[06:03] <sethk> mtholdenss, it isn't difficult but the build takes quite a while.
[06:03] <eyequeue> nailbags, think og the dpkg commands as a back door means of getting the two machines set to ask for the same things :)
[06:03] <mtholdenss> seth k i dont know how to get the kernal source and change the config a bit and build the kernal...
[06:04] <eyequeue> nailbags, and you know what scp is, right?
[06:04] <sethk> w30, that's backwards.  his problem isn't fixed, he isn't worried about reverting, he still needs to find a solution
[06:04] <nailbags> eyequeue: yeah i got it now, sweet
[06:04] <Frederick> folks Ive installed imagemagick from source in ubuntu but when try to compile this sample http://www.imagemagick.org/script/magick-wand.php nothing seems to link, but if I replace it all for -lMagick++ it links but when I try to execute the program it reports rror while loading shared libraries: libMagick++.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory any ideas?
[06:04] <nailbags> eyequeue: yeah i'm not a linux n00b, just a debian n00b
[06:04] <link_36p> Worst apt-get nightmare ever.... http://pastebin.ca/165749          >> can anyone help? :'(
[06:04] <eyequeue> nailbags, cool
[06:04] <sethk> Frederick, you can do one of several things.  update the shared library cache
[06:04] <nailbags> eyequeue: although i build my own .deb last night!
[06:04] <nailbags> *built
[06:04] <sethk> Frederick, add a path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the library, or
[06:04] <sethk> Frederick, add symbolic links to the library in /usr/lib
[06:05] <eyequeue> nailbags, congrats, that's a decent step to be taking, heh
[06:05] <sethk> Frederick, I'd try the third, which is very quick, and we'll see if that's the only problem or just the first
[06:05] <w30> sethk, I missed that, I thought he had to wait 30 minuts to find out, my mistake, sorry.
[06:05] <Frederick> dammm
[06:05] <Frederick> I didnt knew oki
[06:05] <Frederick> 1 sec
[06:05] <kameron> do you guys know any bible software for systems that don't run KDE?
[06:05] <sethk> w30, yes, that's right, and he said he just crossed 30 minutes.
[06:05] <lostinc> I installed the w32codecs package and still cant play any wmvs with VLC anyone have any idea why
[06:05] <sethk> w30, I think you just missed one message.
[06:05] <w30> sethk, bifocals :=)
[06:06] <fiendskull9> sethk, brb, dont send me anything, or ill miss it :P
[06:06] <mtholdenss> w30 and sethk it doesnt occur in 30 minutes it occurs within 5 or so minutes into the screensaver,,,
[06:06] <sethk> mtholdenss, where did 30 minutes come from , then?
[06:06] <bjron> hmm, so accor
[06:06] <sethk> mtholdenss, or am I just confused about the number?
[06:06] <eyequeue> kameron, it seems to be mostly kde, but try this command perhaps: apt-cache search bible | less
[06:06] <bjron> hmm, so according to keyboard shortcuts, print screen should take a screenshot, but as far as I can tell, nothig happens
[06:07] <kameron> did that already eyequeue
[06:07] <sethk> kameron, you don't have to run kde to run those programs.  you probably already know that.
[06:07] <eyequeue> kameron, "q" ro quit less when youre done
[06:07] <mtholdenss> 30 minutes came from the time of the power manager settings its set to 30 minute to go to sleep...
[06:07] <link_36p> Did anyone liike at my apt-get problem? :(
[06:07] <mtholdenss> sethk
[06:07] <sethk> mtholdenss, oh, ok, but it never gets that far?
[06:07] <eyequeue> kameron, nothing useful?  sorry
[06:07] <sethk> mtholdenss, or something else happens at 10 minutes.
[06:07] <kameron> no but thanks eyequeue
[06:07] <mtholdenss> sethk , exactly
[06:07] <fiendskull9> im back
[06:07] <w30> mtholdenss, what's the screensaver configured for, for a choice of savers in the screensaver menu?
[06:08] <fiendskull9> sethk, i know your really busy with people, but did you find out what files i need to edit inside the /etc/rc* folder?
[06:08] <sethk> mtholdenss, the kernel rebuild would work, but let me see if I can find a less drastic way
[06:08] <Frederick> sethk, ln -s /usr/lib  /pathto/libMagick++.so.10 ?
[06:08] <mtholdenss> its configured for a folder of pictures but ive tried it on diff screensavers and same issue...
[06:08] <w30> mtholdenss, have you tried different savers?
[06:08] <sethk> fiendskull9, sorry, I was looking there and I got diverted.
[06:08] <mtholdenss> yes i have
[06:08] <fiendskull9> np
[06:08] <sethk> fiendskull9, do this for me, and (please) paste the results to the paste web site:     ls -ltr /etc/init.d
[06:08] <w30> mtholdenss, ok strike 3 or sumptin' like that
[06:08] <lostinc> Anyone know why the w32codecs package doesnt work with wmv files?
[06:09] <sethk> fiendskull9, what that does is list all the files in /etc/init.d in reverse time order, most recently changed last
[06:09] <justin_> No sever lists in games anymore under Ubuntu, they worked before and I did not change anything in my router or other system settings --- any ideas of what it could be? - it goes for all shooters, from Nexuiz to Wolfenstein...
[06:09] <fiendskull9> sethk, ill do the command and examine myself, but i cant use any webrowsers, im in a shell
[06:09] <mtholdenss> w30 what y mean, strike 3?
[06:09] <sethk> fiendskull9, that will tell us where to look for the xorg to xgl change, which I'm assuming is most recent
[06:09] <eyequeue> kameron, i think there was also a bible dictionary if you are running dictd, and perhaps something for calendar
[06:09] <sethk> fiendskull9, ah, then, just  tell me the names of the last three files
[06:09] <eyequeue> kameron, but none of those are what you wanted i suspect
[06:09] <w30> mtholdenss, I am running of any ideas to point you to, sorry
[06:10] <mtholdenss> w30 ill try the ubuntu forums...
[06:10] <sethk> mtholdenss, what happens at 10 minutes is that it puts the monitor to sleep
[06:10] <fiendskull9> sethk, linux-restricted-modules-common | cupsys | stopbootlogd-> bootlogd
[06:10] <sethk> mtholdenss, but for some reason the configuration that turns that off doesn't seem to be working.
[06:10] <mtholdenss> seth k yes it puts monitor to sleep...
[06:10] <mtholdenss> how do i turn it off again
[06:11] <sethk> fiendskull9, anything near the end with xgl or xorg in the name?
[06:11] <sethk> mtholdenss, let me look at something.
[06:11] <fiendskull9> sethk, let me check
[06:11] <mtholdenss> i did sudo rmmod video in terminal before...
[06:11] <mtholdenss> sethk
[06:11] <mtholdenss> ^^
[06:11] <sethk> mtholdenss, yes, I know, that's not going to fix it
[06:11] <fiendskull9> sethk, hmmm. it goes GDM to alsa-utilities
[06:11] <fiendskull9> vbesave before gdm
[06:11] <fiendskull9> but i cant see xgl/xorg anywhere
[06:11] <sethk> mtholdenss, I have told my screen saver to ignore power management, but it isn't working.  I'm trying to figure out why.
[06:12] <sethk> fiendskull9, ah, gdm is relevant
[06:12] <TylerDurdener> for some reason when i installed unreal tournmanet 2004, it wouldnt add an Application menu entry this time, is there a way to add it?
[06:12] <link_36p> Anyone here good with apt-geT?
[06:12] <mtholdenss> sethk ok thanks, ill search on ubuntu forums
[06:12] <sethk> fiendskull9, very likely the default gdm session was changed
[06:12] <Flannel> TylerDurdener: Alacarte
[06:12] <sethk> mtholdenss, ok, let us know what you find
[06:12] <w30> mtholdenss, does you bios have any power saving configuration for your monitor that would override the operating system, like does it do it in Msoft too?
[06:12] <fiendskull9> sethk, when i drop to terminal, and kill anything that grep returns with gdm, i start gdm, and it gives me the ol xgl not found
[06:12] <TylerDurdener> Flannel, i was hoping for something less generic >.<
[06:12] <fiendskull9> sethk, if its of any help, im using nvidia drivers, with twinview
[06:13] <sethk> fiendskull9, right.  we have to convince gdm that it shouldn't try to run xgl
[06:13] <sethk> fiendskull9, no, this is way above the driver level
[06:13] <mtholdenss> w30 i havnt booted into win xp for weeks...
[06:13] <Flannel> TylerDurdener: what?  It's a menu editor, isn't that exactly what you wanted?
[06:13] <fiendskull9> sethk, there is a K01gdm file in there :-\
[06:13] <TylerDurdener> Flannel I thought there might have been a command to launch a script that causes it to make the icon itself
[06:13] <sethk> fiendskull9, it may be changed there, but the change may actually be elsewhere, possibly in /etc/X11/gdm
[06:13] <Flannel> TylerDurdener: ah, well, that'd be an unreal specific thing. you'd have to check with their documentation/whatever
[06:14] <fiendskull9> sethk, ok, ill take a look in that file
[06:14] <fiendskull9> brb
[06:14] <sethk> fiendskull9, we have to return gdm to the state where it doesn't try to run xgl
[06:14] <sethk> fiendskull9, start with /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
[06:14] <sethk> fiendskull9, I tracked this down a while ago, and there are a couple of levels of indirection and a symbolic link involved.  It's not hard, just a bit convoluted to track down.
[06:14] <sethk> fiendskull9, I'll see if I can get to a machine running gdm instead of kdm
[06:16] <mtholdenss> so sethk after doing sudo rmmod video in a terminal once i reboot everything will be back to normal?
[06:16] <`Lam> !ping
[06:16] <ubotu> ping: connection timeout
[06:16] <skel> anyone know the package name to install jython in dapper?
[06:16] <fiendskull9> sethk, it says something about standard xserver = /usr/bin/X
[06:16] <skel> it was in the last version..
[06:17] <sethk> mtholdenss, right.  if you want to make that change permanent, you have to edit /etc/modules
[06:17] <sethk> fiendskull9, that's normal.
[06:17] <sethk> fiendskull9, but ...
[06:17] <`Lam> X or Xgl, and why?
[06:17] <sethk> fiendskull9, it may be a link.   do    ls -l /usr/bin/X
[06:17] <sethk> fiendskull9, see if it is a link, and, if so, what it is pointing to
[06:17] <fiendskull9> how would i know if its a link?
[06:18] <fiendskull9> it got /usr/bin/X with a red bg
[06:18] <sethk> fiendskull9, if you do  ls -l /usr/bin/X
[06:18] <sethk> fiendskull9, if it is a link, the first character in that line will be l
[06:18] <sethk> fiendskull9, and the end of the line will be the path of the file it points to
[06:19] <fiendskull9> well
[06:19] <sethk> fiendskull9, on my box, ls -l of /usr/bin/X is:       lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 14 2005-12-12 04:22 /usr/bin/X -> ../X11R6/bin/X
[06:19] <fiendskull9> it points to /usr/bin/X
[06:19] <fiendskull9> it doesnt look like that
[06:19] <sethk> fiendskull9, it points to itself?
[06:19] <fiendskull9> i guess
[06:19] <sethk> fiendskull9, that won't work.  I know you can't paste.
[06:20] <sethk> fiendskull9, you said it doesn't look like that.  why?
[06:20] <fiendskull9> give me a sex
[06:20] <fiendskull9> *sec
[06:20] <fiendskull9> ill try to type it out
[06:20] <sethk> k
[06:20] <sethk> fiendskull9, just do the first part (the permissions) and the end of the line.  maybe that will be enough.
[06:21] <fiendskull9> -rwxr-sr-x 1 root root 18066 2006-05-28 14;35 /usr/bin/X
[06:22] <fiendskull9> thats what i get with ls -l
[06:22] <fiendskull9> ls -l /usr/bin/X
[06:22] <sethk> that's a normal file, not a link
[06:22] <sethk> which is odd.
[06:22] <Frederick> does anyone know a easy to install and well documented image library i can use in ubuntu?
[06:22] <sethk> do this:   in /usr/bin,   do        mv X X.original
[06:23] <sethk> fiendskull9, then, do:   ln  -s /usr/X11R6/bin/X /usr/bin/X
[06:23] <sethk> fiendskull9, you'll need to use sudo or be root for both commands.
[06:23] <fiendskull9> ok
[06:23] <sethk> Frederick, I don't know about well documented.  everything in the ubuntu repositories is easy to install.
[06:24] <sethk> fiendskull9, we are renaming your current /usr/bin/X, so if necessary we can reverse this change
[06:24] <fiendskull9> i got that
[06:24] <fiendskull9> and i did the link
[06:24] <fiendskull9> now what
[06:24] <sethk> fiendskull9, see if there is any change to the gdm behavior.  The odds are against it, but it's worth a try.
[06:24] <fiendskull9> ok
[06:24] <fiendskull9> if i open a 4th virt. terminal, and do sudo gdm
[06:24] <fiendskull9> will it kill these?
[06:25] <sethk> fiendskull9, kill which, the virtual terminals?  no
[06:25] <fiendskull9> ok
[06:25] <sethk> fiendskull9, the X display will be on vt 7
[06:25] <fiendskull9> ok
[06:25] <fiendskull9> brb
[06:25] <sethk> fiendskull9, v6 1 through 6 will still be there
[06:25] <Frederick> sethk, Imagemagick package doesnt features the C lib by some wierd reason
[06:25] <sethk> Frederick, the older version of the library is available in the repositories
[06:25] <sethk> Frederick, is there an error in the package, and it won't install?
[06:26] <sethk> Frederick, installs fine on breezy
[06:26] <fiendskull9> still the same error
[06:26] <fiendskull9> can i just reinstall gdm?
[06:26] <sethk> fiendskull9, yes, try that.  uninstall it first
[06:26] <fiendskull9> ok
[06:27] <Frederick> sethk, it install but WYSINWYG
[06:27] <_jupo> help window
[06:27] <sethk> Frederick, why do you think that has something to do with the C library?
[06:27] <Frederick> sethk, if you try this sample http://www.imagemagick.org/script/magick-wand.php you will see it wont link cause ubuntu package doesnt ships the c lib
[06:28] <sethk> Frederick, ok.  I was able to play with jpeg files with it.
[06:28] <fiendskull9> AHA
[06:28] <khaije1> on my desktop machine (using my laptop now) i saw a connection originating from my desktop and connecting to another machine on port 54321 which is afaik only associated with backorifice
[06:28] <sethk> Frederick, I'm using gimp, I just played with image magick a bit for fun
[06:28] <sethk> fiendskull9, is that a good AHA?
[06:28] <khaije1> is this machine compromised?
[06:28] <fiendskull9> it cannot exec /usr/bin/X11/X because theres to many levels of symbolic linkx
[06:28] <fiendskull9> (thats what i get when i do startx)
[06:28] <Frederick> sethk, Im using its C API not the programs it ships with
[06:28] <sethk> fiendskull9, ok
[06:29] <sethk> fiendskull9, we caused that by making the link
[06:29] <khaije1> i didn't see anything else that suggested it was in the few minutes i could spend w/ it before i had to go.... :-/
[06:29] <sethk> fiendskull9, I suspect
[06:29] <sethk> do ls -l /usr/bin/X11/X
[06:29] <sethk> fiendskull9, we can undo what we did in /usr/bin
[06:29] <sethk> Frederick, ok
[06:29] <cynical> sethk: wow, have you been helping out all day? I remember seeing you like 5-6 hours ago
[06:29] <sethk> Frederick, that would be different
[06:30] <fiendskull9> it points to /usr/X11R6/X
[06:30] <sethk> cynical, well, when they aren't threatening to ban me for telling the truth about sudo, yes.  :)
[06:30] <fiendskull9>  /usr/X11R6/bin/X
[06:30] <cynical> sethk: what about sudo? :)
[06:30] <fiendskull9> cynical, he has been of great help to me, hes on a roll :)
[06:31] <ShdwShinobi> Hello, I'm getting an error when I'm running TvTime. I have a ATI Radeon X1600 video card. The error I get is this: xvoutput: Received X error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)   Does anyone know what the problem is?
[06:31] <TylerDurdener> how do i force my computer to eject a cd?
[06:31] <fiendskull9> TylerDurdener, right click the cd icon on the desktop, eject
[06:31] <cynical> fiendskull9: hehe good to hear
[06:31] <sethk> cynical, I won't go there right now.  :)  I'll discuss the technical issues if anyone wants to.
[06:31] <khaije1> TylerDurdener: also from 'sudo eject'
[06:31] <TylerDurdener> fiendskull9 it says unable to eject media
[06:31] <ShdwShinobi> sethk, can you answer my question?
[06:31] <sethk> TylerDurdener, it's probably mounted.
[06:32] <ivan> hello
[06:32] <fiendskull9> hello ivan
[06:32] <sethk> ShdwShinobi, let me see if it is still in my window.
[06:32] <TylerDurdener> sethk how do i unmount?
[06:32] <ShdwShinobi> unmount
[06:32] <sethk> ShdwShinobi, that's an error deep inside the video code.
[06:32] <ivan> es la primera vez que navego por linux
[06:32] <Xenguy> umount
[06:32] <fiendskull9> TylerDurdener, sudo umount /dev/cdrom
[06:32] <axisys> what app apt-get  uses to pull pkg from repo? is it wget?
[06:32] <sethk> TylerDurdener, probably it is the current directory for a shell
[06:32] <ShdwShinobi> Sounds like it's going to suck to fix?
[06:32] <sethk> TylerDurdener, if you didn't use sudo for umount, that might also be the problem.  :)
[06:32] <fiendskull9> axisys, i beleive it uses its own code
[06:33] <sethk> TylerDurdener, I assumed that you did.  if not, try it.
[06:33] <TylerDurdener> sethk, that explains it, it was in the dir in the terminal, thanks
[06:33] <fiendskull9> TylerDurdener, heres your sign
[06:33] <axisys> fiendskull9: is there way I can change the way it pull the data?
[06:33] <fiendskull9> please exscuse me for that bad redneck humour
[06:33] <sethk> ShdwShinobi, that error is caused by incorrect code.  but to figure out exactly where is far from trivial.
[06:33] <sethk> ShdwShinobi, see if there are newer versions available, in case the problem has been fixed.
[06:34] <fiendskull9> axisys, not without a good knowledge of C/C++ and the sourcecode for apt
[06:34] <sethk> TylerDurdener, np
[06:34] <ShdwShinobi> sethk, a little more of a background... I just reinsalled Ubuntu. I upgraded to the i686 kernel to be able to use my dual core CPU to the fullest. then I installed all of the system updates. After that I followed a tutorial on how to correctly install the newest ATI drivers, which worked fine. After that, I rebooted, installed TvTime, and that's the error I got.
[06:34] <fiendskull9> ShdwShinobi, have you tried looking around google for any possible conflicts?
[06:34] <fiendskull9> tvtime +ati +ubuntu
[06:34] <fiendskull9> or tvtime +ati
[06:35] <axisys> i want it to use axel instead of whatever it is using.. so time to google on how to modify apt-get pull process
[06:35] <sethk> ShdwShinobi, what you have is similar to a buffer overflow or writing past the end of memory.  The cause is usually far away from the symptom
[06:35] <ShdwShinobi> I ran the error.... came up with 3 results. 2 were foreign, and I can read some german, but no japan. Neither helped... and the other one mentioned it but never actually got to fixing it.
[06:35] <axisys> !apt-get > axisys
[06:35] <sethk> ShdwShinobi, it's almost certainly a wild pointer.
[06:35] <sethk> ShdwShinobi, there is a memory debugger you can try.
[06:35] <Muteki> anyone know what drivers to use to install a Diamond Viper v330?
[06:36] <sethk> ShdwShinobi, it would probably give us a lot more information about the problem.
[06:36] <fiendskull9> sethk, i think im just going to reinstall.
[06:36] <sethk> fiendskull9, well, you know that will work.
[06:36] <fiendskull9> sethk, thanks for your help :)
[06:36] <brian98> I got so peed off with ati I changed to an Nvidia card.. The difference in stability and speed is mad
[06:36] <fiendskull9> ill certainly be back within an hour or so
[06:36] <sethk> fiendskull9, it'll probably be quicker, so if you aren't losing anything important by reinstalling ...
[06:36] <ShdwShinobi> Ok, what's the memory debugger?
[06:36] <fiendskull9> brian98, i agree :)
[06:37] <fiendskull9> brian98, my 6800xt smokes with the new nvidia drivers
[06:37] <fiendskull9> im out
[06:37] <sethk> ShdwShinobi, yes.  it may, as brian98  just suggested, come down to the ati driver
[06:37] <fiendskull9> enjoy :)
[06:37] <sethk> ShdwShinobi, the memory debugger would probably let is prove or disprove that.
[06:37] <ShdwShinobi> Ok, well... it looks likes there's a newer version than the thread said. So i'm going to install that quickly.
[06:37] <ANTDx1> Hey guys...I've been here a few times today...I still can't seem to get my drive to have enough open space so that Ubuntu can create a partition big enough to install on.
[06:37] <bjron> would someone be willing to test my packages real quick and let me know if they work ?
[06:37] <sethk> ShdwShinobi, ok, try that first.  it's your best hope.
[06:38] <Muteki> anyone know what drivers to use to install a Diamond Viper v330?
[06:38] <sethk> ANTDx1, I don't remember talking to you, so perhaps you should repeat the details?  unless someone else here remembers?
[06:38] <ANTDx1> Nah I can repeat the details.
[06:38] <sethk> Muteki, dpkg-reconfigure found it for me.  is it not working for you?
[06:39] <sethk> Muteki, the card died a few weeks later, but the software worked.  :)
[06:39] <ANTDx1> Basically, I tried to install Ubuntu earlier on my laptop, hoping to use it to resize an NTFS partition and create a new partition and a grub bootloader partition and all that stuff during th einstall.
[06:39] <ANTDx1> I defragged, then tried to install.
[06:39] <brian98> There are two areas that are letting ubuntu down (and it's not ubuntu's fault)
[06:39] <brian98> Graphics and Wireless
[06:39] <ANTDx1> I got an error that Ubuntu could not free enough space for an install.
[06:39] <brian98> if the vendors got their sh*t together
[06:39] <ANTDx1> I defragged a bit more, and Windows installer shows a large, continuous amount of free space.
[06:40] <Muteki> lol thx lemme check
[06:40] <ANTDx1> However, Ubuntu still doesn't recognize that.
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> brian98,  you do not want to kjow the hassles ive gone through with wireless under 'windows' :)   - I find wireless in general to be a bigger hassle then it should be.
[06:40] <brian98> true
[06:40] <brian98> but I'm talking about driver supports
[06:40] <brian98> but I'm talking about driver support
[06:40] <sethk> Muteki, defragging doesn't help you.
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> of coruse - even windows. dosent include the  latest drivers for nvidia or ati cards  either. :)
[06:40] <sethk> Muteki, you need to change partition sizes.  defragging just rearranges stuff within a partition
[06:41] <little_caesar> how do I take a webcam photo in Ubuntu?
[06:41] <`Lam> i have a broadcom wireless chip. would ubuntu work with it or would i need something like ndiswrapper
[06:41] <brian98> I know that but they are generally better and require a lot less tweaking than we get!
[06:41] <sethk> Muteki, you need to use something like partition magic to shrink the windows partition.
[06:41] <Rookie-> any system normally dont include drivers, thats the manufactors job
[06:41] <ANTDx1> Shouldn't you be able to use Ubuntu's partition manager to shrink a partition?  It worked fine on my family's desktop
[06:42] <brian98> The wireless thing is due to lack of open source from the vendors I believe
[06:42] <brian98> texas instruments in particular
[06:42] <little_caesar> how can I take a photo with my webcam?
[06:42] <brian98> acx is good but it doesn't always work
[06:42] <`Lam> i heard the linux 2.6.17 rc2 kernal had support for broadcom from reverse engieering
[06:42] <brian98> little_caeser: use the scanner option under graphics under applications
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> Heck the wirless vendors seem to like to use different terms for the same thing under windows. :P   Im suprised their stuff works as well under linux as it does.
[06:43] <brian98> Dr_Willis: two extreme examples
[06:43] <ANTDx1> Any ideas on how I can get the free space to exist continuously so that Ubuntu can use it?
[06:43] <diana> Anyone else here using latest edgy packages and can confirm that nautilus doesn't show any files as "view list" as opposed to view as icons?
[06:43] <little_caesar> brian98: ok. Then what? I use the webcam as a device. And it comes up with "photo" and it's like a sound wave
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> I just constantly get the feeling that Wireless Is being shoved out to the public.. befor its ready.
[06:43] <diana> ANTDx1: reformat?
[06:43] <diana> ANTDx1: or lvm
[06:44] <ANTDx1> Without losing my Windows data
[06:44] <brian98> I installed a Fujitsu siemens Lifebook S7010 yesterday
[06:44] <cynical> Dr_Willis: Very true. An example, Pre 802.11n routers
[06:45] <`Lam> wireless really should be hammered out for all of linux distros.  linus is missing a huge demographic that is currently suceptible to influence--college students.  most of them have laptops with wireless adapters
[06:45] <`Lam> linux* :x
[06:45] <cynical> Wireless isn't a big deal, get a supported card
[06:45] <cvt> how do i get permission to copy files?
[06:45] <cynical> there are lots of them that work well, just not ALL of them :\
[06:45] <`Lam> college students are not necessarily willing to spend money to get soemthing to work
[06:45] <brian98> I installed a Fujitsu siemens Lifebook S7010 yesterday it installed every single device without any addition drivers
[06:45] <cynical> cvt: use sudo
[06:45] <brian98> even bletooth support
[06:45] <brian98> I was flabbergasted
[06:46] <brian98> bluetooth
[06:46] <brian98> sorry
[06:46] <cynical> lol students are going to college and cant afford to spend $20 on a wireless card? sad
[06:46] <ANTDx1> speaking of college students who don't want to use money, I'm still wondering what I can do about this problem
[06:46] <`Lam> lol yeah. i'm the same
[06:46] <cynical> ANTDx1: what are you trying to do?
[06:46] <`Lam> i'm too cheap to get food sometimes
[06:46] <ANTDx1> Install ubuntu
[06:47] <sethk> ANTDx1, no
[06:47] <sethk> ANTDx1, you can I believe shrink it with gparted
[06:47] <sethk> ANTDx1, it's possibly dapper has that available in the installer, I'm not sure.
[06:47] <cynical> `Lam: lol ramen right?
[06:47] <`Lam> hell yeah :)
[06:47] <cvt> cynical,  i gksudo nautilus i sudo konqueror. what else can i do?
[06:47] <Muteki> sethk, my su has a different password than i do on the fresh install... i can't run dpkg-reconfigure
[06:47] <mutk> cycom, I distinctly remember being broke and at collegde. Not such a supprise
[06:47] <`Lam> it's like a dollar
[06:47] <ANTDx1> sethk, I've already fired up the gparted live CD.
[06:47] <ShdwShinobi> sethk
[06:47] <cynical> cvt: sudo cp filename destination
[06:47] <ANTDx1> It is also unable to resize the partition
[06:47] <little_caesar> is there any way I can look into my webcam in realtime. Or even better, use AIM or yahoo chat w/ my webcam
[06:47] <ShdwShinobi> now that I upgraded the drivers... i get "No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images."
[06:47] <dave038> my screen resoution is all messed up someone please help
[06:47] <cynical> ANTDx1: You are saying that you want to install ubuntu, and are trying to resize an ntfs partition?
[06:48] <cynical> sethk: the installer uses gparted
[06:48] <ANTDx1> Aye.  I am trying to install Ubuntu on my computer, which currently has a 100 GB NTFS partition and nothing else.  I wish to take some of the unused space and turn it into about an 80-20 partition
[06:48] <ANTDx1> 20 for Ubuntu
[06:49] <cynical> ANTDx1: What is the error you get? I've never had problems resizing ntfs so I assure you its possible
[06:49] <dave038> someone please help me with my screen resoution everything is so crowded :|
[06:49] <`Lam> cynical: his drive apparently doesn't show that it has free space to resize with, from what i understand
[06:49] <ANTDx1> "Unable to create enough free space for installation"
[06:49] <`Lam> ah!
[06:49] <Luakagon> !ha
[06:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ha - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:50] <`Lam> can you resize your NTFS partition first?
[06:50] <unkn0wn2u> i have dapper , how can i use beagle with inotify kernel if dapper doesn't have a inotify kernel?
[06:50] <ANTDx1> I've tried many different things, none of which have been successful in resizing my partition.
[06:50] <`Lam> how full is your NTFS drive?
[06:50] <diana> Who in here is using edgy?
[06:51] <link_36p> http://pastebin.ca/165749
[06:51] <cvt> cynical, can't. says no such file or directory
[06:51] <ANTDx1> My NTFS drive is less than half full.
[06:51] <iLikeSpoons> diana - #ubuntu+1
[06:51] <cynical> cvt: what file are you trying to move and where do you want to move it?
[06:51] <ANTDx1> Windows recognizes 93.7 GB
[06:51] <ANTDx1> I am currently using around 40
[06:51] <cvt> cynical,  i'm trying to copy a file to a hd
[06:51] <link_36p> can anyone look at this? http://pastebin.ca/165749
[06:52] <cynical> cvt: whats the filename and where are you trying to copy it?
[06:52] <cvt> cynical,  filename.extension to /media/sda1/
[06:52] <cynical> ANTDx1: strange, are you sure you arent making the ubuntu partitions too large?
[06:52] <`Lam> ANTDx1: are you able to resize your NTFS drive to 70 or 80GB first?  you need to resize a partition to create "free" space.  then you need to take that free, unpartitioned space, and turn it into a partitioned space with an ext3 file system
[06:52] <cynical> cvt: ah is that your ntfs partition?
[06:53] <cvt> cynical,  probably
[06:53] <BenrightB4> hey all... i am having a problem setting up my printer to print from this computer, on my linux box and hooking it to my windows and trying to print through the network.. could anybody help me out?
[06:53] <ANTDx1> I am sure.  I am resizing the partition down to where windows has about a 70 gig and Ubuntu has about 20 gigs
[06:53] <cvt> cynical, it was my hd i used on windows
[06:53] <cynical> cvt: lol well you cant write to it by default. Follow this guide to set it up. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009&highlight=ntfs-3g
[06:54] <sethk> is freenode going up and down?  I lost it for a few minutes
[06:54] <`Lam> ANTDx1: if the 20 gigs of partitioned space appears with a hdb or an hda label or something, it should appear on the next page with where you are trying to mount the root directory ( / ) to
[06:54] <dave038> my screen resoution seems to be 640x480 yet the scren resoution says 1024x768
[06:55] <ANTDx1> It doesn't get that far.  It never actually frees up the space.
[06:55] <ANTDx1> I have not yet been able to take out the 20 gigs
[06:55] <smoked1> I just replaced windows with ubuntu on my laptop and now my pcmcia card reader is not working. It shows up under computer in gnome but when I try to access it it says: "unable to mount the selected volume" and "device /dev/sda1 is not removable" and "could execute pmount". Does anyone know what I need to do to make this work? This card reader is what I use to get the pictures of my kid and my wife is wigging ou that windows is gone.
[06:56] <smoked1> sorry, not could but "could not"
[06:56] <eRadic8r> any nVidia on Dell laptop experts here?
[06:56] <cynical> lol
[06:56] <sethk> smoked1, possibly the pcmcia kernel modules need to be loaded with insmod
[06:56] <little_caesa1> if I'm stuck in full screen and the screen fizzles out. What would I do to get out of it? Like the Windows equivalent of control-alt-delete, or -alt-tab
[06:56] <little_caesa1> alt-tab didn't work for me, though
[06:56] <cynical> eRadic8r: depends, ask the question :D
[06:57] <diana> little_caesa1: control alt backspace?
[06:57] <smoked1> sethk: how do I try that?
[06:57] <`Lam> ANTDx1: i don't believe the partitioner does anything until the end of the installation, where it starts to put in all changes.  to be sure, your 20 gigs of space for ubuntu is red (ext3) instead of the blue (ntfs) or grey (unpartitinoed), yes?
[06:57] <little_caesa1> diana: and what does that do?
[06:57] <sethk> little_caesa1, first, control-alt-delete works in linux also.  second, control-alt-backspace kills and restarts the gui
[06:57] <dave038> my screen resoution seems to be 640x480 yet the screen resoution application says 1024x768
[06:57] <cherubiel> smoked1: contents of /etc/pmount.allow ?
[06:57] <diana> little_caesa1: `restarts X
[06:57] <cynical> little_caesa1: you could do alt+ctrl+f1 to get to the terminal also
[06:57] <little_caesa1> control alt delete isn't doing anything for me. Are you sure?
[06:57] <cvt> cynical,  when i follow those intructions it says my pw is wrong but it's right
[06:58] <sethk> smoked1, first, run  lsmod  (list modules).
[06:58] <smoked1> cherubiel, I am looking at that file now.. thanks
[06:58] <diana> little_caesa1: control alt backspace, not delete
[06:58] <eRadic8r> can't seem to get the driver to load.....tried every trick found online but still same results
[06:58] <ANTDx1> On the graphical installer, I get to step 5, where it brings up install options.
[06:58] <cherubiel> little_caesa1: ctrl+alt+backspace
[06:58] <BenrightB4> dave038: is that for everything you use.. or just a certain program?
[06:58] <ANTDx1> There are four options.
[06:58] <sethk> smoked1, can you run lspci, then run lsmod, and paste both at the paste web site?
[06:58] <cynical> cvt: at what part?
[06:58] <eRadic8r> locks up screen on startup
[06:58] <little_caesa1> yeah, but you said Ctrl+alt+del works, or at least does something
[06:58] <cynical> eRadic8r: whats the error message?
[06:58] <little_caesa1> what if I want to force a program shut? What's the task manager shortcut?
[06:58] <cvt> cynical,  very first step
[06:58] <Schalken> can anyone help me get edgy working? i get a dozen errors when I log in.
[06:58] <dave038> BenrightB4for everything its like 640 x something
[06:58] <`Lam> ANTDx1: use the manual partition method.  the options of installation screen, to me, is confusing as hell
[06:58] <cvt> cynical,  gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:58] <smoked1> sethk, i will do that now
[06:58] <BenrightB4> little_caesal: alt-tab should work too.
[06:58] <dave038> yet it says 1024
[06:59] <`Lam> ANTDx1: edit your partition table manually
[06:59] <cynical> little_caesa1: there is none, you can make the system monitor (linux task manager) come up when hitting alt+ctrl+del tho
[06:59] <ANTDx1> I've tried, `Lam
[06:59] <`Lam> wow that's a pretty unique situation
[06:59] <cynical> cvt: dont use gksu, just sudo
[06:59] <little_caesa1> ok. Thanks
[06:59] <dave038> BenrightB4for :| got any ideas?
[06:59] <ANTDx1> When I do that, it tells me that the operation has failed.  It also warns that this could affect other operations.
[06:59] <little_caesa1> what's task manager, though?
[06:59] <cherubiel> smoked1: if you don't find your /dev/sbxx, add that to /etc/pmount.allow and then try again
[06:59] <BenrightB4> dave038: have you tried adjust the monitor itself.. i have had that problem before with some monitors.. might be yours too
[06:59] <little_caesa1> it was control Escape in KDE on my last OS (I'm a convert)
[06:59] <cynical> little_caesa1: system monitor, its under system > administration
[06:59] <little_caesa1> but I don't know what this one is
[06:59] <cherubiel> smoked1: if you don;t find it in /etc/pmount.allow that is :P
[06:59] <dave038> how would i adjust it?
[07:00] <sethk> little_caesa1, still control-escape in kde
[07:00] <little_caesa1> I need a key shortcut. Can I make one?
[07:00] <little_caesa1> I'm in Gnome
[07:00] <cynical> little_caesa1: automatix can do it for you, I forgot the manual way
[07:00] <sethk> little_caesa1, I prefer kde, but you can make the shortcut in gnome, yes
[07:00] <little_caesa1> I prefer kde too. But I can't get it until my CD gets here with kubuntu
[07:00] <`Lam> ANTDx1: i have no idea what's the exact cause of that problem from the information given. sorry i couldn't be of much help :(
[07:00] <dave038> still small resoution it seems
[07:00] <link_36p> guys im trying to fizx this apt-get error i keep getting -http://pastebin.ca/165749
[07:00] <ANTDx1> I know it's unique..I looked for it on forums.
[07:01] <geefrancis> i need some help with a driver for a USB wireless adapter, anybody in?
[07:01] <cynical> geefrancis: ask away
[07:01] <BenrightB4> dave038: there are buttons on the bottom of the monitor... use those to find the V-access and the H-access then adjust each one and then degauss it with the buttont that says degauss
[07:01] <BenrightB4> oh, sorry then, im not sure really
[07:01] <sethk> little_caesa1, you can load kde from the 'net
[07:01] <dave038> yah i tried that :| nothing
[07:01] <sethk> little_caesa1, you don't need the kubuntu cd
[07:01] <dave038> xorg problem?
[07:01] <eRadic8r> log after crash said no usable display found
[07:02] <BenrightB4> dave: i sould try rebooting personally, but who knows
[07:02] <sethk> dave038, you've already tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[07:02] <little_caesa1> sethk: ok. I'll look into that. But I'd rather buy the tires than get the new car at the moment. Is there a way to make a shortcut? or is there one
[07:02] <dave038> no sethk
[07:02] <BenrightB4> someone else here may be able to help you much more then I though
[07:02] <sethk> dave038, try it.
[07:02] <cynical> little_caesa1: yes you can use automatix
[07:03] <little_caesa1> automatix isn't a program that my alt+f2 could launch. Where do I get it?
[07:03] <cynical> little_caesa1: http://www.getautomatix.com
[07:03] <little_caesa1> w00t. Thanks
[07:03] <dave038> wow a lot more screen resoutions
[07:03] <cynical> np
[07:03] <sethk> little_caesa1, alt-f2 can launch any program that is installed
[07:03] <little_caesa1> should be all I need
[07:03] <dave038> 192-x1440 good?
[07:04] <geefrancis> cynical, thanks.  So, first of am linux/ubuntu n00b, so we may need to go slow.  Device manager sees the device, but in the Admin > Networking it is not listed, apparently a driver exists (see http://zd1211.ath.cx/) but i have no idea how to install it
[07:04] <little_caesa1> but is it powerful enough to interrupt other apps?
[07:04] <dave038> 1920 x 1440*
[07:04] <cynical> geefrancis: ooh I have the same one!
[07:04] <sethk> dave038, how big is your monitor?
[07:04] <little_caesa1> that's something I miss from Windows. Is that when there's a freeze or some form of malfunction. You can power-user your way out of it
[07:04] <cynical> geefrancis: try sudo modprobe zd1211
[07:04] <dave038> 17"
[07:04] <little_caesa1> I'm guessing Linux can do it too and that I haven't learned yet. I'm hoping that's true
[07:04] <sethk> dave038, that's a bit small for 1920x1440, but it depends on your eyes.  You may see better than I do.
[07:05] <smoked1> I am very sorry for the delay.  pastebin.com seems to be having issues
[07:05] <sethk> smoked1, the entire 'net seems to be having issues.
[07:05] <cynical> geefrancis: and do lsmod to check if its loaded
[07:06] <cynical> little_caesa1: well the good thing about linux is that usually when an application freezes, it doesnt take the whole system down with it
[07:06] <geefrancis> cynical, that didn't appear to do anything
[07:06] <dave038> ok i have to do a command now?
[07:06] <cynical> geefrancis: do you see zd1211 anywhere near usb after typing lsmod?
[07:06] <geefrancis> cynical, hold on, missed that lsmod
[07:06] <dave038> sudo/etc/init.d/gdm restart ?
[07:07] <dave038> haha i guess not
[07:07] <ungebeten> How can I upgrade jpilot, all I found is the sources and a Slackware 10.2 Package. What do I have to do with it? (in Gnome) (same with pilot-link 0.12.0)
[07:07] <smoked1> sethk: http://pastebin.ca/165797
[07:07] <dave038> still small
[07:07] <sirrush> Howdy everyone
[07:08] <dave038> maybe have to restart
[07:08] <dave038> be back later
[07:08] <sirrush> hehehe gotta like that ex chat
[07:08] <sethk> smoked1, ok, you have the RL5C476 ii cardbus bridge.  that's your pcmcia controller.
[07:09] <geefrancis> cynical, its not there in lsmod
[07:09] <cynical> geefrancis: ok thats fine, do you have your kernel sources?
[07:09] <smoked1> I also did not find it in /etc/pmount.allow so I added /dev/sda1
[07:09] <sethk> smoked1, that's not going to change anything
[07:09] <smoked1> arg
[07:10] <smoked1> should I remove that
[07:10] <smoked1> ?
[07:10] <sethk> smoked1, yes, let's change one thing at a time.
[07:10] <geefrancis> cynical, i haven't the foggiest idea of what you mean.
[07:10] <smoked1> ok man
[07:10] <cynical> geefrancis: if not, sudo apt-get install linux-source :)
[07:10] <sethk> smoked1, I'm looking up which module you need for that pcmcia chipset.  be patient, it might take a few minutes.
[07:10] <jharr> I need to make an ubuntu installer that has a custom kernel on it (device driver weirdness, adaptec, don't ask). Anyone have some good links?
[07:10] <smoked1> I will be here
[07:11] <little_caesa1> lol
[07:11] <cynical> geefrancis: kernel sources are what you need if you want to compile support for anything extra, like video card drivers, wireless drivers etc
[07:12] <geefrancis> cynical, is now grabbing data off cdrom.
[07:12] <sethk> smoked1, the kernel configuration looks correct.
[07:12] <cynical> geefrancis: great, after that download the latest driver here. http://zd1211.ath.cx/download/
[07:12] <sethk> smoked1, what pcmcia card are you using?  you said you are connecting a camera, right?
[07:13] <cvt> cynical, what's the 3rd step mean under 2. Configuration?
[07:13] <smoked1> sethk, No it is a pcmcia card that I use for reading the card from my sony memory card
[07:13] <sethk> smoked1, ok.  I do the same thing, but with a CF card.
[07:13] <sethk> smoked1, does the computer have USB?
[07:14] <sethk> because the easy way to fix this is to use a USB card reader.
[07:14] <cvt> cynical,  /dev/<your partition>     /media/<mount point>
[07:14] <cynical> cvt: it means that in the /etc/fstab entry for your windows partition, change where it says ntfs to ntfs-3g. Also change what comes after it to what he has listed
[07:14] <smoked1> Yes, it has USB
[07:14] <ryctor> hey
[07:14] <sethk> smoked1, the card readers are cheap.  I saw one that reads five different types of memory cards for about $20.
[07:15] <sethk> smoked1, the pcmcia one should work, but for $20, is it worth the time it might take to figure it out?
[07:15] <cynical> cvt: it should already be setup for you, you just have to change it to what he has listed (everything after mount point)
[07:15] <snake> does apt-get log what it installs, and if so, where can I locate that log
[07:15] <cvt> cynical,  the line of code right before didn't work b/c it said gksu and sudo didn't work
[07:15] <ryctor> which file to edit in order to modprobe a module at boot?
[07:15] <sethk> ryctor, /etc/modules
[07:15] <cynical> cvt: well if sudo didnt work you must not be using the right password
[07:15] <smoked1> sethk: No it is not worth it. My pcmcia card can take a dump for all I care.
[07:15] <cvt> cynical,  and i don't have the gksu password
[07:16] <cvt> cynical,  i have mulitple passwords?
[07:16] <snake> does apt-get log what it installs, and if so, where can I locate that log
[07:16] <smoked1> I just need to be able to read this type of card so that my woman does not curse linux
[07:16] <cynical> cvt: no, the one you created for your user account is the one you use for everything
[07:16] <geefrancis> cynical, terminal is telling me it will be another 6mins before kernel sources are downloaded, will let you know when complete, have already downloaded latest driver from aformentioned page
[07:16] <cvt> cynical, sudo accepts my pw but it didn't move for a long time
[07:16] <sethk> smoked1, I'll tell you the card reader I'm using with ubuntu; it takes that format also.
[07:16] <sethk> k
[07:16] <cynical> geefrancis: ok :)
[07:16] <ryctor> thks
[07:17] <smoked1> thd formayt is minisd
[07:17] <smoked1> sorry: format
[07:17] <cynical> cvt: uhh thats strange. You typed the commands exactly?
[07:17] <sethk> smoked1, this reader is a "mediaGear".   it does the cf, sony, and the little card from my palm also
[07:17] <sethk> smoked1, I've also used a sandisk reader with ubuntu without problems.
[07:18] <link_36p> guys im trying to fizx this apt-get error i keep getting -http://pastebin.ca/165749
[07:18] <ronybeck> OK should I use XGL or AIGLX?
[07:18] <ronybeck> on Edgy
[07:18] <sethk> smoked1, there are lots of others, most work with linux.
[07:18] <cynical> ronybeck: xgl if you have an nvidia card or a new ati card :P
[07:18] <cvt> cynical,  yes i copied them
[07:18] <ronybeck> cynical, kewl.  Any particular reason?
[07:18] <cynical> cvt: and you don't get any errors?
[07:19] <cynical> ronybeck: yes, mostly because until newer drivers are released you wont be able to get compositing working
[07:19] <cvt> cynical,  no errors accept that gksu doesn't accept my pw
[07:19] <`Lam> if my computer is running an x86-64 OS, and a program was designed under the x86 architecture, does compiling that program from source do anything?
[07:19] <cvt> cynical,  it doesn't bring back the command prompt
[07:19] <smoked1> sethk, bsre with me a sec m y kid is trippin
[07:19] <ungebeten> Is there a way to upgrade a package when I don't find the new version in the repositories?
[07:19] <ronybeck> cynical, thanks :-)
[07:19] <cynical> ronybeck: sure :)
[07:20] <cynical> ungebeten: you could compile it yourself from the latest source :P
[07:20] <Efwis> help, I need to make sure my apache server is getting through the iptables on my dapper install
[07:20] <cherubiel> smoked1: please try with the device entry in /etc/pmount.allow and try to mount again
[07:20] <Healot> ungebeten: get the source directly from the author site; build your own ubuntu package; or install it from an alternate repos
[07:20] <cynical> ungebeten: doesn't get newer than that
[07:20] <Faithen> huzza!
[07:21] <cynical> cvt: what step are you on?
[07:21] <snake> does apt-get log what it installs, and if so, where can I locate that log
[07:21] <w30>       /part
[07:21] <ungebeten> cynical: sounds complicated. Is that for beginners?
[07:21] <Faithen> Can any one lead me to the Ubuntu page that gives directions for installing Nvidia drivers?
[07:22] <Healot> no, ungebeten
[07:22] <cherubiel> !nvidia > Faithen
[07:22] <Healot> pretty much for intermediate or advanced users
[07:22] <cvt> cynical,  step 2 of 2. configuration
[07:22] <cynical> ungebeten: its really not hard. With most software its as simple as moving to the directory (in a terminal) and typing ./configure, then make && make install
[07:22] <Faithen> !nvidia
[07:22] <`Lam> i had problems compiling from source due to missing packages
[07:22] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:22] <cynical> ungebeten: now turning that source code into a proper .deb package, thats a whole other story
[07:22] <Faithen> thank you
[07:23] <cvt> cynical,  it doesn't accept my pw for gksu on the second line of code under 2. Configuration
[07:23] <ungebeten> I'm afraid that i might break my existing installation
[07:23] <cynical> cvt: instead of using gksu, just use sudo. As in 'sudo gedit /etc/fstab'
[07:23] <geefrancis> cynical, sources are finished, driver is downloaded, whats next?
[07:23] <`Lam> ungebeten: you usually don't have to worry about that.  if the program was programmed correctly, it won't let you install the program from source if it doesn't configure and make itself correctly
[07:24] <cynical> geefrancis: excellent, first extract it
[07:24] <cvt> cynical,  that's when it accepts my pw but just sits there for a long time with no action
[07:24] <geefrancis> cynical, done
[07:24] <cynical> geefrancis: then, in a terminal, change to the directory you just extracted and type 'make && make install'
[07:24] <ungebeten> `Lam: Thanks, I'll try that
[07:24] <cynical> cvt: damn, well I'm not really sure what can be done about that :(
[07:25] <Bandit52241> hello everyone
[07:25] <smoked1> \
[07:25] <snake> does apt-get log what it installs, and if so, where can I locate that log
[07:26] <cynical> geefrancis: now do 'modprobe -v zd1211'
[07:26] <Faithen> erm.... huh...
[07:26] <cynical> geefrancis: and lsmod to make sure its there
[07:27] <geefrancis> cynical, bash is telling me ' make: command not found'
[07:27] <Faithen> Question, how do i find out what my kernel is?
[07:27] <cynical> geefrancis: np, do 'sudo apt-get install make flex bison binutils build-essential'
[07:28] <cynical> geefrancis: those are most of the programs you need when compiling software
[07:28] <Bandit52241> new to ubuntu here
[07:28] <lhds> how to get a public key for a repository address i got? synaptic needs that
[07:28] <cynical> Faithen: 'uname -r'
[07:28] <`Lam> does anyone know if i compile a native x86 program from source, will it work on a x64 OS?
[07:28] <geefrancis> cynical, you have an impressive wealth of knowledge at your fingertips
[07:28] <cynical> geefrancis: lol thanks :D
[07:29] <Faithen> in terminal i'm assuming?
[07:29] <cynical> geefrancis: we all had to start somewhere
[07:29] <cynical> Faithen: yes
[07:29] <kenshin6x> hi... my nvidia driver not activate the support for openglx.. see: Direct Rendering: NO.. whats solution for it?
[07:30] <smoked1> sethk: Thank you for your help
[07:31] <geefrancis> cynical, the bison finished
[07:31] <sethk> smoked1, np, hope I helped.
[07:31] <smoked1> I have 2 usbn card readers at work and I will bring them both home to see if any of them work
[07:31] <cynical> geefrancis: ok now try make && make install again
[07:31] <cvt> cynical,  i got past that step now
[07:32] <Faithen> you know, last time i did this, i had to reinstall Ubuntu. Oi.. all in the name of being able to run CoV.
[07:32] <Efwis> faitehn in terminal type uname -r
[07:32] <cynical> cvt: wow took a while
[07:32] <Faithen> fun times were had by all
[07:32] <geefrancis> cynical, got this: make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[07:32] <geefrancis> make: *** [all]  Error 2
[07:32] <Faithen> already did it, and found the module
[07:32] <cvt> cynical,  on the next line of code since it doesn't have the line of my nfts partion and i have to add a line of code, do i have to provide a space at the end of the file?
[07:33] <cynical> cvt: are you sure you have an ntfs partition? Ubuntu usually recognizes it an add it to the fstab if you do
[07:33] <cafuego> geefrancis: You're missing the "linux-headers-$(uname -r)" package.
[07:33] <cvt> cynical,  no.
[07:33] <smoked1> cherubiel, I will also try adding what you said to /etc/pmount.allow. Should I add /dev/sda1 as per the error?  Do sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[07:35] <cafuego> geefrancis: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[07:35] <smoked1> cherubiel, are you there?
[07:35] <smoked1> cherubiel: are you there?
[07:35] <cvt> before i add a line of code do i need to provide a space before the line a load above it?

[07:48] <eneried> Milktea, in gnome open system->preferences->sound and select tyour sound card
[07:48] <Milktea> It was working a few minutes ago, then XMMS crashed
[07:48] <Milktea> ok
[07:48] <cynical> geefrancis: now just activate it and you're done
[07:48] <rosster> ummm, i'm using gnome
[07:48] <Rookie-> !alias
[07:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alias - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:48] <Milktea> My sound card is selected already
[07:48] <rosster> !display
[07:48] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:48] <geefrancis> cynical, thanks so much, i really appreciate the time and effort
[07:48] <Rookie-> wasnt it !alias" to use to change a *.bin file to a *.deb file ?
[07:49] <eneried> um, then try double clicking the volume control to open a big volume control and select volume for your card there
[07:49] <cynical> geefrancis: np, you can also do sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome if you want a graphical display for it
[07:49] <Milktea> It's selected already
[07:49] <eneried> if there's no sound you need the same help as me, system recognizes the soundcard, but there's no sound
[07:49] <rosster> so, does anyone know how to rotate your display with x windows?
[07:49] <yoshiznit123> rookie, i think its alien
[07:50] <b0ysc0ut> Xenguy i get this error
[07:50] <Milktea> I get the sound
[07:50] <Milktea> but after a few hours of use
[07:50] <Milktea> it disappears
[07:50] <Milktea> :/
[07:50] <Rookie-> ahh, oki

[07:50] <b0ysc0ut>     Quit, or continue with caution.

[07:51] <b0ysc0ut>     If you did this already, delete the swap file "/home/X/.bash_profile.swp"
[07:51] <b0ysc0ut>     to avoid this message.
[07:51] <rosster> alas, does anyone know how to rotate the display 90 degrees?
[07:51] <cvt> cynical,  i have an external hd via usb
[07:51] <Xenguy> b0ysc0ut: please stop pasting in this channel
[07:51] <rosster> or is that impossible using linux?
[07:51] <b0ysc0ut> sorry!!
[07:51] <sethk> b0ysc0ut, yes?  the message tells you exactly what to do.
[07:51] <cvt> Xenguy,  where are we supposed to paste?
[07:51] <Milktea> ugh i just have to restart

[07:52] <eyequeue> !caps
[07:52] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[07:52] <Xenguy> b0ysc0ut: it sounds like vim is crashing for some reason - which is not good :-)
[07:52] <asdf123> ok
[07:52] <Xenguy> b0ysc0ut: it shouldn't be
[07:52] <b0ysc0ut> how can i fix it?
[07:53] <asdf123> any1 know how i can fix it my vmware problem?
[07:53] <rosster> arg, so no one here knows anything about rotating displays's?
[07:53] <b0ysc0ut> i did the recovery..but when i go check again it would tell me the same thing!
[07:53] <rosster> can anyone point me in a direction of somewhere else?
[07:53] <eneried> coukld anybody help me?
[07:53] <Xenguy> b0ysc0ut: maybe you want to remove/purge vim, and try again?  I'm not sure what else to suggest; maybe someone else does
[07:54] <S1NGH> greetings all

[07:56] <asdf123> install automatix

[07:56] <asdf123> it lets you install most codecs
[07:57] <foo> I did apt-get install sun-java5-bin and java still is a no go. What am I missing?
[07:57] <asdf123> again, use automatix
[07:57] <eneried> see you later, there's no help for me here
[07:57] <yoshiznit123> what's the difference between easyubuntu and automatix?
[07:57] <yoshiznit123> foo, for the plugin you might need sun-java5-plugin
[07:58] <eyequeue> both are unsupported in here

[08:00] <Fnyar> Is there a default mail sending interface on Ubuntu Server? Something like "mail". It doesn't look like that's installed by default.
[08:00] <Gumby> foo: I know the answer to this one, I had to fix it earlier.. and it had nothing to do with automatix
[08:00] <foo> Gumby: ahh. automatix? Wha?
[08:01] <Gumby> I was referring to the people telling you to use automatix
[08:01] <asdf123> some1 help me
[08:01] <rosster> e-type, i get an error when i try to rotate...
[08:02] <Gumby> foo: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[08:02] <Healot> mail agent... Fnyar,  I think postfix is installed by default in server install
[08:02] <e-type> rosster: okay, which one?
[08:02] <Gumby> foo: this will allow you to pick which jvm you want to use
[08:02] <e-type> rosster: I never used it, so no promises of fixes ;)
[08:02] <rosster> it says xerror of failed request: badmatch (invalid parameter attributes)
[08:02] <foo> There is only 1 program which provides java
[08:02] <foo> (/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java). Nothing to configure.
[08:02] <foo> Gumby: ah, I remember doing this
[08:02] <rosster> major opcode: 153
[08:03] <rosster> it give like 4 lines of different opcodes and serial codes
[08:03] <Fnyar> maybe I  opted not to install it, but  I have installed sendmail. Unfortunately, I don't think sendmail provides a way to send an email via a single command. It looks like I have to enter an interactive mode if I want to send one.
[08:03] <Bennedetto> hold on here, what plugin would i have to install to get totem to support dvds
[08:04] <Healot> libdvdread3

[08:07] <Bennedetto> Healot, alright im installing totem-xine, but i cant find the extracodecs package
[08:07] <diana> https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffpreloader/ .. is there anything like that for Ubuntu? How can I have firefox resident in memory all the time, so when I start it, it starts really fast.

[08:08] <davin> hi, i made a backup with dd yesterday prior to tinkering with Compiz, now it doesnt work so I want to restore, so would I just use 'sudo dd if=/media/usbdisk/backup/image of=/dev/sda3' ? im in single-user mode, so I also need to check if my usbdisk is connected..
[08:08] <Healot> libxine-extracodecs >> can you spell, Bennedetto?
[08:08] <Bennedetto> hold on, maybe not
[08:09] <Bennedetto> bah, sorry, used to gentoo here :S
[08:09] <Bennedetto> still working out the differences
[08:10] <davin> Im not gonna try anything yet as I can screw it up again
[08:10] <diana> davin: Wouldn't it be easier just to downgrade the compiz packages?
[08:11] <diana> davin: And rm -rf ~/.gconf/compiz
[08:11] <Abst> What are the benefits to using a AMD kernal?
[08:11] <asdffg1234> vmware
[08:11] <asdffg1234> it doesnt start up, even when i start in terminal
[08:11] <davin> diana; no, I made alot of scripts and tinkered with my system
[08:11] <holycow> heh
[08:11] <Cap1ain> is apt the same system that debian uses?
[08:11] <Healot> YES
[08:11] <davin> diana: I just made a big 105gb backup of my system yesterday night
[08:11] <holycow> just got hit with a weird bug similar to the 'intermittent but hard to debug somewhat  borked ide cable'
[08:12] <ubuntu-novice> All: I have three broken packages in Synaptic Package Manager.  However, when I attempt to remove them it warns me saying that *everything* will be removed and will render system unusable.  How do I recuperate package manager?
[08:12] <holycow> an intermittently working dvd / burner cdrom device
[08:12] <holycow> weird thing is i always blame the os first
[08:12] <Ademan> is a Centrino proccessor 686?
[08:12] <davin> how can I see what drives are connected from a terminal?
[08:12] <asdffg1234> vmware help any1?
[08:12] <yoshiznit123> is there a c programming irc channel?
[08:12] <Ademan> yoshiznit123: what's your question?
[08:12] <trakz> ##c
[08:13] <Ademan> yoshiznit123: and there's a ##c++ here so why not ##c
[08:13] <yoshiznit123> trakz, ademan, ok thanks
[08:13] <asdffg1234> vmware help any1?
[08:13] <davin> anyone know a terminal command to see what drives/partitions are connected?
[08:14] <Ademan> Abst: if you have an AMD chip, it should be faster
[08:14] <ubuntu-novice> davin: (newbie myself, so pardon me if I am wrong) wouldn't mount help you?
[08:14] <Healot> davin: physical connection or the mounted partitions?
[08:14] <holycow> davin, fdisk -l
[08:15] <davin> ubuntu-novice: nah, I want to see what it recognizes, im about to restore a backup from a recovery console
[08:15] <Healot> "mount" is enough
[08:15] <davin> holyhow: lemme try
[08:15] <Healot> sudo fdisk -l
[08:15] <davin> fdisk-l is what I needed, thanks :-)
[08:15] <ubuntu-novice> davin: okay
[08:15] <davin> hm it doesnt recognize my usb harddisk
[08:16] <Abst> Ademan: If I use Synaptic is there much danger to it?
[08:16] <davin> weird
[08:16] <Ademan> Abst: do you have an AMD chip?
[08:16] <Abst> Yes
[08:16] <Ademan> then no i'd say there's no danger
[08:16] <ubuntu-novice> Abst: I was bitten by Synaptic yesterday.  My upgrade resulted in broken packages which I couldn't resolve.
[08:16] <zeronenorez> hey guys undering can't shutdown or restart ubuntu, I know how to add them: it's easy :->   System>Administration>Login Window Make sure you have Show Actions Menu checked under Menu Bar and that should do ya
[08:17] <Ademan> just be sure you know how to select different kernels in the GRUB menu at boot time
[08:17] <Ademan> just in case
[08:17] <davin> ubuntu-novice: theres a fine tutorial on ubuntuforums.org
[08:17] <davin> ubuntu-novice: on fixing that upgrade problem
[08:17] <ubuntu-novice> davin: thanks much..
[08:17] <Abst> Ademan: Is there a dialouge that shows all my sys info
[08:18] <Ademan> Abst: what do you mean? in the GRUB boot? or to determine what AMD chip you have?
[08:18] <Abst> The latter
[08:18] <Dremth> would someone like to answer a question for me?
[08:18] <Abst> !ask
[08:18] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:18] <davin> when I type 'fdisk -l' it shows all 3 partition on my harddisk (sda1 for WinXP, sda2 for Swap, sda3 for Ubuntu) but it doesnt show/recognize my usb harddisk? (before /dev/sdf)
[08:18] <Dremth> ok
[08:18] <Dremth> just wanted to see if anyone was here
[08:19] <trakz> I'm not here
[08:19] <Dremth> :D
[08:19] <Abst> No one is here, just 814 people :P
[08:19] <Dremth> i have a computer that has a hard drive formatted in ntfs... is it safe to resize that partition with the partition manager?
[08:19] <ubuntu-novice> What is the name of the local font directory where can I store the .ttf files local to my login?
[08:19] <Sarra_> It's scary when the server throws a fit and starts booting people
[08:20] <davin> Dremth: depends, is Windows on it?
[08:20] <Dremth> yes
[08:20] <davin> Dremth: you have to be careful then as its the first partition on your harddisk
[08:20] <Healot> !font > ubuntu-novice
[08:20] <Dremth> so i shouldnt resize it?
[08:21] <Dremth> because ubuntu cant write to ntfs, right?
[08:21] <davin> Dremth:  I think you can, but dont try to resize the beginning, itll render it unbootable
[08:21] <davin> Dremth: linux cant write to ntfs, no, youve had to use Windows to resize it
[08:21] <trakz> davin: how do you know that? Aren't you assuming?
[08:21] <Dremth> well, how do i resize the end?
[08:21] <TEN> Need to connect by UDP port 500 to other manufacturers' servers from the Cisco VPN Client, tellingly named v4.0.4 (nomen est omen - they must've been thinking of HTTP)... Now three non-Cisco servers complain about the size of Cisco's packets, being shorter than advertised and not in multiples of 4 bytes as the standard seems to require. While Cisco's own equipment may be tolerant of this, I wonder if the same holds true for any free VPN se
[08:22] <Dremth> and would you know i can use windows to resize my partition?
[08:22] <Dremth> know how* i can use..
[08:22] <davin> trakz: nah, I tried resizing my windows once, and it lifted the first sector up so I couldnt boot, ive fixed it by just putting it back to 0 and resizing the end
[08:22] <stealg> hi how can i know what its my kernel
[08:22] <davin> Dremth: using compmpgmt.msc
[08:23] <Healot> uname -a > stealg
[08:23] <Bennedetto> wow, i have to say that there is nothing more frustrating than not being able to do a simple task like watch a dvd
[08:23] <Abst> !dvd
[08:23] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[08:23] <davin> anyway, my terminal (recovery mode) here wont recognize my usb harddrive..
[08:23] <davin> Dremth: dont say I didnt warn you though, resizing Windows is risky
[08:23] <stealg> tnks Healot
[08:23] <Healot> it is not frustrating if you actuall knows what to do :)
[08:23] <Abst> Bennedetto: Ubuntu does not come with commercial formats, DVD is commercial.
[08:23] <Bennedetto> i know
[08:24] <Abst> I watch dvds every day on Ubuntu, just need to get it set up first
[08:24] <trakz> Dremth: back up before you screw around with partitions
[08:24] <davin> trakz, Dremth: exactly
[08:24] <Bennedetto> i have 3 applications installed with dvd support, none of which are working
[08:24] <davin> Bennedetto: try easyubuntu
[08:24] <Abst> Bennedetto: You can't just install Gxine, you need the codecs too
[08:25] <infidel> Abst: how did you set it up, i always get error when trying to watch a dvd
[08:25] <Bennedetto> i have the codecs installed
[08:25] <davin> can somenoe help me with my usb harddrive problem?
[08:25] <ubuntu-novice> Speaking of watching DVD I was seeing flickering lines in full-screen mode in any DVD player that I used.  I have still not installed my nVidia drivers.  Could that be the reason?  I don't see flickering lines in non-full screen mode.
[08:25] <Bennedetto> davin: i dont need to run easyubuntu, i know how to use linux
[08:25] <trakz> Bennedetto: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[08:25] <Bennedetto> i'm just frustrated with dvds!
[08:25] <davin> Bennedetto: okay, sorry
[08:25] <Bennedetto> np
[08:25] <Abst> infidel: what error
[08:26] <davin> Bennedetto: though easyubuntu installs like every dvd codec on earth
[08:26] <Bennedetto> that would be nice
[08:26] <Bennedetto> i just want a package that does that
[08:26] <infidel> Abst: it opens the dvd but says an't read the file
[08:26] <davin> Bennedetto: also mp3, flash, java, etc
[08:26] <davin> Bennedetto: google it
[08:26] <Abst> infidel: I used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats and I did 'How to make things work in a hurry'. Installed every package. Also try Easyubuntu, which I didnt use.
[08:26] <trakz> Bennedetto: Doesn't automatix do just that?
[08:26] <AnAnt> I need to print a PDF file, but I need to rescale it to be able to print 2 or 4 pages on a single page, how can I do that ?
[08:27] <Dremth> i have another question... i have another computer i want to install ubuntu on but it only has 128 mb of ram... is there a way i can make it work with just 128 mb of ram??
[08:27] <infidel> Abst: what is easyubuntu
[08:27] <Dremth> it usually freezes when i try to boot
[08:27] <Abst> !easyubuntu
[08:27] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[08:27] <Healot> Dremth: get xubuntu
[08:28] <davin> terminal wont recognize usb harddrive..
[08:28] <Dremth> i thought it was still in betas
[08:28] <infidel> Abst: ok thanks
[08:28] <Bennedetto> trakz: i didnt give automatix a try yet
[08:28] <davin> Bennedetto: automatix is very alpha, it broke most users' systems, so be careful
[08:28] <Lilandra> hi, if i had ubuntu-desktop, and i wanted to get rid of all that and whatever goes with it and just get what would come with the server install, what meta package would i need?
[08:29] <trakz> Bennedetto: Try it, worked great for me. YMMV
[08:29] <Bennedetto> well, im following the wiki, and it had me run a shell script
[08:29] <Abst> sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gxine libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecs w32codecs
[08:29] <Bennedetto> so thats was 'hopefully' all i needed
[08:29] <Abst> Should get dvds working ._.
[08:29] <davin> Abst: or just use easyubuntu :]
[08:29] <Abst> Hehe
[08:29] <Abst> I know
[08:30] <davin> Terminal doesnt show usb harddrive when fdisk -l?
[08:30] <factotum> so, is it me or is the web slowly turning into nothing but rounded corner boxes and Trebuchet fonts of the same articles recycled over and over again?
[08:30] <der0b> following the restrictedformats page is great, it get's you what you need and you get to do a little via the command line.  it's not a lot of work and you get to 'do it yourself'
[08:31] <davin> der0b: yep, thats the fun part of linux
[08:31] <davin> fatotum: depends on what sites you go on ;p
[08:31] <factotum> hehe
[08:31] <Bennedetto> YAY!
[08:31] <trakz> except when updates break compiz... sob!
[08:31] <Bennedetto> it works!
[08:31] <davin> Bennedetto: I love it when that happens
[08:31] <der0b> personally, I'd skip easy ubuntu and automatix and just follow the guides.  you know exactly what you're installing
[08:31] <Bennedetto> trakz: lol, compiz is my next step
[08:32] <davin> someone help me with my harddisk already
[08:32] <Abst> der0b: I agree
[08:32] <talon> how do you install openoffice 2.0.4/2.0.3 on ubuntu?
[08:32] <trakz> Bennedetto: it's busted (at the moment)
[08:32] <Bennedetto> thats why i switched to ubuntu, i was tired of fighting with it in gentoo
[08:32] <tortho> Need help with mounting a mobile phones 2GB memory stick..http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23045
[08:32] <Abst> !Patience

[08:32] <davin> Hm
[08:32] <Bennedetto> well, i wont be giving it a try for a couple of days, so hopefully its fixed by then
[08:32] <davin> Anyway fdisk -l wont show up my usb harddrive where my backup is stored so im stuck at this command line irssi
[08:32] <talon> how do you install openoffice 2.0.4/2.0.3 on ubuntu?
[08:33] <Bennedetto> im also going to be using aiglx, as it supposedly works better on my hardware

[08:34] <paradizelost> hey, in xchat-gnome, if i right click in the input bar at the bottom, it closes the program
[08:34] <poetra> somebody can solve my problems
[08:34] <OrionUser> Anyone feel like doing linmodem help tonight?  I'm near exhausted on trying to install my agere.
[08:35] <talon> how do you compile openoffice?
[08:35] <der0b> davin: I haven't had the problem you're having, but enter dmesg at the prompt.  see what it tells you about the drive.  it may give you a dev name that you can then mount
[08:35] <davin> hey it worked yay
[08:35] <Bennedetto> OMG, my sound control buttons work! OMG!!! Ubuntu just went up a notch in my books!
[08:35] <davin> der0b: it works now, thanks

[08:36] <davin> der0b: hang on
[08:36] <der0b> so I actually gave good advice (fishing for acknowledgment here)
[08:36] <Muteki> To have a partition read by windows it has to be formatted in either fat16 or fat32 right? vfat doesn't work?

[08:37] <der0b> correct
[08:37] <der0b> what fs is it?
[08:37] <davin> ext3

[08:41] <tortho> trakz: i dont have ir:-( but thatks for reply
[08:41] <davin> der0b: okay, well i used if=/dev/sda3 of=/media/usbdisk/backup/image, and the guy from yesterday told me to reverse it if i wanted to restore, gonna try that now, hang on
[08:41] <diana> I can't get any videos to play with totem or mplayer, I think it's the libxv1 not sure if it's just me or all edgy users.
[08:41] <diana> Can anyone confirm this bug?
[08:41] <meathead> I run ubuntu at home, but can someone recommend a version of linux that I can run on my old 366mHz laptop?
[08:41] <der0b> talon: I would just wait until the ubuntu team releases the latest version..  when did 2.04 come out?
[08:41] <diana> meathead: damn small linux
[08:41] <PyroticShadow> meathead, DSL
[08:42] <peter_> I run centos on an old pentium2
[08:42] <tortho> diana, didn't you post in ubuntu+1 saying that you are running edgy?!?
[08:42] <diana> tortho: yes
[08:42] <talon> last week?
[08:42] <Muteki> If i format a 250 gb hdd in fat32 in one partition will windows have an issue finding it if its across a network?
[08:42] <ryctor> man samba
[08:43] <Caplain> heyall
[08:43] <OrionUser> Well, I can see this is one busy forum.  You all have a good night and thanks for those of you who know who are sharing with us who don't!
[08:43] <nalpha> guys please help me donkz... how to copy cd to cd in ubuntu using one cd-rw...?
[08:43] <der0b> talon: the openoffice site is still linking to 2.0.3
[08:43] <talon> whats a faster and safer file server nfs or samba?
[08:43] <TEN> etla55 I've gut the same problem even after removing all other Modes from /etc/X11/xorg.conf - one reason could be that no DCC detection of the monitor is possible during startup (e.g. because it is behind a KVM switch) - it tends to sort itself out after restarting X via Ctrl-Alt-Backspace but that's not a solution IMHO.
[08:43] <Caplain> im thinking of switching from windows xp professional to ubuntu linux
[08:43] <Healot> Muteki: you can format the whole disk with FAT32
[08:43] <ashik> Please help me running CVS
[08:43] <Caplain> advice?
[08:43] <TEN> s/gut/got of course
[08:43] <talon> go to the p2p downloads...
[08:43] <meathead> I'm running DSL on it now, the only problem with that is that most people use it as a bootable live cd and there isn't much you can do with it that isn't on the cd
[08:43] <Healot> the limit is 32GB i think
[08:43] <Muteki> :O
[08:44] <PyroticShadow> Caplain, Just do it, ;).
[08:44] <Caplain> i remember when 32GB was alot
[08:44] <Muteki> well thats just great
[08:44] <der0b> talon: it's calling 2.0.4 rc1 (which is a release candidate)
[08:44] <Caplain> well i want to...but im afraid
[08:44] <der0b> I would wait until it's stable
[08:44] <Muteki> thank you very much healot
[08:44] <Healot> s/can/can't
[08:44] <Muteki> (^_^)d
[08:44] <TEN> etla55 On the Live CD there should also be an F key to force a specific resolution
[08:44] <talon> yup...how do you install it?
[08:44] <Caplain> i use so many windows apps and games
[08:44] <ryctor> afraid?
[08:44] <der0b> is there some funtionality you need that's in that version?
[08:45] <Caplain> no more vice city or solitare! no more viruses either
[08:45] <ryctor> you can always dual boot or emulate windows
[08:45] <PyroticShadow> Caplain, you can play solitaire on Ubuntu :P
[08:45] <nalpha> guys i'm connect my ftp server using nautilus and save the password.. how to change the password because everytime i create new connection with the same ftp server nautilus directly input the old password.. i want to chagne it.. how?
[08:45] <PyroticShadow> Caplain, and some Windows games work better in Linux, than on Windows itself, through Wine, ;).
[08:45] <der0b> talon: I have no idea, I haven't compiled openoffice.  best of luck though
[08:45] <A-L-P-H-A> I'm using edgy, and I can't seem to open a terminal from gnome.  What should I do to debug?  I'm currently reinstalling gnome terminal, to see if that will help.
[08:45] <Muteki> whoa ok nvm i got a correction if its windows formatting then 32 is the limit otherwise forums say its good till 2 TB
[08:45] <Flannel> A-L-P-H-A: #ubuntu+1
[08:45] <Caplain> ahhh wine...it supports directx etc?
[08:45] <PyroticShadow> Caplain, which games do you normally play, on windows, I'll letcha know if you canp robably play them on Linux, as well.
[08:46] <A-L-P-H-A> Flannel: k
[08:46] <talon> its available in RPM version.....if i convert it.... it might break my system....
[08:46] <meathead> Caplain: cedega supports directx. wine doesn't really.
[08:46] <Caplain> PyroticShadow, vice city, postal 2, half life, unreal tournament
[08:46] <Lilandra> hi
[08:46] <Lilandra> is Xorg stuff just for graphics?
[08:46] <Caplain> cedega?
[08:47] <smoked1> I dont remember who told me to edit /etc/pmount.allow but when I did myh card redaer instantly worked after reboot. I didnt think that it would work but it did. Much thanks to this person
[08:47] <ryctor> stick with windows
[08:47] <der0b> it might indeed.  which is why I think it's best to wait for the final version.  if it's security related you can be sure the ubuntu team will package it
[08:47] <Lilandra> so if i had ubuntu and i wanted to unintall the desktop environment and only wanted text would that be ok?
[08:47] <smoked1> anyone remember who it was?
[08:47] <TEN> Recommendations for a Cisco-client tolerant IPSEC server app on Ubuntu?
[08:47] <PyroticShadow> UT2004, Plays in Linux, I'm pretty sure, Caplain I'm not sure of the others, though, most likely Half life, would be able to work, and Cedega works great, but, you have to pay
[08:47] <talon> can i use gnome 2.16 in dapper????anyone???
[08:47] <Flannel> talon: no
[08:47] <Caplain> Lilandra, thats how gentoo users go
[08:48] <Lilandra> go? i am confused
[08:48] <smoked1> if they have a paypal account I will send them what I can for the help
[08:48] <talon> why not....compiled from source?
[08:48] <meathead> Caplain: to be perfectly honest, DON'T GAME IN LINUX.
[08:48] <A-L-P-H-A> talon, you "can", but not as a package.
[08:48] <Lilandra> caplain?
[08:48] <A-L-P-H-A> talon, it's not backported.
[08:48] <talon> how?
[08:48] <talon> have u tried it?
[08:48] <A-L-P-H-A> talon: follow the gnome install instructions.
[08:48] <Caplain> pay?
[08:48] <Caplain> hmmmm
[08:48] <Caplain> whats linux good for then other than server apps?
[08:48] <smoked1> I will have to heep notes next time so that I can comensate people that are deserved
[08:48] <Lilandra> o dear
[08:48] <A-L-P-H-A> talon: I'm on edgy... so no.
[08:49] <PyroticShadow> meathead, gaming in linux, is almost better than gaming on windows, because the success of getting a game to work wonderfully in Linux, is enjoyable in itself, let alone kicking major arse, at Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, which is already native to linux, c'mon, that's worth the trouble!.
[08:49] <der0b> caplain: i use it for my every day desktop.
[08:49] <talon> i tried garnome...after everything was done....nothing happened....
[08:49] <rogue_boy> i made a guide for linux ubuntu and windows xp home for the acer aspire 5000 series
[08:49] <der0b> I don't game though
[08:49] <rogue_boy> http://www.notebookforums.com/post2390904.html#post2390904
[08:49] <PyroticShadow> Caplain, learning, knowledge, safety, and FUN!
[08:49] <rogue_boy> should i migrate it to ubuntu forums too?
[08:50] <Caplain> meathead, well is it possible? cuase i just told a guy i like that gaming is perfectly fun in linux, now im gonna look like afool
[08:50] <talon> any body here knows how to use garnome?
[08:51] <smoked1> I am a regular FreeBSD user and I have many servers but when I go to a FreeBSD channel for help I am insulted. I came here for help and I got suggest
[08:51] <smoked1> ed solutions
[08:51] <ryctor> i use freebsd
[08:51] <Dremth> well... thanks for all your help everyone. im gonna let this xubuntu iso download, look for a blank cd, and go to bed (X_X)
[08:51] <ryctor> what is teh prob?
[08:51] <Caplain> PyroticShadow, learning, knowledge, saftey, and FUN doesnt get you laid though...does it?
[08:51] <Dremth> c ya
[08:51] <trakz> smoked1: that's 'cause ubuntu people rawk!
[08:51] <sasuke> !offtopic
[08:51] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:52] <smoked1> trakz: I think they might
[08:52] <Caplain> damnit i want steak
[08:52] <sethk> smoked1, if you reverse that pmount thing, you'll find that it still mounts.
[08:52] <PyroticShadow> Caplain, True enough, Yes.
[08:52] <PyroticShadow> Caplain, but, nonetheless, offtopic talk, goes to #ubuntu-offtopic, please and thanks, :)
[08:52] <trakz> smoked1:I found that most other distros have a very pretentious (sic?) following...
[08:52] <smoked1> wow
[08:53] <smoked1> amazing
[08:53] <sasuke> does anybody have any problems with sound on ubuntu
[08:53] <sasuke> ?
[08:53] <PyroticShadow> sasuke, such as?
[08:53] <sasuke> in the start bar (where the time is) it has a speaker with a mute sign over it
[08:54] <smoked1> sethk: Are you the one that made the suggestion?
[08:54] <trakz> sasuke:can't your right click on it and un-mute it? :-)
[08:54] <Caplain> lol okay
[08:54] <ryctor> the thing is people using freebsd expect you to read, if you dont want to read and instead prefer to ask already answered questions in the fbsd handbook, you will get the well deserver rtfm...
[08:54] <Caplain> ill go to #wireless then, everything there is #distro-offtopic
[08:54] <Caplain> lol
[08:55] <wastrel> !rtfm
[08:55] <ubotu> Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[08:55] <sasuke> trakz it says mute or open up volume control panel
[08:55] <sasuke> clicking on volume control panel gives me an error
[08:55] <smoked1> I just want to send a few bucks to the man that resovled my issue] \
[08:56] <trakz>  sasuke: what's the error?
[08:56] <diana> I can't watch videos with libxv1 for some reason. When I play any video(even the nelson mandela.ogg) I get black screen and the audio works fine.  I'm just going to test my notification settings.
[08:58] <wastrel> Enselic:  sorry, no
[08:58] <wastrel> oops
[08:58] <Enselic> Works great, thanks :)
[08:58] <smoked1> ] \---: You have a small penis
[08:59] <diana> DBO: any idea about libxv1?
[08:59] <smoked1> SORRY :9i
[09:00] <DBO> diana, are you running xgl or aiglx?
[09:00] <smoked1> I just thought that it was funny
[09:00] <diana> DBO: aiglx
[09:00] <DBO> diana, that might be the cause, try configuring mplayer (in its preferences) to us gl2 for its output
[09:00] <smoked1> It seems that funnt is not something that peeps do here
[09:01] <DBO> smoked1, we do that in #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support
[09:01] <diana> DBO: What would that look like? mplayer -fs -vo gl2 file?
[09:01] <smoked1> DBO, sorry about that
[09:01] <diana> DBO: What about totem mplayer video files?(for my gf who doesn't like cli)
[09:01] <smoked1> DBO, I understand
[09:02] <DBO> diana, no, just open gmplayer and right click on it and select preferences, you will see the setting in there
[09:02] <DBO> diana, totem should have a similar counterpart to make that setting
[09:03] <TEN> smoked1 Hi again & thanx for the hints on the Cisco VPN client. Couldn't find an option for MTU/packet size/fragmentation in there, and anyway none out of three non-Cisco servers seems to like its packets (i.e. probably broken, even tried a LAN cable connection). Any recommendations on a "Cisco-tolerant" server app to use on Ubuntu instead?
[09:03] <diana> DBO: Do you know where the totem setting is?
[09:03] <DBO> diana, no, sorry
[09:04] <trakz>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[09:05] <smoked1> TEN: I just installed VPNC and I will be trying that with my firewall tomarrow.
[09:05] <diana> DBO: Why doesn't libxv1 work? Because of aiglx? How can I turn off aiglx and try to use libxv1?
[09:05] <DBO> diana, are you a dapper use or an edgy user?
[09:05] <smoked1> TEN: If I come up with anything new I will let you know
[09:06] <diana> DBO: edgy
[09:06] <DBO> diana, just disable aiglx in your xorg.conf
[09:07] <smoked1> TEN: I just moved from Winbloze to Ubuntu last night so I still ha model t .what model number is your firewall?ve much to learn but I am an avid FreeBSD user with much experience so I am sure that we will figure this out. What
[09:08] <smoked1> model number is your firewall?
[09:09] <Ademan> what's the difference between the 686 kernel and the 686 kernel image? is one for like vmware or something?
[09:09] <diana> DBO: no, I turned off aiglx and no go on video still. DBO how can I get a list of packages I have installed on my system, so when I format with edgy, I can see what I need to get to make my system like itwas.
[09:10] <DBO> diana, did you restart X?
[09:10] <diana> DBO yes, I'm using irssi+screen
[09:10] <smoked1> I have to go. you all have a good night and thank you to those that spend time helping people like me.
[09:10] <smoked1> :)
[09:11] <DBO> diana, have you reinstalled libxv1?
[09:11] <diana> DBO: yep, I did sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxv1
[09:11] <DBO> diana, I would go ask in #ubuntu+1 also, since technically edgy is handled there
[09:11] <bobby> helpp
[09:11] <DBO> !helpme
[09:11] <bobby> anyone??
[09:11] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:11] <diana> DBO: then I did apt-get build-dep libxv1; apt-get source libxv1; cd libxv1*; ./configure; make; make install;
[09:12] <diana> DBO: both did not work.
[09:12] <diana> DBO: Everything on my edgy system works except video/libxv1. I think it's because I upgraded from dapper. no one in ubuntu+1 has these problems. I have /home on a separate partition so I'm going to do a format with the latest edgy build.
[09:13] <DBO> diana, im not sure, sorry
[09:13] <diana> DBO: Where can I download the latest edgy build?(something more new then knot2, are there nightlies?)
[09:13] <DBO> not really no
[09:13] <Burgundavia> diana: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[09:14] <TEN> smoked1 Firewall isn't actually mine but ancient InJoy stuff my "hosts" got from fx.dk ages ago, actually on OS/2 in the current location. Anyway it looks like I could tweak it to dump packets to a log file if need be - but now that an expert is facing the same problem I'd probably better just wait for a day... ;-) "TIA" then and good luck in figuring this out :-)
[09:14] <diana> DBO: How can I get a list of additional software I installed that didn't come with the dapper installer? So it's easier to get my system back to the way it was.
[09:14] <diana> thanks Burgundavia
[09:14] <DBO> diana, as far as I know, you cant...
[09:15] <diana> DBO: I can always dpkg -al &> packages.list; or cat /var/log/dpkg.log; but I was wondering if there was something more easy then that.
[09:15] <Burgundavia> diana: you can, just a sec
[09:15] <DBO> well you can obviously get a list of what you have installed
[09:15] <Burgundavia> there is a way to move your package list to another computer
[09:16] <raghu206> do some one know how to configure wine
[09:16] <diana> I can just dpkg -al &> list.txt; on my old system, then dpkg -al >> list.txt on my new system...
[09:16] <diana> then cat list.txt|awk '{ print $2 }'|uniq
[09:16] <diana> That'll work
[09:18] <diana> uniq -u
[09:18] <diana> rather

[09:33] <fredl> I have dpkg --purge'd acroread-plugins and mozilla-acroread, removed ~/.mozilla and reinstalled those two packages. When I click on a PDF from my browser it opens up acroread in an external window. How do I make it display the PDF in the browser?
[09:34] <waveline> Please bare with my screen messages....trying use this...client, its all command line
[09:34] <Enselic> Ok, then my assumtion that you used Konversation was wrong :)
[09:34] <TEN> Having debianized and installed the current Sun JDK, how do I "officially" (i.e. via dpkg etc.) make the Java *plugin* known to Firefox?
[09:34] <bobby> yeah..
[09:35] <bobby> :(
[09:35] <bobby> wht to do ??
[09:35] <meathead> copy it to the plugins folder?
[09:35] <fredl> TEN - that's a good question. I would like to find out myself which plugins firefox *knows* about as well.
[09:35] <Flannel> !tell TEN about java
[09:36] <waveline> can someone message me directly so I may test something
[09:36] <fredl> can one broken plugin prevent firefox from loading the others in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins?
[09:36] <TEN> meathead Or just symlink it from there, sure (what's upsetting about this BTW?). I just thought there'd be a standard way via package management.
[09:36] <Flannel> TEN: sun-java5-plugin
[09:37] <fredl> dpkg: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so not found.
[09:37] <fredl> so I do have that file on my filesystem but it doesn't belong to any package Hmmm
[09:38] <Flannel> fredl: did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java ?
[09:39] <fredl> Flannel - no, I'm trying to find out why my acroread plugin doesn't work and therefore checking what's in the plugin directory.
[09:39] <fredl> Flannel, so I don't have a problem with the java plugin although it might be *causing* my problems.
[09:40] <waveline> can everyone see this
[09:41] <TEN> Flannel https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java is of course assuming the plugin to come in yet a different package, rather than as part of the JDK
[09:42] <Flannel> TEN: right.  and it tells you which package.
[09:43] <PeanutHorst> well that sucks
[09:44] <PeanutHorst> i just tried to start the Ubuntu disc on my pc - this is the config
[09:44] <jhasse> how can i turn of the ubuntu logo at linux startup?
[09:44] <fredl> I have dpkg --purge'd acroread-plugins and mozilla-acroread, removed ~/.mozilla and reinstalled those two packages. When I click on a PDF from my browser it opens up acroread in an external window. How do I make it display the PDF in the browser?

[09:45] <PeanutHorst> comes up with an error about acpi
[09:45] <PeanutHorst> oh and hi fildo, I live very close to you :)
[09:46] <waveline> Does anyone else here use a console client
[09:46] <fredl> PeanutHorst, acpi may be turned off in your BIOS.
[09:46] <drumline> what's the longest filename that could be used on the ext3 file system?   Is it any longer with Reiser?
[09:47] <PeanutHorst> fredl: wtf? i don't think my computer HAS acpi
[09:47] <PeanutHorst> can i pass custom parameters to the kernel?
[09:47] <fredl> PeanutHorst, so ignore the error or search google for noacpi
[09:47] <PeanutHorst> ideally, nousb and noacpi ?
[09:47] <fredl> yes
[09:47] <PeanutHorst> fredl: the error brings the thing to a halt
[09:48] <fredl> oh that's bad... I've seen the error but it never halted my system
[09:48] <fredl> PeanutHorst, you can boot from a CD, mount the filesystem and add the -noacpi to the GRUB config?

[09:58] <Flannel> Sgeo_: doesn't opera offer their own repository?
[09:59] <RMorris84> im having trouble with a drive.. i bought a 3.5" usb hd case and put an old 40 gig in it for backups and such well i went to format it to a fat32, and it says unable to write disk label in gparted

[10:03] <Gevaudan82> Hello all...I just installed tight vnc server and things work fine for the most part however it doesn't seem to start at boot time...i checked /etc/init.d and there was nothing alluding to tight vnc or vnc...if i run /usr/bin/vncserver then all is well...what's the best way to enable tight vnc at boot?
[10:03] <izm99> RMorris84, have you tried removing all partitions, etc?
[10:04] <wthww> how do you make your xserver accept remote connections?
[10:04] <RMorris84> izm99: there is none its an old windows disk thats already a fat32 i just want to reformat it, its showing up on my desktop when i plug it up
[10:04] <izm99> wthww, I think it does by default, no?  code:  ssh -X user@host
[10:05] <izm99> or something like that.
[10:05] <JhonnyB> hi everybody
[10:05] <Gevaudan82> you need openssh-server if you are using ubuntu
[10:05] <wthww> ...
[10:05] <wthww> i dont want ssh
[10:05] <cerverx27> Hey, I'm considering moving to Ubuntu and would like to communicate with someone about making a swtich from a Windows Environment, to a Linux distribution.
[10:05] <fredl> yes you do.
[10:05] <wthww> i just want to use this xterminal i have
[10:05] <JhonnyB> can anyone tell me where can i get help for knoppix?
[10:06] <cerverx27> If anyone is interested in discussing this with me, please message me.
[10:06] <izm99> JhonnyB, try #knoppix ?
[10:06] <RMorris84> cerverx27: are u registered to get pms?
[10:07] <hockyhair> any ops alive?
[10:07] <DarkMageZ> RMorris84, cerverx27 is not registered according to the whois
[10:07] <DBO> hockyhair?
[10:07] <RMorris84> DarkMageZ: how do u register
[10:07] <JhonnyB> no one talks there
[10:08] <cerverx27> pms?
[10:08] <DarkMageZ> cerverx27, private messages. unregsitered users cannot normally message registered users on this network
[10:09] <nekostar> mmm
[10:09] <nekostar> i seem to have trouble porting under ubuntu for some reason.....
[10:09] <cerverx27> So to register for this network I type /register and then my name right?
[10:09] <nekostar> is there some default firewall ?
[10:09] <izm99> RMorris84, try first removing the existing partition (assuming there's no important data) and creating a new single fat32 partition.  I think windows created fat32 partitions are slightly different than linux formatted fat32 partitions, somehow.  I remember having label problems
[10:09] <DarkMageZ> cerverx27, /msg nickserv help
[10:10] <Gevaudan82> nekostar: you have iptables but it has no configuration
[10:10] <RMorris84> cerverx27: PMs sorry u have to be registered to send messages to people
[10:10] <cerverx27> I have noticed this.  I need to register.
[10:11] <RMorris84> izm99: theres no partitions to remove
[10:11] <JJman100> I have a question on setting up a USB hard drive. can anyone help?
[10:12] <JJman100> i have an mp3 player with 20gig hd which I can see in windows and ubuntu. however, with the usb drive, it I format in windows I can not access in linux, any ideas?
[10:13] <Gevaudan82> jjman100: ntfs or fat?
[10:13] <JJman100> ntfs
[10:13] <JhonnyB> i desprately need help
[10:13] <JJman100> windows xp
[10:13] <izm99> RMorris84, i believe you need a partition before you can format it, even if there's only one....  but not 100% sure on "terminology"
[10:14] <Gevaudan82> jjman:see the section concerning ntfs: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[10:14] <JJman100> yes, it is partitioned and effectivley can 'see' the drive in linux but 'permission denied' messages coem back when trying to access
[10:14] <JJman100> I can not change them
[10:14] <JhonnyB> anyone here can help with knoppix?
[10:15] <JJman100> thanks, will take a look
[10:15] <cerverx27> I just registered I think.
[10:16] <cerverx27> Do I need to re-login?
[10:18] <RMorris84> cerverx27: i duno i just registered myself
[10:19] <cerverx27> Hmm.  I think I just need to register a nickname but do you do so the same way you register a password.

[10:50] <JoseStefan> Phuzion: that's weird the mysql-server-5.0 package should exist too
[10:51] <Jowi> anyone's using rox-filer with the session manager and panel?
[10:51] <JoseStefan> Phuzion: and it's on 'main'
[10:52] <VoiceOvGod> Does anyone her have Compiz working on an AMD 64?
[10:54] <Jowi> I'm missing some applets in rox-filer. For example I do not have a clock or exit session. is the package in the repos incomplete?
[11:01] <mooky> ok all, here is the nice long paste containing debugging info. I've got a monitor that is capable of a higher resolution than Xorg is starting, the monitor is detected at a higher resolution, but xorg decides to downgrade it as it can't find a supported mode. I'm using the nvidia binary driver. This paste contains the xorg.conf, the error log containing the warnings about downgrading, the output of ddcprobe, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23047 the monit
[11:03] <nekostar> mookid,
[11:03] <nekostar> er
[11:03] <nekostar> mooky,
[11:03] <mooky> yes
[11:03] <nekostar> did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:03] <mooky> yes
[11:03] <nekostar> and did you then set that for a higher resolution?
[11:03] <nekostar> because it appears that its set for only 1280
[11:03] <mooky> I set the optimal resolution for the monitor
[11:04] <Jowi> mooky: LCD or CRT?
[11:04] <nekostar>                 Modes           "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[11:04] <mooky> the monitor should run at 1280x1024
[11:04] <nekostar> what is it running at
[11:04] <mooky> Jowi: LCD
[11:04] <mooky> 1024x786
[11:04] <Jowi> mooky: comment out the HorizSync line in xorg.conf. set the VertRefresh to 60 and see if that help.
[11:05] <mooky> testing
[11:05] <Rico> Do you even need to specify horiz/vert values if DPMS is on?
[11:05] <mooky> oops
[11:05] <mooky> sorry
[11:05] <Jowi> mooky: sometimes the configurator for Xorg "helpfully" add a horizsync even though an LCD don't use it.
[11:05] <mooky> wrong box
[11:06] <nekostar> heh
[11:06] <smacky_wolf> How can I fool my system into thinking that a folder is actually my CD drive, cdrom0?
[11:06] <nekostar> someone show him screen
[11:06] <det> I have a computer with a wired internet connection and a wireless card unused. Can I configure the wireless card to be a gateway for my notebook to the wired internet connection?
[11:06] <nekostar> :P
[11:06] <Drako60> why can i mount my harddrives under the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel but not <IP_ADDRESS> with the error mount: /dev/hda1 already mounted or /media/sda1 busy
[11:06] <nekostar> smacky_wolf, thats fairly easy
[11:06] <cvt> how do i determine if a hd is ntfs?
[11:06] <nekostar> mount the folder to /media/cdrom0
[11:06] <smacky_wolf> nekostar, I tried mucking with fstab, but ti just whined about the folder not being a block device
[11:07] <lupine_85> cvt: try mounting it -t ntfs and see what happens :)
[11:07] <nekostar> cvt, gparted also works good
[11:07] <nekostar> :D
[11:07] <mooky> sorry about that
[11:07] <nekostar> smacky_wolf, yes i understand
[11:07] <NineTeen67Comet> hi all .. had an issue with rebooting/shutting down for a few weeks now .. My computer simply stops at "Will Reboot Now" or "Will Hault Now" .. but nothing more ..
[11:07] <mooky> bounced the wrong box
[11:07] <nekostar> ignore fstab part
[11:07] <mooky> ok - just going to test the updated config
[11:07] <mooky> that Jowi suggested
[11:08] <nekostar> smacky_wolf, what is the filesystem? et3 ?
[11:08] <nekostar> *ext3
[11:08] <smacky_wolf> ext3, yarr
[11:08] <nekostar> yeah ok
[11:08] <nekostar> sudo mount -t ext3 /some/folder /media/cdrom0
[11:08] <nekostar> try that
[11:08] <smacky_wolf> ahah <3
[11:08] <nekostar> <3
[11:09] <nekostar> i mounted a folder setup for dvd once to test lol
[11:09] <smacky_wolf> hr,m. It's not a block device.
[11:09] <nekostar> same error?
[11:09] <nekostar> one sec i had a solution..
[11:09] <nekostar> lemme mount something real quick.. gimme minute
[11:09] <mooky> Jowi: no difference
[11:09] <smacky_wolf> make the folder into an ISO and mount it loopback somehow?
[11:10] <mooky> still sets the mode ro 102x768
[11:10] <Jowi> mooky: either a) your monitor does not support it or b) your driver is not working as it should or c) if the Modes line in xorg.conf only contain "1280x1024" does it work then?
[11:11] <smacky_wolf> All I need to do is somehow mount disc 5 for HL2 to cdrom0
[11:11] <Jowi> for the selected depth of course
[11:11] <smacky_wolf> because my drive can't read it for some idiotic reason

[11:12] <mooky> Jowi: monitor supports it - works in windows, and other distros with xorg 7/nvidia binary driver. Driver is x86_64 - so it could be not working as expected, but it shouldn't be. c.) modeline only 1280x1024 - xserver fails to start
[11:12] <mooky> Jowi: used the fix resolution wiki page
[11:12] <mooky> didn't really do much
[11:12] <mooky> it just explains how to run dpkg-reconfigure for x
[11:13] <Jowi> mooky: does the nvidia driver that ubuntu is shipped with work with that resolution?
[11:13] <mooky> when you say the nvidia driver thats shipped with ubuntu - do you mean the binary nvidia or the nv driver ?
[11:13] <cvt> what do i do if i don't see the third line on 2. Configuration here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009&highlight=ntfs-3g
[11:13] <cvt> ?//
[11:13] <Jowi> mooky: no idea, i don't have nvidia here. :) does it work with the vesa driver?
[11:14] <mooky> not tried vesa actually
[11:14] <mooky> and FYI: I'm using the nvidia binary driver shipped with ubuntu
[11:14] <Jowi> mooky: if vesa works at least we know where the prob lies
[11:14] <mooky> testing
[11:14] <mooky> good call
[11:15] <cvt> how do i "create a directory where to mount your ntfs"?
[11:15] <Healot> mkdir :0
[11:15] <Drako60> why can i mount my harddrives under the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel but not <IP_ADDRESS> with the error mount: /dev/hda1 already mounted or /media/sda1 busy
