[12:03] <linxeh> tom__: many thanks - this is the first time ive tried to burn a dvd iso in linux in 10 years, and I find out cdrecord doesnt do it without paying :o
[12:03] <fl00d> Ok well I'm off I will go try it. Thanks for your help you 2 ;)
[12:03] <ahave> well, unrar-free doesnt seem to want to work with me.. so how do i go about gettings multiverse's unrar?

[12:03] <tom__> linxeh: oh you just want to burn an iso... use gnomebaker
[12:03] <fl00d> later guys and thanks xD
[12:03] <dimeotane> linx: you can rightclick an DVD iso file on the ubuntu desktop and burn it
[12:03] <tom__> !multiverse | ahave
[12:03] <ubotu> ahave: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[12:04] <DarK_007> heyyyyyy
[12:04] <negen> burning dvd iso is nearly the same as burning a cd iso k3b will also burn iso's
[12:04] <RPO> where is GBACKUP?
[12:04] <crackintosh> Does anyone know of a wireless USB dongle that works out of the box?
[12:04] <nexousNET> Hi, How do I add my current user to have access to all permissions for /opt/lampp/htdocs ?
[12:04] <Redhammer_the_Ol> hi anybody got listen 0.5 beta to work
[12:04] <Redhammer_the_Ol> properly
[12:04] <Redhammer_the_Ol> on edgy
[12:04] <tom__> k3b is a dirty KDE program though. Doesn't work well in a gnome envirnment.
[12:04] <LiENUS> crackintosh, define "out of the box"
[12:04] <negen> i have no problems but dont burn very much
[12:04] <auTONYmous> tom_: you beat me to it
[12:04] <CupCakeMaster> Hello, i have a lil problem
[12:04] <LiENUS> crackintosh, is downloading drivers for ndiswrapper acceptable?
[12:05] <dimeotane> LiENUS: my guess is... he means you plug the sucker in while running ubuntu and it works... idiot proof
[12:05] <CupCakeMaster> when browing with firefox the scrolling seem to be very very choppy
[12:05] <RPO> can Ubuntu create a bootable boot sector & partition table recovery disk?
[12:05] <CupCakeMaster> and way to fit this
[12:05] <crackintosh> something that does not require configuration for use on linux.
[12:05] <youkilldkennedy> Anyone know why Azureus will not minimize to my system tray?
[12:05] <LiENUS> dimeotane,  windows never does that... and its generallly "idiot proof"
[12:05] <crackintosh> i've got bigger fish to fry today, i dont want to spend time on it
[12:05] <agliv_> LiENUS, should I pastebin my repositories list?
[12:06] <negen> frying big fish is tricky sometimes they burn befor fully cooked
[12:06] <doofy2> is the performace of software raid pretty good? I have two western digital raptors and was thinking of putting them on raid 0. Would this increase me read/write performace?
[12:06] <dimeotane> LiENUS: more like it was made by idiots  =p
[12:06] <billybob> LiENUS: except, when accompanied with an idiot, windows machines keep me in business ;)
[12:06] <nexousNET> !chmod
[12:06] <ahave> will un archiving tool such as ARK, designed to work in a KDE, work in my gnome?
[12:06] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[12:06] <youkilldkennedy> Anyone know why Azureus will not minimize to my system tray?
[12:06] <vrtical> Hi, I'm a newb trying to boot in framebuffer mode on dapper.  setting video=i810fb at the boot prompt doesn't work, it still boots in text mode.  Am unsure how to proceed.
[12:06] <crackintosh> ahave: probably
[12:06] <LiENUS> dimeotane, actually... ms developers are quite inteligent
[12:06] <tom__> youkilldkennedy: we heard you last time
[12:06] <dimeotane> yea forsure...
[12:06] <hairulfr> youkilldkennedy: Is it important for you to use azureus? If not, try freeloader, IMO it's better
[12:06] <auTONYmous> CupCakeMaster: Edit > Preferences > Advanced > turn on "Smooth Scrolling"
[12:06] <dimeotane> but i love to hammer the competition
[12:07] <CupCakeMaster> did alredddi
[12:07] <tom__> youkilldkennedy: probably because azereus is not designed to work in gnome.
[12:07] <LiENUS> dimeotane, look at it this way...
[12:07] <CupCakeMaster> and yet stil lvery choopy
[12:07] <negen> do you have a notifaction area in your pannel
[12:07] <LiENUS> how often do you see a ms developer on irc?
[12:07] <youkilldkennedy> Hairulfr, not important, just used to it.
[12:07] <agliv_> youkilldkennedy, perhaps a problem with java? have the newest version installed?
[12:07] <dimeotane> LiENUS: personally I get a bit tired of the VIRI and the EULAs, and the serials, and the subscrition fees... sooooooo
[12:07] <LiENUS> and how much time have you wasted on irc today?
[12:07] <billybob> LiENUS: i see them on IRC every day
[12:07] <LiENUS> billybob, err where?
[12:07] <hairulfr> youkilldkennedy: Then get freeloader :) Faster as well (a cooler name too)
[12:07] <youkilldkennedy> agliv_: Yep, newest versions, checked that before coming here.
[12:07] <auTONYmous> CupCakeMaster: Is scrolling choppy in any other apps?
[12:07] <Redhammer_the_Ol> anybody can provide help with listen 0.5 beta
[12:07] <LiENUS> billybob, you just killed my logic :/
[12:07] <youkilldkennedy> hairulfr: I'll check that out then, thanks.
[12:08] <dimeotane> LiENUS: it's just less complicated to say, "made by idiots for idiots"

[12:08] <negen> Linuxmint might have somthing going if poeple want a turnkey style of ubuntu
[12:08] <CupCakeMaster> its not smooth at all
[12:08] <LiENUS> billybob, ah, thats different
[12:08] <agliv_> youkilldkennedy, can you restart and autoupdate?
[12:08] <auTONYmous> CupCakeMaster:  Well, IRC scrolling and firefox scrolling are two different animals...
[12:08] <CupCakeMaster> well i would liek tof ix the firefox one
[12:08] <LiENUS> billybob, i mean you dont see ms developers randomly on irc, you dont see sun developers randomly on irc, you dont see ibm developers randomly on irc
[12:08] <dimeotane> l8r sk8rs
[12:08] <billybob> LiENUS: one is a game dever, the other was, but went to work for them for a different reason
[12:08] <youkilldkennedy> agliv_: Yeah
[12:08] <CupCakeMaster> that is my main problem
[12:09] <LiENUS> these 3 groups have one thing in common
[12:09] <billybob> err , different job type
[12:09] <LiENUS> they are all VERY smart
[12:09] <pollywog> how do I know whether I should run a generic kernel image or 386?
[12:09] <pollywog> both seem to work
[12:09] <LiENUS> the only thing really seperating them is the management
[12:09] <auTONYmous> CupCakeMaster: *shrug* could be anything from vid drivers, to mouse driver, to the mouse itself. Hard to say
[12:09] <billybob> yes, they are, you dont go work for MS, and not knowing wtf you  are doing, thats for sure

[12:10] <CupCakeMaster> well scrolling a document i get no problems
[12:10] <CupCakeMaster> but on firefox and opera i do
[12:10] <youkilldkennedy> agliv_: Not responding and I must force quit.
[12:10] <billybob> LiENUS: pretty much, ANYONE who works for, or works on, any project revolving around an OS< or its internals,has to be pretty smart
[12:11] <pollywog> newbie are you installing vmware?

[12:11] <CupCakeMaster> and if it were to be my videocard wher eexactly would i find the driver for me "nvidia geforce 6150 LE"
[12:11] <atomiku-linux> is there a way to see what hardware is plugged in the computer so i can get the name of my graphics card?
[12:11] <billybob> LiENUS: i consider myself a fairly decent hobbyiest programmer, and I dotn think i could hack it

[12:12] <atomiku-linux> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV20 [GeForce3]  (rev a3)
[12:12] <LiENUS> billybob,  granted its been a few years since i've done that kind of stuff...

[12:12] <youkilldkennedy> agliv_: Finding version number hard to find. one second.
[12:12] <djm62> thx all, it's been a while... I thought init had disappeared
[12:12] <billybob> LiENUS: well, ive actually 'researched' writting my own OS, a few times, and no, its not that bad, its just that I dont ALWAYS feel like coding, as a matter of a fact, its been a few months since ive coded anythign
[12:12] <pollywog> atomiku-linux: I just did sudo apt-get install glx
[12:13] <agliv_> youkilldkennedy, help->version...
[12:13] <pollywog> atomiku-linux: I just did 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[12:13] <atomiku-linux> Okay dude, thanks. Installing glx now
[12:13] <atomiku-linux> oh
[12:13] <atomiku-linux> nvidia-glx? okay
[12:13] <pollywog> atomiku-linux: I just did 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx'

[12:13] <CupCakeMaster> where can i find the driver for my nvidia video card
[12:13] <billybob> LiENUS: for one localization is a PITA, then talkign about multiple different hardware platforms, man, thats a lot of work.
[12:13] <atomiku-linux> If my game works ill be very happy

[12:16] <billybob> NDA in effect*

[12:19] <LjL> pukekoe: uh... your *Dapper* doesn't have inittab? i'd understand if it were Edgy, but
[12:19] <pukekoe> eeek it is an edgy
[12:19] <billybob> tom__: yes, but making a confotable living isnt nessisarily a bad thing
[12:19] <LjL> RPO: don't know, but why don't you just do Alt+F2 and type "gparted" (if you have it installed, that is)
[12:19] <spinster> LjL, ok
[12:19] <th_> why is there no Mplayer package in ubuntu?
[12:19] <billybob> comfortable

[12:19] <RPO> can=cannot
[12:20] <pukekoe> LjL : ta
[12:20] <th_> RootSnatch, to change the port that proftpd is listening on :)
[12:20] <LjL> pukekoe: the only think that will be taken into account, as far as i know, is the default runlevel, if you set one in inittab
[12:20] <billybob> RootSnatch: add those hosts to host.deny ?
[12:20] <LjL> RPO: but do you have it installed?
[12:20] <RPO> and I can't find Gbackup either
[12:20] <RootSnatch> I need to stay on the same port

[12:22] <th_> nikin if you remove cache from the BIOS it will be really slow...
[12:22] <andre> I've got a weird problem with ubuntu.  after I leave the computer alone for a short period it stops responding.  even if I leave it alone at the login screen it'll stop responding there.... help! what is going on?
[12:22] <LjL> nikin: try qemu if you want something slow ;)
[12:22] <LiENUS> LjL,  bochs is slower..
[12:22] <tyler_> hey all I just installed a new wifi card in my desktop and I don't know how to activate it anyhelp?
[12:22] <LiENUS> actually qemu is quite fast...
[12:22] <billybob> RootSnatch: anyhow, a script that say monitors attempts to log in, and failures within a certain amoutn of time, get written to hosts.deny, or something
[12:22] <tom__> i have no problems with qemu.
[12:22] <LiENUS> LjL,  i believe bochs will let you lock it at a certain speed...
[12:22] <LjL> LiENUS: well, it's slow compared to programs that use the native CPU
[12:23] <tom__> yeah of course.
[12:23] <LiENUS> nikin, your computer isnt a laptop is it?
[12:23] <AncientMartian> Rather new to this Ubuntu, none of the USB devices are working or seen from what i can tell....any ideas?
[12:23] <Fuori_dal_Tunnel> salve
[12:23] <atomiku-linux> So... is there some sort of nvidia config command then?
[12:23] <th_> nikin, if you just want something simple then run this command a few times in the shell: " ( while true; do echo > /dev/null; done ) &"
[12:23] <Fuori_dal_Tunnel> hi to all
[12:23] <gravelBad> anyone able to help with a tomcat installation issue on 6.10 server?
[12:23] <LjL> LiENUS: that's quite possible, as it was meant to be more of an "IBM emulator" than a "virtual machine" (not that there is a difference, just one of intents...)
[12:23] <Fuori_dal_Tunnel> help for italian user?
[12:23] <atomiku-linux> I tried this:
[12:23] <billybob> RootSnatch: ive never used proftpd, but perhaps it eve nhas that functionality built in already ?

[12:24] <andre> I've got a weird problem with ubuntu.  after I leave the computer alone for a short period it stops responding.  even if I leave it alone at the login screen it'll stop responding there.... help! what is going on?
[12:24] <RPO> LjL, password didn't work
[12:24] <LjL> pukekoe, i'm afraid i don't know much about upstart, you'll have to read a bit about it. i'm quite sure that an inittab will *not* work, though
[12:24] <LjL> RPO: what did it say?
[12:24] <youkilldkennedy> agliv_: Having some weird troubles, my top and bottom task bars died...
[12:24] <pukekoe> Ljl: cool i'll check out upstart
[12:25] <CupCakeMaster> how do i findout what kernal i have?
[12:25] <LjL> pukekoe: start from the link Ubotu gave you. upstart is quite totally different from the old init - that much i can say
[12:25] <LjL> CupCakeMaster: uname -r
[12:25] <andre> uname -r
[12:25] <billybob> CupCakeMaster" 'uname -s'
[12:25] <quaal> man

[12:25] <quaal> azureus kinda sucks
[12:25] <CupCakeMaster> where do i type that

[12:25] <andre> terminal
[12:25] <LjL> !cli > CupCakeMaster    (CupCakeMaster, see the private message from Ubotu)
[12:25] <billybob> CupCakeMaster: term
[12:26] <andre> cupcakemaster: in terminal
[12:26] <BigMac> Hey when I load I get anerror that my x server gui fails to load
[12:26] <BigMac> is there a way to load in safe mode
[12:26] <tyler_> ifconfig lists eth1 as not there but iwconfig can see it but ifup won't bring the device up I'm lost
[12:26] <LjL> BigMac: no. well, there's recovery mode, but that will just bring you to a console.
[12:26] <BigMac> then have it install the default xorg.conf
[12:26] <LjL> BigMac: just type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  and select the VESA driver, for a safe mode
[12:26] <andre> Bigmac, you can do that from command line
[12:27] <youkilldkennedy> Having some weird troubles, my top and bottom task bars died... anyone know how to restore them?
[12:27] <RPO> LjL, 3 incorrect password attempts
[12:27] <CupCakeMaster> thanks alot guys
[12:27] <LjL> BigMac: however... do you have Edgy and third-party nvidia or ati drivers?
[12:27] <BigMac> andre:how do I enter the command line, and what is the command
[12:27] <billybob> tyler_: nic modules are loaded ?
[12:27] <LjL> RPO: have you enabled the root account for some reason? have you ever used a GUI application using "sudo" instead of "gksudo"?
[12:27] <tyler_> billybob, not sure I don't know how to check all I know is that iwconfig can see the device
[12:28] <youkilldkennedy> Bueller? Bueller?
[12:28] <nikin> sry for answering late... one of it is a laptop wth scalable CPU from 600 to 1600 Mhz the other is a 2,4Ghz Desktop
[12:28] <LjL> youkilldkennedy?
[12:28] <andre> bigmac: do what LJL suggested,  if you don't know where the terminal is, you should probably head his advise.
[12:28] <BigMac> LjL: I have edgy and ati drivers because I was trying to install beryl
[12:28] <billybob> tyler: basically, you need to know what nic you have, and what module you need then . . .
[12:28] <gravelBad> has anyone had this issue with a tomcat install on 6.10?   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5489/
[12:28] <billybob> try 'lsmod'
[12:28] <andre> BigMac:  in any case the terminal is:
[12:28] <billybob> to see if the NICmodule is loaded
[12:28] <youkilldkennedy> LjL... t'wasn't me I swear!
[12:28] <billybob> NIC module*
[12:28] <andre> bigmac: in applications>accessories>terminal
[12:28] <tyler_> billybob ok I'll be right back
[12:28] <LjL> BigMac: and when did this problem appear? after you rebooted yesterday or such perhaps?
[12:29] <BigMac> andre:if you listened to what I said, I can't load thegui so I can't access gnome...
[12:29] <youkilldkennedy> Anyone know how to restore the bottom and top taskbars? For some reason they died.
[12:29] <billybob> tyler_: probably need to pip lsmod to less
[12:29] <Qzr> Im trying to install beryl and ive come to the line "Add key" on http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Beryl.2FAIGLX_.28Nvidia.29 and when i add that line and try apt-get update i get the error "E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 35 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list" could anyone help me with this?
[12:29] <billybob> pipe*
[12:29] <RPO> LjL, OK, got it.
[12:29] <LjL> youkilldkennedy: try Alt+F2 and typing "gnome-panel"... IIRC
[12:29] <andre> bigmac: then you must be at a command prompt then
[12:29] <andre> bigmac: no?
[12:29] <BigMac> LlJ yah beryl was bering malfunct, so I logged out last night, then I just booted up and I get this error
[12:29] <phantom> gnome network manager does not show my Intel 2200 wireless network card?
[12:30] <phantom> how do I fix thi
[12:30] <phantom> this*
[12:30] <youkilldkennedy> LjL: Alt+F2 does nothing.
[12:30] <LiENUS> phantom, is your network card working in linux?
[12:30] <tyler_> billybob, Idon't see it in lsmod its a linksys
[12:30] <LjL> BigMac, there has been a kernel upgrade, and ati and nvidia drivers won't work anymore unless you update them.
[12:30] <nikin> how can i add Debian menu to Xfce?
[12:30] <phantom> it did earlier
[12:30] <billybob> tyler_: ah, not sure what to do there :/
[12:30] <phantom> I can do it through the command line
[12:30] <youkilldkennedy> LjL: Any ideas?
[12:30] <LiENUS> nikin,  shouldnt you ask that in #debian?
[12:30] <BigMac> But I was logged out so how would it update?
[12:31] <tyler_> billybob I'll go google around for a bit thanks anyways
[12:31] <dsquare> hi how do i change my main font colour please?
[12:31] <andre> BigMac:  you would've updated before you logged out
[12:31] <andre> Bigmac:  update occur within the last week
[12:31] <LjL> youkilldkennedy: not really, for i use KDE... i'll check the logs if i can find an answer (i suppose restarting X doesn't work?)
[12:31] <BigMac> ok so what should I do to get ubuntu back to working
[12:32] <nikin> Lienus: its an ubuntu problem... coz i have the option i just cant check it somehow. And the intsalled system is Ubuntu 6.10 and later added xubuntu-desktop
[12:32] <mamzers555> hello, this is off-toppic, is somebody from france here?
[12:32] <RPO> LjL, ok, the apt-get install gbackup is complete -- what now?
[12:32] <andre> bigmac, switch the line that says "nvidia" in your xorg.conf back to "nv"
[12:32] <andre> bigmac: then update your nvidia driver
[12:32] <LjL> RPO: eh? weren't we talking about gparted?
[12:32] <BigMac> andre:I have an ati card
[12:32] <RPO> LiENUS, 32-bit to 64-bit is horrible idea?  won't work?  driver problems?
[12:32] <andre> bigmac: sorry, can't help ya then...
[12:32] <LiENUS> RPO, more likely software problems
[12:33] <youkilldkennedy> LjL: How do I restart or log off with keystrokes?
[12:33] <LiENUS> hmm thats weird
[12:33] <andre> ctrl-alt-backspace?
[12:33] <LjL> youkilldkennedy: what andre said
[12:33] <LiENUS> the one instance linux has software problems whereas windows has driver problems...
[12:33] <BigMac> Can someone help me because I can't even boot up
[12:34] <LjL> BigMac, uh, you can't boot? didn't you say that you just couldn't get X started?
[12:34] <andre> BigMac: did you make a backup of your xorg.conf file?
[12:34] <BigMac> andre:nope
[12:34] <tom__> bad decision
[12:34] <andre> BigMac: big no no
[12:34] <tom__> bigmac: run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:34] <vrtical> Can anyone offer me some general advice about booting in framebuffer mode?  Will I need to recompile the kernel to enable this (on an up-to-date dapper box with intel 815 graphics)?
[12:34] <tom__> should fix you up
[12:35] <BigMac> LjL; It starts loading then when it should go to lgin screen I get that error and it says access server mode to view problems or resart
[12:35] <billybob> andre: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[12:35] <phantom> can anyone help me here, I have an Intel 2200, it is not seen in Network manager but I can use it in the CL
[12:35] <tom__> billybob: thats what i said.
[12:35] <tom__> ;L
[12:35] <andre> bigmac: do what tom__ said once you get to the command line
[12:35] <LjL> BigMac: server mode?
[12:35] <billybob> tom__: soudns reasonable to me . . .
[12:35] <RPO> LjL, er, gbackup=gparted
[12:36] <LjL> i'm not entirely sure i have it clear in my mind what screen you're seeing...
[12:36] <LjL> BigMac: you aren't on Feisty, are you?
[12:36] <LjL> RPO: ok, then now alt+f2 and "gparted"
[12:36] <LjL> RPO: (it will probably have to be "gksudo gparted", though)
[12:36] <BigMac> LjL:Nope I am on edgy
[12:36] <LjL> BigMac: well, see if you can just press Alt+F2 or Alt+F3 and get a "login" prompt, after X doesn't start
[12:36] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, I ended up just switching frequencies XD
[12:36] <billybob> BigMac : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[12:37] <Anti-Tedd> Is there a way that I can get my original sources.list back?
[12:37] <alecjw> LjL, yes, it iwll have to be gksudo'ed because it does mkfs etc
[12:37] <LjL> BigMac: if you do, then just type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  and select the VESA driver (as for the rest of the question, press Enter on the defaults)
[12:37] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, 1 sec
[12:37] <LiENUS> http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[12:37] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  switching frequencies fixed it?
[12:37] <LjL> alecjw: depends, the user might well have access to the disk :)
[12:37] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, I think so
[12:37] <billybob> LiENUS: have yo uworked o nthe ubuntu dev team ?
[12:37] <Anti-Tedd> Gotta run some testing though
[12:37] <RPO> LjL, can I reset the root password using the Live CD the way you can with Mac OS X?
[12:38] <andre> LJL: ever hear of ubuntu not responding very well after being left alone for a certain period of time?
[12:38] <LiENUS> billybob, no
[12:38] <LjL> RPO: why have a root password?
[12:38] <LjL> andre: nope
[12:38] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, you using 802.11g?
[12:38] <RPO> LjL, hehehe, well it's there and I seem to have forgotten it.
[12:38] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, yeah
[12:38] <LiENUS> ah
[12:38] <LjL> !root > RPO    (RPO, see the private message from Ubotu)
[12:38] <andre> LJL: dang... tx...
[12:38] <Anti-Tedd> although it's still kinda slow
[12:38] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  do you have a cordless phone?
[12:39] <LjL> RPO: you said you managed to do the "sudo apt-get install" thing, so that means you *can* get root access, which in turns means that you won't need a live CD to obtain it back
[12:39] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, yes I do
[12:39] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, ahh, you might want to look into moving to 802.11a then...
[12:39] <RPO> LjL, yeah I know it worked that one time, now it doesn't
[12:39] <Anti-Tedd> Does that involve me buying anything, LiENUS
[12:39] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, what wireless access point are you using?
[12:40] <norty> how do i copy a file from my hd to an ipod when the file has an undefined character in it?
[12:40] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, dumb that down for me? I'm a fool.
[12:40] <mamzers555> hello, some people from france here?
[12:40] <LjL> RPO: then boot into recovery mode, you can select it from the grub boot menu. i can never remember whether it asks for a password or not... if it does, anyway, you can just edit the kernel command line and add "init=/bin/sh", to go straight into a root shell
[12:40] <LjL> !bootoptions > RPO    (RPO, see the private message from Ubotu)
[12:40] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, ... i did...
[12:40] <RPO> LjL, sorry, I was typing SU and it worked with SUDO, my bad
[12:40] <LjL> !fr > mamzers555    (mamzers555, see the private message from Ubotu)
[12:40] <Anti-Tedd> A router?
[12:40] <Anti-Tedd> Hell.
[12:40] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, yes router!
[12:40] <LjL> RPO: ok. though remember, sudo is quite different from sudo
[12:40] <tom__> LjL: isn't that a security breach?
[12:40] <Anti-Tedd> It's a Linksys.
[12:40] <LjL> tom__: what?
[12:40] <Anti-Tedd> You need the exact model?
[12:40] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, yeah
[12:41] <Anti-Tedd> Gimme a sec
[12:41] <tom__> LjL: going straight to a root shell from grub sans password?
[12:41] <LjL> tom__: uh... no
[12:41] <LjL> tom__: if you have physical access to the computer, you can *always* get in, one way or another.
[12:41] <LjL> tom__: at worst, you have to use a live CD.
[12:41] <tom__> LjL: yeah i suppose.
[12:41] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, Linksys WRK54G
[12:41] <billybob> LjL: at worst, you mount the drive in anotehr system ;)
[12:42] <LjL> billybob: if you can open the case, sure.
[12:42] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, then yes to move to a you would need to buy something

[12:42] <lasse_> Hi, im having a problem with Firefox and file type associations. I want to change the program that by defaults open the .m3u playlist files. Ive asked over at #firefox, they tell me it might be a ubuntu thing. Anyone know anything about that kind of thing?
[12:42] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, try channel 1, it reachers a little bit further
[12:43] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, thanks
[12:43] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, by a bit further i mean half a foot at most...
[12:43] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  but i find it to be more stable most of the time...
[12:43] <Rhugan> could someone help me, i've turned off the X Server using the Services option under Administration and I dont know how to turn it back on in the shell
[12:43] <billybob> LiENUS: unless you have an 21db gain andrew ;)
[12:44] <linxeh> Rhugan: you can manually start it wit something like /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:44] <LiENUS> billybob, heh since he didnt know the term wap i'd be surprised if he had one...
[12:44] <LiENUS> billybob, thats disturbing

[12:46] <tom__> paticicio: ignore them. try #ubuntu-es
[12:46] <DARKGuy> este es un canal para hablar en ingles. Para espaol es #ubuntu-es
[12:46] <patricio> shuu
[12:46] <DARKGuy> lo siento :P
[12:46] <patricio> ok
[12:46] <pollywog> where is the tcpwrappers package?
[12:46] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, Its gotta be your password
[12:47] <flyinghippo> Hello.
[12:47] <billybob> well, atleast someone speaks spanish better than me, thats god :)
[12:47] <billybob> good even
[12:47] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, try first to do " sudo ls " then do the " sudo nvidia<somecommandidontremember> and check if it still asks you for a password
[12:48] <DARKGuy> billybob: I'm a native Spanish speaker, that's why ;). Yours not too bad though ^^
[12:48] <RPO> LjL: Ok, so I have the partition information now.  So, someone told me you can run the gnome backup utility and backup the boot sector & partition table because Windows will probably overwrite it, but he didn't know the exact name.
[12:48] <CupCakeMaster> k
[12:48] <flyinghippo> I have successfully installed Ubuntu onto my Dell XPS, however, the screen - Just got it fixed, never mind.  :\
[12:48] <billybob> DARKGuy: i dont spell so well, although i can speak it 'ok'
[12:48] <DARKGuy> billybob: yeah, just noticed :)
[12:49] <LjL> RPO: you're out of my realm, i don't know those GNOME applications at all. don't be *too* anxious about it anyway, you should always be able to restore the Ubuntu boot sector via the live CD in any event
[12:49] <billybob> DARKGuy: if yo uwant to hear somethign funny, you should hear me try to speak spanish, and i toss in the odd german word . . .
[12:49] <lasse_> RPO, can you clarify what you want to do?
[12:49] <billybob> (not on purpose either)
[12:50] <lasse_> RPO, are you gonna install windows, then restore the grub boot loader?
[12:50] <cheeseboy16> how u install free-basic?
[12:50] <CupCakeMaster> 'sudo ls nvidia-glx-config enabel" still ask me for a pass and its not my pass
[12:51] <ezenu> In Firefox, when clicking on a file link, I have the setting saved to open it automatically with a program, however, the location of that program changed. Now I get an error message, which says I should fix it in preferences, yet this file type is not listed under "Manage" file types. Any ideas?
[12:51] <pollywog> is there a restricted-modules source package?  maybe I need that for nvidia to work in a custom kernel
[12:51] <DARKGuy> billybob: hehe, someday sure ^^
[12:51] <DARKGuy> CupCakeMaster: It must be the root password, not your use's password
[12:51] <DARKGuy> *user's
[12:51] <BigMac> LjL:omg there are so many options i have to pick form>.< I don't even understand half of them
[12:51] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, you misunderstood. Try to do the "sudo ls" . It should ask you for a password, check if this is your password?
[12:51] <LjL> BigMac: i told you - just press Enter.
[12:51] <pollywog> is LjL a bot?
[12:51] <LjL> BigMac: the important one is the selection of the graphics driver (VESA)
[12:51] <LjL> pollywog: ytes
[12:52] <DARKGuy> and he spells "yes" with a t in between :p
[12:52] <CupCakeMaster> said command not found for "sudo is:
[12:52] <CupCakeMaster> *sudo is"
[12:52] <pollywog> I didn't ask if he was a smart bot ;)
[12:52] <DARKGuy> Oh, but he is smart indeed :D
[12:52] <ihmSelbst> i want download files from a http-server, but when i use "wegt -r <url>" i get only the files in the maindirectory. i need the files in the deeper directorys too. what can i do?
[12:52] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster,    the only thing your gonna type is       sudo ls     . forget the "-marks
[12:52] <RPO> LjL, I'm trying to save to floppy but it says you don't have permissions (I'm admin), how to fix?
[12:52] <BigMac> LjL: I put Ati because I have an ati card.....
[12:52] <pollywog> is there a restricted-modules source package?  maybe I need that for nvidia to work in a custom kernel
[12:52] <CupCakeMaster> i know
[12:53] <LjL> ihmSelbst: possibly the site has a robots.txt files that tells webcrawlers (such as wget in recursive mode) to leave it alone
[12:53] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, then try     sudo touch testfile.txt
[12:53] <LjL> RPO: what program are you doing this in?
[12:53] <BigMac> LjL:Is that bad
[12:54] <CupCakeMaster> i did and didnt get antyhign
[12:54] <pic__> heya
[12:55] <dreamerdude> Anyone got source code for a simple C++ keylogger? all i can find is C
[12:55] <tom__> bigmac: just use the default
[12:55] <kmu> Is it true that by using Feisty I will have a better chance of having support for new hardware?
[12:55] <tom__> bigmac: do it again and choose the default
[12:55] <CupCakeMaster> this is pissing me off
[12:55] <notgod> dreamerdude: why do you need C++ ?
[12:55] <dreamerdude> cos thats all i know :P
[12:55] <tom__> dreamerdude: can i ask why you want a keylogger?
[12:55] <dreamerdude> its for learning
[12:56] <LjL> BigMac: no, shouldn't be, since "ati" means you'll use the open-source drivers rather than the (currently broken, it seems) binary drivers
[12:56] <BigMac> Dude answer me I am sitting here with my thumb in my butt and a brand new latop that won't even boot
[12:56] <BigMac> ok
[12:56] <LjL> BigMac: if it still doesn't work, however, try with VESA
[12:56] <tom__> bigmac: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:56] <BigMac> Oh crraaap
[12:56] <tom__> instead of putting ati where you did last time
[12:56] <RPO> LjL, Gnome - Computer - Floppy
[12:56] <LjL> BigMac: err, i'm not at your exclusive service, you know, i'm in a couple of other channels and doing other stuff as well
[12:56] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, hmm it seems like you have root permissions if it didnt say anything with sudo touch testfile.txt
[12:56] <tom__> use the default
[12:57] <LjL> tom__: the default will be the previous choice... and it won't work
[12:57] <BigMac> tom_ that is the command I entered bfore
[12:57] <BigMac> the are way to many options
[12:57] <RPO> LjL, I'm guessing it's mounted RO and not RW, but I don't know how to change this and make it stay changed
[12:57] <BigMac> why isn't there a write default
[12:57] <CupCakeMaster> any suggestions
[12:57] <LjL> RPO: i dunno... i guess just launch that application using gksudo. if you don't know what the filename for it is, right click on the menu and fire up the menu editor, and see what the command name is
[12:57] <BigMac> My battery died now I have to star overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[12:57] <LjL> RPO: sudo mount /media/floppy0 -o remount,rw
[12:57] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, try writing    sudo su     then write the command  nvidia-glx-config enable    without any sudo in front
[12:58] <LjL> BigMac: there ARE defaults. what i told you is to FOLLOW the defaults, EXCEPT for the part where it asks about the driver (that is, the first part). just press Enter at the other questions!
[12:59] <LjL> lasse_: why not sudo -i ;-)
[12:59] <dreamerdude> you dont wanna log in as root
[12:59] <RPO> LjL, "You must specify a file system type"  (FAT?)
[12:59] <dreamerdude> bad habbit
[12:59] <lasse_> LjL; because I dont have so much experience with sudo and didnt know  it :D
[12:59] <LjL> RPO: hm, no "vfat", but if it asks that, i guess it means it was never mounted - read only or not read only
[01:00] <LjL> RPO, anyway, if what you're trying to do is write the HD's boot sector to the FD's *boot sector*, you probably *don't* want to have the FD mounted
[01:00] <andre> LJL:  the ubuntu screensaver, When the screen goes dark, is what screws up ubuntu for me... ever heard of that?
[01:00] <BigMac> LjL so just select ati and hit ente for everything else?
[01:00] <LjL> RPO: if, instead, you're just trying to dump the HD's boot sector on a *file* on the FD, that's another matter
[01:00] <RPO> LjL, it's mounted because I can read the files on the floppy.
[01:00] <ljlolel> So, i'm using the ubuntu.exe on my laptop --- why does the kernel have to be the same as of the installer?
[01:00] <LjL> andre: no, i'll check the bug reports. how exactly does it mess up?
[01:00] <cntb>  I received a tif from scan in gmail and it fails to present on ubuntu is it some proprietray restricted issu here?from windows I see same tif from gmail perfectly
[01:01] <CupCakeMaster> got an error of : must be root or use sudo
[01:01] <andre> LjL:  if in ubuntu already, progs won't load
[01:01] <RPO> LjL, no, I'm just trying to make it work at this point and then I'll have to figure out how to backup the paritition table with GNOME backup (whatever that is).
[01:01] <LjL> RPO: alrighty, then try the same command but with "floppy" instead of "floppy0", and if it still fails, "sudo mount -t vfat /media/floppy0 -o remount,rw"
[01:01] <cntb> LjL ^^^ ideas about tif viewing?
[01:01] <andre> LjL: if at login,  X will fail to login
[01:01] <andre> LjL: ie X will give me an error
[01:01] <holycow> ljlolel, ubuntu.exe? is that the win installer of ubunut?
[01:02] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, type   whoami  and tell me what you get
[01:02] <ljlolel> holycow: yes, that's the windows installer for ubuntu -- it uses grldr and grub4dos
[01:02] <CupCakeMaster> "cupcake"
[01:02] <LjL> cntb: TIFF is a perfectly supported format... not sure about how well GNOME programs handle it, but i guess they should normally handle it quite well. perhaps save it and open it in the GIMP
[01:02] <cntb> ubuntu.exe not ready
[01:02] <holycow> ljlolel, where do y ou get that error?
[01:02] <holycow> nor is it really supported here, but i'm curious
[01:02] <cntb> LjL did not work
[01:03] <AWOSDev> I don't care how unstable it is, I *need* w32codecs on my 64-bit system
[01:03] <Wimpog> GUYS, I installed Windows on my primary HDD and linux on my secondary HDD. I don't see grub menu, and Windows starts everytime I start the computer. Can I switch HDDs? That is make the one with Linux primary and with windows secondary???
[01:03] <LjL> cntb: like, GIMP gives an error? well if so i suppose the image is corrupted
[01:03] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, ok, then you still arent root.   then you have to  try the  sudo su  again. Type your password once when it asks you. Does it then ask you for a password again, or doesnt it say anyting?
[01:03] <ljlolel> well, i get it to work normally -- but if I edit menu.lst and try to boot to a .20- kernel instead of a  .17- kernel, it will fail ----- it says in the readme that you have to have the same kernel as the installer
[01:03] <AWOSDev> Wimpog yes, flip the cables so that the first one is second
[01:03] <cntb> will you permit me to send that 531k tif so you try to see it? nothing confidential - PCprices scanned
[01:03] <holycow> Wimpog, well you didn'g install grub on the bootsector of the primary hd
[01:03] <AWOSDev> Wimpog this will work assuming your mobo is set for cable select
[01:04] <holycow> Wimpog, you have a lot of options
[01:04] <holycow> you can get removeable trays and swap drives, i do that
[01:04] <Wimpog> GUYS, thank you for quick responce
[01:04] <BigMac> alright it has been on the loading wheel fo about 5 - 10 minutes
[01:04] <LjL> andre, there are quite a few bug reports that might or might not be relevant... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=screensaver+login&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=Unconfirmed&field.status%3Alist=Confirmed&field.status%3Alist=In+Progress&field.status%3Alist=Needs+Info&field.status%3Alist=Fix+Committed&field.assignee=&field.owner=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_no_package=
[01:04] <CupCakeMaster> it says "password:" and does not allow me to write anything only if i click enter and move to the next row
[01:04] <AWOSDev> Is there any way of gettting w32codecs on my AMD64 system?
[01:04] <holycow> you can get a usb tray, install ubuntu on one drive then put it in the usb tray and boot off of that
[01:04] <LjL> eew i always forgot how long those URLs are =)
[01:04] <hitmanWilly> cntb: do you have libtiff4 installed?
[01:04] <AWOSDev> LjL hehe
[01:04] <Wimpog> My intention was to separate Windows and Linux (enemies for ever) as much as I could, so that nothing of the other OS is on another HDD
[01:04] <ljlolel> AWOSDev: there are ways to run them in a chrooted way-- search google
[01:04] <cntb> LjL I mamaged to see same maiol with TIFF attached on a Windows machine
[01:05] <holycow> or you can even install grub on the main bootsector of the windows hd ... but i would avoid that considering your question implies your not familiar with the process thoroughly
[01:05] <AWOSDev> ljlolel would it be easier, or even possible, to run qemu with XP inside?
[01:05] <Wimpog> I am just curios, will I do any damage to my system if I switch places HDDs
[01:05] <LjL> cntb: sure, mail it to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[01:05] <AWOSDev> Wimpog nope
[01:05] <cntb> hitmanWilly: ty will check now
[01:05] <LjL> array: using IRC as root is not a good idea
[01:05] <array> hi
[01:05] <ljlolel> AWOSDev: I do that now (vmware), but I'd prefer to run linux straight
[01:05] <cntb> tyvm LjL
[01:05] <AWOSDev> LjL you live in Italy!?  wow my family wants to move there
[01:05] <holycow> Wimpog, indeed, thats the best method, the options i provided will let you do whateve ryou need
[01:05] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, it does allow you to type everything, but it doesnt show the letters. So when you type your password it wont show, just type it and press enter
[01:05] <LjL> AWOSDev: yep
[01:05] <AWOSDev> LjL cool
[01:05] <AWOSDev> ljlolel okay thanks.
[01:05] <AWOSDev> bye!
[01:05] <ljlolel> Here:
[01:05] <ljlolel> * """You have to use an ISO built on the same kernel of the installer, at the moment this means 2.6.20-6-generic kernel, which is found in Herd3 ISOs
[01:05] <ljlolel> ""
[01:05] <array> hi LjL, i know but I can see my ntfs hd only by root
[01:06] <Wimpog> AWOSDev: thanks. I'm gonna do that right now. I will still be able to to into windows, right??
[01:06] <ljlolel> from the tarball here: http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/
[01:06] <RPO> LjL, Usage...
[01:06] <ljlolel> under Download
[01:06] <LjL> array: err, and how does that imply that you should use *IRC* as root? =)   you can do one thing as root and another thing as a normal user
[01:06] <LjL> !sudo | array
[01:06] <ubotu> array: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:06] <array> or maybe you or someone could help me :)
[01:06] <Wimpog> holycow: I am sorry, but I do not quite understand your options
[01:06] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, this is what it should look like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5495/
[01:06] <LjL> array: besides, you can mount NTFS so that your own user can read it
[01:06] <holycow> Wimpog, then ask
[01:06] <LjL> !ntfs > array    (array, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:06] <array> yes, I tried sudo mount but then I can access to files only from terminal
[01:07] <LjL> RPO, what?
[01:07] <RPO> LjL, the syntax appears to be wrong
[01:07] <Wimpog> holycow: could you explain this USB tray issue
[01:07] <LjL> array: no. you can do "gksudo nautilus" (using Alt+F2) and see them from the file browser. *logging in as root in X is a completely terrible idea* (and so is enabling the root account to start with, but anyway)
[01:07] <holycow> well you can buy what is called a usb tray, its an external usb case you put  your hard drive into
[01:07] <holycow> plug in the power and plug it into your usb por
[01:07] <holycow> t
[01:07] <CupCakeMaster> now it says i never instald it WTF
[01:08] <holycow> if you have a newer mobo you should be able to tell it to boot from the usb device in the bios
[01:08] <CupCakeMaster> AAAAAh
[01:08] <LjL> array: disable the root account as the !sudo page instructs, then if you like follow the !ntfs page to know how to mount your NTFS partition so that your user can read it -- or use gksudo nautilus
[01:08] <kev_b> can anyone help with a problem i am having. User switching seems to have stopped working. Running 'gdmflexiserver' fails to start a new virtual console. I don't know how to diagnose or debug..
[01:08] <LjL> RPO: i'll check
[01:08] <cntb> sent to ljlbox  Ljl now will sudo apt=cache search that libtiff4 hitmanWilly pointed to
[01:08] <holycow> alternatively you can buy a removable tray that goes in the same slot as your cdrom (or underneath).  you put your hd into the trays, when you reboot you just swap trays for the os that you want to run
[01:08] <Wimpog> holycow: Oh, I see. Well, I want to do something now, and I don't have usb tray right now. That's why I was asking if the method of switching roles of two HDDs would work
[01:08] <array> !ntfs
[01:08] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[01:08] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, I recommend you to follow a guide. ill give you a link for a good guide on how to install nvidia drivers
[01:09] <holycow> Wimpog, you will probably haveto install grub on the bootsector of the linux hd, but yes it will work
[01:09] <LjL> RPO: ah, wait, you probably need to specify the device when you specify the filesystem type... try "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 -o remount,rw"
[01:09] <CupCakeMaster> thank you s00 much lasse you have been so much help
[01:09] <holycow> Wimpog, actually you will haveto probably reinstall linux if you swap the cables, linux kernel doesn' tlike that
[01:09] <holycow> you might want to a:
[01:09] <kev_b> p.s. i've been asking around for a week now so if anyone has a clue i'd really appreciate it
[01:09] <Wimpog> holycow: Here how it is now: Windows is installed on primary HDD, Linux is installed on secondary HDD
[01:09] <holycow> swap the ide / sata cables and reinstall linux on it
[01:10] <array> thank you very much LjL, just following the guide and then come back in user mode :)
[01:10] <RPO> LjL, device not mounted already, or bad option
[01:10] <Wimpog> holycow: that's why Windows always boots and I don't even see grub menu
[01:10] <holycow> or b: unplug the windows hd and just install grub on the remianing hd so that can boot ... because you already installed linux on that particular ide channel you haveto keep it there
[01:10] <lasse_> CupCakeMaster, my pleasure, now try this guide and just ask if something isnt clear to you http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29
[01:10] <LjL> RPO: uhm, but still you say you have it mounted... please type "mount" and give me the line that talks about the floppy
[01:10] <hairulfr> NN All
[01:10] <holycow> Wimpog, its because the windows bootloader is on the first hd.  you bios checks your ide channels one by one for booteable devices.  when it finds the first bootloader on the first hd it stops and just uses that info
[01:11] <RPO> LjL, /dev/sdc on /media/floppy-1 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8)
[01:11] <Wimpog> holycow: GRUB is already installed, the problem is it is installed on secondary HDD, where the entire Linux is installed
[01:11] <LiENUS> im cold
[01:11] <holycow> Wimpog, thus you don't have grub installed on that hd, windows bootloaders have this crazy notion that only windows will ever be installed on a pc
[01:11] <LjL> RPO: eeerg? /dev/sdc? /media/floppy-1 with a hyphen? what sort of floppy do you have? :o)
[01:11] <LiENUS> holycow,  not true
[01:11] <LiENUS> holycow,  theres a way to edit boot.ini and have linux in it
[01:11] <RPO> LjL, USB
[01:11] <ljlolel> So, why does ubuntu.exe think that the kernel of the linux in the file has to be the same as that of the installer?
[01:12] <holycow> Wimpog, and you made sure you added the right windows option to your /boot/grub/menu.lst file ?
[01:12] <lasse_> LiENUS, that is really much harder than getting grub to work
[01:12] <hitmanWilly> Wimpog: most bioses will let you pick the HDD to boot from
[01:12] <holycow> its weird that it wasn't automatically done for you
[01:12] <LiENUS> lasse_, not really
[01:12] <LjL> RPO, maybe that GNOME utility is looking for the floppy in some more, uhm, normal place, such as /media/floppy and/or /dev/fd0. if you type "ls /media/floppy", do you see the floppy contents?
[01:12] <Wimpog> holycow: Yeah, windows is in my menu.lst
[01:12] <LiENUS> http://www.tprthai.net/bootmgr.htm
[01:12] <holycow> i would even just reinstall as it sounds easier than learning how to do it manually righ tnow
[01:12] <hitmanWilly> Wimpog: you could use the linux drive as default and use GRUB to boot win
[01:12] <Wimpog> at least during installation it added it
[01:12] <esoxlucius> there is someone that could help me with an uninstall of xgl?
[01:12] <holycow> Wimpog, okay cool, so do you get a chance to select linux at the beginning?
[01:12] <lasse_> LiENUS, i know i didnt get it, but maybe i where an idiot. that happens
[01:12] <holycow> grub will boot into the first item in tha tlist
[01:12] <Wimpog> holycow: no, because I don't even see grub
[01:13] <holycow> Wimpog, then its not installed
[01:13] <holycow> you might think it is
[01:13] <RPO> LjL, I tried it with floppy1 instead of Floppy0 but same error
[01:13] <holycow> BUT ITS NOT installed on the MAIN HD
[01:13] <holycow> right?
[01:13] <Wimpog> hitmanWilly: that's what I want to do, but the question is is it 'legal' to do that?
[01:13] <LjL> cntb: what's the email subject? looks like it's been trapped by the spam filter :P
[01:13] <holycow> bios looks at the hd, it sees the windows bootlaoder and just uses that
[01:13] <holycow> why don't you just unplug the windows hd and just reboot
[01:13] <hitmanWilly> Wimpog: why not?
[01:13] <Wimpog> holycow: IT is installed, I don't see it ONLY because Linux AND grub are installed on secondary HDD
[01:13] <holycow> see if the  bootloader on the linux hd actually points to the right place
[01:13] <LjL> cntb: oh wait, nevermind... i've got a 60kb limit now that i think of it, sorry. i'll give you another address in a PM
[01:13] <esoxlucius> There is someone that could help me with an uninstall of XGL???
[01:13] <holycow> Wimpog, its NOT installed on the main hd, you said it doesn't see it
[01:14] <holycow> it might be installed on the second hd
[01:14] <lasse_> esoxlucius, sure, whats the problem?
[01:14] <Wimpog> holycow: exactly
[01:14] <cntb> no LjL it is hebrew ignore it look at attachment
[01:14] <holycow> Wimpog, so why are you making this hard?
[01:14] <Wimpog> holycow: SO I want to flip HDDs
[01:14] <holycow> Wimpog, unplug the windows hd and reboot
[01:14] <RPO> LjL, did you notice it says it's mounted RW already?
[01:14] <hitmanWilly> Wimpog: win's license talks about virtualization, not actual installs
[01:14] <holycow> just be quiet for a second and just try it :)
[01:14] <cntb> OK LjL
[01:14] <holycow> it will give you enough information to furtehr move down the logic chain to debug this
[01:15] <Wimpog> holycow: you mean I have to unplug everytime I want to boot Linux?
[01:15] <holycow> i told you already why you CAN'T flip hds

[01:16] <wubrgamer> any ideas ?
[01:16] <andre> LJL:tx for the bug reports
[01:16] <hitmanWilly> cntb: ive had crazier things work
[01:16] <Wimpog> holycow: I think I confused you, so, let me tell you my idea. Linux and grub are installed on secondary HDD. I want to make Linux's HDD primary and Windows' HDD secondary by flipping cables. THEN I would be able to see GRUB's menu and choose whatever I want - Linux and Windows. MY QUESTION IS - WILL THAT WORK???
[01:17] <holycow> no you didn't confuse me
[01:17] <holycow> you don't understand what i'm telling you
[01:17] <holycow> lol
[01:17] <Wimpog> ok, then I'm confused
[01:17] <holycow> you can't flip them
[01:17] <pollywog> Winpog why not just do a dual boot?
[01:17] <holycow> you installed the system while linux was on the other ide channel
[01:17] <DARKGuy> he looks like he's dualbooting with grub
[01:17] <RPO> LjL, nope, but ls /media/floppy-1 works, I just can't save anything to the blank formatted UN-write protected floppy
[01:17] <wubrgamer> mp4 to mp3 eh eh ? eh eh ?
[01:17] <holycow> Wimpog, why don't you just swap and see for your self
[01:17] <hitmanWilly> Winpog: u can change the boot order in the bios
[01:17] <Wimpog> hitmanWilly: hitmanWilly said I can do that
[01:17] <holycow> it should freeze on bootup or not boot at all
[01:18] <hitmanWilly> Winpog: dont swap cables. that'll confuse the kernel
[01:18] <Wimpog> ok I'll get back to you later, I'm going to try this...
[01:18] <holycow> Wimpog, but dude, just try it
[01:18] <holycow> damn why are we answering the same questio n10 time
[01:18] <holycow> i iexplained why it wont work, tryin git wont hurt anything
[01:18] <holycow> its simple really
[01:19] <holycow> worst case scenario you swap drives and reinstall
[01:19] <hitmanWilly> yup
[01:19] <LjL> RPO: "floppy-1" isn't a normal name for a floppy in Ubuntu, so i guess the permissions are all set incorrectly... either use sudo/gksudo for everything, or try to fix that. but i don't know where to start looking for the problem
[01:19] <LiENUS> holycow, why not show him how to use boot.ini to boot linux
[01:19] <Zuph_> I have a USB Disk formatted FAT.  Yesterday it was working fine.  Today, though, a directory I was accessing when I turned my computer off yesterday is corrupt, and the disk will only mount as read-only.  What gives?
[01:19] <holycow> LiENUS, are you insane?
[01:19] <holycow> why would i ever help anyone with windows?
[01:19] <LiENUS> hollywoodstar, yes actually, why do you ask?
[01:20] <LiENUS> err holycow yes actually, why do you ask?
[01:20] <holycow> lol
[01:20] <lasse_> Zuph_, do you know your way around in a terminal?
[01:20] <holycow> :)
[01:20] <RPO> LjL, SUDO mv S* /media/floppy-1 also reports RO file system
[01:20] <Zuph_> lasse_: more or less
[01:20] <hitmanWilly> LiENUS: cause its 10x easier from GRUB
[01:20] <LiENUS> hitmanWilly, iyfssb
[01:20] <Zuph_> I've tried mounting it manually, umask=000, to no availi.
[01:21] <LiENUS> LjL, maybe mrename should be used?
[01:21] <lasse_> Zuph_, then try   cd /where/your/usbidsk/ismounted   (usally somwhere in /media or /mnt ). use the ls command to see what is in the folder you are in
[01:21] <LjL> LiENUS: i don't know what mrename is
[01:21] <kev_b> Can anyone tell me why running "gdmflexiserver" might result in nothing happening and no errors?
[01:21] <frogzoo> LiENUS: grub is also 10x more powerful than boot.ini
[01:21] <lasse_> Zuph_, tell me when you are there
[01:21] <LiENUS> LjL, renames dos disks...
[01:21] <zorba64> Zuph_, running fsck.vfat or fsck.msdos find any errors?
[01:21] <LiENUS> frogzoo, and grub can be loaded from boot.ini
[01:21] <LiENUS> frogzoo, whats yer point?
[01:22] <megafauna> Hi, can someone help me please with installing realplayer 10?
[01:22] <LjL> LiENUS: but it's not a label problem, it's actually the mountpoint that's weird
[01:22] <kev_b> If run with -d for debug it just stops at a certain point...
[01:22] <frogzoo> LiENUS: grub can connect to a serial port - so you can reboot remotely from bare metal
[01:22] <kev_b> Sending command: 'FLEXI_XSERVER Standard'
[01:22] <kev_b> and then does nothing
[01:22] <LiENUS> frogzoo,  i doubt he wants that functionality
[01:22] <LiENUS> LjL, gnome will pick floppy-1 or something like that if the disk is unnamed...
[01:22] <lasse_> megafauna, check this out: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Multimedia_Player_.28RealPlayer_10.29
[01:22] <cntb> hitmanWilly: try dev lib? dont get tit still tif viewing issue
[01:22] <Zuph_> lasse_: what do you mean "What is in the folder you are in"?  It's mounted to /media/usbdisk, and every folder except that one is fine.  The rest of the directory structure is A-OK.
[01:23] <frogzoo> LiENUS: but why learn an inferior tool? that's my point
[01:23] <LiENUS> frogzoo, no learn
 Thanks!
[01:23] <LiENUS> frogzoo, use
[01:23] <LiENUS> theres a difference
[01:23] <lasse_> Zuph_, ok. so now you are in /media/usbdisk  ?
[01:23] <LycoLoc1> hi all - I'm using a live CD to try to fix a problem I've been having - how would I go about running fsck on my linux partition, which is hdb2?
[01:23] <Wimpog> OK GUYS, thanks for all your help. It is even easier that I thougth. I followed hitmanWilly's advice and changed the boot order of HDDs in BIOS. Now I can see GRUB's menu and choose which OS to boot!!! Wicked Cool
[01:23] <Zuph_> lasse_: yes
[01:24] <Dial_tone> I can't find a definitive answer of whether gnomebaker burns dual layer...anyone know?
[01:24] <hitmanWilly> Wimpog: nice, huh?
[01:24] <lasse_> Zuph_, Great! Now try to type   sudo touch testfile.txt
[01:24] <Wimpog> hitmanWilly: yes. Sorry Guys for some stupid questions, I am not an expert...
[01:24] <hitmanWilly> Wimpog: experience from my own dual boot days
[01:24] <zorba64> LycoLoc1, ext3 file system - sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/hdb2
[01:24] <Zuph_> lasse_: cannot touch 'testfile.txt': Read-only file system.
[01:24] <Wimpog> hitmanWilly: Wicked cool.
[01:24] <lasse_> Zuph_, ah damn :)
[01:25] <LycoLoc1> zorba64: thanks :-)
[01:25] <zorba64> s'ok
[01:25] <|ADZ|> where can I find printer drivers?
[01:25] <|ADZ|> for Ubuntu
[01:25] <LycoLoc1> zorba64: it immediately comes back clean...which doesn't seem right
[01:25] <zorba64> Zuph_, have you checked it for file system errors?
[01:25] <kev_b> I will paypal $5 to anyone to provides information on my problem which leads to either filing a bug or fixing it : )
[01:25] <LycoLoc1> shouldn't it be doing an actual scan?
[01:25] <lasse_> Zuph_, how about trying   sudo chmod 777 -R /media/usbdisk  ?
[01:25] <frogzoo> LiENUS: if people want a doze way of doing things, they should -> #windows  solutions recommended here need to be able to be supported by the community
[01:25] <kev_b> its not a lot but its more than anyone else is paying! : )
[01:25] <Zuph_> zorba64: trying that now.
[01:25] <lasse_> Zuph_, then the touch testfile.txt
[01:26] <LiENUS> frogzoo, theres no reason for him not to use boot.ini
[01:26] <LiENUS> frogzoo, does he have the source code to his bios?
[01:26] <LiENUS> frogzoo, does the community support his bios?
[01:26] <zorba64> LycoLoc1, then filesystem errors may not be the prob
[01:26] <lasse_> zorba64, would he only get read permissions if the file system is corrupt?
[01:26] <frogzoo> LiENUS: not yet :D
[01:26] <LycoLoc1> zorba64: alrighty, thanks
[01:26] <zorba64> lasse_, yeah...
[01:27] <LiENUS> frogzoo, so then why not use boot.ini?
[01:27] <lasse_> zorba64, huh
[01:27] <kurt_> hi
[01:27] <kev_b> $5 people... easy money maybe?
[01:27] <kurt_> here is my question
[01:27] <LiENUS> frogzoo, theres a project that aims to implement the windows boot loader in open source form
[01:27] <lasse_> hi kurt
[01:27] <kurt_> i tried to mount my windows partition
[01:27] <kurt_> here is what i did
[01:27] <shrndegruv> can someone help me get direct rendering working with open source ati drivers?
[01:27] <kurt_> sudo mkdir /media/windows
[01:28] <jrib> kev_b: I had a similar issue.  What video drivers are you using?
[01:28] <kurt_> sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/windows -o ro,users
[01:28] <kurt_> it seems to mount just fine
[01:28] <kurt_> but when i try to ls
[01:28] <Zirg> Hey Gang. When I add new hardware to a (k)ubuntu machine, how do I set it up in the o/s itself? (added a soundblaster and don't have audio)
[01:28] <kurt_> or browse i dont have permissions
[01:28] <ImmortalD23> HELLO NEWYORK!
[01:28] <lasse_> kurt_,  would you please write everything in one line
[01:28] <ImmortalD23> oh wrong channel.. :)
[01:28] <kurt_> oh ok
[01:29] <kurt_> i tried to mount my windows partition  here is what i did
[01:29] <kev_b> jrib: radeon driver, but it was working a while ago and i'm not sure what i changed : )
[01:29] <ImmortalD23> hey kurt_, why is there so much windows haters online?
[01:29] <kurt_>  sudo mkdir /media/windows  sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/windows -o ro,users
[01:29] <lasse_> kurt_, try the   sudo chmod -R 777 /media/windows  and then try to browse
[01:29] <zorba64> who has time for hate?
[01:29] <kurt_> aha!
[01:30] <kev_b> jrib: I was playing with my networking settings and I installed NetworkManager but I can't see the relevance
[01:30] <jrib> kev_b: well to troubleshoot, i would try with whatever the default ati drivers are, or is radeon the default for ati?
[01:30] <ImmortalD23> zorba64, its some complete geeks @ demonoid
[01:30] <jrib> kev_b: in my case the nvidia drivers would give me the same trouble you are having but 'nv' worked fine
[01:30] <zorba64> ah well...their problem if it gets to them that much
[01:31] <Zirg> When I add new hardware to a (k)ubuntu machine, how do I set it up in the o/s itself? (added a soundblaster and don't have audio)
[01:31] <kurt_> oh crap
[01:31] <ImmortalD23> yea man
[01:31] <kev_b> jrib: hmm, I think radeon is the only that will work with my card
[01:31] <lasse_> kurt_, whats up?
[01:31] <kurt_> how many of them are there????
[01:32] <lasse_> kurt_,  youre not making it any easier to help you right now :S
[01:32] <Zuph_> zorba64: it reports the directory that appeared to be corrupt was corrupt, but I can't seem to make any meaningful changes;  it still only mounts as read-only.
[01:32] <kurt_> it keeps saying though read-only file system
[01:32] <RPO> LjL: I found an article that had me change /etc/fstab, how do I instantiate it?
[01:32] <kurt_> why is it that ubuntu on my desktop mounting windows is a mouse click
[01:32] <Zirg> kurt_, yeah, that's what you TOLD it! (ro)
[01:32] <LjL> RPO: instawhat? :P
[01:32] <kurt_> but on my laptop its this hassle
[01:32] <hitmanWilly> LjL: mount -a
[01:33] <kurt_> and both are on the same version
[01:33] <zorba64> Zuph_, can you copy off it...may have to reformat if the filesystem is dodgy...backup time maybe?
[01:33] <RPO> kurt, you told it to mount read-only, and its alledgely unsafe to mount ntfs partitions rw under Linux
[01:33] <jrib> kev_b: does gdmflexiserver work if you use -lns ?
[01:33] <kurt_> yeah but so many....
[01:34] <kurt_> ntfs-3g is my nextguess
[01:34] <Zuph_> zorba64: aside from the fact that this drive is 4 times as large as any other drive in the house, it's BRAND spanking new and worked fine until last night, when I shut it off before I stopped accessing it.
[01:34] <kurt_> oh and by the way...
[01:34] <marty> I've got a .deb that broke, and now I can't use package management to any degree - it won't uninstall, either - how can I fix this?
[01:34] <kurt_> it says permission denied still
[01:34] <kev_b> jrib: no i can't get it to do anything, it's strange. It gets to "Sending command: 'FLEXI_XSERVER Standard'" and then it just waits
[01:35] <|ADZ|> does anybody know where I can find a driver for brother hl-2040
[01:35] <kev_b> jrib: but everything before that looks OK. It gets the server and authenticates.
[01:35] <lasse_> kurt_,  ok. try this one. it might seem like youre not using the 3g drivers so follow this guide. http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount_Windows_partitions_.28NTFS.29_on_boot-up.2C_and_allow_users_read_and_write_access
[01:35] <Zirg> kurt_, show me the output of  ls -l /media/windows    please.
[01:35] <|ADZ|> on the brother website, there is noen
[01:35] <|ADZ|> *none
[01:35] <jrib> marty: maybe 'dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq packagename' but please make sure you udnerstand the ramifications before doing this (see man dpkg)
[01:35] <zorba64> Zuph_, ok...i see the prob...and it's full of stuff too huh?
[01:35] <Zuph_> yeah
[01:36] <justin_> can someone help me?
[01:36] <kurt_> ls: /media/windows: Permission denied
[01:36] <Flannel> lasse_, kurt_, ubuntuguide should be avoided.  The official wiki is a better place to look.
[01:36] <buu> So. I've screwed something up. I'm trying to run oowriter and I get a couple of pages of [fglrx]  API ERROR: could not register entrypoint for SelectTextureSGIS
[01:36] <buu> [fglrx]  API ERROR: could not register entrypoint for SelectTextureTransformSGIS
[01:36] <Zuph_> zorba64: I'll gladly DELETE the one directory on the drive that's corrupt if it saves the rest of the drive, I just can't get it to mount non-read only
[01:36] <kurt_> but on my desktop it's just a click on the partition
[01:36] <buu> I'm pretty sure OO.o used to work, but I managed to screw something up.
[01:36] <Zirg> kurt_, show me the output of  ls -l /media/   please.   my bad.
[01:36] <marty> jrib, thanks, all fixed. :)

[01:37] <Zirg> ne1, added a sound card, it's not working, how do you trouble-shoot in ubuntu for new hardware??
[01:37] <lasse_> Flannel, ok, will use that one from now on. whats wrong with ubuntuguide.org btw?
[01:37] <jvai> oi ppl!

[01:38] <Zirg> kurt_, your permissions are borqd!  the dir is owned by root and you have no rights to it.
[01:38] <andre> hey LJL, ubuntuguide is down, and I'd like to play a dvd,  what packages do I need to install?
[01:38] <kurt_> chown ?
[01:38] <LjL> !dvd > andre    (andre, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:38] <Zirg> kurt_, unmount it, to begin with, change ownership, then mount it and lets see what we see.
[01:38] <kurt_> i dont mind it being owned by root
[01:38] <jrib> kurt_: it means you should visit http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste large amounts of text

[01:39] <lasse_> Flannel, im taking your word for it
[01:39] <Zirg> kurt_, sorry, just saw that. Yes,  chown   is what you want.
[01:39] <andre> LjL: hehe tx
[01:39] <megafauna> hi lasse_, can I get some more help with realplayer? I'm it's my first time using the terminal and it's not working for me
[01:39] <kurt_> do I chown to users or to kurt ?
[01:39] <Zirg> kurt_, man chown  to see the syntax and capabilities.
[01:40] <lasse_> megafauna, sure buddy. Give me one second to figure out how to do it, then ill help you with it
[01:40] <megafauna> thanks:-)
[01:40] <Zirg> kurt_, man chown    Bugs. :-)  Get used to looking at those MANual pages. It will save you a lot of grief later in life.

[01:42] <lasse_> megafauna, you can do what ubotu tol you to do, or you can let me help you with it. Why dont you try with ubotu first, then ask if you dont get it, ok?
[01:42] <kev_b> lol megafauna, i don't think the bot cares
[01:42] <array> can I ask why aMSN works only if lanched from the root account logged? (otherwise it say i need TLS libraries but I've already got them)
[01:42] <GaiaX11> megafauna: ubotu is a bot :-)
[01:42] <megafauna> lasse_
[01:42] <megafauna> ok, didn't realise i was talking to a bot, suspected, but did not realise
[01:42] <kurt_> i did a chown to kurt:users
[01:42] <Zirg> kurt_, good, remount the partition.
[01:43] <kurt_> but when i did sudo mount .... it changed back to root root
[01:43] <kurt_> chown again?
[01:43] <Zirg> no
[01:43] <pollywog> I bumped into a manikin at JC Penney once and said "excuse me"
[01:43] <pollywog> so talking to a bot is okay
[01:43] <andre> LjL: tx dvd working :)
[01:43] <kurt_> no more chowns :(
[01:44] <shiv> knights crashing a lot. I am really depressed I guess linux has lot of bugs
[01:44] <megafauna> i had a friend who bumped into a manikin and apologised too, he never lived it down
[01:44] <hiptadahop> http://www.ozoneasylum.com/28921 << Job posting if you live in minnesota
[01:45] <Zirg> well, i guess i'm on my own with this hardware. (shrug)
[01:45] <Zirg> l8tr all
[01:45] <lasse_> shiv,  why dont you run it from a terminal and post the output it gives after a crash here  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[01:45] <kurt_> i tried the chown again but it ignored me
[01:45] <megafauna> am d/l'ing the debian codecs now
[01:45] <shiv> lasse_: let me do that
[01:46] <Wimpog> GUYS, one more question. So, I have two HDDs, Linux resides on one of them, windows - on another. In Linux, command fdisk -l displays them as labeled hdb and hdc. I wonder why it does not start with hda.
[01:47] <megafauna> is reading database....
[01:48] <megafauna> appears to be finished. I'm going to try to stream some realplayer through firefox
[01:48] <zorba64> Wimpog, cableng channels...master slave thing?
[01:48] <tarelerulz> I am lost how do you find the xgl tarball or better yet deb ?
[01:48] <kurt_> wtf ???
[01:49] <Wimpog> zorba64: yeah one of them is master, one of them is slave, BUT they're labeled as hdb and hdc. Why not hda and hdb?
[01:49] <GaiaX11> shiv: You cannot say that linux has lots of bugs only because for knights. For me linux is all right. Everything running smoothly as ever  :-)
[01:49] <shiv> lasse_: Here u go : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5503/
[01:49] <kurt_> where the ???? did i get sda from ???
[01:49] <lasse_> megafauna, you could just try out typing about:plugins  in firefox and check if you see any Helix there
[01:49] <lasse_> shiv, looking
[01:49] <hitmanWilly> Wimpog: something else must be calling itself hda

[01:49] <Wimpog> hitmanWilly: what might it be? fdisk -l doesnot even show hda
[01:49] <hitmanWilly> Wimpog: ive seen that from cd drives before
[01:50] <Wimpog> hitmanWilly: so cd-rom can be hda???
[01:50] <lasse_> shiv, huh, i dont get anythingf from this output, ask someone else to check on it
[01:50] <array> LjL: I followed the webpage about mounting partition but it seems to work just for 1 partition (I have 2 ntfs partitions), I put two rows in /etc/fstab
[01:50] <lasse_> shiv, sorry
[01:50] <tarelerulz> The reason I ask for that is I don't have net for my home computer and I have no idea what to do cvs .
[01:50] <hitmanWilly> Wimpog: hda,b etc are ide hard drives, which is what most cd drives act like

[01:51] <Wimpog> hitmanWilly: ok...  CD-ROM is Master on one of the IDEs
[01:52] <YelloJello> hi can anyone tell me how to get root priv. (like with copying files and stuff) and i already know the sudo command i want say my account to be root....
[01:52] <kurt_> grrrrr
[01:52] <YelloJello> but not the name
[01:53] <lasse_> YelloJello, i see what you want to do, but i would recommend not doing it
[01:53] <hitmanWilly> Wimpog: if its that big a deal, u could reconfig that with the jumpers on the drives
[01:53] <YelloJello> PLEASE i really would like it
[01:53] <cables> Is there any way to request for Gaim 2 Beta 6 to be backported to Edcy?
[01:53] <rjw_> hi all got a problem with my system, lots of apps seem to have stopped loading
[01:53] <cables> *Edgy
[01:53] <LiENUS> -9 == SIGKILL
[01:53] <array> ok, I pasted the file in the pastebin, this is the link http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5506/
[01:53] <Spragie`> I am running ubuntu and trying to install sound drivers from ALSA, everything has gone smoothly so far but it is asking to me to edit the kernel module config im not sure what to do
[01:53] <shiv> right now I have a hda3 of 1Kb size. I don't know what to do with it. I have no clue how it got there either
[01:53] <lasse_> YelloJello, you could log in as root. But you dont want to do it, its not safe
[01:54] <Anti-Tedd> Is there a way to get my original sources.list back?
[01:54] <megafauna> lasse_ I typed in about plugins and it brought up the page, told me I could play realmedia but didn't say anthing about helix
[01:54] <YelloJello> lasse_: just i need it i wont like do anyhting stupid...but it mostly for manually installing programs and or easyly changing splash screens
[01:54] <Wimpog> hitmanWilly: not, it is not a big deal, I was just curious, why I could not see hda as one my HDDs. Actually I tried to reconfig the jumpers, but my cd-rom did not like being a slave, and did not work, so I had to make it master again
[01:54] <GaiaX11> !root | YelloJello
[01:54] <ubotu> YelloJello: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:54] <Spragie`> I am running ubuntu and trying to install sound drivers from ALSA, everything has gone smoothly so far but it is asking to me to edit the kernel module config im not sure what to do
[01:54] <kurt_> lasse_,  can you explain why it is so easy to do on my desktop and so hard to do on my laptop
[01:54] <YelloJello> ubotu: already know that
[01:55] <kurt_> i think i done everything
[01:55] <hitmanWilly> Wimpog: probably the way the cables are hooked up
[01:55] <kurt_> besides throw this effing thing out the window
[01:55] <lasse_> kurt, My thought may be that you have the 3g drivers installed on your desktop, and not on your laptop. try sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[01:55] <array> hda2 works fine but if i try to open (nautilus) hda1 it says I don't have such rights (or it shows an empty folder like it's not mounted at all)
[01:55] <kurt_> no no 3g
[01:55] <kurt_> i havent got that far yet
[01:56] <kurt_> both systems are on feisty
[01:56] <kurt_> both updated last night
[01:56] <YelloJello> lasse_: please tell me... at leased if i screw up well its my fault
[01:56] <kurt_> however this is the alternate install
[01:56] <kurt_> but did i do wrong with my mounts ?
[01:56] <lasse_> YelloJello, You shouldnt do it like that. Do a sudo chmod 777 on the folder you want to copy files to, then youre user account is able to read write and execute from it. the manually installing apps, just do sudo -i   then youre loggid in as root
[01:56] <pic__> cya all
[01:57] <lasse_> megafauna, guess you should be alright then
[01:57] <kitche> !feisty | kurt_
[01:57] <ubotu> kurt_: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[01:57] <megafauna> lasse_ i'm not, yet...
[01:57] <kurt_> thats cool kitche
[01:57] <kurt_> but why is the one on my desktop different to the one on my laptop
[01:57] <lasse_> kurt_,  i dont know about feisty sorry
[01:57] <kurt_> ?
[01:57] <YelloJello> so say i wanted to copy a file into the usr folder i would use what exact commant
[01:58] <jnt> hey everyone. I'm having a problem with debarchiver on a local apt repository not finding the packages in incoming - it has worked in the past.
[01:58] <tarelerulz> Do any of you know anything about TRUEMOBILE 1180 INTERNAL 802.11 b mini-pci card?
[01:58] <jnt> debug output indicates that it doesn't seem to see any packages in incoming. anyone have any ideas?
[01:58] <lasse_> megafauna, ok. can you open realplayer from the terminal with the   realplay   command?
[01:59] <kurt_> it seems to be mounting but wont let me read
[01:59] <kurt_> i dont want to activate su on this installation
[01:59] <megafauna> i installed it, it asked me for my password and installed, but then i didn't know what to do and it hadn't appeared in the sound&vid menu
[01:59] <lasse_> YelloJello, ok.  first do    sudo chmod 777 -R /folder/you/want/to/be/able/to/copy/to
[01:59] <billybob> jnt: are you trying to say apt-get install <package>  doesnt work ?
[02:00] <lasse_> YelloJello, then       cp /file/you/want/to/copy /destination/to/where/you/want/it/copied/to/
[02:00] <Spragie`> I am running ubuntu and trying to install sound drivers from ALSA, everything has gone smoothly so far but it is asking to me to edit the kernel module config im not sure what to do
[02:00] <megafauna> lasse_ i installed it, it asked me for my password and installed, but then i didn't know what to do and it hadn't appeared in the sound&vid menu
[02:01] <jnt> billybob: no, debarchiver is scanning incoming and not seeing any packages to accept into the dist
[02:01] <lasse_> megafauna, ok. but try to open a terminal and type in  either   realplay   or   realplayer   . do you get anything?
[02:01] <jnt> it's a local apt repository
[02:01] <megafauna> lasse_ trying now
[02:01] <billybob> jnt: ah, not famailir with that, although soudns very usefull . . .
[02:01] <jnt> we use it a lot for home rolled or backported software
[02:02] <megafauna> lasse_ nothing: command not found.
[02:02] <lasse_> Spragie`, Im not sure at all but maybe you want to insert the module? Then sudo modprobe nameofmodule      and then check if its loaded by  sudo lsmod | grep nameofthemodule
[02:02] <megafauna> lasse_ I still have the .bin on my desktop if that helps
[02:02] <billybob> jnt: yeah, soudns like what i was trying to do over a year ago with debian, just never had teh time . .
[02:02] <lasse_> megafauna, ok. first, lets try   killall gnome-panel   , tehn check if its in the Sound/Video menu
[02:03] <GaiaX11> megafauna: type:  which realplay
[02:03] <kurt_> is there a graphical tool for mounting?
[02:03] <lasse_> megafauna, do as GaiaX11 said
[02:03] <megafauna> lasse_ k
[02:03] <Spragie`> lasse_, well i gedit'd the file it was talking about and it seems like it had just made the file...the only command in it was lp
[02:03] <megafauna> GaiaXll k
[02:04] <megafauna> GaiaXll which realplay does nothing, but at least it doesn't say command not found
[02:04] <lasse_> Spragie`, what file is this?
[02:04] <Joske> The Ubuntu live cd I burned does not boot properly, could someone help?
[02:04] <jvai> joske, u burned it @ 4x?
[02:04] <lasse_> Joske, i think you have to either dl or burn it again. check the md5 checksum
[02:04] <Joske> nope, at 10x
[02:05] <jvai> aaaah slllooooow burn @ joske
[02:05] <billybob> burn speed shouoldnt matter
[02:05] <jvai> 4x
[02:05] <GaiaX11> megafauna: do now: which realplayer
[02:05] <megafauna> am now trying Automatixs
[02:05] <megafauna> GaiaXll: ok
[02:05] <cpk1> megafauna: dont
[02:05] <Joske> as far as I can tell everything went right, I can also access all the files.. but when booting the process hangs after selecting boot/install on the second ubuntu logo
[02:05] <cables> megafauna, Automatix is a really bad idea
[02:05] <lasse_> megafauna, dont do automatix, its not a good way
[02:06] <Spragie`> lasse_ ... /etc/modules.conf
[02:06] <HymnToLife> yep, Automatix is evil
[02:06] <cables> megafauna, it can break installs badly, especially when you try to upgrade to the latest ubuntu
[02:06] <megafauna> oops
[02:06] <GaiaX11> megafauna: do now: which realplayer
[02:06] <megafauna> how do i stop it?
[02:06] <lasse_> Spragie`, isnt it supposed to be just /etc/modules in ubuntu?
[02:06] <megafauna> GaiaXll:  no response
[02:06] <cables> megafauna, is automatix running now, or are you installing it?
[02:06] <billybob> Joske: check the integretity of the iso, and if good, make sure your writer is clean, and after that, make sure the media you use is in good order
[02:06] <megafauna> it is running
[02:06] <megafauna> cables it is running
[02:06] <lasse_> Spragie`, check what is in you /etc/modules file
[02:06] <Spragie`> lasse_, i have no idea lol im a linux new-b
[02:07] <Joske> k
[02:07] <Spragie`> lasse_, k justa sec
[02:07] <megafauna> ooooopps
[02:07] <cables> megafauna, i'd use the automatix uninstaller to remove whatever you just installed with it, then remove automatix, then put your sources.list back to normal.
[02:07] <jvai> joske, slow burns migitate errors
[02:07] <megafauna> found the cancel button
[02:07] <lasse_> megafauna, :D
[02:07] <megafauna> cables: found the cancel button
[02:07] <cables> megafauna, you'll still need to fix your sources.list probably
[02:08] <megafauna> so how do i do that?
[02:08] <Joske> :o it did give me an error saying the cd should be finalized for all the data to fit.. but since it's a > 700 mB iso I wouldn't know why it wouldnt fit on a standard 80 min cd-r
[02:08] <GaiaX11> megafauna: dpkg --purge realplay or dpkg --purge realplayer. Then install everything again :-)
[02:08] <stian2> I need some help with restoring grub (yes, I installed windows). I've mounted my root under /mnt/temp and chroot'ed. I've got a sata drive, and my ext3 partition is on /dev/sda2 (although my /boot/grub/menu.lst boots on (hd0,1)). Anyways, when I launch grub and write: root (hd0,1) I get "error 21: selected disk not found". And, if I write "sudo fdisk -l" I get "cannot open /proc/partitions". Anyone care to help?
[02:08] <megafauna> calbes: there is a button to "Reove Automatix repositories form your souce list"
[02:09] <HymnToLife> Joske, it's normal - just click OK to finalize it
[02:09] <megafauna> GaiaXll k, doing now
[02:09] <youkilldkennedy> Hello
[02:09] <HymnToLife> !hi | youkilldkennedy
[02:09] <ubotu> youkilldkennedy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:09] <youkilldkennedy> Is anyone familiar with FreeLoader?
[02:09] <nexousNET> How do I figure out what my IP is when DHCP is on?
[02:09] <megafauna> GaiaXll requested operation requires superuser privilege
[02:09] <Joske> is finalizing needed for the cd to work?
[02:09] <lufis> Am I the only one having trouble using FTP in Nautilus? It gives me an error every time it try copying a file to a remote server
[02:09] <youkilldkennedy> Haha!
[02:09] <GaiaX11> megafauna: so sudo
[02:09] <HymnToLife> Joske, no, but it is required for the data to fit :p
[02:09] <youkilldkennedy> Does the program not start where it left off with downloads?
[02:09] <theherbalizer> hey guys, problem: trying to mount sda returns this:  "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,       missing codepage or other error       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try       dmesg | tail  or so"
[02:09] <GaiaX11> megafauna: sudo dpkg etc ...
[02:10] <lasse_> Spragie`, whats happening buddy?
[02:10] <megafauna> thought so, i just read that a min ago
[02:10] <rbil> nexousNET: you mean the ip addy assigned to your by your ISP?
[02:10] <theherbalizer> youkilldkennedy: freeloader? it does that to me
[02:10] <kekko> nexousnet: ifconfig
[02:10] <Joske> I'm using a rewritable disc, maybe that's the issue?
[02:10] <nexousNET> Okay, Thanks.
[02:10] <youkilldkennedy> theherbalizer: doesn't start where it left off?
[02:10] <HymnToLife> Joske, it should work, just finalize it
[02:10] <billybob> Joske: dotn finalize then, or use different media
[02:10] <v1rtualcowboy> gnite
[02:10] <HymnToLife> it's a bad idea though imo
[02:11] <megafauna> GaiaXll: The plot thickens: dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove realplay which isn't installed.
[02:11] <vote4arealclown> anyone have any idea how i get my opengl drivers loaded
[02:11] <vote4arealclown> i'm trying to play planscape
[02:11] <HymnToLife> vote4arealclown, ati or nvidia ?
[02:11] <vote4arealclown> nvidia
[02:11] <nexousNET> Also, How do I start up lampp (command: /opt/lampp/lampp start) on startup?
[02:12] <kitche> !nvidia | vote4arealclown
[02:12] <ubotu> vote4arealclown: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:12] <HymnToLife> !nvidia
[02:12] <billybob> Joske: i would recommend using normal media, and finalizing, i have never finalized a rw, so i couldnt sday if you would lock it down or not
[02:12] <BigMac> Alright guys my ubuntu won't load
[02:12] <BigMac> it go through grub then stops
[02:12] <HymnToLife> damn, kitche beat me to ie
[02:12] <Spragie`> lasse_, ok ... found the modules file....idk how i can edit it or what i should do to it because the only line that is not ignored is 'lp'
[02:12] <HymnToLife> it*
[02:12] <vote4arealclown> thanks dudes....and for the correction!
[02:12] <HymnToLife> billybob, finalizing a rw doesn't "lock" it
[02:13] <kurt_> i friggin give up
[02:13] <megafauna> GaiaXll so if I have realplayer on my desktop as a .bin file, how do I install it, I guess I hadn't been successful
[02:13] <HymnToLife> I still think it's a bad idea thoug, rw's are far less reliable that r's
[02:13] <kurt_> just too fustrating
[02:13] <Joske> hmm, I looked it up and it seems a complete erase will undo the finalizing again.. so I'll try that
[02:13] <billybob> HymnToLife: overburning a RW still isnt a good idea
[02:13] <BigMac> I stried recopying my xorg.conf with sudo cp xorg.conf.original-0 xorg.conf
[02:13] <HymnToLife> billybob, it's not overburning
[02:13] <BigMac> but it still will not load
[02:13] <lasse_> Spragie`, you can add the name of the module you want to load at boottime, but i would suggest you try to load it first with  sudo modprobe nameofthemodule     then     lsmod | grep nameofthemodule    to check if it has loaded
[02:14] <Joske> the fact that it reports the cd-rw to be too small is surprising in the first place
[02:14] <BigMac> is there anything else I can do short of reloading ubuntu with the live disc
[02:14] <megafauna> Can someone recommend a really good beginners guide to using the terminal?
[02:14] <billybob> Joske: use normal media . . .
[02:14] <Pelo> BiGcaT,sudo dpkg-recongifure xserver.conf
[02:14] <HymnToLife> Joske, no, the max amount of data you can burn on a 700 MiB CD without finalizing it is about 670 MiB
[02:15] <Pelo> Bibmac,sudo dpkg-recongifure xserver.conf
[02:15] <theherbalizer> anyone know how to fix this? "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,       missing codepage or other error       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try       dmesg | tail  or so"
[02:15] <rbil> megafauna: http://rute.2038bug.com/rute.html.gz
[02:15] <HymnToLife> cd-r and cd-rw as well
[02:15] <billybob> Joske: a CD without being overburnt is 650MB, just that most burners + media now days is capable of being overburnt RW is anotehr ballgame
[02:15] <Pelo> megafauna, http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84
[02:15] <Joske> ...lol, seriously?
[02:15] <lasse_> megafauna, i like this  one. its short and good http://linux.org.mt/article/terminal
[02:15] <billybob> yes.
[02:15] <Joske> so what they are marketing as 80 min discs are in fact 74 min discs capable of overburning?
[02:15] <HymnToLife> theherbalizer, you neer a number after /Dev/sda
[02:15] <jexdawg> how do i access ~/.gnome2/totem_config  ? like... uhh... where is it?
[02:16] <HymnToLife> to tell the kernel which partiton it needs to mount
[02:16] <theherbalizer> HymnToLife: does 0 count?
[02:16] <megafauna> THANKS ALL. I shall be dual booting for the next couple of weeks I guess till I get a handle on this "Terminal Thing"
[02:16] <billybob> Joske: whats the mdeia say as far as storage ?
[02:16] <theherbalizer> HymnToLife: oh, wait, im not mounting the swap, right? so just sda1?
[02:16] <HymnToLife> theherbalizer, no
[02:16] <billybob> because 80 minutes tells me nothign other than its an audio / video CD
[02:16] <Rees2> can anyone tell me why I can sudo but not login as root?
[02:16] <Pelo> jexdawg,    files and folders with a . at the begining are hidden
[02:16] <Joske> afaik 80 min's was in the orange book and whatnot (or however these standards r called nowadays)
[02:16] <brrrt> i have a problem running swiftfox on feisty64: everytime when i start swiftfox, a md5sum process starts to eat up both turion x2 cpu cores for about 30 seconds (!), please, how can this be ??
[02:16] <HymnToLife> theherbalizer, yep, if /dev/sda1 is the partiton you want to mount
[02:16] <HymnToLife> sudo fdisk -l will tell you if you're unsure
[02:17] <Joske> it says 80 min/700 MB
[02:17] <rbil> Rees2: because by default in Ubuntu, root doesn't have a password assigned
[02:17] <billybob> Joske: ah, ok, then im not sure if overburn plays a factor there
[02:17] <Rees2> rbil, I thought SUDO & root use the same password?
[02:17] <HymnToLife> Rees2, they don't
[02:17] <jexdawg> pelo - i checked "show hidden files" - where should it be?
[02:17] <HymnToLife> when you sudo, you use _your_ password
[02:18] <|ADZ|> I am getting the error: An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'): Could not claim interface 0 (Operation not permitted). Make sure no other program or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680, spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the device.
[02:18] <billybob> HD-CD :)
[02:18] <|ADZ|> when trying to connect to my camera
[02:18] <theherbalizer> HymnToLife: oh, got it now. thanks!
[02:18] <Joske> :p never heard of that
[02:18] <Pelo> jexdawg,  in your home folder
[02:18] <billybob> google :)
[02:18] <Joske> can you read it on a standard cd drive?
[02:18] <lasse_> ok, this has been nice, but its getting late. think its time to go to sleep. good night everybody
[02:18] <billybob> yeap
[02:18] <youkilldkennedy> HymnToLife: Any suggestions for a Torrent downloader that works well with GNOME?
[02:18] <Rees2> HymnToLife, so I guess I have to root my system?  or can I sudo and change the root password?
[02:18] <kurt_> lasse_,  i edited fstab
[02:18] <jexdawg> aha! thanks pelo
[02:18] <billybob> Joske: not many burners suported it
[02:18] <|ADZ|> anyone?
[02:18] <kurt_> lasse_,  hope that works
[02:18] <HymnToLife> youkilldkennedy, nope, KDE all the way since 1999 for me :)
[02:18] <particleman> ok I have the dumb question
[02:18] <kurt_> thanks for the advice though
[02:18] <lasse_> ok, just 2 more mins..
[02:19] <CoAX> hi there
[02:19] <lasse_> kurt_, ok try to sudo umount -a   then sudo mount -a
[02:19] <kurt_> lasse_,  sincerely
[02:19] <Pelo> youkilldkennedy,  utorrent running on wine is the preferred choice right now it seems but keep an eye out for deluge-torrent
[02:19] <particleman> is there something wrong with my settings if I'm trying to upgrade to 6.10 and it can only dl 44 of 45 files?
[02:19] <youkilldkennedy> HymnToLife: I see... why KDE?
[02:19] <kurt_> oh ok i was gonna reboot
[02:19] <HymnToLife> Rees2, you can set a root password if you want to
[02:19] <CoAX> is there an easy way to make the update manager update all the time silently?
[02:19] <HymnToLife> though I can't see why you would
[02:19] <lasse_> kurt_, that should reload the partition tabel (fstable)
[02:19] <youkilldkennedy> Pelo: Sure will! Thanks for the heads up.
[02:19] <BigMac> Can someone please help me really . I can't get any help on etiher channels igMac> and I can't see aything to do besides reinstalling which would be stupid
[02:19] <particleman> and on an unrelated note, anyone here know anything about getting surround sound to output properly with an SB5.1 card?
[02:19] <tritium> BigMac: did you state your exact problem?
[02:19] <HymnToLife> youkilldkennedy, because I like it better, I find Gnome to be awfully unfunctional, but this is quite !offtopic
[02:19] <nexousNET> Hi, How would I go about accessing a windows network driven harddrive?
[02:20] <bithunter> hi! mail-notification in ubuntu edgy has no support for mozilla-thunderbird. am i missing something or is this a bug? or should i post it as a feature reuqest?
[02:20] <Spragie`> lasse_, when i gedit /etc/modules, it gives me several lines starting w/ cannot find card '0', w/ a bunch of no such device lines
[02:20] <Joske> oh well, I'm going to sleep and try some more in the morning; humntolife, billybobm others: thanks for your support! :)
[02:20] <BigMac> tritium: Yah originally it sated X interface gui could not lod
[02:20] <linxeh> I have a dvd .iso I wish to burn - what should I use to burn this from within ubuntu?
[02:20] <kurt_> lasse_,  you know when you do at the end what you should have done at the beginning
[02:20] <BigMac> so i assumed it was from beryl
[02:20] <kurt_> i tmounts it reads
[02:20] <BigMac> and I can't figure out what to do
[02:20] <particleman> answers even
[02:20] <lasse_> Spragie`, jesus, thats not to be expected
[02:21] <lasse_> kurt_, true
[02:21] <kurt_> ok now i can see the data i need
[02:21] <kurt_> lasse_,  thank you so much
[02:21] <jexdawg> ermm.. in /gnome2 there is no totem_config file, only a totem file. this guide is telling me to edit totem_config - should i just edit the totem file?
[02:21] <lasse_> kurt_,  good for you. have nice night
[02:21] <tritium> BigMac: beryl?  Are you using edgy?
[02:21] <kurt_> off to try a wine install of peachtree
[02:21] <MarcN> linxeh: open the file browser (nautilus) and right click on the iso to start the burning program
[02:21] <Pelo> jexdawg,  do a search for the file they want first
[02:21] <lasse_> Spragie`, do you know what   nano  is?
[02:21] <billybob> ahhhh
[02:21] <Spragie`> no
[02:21] <kurt_> nano = editor
[02:22] <HymnToLife> yep, 10^-9 :p
[02:22] <billybob> good ole ceasar salad . . .
[02:22] <BigMac> tritium:yes
[02:22] <Spragie`> ic ic
[02:22] <Spragie`> is nano better than gedit?
[02:22] <linxeh> MarcN: I've tried that - it keeps telling me there isnt enough space on the disc, despite it being a new dvdr and the file being 2.7GiB
[02:22] <HymnToLife> Spragie`, they're different
[02:22] <CoAX> a lot of people in here
[02:22] <MarcN> Spragie`: depends on what you like.  I prefer emacs
[02:22] <billybob> nano is all there is as far as im concerned
[02:22] <lasse_> Spragie`, yeah   nano is a text editor in the terminal. I prefer vim  , but nano might be easier
[02:22] <CoAX> have a good night all
[02:22] <HymnToLife> nano is a command line editor, while gedit is a gui editor
[02:22] <lasse_> Spragie`,  try    sudo nano /etc/modules
[02:22] <MarcN> linxeh: well it works for me.  Try using k3b if you have it installed.
[02:23] <billybob> its not like you cant use nano in x geesh
[02:23] <particleman> I used gksu "update-manager -c"
[02:23] <billybob> man what planet you guys coem from ?!
[02:23] <Pelo> Spragie`,  nano will work without a gui which makes it a good thing to learn for when you get stuck in CLI
[02:23] <lasse_> Spragie`, first you do a sudo cp /etc/modules /etc/modules.backup
[02:23] <linxeh> MarcN: ok thanks, ill give that a go
[02:23] <Morgenroete> i have a question, its possible install and run AIXGL with fglrx?
[02:23] <kitche> Morgenroete: no with fglrx you need xgl
[02:23] <Morgenroete> thanks

[02:24] <HymnToLife> billybob, you know, xterm is still command-line...
[02:24] <hartsantler> i have apt-get'ed twiki, how to i run it, i do not see it listed in the Services?
[02:24] <billybob> how does xgl copmpare to beryl anyhow ?
[02:24] <billybob> compare*
[02:24] <particleman> !upgrade
[02:24] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:24] <billybob> ive never been able to get xgl working AIXGL ran perfectly fine on my 6600GT
[02:24] <kitche> billybob: they are two different things xgl is a server beryl is a window manager
[02:25] <billybob> HymnToLife: exactly my point HOWEVER blasphemy
[02:25] <HymnToLife> billybob, they're different things, XGL is a X implementation, while Beryl is a window manager...
[02:25] <lasse_> Spragie`, i need you to speed up a bit because im going to work tomorrow and its geting late here. Progress?
[02:25] <billybob> HymnToLife: ok, AIXGL then
[02:25] <HymnToLife> as far as I kner on top of Xorgow, AIGLX is just a lay
[02:26] <HymnToLife> while XGL is a completely different X server
[02:26] <Rees2> can anyone please tell me why my floppy drive mounted as /dev/sdc /media/floppy-1 rw fails and says Read Only file system (I'm using VFAT) AND Use floppy drive is checked for every user?
[02:26] <billybob> HymnToLife: a PITA to setup ?
[02:26] <Morgenroete> u cant play opengl games with AIXGL?
[02:26] <billybob> XGL that is
[02:26] <krznpsk> i can't connect my laptop to my wireless network, can someone please help me?
[02:26] <HymnToLife> billybob, as far as my experience gets, yes :p
[02:26] <billybob> Morgenroete: yes you can . . .
[02:26] <particleman> and...ok...that was useless
[02:26] <particleman> ok, one more time for those that just showed up
[02:26] <particleman> I'm trying to upgrade from Dapper to Edgy using gksu "update-manager -c"
[02:27] <linxeh> MarcN: thanks - thats working great
[02:27] <particleman> it goes fine and downloads 43 of the 45 necessary files
[02:27] <particleman> then I get a file not found on the other end error
[02:27] <Morgenroete> i want install aixgl becouse with xgl i cant run opengl games
[02:27] <billybob> Morgenroete: i used the SabayonLinux liveDVD< and ran the doom3 demo, worked perfect, except didnt work (which has nothign to do with graphics)
[02:27] <particleman> is this my problem or the repository's, and how do I resolve it?
[02:27] <Rees2> also, if I try sudo mv ... /media/floppy-1 it says "Operation not permitted"
[02:27] <billybob> except sound ddnt work*
[02:28] <Skuller> hey guys
[02:28] <lasse_> particleman, i would advice you to do a fresh install. but i dont know what the problem might be, sorry
[02:28] <Skuller> LOL...i m in Unreal Tournament rite now...i dint know it had an IRC client as well...lol
[02:28] <billybob> Morgenroete: anyhow, SabayonLInux LIveDVD uses Beryl, and i loaded AIXGL to play doom3
[02:28] <particleman> lasse_-why not an upgrade?
[02:29] <lasse_> particleman, often some things dont quite turn out how they should.. other times its flawless
[02:29] <particleman> hmm
[02:29] <Morgenroete> Billybob thanks
[02:30] <Skuller> what is the difference between a kubuntu CD and a DVD?...i mean what extras are there in it?
[02:30] <billybob> Skuller" probably every_possible_package ..
[02:30] <lasse_> Spragie`, Please i really want to help you, but this has to be a two way communication. talk to me man
[02:31] <Skuller> billybob: thnx...thas gud to know coz i m on slow broadband anywaiz...128kbps....
[02:32] <particleman> *sigh*
[02:32] <billybob> Skuller: i know nothing about install kbuntu, but would expect, anything that you NEED could also be downloaded one package at a time, for me personally, i think DVD sized installs are a waste of time / bandwidth
[02:32] <billybob> then again, i like min installs
[02:34] <icatalina> hi! i've compiled gimp with a wrong "prefix" option...
[02:34] <icatalina> then i uninstall it and delete the compilation folder

[02:35] <icatalina> any idea??
[02:35] <hartsantler> i'm getting crappy graphics performance, should i apt-get aiglx ? or get xgl ?  which is easy for nividia card?

[02:45] <Bourne> hi.. is there a way to make ubuntu 6.10 faster, I find the boot/shutdown process too slow, now I read that SysVinit is not anymore the script ruler in this release... how do I turn off stuff just like I used to with sysvinit?
[02:46] <EchoBinary> http://youtube.com/watch?v=D1Nq086QB1Q
[02:46] <cables> Bourne, I think it pretty much emulates sysvinit for all your startup services... someone should probably back that up though, i'm not entirely sure.
[02:46] <EchoBinary> ....   crap - sorry - wrong window
[02:47] <Bourne> cables: it is said that is some thing called upstart...
[02:47] <eternaljoy> whats KVM?
[02:47] <cables> Bourne, I know... I think it's compatible with init configuration scripts and can be configured the same way, though.
[02:47] <Kapuche> thx for the link EchoBinary  now i know who sing that ;)
[02:48] <cables> Bourne, there's a channel called #upstart with a few people in it...
[02:48] <Bourne> cables: you know the way we used to do... turning off by Sysiniv application
[02:48] <eternaljoy> !kvm
[02:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kvm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:48] <cables> Bourne, I think that may still work.
[02:49] <Bourne> cables: it doesn't, I marked for installation and immediately, the upstart in the list got marked as to-be-removed

[02:54] <ubotu> billybob: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[02:54] <juggernaut> how do i set permissions for a directory?
[02:54] <carlhume> bruenig, I'm following the how-to on www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76735.html
[02:54] <bruenig> !permissions | juggernaut
[02:54] <ubotu> juggernaut: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[02:54] <juggernaut> i remember it's a chown command but i can't remember all of it.
[02:54] <billybob> bruenig: relax, i sent two querries ffs . . .
[02:55] <bruenig> juggernaut, could be chmod, depending on what exactly you are dong
[02:55] <carlhume> bruenig, I'm guessing it's the deb that contains make-jpkg ...
[02:55] <juggernaut> bruenig, i just want to enable write permission to the azureus directory so it will update for me.
[02:56] <bruenig> juggernaut, write for everyone?
[02:56] <juggernaut> for me.
[02:56] <ferret_0567> you should download the offical Azureus, not use the Ubuntu one
[02:56] <juggernaut> bruenig, everybody would be ok too, as i'm the only one who uses this system.
[02:56] <bruenig> juggernaut, well chmod -R 777 would do all, if you just wanted you, you would need to chown it to yourself and then chmod u+w it
[02:57] <juggernaut> ferret_0567, what's different about the official, versus the ubuntu one?
[02:57] <DARKGuy> Hey, anybody knows how to remap my numeric pad return key to the normal return key? or how to make the numeric pad return key "work" in text input boxes and such?
[02:57] <bruenig> the official one was easier to manage for me because of the permission issues
[02:57] <juggernaut> hmm....
[02:57] <jvai> question: is ubuntu alternate install, the closest to debian's net install?
[02:58] <bruenig> !minimal | jvai
[02:58] <ubotu> jvai: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[02:58] <ferret_0567> The offical Azureus has a newer SWT library so that it'll crash less (atleast for me. I am using the Murrine GTK Engine)
[02:58] <juggernaut> thanks!  i'll look into it after i'm done downloading my current torrents.
[02:58] <juggernaut> i'm using xubuntu for now.  just wanted to try it out....
[02:58] <jvai> aaaaah ty bruenig .. & ubotu
[02:58] <andre> hey guys, how do I resize my swap partition?
[02:58] <juggernaut> my lappy is puny on specs and ubuntu was running rather slowly.
[02:59] <bruenig> andre, use gparted
[02:59] <carlhume> bruenig, Any guesses?
[02:59] <bruenig> carlhume, is that java for 64 bit?
[02:59] <bruenig> carlhume, or your initial question was about adding repo lines right?
[02:59] <carlhume> bruenig, yes
[02:59] <andre> bruenig,  I'll try that
[02:59] <juggernaut> would azureus contribute to bad sectors on my HD?
[02:59] <carlhume> bruenig, yes
[02:59] <jvai> wow! 10mb for a minimal install image! bettr than deb's net install, & smaller!
[02:59] <juggernaut> or frostwire?
[02:59] <maxx18> hey guys is it ok for me to dist-upgrade using Synaptic? (if i change sources.list manually)
[02:59] <heatman> Hi everyone. Does anyone use fluxbox with edgy? I cant find the .fluxbox folder after installing it via apt-get. Can someone help?
[02:59] <bruenig> andre, make sure you right click on it and select unmount before you try to resize
[03:00] <bruenig> carlhume, well /etc/apt/sources.list is where you would add it
[03:00] <kitche> heatman: did you run fluxbox yet?
[03:00] <juggernaut> what's fluxbox?
[03:00] <carlhume> bruenig, yes
[03:00] <carlhume> bruenig, I can't find what repo I need to add...
[03:01] <bruenig> carlhume, that howto is really old, year and a half, it is probably obselete
[03:01] <bruenig> obsolete*
[03:01] <heatman> a minimalist desktop... replace KDE... somewhat
[03:01] <DARKGuy> fluxbox = coolest thing ever
[03:01] <DARKGuy> Hey, anybody knows how to remap my numeric pad return key to the normal return key? or how to make the numeric pad return key "work" in text input boxes and such?
[03:02] <heatman> DARKGuy: can u tell me if u installed it with apt-get?
[03:02] <DARKGuy> heatman: yes, apt-get install fluxbox
[03:02] <carlhume> bruenig, hrm - well then, back to the drawing board
[03:02] <carlhume> bruenig, thx
[03:02] <DARKGuy> heatman: you need the universe/multiverse repositories enabled though
[03:03] <heatman> DARKGuy: can u tell me where i can find the .flubox folder? I wanna modify my menu and such
[03:03] <bruenig> carlhume, do you need just the plugin, because I know some howtos for that
[03:03] <DARKGuy> heatman: in /home/user/.fluxbox/
[03:03] <unop> heatman,  ~/.fluxbox
[03:03] <DARKGuy> heatman: It won't be there until you run fluxbox for the first time though
[03:03] <ubuntu_cry> hey
[03:03] <carlhume> bruenig, No - I need the SDK
[03:03] <ubuntu_cry> is there someone here
[03:03] <DARKGuy> heatman: and "man fluxbox" should tell you everything about the menu, startup and other files
[03:03] <ubuntu_cry> now i have one question
[03:03] <heatman> thats odd... could access it... just could
[03:03] <bruenig> !hi | ubuntu_cry
[03:03] <ubotu> ubuntu_cry: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:04] <posingaspopular> ubuntu_cry: there are plenty of people here
[03:04] <ubuntu_cry> bruenig man
[03:04] <carlhume> bruenig, I just found the java6 jdk in Multiverse - maybe I'll give it a whirl
[03:04] <andre> bruenig,  tx
[03:04] <ubuntu_cry> buenig
[03:04] <heatman> yeah i know how to make it work... just first time installing it via apt-get
