[04:30] <Ethan> asj, seems to be a nice beginning
[04:30] <plus-V-ducky> LOL
[04:30] <brenner> Givanisovic: he's a bot. :)
[04:31] <brenner> or it, rather
[04:31] <Ethan> esj, seems to be a nice beginning
[04:31] <tekeo> well tell me when u got time for kernel update then
[04:32] <orbx_> PalleLap > can you join #orbx please
[04:32] <esj> Ethan: y, and from there see: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/
[04:32] <ttcsvin> how can i change my rooter password
[04:32] <PalleLap> orbx_, No.
[04:32] <plus-V-ducky> Ohhhh... is that 'his' username is blootbot and /whois says 'ubuntu bot'  -- doh!
[04:32] <orbx_> PalleLap > oh i see
[04:32] <lokm> hi there... how to switch off ulimit?
[04:32] <ttcsvin> how can i change my rooter password
[04:32] <plus-V-ducky> err 'is that why...'
[04:32] <gnomefreak> kernel update? i thought breezy had latest kernel?
[04:32] <shawn> guys, just remind me, what bits do you comment out of xorg.conf when enabling nvidia drivers?
[04:33] <Givanisovic> brenner: thanx, i feel stupid now :-s, but it is my first time with irc...
[04:33] <Eternalist> okay heresmy question
[04:33] <Eternalist> How can i make it so
[04:33] <gnomefreak> 2.6.12 i thought was latest?
[04:33] <Eternalist> i can mount my windows partition to directory /Windows
[04:33] <topyli> ttcsvin: with passwd. but why?
[04:33] <plus-V-ducky> ttcsvin, is taht a Cisco rooter you have or a Roto-rooter ?   ;-)
[04:33] <Eternalist> and then have any user access it
[04:33] <brenner> Givanisovic: np, done it myself. :)
[04:33] <Eternalist> because i dont want to run BMP as root everytime i want to listen to music
[04:33] <ttcsvin> Topyli , why what?
[04:34] <lokm>  how to switch off ulimit?
[04:34] <Eternalist> brenner, do you know?
[04:34] <topyli> ttcsvin: root logins are disabled. why do you want to enable them?
[04:34] <plus-V-ducky> ttcsvin, did you just install Ubuntu for the first time?
[04:34] <Ethan> esj, I didn't though before to look at "Accessibility apps", thanks again I will not read all now but I may join you later to chat about
[04:35] <esj> k
[04:35] <shawn> can anyone tell me what to comment out of xorg.conf for nvidia drivers? i know to comment out dri but im sure there was something else too
[04:35] <brenner> lokm: ulimit -<whatever> unlimited
[04:35] <Eternalist> ttcsvin, enable them like this, sudo /bin/bash then type passwd and set the root password
[04:35] <Eternalist> done
[04:35] <plus-V-ducky> If you boot the 'recovery kernel' fromt eh GRUB menu and then do 'passwd' when it gives you a shell prompt in the console, you can set a root password.
[04:35] <Eternalist> brenner, any idea on what to do?
[04:35] <brenner> Eternalist: not really sorry...how are you mounting currently?
[04:35] <Eternalist> dammit
[04:35] <Norrland> brenner: i get into recovery mode, but either the command u gave me doesn't work or i don't know how to use it...
[04:35] <Eternalist> brenner, i mount as root, i haveno choice
[04:35] <lokm> brenner: thxxxxx a lot... and wil be unlimited after reboot too?
[04:35] <Eternalist> then of course i try to go in that directory as my user and it gives me a Permission Denied
[04:36] <brenner> lokm: should be
[04:36] <topyli> Eternalist: it won't work. sudo will ask for root password, but there is none
[04:36] <lokm> brenner: oki thx :)
[04:36] <Eternalist> topyli, it works for me
[04:36] <Eternalist> i set my password for my user, i supply that when prompted for password after sudo
[04:36] <brenner> Norrland: i just gave you a command that makes a bacup of your config file, before you start editing...what went wrong?
[04:36] <topyli> Eternalist: bleh. forget what i said. i thought you said su
[04:36] <Eternalist> then i get bash as root, then i type passwd
[04:36] <Eternalist> lol
[04:36] <Eternalist> i like my root user, sometimes i dont want to type sudo before every single thing
[04:36] <Eternalist> and i forget to run vim with sudo and then i get a "cant write out" error, and it pisses me off
[04:37] <fevoldj2> Hi
[04:37] <BucketHead> Dude, nice.
[04:37] <fevoldj2> Has anyone had luck getting ndiswrapper to install?
[04:37] <topyli> Eternalist: you don't use sudo for every single thing :)
[04:37] <plus-V-ducky> shawn I went through aptitude and removed driver packages and also 'unchecked' a pile when debconf ran the first time I installed X.org x-server, IIRC.
[04:37] <fevoldj2> to work correctly*
[04:37] <picca> it seems the ubuntu has a bug and it can't work with intel 82801DB
[04:37] <Eternalist> topyli, well for instance
[04:37] <Eternalist> topyli, to edit the /etc/fstab
[04:37] <BucketHead> Unbuntu is so nice on my lappy
[04:37] <Eternalist> u need root access
[04:37] <Norrland> i can't get the command to work... is there alot of editing involved in getting this to work?
[04:37] <topyli> Eternalist: how often do you edit your fstab?
[04:37] <BucketHead> fevoldj2, ndiswrapper should be installed by default.
[04:37] <Eternalist> well its an example
[04:37] <Eternalist> theres lots of other things that u need root for
[04:37] <Eternalist> and sudo becomes tedious
[04:38] <BucketHead> fevoldj2, - whats your specific issue?
[04:38] <Eternalist> maybe its just me who accesses root owned files lol
[04:38] <shawn> plus-V-ducky, well im getting 9000fps in glxgears so i guess its working ok
[04:38] <lokm> brenner: bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
[04:38] <brenner> Norrland: a little.  not much.  what's the error you get?
[04:38] <Eternalist> lokm, sudo
[04:38] <Eternalist> topyli, theres an example, operation not permitted, because he isnt root
[04:38] <fevoldj2> I had my wireless working fine, but after I did apt-get upgrade, it stopped working. I tried reinstalling my wireless driver too.
[04:38] <plus-V-ducky> uhhh, did you mean *Nine-Thousand* fps?!
[04:38] <lokm> Eternalist: sudo: ulimit: command not found
[04:38] <BucketHead> Yikes
[04:38] <lokm> :(
[04:38] <mavric> hello
[04:38] <topyli> Eternalist: i use my machine to work. sudo is rarely needed
[04:39] <Eternalist> topyli, ic ic
[04:39] <greedyb> hey guys when I start Synaptic I get random errors, but I updated my repositories in the last month
[04:39] <greedyb> any ideas
[04:39] <Eternalist> anyway, back to this windows partition thing
[04:39] <mavric> no u domt
[04:39] <defcon8> is it possible to move through menus without having to click on the new title every time if you know what i mean?
[04:39] <brenner> lokm: what's the full command you used?
[04:39] <defcon8> in windowmaker
[04:39] <defcon8> and for the submenus to automatically open
[04:39] <topyli> !mountwindows
[04:39] <ubotu> I heard mountwindows is Download and run http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/winmac_fstab to make your windows or mac partitions mount automatically)
[04:39] <topyli> Eternalist: ^
[04:39] <lokm> brenner: root@club:~# ulimit -n unlimited
[04:39] <lokm> bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
[04:39] <lokm> root@club:~# sudo ulimit -n unlimited
[04:39] <lokm> sudo: ulimit: command not found
[04:39] <Norrland> i guess it's just me new to all of these commands... i just try to type it in like u said: /etc/x11/xorg.conf and then /etc/x11/xorg.backup?
[04:39] <brenner> greedyb: define random errors
[04:39] <shawn> plus-V-ducky, yes indeed
[04:39] <mavric> my cmp sucks balls
[04:40] <mavric> how can i fix tat
[04:40] <plus-V-ducky> Everyone see Danny|'s QUIT message?    I'm using my computer through freeNX and would like to say to other people using it: "Please, don`t shutdown this computer". I've tried xmessage, but it seems that it`s not sending to everybody
[04:43] <plus-V-ducky> are you a tuxgamer-god?
[04:43] <brenner> Norrland: you missed a bit: sudo cp /etcX11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.backup
[04:43] <dooglus> is there any way to get online using the breezy live cd and a broadcom wireless interface?
[04:43] <plus-V-ducky> Re: ubuntu: Hey hoser, pass the back bacon, eh.
[04:43] <plus-V-ducky> ;-)
[04:43] <gnomefreak> what is the website for breezy packages?
[04:44] <Eternalist> All windows and mac partitions will now be mounted every time you boot
[04:44] <Eternalist> You do not need to reboot, the partitions are mounted now too
[04:44] <Eternalist> chris@linuxbox:~$ cd /Windows/

[04:44] <dooglus> pacakges.ubuntu.com gnomefreak
[04:44] <gnomefreak> ty dooglus
[04:44] <gnomefreak> dooglus,  thats not it
[04:44] <dooglus> gnomefreak: why not?
[04:44] <gnomefreak> it said it cant be found
[04:44] <brenner> greedyb: i get the same problem: apt-get update to resolve it
[04:45] <greedyb> ok thanks
[04:45] <dooglus> gnomefreak: you have to spell pacakges right...
[04:45] <defcon8> anyone help with windowmaker?
[04:45] <gnomefreak> oops
[04:45] <brenner> greedyb: your apt-cache was deleted
[04:45] <mirak> firefox is really unstable on amd64
[04:45] <mirak> or I have broken something
[04:45] <Norrland> brenner: ok, but what do i do after that? i need like a list, cause i can't stay on mIRC while i edit...
[04:45] <dooglus> http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[04:45] <Dr_Willis> defcon8,  in what way.
[04:46] <brenner> Norrland: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:46] <dooglus> can the breezy live cd make wireless connections? if so,where's the setup program for wireless?
[04:46] <mirak> segmentation fault
[04:46] <eric__> I've got a problem setting up my sound card. Ubuntu autodetected it and the device should be working, and I've connected all the cables necessary to get it to work. I believe the chipset is CMI8738. Anyone have any ideas?
[04:46] <brenner> Norrland: choose defaults if you're unsure of anything, then reboot when done
[04:46] <Hoxzer> Nyt nyt ei leikkaaaaa
[04:46] <Sarvell> Im looking for info on getting the sound for my tv tuner to work
[04:47] <J_P> hey all, i use equal sources.list in x64  and x86 ?
[04:47] <Norrland> ok and that should be it?
[04:47] <J_P> oe have one special sources.list for 64bits ?
[04:47] <avalost> !w32codecs
[04:47] <ubotu> I heard w32codecs is binary only codecs that some call evil. You can get them by going to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats, and looking for "The Codecs". Another possible download location is http://seveas.ubuntu.nl/
[04:47] <J_P> i install ubuntu amd64 in my p4 EM64T
[04:47] <dooglus> J_P: use the same sources.list for both
[04:47] <J_P> but i see sources.list is ruqal ubuntu x86
[04:47] <Manny> hi
[04:47] <Manny> are there any plans to add more -dbg packages?
[04:47] <NeoKre8or> J_P - wat kind of cpu and distro you running?
[04:48] <brenner> Norrland: hopefully :)
[04:48] <brenner> Norrland: if not, come back here and we'll do some more fiddling
[04:48] <Norrland> i'll try... thanks for all the help for now!!
[04:48] <Sarvell> I would also like to figure out how to get num lock on during startup
[04:48] <Manny> I'm specifically looking for libpoppler-glib-gdb and libpoppler-gdb
[04:48] <Manny> s^gdb^dbg^g
[04:49] <brenner> Sarvell: install numlockx
[04:49] <Sarvell> thanks
[04:49] <vivekian> hey any kernel gurus here ?

[04:50] <ubotu> wireless is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards
[04:50] <plus-V-ducky> !ndiswrapper
[04:50] <ubotu> ndiswrapper is, like, totally, a way to support Windows wireless drivers, but it is buggy compared to native support. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetUpNdiswrapper
[04:50] <plus-V-ducky> !broadcom

[04:50] <J_P> dooglus: but not need 64 bits software for 64 bis machine ?
[04:50] <brenner> Sarvell: as for sound: (a) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems (b) search the forum, maybe with "sound" and "tuner" as strings
[04:51] <J_P> NeoKre8or: i am using P4 Em64T and ubuntu amd64
[04:51] <plus-V-ducky> J_P look at the linux32 package
[04:51] <Sarvell> thanks again any setup req'd for num lock or just the install?
[04:51] <dave> ok
[04:51] <dooglus> J_P: sources.list doesn't specify i386 or amd64.
[04:51] <plus-V-ducky> # apt-get install linux332
[04:52] <brenner> Sarvell: just the install iirc
[04:52] <plus-V-ducky> -3
[04:52] <Sarvell> thanks
[04:52] <brenner> np
[04:52] <dooglus> J_P: your machines know whether they are i386 or amd64, and download the appropriate packages from the repositories you give them

[05:00] <dooglus> J_P: all official ubuntu packages are available for all supported architectures.
[05:00] <blackhat> anyone know where i can get the libSDL-1.2 .so file i386/x86 version, i need it for ut2004
[05:01] <Dr_Willis> dave,  run the 'mount' command and see if its still mounted.
[05:02] <dooglus> blackhat: libsdl1.2debian-all
[05:02] <hellblade> hello peeps. I want to ask your opinion on Debian sid with KDE (I am using this for about 2 years now) versus Kubuntu. pros and cons... how stable is it compared to testing and unstable? and how fast do new versions get to repository?
[05:02] <blackhat> dooglus; ?
[05:03] <dooglus> blackhat: in answer to your question.  that's the package you need
[05:03] <plus-V-ducky> blackhat install SDL
[05:03] <blackhat> I have it
[05:03] <blackhat> i need the i386 version
[05:03] <blackhat> i run a 64 bit though
[05:03] <Dr_Willis> hellblade,  i imagine Kubuntu is more up to date..  but it you like what you got..  why change. :P
[05:03] <plus-V-ducky> it will include any kernel modules
[05:03] <J_P> dooglus: thank you
[05:03] <blackhat> I need someone with the i386 version of the file.
[05:03] <Dr_Willis> hellblade,  they have the latest kde in beta testing.. but it has a few issues I reall.
[05:03] <dooglus> blackhat: you can get the i386 version from http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[05:03] <senectus> good god what am I doing awake at this time of the night :-P
[05:03] <plus-V-ducky> (some games come with it precompiled)
[05:04] <blackhat> I need the file only, not the package.
[05:04] <dooglus> senectus: typing?
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> hellblade,  so if you Must have the latest kde..  kubuntu will have it befor debian sid will.
[05:04] <plus-V-ducky> senectus, if you don't know, would we?!?  LOL
[05:04] <blackhat> dooglus, i run an amd64 bit, i need the i386 version of the file, not the binary... i dont want to have to install it, i just want the file thats in it.
[05:04] <hellblade> Dr_Willis: I like debian but unstable has many bugs
[05:05] <Dr_Willis> hellblade,  yep. well not Many. :P but a few.
[05:05] <topyli> hellblade: new stable ubuntu is released every six months, no version upgrades in between
[05:05] <hellblade> topyli> what about bug fixes?
[05:05] <topyli> hellblade: bug and security patches of course. just no new versions
[05:06] <topyli> hellblade: i.e. it's stable
[05:06] <plus-V-ducky> blackhat, that sounds like 'fuyn' have you tried installing SDL using linux32 (a long shot)
[05:06] <hellblade> topyli>nice... I think that's what I want
[05:06] <Ophiocus> just to get this little detail straight,. were should i put all my user files? aka pdf tesxtfiles images music etc?
[05:06] <blackhat> its hard to explain, I want to play Ut2004 on my amd64 ubuntu, but it wants this file thats already on my computer... except its a 64 bit version.. it wants 32 bit
[05:07] <eSPete> how do make some apps start when i log in through gdm in ubuntu when i use fluxbox?
[05:07] <hellblade> and something else; can I install debian packages if something isn't built for ubuntu?
[05:07] <topyli> hellblade: i used debian sid for a long time, but it was a bit tiresome to maintain. so i switched to ubuntu and i've been happy
[05:07] <brenner> Ophiocus: i make folders in /home/<username>
[05:07] <orbx> ok
[05:08] <topyli> hellblade: not the binaries, but debian sources build very well on ubuntu
[05:08] <plus-V-ducky> http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=3  <-- blackhat maybe what you want is here
[05:08] <topyli> hellblade: besides, ubuntu has just about everything that sid has, and some extra too
[05:08] <blackhat> thanks.
[05:09] <hellblade> topyli>I didn't know that! maybe I should give it a try now:P thank you very much my friend
[05:09] <topyli> happy hacking!

[05:10] <mcphail> blackhat: install in a 32 bit chroot
[05:10] <Riddell> sorry  mirak
[05:10] <mirak> is there any huge bug in daper ?
[05:10] <bengaul> thanks, can i get them from synaptic?
[05:10] <Riddell> mirak: kubuntu dapper runs fine for me
[05:11] <deFrysk> mirak, if not there one no there will be one later
[05:11] <mp3guy> riddell, will it carry over if i restart? I want something to reset every month
[05:11] <mirak> deFrysk: I think I have broken my breezy 64. I installed a dapper package en firefox always crashes now
[05:11] <donza> does totem make your videos look overbright?
[05:11] <plus-V-ducky> blackhat, "you can find people hanging out on the IRC server at irc.freenode.net on the channel #SDL"
[05:12] <donza> i can't use it because of that
[05:12] <deFrysk> mirak, its not wise to install binaries from dapper into breezy
[05:13] <topyli> donza: try edit -> preferences -> display, there are controls
[05:13] <deFrysk> mirak, also see topic ;)
[05:13] <donza> topyli: i know
[05:13] <plus-V-ducky> I think you're SOL on the SDL 64-bit src, but maybe they have something on the v2.0 CVS or it can be installed with linux32
[05:13] <donza> topyli: thats just annoying feature
[05:13] <plus-V-ducky> v2.0 is unstable/testing
[05:14] <donza> topyli: because after launching totem it affects all players that use xv
[05:14] <topyli> donza: do you use xine or gstreamer as the backend? does xine have the same bug?
[05:14] <donza> xine
[05:14] <Morrigu> how do I disable/enable xorg extensions (not modules) ?
[05:14] <donza> and gstreamer
[05:14] <donza> topyli: mplayer and xine player works fine
[05:14] <plus-V-ducky> donxa, you can't have both on the same system
[05:14] <donza> topyli: it seems to be totem problem
[05:15] <sfChrisJacob> Hey all... I am trying to get mp3's playing... I have installed the win32codecs package, but still no luck. Rythmbox (or whatever app) shows that they are playing but no sound. (System sounds are working fine, so I know it's not a soundcard thing) Any ideas?
[05:15] <topyli> donza: strange. one would think it's up to the backend but i guess not
[05:15] <plus-V-ducky> They have conflicts
[05:15] <donza> topyli: yup
[05:15] <plus-V-ducky> but you can xine-ui and totem-gstreamer
[05:15] <deFrysk> !tell sfChrisJacob about mp3
[05:15] <donza> plus-V-ducky: sorry?
[05:16] <donza> plus-V-ducky: you mean i cant have totem xine and xine ui on the same system?
[05:16] <sfChrisJacob> deFrysk: Dont think the bot caught the command... can you try again?
[05:17] <deFrysk> !mp3
[05:17] <ubotu> somebody said mp3 was to enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[05:17] <deFrysk> sfChrisJacob, better ?
[05:17] <sfChrisJacob> cool thanks!
[05:17] <donza> plus-V-ducky: i have installed xine ui _after_ i noticed that totem xine does that overbrightness thing
[05:17] <plus-V-ducky> totem-xine and totem-gstreamer confict.  If you use a package manager lie apt-get, it won't let you install both.  Xine-ui is a stardalone version of xine with it's own UI (user interface) and it does not conflict with totem-gstreamer
[05:18] <donza> plus-V-ducky: ok.. i have totem-xine and xine-ui
[05:18] <plus-V-ducky> I've built it from src packages though
[05:18] <donza> and mplayer
[05:18] <mp3guy> is there any program i can use to monitor monthly bandwidth usage?
[05:18] <dogmcbone> mrtg
[05:18] <dawidjj> I've question... source for MPlayer (Kubuntu 5.10)
[05:18] <dawidjj> packages
[05:19] <sfChrisJacob> DeFrysk: Yes much!, except these instructions are along the same lines as the ones I have already followed. It says installing the win32codecs package should take care of it... Alas it doesn't seem to....
[05:19] <plus-V-ducky> donza that works fine -- you can even use different xine libs for the two if you like butr as I said re: gstreamer...
[05:19] <deFrysk> sfChrisJacob, read about mp3
[05:19] <Eternalist> Anyone know how to get some sick transparent terminals?
[05:19] <mirak> mp3guy: cacti
[05:19] <deFrysk> not only w32codecs
[05:19] <donza> plus-V-ducky: ok :)
[05:19] <recon0> Does anyone know how to install .wmv support to linux?
[05:19] <Manny> running dapper on a thinkpad results in quiet a lot of disk access
[05:19] <recon0> i mean ubuntu?
[05:20] <Manny> is disk access also APM/ACPI-influenced
[05:20] <Manny> ?
[05:20] <redduck666> recon0, you probably need thingy called win32codecs
[05:20] <brenner> ubotu: tell recon0 about w32codecs
[05:20] <plus-V-ducky> recon0, .wmv is a file wrapper not a true protocol so some .wmv will play and some are less supported
[05:21] <marcel__> hallo
[05:21] <deFrysk> sfChrisJacob, read the Media Players provided by Ubuntu and install the suggested packages and read about beep-media-player
[05:21] <plus-V-ducky> mplayer vlc and  xine all have win32 codecs
[05:21] <dogmcbone> for Eternalist : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=282122
[05:21] <recon0> ubotu seems to be a robot
[05:21] <ubotu> recon0: What?
[05:22] <plus-V-ducky> hmmm.... seems like you guys need a spin-off channel "#ubuntu.multimedia" almost  =)
[05:22] <deFrysk> sfChrisJacob, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeepMediaPlayer for example
[05:22] <ptlo> plus-V-ducky, wmv *is* a file format..., there are just different versions of it, and some don't have free codecs (the format is not publicly available). avi is a container for different codecs, though
[05:23] <BlueEagle> How would you recomend automatically dropping any and all traffic from IPs that have failed ssh login more than 10 times in a hour?
[05:23] <Stormx2> who wanted wmv support?
[05:23] <plus-V-ducky> oh, thanks for straightening me out  -- got it backwards I guess
[05:23] <BlueEagle> I would think that snort would be up to it, but I am not sure how to configure it.
[05:23] <dave> how do i install windows
[05:23] <recon0> ubout: tell recon0 about w32codecs
[05:23] <dave> i dont want linux now
[05:23] <Stormx2> lmao dave
[05:23] <plus-V-ducky> ptlo, what's that ubuntu.com URI for restricted formats?
[05:23] <Stormx2> check #windows
[05:24] <recon0> ubotu tell me about w32codecs
[05:24] <dave> please help
[05:24] <dave> how do i get it back
[05:24] <BlueEagle> dave: Instert the windows installation CD and install windows.
[05:24] <Stormx2> dave: Ask in #windows
[05:25] <BlueEagle> dave: Be aware that the windows installer overwrites the MBR so you will need to manally install grub if you want to dual boot.
[05:25] <Stormx2> BlueEagle: He says he doesn't like linux :(
[05:25] <gnomefreak> dave: may i ask why you gave up on linux?
[05:25] <gnomefreak> dave: or what about linux you dont like?
[05:25] <BlueEagle> stormx2: What he really means is that he don't want to read the friendly manual.
[05:25] <deFrysk> dave smells like troll
[05:26] <dave> i dont freel comfortable on linux
[05:26] <gnomefreak> i agree deFrysk
[05:26] <BlueEagle> stormx2: Kina like me and snort I guess.
[05:26] <BlueEagle> Kinda*
[05:26] <deFrysk> dave, if you can install linux you also can install windows so stop trolling please ;)
[05:26] <gnomefreak> dave: if you use windows for surfing web email and crap like that its not any different
[05:26] <plus-V-ducky> deFrysk, could that be because he's a Qt developer from trolltech.com ?   <wink>
[05:26] <dave> i dont feel comfortable in linux
[05:27] <deFrysk> hehe plus-V-ducky
[05:27] <plus-V-ducky> dave, you can get therapy for that you know.   ;-D
[05:27] <BlueEagle> dave: If you read the instructions when installing linux you will know how to install windows. If you didn't you should have.
[05:28] <slot|processor> Can anyone direct me towards some very very complete repositories? Stuff like...xine...mplayer...  Thanks :)
[05:28] <deFrysk> !tell slot|processor about repositories
[05:29] <gnomefreak> how do you invite ppl to a room? :(
[05:29] <dawidjj>  repositories.... Could You give few adresses?
[05:29] <labandus> ubuntui#
[05:29] <labandus> hi
[05:29] <jasmuz> !repositories
[05:29] <fevoldj2> Hi
[05:29] <ubotu> somebody said repositories was How to add repositories:  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto See !sources for example sources.list
[05:30] <plus-V-ducky> ubotu, tell me about libdvdcss please
[05:30] <labandus> how do you do
[05:30] <gnomefreak> !sources
[05:30] <ubotu> A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969 (Hoary) or http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325 (Breezy) - Create your own sources.list at http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[05:30] <fevoldj2> I've got ndiswrapper installed okay and wpa_supplicant. The light for my wireless card is on, but I cannot get an IP from the router.
[05:30] <gnomefreak> that might be more for what you r looking for
[05:30] <dawidjj> Thank You :]
[05:30] <holycow> would anyone know if it is possible to edit the list of screen savers in xscreensaver?
[05:31] <holycow> deleting the config and screensaver files is fine, it would be nice to actually remove the entries from the list as well
[05:31] <fevoldj2> The settings I have should work, because they worked before I did a "apt-get upgrade"
[05:31] <plus-V-ducky> "dpkg knew: libdvdcss is NOT in debian - those who even utter its name can expect to be shipped to Guantanamo Bay. for filthy patent-free europeans, see /usr/share/doc/libdvdread?/README.Debian or run /usr/share/doc/libdvdread?/examples/install-css.sh"
[05:32] <plus-V-ducky> Does anyone know: Has DVD John been aquited again in Norway?
[05:34] <plus-V-ducky> fevoldj2, did debconf run?  Did you do apt-get dist-upgrade? Synaptic 'smart upgrade'?  What about the SSID and WEP key (if any)?
[05:35] <fevoldj2> Well in this case since I'm using WPA_Supplicant it's setup a bit differently.
[05:35] <Airo> so...
[05:35] <plus-V-ducky> Oh, I don't know anything about that (I do sel the odd Wifi RR, though)
[05:35] <Airo> anyone on ppc? :)
[05:36] <Manny> I've installed laptop-mode-tools and still get a disk access every few seconds. Any ideas?
[05:36] <Manny> is FAM on crack?
[05:36] <fevoldj2> It's wierd though because like I said, all I did was an upgrade.
[05:36] <holycow> we should stop shipping ubuntu with so many crap screensavers imho
[05:37] <holycow> heh
[05:37] <plus-V-ducky> fevoldj2, gone through all your settings with a fine toothed comb to see if any have changed yet?
[05:37] <Manny> holycow, just use gnome-screensaver
[05:37] <Slackwise> Sooo, is there a clean way to install Firefox 1.5?
[05:37] <Manny> (it has two screensavers, and a blank mode)
[05:37] <recon0> ls
[05:37] <holycow> Manny, that isn't a screen saver
[05:37] <[RedX] > hey i have two hard drives, one has windows, and the other was my just storage hd, i installed ubuntu on storage, and the grub is on my mbr (windows hd) now, i want to have ubuntu only so how can i remove windows and fix up the grub thing so i only have ubuntu and i use my hd with windows.. as a storage hd
[05:38] <holycow> that is undeveloped piece of nad
[05:38] <Manny> holycow, it is an alternative to xscreensaver
[05:38] <holycow> actually its not
[05:38] <holycow> heh
[05:38] <Manny> holycow, what's wrong with it?
[05:38] <holycow> far too immature for that
[05:38] <holycow> what do you mean whats wrong with it? have you used it?
[05:38] <Airo> Anyone had ifconfig go wild?
[05:38] <Manny> I use it, yes
[05:38] <recon0> does anyone know how to play .mpg files?
[05:38] <Airo> Like, eating 100% cpu
[05:39] <holycow> Manny, some day it will replace xscreensaver yes, the xscreen dude i don't think is doing much with that, however i will wait to see what happens
[05:39] <Karat3> hi
[05:39] <holycow> i don't like it
[05:39] <gnomefreak> mpg or mp3?
[05:40] <gnomefreak> i have that talking cow just cant figure out how to use it
[05:40] <gnomefreak> :)
[05:40] <brenner> didn't the xscreensaver guy switch to macs?
[05:40] <slot|processor> ubotu, Thanks! added the pastebin repos to sources.list and and it seems like planetmirror has alot of what i need
[05:40] <ubotu> bitte, slot|processor
[05:40] <plus-V-ducky> hmmm.. fevoldj2 I just had a thought: maybe the upgrade did something your dhcp client which runs on top of physical layer?
[05:40] <[RedX] > ubuntu doesnt come with xmms ?
[05:40] <Karat3> i tried to install debian with using debootstrap from a ubuntu boot cd. I wonder why is there xorg installed???
[05:40] <gnomefreak> [RedX] , you have to apt-get it or get it from synaptic
[05:40] <brenner> [RedX] : not by default, no
[05:40] <[RedX] > ok
[05:41] <Karat3> cab you tell me, why this is???
[05:41] <brenner> [RedX] : but xmms and beep are in the repo
[05:41] <gnomefreak> !xmms
[05:41] <ubotu> xmms is probably to get xmms to work in Ubuntu Hoary, set the output plugin to eSound (right-click on the XMMS window, then choose Options -> Preferences)
[05:41] <Manny> holycow, what gnome-screensaver version are you referring to?
[05:41] <gnomefreak> well that hasnt been updated :(
[05:41] <brenner> gee, at least one trigger needs re-writing
[05:42] <holycow> Manny, whatever is in breezy
[05:42] <[RedX] > lol
[05:42] <psusi> I changed my sources.list to point to dapper instead of breezy, then did an apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade.. it looked like it upgraded me to dapper, only a number of packages are not using the newer dapper versions
[05:42] <Manny> breezy has an outdated version
[05:43] <holycow> really?
[05:43] <holycow> weird
[05:43] <gnomefreak> breezy has outdated version of what?
[05:43] <gnomefreak> breezy just came out
[05:43] <jasmuz> psusi: Dapper isnt quite out the alpha stage
[05:43] <psusi> jasmuz, I am aware of that
[05:43] <gnomefreak> i think having dapper now is suicide
[05:44] <jasmuz> psusi: then you know that most of the packages are being worked on....it will take time for a major system overhaul
[05:44] <Manny> holycow, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/gnome/gnome-screensaver
[05:44] <Manny> grab it
[05:44] <psusi> jasmuz, yes... I know... but my system has not upgraded to the new packages
[05:44] <slot|processor> Will Ubuntu Ghost properly by chance?.. i havent tried yet...just thought maybe someone had?
[05:44] <jasmuz> psusi: stick with breezy for the moment
[05:45] <psusi> i.e. packages.ubuntu.com shows coreutils in dapper as version 5.93-2, but I'm still using the old version
[05:45] <gnomefreak> give dapper till after jan 1 see how far they are than
[05:45] <psusi> I want the new coreutils
[05:45] <psusi> because it has O_DIRECT support
[05:45] <holycow> lol :) i'll wait for dapper then, i'll take your word for it
[05:45] <orbx> can anyone give em a link to somewhere which has all the basic terminal commands?
[05:46] <[RedX] > hey in terminal it views my user name@<my host> which is liek a whole line ..how can i change that to something smaller?
[05:46] <webwolf_27> orbx, ouch thats a tall list
[05:46] <brenner> !cli
[05:46] <ubotu> from memory, cli is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands or http://www.linuxcommand.org/
[05:47] <brenner> :)

[05:53] <Jacco2> I am attempting to install Ubuntu 5.10 to an AMD64 system. When the base system is installed, the installer exits on the package ncurses-bin. I compared the MD5 checksums of this package with that in md5sums.txt but it looks OK. Any suggestions?
[05:53] <dominique> hi
[05:53] <dominique> im a ubunter user
[05:53] <dominique> :p
[05:54] <gnomefreak> Jacco2, did you burn the iso or did you get it from ship-it
[05:54] <jasmuz> hi dominique
[05:54] <dominique> hi
[05:54] <brenner> dominique: try #ubunter maybe then
[05:54] <Jacco2> I burnt the DVD ISO. Shall I do a disk check?
[05:54] <brenner> :P
[05:54] <dominique> lol
[05:55] <gnomefreak> Jacco2, i would try burning it at the slowest speed you can see if that helps
[05:55] <dominique> brenner do you have ubuntu?
[05:55] <brenner> dominique: 1st distro?
[05:55] <progbliss> Jacco2: I had to exit all background stuff as well to get it to work.

[06:04] <oidia> StyXman, dont have cedega... and i dont want to boot that other os :/
[06:04] <nikos> StyXman: it says that the status database is locked by another process
[06:04] <sinclair> is there a easy way to install gnome if i installed kubuntu first?
[06:04] <oidia> i have wine any how ...
[06:04] <johndarkhorse> sinclair: install "ubuntu-desktop"
[06:04] <sinclair> okays
[06:04] <StyXman> oidia: well, with some planet alignment and three voodoo sacrifices, it *might* run unthe ubuntu wine
[06:04] <gnomefreak> mama123,  take a look at the site the bot sent you
[06:04] <StyXman> oidia: but I really doubt so
[06:05] <StyXman> nikos: you have a synaptic, aptitude, dselect open?
[06:05] <oidia> yes, as i heared it doesent run on wine....
[06:05] <StyXman> nikos: close any one of those you might have running
[06:05] <gnomefreak> ubuntu*
[06:05] <mama123> gnomefreak, thanks for the help
[06:05] <nikos> yeah i had synaptic open, and i closed it
[06:05] <nikos> it worked
[06:05] <nikos> now what?
[06:06] <gnomefreak> mama123, anytime
[06:06] <johndarkhorse> gnomefreak: if you install from a kubuntu installation cd, it's natural
[06:06] <orbx> _jason > how do you open installation files via terminal?
[06:06] <StyXman> nikos: so, you installed the w32codecs.deb?
[06:06] <_jason> orbx, what do you mean by installation files
[06:06] <gnomefreak> johndarkhorse, that i know but isnt that why they made #kubuntu?
[06:06] <brenner> gnomefreak: any good skins?
[06:06] <orbx> _jason > well just run the file
[06:06] <gnomefreak> i figured he was on ubuntu
[06:06] <orbx> _jason > i am trying to install flash player
[06:06] <StyXman> oidia: then you're `out of luck
[06:06] <gnomefreak> brenner, skins for what?
[06:06] <nikos> uhm it said 'setting up w32codecs' so guess so
[06:06] <nikos> or not?
[06:06] <Jacco2> OK, the CD version continues where the DVD exited so it must have been a media issue. Thanks for the tip!
[06:07] <dominique> Yes its working with XMMS, thx all:)
[06:07] <brenner> xmms/bmp/winamp classic
[06:07] <_jason> orbx, is it a .deb?  why don't you just use synaptic or apt-get?
[06:07] <StyXman> nikos: ok, it installed
[06:07] <nikos> now what?
[06:07] <Eternalist> brenner, bmps the shit
[06:07] <Eternalist> :)
[06:07] <StyXman> nikos: do you have mplayer's source? did you uncompressed it?
[06:07] <orbx> _jason > no its a shell file
[06:07] <nec_> np dominique
[06:07] <johndarkhorse> gnomefreak: sinclair wants to run gnome
[06:07] <brenner> Eternalist: yeah easier on the eyes, isn't it?
[06:07] <gnomefreak> brenner, sorry i dont use pc for music the only music i want to hear is the embedded midis on my website but nooooooooooo i cant do that
[06:07] <nikos> yeah i have a folder on my desktop
[06:08] <dominique> Hmm..
[06:08] <brenner> Eternalist: guess i'll ask you ... any skin recommendations?
[06:08] <Eternalist> brenner, know of any good fonts to install?
[06:08] <gnomefreak> i cant find a plugin for ff that will play those midi files and work :(
[06:08] <Eternalist> im using Ana-Xmms
[06:08] <_jason> orbx, you are better off using synaptic or apt-get, it will keep your system a lot more organized and more easy to manage.  If you want to run a shell script, make sure it is executable first (chmod +x filename) and then ./filname
[06:08] <DrSpin> I need some assistance browsing my corporate network via VPN
[06:08] <Eternalist> but it really depends on ur theme
[06:08] <StyXman> nikos: ok, cd into it and
[06:08] <gnomefreak> !fonts
[06:08] <ubotu> methinks fonts is https://wiki.ubuntu.com//FontInstallHowto
[06:09] <DrSpin> I can establish the VPN connection and access the resources and ping around all day...
[06:09] <brenner> Eternalist: no, sorry...all my fonts are plain old defaults
[06:09] <StyXman> nikos: fakeroot debian/rules binary
[06:09] <nikos> wait
[06:09] <orbx> _jason > but is flash player in the synoptic?
[06:09] <Eternalist> brenner, Ana-XMMS is what i use
[06:09] <johndarkhorse> StyXman: what are we compiling?
[06:09] <StyXman> nikos: I wait
[06:09] <StyXman> johndarkhorse: mplayer
[06:09] <Eternalist> brenner, i have that hi tech xbox 360 white feel
[06:10] <_jason> orbx, yes, flashplayer-mozilla and flashplugin-nonfree
[06:10] <nikos> did it
[06:10] <sinclair> gnomefreak: well, i am really new to linux and ubuntu.. and i installed kubuntu first but now that i want to read all the faqs, i see there is a lot more resources for ubuntu than for kubuntu
[06:10] <StyXman> nikos: did it finished?
[06:10] <nikos> it did say: error: bad gcc version
[06:10] <sinclair> thats why i would like to change

[06:11] <StyXman> nikos: try
[06:11] <brenner> Eternalist: thanks.  looking it up now....i've been using winshady.  i generally have a dark wallpaper.  too much brightness hurts my eyes. :)

[06:12] <StyXman> nikos: CC=gcc-2.95 fakeroot debian/rules binary CC=gcc-2.95

[06:13] <_jason> gnomefreak, no it does not play for me
[06:13] <StyXman> oidia: depending what country you are, cedega might be cheap for you
[06:13] <dominique> How can i download music?
[06:13] <dominique> Which progrsm
[06:13] <brenner> Eternalist: you customised gdm as well? :)
[06:13] <dominique> program*
[06:13] <holycow> wow
[06:13] <flamey> is the a way to set the download speed of the bittorrent client of gnome??
[06:14] <_jason> orbx, do you have the multiverse repo enabled
[06:14] <holycow> substrate is the neatest screensaver i've seen
[06:14] <orbx> _jason > no how do i do this?
[06:14] <gnomefreak> _jason, i cant find anything that will play it :(
[06:14] <Eternalist> brenner, yes but its a different style
[06:14] <_jason> ubotu, tell orbx about repos
[06:14] <nikos> StyXman: Error: Cannot find header either inttypes.h or bitypes.h (see DOCS/HTML/en/faq.html).
[06:14] <brenner> holycow: black screen does it for me :)
[06:14] <Eternalist> brenner, i have no idea why i did that, i think i installed something called Blue Swirl
[06:14] <StyXman> nikos: sudo aptitude build-dep mplayer
[06:14] <[RedX] > this is the noobest question ever but if something freezes how do i force quit it? my xmms wont function how do i 'end task' it :p
[06:15] <dominique> Can someone help me, what i must todo for download music?
[06:15] <orbx> _jason > is it also possible to get with konqueror?
[06:15] <brenner> Eternalist: i love this one: http://www.gnomelook.org/content/show.php?content=25716
[06:15] <holycow> brenner, lol indeed
[06:15] <redduck666> [RedX] , open rerminal and write something like kill -9 xmms
[06:15] <gnomefreak> i cant remember the kill command for it
[06:15] <Agrajag> redduck666: killall
[06:15] <_jason> orbx, not sure, I don't use it
[06:15] <Agrajag> kill needs a PID, killall uses a process name
[06:15] <brenner> [RedX] : or use the system monitor
[06:15] <dominique> Pff
[06:15] <dominique> gimme a breake
[06:15] <[RedX] > redduck666, how do i get the process id for xmms
[06:16] <brenner> [RedX] : apps > sys tools
[06:16] <Agrajag> [RedX] : killall -9 xmms
[06:16] <nikos> StyXman: after i did sudo apt-get install mplayer, it said: E: package mplayer has no installation candidate
[06:16] <redduck666> [RedX] , you can use top. but Agrajag is right sudo killall xmms will do the trick
[06:16] <[RedX] > ok
[06:16] <Agrajag> no, not sudo
[06:16] <mahangu> where is my grub.conf?
[06:16] <Agrajag> just killall -9 xmms
[06:16] <[RedX] > done
[06:17] <flamey> does anyone know how to set the download speed of the bittorrent client of gnome??
[06:17] <Agrajag> Only use root priveleges when you NEED them.
[06:17] <_jason> nikos, apt-cache search mplayer then choose the appropriate one for your system.  Use apt-cache show mplayer-586 for example to see the details of mplayer-586
[06:17] <StyXman> nikos: no, no install
[06:17] <brenner> mahangu: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:17] <StyXman> nikos: sudo apt-get build-dep mplayer
[06:17] <gnomefreak> mahangu, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:17] <jatos> hi
[06:17] <mahangu> thanks guys
[06:17] <orbx> _jason > to install flashplayer what rep do i enable, or add?
[06:18] <jatos> how would I mirror a hard disk partition in ubuntu?
[06:18] <nikos> StyXman: you must put some source uri's in your sources.list
[06:18] <mahangu> if i install another distro, and it messes with that, i can always edit manually right>
[06:18] <gnomefreak> orbx, multiunvivers
[06:18] <pasboulet> hi
[06:18] <donza> has any of you tried to get serious sam to work under linux natively?
[06:18] <gnomefreak> muli uviverse*
[06:18] <johndarkhorse> flamey: start gnome-bittorrent from a console with any applicable flags from this page http://www.dessent.net/btfaq/cmdline.shtml
[06:18] <_jason> orbx, you should enable multiverse and universe, they will offer you a lot of programs to download.  flashplayer is in multiverse
[06:18] <jatos> anyone?
[06:18] <nikos> that's what it said
[06:18] <nec_> have someone sloved problem with tibia client? i've got installed tk8.3 and tcl83 but it sill returns such error "./tibiawish: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

[06:24] <apokryphos> sinclair: same way you install 99% of things -- synaptic
[06:24] <mahangu> sinclair, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:24] <brenner> mahangu: type: 'file dead.letter'
[06:25] <yatesy> mahangu: thats an email error

[06:26] <gnomefreak> Eternalist,  art.gnome.org has some good ones too and than there is a female desktop site
[06:26] <orbx> _jason > it hasn't seemed to work
[06:26] <brenner> Eternalist: what about your splash screen? :)
[06:26] <_jason> orbx, you can't find flashplayer-mozilla?
[06:26] <nikos> StyXman: sorry, gotta go myself
[06:27] <nikos> be back tomorrow
[06:27] <Eternalist> brenner, ah its at default
[06:27] <nikos> thnx for your help
[06:27] <StyXman> nikos: if you can take note:
[06:27] <Eternalist> brenner, and all these jungle sounds are still here lol
[06:27] <nikos> yeah?
[06:27] <orbx> _jason > nope
[06:27] <StyXman> nikos: add multiverse to your sources.list
[06:27] <nikos> how?
[06:27] <Rev-Marc> how do I go about backing up the ntire home dir? (so I can back up the wife's e-mail from Thunderbird)
[06:28] <apokryphos> !tell nikos about repositories
[06:28] <brenner> Eternalist: i don't mind the jungle sounds :D
[06:28] <sneaky> what is a good program to download peer to peer?
[06:28] <[RedX] > hey if i want to use a theme from gnome look on ubuntu (latest) which one can i use? gtk 2.x gdm themes which one
[06:28] <_jason> orbx, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:28] <apokryphos> sneaky: for conventional p2p: limewire, gtk-gnutella
[06:28] <navarone> sneaky> I use gnutella -gtk
[06:28] <brenner> Eternalist: and i just disabled the splash screen altogether.  if you're wondering, you can use gtweakui to edit it
[06:28] <sneaky> where can i get that?
[06:28] <nikos> thxn
[06:28] <StyXman> nikos: you can ask that tomorrow, but simpley edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add multiverse to anywhere where it says `main restricted
[06:28] <apokryphos> sneaky: limewire you'll have to get from their site, gtk-gnutella is in the repos
[06:29] <sneaky> where is repos?
[06:29] <Slackwise> Rev-Marc:  tar czf /home/<user> backupname.tar.gz
[06:29] <nikos> k thnx
[06:29] <orbx> _jason > what do you mean "source"?
[06:29] <nikos> later dudes
[06:29] <apokryphos> !tell sneaky about repositories
[06:29] <StyXman> nikos: then do the buil-dep thing
[06:29] <orbx> oh sorry
[06:29] <StyXman> nikos: then the fakeroot thing
[06:29] <Eternalist> brenner, oh
[06:29] <Slackwise> Rev-Marc: That should create a tar.gz of the home directory which you can later expand. :P
[06:29] <StyXman> nikos: taht gives you a .deb
[06:29] <StyXman> nikos: you can sudo dpkg -i it
[06:29] <_jason> orbx, /etc/apt/sources.list is a file, I need you to put it on pastebin so I can see what is there
[06:29] <Rev-Marc> ok where will that be copied so I can write it to a disk?
[06:29] <StyXman> nikos: that should do it
[06:29] <_jason> ubotu, tell orbx about pastebin
[06:29] <navarone> sneaky> limewire requires java to be installed as well i believe...that's why i use gnutells...lol
[06:30] <Slackwise> Rev-Marc: To the current directory.
[06:30] <nikos> k, at the moment i don't really understand it, but i'll try
[06:30] <Eternalist> brenner, how do u change the splashscreen
[06:30] <apokryphos> navarone: blackdown java is in multiverse though, and limewire can run on that
[06:30] <brenner> Eternalist: i still haven't worked out how you edit the boot sequence screen (the one with the brown text)
[06:30] <Eternalist> brenner, i just downloaded a theme i wanna try
[06:30] <nikos> thnx
[06:30] <apokryphos> navarone: though sun java debs are available from 3rd-party sources too
[06:30] <nikos> later
[06:30] <StyXman> nikos: YW
[06:30] <Slackwise> Rev-Marc: Actually, Ubuntu has an "Archive Manager" application which might be more suitable for you.
[06:30] <blackhat> if i force an i386 package on an amd64 system and it doesnt work right can I remove it?
[06:30] <navarone> apok> hmmm...never heard of blackdown...i'll look into it
[06:30] <sinclair> sorry,  where can i run the command line to do the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[06:30] <Rev-Marc> Thank you Slackwise you are obviously more wise than slack
[06:30] <brenner> Eternalist: use gtweakui, the theme should just be a png image
[06:30] <bolrod> java is easilly installed by just extracting it.. and linking to the binaries from $PATH
[06:31] <Slackwise> Rev-Marc: lol, thank you :P
[06:31] <brenner> iirc
[06:31] <apokryphos> even easier with a deb
[06:31] <bolrod> hrm
[06:31] <brenner> Eternalist: then sys > prefs > gtweakui-sessions
[06:31] <gnomefreak_away> synaptic is the easiest to install java but ppl dont recomend it
[06:31] <brenner> it's just a frontend to gconf, but makes things real easy
[06:31] <bolrod> apokryphos: I had some dependancy problems with debian with it..
[06:31] <bolrod> so I sticked to the extracting
[06:31] <bolrod> =)
[06:31] <bolrod> + I use SDK thingy
[06:32] <apokryphos> bolrod: there are perfectly working sun java debs for Ubuntu
[06:32] <apokryphos> sdk ones, too
[06:32] <navarone> sinclair> applications/accessories/terminal
[06:32] <bolrod> :o
[06:32] <sneaky> goftoxic is a download program?
[06:32] <orbx> _jason > http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4749
[06:32] <N1omi> how can i launch kbattery from CLI?
[06:33] <Rev-Marc> slackwise I typed "tar czf /home/pat backuppat.tar.gz" and it returned an error
[06:33] <Eternalist> brenner, dammit this new theme keeps giving me Format Invalid
[06:33] <Eternalist> and i know its a theme
[06:33] <Eternalist> its got the .theme extension
[06:33] <Slackwise> Rev-Marc: Hmm, hold on.
[06:33] <brenner> Eternalist: what are you trying to change?
[06:34] <_jason> orbx, when you search for "flashplugin-nonfree" can you find that one?
[06:34] <Rev-Marc> KO
[06:34] <Eternalist> brenner, my theme for gnome
[06:34] <HappyFool> Rev-Marc: tar.gz filename comes first
[06:34] <Rev-Marc> ?
[06:34] <Jonex> Is it possible to strip Ubuntu to 100 mb, still having a graphical web browser avaible?
[06:34] <brenner> Eternalist: you going through theme mgr?
[06:34] <HappyFool> Rev-Marc: 'tar czf backuppat.tar.gz /home/pat'
[06:34] <Eternalist> brenner, yes
[06:34] <Slackwise> Rev-Marc: Oops.  I have a question rearding installing Ubuntu.. Anyone feel like taking it?
[06:35] <brenner> Eternalist: hang on, shouldn't you have gotten a theme archive, not just a .theme file?
[06:35] <Eternalist> dave, yes
[06:35] <_jason> orbx, ok close synaptic and open a  terminal, type: apt-cache search flashplugin
[06:35] <apokryphos> dave: Kopete and Gaim do it, I thought
[06:36] <Eternalist> brenner, i have gtk ,gtk2 and metacity directories
[06:36] <brenner> skimask: that's what we're here for
[06:36] <Eternalist> and icon directories.
[06:36] <skimask> Thanks.. I'll ask now
[06:36] <dave> how on gaim
[06:36] <apokryphos> no idea; I don't use it
[06:36] <_jason> orbx, run "sudo apt-get update" first
[06:36] <Rev-Marc> <== really like point and click methods :(
[06:36] <n0odl3> how would i go about making my own irc channel? (with ChanServ or whatnot)
[06:36] <skimask> I boot the Ubuntu (.iso) that I burned and it boots fine. When I hit "Enter" to do a default install, it starts to load, and then says "Booting the Kernel now" and then my system just reboots and starts all over again
[06:36] <Slackwise> Rev-Marc: I'd still try the Archive Manager. It looks like it can create archives and open them. :P
[06:36] <HappyFool> Rev-Marc: check out Applications -> Accessories -> Archive Manager
[06:36] <brenner> Eternalist: bah, you'll work it out. :)  i have to go. happy themeing
[06:37] <Rev-Marc> I think It worked ..
[06:37] <ColdWind> anybody tried E17 inside Gnome?
[06:37] <skimask> (I actually have two questions, but I don't want to be greedy)
[06:37] <JoeBu> anyone tried to install drupal successfully?
[06:37] <conn> can someone look at my Xorg log? I'm getting unresolved symbol errors and I get segfaults when running GLX-enabled apps in resolutions bigger than 1024x768. Here's the Xorg log: http://pastebin.ca/29280
[06:37] <Rev-Marc> thanks I will stick to preaching ... for now
[06:38] <skimask> So why does it do that, just reboot the computer when it says "Ok loading (or booting?) the Kernel now.." am I missing a detail or...?
[06:38] <dave> apokrphos> how do u get one on gaim
[06:38] <ColdWind> JoeBu what problem do you have with Drupal?
[06:38] <Rev-Marc> the command line worked verified when I double clicked the file and a package manager openned up
[06:39] <apokryphos> dave: as I said, I don't know -- I don't use it. Reasonably sure it was possible though.
[06:39] <crass> are the non-english language editions official?
[06:39] <jesseman_> ColdWind: i have, whats up?
[06:39] <cusco> hi!
[06:39] <JoeBu> ColdWind, I was following a HOWTO and it said, install drupal....it installs dependencies...ie. LAMP...it didnt..php tries to download instead of execute
[06:39] <BooZee> textboxes in flash movies are not showing!
[06:40] <HappyFool> i actually can't figure out how to set an image in gaim, though i'm sure i did it before *puzzlement*
[06:40] <dave> apokryhos>what do u use and can u use display pictures
[06:40] <orbx> _jason > when i search on terminal nothing happens
[06:40] <crass> HappyFool, depends on the protocol
[06:40] <JoeBu> jesseman_, u got drupal loaded up successfully?
[06:40] <_jason> orbx, did you run "sudo apt-get update" ?
[06:40] <Rev-Marc> Is Fedora Core easier? I can get file sharing to work on it ( I have it on the church file server) everytime I try file shareing in Ubuntu I never have permmision or can't find anything :(
[06:41] <jesseman_> JoeBu: no, i was responding to ColdWind's question about E17
[06:41] <orbx> _jason > yes
[06:41] <JoeBu> ah..sorry
[06:41] <skimask> (Anyone?)
[06:41] <JoeBu> didnt read high enuf
[06:41] <jesseman_> no problem
[06:41] <HappyFool> dave: ah, under accounts -> options
[06:41] <oidia> my key map got lost any idea on how to fix it? im using a sweadish keyboard?
[06:41] <HappyFool> dave: select 'modify account' and click on the 'Open' button next to Buddy Icon
[06:42] <ClamIAm> does anyone know of any tweaks used by ubuntu that would make my keyboard less-than-responsive?
[06:42] <Eternalist> dave, amsn supports display pics
[06:42] <Eternalist> dave, sudo apt-get install amsn
[06:42] <HappyFool> skimask: hmm
[06:42] <Eternalist> brenner, any clue why it isnt working?
[06:42] <oidia> how do i set my keymap?
[06:43] <HappyFool> skimask: probably a bad CD
[06:43] <HappyFool> skimask: what OS are you running now (to chat with) ?
[06:43] <_jason> orbx, well then you've got me stumped.  You have mutliverse enabled and you updated apt-get but even though I know flashplayer is in there, your computer isn't finding it.  Maybe someone else can help you, I'm not sure of what else to try.
[06:43] <skimask> HappyFool: I'm using win98 on another computer.. and on the comptuer that i am trying to install ubuntu on is win xp home
[06:44] <HappyFool> orbx: what chip is it? i think flashplayer might only be available for i386
[06:44] <crass> I have yet to install Ubuntu, but during the install can you select which language you want or do you have to d/l a language specific iso?
[06:44] <orbx> HappyFoolm, AMD64
[06:44] <HappyFool> orbx: ah. not flash for you, afaik
[06:44] <_jason> orbx, oh...
[06:44] <HappyFool> no flash, even
[06:44] <_jason> orbx, read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats?highlight=%28flash%29%7C%28konqueror%29
[06:45] <orbx> _jason , HappyFool > TUT
[06:45] <cusco> crass: you can choose the language in any install cd
[06:45] <HappyFool> skimask: can you view the cd on either windows machine ok
[06:45] <mfire> i have a problem, when i log in into GNOME it tells me that it failed to authorize to something to try add to etc/hosts, and asks me wether id like to try agaian or not, afterwards in gnome it self i cant access thigs like netzork manager and pacage manager, this is a new problem from today, anyone has idea?
[06:45] <skimask> HappyFool, you mean view the contents of the cd?
[06:46] <HappyFool> skimask: yeah. sorry, my question was unclear
[06:46] <skimask> yes, i can happyfool.
[06:46] <crass> cusco, does that mean that all the install cds are the same? if they're different what's the difference (I mean where the only difference is if I d/l from ubuntulinux.org or unbuntu-es.org)
[06:46] <skimask> (i even tried as a start burning a second copy at a lower burn speed to think that was the prblem)
[06:46] <HappyFool> skimask: and the machine is otherwise working?
[06:46] <ClamIAm> anyone know why my keyboard would be less responsive in ubuntu than other distros?
[06:47] <skimask> happyfool, yeah
[06:47] <navarone> ClamIam> you can go to system/preferences/keyboard to change the way your keyboard is set up
[06:47] <orbx> _jason > so i get no flashplayer for having a better chip :P
[06:48] <HappyFool> skimask: i can think of two tests: one is to get md5sum for windows (i think a free version is available), and check the CD from windows. Another test is to run the 'memtest' on boot, to check your system's memory
[06:48] <_jason> orbx, there are some directions on that link i pasted for amd64 but I have no idea how well they work
[06:48] <skimask> okay
[06:48] <holycow> i have one box here where the hotplug subsyste on boot does not show okay, that means hotplug has not started, correct?
[06:48] <blanky> hey guys, could you help me get Epson R200 installed?
[06:48] <blanky> it's a printer
[06:48] <skimask> the system has nearly a gig of memory
[06:48] <holycow> i don't see a 'failed' message ...
[06:48] <HappyFool> skimask: well, let the test run for a short while
[06:49] <grogoreo> hi
[06:49] <HappyFool> skimask: although when i had memory problems it was only triggered after 10 minutes or so into the memtest
[06:49] <skimask> okay i will
[06:49] <skimask> thanks HappyFool
[06:49] <skimask> i will try now
[06:49] <ClamIAm> navarone, this isn't something that can be fixed with that.  the keyboard is responding strange compared to other distros...sometimes a key is dropped or letters get transposed
[06:49] <HappyFool> skimask: i'd do the md5sum check first
[06:49] <HappyFool> skimask: if the machine is generally working, the memory is *probably* OK
[06:52] <navarone> ClamIam> is it a usb/serial/ps/2 keyboard?
[06:52] <ClamIAm> it's...a laptop
[06:52] <ClamIAm> so i'm assuming yes
[06:52] <ClamIAm> and it's less than 2 years old
[06:53] <navarone> ClamIam> I would take a look at the xorg.conf file and examine the keyboard entry...maybe not correct or something...look and let me know...but I am not a guru type myself...lol
[06:54] <ClamIAm> navarone, don't worry about it, any insight is appreciated
[06:55] <dave> how do i make it on gaim so i can see my display picture aswell as other peoples
[06:55] <navarone> ClamIam> I imagine laptop keyboards are a little more complicated than generic desktop ones...what with touchpads and the like as well inviolved
[06:55] <ClamIAm> navarone,  i'm thinking it has something to do with the way ubuntu tries to config it...because this laptop has had fedora, debian and suse on it and they all work fine
[06:56] <tritium> ClamIAm: ubuntu and debian would configure it in the same way
[06:56] <ClamIAm> tritium, that's what confuses me
[06:57] <StyXman> hi again
[06:57] <StyXman> I'm having problems installing python2.3-4suite
[06:57] <StyXman> I get: update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/share/4Suite/4ssd.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/4ssd: No such file or directory
[06:57] <Nytryx> hey room question
[06:58] <StyXman> how can I guess which package has /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Ft?
[06:58] <tritium> StyXman: dpkg -S <path/to/file>
[06:58] <Nytryx> can i download and burn the PPC iso on an ibm and use it to boot and install on my PPC?
[06:58] <tritium> sure, Nytryx
[06:58] <navarone> Clam> what brand laptop?

[06:58] <Nytryx> your sure
[06:59] <StyXman> that's what I'm trying to guess
[06:59] <Nytryx> and in the PPC i just put the cd in and what power it on?
[06:59] <tritium> StyXman: you can download/install apt-file, in that case
[06:59] <StyXman> tritium: hmm, any alternative to it?
[06:59] <dave> how can u see your own display picture on gaim
[06:59] <johndarkhorse> Nytryx: is it a new mac or an old world one?
[06:59] <StyXman> (to apt-file)
[06:59] <tritium> Nytryx: typically you hold down "c" while booting
[06:59] <BigKahuna> How to get web cam working?
[06:59] <tritium> StyXman: to apt-file?

[07:02] <StyXman> where weird is:
[07:02] <johndarkhorse> Nytryx: you'll need to hold the "c" key when the chime sounds on your mac
[07:02] <tritium> progbliss: you're using ubuntu fglrx packages?  Or by "latest", do you mean you installed something from ATI's website?
[07:02] <StyXman> tritium: http://pastebin.ca/29292

[07:12] <tritium> plus-V-ducky: indeed
[07:13] <plus-V-ducky> I just hope you don't decay too quickly.
[07:13] <ajeet> Hello, could someone please explain as to why when I installed ubuntu-ext3, the update manager had loads of updates for me, but now that i've installed ubuntu-reiserfs, there's nothing?!
[07:13] <blackhaT> when I try to apt-get install something I get this error, dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `postdrop' in statusoverride file
[07:13] <blackhaT> what should I do
[07:13] <plus-V-ducky> navarone, we really seem to be clicking well, unlike the more mousey people lurking here
[07:14] <dragon_>
[07:14] <navarone> plus-V-ducky> perhaps they are more used to penguins than duckies? <s>
[07:14] <plus-V-ducky> blackhat: beats me
[07:14] <ajeet> I'm baffled as to why I'm not getting any updates?
[07:14] <plus-V-ducky> penguin(sic) are not all they're quacked up to be
[07:14] <psusi> ajeet, what do you mean you installed 'ubuntu-ext3'?
[07:14] <Wondersaurus> Hi.  Way-very-newbie here who's getting troubles with sudo.
[07:15] <ajeet> the ext3 filesystem
[07:15] <navarone> ajeet> when I installed on ext2 I only had 17 updates and another 6 recently...it all depends on fs and packages installed
[07:15] <plus-V-ducky> navarone, are you going to pull out the  big guns... err puns on me now?
[07:15] <psusi> you mean you installed ubuntu onto an ext3 filesystem?
[07:16] <J_P> hi all
[07:16] <ajeet> previously yes and when i logged on for the 1st time, there were a few updates for me to download.... now ith reiserfs, there ain't nothing
[07:16] <psusi> the same packages should be installed no matter which filesystem you choose when you install
[07:16] <Wondersaurus> Whenever I use sudo, I get "sudo: unable to lookup ComputerName via gethostbyname()."  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[07:16] <J_P> hey, I am install ubuntu install amd64 for 64bit. for P4 Em64T i use kernel linux-image-2.6.12-9-amd64-xeon or is better use default : linux-image-2.6.12-9-amd64-generic  ?
[07:17] <ajeet> so how come the update manager isn't presenting me with updates? is it because of the filesystem?
[07:17] <psusi> so you reformatted your hard drive and this time installed on reiserfs?  maybe the updates already got installed?
[07:17] <psusi> you did reload in synaptic right?
[07:17] <plus-V-ducky> Does anyone know if Ubuntu 'hibernate' (suspend-to-disk) will allow me to boot another partition after hibernating and then still resume?
[07:17] <tritium> ajeet: could it be that you're up to date already?
[07:17] <gnomefreak> Wondersaurus,  what is the full command your using?
[07:17] <ajeet> yes....
[07:17] <Jemt> Greetings. The repositories for Ubuntu is still out dated, so I'm trying to compile Bluefish myself. But it seems that I need to set an environment variable in order for the compilation to succed ($PATH). How do I set that? I have just installed gcc-4.0.
[07:17] <psusi> the filesystem has nothing to do with it
[07:17] <Wondersaurus> "sudo modprobe -r bcmw15"
[07:17] <BlueEagle> j_p: It is better to configure your own kernel, but of the two the generic would be the best afaik.
[07:17] <ajeet> tritium: how can i be up-to-date on a newly installed system?
[07:17] <Wondersaurus> It does this regardless.
[07:18] <psusi> plus-V-ducky, if the OS on the other partition does not touch any of the partitions the hibernated one has open... sure
[07:18] <tritium> ajeet: you mentioned it downloaded updates ealier, right?
[07:18] <slide> Is there a cd/dvd burner in the livedvd?
[07:18] <plus-V-ducky> It works well that way with multiboot M$ systems.  One can even backup the hiberfil.sys file and use it on another system (with identical hardware of course).
[07:18] <ajeet> no, that was when i had ext3 ubuntu
[07:18] <blackhaT> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4750 help
[07:18] <BlueEagle> slide: k3b perhaps?
[07:18] <gnomefreak> i jsut tried it and forgot i was on sarge :(
[07:18] <smiley> i tried apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins but it says:          Depends: gstreamer0.8-a52dec (>= 0.8.11) but it is not going to be installed
[07:18] <slide> BlueEagle, dont see it arg
[07:19] <BlueEagle> slide: gnomebaker
[07:19] <BlueEagle> or gnome-baker
[07:19] <davehunn> hi grub thinks my ext3 / is reiserfs
[07:19] <psusi> ajeet, did you enable other repositories before and you didn't this time?  like the universe?
[07:19] <BlueEagle> slide: or xcdroast
[07:19] <smiley> what should i do to make Rhythmbox play mp3
[07:19] <dragon_>
[07:19] <plus-V-ducky> psusi, are you sure that Ubuntu S2D doesn't write anything int he boot sector or partition tables that may conflict with another os?
[07:19] <blackhaT> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4750 help problem apt-get
[07:19] <J_P> BlueEagle: Yes, i think after compile my own kernel, but for image ready binary why generic is better than  linux-image-2.6.12-9-amd64-xeon if my CPU is one P4 EM64T ?
[07:20] <BlueEagle> dragon_: Flott.
[07:20] <slide> BlueEagle, blah nope :(
[07:20] <psusi> plus-V-ducky, yes... it just writes the contents of memory out to swap... so if you want to resume windows... that's fine, as long as you didn't have any of your windows partitions mounted when you hibernate ubuntu
[07:20] <slide> thanks though
[07:20] <davehunn> grub filesystem type is reiserfs
[07:20] <BlueEagle> slide: Well then I dunno. :)
[07:20] <Wondersaurus> So, anyone have advice?
[07:20] <ajeet> psusi: no, when i installed ubuntu-ext3, i logged in and bham! updates ready... now, nothing, i'm worried.
[07:20] <davehunn> when it should be ext3
[07:20] <navarone> smiley> try rightclicking on music file and chosing properties.Then chose program to open mp3s in the Open with tab
[07:20] <plus-V-ducky> Ooooh ahhh, kewl Cyrillic courtesy of Kubuntu/KDE default UTF-8 or ISO8519-x font set
[07:20] <plus-V-ducky> err, char set, not fonts
[07:21] <gnomefreak> ajeet,  you did the updates already you dont need to do them 2 times
[07:21] <psusi> ajeet, weird... I don't know what to tell you... the filesystem should not make the slightest bit of difference... although...
[07:21] <gnomefreak> the file system just arranges and holds the files
[07:21] <Iconsumed> I have just set up an ubuntu system, but I cannot login GUI... it seams I have no rights to my home folder, how come?
[07:21] <dragon_> BlueEagle, hard work to write it :P
[07:21] <psusi> edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and try removing the us. preifx on the archives.ubuntu.com parts
[07:21] <ajeet> gnomefreak: no i didn't, this is a fresh installation.
[07:21] <psusi> someone in the devel channel earlier said that the us mirrors are borked right now
[07:21] <slide> BlueEagle, aaah its got cdrecord/cdaranoia, only prob is since firefox wont run i cant look online for how to burn a dvd/cd from an iso
[07:21] <BlueEagle> dragon_: ...and a complete waist of time tbh,
[07:21] <tritium> waste even
[07:21] <navarone> lol
[07:21] <plus-V-ducky> psusi, I share a single swap partition with different Linuxes(spel?)...
[07:21] <blackhaT> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4750 help problem apt-get and locale
[07:21] <psusi> and I had to do that to correctly upgrade to dapper
[07:21] <BlueEagle> slide: man cdrecord
[07:21] <dragon_> BlueEagle, Make Some Noise!
[07:22] <Jemt> Greetings. The repositories for Ubuntu is still out dated, so I'm trying to compile Bluefish myself. But it seems that I need to set an environment variable in order for the compilation to succed ($PATH). How do I set that? I have just installed gcc-4.0.
[07:22] <psusi> plus-V-ducky, then don't try to boot those linuxes when you hibernate
[07:22] <plus-V-ducky> It lives on my fastest device,as do most of my bootable partitions
[07:22] <BlueEagle> dragon_: Exept for the fact that  you wrote "some" twice.
[07:22] <tritium> Jemt: with export
[07:22] <dragon_> BlueEagle, thx :P
[07:23] <ajeet> Man, I'm confused
[07:23] <plus-V-ducky> psusi, what if the swapspace is less than my RAM?
[07:23] <gnomefreak> i wouldnt think the filesystem other than updaing the filesystem its self would have any afffect on updates
[07:23] <Jemt> tritium: Is that a temp. operation? And what should I type in my console ?
[07:23] <Nytryx> how much ram do youhave lol
[07:23] <dragon_> 16 ^^
[07:23] <gnomefreak> ajeet,  did you change your sources list one time nad not the other?
[07:23] <Scrimpy> anyone here running NWN (from the diamond dvd) in ubuntu?
[07:23] <psusi> plus-V-ducky, it does not matter... when you hibernate, the ram is written to the swap partition... most likely another linux install you try to boot will refuse to touch the swap partition because the signature will be changed... unless that installation is also configured to resume
[07:23] <tritium> Jemt: if you run it from the cli, yes.  You can edit your ~/.bashrc to make it permanent.
[07:24] <psusi> in which case it will try to resume using ubuntu's saved memory.. and own't like that
[07:24] <ajeet> nope, just finished installing and logged in, haven't done anything at all
[07:24] <gnomefreak> ajeet,  same with both times you installed it?
[07:24] <ajeet> yeah
[07:24] <Sedge> somebody registered my nickname on freenode before me ;(
[07:24] <Jemt> tritium: Ok. Do you know what I need to type in order to succesfully compile bluefish ?
[07:25] <gnomefreak> ajeet that is very strange
[07:25] <ajeet> yeah, tell me about it
[07:25] <plus-V-ducky> 768 MB in this machine.  But my Debian system seemed to never use more than a few dozen MB under any load -- even watching DVDs and compiling large pacakages from source code (and then only rarely).  So, I decided to use a smaller swap partition.
[07:25] <Wondersaurus> Hello.  I'm trying to get my wireless card (Broadcom) to work on my laptop.  I've found a page on the forums which explains how this is done, but the sudo command is not working for me.  It returns an "unable to look up ComputerName via gethostbyname()" error.  Could I please be advised how to correct this?
[07:25] <tritium> Jemt: install build-essential to start with, and then sudo apt-get build-dep bluefish
[07:25] <GreedyB> what program should I use for burning images?
[07:25] <dragon_> BlueEagle, thx for nice conversation :) Cya
[07:25] <Sedge> GreedyB, try k3b
[07:25] <Jemt> tritium: Oh, cool :)
[07:25] <tritium> GreedyB: nautilus can burn them
[07:25] <J_P> BlueEagle: read my question ?
[07:26] <Jemt> tritium: I'll try that :)
[07:26] <gnomefreak> gnomebaker or k3b or whatever you feel comfortable using
[07:26] <tritium> okay, Jemt
[07:26] <GreedyB> okay thank you
[07:26] <Sedge> sudo apt-get install k3b
[07:26] <rel> Wondersaurus:  Do you mean a Broadcom card for mac? I have a Powerbook G4 and can't use my wireless card because there are no drivers for my Airport Extreme (Broadcom) card...
[07:26] <Sedge> that should get you what you need GreedyB
[07:26] <psusi> ajeet, try switching mirrors... I think the us mirrors are messed up today... either that or just don't worry about it... I'm sure it will be fixed in a day or two
[07:26] <Wondersaurus> Broadcom card for PC.  Dell Inspiron 5150.
[07:26] <GreedyB> sweet thanks
[07:27] <Wondersaurus> I have the drivers I need and everything.
[07:27] <plus-V-ducky> psusi, it also sets a switch in the GRUB bootloader to pass an argument to vmlinuz (or in an init script perhaps?) does it not?
[07:27] <Wondersaurus> I just can't get the sudo command to work.
[07:27] <tritium> Wondersaurus: you're using ndiswrapper, I hope...
[07:27] <blackhaT> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4750 help problem apt-get and locale
[07:27] <Jemt> tritium: Uhm.. Will apt-get then give me the newest version of Bluefish?
[07:27] <psusi> plus-V-ducky, what's that?  I set up my grun to pass the resume= parameter to point the system to my swap partition
[07:27] <Wondersaurus> I would use ndiswrapper if I could get ndiswrapper to start.
[07:27] <BlueEagle> j_p: I will if you prefix with my nick. :)
[07:27] <gnomefreak> i agree with psusi  ajeet give it a few days see if they give you updates
[07:27] <Jemt> tritium: I'm not sure it will :)
[07:27] <tritium> Jemt: you told it it would not
[07:27] <plus-V-ducky> What if the otehr Linux just reinitializes the swap p'n, could that hurt my Ubuntu system afterwards?
[07:27] <BlueEagle> j_p: Oh, sorry for missing it.
[07:28] <J_P> :-)
[07:28] <tritium> Jemt: that doesn't mean you can't grab its build-dependencies, and build a newer version of it
[07:28] <Wondersaurus> Everything I've seen about ndiswrapper says "start it with sudo," which brings me to the original problem.
[07:28] <BlueEagle> j_p: I don't really know.
[07:28] <Jemt> tritium: But where do I use the bluefish-files I have just downloaded ?
[07:28] <gnomefreak> Wondersaurus, does sudo apt-get update work?
[07:28] <psusi> plus-V-ducky, it would break the resume, yes
[07:28] <void^> Wondersaurus, see if your hostname is in /etc/hosts
[07:28] <plus-V-ducky> psusi, can I tell Ubuntu to write the file somewhere else and just set it -ro?
[07:28] <Jemt> tritium: Oh, I just run configure afterwards ?
[07:29] <GreedyB> how can I make Opera my default browser?  Dont understand how that works in linux
[07:29] <J_P> BlueEagle: ok
[07:29] <selinium> Hi apokryphos :)
[07:29] <tritium> Jemt: you compile them, after installing the necessary build-dependencies.  I also recommend that you use checkinstall
[07:29] <psusi> plus-V-ducky, I think you can use a swap file instead of a swap partition... never tried it though
[07:29] <plus-V-ducky> psusi, but could it cause arbitrary system calls to exec in a way that would actually hurt Ubuntu in a persistent sense?
[07:29] <Wondersaurus> Contents of hosts: "<IP_ADDRESS> local host"
[07:29] <Jemt> tritium: checkinstall ?
[07:29] <apokryphos> selinium: heyhey
[07:30] <tritium> !tell Jemt about checkinstall
[07:30] <psusi> plus-V-ducky, no... not in a persistent sense... it will just bust the resume
[07:30] <Jemt> tritium: Thanks :)
[07:30] <plus-V-ducky> psusi, something like WinBlows hiberfil.sys would be _suite_
[07:30] <void^> Wondersaurus, try adding your hostname to the <IP_ADDRESS> line
[07:30] <Wondersaurus> ReadOnly file.
[07:30] <plus-V-ducky> Wunderbar.
[07:31] <tritium> Jemt: :)  Good luck
[07:31] <rob_p> Wondersaurus:  You are using *your* password when using sudo, right?  Some have mistakenly assumed that it's asking for root's password.
[07:31] <Jemt> tritium: Thanks :)
[07:31] <MrPockets> hey,. they how hard is it to upgrade to the Breezy Ubuntu?
[07:31] <void^> Wondersaurus, use sudo to edit the file. if sudo won't work at all and you don't have a root password you might have to boot a livecd.
[07:32] <plus-V-ducky> psusi, does Ubuntu run a CRC (or any other integrity check) on the hiberfile?
[07:32] <foampeace> MrPockets: no problem, just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:32] <GreedyB> how do I change default browsers in Ubuntu
[07:32] <GreedyB> ?
[07:32] <MrPockets> is it worth it?
[07:32] <foampeace> MrPockets: yes sir
[07:32] <jdmpike> hello all, does anyone in here use gnome-bluetooth - I am having some problems with it
[07:33] <blackhaT> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4750 help problem apt-get and locale
[07:33] <plus-V-ducky> Hmmm... since Solaris writes 0x82 partitions as well... muahahaha...
[07:33] <psusi> plus-V-ducky, yes... if it is clobbered by the other install, the resume will simply fail and ubuntu will boot up normally
[07:33] <Wondersaurus> Hmm.  I'll need to try one thing before going the LiveCD route...
[07:33] <tritium> Wondersaurus: you can also boot into rescue mode
[07:34] <Wondersaurus> How do I do that?
[07:34] <jareth_> how can i use higher resultions under virtual terminals? fi. 1280x1024?
[07:34] <foampeace> GreedyB: what browser?
[07:34] <tritium> Wondersaurus: boot into it at the grub menu
[07:34] <jareth_> currently using vga=773
[07:34] <jdmpike> I am trying to get my bluetooth headset to work, even though the gnome bluetooth manager can see the headset, it doesn't work
[07:34] <jareth_> what so I need to use for 1280x1024?
[07:34] <jdmpike> can anyone help me?
[07:35] <plus-V-ducky> jdmpike, I jsut installed Ubuntu and KDE (form aptitude by selected a package at a time, not Kubuntu though) and bluetooth was included..  It worked right out of the box, though, I haven't figured out how to pair devices yet with the PSKs
[07:35] <void^> jareth_, vga=795
[07:35] <plus-V-ducky> apt-cache search bluez
[07:36] <Wondersaurus> Alright.  Booting Ubuntu in recovery mode.
[07:36] <jdmpike> plus-V-ducky I have installed gmome-bluetooh and all of the bluez packages
[07:36] <jareth_> thanks void^
[07:36] <foampeace> GreedyB: in firefox you can goto prefsunder edit andflick a switch that checks it as default...i suppose other browsers as well
[07:36] <plus-V-ducky> Providentially, the entire protocol is an Open standard with Open Source APIs
[07:36] <jdmpike> plus-V-ducky, it can recognize the headset when I put it in paring mode, I don't know what do do from there
[07:37] <plus-V-ducky> jdmpike, if they're the same (and confed the same) as in KDE it probably won't help you, but if you have the storage space, I'd try installing Kubuntu or KDE
[07:38] <jdmpike> plus-V-ducky, I downloaded the src for btsco and built that last night, when I run btsco -v <MY HEADSET MAC ADDR> I get a permission denied when trying to open RFCONN
[07:38] <plus-V-ducky> Oh, I though it was install/app config problem, not a 'user conf' problem
[07:38] <blackhaT> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4750 help problem apt-get and locale
[07:38] <plus-V-ducky> I'll take a look myself.  Do you have a VNC viewer client?
[07:38] <foampeace> can anyone compile and make a deb out of this or breezy? http://www.snika.uklinux.net/?p=xmms-alarm
[07:39] <foampeace> for bmp
[07:39] <foampeace> for breezy
[07:39] <jdmpike> hcitool scan can find my device in pairing mode...
[07:39] <foampeace> beep media player alarm
[07:39] <plus-V-ducky> jmdpike be carefull about conflicts with BT drivers (and be VERY careful with anything from SCO if that is SCO/Caldera ala 'OpenLinux')
[07:40] <foampeace> I tried to compile it, but i failed
[07:40] <Wondersaurus> Okay.  I rebooted into recovery mode, and to the input "sudo modprobe -r bcmw15," I get "sudo: unable to lookup ComputerName via gethostbyname" and "FATAL: Module bcmw15" not found.  The latter is positive, as it means that things aren't as bad as they could be, but sudo still refuses to actually work.
[07:40] <foampeace> just means im not a programmer
[07:40] <plus-V-ducky> jmdpike do you have a VNC viewer?
[07:40] <Nytryx>  so your sure that im not downloading this iso for nothing right burning it on a pc it will boot my ppc right?
[07:40] <jdmpike> plus-V-ducky, what does btsco do also, how do I remove it? I don't know how to undo a make $$ make install of a program
[07:40] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: if you're in rescue mode you don't need sudo
[07:41] <jdmpike> plus-V-ducky, can I just find / -name btsco and remove everything from my system?
[07:41] <foampeace> http://www.snika.uklinux.net/xmms-alarm/bmp-alarm-0.6.0.tar.bz2
[07:41] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: i suggest fixing /etc/hosts to have an entry 'ComputerName'
[07:41] <plus-V-ducky> You could watch me play around in KDE with bluetooth
[07:41] <foampeace> theres the one that might be good if it could be compiled...I tried xmms alarm but its not work and bmp seems to load streams better/faster
[07:42] <infralite> hello, is the only way of upgrading to breezy, getting the new iso?
[07:42] <holycow> what are the floppy and usb nodes in /dev labeled?
[07:42] <Kratos> I have a problem compiling Wine, details in #flood
[07:42] <foampeace> infralite: no you can type sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:42] <infralite> or could i update some other way without having to downoad 600mb
[07:42] <infralite> foampeace: ah, thank you very much
[07:42] <gnomefreak> infralite,  you can change the sources list to breezy from hoary
[07:42] <foampeace> infralite: you have to change your source names to breezy also
[07:42] <Wondersaurus> Fool:  D'oh.  Thanks.  How do I open etc/hosts in rescue?
[07:43] <Wondersaurus> gedit etc/hosts doesn't work.
[07:43] <infralite> foampeace: binaries too no?
[07:43] <plus-V-ducky> jdmpike, I don't have too much experience in _purging_ things built from src, but I've noticed that some src pkgs have READMEs that tell you where the executeables are put.
[07:43] <foampeace> infralite: yes
[07:43] <infralite> foampeace: all right, and any other warnings for me?
[07:43] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: try nano
[07:43] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: 'nano /etc/hosts'
[07:43] <foampeace> infralite: no i dont think so, just go with the flow
[07:43] <infralite> thanks man
[07:44] <plus-V-ducky> you can also do a diff of lsof before and after opening the app.
[07:44] <jdmpike> can anyone tell me what this means??? find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc: this may be a bug in your fil esystem driver.  Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option.  Earlier result s may have failed to include directories that should have been searched.
[07:44] <gnomefreak> i guess someone pulled it out of topic there used to be a good walkthrough for the upgrade to breezy process
[07:44] <plus-V-ducky> (all this in addition to the obvious find | whereis | locate of course)
[07:45] <HappyFool> !breezy
[07:45] <ubotu> The guide to upgrading to breezy (5.10) is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[07:45] <Wondersaurus> Alright.  Nano worked, localhost replaced with ComputerName.
[07:45] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: no
[07:45] <HappyFool> eek
[07:45] <Nytryx> hey there needs to be a step added to the xubuntu installation
[07:45] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: don't remove localhost ;)
[07:45] <gnomefreak> there it is for who ever was gonna upgrade
[07:45] <gnomefreak> ty HappyFool
[07:45] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: just add ComputerName
[07:46] <Nytryx> make sure you install xserver-xorg
[07:46] <Wondersaurus> Add it where?
[07:46] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: my first line of /etc/hosts looks like this: '<IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost ubuntu'
[07:46] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: you probably want ComputerName where I have 'ubuntu'
[07:46] <plus-V-ducky> jdmpike, that sounds weird -- have you been trying to hotplug or mount several proc fs devices?
[07:47] <jdmpike> plus-V-ducky, no - maybe usb flash drives or something...
[07:47] <Wondersaurus> Alright.  Done that.  What do I do next?
[07:47] <plus-V-ducky> Also, before you remove that gak, see if you can make it work
[07:47] <jdmpike> plus-V-ducky, so do I just need to install kdebluetooth?
[07:48] <Wondersaurus> Should I reboot and go back into Ubuntu?
[07:48] <RiXtEr> couple questions... 1st how do I get java working with firefox... 2nd how do i get the nvidia glx going? anyhelp would be appriciated.
[07:48] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: test sudo first
[07:48] <plus-V-ducky> usb flsh drives are procfs or udevfs stuff -- usually automounted in /media/usb) |~1 |~2 |...~n or /media/usbdrive
[07:48] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: does 'sudo ls' give any errors?
[07:49] <Wondersaurus> Give me a second...
[07:49] <plus-V-ducky> jdmpike, it's hard to say, and certainly I'm no expert
[07:49] <plus-V-ducky> I just so *happened* to start playing with it myself last night.
[07:50] <jdmpike> plus-V-ducky, that what you installed? also mount doesn't show anything strange...
[07:50] <Wondersaurus> Nope.  sudo ls does NOT give any errors.
[07:50] <gnomefreak> is ubuntu the only distro that sends free cds out?
[07:50] <Wondersaurus> Returns "dbootstrap_settings."
[07:50] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: ok, you can go to gui mode
[07:50] <plus-V-ducky> I'd suggest that you look at authentication settings first before you get too excited.
[07:50] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: you can either reboot (shutdown -r now) or go to GUI mode (telinit 2)
[07:51] <plus-V-ducky> jdmpike, are you using Gnome right now?
[07:51] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: sudo should work in normal (roughly, GUI) mode now
[07:51] <Wondersaurus> Rebooted.  It's the most userfriendly command I've ever seen!
[07:51] <jdmpike> plus-V-ducky, yes but I have the qt libs
[07:51] <Slackwise> Is it wrong for me to think ubuntu's gnome theme is sexy?
[07:51] <plus-V-ducky> What does nuatilus see when you open the filesystem object?
[07:51] <foampeace> i need an alarm to wake me up...nothing seems to work
[07:51] <gnomefreak> lol Slackwise
[07:51] <foampeace> mp3 alarms
[07:52] <Slackwise> gnomefreak: It's very well designed. :P
[07:52] <rel> Slackwise:  hehe. but seriously, yes it is.
[07:52] <gnomefreak> that it is Slackwise
[07:52] <Slackwise> I think I'm going to install this theme on all my Linux boxes, wether ubuntu or not :P
[07:52] <Kratos> what is the terminal command for moving files from one DIR to another?
[07:52] <nolimitsoya> when trying to install nvidia nforce sound drivers in kubuntu, (i386) i get error: unable to fins the kernel source tree for the current running kernel. please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel;
[07:52] <nolimitsoya> what do i do? :(
[07:52] <HappyFool> Kratos: 'mv'
[07:52] <Wondersaurus> Thanks, fool.
[07:52] <Eternalist> gnomefreak, whatsuppppppppp
[07:52] <Mabus06> can videos be in .bin files?
[07:52] <Kratos> HappyFool: TY
[07:52] <HappyFool> Wondersaurus: np
[07:53] <Eternalist> i just configured BMP to not hold my card hostage
[07:53] <RiXtEr> nolimitsoya, install the kernel source tree...
[07:53] <gnomefreak> hi Eternalist  :)
[07:53] <Wondersaurus> Now, to see if it worked...
[07:53] <Eternalist> so i can have mutliple sounds going with running ESD
[07:53] <nolimitsoya> yes, but how?
[07:53] <HappyFool> nolimitsoya: try install linux-headers-386 first
[07:53] <HappyFool> nolimitsoya: if that's not enough, get linux-source-2.6.12
[07:53] <smi|e> Hi I need a good video player that can play .mpg for ubuntu
[07:53] <gnomefreak> this is becoming the biggest PITA ive ever done :(
[07:53] <Mabus06> How do I play .bin files in a media player??
[07:53] <RiXtEr> smi|e, xine
[07:53] <jdmpike> plus-V-ducky, I am downloading KDE core files, this won't prevent me from running gnome will it?
[07:54] <holycow> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76517.html  <-- well this sucks
[07:54] <HappyFool> Mabus06: what does 'file' think it is? ('file filename.bin')
[07:54] <smi|e> Mabus06: you want to play BIN files?
[07:54] <holycow> that needs to be fixed asap, none of this grab from dapper stuff
[07:54] <redduck666> Mabus06, iirc vcl can do that
[07:54] <holycow> *Grrr*
[07:54] <smi|e> use TRASH instead
[07:54] <smi|e> :P~
[07:54] <Kratos> Where are the drivers for the AC'97 audio codec?
[07:54] <nolimitsoya> HappyFool and RiXtEr, thank you :)
[07:54] <smi|e> RiXtEr: Xine wont play, does it need extra codecs/decoders?
[07:54] <Mabus06> redduck666, yes vlc can do that but is that for windows or linux?
[07:54] <plus-V-ducky> smi|e, I prefer xine myself www.xineorg | # apt-get install xine-ui
[07:55] <Mabus06> what do you mean, HappyFool ?
[07:55] <Wondersaurus> Sudo works like a dream in GNOME.
[07:55] <Jemt> tritium: Thanks for all your help. build-essential is a great tool. Bluefish is running perfectly now :)
[07:55] <redduck666> Mabus06, for both of them. it works on *bsd's and has os x version too :P
[07:55] <Kratos> super do!!!
[07:55] <HappyFool> Mabus06: i mean, run the file command to find out what sort of file it is
[07:55] <foampeace> is there a good graphical cron settings app
[07:55] <gnomefreak> Wondersaurus,  i find sudo much better than su
[07:55] <plus-V-ducky> smi|e, do ytou have the xine-ui (User Interface) or just the libs?
[07:55] <RiXtEr> smi|e, i like mplayer (gmplayer) but havn't found it for ubuntu yet...
[07:55] <RiXtEr> smi|e, you could try to compile it from source.
[07:55] <foampeace> i need a way to wake up to mp3 but xmms-alarm isnt working properly
[07:56] <smi|e> plus-V-ducky: it goes to open in a firefox window, cant i get it to open seperatly?
[07:56] <gnomefreak> !mplayer
[07:56] <ubotu> I heard mplayer is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto  For compiling, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31061
[07:56] <RiXtEr> foampeace, look on freshmeat for a project
[07:56] <plus-V-ducky> RiXtEr, peopel have been coming in here for install help on mplayer all night/morning and getting it too.
[07:56] <plus-V-ducky> =)
[07:56] <foampeace> RiXtEr: for ubuntu stuff?
[07:56] <gnomefreak> brb smoke time
[07:56] <smi|e> how do i set xine as a default player?
[07:56] <smi|e> is there a terminal command
[07:57] <smi|e> when i click on a firefox link it defaults too totem
[07:57] <RiXtEr> foampeace, no.. for source stuff.
[07:57] <Mabus06> HappyFool, it says they are data files
[07:57] <foampeace> RiXtEr: maybe, but im not good at compiling stuff
[07:57] <Slackwise> damn it, i installed Kdevelop and it took over the default browser
[07:58] <smi|e> !codecs
[07:58] <ubotu> codecs is probably binary only codecs that some call evil. You can get them by going to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats, and looking for "The Codecs". Another possible download location is http://seveas.ubuntu.nl/
[07:58] <smi|e> !video
[07:58] <HappyFool> Mabus06: means file can't guess what they are. If you know for sure that it's a movie file, you can try mplayer/xine/vlc, but i imagine most movie files would be identified by 'file'
[07:58] <ubotu> NO SPEAKE ENLISH!, smi|e
[07:58] <Seveas> !codecs =~ s/ubuntu.nl/ubuntulinux.nl/
[07:58] <ubotu> OK, Seveas
[07:59] <Mabus06> HappyFool, it was from a torrent site but it's very popular and everybody who commented seemed to affirm it was the right movie
[07:59] <plus-V-ducky> smi|e, oh, I din't know you wanted a browser plugin.  Linking it with mozilla/geck is harder than just installing it, but I believe that the totem-xine 'front-end' may do that.  (As well as mplayer and even realplayer (pty) /helixplayer (Osrc)
[07:59] <nolimitsoya> installing linux-headers-386 got me past that one, and right into: gcc-version-check failed: ./nvsound/main/conftest.sh: line 9: cc: command not found could not compile gcc-version-check-c
[07:59] <ecobuntu> smi|e: what are you trying to do?  get a plugin for mozilla?
[07:59] <HappyFool> Mabus06: sorry, i'm out of ideas
[07:59] <HappyFool> nolimitsoya: get gcc-3.4
[08:00] <nolimitsoya> thanx
[08:00] <mp3guy> this makes me happy;
[08:00] <mp3guy> http://www.bitstorm.org/gates/creamedgates.mpg
[08:00] <plus-V-ducky> smi|e, also, there is a plugin manager for Firefox (for generic Mozilla the pkg is called mozplugger)
[08:00] <foampeace> where do i get help compiling stuff in ubuntu
[08:00] <smi|e> !compile
[08:00] <ubotu> I guess compile is Go and read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CheckInstall. tar -zxvf tarball, cd blah, ./configure, make, make install or install by hand.  Also, read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ConfigureMakeMakeInstall.  Ask me about <compiling>
[08:00] <smi|e> ubotu tell foampeace about compile
[08:01] <foampeace> thanks
[08:01] <nolimitsoya> HappyFool,  that didnt help :/
[08:01] <nolimitsoya> still same error message
[08:01] <foampeace> can i get ubotu to tell people also
[08:01] <ecobuntu> foampeace: it's real easy with the checkinstall package
[08:01] <HappyFool> nolimitsoya: hmm. odd
[08:01] <nolimitsoya> !
[08:01] <ubotu> nolimitsoya: Are you smoking crack?
[08:01] <HappyFool> nolimitsoya: have you installed 'build-essential' ?
[08:01] <nolimitsoya> whats that?
[08:02] <HappyFool> nolimitsoya: another package ;)
[08:02] <nolimitsoya> ^^
[08:02] <HappyFool> nolimitsoya: i'm guessing the answer is no. try install that and try again
[08:02] <foampeace> ecobuntu: is this about to lift a heavy weight off my shoulders?
[08:02] <plus-V-ducky> sorry
[08:02] <HappyFool> i hope the nforce stuff is clever enough to use the right compiler
[08:02] <LjL> ubotu: AutoDeb is an EXPERIMENTAL program to automate building (configure, compile, install) of source tarballs. It's based on !CheckInstall and !AutoApt, and can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Autodeb
[08:02] <ubotu> okay, LjL
[08:02] <alexandre> Does http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl/ is down ?
[08:03] <nolimitsoya> HappyFool,  didnt help either :(
[08:03] <HappyFool> nolimitsoya: what command are you running?
[08:03] <nolimitsoya> sudo sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0306-pkg1.run
[08:04] <Wondersaurus> Now.  This is probably a dumb, silly, newbie question, but how do I install ndiswrapper?  I'm looking at their steps, and it says "go to source-directory."  What does that mean?
[08:04] <HappyFool> nolimitsoya: ok, try 'CC=gcc-3.4 sudo sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0306-pkg1.run'
[08:04] <nolimitsoya> will do
[08:04] <jucu> Hello!
[08:04] <alexandre> Does http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl/ is down ? Or, it just me who can't access it ?
[08:05] <nolimitsoya> that worked, thanks a million! :D
[08:05] <plus-V-ducky> smi|e, I should have told you simply yes.  xine et al. will run by themselves so long as you have a UI and a valid URI/URL or local file (javascript and other active content doesn't count for our purposes, since you'd have to capture the stream and redirect it)
[08:05] <jucu> I've got a problem with the ubuntu version 5.10
[08:05] <blueblood> ANyone got VS.Net running under linux? :)
[08:05] <apokryphos> alexandre: what is it you're looking to get? It may be available from an alternative place
[08:05] <LjL> Wondersaurus: what are you trying to do? it says that ndiswrapper is installed *by default* in the ubuntu kernel, and that you don't need the source package
[08:05] <Stormx2> alexandre: Its been down for a few days
[08:05] <alexandre> madwifi drivers
[08:05] <smi|e> plus-V-ducky: in xine where is the "open from location" button?
[08:05] <plus-V-ducky> jucu, you've got a 'proble' huh?  Right then here is what you do...
[08:06] <Wondersaurus> LjL:  Whoops.  I really must have missed that.  Better safe then sorry, though.
[08:06] <jucu> When I want to install an application, it says no exclusive (Zugriff?) there...
[08:06] <void^> LjL, the question is, what version of ndiswrapper is in ubuntu by default?
[08:07] <LjL> void^: the same as the one in ndiswrapper-source, i suppose, i.e. 1.1
[08:07] <Wondersaurus> My instructions said "get it," though.
[08:07] <void^> which is "ancient"
[08:07] <plus-V-ducky> Now you want me to explain the UI -- LOL.  You'll have to play around with the mouse, I'm afraid.
[08:07] <grogoreo> what is the best client for Gnutella? If my friend had BearShare (Windows only) and I had something else, could I get at his files?
[08:07] <LjL> guys, i don't know, but if you "apt-cache shoe ndiswrapper-source", you'll see that it states it's in the kernel
[08:07] <HappyFool> erk. libgtk security update?
[08:07] <smi|e> plus-V-ducky: in xine where is the "open from location" button?
[08:07] <apokryphos> grogoreo: yes
[08:07] <Stormx2> alexandre: I just checked with seveas, he put it up again!
[08:07] <Seveas> that's a lie!
[08:07] <apokryphos> grogoreo: limewire or gtk-gnutella are a few options
[08:07] <grogoreo> apokryphos, thanks
[08:07] <alexandre> NICE!
[08:08] <N1omi> does anyone have sotware recomendations for running ubuntu on a laptop?
[08:08] <plus-V-ducky> smi|e, you already asked hat: same answer try your mosue (right clicking on the window usually brings up a context menu -- I use the 'classic skin')
[08:08] <Stormx2> !laptop
[08:08] <ubotu> well, laptop is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops or http://www.linux-laptop.net/, or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam
[08:09] <plus-V-ducky> Hovering the mouse over buttons should pop-up little yellow infio 'bubbles'
[08:09] <AzMoo> Hey. Before I upgraded to Breezy, when I right-clicked on the desktop a context menu came up with "Open Terminal" in it. I no longer have that option. Is there a way to add it back in?
[08:09] <jucu> When I want to install an application, the problem is that it says <<there's no exclusive Access>>. How can I stop this?
[08:09] <N1omi> oooh thank you Stormx2, i should have definatly thought of that XD
[08:09] <Stormx2> ;-) no problem
[08:09] <Stormx2> jucu: Yeah I'd like to see that functionality back too. Not sure how though
[08:10] <zephyrus> hey, does anyone know how to mount a ntfs partition so it is writeable?  I have it mounted with the same options as my writeable fat32s but I still can't modify the disk
[08:10] <Stormx2> wrong person >.>
[08:10] <Stormx2> I meant AzMoo
[08:10] <LjL> zephyrus: don't write to ntfs disks
[08:10] <AzMoo> zephyrus, don't even attempt it
[08:10] <gnomefreak> anyone know of a safe site to download screensavers from?
[08:10] <AzMoo> zephyrus, unless you want to lose your data
[08:10] <Stormx2> jucu: Are you using apt-get, synaptic, or aptitude, at all?
[08:11] <AzMoo> Stormx2, yeah, it's certainly annoying not having it there :\
[08:11] <jucu> No, but it says, that I have to close apt-get or something like this
[08:11] <Stormx2> AzMoo: Take a look on ubuntuforums.org - there may be a topic
[08:11] <daemos> jucu, what are you trying to do?
[08:11] <Stormx2> jucu: You are compiling? What application?
[08:11] <Nytryx> ok hit and hold c or i hit it a hundred times and the ppc wont boot ubuntu install
[08:12] <jucu> I want to install an application over <<Aplications -> install Aplication>> at the ubuntu 5.10 menue
[08:12] <zephyrus> AzMoo, lJL:  hmm, ok thanks.  Maybe I'll just reformat that drive then.
[08:12] <Stormx2> jucu: Thats aptitude based
[08:12] <Stormx2> jucu: Make sure you don't have synaptic open
[08:12] <Stormx2> jucu: Or do you have update-manager running?
[08:12] <AzMoo> Stormx2, will do, cheers.
[08:13] <jucu> The update manager says this, too
[08:13] <Stormx2> jucu: Or maybe even an open terminal with apt-get running?
[08:13] <jucu> And I've restarted my computer
[08:13] <Stormx2> jucu: Oh?
[08:13] <LjL> zephyrus: i think the best setup is to keep a (possibly small) fat32 partition for exchanging data between windows and linux, and then having a main ext3 partition for linux and a main NTFS partition for windows
[08:13] <Stormx2> jucu: You restart your computer, and you still get the problem?
[08:13] <Stormx2> LjL: I second that.
[08:13] <jucu> yes...
[08:14] <fanopnaic> btw.: Is there any way that 2.6.15 will make it into Dapper?
[08:14] <Nytryx> help my PPC wot boot the ubuntu install disk
[08:14] <Stormx2> zephyrus: I use a 60gb second disk formatted in FAT32 (XFAT) which I use for sharing
[08:14] <Stormx2> Nytryx: What happens?
[08:14] <Nytryx> nothing
[08:14] <Nytryx> the screen is grey
[08:14] <Stormx2> Nytryx: Can you boot a live CD? Have you tried
[08:15] <Nytryx> i downloaded the PPC iso
[08:15] <Freelabs> hi people
[08:15] <jucu> Heres the original law text: <<Unable to get exclusive lock
[08:15] <jucu> This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) already running. Please close that application first>>
[08:15] <Stormx2> Nytryx: Problem with the cd then. Firstly, check the file you downloaded is ok. Look into MD5 Sums
[08:15] <recon0> when I updated ubuntu, it reset the GRUB menu, any way to get windows back on it?
[08:15] <Stormx2> Nytryx: If thats ok, try to reburn on a new CD, at a slower speed
[08:15] <holycow> okay solved the floppy problem
[08:15] <Nytryx> already did that storm
[08:15] <Stormx2> Nytryx: Really?
[08:15] <Nytryx> yes
[08:16] <holycow> i'm not googling any resolution to the usb problem, breezy isn't creating usb device nodes from what i can tell.  anyone else run into this? solution?
[08:16] <Stormx2> Nytryx: And have you tried burning at a slower speed?
[08:16] <Nytryx> md5 check sum verified and burning at 8x
[08:16] <HappyFool> recon0: you need to add a windows entry to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:16] <moohhh> Hello. I'd like to switch to Evolution as the mail-client, and am thinking about installing a local IMAP server to host the mails. Any recommendations on such a setup (good/bad idea, which SW, etc)?
[08:16] <Stormx2> Nytryx: Try burning at a slower speed, maybe 1 or 2 times. Check the disc isn't scratched, too.
[08:16] <recon0> happyfool, how? my windows is on hda
[08:17] <Stormx2> recon0: Thats ok. GRUB looks into /boot/grub/menu.lst for all the OS's it can boot
[08:17] <HappyFool> recon0: can you paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' and 'mount' to the pastebin? http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[08:17] <Nytryx> ok heres an easy one storm the xserver fails on a regular ubuntu (xubuntu) pc
[08:17] <_HydriO_> how do you delete folders via the terminal?
[08:17] <Freelabs> uhm

[08:18] <Stormx2> Nytryx: The X server fails?
[08:18] <Stormx2> Nytryx: Eek
[08:18] <LjL> _HydriO_: by the way, you delete "directories", not "folders" ;)
[08:18] <Nytryx> yea
[08:18] <Nytryx> never mind im starting over
[08:19] <_HydriO_> LjL: ok i'm new to windows, im a windows programer.
[08:19] <Stormx2> Nytryx: Sorry I can't help
[08:19] <Stormx2> _HydriO_: Eh?

[08:20] <viller> hi
[08:20] <Stormx2> hey!
[08:20] <dell500> i'm trying to get writing function to my mp3 folder on my raid device, how do i get access to the whole drive so i can write to it?
[08:20] <viller> my ubuntu doesnt start again
[08:20] <Stormx2> dell500: Is it NTFS?
[08:20] <dell500> Stormx2, ext3 i think
[08:20] <daemos> does anyone here know how to mount Novell netware servers in Ubuntu?
[08:20] <jucu> someone at bugzilla.ubuntu.com has this problem, too...
[08:20] <viller> i wanted to install a second ubuntu so i could try stuff on it and not mess up my prymary ubuntu
[08:21] <HappyFool> recon0: hmm
[08:21] <viller> now the second one works and the first one doesnt
[08:21] <daemos> im pretty sure its using the ncpfp tool
[08:21] <daemos> but could use further clarification
[08:21] <Stormx2> dell500: If you are 100% sure its ext3, try chmod -r 755
[08:21] <recon0> happyfool, when my linux kernel got updated, the XP option disappeared.
[08:21] <HaschHase> hi
[08:21] <J_P> BlueEagle: know know ?
[08:21] <HaschHase> does anybody know how i can mount my webcam?
[08:21] <dell500> i think i just got it Stormx2, tried the properties of the folder, and selected the option to write to the certain group
[08:21] <HaschHase> and take pictures from my webcam?
[08:22] <Stormx2> dell500: Great :)
[08:22] <HaschHase> i dunno how to setup my webcam under linux
[08:22] <Stormx2> !webcam
[08:22] <ubotu> [webcam]  Support for webcams with messenger-like programs will be available in the next version of amsn (already in the CVS version) and with gaim-vv, or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=47841 and GQcam http://cse.unl.edu/~cluening/gqcam/
[08:22] <HaschHase> thanks Stormx2
[08:22] <viller> i got this error /bin/sh: cant access tty job control turned off
[08:22] <Stormx2> eek thats not much use for non-im stuff
[08:22] <HappyFool> recon0: try adding this to the bottom of /boot/grub/menu.lst : http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4754
[08:22] <daemos> when I first booted Ubunti, I had reformatted from using slack and the lilo config-- with the GRUB config I still get the text-based OS selection
[08:22] <Stormx2> HaschHase: Let me check for a how-to
[08:22] <jdmpike> I am just failing miserably getting my bluetooth headset working in Ubuntu
[08:22] <daemos> how can I edit the conf file
[08:22] <daemos> and make a splash screne at startup
[08:23] <HappyFool> recon0: make sure it's *AFTER* the '### END DEBIAN ...' line
[08:23] <ecobuntu> daemos: edit the multiboot line and enter splash
[08:23] <viller> what does this mean /bin/sh: cant access tty job control turned off
[08:23] <recon0> ok
[08:23] <foampeace> AUTO APT installs source dependancies?
[08:24] <dell500> Stormx2, someone told me to do 'sudo chown -R dell500:dell500 /path/to/mp3' and now i don't have any access to that dir, it has the lock symbol on it
[08:24] <ecobuntu> daemos:
[08:24] <HappyFool> recon0: unfortunately you'll have to reboot to test
[08:24] <daemos> yeah?
[08:24] <gnomefreak> auto apt?
[08:24] <ecobuntu> daemos: [#ubuntu]  daemos:
[08:24] <daemos> ecobuntu, where is the conf file?
[08:24] <ecobuntu> /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:24] <ecobuntu> you should edit the "kernel" line
[08:24] <daemos> yeah I think it booted with 'quiet splash' or something
[08:24] <ecobuntu> and add splash at the end of it
[08:24] <daemos> ok
[08:24] <recon0> ok i'll try
[08:24] <foampeace> does auto apt install source dependancies?
[08:24] <ecobuntu> yeah then you should have the splash screen
[08:24] <Stormx2> ecobuntu: If you can't save, try "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[08:24] <daemos> thanks
[08:25] <Stormx2> wrong person, meant daemos
[08:25] <ecobuntu> np
[08:25] <daemos> thanks :) handy sudo
[08:25] <Stormx2> >.> second time i've done that today
[08:25] <daemos> is it possible to make a root acct
[08:25] <Stormx2> !root
[08:25] <ubotu> hmm... root is disabled in Ubuntu, you can read all about it on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
[08:25] <Stormx2> daemos: You can
[08:25] <Wondersaurus> Alright.  I'm having problems setting up my wired connection.
[08:25] <HaschHase> StormX2, when i try to start gqcam, it says no directory /dev/video
[08:25] <daemos> yeah I always have to use sudo
[08:25] <chelseafan1989> hi :o) - UNIX n00b here and i wanted 2 know if ne1 knows how 2 get my 56KBps modem to work with UBUNTU so that i can access the net - it is currently installed using a W2K driver ne ideas?
[08:25] <daemos> to run nessus and nmap
[08:25] <Stormx2> daemos: But it breaks the GUI admin tools in the GNOME menus
[08:25] <daemos> its annoying
[08:25] <HaschHase> so i think he is searching for the webcam StormX2
[08:25] <daemos> eep ok
[08:25] <Stormx2> daemos: You can disable it again
[08:26] <daemos> maybe I can just give certain apps root priveledges?
[08:26] <daemos> so I dont have to sudo all day long
[08:26] <Stormx2> daemos: Well
[08:26] <HappyFool> enabling root won't break the sudo access used for gksudo
[08:26] <Wondersaurus> I'm connected to a router serving as a DHCP server.
[08:26] <Stormx2> daemos: You sort of can, by changing the launcher to have "gksudo" before the command name
[08:26] <HappyFool> however, we don't recommend it
[08:26] <HaschHase> !webcam
[08:26] <Stormx2> HappyFool: I thought it did.
[08:26] <Wondersaurus> sudo ifconfig does not return anything.
[08:26] <infralite> if i have no .xinitrc, can i just create one and fill it up?
[08:26] <ecobuntu> i heart ubuntu
[08:27] <Stormx2> <3
[08:27] <HappyFool> Stormx2: well, i haven't tried it, but i can't see why. sudo will still work even if root is enabled
[08:27] <ecobuntu> nice
[08:27] <chelseafan1989> can ne1 help me? :o(
[08:27] <daemos> Wondersaurus, try ifconfig eth0 up
[08:27] <Stormx2> HappyFool: Hmm, I've heard it does!
[08:27] <ecobuntu> Stormx2: i <3 ubuntu...not so much kubuntu...but ubuntu
[08:27] <daemos> do you even see the l0   loopback device ?
[08:27] <jucu> Isn't there anyone, who can help me? (Unable to get exclusive lock
[08:27] <Stormx2> ecobuntu: Never used kubuntu
[08:27] <jucu> This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) already running. Please close that application first)
[08:27] <ecobuntu> i don't really like kde
[08:27] <daemos> what IRC are the majority of you using
