[00:04] <knome> aacosta, what did you change then? did you update some packages?
[00:06] <aacosta> i mihgt have updated some packages
[00:06] <aacosta> for sure i probably did
[00:07] <aacosta> how do i check
[00:07] <aacosta> if i installed smething that messed it up
[00:08] <aacosta> hy know
[00:08] <aacosta> knoe
[00:08] <aacosta> knome
[00:08] <aacosta> whats up
[00:08] <aacosta> i believe it was you that helped me out installing the array.org
[00:08] <aacosta> it worked perfectly
[00:08] <aacosta> for a day
[00:08] <aacosta> i mustve done something
[00:08] <aacosta> or my roomatee
[00:22] <aacosta> probably should get rid of the array.org kernel right
[00:22] <aacosta> or nah
[00:38] <knome> aacosta, what does 'uname -a' say now?
[00:39] <aacosta> linux eeepc 2.6.28-13-generic #44-ubuntu
[00:39] <knome> 'kay...
[00:40] <knome> did you change the router configuration? i think your roomie might have messed that ;)
[00:44] <aacosta> its still the same
[00:44] <knome> so what does the nm-applet say?
[01:19] <MTec007> finally fixed my sound issue! yay!
[01:19] <MTec007> did every one hear, Michael Jackson died today?!?
[01:25] <muse> that's 3 channels that mentioned that in the last 2 minutes
[01:26] <muse> including this one.. you must all watch the same news channel
[01:29] <MTec007> i dont watch the news
[01:30] <MTec007> my wife and her friends got several text messages, they told me to verify so i checked newschannel5.com
[02:11] <homebrewcider> upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and trying to get nvidia drivers installed, get message saying "kernel modules not found" install failed
[02:30] <aacosta> ey cabry you still there
[02:50] <homebrewcider> upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and trying to get nvidia drivers installed, get message saying "kernel modules not found" install failed
[02:52] <th0r> homebrewcider: did you install the kernel source or kernel headers? (I am assuming you need to compile the nvidia drivers)
[02:54] <homebrewcider> mmm, how do I do that please?
[02:54] <th0r> homebrewcider: first question...am I correct that you are trying to compile the nvidia drivers?
[02:55] <homebrewcider> i'm trying to install them,it's trying to find a kernel module, then trying to download one and not finding one
[02:55] <homebrewcider> with another driver , i get an error saying something about me having gcc4.3, and the driver needing gcc4.2
[02:56] <th0r> homebrewcider: right, gcc is the c compiler. I would first install the kernel headers and try again installing the nvidia drivers, then if that doesn;t work install the kernel source and see if that does the trick.
[02:57] <th0r> homebrewcider: the headers should be in synaptic as linux-headers-generic
[02:57] <homebrewcider> kernel headers? never had to do this before
[02:58] <homebrewcider> ok
[02:59] <th0r> homebrewcider: well, I am assuming the nvidia drivers need to be compiled as part of the install process. The error sounds like a compiler error, the reference to gcc reinforces this, but I don't have an nvidia card so I am only guessing
[03:00] <homebrewcider> can I install that gcc4.2 it's referring to and see if that helps?
[03:00] <th0r> homebrewcider: don't know...never ran into that issue before
[03:01] <th0r> homebrewcider: I have successfully compiled from source a number of times, but do not consider myself any kind of guru in that arena. But my suggestion seemed better than the other answers you were getting <smile>
[03:02] <th0r> homebrewcider: you might try asking in #ubuntu....the nvidia drivers are not xfce specific
[03:02] <homebrewcider> gonna give it a shot
[03:02] <homebrewcider> thanks
[03:20] <sergio_barbanegr> pls i need help instaling open office
[03:24] <sergio_barbanegr> pls i need help instaling open office
[03:35] <knome> 'sudo apt-get install openoffice'
[03:38] <sergio_barbanegr> says coundt fin the package named openoffice
[03:39] <knome> 'sudo apt-get install openoffice.org'
[03:44] <sergio_barbanegr> thnks
[04:01] <aacosta> o yeah
[04:02] <aacosta> ha anyone had any luck getting wireless towork on eeepc
[04:02] <aacosta> with xubuntu 9.04
[04:09] <programble> hey yall
[04:09] <programble> RIP MJ
[04:10] <programble> RIP MJ! THE KING OF POP!
[04:21] <aacosta> someone told me to add this to my etc/apt/sources.list
[04:21] <aacosta> deb backports.org/debian/dists/lenny-backports/ ./
[04:21] <aacosta> but it gives me errors
[04:21] <aacosta> when i aptget install update
[04:21] <aacosta> malformed line
[04:21] <aacosta> uri parse
[04:29] <aacosta> anyone on here
[04:30] <aacosta> aacosta@eeepc:~$ sudo apt-get update
[04:30] <aacosta> E: Malformed line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)
[04:30] <aacosta> because i put in deb backports.org/debian/dists/lenny-backports/ ./ into my sources.list
[04:32] <MTec007> is it easy to make a 9.04 install cd with some things already included like flashplugin-installer   etc     also would like to have some config files pre set up
[04:34] <MTec007> i beleive doing that, in windows is called OEM  i dont know if thats what its called for linux
[05:05] <R1cochet> MTec007: i believe that there is a howto in the forums on creating ur own liveCD
[05:06] <R1cochet> not sure what its called tho
[05:06] <R1cochet> i found it b4 on google
[05:07] <R1cochet> OEM= Original Equipment Manufacturer, i think
[05:14] <MTec007> yeah but i dont want to create a liveCD, i want to create a install cd that will have things set up the way I want them
[05:15] <MTec007> the way i have my panel configured, my theme, my keyboard short cuts
[05:17] <R1cochet> i think it does that
[05:22] <MTec007> wow.
[05:22] <MTec007> that seems a lot harder than i expected.
[05:23] <MTec007> cant just extract iso edit files, add packages and re iso?
[05:23] <maduser> yeah you can
[05:24] <maduser> mount the iso and do the things you want
[05:24] <maduser> then make a new iso out of the mount folder
[05:25] <MTec007> they just make it sound so hard in the howto
[05:26] <maduser> could I get a link to it?
[05:27] <MTec007> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[05:27] <maduser> yeah you still have to do all the stuff in the guide
[05:28] <MTec007> its not worth it.
[05:29] <MTec007> ill just try to make some kind of script i can run post install, lets just hope it doesnt fsck any thing up :)
[05:29] <maduser> its not that hard
[05:29] <maduser> just copy and paste commands
[05:31] <MTec007> i think it may be in my best interest to not mount any thing. i just had to do a reinstall messing around with things above my understanding
[05:32] <R1cochet> u can use gmountiso
[05:32] <R1cochet> rather easy to use gui for mounting iso files
[05:32] <R1cochet> grab it from synaptic
[05:33] <MTec007> i wish i hadnt of deleted that 9.04 iso i just downloaded.  just burned a normal cd from it
[05:34] <R1cochet> ouch
[05:35] <R1cochet> had that happen to me b4 also
[05:35] <R1cochet> so now once i dl the iso i keep it untill newer version comes out
[05:36] <MTec007> lol
[05:46] <maduser> yo im customizing a cd now dude its really easy, easier then lfs
[05:48] <R1cochet> i was just gonna sk what lfs was but then i remembered
[05:48] <R1cochet> is it really easy? just follow that howto?
[05:49] <maduser> yeah
[05:50] <maduser> copy and paste
[05:50] <maduser> up to the customizing part
[05:50] <mikubuntu> who knows anything about isp throttling?  i have att's slowest dsl, the one that's 20 bucks a month.  on all my old boxes i noticed months ago that when i would download anything, the download speed as registered by the download box 'speedometer' was always between 72 kbs - 85 kbs, and i thought prolly just my slow computers, but i got this laptop, which is no speed demon, but it is new, and...
[05:50] <mikubuntu> ...my download speed still showing those same speeds.  but when i do a speed check like the one at speed.fastaccess.com , it's showing much higher speed, like 634 kbs, for download.
[05:51] <mikubuntu> maduser, what app u using for cd customization
[05:51] <R1cochet> its from terminal
[05:51] <R1cochet> i think
[05:53] <maduser> i'm doing it from the comandline
[05:53] <maduser> thats the only way
[05:53] <maduser> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[05:54] <maduser> i'm removing gnome now and adding the lxde
[06:03] <R1cochet> lxde?
[06:03] <maduser> its a lightweight desktop enviroment
[06:03] <maduser> relatively new
[06:03] <R1cochet> ahh ok
[06:03] <R1cochet> ill google it
[06:03] <R1cochet> more light weight than xfce?
[06:04] <maduser> I believe so
[06:11] <MTec007> whats the diff between apt-get and aptitude?
[06:14] <SiDi> aptitude manages the remove operations better
[06:14] <SiDi> and it has different options. aptitude cant do apt-get source
[06:14] <SiDi> but i think apt-get doesn't have aptitude why and whynot's equivalents
[06:15] <MTec007> so which is better to use?
[06:22] <SiDi> i use aptitude
[06:22] <SiDi> but if you used apt-get before, stay on it
[06:22] <SiDi> dont mix them
[07:52] <sandy_> Is Xubuntu 9.04 as easy to get going with web browsing and WICD as its regular Ubuntu counterpart?
[07:52] <sandy_> I'm new to ubuntu but feel its dragging a bit and could use more efficiency
[07:53] <R1cochet> web browsing yea
[07:54] <R1cochet> it comes w/ firefox
[07:54] <R1cochet> u can try the livecd b4 u install
[07:54] <R1cochet> whats WICD?
[07:55] <sandy_> WICD is what I use for wifi connecting
[07:55] <sandy_> it works better than the network manager that comes with ubuntu9.04
[07:56] <R1cochet> havent tried wicd so im not sure
[07:56] <R1cochet> but u can run the livecd, grab wicd in synaptic and see how it works. no changes made
[07:57] <sandy_> It's a very simple program that autodetected my netgear wireless card and got me connected to a simple wifi network
[07:57] <sandy_> I'm not familiar with synaptic but I might give it a try
[07:57] <R1cochet> and nwm doesnt find it?
[07:57] <R1cochet> synaptic is great
[07:57] <R1cochet> same as apt-get from terminal
[07:57] <R1cochet> but gui
[07:58] <sandy_> right...nwm didn't seem to do anything.  It didn't even detect that I had a wifi card.
[07:58] <R1cochet> that could be driver issue
[07:58] <sandy_> ahh interesting
[07:58] <R1cochet> i had to dl broadcom drivers to get wifi to work here
[07:59] <sandy_> did you have to do the same with regular ubuntu (if you used that)?
[07:59] <R1cochet> also did u enable wireless in nwm? u might have to rt click on nwm and tick wireless
[07:59] <R1cochet> yes
[08:00] <R1cochet> grab the livecd, run w/out changes and u can dl packages and try the stuff out
[08:00] <R1cochet> i personally like xfce a lot more
[08:00] <sandy_> do you use xubuntu for everything?
[08:03] <sandy_> I'm thinking of installing XP on a dual boot cuz the multimedia doesn't work very well on ubuntu
[08:04] <R1cochet> yes i use xubuntu for everything, i have xp on dual boot also, cant hurt but i never run windows.
[08:04] <R1cochet> also u have to install ubuntu-restricted or xubuntu-restricted depending on which distro u use
[08:05] <R1cochet> as well to get dvd playback u need libdvdread4 and decss
[08:05] <R1cochet> there are howtos on getting those
[08:05] <R1cochet> they are in medibuntu repos
[08:49] <sandy_> is 9.04 the version to get?
[08:49] <R1cochet> its the newest if thats what u mean
[08:49] <R1cochet> so the packages are supposed to be the most current from my understanding
[08:49] <sandy_> does it support USB right away?
[08:49] <R1cochet> yes
[08:50] <R1cochet> try the livecd
[08:50] <sandy_> will do...once this dl is done
[08:51] <R1cochet> ok
[08:54] <sandy_> do you sacrifice anything in particular by using xubuntu rather than ubuntu?
[08:55] <sandy_> dvd viewing  I'm aware requires some extra steps
[08:56] <R1cochet> no sacrifices i can think of
[08:57] <R1cochet> unless running faster is a sacrifice
[08:57] <sandy_> hehehe awesome
[08:57] <R1cochet> its supposed to be lighter on resources
[08:58] <R1cochet> xubuntu that is
[08:58] <R1cochet> i rather like it
[08:58] <R1cochet> more than ubuntu
[08:58] <sandy_> that's definitely drawing me in...is it difficult installing xp after xubuntu?
[08:58] <sandy_> on the same hard drive
[08:58] <R1cochet> other way around
[08:59] <R1cochet> install xp first
[08:59] <R1cochet> then install xubuntu
[08:59] <R1cochet> not difficult at all
[08:59] <R1cochet> there are some howtos i think
[08:59] <sandy_> really?  any partitioning to do between the two OS installs
[08:59] <R1cochet> ahh thats right first time i did it i watched a video on utube on how to install a dual boot
[09:00] <R1cochet> yes u will have to partition but not untill after u install xp
[09:00] <sandy_> oh ok
[09:00] <R1cochet> when u go to install xubuntu is when u will want to partition
[09:00] <R1cochet> it will give a couple options on where to install
[09:01] <R1cochet> choose resize partition, leave enough room for xp to install apps an updates and other stuff u like if ineeded
[09:01] <R1cochet> then use the latter part of the drive to install xubuntu
[09:02] <R1cochet> after u install xubuntu, the next time u run windows it will do a drive check, all is fine it just needs to see that the size of the drive has changed
[09:04] <sandy_> thanx for the advice I'm gonna check out the livecd now
[09:05] <R1cochet> np
[09:10] <MTecknology> what's the tool xubuntu uses to change audio output?
[09:13] <R1cochet> mixer
[09:14] <R1cochet> should be on panel
[09:14] <R1cochet> if not its in multimedia
[09:14] <MTecknology> R1cochet: I'm running a near clie system
[09:14] <R1cochet> wtf is clie?
[09:14] <MTecknology> cli*
[09:15] <R1cochet> ahh ok
[09:15] <R1cochet> sry
[09:15] <MTecknology> I see it though - xfce4-mixer
[09:15] <R1cochet> then i have no idea sry
[09:15] <MTecknology> thanks :)
[09:15] <R1cochet> no i thank you
[09:15] <MTecknology> why's that?
[09:15] <MTecknology> you helped :)
[09:15] <R1cochet> cuz now i know the actual command for it :)
[09:15] <R1cochet> as did u
[09:19] <MTecknology> ..... how do you set output devices with this
[09:21] <MTecknology> R1cochet: ?
[09:22] <R1cochet> r u in gui?
[09:22] <MTecknology> ya
[09:23] <R1cochet> well soundcard drop down sets alsa, oss...... then at the bottom click select controls and you should be able to select what devices
[09:24] <R1cochet> then after u select them they should show in main window and u can adjust voluime for each
[09:24] <R1cochet> brb nicotine
[09:24] <MTecknology> aight
[09:25] <MTecknology> R1cochet: I select the sound card piece and I get no change
[09:26] <MTecknology> It's set to Auto Gain Control too....
[09:32] <MTecknology> I dropped pulse - we'll see if that helps
[09:35] <MTecknology> GAH!
[09:35] <MTecknology> I Hate Audio
[09:40] <R1cochet> power went out
[09:40] <R1cochet> were u able to set audio devices?
[09:42] <MTecknology> ope
[09:42] <MTecknology> nope*
[09:42] <MTecknology> I'm closed
[09:42] <MTecknology> closer***
[09:42] <R1cochet> cool
[09:42] <R1cochet> sry that didnt help
[09:42] <R1cochet> im not sure what else to do
[09:42] <R1cochet> what exactly r u trying to do?
[09:42] <MTecknology> I can do alsamixer -c 1 and I'll be controlling the right card...
[09:42] <MTecknology> I'm trying to use a headset through USB
[09:43] <R1cochet> ohh
[09:43] <MTecknology> when I pick something in the drop down - it doesn't actually select that as the device
[09:46] <MTecknology> GOT IT!
[09:46] <MTecknology> asoundconf set-default-card default
[09:46] <MTecknology> This command confirmed it - cat /dev/urandom | aplay
[09:47] <R1cochet> nice
[09:47] <R1cochet> congrats
[09:47] <R1cochet> so its working now?
[09:47] <MTecknology> yup :D

[10:16] <homebrewcider> trying to install nvidia card after dist-upgrade, keep getting error message, "kernel headers missing". How do I install them, the headers corresponding to my kernel version are not listed on synaptic
[10:27] <xuxubuntu> how to mount my C: ( sda1 ) in xfce ubuntu ?
[10:33] <R1cochet> u need to install ntfs i think
[10:33] <R1cochet> thats ur windows drive yes?
[10:36] <mikubuntu> should i run a firewall?
[10:39] <TheSheep> !firewall
[13:59] <crazygir> I like that.. "uncomplicated firewall"
[14:00] <crazygir> even IOS is easier..
[14:16] <ocs> hi. how can I launch a graphical program which allows me to modify date and time?
[14:46] <crazygir> dunno, but date is pretty easy on the command line
[14:47] <crazygir> even gives you the format if you don't put anything
[15:41] <ocs> crazygir: in which way (command line) ?
[16:23] <crazygir> ocs: yes
[16:53] <Roybot> totall noob on smb, I installed it, I can ping the computers. Where can I access the shared files on the network?
[16:53] <handjob> Hi all. I i am curently wrighting from 'irssi' and i am wandering how can i make that it didn't exit after pressing the 'x' button rather then minimalize on tray.
[16:58] <Roybot> let me rephrase that: What application do you guys use to browse shares using samba?
[17:20] <Torgoton> Roybot: smbclient -L ipaddr
[17:21] <Roybot> yeah Torgoton i got that working, I was looking for GUI app. I know GNOME and KDE have their own.
[17:21] <Torgoton> ah. sorry.
[17:24] <charlie-tca> Roybot: try gigolo?
[17:25] <charlie-tca> Applications -> System -> Shared Folders
[17:56] <Torgoton> I'm having trouble getting X to work on a newly-installed Ubuntu (Hardy) on my old ThinkPad 560E with a Cyber 9660 chip. No one in #xorg at the moment can help. Any tips? I've tried the vesa driver, but get a 640x480 display of blue squares - I get no cursor, but can log in. No changes in the display, though.
[19:33] <nicklas_> hello, when i burn isos and data in brasero, it dont work, its installed by standard in xubuntu, is xfburn or some other program working better with xubuntu?
[20:38] <mikubuntu> i don't know if its a firefox feature that when i move the cursor up and down, the page moves up and down, but i hate it.  how can i turn it OFF?
[20:48] <slow-motion> hi
[21:08] <maduser> is there anyone here who last night was curious about ubuntu live cd customization?
[21:52] <sandy_> whats the easy way to check memory with xubuntu 9.04?
[21:56] <aacosta> dmesg |grep -i memory
[21:57] <aacosta> or free -m
[21:57] <sandy_> ahh yes thank you
[21:59] <sandy_> Is there a way of changing the way checkboxes look?  I wish the unchecked boxes looked more different from the checked ones
[22:03] <aacosta> have no clue
[22:03] <aacosta> i just googled i
[22:03] <aacosta> t
[22:05] <sandy_> thanx for checking....hopefully it can be done
[22:18] <knome> sandy_, you have two options: modify the theme or use another one.
[22:19] <sandy_> oh apparently the appearance Style was ThinIce which had nice colors but terrible checkboxes.  I switched it to something else and now it's all good.
[22:21] <sandy_> thanks knome.
[22:21] <knome> np
[22:23] <sandy_> any chance you know about adding more program icon shortcuts up top by the firefox icon?  I tried rt-clicking and adding items but it didn't have the desired effect
[22:23] <knome> add a launcher
[22:28] <sandy_> I don't know the command for the program.  is there an easy way of looking that up?
[22:28] <knome> sandy_, accessories -> application finder
[22:38] <sandy_> i am able to load the app, but i don't see a command to use for the launcher
[23:04] <acme64> is there a "remix" for netbooks like ubuntu has?
[23:19] <CRM> Im trying to run Age of Empires 2 with Wine. It install just fine, but when I try to run it, it gives "Could not initialize program. Age of Empires II not detected."
[23:20] <CRM> winecfg
[23:20] <CRM> Ops, sorry
