[04:06] <Niklazz> Amaranth: yes, igot the same problem
[04:06] <WolfBlade> HELLO PPL
[04:06] <soundray> ushaba: what's a better distribution for beginners then?
[04:06] <joeljkp> is anyone else getting two grayed-out checkboxes in today's updates?
[04:06] <Twinviper> not yet Gaia... just dloading it now
[04:06] <jay> I got my drivers partially working (8.3.2)... fglrx fails to load though bcoz the system deletes fglrx.ko from /lib/modules/$(uname -r) when fglrx is blacklisted. If I copy it back there and restart the server, fglrx loads nicely. I've tried depmod -ae after copying the file and restarting GDM. that doesn't work
[04:06] <Amaranth> kuw88: Applications->Add/Remove
[04:06] <||cw> Twinviper: not at all.  basicly, if you can boot the live cd, it will be easy as cake.  if you can't boot the live cd, then the hardware is a bit odd and you are at worst out one CDR disk.
[04:06] <GaiaX11> Twinviper: You are in the right way
[04:07] <kuw88> the java not work with me
[04:07] <IdleOne> kuw88: sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jre

[04:07] <Pici> !repeat | jay
[04:07] <ubotu> jay: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[04:07] <GaiaX11> Twinviper: Do not download Live Cd. Download the alternate cd
[04:08] <iratik> wow... i really can't talk about this here
[04:08] <Twinviper> cw : tried mandrake many moons ago but not many "new hardware devices" were supported... im a retired pc tech so have a fair knowledge of pc things
[04:08] <soundray> GaiaX11: don't confuse
[04:08] <IdleOne> GaiaX11: alternate cd is not for a newbie  Twinviper is better off with the live cd as it has a GUI and alternate doesnt
[04:08] <iratik> can anyone private me ?
[04:08] <ConstyXIV> would anyone know how to restore the default bootsplash?
[04:08] <Twinviper> Gaia : alternative?
[04:09] <kuw88> the java tell that
[04:09] <kuw88> Reading package lists... Done
[04:09] <kuw88> Building dependency tree... Done
[04:09] <Niklazz> My TFT Monitor has an problem to enter the ubuntu setup, it says theres an unknown Frequency, I already tried the Graphic safe mode but theres the same error, what could it also be? - PLZ HLP
[04:09] <kuw88> Initializing package states... Done
[04:09] <soundray> Twinviper: if you picked the Desktop CD for downloading, you've made a choice; don't listen to GaiaX11 (sorry GaiaX11)
[04:09] <kuw88> Building tag database... Done
[04:09] <Twinviper> im grabbing the 6.10-desktop-i386.iso
[04:09] <kuw88> Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "sun-java5-jre"
[04:09] <kuw88> The following packages have been kept back:
[04:09] <kuw88>   linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386
[04:09] <kuw88> 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
[04:09] <kuw88> Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
[04:09] <soundray> Twinviper: good choice
[04:09] <GaiaX11> Twinviper: So you will have much more options
[04:09] <GaiaX11> IdleOne: it is not good to treat the nb like having no mind at all
[04:09] <asdfj> Twinviper: try the live distributions first to see how they work with your hardware
[04:09] <kuw88> so what can i do now
[04:10] <babo> I saw a flag icon before in ubuntu somewhere, I think it denoted a change of languages or something like that. It was probably a gnome theme. Does anyone know where I can find it ? ... It was an austrailian (I think) flag with another flag behind it ...
[04:10] <Twinviper> live = latest release?
[04:10] <babo> I've looked in /usr/share/icons ...
[04:10] <Belboz99> hey all, I compiled the 2.6.20 kernel and now I have no audio, audio files play properly, but there's no sound coming to the speakers, any ideas?
[04:10] <GaiaX11> soundray: And we are here to help them to install
[04:10] <soundray> GaiaX11: newbie or not, there is no good reason to recommend alternate over desktop at the stage that Twinviper is at
[04:10] <Belboz99> nevermind :-P
[04:10] <asdfj> Twinviper: no, live = runs off of the CD only, doesn't install on the hard drive
[04:11] <Twinviper> asdfj that sounds like a good option till i learn it
[04:11] <GaiaX11> soundray: there are people who do not agree with you
[04:11] <asdfj> Twinviper: some live distros will allow you to install to hard drive after you boot it
[04:11] <ConstyXIV> alt cd is easy enough.  I used it when I started on ubuntu, i had no choice
[04:11] <ConstyXIV> back around 5.10 beta
[04:12] <asdfj> Twinviper: definetly, that is what I did. I run Ubuntu on a Thinkpad laptop now
[04:12] <soundray> GaiaX11: I'll be happy to discuss that, as long as it doesn't confuse a self-confessed newbie. #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[04:13] <kuw88> can i e the paltalk on the ubuntu?
[04:13] <hoehaver> how do you install a pssword for samba?
[04:13] <ConstyXIV> kuw88: what?
[04:13] <kuw88> can i use the paltalk on the ubuntu
[04:14] <GaiaX11> soundray: Ok I will not go further, but I do not agree with you. For me it is better to start with the alternate :-)
[04:14] <ConstyXIV> !paltalk
[04:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about paltalk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:14] <ConstyXIV> kuw88: what is paltalk?
[04:14] <erUSUL> hoehaver: smbpasswd ??
[04:14] <hoehaver> last time I had samba installed...before the networked windows machine could access it..i had to have a password for samba..
[04:14] <hoehaver> I had to set it up ya know..
[04:15] <kuw88> the paltalk program for talking with voive in the xp
[04:15] <asdfj> Twinviper: the desktop iso you are downloading is a live cd, so you make sure you have the 'boot from cd-rom' option turned on in your BIOS
[04:15] <erUSUL> !samba | hoehaver
[04:15] <ubotu> hoehaver: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[04:15] <soundray> GaiaX11: I'd like to know why, though -- do you want to tell me in #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[04:15] <kuw88> voive = voice
[04:15] <Twinviper> asdf : already set ! ;)
[04:15] <alex_> Hey, my sound stopped working in ubuntu, can anyome help me locate the problem and mabye a solution? :)
[04:16] <ConstyXIV> kuw88: you maybe mean like skype?
[04:16] <asdfj> Twinviper: you are good to go then, have fun!
[04:16] <soundray> !sound | alex_
[04:16] <ubotu> alex_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[04:16] <r00tintheb0x> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p79F-qdCCDU
[04:16] <r00tintheb0x> lol
[04:16] <hoehaver> smbpasswd works.
[04:16] <hoehaver> does anyone know the defalt password?
[04:16] <kuw88> yes like skype
[04:16] <hoehaver> hjust qurious...
[04:16] <Twinviper> Consty paltalk is video conferencing software ( webcam/sound)
[04:16] <dyrne> alex_: open a terminal and run alsamixer.  then play around with the settings while an mp3 file or something is playing
[04:16] <alex_> ok
[04:16] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, what happened to your sound??? was it working earlier?
[04:16] <ConstyXIV> so is skype
[04:17] <alex_> it was working great
[04:17] <alex_> it just stopped working, it works in windows
[04:17] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, do 1 thing! open terminal and type alsamixer in it
[04:17] <asdfj> hoehaver: no, use sudo and create a password if you really need it
[04:17] <alex_> and i tried playing with the volume of each device while audio was playing
[04:17] <dfgas> bah, why is my website so slow, it used to be faster, is there anything that would slow down the access of my site?
[04:17] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, i think its just been muted!
[04:17] <FaintofHeart> Can someone help me? I am having trouble getting my graphics card to top performance. Direct rendering is enabled, but the visuals are still lagging. I'm not even trying to run a demanding game.
[04:17] <yellowdart> my laptop hangs on boot when initializing the network.. the issue has to be my wifi not connecting (or my lan being unplugged for that matter) any idea how to let it fail gracefully and move on quickly?
[04:17] <alex_> i will do alsamixer now
[04:17] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, yes
[04:17] <freezey> how do i set a root password?
[04:17] <alex_> it's not muted
[04:18] <Pici> !root | freezey
[04:18] <ubotu> freezey: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:18] <soundray> freezey: that's not recommended
[04:18] <asdfj> freezy: sudo passwd
[04:18] <alex_> alsamixer is open, now what?
[04:18] <soundray> asdfj: please don't give that advice
[04:18] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, just set the volume settings
[04:18] <freezey> soundray: yeah but its kind of needed in some occasions
[04:18] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, just set the Master volume, and PCM
[04:18] <asdfj> well, he asked that question ;-)
[04:18] <yellowdart> freezey, totally not recommended.. if you want to run as root for an extended time try sudo -i
[04:18] <alex_> okay
[04:18] <aa_> how depressing, edgy installer always fails at 24% "Copying Files"
[04:18] <soundray> freezey: example?
[04:19] <aa_> is there any way I can get more debug information?
[04:19] <alex_> but sound stopped working without me touching setting, what else can it be?
[04:19] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, it happens alex, dont worry
[04:19] <FaintofHeart> Does anyone here know anything about visual settings? I am having trouble properly configuring my chipset to get top performance.
[04:19] <freezey> soundray: sudo gets annoying sometimes doing it constantly and when i got a bunch of root commands to run its easier to be in root... i am used to slackware
[04:19] <asdfj> freezey: disregard what I said and listen to yellowdart
[04:19] <soundray> freezey: just use 'sudo -i'
[04:19] <alex_> I have no master volume or PCM in alsamixer
[04:19] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, just start playing some sound file, and set volume
[04:19] <nilsl> How do I run hardware detection after the install?
[04:19] <aa_> I know the cd is ok because I just installed another machine from it
[04:20] <FaintofHeart> Does anyone here know anything about visual settings? I am having trouble properly configuring my chipset to get top performance.
[04:20] <freezey> does anybody know how to access the mail logs for a user in ubuntu?
[04:20] <alex_> I have only IEC variations and Analog variations (A live stream is playing in the playing, but no sound is there.)
[04:20] <aa_> can I run the installer verbosely?
[04:20] <alex_> I have no master volume or PCM
[04:21] <freezey> soundray: do you know where the users mail log is?
[04:21] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, oh! sorry! i cant help then! i got the similar problem, but i think it was different now! :(
[04:21] <VSpike> What is the difference between package "linux" (Generic complete linux kernel) and package "linux-generic" (Complete Generic Linux Kernel) ?
[04:21] <varg> anyone know why a fresh installation of ubuntu cant view/open xpm files?
[04:21] <alex_> damn
[04:21] <alex_> anything else i can try?
[04:21] <freezey> like how do i check somebodys mail in ubuntu?
[04:22] <Pici> varg: whats an xpm file?
[04:22] <varg> image
[04:22] <nilsl> freezey: What mail?
[04:22] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, i just played some sound file, and opened alsamixer, cuz of some problem with my volume control. The i just set the volume settings, and it was done! i think u have something much messier than i had!
[04:22] <idefix> why does ubuntu always make filename~ files when you edit the file?
[04:22] <aa_> no suggestions, on making the installer install with debug information?
[04:22] <ConstyXIV> Pici: i believe it's the X11 equivalent of BMP in windows
[04:22] <alex_> probably
[04:22] <freezey> nilsl: the mail that each usr recievs.... say i setting up postfix and i sent a test mail to my user... i wanna see how i can check that
[04:22] <alex_> so i need to reinstall ubuntu?
[04:22] <MarcoPau> I have a Geforce 4 MX, are there drivers for it in the repositories? thanks
[04:23] <alex_> i dont see another option
[04:23] <asdfj> idefix: ~ files are backups created by the editor. It depends on the editor you use.
[04:23] <Pici> varg: What are you trying/expecting to open it with?
[04:23] <hayden> !nvidia | MacroPau
[04:23] <ubotu> MacroPau: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:23] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, maybe someone better than me can help you! sorry!
[04:23] <gOLdenHaWK3D> :(
[04:24] <soundray> freezey: there isn't a per-user log.
[04:24] <varg> gimp/gqview/gthumb, the only thing that can open them is the Wharf in Afterstep
[04:24] <freezey> soundray: yes there is
[04:24] <alex_> yeah
[04:24] <freezey> soundray: its to check the users recieved mail
[04:24] <pfein> any usbserial / EVDO users out there?
[04:24] <alex_> i tried posting in ofrums and that wasnt any help
[04:24] <nilsl> How do I run hardware detection after the install?
[04:24] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, oh!
[04:25] <alex_> ?
[04:25] <soundray> freezey: received mail goes to /var/mail/username
[04:25] <asdfj> nilsl, what hardware do you need detecting?
[04:25] <pfein> I have a Kyocera KP-650 that's detected under Dapper but not Edgy.
[04:25] <nilsl> asdfj: For my NIC
[04:26] <soundray> freezey: that's not a log though.
[04:26] <alex_> gOLdenHaWK3D, did you find something or were you just saying oh?
[04:26] <LinTux> Has anybody managed to get the Nvidia 7300LE working with Edgy Eft?
[04:26] <hai> hi
[04:27] <asdfj> nilsl: see if you need to install a special driver for it, is it anything exotic (rare) or just a typical NIC card?
[04:27] <gOLdenHaWK3D> alex_, no dude! i didnt! i told you everything i knew! sorry ! :(
[04:27] <dyrne> alex_: you could maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-utils ... maybe
[04:27] <finalbeta> Anyone knows an alternative to sourceforge? A good one. Sourceforge is just way to slow these days. it's useless.
[04:27] <alex_> i'll try that
[04:28] <yellowdart> nilsl, is your nic a pcmcia card on a laptop by chance?
[04:28] <nilsl> asdfj: Just a typical NIC, I'd like to use the hardware detection that is used in the installer.
[04:28] <nilsl> yellowdart: No.
[04:28] <alex_> dyme, i did that, it took less then a second
[04:28] <alex_> is that normal?
[04:28] <iratik> How do I recompile my kernel?
[04:29] <alex_> alex@alex-desktop:~$  sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-utils
[04:29] <alex_> alex@alex-desktop:~$
[04:29] <erUSUL> !kernel | iratik
[04:29] <ubotu> iratik: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[04:29] <yellowdart> nilsl, you can do lspci to list all of your devices
[04:30] <nilsl> yellowdart: Yes, and it is not found.
[04:30] <iratik> is there a one-line command for recompiling the kernel ?
[04:31] <iratik> or... apt-get dist-reinstall ? something like that?
[04:31] <asdfj> nilsl: what does your lspci command tell you about your NIC?
[04:31] <nilsl> asdfj: It's not there
[04:31] <knoppix_> un francais ?
[04:31] <iratik> knoppix_: allez a #ubuntu-fr
[04:32] <nilsl> asdfj: Or rather, nothing happens ...

[04:32] <Zaggynl> iratik, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491
[04:32] <Jimmey> I'm helping my friend install Ubuntu 6.10 via the liveCD. Without knowing any better, he selected the normal boot option, where perhaps he should've selected the safe graphics mode option, when booting the CD - And he couldn't get X to run. I'm talking him through selecting vesa as the graphics driver now, but if he installs Ubuntu, will vesa be the default xserver driver? Or will he have to reconfigure X after the system's install
[04:32] <yellowdart> nilsl, have you tried moving it to another pci slot? lspci will list hardware regardless of whether a module is loaded or not
[04:32] <nilsl> asdfj: Gosh, yes.
[04:32] <knoppix_> il y a des francais
[04:33] <iratik> what is this for
[04:33] <nilsl> yellowdart: Well, nothing happens when I run lspci actually.
[04:33] <nilsl> It prompts.
[04:33] <iratik> mais il n'y a personne ici qui parle francais

[04:34] <iratik> oui... ecoutez a ubotu-- allez a #ubuntu-fr
[04:34] <nilsl> yellowdart: This disk was on another computer, I just swapped it over, so ... I know that probably many modules are not loaded, thus I need the installer hardware detection.
[04:34] <aa_> does the alternate installer offer a more traditional install method? Or am I stuck with this live-cd thing?
[04:34] <kenthomson> mais il n'y a personne ici qui parle francais oui... ecoutez a ubotu--- allez
[04:34] <marianet> hello
[04:34] <nilsl> And that was my initial question; how do you access the hardwere detection post installation?
[04:34] <asdfj> nilsl: can you post lspci | grep -i net result?
[04:34] <iratik> Zaggynl: what was that for ?
[04:35] <bulmer> nilsl: can you try  lshw command?
[04:35] <Zaggynl> iratik, It's a guide for recompiling the kernel
[04:35] <Pici> aa_: The alternative CD is not a live C
[04:35] <iratik> oh awesome
[04:35] <iratik> its just soo... long
[04:35] <aa_> Pici: thank goodness for that
[04:35] <iratik> there isn't a one-liner to rebuild the kernel ?
[04:35] <nilsl> asdfj: Yes, nothing ...
[04:35] <MikeDona> Hello there! I have a small but nasty problem with the linux image on dapper. I need to update the current running kernel but when I try to, apt says that the package "linux-image-686" has broken dependencies...
[04:36] <marianet> i have a problem with this page http://www.ntd2007.com.ar/
[04:36] <yellowdart> nilsl, i see.. hardware SHOULD be autodetected with hotplug (a service installed by default).. and yes, swapping a drive to another machine can cause havoc
[04:36] <MikeDona> Does anyone know how to fix this shortly on my side or do I have to wait until the package maintainer notices the problem?
[04:36] <marianet> when i try to open section "Suplemento NO" it saids
[04:36] <babo> how are browsers at handling png transparency ?
[04:36] <marianet> "Totem no pudo reproducir fd://0"
[04:36] <babo> let me guess ... IE messes it up ?
[04:36] <sarghm> Hi there!
[04:37] <Pici> babo: Yes, IE doesnt do it properly
[04:37] <Jimmey> babo, yeah, I've noticed that :-S
[04:37] <marianet> somebody speak spanish?
[04:37] <sarghm> I'm having some trouble installing my ATi drivers
[04:37] <Jimmey> !es
[04:37] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[04:37] <Luis07> using the python console in gedit, how can I print the text in the main window?
[04:37] <yellowdart> sarghm, what is your card?
[04:37] <sarghm> Radeon XPress 1100
[04:37] <babo> Pici, Jimmey: k thanks
[04:37] <aa_> oh well, at least I found my problem. Bad blocks on the drive
[04:37] <asdfj> nilsl: try removing the card, restarting, shutting down, install the card, in the bios try to set the 'reset hardware information' (under PCI usually), then restart Ubuntu again
[04:38] <yellowdart> sarghm, i'm guessing you're trying the binary ati drivers (fglrx)?
[04:38] <sarghm> That's right, yeah
[04:38] <nilsl> bulmer: Yes, it doesn't list the card there neither.
[04:38] <MikeDona> anyone?
[04:38] <nilsl> yellowdart: Yes, ... Therefore it would have been nice with a "automatic detection" again. :)
[04:39] <nilsl> asdfj: Reset the BIOS?
[04:39] <asdfj> nilsl: not sure that will work but it's worth a try before going fishing for drivers,
[04:39] <nilsl> asdfj: Hm ... I don't have any manuals or anything for this motherboard ...
[04:39] <asdfj> nilsl: not the whole bios!, sometimes there is a switch under the PCI periferals that says 'reset hardware iformation'
[04:40] <michaelpo> i tried xubuntu 7.04beta on a p2 128mb ram machine... it booted halfway then stopped... what's wrong
[04:40] <nilsl> asdfj: Ah, I see.
[04:40] <Luis07> using the python console in gedit, how can I print the text located in the main window?
[04:40] <orgy`> does anyone know a programm that can limit upload bandwidth for certain applications?
[04:40] <asdfj> nilsl: if you can't find it, don't worry about, it is probably not the problem anyway...
[04:40] <yellowdart> sarghm, i would suggest removing those drivers and doing AIGLX instead (put your xorg.conf to Driver "ati") and follow the "install aiglx" here: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Dapper_with_AIGLX

[04:41] <AlexC_> morning,
[04:41] <Conq-Joe> hey, i have just downloaded the latest realease, and i dont know how to install it, is there any guide to installing it from scratch
[04:41] <yellowdart> sarghm, and you can install beryl too if you want.. but it's not necessary (though it's really nice)
[04:41] <dromer> hi, how can I (other than opening my pc-case) see what kind of motherboard and cpu-socket I have? I want to upgrade my system with something faster :)
[04:41] <soundray> Conq-Joe: what exactly have you downloaded?
[04:41] <boguh> why is there /etc/proftpd.conf and /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf ? and which one to use??
[04:41] <asdfj> nilsl: make sure that the irq/dma's under the PCI section are assigned automatically unless you specifically need to access some exotic ISA hardware
[04:41] <nilsl> But is there really no way of loading the hardware detection from the installer post installation?
[04:42] <AlexC_> Conq-Joe: put the live CD in, and it should boot up. Once there, double click the "Install" icon on the desktop
[04:42] <Conq-Joe> the ISO from Ubuntu's site,
[04:42] <nilsl> asdfj: Lol, no ISA here ... :))
[04:42] <soundray> Conq-Joe: which one? There are several.
[04:42] <sarghm> Hey AlexC
[04:42] <Lunar_Lamp> michaelpo, have tried booting in safe-graphics mode, reading the error logs etc?
[04:42] <AlexC_> sarghm: morning :P
[04:42] <Jimmey> If I install some software in the live CD session, will it also be permanently installed when I use that session to install Ubuntu?
[04:42] <yellowdart> nilsl, you can always boot from a livecd and save the output of lsmod and lspci
[04:42] <Conq-Joe> when i put the cd in , it come up in DOS,  ,have i done something wrong,
[04:42] <Pici> Jimmey: No.
[04:42] <michaelpo> cant read my error logs...
[04:43] <Noah0504> Is anyone having trouble with the kernel update?
[04:43] <Jimmey> Pici, alright
[04:43] <soundray> Conq-Joe: which one have you downloaded? There are several.
[04:43] <asdfj> nilsl: I don't know of a way to do it, as yellowdart pointed out, it should happen automatically _but_ swapping the hard disk is not something that was tested
[04:43] <AlexC_> yellowdart: I didn't think ati drivers had support for AIGLX yet?
[04:43] <soundray> michaelpo: please go to #ubuntu+1
[04:44] <yellowdart> AlexC_, i'm running aiglx with beryl on a mobility 9000 right now
[04:44] <Conq-Joe> i downloaded this version Ubuntu 6.10,, it came in a iso
[04:44] <soundray> Conq-Joe: what's the full name of the .iso file?
[04:44] <Pici> Conq-Joe: Did you download the Desktop CD, the Minimal, the Alternative, or the Server CD?
[04:44] <michaelpo> Lunar_Lamp: i cant read any logs... how... i have not tried the safe graphics mode.... i will try now... now i'm back in win2k...
[04:44] <AlexC_> yellowdart: oh right, when did ati add support for aiglx then?
[04:45] <Conq-Joe> oo, ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso
[04:45] <soundray> Conq-Joe: try booting it again and choose "Safe graphics" from the boot menu
[04:46] <Conq-Joe> so, i just put that file on a CD?
[04:46] <AlexC_> nope nope
[04:46] <soundray> Conq-Joe: no
[04:46] <yellowdart> AlexC_, dont know exactly.. i usually use nvidia.. sort of "fell into" this laptop recently.. i would imagine it was after edgy though
[04:46] <mnoir> On my gnome desktop I have an folder icon pointing to my home dir, complete with a cute little house in the lower rh corner.  The context menu has 'delete'  and 'move to trash' greyed out.  How do I remove it?
[04:46] <Conq-Joe> so what do i do?
[04:46] <GaiaX11> Conq-Joe: burn the image with k3b
[04:46] <Noah0504> I'm trying to install the k7 kernel but Ubuntu is telling me it relies on a certain kernel which can't be downloaded.
[04:46] <soundray> Conq-Joe: it's an image file. You have to create a CD from the image.
[04:46] <Noah0504> I look and it doesn't show up in the list.
[04:47] <sarghm> http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Dapper_with_AIGLX
[04:47] <hayden> lol GaiaX11
[04:47] <GaiaX11> Conq-Joe: Or nero if in an win box
[04:47] <soundray> Conq-Joe: look at this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[04:48] <crazy_penguin> Hello to all!
[04:48] <Conq-Joe> So, do i need anything on the pc to start?, its a completly clean hdd
[04:48] <Alam_Ubuntu> what package would have the man pages for memcmp and stricmp and other libc functions?
[04:48] <yellowdart> mnoir, sudo rm Samples (i think that's the name of the dir).. it's actually just a symlink to another dir.. so you'll just get it out of your home folder with that
[04:48] <Lunar_Lamp> Conq-Joe, there is a very simple windows program called "burn cdcc" which will burn your iso for you in a VERY simple manner.
[04:48] <soundray> Conq-Joe: no, just boot from the Desktop CD you've downloaded and burnt
[04:49] <Conq-Joe> ok, i will give it a go now
[04:49] <kenthomson>  ANd BTW, is NONE ready to share this little piece of info: what is the best theme that you are using and where can i get it :
[04:49] <GaiaX11> Conq-Joe: Set up your bios to boot from the cd
[04:49] <Lunar_Lamp> kenthomson, take a look around www.gnome-look.org
[04:49] <asdfj> Conq-Joe, first you need to burn your iso to a CD, then set the bios of your compute to boot from the CD first, then you'll be good to go
[04:50] <Conq-Joe> ok, so when it boots, it is dos based?
[04:50] <yellowdart> mnoir, wait.. i misread your post.. dont delete your home dir :)
[04:50] <soundray> Conq-Joe: no
[04:50] <Jimmey> My friend's laptop has a 1GB nVidia sli installed and when he boots the Ubuntu liveCD - Either normally, or in safe graphics mode, he gets a blank screen. The computer's booted into the liveCD - he can switch through the TTYs - But X won't work. Any suggestions?
[04:50] <hbaigu> mnoir, run gconf-editor, go to apps -> nautilus -> desktop and unset home_icon_visible
[04:51] <VSpike> I don't get this at all.  adept is telling me I have 6 upgradeable packages, and is recommending: "linux" - upgrade, "linux-doc" - upgrade, "linux-generic" - upgrade, "linux-headers-generic" - no change, "linux-image-generic" - no change, "linux-restricted-modules" - no change
[04:51] <mnoir> yellowdart: :)  I wasn't planning on it...
[04:51] <bradley_> hi. i am deciding on a new external sound card:  the edirol ua-25 and the fa-66. the fa-66 has better features but i have read in numerous places that the ua-25 will work right out of the box with alsa (in a basic mode). does the fa-66 as well or will it require more tweeking?
[04:51] <Lunar_Lamp> VSpike, there is a problem with the repository - we need to wait for a few hours.
[04:52] <mnoir> hbaigu: tnhk - i knew it was in there somewhere :)
[04:52] <vitalstatistix> does any one here have a sony vgn-fs790?
[04:52] <VSpike> Lunar_Lamp: ahhh.  I'm glad you told me that
[04:52] <rendo> I'm running a simple server and I have a few users that do various things, like run webpages and what not.  How do I link their webpage in their ACCOUNT so I don't have to leave it in /var/www? that way they can edit it and not bug me to update it
[04:52] <VSpike> So I'll ignore it
[04:52] <effie_jayx> Hey all .. I have a question a friend of mine is trying to update his edgy and there are 2 upgrads that just wont install due to dependency problems... the package linux-headers-2.6.17-11-generic can't be installed :S
[04:52] <Lunar_Lamp> VSpike, I don't think upgrading will break it, but it will just not really do much as the packages can't be installed.
[04:53] <Lunar_Lamp> effie_jayx, there is a problem with the repositories - he can ignore those for now.
[04:53] <soundray> effie_jayx: there is an inconsistency on the server at the moment. It will go away.
[04:53] <Lunar_Lamp> It should be resolved in a few hours/
[04:53] <hbaigu> rendo, make a symbolic link to a dir in the user home
[04:53] <rendo> To var/www?
[04:53] <VSpike> Lunar_Lamp: do you understand what the diff between "linux" and "linux-generic" is?  Is one a virtual package?
[04:53] <mnoir> rendo - you need to learn how to configure the userdir module
[04:53] <Conq-Joe> ok im burning the image now
[04:54] <vitalstatistix>  does any one here have a sony vgn-fs790?
[04:54] <Lunar_Lamp> linux-generic is a metapackage yes, I'm not sure that "linux" is a package at all.
[04:55] <mnoir> rendo: i googled apache UserDir and found a pile of references
[04:55] <Astaroth_> anyone knowing how i can remove alsa after compiling driver, tools and libs?
[04:55] <hayden> rendo, or you can enable public_html (if you are using apache), which lets users host their own web docs in their home directory
[04:55] <rendo> kk
[04:55] <rendo> How do I enable public_html!?
[04:55] <Astaroth_> i installed the unstable version, but i want to downgrade to the stable one
[04:55] <yaman> do any one know what is the ls command line that give the files permission as a numbers ?
[04:55] <rendo> I'll google it nm
[04:56] <vitalstatistix> can anyone here suspend 2 ram on a sony vaio
[04:56] <mnoir> rendo: that is what userdir is for
[04:56] <rich__> morning guys is there any way i can reconfigure my sound to get it back other than reinstalling?
[04:56] <soundray> Seveas, ping
[04:57] <Jimmey> rich__: what did you do to break it
[04:57] <effie_jayx> soundray, thanks Lunar_Lamp  thanks :D
[04:57] <C> Hi, does anyone know how to get wireless internet working on ubuntu (D-Link PCI card)?
[04:57] <kitche> Astaroth_: you still have the source?
[04:57] <rich__> try to install alsa because of my quake3 had no sound
[04:57] <Lunar_Lamp> effie_jayx, ?
[04:57] <soundray> gnomefreak: ping
[04:57] <||cw> so, I have this hardware that only has drivers for a 2.4 kernel.  I've enabled universe and installed a 2.4 kernel, edited grub so that it has root=/dev/hda2 instead of the UUID, and I get a cannot find root device error.  the mobo is an older sis chipset with a athlon 1800+, would the 2.4 kernel not have sis IDE support built in where the 2.6 does?
[04:57] <Jimmey> rich__: how did you go about that?
[04:57] <gnomefreak> soundray: ?
[04:57] <Astaroth_> kitche: mh no i deleted it, but i could reconfigure
[04:57] <soundray> gnomefreak: sorry to bother...
[04:57] <gnomefreak> its ok
[04:58] <kitche> Astaroth_: well you need the source to uninstall something from source
[04:58] <rich__> i downloaded the latest alsa drivers and tried to ./configure make && make install
[04:58] <soundray> gnomefreak: we get a lot of queries aboutlinux-image-<IP_ADDRESS> not being available
[04:58] <soundray> gnomefreak: although it's referenced by linux-image-generic
[04:58] <effie_jayx> :
[04:58] <Astaroth_> kitche: will it work when i just configure it as i did when installing?
[04:58] <effie_jayx> Lunar_Lamp,  for the advice :D
[04:58] <rich__> i dont understand why quake3 has no sound and it runs perfectly fine
[04:58] <soundray> gnomefreak: I was going to file a bug, but can you confirm that's the right thing to do?
[04:59] <kitche> Astaroth_: well you would have to reinstall it also]
[04:59] <gnomefreak> soundray: what makes them think its not .11?
[04:59] <Astaroth_> kitche: and how can i uninstall then?
[04:59] <Lunar_Lamp> !bot
[04:59] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[04:59] <rich__> alot of people has had that problem and the only way i seen was to download ioquake3 to fix it but then you can't play half the servers because ioquake3 doesn't have punkbuster suport
[04:59] <yaman> do any one know what is the ls command line that give the files permission as a numbers ?
[04:59] <soundray> gnomefreak: linux-image-generic: Depends: linux-image-2.6.17-11-generic  but it is not installable
[05:00] <kitche> Astaroth_: make uninstall usually works int he fodler of the source
[05:00] <gnomefreak> soundray: ah yeah file a bug on that
[05:00] <GaiaX11> rich__: It is not morning here :-)
[05:00] <rich__> :P
[05:00] <soundray> gnomefreak: against linux-source-2.6.17?
[05:00] <gnomefreak> soundray: that was something they were talking about earlier iirc
[05:00] <rich__> its 11am here in sunny florida :P
[05:00] <hayden> yaman, ls -la
[05:00] <gnomefreak> yes
[05:00] <soundray> gnomefreak: cheers
[05:00] <gnomefreak> :)
[05:00] <slyfox> This is insane. Can someone pelase help ! My Console is not working - ctrl+alt-F1 gives me a black ascreen only !
[05:01] <yaman> hayden: thanx
[05:01] <||cw> VFS: cannot open root device hda2 or 03:02
[05:01] <rich__> slyfox try doing ctrl alt f2-f8
[05:01] <Toma-> slyfox_: did you remove all your getty's from /etc/initd?
[05:01] <iratik_x21> How do you reset your root password when you've forgotten it ? (I thought there was a apage with several methods of doing this) - all i can find is an entry on ubuntuguide.org involving passwd
[05:01] <||cw> i don't follwo the 03:02 bit since it's hda and there are no other driver controlers
[05:01] <Pici> iratik_x21: Ubuntu does not by default use a root password
[05:01] <iratik_x21> sigh....
[05:01] <Jimmey> iratik_x21: , boot into "recovery mode"
[05:01] <slyfox_> Toma-: "getty" ?
[05:01] <iratik_x21> super user password - you know what i mean
[05:02] <rich__> im becoming an expert on reinstallation :)
[05:02] <Lunar_Lamp> !linux-generic is There are currently problems with the linux-generic metapackage in the ubuntu repositories. Whilst attempting to upgrade probably won't damage, it's not advised and the repositories should be updated in a few hours
[05:02] <Toma-> slyfox_: its the terminal app. remove them all, you wont get a terminal
[05:02] <iratik_x21> rich_  i might need your help then
[05:02] <slyfox_> Toma-: not everything is there
[05:02] <Toma-> thats 1-6?
[05:02] <yellowdart> iratik_x21, why do you need to reset the root password.. can't you just use sudo?
[05:02] <GaiaX11> hayden: lol hayden
[05:02] <slyfox_> Toma-: please look here, maybe you can help http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=2621303#post2621303
[05:02] <rich__> since i screwed my sound up i may be reinstalling :)
[05:02] <Pici> iratik_x21: It doesnt use a su password either, did you set one up yourself?  By default all root access is done via sudo
[05:02] <iratik_x21> sudo -s gets me to root
[05:03] <yellowdart> iratik_x21, or sudo -i if you need to log in as root for extended periods
[05:03] <rich__> sudo -s -H goes to root
[05:03] <iratik_x21> okay... none of those options apply to my situation - its too volatile .. i had to unplug the server from the T1
[05:03] <Mysta_> how do i adjust the date from the CLI??
[05:03] <||cw> sudo su - gets you a full root shell
[05:03] <soundray> iratik_x21: best is to lock your root account again with 'sudo passwd -l'. Reset it with 'sudo passwd' if you must ;)
[05:03] <iratik_x21> alright .. since it doesn't matter because the server isn't online -- i've got rootkit headaches
[05:04] <YoshiG3> Hey guys, I just got a software update that wants to update the kernel, but it is unchecked by default. Should I update the kernel, or will it break stuff?
[05:04] <kitche> ||cw: also that's bad should eb sudo -i
[05:04] <soundray> ||cw: please don't recommend that -- you can get a messed-up environment that way
[05:04] <||cw> kitche: what's the difference
[05:04] <rich__> welp i guess im off to reinstall :)
[05:04] <kitche> YoshiG3: think it's broken there is a lot of people having trouble with that
[05:04] <Lunar_Lamp> Mysta_, date allows you to print and set the system date/time.
[05:05] <YoshiG3> kitche: well it's not exactly trouble, I havn't updated yet- I'm just not sure if I should, because by default the headers and kernel is unchecked. Should I not update?
[05:05] <||cw> soundray: messed up how, i hate it when I'm told that something I've been using fine for years is "bad" with wavy arms
[05:05] <Lunar_Lamp> Mysta_, that is, the command line option "date". You will need to read the man pages to work it out though I;m afraid.
[05:05] <Mysta_> Lunar_Lamp, I looked over the man pages, but didnt see a way to set it
[05:05] <Mysta_> Lunar_Lamp, only view it, and modify the way it prints to screen
[05:05] <kris> ??????
[05:05] <kris> hello:)
[05:05] <Pici> !hi
[05:05] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:06] <kitche> YoshiG3: this si from earilier we get a lot of queries aboutlinux-image-<IP_ADDRESS> not being available
[05:06] <soundray> ||cw: 'sudo su', 'sudo su -', 'sudo bash', 'sudo sh' all give you mixtures of environment variables from your user and your root. sudo -i is sane. See also !worksforme
[05:06] <YoshiG3> kitche: alright, but if I update, if it works- it will break stuff, won't it?
[05:06] <iratik_x21> I need to reset my password - and i'm googling   "recovery mode dapper root" still nothing
[05:06] <kitche> YoshiG3: not that I know of but it's not avaible
[05:07] <soundray> iratik_x21: what was wrong with my advice?
[05:07] <DisgruntledUser> hello everyone could someone help me with my wireless network....like how do i figure out how my wireless is configured... ubuntu didnt go through any hardware configuration
[05:07] <YoshiG3> kitche: it's giving me an nvidia update too
[05:07] <||cw> k, so, magic to running 2.4 kernel in edgy?
[05:07] <vitalstatistix> anyone here with a sony laptop?
[05:07] <iratik_x21> soundray: i'm at the login screen
[05:07] <LiENUS> why wont apt-get let me update to the new kernel-image-386?
[05:07] <iratik_x21> i need to get to a prompt first - nothing i've heard here helps so far
[05:07] <rich__> fun fun im goin to have to reinstall my quake4, ipod shtuff...woohoo
[05:07] <Lunar_Lamp> Mysta_, To set the system clock under Linux, use the date command. As an example, to set the current time and date to July 31, 11:16pm, type ``date 07312316'' (note that the time is given in 24 hour notation). If you wanted to change the year as well, you could type ``date<PHONE_NUMBER>98''. To set the seconds as well, type ``date 07312316.30'' or ``date<PHONE_NUMBER>98.30''. To see what Linux thinks the current local time is, run date with
[05:07] <Lunar_Lamp> no arguments.
[05:08] <YoshiG3> rich__, hey, at least you don't have to restart every time you install something XD lol
[05:08] <rich__> whats up with sound in ubuntu :P im sad its a sad day
[05:08] <rich__> LOL
[05:08] <rich__> hehe
[05:08] <Mysta_> Lunar_Lamp, Thanks!
[05:08] <rendo> Thanks for your help Hayden, mnoir and hbaigu, public_html was already enabled!  Hehe.
[05:08] <jenda> Does anyone have any tips for a commandline latin dictionary lookup?
[05:08] <DisgruntledUser> does anyone know how to resolve my problem... is there any type of device viewer
[05:08] <iratik_x21> i was just attempting to uninstall this gd rootkit off our server - i guess the hacker had a tail going of my ssh commands and my ssh was closed - when i logged back in the passwords had all been changed - i had to go on site and unplug the server from the connection
[05:08] <soundray> iratik_x21: reboot in recovery mode, then run 'passwd username' to reset your user password
[05:08] <rich__> YoshiG3: no i just have to reinstall :)
[05:08] <||cw> soundray: thanks, that makes sense.  though I've been using su for years and the - is supposed to make a new clean env.  I would agree that just su can make with the confusion
[05:08] <wine-cursor> hi folks
[05:08] <YoshiG3> rich__, I'm actually surprised at the sound in ubuntu: The OSS drivers work great, on windows, I needed the Realtek drivers- I don't in ubuntu
[05:08] <Qew> YoshiG3: don't do the update right now, wait for a while. There's some dependency issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=356257
[05:08] <YoshiG3> rich__, why?
[05:08] <jenda> I'm looking for something like this http://lysy2.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/WORDS.EXE , just an offline, commandline version.
[05:08] <YoshiG3> Qew: alright :D
[05:09] <Qew> it should get resolved soon
[05:09] <rich__> my sound worked great till i tried to get quake3 working
[05:09] <rich__> no i have nuttin hehe
[05:09] <GaiaX11> iratik_x21: But you have to know the previous pass
[05:09] <DisgruntledUser> hello?
[05:09] <YoshiG3> Everyone else is so lucky- they don't have to deal with Charter as their ISP
[05:09] <enry183> it's possible make a selfmade mac mini?
[05:09] <LiENUS> GaiaX11,  not if he uses recovery console
[05:09] <enry183> with ubuntu?
[05:09] <LiENUS> as root you dont need a users pw to change it
[05:10] <Lunar_Lamp> enry183, it's possible to install ubuntu on mac-mini I think.
[05:10] <LiENUS> iratik_x21,  you're best off doing this without network plugged in...
[05:10] <Lunar_Lamp> !tell enry183 about ppc
[05:10] <IcemanV9> DisgruntledUser: sudo lshw
[05:10] <rich__> ugh i have too much music on my ipod still copying files LOL
[05:10] <LiENUS> actually for that matter since the hacker is still logged in
[05:10] <DisgruntledUser> could someone help me get my wireless working its a Realtek 8185, and it seems to be initalized but i cant connect to anything
[05:10] <LiENUS> run netstat
[05:10] <LiENUS> and save that
[05:10] <GaiaX11> LiENUS: but does he know his root pass?
[05:10] <wine-cursor> trying to run this with wine on edgy : ftp://ftp2.diondine.com/diondine/Diondine500.exe -- runs fine, except the mouse cursor is active but invisible. Did search winecfg and hq website for a couple of hours, no success, any idea please ?
[05:10] <LiENUS> GaiaX11, there is no root pass
[05:11] <LiENUS> recovery console will just log you in as root as far as i know
[05:11] <LiENUS> shouldnt ask for a pw
[05:11] <LiENUS> since ubuntu doesnt have a root pw
[05:11] <LiENUS> wine-cursor, check #winehq
[05:11] <wine-cursor> LiENUS: sure indeed :-) thanks
[05:11] <IcemanV9> !enter | LiENUS
[05:11] <ubotu> LiENUS: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:11] <LiENUS> IcemanV9,  i'm ADD, get used to it
[05:12] <rich__> ok off to reinstall ill see you in an about hour/half ;)
[05:12] <DisgruntledUser> IcemanV9: okay it says that its installed and has the driver rtl8180 but when i try to connect it doesnt connect
[05:12] <GaiaX11> LiENUS: Sorry I was thinking in a debian way
[05:12] <iratik_x21> argh... rebooting in recovery mode asked me 'root password for maintainence'
[05:12] <LiENUS> iratik_x21, ok bring up the command line for grub..
[05:12] <LiENUS> the ability to edit the command line for a boot...
[05:13] <LiENUS> and add "init=/bin/sh" to the end
[05:13] <IcemanV9> DisgruntledUser: i don't know much about rtl8180, but is it up and running?
[05:13] <LiENUS> ubuntu really shouldnt ask for a root pw... since there isnt supposed to be one set
[05:13] <kitche> LiENUS: he set one
[05:13] <iratik_x21> LieNUS: alright .. so    press c and init=/bin/sh
[05:14] <LiENUS> kitche, my guess is the hackers did
[05:14] <iratik_x21> i didn't enable a password for root. i always typed sudo -s
[05:14] <LiENUS> iratik_x21,  i think so... been a while since i did it
[05:14] <GaiaX11> IcemanV9: I have one here in my pc and it is running at full!
[05:14] <iratik_x21> LiENUS: am i screwed
[05:14] <DisgruntledUser> IcemanV9: if by up and running you mean i am able to see it on that command you age me then yes.. otherwise no its not connecting to my network... and on my router im not even seeing anything that remotely suggests its even trying
[05:14] <LiENUS> nah do the init=/bin/sh thing
[05:14] <iratik_x21> grub > init=/bin/sh
[05:15] <iratik_x21> Error 27 : Unrecognized Command
[05:15] <LiENUS> if worst comes to worst, boot with a livecd, mount the drive and edit /etc/shadow (will be something like /mnt/etc/shadow on the livecd) and put a * for roots pw
[05:15] <IcemanV9> GaiaX11: can u help DisgruntledUser with rtl8180 problem?
[05:15] <LiENUS> ok then its not c
[05:15] <LiENUS> i think its e
[05:15] <DisgruntledUser> IcemanV9: plus its trying to connect to subnet <IP_ADDRESS> and mines <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:15] <mrstocks> hi how do i install a remote printer in ubuntu.
[05:15] <mrstocks> Its a network printer
[05:15] <dromer> hi, can I see what kind of socket my cpu has without opening my pc-case?
[05:15] <GaiaX11> IcemanV9: Which?
[05:15] <twisties> !gnome-dock
[05:15] <ubotu> gnome-dock is a MacOS X -like dock for the gnome desktop, see www.gnome-dock.org
[05:15] <Jimmey> dromer, run cpu-z
[05:15] <iratik_x21> LiENUS: alright i see  4 options
[05:16] <iratik_x21> root, kernel, initrd, boot
[05:16] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: me
[05:16] <Zopf`afk> mrstocks: System > Administration > Printing > New Printer
[05:16] <IcemanV9> DisgruntledUser: ah. that's why it is not connecting to the Internet. hm.
[05:16] <dromer> !cpu-z
[05:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cpu-z - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:16] <jagga> can any one tell me how to get the screenresolution
[05:16] <LiENUS> one sec let me look up the grub docs so i can be certain...
[05:16] <mahatma> Hello. I have a problem with fonts. I've installed all fonts that I can find, but I can't seem to find the one that is required for the application I need to run. When I start it, it says: 2007-02-08 17:09 XLoadQueryFont: failed creating font set -*-times-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646,-*-times-medium-r-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-5,-*-*-*-r-*-*-10,*. I run xlsfonts -fn with those fonts, but it returns no results. I then run xlsfonts with
[05:16] <Pici> !paste
[05:16] <jagga> i have intel grap card
[05:16] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:16] <GaiaX11> IcemanV9: Which is the problem?
[05:16] <mrstocks> Zopf i have no Administration
[05:16] <asdfj> dromer, do a 'more /proc/cpuinfo'
[05:16] <mrstocks> Zopf in the system menu
[05:16] <asdfj> then lookup  your CPU on the web
[05:16] <DisgruntledUser> IcemanV9: agreed.... i thought it would automagically go to the subnet <IP_ADDRESS> since thats the default for most routers
[05:17] <dromer> asdfj: thnx, but I can't see the socket in there
[05:17] <IcemanV9> GaiaX11: DisgruntledUser is having a problem with rtl8180. cannot connect to the Internet
[05:17] <Zopf`afk> mrstocks, which version of ubuntu do you have?
[05:17] <IcemanV9> DisgruntledUser: yep
[05:17] <mrstocks> edgy
[05:17] <asdfj> dromer, you get CPU model from there and then based on the model go to Google and find the socket
[05:17] <Zopf`afk> mrstocks, which language?
[05:17] <mrstocks> Zopf English
[05:17] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: my wireless is installed and seems to be working but it cant connect due to it trying to automatically searching on subnet <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:18] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: Have you installed your card?
[05:18] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: its integrated
[05:18] <Zopf`afk> mrstocks, type "gnome-cups-manager" in your console
[05:18] <kenthomson> Some HELP, when i open a link from x-chat GNOME web-browser opens instead of firefox how do i set it so that firefox opens?
[05:18] <mrstocks> Zopf cups server could not be located
[05:18] <Zopf`afk> uff
[05:18] <Jimmey> Right click on the link, and tell it to use firefox, kenthomson
[05:19] <mrstocks> Zopf im under KDE thats why, its a hybrid box :)
[05:19] <BelialMkII> Kenman: its in the xchat preferences
[05:19] <Zopf`afk> mrstocks, you shure you have ubunutu, noch kubunut or something?
[05:19] <dromer> asdfj: how can I see what motherboard I have? I can google for possible cpu's that way (want to upgrade my amd 1700+ system)
[05:19] <YoshiG3> Anyone here play Counter Strike 1.6 with wine?
[05:19] <Zopf`afk> ah I see
[05:19] <mrstocks> Zopf i have kde, e17, gnome ... ect...
[05:19] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: Are you in an intranet?
[05:19] <dromer> YoshiG3: I've done it a couple times (using steam)
[05:19] <mrstocks> Zopf but if i start cups might work ebtter
[05:19] <Jimmey> dromer, best to open the case. You'll probably have a socket 462
[05:19] <Zopf`afk> mrstocks, then start a gnome session
[05:19] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: no im on my home router
[05:19] <dromer> YoshiG3: too bad it broke somehow a while back, worked pretty good though!
[05:20] <dromer> Jimmey: is that on the socket itself?
[05:20] <LiENUS> iratik_x21,  when you get to the grub menu hit e, and it should give you a long command line, put "init=/bin/sh" on the end of that command line
[05:20] <Astaroth_> cd #alsa
[05:20] <iratik_x21> LiENUS: You type e, select kernel and add rw init=/bin/bash to the boot line, enter then b
[05:20] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: Im connected through eth0 though
[05:20] <YoshiG3> dromer, I can't figure out how to run it in a window and not lose mouse control- how did you do it without the mouse going off of the screen? I even had it at 1024x768, the size of my desktop, and the mouse still ran off and got all crazy- any ideas?
[05:20] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: Are you running a single pc at home?
[05:20] <dromer> Jimmey: I was hoping I could find out without opening :P (don't want to turn it off ;) )
[05:20] <asdfj> dromer: for motherboard, you can press pause during bootup when the memory and cpu information shows up and there will be a motherboard model #
[05:20] <LiENUS> yes
[05:20] <LiENUS> thatl'l work iratik
[05:20] <dromer> YoshiG3: oh I ran it fullscreen
[05:20] <Jimmey> dromer, my socket 462 says "socket 462" on it, and I have an amd 1700+
[05:20] <iratik_x21> I'm now at root - alright .. first step -- reset root password to disable ?
[05:20] <LiENUS> good idea on the adding rw, will simplify things you wont have to remount
[05:20] <YoshiG3> dromer- how did you get keyboard focus? I can't get keyboard focus with fullscreen
[05:20] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: nope theres multiple machines on my router
[05:20] <Jimmey> dromer, my pc case is open as we speak - No worries
[05:20] <dromer> Jimmey: ok, I thought it would be "socket A"
[05:21] <Jimmey> dromer, yes
[05:21] <dromer> Jimmey: yeah mine too, but I can't peak inside :P
[05:21] <Jimmey> dromer, socket 462 is socket A
[05:21] <LiENUS> iratik_x21, yes i would edit /etc/shadow and find the line that starts with root:, it prolly has ab unch of numebrs and letters delet everything between the first two :'s
[05:21] <dromer> Jimmey: is that the same?
[05:21] <LiENUS> so it looks like...
[05:21] <Jimmey> Yes
[05:21] <LiENUS> root:*:13543:0:99999:7:::
[05:21] <Jimmey> dromer, yep :-)
[05:21] <dromer> Jimmey: ok .. I think I could go up to 2ghz then (searched before, but just wanted to make sure)
[05:21] <arke> Hi. :)
[05:21] <LiENUS> some of the numbers may vary on your system btu the general idea is you have a * instead of whatevers there now
[05:21] <arke> ubuntu and kubuntu are separate CDs, right?
[05:22] <LiENUS> arke, yes
[05:22] <damjanad> Anybody knows what is up with Software Update on Edgy, It's showing linux-generic meta package (and several related packages) for update, but no description of changes!
[05:22] <arke> Thought so.
[05:22] <LiENUS> you can turn ubuntu into kubuntu though
[05:22] <dromer> asdfj: yes, ubuntu has gnome as the default wm and kubuntu kde
[05:22] <arke> Nah I'd rather do kubuntu right away.
[05:22] <Jimmey> dromer, let me check
[05:22] <iratik_x21> Alright: i made the root entry look like the other entries without passwords
[05:22] <YoshiG3> damjanad: They're not available right now- don't update yet
[05:22] <dromer> I installed ubuntu and added kde later as my default wm
[05:22] <LiENUS> arke,  then get the kubuntu cd
[05:22] <ConstyXIV> yes, sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop
[05:22] <YoshiG3> dromer- how did you get keyboard focus? I can't get keyboard focus with fullscreen
[05:22] <damjanad> ok, thanks
[05:22] <iratik_x21> now   - to change the password for the user admin ?
[05:22] <dromer> YoshiG3: what do you mean?
[05:22] <digilink> I have a shell script that I want to have automatically started at boot time, how do I do this?
[05:22] <arke> oki thanks
[05:23] <dromer> YoshiG3: it just worked on first install with me, just ran steam and it was fine :)
[05:23] <kitche> damhanad: there is a bug witht he update for now
[05:23] <LiENUS> iratik_x21,  passwd <user> should work
[05:23] <arke> whats the install recommendation these days?
[05:23] <Pawlos> hi
[05:23] <YoshiG3> dromer: I can start it fullscreen just fine, it runs great- I just can't get keyboard focus: I can't move or press ESC or anything.
[05:23] <arke> Still Windows, then Linux, like it was a few years ago?
[05:23] <dromer> just after some updates of wine (/me thinks) it stopped working :(
[05:23] <Pawlos> i have a major issue with GCC
[05:23] <Jimmey> dromer, it's hard to get socket A processors these days
[05:23] <LiENUS> arke, pretty much
[05:23] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: Sorry in this case I don't have the net know-how. No experience with networking. Perhaps someone could help you better
[05:23] <arke> Easy enough.
[05:23] <dromer> Jimmey: I found a place, just ~45 dollar for a 2ghz cpu
[05:23] <Pawlos> guys did anyone have problems with GCC
[05:24] <dromer> 20-40 euro really*
[05:24] <dromer> 30*
[05:24] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: when i ifup wlan0 its searching for <IP_ADDRESS> and my subnet is <IP_ADDRESS> is there a way to change that when if ifup
[05:24] <Pawlos> when i apt-get it the /usr/include did not have any headers inside it so i couldnt compile anythingf
[05:24] <IcemanV9> DisgruntledUser: which version? dapper or edgy?
[05:24] <LjL> !build-essential > Pawlos    (Pawlos, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:24] <LjL> Pawlos: you need the build-essential package
[05:24] <Pawlos> LjL,
[05:24] <YoshiG3> LjL: HEY whatsup buddy :D
[05:24] <DisgruntledUser> IcemanV9 i think edgy but im not quite sure
[05:25] <ConstyXIV> does anyone know what to do if you've accidentally killed your usplash?
[05:25] <IcemanV9> DisgruntledUser: lsb-release -a
[05:25] <LjL> YoshiG3: playing old amiga games :)
[05:25] <LjL> lsb_release -a
[05:25] <iratik_x21> LiENUS: thanks, i think i can get this freaking thing fixed now
[05:25] <IcemanV9> DisgruntledUser: oops - lsb_release -a
[05:25] <iratik_x21> i appreciate the help pplz
[05:25] <Pawlos> LjL,  alloe me to query you for a second
[05:25] <YoshiG3> LjL: lol. Hey, you ever played CS 1.6 in wine? I'm having trouble getting keyboard focus on fullscreen. I get focus in a window, but I lose the mouse to the desktop- any ideas?
[05:25] <IcemanV9> LjL: ty :)
[05:26] <DisgruntledUser> IcemanV9: edgy 6.10
[05:26] <LjL> YoshiG3: nah, i'm not into recent games ;P (not much into old ones either to be honest, just the couple of games i played 10 years ago...)
[05:26] <Jimmey> YoshiG3, run "winecfg" in a terminal, then under "graphics" tab, click the box that stops the mouse from leaving the screen
[05:26] <IcemanV9> DisgruntledUser: your card should be working out of the box with edgy
[05:26] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: click in the panel and add networking monitor
[05:26] <ConstyXIV> LjL: would you know how to restore the usplash?
[05:26] <YoshiG3> Jimmey: But it's not a DX program- it's OGL
[05:26] <DisgruntledUser> i know it should but its scaning under the wrong subnet
[05:27] <Pawlos> LjL, can you assist me
[05:27] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: right click in the panel and add networking monitor applet
[05:27] <sadistico> hello
[05:28] <soundray> !usplash | ConstyXIV
[05:28] <ubotu> ConstyXIV: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[05:28] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11 okay its on my panelbar
[05:28] <LjL> ConstyXIV: not if i don't know how it was broken
[05:28] <sadistico> can someone please offer me advice on where or what html editor i can load in ubuntu?
[05:28] <LiENUS> grr
[05:28] <LiENUS> apparently i moved too far from the access point heh
[05:28] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: click in it and then configure
[05:28] <IcemanV9> sadistico: bluefish or nvu

[05:28] <ConstyXIV> LjL: i installed kubuntu, then instlalled ubuntu (gnome), then removed kubuntu-desktop, and i have no splash
[05:29] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: It will ask the pass
[05:29] <LiENUS> iratik_x21,  you get your password changed?
[05:29] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: there is not password
[05:29] <snoofie> Hi, pretty simple question:  just installed Edgy server edition, and it doesn't come with /sbin/{dump,restore}.  apt-get install dump doesn't find any packages, and using aptitude to search doesn't find any such packages.  I'm sure I'm missing something; where are is the dump/restore package hidden, and how can i install it?
[05:29] <LjL> ConstyXIV: well try the first thing ubotu said
[05:29] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: give the pass and change 255 ....
[05:30] <soundray> snoofie: what do you mean by "dump/restore"?
[05:30] <DisgruntledUser> okay i setup the subnet and ip now what
[05:30] <snoofie> the filesystem dump/restore commands
[05:30] <Jimmey> My friend's laptop has a 1GB nVidia sli installed and when he boots the Ubuntu liveCD - Either normally, or in safe graphics mode, he gets a blank screen. The computer's booted into the liveCD - he can switch through the TTYs - But X won't work. Any suggestions?
[05:30] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: save
[05:30] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: mmkay
[05:31] <kitche> !dump | snoofie
[05:31] <ubotu> snoofie: dump: 4.4bsd dump and restore for ext2 filesystems. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4b41-3 (edgy), package size 244 kB, installed size 664 kB
[05:31] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser:  Did not understand
[05:31] <ConstyXIV> LjL: any way to test it w/o a reboot?
[05:31] <soundray> snoofie: there is a dump package in universe... ^^
[05:31] <LjL> ConstyXIV: i doubt it
[05:31] <ConstyXIV> ok, here goes
[05:31] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: i saved it.... but its still not connecting
[05:31] <ConstyXIV> sudo shutdown -r now
[05:31] <ConstyXIV> oops
[05:32] <snoofie> Hmm.  So I assume I need to modify my apt configuration to search a different universe to find the package?
[05:32] <snoofie> Currently using the default install configuration.
[05:32] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: Did you use ndiswrapper to config you card?
[05:32] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: nope
[05:32] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: just what edgy gave me
[05:33] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: want me to try ndiswrapper

[05:34] <Stephan> hi
[05:34] <Nutubuntu> I'm using OO.o 2.02 on Dapper, but sometime back I installed 1.9.100. I can't get OO.O writer to spell-check; I think it's because it's not finding the dictionary. Where is it supposed to look for the dictionary?
[05:34] <nojoints> soundray; went to system - no preferences =S
[05:35] <DisgruntledUser> nope no ndiswrapper
[05:35] <soundray> nojoints: what distribution/version are you using?
[05:35] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: its apparently working off of the driver it gave me with edgy
[05:35] <LiENUS> why wont apt-get let me update my kernel-image-386?
[05:35] <nojoints> soundray; ubuntu with KDE
[05:35] <soundray> nojoints: kindly ask in #kubuntu then
[05:36] <kitche> LiENUS: it's broken probably since there is issues with the repos
[05:36] <Pici> LiENUS: Theres an issue with the repositories at the moment, I believe a bug report has been filed.
[05:36] <LiENUS> ah
[05:36] <LiENUS> ok
[05:36] <notgod> hello.  anyone here familiar with pptp that could help me for a few?
[05:36] <LiENUS> notgod,  what yo uneed?
[05:36] <soundray> !edgykernel | LiENUS
[05:36] <ubotu> LiENUS: There is currently a server-side inconsistency preventing kernel upgrades to version 2.6.17-11. A bug has been filed, please be patient.
[05:36] <Nutubuntu> Also, update manager notified me of some kernel updates this morning, said it couldn't install them and to use Synaptic; but Synaptic didn't flag any updates.
[05:36] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: Have a look in your ip number and etc using sudo network-admin
[05:37] <LiENUS> soundray, wow that was totally redudant and pointless
[05:37] <ConstyXIV> LjL: no dice
[05:37] <indigoblu> ive added beryl-xgl to my startup in gnome-session, but still no go?  Anybody got an idea why I have to start it after gnome loads?
[05:37] <notgod> LiENUS: I have the VPN basically working, but after a few minutes, my resolv.conf gets overwritten with the default values for the local network (i.e. the remote IPs are still pingable, but DNS is, basically, wrong)
[05:37] <LiENUS> you wasted .01kb in doing that

[05:37] <IcemanV9> same problem with dapper kernel as well. :/
[05:37] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: there is no ip because im not connected
[05:37] <LiENUS> notgod,  you using pptpconfig or manual?
[05:38] <ConstyXIV> josh_: i think xsetbg (background file)
[05:38] <LjL> ConstyXIV: make sure ubuntu-desktop is all installed, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[05:38] <josh_> there isn't a gui setup?
[05:38] <notgod> LiENUS: pptpconfig initially, then manually configuring because pptpconfig didn't seem to want to actually make any routing changes.
[05:38] <kitche> josh_: not with fluxbox
[05:38] <LiENUS> hmm
[05:38] <Zenith2007> Hi folks, could anyone help me solve my lack of audio issue please.  Ive checked and its not muted, ive followed the sticky on ubuntuforums and still no sound :\ im really stuck.
[05:38] <soundray> LiENUS: thanks for pointing out my irresponsible use of bandwidth. However, since you're not the only person who has read this, it might have saved bandwidth in the long run.
[05:38] <LiENUS> soundray, someone else already said it
[05:38] <notgod> LiENUS: was trying the NetManager pptp stuff, but that barely has any options, like a domain.  :)
[05:39] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: im installing ndiswrapper
[05:39] <DisgruntledUser> gunna give that a go
[05:39] <josh_> hmmm... so i need to load into kubuntu, download the images i want and then just do "xsetbgc = /path/to/picture"?
[05:39] <GaiaX11> Have you changed the 255 ... thing? And saved?
[05:39] <soundray> LiENUS: btw, you should rethink your attitude towards people who help you in this channel.
[05:39] <Red-Sox> I'm helping my friend switch to linux...is KDE or Gnome better for a noob?
[05:39] <kitche> josh_: no you can use fluxbox for that
[05:39] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: If so before using ndiswrapper reboot your machine
[05:40] <josh_> kde has a more "windowish" feel to it
[05:40] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: okay
[05:40] <josh_> where in flux is that at kitche
[05:40] <notgod> I'm, overall, pretty happy with the gnome interface.
[05:40] <ConstyXIV> LjL: all clear, aldready installed
[05:40] <kitche> josh_: use a terminal flux doesn't have an applet like gnome or kde
[05:40] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: Does your card activate in the boot time?
[05:40] <notgod> I kinda miss windowmaker, but I will get over it.  :)
[05:40] <cradek> Red-Sox: give him the one you use, since you'll be doing support
[05:40] <Zenith2007> Hi folks, could anyone help me solve my lack of audio issue please.  Ive checked and its not muted, ive followed the sticky on ubuntuforums and still no sound :\ im really stuck.  It has worked previously on this machine on this version of ubuntu, dapper, although had to reinstall and wont work now :(
[05:41] <ConstyXIV> notgod: why miss it?
[05:41] <soundray> Red-Sox: gnome is harder to break. KDE lets you change things "under the hood" more easily.
[05:41] <cradek> Red-Sox: neither is better
[05:41] <LjL> ConstyXIV: does "sudo grep splash /boot/grub/menu.lst" show anything?
[05:41] <Red-Sox> cradek: good idea
[05:41] <josh_> yeah but i dont know how to use the terminal to find a pic i want and download it
[05:41] <Red-Sox> cradek: ...?
[05:41] <notgod> ConstyXIV: the key bindings, mostly.  and it's fast as all hell.  and the dock.
[05:41] <Jimmey> My friend's laptop has a 1GB nVidia sli installed and when he boots the Ubuntu liveCD - Either normally, or in safe graphics mode, he gets a blank screen. The computer's booted into the liveCD - he can switch through the TTYs - But X won't work. Any suggestions?
[05:41] <IcemanV9> notgod: windowmaker is in the repo
[05:41] <Red-Sox> cradek: netiher?
[05:42] <Red-Sox> cradek: are you suggesting he stay with...with...*win2k*
[05:42] <cradek> Red-Sox: I mean which one is better is just a matter of opinion
[05:42] <IcemanV9> !wmaker | notgod
[05:42] <ubotu> notgod: wmaker: NeXTSTEP-like window manager for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.92.0-5.3 (edgy), package size 2220 kB, installed size 6096 kB
[05:42] <notgod> IcemanV9: honestly, I can tolerate Gnome, and I am so tired of configuring machines.  I am retired as an SA, so gnome works well enough for me.
[05:42] <ConstyXIV> LjL: yes, it shows splash as an option in the kernel line
[05:42] <soundray> Jimmey: I would suggest you use the alternate install CD, then follow the wiki instructions on NVidia once you can boot to a console.
[05:42] <Red-Sox> cradek: k
[05:42] <IcemanV9> notgod: i'm just letting you know there is a choice :)
[05:43] <cradek> Red-Sox: he'll probably have better luck with online support if he uses the default (gnome) since MANY more people are using it
[05:43] <Jimmey> soundray, that's what I thought - But it's the downloading of the iso I think he might object to :-P
[05:43] <||cw> what would cause mkinitrd to not be able to find lindl.so.2 when it is in /lib and ldd on it shows no issues, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib ?
[05:43] <iratik_x21> ls: unrecognized prefix: do
[05:43] <||cw> that's libdl.so.2
[05:43] <notgod> IcemanV9: thanks :)
[05:44] <iratik_x21> anyone have any solutions to get their system back after a t0rnkit attack
[05:44] <jcsteele> i am getting a strange error with apt-get and aptitude.....99% [9 Packages gzip 0]  [Waiting for headers]   gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Err http://archive.ubuntu.com edgy-updates/universe Packages   Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) .... anyone have any ideas as to how I can resolve this?
[05:44] <notgod> So...  does anyone know what might be re-setting my DNS servers after I am connected to pptp for a few minutes?  Might be the local wireless network?
[05:44] <hayden> are there any programs available that can receive digital tv via a tv tuner card and an aerial?
[05:44] <ConstyXIV> hayden: mythtv
[05:44] <||cw> ldconfig -v also lists libdl.so.2
[05:44] <LjL> hayden: via a *digital* TV tuner card, yeah
[05:44] <sadistico> how can i install bluefish? it says to type apt-get install bluefish in the terminal but i keep getting errors
[05:45] <soundray> hayden: vdr and mythtv
[05:45] <notgod> sadistico: what errors?
[05:45] <IcemanV9> jcsteele: just wait for a while, then try it again.
[05:45] <ConstyXIV> sadistico: what sort of error?
[05:45] <jcsteele> IcemanV9: ok, thanks!
[05:45] <sadistico> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[05:45] <sadistico> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[05:45] <ConstyXIV> sadistico: sudo apt-get ...
[05:45] <LjL> ConstyXIV: you don't happen to have kubuntu-artwork-usplash still installed?
[05:46] <sadistico> i tried that too
[05:46] <hayden> ConstyXIV, soundray - thanks
[05:46] <notgod> sadistico: use sudo
[05:46] <ConstyXIV> LjL; no
[05:46] <iratik_x21> Is there a way to repair a 6.06 cd using  a 6.06 install cd
[05:46] <josh_> sadistico: that means either you already have something using the package manager or you didn't "sudo" the command
[05:46] <iratik_x21> i pretty much need the kernel and all packages reinstalled
[05:46] <sadistico> i tried typing sudo in front
[05:46] <znejk> how do i apply a patch?
[05:46] <notgod> sadistico: instead of "apt-get <options>" run "sudo apt-get <options>"
[05:46] <Nutubuntu> sadistico - are you running Synaptic or aptitude at the same time, or not using *sudo* apt-get ?
[05:46] <Pawlos> UBUNTU I PHRAKIN LOVE YA
[05:46] <notgod> sadistico: I think bluefish is also in the add/remove programs list.
[05:46] <yellowdart> sadistico, do you have a package manager open?
[05:46] <ConstyXIV> !caps | Pawlos
[05:46] <sadistico> yeah
[05:46] <ubotu> Pawlos: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:47] <iratik_x21> Is there a way to repair a 6.06 cd using  a 6.06 install cd ?
[05:47] <Pawlos> !spank | ConstyXIV
[05:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about spank - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:47] <josh_> only one thing can access the package manager at once
[05:47] <LjL> ConstyXIV: dunno really, perhaps try sudo apt-get --reinstall install usplash-theme-ubuntu
[05:47] <Pawlos> mwahaha
[05:47] <LjL> !botabuse
[05:47] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[05:47] <sadistico> ohhh ok
[05:47] <josh_> you cant sudo apt-get something if a gui app is already usjing it
[05:47] <sadistico> ill try again
[05:47] <Nutubuntu> sadistico - when you have a package manager open, it locks the file
[05:47] <sadistico> sorry im a nub
[05:47] <yellowdart> sadistico, you have to close the package managers before running apt-get.. or just do it in the package managers and click "apply"
[05:47] <LjL> that's a different error though, but anyway
[05:47] <josh_> no, just new
[05:47] <sadistico> just got ubuntu
[05:47] <Nutubuntu> sadistico - a side note; I just complied the latest "unstable" bluefish and REALLY like it
[05:47] <LjL> surely sudo *is* needed, no way it'll work without
[05:47] <sasha> hi, all
[05:48] <sadistico> ok i got it thanks
[05:48] <sadistico> =)
[05:48] <Pawlos> ive been using ubuntu for 4 days ITS amazing , im a bsd fan acctually :\
[05:48] <sadistico> i know
[05:48] <iratik_x21> i pretty much need the kernel and all packages reinstalled, is there anyway to do this on ubuntu 6.06 server - using a 6.06 server install cd ?
[05:48] <sadistico> im liking it
[05:48] <notgod> Pawlos: me too.  haha
[05:48] <YoshiG3> LjL: I found a bug- Frostwire will not load the interface when using beryl.
[05:48] <sadistico> i was skeptical at first
[05:48] <Pawlos> notgod, BSD still rocks
[05:48] <GaiaX11> iratik_x21: Alternate has an option called recue mode
[05:48] <YoshiG3> LjL: Might be due to the skin, though
[05:48] <rendo> Having a slight problem.  Apparently using the public_html isn't working properly and I don't know why.  Instead of index.html loading for people, for me on my network the page loads fine, it loads up the folder view with phpmyadmin and my forums folder listed in there.
[05:48] <LinTux> anybody know when the next release of Ubuntu is going to be?
[05:48] <alecjw> hi. what good programs are there for transcoding music?
[05:48] <Pawlos> but this lappy really loves ubuntu
[05:48] <ryon> Im confused about the "generic" kernel. I just want something that is 686 and smp but the generic package does not seem to sort that out. Any Ideas?
[05:48] <sadistico> hard to ween myself off windows
[05:48] <ConstyXIV> Im curious, is there a reason we use "kubuntu, xubuntu, etc." instead of "Ubuntu KDE, Ubuntu Light, etc.?
[05:48] <iratik_x21> GaiaX11:  Alternate?
[05:48] <LjL> YoshiG3: surely not the only bug in beryl... ;)
[05:48] <ConstyXIV> alecjw: april
[05:48] <notgod> Pawlos: indeed.  but I am tired of configuring stuff, honestly.
[05:48] <GaiaX11> LinTux: April 16
[05:48] <sadistico> lol
[05:49] <ConstyXIV> alecjw: then october, then april, etc.
[05:49] <YoshiG3> LjL: Lol, still better than Aero :D
[05:49] <LjL> ConstyXIV: that's been considered and perhaps is still being considered
[05:49] <kitche> iratik_x21: it'll be hard sicne you might have other things trojaned also
[05:49] <sadistico> i dunno configuring is kinnda fun
[05:49] <XiCillin> lintux april 19 or something
[05:49] <LinTux> GaiaX11: cheers
[05:49] <Pawlos> notgod, does ubuntu have something like portaudit ?
[05:49] <||cw> ryon: generic does SMP for me
[05:49] <sadistico> gives me something to do beween classes
[05:49] <GaiaX11> iratik_x21: yes
[05:49] <sadistico> lol
[05:49] <notgod> Pawlos: not that I am aware of.
[05:49] <amonkey> if i want the newest version of amarok, can i use the feisty package on edgy? how can i look through the feisty repo to get the deb?
[05:49] <Pawlos> damn thats a feature im gonna miss
[05:49] <iratik_x21> kitche, GaiaX11: i've taken care of most of the restrictions already - the machine isn't online
[05:49] <Pawlos> :(
[05:49] <LjL> !generic | ryon
[05:49] <notgod> Pawlos: indeed.
[05:49] <ubotu> ryon: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[05:49] <Pawlos> my generic does SMP
[05:49] <LinTux> It has taken me 3 months, but I have finally totally gone from XP to Ubuntu
[05:49] <notgod> Pawlos: but I am no ubuntu expert, so ask someone who knows.  :)
[05:49] <XiCillin> amonkey, i haven't had luck with repo's that are different from my version
[05:49] <iratik_x21> And if i boot off the cd and do a rescue install onto the main filesystem - then i can still salvage the existing system
[05:49] <ConstyXIV> amonkey: i think kubuntu.org has up to date repos
[05:49] <Pawlos> Linux TribalAttack 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 22:28:26 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[05:50] <alecjw> ConstyXIV, are there any in the repositoiries?
[05:50] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: nothing
[05:50] <Pawlos> notgod, hehe its ok im used to manually check for security issues
[05:50] <ConstyXIV> amonkey: built for kubuntu
[05:50] <XiCillin> LinTux, thats cool
[05:50] <indigoparrot> hey, can anyone help me fix a samba problem?
[05:50] <Pawlos> it comes with the job/ccareer
[05:50] <davin> how do I change the system language in Dapper?
[05:50] <sadistico> what is the difference between the normal and unstable version of bluefish?
[05:50] <||cw> where can I ask about the 2.4 kernel in universe, mkinitrd won't run so I have no initrd image
[05:50] <indigoparrot> I can't seem to get my ubuntu box to play nice with my windows pcs
[05:50] <ConstyXIV> alecjw: any what?
[05:50] <XiCillin> LinTux, tryed vmware?
[05:50] <Pawlos> and i love this channel
[05:50] <LinTux> MKe not have to pay Microsoft anymore, brill
[05:51] <amonkey> ConstyXIV, will the built for kubuntu package work on gnome?
[05:51] <Nutubuntu> sadistico - the "unstable" has features not yet built into the "stable" release. I wanted block-folding, and that's only in unstable (so far). It works very nicely : )
[05:51] <ConstyXIV> indigoparrot: what are your issues
[05:51] <LinTux> no whats it like
[05:51] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: Do you have the rt8180.inf file?
[05:51] <ConstyXIV> amonkey: yes
[05:51] <alecjw> ConstyXIV, programs to transcode music
[05:51] <DisgruntledUser> yeah i have it and i used ndiswrapper
[05:51] <DisgruntledUser> ndiswrapper -i name
[05:51] <soundray> Pawlos: there is plenty of security auditing software in ubuntu
[05:51] <DisgruntledUser> ndiswrapper -m
[05:51] <notgod> ok, so anyone here know much about pptp/pppd/dns entries magically reverting themselves after a short while on the VPN (though I can still access all the VPN servers) ?
[05:51] <DisgruntledUser> modprobe ndiswrapper
[05:51] <Zaggynl> Does anyone know how I can improve boottime? I heard something about profile, but I have clue what it is
[05:51] <indigoparrot> ConstyXIV: i believe i have installed samba and winbind and all the associated gubbins properly, but I'm not too sure how to configure it.  I've tried various online tutorials but I can't access my windows files from my ubuntu box
[05:51] <ConstyXIV> alecjw: if youre doing it for a mp3 player, banshee does it automagically
[05:51] <sean_micken> hey what package has the C dev man pages?
[05:52] <Pawlos> soundray, hmmm can you point out some guides id like to see how this baby can hadel stuff
[05:52] <XiCillin> Pawlos, yea, you can pretty much get any security/auditing software for linux on ubuntu
[05:52] <Mohammed> Hello

[05:52] <davin> how can I change the language of ubuntu?
[05:52] <alecjw> ConstyXIV, i'm not - i'm looking for a transcoderl ike gtranscode, but for audio instead of video
[05:52] <Zambezi> Anyone know how to upload files with lftp?
[05:52] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: Do you have the rt8180.inf file?
[05:52] <soundray> Pawlos: try 'apt-cache search security audit'
[05:52] <XiCillin> like .deb audit or something? not that i know of but, now that you mention it. i would like something like that
[05:52] <Mohammed> I got a grub 'error 24' can somebody helps me to know what is that, as i can't boot my system
[05:52] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: yes and i used ndiswrapper on it
[05:53] <LjL> Zaggynl: just put the word "profile" into your kernel command line (just *temporarily* in GRUB, do *not* let it stay there!), the system will boot much slower than usual. reboot again (this time without "profile"), and if you're lucky it'll boot a bit faster
[05:53] <sean_micken> soundray: thanks.

[05:53] <ConstyXIV> alecjw: soundconverter
[05:53] <LjL> Zaggynl: to edit the command line in GRUB, hit "e" at the menu, then "e" again, then edit it, then "b" to boot
[05:53] <Pawlos> ive wrote similar ones to those soundray  hehe
[05:53] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: Which is the output?

[05:54] <kazukisan> XiCillin, Checked that already.

[05:58] <davin> soundray thanks
[05:59] <yellowdart> kazukisan, did you run a cd check? (assuming you're doing the install from the cd)
[05:59] <davin> notgod: this is free software, and we're helping for free;)
[05:59] <davin> brb
[05:59] <kazukisan> yellowdart, well the first time through everything went fine, it installed and when i tried to boot it started doing that, i tried running the live cd and it did the same thing
[05:59] <rendo> Why isn't public_html being called properly?  It's displaying the folder directories opposed to the webpage?
[06:00] <kazukisan> yellowdart, i just tried install debian and it froze at the installing software party

[06:02] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:03] <DisgruntledUser> GaiaX11: yeah it gives me about 30 blank lines then the console command line again....
[06:03] <notgod> davin: as much as I love and agree with the free software philosophy, I am willing to pay for help because I have been trying to get this to work for days, and I haven't gotten an answer in the hour I have been in here this morning.  :)
[06:03] <kitche> iratik_x21: only if there is a new version for the base system
[06:03] <iratik_x21> well i have dapper - so
[06:03] <davin> notgod: Tell me about your problem
[06:03] <iratik_x21> but i'm currently on a recovery login
[06:03] <aimee> hey, anyone know how to config saa7134 based tv card in ubuntu?
[06:03] <hejsa> I'm running ubuntu on my macbook and i got the touchpad working with two finger tapping for right click, but i would like it to work like in osx. one finger on touchpad and then a click on the button. Anyone who knows anything about this ?
[06:03] <rendo> kitche I have index.html
[06:04] <chris_> Hello all - I've just installed ubuntu and am having a problem - am I in the right place for help?
[06:04] <GaiaX11> DisgruntledUser: Have you tried the ubuntu forums?
[06:04] <kitche> rendo: try index.htm just to see if it will work
[06:04] <notgod> davin:  I have the VPN working, but DNS gets reverted to the pre-VPN-connected settings after a few minutes of being connected.  I am on a DHCP wireless connection (to tmobile) and using peerdns options.
[06:04] <XiCillin> chris_ yes
[06:04] <Nutubuntu> chris_ probably - what problem?
[06:04] <livingdaylight> seriously, can someone tell me? I'm sure it's simple...how do i remove kde desktop?
[06:04] <davin> notgod: whoo, I have no idea. maybe try static IP?
[06:04] <chris_> great - the network settings app just doesn't see my wired connection at all
[06:04] <yellowdart> DisgruntledUser, i saw you mention that you are using ndiswrapper.. does it recognize your card as wlan0 or eth1 (i know mine kept defaulting to eth1)
[06:04] <iratik_x21> looks like apt-get dist-upgrade  only reinstalls the kernel
[06:05] <livingdaylight> sudo apt-get remove kde-desktop doesn' t do it
[06:05] <iratik_x21> are ps, top etc.. parts of the kernel
[06:05] <davin> chris_: ifconfig
[06:05] <kitche> livingdaylight: sudo apt-get --purge remove kde
[06:05] <notgod> davin: I would love to force every wireless network I connect to to allow me a static IP, but that's impractical.  :)
[06:05] <livingdaylight> kitche, thx again
[06:05] <PSPro> hehe wat een publiek voor ubuntu
[06:05] <chris_> davin_excuse me? ifconfig? I apologize - I'm new at this...
[06:05] <davin> notgod: Sorry, Ive never used VPN, so I cant help you
[06:05] <davin> chris_: ifconfig is like ipconfig in windows
[06:06] <GaiaX11> iratik_x21: What happened with you? Have you lost your data
[06:06] <chris_> I mean *really* new
[06:06] <chris_> :)
[06:06] <iratik_x21> GaiaX11: rootkit attack
[06:06] <chris_> where can I find ifconfig
[06:06] <chris_> ?
[06:06] <notgod> davin: and this is why I am willing to pay for some help.  It's a pretty esoteric problem.  :)
[06:06] <davin> chris_: Applications > Accesories > Terminal
[06:06] <iratik_x21> GaiaX11: i need to reinstall all the affected 'backdoored' binaries
[06:06] <XiCillin> chris_ open a terminal adn type it
[06:06] <davin> chris_: then type ifconfig and paste it on pastecode.com and link me
[06:06] <chris_> oh, ok
[06:06] <Nutubuntu> chris_ open a terminal window and type "ifconfig" at the prompt
[06:06] <iratik_x21> top, ls, ps, pstree etc.. are all affected
[06:06] <livingdaylight> kitche, couldn't find package kde-desktop?
[06:06] <davin> notgod: alright, but you shouldnt ;)
[06:07] <GaiaX11> iratik_x21: reinstall the system then
[06:07] <iratik_x21> GaiaX11: is there something stronger that apt-get dist-upgrade .. or is that enough to install the binaries?
[06:07] <notgod> davin: If I had an option, I would take it.  ;)
[06:07] <chris_> davin_sorry, what is pastecode.com?
[06:07] <iratik_x21> s/ install the binaries/reinstall the binaries
[06:07] <thegve> PSPro: Bij ubuntu-nl zijn ze beter in Nederland (At ubuntu-nl they are better in dutch)
[06:07] <chris_> incidentally, I'm logged in thru another OS, since internet doesn't work on ubuntu...
[06:07] <davin> chris_: a site where you can paste text and then give people the link to it, like uploading text
[06:07] <AmaroqWolf> how do I replace an accidental deletion of /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libfile.so ?
[06:07] <davin> chris_: you have to use it as you cant paste here on IRC
[06:07] <notgod> davin: and I will try my best to document it once I do get it solved.
[06:07] <kitche> livingdaylight: there is no kde-desktop package
[06:08] <iratik_x21> i'
[06:08] <iratik_x21> ll just try it
[06:08] <livingdaylight> kitche, that's what the terminal says
[06:08] <iratik_x21> if it works it works.. if it doesn't i'm screwed
[06:08] <GaiaX11> iratik_x21: Do you have the alternate cd?
[06:08] <chris_> davin_ok,, so how do I link to you onpastecode.com?
[06:08] <iratik_x21> GaiaX11: i have an install cd i'm booted and running off of
[06:08] <yellowdart> livingdaylight, try kubuntu-desktop
[06:08] <chris_> on pastecode
[06:08] <GaiaX11> iratik_x21: Do you have the alternate cd?
[06:08] <davin> just give me the URL at the top after youve hit the button
[06:08] <Nutubuntu> chris_ -  copy the pastecode URL and tell us it here  : )
[06:08] <livingdaylight> kitche, but i know i installed kde-desktop some time ago and i now have all these kde apps cluttering my gnome applications menu
[06:08] <iratik_x21> i asked you what the alternate cd was earlier
[06:08] <livingdaylight> kitche, ok
[06:08] <iratik_x21> you never responded
[06:08] <chris_> davin_ok
[06:09] <GaiaX11> iratik_x21: Sorry
[06:09] <chris_> davin_to do that i'll have to reboot into ubuntu, then reboot again to connect to internet - so may take some time
[06:09] <davin> chris_ np, pm me cos im going away for a few minutes
[06:09] <graabein> has anyone used envy scripts to install nvidia drivers??
[06:09] <kitche> livingdaylight: at least from packages.ubuntu.com says there is no such package
[06:10] <davin> graabein: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[06:10] <chris_> davin_thanx be right back
[06:10] <jesselang> Is the Edgy repo fixed yet?
[06:10] <N1kki> Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good tutorials on how to use ubuntu as a simple router, I basically have 3 PC's connected to each other and need machine 1 to talk to machine 3 via machine 2 (machine 2 is ubuntu)
[06:10] <graabein> davin: cause it broke my x server
[06:10] <yrlnry> I just did "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and got the message "The following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-386 linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386".  What does that mean?
[06:11] <aimee> anyone know where's the module array in ubuntu linux please show me
[06:12] <idefix> !register
[06:12] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[06:12] <IcemanV9> yrlnry: it's a known problem for edgy & dapper
[06:12] <yrlnry> What does it mean?
[06:12] <eriklo> yrlnry: poor package management
[06:12] <aimee> it's like modprobe.conf
[06:12] <aimee> on other linux
[06:12] <graabein> davin: please take a look at the forums i have a thread there, just search for my username
[06:12] <IcemanV9> yrlnry: hopefully they fixed it soon
[06:13] <creepycrawly> back
[06:13] <midazolam> hello im on ubuntu, and am running the installer , now id like to set up software raid , how can i do that? i dont see any possibility in the installer
[06:13] <creepycrawly> hi again LjL
[06:13] <ConstyXIV> midazolam: alt or desktop
[06:13] <yrlnry> Okay but what does it mean?
[06:14] <midazolam> im running the dvd - desktop
[06:14] <midazolam> 64bit if that matters
[06:14] <ConstyXIV> midazolam: i think you want LVM
[06:14] <midazolam> a okay, where do i get it?
[06:14] <kitche> aimee: /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
[06:15] <ConstyXIV> midazolam: you will need the alt disc, unless LjL or someone else can tell me otherwise
[06:15] <aimee> thank kitche, you're so kind
[06:15] <N1kki> would I HAVE to mess with iptables
[06:15] <midazolam> well isnt everything i need on the 3.5 gb dvd?
[06:15] <creepycrawly> midazolam, no everything you need is on the 700mb cd
[06:15] <creepycrawly> :}
[06:15] <ConstyXIV> midazolam: the difference is that the desktop installer doesn't have advanced options like LVM or RAID
[06:16] <ConstyXIV> midazolam: you need the alt disc for that
[06:16] <Filip_BE> does somebody can run Beryl on XFCE ???
[06:16] <midazolam> well ill download this then. okay thanks
[06:16] <midazolam> in alternate cd is there also a desktop installer?
[06:16] <Zambezi> Can anyone help me with lftp? I'm trying to upload a folder, but put name didn't work and put * didn't work either.
[06:16] <TexJoachim> I believe I'm not the only one with held back packages, right?=
[06:16] <Nutubuntu> TexJoachim -  right.
[06:16] <IcemanV9> aimee: whereis command will help you next time :) (e.g. whereis modprobe.conf)
[06:17] <aimee> thanks
[06:17] <ConstyXIV> midazolam: no, desktop disc is a live cd with a gui installer.  alt disc is a text-based installer-only disc.  they both install the desktop
[06:17] <sol> gh gh
[06:17] <sol> klhj kcgjk
[06:17] <TexJoachim> Nutubuntu: and when will this be corrected?
[06:18] <midazolam> k, ill look into that, thanks! see you
[06:18] <Qew> Zambezi: use mirror -R [folder name]
[06:18] <Nutubuntu> TexJoachim - I don't think anyone's sure. Seems to be a server-side package management issue. My guess? (Totally uninformed guess): sometime today
[06:18] <yrlnry> So regarding "The following packages have been kept back: ..", what action do I take?   Ignore it?
[06:18] <ConstyXIV> yrlnry: dist-upgrade
[06:18] <MarcoPau> I got problems with RAM, it's often full, even with not many apps opened. What should I check?
[06:19] <chris_> davin_ok i'm back - went to pastecode.com - just paste output of ifconfig, and use what name?
[06:19] <N1kki> full RAM is normal afaik
[06:19] <yrlnry> ConstyXIV: dist-upgrade is exactly how I got the message in the first place.
[06:19] <ConstyXIV> MarcoPau: how much ram, and kde or gnome?
[06:19] <yrlnry> constyXIV: I just did "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and got the message "The following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-386 linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386".  What does that mean?
[06:19] <AmaroqWolf> yesterday, I was trying to delete a few files that someone told me to delete. The example command they gave me was "for i in 'locate file.so'; sudo do rm $i; done". I didn't realise that they had done file.so, so I copies and ran that command. Now it seems that the files on my system containing the string "file.so" are gone. Yesterday we reinstalled libaudiofile.so.0, but now I need another one called /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modul
[06:19] <crazy_penguin> are thos linux kernel image updates ok?
[06:19] <TexJoachim> I personally ignore it right now
[06:19] <crazy_penguin> yrlnry: same here
[06:19] <eriklo> MarcoPau: Perhaps your ram isn't used up -- maybe just allocated?
[06:19] <creepycrawly> damn
[06:20] <IcemanV9> !edgykernel
[06:20] <ubotu> There is currently a server-side inconsistency preventing kernel upgrades to version 2.6.17-11. A bug has been filed, please be patient.
[06:20] <creepycrawly> now its so comfortable this box
[06:20] <crazy_penguin> i see
[06:20] <crazy_penguin> so they are broken for the moment.
[06:20] <crazy_penguin> thx
[06:20] <ConstyXIV> so, we shouldnt update yet?
[06:20] <crazy_penguin> no
[06:20] <Qew> Zambezi: http://lftp.yar.ru/lftp-man.html
[06:20] <crazy_penguin> don't
[06:20] <crazy_penguin> you will end up with broken system
[06:20] <IcemanV9> ConstyXIV: correct
[06:20] <idefix> is there a "shift-delete" in linux?
[06:20] <gary> Is there any linux distributions that run of disk *AND* enable you to save some information.  I.e. installed modules, or a mounted file system
[06:20] <Zambezi> Qew, You're lovely! Thanks alot.
[06:20] <crazy_penguin> err with/with a
[06:21] <ConstyXIV> MarcoPau: im using 311 of 512 in gnome
[06:21] <TexJoachim> crazy_penguin: and what when one started part of the update?
[06:21] <ConstyXIV> idefix: yes
[06:21] <crazy_penguin> ctrl+c
[06:21] <idefix> how?
[06:21] <Qew> Zambezi: np
[06:21] <crazy_penguin> if your only at download
[06:21] <ConstyXIV> idefix: guess
[06:21] <chris_> hello all --- my new ubuntu installation isn't getting internet connection - i copied output of ifconfig - can anyone help?
[06:21] <DisgruntledUser> *sigh i really dont want to go back to SuSE
[06:21] <GaiaX11> iratik_x21: http://osmirrors.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/ubuntu-releases/edgy/
[06:21] <idefix> shift-backspace doesn't work
[06:21] <crazy_penguin> chris_: yes
[06:21] <DisgruntledUser> theres got to be some way to get this to work
[06:21] <ConstyXIV> idefix: shift-delete
[06:21] <eriklo> MarcoPau: Try reading some over at kerneltrap.org
[06:21] <idefix> doesn't work on my linux
[06:22] <ConstyXIV> idefix: one moment.  gnome?
[06:22] <chris_> crazypenguin_great - how should i get the output of ifconfig to you?
[06:22] <crazy_penguin> chris_: where can i see it?
[06:22] <eletido> how do i find out what version of the kernal i am using?
[06:22] <crazy_penguin> chris_: put it on the pastebin
[06:22] <idefix> nautilus
[06:22] <Nutubuntu> chris_ -  what is the URL of the output of ifconfig? where did you pastebin it? (if you did; if not see the topic of the chan for the pastebin URL)
[06:22] <crazy_penguin> eletido: uname -a
[06:22] <chris_> penguin_sorry - i don't know pastebin - can you explain?
[06:22] <eletido> crazy_penguin: thanks.
[06:22] <TexJoachim> eletido: uname -a
[06:22] <nicolah> in thunar, if you click on a file/folder then select properties. In the permissions tab there's an option called "other files" which others file is it referred to ?

[06:23] <IcemanV9> DisgruntledUser: try to search ubuntuforums.org for rtl8180; there are plenty of posts on it.
[06:23] <crazy_penguin> !tell chris_ about pastebin
[06:23] <chris_> ok - i'll do that real quick
[06:23] <ConstyXIV> idefix: also, is this edgy? just so im sure

[06:24] <eletido> hmm, why is auto-update keeping back linux-image-386 and linux-restricted-modules-386
[06:24] <chris_> ok - pasted! - the url that shows up at top is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4733/
[06:24] <idefix> thx
[06:24] <ConstyXIV> idefix: works now?
[06:24] <crazy_penguin> eletido: don't update those for the moment they are broken
[06:24] <ConstyXIV> eletido: they're broken
[06:24] <Reliant> I just did "apt-get install proftpd", and I get connection refused when trying to open an ftp connection
[06:25] <kitche> aimee: forgot you can use /etc/modprobe.d/aliases for modprobe.conf instead
[06:25] <idefix> ConstyXIV yes it does
[06:25] <crazy_penguin> chris_: one sec
[06:25] <chris_> penguin_thanks
[06:25] <eletido> crazy_penguin: ConstyXIV: ah, gotcha. thanks for the warning.
[06:25] <core123> How to activate my microphone ?
[06:25] <lexko> How do I go about upgrading my kernel to support SMP? when I search for 686-smp it says that it is obsolete and I should use image-generic, but that's what I currently have installed
[06:26] <crazy_penguin> chris_: you don't have any interface address defined
[06:26] <aimee> kitche, please make it clear, I'm sorry, but I'm linux newbie
[06:26] <ConstyXIV> core123: r-click speaker in the tray, open volume...
[06:26] <crazy_penguin> chris_: do you use dhcp?
[06:26] <knubbe> Hello, I have attached my cellphone to my USB-port. How do i check which /dev/.. it is?
[06:26] <chris_> crazy_penguin_: i'm sorry - i'm not i know what that means (I'm a true newbie).
[06:26] <_Freedom0_> hello
[06:26] <crazy_penguin> chris_: err is your isp using dhcp?
[06:26] <Nutubuntu> chris_ -  looks like you don't have an address configured
[06:26] <rbil> core123: in term, run ... alsamixer and try from there
[06:26] <ConstyXIV> core123: then turn up your mic
[06:26] <aimee> kitche, I have a saa7134 based tv card
[06:26] <aimee> then how do I config
[06:26] <chris_> ok - is there a standard way to go about configuring address?
[06:27] <notgod> ok, so I am pretty sure I know what the problem is -- dhcpd is overwriting my resolv.conf
[06:27] <crazy_penguin> chris_: do you have an internet address or the system should set it up automatically?
[06:27] <ConstyXIV> chris_: over dhcp or by hand?
[06:27] <MarcoPau> ConstyXIV: kde.. 512 MB
[06:27] <chris_> set up automatically
[06:27] <aimee> in fedora linux I often put this line in file /etc/modprobe.conf : alias char-major-81 saa7134
[06:27] <aimee> options saa7134 card=3
[06:27] <kitche> aimee: /etc/modprobe.d/aliases is the same as /etc/modprobe.conf pretty much
[06:27] <crazy_penguin> then you have probably dhcp
[06:27] <roo_> knubbe, is there anything in dmesg?
[06:27] <ConstyXIV> MarcoPau: kde occupies your ram usually
[06:27] <chris_> previouysly used dhcp
[06:27] <ConstyXIV> chris_: dhclient3 (interface)
[06:27] <crazy_penguin> chris_: go into a virual console
[06:27] <MarcoPau> eriklo: what do you mean? free says what's used and what's not
[06:28] <crazy_penguin> chris_: what are you using gnome or kde?
[06:28] <chris_> gnome
[06:28] <crazy_penguin> chris_: then go and set up a terminal
[06:28] <ConstyXIV> MarcoPau: kde likes to "cushion" your ram, and then de-occupies it for apps
[06:28] <crazy_penguin> is in the Applications menu
[06:28] <knubbe> roo_: yes, i find the device with dmesg, but it doesnt tell me which port it is.
[06:28] <crazy_penguin> i wiil guide you from there chris_
[06:28] <Linkmasta23> hi there
[06:28] <_Freedom0_> i want to download ubuntu 6.06 via bitorrent could someone give me the url please?for in intel pentieum
[06:28] <chris_> carazy_penguin_: since i can't connect w/ ubuntu, i'm currently using anouther os
[06:29] <crazy_penguin> chris_: i see
[06:29] <crazy_penguin> chirs_: one sec
[06:29] <chris_> crazy_penguin_: thanks
[06:29] <crazy_penguin> err chris_: one sec
[06:29] <crazy_penguin> chris_: may i pm you. this scrolling text makes me dizzy
[06:30] <M3G4crux> hi to all
[06:30] <kitche> _Freedom0_: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download
[06:30] <IcemanV9> _Freedom0_: it's on download page
[06:30] <chris_> crazy_penguin_: sure - but sorry, not very familiar with anything - pm?
[06:30] <Nutubuntu> chris_ - you'll need to edit this file: /etc/network/interfaces
[06:30] <crazy_penguin> chris_: pm = private message or query (private channel)
[06:31] <_Freedom0_> icemanV9 i didnt find bitorrent downloads for 6.06 !
[06:31] <chris_> crazy_penguin_: oh ok - sure thing - anything i should do?
[06:31] <steven_Office> can someone poit me to a link on how to get your e-mail after the basic mail server is up and running?
[06:32] <shmeelAway> hi, does anyone know where i can find the files that are taking up a lot of space? i supposedly have used up 17 GB of space, but i have no clue how
[06:32] <crazy_penguin> chris_: what irc client do you use?
[06:32] <chris_> crazy_penguin_: it won't let me send private messages! b/c i'm not registered...
[06:33] <crazy_penguin> yes
[06:33] <crazy_penguin> chirs_: then type in the following command
[06:33] <Nutubuntu> chris_ - it's pretty simple fix: you'll need to edit this file: /etc/network/interfaces
[06:33] <DShepherd> there's seems to be a downgrade available for linux-headers-386. Should i get it?
[06:33] <IcemanV9> _Freedom0_: http://osmirrors.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/ubuntu-releases/dapper/ shows the list of bittorrent .. go to http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download#lts
[06:33] <crazy_penguin> Nutubuntu: but his doesn't know how
[06:33] <crazy_penguin> err his/he
[06:34] <Nutubuntu> chris_ -  so at terminal type: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[06:34] <chris_> Nutubuntu_: thanks - but yeah, I'm pretty new to all this - need some "hand-holding" ;p
[06:34] <crazy_penguin> chirs_: tyepe in /msg nickserv register password where password is a password you want to give
[06:34] <_Freedom0_> iceManV9 i think this is the right url ftp://ubuntu.univ-nantes.fr/ubuntu-cd/6.06/ubuntu-6.06.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent ?
[06:34] <xerophyte_>  does anybody know any good program to organize the ebook i have lot i want a program to organize and search for it?

[06:40] <irishboxer> anyone know anything about dvd playback in totem?
[06:40] <ConstyXIV> would it be a bad thing to have /dev/kqemu set as 777 so i can run it as non-root?
[06:40] <ConstyXIV> !dvd  | irishboxer
[06:40] <ubotu> irishboxer: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[06:41] <floating> shmeelAway: type du -ch in your home dir and investigate
[06:41] <floating> it lists sizes of dirs
[06:41] <steven_Office> shmeelAway, I had that problem once and I found that it was a format problem witch was fixed by a re-install
[06:41] <shmeelAway> alright, will try
[06:41] <shmeelAway> so type sudo du -ch
[06:41] <shmeelAway> ?
[06:41] <floating> no need sudo
[06:42] <Nutubuntu> shmeelAway -  just du -ch

[06:44] <crazy_penguin> chris_: chris_: perhaps it would be better to explain to you what to do
[06:44] <Nutubuntu> chris_ - in /etc/network/interfaces make sure that there is a line reading: iface eth0 inet dhcp
[06:44] <Linkmasta23> YAY i just burned my installation disk
[06:44] <nevin_> hello
[06:44] <chris_> Thanks Nutubuntu
[06:44] <crazy_penguin> chris_: no problem. come into ubuntu-ro channel
[06:44] <shmeelAway> idk, it just says that there's 634M total, yet 17 GB used
[06:44] <chris_> I will check
[06:44] <Nutubuntu> chris_ - that's a zero, by the way, at the end of "eth0"
[06:44] <crazy_penguin> chris_: and i will explain to you what to do
[06:44] <chris_> crazy_penguin_: ok
[06:44] <shmeelAway> really don't want to uninstall and do it again since i just did it yesterday -.-
[06:45] <steven_Office> shmeelAway, bad install you not using the hole drive
[06:45] <iratik_x21> I need to pay for some ubuntu consulting services / security auditing - where do I go for paid consulting services ?
[06:45] <floating> the df -h says that 17gb ?
[06:45] <shmeelAway> no, GParted says that
[06:46] <shmeelAway> is there any way to back up everything i have in ubuntu, reinstall and get my current settings right away?
[06:46] <MajorPayne> when I do a apt-get upgrade it tells me this: The following packages have been kept back:  linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic
[06:46] <XiCillin> i'm interesting in auditing my firewall, i wanted to test my filters by using ICMP TTL method. nmap can't set TTL's (it should) and hping2 can only scan one port at a time.
[06:46] <nevin_> can anyone help me with wine and CS:S
[06:46] <XiCillin> anybody know of a port scanner that allows to set a TTL like that?
[06:46] <floating> reinstall qparted first maybe ;o
[06:46] <eriklo> iratik_x21: www.securityfocus.com is a page for security. Maybe you can get information somewhere there?

[06:47] <shmeelAway> reinstall GParted u think will work?
[06:47] <Benni> thanks ubotu, I was about to ask that question :-)
[06:47] <iratik_x21> thanks
[06:47] <IcemanV9> shmeelAway: use rsync command to back up data
[06:47] <floating> I don't. It strange problem, maybe ubuntu forum help
[06:47] <MajorPayne> IcemanCZ: lol, ok, thanks.  Should I just not even worry about this right now?
[06:47] <floating> try "df -h" command since it doesn't hurt to try
[06:47] <IcemanV9> MajorPayne: correct :)
[06:48] <MajorPayne> Ok, thanks.

[06:49] <shmeelAway> iceman, where will it back up the data too?
[06:49] <shmeelAway> do i need an external harddrive?
[06:49] <jrsup1> does anyone know how to set up a link on the desktop that will run as root/su/sudo?
[06:49] <roler> ya, wireshark is it. thanks guys :)
[06:49] <Exabyte> hello, i'm new to ubuntu and i've been having trouble installing it on my laptop.. is anyone familiar with using a program like LVM2 to install linux onto a fake RAID configuration (i have windows on the computer which I need to keep so i want to make a partition, but linux can't recognize it)
[06:49] <AmaroqWolf> I had to reinstall libgnomevfs2-0
[06:50] <IcemanV9> shmeelAway: yes, it can be external harddrive or 2nd hd
[06:50] <dede_> jrsup1: use gksudo
[06:50] <jrsup1> !gksudo
[06:50] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>
[06:50] <floating> I wonder there are some tricks other than reinstall, but maybe someone who is familiar is not here right now. check ubuntu forums or google or ask later again shmeel
[06:50] <steven_Office> shmeelAway, CD other dive what ever you want!
[06:50] <shmeelAway> my external harddrive says access files only
[06:50] <shmeelAway> -.-
[06:50] <jrsup1> can that be put into the desktop link shortcut?
[06:51] <dede_> jrsup1 gksudo instead of sudo
[06:51] <steven_Office> shmeelAway, is it a fat32, ntfs or what?
[06:51] <shmeelAway> external is ntfs unfortunately
[06:51] <shmeelAway> maybe i should reformat it
[06:51] <andreas_> glxinfo | grep direct
[06:51] <andreas_> direct rendering: No
[06:52] <Bsims> shmeelAway: I'd use ext3 its what I use
[06:52] <jrsup1> got it!  You guys are awesome!!! Thanks!
[06:52] <steven_Office> ok go to the faq and a how to is in there
[06:52] <IcemanV9> shmeelAway: i have an external hd and i create a script to use rsync to back up my data as often as i can
[06:52] <steven_Office> if nothing is on the drive format it
[06:52] <Bsims> IcemanV9: check out my script it uses rdiff-backup http://home.insightbb.com/~bmsims1/Scripts/rdiffbackup.sh
[06:53] <andreas_> Do i need to install any more drivers than xorg-driver-fglrx??
[06:53] <shmeelAway> icemanv9, do you think you can guide me through the process? i have never done it before, and idk how to get the data back even if i do reinstall
[06:53] <Kinnison> Hi, anyone here particularly up on by-label or by-uuid mounting and 6.06 LTS?
[06:54] <Bsims> IcemanV9: ya really ought to try rdiff-backup vs rsync.. ya can restore as of dates not just from a mirror
[06:54] <creepycrawly> is it safe if i delete the apt-cache
[06:54] <Kinnison> The /dev/disk/by-{uuid,label} stuff only appears for /dev/hda and not for /dev/hdc
[06:54] <shmeelAway> but if i back up this stuff, and it says it takes up 17 GB, when i get the information again won't it take up the same amount of space?
[06:54] <steven_Office> shmeelAway, just go to the ubuntu faq and in there is a howto mount you ntfs and then do your back up and reload
[06:55] <steven_Office> somthing is XXXX on you shit
[06:55] <mistform> the gnome network manager won't read my eth1 connection
[06:55] <shmeelAway> won't the reload still make the thing 17 GB?
[06:55] <jrsup1> now can anyone help set up dualhead on a laptop that actually works :D  !

[07:02] <smoenux> :( .... I was changing my Icons in the Theme Manager, and I clicked on a Icon Pack which seems to be unsuported... It broke my X and now ubuntu wont log into that user's X. Can anyone help me?
[07:02] <AmaroqWolf> I accidentally deleted all files on my system that had the string "file.so" in them.
[07:02] <Nutubuntu>  /quit Gottago
[07:02] <ubunturich> does any ubuntu user here play quake3 on ubuntu?
[07:02] <yellow> AmaroqWolf, woops!
[07:02] <ubunturich> without using ioquake3
[07:03] <mindstate> anyone usiung the Java6 backport?
[07:03] <davin> ubunturich Id want to
[07:03] <smoenux> How do I reset the Icons and mouse cursor back to the defaults, when I don't have access to X??
[07:03] <ubunturich> i hear you davin
[07:03] <ubunturich> :)
[07:03] <crazy_penguin> mindstat: me
[07:03] <mindstate> crazy_penguin: working fine?
[07:03] <ubunturich> i even have the linux version of quake3 and can't install it
[07:03] <crazy_penguin> mindstat: if you mean the java6 packages
[07:03] <ubunturich> sigh
[07:03] <crazy_penguin> mindstat: yes
[07:03] <AmaroqWolf> yellow, yeah. xD Someone gave me a command that was to help me conveniantely erase multiple files of the same name so I wouldn't have to do it by hand. I copied their command and forgot to change "file.so" in their example to what I needed.
[07:03] <mindstate> crazy_penguin: yes thats wut i meant, alright cool i will upgrade then
[07:03] <crazy_penguin> mindstat: i don't have problems with it, only with changes in the language
[07:04] <Bsims> smoenux: worst case rm the users .gnome2 directory
[07:04] <mindstate> crazy_penguin: does it come in english?
[07:04] <IcemanV9> Bsims: looks great; as long as it's working for you -- i will take a look at rdiff-backup
[07:04] <monzie> i want my cpu fan to run
[07:04] <yellow> AmaroqWolf, which .so ?
[07:04] <Bsims> but that will delete everything
[07:04] <crazy_penguin> mindstat: what do you mean?
[07:04] <monzie> can someone please tell me the command for my laptop fan to be on all the time?
[07:04] <crazy_penguin> mindstate: what do you mean?
[07:04] <yellow> AmaroqWolf, next time a ls before rm would've been better
[07:04] <Bsims> IcemanV9: just change the command from rdiff-backup to rsync
[07:04] <mindstate> crazy_penguin: nevermind lol
[07:04] <Bsims> IcemanV9: I used it sunday to restore from a disk crash
[07:04] <smoenux> Bsims: is there no way for me to change everything back to the defaults? Will I lose my emails and adresses in amarok ?
[07:05] <mindstate> crazy_penguin: did you update thru apt? how did u install it
[07:05] <crazy_penguin> mindstate: sorry i'm not a native english speaker
[07:05] <crazy_penguin> mindstate: yes
[07:05] <Bsims> smoenux: yuppers though there may be better way to do it
[07:05] <mindstate> crazy_penguin: alright i'll give it whirl
[07:05] <crazy_penguin> mindstate: you have to download manually the docs and put them into the tmp directory
[07:05] <smoenux> >.<
[07:05] <Bsims> smoenux: that is why I said worse case
[07:05] <smoenux> oh
[07:05] <smoenux> ok ^_^
[07:05] <crazy_penguin> mindstate: but for that you will be instructed by apt-get when it needs it
[07:05] <smoenux> sounds positive at lease
[07:06] <Bsims> try poking around in .gnome2 ya might be able to fix it from there
[07:06] <mindstate> crazy_penguin: ah i see, so everything is automatic pretty much?
[07:06] <AmaroqWolf> yellow: So far, I know that I lost libaudiofile.so.0, libfile.so, and libbxkbfile.so. I managed to reinstall the packages that needed those (from failsafe terminal mode), and everything seems to be working alright. I'm not sure though, if any others are gone.
[07:06] <crazy_penguin> mindstate: yes
[07:06] <IcemanV9> Bsims: i have no idea how rdiff-backup runs compared to rsync; it would be good idea to test it to another place 'til you're sure.
[07:06] <bauer77> is there any way to tell if your IP is being banned by a room?
[07:06] <yellow> AmaroqWolf, lol  g'luck
[07:06] <mindstate> crazy_penguin: okie doke
[07:07] <Bsims> IcemanV9: its rsync with hardlinks to older versions
[07:07] <fenrig> hi
[07:07] <ubunturich> i think im goin to try to install OSS drivers to get quake3 to work
[07:07] <bauer77> for some reason I can get into any room except the asterisk room
[07:07] <fenrig> how can i set up a sound server?
[07:08] <theacolyte> Trying to install 6.10: Go to boot live CD and it gives an error "Buffer I/O Error on Device sr0" -- I've tried irqpoll, pci=noacpi, ide=nodma, ide=reverse, doesn't seem to work... any ideas?
[07:08] <mistform> theacolyte, hard drive doesn't like you?
[07:08] <mistform> what is device sr0?
[07:08] <LTL> bauer77 - try changing to a non-numeric nick.  ie., too bot-like.
[07:08] <AmaroqWolf> yellow: lol thank you. They had me run a for i in 'locate file.so'; do sudo rm $i; done. I was supposed to change "file.so" to "libflashplayer.so", but I didn't think of that.
[07:08] <N1kki> anyone here good at networking?
[07:08] <bauer77> thanks LTL
[07:09] <theacolyte> mistform: Good question. I have 2x SATA, my CDROM is SATA as well
[07:09] <mistform> damn
[07:09] <mistform> ah
[07:09] <theacolyte> I'm assuming that sr0 is my SATA CDROM
[07:09] <mistform> I think thate sr = serial-rom
[07:09] <fenrig> euhm
[07:09] <theacolyte> Impossible to tell though
[07:09] <mistform> possibly a conflict with your drivers while installing Ubuntu
[07:09] <fenrig> how do i set up a sound server for edgy?
[07:09] <tom47> gaim and synaptic are failing witha message unable to contact <IP_ADDRESS>:8080 yet firefox and thiunderbird are ok any idea?
