[06:08] <LjL> pmorrison: seems to me that the output highlights no particular culprit... you might try asking in #winehq (although i think they require you to install the official version of Wine from WineHQ, not the Ubuntu one, there)
[06:08] <mrs> sgtmattbaker: do you use compiz?
[06:08] <LjL> !wine > pmorrison    (pmorrison, see the private message from Ubotu)
[06:08] <topyli> sgtmattbaker: side? do you want it on the left end of your panel?
[06:08] <Toma-> Whitor: you can only assume so. this user has 351 beans, so theyre a regular contributor to the forums
[06:08] <gils> ok i got a question about hebrew support
[06:09] <bongo> Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) will receive the standard 18 months of maintenance, so its end-of-life will be June 2009
[06:09] <bongo> is this correct?
[06:09] <sgtmattbaker> I use gnome and I jsut want the desktp switcher bigger so I can actualy move windows from one to another
[06:09] <bongo> or are these dates invalid?
[06:09] <Whitor> thanks for the explanation Toma- !
[06:09] <Toma-> Whitor: no probs!
[06:09] <topyli> bongo: no that's obviously wrong
[06:09] <Toma-> pmorrison: what program are you trying to run?
[06:09] <darknezzspace> show workspace names on the switcher?
[06:09] <bongo> topyli: obviously ?
[06:10] <Killers2> Well i got a problem i think its the graphics card but im not sure Ubuntu crashed and when i restarted the pc their is white line all over the screen in the bios in ubuntu  and windows i also tried the screen and cable on another PC and the screen works fine
[06:10] <bongo> how is that obviously, why cant I see it so obvisously?
[06:10] <topyli> bongo: there's more than 18 months to go until the end of 2009 even as we speak
[06:10] <lt> any ideas? its a RTL8185 card, worked until fiesty, i can modprobe -i r818x,  and i can see the wifi networks around me, and my own, but I cannot connect to them :(
[06:10] <sipior> Killers2: do you have an extra vide card laying around to try?
[06:10] <danshtr> hi all
[06:11] <Killers2> no i dont have a spare
[06:11] <Toma-> lt: whats your essid?
[06:11] <danshtr> got a problem with spell checkin in firefox
[06:11] <bongo> topyli: so do you have a link to an official ubuntu document stating the exact end date?
[06:11] <muuhBDXi> does the hebrew language writes from right to left just like arab ?
[06:11] <lt> THEHOUSE
[06:11] <danshtr> right click wont show suggestions
[06:11] <bongo> I need to do future planing on upgrades and need to document it well in advace and make sure I have downtime stated far in advance
[06:11] <Toma-> lt: run 'iwconfig' and tell me what essid is there
[06:11] <cberl1> sipior: Any magic SysReq keys that I should know to help diagnose?  When I lock up, I can generally use those keys, but don't know what to look for.
[06:11] <sipior> Killers2: can you put the card in another computer and se if it fails?
[06:12] <topyli> bongo: nope, but it's 18 months from the 10th month of 2006
[06:12] <slackern> !lts
[06:12] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[06:12] <Killers2> i havent got annother pc with PCI-E x16 i only got this laptop
[06:13] <lt> wow thats why? its the essid length?
[06:13] <Ginja_Ninja> does anybody here have a "core 2 duo" running 64bit ?
[06:13] <sipior> cberl1: look here for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key. frankly, though, it will be rough to debug this with the magic sysrqs
[06:13] <bongo> I wish I never made the complete mistake of using edgy as a server :)
[06:13] <Toma-> lt: its an r818x bug :( i have the same
[06:13] <mrs> Ginja_Ninja: me
[06:13] <bongo> such a stupid mistake wish I had used dapper
[06:13] <lt> ack!
[06:13] <Toma-> lt: just add an extra letter on the end of the ESSID when you set it
[06:13] <sipior> cberl1: try bumping the console log level to max. how long between crashes, typically?
[06:14] <lt> ah i c
[06:14] <Lukaaas> VAI A CACARE COGLIONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[06:14] <lt> ty toma
[06:14] <Ginja_Ninja> mrs: hi, have you had any problems atall, running it on a 32bit install atm
[06:14] <Toma-> lt: no probs
[06:14] <cberl1> sipior: Message and syslog logs don't seem to be telling me much at the time of lockup.  Still just "random" -- I cnan't pinpoint what's causing it.  How do I bump up log level?
[06:14] <Toma-> cberl1: have you got a wireless card?
[06:14] <sipior> cberl1: alt-sysrq-9
[06:14] <mrs> Ginja_Ninja: not at all... but i dont use wine atm, skype is running on 32bit and thats all!
[06:15] <lt> rofl i cant believe that
[06:15] <Killers2> ok i fixed the screen problem :)
[06:15] <biggie-> do I just go ahead and ask my question or is there some protocol?
[06:15] <cberl1> Toma-: Yes.  Atheros-based.  And currently physically turned off.
[06:15] <Toma-> lt: word of warning, the r818x module is very buggy with the -generic kernel. IF it locks up hard when you upload stuff, install the -386 kernel
[06:15] <velko> biggie-, you just ask
[06:15] <Toma-> cberl1: ok nm
[06:15] <Ginja_Ninja> mrs: thats great news. Can you see wine being a problem ?
[06:15] <lt> Toma- K
[06:15] <topyli> biggie ask away
[06:15] <kekos> helo everyone, I have a laptop toshiba with an ati x1400. I'm using ubuntu 7.04 and it has installed me the ATI resticted drivers
[06:15] <kekos> where can i find
[06:16] <pmorrison> LgL: Thanks for the wine help, I will check with winehq
[06:16] <lt> and one other question, what do i do to make it modprobe -i,  on boot?
[06:16] <cberl1> sipior: That just took 9 screenshots...  :)
[06:16] <kekos> open source drivers for my ati x1400?
[06:16] <mrs> Ginja_Ninja: you only need a 32bit chroot thats all ;)
[06:16] <cberl1> sipior: ctl-alt-sysreq?
[06:16] <ndee> hey there, I wanna cut some videos and make also notes in the video itself, is avidemux the right tool for that?
[06:16] <Fylk> So, new kernal is out.
[06:16] <sipior> cberl1: hmm..i wonder if gnome maps that sequence
[06:16] <mjr> kekos, there are none really available for radeons > x1000
[06:16] <Toma-> pmorrison: also check your application on http://appdb.winehq.org/
[06:16] <Ginja_Ninja> mrs: cool. Thats great. Thanks for your time
[06:16] <velko> Killers2, just out of curiosity - how do you fixed the problem?
[06:16] <DanaG> What would make a router refuse to issue an IP address to me, when I'm in Linux?
[06:16] <pmorrison> Toma: sorry, got busy. The program I am trying to run in Wine is Oncore by Decision Dynamics
[06:16] <bongo> is soebody able to explain what exactly kernel-patch-vserver is? is it just a patch for the current installed kernel to enable capablities in your kernel, etc?
[06:17] <bongo> and the ability to drive vservers?
[06:17] <cberl1> sipior: ctl-alt-sysreq-9 worked.
[06:17] <mjr> kekos, work is underway for 2d drivers, 3d will take long, vesa can do unaccelerated 2d now
[06:17] <Toma-> DanaG: its ignorant to linux :D what card do you have?
[06:17] <Killers2> Velko i fixed it by opening the pc up and taking the graphics card out then putting it back in
[06:17] <linkrjh> Question: I used the script the swiftfox page uses to install it, but it wont start up.  Says "starting" in it's icon, then it closes without actually showing anything other than a task bar icon saying starting.
[06:17] <velko> Killers2, ok :-)
[06:17] <kekos> so what can i do if i would like to install beryl? can I?
[06:17] <mrs> Ginja_Ninja: no problem, you cann probably run all 32bit progs in a 32bit chroot :D
[06:17] <pmorrison> Toma: and of course it is not listed
[06:17] <refefer> hello
[06:17] <Toma-> pmorrison: d'oh! :>
[06:17] <mrs> Ginja_Ninja: sorry i have to go afk ;)
[06:18] <biggie-> ok I'm trying to install from the live cd onto a usb hd (sdc) I tried to put grub onto sdc but it failed, the first time i installed grub nerfed my xp boot and gave me an error 49 (think didn't write it down) at anyrate i don't want grub to handle my xp boot, I want to use my bios boot selection to pick what os boots... any advice tips?
[06:18] <Ginja_Ninja> mrs thanks again
[06:18] <breaker27> anyone have a update link on installing XGL and Compiz?
[06:18] <MenZa> ndiswrapper won't load for me (on Edgy)
[06:18] <quiet> hrm... does anyone know of a gui ssh client for gnome(or X in general) similar to Putty, so that I can store the names and such of the various servers in a list?
[06:18] <cberl1> Okay, so I can check it next time I lock?  Seems to lock one process at a time.  First, I won't be able to start new processes, then the windows I give focus to stop responding.  I can ctl-alt-F1 to get to text mode, but then I can't login or do anything but view the sysreq stuff.
[06:18] <diminthedam> could someone recommend a GUI based web log analyzer please
[06:18] <breaker27> I am having alot of problems
[06:18] <MenZa> How do I start it manually?
[06:18] <pmorrison> Toma: Well I posted my error's to see if it was an easy fix, but doesn't look like it, so will try to get some help and do some more research. Cheers
[06:18] <kekos> can i install beryl with the propietary drivers???
[06:18] <MenZa> kekos: you need the proprietary drivers :P
[06:18] <darknezzspace> !beryl
[06:18] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[06:18] <idefixx> when i do 'iwlist scan' it tells me my card does not support scanning.. is there any other way to do that?
[06:18] <kekos> i already have them
[06:18] <DanaG> Oh, my NIC is Intel -- e1000.
[06:18] <darknezzspace> !automatix
[06:18] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a proprietary script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:18] <kekos> installed
[06:19] <DanaG> My router is Netgear RP614v2.
[06:19] <darknezzspace> i think beryl breaks more than automatix
[06:19] <kekos> can i install beryl with the propietary drivers???
[06:19] <Toma-> DanaG: check with 'iwconfig' that the essid is right
[06:19] <quiet> automatix is doing very nicely these days.
[06:19] <kekos> where can i find a tutorial?
[06:19] <sipior> cberl1: like i said, not the easiest way to debug this. you might try booting from a feisty install cd, and see if that doesn't eventually crash as well
[06:19] <MenZa> !beryl | kekos
[06:19] <ubotu> kekos: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[06:19] <DanaG> I blame the router, but I can't convince parents to buy a new router -- "If it works in Windows, then it's Linux that's broken."
[06:19] <DanaG> Oh yeah, and it
[06:19] <DanaG> it's wired.
[06:19] <Toma-> Oh.
[06:20] <Toma-> DanaG: dhcp?
[06:20] <danshtr> got a problem with spell checking in firefox: right click wont show suggestions
[06:20] <danshtr> anyone hete got such a problem?
[06:20] <cberl1> sipior:  that's an idea...  Maybe try that this afternoon.  There are some known Windows-based issues with this laptop, but I don't have Windows on it (except in VMWare) so I can't really test if that's the issue.
[06:20] <velko> biggie-, why did grub failed to install on the usb drive? any error message?
[06:20] <darknezzspace> router is just a router huh?

[06:21] <kalifornia909> has anyone here installed ubuntu to a hardware raid
[06:21] <kalifornia909> !hardware raid
[06:21] <sipior> cberl1: or even see about building a different kernel and have a go with that
[06:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hardware raid - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:21] <surviver> anyone know the command to delete question "are u sure u want to delete y/n"
[06:21] <linkrjh> Swiftfox wont open.  It shows the 'starting' taskbar icon then it goes away and that is all.  Anyone know how to fix this?
[06:21] <Toma-> DanaG: i converted my parents to linux, now they dont buy anything till they know it works in linux :)
[06:21] <cberl1> sipior: I suppose that's not a bad idea, either.  Bit of a PITA, but do-able.
[06:21] <DanaG> Oh yeah, I am using DHCP.
[06:21] <breaker27> anyone have a update link on installing XGL and Compiz?  I am having issues when I tired to install it
[06:21] <Toma-> surviver: rm -f
[06:21] <DanaG> Parents are too stubborn.
[06:21] <biggie-> velko didn't write it down just said this is a fatal error - under the advance tab can i just tell grub not to install or is it needed? right now it wants to put itself on hd0
[06:21] <DanaG> s/P/My p/
[06:21] <cberl1> sipior: Does the default kernel support hyperthreading?
[06:22] <OuZo> how can i fix this? error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory thanks
[06:22] <surviver> Toma-, thats not exactly what i mean, i mean so if this question comes its yes
[06:22] <sipior> cberl1: should do, yes
[06:22] <diminthedam> diminthedam: could someone recommend a GUI based web log analyzer please
[06:22] <Toma-> DanaG: ok. what does 'dhclient3' do?
[06:22] <kalifornia909> anyone here deal with hardware raid
[06:22] <Toma-> surviver: hmm for what command?
[06:22] <linkrjh> Swiftfox wont open.  It shows the 'starting' taskbar icon then it goes away and that is all.  Anyone know how to fix this?
[06:22] <caris_mere> My pda isn't connecting properly.
[06:22] <cberl1> sipior: Okay, guess that wouldn't be the issue then.  Thought maybe since I've left that turned on the newer kernel might be having a "reaction"...
[06:22] <sipior> linkrjh: what happens when you run it from the terminal?
[06:22] <quiet> linkrjh, try running it from a command line and see what you get for errors
[06:23] <surviver> Toma-, he always asks want you to ... so i want automaticly to set this to yes so i dont have this question anymore
[06:23] <unimatrix9> hello there
[06:23] <DanaG> I'm not on that network at the moment,
[06:23] <linkrjh> /opt/swiftfox/run-mozilla.sh: 424: /opt/swiftfox/swiftfox-bin: not found
[06:23] <cberl1> Alright -- gonna reboot and turn off hyperthreading, just to see if that does anything for me anyway.  Thanks for the thoughts.
[06:23] <Toma-> DanaG: dang. makes it hard :/
[06:23] <velko> biggie-, generally you need it. but it is possible that it will work without it. really not sure. you don't lose anything if you give it a shot
[06:23] <sipior> cberl1: well, you can play with it and verify, but it doesn't seem likely. bit of googling might sort things out
[06:23] <Nab> Hi all
[06:23] <linkrjh> I just used the script the swiftfox website gives
[06:23] <sipior> cberl1: good luck
[06:23] <cberl1> sipior: Tried googling.  NO luck.  Thanks!
[06:23] <DanaG> but the last time I tried wireshark, I saw my system ask for an IP, followed by the router asking "who has <IP_ADDRESS>?  Tell <IP_ADDRESS>."
[06:23] <Toma-> DanaG: well that command should hook you up with an IP
[06:23] <DanaG> Nothing else.
[06:23] <velko> velko, just tell the installer you don't want to install grub
[06:23] <unimatrix9> any one got an aironet 350 wireless card?
[06:23] <caris_mere> I need some help getting my Palm Z22 to work with my computer.
[06:24] <zac_> hey does ubuntu install with telnet active? i cant telnet into my ubuntu machine
[06:24] <kalifornia909> !fakeraid
[06:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fakeraid - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:24] <velko> biggie-, just tell the installer you don't want to install grub and boot from the usb disk
[06:24] <kalifornia909> !raid

[06:24] <zac_> hey does ubuntu install with telnet active? i cant telnet into my ubuntu machine ?
[06:24] <velko> biggie-, after the installation
[06:24] <jfm3> cberl1: Yes.
[06:24] <IntangibleLiquid> OMG! Beryl is amazing!
[06:24] <sipior> zac_: no, use ssh, much better. install openssh server
[06:24] <biggie-> velko: didn't see that option... or is that just leaving it blank on the advance tab on step 7 of 7?
[06:24] <jfm3> zac_: No.
[06:24] <muuhBDXi> unimatrix9 whats its default user pass ?
[06:24] <zac_> ok
[06:24] <Markeda> Does anyone have any suggestions for a good book to read for a person who is 110% new to Linux?
[06:25] <DanaG> It seems like the router is just ignoring my request for an IP.
[06:25] <Pelo> IntangibleLiquid,  it will roth your teeth
[06:25] <DanaG> Note: the .1 is the router, and the .9 is the IP that's reserved for me.
[06:25] <jfm3> zac_: You should seriously consider using ssh instead of telnet for remote access.
[06:25] <kukkis> dudes, im new user on ubuntu, and also on linux, so wot should i download for this?
[06:25] <velko> biggie-, can you supply me with a screeny? i don't know what do you see right now on the screen
[06:25] <omha> i have a Vortex86 mini 200Mzh x86 box when i try to install ubuntu server edition i get "no suiteble kernel found" how can i fix it?
[06:25] <Pelo> mark3mk, the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is always good,
[06:25] <jfm3> kukkis: Do you have Ubuntu installed?
[06:25] <Pelo> Markeda, the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is always good,
 roth?
[06:26] <unimatrix9> the default is none , use sudo
[06:26] <unimatrix9> !sudo
[06:26] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:26] <unimatrix9> so there is no root password
[06:26] <Pelo> Markeda, but seriously you can pretty much find all you need to learn on line,  start with this   http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[06:26] <Toma-> DanaG: reserved you say? you dont have the router set to static mode do you?
[06:26] <Markeda> Mmm... I'll look into that. Thanks.
[06:26] <jfm3> omha: You can try the 'alternative' server CD.  I don't have the URL handy but it's easy to find at ubuntu.com.
[06:26] <sipior> Markeda: O'Reilly's "Running Linux" is generally well-regarded
[06:26] <Pelo> IntangibleLiquid,  as in candy rots your teeth,  sorry for the spelling,  english is not my first language
 mine neither!
[06:27] <muuhBDXi> candy doesnt rots your teetyh bacteria does
 that sounds logical ^ ^
[06:28] <caris_mere> Can someone help with kpilot?
[06:28] <Pelo> osfameron,  not mistake  mistakes
[06:28] <Pelo> caris_mere,   #kubuntu might be a better place they are used to kde apps over there
[06:28] <IntangibleLiquid> how can I make the desktop turn around without clicking on the window selector?
[06:29] <patrick_> anyone know how to add tracker to deskbar
[06:29] <Pelo> IntangibleLiquid, #beryl
[06:29] <Toma-> IntangibleLiquid: mouse wheel on the desktop
[06:29] <Pelo> patrick_,  what are trackers ?
[06:29] <Toma-> IntangibleLiquid: or hold the middle mouse wheel on the desktop
[06:29] <caris_mere> Pelo: nobody will help me there
[06:29] <patrick_> Pelo, tracker is a better alternative to beagle
[06:29] <muuhBDXi> when will a usb unbuntu fork is going to be out ?
[06:29] <caris_mere> Pelo: I have been trying for days
[06:30] <DanaG> The router has an option to reserve an IP for a specific MAC address,
[06:30] <biro> I can't install anything in my server
[06:30] <DanaG> but even when I have that option disabled, I still don't get an IP.
[06:30] <Pelo> caris_mere,  I wish I could help but I don'T know anything about palm pilots,  try the forum or this link  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[06:30] <Toma-> Quirky.
[06:30] <jfm3> patrick_: you can drag and drop stuff from menus to the panel with the right mouse button
[06:31] <Pelo> patrick_,  if tracker can be installed in the gnome-pannels it will be listed in the panne aps,  right click the pannel , select add to panel and look in the available applets
[06:31] <biro> whenever I type sudo, it gives me this error : unable to lookup domain.com via gethostname(), any suggestions?
[06:31] <caris_mere> Pelo: thanks for atleast writing. I haven't found help in forums much either.
[06:32] <LjL> !hostname > biro    (biro, see the private message from Ubotu) tried to change your hostname?
[06:32] <velko> biro, sounds like a dns problem. what do you have in your /etc/resolv.conf?
[06:32] <Pelo> caris_mere,  generaly the channels are maned by other users,  if they don'T know about your problem they don'T reply in order to not flod the channel with useless info,  it's pretty quiet here so I can take the time
[06:32] <muuhBDXi> how do i make a homepage for my wirless access point ?
[06:32] <patrick_> Pelo, no, Im trying to add tracker to deskbar much like beagle gets added
[06:33] <Pelo> caris_mere,  can you imagine  1208 ppl replying to say they can't help ????
[06:33] <Pelo> patrick_,  I got that , but you can't do it unless tracker allows for it
[06:33] <robinlinth> Where can I get support for Regnum Online? If i run the launcher, login, and then press play.. it only changes my screen resolution and then quits. I've searched around google for this, and found there was an error log that tells what is wrong. I have that information stored here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17979/ - Please help
[06:33] <Pelo> caris_mere,   have you tried to find the site for the ppl who make kpilot ?
[06:33] <biro> I don't know, I'll check right now
[06:33] <patrick_> Pelo, it does,  but I see no way of doing it
[06:34] <tholme> hey
[06:34] <muuhBDXi> how do i make a homepage for my wirless access point ?
[06:34] <DanaG> Is there any way to make Ubuntu do this:
[06:34] <jrib> patrick_: you need libdeskbar-tracker  beware there is a nasty bug that will make deskbar crash whenever you login (it's on Malone)
[06:34] <tholme> Im having trouble installing programs on my ubuntu
[06:34] <Pelo> patrick_,  did you look in the pannel app list ?
[06:34] <caris_mere> Pelo: I've been searching for days for information. But haven't found anything helpful
[06:34] <DanaG> Ask for IP, then if it doesnSet IP to <IP_ADDRESS>, try pinging <IP_ADDRESS>

[06:34] <DanaG> arfgh, apostrophe=>enter
[06:35] <tholme> Whenever I download a program it wont install, only way it will is through the 'sudo apt-get' command.
[06:35] <MWS_> how do you spell analysisment?
[06:35] <DanaG> Ask for IP, then if it doesn't get one, try setting IP to <IP_ADDRESS> and pinging <IP_ADDRESS> -- then if that works, use it?
[06:35] <LjL> tholme: that's because "sudo apt-get" *is* the good, safe and reasonable way to install programs.
[06:35] <patrick_> Pelo, do you use or ever have used tracker?

[06:36] <velko> biro, try LjL's suggestion about hostname
[06:36] <tholme> LjL: yes I like apt-get very much:) But there is a program that doesnt work through that installation method; Tor
[06:37] <muuhBDXi> how do i make a homepage for my wirless access point ?
[06:37] <LjL> tholme: you're kidding? tor is available from universe, and it'll even install privoxy and get configured to work with it
[06:37] <Nighteye> hello
[06:37] <HYPOCRISY> Hello
[06:37] <LjL> !info tor > tholme
[06:37] <biro> I didn't show the suggestion, the mirc has some problem.
[06:37] <tholme> LjL: when it is installed it says that Im not the correct user. It says that the user should be 'debian-tor'
[06:37] <Nighteye> interest
[06:38] <velko> biro, type "/msg ubotu hostname" where you type your comments (without "")
[06:38] <tholme> LjL: [warn]  /var/lib/tor is not owned by this user (tholme, 1000) but by debian-tor (112). Perhaps you are running Tor as the wrong user?

[06:39] <MikeyGT> for beryl*
[06:39] <MikeyGT>  i searched all over the net, but i cant seem to find the information
[06:39] <LjL> tholme: it didn't do that for me on edgy, but that doesn't seem like a good reason for not installing something like that (a *service*, not even an application!) manually...
[06:39] <LjL> tholme: how are you trying to start tor?
[06:39] <Pelo> caris_mere,  try asking for help in #kpilot and #kde
[06:39] <HYPOCRISY> secret
[06:39] <tholme> LjL: I installed it, and typed 'tor'
[06:40] <biro> velko : what should I don to hostname <somehostname>, somehostname = ?
[06:40] <LjL> tholme: bad idea... tor is a service, you're not supposed to just run the program. type  sudo invoke-rc.d tor start  (which will probably tell it it's already started, since it normally gets auto-started on installation and on boot)
[06:41] <tholme> LjL: trying it now

[06:42] <velko> biro, i don't understand your question
[06:42] <MrFeetio> how can i set up and use my xbox controller
[06:42] <LjL> tholme: it started. you should now be able to connect apps to it. you probably want to also do  sudo invoke-rc.d privoxy start , in order to point proxy-able apps (like web browser) to privoxy (which will then use tor)
[06:42] <patrick_> Pelo, got it sorted, you should check it out

[06:58] <Luci_> Im having probs. with the concept of LiveCD
[06:58] <Luci_> I am guessing that LiveCD is ment to allow peeps to test ubuntu
[06:58] <Luci_> however When I run the CD I start to get a bit freaked out when it mentions partitioning my HD
[06:58] <Luci_> am I just being paranoid, but is LiveCD ment to partition .... anything?
[06:59] <RickJames> Luci_,  : only if you tell it too
[06:59] <Pelo> Luci_,  don'T clck the install icon
[06:59] <PhilK> Luci_: did you open Gparted or the installer?  the LiveCD is 100% safe as long as you don't do anything with either of those
[06:59] <Luci_> installer runs default
[06:59] <Luci_> it goes to Ubuntu menu
[06:59] <tgelter> so, I had vmware installed under dapper & edgy and I've just noticed that it's sort of built in to feisty. how would I remove the installation I currently have to use the one that's been integrated into feisty?
[06:59] <Banujah> Pelo only image???
[07:00] <Pelo> Luci_,  when you get to the boot menu   do you get a start/install ? button
[07:00] <Pelo> Banujah,  what ?
[07:00] <Hellevator> if I has sshed into a remote machine how can I use the "scp" utility to copy a file to my local computer?
[07:00] <Luci_> install in text mode / install in OEM mode
[07:00] <Hellevator> like what would the command look like
[07:00] <Luci_> it goes straight to install menu
[07:00] <Pelo> Luci_,  you have the wrong cd
[07:00] <Luci_> bugger :/
[07:00] <Banujah> Pelo i'm going in struments and i select write image dvd
[07:00] <jrm4> I'm used to using "Xampp for Linux" -- has anyone tried both and prefers using the Ubuntu built in stuff to do Apache / PHP / etc...and why?
[07:00] <Luci_> well see ya
[07:00] <Banujah> Pelo it's ok?
[07:00] <OuZo> PhilK: yes, it has a arrow on top of it...
[07:00] <Luci_> off I go & D/L a new CD
[07:00] <chuck_tx> Do I have to mount a specific partition on the drive?  I am getting "special device" does not exist errors.
[07:01] <Witchery> How can I change my logon username?
[07:01] <Luci_> & Thx!!!!
[07:01] <Pelo> Banujah,  that's right,  and when it ask you to chose a file you give it the .iso you made with devede

[07:01] <bitter> stupid question, but i want to be sure
[07:01] <Banujah> Pelo i select in tools write image dvd in gnomebakers this make me dvd?
[07:01] <PhilK> OuZo: the arrow points to libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.11?
[07:01] <Pelo> Banujah,  yes
[07:01] <Witchery> Pelo how can I change my logon username
[07:02] <bitter> i've installed ubuntu-desktop, i can install xubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop and try those, no problemo?
[07:02] <Banujah> Pelo where are you from?
[07:02] <sethk> Witchery, easiest way is to just create a new user
[07:02] <IntangibleLiquid> that's damn strange. even after saving the sessons reopening sessions manager would bring the same faces!
[07:02] <boubbin> will *.mkv play in kubuntu feisty ?
[07:02] <Pelo> Witchery,   I think     menu > system > admin > users : select your user and check the properties
[07:02] <velko> bitter, yes. no problemo

[07:03] <bitter> thanks!
[07:03] <sethk> erUSUL, actually, you can, but it's a PITA and creating a new user is smarter.

[07:18] <p0wernem0> hello all
[07:18] <hellboro> does anybody knows what package contains the info docs for the STL or C++ Standard Libary?
[07:18] <sethk> jermain_, after you connect it and turn it on, run dmesg.  The last few lines are all you care about, ignore the first few thousand.  It will give you the device, typically /dev/sda or /dev/sdb
[07:18] <hellboro> err know
[07:18] <p0wernem0> someone cah give me a a hand with booting ubunto from usb external hd

[07:18] <doomster> Hi! I'm wondering what is the default inetd? Reason I'm asking is that I installed xinetd and a) it didn't uninstall the default one and b) didn't work without turning off the one that was installed.
[07:18] <jermain_> sethk: thanks, ill try it right now!
[07:19] <velko> hellboro, stl-manual

[07:20] <hellboro> I need the info docs
[07:20] <eck> theilliniguy: that means the person who made it tried to pack a bunch of themes into one archive, you'll have to extract the archive and move the folders in it to ~/.themes
[07:20] <Journeyman> I installed gdesklets and the CPU and memory wigiets work fine, but the network does not
[07:20] <kahrytan> eck: Hello

[07:22] <eck> theilliniguy: then move those into ~/.themes
[07:22] <eck> kahrytan: no
[07:22] <kahrytan> eck: You sure do help people allot here.
[07:23] <eck> theilliniguy: the hierarchy should be something like ~/.themes/[name of theme] /[metacity and gtk folders]
[07:23] <p0wernem0> hd3,0
[07:23] <antidrugue> p0wernem0: error 21 means your selected boot devices does not exist... so the wrong one was selected
[07:23] <sethk> p0wernem0, in /boot/grub, file device.map, make sure hd3 is mapped to /dev/sdd
[07:23] <eck> kahrytan: yeah, i'm a student, i have a lot of spare time ;-)
[07:23] <p0wernem0> hd3 /dev/sdd
[07:24] <p0wernem0> yes it is
[07:24] <phoenix_wrath> Hello , May I ask a newbee question regarding 7.04 version of ubuntu ?
[07:24] <antidrugue> p0wernem0: so (hd3,0) would mean /dev/sdd1
[07:24] <antidrugue> p0wernem0: is that what you want?
[07:24] <doomster> eck: thanks man, I didn't consider that possibility...
[07:24] <Shaffox> phoenix_wrath, go ahead

[07:24] <kahrytan> eck: I had a fan last night. Did you see UltraSpam? After being banned, he kept coming back to annoy me and spam room.
[07:25] <antidrugue> p0wernem0: verify the output of "sudo fdisk -l" to make sure that this is effectively your root partition
[07:25] <IntangibleLiquid> Mplayer seems to be scaling too much with beryl. What's wrong?

[07:26] <kahrytan> joeamined: Order shipit cd.
[07:26] <p0wernem0> but i installed grub with the cd and i installed also the bootloader on mbr of hd0
[07:26] <eck> kahrytan: i think i saw him get banned once, i must have missed most of itthough
[07:26] <p0wernem0> this happened also with fedora
[07:26] <kahrytan> joeamined: They send stickers with the cds.
[07:26] <antidrugue> p0wernem0: do you have more than one harddrive? anything special with your configuration?
[07:26] <joeamined> ok kahrytan thanks
[07:27] <kahrytan> joeamined: Otherwise, visit the ubuntu cafepress store for tshirts and what not. They sell them.

[07:28] <antidrugue> p0wernem0: hum... well, boot the live CD and verify that /dev/sdd1 (hd3,0) is really what you want (verify with "sudo fdisk -l")
[07:28] <antidrugue> ravigr8: "sudo apt-get install build-essential", if you have the CD in it should work
[07:28] <p0wernem0> yes but i think i miss the usb drivers
[07:29] <sethk> ravigr8, you have to get the package onto the machine in some way.  You can download it on another machine, and put it on a cd or a USB stick.
[07:29] <joeamined> kahrytan, thnks
[07:29] <kahrytan> eck: He uses few other names to avoid the ban.
[07:29] <thebillywayne> if I place a line in /etc/rc.local to start a program that requires root privilidges, would I have to place a sudo before the line?  like `sudo /etc/sbin/firestarter`.
[07:29] <p0wernem0> theres a boot floppy or cd that detects linux installation and moot from there?
[07:29] <ravigr8> actually i hav internet in windows but not available in kubuntu due to some prob
[07:29] <p0wernem0> *boot

[07:30] <LjL> thebillywayne, no sudo, rc.local's executed by root
[07:30] <kahrytan> thebillywayne: for firestarter, just type gksudo firestarter.

[07:30] <ranian> how to install font in ubuntu ?
[07:30] <Hehh> livecd booted just fine though (and so did 6.10 when I used to have it on this system)
[07:30] <LjL> thebillywayne: and i don't think you should do that. Firestarter is a GUI app, you DEFINITELY don't want to start it from rc.local
[07:30] <ranian> how to install font in ubuntu ?
[07:30] <jermain_> the winow is empty
[07:30] <LjL> !startup > thebillywayne    (thebillywayne, see the private message from Ubotu)

[07:30] <kahrytan> thebillywayne: gksudo is for gui apps. Sudo for bash.
[07:30] <jermain_> ><
[07:30] <ranian> example as ms-fonts
[07:31] <thebillywayne>  kahrytan LjL, thank you.  I've tried without the sudo, and firestarter still doesn't load my firewall rules on boot.
[07:32] <kahrytan> thebillywayne: Then there isn't any.  Try purging the config files. (Complete Uninstall). and Reinstall it.
[07:32] <Hehh> any ideas?
[07:32] <p0wernem0> the problem is that my drive is usb abd does'nt wanna boot

[07:32] <p0wernem0> and what you do?
[07:33] <jermain_> you can open the folder but cant see the files right?
[07:33] <phreck> hrm
[07:33] <jonbue> linux is notorious for usb hd problems
[07:33] <thebillywayne> kahrytan, I'll try that.  Firestarter has never worked properly for me.  Not in Sarge, Etch, Edgy, or Feisty.  But I'll try that.

[07:38] <qsheets_> Can someone help me?

[07:52] <Pici> !downgrade | SoftIce
[07:52] <ubotu> SoftIce: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[07:52] <SoftIce> I know its not supported but has anyone had any good success
[07:52] <jonbue> didnt know that was possible
[07:52] <SoftIce> Pici: I just said I know its not supported
[07:52] <berent> SoftIce : how do you downgrade?
[07:52] <SoftIce> and I asked after that has anyone had any luck
[07:52] <hendrixski> mobutu: how do you do that? ignore the leave comments that is
[07:52] <SoftIce> berent: you force rebuilding every package
[07:52] <kaje> how did the upgrade go? I'm a little worried to do the apt-get upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04
[07:52] <Pici> SoftIce: I typed it before you said that ;)
[07:52] <mobutu> hendrixski: which irc client do you use?  I was using irssi
[07:53] <sulle> I have managed to use CLONE on my LCD and tv. but on the tv the sound dont work, but if i change the channel the screen comes clear but sound disapear. woot to do?
[07:53] <PriceChild> kaje, "apt-get upgrade" doesn't take you to 7.04
[07:53] <mobutu> hendrixski: it's very easy in irssi
[07:53] <berent> SoftIce : will it take care of dependencies
[07:53] <chamunks> What would i use to erase my rw in ubuntu?
[07:53] <kaje> PriceChild: haha, I know that...
[07:53] <jburd> kaje, the upgrade went great for me, except right now my system's acting up.
[07:53] <hendrixski> mobutu: oh it's client specific?  I thought it was an IRC command... right now I'm trying out GAIM, but usually I use xchat
[07:53] <mobutu> i have been told the next version of gaim will support it
[07:53] <Asterix_> I had a package installer time out on a download and it failed but now I cannot close the window because it's all greyed out... how do I close it?
[07:53] <kaje> I meant the automated upgrade to 7.0 as opposed to reinstalling from scratch
[07:53] <maxetx> yo all !!
[07:54] <[GuS] > ?
[07:54] <hendrixski> mobutu: sweet.  I rather like it, it's fun
[07:54] <mobutu> irssi is a great irc client
[07:54] <ivan_> i everybody, any news on the hdparm problem with 7.04?
[07:54] <kitche> hendrixski: /ignore #ubuntu +JOIN +PART +QUIT should do it for xchat and irssi
[07:54] <SoftIce> berent: I don't know yet, as i have not tried it, but would like to try :)
[07:54] <chamunks> is there something built into ubuntu to erase rw's?

[07:55] <berent> SoftIce : its just a waste of time. Instead try contributing to newer versions .YOu can do many more circus here as well :-)
[07:55] <jonbue> that usually works for me

[07:55] <LjL> Lbawinowns: why don't you try typing "sudo apt-cache search hex editor" (with universe enabled)?
[07:55] <fredsa> hi guys, I'm going through the installer and I've come up against a dead end. I want to install ubuntu over my existing partitions, but the installer seems to want me to reformat my hard disc. It's step 4 of 7 where I get stuck.
[07:55] <hendrixski> By the way, has anyone heard about the Dell thing?
[07:55] <hendrixski> Sounds like there's going to be a big announcement next week, and they may be selling Ubuntu computers
[07:56] <kaje> chamunks: ahh, sorry don't do that very often... I'm sure there is something in K3B tho
[07:56] <fredsa> How can I just leave the partitions as they are and select hdd1 as the root partition?
[07:56] <jonbue> was it the update manager or synaptic?
[07:56] <chamunks> kaje what about Gnomebaker?
[07:56] <fredsa> I've done this with dapper and it was a no brainer
[07:56] <Asterix_> It's the default ubuntu update manager as far as I know
[07:56] <recon> it's freakishly quiet in here. at peak times.
[07:56] <alextj> I cannot install Feisty... Anyone know how can I skip migration assistant in Feisty installation, because it hangs every time and I cannot continue installation :/
[07:56] <kaje> chamunks: sorry, haven't used it
[07:56] <chamunks> kaje im hesitant to install more than i really require
[07:56] <jonbue> then look for update-manager in the bottom of the list of processes
[07:56] <recon> alextj: try waiting longer.
[07:57] <chamunks> kaje ok ill poke around
[07:57] <hendrixski> fredsa: you may need to doe the "advanced options"
[07:57] <berent> fredsa : You cannot install new ubuntu until you don't have any ubuntu on system
[07:57] <jonbue> should let u kill it
[07:57] <recon> alextj: or re-burn the CD.
[07:57] <alextj> recon, I waited for 30 minutes, there is no disk activity
[07:57] <mzanfardino> I've got an ubuntu 6.10 server and I need to change the time zone.  Any ideas?
[07:57] <Asterix_> would update-notifier be the right one?
[07:57] <hendrixski> /leave #ubuntu
[07:57] <jonbue> think so hehe
[07:57] <hendrixski> hmmm
[07:57] <alextj> recon, lol, that would be a good idea maybe, but I just run out of cd-r's
[07:58] <fglrsux> hendrixski: it's /part i believe :)
[07:58] <Asterix_> well I ended the update-notifier process and that didn't close the window
[07:58] <recon> alextj: order it on shipit and come back in a month.
[07:58] <alextj> recon, thanks, helpful
[07:58] <recon> alextj: or five.
[07:58] <alextj> :P
[07:58] <berent> mzanfardino : in system->administration->time and date
[07:58] <jonbue> no its update-manager
[07:58] <chamunks> kaje yes gnomebaker does it but i hear allot about k3b are you running it in gnome?
[07:58] <recon> alextj: honestly, i think something's wrong with the burn.
[07:58] <fredsa> hendrixski, where do I select the advanced option?
[07:58] <mzanfardino> berent: sorry, but as stated this server is not running a GUI
[07:58] <richguit>  /ignore #ubuntu +JOIN +PART +QUIT
[07:58] <alextj> Anyone know how to skip migration assistant in ubuntu installation?
[07:58] <Asterix_> I have it sorted by alpha and update-manager is not in the list
[07:58] <tsikis> hi there guys i got a small question i use wine to setup a program after my job was done i erased the directory or the installed program now i have the wine->programs->...... (i went in menu editor .... and deleted it ) but my question is dont i have to delete from where it is saved (like a file )?
[07:58] <predaeus> mzanfardino, probably try this, found with google:   http://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Timezone-in-Linux
[07:58] <jburd> There is a problem with the Feisty installer that I'd like to report.  When an MD5 check sum fails during installation for a package (while upgrading from the alternate CD), the installer should *automatically* fetch the .deb package from the Internet, if available.  I had to manually download 3 .deb files and add them to the cache to help the installer proceed.
[07:58] <berent> mzanfardino : sudo time-admin
[07:59] <jonbue> see if it has synaptic listed
[07:59] <kaje> chamunks: yep, I like it a lot... however, I haven't looked at any other projects recently, so my opinion is probably dated... But, K3B does everything I've needed in the past...
[07:59] <Asterix_> no synaptic in the list either
[07:59] <OuZo> i get this error when trying to share a folder in festy 64... You are not allowed to access the system configuration.
[07:59] <kahrytan> That stupid migration assistant should installed and used when ubuntu is first booted.
[07:59] <jonbue> only other thing id try is loggin out then back in
[07:59] <dade> anybody knows how to see how much disk space is left?
[07:59] <Asterix_> and I have view showing "All Processes"
[07:59] <kaje> dade: df -h
[07:59] <berent> df : dade
[07:59] <chamunks> kaje will it work nicely for burning my avi's to dvd? im looking for something to do that with.
[07:59] <jonbue> same here it should be in the list thats odd
[07:59] <dade> thanks... but if i try it i don't see my /dev/md1
[08:00] <predaeus> jburd, that would be a feature request, as you are required to check the cd image after downloading and also check the burned cd. (althouth I am not sure where to check the cd in the life cd/desktop version).
[08:00] <kahrytan> chamunks: You burn avi as data dvd?
[08:00] <kaje> chamunks: I'm sorry bud, I really don't know... I've never tried something like that
[08:00] <jburd> preaction, yeah.
[08:00] <sulle> how do i change back the keyboard language_ it have changed by itself.
[08:00] <mzanfardino> berent: thanks anyway, but there is no such function 'time-admin'.  I search apt-cache (I have universe and multiverse) and nothing was found there either.
[08:00] <kahrytan> chamunks: K3B works very well.
[08:00] <nikin> hy.. i ame still searching a method to set the xserver to display everything in greyscale instead of colors
[08:00] <recon> sulle: go to system>preferences>keyboard
[08:00] <jburd> I mean predaeus.   However, it'd be good if the checksum failure is logged and installation proceeds.
[08:00] <chamunks> kahrytan, i want them to be converted to video ts so i can play it in regular dvd players
[08:00] <OuZo> how do i share a folder to the network? the cli way...
[08:00] <chamunks> kaje, its all good thanks
[08:00] <berent> mzanfardino : i have 6.1 and i have it
[08:01] <predaeus> jburd, yea you are right, probably report a feature request here, I think that goes hand in hand with bug reporting:  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs
[08:01] <kahrytan> chamunks: Then you need an mpeg encoder. DVDs vob files are mpeg files.
[08:01] <ibbuntu> hello, I'm new to IRC so I don't know what the etiquette so I'll dive straight into my problem
[08:01] <mobutu> ibbuntu: sounds good
[08:01] <mzanfardino> berent: time-admin?
[08:01] <berent> dade : whats md1
[08:01] <berent> mzanfardino : iyes
[08:01] <mobutu> ibbuntu: just dont preface it with "can i ask a question?"
[08:01] <jburd> I just don't know why beagle doesn't index all of my NTFS partitions.
[08:01] <kaje> etiquette dictates you just ask a question once and wait for an answer =)
[08:01] <sulle> recon: thers no prefrences here, but i go to system>keyboard but there is no language option. i use xubuntu.
[08:01] <dade> berent: it is a RAID5 set made with mdadm
[08:02] <chamunks> kahrytan, ok sounds like what i used to use before i was using nero in winxp  there isnt an aio solution for this?
[08:02] <berent> dade : is it mounted
[08:02] <kahrytan> chamunks: aio?
[08:02] <dade> berent: yep on /mnt/raid
[08:02] <recon> sulle: then go to #xubuntu.
[08:02] <chamunks> kahrytan, all in one
[08:02] <mzanfardino> berent: hmmm.. you must have some repository that I haven't.  I've search apt-cache several times for variations and I've searched my machine with locate and no go
[08:03] <marcia> I installed feisty yesterday and haven't been able to get resolution higher than 1024x768--monitor allows 1280x1024--worked with edgy just fine
[08:03] <kahrytan> chamunks: No.
[08:03] <fredsa> nevermind, I worked it out
[08:03] <chamunks> kahrytan, or some mpeg encoder that would do this sort of thing but batch jobs, batch jobs would make things less painful indeed.
[08:03] <tsikis> guys anyone knows something about what i asked?
[08:03] <palmerthegeek> marcia:  might need to use a bigger hammer!
[08:03] <kaje> Anyone know if there is such a thing as a DHCP cache on Ubuntu? and how to clear it if there is?
[08:03] <jbernhardt> !dvd
[08:03] <marcia> thought about it
[08:03] <berent> mzanfardino : may be : but i have multiverse universe only
[08:03] <blaze_> i need help installing lm-sensors
[08:03] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[08:03] <mzanfardino> berent: did you say 6.1 or 6.10?
[08:03] <blaze_> i need help installing lmsensors
[08:03] <ibbuntu> I have just upgraded to feisty and have had internet working with ndiswrapper for about a week, and I recently lost the connection and then after restarting a couple of times it can't even find my networking hardware anymore. I'm completely at a loss at how to figure out what is wrong and what to do.
[08:03] <berent> mzanfardino : both are same - edgy
[08:03] <Zaehlas> Hello all.  I have an unusual problem.  One of my ubuntu computers seems to be shutting down.  It always does it when I'm away, or asleep.  It's connected to an UPS, so I know it's not power, and I don't think the processor is overheating.  What would be the best way to check log files to see if there's a reason for the shutdown?
[08:04] <mzanfardino> berent: run a whereis for time-admin and tell me the path (not the same, technically)
[08:04] <berent> mzanfardino : 6.06 = diapper
[08:04] <palmerthegeek> marcia: which video driver
[08:04] <marcia> ati
[08:04] <kitche> marcia: your monitor supports it but the gnome resolution applet probably just sticks with 1024x768, only way that I know how to get higher res is to fix xorg.conf with sudo dpkg-reconfigue xserver-xorg
[08:04] <blaze_> hey can someone help me install lmsensors
[08:04] <berent> mzanfardino : /usr/bin
[08:04] <palmerthegeek> thanks kitche,
[08:04] <kahrytan> chamunks: Search the Repos.
[08:04] <marcia> tried to fix xorg-but have to revert to back-up everytime
[08:05] <chamunks> kahrytan, willdo cheers!
[08:05] <sgtmattbaker> does anyone know what I need to do w/ the slackware floppy? I have an asus p5b deluxe motherboard
[08:05] <mzanfardino> berent: hmmm... well, I don't appear to have it. I'm running 6.10 (edgy) and I have all my repositories wide open.  c'est la vie I guess.
[08:05] <weas3l> is there a way to make the icons and toolbar sizes smaller in gnome?
[08:05] <OuZo> why does festy64 not pic up my flash drive?
[08:05] <PriceChild> sgtmattbaker, this is #ubuntu sorry
[08:05] <kahrytan> chamunks: There is many encoders for mpeg. I do my encoding on windows using ffmpeg.
[08:05] <aleksander> Does anyone know how to remove the joining/leaving messages?
[08:05] <berent> mzanfardino : anyway it also has small gui
[08:05] <mobutu> aleksander: which irc client?
[08:05] <berent> mzanfardino : try date --help
[08:06] <aleksander> Xchat-gnome
[08:06] <berent> mzanfardino : try date --help |grep zone

[08:06] <pugz> Hi! I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm having trouble in installing new firefox, When I type firefox in Console, it tells me that firefox is not installed. What to do?
[08:06] <mobutu> (10:54:06 AM) kitche: hendrixski: /ignore #ubuntu +JOIN +PART +QUIT should do it for xchat and irssi
[08:06] <blaze_> can somebody help me install lmsensors? plz
[08:06] <Agni> aleksander: try prefs?
[08:06] <berent> pugz : very simple . install it
[08:06] <weas3l> ...
[08:07] <LjL> blaze_: what about "sudo apt-get install lm-sensors"?
[08:07] <dunstabulos> mobutu: just tried that on xchat, and it doesn't
[08:07] <kaje> pugz: sudo apt-get install firefox
[08:07] <dade> blaze_ : what u r using lmsensors for?
[08:07] <mobutu> i do not know
[08:07] <PriceChild> blaze_, sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
[08:07] <mobutu> i can tell you how to do it in irssi
[08:07] <PriceChild> blaze_, then sudo sensors-detect
[08:07] <blaze_> i want to monitor the temperature of my cpu
[08:07] <mzanfardino> berent: yeah, haven't any kind of gui sort of eliminates my being able to use it, as I'm running a server with no gui.  Anyway, I am looking into the wiki page someone else through out.  maybe that will help
[08:07] <sgtmattbaker> does anyone know what I need to do w/ the slackware floppy? I have an asus p5b deluxe motherboard
[08:07] <Agni> pugz: sudo apt-get install firefox
[08:07] <PriceChild> blaze_, then the "sensors" command should work
[08:07] <dade> cool :)
[08:07] <pugz> I followed the instructions on mozillas homepage
[08:07] <kahrytan> pugz: Firefox should be in the applications menu.
[08:07] <aleksander> Agni: there nothing about it in preference
[08:08] <ibbuntu> kaje: lspci shows that my network controller is "Broadcom Corporation Unknown device 4308 (rev 02)"
[08:08] <mobutu> sgtmattbaker: only dudes in caves still use slackware
[08:08] <pugz> that "sudo apt" doesn't work
[08:08] <PriceChild> pugz, We provide support here for firefox from the ubuntu repositories. Not from mozilla directly :)
[08:08] <Agni> pugz: what version?
[08:08] <berent> mzanfardino : try date --help |grep zone
[08:08] <aleksander> Unknown arg '+JOIN' ignored. Unknown arg '+PART' ignored. Unknown arg '+QUIT' ignored
[08:08] <thebillywayne> kahrytan, you shouldn't recommend Guarddog to people.
[08:08] <Agni> aleksander: try setting 'em to blank?
[08:08] <sgtmattbaker> mobotu: I just want to install it for fun
[08:08] <kahrytan> pugz: Firefox is installed by default.
[08:08] <blaze_> cool it installed it....now where do i go to check the temperatures?
[08:08] <kahrytan> thebillywayne: Why not?
[08:08] <dade> sensors
[08:08] <mobutu> sgtmattbaker: go outside and enjoy sunshine instead
[08:08] <aleksander> setting what to blank?
[08:08] <jbernhardt> !dvd
[08:08] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[08:08] <pugz> <IP_ADDRESS> and the finnish version
[08:08] <Agni> aleksander: edit --> prefs --> IRC preferences
[08:08] <LjL> blaze_: try typing "sensors"
[08:08] <kaje> ibbuntu: lsmod | grep ndis
[08:09] <blaze_> in terminal?
[08:09] <sgtmattbaker> mobutu: not being helpful...
[08:09] <Agni> pugz: no, i mean ubuntu
[08:09] <LjL> blaze_: of course
[08:09] <kitche> aleksander: might need s at the enxt but xchat-gnome is different then xchat
[08:09] <mobutu> mobutu: the days of installing slackware from floppy are long over
[08:09] <PriceChild> sgtmattbaker, this is #ubuntu we dont' provide support for slackware
[08:09] <pugz> oh, the 7.0.4
[08:09] <nick01> hi I just installed 7.04 and it takes a looong time to boot- it keeps saying failed to set "xfered" or something like that
[08:09] <kaje> ibbuntu: that checks that the ndis module is loaded in the kernel
[08:09] <kahrytan> thebillywayne: I warned you that it is complex.
[08:09] <sgtmattbaker> PriceCHild is there a #slackware
[08:09] <thebillywayne> kahrytan, because it blocks everything by default and tells you to hit "apply".  i've remove guarddog, yet the firewall rules still won't allow me to connect to ANYTHING until I start firestarter.
[08:09] <pugz> I know, that forefox was installed by default
[08:09] <blaze_> thanks alot
[08:09] <kitche> aleksander: so it's +JOINS +PARTS+ QUITS
[08:09] <Zaehlas> Hello all.  I have an unusual problem.  One of my ubuntu computers seems to be shutting down.  It always does it when I'm away, or asleep.  It's connected to an UPS, so I know it's not power, and I don't think the processor is overheating.  What would be the best way to check log files to see if there's a reason for the shutdown?
[08:09] <PriceChild> sgtmattbaker, yes.
[08:09] <Agni> pugz: in that case, use Applications > Add/ Remove
[08:09] <thebillywayne> kahrytan, you said it was complex, sure.  but you didn't say that I'd boink my firewall rules.
[08:09] <kitche> sgtmattbaker: no but htere is ##slackware
[08:09] <Agni> pugz: that will be faster and easier
[08:10] <aleksander> i'll be right back with normal x-chat
[08:10] <dade> blaze: why not try also hddtemp?
[08:10] <ibbuntu> kaje: that returns "ndiswrapper  239608 0
[08:10] <ibbuntu> usbcore 154416 4 ndiswrapper,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd"
[08:10] <kahrytan> thebillywayne: You need to open ports.
[08:10] <kaje> ibbuntu do you remember what interface it was on? eth1?
[08:11] <kahrytan> thebillywayne: For example, DNS server is required.
[08:11] <ibbuntu> kaje: as far as I can remember I think it was on wlan0
[08:11] <hendrixski> tablet PC's there's two kinds right?  which is the one that has Ubuntu friendly drivers???
[08:11] <kahrytan> thebillywayne: DNS resolves domain names.
[08:11] <thebillywayne> kahrytan, yeah.  thanks for telling me NOW.
[08:11] <foutrelis> hey :]
[08:12] <kaje> ibbuntu: so when you do ifconfig wlan0, what does it show?
[08:12] <kahrytan> thebillywayne:  the website does have documentation :-P
[08:12] <dade> anybody knows how to see how much space is left on a RAID5 array made with mdadm and mounted ?
[08:12] <thebillywayne> kahrytan, just do us all a big favor and don't recommend Guarddog to people,
[08:12] <kahrytan> thebillywayne:  or just tell them to read the documentation
[08:13] <foutrelis> thebillywayne: Is that a firewall interface?
[08:13] <thebillywayne> foutrelis, yes.
[08:13] <Mersault> Is there a way to migrate a windows user account after I've finished the installation? I didn't check a user account, because I didn't think they'd be interested. After seeing beryl, they're very interested...
[08:13] <kahrytan> thebillywayne:  There is kmyfirewall
[08:13] <foutrelis> I see. Thanks. :)
[08:14] <ibbuntu> kaje: device not found, as my problem is that I've lost all my network connections, I used to have eth1 and wlan0 and they've both disappeared
[08:14] <kahrytan> Mersault: that's what I would like to know
[08:14] <kitche> Mersault: umm you have to create the user ont he linux system and just copy the fiels over to the linux system from the windows system
[08:14] <kaje> what happens when you do /etc/init.d/networking restart ?
[08:14] <Mersault> okay, so there's no automated assistance like there is during the install?
[08:14] <kahrytan> foutrelis: guarddog is a complex ipchains (firewall) configuration tool. Gotta know a little something about ports.
[08:15] <aleksander> exit
[08:15] <foutrelis> kahrytan: I know of Firestarter (I think thats how it's called.). It would be nice to have a default firewall user interface in Ubuntu. :)
[08:15] <berent> kaje : experience majic
[08:16] <eck> i think iptables, not ipchains
[08:16] <kaje> berent: that was intended for ibbuntu... lol
[08:16] <berent> kaje : oh :-)
[08:17] <kahrytan> eck: my bad. Iptables. I get them confused.
[08:17] <kahrytan> eck: they do the same thing.
[08:17] <eck> yeah, ip chains is just really old
[08:17] <kahrytan> eck: Now you know how I have used Linux off and on.
[08:18] <eck> foutrelis: i think the issue is that if you have your system configured properly, running a (software) firewall is going to cause more problems than it solves
[08:18] <kitche> eck: either or really since iptables does have an ipchains extension
[08:18] <luisgmarine> Hello guys, I have a 64-bit processor but I'm running Ubuntu 32-bit.  Would compiling and using a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit system improve speed at all?
[08:19] <PriceChild> luisgmarine, it will break things.
[08:19] <ibbuntu> kaje: ugh, lots of errors, eth1: Error for wireless request "Set encode" (8B2A): SET failed on device eth1: No such device ..... "there is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 6847440" looks relevant
[08:19] <foutrelis> eck: Well you have a good point there :) There is also hardware firewalls anyway :P
[08:19] <foutrelis> *are
[08:19] <ibbuntu> kaje: and similar things for wlan0
[08:19] <PriceChild> luisgmarine, you wouldn't see to much of a benefit by running an entirely 64bit system anyway.
[08:19] <kahrytan> eck: Firestarter is a good app. It won't cause issues by default.
[08:19] <luisgmarine> PriceChild, I figured, I'm not sure if I should even bother upgrading to 64-bit.  I love messing around and making things work, but I don't knwo if 64-bit is really all that worth it
[08:19] <nevermind_> luisgmarine, question, if you have a 64bit system, installing 64 software might improve the system alot, on a 32 bit system, it might have affects from not working to crashing your system
[08:19] <PriceChild> luisgmarine, it isn't. :)
[08:19] <luisgmarine> PriceChild, ok good, I was just guessing the same thing :)
[08:19] <assasukasse> i need that thunderbird opens my mailto: links instead of evolution, how can i do that?
[08:19] <nevermind_> depending what you have
[08:20] <kahrytan> eck: Firestarter is permissive by default
[08:20] <luisgmarine> I'm just using my system for a little bit of gaming, and mostly music/ internet browsing
[08:20] <eck> i just don't think that iptables (or whatever) is that useful to many people. most people are behind a router anyway, and even if you're not there aren't any open ports by default, so running iptables probably isn't going to do anything for you and might break things
[08:20] <darrend> hi.  Where would I look to amend the way ifup/ifdown add entries into the routing table?  I want wireless routes to always be added with a higher metric than those for wired interfaces if possible
[08:21] <kahrytan> eck: Routers aren't perfect :)
[08:21] <CheshireViking> hi, anybody got any advice on how to start a Live CD when halts & seems to freeze with a message "Unable to start the Gnome display Daemon"?
[08:21] <kahrytan> assasukasse: System>Preferences>Perfered Applications
[08:21] <luisgmarine> CheshireViking, sounds like its a bad burn
[08:22] <kaje> ibbuntu have you tried to do ndiswrapper -l ?
[08:22] <kaje> I'm pretty sure that's the command, it's been a while
[08:23] <david__> what's everyone up too?
[08:23] <CheshireViking> luisgmarine, don't think so, the same computer does the same thing with Fiesty & Edgy, but dapper starts ok, both the edgy & fiesty cd's have been used on other computers to install without problems, but its worth a thought, I'll redownload and burn on that machine
[08:23] <ibbuntu> kaje: yes that gives bcmwl5 : driver installed, but it doesn't day that the hardware is present
[08:23] <assasukasse> thanks kahrytan
[08:23] <uberkeek> sup urrbody
[08:23] <kaje> Just as an aside, you might want to look at the bcm30xx wireless driver project... I have a broadcom and I used to have to do ndiswrapper, but I've been using that driver instead for a while now
[08:23] <kahrytan> assasukasse: Thunderbird profiles in Windows are compatible with Linux thunderbird.
[08:23] <berent> !nvidia
[08:23] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:24] <kaje> ibbuntu: hmm, that is definitely a problem right there
[08:24] <luisgmarine> CheshireViking, ask around before you do that, dont' want to make you do any extra stuff. I've never seen that kind of problems.  In my experience errors in Live CD's usually are bad to be burning it wrong
[08:24] <ibbuntu> kaje: I'll have a look at that

[08:25] <luisgmarine> CheshireViking, lol give it a roll :)
[08:25] <luisgmarine> lol sorry Id ont' know the robots command to when someone asks if they can ask a question =P

[08:26] <kahrytan> !questions
[08:26] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:26] <ibbuntu> kaje: yes it is a problem, but I don't know where it's come from, it was working and suddenly now it isn't. I've tried making sure that the pci card is in securely and tried restarting numerous times, but apart from that i;m not sure what else to try
[08:26] <kaje> ibbuntu: maybe your card is malfunctioning... When I do lspci on my laptop, I don't get that Unknown message on mine...
[08:26] <roflcopter> what card is it
[08:26] <kunwon1> I've got dual monitors set up with TwinView, and when I alt+tab, it only switches between applications on my current monitor. Is there a way to make alt-tab per-desktop and not per-monitor?
[08:27] <ibbuntu> kaje: perhaps, but I would have thought that wouldn't take down eth0 (or eth1 I don't remember which one it was) also
[08:27] <psst_> what about asking to ask to ask?  Is that bad too?
[08:27] <foutrelis> psst_: Just ask your question. :)

[08:28] <psst_> would it be ok to ask whether I could ask a question about recursion?
[08:28] <ubotu> psst_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:28] <Ecnarf> I've never used IRC before- can anyone read me?
[08:28] <Ecnarf> yay!
[08:28] <recon> Ecnarf: hi there.
[08:28] <kaje> ibbuntu: that is a good point...
[08:28] <hazmat40> My swap partition won't load on boot
[08:28] <hazmat40> what should I do?
[08:28] <Ecnarf> Ok- I have some very odd bugs to report, and no idea how to report them
[08:28] <weas3l> psst_: i wouldn't ask about asking to ask about asking a question. it gets people confused ;)
[08:28] <kaje> ibbuntu: you didn't do any tinkering in your /etc/network/interfaces file did you?
[08:28] <ibbuntu> kaje: nope
[08:28] <kitche> hazmat40: does it say swap failed?
[08:28] <foutrelis> hazmat40: Did you change your partition scheme before the problem appeared?
[08:28] <cdrdev> hi
[08:29] <kitche> but how do you know it does not load?
[08:29] <recon> Ecnarf: file it at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs
[08:29] <CheshireViking> luisgmarine, very annoying tho - i've got a feeling its due to an acpi bios bug but I've not found a way to solve that
[08:29] <hazmat40> foutrelis, maybe.
[08:29] <Ecnarf> Thanks, recon
[08:29] <hazmat40> kitche, does it appear in dmesg?
[08:29] <foutrelis> hazmat40: Could you please pastebin your /etc/fstab?
[08:29] <assasukasse> kahrytan: do u know why if i select xterm as a preferred terminal and make a key shortcut gnome-terminal opens instead?
[08:29] <kitche> hazmat40: it might but by default swap is only used when it's needed
[08:29] <psst_> weas3l: lol
[08:29] <ibbuntu> kaje: I've had to do a hard shutdown a couple of times after trying to run beryl which instantly crashed, but that's another issue that I'm not going to get into
[08:30] <kaje> ibbuntu: well, I'm not sure what to tell ya... my next move would be to remove ndiswrapper and see if you can get that other interface back up and running...
[08:30] <kahrytan> assasukasse: i don't know
[08:30] <hazmat40> just a minute, I'll pastebin fstab
[08:30] <mikedep333> hey, what's the keyboard command to bring up system monitor?
[08:31] <kaje> ibbuntu: perhaps when the system tries to bring up the ndiswrapper module it crashes so hard that it doesn't continue on to the next interface...
[08:31] <kaje> ibbuntu: well, I need to run to lunch... sorry I couldn't be of more help =)
[08:31] <berent> mikedep333 : keyboard  command to bring monitor . ??
[08:31] <weas3l> psst_: i'm a big fan of wordplay. my favorite: Buffallo buffallo buffallo Buffallo buffalo, Buffallo buffallo buffalo!
[08:31] <ibbuntu> kaje: that's ok, thanks
[08:31] <mikedep333> berent: GNome System Monitor
[08:32] <mikedep333> under system, administration
[08:32] <berent> mikedep333 : from command line startx
[08:32] <eck> mikedep333: i don't think there's a keybinding for it by default, you can add one through gconf-editor though
[08:32] <weas3l> wikipedia it ;)
[08:32] <mikedep333> eck: thanks

[08:33] <foutrelis> hazmat40: Why is line 10 commented out? :)
[08:33] <RedRum> I just tried to install ubuntu 7.04, but something didnt work out
[08:34] <hazmat40> foutrelis, i tried label instead of uuid :-/
[08:34] <RedRum> i got an error message: 'could not start the X server (your gui)
[08:34] <foutrelis> hazmat40: No worries..
[08:34] <puff> RedRum: What hardware?
[08:34] <RedRum> i have no idea how to fix this issue

[08:34] <Jack31> heres the error i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17997/
[08:34] <puff> RedRum: Me neither, but you may want to try out the altnerate install CD, which has a text-only installer.
[08:34] <hazmat40> foutrelis, how do i check what's the uuid of a swap partition?
[08:35] <foutrelis> hazmat40: Try this command and see what UUID it gives
[08:35] <RedRum> puff: where can i get it?
[08:35] <foutrelis> hazmat40: sudo vol_id -u /dev/hda2
[08:35] <ra21vi> hello Humans ;)
[08:35] <puff> RedRum: Same place you get the regular Cd.
[08:35] <sgtmattbaker> can I put a pdf file on my palm in Ubuntu? I know there is a pdf installer sort of thing in Windows
[08:35] <RedRum> i mean, is it something i can fix after ive installed ubuntu?
[08:35] <HannaI> Hi, i running linux ubuntu how i can install KDE? what it's the command?
[08:35] <puff> RedRum: google:  ubuntu alternate cd
[08:35] <puff> RedRum: Yeah, I suspect so.
[08:35] <foutrelis> HannaI: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[08:36] <RedRum> i certainly hope you're right
[08:36] <puff> RedRum: Just a couple days ago my friend had a lot of X giu problems installing using the reguarl CD.
[08:36] <ra21vi> have anyone noticed a problem in synaptics? when generating offline download scripts for selected packages, it does wget -chttp://url/to/package.deb, i think instead it should be wget -c http://url/to.deb
[08:36] <HannaI> foutrelis tnx
[08:36] <hazmat40> foutrelis, oh, it's different because I recreated it with mkswap
[08:36] <puff> RedRum: So upon the advice of folks here, she installed with the alternate CD, which got the graphics working.
[08:36] <foutrelis> HannaI: You're welcome.
[08:36] <sgtmattbaker> can I put a pdf file on my palm in Ubuntu? I know there is a pdf installer sort of thing in Windows
[08:36] <laser-> Hello. Where can I get a list of packages installed by default by Ubuntu?
[08:36] <RedRum> btw, that CD really messed up my XP
[08:36] <hazmat40> foutrelis, but i did it just now
[08:37] <RedRum> when i rebooted into XP, the colors and resolutions were all changed
[08:37] <hazmat40> foutrelis, not before the swap weirdness
[08:37] <ra21vi> laser-: you can see those in synaptics
[08:37] <kurumin> Ubuntu Sucks

[08:38] <kurumin>
[08:38] <foutrelis> kurumin: Stop that please.
[08:38] <hazmat40> foutrelis, would mount -a mount the swap partition?
[08:38] <foutrelis> hazmat40: It should.
[08:38] <ra21vi> aa^way: have you installed the gstreamer plugins required for that
[08:38] <RedRum> i can choose what partition i can install to during a text-install, cant i?
[08:38] <laser-> ra21vi: I don't have an Ubuntu box handy
[08:38] <aa^way> ra21vi, im not sure, how you look it / install them?
[08:38] <Hellevator> weas3l, Fiesty has this functionality built in when you install ubuntu, in the windows migration assistant.  I use the firefox bookmarks syncronizer extension though
[08:38] <foutrelis> RedKrieg: Sure you can.
[08:39] <RedRum> i'd like to overwrite my Vista partition..

[08:39] <hazmat40> foutrelis, no
[08:39] <Hellevator> weas3l, use either the Google Browser Sync firefox extension or the bookmarks syncronizer
[08:39] <ra21vi> aa^way: try VLC and also install required gstreamer-0.10 plugins... using synaptics if you are a new
[08:39] <RedRum> btw, the error more specifically was 'screen found, but it could not be configured
[08:40] <foutrelis> hazmat40: Bad luck. I don't thing I can help you further. :(

[08:41] <RedRum> is beryl some sortof addon i have to download in addition to ubuntu?
[08:41] <foutrelis> HannaI: You can save the packages downloaded if you want. And then copy them over to another system before installing kubuntu-desktop. They are saved in /var/cache/apt/packages
[08:41] <foutrelis> hazmat40: No.
[08:41] <luisgmarine> RedRum, you do have to download it and set it up, would you like the guide on how to go about it?
[08:42] <neo2k> aa^way, look here for a solution: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[08:42] <fiXXXerMet> oh boy.
[08:42] <RedRum> luisgmarie: sure, i just have to actually install ubuntu first :/

[08:44] <fiXXXerMet> My video performance seems to be really low - dragging a window around the desktop "skips" as a game with low frames-per-second does, and the screen saver does the same thing.  How can I diag./fix this?

[08:44] <ubotu> nuked_omen: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

I thought I could do this by checking the mac address of the dhcp server i was connected to.  any ideas ?
[08:44] <nuked_omen> what's the problem
[08:44] <Boni> yes, RedRum
[08:44] <soundray> RedRum: yes
[08:44] <luisgmarine> RedRum, yes
[08:44] <tholme> Why isnt libevent on Ubuntu?
[08:44] <neo2k> RedRum, chmod +x tremulous.x86
[08:44] <neo2k> nuked_omen*, chmod +x tremulous.x86
[08:44] <kitche> nuked_omen: then the file is not exectuable but why not isntall the package or did trem finally come out with their newest version?
[08:44] <BOZZY> t
[08:45] <hazmat40> is there a way to remove the hibernation option from the shutdown menu?
[08:45] <ra21vi> aa^way: sure, use sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins (hit tab for the lists)

[08:46] <ffm> I want to VNC to my computer, but I forgot my pass (I am over SSH).
[08:46] <aa^way> ra21vi: Package gstreamer0.10-plugins is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[08:46] <RedRum> so, i use Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Daily Build and install with text only.. then i can boot into ubuntu and fix the GUI? Im gonna need help for that later...
[08:47] <soundray> ffm: you can kill vncserver, delete the password file in $HOME/.vnc and start vncserver again
[08:47] <Zormy007> Will an ATI Radeon X1600 Pro gfx card work right after installation of 7.04? does aynone here use the same???
[08:47] <ZubZ^> guys, is there also cube and other desktop effects in kubuntu??
[08:47] <ryanakca> ZubZ^: yep

[08:48] <RedRum> do i have to reinstall all my drivers and network cards and stuff after installing ubuntu? even though im only installing to a partition?

[08:52] <eck> RedRum: you might have to change your keyboard layout if you have a non-US keyboard
[08:52] <Rex_> ok... thanks. So here is my question. I know my monitor supports higher refresh rates than what displayconfig-gtk is setting in my xorg.conf. How can I manually add a line for say, 1280x1024 at 80Hz? The numbers in the strings mean nothing to me. Here is the paste from xorg.conf. http://pastebin.ca/461532
[08:52] <Pi4uks> !ati
[08:52] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:52] <disinterested> zubs ok
[08:52] <iMilad> soundray: what exactly is udf?
[08:53] <berent> it says unable to write find.notslocate
[08:53] <RedRum> i have a norwegian standard qwerty keyboard..
[08:53] <luisgmarine> anyone know why changing my root password is not saving?
[08:53] <RedRum> eh, wont that work?
[08:53] <soundray> iMilad: a packet-oriented filesystem for mounting rewritable media read-write
[08:53] <thornomad> eck, on the mac "arp"  turns outr to be the command too -- great, that works.  arp-ed the host and got the mac address. awesome. thanks
[08:53] <psst_> luisgmarine: what makes you say it isn't saving?
[08:53] <Rex_> line 24 is what I would like to modify. Anyone have any ideas?
[08:53] <foutrelis> luisgmarine: Changing your root password is strongly advised against. :) Use !sudo instead.
[08:54] <hajhouse> !firewall > hajhouse
[08:54] <eck> RedRum: check if there is a norwegian qwerty keyboard under the keyboard layout thing
[08:54] <RedRum> im not sure what youre talking about, i have yet to experience linux
[08:54] <eck> thornomad: yeah, the difference is that arp will show the current arp table, arping will let you get the MAC address of an IP address that may not be in the ARP cache
[08:55] <eck> RedRum: go to System > Preferences > Keyboard
[08:55] <kitche> Rex_: dvorak is fun to learn when you learn the qwerty way :)
[08:55] <RedRum> eck: im on winXP
[08:55] <luisgmarine> psst_, foutrelis , I'm using the sudo change commands in the Ubuntu Guide, but it says password is updated but when I use it , system says thats not my password, I keep on having to use my old one
[08:55] <thornomad> eck ... hmm ... interesting.  arping isn't a command on the mac/unix system though ... is that difference going to make a difference if i want to verify my current network hosts mac address ?
[08:55] <eck> RedRum: will do it later then :-P
[08:55] <Rex_> kitche, it can actually be faster if you are proficient with it.
[08:56] <eck> thornomad: only if the network host isn't in the arp cache... i don't actually know how long entries stay in it before expiring
[08:56] <foutrelis> luisgmarine: Are you trying to change your password or root's?
[08:56] <luisgmarine> foutrelis, the password I use for sudo
[08:57] <RedRum> you guys get paid for being in here?
[08:57] <soundray> RedRum: no
[08:57] <luisgmarine> foutrelis, I guess that could be my user password
[08:57] <southards> what is up with compiz in feisty? When i enable it i lose my window border.
[08:57] <RedRum> respect..
[08:57] <soundray> RedRum: if you want help from people who get paid, look up Canonical
[08:57] <thornomad> eck ... i guess i can just play with it.  i want to automount network shares when i start my laptop ... when i am at home, i want to automount them via AFP (on my powerbook) ... when i am traveling, I want to automount them via ssh ... so was trying to figure out a way to detect if I was at home or not ... hopefully this will work
[08:57] <foutrelis> luisgmarine: Try "passwd" (without the quotes) in a terminal.
[08:57] <sgtmattbaker> southards: don't bother w/ compiz.. just go beryl.  AFAIK compiz is pretty pitiful these days
[08:57] <RedRum> soundray: you guys suit me fine :)
[08:58] <kitche> sgtmattbaker: so is beryl but then agian beryl will be no more soon and become compiz-extra
[08:58] <kahrytan> Beryl sucks
[08:58] <RedRum> btw, whats the best IRC client and MSN client for linux?
[08:58] <soundray> southards: it's experimental. Follow the manual procedure if it doesn't work. Check out #ubuntu-effects as well
[08:58] <soundray> !best | RedRum
[08:58] <ubotu> RedRum: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[08:58] <southards> sgtmattbaker: are the packages in the standard repos?
[08:58] <luisgmarine> foutrelis, thank you very much, that worked :)
[08:58] <sgtmattbaker> sputhards: I don't think beryl is
[08:58] <foutrelis> luisgmarine: You're welcome.
[08:58] <foutrelis> ^.^
[08:58] <soundray> RedRum: btw -- Shining?
[08:58] <sgtmattbaker> Beryl is good but they don't ever release fully stable versions
[08:58] <RedRum> whats an irc client of your reccomendation then?
[08:59] <Rex_> anyone, about my prob with monitor refresh rates?
[08:59] <foutrelis> RedRum: Opera!
[08:59] <kahrytan> redrum X-Chat
[08:59] <soundray> RedRum: xchat-gnome (but I've never tried anything else ;)
[08:59] <luisgmarine> foutrelis, so passwd is for my user, and then sudo passwd root is for root ?
[08:59] <RedRum> Opera, as in the web-browser?
[08:59] <foutrelis> luisgmarine: Exactly.
[08:59] <Lhademmor> Hi people. I've installed Ubuntu on my ThinkPad R51, but every time I close the lid, the screen goes black (which, I guess, is what it's supposed to do...). Problem is: When I reopen the lid, the screen remains black, and I can't reach Ubuntu. Is this a bug?
[08:59] <luisgmarine> foutrelis, ok thank you , I will make a note of that
[08:59] <reno_> #ubuntu.it
[09:00] <mikedep333> Lhademmor, do you have windows on your thinkpad?
[09:00] <foutrelis> luisgmarine: It's advised not to mess with root's password. A security thing if you like. :)
[09:00] <Flosoft> hey
[09:00] <Lhademmor> mikedep333: Yep. It's dual boot.
[09:00] <luisgmarine> foutrelis, I think that might be a bit too late for me =P
[09:00] <mikedep333> in windows
[09:00] <Flosoft> I want to use my TV Out on my GF2
[09:00] <foutrelis> luisgmarine: heh :]
[09:00] <Flosoft> I use the nv module
[09:00] <Flosoft> how can I use it?
[09:00] <mikedep333> disable standby for closing your lid, close it, and see if windows is accessible still
[09:00] <eck> Lhademmor: it's a bug -- I am pretty sure that suspend is only supposed to be enabled on "whitelisted" computers that it is known to work for
[09:00] <iratik> Is anyone else running a plasma tv as their monitor .. i need a guess at a horizontal refresh rate
[09:01] <soundray> Lhademmor: check whether it's configured to hibernate or suspend when you close the lid. Then activate hibernate or suspend without closing the lid and check whether any errors are logged. Also worth looking for error msgs in /var/log/syslog and/or dmesg
[09:01] <mikedep333> if it isn't then that's a bug with your laptop hardware
[09:01] <mikedep333> also
[09:01] <mikedep333> in ubuntu
[09:01] <mikedep333> under power management
[09:01] <eck> Lhademmor: you might want to report it in launchpad
[09:01] <Flosoft> !nvidia
[09:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:01] <mikedep333> you can configure what happens when you close your lid
[09:01] <soundray> Lhademmor: also check out the settings options in /etc/default/acpi-support
[09:01] <dooglus> how do you run the gconf editor in feisty?  I can't find it on the menus
[09:01] <eck> dooglus: use alt-f2 to launch it
[09:01] <CirroX> haai
[09:01] <mikedep333> dooglus: edit "main menu" under preferences
[09:01] <soundray> Lhademmor: and have a look for Linux installation reports for your model on tuxmobil.de
[09:02] <Lhademmor> mikedep333: Windows has no problem with the closing of the lid. Ubuntu has trouble hibernating and/or going into standby I guess
[09:02] <reno_> scusate il disturbo
[09:02] <ferret_0567> Does Feisty include NetworkManager, MadWiFi, and nm-applet?
[09:02] <reno_> come si va sul canale italiano?
[09:02] <soundray> Lhademmor: oops, sorry, tuxmobil.org
[09:02] <mikedep333> Lhademmor: that is sometimes the case. Still, go to power management and change the option of what happens when you close your lid
[09:02] <soundray> !it | reno_
[09:02] <ubotu> reno_: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[09:02] <dooglus> it used to be called 'configuration editor' in dapper I think.  did it get deleted from the menu?
[09:02] <soundray> reno_: /join #ubuntu-it
[09:02] <eck> ferret_0567: the NM stuff is in the default install, I think you can grab madwifi from the repositories
[09:03] <Flosoft> how do I enable my Composite out?
[09:03] <mikedep333> dooglus: it is available in the menu, but it is disabled by default
[09:03] <Lhademmor> mikedep333: Will try that
[09:03] <ferret_0567> ok
[09:03] <reno_> grazie
[09:03] <reno_> ciao
[09:03] <MenZa> Um, how do I install a generic ethernet driver?
[09:03] <Lhademmor> soundray: No, there's R51 allright, but nothing about Ubuntu on R51
[09:03] <ferret_0567> What version of linux-restricted-modules do I need to bring to my friends house for a non-upgraded Feisty install?
[09:04] <dooglus> mikedep333: ok, I see.  it's in 'system tools' but disabled.
[09:04] <soundray> Lhademmor: reports re. other distributions sometimes contain valuable hints and workarounds, too
[09:04] <cow_2001> can you explain why swapon acts this way and how to fix it? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18006/
[09:04] <MenZa> My docking station has ethernet and, needless to say, Ubuntu hasn't installed drivers to it, since it.. was undocked when I installed the system.
[09:04] <Lhademmor> soundray: There's http://www.dw-itsecurity.de/r51/details/suspending.html, but I'm not sure how much I understand atm...
[09:04] <dooglus> "main menu" isn't a good name for that tool - it edits the 'preferences' menu too
[09:05] <eck> cow_2001: did you recreate the swap partition? if so, the uuid of the partition probably changed
[09:05] <Rex_> cow_2001, fiesty?
[09:05] <cow_2001> eck, i recreated and then changed the uuid in fstab
[09:05] <cow_2001> eck, so it's alright now
[09:05] <ballmenace> How do I use the launcher tool to create a link to a folder from the desktop ? The tool only gives the options: "application","applicaton in terminal" and "file".
[09:05] <who8878> hi
[09:05] <cow_2001> eck, except for this... of course
[09:05] <cow_2001> Rex_, yes
[09:05] <MenZa> !hi | who8878
[09:05] <ubotu> who8878: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:06] <soundray> Lhademmor: nothing useful in there for your situation. It's slightly outdated as well, referring to kernel 2.6.11
[09:06] <Lhademmor> soundray: Okay. I think I'll try filing a report in Launchpad. And see what happens
[09:07] <cow_2001> i saw some bug talking about failed hibernations and uuid problem of swap partitions
[09:07] <eck> ballmenace: select file
[09:07] <soundray> Lhademmor: take a bit of time to experiment. With Thinkpads, that eventually leads to results in my experience.
[09:07] <MenZa> How do I install drivers for my ethernet? I'd be surprised if there were no drivers on the Feisty disk.
[09:07] <freakabcd> hi all
[09:07] <freakabcd> k3b on feisty is messed up!
[09:07] <Rex_> MenZa, what kind of ethernet card you have?
[09:07] <eck> MenZa: i'm sure the drivers are in there... check dmesg to see if the kernel saw any new devices when you plugged in the docking station
[09:07] <Lhademmor> I have experimenting galore on Ubuntu. I'm an utter Linux n00b
[09:07] <ditoa> hey everyone
[09:07] <freakabcd> i can't click the 'burn' button cos its disabled. it says load blank dvd
[09:08] <MenZa> Rex_: It's a docking station
[09:08] <freakabcd> i have a blank in. and even k3b shows device info on the top bar as blank dvd disc
[09:08] <cow_2001> maybe some user of this computer tries hibernation but it fails every time, so i want to remove the hibernation option from the shutdown menu
[09:08] <freakabcd> anyone encounter this problem?
[09:08] <MenZa> hmm
[09:08] <cow_2001> shutdown/logout/switch user/hibernate/restart menu
[09:08] <MenZa> I do have eth0, eck
[09:08] <Enselic_> freakabcd: is your burner recoqnized?
[09:08] <Rex_> MenZa, does it not just use the card in your laptop?
[09:08] <multik> hi guys
[09:08] <MenZa> There is no card in my laptop, Rex_ :P
[09:08] <freakabcd> Enselic_, ofcourse it is!
[09:09] <MenZa> eck: oh wait
[09:09] <Enselic_> freakabcd: what program do you use for burning?
[09:09] <MenZa> now I feel dumb
[09:09] <eck> MenZa: have you tried getting the device up with ifconfig/dhclient and so forth?
[09:09] <MenZa> sec
[09:09] <freakabcd> Enselic_, like i said, startup k3b, insert blank dvd in. it shows on the top media info: blank dvd inserted capacity 4.4g
[09:09] <freakabcd> Enselic_, k3b
[09:09] <MenZa> eck: nothing on dmesg | grep eth
[09:09] <Rex_> MenZa, I would guess that your card is in your laptop, and when you dock, it just extends it.
[09:10] <MenZa> Rex_: Nope, no internal eth or wlan :(
[09:10] <Rex_> :(
[09:10] <MenZa> so now I'm actually trying to get eth working, so I can install ndiswrapper :D
[09:10] <Lhademmor> Also, I haven't been using Ubuntu much (yet), but it seems to be eating up the battery very fast. Should I report that?
[09:10] <freakabcd> Enselic_, what other program do i use to burn data dvds ?
[09:10] <MenZa> Rex_, eck: brb, I need to fetch my wlan card
[09:10] <Enselic_> freakabcd: I prefer k3b as well
[09:10] <ditoa> i was wondering if there are any sites which explain all about the linux file system such as /etc /proc /usr and all that?
[09:10] <Enselic_> freakabcd: have you told it to burn anything?
[09:11] <eck> ditoa: man hier
[09:11] <ditoa> what the key files are such as fstab, etc
[09:11] <ferret_0567> What Linux kernel version is the default on Feisty?
[09:11] <XP1> can only tell if linux will save my laptop from being thrown into the dumpster? I tried windows 98 through windows xp, but it doesn't want to work with ISA 16-bit PCMCIA. Will ubuntu work with my IBM 760XL laptop?
[09:11] <ditoa> cheers eck, i am also looking for info on all the "special" files as well
[09:11] <Enselic_> ditoa: /etc is for configuration, /proc is a way to access kernel information, /usr is where distro programs are installed (/usr/local for "custom" programs)
[09:11] <ferret_0567> 2.6.20-1<something>
[09:12] <freakabcd> Enselic_, not since i have upgraded to feisty
[09:12] <ferret_0567> If somebody can tell me, I can download the correct linux-restricted-modules package
[09:12] <neo2k> ferret_0567: pretty sure it's: vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic
[09:12] <Enselic_> freakabcd: I mean, you you specified what files you want to burn?
[09:12] <ferret_0567> Wow, really?
[09:12] <XP1> anyone?
[09:12] <ditoa> cheers Enselic_, what about the files though? things like fstab, etc. i want to read up all the files which make the very basics of linux work
[09:12] <eck> ditoa: section 5 of the man pages holds the pages for configuration files, i'd suspect that most of those man pages would be of interest -- i'm not sure if there's a way to browse the man pages by section, but if you can that would be a good place to start
[09:12] <freakabcd> Enselic_, i'm not that dumb
[09:12] <neo2k> ferret_0567: ls /boot gives me that as lowest version
[09:12] <ferret_0567> In the late beta and now, it was 2.6.20
[09:12] <freakabcd> Enselic_, i created a new project and all the files are added
[09:13] <ferret_0567> That's because you upgraded
[09:13] <Lhademmor> Anyone knows ETA on drivers for Creative X-Fi sound cards?
[09:13] <ferret_0567> I did too
[09:13] <void^> XP1: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:760XL
[09:13] <Enselic_> ditoa: most individal configuration files can be accessed through "man <configfile>"  like man fstab
[09:13] <freakabcd> and the burn properties dialog that comes up, all settings are fine, just that this dialog seems to think that there is no blank dvd inside the drive :(
[09:13] <neo2k> ferret_0567: no i did not, installed from 7.04
[09:13] <XP1> void^, thanks, I'll have a look :)
[09:13] <Enselic_> ditoa: though googling for "fstab tutorial" often gives easier introductinos
[09:13] <ferret_0567> I guess I'll download them all
[09:13] <Enselic_> ditoa: reading man pages is a bit awkward to learn a program most of the time, man pages are mainly for reference
[09:13] <MenZa> eck: Can you help me install the drivers?
[09:13] <Wubipwntvista> is there an official Wubi channel?  I installed wubi and I can't boot into windows vista (I NOW know it's incompatable -.-;  Might want to make it a bit more obvious).  Is there any way to fix my boot.ini/anyone know what a vista one looks like
[09:13] <ballmenace> How do I use the launcher tool to create a link to a folder from the desktop ? The tool only gives the options: "application","applicaton in terminal" and "file".
[09:14] <knapp> what is the channel for ubuntu beryl, compiz, etc help?

[09:14] <Lhademmor> What he said
[09:14] <ubotu> Lhademmor: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:14] <ferret_0567> Then, I can just do a: sudo dpkg -i linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`.deb

[09:14] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[09:14] <Flosoft> hey
[09:14] <auTONYmous> ferret_0567: are you just trying to get the restricted modules for the kernel you're currently running (as the default kernel)?
[09:14] <eck> ditoa: the ethernet drivers? i'm sure they are already in the kernel, it's possible that you might have to modprobe them
[09:14] <eck> err, that was to MenZa
