[03:01] <tpocket> hi guys I got a question about installing hadry heron on a new computer
[03:01] <herrkin> also did some other stuff I cant remember..
[03:01] <cdm10> tpocket: ask away
[03:01] <sn9_> tpocket: yes, you should install it
[03:02] <theacolyte> sn9_: Ah, that's not exactly what I mean. I mean, if I download the NVIDIA drivers using the Ubuntu Restricted application, will it install the *NVIDIA* control panel
[03:02] <tpocket> well I have it on a bootable usb stick and a cd
[03:02] <tpocket> i couldn't figure out how to get it to install off the stick
[03:02] <tech0007> tpocket: use the CD then
[03:02] <tpocket> but on the cd when I chose install it took me to this busybox thing
[03:03] <sn9_> herrkin: radeon x800 should "just work" out-of-the-box on hardy
[03:03] <tech0007> tpocket: did u try the liveCD?
[03:03] <snarkster> tpocket: unsupported video card.
[03:03] <herrkin> I install fglrx drivers and then the monitor blacks out
[03:03] <tpocket> :/
[03:03] <sn9_> herrkin: do NOT use fglrx
[03:03] <snarkster> herrkin unsupported resolution
[03:03] <herrkin> I have to enter recovery mode to configure vesa drivrs
[03:03] <noobalert> say what was the name of that old xwindows program with the santa and the snow
[03:03] <herrkin> how I configure max resolution?
[03:04] <sn9_> herrkin: just leave things as they are in a fresh install -- no fglrx and no vesa
[03:04] <noobalert> oh
[03:04] <noobalert> xsnow
[03:04] <snarkster> noobalert: snow i think.. or xsnow
[03:04] <noobalert> i answered my own question
[03:04] <herrkin> I did it
[03:04] <herrkin> same
[03:04] <tpocket> ... but on the usb stick it runs, the problem is that when I try to install it I only see the usb stick
[03:04] <herrkin> I installed ubuntu, then it asked me to install the driver, I acepted.. then it happens
[03:05] <herrkin> the monitor blacks out at log in screen
[03:05] <OzFalcon> Are there any flat file system solutions for linux?
[03:05] <enderbean> Is there a firewall installed in Ubuntu(Gutsy 7.1) by default, and if so how do I configure it?
[03:05] <noobalert> ok next question i am putting this putter in my room to run music, what is the best way to connect to it ssh? and what mp3 player works thru console
[03:05] <sn9_> herrkin: it wouldn't have asked out of the blue
[03:05] <ASULutzy> herrkin: I hope this doesn't have anything to do with it, but how much RAM do you have and are you using 64 bit?
[03:06] <snarkster> noobalert mp321 or mp123 works from console
[03:06] <Starnestommy> enderbean: iptables is installed by default.  firestarter is commonly used to control it
[03:06] <sn9_> herrkin: for the x800, you should leave the restricted driver DISabled
[03:06] <hlfshell> !run-level
[03:06] <herrkin> 2gb, yes I have installed both version and its same in both cases
[03:06] <hlfshell> !run level
[03:06] <snarkster> noobalert I use ssh from my sidekick all the time to my laptop to start music
[03:06] <noobalert> snark is that the best way to run a media server?
[03:06] <hlfshell> !rc
[03:06] <ASULutzy> herrkin, sn9_: Are the Radeon drivers best for x800?
[03:06] <sn9_> ASULutzy: yes
[03:06] <snarkster> noobalert not at all.. but you said console.
[03:06] <jpratt> i need help setting up virtual box i installed the package and added myself to vbox users or what ever in groups now what do i do
[03:07] <hi_> I'm havin trouble upgrading to gutsy from feisty
[03:07] <hlfshell> !runlevel
[03:07] <ASULutzy> jpratt: What error do you get when you try and run it?
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> hi_: yeah, you'll have a lot of trouble w/ that
[03:07] <snarkster> noobalert is you want media pc then install mythtv.
[03:07] <herrkin> I dont know, i use vesa drivers because it doesnt open if I install some ati drivers
[03:07] <sn9_> jpratt: log out and back in
[03:07] <noobalert> snark whats the best way, this is a p2 300mhz so i am amazed it is working
[03:07] <enderbean> Starnestommy: thanks.
[03:07] <ASULutzy> jpratt: You may still have to do sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r`
[03:07] <jetroid> !run-level | hlfshell
[03:07] <snarkster> noobalert: pm me so we can talk about it
[03:07] <hi_> It gives different errors each time lol
[03:08] <herrkin> I have installed radeon, ati and fglrx, none worked
[03:08] <thomas__> the next ubuntu release will have ati drivers embedded in the kernel, yes?
[03:08] <snarkster> herrkin maybe you have intel
[03:08] <herrkin> I do
[03:08] <v64> I have the latest Ubuntu, Firefox, and Flash, and when I go to Yahoo Live (live.yahoo.com), which is basically a Flash webcam app, the video comes in fine, but the voices sound like they're 2 octaves too low, as if they're slowed down? I couldn't find anything on Google, has this happened to anyone?
[03:08] <koolranch> Hey, cdm10? I've downloaded a bin file for the emusic player to my desktop and I tried running the same command you suggested for installing java, but it doesn't work
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> thomas__: that would be nice
[03:08] <sn9_> thomas__: no
[03:08] <herrkin> I have a pentium d 3.2ghz
[03:08] <koolranch> do you have any idea what I can do to make it install?
[03:08] <v64> it works fine for me on my Mac
[03:08] <hi_> MAybe a noob question, but who,what is ubottu?
[03:08] <v64> so I know it's not a problem with the feed
[03:09] <ASULutzy> koolranch: did you chmod +x it?
[03:09] <cdm10> koolranch: that command is only for installing packages from the Ubuntu software repositories. To install a file like a .bin file, run < sudo sh Desktop/whatever-it's-called.bin >
[03:09] <ASULutzy> hi_: He's the local bot :)
[03:09] <sn9_> v64: probably a soundcard issue
[03:09] <snarkster> hi_ ubottu is a robot to get answeres from
[03:09] <koolranch> ok
[03:09] <v64> I don't have any problems with the sound in my other flash apps, so I wasn't sure
[03:09] <koolranch> what does chomod +x do, ASUlutzy?
[03:09] <herrkin> my pc is pentiumd 3.2ghz, 2gb ram ati x800 video card
[03:09] <hi_> Oh, thanks... Any idea how i can build or generate bots like this? Is this possible?
[03:10] <ASULutzy> koolranch: you can either do chmod +x the file && /the/file/here, or you can just do sudo sh /the/path/to/thebin
[03:10] <ASULutzy> chmod +x makes a file executable
[03:10] <herrkin> everything goes fine but ati drivers
[03:10] <koolranch> ah, cool
[03:10] <koolranch> thanks
[03:10] <cthulinux> hey can someone help with a problem? i just patched up to 7.10 and now when my gui loads the images are all wavey, and if i can accually loging (can't see the prompts) the screen goes normal untill my gui fully loads then is all waves incluing the wallpaper, any clues as to the cause, fix?
[03:10] <snarkster> hi_ almost anyhting is possible but i have no clue about how to do it
[03:11] <Caponetta> hi
[03:11] <Caponetta> Hey
[03:11] <hi_> Ok, i'm like really new to IRC, can i create my own channels on different servers?
[03:11] <koolranch> hey cdm10, I got a syntax error when I tried that command
[03:11] <Caponetta> Thats nto very ubuntu related
[03:12] <ASULutzy> hi_: Just /join #randomChannelNameHere and if it's an empty server it will create it for you, but that's not ubuntu related so, here isn't really the spot for help on IRC related things
[03:12] <ASULutzy> hi_: Empty channel that is
[03:12] <nickr--> can someone help :[] i cant get out of VIM
[03:12] <herrkin> do you know any posible causes of this problem?
[03:12] <Caponetta> nickr

[03:13] <nickr--> didnt know i had to press ESC first
[03:13] <nickr--> thanks
[03:13] <hi_> OK, cool! THanks..One last question: Which is the channel wer i can get help on IRC? Thanks
[03:13] <nickr--> :}
[03:13] <amenado> tpocket-> depends on what stage of the install process
[03:13] <Painless> cthulinux: possibly a refresh rate problem with your monitor?
[03:13] <wbmj> chtulinux: It sounds like you need to lower your color depth
[03:13] <sn9_> hi_: try #freenode
[03:13] <Caponetta> i think so
[03:13] <cdm10> koolranch: can you paste the error to http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org and send me the URL?
[03:13] <tpocket> it happens whenever I try to install off the cd of check the cd for errors
[03:13] <LLMP_> dies anyone know how i could set up senors for my laptop
[03:14] <LLMP_> to see if it is burning up
[03:14] <cdm10> koolranch: to copy text from the Terminal, use ctrl-shift-C
[03:14] <hi_> THanks sn9 and others. Bye
[03:14] <koolranch> yeah, I'll do that
[03:14] <koolranch> thanks
[03:14] <cthulinux> k i will try that
[03:14] <Caponetta> llmp, your cpu shoudl have that built in. Look for programs like speedfan. (xif that works for linux)
[03:14] <cdm10> LLMP_: install the package lm_sensors, and run sensors-detect
[03:14] <ASULutzy> LLMP_: There are different things you can use, specifically for hard drives you can do sudo apt-get install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda
[03:14] <Caponetta> ty cdm :P
[03:14] <snarkster> thoiught xif was a viewer
[03:15] <herrkin> could anybody please help me solve my ati card problem?

[03:16] <LLMP_> not working
[03:16] <koolranch> I could just paste it here
[03:16] <sn9_> LLMP_: right-click the panel, and add it, if it's installed
[03:16] <cdm10> !paste | koolranch
[03:16] <koolranch> it's only a few words
[03:16] <wbmj> herrkin: Card model and driver please

[03:18] <ASULutzy> !enter | herrkin
[03:18] <cdm10> koolranch: that's weird, it looks like there's a problem with the download... try this: sudo chmod +x Desktop/emusicdlm-linux-installer.bin && Desktop/emusicdlm-linux-installer.bin
[03:18] <plik> bah, not Kcaj  just monostone
[03:18] <monostone> thanks plik
[03:18] <vaportrailnew123> whats compiz fusion do
[03:18] <Kcaj> Responsive?  When I load up ubuntu on a memory stick and try to install I only get the memory stick when it scans devices
[03:20] <Kcaj> there is no kind of ummm, like terminal command to type to make "explorer" of Lunix relaunch? Cuz it is just like Windows with Explorer stops running... no task bar, nothing
[03:20] <tpocket> does that mean my HDD isn't loading?
[03:20] <Kcaj> Impossible to uses the system
[03:20] <Jordan_U> xITz: Have you rebooted since deleting it ( if not DO NOT )
[03:21] <monostone> to remove config files as well : sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xgl
[03:21] <xITz> lol no
[03:21] <Jman> how do i enable compiz on a fresh install of ubuntu when i see that compiz is already installed in sypat i want the cube
[03:21] <xITz> i know, it completely disabled all users
[03:21] <vaportrailnew123> how do i enable compiz fusion? it seems i already have it...
[03:21] <Kcaj> Yo uget the compiz icon to manage from synaptics
[03:21] <xITz> root is dead
[03:21] <Jordan_U> xITz: Do you still have a root shell open?
[03:21] <xITz> yeah
[03:21] <Kcaj> I have a shell open, I need my task bar back :(
[03:21] <Jman> xitz
[03:21] <koolranch> awesome, it's working cdm10
[03:21] <Jman> whats the download?
[03:21] <Kcaj> Another user here has my same problem... any ideas?
[03:22] <sn9_> tpocket: do you have an older sata controller, perchance?
[03:22] <xITz> something really odd happened when i was installed plone
[03:22] <monostone> system->preferences->appearance->visual effects
[03:22] <koolranch> what is a typical place to save a file like this on Ubuntu?
[03:22] <MariachiAC> How to instaill .deb files, but from i386 arkitecture on x8664 systems?
[03:22] <Jordan_U> xITz: Do you get any output from "lsof | grep /etc/passwd" as root?
[03:22] <pdg1> Drk_Guy: but i'm wondering how I could get the .py file to be listed in the applications list... or something
[03:22] <xITz> no
[03:22] <xITz> it says no root user
[03:22] <tpocket> this is a brand new computer... offa a newer Asus motherboard
[03:22] <Jordan_U> xITz: What do you mean, what is the exact error?
[03:22] <Jman> whats the installer for rpm?
[03:22] <Drk_Guy> pdg1, Alt+F2, then alacarte, then, create a launcher where you would like it to be ;)
[03:22] <sn9_> tpocket: which motherboard chipset?
[03:22] <MariachiAC> .deb
[03:22] <Jman> whats it called from sypnat
[03:23] <Drk_Guy> !alien | Jman
[03:23] <vaportrailnew123> after i turn on extra visual effects, do i restart?
[03:23] <Jman> !alien
[03:23] <Jordan_U> xITz: I mean try running that command in the root shell you already have open
[03:23] <sn9_> tpocket: intel? nvidia?
[03:23] <tpocket> sn9_: the asus P5qe
[03:23] <noobalert> can someone help, i was install mythtv, it asked for mysql install about half way installed it said failed, i try mysql start and i get ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)     what do i do
[03:23] <xITz> yeah, i tried, its all screwy
[03:23] <xITz> i have no access to anything
[03:23] <sn9_> tpocket: does that have nvidia?
[03:23] <Jordan_U> xITz: What error did you get if any from trying to run that command?
[03:23] <Kcaj> I can't do anything, seriously... like I have no kind of "task bar"
[03:23] <vaportrailnew123> so how do i turn on comppiz fusion?
[03:24] <tpocket> yep
[03:24] <pdg1> Drk_Guy: that's fantastic... but I feel guilty being spoon fed everything... I'll try looking on google a little harder next time
[03:24] <Kcaj> vapor: I told you ,get the compiz icon from synaptics
[03:24] <Jordan_U> Kcaj: You can start programs with alt + F2
[03:24] <Kcaj> type in "compiz" and select all compiz packages you can besides the -dev ones
[03:24] <xITz> actually, its not work the trouble, im going to just backup the stuff i need with a live cd then wipe it out and clean install
[03:24] <vaportrailnew123> its called comiz icon?
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> vaportrailnew123: system/admin/appearance/visual effects tab.. set it to extra
[03:24] <vaportrailnew123> k
[03:24] <Kcaj> alt+f2 does nothing for me
[03:24] <Jordan_U> xITz: If anything still has the file open recovering it is trivial
[03:25] <sn9_> tpocket: nvidia can be a bit flakey, but if it were any other chipset, i'd say go to the bios and switch to AHCI mode
[03:25] <Drk_Guy> Dont worry pdg1, i'm looking forward to help the community
[03:25] <xxploit> vaportrailnew123, install package fusion-icon and compizconfig-settings-manager
[03:25] <Kcaj> Does this mean I mean, like what the heck happened to my system? ;_; no alt+f2 and no taskbar.
[03:25] <MariachiAC> I am not sure if someone answered my question. The think is I'm trying to install a synthesizer for speech since I'm blind.
[03:25] <MariachiAC> It woudl be better in private.
[03:25] <plik> Kcaj: did you do something to make it disappear, or did it just boot and never show?
[03:26] <IndyGunFreak> wouldn't it be better to see if he can set his appearnce options to Extra first?.. because if he has ATI, and even some intel chipsets, he's not gonna get compiz to work, so no reason to install all that.
[03:26] <ralph> never show
[03:26] <LLMP_> does anyone know how i could get senors and all thaton my wallpaper
[03:26] <Jman> kcal: download this compizconfig-settings-manager package
[03:26] <drash> LLMP_: look into conky
[03:26] <djhash> IndyGunFreak: I have ATI on all of my 3 ubuntu installations and I have compiz easily installed
[03:26] <plik> conky was an awesome episode of Trailer PArk Boys
[03:27] <sn9_> IndyGunFreak: you mean it won't work on nvidia
[03:27] <Jman> kcaj did you donwload that
[03:27] <Jman> i believe thats what your looking for
[03:27] <tpocket> sn9_: im in the bios how do i do this AHCI stuff?
[03:27] <LLMP_> ok thanx
[03:27] <plik> Jman: he's long gone
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> djhash: on some of them, there's a lot of problems w/ ATI and compiz however... white screen, etc.. it can be made to work, but i've saw many reports here w/ limited success.
[03:27] <tpocket> sn9_: nm foun d it
[03:27] <kkathman> sn9_,  to follow up with you - seems that there was something very severely wrong with my iPod - its now completely dead in fact
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> sn9_: no, compiz typically works fine w/ nvidia..
[03:27] <sn9_> tpocket: it should be in one of the pages; just look around for "IDE Mode"
[03:27] <vaportrailnew123> anyone know how to configure an intel onboard videocard?
[03:27] <Jman> quick question
[03:28] <Jman> how do i add windows to my cube?
[03:28] <sn9_> kkathman: toldya
[03:28] <Jman> i have windows as a second oS
[03:28]  * IndyGunFreak ..cough cough.
[03:28] <sn9_> IndyGunFreak: not out-of-the-box
[03:28] <kkathman> sn9_,  yeah when I put the external power on it. the display died and hasnt come back
[03:28] <djhash> IndyGunFreak:  i'm aware of all the reports.. which confuses me since the only problem I am having or ever have is that the svideo out on my laptop is a little wacky..
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> sn9_: i guess thats a matter of opinion then, i've got several boxes running nvidia devices, and they all run compiz "out of the box"
[03:29] <LLMP_> know how do i run it
[03:29] <Jman> Windows with ubuntu howto?
[03:29] <hannibal80_> руские есть ?
[03:29] <wbmj> Jman: add desktops to your switch...this will add windows to your cube
[03:29] <koolranch> hi everyone, how to a change the permission settings for /usr/local/bin?
[03:29] <xITz> jman, partition
[03:29] <Jman> thank you
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> !ru | hannibal80_
[03:29] <Jman> it is partioned
[03:29] <Jman> i have 2 os
[03:29] <vaportrailnew123> ok, installed the icon, now what
[03:29] <sn9_> IndyGunFreak: not possible; nvidia-glx is not installed by default
[03:29] <cthulinux> hey can someone help with a problem? i just patched up to 7.10 and now when my gui loads the images are all wavey, and if i can accually loging (can't see the prompts) the screen goes normal untill my gui fully loads then is all waves incluing the wallpaper, any clues as to the cause, fix? i am a newb with little skill
[03:30] <plik> koolranch: same as for anything else :  chmod
[03:30] <koolranch> plik, so I just chmod /usr/local/bin?
[03:30] <drash> LLMP_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205865 for an overview and all kinds of usefull configuration tips for conky
[03:30] <LLMP_> thanx
[03:30] <IndyGunFreak> sn9_: all i can tell you, is i just enable the restricted driver, and they work just fine w/ compiz.
[03:30] <djhash> Jman: what do you mean by windows in your cube?!
[03:30] <plik> koolranch: you probably need to read the man page first and understand what you're doing
[03:30] <Guiri> Hi. I have a package that never configures sun-java6-doc. But I can't seem to remove it so it doesn't do the dpkg config error whenever I install something
[03:30] <Guiri> how do I get rid of it?
[03:30] <sn9_> IndyGunFreak: ah, so you did have to manually add the restricted driver...
[03:30] <Jman> windows xp as a window in ubuntu
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> sn9_: no.. its usually enalbed after the install
[03:31] <koolranch> what I'm trying to do is install a program in that directory
[03:31] <koolranch> but I don't have write permission
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> thats what i'ms aying, as long as the driver is enabled, it works fine, "out of the box".
[03:31] <sn9_> IndyGunFreak: not by default, it isn't
[03:31] <djhash> Jman: you can try vmware
[03:31] <plik> koolranch: sudo mv
[03:31] <djhash> !vmware
[03:31] <Kcaj> I has corroupted packages
[03:31] <Kcaj> hw fix??
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> sn9_: ok, whatever
[03:31] <cthulinux> hey can someone help with a problem? i just patched up to 7.10 and now when my gui loads the images are all wavey, and if i can accually loging (can't see the prompts) the screen goes normal untill my gui fully loads then is all waves incluing the wallpaper, any clues as to the cause, fix? please?
[03:31] <koolranch> what does sudo mv do?
[03:31] <Kcaj>  was installing updated and system died, now I have no top or bottom bar in gnome, and can't get them back
[03:31] <sn9_> koolranch: move/rename
[03:32] <plik> gives you permission to move it there
[03:32] <Guiri> !dpkg
[03:32] <Guiri> hmm that doesn't help
[03:32] <Kcaj> some guy told me to press alt+f2, lol took me out of the system entirely and couldn't get back to gnome
[03:32] <IndyGunFreak> koolranch: doesn't really doa nything less you put some more stuff after it
[03:32] <Kcaj> I did dpkg but it said it couldn't keep running, was failed
[03:32] <koolranch> I haven't installed the file yet
[03:32] <SeveredCross> Kcaj: That's weird, Alt-F2 should've given you the "Run Application" prompt.
[03:32] <koolranch> so I don't have anything to put after the sudo mv command
[03:32] <SeveredCross> Ctrl-Alt-F2 should bring you to a VT (virtual terminal) which is probably where you got.
[03:32] <Kcaj> Yeah
[03:32] <djhash> cthulinux: you need to fix your resolution.. it probably went on too high.. or you have improper refresh rate
[03:32] <Kcaj> I couldn't switch back after
[03:33] <Billll> Flash Media Encoder 2.5 <--- this supported by ubuntu? If not what type of flash encoders can I get for ubuntu?
[03:33] <VersionZero> I just started using ubuntu a few days ago and I love it
[03:33] <Kcaj> is there a keyboard shortcut to open a new terminal, without switching out of gnome?
[03:33] <cthulinux> okay i can get to terminal, how to i do it from there?
[03:33] <Kcaj> I need further support for dpkg to fix brokenness
[03:33] <Kcaj> I tried to fix from recovery mode
[03:33] <Kcaj> and it said errors instead of just fixing it
[03:33] <sn9_> Kcaj: just keep pressing alt-left arrow until you get back to gnome
[03:33] <plik> koolranch: what are you trying to install, and more importantly HOW
[03:33] <cintaq> hi all
[03:33] <Kcaj> sn9: it brought me back, instead to a command terminal
[03:33] <Kcaj> when I alt+F1
[03:33] <cintaq> i'm from indonesia
[03:33] <Kcaj> It had a ton of text in it
[03:33] <koolranch> I'm trying to install the emusic player
[03:33] <koolranch> for emusic.com
[03:33] <koolranch> and I've used chmod to open the installer
[03:34] <cintaq> anybody know about setting HSF Modem Connexant on Ubuntu?
[03:34] <koolranch> and it's asking for a file destination, and I heard that it was good to put files in /usr/local/bin
[03:34] <djhash> !name
[03:34] <Kcaj> What is the command again to dpkg --fix some stuff?
[03:34] <sn9_> Kcaj: are you on a laptop or something?
[03:34] <cintaq> Hi
[03:34] <Kcaj> Yes, actually.
[03:34] <sn9_> cintaq: use dell's driver

[03:35] <drash> koolranch: that's a good spot for anything 3d party yes
[03:35] <L815> anyone know why my front laptop fan seems to work during the live cd, but not when installed?
[03:35] <koolranch> Ubuntu won't let me put a file there though
[03:35] <sn9_> Kcaj: some laptop keyboards are weird about use of the Fn key
[03:35] <Billll> Flash Media Encoder 2.5 <--- this supported by ubuntu? If not what type of flash encoders can I get for ubuntu?
[03:35] <cthulinux> !djhash
[03:35] <plik> koolranch: sudo make install is probably what you want
[03:35] <djhash> cthulinux: <--- do this..
[03:35] <cthulinux> lol how?
[03:36] <plik> but you should follow any instructions that came with it...
[03:36] <djhash> cthulinux:  type dj{then tab}
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> !tab | cthulinux
[03:36] <plik> or learn about how to build and install software (google knows)
[03:36] <koolranch> plik, do I type the directory name after "sudo make install?"
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> djhash: if he tabs just dj, he gets someone else..lol
[03:36] <cthulinux> i am on pegin\
[03:36] <sn9_> koolranch: no
[03:36] <plik> no, the make file will have everything in it

[03:37] <djhash> ubottu needs a reboot!!!
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> ubottu:  is fine, its user malfunction
[03:38] <jm2k> looking at Hardware Drivers, i notice Atheros driver is supported by "no in use", how do i go on to use the wireless?
[03:38] <sn9_> jm2k: is it built-in?
[03:38] <jm2k> yes
[03:38] <jm2k> sn9_: yes
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> jm2k: dependson the wireless device, google your device and you'll probably find tons of info.
[03:38] <Billll> sn9_: thank you
[03:39] <sn9_> jm2k: there might be a switch or button for it
[03:39] <koolranch> that's still not working for me, plik
[03:39] <jm2k> IndyGunFreak: been to the edge of the web and back and no solution yet. tried with madwifi to reconfigure but nothing either.
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> jm2k: whats your wireless device
[03:39] <drash> koolranch: are you actually compiling that emusic player ? or is it a script ?
[03:39] <Xires> Xorg is constantly taking up over 90% CPU resources whenever a video is played using any video player..is this a known problem in Xorg??
[03:40] <noobalert> WHY CANT I RUN MYSQLD
[03:40] <noobalert> halp
[03:40] <IndyGunFreak> noobalert: first thought is you're doing something wrong
[03:40] <noobalert> i have considered that
[03:40] <koolranch> I'm not sure
[03:40] <koolranch> here's the error message the installer gives me:  The directory /usr/local/bin is not writable by the current use
[03:40] <djhash> cthulinux: i'll make it simple for you #1: Keep sentences to one line. dont keep using enter #2: Use "nickname: your message" when speaking to someone specifically. this is a large channel and things can get lost. #3: Do not private message people without asking for permission. #4: dont ask a question to ask a question like "can someone help me?".. just ask the question u want help in. #5: we can all read lower case too...
[03:40] <noobalert> but its not working, thats the way you do it
[03:40] <jm2k> IndyGunFreak:  Atheros AR5212 802.11abg NIC
[03:40] <noobalert> money for nothing and my OS was free
[03:41] <sn9_> koolranch: sudo make install
[03:41] <koolranch> what do I type after that?
[03:41] <koolranch> just that?
[03:41] <Jman> how do i install rpm files
[03:41] <drash> koolranch: than you're not compiling, the command that was given about sudo make install won't do anything usefull for you
[03:41] <Jman> what package is needed
[03:41] <noobalert>  mysql start
[03:41] <noobalert> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[03:41] <noobalert> is the error
[03:41] <amenado> noobalert-> have you done a tutorial on mysql yet? if not, please do, many are available
[03:41] <IndyGunFreak> jm2k: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[03:41] <koolranch> how do I make that directory writeable?
[03:41] <djhash> Jman: rpms are RedHat Linux packages.. you need .deb for ubuntu.
[03:41] <noobalert> well for me i dont even want a DB, i want mythtv and it wants to install mysql
[03:41] <jm2k> IndyGunFreak: 8.04
[03:42] <Jman> .deb package?
[03:42] <IndyGunFreak> jm2k: did you look at the madwifi homepage?
[03:42] <jm2k> IndyGunFreak: yes
[03:42] <z662> can someone tell me where to find a good tutorial on setting up an irc server on ubuntu server 8.04, or what documentation to read???
[03:42] <djhash> Jman: .deb as is Debian.. which what ubuntu is based on.
[03:42] <sn9_> IndyGunFreak: jm2k has a very screwed up system where apt doesn't see the kernel
[03:42] <amenado> koolranch-> try to understand file permisions which includes directories
[03:42] <djhash> cthulinux: sorry for the delay.. you said you are in terminal?
[03:43] <cthulinux> yes
[03:43] <koolranch> I've tried to read up some on permissions, and I may just be misreading my information, but I've only found out how to change the permissions for files and not directories, amenado
[03:43] <IndyGunFreak> jm2k: wellt hen i woudl address that first.
[03:43] <jm2k> sn9_: i wouldnt call it too "screwed up" ;)
[03:43] <Jman> hmm shouldnt it show up when i install to unpackage right away
[03:43] <amenado> noobalert-> well try to understand why you think mythtv needs a database..(to store movie channels?)
[03:43] <cthulinux> cannot seem to PM
[03:43] <sn9_> koolranch: it's the same
[03:43] <IndyGunFreak> cthulinux: becase you're not registered
[03:43] <enderbean> I'm setting up a webapplication, how would you restrict its access to specific directories? Is there a way to set up permissions for a particular app/proccess?
[03:43] <cthulinux> that would do it
[03:43] <drash> koolranch: it is writeable already, but not for the regular user, i wouldn't mess with those permissions just to install an mp3player that's closed source (just my opinion) .. can't you download those from emusic and play them in a regular ubuntu supported player ?
[03:43] <Kcaj> dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0115' near line 1:
[03:43] <Kcaj>  newline in field name `#padding'
[03:43] <Kcaj> That is my error, btw when running dpkg --configure -a
[03:44] <amenado> koolranch-> then continue on with your tutorial reading, you'd soon discovery about the permissions on directories
[03:44] <Kcaj> I have a feeling dpkg is permanently broken. Any suggestions?
[03:44] <Kcaj> I tried google for a while now, no help, even some things that helped other users
[03:44] <gianni_> mc
[03:44] <gianni_> close
[03:44] <amenado> Kcaj-> come again? dpkg is broken?
[03:44] <djhash> cthulinux: please scroll up.. i've sent you a paragraph of rules to go by in here.. please read it..
[03:44] <jm2k> IndyGunFreak: like i've addressed before, upgraded to Hardy while back, system+wireless okay, then 2 weeks ago it stopped working after doing a package update.
[03:44] <koolranch> why wouldn't you change the permission for that, drash?
[03:44] <Kcaj> Yes, dpkg is broken.
[03:45] <IndyGunFreak> jm2k: really don't know to be truthful..
[03:45] <drone_> hi
[03:45] <drone_> hi
[03:45] <amenado> Kcaj-> on what grounds you make such claims?
[03:45] <Kcaj> I was updating and the machine completely died, now I am stuck with this... gnome has no kind of task bars, and synaptic wont start (obviously since dpkg is broken)
[03:45] <cthulinux> well thanks a bunch going back to windows kids
[03:45] <Kcaj> Look at what I just pasted, lol
[03:45] <sn9_> !hi | drone_
[03:45] <amenado> Kcaj-> did you do a man dpkg to look at the correct options?
[03:45] <ubunubi> is there an easy way add custom locations to the "places"(the one that lists all your filesystems currently mounted) menu in gnome?
[03:45] <ubunubi> menu
[03:45] <jm2k> IndyGunFreak: yea i know, its kool. i'll just keep asking.
[03:45] <Jman> just when i think i knew how to work ubuntu it hits me in the nuts again
[03:45] <IndyGunFreak> well at least he's gone
[03:45] <Kcaj> dpkg --configure -a   is what it tells me to run.
[03:46] <djhash> you know i'm GLAD he's gone back to windows.. we don't like him using linux anyways.. can't even follow simple instructions.
[03:46] <IndyGunFreak> jm2k: asking the same thing over and over, you're likely gonna get the same answer, over and over...
[03:46] <sn9_> !anyone | drone_
[03:46] <Jman> how do i install flash plugin from website right off the bat
[03:46] <amenado> Kcaj-> try the --reconfigure  instead of --configure
[03:46] <drash> koolranch: the whole concept of secure file systems is based on certain restrictions on permissions, if you decide to change those to be world writeable you open up a whole can of worms
[03:46] <gianni_> elinks
[03:46] <IndyGunFreak> djhash: well, new users need to understand.. 1. use the package manager until you're comfortable w/ how things work, then move on to compiling, etc.
[03:47] <koolranch> drash, is there no way for me to make the directory writeable for me and not the world?
[03:47] <Kcaj> --reconfigure -a? Or just --reconfigure?
[03:47] <amenado> Kcaj actually its dpkg-reconfigure
[03:47] <theacolyte> So, if Emerald handles the titlebar theme, what handles the color for say, panels, menus, etc?
[03:47] <Kcaj> Regular gnome
[03:47] <theacolyte> so GDM?
[03:47] <djhash> IndyGunFreak: yeah i know.. but seriously.. i am impatient.. but their impatience superceeds mine... lol..
[03:47] <gianni_> quit
[03:47] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[03:47] <Kcaj> lol dude
[03:48] <Kcaj> dpkg-reconfigure takes a package as an arguement
[03:48] <noobalert> amenado, it says i need to run mysql as root
[03:48] <Kcaj> It doesn't "reconfigure" dpkg.
[03:48] <noobalert> sudo isnt the same as root is it
[03:48] <noobalert> how do u root in ubuntu
[03:48] <Kcaj> noobalert: sudo mysql
[03:48] <noobalert> oh sudo IS root? ok
[03:48] <Kcaj> sudo = super user DO
[03:48] <Kcaj> sudo is "you" with your password checked... lol
[03:48] <noobalert> grr there is like 0 on google about this error
[03:48] <gerrard> yup, sudo [03:49] <Kcaj> Once done in a terminal though, shouldn't ask again
[03:49] <drash> koolranch: sure, but i thought you needed to install a player, i'm just not comfortable with a service that wants you to install a player for something as common as mp3, there's loads of open source players for that with ubuntu support
[03:49] <amenado> Kcaj  per man dkpg-reconfigure   you can  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[03:49] <noobalert> has anyone googled ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[03:49] <noobalert> its forums full of 0 answers
[03:50] <Jman> this is the most un user friendly os ive ever jumped into lolz
[03:50] <noobalert> even the mysql forum
[03:50] <Painless> noobalert: is mysqld started?  try: sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld start
[03:50] <koolranch> I see
[03:50] <noobalert> same error by absolute path
[03:50]  * plik passes Jman an OpenBSD iso
[03:50] <amenado> Jman you ought to try mainframes :P
[03:50] <FuRom> Is there any programs for ubuntu that allow me to access websites like a cell phone would? I'm a web designer, and I'm trying to make a mobile phone compatible website for people to use. I saw MidBrowser in the synaptic package manager, and it doesn't really seem like what you'd expect from a cell phone browser.
[03:51] <Jman> i jst want to install flash player
[03:51] <Jman> lolz
[03:51] <noobalert> Painless, sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start* Starting MySQL database server mysqld

[03:51] <Jman> yea i did that but it bring up default manager
[03:51] <Painless> noobalert: that was your problem... the daemon wasn't started
[03:51] <amenado> FuRom-> have you tried to google for WAP webrowsers  yet?
[03:51] <Jman> so therefore all its want me to do is extract it
[03:51] <noobalert> painless that ends in [Fail]
[03:51] <plik> Jman: go to youtube, click a video , click get plug-in, wait, restaer firefox
[03:52] <Painless> noobalert: error message?
[03:52] <djhash> Jman: what browser are you using?
[03:52] <plik> *restart

[03:52] <noobalert> is it logging the error somewhere?
[03:52] <amenado> plik-> thats assuming he's got the latest firefox..i dont think that process works for older ones
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> Jman: are you using 64bit?
[03:52] <djhash> Jman: go here.. http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BUIGP
[03:52] <Jman> i just downloaded the flash plugin
[03:52] <Jman> i havent installed it
[03:52] <FuRom> amenado, umm, no I haven't. I'm a totally newbie with cell phone web browsing.
[03:52] <Jman> thats the issue im sorta having here
[03:53] <djhash> Jman: where did you download it from?
[03:53] <Jman> the website
[03:53] <Jman> /home/jman/Desktop/flash-plugin-<IP_ADDRESS>-release.i386.rpm
[03:53] <amenado> FuRom well you have plenty or reading to do, look around for WAP..or whatever the new name is for it
[03:53] <FuRom> amenado, in other words, I didn't even know what to google for except "cell phone web browser" which got me nothing
[03:53] <djhash> Jman: you got the wrong one
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> Jman: why are you downloading rpms?
[03:53] <Jman> im new as hell to ubuntu
[03:53] <FuRom> amenado, thanks, I'm already all over it
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> Jman: all the more reason you should be nstalling things the right way, as opposed to making it harder on yourself.
[03:54] <amenado> FuRom being a web designer, you ought to know  the lingo...:P
[03:54] <IndyGunFreak> Jman: are you using 32bit or 64bit ubuntu

[03:54] <nikonadictk> hey why can someone users not loginto my vsftpd server???
[03:54] <PorkSoda> Ok, any reason not to upgrade to 8.04 at present? :)
[03:54] <Jman> i think 32 bit
[03:54] <PorkSoda> I was putting it off for a while
[03:54] <Tourkneyyy> hello
[03:54] <Tourkneyyy> i have trouble with fluxubuntu's screen resolution option
[03:54] <IndyGunFreak> Jman: then it should install just like Windows... go to youtube, add missing plugins, install, then restart firefox.
[03:55] <Jman> but when i go to install its just giving me the archive manager
[03:55] <Jman> and letting me extract
[03:55] <djhash> IndyGunFreak: thank you i completely forgot about that..
[03:55] <Jman> no installation
[03:55] <greeg> hi
[03:55] <djhash> Jman: FORGET about what you downloaded.. DELETE IT
[03:55] <Jman> ok
[03:55] <drash> PorkSoda: not really, unless you're running an exotic machine that needs bleeding edge packages
[03:55] <greeg> how do i move a picture in kolourpaint?
[03:55] <djhash> Jman: go to youtube..
[03:55] <IndyGunFreak> Jman: opena  terminal (Applications/Accessories/terminal) and type this w/o quotes.. "uname -a"   and paste the output here
[03:55] <nikonadictk> can someone please help me figure out why certain users canot log into my vsfptd server?
[03:55] <greeg> similar to the hand tool in mspaint.
[03:55] <IndyGunFreak> djhash: i bet youa  buffalo nickel he's using 64bit
[03:55] <Painless> noobalert: when you originally installed the mysql deb package, did you get any errors?
[03:55] <greeg> i want to shift the whole picture, some some of it falls off the stage.
[03:56] <djhash> IndyGunFreak: i'm with you
[03:56] <PorkSoda> drash, Cool, I'm going to go for it. :)
[03:56] <greeg> now if kolourpaint can't do this, than i must say this linux stuff is rather pathetic.
[03:56] <PorkSoda> Thanks
[03:56] <rsys> noobalert: do yo already start mysql server ?
[03:56] <Jman> yea it says select a version
[03:56] <Tourkneyyy> who wanna help me ?
[03:56] <Jman> for adobe flash
[03:56] <Painless> rsys: from what he's saying, the server startup is failing
[03:56] <noobalert> painless i was installing mythtv by aptget which started the mysql install
[03:56] <drash> PorkSoda: are you on gutsy right now or installing ubuntu the first time ?
[03:56] <IndyGunFreak> Jman: select adobe flash player, don't choose gnash.
[03:56] <Painless> noobalert: ok, but did you see any errors?
[03:57] <nikonadictk> anyone wanna help me find out why some only SOME users can use vsftpd??? I think its a pretty straightforward questions? thnx in advance
[03:57] <PorkSoda> No, not first time. I"m on gutsy.
[03:57] <djhash> IndyGunFreak: crossing fingers...
[03:57] <noobalert> what is it alone apt-get mysqld?
[03:57] <MethodmanRDM> is there anyway to get natilaus to have the "open terminal here" command, like in xubuntu?
[03:57] <Jman> http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
[03:57] <MethodmanRDM> *like in thunar
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> Jman: stop linking us to that, i don't care.
[03:57] <Painless> noobalert: 'apg-get install mysql-server'
[03:57] <Jman> sorry just showing you
[03:57] <Painless> whoops... 'apt-get'
[03:57] <PorkSoda> I heard on 8.04 having certain networking problems etc
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> Jman: are you going to follow instructions or not?
[03:57] <drash> PorkSoda: in that case you shouldn't encounter any problems, quite the opposite, goodluck :)
[03:57] <Jman> yes

[04:03] <Tourkneyyy> 1280x 1043= 1280 x 1024
[04:03] <djhash> IndyGunFreak: i can't see how that could go wrong..

[04:04] <IndyGunFreak> djhash: like i said, i'mc urious why he can't install Flash like everyone else..

[04:06] <Ahadiel> !es | Guest94675
[04:06] <conduit4sale> sn9: yes
[04:06] <Flannel> Leefmc: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:06] <djhash> Leefmc: yes... apt-get can do it all for you..
[04:06] <Tourkneyyy> i am using fluxubuntu distro . when i lower the resolution under 1280X1024 then i need to slide mouse to see icons - (it thinks i have a 19 inch monitor - though its 17 )  -- the desktop can be seen "fit" on screen in only 1280 x 1024 resolution,  however i want to use 800 x 600 !  how will i set this ?
[04:06] <Miesco> I put my SD card in my laptop, how do I access it?
[04:06] <Guest94675> como pueso abrirlo
[04:06] <Leefmc> Flannel: dist-upgrade is the actually installation of the patches?
[04:07] <conduit4sale> sn9: i tried ndiswrapper afterwards but it didnt work either.  should i remove that?
[04:07] <sn9_> conduit4sale: and you were connected to the internet at the time?
[04:07] <Flannel> Leefmc: not patches, but new versions of packages, yes.
[04:07] <Painless> noobalert: ok, try 'aptitude reinstall mysql-server-5.0'
[04:07] <Painless> noobalert: with 'sudo' in front
[04:07] <conduit4sale> sn9: i was connected to the internet through ethernet
[04:07] <BeepII> Ok, so I installed the wrong driver for my video card. now it's extremely unstable. . .
[04:07] <noobalert> i love some linux file names [=
[04:07] <BeepII> how do I get rid of it?
[04:07] <rsys> Leefmc, "sudo aptitude full-upgrade"
[04:07] <amenado> nikonadictk-> you meant anonymous users?
[04:07] <sn9_> conduit4sale: and the download failed?
[04:07] <Leefmc> Flannel: So if patches are released, how do you update them?
[04:07] <Leefmc> rsys: OO
[04:07] <conduit4sale> sn9: download worked.  networks didnt show up
[04:07] <Flannel> Leefmc: You mean like upstream patches?
[04:07] <plik> Leefmc: sudo aptitude update   first
[04:07] <noobalert> what is aptitude in relation to apt
[04:07] <Leefmc> plik: Yea
[04:08] <sn9_> conduit4sale: oh, i thought you said the firmware download failed
[04:08] <nikonadictk> amenado what do you mean? I disabled anonymouse users becaue I want all my users to authenticate themselves iwth their local accounts on the machine
[04:08] <Painless> noobalert: its a prettier front end
[04:08] <Leefmc> Flannel: Not sure, but simply patches to the OS, etc. (Not like an update to rhythmbox, which i dont even care about)
[04:08] <Flannel> noobalert: apt-get and aptitude are both frontends to apt, so is synaptic, adept, update-manager, etc
[04:08] <Painless> noobalert: like synaptic, but console based
[04:08] <sn9_> conduit4sale: are you sure the wifi isn't simply turned off?
[04:08] <conduit4sale> sn9: nah the dl worked im pretty sure the package was installed smoothly

[04:08] <amenado> nikonadictk-> paste in pastebin your vsftp  config file..lets see what we can shed
[04:08] <Flannel> Leefmc: I'm not sure what you're asking (and I'm not sure you do either).  Like, a new kernel? or what?
[04:09] <burner> speaking of update to rhythmbox... does anyone have a ppa with rhythmbox 0.11.6 debs?
[04:09] <Flannel> !repeat | Tourkneyyy

[04:09] <ShinjinAkage> Can someone help me install fable under wine. I followed directions in one of the posts on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=521185 and copied all the files from a windows instalation into my wine folder then exported the three registry files it said I needed. When I try to import them nothing happens and the program still wont run. Any suggestions?
[04:09] <Leefmc> Flannel: Basically any type of patch that is for ubuntu, not a specific program in ubuntu (rhythmbox for example)
[04:09] <conduit4sale> sn9 no
[04:09] <BeepII> Somebody know how to uninstall the openchrome driver?
[04:09] <Leefmc> Flannel: And yes, i am obviously confused hehe
[04:09] <Flannel> Leefmc: Ubuntu doesn't use a patch system, the repositories get new versions of packages, which you download and install
[04:10] <Shoopuf> ShinjinAkage: #winehq might be more suitable for your question.
[04:10] <Leefmc> Flannel: Well i consider those patches heh, but anyway, year
[04:10] <ShinjinAkage> Okay, thanks
[04:10] <Leefmc> yea*
[04:10] <sn9_> conduit4sale: some laptops need special acpi drivers for wifi to work by any method
[04:10] <Flannel> Leefmc: and those commands will do it for all packages installed on your system.  Which is easier for you than picking and choosing packages.  If you really just want a subset, you could manually pick and choose packages, but its easier to just update everything
[04:10] <trashguy> anyone have a problem with flash and no sound?
[04:11] <conduit4sale> sn9: what is that and where can i get it
[04:11] <codyt07> Hello, does anyone know how to improve sound quality on 64 bit ubuntu?
[04:11] <conduit4sale> sn9: also the wireless worked on xp prior to switching to ubuntu
[04:11] <BeepII> Should I just reformat or is there a better way?
[04:11] <sn9_> conduit4sale: different laptops need different ones
[04:11] <chalcedony> where are better chat clients than pidgin that will support yahoo?
[04:11] <Leefmc> Flannel: Oh i have no problem updating everything, i just didnt know if there was a difference between an update for "rhythmbox" and an update for .. ubuntu. Though i spose perhaps the confusion here is that there are no updates for "ubuntu" since ubuntu is just a collection of things?
[04:12] <drash> BeepII: sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> chalcedony: i think there's one called gyachi, but i don't know if its better than pidgin
[04:12] <Flannel> Leefmc: Nope, kernels and other things all get updated in the same manner.  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will take care of it for you
[04:12] <chalcedony> IndyGunFreak: they want me to compile my own pidgin upgrade. i think, given my abilites that would be a really bad idea.
[04:12] <Leefmc> Flannel: Gotcha, thanks. Sorry for the confusion
[04:12] <BeepII> Thanks Drash

[04:16] <sn9_> Jman: which one?
[04:16] <Flannel> Leefmc: Er... that'll work too.  But apt shouldn't touch that.
[04:16] <Leefmc> Flannel: Will that stop apt-get from ruining my work? heh, as it is it just deleted hours of my work heh
[04:17] <Flannel> Leefmc: What did it ruin?
[04:17] <Shoopuf> Jman: Did you already install your ATI drivers? I think it should prompt you to install it through "System Menu > Administration Menu > Hardware Drivers"
[04:17] <Leefmc> Flannel: ffmpeg
[04:17] <Jman> shoop nope i sure didnt yet
[04:17] <Flannel> Leefmc: ffmpeg was in your homedir?

[04:21] <mneptok> phenobitch: fancy a nick change?
[04:21] <coolasjon> see I can't tell if it is my graphic card or my monitor
[04:21] <Leefmc> Flannel: Bah, yea it farked it all up. Sob.
[04:21] <nikon> mneptok I am having the same problem with SFTP.. I cannot login with the same users into SFTP... if you could help me figure this out that would be GREEEEEATTT because I'd rather run SFTP mneptok THATS WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT
[04:21] <Leefmc> Flannel: Damn i hate how you have to custom compile ffmpeg to get h264 use out of it.
[04:21] <coolasjon> I just installed Hardy today
[04:21] <mneptok> nikon: ssh -vvvvv user@host
[04:21] <Painless> chalcedony: the real biter is that he actually beat the cancer... and pneumonia took him afterwards, too weak to fight it
[04:21] <Shoopuf> sn9_: Strange, I don't have the simple-ccsm installed yet I still have the "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" in the Preferences Menu
[04:22] <mneptok> nikon: pastebin the output
[04:22] <NickGarvey> osmosis: closed/and it's only a demo
[04:22] <coolasjon> and Its giving me trouble
[04:22] <phenobitch> mneptok not really, i dont see why this channel has a problem with my nick while #freenode and #defocus never mention my nick
[04:22] <NickGarvey> osmosis: (closed source that is)
[04:22] <phenobitch> is this channel more totalitarian than #freenode mneptok?
[04:22] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  Hmm the medibuntu dont have that built in?
[04:22] <Kcaj> HAHA omg I deleted al the settings
[04:22] <Kcaj> and still no task bar or bottom bar in gnome :( :(
[04:22] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  err. i mean the one from medibuntu repositories..
[04:22] <sn9_> Shoopuf: yes, that's a dependency of simple-ccsm, not vice-versa
[04:22] <drash> Leefmc: use the ffmpeg version from medibuntu repo
[04:22] <mneptok> phenobitch: mostly because this channel has different rules. one of them is being as "family friendly" as possible
[04:22] <amenado> phenobitch-> this is a family friendly channel. please abide by the request of you
[04:22] <mneptok> phenobitch: feel free not to comply, as is your right. you may also be removed from the channel, as is our right.
[04:23] <noobalert> painless, that command did nothing, i had to kill terminal now i cannot open a new terminal, fubar?
[04:23] <Leefmc> drash: Not sure i want to, the custom compile one i did has a yasm, etc, and ended up with great speedy results.
[04:23] <Shoopuf> sn9_: Thanks, I'll grab simple-ccsm
[04:23] <sn9_> Shoopuf: i thought you were trying to install it, and that would pull it in
[04:23] <phenobitch> i'd rather DIE than change my nick kthanx
[04:23] <noobalert> i should mention im on a pentium 2 almost 300mhz
[04:23] <joshman_newb> thanks ubottu for help!
[04:23] <mneptok> pure class.
[04:23] <coolasjon> how can I add higher/more screen resolutions in Hardy? Is 640x480 the best I can get?
[04:23] <spork969_> i have a new program but it requires 16 bit color depth. How do i make it change?
[04:23] <drash> Leefmc: ok, no argument there in that case
[04:24] <Kcaj> I srsly am about to crys ;_;
[04:24] <nikon> hey mneptok I am trying to do it with cyberduck.. a GUI to the SFTP command, because I am eventually going to just login wtih the Dreamweaver SFTP tool... thnx again bud.. but wjat shold I try now
[04:24] <Kcaj> How can restore mine top and bottom bars in gnome? google are of no help here, been trying forevers.
[04:24] <mneptok> nikon: ssh -vvvvv user@host
[04:24] <mneptok> nikon: pastebin the output
[04:24] <Leefmc> drash:  I just gatta recompile and hopefully use a different name so apt-get wont whore me. Ugh. Being a linux moron, it took me forever to get that running, man heh
[04:24] <nickrud> spork969 you'd have to define a 16bit color mode in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , then restart X in that mode
[04:24] <Leefmc> drash: Feel like apt-get just kicked me in the nuts.
[04:24] <nikon> on the client or the server mneptok
[04:24] <Painless> noobalert: was just looking back at your message pastes... check out /var/log/messages (near the end) and see if there is anymore detail concerning mysql not starting
[04:24] <mneptok> nikon: you can do that in an OSX terminal
[04:24] <mneptok> nikon: on the client
[04:25] <nikon> mneptok yessir!
[04:25] <sn9_> Kcaj: not easy to do
[04:25] <drash> Leefmc: strange it would do that actually
[04:25] <Flannel> Leefmc: Have you tried the medibuntu ones?
[04:25] <spork969_> nickrud, any way for me to have it change to 16 when i run that program, then have it switch back afterwards?
[04:25] <Kcaj> dpkg and synaptic still don't work
[04:25] <noobalert> any clue how to open a new terminal? it starts and dies
[04:25] <Leefmc> Flannel: Im going to recompile because the compile i use has yasm in it, which is supposed to make it run much faster
[04:25] <Kcaj> Is there a way, with Ubuntu already installed to just start over?
[04:25] <Leefmc> Flannel: Never compared them though
[04:26] <Kcaj> so dpkg and everything will work again?
[04:26] <nickrud> noobalert also check /var/log/mysql.err and info
[04:26] <Kcaj> I'm just going about to reinstall Jewbuntu altogether
[04:26] <noobalert> my terminal wont open ]=
[04:26] <sn9_> Kcaj: there is, but it involves a lot of frustration'
[04:26] <Kcaj> I'll consider this my test install that I horribly crippled
[04:26] <noobalert> i guess i will get on windows and ssh
[04:26] <Painless> noobalert: ! ... try killing X and restarting it
[04:26] <mneptok> Kcaj: lhit!
[04:26] <Kcaj> lhit!?
[04:26] <osmosis> NickGarvey: shouldnt it be in the 'commercial' repository though even if its closed source?  Can the demo still do online play ?
[04:26] <nikon> mneptok http://paste.ubuntu.com/26364/
[04:26] <Leefmc> Flannel: Though perhaps i should just abandon a bit of speed for sanity. I'm not savvy enough to enjoy compiling my own
[04:26] <NickGarvey> osmosis: never played it
[04:27] <mneptok> Kcaj: it's Hebrew :)
[04:27] <pen> what document font do you guys use?
[04:27] <krsnadasa> is there a way to make a xterm session all sudo so i don't have to type sudo this sudo that ?
[04:27] <nickrud> spork969 no, X doesn't support changing color depth on the fly as best I know
[04:27] <NickGarvey> osmosis: and.. if they included that demo then they'd need to include loads of others, too much to be maintained
[04:27] <pen> recommend me some good ones :)
[04:27] <Kcaj> Oh you silly guys
[04:27] <Kcaj> I have to run gnome-panel, but then it errors out
[04:27] <noobalert> how do i kill x? ctrl f1?
[04:27] <Kcaj> and goes away again lol
[04:27] <astro76> krsnadasa: sudo -i
[04:27] <nickrud> krsnadasa sudo -i
[04:27] <NickGarvey> noobalert: ctrl alt backspace
[04:27] <Kcaj> if I fix these errors, all may be good
[04:27] <Kcaj> but dpkg is still broken
[04:27] <noobalert> because my shutdown menu doesnt work either
[04:27] <sn9_> noobalert: atrl-alt-bksp
[04:27] <osmosis> NickGarvey: one would think the game distributors would want to support the packages.
[04:28] <krsnadasa> astro76: thanks
[04:28] <mneptok> nikon: the problem is ssh configs on your OSX machine
[04:28] <drash> Leefmc: the ffmpeg version from medibuntu works just fine, but i'm not the speed demon i was 15 years ago :p
[04:28] <krsnadasa> nickrud: thanks
[04:28] <NickGarvey> osmosis: I mean the game distributors could make a .deb
[04:28] <mneptok> nikon: in OSX, "rm -r ~/.ssh"
[04:28] <nikon> mneptok what do I do??
[04:28] <NickGarvey> osmosis: that'd be one thing
[04:28] <mneptok> nikon: run that command i gave you, then try again.
[04:28] <Leefmc> drash: How do you download from medibuntu? I mean, if multiple repositories hold different versions of the same software, how do you download the one you want?
[04:29]  * nickrud thinks astro76 should get some of those cookies too :)
[04:29] <Leefmc> drash: I know i gatta add medibuntu repo
[04:29] <osmosis> NickGarvey: looks like there are some howto's in the forums out there.
[04:29] <beautifulsnow> hI..... why does my keyboard type in CAPS when the CAPS LOCK is on, but in lower case when the caps lock if off?
[04:29] <NickGarvey> osmosis: on how to package stuff?  I doubt it's particular complicated, in order to allow people to do so
[04:29] <sn9_> beautifulsnow: why not?
[04:30] <nikon> mneptok http://paste.ubuntu.com/26366/
[04:30] <osmosis> NickGarvey: yah...probably no one bothered because the install script they give works well enough
[04:30] <drash> Leefmc: in synaptic's prefs there's a setting you can toggle, it defaults to 'install the highest available version' i believe
[04:30] <DeadKennedy2880> beautifulsnow - sounds right to me
[04:30] <Leefmc> drash: Also, does the medibuntu one have aac, etc? I've found a specific h264 render that works with QuickTime and i'll die if im off heh
[04:30] <nickrud> beautifulsnow real question? If so, I doubt many people here could describe the hardware paths that do that
[04:30] <Miesco> How do I find out what /dev/ my sd card is on?
[04:30] <beautifulsnow> What....
[04:30] <drash> Leefmc: sure, aac is supported
[04:30] <astro76> nickrud: did I miss the cookies? :(
[04:30] <Leefmc> drash: Well if two repos hold the same vers, how do you choose? (from terminal, since im using ssh)
[04:31] <phpcurious> hi, I have ubuntu gutsy gibbon on my laptop. I am just wondering if it is normal that my ubuntu is frequently losing wireless connection?
[04:31] <astro76> beautifulsnow: that is the intended function of the caps lock key as you've described it
[04:31] <sn9_> beautifulsnow: ask a silly question, get a silly answer
[04:31] <ubunty> Hi, I am new.
[04:31] <sn9_> !hi | ubunty
[04:31] <drash> Leefmc: don't know the answer to the terminal version, i suppose it had the same default since synaptic is only a graphical front
[04:31] <nickrud> ubunty welcome to #ubuntu, if you have questions just ask
[04:31] <beautifulsnow> The CAPS LOCK is supposed to make keys UPPER CASE, while if caps lock is supposed is OFF, the keys are supposed to be lower case... the current behavior is, OFF makes keys UPPER CASE. The Oposite.
[04:32] <mneptok> nikon: i see a "Password:" prompt at the end
[04:32] <mneptok> nikon: so type the password
[04:32] <NickGarvey> beautifulsnow: tap your shift keys a few times
[04:32] <NickGarvey> beautifulsnow: and make sure nothing is.. on them
[04:32] <sn9_> beautifulsnow: that's not what you said before
[04:32] <nickrud> beautifulsnow that's the opposite of what you said above actually
[04:32] <nikon> I do mneptok like 3 times it prompts me and then it goes down furtehr and promtps me again and says password incorrect
[04:32] <nikon> mneptok I will send you the complete one hold on
[04:32] <mneptok> nikon: use the correct password for that acocunt
[04:33] <nikon> mneptok I am
[04:33] <ubunty> Nikon, what is wrong?
[04:33] <sn9_> beautifulsnow: you might have "sticky keys" turned on by mistake
[04:33] <djhash> sn9_: is there sticky keys in ubuntu?
[04:33] <mneptok> nikon: you *did* create a "billy" account on the Ubuntu machine, right?
[04:33] <nikon> ubunty I cannot login to sftp from my mac to a few of my accounts n my ubuntu box
[04:33] <nikon> mneptok yes
[04:33] <sn9_> djhash: yes
[04:33] <djhash> cool..
[04:33] <ubunty> oh :(
[04:33] <djhash> i just checked..
[04:33] <trollboy> http://www.flickr.com/photos/ronocdh/2651155110/sizes/o/
[04:34] <Leefmc> Flannel: Do you have any idea how i can download ffmpeg from medibuntu? I added the repo, and then downloaded ffmpeg and tried to use it. I got all sorts of errors, so i assume its not supporting x264.. which means its not from medibuntu.. thoughts?
[04:34] <mneptok> trollboy: are like Digg, but four days late?
[04:34]  * trollboy takes his fail and leaves
[04:35] <mneptok> Leefmc: are you trying to transcode to H.264?
[04:35] <astro76> Leefmc: what does 'apt-cache policy ffmpeg' tell you? should have -medibuntu in the version if it's from medibuntu
[04:35] <nickrud> Leefmc  try   apt-cache policy ffmpeg , that will tell you what version you have
[04:35] <DeadKennedy2880> i didnt know reiser murdered your wife though
[04:35] <nikon> mneptok here is the same file but after I keep entering in the pasword and it keeps telling me false... I dont get it ... when I use cyberduck to log into my SFTP accounts two of them work ( one admin and one other) but none of the other accoutns work http://paste.ubuntu.com/26367/
[04:36] <nikon> I just cant login to ssh with any new accounts I make
[04:36] <mneptok> nikon: i suggest running "sudo passwd billy" on the Ubuntu machine, resetting the password that way, and trying again
[04:37] <Leefmc> nickrud: Hmm, seems it is from medibuntu, it just doesn't know x264.. or atleast how i was using x264 before.
[04:37] <Leefmc> Ugh
[04:37] <Miesco> Does ubuntu suppost to automatically read SD cards?
[04:37] <djhash> so.. I have a laptop with ATI Radeon Mobility 7500... and I want to use the svideo.. when I set the laptop to 800x600 i get squiggly screen.. and the same outputs to the svideo.. my xorg.conf can be found here.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5334749#post5334749
[04:37] <nickrud> Miesco in general, yes
[04:38] <Leefmc> drash: What is the x264 version in medibuntu called? its not libx264, nor x264
[04:38] <Miesco> nickrud: Its not :(, any suggestions?
[04:38] <henux> good morning
[04:38] <Agent_bob> i get this http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d9633ca2
[04:38] <mneptok> Leefmc: the media codec is h.264
[04:38] <Leefmc> mneptok: Yes, and i had it all working great, until apt-get trashed my fun heh.
[04:38] <nikon> mneptok it gives me a weird terminal prompt when I log into bill y throgh SSH.. it dosent show the greek username bar or anything it just shows a $ sign.. and the SFTP login still dosent work... but atleast I can login through ssh with billy now
[04:38] <Agent_bob> then dvdrip crashes
[04:38] <nickrud> Miesco I'd start with   tail -f /var/log/syslog    in a terminal, then plug in the sd card. You should get some messages, which should provide some clues
[04:39] <mneptok> Leefmc: transcode for viewing on ..... ?
[04:39] <nikon> wait
[04:39] <nikon> I take that back mneptok the passwd command worked
[04:39] <nikon> thanks budy! i REALLY REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT
[04:39] <mneptok> nikon: rawk
[04:39] <Leefmc> mneptok: Nope, "Unknown codec 'h.264'"
[04:39] <Leefmc> mneptok: QuickTime, the web, etc
[04:39] <nikon> mneptok rawk?
[04:39] <mneptok> nikon: "rock"
[04:39] <Agent_bob> anyone ?
[04:39] <Miesco> nickrud: Nothing, just a bunch of cron stuff
[04:39] <mneptok> Leefmc: i use h.264 MPEG4 on my Playstation portable.
[04:40] <Leefmc> mneptok: Ok.. heh, not sure what your saying
[04:40] <mneptok> Leefmc: the app i use is PSPVC
[04:40] <Leefmc> mneptok: Ah
[04:40] <Leefmc> mneptok: Well anyway, i use ffmpeg heh
[04:40] <anolis> h.264 is also used in alot of dvd players
[04:40] <drash> Leefmc: i use libx264-57 (from regular ubuntu repo)
[04:40] <mneptok> Leefmc: very, VERY easy transcoding
[04:40] <Leefmc> drash: K
[04:40] <nickrud> Miesco you should get some lines as soon as you enter the command.  Then when you plug in the card, you should get some more. None at all when you inserted the card
[04:40] <Gman99999> hey what's the command to access the nvidia control panel?
[04:40] <mneptok> Leefmc: scream if drash's suggestion doesn;t work
[04:40] <nickrud> Miesco last sentence was a question
[04:40] <media> painless are you still here
[04:41] <Miesco> nickrud: None
[04:41] <Painless> yep
[04:41] <media> alt-ctrl-bksp really fucked my p2 up
[04:41] <Leefmc> drash: Note that i did not install any x264 crap, but i assume thats not needed because the medibuntu is compiled with x264 right?
[04:41] <rand0m> could someone tell me how I could set my xfce desktop environment to, just like when i log into gnome desktop environment, automount my partition volume named "S3A4004D003" in /media ?
[04:41] <nickrud> Miesco is this card plugged into an external reader?
[04:41] <Miesco> wait
[04:41] <rand0m> perhaps so i could access it quickly by going to "Places", but if that's a difficult task, i'd settle for simply automounting so i can access it through file manager
[04:41] <Miesco> No internal in my laptop
[04:41] <Miesco> I restart hal
[04:41] <Leefmc> drash: Heh, "Unknown codec 'libx264-57'"
[04:41] <Agent_bob> anyone know another app that might be able to copy .vob files from a dvd ?
[04:41] <Xpistos> can anyone tell me why my samba shares show up today but not tomorrow if the host computer is always on?
[04:42] <Leefmc> drash: Argh, i had it perfect too.
[04:42] <drash> Leefmc: don't know how the medibuntu ffmpeg is compiled, for me it works for my simple needs
[04:42] <koshari> rand0m fstab entry
[04:42] <Leefmc> drash: Well you said it was compiled with x264
[04:42] <rand0m> koshari, ???
[04:42] <Miesco> nickrud: Nothing, its internal in my dell laptop
[04:42] <Leefmc> drash: Or so i thought
[04:42] <mneptok> Gman99999: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[04:42] <Leefmc> drash: ffmpeg needs to be compiled with x264 to compile h264. Which is why i did heh
[04:42] <Miesco> nickrud: Its the new DELL XPS M1530 or whatever
[04:43] <Miesco> Like $2600
[04:43] <koshari> rand0m use an fstab entry, /dev/sd** /media/S3A4004D003
[04:43] <nickrud> Miesco are these secure digital?
[04:43] <pen> what document font do you guys use?
[04:43] <pen> recommend me some good ones :)
[04:43] <rand0m> koshari, i dont know what you mean by "fstab entry "
[04:43] <nickrud> Miesco doh, wrong question, a sec
[04:43] <drash> Leefmc: the medibuntu one is as far i know, never bothered to check if it worked
[04:43] <Miesco> k
[04:43] <Leefmc> drash: Argh :p
[04:44] <Leefmc> drash: Oh well, thanks for trying
[04:44] <noobalert> i wondered why i kept highlighting my nick was media
[04:44] <Miesco> nickrud: Maybe im putting the card upside down?
[04:44] <Gman99999> mneptok thanks man
[04:44] <hyperhacker> hi, kinda dumb question, how can I tell whether I'm running 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu? >_>
[04:44] <nickrud> Miesco possible :)
[04:44] <shadow420> how do I empty the /tmp folder during a X session
[04:44] <Miesco> nickrud: I dont think so
[04:44] <drash> Leefmc: mneptok i think said to scream if my suggestion didn't work .. now is the time :p
[04:44] <koshari> rand0m in gnome you are clicking onto the drive in nautilaa and it is auto mounting the drive as S3A4004D003, xfce doesnt have nautilas so you would need to edt the fstab file to do it automagicly at logon,
[04:45] <nickrud> Miesco can't find my sd card, so I'm doing some googling. A sec
[04:45] <krsnadasa> ok 2 things
[04:45] <Miesco> fuck, I put it in upside down and its stuck
[04:45] <Leefmc> drash: His involves a completely different path, i am going to compile ffmpeg again
[04:45] <tritium> Miesco: watch the foul language
[04:45] <mneptok> Miesco: language, dude.
[04:45] <Leefmc> drash: It was working perfectly heh
[04:45] <rand0m> komputes, ahh okay, how do I edit the fstab file ?
[04:45] <krsnadasa> 1. What is the best dock program for gnome ?
[04:45] <Miesco> oh no
[04:45] <Miesco> This is bad
[04:45] <krsnadasa> yes your opinion
[04:45]  * mneptok bastes tritium
[04:45] <koshari> rand0m i take it the drive in quersion is perminately attached, rather than a removable drive?
[04:45] <Shoopuf> Miesco: Oh man will it come out? :(
[04:45] <Miesco> Shoopuf: NO
[04:45] <krsnadasa> 2. were do i add commands to startup ?
[04:45] <Leefmc> drash: I just need to rename it when i do it, so apt-get doesn't whore me.
[04:45] <tritium> mneptok: :)
[04:45] <komputes> rand0m: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[04:45] <shadow420> how do I empty the /tmp folder during a X session???
[04:46] <koshari> !fstab
[04:46] <Miesco> My moms going to kill me
[04:46] <rand0m> koshari, yeah im on a laptop.. the one i mentioned is just my ntfs harddrive with all my media
[04:46] <arvind_khadri> !enter krsnadasa
[04:46] <sn9_> shadow420: by rebooting
[04:46] <drash> Leefmc: i still don't get why your apt would do such a thing, goodluck with the compile
[04:46] <komputes> rand0m: what are you trying to do with it? what type of filesystem do you want to mount at startup
[04:46] <Leefmc> drash: Thanks
[04:46] <Miesco> Why did I try to force it in :(
[04:46] <Miesco> It went in so smoothly the other way around
[04:46] <krsnadasa> arvind_khadri: he dosent know
[04:46] <Leefmc> drash: Honestly, i think its just references, but i dont know anything about the references heh
[04:46] <krsnadasa> lol
[04:46] <koshari> rand0m ntfs drive or partition?
[04:46] <arvind_khadri> komputes,  rand0m it is gksu gedit /etc/fstab
[04:47] <rand0m> komputes, koshari : should i be editting this file while booted into xfce, ?? i suppose a dumb question, but i booted into gnome to find the partition name
[04:47] <arvind_khadri> !enter | krsnadasa
[04:47] <Miesco> K got it out with a toe nail cliper, just grabed it like tweasers and yanked it out
[04:47] <koshari> rand0m you only need to edit it once, otherwise another alternative would be to make a script to mount that particular drive at any time
[04:48] <krsnadasa> arvind_khadri: ;) thanks
[04:48] <arvind_khadri> krsnadasa, welcome :)
[04:48] <sn9_> Miesco: i hope you didn't squeeze

[04:49] <Shoopuf> sn9_: So you can download like from an HTTP link with wget? :O cool
[04:49] <AllSaintsDay> If I put bad options into the "right-click->properties->mount options" for a removable disk (specifically a PSP) and now it won't automount, where do I go to remove those options? There's no line in /etc/fstab for it.
[04:49] <sn9_> Miesco: does it recognize other sd cards?
[04:49] <Miesco> sn9_: I dont know

[04:52] <krsnadasa> can i get opinions on which dock program is best to use with gnome and also were to add commands to start up ?
[04:52] <krsnadasa> arvind_khadri: yay!
[04:52] <IdleOne> krsnadasa, System>Prefferences>Sessions for the startup programs
[04:52] <sn9_> rand0m: sudo fdisk -l
[04:52] <sn9_> wtf is up with this freenode lag?
[04:52] <ceue_15> oi
[04:52] <koshari> krsnadasa personally i prefer to use a single panel but i thing avast is the best dock
[04:52] <AllSaintsDay> Thanks, astro76. Back to where it was before at least. :-)
[04:53] <koshari> avant i should say
[04:53] <krsnadasa> koshari: single panel ?
[04:53] <arvind_khadri> krsnadasa, i would directly edit the rc.local dunno about the GUI one...the best doc program as in a editor would be gedit
[04:53] <Gman99999> Hey Im hooking my tv up to my laptop I can't seem to get the picture centered on the full screen, I'm sure I could figure it out but if anyone has already had this experience I would love it if they could add their two cents
[04:53] <koshari> krsnadasa yes just the one at the top rather than the default top and bottom
[04:53] <krsnadasa> arvind_khadri: dock like mac os style
[04:53] <joshual> hey folks how do I make GDM show user names in a list ?
[04:53] <krsnadasa> koshari: got you ;)
[04:54] <arvind_khadri> krsnadasa, ohh i have no idea about it :)
[04:54] <rand0m> k so, editting /etc/fstab.. do i have to put anything after "/dev/sda1       /media/S3A4004D003"  ?? i notice the other things listed half some weird tags after it
[04:54] <koshari> krsnadasa: avant is a copy of the mac dock
[04:54] <AllSaintsDay> So, now that I can at least see my PSP again, anyone know how to mount a PSP (vfat) read-write?
[04:54] <krsnadasa> arvind_khadri: ok cool ;)
[04:54] <IdleOne> kibadock
[04:54] <sn9_> Gman99999: make sure the video standard is set correctly
[04:54] <krsnadasa> koshari: yea i am using that now but buggy
[04:54] <koshari> rand0m: you will need to put ntfs3g as the filetype
[04:54] <Gman99999> sn9_ how would you go about finding that out?
[04:54] <alraune> rand0m:?
[04:55] <Gman99999> sn9_ Ive got the nvidia control panel open
[04:55] <arvind_khadri> joshual, that must be the GDM theme, the circles with user list stuff
[04:55] <sn9_> Gman99999: if you have nvidia, you may need to edit xorg.conf
[04:55] <mcdoogal> I'm looking for help on a wireless issues, (not being able to connect to wpa networks) but happy to connect to encryption-free networks.   Where would be the best place to go for assistance? (Besides google/forums/web) which didn't help me much.
[04:55] <krsnadasa> koshari: i wouldn't mind using the panel but... when i tell a program to flash it uses a very light hightlight color and also it does not match the theme what so ever
[04:55] <koshari> krsnadasa: you could try kiba dock, however its not designed to copy the mac dock so is much different
[04:55] <sn9_> Gman99999: NTSC vs. PAL
[04:55] <rand0m> basically i just want to know if this is all i put in fstab?: "/dev/sda1       /media/S3A4004D003     ntfs3g "  ?
[04:55] <Gman99999> sn9_ ok so i would need to change my settings to ntsc?
[04:55] <sn9_> mcdoogal: try fedora
[04:56] <rsys> mcdoogal, do you got a pop-up that ask the password to join that network ?
[04:56] <alraune> rand0m:  ...user rw  0 0
[04:56] <sn9_> Gman99999: is your tv ntsc, or pal?
[04:56] <rand0m> alraune, i put that after waht i put ?
[04:56] <cycom> Has anyone found a workaround for evdev spewing hundreds of ButtonPress events when you hold a mouse button down?
[04:56] <ozzloy> how do i repeat a command until it succeeds?  some elementary bash?
[04:56] <alraune> yep
[04:56] <alraune> rand0m: yep
[04:56] <mcdoogal> Yeah and i have the right password, I'm using wpa-personal because leap didn't work right either .. it gets to a point where is says "waiting for the network key from wireless network coon-net"
[04:56] <IdleOne> ozzloy, #bash perhaps
[04:57] <koshari> rand0m check this link

[04:58] <Chaotic_Descent> why am I getting file:///tmp/purpleQ396DU when Pigin messenger tries to open my HotMail account?
[04:58] <Xpistos> how do alias two commands into one
[04:59] <sn9_> Xpistos: example?
[04:59] <koshari> Xpistos with a script
[04:59] <rsys> did anyone have problem with latest wine version ?
[04:59] <Gman99999> sn9_ I found that if i move the little screen within the bigger screen which is my laptop display that it changes the position of the amount of screen that is viewable by the tv
[04:59] <Xpistos> cd and ls
[04:59] <rsys> it seems cause my ubuntu crash..
[04:59] <Chaotic_Descent> Sorry. Pidgin. I get file:///tmp/purpleQ396DU as an address, which is a blank page.
[04:59] <Gman99999> sn9_ I just wish that I could make them of equal size
[04:59] <rand0m> k im gonna test this out. rebooting
[04:59] <Miesco> nickrud: Its a xd card...
[04:59] <Xpistos> would it be cd ... | ls
[04:59] <koshari> rand0m you dont need to reboot
[04:59] <sn9_> Gman99999: change your resolution
[04:59] <alraune> rand0m: mount -a
[05:00] <koshari>  rand0m remeber this aint windows,
[05:00] <bbyever> Im not being able to print with an epson CX8300
[05:00] <sn9_> Xpistos: cd ; ls
[05:00] <astro76> Xpistos: command1; command2, or command1 && command2 so command2 will only run if command1 is successful
[05:01] <Leefmc> drash: Bah.  Because it did not protect ffmpeg by any means.
[05:01] <krsnadasa> koshari: i wouldn't mind using the panel but... when i tell a program to flash it uses a very light hightlight color and also it does not match the theme what so ever
[05:01] <drash> Leefmc: nope, never touched aptitude
[05:01] <Powitsjj> anyone know anything about hacking?
[05:01] <krsnadasa> koshari: sorry for double post just didn't get a responce
[05:01] <koshari> krsnadasa what do you mean by "flash it"
[05:01] <sn9_> dm: get a cat ;P
[05:02] <Powitsjj> like...getting into someones computer and seeing what their doing?
[05:02] <dm> sn9_ ?
[05:02] <sn9_> mice...
[05:02] <dm> sn9_ oh..
[05:02] <Leefmc> drash: K. I was told it would protect my ffmpeg build, but it didnt do crap.. argh. So frustrated, time to go hulk on something hah, anyway, thanks for your help :)
[05:02] <astro76> Powitsjj: that's cracking, and it's offtopic here for sure
[05:02] <krsnadasa> koshari: blink like when you receive a message alert in pidgin
[05:02] <Powitsjj> know where i can find a chat for that?
[05:02] <drash> Leefmc: have you seen http://www.awry.ws/rebuilding_ubuntu_ffmpeg ?
[05:02] <genii> Powitsjj: Nowhere on this server
[05:02] <dm> seriously, does anyone know anything about BTNX and a MOUSE (the kind you use on your computer, not in the mood for humor sorry)
[05:03] <krsnadasa> arvind_khadri: how do you check the kernel ver you are running?
[05:03] <Powitsjj> hmmm
[05:03] <koshari> krsnadasa i dont know why that would be happining, my panel is fine while receiving messages?
[05:03] <arvind_khadri> krsnadasa, uname -r or even -a
[05:03] <bbyever> !printing
[05:03] <Chaotic_Descent> Is there a FireFox setting for redirecting local files? I'm wondering if that's why Pidgin can't load up Hotmail.
[05:03] <Leefmc> drash: Nope
[05:03] <Leefmc> drash: Im using the one off of the forums
[05:03] <krsnadasa> koshari: mine is too its just the light tan color isn't very noticeable
[05:03] <Leefmc> drash: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095
[05:04] <krsnadasa> arvind_khadri: thanks
[05:04] <arvind_khadri> krsnadasa, :)
[05:04] <drash> Leefmc: ok, checking that one
[05:04] <m-c> Heya, what is the official line about the PPC (Mac) version of Ubuntu?  Somebody asked me about it tonight, and I was not totally sure of the answer.
[05:04] <Leefmc> drash: K thanks
[05:05] <Chaotic_Descent> Hrm... I think it was a damned Tor plugin setting. Tor was disabled, but the setting was still blocking me. -_-;
[05:05] <koshari> m-c community support
[05:05] <Leefmc> drash: Man this is a huge pain. Pretty lame you need to compile this for such a popular choice
[05:05] <arvind_khadri> Chaotic_Descent, there is nothing like that AFAIK , there had been some documentation for hotmail users..i havent gone through it...if there is #pidgin you can ask there
[05:05] <sn9_> m-c: it's officially unofficial
[05:05] <Xpistos> Thanks guys
[05:05] <m-c> koshari: Is there a 8.04 release, for  example ?  sn9_
[05:05] <Powitsjj> shouldnt it work on any intel cpu?
[05:05] <sn9_> m-c: yes, and it works great
[05:05] <krsnadasa> koshari: how about the theme issue? my bar is white and all the windows are black with the glass engine ?
[05:05] <Powitsjj> the intel version that is
[05:05] <Leefmc> drash: Im confused as why its even needed anyway. Isn't x264 open source? Why can't they distribute x264 compiled in ffmpeg
[05:05] <koshari> m-c there is for the ps3 dunno about other ppc ports
[05:05] <m-c> sn9_: Oh, I guess I misspoke.  Glad I came in here to check
[05:05] <krsnadasa> koshari: i have the bar set to use the theme but nothing special happens
[05:06] <m-c> sn9_: Where do you "get" this PPC port?
[05:06] <rand0m> had no luck mounting or automounting that drive
[05:06] <drash> Leefmc: i'm just a regular user myself, can't answer those :) legelistics i suppose
[05:06] <arvind_khadri> krsnadasa, are you using emerald??
[05:06] <rand0m> sudo mount won even work now
[05:06] <koshari> krsnadasa i use clearlooks theme with gartoon icons and emerald windowmanager with a glass theme
[05:06] <krsnadasa> arvind_khadri: yes sir
[05:06] <Leefmc> drash: Yea, i just dont get why one opensource cant use another, its just lame heh.
[05:06] <rand0m> I get mount point /media/windows does not exist
[05:06] <sn9_> m-c: in the ports directory of the cdimage download server
[05:06] <arvind_khadri> krsnadasa, then after you change a theme then you should use emerald --replace
[05:07] <m-c> okay, thank you, sn9_

[05:07] <krsnadasa> koshari: and that changes the little bar thingy ?
[05:08] <Chaotic_Descent> arvind_khadri: it was the Tor plugin, Torbutton or something. :S I fixed it.

[05:19] <pabix> Hello, I have many files named ClusterInfo in many directories; I would like to extract the lines 8n+3 in each; I tried « find . -name ClusterInfo -execdir awk 'NR%8==3' {} > Means \; » but it writes to the file Means in the PWD
[05:19] <sn9_> jm2k: you don't -- they're all in the kernel pkgs
[05:20] <pabix> Is there a way with find?
[05:20] <Miesco> hold on, install sdricoh-cs
[05:20] <nickrud> jm2k the hardware drivers are part of the kernel, you get them all at once
[05:20] <astro76> powertool|lappy: there's little reason for most people to have a separate /boot, and performance isn't one of them ;)
[05:20] <bbyever> where can i get help with the gutenprint driver?
[05:20] <rand0m> is there a better bittorrent client i can use in xfce than transmission?
[05:20] <sn9_> Miesco: that's for a pc card adapter
[05:20] <maco> pabix: um, what do you *expect* "> Means" to do?
[05:20] <redct> rand0m: transmission usually works quite well
[05:21] <arvind_khadri> rand0m, #xubuntu :D
[05:21] <mikemorr> Hello all. I just booted from the 8.04.1 CD. I got past the language selection and to the menu. When I pick "Install Ubuntu" or "Check CD for defects" the logo appears and the progress bar goes back and forth and then freezes. Now it is frozen. Any ideas on what's wrong?
[05:21] <nickrud> powertool|lappy separate boot is needed for lvm, and raid if you're lazy
[05:21] <rand0m> redct, i could just be retarded but it seems oddly slow
[05:21] <kari> can any one help with transmission..
[05:21] <pabix> maco, I would like it to write One file "Means" for each original file
[05:21] <maco> mikemorr: possibly the CD has defects
[05:21] <pabix> in the same directory
[05:21] <redct> mikemorr: there's most likely defects on the CD
[05:21] <rand0m> oh xubuntu just means ubuntu with xfce DE instead of Gnome ?
[05:21] <sn9_> mikemorr: is it a recent computer?
[05:21] <redct> mikemorr: burn a new one
[05:21] <mikemorr> maco: thanks
[05:21] <nickrud> mikemorr I'd bet on bad disk/iso download
[05:21] <redct> rand0m: yup.
[05:21] <jm2k> so, where is the source located for my current kernel?
[05:21] <arvind_khadri> rand0m, yup!!
[05:21] <Miesco> sn9_: Hmm?
[05:21] <chalcedony> mikemorr: i went through that 100 times and finally sent the mb back
[05:21] <mikemorr> redct: thanks
[05:22] <tritium> jm2k: in a package you'd need to download
[05:22] <maco> pabix: oh...probably have to send the list of files to a for loop then do the writing in the for loop
[05:22] <paul_5666> sorry (; basically ive installed vmware server using a rpm due to my inexperience with ubuntu. it was very large being nearly 500mb, and thus i was lazy and just tried to use alien to convert it to a deb file. the install broke halfway and now i can't install any packages as it seems the update manager has stuffed up. ive posted on the forum here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=854782
[05:22] <pabix> maco, I did: find . -name ClusterInfo | while read i; do awk 'NR%8==3' "$i" > "$(dirname "$i")"/Means ; done
[05:22] <redct> jm2k: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[05:22] <jm2k> tritium: package name?
[05:22] <mikemorr> sn9_: refurb HP Intel 2 Quad 6600, 4GB RAM
[05:22] <chalcedony> mikearr: bad cd was what i kept being told .. i swapped the cd drive, the cds and even the hd
[05:22] <nickrud> jm2k if you want the source, install linux-source . If you want to see what modules you have, look in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
[05:22] <powertool|lappy> nickrud: whats lvm? encryption?
[05:22] <pabix> but I would have liked a single command with find
[05:22] <khin> hey, i just upgraded from dapper to hardy and now when i try to load phpmyadmin on localhost, i get: phpMyAdmin - Error

[05:22] <rareed> can anyone point me to a good guide for troubleshooting wireless networking?  My wireless ran fine on Ubuntu for nearly a year, but recently it has been performing extremely poorly
[05:22] <Miesco> nickrud: So it doesn't work?
[05:22] <sn9_> mikemorr: try booting safe graphics mode
[05:22] <maco> pabix: ah, sorry, dunno about that
[05:22] <mikemorr> nickrud: thanks. I'll try burning a new one maybe
[05:22] <Jason2gs> Hi everyone :) Should I have to do anything special to have Ubuntu transfer sound to my monitor headphone jack?
[05:23] <redct> Jason2gs: it should usually work automatically
[05:23] <nickrud> !md5 | mikemorr do this first, to check your download
[05:23] <maco> Jason2gs: have the monitor's sound plug connected to the tower
[05:23] <mikemorr> chalcedony: I hope it's not that bad :) It runs Vista fine.
[05:23] <pabix> maco, do you think on #gnu they all have a beard and are rude, or could I ask them?
[05:23] <Jason2gs> Sound plug?
[05:23] <redct> khin: try installing the php5-mysql package.  use your favorite package manager
[05:23] <nickrud> Miesco sounds like it won't read xd from what I've read
[05:23] <maco> pabix: never been in that channel, sorry
[05:23] <Jason2gs> Ah, there it is :p
[05:23] <chalcedony> mikearr: i'm sure you will be ok , terrify it :)
[05:23] <Jason2gs> Haha ^_^
[05:23] <jm2k> nickrud: where does the linux-source get installed? Dir ?
[05:23] <pabix> maco, then I will try, thank you for your help
[05:23] <maco> jm2k: /usr/src/ i believe
[05:23] <nickrud> jm2k in /usr/src , it will be a tarball
[05:23] <tritium> jm2k: what are you trying to do?
[05:23] <paul_5666> unbottu: nope didnt work
[05:24] <sn9_> pabix: there is also #posix
[05:24] <Xpistos> failed to mount windows share? I don't get it I can see it
[05:24] <mikemorr> nickrud: Thanks. I did md5 it and it matched the hash at one of the mirrors (8.04.1 hash wasn't up yet at ubuntu.com last I checked)
[05:24] <khin> redct, php5-mysql is installed
[05:24] <pabix> sn9_, for find related matters?
[05:24] <tony12> r
[05:24] <sn9_> oh
[05:24] <redct> khin: hrm... :/
[05:24] <nickrud> mikemorr I read something about that on the lists, I guess you'd have to trust the mirror listing
[05:24] <tritium> jm2k: linux-source-2.6.24 is in the repos, but why do you think you need it?
[05:24] <jm2k> tritium, i downloaded the tarball earlier and followed some site directions. wanted to make sure that if i manually delete the source from /usr/src/ that i can reinstall it there again.
[05:25] <tritium> jm2k: for what purpose?
[05:25] <sn9_> jm2k: in the time you've spent here, you could have reinstalled from scratch and restored all your data
[05:25] <jm2k> tritium: having trouble installing madwifi (becuz wireless stopped working).
[05:25] <arvind_khadri> paul_5666, its jus a bot :)
[05:25] <paul_5666> o xD
[05:26] <paul_5666> oops
[05:26] <sn9_> jm2k: madwifi is preinstalled by default
[05:26] <tritium> jm2k: madwifi is provided for you in the restricted drivers
[05:26] <jm2k> sn9_: true but i also want to learn ;) i just havent followed directions appropriately earlier today.
[05:26] <jm2k> LOL
[05:26] <tritium> No need to install source, jm2k.
[05:27] <arvind_khadri> paul_5666, what happens when you run apt-get??
[05:27] <Miesco> nickrud: Can I get a driver?  I got this sdricoh-cs module
[05:27] <Miesco> I loaded it
[05:27] <paul_5666> which command specifially?
[05:27] <Miesco> I had to compile it
[05:27] <Miesco> http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=243
[05:27] <RequinB4> I read somewhere that I could use a line in port as a headphone port -- how can I tell what is a line in port and how would I make this happen?
[05:27] <rareed> After over a year of excellent performance, my wireless has mostly stopped working with ubuntu.  Any suggestions on where to get started fixing it?
[05:27] <arvind_khadri> paul_5666, say apt-get install <packagename> ,while the vmare is off
[05:27] <sn9_> RequinB4: only on some motherboards
[05:27] <bullgard4> What is meant by 'su-to-root' in 'man keytouch(1)': "keytouch-keyboard is a wrapper that acquires root permission to run keytouch-keyboard-bin (with su-to-root) and optionally (if --restart-keytouch is given as argument) calls keytouch."?
[05:28] <paula> rg
[05:28] <nickrud> Miesco I'm not sure. I don't have a card to experiment with myself, so I don't have an opinion on the instructions
[05:28] <arvind_khadri> !tab | paul_5666
[05:28] <jm2k> tritium: was trying the thinkwiki directions of reinstalling wireless drivers w/ madwifi but am suppose to compile madwifi.
[05:28] <RequinB4> sn9 -- ok, but how can I tell if I can do this?  My headphone port isn't liking me
[05:28] <Shoopuf> "bash: sudo: command not found" ???????
[05:28] <Miesco> nickrud: Okay, thanks, i'll just do it on another computer
[05:28] <sn9_> jm2k: don't do that
[05:28] <tritium> jm2k: don't follow those directions.  You already have madwifi
[05:28] <redct> bullgard4: it means run sudo, or to run the command as root
[05:28] <redct> !sudo | bullgard4
[05:28] <arvind_khadri> bullgard4, the command must be used with sudo i guess
[05:28] <jm2k> tritium: when i did "make" on madwifi it kept saying kernelpath incorrect.
[05:28] <nickrud> bullgard4 it's a command, locate su-to-root
[05:29] <arvind_khadri> Shoopuf, you must have missed something check again
[05:29] <sn9_> RequinB4: by reading your motherboard's manual

[05:29] <khin> Hmmm... I have reinstalled php5-mysql to see what would happen. Now it says I do not have permission to access phpmyadmin on this server!
[05:29] <tritium> jm2k: please inspect the output of "modprobe -l | grep madwifi" to see for yourself that you already have madwifi.
[05:29] <paul_5666> lol tab is awesome
[05:29] <mikemorr> sn9_: I hit F4 for Modes and picked "Safe graphics mode" and it stays on the main menu. Do I need to pick "Try Ubuntu" after that?
[05:29] <tritium> paul_5666: so is not pasting
[05:29] <nickrud> paul_5666  sudo dpkg -i  <the vmware deb you downloaded>
[05:29] <jm2k> tritium: okay. however none of the ATH_ modules are installed.
[05:30] <tritium> jm2k: sure they are
[05:30] <sn9_> mikemorr: try F6 and getting rid of the "quiet splash" part
[05:30] <arvind_khadri> paul_5666, sudo apt-get --purge vmware-server then install it
[05:30] <paul_5666> ok
[05:30] <jm2k> tritium: u R right, they are there,
[05:30] <tritium> jm2k: ls /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/madwifi/ | grep ath
[05:30] <sn9_> mikemorr: replace it with "debug"
[05:31] <jm2k> trtium: i'm assuming those drivers/modules are working correctly? how could i check?
[05:31] <mikemorr> sn9_: deleted "quiet splash" and hit enter (didn't see your second line in time)
[05:31] <paul_5666> arvind_khadri: E: Invalid operation vmware-server
[05:31] <jm2k> trtium: output is: "ath_rate_minstrel.ko"

[05:31] <nickrud> paul_5666  sudo apt-get remove --purge vmware-server
[05:31] <bullgard4> nickrud, arvind_khadri: Thank you for your help.
[05:32] <mikemorr> sn9_: Now I've got one screen of text (configuring, detecting, etc.)
[05:32] <tritium> jm2k: you should have others
[05:32] <arvind_khadri> paul_5666, nickrud is right
[05:32] <arvind_khadri> bullgard4, welcome :)
[05:32] <sn9_> vexati0n: because you didn't turn it off in the bios
[05:32]  * nickrud waited for arvind_khadri but couldn't forever ;)

[05:33] <FloodBot2> paul_5666: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:33] <mikemorr> sn9_: It has stopped after "[ 243.839163] hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected"

[05:33] <arvind_khadri> !paste | paul_5666
[05:33] <bullgard4> redct: After the nickrud and arvind_khadri helped me, I know now that your answer: " it means run sudo, or to run the command as root" is not the truth.
[05:33] <sn9_> mikemorr: do you have any usb devices?
[05:33] <paul_5666> o ok =\
[05:33] <jm2k> tritium: ah, the changed to my current kernel. yes, have more: ath, ath_hal, ath_rate, patches.
[05:33] <mikemorr> sn9_: yes
[05:33] <sn9_> mikemorr: unplug them
[05:34] <redct> bullgard4: sorry if I messed you up then :)
[05:34] <nickrud> paul_5666 now that you've learned about pasting, do    sudo dpkg -i  <vmware-server deb you downloaded>
[05:34] <tritium> jm2k: which kernel are you running?
[05:34] <jm2k> 2.6.22-14
[05:34] <Shak-> I need a little help.. I just used kernelcheck to upgrade my kernel, but I'm confused as to how to get my nvidia drivers working.. do I have to use synaptic to get a new package?
[05:34] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, his vmware has been purged yet :)
[05:34] <tritium> jm2k: you're not on hardy?
[05:34] <mikemorr> sn9_: ok. I'll unplug them and then reboot with "debug" in place of "quiet splash" (tell me if that's not the right thing to do)
[05:35] <sn9_> wtf is kernelcheck?
[05:35] <bullgard4> redct: Enjoy Ubuntu!
[05:35] <nickrud> arvind_khadri dpkg will install it directly, unlike apt skipping it if it's already installed
[05:35] <_2>           i get about 20 screen-fulls of and ending with this  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d9633ca2  in the console and dvdrip app dies,  anyone know a cure/work_around/alternative ?
[05:35] <paul_5666> arvind_khadri: its doing something ^^

[05:35] <Soulwarp> !nvidia | Shak-
[05:35] <jm2k> tritium: yes, on Hardy. but when it upgraded dunno why it stuck with 2.6.22-14 kernel.
[05:35] <redct> _2: It looks like your drive is having some problems
[05:35] <redct> _2: My laptop started spitting out those errors right before the HD died
[05:35] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, oh i see...
[05:35] <Shak-> sn9_: it automates installing a kernel, check it o ut
[05:35] <sn9_> that's excessive
[05:35] <sn9_> tritium: that's excessive
[05:36] <_2> redct interesting.   did you read the post ^  ?
[05:36] <tritium> sn9_: no, I'm serious.  Please keep this family friendly.
[05:36] <_2> redct or just look at the pastebin ?
[05:36] <tritium> jm2k: is "linux-generic" not installed?  That should pull in the latest kernel.
[05:37] <paul_5666> ah, it died, i shall paste in pastebin for u the error
[05:37] <nickrud> paul_5666 yes

[05:38] <_2> anyone ??
[05:38] <sn9_> nickrud: i have conformed to a G rating
[05:38] <mikemorr> sn9_: it seems to be getting farther than before :)

[05:38] <_2> alraune   ^
[05:38] <jm2k> nickrud: does the "appropriate language policy" apply only to english or all languages? ;)
[05:39] <nickrud> jm2k the ones I speak and and curse in, ymmv
[05:39] <sn9_> jm2k: don't test it
[05:39] <LogicalDash> jm2k: the different language rooms for Ubuntu each have policies in their own language, read them
[05:39] <krsnadasa> any one ?
[05:40] <sn9_> krsnadasa: just type that
[05:40] <Jax> Hey who should i talk to for help installing ubuntu 8.04?
[05:40] <LogicalDash> Jax, this seems like a good place, but you should ask specific questions
[05:40] <sn9_> !anyone | Jax
[05:40] <alraune> _2:looks like a bad filesystem, when do you get these errors? bootup?
[05:40] <arvind_khadri> paul_5666, sudo dpkg --purge vmware-server && dpkg -i vmware-server
[05:41] <krsnadasa> sn9_: yea i did but does it just automatically use that firmware ?
[05:41] <_2> alraune just before dvdrip crashes
[05:41] <krsnadasa> sn9_: or is there some kind of command i have to use ?
[05:41] <nickrud> arvind_khadri dpkg -r
[05:41] <sn9_> krsnadasa: should
[05:41] <Soulwarp> Shak-: you may want to read the guide a bit further for the trouble shooting
[05:41] <krsnadasa> sn9_: automatically ?
[05:41] <sn9_> yes
[05:41] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, aah thats the way we purge using dpkg right??
[05:41] <Soulwarp> Shak-: there is a file you must edit if you want to enable hardware acceleration
[05:42] <mikemorr> sn9_: woot! I unplugged my USB stuff and it booted this time!
[05:42] <mikemorr> :)
[05:42] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, i had read somewhere that purge removes all the config files too...and that was the syntax
[05:42] <Jax> Does anyone/anybody know how to fix a problem i'm having........I'm trying to install ubuntu in a 2nd partion on my pc (with Xp on the other) and when i try to install it using the GUI it loads up to were i see the background screen and the window for the install info, and some weird graphic corruption or something in it to the left side, what do i need to do?
[05:42] <nickrud> arvind_khadri heh. had to go back to the man page, you're right that dpkg --purge is correct syntax
[05:43] <paul_5666> arvind_khadri: it wont purge but its trying to install now
[05:43] <sn9_> Jax: laptop or desktop?
[05:43] <sol> anyone familiar with lm-sensors?
[05:43] <paul_5666> arvind_khadri: and install just failed
[05:43] <Jax> Desktop
[05:43] <arvind_khadri> nickrud :) thank god... planning to write LPI 101 :D
[05:43]  * nickrud is leary of messing with dpkg database in vmware-server
[05:43] <sn9_> Jax: which video card?
[05:43] <Jax> nvidia 7800 GT
[05:44] <Shak-> Soulwarp: I suppose you're referring to xorg.conf? I've edited to match the correct settings, but what I think i'm missing is nvidia-glx-new for my new kernel
[05:44] <krsnadasa> sn9_: thanks
[05:44] <arvind_khadri> paul_5666, wtf ...
[05:44] <sn9_> tritium: ^^^
[05:44] <LogicalDash> Jax: one solution would be to use the alternate install disc, which lets you do the whole install in text mode
[05:44] <nickrud> paul_5666 put a copy of /var/lib/dpkg/archive/vmware.postrm  on the pastebin
[05:44]  * arvind_khadri sorry for foul language
[05:44] <krsnadasa> any one have a idea why the burn effect is glitching with a geforce 9300 ?
[05:45] <paul_5666> nickrud: ok
[05:45] <Jax> ugh.... how do i use txt mode?...... i've never used linux at all before
[05:45] <nickrud> paul_5666 sorry, the path was  /var/lib/dpkg/info/vmware.postrm
[05:45] <tritium> arvind_khadri: thanks
[05:45] <LogicalDash> Jax: Well, there are still menus and everything, you just have to use your arrow keys to navigate them
[05:45] <sn9_> Jax: have you tried "safe graphics mode" ?
[05:45] <paul_5666> nickrud: rgr
[05:45] <khin> oh hey. wtf is wrong with the time on my computer. i just upgraded to hardy and thought this problem would go away, but my time is perpetually 4 hours behind when it is supposed to be when i boot up. if i reset this and then reboot, it returns to being 4 hours behind. this is ever so vexatious!
[05:45] <Jax> oh no i haven't........ would that fix it do you thinkk?
[05:46] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, you handle it ... me out for breakfast :D will be back soon.... need to see how it has to be debugged :D
