[07:50] <sebast> I have used Galeon a few times before
[07:50] <ompaul> Frogzoo, why not have an alias auto replace for ff1.5 when you type ff(space) in your client?
[07:51] <sebast> Frogzoo:  I am quite a Linux noob so I don't know what I need to do.
[07:51] <other> TallialKubuntu our Firefox did that because we did not have flash. try installing the flash plugin if you do not have it

[07:52] <Some_Person> what do i type again?
[07:52] <biblioteca1> wey
[07:53] <biblioteca1> hellow
[07:53] <Some_Person> i forgot to write it down
[07:53] <roryy> Some_Person:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:53] <sebast> When I try and boot UBuntu I get so far.  and then it does the root file system check. and tells me that I need to repair it
[07:53] <Some_Person> thanks
[07:53] <Frogzoo> sebast: did the power die?
[07:54] <sebast> no, but recently I have been having problems with Ubuntu.
[07:54] <sebast> such as it sort of crashing and stuff
[07:54] <uzume> hi all
[07:54] <ompaul> sebast, have you added "closed source drivers" ?
[07:54] <Frogzoo> sebast: I doubt a fsck will fix it - but you can give it a go - start considering a reinstall, also maybe your disk is dying
[07:55] <sebast> my disk is nearlly full.  I was going to burn stuf to CD.  and ompaul what you mean.  closed source drivers?
[07:55] <pancake>
[07:55] <ylbeethoven_> ?
[07:55] <ylbeethoven_> is anybody here?
[07:56] <uzume> I have a small issue using a 2nd screen (or a projector) with my laptop, does someone can help ?
[07:56] <interprb> Frogzoo: yea, but it could happen again. Thanks. I need to find out how. Will share if i find anything out. Thanks all!
[07:56] <ompaul> sebast, ohh the likes of video stuff and so on, adding them in from outside, do a df -h and put the output into paste.ubuntu-nl.org and let us have a look
[07:56] <sebast> when I boot UBuntu after it tells me that there is erros with the file system.  and has tryed to do a check.  it mounts the root file system as read only
[07:56] <sebast> and I get like a command prompt thing
[07:57] <sebast> well it scrwed up on me when I was going to whatch a video I downloaded
[07:58] <Frogzoo> sebast: you'd be best to boot the live cd - & run fsck on the root filesystem while it's unmounted
[07:58] <sebast> Linux nob.  so boot the Live CD and in the shell do what?
[07:58] <sebast> noob not nob
[07:59] <uzume> actually i have the 2 screens active but when I play a video only my laptop screen is playing it, on the other screen i have my player with no image :'(
[07:59] <Frogzoo> sebast: fsck -a /dev/hdxy       where xy is the root filesystem
[07:59] <pally> dapper is so sweet

[08:04] <StAnLeY^> hey, I am trying to install Dapper RC, but it fails while checking the hard drive for filesystems. I can't get it installed. It used to work in previous betas. does anyone know if that's reported ?
[08:05] <sebast> stanley have you got Breezy installed?

[08:05] <sebast> well

[08:06] <echobinary> crap - wrong window - sory guys

[08:08] <meheren> rm  for some reason dossn't want to...

[08:11] <AndrewCaul> You deleted your Windows partition?
[08:11] <sebast> alexandra17 as I was saying you can get loads of your games working with Linux
[08:12] <distanceisdeath> where can i get the ndiswrapper drivers?
[08:12] <AlexExtreme> hello
[08:12] <AndrewCaul> You could try Cedega.
[08:12] <``alexandra17> sebast : with cedega .. i know .. but is not free
[08:12] <sebast> distanceisdeath:  wireless and Linux :(  hard wired is best
[08:13] <sebast> yes, but you can download one that you have to configure alandra17u
[08:13] <distanceisdeath> i know
[08:13] <joe_> Hi, I am having issues with Mozilla Firefox being outdated. What is the most recent version I can get for Ubuntu?
[08:13] <distanceisdeath> but  u have to go wireless
[08:13] <distanceisdeath> i**
[08:13] <StAnLeY^> ompaul: so form what directory should I download the iso from ?
[08:13] <ompaul> ``alexandra17, that is a matter between you and the games maker, if they made a version for Ubuntu you would not have to deal with cedega
[08:13] <``alexandra17> with cvs ?
[08:13] <sebast> wireless sucks and hardwired is best.  can you get it hard wired?
[08:13] <AlexExtreme> i just installed the Ubuntu 6.06 RC, and one thing i noticed with Espresso is that it doesn't prompt you if you want to install GRUB when there are other operating systems installed. The old text installer did this
[08:14] <AlexExtreme> i wasn't pleased that it overwrote the GRUB from my normal distro
[08:14] <ompaul> StAnLeY^,  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/20060525/
[08:14] <distanceisdeath> no i cant get it hard wired
[08:14] <distanceisdeath> i have a pci and a usb
[08:14] <sebast> why not?
[08:14] <uzume> bye all
[08:14] <distanceisdeath> the other computer is way across the house
[08:14] <joe_> Does anyone know how to get an updated version of mozilla firefox for Ubuntu?
[08:14] <StAnLeY^> ompaul: thanks, I'll check it out now .. after it gets downloaged of course
[08:14] <sebast> have you got Windows on the computer your using as
[08:14] <Xyloc> joe_
[08:15] <distanceisdeath> no
[08:15] <distanceisdeath> i took windows off
[08:15] <ompaul> !tell distanceisdeath about ndiswrapper
[08:15] <Xyloc> joe: Yes, just download the binary from the Mozilla.com website
[08:15] <NoUse> !tell joe_ about ff1.5
[08:15] <ompaul> distanceisdeath, just do what the bot told ya
[08:15] <sebast> ndiswrapper I messed around with that myself in the past with Fedora Core,  but coudn't get my wireless to work so
[08:16] <distanceisdeath> yeah im doing that tutorial
[08:16] <Xyloc> joe_: Just unpack it in your homedir and let the default shortcut on your panel point to firefox.sh
[08:16] <distanceisdeath> but im stuck on 2.2 set up and install
[08:16] <sebast> well if you are screwed
[08:16] <sebast> and
[08:16] <sebast> it won't work
[08:16] <sebast> with Linux
[08:16] <sebast> well
[08:16] <lerch> How do I swith user in nautilus when connected to a remote server through ssh?
[08:16] <NoUse> !enter
[08:16] <sebast> you have two optsions
[08:16] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[08:17] <Xyloc> joe_: I'm using that solution on a company machine.  I don't have full rights there, but it works and even reads my bookmarks and all.
[08:17] <ompaul> distanceisdeath, there are 9 steps in that which step are you having issues with?
[08:17] <sebast> if you carn't get your wireless working with Linux with ndiswrapper or some other program.  you have two optsions
[08:17] <distanceisdeath> 2.2
[08:17] <YazzY> howdy
[08:17] <distanceisdeath> okay
[08:17] <distanceisdeath> its okay sebast..i have another hard drive with windows on it
[08:17] <distanceisdeath> i jsut have to switch them out
[08:17] <sebast> you can buy some other wireless tha works with it or.  install Windows and have Linux inside that.
[08:18] <ompaul> distanceisdeath, okay I say it again there are 9 steps there  - which one is it that you are having problems with?
[08:18] <YazzY> i was wondering how one could change keybindings with kubuntu, i cannot find any menu application dealing with it
[08:18] <Xyloc> distanceisdeath: If you removed the Windows loader from the MBR, just type fdisk /mbr
[08:18] <distanceisdeath> whats your other irc channel??
[08:18] <Xyloc> distanceisdeath: Mind you, this WILL delete grub or lilo, so watch out!
[08:18] <distanceisdeath> what will?
[08:19] <sebast> distanceisdeath:  you can install Linux inside Windows with VMware player or VMware workstation.  and then LInux will use Windows to connect to the net.
[08:19] <stjepan> I want to remove ubuntu gnome stuff from my system and I want to install XFCE
[08:19] <distanceisdeath> windows is fine
[08:19] <Xyloc> distanceisdeath: fdisk /mbr will kill any residing boot manager as it restores the MBR to its previous state
[08:19] <stjepan> any recommendations?
[08:19] <distanceisdeath> im not dualbooting
[08:19] <stjepan> suggestions?
[08:19] <ompaul> #ubuntu-ie
[08:19] <distanceisdeath> i have two hard drives
[08:19] <distanceisdeath> both are master
[08:19] <distanceisdeath> so i cant connect together
[08:19] <distanceisdeath> and i dont feel like making it work
[08:20] <distanceisdeath> so i just switch them ouit
[08:20] <distanceisdeath> out
[08:20] <sebast> you caan install
[08:20] <sebast> LInux inside Windows in a virtual machine as they are called
[08:20] <Xyloc> distanceisdeath: Just select the active partition in Linux fdisk. (The Windows fdisk will mess up your bootloader)
[08:20] <sebast> stejepan:  you can find XFCE in the package manager I Think.  or you got to add the resporitory for it
[08:20] <distanceisdeath> wait guys
[08:21] <YazzY> so guys, any chance you know how to change keybinding in kubuntu ?
[08:21] <sebast> YazzY:  this is the ubntu channel try
[08:21] <serp> YazzY: ask kubuntu questions in #kubuntu
[08:21] <sebast> try #kubuntu
[08:21] <lerch> When I ssh to my work I use the command "gowww" to swith user once connected. How can I do the similar thing in Nautilus?
[08:21] <Xyloc> YazzY: I agree, switch -> #kubuntu
[08:22] <Javier> hola que tal a todos?

[08:25] <stjepan> is it possible to remove gnome?
[08:25] <Bluefox_> stjepan:  Xubuntu uses XFCE instead of Gnome
[08:25] <Xyloc> YazzY: are u still dizzy from the redirection? ;-)
[08:25] <stjepan> Bluefox_, how to remove Gnome?
[08:25] <Bluefox_> sebast:  not helpful
[08:25] <paradizelost> hey all
[08:25] <dextroso> hey everyone
[08:26] <sebast> Bluefox:  http://www.jfgi.us
[08:26] <paradizelost> anyone used realvnc4 from their site on ubuntu?
[08:26] <Bluefox_> sebast:  i tried the help file already, it wasn't helpful.
[08:26] <ompaul> stjepan, not really though you can use a sever install before you do anything else but if you install xfce you can leave it there if you have the disk space
[08:26] <Xyloc> stjepan: Yes, but I recommend doing it by killall gdm and after that remove it with apt-get
[08:26] <stjepan> Xyloc: apt-get remove gnome?

[08:26] <eshowl> hi everyone, i downloaded A tale in the desert online game http://atitd.com/dl/linux.shtml and it is a .run file, does anyone has any idea how can i run it???
[08:26] <dextroso> any idea?
[08:26] <paradizelost> dextroso: as in the scroller?
[08:26] <stjepan> Xyloc, but the gnome package is not installed o_O
[08:27] <paradizelost> eshowl: sh filename.run
[08:27] <Bluefox_> "You don't do it with regular text; I haven't found a way to do that, at least. But you can do it with a text box."
[08:27] <dextroso> yes
[08:27] <Bluefox_> in other words, you can't vertically center PAGE CONTENT like in microsoft word format page -> vertical alignment = center
[08:27] <paradizelost> dextroso: you need to enable ChordMiddle in your xorg.conf
[08:27] <ompaul> dextroso, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose the right option - btw it defaults to what is there at the moment
[08:27] <eshowl> paradizelost, thanks let me try it now
[08:27] <Xyloc> stjepan: In that case, just delete the src or the binaries...\
[08:27] <paradizelost> dextroso: follow ompaul's instructions
[08:27] <ompaul> Bluefox_, with what package?
[08:27] <m00se> hi guys
[08:28] <Bluefox_> sebast:  I already googled it.   http://www.google.com/search?q=vertical+center+page+openoffice&sa=Search&client=pub-1080614601679103&forid=1&complete=1&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&cof=GALT%3A%23008000%3BGL%3A1%3BDIV%3A%23336699%3BVLC%3A663399%3BAH%3Acenter%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLBGC%3A336699%3BALC%3A0000FF%3BLC%3A0000FF%3BT%3A000000%3BGFNT%3A0000FF%3BGIMP%3A0000FF%3BFORID%3A1%3B&hl=en
[08:28] <Bluefox_> sebast:  results are "You can't do that"
[08:28] <paradizelost> damn that's one long link
[08:28] <Xyloc> stjepan It's a lot though and you risk breaking a lot of packages this way
[08:28] <sebast> try the Open Office forum?
[08:28] <dextroso> i go
[08:28] <Bluefox_> ompaul:  with what package what?
[08:28] <dextroso> thanx

[08:30] <ubotu> from memory, xfce is a lightweight Desktop Environment that uses GTK. to install, "sudo apt-get install xfce4" or "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". http://www.xfce.org/
[08:31] <Xyloc> stjepan: I'd go for the second one, but honestly I don't know for sure
[08:31] <Xyloc> ubotu: Nice bot!
[08:31] <ubotu> Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Xyloc
[08:31] <ompaul> Bluefox_, sorry just reading your stuff this is what I think you want to do: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14680 if you have an example I may be able to find out how to do it
[08:32] <Xyloc> I have to make some physical grub right now ;-)
[08:32] <paradizelost> ubotu: nice bod
[08:32] <ubotu> Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, paradizelost
[08:32] <Bluefox_> ompaul:  Nope.
[08:32] <paradizelost> ubotu: nice bot
[08:32] <ubotu> well, nice bot is Thankyou
[08:32] <Frogzoo> paradizelost: freudian slip
[08:33] <Bluefox_> ompaul:  Type "My text" and it's 3.5 inches down the page.  Hit enter, and "My text" moves up to 3.0 inches, with the next line starting below that.  Hit enter again and the text moves up a bit more.
[08:33] <paradizelost> Frogzoo: yah, i'm hot for the bot
[08:33] <Frogzoo> lol
[08:33] <Bluefox_> ompaul:  Result is an equal amount of non-content exists above and below the content of the page, as is the case with File::Page Setup -> Alignment = Vertical on Microsoft Word.
[08:34] <ompaul> Bluefox_, fine leave that with me for a few minutes
[08:34] <vliedels> I have a problem with booting with ubuntu. It starts booting, installing and then stops at: "retrieving netcfg" with error msg: "there was a prob reading data from cd-rom, failed to copy file from cd-rom". Anyone knows what i can do about it??
[08:34] <Bluefox_> ompaul:  I've used google, the help file, fiddled with Format::Page, and have a forum post I'm waiting on, also asked in #openoffice.org .  Kudos if you find something, nobody else seems to.
[08:35] <paradizelost> vliedels: sounds like a bad burn to me
[08:35] <issaker> HEEEELP!
[08:35] <Bluefox_> (this was an important task to perform to get my Word Expert certification on Microsoft Word 2000)
[08:35] <vliedels> paradizelost tried with 3 cd's
[08:35] <vliedels> all stop at the same point
[08:35] <NoUse> !tell issaker about helpme
[08:35] <paradizelost> vliedels: burned on the exact same machine that you are using them on?
[08:36] <issaker> oh
[08:36] <midnight-> Question: We're using ubuntu 5.10.  Machines need to have working modems.  Is there a PCI modem that works without effort in ubuntu.  One with a non-commercial driver.
[08:36] <vliedels> paradizelost no
[08:36] <distanceisdeath> how to connec to the insternet using a pci card?
[08:36] <issaker> why wouldnt ubuntu see my SATAII drive?
[08:36] <Frogzoo> issaker: you'll do better just saying what your problem is
[08:36] <vliedels> burned on this pc, tried to boot on other pc
[08:36] <distanceisdeath> connect*
[08:36] <paradizelost> vliedels: when a cd burner starts going bad, discs can be read in it, and a select few other drives, i have a burner going out, and i have to use a different burner
[08:36] <paradizelost> try burning it in a different burner or in the same machine you are installing on
[08:36] <issaker> i have 2 HD, one on IDE2, one on SATAII
[08:36] <Frogzoo> issaker: ubuntu should see it as /dev/sda
[08:36] <issaker> as what?
[08:36] <vliedels> hmm same machine will be a problem :P
[08:37] <issaker> this is at install
[08:37] <vliedels> but isn't it strange that it stops at the same point 3 times?
[08:37] <issaker> at the partitioing screen, i cant see my SATA drive
[08:37] <paradizelost> vliedels: no, the burner is going bad.
[08:37] <paradizelost> it's corrupting the disc
[08:37] <vliedels> hm
[08:37] <paradizelost> the ISO is probably fine
[08:37] <mlalkaka> midnight-: Lucent winmodems work. i have a lucent modem on 5.10. although i don't use it on a regular basis, it has worked without problems whenever i have used it
[08:37] <paradizelost> i had a dozen bad burns from my burner, that all worked fine in the burner itself
[08:37] <Frogzoo> !linmodem
[08:37] <ubotu> well, linmodem is To get started with linmodems (aka winmodems), see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/
[08:38] <ompaul> Bluefox_, if I don't I will be meeting an OOo dev on Monday or Tuesday so that can be a matter for conversation
[08:38] <vliedels> ow and paradizelost burning it on a cd-rw is ok? don't want to spend all my cd's on failed cd's :x
[08:38] <paradizelost> vliedels: as long as it's a 700mb cdrw, yah should be
[08:39] <issaker> frogzoo, do you know what the problem is
[08:39] <midnight-> mlalkaka: Hmmmm seems to me that our stock modem is lucent based but it didn't appear to work.  We don't build too many machines that use modems so I'm out of practice using a modem in linux
[08:39] <vliedels> ok
[08:39] <paradizelost> vliedels: but don't burn w/ that burner anymore and expect the discs to be fine in other machines
[08:39] <vliedels> thnx
[08:39] <paradizelost> you did of course check the md5 of the iso image right?
[08:39] <Frogzoo> issaker: I would think it would see it...
[08:39] <Some_Person> I finally have Ubuntu set up
[08:39] <vliedels> yeah i'll try burning at another pc
[08:39] <issaker> oh =/
[08:39] <mlalkaka> midnight-: just a sec. i'll try to find out what model my lucent modem is
[08:39] <Bluefox_> ompaul:  Interesting.
[08:40] <issaker> i have a windows partition on that drive, would that be why?
[08:40] <Some_Person> But Ubuntu can't use my sound card and modem!
[08:40] <Bluefox_> ompaul:  I am going to go apply for a Network+ certificate at college, I'll check the bugzilla on OOo when I get back and file an entry if nothing comes up.
[08:40] <NoUse> issaker no, have you tried a live cd?
[08:40] <mlalkaka> midnight-: do you know how i can find some detailed info about a pci modem?
[08:40] <Some_Person> And why can only root - which i cant log on to - access my ntfs partition?
[08:41] <issaker> live CD doesnt work, i get x server errors
[08:41] <Frogzoo> !tell mlalkaka about linmodem
[08:41] <Bluefox_> Some_Person: modem doesn't surprise me.  Nobody has a real modem, they have an RJ-11 port and software to emulate a modem.
[08:41] <distanceisdeath> how do you connect to the internet using a pci card?
[08:41] <midnight-> I"ve been on the linmodem website
[08:41] <midnight-> which is a good one
[08:41] <vliedels> hmm no i didn't check the hash
[08:41] <paradizelost> !root
[08:41] <ubotu> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[08:41] <paradizelost> Some_Person: you may need to add the user option to your fstab
[08:41] <vliedels> but don't know what is was anymore
[08:41] <paradizelost> !ntfs
[08:41] <ubotu> ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows NT and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions there is no write support for ntfs that is safe.
[08:41] <midnight-> I was just hoping someone could give me a brand name and a driver name and off I'd go.
[08:41] <AndrewCaul> Some_Person: Can what does your fstab file look like?
[08:41] <NoUse> issaker switch to a terminal on the installer by hitting Ctrl+Alt+F2 and then type 'fdisk -l /dev/sda'
[08:42] <midnight-> Which of course is taking the lazy way out.

[08:44] <ompaul> Bluefox_, nothing in the docs here .. have a look at it and I will see if I get a reply monday or tuesday
[08:44] <Some_Person> i never told ubuntu to do that
[08:44] <Some_Person> so i dont know
[08:44] <issaker> nouse where do i do ctrl-alt-f2?
[08:44] <paradizelost> Some_Person: it wouldn't do it automatically unless you told it where to mount it on install
[08:44] <Some_Person> i think its /media/hda1, but i might be wrong
[08:44] <ompaul> issaker, on your keyboard

[09:01] <distanceisdeath> yeah
[09:01] <distanceisdeath> its installed

[09:02] <distanceisdeath> how do i get those?
[09:03] <issaker> scenestar do i type that at console?
[09:03] <gnomefreak> issaker: uase sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:03] <scenestar> issaker
[09:03] <scenestar> edit xorg.conf as root
[09:03] <gnomefreak> s/uase/use

[09:04] <uncle_bill> hello
[09:04] <scenestar> do lspci -v
[09:04] <Aeudian> is there an easy way to allow remote access to cups web interface my server doesnt have a gui so i cant view it from http://localhost:631
[09:04] <scenestar> and tell me which wifi card you got
[09:04] <distanceisdeath> earthen...it came with an installation cd...would the drivers be on there?
[09:04] <paradizelost> scenestar: why are you having them do the -v?
[09:04] <paradizelost> it adds a lot of extra crap
[09:04] <scenestar> paradizelost,
[09:04] <scenestar> because im more 1337 than you
[09:04] <ompaul> Aeudian, System Administration Printers
[09:04] <earthen> distanceisdeath, should be
[09:04] <gnomefreak> its also not his wifi card its distanceisdeath
[09:05] <distanceisdeath> okay
[09:05] <distanceisdeath> ill just pull them off that cd
[09:05] <distanceisdeath> so what's after that?
[09:05] <scenestar> errr
[09:05] <Aeudian> ompaul: i dont have a gui
[09:05] <scenestar> modprobe the module
[09:05] <earthen> distanceisdeath,  you should only need the .ini file if i'm not mistakes
[09:05] <gnomefreak> issaker: please dont pm without asking first
[09:05] <scenestar> earthen,
[09:05] <scenestar> wrong
[09:05] <issaker> oh sorry
[09:05] <earthen> distanceisdeath, mistaken*
[09:05] <scenestar> the .inf and the .sys
[09:05] <earthen> scenestar, what
[09:06] <scenestar> stfu
[09:06] <jonah> is there anything i can install to stop this error: checking for gtkglextmm... checking for gtkglextmm... configure: error: Package requirements (gtkglextmm-1.2 >= 1.0.0) were not met.
[09:06] <earthen> scenestar, ok
[09:06] <scenestar> ok
[09:06] <scenestar> rawl
[09:06] <scenestar> im leaving
[09:06] <scenestar> bye all
[09:06] <jonah> but i've installed libgtklextmm1c2a
[09:06] <earthen> scenestar, it's been awhile sine i used ndswrapper
[09:06] <ompaul> Aeudian, enable it for 5 minutes :-) or >>sudo dpkg-reconfigure cupssys<<
[09:06] <IngTh0rndike> hello yall
[09:07] <Aeudian> ompaul: server no gui installed =P
[09:07] <gnomefreak> thats not the one i thought of
[09:07] <gnomefreak> lol
[09:07] <ompaul> Aeudian, therefore the second part of that last command :-)
[09:08] <earthen> distanceisdeath, yeah I made a mistake you need the .inf file
[09:08] <ompaul> Aeudian, you don't seriously think I would not answer the question to the best of my ability ;-)
[09:08] <IngTh0rndike> guys i got problems installing flash player on my ubuntu 64. any way to do it? or no hope?
[09:08] <Aeudian> ompaul: hehe
[09:08] <distanceisdeath> earthen...i got three .sys files and a setup.ini
[09:08] <ompaul> !tell IngTh0rndike about chroot
[09:08] <gnomefreak> IngTh0rndike: you have to use gplflash or another one please see the following post
[09:08] <gnomefreak> !flash
[09:08] <ubotu> Installation & troubleshooting for Flash is covered in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:09] <Aeudian> ompaul: i get a /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: cupssys is not installed but when i apt get cupsys is installed
[09:09] <ompaul> Aeudian, now your just being tricky just a min :-)
[09:09] <earthen> distanceisdeath, I made a mistake you need the .inf file not the .ini
[09:09] <IngTh0rndike> ompaul, thx
[09:09] <earthen> distanceisdeath, sorry about that
[09:10] <distanceisdeath> its cool
[09:10] <distanceisdeath> i got all i believe'
[09:10] <Rubin> anyone have a favorite RSS feed for finding out about software vulnerabliities in a minimalistic way?
[09:10] <Aeudian> ompaul: sry this linux server is driving me up the wall
[09:10] <distanceisdeath> haha
[09:10] <Rubin> i am using sans, but their updates dont RSS well
[09:11] <ompaul> Aeudian, I have a fair bit of info for you please message me so I can reply on one screen
[09:11] <earthen> distanceisdeath, ok in a root terminal you need to type as root "ndiswrapper -i (path and name of the inffile)
[09:11] <earthen> distanceisdeath, this will load the driver
[09:11] <distanceisdeath> earthen
[09:11] <distanceisdeath> i put them on the desktop
[09:11] <distanceisdeath> what would be the path?
[09:12] <ompaul> Aeudian, 'lo
[09:12] <ompaul> !enter
[09:12] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[09:12] <ompaul> distanceisdeath, ^^ up two lines
[09:12] <distanceisdeath> what paul?
[09:12] <earthen> distanceisdeath, should be /home/your username/Desktop
[09:12] <distanceisdeath> okay
[09:12] <Firezip_> Guys can you help me with getting sound to work in Nexuiz?
[09:13] <Aeudian> ompaul: im confused !enter do?
[09:13] <earthen> distanceisdeath, if you just cd into the destop in the terminal you will not have to type the path
[09:13] <ompaul> distanceisdeath, not only does your nick rob the left of the screen so much real estate, but now your hitting enter when you have not made your point, please gather all your info and type it at once :-)
[09:13] <lukaswayne9> Is the keystroke for restarting X alt-ctrl-backspace?
[09:13] <VR_> can anyone help? im trying to use abcde, the cd ripper. whenever i insert a cd, and launch abcde, i get this > vr@mephisto:~$ abcde
[09:14] <VR_> cd-discid: /dev/cdrom: CDROMREADTOCHDR: Input/output error
[09:14] <VR_> [ERROR]  abcde: CD could not be read. Perhaps there's no CD in the drive?
[09:14] <claint> lukaswayne9 : no, that is the keystroke for killing X. if gdm is running it will restart.
[09:14] <emdash> i've got ubuntu 5.10 on an old graphite clamshell ibook. x11 seems a bit messed up, the red and blue channels are swapped
[09:14] <distanceisdeath> haha okay ompaul
[09:14] <lukaswayne9> claint is shift-backspace a keystroke?
[09:15] <emdash> has anyone had that issue with x11 before? i'm using the fbdev driver for x11 in 24bpp mode
[09:15] <emdash> the laptop has an ati rage mobile gpu
[09:16] <Firezip_> Can anybody help me get my sound working in Nexuiz?
[09:16] <NoUse> !tell Firezip_ about sound
[09:16] <ompaul> emdash, you really should not have to use fbdev try >>sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg<< and try ati or vesa
[09:16] <earthen> distanceisdeath, you can also "apt-get ndiswrapper-utils" that will give you a gui to install the drivers in case you wanted something like that
[09:17] <paradizelost> shift+backspace is a way to kill Xgl if you don't change your keymapping
[09:17] <Firezip_> thanks NoUse
[09:17] <NoUse> Firezip_ np
[09:18] <kbrooks> is Ubuntu 6.06 ut yet?
[09:18] <distanceisdeath> earthen
[09:18] <paradizelost> !ubuntu
[09:18] <ubotu> rumour has it, ubuntu is a free GNU/Linux distribution. More at http://www.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarkShuttleworth
[09:18] <ompaul> !dapper
[09:18] <ubotu> **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install,  or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until then
[09:18] <earthen> distanceisdeath,  yes!
[09:19] <distanceisdeath> haha...it just gives me a list of options.
[09:19] <menglef> hello, might anyone have an awnser as to the mysterious adsl via sbc/yahoo problem?
[09:20] <earthen> distanceisdeath, ok do "cd /home/distanceisdeath/Desktop"
[09:20] <paradizelost> menglef: must be mysterious, i've never heard of it
[09:20] <distanceisdeath> okay...
[09:20] <distanceisdeath> i put them into a folder....so who i bring it to that folder? or still the dektop?
[09:20] <pike__> menglef: sbc/yahoo.. their tech support is always fun :)
[09:20] <earthen> distanceisdeath, you .inf file is there on your desktop right
[09:20] <AndrewCaul> "rumour has it, ubuntu is a free GNU/Linux distribution." :)
[09:21] <distanceisdeath> nah i put it in the folder...but i added that into the path
[09:21] <earthen> distanceisdeath,  ok then cd into the folder also
[09:21] <menglef> paradizelost: it has to do with pppoeconf not being able to find the 'access concentrator'
[09:21] <distanceisdeath> okay
[09:21] <cvasilak> hello there what is the name of the package that installs the SMP kernel for dapper drake?
[09:21] <ismael> what repository should I put for haven't this error "libidn11 (>= 0.5.18) but 0.5.13-1.0 is to be installed" II have a ubuntu breezy  distribution
[09:21] <paradizelost> menglef: hmm.  those 2 would have a funky problem...
[09:22] <earthen> distanceisdeath,  what type of wifi card do you have by the way
[09:22] <ismael> libidn11 (>= 0.5.18) but 0.5.13-1.0 is to be installed
[09:22] <ismael> what repository should I put for haven't this error "libidn11 (>= 0.5.18) but 0.5.13-1.0 is to be installed" II have a ubuntu breezy  distribution
[09:22] <paradizelost> ismael: please stop spammin
[09:22] <simonpca> plop
[09:23] <menglef> paradizelost: even google has not helped, i may call tech support but i read some scary tales
[09:23] <paradizelost> menglef: i doubt that tech support will get you anywhere, most places only "officially" support windows
[09:23] <ismael> sorry
[09:24] <menglef> paradizelost: yes i read that, is there any odd software which might be able to configure this? besides pppoeconf?
[09:24] <Who_> ismael: 1. you are spamming again
[09:24] <Drake_> what would be the reason for two instances of /usr/sbin/smbd? That is the samba daemon, isn't it?
[09:24] <Who_> ismael: apologies, I am not so clever!
[09:24] <distanceisdeath> earhten...its saying there is not directory
[09:25] <distanceisdeath> cd /home/distance/desktop
[09:25] <paradizelost> menglef: you could just get a linksys or something and dmz the linux box...
[09:25] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: desktop needs a CAPITAL  D -  Desktop
[09:25] <earthen> distanceisdeath, desktop starts with a upper case D
[09:25] <distanceisdeath> and its a d link pci card
[09:25] <distanceisdeath> what about home?
[09:25] <earthen> small h for home
[09:25] <Who_> ismael: It is in the Dapper drake repositories, but that is a newer version of Ubuntu than you have - it is likely that it will mean you need to update a _lot_ of files
[09:26] <Drake_> linksys WRT's are beautiful with OpenWRT on them
[09:26] <paradizelost> Drake_: i prefer dd-wrt
[09:26] <paradizelost> prettier/easier to use interface
[09:26] <paradizelost> and still have the option to SSH into it
[09:27] <emdash> ompaul: i could not get it to work with ati
[09:27] <paradizelost> i actually went and set up a virtual interface at my office, i set up SBS servers, and they need to be in their own subnet
[09:27] <emdash> ompaul: it would gripe something about not reading vbios
[09:28] <Drake_> with OpenWRT you can have very explict iptables, snort, or anything else you want running on your gateway/router
[09:28] <earthen> distanceisdeath, "cd /home/distance/Desktop/folder"
[09:28] <distanceisdeath> all right earthen
[09:28] <Xyloc> Bye everyone, I'm going out to dinner :-)
[09:28] <distanceisdeath> i was capitalizingmy name
[09:29] <distanceisdeath> have fun xyloc
[09:29] <paradizelost> Drake_: this is true, but it's all by hand, i haven't seen a nice web management interface for openwrt yet
[09:29] <earthen> distanceisdeath, ok if you do "ls" command do you see the .inf file
[09:29] <paradizelost> unless there's one you know of...
[09:29] <ompaul> emdash, and how about vesa?
[09:30] <distanceisdeath> yes earthen
[09:30] <earthen> distanceisdeath, if you can tell me the name of the file
[09:30] <distanceisdeath> prismnic.inf
[09:31] <distanceisdeath> in caps though
[09:31] <earthen> distanceisdeath, then type or cut and past this command "sudo ndiswrapper -i prismnic.inf"
[09:31] <tuxtheslacker> .clear
[09:31] <tuxtheslacker> hello.
[09:31] <distanceisdeath> does it matter?? lowercase or capital?
[09:31] <Derami1> is there a way to modify the grid on the desktop that icons snap to?
[09:32] <earthen> distanceisdeath, yes
[09:32] <tuxtheslacker> did everyone see that google released picasa for linux?
[09:32] <distanceisdeath> well the file name is capital
[09:32] <earthen> distanceisdeath, Linux is allway case sensitive
[09:32] <distanceisdeath> so
[09:32] <earthen> distanceisdeath, ok then put cap
[09:32] <distanceisdeath> sudo ndiswrapper -i PRISMNIC.INF
[09:33] <earthen> distanceisdeath, get in the habbit of using the "TAb key when typing files
[09:33] <distanceisdeath> when i press i see peoples name
[09:33] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: tab completion is your friend....
[09:33] <kocodomo> hello
[09:33] <earthen> distanceisdeath, you got that right
[09:34] <janusday> My system does not start X by default. How do I enable X by default?
[09:34] <mlalkaka> midnight-: i think i have a simple solution. i've posted it at http://mlalkaka.pastebin.com/739922.
[09:34] <earthen> distanceisdeath, mmm I don't know whay you should be seeing people names
[09:34] <tuxtheslacker> janusday, start it in init 5
[09:34] <thanasis> earthen, cause he is using the TAB in his IRC client
[09:34] <distanceisdeath> earthen
[09:34] <earthen> thanasis, LOL
[09:34] <ompaul> earthen, the difference between irc and terminal :-)
[09:34] <distanceisdeath> it says installing pri.........
[09:34] <thanasis> :)
[09:35] <simonpca> earthen: you type the first caracters, then TAB
[09:35] <distanceisdeath> then it gives me control on the command line again
[09:35] <crazy_penguin> could some one tell if the apache package for ubuntu is preconfigurated to a certain level or it is raw (factory configurated)?
[09:35] <earthen> distanceisdeath, use tab i mean in your ternimal while typing root commands
[09:35] <distanceisdeath> oh
[09:35] <distanceisdeath> haha
[09:35] <tuxtheslacker> earthen, u can use tab for every user, not just root.
[09:36] <janusday> tuxtheslacker, Do you mean setting the default runlevel to 5?
[09:36] <earthen> tuxtheslacker,  yes i know but I trying not to be to confising for distanceisdeath
[09:36] <ompaul> crazy_penguin, iirc it has the www changed but that is it - like the machine points not to apache-2/. but the directory below that
[09:36] <Derami1> is there any way to modify the grid on the desktop that icons snap to?
[09:36] <distanceisdeath> yeah distance
[09:36] <tuxtheslacker> earthen, oh okay :-D
[09:36] <tuxtheslacker> Janusday: yupperz
[09:36] <Drake_> must have been lagged
[09:37] <distanceisdeath> welll what now earthen...it says installing....but i have command line again.....and it doesnt say finshed or anything
[09:37] <ompaul> janusday, its 2 in debian systems :-) N 2
[09:37] <earthen> distanceisdeath, thats a good thing
[09:37] <janusday> tuxtheslacker, I've tried that - but it doesn't seem to work
[09:37] <ompaul> janusday, 0126
[09:37] <tuxtheslacker> ompaul, seems to have it :-)
[09:37] <distanceisdeath> okay good!!
[09:37] <earthen> distanceisdeath, now do "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper"
[09:37] <distanceisdeath> one sec
[09:38] <earthen> distanceisdeath, after that if you are lucky it should work
[09:38] <janusday> ompaul, I don't understand, please explain - I already have it set to runlevel 2
[09:38] <tuxtheslacker> janusday, I'm coming out of slackware background, debian is a little different as you can imagine :-)
[09:38] <emdash> ompaul: vesa does not appear as an option
[09:38] <ompaul> earthen, are you the man in the ice country?
[09:38] <truz_`24> what tool are we using to edit hex values in a file?
[09:38] <Frogzoo> !tell tuxtheslacker about docs
[09:38] <distanceisdeath> all right earthen
[09:38] <ompaul> emdash, your using - ppc?
[09:38] <distanceisdeath> it should work?
[09:38] <earthen> ompaul, yes sir I am, long time no talk
[09:38] <emdash> ompaul: yes
[09:38] <ompaul> earthen, :-)
[09:39] <janusday> tuxtheslacker, Yes, i know, I've been slacking as well
[09:39] <crazy_penguin> ompaul: that's not preciselly what i want to know. i want to know if the package/apache is comes preconfigurated like in mandriva or other such distros so you don't need to configurate it from the ground level.
[09:39] <ompaul> emdash, the instruction I gave was based on x86 - hmm
[09:39] <tuxtheslacker> janusday, :-P
[09:39] <Drake_> why would two instances of /usr/sbin/smbd -D be running as root? that is the samba daemon, isn't it?
[09:39] <earthen> distanceisdeath, try loking for wifi networs by going to System -> Administration -> Networking
[09:39] <thanasis> earthen, with no offence to distanceisdeath, i admire your patience !!!
[09:39] <tuxtheslacker> janusday, I have to say overall, I'm very please with ubuntu in comparison.
[09:40] <Frogzoo> Drake_: it's normal
[09:40] <ompaul> crazy_penguin, well I had it up and running doing virtual sites in 10 minutes,
[09:40] <tuxtheslacker> it's not slow as dog menor like fedora, and it's easy to manage unlike slackware.
[09:40] <distanceisdeath> im a noob
[09:40] <earthen> thanasis, LOL thank you I'm use to it I work at a school so I do this every day
[09:40] <janusday> ompaul, is it some permissions you apply?
[09:40] <crazy_penguin> ompaul: ok. thx :)
[09:40] <janusday> ompaul, I did not understand your last message
[09:40] <gnomnain> hello
[09:40] <thanasis> distanceisdeath, everyone used to be sometime noobs, so don't feel bad
[09:41] <firestorm> Hello, I want to set up a directory that users can create new directorys, files etc.. yet retain the permission of the main directory; is their a way to do this?
[09:41] <distanceisdeath> WOOHOO
[09:41] <distanceisdeath> it says it has to be configured
[09:41] <distanceisdeath> thats easy right?
[09:41] <ompaul> janusday, I was saying the only valid runlevels in debian / Ubuntu are 0 1 2 6
[09:41] <tuxtheslacker> since when are students known as n00bs? we're all here to learn, so we're all in some way a n00b :-P
[09:41] <earthen> distanceisdeath, Should be
[09:41] <janusday> ompaul, oh, now I see
[09:41] <earthen> distanceisdeath, LOL
[09:41] <thanasis> tuxtheslacker, i totally agree with you
[09:42] <Frogzoo> firestorm: look at sticky bit for directory
[09:42] <janusday> ompaul, so I should just choose 2 sa my default runlevel?
[09:42] <ompaul> distanceisdeath, it should have been, :-) if you type history > ndiswrapper you can see what command you ran
[09:42] <earthen> distanceisdeath, I'm not too far removed from a noob so don't worrie about asking questions and such
[09:42] <ompaul> janusday, it should do so automagically, but yes
[09:42] <Derami1> Is there a way to resize the grid icons snap to on the desktop? I am running Gnome.
[09:43] <janusday> ompaul, ok I just wandered how to control if X is starting automaticcaly at boot...
[09:43] <distanceisdeath> okay
[09:43] <ompaul> earthen, well you keep a gang load of kids safe with dans guardian and stuff :-)
[09:43] <distanceisdeath> yeah you just saved a fourteen year olds butt
[09:43] <root1> quit
[09:43] <earthen> ompaul, yeah it's been running great I heven't tuched it a long time,
[09:44] <root1> \q
[09:44] <earthen> ompaul, Only problem is now I'm not sure i remember how to set it up in case I have to reinstall :-)
[09:45] <earthen> distanceisdeath, you should be able to brows for network now. can you do that?
[09:45] <ompaul> janusday, well it should start with x if you want to stop that behaviour I suggest you install "bum" boot up manager and tell it to turn off GDM
[09:45] <ompaul> janusday, then you can start it with /etc/init.d/gdm start
[09:45] <ompaul> janusday, many ways to skin a cat and that is one of them
[09:46] <ompaul> earthen, you remember its one line uncommented in dans and away you go then it is a matter for the rbl
[09:47] <janusday> ompaul, ok now I have installed bum.
[09:47] <distanceisdeath> earthen
[09:47] <earthen> ompaul, my latest headache is trying to setup windows 2003 Active directory  while still using Ubuntu as the primary DNS server LOL
[09:47] <distanceisdeath> im still figuring out my static ip and stuff
[09:47] <ompaul> janusday, sudo bum < start there
[09:47] <janusday> ompaul, so I just do ipdate-rc.d gdm defaults
[09:47] <firestorm> ok I got it to work sort of but I can only create directorys from terminal not nautilus
[09:47] <janusday> ompaul, ok thanks
[09:48] <emdash> ompaul: i tried ati again
[09:48] <earthen> distanceisdeath, ok I was asuming that the wifi was using DHCP
[09:48] <defcon8> i installed libapache-mod-python2.4. how do i configure this to be used by apache2?
[09:48] <ompaul> earthen, enjoy, there is a #windows channel on this network maybe they know - just refer to an external dns server :-)
[09:49] <Frogzoo> firestorm: take a look at both chmod +s & chmod +t on the directory, usually both are what you want
[09:49] <defcon8> anyone?
[09:49] <emdash> ompaul: it dies, i could send the detailed xserver output
[09:49] <aroman> hello all
[09:49] <ompaul> emdash, not to the channel
[09:49] <earthen> ompaul, there is I did not know that thanks your allways pointing me in the right direction
[09:50] <ompaul> emdash, go back to your framebuffer - in the short term and look for a ppc user :-)
[09:50] <distanceisdeath> oh
[09:50] <ompaul> any PPC user here willing to talk with emdash
[09:50] <distanceisdeath> maybe t is
[09:50] <distanceisdeath> lemme try that
[09:50] <defcon8> noone uses apache?
[09:50] <ompaul> distanceisdeath, stop with the enters - that is not an option any more okay!
[09:50] <stjepan> anyone here uses GNOME Dictionary?
[09:50] <aroman> so here's the deal. I'm out of CDs and I want to put xubuntu on my desktop computer. I can boot through PXE (I have everything set up). But, I have a netboot image only for regular ubuntu (which will install ubuntu-desktop, not, I'm guessing xubuntu-desktop). How can I pxe install in such a way as to not install any -desktop packages (just give me a base system with a command prompt only) ?
[09:51] <ompaul> defcon8, people do maybe they did not see your question
[09:51] <janusday> ompaul, but "update-rc.d gdm defaults" gives that the symbolic links already exists.
[09:51] <defcon8> i installed libapache-mod-python2.4. how do i configure this to be used by apache2?
[09:52] <chowells2> aroman: would it not be easier to just do a full install and remove the one you don't want?
[09:52] <earthen> ompaul, what do you mean by distanceisdeath and doing enters, I don't see anything unusual with his posts?
[09:52] <aroman> chowells2: why? It's gonna save me a lot of time downloading all those packages
[09:52] <ompaul> janusday, your trying to turn it off I imagine - if it is not working then your previous question mislead me - :-) so it would be sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm :-)
[09:53] <firestorm> Frog, I have those set users can creat folders but they become owners of those folder and permission are drwxr-xr-r on the created folder
[09:53] <aroman> ok I see that there's apparently a parameter called ubuntu/install-type=custom
[09:53] <aroman> anyone ever used it?
[09:53] <distanceisdeath> earthen how do i figure out the dhcp?
[09:53] <chowells2> aroman: oh, big downloads don't bother me
[09:53] <janusday> ompaul, I'll try that
[09:53] <ompaul> distanceisdeath, System Settings Networking from the menu
[09:53] <aroman> chowells2: yeah, me neither but I want it FAST NOW! :P
[09:53] <chowells2> aroman: heh
[09:54] <aroman> yeah
[09:54] <aroman> ^_^
[09:54] <distanceisdeath> not to enter then ompaul...to find what they are
[09:54] <ompaul> defcon8, I don't use it with modules - for some reason I don't need to but I can check a book or two :-)
[09:54] <ompaul> distanceisdeath, is english your first language?
[09:54] <distanceisdeath> yes
[09:55] <earthen> distanceisdeath, DHCP should auto connect you with the right ip and dns numbers you don't figure it out it is just sopost to work
[09:55] <cvasilak> hi there, i just upgraded to an smp kernel for daper LTS release, the problem is that wireless doesn't work any more(for 386 stock kernel works fine), any help?
[09:55] <firestorm> MAybe I should explain exactly what I want to try to do I want to have a folder /home/share created with permissions for all users to read and write and I want all files/directorys within that directory to retain read and write for all users
[09:55] <distanceisdeath> thr right ip and dns?  where do i enter those?
[09:55] <cvasilak> i am using ipw3945 chipset
[09:55] <ompaul> distanceisdeath, you don't the machine does it automatically
[09:56] <distanceisdeath> oh okay
[09:56] <defcon8> ompaul, i will find out. thanks
[09:56] <stjepan> anyone here uses GNOME Dictionary?
[09:56] <emdash> hm
[09:56] <emdash> i remember now
[09:57] <ompaul> defcon8, there is #apache
[09:57] <pally> how could I know what's new for dapper?
[09:57] <distanceisdeath> if its activating the interface is it connecting?
[09:57] <emdash> okay, so i gave it the wrong value for video ram, (megabytes when it should have been kilobytes)...that gets xorg working with the ati driver. but then what happens is that video display is screwed up
[09:58] <Pharaoh_Atem> i think something very wrong occurred in shipit, what do i do?
[09:58] <emdash> it'sl ike the wrong modeline for the lcd or something, it's split in the middle and wraps around to the top of the screen
[09:58] <earthen> distanceisdeath, no I think it's just trying to turn on the network card
[09:59] <Pharaoh_Atem> it seems shipit sent Ubuntu 6.06 CDs before its release
[09:59] <earthen> distanceisdeath, If it does not activate it then ther is something wrong and maybe your card does not work with ndswrapper
[09:59] <distanceisdeath> it activates
[10:00] <distanceisdeath> it give me the option to deavtivate when its done...on the right panel
[10:00] <Pharaoh_Atem> the DAY that shipit switched to Ubuntu 6.06, i ordered a set of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Ubuntu CDs
[10:00] <earthen> distanceisdeath, or the ndswrapper doesn't like that driver
[10:00] <Pharaoh_Atem> and it says now that yesterday they were approved and sent to shipping company
[10:00] <distanceisdeath> could WEP be the problem?
[10:00] <distanceisdeath> type in the wrong password
[10:00] <distanceisdeath> ?
[10:01] <earthen> distanceisdeath, you should turn off wep on the access point
[10:01] <Pharaoh_Atem> i guess no one here actually works on Shipit
[10:01] <distanceisdeath> one second
[10:01] <earthen> distanceisdeath, I've hear ndswapper has problems connecting when wep is turned on sometimes
[10:01] <aroman> if I do an expert install will I be able to select which packages I want installed?

[10:03] <Snake__> Hey guys im on kubuntu dapper having a bit of trouble with java. When I try to install the offical, I get this: http://snake.pastebin.com/739954 -- When I try to install blackdown I get this: http://snake.pastebin.com/739986
[10:03] <Snake__> Help
[10:04] <cannibal14> i d/l ubuntu and burned an iso disk
[10:04] <NickGarvey> how is this possible?  FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 7: enlarged logical partitions overlap ---- I thought only 4 logical partitions could exist..
[10:04] <cannibal14> i think its installed ubuntu over windoze...
[10:04] <Snake__> NickGarvey: 4 primary partions, unlimited logical iirc
[10:04] <NickGarvey> snake_: okie dokie, so next question
[10:04] <ompaul> cannibal14, go find your father and say the word "sorry"
[10:04] <cannibal14> oh shit
[10:04] <NickGarvey> what does that mean?
[10:05] <firestorm> Snake, I had to run the java install from synaptic for the license to present itself then it worked fine
[10:05] <ompaul> cannibal14, do not use bad language in this channel thanks
[10:05] <NickGarvey> cannibal14: ..thats not good
[10:05] <pike__> cannibal14: no dont.  dont say anything if he asks just tell him "it must be a virus"
[10:05] <Snake__> firestorm: Ill try that with adept, and pray it will work
[10:05] <cannibal14> sorry
[10:05] <Snake__> NickGarvey: No idea :) I just know my hardware hehe
[10:06] <cannibal14> even when i shut it down, it starts as ubuntu...
[10:06] <NickGarvey> snake_: ;)  yeah, I have 7 partitions because I have 3 OS's
[10:06] <NickGarvey> and swap and fat32 and a /boot partition
[10:06] <NickGarvey> heh
[10:06] <NickGarvey> and whats the 7th..
[10:06] <prxq> Hi. I installed linux-source-2.6.15, untarred it, and ran make-kpkg kernel_image. make[5] : *** [drivers/usb/net/zd1211/zddevlist.h]  Error 1
[10:06] <Snake__> NickGarvey: perhaps boot up in a live disk and check it out with gparted?
[10:06] <ompaul> cannibal14, no point in that he should use linux anyway
[10:06] <Snake__> best I can think
[10:06] <ompaul> :-)
[10:06] <prxq> (that's on dapper RC1)
[10:07] <Snake__> firestorm: no good
[10:07] <prxq> any ideas?
[10:07] <ompaul> he gone
[10:07] <NickGarvey> ah one is the extended
[10:07] <The> does ayone know how to make a plugin ???
[10:07] <The> a plugin for Azureus
[10:08] <Snake__> NickGarvey: yes there has to be one extended, then your logical are seated under that
[10:08] <firestorm> Snake go to system, admin then synaptic package manager and use it
[10:08] <EmxBA> hi everyone again
[10:08] <EmxBA> i have a very strange problem with apt
[10:08] <NickGarvey> Snake__: yup :), now I need to find whats overlapping what..
[10:08] <ompaul> The, your nick is going to annoy you as every time someone says the it will light up the screen, - go to #azureus for that
[10:08] <emdash> okay well, despite the fact that the display is initially garbled, i'm able to login
[10:08] <emdash> and it seems to get the correct resolution after that happens
[10:08] <ompaul> the problem with that is that the is a common word :-)
[10:08] <Snake__> firestorm: one moment, as I said im on kubuntu, synaptic is a gnome program :)
[10:09] <firestorm> o nm then
[10:09] <EmxBA> anyone? i tried to install some .deb packaged from debian dvd but they have unmet dependencies
[10:09] <Snake__> firestorm: dont worry, ill dl it and try, synaptic may do something adept doesnt
[10:09] <EmxBA> so now when i want to apt-get install *something* i must download 40MB :( but i have only dialup connection
[10:09] <Blissex> EmxBA: add the DVD as an APT source with 'apt-cdrom' and use 'apt' to install them.
[10:09] <firestorm> Snake, yeah I got the same error till I used synaptic
[10:09] <emdash> could it be that it tries to start gdm at the highest resolution ?
[10:10] <emdash> at least the colors aren't reversed now
[10:10] <EmxBA> Blissex: but it takes too long to scan dvd
[10:10] <Blissex> EmxBA: obviously you are a very advanced guru so you fully understand the implications of mixing binaries from Ubuntu and Debian...
[10:10] <distanceisdeath> distance is back
[10:10] <ompaul> emdash, it tries for the highest it can get to
[10:10] <mlalkaka> call me a geek, but i can't help it; i'm a little excited about the release of 6.06
[10:10] <NickGarvey> does anyone have suggestions on how I could find more information to help me find what is giving this error?, I have ran fdisk -l and I see no issues
[10:10] <EmxBA> Blissex: don't be like that! I didn't understand till now
[10:10] <distanceisdeath> ompaul...your right my screen name does take up half the windiw
[10:10] <NickGarvey> mlalkaka: me too.. so much.. I got the rc today
[10:10] <distanceisdeath> window*
[10:10] <tonyyarusso> mlalkaka: Aren't we all?
[10:11] <intelikey> Q.  i know that 1>  redirects stdout  and  2> redirects stderr  but how do you stop things from blurting out stuff like "[4302423.678000]  Buffer I/O error on device fd0p28, logical block 20"  to other ttys ?  the badblocks command that gave that had 2>/dev/null appended  ???
[10:11] <ompaul> mlalkaka, your nickname is rather disrespectful to yourself, and if anyone speaks greek, care to change it?
[10:11] <EmxBA> now it is scanning DVD
[10:11] <mlalkaka> ompaul: what does it mean? it's my first initial and last name
[10:12] <Snake__> firestorm: your my god. <3
[10:12] <Snake__> synaptic handled it
[10:12] <distanceisdeath> earthen you still here?
[10:12] <mlalkaka> ompaul: msg me if it's too bad to say in here
[10:12] <thanasis> ompaul, you know greek ?
[10:13] <ompaul> thanasis, no but I can swear in many and read phonetically
[10:13] <firestorm> Snake, Yeah its wierd I dont know why it works
[10:13] <NickGarvey> ompaul: heh, gifted eh
[10:13] <pally> I cannot install opera.deb cause the dependency problem after updating to dapper, xlib6g and xlibs are missing, where did they go?
[10:13] <thanasis> thanasis, okay. I am from Greece !! If you need anything....
[10:13] <reiki_work> ack! stuck in 640 x 480 using live CD of 5.04

[10:15] <misieq> Subhuman: what software is it made on?
[10:15] <distanceisdeath> i cannot adjust my date and time
[10:15] <Subhuman> oh, i thoguht u meant like how to use it :D , im not sure, probably eggdrop.
[10:15] <distanceisdeath> whats with that
[10:15] <tonyyarusso> misieq: it's a blootbot
[10:16] <misieq> i'm lame in irc bots but i'd like to set up one to another channel and i'd like to have similar capabilities to ubotu...
[10:16] <meandbrighton> hello to all!
[10:17] <pez> hi.. im thaving problems with ubuntu not displaying anything at the login.. im using a nvidia geforce 6800 gs card.. i have got the linux driver from their site and trying to run it from a cd i burnt it from... however, when i go to virtual terminal (CRTL + ALT + F1), i cant access the cdrom? anyone have any ideas?
[10:17] <Subhuman> pez , you need to mount it
[10:18] <pez> i think it is already mounted as it shows up when i do 'ls /'
[10:18] <distanceisdeath> So how do i switch over to kde?
[10:19] <thenetduck> #azureus
[10:20] <saxin> distanceisdeath, try: sudo apt-get install kde
[10:20] <pez> subhuman.. sorry, i dont know how to mount it :S
[10:20] <distanceisdeath> do i have to download it?
[10:20] <distanceisdeath> saxin?
[10:20] <meandbrighton> Hello, i am really big beginner...so please dont laugh, if the questions are to banal...anyway i have isntalled ubunto(amd64) versin on hp nx6125 laptop, after I login i get msg that in file /etc/hosts I didnt specify ubunto internet address and that system will not work properly...as well i can not access to network properties...any ideas, please help!
[10:21] <jonah> y guys i changed my password with sudo passwd, so now things ask me for a password but they didn't use to. how do i go back to how it used to be?
[10:21] <pez> how can i mount it?
[10:21] <pike__> pez: easiest thing to do might be to 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' find the line for your graphics card saying driver    "nvidia"  and change that to "vesa".  after that at least you will have a gui and you can work on installing nvidia drivers
[10:22] <Subhuman> pez, if your cdrom drive is on your othr ide cable
[10:22] <prxq> here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=85064 it says something about doing "apt-get install linux-tree" which fails on my shiny new dapper box. What is the correct name?
[10:22] <Subhuman> it'll be line
[10:23] <Subhuman> "sudo mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom" or "sudo mount /dev/hdd /media/cdrom
[10:23] <distanceisdeath> does anyone know how to install kde?  do i need to download it?...what?
[10:23] <Beawolfe> Have a question about disk imaging in Ubuntu........anyone here have some clues?
[10:24] <pike__> distanceisdeath: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:24] <distanceisdeath> and do i have to be in the same directory?
[10:24] <Beawolfe> I looked at "Amanda" but couldnt figure out what platform to use
[10:24] <pike__> distanceisdeath: eh?
[10:24] <distanceisdeath> the same directory...so it knows where the installation file is
[10:25] <pez> pike__: i tried that command and it says my driver is 'nv'? will it work if i replace it with  'nvidia'?
[10:25] <salah> hi. is there simply anything in ubuntu which don't let outgoing connections work? ssh(fs), ftp, web server etc works fine, but ping, apt or anything else which uses outgoing connection don't work. any ideas why not?
[10:25] <pike__> distanceisdeath: it will download it from an online repo and install appropriately you can type that from any location
[10:25] <prxq> so how's the in what package is the dapper kernel tree?
[10:26] <crimsun> linux-source-2.6.15
[10:26] <pike__> pez: not yet if you change it to vesa you will at leat have your desktop back
[10:26] <distanceisdeath> oh okay
[10:26] <pike__> pez: are you on dapper or breey
[10:26] <distanceisdeath> just makin sure...im a noob
[10:26] <pike__> distanceisdeath: its alot to take in
[10:26] <distanceisdeath> yeah
[10:27] <distanceisdeath> would i download the breezy?
[10:27] <pez> pike: im on breezy
[10:27] <prxq> crimsun: any ideas why compilation fails?
[10:27] <pez> ive just changed it from 'nv' to 'vesa'.. but how do i save it? LOL
[10:27] <pike__> pez: any reason you wanted the drivers from nvidia site? theyre easy enough to install but it is some work
[10:28] <pike__> pez: ctl-o i thinkg dont use nano often
[10:28] <crimsun> prxq: compilation of what?
[10:28] <prxq> crimsun: compilation of the 2.6.15 kernel so installed.
[10:29] <pez> yeah it saved ;-) good memory pike!
[10:29] <distanceisdeath> if i install kde will i lose my drivers and network settings?
[10:29] <mimi_working> I was watching a V.C.D on mplayer and it froze, can not close it, but the "force quit" dialog box is not coming up, how can I close it, via the GUi or the term?
[10:29] <pez> pike: i will go for the 'vesa' option and install the nvidia driver once i have a GUI
[10:30] <linchris> hello, its me again :) I wonder which software to use to erase DVD-RWs?
[10:30] <prxq> maybe I have to specify the compiler? like CC=gcc-4.0 or something like that?
[10:30] <ompaul> distanceisdeath, no just do this and let it happen >>sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop<< then spend some time getting familar with it
[10:30] <mimi_working> be right back, if anyone thinks of something, please /notice me
[10:32] <H080J03> where is findbar1?

[10:34] <Seveas> Cyorxamp, the question is: will vista be a viable competitor to Ubuntu
[10:34] <Cyorxamp> Seveas - thats not my question
[10:34] <Cyorxamp> But it may be yours
[10:34] <distanceisdeath> if i install kde over gnome...will i lose my drivers and network settings?
[10:35] <saxin> mimi_working, try this: ps aux | grep mplayer         then: kill number  (you will see the number when you do ps aux | grep mplayer)
[10:35] <Seveas> distanceisdeath, no
[10:35] <Seveas> saxin, pkill is quicker ;)
[10:35] <gnomefreak> distanceisdeath: install it side by side not over ;)
[10:35] <pez> pike: ill give it a try... my resolution is really small :D
[10:36] <pez> :S*

[10:39] <distanceisdeath> thats what i got when i went to kde.org
[10:40] <EmxBA> Blissex: how to do that, for god sake
[10:40] <Seveas> distanceisdeath, use the package manager, don't download random file from the internet
[10:40] <Seq> JoaoJoao: that and a for loop
[10:40] <Rubin> pally, god i hope not :(
[10:40] <Rubin> pally, where did you hear that?
[10:40] <EmxBA> Seveas, here's my pastebin, I want to respect the procedure : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d14686
[10:41] <Blissex> EmxBA: 'man apt-get' lists the various options, I think you might want to use '-f'
[10:41] <EmxBA> I assume that means "fast"
[10:41] <mike-e_> how can i install glib2
[10:41] <gnomefreak> no it mean --fix-dependencies
[10:41] <H080J03> where is finbar1 ?
[10:42] <Cyorxamp> GRrggagagG!Gag GAK!
[10:42] <Tedd||> How do I find out my version of Dapper?
[10:42] <Tedd||> What's the command?
[10:42] <EmxBA> gnomefreak: -f means fast
[10:42] <zelevw> hi...i have 2 network interfaces on a computer on my network...how can i enable the computer to act as a router? no firewall rules are required...running 5.10...thank you
[10:42] <gnomefreak> Tedd||: lsb_release -a
[10:42] <earthen> distanceisdeath,  just type " sudo apt-get install kde" in the terminal
[10:42] <Khaaaaan> damn I just installed the ATI drivers on my T40 and they suck for performace
[10:42] <Khaaaaan> haha
[10:42] <gnomefreak> EmxBA: not with apt-get it doesnt
[10:43] <EmxBA> gnomefreak: i mean apt-cdrom add -f
[10:43] <gnomefreak> earthen: kubuntu-desktop please
[10:43] <mike-e_> how can i install glib2
[10:43] <earthen> gnomefreak,  is that the package name?
[10:43] <crimsun> mike-e_: it's already installed.
[10:44] <Blissex> EmxBA: that was 'man apt-cdrom'....
[10:44] <gnomefreak> earthen: kubuntu-desktop =kde
[10:44] <gnomefreak> plus more ;)
[10:44] <gnomefreak> EmxBA: you said man apt-get
[10:44] <H080J03> how come when i play Mp3 on ubuntu they sound like poop?
[10:44] <EmxBA> Blissex: i was wondering how to add Debian DVD and fix my broken dependencies
[10:44] <EmxBA> EmxBA: oh, sorry
[10:44] <earthen> gnomefreak,  yes but are what you are saying can he type "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[10:45] <gnomefreak> yes
[10:45] <Khaaaaan> How can I tell which video card driver I am running??
[10:45] <earthen> gnomefreak,  I didn't know that there was a package by that name
[10:45] <Inazad> I want to put a splashimage for grub.. what I have to do ?
[10:45] <gnomefreak> earthen: its better for people new to ubuntu that dont know the basic packages to install the meta packages
[10:45] <earthen> gnomefreak,  I'm not a KDE fan myself
[10:45] <Blissex> EmxBA: of course I am a bit surprised that someone who fully understands the dangers of mixing Debian and Ubuntu packages has forgotten the options of 'apt-cdrom' :-)
[10:46] <gnomefreak> earthen: ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop along with edubuntu-desktop :)
[10:46] <pally> Rubin, check this http://audacious.nenolod.net/FAQ
[10:46] <EmxBA> Blissex: i could be rude as you, but I don't want that
[10:46] <Inazad> I want to put a splashimage for grub.. what I have to do ?
[10:46] <mwe> Inazad: get an image with the right size and color depth, gzip it and point menu.lst to it
[10:46] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Inazad -about grub
[10:47] <EmxBA> Blissex: if you want, we could speak nicely on PM, really
[10:47] <H080J03> ubotu tell H080J03 -about grub
[10:47] <earthen> gnomefreak,  yeah I know of them but I just didn't know that they had install packages for them
[10:47] <BanskuZ> http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Splash_image_in_GRUB
[10:47] <gnomefreak> H080J03: dont use the -about when sending to yourself :(
[10:47] <Inazad> mwe, I have to edit my config (menu.lst?
[10:47] <Khaaaaan> How do I run ATI drivers utilities??
[10:48] <H080J03> how you use it to send it to your self then?
[10:48] <gnomefreak> Inazad: please read the link ubotu sent you
[10:48] <gnomefreak> theres a full section on it
[10:48] <gnomefreak> H080J03: /msg ubotu grub
[10:48] <Rubin> pally, yeah, the bmp wikipedia page has details also
[10:48] <H080J03> thz
[10:48] <mimi_working> seveas, saxin: many thanks both of you
[10:48] <gnomefreak> H080J03: /msg ubotu whatever you need info on
[10:49] <lime4by4> ubuntu and ampache what would cause this error You don't have permission to access /ampache/ on this server.it was working fine till i rebooted the linux box
[10:49] <mwe> Inazad: yes
[10:49] <H080J03> hmm
[10:49] <pally> rubin o
[10:49] <gilprice> Hello All, what application is used for viewing .pdf files in Dapper? I can't seem to find any of the usual suspects in the Synaptic Package Manager.
[10:49] <mimi_working> Thanks for everything everyone
[10:49] <nickrud> gilprice, evince
[10:49] <Inazad> mwe, can you tell me what I have to do
[10:49] <gilprice> Thanks...
[10:49] <mwe> Inazad: I recommend you read what gnomefreak pointed you to or google "grub splash"
[10:49] <gnomefreak> gilprice: join #ubuntu+1 for dapper please
[10:49] <Inazad> mwe, ok
[10:49] <gilprice> On my way there, thanks...
[10:49] <gnomnain> good niht
[10:50] <mwe> Inazad: the hard part is getting a suitable image, and it's not that hard
[10:50] <abc123> when is the next version of ubuntu releasing officially ?
[10:51] <harold> June 1st
[10:51] <NickGarvey> !dapper
[10:51] <ubotu> **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install,  or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until then
[10:51] <jimminy> Hi, I'm worried that after an install of Dapper, there is not enough information available to the user (ie onlie help) to get an Internet connection up. I would think this is rather important as getting connected to the net would be one of the first things a user does, in order to get support and install software... Is there anything I can do to try to get this information into Dapper beffore relese ? At least could anyone point me to a mail
[10:51] <jimminy> ing list/forum where I could bring this point up (sorry I'm not otherwise familiar with Ubuntu, I use Gentoo but install ubunt for my friends) ? Thanks !
[10:51] <abc123> thanks
[10:51] <gnomefreak> mwe: apot-get install grub-splashimages  i think is the name of it ;)
[10:51] <gnomefreak> apt*
[10:51] <Techno_2> Hello
[10:51] <NickGarvey> jimminy: and that is why live cds were invented ;)
[10:51] <gnomefreak> jimminy: are you using dapper?
[10:51] <mwe> gnomefreak: ok. I didn't know there was a package even
[10:52] <gnomefreak> jimminy: join #ubuntu+1 for anything related to dapper
[10:52] <abc123> !dapper
[10:52] <ubotu> **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install,  or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until then
[10:52] <gnomefreak> mwe: is in dapper think in breezy too
[10:52] <jimminy> NickGarvey : sorry, I don't understand... what is why livecd's were invented ?
[10:52] <harold> !dapper
[10:52] <NickGarvey> jimminy: use a live cd to get things working once and write down what you do
[10:53] <jimminy> gnomefreak : thanks, I'll go there, I'm not using dapper, but i'm wanting to add information to it...
[10:53] <Techno_2> Umm, can someone briefly go over what recompiling the kernel is about. All I want to do is add in a patch, but it's proving to be very confusing :S
[10:54] <mwe> Techno_2: it's pretty hard the first time
[10:54] <EmxBA> gnomefreak: it still gasn't done
[10:54] <EmxBA> *hasn't
[10:54] <mwe> Techno_2: I suggest you read a howto
[10:55] <Techno_2> I've done it in mandrake before, but I can't seem to get the make command working and being a newb don't really have a clue how the kernal interacts with the system (Or whether it is nessasary to know)
[10:55] <jimminy> NickGarvey : Yes, they're very useful for that. I'm not sure if I was very clear though, I want to contribute to dapper so that it contains documentation for getting users connected to Internet
[10:55] <mwe> Techno_2: you have to get the kernel source code, patch it. then configure and build it, put the image in place and point menu.lst to it
[10:55] <Atech> Guys I get no sound when I try to run applications
[10:55] <NickGarvey> jimminy: oh!  I'm sorry!  I'd check the wiki pages before you  write something up and find someone beat you too it ;)
[10:55] <Atech> how can I fix this
[10:56] <Techno_2> mwe: Ok thanks, that seems logical enough
[10:56] <dauoalagio> how would i install a sound driver?
[10:56] <mwe> Techno_2: it's not for the faint of heart
[10:57] <Atech> Why doesn't sound work in other applications?
[10:57] <harold> Your sound device is in use by something else.
[10:57] <Atech> ok
[10:57] <EmxBA> Blissex: now i have added Debian DVD. But i  type apt-get install -f and it againg needs to download ~40 MB, but I'm pretty sure that all those packages are on Debian DVD...what to do???
[10:57] <Atech> how can I make it so that it can be multiused?
[10:57] <Techno_2> mwe: I like a challange (And don't mind having to reisntall linux if I break it)
[10:58] <Blissex> EmxBA: evidently there are newer versions of packages online than on the DVD...
[10:58] <mwe> Techno_2: you wont have to reinstall. you can always boot the old kernel
[10:58] <harold> What apps are you using? You can't use different types like alsa and esd at the same time, as far as I know.
[10:58] <NickGarvey> !native
[10:58] <ubotu> NickGarvey: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[10:58] <Atech> harold I have no clue. It's just the programs like ET and stuff don't play sound
[10:58] <Blissex> EmxBA: what you can do is to comment out the network-based repositories in '/etc/apt/sources.list'
[10:59] <EmxBA> Blissex: OK, i'll try that
[10:59] <Atech> but XMMS plays sound
[10:59] <Blissex> EmxBA: note that I am still assuming that you know exactly what you are doing and the likely consequences...
[10:59] <jimminy> NickGarvey : I've been hacking on the wiki for 2 days, there was not very much info, especialy on ADSL USB modems ; there is still a lot missing, i've only managed to scrape one adsl USB modem for testing so far... but am hoping to have a few in the next days, to test the howtos. I think this information would be very useful on the CD though, as it seemed a little daft to provide a web link for the info in connectiong to the net...
[10:59] <EmxBA> Blissex: don't worry
[11:00] <NickGarvey> jimminy: ;) yeah I agree
[11:00] <Techno_2> Is it me or are the repositorys down?
[11:00] <NickGarvey> Techno_2: lemme check, I updated like 5 min ago I think
[11:00] <mwe> Techno_2: works here
[11:00] <mcphail> Techno_2: dapper repos seem ok
[11:00] <NickGarvey> Techno_2: breezy is good
[11:00] <mwe> Techno_2: using archive.ubuntu.com ?
[11:01] <magical_trevsky> hi, does anyone know how to change the owner's name on ubuntu (that you put in during installation) from the command line.. is it just stored in a file somewhere?
[11:01] <Techno_2> http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[11:01] <Atech> harold: what can fix this?
[11:01] <Techno_2> I believe so mwe
[11:01] <mwe> Techno_2: I'd remove the gb. part
[11:01] <NickGarvey> magical_trevsky: owners name?
[11:01] <Techno_2> ok dokey
[11:01] <mwe> Techno_2: that makes sure you get to a good mirror
[11:02] <magical_trevsky> NickGarvey, the bit  where you put in your full name before choosing the username
[11:02] <harold> Atech: you need to set your other applications to use the same sound device, so if XMMS is using ALSA, set others to use ALSA.
[11:02] <mcphail> This Xgl thing is rather a laugh, isn't it?
[11:02] <nimrod> hello, i just started using kubuntu, anyway to make the input local show on taskbar like gnome does?
[11:03] <Techno_2> I'm guessing "gb" means great britian. Why is it that UK FTP servers always seem to nto work compared ot european ones :S
[11:03] <Techno_2> Or is that just me?
[11:03] <ZhayTee> Moses_, be quiet.
[11:03] <Moses_> Kubuntu anyway to.
[11:03] <mwe> Techno_2: for your kernel compilation step one is getting the kernel source. you can start with the ubuntu kernel sources or the vanilla kernel from kernel.org. I got it from kernel.org
[11:03] <jimminy> NickGarvey : do ypu know which forum / mailing list etc. I could bring this point up on please ?
[11:03] <mwe> Techno_2: us. is also broken from time to time
[11:03] <Atech> harold: now how would you do that? in the terminal?
[11:04] <mwe> Techno_2: just using archive.ubuntu.com seems to be a good solution
[11:04] <NickGarvey> jimminy: I am definitely not the person to ask, sorry about that
[11:04] <Techno_2> mwe: Well there's a nice kernel source option in synaptic package manager, I thought I'd go for that
[11:04] <Techno_2> But I am temtped by the vanilla one
[11:05] <harold> Atech: The option is usually in the preferences area of most of your apps.
[11:05] <mwe> Techno_2: there is no guarantee that your patch will apply on top of the ubuntu patches but you can try
[11:05] <mwe> Techno_2: what patch is it?
[11:05] <Techno_2> Suspend 2, to enable hibernatign abilities
[11:05] <Techno_2> hibernating*
[11:06] <mwe> Techno_2: I don't think that will apply to anything but vanilla
[11:06] <harold> Atech: alternatively, you can force the application to use a sound device by running it from command line. I'm not quite sure how that works, though.
[11:06] <mwe> Techno_2: it pathes a lot of files. I'm using it myself
[11:06] <Techno_2> I ran the script, and it told me I had to now recompile my kernel
[11:06] <mwe> Techno_2: yes, you do
[11:07] <deadcake> excuse me, i want to reinstall windows on a my free partition but i will lost the bootloader what can i do to preserve the bootloader after the windows installation?
[11:07] <Techno_2> Ah, so may I skip the source bit :P
[11:07] <mwe> Techno_2: no
[11:07] <mwe> Techno_2: :|
[11:07] <Techno_2> hehe
[11:07] <mwe> Techno_2: I'm using a custom kernel as well
[11:07] <Techno_2> Vanilla it is!
[11:08] <perpetualrabbit> does anyone here have tried debootstrap with dapper?
[11:08] <mwe> Techno_2: configuring it is the hard part
[11:08] <crimsun> perpetualrabbit: while in dapper or !dapper?
[11:08] <harold> deadcake: I have a link that could help you. It's in my bookmarks, so give me a second to find it.
[11:08] <deadcake> thanks h
[11:08] <perpetualrabbit> I'm trying to install ubuntu in a chroot, but the base-config script no longer works.
[11:09] <ompaul> !dapper
[11:09] <ubotu> **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install,  or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until then
[11:09] <perpetualrabbit> What is the replacement for it?
[11:09] <Techno_2> You people are much more friendly than the people of a mandrake channel I went to to get help
[11:09] <mwe> Techno_2: you have to know your hardware well and if you don't know whether to compile a specific driver or not, compile it as a module
[11:09] <perpetualrabbit> crimsun, does not matter
[11:09] <harold> deacake: Here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[11:10] <mwe> Techno_2: you can get banned for beeing too unfriendly in here :)
[11:10] <dumezil> how do i change my screen resolution?  i know my monitor and graphics card supports higher than 1024x768, but system->preferences->screen resolution only shows 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768...
[11:10] <Techno_2> mwe: As it should be :)
[11:10] <jimminy> NickGarve : nopb, thanks all the same. I've been given a hand in #ubuntu+1 :) Seems like it's too late to get anything in to dapper though
[11:10] <perpetualrabbit> It could be in a chroot on whatever else linux installation, in my case breezy, but could be gentoo or redhat.
[11:10] <crimsun> perpetualrabbit: sure it matters, because the debootstrap packages differ between !dapper and dapper.
[11:11] <mwe> Techno_2: well go to kernel.org and download the full sources of 2.6.16.18 or whatever the latest patch level is
[11:11] <perpetualrabbit> crimsun, oh, I wasn't aware of that.
[11:12] <perpetualrabbit> I downloaded the debootstrap 0.3.0.3 or 3.0.3 or something like that. What is !dapper? dapper beta I suppose?
[11:12] <mwe> Techno_2: it can take some time to configure and compile it. you have been warned :)
[11:13] <crimsun> perpetualrabbit: 0.3.3.0ubuntu2?
[11:13] <Techno_2> mwe: Thank you for your help
[11:13] <Tylerofl> does anyone know of midi editing software that works on ubuntu?
[11:13] <Techno_2> I've fallen in love with kubuntu
[11:13] <perpetualrabbit> Anyway, my question is: base-config was removed, what has replaced it? 0.3.3ubuntu2, yes.
[11:13] <Tylerofl> with a staff view interface
[11:13] <mwe> Techno_2: I can't guarantee I can stay to help you all the way but I can help you get started at least
[11:14] <Techno_2> Cheers :)  I've found a how to, so if I am started I should be able to work the rest
[11:14] <crimsun> perpetualrabbit: what's(re) the precise error message(s)?
[11:15] <perpetualrabbit> My current problem is, I run debootstrap, and I get a base system that is not configured, and I have no idea what to configure by hand. For instance shadow file is missing, but that may be just one thing out of a hundred?
[11:15] <mwe> Techno_2: I'd start out with the config from the current ubuntu kernel and copy it to .config and do a make oldconfig
[11:15] <mwe> Techno_2: that should be a solid base for a make menuconfig
[11:15] <rredd4> installing breezy, the installer says that the mount point is   /media/hda5   is this correct?
[11:16] <rredd4> thought is should be root
[11:16] <perpetualrabbit> crimsun, so there is no specific error message, it's just that the complete configuration that base-config used to do, has now to be done by hand...
[11:16] <mwe> rredd4: it depends on your partitioning
[11:16] <rredd4> mwe I had debian on here, its mount point was root
[11:17] <mwe> rredd4: well the root partition should be mounted as / of course
[11:17] <perpetualrabbit> crimsun, I want to install images on a server, from where I want to rsync them to machines that are to be installed.
[11:17] <eric> testing
[11:17] <ompaul> rredd4, ehh default is to match / to the first partition you give it and if you calling it root is confusing given the user and the /root/ etc
[11:18] <zimnyx> hi
[11:18] <zimnyx> I wonder whether to install Sid/Etch or Ubuntu. I've been using debian for 4 yrs. What is your advise? What i mostly miss in debian is new version of software.
[11:18] <rredd4> hda1 is ntfs, hda5 is sarge (which is going to be breezy)
[11:18] <Techno_2> Where might I find the config file :P
[11:18] <mwe> Techno_2: /boot
[11:18] <Techno_2> Cheers
[11:18] <pez> how do i change my screen resolution to a higher one?
[11:18] <ompaul> !resolution
[11:18] <ubotu> from memory, resolution is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:18] <mwe> Techno_2: you should dl the kernel sources and extract it to /usr/src
[11:19] <mwe> Techno_2: you probably need a root prompt for that. sudo -i
[11:20] <zero_analog> I'm having a hard time installing the beta of 6.06, step 6 of 6 of the installer is longer than my screen with no scroll bar -- my screen is capable of 1600x1200, but I can only get the resolution to 1024x768 (both from gnome and xorg.conf).
[11:20] <zero_analog> *step 6 is where it prompts for mount points and formatting, I can't see the next buttons at all -- Is this a known bug, have other people found ways around it?
[11:20] <Techno_2> mwe: I am tempted to login as root
[11:20] <ompaul> !root
[11:20] <ubotu> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[11:21] <ompaul> Techno_2, don't do it for a week and you will be addicted
[11:21] <crimsun> perpetualrabbit: sec, at work, attempting to reproduce
[11:21] <mwe> Techno_2: well sudo -i and root login both give you a root prompt.
[11:22] <EmxBA> Blessix: thanks very much...I am currently fixing these broken packages with Debian DVD
[11:22] <Techno_2> True, I just want to use konqueror to do the job :P
[11:22] <mwe> Techno_2: you can't anyway
[11:22] <Techno_2> No
[11:22] <mwe> Techno_2: you need to make symlinks and stuff
[11:22] <EmxBA> I promise that i will never again try to install Debian packages on ubuntu
[11:22] <mwe> Techno_2: I don't think konq can do that
[11:22] <EmxBA> especially not from Debian DVD
[11:22] <EmxBA> :D
[11:22] <Techno_2> I have the source!
[11:23] <Abo> is there a way I can get Google Desktop (or something similar) on ubuntu
[11:23] <mwe> Techno_2: however alt-f2 then kdesu konqueror will give you a konq with root privs
[11:23] <mwe> Techno_2: I don't recommend it though
[11:23] <moo-min> hi all
[11:24] <rredd4> zero, push enter
[11:24] <rredd4> key to see mount points
[11:25] <Some_Person> How can I autologin as root?
[11:25] <Techno_2> Ok that was strange :S
[11:25] <mwe> Techno_2: what was?
[11:26] <Techno_2> Darn :S
[11:26] <Some_Person> Hello?
[11:26] <Techno_2> I downlaoded the source
[11:26] <mwe> yes
[11:26] <mwe> that's not strange :)
[11:26] <Techno_2> It doesn't want to extract :P
[11:26] <Some_Person> How can I autologin as root?
[11:26] <Techno_2> And when i tried it logged me out
[11:26] <mwe> Techno_2: hwo are you trying?
[11:26] <void^> Some_Person: you are kidding, right?
[11:26] <mwe> huh?
[11:26] <mwe> it logged you out?
[11:26] <Techno_2> Yeah
[11:27] <Some_Person> i'm not kidding
[11:27] <mwe> what did you do?
[11:27] <NoUse> Some_Person you don't
[11:27] <Some_Person> Why not?
[11:27] <Techno_2> I don't think I hit alt+ctrl+bksp, but I must have
[11:27] <void^> Some_Person: why are you trying to shoot yourself?
[11:27] <ompaul> Some_Person, you don't want do to that, so I will say to you don't do that and there ya go
[11:27] <mwe> Techno_2: how did you try extracting it?
[11:27] <NoUse> Some_Person its a horrible idea, not safe, insecure
[11:27] <Techno_2> I tried to drag some fiels from an archiver program :P
[11:27] <mwe> Techno_2: hey use the terminal
[11:27] <Some_Person> I want to do that because I can only write to hda3 as root (can you fix that?)
[11:27] <ompaul> Some_Person, now your getting sense
[11:27] <Some_Person> hda3 is fat32
[11:28] <Techno_2> Looks like the terminal si my new best friend
[11:28] <ompaul> !fat32
[11:28] <ubotu> Download and run http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter to make your windows or mac partitions mount automatically.  If you wish to set it up yourself by hand, read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[11:28] <ompaul> Some_Person, ^^^
[11:28] <mwe> Techno_2: open a terminal and type sudo -i. then cd /usr/src. then tar jxvf /path/to/linux-2.6.16.x.tar.bz2
[11:28] <Some_Person> it mounts automaticly already
[11:28] <Some_Person> problem is, i can only write to it as root
[11:28] <EmxBA> Blissex: just a tip: when you uncomment previously commented network repositories you must run apt-get update again
[11:28] <ompaul> Some_Person, just a moment I am not a windows user
[11:28] <mwe> Techno_2: the tab key will help you complete path and file names
[11:29] <ompaul> Some_Person, but I will have an answer for you
[11:29] <void^> Some_Person: read that link, or add either a "user" or "umask" option manually (see man mount)
[11:29] <sas171> hi, can you help me, I just accedently removed my /etc/udev/rules/60-symlinks.rules on dapper. What was in it? Can postebin your copy?
[11:29] <Some_Person> man mount?
[11:30] <Some_Person> whats that?
[11:30] <mwe> sas171: that's bad
[11:30] <mwe> sas171: you _need_ that file
[11:30] <sas171> mwe =(((
[11:30] <mwe> sas171: pm me your email and I'll send it to you
[11:30] <mwe> sas171: or reinstall udev
[11:30] <NoUse> Some_Person man mount is the documentation for the mount program
[11:31] <Some_Person> I want to use hda3 as a transfer partition between ubuntu and windows
[11:31] <sas171> mwe: how can I reinstall udev?
[11:31] <mwe> sas171: sudo apt-get install --reinstall udev
[11:31] <moo-min> how's minimal ubuntu install for detecting onboard ethrnet hardware
[11:31] <sas171> oh, thx
[11:31] <Techno_2> mwe: It's a gz type, not a bz w/e
[11:31] <Tidus> Some_Person: you're gonna have to format it FAT32 if you wanna do that.
[11:31] <mwe> Techno_2: oh. then tar zxvf instead of jxvf
[11:31] <Some_Person> it already is fat32
[11:31] <Techno_2> Ah found it
[11:31] <Techno_2> oh nm :P
[11:31] <NoUse> Some_Person run this: "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[11:31] <mwe> Techno_2: what is the file name and how big is it?
[11:31] <EmxBA> Blissex?
[11:31] <NoUse> Some_Person tell me when it opens
[11:31] <Some_Person> in windows, it is drive F, in ubuntu, it is drive hda3
[11:32] <mwe> Techno_2: it should be 40MB+
[11:32] <Techno_2> linux-2.6.16.18.tar.gz 48.8 MB :)
[11:32] <mwe> Techno_2: good
[11:32] <Techno_2> Weee
[11:32] <cvasilak> hi there, what is the name of the package for the nvidia-kernel SMP version
[11:32] <mwe> Techno_2: sudo -i then cd /usr/src
[11:32] <Techno_2> Yeap
[11:32] <Techno_2> Already there
[11:32] <Techno_2> Extracted
[11:32] <mwe> Techno_2: then tar zxvf /path/to/linux-2.6.16.8.tar.gz
[11:33] <Techno_2> Done :D
[11:33] <ompaul> Some_Person, you need this in your /etc/fstab for that line >>>  vfat umask=000
[11:33] <mwe> Techno_2: good
[11:33] <mwe> Techno_2: in /usr/src?
[11:33] <Techno_2> Yes :P
[11:33] <Techno_2> I think
[11:33] <sas171> mwe: ok i did it, if I reboot now, will Im able to boot in GNOME again?
[11:33] <mwe> Techno_2: now ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.18 /usr/src/linux
[11:33] <Techno_2> Yeap, it's there looking pretty
[11:34] <mwe> Techno_2: then chown -R root:root /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.18
[11:34] <Techno_2> What do these two commands do
[11:34] <mwe> sas171: make sure the file got restored
[11:34] <mwe> Techno_2: make a symlink and change owner to root
[11:34] <ompaul> Techno_2, please do not press enter after one or two words get your whole thought onto the one line
[11:35] <mwe> Techno_2: by default owner is somthing weird
[11:35] <eshowl> can anyone help me with OpenGL problem?
[11:35] <sas171> mwe: shit, it isnt
[11:35] <mwe> Techno_2: and /usr/src/linux should always point to the current kernel source tree
[11:35] <mwe> sas171: odd
[11:36] <Techno_2> ompaul: Sorry
[11:36] <mwe> shouldn't apt-get install --reinstall foobar reinstall foobar and all of it's files?
[11:36] <ompaul> Techno_2, now ya know ;-)
[11:37] <Seveas> mwe, no
[11:37] <mwe> Seveas: oh
[11:37] <Seveas> configuration files are kept
[11:37] <mwe> Seveas: how then?
[11:37] <Techno_2> mwe: Ah it creates a shortcut I see. I think I'll look up the chown command
[11:37] <mcphail> Don't you ned to --purge?
[11:37] <damage1> Hi all
[11:37] <mwe> Seveas: somone deleted an important config file
[11:37] <ompaul> mwe you must use the purge, feel the --purge
[11:37] <Seveas> if you want to renew configuration: dpkg -P --force-depends $package followed bu apt-get install
[11:37] <EmxBA> damage1: hi!
[11:37] <damage1> hi dude
[11:38] <nitrorxn> hi, I am new to Ubuntu and after installing it won't boot up. I'm using LILO and I select my partition and it starts booting (sees CPU, USB, DVD, etc) but then I get the following errors:
[11:38] <ompaul> Seveas, that is now a factoid :-)
[11:38] <nitrorxn>  ... some stuff....
[11:38] <nitrorxn> Cannot read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
[11:38] <nitrorxn>  .. some stuff....
[11:38] <nitrorxn> mount: Mounting /root/dev on /dev/.static/dev failed: No such file or directory
[11:38] <nitrorxn> mount: Mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or direcotry
[11:38] <nitrorxn> Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init
[11:38] <mwe> Seveas: is that safe when we're talking about udev?
[11:38] <Seveas> mwe, not at all
[11:38] <mwe> Seveas: I thought it wasn't :|
[11:38] <Techno_2> mwe: Ok I've finished extracting etc, I'm goign to write these commands down and learn about them
[11:39] <mwe> sas171: well give your email and I'll send it to you
[11:39] <Hexidigital_> are Vino and SSH able to be run simultaneously?
[11:39] <sas171> mwe: i queried it to you allready
[11:39] <mwe> Techno_2: yeah. next you should copy /boot/config-whateveryourcurrentkernelis /usr/src/linux/.config
[11:39] <Hexidigital_> (i'm getting a connection refused error with one or the other, depending on what i'm logged in as)
[11:40] <mcphail> mwe: can't you just pull the conf file from the .deb archive?
[11:40] <mwe> sas171: I didnt get it
[11:40] <mwe> sas171: are you registered?
[11:40] <Juhaz> Hexidigital_, sure they are.
[11:40] <Hexidigital_> Juhaz:: thanks... i must be doing something wrong
[11:40] <mwe> mcphail: good idea
[11:40] <Mysta_> hello, how do I perform stress test on my newly configured ubuntu server? i want to make sure it is stable, is this possible?
[11:41] <Seveas> mwe, dpkg-deb -x ;)
[11:41] <Hexidigital_> Juhaz:: when i had vino running on my server (which i just logged out of), i wasn't able to ssh into it
[11:41] <Seveas> mwe, dpkg-reconfigure may help too
[11:42] <mwe> yes
[11:43] <Techno_2> mwe: The .config directory doesn't exist, should it be there or am I expected to create it
[11:43] <racestoapril1> is it true that in newer versions of ubuntu ipod mounting and syncing is as easy as plug and play?
[11:43] <mwe> Techno_2: it should be a file and not exist already
[11:43] <mwe> Techno_2: don't you have /boot/config-something?
[11:44] <Techno_2> Yes, I have that part :)
[11:44] <mwe> Techno_2: good. cp /boot/config-something /usr/src/linux/.config
[11:44] <mwe> Techno_2: it will copy the file to that name
[11:44] <Techno_2> Oh sorry
[11:44] <EmxBA> !bootsplash
[11:44] <ubotu> EmxBA: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[11:44] <kspath> Mysta_: sudo apt-cache search stress test    also search for bonnie and sysstat
[11:44] <Techno_2> I thought you meant copy it into a directory called .config
[11:45] <mwe> Techno_2: that is /boot/config-something being the same as /usr/src/linux/.config
[11:45] <eshowl> hi everyone, i am trying to install DRI driver for Intel 855GME, does anyone has any idea how i can do it?
[11:45] <mwe> Techno_2: yes
[11:45] <admiral_proFTW> whats a good program to take an audio track from an mpg video
[11:45] <bit_doidao> Does any body knows a better OS than Ubuntu? I doubt!
[11:45] <sas171> mwe: did you get my private messages?
[11:45] <Techno_2> Right done :)
[11:46] <mcphail> admiral_proFTW: mplayer
[11:46] <mwe> sas171: no. I send you a query though. are you registered?
[11:46] <bit_doidao> Ubuntu dapper is gonna own the role world!
[11:46] <sas171> mwe, sorry. can you past the content of the file on pastebin please
[11:46] <mwe> Techno_2: good. now apply the pathes. have you downloaded them?
[11:46] <admiral_proFTW> mcphail: can mplayer let me take the audio track from a video?
[11:46] <bit_doidao> The edgy is gonna be used even by marcians!
[11:46] <mcphail> admiral_proFTW: yes, and dump it to a .wav file
[11:47] <mwe> Techno_2: and extracted them too?
[11:47] <Techno_2> Yes,, I downloaded them, I'll extract them and apply them
[11:47] <mwe> sas171: you can't pm unless you're registered I think
[11:47] <admiral_proFTW> mcphail: let me try it out
[11:47] <eshowl> can anyone explain me what is xorg??
[11:47] <mwe> sas171: just /j #mwe
[11:48] <mwe> sas171: ok
[11:48] <EmxBA> bit_doidao: Ubuntu really rocks, maybe reall Debian is just better
[11:48] <mwe> sas171: I'll put it to pastebin
[11:48] <NoUse> eshowl xorg is the system that Linux uses to display graphics, Desktops like gnome and KDE connect to it to display their windows etc
[11:49] <mcphail> admiral_proFTW: mplayer _file_ -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm
[11:49] <bit_doidao> EmxBA, Hummm, for desktop, i don know. Maybe for servers, debian rocks.
[11:49] <mcphail> admiral_proFTW: (i think...)
[11:49] <Mysta_> has anyone ever used the siege package?
[11:49] <eshowl> NoUse, oh i see, i am trying to install some games on my ubuntu but it every game tells me that i need video driver and i am using intel 855GME, do you have anyidea what i should do?
[11:49] <EmxBA> bit_doidao: yeah, for servers. But for human beings, Ubuntu rocks :D
[11:49] <Hexidigital_> bit_doidao:: i use Ubuntu as desktop on my laptop (which outperforms M$), and on my server... no problems
[11:50] <Mysta_> Hexidigital_: what do you run on your server
[11:50] <bit_doidao> Hexidigital_, me too. i first tried the debian on a server, but the samba from debian sarge doesnt allow mac osx connections, so i installed ubuntu
[11:50] <Hexidigital_> Mysta_:: ubuntu 6.06 (or did you mean what kind of server?)
[11:51] <NoUse> eshowl I'm not familiar with that card, you might try searching/posting in ubuntuforums.org
[11:51] <bit_doidao> does anyone knoes how to put gnome to controle the keyboards?
[11:51] <eshowl> NoUse: and now i am at Synaptic Package Manager and selecting xorg-common to install and it shows a long long list of programs that i need to remove, why is it?
[11:51] <Hexidigital_> Mysta_:: web/ftp server
[11:51] <Techno_2> mwe: I know this soudns stupid, but how do I get the tar command to work with patch-2.6.16.18.bz2?
[11:51] <eshowl> NoUse: Do I need to install it? or that's something i do not need?
[11:51] <NoUse> eshowl try installing, xserver-xorg
[11:51] <NoUse> eshowl that should be all you need
[11:52] <Mysta_> Hexidigital_: yea i meant what kind, i assume ubuntu ;)
[11:52] <eshowl> NoUse: OK :D
[11:52] <Hexidigital_> Mysta_:: i also keep all of my school work on my server, so i can ssh in from school to xfer what i need to my laptop
[11:52] <mwe> Techno_2: tar jxvf
[11:52] <Mysta_> cool cool
[11:52] <mwe> Techno_2: what is that?
[11:52] <eshowl> NoUse: i already has xserver-xorg installed ...
[11:53] <mwe> Techno_2: the suspend2 patches?
[11:53] <Techno_2> mwe: That patches file?
[11:53] <Hexidigital_> "Ubuntu made my life easier..."  Hex, Scranton, PA, USA
[11:53] <Techno_2> No the kernel ones
[11:53] <Hexidigital_> you can quote that
[11:53] <Hexidigital_> :)
[11:53] <mwe> Techno_2: from www.suspend2.net?
[11:53] <Techno_2> No
[11:53] <Techno_2> From kernel.net
[11:53] <mwe> Techno_2: what then?
[11:53] <mwe> Techno_2: don't get that
[11:53] <Mysta_> is there something similar to google desktop for linux?
[11:53] <Techno_2> OOps
[11:53] <Techno_2> What are they anyway?
[11:53] <mwe> Techno_2: that for upgrading from another kernel
[11:53] <blaze> what should i install if i get this mistake: "checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.2) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
[11:53] <blaze> " when i use ./configure
[11:53] <Techno_2> Ah
[11:53] <mwe> Techno_2: delete that
[11:54] <Techno_2> Gone
[11:54] <mrDaniel> i have done 'apt-get install nvidia-glx', 'nvidia-glx-config enable' and 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg nv->nvidia' and set the nvidia-driver for my GeForce Go 7600, but the xerver don't work: API dismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0-7667, but this X module has the version 1.0-8762. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version
[11:54] <mwe> Techno_2: get the suspend2 patches. that's all you need
[11:54] <erUSUL> blaze: what are you trying to install? is not in the repos?
[11:54] <blaze> i want to install SIM
[11:54] <blaze> (like Gaim)
[11:54] <blaze> because in Gaim i can't read the away messages in Cyrillic
[11:54] <EmxBA> mrDaniel: try ubuntu-xgl channel for xgl
[11:54] <NoUse> mrDaniel did you try installing via the installer from nvidia.com?
[11:54] <Seveas> blaze, libqt-mt3-dev
[11:54] <EmxBA> oh, sorry, that is glx
[11:55] <blaze> (that are in cyrillic)
[11:55] <mrDaniel> ok, thank you
[11:55] <EmxBA> not xgl
[11:55] <Abo> where can I find a document about installing and configuring svn on ubuntu??
[11:55] <blaze> Seveas, second to check if i have it or not :)
[11:55] <Seveas> Abo, sudo apt-get install subversion
[11:55] <NoUse> eshowl yeah, you just need the driver for your vid card, look around ubuntu forums
[11:55] <mrDaniel> yes, with the installer
[11:55] <EmxBA> !mp3 codec
[11:55] <ubotu> I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, EmxBA
[11:55] <SopWATh> I just installed a dapperdrake LAMP system, do I need to do the "./bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql" thing as listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP?highlight=%28mysql%29
[11:55] <rab> can someone help me set up my server
[11:55] <NoUse> mrDaniel run the uninstaller for that package, otherwise you'll keep getting that message
[11:56] <EmxBA> will Ubotu find anything?
[11:56] <blaze> Seveas, i have libqt3-mt-dev
[11:56] <blaze> but still not working
[11:56] <blaze> i've got all libqt3- stuff installed
[11:56] <blaze> and libqt4
[11:56] <Hexidigital_> blaze:: did you do a 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-{uname -r}'  (without quotes, and replace {uname -r} with output from terminal)
[11:57] <rab> can i install things through ssh
[11:57] <blaze> Hexidigital_, no
[11:57] <Jowi> rab: what kind of server? very good apache and ftp server setup wikis are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com
[11:57] <mrDaniel> ok, i will try the uninstaller. and what i have to do than?
[11:57] <SopWATh> rab: yes, you have to install the openssh-server first
[11:57] <Hexidigital_> blaze:: that will install your headers
 OK, i had been searching it for days @@
[11:57] <Techno_2> mwe: Yay, I managed to work otu hwo to use a command line heh
[11:57] <mwe> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) should work literally
[11:57] <Mysta_> is it possible to start multiple X sessions remotely? lets say i want 4 users to connect to a ubuntu box, how is that done?
[11:57] <blaze> and what do you mean by "output"
[11:57] <NoUse> mrDaniel re-run the installer from the wiki and it should work
[11:58] <blaze> i've pasted what error i get
[11:58] <rab> jowi, i just installed ubuntu as a base server on my box, now i want to intall apache php and mysql. I want to know if i can do it through ssh
[11:58] <blaze> what should i replace {uname -r} with?
[11:58] <mrDaniel> 'installer from the wiki', which wiki you mean?
[11:58] <NoUse> eshowl sorry I can't be of more help, never dealt with Intell graphics :-(
[11:58] <Abo> Seveas, I did this first thing ;) I was searching to see how to configure it, I found this it seems helpfull http://wiki.debian.org/?SubversionApache2SSLHowto
[11:58] <SopWATh> rab: you can install almost anything via apt-get
[11:58] <blaze> Hexidigital_,
[11:58] <mwe> Techno_2: well it can be very powerful
[11:58] <blaze> ?
[11:58] <Jowi> rab: you can absolutely do it through ssh. no probs. i administer several machines that way.
[11:58] <SopWATh> I just installed a dapperdrake LAMP system, do I need to do the "./bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql" thing as listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP?highlight=%28mysql%29
[11:58] <eshowl> NoUse, it's ok, thanks for your help!!
[11:58] <Techno_2> Woo I patched it :D
[11:58] <Jowi> !ssh
[11:58] <ubotu> well, ssh is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdvancedOpenSSH
[11:59] <mwe> Techno_2: it said all happy?
[11:59] <rab> jowi, can i do root@blah and root pass ?
[11:59] <perpetualrabbit> crimsun, could you reproduce my "problem" (it's more an side effect of a change, not a bug)
[11:59] <Jowi> rab: if you set up the server that way. i use sudo all the way
[11:59] <rab> ah
[11:59] <rab> k
[11:59] <Techno_2> IT did ;)
[11:59] <crimsun> perpetualrabbit: as in the "missing" /etc/shadow?
[11:59] <mwe> Techno_2: you ran the apply script I take it?
[11:59] <eshowl> NoUse, does it looks like what i need? http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&Inst=Yes&ProductID=922&DwnldID=9722&strOSs=39&OSFullName=Linux*&lang=eng
[11:59] <Hexidigital_> blaze:: in your error, it said your headers were not installed
[12:00] <Techno_2> I did :)
[12:00] <mwe> Techno_2: now cd /usr/src/linux if you're not there and do a "make oldconfig" and tell me if you get errors
[12:00] <blaze> ok Hexidigital_ so.. i should install all QT3 headers, right?
[12:00] <mwe> Techno_2: if you're not missing build-essential it should work
[12:00] <Hexidigital_> blaze:: yes
[12:00] <Hexidigital_> blaze:: no
[12:01] <Hexidigital_> blaze:: just the one you need
[12:01] <Techno_2> mwe: Yes, it appears I need ot isntall the gcc compiler
[12:01] <Hexidigital_> uname -r in terminal, and look for that
[12:01] <mwe> Techno_2: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:01] <mwe> Techno_2: it will get some other stuff as well
[12:01] <Techno_2> Ah cool
[12:02] <blaze> i see :) 10x
[12:02] <dusty> Hey guys I have a wheel mouse and im wondering what I have to put under the mouse section of xorg.conf to make it work? Everything else works fine, apart from this?
[12:02] <perpetualrabbit> crimsun, yes, exactly. It is missing, because normally at that point you'd run base-config. But it has been replaced by pkgsel, I just heard, and I'm unsure what needs to be started to get a dialog, that then configures things like shadow passwords, timezones, library paths etc.
[12:02] <Abo> how can I find which process is binding the port 80 (I need to run appache server)
[12:03] <crimsun> perpetualrabbit: tzconfig, locale-gen, and so on
[12:03] <mwe> Abo: sudo netstat -ntlp
[12:03] <perpetualrabbit> abo, with netstat.
[12:03] <concept10> anyone know if there is a deb for VIM 7 or GVIM?
[12:03] <Hexidigital_> Abo:: there shouldn't be anything bound to 80... you can scan your server with network tools (in administration) to see if it is open
[12:03] <Hexidigital_> i retract my previous statement
[12:03] <mwe> concept10: I don't think there are any official ones at least
[12:04] <perpetualrabbit> crimsun, yes, but there seems to be no comprehensive installation guide a la gentoo, if you go the debootstrap way.
[12:04] <shannon> !dma
[12:04] <Techno_2> mwe: Do I want to automatically append version informatio nto the version string?
[12:04] <Abo> mwe, perpetualrabbit, Hexidigital, with netstat I can see there is something in the State:Listen on the port 80, but how can I tell which process is it?
[12:04] <mwe> Techno_2: no
[12:04] <Hexidigital_> Abo:: do you have apache 1.3 installed?
[12:04] <perpetualrabbit> crimsun, if I follow the normal installer, it's easy enough, but I want to install within a chroot, on a server, to prepare images for workstations
[12:05] <mwe> Techno_2: just accept the default with enter for now. you'll do a make menuconfig afterwards
[12:05] <kspath> Abo: netstat , fuser, lsof
[12:05] <dusty> Anyone?
[12:05] <Abo> I just did apt-get install apache2, would that run the server as well?
[12:05] <perpetualrabbit> Abo, yes
[12:05] <Techno_2> mwe: I can see why
[12:05] <Hexidigital_> Abo:: type 127.0.0.1 in your web browser, see if something comes up
[12:06] <Abo> oh ... ps -auxww | grep apache shows it's running ... thank you (sorry of that)
[12:06] <Techno_2> Oh dear, menu config failed :S
[12:06] <Hexidigital_> Abo:: enjoy :)
[12:06] <james_xxx> can anyone recommend a g-band USB wireless adapter that works well with ubuntu/kubuntu. i have a linksys wusb54gs, but cannot get it to work.
[12:06] <mwe> Techno_2: you probably need libncurses5-dev
