[19:06] <dahitokiri> poeloq, have you ever had any problems with automounting with truecrypt under linux? on the tc linux forums, there seem to be quite a few cases
[19:07] <poeloq> dahitokiri: I don't automount, can't comment on that
[19:07] <dahitokiri> poeloq, hm, makes sense
[19:07] <hambobo> wats the grub command for xp
[19:07] <Leachy94> im installing some packages with synaptic
[19:07] <poeloq> dahitokiri: in deed ;)
[19:07] <Leachy94> like themes etc
[19:08] <poeloq> Leachy94: and?
[19:08] <dahitokiri> poeloq, how do i stop linux from automounting then?
[19:08] <Leachy94> and abiword i have that prog on XP
[19:08] <Ax-Ax> wastrel: Ctrl-Alt-F1 shows a black screen only, but commands work. But I can't read the output :(
[19:08] <poeloq> dahitokiri: automounting the USB stick?
[19:08] <Leachy94> im just saying its easy
[19:08] <dahitokiri> poeloq, yeah
[19:08] <m129> a seperate home partition can be a pain when dual booting ubuntu and fedora - damn UID problems
[19:08] <linux_> hi all of  you
[19:08] <dahitokiri> poeloq, when it's encrypted, i mean
[19:08] <poeloq> dahitokiri: to explain, I have a 4GB USB stick with 1GB files that I mount manually with TrueCrypt
[19:08] <trollfot> hi people
[19:09] <poeloq> hi trollfot
[19:09] <linux_> i have windows xp and lunus gutssy gibbon on my pc
[19:09] <dahitokiri> poeloq, ah, i see. no, i want to encrypt the whole 500 gb device
[19:09] <poeloq> dahitokiri: U hava a 500GB USB stick???!!!
[19:09] <dahitokiri> poeloq, usb external hdd
[19:09] <linux_> no
[19:09] <linux_> is inside
[19:10] <poeloq> dahitokiri: in any case, then I would take LUKS for a whole disk......but I am not an expert on that. Do u need cross-platform compatibility?
[19:10] <trollfot> I've been driven crazy today, while trying to run my nvidia card correctly. I just can't find any solutions on the forums. I keep getting NVIDIA(0): Resource conflicts detected  or even NV(0) conflicts, when trying to run the X server. Anyone could point me to a resource before I totally lose my sanity ? :)
[19:10] <poeloq> dahitokiri: makes sense. Thought we were talking USB stick
[19:10] <T1m0thy> poeloq, Scary guess, but it's still not working.
[19:10] <q_a_z_steve> poeloq, can you help me with this, installed pidgin last night on dapper, and now I run ./pidgin and get this:
[19:10] <linux_> i think  is timwe to leavwe
[19:10] <dahitokiri> poeloq, cross-platform would be nice, but isn't a necessity by any means
[19:10] <kane77> dahitokiri, may I ask a question? what kind of data you encrypt?
[19:10] <poeloq> T1m0thy: oh dear, sorry don't know then
[19:10] <linux_> any1 make me case
[19:10] <dahitokiri> kane77, anything that can get me in trouble
[19:10] <T1m0thy> poeloq, Thanks anyways.
[19:11] <dahitokiri> kane77, media, mostly
[19:11] <bjames> kane77: ok, so I now have:    /dev/hda1, ext3, / 9.5GB;   /dev/hda2, ext3, /home;   /dev/hda3, swap.  All primary partitions.  Does this sound right before I click "GO"?
[19:11] <sethk> trollboy, is that all the info you have?  Is there any additional info in the X log?
[19:11] <poeloq> q_a_z_steve: what do you mean you run ./pigdin
[19:11] <q_a_z_steve> poeloq, http://q_a_z_steve.pastebin.org/9234
[19:11] <kane77> dahitokiri, oh.. ok..
[19:11] <poeloq> q_a_z_steve: what is where the configs are
[19:12] <kane77> bjames, sounds ok to me... (if that's all you want then it's great)
[19:12] <bjames> right then...
[19:12] <joeb3_> q_a_z_steve, are you root?
[19:12] <dahitokiri> is there a way for ubuntu to pass on the options passed during the kernel binary building to future kernel make commands?
[19:12] <sethk> poeloq, "where the configs are" would appear to be information about where the configuration for the program you are asking about resides.
[19:12] <dahitokiri> ...if that makes any sense
[19:12] <Alanius> I've got this wierd problem
[19:12] <poeloq> sethk: come again?

[19:13] <sethk> dahitokiri, If you are building from source, then yes.  I'm not clear about what you mean by "during the kernel binary building"
[19:13] <q_a_z_steve> poeloq, I installed from that folder, now I have -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6059 2007-11-24 11:53 pidgin

[19:15] <joeb3_> q_a_z_steve, no idea.  your pastebin error is caused by the root user trying to open the display.
[19:15] <bjames> poeloq: cheers for the help
[19:15] <georgy_28> ! ask
[19:15] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[19:15] <nightangel> poeloq : i think it's useless to install it, bacause I ws wathing an other OGG Theora video and it was working. but the OGG Theora video I recorded with RecordMyDesktop does not work

[19:17] <dahitokiri> sethk, thanks!
[19:17] <sethk> Alanius, which window manager?
[19:17] <wastrel> AD7six: there's no compiler by default, you probably need to install the build-essential package
[19:17] <sethk> dahitokiri, np
[19:17] <q_a_z_steve> joeb3_, do I need ssl/TLS and things?
[19:17] <Alanius> Gnome, but nice effects enabled

[19:20] <thinh> ifconfig
[19:20] <kane77> rinaldi_, Leachy94, I managed to get it working. you need to install: python-gtkglext1 and python-opengl
[19:20] <RequinB4> ifconfig
[19:20] <Leachy94> for 3D chess
[19:20] <rinaldi_> kane77: thanks
[19:20] <joeb3_> q_a_z_steve, can't check that one. don't use google..
[19:20] <thinh> how do i turn sleep mode off ?
[19:20] <Leachy94> i new i had to install sumin like that but thought its would b in o for opengl

[19:21] <thinh> i have ubuntu- desktop
[19:21] <Flare183> arkatis:> tools, optitions look for opengl accleration
[19:21] <mirak> is there a way to rebuild a Ubuntu for a CPU target with more options ?
[19:21] <joeb3_> q_a_z_steve, click Buddies, show, offline buddies
[19:21] <q_a_z_steve> joeb3_, I have, if the setting will stick
[19:21] <arkatis> Flare183: Thanks, i try.
[19:21] <thinh> it seems like my desktop is in sleep mode and wont respond to internet call
[19:22] <trollfot> anyone here heard about the Xorg bug, causing the resources to conflict ? (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6377) ?
[19:22] <sethk> mirak, you mean more kernel options?
[19:22] <rinaldi_> kane77: yeh bit of a dissapointment...
[19:23] <kane77> rinaldi_, then there's dream chess.. that looks nice...
[19:23] <thinh> how u setup ubuntu to listen to a ssh call
[19:23] <thinh> ?
[19:23] <Flare183> arkatis:> welcome
[19:23] <wastrel> thinh: you need to install  openssh-server

[19:23] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

[19:23] <kane77> thinh, you mean ssh server?
[19:23] <Leachy94> well i got openGL thing downloading and open arena and some game called gladiator or something
[19:24] <thinh> i have that installed already
[19:24] <Parsi> hey
[19:24] <wastrel> openssh-server is the package name
[19:24] <MIXON> x-server error
[19:24] <Leachy94> Linux is way cooler than i thought
[19:24] <Parsi> does Gusty live cd come with compiz?
[19:24] <mirak> sethk: no I mean I have a powerpc G4, but the target is just generic powerpc, which skips G3 cpu and G4 cpu, especially altivec instructions. I built a gentoo for it already, but I hate gentoo. That's not what I am looking for as a user. I want a distribution that can compile for target, but also as usuable as Ubuntu.
[19:24] <kane77> can I check fat32 disk in ubuntu?
[19:24] <thinh> the problem is when i leave my house it the computer goes into sleep mode or something and doesnt respond to any thing
[19:25] <sethk> mirak, check out the "linux from scratch" web site
[19:25] <arkatis> Flare183: It doesn't help. I don't understand it because compiz is running very well....
[19:25] <georgy_28> thinh: look in your bios for wake-up on lan ?
[19:25] <mirak> sethk: that's too much
[19:25] <winter> BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#01! can somebody tell me whats it this ?:( its show me when i turn of my ubuntu
[19:25] <MIXON> propriety driver ati is good? i install it and my x-server don't start
[19:25] <winter> sory, turn ON
[19:25] <sethk> mirak, I would rebuild only critical apps.  There will be no measurable improvement between rebuilding the important things and rebuilding everything.
[19:26] <MIXON> resolution 640-480
[19:26] <thinh> i havent look just wonder is that how ubuntu is defaulted i mean
[19:26] <sethk> winter, looks like a hardware error
[19:26] <hambobo> should i enable desktop effects
[19:26] <mirak> sethk: between ubuntu and gentoo on a powerpc G4 there was really a noticeable improvment
[19:26] <Parsi> how can i find out it's compiz or breyl installed?
[19:26] <thinh> ubuntu goes into sleep mode automatic if you dont use it for sometime?
[19:26] <sethk> mirak, yes, but you need to compare ubuntu with a kernel built for G4
[19:26] <Flare183> arkatis:> weird
[19:27] <mirak> sethk: but as I said I just like the build features of gentoo. I don't like the lego like distribution
[19:27] <NelsonUWP> hey how come my computer locks up constantly in gutsy?
[19:27] <mirak> sethk: I didn't understood
[19:27] <MIXON> people!
[19:27] <wastrel> Parsi: gusty comes with compiz fusion
[19:27] <MIXON> help me
[19:27] <sethk> mirak, usually rebuilding the kernel and some critical libraries will get you just as far as rebuilding everything
[19:27] <carlk> MIXON: why?
[19:27] <Parsi> aow
[19:27] <MIXON> trable with x-server
[19:27] <arkatis> Flare183: do you know what i can do?
[19:27] <CoasterMaster> NelsonUWP, try disabling the visual effects (System -> Preferences -> Appearance) then the Visual effects tab
[19:27] <Parsi> can i install breyl?
[19:27] <chazco> !lamp
[19:27] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[19:28] <gnuvince_> What's the name of the gnome burning application?
[19:29] <CoasterMaster> NelsonUWP, yeah, I had the same problem and that's what fixed it for me......or you can install the restricted drivers and that will fix the problem as well
[19:29] <Flare183> arkatis:> launchpad
[19:29] <mirak> sethk: mmm
[19:29] <CoasterMaster> NelsonUWP, ATI card and all
[19:29] <arkatis> Flare183: Thanks a lot
[19:29] <thinh> because when i ping i only ping the router and the router is always on
[19:29] <Parsi> but where is cubic desktop?
[19:29] <thigu> gnuvince_: you can use the k3b or nautilus-burner
[19:29] <NelsonUWP> coastermaster, alrighty, thank you
[19:29] <dgjones> gnuvince, or gnomebaker
[19:29] <Flare183> parsi:> i still have the beryl source if you want to build it
[19:29] <gnuvince_> thigu: thanks.
[19:29] <Parsi> no...
[19:29] <MIXON> i install ati driver

[19:30] <Parsi> Flare: how?
[19:30] <UbuntMe> It just wont work anymore, I think I messed it up
[19:30] <sethk> mirak, yes, I know.  Build the kernel from kernel source, then do your performance comparison (ubuntu enhanced with G4 kernel vs gentoo).  If that doesn't give you enough performance, then we can rebuild libc (also from source).

One for ubuntu and software, and one for my large files. But none of these show up as a disc in the computer window, like im used to in windows. I guess the first one kinda shows, as the file system, but i would really like to have the second one show to. Can anyone help me with this?
[19:33] <LtEmerpoc> im lovin it and hatin it right now...
[19:34] <LtEmerpoc> mainly because...
[19:34] <mattsu-kun> my computer is werry fucking fucked.....if i try to reinstall 7.10 it says low memery....and I just keep logging uot if I trying to do anything else then the terminal and Pidgin....someone eho can help me?!
[19:34] <Parsi> thankx
[19:34] <LtEmerpoc> im not a very good coder...
[19:34] <LtEmerpoc> well....
[19:34] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: you don't need to be one to use ubuntu
[19:34] <LtEmerpoc> i dont understand code very much...

[19:34] <sethk> anders, in unix, everything is a child of the root node.  The second partition appears in the tree at its mount point.  Running the command mount (no arguments) will show you where.

[19:35] <gateway> hi there... is there a program for disk management (formating and so on) with a gui? i know that you can install gparted or qtparted (gnome or kde) but isnt there a standard installed piece of software?
[19:35] <bluefox83> Parsi, sudo apt-get install ccsm
[19:35] <LtEmerpoc> i have a 9600xt and i cant find drivers.. and then even if i do find them i STILL dont understand how to fix it... to get compiz fusion (i think thats what its called) on my computer
[19:35] <LtEmerpoc> install **
[19:36] <tritium> Parsi: it's in universe
[19:36] <Flare183> parsi:> bring up a terminal and and type in this "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:36] <sethk> gateway, yes, but I'm a kde user so I can't tell you precisely where to look.
[19:36] <mattsu-kun> sorry....but I Can't go online in a webbrower:S
[19:36] <jmauler> hello,  does anyone know how I can make my modprobe alterations persistent?
[19:36] <hambobo> some1 see my grub menu and see if its right http://pastebin.com/d246d0e5d
[19:36] <jmauler> I know that for remove I can use the blacklist
[19:36] <gateway> sethk, i didnt find it ... its really strange ...
[19:36] <wastrel> jmauler: /etc/modules
[19:36] <tritium> jmauler: /etc/modules is for modules to load at boot
[19:36] <jmauler> but for add
[19:36] <sethk> gateway, in many cases you get that functionality by using your browser with file://
[19:36] <thigu> LtEmerpoc: what is your resolution now?
[19:36] <meta4ical> Could anyone help me get my x800 working with the fglrx drivers? I reboot to a black screen don't know what to do. I've been googling my butt off for like a week but am lost : (
[19:36] <LtEmerpoc> 800x600
[19:37] <sethk> gateway, not for partitioning though, just for formatting and file management
[19:37] <thigu> LtEmerpoc: what is the monitor size?
[19:37] <jmauler> but my /etc/modules only have fs .. where are all the drivers?
[19:37] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: is this a fresh gutsy install?  What video card do you have?
[19:37] <LtEmerpoc> its a 19" widescreen
[19:37] <tritium> jmauler: most are auto-detected
[19:37] <LtEmerpoc> i have a 9600xt
[19:37] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: no, not the monitor.  The video card.
[19:37] <LtEmerpoc> ati
[19:37] <gateway> ok thanks... its more a informational question because i think there should be something for unexpirienced users
[19:37] <LtEmerpoc> ati 9600xt
[19:37] <jmauler> ok... so if I put ndiswrapper in /etc/modules it will load at init? thanks!!
[19:38] <tritium> jmauler: yes
[19:38] <LtEmerpoc> yeah
[19:38] <thinh> how do you turn off the default sleep of machine?
[19:38] <jmauler> tritium:  thanks!
[19:38] <mattsu-kun> Is there any recovery mode installt in Ubuntu 7.10?!
[19:39] <wastrel> yes mattsu-kun
[19:39] <tritium> mattsu-kun: as in single-user mode?  yes, hit Esc at boot to get to the grub menu, and select it
[19:39] <anders> I cant find System > Administration > Disks...
[19:39] <slothimus> hey i'm a pretty big noob when it comes to linux and ubuntui, just installed it for the first time yesterday
[19:39] <slothimus> but my window decorations won't display
[19:40] <LtEmerpoc> so is there any help for me or am i just screwed..
[19:40] <rabidsnail> I'm having trouble with my usb wireless keyboard/mouse. It's a macally iwebkey. lsusb gives it an ID of 0000:0000.
[19:40] <tritium> !ati | LtEmerpoc
[19:40] <ubotu> LtEmerpoc: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[19:40] <mattsu-kun> yeah...I tried that...but....I hade to write in the trminal...and thete I don't know what to do:S
[19:40] <thinh1977> is there anyway to turn off the default sleep mode when no one uses the computer
[19:40] <tritium> mattsu-kun: that's what single-user mode is
[19:41] <tritium> mattsu-kun: what troubles are you having/
[19:41] <nnoeonn> what is the command for fps check?
[19:41] <jacob> what's the difference between the find and the locate command?
[19:41] <meta4ical> Why does noone ever respond to me lol ; (
[19:41] <crdlb> jacob: locate uses a database, whereas find searches the live filesystem
[19:42] <meta4ical> I'll pay whoever helps me $5 paypal hm? :)
[19:42] <nnoeonn> crdlb: what was your question?
[19:42] <mattsu-kun> if i start anything else then pidgin and terminal I Logging uot from the computer automtlicly....
[19:42] <Sharpie> meta4ical: what's your question?
[19:42] <crdlb> nnoeonn: you're a line off :)
[19:42] <VSpike2> Hey folks - I've now got 2 ubuntu machines on my network and I want to share files betweem them.  The main one is already set up with samba because I have a windows machine too.  Should I just use samba on the new ubuntu box or is there a distinct advantage to using NFS (or something else?)
[19:42] <jacob> crdlb: im an intermediate computer user and new to linux, sorry, but i still don't understand
[19:42] <nnoeonn> crdlb: haha kinda noticed xD
[19:42] <LtEmerpoc> i still dont understand...
[19:43] <thinh1977> i have strange problem with my screen i have dell d630. when i turn on the computer goes blank during the process until it hit x window and samething when i switch of the computer after it exit x window screen goes blank until it shutdown
[19:43] <wastrel> the principle advantage of using nfs is that then you don't have to use samba
[19:43] <meta4ical> I have an Radeon X800 Pro and I have been trying to install the restricted drivers for about a week now, but I reboot to a black screen. I also tried ENVY but that boots me to a White screen
[19:43] <nnoeonn> what is the command for fps check? any1 know? xD
[19:43] <wastrel> principal
[19:43] <VSpike2> jacob: find actually does the search when you issue the command...
[19:43] <jmauler> tritium:  I was trying to use my wireless network, but it was static ip network. It asks me to auth, and I put the correct pass and it keeps answer me... so I ve changed my network to dhcp, and it worked... i think ahari is trying to force dhcp, or anything like this.. and tries to reconnect, do you know how can I disable that without loosing network manager?
[19:43] <stefg> VSpike2: consider sshfs for a simple 2-box linux<-> linux networking
[19:43] <nnoeonn> meta4ical
[19:43] <wastrel> anyway, if you've got samba going already you might as well keep on with it
[19:43] <crdlb> jacob: every time you use find, it searches your actual filesystem. locate uses a database (updated once a day) so it's really fast
[19:43] <meta4ical> I've posted on linuxquestions and ubuntu forums and tried googling/searching both forums
[19:43] <slothimus> hey any help would be appreciated i installed ubuntu yesterday for the first time and it had all the window decorations and effects and stuff but today the window decorations are gone and as far as i know i am just using the default window manager or whatever
[19:43] <No_Smoke> hello
[19:43] <VSpike2> jacob: locate has a background task which constantly updates a database
[19:43] <vzaytzev> cds
[19:44] <meta4ical> I followed the binaryhowto and everything
[19:44] <No_Smoke> can i format an partition in ntfs?
[19:44] <nnoeonn> meta4ical: I have a x300 card, and the restricted driver worked fine, sure ure using the right one?
[19:44] <crdlb> jacob: but if you make a new file, it won't show up in a locate search until the next update
[19:44] <stefg> No_Smoke: not really
[19:44] <nnoeonn> no_smoke: Shouldnt be any problems
[19:44] <meta4ical> All I did was freshly install 7.10 and then click the "Restricted Drivers" popup in the top right
[19:44] <tritium> jmauler: no, sorry
[19:44] <nnoeonn> stefg: why not? O.o
[19:44] <VSpike2> stefg: oh yeah good idea.  I forgot about that.  But possibly overkill for a local network in terms of the CPU overhead in the crypto?
[19:44] <nnoeonn> meta4ical: continue
[19:45] <No_Smoke> with partition editor i can't..
[19:45] <jacob> crdlb: and that's when i use the sudo updatedb command, right?
[19:45] <crdlb> jacob: yes
[19:45] <meta4ical> nnoeonn: and just like my old x1550, I boot to a black screen. and I can't reach terminal either
[19:45] <VSpike2> stefg: Useful if this laptop goes offsite though
[19:45] <crdlb> that updates locate's database
[19:45] <hambobo> slothimus: when you were using the live CD to test Ubuntu out the settings, the live CD doesnt go to your hard drive
[19:45] <No_Smoke> can't format to ntfs
[19:45] <stefg> nnoeonn: because there are several versions of ntfs, and there is no real native implementation
[19:45] <jmauler> tritium:  tks..
[19:45] <nnoeonn> meta4ical: hmm... that's weird
[19:45] <tom__> hi all, is there any way to install the all of the graphics drivers at once, including fglrx and nvidia?
[19:45] <lotia> anyone using a thinkpad t61p
[19:45] <nnoeonn> stefg: ok :P I stand corrected
[19:45] <meta4ical> nnoeonn: I posted my xorg.conf and initial problem on the ubuntu forums but no replies yet -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3792186#post3792186
[19:46] <crdlb> tom__: no, the proprietary drivers clobber each other
[19:46] <VSpike2> Second question is, are there any good gnome tools for smb browsing/mounting?
[19:46] <stefg> VSpike2: i find sshfs considerably faster than samba, and don't the overhead isn't that bad
[19:46] <tritium> tom__: do you have two graphics cards, one being ati, the other being nvidia?  Why would you want to do taht?
[19:46] <tritium> that*
[19:46] <VSpike2> stefg: really? interesting
[19:46] <No_Smoke> nnoeonn, do you know how to format it in ntfs
[19:46] <crdlb> tom__: in hardy, it will be possible to install fglrx + all the open source drivers. But there's no chance of nvidia working with anything else anytime soon
[19:46] <tom__> tritium: its for a usb install, so i can use it on multiple computers and just dpkg-reconfigure
[19:46] <tritium> tom__: ah
[19:47] <tom__> any ideas for a workaround?
[19:47] <nnoeonn> no_smoke: what system are you trying to format it into?
[19:47] <nnoeonn> no_smoke: Into ntfs again or another linux?
[19:47] <tom__> i hate vesa drivers
[19:48] <stefg> VSpike2: and samba authrntication and account setup is a real pita. since you probably want an openssh server on both boxes anyway, why not use it for file transfer as well ?
[19:48] <tritium> tom__: perhaps keep the .debs in /var/cache/apt/archives/ on the usb stick?
[19:48] <crdlb> tritium: some people with laptops have switches between intel and nvidia video (for battery life vs. performance), and other people want to use xinerama across two cards
[19:48] <No_Smoke> nnoeonn, the deleted parititon
[19:48] <tritium> crdlb: yes, he did explain his intentions
[19:48] <tom__> tritium but how could i detect which one to install at boot?
[19:48] <crdlb> tom__: an init script?
[19:49] <jacob> crdlb: if i wanted to search for a specific file (strictly speaking in terms of strings) what option sould i use for locate?
[19:49] <crdlb> check lspci
[19:49] <tom__> crdlb: yea, currently it just has dpkg-reconfigure in
[19:49] <LtEmerpoc> well who ever was helping me before help me again.. i dont understand....  The software source for the package
[19:49] <LtEmerpoc>    xorg-driver-fglrx
[19:49] <LtEmerpoc>  is not enabled.
[19:49] <LtEmerpoc> thats what it says to me when i try to enable it..
[19:49] <tom__> but i need a way of detecting which card it is, to decide which package (if any) to install
[19:50] <crdlb> tom__: check "lspci|grep VGA"
[19:50] <nnoeonn> No_smoke: I would use a windows comp and plug the hdd in to that, and use the software that's on windows to do it
[19:50] <jannen> how can I do so when I in a application shall choose folder I can choose smb-mounted shares ? I can open thoose shares otherwise.
[19:50] <jacob> tom_: are you having wireless driver problems?
[19:50] <nnoeonn> No_smoke: It's probaly the easiest way
[19:50] <No_Smoke> nnoeonn, ok
[19:50] <jacob> tom_: i can help you w/ that if that's the case
[19:50] <VSpike2> stefg: true -- i have the samba server set up but samba clients are generally a pain in the butt
[19:50] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: you need to enable the restricted section of the repositories
[19:50] <tom__> crdlb: but i need a 'computer readable' output
[19:50] <nnoeonn> meta4ical: Hmm, i have no idea why it doesnt work
[19:51] <VSpike2> stefg: and I've just tried sshfs and it's as insanely great as everything else in the ssh world :)
[19:51] <LtEmerpoc> how to ??
[19:51] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[19:51] <VSpike2> stefg: it's almost too easy
[19:51] <MilitantPotato> Can someone tell me how to enable bootlogging?
[19:51] <nnoeonn> meta4ical: Have you tried to get it to work with windows? could be a hardware issue
[19:51] <LtEmerpoc> then?
[19:51] <crdlb> tom__: there might be a way to use the restricted-manager in command line mode to find out what drivers to install...
[19:51] <crdlb> I seem to remember such a feature
[19:51] <meta4ical> nnoeonn: I'm dual booting both, and it's a brand new OEM card, works fine in windows :P
[19:51] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: then you'll make the fglrx packages available
[19:52] <meta4ical> nnoeonn: I had identical issues with my x1550 but ENVY fixed it, that isn't the case with the x800 unfortunately
[19:52] <nnoeonn> meta4ical: xD That sucks :P
[19:52] <LtEmerpoc> no how do i enable it?
[19:52] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: you'll see a checkbox
[19:52] <tom__> this is the final hurdle lol, hell, ive even made a kexec boot floppy to boot it on systems that dont support biosusb boot :P
[19:52] <LtEmerpoc> on ALL the boxes or no?
[19:52] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: did you already try System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager?
[19:52] <LtEmerpoc> yes
[19:53] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: and what happened?
[19:53] <Jack_Sparrow> meta4ical: envy is a horrible thing to do to a computer
[19:53] <tritium> Jack_Sparrow++
[19:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Hi trit
[19:53] <meta4ical> Jack_Sparrow: Well I'm rather new and desperate :(
[19:53] <LtEmerpoc> it said not enabled
[19:53] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: okay, so enable it as I suggested to you
[19:53] <nnoeonn> meta4ical: Well, the only thing i can imagine is going wrong is that the card isn't supported, but then i'm no elite at it ... Just know some stuff from here and there :P
[19:53] <Jack_Sparrow> meta4ical: It isnt something that is easy to undo ...
[19:54] <meta4ical> Jack_Sparrow: The suggestion to try ENVY actually came from this channel :P
[19:54] <LtEmerpoc> i did and it says the same thing
[19:54] <n08l3J> is there any way to uninstall a network adapter ?
[19:54] <margaret> Hi, following instructions at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_nVidia_drivers_in_7.04 which say something about GTX something.
[19:54] <Jack_Sparrow> meta4ical: It is NOT what people.. especially here should be telling you to do
[19:54] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: after enabling, you'll have to reload the package lists (e.g. sudo apt-get update, or via synaptic, etc.)
[19:54] <meta4ical> nnoeonn: I thought that too but there are people on the forums and whatnot with the card working, but that was 2005-2006ish. I sent private messages to them asking how they did it but noone responded
[19:54] <thinh1977> wake on lan is only for when the computer is shutdown right?
[19:54] <tritium> thinh1977: yes
[19:55] <hambobo> can any1 help me
[19:55] <Jack_Sparrow> meta4ical: the only thing worse is automatix

[19:56] <threethirty> hello all
[19:57] <LtEmerpoc> ummm okay sorry...
[19:57] <augustz2> Current driver version is 8.37....
[19:57] <margaret> restricted driver says: Your hardwared does not need any restricted drivers
[19:57] <LtEmerpoc> yeah
[19:57] <tritium> margaret: what hardware do you have?
[19:57] <augustz2> not sure if it updates automatically or if I have to go download stuff.
[19:57] <LtEmerpoc> i do appreciate the help...
[19:57] <Symgeosis> Does anybody know of some good packages for the latest version of MySQL Admin? The package in the repos is quite old and if I alien the RPMs from mysql.com the resulting debs don't work.
[19:57] <thinh1977> how do i change the mode?
[19:57] <LtEmerpoc> thanks it works now...
[19:57] <Jack_Sparrow> margaret: than can also imply that none are available
[19:57] <margaret> nvidia geforce 8300
[19:57] <stefg> margaret: so you could try manually by 'sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules-generic nvidia-glx-new'
[19:57] <LtEmerpoc> now off to work lol.. already an hour an a half late lol
[19:57] <LtEmerpoc> thanks to everyone
[19:57] <Jack_Sparrow> margaret: nvidia work great
[19:57] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: you got it working?
[19:57] <threethirty> does anyone know how to convert video files to .avm i tried mencoder but it doesn't understand the format
[19:57] <augustz2> anyone on the ATI driver upgrade question?
[19:57] <margaret> stefg, ok, will try that
[19:57] <LtEmerpoc> yeah i did..
[19:58] <tritium> LtEmerpoc: good
[19:58] <LtEmerpoc> g2g
[19:58] <nnoeonn> meta4ical: haha, spelled my name wrong xD Well, it could be a bug in 7.10, but i don't know
[19:58] <LtEmerpoc> later.. and thanks again
[19:58] <tritium> sure
[19:58] <LtEmerpoc> software is like sex... always better when its free
[19:58] <nnoeonn> Ltemerpoc: Amen to that brother!
[19:58] <stefg> margaret: after that you'll have to reconfigure your xorg.conf to make it use that driver
[19:58] <tritium> augustz2: what do you mean by upgrade options?
[19:58] <jacob> cool, chatzilla, didin't know that there was such an extension, firefox rocks
[19:58] <hambobo> in the grub menu wats the commands for windows XP
[19:58] <margaret> stefg, yeah, went that route before
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> margaret: do you know how to reconfigure?
[19:59] <margaret> jesus, why doesn't dell preconfigure this stuff? this is nuts?
[19:59] <augustz2> So I installed 7.1. When new ATI Propertiary drivers come out, do I need to do something (like download them from ATI's side) or does ubuntu upgrade them automatically?
[19:59] <stefg> margaret: sometimes the l-r-m is a bit off and takes a too old driver for a newer nvidia-card
[19:59] <augustz2> I've got an X300 on my laptop, and read about new ATI drivers.

[20:00] <stefg> !wifi | CapaH
[20:00] <ubotu> CapaH: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> CapaH: did you ever look at the hardware page to see which usb wireless work the best?
[20:00] <CarlFK> CapaH: this one works for me: 00:09.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[20:00] <tritium> augustz2: they won't be updated unless there is a security fix until the next release
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> CapaH: I have several bcm43 that work great
[20:00] <federico_> Hello. Somebody can help me installing a webcam on Ubuntu 7.04?
[20:00] <thinh1977> what mode does the computer go into when u leave the system for a long time?
[20:01] <augustz2> tritium: Ok, if I want to update before then should I download from ATI's site?
[20:01] <VSpike2> Any good photo slideshow screensavers for gnome?
[20:01] <CapaH> Jack_Sparrow: It doesn't matter I purchased every one within 10 miles of me heh
[20:01] <tritium> augustz2: we don't recommend that

[20:01] <Jack_Sparrow> CarlFK: I found a page that seemed to improve the speed on my bcm43
[20:01] <threethirty> federico, what are you wanting to do with it?
[20:01] <augustz2> trying to get some fancier graphics... with my x300... :) Not sure if it'd work.
[20:01] <tritium> augustz2: you'll only get support here for ubuntu packages
[20:01] <augustz2> ok, so I should wait till next release. Fair enough.
[20:01] <CapaH> I have a NETGEAR pci card in right now
[20:01] <CapaH> I type: iwconfig ath0 --- it appears fine, but I cannot actually connect
[20:01] <augustz2> thanks for the help!
[20:01] <kane77> VSpike2, there is f-spot screensaver...
[20:02] <whitespy9> I have dapper installed. if I create a partition to boot with gutsy. Will Gutsy be able to use the additional apps I installed (firefox, eclipse, java, etc?)
[20:02] <VSpike2> kane77: doesn't fspot want to import all the photos to some location of its own first?
[20:02] <margaret> k, so I got glx
[20:02] <MilitantPotato> Can someone tell me how to enable boot logging?  I've already tried setting /etc/default/bootlogd
[20:02] <MilitantPotato>  to 'yes'
[20:02] <stefg> whitespy9: probably no
[20:02] <margaret> now I've got to change xorg.conf?
[20:02] <kane77> VSpike2, no.. it is the default setting but you can disable it
[20:02] <whitespy9> thanks stefg
[20:03] <CarlFK> Jack_Sparrow: so you mess with wifi...  do anything with wpa and keyring stuff?  I am trying to not have to enter any pw each time I boot - led me here: http://www.hekanetworks.com/index.php/publisher/articleview/frmArticleID/25/staticId/31/
[20:03] <Jack_Sparrow> CapaH: do you have network-manager-gnome_0.6.4-6ubuntu7_i386.deb or similar installed... not sure if it is installed automagically or not
[20:03] <stefg> margaret: so have you run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' ?
[20:03] <margaret> last time i configured xorg.conf I broke the system
[20:03] <margaret> had wrong screen res
[20:03] <CapaH> how can I check
[20:03] <margaret> have not run that yet, no
[20:03] <Jack_Sparrow> CarlFK: I manually entered the mac address for mine here
[20:03] <PederB> Hm, anyone else got a problem with what you enter in the "Name" and "Password" fields of the login screen beeing really big? And the top part of a window when logged in is large?(the one with the maximize and minimize button.
[20:04] <stefg> margaret: so if it works and glxinfo | grep direct say everything is fine you should be done
[20:04] <nnoeonn> meta4ical: try this webpage: http://mywheel.net/blog/index.php/2005/11/17/ati-x800-on-ubuntu-breezy/
[20:04] <olivier_> #trustonme
[20:04] <CarlFK> Jack_Sparrow: rats.  hoping you had the magic answer for me :)
[20:04] <nnoeonn> meta4ical: if you havent already tried it
[20:04] <Jack_Sparrow> CarlFK:   you may find this interesting..  http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2007/05/another-way-to-get-wi-fi-on-dell-1501.html
[20:04] <margaret> do I want to use "kernel framebuffer interface?"
[20:05] <hambobo> is this right http://pastebin.com/d7027eb80
[20:05] <mirak> hi
[20:05] <exius> where's the kernel source location in ubuntu 7.0.4
[20:05] <federico_> threethirty I want to try videoconference with skype beta
[20:05] <mirak> is there a heavy client in GTK that can synchronise calendar info with Google Calendar ?
[20:05] <margaret> stefg: it's asking if I want to use "kernel framebuffer interface"
[20:06] <mirak> for exemple evolution, I don't know ...
[20:06] <stefg> margaret: doesn't matter, the nvidia driver overrides that anyway. prolly choose no
[20:06] <hambobo> exius: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:06] <nnoeonn> How do i tweak my ati x300, when i play video files the picture is messed up (original size works, but fullscreen makes it "pixelated")
[20:06] <exius> hambobo thanks ill try it
[20:06] <Jack_Sparrow> hambobo: gksudo gedit ....

[20:07] <VSpike2> kane77: still will take it a while to scan 6500+ photos over a wireless 11mbps link but it does look like the best option:)
[20:07] <CarlFK> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[20:07] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[20:07] <hambobo> jack_Sparrow: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst works for me
[20:08] <Jack_Sparrow> CarlFK: I saw a noticable improvement
[20:08] <margaret> should I do simple/medium/advanced  monitor config?
[20:08] <kane77> VSpike2, yes it takes a while.. and I don't like importing so many photos at once.. but I don't know of any other photo screensaver...
[20:08] <livingdaylight> i want to control the volume of different apps i got going simultaneously
[20:08] <Jack_Sparrow> hambobo: You run the risk of trashing your permissions.  Use gksudo for gui apps
[20:08] <margaret> I use debian from the command line all the time, this is definitely not ready for the avg. user
[20:08] <hambobo> oh
[20:08] <livingdaylight> i have only volume control for all
[20:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo
[20:08] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[20:08] <livingdaylight> i want to turn down volume on game when i am playing music without one affecting the other
[20:08] <Jack_Sparrow> not what I wanted...
[20:08] <livingdaylight> is this possible?
[20:09] <ubuntun00b> i would like to run an external monitor (samsung syncmaster 245b) and diable the one on my laptop... my video card, ati mobility radeon 9700, doesn't support the full resolution of this monitor (1920x1200), only 1600x1200...
[20:09] <ubuntun00b> how can i do this?
[20:09] <margaret> stefg: ok, configured. now what? reboot?
[20:09] <VSpike2> Mmm you know I really like gnome a lot .. i'm wondering why it took me so long to try it
[20:09] <VSpike2> Try it properly anyway
[20:09] <kane77> VSpike2, but be sure to uncheck the "copy to photos" checkbox BEFORE you select folder :)
[20:09] <linux88> whats that one program called that lets you edit or access your motorolla phone?
[20:09] <linux88> mot4lin?
[20:09] <thinh1977> if the computer goes into suspend does it respond to ssh?
[20:09] <ubuntun00b> as my nick implies i've just made the switch to ubuntu (from winxp)
[20:09] <Jack_Sparrow> livingdaylight: depending on the hardware you can turn down a midi while up a wave
[20:09] <VSpike2> kane77: yeah I got that on about the 3rd attempt :)
[20:10] <federico_> stefg My webcam seems not to be supported. It's a Genius VideoCAM Slim USB2. Any ideas?
[20:10] <stefg> margaret: reboot, or run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' from a tty-console  (ctrl-alt-f1)
[20:10] <margaret> k
[20:10] <kane77> VSpike2, same here.. I always forget that...
[20:10] <Asterix> is there a way to view previous updates and be able to roll some of them back?
[20:10] <Jack_Sparrow> livingdaylight: but if they ware both the same type of sound, I doubt it will work
[20:10] <stefg> federico_: yeah... get a compatible webcam
[20:10] <meta4ical> nnoeonn: Sorry i was making some food, i'll check the link out now : )
[20:10] <VSpike2> kane77: where is the metadata/db stored? ~/.fspot or something?
[20:10] <VSpike2> kane77: would be nice if both linux boxes could share the same db
[20:11] <Leachy94> noob question but what is the difference between linux and mac or are they the same
[20:11] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: welcome, ask any question you like.. about ub
[20:11] <desertc> Leachy94: Linux embraces the concept of Free Software.  http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
[20:11] <VSpike2> Leachy94: the only thing that is the same is that they are both based on unix-like operatign systems
[20:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Leachy94: Not the same, but both unix based
[20:12] <Leachy94> so half the same?
[20:12] <Jack_Sparrow> unix-like is better wording
[20:12] <ubuntun00b> Jack_Sparrow: tnx, i asked a question earlier, are you able to help?
[20:12] <thinh1977> what mode does ubuntu goes into when you leave it on for some time?
[20:12] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: didnt see it sorry
[20:12] <stefg> Leachy94: wikipedia has a wealth of info on that
[20:12] <ubuntun00b> Jack_Sparrow:: i would like to run an external monitor (samsung syncmaster 245b) and diable the one on my laptop... my video card, ati mobility radeon 9700, doesn't support the full resolution of this monitor (1920x1200), only 1600x1200...

[20:13] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: you can only go as high as the card will support, not how high the monitor will support
[20:13] <Leachy94> can linux open a dmg file
[20:13] <Jack_Sparrow> yes, there is a tool
[20:14] <bodo> people hi all i installed ubuntu 7.04 but these time was some thing strange when i tried to(do-release-upgrade) he told me that there were some repo not available what van i do?
[20:14] <threethirty> federico, all you should have to do is plug it in and set it up from skype, it should be in preferences somewhere, sorry i cant be too much of a help but I dont have skype
[20:14] <ubuntun00b> Jack_Sparrow: yes, i know.... i would like to run the resolution 1600x1200, which is the highest supported resolution on my video card
[20:15] <VSpike2> ubuntun00b: I think you just connect it and then use the System->Administration->Screens and Graphics tool
[20:15] <ubuntun00b> but i don't know how to actually do this... i have tried to use the "Screens and Graphics" tool, but it only seem to f*** it all up
[20:15] <nnoeonn> meta4ical: :) I hope it works for u ;)
[20:15] <exius> hambobo: the driver installation doesnt seem to like the path.  it needs the right kernel source... any clue where else?  i have tried /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-15 but dont work when "make config"ing
[20:16] <bodo> people hi all i installed ubuntu 7.04 but this time was some thing strange when i tried to(do-release-upgrade) he told me that there were some repo not available what can i do?
[20:16] <No_Smoke> hello

[20:16] <mkultrax> i used to be able to change resolutions in x with ctrl alt + and - to go between them
[20:16] <VSpike2> ubuntun00b: what is your graphics card?  If you are using the restricted nvidia driver then I think you need to use nvidia-settings tool instead
[20:16] <mkultrax> not anymore tho
[20:16] <No_Smoke> anyone can help me , how to share folder on windows network with samba?
[20:16] <ubuntun00b> VSpike: ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
[20:17] <ubuntun00b> Jack_Sparrow: no?

[20:19] <PederB> hellonull: indeed. things are getting a bit large :P
[20:19] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: You need to make a backup copy of your xorg.conf  it is where all you setup info is stored.
[20:19] <hellonull> that's what she said
[20:19] <PhysicX> Flare183, cheers m8;) forgot about it;)
[20:20] <PhysicX> hope it will help;)
[20:20] <hellonull> PederB: did you try adjusting font sizes, etc?
[20:20] <supremesonic> I need to start a copying files to a truecrypt drive, and I would like to know how to priority of that task, It is using lot of cpu power on transfering files.
[20:20] <desertc> bodo: Which repo ?

[20:20] <Guns-N-Roses> i want to triple boot my pc. i already have xp and vista. 1st question can ubuntu install on an external serial ata with silicon image controller. 2nd will the bootloader see all 3 OSes 3rd if i uninstall ubuntu will the vista loader be back?
[20:20] <ubuntun00b> Jack_Sparrow: yes, i have
[20:21] <PederB> hellonull: No, I have just installed 7.10 on the laptop, and it is not consistent. I've tried rebooting. Some times it is ok, but sometimes it goes wacko.. :P
[20:21] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: great...   and you know the name and location  in case you need to cp it back to xorg.conf
[20:21] <desertc> Guns-N-Roses: 1: It's possible. 2: Yes. 3: No.
[20:21] <bodo> desertc, can you wait me to know exactly which one?
[20:21] <ubuntun00b> Jack_Sparrow: yes, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:21] <desertc> bodo: If I'm not here, then someone else can help you.
[20:21] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: great, you are learning fast my friend
[20:21] <Guns-N-Roses> thanx desertc
[20:21] <desertc> bodo: It might be just the CDrom repo
[20:21] <PhysicX> is anything else Flare183 ? should do about it, after using a long time ubuntu;)

[20:22] <stefg> margaret: what happened ?
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: post your xorg to the pastebin please.. so you can see it
[20:22] <margaret> my xorg.conf did not work

[20:22] <PederB> hellonull: in the login window what I wrinte in the "name" and "password" fields is also way too large to be read :P
[20:22] <Guns-N-Roses> now about a live cd! does it keep any files on HD or everytime you boot with live cd you must configure it again (internet and so)
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: YEs, that is what I would try
[20:23] <desertc> Guns-N-Roses: no files on HD.  You can use a USB memory stick if you want to save files.
[20:23] <hellonull> PederB: wow. i really don't know what to tell you. never run into anything like that before. perhaps someone else will be able to help.
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: have you looked at your xorg?

[20:24] <Leachy94> lol coolio i just noticed wen i open and minimize mozilas download box it zooms in and out lol
[20:24] <DanaG> Odd: the update-manager console window is not resizable.
[20:24] <PMantis> skelter: Not an expert, but I'd look at /etc/X11 for an older version of the xogr.conf file... backup the new one and rename an old one as xorg.conf.
[20:24] <ubuntun00b> Jack_Sparrow: vaguely
[20:24] <DanaG> Or rather, you can make it bigger, but once you do, you can't make it smaller again.

[20:27] <margaret> oops
[20:27] <jesus> Why is it using this nick? Hrmm.
[20:27] <margaret> wait
[20:27] <margaret> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8300 GS (rev a1)
[20:27] <PMantis> ndiswrapper registers my nic as wlan0, but it's not wireless, can I force it to name my nic eth0 ?
[20:27] <margaret> says that now
[20:27] <brynk> jesus loves ubuntu!
[20:27] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: http://pastebin.com/m34d10dfb   like that?
[20:27] <stefg> margaret: so try again... you probably changed the driver from nvidia to nv? so change it back again to nvidia and try restarting the x server
[20:28] <arthur> thanks! ubuntu00b
[20:28] <exius> where's the fiesty fawn  kernel source directory, needed for make all / make install for wifi driver? thanks
[20:28] <margaret> stefg: no, I used nvidia
[20:28] <margaret> I'll try again
[20:28] <stefg> margaret: so how did you get back then here? using a different comp ?
[20:28] <margaret> same computer
[20:28] <Cpudan80> exius: You have to download the kernel source
[20:28] <margaret> just moved the backup file over the xorg.conf
[20:28] <MikeW> Hrmm.
[20:29] <exius> o?
[20:29] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: if you still have problems add sync rates but make sure they are within what both monitors will handle
[20:29] <Cpudan80> exius: sudo apt-get install kernel-source I think
[20:29] <Cpudan80> exius: might want kernel-headers too

[20:30] <exius> o i c Cpudan80
[20:30] <MikeW> I've had great success with Ubuntu!
[20:30] <z00m> need some help, is it possible to restore my windows MBR from ubuntu live CD or even install grub again on my C: drive because grub is not working anymore and im unable to boot into windows after removing the partition which had ubunut on it :(
[20:30] <margaret> stefg:  X.Org server modules that should be loaded  by default?│
[20:30] <margaret>  │ by default:
[20:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: Yes, that is where I would start, if that is a prob, set to vesa, locate sync rates and include them as we discussed
[20:30] <z00m> im getting grub error: 22
[20:30] <margaret> leave as is?
[20:30] <CapaH> hello wirechief
[20:30] <dgjones> !grub | z00m
[20:30] <ubotu> z00m: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[20:31] <MikeW> I want to build a high-end gaming system, though, and have been looking more at nVidia's nForce chipset, for SLI support. Also, Core 2 Duo.
[20:31] <stefg> margaret: just leave the defaults... but you don't need to reconfigure the server again
[20:31] <bodo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45727/ problem is here
[20:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: also.. to save the download of updates
[20:31] <MikeW> Anyone have insight in Ubuntu's nForce 680i / SLI / Core 2 Duo combinations?
[20:31] <z00m> thanks dgjones
[20:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: burn a copy of /var/cache/apt/archives to a cd then you will not need to download the updtaes again
[20:32] <MikeW> I'm an ATI user now, and have had bad experiences working with fglrx, which is why I've been looking more at nVidia solutions.
[20:32] <stefg> margaret: only restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace) or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[20:32] <CroX> Anyone here runs last.fm's client player?
[20:32]  * DanaG actually wishes his laptop had an ATI X1000 series card instead of the GeForce Go 7600.
[20:32] <margaret> stefg: ok, going to restart now
[20:32] <exius> shouldnt it normally be located in /usr/src/  filename linux-2.6.20 ? Cpudan80
[20:32] <CroX> Because I have reason to suspect that it is what is crashing my computer..
[20:32] <MikeW> DanaG: I don't think you really do:P
[20:32] <Cpudan80> exius: Dunno
[20:32] <ubuntun00b> Jack_Sparrow: so i don't need to add another device/screen section? will my laptop monitor be disabled?
[20:32] <DanaG> I'm sick and tired of NVIDIA driver issues, such as the full screen blinking.
[20:32] <bodo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45727/   my problem here
[20:32] <PoofDaddy> How do I find out how much disc space left in gutsy?
[20:32] <Cpudan80> exius: It's a symbolic link to somewhere else I think
[20:33] <desertc> MikeW: Really no reason to invest in a high-end video while the drivers lack the support for those features.  A NVIDIA 6600 GT card should do fine for an Ubuntu desktop.
[20:33] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: are you trying to run both?
[20:33] <thinh1977> how do i get computer go out of suspention on a remote computer anyone?
[20:33] <georgy_28> PoofDaddy, : df -h
[20:33] <ubuntun00b> Jack_Sparrow: no, only the external one
[20:33] <DanaG> Which would you rather have: Buggy but decent drivers now, with no idea of improvement,
[20:33] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: ok
[20:33] <Musashi> MasterShrek, hey :)
[20:33] <MikeW> desertc: Are there no well supported devices, then?:/
[20:33] <DanaG> or crappy drivers now, with hope of improvement due to the new open-sourced specs?
[20:33] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: you should still be able to boot the lappy screen
[20:33] <DanaG> I'd go with the latter.
[20:34] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: just not at the same time. at least on my lappys
[20:34] <MikeW> Interesting take, DanaG.
[20:34] <ubuntun00b> Jack_Sparrow: ok, that's fine
[20:34] <polm> Can I remove/disable a particular device? I've got a Jostick attachment on my keyboard that I would prefer not be installed as a device by my Ubuntu.
[20:34] <desertc> MikeW: It's a problem with the drivers being closed sourced.  AMD and Intel are both working on that solution, but only Intel has open 3D drivers.
[20:34] <MikeW> DanaG: My experience getting my X1600 working has been like getting teeth pulled... I finally got Compiz to *run*
[20:34] <ubuntun00b> Jack_Sparrow: i'll give it a go then, wish me luck :-)
[20:34] <MikeW> Slower than molassis in December, though....
[20:34] <Templer> DanaG your screen blinkin too?
[20:34] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntun00b: good luck, or your reconfigure
[20:34] <DanaG> And for Windows, I miss having ATI Tray Tools in Windows... rivatuner isn't quite the same.
[20:34] <Musashi> im about to install ubuntu dual boot on my new laptop, just wondering if i should go ahead with the new 7.10 or stick with 7.4...
[20:34] <MikeW> XGL runs slow as poop, too.
[20:35] <DanaG> Mine doesn't blink now, but it sometimes does.
[20:35] <desertc> MikeW: In the meanwhile, go with either NVIDIA for performance, unless you can get an Intel on-board solution.
[20:35] <thinh1977> does the computer wake up if i have respond to ping?
[20:35] <polm> I'm hoping for a permanent fix, rather than modifying the related /dev/js* device.
[20:35] <Templer> im using a Nividia driver also and it wrecked my monitor.
[20:35] <MikeW> desertc: Ah, interesting. So Intel well supports their onboard GPUs?
[20:35] <DanaG> Wrecked a monitor?  How?
[20:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Templer: is it an old crt
[20:36] <mirak> hi
[20:36] <bodo> Failed to fetch http://eg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[20:36] <polm> At the same time, I need to leave the joystick modules enabled for a pair of wireless gamepads I have connected via USB.
[20:36] <eghjaytee> is there a different ubuntu support channel other than this one?
[20:36] <desertc> MikeW: They have the best Linux supported solution at the moment with their GM965.
[20:36] <mirak> are there any online game actively played that are in ubuntu repositories ?
[20:36] <polm> Any suggestions?
[20:36] <skelter> hey all - ever since I upgraded to 7.10 the OS can't detect my monitor properly...have to do everything in "low graphics mode". in the monitor configuration control panel it gave me when i booted, i selected my monitor, clicked "test", and it looked fine - but now that i'm in gnome it's not working anymore...just 800x600. anyone know what i can do?
[20:36] <eghjaytee> is anyone in here using GFS in ubuntu?
[20:36] <Templer> yep but got another one that was in the house and the same is happening now
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> mirak: check out sauerbratten
[20:36] <eghjaytee> global file system that is
[20:36] <MikeW> desertc: Hrmm, thanks for your insight:)
[20:36] <mirak> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[20:37] <Musashi> hmm. i think ill stick with 7.4 then >_>
[20:37] <Jack_Sparrow> mirak: I dont know if it is in the repos though, but works fine in Ubuntu
[20:37] <MikeW> mirak: Check out Wine for Ubuntu. I use it to play Starcraft online. Also, most OpenGL games can work very nicely... NWN actually runs better on Ubuntu,
[20:38] <MikeW> Than it seemed to run on the same system running Windows XP, hehe.
[20:38] <desertc> MikeW: In the next year, AMD may roll out an impressive solution with their ATI cards, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it yet.
[20:38] <MikeW> Which is nice.
[20:38] <DanaG> Now I just need to find a laptop that'll have it.
[20:38] <Musashi> is there any place i can check to see if my model laptop is compatible with ubuntu?
[20:38]  * kane77 's fish has just died :(
[20:38] <DanaG> Oh yeah, here's my xorg.conf:  www.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/xorg.conf

[20:39] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[20:39] <dad> having a problem with installing unbuntu 7.10 - keep getting this error ==> Nautilus could not be used now due to an unexpected error of Bonobo
[20:39] <margaret> stefg: still no luck
[20:39] <MikeW> desertc: The 8.42.3 upgrade from 8.40.4 was a huge improvement for me, that's for sure.  I blame it all on v8.40.4.
[20:40] <srm> hi there, i'm looking for some info on how to get ndiswrapper working. The common question section points to "Using Windows Wireless Drivers" which says, i should install ndisgtk via Synaptics but there is no such package. I have a fresh install of 7.10 on an old laptop with wireless pcmcia.
[20:40] <DanaG> Oh, another lovely thing about NVIDIA: sometimes I get a hard lockup for 30 seconds or more.
[20:40] <MikeW> v8.42.3 solved all my problems, basically. HEHE
[20:40] <stefg> margaret: so what exactly happens? gdm tries to start, but bluescreens ?
[20:40] <MikeW> Interesting, DanaG.
[20:40] <margaret> tries to start 3 times, then I get a blue screen asking if I want to see the errors
[20:40] <desertc> MikeW: Many people don't consider Intel's cards valid, because they are embedded into the motherboard, but at least they have open 3D drivers.
[20:41] <DanaG> Oh, and bulletproof-X was bad for me: if nvidia kernel module was missing, I'd get Xorg STILL refusing to start, then GDM still showing the text-mode screen, and then once I fixed it, I found:
[20:41] <margaret> this time it said the configuration was not usable despite leaving all the defaults
[20:41] <DanaG> WTF?  What just happened?  I just got a random click somewhere!
[20:41] <stefg> margaret: so which error do you get ?
[20:41] <MikeW> desertc: Indeed. I don't underestimate them, I mean, with adaquate physical memory, mainboard-based GPUs could have great performance. You could only have 1, though.
[20:41] <srm> ah i see, ndisgtk is in universe.
[20:41] <MikeW> With SLI / CrossFire, you can multiply:)
[20:41] <margaret> something about hal dac or something totally indecipherable
[20:42] <MikeW> hehe, DanaG. Have you isolated the problems you're experiencing to the graphics drivers?
[20:42] <Musashi> darn its not listed there, but its a newer laptop... if it doesnt work i could just del the partition, ya?
[20:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Danawhat all you are describing is not normal and is sometimes found in systems where a user has gone outside our repos to get bleeding edge, then come hearcomplaining about blood loss
[20:42] <mwilliam13> is there anyone here willing to assist in a wireless network issue?
[20:42] <DanaG> What I mean by "I just got a random tap" is that it tramples on my xorg.conf and re-enables tapping.
[20:43] <georgy_28> !ask
[20:43] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[20:43] <DanaG> And all my other config options will be gone, too.
[20:43] <dad> Hi, can someone help with my install issue?  I'm trying to install from CD and I'm getting this error after selecting 'Start/Install Ubuntu' ==> Nautilus could not be used now due to an unexpected error of Bonobo
[20:43] <DanaG> I ended up just disabling bulletproof-X.
[20:43] <MikeW> Hrmm
[20:44] <stefg> margaret: look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and possibly paste the end of the file (where the error is) to !pastebin
[20:44] <MikeW> I run a very clean installation of Ubuntu, DanaG. I isolated my problems down to my ATI device drivers alone. It sounds like you may be affected by more than one issue, maybe?

[20:45] <mwilliam13> I have installed gutsy gibbion on a dell latitude d620.  I had a complete install working fine with fiesty fawn, including the wireless nic.  after some issues, i did a fresh install using wireless windows drivers (the inf files) just as I had before, but this time it is fubared.  I followed along an install from "frodob's" post on installing a broadcom 43xx wireless nic, but had issues after i edited my wconfig file.  now i have no
[20:45] <mwilliam13> access to view the nic.
[20:45] <MikeW> DanaG: I used different X servers as well as different versions of the same X servers. I tried the use of XGL instead of AIGLX,
[20:46] <desertc> dad: Sounds like you installed some extra packages on your systems causing your problems and errors.
[20:46] <MikeW> DanaG: As well as Indirect and Direct rendering toggling, with many many different versions of the fglrx (Proprietary ATI driver,) with the open source DRI drivers.
[20:46] <MikeW> DanaG: I mean, hehe, I CONFIRMED that ATI's drivers are LOADED with problems they wont even admit to.
[20:46] <dad> haven't installed anything yet...???
[20:46] <MikeW> HEHE!
[20:46] <MikeW> Anyways, I'll be back shortly.
[20:47] <Radi01> Snorz.
[20:47] <mwilliam13> gotta git...  i will check back later.
[20:48] <Jack_Sparrow> same here
[20:48] <PMantis> Weird! Got a new computer with SiS lan. ndiswrapper loads, wlan0 created for wired lan. I get ip, I can ping default gateway, other computers can ping this workstation, resolv.conf looks good (created by NM), but no DNS ?? Other computers work on this network.

[20:51] <PMantis> skelter: Did you look at the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[20:51] <thinh1977> when u leave the computer for some time does it automatic goes into sleep or hibernation?
[20:51] <skelter> PMantis, yes
[20:52] <tjo> I cannot get Banshee, Rhythmbox and Sound Juicer to play audio CDs in 7.10 (Gnome), only VLC is able to. Any advise much appreciated.
[20:52] <skelter> PMantis, tried using an old one, no dice
[20:52] <skelter> PMantis, also, i've run nvidea-xconfig (or whatever the actual program is with a similar name)
[20:52] <PMantis> skelter: after you used the old one, did you reoot?
[20:52] <PMantis> skelter: heh, I mean reboot
[20:52] <skelter> PMantis, yes
[20:53] <skelter> PMantis, I've installed the latest drivers too
[20:53] <PMantis> skelter: Did you try booting with a livecd?
[20:53] <Leachy94> is there a program to open .DMG files on linux
[20:53] <sko0zy> has anyone been able to use the ipwraw drivers to work with packet injection

[20:54] <toresn> hmm... did Jack Sparrow go?
[20:54] <PMantis> skelter: That's what I'd do... bot from live CD, then look at the xorg.conf it creates (assuming it displays properly)
[20:55] <skelter> oh, that's a pretty good idea
[20:55] <skelter> I'll give that a try
[20:55] <sko0zy> How can i tell if i installed a wireless driver correctly ?
[20:55] <margaret> stefg: I can't copy that whole fiel
[20:55] <spanella47> having problems with the notification-daemon, should it always be running?
[20:55] <margaret> stefg: my terminal window is too small
[20:56] <Leachy94> can linux open .ZIP
[20:56] <IdleOne> margaret: maximize it

[20:56] <kitche> Leachy94 yes
[20:56] <Leachy94> ok
[20:56] <Leachy94> ill redownload that 200mb file and try again
[20:56] <Leachy94> ill get the zip version
[20:56] <Leachy94> i want latest version of openarena

[20:58] <santor> does anyone here know how to make steam work with wine
[20:58] <Leachy94> steam the game program
[20:58] <Leachy94> ??
[20:58] <bjames> does anyone know why I get a blank screen when booting Ubuntu 7.10?
[20:58] <bjames> once x starts I can see the login screen
[20:59] <bjames> but not before
[20:59] <bjames> (i.e. I see BIOS, bit no boot info)
[20:59] <gusj> santor, installing it?
[20:59] <Lol> ll
[21:00] <santor> yes the game program
[21:00] <santor> i'
[21:00] <santor> i've installed it but it doesn't work right
[21:00] <Leachy94> i prefer non steam games
[21:00] <IdleOne> santor: wine filename.exe
[21:00] <santor> i have it installed
[21:00] <Leachy94> whats wine
[21:00] <gusj> you need to download the font for it to work
[21:00] <santor> but it doesn't run right
[21:00] <santor> how do i do that
[21:00] <bjames> WINE:  Wine Is Not an Emulator
[21:00] <spanella47> santor: could try wine-doors to install steam
[21:01] <Leachy94> !wine
[21:01] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[21:01] <santor> where od i get wine doors
[21:01] <bjames> it's a compatibilty layer that provides a Windows-like interface to programs
[21:01] <Leachy94> wine sound cool
[21:01] <spanella47> search for it
[21:01] <Leachy94> does it let you run .exe

[21:04] <PMantis> For some reason DNS is not working with ndiswrapper loaded lan. All pings work, resolv.conf looks good, other computers on same network ok. Ideas?

[21:05] <sethk> PMantis, you can ping the DNS server(s)?
[21:05] <margaret> this is totally insane

[21:06] <santor> hopefully that will work
[21:06] <sethk> PMantis, what does /etc/nsswitch.conf say on the line beginning with "hosts:"?

[21:07] <dallas> ok so when i start up ubuntu, the applications bar and the bar at the bottom of the screen only go 3/4 across the screen instead of all the way across. why is it doing that?
[21:07] <SnowCone> I can't get it to do any thing past that menu

[21:09] <ADemiG0D> how can i create a copy of my current ubuntu that is also a bootable image? (for external HD)
[21:09] <dallas> ?
[21:09] <ADemiG0D> or rather what can i use to copy my current Ubuntu setup into a bootable image that can be ran from an external HDD
[21:09] <margaret> stefg: http://pastebin.com/m3fbf9382
[21:09] <dallas> anyone know?
[21:10] <PMantis> sethk:  Hmmmmm not yet, but I can't find nscd to restart
[21:10] <ADemiG0D> all i need is an application name that can do it, i'll figure out the rest
[21:10] <santor> after i log into steam it all stops working!
[21:10] <PMantis> sethk: Don't take long to reboot....
[21:10] <ADemiG0D> what can i use to copy my current Ubuntu setup into a bootable image that can be ran from an external HDD
[21:10] <stefg> margaret: you need the very latest driver for your card, it seems.... theses arn't un 7.04, so you have to manually install the nvidia-package
[21:10] <dallas> ok so when i start up ubuntu, the applications bar and the bar at the bottom of the screen only go 3/4 across the screen instead of all the way across. why is it doing that?
[21:10] <sp3000> are launchpad bug statuses documented somewhere?
[21:11]  * sp3000 tries to figure out is 'incomplete' should be reset to 'new' on adding requested information
[21:11] <stefg> margaret: so min version is 100.14.03
[21:11] <sko0zy> Who has been able to get the drivers for the wusb54g from http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/ to work
[21:11] <Leachy94> would wine run a game called warrock thats a EXE
[21:11] <Leachy94> windows only
[21:11] <Musashi> the requirements for a ubuntu installation are a '/' and a '/home' ?
[21:11] <sp3000> but unlike $competing_tracker, launchpad doesn't link status to its documentation
[21:11] <pike_> margaret: as a temp solution you can use the nv driver to at least get 2d graphics up
[21:11] <stefg> margaret: and your xorg.conf says nv not nvidia
[21:12] <pike_> well nm then
[21:12] <dallas> ok so when i start up ubuntu, the applications bar and the bar at the bottom of the screen only go 3/4 across the screen instead of all the way across. why is it doing that?
[21:12] <ADemiG0D> is there anything i can use to make a bootable image of my system as it is now?
[21:12] <zimon> how do i set gcc-4.2 as my default instead of gcc-4.1? update-alternatives --config cc says there's only one candidate (/usr/bin/gcc) ... should i just recreate the /usr/bin/gcc symlink?
[21:13] <sethk> ADemiG0D, you can image the drive, or image one or more partitions.
[21:13] <ridge-meister> i installed a bunch of gdesklets last night, could that be what is slowing down my system?  anytime i open up a new app (whether it's kate or xchat) it seems to take forever
[21:13] <void^> Leachy94: according to wine's appdb it does not run thanks to something called punkbuster.
[21:13] <sethk> ADemiG0D, if you image partitions, you also have to image the boot sector
[21:13] <dad> Can someone help with a new install of 7.10?  I keep getting this message...  "Nautilus could not be used now due to an unexpected error of Bonobo"

[21:15]  * sp3000 finds something that refers to "incomplete (with response)" and that such bugs shouldn't auto-transition to bad places, which seems to imply that manual manipulation isn't needed
[21:15] <dad> i see, it's looking at my current linux partition then and that's why the error occurs?

[21:17] <sp3000> dallas: if you mean it's centered and not expanded, that's a per-panel setting (right click on blank part of panel, etc)
[21:18] <dallas> no, it goes from the left of the screen 3/4 across and then stops
[21:18] <Dr_willis> Burlynn,  sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart     also. :)

[21:21] <santor> steam performance is attrocious, i dont' have any games downloaded yet but it is really laggy and i have to click things like 5 times and wait a while for stuff to happen
[21:21] <PMantis> sethk: Here's the weird thing... if I plug in a USB NIC, it works.
[21:21] <santor> any fix for taht
[21:21] <dad> i don't want to use Suse, wanting to switch to Ubuntu
[21:21] <sp3000> Stormx2: I'd start at apt-cache search network top | grep -i network | grep -i top
[21:21] <sethk> PMantis, that is odd.  AP issue with routing, perhaps?
[21:21] <dallas> can you not just delete your suse partition, keep xp and then install ubuntu?
[21:21] <dallas> dad^
[21:21]  * sp3000 should pick one, that need arises occasionally
[21:21] <PMantis> sethk: AP ? This is wired lan
[21:22] <sethk> PMantis, oh, I thought you had said earlier about ndiswrapper
[21:22] <ryan__> anyone think they can help me with a mic problem pm me
[21:22] <sethk> PMantis, usb works, what doesn't work?
[21:22] <dad> dallas: i could, but i do want to keep my home partition if possible
[21:22] <dallas> oh ok i see
[21:22] <desertc> dallas: He's trying to install it on top of the other one.
[21:23] <dallas> ok
[21:23] <dad> desertc: correct

[21:23] <srm> hi, i have installed 7.10 and now want to get my pcmcia wireless card working. I have installed the 2 ndiswrapper packages and downloaded the windows drivers. Then I used 'ndiswrapper -i ...' to load the XP driver and 'ndiswrapper -l' now returns 'driver installed' but not 'hardware present' . What could be the problem? Are there any other prerequisites i could have missed to get my pcmcia card working?
[21:23] <dallas> exactly
[21:23] <el> is there a good newsreader in ubuntu that supports nzb files?
[21:23] <ryan__> xp drivers are never good
[21:23] <IdleOne> dad: backup your /home install ubuntu on the suse partition the copy your /home onto the ubuntu /home and there ya go. about the bonobo error ps aux find any process with bonobo in it and kill PID will start auto
[21:24] <ryan__> use win2k drivers instead
[21:24] <ryan__> that was my problem
[21:24] <ryan__> what is your card model?
[21:24] <Noble> this isn't ubuntu specific, but why does my tv out look better under vesa 640x480 than it does using nvidia 640x480?
[21:24] <PMantis> sethk: Yes, it's an SiS Gigabit ethernet adapter, that needs ndiswrapper... it gets an IP immediately, I can ping gateway, I can ping IPs on the internet other PC can ping it, but I cannot SSH in or out of this box.
[21:24] <sethk> PMantis, but with the USB adapter you can ssh in?
[21:24] <srm> ryan__: the card is based on Marvell 88w8335 (Libertas)
[21:24] <dad> thanks all!
[21:24] <srm> will try the 2k drivers
[21:24] <DeltaUK> hey guys, i just accidently ran an exe on the ubuntu cd called wubi-cdboot.exe and it installed sumthing and is askin me to restart, what is it??!
[21:25] <ryan__> srm: where did you get the drivers?
[21:25] <PMantis> sethk: I can also telnet out to an IP.
[21:25] <ferronica> On Ups Power, I check off Enable Ups Discharge Alarm then I hit close.. when I reopen that same menu the option is not checked.. what's going on? I have restarted the apc service a couple of times.. but it's still unchecked whenever I look at it
[21:25] <Dr_willis> wubi is on the  offical ubuntu cd?
[21:25] <PMantis> sethk: lemme try USB again with SSH
[21:25] <DeltaUK> well i just installed it :S:S
[21:26] <DeltaUK> by accident, went well quick.. in windows xp
[21:26] <pike_> wubi is a win32 app right? you ran it from windows?
[21:26] <thinh> anyone know what the problem when i am on the outside of my network i cant ssh into my machine when it is in hibernation mode but when i am on the network i can ssh into my machine
[21:27] <PMantis> sethk: Works perfectly with USB networking
[21:27] <DeltaUK> i just installed it from the cd, and wanted to know what it was
[21:27] <PMantis> sethk: SSH, DNS, etc
[21:27] <srm> ryan__: i got them from the card vendors site
[21:27] <Noble> where should I go for X11 tv out support?
[21:27] <sethk> PMantis, Check the default route in the case where it doesn't work.
[21:27] <PMantis> sethk: I've use route -n  looks good
[21:28] <thinh> its seems like the listing service is not running on internet traffic but it respond on lan traffic because it is connected to each other
[21:28] <ryan__> srm: have you followed a tutorial or just installed it with ndiswrapper? what distro are you running?
[21:28] <pike_> what the heck is wubi like a qemu thing or does it actually partition and install?
[21:28] <DeltaUK> what is wubi?
[21:28] <santor> is anyone here running steam on wine?
[21:28] <PMantis> sethk: cat /etc/resolv.conf shows my domain and dns server (with blank line and comments from network manager)
[21:28] <ryan__> lol. steam engine on wine?
[21:28] <Dr_willis> wubi i THOUGHT was the 'install ubuntu under windows' thing.. but i did NOT thinkit was on the default ubuntu cd's
[21:28] <ryan__> man that would be insane.
[21:28] <thinh> while internet traffic goes to the router first before it actually goes to server machine
[21:28] <Dr_willis> !wubi
[21:28] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[21:28] <srm> ryan__: i tried to follow the help.ubuntu files for wireless network. I'm using a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10
[21:28] <santor> steam games
[21:28] <sethk> PMantis, if the route is correct, resolv.conf has to be correct.
[21:28] <DeltaUK> well it is on the cd
[21:28] <santor> steam the game platform
[21:29] <DeltaUK> its askin me to restart, but im geussin it wont install anything ?
[21:29] <santor> unless your into pirating or are on slow internet it is the best dam thing to come ot computer gaming
[21:29] <santor> but it doesn't seem to work well with wine
[21:29] <ryan__> srm: are you getting my pms?
[21:29] <thinh> when my server is active it is listen to internet traffic but when it is in suspend mode it only listen to lan traffic anyone know a explaining to fix to it?
[21:30] <srm> ryan__: I tried with ndisgtk but it didn't work and there was no feedback, so i went to cli.
[21:30] <PMantis> sethk: I thought the config for routing was different than DNS
[21:30] <pike_> DeltaUK: so im assuming looking at that that wubi creates a single file on windows and formats it ext3 or whatever, add an entry to windows boot and lets you boot into that file as you would an actual partition
[21:30] <Dr_willis> Now if ONLY steam would actually have a Decent (ie lower) price on their games you can buy....
[21:30] <srm> ryan__: no, seems i don't receive them
[21:30] <sethk> PMantis, yes, it is, I misspoke
[21:30] <ryan__> srm:  you have msn or yahoo?
[21:30] <PMantis> sethk: heh ok
[21:30] <sethk> PMantis, do you have traceroute installed?
[21:30] <Dr_willis> I found BioShock on sale for $25 yesterday. :)
[21:30] <pike_> DeltaUK: should be perfectly ok if you dont like it just delete the wubi folder in windows or run the uninstall
[21:30] <srm> ryan__: jabber
[21:30] <DeltaUK> k
[21:31] <DeltaUK> ty
[21:31] <santor> wow, thats a good deal
[21:31] <santor> you could buy it and activate it over steam
[21:31] <PMantis> sethk: This seems to be DNS only, but I'll try traceroute
[21:31] <santor> usually the price is really good on steam
[21:31] <sethk> PMantis, try the traceroute to the dns server
[21:31] <ryan__> srm: whats your jabber address?
[21:31] <sethk> PMantis, if the dns specs are correct, maybe it can't figure out how to get to the dns server.
[21:31] <santor> but steam really throws a monkeywrench in pirating games
[21:31] <srm> ryan__<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[21:31] <sethk> PMantis, unlikely, but I can't think of anything else at the moment.
[21:32] <PMantis> sethk: :-
[21:32] <ryan__> srm: ok well I don't have jabber, and it doesn't appear that you are getting my pms....but I got yours.
[21:32] <Dr_willis> santor,  im mixxed on it.:) its noce to buy a game.. and not have to need the cd.. but given the size of some games... egads the download times.
[21:32] <PMantis> sethk: DNS, default gw, and this machine on same subnet
[21:32] <srm> ryan__: ok, then let me fire up another irc client. This is irssi on OSX speaking ;)
[21:32] <srm> brb
[21:32] <sethk> PMantis, well, so much for that theory.  :)
[21:32] <ryan__> srm: join #linuxreality and we can talk over there, it's pretty desolate, but it is quiet and i can give you instructions there
[21:33] <PMantis> sethk: heh
[21:33] <santor> yea i kno, they hardly get over 600k, and i'm on verizon fios, when i downloaded ubuntu my dl speed hit 2 mbps
[21:33] <santor> that is of course iwht bt
[21:33] <PMantis> sethk:  This has me stumped... really weird
[21:33] <santor> bit torrent
[21:34] <ryan__> srm: join #linuxreality
[21:34] <santor> steam should provide as much bandwidth for downloads and you can take, since they are charging for the games
[21:34] <Noble> where can i get nvidia tv out support?
[21:34] <santor> but thats irrelivent to making steam work well in wine
[21:35] <Dr_willis> Noble,  install the nvidia drivers for a start.
[21:35] <PMantis> sethk: Uhm... traceroute is displaying all "* * *" for 16 lines so far....
[21:35] <santor> i have found that the clicking is off, i have to click below any item in steam to actually click it
[21:35] <santor> any ideas?
[21:35] <erat123> has anyone set up xming to work between windows and ubuntu?  i would like some help on the ubuntu side.
[21:35] <PMantis> sethk: 22
[21:35] <Dr_willis> erat123,  i am using that right now. :)
[21:35] <sethk> PMantis, that's odd, if you are doing a traceroute to something on the local lan, it should show only two lines and no ***
[21:35] <Dr_willis> erat123,  enable ssh, enable x forwarding by default in the ssh configs.. lets see.. you going to use xdmcp?
[21:36] <pike_> !tvout | Noble
[21:36] <ubotu> Noble: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*)
[21:36] <Noble> dr_willis... i have the nvidia drivers installed... for some reason they didn't load at my last bootup though and I was shocked how nice the image looks
[21:36] <erat123> Dr_willis: yep, i'm trying to use xdmcp
[21:36] <PMantis> sethk: yet a ping to the gw/dns server is giving me .283 ms responses
[21:36] <meoblast001> hello, im setting up ubuntu on my dad's computer and i need to get internet connection for it.... he has a Motorola WPCI810G wireless card..... im supposed to copy the files bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys from the windows partition but windows cannot find the files, where might i be able to obtain these files on the internet.... or just a complete linux driver?
[21:36] <erat123> Dr_willis: how do i enable x forwarding by default?
[21:36] <erat123> Dr_willis: i have ssh installed
[21:36] <Noble> pike... i can get tv out to work... i just find the nvidia output to actually look worse than the tv out put when i'm using vesa drivers
[21:36] <pcdog> moin... :)
[21:37] <PMantis> sethk: When on the USB lan, traceroute only showed one line.
[21:37] <Dr_willis> erat123,  in the sshd config in /etc/ somewhere. :)
[21:37] <sethk> PMantis, well, then we may have a routing issue after all.
[21:37] <erat123> Dr_willis: ah, thanks.  that points me in the right direction
[21:37] <Dr_willis> erat123,  in the sshd config in /etc/ somewhere. :) /etc/ssh/sshd_config"
[21:37] <cdemwel1> Hi there
[21:37] <Aiyizo> how do you copy a file from one folder to another with admin permissions?
[21:37] <pike_> meoblast001: if you are using ndiswrapper you may grab those files from the manufacturers website (the windows driver)
[21:37] <PMantis> sethk: I ran it with the -n switch so it would not resolve ips
[21:38] <margaret> stefg: manually install the nvidia package?
[21:38] <Dr_willis> erat123,  X11Forwarding yes
[21:38] <sethk> PMantis, and ?
[21:38] <cdemwel1> I'm trying to update-initramfs -u but it's not copying the firmware that I need for my wireless card with it
[21:38] <pike_> margaret: http://pastebin.com/m60517e04
[21:38] <ryan__> Aiyizo: sudo cp /file/file /file/file
[21:38] <erat123> Dr_willis: oh cool, that's set to yes
[21:38] <PMantis> sethk: That's when it gave me the 22 lies of stars
[21:38] <cdemwel1> where and how does this get configured?
[21:38] <margaret> pike, ok, will try that
[21:39] <PMantis> sethk: Hmmmmmmm routing issue if I can telnet to a BBS on the internet by IP ?
[21:39] <sethk> PMantis, the -n switch makes it change the route?  Without the -n switch might make sense.
[21:39] <Dr_willis> erat123,  with xming, i also  recall using  the xming version of putty (i think) been a while since ive installed it.
[21:39] <sethk> PMantis, well, I still don't understand it, but at least we have a utility giving us a strange result
[21:39] <sx66xfce8525> hi
[21:39] <meoblast001> pike_: doesnt the manufacturer use .exe files?
[21:39] <sethk> PMantis, it's a clue, even though at the moment I'm clueless about what the clue means.
[21:39] <rambo3> cdemwel1 firmware in initram ? you mean scipt that starts your wireless
[21:39] <cdemwel1> no.
[21:39] <cdemwel1> I mean firmware.
[21:40] <emily_> i have an samba mount but in gnome it keeps losing connection to it...it works in a terminal, but file browser says "the folder contents could not be displayed". It will work for awhile and then just drop to that.  This is happening randomly with both my ubuntu boxes...anyone know a fix?
[21:40] <CroX> Gnome keeps crashing for me for no apparent reason. I close a window, hover a tray icon, alt tabs to another window, etc.
[21:40] <PMantis> sethk: The traceroute manpage shows that -n tells it not to resolve the IPs of each hop.
[21:40] <CroX> Could anyone please help me find what's causing this?
[21:40] <sethk> PMantis, exactly, so that turns _off_ DNS activity.  I'm trying to see how that can break something.
[21:40] <cdemwel1> That is, /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/ipw3945.ucode
[21:40] <erat123> Dr_willis: i'm looking for the xming version of putty now.  i've just been using xming and putty as separate apps.  is there one that's together?
[21:40] <bjwebb> hi
[21:41] <sp3000> Stormx2: yeah, iftop jnettop pktstat looks useful -- and lsof -i of course for mapping to processes
[21:41] <bjwebb> ive screwed up apt (with KDE4 stuff)
[21:41] <Dr_willis> erat123,  i belive at the xming download page. they have a specific one. not sure how its tweaked for them.
[21:41] <polla> !frostwire
[21:41] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[21:41] <Stormx2> sp3000: i used pktstat :)
[21:41] <bjwebb> how do i get it to foreably fix, removing packages?
[21:41] <erat123> Dr_willis: oh cool, found it
[21:41] <pcdog> hey - anyone here uses DRBD? have a bit of a problem here which would be a one-liner to solve, I'm sure
[21:41] <PMantis> sethk: there's one other weird thing... ndiswrapper has this NIC loaded as wlan0... I SWEAR it's wired! I'm looking at the cat5 cable! :)
[21:41] <Aiyizo> thanks ryan__
[21:42] <sethk> PMantis, I've never heard of using ndiswrapper with a wired connection, but I suppose it's possibly necessary.
[21:42] <meoblast001> pike_: the manufacturer no longer has drivers for that device
[21:42] <linux88> PMantis cant you change the interface name from wlan0 to something else?
[21:42] <bjwebb> can someone help?
[21:43] <BotoXxX> wie komm ich in den Deutsche Ubuntu chat ?
[21:43] <PMantis> sethk: There was a wiki page on it. As far as changing the name, I'd love to... ideas?  I've looked at /etc/network/* ndiswrapper configs...
[21:43] <bjwebb> !ubuntu-de
[21:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-de - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:43] <pike_> meoblast001: well thats not ideal..
[21:43] <bjames> is ndiswrapper known to be unstable in Ubuntu 7.10?
[21:43] <margaret> pike, at step 4, it says I have to shutdown the X server
[21:43] <BotoXxX> !ubuntu-de
[21:43] <bjwebb> !de | BotoXxX
[21:43] <ubotu> BotoXxX: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[21:43] <sethk> PMantis, generally you use ndiswrapper because a driver specific to your hardware is unavailable.  Is that the case here?
[21:43] <Dr_willis> erat123,  they got a channel it seems #xming also here. :)
[21:44] <BotoXxX> thanks
[21:44] <pike_> margaret: yeah but i dont think you need to do that you already dont have x working
[21:44] <linux88> bjames its working perfectly for me
[21:44] <erat123> Dr_willis: oh cool.  thanks for all your help!
[21:44] <margaret> pike_: aren't I running X now?
[21:44] <pike_> margaret: you're in X? i thought you were at command line
[21:44] <CaBa\> does anyone have a clue why my display brightness (laptop) is reduced to minimum when i start video playback in vlc since gutsy?
[21:45] <sp3000> so I have this window placement issue now after upgrade to gutsy, if there's no empty or an app-persisted position, all windows appear at top left :( i.e. the cascade is being broken
[21:45] <margaret> pike_: no, I'm running 1024x768
[21:45] <bjames> linux88: I got it working fine on 6.06, then upgraded and it's very buggy (locks the whole laptop).  I tried installing 7.10, but it's still locking
[21:45] <bjwebb> how do i get it to foreably fix apt, removing packages?
[21:45] <margaret> restored old xorg.conf
[21:45] <pike_> margaret: in any case sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop wont hurt anything just make sure you copy down the steps first since youll lose gui
[21:45] <sp3000> (metacity, no, effects fanciness)
[21:45] <PMantis> sethk: Ubuntu live CD doesn't recognize it, after install, no dice... google search talked about ndiswrapper for the SiS 191
[21:45] <sp3000> s/no,/no/
[21:45] <pike_> margaret: the sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to start back up
[21:46] <margaret> I got steps 1-3 done
[21:46] <margaret> now I have to get a pen
[21:46] <margaret> this is nuts
[21:46] <sp3000> I tested thata it does happen with a fresh new user as well so it's not crufty user settings either
[21:46] <meoblast001> pike_: the driver is an executable file.... should i run it then find the files?
[21:46] <randomoutburst> can someone look at this screen shot and tell me how to fix my desktop? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/dbass1337/Screenshot.png
[21:46] <pike_> meoblast001: yeah easiest maybe just to run it in windows then do a search for the files
[21:47] <pike_> randomoutburst: alt-ctrl-backspace? ;-p
[21:47] <Mark761966> I can't get Simdock or AWN to display :(
[21:47] <ryan__> randomoutburst: that is Ksnapshot
[21:47] <ryan__> Mark761966: you have to have a 3d engine like beryl installed to use awn
[21:47] <Mark761966> I do
[21:47] <sethk> PMantis, ok, I guess you are stuck with it.  I don't know enough about ndiswrapper to know how to tell it that this is a wired connection.  When ndiswrapper is running, is wlan0 the device for the default route?
[21:48] <PMantis> sethk: There is an SIS190.ko, so I'll add that to /etc/modules, and reboot to see.
[21:48] <meoblast001> pike_: k i did.. and miraculously the files are there
[21:48] <linux88> bjames wow, sorry to hear. Ya this is my first time with it, so im not that familiar with it. I wonder why it locks
[21:48] <Mark761966> It displayed for about a minute and then it disappeared
[21:48] <krimx> My harddrive sounds like those tubes at the edges of houses when it's raining, I can't remember it sounding like that before but after 11 days of nonstop uploading at 10Mbit/s it's started. Think it's dying?
[21:48] <ryan__> Mark761966: do you have beryl or compiz installed, and your graphics card cofigured properly?
[21:48] <snikker> someone know how to configure horde? i've installed it, but i can't login...
[21:48] <PMantis> sethk: Yes, it sets up wlan0 in routes... ifconfig -a shows only lo and wlan0
[21:48] <Mark761966> Yeah
[21:48] <bjames> I've also got another problem - the screen is blank between BIOS and x
[21:48] <ferronica> On Ups Power, I check off Enable Ups Discharge Alarm then I hit close.. when I reopen that same menu the option is not checked.. what's going on? I have restarted the apc service a couple of times.. but it's still unchecked whenever I look at it
[21:49] <bjames> i.e. the boot sequence is not cisible
[21:49] <Mark761966> I'm sure I have the graphics card configured properly
[21:49] <ryan__> Mark761966: how did you install awn, through repos or compile from source?
[21:49] <Mark761966> Source
[21:49] <randomoutburst> yeah alt ctr backspace didnt do the trick....
[21:49] <Mark761966> It's not in the repos
[21:49] <meoblast001> pike_: also i cant get ndiswrapper because his wireless card is not working yet... should i download the .deb to his windows partition while im on it?
[21:49] <ryan__> Mark761966: I had the same problem.
[21:49] <Mark761966> How did you solve it Ryan?
[21:49] <meoblast001> pike_: if so... whats the URL to the Canonical repository
[21:49] <PMantis> sethk: Hmmm
[21:49] <ryan__> Mark761966: Install it from the repos, after you uninstall it.
[21:49] <Mark761966> Okay
[21:50] <ryan__> Mark761966: Yeah it annoyed me to death. I finally buckled and found a repo online.
[21:50] <pike_> meoblast001: yeah  packages.ubuntu.com and search for it it will also have dependancy packages if there are any
[21:50] <ryan__> Mark761966: I can go fetch it for ya if you want.
[21:50] <pike_> meoblast001: it may be on the cd though not sure
[21:50] <cdemwel1> well thanks
[21:50] <randomoutburst> i think its set for 1024x768 but my desktop resolution 1280x800
[21:50] <Mark761966> Yes please Ryan
[21:50] <Mark761966> 64bit?
[21:51] <sp3000> bjames: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon/ReleaseNotes at bottom mentions one such thing
[21:51] <meoblast001> pike_: yay.... i remember when i did this dependency searching stuff back on my Fedora Server
[21:51] <ryan__> Mark761966: Not sure about 64bit. I am using 32 here.
[21:51] <meoblast001> thats always fun
[21:51] <randomoutburst> so can someone tell me how to change my settings so i can use all of my screen? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/dbass1337/Screenshot.png
[21:51] <PMantis> sethk: I loaded sis190.ko, and it fails the probe... I checked the ID with lspci, and it's looking at the right device... so I dunno.
[21:51]  * sp3000 /actually read/ relnotes /before upgrade/, can you believe that
[21:52] <pike_> meoblast001: i dont think it will be bad
[21:52] <sethk> PMantis, fails with what message?
[21:52] <Xess> hello.
[21:52] <PMantis> sethk: in dmesg:  sis190: probe of 000:00:04.0 failed with error -5
[21:52] <ryan__> Mark761966:  ok I found a repo
[21:52] <adamorjames> hello
[21:52] <ryan__> for 64bit and 32bit
[21:52] <randomoutburst> anyone know of anything i can try?
[21:53] <sethk> PMantis, and that PCI designation is what shows up in lspci?
[21:53] <PMantis> sethk: I wonder if this module accepts parameters.
[21:53] <PMantis> sethk:  yes
[21:53] <Mark761966> I know what the problem is now, Ryan
[21:53] <ryan__> Mark761966: whats the problem?
[21:53] <sethk> PMantis, might accept parameters.  only way to know is to find some docs or read the source code.
[21:53] <PMantis> sethk: Well, a shorter version shows in lspci
[21:53] <Mark761966> It only seems to show up if I have the windows manager set to transparency
[21:53] <sethk> randomoutburst, set your virtual resolution to be the same as your physical resolution.
[21:54] <randomoutburst> and how do i do that?
[21:54] <meoblast001> pike_: is modprobe preinstalled into ubuntu?
[21:54] <sethk> PMantis, right, but the 04.0 is correct
[21:54] <PMantis> sethk: lspci:  00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon...
[21:54] <meoblast001> havent used it in forever so i dont know
[21:54] <ryan__> Mark761966: odd
[21:54] <sethk> randomoutburst, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:54] <Mark761966> Very
[21:54] <sethk> PMantis, close enough  :)
[21:54] <yaser> where can i get help on configuring my nvidia graphic card?
[21:54] <PMantis> sethk:  right
[21:54] <Mark761966> Maybe if I install the 64bit version it'll work better
[21:55] <PMantis> sethk: On another note, at least my new Acer 22" widescreen LCD is great!
[21:55] <pike_> meoblast001: yes
[21:55] <meoblast001> pike_: i cant find the package at packages.ubuntu.com
[21:55] <Mark761966> You wanna give me those repos, Ryan?
[21:55] <riaal> whats it called when you do system("lsmod") from a C program?
[21:55] <meoblast001> pike_: i ran a search on the package and found it
[21:55] <jmauler> Im trying to do an alternative instalation of jdk1.6, and I would like to know how I can make my export configs like export PATH be availabe for the entire system instead of for just my current shell, Can anyone help me ?
[21:56] <adamorjames> gtk-recordMyDesktop doesn't record the sound. I have the check box marked. I opened gstreamer-properties and it says I am using alsasink hw:0.0 for the output. So I went in gtk-recordMyDesktop's advanced settings and I changed the sound to hw:0,0. Still nothing... anyone can help?
[21:56] <pike_> meoblast001: yeah i think all you need is ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils maybe but i have zero exp using it
[21:56] <PMantis> sethk: I'll use the other NIC and install all the updates, to see
[21:56] <steve__> any video teleconferencing users out there that have got openmcu running with ekiga?
[21:56] <meoblast001> pike_: is ubuntu preinstalled with perl?
[21:56] <meoblast001> and libc6?
[21:56] <pike_> yes
[21:56] <meoblast001> k
[21:56] <desertc> adamorjames: Did you check in alsamixer for muted channels of 0% ?
[21:56] <kitche> well considering that libc6 is needed to even run ubuntu meoblast001
[21:56] <Xess> I am new to ubuntu and have run in to a dead end with trying to get my wirless to work. I was hoping that some one might be able to help.
[21:56] <Xess> When I installed Ubuntu it say both my wifi cards and added them to the networking dialog box. the thing of it is that they don't see any networks.
[21:56] <Xess> Any Ideas?
[21:57] <Seeker`> how do you get the snow plugin for compiz?
[21:57] <adamorjames> desertc: my sound works. I played some music.

[21:57] <ubotu> Xess: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[21:57] <margaret> pike_: done, with success so far
[21:57] <meoblast001> pike_: is that all i need before i switch over to not having network connection?
[21:57] <desertc> adamorjames: I mean for your mic channel
[21:57] <margaret> now what? try to reconfigure xorg again?
[21:57] <meoblast001> ill still be here but that system will have no connection
[21:58] <pike_> margaret: cool good luck
[21:58] <PMantis> sethk: This little Acre PC was a Circuit City doorbuster for black friday. $229 A.R... All the other SiS chips are working... sound, video, SATA, USB, Card Reader slots... only the NIC is an issue.
[21:58] <pike_> meoblast001: i believe so
[21:58] <zeroflag> sometimes (30-50% chance to happen...) when I stop playback in a media player or some sound finished playing I get rather loud white noise on the sound channel. this noise can only be stopped by a) playing another sound and hoping it goes into the other 50% or b) by playing a sound in a media player and instead of stopping the track, just pausing it. any suggestions on how to fix that? currently using HD onboard sound on a nforce630a board (gigab
[21:58] <margaret> pike_: do I try to reconfigure xorg again?
[21:58] <meoblast001> pike_: ok
[21:58] <pike_> margaret: yeah but first just try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart  the better res's might be setup by the nvidia installer
[21:58] <pike_> already
[21:59] <margaret> pike_: ok
[21:59] <PMantis> sethk: Oh, and thanks for all your help so far!! It's easy to get ignored in this channel.
[21:59] <pike_> margaret: hopefully you get a nice nvidia logo at start
