoSilver> But not when you need them NOW. >_>;
[05:56] <unop> Kristopher, you can get md5sum for your OS
[05:57] <LitomoSilver> Wait...
[05:57] <chalcedony> it's an Acer extensa 5620
[05:57] <LitomoSilver> How about trying the Wubi installer?
[05:57] <amirman> FAJALOU: do you lock them after things are added to the notification area?
[05:57] <LitomoSilver> That should work as well.
[05:57] <LitomoSilver> o_O;
[05:57] <xTheGoat121x> SimplyJohnny, unfortunately, I don't think that peice of software will help me.
[05:57] <Some_Person> HACKERS! GO TO ADEQUACY.ORG TO READ THE REAL STORY OF LUNIX AND UBUNTU!
[05:57] <unop> !ops > Some_Person spamming
[05:57] <LitomoSilver> The only thing you'd need is a virtual cd/dvd drive to get the LiveCD downloaded working.
[05:57] <chalcedony> Some_Person that's offensive
[05:57] <FAJALOU> amirman: what do you mean the notification area, yes the notification area is one of the things that moves aroung
[05:57] <Harley^> crimsun_: ?
[05:58] <wbmj> spool: left click on the theme folder that you made.....there is an option to create an archive
[05:58] <crimsun_> Harley^: ?
[05:58] <Harley^> hjehe
[05:58] <Blaqlight> im really tired of firefox sometimes.
[05:58] <Harley^> I forgot what channel we were on
[05:58] <Harley^> hehehe
[05:58] <Ahadiel> !ops | Some_Person is spamming
[05:58] <Some_Person> dont ban me, i was only making a joke, to see the reaction, i didnt get anything though
[05:58] <michael_> can someone explain me, how i can change the actual rights of the partition i mounted into a directory? e.g. i mounted sda7 into /home/michael/Downloads but can't access it
[05:58] <Harley^> but, its working now
[05:58] <Blaqlight> none of my downloads ever want finish downloading.
[05:58] <Some_Person> i am a proud ubuntu user, and will stop
[05:58] <amirman> FAJALOU: next time you log into your system fresh, moves things where they need to go before adding anything to the notification area, then lock them
[05:59] <Harley^> crimsun_:  So what was done to fix it ?
[05:59] <crimsun_> Harley^: we made your onboard the secondary instead of the default/primary.
[05:59] <amirman> Some_Person: this channel isn't really accepting of jokes, even funny ones, they're disruptive, this is a getting-things-done channel, try ##club-ubuntu for jokes
[05:59] <wbmj> micheal_ : should be able to change rights in properties
[05:59] <Harley^> crimsun_:  What command did that ?
[05:59] <FAJALOU> amirman: not following you... what is the notification area?
[06:00] <crimsun_> Harley^: the configuration for snd.ko's slots parameter.
[06:00] <LitomoSilver> Notification area would be the clock and icons on the upper right, FAJALOU
[06:00] <chalcedony> choices of drive are E or F ?
[06:00] <amirman> FAJALOU: the part of the gnome-panel that functions like the system tray in windows,
[06:00] <chalcedony> amirman choices of drive are E or F ?
[06:00] <michael_> wbmj: ok, i've got set owner/group of the downloads directory already, but as i read i've got to change the right of the actual partition ?
[06:00] <amirman> chalcedony: try both
[06:00] <spoo1> wbmj: duh.... I'm sorry I'm trying to make this harder then it is.... its spoo(one) BTW :) thank you for your help you are awesome
[06:01] <amirman> chalcedony: try E and if it doesnt work try F
[06:01] <wbmj> spool:np
[06:01] <michael_> maybe directly accessing /dev/sda7 ?
[06:01] <FAJALOU> amirman:  ok i have it all where i want it right now... so what next?  b/c what is happening is that the system tray is moving things out of the way
[06:02] <SimplyJohnny> how do i increase the power of my wireless card
[06:02] <LitomoSilver> It shouldn't, so long as you lock them. o_O;
[06:02] <SimplyJohnny> and get it to quit shitting out on me
[06:02] <amirman> FAJALOU: you need to lock them where they go as soon as you log in, you have to be sure there arent things running there that aren't always there.
[06:02] <LitomoSilver> amirman: Wouldn't locking them in the current session do the same thing anyways?
[06:03] <FAJALOU> amirman:  i have the regular things open that i log in with opened, and i now have it locked...
[06:03] <amirman> SimplyJohnny: try not to use bad language here, go to system>administration>software sources and enable 3rd party sources (both checkboxes) then close it, it should find your wireless driver
[06:04] <dcsquare> Hello. Is there any advantage of installing Ubuntu on 64 bits if you have less than 4 GB of RAM?
[06:04] <SimplyJohnny> i've already enabled all software sources
[06:04] <LitomoSilver> ... D'oh.
[06:04] <amirman> LitomoSilver: only if the things in the notification area are always there, if he has an icon there for an app that he has opened manually or something like the system updater, it will lock it and have an empty space where those things are
[06:04] <SimplyJohnny> my card works
[06:04] <FAJALOU> dcsquare:  you have to make sure that your computer will run it.
[06:04] <LitomoSilver> I should've done that x_x;
[06:04] <LitomoSilver> Ah, makes sense.
[06:04] <Harley^> crimsun_: Are you using UbuntuStudio ?
[06:04] <harpreet_> dcsquare: no need RAM
[06:04] <SimplyJohnny> it just shits out every few minutes and i have to click on nm-applet and set it to the network
[06:04] <FAJALOU> dcsquare:  there is a difference between 32 bit and 64 bit
[06:04] <FAJALOU> !away | spoonation
[06:04] <crimsun_> Harley^: not per se.
[06:05] <dcsquare> I have a q6600 processor, so I can run 64 bit Ubuntu
, the md5sum check worked ok
[06:05] <amirman> SimplyJohnny: the only thing i can think is that if you have proposed packages enabled, the new kernel added a new wireless module for me, maybe that might help you too, or maybe not
[06:06] <spoonation> FAJALOU: I don't get it...
[06:06] <Harley^> crimsun_: You zeroed in on the problem and it seems to be resolved
[06:06] <camrail> will running 64 bit hurt a computer made to run 32 bit?
[06:06] <dcsquare> but in Windows the only reason you would install 64 bit version is to support more than 4 GB of RAM, cause other than that you would get only head aches: less druvers, lots of application that won't work on a 64 bit architecture etc
[06:06] <FAJALOU> spoonation: sorry wrong message, please don't try to do things that are noisy, like changing your nick in channel
[06:07] <LitomoSilver> True, but Windows64-bit can run 32bit software.
[06:07] <LitomoSilver> o_O;
[06:07] <Harley^> crimsun_: I have copied all of the commands into a text file for future reference
[06:07] <chalcedony> amirman i found it in E.. :) now it's trying to have me find the iso file, i think?
[06:07] <spoonation> oh ok sorry I didn't know that thank you :)
[06:07] <chalcedony> Harley^ wise man
[06:07] <chalcedony> i also log the channel
[06:07] <amirman> chalcedony: then you should be on your way to having a fresh ubuntu disc, as long as you remember where you stored the ISO
[06:07] <chalcedony> i clicked download
[06:08] <Harley^> chalcedony: not the first time, I wasn't LOL
[06:08] <chalcedony> and yes..
[06:08] <dcsquare> LitomoSilver: in theory yes... but have you tried premiere 5 on XP64? it's not pretty...
[06:08] <SimplyJohnny> is gotham knight the new batman flick
[06:08] <chalcedony> i don't know where it put it. i can see it on the desktop
[06:08] <LitomoSilver> No, but I'll be sure to try Premiere 5 on XP-64
[06:08] <amirman> !offtopic
[06:09] <LitomoSilver> Anyways, I've been meaning to ask how you can set Ubuntu to use a certain soundcard rather than integrated sound? >_>;
[06:09] <LitomoSilver> I'm running Ubuntu 8.04
[06:09] <bigboy99> i want to uninstall ubuntu and be able to go back to using just windows can someone help me
[06:09] <dcsquare> LitomoSilver: my point was that if you need to use legacy apps you'd best stay away from 64 bits
[06:09] <LitomoSilver> True.
[06:09] <FAJALOU> !dualboot | bigboy99
[06:09] <bigboy99> i am on dual boot but i want to get rid of ubuntu
[06:09] <LitomoSilver> Lol, yeah I have a dual-boot config. >:D
[06:10] <LitomoSilver> Then wiping the Ubuntu partition should be a simple matter. o_O;
[06:10] <crimsun_> LitomoSilver: you can either use asoundconf or modprobe configuration.
[06:10] <crimsun_> LitomoSilver: the latter is preferred but more intrusive.
[06:10] <dcsquare> bigboy99> xp disk and fixmbr
[06:10] <bigboy99> i need to know how to get rid of the grub boot manager
[06:10] <LitomoSilver> crimsun_:  Which would be...? I'm not familiar with the two stuff.
[06:10] <amirman> bigboy99: run the livecd and use gparted to erase the ubuntu partition
[06:10] <bigboy99> how do i get gparted
[06:10] <crimsun_> LitomoSilver: well, what's the problem, and what are you attempting?
[06:11] <bigboy99> i am not on xp
[06:11] <amirman> bigboy99: then use your windows disc to load into a repair commandline and run /fixmbr
[06:11] <ronin12345> Whats a linux application just for handling xdcc downloads? that support auto re connecting of downloads etc?
[06:11] <amirman> bigboy99: or it may just be fixmbr without the slash
[06:12] <LitomoSilver> Here's what I'm trying to do. I have two sound systems in this system, right? I want to route the sounds, ALL of them, to the sound system that isn't blocked by the I/O plate like the integrated sound is. I want to see if I can disable the onboard sound and use the discrete soundcard.
[06:12] <amirman> bigboy99: gparted is on the livecd
[06:12] <FAJALOU> bigboy99:  or just tell grub's menu.lst to boot to windows.  that way you can experiment with ubuntu when you want to.
[06:12] <CastilleV> Hi
[06:12] <Saladin> LitomoSilver: Just disable onboard sound in your BIOS. ^^
[06:12] <LitomoSilver> I know. >_>;
[06:13] <LitomoSilver> Not an option until I need to reboot.
[06:13] <Atomicsunset> anyone know how to make ndiswrapper not suck ? :P
[06:13] <FAJALOU> !hi |  CastilleV
[06:13] <LitomoSilver> Then again I could do /os global The server is going down for maintenance and will knock you offline. >_>;
[06:13] <LitomoSilver> and reboot and disable it anyways.
[06:13] <bigboy99> ok but how do i get gparted from the live cd
[06:13] <amirman> FAJALOU: if he has grub on his ubuntu partition (like i do and most who run the safest options during an ubuntu install do) that won't help
[06:14] <wbmj> Atomicsunset: ndisgtk is a GUI frontend that is easy to use
[06:14]  * CastilleV does IRC testing
[06:14] <FAJALOU> amirman:  but then he could keep ubuntu and play with it if he wants to
[06:14] <dcsquare> Rephrase: on a quad core processor with 2 GB of RAM, would I have any advantage of running Ubuntu 64 vs Ubuntu 32?
[06:14] <amirman> bigboy99: when you load into ubuntu from the live cd go to system>administration>partition editor
[06:14] <Kristopher> i think i'll just request a free cd... there might be problems with my computer hardware / cd burner / cds / iso image / burning software... this debugging is terribly impossible o.o
[06:14] <amirman> FAJALOU: he doesn't want to
[06:14] <Atomicsunset> ndiswrapper has a gui too but im just about fed up with my wifi card through ubuntu
[06:15] <FAJALOU> amirman: any more ideas about gnome-panel
[06:15] <chalcedony> amirman NTI CD % DVD Maker has stopped working, A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  [close program]
[06:15] <amirman> Atomicsunset: have you tried enabling 3rd party software sources so you can use the proprietary drivers for your wireless card?
[06:15] <amirman> chalcedony: it sounds like a hardware issue to me
[06:15] <amirman> FAJALOU: did that not work?
[06:16] <Atomicsunset> no i havent
[06:16] <LitomoSilver> Ok... now I need to find the Creative sound card drivers. >_>;
[06:16] <chalcedony> amirman it better not be
[06:16] <Atomicsunset> i did try screamin and cursing but neither did me much good
[06:16] <chalcedony> and why
[06:16] <Atomicsunset> yet....
[06:16] <LitomoSilver> And try looking at the sysinfo.
[06:16] <FAJALOU> well in the system tray it is locked with everything else with the same amount of stuff it has on login, but it still moves stuff around
[06:16] <bigboy99> ok thank you i will try it
[06:16] <amirman> Atomicsunset: go to system>administration>software sources and on the 3rd party tab select both checkboxes, then close, it will then update and automatically install drivers for you
[06:16] <Elijah> Ubuntu Rocks!
[06:17] <Atomicsunset> update via online or disc?
[06:17] <Saladin> LitomoSilver: Try this site - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/35890
[06:17] <amirman> Atomicsunset: online
[06:17] <taladel> Hey all
[06:17] <Atomicsunset> i cant get online through ubuntu. i have 3 hotspots but ubuntu cant see the one i connect to
[06:17] <Atomicsunset> im in windows now
[06:17] <Atomicsunset> it sees all 3 connections
[06:18] <Ahadiel> Atomicsunset, What wireless card do you have?
[06:18] <Atomicsunset> 2 are secured the one im on is not, it just has a very weak signal
[06:18] <amirman> Atomicsunset: you'll need to connect with a lan cable for a few minutes but after the wireless driver installs, you're good to go
[06:18] <Atomicsunset> my wireless card works tho
[06:18] <Atomicsunset> i can see 2 connections
[06:18] <Atomicsunset> i have a broadcom card
[06:18] <Ahadiel> !b43
[06:18] <Atomicsunset> one sec i can get exact model n chip set
[06:19] <Atomicsunset> damn the b43!
[06:19] <amirman> Atomicsunset: ubuntu can install broadcom drivers very easily for you automatically if you follow the steps i've given you
[06:19] <wbmj> amirman: I don't think Atomic has hardwire access
[06:19] <Atomicsunset> amirman: would i be able to use my wifi if the drivers are not installed. like i said ive connected to hotspots already through it
[06:19] <Atomicsunset> i dont
[06:20] <Atomicsunset> im just a useless leech to my neighbors atm
[06:20] <Atomicsunset> i just moved in
[06:20] <amirman> Atomicsunset: you've connected wirelessly with ubuntu already?
[06:20] <Atomicsunset> correct
[06:20] <Atomicsunset> there are 3 hotspots where i am
[06:20] <ronin12345> I'm going away for a month and want to be able to queue up some downloads from XDCC bots... anyone know ehat I can use to do this? Also needs to be able to survive poweroutages
[06:20] <nickrud> Atomicsunset maybe they've realized they had a leech and hid the essid ;)
[06:21] <Atomicsunset> windows sees all 3
[06:21] <moreau> anyone know how to get irc bots to stop sending me stupid useless messages every time I join a server
[06:21] <Atomicsunset> heh
[06:21] <Atomicsunset> no cuz im on it right now
[06:21] <Saladin> You know... the best way is to not be cheap!!
[06:21] <Atomicsunset> just through windows
[06:21] <moreau> ronin: use dc++
[06:21] <nickrud> oh, well, you see it in windows. Not the solution
[06:21] <Atomicsunset> i know i know
[06:21] <Atomicsunset> exactly
[06:21] <moreau> or do you mean from irc bots, not a hub?
[06:21] <ronin12345> irc
[06:21] <amirman> Atomicsunset: if you could get connected with a cable you'll be in business the only other way i know is to use NDISwrapper which is a pain in the bottom
[06:22] <Atomicsunset> i agree
[06:22] <udan_udin> e
[06:22] <Atomicsunset> or find a way to crack the other 2's wpa
[06:22] <Atomicsunset> :P
[06:22] <amirman> Atomicsunset: maybe you can find a .deb of the driver you need online, what's the exact model?
[06:22] <ronin12345> DC++ is troublesome from china as almost everyhub is on a dynamicIP host and therefor blocked
[06:22] <Miranda> hi, I downloaded ubuntu via firefox and now it says that it can't find the file :-(
[06:22] <nickrud> amirman you've missed the point: his ubuntu wireless works, but he doesn't see a hotspot he expects to
[06:22] <moreau> well there are some clients that can automatically accept downloads without asking you for permission
[06:23] <nickrud> Miranda in windows? do a search
[06:23] <Atomicsunset> BCM 0465 REV 3.9
[06:23] <amirman> nickrud: yeah, but the drivers should boost performance of his wireless.
[06:23] <taladel> Miranda: Is the listing still in your download window in Firefox?
[06:23] <Atomicsunset> chipset 4311 / 2050
[06:23] <Miranda> taladel: yes
[06:23] <ronin12345> yeah but the adverage client will forget what was requested and then I can only queue on the server... I need local queueing... there are a few windows apps for it so i suppose i could try wine
[06:24] <amirman> nickrud: he said he's never enabled 3rd party software sources so he's not using the proprietary driver
[06:24] <Atomicsunset> im using the default updated ubuntu drivers
[06:24] <taladel> Right click the listing and go to 'Open containing folder'. See if that does anything.
[06:24] <Ahadiel> amirman, he IS using the proprietary driver with ndiswrapper
[06:24] <Atomicsunset> i connected and updated the basics
[06:24] <Atomicsunset> but that was at a coffee shop
[06:24] <nickrud> amirman b43 is in restricted and b43-fwcutter is in main
[06:25] <moreau> how can i figure out what driver is beig used by my video card
[06:25] <Atomicsunset> i have tried bothe b43 b43cutter and the fuego
[06:25] <Atomicsunset> moreau: device manager?
[06:25] <Scott_Johnstone> I'd like to set the screensaver to "Random" but only include a specific list of screensavers to choose from.. The easy way that occurs to me is to track down the individual screensaver modules and just remove them. Is there an easier way to do this? If not, where would I look for the screensaver files?
[06:25] <taladel> Miranda: Right click the listing and go to 'Open containing folder'. See if that does anything.
[06:26] <moreau> device manager? wheres that?
[06:26] <moreau> theres only 'hardware devices' under system>admin
[06:26] <Miranda> taladel: did that. the computer said that the file did not exist. :-/
[06:26] <amirman> ohh
[06:26] <nickrud> Scott_Johnstone i think they're in /usr/share/xscreensaver/config
[06:26] <Scott_Johnstone> nickrud: thanks I'll check
[06:26] <amirman> taladel: did you reboot after downloading?
[06:26] <Saladin> moreau: sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager
[06:27] <taladel> moreau: doesn't come standard. Go to synaptic package manager and search for device manager
[06:27] <Miranda> taladel: I am going to re-download and save it to the folder because firefox downloaded it as a disc instead of a disc image
[06:27] <moreau> and that seems to be trying to list restricted/proprietary drivers (cuz its an emty list)
[06:27] <Atomicsunset> moreau: applications/add-remove
[06:27] <moreau> ah ok
[06:27] <nickrud> Scott_Johnstone that doesn't feel right, I think they're somewhere else (unless the format changed again)
[06:27] <Atomicsunset> search for device manager
[06:27] <Scott_Johnstone> nickrud: that looks like the place!
[06:27] <taladel> Miranda: good call
[06:27] <kindofabuzz> AtomicMongoose: best guide i've found for bcm wireless and ndiswrapper.  the drivers they mention may be old though.  just use the correct windows drivers for your card: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff
[06:27] <Saladin> moreau: Then, once it has installed just run gnome-device-manager in terminal
[06:27] <Saladin> moreau: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/35890 <-- Tells you how to add it to the menu
[06:28] <Atomicsunset> can i use fiesty with harvy? or hardy or whatever :P
[06:28] <FAJALOU> amirman: any thoughts on the gnome-panel?
[06:28] <moreau> thanks guys
[06:28] <taladel> moreau: np
[06:28] <Scott_Johnstone> nickrud: hmm actually I think you're right about that being the wrong place after all, these are just .xml files
[06:28] <Atomicsunset> good luk moreau!
[06:28] <Daniel_2> Okay, I'm here day two in a row. I put the ubuntu .iso file onto a disc, and when i tried to boot up the computer, I choose "ubuntu" on the grub menu. but NOTHING worked.
[06:28] <kindofabuzz> AtomicMongoose: just follow the directions, worked for me in Hardy
[06:28] <Atomicsunset> aight
[06:28] <amirman> FAJALOU: what applets do you have on your panel?
[06:28] <Daniel_2> just went to a black screen with an MsDOS look to it.
[06:28] <Atomicsunset> thanks a bunch man
[06:28] <LitomoSilver> Daniel_2 do you have any other OSes on the computer?
[06:29] <Daniel_2> Windows Vista
[06:29] <Saladin> Also, Daniel_2, did you download the desktop edition? Or the server edition?
[06:29] <Daniel_2> Desktop edition
[06:29] <amirman> or the alternate install
[06:29] <Daniel_2> Desktop edition for AMD 64bit
[06:29] <FAJALOU> search applet, space, cpu monitor, space  system tray, network connection, sound, notification area weather,seperator time, shutdown button
[06:30] <LitomoSilver> Have you tried using the Wubi installer that comes with the LiveCD?
[06:30] <Saladin> Daniel_2: See my PM please.
[06:31] <nickrud> Scott_Johnstone /usr/share/applications/screensavers
[06:31] <kindofabuzz> swrew wubi, don't be a wuss! just install it! =)
[06:31] <FAJALOU> amirman:  PM?
[06:31] <LitomoSilver> kindofabuzz: I used Wubi the first time. Couldn't get it to work properly.
[06:31] <moreau> eh the device manager seems worthless--it just tells me the name/model of my video card, doesnt seem to be any driver information at all
[06:31] <taladel> I'm having issues getting OSS to install. I'm following  Temujin's guide on the forum, and I get an error message saying "Relinking the OSS kernel modules failed". Thoughts?
[06:32] <LitomoSilver> Then installed it straight from the LiveCD the second time.
[06:32] <kindofabuzz> just make a partition and install it.
[06:32] <LitomoSilver> Got it working the second time.
[06:32] <Miranda> taladel: I know what happened....sonic recording now saved it as a temp file...and deleted it when the file was not compatible
[06:32] <kindofabuzz> delete your windows xp and be happy
[06:32] <taladel> miranda: I see.
[06:32] <Saladin> kindofabuzz: VERY true, my friend!
[06:32] <wbmj> moreau: what card
[06:32] <wols_> moreau: glxinfo  or Xorg.0.log
[06:32] <trimeta> kindofabuzz: Well, sometimes one needs Windows...hence, install XP within VirtualBox once you're done.
[06:32] <moreau> Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller
[06:32] <kindofabuzz> who NEEDS windows?
[06:33] <moreau> newbs
[06:33] <kindofabuzz> lol
[06:33] <taladel> People who program in .NET
[06:33] <trimeta> kindofabuzz: When Wine isn't good enough to make that one program run.
[06:33] <LitomoSilver> Lol. That's what I intend to do, delete XP on this system and extend the partition to take up the entire two hard drives.
[06:33] <nickrud> moreau you'd be using xserver-xorg-video-intel driver
[06:33] <kindofabuzz> trimeta: i'm sure there is a better linux alternative anyways
[06:33] <SimplyJohnny> i cant get any video plugin to play video
[06:33] <trimeta> kindofabuzz: Not in every situation. Maybe it's some old unsupported software your company relies upon.
[06:33]  * julio_neto Hello everybody!

[06:34] <julio_neto> hi
[06:34] <trimeta> moreau: Maybe try glxinfo?
[06:34] <SimplyJohnny> vlc totem mplayer xine
[06:34] <bobertdos> SimplyJohnny: What are you trying to play??
[06:34] <nickrud> moreau the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log has an incredible amount of info, and glxinfo and xdpyinfo provide a bunch more
[06:34] <SimplyJohnny> a movie
[06:34] <amirman> SimplyJohnny: are you talking about for firefox?
[06:34] <wols_> moreau: I told you long ago
[06:34] <SimplyJohnny> yes
[06:34] <taladel> kindofabuzz: I don't disagree, but a lot of programmers I know make their living programming in .NET
[06:34] <nickrud> moreau glxinfo and xdpyinfo are commands
[06:34] <LitomoSilver> Blah. How do you disable the Intel integrated sound? -_-;
[06:34] <bobertdos> SimplyJohnny: DVD movie?
[06:35] <LitomoSilver> WITHOUT rebooting and disabling it via BIOS, please.
[06:35] <SimplyJohnny> ...its a firefox plugin
[06:35] <SimplyJohnny> idk the format
[06:35] <amirman> SimplyJohnny: have you installed flash 10 beta yet?
[06:35] <wols_> LitomoSilver: blacklist the driver
[06:35] <rwk424x> LitomoSilver: blisti t
[06:35] <SimplyJohnny> yes amirman it worked
[06:35] <LitomoSilver> wols_: How do you do that, then? o_o
[06:35] <SimplyJohnny> but i dont know if it wont crash anymore yet
[06:35] <LitomoSilver> I understand the concept. Not necessarily how to do it. :P
[06:35] <wols_> !blacklist
[06:36] <nickrud> LitomoSilver sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
[06:36] <LitomoSilver> Ah.
[06:36] <amirman> SimplyJohnny: you can't view videos with flash 10?
[06:36] <SimplyJohnny> its not flash
[06:36] <rwk424x> how do I find out the ip of my NAS within ubuntu, its displayed as samba shared
[06:36] <wols_> SimplyJohnny: then what is it? unless you start giving enough info, helping you is hard...
[06:36] <nickrud> LitomoSilver that doesn't blacklist, it removes it from the running kernel
[06:36] <nickrud> !blacklist | LitomoSilver
[06:36] <SimplyJohnny> i dont know
[06:36] <SimplyJohnny> its on tv-links

[06:37] <LitomoSilver> Hmm. etc, eh? Alright, be back in a few minutes.
[06:37] <SimplyJohnny> anything that requires mplayer or totem/vlc plugin doesnt work
[06:37] <wols_> moreau: glxinfo |grep direct
[06:38] <rwk424x> !nas
[06:38] <nickrud> moreau most of it is useless to all but programmer/debuggers anyway
[06:38] <moreau> yeah thats the only line i understood :P
[06:38] <rwk424x> :/
[06:38] <varunn> !sex
[06:38] <LitomoSilver> Ok, I see a few blacklist stuff.
[06:38] <LitomoSilver> blacklist would be the one I try then?
[06:38] <wols_> rwk424x: is the NAS mounted?
[06:38] <trimeta> !drugs > trimeta
[06:38] <nickrud> LitomoSilver blacklisting's intent is to prevent a module loading on boot.
[06:38] <trimeta> !rocknroll > trimeta
[06:39] <bobertdos> SimplyJohnny: Well guess what? I'm in Windows right now, and it won't play in FF or IE, even after I let the ActiveX control run!
[06:39] <isleshocky77> So I got my screens setup the way I want using xrandr. How can i make this a permanent setting that I can switch to and from using xorg.conf or something?
[06:39] <LitomoSilver> I know, nickrud.
[06:39] <BrandonS> Anyone know a good ftp?
[06:39] <LitomoSilver> I'm trying to blacklist my intel integrated sound.
[06:39] <rwk424x> wols_: I dont know, i just plugged it in, and its visible in my samba shares, but how can you mount a nas? I mean its connected only with a network cable
[06:39] <nickrud> LitomoSilver to remove support for the intel sound chip, try  sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
[06:39] <Ahadiel> trimeta, You can message ubottu with the !trigger and it'll respond in that PM.
[06:39] <LitomoSilver> Already did that. Got no confirmation that it was done. It was then, I take it?
[06:40] <trimeta> Ahadiel: Good to know; I tried joining #ubuntu-bot to see if there was a place to easily mess with him, but no such luck.
[06:40] <nickrud> LitomoSilver that should work in a running system. lsmod | grep snd will show you the sound modules loaded
[06:40] <nickrud> LitomoSilver and yes, no output is nearly always a sign of success rather than failure
[06:40] <julio_neto> guys ...
[06:41] <excess21> ?
[06:41] <Elijah> BrandonS, what does that mean?
[06:41] <LitomoSilver> Ok, I just wanted to be sure. :P
[06:41] <alex1> http://www.pastebin.org/57215 anyone good with mythtv want to help me get set up? I have this error message whe n I choose 'watch tv'
[06:41] <Elijah> jscinoz, if you want a dropbox invite check your pm
[06:41] <BrandonS> ftp client
[06:42] <jscinoz> Elijah, thanks
[06:42] <BrandonS> Anyways will ask later
[06:42] <julio_neto> I'm trying to use a Conxant fax/modem ... I installed it and look like everything is fine. But I can't use g-ppp only wvdial, why gnome-ppp dosen't work?
[06:42] <taladel> Anyone have success installing the X-Fi beta drivers?
[06:42] <zz0> sil: check the .conf file
[06:42] <nickrud> julio_neto try right clicking the network applet in the systray, and defining your dialup there. gnome-ppp is pretty much depreciated these days
[06:43] <kindofabuzz> are there still ISP's that use ppp?
[06:43] <bobertdos> Wow, it's quiet tonight.
[06:43] <alex1> Mythtv go to TV, when I click watch tv screen goes black for a sec, thenflicks back to menu.. Any ideas folks?
[06:43] <nickrud> kindofabuzz dialup
[06:43] <kindofabuzz> oh
[06:43] <julio_neto> nickrud, tks man... I'll do it
[06:43] <LitomoSilver> Ok, using grep, I can see snd_intel8x0 35356  4
[06:43] <kindofabuzz> i thought ppp was that old school dsl
[06:43] <moreau> 'fixme:' errors mean whatever it is hasnt been implemented yet right? meaning I cant possibly fix it :P
[06:43] <amirman> alex1: try #mythtv
[06:44] <alex1> thats for dev, I am trying mythtv-users but noone is home!
[06:44] <nickrud> julio_neto that's left click, manual config, sorry. Trusted my memory ;)
[06:45] <taladel> When an install fails and creates a dump log, where does it go?
[06:45] <nickrud> moreau no, it's fixable, dive on in ;)
[06:46] <puwei> hi ,i want install xubuntu 7.10 to my pc  from  disk , i don't hav cd-rom, can you tell me how should i do that
[06:46] <nickrud> !install | puwei there's a few methods availble here
[06:46] <nickrud>  ubottu ...
[06:47] <moreau> fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33eda4,0x00000000), stub!---Anyone know what this means? trying to run world of warcraft with '-opengl' appended
[06:47] <puwei> !install
[06:47] <trimeta> !trigger
[06:47] <nickrud> !test
[06:47] <moreau> hes a little old give him sometimes
[06:47] <moreau> some time*
[06:47] <bobertdos> :D
[06:47] <pretender> I have created a spare EXT 3 partition for storage how do i mount it to say backup partition
[06:48] <bobertdos> that was funny
[06:48] <puwei> ok thank you
[06:48] <PucKid> good morning (:
[06:48] <Saladin> puwei: I would personally install 8.04 (Unless you HAVE to have 7.10), download the ISO file from the website, mount it using a mounting program on Windows, and then run the CD which allows you to install from Windows.
[06:48] <SimplyJohnny> can anyone help me get mozilla-mplayer
[06:49] <moreau> saladin: using that theory, is it possible to install windows from ubuntu?
[06:49] <LitomoSilver> Should be possible, moreau.
[06:50] <puwei> saladin my os is ubuntun 8.04  ,i want change it to xubuntu 7.10 , my pc is old
[06:50] <Saladin> moreau: Not that I am aware of. Windows has to install from boot.
[06:50] <LitomoSilver> >_>; If you can install Ubuntu from Windows, likewise you can probably try installing Windows from Ubuntu. >_>;
[06:50] <chalcedony> windows likes to be first.. it insists on it
[06:50] <bobertdos> SimplyJohnny: I'm just checking, but did you see what I said earlier?
[06:50] <phrakk> can somebody help me with my audio it suddenly stopped working a while ago and i havn't been able to fix it
[06:50] <Saladin> moreau: Whereas Hardy has an Install From Windows option.
[06:50] <DrRealHouse> moreau: Actually you can install Ubuntu in Windows...
[06:50] <SimplyJohnny> no
[06:50] <Daniel_2> DrRealHouse, how?
[06:50] <eugene_> Anyone here familiar with flash cs3?
[06:50] <anubis5555> hi, is skype works on ubuntu 64bit?
[06:51] <DrRealHouse> moreau: on a file system directly in the ntfs drive
[06:51] <robert__> does anyone know how to install frostwire in xubuntu?
[06:51] <moreau> eh imalready on ubuntu man, wrong person :P
[06:51] <DrRealHouse> anubis5555: Yes, it is possible but there are some special tweaks to do, nothing hard, it is document on the net.
[06:51] <bobertdos> SimplyJohnny: I said, I'm in Windows and I couldn't get anything from that site to play in FF or IE, even after I let the ActiveX control install.
[06:52] <amirman> moreau: you were ridiculing the concept - he had the right person
[06:52] <anubis5555> could you give a link DrReal House
[06:52] <DrRealHouse> robert__: Go to www.getdeb.net, there is a package if I remember well.
[06:52] <Guest88207> does anyone know how to install frostwire in xubuntu?
[06:52] <anubis5555> thank you, I'ii see it
[06:52] <moreau> what was i ridiculing?
[06:53] <Guest88207> thanks
[06:54] <Guest88207> address not found
[06:54] <Daniel_2> Does anyone know how to remove an install of ubuntu from my grub menu?
[06:54] <Daniel_2> It failed, and i need it gone so i can restart
[06:54] <amirman> Daniel_2: you need to edit your menu.lst file in /boot/grub/
[06:54] <DrRealHouse> anubis5555: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype to install skype on amd64
[06:54] <Flannel> Daniel_2: Restart what?  an  Ubuntu install?
[06:55] <trimeta> Daniel_2: Are you dual-booting with another Linux distro? If not, you might want to do more than just mess with menu.lst.
[06:55] <Daniel_2> Amirman: that made no sense.
[06:55] <Daniel_2> Flannel: yup
[06:55] <Flannel> Daniel_2: just start the install again
[06:55] <anubis5555> thank you DrRealHouse
[06:55] <Vegombrei> hi ... whats 64 studio ?
[06:55] <Daniel_2> Trimeta: no. I'm trying to get my computer to boot from a CD instead of the HDD so i can install ubuntu
[06:56] <trimeta> Daniel_2: That's a matter of changing your BIOS to make the CD come first.
[06:56] <Daniel_2> Trimeta: and how would this be done.
[06:56] <moreau> hit F2 or whatever when its booting to go into BIOS
[06:56] <trimeta> When your computer first boots, it'll say something like "Press F2 for setup," it might not be F2, so actually read.
[06:56] <moreau> @daniel2
[06:56] <Vegombrei> Daniel_2: try setting it to boot from cd rom thru your bios setup
[06:56] <anubis5555> DrRealHouse: I think it is easy
[06:56] <anubis5555> :)
[06:57] <Daniel_2> Trimeta: been through that a few times. It won't let me set any priority, just gives me three options (HDD, CD, and LAN) and then says press enter to select
[06:57] <DrRealHouse> anubis5555: Possible, it is been a while that my skype is installed :)
[06:57] <Saladin> Daniel_2: Your BIOS should give you instructions at the bottom of the screen, as to what buttons to press.
[06:57] <Daniel_2> Saladin: nope.
[06:58] <trimeta> Daniel_2: You hit the wrong one then; it might have had "F2 for boot options or F12 for setup," or something like that.
[06:58] <Daniel_2> Saladin:  i've looked twice. I get nothing. Stupid Toshiba is trying to fuck me over.
[06:58] <Daniel_2> Trimeta: F12 for boot options, and i tried it.
[06:58] <LitomoSilver> Or Del for the setup
[06:58] <LitomoSilver> >_>;
[06:58] <LitomoSilver> Then you're not doing it fast enough.
[06:58] <DrRealHouse> Daniel_2: Some PC offer at boot time : F2 to setup, F8 to select boot method (or something similar depending of the PC brand)
[06:58] <nickrud> F8 on some machines I've used
[06:58] <camrail> f2 on my toshiba laptop
[06:59] <Vegombrei> Daniel_2: hit F 12
[06:59] <LitomoSilver> There's a set time to get into the BIOS before the boot splash shows up.
[06:59] <Daniel_2> I got into the F12 boot menu. From there, it gives me no options.
[06:59] <LitomoSilver> o_o
[06:59] <Daniel_2> LitomoSilver: i've gotten into the menu
[06:59] <nickrud> Daniel_2 how about the bios setup, maybe some are disabled
[06:59] <trimeta> Daniel_2: The setup menu is what you want, not the boot menu.
[06:59] <Daniel_2> Let me go again and write down exactly what it says. i'll see from there.
[06:59] <trimeta> Or BIOS setup, some other optoin.
[06:59] <Vegombrei> Daniel_2: how are you talking to us while your computer is on the bios screen ??
[07:00] <Daniel_2> It isn't, Vegombrei
[07:00] <LitomoSilver> That would help, Daniel_2
[07:00] <Vegombrei> hehehe
[07:00] <Daniel_2> brb
[07:00] <prince_jammys> boot menu sounds right. i've never seen a BIOS that doesn't allow one to change the boot order.
[07:00]  * nickrud waits for Daniel_2 to bop Vegombrei upside the head
[07:00] <DrRealHouse> Vegombrei: Never heard of brain implants :)
[07:00] <LitomoSilver> Same, prince_jammys
[07:00] <Vegombrei> Daniel_2: remember .. its the boot sequence you need to change
[07:01] <Daniel_2> Oh, one final thing: I have a problem with the way the .iso is on the CD. When I put it into the drive, it doesn't run the .iso. just opens an explorer window showing the contents of the CD. Did i do it wrong?
[07:01] <l337ingDisorder> nickrud: Hey you were just helping me with screensavers... I checked in /usr/share/applications/screensavers/ and there are a bunch of .desktop files that look like what I might be supposed to delete...
[07:01] <Atomicsunset> well i got the ndiswrapper to work finally
[07:01] <trimeta> Daniel_2: Yes.
[07:01] <trimeta> You did it wrong.
[07:01] <Daniel_2> Crud.
[07:01] <nickrud> l337ingDisorder yeah, did you see my last to you? Pointed at that one ;)
[07:01] <prince_jammys> Daniel_2: you need to burn it as an image, not a file
[07:01] <l337ingDisorder> nickrud: I tried moving them to ../bak, logged out, and logged back in... they still show up in the screensaver list
[07:01] <Daniel_2> I put it on there as a data file using the windows burner
[07:01] <Saladin> Daniel_2: You need to burn the .iso with Nero or something, that will make it an actual install disc
[07:02] <Atomicsunset> but i cant ping anything nor myself and my connection drops to 0% after a minute
[07:02] <l337ingDisorder> nickrud: Yep that's why I'm addressing you specifically this time around ;)
[07:02] <Daniel_2> Okay. now i have to go get nero... this is a complicated set up.
[07:02] <prince_jammys> Daniel_2: check the options of whatever software you're using to burn it, and make sure to burn as image
[07:02] <LitomoSilver> Yeah you did do wrong, Daniel_2
[07:02] <nickrud> l337ingDisorder try removing all but 2, and setting random, see what happens
[07:02] <Daniel_2> I'll be back with Nero.
[07:02] <Saladin> Daniel_2: Google for 'Image burners' - You may find a free one.
[07:02] <Vegombrei> Daniel_2: yeah you need nero
[07:02] <prince_jammys> Daniel_2: 'deepburner' will do it, for windows. it's free.
[07:02] <Atomicsunset> nero can be found for free
[07:02] <nickrud> imgburn, ifrarecorder, both gpl
[07:03] <trimeta> Atomicsunset: True, but not as easily as others.
[07:03] <Ahadiel> Daniel_2, use http://imgburn.com
[07:03] <l337ingDisorder> nickrud: ok hold on
[07:03] <Saladin> You know, I like that Ubuntu picks up the file is a .iso and then offers you the selection automatically to burn it as an image.
[07:03] <Saladin> ^^
[07:03] <Atomicsunset> what causes wifi connections to drop to 0% in ubuntu after 1 minute?
[07:03] <nickrud> l337ingDisorder I'm in and out tonight
[07:04] <LitomoSilver> Really, Saladin?
[07:04] <Saladin> Atomicsunset: Why bother searching for a free Nero? Not like he'll be using Windows much longer. ;)
[07:04] <LitomoSilver> Didn't know that. Should be useful to know.
[07:04] <moreau> anyone know why a folder wouldnt appear in nautilus,but would list itself in terminal
[07:04] <Daniel_2> Saladin, that would help, if it weren't that i'm trying to burn an image to use Ubuntu lol
[07:04] <Atomicsunset> i can connect but i have no internet and it loses all activity but claims im still connected
[07:04] <Atomicsunset> very true saladin
[07:04] <nickrud> moreau there's a way to mark folders to be skipped in the display ...
[07:04] <prince_jammys> moreau: what command did you use to list it in the terminal?
[07:04] <Saladin> moreau: It is probably hidden. Use CTRL+H to show hidden files and folders
[07:04] <Atomicsunset> i want to say the same for myself!
[07:05] <LitomoSilver> This is why I have a dual-boot config. >_>;
[07:05] <Atomicsunset> my wfi is being a pain tho
[07:05] <Atomicsunset> same here
[07:05] <Atomicsunset> im in windows atm
[07:05]  * julio_neto encheu o saco
[07:05] <LitomoSilver> XP and Ubuntu. Though this computer will be wiped clean soon and have Xubuntu installed on it... or Kubuntu.
[07:05] <LitomoSilver> I can't remember which ones is for slower computers.
[07:06] <Daniel_2> Ok. Now I'm using ImgBurn. I just click "write image file to disc" and click the file?
[07:06] <Ahadiel> LitomoSilver, Xubuntu (XFCE)
[07:06] <Ahadiel> Daniel_2, yes
[07:06] <prince_jammys> LitomoSilver:  xu. but flux is good too
[07:06] <Saladin> Yeah, LitomoSilver: Just double click the .iso file, and it comes up with the option to burn. ^^
[07:06] <LitomoSilver> Lol, then I burned Xubuntu.
[07:06] <LitomoSilver> flux?
[07:06] <Saladin> Is xfce any good?
[07:06] <Ahadiel> Xfce is nice and lightweight.
[07:06] <prince_jammys> LitomoSilver: the fluxbox desktop
[07:06] <Saladin> I've tried KDE but hated it.
[07:06] <LitomoSilver> I've also used DSL... DamnSmallLinux
[07:06] <LitomoSilver> Ah. Of course. Should've been obvious.
[07:06] <trimeta> Fluxbox is even more lightweight than XFCE.
[07:07]  * LitomoSilver facepalmed
[07:07] <Atomicsunset> is there a "netstumbler" for ubuntu?
[07:07] <LitomoSilver> And to get fluxbox would take what?
[07:07] <l337ingDisorder> nickrud: ok tried moving all into ../bak then moving three back into .
[07:07] <Atomicsunset> i wanna scan to see where my signal is strongest
[07:07] <l337ingDisorder> nickrud: now screensaver will only display Xlyap
[07:07] <prince_jammys> LitomoSilver: sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[07:07] <trimeta> LitomoSilver: Either install from the fluxbuntu CD, or apt-get install fluxbox.
[07:07] <Vegombrei> Saladin: whats different in KDE ?
[07:07] <moreau> agh sorry for the slow response, but its not a hidden folder, showing hidden items wnt display it
[07:07] <LitomoSilver> Getting fluxbox via apt-get
[07:07] <nickrud> l337ingDisorder then you're on the right path
[07:07] <l337ingDisorder> nickrud: although all of them still show up in the list and the little mini-preview for all of them works
[07:07] <moreau> and i cd-ed to the dir above it and did 'dir'
[07:08] <nickrud> l337ingDisorder that's probably due to the xml files we looked at earlier
[07:08] <Saladin> Vegombrei: Not a great deal, It is just a different GUI. For me, it is a little too kiddy - reminds me of XP but for six year olds.
[07:08] <prince_jammys> LitomoSilver: getting it setting up involves work, but it's pretty cool once you have it the way you want it. xubuntu is easier
[07:08] <Atomicsunset> is there an alternate wifi manager?
[07:08] <LitomoSilver> True, Xubuntu is easier.
[07:08] <LitomoSilver> I've used Xubuntu before.
[07:08] <l337ingDisorder> aha so I'll move them and replace the ones that I've re-enabled in the apps dir
[07:08] <LitomoSilver> It is pretty good. >:D
[07:08] <prince_jammys> Saladin: totally changeable through config
[07:08] <moreau> Atomicsunset: Wicd is an alternative--there are others as well
[07:09] <LitomoSilver> But to be honest, you could interchangeably use different sets, such as KDE, GNOME and Xfce right?
[07:09] <Saladin> prince-jammys: Yeah, but I'm lazy, and Gnome seems to be more pleasurable on the eyes. And, I've gotten used to Gnome now.
[07:09] <Atomicsunset> im just getting irritated with this almost there but not quite
[07:09] <prince_jammys> LitomoSilver: yep
[07:09] <LitomoSilver> Alrighty.
[07:09] <Ahadiel> LitomoSilver, Yup, I'm using Openbox/Gnome right now.
[07:09]  * prince_jammys is a config freak
[07:09] <LitomoSilver> Ok. Got Fluxbox installed.
[07:09] <Daniel_2> Okay, burning now. but is there anyway to install ubuntu without going through the boot up menu mess? Like as in: Install Ubuntu while windows is running, and through windows.
[07:09] <nickrud> I'd forgotten about that .hidden file, very handy
[07:10] <Vegombrei> LitomoSilver: one can use kde gnome xfce all at once ??
[07:10] <LitomoSilver> No.
[07:10] <Saladin> LitomoSilver: By using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and then replace ubuntu with xubuntu/kubuntu.
[07:10] <LitomoSilver> One at a time.
[07:10] <trimeta> But you can have them all installed at once.
[07:10] <LitomoSilver> Correct, trimeta
[07:10] <Rat409> !wubi | Daniel_2
[07:10] <Saladin> Then, you choose which you want to load at log in, through session manager.
[07:10] <nickrud> !install | Daniel_2 (see the tinyurl)
[07:10] <book> it's damn hot. what's your cpu temperature? mine 65c
[07:10] <LitomoSilver> Now to configure Fluxbox would take what?
[07:11] <prince_jammys> LitomoSilver: time......
[07:11] <SimplyJohnny> can anyone help me get mozilla-mplayer working
[07:11] <Saladin> Although, Enlightenment does mix both Gnome and KDE.
[07:11] <LitomoSilver> I've been wanting to cut down on the fat that Ubuntu has. :P And run it as minimally as possible while still having a gui >_>;
[07:11] <SimplyJohnny> none of the mozilla plugins are working
[07:11] <camrail> ubuntu has a program called andlinux that will put ununtu inside of windows xp
[07:11] <Daniel_2> One question on Wubi: does it overwrite the failed Ubuntu install or does it put up another one along side it?
[07:12] <Saladin> Daniel_2: Overwrite.
[07:12] <LitomoSilver> prince_jammys: I know it takes time. :P I mean what do I do to kickstart the fluxbox config?
[07:12] <LitomoSilver> Daniel_2: Overwrite.
[07:12] <nickrud> Daniel_2 it puts it into a file inside of windows
[07:12] <LitomoSilver> I had a failed install.
[07:12] <Daniel_2> Saladin, that's a huge help. Thanks.
[07:12] <l337ingDisorder> nickrud: ok tried moving all the .xml files and replacing the ones that have .desktop files left in the apps dir
[07:12] <l337ingDisorder> nickrud: same result
[07:12] <LitomoSilver> I overwrote it with a valid image of Ubuntu.
[07:12] <Daniel_2> U too litomosilver. you guys are great.
[07:12] <LitomoSilver> THerefore, here I am. =D
[07:12] <nickrud> l337ingDisorder not sure then. It's an interesting exercise ;)
[07:12] <LitomoSilver> You're welcome, Daniel_2.
[07:12] <Saladin> Litomo: Just use sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[07:13] <l337ingDisorder> well that's ballsack. :P heh
[07:13] <Saladin> Then you won't have to do a fresh install.
[07:13] <Saladin> Just use Xfce as your default GUI.
[07:13] <nickrud> l337ingDisorder it could be you would need to restart gnome-session, or gnome-screensaver if it's running as a daemon
[07:13] <prince_jammys> LitomoSilver: log out of your current session, and switch to 'fluxbox' in the sessions menu of the login screen
[07:13] <l337ingDisorder> hmm yea true, worth a shot :)
[07:13] <l337ingDisorder> brb
[07:13] <LitomoSilver> Ah.
[07:13] <LitomoSilver> Alrighty.
[07:13] <Rat409> LitomoSilver: try this  http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/fluxbox_on_ubuntu_guide/
[07:14] <LitomoSilver> Thanks, Rat409.
[07:14] <Rat409> sure
[07:14] <LitomoSilver> Looking at it now.
[07:14] <TEN> Keyboard weirdness: Yesterday my Ubuntu 8.04 system blocked access to all GUI objects except the current window (but not even its menu bar) - as I could still do Ctrl-Alt-F1 I found tail /var/log/messages  to hold several intermittent entries of  ﻿"SetGrabKeysState - disabled" and "SetGrabKeysState - enabled". After a reboot, the mystery continues with the numeric block being ignored (though NumLock can be turned on and 
[07:14] <TEN> Does anyone have an idea what could be causing these symptoms?
[07:15] <Daniel_2> Now if i use Wubi, will i still be able to run Ubuntu without starting up windows?
[07:15] <Ahadiel> Daniel_2, Yes, Wubi just makes use of the Windows Bootloader.
[07:15] <Daniel_2> Ahadiel, thanks
[07:15] <LitomoSilver> Indeed, Daniel_2.
[07:16] <Vegombrei> what is 64 Studio 2.0 VMWare Virtual Machine .. can i use this software to boot another operating system virtually ?
[07:16] <LitomoSilver> Though, if you do install Ubuntu AFTER installing via Wubi, it uses its own bootloader instead.
[07:16] <Daniel_2> thanks everyone. I know i've probably been a big pain and annoyed u guys a bit with my novice on the subject of Ubuntu/Linux in general. Hopefully i'll get it right.
[07:16] <LitomoSilver> We're all novices at one point or another. :P
[07:17] <nickrud> Vegombrei based on the name, I'd guess it's an image of ubuntu studio you can run inside of vmware
[07:17] <dunnen> except chuck norris
[07:17] <Daniel_2> That we are. Now if any of you ever need help with Windows or a Legal Problem within the U.S. 50, just ask for what I can do! lol
[07:17]  * nickrud eyes dunnen 
[07:17] <o_sam_o> Hi, why is this not logging to the log file? transmissioncli -u 15 -p 43333 a.torrent & > torrent.log
[07:17] <Saladin> Best advice for Windows: Install Ubuntu.
[07:18] <darkwind> Hi folks!
[07:18] <LitomoSilver> Of course, Saladin.
[07:18] <LitomoSilver> >_>;
[07:18] <LitomoSilver> Though I prefer mIRC over Konversation.
[07:18] <Daniel_2> But at least the windows install was a bit easier on the gray hair factory on my head.
[07:18] <darkwind> So, i'm looking for this software package simply called "rs232".
[07:18] <LitomoSilver> Of course, I can install it via Wine, but that's a risk I'd rather not take.
[07:18] <darkwind> Can't figure out what packge I need to install to get it.
[07:18] <darkwind> Googling has been unfruitful. ;)
[07:18]  * nickrud ducks
[07:18] <Saladin> LitomoSilver: Use XChat.
[07:18] <Vegombrei> nickrud: i have xp on a completely different hdd . can i boot that ?
[07:18] <darkwind> Does anyone here have any insight into that?
[07:18] <LitomoSilver> Vegombrei: Yes you can.
[07:19] <ompaul> HI folks I am about to _remove some bans_  - this will cause some scrolling for a couple of seconds
[07:19] <LitomoSilver> I have the exact same set up. XP on a different hard drive. Ubuntu on another.
[07:19] <Daniel_2> Cool. first step within Wubi: asks if i want to uninstall failed ubuntu... pwnd
[07:19] <LitomoSilver> Say HDD 1 has XP. HDD 2 has Ubuntu. Both can be booted.
[07:19] <ompaul> Done - normal service is resumed ;-)
[07:19] <LitomoSilver> Yes it does, Daniel_2 :D
[07:19] <nickrud> Vegombrei depending on where the disk is physically connected to the machine, you may have to massage ubuntu
[07:20] <Vegombrei> LitomoSilver: wow ! will you help me boot xp virtually thru vmware ?
[07:20] <LitomoSilver> nickrud: So long as you don't accidentally install Ubuntu on the disc that XP is on. :P
[07:20] <LitomoSilver> XP via VMWare? I don't have VMWare and this computer doesn't support hardware virtualization.
[07:21] <nickrud> LitomoSilver if it's on any drive but the first, usually it takes some mapping in the menu.lst. And with mixed sata/pata, it gets really painful.
[07:21] <LitomoSilver> True, nickrud.
[07:21] <Alsryth> litomoSilver - if you are running ubuntu as the host OS, you can install Virtual Box (sun) which may work for you.
[07:22] <LitomoSilver> Ah. True.
[07:23] <moreau> anyone gotten world of warcraft to run,but had a problem where no textures were showing, and then got it to work somehow?  I cant figure it out
[07:23] <Vegombrei> nickrud: i have 2 hdd's .. one 250 which has ubuntu .. and the other 80 gb .. that one has windows .. i only use windows coz of some gadgets like cameras and stuff that need windows for its software .. so it be great if i can run windows virtually .. that way i'll never hafta reboot and boot thru windows
[07:23] <nickrud> Vegombrei there's a way to use vmware to run the windows partition directly, but I've never used it myself. Don't know much about it.
[07:24] <LitomoSilver> Really?
[07:24] <LitomoSilver> Should be an interesting research. =D
[07:24] <Alsryth> moreau | try playing with the vertical synch, tripple buffering settings under the video options in the game.
[07:24] <amirman> /dcc send -passive MTecknology /home/amir/Pictures/backgrounds/ws_Black_Floor_1280x800.jpg
[07:24] <Vegombrei> nickrud: yeah .. lots of people told me i could make a mess if i didnt know exactly what to do ..
[07:24] <amirman> haha
[07:24] <nickrud> Vegombrei sounds possible :)
[07:24] <MTecknology> amirman: didn't actually send ??
[07:24] <prince_jammys> then you can install ubuntu in that, and run ubuntu from windows from ubuntu.
[07:25] <LitomoSilver> Alright, thanks for the help guys.
[07:25] <LitomoSilver> I'll part and stay on the server and rejoin when I awaken.
[07:25] <arooni________a> on hardy server edition, how do i change the cron editor so that it's VIM and not whatever half assed thing the default is
[07:25] <LitomoSilver> You guys have a good night/morning.
[07:25] <nickrud> arooni    sudo update-alternatives --config editor
[07:26] <prince_jammys> arooni_____: or export EDITOR=vim VISUAL=vim in .bashrc.
[07:26] <Daniel_2> AGH. why did accidentally pressing the space bar cancel my install of Ubuntu through Wubi? i was only at about 8%, but still...
[07:26] <lebutcherpc> hey can i use blubster on ubuntu
[07:27] <lebutcherpc> or how can i download music
[07:27] <nickrud> prince_jammys visual is intended for a gui editor iirc
[07:28] <prince_jammys> nickrud: i thought it was for a terminal 'VI'sual editor
[07:28] <lebutcherpc> is there a similar program for ubuntu
[07:28] <lebutcherpc> please help
[07:28] <lebutcherpc> probobly a stupid question
[07:29] <nickrud> prince_jammys I'm sitting here trying to remember an exercise someone and I did a while back here: that's what I remember as the result, but don't remember the path
[07:29] <Vegombrei> hey what does this mean ?? E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[07:29] <Vegombrei> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[07:29] <Rat409> !p2p | lebutcherpc
[07:29] <nickrud> Vegombrei you have more than one package manager open most likely
[07:29] <prince_jammys> lebutcher: i don't know blubster, but there's frostwire, nicotine, museeq....
[07:30] <Lanken> adept says that if I upgrade a certain package, the requested status is BREAK (upgrade)
[07:30] <Lanken> this is bad, right?
[07:30] <moreau> !xgl
[07:30] <Lanken> how can I find out why it is happening and what I can do about it?
[07:30] <Vegombrei> nickrud: nope .. just the one
[07:30] <Vegombrei> nickrud: its the update thingie
[07:30] <lebutcherpc> thanks for the answer
[07:30] <FAJALOU> can anyone go into emerald and find some default settings for me?
[07:31] <lebutcherpc> what do you mean by defoult
[07:31] <nickrud> Vegombrei make sure ... I'd log out completely if you're not sure what else to look for
[07:32] <lebutcherpc> and what does anybody think between beryl and compiz-fusion
[07:32] <Vegombrei> nickrud: dude its the update thing .. i click on update .. and thats the msg i get
[07:32] <trimeta> lebutcherpc: beryl and compiz merged to make compiz-fusion.
[07:32] <trimeta> So go with compiz-fusion.
[07:32] <nickrud> Vegombrei I understand ... do you have synaptic, adept, apt running, anything?
[07:33] <lebutcherpc> i have been trying to switch to fusion but i can't get it
[07:33] <lebutcherpc> it gets stuck on starting the window decorator
[07:34] <Dedoimedo> hi people anyone needs help??
[07:34] <chalcedony> hi Dedoimedo :)
[07:34] <lebutcherpc> yeah how do i start compiz-fusion
[07:34] <SimplyJohnny> where do i get the gthread package
[07:34] <SimplyJohnny> its not in the repos
[07:35] <SimplyJohnny> and the forums arent helping
[07:35] <Dedoimedo> lebutch, what's ur os - which version
[07:35] <Vegombrei> nickrud: nada .. nothing running
[07:35] <FAJALOU> can anyone go into emerald and find some default settings for me?
[07:35] <lebutcherpc> ubuntu 7.10
[07:35] <nickrud> Vegombrei ok, try logging out completely, and back in. Just to be sure there's no stray process.
[07:36] <Dedoimedo> do you have the graphic card installed?
[07:36] <lebutcherpc> is it also know as ultimate 1.6 or what
[07:36] <lebutcherpc> and yes i do
[07:36] <nickrud> Vegombrei before you do that, try  ps -A | grep apt
[07:36] <prince_jammys> nickrud: man crontab says either would work. i never learnt the distinction. i have both set to vim
[07:36] <John_kho> hello

[07:38] <John_kho> i don't know what happened
[07:38] <lebutcherpc> why need to save history
[07:39] <nickrud> prince_jammys yeah, I forget the details, but there's situations where visual works nicely as a gui. Like I said, I don't remember the details and I'm not going to try grepping my logs for it
[07:39] <John_kho> actually i don't need that history
[07:39] <John_kho> but i need my BACK button
[07:39] <John_kho> it can't be activated without history
[07:39] <lebutcherpc> have u tried uninstall and reinstall
[07:39] <Dedoimedo> butch, did u see what i wrote: install compizconfig-settings-manager and emerald via synaptic or command line
[07:39] <Rat409> John_kho: try firefox -P create a new profile
[07:39] <Vegombrei> nickrud: yep .. that worked .. thanks
[07:40] <John_kho> i tried
[07:40] <John_kho> but still the same
[07:40] <lebutcherpc> yeah trying it right now
[07:40] <Rat409> John_kho: ls -al .mozilla
[07:40] <|Louis|> hey, how could I run a .bat file under ubuntu6
[07:40] <|Louis|> hey, how could I run a .bat file under ubuntu?
[07:40] <nickrud> John_kho try closing firefox, doing ps -A | grep firefox to be sure it's closed, then run    sudo chown  -R <yourusername>:<yourusername> .mozilla
[07:40] <Dedoimedo> ok
[07:40] <Rat409> John_kho: you have ownership?
[07:40] <untraceable> how can i get to a page that will show me availiable drivers on madwifi.com
[07:41] <John_kho> how can i check if i have ownership or not
[07:41] <prince_jammys> ls -ld .mozilla
[07:41] <nickrud> John_kho the command Rat409 gave you does
[07:41] <John_kho> ﻿Rat409: John_kho: ls -al .mozilla ==> what does this mean?I am  a noob in linux
[07:41] <|Louis|> hey, how could I run a .bat file under ubuntu?
[07:41] <nickrud> John_kho or at least the top level. Could be some file down below got changed when you ran it with sudo ;)
[07:42] <prince_jammys> ah, good call
[07:42] <nickrud> |Louis| .bat files don't work in ubuntu
[07:42] <|Louis|> you can run them
[07:42] <butterz> |Louis|, why would you want to run a bat file under ubuntu?
[07:42] <|Louis|> i know we can.
[07:42] <prince_jammys> i was thinking if the permissions are messed, other dirs could be too. but then there's the sudo factor.
[07:42] <|Louis|> To load oldschol games.
[07:42] <LSD|Ninja> |Louis|: with DOSBox :P
[07:42] <Dedoimedo> louis u can convert the bat file to bash format....
[07:42] <Rat409> John_kho: /cl
[07:42] <Saladin> How can I make myself owner of a folder through the terminal? I am tired of logging in as root to do it.
[07:42] <Rat409> whoops
[07:42] <d-woodrow> bash file.bat
[07:42] <LSD|Ninja> Saladin: chown
[07:42] <|Louis|> LSD|Ninja: I have downloaded DOSBox, I dont know what to do next, like how to use it!
[07:42] <butterz> |Louis|, maybe uner wine?
[07:42] <Saladin> LSD|Ninja: Elaborate please?
[07:42] <|Louis|> wine :\?
[07:43] <nickrud> |Louis| assuming it's written broadly enough, and doesn't use windows commandisms
[07:43] <Dedoimedo> louis did u install via synaptic?
[07:43] <|Louis|> butterz:  Wine wont do nothing to .bat files.
[07:43] <|Louis|> yes Dedoimedo
[07:43] <LSD|Ninja> If he's running old DOS games then he wants DOSBox
[07:43] <Dedoimedo> start the dosbox then...
[07:43] <|Louis|> I don't know how to, Dedoimedo
[07:43] <FrozenFire_> Hi all, I just installed a fresh install of Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE3. I've installed Sun Java 6 via adept, however when I try to launch Java from the CLI, I receive this message: java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:44] <FrozenFire_> Does anyone know of a fix for this bug?
[07:44] <LSD|Ninja> Saladin: chown user:group file you may need to be the original user to change it though, I can't remember
[07:44] <|Louis|> It's installed and everything, I just don't know what to do next to "use'' it  :\
[07:44] <Dedoimedo> open terminal and type dosbox...
[07:44] <|Louis|> ok
[07:44] <|Louis|> *ubuntu noob*
[07:44] <|Louis|> *unix noob, in fact*
[07:44] <nickrud> Saladin  sudo chown <user>:<user> <dir>
[07:44] <prince_jammys> Saladin: be careful
[07:44] <FrozenFire_> |Louis|, Linux ;)
[07:44] <LSD|Ninja> |Louis|: first thing you need to do is set your config file up with the correct number of cycles for your hardware and then to automatically mount a location to be your C: drive
[07:44] <amirman> how do i add Secure WebDAV HTTPS to my "connect to server" dialogue in "places"? as of now the closest thing i have is "WebDAV HTTP"
[07:44] <butterz> FrozenFire_, try running java6 by installing kubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:45] <|Louis|> *Linux noob*
[07:45] <Dedoimedo> im installing it now on this system, just for fun
[07:45] <John_kho> can anybody help me please?
[07:45] <nickrud> amirman if it's not there, you won't be able to add it without programming
[07:45] <Saladin> prince_jammys: What can I break doing that? Given your warning?
[07:45] <untraceable> wat madwifi driver can anyone recomend for atheros 5008
[07:45] <|Louis|> LSD|Ninja: What is a cycle?
[07:45] <FrozenFire_> butterz, I've done so
[07:45] <LSD|Ninja> untraceable: it doesn't work with the one that comes with hardy?
[07:45] <Dedoimedo> u can also start dosbox via applications > games > dosbox emulator
[07:45] <prince_jammys> Saladin: is it just a regular old directory?
[07:46] <amirman> nickrud: :( i'm looking at a how-to guide that acts like it's as easy as pie and that the option should just be there, was it removed?
[07:46] <nickrud> amirman show me the guide, will you?
[07:46] <Saladin> prince_jammys: It is for things like my /var/www folder, that is my webserver for testing sites on and things.
[07:46] <LSD|Ninja> |Louis|: How many CPU cycles per second DOSBox tries to emulate. You have to set it to the highest value your hardware can support otherwise performance will be crappy
[07:46] <prince_jammys> Saladin: ah ok.
[07:46] <|Louis|> :\..
[07:47] <|Louis|> i have no ideaaaaa
[07:47] <FAJALOU> can anyone go into emerald and find some default settings for me?
[07:47] <LSD|Ninja> |Louis|: Google around, there should be plenty of tutorials on the subject. Maybe even consider looking into a front end for it
[07:47] <nickrud> Saladin the only gotcha there is the directory you want to have the webserver write to (like file uploading) needs to be owned by www-data
[07:47] <amirman> nickrud: it says it's for edgy and dapper, so i guess it's been removed, but whyyyy?
[07:47] <John_kho> hei,it works a little bit
[07:47] <John_kho> only the history parts
[07:47] <lebutcherpc> ok so i installed the compiz manager now what
[07:47] <prince_jammys> Saladin: people cause breakage with chown commands sometimes, especially recursively on important system dirs. /var/www is ok, especially for testing and such
[07:47] <John_kho> now i can use my homepage
[07:47] <Vegombrei> LSD|Ninja: whoa ! thats quite a nick hehe
[07:48] <slashy34> does anybody know what the law in the us made microsoft do to it's windows server software to help law enforcement? i know apache failed to implement the requirement.  as a result criminals don't use ms server. they use apache.
[07:48] <nickrud> amirman good question. You might find some answers on bugs.ubuntu.com, or in the changelog for nautilus (/usr/share/nautilus/doc
[07:48] <Saladin> nickrud: No worries there, it is only for local testing. But thanks for the tip, man.
[07:48] <Dedoimedo> butch one more package i forgot its gnome-compiz-manager
[07:48] <FrozenFire_> butterz, Do you know why else it might not work? I've tried absolutely everything. I've scoured the Google results that mention that error message, I've installed Sun Java 5, fiddled with environment variables, everything.
[07:48] <Dedoimedo> please install it as well
[07:48] <nickrud> Saladin I do the same thing for testing, and drupal bites my butt every time, I always forget that ;)
[07:49] <lebutcherpc> ok
[07:49] <Saladin> nickrud: Ah, okay.
[07:49] <amirman> nickrud: i found the answer - it looks like i need to download davfs2 :)
[07:50] <Kiyiko> so.....the volume controll slider controlls volume, just fine, yet my keyboard controll does nothing
[07:50] <SimplyJohnny> whats the name of xlib packages
[07:50] <butterz> not sure why :^/
[07:51] <FrozenFire_> I'm installing ubuntu-restricted-extras as well, to because that meta package seems to contain more than the kubuntu one...
[07:52] <lebutcherpc> alright done
[07:52] <butterz> FrozenFire_, i assume you are having problems running java through firefox?  maybe by removing .mozilla/ it will rebuild your settings?
[07:53] <FrozenFire_> butterz, No, I'm running a Java application.
[07:53] <FrozenFire_> A piece of software called OpenBravo
[07:53] <FrozenFire_> Which I had working on an identical install on another system.
[07:55] <butterz> FrozenFire_, sorry, i don't do anything java (that i know of :P)
[07:55] <Dedoimedo> lebutch hows it going?

[08:04] <prince_jammys> kilroy: xchat probably has a menu item for that.
[08:04] <linuxguymarshall> Dedoimedo: It plays as if there is audio but there is none. Audacity says it can not detect an audio device
[08:04] <scottdnz> you're lucky dedoimedo, would love to study linux
[08:04] <kilroy> it does
[08:04] <kilroy> but it doesnt have the server i want
[08:04] <Saladin> Dedoimedo: I would also love to study Linux
[08:05] <Dedoimedo> linuxguy, what's the exact error code u get, please try separately for vlc and audacity
[08:05] <Dedoimedo> saladin, scott, it's up to u... power up the pc, start reading man pages and sweat .....
[08:05] <lebutcherpc> dedoimedo: i also love to study ubuntu
[08:05] <brightbelt> #Xubuntu
[08:05] <scottdnz> sweat is right...there are so many config files to look at
[08:05] <Dedoimedo> im more of a redhat guy actually, it's a more server-dedicated distro ... ubuntu at home...
[08:06] <amirman> i just ran: sudo chmod u+s /sbin/mount.davfs : and i'd like to undo it, will it be a problem if i don't?
[08:06] <lebutcherpc> im barely starting at whitehat
[08:06] <Saladin> Dedoimedo: LOL! That reminds me of my brother and I trying to install Redhat on my laptop to try it out. Sufiice to say, it failed.
[08:06] <scottdnz> I heard red hat is better than fedora...
[08:06] <Saladin> *Suffice
[08:06] <linuxguymarshall> Dedoimedo: VLC gives none. Audacity says, "Expression 'ValidateParameters( outputParameters, outputDeviceInfo, StreamMode_Out )' failed in 'src/hostapi/oss/pa_unix_oss.c', line: 1210
[08:06] <linuxguymarshall> "
[08:07] <Dedoimedo> saladin, no reason to use redhat if u dont mean business...
[08:07] <Dedoimedo> ok linux guy, first paste that thing into google, let's see what the world gets...
[08:07] <Saladin> Dedoimedo: Yeah. We were just playing with it. Well, wanted to.
[08:07] <Dedoimedo> linuxguy, im not familiar with that error code so gimme a few moments
[08:07] <InsPYre> maybe ubuntu could use its own hat
[08:08] <Dedoimedo> scott, fedora and rh are basically identical
[08:08] <dee_> say guys, I know there's tonnes of questions going by in here
[08:08] <dee_> but I have one too :)
[08:08] <kindofabuzz> 42
[08:08] <Dedoimedo> dee, aks...
[08:08] <scottdnz> I thought redhat ran better because they spend money on it...
[08:08] <InsPYre> lets put on our ubuntu hats
[08:08] <linuxguymarshall> Dedoimedo:Two results. One is Audacity source and the other is not in english
[08:08] <Dedoimedo> centos redhat fedora 95-100% commonality
[08:08] <dee_> I'm trying to copy a hard drive.... it's a real old one
[08:08] <ytsestef> hi
[08:09] <dee_> an 89MB hahaha
[08:09] <Gnea> scottdnz: that's like saying that Vista is better than Ubuntu because they spent more money on it.
[08:09] <dee_> using DD
[08:09] <linuxguymarshall> dee_:DAMN!
[08:09] <InsPYre> ubuntu is marketable
[08:09] <FrozenFire_> Bizarre.. The issue I was having with java was limited to the copy in /usr/local/bin
[08:09] <InsPYre> redhat is not very marketable
[08:09] <Gnea> InsPYre: not in the desktop market..
[08:09] <dee_> if I run dd with dd if=/dev/hdc of=/folder/win.img bs=512 conv=noerror,sync
[08:10] <Dedoimedo> linuxguy see if this helps u, see the last post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacity/+bug/231651
[08:10] <dee_> it takes forever and ever
[08:10] <dee_> and lots of input/output error
[08:10] <paspos> hey there
[08:10] <dee_> and out of it all, I don't get a very usable image
[08:10] <paspos> ok so i got a little pb
[08:10] <dee_> I don't think it's reading it correctly
[08:10] <paspos> i need a file system expert
[08:10] <ytsestef> i can't boot ubuntu or mint when i plug my IDE hard disk. it loads busybox and hangs. when i unplug it and use only the sata drives everyhing is happy. any ideas?
[08:10] <Gnea> dee_: you forgot count=1
[08:10] <dee_> oh?
[08:10] <paspos> my knowledge is lacking here
[08:10] <dee_> :)
[08:10] <Gnea> dee_: unless you're trying to backup the entire disk :)
[08:11] <linuxguymarshall> ytsestef: Use SATA drives?
[08:11] <dee_> yes entire disk
[08:11] <paspos> ok so I got a file on a hard disk  i can't rm
[08:11] <dee_> now funny thing is
[08:11] <Gnea> dee_: are you familiar with clonezilla?
[08:11] <dee_> I know it's an ancient drive
[08:11] <paspos> the thing is it's a ntfs parition
[08:11] <dee_> I can run it through spinrite
[08:11] <dee_> and it has NO PROBLEMS
[08:11] <dee_> I can run it in winblows scandisk
[08:11] <dee_> on throurow
[08:11] <ytsestef> ﻿linuxguymarshall: i have 4 sata drives and one IDE. when i leave only the satas it boots. when i plug the IDE along with the satas it fails
[08:11] <Gnea> paspos: which filesystem driver did you use to mount it with?
[08:11] <dee_> and it has no problems
[08:12] <dee_> you have to mount to use DD?
[08:12] <Rat409> !ask | paspos
[08:12] <paspos> when I rm i got :
[08:12] <paspos> No such file or directory
[08:12] <linuxguymarshall> ytsestef:Internal or External?
[08:12] <dee_> sorry there ubottu :)
[08:12] <Gnea> dee_: no, dd while it's mounted is a bad thing. any part of /dev/hdc should not be mounted at all.
[08:12] <ytsestef> ﻿linuxguymarshall: internal
[08:12] <paspos> when I rm I got
[08:12] <dee_> yes that's what I thought
[08:12] <paspos> I cant rm
[08:12] <paspos> no such file or directory
[08:13] <Gnea> paspos: if you can't answer my question, i can't answer yours.
[08:13] <paspos> how ever the file exist
[08:13] <paspos> yeah sorry
[08:13] <linuxguymarshall> ytsestef:I have never worked with multiple drives of different types.
[08:13] <Gnea> good, then don't do it again.
[08:13] <paspos> it looks like it's corrupted
[08:13] <paspos> cuz when i ll
[08:13] <paspos> here is what I get
[08:13] <linuxguymarshall> ytsestef:Look into adaptors. maybe they exist
[08:13] <Gnea> paspos: now, can you tell me what it's using when you type df -Th  ?
[08:13] <ytsestef> ﻿linuxguymarshall: thanks for your interest :)
[08:13] <paspos> here is what I get
[08:14] <Gnea> !repeat | paspos
[08:14] <paspos> I can't paste
[08:14] <Rat409> !enter | paspos
[08:14] <dee_> Ok, here my best shot at one line. I'm trying to produce a PXE image of win98 that runs in ramdisk. PXE and syslinux is already up and going.  I used an old 89MB hard disk and created a super small Win98SE install. But I can't get DD to make a usable image of this drive. Lots of input/output error.
[08:14] <Gnea> good, we don't want your paste
[08:14] <Gnea> !paste | paspos
[08:14] <amirman> i just ran: sudo chmod u+s /sbin/mount.davfs - did i do something dangerous?
[08:14] <ytsestef> ﻿linuxguymarshall: the obvious solution is to buy another sata drive to replace the IDE. but i think it's a waste of money to buy hardware because of a bug
[08:14] <paspos> I wanna remove a file that is corrupted on my ntfs partition
[08:14] <paspos> rm doesn't work
[08:15] <paspos> when I do ll
[08:15] <Gnea> paspos: and all i want to know is what does it say for the Type for your ntfs mount?
[08:15] <paspos> I get question mark everywhere
[08:15] <linuxguymarshall> ytsestef:You could also try hooking it up to a USB 2.0 port
[08:15] <paspos> well I'm sshing a mac server
[08:16] <Gnea> well this is an ubuntu support channel, not a mac support channel.
[08:16] <LSD|Ninja> paspos: OS X has no write support for NTFS so you can't delete from NTFS volumes mounted under it - not even from the Terminal
[08:17] <ytsestef> ﻿linuxguymarshall: that would invole buying an enclosure plug i don't have the space in my desk for an external drive
[08:17] <paspos> well I installed this software that makes it worl
[08:17] <paspos> work
[08:17] <ytsestef> ﻿linuxguymarshall: *plug = plus
[08:17] <paspos>  it's called ntfs for mac os
[08:17] <paspos> but i'n sure it'd be the same on ubuntu
[08:17] <Gnea> !offtopic | paspos
[08:18] <paspos> the file is screwed
[08:18] <paspos> i plug my disk on windows and i got a file doesnt exist
[08:18] <Gnea> paspos: *ahem*
[08:19] <moreau> whats the cmd to delete a directory, the opposite of 'mkdir'
[08:19] <Gnea> this is your last warning: stick to topic.
[08:19] <Gnea> moreau: rm -rf
[08:19] <kibibyte> hi
[08:20] <Flannel> moreau: rmdir technically, but that'll only work on empty dirs (rm -rf is more versatile)
[08:20] <Rat409> and dangerous
[08:20] <prince_jammys> rm -r is safer
[08:20] <julio_neto> does Inkblot work well with a HP C3100?
[08:20] <plik> reading the man page is wiser
[08:21] <SimplyJohnny> how do i fix an umet dependency
[08:21] <Chris|> is there a way to hide the icons such as Computer, Mounted devices, and network, by command instead of gconf-editor?
[08:21] <Gnea> SimplyJohnny: meet it.
[08:21] <dee_> My ubuntu also can't even mount this 89MB drive, yet dos will just fine
[08:22] <SimplyJohnny> ...thanks Gnea
[08:22] <SimplyJohnny> that takes care of it
[08:22] <Gnea> SimplyJohnny: sorry, you haven't been very specific...
[08:22] <moreau> download whatever its asking for
[08:22] <julio_neto> where is the man page? XD
[08:22] <SimplyJohnny>   libglib2.0-dev: Depends: libglib2.0-0 (= 2.14.1-1ubuntu1) but 2.16.3-1 is to be installed
[08:22] <Gnea> man command
[08:22] <LSD|Ninja> Chris|: hide them where? Ubuntu doesn't put them on the desktop by default, I had to download a program to put them back
[08:22] <julio_neto> hehehe
[08:22] <SimplyJohnny> i tried
[08:22] <SimplyJohnny> it wont let me
[08:22] <Gnea> then shoot it?
[08:23] <moreau> in the FACE
[08:23] <Chris|> LSD|Ninja, there is a option in gconf to hide those specific icons, or more or less turn them on
[08:23] <zeeee> hi, my usb microphone doesn't seem to be working in hardy... any hints?
[08:23] <Chris|> LSD|Ninja, i want a way to turn them off by command, anyone know of a way
[08:23] <moreau> when u try to install libglib2.0-0 what does it say
[08:23] <zeeee> (my audio jack mic works fine)
[08:23] <zeeee> (i.e. audacity records it fine)
[08:23] <hhp2k> Hey everyone, here's a good one for you.
[08:23] <Saladin> Chris| You could always install Ubuntu Tweak.
[08:24] <zeeee> (but audacity doesn't record the other usb mic)
[08:24] <SimplyJohnny> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[08:24] <SimplyJohnny>   libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.12.0) but it is not going to be installed
[08:24] <SimplyJohnny>                  Depends: libpango1.0-dev (>= 1.10.0-2) but it is not going to be installed
[08:24] <SimplyJohnny>                  Depends: libatk1.0-dev (>= 1.6.1-2) but it is not going to be installed
[08:24] <SimplyJohnny> E: Broken packages
[08:24] <FloodBot2> SimplyJohnny: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:24] <Gnea> !paste | SimplyJohnny
[08:24] <Rat409> just mv Desktop Desktop.bak then mkdir Desktop,logout/login
[08:24] <Chris|> Saladin, i specificly need to know the command, i'm working ona  project
[08:24] <hhp2k> I just installed Ubuntu, and I have a Creative SoundBlaster 5.1 Sound Card - with my 5.1 surround sound system plugged into it, it creates a lot of white noise where there should be silence.  Why is this happening, and is there something I can do to fix it?
[08:24] <Saladin> Chris| Ah, okay.
[08:24] <Chris|> Saladin, sorry i'm not sure if there is a command if any hints would be nice
[08:24] <zeeee> anyone?
[08:24] <moreau> what happens when you try to install libglib-2.0-0
[08:24] <Rat409> SimplyJohnny: sudo apt-get -f install
[08:25] <amirman> i do NOT recommend installing ubuntu tweak
[08:25] <SimplyJohnny> did that Rat409
[08:25] <SimplyJohnny> nothing
[08:25] <Saladin> amirman: Why not?
[08:25] <Gnea> zeeee: try turning it on with the mixer?
[08:25] <moreau> SimplyJohnny: ﻿what happens when you try to install libglib-2.0-0
[08:26] <SimplyJohnny> it outputs that message moreau
[08:26] <SimplyJohnny> broken packages
[08:26] <amirman> Saladin: it offers nothing that a default ubuntu install doesnt have, nor does it make it easier, it just puts it all under one GUI, also the instructions on the website somehow locked me out of X, luckily when i rebooted i was fine
[08:26] <SimplyJohnny> how do i get mplayerplugin working
[08:26] <Gnea> SimplyJohnny: can you sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade   ?
[08:27] <Chris|> I'm trying to make a script to hide the desktop icons, the normal files in ~/Desktop work, when i hide them but of course the other types such as Computer, and Mounted devices dont hide because that is a gconf option :/
[08:27] <hhp2k> ﻿I just installed Ubuntu, and I have a Creative SoundBlaster 5.1 Sound Card - with my 5.1 surround sound system plugged into it, it creates a lot of white noise where there should be silence.  Why is this happening, and is there something I can do to fix it?
[08:27] <Gnea> Chris|: have you tried cutting them or moving them to trash?
[08:28] <Rat409> Chris|: just mark them as hidden by renaming them to .whatever as in dotfile
[08:28] <moreau> SimplyJohnny: that output looks like what it would say if you tried to install ﻿ibgtk2.0-dev
[08:28]  * Chris| sighs
[08:28] <SimplyJohnny>   linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic ntfs-3g ssl-cert
[08:28] <Gnea> hhp2k: do you have any microphones plugged in?
[08:28] <Rat409> Chris|: then logout/login
[08:28] <SimplyJohnny> it says package not found if i try to install the others
[08:28] <hhp2k> Gnea: No, no microphones at all.
[08:28] <Chris|> Gnea, my script makes ~/.Desktop and moves the files in ~/Desktop to ~/.Desktop *but* the other icons dont hide because they are controlled by gconf
[08:29] <Gnea> hhp2k: is it like a constant humming sound?
[08:29] <moreau> sudo apt-get install libglib-2.0-0  --thats what returned those lines of errors you pasted in here earlier, right?
[08:29] <hhp2k> Gnea: Kinda sounds like the white noise from a TV. Constant buzzing. It changes in grade and slightly in frequency when I turn the knob on my main speaker.
[08:29] <Ahadiel> Chris|, You can also use gconf-editor from the command line to change keys/values.
[08:30] <zeeee> Gnea, i tried fidgeting around with the volume controls for a long time, and i tried recording from each of the sources listed in Sound Recorder, but i'm getitng nothing
[08:30] <Chris|> Ahadiel, how can i do this? i man'd gconf-editor but got nothing useful
[08:30] <Gnea> hhp2k: does this only happen when the computer is turned on and it's booted up?
[08:30] <Ahadiel> Chris|, Not sure exactly, but I know it's possible.
[08:30] <zeeee> isn't there some way of simply determining whether the usb device got properly picked up by the system?
[08:30] <hhp2k> Gnea: Untested. Want me to try that and report back?
[08:30] <paspos> what would people do in ubuntu to remove foo.bar (on a ntfs partition say mounted with ntfs-3g)
[08:30] <paspos> when ll give :
[08:30] <paspos> drwxrwxrwx 3 user staff 189 2008-07-25 02:41 .svn/
[08:30] <zeeee> (recognized by the system)
[08:30] <paspos> -????????? ? ? ? ? ? fou.bar
[08:30] <paspos> and rm foo.bar gives:
[08:30] <paspos> m: cannot remove `foo.bar: No such file or directory
[08:30] <FloodBot2> paspos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:30] <Gnea> hhp2k: sure
[08:30] <gregors> is there a CD/DVD for upgrading Hardy to latest packages as alternative to downloading packages from internet with apt-get update apt-get upgrade ???
[08:31] <hhp2k> Gnea: 2 minutes.
[08:31] <kippy> Guys can you suggest a good blogging client for Ubuntu, somewhat like Windows live writer?
[08:31] <Chris|> Ahadiel, ok thanks for the hint :)
[08:31] <hhp2k> Gnea: Thanks for your help. :)
[08:31] <Chris|> I'll go look it up
[08:31] <Gnea> hhp2k: np
[08:31] <Gnea> zeeee: checking something...
[08:31] <tonyyarusso> gregors: Yes, the installation disks can be used as a repo.
[08:31] <Blaqlight> lol
[08:31] <SimplyJohnny> i have libglib2.0 installed
[08:31] <SimplyJohnny> and its saying i dont
[08:31] <SimplyJohnny> and that i have unmet dependancies
[08:32] <gregors> yes but installation disks doasn't contain latest updated software....right tonyyarusso
[08:32] <gregors> ?
[08:32] <Gnea> zeeee: ok, have you checked preferences in audacity?
[08:32] <tonyyarusso> gregors: Very latest, no.  But they will let you upgrade from a previous version.
[08:32] <zeeee> Gnea, i'm not even dealing with audacity right now, just sound recorder
[08:32] <gregors> tonyyarusso, true
[08:32] <tonyyarusso> gregors: How is downloading a CD easier than downloading the packages on the CD easier anyway?
[08:33] <Gnea> zeeee: forget soundrecorder. go with audacity for now :)
[08:33] <zeeee> Gnea, ok... what prefs am i looking for?
[08:33] <paspos> how do you remove files like this :
[08:33] <gregors> tonyyarusso, I have bad internet at home
[08:33] <paspos> drwxrwxrwx 3 benoit staff 189 2008-07-25 02:41 .svn/
[08:33] <paspos> -????????? ? ?      ?       ?                ? Vision
[08:33] <paspos> in ubuntun ?
[08:33] <Gnea> zeeee: standard Audio I/O - recording device
[08:33] <gregors> I'm on fast internet now
[08:33] <paspos> ubuntu
[08:33] <FloodBot2> paspos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:33] <paspos> say I wanna remove vision
[08:33] <tonyyarusso> gregors: but good at work/school/freind?  You could make a full mirror on a USB drive if you want too.
[08:33] <gregors> I use my laptop
[08:33] <Gnea> paspos: AGAIN, what filesystem driver is the system using to mount it with?
[08:34] <zeeee> Gnea, i guess what i meant was: what setting should be set to what?
[08:34] <paspos> let say ntfs-3g
[08:34] <Blaqlight> Im so tired of not being able to finish a single download.
[08:34] <kippy> Guys anyone can suggest a blogging client?
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> kippy: Drivel.
[08:34] <gregors> tonyyarusso, how ?
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> Blaqlight: wget -c to the rescue!
[08:34] <Gnea> kippy: logjam
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> gregors: apt-mirror.
[08:34] <Gnea> paspos: are you sure?
[08:34] <paspos> i did a scandisk in windows
[08:34] <gregors> how much space does this take to create ?
[08:35] <paspos> it didn't repair anything
[08:35] <Gnea> i don't care if you defragged it, are you SURE?
[08:35] <hhp2k> Gnea: Correct. The speakers stop the white noise as the system is unloading, and the speakers restart the white noise as the system is starting.
[08:35] <gregors> tonyyarusso,  how much space does this take to create ?
[08:35] <tonyyarusso> gregors: I think a binary-only mirror for one architecture will be something like 20 GB.
[08:35] <tonyyarusso> (rough guess)
[08:35] <paspos> looks like there is some corruptiion somewhere
[08:35] <Gnea> hhp2k: okay, open your mixer and mute everything. does it stop?
[08:35] <kippy> tonnyarusso, Gnea : Thanks looking them up
[08:36] <Gnea> kippy: cheers :)
[08:36] <Gnea> paspos: indeed.
[08:36] <Blaqlight> tonyyarusso: not to this problem, my internet is lower that (pick an expletive)
[08:36] <gregors> tonyyarusso, is there a way to choose only packages I want ?
[08:36] <paspos> well do you think ubuntu could fix this
[08:36] <paspos> i'd boot with a live cd is it works
[08:37] <Gnea> the question you need to ask yourself is:do you think that YOU can work with us in order to fix it?
[08:37] <paspos> what is the check disk tool for ntfs ?
[08:37] <amirman> chkdsk
[08:37] <paspos> i did a chkdsk in windows
[08:37] <Gnea> because, right now, the only answer that i can arrive to on that question is: NO.
[08:37] <hhp2k> Gnea: Current options on mixer: Master, PCM, Line-in, CD, Microphone, PC Speaker
[08:37] <amirman> paspos: oh for linux :P
[08:37] <paspos> i gotta no error found
[08:37] <tonyyarusso> Blaqlight: cron job to check if running and re-run every ten minutes if not?
[08:37] <hhp2k> Gnea: All muted. Noise is continuing.
[08:37] <paspos> yeah in ubuntu
[08:37] <tonyyarusso> gregors: Sure - AptOnCD would be good for that.
[08:37] <Gnea> hhp2k: check your connections.
[08:38] <hhp2k> Gnea: yessir
[08:38] <Blaqlight> tonyyarusso: nope still dies.
[08:38] <Gnea> hhp2k: make sure they are all plugged in securely and that there are no small bits of metal, paper or other obstructions.
[08:38] <tonyyarusso> Blaqlight: erm, stop trying to connect to the Internet from the ISS then?
[08:39] <Gnea> paspos: have you considered ntfsfix?
[08:39] <Addernator> u know what limewire is?
[08:39] <Blaqlight> tonyyarusso: and they want $18.95 a month for this...
[08:39] <Gnea> Addernator: do you?
[08:39] <Ahadiel> !p2p | Addernator
[08:39] <Addernator> wrong window ignore that
[08:39] <Addernator> :D
[08:39] <Gnea> heh
[08:39] <Lanken> hi, my package tree seems to be broken (amazing since I just installed last weekend).  I'm not sure what I did wrong.  Can someone help me resolve it?
[08:40] <Chris|> Ahadiel, I found what i wanted,  gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible --type boolean "true"
[08:40] <Gnea> Lanken: can you pastebin your error messages along with the command that's providing it?
[08:40] <Chris|> thanks
[08:40] <vox> does mdadm support UUIDs?
[08:40] <Blaqlight> tonyyarusso: but I created the internet why shouldn't I be able connect to it.
[08:40] <Ahadiel> Chris|, Oh, so it's gconftool-2, good to know.
[08:40] <Chris|> =)
[08:41] <hhp2k> Gnea: Connections were removed, cleaned, and ports were cleaned. Result: 2 front and 2 back speakers now have no noise, center speaker (Independant to the orange cable) still has noise.  Looks like there might be something in there, so I'll keep trying.  But that seems to have worked :) Thanks so much!
[08:42] <Lanken> Gnea: http://zackglennie.com/error
[08:42] <J-a-k-e> hey does anyone know how to setup a LFE crossover for pulseaudio
[08:42] <Gnea> hhp2k: try playing some tunes :)
[08:42] <Addernator> hey does anyone know whow to setup a connection to a server runing on windows buisness server 2003?
[08:42] <Lanken> Gnea: this is kubuntu 8.04, by the way.
[08:42] <Gnea> Lanken: i don't see an error....
[08:43] <Lanken> why are packages being kept back?
[08:43] <Gnea> Lanken: try: sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:43] <Lanken> Gnea: I need to use apt-get?
[08:43] <Gnea> so you've tried it?
[08:43] <Flannel> Lanken: No, you just have to use something other than safe-upgrade
[08:44] <Gnea> Lanken: even sudo aptitude upgrade  should suffice
[08:44] <Lanken> Flannel: I only try safe-upgrade because it told me upgrade was dasabled.
[08:44] <Blaqlight> can someone help me fix my internet connection.
[08:44] <Addernator> network setup help?
[08:44] <hhp2k> Gnea: things just got complicated :x
[08:44] <Gnea> hhp2k: oh?
[08:44] <Flannel> Lanken: That's interesting.  You could use dist-upgrade
[08:44] <Gnea> Addernator: yes.
[08:45] <Addernator> gnea: i have a server in my network that i use for file storage but i dont know how to connect to it in ubuntu
[08:45] <hhp2k> Gnea: It appears that.. center speaker has loudest noise, front left speaker has no sound, front right speaker has little sound, creates noise at louder volumes, same for back right speaker, and back left speaker has no sound at all.
[08:45] <hhp2k> Gnea: :(
[08:45] <HyperStream[a]> if ive built a new pc - will ubuntu work or do i need to reinstall like i do with windows?
[08:45] <Gnea> Addernator: well why not?
[08:45] <Blaqlight> lol eta on a 245KB file... 30 minutes and growing.
[08:45] <Lanken> Gnea: http://zackglennie.com/error3
[08:45] <LSD|Ninja> HyperStream[a]: it should be fine
[08:46] <moreau> hyper--are you replacing the HD?
[08:46] <Saladin> Anyone know why loading a flash video, specifically a YouTube flash video, would cause Firefox to crash?
[08:46] <Gnea> hhp2k: hrmmm
[08:46] <ryansmith> Help! My desktop just finished an upgrade and now X won't start after the reboot.
[08:46] <LSD|Ninja> Saladin: the linux flash plugin sucks
[08:46] <HyperStream[a]> moreau no im attempting to put this harddrive into it
[08:46] <HyperStream[a]> and boot ubuntu
[08:46] <hhp2k> Gnea: Might be useful to mention that I just moved from Windows to Linux, and had not previously encountered these problems.
[08:46] <Addernator> gnea: well i can see it on the network but for some reason the login details i used on windows vista will not work
[08:46] <Flannel> Lanken: You shouldn't be using hardy-proposed
[08:46] <Gnea> Lanken: ok - upgrade, not dist-upgrade
[08:46] <HyperStream[a]> and prolly installed windows then redo the grub boot menu?
[08:46] <Saladin> LSD|Ninja: I had no problems until I had to reinstall two nights ago?
[08:46] <Lanken> Gnea: http://zackglennie.com/error2
[08:47] <Blaqlight> HyperStream[a]: save yourself from the pain. install ubuntu.
[08:47] <Lanken> Flannel: what's hardy-proposed?
[08:47] <Gnea> Lanken: doesn't exist.
[08:47] <Flannel> Lanken: apt-cache policy firefox-3.0, pastebin that
[08:47] <LSD|Ninja> HyperStream[a]: worst case you'll have to edit grub or fdisk to account for changes in the disk layout. Everything else should be taken care of automatically
[08:47] <Saladin> LSD|Ninja: On both 7.10 and 8.04 from a Distro upgrade.
[08:47] <HyperStream[a]> Blaqlight: pff gaming on ubuntu
[08:48] <hhp2k> Gnea: New observational note: removing the orange wire from the sound card disables all speakers, for some odd reason. Black & Green wires are still plugged in, and should be controlling the other speakers.
[08:48] <gaelfx> I'm having a problem with my internet connection, it runs at about 1/10th the speed it does in Windows. and the issue is not compiz (not running), does anyone have any ideas?
[08:48] <Lanken> Flannel: http://zackglennie.com/error4
[08:48] <Lanken> Flannel: maybe I upgraded to the wrong firefox-3.0 package?
[08:48] <Gnea> hhp2k: have you done anything in regards to the sound settings in the preferences menu?
[08:48] <Addernator> gaelfx: firefox isnt limiting your ports is it?
[08:48] <moreau> lol gaelfx who told you it could be compiz?? slap them for me, pls
[08:49] <Blaqlight> HyperStream[a]: all my games work in ubuntu just fine (WoW and Diablo II)
[08:49] <hhp2k> Gnea: Sound preferences have not been accessed as of yet.
[08:49] <moreau> Blaqlight: did you ever hae, then fix, graphics errors
[08:49] <Lanken> (err, installed the wrong package...it wouldn't have been an upgrade, as firefox doesn't come with ubuntu)
[08:49] <gaelfx> moreau: well, for a while they were right, until my school's network went down, and now I'm back to it being like it was before
[08:49] <moreau> i WoW
[08:49] <Gnea> hhp2k: check it out - and what mixer are you using?
[08:49] <Saladin> gaelfx: You're on a shared connection?
[08:49] <hhp2k> Gnea: Alsa Mixer.
[08:49] <Gnea> hhp2k: excellent!
[08:50] <Blaqlight> moreau: with those two no, only problem I had was diablo won't run full screen.
[08:50] <gaelfx> Addernator: no, it's not a Firefox problem
[08:50] <Flannel> Lanken: Firefox does come with Ubuntu.  Let me fire up my hardy box and poke around the repos, that'll be a lot faster than doing it by proxy
[08:50] <Addernator> any one know how to get flyff working on ubuntu? ;D
[08:50] <Lanken> Flannel: kubuntu, not ubuntu.  Firefox doesn't come with it.
[08:50] <gaelfx> Saladin: I'm on a pppoe that runs through a static IP
[08:50] <Lanken> Flannel: but I didn't think this was a kde-related problem, so I'm here.
[08:50] <Gnea> hhp2k: btw, what soundcard is that, exactly?  lspci | grep audio  <-- that should say
[08:50] <HyperStream[a]> Blaqlight BF2142 ? Counter Strike ? with smooth gameplay ? i have wow working on cedega in ubuntu. shit quality
[08:50] <LSD|Ninja> Lanken: firefox doesn't come with ubuntu? since when?
[08:50] <hhp2k> gnea: jesus holy mother of god
[08:50] <Saladin> gaelfx: Hahaha. That means nothing to me!! I mean, are you connection through school?
[08:50] <Gnea> hhp2k: ?!
[08:50] <Lanken> LSD|Ninja: sorry, typo.  kubuntu.
[08:50] <moreau> did you ever have to change anything to get your terrain graphics to work in WoW?
[08:51] <hhp2k> Gnea: Just opened the mixer and noticed that PCM & Master were still muted. Unmuted them, unaware of music playing full blast at 3:51 AM.
[08:51] <Flannel> Lanken: No, this would have nothing to do with that
[08:51] <Lanken> my beef with kubuntu is that it isn't trying to be the best kde-based ubuntu possible.  it's trying way too hard to use only kde stuff.
[08:51] <gaelfx> Saladin; yes, but it's not an issue with the network, since I know that Windows creates a sustainable and useful connection
[08:51]  * hhp2k falls over
[08:51] <moreau> I just got WC3 working, I <3 that game
[08:51] <Lanken> Flannel: mm.
[08:51] <Gnea> LMFAO
[08:51] <HyperStream[a]> counterstrike in crossover / cedga / wine - all low fps. low quality  --- on the other hand i play them in windows. max settings smooth as.
[08:51] <Blaqlight> HyperStream[a]: don't use cedega, it runs perfectly in regular wine. BF 1942 works fine too, though I don't use it.
[08:51] <HyperStream[a]> Blaqlight bf2142 doesnt work fine. no support for punkbuster
[08:52] <Lanken> HyperStream[a]: well wine is slower that windows.
[08:52] <Blaqlight> BF 2142 has too many requirements to run in wine.
[08:52] <Gnea> hhp2k: oh that's good... if you got it down soon enough, some people should have just turned over in their beds, but went right back to sleep
[08:52] <hhp2k> Gnea: It appears that with PCM Muted, sound quality is destroyed, and with it unmuted, sound quality is perfect.
[08:52] <Addernator> can BF2 run in wine?
[08:52] <moreau> anyone got Age of Conan working in ubuntu?
[08:52] <HyperStream[a]> so if i didnt mind the quality / fps in games id use ubuntu --
[08:52] <Flannel> Lanken: paste the output of apt-cache policy libpango1.0-0
[08:52] <HyperStream[a]> but since when i game i want some serious graphics. i choose windoze.
[08:52] <hhp2k> Gnea: Hopefully the bass didn't simulate a localized earthquake. :x
[08:52] <Gnea> hhp2k: yes, PCM is extremely volitile to the ALSA infrastructure
[08:53] <cr0w> hi i have a problem with a headphone..
[08:53] <Blaqlight> HyperStream[a]: its a compatibility layer nothing more. its akin to running a windows 98 program in XP
[08:53] <Gnea> hhp2k: you'll be fine :)
[08:53] <HyperStream[a]> but on the other hand with this new phenom / am2 board and a nvidia 280 it may change :)
[08:53] <LSD|Ninja> HyperStream[a]: you bought a Phenom? lol
[08:53] <Addernator> CAN BF2 RUN IN WINE????
[08:53] <gaelfx> Saladin: so, is there any reason you ask?
[08:53] <Gnea> !ask | cr0w
[08:53] <Gnea> !caps | Addernator
[08:53] <HyperStream[a]> LSD|Ninja yeah has b3 stepping
[08:53] <gaelfx> Addernator: check the Wine IRC
[08:53] <Blaqlight> Addernator: I don't think so
[08:53] <HyperStream[a]> LSD|Ninja Intel too pricey
[08:54] <Lanken> Flannel: http://zackglennie.com/error5
[08:54] <gaelfx> Addernator: or better yet the Wine APPDB
[08:54] <Flannel> Lanken: 404
[08:54] <hhp2k> Gnea: It seems so, everything is much better now.  Thanks so much for your help, that was bothering the hell out of me. :P
[08:54] <HyperStream[a]> Addernator: #winehq
[08:54] <bullgard4> 'detlef@MD97600:~$ cd /usr/src/linux && make gconfig' calls the dialog window 'Linux Kernel v2.6.24.3 Configuration'. > Help > About writes: "gkc is copyright (c) 2002 Romain Lievin <roms@lpg.ticalc.org>." What does 'gkc' stand for?
[08:54] <LSD|Ninja> HyperStream[a]: b3 makes them 'slow' instead of 'dog slow'
[08:54] <Blaqlight> if it has HUGE graphics requirements e.g. barely run in windows... it will never run in wine
[08:54] <cr0w> I do not succeed to listen to music [in headphone]
[08:54] <Gnea> hhp2k: enjoy :)
[08:54] <gaelfx> I'm having a problem with my internet connection, it runs at about 1/10th the speed it does in Windows. and the issue is not compiz (not running), does anyone have any ideas?
[08:54] <hhp2k> Gnea: Now, what music player would you recommend for linux?
[08:54] <gaelfx> hhp2k: Amarok :D
[08:54] <Saladin> gaelfx: Sorry there, distracted a little. I was going to say; are you sure it's not the network? Have you tried the same terminal etc on a Windows box?
[08:54] <Gnea> hhp2k: xmms or audacious
[08:54] <Lanken> Flannel: http://zackglennie.com/error5
[08:55] <gaelfx> Saladin: yep, thanks though
[08:55] <Flannel> Lanken: Alright, well... there's your problem.  Try this: sudo aptitude update, and pastebin the output
[08:55] <Blaqlight> Hitman Blood Money is a good example of a game that requires windows.
[08:55] <hhp2k> Gnea, gaelfx: Amarok, xmms or Audacious. Will check into each. Thanks =D
[08:55] <LSD|Ninja> HyperStream[a]: Also, Intel havetaken the price/performance crown back now too. There's no real reason to consider Phenom
[08:55] <HyperStream[a]> LSD|Ninja no in australia :)
[08:56] <gaelfx> hhp2k: although for Amarok, you need to install KDE support, so if you want to keep fewer programs on your computer, it's better not to
[08:56] <LSD|Ninja> HyperStream[a]: even here too
[08:56] <hhp2k> gaelfx: Oh, hell yeah. Not making that mistake again. :P
[08:56] <gaelfx> hhp2k: but i like that because there are some pretty good KDE progs out there
[08:56] <hhp2k> gaelfx: KDE is great and all, but jeez, talk about sending the buffet brigade for a sandwich
[08:57] <cr0w> help me please
[08:57] <hhp2k> (That was probably way too obscure for anyone to understand. oO)
[08:57] <Lanken> Flannel: http://zackglennie.com/error6
[08:57] <Gnea> cr0w: what headphones? what soundcard? what mixer?
[08:57] <gaelfx> hhp2k: true, true
[08:58] <Lanken> hhp2k: hah, whatever.  so many kde programs are so good that it's well worth it.
[08:58] <cr0w> gnea : those to earpiece
[08:58] <gaelfx> halp! mys intarnets r broked!
[08:58] <Flannel> Lanken: alright... those... moved temporarilys are causing the problem.  Basically, you're only seeing half of the new packages.  Not sure why theyre 302, but switching to a different mirror (even if its just for this update) should work fine.
[08:58] <cr0w> how I see that soundcard I have?
[08:58]  * hhp2k hands gaelfx a drill and a couple of screws
[08:58] <Gnea> cr0w: lspci | grep audio
[08:58] <Lanken> ok.
[08:59]  * Gnea taps gaelfx on the shoulder with a roll of duct tape
[08:59] <Lanken> Flannel: incidentally, can you think of any reason that firefox-2 should pull in synaptic?  crazy shit...
[08:59] <hhp2k> Gnea: okay, so now it appears that the back left & right speakers don't work.  Is alsa 5.1 surround ready, or do I need additional packages / software?
[08:59] <_trine> I lost my shift characters in 8.04 and checked google but could not find an answer but I have found out a solution in Advanced Desktop Effects Settings / Preferences you can reset to defaults this cured my problem
[08:59] <Flannel> Lanken: try cc.archive.ubuntu.com
[08:59] <gaelfx> haha, it's funny how much easier it is to get attention here when acting stupid rather than giving a clearly stated problem
[08:59] <hhp2k> gaelfx: Everyone needs a break sometimes :P
[08:59] <Lanken> there's a graphical way of doing it in adept...I'll try that first.
[09:00] <LSD|Ninja> gaelfx: there's a bash quote on that. Funny because it's true
[09:00] <gaelfx> LSD|Ninja: really? could you point me to it?
[09:00] <Gnea> hhp2k: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/the-simple-way-to-get-51-surround-sound-audio-working-in-ubuntu/
[09:00] <LSD|Ninja> gaelfx: http://bash.org/?152037
[09:00] <Flannel> Lanken: firefox-2?  Ah.  It doesn't require it.  It recommends it inadvertantly.  recommends ubufox, which depends on apturl, which depends on synaptic
[09:00] <hhp2k> Gnea: Beautiful. Thanks so much.
[09:01] <Gnea> cr0w: please keep the chat in the channel.
[09:01] <cr0w> i don't succed to view soundcard i have with  lspci | grep audio
[09:01] <Lanken> Flannel: ubuntu isn't really the right flavor for me :\ I'll probably stick with it because it's well-supported, but it's just always wanting to do things that seem silly to me.
[09:01] <hhp2k> LSD|Ninja: Lmao, love that bash quote
[09:02] <gaelfx> LSD|Ninja: haha, thanks man, brightened my day (sort of)
[09:02] <Gnea> cr0w: what about:  lspci | grep Multi
[09:02] <SimplyJohnny> im trying to update and i keep getting E: /var/cache/apt/archives/sysvinit-utils_2.86.ds1-47~bpo40+1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/mesg.1.gz', which is also in package sysvutils
[09:02] <SimplyJohnny> can i just rem /usr/share/man/man1/mesg.1.gz?
[09:03] <jeeves__> has anyone had the issue of your screen greying out (kind of like what it does when it asks you for the admin password) while running an nVidia card?
[09:03] <sugi> What's the best sega genesis emulator???
[09:03] <Gnea> LSD|Ninja: ha!
[09:03] <Flannel> SimplyJohnny: No
[09:03] <LSD|Ninja> sugi: I can't say I know of anything for Linux... I use Kega Fusion on Windows and Genesis Plus on OS X
[09:03] <Gnea> sugi: dgen
[09:04] <Lanken> sugi: maybe mendafen
[09:04] <bullgard4> 'detlef@MD97600:~$ cd /usr/src/linux && make gconfig' calls the dialog window 'Linux Kernel v2.6.24.3 Configuration'. > Help > About writes: "gkc is copyright (c) 2002 Romain Lievin <roms@lpg.ticalc.org>." What does 'gkc' stand for?
[09:04] <SimplyJohnny> i did
[09:04] <Lanken> sugi: mednafen is a multi-console emulator. if they've got it, it's probably decent.
[09:04] <SimplyJohnny> how do i fix it
[09:04] <Flannel> SimplyJohnny: Where did you get sysvinit-utils anyway?
[09:04] <gaelfx> fudgicles! it's 34 degrees :S my air conditioner is gonna die
[09:04] <SimplyJohnny> i cant update anything because that error keeps coming up
[09:04] <sugi> LSD|Ninja: Gnea Lanken: thanks :D
[09:04] <SimplyJohnny> idk Flannel im in update manager
[09:04] <SimplyJohnny> its in there
[09:04] <jeeves__> Flannel, hey man, how's it going?
[09:05] <Flannel> SimplyJohnny: What extra repos do you have enabled?  Well, first, what version of Ubuntu are you on?
[09:05] <Flannel> Howdy jeeves__
[09:05] <hhp2k> Gnea: do you have experience with .asoundrc? When opening that file with gedit, it's a new file. :/
[09:05] <SimplyJohnny> gutsy
[09:05] <SimplyJohnny> i have all the repos enabled
[09:05] <jeeves__> Flannel, I'm still fighting with this video issue man
[09:05] <Gnea> hhp2k: right, just copy and paste the contents that it says into it and save it
[09:05] <gaelfx> anyone feel like helping me diagnose a networking issue?
[09:05] <LSD|Ninja> Gens has a Linux port but I don't know how good it is. I stopped using it on Windows because the guy was taking his time in updating it.
[09:05] <Gnea> gaelfx: no way, get out! ;)
[09:06] <SimplyJohnny> do i need it Flannel ?
[09:06] <Flannel> SimplyJohnny: pastebin your sources.list please (its /etc/apt/sources.list)
[09:06] <hhp2k> Gnea: okay, done.
[09:06] <hhp2k> I think I'm going to try and do the BIOS part of that now.
[09:06] <gaelfx> Gnea: but my internet's chapped real bad!
[09:06] <hhp2k> Gnea: Will report back in 5 minutes.
[09:06] <bullgard4> gaelfx: Please put here a more specific question. --  meta-questions are deprecated here.
[09:06] <Gnea> gaelfx: so what's wrong?
[09:06] <Gnea> hhp2k: ok
[09:06] <spoo1> I have 2 512mb sticks of RAM installed that I think may not be compatible with each other... if they are not could that cause Ubuntu to read that I have only 247.9Mib of RAM installed?
[09:06] <Addernator> administrator rights problem help?
[09:06] <burak_> slm
[09:06] <gaelfx> Gnea: well, in Linux it runs about 1/10th the speed as it does in Windows
[09:07] <Gnea> !ask | Addernator
[09:07] <bullgard4> spoo1: No.
[09:07] <gaelfx> Gnea: but it wasn't always this way
[09:07] <LSD|Ninja> spoo1: does the BIOS read the correct amount of RAM?
[09:07] <Gnea> gaelfx: example?
[09:07] <spoo1> yes
[09:07] <spoo1> LSD|Ninja: yes it does
[09:07] <SimplyJohnny> should i just uncheck it Flannel
[09:07] <Lanken> Flannel: ok, part of my problem seems to be that adept isn't mature.
[09:08] <LSD|Ninja> spoo1: what sort of RAM and how old a system are we talking about?
[09:08] <Flannel> SimplyJohnny: Uncheck what?
[09:08] <gaelfx> Gnea: uploading in utorrent should be able to go at least 100kbps, instead it goes at about 10 or 20, depending upon which microsecond you look at it during
[09:08] <Lanken> Flannel: I thought it was a fine product, but its configuration of repos is broken.
[09:08] <Flannel> Lanken: apt-get works fine.  But repos being done isn't anything to do with adept
[09:08] <Lanken> Flannel: pity, but that's to be expected with kubuntu stuff...
[09:08] <gaelfx> Gnea: but it's not just a utorrent problem
[09:08] <bullgard4> spoo1: When you start Ubuntu, you will encounter Grub. Grub will allow you to make a RAM test. Please make this RAM test.
[09:08] <Flannel> Lanken: adept should work.  But GUI apt configs are somewhat new I believe.  You'd have to ask in #kubuntu
[09:09] <Addernator> help with administrator rights
[09:09] <Lanken> Flannel: I change the choice of mirrors in adept and nothing happens.  It's broken, I'd say.
[09:09] <SimplyJohnny> sysvinit-util Flannel
[09:09] <Flannel> !ask | Addernator
[09:09] <spoo1> bullgard4: doesn't a RAM test take hours?
[09:09] <Lanken> Flannel: I'll change it with synaptic :P
[09:09] <Flannel> SimplyJohnny: pastebin yuor sources.list please
[09:09] <Flannel> Lanken: Just do it with a text editor
[09:09] <bullgard4> spoo1: Yes it does.
[09:09] <Gnea> gaelfx: you could try changing the configuration settings
[09:09] <gaelfx> !sudo | Addernator
[09:09] <spoo1> poop sickles
[09:09] <spoo1> lol
[09:09] <LSD|Ninja> spoo1: what sort of RAM and how old a system are we talking about?
[09:09] <Addernator> it's allitle more complicated that that..
[09:10] <gaelfx> Gnea: you mean like network.conf or something like that? or easier?
[09:10] <Gnea> Addernator: then tell us what it is!
[09:10] <Lanken> Flannel: negative, ghost rider.  I'd have to learn how, and I don't want to know how.  Don't want to subject myself to the noise of learning and forgetting.
[09:10] <Addernator> i need to run an install disk for a game using wine tbut the installer says i need administrator rights
[09:10] <spoo1> LSD|Ninja:  Hp 734n on stick is the original and the other.... give me a min...
[09:10] <Flannel> Lanken: Its... easy.  Change http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to http://cc.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[09:10] <Gnea> gaelfx: i really don't know what that uses for a config, i don't use torrents
[09:10] <gaelfx> Addernator: more of a Wine problem, don't you think?
[09:10] <Lanken> Flannel: fine...

[09:10] <sugi> What's better for sega genesis emulator????? Gens or Dgen???
[09:11] <anubis5555> hi, I have ubuntu 64bit. I've installed skype on it, and depends too, but it isn't work. Can anybody help me?
[09:11] <Addernator> gaelf: the game i am trying to install is BF2 witch is a supported wine game
[09:11] <gaelfx> Gnea: oh, but what I mean is that it's not just a torrents problem, it's anything running on my network, FF, chatzilla, whatever
[09:11] <Gnea> gaelfx: but on the few occasions that i have, there was usually some sort of preference to limit the number of uploaders and downloaders and how much bandwidth they can use
[09:11] <LSD|Ninja> spoo1: dgen has apparently been discontinued, don't know about gens
[09:11] <Ahadiel> Addernator, Try #wine
[09:11] <LSD|Ninja> bah
[09:11] <LSD|Ninja> when I wanted spoo1 before I got sugi but now that I wanted sugi I got spoo1 >_<
[09:11] <Flannel> SimplyJohnny: Your problem is likely due to the fact that you have etch repositories in there.
[09:12] <gaelfx> Gnea: yeah, I know all about that, but like I said, it's a problem with my connection, not the torrent program, I was just giving a nice numeric reference
[09:12] <Gnea> gaelfx: what network card is it?
[09:12] <sugi> LSD|Ninja: ha ha ha, i am a bit confused, but oh really? on the dgens..... i might do gens.  it seems to get more talk then dgens
[09:12] <gaelfx> Gnea: it's NVidia based
[09:12] <sugi> LSD|Ninja: thanks for the heads up
[09:12] <LSD|Ninja> spoo1: Ah, it's DDR. That means it's not likely to be what I was thinking (SDRAM desnity)
[09:12] <gaelfx> Gnea: on a Compaq lappy, so most of it is NVidia crud
[09:13] <Ahadiel> gaelfx, Run a speed test and check the difference. http://speakeasy.net/speedtest for example.
[09:13] <LSD|Ninja> sugi: irssi's tab complete likes to try and be too smart for its own good
[09:13] <Gnea> gaelfx: ok, let's get nitty-gritty:  lspci | grep Ether
[09:13] <Lanken> Flannel: I spoke too soon.  The changes to sources.list were successful, but there's some other problem.
[09:14] <Saladin> Gnea: What is that command actually doing? ((I like to know things - knowledge is power))
[09:14] <sugi> LSD|Ninja: ha ha ha, oooh, i have done that before :D
[09:14] <Flannel> SimplyJohnny: and I'll bet that other package (sysvinit-utils*) is from your etch repo.
[09:14] <spoo1> can I have the link to the pastbasin
[09:14] <Gnea> Saladin: what command?
[09:14] <Flannel> !paste | spoo1
[09:14] <spoo1> paste^
[09:14] <Saladin> ((And Gnea: I am also watching this problem progress ;D)
[09:14] <Saladin> Gnea: The one you gave to gaelfx
[09:14] <spoo1> thank you Flannel
[09:14] <guido_> I installed kpersonalizer and now when I click on the kmenu to turn off the computer the only option I get is to close the session. any thoughts on how to fix this?
[09:15] <Gnea> Saladin: i'm sorry, you're going to have to be very specific :)
[09:15] <gaelfx> Gnea:  nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3)
[09:15] <bullgard4> 'detlef@MD97600:~$ cd /usr/src/linux && make gconfig' calls the dialog window 'Linux Kernel v2.6.24.3 Configuration'. > Help > About writes: "gkc is copyright (c) 2002 Romain Lievin <roms@lpg.ticalc.org>." What does 'gkc' stand for?
[09:15] <Saladin> Gnea: lspci | grep Ether
[09:15] <Gnea> Saladin: try running it on your system
[09:16] <spoo1> this is everything I could find http://paste.ubuntu.com/30508/
[09:16] <LSD|Ninja> bullgard4: GNOME kernel configurator maybe?
[09:16] <sugi> hey LSD|Ninja, i have wallpaper with a ninja linux penguin in a sweet pose
[09:16] <Gnea> gaelfx: it looks like you're not the only one to have this problem.
[09:17] <spoo1> LSD|Ninja: I'm sorry did you see that? http://paste.ubuntu.com/30508/
[09:17] <Lanken> Flannel: great...I'm not sure what I did, but it involves cancelling update-fetching
[09:17] <Lanken> Flannel: now I can't get update's to go past the fourth one
[09:18] <Flannel> bullgard4: kconfig, apparently.
[09:18] <hhp2k> Gnea: Hello :)
[09:18] <LSD|Ninja> spoo1: yeah I did. I was thinking it was maybe you trying to use high density SDRAM in a low density motherboard. This used to cause a range of problems ranging from the sticks working but only at half capacity right up to machines refusing to boot with them installed. The problem largley went away with DDR though which is what you've got
[09:18] <gaelfx> Gnea: haha, you're saying that with the implication that no one has figured out the problem yet... :S
[09:18] <Gnea> hhp2k: any luck?
[09:18] <Flannel> bullgard4: GTK Kernel Configurator
[09:18] <Gnea> gaelfx: no, just saying that *i* haven't found the solution... yet ;)
[09:18] <hhp2k> Gnea: I went into my BIOS, and the only option it had as far as sound cards go, was my Creative sound card in PCI.. no option for the embedded sound card.
[09:19] <Gnea> hhp2k: did you look *everywhere*?
[09:19] <hhp2k> Gnea: The file that guide says to make though has been created and saved.
[09:19] <hhp2k> Gnea: And yes, absolutely everywhere.
[09:19] <gaelfx> Gnea: haha, well, i guess that's somewhat reassuring. The thing that bothers me is that once in a while, it will work fine
[09:19] <kindofabuzz> why does my Master volume not work?  something to do with Pulse?
[09:19] <hhp2k> Gnea: That's why I know everything I do. :P I scour and search every corner and crevice until I find what I'm looking for, or conclude it's not there.
[09:19] <gaelfx> Gnea: but then, I have to pray that my lappy doesn't freeze while I'm still getting the good stuff, or Im SOL
[09:20] <bullgard4> Flannel: Thank you very much for your help.
[09:20] <Gnea> gaelfx: ok, let's try this out for now - have you hit that speedtest site that someone else gave you before?
[09:20] <pajamian> hhp2k: you're trying to disable the on-board sound?
[09:20] <spoo1> LSD|Ninja: I've been baffeled at this for months not (and many other ppl with me) because if the BIOS reads it, in theory, the OS should also
[09:20] <spoo1> LSD|Ninja: right?
[09:20] <hhp2k> pajamian: It may be a solution in regards to enabling the 3rd and 4th speakers on my surround sound system on the computer.
[09:20] <Gnea> hhp2k: maybe there's a jumper for it?
[09:21] <pajamian> hhp2k: well some motherboards have jumpers instead of bios settings for it, though more rare nowadays for it to be jumpered.  Have you checked?
[09:21] <hhp2k> Gnea: That's entirely possible.. I wouldn't even know where to start looking, though.
[09:21] <pajamian> hhp2k: check the users guide that came with the motherboard.
[09:21] <Gnea> hhp2k: ..jumpers are usually found on the motherboard, inside of the computer case :)
[09:21] <hhp2k> Gnea: I know that much :P
[09:22] <guido_> how do I give myself read/write access to '/dev/net/tun'?
[09:22] <Gnea> hhp2k: making sure :)
[09:22] <gaelfx> Gnea: hasn't finished loading, I'm in China, western websites are a little hard to hit
[09:22] <hhp2k> Gnea: had I not, I would have given up at that point right there if I were you. 8D
[09:22] <Gnea> gaelfx: egads...
[09:22] <amirman> i'm wanting to burn ubuntu 8.04 for someone at work, the only ISO i have at the moment is ubuntu-8.04-rc-desktop-i386.iso - it's the same ISO that set me up with my current system. is this an okay version to distribute?
[09:22] <hhp2k> Gnea, I'm going to PasteBin the output of aplay -I says for you, okay?
[09:23] <Gnea> ok
[09:23] <miranda> amirman: yes. do you have an iso burner?
[09:23] <gaelfx> Gnea: good times, huh?
[09:23] <pajamian> amirman: there's an 8.04.1 now which has more recent packages on it, but the one you have will work.  it will jsut have to do more updates after the install.
[09:23] <Gnea> gaelfx: i'm ready for bed once i eat something :)
[09:23] <hhp2k> Gnea: http://pastebin.ca/1083302
[09:23] <hhp2k> Gnea: I'm pretty sure it's showing me what I need to be seeing.
[09:23] <kindofabuzz> <y master vlume does not work, only PCM, any clues?
[09:23] <amirman> miranda: yes i use brasero
[09:23] <LinuxIST> am moving from kde paint to krita--can't find brush--help
[09:24] <miranda> amirman: ok. just checking because mine got accidentally deleted once I downloaded
[09:24] <gaelfx> Miranda: hey, how is it going?
[09:24] <pajamian> kindofabuzz: does your sound card (or onboard chipset) have 5.1 surround sound?
[09:25] <OldSage> Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening depending on your location :)
[09:25] <Gnea> hhp2k: is this a prebuilt system or did you or someone else build it?
[09:25] <kindofabuzz> pajamian: no
[09:25] <miranda> gaelfx: good I downloaded it and used burn4free to install I put it on the computer and it's installing
[09:25] <spoo1> !spoo1 | register
[09:25] <pajamian> kindofabuzz: oh well, that would do away with my theory, then.
[09:25] <hhp2k> Gnea: Prebuilt dinosaur Compaq Presario. Need to replace it bad. :x
[09:25] <amirman> pajamian: thanks
[09:25] <kindofabuzz> pajamian: it's an old computer
[09:25] <spoo1> !register | spoo1
[09:25] <Gnea> hhp2k: !
[09:25] <gaelfx> miranda: good to hear
[09:25] <hhp2k> Gnea: I know ._.
[09:25] <Flannel> amirman: You really ought to get 8.04.1, its much better (and isos before the point release have the SSH and DNS vulnerabilities)
[09:26] <pajamian> kindofabuzz: well the theory is that if you've plugged into the rear speaker channel instead of the front then the surround volume controls it instead of master.
[09:26] <gaelfx> Gnea: haha, it's ok, don't worry about it, I'm googling my wonderful little NVidia "controller" now
[09:26] <miranda> it has a blank black screen now, gaelfx. what does that mean?
[09:26] <Gnea> hhp2k: okay... i feel your pain... uhm... got a model # on the presario?
[09:26] <gaelfx> miranda: what was happening before the blank screen?
[09:26] <kindofabuzz> pajamian: well it does have 3 plugins, lemme check that
[09:26] <miranda> gaelfx: ubuntu logo flashed (loading)

[09:27] <gaelfx> miranda: hmmm, how old is the computer you're installing it on?
[09:27] <miranda> about ten years
[09:27] <Mr_Bad_News> nmapplet is aying i have 90% connection but iwlist scan is saying quality is 31
[09:27] <Gnea> hhp2k: well that's not TOO bad..
[09:27] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i fix it
[09:27] <guido_> I installed kpersonalizer and now when I click on the kmenu to turn off the computer the only option I get is to close the session. any thoughts on how to fix this?
[09:27] <hhp2k> Gnea: not too bad, runs compiz very well. (But that's my 64MB nVidia AGP card. :P)
[09:27] <gaelfx> miranda: do you know how much RAM, how big the hard drive is, that kind of info?
[09:28] <kindofabuzz> pajamian: hmm it's plugged into line out.  hmm.  i can controll the sound through PCM but not master.
[09:28] <Gnea> gaelfx: read this yet? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=277807&page=3
[09:28] <pajamian> KalhaS: I would try deleting or renaming the .mozilla directory.  Note you will loose all your bookmarks, settings, etc, but if you rename the directory you can copy them back later.
[09:28] <spoo1> LSD|Ninja: so would you have any idea what Ubuntu only reads 1/4 of my RAM?
[09:28] <miranda> gaelfx: I forgot to check that
[09:28] <Blaqlight> lol
[09:28] <pajamian> kindofabuzz: well that's strange, not sure what to tell ya.
[09:28] <Mr_Bad_News> anyone?
[09:28] <KalhaS> pajamian: ok ill try, thanks
[09:29] <gaelfx> miranda: when the computer first starts, it should tell you that kind of information. Did you run the liveCD version of it yet, or not?
[09:29] <miranda> yes I am running the liveCD version
[09:29] <gaelfx> miranda: ah, so you were trying to start itup, not install it?
[09:29] <miranda> install and start
[09:30] <spoo1> bullgard4: would you have any idea why Ubunt would only read 1/4 of my RAM?
[09:30] <gaelfx> miranda: oh, ok, could you try to find that info for me, you might have to try an older version if the hardware is not good enough for the newest Ubuntu
[09:30] <miranda> gaelfx: ok I am on the start screen...I guess the computer crashed
[09:31] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i improve my wireless performance
[09:31] <miranda> ok I am testing the memory
[09:31] <bullgard4> spoo1: This sometimes happens when Ubuntu detects errors in your RAM.
[09:31] <gaelfx> miranda: yeah, I think you might not be able to install the newest version on that computer. the most important thing I need to know is how much RAM it has

[09:34] <Gnea> i need sleep.
[09:34] <kibibyte> why
[09:34] <hhp2k> Gnea: You and me both, my friend. I have an IT call at 1 pm today
[09:35] <hhp2k> Gnea: If you're solely working on my problem, don't worry about it.  It's minor in priority compared to sleep :P
[09:35] <tcsajax> Hey I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with the Synaptic Package manager.
[09:35] <Gnea> hhp2k: i have the weekend off, been doing IT all week. :)
[09:35] <hhp2k> Gnea: But thank you for all of your help, you've definitely helped me solve some problems tonight.
[09:35] <unop> tcsajax, ask a specific question ..
[09:35] <Gnea> hhp2k: btw: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&dlc=en&product=93208&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN#
[09:36] <Gnea> hhp2k: you're welcome :)
[09:36] <hhp2k> Gnea: I wasn't aware Hp provided linux support.. ?
[09:36] <Gnea> hhp2k: oh they wrote their own printer driver interface to cups :P
[09:36] <kibibyte> gnea are you woman
[09:36] <tcsajax> Well, When I open the Synaptic Package Manager, I get an error "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[09:36] <tcsajax> E: _cache->open() failed, please report." Any Ideas? I'm new to Ubuntu and pretty much anything linux based.
[09:37] <Gnea> kibibyte: why, are you?
[09:37] <gaelfx> miranda: did you find out how much RAM is on the computer?
[09:37] <pajamian> tcsajax: then open the terminal and run: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[09:37] <miranda> gaelfx: it's 49% done
[09:37] <pajamian> just like it says
[09:37] <kibibyte> no
[09:37] <hhp2k> gnea: oh, nevermind.
[09:37] <kibibyte> are you
[09:38] <gaelfx> miranda: ok
[09:38] <Gnea> !offtopic | kibibyte
[09:38] <oti4883> miranda: you should check the _amount_ of ram, not only if it works okay
[09:38] <Gnea> kibibyte: but no, i'm not
[09:38] <miranda> oti4883: that's what I am doing
[09:38] <Gnea> ok kids, don't destroy each other... too much ;)
[09:38] <tcsajax> pajamain: Ah. "sudo" for some reason I thought it was "run". Guess I'm going to have to learn how to use the terminal properly.
[09:38] <hhp2k> Gnea: yessir ;) Enjoy your sleep, and thanks again

[09:39] <sebastien> oh sorry

[09:40] <pajamian> tcsajax: you're welcome
[09:40] <sebastien> hello, do you know if existe a variable who has the name of the folder you have selected ?
[09:40] <mycroftiv> sebastien: pwd displays your current directory
[09:41] <oti4883> sebastien: in the shell? $PWD
[09:41] <unop> sebastien, there is no variable
[09:41] <unop> sebastien, you could find out the name of directory or file using a nautilus script tho.
[09:41] <sebastien> ok thanks
[09:41] <kibibyte> Gnea, are you male
[09:41] <zyx386> how can i block website from my network for ever?
[09:41] <sebastien> ok i want to do that
[09:42] <cr0w> hi exist only gnome-look,org ?
[09:42] <cr0w> for themes..icons..etc etc ..
[09:42] <kibibyte> haha
[09:42] <gaelfx> anyone feel like helping me diagnose a networking issue?
[09:42] <user__> try me
[09:43] <pajamian> gaelfx: possibly.  Ask your question.
[09:43] <zyx386> how can i block website from my network for ever?
[09:43] <pajamian> !repeat zyx386
[09:43] <unop> zyx386, use your firewall to stop traffic destined to that website's IP address.
[09:43] <pajamian> !repeat | zyx386
[09:43] <gaelfx> pajamian: my connection works at about 1/10th what it does in Windows, and the problem is not Compiz
[09:43] <user__> you can use     ufw
[09:44] <Ulukri> hey... installed ubuntu with wubu... seemed to go okay, however after everything was installed and it reset, a command prompt thing came up after the initial loading dialogue... it said something about debian... anyone know anything bout this?
[09:44] <zyx386> pajamian, sorry
[09:44] <pajamian> gaelfx: what metric are you using to measure the connection by?
[09:44] <rrizater> I'm having trouble searching for a specific channel in irssi... /list just lists all of them. squery doesn't work.
[09:44] <user__> hes probablu using ip
[09:45] <gaelfx> pajamian: ok, don't freak out on me or anything, but I'm using utorrent to arrive at the specific number, but the problem is with anything that runs on the internet, update manager, ff, whatever
[09:46] <yao_ziyuan> what is linux equivalent to age of empires...
[09:46] <user__> gaelfx, look up how to enable n use ufw in ubuntu commands
[09:46] <gaelfx> pajamian: it has been said that the issue may be with my ethernet controller:  nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3)
[09:46] <kibibyte> yao_ziyuan, nethack
[09:46] <pajamian> gaelfx: possibly, or the driver.
[09:46] <kibibyte> yao_ziyuan, are you chinesse
[09:46] <oti4883> gaelfx: nforce ethernet cards are crap
[09:46] <Blaqlight> ohhh I like this fluxbox theme.
[09:47] <gaelfx> pajamin: right, right, but have you ever seen any solutions to this problem? googling it is giving me mostly sound card problems
[09:47] <Baby_Shambl3s> Blaqlight: which theme show it to me
[09:47] <gaelfx> oti4883: thanks, real helpful
[09:47] <oti4883> gaelfx: and nvidia does not give any specs to free driver developers
[09:47] <yao_ziyuan> kibibyte: yes baby
[09:47] <oti4883> gaelfx: so the driver "forcedeth" is reverse engineered
[09:47] <gaelfx> oti4883: I'm aware of that, but I'm not buying a new computer to run Linux
[09:47] <pajamian> gaelfx: I'm afraid this is one specific problem I haven't run across, though.  Have you checked to see if there's a restricted driver available?
[09:47] <kibibyte> yao_ziyuan, haha you have funny name
[09:47] <kibibyte> so chineese
[09:47] <Blaqlight> Baby_Shambl3s: its a custom theme because the original one I downloaded and wanted to use is broken.
[09:48] <kibibyte> yao mao tse tung
[09:48] <yao_ziyuan> kibibyte: that's pinyin. wade giles is tse-yuan yao
[09:48] <oti4883> gaelfx: well then complain to nvidia
[09:48] <gaelfx> pajamin: not really, could you point me in the right direction?
[09:48] <pajamian> gaelfx: you should not have to buy a new computer, but maybe just a cheap PCI network card at the worst.
[09:48] <Baby_Shambl3s> Blaqlight: upload it and show it to me plz
[09:48] <gaelfx> kibibyte: who uses Wade-Giles any more?
[09:48] <oti4883> gaelfx: it's not ubuntu's fault that nvidia is not realeasing specs
[09:48] <Blaqlight> upload it where?
[09:48] <gaelfx> pajamian: on a laptop? I'm pretty sure there is no PCI slot for it
[09:48] <inspyre> is there an alternative to fbdesk?
[09:48] <Blaqlight> inspyre: idesk
[09:48] <pajamian> gaelfx: System / Administration / Hardware Drivers for the restricted driver manager.
[09:49] <expertx> how do I find out the ip of my external hdd (NAS)?
[09:49] <inspyre> Blaqlight: ok thanks ill try
[09:49] <gaelfx> oti4883: I'm not blaming Ubuntu, I'm looking for a solution! sheesh...
[09:49] <koshari> gaelfx pcmcia
[09:49] <pajamian> gaelfx: oh, then a pcmcia card.
[09:49] <gaelfx> pajamian: ah, but there is no extra slot at all on this computer
[09:49] <Blaqlight> inspyre: I have it and use it though it has yet to do anything. I need to edit something Im sure but what I can't figure out.
[09:49] <Raz0R> can ubuntu be installed on ps3?
[09:49] <OldSage> gaelfx - Did you check Nvidias website for drivers?
[09:50] <pajamian> gaelfx: well, then a usb one?
[09:50] <eaglejazz> can anyone recommend me a dark(black) compiz theme?
[09:50] <gaelfx> OldSage: not yet, but I'll try, thanks
[09:50] <gaelfx> pajamian: yeah, I'll think about it
[09:50] <koshari> pajamian i wouldnt use a usd ethernet device
[09:50] <oti4883> gaelfx: there is none at the moment. a colleague of me also has problems with the card, it even locks up at high traffic and needs a reboot to work again.
[09:50] <pajamian> koshari: as a last resort.
[09:50] <OldSage> gaelfx - I am not sure about there ethernet cards, but I know they do have Linux Video card drivers
[09:50] <Blaqlight> Baby_Shambl3s: upload it where?
[09:50] <gaelfx> pajamian: I was hoping there might be a less financial answer
[09:51] <Baby_Shambl3s> Blaqlight: tynipic.com
[09:51] <oti4883> OldSage: no ethernet drivers from nvidia. they simply don't care.
[09:51] <gaelfx> OldSage: yeah, I've already used Envy for that part
[09:51] <expertx> even if they have linux drivers, that doesnt mean much.. look at dlink chipsets.. i have a few wirless cards taht work like **** wthin ubuntu
[09:51] <pajamian> gaelfx: maybe the wireless will work better (heh, talk about backwards).
[09:51] <Baby_Shambl3s> Blaqlight: * tinypic.com
[09:51] <gaelfx> pajamian: you know, it's funny, but you might be right!
[09:51] <pogay> why in grub2 (chainloading) ubuntu splash-screen doesn't show up?   Now I can boot, but I have several strange things
[09:51] <koshari> gaelfx you can normally get a ethernet port working, however sometimes you may need to put a driver on a blocklist or recreate the initramsf
[09:52] <koshari> gaelfx  or even compile a driver from binary
[09:52] <gaelfx> pajamian: problem is, I have to connect through a static IP and then dial PPPoE and my AirPort express doesn't do that
[09:52] <pogay> I'm using 7.10 on my lenovo 3000 n100
[09:52] <pajamian> gaelfx: also, I think that wdiswrapper works with ethernet drivers as well as wireless ones.
[09:52] <spoo1> is there a fast and easy way to make a back up of my system
[09:52] <expertx> how do you list all internal ips from your system?
[09:52] <gaelfx> koshari: it works sometimes, but not every time
[09:52] <pajamian> gaelfx: so that's another possibility ... to use the windows driver with wdiswrapper.
[09:52] <gaelfx> koshari: and I've never done anything that technical to get it working
[09:52] <pajamian> gaelfx: errr ndis
[09:53] <Blaqlight> Baby_Shambl3s: its not going to show the transparent menus...
[09:53] <gaelfx> pajamian: haha, it's ok, I knew what you meant
[09:53] <pajamian> expertx: ifconfig
[09:53] <gaelfx> pajamian: I'll try googling that, since I have all the drivers on my external hard drive
[09:54] <expertx> pajamian: ifconfig only shows me my 2 NICS not my external hdd shared
[09:54] <pajamian> gaelfx: I understand that laptops can be a pain sometimes.  I generalyl recommend checking out Linux compatibility before buying a laptop but if you already have one then I'm not oppposed to trying all different possibilities to get things to work.
[09:54] <Kiyiko> i need halp automounting a hdd, i know about fstab, but i have no idea what to  put in there, because the harddrive is not currently listed
[09:54] <guido_> what is /dev/net/tun's group and how do I add a user to that group?
[09:54] <Baby_Shambl3s> Blaqlight: nvm :'(
[09:54] <pajamian> expertx: right, it shows all the IPs configured on your system.
[09:54] <gaelfx> pajamian: believe me, next time it's all ATI ;)
[09:55] <gaelfx> pajamian: but that's not for a couplle years
[09:55] <Blaqlight> gnome screenshot tool doesn't do that. is there something Im missing?
[09:55] <oti4883> gaelfx: i'd go for intel chipsets
[09:55] <pogay> grub2 is not very difficult, when it works. but I like to get a external usb-drive to boot (which doesn't work with grub legacy)
[09:55] <pajamian> gaelfx: last time I checked ATI wasn't so great, but AMD is really cooperating with the Linux community on it now so it shouldn't be long.
[09:55] <unop> guido_, root and you don't want to do that for obvious reasons
[09:55] <expertx> pajamian: that doesnt tell me much. you see I just bought a NAS, its showing up on smb alright, but I needs it ip in order to access the web interface
[09:56] <guido_> unop: indeed... but I'm using virtualbox and I need rw access there, what should I do?
[09:56] <pajamian> expertx: browse to your router and check in that.
[09:56] <Blaqlight> Baby_Shambl3s: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=jzz7lv&s=4
[09:56] <jeeves__> can someone PLEASE help me with this nVidia issue?  it's driving me INSANEE!!  I can't take the system lockups and black/white screens any more
[09:56] <gnomefreak> expertx: and pajamian please go to #ubuntu-offtopic since your topic is offtopic
[09:56] <gaelfx> pajamian: yeah, that's what I've been thinking, plus there are a whole lot more howtos out there regarding ATi cards that look promising
[09:56] <oti4883> guido_: which group has /dev/net/tun now? check with ls -l /dev/net/tun
[09:56] <pajamian> gnomefreak: offtopic?  how?
[09:56] <expertx> gnomefreak: huh?????
[09:57] <gnomefreak> pajamian: /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:57] <gnomefreak> expertx: your topic is not support related
[09:57] <pogay> grub2 - there is a command which replaces find -> search, but now it always gives the message device not found
[09:57] <guido_> oti4883: crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 200 2008-07-01 17:50 /dev/net/tun
[09:57] <Blaqlight> !offtopic
[09:57] <Kiyiko> i need halp automounting a hdd, i know about fstab, but i have no idea what to  put in there, because the harddrive is not currently listed
[09:57] <Kiyiko> =D
[09:57] <expertx> im asking how to list internal ips within ubuntu, how is that not support related?
[09:57] <oti4883> guido_: hmm, no special group
[09:58] <jeeves__> anyone?  visual issues with the nVidia driver?
[09:58] <Blaqlight> Baby_Shambl3s: Ill never see what it looks like there, 56k connection. lol
[09:58] <oti4883> guido_: simple solution would be setting permission for /dev/net/tun in udev rules to 666
[09:58] <OldSage> jeeves__ - Are you using the restricted driver?
[09:59] <KalhaS> pajamian: It solved when I unchecked "Allow pages to use their own fonts" from Edit-> Preferences -> Content -> Advanced in firefox. deleting/uninstalling the mozilla dir did nothing. weird. thanks :)
[09:59] <oti4883> guido_: but then any user on your system can access the device r/w
[09:59] <gnomefreak> expertx: sorry it wasnt you i meant
[09:59] <guido_> oti4883: would that remain after a a reboot?
[09:59] <pogay> do you mean grub2 is not ubuntu specific?
[09:59] <guido_> oti4883: I'm the only user
[09:59] <expertx> gnomefreak: oh okay no worries
[09:59] <oti4883> guido_: if you change it in udev rules, yes. if you just use chmod, no.
[09:59] <pajamian> KalhaS: that's an option that should remain checked, unless you want all pages to have the same font.
[10:00] <guido_> oti4883: how do I change it in udev?
[10:00] <jeeves__> OldSage, yes, I've tried the restricted driver, and the driver from the nVidia site.  and nothing fixes it.  everything else works fine on my system, except this constant freezzing, and white bars accross stuff.  and right now, it's just recovered from a "greyed out" screen
[10:00] <oti4883> guido_: look for a file with "permission" in its name /etc/udev/rules.d/
[10:00] <expertx> pajamian: thank you sir, i found the ip through my router :)
[10:00] <KalhaS> pajamian: no it suck all the pages to have the same font, but it works only that way
[10:00] <OldSage> jeeves__ - hmm... are you using a dual boot system per chance?
[10:00] <oti4883> guido_: i have no ubuntu 8.04 here, so i don't know the exact name
[10:01] <jeeves__> OldSage, from what I understand, it's a VERY common problem with the last 2 releases, and I've yet to find an answer.  And yes, it's a dual boot.  But I'm in the process of killing windows sans the gaming
[10:02] <oti4883> guido_: on my 7.04 i have 40-permissions.rules and i added the line: KERNEL=="tun",                          MODE="0666"
[10:02] <guido_> oti4883: ok, I'm on permissions.rules
[10:02] <oti4883> guido_: if this syntax is still valid, you can add the line there
[10:02] <guido_> oti4883: on any section in particular?
[10:03] <OldSage> jeeves__ - hmm... I use nvidia myself and havn't had any problems. Which nvidia card do you have?
[10:03] <jeeves__> OldSage, all I know is that the longer the system runs, the less stable it is
[10:03] <central> hello please can you tell me the commande to delet a file
[10:03] <oti4883> guido_: i appended the line and the end of the file
[10:03] <pajamian> KalhaS: That sucks, I don't know what to say if deleting .mozilla didn't help.  I would ask in #firefox (or whatever channel they use) and see if they can help./
[10:03] <IndyGunFreak> jeeves__: well how have you tracked that instability down to the video card?
[10:03] <cr0w> hi how I install the font?
[10:04] <KalhaS> Hm, thanks again pajamian
[10:04] <pajamian> KalhaS: you're welcome
[10:04] <cr0w> help help xD
[10:04] <jeeves__> OldSage, it's a 7300 GO (laptop on a <shudders> Toshibs)  All I know is that the system freezes the screen (but when it's doing it, I can style type, etc), then the screen flasses a few times, then goes to a "grey screen", then releases it back to what I was doing.
[10:04] <cr0w> how i install the font !? .ttf
[10:04] <OldSage> jeeves__ - Does it do this in windows as well?
[10:04] <unop> expertx, as an aside, if a host shows up in smb/neighbourhood -- use nmblookup to resolve names to ipaddresses
[10:05] <jeeves__> IndyGunFreak, what do you mean?  I know the fans/etc are running fine on it.  In windows, there are no problems.  and as of 2 major releases ago, there was no problem with Ubuntu.
[10:05] <pajamian> expertx: about that IP ... You should set your router to always assign the same IP to that mac address or it will change next time you restart your network appliance.
[10:05] <jeeves__> OldSage, no, in wondows, everything is stable, and as of 2 releases ago,  it ran fine in Ubuntu
[10:05] <guido_> oti4883: is the change applied instantaneously or do I have to reboot?
[10:05] <IndyGunFreak> jeeves__: i mean, i'm not saying it isn't the video card(although now that you've identified it, I'm almost sure its not), what has led you to believe its a video driver problem
[10:05] <oti4883> guido_: modprobe -r tun ; modprobe tun  should be enough
[10:05] <cr0w> how i install the font !?
[10:06] <jesprile> hello..
[10:06] <jeeves__> OldSage, right now, I can't even get Firefox to launch (it says that there is allready a copy running), and it's the same with pidgon
[10:06] <IndyGunFreak> !font | cr0w
[10:06] <oti4883> guido_: may udev also needs to be restarted. /etc/init.d/udev restart
[10:06] <unop> jeeves__, make sure no other instances of firefox are running
[10:06] <pajamian> jeeves__: there will be a lock file somewhere under your .mozilla directory that you ned to delete.
[10:06] <pajamian> *need
[10:07] <OldSage> jeeves__ - Sounds like your having more than just Video Driver problems...
[10:07] <IndyGunFreak> OldSage: exactly my point
[10:07] <OldSage> IndyGunFreak - Could be he knocked something off kilter in Gnome/Compix
[10:07] <jeeves__> OldSage, all of this started with the video issue.  this is basiclly a fresh install (I installed it less than 24 hours ago)
[10:07] <gaelfx> ugh, i can't even load NVidia.com :S
[10:07] <kevin13879_> umm, guys compiz runs perfectly on my ati1950 but whenever i run a 3d app(like  google earth  or any 3d game),  the screen starts flashing black
[10:08] <jesprile> i need help with live CD for xp recovery. i setup network configuration using ifconfig, but then i can'g ping other machine on network.. says desination host unreachable.. i can ping to my own machine ..
[10:08] <central> i need to delet a hidden file in rood folder, the folder i want to delet name is /root/.Virtualbox   how can i delet that folder ?
[10:08] <IndyGunFreak> OldSage: anything is possible i guess(I don't do compiz, so maybe thats the issue).. but I run a 7900, which uses the same driver as his, and i have absolutely zero problems
[10:08] <unop> central, sudo rm -rf  /root/.Virtualbox
[10:08] <gaelfx> !sudo | central
[10:08] <pajamian> central: sudo rm -rf /root/.Virtualbox
[10:08] <central> yes thx
[10:08] <Mongoose> nice new install on iMac worked  :)
[10:08] <pajamian> central: make sure you don't mess up that command or you could seriously trash your system.
[10:09] <OldSage> IndyGunFreak - I have the 8800 laptop, and I have had little problem myself
[10:10] <jesprile> i need help with live CD for xp recovery. i setup network configuration using ifconfig, but then i can'g ping other machine on network.. says desination host unreachable.. i can ping to my own machine ..
[10:10] <OldSage> IndyGunFreak - I thought compiz was installed by default in Ubuntu?
[10:10] <Baby_Shambl3s> how can i set up ubuntu to play multiple sound, if im listening to mpd/rhythmbox i cant listen to sound on the browser etc?
[10:10] <IndyGunFreak> OldSage: understood, thats why i'm trying to figure out how he immediately identified the video driver as the culprit... did he trouble shoot it, or follow some instructions, etc,  Just saying, "Well, the display is jacked, so its gotta be the video driver" is a little silly
[10:10] <guoyang> hello
[10:10] <Ab3L> hello
[10:10] <IndyGunFreak> OldSage: it is, but i don't use it.. (Desktop effects to "None" :))
[10:10] <OldSage> IndyGunFreak - Ahh gotcha :)
[10:11] <jeeves__> OldSage, sorry about that, the system just crashed back to a hard reboot
[10:11] <guoyang> I am new to Ubuntu... haha
[10:11] <jeeves__> IndyGunFreak, sorry, system just crashed back to a hard reboot
[10:11] <IndyGunFreak> jeeves__: i think your problems are far deeper than just a video driver
[10:12] <jeeves__> IndyGunFreak, you're right.  it's because of the sticker on the lid of the laptop
[10:12] <IndyGunFreak> guoyang: well, welcome to the club.
[10:12] <IndyGunFreak> jeeves__: well now you're being a dumbass, so i won't bother commenting further.
[10:12] <central> the folder is still in my root ..
[10:13] <jeeves__> IndyGunFreak, I wasn't going to.  I was going to ask what the next step is to get to the root of this problem
[10:13] <IndyGunFreak> central: open a terminal, gksudo nautilus  enter password, then navigate too the folder and delete it
[10:13] <Mongoose> hahaha
[10:13] <Mongoose> sudo nautilus
[10:13] <Mongoose> from a terminal?
[10:14] <Flannel> Mongoose: no, gksu nautilus.  If you must.
[10:14] <Baby_Shambl3s> how can i set up ubuntu to play multiple sound, if im listening to mpd/rhythmbox i cant listen to sound on the browser etc?
[10:14] <IndyGunFreak> !gksudo | Mongoose
[10:14] <ycy_> i know that if i install ubuntu-server, i can get ubuntu-desktop by aptitude install ubuntu-desktop, but how can I have the viceversa?
[10:14] <jeeves__> IndyGunFreak, any ideas on getting to the bottom of this problem?
[10:14] <Mongoose> I just thought it was funny using a GUI to delete something from a terminal
[10:14] <jeeves__> OldSage, want to take a stab @ this one?
[10:14] <blumm> anybody experienced with gproftpd behind a router?
[10:14] <IndyGunFreak> jeeves__: no, not really, but i'm sure its not the sticker on your laptop
[10:14] <Mongoose> rm -rf is enough for anyone
[10:15] <Flannel> jeeves__: by removing the GUI packages
[10:15] <OldSage> IndyGunFreak - This may sound like a wile idea, but could the new Linux Kernal Power Management protocols be messing with his laptops screen?
[10:15] <Mongoose> the new X based installer is pretty slick
[10:15] <unop> Mongoose, apparently not - he might be struggling with getting the case of the filename right
[10:15] <Mongoose> first new ubuntu install I've done in a while I normally upgrade
[10:15] <jeeves__> Flannel, well, if I remove the GUIs, then there isn't much point in having it installed on my laptop.  LOL
[10:15] <IndyGunFreak> Mongoose: i agree, but he apparently didn't do that right for some reason, and gksudo nautilus is almost failproof.
[10:15] <Flannel> jeeves__: You asked how to make it a server.
[10:16] <IndyGunFreak> OldSage: i really don't know..
[10:16] <jeeves__> Flannel, not this box.  this one is my laptop
[10:16] <Mongoose> had to fix my partitions after the ubuntu installer to get it booting to grub however
[10:16] <Flannel> ycy_: just remove the GUI packages.
[10:16] <OldSage> jeeves__ - I can't really help you. I am pretty sure though that your problem runs deeper than just the driver.
[10:16] <Mongoose> but that's b/c of trying to do winxp and ubunut in the same bootcamp part I bat
[10:16] <Mongoose> so sleepy
[10:16] <jeeves__> OldSage, humm, I think it's strange that it ran fine a few releases ago
[10:17] <ycy_> Flannel: so there's no ubuntu-server metapackage?
[10:17] <OldSage> jeeves__ - Try disabling the restricted driver and see if it does it.
[10:17] <central> cool thanks
[10:17] <jeeves__> OldSage, the restricted driver isn't installed
[10:17] <andrzej> czesc
[10:17] <Flannel> ycy_: mmm, I might be misunderstanding you.  Do you mean you want to remove the GUI? or add in some server progrmas?
[10:17] <OldSage> jeeves__ - Which driver so you have installed?
[10:18] <Mongoose> ew anthy is default now?
[10:18] <jeeves__> OldSage, the one from the nVidia site
[10:18] <Mongoose> omg this won't do
[10:18] <Mongoose> oyasuminasai
[10:18] <Mongoose> fix this tomorrow
[10:18] <central> thx :)
[10:18] <OldSage> go to System->Hardware Drivers and disable the video driver
[10:18] <valipilu> sla
[10:18] <valipilu> sal
[10:19] <OldSage> jeeves__ - If it does it after you disable to driver, then we will at least know that the driver is not the issue
[10:19] <ycy_> Flannel: ok i'll explain you. if i install ubuntu-server from cd, if i want to install ALSO desktop i do: aptitude install ubuntu-desktop (is a metapackage that install all the packages that ubuntu-desktop installs). however, if i install ubuntu-desktop, is there the possibility to install ubuntu-server metapackage? (i can't find ubuntu-server metapackage in the repositories..)
[10:19] <jeeves__> OldSage, nothing shows up in the driver box
[10:19] <Baby_Shambl3s> how can i set up ubuntu to play multiple sound, if im listening to mpd/rhythmbox i cant listen to sound on the browser etc?
[10:20] <OldSage> jeeves__ - hmmmm
[10:20] <OldSage> jeeves__ - Well, I am out of ideas
[10:20] <Ramunas> hello, when I insert a dvd, I get this error message: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline,
[10:20] <Ramunas> G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)
[10:20] <Ramunas> and it doesn't get mounted
[10:20] <Ramunas> what do I do?
[10:20] <butterz> ycy_, look at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome, has a guide how to go to pure gnome
[10:20] <hateball> I installed OOo3 beta through using dpkg -i etc. How do I go about removing it the same way? dpkg -P *.deb refuses, as does xargs'ing searches to dpkg as well.
[10:20] <jeeves__> OldSage, that's the problem.  I've tried the restricted drivers (it locks the system up), and the drivers from the nVidia site, same thing
[10:20] <Flannel> ycy_: Again, that doesn't answer my question.  Do you want to *add* to your GUI? or remove your GUI?
[10:21] <ycy_> Flannel: i want to have ubuntu-server AND ubuntu-desktop
[10:21] <unop> hateball,  apt-get remove ...
[10:21] <OldSage> jeeves__ - If you are using more than one driver and its doing the same thing... that pretty much eliminates the driver as the culprit
[10:21] <pajamian> Ramunas: can you copy and paste your /etc/fstab to the pastebin?
[10:21] <Flannel> ycy_: Ah.  You already have it.
[10:21] <Ramunas> pajamian, sure, just a sec
[10:21] <jeeves__> Flannel, sudo apt-get --purge remove ycy_
[10:21] <Flannel> ycy_: "Ubuntu Server" is ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal
[10:21] <ycy_> Flannel: ? if i install ubuntu-desktop from cd, i don't have ubuntu-server
[10:21] <Flannel> ycy_: you do.
[10:22] <Baby_Shambl3s> maybe i should rephrase the question my box doesn't play multiple sound, if im listening to mpd/rhythmbox i cant listen to sound on the browser etc?
[10:22] <cirkit> Flannel: It sounds like what he wants is a fully functional desktop with server administrative applications to run whatever server(s) he is trying to run.
[10:22] <Ramunas> pajamian, http://pastebin.larskleinschmidt.de/a0c4
[10:22] <ycy_> Flannel: so ubuntu-server is a subset of packages that i can find in ubuntu-desktop?
[10:22] <Flannel> ycy_: the "server" isntall is the core of all Ubuntu flavors.
[10:22] <jeeves__> OldSage, hummm, well we know the effects are video related (I get white bars over mouse selectable things), and the screeen flases black every once and a while
[10:22] <ycy_> cirkit: yes you got it
[10:22] <Flannel> ycy_: No, ubuntu-desktop actually doesn't depend on ubuntu-standard, but if you install the desktop version, you'll have the server version as well.
[10:23] <unop> Baby_Shambl3s, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio
[10:23] <cirkit> ycy_: Ubuntu server is called that because it includes server applications like Apache. You have Ubuntu desktop which is non-server software. All you need to do is use apt-get or synpatic to install all server software you want with your Ubuntu desktop and then that will solve it.
[10:23] <zapraf> hi all , my probleme is: when i boot in my fisrt gnome session, i need to kill 'nautilus' before it run correctly, Some ideas why ?
[10:23] <jeeves__> OldSage, brb
[10:23] <jmhodges> hey, i've got apache2 installed on my machine, but /etc/init.d/apache2 stop tells me that the pid it sees isn't running but there's definitely 6 apache servers being run on boot
[10:23] <Flannel> cirkit: no, "server" includes the *option* of installing apache.
[10:24] <hateball> unop: Problem is I cant pass the filenames to apt, as it doesnt list it that way
[10:24] <ycy_> cirkit: yes, but my question is: if i install ubuntu-server from cd, i can have ubuntu-desktop by simply: aptitude install ubuntu-desktop. the viceversa is not possible, because there's no ubuntu-server metapackage...
[10:24] <jmhodges> anyone got a clue what might have happened?
[10:24] <pajamian> Ramunas: not sure why it says the mount point can't contain a /, and that file looks fine to me.  I would try googling for the error message and see what you find.
[10:24] <unop> hateball, don't use filenames - use the packagenames
[10:24] <simi> hi i compiled a kernel using a howto from a book(using debian kernel tools), the problem is that i am missing a initr image , i do not know how to create a corect image for debian systems
[10:25] <mycroftiv> simi: sudo update-initramfs -ck NAMEOFKERNEL
[10:25] <hateball> unop: I was hoping to not have to do that... as it'd be quicker and mean less guessing
[10:25] <Flannel> ycy_: You're not listening.  All "Desktop" installs already include the 'server' install (except for the server specific kernel, which you probably dont want anyway)
[10:25] <mycroftiv> simi: or su to root if you are in debian system rather than an ubuntu i guess
[10:26] <jeeves__> OldSage, ok, I'm back, I'm trying the restricted drivers again
[10:26] <fyrestrtr> ycy_: the only difference between the server and the desktop install is : kernel version, pre-installed packages. Its not another "version" of ubuntu.
[10:26] <ycy_> Flannel: yes but, if you say that desktop include server, so the server packages are a subset of desktop packages...
[10:26] <simi> mycroftiv:  i am in kubuntu
[10:26] <Flannel> ycy_: "server" is the core of an Ubuntu (distro) machine.  All of the flavors include everything in the server install.
[10:27] <Flannel> ycy_: However, ubuntu-desktop doesn't depend on ubuntu-standard or ubuntu-minimal
[10:27] <koshari> Flannel: i would have thaught server would have LAMp installed where as no desktop versions do, i think you may mean minimal?
[10:27] <mycroftiv> simi: sudo update-initramfs -ck NAMEOFKERNEL should generate your initrd and place it in your boot director correctly
[10:28] <Flannel> koshari: With the server CD you can choose to have LAMP preinstalled, but its not strictly a part of the server install
[10:28] <ycy_> so
[10:28] <fyrestrtr> you can install lamp by a one-liner apt-get install command.
[10:28] <Flannel> koshari: Thats an extra option you can select to install ontop of the server install itself
[10:28] <ycy_> if i want a server with desktop's preinstalled packages and server preinstalled packages and kernel, what should i do?
[10:29] <koshari> Flannel oh yes, anyway you could write a script easy enough to install anything that desktop dont have that servar may,
[10:29] <Flannel> ycy_: Do you want the server kernel?
[10:29] <ycy_> yes, because of the I/O diff
[10:29] <Flannel> ycy_: Do you know the differences between the desktop and server kernel?
[10:29] <fyrestrtr> ycy_: install the desktop, then install ubuntu-server, and then install the packages for lamp.
[10:29] <ycy_> Flannel: yes, a different handle of I/O
[10:29] <Flannel> ycy_: You realise you can't run the generic and server kernels at the same tiem, right?
[10:29] <koshari>  fyrestrtr other way round , there is no server metapackage
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> koshari: there is for the kernel ;)
[10:30] <ycy_> koshari: yes..
[10:30] <Flannel> ycy_: Alright.  Install from the desktop CD, then install linux-server, then you probably want to remove the linux-generic kernels too.
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> and that's what I meant anyway -- install the ubuntu-server kernel package.
[10:30] <ycy_> Flannel: yes, i would run server kernel
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> or linux-server
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> I forgot the exact package name.
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> there is more to the server kernel than just I/O
[10:30] <ycy_> what if i install ubuntu-server from cd and then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
[10:30] <central> hello how can i give the permission to access  my user central to the folder /dev/vboxdrv
[10:31] <fyrestrtr> ycy_: it doesn't matter either way you'll end up with the same system.
[10:31] <Flannel> ycy_: There wont be any difference if you install linux-server and remove linux-generic
[10:31] <koshari> ycy_ i would guess grub would give you a kernel choice?
[10:31] <fyrestrtr> central: add your user to the group that has access to that device.
[10:31] <Flannel> koshari: ubuntu-desktop doesn't depend on a kernel
[10:31] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu-desktop isn't even a real package, its a meta package.
[10:31] <ycy_> this is so CONFUSING
[10:31] <Flannel> ycy_: and when I mean "remove linux-generic" I mean all the packages and metapackages of it.
[10:31] <Alsryth> central : I believe you need to add your user account to the group named either Vbox or Virtualbox which is created at install.
[10:31] <Flannel> ycy_: no, its not really.
[10:31] <Baby_Shambl3s> how do i remove someone from ignore?
[10:32] <ycy_> Baby_Shambl3s: /unignore nick
[10:32] <koshari> Alsryth scanners installation and firewire sometimes need you to manually add people to the group
[10:32] <ycy_> ok my idea is
[10:32] <ycy_> install from cd ubuntu-server -> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop = ubuntu-desktop+ubuntu-server
[10:33] <ycy_> instead of install ubuntu-desktop from cd -> apt-get install linux-server = ubuntu-desktop+kernel server
[10:33] <ycy_> they are VERY different
[10:33] <Flannel> ycy_: No, the outcome is identical (assuming you remove -generic, or at least ignore the kernel installs)
[10:34] <ycy_> Flannel: in the second one i don't have installed the ubuntu-server packages? like lamp, et c
[10:34] <Flannel> and by ignore, I mean "don't care that you have linux-generic also installed"
[10:34] <ycy_> yes forget kernels
[10:34] <Flannel> ycy_: lamp is *not* a part of the server install.
[10:34] <gavi> i just installed from fresh 8.04 the only thing i did was install my video card, and installed compiz-fusion.. it seems that none of my shortcut keys are working... ctrl + c ctrl+v etc  anyone ?
[10:34] <marius> hi, ist here a way to force ubuntu to put the trash only on the systempartition and not on any dataoartition?
[10:34] <gavi> ill bet its something inside compiz jsut not sure what
[10:34] <Flannel> ycy_: lamp is an extra thing you can have the server install CD install for you.  But its not a part of "Ubuntu Server"
[10:35] <central> what should i use for that ?user setting ?
[10:35] <unop> hateball, it's quite simple if you can use grep and cut ..  apt-get remove $(apt-show-versions -r ^openoffice.org | grep -i "$VERSION_STRING" | cut -d "/" -f 1)
[10:35] <Flannel> ycy_: and installing it on a desktop system is easy anyway. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[10:35] <ycy_> Flannel: ok that's more clear, thanks
[10:35] <ycy_> Flannel: so what is  the difference (in packages for server) between installing ubuntu-server and ubuntu-desktop?
[10:36] <Flannel> ycy_: There is no ubuntu-server
[10:36] <Jonian> hello :)
[10:36] <Flannel> ycy_: And I'm not really sure what you're asking there anyway.
[10:36] <Baby_Shambl3s> i have added someone to ignore list but i cna still see them typing what am i doing wrong?
[10:36] <Jonian> is it possible to install ubuntu on a P3 seleron 500 MHz ?
[10:36] <Jonian> :P
[10:36] <Flannel> Jonian: yes
[10:36] <DRebellion> Baby_Shambl3s, failing to ignore them.
[10:36] <hateball> unop: In this case it was quite easy, just apt-get remove ooobasis3-* and it pulled the depenencies etc. I still think it'd be nice if you could pass it through the original packages somehow... If I installed 500 packages and then wanted to remove them I'd be quite annoyed
[10:37] <Jonian> Flannel , what version ?
[10:37] <Baby_Shambl3s> DRebellion: plz tell me how on xchat
[10:37] <Smegzor> Something is wrong with my pc's networking (not wireless).  it regularly slows down to a crawl (<5kb/sec) but I don't know why.  I've done enough tests to know its just this pc and nothing else, but I don't know how to fix it.  Any suggestions?
[10:37] <Flannel> Jonian: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[10:37] <Jonian> Flannel , thnx. :)
[10:38] <unop> hateball, well, you can always extract the actual package names from *.deb in a directory and then pipe that to apt-get. i believe dpkg-scanpackages does this
[10:38] <CaptainMorgan> !quadkonsole
[10:38] <central> i need to give the permission to my user "central" to this folder /dev/vboxdrv how to please what should i use to do it
[10:38] <gavi> Baby_Shambl3s, window > ignore list > add > nick!userid@host.com
[10:39] <havocstorm> hey guys
[10:39] <gavi> central, chmod 777 /folder/ -r
[10:39] <CaptainMorgan> anybody know anything about QuadKonsole? it's not in the repositories and ubottu doesn't know anything about it
[10:39] <unop> gavi, err no
[10:39] <gavi> sudo ;-P
[10:39] <pajamian> oh gah, no gavi
[10:40] <havocstorm> does anyone know a good program for playing music and managing the ipod
[10:40] <gavi> y not?
[10:40] <marin> Why whenever i type sudo apt-get install <somepackage> i get this error, example: E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[10:40] <unop> central, make your user a member of the group owning that directory
[10:40] <ycy_> Flannel: how can i get this menu in ubuntu-desktop? http://images.howtoforge.com/images/ubuntu_home_fileserver/25.png
[10:40] <havocstorm> Amarok doesn't play nice with gnome and does actually synch with the ipod
[10:40] <kenkku> havocstorm: if you use gnome, rhythmbox is quite nice
[10:40] <pajamian> unless you want to be giving exec permissions to loads of files that aren't executable, and messign up other flags such as suid and sgid, etc.
[10:40] <havocstorm> does it synch with the ipoid?
[10:40] <kenkku> havocstorm: I don't know about its ipod capabilities
[10:40] <unop> !info ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[10:41] <unop> marin, make sure you have all the ubuntu repositories enabled
[10:41] <CaptainMorgan> havocstorm, I haven't had problems with amarok in gnome... but ipod I'm not sure about
[10:41] <havocstorm> kenkku, rythmbox is a great music player, but it doesn't synch the ipod
[10:41] <Flannel> ycy_: Thats a menu during the install itself. tasksel is equivalent in functionality
[10:41] <havocstorm> CaptainMorgan, all amark does is copy songs to the ipod, not much else
[10:42] <Luhnne> Hi all i am new att Ubuntu(All linux) can some one help me in a privet chat pleas
[10:42] <marin> unop, how to enable repositories?
[10:42] <bobby> hello ; do you know any tool to download from rapidshare without an account ? thank you
[10:42] <koshari> havocstorm i run amarok fine with gnome?
[10:42] <unop> marin, System > Admin. > Software Sources
[10:42] <kenkku> havocstorm: by syncing you mean what? do you need something more sophisticated than just copying songs to it?
[10:43] <havocstorm> kenkku, like synching play counts and playlists and ratings, much like itunes
[10:43] <unop> bobby, that's impossible even without a tool - so not
[10:43] <ghostlines> gtkpod works fine for copying files to an ipod
[10:43] <unop> no*
[10:43] <havocstorm> koshari, its the half-assed ipod support that did it
[10:43] <marin> unop, so what from there, everything is checked there
[10:43] <pretender> O have created a ext3 storage partition how do i mount it in ubuntu  8.04
[10:43] <zvacet> Luhnne : it is better to ask here because other can benefit
[10:43] <havocstorm> ghostlines, yeah but it doesn't play songs and crashes alot for me
[10:44] <Luhnne> oki
[10:44] <bobby> unop : how come ? a simple download manager should work ; ii don't need hacks to download multiple times; just a manager to get the files one by one
[10:44] <havocstorm> How hard is for an intergrated music player/ ipod manager like itunes in ubuntu
[10:44] <koshari> havocstorm mine connects great to a g4 ipod photo clasic? i dont care much for the playlis statistics much, just transfering music on and off
[10:44] <unop> marin, open up a terminal and run this then.   sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[10:44] <gavi> fols why is my ctrl+c and ctrl+v not working.. i think something is disabled in CCSM
[10:45] <Luhnne> i am trying to install new driver for my ATi  card but dont know how to install them
[10:45] <zvacet> bobby : I didn´t work with it but you can try d4x
[10:45] <havocstorm> koshari, I have playlists of my favourite songs and stuff, just transfering songs kinda sucks
[10:45] <unop> bobby, a simple download manager won't work as they have a CAPTCHA filter to stop automated tools from accessing the services.
[10:45] <Luhnne> i got ubuntu 8,0
[10:45] <bobby> unop: i don't see one now
[10:45] <koshari> havocstorm if rythmbox had dynamic playlist i would prolly use it, but thats the deal sealer for me
[10:45] <bobby> zvacet : thank you
[10:46] <fyrestrtr> exaile ftw
[10:46] <zvacet> bobby : see if it works first and then you can thank me  :)
[10:46] <havocstorm> koshari, do you think that there's crappy ipod support because not many linux users own ipods or something?
[10:46] <bobby> zvacet : i read about it ; it now it's little hope :) , but at least it's a suggestion
[10:47] <cr0w> hi
[10:47] <zvacet> Luhnne : what kind of problem do you have with it
[10:47] <cr0w> how i install Cairo dock ?!
[10:47] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, what r u talking about, linux ipod support is great
[10:47] <unop> bobby, how's an automated tool going to get past something like this? http://depressedprogrammer.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/worstcaptchaever.jpg
[10:47] <koshari> havocstorm as i said i dont find it crappy, so i would guess its more to do with not many people care about transfering playcounts and stuff like that
[10:48] <havocstorm> [Hardy]TuTUXG, there's no program that intergrates music library managerment and ipod management properly
[10:48] <Luhnne> ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64(2).run
[10:48] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, um.. try songbird
[10:48] <bobby> unop : did u see the new rapidshare site ?
[10:48] <Luhnne> i can install this
[10:49] <Luhnne> cant
[10:49] <cr0w> how i install cairo dock ?
[10:49] <bobby> unop : and it;s ok if a manager would ask the user to write the captch down
[10:49] <zvacet>    Luhnne : http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
[10:49] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, if u just wanna export songs from ipod, rhythmbox can already do the job
[10:50] <koshari> TuTUXG i think he means syncing stuff like playcounts ect
[10:50] <havocstorm> [Hardy]TuTUXG, gah, do I have to compile songbird for ubuntu
[10:50] <Luhnne> oki thx i will se iff i can get it 2 wurk
[10:51] <pretender> I  have created a ext3 storage partition how do i mount it in ubuntu  8.04
[10:51] <ozkelligirl> hi all
[10:51] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, and if u deal with a hfs ipod, disable journaling and linux can handle it just like a mac
[10:51] <Rajec> guys have you experience lower performance after using ubuntu for longer time like in windows u know
[10:51] <havocstorm> [Hardy]TuTUXG, gah, hfs ipod?
[10:51] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, no, it's not need to compile, just download and run
[10:51] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, the mac format?
[10:51] <havocstorm> [Hardy]TuTUXG, from the songbird website?
[10:52] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, ya, check it out
[10:52] <hateball> unop: I dont seem to have dpkg-scanpackages, nor is it available in any repository... Cant seem to find a command that shows the package name like gdebi does, any other tips?
[10:52] <havocstorm> [Hardy]TuTUXG,ah, I have mine formatted in windows
[10:52] <koshari> pretender: mount dev/yourdev /folder
[10:52] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, ya, but fat32 couldn't take files larger than 4G
[10:52] <koshari> hateball you want dpkg dev
[10:52] <havocstorm> [Hardy]TuTUXG,ah, hmm
[10:52] <unop> !clone
[10:52] <IpodLinux> anyone know a good site for desktop eye candy screenshots and explanations on how to "copy" that desktop?
[10:52] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> that's y i formated mine to hfs
[10:52] <havocstorm> [Hardy]TuTUXG, but it's .tar.gz
[10:53] <havocstorm> [Hardy]TuTUXG, doesn't it have to be .deb?
[10:53] <ozkelligirl> what is the best program for cd recording?
[10:53] <unop> hateball,  it's in the dpkg-dev package which should be installed by default
[10:53] <havocstorm> omfg, why isn't songbird in the repositories
[10:53] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, no, tar.gz just like a .zip file
[10:53] <koshari> ozkelligirl me thinks k3b
[10:53] <unop> hateball,  /usr/bin/dpkg-scanpackages
[10:54] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, it's compressed, u decompress it and use it
[10:54] <havocstorm> [Hardy]TuTUXG, ah, I see thanks
[10:54] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, .deb files are package files that u need to use apt to install
[10:54] <ozkelligirl> kool
[10:55] <zvacet>  havocstorm :  http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=songbird
[10:55] <hateball> unop, koshari : Wasnt installed by default on my 8.04 x64 at least.. But I'll give it a whirl now, cheers
[10:55] <koshari> unop i dont think dpkg-dev is in the desktop metapackage, it wasnt in 7.04/7.10 at least
[10:55] <koshari> hateball making a personal repository are we
[10:56] <gavi> sorry for the repost my ctrl+c and ctrl+v not working.. i think something is disabled in CCSM. does anyone have a solution
[10:56] <unop> koshari, not really sure about what's taken out from what release - i've been upgrading all the way since breezy
[10:56] <havocstorm> zvacet, thanks
[10:56] <hateball> koshari: no, just playing around with installing/removing with dpkg from the commandline, using only filenames as known information
[10:56] <zvacet> havocstorm :yw
[10:57] <koshari> unop wow, i hit a few snags along the upgrade path so i usually do freshies these days
[10:57] <Rajec> guys have you experience lower performance after using ubuntu for longer time like in windows u know
[10:58] <koshari> unop besides we keep 5 PCs upgraded with the same ver so with apt-cacher it makes it easy
[10:58] <koshari> Rajec not me
[10:59] <koshari> Rajec btw do you mean uptime or time since install?
[10:59] <unop> hateball, heh, look what i overlooked.   for i in /path/to/*.deb; do dpkg-deb -W $i; done
[11:00] <IpodLinux> anyone know a good site for desktop eye candy screenshots and explanations on how to "copy" that desktop? lynucs.org is kind of useful but they don't have a "how to page"
[11:01] <koshari> IpodLinux gnomelook
[11:01] <LinuxIST>  is there a lirc channel or remote control channel?
[11:01] <IpodLinux> koshari, while I look any other site?
[11:02] <unop> hateball,   perhaps this.  for i in *.deb; do dpkg-deb -f $i Package; done | xargs sudo apt-get remove
[11:02] <koshari> IpodLinux dunno
[11:02] <RemsSs> hello everybody
[11:02] <IpodLinux> koshari: Thanks for the site though.
[11:03] <IpodLinux> Hi RemsSs
[11:03] <unop> koshari, sorry, i don't see where apt-cacher fits in here.
[11:03] <hateball> unop: Yeah that would do it. Nice.... *notes down for later (ab)use* Thanks :)
[11:03] <LinuxIST> Anyone able to get ATI remote wonder plus working?
[11:03] <gh0st-Pirate> hello all
[11:04] <stemount^> hi gh0st-Pirate
[11:04] <gh0st-Pirate> how are you?\
[11:04] <unop> hateball, i hate the way all these dpkg/apt tools are organised - there's too many of them all doing different things, hard to keep track of what does what
[11:04] <koshari> unop it just saves me alot of banwidth and time
[11:05] <gh0st-Pirate> wondering if someone could help me with a gcc error, anyone savvy?
[11:05] <havocstorm> hey guys
[11:05] <ozkelligirl> what is the best graphic distro?
[11:05] <havocstorm> who here uses song bird
[11:05] <hateball> unop: Well for a newbie like me it is at least... The logical way would be just to dpkg -i *.deb to install, and dpkg -r *.deb to remove. Not having it remove everything, from that directory
[11:05] <gh0st-Pirate> ozkelligirl, i find that its actually find that it is ubuntu
[11:06] <gh0st-Pirate> wondering if someone could help me with a gcc error, anyone savvy?
[11:06] <ozkelligirl> i'm using ubuntu8.04
[11:06] <LinuxIST> Anyone able to get ATI remote wonder plus working?
[11:06] <th0r> you will get better response if you just post your problem
[11:08] <koshari> ozkelligirl you mean graphics apps or eye candy?
[11:08] <ozkelligirl> eye candy
[11:08] <gh0st-Pirate> im currently trying to compile the playstation 3 toolchain to do some dev work but i keep getting this message "checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no, problem: C compiler cannot create executables../scripts/001-binutils-2.17-ppu.sh: Failed." any ideas?
[11:09] <AMLNXUSR> anyone know where i can get widgets from?
[11:09] <gh0st-Pirate> my gcc wont compile for some reason, i updated via svn as well
[11:10] <jianfei> amlnxusr: do u mean gdesklets?
[11:10] <koshari> ozkelligirl eyecandy isnt really distribution dependent, look at gnome-looks for some ideas, i dont know if there is a kde equivlent
[11:10] <Rajec> koshari: yea
[11:10] <gh0st-Pirate> anyone?
[11:10] <AMLNXUSR> i dont know what that is?
[11:11] <th0r> gh0st-Pirate, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=17033
[11:11] <jianfei> amlnxusr: i used gdesklets really cool
[11:11] <ozkelligirl> ok thanks
[11:11] <AMLNXUSR> compizconfig has a widget option i naturally assumed i could dl the widgets from a site or soemthing
[11:12] <jianfei> amlnxusr: i havent used them
[11:12] <cr0w> hi
[11:12] <jianfei> but www.gdesklets.de is worth a look as well
[11:12] <gh0st-Pirate> thank you thor, article must have been quite buried as my google-foo turned out fruitless lol, thanks
[11:12] <cr0w> i have a problem..
[11:12] <sugi> noob question, how do I install xfce4?
[11:13] <Mechdave> sugi, apt-get install xfce4
[11:13] <sugi> Mechdave:
[11:13] <koshari> sugi from ubuntu vanilla or scratch?
[11:13] <cr0w> the resolution of the approached window is too much large reduces like it?
[11:13] <sugi> Mechdave: thanks
[11:14] <Mechdave> sugi, best to use this: sudo apt-get install xfce4
[11:14] <sugi> koshari, .... what ya mean?  i am under gnome right now
[11:14] <cr0w> the resolution of "window access" is too much large..i can reduce it ?
[11:14] <koshari> sugi actually xubuntu-desktop is prolly a better solution
[11:14] <simi> where i can find the text that scroles up when booting? the /var/log/boot is empty? i must enable liging? i want to see what is started and what i can remove, time stamp would be nice
[11:15] <th0r> simi, dmesg
[11:15] <sugi> koshari: it would be better when find apps like.... just install gnome apps for xubuntu, or do I have to find special packages for xubuntu?
[11:15] <th0r> simi, and /var/log/messages
[11:15] <cr0w> the resolution of "window access" is too much large..i can reduce it ?
[11:16] <koshari> sugi you can really install whatever packages you like, however if you use xubuntu-desktop it will install all the apps the xubuntu CD install would
[11:17] <cr0w> the resolution of "window access" is too much large..i can reduce it ?
[11:17] <sugi> koshari: what would be better? sudo apt-get or cd installation (if i can even apt-get xubuntu)
[11:17] <Baby_Shambl3s> sugi: live Cd install
[11:18] <Baby_Shambl3s> sugi: wait what exactly are you doing
[11:18] <koshari> sugi apt-get will be fine if you have the bandwidth, it will also give you the added advantage of being able to log in as an xfce or gnome session
[11:19] <sugi> Baby_Shambl3s: looking for a new interface, i am under gnome, and I want somethign more light weight
[11:20] <sugi> koshari: what kinds of draw backs would I get from either xfce or xubuntu??  Like do I have to find special packages for each interface?
[11:20] <marin> I followed this tutorial on how to set my wlan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff , after I done everything my WLAn was still not working, I couldn't turn on my WLAN on button, then I typed in console this http://pastebin.com/f60b7c0c7 and wlan started glowing it was on, now I setup everything to connect on my router through WLAN, and It say that is connected(signal is 94%) but I still can't go on internet, help me
[11:21] <cr0w> how I open the file .config?
[11:21] <marin> cr0w, with pico
[11:21] <marin> cr0w, pico filename.config
[11:22] <th0r> sugi, some of the gnome 'gadgets' won't work in xfce unless you install the gnome support libs, but by and large everything should work in either desktop
[11:22] <koshari> sugi the xubuntu metapackage includes apps that are suited to a lighter weight environment, theres not much point in having an xfce session for nimbleness if oyur going to usse more intensive programs that a lihgter varient may be better suited to
[11:22] <th0r> sugi, if you are looking for lightweight then xfce is a much better choice
[11:23] <cr0w> ok :D
[11:23] <cr0w> the resolution of "window access" is too much large..i can reduce it ?
[11:23] <Baby_Shambl3s> sugi, there is fluxbox & jwm those are quite light and dont require any extra packages like XFCE "im positive those two are lgither than xfce"
[11:23] <koshari> sugi personnaly i prefer fluxbox for a minimalistic environment, others like blackbox ect...
[11:24] <marin> ﻿I followed this tutorial on how to set my wlan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff , after I done everything my WLAn was still not working, I couldn't turn on my WLAN on button, then I typed in console this http://pastebin.com/f60b7c0c7 and wlan started glowing it was on, now I setup everything to connect on my router through WLAN, and It say that is connected(signal is 94%) but I still can't go on internet, help
[11:25] <Baby_Shambl3s> sugi: xubuntu same as ubuntu but with gnome apps mostly i didnt see much of a difference compared to fluxbox which was great but needs a lot of editing and JWM
[11:25] <koshari> sugi again though other than taking up some hard drive space theres really no harm in having a few desktop sessions available to check out, the only real caveat i find is a lot more updates ....
[11:26] <koshari> Baby_Shambl3s i actually find fluxbox easier to configure than xfce
[11:26] <Baby_Shambl3s> koshari: true but in his case i believe he needs a better desktop manager
[11:27] <Baby_Shambl3s> koshari: really, hmmm I haven never tried to configure xfce tried it once kept it for like 30min took it off :)
[11:27] <threequarks> has firefox 3 been released for ubuntu hardy?  i'm on hardy but my repos are showing firefox 3 beta
[11:27] <jimcooncat> xfce is simple enough to configure, you can get it looking very nice
[11:28] <th0r> threequarks, I think 3.0.1 just came out the other day as an update
[11:28] <koshari> sugi if you want ultra light weight boot an application into a pure x session :-) not good for multitasking but great for single apps, like kiosk browsers and jukeboxes, this is basicly how tomtom navigators work
[11:28] <threequarks> th0r:   sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0?
[11:28] <Flannel> threequarks: No, just regular updates
[11:29] <DRebellion> !info firefox | threequarks
[11:29] <koshari> threequarks just do a sys update and ff3 will be installed
[11:29] <th0r> threequarks, don't know....it just came out with the auto-updates
[11:29] <LinuxIST> lirc light is on and the remote control is detected but can't control anythin
[11:29] <threequarks> ah yes. i see.  thanks...  better do the 253 updates waiting in my update manager...
[11:29] <DRebellion> threequarks, that might help ;)
[11:30] <kenkku> koshari: just out of interest, how oes one do that?
[11:30] <kenkku> *does
[11:30] <threequarks> lazy with updates here... bad habit. ;-)
[11:30] <Baby_Shambl3s> threequarks: yeah can see that
[11:30] <koshari> threequarks then backup all your debs in /var/cache/apt so you dont need to download them again if you install on a second machine

[11:36] <iamthin> cookie_dough, your bios support
[11:37] <koshari> camuflage iam guessing your back using vesa drivers
[11:37] <khama> okay is there someone who  can help me
[11:37] <cookie_dough> iamthin: well, I put in the usb drive, press esc and choose it from the boot menu
[11:37] <camuflage> koshari, yes
[11:37] <Saladin> khama: With what?
[11:37] <cookie_dough> iamthin: I think I put something wrong on the drive
[11:37] <koshari> camuflage whats your gpu?
[11:37] <Bilionea> Help!
[11:37] <iamthin> cookie_dough, then what happened
[11:37] <cookie_dough> I put on it, the same thing I have on the Ubuntu CD
[11:37] <trask> cookie_dough: got a link to the guide you used to make the stick?
[11:37] <camuflage> koshari, what you mean by that? :S
[11:37] <iamthin> !usbboot
[11:38] <khama> is winutuxu a freeware @saladin
[11:38] <Bilionea> Can someone give me the terminal command to resize my screen size to 1024 X 768?
[11:38] <koshari> camuflage nvidia? intel? ATI?
[11:38] <kindofabuzz> khama: google it
[11:38] <Saladin> khama: Ask google.
[11:38] <cookie_dough> trask: I didn't use a guide. I just "burned" the iso to the falsh drive
[11:38] <Bilionea> Somehow GDM failed I am running in low graphics mode.
[11:38] <Bilionea> Thank you.
[11:38] <camuflage> koshari, ah nvidia gforce 2 of 64Mb
[11:38] <iamthin> !usb
[11:39] <cookie_dough> So, I just want to get rid of Xandros and install eeeBuntu or gOs space on it
[11:39] <khama> no i did that but its kind of not yielding any results
[11:39] <cookie_dough> and I don't have an external DVD/CD drive
[11:39] <onthefence921> i have a microsoft Zune (because my ipod become a brick a year ago) but since buying the zune, i have fully switched to linux, what's the easiest way for me to update the zune with all my media? also i may just want to sell my zune and get a new device of similar quality, what do you know that's good cheap and works with linux (natively perferably)
[11:40] <kenkku> onthefence921: why on earth did you buy a zune?
[11:40] <onthefence921> kenkku: because it's better than teh ipod and for cheaper
[11:40] <koshari> camuflage you will prolly need to reinstall your nvidia-glx package
[11:40] <kenkku> onthefence921: did you get it for free or something?
[11:40] <kenkku> onthefence921: oh yeah it's better. right... ;)
[11:40] <kindofabuzz> khama: you didn't look very hard. http://www.winutuxu.fr.ma/
[11:40] <Bilionea> Ooops! I closed the wrong window! This one.
[11:41] <kindofabuzz> doesn'tlook like it's still around though
[11:41] <khama> that site is not active @kindofabuzz

[11:41] <onthefence921> kenkku: i'm actually really happy with it
[11:41] <Bilionea> Question: What is the command terminal to resize the screen resolution to 1024 by 768?
[11:41] <Vegombrei> hi .. why cant i play two simultaneous audio files at once ?
[11:41] <kenkku> onthefence921: all I've heard is that the features suck and it's ugly :P but good thing that you like it.
[11:42] <simi> in nthe dmesg log file are not all the messages that are printed at boot, i  seen that loading restricted drivers takes many time but i do not have restricted drivers installed, i want to clean all my boot process
[11:42] <Vegombrei> its like i can only use only one app with audio at a time
[11:42] <koshari> Vegombrei: are you using pulseaudio?
[11:42] <gh0st-Pirate> does anyone know how to change an ssh welcome screen? (where the file is located?) {NOT /etc/issue.net, it only says ubuntu 8.0.4}
[11:42] <kindofabuzz> khama: from what i just read, all it is is windows made to look like linux, kinda pointless
[11:43] <onthefence921> it's black and sexy, and i can customize the background, so aestheticly i'm pleased, and features-wise it's the same or more than the ipod, and more stable in my experience
[11:43] <Bilionea> What I really need is to reach the System/Preferences/Screen Resolution, but from the terminal. I cant do this from X Windows
[11:43] <gh0st-Pirate> does anyone know how to change an ssh welcome screen? (where the file is located?) {NOT /etc/issue.net, it only says ubuntu 8.0.4}
[11:43] <Vegombrei> i use totem to watch movies .. and i cant seem to get any audio from firefox while surfing the net .. you know flash stuff .. i have to close totem and restart firefox to get sound there
[11:44] <koshari> Bilionea you would generally edit the xorg.conf file
[11:44] <LinuxIST> How can i generate or see code of my remote using lirc
[11:44] <gh0st-Pirate> try vlc for watching movies, its great ;)
[11:44] <Bilionea> koshari: well, it is OK, trouble that GDM didnt start properly...
[11:44] <Bilionea> koshari: so perhaps I should recompile it? lol
[11:44] <starscalling> Bilionea: actually thats really nto hard at all to deal with
[11:45] <starscalling> er oh
[11:45] <starscalling> your compiling X or just gdm?
[11:45] <starscalling> and why either of them?
[11:45] <sliverchair> TuniX12, any ps1 emultor with a deb package? I'm having a hard time making pSX work
[11:45] <Bilionea> starscalling: X
[11:45] <kindofabuzz> who was asking about ubuntu on a usb?  here ya go, just stumbled on it: http://klik.atekon.de/liveusb/

[11:45] <lunaris> Can anyone tell me how can I install *.bin file?
[11:45] <koshari>  LinuxIST try this link http://www.techtalkwiki.net/getting_the_remote_controll_to_work_in_mythtv_on_xubuntu_with_lirc
[11:45] <anhdh> how can i redirect the mountpoint of the usb?? it's mounted automaticaly when pluged in
[11:45] <Bilionea> starscalling: isnt there an App that does this automatically? The NVIDIA Settings Manager? cant i activate it from the terminal?
[11:46] <koshari> Bilionea i would be guessing you have a driver pronblem, or
[11:46] <th0r> gh0st-Pirate, the welcome screen file (path and filename) are defined in the sshd.conf file
[11:46] <gh0st-Pirate> thanks a million once again thor
[11:46] <LinuxIST> koshari, i have a remote wonder plush
[11:46] <LinuxIST> plus*
[11:47] <lunaris> Can anyone tell me how can I install *.bin file?
[11:47] <wols_> lunaris: bin file of what?
[11:47] <Bilionea> maybe i better reinstall the driver with EnvyNg and see what happens... will be back with  the results
[11:47] <koshari> Bilionea dpkg-reconfigure will re-write your xorg file with one that should work but only if the graphics driver is loaded properly
[11:47] <Jewfro> lunaris sudo ./filename
[11:47] <lunaris> wols_ : realplayer11gold.bin
[11:47] <anhdh> how can i redirect the mountpoint of the usb?? it's mounted automaticaly when pluged in
[11:47] <ericx> just run it
[11:47] <koshari> Bilionea and your monitors edid code is compatible
[11:47] <wols_> lunaris: make the file exectuable and then run it
[11:47] <TuniX12> sliverchair: try sudo apt-get install pcsx-df
[11:48] <TuniX12> it's in universe
[11:48] <lunaris> wols_ : how am I creating executable file from bin file?
[11:48] <koshari> LinuxIST the lirc programs supports most remotes
[11:48] <Jewfro> lunarix, made it executable - sudo chmod +x filename
[11:48] <TuniX12> sliverchair: direct link http://ppa.launchpad.net/fabien-beosfrance/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pcsx-df/pcsx-df_1.818-1_i386.deb
[11:48] <koshari> anhdh add it to your fstab file
[11:48] <koshari> anhdh or manually mount it
[11:49] <anhdh> korashi but how to prevent it from auto mounting
[11:49] <LinuxIST> koshari, the remote is now detected and running but i don't know if the signal is being received
[11:49] <lunaris> Jewfro : chmod: cannot access `RealPlayer11GOLD.bin': No such file or directory
[11:50] <Jewfro> lunaris, issue the command from the same directory as the file
[11:50] <Jewfro> lunaris, or specify the path
[11:50] <TuniX12> sliverchair: for psx http://ppa.launchpad.net/fabien-beosfrance/ubuntu/pool/main/p/psx/psx_1.13~fabdeb2_i386.deb
[11:50] <zaicic> hi, i have a big file with paths generated by find command. any idea how to remove all the files named in that file?
[11:50] <koshari> LinuxIST thats why you use the cat command
[11:51] <lunaris> Jewfro : that file is on desktop,so I should do sudo chamod +x desktop/Realplayer11GOld
[11:51] <lunaris> ?
[11:51] <TuniX12> sliverchair: you should search for plugins and bios too
[11:51] <KenBW2> I just made a bootable persistent (i think) USB install of Ubuntu. When i log in after the first boot it moans that it could not lock the .ICEauthority file. Anything I can do?
[11:51] <lunaris> Jewfro : Something like that?
[11:51] <gh0st-Pirate> hmmmm th0r, doesn't seem to be it, its empty (opened in nano) im still just getting the standard copyright message.
[11:51] <gh0st-Pirate> any ideas?
[11:51] <ATA_Dark_Shadow>  greetings, option host-name in the dhcpd.conf file is able to send the hostname to a client is that correct? If not whats the option called then?
[11:52] <Jewfro> lunaris, sudo chmod +x /home/username/Desktop/filename
[11:52] <sliverchair> TuniX12, I think I'm gonna go with pSX, I finally got apt-get get the library required
[11:52] <gh0st-Pirate> Sorry to bug, but ive googled the hell outta this
[11:52] <th0r> gh0st-Pirate, did you restart sshd?
[11:52] <TuniX12> sliverchair: good

[11:55] <Flannel> ogge: It'd be easier for you if you reinstalled, yeah.
[11:55] <Baby_Shambl3s> sliverchair: ok were on the same line just had to make sure
[11:56] <Bilionea> Success: EnvyNG fixed the problem. Thanks y'all!
[11:56] <Flannel> ogge: since not only is 5.04 off the mirrors, so is 5.10.
[11:56] <Bilionea> bye all
[11:56] <ogge> wols_, Flannel, Ok, thanks for response. I am currently dual booting win2k and ubuntu 5.04.
[11:56] <ogge> Should I remove 5.04 (and how?) and then install the newest ubuntu.
[11:56] <gh0st-Pirate> hmm th0r, do i just add my text in there? oddly enough, after the restart, the file is no longer empty
[11:56] <whyking_> hi, I have a problem with pulseaudio: I have two soundcards and I set the default output to be soundcard #2, while amarok and mplayer output to that soundcard, flash from inside of firefox still outputs to soundcard #1, what could be the cause?
[11:57] <kindofabuzz> ogge: if you want to update to 8.04, your best bet would be to nuke that partition and just install 8.04
[11:57] <lunaris> Jewfro : still same
[11:57] <ogge> kindo, ok cool.
[11:57] <Flannel> ogge: No need to remove, just install the next one overtop.  8.04 will work, yeah.  You'll want the alternate CD if you're going to use fluxbox.
[11:57] <gh0st-Pirate> or do i use an "echo" command, never done this before
[11:57] <koshari> anhdh its not a file its the device name . like sda3 , ie the drive (sda) and the partition (1) ect
[11:57] <sliverchair> Baby_Shambl3s, actually it's just this command, sudo apt-get install libgtkglext1
[11:57] <kenkku> whyking_: flash does not support pulseaudio by default
[11:57] <kindofabuzz> Flannel: he can't just upgrade to 8.04
[11:57] <Baby_Shambl3s> ogge: just use the liveCd to delete the partitions for 5.04 and swap and if your home is on a different HD just set it up to pick it up
[11:57] <kindofabuzz> not from 5.04
[11:57] <Flannel> ogge: You'll want to install the text-only, and then add fluxbox to that (just like you did in Hoary)
[11:57] <Jewfro> lunaris, from the directory /home/lunaris/Desktop, just try the command sudo ./filename, or sudo sh ./filename - beyond that you've exhausted by knowledge, did you try just double clicking it?
[11:57] <th0r> gh0st-Pirate, near the end of /etc/ssh/sshd.conf is a line that defines the banner file. Create a text file that contains your welcome message, then put that path/filename in sshd.conf as the banner filename
[11:57] <Flannel> kindofabuzz: You're right.  Who said otherwise?
[11:58] <Baby_Shambl3s> sliverchair: ive tried to get it working with no avail it uses ram much better than PCSX
[11:58] <ogge> Flannel, perfect, do I need that 8.04 on a burned CD, or can I install it in another way?
[11:58] <anhdh> korashi thanks now i get it
[11:58] <ogge> since I dont have a cd burner....

[11:58] <whyking_> kenkku, I use flash 10 beta, I see it as  a client in pulseaudio
[11:59] <kindofabuzz> Flannel: you, you said to just upgrade
[11:59] <lunaris> Jewfro : I'ts working now with sudo ./filename command! Thanks!!!
[11:59] <Jewfro> ogge, you can request a free CD, takes weeks though, you can buy them for a few bucks from a number of locations, you can install netbootable files on a usb thumbdrive and pull the rest live - many options
[11:59] <Flannel> kindofabuzz: Where did I do that?
[11:59] <ogge> thanks for your help guys!
[11:59] <kindofabuzz> Flannel: [05:57:13] <Flannel> ogge: No need to remove, just install the next one overtop.  8.04 will work, yeah.  You'll want the alternate CD if you're going to use fluxbox.
[12:00] <kenkku> whyking_: try changing the source manually first. the default bit only affects new streams, afaik
[12:00] <Flannel> kindofabuzz: installing overtop is not upgrading.
[12:00] <Baby_Shambl3s> TuniX12, ty but i already have all the bios for the PSX but cnat get the actuall thing to wrok
[12:00] <kindofabuzz> Flannel: my bad, misunderstood ya
[12:00] <Flannel> kindofabuzz: no worries
[12:00] <TuniX12> Baby_Shambl3s: try another emulator
[12:01] <lunaris> Jewfro : Do you know maybe some program for TV/FM cards?
[12:01] <TuniX12> Baby_Shambl3s: you should donwload plugins too
[12:01] <gh0st-Pirate> sorry to sound like a noob, but i tracked down the issue.net file, {which only contained my ubuntu version} i edited it, saved it, restarted ssh, and still nothing. {sudo priv. for the issue.net editing} the path is also correct.
[12:01] <Baby_Shambl3s> TuniX12: I only managed to get it to work once but someone else set it up for me sadly I havent seen them anymore
[12:01] <Jewfro> lunaris, that I do not, search through synaptic
[12:01] <gh0st-Pirate> is there another process i must restart?
[12:01] <lunaris> Jewfro : I have done that,but nothing good appears:)
[12:01] <gh0st-Pirate> im only using ssh localhost
[12:02] <Jewfro> lunaris, try sourceforge.net :)
[12:03] <lunaris> Jewfro : I'm searching over it now! Thanks

[12:05] <whyking_> kenkku, do you mean inside of the config file?
[12:05] <gh0st-Pirate> what im trying to do is when i ssh into my box, have a custom message/banner instead od the standard ubuntu warrenty/usr docs

[12:06] <gh0st-Pirate> so i cant just edit my issue.net?
[12:06] <stmartin> hello!
[12:06] <stmartin> I have one question
[12:06] <koshari> wers tuxpaint
[12:06] <stmartin> configure button says interface does not exist (System ---> Administration ---> Network Tools)
[12:06] <wers> koshari, nice. thanks
[12:06] <stmartin> how to solve this?
[12:07] <koshari> stmartin have you got an ethernet card and is it configured?
[12:07] <stmartin> I have ethernet card
[12:07] <reizer> vrotmnenogi
[12:07] <stmartin> but unfortuantely I can't configure it
[12:07] <stmartin> because of that
[12:07] <stmartin> it is bug of ubuntu
[12:08] <koshari> stmartin what sort of chipset is it based on?
[12:08] <Flannel> !english | reizer
[12:08] <stmartin> koshari: Intel
[12:08] <koshari> stmartin intel have made a LOT of ethernet chipsets, caoud you be a bit more specific?
[12:09] <anhdh> is there any way i can use my usb as a key to lock my computer :))
[12:09] <wols_> koshari: lspci -nn
[12:09] <stmartin> hmm... I don't know actually. Why you need the chipset?
[12:09] <wols_> erm stmartin ^^
[12:09] <wols_> stmartin: lspci -nn
[12:09] <stmartin> what is lspci -nn ?
[12:09] <wols_> a command
[12:09] <koshari> stmartin so you know what driver to load for it
[12:10] <central> just pass by i want to say thx to all ubuntu team ... :)  linux its really a great system
[12:10] <stmartin> Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family)
[12:10] <koshari> stmartin wols has given you a command that will list some of the hardware on your PC, from that list you may be able to determine the ethernet hardware
[12:10] <wols_> that is supported since forever stmartin
[12:11] <wols_> stmartin: /sbin/ifconfig -a
[12:11] <koshari> wols_ does that use the e100 driver?
[12:11] <stmartin> why I receive that error in Network Tools?
[12:11] <stmartin> I have ubuntu 8.04
[12:11] <wols_> koshari: no. one of the first gbit ones
[12:11] <koshari> stmartin lsmod
[12:11] <koshari> wols_ eepro100?
[12:11] <gh0st-Pirate> o well, i'll figure it out later. ive tried everything unless # denotes a commented out field
[12:12] <stmartin> what is lsmod for?
[12:12] <stmartin> I wrote it
[12:12] <koshari> wols_ sorry gigabit griver, i was thinking it was an old onew
[12:12] <jazzkutya> how can i make ff3 go back with the backspace key as in ie and earlier ff?
[12:12] <koshari> stmartin lsmod means list modules , it will print a list of the modules loaded at the moment
[12:12] <stmartin> koshari: do u get the same error?
[12:13] <wols_> stmartin: lsmod | grep e100
[12:13] <thatotherguy> is there reason that ubuntu isnt able to partition or read the partitions on my hard drive?
[12:13] <koshari> stmartin no, but my ethernet card is configured properely
[12:13] <wols_> thatotherguy: what hdd controller?
[12:13] <stmartin> koshari: how did u configure ur card?
[12:13] <thatotherguy> how would i be able to find out?
[12:13] <wols_> thatotherguy: lspci
[12:14] <stmartin> wols_ i wrote it, and noting happened
[12:14] <wols_> stmartin: I gave you some commands. what is the output?
[12:14] <koshari> stmartin on this machine it was picked up automaticly but on others i have had to do a little playing round with blacklists ect, others sometimes need to compile drivers for very ner chipsets that arnt supported by the kernel yet
[12:14] <stmartin> the lsmod gave me output
[12:15] <ubuntu> ciao a tutti
[12:15] <stmartin> with ifconfig
[12:15] <stmartin> I got eth0, lo, ppp0
[12:15] <koshari> stmartin if you got no reply from wols command it means you dont have the e100 module loaded,
[12:15] <ubuntu> i'm new in ubuntu system
[12:15] <stmartin> eth0 is my card as I know
[12:15] <wers> what's an app like MS paint? i dont like tuxpaint. it's like a toy
[12:15] <stmartin> koshari: what is that module for?
[12:15] <ubuntu> please how can i install .exe files?
[12:16] <Flannel> !wine | ubuntu
[12:16] <wols_> stmartin: more info needed. what exactly does the eth0 stanza say?
[12:16] <th0r> wers, gimp
[12:16] <stmartin> No errors, no nothing,
[12:16] <wols_> wers: so is MS paint. look at the gimp
[12:16] <wols_> stmartin: there is no nothing.
[12:16] <ubuntu> thanks
[12:16] <wers> th0r, i want to make straight lines
[12:16] <Flannel> wers: OOo Draw
[12:16] <wers> how do I do that?
[12:16] <wols_> stmartin: there is lots of output besides eth0. WHAT?
[12:16] <koshari> stmartin e100 is one of the MANY ethernet modules linux uses
[12:16] <stmartin> collisions:0, txqueuelen: 1000
[12:16] <th0r> wers, gimp
[12:16] <Flannel> wers: or dia, or a number of other things
[12:16] <stmartin> How to install e100?
[12:17] <wols_> koshari: I didn't ask for e100
[12:17] <wols_> stmartin: the driver is already loaded
[12:17] <wers> i just want to make perfectly straight strokes. how do I do that?
[12:17] <kindofabuzz> the line tool
[12:17] <wers> kindofabuzz, thanks. i'll look for it
[12:18] <anasazi> Hi. Can anybody tell me what I have to install in order to resolve  dependency virtual/libsdl?
[12:18] <wers> too many icons in gimp. my nose is bleeding
[12:18] <anasazi> (I want to compile scummvm with a bitbake recipe)
[12:18] <stmartin> how should I solve this problem?
[12:18] <koshari> wers you want a drawing proggie, try OOs drawing program or if you would prefer a more complex proggie qcad
[12:18] <wols_> anasazi: depends on the exact errors you get
[12:18] <wers> is the line tool hidden or something?
[12:19] <kindofabuzz> anyone try this yet? just wondering if it works. http://easylinuxwifi.org/
[12:19] <wols_> stmartin: unless you answer me completely, you will do it on your own
[12:19] <anasazi> wols_: mom I get u a paste
[12:19] <phred102> hello everyone
[12:19] <jazzkutya> wers: yup it's hidden, google for it, there is a nice straight line tutorial somewhere, lol :)
[12:19] <stmartin> wols_ sorry but pastebin is not oppening
[12:19] <stmartin> because of I can't configure properly
[12:19] <stmartin> nothing works
[12:19] <wers> oh damn. i always had a hard time with gimp. lol
[12:19] <wols_> stmartin: then do it on your own. goodbye
[12:19] <anasazi> wols_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/30531/
[12:19] <kindofabuzz> what is e100?
[12:19] <Flannel> wers: I think you have to use a modifier key.  ctrl or alt.
[12:19] <European-African> in Puppy linux iso's are automatically mounted when clicked in the file browser. How do I get ubuntu to do this?
[12:20] <wers> don't get me wrong. I respect gimp a lot i just find it too hard to use
[12:20] <stmartin> wols_ here it is
[12:20] <jazzkutya> wers: well not actually hidden but there is a key combination for it and i think that is good
[12:20] <stmartin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/30532/
[12:20] <wers> Flannel, i'lll try. thanks
[12:20] <wols_> anasazi: apt-cache search dsl
[12:20] <wols_> stmartin: sudo dhclient eth0
[12:20] <central> any one know where i can find a simple website with all the basic linux command ?
[12:20] <wols_> stmartin: do you use dsl or dialup for ppp?

[12:21] <wols_> stmartin: how do you connect to your modem? ethernet or usb?
[12:22] <phred102> can I ask a question about my ubuntu machine?
[12:22] <whileimhere> HI! Morning Folks!
[12:22] <phred102> morning
[12:22] <whileimhere> Dont ask to ask just ask
[12:22] <central> terminal
[12:22] <wers> nice. shift is the modifier. you really need a tutorial with gimp
[12:22] <Flannel> wers: If you're just drawing lines (and stuff like that), inkscape might be easier
[12:22] <phred102> k
[12:23] <central> thx
[12:23] <wers> Flannel, will install it. thanks
[12:23] <phred102> no really, I have 7.10 on my 64 bit laptop
[12:23] <oldcpu> central: lots of sites http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html or http://www.linuxguide.it/commands_list.php?Choose_Language:English ... http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~squadron/ ... etc ..
[12:23] <European-African> can you believe it, my ISP is restricting my connection! Can I get nautilus to auto mount iso's when clicked?
[12:23] <wers> i wonder why i found corel draw easy to use
[12:23] <phred102> and I upgraded to the new 8.somthing
[12:23] <phred102> and all my graphics are messed up
[12:23] <phred102> something*
[12:23] <wols_> phred102: what videocard?
[12:23] <whileimhere> wers Corel Draw is easier to use I agree but that is because Inkscape is trying new things with the design I think.
[12:24] <koshari> European-African there some scripts available to make maunting isos easier in nautilus
[12:24] <phred102> anyhow, it's an Nvida
[12:24] <European-African> ﻿koshari: are they in the spm'?
[12:24] <wers> whileimhere, i'm referring to gimp. i find *the* gimp hard
[12:24] <phred102> I have used ubuntu for about three years on verious machines
[12:24] <whileimhere> Phred102 that came through garbled try again.
[12:24] <whileimhere> wers GIMP is HARD/
[12:25] <phred102> it's an Nvida video card
[12:25] <wers> really? so I'm normal.hehe
[12:25] <phred102> 7.10 works great
[12:25] <European-African> the Gimp interface is hard to get used to
[12:25] <phred102> I even use compiz and it works
[12:25] <European-African> I way prefer Photoshop
[12:25] <wols_> phred102: how did you install the nvidia drivers in 7.10?
[12:25] <European-African> been using it for ages
[12:26] <kindofabuzz> European-African: here's a script: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87369

[12:29] <kindofabuzz> you use checkinstall instead of make install and it makes a .deb and installs for you leaving a .deb for latter use

[12:39] <kindofabuzz> whileimhere: enlightenment is in the repos you know
[12:39] <fract^wizz> stylzP, Its like this, i have 1 harddrive, and i got 2 partitions, 1 with WinXP and one with Linux, so if i boot windows and shut it down properly, i should be able to mount ?
[12:39] <koshari> the second command
[12:40] <th0r> whileimhere, that, I think, is e16....used to be great til they abandoned it for e17
[12:40] <whileimhere> kindofabuzz: Its the old version 16 I am hoping for the new version 17
[12:40] <stmartin> It says: PING 192.168.1.1  56(84) bytes of data.
[12:40] <stylzP> its internal? you want to mount the windows partition
[12:40] <kindofabuzz> whileimhere: i'd go with what's easy, then worry about upgrades once it's installed
[12:40] <koshari> stmartin well your network card is working fine
[12:40] <stmartin> From 62.162.1.21 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable
[12:40] <stylzP> fract^wizz:  yes
[12:40] <stmartin> From 62.162.1.21 icmp_seq=27 Destination Host Unreachable
[12:40] <fract^wizz> stylzP, Yes, its internal, i do a dualboot
[12:41] <stmartin> and 10 more errors like that
[12:41] <koshari> stmartin oh well in that case its a prob
[12:41] <fract^wizz> stylzP, Oh, nice :) ill try that then :) Thanks for your help !
[12:41] <stylzP> fract^wizz:  yes shutdown windows and it should work ;)
[12:41] <stmartin> still I don't know why I cant access Configure button of Network Tools
[12:42] <kindofabuzz> stmartin: did you hit unlock?
[12:42] <whileimhere> kindofabuzz: Ahh I see some confusion here e16 and e17 are not even related except by name.
[12:42] <koshari> stmartin is your internet modem configured as a dhcp server? and why does your machine have an ip address in the 65 range?
[12:42] <stmartin> yes
[12:42] <koshari> 62 range
[12:43] <stmartin> I think those are the dns servers of my ISP provider
[12:43] <koshari> stmartin not on your home network,
[12:43] <kindofabuzz> whileimhere: http://maketecheasier.com/get-enlighted-try-enlightenment-for-your-ubuntu-hardy/2008/05/23
[12:43] <Vezir> GAH
[12:43] <kindofabuzz> whileimhere: at bottom it says: E17 is still under heavy development and is not suitable for production systems.
[12:43] <Vezir> my music wont work now
[12:44] <stmartin> if I try to configure my PPPoE connection on System -> Admin > NEtwork
[12:44] <whileimhere> kindofabuzz yeah it has said that for years.
[12:44] <koshari> stmartin will the left mouse click on the network icon let you access manual config?
[12:44] <stmartin> my int, connection fails to connect
[12:44] <kindofabuzz> whileimhere: probably dead then
[12:44] <stmartin> yes
[12:44] <whileimhere> kindofabuzz its an easy way of saying development is slow and if it breaks it aint our fault.
[12:44] <stmartin> I can ulock it
[12:45] <stmartin> and I can setup it
[12:45] <whileimhere> oh no a new 1.0 version of e17 was release in april.
[12:45] <stmartin> but when I configure it I can't connect to internet
[12:45] <kindofabuzz> whileimhere: i'd go with 16 then, save yourself the trouble, unless you're trying to help develop it, but i doubt that because then you'd know how to install it =)
[12:45] <lunaris> kinofabuzz : is there any device manager on xubuntu?
[12:46] <kindofabuzz> whileimhere: why don't you find if there is an enlightenment irc, you'd get more help there i'm sure
[12:46] <whileimhere> kindofabuzz: Exactly right. And I never got this link googling here.
[12:46] <kindofabuzz> lunaris: /shrug
[12:46] <whileimhere> kindofabuzz becuase like so many rooms on IRC there are screen names but no one is home ever.
[12:47] <stmartin> Lag: 30 s ? ??
[12:47] <lunaris> kinofabuzz : that command is not working...
[12:47] <koshari> stmartin what machine are you using now and is it on the same network as the one that wont connect?
[12:47] <pulseezar> gparted is perfect thanks!
[12:47] <stmartin> I have dual boot
[12:47] <stmartin> I am on ubuntu now
[12:47] <pulseezar> what type of file system does ubuntu use by default?
[12:47] <stmartin> but struggling to survive with problems
[12:48] <bengee>  Important:i just downloaded system updates and it seems to be stuck on "Generating locales de_AT.UTF-8..." now i don't know what to do
[12:48] <joaopinto> pulseezar, ext3

[12:49] <wols_> stmartin: check kernel logs. dmesg
[12:49] <kindofabuzz> did i give a command?
[12:49] <wols_> bengee: I mean what I said
[12:49] <koshari> stmartin sounds like a dns problem to me, can you connect to web addressed cosistantly using ip address?
[12:49] <lunaris> kinofabuzz : /shrug
[12:49] <kindofabuzz> LOL that's not a command
[12:49] <stmartin> I tried ubuntuforums.org and it works
[12:50] <bengee> wols_:will the downloaded files be lost if i restart?
[12:50] <kindofabuzz> someone post that on bash.org
[12:50] <lunaris> kinofabuzz : so whrere should I search for device manager?
[12:50] <kindofabuzz> lunaris: that was me shrugging as in i don't know.
[12:50] <gordonjcp> lunaris: What exactly are you trying to do?
[12:51] <lunaris> kinofabuzz : I'm trying to see is my TV/FM card instaled
[12:51] <fde> lunaris: lsmod and lspci

[12:55] <lunaris> kinofabuzz : how can I install device manager in 8.04
[12:55] <fde> lunaris: If you really want, you can try hal-device-manager ... it does nothing though.
[12:55] <koshari> sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager
[12:55] <Vezir> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:55] <BoltClock> icesword: cant find an option for repeat one track. in iTunes i would click again on repeat to toggle repeat one

[12:58] <fde> lunaris: what does the command I stated output?
[12:58] <lunaris> fde : just a sec
[12:59] <unop> zeco, you can have a superceded nameserver written in by dhclient.   man dhclient and search for supercede

[13:02] <BoltClock> how do i get rhythmbox to repeat only one track in my playlist?
[13:03] <fde> lunaris: no... try tvtime or mythtv ... but first lets make sure the module is even around... lsmod | grep saa ?
[13:03] <zeco> unop: thx! but still I find it annoying that wvdial can't be told to do the correct thing
[13:03] <soundray> BoltClock: not sure, I think you have to make a new playlist with just that track
[13:03] <hateball> BoltClock: Make a playlist with just that song
[13:03] <vLaCki> so anyone knows how to set max adsl internet on linuX?
[13:03] <BoltClock> thats the only known way?
[13:04] <lunaris> fde : I typed that...it's a bunch on lines...want to paste it?
[13:04] <unop> zeco, not sure about wvdail, never used it
[13:04] <fde> lunaris: nah, that there is output should be enough to know it's working  :)
[13:04] <soundray> BoltClock: what's the problem with it?
[13:04] <BoltClock> soundray: oh its nothing
[13:04] <fde> lunaris: ok... many like mythtv these days... try with that instead of CS Monkey... if CS Monkey was any good, I'd have heard of it  ;)
[13:04] <vLaCki> im n00b...
[13:05] <unop> zeco, you could also have a look at these files .  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/*
[13:05] <lunaris> fde : so I have to do sudo apt-get install mythtv ?
[13:05] <aguiardb> ola

[13:06] <kompi10> nees
[13:07] <fde> lunaris: yeah, mythtv should handle all that fun stuff... but yeah, that's the correct command.
[13:07] <soundray> ZmAY: reinstall grub. The procedure is the same as given in the RecoveringUbuntu... instructions
[13:07] <soundray> !grub | ZmAY
[13:07] <cr0w> hi
[13:07] <wolfeySI> hello what would be good linux software to use webcam to take pictures, .jpg, webcam works in amsn
[13:07] <wwbwwb> install ubuntu again
[13:08] <soundray> ZmAY: make sure you disable the 'virus protection' item in the BIOS setup
[13:08] <lunaris> fde :  I have typed that..but nothing happened...maybe it's some other name of package?
[13:08] <ZmAY> ok thanks
[13:08] <cr0w> how i install headphone !?
[13:08] <fde> lunaris: make sure you have universe and multiverse enabled.
[13:08] <soundray> cr0w: USB?
[13:08] <wwbwwb> when it finished,the grub will does work
[13:08] <fde> wolfeySI: ucview or cheese afaik
[13:08] <cr0w> no jack
[13:09] <lunaris> fde : how? I'm a big noob in Linux world:)
[13:09] <soundray> wwbwwb: not if the bios has made the MBR unwritable
[13:09] <fde> lunaris: System > Administration > Software Sources ... first tab I think
[13:09] <pogay> I have downloaded and tried to install the newest packages for grub2 (unter ubuntu7.10) . Now I have a problem to remove the packages again and get to the old state.
[13:09] <koshari> lunaris use synaptic if your inexperianced to install stuff
[13:09] <fde> pogay: Why did you try grub2?
[13:10] <cr0w> they are connected with the jack
[13:10] <wwbwwb> not about the bios
[13:10] <soundray> cr0w: then it's nothing special. You just plug it in. There may be a separate volume slider in the Volume Control panel
[13:10] <fde> pogay: what is the problem though?
[13:10] <pogay> fde. because my slimline disk doesn't boot with grub legacy
[13:10] <wolfeySI> fde: thx
[13:10] <vLaCki> UZBUNTU RULEZZ
[13:10] <wwbwwb> just the grub
[13:10] <vLaCki> UBUNTU*
[13:10] <lunaris> koshari : I'm doing it over synaptic now
[13:11] <fde> pogay: grub2 supports less stuff afaik.
[13:11] <cr0w> when I insert the jack does not listen  nothing
[13:11] <soundray> cr0w: read what I wrote
[13:11] <wolfeySI> cr0w: mixer settings? either in gui, or 'alsamixer? ?
[13:11] <soundray> cr0w: and use my nick if you're responding to me
[13:11] <fde> cr0w: System > Preferences > Sound ... make sure it's set up there.
[13:11] <wwbwwb> just the grub
[13:11] <pogay> 7.10 has not the newes packages of grub2. And I tried to install newer ones from debian recources
[13:11] <GreyGhost> !mount
[13:12] <fde> pogay: wow... so you basically have a huge mess... I'd just reinstall if I was you  :/
[13:12]  * wolfeySI couldnt convince ubuntu to not use lame sound on motherboard as primary card, instead of prefered SB Live :) disabling in BIOS made less problem than Sound settingss:)
[13:12] <GreyGhost> !DiskMounter
[13:12] <fde> pogay: NEVER mix Ubuntu and Debian packages... EVER
[13:12]  * vLaCki need help!

[13:12] <vLaCki> i just installed

[13:13] <fde> !enter
[13:13] <vLaCki> and...
[13:13] <GreyGhost> is there a good gui to manage mount?
[13:13] <wwbwwb> 15min ,just so
[13:13] <vLaCki> i like to have an adsl internet
[13:13] <vLaCki> on ubuntu..
[13:13] <vLaCki> im using a adsl modem
[13:13] <fde> GreyGhost: right click the panel > add to panel  > Disk Mounter
[13:13] <kenkku> vLaCki: read what ubottu said

[13:14] <fde> !wvdial
[13:14] <fde> !pptp
[13:14] <pogay> fde: yes it was en mistake. Now have to remove the packages... but I have also problem removing, i'm looking for the correct cmds and parms.
[13:14] <fde> pogay: what is the error output? throw them up on paste.ubuntu.com
[13:14] <GreyGhost> fde, no i mean .iso and raw image files..
[13:14] <fde> GreyGhost: no
[13:15] <GreyGhost> hmm oki
[13:15]  * GreyGhost goes to read mount docs
[13:15] <pogay> I tryied:   sudo apt-get -f --reinstall install grub-pc grub2
[13:15] <fde> GreyGhost: I don't think such things do mount loops... it's not a standard task really.
[13:15] <pogay> and it was  an dependency error
[13:15] <kenkku> vLaCki: what kind of a modem do you have? how is it connected to the computer?
[13:15] <fde> pogay: paste the output or I will /ignore you.
[13:15] <fde> pogay: to paste.ubuntu.com
[13:16] <pogay> fde: ok, just a second
[13:16] <wwbwwb> eh ,
[13:16]  * fde apologizes, but it's the third time he asked the same thing  >:|
[13:17] <wwbwwb> it means that he really needs help
[13:17] <soundray> wolfeySI: maybe you have to disable the onboard sound in the BIOS setup. Or use System-Preferences-Sound to change the default sound device
[13:17] <cr0w> i don't risolve ..
[13:17] <cr0w> help me..
[13:18] <wwbwwb> please wiki
[13:18] <wwbwwb> first
[13:18] <pogay> fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30543/   it tryed with -f
[13:19] <wolfeySI> soundray: yes i disabled in bios,... i couldnt really understand how to make SB live default
[13:19] <wolfeySI> this 'cheese' is sweet, but it could use some filters
[13:19] <wolfeySI> so gimp ;)
[13:19] <fde> pogay: do 'LOCALE=c sudo apt-get -f --reinstall install grub-pc grub2' so I can understand the output.
[13:20] <cemunal> hi
[13:20] <soundray> wolfeySI: System-Preferences-Sound to change the default sound device
[13:22] <fde> pogay: I'm dumb, sorry: LANG=c  sudo apt-get -f --reinstall install grub-pc grub2
[13:22] <pogay> fde: i tried it, but, ok y Try again
[13:23] <KenBW2> is it possible to make the keyboard layout be detected automatically at boot?
[13:23] <fde> pogay: LOCALE is wrong... I meant LANG... its an environment variable, but it'll only change for that command.
[13:23] <fde> KenBW2: no.
[13:23] <soundray> KenBW2: no
[13:23] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> greetings, is there a "remote-log" package like the console-log one?
[13:23] <soundray> KenBW2: there's no way for the operating system to determine your keyboard layout
[13:24]  * KaZaN here
[13:24] <KenBW2> fde, soundray: i have a persistent USB install and my eeepc and desktop have different layouts. Can i solve the problem?
[13:24]  * AK47 will brb...
[13:24] <rambo3> !locales | KenBW2
[13:25] <fde> KenBW2: You can manually switch them if you add both to System > Administration > Languages
[13:25] <soundray> KenBW2: you can write a script that distinguishes between the machines and sets the keyboard layout accordingly
[13:25] <KenBW2> fde: i dont think my eeepc has a standard layouy
[13:25] <soundray> KenBW2: to run a script at every boot, call it from /etc/rc.local
[13:25] <fde> KenBW2: Or just add both to System > Administration > Keyboard ... either or
[13:25] <soundray> KenBW2: is it a UK one?
[13:25] <KenBW2> soundray: yea
[13:25] <pogay> fde : http://paste.ubuntu.com/30546/
[13:26] <soundray> KenBW2: it's a non-standard physical layout, but the electrical behaviour is identical to a normal UK one, ie. the keycodes are identical
[13:27] <fde> pogay: sudo apt-get remove grub-pc grub2 && sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub2 ....
[13:27] <soundray> s/UK one/UK keyboard/
[13:27] <KenBW2> soundray: when i press "p" it thinks im pressing "*" and it thinks "i" is "5"
[13:27] <soundray> KenBW2: you've got the NumLock on :)
[13:27] <KenBW2> soundray: oh yea, duh!
[13:28] <sgodsell> KenBW2, you could also use xmodmap
[13:28] <fde> pogay: also... dpkg -l libc6 for me... if that version os 2.7, you're in a lot more trouble than it appears.
[13:28] <KenBW2> soundray: it doesnt have LEDs for num caps and scroll lock :(
[13:28] <KenBW2> sgodsell: whats that?
[13:28] <sgodsell> X11 keyboard mapper
[13:28] <fde> is*
[13:28] <soundray> KenBW2: yeah, the Xandros desktop shows the NumLock and Caps status via notification applets. I think there is something equivalent for Ubuntu
[13:29] <KenBW2> soundray: i usually get along fine :)
[13:29] <pogay> fde:  uninstall was o.k. now,  I didn't change someting with libc6
[13:29] <rambo3> fde there is reinstall flag for apt
[13:29]  * AK47 will leave...
[13:29] <AK47> bye ppl
[13:29] <KenBW2> sgodsell: soundray's solution has worked, but thanks anyway :)
[13:29] <fde> rambo3: I understand that... not useful though in this case.
[13:30] <map7> How do I recover my grub, if my grub menu.lst is on /dev/sda7 ?
[13:30] <fde> pogay: I want you to show me the output of dpkg -l libc6 anyway please
[13:30] <plouffe> I tried to install a few games (open arena, flight gear, etc) on hardy (64amd) and they're either ridiculously slow or (as in the case of open arena) crash without any error before even loading. Does anyone have experience with that?
[13:30] <fde> rambo3: basically, he's installed packages from Debian unstable, and expected them to work on Ubuntu
[13:31] <fde> rambo3: different libc6, different package versions etc... messy
[13:31] <soundray> plouffe: what graphics card do you have?
[13:31] <lunaris> fde still here?
[13:31] <fde> lunaris: yes
[13:31] <plouffe> soundray , one sec, have to check
[13:31] <lunaris> fde : after mythtv instalation,I have problems on my windows
[13:32] <fde> lunaris: huh?
[13:32] <Vegombrei> hi .. how do i install google earth ? it gives a bin file and when i double click it says it cant open
[13:32] <soundray> plouffe: 'lspci | grep VGA'

[13:32] <lunaris> fde : I cannot see minimase,maximase and close button
[13:32] <pogay> fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30551/
[13:32] <plouffe> soundray: ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600
[13:32] <anhhung> hi
[13:33] <soundray> Vegombrei: don't use the bin. It's easier to install the version provided by medibuntu.
[13:33] <soundray> !medibuntu | Vegombrei
[13:33] <anhhung> I downloaded the bitdefender package in .deb.run form, how do I install the software?
[13:33] <fde> lunaris: hmm... right click desktop > desktop effects ... turn compiz on and off (or off and on...)
[13:33] <plouffe> soundray: ATI Technologies Inc M76 [Radeon Mobility HD 2600 Series]
[13:33] <lunaris> fde : I had that problem before with kubuntu...and I cannot open mythtv...It's searching for some servers
[13:33] <plouffe> the latter is from lspci
[13:33] <fde> pogay: alright cool... how you even got that installed then is beyond me
[13:33] <soundray> plouffe: are you using the ATI proprietary driver? You can install it via System-Administration-Hardware Drivers
[13:33] <fde> lunaris: read the docs  :/ your machine is the server
[13:33] <pogay> fde: thanks al lot!
[13:34] <lunaris> fde : is there any command for turning compiz off?
[13:34] <kane77> does anyone know where I might find package for VegaStrike 0.5?
[13:34] <lunaris> fde : because there is no that option here ... compiz are in advanced settings manager
[13:34] <plouffe> soundray: it says ATI accelerated graphics driver not in use. So I should use that?
[13:34] <fde> lunaris: pkill -9 compiz.bin I think? idk, I don't use it
[13:34] <unop> Vegombrei, google has a ubuntu repository
[13:34] <troppix> heya
[13:34] <soundray> plouffe: yes (unless you have reservations about using software that isn't free/open source)
[13:34] <fde> lunaris: visual effects > none
[13:35] <troppix> fuck you^
[13:35] <jucamo> skype for 64 bit processor?
[13:35] <unop> fde, never kill -9 # that's almost never ever necessary
[13:35] <plouffe> soundray: Thanks and no in this case I don't
[13:35] <kane77> lunaris, metacity --replace should do
[13:35] <soundray> plouffe: after that it's easiest to log out or reboot, then you can test your games again
[13:35] <fde> unop: Umm, it's frequently necessary...
[13:35] <kane77> unop, sometimes it is ;)
[13:35] <kane77> unop, not in this case though
[13:36] <plouffe> soundray: Thx a lot. Doing it now.
[13:36] <unop> fde, kane77 if ever you find it necessary to use kill -9 ## replace the binary that is acting up, it wasn't written well
[13:36] <fde> unop: Unless you like things respawning all over the place I suppose.
[13:36] <unop> fde, use the appropriate signal.  SIGHUP to stop that
[13:37] <pogay> fde. unfortunatly in 7.10 grub2 is uncomplete, grub-emu is missing, and doku. But I' won't play again with my running system
[13:37] <fde> unop: I'm not recompiling a functional app because it won't die cleanly 100% of the time  :/
[13:37] <fde> unop: kill -HUP is rarely enough  :/
[13:37] <lunaris> kane77 : where should I type metacity --replace?
[13:37] <fde> unop: I never understand this issue... been using linux for 10 years... -9 has NEVER caused an issue.
[13:38] <lunaris> meta
[13:38] <kane77> lunaris, terminal, or even better press alt+f2 and type it there..
[13:38] <unop> fde, kill -9 does worse, it doesn't let the process's children know it is going down, all open file descriptors are uncleaned, the process may be in the middle of a system call  and you have just left something hanging -- it's not pretty
[13:39] <fde> unop: Ok... but compiz.bin has no children generally... you shouldn't assume people are randomly blurting things out  ;)
[13:39] <malpheus> hello
[13:39] <lunaris> kane77 : Failed to execute child process "metacity" (No such file or directory)
[13:39] <pogay> unop:  I thought if a parent prcess is killed, automatically children too
[13:39] <unop> fde, no -- please.  kill -9 was totally unwarranted there
[13:40] <unop> pogay, not with a SIGKILL, no
[13:40] <pogay> unop: ok, thanks for info
[13:40] <fde> unop: As I said, I've argued with compiz enough to not bother with a regular kill... it always respawns!
[13:40] <malpheus> i have a question about nice values being automatically set to certain processes...
[13:40] <lunaris> kane77 any idea?
[13:41] <soundray> malpheus: go on
[13:41] <malpheus> does anyone have the problem of file roller hogging their cpu time?
[13:42] <malpheus> rar is started as uninterruptable, and i have to always manually lower its priority
[13:42] <lunaris> kane77 :  I have done that in alt+F2 and checked run in terminal mode
[13:42] <Vegombrei> soundray: i added medibuntu to my repository successfully .. now all i do is apt get google earth ?
[13:42] <kane77> lunaris, what window manager are you using?
[13:42] <soundray> Vegombrei: the package name is different -- googleearth I think
[13:43] <soundray> Vegombrei: confirmed -- all one word
[13:43] <malpheus> i wanted to find a way to have rar be called by default as non-interruptable by file roller
[13:43] <XTron> Is there a way to perform something through sudo through gnome's gui or is sudo limited to the terminal only?
[13:43] <Vegombrei> soundray: ok lemme try
[13:43] <soundray> Vegombrei: 'sudo apt-get install googleearth'
[13:43] <malpheus> its hard to do anything when a couple of things are extracting...
[13:43] <fde> XTron: it is not recommended, use gksudo instead
[13:44] <malpheus> anyone have any idea what im talking about?
[13:44] <Vegombrei> soundray: its downloading .. its like 68 mb so i guess its gonna be a while
[13:44] <ichbinesderelch> bout bananas?
[13:44] <fract^wizz> Hey people :) Im having some problems with connecting my phone =/ Ehm, when i copy music to it, i cant find it on my phone :S Help ?
 noo
[13:44] <malpheus> :~(
[13:44] <soundray> malpheus: I think you'd have to change fileroller's source to influence that behaviour. How about extracting your rar files on the commandline instead?
[13:45] <fde> malpheus: I mainly stick to tar's and gzip... they are usually extracted almost immediately, although I dont' deal with large archives really.
[13:45] <lunaris> kane77 :  I have done that in alt+F2 and checked otpion run in terminal mode
[13:45] <kane77> XTron, there is gksudo which should be using for running gui apps as root
[13:45] <map7> I've just updated my kernel and my machine doesn't boot with the new kernel is there a way to revert back to the old kernel?
[13:45] <fde> malpheus: What version of rar do you have?
[13:45] <XTron> fde: so there isn't any way I can get gnome to prompt for the sudo password to perform an operation if my regular user doesn't have the permissions?
[13:45] <Baby_Shambl3s> if i add a different repository do i have to do something extra so the system wont crash?
 sorry :) don't cry you make me feel sad
[13:45] <fde> map7: It won't have deleted... just hit esc when prompted at startup
[13:45] <soundray> map7: select the old kernel from the grub menu at boot. You may have to hit Esc to see the grub menu
[13:46] <fde> XTron: uhh... that is the point of gksudo
[13:46] <malpheus> soundray, fde: i guess i have to change the fileroller's source for it work properly as a multi-tasking app... they should make it more configurable
[13:46] <fde> malpheus: What version of rar is installed?
[13:46] <map7> yeah i've done the ESC and booted on the old kernel but should I just edit my menu.lst or remove the new kernel?
[13:46] <fde> map7: You can, or change the default value
[13:46] <malpheus> fde: RAR 3.71   Copyright (c) 1993-2007 Alexander Roshal   20 Sep 2007
[13:47] <soundray> malpheus: I'm merely speculating. I haven't used fileroller, it's entirely possible that I'm wrong and that it is configurable
[13:47] <lunaris> fde : what do I need for database configuration on myth?
[13:47] <soundray> malpheus: if not, feel free to file a wishlist bug
[13:47] <pogay> I have a mirror installation (on my not with grub legacy bootable USB-Disk).  How is it possible to chroot an open X-Terms?
[13:47] <fract^wizz> Anyone that connect there phone to their computer under ubuntu ? Need hel with file-transfering.
[13:47] <XTron> fde: right.  i'm looking for something that is entirely GUI driven, which gksudo doesn't really provide
[13:47] <fde> malpheus: unrar or unrar-free ?
 vya blueetooth ?
[13:48] <fde> XTron: how doesn't it?
[13:48] <malpheus> fde: i prefer the official rar archiver
[13:48] <pogay> can anyone suggest a bootmanger for a USB-Drive, with several partitons?
[13:48] <fract^wizz> Sansen_, No, via SEcable.
[13:48] <soundray> Sansen_: I thought he meant by acoustic coupling
[13:48] <malpheus> fde: actually i even prefer winrar, i use it through wine
[13:48] <Sansen_> oops
[13:48] <malpheus> fde: its better for broken archives anyway
[13:48] <fde> malpheus: Then you should talk to the people that wrote it.
[13:49] <malpheus> fde: i have the same problem with zip through file roller
[13:49] <soundray> fract^wizz: you have one of these acoustic modems, which you connect to a regular telephone receiver?
[13:49] <lunaris> fde : what do I need for database configuration on myth?
[13:49] <XTron> fde: to clarify, tell me how you access gksudo.  probably alt+f2 and then type in gksudo <app name> right?
[13:49] <fde> lunaris: it should have installed everything it needs.
[13:50] <malpheus> fde: thats from what i last remember tho, maybe it is just a rar thing
[13:50] <fde> XTron: yes... or via terminal, however you'd like
[13:50] <HTMLCODER> hi all
[13:50] <lunaris> fde : it's not as I can see
[13:50] <fract^wizz> soundray, What ? :S
[13:50] <fde> malpheus: I don't use rar files... here file-roller is fast with zip files...
[13:50] <lunaris> fde : It's searching for some database or something over the net
[13:50] <soundray> fract^wizz: please rephrase your original question, provide some more detail
[13:51] <fde> lunaris: try #mythtv
[13:51] <XTron> right, i'm looking for something that allows one of two things: something like a right click > execute through sudo > prompt for password or if the action you're attempting requires su, it simply prompts for password instead of saying permission denied
[13:52] <fract^wizz> soundray, Sorry that i was a bit unclear, i have a SE K750 and i have major problems with file-transfers, when i copy music to it, its like it isnt there, i cant see it on the phone.
[13:52] <malpheus> fde: i could fix it by configuring in file roller for it to start rar on a higher nice value, but its not possible from what i can see... i was thinking there could be some type of gnome solution through the process manager or something to auto set rar to a high nice value?
[13:52] <kane77> fract^wizz, make sure you unmount it before you unplug it..
[13:53] <fde> malpheus: My suggestion is "avoid rar files" ... other than that, you'll need to talk to someone else.
[13:53] <fract^wizz> kane77, I do, it wont work anyway =/
[13:53] <malpheus> i havent seen anything yet for linux which auto changes nice values by monitoring active processes
[13:53] <soundray> fract^wizz: oh, it's a mobile phone. Does it show up as a mass storage device?
[13:53] <kane77> fract^wizz, well that is strange.. I have SE k530i and it works well..
[13:54] <fde> malpheus: just to confirm, you have 'rar' and 'unrar' installed? from the ubuntu archive? if not, try the ubuntu versions of these packages... hard to argue that you prefer something that causes such issues.
[13:54] <kane77> malpheus, I wrote myself a script for that..
[13:54] <fract^wizz> soundray, Yes it is, it shows up as "PHONE CARD"
[13:54] <new-at-ubuntu> any help
[13:54] <fract^wizz> kane77, Okay, hmm, i must be doing something wrong =/
[13:54] <fde> new-at-ubuntu: ask the question if you'd like help
[13:54] <soundray> fract^wizz: is that an SD card or similar that's slotted into the mobile phone?
[13:55] <malpheus> kane77: do you have a link to your script?
[13:55] <unop> malpheus, you could write a nautilus script that puts your rar file through rar at a lower nice value
[13:55] <fde> malpheus: just change the execution command to 'gksudo whatever-app' ...
[13:55] <malpheus> fde: yes i will experiment with a different unrar
[13:55] <fract^wizz> soundray, Yeah, exactly :)
[13:55] <fde> malpheus: sorry, that was intended for XTron
[13:56] <kane77> malpheus, well I guess it wont do you any good.. it's very limited so far (I hardcoded all the stuff in there..)
[13:56] <malpheus> unop: yeah i got nautilus-actions today, might give that a go if it comes down to it
[13:56] <soundray> fract^wizz: and that card isn't set to be read-only by any chance? Some of them have a tiny slider switch that effects that behaviour
[13:56] <malpheus> kane77: no problem kane :)
[13:57] <malpheus> thanks for the help guys
[13:57] <lunaris> mythtv channel is dead:)
[13:57] <malpheus> hey on another topic, i was thinking about an idea lately
[13:57] <fract^wizz> soundray, Nope, its not read-only, you can write the file to the phone, and its there, bu then when you look on the phone and try to find the file, you cant find it :S Its like its gone.
[13:58] <soundray> fract^wizz: when you reconnect to the computer, is it still there?
[13:58] <malpheus> is there anything currently available which you can develop gnome apps with which can have their gui's edited and actions changed?
[13:58] <fract^wizz> hm, i wil check :)
[13:58] <fract^wizz> soundray, I will check that, wait one sec
[13:58] <malpheus> it would be a nice type of platform for apps, it would make everything so much more open, but i dunno im kinda dreaming haha
[13:59] <unop> malpheus, zenity perhaps
[13:59] <Vegombrei> hi is there a way to download google earth data ?
[13:59] <soundray> malpheus: a bit offtopic as well. #ubuntu-devel ?
[13:59] <kane77> malpheus, you mean changing the actions of existing apps?
[13:59] <sharperguy> How do I get back to a program which I used ctrl+z on?
[14:00] <soundray> Vegombrei: googleearth downloads its data automatically
[14:00] <hiptobecubic> Vegombrei, google earth does a pretty good job of it
[14:00] <soundray> sharperguy: with fg
[14:00] <kane77> sharperguy, fg
[14:00] <malpheus> soundray: yeah, i should talk about it in that chan
[14:00] <soundray> sharperguy: (short for foreground)
[14:00] <sharperguy> thanks
[14:00] <hiptobecubic> soundray, was is fg?
[14:01] <null_byte> hello.. I donwloaded the last ubuntu cd from the official website, some hours ago, and I try to install nvidia... restricted drivers manager isnt ANYWHERE... any help please?
[14:01] <hiptobecubic> what*
[14:01] <soundray> Vegombrei: do you mean store for offline use?
[14:01] <malpheus> kane77: yeah thats what i mean
[14:01] <soundray> hiptobecubic: a shell built-in that brings a backgrounded program to the foreground
[14:01] <soundray> null_byte: 'gksudo jockey-gtk'
[14:02] <null_byte> ok wait soundray
[14:02] <kane77> do you think it's ok to use debian packages for vegastrike? I need it badly and I don't feel like compiling :D
[14:02] <hiptobecubic> soundray, oh wow, you can... sort of stack terminals? i've been using tabs this whole time
[14:02] <null_byte> what the... soundray it tells me No proprietary drivers are in use.
[14:02] <null_byte> what the hell?
[14:03] <fract^wizz> soundray, Now it suddenly works ! :) Thanks for your help!
[14:03] <soundray> null_byte: no swearing please
[14:03] <hiptobecubic> !OHMY
[14:03] <scroogey> hello
[14:03] <null_byte> okay sorry
[14:03] <scroogey> i have trouble with using Ubuntu together with GIT
[14:03] <scroogey> GIT terrible slow
[14:03] <scroogey> how can i fix this?
[14:03] <malpheus> unop: i looked at zenity, maybe i should be looking at something like python gui controls
[14:04] <Vegombrei> soundray: yes
[14:05] <soundray> null_byte: have you got Proprietary Drivers... ticked in System-Administration-Software Sources ?
[14:05] <riegersn> at work on our windows boxes i can connect to another pc\shared with \\pcname\path    -    can i do this in ubuntu?
[14:05] <null_byte> soundray, i clicked there... now what to do there?
[14:05] <soundray> Vegombrei: I don't think googleearth is designed to be used offline
[14:05] <hiptobecubic> what's the shortest example of a neverending loop in bash? something like while 1; do echo blah; done
[14:05] <eross> is there a link to install mythtv on hardy?
[14:06] <eross> !mythtv
[14:06] <soundray> null_byte: close the dialog, let it reload the package sources list, then restart gksudo jockey-gtk
[14:06] <hiptobecubic> gotta love the bot
[14:06] <eross> yep
[14:06] <null_byte> ok w8
[14:06] <unop> hiptobecubic, while true ...
[14:06] <hiptobecubic> unop, thanks
[14:06] <eross> no hardy instructions on that page
[14:07] <null_byte> same :|
[14:07] <soundray> eross: use the gutsy instructions, it'll be fine
[14:07] <null_byte> i have nvidia gt 7300
[14:08] <hiptobecubic> how are there still no hardy instructions? hasn't it been a few months already
[14:08] <wwbwwb> f1
[14:10] <soundray> hiptobecubic: well, no one's written them. Feel free to volunteer -- it's a community-supported package
[14:11] <hiptobecubic> soundray, if i knew anything about it i'd be happy to :)
[14:11] <null_byte> soundray: i must mention is installed on VirtualBox from Sun. could it be something else?
[14:12] <soundray> null_byte: arrgh
[14:12] <null_byte> ?
[14:12] <soundray> null_byte: VirtualBox doesn't pass graphics hardware to guest OSs.
[14:12] <null_byte> omfg..
[14:12] <null_byte> what emulator does it?
[14:12] <soundray> null_byte: I told you not to swear in this channel
[14:12] <null_byte> sorry
[14:13] <null_byte> soundray: anything else except vmware?
[14:13] <soundray> null_byte: that's the second time you're 'sorry'
[14:13] <null_byte> wont happen
[14:13] <null_byte> i promise
[14:13] <firsm> Hi, I installed ubuntu hardy using debootstrap, but now I'm unable to find the alsa modules, anyone know what package those are in?
[14:13] <soundray> !virtualization | null_byte
[14:13] <null_byte> !kvm
[14:13] <soundray> null_byte: none of them support graphics acceleration particularly well
[14:14] <null_byte> soundray: i have a windows xp box :| i want to emulate ubuntu
[14:14] <malpheus> lol
[14:14] <harpreet> null_byte: ??
[14:14] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> greetings whats the file where i set my language in called?
[14:14] <malpheus> null_byte: sounds like cygwin?
[14:15] <null_byte> but i dont want cygwin...
[14:15] <soundray> null_byte: that's fine, but you can't have graphics acceleration (beyond what vmware is capable of)
[14:15] <null_byte> oh ok
[14:15] <smellynoser> I need to change my default route - How do I do that?
[14:15] <smellynoser> route del default ; route add default eth0 ?
[14:15] <kane77> null_byte, well what is stopping you?
[14:15] <harpreet> null_byte: you can install it within xp
[14:15] <firsm> smellynoser: gateway in /etc/network/interfaces
[14:15] <null_byte> i know, but i like ubuntu the best
[14:15] <smellynoser> firsm: Thankyou
[14:15] <hiptobecubic> why don't you just dual boot?
[14:15] <harpreet> null_byte:  then have it, lol
[14:15] <soundray> null_byte: dualboot then
[14:15] <null_byte> ok..thanks all
[14:16] <harpreet> null_byte: haha
[14:16] <firsm> smellynoser: if you want it to do with route then it's, route del -net default gw 192.... && route add -net default gw 192.168.5.5
[14:17] <smellynoser> firsm: I still keep getting: "No route to host" type messages
[14:18] <firsm> smellynoser: what host are you trying to reach?
[14:18] <smellynoser> firsm: ftp.heanet.ie
[14:18] <smellynoser> firsm: It's a VPN server, and when I connect my client the logs of the VPN server say: "no route to host"
[14:19] <firsm> smellynoser: so the vpn server doesn't know how to route to your machine at home?
[14:19] <smellynoser> firsm: Or ftp.heanet.ie, yes
[14:19] <smellynoser> firsm: It gets the correct IP for ftp.heanet.ie, but just doesn't know how to connect to it I believe
[14:20] <firsm> smellynoser: then it'd say connection refused or something like that
[14:21] <smellynoser> firsm: My route list has two default routes now that I restarted networking
[14:22] <firsm> smellynoser: be careful chaning routes on that sever :-)
[14:22] <Lynet> smellynoser: Two default gateways is usually trouble.
[14:22] <firsm> you can set a single route to that server too
[14:22] <smellynoser> firsm: It's a virtual machine, so if I mess up the networking I can still get in (luckily) :D
[14:22] <fyrestrtr> do you have more than one network device? If so, then two default gateways is normal.
[14:23] <firsm> route add -host ip(ftp.hae...) gw 192.168.x.x
[14:23] <smellynoser> I have 5(or 4) network interfaces, and 2 network devices I believe
[14:23] <Lynet> smellynoser: Could you write up your network config/design and pastebin it?
[14:23] <fyrestrtr> smellynoser: how many actual network interfaces, not virtual ones for your VMs.
[14:23] <exetoc> Does anyone know anything about input delay in some games? here's my post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=870822
[14:24] <smellynoser> eth4 for internal network, eth5 for external network, lo and tap0 (which hasn't been given an ip) and I'm supposed to have br0 to connect to the VM server
[14:24] <eross> how do i find out what type of tv card I have?
[14:24] <smellynoser> lspci? lsusb?
[14:24] <smellynoser> dmesg | grep tv -i ?
[14:24] <fyrestrtr> eross: look at the box.
[14:25] <firsm> smellynoser: bridge setups are always a little complex, make sure the network interface br0 is bridged to (ethx) doesn't have an ip at all. Instead, give that ip to the bridge
[14:25] <eross> it's a hp media center xp
[14:25] <eross> m7640n
[14:25] <Lynet> eross: Many ways. Google it, check manufacturer website, boot a linux live-cd and lspci.
[14:25] <firsm> smellynoser: however, just logging into the vpn server should work without a bridge - so, can you reach your home host from inside your vpn VM?
[14:26] <eross> 03:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
[14:26] <eross>   ?
[14:26] <Lynet> eross: Or even open the case and look at the card.
[14:26] <hiptobecubic> or look on the internet for your computer model
[14:27] <smellynoser> firsm: I can't ping my domain, so the ftp.heanet.ie IP is probably cached locally?
[14:28] <Lynet> eross: That card is probably supported by the ivtv driver.
[14:28] <firsm> smellynoser: mmh, you're confusing me. :-) Can you reach the host you are trying to connect to the vpn server from the vpn server?
[14:28] <smellynoser> Now I've lost connection lol
[14:28] <zendo> Hello. Can someone please tell me, on which channel can I ask about gaming in ubuntu?
[14:28] <firsm> ssh timeout, haha :p
[14:29] <firsm> zendo: My guess is #ubuntu-gaming
[14:29] <Mr_Bad_News> somebody i need serious help this is an emergency
[14:29] <Tm_T> !helpme | Mr_Bad_News
[14:29] <Mr_Bad_News> i updated my system and now i cant boot
[14:29] <smellynoser> firsm: No I can't :( I can't ping my machine, or ssh
[14:29] <Mr_Bad_News> im on the live cd
[14:29] <ruffus_43> hi
[14:29] <Lynet> eross: My guess is that it is a hauppauge pvr150 or 500.
[14:30] <firsm> smellynoser: I guess you neet to fix the routing on your vpn server then
[14:30] <fyrestrtr> smellynoser: tracepath from the vpn to your client.
[14:30] <plouffe> some apps won't work if pulseaudio is running, some won't work if pulseaudio is NOT running, and some apps won't work if another app is using pulseaudio. Is there a solution to this, and what is the proper way to stop and restart pulseaudio as a workaround?
[14:30] <smellynoser> ssh: connect to host 192.168.100.143 port 22: Connection timed out <-- I've broke internal networking now lol :) Networking is fun :)
[14:30] <fyrestrtr> plouffe: what apps?
[14:30] <plouffe> ekiga, flash plugin flight gear for example
[14:30] <Mr_Bad_News> can someone who is really experienced help me
[14:30] <fyrestrtr> smellynoser: just means your default gateway for that network is not set correctly.
[14:31] <plouffe> ekiga will not open audio if pulseaudio is running
[14:31] <firsm> plouffe: My workaround was to remove pulseaudio completely and and tell all the apps to use alsa
[14:31] <fyrestrtr> plouffe: what firsm said
[14:31] <firsm> smellynoser: just restart that vm :-)
[14:31] <user01> my x login screen is way too big so that I cannot see the options when logging in, after i log in resolution is fine
[14:31] <plouffe> How do I do that? It looks as if flight gear won't run without pulseaudio running as it is.
[14:31] <Mr_Bad_News> i updated my sytem and at the boot i had four options generic 15 and generic 14 and neither would let me they just said no image available
[14:31] <user01> how do i change it?
[14:32] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: how much free space do you have on your disk?
[14:32] <Mr_Bad_News> idk i think like 40gigs
[14:32] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: you are on livecd right now?
[14:32] <plouffe> firsm: fyrestrtr how did you disable pulseaudio? Is there a guide?
[14:32] <Mr_Bad_News> yes
[14:33] <big-g> does anyone here know about IBM db2?
[14:33] <fyrestrtr> big-g: what about it?
[14:33] <user01> its like my screen changes resolution when the x login screen comes up
[14:33] <firsm> plouffe: I just removed it using apt-get. flightgears uses openal - see http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Linux_software_audio_mixing_with_FlightGear
[14:33] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: do you know how to chroot?
[14:33] <Mr_Bad_News> last night i updated linux-init.generic.2.15 or whats it called and now i have nothing
[14:33] <user01> and then back to normal when i login
[14:33] <big-g> fyrestrtr: do you know about hadr?
[14:33] <Mr_Bad_News> no fyrestrtr
[14:33] <plouffe> !pulseaudio > plouffe
[14:33] <Mr_Bad_News> to both
[14:33] <plouffe> firsm thanks
[14:34] <fyrestrtr> big-g: not much.
[14:34] <hiptobecubic> sudo mv /usr/share/pixmaps/{mupen64_ico.png,mupen64plus.png} what's wrong with that syntax?
[14:34] <fyrestrtr> big-g: apart from what it is and what's involved in configuring it.
[14:34] <plouffe> firsm you said you told all applications to use alsa. Is there an easy way to do this?
[14:35] <Mr_Bad_News> what do i do fyrestrtr
[14:35] <big-g> fyrestrtr: i rebooted some databases and disconnected the hadr. but i forgot to stop the hadr. i did do a db2stop command so i'm hopeing that would stop hadr. what do you think?
[14:36] <|Adrian|> buenas
[14:36] <firsm> plouffe: probably not because apps don't use the same libraries (openal) for example, so you have to tell it to each app individually
[14:36] <plouffe> firsm thanks
[14:36] <fyrestrtr> big-g: afaik, you need to issue the stop command for hadr.
[14:36] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: okay open a terminal.
[14:36] <Lusule> hi there :)  i'm trying to delete a panel but for some reason 'delete this panel' is greyed out - any ideas why this is?
[14:36] <Mr_Bad_News> k
[14:37] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: do you know what disk your main system is on?
[14:37] <big-g> fyrestrtr: wow... when i brought the databases back up i manually started the hadr command with no problems. do you think there could be anything wrong?
[14:37] <fyrestrtr> Lusule: no clue.
[14:37] <Mr_Bad_News> its a laptop theres only one hd0 fyrestrtr
[14:37] <zendo> Why is doom3 running very slow on my machine (amd 3000+, 2 GB ram, nvidia 128 mb...) with ubuntu 8.04?
[14:37] <Lusule> fyrestrtr, ><  is there another way to delete it than right clicking and choosing 'delete this panel'?
[14:38] <newbe1> do u need a virus scanner running in ubuntu
[14:38] <Mr_Bad_News> as for chrooting im not certain on the syntax but i kknow i can mount my harddrive
[14:38] <fyrestrtr> big-g: not sure -- I don't think so.
[14:38] <Lusule> fyrestrtr, i think i've closed it without doing major harm through sessions
[14:38] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: okay, type fdisk -l /dev/sda and tell me what you see ( do not copy and paste it here )
[14:39] <Mr_Bad_News> its hda fyrestrtr
[14:39] <user01> i think it get screwed up when i tried to run the nvidia driver, but i went back to nv
[14:39] <fyrestrtr> Lusule: well, I haven't tried this -- but you should be able to get rid of it by editing the configuration file.
[14:39] <RickX> can anyone tell me how to remove items from the Debian menu?
[14:39] <snarkster> good morning
[14:39] <big-g> fyrestrtr: it wouldn't be possible that there would be 2 instances of hadr running at the same time do you? i did a db2 snapshot and everything seemed to look ok.
[14:39] <Mr_Bad_News> /dev/hda1   *           1        9399    75497436   83  Linux
[14:39] <Mr_Bad_News> /dev/hda1   *           1        9399    75497436   83  Linux

[14:40] <Mr_Bad_News> thats what i get fyrestrtr
[14:40] <fyrestrtr> big-g: no definately not. That much I can tell you from goofing it up on my test db :)
[14:40] <big-g> fyrestrtr: thanx!
[14:40] <Mr_Bad_News> along with /dev/hda2 and hda5
[14:40] <newbe1> do u need a virus scanner running in ubuntu
[14:40] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: is this a dual boot machine?
[14:40] <Mr_Bad_News> no
[14:40] <fyrestrtr> newbe1: not necessarily.
[14:40] <RickX> snarkster, I'm using Windowmaker, at the moment, not Metacity, and not using the Gnome panel.
[14:40] <snarkster> newbe1 no not really depends are you running an email server
[14:40] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: you have 5 partitions on this machine?
[14:40] <Mr_Bad_News> hda2 is extended /hda5 is swap
[14:40] <moreau> if I select 'none' for what visual effects I want running, is that the same as disabling compiz?
[14:41] <Mr_Bad_News> no just 3
[14:41] <Mr_Bad_News> hda1, 2, 5
[14:41] <Vegombrei> hi is there a software like download accelerator for ubuntu ?
[14:41] <snarkster> rickx wow havent run windowmaker in like 10 years
[14:41] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: do you have a separate boot?
[14:41] <newbe1> snarkster  no e mail server
[14:41] <Mr_Bad_News> no
[14:41] <fyrestrtr> moreau: yes.
[14:41] <RickX> snarkster, people are still running it :-)
[14:41] <moreau> thanks
[14:41] <snarkster> newbe1 then you dont really need a antivirus package then
[14:41] <Mr_Bad_News> 1 is linux 83 hda2 is extended 5 hda5 is swap 82
[14:41] <snarkster> rickx Im glad to see that..
[14:42] <newbe1> snarkster  thanks
[14:42] <snarkster> rickx I feel that windowmaker is like a ahrley davidson, to much maintenance
[14:42] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: okay, now I want you to try this.
[14:42] <smellynoser> sudo reboot?
[14:42] <RickX> snarkster, not really, not after it is set up, especailly after xdg menus came on the scene...
[14:43] <smellynoser> Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/netkit-telnet/telnet_0.17-34_amd64.deb  Could not connect to ftp.heanet.ie:21 (193.1.193.64). - connect (113 No route to host)

[14:56] <AzizLight> is there a way to check, send and receive email from my gmail account using the command line?
[14:56] <snarkster> i configured gmail for evolution.. very nice
[14:56] <fyrestrtr> ipccess: you mount them using 'mount'
[14:56] <ryknow> Whats the easiest way to install wine on xubuntu?
[14:56] <smellynoser> apt-get install wine ?
[14:56] <snarkster> lol
[14:56] <fyrestrtr> AzizLight: use a mail client like mutt
[14:56] <sirjoebob> ryknow sudo apt-get install wine
[14:56] <snarkster> isnt that the easiest way to install any software??
[14:56] <ryknow> thank you.
[14:56] <Mr_Bad_News> fyrestrtr:  http://pastebin.com/m1baa2460
[14:57] <Mr_Bad_News> any idea?
[14:57] <sirjoebob> ryknow or use synaptic
[14:57] <zoozoo> fyrestrtr SERVER 192.168.21#53(192.168.2.1)
[14:57] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: restart your machine without the CD and let me see what it does.
[14:57] <AzizLight> fyrestrtr: ok thanx, I will check that out
[14:57] <unop> smellynoser, route del  192.168.100.0 gw 0.0.0.0  # perhaps ?
[14:57] <ipccess> fyrestrtr: how? by using my ip to the shared hdd?
[14:57] <qt-1> sudo apt-get install wine
[14:57] <fyrestrtr> zoozoo: your DNS is bad, change your DNS to a global DNS server, probably your router or whatever is giving your DNS service is not responding correctly.
[14:57] <Mr_Bad_News> how fyrestrtr ? i dont have any commands and it doesnt boot
[14:57] <unop> AzizLight, fetchmail perhaps
[14:58] <zoozoo> fyrestrtr, how exactly do i go about doing that?
[14:58] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Bad_News: if it doesn't boot, note the error and then come back on the livecd and tell me.
[14:58] <Mr_Bad_News> k
[14:58] <Mr_Bad_News> brb
[14:58] <snarkster> that was interesting.. just got a pm about irc idol
[14:58] <sirjoebob> zoozoo... you could hard reset your router
[14:58] <fyrestrtr> zoozoo: System > Administration > Network
[14:58] <fyrestrtr> zoozoo: click 'Unlock', then click on the DNS tab.
[14:59] <smellynoser> Or you could be a man and do "sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf"
[14:59] <zoozoo> fyrestrtr, am there now yea, how do i create a global one?
[14:59] <fyrestrtr> zoozoo: the 'easy' way to do it, is to type gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf and just add a line at the top of that file nameserver 4.2.2.2 and then after that nameserver 4.2.2.3, save the file.
[15:00] <zoozoo> fyrestrtr...thats the easy way!?
[15:00] <fyrestrtr> zoozoo: global one? There is only one file -- called /etc/resolv.conf that controls resolvers.
[15:00] <smellynoser> lol
[15:00] <AzizLight> unop: thanks, I will look into that too
[15:00] <stmartin> hi!
[15:00] <fyrestrtr> zoozoo: you could do the 'l33t' thing and edit your DHCP options to automatically add that DNS server before all others that your server sends you ;)
[15:00] <Adondai> I'm loving ubuntu, but is there any kind of subsititute for the Vista-style integrated search? I really miss it whilst navigating aroundd
[15:00] <fyrestrtr> zoozoo: but that's just for extra cookie points.
[15:00] <unop> fyrestrtr, that's probably overwritten the next time he brings the interface up with dhclient
[15:01] <newbe1> smellynoser   what
[15:01] <fyrestrtr> Adondai: download google desktop.
[15:01] <fyrestrtr> unop: there are ways around that ;)
[15:01] <stmartin> I have problem with my DNS servers
[15:01] <stmartin> how to fix this?
[15:01] <fyrestrtr> stmartin: get new DNS servers.
[15:01] <snarkster> hell there is one built in. its in the panel
[15:01] <unop> fyrestrtr, right .. might as well address those now -- which is what i was getting at :)
[15:01] <fyrestrtr> Adondai: you can also just type and nautilus will search in the current location.
[15:01] <zoozoo> fyrestrtr...you lost me back there, i got as far as getting onto the dns tab...then had no clue what you said
[15:02] <|Dreams|> can someone help me please amsn doesnt remember my login detials or what plugins i load so i have to do this everytime i start amsn
[15:02] <fyrestrtr> zoozoo: just double click on the numbers there, and then type 4.2.2.2 and hit enter.
[15:02] <snarkster> yah i just got the bra mesage.. wth
[15:02] <smellynoser> lol
[15:02] <zoozoo> fyrestrtr, it a bad thing there are 3 setsof numbers there?
[15:02] <snarkster> |dreams| use pidgin
[15:02] <fyrestrtr> |Dreams|: check if its a known bug in launchpad, as its related to amsn and not ubuntu specifically.
[15:02] <fyrestrtr> zoozoo: no, that's quite normal.
[15:02] <unop> Adondai, something like this??  http://netinho.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/installing-heidisql-on-kubuntu804-kde4-06.jpg
[15:02] <|Dreams|> okie dokie
[15:02] <fyrestrtr> zoozoo: the one at the top gets priority.
[15:03]  * fyrestrtr has 7 dns servers listed.
[15:03] <Lynet> stmartin: What doesn't work? "How to fix my dns?" is about as useful as "My car doesn't work, how do I fix?" in #car-mechanics.

[15:06] <snarkster> gotta love the block function in pidgin
[15:06] <SeveredCross> So, if in /etc/exports, you have /home/joe as the folder's exported name, it'd be server:/home/joe
[15:06] <ipccess> fyrestrtr: you see hhee the NFS drive is up and running ip 192.168.0.196, I just dont know how to mount it
[15:06] <aozturk> fyrestrtr: I' ve tried two tools (LdapMigration, migrationtools of padl)
[15:07] <user01> when i login to gnome the resolution is fine, the problem is that the login screen is at some whacked resolution . . . how do i fix it?

[15:20] <sarah_bear> hey guys, what is the best way to upgrade ubuntu gusty to hardy haron?
[15:21] <SeveredCross> sarah_bear: Use the Update Manager, it should ovffer the option to upgrade.
[15:21] <mobilephone2003> hmm i've tried most i just dont seem to get anywhere
[15:21] <user01> SeveredCross, is it very clean?  i prefer to just start from scratch
[15:21] <fyrestrtr> mr_bad_new1: type this -- mkdir foo && mount -t auto /dev/hda1 foo && chroot foo
[15:21] <smellynoser> sarah_bear: I would personally nano /etc/apt/sources.list and replace gutsy for hardy, then do apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade but I'm not sure if you're supposed to do that
[15:21] <SeveredCross> user01: It shouldn't really have too much difference.
[15:21] <fyrestrtr> mr_bad_new1: then type this: cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
[15:21] <mobilephone2003> i click record in istanbul then it changes to a stop icon, then i click that and nothing happens o.O
[15:21] <bazhang> sarah_bear, that works too
[15:21] <SeveredCross> smellynoser: That's actually not recommended, for some reason I can't remember right now.
[15:21] <user01> SeveredCross, I had several issues upgrading from previous versions
[15:22] <copyofjohan> hi, im using a swapfile on my hardy. When activating the swapfile the hibernatebutton in gnome vanishes. Even when giving the resume= resume_offset= kernel options. Anyone knows what the problem is. Btw I dont understand why there is a hibernatebutton without an activated swapspace.

[15:23] <Jangari> I'm having some issues getting a parallel desktop going with a new 21" acer monitor on my laptop; every time I set the monitor resolution to have my default monitor to the left of my larger one, it reverts back to have them both overlap again, which is irritating. Any forum guides on this?
[15:23] <fyrestrtr> mr_bad_new1: hrmm, I have another idea.
[15:23] <abc> hi
[15:24] <fyrestrtr> Jangari: what's your video card?

[15:24] <Bill_MI> sarah_bear: I think you'll find upgrades are so complex most experienced users do not trust them.
[15:24] <fyrestrtr> mr_bad_new1: because I have another (easier) idea.
[15:24] <mr_bad_new1> it takes quite a long time to load

[15:41] <steff1> what is the difference between eth0 and ppp0 ?
[15:41] <kindofabuzz> 3 letters
[15:41] <kindofabuzz> =)
[15:41] <masteredu> !pastebin
[15:41] <TiredWolf> steff1: eth0 would usually refer to an Ethernet network card, while ppp0 would refer to a dial-up modem (or possibly ADSL that uses PPPoE)
[15:41] <bazhang> marin, did you read the broadcom links? that output is simply the lshw command
[15:41] <kindofabuzz> Tired dang you type fast
[15:41] <fyrestrtr> mr_bad_news: just a second.
[15:41] <steff1> TiredWolf, what should I configure now?
[15:42] <marin> I am reading broadcom links for past two days, bazhang
[15:42] <steff1> eth0, ppp0 or both?
[15:42] <TiredWolf> i don't know steff1, i wasn't following, i just saw the question about eth0
[15:42] <bazhang> marin, and saying it does not work will get no help here; need to specify what you have done and what exact errors you have gotten.
[15:42] <steff1> I mean what shold I configure?
[15:43] <TiredWolf> steff1: it depends whether you're using a modem or a network card, i guess
[15:43] <steff1> I am using adsl modem which is going into my network card
[15:43] <masteredu> pls need help : http://paste.ubuntu.com/30573/
[15:43] <newbe1> Question/  we have a card program  in xp  can it be installed in Ubuntu

how clonzilla works?
[15:48] <kindofabuzz> masteredu: you were wanting something to fall back on right? ubuntu doesn't have a "system restore" so all you can really do is make a "clone" of your hardrive to fall back on
[15:48] <marin> ﻿That link only tell me how to see what card I have, but I know taht already
[15:48] <kindofabuzz> masteredu: read it and you will see how it works
[15:48] <TiredWolf> is there any way to use PTP (picture transfer protocol) clients on Ubuntu to access non-image files from a camera? (i.e. files that the camera normally doesn't expose to PTP users)

[15:52] <suselin> steff1: calm down
[15:53] <kindofabuzz> krage: log into your router and open it
[15:53] <IndyGunFreak> steff1: perhaps you should delete ubuntu, you're way to worked up over ths.
[15:53] <|MUSE|> can I install the whole of ubuntu into a logic volume?

[15:53] <Harley^> TiredWolf: There may well be a gphoto2 package for KDE

[15:53] <krage> kindofabuzz: so the problem is on my router, not on my local computer
[15:53] <krage> ?
[15:53] <kindofabuzz> krage: probably, are you ssh to another computer on the network?
[15:53] <steff1> thanks zvacet I will try
[15:54] <Harley^> TiredWolf:  If I recall gphoto2 was a commandline utility and there are different interfaces to it.
[15:54] <zvacet> |MUSE| :yes
[15:54] <steff1> zvacet should I choose Wired connection?
[15:54] <krage> kindofabuzz: now I tryed to test the ssh-server to ssh to my localhost,
[15:54] <TiredWolf> Harley^: well, sort of maybe... "apt-cache rdepends libgphoto2-2" shows that DigiKam and Kamera use it. i don't think DigiKam can access anything other than the pictures, but I haven't tried Kamera
[15:54] <steff1> or Point to Point connection
[15:54] <steff1> ?
[15:54] <|MUSE|> ﻿zvacet: including the swap and boot?
[15:54] <TiredWolf> Harley^: oh, heck you're right... from the "g" i just assumed it was gnome/gtk :o)
[15:54] <krage> kindofabuzz: but i should probebly check the router settings :)
[15:54] <zvacet> steff1 : I don´t think so just manual configuration
[15:54] <Harley^> LOL
[15:54]  * Harley^ does that all the time
[15:55] <qt-x> how do i know if i have a rootkit in my system ?

[15:56] <steff1> my adsl modem goes to my network card
[15:56] <kindofabuzz> qt-x: there is a package called chkrootkit, install it and run it
[15:56] <kindofabuzz> i think it's chkrootkit
[15:56] <Myrtti> steff1: then pick Wired
[15:56] <sudobash> yes it is....
[15:56] <zvacet> steff1 : try with wired and if that is not good you can allways try second one

[16:09] <mr_bad_news> yes Gillpy
[16:09] <mr_bad_news> i cant connect to it
[16:10] <zvacet>   tj83 : http://www.kernel.org/
[16:10] <Xpistos> Which by the way, If I go into the wine c: drive I can see the file
[16:11] <tj83> zvacet, TY

[16:13] <Gillpy> mr_bad_news: state your problem clearly for me please
[16:13] <Xpistos> Nevermind
[16:13] <Xpistos> I got it
[16:13] <tj83> anyone know why if kernel 2.6.26 is the latest stable kernel we are running 2.6.24?
[16:14] <Xpistos> I thought the uninstall wine software would delete wine

[16:14] <levander> How do I restart emerald (without restarting X)?  All my window borders on my desktop are gone right now.
[16:14] <hateball> levander: emerald --replace
[16:14] <bullgard4> tj83: Because it needs adaptation work in Ubuntu before a new kernel can be released for all situations.
[16:14] <levander> hateball: do I need sudo for that?
[16:15] <hateball> levander: Nope
[16:15] <levander> seems to have worked, thanks
[16:15] <hateball> levander: You do however need to pass a & at the end, so it wont die when you close the terminal
[16:16] <tj83> kindofabuzz, bullgard4 reason i am asking is that supposedly support for my wireless chip-set is to be supported in 2.6.27, cant wait! i suppose updating the kernel would only cause massive system problems huh?
[16:16] <zvacet> tj83 : if you don´t have patience to wait for new kernel comes with Ubuntu you can use http://www.ubuntugeek.com/automatically-compile-and-install-the-latest-kernel-using-kernelcheck-in-ubuntu.html

[16:17] <tj83> zvacet, TY again :)
[16:17] <zvacet> tj83 : yw
[16:17] <bazhang> RickX, debian?
[16:17] <hateball> RickX: Rightclick the Menu and edit it
[16:18] <zvacet> RickX : main menu>debian>uncheck item you want>close
[16:18] <RickX> bazhang, Debian
[16:19] <bazhang> #debian RickX
[16:19] <sirex> does anyone have a guide or url for totally removing every trace of pulseaudio, and putting alsa in it's place, on hardy ?
[16:19] <RickX> hateball, I can't do that from Windowmaker. If I do it from Gnome, will the changes show in Windowmaker?
[16:19] <RickX> bazhang, The Debian menu is, apparently, very much a part of Ubuntu.
[16:20] <bullgard4> tj83: If it is true that the new kernel supports your chipset and the old kernel does not, then I would recommend that you try the new kernel. You can probably download it from reliable Debian repositories. You can install this kernel, and Grub will allow you to boot from either the old or the new kernel. There may occur some troubles which need adjustment work. But This is it worth trying if your chipset will be supported.
[16:20] <bazhang> RickX, you are asking for debian help in #ubuntu? this is the wrong channel for that
[16:20] <RickX> bazhang, no, I am asking for Ubuntu help in Ubuntu.
[16:20] <RickX> There is a Debian menu in Ubuntu.
[16:21] <Crewsr3>  I'm running Hardy 8.04 and one day something happened to firefox.  My URL box is always blank even when I'm at a site and my buttons are greyed out except my home button.  Any ideas
[16:21] <bullgard4> RickX: "There is a Debian menu in Ubuntu" Where is it?
[16:21] <Crewsr3> Also I tried a reinstall with no change
[16:21] <tj83> bullgard4, thanks for the advice.. I am going to install a ubuntu test bed.. I dont want to hack up what is working already :) But I do plan to test this out for the benefit of all of the others out there that have the same problem.
[16:22] <bullgard4> tj83: Great! Give it a try.
[16:22] <cobber2005> How do I stop the screen flickering that start after suspending??
[16:22] <zvacet> bullgard4 : under apps
[16:22] <suselin> i created a mount point for a share drive that has rwx privs but when i attept to save or create files i get an error "error removing file:input/output error"
[16:22] <RickX> bullgard4, at the moment, I am using Gnome. It is the second item in the main menu, just below Accessories. And it appears becasue I have xdg menu installed.
[16:23] <zvacet> RickX : I don´t know about Windowmaker but what I said to you will work under gnome
[16:23] <hateball> RickX: I think Gnome, KDE, whatever use the same desktop files so should work if you do your changes anywhere
[16:23] <bullgard4> zvacet: My Ubuntu Hardy does not show it (any longer). It used to be there in earlier releases. I believe it has been reshuffled in GNOME so that it is no longer needed.
[16:24] <Crewsr3> can someone give me a hand?
[16:24] <RickX> I've started to uncheck the Debian menu items. I'll let you know it it works shortly.
[16:24] <zvacet> bullgard4 : you can install it anytime
[16:24] <bullgard4> Crewsr3: Ülease put here a specific question. Meta-questions here are deprecated.
[16:24] <hateball> RickX: Not sure if it works just unchecking them, or if you have to remove them
[16:24] <RickX> I really don't understand, though, why apps that aren't installed appear.
[16:25] <bullgard4> Crewsr3: /s/Ülease/Please
[16:25] <cobber2005> Anyone get screen flickering after waking up from a suspend?
[16:25] <RickX> hateball, the apps themselves have been removed.
[16:25] <zvacet> RickX : just uncheck them
[16:25] <Crewsr3> bullgard4, Thanks for the reply - my I posted my question above
[16:26] <hateball> RickX: I was talking about removing the menu entries, as opposed to unchecking. But just try :)
[16:26] <RickX> unchecking didn't work...
[16:26] <pedro> do i have to install xubuntu-desktop to get xfce? or xfce4?
[16:27] <Crewsr3>  I'm running Hardy 8.04 and one day something happened to firefox.  My URL box is always blank even when I'm at a site and my buttons are grayed out except my home button.  Any ideas Also I tried a reinstall with no change
[16:27] <zvacet> pedro :yes
[16:27] <pedro>  zvacet yes to which?
[16:27] <bullgard4> Crewsr3: You are describing your situation not very precisely. Are you saying that you do not have Internet access?
[16:28] <zvacet> pedro : to xfce
[16:28] <Crewsr3> bullgard4, I do have the ability to type in a URL and get to a website.  It even remembers where I have been but when I got to my history it is all blank.  Also my short cuts are all blank/gone
[16:28] <LapMag> hello everyone! I was hoping i could get some help with my webcam. There is an LED on my laptop which lights up when the webcam is in use. For some reason ubuntu always has it on and its kind of distracting not to mention the fact that my computer is spying on me
[16:29] <Crewsr3> bullgard4, this is only with firefox 3.0
[16:29] <zvacet> pedro : http://www.xubuntu.org/
[16:29] <Crewsr3> bullgard4, 2.0 works and other browsers work just fine.
[16:29] <bazhang> Crewsr3, set to not erase when quitting ff then
[16:29] <mattgyver83> I experience horrible lag with Firefox3 (on 7.10) and often have to kill the program.  I never had this issue with FF (7.04).  Is this a known issue, does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix?
[16:29] <pedro> wow... i thought it was a simple question. i still havent received an answer.. do i install xubuntu-desktop of xcfe4?
[16:30] <Crewsr3> bazhang, I don't follow
[16:30] <bullgard4> Crewsr3: bazhang Is just giving you an advise.
[16:30] <Crewsr3> bazhang, where is that setting
[16:30] <cobber2005> Hardy works great, until the first time I suspend it, then after awaking it the screen flickers under any load.  I have compix off.  Its a Gateway 310 desktop with 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device.  Any one know what to do?
[16:30] <andycas> Is there an app that could change gamepad input into keyboard? so when i press btn1 i get ASCII 'a'. And autorepeat function would be great too
[16:30] <Yorkshireman1990> LapMag: I have had a similar problem; have you updated to the latest Ubuntu and installed all the latest drivers?
[16:30] <bazhang> Crewsr3, let me check
[16:30] <kindofabuzz> Crewsr3: run FF in safe mode and see if problem is still there
[16:30] <LapMag> Yorkshireman1990, yes, I update quite often
[16:30] <AeronTS> #help
[16:31] <magentar> pedro, i think xubuntu-desktop also installs the usplash stuff etc., xfce4 should be fine, exept it could miss some additional programs
[16:31] <Crewsr3> kindofabuzz, how do I do that in gnome
[16:31] <bazhang> Crewsr3, preferences privacy tab settings
[16:31] <kindofabuzz> Crewsr3: firefox -safe-mode
[16:31] <pedro> thank you magentar, that was a good explanation.
[16:31] <AeronTS> how can i get a list of channels by keyword?
[16:31] <RickX> zaggy-nl, detleting the menu items from the Gnome menu didn't change the xdg generated menu in Windowmaker.
[16:31] <bullgard4> cobber2005: First advise: Do not suspend it any more unless the cause for flicker has been found. Secondly, analyze your dmesg for the suspend error.
[16:31] <Yorkshireman1990> LapMag: Hmmm, well, an update for me sorted that problem. :-/
[16:32] <LapMag> Yorkshireman1990, just a simple apt-get dist-upgrade?
[16:32] <Crewsr3> kindofabuzz, I started it in safemode and it still has the same issues  what is odd is that it remembers my passwords and everything
[16:32] <cobber2005> bullgard4: How do I analyze dmesg?
[16:32] <Yorkshireman1990> LapMag: I am a complete amateur/novice with Ubuntu. All I did was install the prompted updates and after a reboot the light went off.
[16:32] <Crewsr3> kindofabuzz, so when I go to gmail it logs my right in but then I go to history (without closing it) and all the history is blank
[16:33] <LapMag> Yorkshireman1990, ah.. lucky you :)
[16:33] <Yorkshireman1990> LapMag: Hardly, I have problems with my graphics card.
[16:33] <RickX> ah, well... I gues I've got to figure out how to get xdg menu to read the Gnome menus.
[16:33] <kindofabuzz> did you do what bazhanG suggested?
[16:34] <Crewsr3> I thought that doing a reinstall of FF would fix it but it did not change anything
[16:34] <turkubuntu> Hi There
[16:35] <rbd> hi guys, I have asterisk installed normally, but I'd like to run a 2nd instance of it (isolated most likely over off of /usr/local or /opt/asterisk) ... I'd like to have the same version running as the deb of it I installed. is it possible to reinstall a deb to a different prefix, or make the src deb with a different prefix...or should I just look at building from the .tar.gz?
[16:35] <kindofabuzz> Crewsr3: did you try it with a new profile?
[16:35] <Yorkshireman1990> turkubuntu: Hello.
[16:35] <fyrestrtr> rbd: use a virtual machine for this.
[16:35] <Crewsr3> kindofabuzz, I have not let me give it a shot
[16:35] <RickX> later, thanks :-)
[16:35] <ahorner> Is there anyway I can upgrade to 8.10 without having to reinstall everything? I tried apt-get update then apt-get upgrade but nothing.
[16:35] <bullgard4> cobber2005: In a GNOME terminal 'dmesg > dmesg.log20080726', then <Enter>. Then 'gedit dmesg.log20080826' <Enter>. The dmesg log will appear on your screen. Look after error messages for suspend and resume. (But you'll need advanced computer knowledge to find out the harder cases.)
[16:35] <kindofabuzz> Crewsr3: you know how to make a new profile?
[16:36] <rbd> fyrestrtr: yeah normally I would do that, but what if I couldn't in this case?
[16:36] <jaguar616> Can anyone please help. I upgraded my LTS 6.06 server to 8.4 and since then x server will not start with the error "could not open default font "fixed" Fatal IO eror 104
[16:36] <bazhang> ahorner, ask in #ubuntu+1 about that
[16:36] <Crewsr3> kindofabuzz, do you mean a ubuntu profile or a firefox profile?
[16:36] <ahorner> bazhang: thanks

[16:37] <kindofabuzz> Crewsr3: FF profile

[16:39] <Crewsr3> kindofabuzz, should I delete my old profile and then I should be good to go right?
[16:39] <kindofabuzz> Crewsr3: probably, they can get corrupt, you may wanna visit forums.mozillazine.org to see if you can save that corrupt profile
[16:39] <sirex> the audio thing is way, way, too complicated. alsa, oss, pulseaudio, gstreamer, xine, and a bunch of other things. is there any way to remove all the cruff and just leave one, working, setup ?
[16:39] <mr_bad_news> im pretty sure its a bit more complicated than that kindofabuzz

[16:55] <kindofabuzz> mr_bad_news: you could skip making a swap partiton and after install make a swap file instead, just as good
[16:55] <bazhang> stmartin, this room is not for chat.
[16:55] <bunz> toddobryan: what video chipset it it
[16:55] <toddobryan> bunz: not sure. How can I find out?
[16:56] <stmartin> is this ubuntu 8.04 bug?
[16:56] <stmartin> 'network-admin' '--configure' 'eth0'
[16:56] <bazhang> stmartin, what bug
[16:56] <stmartin> Check that it is correctly typed and that it is correctly supported by your system.
[16:56] <stmartin> I write the above command
[16:56] <stmartin> and I receive errror
[16:56] <bazhang> stmartin, what are you trying to do.
[16:57] <bullgard4> cobber2005: I have never heard of flicker after wake-up. My advise: No-paste your dmesg.log20080726 file's content so that knowledgeable people can judge. You may have to do that repeatedly until an expert stumbles over it.
[16:57] <toddobryan> bunz: (I remembered lspci)

[17:06] <Scunizi> I'm confused.. I did "sudo fdisk -l" on my install and it shows /dev/sda1 as linux, /dev/sda2 as Extended and /dev/sda5 as swap.  Sounds normal but Extended and swap both have the same start and end reference. What does that mean?
[17:06] <fyrestrtr> Scunizi: that's fine, since your swap is in an extended partition.
[17:06] <stmartin> zvacet земјаче
[17:06] <Guest54341> I recently made a dualboot vista / ubuntu 8.04
[17:06] <Odd-rationale> Scunizi: think of it as the swap partiton is inside the exteneded partition.
[17:06] <zvacet> stmartin : enough to know it is not something I will translate to English

[17:07] <Scunizi> fyrestrtr: Odd-rationale -- On this particular I just used the install default and the entire drive because of it's small size.. Why would the default install choose to create an Extended partition in the first place?
[17:07] <fyrestrtr> Scunizi: you got me there, I never use the defaults lol
[17:08] <cobber2005> bullgard4: I just pasted it, where do I find the paste number?  It says, "Ubuntu Pastebin Paste from cobber2005 at Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:05:59 +0100" and then it shows what I pasted.
[17:08] <Scunizi> fyrestrtr: puzzling to me too.  First time I've used the defaults.
[17:08] <bullgard4> cobber2005: At the top of that website. Usually just below the headline.
[17:09] <mrwoody> Hi *. I would like to backup my rood directory. Would something like this work "cp -a * /mnt/tmp" ?
[17:09] <cobber2005> bullgard4: Oh, I see something in the URL that is probably the paste number.  Alright, thanks for your help!
[17:09] <Odd-rationale> Scunizi: well. i believe the reason is that you can only have a maximum of 4 partitions on the drive. An extended (or logical partition) is not a "real" partition itself. It can contain partitions inside it. You can put as many partitons as you want inside an extended partiton.
[17:10] <zvacet> mrwoody :http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/backup
[17:11] <bullgard4> cobber2005: Yes the format is that of an URL.
[17:11] <Baughn> XGas: *pong*
[17:11] <mrwoody> zvacet: thanks
[17:11] <Scunizi> Odd-rationale: that's true.  My thought is though, for an default install that would typically be used by an uninformed user they wouldn't know anything about partitions and therefore have no future use for an extended partition.. by creating one doesn't it just eat a little extra HD space just in the creation?
[17:11] <XGas> Baughn: Ping
[17:11] <zvacet> mrwoody :  ;)

[17:12] <bullgard4> cobber2005: Right.
[17:12] <Odd-rationale> Scunizi: i don't think is uses extra space. But you never know if a user ever decides to add more partitions or something...
[17:13] <cobber2005> If have a flickering problem that occures after waking up from a suspend.  I've pasted dmesg and xorg.conf at http://paste.ubuntu.com/30591/.  Can anyone help with this?

[17:15] <Scunizi> Odd-rationale: and thus the nick :) .. to me that's an odd rationale. :)

[17:29] <OasisGames> Alrighty, having some major nVidia problems here. I have an old GeForce2, which I have been informed by my colleagues satisfies the graphical requirements to do my work on (Compiz). But I'm having serious issues getting the drivers to work.
[17:29] <bazhang> remsoft, you can ask in #ubuntu-fr
[17:29] <OasisGames> I've tried both a direct install from nVidia's website and installing from the Ubuntu restricted drivers manager (after a complete reinstall, this is a "new" machine so it didn't matter). Both worked to a point - I could start X. However, any attempts to run gdm resulted in a crash.

[17:30] <remsoft> yes thinks bazhang i will be more easy
[17:30] <theclaw> I don't run compiz
[17:30] <theclaw> but e.g. some window borders are transparent
[17:30] <bazhang> remsoft, you can also try yahoo babelfish to translate the page
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> theclaw: which effects do yuo wanna disable?
[17:31] <theclaw> and there's kind of a "shadow" around the windows
[17:31] <OasisGames> I'll take a look. However, I'm more interested in the type of failure I'm getting. Horrible texture corruption followed by crashes :| Bit odd for something like this. I'll be back in a minute, going to reinstall again to ensure a nice clean environment (and because I've found that reenabling 'nv' is a pain)
[17:31] <theclaw> (although I don't have 3D acceleration)
[17:31] <guillaume_> thanks bazhang
[17:31] <bazhang> np
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> OasisGames: compiz is a pain and really not worth it
[17:31] <OasisGames> ... my kernel panic lights are finally flashing. After a delay of like 5 minutes.
[17:31] <zz0> compiz should work fine with 8.04
[17:31] <jaguar616> how can i view my xorg.conf file from the cmd
[17:31] <H__> Grackle sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade end claiming nothing to do. I remember the progress bar not being full though.

[17:33] <jaguar616> thanks kindofabuzz
[17:33] <senorpedro> why is packages.ubuntu.com/ down? when will it be up again?
[17:33] <Grackle> H__, hmm, well I'm not sure what happened. If apt says there's nothing to do, I'd be inclined to believe it.
[17:33] <OasisGames> Does Metacity's compositor do transparency on inactive windows? It's possible you somehow enabled it. It does shadows.
[17:34] <H__> Grackle ok, thanks.
[17:34] <theclaw> it's also rather slow
[17:34] <theclaw> I don't need those effects at the moment
[17:34] <jeeves__> how can I change the res of my x session?

[17:35] <cobber2005> ActionParsnip:  To what driver, and how do I do that?
[17:35] <theclaw> jeeves__: might be a driver problem
[17:35] <toddobryan> Ab3L: I've looked, but after I tried reconfiguring the X server, I have no modelines or anything in my xorg.conf file.
[17:35] <toddobryan> So I'm not sure what to do.
[17:35] <jeeves__> theclaw, lol, that's one way of saying it
[17:36] <nickrud> toddobryan that's normal for the new version of X, it's supposed to detect video hardware and configure it on the fly
[17:36] <Odd-rationale> jeeves__: can you pastebin the output of "xrandr" ?
[17:36] <nickrud> toddobryan but you can add stuff to xorg.conf, which will override autodetect
[17:37] <toddobryan> nickrud: I have the built-in laptop monitor and the external monitor. How do I add possible resolutions for the external, but not the built-in?
[17:37] <Odd-rationale> nickrud: about the X auto-dection thing... since it doesnt tell what drivers you are using, how do you find what drivers X is using?
[17:37] <Ab3L> toddobryan: nothing like a Section "Screen" ? and a SubSection "Display" ?
[17:37] <jeeves__> Odd-rationale, right now, the system is back to doing what it was doing earlier.  it freezes up, then the screen will flicker, then go greyed out (like when it's asking for your password), then after a few seconds, it'll go back to what program you were working on
[17:37] <nickrud> toddobryan ah, external monitor. Gotta get one of those things and try it out myself
[17:37] <toddobryan> nickrud: There's only one "Monitor" section.
[17:37] <wols> Odd-rationale: Xorg.0.log, glxinfo
[17:37] <nickrud> Odd-rationale I check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[17:37] <tesla`> hi, i was updating my heron and when i rebooted  it seems that the open apps wont come up anymore on my awn. any ideas ?
[17:38] <wols> toddobryan: you can create more than one
[17:38] <Odd-rationale> k thanks...
[17:38] <nickrud> Odd-rationale fast way, is find the mode-lines in the file and look up a bit
[17:38] <toddobryan> wols: How do I make sure the sections only apply to the monitors they should?
[17:38] <jeeves__> Odd-rationale, any ideas?
[17:39] <Drk_Guy> Hi
[17:39] <ujos> hi
[17:39] <robert__> does anyone know how to install frostwire in xubuntu?
[17:39] <Odd-rationale> jeeves__: what card? and what drivers are you using?
[17:39] <Odd-rationale> !frostwire | Guest18276
[17:39] <linuxguymarshall> I have two files in my trash that it says I do not have permission to delete. How can I delete them from the terminal as root?
[17:40] <Guest18276> thanks i'll check it out
[17:40] <ujos> How to disable balloon in Rhythmbox?
[17:40] <jeeves__> Odd-rationale, it's a nVidia 7300GO (it's a laptop), and I used EnvyNG to install the drivers
[17:40] <ujos> cannot find any related option
[17:40] <mstef> can someone please tell me why drupal (5.x) would out of no where stop adding core js files to the head
[17:40] <toddobryan> OK...just added a SubSection "Display" with depth and modes.
[17:40] <toddobryan> I'm going to restart X and see what happens.
[17:40] <Odd-rationale> jeeves__: hmm. idk...
[17:41] <jeeves__> Odd-rationale, that's the issue. I need to get this fixed.  and I'm lost as to where to look
[17:41] <Guest18276> installing frostwire in xubuntu isn't the same as it is in ubuntu
[17:41] <mstef> o wrong channel..
[17:41] <nickrud> Guest18276 should be
[17:41] <masteredu> !de ubuntu
[17:41] <masteredu> !ubuntu de
[17:41] <Guest18276> the package manager don't open it after downloading, i'm looking for the terminal install code
[17:41] <linuxguymarshall> I do I empty my trash from the terminal
[17:41] <jpds> !de
[17:42] <Drk_Guy> !Deutch
[17:42] <nickrud> Guest18276 you need to do   dpkg -i /path/to/froswiredeb then
[17:42] <nickrud> Guest18276 with sudo of course
[17:42] <ivanvollvik> yoyoyo
[17:42] <jpds> !de > Drk_Guy
[17:42] <jeeves__> anyone else want to take a stab @ this video issue?
[17:42] <Drk_Guy> WTF
[17:42] <nickrud> linuxguymarshall sudo rm  ~/.local/share/Trash/*
[17:43] <Drk_Guy> XD, i'm not deutsch
[17:43] <Drk_Guy> lol
[17:43] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__, ???
[17:43] <smellynoser> Is there anyway to get into a debug console during the initial boot of the kernel?
[17:43] <Guest18276> error cannot access archive
[17:43] <spike> hi, I've upgraded to hardy and now my system boots but then won't let me login
[17:43] <smellynoser> One of my servers is hanging at the end of it's boot, so I need a shell before that
[17:43] <dunas> I've been having problems with Ubuntu literally dying on me when I try to shut it down, the Gnome panel crashing. And, with Firefox 3 crashing every so often. I kill it, but I can't start it again.
[17:43] <spike> in the last vt I can see it has processes rc.local, but then I dont get any login promot
[17:44] <linuxguymarshall> nickrud: It says "No such file or directory"
[17:44] <jeeves__> Drk_Guy, I'm trying to figure out why my system is freezing, then flashes the screen, then allows me to go back to work after a few mins
[17:44] <sasuke781> are there tools in ubuntu to fix dual booting
[17:44] <nickrud> Guest18276 that's why the path is important, and use the actual name of the file you downloaded for frostwire.deb; for example,   sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/<downloaded deb>  if you downloaded to the desktop
[17:44] <Guest18276> oh you mean 4.17.0 i'll try that
[17:45] <nickrud> linuxguymarshall are you sure? cd ~/.local/share/ ; ls  # do you see the trash?
[17:45] <smellynoser> One of my servers is hanging at the end of it's boot, so I need a shell before that
[17:45] <spike> I can login in single user mode so it must be a problem of init scripts or something
[17:45] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__, Huh?
[17:45] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__, Real weird
[17:45] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__, you got nvidia driver working?
[17:45] <dunas> Er, rather, by 'gnome panel crashing' I mean that it literally locks up completely when I try to shut down with any programs open.
[17:45] <sasuke781> are thre tools in ubuntu to fix dual booting
[17:45] <nickrud> linuxguymarshall this is for hardy, if you have an older release it's different
[17:45] <sasuke781> there*
[17:45] <linuxguymarshall> nuckrud: Well they are two folders. Both named 'tmp' I have already tried 'sudo rm rf'
[17:46] <Gillpy> sasuke781: what you mean by fix ?
[17:46] <nickrud> linuxguymarshall do you see them in ls ~/.local/share/Trash/files ?
[17:46] <jeeves__> Drk_Guy, I have a xsession, but randomly, the X will freeze, then flash the screen (white/black) a bunch of times, then go to a "greyed out" screen (like when it asks you to input the admin password), then after a few more seconds, it'll release me back to what I was working on
[17:47] <sasuke781> it wont boot windows with ubuntu
[17:47] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__, I have no ideas
[17:47] <linuxguymarshall> nickrud:Np
[17:47] <unimatrix9> hi there, brasero cant burn my cue files, any tips are welcome
[17:47] <linuxguymarshall> nickrud:no*
[17:47] <Guest18276> it stiill says error cannot access
[17:48] <dunas> I've been having problems with Ubuntu literally dying on me when I try to shut it down or logout or reboot with programs open, the Gnome panel locking up completely. And, with Firefox 3 crashing every so often. I kill it, but I can't start it again.
[17:48] <Sp0t> Hello folks
[17:48] <nickrud> linuxguymarshall hm, then you've been bit by a bug nautilus has with trash, it's supposed to get a fix. A sec
[17:48] <Gillpy> sasuke781: post your  /boot/grub/menu.lst  file and someone will probably be able to help you
[17:48] <Drk_Guy> unimatrix9, apt-cache search cue might help
[17:48] <jeeves__> Drk_Guy, no one does, and that's what's making it frustrating.
[17:49] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__, All the times?
[17:49] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__, I mean, have you tried reinstalling?
[17:49] <unimatrix9> no cue file is an kind of iso , disk image of a file to burn
[17:49] <Sp0t> Patrick here, new to linux Ubuntu 8.04. Figured out some stuff myself already and I think it rocks
[17:49] <linuxguymarshall> nickrud:What should I do whilst I wait for a fix?
[17:49] <Sp0t> made a dualboot vista / ubuntu 8.04
[17:49] <nickrud> linuxguymarshall a sec, I'm looking for the workaround
[17:49] <Drk_Guy> unimatrix9, i know, but maybe there's a program to convert it to iso, like nrg2iso
[17:49] <jeeves__> Drk_Guy, yes, it was so bad before that I did a full re-install about 32 hours ago
[17:49] <linuxguymarshall> nickrud:k
[17:50] <KleinerHai> Howdy
[17:50] <Drk_Guy> lol, so it must be faulty HW
[17:50] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__,
[17:50] <nickrud> linuxguymarshall when you deleted these dirs, where were they originally, and were you running the file manager as root?
[17:50] <jeeves__> Drk_Guy, it runs fine under windows
[17:50] <dunas> I've been having problems with Ubuntu literally dying on me when I try to shut it down or logout or reboot with programs open, the Gnome panel locking up completely. And, with Firefox 3 crashing every so often. I kill it, but I can't start it again. What should I do?
[17:50] <BoltClock> hi, in windows i could rename my disks, can i do the same in ubuntu? i try to do it the conventional way but it says operation not supported by backend
[17:50] <fyrestrtr> dunas: get a new computer.
[17:51] <cobber2005> ActionParsnip:  To what driver, and how do I do that?
[17:51] <dunas> fyrestrtr: :/
[17:51] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__, That's the thing, x implements the video in a different way
[17:51] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__, maybe you have anti-linux HW
[17:51] <KleinerHai> i had already a /boot partition, then installed ubuntu which has it's own /boot in it's partition how can i reactivate old /boot partitioN? just delete the other one?
[17:51] <cobber2005> ACtionParsip:  Opps, sorry about that.
[17:51] <linuxguymarshall> nickrud: They were in my home dir. They were failed Ubuntu Customization Kit folders. and no I was not running them as root
[17:51] <cobber2005> Can some help with a flickering problem that happens after waking up from a suspend?  I've pasted xorg.conf and dmesg at http://paste.ubuntu.com/30591/.
[17:51] <Drk_Guy> KleinerHai, That's done a t install time man
[17:51] <unimatrix9> i swap brasero for gnomebaker
[17:52] <smellynoser> Is there anyway to get into a debug console during the initial boot of the kernel?
[17:52] <KleinerHai> Drk_Guy, don't understand
[17:52] <jeeves__> Drk_Guy, it's a Toshiba, enough said
[17:52] <theclaw> what is /lib/modules/$kernelver/volatile? never seen it before on other linux distributions
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> cobber2005: you need the driver for your intel card
[17:52] <unimatrix9> then i can burn cue files, but brasero needs to be fixed on this issue
[17:52] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__, lol?
[17:52] <wols> smellynoser: what is a debug console?
[17:52] <Drk_Guy> KleinerHai, The installer asks you for mount-points
[17:52] <smellynoser> wols: A shell
[17:53] <nickrud> do you know the name of one of the files, a fairly unique one in the deleted directories?
[17:53] <KleinerHai> wols, you can open programms with your shell too
[17:53] <Drk_Guy> KleinerHai, You have to tell the installer that (for example) /dev/sda is /boot
[17:53] <KleinerHai> Then you see every command the program does or gives in the shell too
[17:53] <KleinerHai> So, I have to re-install everything?
[17:53] <wols> smellynoser: init=/bin/sh
[17:53] <unimatrix9> thank god we have choice in ubuntu software
[17:53] <unimatrix9> :)
[17:54] <cobber2005> ActionParsnip: I went to Intel's site and looked up 82845G/GL, and downloaded (and extracted the driver) but I don't seem to know how to install it.  I clicked install.sh but and then run, but nothing changed.  Do you know what I need to do?
[17:54] <Drk_Guy> KleinerHai, afaik, yes, you have to reinstall
[17:54] <jeeves__> Drk_Guy, this is the second laptop I've had from them.  The first one went the way of the Dell laptops, so they replaced it
[17:54] <Drk_Guy> jeeves__, XD
[17:54] <KleinerHai> But everything rests on my system?
[17:54] <wols> cobber2005: you don't need drivers from intel
[17:54] <DRebellion> cobber2005, you probably need to run it from the command line
[17:54] <wols> KleinerHai: no need to reinstall IF you know what you are doing
[17:54] <KleinerHai> Drk_Guy, I mean, nothing will be overwritten?
[17:54] <toddobryan> OK. That did not work.
[17:54] <wols> cobber2005: i810/intel
[17:55] <nickrud> cobber2005 don't use that, the ubuntu kernel/Xorg comes with the right drivers
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> cobber2005: http://www.backports.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=675870
[17:55] <unimatrix9> hmm, i just love google gadgets, but ok thats offtopic
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> cobber2005: search for people who installed it and see what they did
[17:55] <Drk_Guy> KleinerHai, if you make a back-up of /var/cache/apt/archives and your home, you won't lose anything
[17:55] <Drk_Guy> ;)
[17:55] <wols> Drk_Guy: reinstalling is not necessary
[17:56] <Drk_Guy> wols, I said, afaik
[17:56] <KleinerHai> Oh! Drk_Guy! Thank you! So stupid! I have a allready a home parition :)
[17:56] <KleinerHai> Drk_Guy, what is the /var/cache/apt/archives for?
[17:56] <cobber2005> ActionParsnip (and everyone else): alright, I'll try your suggestions, many thanks!!!
[17:56] <Drk_Guy> KleinerHai, lol ;)

[17:57] <smellynoser> I need a water cooled top
[17:57] <unimatrix9> ?
[17:57] <KleinerHai> Ah! Thank you! DEB's are the packages?
[17:57] <H__> yes
[17:57] <KleinerHai> Thank you H__
[17:57] <Drk_Guy> KleinerHai, Yeah, DEBian, Ubuntu is based upon Debian

[18:01] <Gillpy> !ot > koray
[18:01] <n-iCe> wols: I don't have any desktop installed
[18:01] <wols> bosco: why do you use ndiswrapper for atheros cards?
[18:01] <KleinerHai> !ot
[18:01] <smellynoser> I have kubuntu installed, so I guess I still count
[18:02] <bosco> wols, because my atherose card is not sopported by madwifi

[18:03] <Ayabara> I dual boot vista and ubuntu, and everytime I boot into windows the clock is 2 hours slow. Any idea what could cause this? Some BIOS setting I need to change?
[18:03] <zerogate> wols, http://pastebin.com/m68eb852b
[18:03] <thecypher> hi
[18:04] <Gnea> Ayabara: have you checked the timezone settings?
[18:04] <thecypher> i have a problem
[18:04] <Ayabara> Gnea: yep
[18:04] <Sp0t> I downloaded a screenlet as a tar.gz file, extracted it but then how do I get it to work? Followed a few guides about the sudo apt-get etc etc but it doesn't work
[18:04] <bosco> wols, i can see the network but i cannot connect
[18:04] <H__> Ayabara set your bios clock to UTC, and have both OSes fiddle out timezones etc. for themselves
[18:04] <thecypher> i have a dual boot laptop
[18:04] <Gnea> Ayabara: you might want to ask in #windows then
[18:04] <kenkku> Ayabara: where do you live?
[18:04] <wols> Ayabara: what country are you in?
[18:05] <Ayabara> H__: I'll give that a try
[18:05] <kenkku> Ayabara: it doesn't happen to be in the gmt+2 zone does it?
[18:05] <wols> Ayabara: and what is the BIOS clock set to right now?
[18:05] <Ayabara> wols: kenkku: norway, so GMT+1
[18:05] <kenkku> Ayabara: the most probable problem is that windows likes to have the clock set to local time and ubuntu likes having it set to UTC
[18:06] <kenkku> Ayabara: but daylight savings now, right? so it's +2?
[18:06] <wols> Ayabara: wrong. right now you are GMT+2
[18:06] <Ayabara> kenkku: yes
[18:06] <kenkku> Ayabara: I don't know what the solution is, but there's your problem
[18:06] <wols> Ayabara: don't use UTC time for your BIOS. your timezone settings are wrong
[18:06] <robert__>  
[18:06] <wols> tell ubuntu you use localtime in your BIOS
[18:06] <nickrud> Ayabara check for UTC=yes in /etc/default/rcS , if it is, change it to no. then you'll have to change your time once in each os
[18:06] <Guest59551>  
[18:06] <bosco> wols, i can see the network but i cannot connect
[18:07] <thecypher> whenever  i boot to ubuntu, the keyboard doesn't qwork

[18:07] <thecypher> i have to reboot to make it work
[18:07] <Guest59551> how do i find out what my i.p. address is?
[18:07] <bosco> smellynoser, sudo dhclient wlan0
[18:07] <thecypher> what is the cause of the problem
[18:07] <smellynoser> Guest: ifconfig
[18:07] <wols> Guest59551: local or external?
[18:07] <Guest59551> local i guess
[18:07] <smellynoser> bosco: Do you tell the wireless which network to connect to? If so, how?
[18:07] <wols> ifconfig then
[18:08] <Guest59551> i'm tryin to connect to LinuxDC++
[18:08] <smellynoser> If external, http://ipbadger.com :)
[18:08] <bosco> smellynoser, sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid (network)
[18:08] <smellynoser> bosco: any encryption? wep/wpa?
[18:08] <zerogate> wols, does my pastebin say something useful?
[18:08] <ycy_> i want to create a fileserver with ubuntu, is it safe to use a /mnt/store as ntfs partition?
[18:08] <bosco> smellynoser, nope open network
[18:08] <n-iCe> how can I do an autologin when ubuntu starts? thanks, (without a desktop)
[18:08] <Guest59551> any idea vols?
[18:09] <wols> zerogate: looks fine
[18:09] <smellynoser> bosco: After you do sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid MY_NETWORK_SSID, run sudo iwconfig again - Does it say that it is associated with the network?
[18:09] <smellynoser> bosco: Are there other networks with the same SSID?
[18:09] <thecypher> i have a dual boot laptop. whenever  i boot to ubuntu, the keyboard doesn't qwork. i have to reboot to make it work.what is the cause of the problem
[18:09] <wols> zerogate: check Xorg.0.log when nvidia drivers are loaded for errors or messages
[18:09] <bosco> smellynoser, no there are not  and yes it does associate
[18:09] <smellynoser> bosco: Is the link quality more than 0?
[18:09] <wols> zerogate: tho, what ubuntu version do you run? 169.x of nvidia drivers probably don't support 8600 chips
[18:09] <thecypher> somebody help
[18:09] <thecypher> what is the cause of the problem
[18:10] <Guest59551> anyone know how i can find out my i.p. address so i can connect to LinuxDC++?
[18:10] <thecypher> i have a dual boot laptop. whenever  i boot to ubuntu, the keyboard doesn't qwork. i have to reboot to make it work.what is the cause of the problem
[18:10] <smellynoser> Guest59551: To get your local network use ifconfig - External (public) IP use ipbadger.com
[18:10] <bosco> no and i am sitting right next to it lol

[18:11] <Guest59551> but which one is the modem? external or internal?
[18:11] <smellynoser> bosco: Can you see your network when you do: "sudo iwlist wlan0" ?

[18:11] <wols> !info nvidia-new
[18:11] <Guest59551> thanks
[18:11] <Odd-rationale> !info nvidia-glx | wols
[18:11] <thecypher> plz help
[18:11] <bosco> smellynoser, you mean sudo iwlist wlan0 scan and yes i can'
[18:11] <askand> Anyone else having slow copying to usbsticks and such since upgrading to hardy?
[18:12] <wols> zerogate: you used envy to install. no support here
[18:12] <wols> zerogate: the driver is wrong and not the hardy drivers
[18:12] <Guest59551> it said connection refused
[18:12] <fyrestrtr> askand: not me.
[18:12] <bosco> smellynoser, you mean sudo iwlist wlan0 scan and yes i can'
[18:12] <wols> Odd-rationale: that's the WRONG one. no one cares here about 96.xx but 169x vs. 173.x
[18:13] <Guest59551> i went to whatismyip.com copy paste enter it said refused
[18:13] <Odd-rationale> wols: sorry. i thought you were trying to get the info for nvidia-glx-new...
[18:13] <wols> Guest59551: you were told something else
[18:13] <smellynoser> bosco: Yes, that is what I meant. What is your SSID?
[18:13] <lantius> Hello, has everyone get work dual-head and compiz with intel graphic ?
[18:13] <wols> Odd-rationale: I did, and your !info call wasn't it
[18:13] <Guest59551> i'm not sure what the ssid is
[18:14] <wols> Guest59551: you were not asked about a ssid
[18:14] <Guest59551> oh ok
[18:14] <zerogate> wols, envy was my last chance since neither apt-get nvidia-glx-new nor installing the binaries worked
[18:14] <faceless> anyone cant help to work in freeradius
[18:14] <faceless> ?
[18:14] <bosco> smellynoser,            sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid   "0016019AD044"
[18:14] <wols> !anyone | faceless
[18:15] <smellynoser> bosco: Is that the name of your network?
[18:15] <PPKuma> a friend of mine want to download ubuntu for a dell inspiron 9400 http://www.pcplus.co.uk/reviews/mobile_computing/dell_inspiron_9400 it has a dual core processor.. that means he needs the 64bits version of ubuntu?
[18:15] <wols> zerogate: we don't care. envy is not supported end of story. ask the envy folks
[18:15] <smellynoser> PPKuma: Dual core isn't 64bit
[18:15] <PPKuma> smellynoser, ok, thanks :)
[18:15] <Guest59551> so its not the i.p. address that LinuxDC++ is asking for?
[18:15] <wols> PPKuma: he can probably run either
[18:16] <faceless> fuck off
[18:16] <bosco> smellynoser, yes it is
[18:16] <wols> !language | faceless
[18:16] <smellynoser> bosco: You set the name of your network to 0016019AD044? Are you sure that isn't your BSSID?
[18:17] <bosco> smellynoser, do you mean ESSID
[18:18] <Guest59551> it says connect to address with an empty box below it. i put in my ip address and it said connection connection failed connection refused
[18:18] <smellynoser> What is LinuxDC++?
[18:18] <kenkku> smellynoser: filesharing program
[18:18] <Guest59551> its a p2p client
[18:18] <kenkku> Guest59551: maybe it wants the hub address?
[18:18] <smellynoser> bosco: bssid is a MAC address looking thing
[18:18] <smellynoser> Guest59551: Why would you try to fileshare with yourself?
[18:18] <Guest59551> the hub address? whats that?
[18:18] <phoenix__> where i can find neural network simulator for ubuntu 8.04 ?
[18:19] <Guest59551> i just want to connect to the p2p
[18:19] <bosco> smellynoser, that is not installed and i dont use that to find out anything
[18:19] <Guest59551> and i'm tryin to figure out what it wants lol
[18:19] <kenkku> Guest59551: dc++ is bases on hub servers. you connect to one and it links you to other users
[18:19] <td123> phoenix__: try synaptic and search there
[18:19] <smellynoser> bosco:
[18:19] <smellynoser>           Cell 02 - Address: 00:90:D0:E4:1B:F1
[18:19] <smellynoser>                     ESSID:"SpeedTouch1F1E21"
[18:19] <wols> Guest59551: if you get connection refsued, there is nothing running there
[18:19] <Guest59551> how do i know what to type in there?
[18:19] <phoenix__> td123:thanks
[18:20] <kenkku> Guest59551: I don't know, does it have a hublist?
[18:20] <smellynoser> Are you doing: "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid ADDRESS (00:90:D0:E4:1B:F1)" or "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid SpeedTouch1F1E21" ?
[18:20] <ZmAY> hello, i have vista installed and now i wanna install ubuntu after vista, when i run live CD in boots me into busyboy, any suggestions?
[18:20] <Guest59551> there's a public hubs link
[18:20] <smellynoser> BusyBox?
[18:20] <zerogate> wols, which driver version should work?
[18:20] <ZmAY> busybox*
[18:20] <Odd-rationale> ZmAY: make sure you burn correctly...
[18:20] <Sl4y3r> had a question for someone
[18:21] <Odd-rationale> ZmAY: check the disk integrity...
[18:21] <kenkku> Guest59551: well, find a hub or hubs and connect to them
[18:21] <wols> zerogate: the one in hardy
[18:21] <Sl4y3r> i recently installed fluxbox
[18:21] <Sl4y3r> and now none of my other desktop environments work
[18:21] <Guest59551> ok i'll try that thanks
[18:21] <thecypher> i have a dual boot laptop. whenever  i boot to ubuntu, the keyboard doesn't work. i have to reboot to make it work.what is the cause of the problem
[18:21] <wols> Sl4y3r: of course they still work
[18:21] <bosco> Address: 00:16:01:9A:D0:45

[18:21] <FloodBot1> bosco: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:21] <ZmAY> does this has something with MBR?
[18:22] <Sl4y3r> wols im sure they dont
[18:22] <bosco> FloodBot1, ok srry
[18:22] <Sl4y3r> enlightment kinda works
[18:22] <Odd-rationale> Sl4y3r: what happens when you try to select them from the login session menu? an log in?
[18:22] <wols> !doesn't work | Sl4y3r
[18:22] <Sl4y3r> it does nothing
[18:22] <Sl4y3r> just goes to a blank screen
[18:23] <Odd-rationale> Sl4y3r: by nothing... you mean blank screen? or returns to login screen?
[18:23] <Sl4y3r> and i cant alt+f2 to get the terminal or anything
[18:23] <Odd-rationale> Sl4y3r: you mean ctrl+alt+f2 ?
[18:23] <Guest59551> its connected, i clicked find and its just sittin there
[18:23] <marin> Hello there, I am going mad right now, my WLAN doesn't seems to work properly
[18:23] <un2him> is there a separate channel for 8.10 alpha releases?
[18:23] <wols> check ~/.xsession-errors and your Xorg.0.log
[18:23] <DRebellion> Sl4y3r, don't you mean ctrl+alt+f2?
[18:23] <Odd-rationale> Sl4y3r: what login manager are you using?
[18:23] <Sl4y3r> either or
[18:23] <Sl4y3r> neither works
[18:24] <marin> My back is hurting me so much, because for past two days I am trying to configure WLAN, but it doesn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[18:24] <n-iCe> how can I do an autologin when ubuntu starts?
[18:24] <marin> I just want to break my own neck
[18:24] <komputes> un2him: #ubuntu+1
[18:24] <wols> marin: if that makes you stop whining in here, do it NOW please
[18:25] <vasilisa> Ive used istanbul and GTK-RecordMyDesktop, and I still cant find a way to screencap without reducing my computer to 10%. Do these guys who do beryl on youtube have supercomputers?
[18:25] <Odd-rationale> vasilisa: proably... ;)
[18:25] <wols> vasilisa: what videocard?
[18:25] <Drk_Guy> vasilisa, lol
[18:25] <wols> vasilisa: and what CPU?
[18:25] <un2him> komputes: thanks
[18:25] <vasilisa> wols: Er...hmm, i built this a couple years ago i think, lemme try to remember. Its a RADEON i know
[18:26] <vasilisa> *goes to tiger direct to find out*
[18:26] <fyrestrtr> vasilisa: compared to your radeon, then yes -- they might as well have super computers.
[18:26] <wols> vasilisa: lspci
[18:26] <ekontsevoy> Anyone knows how to make an image of the entire hard drive (not just individual partitions with parted)? So I can just transfer everything from one drive to another?
[18:26] <wols> ekontsevoy: man dd
[18:27] <ekontsevoy> wols: thank you, I'm off to check it out
[18:27] <DRebellion> ekontsevoy, dd if=/dev/<drive> of=image
[18:27] <vasilisa> wols: nah, i just got this: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 5657
[18:27] <DRebellion> ekontsevoy, of course, you can swap them to write the image to another drive
[18:27] <wols> vasilisa: update-pciids
[18:27] <Sl4y3r> where do i find the session log
[18:28] <DRebellion> Sl4y3r, session log?
[18:28] <ekontsevoy> DRebellion: so dd can be used on files like sda? Not just sda{0,1,2}?
[18:28] <DRebellion> ekontsevoy, on any files
[18:28] <Sl4y3r> for errors when trying to start xfce
[18:28] <DRebellion> ekontsevoy, everything is a file ;)
[18:28] <ekontsevoy> DRebellion: how's that different from cp then? (just curious)
[18:28] <DRebellion> Sl4y3r, perhaps in /var/log ?
[18:28] <vasilisa> wols: didnt work, but i found it: DiabloTek Radeon X700 Super / 512MB DDR2 / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / TV-Out / Video Card
[18:29] <Nick__> Hello! Can anyone help me to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy via CD?
[18:29] <wols> Nick__: edit your sources.list appropriately and update
[18:29] <vasilisa> wols: and, AMD Athlon 64 4000 SanDiego Core Socket 939 CPU
[18:29] <DRebellion> ekontsevoy, cp is more of a high-level program (files and directories), whilst dd is low-level (bits and bytes). At least, that's how I think about it.
[18:29] <Nick__> I did that, but I couldn't save the file.
[18:29] <Sl4y3r> ok so what m i looking for?
[18:30] <marin> I will commit shit
[18:30] <Drk_Guy> XD
[18:30] <Drk_Guy> !language | marin
[18:30] <ekontsevoy> DRebellion: seems like the file abstraction is broken here: everything is a file, but some files are more files than others :)
[18:30] <marin> Sorry, But I don't know what to do anymore, I just want it all to finish already
[18:31] <marin> I am struggling since last night
[18:31] <Drk_Guy> What marin?
[18:31] <vasilisa> so I have an Athlon 64 4000 and a Radeon X700 512 mb... and thats not enough to record my desktop?
[18:31] <wols> marin: unless you do a proper problem description you won't get it to work or us to help you
[18:31] <Drk_Guy> vasilisa, make sure the encoding is done AFTER you captured everything
[18:31] <marin> My stupid WLAN, my network controller BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI dissapeared again, it is not on iwconfig, I don't know what I did
[18:32] <vasilisa> Drk_Guy: Already done that
[18:32] <DRebellion> ekontsevoy, well, technically there are only three types of file: directories, files, and special files.
[18:32] <marin> I downloaded every possible version, alternate cd, etc...
[18:32] <marin> I can't think anymore properly
[18:32] <vasilisa> I wanted to make a nice video of my program :<
[18:32] <DRebellion> marin, try fedora
[18:32] <Miranda> okay I was here a couple of hours ago and I am wondering if a 5GB HD is sufficient memory to install ubuntu
[18:33] <aechols> Miranda, yes
[18:33] <Drk_Guy> Miranda, yes, but you won't have enuff space for more software
[18:33] <Miranda> aechols: okay, so what is the RAM limitation?
[18:33] <aechols> it is 256
[18:33] <n-iCe> just add your tn5250 start command to /etc/rc.local or some other such boot sequence daemon. this is far safer than trying to get a user to automatically log in on a server.
[18:33] <vasilisa> Wait... maybe its my program c.c... it seems to record everything else fine
[18:33] <DRebellion> Miranda, I run on 256. It is fine.
[18:34] <aechols> and i believe 1ghz processor
[18:34] <n-iCe> what means?
[18:34] <narayan> Hi all, can I ask about running a game using WINE?
[18:34] <DRebellion> Miranda, 5gb is also good if you trim excess fat.
[18:34] <remu> hey everyone, I'm having nvidia driver issues. I had no problems earlier when I was using the latest nvidia drivers through envyng, but then after a restart, I'm greeted with a blank screen at login. I've tried numerous things, including putting "Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"" in xorg, as well as trying to use the restricted drivers manager instead of envyng, as well as installing the driver using nvidia's script. I even reinstal
[18:34] <remu> led ubuntu but the problem still remains. It's been about a day or two since this problem started occuring, and I really don't like using the vesa drivers, so if someone knows how I can fix this, that would be awsome!
[18:34] <shing`> Is there an ubuntu install that doesn't come with gnome? So I can setup my choice of WM
[18:34] <fyrestrtr> shing`: the server or OEM install
[18:34] <Miranda> DRebellion: okay, but I am booting it up without making changes to my harddrive. Does it take a while to install?
[18:34] <DRebellion> shing`, well, there's kde and xfce available.
[18:34] <Drk_Guy> remu, weird, i had the same problem as you, and envyng solved it
[18:34] <fyrestrtr> shing`: there is kubuntu for KDE and xubuntu for XFCE
[18:35] <DRebellion> Miranda, depends on your computer's speed.
[18:35] <anteaya> i don't know if anybody in here is responsible but nice work on the printer drivers in hardy,  I just plugged in my hp deskjet and it worked.  Thank you so much.
[18:35] <shing`> fyrestrtr: So the server install doesn't come with a wm?
[18:35] <fyrestrtr> shing`: nope
[18:35] <Drk_Guy> shing`, sudo apt-get install kubuntu dekstop #kde
[18:35] <Drk_Guy> shing`, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop #xfce
[18:35] <shing`> fyrestrtr: Is there any other difference?
[18:35] <DRebellion> Miranda, between 1 hour and 6 hours, I would say as a rough guess
[18:36] <Miranda> DRebellion: ok
[18:36] <Drk_Guy> remu, did you uninstall apt's nvidia before nvidia's official driver?
[18:36] <narayan> Is there a separate channel for WINE?
[18:36] <Drk_Guy> narayan, #winehq
[18:36] <aechols> Miranda: it is a pretty quick install
[18:36] <Drk_Guy> aechols, if you have a fast comp
[18:37] <Sl4y3r> still wondering why using fluxbox would break xfce
[18:37] <Drk_Guy> aechols, it took 15 minutes here, with alternate CSD
[18:37] <aechols> just depends on how much RAM you have and processor
[18:37] <Drk_Guy> *CD
[18:37] <aechols> Right
[18:37] <Sl4y3r> any help would be greatly appreciated
[18:37] <aechols> I use Fedora and Ubuntu
[18:37] <Drk_Guy> Sl4y3r, Shared libraries?
[18:37] <aechols> Ubuntu was a much faster install
[18:37] <Drk_Guy> aechols, RPM FTL
[18:37] <aechols> sshhh, Drk_Guy :)
[18:37] <aechols> lol
[18:38]  * Drk_Guy is compiling wine, and can run compiz with no serious performance hit
[18:38] <zapraf> xlcfg -g
[18:38] <Drk_Guy> XD aechols
[18:38] <trackpez> can anyone tell me why my shared NFS folder now is empty when im browsing hte mounted folder in /media?
[18:38] <aechols> I really enjoy Fedora 9
[18:38] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: okay I did the live CD, but after showing the ubuntu logo screen...it's now showing a blank screen. is that normal?
[18:38] <aechols> I really enjoy Ubuntu 8.04
[18:38] <wols> !ot | aechols
[18:38] <Drk_Guy> Miranda, blank screen?
[18:39] <tondrej2> Hi, I have a Linux partition already I used for Gentoo. My primary partition is Windows XP. I multiboot via Windows bootloader. Is there an easy way to install Ubuntu on the existing Linux partition and not touch my MBR so I can continue using Windows bootloader to boot Ubuntu?
[18:39] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: blank black screen
[18:39] <aechols> Miranda: if you have a slow machine, give it a few
[18:39] <Miranda> aechols: ok, how long?
[18:39] <aechols> is the cd drive spinning still?
[18:39] <marin> I am going to jump, see you later...
[18:39] <Miranda> yes
[18:39] <aechols> What speed is the drive?
[18:40] <aechols> Thanks ubottu
[18:40] <Miranda> aechols: mmm dunno it's a 8-10 yo computer
[18:40] <trackpez> sudo touch: setting times of `/media/nfs-mybook/': Permission denied <--- wtf?
[18:40] <aechols> ouch
[18:40] <Drk_Guy> Weird, Miranda, but, after the boot logo, you just get a blank screen?
[18:40] <Miranda> yeah Drk_Guy...hold on let me check
[18:40] <bj_> hey guys, i'm having trouble watching videos on some sites, like break com, it starts with a big play arrow and when i click it, it loads the first 10% and sits there saying buffering, any ideas?
[18:40] <aechols> Drk_Guy: it is probably taking its time to boot
[18:41] <aechols> Miranda: how long has it been on this blank screen
[18:41] <aechols> ?
[18:41] <Drk_Guy> aechols, i don't think so, gdm should start and login automatically
[18:41] <joeKr> If "man cdrecord" does not exist, how can I type something like "cdrecord --help | less" (displays, but it won't scroll back)?
[18:41] <aechols> Yes
[18:41] <robix998> hi guys
[18:41] <Kane1> hey guys, when i launch wine my screen goes all blurry and pixelated/fragmented
[18:41] <trackpez> sudo touch: setting times of `/media/nfs-mybook/': Permission denied <--- wtf? I CANT move/create anything in my NFS shared folder, yet I did chmod 755 any ideas?
[18:41] <Drk_Guy> joeKr, compiled from src?
[18:41] <aechols> Miranda: do a ctrl+alt+F1
[18:42] <Drk_Guy> Kanel, #winehq
[18:42] <joeKr> Drk_Guy: no, regular install
[18:42] <zerogate> wols, works now with the 169.12 drivers...
[18:42] <bullgard4> Miranda: 5 GB is enough for the operating system proper but not enough for much additional software.
[18:42] <Drk_Guy> joeKr, Then the DEB was badly installed/badly done
[18:42] <Miranda> ok hold on...it's 6.4 GB
[18:42] <Kane1> i been looking there but didnt find anything yet
[18:42] <zerogate> wols, which commands did you tell me to type in? i forgot (one was lspci and the other one?)
[18:43] <wols> zerogate: I doN't do envy support. neither does this channel. have a nice day
[18:43] <legend2440> joeKr: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/man/cdrecord-2.0.html
[18:43] <Kane1> #winehq
[18:43] <kash> hi guys
[18:43] <Kane1> balls
[18:43] <Miranda> and the disc is prob. spinning at 30 to 32
[18:43] <kash> packages.ubuntu.com down
[18:43] <zerogate> wols, i'm not talking about envy
[18:43] <aechols> Miranda: when you get the ctrl+atl+F1, type gdm and see what happens
[18:43] <Drk_Guy> !envyng | wols EnvyNG IS supported, Envy is not
[18:43] <Drk_Guy> !envyng | wols -- EnvyNG IS supported, Envy is not
[18:44] <Drk_Guy> !envyng | wols
[18:44] <trackpez> sudo touch: setting times of `/media/nfs-mybook/': Permission denied <--- wtf? I CANT move/create anything in my NFS shared folder, yet I did chmod 755 any ideas? heres the command I did: "sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.169:/shares/internal/PUBLIC /media/nfs-mybook/" <--- but it wont let me create or move anything
[18:44] <bj_> anyone able to help with videos on sites not working, i think flash?
[18:44] <joeKr> Drk_Guy: Sorry, this is still a 6.06
[18:44] <wols> Drk_Guy: I did NOT say envy-ng, even tho I don't support that either
[18:44] <wols> Drk_Guy: start learning to read before correcting others, ok?
[18:44] <joeKr> Drk_Guy: Oh no it's not, sorry again
[18:45] <zerogate> wols, you seem to get aggressive as soon as you get confronted with envy. why is this?
[18:45] <joeKr> Drk_Guy: It is an 8.04, my mistake
[18:45] <Drk_Guy> lol, sorry wols
[18:45] <wols> zerogate: it breaks your ubuntu. we cannot support that
[18:45] <wols> !envy | zerogate
[18:45] <Drk_Guy> k joe_
[18:45] <Drk_Guy> joeKr,
[18:45] <wols> zerogate: it was another factoid, changed now
[18:45] <rexus> hi guys, this is my first time using ubuntu, and currently I'm using ubuntu 8.04.1
[18:46] <rexus> previously I use fedora core 6
[18:46] <Otacon22> how can i do to really format and delete ALL from an harddisk?
[18:46] <fyrestrtr> rexus: welcome to the easy linux.
[18:46] <fyrestrtr> Otacon22: sudo rm -rf /
[18:46] <rexus> thanks
[18:46] <Myrtti> !danger
[18:46] <Drk_Guy> NO Otacon22
[18:46] <Drk_Guy> DONT DO IT
[18:46] <rexus> but I had a strange experience, it is so hard for me to enter to packages.ubuntu.com
[18:46] <bullgard4> rexus: Welcome to Ubuntu!
[18:47] <Drk_Guy> fyrestrtr, PLEASE, don't tell ppl that
[18:47] <Otacon22> i know what is that -.-
[18:47] <rexus> seems like the site is under a heavy load or something
[18:47] <fyrestrtr> wth
[18:47] <Myrtti> fyrestrtr: TUT-TUT
[18:47] <fyrestrtr> oh wait, I forgot about that one :/
[18:47] <Otacon22> the fact is that i have created new partitions with cfdisk, but I/O Error on disk persists
[18:47] <Myrtti> fyrestrtr: #ubuntu-ops, please
[18:47] <tesseracter_> hi. multiple music players are playing songs only around 30 seconds, then switching to the next song. its on a external hard drive. what should i use to check if the hard drive is OK? if i unmount and remount the songs skips at a new spot.
[18:48] <trackpez> its not dangerous if you ask me
[18:48] <Drk_Guy> Otacon22, Try using GParted
[18:48] <trackpez> it only deletes the pwd path
[18:48] <trackpez> sure if youre in a sys path its bad
[18:48] <Myrtti> trackpez: DROP IT
[18:48] <Otacon22> Drk_Guy, gparted uses same commands of cfdsik
[18:48] <Otacon22> *cfdisk
[18:48] <bullgard4> rexus: I had the same experience today. My conclusion was that they are working on the server. Next daya you will have a faster access to packages.ubuntu.com, I believe.
[18:49] <rico> halooo haloo
[18:49] <bullgard4> s/daya/days/
[18:49] <Drk_Guy> Otacon22, nope, it uses mkformat
[18:49] <rexus> ow ic .. I thought it was my ISP :)
[18:49] <Drk_Guy> Otacon22, err... mkfs
[18:49] <rico> ada yang bhs indonesia
[18:49] <rico> ??
[18:49] <trackpez> :S
[18:49] <Drk_Guy> Otacon22, I.E. mkfs.ext3, mkfs.ntfs
[18:49] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: I did the cntrl. + alt. f1 cmd, and it says "ACPI, no DMI BIOS year" acpi is required to acpi? what does that mean?
[18:49] <rexus> bullgard4, it seems that my ubuntu already equiped with window composite.. where can I find the settings?
[18:49] <trackpez> theres a seperate channel to discuss how to format or what?
[18:49] <scroogey> hello
[18:49] <Sp0t> going to hit the sack, 1am here Bangkok, Thailand
[18:49] <theclaw> I have kind of a strange problem with ubuntu; I just moved from debian to ubuntu, and made a backup of my home directory beforehand; I copied it back, and when starting gnome, everything looks like the old one, however, there are some visual effects enabled (not compiz! the compiz process isn't running at all)
[18:50] <Drk_Guy> Miranda, I think you have BIOS issues, try fixing the hour in your BIOS
[18:50] <scroogey> i am using Ubuntu in VMWare only when I am doing GIT commands its incredible slow
[18:50] <theclaw> I tried to make a "clean new home-dir" for a different user, everything worked okay there
[18:50] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: what's the command?
[18:50] <Sp0t> chok dee
[18:50] <bullgard4> rexus: What do you mean by 'window composite'?
[18:50] <theclaw> but I don't want to re-configure gnome
[18:50] <Drk_Guy> theclaw, /home contains preferences for almost ALL programs
[18:50] <Drk_Guy> theclaw, in hidden folders
[18:50] <rexus> bullgard4, I mean, the compiz fushion
[18:51] <theclaw> Drk_Guy: yes I'm aware of that, nevertheless it's kinda strange that now gnome/metacity has some strange visual effects which aren't caused by compiz
[18:51] <Drk_Guy> Miranda, reboot and smash either Del or F1
[18:51] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: okay what's the command?
[18:51] <Miranda> for "smash"?
[18:51] <trackpez> sudo touch: setting times of `/media/nfs-mybook/': Permission denied <--- wtf? I CANT move/create anything in my NFS shared folder, yet I did chmod 755 any ideas? heres the command I did: "sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.169:/shares/internal/PUBLIC /media/nfs-mybook/" <--- but it wont let me create or move anything
[18:51] <Drk_Guy> Miranda, lol, just press it at boot-time
[18:51] <Drk_Guy> XD
[18:52] <rico> clear
[18:52] <rico> hehehe
[18:53] <bj_> whats the best way to uninstall flash?
[18:53] <wols> depends how you installed it
[18:53] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: it's still loading...should I just wait?
[18:53] <trackpez> anyone?
[18:53] <wols> the "best" way is via apt-get remove
[18:53] <bullgard4> rexus: (I myself do not use compiz fusion.) [GNOME] Menu System > Settings > Appearance > tab Visual Effects. (But this will give you only a coarse selection.)
[18:53] <Drk_Guy> Miranda, no, reboot, and tap F1 or Del keys
[18:54] <rico> guys...  can i join in this room???
[18:54] <aechols> Miranda, what type of PC is it?
[18:54] <rpt> hey i just installed xchat and im wondering if theres a feature similar one to mIRC's perform on connect where i can type in commands and whenever i connect to a irc server it automatically does it
[18:54] <bj_> wols would it be apt-get remove flash?
[18:55] <trackpez> !ubuto nas
[18:55] <rexus> bullgard4, thanks for pointing me ... another thing is, is there any other way I can play with the compiz like the settings may be
[18:55] <Drk_Guy> rpt, it's on serverlist
[18:55] <wols> bj_: no. depends on the package you installed
[18:55] <trackpez> :/
[18:55] <bullgard4> rico: You already joined this chatroom, hehe.
[18:55] <rico> i have a problem with my wireless device???
[18:55] <Drk_Guy> rexus, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:55] <bj_> wols - how would i find that out, i am having problems with flash videos loading, thinking this is the problem
[18:55] <Drk_Guy> rico, unrecognized?
[18:55] <rpt> drk_guy where is server list >.<
[18:56] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: okay I just change the cloak right?
[18:56] <rico> sorry... this is my firts time
[18:56] <Drk_Guy> rpt, when you start xchat
[18:56] <bullgard4> rexus: Yes, there are more settings options. But I do not know, where. Please ask the channel here at large.
[18:56] <HorizonXP> hey, when i watch youtube videos in Firefox, my processor temperature seems to skyrocket, to like, 90C. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[18:56] <Drk_Guy> Miranda, yup, change it to actual time
[18:56] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: and that's it?
[18:56] <Drk_Guy> HorizonXP, It's Adobe's fault, it uses CPU too much
[18:56] <Drk_Guy> Miranda, Maybe
[18:57] <ping-timeout> Tach auch
[18:57] <HorizonXP> Drk_Guy: So i just have to live with it?
[18:57] <Drk_Guy> HorizonXP, afaik
[18:57] <alex-weej> HorizonXP: Adobe's flash player doesn't use hardware acceleration.
[18:57] <koopa2008> hi guys, is there any other web where i can find nice gnome themes besides gnome-look?
[18:57] <alex-weej> HorizonXP: but if you try version 10 beta it seems to be a bit better now.
[18:58] <rpt> drk_guy i stil can't find it :( im sorry
[18:58] <Drk_Guy> rpt, The list where it says Freenode, EnterTheGame....
[18:58] <HorizonXP> thanks guys. i think i might just use Totem's built-in plugin, might be better
[18:58] <n-iCe> what's the package to the elemental sourcer for compile?
[18:59] <rpt> drk_guy what im trying to do is whenever i connect to freenode i want it to perfrom /join #ubuntu
[18:59] <rico> halo haloo
[18:59] <Trollinator> can somebody please tell me what version of grep (as shown by apt-cache) Ubuntu ships?
[18:59] <Drk_Guy> rpt, Ctrl +S

[19:00] <martha> hi... I installed ubuntu, then turned the thing on in hardware-drivers... then it was fucked up.. I rebooted savemode corrected it.. I don´t need it turned on, but now everything is really slow (before it was fast) anyway to return to default instal setting ?
[19:00] <Drk_Guy> rpt, BTW, try typing drk and pressing TAB
[19:00] <bj_> wols - how would i find out what flash im running
[19:00] <rico> i can't play vcd in my hardy?

[19:01] <Drk_Guy> rpt, lol, anyway, add this network
[19:01] <Drk_Guy> rpt, irc.freenode.net
[19:02] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: by installing the live CD is it best to just install ubuntu with changes or without changes to HD, since it is an old computer
[19:02] <bj_> how would i find out what flash apt i am using?
[19:02] <Drk_Guy> Miranda, How is it'
[19:02] <Drk_Guy> ?
[19:02] <n-iCe> build-essentials how is the correct name?
[19:02] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: 64 RAM, 6.4 GB
[19:02] <Drk_Guy> !info build-essential | n-iCe
[19:02] <Ahadiel> bj_, In firefox open a new tab and go to "about:plugins".
[19:03] <n-iCe> right, thanks
[19:03] <Drk_Guy> Miranda, so, make an ext3 partition andi install
[19:03] <Trollinator> would *somebody* *please* run "apt-cache show grep | grep -i version" and tell me what it says?
[19:03] <Trollinator> on ubuntu 8.04 that is.
[19:03] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: how do I do that?
[19:04] <cypherdelic> hello can somebody hear me? please respond
[19:04] <Drk_Guy> Miranda, Alt+F2 gparted
[19:04] <Drk_Guy> :)
[19:04] <martha> ﻿hi... I installed ubuntu, then turned the thing on in hardware-drivers... then it was fucked up.. I rebooted savemode corrected it.. I don´t need it turned on, but now everything is really slow (before it was fast) anyway to return to default instal setting ?
[19:04] <Miranda> Drk_Guy: this is before or after the install?
[19:04] <bj_> ahadiel  thank you, now that i see what, how would i go about changing it? what would you recommend to use?
[19:04] <Trollinator> cypherdelic: not as long as you don't tell people what you need help with
[19:04] <rpt860> Drk_Guy,  how can i join multiple channels do i have to put a comman after the first one or something?
[19:04] <MattJ> Trollinator: Version: 2.5.3~dfsg-3
[19:04] <Trollinator> MattJ: thanks.
[19:04] <suselin> martha: soap
[19:04] <Drk_Guy> rpt860, /j #ubuntu #winehq ...
[19:04] <MattJ> Trollinator: you about packages.ubuntu.com?

[19:05] <Trollinator> MattJ: it's down.
[19:05] <Ahadiel> bj_, Changing it to what?
[19:05] <martha> suselin: ?
[19:05] <MattJ> ah
[19:06] <bj_> ahadiel - something that works better.  I'm using application/x-shockwave-flash but some flash videos just sit there.  I was thinking it was the flash plugin
[19:06] <takeshi> part
[19:07] <Niedra> Hey, I have 2 sound cards, but how can I set the default one ?
[19:07] <openros> How to manually on the Wireless Lan, (any commands?)
[19:07] <Ahadiel> bj_, The open source alternatives are no where near the level of Adobe Flash.
[19:07] <rpt> Drk_Guy,  i can't join multiple channels in the edit tabl
[19:07] <marlun> Is there a way to download a dictionary that I can use offline in Ubuntu? Would be great if it was terminal based.
[19:07] <Drk_Guy> rpt, connect commands
[19:07] <openros> I mean, i switched on the Wireless buttom after booting and it i want to enable my Wireless Lan with some commands
[19:08] <bj_> ahadiel ok, maybe thats not my problem, when flash videos load, it shows a big "play" arrow, whys this?
[19:08] <rpt> Drk_Guy,  in there it says channels to join so i put #ubuntu and #hardware only the #ubuntu works
[19:08] <bullgard4> file:///usr/share/doc/debian-policy/fhs/fhs-2.3.html does not mention the /usr/local/src/ directory. Why?
[19:08] <Kelen> How to got IP while i was chatting with a friend by IM tools? i wanna help he with ssh.
[19:08] <Ahadiel> bj_, What site are you trying to load? And perhaps the "play" arrow is just for that site?
[19:08] <Drk_Guy> rpt, idk
[19:09] <Drk_Guy> rpt, #xchat can help you better
[19:09] <rpt> #xchat
[19:09] <rpt> ok thank you
[19:09] <Drk_Guy> Kelen, tell him to go whatismyip.org
[19:09] <martha> nobody knows?? :(
[19:09] <Drk_Guy> what martha
[19:09] <Drk_Guy> ?
[19:09] <bj_> ahadiel many sites, but right now i'm trying break.com when i click the arrow, it loads a bit, but just sits there
[19:09] <martha> ﻿hi... I installed ubuntu, then turned the thing on in hardware-drivers... then it was fucked up.. I rebooted savemode corrected it.. I don´t need it turned on, but now everything is really slow (before it was fast) anyway to return to default instal setting ?
[19:09] <CShadowRun> Anyone know how to stop my panels from spanning across both my displays?
[19:09] <openros> ﻿I mean, i switched on the Wireless buttom after booting and if i want to enable my Wireless Lan with some commands
[19:10] <wols> martha: nvidia card?
[19:10] <martha> Drk_Guy: now I turned of visual effects, and itś ok.. but it would be nice if at least the second setting would work fluent
[19:10] <martha> no.. ati
[19:10] <Drk_Guy> openros, You don't have LAN?
[19:10] <Ahadiel> bj_, How did you install flash to begin with?
[19:10] <wols> martha: use the "radeon" driver then not VESA
[19:10] <martha> wols: where could I check that?
[19:10] <Drk_Guy> martha, sudo apt-get install fglrx
[19:10] <bj_> ahadiel i believe sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[19:10] <wols> martha: what ati chip?
[19:10] <openros> My Lan is enabled, but wireless lan is not getting enabled
[19:10] <Drk_Guy> I think it's like that
[19:10] <Kelen> Drk_Guy: OK, i will try this way..
[19:10] <wols> martha: xorg.conf for example
[19:11] <openros> ﻿My Lan is enabled, but wireless lan is not getting enabled,
[19:11] <openros> In my Network settings i dont have Wireless Lan
[19:11] <SomethingGeneric> this is probably a dumb question, but I can't install because I have another computer mounte via NFS, and I can't unmount the directory either ?
[19:11] <Ahadiel> bj_, Strange, not sure what else to tell you. Does Youtube give you the same problem?
[19:12] <martha> wols: where is the xorg.conf?
[19:12] <chalcedony> hi martha
[19:12] <annie_g> Hi - Is there an easy way to change the boot order ? - Have Hardy Heron and Windows - Need Window's to be the default start-up?
[19:12] <martha> hi chalcedony
[19:12] <bj_> ahadiel youtube gives me the same arrow button, but loads after i click it
[19:12] <chalcedony> try #x.org maybe martha
[19:12] <martha> chalcedony: no...
[19:13] <Niedra> annie_g, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:13] <openros> can anybody help me, in enabling my wireless lan
[19:13] <bj_> ahadiel is it worth uninstalling and reinstalling flash?
[19:13] <Ahadiel> bj_, Worth a shot.
[19:13] <martha> Drk_Guy: the package could not be found
[19:13] <Niedra> Hey, I have 2 sound cards, but how can I set the default one ?
[19:13] <Drk_Guy> martha, apt-cache search ati
[19:13] <annie_g> Niedra: Pretty much a noob w/linux - can you give a little more detail?
[19:14] <Drk_Guy> that might help
[19:14] <chalcedony> has anyone had experience running linux in a buffalo router, ours has failed and won't reset by unplugging it. i'm looking for options?
[19:14] <martha> Drk_Guy:  HUUUUUGE list
[19:14] <Drk_Guy> openros, undetected chipset?
[19:14] <Niedra> annie_g, open terminal and write sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:14] <Niedra> it will open text aditor
[19:14] <Drk_Guy> martha, then: apt-cache search ati | grep frglx
[19:14] <annie_g> ok
[19:14] <Niedra> scroll till end and you should get the idea
[19:14] <martha> the xorg.conf was somewere is /etc right?
[19:14] <Drk_Guy> martha, /etc/X11
[19:15] <martha> Drk_Guy: nothing comes up
[19:15] <luca> hi, how can i remove a module at starting?
[19:15] <openros> Some times, when i boot keeping the wireless switch on it gets detected, sometimes it doesnt
[19:15] <Drk_Guy> martha, then: apt-cache search ati | grep driver
[19:15] <Drk_Guy> lol
[19:15] <openros> so is there any command to mannually enable it...
[19:15] <tingle> my laptop stresses from ubuntu load so every x mins my fans start spinning like crazy for a min or so cant i just turn the fans on for ever?
[19:15] <openros> If i switch the button on, after boot time also the same case,
[19:15] <rexus> had enough with compiz :)
[19:15] <Drk_Guy> openros, just tell me, is your chipset detected¡?
[19:16] <martha> Drk_Guy: the xorg.conf says ¨configured device¨
[19:16] <Drk_Guy> martha, that's the deafult
[19:16] <openros> How can i checkhthat
[19:16] <martha> Drk_Guy: but itś slower then before.. :(
[19:16] <Drk_Guy> martha, go system -> administration -> restricted drivers
[19:16] <Drk_Guy> And check all that apply
[19:16] <Ashfire908> Could someone recommend one of the backup programs in the repos?
[19:16] <__yy> tingle: there's a file in /proc/something that you can write to to turn the fan on.  You can set up a cron job to write to it every 5 minutes or so to keep the fan on forever
[19:17] <annie_g> Niedra: Ok - so the "#" symbols are rem statements correct? So I would just edit order and move Windows boot info up in the list correct?
[19:17] <prince_jammys> PriceChild: I was 'opped' ? I didn't even know.
[19:17] <martha> Drk_Guy: there I see the ati-accellerated driver (turned off)
[19:17] <OasisGames> Well, I'm still not getting any luck even with the envyng setup. X starts, GDM usually starts, but I get a kernel panic when I go to log in (and there are a bunch of white boxes on the screen). Usually, with an uninterrupted boot, the kernel panic occurs on the nvidia logo after 3/4 of a rotation of the waiting cursor.
[19:17] <martha> but when I turn it on, my screen turns black (mode can´t be displayed)
[19:18] <Drk_Guy> martha, check it
[19:18] <openros> I went to System->Administratos -> hardware drivers
[19:18] <Niedra> # are comments, but move the windows block of text up
[19:18] <martha> then I recovered, and everything was slow
[19:18] <openros> i couldnt find anything there
[19:18] <martha> Drk_Guy: but then I will fuck up the screen
[19:18] <Drk_Guy> martha, Then xorg.conf is badly configured
[19:18] <erlend_> hi, trying to set my wireless to monitor mode, but sudo iwconfig eth1 mode monitor, doesnt seem to do it...anyone know how?
[19:18] <Niedra> make backup, if something happens
[19:18] <Drk_Guy> martha, i'm not the one helping you, i use nvidia for life, sorry
[19:18] <martha> Drk_Guy: you ARE the only one :)
[19:18] <martha> well.. ok
[19:18] <martha> nobody else?
[19:19] <Drk_Guy> XD
[19:19] <kenkku> erlend_: which driver are you using?
[19:19] <erlend_> kenkku: that's a good question..:S
[19:19] <annie_g> Niedra: Yes been awhile since I looked at command line stuff - I forgot it was comments - Thanks for your help.
[19:19] <kenkku> erlend_: if you use ndiswrapper, it isn't possible
[19:19] <Niedra> no problem
[19:20] <cypherdelic> I want to know, where the Icon of the Panel-Applet "Menu" is located, so that i can replace it with mine. I dont mean the Standard Menu with Applications Places System named on the panel but the short Windows StartButton like one. Does anybody know where i can find that icon /usr/share...???
[19:20] <bullgard4> file:///usr/share/doc/debian-policy/fhs/fhs-2.3.html does not mention the /usr/local/src/ directory. Why?
[19:21] <erlend_> kenkku: well, I have had it in monitor mode before...so I know its def possible, so the driver should be ok... but the command doesnt seem to do it this time around..
[19:21] <prince_jammys> cypherdelic: i think it's called 'start-here' or 'distributor-logo'
[19:21] <prince_jammys> cypherdelic: search for that in
[19:21] <cypherdelic> prince_jammys: ill look for that hold on
[19:21] <kenkku> erlend_: ok, are you sure you have the right interface?
[19:22] <prince_jammys> cypherdelic: /usr/share/icons
[19:22] <Riotta> hello is anybody know how to make nm-applet (network manager applet) to show my connetcion information, I got internet via wired ethernet card and it was detected automaticly by ubuntu on install just it doesn't show the info about it in nm-applet in tray? does nm need some special settings/cofnig ?
[19:22] <nickrud> p
[19:23] <prince_jammys> cypherdelic: yep, those are the names
[19:23] <kenkku> Riotta: did you try right-clicking the icon -> connection information?
[19:23] <Riotta> yes but it's greyed out
[19:23] <erlend_> kenkku: I had it in monitor mode 5 hours ago, nothing have changed, no interface changes... only thing I have done it turn of the wireless a few times, and run another distro from a live-cd...
[19:24] <Riotta> and really dunno why it should show connection info and stuff in the right click menu
[19:24] <kenkku> erlend_: ok, is there any error message? does it say it was unsuccessful?
[19:24] <marin> OMG, I am CRAZY, please look at step 4. why this guy want's taht I remove fwcutter and ndiswrapper when they are not even Installed, I reinstalled Ubuntu in pass 24 hours 10 times, help me I will do something to myself, I am loosing control!!! :( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=769990

[19:26] <kenkku> erlend_: use pastebin.ubuntu.com
[19:26] <kenkku> erlend_: I most probably can't help you, but I'll try

[19:27] <rexus> exit
[19:27] <__yy> rexus: you can try seaching for .deb files with    find / -name \*.deb 2>/dev/null   you should be able to figure it out from that

[19:43] <donax> but to the console ?
[19:43] <I_Am> Myrtti: i check my disk manualy though
[19:43] <I_Am> and it still checks them every 30 boots
[19:43] <kenkku> esteth: wien compiling from source, you generally need the -dev packages also. so try libxml2-dev

[20:20] <faltoo> hi guys. sorry, if this is stupid question, but I'm trying to get the ethernet card on my dell vostra 1510 to work. I read here (http://www.stupent.at/2008/06/22/ubuntu-linux-on-a-dell-vostro-1510-a-review/) that I might have to pass pci=nomsi as a parameter to the kernel.
[20:20] <faltoo> how do I do that?
[20:21] <sisto> when the menu shows up
[20:21] <sisto> press e
[20:21] <sisto> then type that
[20:21] <sisto> then press enter
[20:21] <sisto> and press b to boot
[20:21] <faltoo> ok, thanks let me try that
[20:21] <sisto> i'm not sure it's b
[20:22] <z0rk> it is b
[20:22] <sisto> ok
[20:22] <prince_jammys> if it works, you can probably include that in the menu at /boot/grub/menu.lst.
[20:22] <z0rk> if it works you need to add that to the end of /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:22] <Grackle> faltoo, if that works then you'll want to make it permanent by modifying /boot/grub/menu.... damn
[20:22] <prince_jammys> survey says...
[20:23] <sisto> you can add it to the lines that looks like this: kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-server root=UUID=091aa715-a11b-4488-a477-214a6dddc268 ro splash quiet
[20:23] <sisto> on /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:24] <Grackle> He should probably add it to defoptions and update-grub
[20:24] <nickrud> ding ding! and Grackle wins, running away
[20:24] <sisto> ok it's nice to know that
[20:24] <faltoo> prince, grackle, sisto: thanks. I'm booting with that now. lets see what happens

[20:27] <sisto> there are some example sounds you can try in ~/Examples
[20:27] <Grackle> If it says "idle," it's probably not playing the station.

[20:38] <crazydan> I just installed Ubuntu on a dell latitude D530.  Everything is working beautifully, except I am having a CPU frequency scaling problem.

Open installing an additional applet, and forcing the CPU freq to 2 ghz, the game ran beautifully.  Why doesn't flash make th

[20:40] <crazydan> Grackle:  Does flash avoid using more than a certain portion of the CPU or something, so that CPU freq doesn't detect the CPU usage and go up?

[20:43] <jc6> Grackle   thanks
[20:43] <corky> sisto, you mean openjdk-6-jre ?

[20:43] <sisto> corky, do u have openjdk-6-jre installed?
[20:43] <riegersn> anyone at all?
[20:43] <Grackle> saltoh, if you're looking for 1337 warez, you can download ubuntu at ubuntu.com :)
[20:44] <marin> sisto, Isn't JDK instaled with netbeans, I just apt-get netbeans !??!!?
[20:44] <corky> sisto, no
[20:44] <sisto> corky, but you do have sun-java6-jre installed?

[20:44] <Shujah> corky, sudo update-alternatives --config java < -- how many options do you see
[20:44] <Voxicles> So I just installed a new nvidia card, and before I was running ati, what should I do first to get both my monitors working?
[20:44] <corky> There is only 1 program which provides java
[20:44] <corky> (/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java). Nothing to configure.
[20:44] <sisto> corky, did u change anything or is this how it came otb?
[20:45] <corky> otb
[20:45] <sisto> so u did have java 6 installed already?
[20:45] <Grackle> Voxicles, enable the binary driver and install nvidia-xconfig. use gksudo to start nvidia-xconfig with root privaleges, set up your monitors, then save the xorg.conf file
[20:45] <YixilTesiphon> problem: lots of errors happen before I get to the installer on a new dell inspiron
[20:45] <Grackle> !nvidia Voxicles
[20:45] <corky> sisto, no
[20:46] <Grackle> apparently I don't know how to use ubottu
[20:46] <Shujah> corky, you already have sun java which is supposedly more stable then open java, you can try this command < sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so
[20:46] <Grackle> !nvidia | Voxicles
[20:46] <sisto> corky, ok so u did install the java 6 jre
[20:46] <Voxicles> Grackles, thanks :-)
[20:46] <sisto> did u try restarting firefox after installing it?
[20:46] <Ch0c0late> :(
[20:46] <corky> sisto, sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so
[20:46] <Grackle> Voxicles, np. If you have any trouble, I'll probably still be around, just /msg me.

[21:21] <askand> nspryspartan: 2.24 http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap
[21:21] <kindofabuzz> riegersn: for the 'dows box: http://www.realvnc.com/
[21:22] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> ok the ati radeon x700 is PCI but it says memory interface has PCI Express x16 lane native does that mean i need a PCIE slot or just pci
[21:22] <riegersn> kindofabuzz, thanks man
[21:22] <hooey> All cards are PCIe now.
[21:22] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> so do i need a new mobo or what
[21:22] <hooey> If it's a relatively new card, you need a new motherboard with a PCIe slot.
[21:22] <hooey> Yeah
[21:22] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> lame
[21:23] <whisper123> Anyone experienced with Reconstructor???
[21:23] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, what cpu do you have?
[21:23] <kindofabuzz> they don't make agp anymore?
[21:23] <hooey> Welcome to the post-AGP era of progress.
[21:23] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> it just says requires available PCI slot in a windows desktop computer
[21:23] <LordMetroid> hooey, I remember seeing a new accelerated card that was produced for the _old_ PCI slot just recently
[21:23] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> is that plain pci or pcie
[21:23] <LordMetroid> Good luck finding somewhere to buy it though
[21:23] <kindofabuzz> so no more agp?
[21:23] <hooey> No more AGP
[21:23] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, what cpu do you have?
[21:23] <kindofabuzz> when did that happen? lol
[21:23] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> pcie is replacing agp
[21:23] <hooey> Any card that's on traditional PCI is going to be garbage.
[21:23] <jorge_> hi
[21:24] <YixilTesiphon> anybody able to tell me what the error ata1.00: revalidation failed means?
[21:24] <YixilTesiphon> and what I can do about it?
[21:24] <hooey> PCIe happened like 2 or 3 years ago, maybe more.
[21:24] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> pentium 4 1.70 GHz
[21:24] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> old
[21:24] <hooey> Yeah get a new computer.
[21:24] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> lol
[21:24] <kindofabuzz> oh, i haven't bought any hardware in like 6 years
[21:24] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> i cant afford that
[21:24] <hooey> I have a Pentium 4 2.5ghz from 2002
[21:24] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> i just want to upgrade
[21:24] <hooey> You can't upgrade.
[21:24] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, so putting in a "new" agp card won't be enough to make your games run well
[21:24] <hooey> Way too far behind the curve here.
[21:24] <kindofabuzz> mine's only a p4 1.5ghz
[21:25] <hooey> Holy crap guys get some new computers.
[21:25] <kindofabuzz> still kickin'!
[21:25] <kindofabuzz> why? this works fine
[21:25] <gluer__> hooster_king: you dont need to get a new computer, your specs are fine
[21:25] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> i just bought an intel pentium D 3.40GHz dual core 800MHz will it work with my mobo
[21:25] <hooey> I have a Core 2 Duo E600 2.4ghz with 2gigs of DDR2 1066mhz, and an nVidia 8800 GTS.
[21:25] <Dethlok> what's the command to run a script in the terminal?
[21:26] <hooey> HooSIER_KiNG|pra: I'm not sure what socket a pentium D is.
[21:26] <kindofabuzz> Dethlok: an sh? sh blah.sh
[21:26] <hooey> HooSIER_KiNG|pra: What do you want to do with your computer?
[21:26] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> 775? i think
[21:26] <hooey> HooSIER_KiNG|pra: Play modern games?
[21:26] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> urban terror
[21:26] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> yes
[21:26] <gluer__> :-)
[21:26] <gluer__> hehe
[21:26] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, you most probably have socket 478
[21:26] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> but im saving for a new box
[21:26] <Dethlok> kindofabuzz: yea its a sh
[21:26] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> so it will not work then
[21:26] <RemsSs> Hi everybody
[21:26] <hooey> Oh you can probably use an old box since Urban Terror is just Quake 3.
[21:26] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, it will not work.
[21:27] <gluer__> hooster: your old pc specs are fine
[21:27] <hooey> HooSIER_KiNG|pra: I'm not sure, go find out what socket your mobo and the chip are.
[21:27] <gluer__> how often do i have to tell ya
[21:27] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> 478 has the pins on the cpu itself
[21:27] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> and 775 just has contacts right?
[21:27] <kindofabuzz> this is #ubuntu not #hardware
[21:27] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> sorry i just needed help
[21:27] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> ill leave
[21:27] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, your specs should be fine to play a quake3-like game
[21:27] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> i would help you if i could
[21:28] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> it will but laggggage
[21:28] <Joelito> Hi all: I have a lot mp3's and I like a tool to create a folder for each album, so I can admin. my mp3, any ideas?
[21:28] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> i just wanted a dual core with a better graphics card
[21:28] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> for cheap
[21:28] <soul_786> Hello, does anyone have experience with Backtrack 3?
[21:28] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> but i guess i should have found out before i bought it
[21:29] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, i am sure you can return it
[21:29] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> ebay
[21:29] <zerogate> o_O
[21:29] <zerogate> how much?
[21:29] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> 97.90 for the cpu
[21:29] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> 30 for the video card
[21:30] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, you could buy a fitting mobo and all will be fine
[21:30] <DRebellion> soul_786, surely backtrack have their own irc channel to deal with such queries?
[21:30] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> ok
[21:30] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, how much ram to you have
[21:30] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> ill talk to cpu here and see what they have
[21:30] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> like 512
[21:31] <zerogate> so when you have a new motherboard which can handle your new cpu and graphics card, the ram will be your bottleneck for modern games
[21:31] <soul_786> DRebellion: Took me a while to find it so I came here, found it now though. Thanks.
[21:31] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> im going to upgrade to like 2X1gb i have a friend that just upgraded to 2x4gb and he is giving me his old ones
[21:31] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, you will most probably need ddr2 - so be careful
[21:32] <zerogate> your old rams are ddr
[21:32] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> ok
[21:32] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> what does a AGP vs PCI slot look like
[21:33] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> so i can crack my case open and take a look at the mobo
[21:33] <dethzilla> yarr
[21:33] <LordMetroid> Wikipedia ma have some images
[21:33] <kitche> HooSIER_KiNG|pra: there is pictures of them online
[21:33] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> yea ill look it up
[21:33] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> ok
[21:33] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, your mob hasn#t got a PCIe slot, just one AGP and a few PCI
[21:34] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> so just get a new one
[21:34] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> ok ok ok
[21:34] <krazy-h> Hi guys
[21:34] <krazy-h> I have a problem with Ubuntu
[21:34] <krazy-h> I can merge partitions
[21:34] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, your new cpu doesn'T fit anyway
[21:34] <krazy-h> Sorry
[21:34] <krazy-h> But I can't merge partitions
[21:34] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> oh yea
[21:34] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> well thanks for all your help
[21:34] <perillux> is there a way to make a program start up using a different link library other than "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" ?
[21:35] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> im going to go see about a new mobo
[21:35] <zerogate> krazy-h, what is your problem?
[21:35] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> any suggestions as to what to get
[21:35] <dethzilla> anyone know how to configure awn?
[21:35] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> type
[21:35] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> brand
[21:35] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> or what
[21:35] <linuxguymarshall> Audacity is not detecting a sound output device
[21:35] <elo_> the internet is a bunch of tubes, it's not a big truck
[21:35] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, it hast to have the socket of your cpu (probably 775)
[21:35] <Blacklight> elo_: lol
[21:35] <linuxguymarshall> dethzilla: Check your System > Preferences then Applications
[21:35] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> yes i think thats what it is
[21:36] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> thats the only thing that and pcie slot right
[21:36] <dethzilla> i tried that, my only problem is trying to add launchers to the dock itself
[21:36] <Blacklight> HooSIER_KiNG|pra: why not buy a mobo/cpu package.
[21:36] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> which sould be standard now
[21:36] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> i already bought the cpu
[21:36] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> im not smart
[21:36] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> i thought i got a deal
[21:36] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> lol
[21:36] <zerogate> HooSIER_KiNG|pra, you could also look at the chipset but buying a mobo with better chipset will be more expensive7
[21:36] <Blacklight> HooSIER_KiNG|pra: just naive :P
[21:36] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> im noob to building comps
[21:37] <msshams> ﻿i get this error when i try to commit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30664/ please help me.
[21:37] <HooSIER_KiNG|pra> ok

[21:37] <gluer__> hooster: then get someone else to build it
[21:37] <krazy-h> I had problems with my ubuntu (before)

[21:39] <USN1520> gluer_: perhaps you could help me fix that?
[21:39] <shindmar> someone can help me maybe in italian?
[21:39] <krazy-h> But after the installation i repaired my 1st ubuntu who didn't work

[21:44] <Gillpy> How do I make queries to my dhcp server, like names and ips of hosts on the LAN?
[21:45] <zerogate> Gillpy, what do you intend to do?
[21:46] <coon> can someone help me out with a problem i got installing steam on kubuntu it keeps asking me to install mysql and im not sure which on to get i got wine installed so shlould i get the windows one otr linux and there are a bunch of choices for linux like rpm ect
[21:46] <shindmar> kompiz.. this is the output: # blacklist based on the pci ids

[21:46] <h2i> okay i enabled root access, now i need root access disallowed, anyone know how to do this?
[21:46] <Blacklight> chances are, if you don't know who or what is on your lan, you prolly shouldn't know... e.g. a school network.
[21:46] <Gillpy> zerogate: I have a machine on the LAN that I want to ssh into, but I dont know its ip
[21:47] <kompiz> shindmar, just coment all and try again... wont happen much if u coment all other hardware u dont have
[21:47] <shindmar> ok
[21:47] <zerogate> Gillpy, you have no physical access to this machine?
[21:47] <Blacklight> Gillpy: goto the machine if you can and open a terminal and type iwconfig
[21:47] <Gillpy> zerogate: anyways I also want to know how to query the server personally
[21:47] <coon> type ifconfig in your terminal
[21:47] <shindmar> but... the $T means that my video card is on the black list?
[21:47] <Blacklight> sorry ifconfig
[21:47] <Baby_Shambl3s> since the smart ppl are here how cna i get multiple sound from my applications to run at the same time and not one at a time?
[21:48] <Blacklight> Baby_Shambl3s: use ALSA
[21:48] <Blacklight> Baby_Shambl3s: oss does not support multiple sound pipes.
[21:48] <kompiz> shindmar, gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist thats where the video cards are
[21:48] <shindmar> ok
[21:48] <zerogate> Gillpy, as far as i know there is no way to make such queries
[21:48] <zerogate> Gillpy, there are just thinks like dhcp discover
[21:49] <shindmar> it isn't in the blacklist
[21:49] <Blacklight> Baby_Shambl3s: which ever application is not allowing this should be configured to use ALSA.
[21:49] <Baby_Shambl3s> Blacklight: the problem is that even with Alsa my box only plays one sound at a time, it wont allow multiple from different apps at the same time and that includes when browsing
[21:49] <zerogate> Gillpy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP#DHCP_discovery
[21:49] <h2i> yeaah, i´ll stick to my searching it seems
[21:50] <shindmar> before some changes that i don't remember.. visual desktop effects were running
[21:50] <crimsun> Baby_Shambl3s: I'll help you in ubuntu-audio-help
[21:51] <Baby_Shambl3s> crimsun: huh what irc is that?
[21:51] <Gillpy> zerogate: yeah, reading the man page for dhclient now, I think you're right
[21:51] <crimsun> Baby_Shambl3s: same irc network, just a different channel.
[21:51] <coon> if i got wine installed which mysql should i install
[21:51] <coon> trying to install steam
[21:52] <Baby_Shambl3s> crimsun: do it is #ubuntu-audio right?
[21:52] <crimsun> Baby_Shambl3s: no, #ubuntu-audio-help
[21:52] <coon> it keeps asking me to install mysql
[21:52] <Blacklight> coon: which mysql is it asking for.
[21:52] <zerogate> Gillpy, who many clients does your lan approx. have?
[21:52] <Spaztastic> does anyone know if there is anyway to shrink a dvd ISO file to fit on a regular 2 hour dvd??
[21:52] <beaver___> re all
[21:53] <zerogate> Gillpy, *how
[21:53] <Gillpy> zerogate: only about four, actually
[21:54] <Blacklight> !mysql | coon
[21:54] <zerogate> Gillpy, so figuring out the ip shouldn'T be a problem
[21:55] <kikau> hey

[22:00] <sarixe> how do i install kde4 stuff from a standard gnome ubuntu?
[22:00] <sarixe> what meta package is it?
[22:00] <bastid_raZor> sarixe; you have to add kde4 repo's to your sources.list
[22:00] <Blacklight> sarixe: type sudo aptitude isntall kubuntu desktop
[22:00] <PriceChild> !kde4 | sarixe
[22:01] <sarixe> thanks
[22:01] <PriceChild> Blacklight: no
[22:01] <PriceChild> Blacklight: kubuntu-desktop is the metapackage, but that does not provide kde4.
[22:01] <skal> s*(S
[22:01] <PriceChild> Blacklight: please see ubottu's message for the correct way to install it.
[22:01] <Blacklight> PriceChild: it for me. how is that possible.
[22:02] <sarixe> packages can be found there, but i don't see sources
[22:02] <PriceChild> Blacklight: well considering you mispelled install, I don't believe you.
[22:02] <kikau> how can i join in other channels ?
[22:02] <sarixe> PriceChild : i followed that link, and it doesn't have sources
[22:02] <PriceChild> sarixe: add the same repository as the ones listed, but with deb-src if you want source.
[22:02] <coon> cant you just go to add remove programs and add kde4
[22:02] <sarixe> where does it say that?
[22:02] <kikau> how can i join in other channels ?
[22:02] <PriceChild> sarixe: then you can apt-get source <package>
[22:02] <coon> or the kde enviornment
[22:02] <PriceChild> sarixe: it probably doesn't, that's just how apt works.
[22:02] <sarixe> PriceChild : i just need bins, but where do i find the apt lines?
[22:03] <PriceChild> sarixe: bins?
[22:03] <sarixe> binaries

[22:15] <trelayne> hi all, I want to change the source code for wget, so I did a apt-get -d source wget. The problem is  that a number of files were downloaded (source package + plus what look like a diff file). ANyone know how I can apply the patch?
[22:16] <trelayne> One of the files is wget_1.10.2-3ubuntu1.dsc while the other is wget_1.10.2-3ubuntu1.diff
[22:17] <jarjarsphyn1> i booted up ubuntu and when i started pidgeon, all my accounts were erased, why
[22:17] <linxeh> trelayne: man patch
[22:17] <linxeh> trelayne: typically something like    patch -p0 < patchfile.diff
[22:17] <kitche> trelayne: patch -p0 < wget_1.10.2-3ubuntu1.diff is the normal the p might change to like 1 and so on but 0 is usually what works
[22:18] <jarjarsphyn1> i booted up ubuntu and when i started pidgeon, all my accounts were erased, why
[22:18] <trelayne> ok thanks linxeh  kitche, I tried that but was INSIDE the directory. Tried it outside and seems to have worked
[22:18] <Blaqlight> jarjarsphyn1: did you recently update?
[22:19] <kindofabuzz> did yuou delete ~/.pidgin?
[22:19] <YixilTesiphon> wow, the hardy installer broke on me only after removing windows from the hd
[22:19] <YixilTesiphon> SWEET
[22:19] <jarjarsphyn1> no
[22:19] <kindofabuzz> well something did =)
[22:19] <jarjarsphyn1> im quite confused
[22:19] <jack> is pakages.ubuntu.com down atm?
[22:20] <jack> *packages
[22:20] <zvacet> jack : it looks like they are
[22:20] <jack> ok, thx
[22:21] <zvacet> jack : sorry
[22:21] <jarjarsphyn1> could it have updated without my permission
[22:22] <zvacet> jarjarsphyn1 . I don´t think so because you allways get a list of packages wich will be upgraded
[22:22] <jarjarsphyn1> hmmmmm, im still confused why all my accounts got erased
[22:22] <Blaqlight> jarjarsphyn1: not unless you weren't paying attention, you get a list to read over before something is done.
[22:22] <Voxicles> alrighty, super lame question, but how do I enable a theme in the emerald theme manager?
[22:23] <jarjarsphyn1> ahhhhhhhhhh
[22:23] <Voxicles> anyone?

[22:25] <rsakuma> Hello, I was told to come here for help getting Google Earth to quit being temperamental.
[22:26] <Kyle__> Sergiu: only if it doesn't depend on other stuff being upgraded as well
[22:26] <rconan> does hardy support install-time encryption in ubiquity or do I still have to use the alternate install disc?
[22:26] <Sergiu> Kyle__, there is new version of pidgin available.. i will try to upgrade it by sudo apt-get install pidgin :)
[22:27] <zvacet> rconan : I don´t know but what is wrong with alternate cd
[22:27] <rconan> zvacet, nothing. I was just wondering which to burn

[22:32] <zvacet> rconan : it is kernel from backports isn´t it
[22:32] <rconan> not sure

[22:32] <sjaakz> hi folks -- packages.ubuntu.com is down -- are there any mirrors?
[22:33] <rsakuma> I'm on 8.04, and when I load Google Earth, X crashes and logs me out. what can I do to make it work correctly?
[22:33] <marin> rsakuma, google earth, did you loaded it through wine?
[22:33] <rconan> marin, there is a google earth for linux you know
[22:33] <rconan> zvacet, is there an easy way to check if the kernel is from backports?
[22:35] <kenkku> rconan: apt-cache policy packagename
[22:35] <Synco^> What command can you run to see that TCL is installed ?

[22:36] <rconan> well it's the one from -proposed so I guess I should not complain
[22:36] <suriro> hwclock shows the time correctly. So, how do I fix this?
[22:36] <HiL> I have had problems to show characters correctly. I often get a question mark instead of a special character. Do you know how to fix this problem?

[22:47] <Sonistar> sorry to bother you all, im trying to half a partition with windows on it in gparted, keeping windows and not making it crash or anything
[22:47] <Sonistar> does gparted supposrt a way to do this or i need another program
[22:47] <Sonistar> (im on a live cd right now btw)
[22:47] <harpreet> Sonistar: half a partition?
[22:47] <trelayne> hi all, if I want to download the package for libdvdcss2 (but not install it) does anyone know how I can do that?
[22:48] <Sonistar> harpreet: yeah, just like the default install does
[22:48] <harpreet> Sonistar: u mean u want free space from windows?
[22:48] <harpreet> what version of windows u have?
[22:48] <DanaG> Trying to upgrade a hardy machine to newer package versions:
[22:48] <DanaG> libc6 gives illegal instruction.
[22:48] <marcules> hi there
[22:49] <Sonistar> sorry, ill explain a bit better mate, i have a 100gb hdd with windows on the one partition, using 16gb space atm.
[22:49] <Sonistar> i want to kind of get 50gb with windows on it and create a new partition of 50gb, without messing up windows
[22:49] <qdii> hey i've tried to code something with OpenGL (using freeglut) but the window disappear everytime I run the program. Any clue on where I could find information ?
[22:49] <harpreet> Sonistar: u want to install linux on that drive and u want to free some space? is that how it is? or u already have linux?
[22:50] <harpreet> Sonistar: What windows version you have?
[22:50] <DanaG> How do I fix that "illegal instruction" issue?
[22:50] <Sonistar> harpreet: ive been using linux for a while, i just want the free 50gb space for another distro
[22:50] <Sonistar> windows XP
[22:51] <Baby_Shambl3s> Sonistar: ah are you sure
[22:51] <kevinO> if i dont install any touch drivers, and th touchscreen is working, what driver is it using? im on the latest hardy
[22:52] <Baby_Shambl3s> kevinO: possibily generic since ubuntu has lots of those
[22:52] <Sergeant_Pony> Is there any way to config the System Tracker to it doesn't use up so much space on my hard drive?
[22:52] <Baby_Shambl3s> why si there a lag on ym net i aint runnign anyhting
[22:52] <harpreet> Sonistar: u wudnt be able to get the space like that
[22:52] <kevinO> Baby_Shambl3s, im determined to find the exact one so i can sompile it myself
[22:52] <Sonistar> Baby_Shambl3s: not that way :D i have 5 different ubuntu installs and i love it. this is an old laptop and i just want to have a partition for messing about with different installs
[22:52] <kevinO> compile*
[22:53] <DanaG> Argh!  How do I fix my broken ldconfig?
[22:53] <harpreet> Sonistar: if u want to install linux with xp, u have to move all ur dada to a side and make sure there is enough room to install
[22:53] <harpreet> Sonistar: then at installation u will get the option of "using free space" and keeping xp
[22:53] <Baby_Shambl3s> Sonistar: oh i see that should be easy what are you working with
[22:54] <Baby_Shambl3s> kevinO: if it aint broken dont fix it
[22:54] <kevinO> Baby_Shambl3s, it is broke :)
[22:54] <Sonistar> harpreet: yes im familiar with that option, the "easy noob" option. Im just wondering if your able to do it in gparted, as i dont want to have to wait for the install then go back and format the partition
[22:55] <Sonistar> Baby_Shambl3s:  working with?
[22:55] <harpreet> Sonistar: unfortunately there is no option in gparted
[22:55] <kevinO> Baby_Shambl3s, the calibration is off and the horizontal (x) is reverse
[22:56] <hml> how do i restore ht epassword of rar file that I forgot?
[22:56] <Jadewolf> you guys think that ubuntu is good to run on a p1-233mmx laptop?
[22:56] <Baby_Shambl3s> Sonistar: you said you want to use the extra 50mb/GB space just use Gparted for that
[22:56] <Sonistar> harpreet: damn, fair enough, ill just install the noob way and then format it
[22:57] <Sonistar> Baby_Shambl3s:  the probelm is making the 50gb of space from a 100gb partition with windows already on it :/
[22:57] <Baby_Shambl3s> kevinO, cant help you there I understood that it was working and you wanted to find out why
[22:57] <mgroman> kevinO: konrath?
[22:57] <Baby_Shambl3s> Sonistar: thats no a problem just use gparted to look at how much free space you cna use, if not enough boot to windows and delete like crazy than use gparted again
[22:58] <Y_2_K> Question, how do I change the name of my computer?
[22:58] <kevinO> mgroman, konrath?
[22:58] <kevinO> :)
[22:59] <Sonistar> Baby_Shambl3s: right, well, 16gb is used out of 100gb, so i think im good :p
[22:59] <kevinO> Baby_Shambl3s, nope i need to figure out what driver its using so i can get information on how to configure it or compile it myself with the proper values
[23:00] <Baby_Shambl3s> Sonistar: see with 16GB you cna do a lot, install puppy, DSL or even small linux
[23:00] <Grackle> Y_2_K, open /etc/hostname and change the name. Restart.
[23:00] <Y_2_K> It says permission denied
[23:00] <Baby_Shambl3s> kevinO: google is your friend or you could persuade the smart people in #ubuntu-offtopic to help you out :/
[23:01] <fazuka_> when i upgrade grub generates the new list but it uses the wrong partition, why?
[23:01] <aj_> hmmmm
[23:01] <Baby_Shambl3s> Y_2_K: you need to sudo that
[23:01] <Jadewolf> Grackle: if you modify /etc/hostname you don't have to restart, just do sudo ifdown eth0 ; ifup eth0
[23:01] <Y_2_K> oh right lol thanks
[23:01] <Grackle> Jadewolf, telling him to restart is easier, but yeah.
[23:02] <Jadewolf> I'm putting DSL on an old laptop
[23:03] <kevinO> Baby_Shambl3s, ive exhausted google ill just hang in here till a guru stops by :) it would actually be off topic in #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:03] <iter> anyone use virtualbox with 8.04.1 ?
[23:03] <iter> it's really reallly clean
[23:03] <iter> it resizes the desktop automatically as you resize the vm window, integrates the mouse with both OS too
[23:04] <Baby_Shambl3s> kevinO: you really should persuade the gurus in offtopic they wont come by themselves

[23:07] <iter> kevinO: what does sudo lsmod show you
[23:07] <Sergeant_Pony> Is there any way to config the System Tracker to it doesn't use up so much space on my hard drive?
[23:07] <Y_2_K> Sorry to ask another question, is there an equivalent of Taskmanager because I dont want to have to restart my computer and I have two things not responding...
[23:07] <iter> Y_2_K: top, from the terminal
[23:08] <iter> you'll want to find the pid (process ID number) from either top or using the ps aux command
[23:08] <iter> then kill -9 that pid
[23:08] <Y_2_K> k thx
[23:09] <Y_2_K> top

[23:24] <InsPYre> is that new?
[23:24] <zcat[1]> edith, you could put the same line somewhere else like /etc/init.d/ so that it updates during boot (or better still, during sutdown)
[23:24] <InsPYre> i thought there was only flash 9

[23:26] <Jadewolf> Operator: Good luck getting help with yor immature attitude.
[23:27] <Operator> Jadewolf good luck with no penis
[23:27] <zcat[1]> edith, not sure. Be careful editing scripts in init.d though because some of them will be running after other things have already been shut off that aptitude might need. I'd stick with the crontab version. Oh.. yo can have a crontab entry for @reboot too so it will update after a reboot.
[23:27] <rpt> !users
[23:27] <Drk_Guy> Hi!
[23:28] <gluer__> operator: what was that about?
[23:28] <gluer__> lol
[23:28] <zcat[1]> @reboot would probably be much safer than messing in init.d
[23:28] <harpreet> edith: u can only hv secutiry updates installed automatic but others is like will be downloaded and u can select the ones u want and from security point of view its good to do that
[23:28] <Drk_Guy> How can i retrieve the number of packages actually installed?
[23:28] <Blaqlight> lol some people just have no class.
[23:28] <Miranda> ok what do I do if the screen is still dark?
[23:28] <Drk_Guy> zcat[1], init.d is safe
[23:28] <InsPYre> Operator: whast your arch?
[23:28] <Operator> x86
[23:28] <Operator> InsPYre, x86
[23:28] <harpreet> Drk_Guy: go to adept manager and it will tell u
[23:29] <gluer__> miranda: your screen is dark? is it a laptop?
[23:29] <InsPYre> oh it doesnt seem to be available for x64
[23:29] <Drk_Guy> harpreet, That's for KDE ;)
[23:29] <zcat[1]> Drk_Guy, not really, some of the scripts in init.d will run after other services have already been shut off so you have to know what you're doing. @reboot in crontab would be much safer
[23:29] <Miranda> gluer__: desktop
[23:29] <iter> kevin_: so just to confirm your touchscreen works ok right now?
[23:29] <Flannel> Drk_Guy: dpkg -l | grep ii | wc -l
[23:29] <Drk_Guy> Thx Flannel
[23:30] <Operator> InsPYre, im 32 bits though
[23:30] <ZmAY> hello, can someone tell me how to establish/configure wireless?
[23:30] <gluer__> miranda: try adding the screen brightness applet to the panel
[23:30] <iter> kevin_: cause according to elo, their kernel module is called elo_something
[23:30] <zcat[1]> You need a howto to add new users?
[23:31] <Miranda> gluer__: no it's not that.
[23:31] <Jadewolf> Umm to add a new users just SYSTEM -> Admin -> Users and Groups
[23:31] <harpreet> ZmAY: what version of ubuntu and wat computer and wat card?
[23:31] <stormzen> Did an update to gutsy; lost the desktop; modprobe appears to be failing quietly:  it won't remove the intel_agp or nvidia drivers when issued as sudo or root...
[23:31] <zcat[1]> ZmAY, if you have a supported card, just click the network icon (two screens overlapping, top right) and pick your AP from the list
[23:32] <gluer__> miranda: whats happening?
[23:32] <ZmAY> 8.04, atheros card, toshiba satellite amd turion64...
[23:32] <Miranda> gluer__: it's installing but not showing the progress
[23:32] <iter> kevin_: looks like it's probably beinghandled by hid/usbhid
[23:32] <kevin_> iter yes it does work right now, just the x of the x,y value is swapped. something which is normally configurable through xorg.conf.
[23:32] <Drk_Guy> Flannel, Removing grep gives a more precise output
[23:32] <stormzen> .. would really like to get modprobe working asap... last night at the office.
[23:33] <Flannel> Drk_Guy: No, because that won't be just installed ones
[23:33] <winkleer> is there a noob way to install madwifi?
[23:33] <Flannel> Drk_Guy: also, it'll include the five header lines
[23:33] <harpreet> ZmAy look into your Hardware drivers manager if your wireless card is listed there
[23:33] <Drk_Guy> Flannel, Ahh!!, lol
[23:33] <kevin_> iter, and the elodriver doesnt work?? or i cant get it to at least
[23:33] <zcat[1]> if you have an almost-supported card, system > administration > hardware drivers, tick the box next to it, and enter your password / reboot when prompted
[23:33] <harpreet> winkleer,  u can install madwifi through konsole
[23:33] <Flannel> Drk_Guy: You might want to modify the grep, if you want to not include only "installed, installed" packages but other statuses as well though.
[23:33] <kevin_> iter, the evtouch driver worls, but it sucks bad
[23:34] <ZmAY> it is, enabled and in use
[23:34] <kevin_> worls/works*
[23:34] <Drk_Guy> Flannel, Ok, thx
[23:34] <winkleer> errr.... sudo apt0get thing?
[23:34] <winkleer> apt-get*
[23:35] <harpreet> winkleer, no u have to install it manually, u want me to tell u commands?
[23:35] <iter> kevin_: so your goal is to reverse the up-down orientation on your touchscreen?
[23:35] <winkleer> yes please :d
[23:35] <ZmAY> but if i unplug the cable net doesent work
[23:35] <zcat[1]> ZmAY, In theory (if the driver is installed and enabled) just click the network icon (two screens overlapping, top right) and pick your AP from the list
[23:36] <harpreet> ZmAY please refer who u answering/questioning since its hard to locate names
[23:36] <zcat[1]> ZmAY, that's how mine worked after I installed the driver for it
[23:36] <harpreet> winkleer: pm me i can tell there  if u like
[23:36] <ZmAY> zcat[1]: in network settings i have only wired connection and point to point...
[23:37] <kevin_> iter, the left and right, but essentially that, and the x,y values as well, the mouse is not directly under your touch. take a look at my xorg.xonf and see how the evtouch driver gets setup.  http://pastebin.com/m5ab7f923
[23:37] <zcat[1]> ZmAY, means your network hasn't been seen I think
[23:37] <ZmAY> zcat[1]: what to do
[23:37] <gluer__> miranda: are u installing from the cd, from memory if you select f4 there is safe graphics mode
[23:37] <kevin_> iter, i set the touchscreen driver to viod, so it will default to the original driver
[23:37] <zcat[1]> ZmAY, open a terminal and type 'ifconfig' and you should see some network devices listed.. eth0 and lo and hopefully a wlan0 or similar
[23:37] <Miranda> gluer__: yes
[23:37] <gluer__> miranda: doesnt work?
[23:38] <ZmAY> zcat[1]: just eth0 and lo
[23:38] <Miranda> I am rebooting it again
[23:38] <zcat[1]> ZmAY, oh.. not good. your wifi drivers are not working
[23:38] <eie> can anyone help me with my mouse?
[23:38] <eie> rather
[23:38] <eie> can anyone help me with virtualbox.. #vbox doesnt seem to be very helpful
[23:38] <stormzen> when i issue sudo modprobe -r intel-agp , then intel-agp.ko is supposed to drop from the list modprobe -l | grep intel generates, right???
[23:39] <iter> kevin_: I guess it ignores SwapX and Calibrate?
[23:39] <zcat[1]> gtg anyhow, hopefully someone else can help..
[23:39] <zcat[1]> !wifi perhaps?
[23:39] <zcat[1]> !wifi
[23:39] <stormzen> !modprobe
[23:39] <stormzen> !broken modprobe
[23:39] <iter> eie: I just setup virtualbox on windows xp as host os
[23:40] <iter> eie: really nice and clean
[23:40] <alpha232> Mornin, havin issues with usb after a reboot, i get the "new device" message but nothing else... it used to detect what the device is.
[23:40] <kindofabuzz> for people wanting to install ndiswrapper, there's a new app out, haven't tried it though; http://easylinuxwifi.org/
[23:40] <eie> iter: yeah... dunno why am having difficultues with my mouse though
[23:40] <kevin_> iter, yeah the evtouch driver basically has the same problem with it being reversed, so swapX takes care of it. calibration is disabled
[23:40] <eie> iter: backward doesnt work
[23:40] <iter> eie: did you install the tools?
[23:40] <alpha232> kindofabuzz: how much does it cost
[23:40] <kindofabuzz> alpha232: umm it's free man
[23:41] <alpha232> kindofabuzz: just making sure :D
[23:41] <kindofabuzz> alpha232: you're on linux, welcome to freedom brother
[23:41] <iter> kevin_: so you can swap the x axis?
[23:41] <eie> iter: yeah
[23:41] <alpha232> kindofabuzz: not always, see connexant
[23:41] <eie> iter: got full resolution too
[23:41] <iter> eie: I see but one button on your mouse doesn't work
[23:41] <Drk_Guy> kindofabuzz, MadWifi's snapshot works better
[23:41] <eie> iter: very weird
[23:41] <iter> eie: the backwrds button?
[23:42] <Drk_Guy> kindofabuzz, It's the kernel module
[23:42] <kindofabuzz> alpha232: all it is a script
[23:42] <alpha232> hrrm i think i botched my /etc/network/interfaces bugger
[23:42] <Jadewolf> eie: What mouse type is it?
[23:42] <eie> iter: though forward works as magnify
[23:42] <eie> Jadewolf: Wireless Optical Mouse 5000
[23:42] <iter> eie: you could probably remap your buttons easily
[23:42] <eie> Jadewolf:  http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=052
[23:42] <juliaaa> poffffffffffffff
[23:42] <Jadewolf> eie: have you checked your xf86config file to make sure its setup correctly?
[23:43] <alpha232> ahh nope just slow
[23:43] <eie> Jadewolf:  iter: i tried few stuff actually from help.ubuntu.com and some suggestions in here to add more options but nothing changed
[23:44] <juliaaa> le le le le caným
[23:44] <juliaaa> hoppaaaa
[23:44] <kindofabuzz> man linux has got sooo much easier!  i remember just like 8 years ago, my first run in with linux, omg, i wanted to punch someone. lol
[23:44] <juliaaa> cýký cýký cýký
[23:44] <eie> this is /etc/X11/xorg.conf for mouse http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/30642/
[23:44] <kevin_> iter, with the evtouch driver i can, but the evtouch driver, it is so bad , if you move your finger in a diagonal line the mouse travels in big squares, so it would be like a set of stairs. so its basically un accurate, the driver that comes with hardy is nice and fluid, just like a mouse
[23:45] <TiredWolf> juliaaa, stop
[23:45] <juliaaa> what?
[23:45] <juliaaa> le le le caným
[23:45] <Drk_Guy> kindofabuzz, lol, thank Ian Murdoch for that
[23:45] <juliaaa> esmerler hovardasý

[23:45] <gio_> ??
[23:45] <juliaaa> esmersen guzelsýn
[23:45] <Drk_Guy> gio_, /server ...
[23:45] <iter> kevin_: so you want to use the included driver, but you need to swap left and right?
[23:46] <l3d> need help , I would like to have my root theme the same as the user theme I know there is a way to do this through the term but I forgot what to type any help would rock.
[23:46] <kevin_> iter, yes
[23:46] <kevin_> iter bASICALLY
[23:46] <kevin_> lol
[23:46] <stormzen> anyone know what would cause modprobe to fail silently?  It's really annoying.
[23:47] <crimsun> stormzen: are you positive it actually fails?
[23:48] <stormzen> crimsun: Well, it doesn't add a driver, and it doesn't remove a driver from modprobe -l, and it doesn't say anything.  Would that be classified as a failure?
[23:48] <Grackle> stormzen, are you using modprobe -v?
[23:48] <Jadewolf> l3d: why would you be logging in or using anything with root login.  Its not safe, thats why ubuntu comes with sudo setup for you
[23:48] <crimsun> stormzen: not according to the description you've given.
[23:48] <crimsun> stormzen: if you can be more precise, it would help.
[23:48] <JaxDragon> hi
[23:49] <Fox_> hi everyone
[23:49] <l3d> non]
[23:49] <l3d> no
[23:49] <JaxDragon> what is a good free dock program for Ubuntu?
[23:49] <iter> kevin_: did you try swapping the 5 and the 4 in your xorg.conf?
[23:49] <Fox_> Quick question:
[23:49] <kindofabuzz> l3d: by you not having a root account is one of the best security features of ubuntu, you just threw that out the door
[23:49] <l3d>  I would like the theme for synaptic to look like my user theme
[23:49] <Fox_> I just upgraded my memory to 2.5 GB
[23:49] <Fox_> from 1 GB
[23:49] <Fox_> my ram
[23:49] <kitche> l3d: is your user theme a gtk theme?
[23:49] <iter> kevin_: in ZAxisMapping
[23:50] <l3d> yes
[23:50] <Blaqlight> im trying to compile idesk 0.7.5 and its asking for imlib2 anyone know where I can find this file/library>
[23:50] <Fox_> but now I'm only using 475 mg
[23:50] <Fox_> and applications are still taking a while to load
[23:50] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, packages.ubuntu.com can help you out
[23:50] <crimsun> Blaqlight: libimlib2-dev
[23:50] <kindofabuzz> Blaqlight: apt-cache search imlib2
[23:50] <kitche> Blaqlight: it's in the repos the -dev package is what you want
[23:50] <Fox_> Do I need to manually set the memory?
[23:51] <crimsun> Fox_: no, you don't need to manually set anything.  More RAM isn't being used for your intended cases.
[23:51] <stormzen> crimsun: Ok, I see an entry, intel-agp.ko in the list generated by modprobe -l.  I issue sudo modprobe -rv intel-agp.  $? returns 0.  I issue modprobe -l and intel-agp is still there.  Same story with the nvidia drivers.
[23:51] <stormzen> Grackle: Didn' know about -v, but it doesn't appear to help.
[23:51] <Fox_> Ok... so is there any way I could take advantage of the extra memory?
[23:51] <l3d>  there was something i would type in the terminal to make the root rsn apps themes the same
[23:51] <Grackle> stormzen, -v just increases verbosity, it can help when troubleshooting.
[23:51] <Blaqlight> kitche kindofabuzz crimsun Drk_Guy thanks :D
[23:52] <alpha232> Can someone help with a USB Serial issue? It used to be detected fine, now i only get "usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2" in syslog and no drivers loading
[23:52] <crimsun> Fox_: run more apps ;)
[23:52] <Fox_> Haha... Ok
[23:52] <stormzen> Grackle: Right.  But it's very quiet, even with verbosity.
[23:52] <Fox_> Thanks crimsun
[23:52] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, :D
[23:52] <juliaaa> hýýýý
[23:52] <juliaaa> ý am lez
[23:52] <crimsun> Fox_: seriously, however, Linux caches fairly aggressively, so you'll be taking advantage of more RAM regardless.
[23:52] <Grackle> stormzen, $? contains the exit code for a program after it is run. Try your modprobe command and then "echo $?" What does that return?
[23:53] <tacone> hello, I have python-xml installed and I am trying to do "import xml" in python but I get ImportError: No module named dom.minidom. Any help ?
[23:53] <Kernel> hello all. what are the recomended apps to convert video file TO dvd.
[23:53] <crimsun> stormzen: what are you actually trying to do?  prevent a driver from loading in the future?
[23:53] <Grackle> stormzen, also, dmesg might give you some useful information
[23:53] <Blaqlight> libimlib2-dev required like 5 other files. funny stuff.
[23:53] <stormzen> crimsun: No, manage my drivers.  I lost my desktop when I did a system update, and I'm trying to trouble shoot it.
[23:53] <TiredWolf> !tr | juliaaa
[23:53] <Kernel> !dvd
[23:54] <stormzen> crimsun: But I can't get very far if modprobe isn't even on my side.

[23:54] <Kernel> !convert
[23:54] <TiredWolf> juliaaa, english only here
[23:54] <Blaqlight> that would probably explain why the precomiled program was horribly broken.
[23:54] <crimsun> stormzen: can you be more precise than "manage [your] drivers"?
[23:54] <l3d>  would this work ln -s /home//.themes /root/.themes
[23:54] <bsund> How do i enable 8 bit modes in X?
[23:54] <ghouly> hi all, ever since i installed a bunch of wireless related packets, i have to do manually make a dhcp request to get an ip for my ethernet after reboot, can anyone point me in the right direction please ? i don't know what to search for =(
[23:54] <juliaaa> TiredWolf  sanan ne lem
[23:54] <Operator> do any of you know of any irc channels dedicated to correct grammar?
[23:55] <TiredWolf> !ops | juliaaa can't stop spamming turkish apparently
[23:55] <stormzen> crimsun: Trying to load/unload nvidia and intel-agp .ko files through modprobe in order to determine why X won't start.
[23:55] <winkleer> sh** where was that leet guy i was talking to
[23:55] <juliaaa> ok ok
[23:55] <crimsun> stormzen: then I think you're misinterpreting what the -l switch does
[23:55] <Drk_Guy> any idea why the exit dialog fails?
[23:55] <juliaaa> ý speak engish ok?
[23:55] <Blaqlight> TiredWolf: shame you woke flannel up :P
[23:55] <gary4gar> !turkish
[23:55] <TiredWolf> juliaaa: that's better. if you need help with Ubuntu, ask here, in English, or ask in #ubuntu-tr, in turkish
[23:56] <crimsun> stormzen: that lists files matching whatever glob you pass it.  It doesn't prevent it from loading, nor does it prevent it from being cached, nor does it refresh the cache.
[23:56] <stormzen> crimsun: No, the -l is what tells me it is still loaded, right?  the -r and no switch is what I'm trying to use to load/unload.
[23:56] <juliaaa> ý speak engish ok?
[23:56] <dblick> Hi guys. I'm wondering about how to use IPv6. I have a computer at my university that gets assigned an IPv4 address that's not accessible from outside the university network. Is it possible for me to request an IPv6 address that would be accessible?
[23:56] <Blaqlight> btw if you /whois them they are already there.
[23:56] <TiredWolf> Blaqlight: i'm not so sure it was a wasted call
[23:56] <crimsun> stormzen: no.  As I just mentioned, -l lists modules matching a pattern in the modprobe cache.  To list loaded modules, you want lsmod.
[23:56] <dblick> Sorry, if that's unclear, the IPv4 address is 172.28.26.177 - it's not a firewall, just a ...subnet?... address.
[23:56] <Blaqlight> TiredWolf: I know.
[23:56] <juliaaa> ý
[23:56] <stormzen> hmm... refresh the cache?
[23:57] <juliaaa> how are you today
[23:57] <glitsj16> Kernel: devede is a nice tool to do that, as is ffmpeg (from medibuntu repo) + winFF (ffmpeg frontend from www.winff.org)
[23:57] <TiredWolf> juliaaa, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[23:57] <Kernel> glitsj16: ok thanks :)
[23:57] <juliaaa> TiredWolf  shut up pls
[23:57] <TiredWolf> !ops
[23:57] <Flannel> TiredWolf: yes?
[23:57] <winkleer> who was that guy i was talking to about madwifi  *crys*
[23:57] <Operator> winkleer, i am the leet guy
[23:57] <dblick> Also, to clarify, my question is about DHCP: is it possible for me to configure dhclient to automatically request an ipv6 address?
[23:57] <stormzen> crimsun: ok.  Looks like you got me there.  Does modprobe nv (for example) tell modprobe I want nv loaded?
[23:57] <TiredWolf> Flannel: juliaaa, see the ops call above too
[23:58] <Operator> Pici, u wer channel operator!
[23:58] <Drk_Guy> winkleer, I know something about madwifi
[23:58] <TiredWolf> i mean the one before the last one
[23:58] <Operator> why did u lose it
[23:58] <winkleer> i just installed the stuff
[23:58] <TiredWolf> Operator, stay on topic, will you? :)
[23:58] <crimsun> dblick: it's fairly unlikely that you'll be able to circumvent IPv4 measures in such a manner.

[23:59]  * gary4gar yanws
[23:59] <Operator> with something
[23:59] <gary4gar> Operator: hehe
[23:59] <Drk_Guy> winkleer, Who are you anyways?
[23:59] <crimsun> Operator: that's the nature of software generally.
[23:59] <matic> anyone willing to tell me how to get wireless working
[23:59] <Blaqlight> Operator: try compiling from source instead.
[23:59] <Drk_Guy> winkleer, only one i remember talkin about madwifi was xirov
[23:59] <Grackle> I think that's the nature of the operator.
[23:59] <winkleer> a random guy requesting assistance
[23:59] <stormzen> crimsun: Any idea how to fix a "fatal: module nv not found" message?
[23:59] <gary4gar> Operator: it works nicely for me, maybe something in you,.
[23:59] <gary4gar> you are cursed !
[23:59] <dblick> gary4gar, I assume that ipv4 addresses are scarce and ipv6 ones are not.  I might be able to ask for an internet-accessible ipv6 address when I can't get an ipv4 one.
[23:59] <kindofabuzz> Operator: same reason things break in windows, it's a computer, most of the time ist's user error
[23:59] <Operator> yeah maybe i am lol
[23:59] <Drk_Guy> winkleer, ok, so, your card wasn't detected, right?
